owDear #ubuntu: I'm using the latest Ubuntu LTS. What's the fastest, easiest way to share a folder in a way that Windows machines (actually, my Samsung Blu-Ray player that automatically discovers network shares) can see it?00:02

kusznirHi all: quick question: ubuntu 10.04, running as a server (no gui).  I've built my firewall rules; iptables -L shows what I want.  What's the "proper ubuntu way" to set those to persist across reboots?00:14
dpurgertkusznir, add an entry to your /etc/network/interfaces00:15
kusznirdpurgert: I don't see anything in there that enlightens me how to do this...There's a whole ruleset.  (On most other OSes, I'd run /etc/init.d/iptables save).  Google keeps turning up more old/wrong/bad info than good...Any specific recommendations?00:16

ActionParsnipkusznir: https://help.ubuntu.com/community/IptablesHowTo   shows how to setup the iptables to be setup at boot00:16
Anonimohi00:17
TheLordOfTimekusznir, my suggestion? install iptables-persistent00:18
TheLordOfTimekusznir, it'll save rules into /etc/iptables/rules.v4 or /etc/iptables/rules.v6 (one's ipv4 one's ipv6), and will reload them on boot.00:19

ubottuUnity is the default UI since Ubuntu 11.04.  Unity is a shell for GNOME. see http://unity.ubuntu.com. For a GNOME 2-like experience, see !notunity00:32
theverantYeah, it's been 7 minutes and only 42% read so far00:32
ixio2!notunity00:32
ubottuUbuntu 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 !classic00:32
theverantIt's the same whether or not I use the Canadaian servers or the Main Server00:32

SuperLagCreed: you talking to me?00:36
owSo I guess what I need to know is, what package do I reinstall to make smb.conf the skeletal default, and how do I do that00:36
owWhat Ubuntu package creates /etc/samba/smb.conf ?00:39

SuperLagthe limits aren't an issue on current hardware, with 64-bit systems00:52
memandI have been reading some places that certain things (they did not specify what) is unstable on 64-bit, but it was some old articles so maybe that is not the case anymore?00:52
SuperLagthe limits could be an issue on a 32-bit system00:52
CongActionParsnip, server method is?00:53
SuperLagmemand: like what?00:53
dr_willisI cant think of anything i find unstable on 64bit.,00:53

dr_willisOnly app i can recall that dident have 64bit port was zsnes. ;) but its working now on 64bit00:53
memandSuperLag: the only thing that they really specified was flash, but they have never been good with 64-bit on any system00:54

