| temoto | Hello. Suppose i run a project that was so lucky to arrive into Ubuntu packages and pkg maintainer is someone else. And while somewhat strange, the previous versions of Ubuntu like 11.10 ship with embarrassingly outdated versions of my project. Is there some kind of commonly recognized procedure to help to push bugfixes to older (but still "supported") packages? | 00:03 |
| kewfoew | so what is the best free irc client to use on ubuntu ??? | 00:03 |
| temoto | kewfoew, xchat | 00:04 |
| SolarisBoy | seel: yep | 00:04 |
| kewfoew | xchzt | 00:04 |
| kewfoew | xchat | 00:04 |
| rats__ | irssi | 00:04 |
| seel | how do I paste something in chat so I can show you exacty what Im seeing? | 00:04 |
| nlux | irssi <3 | 00:04 |
| kewfoew | what is the command to get from the dep | 00:04 |
| temoto | seel, http://paste.ubuntu.com/ | 00:05 |
| kewfoew | irssi, i fink ive used that before | 00:05 |
| SolarisBoy | you can install a utility to copy your output to a web posting . sudo apt-get install pastebinit | 00:05 |
| seel | yeah, I'm using irssi with this probelm I'm trying to solve and also trying to figure out bitlbee, but that's for later lol | 00:05 |
| rats__ | easy free and light | 00:05 |
| SolarisBoy | seel: ^ | 00:05 |
| kewfoew | how do i get irssi, sudo apt-get install irssi ??? | 00:06 |
| SolarisBoy | yes | 00:06 |
| escott | brightspark, you could probably move the contents of HP_TOOLS into an extended partition or otherwise back it up and remove it | 00:06 |
| temoto | kewfoew, first you need to get used to apt-cache search | 00:07 |
| temoto | kewfoew, e.g. apt-cache search irc client would actually answer your first question. | 00:07 |
| temoto | kewfoew, it also shows 'proper' package name so then you know what to type into apt-get install. | 00:08 |
| DJHenjin | escott, to do a VM, i will have to install a GUI, right? | 00:08 |
| escott | DJHenjin, no | 00:08 |
| DJHenjin | ok, so what if i want to install windows into a VM on my server? | 00:09 |
| brightspark | escott, it's only 100 megs so I that should be reasonable. Is anything on that partition likely to be non-functional as a result of being stored on an extended partition? Lots of .efi files. | 00:09 |
| SolarisBoy | you could forward x for the gui parts | 00:09 |
| pewter_tao | any idea why you get "WARNING: REMOTE HOST IDENTIFICATION HAS CHANGED!" when sshing into the system you're sshing from? | 00:09 |
| SolarisBoy | or run a remote deskttop server embedded in the VM DJHenjin | 00:09 |
| escott | brightspark, efi files. thats strange. but since your partition table is msdos it shouldn't matter | 00:09 |
| kewfoew | ok temoto | 00:10 |
| DJHenjin | SolarisBoy, any suggestions on which VM software to use for this? | 00:10 |
| SolarisBoy | sure i like vbox - there are others kvm and so forth | 00:10 |
| escott | DJHenjin, you might be able to install windows in text mode, and then access it via some kind of VNC but it would be much harder | 00:10 |
| SolarisBoy | virtualbox that is | 00:10 |
| temoto | +1 to virtualbox and qemu | 00:10 |
| SolarisBoy | virtualbox lets you set up a rdp port on the VM easily and you cn do it all from the command line too | 00:11 |
| nlux | what the heck do I do with my mounting problem? | 00:11 |
| SolarisBoy | qemu im learning is super cool too | 00:11 |
| nlux | now it won't recognize the device as vfat | 00:11 |
| DJHenjin | SolarisBoy can you point me to a resource for doing this with vbox? | 00:11 |
| SolarisBoy | nlux: can there possibly be an issue on the device? like it's fs is corrupt or even mistaken fs type? are you sure there is no partition on that drive also? can you try sudo file -sL /dev/sdg | 00:12 |
| dr_willis | the vbox manual - is worth reading. ;) | 00:12 |
| brightspark | escott, okay, is there a 'proper' way to back up an entire partition that preserves it as exactly as possible? I'd like to minimise my chances of wrecking the system. | 00:13 |
| nlux | SolarisBoy: /dev/sdg: writable, no read permission | 00:13 |
| SolarisBoy | DJHenjin: the vbox docs are good and i used this doc for writing a wrapper scrpt for building vm's http://www.perkin.org.uk/posts/create-virtualbox-vm-from-the-command-line.html | 00:13 |

| SolarisBoy | nlux: can you do this parted -l /dev/sdg | 00:14 |
| escott | brightspark, you could make an image of the partition with dd. "dd /dev/sda# | gzip sda#.img.gz | 00:14 |

| nlux | dr_willis, SolarisBoy: thanks, it seemed it was a device issue rather than an ubuntu issue, | 00:40 |
| Khaos | yes yes i know that lol sorry probably a poor phrasing. Is it adjustable/changable? meaning, can is it turn off/on-able, or is it permenntly on? | 00:41 |
| DaemonicApathy | Khaos: it is configurable with compizconfig-settings-manager, or you can just right-click to remove it from the dash, iirc. | 00:41 |
| Khaos | and can you alter how many work spaces are "up" at any one time? Instead of 4, could i run say 2 or 6? | 00:41 |
| Khaos | excuse the retardedness of this question.. but what is the compizcongfig-settings-manager? | 00:43 |
| DaemonicApathy | It is the Settings Manager that lets you configure Compiz. | 00:43 |
| nlux | Khaos a settings manager for compiz. | 00:43 |

| Khaos | if they are different, make sure that they are actually on different networks | 01:22 |
| Khaos | if your IP is 192.168.1.4 on a 255.255.255.224 subnet mask, then the next allowable address is going to be 192.168.1.33 | 01:24 |
| Khaos | assuming the network starts at 192.168.1.0 | 01:24 |
| veryhappy | Khaos: ok, got it, yea i'm running hardline. but that doesn't even make sense, i mean what it has to do if i use gpt or mbr with my network connection? it always tries to load the network and then it says after a while "disconnected, you are offline now!" | 01:24 |
| [1]Lordjoe | I need help installing ubuntu on a partition and getting it to boot alongside windows - even with grub it will not boot | 01:24 |
| Khaos | veryhappy: if it was wireless, then it was possible you were getting interference and could maybe have something wrong in the wireless sector, which its to be said, is not my forte. But as for hardline, go to your network settings and see if have conflict IP sets | 01:25 |

| b3nj | penguinman | 02:40 |
| dr_willis | JAIME: the guys in #windows may know. I think theres some. but it may depend on the windows version | 02:40 |
| darkhalo117 | I know there is an xp live boot you can get | 02:40 |

| jmb70056 | i found this link earlier but it didn't work or maybe i didn't do something right. | 03:56 |
| artichoku | o.0 | 03:56 |
| Guest9790 | hi artichoku | 03:56 |
| artichoku | i would think it would be possible | 03:56 |
| artichoku | but i couldn't tell you how | 03:57 |
| dr_willis | THeres cluster-linux disrtos. | 03:57 |
| artichoku | i mean, my servers work altogether | 03:57 |
| dr_willis | and entire books and stuff written on the topic. | 03:57 |
| mike024 | Guest9790: What are you doing that you need to 'combine processing power'? | 03:57 |
| Guest9790 | here's the deal, i have a desktop that i can't hook up to my 32 inch flat screen. so i've been using my laptop. only it's too slow and doesn't play media very well | 03:58 |
| Guest9790 | so i wondering if for the next few days until i buy the proper cable if could combine both pcs to increase processing speed... | 03:58 |
| artichoku | it would take you more than a few days, i'm betting to set it up | 03:59 |
| Guest9790 | why? | 03:59 |
| artichoku | what ports do you have for vid on your desktop? | 03:59 |
| mike024 | Guest9790: Hooking them up to do that probably won't work. You need too high of bandwidth between the computers to make it work it. | 04:00 |
| Guest9790 | pl | 04:00 |
| Guest9790 | oops ok | 04:00 |
| Guest9790 | does anyone know how to connect an ubuntu desktop tower to a tv? | 04:00 |
| artichoku | i just plug mine in | 04:01 |
| mike024 | Guest9790: Because the bottleneck is likely your gfx card, not your cpu. And graphics needs even faster connections. | 04:01 |
| Guest9790 | laptop is easy 'cause you just connect the hdmi right click etc. | 04:01 |
| artichoku | does your desktop only have vga port? | 04:01 |
| dr_willis | Guest9790: i just plug the vga or hdmi cable in and it works... ;) | 04:01 |
| mike024 | Guest9790: Are you sure that you have the right drivers and such installed on your laptop? Tuning your laptop that way should help | 04:01 |

| Guest9790 | artichoku: yeah it does... but just wondering why the hdmi cable connection doesn't work well, i mean it's sending a signal but it's just garbled fuzziness... (lemme read your posts just a moment) | 04:02 |
| dr_willis | Could be the PC is sending a differnt res/display then what the tv wants. 720p vs 1080 or somthing.. but ive never had that issue. | 04:03 |
| dr_willis | or its a cruddy cable. ;) | 04:03 |
| artichoku | i've had my fair share of cruddy cables | 04:03 |
| artichoku | if it ain't gold, don't bother | 04:03 |
| Guest9790 | dr_willis: perhaps a cruddy cable... but i have several around the house and have used them all | 04:03 |
| dr_willis | Ive had some nice Looking heavy cables.. give me issues with some tvs. | 04:04 |
| mike024 | Guest9790: HDMI either works or it doesn't. It is a digital signal. Your settings are the issue. | 04:04 |
| Guest9790 | so i'm thinking that there's a res/display signal issue | 04:04 |
| Guest9790 | how do i change the settings on a desktop? | 04:04 |
| artichoku | nvidia or ati? what version of ubuntu? | 04:04 |
| Guest9790 | i mean i'll do the research myself | 04:04 |
| dr_willis | I just use the nvidia-settings tool. ;) | 04:04 |
| Guest9790 | artichoku: it's an intel g31 or somesuch | 04:04 |
| Guest9790 | or at least that what it says in the terminal | 04:05 |
| dr_willis | but really with plugging into a tv thee days over hdmi. it should work the same as a pc monitor - it 'should' just work. | 04:05 |
| Guest9790 | dr_willis: thanks | 04:05 |
| Guest9790 | artichoku: thanks | 04:05 |
| dr_willis | Only issue ive had with tv's as monitors are normally dealing with 'overscan' or having fancy tv features like dynamic color/brightness that work well for movies.. but cause issues with text/desktop type images. | 04:05 |
| Guest9790 | i just need to google how to tweek my settings and not a bigger deal about this than needs to be made :P | 04:06 |
| Guest9790 | thanks folks | 04:06 |

| detrimental | i just installed ubuntu server and got ssh working properly since my ip is static is there anyway to find out my current ip if im not where my server is located? | 04:08 |
| mike024 | Guest9790: I have a really nice screen, but when using the wrong settings on the TV, everything was fuzzy and yuck. Once I got the right settings everything was crisp and beautiful | 04:09 |
| artichoku | VegaMan: do sudo apt-get install fglrx | 04:10 |
| mike024 | detrimenatal: You can ssh in? Install lynx and type lynx google.com then search for "what is my ip" and see what google tells you. That is if you are behind NAT. If you aren't just do a "ifconfig" and see what the ip is | 04:10 |
| detrimental | ok but i mean if im not where my server is located. i can ssh in while in in the network but outside ill need to use the ip not local ip | 04:11 |
| mike024 | detrimental: so you are using nat? | 04:12 |
| detrimental | im not sure what nat is | 04:12 |
| mike024 | detrimental: you will have to forward port 22 in your router to port 22 of your static private ip | 04:12 |
| mike024 | detrimental: is your server ip 192.168.* or 10.*? | 04:12 |
| detrimental | its 198.168.*.* | 04:13 |
| dr_willis | or set the router to forwa4rd some high port like 5555 to port 22 on the internal lan to the right ip# | 04:13 |
| dr_willis | then you ssh to you external ip, on that port. and it gets rerouted to the internal port/pc | 04:14 |
| dr_willis | one way to have several ssh servers on the lan you an get to. ;) | 04:14 |
| mike024 | detrimental: Ok. So you are using NAT. I have a computer at my house with the same IP as your server's IP. That IP is private to your network. Now you router has a public IP that the world can address. | 04:14 |
| detrimental | but where the ip changes is there anyway of always knowing what it is | 04:14 |
| detrimental | ok | 04:14 |
| dr_willis | detrimental: dynamicdns type services exist. | 04:14 |
| mike024 | detrimental: You will want to look into a dynamic ip service. You can get that for free | 04:14 |
| detrimental | ok thank you very much | 04:14 |
| dr_willis | detrimental: on the internal side of the lan. you may want to set all pcs to use static ips that dont change. | 04:15 |
| detrimental | ill contact my isp | 04:15 |
| VegaMan_ | thanks artichoku rebooting to see if it works | 04:15 |
| mike024 | dr_willis: why go to the hassle? Just make sure your DHCP doesn't hand out your server address? | 04:15 |
| dr_willis | isp has no controll over your intERNAL lan. | 04:15 |
| detrimental | yes. i am going to change my internal lan to dynamic | 04:15 |
| dr_willis | mike024: i got 5+ differnt servers. ;) my router can assign ip based on mac. makes it eeasy for me to keep the straight. | 04:16 |
| detrimental | thank you | 04:16 |
| detrimental | dr_willis | 04:16 |
| artichoku | np VegaMan | 04:16 |
| mike024 | detrimental: Google dynamic dns service. You can probably get one for free | 04:16 |
| Pourya | You have to contact ISP and pay something extra to get an static IP | 04:16 |
| Pourya | but usually the IP doesnt change that often... | 04:16 |
| artichoku | detri no-ip.com | 04:16 |
| artichoku | i've used them b4 | 04:16 |
| dr_willis | Im refering to the INTERNAL on the lan ip #'s you an make them static or other ways fixed to save hassles. | 04:16 |
| detrimental | ok thanks | 04:17 |
| dr_willis | then theres a dozen ways to get your ip if it ever changes from the isp. | 04:17 |
| detrimental | dr_willis i know what you mean make sure my routers not assigning changing ips | 04:17 |
| dr_willis | no real need to pay a lot of extra ## to hav3e the isp do a static ip. | 04:17 |
| dr_willis | if they even do that. | 04:17 |
| artichoku | oh they do it, and it's a fortune, lol | 04:17 |
| mike024 | dr_willis: if you have clients other than servers on your network(and it is a simple network) it is easier to just assign part of your range to dhcp and use the other as static. I have a simple network at home of 10.10.10.* as clients and 10.10.11.* as my kvm server with LOTS of static ip vms. It makes administration easy and I don't need any decent networking equipment(not that I don't want it hah, gigabit is too expensive though) | 04:17 |

| Karlito | I was wondering what linux distro would work best for watching videos? | 04:25 |
| Karlito | something extremely light | 04:25 |
| Karlito | for a desktop | 04:25 |
| Karlito | lol | 04:25 |
| RollinV2 | xbmc linux | 04:26 |
| Karlito | perhaps someone can recommend to me a website | 04:26 |
| dr_willis | Karlito: theres xbmc-focused live cd/disrtos. | 04:26 |
| dr_willis | Karlito: depends on how/what you are watching | 04:26 |
| Karlito | so i can read descriptions of your suggestion and others | 04:26 |
| dr_willis | and the system specs. ;) | 04:26 |
| Karlito | dr_willis: i know that linux mint is equipped to handle any kind of media you throw at it | 04:26 |
| Karlito | but it's kinda crapy | 04:27 |
| CrypticSquared | in what way? | 04:27 |
| dr_willis | Karlito: ive rarely found anything i couldent watch in most any linux disrto out there. | 04:27 |
| dr_willis | its all in the details of what and how you are watching stuff... | 04:27 |
| dr_willis | xbmc on ubuntu works well | 04:27 |
| Karlito | dr_willis i like viisting those crappy free movie tv sites that require codecs and stuff | 04:27 |
| dr_willis | then theres good old vlc and other media players. | 04:27 |
| dr_willis | Karlito: cant say ive seen a site that requires special codecs.. other then silverlight | 04:28 |
| Karlito | i was led to believe by a linux mint user that the only way around opening the terminal to install stuff would be to use linux mint | 04:28 |
| RollinV2 | Karlito, sounds like you want a media center solution. go for xbmc, vlc, plex | 04:28 |
| dr_willis | sounds like you shouldent be taking advice from mint users... | 04:28 |
| dr_willis | and yes.. learn the terminal... | 04:29 |
| dr_willis | it will pay off big time in the long run | 04:29 |
| RollinV2 | Karlito, do not be afraid of the terminal. it is your friend but you dont know it yet | 04:29 |
| RollinV2 | terminal is so fast once you learn it | 04:29 |
| Karlito | i bookmarked commands and worked partly through a command line manual :P | 04:29 |
| RollinV2 | good job | 04:30 |
| Karlito | RollinV2: perhaps you can recommend a more user friendly command line manual/user guide? | 04:30 |
| dr_willis | was showing off at work to guys doing tasks that would take them forever in the gui.. that took about 20 sec on the terminal. | 04:30 |
| Karlito | RollinV2: thnx | 04:30 |
| Karlito | dr_willis: lol | 04:30 |
| RollinV2 | Karlito, start learning about bashrc and aliases | 04:31 |
| artichoku | lol, most of the programs i use don't even have a gui | 04:31 |
| artichoku | or even install for that matter | 04:31 |
| artichoku | ./ ftw | 04:31 |
| RollinV2 | the extract alias for the win | 04:32 |
| Karlito | i've installed stuff using the command line but it was basically cut and pasting what someone in a forum told me to | 04:32 |
| RollinV2 | i cant even remember the last time i actually used the tar, zip, gz commands | 04:32 |
| dr_willis | im on a console only system right now. | 04:32 |

