| Gentoon | am I totally screwed here? | 00:03 |
| ikonia | Gentoon: boot into single user mode | 00:04 |
| ikonia | Gentoon: or use a livecd | 00:04 |
| Noskcaj | Vlany, what version of ubuntu are you running | 00:04 |
| Gentoon | How do I boot into single user mode? | 00:04 |
| IdleOne | !fixsudo | 00:05 |

| bel3atar | add single to kernel line | 00:05 |
| ikonia | in that case just reboot if its a liveusb | 00:05 |
| Gentoon | ikonia: Its persistant | 00:05 |
| ikonia | /etc shouldn't be persistant | 00:05 |
| Gentoon | wont work | 00:05 |
| Gentoon | it is all persistant | 00:05 |
| Vlany | Noskcaj: 12.04 and apparently this VGA is old and no longer supported. But i think dthis is crazy, and i suppose someone did manage to enable 3D with it | 00:05 |

| ikonia | Gentoon: if you used visudo and there was an error with it, it would have said on save | 00:10 |
| ikonia | Gentoon: I'm aware of what I said, you missed out the next line where I asked what you had actually done | 00:10 |
| Gentoon | I already said I commented out the 2 default ubuntu users and added my user | 00:10 |
| ikonia | Gentoon: right, so your user should work | 00:11 |
| ikonia | so you should be able to make changes using your user | 00:11 |

| lvleph | Can someone tell me why firefox is all of a sudden giving the following error | 00:38 |
| lvleph | Accessibility: failed to find module 'libgail-gnome' | 00:38 |
| lvmer | sudo apt-get install libgail-gnome | 00:38 |
| lvleph | lvmer: I tried that obvious fix but that is unavailable so I tried libgail-common and it says it is installed | 00:39 |
| lvmer | sudo apt-get install libgail-3-0 libgail18 | 00:40 |
| lvleph | already newest version lvmer | 00:41 |
| lvmer | you already have them? | 00:41 |

| lvleph | I have been using ubuntu since 2005 or something, so... | 00:42 |
| lvmer | is it worth getting libgail-3-dev | 00:42 |

| ICU | hello | 00:42 |
| ICU | if i type su in terminal and then asks for pass , witch is the pass | 00:43 |
| lvleph | I was thinking of purging and reinstalling, but that is scary | 00:43 |
| lvmer | know what to put the start & end values of a partition on a 3TB HD? mkpart primary X X | 00:43 |
| Dabo_ | Does anyone know about alienwares with two graphics cards, only using the non-gforce one, and never using the gforce one? | 00:43 |
| lvleph | the pass should be your user pass ICU | 00:43 |
| ICU | that one does not work\ | 00:44 |
| lvleph | sorry lvmer all I know is that this would be the location on the drive | 00:44 |
| ks07_ | ICU, lvleph, should it not be the root pass | 00:44 |
| hbx | anyone running OS4 | 00:44 |
| lvleph | the difference will tell you the amount of space | 00:44 |
| ikonia | OS4 ? | 00:44 |
| lvmer | yah I'm trying to make sure it is aligned | 00:44 |
| lvmer | I could do 1 -1 | 00:44 |

| hbx | ok | 00:45 |
| ICU | is there a defalt one? | 00:45 |
| ikonia | ICU: no | 00:45 |
| ks07_ | ICU, no, it is disabled by default | 00:45 |

| ikonia | no | 00:46 |

| ICU | thank , it is killing me , i am tring to istal wine or playon linux but keep geting a problem with packege dependencies | 00:46 |
| lvleph | it was a joke ikonia | 00:46 |

| Devlin | I transfer files from my netbook to my Amiga by Compact Flash fairly regularly, and Ubuntu destroys the file bits(executable/r/w) when I copy them to my CF card | 00:47 |
| mrhyde | how can i make firefox display clearer text? its kind of fuzzy on my 13inch mbp http://postimage.org/image/p4sky3obh/ | 00:47 |
| ikonia | Devlin: what file system is on the card ? | 00:47 |
| lvleph | truetype fonts? | 00:47 |
| ikonia | mrhyde: looks clear | 00:47 |
| RangerBob | Yeah, they don't look bad to me either. | 00:47 |
| Devlin | On the CF? it's fat32 | 00:48 |
| mrhyde | I see it blurry :( compared to browsing safari on os x, browsing firefox on ubuntu seems to give me a headache | 00:48 |
| Devlin | but this happened when I tried to copy apps to my SD card | 00:48 |
| ikonia | Devlin: I don't know/think if that supports execute file attributes | 00:48 |
| ikonia | Devlin: whats on the SD ? | 00:48 |
| Devlin | Same, fat32 | 00:48 |
| ikonia | ok, so same comment | 00:48 |
| ICU | the following packages have unmet dependencies: | 00:48 |
| Devlin | ikonia, this same file operation on windows doesn't do it though | 00:49 |
| ICU | how to get rid of that messege | 00:49 |
| ICU | ? | 00:49 |
| ikonia | ICU: do not paste in here | 00:49 |
| RangerBob | You can install truetype fonts and set Firefox to use them, change the ubuntu settings for font rendering, etc. | 00:49 |
| ikonia | ICU: you have to fix the dependencies | 00:49 |
| ICU | sorry | 00:49 |
| ICU | how do i do that? | 00:49 |
| Devlin | I'm convinced there's a security thing causing it | 00:49 |
| ikonia | ICU: where are you installing from ? | 00:49 |
| ikonia | Devlin: I disagree, | 00:49 |
| Devlin | I have another SD card formatted to ext3 specifically for my Eee | 00:49 |
| ICU | terminal , software center , synaptic | 00:49 |
| Devlin | and it does it to that too | 00:49 |
| ikonia | Devlin: oh really, even on the ext3 one | 00:50 |
| ikonia | Devlin: that's interesting | 00:50 |
| Devlin | If I put something executable on that SD | 00:50 |
| ICU | the same messege | 00:50 |
| Devlin | the +x is removed | 00:50 |
| ikonia | ICU: what is the package name | 00:50 |
| ICU | wine | 00:50 |
| ikonia | !info wine | 00:50 |
| ubottu | wine (source: wine1.4): Microsoft Windows Compatibility Layer (meta-package). In component universe, is extra. Version 1.4.1-0ubuntu1 (quantal), package size 0 kB, installed size 21 kB | 00:50 |
| Devlin | If I *force* it set as root, the system clears the +x | 00:50 |
| ikonia | Devlin: very interesting | 00:50 |
| Devlin | I've seen it in ubuntu variants like Linux Mint too | 00:50 |
| ikonia | ICU: please pastebin the error output | 00:51 |
| ikonia | Devlin: how are you copying ? through the file manager ? | 00:51 |
| Devlin | yeah via nautilus | 00:51 |
| ikonia | Devlin: for interest try using "cp" | 00:51 |
| ikonia | Devlin: and cp -p | 00:51 |
| ICU | ikonia, http://pastebin.com/R49XGpN2 | 00:51 |
| Devlin | I don't know if it's relevant or not | 00:52 |
| ikonia | ICU: that's 1.5 wine | 00:52 |
| ikonia | ICU: that's not made by ubuntu, you need to ask the guys in #winehq channel - that's their package | 00:52 |
| lvleph | even a purge didn't fix the firefox libgail-gnome issue | 00:52 |
| ikonia | Devlin: try it, lets find out | 00:52 |
| ikonia | Devlin: I'm curious | 00:52 |
| Devlin | but these files are Commodore Amiga (68k) binary files | 00:52 |
| PJSingh5000 | mrhyde, here's how to solve your "blurry font in Firefox on Ubuntu problem... (1) sudo mv /etc/fonts/conf.d/10-hinting-slight.conf ~/Documents (2) sudo chown `whoami`:`whoami` ~/Documents/10-hinting-slight.conf (3) sudo ln -sv /etc/fonts/conf.avail/10-hinting-full.conf /etc/fonts/conf.d/ (4) If you're happy, just delete 10-hinting-slight.conf in your Documents folder (that was just a backup). | 00:52 |

| lvleph | unLabs errors | 00:54 |
| ikonia | \r is valid | 00:54 |
| ICU | ikonia, would you tell me other software that i can use to install windows programs | 00:54 |
| ikonia | in m4 | 00:54 |
| ikonia | ICU: "wine" | 00:54 |
| lvleph | is it? I thought \n was and \r wasn't | 00:54 |
| ikonia | ICU: to be honest, if you want to use windows programs, you should use windows | 00:54 |
| ikonia | lvleph: that's shell | 00:54 |
| unLab-Hackbox10 | ikonia what do I do about that? | 00:54 |
| lvleph | drinking and coding don't always mix | 00:54 |
| ikonia | lvleph: this is m4 macros | 00:55 |
| ikonia | unLab-Hackbox10: investigate | 00:55 |
| ricardomb | hi verybudy | 00:57 |
| ICU | ikonia, i just want to play counter strike in ubuntu , i like more ubuntu then windows | 00:57 |
| ikonia | ICU: again, my opinion is use windows for windows software | 00:58 |
| ikonia | ICU: and what you won't doesn't change the dependency error you are getting | 00:58 |
| ikonia | ICU: you've chosen to use a 3rd party software repo - from winehq, #winehq the channel can / should help you fix it | 00:58 |
| ICU | ok | 00:58 |
| telemaster000 | ICU, Just dual boot windows. | 00:58 |
| unLab-Hackbox10 | ikonia lvleph so is the issue with the line endings? | 00:58 |
| lvleph | no | 00:58 |
| Devlin | ok ikonia it still clears the +x when copying using CP | 00:58 |
| ikonia | unLab-Hackbox10: maybe, myself and lvleph disagree on that | 00:58 |
| ikonia | Devlin: very interesting | 00:58 |
| ICU | thank you | 00:58 |
| xzased | Hi, I'm trying to figure out partman to preseed some ubuntu installs, I want to be able to label physical volumes when using lvm, I can't find any docs about it, from what I've seen in examples it seems you can only label volume groups and logical volumes. Any help is appreciated | 00:59 |
| lvleph | you could try dos2unix unLab-Hackbox10 | 00:59 |
| lvleph | if it works then it works | 00:59 |
| ikonia | dos2unix doesn't change \r | 01:00 |
| Devlin | It seems that the system strips any +x that you copy onto external media at all | 01:00 |
| ikonia | it will just remove ^M | 01:00 |
| ikonia | Devlin: I've never noticed that at all, | 01:00 |
| lvleph | which is why I said I was wrong | 01:00 |
| ikonia | I'm %80 sure \r is valid in m4 | 01:00 |
| Devlin | It's kind-of a big problem | 01:00 |
| lvleph | but it also wouldn't harm anything | 01:00 |
| ikonia | but I don't use m4 every day | 01:00 |

| DoNotTrack | I apt-get purged pulseaudio and reinstalled it and all the packages that were removed with it. Since then, my HDMI port had not worked. Is it possibly related? aplay -l and pavucontrol both show the HDMI port but it no longer switches automatically when I use it. | 01:03 |

| Devlin | This used to be ridiculously easy | 01:03 |
| smw | ikonia, I am saying it will work if I just dd if=u.iso of=disk, yes? | 01:04 |
| Devlin | use gconf-editor to set the positions close:minimize,maximize | 01:04 |
| Devlin | that didn't work | 01:04 |
| Devlin | Well, I say it didn't work | 01:04 |
| Devlin | it worked in SOME apps like Google Chrome | 01:04 |
| ikonia | smw: depends on the image type | 01:05 |
| Devlin | but not in much else | 01:05 |
| smw | ikonia, this is the ubuntu desktop image | 01:05 |

| Malgorath | I have a Nvidia GT250 in my ubuntu system. I have an ATI HD6870 in a Drawer which spec wise is better then the 250 but I've been told that ATI doesn't do good with ubuntu(degraded performance) is it better to stay with nvidia and just buy a new card eventually? or should I use the ATI? | 01:05 |
| seba_ | Ikonia listen. I installed witcher 2. When I try start then nothing happens. | 01:06 |
| ikonia | seba_: I have no idea what you're talking about, sorry | 01:06 |
| milamber | felipe_Brz: try Win + W | 01:06 |
| smw | ikonia, right, but do you know if it works for the ubuntu livecd | 01:06 |
| Malgorath | seba_, games on WINE do not always work, have you looked up the game on wine's site? | 01:06 |
| ikonia | smw: I have no idea what type of image the ubuntu livecd is without looking | 01:06 |
| smw | ok | 01:06 |

| seba_ | but i have a DVD with this game | 01:06 |
| seba_ | and I installed my game with use this dvd | 01:07 |
| seba_ | and directx ( winetricks ) | 01:07 |
| seba_ | i have no idea why it doesn;t work | 01:07 |
| ikonia | seba_: I suggest taking wine compatability issues to the #winehq channel | 01:08 |
| Malgorath | seba_, sounds like you need to go to #wine and ask there. Probably will need to post the output of your "wine witcher.exe" to pastebin | 01:08 |
| felipe_Brz | milamber: i see Win + w displays all the windows but then I don't think I can cycle through them with the keyboard | 01:08 |
| Malgorath | er yeah #winehq | 01:08 |
| felipe_Brz | i'd just like good ole fashioned alt+tab with each window on its own even if they're the same | 01:08 |
| seba_ | But when i paste wine witcher.exe it want open witcher.exe in this path: C:\\windows\\system32\\ | 01:09 |
| Devlin | err | 01:09 |
| Devlin | so put the full path in seba_ ? | 01:09 |
| Malgorath | seba_, #winehq is where you need to ask about it | 01:09 |
| bazhang | seba_, #winehq | 01:09 |
| seba_ | Ok | 01:09 |
| seba_ | Thanks | 01:09 |
| seba_ | channel winehq? | 01:09 |
| Malgorath | yes type /join #winehq | 01:10 |
| bazhang | Devlin, use tweak tool to set that. get an extension from the gnome shell site | 01:10 |
| seba_ | Thanks very much ;-) | 01:10 |
| Devlin | It doesn't work bazhang | 01:10 |
| Devlin | I tried | 01:10 |
| seba_ | Regards | 01:10 |
| bazhang | Devlin, sure it does. it works perfectly here | 01:10 |
| milamber | felipe_Brz: alt + tab, then alt + ` <backtick> | 01:10 |
| Devlin | Rignt, I have tweak tool open | 01:11 |
| milamber | felipe_Brz: i believe is the only way to do that unless you want to change the default switcher | 01:11 |
| bazhang | Devlin, sounds like you have some conflicting extensions in there | 01:11 |
| Devlin | I don't have any extensions other than the "remove accessibilty" and "disable top-of-screen hotspot" though | 01:12 |
| felipe_Brz | milamber: i see. thanks for helping. | 01:12 |

| lvleph | restarting the computer fixed my libgail-gnome issue | 01:19 |
| lvmer | lvleph: :) | 01:19 |
| lvleph | what happened to ubuntu? I have to restart on a daily basis | 01:19 |
| lvleph | it use to be that I would restart a couple times a year | 01:19 |
| lvmer | I don't have any problems | 01:19 |
| lvleph | basically when they switched to unity I have had issues | 01:19 |
| lvmer | unity? | 01:20 |
| lvmer | instead of gnome? | 01:20 |
| yeats | lvleph: without context, no one knows what you're talking about | 01:20 |
| lvmer | like the shell? | 01:20 |
| lvleph | lvmer does since we were talking about it earlier | 01:20 |

| lvleph | why should I not be annoyed for being booted? | 01:26 |
| ikonia | lvleph: talk to me about the problem | 01:26 |

| fergal32 | does anybody know howto remove the lsb-release package without removing firefox etc. ? | 01:27 |
| gentoon | ikonia: I dont know? I guess after? I am not sure how the whole thing works | 01:27 |
| ikonia | gentoon: what ubuntu version ? | 01:28 |
| ikonia | (the squash version differs from version to version) | 01:28 |
| gentoon | I just mounted the thumb drive then did root@ubuntu:/media/Ubuntu Live/casper# mount ./filesystem.squashfs /mnt -t squashfs -o loop | 01:28 |

| gentoon | ikonia: k | 01:30 |
| ikonia | gentoon: are you mounting a livecd image ? | 01:30 |
| gentoon | Yes.. remember I broke the sudoers file on my live system | 01:30 |
| yeats | FuzzyThor: I can't see the error and when I source that file it doesn't give me the error | 01:31 |
| ikonia | gentoon: but is it actually a livecd image or from a read/write device | 01:31 |
| gentoon | All images are meant for CD.. its on a thumbdrive.. how would I do persistance on a cdrom? | 01:31 |
| gentoon | You are confusing me | 01:32 |
| FuzzyThor | yeats: when i open a ssh it give me an issue and wont open a screen | 01:32 |
| ikonia | gentoon: I was asking if you where mounting an image from a read/write media or directory from the CD | 01:32 |
| yeats | FuzzyThor: line 132 appears to be the end of the file, and that error indicates an open "if" or "case" or parenthesis that didn't get closed | 01:32 |
| gentoon | ikonia: There is no CD... | 01:32 |
| lvleph | Hey look at that another reboot | 01:32 |
| gentoon | You dont make sense | 01:32 |
| lvleph | x just constantly crashes | 01:33 |
| FuzzyThor | yeats: im assuming breaks between lines dont matter | 01:33 |
| lvleph | Maybe I will just ditch ubuntu all together and move on to debian or something | 01:33 |
| yeats | FuzzyThor: correct | 01:33 |
| ikonia | gentoon: I'm just checking you're not trying to mount a read only media read/write as it's common mistake | 01:34 |
| ikonia | lvleph: enough | 01:34 |
| gentoon | But you know its a thumb drive | 01:34 |
| yeats | FuzzyThor: you backed up your original ~/.bashrc? if so perhaps diff would help? | 01:34 |
| gentoon | It has persistance.. | 01:34 |
| ikonia | gentoon: I didn't know if you where booting from a live media to try to recover | 01:34 |
| ikonia | hence asking | 01:34 |
| FuzzyThor | yeats: yea i have an unmodified copy | 01:35 |
| gentoon | Wait the system i a mounting FROM you mean? | 01:35 |
| gentoon | Its the same laptop another live thumbdrive with persistance | 01:35 |
| djshotglass | need help setting up a cron job to wget the latest iso at 2am | 01:35 |
| ikonia | gentoon: well, whatever you're actually trying to mount | 01:35 |

| ikonia | gentoon: just checking you're not trying to mount read/write a read only media | 01:36 |
| KI4RO | Is it possible to reach another system across the internet using ssh? | 01:36 |
| FuzzyThor | yeats: it shouldn't matter what ssh client i use right. I have been using bitvise | 01:36 |
| gentoon | You know what I am trying to mount! you knew before.. | 01:36 |
| ikonia | gentoon: I'm just tryin gto clarify you're not making a common mistake | 01:36 |
| yeats | FuzzyThor: no - it's a bash-level error | 01:36 |
| gentoon | ikonia: That makes no sense | 01:36 |

| KI4RO | milamber, Cool...just need to know what? | 01:37 |

| milamber | KI4RO: the ip address/port of the other machine (and that machine has to be running some sort of ssh server) | 01:38 |
| gentoon | ikonia: You keep repeating that.. but why ask when you already know what I am mounting..? Seriously? | 01:38 |
| ikonia | gentoon: I don't know, that's why I'm asking | 01:38 |
| milamber | !details | lvleph | 01:38 |

| milamber | KI4RO: it becomes less simple then. she would have to install openssh-server on her machine and then typically there are some firewall settings to enable port forwarding from machines on the scary interwebs to talk to machines on the home network. | 01:40 |
| lvleph | sudo apt-get upgrade will do the actual update | 01:40 |