somsipsagitta007: this looks reasonable: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=6oV5qmOHjZk01:44
Sir_Fawnpugsagitta007, ahh, OK.01:44
sagitta007somsip: the issue with that is my interfaces has no etho it has lo which is god knows what01:44
Sir_FawnpugI've never really done it any other way cause usually any time I need a static IP, it tends to be running on a machine that is headless anyway01:44
CongActionParsnip, do you have a list of the debs required, seems like a mighty big list.01:45
Sir_Fawnpugsagitta007, lo is the local loopback interface01:45
somsipsagitta007: is your connection over wifi or cable?01:45
Sir_FawnpugIt's something that exists mostly for testing the network stack01:45
ActionParsnipCong: you'll have to see what the deb needs and what is installed now01:45
sagitta007somsip: right now using cale01:46
ActionParsnipCong: the wired connection will make all this a tonne easier for you01:46
sagitta007Somsip: cable*01:46
somsipsagitta007: you connect to your router using a cable, and not a wifi connection?01:46
sagitta007Somsip: sometimes this sometimes that01:46
Sir_Fawnpugsagitta007, but you said you don't have an interface called eth0, yeah?01:46
Ismailescuhow can i upgrade the libttf4 package ? :)01:47
Ismailescuin terminal01:47
sagitta007Sir_Fawnpug that is what has been bugging me when  u use a cable ur supposed to have eth)01:47
sagitta007*eth001:47
Sir_Fawnpugsagitta007, what that usually means is that Ubuntu didn't see your network card01:48
somsipsagitta007: networking is not my strong point and Sir_Fawnpug seems to have this so I'm backing off01:48
Sir_FawnpugCan you do a quick "lspci | grep -i "eth"?01:48
sagitta007Sir_Fawnpug what do I do now01:48
sagitta007ok01:48
Sir_Fawnpugsagitta007, what we're going to try is find the appropriate driver and get ubuntu to load it for you01:48
sagitta007Sir_Fawnpug 01:00.0 Ethernet controller: Broadcom Corporation NetLink BCM57780 Gigabit Ethernet PCIe (rev 01) was the feedback01:49
Sir_Fawnpugsagitta007, ahh, broadcom is always kinda finnicky when it comes to linux, let's see if we can find the appropriate driver01:50
Sir_FawnpugTry "modprobe tg3"01:51
Sir_FawnpugNote that you need to be root, so you may have to prepend that with sudo01:51
BONG_IT_can i downgrade apache2 to lower version01:52
Sir_FawnpugBONG_IT, like apache 1.3?01:52
sagitta007_Sir Pawnpug:returned01:52
Sir_FawnpugOK, do lsmod | grep "tg3"01:52
Sir_FawnpugSee if it says tg3 plus a couple of numbers01:53
sagitta007_SirPawnpug: tg3                   152032  0  is what my output was01:53
Sir_FawnpugExcellent, now let's try lshw -C network, to see if your card is listed01:54
magmahow can I see the user who copied some dirs of mine?01:54
Sir_Fawnpugmagma, you mean like track whether or not your directory's been copied?01:55
magmaSir_Fawnpug: exactly01:55
BONG_IT_can i downgrade apache2 to lower version01:55
Sir_FawnpugAFAIK you can't, but you can do something to prevent it01:55
magmaSir_Fawnpug: like what?01:55
Sir_FawnpugBONG_IT_, what version are you wanting?01:55
sagitta007_Sir Fawnpug: PCI (sysfs)   SCSI                         *-network                description: Ethernet interface        product: NetLink BCM57780 Gigabit Ethernet PCIe        vendor: Broadcom Corporation        physical id: 0        bus info: pci@0000:01:00.0        logical name: eth0        version: 01        serial: 88:ae:1d:84:09:a6        size: 100Mbit/s        capacity: 1Gbit/s        width: 64 bits        clock: 33MHz       01:56
BONG_IT_2.2.901:56
magmaSir_Fawnpug: I can read the .bash of all user to see who used cp on my dirs. Byt through sftp there is nothing like that right01:56
BONG_IT_is there any pinoys here01:56
Sir_Fawnpugmagma, oh, I think I understand. Maybe there's logs?01:56
magmathat's what I'm trying to find01:57
Sir_FawnpugLogs usually live in /var/log01:57
sagitta007_Sir Fawnpug: posting output01:57
Sir_Fawnpugsagitta007_, pastebin is probably good if it's big output01:57

Sir_FawnpugBut yeah, your network card is assigned to eth0 now.01:58

KI4ROAnyone figured out how to stop RHYTHMBOX?02:00
Sir_Fawnpugtype ifconfig into your console and see if eth0 has been assigned anything02:00
Sir_FawnpugKI4RO, you're trying to kill it?02:01

BONG_IT_how to setup static ip in ubuntu 12.04 LTS02:01
sagitta007_Sir Fawnpug I need a static Ip though02:02
Jeremy3Dwhat's a good screen cast program for making video movies/tutorials?02:02
Sir_FawnpugNow we need to make that persist02:02
KI4ROSir_Fawnpug, I can kill it through System Monitor.  Just want it to stop normally when I close it02:02
ActionParsnipJeremy3D: kazam, recordmydesktop02:02
Sir_Fawnpugsagitta007_, well, the first part was getting your network card loaded02:02
ActionParsnipBONG_IT_: use network manager02:02
Sir_FawnpugKI4RO, oh, I couldn't help you there, I've never used it.02:02
Jeremy3Dah i think i downloaded recordmydesktop at some point. got a preference ActionParsnip ?02:02
sagitta007_Sir Fawnpug let's do it02:02
KI4ROSir_Fawnpug, Thanks any way02:02
ActionParsnipJeremy3D: not really, try both02:02
Sir_Fawnpugsagitta007_, before we set up the static IP we need to get ubuntu to automatically load up that module at boot time.02:03
Sir_FawnpugBut that's not hard. Just do nano -w /etc/modules, add a line with tg3, and hit ctrl-o02:03
Sir_FawnpugIf you do that then you won't have to do modprobe each time02:03
BONG_IT_can i use in /etc/network/interfaces02:04
ActionParsnipBONG_IT_: sure02:04
Jeremy3DActionParsnip, 10-4, thank you02:04
sagitta007_Fawnpug at nano -w /etc/modules now what02:05
sagitta007_Fawnpug: very nervous with command line02:06
Sir_FawnpugDid you add a line with tg3 in it?02:06
Sir_Fawnpugsagitta007_, I understand; the command line can be a bit intimidating at first.02:06
sagitta007_Fawnpug tg3 affirmative02:06
Sir_FawnpugOK, did you do ctrl-o?02:06
WXZI just setup dual monitors on lucid, both VGA but one's connected with a DVI->VGA adapter, and the VGA one just blacks out when I get to the login screen02:07