| Crell | Hi folks. I'm mid-upgrade of a 10.04 LTS server to 12.04 LTS. However, I am getting errors that many packages cannot be configured due to dependency issues. | 04:34 |
| Crell | They are mostly Perl packages by the looks of it, except a few like git and mysql(?). | 04:35 |
| Karlito | RollinV2: ok thanks master | 04:35 |
| artichoku | Crell, they may be being replaced by updated packages | 04:35 |
| Crell | When I try to dpkg-reconfigure a few of them, I get an error that a particular symbol is missing. | 04:35 |
| RollinV2 | dcrell force install the apps. that will install the dependencies (as long as they are part of the 12.04 repos) | 04:35 |
| RollinV2 | sorry, that was for Crell | 04:35 |
| Crell | RollinV2: aptitude install perl-modules --force? | 04:35 |

| artichoku | lol @ proprietary OS from the "Hackers" movie | 04:41 |
| artichoku | and the excitement about a 28.8kbps modem | 04:41 |
| t640 | 28.8 used to be enough to host fserv's | 04:41 |
| Crell | RollinV2: Hm, no dice. It looks like the problem is some packages want Perl 5.10, but Perl 5.14 is what 12.04 wants to install. | 04:41 |
| Crell | And it's getting lost in the middle. | 04:41 |
| Karlito | is there a book on how to be a linux badass and do cool stuff like talk to people on irc using 3 monitors like chris pirillo, play video games on a 4th and surf the web all at the same time | 04:41 |

| cmell | VegaMan_, what kind of sound card? | 04:52 |
| Karlito | t640: wait i have a nook simple touch w/ e-ink | 04:52 |
| VegaMan_ | built into my gfx card | 04:52 |
| artichoku | VegaMan, anything under "Additional Drivers"? | 04:52 |
| cmell | VegaMan_, does lspci show it? | 04:53 |
| Muphrid | I cant recall of that antifeature although Im not in kde anymore | 04:53 |
| Karlito | cool t640 found a rooting manual | 04:53 |
| VegaMan_ | "hardware drivers?" no i installed all there | 04:53 |
| t640 | if the e-ink version is arm, it should work on that too | 04:53 |
| t640 | might need some graphics tweaks | 04:53 |
| VegaMan_ | yes cmell | 04:54 |
| cmell | VegaMan_, what does lspci say about it? | 04:54 |
| Karlito | t640: sorry, arm? | 04:54 |
| t640 | arm processor | 04:54 |
| t640 | 800MHz Texas Instruments OMAP 3 processor on the e-ink version | 04:55 |
| Karlito | t640: nook simple touch has a 800 Mhz ARM Cortex-A8-based TI OMAP | 04:55 |
| Karlito | yeah | 04:55 |
| Karlito | so than will it work? | 04:56 |
| dctrd | i saw on the news that ubuntu is a spyware os | 04:56 |
| Karlito | figure i'll devote doing something remotely cooler than being too lazy to try out new distros on my pc and test out connecting to my new tv | 04:56 |
| artichoku | i can't waint til windows 8 supports ARM processing | 04:57 |

| jmb70056 | Okay i got the user accounts hidden in the main login screen but how do you hide them in the drop down menu once you login | 04:57 |
| Karlito | t640: is there a safe way to test out running it without bricking it or some other unwanted outcome? | 04:57 |
| dctrd | is it true ? | 04:57 |
| aeon-ltd | dctrd: that's a lie, though if someone remastered ubuntu it could have spyware or any kind of snooping set up. | 04:58 |
| cmell | VegaMan_, that sounds more lspci doesn't see any sound card | 04:58 |
| aeon-ltd | dctrd: official ubuntu is fine, if you're really paranoid you can start from server then run through every pkg yourself. | 04:58 |
| VegaMan_ | wiat nvm found it cmell :01:00.1 Audio device: Advanced Micro Devices [AMD] nee ATI Device aab0 | 04:58 |
| artichoku | aeon, real-time? roger that? return? | 04:58 |

| dctrd | or damage the HDD ? | 04:59 |
| dctrd | ? | 04:59 |
| aeon-ltd | dctrd: yes, you'd have to reduce the size of others to make space | 04:59 |
| RollinV2 | dctrd, it may affect the boot loader | 04:59 |
| bazhang | dctrd, NO | 04:59 |
| Karlito | hi bazhang | 05:00 |
| aeon-ltd | dctrd: damage? unlikely, but of course there's the standard miniscule chance that a write might not go so well. | 05:00 |
| Crell | RollinV2: Any other suggestions? The -f didn't work. | 05:00 |
| Karlito | he seems nice enough | 05:00 |
| RollinV2 | Crell, im out of ideas. -f always worked for me. but ive never jumped that many version ahead in one update. | 05:01 |
| dctrd | ok and if i get a hard drive thats not included with the primary one | 05:01 |
| bazhang | Karlito, please take chit chat to #ubuntu-offtopic this is support only | 05:01 |
| dctrd | will it still affect it? | 05:01 |
| Crell | RollinV2: According to what I read, LTS->LTS is what you're supposed to do. | 05:01 |
| aeon-ltd | dctrd: no, but you can't boot linux with the windows bootloader. | 05:01 |

| cmell | dctrd, any linux is capable of wrecking the mode pages on a harddrive, if terrible errors occur | 05:01 |
| aeon-ltd | dctrd: unless you installed within windows with wubi | 05:01 |
| RollinV2 | dctrd, if your data is important. you should backup to another harddrive before editing partitions or installing ubuntu. always be safe. | 05:02 |

| RollinV2 | getchu, unlike windows, ubuntu allows for multiple deskop interfaces to be installed and switched at the login screen. so you could have unity, gnome2, and gnome3 configs to test your preferences | 05:41 |
| zenlike | Or the lovely xmonad | 05:41 |
| dr_willis | jwm ! ;) | 05:41 |
| dr_willis | From the user friendly to the really really out there window managers. | 05:42 |
| getchu | okay,I would like to choose gnome2 | 05:43 |
| Karlito | whatchu talkin' 'bout willis?! | 05:43 |
| dr_willis | !classic | 05:44 |
| ubottu | The default interface in Ubuntu 11.04 is !Unity. To switch back to regular !GNOME: log out, click your username, click the Session box at the bottom of the screen, and select "Ubuntu Classic". For 11.10, see !notunity | 05:44 |
| dr_willis | !fallback | 05:44 |
| dr_willis | Gnome2 is dead basically. ;) theres a gnome-2-like fallback mode for newer releases | 05:44 |
| dr_willis | !nounity | 05:44 |
| ubottu | Ubuntu 11.10 and higher use GNOME 3 with the !unity shell by default. To use GNOME Shell instead, install the "gnome-shell" package and investigate "gnome-tweak-tool". For GNOME Fallback mode, which is similar to GNOME 2, install "gnome-panel". Both packages will place entries in the Sessions dropdown. Using Natty? See !classic | 05:44 |

| detrimental | i installed ubuntu server with ssh and i am on my ssh server from my laptop. i am having trouble copying the rsa key on my laptop while already logged into my server | 05:50 |
| Jkessler | any xorg.conf wizards? i am working with it remotely :( .. the machine has a ATI 5770 and a Sceptre E32 TV via HDMI. Thanks in advance. | 05:50 |
| detrimental | when i use copy-id user@host it times out | 05:50 |
| RollinV2 | detrimental, explain what you mean by copying | 05:50 |
| cmell | Jkessler, I know a little bit | 05:51 |
| detrimental | in the guide it says i can use the command ssh-copy-id user@host to copy rsa key to the computer once connected via ssh | 05:51 |
| detrimental | i am logged in my server with my laptop and trying to transpher rsa key | 05:52 |
| detrimental | so i can disable pws all together | 05:52 |
| cmell | Jkessler, what part of the xorg.conf do you have a question about? | 05:52 |
| Jkessler | cmell, I should install openssh. was using teamviewer. any ideas how i can get him back into X? | 05:52 |
| Jkessler | i moved xorg.conf to xorg.bak and tried a conf that i thought would work | 05:53 |
| Jkessler | i had him reboot into recovery mode, had him move back the xorg.bak to xorg.conf and he is still getting a black screen. can get recovery menus, that's it | 05:53 |
| RollinV2 | detrimental, if your ssh port is open you can scp the key to your laptop | 05:53 |
| RollinV2 | detrimental, try doing that. also check your folder and file permissions. | 05:54 |
| detrimental | you mean the ssh port on the machine im trying to transpher to? | 05:54 |
| cmell | Jkessler, that's the first time I've heard of that | 05:54 |
| detrimental | looking into scp now | 05:54 |
| Jkessler | cmell: i know. i'm puzzled. he maybe typoed the command | 05:55 |
| Jkessler | but he's on his laptop so it's hard to copy and paste.. he's not a typer | 05:55 |
| Muphrid | Jkessler: maybe running Xorg -configure ? | 05:55 |
| Jkessler | Muphrid, I did that and tried reinstalling proprietary drivers and it said i had a bad xorg.conf | 05:56 |
| Jkessler | so i reverted to what we had before | 05:56 |
| Muphrid | what ubuntu version is it? | 05:56 |
| Jkessler | 12.04 x64 desktop | 05:56 |
| Muphrid | there is also an ati command in the proprietary driver, i think it is ati-config --initial | 05:57 |
| Jkessler | err yup. Xorg -configure failed | 05:57 |
| Jkessler | it was the ati-config --inital command that produced the 'bad' xorg.conf | 05:57 |
| Muphrid | mm | 05:57 |
| Jkessler | according to the restricted drivers | 05:57 |
| cmell | Jkessler, do they need hw accelaration? | 05:58 |
| Muphrid | what if u uninstall the proprietary driver | 05:58 |
| Muphrid | and then Xorg -configure again | 05:58 |
| Jkessler | yeah, he wants to game through wine and mine.. | 05:58 |
| nicknefarious | Hey all... Can anyone help me with theming? | 05:58 |
| Muphrid | nicknefarious: whats up with that | 05:59 |
| Jkessler | Muphrid, how do i do that from command line again? modprobe command? | 05:59 |
| nicknefarious | I have just installed GnomishDark a dark theme... | 05:59 |
| Muphrid | Jkessler: probably sudo apt-get purge fglrx | 05:59 |
| nicknefarious | Some apps appear with white on white.... | 05:59 |
| Jkessler | ok, i'll have him try that. thanks | 05:59 |
| cmell | Jkessler, I was just thinking that to get it running for a while you could change the xorg.conf to the vesa driver, and after that you could go for the ati drivers | 06:00 |
| EwfsPrince | Hi a general networking question. I'm running a proxy server for a few game servers that allow server to server telportation. I'm binding the servers locally to a public IP but I have the ports blocked and the only way to connect to any of the servers is via the hub proxy server. Because it's bind to a public IP is the proxy server routing locally automatically because it recognises its using | 06:00 |
| EwfsPrince | an IP it owns or is it routing through the internet. I know accessing your own server via your own IP won't work however it seems to be working fine so I'm a bit confused. | 06:00 |
| Jkessler | cmell: do you have a command? I muddle through the display problems for myself and never work with it | 06:00 |
| Jkessler | once mine works, i leave it alone for a few years. hah | 06:00 |
| Muphrid | nicknefarious: any screenshot? | 06:00 |
| cmell | Jkessler, "nano xorg.conf"? | 06:01 |
| nicknefarious | @Muphrid... please give me a sec... | 06:01 |
| Jkessler | yeah, but what do i edit to change to vesa? | 06:02 |
| Jkessler | i'm not looking at his file anymore | 06:02 |
| Jkessler | probably starting a new one | 06:02 |
| cmell | Jkessler, in the xorg.conf, there should be a section that says {Section "Device"} | 06:02 |
| Jkessler | i'll have him wget a pastebin if there's a generic | 06:03 |
| cmell | Jkessler, immediately under that, there should be a line that says {Driver} change the driver it specifies to "vesa" | 06:03 |
| nicknefarious | @ Muphrid... how can I send you a screenshot? | 06:03 |
| ramon | when you using the Grub menu and chose to do a "repair broken packages" does it take long?...cause i dont know if i have to wait for a confirmation when the repairing is done | 06:04 |
| Jkessler | cmell, i'll try that too. thanks Muphrid too. got a few options | 06:04 |
| Muphrid | just put it on tinypic | 06:04 |
| cmell | Jkessler, if you look online for a file called "xorg.conf-vesa", you can just rename it to xorg.conf | 06:05 |
| Muphrid | nicknefarious: but you mean the bg is white and text is white aswell? | 06:06 |

| nicknefarious | @ Muphrid No... | 06:10 |
| Muphrid | not sure then never heard of that program | 06:10 |
| nicknefarious | @Muphrid point is I don't kniow where to go to change the look or colour of specific apps | 06:11 |
| Muphrid | nicknefarious: i dont think you can change it individually | 06:12 |