The goal is to be able to boot some WinPE isos over the network using memdisk and syslinux. In the fog project, it has way more bells and whistles than I require. All I need is a DNS, DHCP, and a TFTP service, as well as anything else to shoot my .iso files over the network. Just a 192.168.0.xxx network. Nothing special. Any guides? I | 01:43 |

I tried again with win 7 and was getting the same 56-75 kbs donld. I and the tech dont understand.. concast without me knowing pumped it up to 130 mbs dnld and now I get 2.1 mb downld.

| Tomekon2011 | fair enough. I'm trying to get Guitarix set up through JACK, but JACK keeps saying it can't connect to the server | 03:41 |
| kenzie | can we get adobe flash player? | 03:41 |
| mike024 | guest71588: so you forgot your user password? | 03:41 |
| kenzie | hello? | 03:41 |
| PJSingh5000 | Guest71588, the user password and sudo password should be the same, as long as your "user" has admin privileges. | 03:42 |
| kenzie | can we get adobe flash player? | 03:42 |
| PJSingh5000 | kenzie, you can play flash | 03:42 |
| kenzie | how? | 03:42 |
| Guest71588 | yes then i just forgot the one password if the same | 03:42 |
| kenzie | PJSingh5000 how do i get flash? | 03:43 |
| PJSingh5000 | kenzie, hold on, I'll paste it. | 03:43 |
| mike024 | Guest71588: You want to boot into single user and reset your password. Guide here: http://www.psychocats.net/ubuntu/resetpassword | 03:44 |
| PJSingh5000 | kenzie, I like to do it from the command line... see this http://pastebin.com/VVQM1v2i | 03:45 |
| Guest71588 | ok i looked at that but i dont have a recovery keneral in there for sore reason | 03:45 |
| PJSingh5000 | kenzie, you can do this usign a GUI interface as well. | 03:46 |
| mike024 | Guest71588: You shouldn't need it. Look at this guide then: http://www.cyberciti.biz/faq/grub-boot-into-single-user-mode/ | 03:47 |
| PJSingh5000 | kenzie, Just go to "Software Sources", click the 2nd tab "Other Software" and check "Canonical Partners" in the list. | 03:47 |
| mike024 | Guest71588: Basically the low down is hit e and add Single to the end of the line starting with kernel | 03:48 |
| PJSingh5000 | kenzie, then, using "Software Center" search for and remove flashplugin-installer. Then search for and install "adobe-flashplugin". Also, search for and install "adobe-flash-properties-gtk" which is a GUI to configure flash. | 03:48 |
| PJSingh5000 | kenzie, by the way, is a program to install Flash. But I like to install it myself, because I think, it always installs the 32 bit Flash Player, even if you have a 64 bit machine. To avoid this, I just uninstall "flashplugin-installer". | 03:50 |
| diboy2 | hello won't anyone help me with ubuntu? | 03:52 |
| mike024 | diboy2: just ask the question. Dont' ask to ask | 03:52 |
| PJSingh5000 | kenzie, and by the way (just so you know what is going on) the 3rd line in the command line "script" I posted is simply to add "Canonical Partners" to your Software Center. It is disabled by default. It's just faster to do this on the command-line, since I have to do it all the time whenenever I do a new install. | 03:53 |
| PJSingh5000 | diboy2, what are you trying to do? | 03:54 |

| maslo | mike024: mike , mysql has been installed for more than a days and memory usage has never been higher than 130mb ram total, I didn't create any tables/database ever since I installed it, I installed phpmyadmin and mysql to get ready for upcomming week whbere I will need it, I don't know why all of a suddent everything would add up to 300mb and happens right after installing those 2 packages (pecl and mailparse through pecl) | 04:12 |
| pablo_ | o0Ubunite0o: In the process of reporting the bug, it says that I have to come here before filling the bug | 04:13 |
| Guest71588 | mike024 when i type passwd name it said /bin/sh passwd not found | 04:13 |
| mike024 | maslo: I have no experience with those packages. You could remove mysql and reinstall it(you said you don't have anything useful on it anyways) | 04:14 |
| maslo | I will try doing that right away but I just find it very odd that it would be the cause of it, hold on trying right away~ | 04:14 |
| mike024 | Guest71588: umm.... you sure you typed it in right? | 04:15 |
| o0Ubunite0o | pablo_, you got some details on that error | 04:15 |
| mike024 | Guest71588: passwd | 04:15 |
| Guest71588 | mike024 like this passwd user | 04:15 |
| mike024 | Guest71588: try typing /bin/bash | 04:16 |
| mike024 | Guest71588: then passwd | 04:16 |
| o0Ubunite0o | pablo_, should have a more details drop down error with the message of what failed. | 04:16 |
| mike024 | maslo: that is the only thing using that much memory that I can see. I don't know what else would be doing it | 04:17 |
| maslo | mike024: removed mysql-server through apt-get purge mysql-server, same for phpmyadmin, rebooted the machine and the processus mysqlld still opens up and uses 0.4 | 04:17 |
| Guest71588 | mike024 saids bin/bash not found | 04:17 |
| o0Ubunite0o | pablo_, so occurs after using the nvidia drivers from the restricted drivers list | 04:18 |
| nabn | ikonia: hi. apparantly, the mirror i am using doesn't have the newest version of the package (g++). I am now using the main server. Thanks. | 04:18 |
| pablo_ | o0Ubunite0o: sure. Clean install of 12.04. Upgraded. Nvidia recommended installed. Set up separate screens. Main screen working. Second blank screen. killall nautilus brings the correct background as in first bug, but top panel and no launcher. Then DISPLAY=:0.1 compiz --replace, brings the top panel and launcher but no windows decoration so I can't even move windows. | 04:18 |
| mike024 | Guest71588: ls /bin/ Does anything show up? | 04:18 |
| ikonia | nabn: rats | 04:18 |
| Guest71588 | mike024 yes it does | 04:18 |
| mike024 | maslo: odd. sudo apt-get purge mysqld | 04:18 |
| maslo | package not found | 04:19 |
| pablo_ | o0Ubunite0o: it looks like a regresion... of both bugs. | 04:19 |
| mike024 | Guest71588: can you see passwd in there? anything interesting jump out at you?(maybe give me a couple example ones) | 04:19 |
| milamber | !info mysql-server | 04:20 |
| ubottu | mysql-server (source: mysql-5.5): MySQL database server (metapackage depending on the latest version). In component main, is optional. Version 5.5.28-0ubuntu0.12.10.2 (quantal), package size 11 kB, installed size 113 kB | 04:20 |
| nabn | ikonia: its awefully slow, though | 04:20 |
| o0Ubunite0o | pablo_, have you tried some of the alternatives it gives you from list with the same results? | 04:20 |
| mike024 | maslo: dpkg --get-selections | grep mysql | 04:20 |
| Guest71588 | mike024 no passwd but like cat dd lsmod mkdir sh busybox there is 27 | 04:20 |
| maslo | libdbd-mysql-perl install libmysqlclient16 install mysql-client-5.1 install mysql-client-core-5.1 install mysql-common install mysql-server-5.1 install mysql-server-core-5.1 install php5-mysql | 04:20 |
| pablo_ | o0Ubunite0o: I'm afraid I don't understand you question. | 04:21 |
| mike024 | maslo: remove the server if you don't need it | 04:21 |
| === atrius is now known as atrius_away | ||
| mike024 | Guest71588: is adduser in there? | 04:23 |
| Guest71588 | mike024 no it isnt | 04:23 |
| maslo | mike024: I didn't install any of these though...the only oned I installed is mysql-server which I removed, you think pear/mailparse did? I purged all the list and it's back to 131mb | 04:23 |
| mike024 | maslo: you could also try the various cleaning options in apt. man apt for them | 04:23 |
| maslo | but now I'm owrried that I removed something I wasn'T suppose to | 04:23 |
| o0Ubunite0o | pablo_, when you had it scan for your hardware, for me, my nvidia lists a few options of which driver I'd prefer. Did you have other options to select besides the recommended one? | 04:23 |
| mike024 | maslo: they were likely dependencies of something else. pear or mailparse may have | 04:24 |
| milamber | maslo: mysql-server is a meta package, removing the meta-package will not remove any of the other packages it installed. did you remove the *specific* version of the server you installed and purge? | 04:24 |
| maslo | the dpkg command you sent earlier doesn't show anything now | 04:24 |
| pablo_ | o0Ubunite0o: thanks. Checking list now. BTW this works fine on 10.04 | 04:24 |
| mike024 | Guest71588: what is which passwd | 04:24 |
| maslo | is there such a thing as a backup cron that backups everything every hour or on demand and that you can revert your machine to that specify backup on demand? | 04:25 |
| maslo | not the whole hard drive but like packages / what not | 04:25 |
| Guest71588 | mike024 not sure what you mean | 04:25 |
| mike024 | maslo: look into snapshotting | 04:25 |
| pablo_ | o0Ubunite0o: there is 2 more options 'post-release-updates' and the 310-experimental. Do you recommend trying those? | 04:25 |
| mike024 | Guest71588: sorry :) please type in "which passwd" and tell me the output | 04:26 |
| Guest71588 | mike024 saids which not found | 04:27 |
| mike024 | Guest71588: how about try "/usb/bin/passwd" | 04:27 |
| mike024 | Guest71588: I'm grasping at straws right now | 04:27 |
| o0Ubunite0o | it won't hurt. if you find it not displaying, it should boot telling you it failed nad ask if you like to revert | 04:27 |
| o0Ubunite0o | pablo_, it won't hurt. if you find it not displaying, it should boot telling you it failed nad ask if you like to revert | 04:28 |
| Guest71588 | mike024 nothing found | 04:28 |
| o0Ubunite0o | pablo_, another option I'd suggest is adding the xteams ppa, but that's a last straw suggestion | 04:28 |

| mike024 | Guest71588: ikonia: he doesn't barely have any binaries... | 04:33 |
| mike024 | Guest71588: ikonia: something is going on and I'm a little lost. He doesn't have whoami passwd apt-get. I had him boot into single user, he is trying to reset his password | 04:33 |

| mike024 | amacidia: i don't believe your boot drive can be raid 5 | 04:35 |
| ikonia | just the /boot partition can't | 04:36 |
| Guest71588 | no i get the the gnome login and cant from there as i forgot the password | 04:36 |
| ikonia | it can | 04:36 |
| ikonia | Guest71588: can you boot into recovery mode ? | 04:36 |
| Guest71588 | it doesnt have a recovery kernal listed | 04:36 |
| ikonia | Guest71588: you'll have to try booting into single user mode then | 04:37 |
| === zoite_ is now known as zoite | ||
| ikonia | Guest71588: append the word "single" to the end of the kernel boot line in grub | 04:37 |

| ikonia | Guest71588: please do ls -la /usr/bin/passwd | 04:37 |
| Guest71588 | i did mike024 had me add single first and then remove ro quiet splash and add rw /init/bin/bash | 04:37 |
| Guest71588 | i did that and no such file or dir | 04:38 |
| ikonia | Guest71588: can you cd /usr/bin | 04:38 |
| Guest71588 | saids cd: 20 cant cd to /usr/bin | 04:39 |
| ikonia | Guest71588: can you cd /usr | 04:39 |
| Guest71588 | yes was able to do that | 04:39 |
| ikonia | I suspect your file systems are not getting mounted as you've set the init to bash, rather than the init process | 04:40 |
| ikonia | Guest71588: ok, ls -la bin | 04:40 |
| mike024 | Guest71588: Ikonia: rw /init/bin/bash should be rw init=/bin/bash I believe | 04:40 |
| shinn | hi guys, I think I've messed up the partition table on ubuntu during the installation of win8 | 04:40 |
| ikonia | mike024: I thought thats what you told him to do | 04:41 |
| ikonia | there should be no need for setting the init to bash | 04:41 |
| ikonia | singe should be enough to drop into a root shell on 6.06 | 04:41 |
| Guest71588 | ok ls -la bin no such file | 04:41 |
| MyCah | shinn how so | 04:41 |
| shinn | now my ubuntu partition become free space / unallocated, is there anyway to fix it? | 04:41 |
| mike024 | ikonia: there was an issue with just using single, but I can't remember what it was specifically, so we added that init= stuff | 04:41 |
| ikonia | Guest71588: look in /etc/fstab is there any reference to either /usr/bin or /usr | 04:42 |

| shinn | tried | 04:43 |
| MyCah | You can see your Ubuntu partition? | 04:43 |
| Guest71588 | i dont see that how can i get to it | 04:43 |

| shinn | MyCah: Yeah I tried it, I think it's now works | 04:49 |
| MyCah | The partition? Can you see it in Gpart? | 04:50 |
| shinn | I reboot and now I could see the partition | 04:50 |
| ikonia | Guest71588: mount your disk, remove the x from your useraccount in /etc/shadow, | 04:50 |
| MyCah | does it boot? | 04:50 |
| ikonia | Guest71588: or just mount the disk and pull the data off you want | 04:50 |
| shinn | gparted is terrible | 04:50 |
| shinn | it shows the disk unallocated. lol | 04:51 |
| Guest71588 | i would rather be able to get in after so i will let you know in a few mins where it is at | 04:51 |

| ElectricPrism | Q: Does anyone know how to specify a folder icon for a parent folder similar to how "Desktop.ini" does in Windows? I know you can set files to hidden in a ".hidden" file, is there a ".icons" file or the equivilent? | 04:57 |
| PJSingh5000 | ElectricPrism, right click on the folder. Select properties. Select the icon on the left and you can change it. | 04:57 |
| ElectricPrism | PJSingh5000: Do you know where that information is stored? I'd like to have the icon universal across Nautilus, and my multiple distros if posible | 04:58 |

| o0Ubunite0o | yea you could | 05:00 |
| o0Ubunite0o | pablo_, yea you could | 05:00 |
| ElectricPrism | PJSingh5000: Thanks for the suggestion, back to the wonderful world of understanding the Unix Filesystem for me ;) I'll assume it's a ~/. file and try google around | 05:00 |
| pablo_ | o0Ubunite0o: yes. However I have the impression that it won't get better that the new experimental-310 (the steam driver). | 05:00 |
| pablo_ | o0Ubunite0o: what do you think? | 05:01 |
| o0Ubunite0o | pablo_, I was also prompted once I installed steam to add that ppa. I've seen improvements, just not running dual screens on that box | 05:02 |
| o0Ubunite0o | <pablo_> o0Ubunite0o: there is 2 more options 'post-release-updates' and the 310-experimental. Do you recommend trying those? | 05:02 |

| ikonia | Guest71588: desktop | 05:04 |

| ikonia | Jeeves_Moss: Jeeves_Moss Hmm should come up fine | 05:59 |
| Jeeves_Moss | ikonia, lol, this is why I'm asking. It's something mindless I bet | 05:59 |
| Jeeves_Moss | ikonia, and when I take it down and back up, it refuses to take it's static | 06:00 |
| ikonia | Jeeves_Moss: trim it down, remove the interfaces apart from one | 06:01 |
| ikonia | then work fofward | 06:01 |
| Jeeves_Moss | tried that. when I remove all but the one, it works. when I add the second one, it refuses to add the second static | 06:02 |
| therealfrigg | anyone know why my processors won't work at the same time when converting movies but when i burn a dvd they work in sink above 90 percent? (when converting one is always above 90 and other like 10-20 and then they switch this way back and forth but never work together) | 06:02 |
| therealfrigg | sync* | 06:03 |
| ikonia | Jeeves_Moss: I suspect they are not the right interface names | 06:03 |
| Jeeves_Moss | therealfrigg, depends on the affinity you have set | 06:03 |
| ikonia | Jeeves_Moss: vmware normally doesn't use "real" interface names | 06:03 |
| Jeeves_Moss | ikonia, how do I get the interface names again? | 06:03 |
| ikonia | Jeeves_Moss: are you using vmware player ? workstation ? esx ? | 06:03 |
| therealfrigg | winff doesn't have option to use two processors. but bombono has the option to use both | 06:03 |
| Jeeves_Moss | ikonia, ESX3.5 | 06:03 |
| therealfrigg | Jeeves_Moss, does affinity mean preferences basically? | 06:04 |
| ikonia | Jeeves_Moss: this is the host right, not the guest ? | 06:04 |
| Jeeves_Moss | therealfrigg, what program are you using to convert it? | 06:04 |
| ikonia | as in your configuring it on the host, | 06:04 |
| therealfrigg | winff | 06:04 |
| Jeeves_Moss | ikonia, yes, the host is ESX3.5 | 06:04 |
| ikonia | Jeeves_Moss: no, I mean the 4 interfaces are the host, not the guest, right | 06:05 |
| Jeeves_Moss | ikonia, no, the host has 2 interfaces, and there are 5 virtual interfaces (192.168.1.x through 192.168.5.x) | 06:05 |
| ikonia | Jeeves_Moss: ok, so the pastebin's you are showing me, are they from the host or the guest | 06:06 |
| Jeeves_Moss | ikonia, guest | 06:06 |
| therealfrigg | Jeeves_Moss, would u know if i can find out some kind of file to edit winff to use two processors at the same time or would that be real difficult? | 06:06 |
| superfake123 | is there a current guide on how to build chromium? | 06:07 |
| ikonia | Jeeves_Moss: right, so that suggests to me they are not mapped through to the hosts addresss OR they are mapped through to the hosts addreses on the wrong network | 06:07 |
| Jeeves_Moss | therealfrigg, what encoding software are you using? | 06:07 |
| therealfrigg | Jeeves_Moss, winff and bombono to burn dvd | 06:07 |
| Jeeves_Moss | ikonia, they are mapped through to the gues the same way the Windwoz boxes are | 06:07 |