DunitekDoes anyone else here hate Unity?02:12
sagitta007_Dunitek: I miss the old GNOME02:12
Sir_Fawnpugsagitta007_, so I've never done it this way but you're using Unity, right?02:12
alexhairymansagitta007_, have you seen MATE?02:12
Sir_FawnpugDunitek, I swear by fluxbox myself02:13
sagitta007_alexhairyman no man sorry02:13

WXZI just setup dual monitors on lucid, both VGA but one's connected with a DVI->VGA adapter, and the VGA one just blacks out when I get to the login screen02:13
alexhairymansagitta007_, it's a gnome 2 fork that carries on the legacy02:13
DunitekNice, I always remove unity and log in to classic. Why Fluxbox, what is so great about it in your opinion?02:13
sagitta007_Fawnpug: affirmative02:13

Sir_FawnpugWXZ, what kind of video card do you have? Sorry, long day at work.02:14
WXZSir_Fawnpug: it's a radeon hd 5450, do you want the GPU?02:14
sagitta007_fawnpug: Unity 2D man in the words of DOS No such file or directory02:15

ActionParsnipDunitek: fluxbox is easy to configure and light02:15
Sir_FawnpugActionParsnip, I've thought about checking E17 out lately02:15
WXZSir_Fawnpug: it's a radeon hd 5450 graphics card02:16

BONG_IT_i have a problem in apache2 http://paste.ubuntu.com/1508318/02:20
biloi have a problem with my xubuntu02:20
WXZSir_Fawnpug: whatever the case with what graphics card you have, generally you have to install a driver, correct?02:20
Sir_FawnpugWXZ, https://help.ubuntu.com/community/RadeonDriver02:20
BONG_IT_im using 12.0402:20
Sir_FawnpugWXZ, well, not always; the proprietary drivers sometimes have their own way of doing things.02:21
Sir_FawnpugLike NVidia has TwinView for that purpose02:21
sagitta007Fawnpug: I smoke cigars once a while hbu?02:21
DunitekBONG_IT, Your PHP Script runs only on PHP402:21
DunitekOR PHP 5.2 or lower02:21
bilo:-(02:21
Sir_Fawnpugsagitta007, I smoke cigarettes way too frequently for my own good.02:21
Sir_Fawnpugsagitta007, I haven't forgotten about you, BTW02:22
sagitta007Fawnpug: a large cigar a month is all I do02:22
Sir_Fawnpugsagitta007, but I did find this: http://www.sudo-juice.com/how-to-a-set-static-ip-in-ubuntu/02:22
Sir_FawnpugSometimes I like to smoke a pipe, but I don't do it all that often.02:22
DaemeonZaneNeed some help. I'm uding WUBI to install 12.10, and I've gotten hung up. Output is as follows: ubuntu kernel: [840.440194]  [<c15d04fe>] kernel_thread_helper+0x6/0x1002:23