| moon` | so I did sudo apt-get update and now when I logon my screen resolution is all screwed up. I went to nvidia x server settings and it says 'You do not appear to be using the nvidia x driver' Please edit your X configuration file (just run nvidia x-config as root) | 07:02 |
| moon` | typing nvidia x-config in terminal doesn't do anything though | 07:02 |
| dr_willis | moon`: reinstall the nvidia drivers perhaps? | 07:03 |
| moon` | giver her a shot! | 07:03 |
| rkhshm | Dr_Willis: http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Wi-Fi_Direct | 07:04 |
| dr_willis | i got no web browser handy. ;) | 07:04 |
| rkhshm | lol.. | 07:04 |
| dr_willis | On my Raspberry Pi - on the console.. | 07:04 |
| dr_willis | Silent COmputing! ;P | 07:04 |
| rkhshm | yeah its sort of a ad-hoc network .. it bypasses the router and requries no AP | 07:04 |
| Muphrid | moon`: what is the output of nvidia x-config ? | 07:04 |
| dr_willis | sounds exactly like an ad-hoc network. ;P | 07:04 |
| dr_willis | with a fancy sony name? | 07:05 |
| moon` | nvidia command not found | 07:05 |
| dr_willis | I was thinking id read/seen where not all wifi cards/drivers support ad-hoc network. but i cant site a source of that. | 07:05 |
| dr_willis | moon`: err.. theres no nvidia command. ;) how did you install your nvidia drivers befor? | 07:05 |
| moon` | with ubuntu software center I think | 07:06 |
| dr_willis | moon`: you should be able to 'sudo apt-get install nvidia-current' to verify/reinstall them.. | 07:07 |
| moon` | nvidia-current is already the latest version | 07:07 |
| moon` | err newest version | 07:07 |
| Muphrid | moon`: did you install nvidia-legacy and current at the same time? | 07:08 |
| dr_willis | Hmm. Im out of ideas then. Other then to remove/reinstall them.. You could try booting an older kenrel at the grub menu also as a test.. if the older kernel works.. but a newer one dosent. that points to a bug somewhere | 07:08 |
| moon` | I don't think so, this all came about because I'm trying to get eveonline to work in wine. I installed mesa 7.xx something and rebooted and this happened | 07:09 |
| moon` | Muphrid: I was going to install legacy but it wouldn't let me, said the version of legacy wasn't supported by my GPU | 07:09 |
| dr_willis | Im not even sure why you would need to install mesa | 07:09 |
| moon` | which isn't what the documentation told me on the nvidia site | 07:09 |
| Muphrid | moon`: what is your gpu model? | 07:09 |
| moon` | 7950 GT | 07:09 |
| moon` | I kept getting an error when I would run eve saying I need SM3 support to run the game but the 7950's I have do supprt s3 | 07:10 |
| moon` | sm3 | 07:10 |
| moon` | so I was looking at work around's and one of the ones I came across said to install mesa reboot and everything worked for them | 07:11 |
| moon` | well now my resolution is like 600x800 and I can't open my nvidia x-config settings manager to change it | 07:11 |
| SpamapS | Somebody please tell me this isn't true.. http://askubuntu.com/questions/13758/how-can-i-edit-create-new-launcher-items-in-unity-by-hand | 07:11 |
| Muphrid | moon`: ok, so, it was working until you installed nvidia from software center? | 07:12 |
| moon` | No it was working until I installed mesa, did sudo apt-get update and rebooted | 07:12 |
| SpamapS | all of the answers are.. *crazy* complicated and most don't work on 12.10 :-P | 07:12 |
| thufir_ | how many MB in a DVD? I'm using DAR archiver and creating slices, and want, let's say, ten slices per DVD. how many MB per slice? | 07:13 |
| Muphrid | moon`: so youre using mesa for 3d? | 07:14 |
| jcbv | i need some help with my crappy ati 200m driver i guess its dead any work arounds | 07:14 |
| NorahAura | SpamapS: I found a similar complexity with xfce on Ubuntu Studio, however, there was a third party GUI menu editor I was able to eventually locate, maybe there is something similar for Unity? | 07:15 |
| moon` | whoops | 07:15 |
| jcbv | can i ask a question | 07:15 |
| moon` | FOR THE LOVE OF GOD JUST ASK JCBV DON'T ASK IF YOU CAN | 07:15 |
| moon` | ffs | 07:15 |
| moon` | sorry | 07:15 |
| NorahAura | jcbv: yes, please | 07:15 |
| moon` | little vodka in me tonight | 07:16 |
| NorahAura | moon: lolz | 07:16 |
| MonkWitDaFunk | jcbv. do you have a driver you need to install? | 07:16 |
| jcbv | anyone know whats the earliest version of ubuntu will run gnome 3.6 | 07:16 |
| NorahAura | so, moon, y are you using mesa? | 07:16 |
| moon` | Cause that's what the workaround I read said to use | 07:17 |
| NorahAura | moon: for what issue, may I ask? | 07:17 |
| moon` | I don't actually ever know what I'm doing when it comes to linux. The majority of my fixes come from 'UH OH! Problem' *google problem* *find solution* *copy paste solution into terminal* and then go from there | 07:17 |
| moon` | I'd probably have more success beating my head against the keyboard but I'm to much of a sissy for that | 07:18 |
| jcbv | im ticked | 07:18 |
| moon` | Trying to get eveonline to work NorahAura | 07:18 |
| NorahAura | moon: I am an expert googler... maybe my google ninja skills can help? | 07:18 |
| jcbv | ok i got my cube running cool with this this gnome 3.6 classic | 07:18 |
| moon` | I need some expert ubuntu-fix-newb-screw-up-skillz | 07:18 |
| moon` | not googler skillz =) | 07:18 |
| jcbv | on one pc but my laptop wont do the cube | 07:19 |
| jcbv | darn ati driver | 07:19 |
| MonkWitDaFunk | jcbv, do you need to pay for a driver? | 07:20 |
| Muphrid | moon`: what was the mesa package you installed? | 07:20 |
| jcbv | pay this is opensource linux go joint all the mactards or windows weenies for some tea or something | 07:21 |
| moon` | Muphrid: this is the command I ran that fubared everything :sudo add-apt-repository ppa:xorg-edgers/ppa | 07:21 |
| moon` | then I did a sudo apt-get update and a reboot and now here I am | 07:21 |
| Muphrid | moon`: this is a ppa for xorg testers/developers not users | 07:21 |
| Muphrid | you can revert the changes with ppa-purge | 07:22 |
| NorahAura | moon: ugh... yeah... stuff you don't want unless you are testing and such | 07:22 |
| NorahAura | Muphrid: thx, ditto! | 07:22 |
| Muphrid | if your driver does not require the latest version | 07:22 |
| jcbv | who knows the bigggest reason no apps are on linux | 07:22 |
| NorahAura | jcbv : lots of apps are on linux, what kind are you looking for? | 07:22 |
| moon` | so what sudo ppa-purge xorg-edgers? | 07:23 |
| moon` | I hope so cause I just typed that in | 07:23 |
| jcbv | dude i been through em all man they blow turds | 07:23 |
| Muphrid | no | 07:23 |
| moon` | well poop | 07:23 |
| Muphrid | you have to install ppa-purge and then | 07:23 |
| moon` | well yeah I did that | 07:23 |
| Muphrid | sudo ppa-purge ppa:xorg-edgers/ppa | 07:23 |
| Muphrid | full ppa address | 07:23 |
| jcbv | i just love my linux desktop though im brainwashed by linux | 07:24 |
| NorahAura | jcbv: do you have a Q? or just wanna complain? | 07:24 |
| jcbv | yeah i have a big question | 07:24 |
| moon` | well that sudo ppa-purge ppa:xorg-edgers/ppa didn't work but sudo ppa-purge xorg edgers did so I'm running with that | 07:24 |
| jcbv | whats the eariest version of ubuntu that will run gnome 3.6 | 07:25 |
| Muphrid | moon`: Not sure why but ok then | 07:25 |
| moon` | =) | 07:25 |
| jcbv | cause i need compiz cube with gnome 3.6 on crappy ati 200m | 07:25 |
| somsip | jcbv: this should tell you, but it's PPA and not supported https://launchpad.net/~gnome3-team/+archive/gnome3 | 07:26 |
| NorahAura | Muphrid - would moon hafta do an apt-get update and reboot, I would guess? | 07:26 |
| aeon-ltd | jcbv: any that can satisfy the dependencies and not have any conflicts | 07:26 |
| MonkWitDaFunk | whats a compiz cube? | 07:26 |
| somsip | MonkWitDaFunk: effect when you change workspaces; http://blogs.pcworld.co.nz/pcworld/tux-love/compiz_cube.jpg | 07:26 |
| Muphrid | NorahAura: apt-get update only fetches data from the repository, it doesnt modify anything. upgrade is not needed with ppa-purge although it doesnt hurt if youre paranoid | 07:26 |
| Muphrid | reboot is still necessary | 07:27 |
| jcbv | i dont know what to do i suck at linux lol | 07:28 |
| jcbv | i think 10.04 supports it but maybe not | 07:29 |
| somsip | jcbv: I've given you a link to the answer about gnome 3.6/ The answer is 'quantal, and 3.6 PPA is not supported here' | 07:30 |
| === Logan__ is now known as Logan_ | ||
| subdesign | anyone know is there a problem with Intel GMA3600 series yet, with ubuntu? | 07:31 |
| NorahAura | Muphrid: ahh... good to know, and yes, I am a bit paranoid... lolz | 07:31 |
| moon` | hmm neither one of those worked Muphrid | 07:32 |
| moon` | Warning: Could not find package list for PPA: xorg-edgers ppa | 07:32 |
| anli__ | If I had to kill an apt-get process, how do I unlock /var/lib/dpkg afterwards? | 07:32 |
| MonkWitDaFunk | subdesign, which ubuntu are you trying to install? | 07:32 |
| NorahAura | somsip: I would like that link you found... was just on the hunt for it, wonder if I was close | 07:32 |
| somsip | anli__: sudo apt-get clean | 07:32 |
| Muphrid | moon`: yeah thats why you should put ppa:xorg-edgers/ppa instead | 07:32 |
| jcbv | crap | 07:32 |
| anli__ | somsip: thanks! | 07:32 |
| somsip | NorahAura: what link? Gnome 3.6 PPA? | 07:33 |
| jcbv | anyway to install ati drivers on outaded hardware | 07:33 |
| subdesign | MonkWitDaFunk, I'm just asking, I'm before buying.. | 07:33 |
| NorahAura | somsip: yes, please | 07:33 |
| Muphrid | jcbv: what version of ubuntu? | 07:33 |
| somsip | NorahAura: https://launchpad.net/~gnome3-team/+archive/gnome3 | 07:33 |

| NorahAura | somsip: that's where I was... where did you find the OS version support info... I am blind tonight | 07:34 |
| Muphrid | moon`: huh, either there is a typo or it got somehow removed from software sources | 07:34 |
| anli__ | Seems liike /var/cache/debconfig/config.dat still is locked | 07:34 |
| milamber | moon`: installing the ppa, running sudo apt-get update, and restarting would not have caused the problem you are describing. did you install a package from that ppa? and if you want help please pastebin the contents of your sources.list file | 07:34 |
| NorahAura | somsip: nm, I found it | 07:35 |
| somsip | NorahAura: the bit where it says what version of Gnome....ah, ok | 07:35 |
| ASHER1 | Hello i want please ask the question i have linux mint 13 and i want change to ubuntu how i did this? | 07:35 |
| Muphrid | jcbv: it should be installable through "additional drivers" in 12.04 | 07:35 |
| jcbv | its empty | 07:35 |
| jcbv | nothing there | 07:35 |
| jcbv | card is not supported | 07:36 |
| jcbv | actually | 07:36 |
| moon` | how do I do that milamber? | 07:36 |
| Muphrid | mmm | 07:36 |
| moon` | and no that truly is all I did | 07:36 |
| milamber | anli__: http://en.kioskea.net/faq/810-unblocking-apt-get | 07:36 |
| moon` | ahhh, the patience of those involved in tech support must know no end | 07:36 |
| Muphrid | moon`: post your sources here http://pastebin.com/ | 07:36 |
| milamber | !pastebin > moon` | 07:37 |
| ubottu | moon`, please see my private message | 07:37 |
| ASHER1 | ? | 07:37 |
| milamber | ASHER1: linux mint is not supported here and there is no quick changeover, download an ubuntu iso and do a fresh install | 07:37 |
| ASHER1 | but i have problem with install ubuntu if i download ubuntu i see error | 07:38 |
| somsip | ASHER1: just install Ubuntu on the partitions used by Mint to overwrite eveyrthing and start from scratch. If you don't want to start from scratch, backup the files you want to keep. Don't expect much interoperability | 07:38 |
| ASHER1 | ? | 07:40 |
| moon` | =/ hrm I don't know how to open/view the contets of sources.list | 07:40 |
| aeon-ltd | moon`: text editor? | 07:40 |
| Crell | nano is your friend. | 07:40 |
| Muphrid | moon`: /etc/apt/sources.list it shoujld ve viewable with gedit | 07:41 |

| skimini | Hi ...the live usb I'm creating with 'persistent' option, is not actually working as 'persistent'. Have tried numerous times with Unetbootin and with Linux Live USB. Any ideas please? | 07:43 |
| moon` | gedit was what I needed, I knew more linux commands when I ran gentoo but I haven't used linux for the better part of 2 years now =/ | 07:43 |
| jcbv | gnome 3 blows or what | 07:43 |
| milamber | moon`: can you provide a link to the "fix" site you were using? what tutorial were you trying to follow? | 07:44 |
| moon` | http://community.eveonline.com/ingameboard.asp?a=topic&threadID=1534033 | 07:45 |
| moon` | scroll all the way to the bottom | 07:45 |
| moon` | last post by khardia | 07:45 |
| jcbv | i guess no hope for me | 07:45 |
| moon` | all I did was install mesa and reboot | 07:45 |
| Muphrid | moon`: in reality all you needed is nvidia drivers and playonlinux which has a frontend to eve installation | 07:46 |
| moon` | okay, so in real real reality how do I get it so I can fix my screen resolution and then go that route Muphrid ? | 07:47 |
| moon` | because I already had nvidia drivers | 07:47 |
| chalist | how i can mount a folder in local network like //172.30.12.37/afs/ to my home in terminal? | 07:47 |
| skimini | persistent live usb is not persistent ...can anyone offer any suggestions? | 07:47 |
| milamber | moon`: sorry, i missed the initial response | 07:47 |
| moon` | and eveonline installed the reason I was trying that workaround is I was getting an error saying I needed graphics cards that support Shader Modeling 3.0 | 07:47 |
| chalist | how i can mount a folder in local network like //172.30.12.37/afs/ to my home in terminal? | 07:48 |
| moon` | repeating the question doesn't get it answered faster chalist ffs be patient | 07:48 |
| moon` | you asked your second questions 23 seconds after the first one, how does that help anyone besides annoy them? | 07:48 |
| Muphrid | moon`: what is your xorg version? | 07:49 |
| chalist | moon`, sorry :) | 07:49 |
| milamber | !fstab | chalist | 07:49 |
| ubottu | chalist: The /etc/fstab file indicates how drive partitions are to be used or otherwise integrated into the file system. See https://help.ubuntu.com/community/Fstab and http://www.tuxfiles.org/linuxhelp/fstab.html and !Partitions | 07:49 |
| moon` | I'm sorry you have to walk me through this like a toddler but I don't know how to find out the version mu | 07:49 |
| moon` | Muphrid: rather | 07:49 |
| moon` | I imagine it's the latest up to date | 07:50 |
| milamber | moon`: apt-cache policy xorg | 07:50 |
| Muphrid | apt-cache show xorg | 07:50 |
| jmb70056 | how do i transfer files from one user account to another user account | 07:50 |
| moon` | Installed: 1:7.7+1ubuntu4 | 07:50 |
| Muphrid | ok | 07:50 |
| cmell | "cp" copies files pretty well | 07:51 |
| milamber | jmb70056: can you be more specific? you can sudo cp <file> <directory/to/newfile> (to move use mv instead of cp) | 07:51 |
| MonkWitDaFunk | does anyone have any opinions about clamav or free avg for ubuntu? | 07:51 |
| milamber | jmb70056: if you are worried about permissions and the like, you have to use chown (CHange the OWNer) | 07:52 |
| milamber | !poll | 07:52 |
| ubottu | Usually, there is no single "best" application to perform a given task. It's up to you to choose, depending on your preferences, features you require, and other factors. Do NOT take polls in the channel. If you insist on getting people's opinions, ask BestBot in #ubuntu-bots. | 07:52 |
| milamber | moon`: would you be willing to pastebin the last 30 or so lines from your .bash_history (this is a log of all the commands you have run in the terminal)? | 07:53 |
| MonkWitDaFunk | how do i have a list of all the directories i need to do a free avg full system scan? | 07:53 |
| Muphrid | moon`: what if you uninstall mesa? | 07:53 |
| moon` | milamber: yeah as long as you don't judge me | 07:53 |
| moon` | and where do I find the file milamber | 07:53 |
| chalist | ubottu, i add this folder and has been added in nautilus sidebar. but when i click that, i see an error that "mount: only root can mount" | 07:54 |
| ubottu | chalist: I am only a bot, please don't think I'm intelligent :) | 07:54 |
| Muphrid | moon`: it is in your home folder, hidden file | 07:54 |
| Muphrid | ctrl+h to show up in nautilus | 07:54 |
| milamber | moon`: no judging, the reason i am interested is because the commands you ran are not supposed to change anything. the add repository just adds the repository to the list that is allowed to be downloaded. aptitude update just updates the package list. nothing there downloads or installs any packages. | 07:54 |
| milamber | moon`: nano ~/.bash_profile | 07:54 |
| chalist | milamber, i add this folder and has been added in nautilus sidebar. but when i click that, i see an error that "mount: only root can mount" | 07:55 |
| milamber | moon`: or the way Muphrid said if you prefer the gui :) | 07:55 |
| milamber | chalist: you would have to tell me what command you used to add the folder | 07:55 |
| moon` | gedit ~/.bash_profile is an empty file | 07:56 |
| Muphrid | .bash_history it is | 07:56 |
| jmb70056 | @milamber i just want to transfer a few photos from one account to another account | 07:56 |