| therealfrigg | Jeeves_Moss, converting mp4 to NTSC DVD | 06:08 |
| ikonia | Jeeves_Moss: how can that be true as windows doesn't use eth interfaces | 06:08 |
| * therealfrigg acknowledges Jeeves_Moss as a popular guy | 06:08 | |
| Jeeves_Moss | ikonia, the interfaces show up in Windows on the proper subnet | 06:09 |
| Jeeves_Moss | therealfrigg, sorry man. quickly google your software and miltiprocessor | 06:09 |
| therealfrigg | yeah Jeeves_Moss thanks i will. just like talkin to the pro's in here for quick answers lol | 06:10 |
| ikonia | Jeeves_Moss: yes, but I'm suggesting they may not be mapped right on the linux machine | 06:10 |
| ikonia | Jeeves_Moss: that is a common reason for the interfaces to not come up | 06:10 |
| Jeeves_Moss | therealfrigg, sorry man, lots of software, few people on here. | 06:10 |
| Jeeves_Moss | ikonia, thanks. I'm just trying to figure this out. I have a physical box that I want virtual | 06:11 |
| therealfrigg | its all good. might chill in here in case some znc'ers come back | 06:11 |
| ikonia | Jeeves_Moss: I'm suggesting you've got eth1->eth2, when in reality it should be eth1->eth3 | 06:11 |
| ikonia | (for example) | 06:11 |
| superfake123 | is there a current guide on how to build chromium? | 06:11 |
| Jeeves_Moss | would be nice to know what the OS thinks it sees | 06:11 |
| pascal2 | g d gaz | 06:12 |
| ikonia | Jeeves_Moss: roll it back to 2 cards and work forward from there | 06:12 |
| therealfrigg | superfake123, what you tryin to do? cant add to repo's if not in your synaptic or other program? | 06:12 |
| Jeeves_Moss | ikonia, yea, tis the plan. once I get some more mooonshine in me | 06:12 |
| poz | allo allo, does anyone here know how to figure out what chip set my wireless card is? | 06:12 |
| superfake123 | I just wanna build the latest chromium from source since all the ppa are outdated | 06:12 |
| therealfrigg | superfake123, i see i thought they had a daily ppa | 06:13 |
| superfake123 | not that I am aware of | 06:13 |
| therealfrigg | ok. i would look quick anyway but my processors are workin hard on somethin right now | 06:13 |
| Jeeves_Moss | poz, lsusb | 06:13 |
| ikonia | that won't sohw it | 06:14 |
| therealfrigg | superfake123, i have done from source but i usually just look at the instructions included on the websites cause i dont like messin around with it that way. i just get the most up to date ppa's myself. sorry man | 06:14 |
| ikonia | therealfrigg: why are you doing this ? | 06:14 |
| therealfrigg | doin what? | 06:14 |
| ikonia | therealfrigg: you do realise the risk you are running ? | 06:15 |
| therealfrigg | what are you talkin about ikonia | 06:15 |
| ikonia | therealfrigg: sorry meant superfake123 | 06:15 |
| Jeeves_Moss | poz, take the output of the ids and google it | 06:15 |
| therealfrigg | ok | 06:15 |
| superfake123 | ikonia, the latest official ppa build is from 9 months ago. i just need something current that can be trusted etc | 06:16 |
| ikonia | superfake123: why ? | 06:16 |
| ikonia | superfake123: what can't be trusted, | 06:16 |
| ikonia | what's in the current build that you need ? | 06:16 |
| ikonia | what is it you "need" that you don't have now ? | 06:16 |
| superfake123 | ikonia, I just need to be able to test the latest stable channel of chromium which is 23.x | 06:17 |
| therealfrigg | superfake123, the most recent ppa you can find is best anyway cause it is stable. i understand you feel like you want the most up to date software but a few months won't matter much even if it is 9. i mean each time it is updated, do we really see drastic changes in interface or anything else. not really | 06:17 |
| ikonia | superfake123: why ? | 06:17 |
| therealfrigg | drastic changes prob happen at least 1 time a year | 06:17 |
| ikonia | what is it you "need" that you don't have now ? | 06:17 |
| therealfrigg | superfake123, i see. gonna see what my chromium version is from my stable repo of wattos | 06:18 |
| superfake123 | there are been a ton of changes since 18.0 and the latest which is 26.0 | 06:18 |
| ikonia | what is it you "need" that you don't have now ? | 06:18 |
| superfake123 | everything | 06:18 |
| superfake123 | i need 26.0 lol | 06:19 |
| ikonia | such as ? | 06:19 |
| ikonia | what is it you "need" that you don't have now ? | 06:19 |
| therealfrigg | superfake123, i am runnin Version 20.0.1132.47 lol. few steps behind but i dont care | 06:19 |
| therealfrigg | superfake123, you just want to have the most updated version thinkin that it is best right? | 06:20 |
| superfake123 | no | 06:20 |
| superfake123 | just need to say I've tested it on said version | 06:20 |
| therealfrigg | superfake123, just for gui changes or stability? cause mine is stable and what hits the repos is usually the most stable or else it would of been added | 06:20 |
| superfake123 | latest or 25.0 24.0 etc | 06:20 |
| ikonia | superfake123: say to who ? | 06:21 |
| therealfrigg | oh i see superfake123 you just want to review it | 06:21 |
| ikonia | superfake123: who do you need to tell you've tested the latest version ? | 06:21 |
| superfake123 | they've said they have stopped the ppa but it has nothign to do with what they build last was most stable | 06:21 |
| superfake123 | there is just no one to do new builds or something? i dono | 06:21 |
| ikonia | superfake123: who do you need to tell you've tested the latest version ? | 06:22 |
| superfake123 | my boss | 06:22 |
| therealfrigg | superfake123, have u checked for a chromium support channel since no one here wants to talk about from source? | 06:22 |
| ikonia | superfake123: really....your boss | 06:22 |
| ikonia | sorry, I'm not buying this, I'm out | 06:22 |
| superfake123 | yeah you're not helping anyway | 06:22 |
| therealfrigg | i like my system stable so i do nothing from source except if i HAVE to play a game. like warzone 3.1rc3 it is bad ass | 06:22 |
| superfake123 | what chan shoudl I go to for help on building from source on ubuntu | 06:23 |
| therealfrigg | superfake123, if its for work man just cheat and don't copy word for word but look at a FEW reviews and write your own like the old saying "lets just say we did...and dont tell nobody lol" | 06:24 |
| therealfrigg | lol^ of course the lol isn't in " " | 06:24 |
| superfake123 | this is ubuntu though? open source blah blah blah how hard is it to build something from source lol | 06:24 |
| therealfrigg | it is not superfake123 people in irc just dont always talk they sit there and watch cuz they feel like it for some reason or they are gone/idle | 06:25 |
| therealfrigg | and i dont do stuff from source except games. i can give u a site to show u an idea of simple compiling and the programs needed to paste into terminal. hold on. | 06:25 |
| ikonia | superfake123: if you are going to do a valid test case you should not be compiling the platform / test app unless you fully understand it | 06:26 |
| ikonia | superfake123: and as you are asking how to do that - that suggests you doing, which will invalidate your test case | 06:27 |
| ikonia | superfake123: I suggest telling your boss it would be an invalid test | 06:27 |
| ikonia | or you could tell us the real reason you want to do this | 06:27 |
| therealfrigg | superfake123, http://developer.wz2100.net/wiki/CompileGuideLinux go here and copy and paste those programs in your terminal as long as all in your repo's and wa la. you are ready. just substitute the steps and you should be alright | 06:27 |
| ikonia | that is a terrible guide | 06:28 |
| ikonia | blindly typing configure && make is crazy | 06:28 |
| ikonia | do not do that | 06:28 |
| superfake123 | yeah those are gonna be the deps for a wargame? lol | 06:28 |
| therealfrigg | ikonia, ok. if it is that bad then ok. but that does include the programs he needs | 06:28 |
| therealfrigg | most all of them | 06:28 |
| superfake123 | i need deps for chromium | 06:28 |
| ikonia | therealfrigg: no it doesn't | 06:28 |
| ikonia | therealfrigg: that includes random dependencies for another application | 06:28 |
| mint | exit | 06:29 |
| mint | ops | 06:29 |
| therealfrigg | ikonia, ok. i will admittedly say i dont know all that about compiling as i did above. | 06:29 |
| superfake123 | ikonia, if you go here https://launchpad.net/~chromium-daily/+archive/ppa it says This PPA is temporarily on hold until we fix some technical issues. | 06:29 |
| superfake123 | ikonia, its been on hold for 8 months so now i wanna build it myself | 06:29 |
| ikonia | why ? | 06:30 |
| ikonia | what's the real reason/issue ? | 06:30 |
| ikonia | do you just want a bigger version number or is there something you actually want | 06:30 |
| superfake123 | that I need to build the latest? | 06:30 |
| ikonia | why ??? why do you need to build the latest, what's the driver ? | 06:30 |
| superfake123 | there have been so many changes since 18.0 | 06:30 |
| ikonia | superfake123: but what do you need ? | 06:30 |
| superfake123 | all of the changes since 18.0 | 06:30 |
| superfake123 | lol | 06:30 |
| ikonia | this is pointless | 06:30 |
| ikonia | you're chasing a version number | 06:31 |
| ikonia | if you can't even name one thing out of the version changes that you need/want you're chasing a version number and I'm not being part of that | 06:31 |
| === SierraAR is now known as Sierr[a]AR | ||
| superfake123 | so what you are saying is. they went from 18.0 to 26.0 without changing anything that really matters? | 06:32 |
| superfake123 | and forget anything above 18.0 because I should just stick with 18.0 | 06:32 |
| ikonia | superfake123: what I'm saying is if you have no idea what's changed or the implications, and you have no idea how to build it, you should not be doing it, and should be trusting the version you have | 06:34 |
| ikonia | and not making up stories about your boss needing you to test it | 06:35 |
| superfake123 | i'm asking for help to build it, i'm getting errors that I don't know how to fix | 06:35 |
| ikonia | so that you can actually get some sane advice | 06:35 |
| ikonia | and just being honest that you're chasing a version number | 06:35 |
| superfake123 | I use firefox i hate chromium lol | 06:35 |
| ikonia | superfake123: yes, I understand that, but you're building this for no reason other than "I want a bigger version number" or any research into what that bigger version number means | 06:35 |