BONG_IT_how can i lower my php sir02:23
somsipDunitek: seems like the error is not the deprecations, but the missing mcrypt and pdo plugin BONG_IT_02:23
sagitta007Fawnpug: weaned myself onto herbal leaves02:24
Sir_Fawnpugsagitta007, on the rare occasion that I do, I usually smoke black cavendish.02:24
BONG_IT_what can i do somsip02:24
DaemeonZaneBlack Cavendish is good stuff02:24
Sir_Fawnpugsagitta007, haha, I dont think I will ask.02:24
sagitta007Fawnpug: not what you think its mint02:24
somsipBONG_IT_: install them - php5-mcrypt and php5-pdo-mysql (possibly)02:24
BONG_IT_whats the exact comman sir02:25
Sir_FawnpugThat sounds like a peculiar kind of smoke if you ask me.02:25
somsipBONG_IT_: or php5-mysql (assuming it is mysql)02:25
BONG_IT_or should i lower my php5?02:25
SuperMiguelthere is no alternate install on 12.10 for fake raid??02:25
somsipBONG_IT_: you can but it's simpler to just install what is needed02:25
Sir_FawnpugDaemeonZane, a british colleague of mine got me started on it.02:25
sagitta007Fawnpug: Just survived a lung transfer I need to get off and I am doing well02:25
DunitekBONG_IT, somsip is suggesting that you run "sudo apt-get install php5-mcrypt php5-pdo-mysql php5-mysql"02:26
Sir_Fawnpugsagitta007, i'm glad to hear the transfer went well.02:26
DunitekIf this fails maybe you should reinstall LAMP02:26
somsipDunitek: BONG_IT_ yeah, but I think i was wrong with php5-pdo-mysql.02:26
Sir_Fawnpugsagitta007, anyway, you might find this link useful: http://www.sudo-juice.com/how-to-a-set-static-ip-in-ubuntu/02:26
Sir_FawnpugLet's see if ubottu has anything on the subject02:26
sagitta007Fawnpug: apparently I have a twin unlike many  people and his lung proved useful02:26
Sir_Fawnpug!static-ip02:27
BONG_IT_ok theres an error to download the php5-mcrypt02:27
Sir_Fawnpugsagitta007, alternately, does your router let you set up static leases?02:27
somsipBONG_IT_: much better if you tell us what it is02:27
sagitta007Fawnpug: No clue to what you said, but Static constantly changes IP right?02:28
Sir_Fawnpugsagitta007, no, that is dynamic.02:28
Sir_FawnpugStatic means that your IP remainss constant02:28
Sir_FawnpugIf you want a dynamic IP, then you're more or less done.02:29
sagitta007Fawnpug: I feel like leaping into the english channel02:29
BONG_IT_heres the error http://paste.ubuntu.com/1508327/02:29

sagitta007Fawnpug the one off London02:29
seednodeHue02:29
somsipBONG_IT_: just the repo not responding, that's all. Try again, or try a different source02:30
sagitta007Fawnpug a Dynamic DHCP will do?02:30
Sir_FawnpugActionParsnip, I see what you did there.02:30
ActionParsnipsagitta007: the D in DHCP stands for Dynamic02:30
Sir_Fawnpugsagitta007, you don't mind your IP changing, right?02:30
Sir_FawnpugIf you don't, then you're more or less done.02:30
Sir_FawnpugIf (for some reason) you want your IP address to stay the same, then there's more to do.02:31
somsipBONG_IT_: this seems to be the official ubuntu mirror, though maybe the one you have on the pastebin is usually better for you for some reason https://launchpad.net/ubuntu/+mirror/mirror.pregi.net-archive02:31

magmaWhere is the log that stores authentication information?03:02
somsipmagma: /var/log/auth03:02
magmathanks03:03
magmasomsip: and do you know where is logged SFTP information?03:03
somsipmagma: never used it. Sorry03:03
SolarisBoydniMretsaM: if the prompt is your issue you can either set up key based access (without a passcode thought thats secure it defeats your prompt issue cause), or you can create a wrapper that uses expect or a similar library to await the prompt and enter the data you require - however if you say setting up keys is overkill thats possibly assasination03:04
magmasomsip: is it safe to delete the auth.log?03:05
Sir_Fawnpugmagma, yeah, it's just a log03:06
dniMretsaMSolarisBoy: my main goal is to ask for the password on my end and thus open only the remote X session. usually, it pops up an xterm window to ask for the authentication03:06
somsipmagma: I've never done that. You might find that syslog (whatever) stops logging auth entries until you reboot though03:06
Sir_FawnpugYeah, somsip has a good point.03:06
dniMretsaMbut maybe I'm going about this in the wrong way. any other thoughts?03:06
BONG_IT_phpinfo() as in i write this command03:06
Sir_FawnpugI've to ask, bTW, is that a reference to the self organizing map?03:06
magmasomsip: you mean that the log is deleted on reboot?03:06
somsipBONG_IT_: Enter the PHP interactive shell (php -a) and call the phpinfo function (with 'phpinfo();)') but if you're asking this, you might have a long difficult journey to get this working and that is going to go way OT03:07
Sir_Fawnpugmagma, what he may mean is that syslog may cease to function until you reboot03:07
somsipmagma: I'm guessing, but I think it's fair to expect that to happen03:07
Sir_Fawnpugmagma, without getting into too much detail I'm not sure what happens if you delete a file with an open file descriptor03:08
BONG_IT_heres the error when i restart my apache2 http://paste.ubuntu.com/1508387/03:08
somsipBONG_IT_: never seen that before. You'll need to look it up. I'm not doing that dfor you03:08

kslaterwhy is my load factor so high on Ubuntu desktop 12.04.1?03:18
Sir_Fawnpugkslater, are you running a bunch of programs at once?03:19
kslateruh, not that I know of03:19
wbfSir_Fawnpug, I have a belkin f5d505003:19
Sir_Fawnpugkslater, load average is essentially a measure of how many programs the kernel didn't get around to executing in a given timeslice03:20
WXZeverytime I uncheck the box which says "same image in all monitors" and restart, it just goes back to being checked.03:20
Sir_FawnpugSo a high load average indicates that some program is hogging a lot of CPU time03:20
kslaterjbd2 seems to be doing a fair bit of io according to iotop03:20
Sir_FawnpugWell, IO usually causes a program to sleep03:21
Sir_FawnpugWZX, try modprobe usbnet03:21