| moon` | http://pastebin.com/nTXN2AED | 07:58 |
| moon` | more then you asked for but hopefully helpfull enough | 07:58 |
| moon` | I never actually installed any additional nvidia drivers though there towards the end cause it kept giving me an error saying my GPU wasn't supported by those drivers | 07:59 |
| moon` | and I ended up exiting out of the install window | 07:59 |
| NorahAura | moon`: got distracted researching eveonline, but Muphrid and milamber have you taken care of here - I had the same thought - the tutorial you followed may have updated mesa if you had it previously installed, after adding the ppa, but it does not appear to have a direct command to install mesa, so mesa may not be the culprit | 07:59 |
| moon` | thanks NorahAura | 07:59 |
| moon` | I probably pulled some other dumb move, we'll see | 08:00 |
| moon` | on the flip side I'm really enjoying the camaraderie in here right now | 08:00 |
| NorahAura | moon`: are you able to run x? | 08:02 |
| moon` | I'm in X right now I imagine, ubuntu 12.10 automatically runs X when you start doesn't it? | 08:02 |
| moon` | I mean I'm in a GUI | 08:02 |
| NorahAura | moon`: ok, good | 08:02 |
| Muphrid | yes youre in X | 08:02 |
| milamber | moon`: is the only issue the wrong resolution on the login screen | 08:02 |
| milamber | ? | 08:02 |
| NorahAura | moon`: so, just in low graphics mode right now, correct? | 08:03 |
| moon` | milamber: I can't change resolution in the NVidia X server settings right now | 08:03 |
| NorahAura | moon`: nvidia drivers have always been a bit wonky for me.... this is what works: Goto your Applications Menu>System>Additional Drivers | 08:03 |
| moon` | when I run it, it says you do not appear to be running the nvidia-x driver please edit your configuration file | 08:04 |
| NorahAura | moon`: anything there? | 08:04 |
| moon` | Applications Menu>System Tools | 08:04 |
| moon` | ? | 08:04 |
| Muphrid | moon`: is the package "mesa" installed? | 08:04 |
| moon` | I belive so Muphrid | 08:04 |
| Muphrid | what happens if you try to remove it? | 08:05 |
| moon` | I never unistalled it after installing | 08:05 |
| ranjan | Hi all, How to log every command on terminal to syslog by all users? | 08:05 |
| Muphrid | I noticed it is only in that ppa, not in the repos | 08:05 |
| moon` | lets roll the dice and find out, gimme a command to remove it | 08:05 |
| milamber | moon`: run: lshw -c video | 08:05 |
| Muphrid | sudo apt-get purge mesa | 08:05 |
| NorahAura | moon`: whenever my linux headers get updated, for instance, it screws up my nvidia drivers and I a have to uninstall nvidia, reboot, install nvidia again, reboot | 08:05 |
| milamber | moon`: look for the line with configuration, that will tell us what driver you are actually using | 08:05 |
| Muphrid | moon`: does it ask to remove additional software? | 08:05 |
| NorahAura | moon`: I find it is easiest to install nvidia drivers using ubuntu's "Additional Drivers" installer which is fashioned after mesa was first developed | 08:06 |
| moon` | configuration: latency=0 | 08:06 |
| moon` | Muphrid: no mesa isn't installed | 08:07 |
| milamber | ranjan: http://askubuntu.com/questions/93566/how-to-log-all-bash-commands-by-all-users-on-a-server | 08:08 |
| moon` | milamber: http://pastebin.com/YZD4iWnn | 08:08 |
| NorahAura | moon`: is nvidia listed as currently installed under Menu>Settings/Prefs>Additional Drivers? | 08:08 |
| kernsprog | ranjan: command logs are found at ~/.bash_history | 08:08 |
| moon` | NorahAura: I don't even have a menu>settings/prefs>additional drivers | 08:09 |
| NorahAura | I love this pastebin... haven't been on IRC for quite a while... really nifty :) | 08:09 |
| NorahAura | moon`: oh, sorry, what version of ubuntu are you using again? | 08:10 |
| moon` | 12.10 | 08:10 |
| NorahAura | I am on ubuntu studio' | 08:10 |
| Muphrid | it is in the unity dash or menu | 08:10 |
| NorahAura | which uses xfce | 08:10 |
| NorahAura | yeah, what Muphrid said :) | 08:10 |
| moon` | cinnamon, but it looks more like gnome | 08:10 |
| moon` | let's just say I'm using traditional gnome | 08:11 |
| NorahAura | cinnamon, I thought that was for mint | 08:11 |
| Muphrid | then it should be in "system", else the package name for reference is jockey-gtk | 08:11 |
| kubanc | hellow! Is it possible to resize partitions with gparted. I have 3 partitions on SSD disk. One is for system (10GB), one for home (90GB) and one is left free (10GB) | 08:11 |

| milamber | jmb70056: different user accounts on the same machine? | 08:12 |
| milamber | kubanc: yes, but you have to do it from a live cd | 08:13 |
| jmb70056 | yes | 08:13 |
| NorahAura | ahh... yes, Additional Drivers may not be in your cinnamon menu | 08:13 |
| kubanc | milamber, yes, because right now the partitions are mounted... | 08:13 |
| moon` | no it's not NorahAura =P | 08:13 |
| Muphrid | moon`: just install jockey-gtk if not installed, or run it from a terminal | 08:13 |
| milamber | jmb70056: honestly, the easiest way would probably be to save them to a thumb drive (fat doesn't acknowledge user permissions) and then switch accounts and copy them over | 08:14 |
| NorahAura | moon`: press ALT+F2, then type jockey-gtk | 08:14 |
| ranjan | milamber, let me check that link , thank you. | 08:14 |
| moon` | hold on, installing it | 08:14 |

| joey8 | ky file? | 10:05 |
| llutz | trev_: what filesystem are the files on? non-unix fs like ntfs/vfat? then you cannot use chown/chmod, use mount-options (uid/gid/umask) | 10:07 |
| MonkWitDaFunk | the ext4 filesystem | 10:07 |
| trev_ | ok bye, I'll come back later if I can't the answer elsewhere, my question is back a few pages. | 10:07 |
| llutz | trev_: also check if "noexec" option is set | 10:07 |

| riderplus | in 12.10 gnome 3 everything is up to date but I can't find my keyboard layout on the top panel. if i switch to gnome classic, it shows up | 10:09 |
| riderplus | how can I switch between the different layouts in gnome 3? | 10:09 |
| sets88 | anybody? | 10:09 |
| srhb | riderplus: I personally set a keybinding to do the switching. | 10:10 |
| Mortu | can you tell me where i can get help via activation nvidia drivers in ubuntu 12.04LTS 32bit? THX | 10:10 |
| riderplus | srhb how can I set it? I repeat, the keyboard layout doesn't show up on the top panel in gnome 3 | 10:10 |
| riderplus | it's a known bug | 10:10 |
| MonkWitDaFunk | has anyone ever herd of the linux professional institute. i was wondering if they were widely recognized | 10:10 |
| pianotips | I am trying to install 12.04 (64) from a dvd, during the base install (near the end) it gives me a cannot install the kernel into the target system kernel package 'linux-server'.. can someone help me? | 10:11 |
| thufir_ | LOL. when DAR finishes its run, what's the message to let you know? | 10:11 |
| pianotips | (please :) | 10:11 |
| cub | pianotips, maybe its a bad dvd burn?\ | 10:11 |
| srhb | riderplus: System settings -> Keyboard -> Layout settings -> Options | 10:12 |
| pianotips | cub ill try reburning the dvd | 10:12 |
| cub | yeah sometimes that is the problem | 10:12 |
| MonkWitDaFunk | pianotips, i would do a wipe of the memory disk before i install | 10:12 |
| cub | make sure to format the DVD first | 10:12 |
| cub | Then reburn it.. | 10:12 |
| nicekiwi | 1234656 | 10:12 |
| cub | also make sure the checksum of the ISO matches | 10:13 |
| MonkWitDaFunk | pianotips, is your rom disk bootable? | 10:13 |
| pianotips | checked the checksum.. | 10:13 |
| pianotips | the dvd? yes | 10:13 |
| riderplus | srhb yes it works that way...I'm still wondering when they are going to make that layout visible | 10:13 |
| riderplus | maybe in the next ubuntu edition | 10:14 |

| srhb | riderplus: Personally I find that it crashes most of the time when you install extensions. | 10:14 |
| riderplus | srhb :D so it's a dilemma...then I'll just wait until the fix comes | 10:15 |
| riderplus | another problem is that I've done some updates and now the computer icon is not visible on my desktop | 10:15 |
| riderplus | is there a way to create a shortcut for it? | 10:15 |
| riderplus | I have installed nautilus actions and now I can create launchers for desktop | 10:16 |
| riderplus | but I don't know where the shortcut for "computer" lies | 10:16 |
| riderplus | most of the apps are under /usr/bin | 10:16 |
| MonkWitDaFunk | pianotips, you can try wiping your memory disk if theres any software preventing you from.doing an install | 10:16 |
| cub | hmm | 10:16 |
| cub | computer? | 10:16 |
| riderplus | cub: yes | 10:16 |
| riderplus | it's been disabled in gconf and dconf and gnome-tweak-tool | 10:17 |
| cub | its located under places on the gnome menu | 10:17 |
| riderplus | i'm on gnome 3 | 10:17 |
| riderplus | i've tried gnome classic and saw it there | 10:17 |
| riderplus | when i dragged and dropped it said it's already on the desktop (and showed a blank icon) and asked me if i wanted to merge them | 10:18 |
| riderplus | i said yes but it didn't | 10:18 |
| thufir_ | does this message indicate that DAR is finished with its run, or is it an error? http://article.gmane.org/gmane.comp.sysutils.backup.dar.support/2642 | 10:18 |
| cub | hmm | 10:18 |
| cub | that i'm not sure about riderplus .... i dont have a computer icon on my desktop | 10:19 |
| cub | never needed it | 10:19 |
| cub | i would thought you could drag it there and it would create a shortcut | 10:19 |

| yoga | hi, I tried to install MInt-KDE, I have Windows 8 already on my computer, when asked to choose where to install linux to, I choose manual, but I cannot find the Windowds 8 partition, and it only see the entire disk as free disk to install. Any help? | 10:37 |
| jiwan | hey anyone tell me channel name of linux kernel??????????????? | 10:37 |
| cub | yoga | 10:38 |
| cub | you should check the windows partition while IN windows | 10:38 |
| cub | there is a tool under system management you can use that will show all of your partitions | 10:38 |
| antonio_ | Does anyone know how I can import Helvetica into gimp? | 10:38 |
| cub | note its size and file type | 10:38 |
| MonkWitDaFunk | yoga, if you boot from your ubuntu rom, you can choose to install ubuntu alongside windows | 10:38 |
| jiwan | is there any channel name | 10:38 |
| OerHeks | !mint | yoga | 10:39 |
| ubottu | yoga: Linux Mint is not a supported derivative of Ubuntu. Please seek support in #linuxmint-help on irc.spotchat.org | 10:39 |
| cub | and if it's showing the entire disk.. it might be that you only have one partition.. the windows one.. | 10:39 |
| cub | you would need to resize it in windows.. | 10:39 |
| cub | and backup your data | 10:39 |
| cub | i can tell you now, if you are not extremely careful, you can screw up your windows install | 10:39 |
| MonkWitDaFunk | make.sure you have your windows 8 repair disk | 10:40 |
| cub | and defrag your disk as well | 10:40 |
| MonkWitDaFunk | and your origional upgrade/install disk | 10:40 |
| cub | BEFORE you attempt to install | 10:40 |
| yoga | I already have some free space left for Linux. | 10:41 |
| cub | did you create a partition with that free space? | 10:41 |
| yoga | fdisk /dev/sda shows I have those Windows 8 partitions. | 10:41 |
| cub | you should create a free space partition WITHIN windows | 10:41 |
| cub | okay | 10:41 |
| cub | how many partitions do you have? | 10:41 |
| yoga | cub: I have 3 partitions, one is Windows 8 reserved, second is Windows 8, the third is free. | 10:42 |
| cub | if i remember.. | 10:43 |
| jiwan | hey i need a name, related to kernel channel? | 10:43 |
| cub | u need 2 partitions for linux | 10:43 |
| cub | one for swap | 10:43 |
| cub | and the other for the install | 10:43 |
| cub | i'm going by memory of course, but that may be the reason .. and windows wont let u have more than 4 partitions ? | 10:43 |
| cub | so you cant make the 3rd into 2 | 10:43 |
| yoga | cub: I expect the installer will shows me the free space, and I'll create the swap from there. | 10:43 |
| yoga | cub: the installer don't show me the partition I already have, and just say all the disk is free! | 10:45 |

| gipzo | ikonia, they will be doing this for several weeks... | 11:33 |
| ikonia | gipzo: that seems reasonable, | 11:34 |
| ikonia | gipzo: it will be easier than potentially upgrading your versions to current | 11:34 |
| ikonia | gipzo: more so as there maybe non-shared components on the xen host (I don't know their setup obviously) | 11:34 |
| ikonia | gipzo: it is worth at least asking them if it's possibler | 11:35 |

| iDM | ClockworkSwordfi: Ask | 13:09 |
| iDM | And you shall seek | 13:09 |
| iDM | For Ubuntu yes.. | 13:10 |
| ClockworkSwordfi | Well, yes. | 13:10 |
| Panc | Ciao | 13:13 |
| ClockworkSwordfi | Here's the problem: I have Fedora dual-booted with Windows 7, but I would rather have Xubuntu dual-booted with Windows 7. | 13:14 |
| iDM | So remove Fedora ? | 13:15 |
| iDM | https://sites.google.com/site/easylinuxtipsproject/installation | 13:15 |
| ClockworkSwordfi | Yes, but it does not seem to be that easy. | 13:15 |
| iDM | https://fedoraproject.org/wiki/How_to_uninstall_Fedora | 13:16 |
| iDM | Here | 13:16 |
| MonkeyDust | ClockworkSwordfi use the ubuntu live cd, delete the fedora partition, install ubuntu | 13:16 |
| ovrflw0x | i just install "xfce4-cpufreq-plugin" but how to start it? | 13:16 |
| ovrflw0x | installed* | 13:16 |
| ClockworkSwordfi | That is exactly my problem; the Live installer CAN'T delete the Fedora partition. | 13:17 |
| iDM | ClockworkSwordfi try #fedora | 13:17 |
| Panc | !list | 13:17 |
| ubottu | Panc: 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 ». | 13:17 |
| MonkeyDust | ClockworkSwordfi what happens when you try with gparted? | 13:17 |
| ClockworkSwordfi | It can write over it, but Fedora has 3 partitions (swap, boot, and home) and I can only write over one. | 13:17 |
| Panc | !list | 13:18 |
| CookieM | do that with parted magic | 13:18 |
| ClockworkSwordfi | <MonkeyDust> Exactly the same thing, minus the ability to overwrite. | 13:18 |
| k1l | ClockworkSwordfi: unmount the swap | 13:18 |
| MonkeyDust | ClockworkSwordfi if you can't delete it with ubuntu, for whatever reason, then better ask in the fedora channel | 13:19 |
| ClockworkSwordfi | Hang on, checking up on Fedora uninstall link <iDM> posted. | 13:19 |
| k1l | gparted gets blocked sometimes, when a /swap is mounted. so unmount that and you should be able to remove the partitions you want | 13:20 |
| ClockworkSwordfi | <Monkey Dust>; Will do, just thought I'd ask here first since it is the Ubuntu installer I am working with. | 13:21 |
| ClockworkSwordfi | Fedora guide says do it through Windows; trying that now. | 13:21 |
| ClockworkSwordfi | Alright, Fedora guide tells how to remove Linux entirely. Since I don't need to restore the MBR to not have GRUB anymore, can I just use Windows's Disk Management utility to delete the Fedora partitions and then install from CD? | 13:24 |
| iDM | There you go ClockworkSwordfi | 13:24 |
| iDM | Yes | 13:24 |
| ClockworkSwordfi | That won't screw up the MBR somehow? | 13:25 |
| iDM | Confirm it in Fedora I think so. | 13:25 |
| ClockworkSwordfi | A'ight. | 13:25 |

| auronandace | anh: why would you do that? | 13:51 |
| anh | auronandace: because xubuntu 11.04 does not seems to exist any more | 13:52 |
| jiwan | problem while using fdsik | 13:52 |
| b14d3 | anh: As opposed to just updating? | 13:52 |

| SunMoonStar | Why don't you get the ubuntu 32-bit instead? | 14:58 |
| SunMoonStar | Most applications are not optimized for 64-bit anyway | 14:58 |
| Artemis3 | you are wrong SunMoonStar, also enable multiarch and use gdebi. | 14:59 |
| SunMoonStar | It is not like Windows on which you need 64-bit to utilize more than 3gb ram | 14:59 |

| impiza | nop its wont | 15:04 |
| impiza | every thing leads to same problem | 15:04 |