| mvt007geek | deper29: i am not so familiar with dd.i just did like that website. | 07:34 |
| deper29 | mvt007geek: first, gunzip ubuntu-11.10-preinstalled-desktop-armel+omap4.img.gz | 07:34 |
| deper29 | or whatever the file is called | 07:34 |
| milamber | ner0x: can you pastebin what the crash handler is trying to send? | 07:34 |
| Supercomp | how to prevent passwords appearing in Passwords and encryption keys | 07:34 |
| deper29 | if you look in your directory after, you will see that you have a .img file | 07:34 |
| mvt007geek | deper29: ok.what should i do next? | 07:35 |
| deper29 | then, you want to do 'sudo dd bs=4M if=/path/to/your/.img of=/dev/sdX where X is b in your case. be *very* careful with this command | 07:35 |
| deper29 | make sure sdb is your usb or cd or something, and not your current drive that you are booted from or a windows partition or something | 07:36 |
| ner0x | milamber: I sure can. http://pastebin.com/0hishFfS | 07:36 |
| mvt007geek | deper29: all my partiions are sda. but shouldn't i copy image into sdcard then do all of these things you said? | 07:37 |
| deper29 | mvt007geek: no | 07:38 |
| deper29 | you are trying to make a bootable image, yes? | 07:38 |
| mvt007geek | yes i think :) | 07:38 |
| milamber | ner0x: and just for the sake of asking it, how are you handling flash? | 07:38 |
| ner0x | milamber: flashplayer-plugin I would assume. Nothing past the norm. | 07:39 |
| deper29 | mvt007geek: make sure your sdcard is unmounted then | 07:39 |
| deper29 | and after that, just execute the command I gave you | 07:39 |
| deper29 | it will write the image to your sdcard | 07:39 |
| deper29 | and make it bootable | 07:39 |
| milamber | ner0x: can you do a firefox --debug with gdb? | 07:40 |
| mvt007geek | deper29: ok. i will do it.:) | 07:40 |
| ner0x | milamber: To be honest, I'm just going to switch over to chromium for the testing. | 07:40 |
| ner0x | milamber: I do appreciate your help though. (Just don't want to spend any real time on this since it's not a priority #1) | 07:41 |
| milamber | ner0x: fair enough, good computing | 07:41 |
| ner0x | milamber: Likewise. Thanks. | 07:41 |
| milamber | mvt007geek: just for the sake of saying it, there are often additional, complicated setting for having machines boot the sd card. be prepared for that to be a potential issue (unless you have already researched it for your specific system) | 07:43 |
| krishna_ | can anyone tell me how to register ubuntu system | 07:44 |
| krishna_ | ?? | 07:44 |
| krishna_ | and how to raise the ticket in ubuntu?? | 07:45 |
| milamber | krishna_: what do you mean register ubuntu system? | 07:45 |
| milamber | !bug | krishna_ | 07:45 |
| ubottu | krishna_: If you find a bug in Ubuntu or any of its derivatives, please file a bug using the command « ubuntu-bug <package> » - See https://help.ubuntu.com/community/ReportingBugs for other ways to report bugs. | 07:45 |
| krishna_ | just like...registering redhat system with rhn..and how we will get the support of ubuntu | 07:46 |
| Jordan_U | krishna_: Do you want paid support? | 07:46 |
| krishna_ | yes | 07:46 |
| === goatse_cx is now known as _JKL1234-_ | ||
| Jordan_U | krishna_: You can get that through Canonical, http://www.canonical.com/ . | 07:47 |
| Nordom | to get a vm to work on another drive ur first need to install the os to the drive right? | 07:48 |
| krishna_ | that is ok..one of my client want to take a support from ubuntu..for some query..then how we will reach the ubuntu without registering the system..bcoz i m new in ubuntu | 07:48 |
| thoonai | hey, since 11.10 im regurlarly having failing installations from alternate media. whats happening with ubuntu alternate? | 07:49 |
| Jordan_U | Nordom: I don't understand the question, could you please rephrase it? | 07:49 |
| Nordom | I want to get a vm working, and I have a new hard drive, do I need to install windows on it first before I make it vm? | 07:50 |
| avinash | hai krishna | 07:50 |
| Jordan_U | thoonai: Well, with Ubuntu 12.10 there is technically no longer any alternate install media (though the netinstall iso uses Debian Installer). | 07:50 |
| krishna_ | hi avinash | 07:51 |
| Jordan_U | Nordom: VM meaning virtual machine? | 07:51 |
| Nordom | jordan_U correct | 07:51 |
| avinash | how are you krishna | 07:51 |
| avinash | i am new to ubuntu | 07:51 |
| avinash | you from andhra? | 07:51 |
| thoonai | Jordan_U: ok | 07:52 |
| Jordan_U | Nordom: I still don't understand the question. Do you understand the difference between a "host" OS and a "guest" OS? | 07:52 |
| krishna_ | no avinash..i m from rajashthan | 07:52 |
| avinash | is this a chat room? | 07:52 |
| mvt007geek | deper29: i did the first step.that was successful.now i am doing root@debian:/home/ossl2/Downloads# sudo dd bs=4M if=ubuntu-11.10-preinstalled-desktop-armel+omap4.img of=/dev/sdb | 07:52 |
| mvt007geek | is sometjhing bad happend because it's a long time nothing happend | 07:53 |
| Jordan_U | avinash: In that IRC stands for Internet Relay Chat, yes. But it's only for Ubuntu support related discussion, not for general chatting ( #ubuntu-offtopic is a great channel for that ). | 07:53 |
| avinash | what is gnome? | 07:53 |
| avinash | is it a shell? | 07:53 |
| Jordan_U | mvt007geek: That is expected to take a long time, and give no output (unless you send dd a signal to print its current progress). | 07:54 |
| mvt007geek | Jordan_U: so there is no problem yes? :) | 07:54 |
| Nordom | jordan_u no I dont | 07:55 |
| Jordan_U | mvt007geek: There is no problem. And if you run "sudo pkill -USR1 dd" then dd should print out how far along it is. | 07:55 |
| Jordan_U | mvt007geek: (run that in another terminal that is) | 07:56 |
| deper29 | mvt007geek: takes a while, just wait | 07:58 |
| deper29 | and if you are root, you don't need to sudo | 07:58 |
| mvt007geek | i did that. :p will it make problem? | 07:59 |
| Jordan_U | Nordom: OK. Let's say that I take a real physical computer and install Ubuntu on it. So far we have no virtual machines. | 07:59 |
| helmut_ | hi | 07:59 |
| deper29 | mvt007geek: no, it shouldn't | 07:59 |
| Nordom | jordan_u I am following u | 07:59 |
| mvt007geek | Jordan_U: i did pkill -USR1 dd | 08:00 |
| Jordan_U | Nordom: If I then install VirtualBox (a piece of virtualization software) in that Ubuntu installation, and create a new virtual machine, then my Ubuntu installation is considered a "host OS", it's running on the actual hardware and hosting one or more virtual machines. | 08:00 |
| mvt007geek | nothing happend | 08:00 |
| Jordan_U | mvt007geek: Look at the terminal that you ran the dd command in. It's dd that actually prints the update, not pkill. | 08:01 |
| Nordom | Jordan_U: I am still following, and have understood vms work this way | 08:02 |
| mvt007geek | u told me do that. and i did sudo pkill -USR1 dd" what exactly this command do? | 08:02 |
| Jordan_U | Nordom: If I install Windows in one of those virtual machines, then that Windows installation is a "guest OS", it's not running on the real hardware. | 08:02 |
| Nordom | Jordan_U: I understand this as well | 08:03 |
| Jordan_U | mvt007geek: It sends a signal of type USR1 to all processes whose name matches the pattern "dd". | 08:03 |
| deper29 | mvt007geek: you have to restart now | 08:03 |
| deper29 | that killed the process | 08:03 |
| deper29 | has anyone here played with xmonad at all? | 08:04 |
| Jordan_U | Nordom: OK. If you want to store a virtual machine on an external hard drive you can simply copy over the virtual drive (which will be a file or a set of files, depending on what virtual machine software you're using). | 08:05 |
| mvt007geek | jordan_u so you killed my process?!!! | 08:05 |
| Jordan_U | mvt007geek: No. | 08:05 |
| Nordom | Jordan_U: the other day I had someone help me install a windows vm using virtual box, I wanted the vm to use the same data as my real windows partition... unfortunately it didnt work because ubuntu and windows where on the same hard drive... I would still like to do this, but wonder if I need windows installed on it first | 08:06 |
| deper29 | mvt007geek: my bad, i'm an idiot. should still be running | 08:06 |
| deper29 | apologies | 08:06 |
| Jordan_U | mvt007geek: kill and pkill are poorly named utilities, they are utilities that send signals to processes. The most commonly used signals happen to be SIGTERM and SIGKILL which will kill the process (one nicely, the other forcefully), but there are other signals (like USR1) that do other things. | 08:07 |
| Nordom | Jordan_U: if this type of setup is impossible do to the nature of a VM, then all I need to do is format the new drive and then use virtualbox to install a windows vm on that new drive? I am currently not using any vms on this machine | 08:07 |
| mvt007geek | deper29: oh.no matter my friend.take it easy :) | 08:08 |
| mvt007geek | jordan_u thanks. i learnt something new today | 08:08 |
| thoonai | help :) i need help to read my log, anybody willing to help? | 08:08 |
| nydel | thoonai: what log is that? | 08:09 |
| deper29 | thoonai: where is your log? | 08:09 |
| Jordan_U | Nordom: OK, so you had a Windows installation that was being used both as an OS running on the bare metal, and as a guest OS running under virtualbox, correct? | 08:09 |
| thoonai | http://pastebin.com/adGSM15p | 08:10 |
| thoonai | thx nydel deper29 | 08:10 |
| thoonai | at the very end .... | 08:11 |
| mvt007geek | here is the final of that commans . at last : :D http://paste.ubuntu.com/1461364/ | 08:12 |
| Jordan_U | mvt007geek: You're welcome. | 08:12 |
| Nordom | Jordan_U: I had that yet, but I wasn't able to use the REAL windows OS's data in my GUEST windows OS vm, because they were on the same hard drive. I would still like to do this, and bought a new hard drive for this perpose and wondering in order to do this type of setup what my first step should be. All I have is a empty drive atm. I the windows that is located on the same drive as my ubuntu parti | 08:13 |
| sexxxy | what does this crontab mean? 0 23 1 * * | 08:13 |
| Nordom | partition will stay, but I will delete it after I can get the new hard drive with windows installed on it work as a VM / Host OS | 08:13 |
| thoonai | sexxxy: every day marked as '1' at the hour '23' every week and month the job eill be executed | 08:15 |
| sexxxy | thoonai, I want something to run every month only once | 08:15 |
| sexxxy | thoonai, can you give me an example of that? | 08:16 |
| Jordan_U | Nordom: OK, and you still want to be able to use the same Windows installation as either a guest OS or a "host OS" (or bare metal OS, as it's technically not a host OS unless there are virtual machines running under it). | 08:16 |
| Jordan_U | Nordom: ? | 08:16 |
| Nordom | jordan_U correct | 08:16 |
| Nordom | Jordan_U: and I am asking what should be my first step | 08:17 |
| thoonai | then it should look like 0 0 1 * * 'command' | 08:18 |
| thoonai | sexxxy: then it should look like 0 0 1 * * 'command' | 08:18 |
| sexxxy | thoonai, mine looks like that? | 08:18 |
| sexxxy | what do you mean by every week? | 08:18 |
| Jordan_U | Nordom: OK, I'm getting closer to understanding your situation but there are still some things that aren't clear. Did your friend make a virtual machine from this "bare metal" Windows installation by creating a virtual drive and copying the data from the partition over, or is he having VirtualBox actually use the partition? (both are possible) | 08:18 |
| thoonai | sexxxy: just type @monthly :) | 08:19 |
| sexxxy | thoonai, will it run at 12 at night? | 08:19 |
| Nordom | Jordan_U: It was just some guy from the vbox channel, I am not sure which he tried, but I am guessing it was having Virtualbox use the paritition since there wasn't any copying | 08:20 |
| thoonai | sexxxy: it should | 08:20 |
| jimmacdonald | help, having difficulty updating in Ocelot. | 08:20 |
| mvt007geek | deper29: i did those 2 steps.as i see here http://pharos.ece.utexas.edu/wiki/index.php/How_to_Install_Ubuntu_on_the_Panda_Board i should remove Sd card.shouldn't i copy the image into sd card before removing it? | 08:20 |
| deper29 | mvt007geek: dd wrote it to the sdcard | 08:20 |
| jimmacdonald | keep getting a duplicate sources.list entry error, even though there is now duplicate entry. | 08:20 |
| Jordan_U | jimmacdonald: Did you check all of the files in /etc/apt/sources.list.d/ ? | 08:23 |
| Name141 | does the 64 bit version of ubuntu use more RAM than the 32 bit version? | 08:26 |
| Nordom | Jordan_U: Did this answer your question? | 08:26 |
| jimmacdonald | Jordan_U: here's the error | 08:27 |
| Jordan_U | Nordom: Yes. | 08:27 |
| jimmacdonald | : Duplicate sources.list entry http://archive.canonical.com/ubuntu/ precise/partner i386 Packages (/var/lib/apt/lists/archive.canonical.com_ubuntu_dists_precise_partner_binary-i386_Packages) | 08:27 |
| Nordom | Jordan_U: do you have any suggestions or a guide that I could follow to make this happen? | 08:27 |
| jimmacdonald | based on that I did a find /var/lib/apt/lists -name precise_partner -delete | 08:27 |
| RishabhTatiraju | Hi | 08:27 |
| RishabhTatiraju | Wanna know one thing | 08:27 |
| Name141 | or is there any other reason I'd want to run the 32bit version over the 64 bit one? | 08:27 |
| RishabhTatiraju | Does "Install Over Win7" format all my partitions? | 08:28 |
| RishabhTatiraju | or doesit only format the windows partition? | 08:28 |
| Nordom | Name141: 32bit if your cpu doesnt support 64,otherwise 64 is the better option | 08:28 |
| milamber | Name141: define "use" more ram | 08:28 |
| milamber | Name141: how much ram do you have in your system? | 08:28 |
| RishabhTatiraju | pls help | 08:29 |
| Jordan_U | Nordom: If it's the same partition when being run bare metal and as a guest, the by definition it‘s the same data. So I still don't understand the question / problem. | 08:29 |
| milamber | RishabhTatiraju: yes, that would reformat everything, including the win recovery partition | 08:29 |
| RishabhTatiraju | So all my 3 partitions will go? | 08:29 |
| milamber | RishabhTatiraju: if you want to dual boot there should be an "intall alongside" option | 08:29 |
| Name141 | milamber: 2 GBs. "use more RAM like Windows 7 64bit 'used' more RAM than the 32bit doing 'nothing'" | 08:29 |
| mvt007geek | deper29: i did all of those 2 steps .before do it was like this : http://paste.ubuntu.com/1461388/ and after doing them it's like this : http://paste.ubuntu.com/1461389/ | 08:30 |
| mvt007geek | am i dod it right? | 08:30 |
| mvt007geek | *did | 08:30 |
| Nordom | Jordan_U: can this be done if the windows parition and ubuntu parition are on the same drive? | 08:30 |
| milamber | Name141: the reason i asked is that for greater than four gigs of ram, if you want to use the 32 bit os and more ram, you have to have a specific kernel type | 08:30 |
| milamber | Name141: that being said, the 32 bit will probably be your best bet | 08:31 |
| Jordan_U | Nordom: Yes. | 08:31 |
| Nordom | milamber: Name141: correction 32bit can only use 3.5ish gigs of ram | 08:31 |
| Name141 | milamber: So even in linux, 64bit uses more RAM doing diddly squat ? | 08:31 |
| Nordom | Name141: 64 bit doesnt use more ram, it allows more ACCESS to ram, and basically lets your 64 chipset run at full power.... if u have a 32bit chipset then you cannot run 64 bit os anyways | 08:32 |
| Jordan_U | Nordom: The only thing I'm almost certain of at the moment is that you didn't need to buy another drive. Hopefully you still have use for it or can return it. | 08:32 |
| milamber | Name141: there are a lot of variables there, including what services you are running. if resource usage is something you are particularly concerned about, you may want to look at xubuntu or lubuntu | 08:32 |
| Name141 | Nordom: It's an E2160 CPU | 08:32 |
| Nordom | Jordan_U: it not aproblem I can always use a nother drive ;) | 08:32 |
| Nordom | Name141: according to google ur chip is 64 bit compatatible... but you really dont need 64 bit unless you are upgrading your ram | 08:34 |
| Jordan_U | Nordom: Now that you know that, is there more you have questions about? | 08:34 |
| Name141 | Nordom: I'm not buying DDR2 RAM , no. | 08:34 |
| thoonai | Name141: why? | 08:35 |
| RishabhTatiraju | Well, my installation is stuck at Acquiring File 31 of 81 | 08:35 |
| Name141 | thoonai: It's an older system. | 08:35 |
| thoonai | ok | 08:35 |
| Nordom | Jordan_U: You wouldnt know how I could set it up? I tried google guides but apparently they are out of date | 08:35 |
| Name141 | Anyway, I wouldn't see any benefit from the 64bit version ? | 08:35 |
| Jordan_U | Name141: Some things will run faster. | 08:36 |
| msh | Hi every body.i have ubuntu 12.04 with firefox 17.0.1 and i have a problem to run flash sites , Can any body help me please.???? | 08:36 |
| Nordom | Name141: there are benefits but I doubt you'd care... the biggest benifit would be the ram. To you the rest would be pretty small benefits in comparison | 08:37 |
| thoonai | msh: tried installing flash? | 08:37 |

| thoonai | msh: I must go im sorry hope youll find a solution | 08:40 |
| milamber | msh: did you restart the browser? | 08:40 |
| msh | thoonai, thanks bye | 08:41 |
| Name141 | Nordom: I might as well just download the 64 bit one and run with it I guess. | 08:41 |
| msh | milamber, hi , yes i restart my whole system several times but it didn't fix. | 08:42 |
| milamber | msh: so after you installed the flash plugin you have restarted the browser? | 08:42 |
| Valk0010 | Hey anybody around that could answer a question for me | 08:44 |
| msh | milamber, yes i try. thank you so much. | 08:44 |
| milamber | !ask | Valk0010 | 08:44 |
| ubottu | Valk0010: 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 | 08:44 |
| Valk0010 | I just recently read the ubuntu site, and it said, that ubuntu is compatible with microsoft office | 08:44 |
| Valk0010 | and I am wondering what they mean by that | 08:45 |
| milamber | msh: then can you pastebin the output of: dpkg -l | grep flash | 08:45 |
| Valk0010 | sorry about, the heavy use of enter and the hesistance, its like 4 am where i live so I wasn't sure if anyone was around | 08:45 |
| msh | milamber, oh yes i remember that i didn't restart my browser. | 08:46 |
| Name141 | that they have Libreoffice probably | 08:46 |
| milamber | Valk0010: the default office suit in ubuntu (libreoffice) is able to open and edit microsoft documents | 08:46 |
| Valk0010 | well the reason i was shocked, was they had the office symbols like word and everything | 08:47 |
| RishabhTatiraju | Hi, need ugent help now | 08:47 |
| milamber | Valk0010: be weary; however, medium to complex edits don't translate perfectly | 08:47 |
| RishabhTatiraju | My monitor says "Input not in range" | 08:47 |
| Jordan_U | Valk0010: You can also run some versions of Microsoft Word via wine, but I'm pretty sure that's not what they were referring to. | 08:47 |
| Valk0010 | yeah its one of the reasons I am thinking about going back to windows | 08:48 |
| Valk0010 | I am thinking about heading back to college, and I don't need compatability headaches | 08:48 |
| Artemis3 | you could simply use a virtual machine and use real windows with it | 08:48 |
| Valk0010 | the virtual machine thing | 08:48 |
| Valk0010 | how would you recommend going about doing that | 08:49 |
| aeon-ltd | Valk0010: vbox | 08:49 |
| Valk0010 | I tried that, and could never get it to work | 08:49 |
| Artemis3 | install a clean windows only with the must have packages, such as office | 08:49 |
| Valk0010 | dunno why | 08:49 |
| milamber | Valk0010: i just finished my master's using only linux. everything that you will need to open you will be able to. (the formatting just might not be perfect). whenever i had to turn anything in i just submitted via pdf | 08:49 |
| Artemis3 | in that case your virtual machine is only "just in case" | 08:50 |
| milamber | Valk0010: so unless you are going to be in a major that requires some sort of windows-only software, i would say you don't have to switch back | 08:50 |
| Valk0010 | yeah I didn't have many problems in high school when I used linux | 08:50 |
| Valk0010 | mostly cause I only did very basic stuff | 08:50 |
| msh | milamber, The output of your command is : ii flashplugin-installer 11.2.202.258ubuntu0.12.04.1 Adobe Flash Player plugin installer | 08:50 |
| Valk0010 | yeah I probably shouldn't worry about it | 08:51 |
| milamber | msh: the last comment you made was that you had not restarted the browser. have you since restarted it? and if you haven't, just for the sake of it, please restart the browser | 08:51 |
| Valk0010 | I love ubuntu | 08:51 |
| milamber | bug 1 :) | 08:51 |

| RishabhTatiraju | I am trying to reinstall Ubuntu | 08:53 |
| Valk0010 | ever thought about, downloading darik nuke and boot | 08:54 |

| Valk0010 | and then after that reinstalling ubuntu | 08:54 |
| Valk0010 | darik nuke and boot will totally wipe your harddrive clean of everything | 08:54 |
| milamber | RishabhTatiraju: 1.) did you abort your initial installation? 2.) did you verify the install media before you used it 3.) do you have access to another machine to download another iso? | 08:54 |
| Valk0010 | which will allow ubuntu to install everything you need | 08:54 |
| RishabhTatiraju | milamber, it was stuck up in Reading data 31 of 81 for 30 minutes so i clicked skip | 08:55 |

| milamber | RishabhTatiraju: are you able to boot to the install media? | 08:56 |
| RishabhTatiraju | I was able to before. Not now, milamber | 08:57 |
| milamber | RishabhTatiraju: that's odd. what is happening now? | 08:57 |
| milamber | RishabhTatiraju: and did you try to manually configure anything for the install? | 08:57 |
| RishabhTatiraju | After i skipped the file | 08:57 |
| milamber | RishabhTatiraju: and how old is the machine you are doing this on | 08:57 |
| RishabhTatiraju | milamber, 6 years old | 08:58 |
| RishabhTatiraju | it ran 11.04 before | 08:58 |
| RishabhTatiraju | then i switched to Win 7 | 08:58 |
| milamber | RishabhTatiraju: ok, so what happens when you try to boot to the media now? | 08:58 |
| RishabhTatiraju | So, when i skipped the file, it took a few moments and it said installation successful | 08:59 |
| RishabhTatiraju | Nothing | 08:59 |
| RishabhTatiraju | It just shows a blinking "_" | 08:59 |
| milamber | RishabhTatiraju: at this point, i would recommend downloading the alternate installer, verifying the media, and then trying that | 09:00 |
| RishabhTatiraju | Okay ... Well what about the ISO file that i have | 09:00 |
| Jordan_U | RishabhTatiraju: Do you see anything other than input out of range if you hold shift during boot? | 09:00 |

| msh | milamber, first thank you for your Patience to answer and second i restarted my firefox but my problem resists. | 09:02 |
| milamber | msh: are you using 32 or 64 bit? | 09:03 |
| msh | milamber, ubuntu 32 bit but my computer is 64 bit | 09:04 |
| RishabhTatiraju | milamber, it seems that it has booted. | 09:04 |
| RishabhTatiraju | Can i install and repair ubuntu if possible? | 09:05 |
| Jordan_U | RishabhTatiraju: And when you try to boot from the drive that you booted from to install Ubuntu, you just get a blinking cursor? | 09:05 |
| RishabhTatiraju | Jordan_U, if you leave it for a while Ubuntu boots up | 09:05 |
| RishabhTatiraju | but i am sure my setup is incompletely installed | 09:05 |
| RishabhTatiraju | Is there any online repair option? | 09:05 |
| Jordan_U | RishabhTatiraju: No, I don't think that it is at all. | 09:06 |
| milamber | msh: sudo apt-get install ubuntu-restricted-extras | 09:06 |
| Jordan_U | RishabhTatiraju: Please pastebin the contents of /etc/default/grub (if you don't know how to do that, I can go into more detail). | 09:07 |