Tr3nTna03:23
Sir_Fawnpugkslater, pidgin should be fairly I/O bound unless there's a serious bug in it, which could be the case03:23

Sir_Fawnpugkslater, it might help to install valgrind on your machine. You can use that to do code profiling.03:24
Sir_FawnpugKeep in mind that valgrind slows things down A LOT though.03:24
Tr3nTi get all this stuff free so i want to build a media pc03:25

Sna4x8Anyone used php5-mysqlnd (mysql native driver) in 12.04?  http://pastebin.com/EcYm2PQ9  segfaults for me if I change line 11 to false.03:38
somsipSna4x8: should the $conStr be difference to use mysqlnd?03:40
somsip*different03:40
Sna4x8Don't think so, no, at least that throws a "Driver not found" exception.03:40
ProfesorDavismaybe i doing this wrong, but how come i cant do ls /volumes to check my volumes through terminal on Ubuntu?03:41
Sna4x8At any rate, with php5-mysql it works, but if I apt-get install php5-mysqlnd the same code segfaults.03:41
somsipSna4x8: Not finding anything specific except ATTR_EMULATE_PREPARES appears to default to 1 anyway03:42
Sna4x8somsip: Yea, I want to set it to false.  My code works fine if I leave it true.03:43
Sna4x8When it's set to false, fetch(PDO::FETCH_CLASS) will return native db types, which I want (i.e. MySQL integer columns come back as ints).03:44
somsipSna4x8: ah - misleading pastebin. looks like this might tell you something given 'will not work with the follwiong set to 0" http://stackoverflow.com/questions/6346674/pdo-support-for-multiple-queries-pdo-mysql-pdo-mysqlnd03:45

Sna4x8somsip: But that's just for multiple statements.  I don't need (or want) to allow multiple statements to be executed.03:47
kslaterwasn't pidgin. could be chrome I suppose.03:47
kslaterdual core and neither is executing about 20% or so03:48
Sna4x8Besides, I disagree with that so.  mysqlnd is native as of php 5.4 AFAIK (http://dev.mysql.com/downloads/connector/php-mysqlnd/ <-- some backup for that).03:48
somsipSna4x8: K. I'm just searching, so maybe you need someone else03:48

Sna4x8Hrm, I haven't seen that one.  I did post on one bug report, but it's old (although unresolved).03:51
somsipSna4x8: in a search I got a few, that seemed most relevant but I didn't read through for a solution03:51
tompaHello03:51
Sna4x8That pretty much sums up the issue I'm having: persistent + !emulate_prepares = segfault with invalid pointer.03:52
jordan_exit03:53
Sna4x8*grumbles*.  I suppose the solution is use the standard php-mysql driver and do the type conversions in my code.03:53

wajeembaHello all, I'm trying to understand the dd command better- I need to move the contents of one partition to another. What will happen if the partition I'm copying to is larger than the one copied from? Will that space be lost outside the filesystem, or will it become free space? OR, would I be able to recover the space using a cfdisk maximize command?05:34

dr_willismenu.lst is not used by grub205:52
dr_willisluis_:  it bash scripting basics..  first line defines it being a script. #!/bin/bash     sleep does just that.. waits 30 sec.. then it runs conky.05:52