| impiza | Axio`: open your sound settings | 15:17 |
| jiwan | please welcome | 15:17 |
| Axio` | impiza: then? | 15:17 |
| impiza | which is your current output device | 15:17 |
| Axio` | impiza: HDMI is deactivated, the other one is on | 15:17 |
| cleamoon | Axio`, there are two audio devices, both are some amd, maybe you need to reinstall the amd driver... | 15:17 |
| jiwan | i am not understand wouldn't the partitions be listed in │ | 15:18 |
| jiwan | │the file manager "places" by default ? | 15:18 |
| jiwan | what is mean that? | 15:18 |
| Axio` | cleamoon: I think it is independent from an amd driver, the only amd driver I installed is for the graphic card | 15:18 |
| impiza | Axio`: switch to other and check | 15:18 |
| Axio` | impiza: I have nothing plugged to hdmi | 15:19 |
| nibbler_ | Tojamm, http://es.archive.ubuntu.com/cdimage/releases/ follow there | 15:19 |
| impiza | hmm | 15:19 |
| cleamoon | Axio`, i know. it doesn't hurt to try. :D | 15:19 |
| impiza | lool | 15:19 |
| impiza | in my case i have both hdmi and build in audio analog | 15:19 |
| nibbler_ | jiwan, that would be the tool you use in the GUI to browse your files..... it should list all your partitions somehow, by their label or whatever | 15:19 |
| impiza | hdmi donnt works here and build in works | 15:20 |
| jiwan | but i don't wann file manager | 15:20 |
| jiwan | i know i can do that using gui | 15:20 |
| jiwan | but what about the cui? | 15:20 |
| jiwan | usign terminal | 15:20 |
| Axio` | impiza: That's what I had before too | 15:20 |
| cleamoon | jiwan, by default the driver is not mounted automatically... | 15:20 |
| Axio` | impiza: Now the build in thing doesn't work anymore | 15:20 |
| nibbler_ | jiwan, use "mount | grep sda4" to see if it is already mounted, if yes, navigate to it. if not: "sudo mount /dev/sda4 /mnt; cd /mnt" | 15:20 |
| nibbler_ | jiwan, i won't repeat it again | 15:20 |
| gribouille | there is a problem with libreoffice : in the manual, all the images are missing | 15:21 |

| b14d3 | jiwan: Generally. The mount points may be different. | 15:29 |
| b14d3 | jiwan: But the overall steps can be applied to adding any drive | 15:29 |
| jiwan | point what we type /mnt | 15:30 |
| jiwan | ?? | 15:30 |
| b14d3 | Not sure what that's asking | 15:30 |
| jiwan | i mean we create a mount point /mnt right now, | 15:31 |
| jiwan | and next time we may choose different | 15:31 |
| Axio` | shit I only remember now that I have downgraded a weird version of pulseaudio on my computer yesterday | 15:31 |
| jiwan | isn't it | 15:31 |

| iceroot | mdh__: for what reason? higher "security"? | 16:17 |
| mdh__ | somewhat | 16:17 |
| arshavin | Dead-i : lshw -C Network | 16:18 |
| iceroot | mdh__: just disable guest logon or something like that but "hidding" the share is nothing related to security | 16:18 |
| mdh__ | the share is set up to be accessed with no account, anonymous access, but i'd rather have it not announce itself to the network if that would be possible | 16:18 |
| Dead-i | arshavin: Outputs two sections, each starting with "*-network DISABLED" - one of them is the PCI Express Gigabit Ethernet controller and the other is the Wireless 802.11n PCIe. | 16:19 |
| iceroot | mdh__: there is a "public" entry in /etc/samba/smb.conf | 16:19 |

| iceroot | detrimental: ssh-copy-id | 16:23 |
| mdh__ | iceroot: is the scan really that agressive that this is impossible to do? i thought the reason that the windows machines could pick up that there was a share there was because samba was broadcasting or something | 16:23 |
| iceroot | mdh__: wins is broadcasting | 16:23 |
| detrimental | i tried and it times out. is that possible a config issue with mycomputer? | 16:23 |

| Dead-i | arshavin: Laptop? | 16:23 |

| Median | So I've been wondering quite a lot what Ultrabook I should get.. I've come to the conclusion that I want either the ASUS UX32A or ASUS UX32VD. Now, the price difference is quite huge and it might be unnecessary to spend too much money. The UX32VD feels more futureproof, it also has a better screen, better processor and a dedicated GPU. Anyone that have some ideas on which one I shall pick? | 17:30 |
| Median | Planning to use the laptop for school, programming, design (Photoshop), other work and so on. | 17:30 |
| SunTsu | rgenito: no, you only can resolve that host name to a different ip address, which will send HTTP requests there - and everything else | 17:30 |
| rgenito | Median, i got the Vizio ultrabook. so happy :D | 17:31 |

| Dead-i | arshavin: when i run ifup start networking it says unknown interface start=start and networking=networking | 17:35 |
| SunTsu | rgenito: yes. You need to make sure that in /etc/nsswitch.conf the line hosts: ... starts with hosts: files | 17:35 |
| rgenito | thanks SunTsu , and yes it does (this is a default install of ubuntu 12.10 ... so everything is still default) | 17:36 |

| rgenito | any idea what i am missing? | 17:37 |
| SunTsu | rgenito: well, host always queries dns server, try ping | 17:37 |
| moon` | So I can't get ubuntu to boot up. From the grub loader it just goes to a black screen. I can switch into a shell and if I try running startx from shell I get nothing.

| Dead-i | dodo3773: I've noticed that the video output of my server only comes thru the graphics card and not my motherboard - would this be something to change in the BIOS? | 18:12 |
| detrimental | is it possible to change my router to point to a diff dns on my network? i want to basicly have an alterd dns so within my network i can change things | 18:13 |
| dodo3773 | Dead-i: Yeah, it could be. May not be a bad place to start. No video right now? | 18:13 |
| Dead-i | dodo3773: Not through the motherboard, no, though the CLI comes up thru the graphics card | 18:14 |

| Dead-i | dodo3773: Since I'm running Xen, I'd like to run a Windows HVM off it and pass it thru the graphics card. I'll want the actual server output coming thru the motherboard though, so I can switch to the main CLI if I need to | 18:16 |
| Dead-i | The Radeon graphics card appears as the "VGA Comaptbile Controller" and "Audio Device" in lspci | 18:17 |
| dodo3773 | Dead-i: Ah. Well, my server expertise is lacking. I don't want to steer you in the wrong direction. That being said if you can see it in lspci sounds like it's working fine to me | 18:18 |

| Gusteru | hi ! I installed ubuntu on usb hdd external box .... and when restart the computer no boot ubuntu from the hdd ... boot hard disk from the computer and start the windows7 | 19:07 |
| _graham_ | You might need to reconfigure your bios settings to boot from the other hard drive? | 19:08 |
| devxdev | Gusteru, thats because the MBR was configed on the external drive not the primary | 19:08 |
| devxdev | it has to write grub to the MBR on the primary drive, did you try to boot to the external? | 19:09 |
| Gusteru | devxdev and what need now ? I set to boot from the usb but no .. :( | 19:09 |
| chocka | I have a new windows 8 laptop with 8 GB RAM, core i5 processor. I want to install ubuntu with 100 GB space on it. Do I need to have a separate partition for swap for an 8 GB RAM? Suggest | 19:11 |
| Gusteru | _graham_, I set to boot from the usb ... but not work | 19:12 |
| devxdev | Gusteru, when the machine boots up push F12; or what ever your manual boot button is, try selecting the external from there. | 19:12 |
| lucien | chocka: I have 6GB of ram, and a swap but it never fills up, you can also have a swap file | 19:12 |
| _graham_ | chocka: What do you plan to do with it? | 19:12 |
| chocka | I run fortran based programs in unix environment | 19:12 |
| _graham_ | My home machine is 16GB, but rarely gets beyond 8GB in use and never touches the swap space... | 19:12 |
| bekks | chocka: When going to use suspend2disk, you need 8GB swap at least. | 19:13 |
| blami | chocka: with 8gigs of ram you will probably don't need swap at all (unless you want to run oracle or vm's on it) | 19:13 |
| _graham_ | And that runs some biggish stuff - minecraft server and so on... | 19:13 |
| Gusteru | devxdev, I did manually boot but it did not work | 19:13 |
| blami | bekks: doesn't he can simply use temporary swapfile on / for hibernation? | 19:14 |
| bekks | blami: Which uses the same amount of space as using a separate swap partition. | 19:14 |
| chocka | ok, while installing ubuntu, what would be the order for partition: first partition / (20 gb) then swap (10 gb for a 8 gb RAM), then /home (70 gb). will this be prper way? | 19:15 |
| === michael is now known as Guest48628 | ||
| bekks | chocka: The order is irrelevant. | 19:15 |
| lucien | 10gb swap? erm. | 19:17 |
| bekks | lucien: 16G swap for 16G RAM when going to use suspend2disk. | 19:17 |

| lucien | bekks: erm.. I never found hibernation-enabling features usefull. | 19:18 |
| chocka | bekks: while partitioning swap, / (root) etc., should I partition as 'primary' or 'logical' | 19:19 |
| Gusteru | devxdev, what is the solution ? | 19:19 |
| === Mud is now known as Guest14783 | ||
| lucien | chocka: the partition containing /boot should be primary. | 19:20 |
| lucien | chocka: and also have a bootable flag set. | 19:20 |
| chocka | lucien: do you mean the option 'device for bootlaoder' ? | 19:21 |
| devxdev | Gusteru, no idea buddy, looks like a failed install if you can't even manually boot the drive; is it a Laptop? if not swap the drive into the primary hdd slot and try that | 19:21 |
| Gusteru | devxdev, yes, is laptop | 19:21 |
| lucien | chocka: no. don't worry about bootable flag. ubuntu installation media should take care of that for you. | 19:22 |
| lucien | chocka: just make / primary | 19:22 |
| kingbeast | Gusteru, what brand is it? | 19:22 |
| chocka | lucien: //and also have a bootable flag set// how to do this? | 19:22 |

| Guest65852 | e che cazz | 19:23 |
| lucien | Guest65852: #ubuntu-it | 19:24 |
| Guest65852 | ok esco ciaoo a tt | 19:24 |
| Jordan_U | lucien: chocka: GNU/Linux doesn't care about parititons being primary or having the boot flag. Everything will work fine with / on a logical partition with no boot flag. | 19:24 |
| Guest65852 | grazie | 19:24 |
| lucien | Jordan_U: I've encountered problems while having a bootable partition as logical though. | 19:24 |
| Jordan_U | lucien: What problems? As long as grub's boot sector is installed in the MBR, which is where it should be, you should have no problem with the partition containing /boot/ being logical. | 19:25 |
| kingbeast | Gusteru, ok was just making sure it wasn't a Dell, some of them have an OS install mode in the bios | 19:26 |
| Gusteru | kingbeast, so ? try to reinstall ? | 19:27 |
| Jordan_U | chocka: I would recommend just letting Ubuntu's installer create partitions automatically. With Ubuntu's installer you can even re-install while preserving /home/ without a separate /home/ partition (though if you plan to use the same /home/ with other distributions having it be separate may make some things easier). | 19:27 |
| kingbeast | Gusteru, what version are you trying to install? | 19:28 |
| Gusteru | the last version of ubuntu | 19:28 |
| Gusteru | 12.10 or some | 19:28 |
| kingbeast | Gusteru, 32 or 64bit? | 19:29 |
| Jordan_U | fearphage: What is the output of "uname -r" from Ubuntu 12.10 ? | 19:29 |
| Gusteru | kingbeast, 32 | 19:29 |
| Jordan_U | fearphage: And can you also pastebin the output of "dmesg"? | 19:29 |
| kingbeast | Gusteru, yeah just try to reinstall it. double check your install medium first. | 19:30 |
| chocka | Jordan_U: so while paritioning I choose 'Install Ubuntu along windows 8' ? | 19:30 |
| Gusteru | okey | 19:30 |
| lucien | Jordan_U: I remember having grub installed on a logical partition, and not in the MBR and it returned "Operating System Not Found". | 19:30 |
| chocka | rather than 'something else' ? right | 19:30 |
| Gusteru | kingbeast, have ideea how can I format the hdd external box now ? I'm in Ubuntu Live | 19:30 |
| kingbeast | hdd external box? | 19:31 |
| kingbeast | are you trying to install to an external? | 19:31 |
| kingbeast | Gusteru, ^^ | 19:31 |
| Gusteru | yes kingbeast .. I try to install ubuntu on hdd external ! yes .. why ? :P | 19:31 |
| Dead-i | I would like my Ubuntu server to use the integrated graphics in my motherboard instead of the dedicated graphics in my Radeon GPU. In my BIOS I have the options of "IGFX", "PEG" and "PCI". Which one do I choose to use my onboard graphics? | 19:32 |
| lucien | Jordan_U: that's why I adviced chocka to make it primary, if I am wrong about that, then I'm sorry. | 19:32 |
| Jordan_U | lucien: That's because grub's boot sector always belongs in the MBR, that was your mistake. The portion of grub in /boot/grub/ can still be in a logical partition. | 19:32 |
| kingbeast | Gusteru, your on your own with that one. I have never done that before | 19:32 |
| kingbeast | Gusteru, and does that laptop boot from usb? | 19:32 |
| Jordan_U | chocka: Yes. | 19:33 |
| lucien | Jordan_U: Why would it be a mistake to have grub installed to a partition and not on the MBR? | 19:34 |
| chocka | Jordan_U: so I partition 100 GB from windows 8's C drive as free space and choose, 'ubuntu alongside windows 8' while installing Ubuntu. That will take care of all swap, home, etc. and still hibernate, sleep options will be properly configured? | 19:35 |
| Gusteru | kingbeast, I put the ubuntu on flash-memory ... bot from the flash-mem ... and install in hdd external box | 19:36 |
| Jordan_U | lucien: For two reasons. First because the BIOS loads the code from the MBR, so if you want it to load GRUB that's where grub's boot sector should be. Second because when installing grub's boot sector to a partition (at least one containing an extN filesystem) there is no safe embedding area available so blocklists pointing to an active filesystem need to be used, and that is unreliable. | 19:36 |
| kingbeast | Gusteru, when you boot does the external show up in the boot menu? | 19:37 |
| Jordan_U | chocka: Yes. | 19:37 |
| Gusteru | with unetbootin-windows-581 | 19:37 |
| chocka | JOrdan_U: if I use first option while installing, I dont even need to partition before trying to install, right? | 19:37 |
| Dead-i | Hmmmm | 19:38 |
| Dead-i | IGFX or PCI - which one are the onboard graphcis? :S | 19:38 |
| lucien | Jordan_U: yet, unreliable or not, if you install grub to a partition it still has to be a primary one. | 19:38 |
| Jordan_U | chocka: Correct, the Ubuntu installer will do all of the needed resizing and creating of parititons. | 19:38 |
| Gusteru | kingbeast, I show that there is an external hdd but I can not boot | 19:38 |
| kingbeast | Gusteru, I'm confused, sorry. Nothing else I can do | 19:38 |
| ActionParsnip | Dead-i: usually the onboard is on the PCI-X bus too | 19:39 |
| pdvyas | Gusteru, kingbeast I think the easiest way to get a flash drive bootable is to dd the iso to it. | 19:39 |
| Gusteru | ok kingbeast I will be try to install | 19:39 |
| Jordan_U | lucien: If you install grub's *boot sector* to a partition (which you shoulnd't do), and install MS style boot code int he MBR, then the partition containing grub's boot sector needs to be primary, yes. | 19:39 |
| Dead-i | ActionParsnip: So would the onboard be PCI? I have the otpion of IGFX, PEG, PCI and I'm not sure which is onboard :) | 19:40 |
| chocka | Jordan_U: To clarify myself, I ask it again. If I try to install 'ubuntu alongside windows 8', I can resize/partition the needed space from windows' C-drive from the installer, right? I do not need to do any partitioning in windows before hand.. right? | 19:40 |
| ActionParsnip | Dead-i: probaly IGFX for integrated graphics | 19:40 |
| lucien | Thanks for proper clarifications, Jordan_U. | 19:40 |
| Jordan_U | chocka: Correct. | 19:41 |
| Dead-i | Thanks | 19:41 |
| Jordan_U | lucien: You're welcome. | 19:41 |