| PyroNoob | Could someone help me installing Sun's version of Java?... | 09:08 |
| milamber | !java | PyroNoob | 09:08 |
| ubottu | PyroNoob: To just use java you need a "Java Runtime Environment" (JRE) and/or a browser plugin. If that is not sufficient you will need a "Java Development Kit" (JDK) aka "Software Development Kit" (SDK). Please see https://help.ubuntu.com/community/Java about how to install one of three current implementations. | 09:08 |
| shaokc | how to use compiz in ubuntu12.10? | 09:11 |
| penguinman | compiz is the window manager unity uses by default | 09:11 |
| penguinman | so you're using it already :) | 09:12 |
| Jordan_U | RishabhTatiraju: http://pastebin.ubuntu.com is a service that allows you to paste large amounts of text and then share a link to that text here so that you don't flood the channel. We're going to edit the file /etc/default/grub , which is a system file and thus you need to be root to edit it. To open /etc/default/grub as root run "gksudo gedit /etc/default/grub" in a terminal and it will open a window in a text editor with the ... | 09:12 |

| RishabhTatiraju | The disc boots now. Magical! | 09:13 |
| RishabhTatiraju | I am planning to completely reinstall everything | 09:13 |
| Jordan_U | RishabhTatiraju: No need to re-install. | 09:13 |
| Jordan_U | RishabhTatiraju: Your installation completed successfully. The problem you're having is specific to your hardware. | 09:14 |
| RishabhTatiraju | I lost my partitions which i need | 09:14 |
| RishabhTatiraju | Jordan_U | 09:14 |
| RishabhTatiraju | i skipped installation files while in the previous installation | 09:14 |
| RishabhTatiraju | Language files are missing | 09:14 |
| RishabhTatiraju | Fie System cannot be accessed | 09:14 |
| Jordan_U | RishabhTatiraju: What file system can't be accessed? I'm going to sleep soon, so I probably won't be here when your new installation is finished. You'll want to comment out the line "#GRUB_TERMINAL=console" in /etc/default/grub to be able to see output on the screen during boot. Someone else here should be able to help you do that if you tell them that that's exactly what you want to do. | 09:16 |

| ubottu | ctsck: 如欲獲得中文的協助，請輸入 /join #ubuntu-cn 或 /join #ubuntu-tw | 09:28 |
| milamber | RishabhTatiraju: let the installer do it automatically and if you decide you want to install windows again, you can shrink that partition | 09:28 |
| RishabhTatiraju | The installer makes it to 1 large partition | 09:29 |
| milamber | RishabhTatiraju: it seems like a waste to have an empty partition just in case, and ubuntu will probably create several smaller partitions | 09:29 |
| milamber | RishabhTatiraju: i doubt it, it will use the whole disk, but it will create several partitions | 09:29 |

| kylescottmcgill | Yeah, im still not sure what your trying to do, the commands that are sent are things like 86 or 45 etc, the keys you press will never run a command, for the keys that are pressed the default application is launched, if you have some other special keys that dont do anything, they you will need to find the drivers for them, i have a Razer Black Widow 2013, with 5 Macro Keys on the side, that do nothing, because there are no Linux drivers for it, | 11:17 |
| kylescottmcgill | then you will need to find** | 11:17 |
| cristian_c | kylescottmcgill, but a keys pressed run an action | 11:17 |

| bakery | Hi, could I ask a question about OpenVPN and public PP2P VPNs? | 12:05 |
| * cfhowlett watches riqdiiz/rreina with great interest | 12:05 | |
| bakery | I'm wondering if I tunnel an OpenVPN SSH through a public PP2P VPN | 12:06 |
| bakery | is that a secure connection? | 12:06 |
| riqdiiz | rreina sound properties. | 12:06 |
| rreina | riqdiiz I have rear microphone front microphone and webcam microphone | 12:08 |
| rreina | riqdiiz webcam and front is mutted and read is ok at 100% and captures all the sound | 12:08 |
| rreina | rizdiiz are* | 12:08 |
| rreina | riqdiiz rear microphone is selected as default | 12:09 |
| riqdiiz | let them not share i/o . | 12:11 |
| rreina | riqdiiz something more? | 12:13 |
| rreina | riqdiiz anything else? | 12:13 |
| riqdiiz | or else check your wiring system. | 12:14 |
| tomreyn | bakery: as long as you are using OpenVPN properly, you can tunnel any network and it should still be secure. | 12:15 |
| riqdiiz | try different conference gadgets. | 12:16 |
| bakery | ah, thank you | 12:16 |
| bakery | just to check details: | 12:16 |
| bakery | direct connection to PP2P service | 12:16 |
| bakery | then run the OpenVPN connection through the PP2P | 12:16 |
| bakery | that's okay, right? The PP2P service can't eavesdrop on me? | 12:17 |
| tomreyn | bakery: there can be traffic analysis, and attempts to do man-in-the-middle attacks against you, but that's about it. | 12:17 |
| tomreyn | so be sure to authenticate the endpoints, that's most important. | 12:17 |
| bakery | How do I do that? | 12:18 |
| tomreyn | i.e. dont just rely on DNS | 12:18 |
| bakery | Well, the connection should be via IP... | 12:18 |
| tomreyn | ensure you verify the certificates of both endpoints mutually | 12:18 |
| bakery | Is that done with a standard OpenVPN installation? | 12:19 |
| tomreyn | as with all symmetric encryption you need to verify the endpoints certificate through a different, reliable, channel. | 12:19 |
| bakery | If I have both a client and server asymmetric key configured | 12:21 |
| bakery | I shouldn't need a separate channel, right? | 12:21 |
| bakery | My problem is that the local government is blocking my VPS access. | 12:21 |
| === default is now known as Guest66589 | ||
| tomreyn | bakery: you always need to ensure that the endpoint you are connecting to is the one you want to connect to. in most cases this means comparing fingerprints through a different, secure channel or better face-to-face. | 12:26 |
| tomreyn | bakery: with a symmetric scheme you would have a shared secret which needs to be communicated through the other channel (or face-to-face) instead of fingerprints. | 12:28 |
| bakery | tomreyn: | 12:28 |
| tomreyn | this is to solve the fundamental problem of: how do i know that this guy who claims to be someone i was supposed to meet is really him. | 12:28 |
| bakery | OpenVPN SSH involves an Asymmetric Key exchange | 12:28 |
| BenderIsGreat34 | hi, im trying to install a .deb package which has dependencies. i tried to install them with apt-get -f install but that removes the package itself.... how do i fix this? | 12:29 |
| bakery | And with Asymmetric Key exchange for initial server verification, you don't need to worry about that provided the asymmetric key is sufficiently complex | 12:29 |
| === dave is now known as Guest39434 | ||
| bakery | and given that you have it configured correctly | 12:29 |
| BenderIsGreat34 | anyone who can help me? | 12:32 |
| tomreyn | bakery: you still need to ensure the authenticity of the endpoints of the communication separately. this takes place when you setup the initial ssh connection. | 12:32 |
| riqdiiz | taskmanager disabled by administrator how can I enable it ? | 12:33 |
| rreina | My microphone records internal audio despite of I'm using headphones. Any solution? | 12:34 |
| tomreyn | BenderIsGreat34: if you used dpkg -i to install the package then ran apt-get -f install and it wanted to remove the package then it means it is unable to satisfy the dependencies. i.e. this package you installed is most likely not made for your version of ubuntu, or you lack some other apt sources. generally be sure you know what it means to install packages by dpkg directly, this can introduce serious problems. | 12:34 |
| rreina | does anybody know a channel that could help me with my microphone problem? | 12:36 |
| bakery | ked | 12:37 |
| BenderIsGreat34 | tomreyn: thanks! how can i figure out which dependencies cannot be fullfilled? | 12:37 |
| === ikke is now known as Guest23630 | ||
| tomreyn | BenderIsGreat34: dpkg -I package.deb | grep ^Depends | 12:39 |

| BenderIsGreat34 | so i need to check manually? | 12:40 |

| === yann is now known as Guest7174 | ||
| === dave is now known as Guest54025 | ||
| === raul is now known as Guest17750 | ||

| mashbro | ikonia: so, after changing the permissions, do I need to restart apache for the changes to work? | 12:55 |
| bekks | falematte: You can do it with Ubuntu. And you can use unetbootin for creating the usb installation. | 12:55 |
| tomreyn | ymasory: you could just rename it so it has a different files extension, such as .bak. then you can install the package and diff the file you created to the one the package installed. | 12:56 |

| bekks | Sail: Aüache virtual hosts are commonly used throughout the internet. Almost every apache installation uses them. | 12:56 |
| mashbro | Sail: see the documentation mate - http://httpd.apache.org/docs/2.2/vhosts/ | 12:56 |
| tomreyn | RishabhTatiraju: what are the exactly URLs youare unable to access? http://facebook.com and http://ehow.com ? Are you into worrking on a terminal? | 12:57 |
| Sail | ikonia: should it work on live on the internet? | 12:57 |
| ikonia | Sail: that's apache's function | 12:57 |
| falematte | bekks, Ok thx! Any ideas about the partitions table of a 32 GB usb? | 12:57 |
| ikonia | to serve web pages on the network you are on | 12:57 |
| RishabhTatiraju | tomreyn, yeah facebook, ehow and dozens of others | 12:57 |
| Sail | ikonia: ok is there any method to make apache live over the internet? | 12:57 |
| demonio666666 | ciao | 12:58 |
| tomreyn | RishabhTatiraju: "facebook" is a name, not a URL | 12:58 |
| demonio666666 | !list | 12:58 |
| ubottu | demonio666666: No warez here! This is not a file sharing channel (or network); read the channel topic. If you're looking for information about me, type « /msg ubottu !bot ». If you're looking for a channel, see « /msg ubottu !alis ». | 12:58 |
| bekks | falematte: I have a lot of ideas. But whats your actual question? | 12:58 |
| ikonia | Sail: yes, run it on a machine that's on the internet | 12:58 |
| tomreyn | RishabhTatiraju: which URLs are you unable to access? | 12:58 |
| ymasory | tomreyn: that did it, thanks. is there any way i can be certain it's doing automatic updates? other than waiting for an email the first time a security update is installed automatically :) | 12:58 |
| demonio666666 | Hi | 12:58 |
| RishabhTatiraju | tomreyn yes facebook.com, ehow.com | 12:58 |
| tomreyn | RishabhTatiraju: this are domain names, now we're getting closer. | 12:58 |
| RishabhTatiraju | http://ehow.com does not work | 12:59 |
| tomreyn | RishabhTatiraju: OK. To repeat my other question: Are you into working on a terminal? | 12:59 |
| falematte | bekks, I dunno how unetbootin works. I mean, i have to make an ext 4 partition for the system and leave the other space NTFS for data? | 12:59 |
| RishabhTatiraju | tomeryn, i can run commands in terminal | 13:00 |
| prasant | hi | 13:00 |
| rreina | hello | 13:00 |
| tomreyn | RishabhTatiraju: your IP address is assigned to a country which is known to apply Internet censorship by means of DNS modifications. Do you expect this to be the case here? | 13:01 |
| MonkeyDust | !install > falematte did you read this? | 13:01 |
| ubottu | falematte, please see my private message | 13:01 |
| bekks | falematte: I'd not use NTFS at all when using linux. And you have several ways. unetbootin creates a bootable usb stick, and in persistent mode, you will have 4GB for your data, using VFAT. Otherwise, you could just install on a USB stick and create partitions before as you like. | 13:01 |
| prasant | can any one suggest me a good open source alternative to Adobe lightroom? | 13:01 |
| falematte | bekks, Thanks for the info, gonna try unetbootin :) | 13:02 |
| RishabhTatiraju | tomreyn, well im in India and i think facebook is allowed here | 13:02 |
| bekks | prasant: digikam | 13:02 |
| Sail | falematte: use fdisk to create partition then type partprobe /dev/sda and then format this partition with ext4 like: mkfs.ext4 partiton name | 13:02 |
| Sail | RishabhTatiraju: i am also from india whats ur problem repear once again | 13:03 |
| Sail | *repeat | 13:03 |
| bekks | Sail: Most likely, /dev/sda is your first harddrive. So I suggest to not follow your advice when trying to create an USB installation. | 13:03 |
| ymasory | tomreyn: nvmnd, already got an email! | 13:03 |
| RishabhTatiraju | tomreyn, can you tell me how can i change my DNS addresses? | 13:03 |
| RishabhTatiraju | Sail, i cannot acess certain websites | 13:03 |
| bekks | RishabhTatiraju: I'd not change DNS servers unless you you it is a DNS problem. | 13:04 |
| bekks | RishabhTatiraju: And since you dont get the message "unable to resolve server..." it is not a DNS problem. | 13:04 |
| RishabhTatiraju | bekss, ehow.com seems to load infinitely | 13:04 |
| bekks | RishabhTatiraju: Which is not a DNS problem. | 13:05 |
| tomreyn | bekks: well it may resolve to a different location than it should. | 13:05 |
| bekks | tomreyn: Which can be checked :) | 13:05 |
| === jakub830 is now known as jakub_r | ||
| tomreyn | bekks: sure, do you feel like explaining this | 13:05 |
| Sail | bekks: RishabhTatiraju : can you ping those website which are not working | 13:06 |
| bekks | RishabhTatiraju: Please open a terminal and pastebin the output of "ping -c ehow.com" | 13:06 |
| mashbro | ikonia: That didn't work. | 13:06 |
| RishabhTatiraju | okay | 13:06 |
| mashbro | Still it's asking me for FTP details. | 13:06 |
| ikonia | mashbro: what's the actual problem ? | 13:06 |
| mashbro | The actual problem is that I want to stop wordpress from asking me FTP details every time I try to upgrade a plugin or theme. | 13:07 |
| RishabhTatiraju | bekks, Sail: here is the ping result | 13:07 |
| ikonia | mashbro: so why are you changing permissions for that | 13:07 |
| RishabhTatiraju | "ping: bad number of packets to transmit. | 13:07 |
| ikonia | mashbro: wordpress will always ask you for ftp details | 13:07 |
| ikonia | mashbro: it needs to have them to login | 13:07 |
| bekks | RishabhTatiraju: Then you did not type ping -c 5 ehow.com | 13:07 |
| mashbro | ikonia: Because I thought it is an issue with file permissions | 13:07 |
| ikonia | mashbro: no, it's not | 13:08 |
| mashbro | ikonia: nope it doesn;t. | 13:08 |
| ikonia | mashbro: ftp you have to login.... | 13:08 |
| mashbro | Nope, you don't have to. I used to work without logging in, on windows. But I was using wamp | 13:08 |
| ikonia | mashbro: it needs to know your ftp login details to login to do the upgrade, | 13:09 |
| FunkyELF | I'm trying to build something from source and it is complaining about me missing libusb... but as far as I can tell I have it installed. | 13:09 |

| mashbro | ikonia: http://www.chrisabernethy.com/why-wordpress-asks-connection-info/ | 13:09 |

| FunkyELF | it seems this thing I"m trying to build wants libusb-1.0.8 or greater while I have libusb-1.0 .... how can I upgrade? | 13:11 |
| mashbro | ikonia: It is different for hosts. | 13:11 |
| tomek_ | hello | 13:11 |
| mashbro | Most of the web hosts will allow the upgrades without logging in to FTP. | 13:11 |
| ikonia | mashbro: no it's not | 13:12 |
| ikonia | mashbro: I've just read the article | 13:12 |
| Sail | RishabhTatiraju: try with http or https | 13:12 |
| ikonia | mashbro: according to that articale my wordpress setup should not prompt me for an FTP login | 13:12 |
| mashbro | ikonia: Okay, let me ask you one thing. | 13:12 |
| RishabhTatiraju | bekks: http://paste.ubuntu.com/1461911/ | 13:12 |
| mashbro | Are you trying to say - you will have to authenticate with FTP in all the hosts to perform a plugin upgrade? | 13:13 |
| dcherniv | mashbro is right, it could be permission issue if apache doesnt have write permissions to plugin directory wordpress will ask for ftp pass | 13:13 |
| bekks | RishabhTatiraju: Thats the correct address of ehow.com and as you can see, you can even reach it. So, you do not have a DNS problem. | 13:13 |
| mashbro | If so, you're wrong. It depends on your host. | 13:13 |
| RishabhTatiraju | okay bekks | 13:13 |
| FunkyELF | can someone help walk me through updating libusb to 1.0.8 on 12.04 | 13:14 |
| RishabhTatiraju | i just could get into facebook | 13:14 |
| ikonia | mashbro: well, I don't as I have multiple wordpress sites under svn control, but if I want to use the automated upgrade process yes | 13:14 |
| mashbro | For example, Hostgator, or Mediatemple etc. allows upgrading plugins without logging into Ftp | 13:14 |
| tomreyn | RishabhTatiraju: so it resolves to the right ip address. nevertheless, your traffic to the server may be intercepted by a third party. that's a bit more difficult to diagnose, you would need to run a traceroute to the server. | 13:14 |
| mashbro | I'm talking about normal plugin upgrades by going to Dashboard > Updates | 13:15 |
| ikonia | mashbro: I run my own host, hence why it's running as the apache user so it should/and does have access | 13:15 |
| RishabhTatiraju | tomreyn, how? | 13:15 |
| mashbro | ikonia: cool. But that doesn't mean you need to login with ftp for every host. | 13:15 |
| RishabhTatiraju | pardon me, im hours new to Ubuntu | 13:15 |
| bekks | RishabhTatiraju: Use a terminal an pastebin the output of "traceroute ehow.com" | 13:15 |
| ikonia | mashbro: it's a reasonable security risk, it may have been removed, although I've never seen it auto authenticate | 13:16 |
| tomreyn | RishabhTatiraju: this may also be of interest: http://netalyzr.icsi.berkeley.edu/ | 13:16 |
| bekks | RishabhTatiraju: Nevertheless, even knowing that your traffic might be intercepted, that knowledge will not help you to actually use ehow.com | 13:16 |
| mashbro | You told - "it needs to know your ftp login details to login to do the upgrade," | 13:16 |
| ikonia | mashbro: yes, | 13:16 |