NaughxLets talk louder! XD07:05
one_ok.,,.,.07:06
Naughx@Mcgiwer, what is your problem? Maybe we could help you ^_^07:06
McgiwerMy Luks partition (with system and all data) got damaged and I would like to recover the data from it... the problem is that this kind of partition is encrypted and normal recovery is impossible07:08
=== tspxx is now known as tspx
Naughxdo you remember your key?07:09
Mcgiwerthat's not the point... it stopped to be visible as Luks partition and it's visible as unknown one07:11
NaughxYes, because it's encrypted, it cannot detect the file system, you have to decrypt it.07:11
goddardi have another hard drive on my laptop can I use it to do some kind of raid?\07:11
billy_ran_awayCan anyone help with an lvm problem?07:13
thorgoddard: you can use software raid07:13
McgiwerI had backuped some of the data on an PenDrive (Usb stick), but it seem that this ubuntu (12) has caused that it has been damaged in hardware way >.<07:13
billy_ran_awayI can't remove an inactive unmounted LV… http://cl.ly/M0vd07:14
invariantIs anyone of you using ZFS on Linux?07:14
ShirakawasunaHey, so I want to do lvm + software raid on my media pc. Do I need a separate /boot partition that's not part of the LVM group thing?07:15
Mcgiwerand no, I can't do any kind of raid when I have data on this disk... doing raid may damage them07:15
invariantIs it the best thing since sliced bread or do you think it isn't all that great?07:15
dr_willisinvariant:  really havent heard much about it.. :)07:17
dr_willis!zfs07:17
ubottuFor information concerning ZFS and Ubuntu, see: https://wiki.ubuntu.com/ZFS07:17
invariantdr_willis, I had seen that already. That's just marketing talk without the stories of actual users.07:17
Naughx@Mcgiwer... You could try to backup your full partition with dd >.<07:18
NaughxAnd mess with it after...07:19
dr_willisinvariant:  thats the extent of what ive seen mentioned about zfs here.07:19
Mcgiwer@Naughx: what would that give? I will remain in the same point as I'm now07:19
invariantI recently saw a video on Windows 8 storage spaces and that seems to be exactly what I need.07:19
* Mcgiwer is away: Walking my dog out07:19

invariantI don't like much else about Windows 8, but that sure looked slick and easy.07:20
NaughxWindows is evil... :P07:23

dr_willisI see way to many people with problems with Raid in here. ;) but this is where people come when they have problems with raid.. and other things...07:28
faryshtachenshaoju, thanks, thats for installing fglrx, I want to configure it to low power management.07:28
dr_willistroop:   theres some disable screensaver while playing videos tweaks ive seen mentioned at omgubuntu and webupd8 blog sites.. but never really used them,.07:29
faryshtaHow can I configure fglrx driver to low power management?07:29
invariantdonkeyrhubarb, capitalism has its good sides. The problems start when capitalism has selected a winner and thus all competition has no chance anymore.07:29
donkeyrhubarbdoesn't vlc have support for that.. you mention playing video07:29

ShirakawasunaHey, since the topic is raid I'll re-ask (normally wouldn't ask this quickly): I want to do RAID1 + LVM, but am getting conflicting information on whether I need to separate /boot out into its own partition that's not in the lvm group. Any thoughts / information?07:32
invariantThe above is  why Storage Spaces are a good idea.07:32
Shirakawasunaideally I want to just sync to my back up drive, verify its integrity, then wipe 4 identical disks, RAID1 on two so there's 2 sync'd disks, then LVM over the whole thing.07:32
invariantNobody wants to care about all these details.07:32
Shirakawasunathen rsync everything from the backup to the single LVM volume07:33
invariantLet some storage programmer care about it once and then let the rest use it.07:33
donkeyrhubarbfaryshta: if you're just watching movies when you go to sleep or something, most players have options to go to sleep after the video is done07:33

donkeyrhubarbare you only playing video and trying to make the system power down afterward?07:34
faryshtadonkeyrhubarb, fglrx is a graphic card driver, my question is not related to video players07:34
invariantfaryshta, I don't think you can.07:35
invariantfaryshta, it happens automatically.07:35
invariantfaryshta, a large part of the driver is involved in powermanagement.07:35