| theman123 | well i heard it is better to use BTRFS with a SSD | 19:43 |
| theman123 | than ext4 | 19:44 |
| pdvyas | Gusteru: you can use gparted, it has a nice GUI. But if you want to install to it, you can format from the installer itself | 19:44 |
| ActionParsnip | theman123: ext4 can be tweaked to run well in SSD. You can use Ext2 to reduce writes but by and large Ext4 is fine | 19:44 |
| lucien | theman123: and the question is? | 19:44 |
| theman123 | is it right?! | 19:44 |
| ferni | theman123: no | 19:44 |
| theman123 | ActionParsnip: but btrfs is better yes | 19:44 |
| lucien | theman123: I won't comment on which one is better. I'll just say that ext4 is better. | 19:45 |

| Gusteru | pdvyas, now run ubuntu from flash and I have put in another external USB HDD I wanted to install ubuntu | 19:46 |
| chocka | Also, if I want to use ifort compiler for my programs and calculations etc. which option would be better? 32 bit or 64 bit? | 19:47 |
| pdvyas | Gusteru: Yes, boot ubuntu from flash, connect the usb hdd (I assume you want to install here). Select the external drive in the installer | 19:47 |
| chocka | I wish to install Ubuntu. I want to use ifort compiler for my programs and calculations etc. which option would be better? 32 bit or 64 bit Ubuntu? | 19:48 |
| lucien | chocka: whichever suits your processor. | 19:48 |
| ikonia | chocka: depends on your compile and what you want to do | 19:48 |
| lite13 | hi. i have completely uninstall my desktop and everything i believe. no apps in menu anymore and somehow maintained my internet connection. i installed e17 already | 19:48 |
| Gusteru | ok pdvyas ... I retry now to install on hdd external drive | 19:49 |
| ikonia | chocka: if you're building your software you should have a basic idea of what your needs are and how to meet them | 19:49 |
| slnls | great. so my laptop display stays black after unity once more froze. I did a hardboot, and nothing brings a picture. not even grub shows up. cable to external monitor does not help also. any ideas? | 19:49 |
| Gusteru | pdvyas, Thank You for help | 19:49 |
| fearphage | Jordan_U: https://gist.github.com/9942d27ccba5ec6bbfe6 | 19:49 |
| lite13 | i just need to know while i have an internet connection how to make sure that my system will log into e17 without staying on the black screen | 19:49 |
| pdvyas | Gusteru: You're welcome :) | 19:49 |
| slnls | unity froze multiple times in the past, when opening the dash. god i hate unity | 19:50 |
| eternal_ | GSR ftw ;p | 19:50 |
| lucien | slnls: +1 | 19:50 |
| lite13 | me to slnls that is why i removed it all and going with e17 | 19:50 |
| ikonia | really simple - dont like it, don't use it | 19:50 |
| ikonia | rather than joining a tell to tell us all about you not liking it | 19:50 |
| slnls | this is why i dont use ubuntu on most machines anymore. going to say byebye to ubuntu | 19:50 |
| lucien | ikonia: feedback is good. | 19:51 |
| ikonia | lucien: it's pointless in this channel | 19:51 |
| slnls | now unity shot my laptop dead | 19:51 |
| ikonia | slnls: enough | 19:51 |
| ikonia | slnls: don't like it - don't use it, got a problem lets see if people can help, or log a bug | 19:51 |

| ikonia | this isn't a "rant channel" we can try to help, or point you at the right place to report your bug | 19:53 |
| lite13 | to make sure i got it all and install lightdm only. what all login managers are there? i know gdm and lxsession i believe. anyone know more | 19:53 |
| slnls | kinda hard to file a bug, when screen is dead. so it is a hardware problem. sorry, but me upset. i appreciate hints for a solution. | 19:53 |
| eternal_ | kdm xdm | 19:53 |
| lucien | maybe he experiences troubles while using unity's and he has a story explaining how much pain he's gone through and how much unity sucks, before asking the actual question. | 19:53 |
| lucien | see? his screen is dead ikonia. | 19:53 |
| ikonia | lucien: give it a rest, final time ,this isn't the channel | 19:54 |
| ikonia | lucien: it's not dead, he's typing on IRC | 19:54 |
| eternal_ | You're bitching about Unity when your hardware is dead and has nothing to do with the other? | 19:54 |
| eternal_ | Wow. | 19:54 |
| lucien | ikonia: maybe he has some other device. | 19:54 |
| slnls | ikonia: typing on my desktop. i have problems with my laptop. please read. | 19:54 |
| ikonia | lucien: so he's able to type/log a bug then or not use it | 19:54 |
| ikonia | slnls: yes, so your ranting won't help fix it | 19:54 |

| lucien | Thank you. | 19:56 |
| yalu_ | hi. ubuntu 12.10 does not support non-pae systems anymore. this turns out to be a serious problem for LTSP since a lot of thin clients do not have the pae instruction. Would the best solution be to pin the kernel version to a version in 12.4? | 19:56 |
| ikonia | yalu_: I thought edubuntu was keeping a non-pae package for this sort of thing | 19:57 |
| ikonia | yalu_: (I don't know, I just remember disucssion) | 19:57 |
| lite13 | to make sure i got it all and install lightdm only. what all login managers are there? i know gdm and lxsession i believe. anyone know more | 19:59 |
| slnls | ok. 1. opening dash on 12.10 froze the laptop. 2. hard reboot. 3. screen is black. 4. screen stays black with HDMI, VGA to external monitor. stays black with multiple live-disks. does not even show grub or startup message or bios. i would much appreciate this channels help. and once again sorry for the rant. | 19:59 |
| eternal_ | there is kde's, kdm, and the original xdm. | 19:59 |
| ikonia | slnls: is your hardware actually ok ? do you ever get ANY output ? | 20:00 |
| eternal_ | slnls sounds like a hardware issue if you are not seeing any hardware messages | 20:00 |
| yalu_ | ikonia: sources.list is the same between ubuntu and edubuntu so I got not much hope for it | 20:00 |
| Dead-i | When attempting to passthrough my AMD Radeon GPU using Xen I get the error that it is already in use. When I plug a DVI into the GPU, I see several startup-related messages. Is there any way to fix this? Thanks | 20:00 |

| patie | why i dont see keyboard language switcher in xfce/ubuntu ? help please | 20:02 |
| ikonia | slnls: so not even a bios message or anything ? | 20:02 |
| slnls | ikonia: sadly: No. | 20:03 |
| ikonia | slnls: it sounds like your hardware is dead then | 20:03 |
| slnls | ikonia: just, what i thought. which one might it be? gpu-related? | 20:03 |
| ikonia | slnls: no idea, take it to a repair shop | 20:03 |
| lucien | slnls: we can't diagnose your system from the internet, you could try ##hardware, but I'm sure they will tell you the same. | 20:04 |
| lucien | also ikonia, please read pm (: | 20:04 |
| pdvyas | slnls: Just curious, what GPU do you have ? Do the fancy dual ones which switch discrete/dedicated ? | 20:05 |
| pamccabe | can someone tell me how to open a terminal session from ubuntu 12.10? | 20:05 |

| Bassguy | Howdy | 20:14 |
| craniumslows | hola | 20:14 |
| craniumslows | hows it going? | 20:14 |
| Dead-i | Hmmm, weird, thru my GPU card I'm getting messages like "[5.694076] Initialising USB Mass Storage Driver..." | 20:15 |
| Dead-i | Probably why XEN says the GPU card is in use :/ | 20:16 |
| ikonia | Dead-i: why do you think that has anything to do with your graphis card ? | 20:16 |
| craniumslows | google winns thanks anyway | 20:16 |
| Dead-i | ikonia: I don't. I need to stop Ubuntu Server from using my graphics card in that way so Xen allows me to passthru to it, from what I gather. | 20:17 |
| ikonia | Dead-i: in what way ? | 20:17 |
| Dead-i | ikonia: Ubuntu Server is using my graphics card for mssages like "Adding 16719868k swap on /dev/mapper/server-swap_1-" etc, which is probably why Xen can't passthrough to it - when I try booting the VM it says that it couldn't find the PCI device because either it doesn't exist or its in use. | 20:19 |
| ikonia | Dead-i: why do you think that ? | 20:19 |
| ikonia | Dead-i: your graphics card is nothing to do with /dev/mapper/server-swap | 20:19 |
| GunArm | i'm still having some kind of trouble running an executable as a user (due to permissions or something) can someone help me understand how this can happen? http://pastebin.com/fGm5zbAF | 20:20 |
| Dead-i | ikonia: It doesn't, it's just that atm coming from the DVI slot on my graphics card are messages that appear at boot, like the message saying its adding swap, or recognising usb storage devices, etc | 20:20 |
| === michael is now known as Guest65174 | ||
| ikonia | GunArm: the commands not in that directory | 20:20 |
| GunArm | ikonia: ?? didn't you see that I ls'ed the directory and showed that it is indeed there? | 20:20 |
| ikonia | Dead-i: those storage messages have nothing to do with your graphics card | 20:21 |
| ikonia | GunArm: look at what it's calling | 20:21 |
| ikonia | GunArm: something isn't found | 20:21 |
| Dead-i | ikonia: The messages are coming through to my graphics card though, so surely this makes my graphics card "in-use"? | 20:21 |
| ikonia | Dead-i: errr yes, you have a monitor plugged into your graphics card / | 20:21 |
| ikonia | ? | 20:21 |
| Dead-i | ikonia: yes | 20:22 |
| ikonia | Dead-i: so you card....is in use, it's driving your monitor | 20:22 |
| raffaele | qualcuno puo aiutarmi | 20:23 |
| montanha | Dead-i: everything you see in your screen is because of your graphic card | 20:23 |
| Dead-i | ikonia: montanha: Xen said the PCI device was in-use even when my monitor wasn't connected :S | 20:23 |
| Dead-i | I'm so confused. XD | 20:23 |
| ikonia | Dead-i: even if your monitor isn't actually connected, the console is still spawned to it | 20:24 |
| pdvyas | GunArm: Can you try doing `sudo su ventrilo -` ; then you'll get a shell and try `ls -la /usr/bin/ventrilo_srv` | 20:24 |
| pdvyas | GunArm: Can you try doing `sudo su ventrilo -` ; then you'll get a shell and try `ls -la /usr/bin/ventrilo_srv` | 20:24 |
| Dead-i | ikonia: How can I have the console stop spawning to it though? | 20:25 |
| ikonia | Dead-i: you need to look at what's going on at init | 20:25 |
| Dead-i | ikonia: How do I do that? :) | 20:26 |
| ikonia | Dead-i: why are you running xen ? | 20:26 |
| ikonia | Dead-i: what are you trying to achieve ? | 20:26 |
| Dead-i | ikonia: Virtual machines where one of them passes through to the graphics card | 20:26 |
| CrazyZurfer | My pc got stucked, while watching a video, is there a way to close all programs? | 20:26 |
| CrazyZurfer | Or something like crtl alt supr | 20:27 |
| slnls | CrazyZurfer: alt+strg+F1, login. then sudo shutdown -h now | 20:27 |
| ikonia | Dead-i: ok, so at init the console is associated to a device, in this case it's your video card, you need to change that, but be aware, once you do that, all output will be gone | 20:27 |
| slnls | CrazyZurfer: shutdowns the whole pc with save message to processes | 20:27 |

| slnls | Muphrid: will need "now" or nothing happens | 20:28 |
| slnls | CrazyZurfer: well, you are typing on it? | 20:29 |
| Muphrid | CrazyZurfer: you can try with -r (reboot) or kill the gnome-session PID or whatever session youre using | 20:29 |
| CrazyZurfer | Okay | 20:29 |
| Dead-i | ikonia: I will still be able to access the console through the onboard graphics on my motherboard though, right? | 20:29 |
| CrazyZurfer | I'm in the console | 20:29 |
| CrazyZurfer | Any way to close the progress but not shutdown computer | 20:30 |
| ikonia | Dead-i: if you bind the console to that device, yes | 20:30 |
| ActionParsnip | CrazyZurfer: killall -u $USER | 20:30 |
| pdvyas | GunArm: `head /usr/bin/ventrilo_srv` , maybe something at line#3 in the file is throwing the error | 20:30 |

| montel | ubuntu sucks so bad with gnome 3 now :( rip | 20:30 |
| CrazyZurfer | Thanks, that worked | 20:30 |
| ActionParsnip | montel: you don't have to use Gnome..... | 20:30 |
| ActionParsnip | montel: so your statement makes no sense. | 20:31 |
| Dead-i | ikonia: How do I do this? :) | 20:31 |
| InfiniteByte | montel: try gnome-session-fallback | 20:31 |
| ikonia | Dead-i: I'd have to look at this, as it's normally set in the init, but I'm not sure with upstart | 20:31 |
| slnls | ActionParsnip: well, it is either xubuntu or something else. so not exactly ubuntu. am i right? | 20:31 |
| montel | ActionParsnip, if i dont use gnome then its really not ubuntu is it. i use xubuntu. i think i'm just going to switch to debian. | 20:31 |
| CrazyZurfer | I use xubuntu | 20:32 |
| CrazyZurfer | And i like it | 20:32 |
| ActionParsnip | slnls montel: they are the same base and kubuntu and xubuntu are equally as supported as ubuntu | 20:32 |
| pdvyas | GunArm: Sorry, I may be wrong about that. but still fire that, will confirm that we're able to read the file. | 20:32 |
| montel | okay, the defualt ubuntu sucks* | 20:32 |
| GunArm | pdvyas: yeah the file seems binary | 20:33 |
| GunArm | although interesting about that 3 in the error | 20:33 |
| ActionParsnip | montel: fine, don't use it. Nobody is forcing yoou | 20:33 |
| InfiniteByte | montel: by default ubuntu uses unity | 20:33 |
| ActionParsnip | montel: I think a lot in the default ubuntu sucks. I just remove it and install what I prefer. If every user came to the channel stating what they hated, it wouldn't be very productive. Would it? | 20:33 |
| ActionParsnip | InfiniteByte: Unity is a shell for Gnome. Unity doesn't replace Unity | 20:34 |
| ActionParsnip | Unity doesn't replace gnome | 20:34 |
| montel | Yeah, thats true its just ive been using ubuntu ever since it first came out.. i miss when they just updated and fixed things in releases not overhauled the damn thing every 6 months | 20:35 |
| pdvyas | GunArm: that 3 is because, it's the third command in the shell, or, the 3rd line of stdin or something.. | 20:35 |
| ActionParsnip | montel: Lubuntu and Xubuntu desktop functionality is largely unchanged | 20:35 |
| InfiniteByte | montel: that might be, but unity and gnome 3 are different things | 20:35 |
| === wk is now known as Guest37026 | ||
| ikonia | GunArm: it's probably linked against a library that isn't present | 20:36 |
| montel | ActionParsnip, yeah that's why i'm sticking to xubuntu. InfiniteByte: they both suck | 20:36 |
| CrazyZurfer | Go debian then | 20:37 |
| GunArm | ikonia: i dont suppose theres any way to figure out what library that would be? | 20:37 |
| ActionParsnip | montel: use what you wish. Again, if evrybody reeled of what they thought sucked, the channel would be ineffective | 20:37 |
| InfiniteByte | montel: i agree on that, but you don't have to use them | 20:37 |
| GunArm | ikonia: lots of people use this software and I downloaded the most recent version | 20:37 |
| ikonia | GunArm: ldd the binary and look at what's missing | 20:37 |
| GunArm | ikonia, not a dynamic executable | 20:38 |
| Dead-i | ikonia: Ok thanks | 20:38 |
| ikonia | GunArm: so, check what it's linked against | 20:38 |

| ubottu | pamccabe: Ubuntu, like any other Linux distribution, has firewall capabilities built-in. The firewall is managed using the 'ufw' command - see https://help.ubuntu.com/community/UFW | An alternative to ufw is the 'iptables' command - See https://help.ubuntu.com/community/IptablesHowTo | GUI frontends such as Gufw (GNOME) and Guarddog (KDE from Lucid onwards) also exist. | 20:54 |

| Dead-i | Does anyone know how to have the startup init scripts' output go to a different display rather than my dedicated graphics card? | 20:56 |
| ikonia | Dead-i: some bios's let you change the default video card | 20:57 |
| Dead-i | ikonia: I've already changed the primary adapter. It worked for the actual command line itself, but it doesn't appear to have affected the init scripts | 20:57 |
| ikonia | Dead-i: the actual command line ? | 20:58 |
| ikonia | Dead-i: that doesn't make any sense what you are saying | 20:58 |
| pdvyas | ikonia, Dead-i means the kernel messages (when you boot), I guess | 20:59 |
| ikonia | pdvyas: lets let him explain what he means | 20:59 |
| SaFi2266 | hi folks | 20:59 |
| studious | hey buddy | 20:59 |
| Dead-i | ikonia: The command line shell was originally going to the graphics card too. When I changed the Primary Display Adapter in the BIOS, the command line went to the onboard graphics instead (which is what I wanted). However, the startup init scripts output are still going to the graphics card rather than the onboard graphics | 21:00 |