| bakery | vpn-pay.itshidden.com | 13:16 |
| bakery | erm, ecxuse me | 13:16 |
| mashbro | Well, it doesn't necessary need to know your FTP details to do the plugin upgrade. | 13:16 |
| mashbro | bakery: what? | 13:16 |
| bakery | on this website, whether or not openvpn works | 13:17 |

| ikonia | mashbro: there is a simple test | 13:17 |
| tomreyn | RishabhTatiraju: finally, there may be just technical connectivity issues. you could use a utility such as "mtr" to debug this. | 13:17 |
| ikonia | mashbro: chmod -R 777 on your root wordpress folder (careful this is a risk) | 13:17 |
| ikonia | mashbro: that will give totally unrestricted access | 13:17 |
| tomreyn | ikonia: that's not a risk, that's plain dumb. | 13:17 |
| falematte | bekks, gparted is giving me problems making a second partition with fat 32 on it. It takes 2 sec to format it and then u see that there is no fat32 FS on it... | 13:17 |
| ikonia | mashbro: if that resovles it you know the functionality is there and you can lock down your permissions, if that doesn't resolve it you know the functionality no-longer works/is valid | 13:18 |
| ikonia | mashbro: you can also verify this with the guys in #wordpress | 13:18 |
| ikonia | tomreyn: I totally agree it's a big risk | 13:18 |

| falematte | bekks, No partprobe what is it? Gonna check it out | 13:59 |
| MonkeyDust | decci looks like lustre is for cloud computing, i guess servers... better upgrade 10.04 to something newer, it will soon be !eol | 14:00 |
| redheat | I meant dr_willis, you too MonkeyDust.. | 14:00 |
| bekks | falematte: It re-reads the partition table after modifying it. | 14:00 |
| redheat | Thank you both, buddies, I appreciate it..happy holidays to you both..thank you so much ... you made my day.. | 14:00 |
| tomreyn | decci: lustre is when you the storage media you are building is in the petabyte size area | 14:01 |
| abhinavmehta_ | how to mount ntfs/exfat partition over ubuntu live os | 14:02 |
| tomreyn | decci: for smaller architectures, look into a SAN or NAS | 14:02 |
| falematte | bekks, tried now didn't work. Dmess says there is no valid fat32 filesystem | 14:03 |
| bekks | falematte: Then take a look at the dmesg output, as I said before. | 14:04 |
| falematte | bekks, h[11963.536260] FAT-fs (sdb2): bogus number of reserved sectors | 14:05 |

| falematte | , any idea?ere it is: | 14:05 |
| tomreyn | RishabhTatiraju: looks like you are unable to setup a TCP connection to the ehow server at 184.25.12.164 - you could run a traceroute to this server and see what's going wrong: traceroute 184.25.12.164 | 14:05 |
| tomreyn | oh ping timeout | 14:05 |
| bekks | falematte: After creating the partition, run partprobe, then create the filesystem. Then take a look at dmesg. | 14:06 |
| raven | any tool that makes snow on the screen? | 14:06 |
| bekks | falematte: You have to run partprobe using sudo. | 14:06 |
| falematte | bekks, i did, that was the output | 14:06 |
| bekks | falematte: Then pastebin it. | 14:06 |

| bekks | falematte: Thats dmesg | tail and not dmesg. | 14:09 |
| bekks | falematte: did you use gparted using gksu? | 14:10 |
| decci | tomreyn: I am quite new to lustre but I dont think we cant install it as a general hard disk of 20GB | 14:10 |
| bekks | falematte: And did you run mkfs using sudo? | 14:11 |
| tomreyn | decci: to use lustre, you need a minimum of, i think, 3 dedicated servers. one storage, one compute, one, I/O cluster | 14:11 |
| falematte | bekks, i used sudo gparted and sudo mkfs | 14:11 |
| MonkeyDust | decci you don't need lustre for a mere 20GB | 14:11 |
| tomreyn | decci: lol, no you dnot want to use it for a 20 GB HDD | 14:11 |
| decci | tomreyn: I am trying to use lustre for HPC cluster | 14:11 |
| falematte | bekks, http://pastebin.com/Reew80VW | 14:12 |
| decci | tomreyn: Right now I have 1 frontend and 3 compute nodes | 14:12 |
| MonkeyDust | decci guess lustre is for 1000 20GB HDD's | 14:12 |
| bekks | decci: And that cluster has how much hdd space? | 14:12 |
| decci | bekks: They are Dell C-series machines with 700 GB | 14:12 |
| bekks | decci: So 2.1 TB in total? Thats not worth the effort to setup lustre. | 14:13 |
| decci | bekks: I am not using it for production server. I want to use it for just testing | 14:14 |
| decci | bekks: What min config do i need | 14:14 |
| === zz_ymasory is now known as ymasory | ||
| bekks | decci: The minimum config is three nodes and just a few bits of space. A useful setup would require a lot of space and a lot of machines. | 14:15 |
| bekks | And not just 3 nodes and 700GB each. | 14:15 |
| tomreyn | decci: use ceph or glusterfs or just NFS with ext4 | 14:15 |
| decci | bekks: Ok..I am trying to setup min config | 14:15 |
| decci | tomreyn: I need to use lustre | 14:15 |
| bekks | decci: Why? | 14:15 |
| tomreyn | decci: okay sorry missed that | 14:15 |
| bekks | decci: Who is forcing you to use lustre and why? :) | 14:16 |
| MonkeyDust | decci what we are trying to say is: lustre is for a much larger scale than what you have | 14:16 |
| decci | tomreyn: I am trying to replace Hadoop's HDFS with lustre and see what performance it shows | 14:16 |
| decci | tomreyn: Thats my aim | 14:16 |
| bekks | decci: And that HDFS has how much space currently? | 14:16 |
| decci | tomreyn: I have already Hadoop Cluster ready..but for now its just 3-4 machines | 14:16 |
| decci | tomreyn: I have 1 master machine(700GB) and 2-3 datanodes(700GB) | 14:17 |
| decci | bekks: I have 1 master machine(700GB) and 2-3 datanodes(700GB) | 14:17 |
| decci | bekks: each | 14:17 |
| pepito | hi, can somebody help me please, for having root privilege on a further user, ALL=(ALL) ALL in visudo is good ? | 14:17 |
| bekks | decci: Which is not worth the effort. Talking about 700TB each, I'd try it. But not for 700GB. | 14:18 |
| pepito | help please | 14:18 |
| tomreyn | decci: i'm with bekks there | 14:18 |
| bekks | pepito: You already have a user with sudo privileges in your /etc/sudoers - take it as example. | 14:19 |
| decci | bekks: I understand but just for testing | 14:19 |
| bekks | decci: Testing a setup like that is just wasting time and space. | 14:19 |
| bekks | decci: You wont get usable or reliable testing results. | 14:19 |
| MonkeyDust | pepito it should look similar to this: username ALL=(ALL) NOPASSWD: /usr/bin/apt-get | 14:19 |
| pepito | bekks: yes but if we don't want use sudo again and again, we can change privilege in visudo ? | 14:20 |
| MonkeyDust | pepito wrong paste, my mistake | 14:20 |
| decci | bekks: ok. What config should be the relevant for my testing if I am plannng to use Lustre for Hadoop | 14:20 |
| pepito | Monkeydust, it's NOPASSWF: ALL nop ? | 14:20 |
| MonkeyDust | pepito wrong snippet, ignore my paste | 14:21 |
| KaiserThaws | Hi, anyone using rsyslog with LogAnalyzer ? | 14:21 |
| decci | bekks: I will see if I can arrange the setup...I have couple of dell and HP servers lying in DC | 14:21 |
| pepito | Monkeydust ok | 14:21 |
| decci | bekks: please suggest | 14:21 |
| bekks | decci: Some reasonable sizing, comparable to the environment you want to use it in productively. | 14:21 |
| decci | bekks: I am trying to compare HDFS with Lustre for Hadoop | 14:22 |
| bekks | decci: You already said that. | 14:22 |
| decci | bekks: Hadoop works for any minimal commodity hardware but for lustre? | 14:22 |
| decci | bekks: Sorry if I am repeating | 14:22 |
| decci | bekks: But I need to know what is required for lustre | 14:22 |
| bekks | decci: Then please read my postings again. The havent changed since the first time. | 14:23 |
| bekks | decci: You have been told multiple times now. | 14:23 |
| MonkeyDust | decci lustre is not for what you are doing on that small scale | 14:24 |
| decci | bekks: Talking about 700TB each....do you mean that | 14:24 |
| decci | bekks: Thats not minimal right? | 14:24 |
| decci | MonkeyDust: I am trying to set up for HPC cluster which is not small scale and that too for Hadoop | 14:24 |
| decci | MonkeyDust: Anything wrong do you see in "Enhancing hadoop Performance for HPC environment through Lustre" | 14:25 |
| bekks | decci: 70TB is not minimal, but it isnt really big, either. | 14:25 |
| decci | bekks: ok | 14:25 |
| Lukas1321 | I've got a problem with Ubuntu 12.10 64-bit (MB: Asus M4A785TD-V EVO): When calling on Skype, one minute after the start of the conversation the sound output becomes distorted. It goes away when sound mode is set to another one but comes back after ten seconds. The same problem is with VLC Player. What is the cause of this problem? | 14:25 |
| decci | bekks: 700TB or 70TB | 14:25 |
| pepito | Bekks : the exemple is just root ALL=(ALL) ALL but username ALL=(ALL) ALL is not correct ... :( | 14:25 |
| bekks | decci: Doesnt matter. | 14:25 |
| bekks | decci: You wont have that handy for a testing setup. So this all gets pretty pointless now. | 14:26 |
| decci | bekks: ok | 14:26 |
| decci | bekks: I can arrange the setup..I have just started planning for the same | 14:26 |
| pepito | up | 14:27 |
| decci | bekks: I am surprised nowhere does it mention what is really required for lustre | 14:27 |
| bekks | decci: You can arrange 70TB for a testing setup? I do not believe that. | 14:27 |
| decci | bekks: I dont see anywhere it says you need TBs of space for lustre | 14:27 |
| bekks | pepito: # Allow members of group sudo to execute any command | 14:27 |
| bekks | %sudo ALL=(ALL:ALL) ALL | 14:27 |
| decci | bekks: I am system admin :) | 14:27 |
| ogny | you all rock | 14:27 |
| bekks | decci: Which doesnt mean you have 70TB handy. | 14:27 |
| decci | bekks: I have couple of dell and HP old machines | 14:27 |
| decci | bekks: I do | 14:27 |
| bekks | decci: I am talking about 70 TB per node. | 14:27 |
| bekks | decci: Not 70 TB in 8000 zillions of old hdds. | 14:28 |
| decci | bekks:I know its too much..but let me see if I can make it to 10TB | 14:28 |
| decci | bekks: I am still surprised..why lustre need so much space? Any reason | 14:29 |
| bekks | decci: lustre is a large scale enterprise solution. Not some small scale home testing environment. :) | 14:29 |
| pepito | bekks, I put that in visudo or not ? | 14:29 |
| decci | bekks: Relatively cost factor might make customer not to go for it | 14:29 |
| bekks | pepito: No. Thats already in your /etc/sudoers | 14:29 |

| scooby__ | raven: it is a PREFERENCE in firefox - also not really a ubuntu question | 14:43 |
| scooby__ | raven: or do you mean you want the system to start firefox automatically? | 14:43 |
| craigbass1976 | scooby__, thanks. Got it. 75k lines... That might be why FF is having a fit? | 14:44 |
| raven | scooby__ right i need to start firefox in fullscreen mode at startup | 14:44 |

| scooby__ | raven: there is a startup ability on the configuration - just use that to invoke firefox and the URL you want - rto make it full screen grab one of the firefox addons that will do this for you. You will also need to set your system so the user will be aito-logged on of course | 14:46 |
| raven | scooby__ i know how to autostart in root with rc.conf but how to start an application in userland? | 14:47 |
| scooby__ | raven: no - it is an account option you can set for a new account when you make it to start the user automatically - then foer that user use the startup option of configuration | 14:49 |

| MonkWitDaFunk | hi ubuntu channel. can i dedicate a ubuntu operating system to run badblocks as a script? | 14:51 |

| DAVEUBU | hi people, I'm using ubuntu 12.10 and was wondering: can I make all my desktops independent, I mean I want to have different desktops with different icons on each desktop. At this time they are all the same... | 14:53 |
| DAVEUBU | anyone? | 14:55 |
| HenryOrrin | lol | 14:55 |
| DAVEUBU | lol? | 14:55 |
| cfhowlett | DAVEUBU: very good question. I suspect we're all thinking hard. | 14:55 |
| HenryOrrin | Hi! | 14:55 |
| MonkWitDaFunk | dr_willis, i dont actually want to boot from a usb. in the future, id like to network boot ubuntu and automatically run badblocks after booting | 14:55 |
| irgendwer4711 | hi, I have some problem with the automounter udisk2 or gvfs. its mounts a DVD with wrong permission so I cant change into directories. This seems to be a bug of udisk2? | 14:56 |
| seednode | DAVEUBU: Doesn't Ubuntu do that by default? I don't have two monitors, but I'd think it would | 14:56 |
| DAVEUBU | i don't want to use two monitors, just have independent desktops with different backgrounds and settings | 14:57 |
| HenryOrrin | iregendwer4711: Did you try sudo chmod? | 14:57 |
| MonkWitDaFunk | network booting would allow more buses to be available for the wiping of disks in bulk | 14:57 |
| dr_willis | DAVEUBU: you want 2 seperate desktops with different users. keybord and moses? | 14:57 |
| jorenl_ | Anyone else experiencing/experienced ubuntu freezing on or before the unlock screen? any fix or info? | 14:57 |
| MonkeyDust | DAVEUBU with virtualbox you can do that | 14:57 |
| irgendwer4711 | HenryOrrin: makes no sense, when you change disk | 14:57 |
| MonkeyDust | DAVEUBU i used to have ubuntu on one screen and vbox windows XP on the other | 14:58 |
| seednode | I think he means workspaces? | 14:58 |
| DAVEUBU | indeed, workspaces is the word | 14:58 |
| DAVEUBU | wanne have different workspaces | 14:58 |
| MonkeyDust | DAVEUBU so basically, you want two desktops | 14:58 |
| seednode | I'm not sure if compiz lets you have different settings by workspace; anyone know | 14:58 |
| HenryOrrin | iregendwer4711: True but do you know if the permission in the mount point has been changed? | 14:58 |
| DAVEUBU | yes | 14:59 |
| irgendwer4711 | HenryOrrin: the umask is 0077 | 14:59 |
| MonkeyDust | DAVEUBU have you ever seen that somewheren, with any OS ? I mean, do you know it's possible? | 14:59 |
| seednode | MonkeyDust: Well, I have a similar set up on my Arch setup, you I'd say yes. | 15:00 |
| seednode | so I'd* | 15:00 |
| DAVEUBU | no, don't know if t's possible, that' why I ask you guru's :) | 15:00 |
| seednode | If you're asking for what I think you are. | 15:00 |
| seednode | Essentially, you have multiple virtual workspaces, with different desktop icons and configurations, that you can switch between while logged in? | 15:01 |
| HenryOrrin | iregendwer4711: That's a tricky one, give me a sec ok? | 15:01 |
| DAVEUBU | yes seednode | 15:01 |
| DAVEUBU | that's what i'm looking for | 15:01 |
| seednode | Alright, so then it's possible, but would require a decent amount of configuration | 15:02 |
| seednode | Also, it might not be compatible with Unity :/ | 15:02 |
| DAVEUBU | and where can i configurate that? | 15:02 |
| HenryOrrin | iregendwer4711: Have you checked /etc/fstab and see if the cd mount point is set correctly? | 15:02 |
| seednode | DAVEUBU: That's the problem; I'm not sure it will work with compiz, the desktop compositor used by Ubuntu | 15:03 |
| irgendwer4711 | HenryOrrin: there is no entry in fstab, because some "automounter" do the work | 15:03 |
| seednode | And if you replace compiz with something else, you lose the Unity functionality | 15:03 |
| MonkeyDust | DAVEUBU and it sounds like you need a lot of technical skills, too | 15:03 |
| angela_1 | kanha: hey | 15:03 |
| jorenl_ | (lock screen freeze continued) A temporary or on-occasion fix would help to. My ignorance currently requires me to hold the power button and do a cold shutdown which I'd like to avoid. | 15:03 |
| DAVEUBU | ok anyway guys, gonna google a bit | 15:04 |
| l057c0d3r | anyone know much about lubuntu and permissions? like for the network manager.... i've installed it fine on several desktops and laptops in the past.. but last night i installed it on a buddy's computer and when we went to connect to his network we had to do it manually because the network tool after clicking on the connection we wanted and typing the security key would pop up a box saying we didn't have proper permission for the connection | 15:04 |
| DAVEUBU | thank you anyway for your help | 15:04 |
| seednode | DAVEUBU: Out of curiosity, why do you need different desktop icons per workspace? | 15:04 |
| seednode | Just have a single launcher, and open programs in whichever workspace you want them to be in | 15:04 |
| DAVEUBU | cause I'm working with my 3d printer and need to do a lot of configuring | 15:04 |
| seednode | It would be easier to configure | 15:04 |
| HenryOrrin | iregendwer4711: odd, you're supposed to have an entry that's close to this "/dev/hdb /media/cdrom0 udf,iso9660 user,noauto 0 0" | 15:04 |
| elena-IK | I'm trying to install xubuntu 12.10 with encryption and LVM alongside windows, I'm having trouble setting up partitions. If I select "Install Xubuntu alongside Windows 7", then the checkboxes for encryption and LVM are greyed out. If I chose "Something else", then I see no mention of LVM in the partitioning tool. How do I get a partition setup like the alternate installer used to create? | 15:05 |
| DAVEUBU | gotta go cu & ty all | 15:05 |
| seednode | elena-IK: I'm not sure you can use either of those with Win7, as it might mess with the MBR or something | 15:05 |
| seednode | That's just a guess, I'm not actually sure | 15:05 |
| tomreyn | seednode: it shouldn't matter to windows. grub is installed to the mbr anyways. | 15:06 |
| HenryOrrin | iregendwer4711: odd, you're supposed to have an entry that's close to this "/dev/hdb /media/cdrom0 udf,iso9660 user,noauto 0 0" | 15:07 |
| seednode | Well, not entirely sure how LVM and encryption work with that installer, but maybe it by default wants to encrypt the entire drive, and that doesn't work with Windows? | 15:07 |
| seednode | I just do my partitions manually, so I don't have much experience with that. | 15:07 |
| Amacidia | Hey everyone. I have ubuntu server 12.10 running. I wanted to install a gui so I installed ubuntu-desktop. When I try startx, the desktop loads but all I get is my mouse cursor and wallpaper. Any ideas? | 15:07 |
| irgendwer4711 | HenryOrrin: I could try this, but guess it wont work | 15:07 |
| tomreyn | elena-IK: you need to do this with manual partitioning. first delete any partitions not currently used (be careful!). then create partitions and assign them either to a raid or directly as device for encryption. | 15:08 |
| HenryOrrin | just be careful with "/dev/hdb" it might be a different drive on your install | 15:08 |
| kanha | angela_1: hi | 15:08 |
| === carlos is now known as Guest31273 | ||
| HenryOrrin | iregendwer4711: just be careful with "/dev/hdb" it might be a different drive on your install | 15:08 |