raphzthenamei was wondering if these are two different images08:11

skp1fantus: as long as you dont erase it during the install.09:13

cfhowlettfantus: most likely yes ... but backup anyway09:14
jiridoskp1, Muphrid Good. nice!09:14
fantusok thanks, another question...when i click "home" folder on desktop(gui), i see only FIle System partition...and because i created that "/home" i thought it will be showed up like in windows like (c,d,e) but instead they are both in very same partition. is that normal?09:14
ServerSagerkhshm: Sounds like a total non-ubuntu question, but you may find your answer here:  http://www.kernel.org/doc/Documentation/sysctl/kernel.txt09:15
fantusi mean, inside file system there is my home folder, with those 80gb size. thats normal or?09:15
cfhowlettfantus: normal09:15
ServerSagerkhshm: I'll save you the long read, take a look in /var/cache/abrt or /var/crash09:15
cfhowlettfantus: home does NOT contain the system folders e.g. C: in windows09:15
=== jackson_ is now known as Noskcaj
fantuscfhowlett : confused me, since i see only File System partition(e.g. C in windows ), but inside it i got that "home" folder with 80gb size.09:16
Noskcajwhy when you install two DE's do some programs appear twice, e.g. lubuntu and xubuntu give two copies of task manager09:16
fantuswhy it didnt created a new one, like a new partition?09:16
jiridoI also have an other Q. I have got pain in my hand from using the mouse and would like to use a joystick i found instead.. Is there some program or driver or way to get that ?09:17
Hanmac_fantus under linux the dirs could be on totaly different places ... like on my pc /boot is on a software raid1, then i have an lvm on a software raid5+ and on the lvm there are three logical partions for / and /home and swap09:17
cfhowlettfantus: why would it need a new partition?  /home contains all /user files... not just YOUR /home09:17
cfhowlettjirido: dont' now of such, but I like the giant trackball option ...09:18
raphzthenameinstallation finished, but after choosing this boot option on startup: http://i.imgur.com/Evm60.jpg, it attempts to boot and then i get these errors: http://i.imgur.com/ZrVQM.jpg09:19
raphzthenameany idea how i might get past this?09:19
fantusso im basically free to put folders like, movies, music inside that home folder, and during re-installation they will be safe,  as long as i pick sda1 (root one) to be reinstalled, and leave this one alone(sda6) ?\09:19
fantusit wasnt like this in 9.0409:19

KrisWoodHello everyone!09:51
KrisWoodI'm trying to install wifi on my grandma's ubuntu 10.04 laptop. The only internet access I have is through my phone acting as a wifi hotspot. When I attempt to install the driver for the wifi card (Broadcom B43 wireless driver) via the Hardware Drivers wizard it attempts to download it from the repository. That of course is impossible. How may I download the driver on my other PC so I can copy it over to the ubuntu one via USB?09:54

vitalikohello all! I just installed 12.10 64bit ubuntu (several tries, now my sdd cant be recognized). Now my question is...my mouse sensitivity is really high even with everything turned down, can someone help be lower it even more?09:56
kpserversage: i am. Ok lets add one more09:57
Hanmac_KrisWood: on the wifi pc you need the "bcmwl-kernel-source" package and its depences like dkms and linux-header-generic09:57
KrisWoodHanmac_ I just found the deb here: http://us.archive.ubuntu.com/ubuntu/pool/main/b/b43-fwcutter/09:58
KrisWoodat least that's the one it's trying to download on the laptop09:58
Hanmac_hm no the fwcutter is for different stuff ... you need the kernel/dkms package10:00
Hanmac_(as far as i understand)10:00
KrisWoodnow to hope the ubuntu laptop will see my phone as a usb disk drive hehe10:01
KrisWoodI'm sure it'll ask for those, too. I'm just trying to give it the package it's asking for10:01
Hanmac_Kriswood there should be no problem ... i stick my handy last time on my laptop, activate the Tethering option and on ubuntu an new cable device appears (without installing extra packages)10:05
KrisWoodHanmac_: good idea, I'll try that, too10:06
Hanmac_i mean my mobilephone (in germany we have the english-looking word "handy" for that)10:07

Ben64doesn't it let you have 10 already?10:25
meetwant quick opinions.. ubuntu 12.04 vs 12.10?10:25
meetwhich should i opt for10:25
Ben6412.04 is LTS, so you don't need to upgrade for 2-5 years10:26
gacdo you want new stuff, or do you want to be able to run it for 3 years with "no changes"?10:26
meetgac i like the new stuff10:26
gac12.10 then10:26
KrisWoodok good night for real, sleep well everyone!10:26
gacand then upgrade every 6 months for new things10:26
domie"no changes" meaning "stuff doesn't break ever"10:26
meetgac but does that mean i have to completely reinstall everything and lose everything old?10:26
gacsorted :)10:26
gacmeet: no, you can upgrade without reinstalling10:27
Ben64meet: you can upgrade 12.10 -> 13.04 -> 13.10 -> 14.0410:27
Ben64but stuff may break in between10:27
gacdomie: i wouldn't go that far, as things still do change (i.e. security fixes) which can cause breakage, but there's no "major" changes10:27
cfhowlettmeet: it means you get to experience bleeding edge tech and heartache every 6 months ...10:27
meetBen64 so i cannot update 12.04?10:27
gacmeet: yeah, you can10:27
Ben6412.04 goes straight to 14.0410:27
gacby default it will, but if you change a setting you can go from the LTS cycle to the normal cycle10:28
cfhowlettmeet: 12.04 is LTS.  You can choose to install ONLY LTS which means update manager will ignore 12.10, 13.04, etc.  Next LTS release is 14.04.10:28
meetoh.. but i am using 12.04 now from 11.10 and lot of problem have come up10:28
Ben64like?10:28
meetearlier it was smooth and perfect and all devices worked perfectly.. but now my mouse and graphics are a little bit buggy10:29
gaccfhowlett: wrong, you can change at any time so that you can install a regular version10:29
gacmeet: http://www.noobslab.com/2012/10/upgrade-ubuntu-1204-precise-to-ubuntu.html10:29
meeta click is not recognized often or pointer blinks etc10:29
domiegac, true, not really that far, but still, 12.10 is more unstable than 12.04, at least for me10:29
Ben64you're likely to have the same problems or more on 12.1010:29
Ben64LTS versions are considered to be more stable10:30
meetben64 but if 11.10 was working perfectly fine why did this problems crop up?10:30
cfhowlettmeet: consider your uses.  If you REALLY need latest/greatest shiny stuff, the go for 12.10.  If you would rather have a "stable" version with long term support, then LTS.10:30