| sgt-hagger | I have done this now and it still says to do it | 21:01 |
| ikonia | sgt-hagger: please take it to mint support | 21:01 |

| sgt-hagger | Okay, but they've been ignoring me up to now. | 21:03 |
| ikonia | sgt-hagger: thanks | 21:03 |
| Dead-i | ikonia: BEFORE I changed the "Primary Display Adapter" setting in the BIOS, the Ubuntu Server command line shell (like the login, pass, etc) was appearing on the graphics card. The init scripts' output would flash on the graphics card screen first though. | 21:03 |
| sjoerd_ | SaFi2266: You should do more diagnosis first :) Run top in a Terminal to see if anything is hogging CPU time. You can also see there how much swap is in use; if you're heavily swapping your system will crawl. iostat -k 5 or similar (from the sysstat package) will show you if your disks are overloaded. That should do for starters | 21:04 |
| Dead-i | ikonia: AFTER I changed the Primary Display Adapter, the Ubuntu Server command line shell was appearing on the on-board graphics. The init scripts' output just stayed on the graphics card screen though | 21:04 |

| lonewulf85 | Could anyone explain why when I try to install Ubuntu 12.04 x86_64 with the following partition setup one 30Gb / for my root, one 284Gb /home and one 6Gb swap it somehow fails to install GRUB? | 21:08 |
| andy000 | hi | 21:09 |
| ikonia | lonewulf85: how many hard disks do you have ? | 21:09 |
| Mr_VOA2 | anyone expert with facebook here? | 21:09 |
| lonewulf85 | ikonia: I have one 320 Gb drive. | 21:09 |
| ikonia | Mr_VOA2: no-one, just ubuntu here | 21:10 |
| k1l | Mr_VOA2: that is a ubuntu support, not a facebook support here | 21:10 |
| ikonia | lonewulf85: where are you telling it to install grub to ? | 21:10 |
| lonewulf85 | ikonia: I am using a usb to install and I always tell it to install to /dev/sda | 21:10 |
| antreas29patra | hi | 21:10 |
| k1l | Mr_VOA2: so if that is a ubuntu support issue, go ahead and ask your question. | 21:10 |
| ikonia | lonewulf85: ok, so /dev/sda is probably being assigned to the USB disk | 21:11 |
| arooni-mobile | how can i delete all files in a given directory with size = 0 ? | 21:11 |

| CoreyBR | :) | 21:11 |
| Mr_VOA2 | sorry wrong chan | 21:11 |
| CoreyBR | anyone need help? | 21:11 |
| ikonia | lonewulf85: that's interesting, I'm a little surprised by that, where are you seeing/checking that | 21:12 |
| ActionParsnip | CoreyBR: ask and see | 21:13 |
| lonewulf85 | ikonia: This time for the second install attempt today I saw that my installer said "Grub force floppy false forced "/dev/sda" grub2 install successfully" Maybe it worked this time. | 21:13 |
| slixz85 | does anyone know of an ubuntu minimal install that contains wifi drivers and a gui? | 21:13 |
| ikonia | slixz85: no.....as it wouldn't be a mininal install then | 21:14 |
| ikonia | it would be ubuntu desktop.... | 21:14 |
| ActionParsnip | slixz85: the mini install is text only, you could customize the ISO and add the drivers you need | 21:14 |
| JRThump | Just one thing about grub boot problems. I had a problem when I had a new SSD and it failed to boot GRUB but windows did start ok from same disk. Thought it was due to Asus EFI BIOS. I reinstalled about 20 times and i tried MSDOS partition table, GPT partition table, grub flag, and different EFI partitioning schemes, but in the end the problem was silly! It was the SATA cable that was... | 21:14 |
| JRThump | ...probably not sitting tight enough and it was strange because it worked if I installed Windows(!) In the end i just switched to a new cable (one of those that "locks" and voila it works like a charm). | 21:14 |
| slixz85 | ikonia, ActionParsnip ok. i just am in a spot where i can only use wifi. so that would be an issue. is their anything lighter even than bodhi any1 knows of. i know it sounds crazy but my pc is old | 21:15 |
| slixz85 | bodhi runs ok. but i want even smaller iso | 21:15 |
| JRThump | So...make sure to check sata cable :-) | 21:15 |
| ActionParsnip | slixz85: lubuntu | 21:15 |
| ikonia | slixz85: how old ? | 21:15 |
| ActionParsnip | slixz85: tinycore isn't ubuntu but is very small | 21:15 |
| slixz85 | 2004 or so | 21:15 |
| slixz85 | i know... i just am so used to ubuntu/debian tht is what i need | 21:15 |
| ActionParsnip | slixz85: use minimal over a wired connection and install fluxbox, slim and wicd and you will have a very light OS | 21:16 |
| slixz85 | wicd is lighter than nm-applet? | 21:16 |
| slixz85 | i guess i will have to find a way to hook to up to ethernet. i am just sharingf neighbords wifi | 21:17 |
| andy000 | I have a source.tar.gz file without .dsc file. Can I compile the file with pbuilder? | 21:17 |
| ActionParsnip | slixz85: what wifi chip are you using? | 21:17 |
| ActionParsnip | andy000: is there no PPA for the app? | 21:18 |
| slixz85 | Belkin Components F7D1101 Basic Wireless USB Adapter v1000 [Realtek RTL8188SU] | 21:18 |
| slixz85 | which uses the r8712u driver | 21:18 |
| andy000 | no | 21:18 |
| lonewulf85 | I am used to gnome I have tried KDE/XFCE and enlightenment, Could anyone tell me whether there has been major improvements with KDE since Ubuntu 10.04 | 21:18 |
| ActionParsnip | slixz85: if you customise the ISO, you can add the driver and it will be used in the minimal installer | 21:18 |
| ActionParsnip | lonewulf85: I'd say so | 21:19 |
| slixz85 | ActionParsnip, is it like one file i need since i know the driver or how would i find it to include? | 21:19 |
| nardev | Could you suggest me some simple application for reading from GPS module? I just need simple data, like position coordinates, speed, altitude etc. Modules are 1. SieraGobi 3000 and Some other device connected via BT. | 21:19 |
| ActionParsnip | lonewulf85: you could even drop the DE and just use the window manager on its own :) | 21:19 |
| lonewulf85 | ActionParsnip: Could you give any examples? | 21:19 |
| ActionParsnip | lonewulf85: http://kde.org/ shows the changes and in order | 21:20 |

| ichigo-roku | Hi | 21:23 |
| dr_willis | hello | 21:24 |
| lucien | I just burned a data disc with brasero, everything went fine, except when I mount it, it's a blank dvd :\ | 21:24 |
| ActionParsnip | lucien: tried it in a different system? | 21:24 |
| Argafal | Hi, I'm looking for a Ubuntu 12.10 installer to fit on a CD-R. | 21:25 |
| lucien | ActionParsnip: no.. | 21:25 |
| ichigo-roku | I wanted to configure dual screen on my nvidia but unity stops to start so I deleted the dual screen mode on my xorg but unity still won't start | 21:25 |
| ActionParsnip | lucien: try other burning apps too, like xfburn :) | 21:25 |
| lucien | it looks like data is written to it | 21:25 |
| dr_willis | ichigo-roku: hmm. twinview works fine here on my nvidia systems. | 21:25 |
| freshstart | does anybody know a program that assigns a command in mouse buttons? | 21:25 |
| DJones | Argafal: Its no longer designed to fit on a cd, you could try the minimal install which downloads most of the software from the internet during installation | 21:25 |
| dr_willis | ichigo-roku: what release of ubuntu? | 21:25 |
| ichigo-roku | 12.10 | 21:26 |
| lucien | ActionParsnip: going to try it on a windows machine, thanks | 21:26 |
| dr_willis | ichigo-roku: i even hot plug in my 2nd monitor and it enables twinview automatically | 21:26 |
| dr_willis | ichigo-roku: does unity start for the guest user? try adding a new user. see if it works for them | 21:27 |
| Argafal | DJones: thanks. | 21:27 |
| dufa | Argafal, the minimal release can be found at https://help.ubuntu.com/community/Installation/MinimalCD | 21:27 |
| ichigo-roku | Okay | 21:27 |
| Argafal | dufa: yes, that should work. | 21:27 |
| Dead-i | still haven't found anything online about having init scripts go to a different display - google is not my friend today :( | 21:27 |
| pragmaticenigma | Dead-i: Since I didn't see your original question, would you mind repeating it? | 21:28 |
| ichigo-roku | dr_willis, it didn't work with other users | 21:28 |
| lonewulf85 | ikonia: Moment of truth hopefully I do not get a grub error. | 21:29 |
| ichigo-roku | Weird because on my arch I had no problem | 21:29 |
| ichigo-roku | The command "/usr/lib/nux/unity_support_test -p" tells me that I don't have composite extension | 21:30 |
| dr_willis | ichigo-roku: how about the guest user. or a newly made user. | 21:30 |
| lucien | I made a DVD with brasero, everything went fine, except it's blank | 21:30 |
| lucien | tried it on a windows machine | 21:30 |
| lonewulf85 | ikonia: Yes success no errors this time thank for the brainstorming. Live long and prosper. | 21:30 |
| ichigo-roku | dr_willis, it didn't work with other users | 21:30 |
| pragmaticenigma | lucien: if it doesn't work, then everything didn't go fine... When burning, did you make sure to close the session on the disc? | 21:31 |
| Dead-i | pragmaticenigma: Sure - in my BIOS I set the "Primary Display Adapter" so it would use my Onboard graphics instead of my Dedicated Radeon graphics. Although the Ubuntu server command line is using my onboard graphics, various init.d related messages are appearing on the graphics card on startup. Is there any way to stop these messages from appearing? | 21:31 |
| riderplus | on Gnome 3.7.3 guake has no transparency (ubuntu 12.10) even though it's set to be transparent (70%) | 21:31 |
| freshstart | does anybody know a program that assigns a command in mouse buttons? | 21:31 |
| riderplus | also the notification conflict has not been solved | 21:32 |
| lucien | pragmaticenigma: I'm pretty sure it did closed the disc. | 21:32 |
| riderplus | I have to disable pop up notification in guake otherwise it doesn't start | 21:32 |
| riderplus | at startup I mean | 21:32 |
| pragmaticenigma | lucien: Okay, just a thought. | 21:32 |
| lucien | I only have 1 disc left and I really need to backup my data, what do I do? | 21:33 |
| Ray2 | lucien..did you md5sum the iso | 21:33 |
| riderplus | ...and it crashes when I try to change the keyboard layout | 21:33 |
| riderplus | cool | 21:33 |
| lucien | Ray2: It wasn't an iso.. | 21:33 |
| pragmaticenigma | Dead-i: There really is no harm in those messages. What is likely happening is the kernel is just saying I see some hardware, but I can't use it. The messages really can't be turned off unless you want to re-combile your own kernel | 21:33 |
| joey8 | lucien→ cloud / mem stick ? | 21:33 |
| pragmaticenigma | Dead-i: *compile | 21:33 |
| lucien | joey8: I'd preffer to have it on a disc though.. bad experiences with cloud inb4. | 21:34 |
| Dead-i | pragmaticenigma: Hmm, Xen is saying that I can't passthrough to the graphics card because its "in-use", any idea how I could fix this? I had a feeling the messages were to do with it. The messages are things like adding swap, registering usb storage, etc | 21:34 |
| joey8 | if you aint got a disk then you aint gonna backup... sorry ヅ | 21:35 |
| lucien | joey: I only have one left ;-; | 21:35 |
| lucien | joey8* | 21:35 |
| joey8 | lucien→ i dunno how you gonna do it then | 21:36 |
| joey8 | lucien→ just backup as much as you can and cross your fingres | 21:36 |
| fearphage | Jordan_U: https://gist.github.com/9942d27ccba5ec6bbfe6 3.5.0-21-generic | 21:36 |
| lucien | ... joey8: I'm basically just trying to write a data disc.. | 21:36 |
| lucien | and it didn't work. forget about the backup.. I need to write a disc.. joey8 | 21:37 |
| joey8 | lucien→ have you gone thru the zip/tar ideas? | 21:37 |
| lucien | joey8: what do you mean? | 21:37 |
| d4rkh4nd | Does anyone know the reasone for kdialog's --password if you cant call it later in the script ? | 21:38 |
| joey8 | lucien→ compress your files via tar or zip or similar | 21:38 |
| pragmaticenigma | Dead-i: Perhaps Xen is trying to utilize the Radeon graphics, but because of the way you have configured BIOS, the BIOS is stopping the commands from reaching the Radeon. I'm only guessing here, but I think most setups like yours send all graphics card commands to one chip. When high end graphics are needed, the onboard graphics opens the gate and lets the commands "pass through" to the other graphics chip | 21:38 |
| lucien | joey8: there is no other way? ;-; | 21:38 |
| lucien | guess I'm going to have to try that then ;-; thanks joey8 | 21:39 |
| ichigo-roku | dr_willis, problem solved, I don't know why but I had this line : Option "Composite" "Disable" instead of Option "Composite" "Enable" | 21:39 |
| joey8 | lucien→ ok your welcome matey | 21:39 |
| Dead-i | pragmaticenigma: Thanks :) | 21:39 |
| Dead-i | pragmaticenigma: What settings in the BIOS could I change to fix this? | 21:40 |
| ActionParsnip | lucien: try another app. I have never had success with Brasero | 21:40 |
| lucien | ActionParsnip: what did you have success with? | 21:40 |
| dr_willis | ichigo-roku: my twinview seems to work even without an xorg.conf file at all these days. ;) | 21:40 |
| ActionParsnip | lucien: xfburn is pretty solid imho | 21:40 |
| lucien | ActionParsnip: I'm going to try, thanks. | 21:41 |
| pragmaticenigma | Dead-i: There really arn't any unless you intened to use the Radeon card. They are just warning messages, not errors. My computer spits out 30 warnings about a USB port not working every few seconds. It does not affect the performance or connectivitiy of my USB devices. Just annoying when your trying to read through logs. Thats why learning to use grep is very handing when reading through your log files | 21:41 |
| lucien | ActionParsnip: should I still try to tar it tough? | 21:42 |
| dr_willis | pragmaticenigma: i had a flakey webcam on a laptop - caused the kernel to flood the logs/dmesg - a setting at the top of /etc/sysctl.conf quited it down. | 21:42 |
| pragmaticenigma | dr_willis: for me it's just a bad USB port on a 5 port USB2.0 PCI card. I don't use it anymore since all my systems now have on board USB 2.0 | 21:43 |
| Dead-i | pragmaticenigma: I intend on using the Radeon card for passingthrough a virtual machine's screen but Xen claims its in-use. I'm not sure how to make it so its not "in-use". | 21:43 |
| pragmaticenigma | Dead-i: Ah, you can't do that | 21:43 |
| ActionParsnip | lucien: why not, you can burn any file you like | 21:43 |
| lucien | ActionParsnip: the discs that brasero failed at burning.. were they still usable? | 21:44 |
| lucien | ok thanks ActionParsnip. | 21:44 |
| ActionParsnip | lucien: are the rewritables? | 21:44 |
| lucien | it says DVD-R not DVD-RW so I guess not. | 21:44 |
| pragmaticenigma | lucien: If you put the disc back in and try to burn to it, will brasero burn? | 21:44 |
| pragmaticenigma | lucien: Rather, try to write to it again? | 21:45 |
| lucien | pragmaticenigma, well it says it's blank. | 21:45 |
| === marc is now known as Guest10119 | ||
| lucien | pragmaticenigma, yet it looks like it's written | 21:45 |
| pragmaticenigma | lucien: Right, but will brasero allow you to try and burn to it again? | 21:45 |
| lucien | pragmaticenigma: let me try | 21:46 |
| pragmaticenigma | Dead-i: Is this on a laptop or full desktop? | 21:48 |
| Dead-i | pragmaticenigma: desktop | 21:48 |
| lucien | pragmaticenigma: brasero still allows me to burn it | 21:49 |
| pragmaticenigma | Dead-i: Do you have a monitor hooked up to both graphics cards? | 21:49 |
| lucien | pragmaticenigma: and I didn't check leave the disc open at first. | 21:49 |
| Dead-i | pragmaticenigma: I keep switching the cable between both the dedi graphics card and the onboard | 21:50 |
| fearphage | bekks: are you still around? | 21:51 |
| pragmaticenigma | lucien: Well It appears that brasero didn't burn so at least you don't have a coaster. I personally gave up on brasero a long time ago and switched to xfburn. I found it easier to use and less problematic. | 21:51 |
| lucien | pragmaticenigma: thanks, but if it doesn't work, why is it still rolled with the latest ubuntu? | 21:52 |
| hangdeadman | Can I repartiotion free space from my ubuntu partition and then install wondows along side the pre existing ubuntu? | 21:52 |
| pragmaticenigma | Dead-i: switching the cable is not a good idea. You can accidentally burn out your graphics chips. And it's possible that each time you go back and forth, X is automatically switching the primary display. | 21:53 |
| milamber | hangdeadman: yes | 21:53 |
| hangdeadman | milamber: how? | 21:53 |
| pragmaticenigma | lucien: Because they opted for a burning program that works for most people. | 21:53 |
| milamber | hangdeadman: step 1, make backups, step 2 resize partition using a livecd/usb with gparted, step 3, install windows, step 4 - fix grub | 21:54 |
| dr_willis | dont skip step 1 | 21:54 |
| pragmaticenigma | lucien: Both programs are just wrappers around the actual programs that are used for burning. They just may implement the burning process differently which makes the difference. | 21:55 |
| lucien | ok thanks pragmaticenigma | 21:55 |
| hangdeadman | what is a good way to backup ubuntu? And How do I fix grub? | 21:55 |
| milamber | !backup | 21:55 |
| ubottu | There are many ways to back your system up.