| jorenl_ | (lock screen freeze desperately continued) someone, please. I'd really really appreciate if someone could help me out on this one. | 15:09 |
| irgendwer4711 | HenryOrrin: I am a server admin ;-) but no desktop admin, badly | 15:09 |
| l057c0d3r | like lxde.. or fluxbox :-) | 15:09 |
| seednode | jorenl_: What's the issue. | 15:09 |
| HenryOrrin | iregendwer4711: I would go to the system profiler and benchmarker and see what the drive location is | 15:10 |
| elena-IK | tomreyn: that's the problem. there is no mention if raid or LVM in the "Use as:" field. It used to be there in the alternate installer, now there just is "physical volume for encryption". | 15:10 |
| tomreyn | elena-IK: then, on top of the encryption layer, you may want to setup lvm so you can have additional "partitions" (logical volumes) there. | 15:10 |

| Lukas1321 | I've got a problem with Ubuntu 12.10 64-bit (MB: Asus M4A785TD-V EVO): When calling on Skype, 5 seconds after the start of the conversation the sound output becomes distorted.

| ubuntuaddicted | anyone else capture recordings with a mic? using audacity and i can't get decent mic capture, there's a ton of white noise | 15:13 |
| tomreyn | elena-IK: so you do select "device for encryption", then on top of all the partitions you can select what to do with the crypto device, and then you can add lvm on top of the encryption, which will again show up on top, where you can then add lv's on this LVM physical volume (which is already entirely encryped) | 15:14 |
| tomreyn | elena-IK: be sure to create a small unencrypted parition for /boot, though | 15:14 |
| seednode | ubuntuaddicted: I've only used it in other distros/OSes | 15:14 |
| tomreyn | elena-IK: also if you have large disks and need to use a GPT partiton table then you'll need yet another unencrypted partiton for grub | 15:15 |
| ubuntuaddicted | seednode, any special settings for conf files to get better mic recordings? | 15:15 |
| seednode | ubuntuaddicted: As far as I know, I've been using default. | 15:15 |
| s7r | i use aol all in one software on my windows... can i do this in ubuntu also? | 15:15 |
| seednode | Are you sure it's not your Mic? | 15:16 |
| ubuntuaddicted | seednode, it's a brand new mic and I have tried 2 different mics. | 15:16 |
| seednode | Try just lowering sensitivity and talking a bit louder | 15:16 |
| seednode | Oh. | 15:16 |
| elena-IK | tomreyn: no I can't add lvm on top of the encryption, because the LVM option in the use as dialog of the created sda6_crypt device is missing. setting up the encrypted partition is working just fine. | 15:16 |
| seednode | Hm... | 15:16 |
| seednode | Here, let me check my configs, but I'm pretty sure I'm using default. | 15:16 |
| seednode | Yeah, it's just on default | 15:17 |
| seednode | This is in Arch, mind you. | 15:17 |
| seednode | Someone else'll have to test for Ubunut | 15:17 |
| seednode | Ubuntu* | 15:17 |
| tomreyn | elena-IK: normally changes need to be written to disk before you can make use of the crypto device for anything else | 15:18 |
| tomreyn | elena-IK: i haven't actually tried this uaing the xubuntu 12.10 graphical (?) installer myself, yet, though. | 15:19 |
| elena-IK | tomreyn: the alternate installed used to do that automatically after setting up either luks or lvm. the new installer seems to do that too, there is now apply button, only quit, back and install now. | 15:19 |
| tarun__ | quit | 15:19 |
| MonkeyDust | ubuntuaddicted i've just tried 'sound recorder', no white noise | 15:19 |

| seednode | ubuntuaddicted: I remember having a similar issue once; go into alsamixer and disable Mic Boost and try again | 15:20 |
| ubuntuaddicted | seednode, ok, thanks | 15:23 |
| tomreyn | elena-IK: looks like the mini-cd still has the alternate installer https://help.ubuntu.com/community/Installation/MinimalCD | 15:23 |
| seednode | ubuntuaddicted: Let me know if that works. | 15:24 |
| tomreyn | elena-IK: actually i'm not sure that's the alternate installer, but it may be. | 15:25 |
| elena-IK | tomreyn: thanks, I didn't know that. I just started setting up lvm manually, the next time I'll use the mini cd. I made a screenshot of the use as dialog: http://s3.imgimg.de/uploads/foo419fb9a9png.png | 15:26 |
| tomreyn | elena-IK: did you create the crypto device or did it exist already when the installer started? | 15:29 |
| elena-IK | tomreyn: I created It before taking the screenshot | 15:29 |
| rdw200169 | elena-IK: I generally prefer setting up LVM's manually anyway b/c the default tends to distribute the disk space oddly: i.e. i don't need a huge /home, I need a huge /var | 15:29 |
| tomreyn | elena-IK: okay, then this is pretty bad indeed. | 15:30 |
| tomreyn | elena-IK: it's not mentioned on the release notes that this installation option was lost (but other notes regarding crypto partitions are there): https://wiki.ubuntu.com/QuantalQuetzal/ReleaseNotes/UbuntuDesktop#QuantalQuetzal.2BAC8-ReleaseNotes.2BAC8-CommonInfrastructure-1.Installation | 15:31 |

| bestdnd | hi. ithink my desktop crashed- no icons, and i can't select an area, but the top and bottom bars work, and starting and ending programs works fine. how can i restart the desktop? | 15:31 |
| chadoh | ha! figured it out! tmux and irssi don't agree on how to scroll for me, no matter the terminal app I use, whether or not I'm logged into my ubuntu ec2 vm or if I'm on my local mac. But scrolling in irssi works fine if I'm in screen. But I don't really want to use screen. So I start tmux, and in one window start a screen session, and then start irssi in there. Scrolling works ok, now. And I find this kludge acceptable. TRIUMPH! | 15:32 |
| xodiak | greetings! | 15:32 |
| elena-IK | rdw200169: do you mean manually in the installer or manually with pvcreate and so on? because at least the old alternate installer lets you chose volume sizes. I meant manually = in the terminal with pvcreate and so on. | 15:32 |
| elena-IK | tomreyn: thanks | 15:32 |

| usr13 | xodiak: Yea, that would make a difference. (If you type gufw in a terminal window, it will probably tell you to install it if you really wanna use it.) | 15:45 |

| nick_h | have the packages for Ubuntu 10.10 (Maverick) been removed? i ask because one of my servers is still running it, but "aptitude update" fails with lots of 404s | 18:18 |
| === dave is now known as Guest61402 | ||

| gamer1990 | nick_h, Ubuntu 10.10 Is End-Of-Life and isn't supported anymore. | 18:20 |
| nick_h | gamer1990: for this server, should i set its APT sources to Lucid (10.04), then? | 18:21 |
| nick_h | gamer1990: (that is, until the server can be upgraded to a newer release) | 18:22 |
| gamer1990 | you should upgrade it, since older packages could break your system | 18:22 |
| nick_h | gamer1990: in the mean time before upgrading, it'll mostly be okay to use 10.04 though, right? | 18:23 |
| kamidi | nick_h: 10.04 is older than 10.10. gamer1990 is right, you should upgrade | 18:23 |
| nick_h | kamidi: i agree that i should upgrade. however, this server can't be upgraded in the next few days | 18:24 |
| gamer1990 | look at the second part of my sentence, i don't know for sure how older packages from an earlier version would affect an system, and it is never good to mix your installed software from severel releases | 18:25 |
| kamidi | nick_h: i don't think you should just change repos to anything. most likely, your setup will be broken after packages upgrade "semi-randomly" | 18:25 |
| kamidi | nick_h: if it works now, let it be the way it is and upgrade after few days when you can | 18:26 |
| nick_h | thanks guys | 18:28 |

| SentraThis96 | has anyone found a permanent fix for the wifi connectivity issue on 12.04? | 19:01 |
| === ericab_away is now known as ericab | ||
| gmachine_24 | SentraThis96, can you please be more specific? | 19:02 |
| hylian | SentraThis96: I haven't had an issue with 12.04. The only problem I ever have had with wifi is that the nm-applet isn't as fast with updateing available servers as I'd like. | 19:02 |
| SentraThis96 | I installed xubuntu 12.04 and ever since I have wifi connectivity has been hit or miss at best | 19:02 |
| SentraThis96 | sometimes it's just slow speeds sometimes there is no connectivity at all | 19:03 |
| rhin0 | maybe its y our isp SentraThis96 | 19:03 |
| hylian | SentraThis96: That's what I am running. Xubuntu 12.04 lts 64 bit. no problems here. I don't know what to say, sorry. :) | 19:03 |
| rhin0 | have to find out -- sounds to me like isp problems - that'll fail before machine connectivity | 19:03 |
| SentraThis96 | LAN connection works completely fine | 19:03 |
| rhin0 | isp = internet service provider sentra | 19:04 |
| gmachine_24 | SentraThis96, have you tried connecting to a different WiFi? | 19:04 |
| SentraThis96 | yes | 19:04 |
| gmachine_24 | and? | 19:04 |
| hylian | SentraThis96: Sounds like it is either a router issue, or a card issue. The ifrst thing I would do is boot another live cd, perhaps slax. then see if that has the same issue. atleast it would give you some information. | 19:05 |
| SentraThis96 | Like I said connecting via an ethernet cable on the same router I use to connect wirelessly to, it works fine | 19:05 |
| hylian | SentraThis96: can you paste bin us the lshw info> | 19:05 |
| SentraThis96 | sure | 19:05 |
| gmachine_24 | SentraThis96, what happened when you connected to a different Wifi? | 19:06 |
| gmachine_24 | SentraThis96, in other words, did you have the same problems? | 19:06 |
| SentraThis96 | I gotta head home I'll be back in like 15 minutes? | 19:06 |

| bobweaver | usr13, it was for poz and not I as I do not use anti-virus | 19:27 |
| usr13 | bobweaver: I don't either, nor do I recommend anyone use it, (other than MS Windows users). | 19:28 |
| poz | usr13, why not? | 19:28 |
| usr13 | not necessary. | 19:29 |
| jaime | http://paste.ubuntu.com/1463042/ | 19:29 |
| gmachine_24 | poz, most malware/viruses are written for Windows machines | 19:29 |
| usr13 | poz Why would we install software that is not necessary? | 19:29 |
| bobweaver | !backtrack | jaime | 19:29 |
| ubottu | jaime: There are some Ubuntu derivatives that we cannot provide support for due to repository and software changes. Please consult their websites for more information. Examples: gNewSense (support in #gnewsense), Linux Mint (see !mint), LinuxMCE (support in #linuxmce), CrunchBang (support in #crunchbang), BackTrack (support in #backtrack-linux) | 19:29 |
| usr13 | poz: Linux does not have virus problems, therefore we do not need anti-virus software. (Welcome to Linux.) | 19:30 |
| bobweaver | jaime, as the bot said we can not help out. But it sounds like using a pentesting distro to watch things is not a good idea | 19:30 |
| usr13 | poz: Uninstall avg and enjoy... :) | 19:30 |
| jaime | i had it working before, but dont remember how i did it!! | 19:30 |
| bobweaver | jaime, ask on #backtrack-linux it is there distro and they have support for it . | 19:31 |
| gmachine_24 | I don't believe poz understands the world of viruses, malware, etc. and how most are written for Windows OS machines. Even if you dl the viruses out there now you couldn't run it under Ubuntu, *nix | 19:31 |
| usr13 | poz: We don't have virus problems on our Linux systems, nor do we have a virus problem when interacting with other MS Windows systems that may or may not be infected. | 19:31 |
| bobweaver | poz, think of it like this. you can not install a program that only runs on windows like say photoshop . right . Just like you can not install a virus that is for windows | 19:33 |
| gmachine_24 | poz: a virus, malware etc. is/are generally just programs that do things we don't like so they get a bad name. | 19:33 |
| usr13 | gmachine_24: Yea, you'd have to enable the executable bit for one to actually do anything, (and then it would only be in use-space), so there is virtually no need for any kind of anti-virus software. And I know, poz, that some will dispute that, but they are mislead into believing otherwise. | 19:33 |
| gmachine_24 | poz, of course this doesn't mean someone won't try to sell you something you don't need. | 19:34 |
| bobweaver | poz, if you are worried about things of that nature it might be best to learn how. Wireshark nmap and openvas works | 19:34 |
| usr13 | bobweaver: Oh yea, I've seen it. I think probably most all anti-virus makers have a Linux version for sale, (but you have to remember, people with buy ANYTHING). | 19:35 |
| bobweaver | +1million gmachine_24 dude at best buy kept on telling me when I wass buying computer that I needed anti-virus. I was like errrr. finally like "dude I am C++/QT/QML dev . I think I know if certain libs can link " he looked at me like I was crazy. I said happy holidays | 19:37 |
| poz | but what if someone writes a virus for linux? | 19:37 |
| bobweaver | poz, we update are packages everyday and look for things like that . | 19:37 |
| bobweaver | poz, we do have CVE reports | 19:37 |
| poz | oh | 19:38 |
| usr13 | poz Not gonna happen.... Trust us. Many of us have been using Linux for a long time. (12+ years for me). ... If there was need for anti-virus software, we would say so. | 19:38 |
| poz | just most of the time i run lines of code from weird sites | 19:38 |
| poz | i dont typically know what they do. but i pick up things here and there | 19:39 |
| bobweaver | poz, so if someone did write a crappy program 1) it would never ever ever ever make it to Ubuntu software center. Because it has to go through many many steps 1st. Like debian mentors and other packages and it is just the way the "flow" works that helps | 19:39 |
| usr13 | poz: Doesn't matter. | 19:39 |
| bobweaver | s|pacakges | packagers | 19:39 |
| poz | oh okay | 19:39 |
| poz | right on. so what about firewall? | 19:40 |
| usr13 | poz: We are not trying to get you into trouble, we are trying to save you from a lesson in futility :) | 19:40 |
| bobweaver | poz, we do have firewalls though and things like that | 19:40 |
| usr13 | poz: NOt really needed either. Routers are firewalls and I'm sure you have one. | 19:40 |
| bobweaver | !ufw | poz | 19:40 |
| ubottu | poz: 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. | 19:40 |
| poz | ooooh | 19:40 |
| poz | so i am already taken care of :) | 19:41 |
| gmachine_24 | poz, at least as far as a firewall, yes. :) | 19:41 |
| usr13 | poz: If you were previously a MS Windows user, yes, you needed booth, for sure, and yes, I highly recommend both, but as linux user, well it's just not necessary. | 19:41 |
| bobweaver | poz, yeah in a way. If you want to go crazy you could try things like "snort" or Ipcop or pfsense | 19:41 |
| usr13 | bobweaver: poz or dd-wrt | 19:42 |
| gmachine_24 | bobweaver, I think you're going far above his pay grade, ;) | 19:42 |
| bobweaver | but again it is not needed but it is coo | 19:42 |
| bobweaver | cool * | 19:42 |
| poz | i will look into them | 19:42 |
| poz | but i prob dont need them | 19:42 |
| usr13 | poz: The best firewall is a stand-anone firewall, (one that sits between you and the outside) (a router). | 19:42 |
| usr13 | poz: Right. | 19:43 |
| bobweaver | poz, just take your time and look around. ask questions and dont go to shady places. Hey kinda like RL | 19:43 |
| gmachine_24 | poz, the more you learn about Linux/Ubuntu/etc. the better you will feel .... | 19:43 |
| poz | yeah, i have a router that has a firewall | 19:43 |
| usr13 | poz: New linux users do all the damage that is done to their systems themselves. But there is just about nothing you can do that can't be fixed. | 19:44 |
| bobweaver | poz, then you are set. The tools that I was talking about are for like server rooms and companys that have things that they need to protect (aka insurance ) | 19:44 |
| poz | thanks guys. the reason why i am asking is because I want to figure out how hard it is to break into my wifi. I am trying out aircrack-ng and I think avg is blocking it or some thing | 19:45 |
| usr13 | poz: Breaking into your wifi is a totally different issue. | 19:45 |
| bobweaver | like because there insurance company's say "we will not cover you if you do not have this" | 19:45 |
| usr13 | poz: And there are many things you can do to keep your wifi safe, (but they are all on the router, not your PC). | 19:46 |
| bobweaver | no way | 19:46 |
| === Sierr[a]AR is now known as SierraAR | ||
| bobweaver | poz, there is no way that avg can stop mon mode (IDNT that is ) | 19:46 |
| usr13 | poz: You can use hidden network and encryption and you'll be relatively safe. | 19:46 |
| poz | i know, but i want to understand what the significance is of each one | 19:46 |
| bobweaver | poz, dont drive fast cars when 1st learning to drive ;) | 19:47 |
| bobweaver | you could crash | 19:47 |
| usr13 | poz: It's not one thing you do, (to secure your wifi network), there are several things you can do, (and you can learn them by simply reading your router's manual. | 19:47 |
| poz | so i am starting out with setting my cellphone to send out a wep wireless signal and i want to break into it | 19:48 |
| bobweaver | poz, then you should read more about airmon and aircrack | 19:48 |
| usr13 | poz: Some of the routers themselves, will give you decoy essids. | 19:48 |
| poz | usr13, I have. but I want to see it from a perspective of trying to break it | 19:49 |
| poz | bobweaver, i am. i think avg was blocking airmon | 19:49 |
| usr13 | poz: Fine, but breaking into networks is beyond the scope of this chanel. | 19:49 |
| poz | usr13, i am hoping my phone wont | 19:49 |
| usr13 | poz: It is your system, do what you want with it. (We are simply here to give you advise and answer questions about Ubuntu.) | 19:50 |
| poz | That is understandable. It can be used for illegal purposes... | 19:50 |
| brahim | hello | 19:50 |
| bobweaver | hello brahim happy holidays | 19:51 |
| usr13 | poz: We don't even discuss what can be done illegally here. This chanel is for Ubuntu support. | 19:51 |
| usr13 | .... in other words, we have wandered off topic .... | 19:51 |
| bobweaver | poz, we go by something called the Ubuntu Code of Conduct. maybe you would like to read that ? | 19:51 |
| poz | sorry. | 19:52 |
| bobweaver | in other words the law :) | 19:52 |
| bobweaver | well at least us people that are members (ubuntu members that is ) | 19:52 |
| usr13 | NP, that's what we're here for, to exchange information, (but about Ubuntu). | 19:52 |
| poz | then regarding ubuntu, i installed avg from the deb found here... http://free.avg.com/us-en/download.prd-alf | 19:53 |
| poz | i now wish to remove this from my system | 19:53 |
| usr13 | poz: dpkg | 19:53 |
| bobweaver | poz, that is also not supported here that is a 3rd party app that is not in the Ubuntu main repo nor partners ect | 19:53 |
| bobweaver | poz, did you read the link I sent ? | 19:53 |
| poz | part of it | 19:54 |
| poz | i tryed dpkg, i need to install package | 19:54 |
| usr13 | poz: dpkg -r <pkg-name-here> or dpkg -purge <pkg-name-here> | 19:54 |
| tabeo | i want this to go viral so please help me get tabeo to do something about this please share this with all of your fridnds http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=QjJOoe3Hlkc | 19:55 |
| poz | i am not sure what the package name is | 19:55 |
| usr13 | poz: It is best to stick with packages that can be installed from Ubuntu's package manager, apt (FYI) | 19:55 |
| mrabz | is anyone able to give advice on how to to a badblocks or fsck check on a raid array on a remote system? | 19:55 |
| poz | got it | 19:55 |
| bobweaver | poz, look it up apt-cache search avg | 19:55 |
| poz | sudo dpkg -r avg2012flx seemed to work | 19:56 |
| usr13 | poz: You just sent us a link to the site you got it from, right? You probably still have the file in your ~/Downloads directory, Right? | 19:56 |
| usr13 | poz: There you go... | 19:56 |
| poz | i delete stuff after i am done with them | 19:56 |
| poz | but i think i got it | 19:57 |
| bobweaver | poz, there is also things like synaptic package manager that can help you with things like that | 19:57 |
| bakuryu | does ubuntu fit anywhere in a workplace environment? | 19:58 |
| yeats | mrabz: you can't do fsck on a mounted drive, so you'll probably need physical access just to start a live cd/usb | 19:58 |
| bobweaver | bakuryu, that is a loaded question can you give more detials ? | 19:58 |
| poz | thanks bobweaver | 19:58 |
| yeats | bakuryu: I use Ubuntu/other Linux exclusively at my workplace | 19:58 |
| bakuryu | bobweaver: does ubuntu have any use software-wise in business | 19:59 |
| bobweaver | there are companys that use and whole countries that Use Ubuntu in the work place | 19:59 |
| bobweaver | like google | 19:59 |
| poz | I have another problem that I have been experencing. i dont know if we have time to solve it though as I am expecting a visitor within a min... The sound is unstable. | 19:59 |
| === Mike_ is now known as Guest13644 | ||
| mrabz | yeats: its a remote system, so no access to hardware or boot prompts | 19:59 |
| === Guest13644 is now known as Mike__\ | ||
| === Mike__\ is now known as Mike__ | ||