| alcaprawn | its best jsut to ask you're questions :p | 23:11 |
| DeltaHeavy | Does Ubuntu change the file names for an Apache install? httpd.conf is what I'd expect to be my vhosts file in extra/ that doesn't exist, and apachectl is now apache2ctl? | 23:12 |
| agent | Hi op :) I'm new and here with questions too. People have been nice so far | 23:12 |
| Operateur | thanks IdleOne | 23:12 |
| Operateur | that'sounds great agent | 23:13 |
| Operateur | how can i install skype on ubuntu ? | 23:20 |
| ikonia | !skype | Operateur | 23:20 |
| ubottu | Operateur: To install Skype on Ubuntu, see https://help.ubuntu.com/community/Skype - To record on Skype, check: https://wiki.ubuntu.com/SkypeRecordingHowto - Please use open protocols instead if you can, see !Ekiga | 23:20 |
| Operateur | great bot!:D | 23:21 |
| DeltaHeavy | Anybody know if it's Ubuntu who modifies filenames etc for Apache compared to compiling from source? | 23:21 |
| ikonia | DeltaHeavy: what ? | 23:21 |
| DeltaHeavy | ikonia: When I compile Apache from source, httpd.conf is what apache2.conf is on Ubuntu, and there's no extras/ directory on Ubuntu, and apachectl is called apache2ctl on Ubuntu | 23:22 |
| ikonia | DeltaHeavy: and ? | 23:22 |
| ikonia | DeltaHeavy: you can call the files anything you want, they are just compile time options | 23:22 |
| DeltaHeavy | Why is it like that? Is it Ubuntu that does that? | 23:22 |
| ikonia | DeltaHeavy: who else would it be who does it ? | 23:22 |
| DeltaHeavy | Ok, got it. Hate this stupid configuration. Makes no sense. | 23:23 |
| DeltaHeavy | Every other compile or package on every other distro is completley different than this. | 23:23 |
| DeltaHeavy | Is this supposed to make things "easier" or something? | 23:23 |
| ikonia | DeltaHeavy: what are you talking about, distros compile apache different..... | 23:23 |
| DeltaHeavy | ikonia: Ubuntu compiles it VASTLY different compared to Debian, CentOS, Gentoo, Arch etc | 23:24 |
| ikonia | DeltaHeavy: not really, default layout is different, and some config file names are changed | 23:25 |
| DeltaHeavy | I'd rather a package stay close to the defaults as possible, and let me configure changes instead of making decisions for me confusing anybody with previous experiance | 23:25 |
| ikonia | the base product is still the same, | 23:25 |
| ikonia | DeltaHeavy: build your own package then | 23:25 |
| DeltaHeavy | It is, it's just the layout is different as all hell. httpd.conf in Ubuntu and httpd.conf in CentOS/default compile are totally different | 23:25 |
| klingo | hello, does ubuntu gnome remix have its own channel ? | 23:25 |
| DeltaHeavy | I will I guess, I hate it when Ubuntu tires to make things "easier" | 23:25 |
| DeltaHeavy | I guess it's fine if I have no clue what I'm doing and it's my first time using Apache which is what I guess Ubuntu is trying to apeal to. | 23:26 |
| ikonia | DeltaHeavy: it's not really that different, it's just a modular approach | 23:26 |
| DeltaHeavy | I'd consider the other layouts much more modular than this. | 23:26 |
| ikonia | DeltaHeavy: please stop trying to sound like you know what you're doing and its "ok for noobs" - if you knew what you where doing it's pretty straightforward the changes | 23:26 |
| ikonia | DeltaHeavy: | 23:26 |
| t4nk809 | hey, my computer has been running really slow lately, im running windows 7, do you think if i do a clean install of ubuntu that it will speed up my computer? I like the layout of ubuntu and everything, but I dont want to download it if its going to be slower than windows 7 | 23:26 |
| bobolopolis | DeltaHeavy: I don't think its an attempt to make it easier, its just that each distro has different conventions and ideas about the "right" way to do configurations | 23:26 |
| ikonia | it's an attempt at a module design, some like it, some don't | 23:27 |
| ikonia | if it bothers you, rebuild the package | 23:27 |
| DeltaHeavy | ikonia: I know what I"m doing unless everything is almost completely changed around. I wouldn't be using Ubuntu regardless for this task | 23:27 |
| Giggles | Hey ubuntu when I try to upgrade it says I don't have enough free space in /var/cache/apt/archives, wat do? | 23:27 |
| DeltaHeavy | I'd rather trust Apache to configure Apache than a company that can't even make a DE that doesn't lag terribly | 23:27 |
| srhb | DeltaHeavy: Also, you are complaining about things where Ubuntu is actually adhering more to standards than certain other things, for instance with respect to httpd.conf | 23:27 |
| ikonia | DeltaHeavy: if you know what you are doing, it's very straight forward to put a sane httpd.conf in place instead of the apache2.conf | 23:28 |
| srhb | DeltaHeavy: Yes, now you're being very objective. :P | 23:28 |
| DeltaHeavy | srhb: So a default compile is less to standards than Ubuntu's configuration? | 23:28 |
| ikonia | DeltaHeavy: stop talking about a "default compile" | 23:28 |
| IdleOne | Can we stop the blogging about how much everything sucks? | 23:28 |
| ikonia | DeltaHeavy: no distro uses a deault compile | 23:28 |
| DeltaHeavy | "Default configuration" | 23:28 |
| ikonia | DeltaHeavy: none of them use default configuratio | 23:28 |
| DeltaHeavy | When I run './configure ; make ; make install' | 23:28 |
| DeltaHeavy | CentOS is MUCH closer to that than Ubuntu | 23:28 |
| ikonia | DeltaHeavy: none of them use that | 23:28 |
| alcaprawn | any mpd experts here? | 23:28 |
| alcaprawn | its driving me insane >.># | 23:28 |
| IdleOne | alcaprawn: try #mpd | 23:29 |
| alcaprawn | good idea pal, :P | 23:29 |
| DeltaHeavy | ikonia: None of them change it to something rediculous like Ubuntu. Most of them stay generally similar. | 23:30 |
| IdleOne | DeltaHeavy: did you get the answer to your question? | 23:30 |
| ikonia | utter nonsense | 23:30 |
| IdleOne | This discussion is now off topic. Please stop. | 23:30 |
| ikonia | good luck in your dream land of "./configure && make" | 23:30 |
| belgianguy | In Eclipse I see something reference ${ANDROID_NDK}, where should this variable be defined? | 23:31 |
| belgianguy | as it can't find it | 23:31 |
| DeltaHeavy | IdleOne: I did, was just confused why Ubuntu would stray so insanely far from the defaults. | 23:31 |
| ikonia | because it doesn't | 23:32 |
| IdleOne | DeltaHeavy: because they can so they did. continue in #ubuntu-offtopic. I'm sure ikonia would be glad to explain it to you if he has the time. | 23:32 |
| DeltaHeavy | I guess you're not very familiar with Apache's defaults | 23:32 |
| IdleOne | or didn't*. whatever. | 23:33 |
| ikonia | pretty sure I am | 23:33 |
| lurk_ | anyone have experience using unetbootin to locally mount an ISO to do a distro install? can you msg me, I have a couple questions | 23:34 |
| yeats | DeltaHeavy: see here for the diffs that Ubuntu applies (most of which are actually inherited from Debian as I understand it) - there are also suggested links for feedback on the right of the page | 23:34 |
| yeats | http://packages.ubuntu.com/precise/apache2 | 23:34 |
| ActionParsnip | lurk_: grub2 can boot ISOs on its own. Unetbootin is used to make bootable USB sticks and similar | 23:35 |
| lurk_ | so I can just throw the iso on a partition, boot from that and install? | 23:35 |
| lurk_ | after editing grub that is | 23:35 |
| dr_willis | you can setup grub2 to boot an ISO file.. if you can figure out the right options | 23:37 |
| dr_willis | no unetbootin needed. ;) | 23:37 |
| dr_willis | got some bookmarks on it at delicious.com/dr_willis but they may be outdated | 23:38 |
| === jmascarua_ is now known as jmascarua | ||
| d4rkh4nd | So i made a kdialog app (i guess you can call it) and now i would like to intergrade xdialog into it is there a easy way to do this ? | 23:39 |
| fearphage | 12.10 is showing only one cpu while 12.04 showed 8. here's the cpuinfo from 12.04 https://gist.github.com/ebabcc23991b741f67f3 vs 12.10 http://paste.ubuntu.com/1470631/ ; dmesg = https://gist.github.com/9942d27ccba5ec6bbfe6 ; `uname -r` = 3.5.0-21-generic | 23:39 |
| iceroot | fearphage: what is "lscpu" showing? | 23:43 |
| lucien | welp 4.1gb vfat volume, I try to copy 3*1.1gb files to it, no space left. what? | 23:44 |
| lucien | the irony is that I copied those 3*1.1gb to harddisk from this 4.1gb volume | 23:44 |
| iceroot | lucien: and deleted them after? | 23:44 |
| lucien | iceroot: yep... | 23:45 |
| iceroot | lucien: what is "df" showing for that device? | 23:45 |
| ActionParsnip | lucien: how is that ironic? | 23:45 |
| iceroot | lucien: you deleted the files with the gui? then they are in the .trash of that device | 23:45 |
| lucien | use 100% | 23:45 |
| lucien | available 0 | 23:45 |
| lucien | :\ | 23:45 |
| lucien | welp | 23:45 |
| iceroot | lucien: then check the .trash dir on that device | 23:46 |
| IdleOne | the device has those 3.3GB in the .trash | 23:46 |
| lucien | how do I delete them from there? | 23:46 |
| lucien | if i try to delete it's going through an endlessloop | 23:46 |
| iceroot | lucien: use the filebrowser and press ctrl +h to see hidden files or use the shell to access .trash | 23:46 |
| lucien | where they still get in the .trash-1000 | 23:46 |
| retromingent | So what is Ubuntuplex? | 23:47 |
| lucien | If I delete them their folder is just going to get renamed *.2 | 23:47 |
| lucien | wrrryy | 23:47 |
| ActionParsnip | lucien: is the data on the device needed now? | 23:48 |
| const_antine | usb flashdrive with very little use is working with very slow write speed | 23:48 |
| const_antine | can i diagnose the problem? | 23:48 |
| lucien | ActionParsnip: no... | 23:48 |
| retromingent | I should have said, what is the "new Ubuntu production" announced at Ubuntuplex? A lot of buzz, I guess. | 23:48 |
| ActionParsnip | lucien: then format it and the issue vanishes too | 23:48 |
| lucien | oh I moved the trash to trash and it deleted itself | 23:49 |
| lucien | thanks guys | 23:49 |
| const_antine | usb flashdrive fs is fat32 | 23:49 |
| const_antine | somebody on the internet said it's important | 23:49 |
| ActionParsnip | fat32 needs to die | 23:49 |
| zenlike | dr_willis: I got my Xmonad stuff working the way I wanted. Thanks! | 23:49 |
| const_antine | ActionParsnip, agreed | 23:50 |
| const_antine | the sentence shall be executed to-night | 23:50 |
| lucien | ActionParsnip: yep | 23:50 |
| zenlike | For anyone curious, I ended up launching the applications from xmonad.hs. see: spawnOn. .xsession and .xinitrc do not work for me. | 23:50 |
| lucien | The only ubuntu-related problems I ever had were actually caused by windows and its respective proprietaries. | 23:51 |
| ikonia | windows has no effect on ubuntu | 23:51 |
| ikonia | please don't blame Windows for any failings in ubuntu | 23:52 |
| lucien | ikonia: it's proprietaries have, ntfs and fat32 for example. | 23:52 |
| agent | Is it possible certain things are not compatiable with older versions of Ubuntu that are still being updated? | 23:52 |
| ikonia | don't use them in linux then | 23:52 |
| lucien | ikonia: most of the devices I own use fat32 | 23:52 |
| ikonia | don't use them in linux then | 23:52 |
| faryshta | Is it possible to add a USB as a repository the same way you can add a CD-ROM? | 23:53 |
| lucien | ikonia: (I'm getting offtopic in here) but what if I don't want to own a windows installation? | 23:53 |
| ActionParsnip | ikonia: i've seen wifis needing to be set to not be able to wake up a system for the wifi adapter to be used in Ubuntu a few times | 23:53 |
| ikonia | lucien: then don't have one | 23:53 |
| ActionParsnip | faryshta: its no different in Linux, they are just block devices | 23:53 |
| ikonia | ActionParsnip: yeah, that's a bug, same with a certain sound card, but that's not "windows" fault | 23:54 |
| ActionParsnip | ikonia: i though it held the hardware hostage with some setting. | 23:54 |
| ikonia | ActionParsnip: as I recall the driver updated a flag on the firmware somehow | 23:54 |
| ActionParsnip | ikonia: i see, makes sense | 23:54 |
| ikonia | ActionParsnip: but again "windows" didn't write those drivers | 23:55 |
| ikonia | ActionParsnip: I know where you are going though | 23:55 |
| faryshta | ActionParsnip: how? I have the USB mounted but I can't install packages from there. | 23:55 |
| ActionParsnip | faryshta: you can mark the folder as a source for packages | 23:55 |
| ikonia | ActionParsnip: really? does it not have to have the metadata in ? | 23:55 |
| faryshta | ActionParsnip: ok let me try | 23:56 |
| [snake] | I'm having a problem. when I move a folder of files onto my flashdrive the permissions are changed and I can no longer execute a shell script. but it needs to be done this way | 23:56 |
| faryshta | ActionParsnip: I am on synaptic. Where do I click? | 23:57 |
| ikonia | [snake]: someone else had this problem a few days ago | 23:57 |
| fearphage | iceroot: https://gist.github.com/c061dcaa549768259784 | 23:57 |
| ActionParsnip | ikonia: if memory serves. Let me check | 23:57 |
| ikonia | [snake]: it looks like ubunut is removing the execute bit as a security feature | 23:57 |
| ikonia | [snake]: I tried on the day to find any information about it as a feature but struggled | 23:58 |
| [snake] | I never wanted their security :C | 23:58 |
| bkc_ | [snake]: I'm guessing that flashdrive is formated with fat32 right ? | 23:58 |
| bkc_ | (or ntfs) | 23:58 |
| [snake] | bkc_, yes. is that the issue lol | 23:58 |
| bkc_ | yes | 23:58 |
| [snake] | haha, I forgot | 23:58 |
| [snake] | it doesn't do permissions. :P | 23:58 |
| faryshta | ActionParsnip: I can't find the option to add folder repositories, only CD-ROM | 23:58 |
| bkc_ | vfat doesn't store the permissions from ext(2,3,4) | 23:59 |
| ikonia | [snake]: the tests I did also had the same problems with ext2,3,4 | 23:59 |
| ActionParsnip | faryshta: can't you use: file;///media/cdrom0/whatever/folder/name | 23:59 |
| bkc_ | neither does NTFS iirc :/ | 23:59 |
| [snake] | ikonia, let me try it out. | 23:59 |
| ikonia | [snake]: so while fat doesn't store permissions, the problem doesn't actually appear to be limited to the file system | 23:59 |