| poz | and it is not automute | 20:00 |
| bobweaver | bakuryu, yea we do and we also have programs for b.people that need support. It is called ubuntu advantage | 20:00 |
| === zz_ymasory is now known as ymasory | ||
| yeats | mrabz: I'm so sorry - I had to go out to a datacenter for that sort of issue just this week - was up most of the night so I feel your pain | 20:00 |
| bobweaver | bakuryu, we also have custom iso's that are for enterprise | 20:00 |
| poz | if I open the sound settings. the bottom part of the window (about where "Output volume:" starts) flashes on and off and the windows resizes like it is unstable. these unstablitys are in line with the sound problems | 20:01 |
| yeats | bakuryu: there are only a few things you can't do (or aren't straightforward) without windows, but most things are workable via samba and wine | 20:01 |
| mrabz | yeats: ikr, its such a 'swings and roundabouts' problem. my dedi provider wants to swap out the drive instead of doing a local fsck check in a terminal. I can't drive to the data centre, its 600 miles away :P | 20:03 |
| poz | i think the headphones driver or somthing, maybe a lose conection, is turning on and off | 20:03 |
| poz | i dont have any headphones in though | 20:03 |
| yeats | mrabz: ah - gotcha - you might look into whether you can get remote KVM (as in "keyboard/video/mouse") set up on the servers you have to administer | 20:04 |
| bobweaver | bakuryu, what kinda things are you looking for ? | 20:04 |
| mrabz | yeats: will look into it, thank! | 20:04 |
| yeats | mrabz: good luck | 20:04 |
| mrabz | I might need it ;) | 20:05 |

| jondot` | hello | 20:09 |
| jondot` | how do i replace the goddamn side launcher with docky completely ? :) | 20:09 |
| meoblast001 | hi | 20:10 |
| meoblast001 | quick question.. i installed ndiswrapper-dkms.. why does sudo modprobe ndiswrapper say the module does not exist? | 20:11 |
| bobweaver | jondot`, use something that is not Unity | 20:11 |
| jondot` | bobweaver: but I do like the global appmenu | 20:11 |
| bendangelo | I have a question about cat | 20:11 |
| bobweaver | jondot`, what is Ubuntu version ? | 20:11 |
| jondot` | i'd be happy if the launcher was at the bottom but I understand that in 12.04 you can't do it anymore (64bit) | 20:11 |
| bobweaver | jondot`, you are on 12.04 ? did I read that right ? | 20:12 |
| jondot` | bobweaver: yes | 20:12 |
| zoie | http://pastie.org/5573790 i'm getting this error when writing sudo apt-get install -f | 20:13 |
| bobweaver | jondot`, then use Unity 2d and comment out the Loader in Shell.qml let me know if you need more explaining | 20:13 |
| zoie | apt-get -f install | 20:13 |
| jondot` | bobweaver: ok, thanks | 20:13 |
| zoie | i already did dpkg-reconfigure -a but that didn't help | 20:13 |
| krax | hello there | 20:14 |
| krax | i am trying to format a usb thumb drive to ntfs inside ubuntu. how should i do it? | 20:14 |
| yeats | zoie: you might need to ask in #ubuntu-fr | 20:15 |
| tozen | krax: sudo gparted | 20:15 |
| zoie | yeats: can i change the language, perhaps? | 20:15 |
| bobweaver | jondot`, look under http://paste.ubuntu.com/1463188/ see line 128 ? add to that "visable: false " | 20:15 |
| jondot` | bobweaver: whats the diff between ubuntu 2D and the other? | 20:15 |
| yeats | zoie: I've never done that, but I know that you can | 20:15 |
| yeats | !locale | 20:16 |
| ubottu | To set up and configure your locales, see https://help.ubuntu.com/community/LocaleConf and https://help.ubuntu.com/community/Locale/ | 20:16 |
| krax | tozen: ohh; no command line | 20:16 |
| bobweaver | jondot`, one is wrote in qml/QT /lC++ other uses NUx to render stuff and C++/C as stright coding | 20:16 |
| bobweaver | well kinda jondot` | 20:16 |
| bobweaver | one is easy to program in the other is hard. lol | 20:16 |
| tozen | krax: gparted has graphical interface | 20:17 |
| jondot` | bobweaver: so 2D is qt? | 20:17 |
| yeats | krax: gparted is a graphical program, but you have to invoke in on the command line with sudo (or gksu/gksudo) for it to work | 20:17 |
| bobweaver | jondot`, correct | 20:17 |
| bobweaver | jondot`, it use to be called unity-qt in Ubuntu 10.10 when it 1st came out | 20:18 |
| jondot` | bobweaver: so in 12.10 it is gone? | 20:18 |
| meoblast001 | i love going on launchpad and learning that everything is broken | 20:18 |
| meoblast001 | and the developers know it's all broken | 20:19 |
| meoblast001 | *sigh* | 20:19 |
| bobweaver | jondot`, correct | 20:19 |
| krax | tozen: yeats: i wanted to know if i could do it without a 3red party soft only by ntfs-fuse. i mean only by pure command. but i guess i am wrong.!:) | 20:19 |
| bobweaver | jondot`, see I add things like this to my unity-2d http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=30yNzLoOJc0 , http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=RP4iTwvCw7M | 20:20 |
| bobweaver | so that I can have the launcher on whatever side or I can change the grid layout adding privews and also using different form-factors like TV or Phone or tablet or desktop or Gaming | 20:21 |
| bobweaver | jondot`, ^^ | 20:21 |
| jondot` | i see | 20:21 |
| bobweaver | jondot`, I kinda forked Unity 2d | 20:22 |
| bobweaver | jondot`, if you have a virtual machine with 12.10 I have a ppa if you like to try it. But it is not supported by Ubuntu only me :) | 20:23 |
| bobweaver | er | 20:23 |
| bobweaver | 12.04 * | 20:23 |
| jondot` | bobweaver: cool. so i tried your trick, it worked - thanks | 20:23 |
| krax | is gparted on 12.10 x64 live cd? | 20:23 |
| bobweaver | good jondot` happy holidays | 20:23 |
| krax | to install it from there | 20:24 |
| bobweaver | yup krax | 20:24 |
| krax | bobweaver: and is there anyway to finf the deb package of it in that livecd? | 20:24 |
| bobweaver | krax, gparted comes on live iso's of Ubuntu but it does not install it after installing. | 20:25 |
| bobweaver | krax, why ? | 20:25 |
| bobweaver | krax, it is the dame deb that is in "main" | 20:25 |
| bobweaver | same * | 20:25 |
| bobweaver | I think .... | 20:25 |
| victor__ | hi | 20:27 |
| bobweaver | Hello victor__ happy holidays | 20:28 |
| jondot` | so how heavier is ubuntu than xubuntu? | 20:28 |
| victor__ | how are u all? | 20:28 |
| victor__ | thanks | 20:28 |
| bobweaver | jondot`, again depends on how one is running unity as ubuntu is a distro and unity is a DE you can run both you know that right ? | 20:28 |
| jondot` | hmm i guess Ubuntu+unity vs Xubuntu+XFCE. is it 2x, 3x heavier etc? | 20:29 |
| bobweaver | jondot`, like you can run xfce and then start unity-2d-shell and it will start it over the top of xfce. Unity-2d-shell can also run on opengl | 20:29 |
| bobweaver | depends on what libs you are using and what you have installed. But yeah Linunity-core is kinda heavey | 20:30 |
| bobweaver | heavy * | 20:30 |
| bobweaver | jondot`, ^^ | 20:30 |
| jondot` | bobweaver: how heavy though? | 20:30 |
| bobweaver | what do you mean jondot` like the mem that it uses ? or the amount of hard drive space ? or what valgrind says ect ? | 20:31 |
| jondot` | memory and cpu | 20:31 |
| mbrigdan | Hello, I have a dual monitor setup, and recently one of the monitors has started to have a screen that is "bigger" than the physical monitor, ie: I can't see things that are at the top or left edge. Anyone know what I can do to fix this? | 20:31 |
| bobweaver | jondot`, again that all depends on the ammount of lens and also the ammount of things that are running and what version of what you are running. My Unity 2d runs at about 700mb ram and it is loaded | 20:32 |
| bobweaver | not sure about xfce I do not use it jondot` | 20:32 |
| bobweaver | jondot`, I willl look on LP to see size of unity-2d but take into account that that is with out depends. :) | 20:33 |
| jondot` | i see, ok - thanks :) | 20:33 |
| bobweaver | jondot`, you can always look at build logs on launchpad also | 20:36 |
| bobweaver | like this one https://launchpadlibrarian.net/126534866/buildlog_ubuntu-precise-i386.unity-2d_6.10.06.u2t1_BUILDING.txt.gz | 20:36 |
| jondot` | ok | 20:36 |

| hobo_ | i have a laptop that had a dual boot with ubuntu and windows 7. im giving the laptop to my mom, so I wanted to remove ubuntu from it which I did by deleting the ubuntu partitions from within the windows disk management. now im getting a grub error message during startup. how do i restore the normal windows bootloader? | 23:21 |
| hobo_ | can anyone help me out with this? | 23:24 |
| dr_willis | you use the various windws tools to replace the mbr with one from windows. | 23:24 |
| Jeruvy | hobo_ your best bet is to run a repair with your windows installation cd (and to ask in ##windows) :) | 23:24 |
| dr_willis | you really should have replaced the mbr first.. then deleted the partions | 23:24 |
| dr_willis | #windows should be able to point you to some live cd's or other repair disks to replace the mbr | 23:25 |
| TheLordOfTime | dr_willis, s/#windows/##windows/ | 23:25 |
| dr_willis | I think theres some system-repair live cds out there that can do it. but with so many variants in how windows does it, its hard to tell. | 23:25 |
| dr_willis | MS likes to change the commands to fix the boot stuff with every new version of windows | 23:26 |
| lws | Seems like Ubuntu does the same thing... | 23:26 |
| Jeruvy | ^ | 23:26 |
| lws | I'm confused.. I have a custom upstart job that runs setuid to a user. Why can't that job access folders for a group that uid belongs to? | 23:27 |
| kylescottmcgill | wont the parted live CD's do that job for you? | 23:28 |

| Datz | haha | 23:29 |
| Datz | dr_willis: in X | 23:30 |
| dr_willis | and how are you trying to beep the bell. ;) | 23:30 |

| dr_willis | they need a whole faq/wiki page on pc speaker beeping. | 23:30 |
| lws | THe console and also POST signals come out the case speaker/ | 23:31 |
| dr_willis | half the wiki on how to turn it off.. other half on how to turn it on. ;) | 23:31 |
| lws | Gnome beeps should be processed via alsa or whatever else. | 23:31 |
| Datz | dr_willis: well in screen the vbell was working, then I disabled it, it said switch to audible bell, but nothing. Option is checked in terminal options for bell. | 23:31 |
| Datz | humm | 23:31 |
| dr_willis | Gnome-terminal plays a system sound via pulse. | 23:31 |
| dr_willis | there used to be a bug(feature?) where the use of ctrl-g to generate a 'beep' got captured by X. and replaced by the system beep.. but im not sure it worked that way it just captured it and stopped it for many people. | 23:32 |
| syncsys | i cant install software like wine and skype in latest kubuntu x64 | 23:32 |
| Datz | Under alert sounds, I get some feedback | 23:32 |
| dr_willis | syncsys: yes. | 23:32 |
| syncsys | dr_willis, why is that? | 23:33 |
| dr_willis | syncsys: it works for most pople.. give us details of what you are doing and error messages exactly | 23:33 |

| r4d1x | Anyone have radeons working with AMD driver on a desktop with intel integrated graphics? | 23:33 |
| Datz | dr_willis: so apparently it should be working but may be a bug so I should give up, or what? :P | 23:34 |
| syncsys | dr_willis, some times says package is broken and some times says dependancy needed and when i try to install that dependancy. i dont get it available | 23:34 |
| dr_willis | Datz: theres so many quirks and bugs and history to the speaker beeeps - i bet you can find dozens of guides on either killing it.. or getting it working. ;) | 23:34 |
| lws | How do I check the egid of a running process? | 23:34 |
| syncsys | dr_willis, The following packages have unmet dependencies: | 23:34 |

| hobo_ | Jeruvy, if i dont have the windows disc, is there an alternate bootable iso that can repair the mbr? | 23:35 |
| Datz | dr_willis: interesting.. /me wonder what kind of a headache it would be, and what the chances of success are. | 23:35 |
| dr_willis | Datz: my current desktop pc dosent 3even have a pc-spkr - things that do the hardware-speaker-type-beeps dont work. :) | 23:36 |