Ben64dual boot is better10:32
domiewubi is just awesomesauce in my opinion10:33
cfhowlettmeet: wubi is intended for ubuntu testing, not long-term installation.10:33
meetok. just need some tips..10:33
meeti have been using wubi based installation for nearly an year now.. i have a separate drive for that even if its not needed..10:34
meeti have setup my ubuntu perfectly as i want.. but still since has it been quite buggy.. i intend to do a complete new install of 12.10.. so what steps should i take to prevent any boot related problems10:35
cfhowlettmeet: perform an md5sum check of your downloaded iso, have your windows install disk closeby in case you need to restore your mbr, backup everything important, don't drink and compute ...10:36
usr13meet: Just tell it to write grub to MBR, (master boot record of the hard drive).10:37
meetcfhowlett i put the iso on a usb using unetbootin and it worked well.. so is it good?10:37
meetusr13 did not get it?10:37

TomyLaptopis that normal? are there any workarounds?10:39
cfhowlettmeet: see, NOW things get interesting.  easybcd is a windows program that "should" allow you to do this but ... YMMV10:39
domiemeet, if you are still doing a wubi installation, then just backup the current folder where you have it installed, uninstall it, and install the new one10:39
meetusr13 like all the previous linux kernel versions or something.. and then a win7 option10:39
usr13meet: Uninstall previous linux kernels and those options will go away.10:39
meetusr13 : how to do that? :-|10:40
usr13meet: But what do you care, you will normally only use one option anyway.10:40
meeti don't want any clutter10:40
usr13meet: So uninstall any kernels that you do not use, leave only one.10:40
meetcfhowlett: easybcd ... should i just load the mbr for win7?10:41
cfhowlettmeet: errr, you MIGHT wish to keep one extra kernel.  New kernels have been known to break things10:41
hangingclownsis there a way to allow all localhost connections with ufw?10:42

lucianhello. i'm trying to start mongod through service and it fails to do so. it says "started" and gives me a pid, but it's a new one every time. stopping it fails with "unknown instance" and there is no process running. this happens with both the ubuntu and 10gen repos, on 12.1011:36

memandLeft_Turn: If you are talking to me: No nothing, just the ubuntu background (it does not even load my personal background) I can't even launch a terminal13:24

wormMonkeyDust: So do I need to re-install the whole Ubuntu to a new partition?13:25
MonkeyDustworm  yes, that's my advice13:26
r4yis smartctl for monitoring?13:27

r4ySo does sudo touch /forcefsck only check the filesytem, as in not what's stored in the home folder but just the filesystem?13:36

Fieldysure. I've been using linux for at least 15 years (I quit counting), i just was not sure precisely where in this distro14:35
devnull_cong ... unmount it and remount it and see if it helps14:35

DJonesCong: I'm a few minutes away from finishing a fresh lubuntu install, I'll try it when I finish, I thought the printscreen key would take a screenshot14:47
bouliI wanted to find out more about  Ubuntu from those that use it14:47
designbybeckGreetings all, I'm trying to install Ubuntu on a Power Mac. It has 4 2TB drives. Do I do anything special to install Ubuntu? I have put rFEIt on there and I was able to boot off a disk and into Ubuntu. Just didn't know if it was safe to at a Ubuntu Partition or not?14:47
designbybeckbouli: ask away14:48
bouliWell, i have been a Windows user for years now.  But i have always been interested in trying Ubuntu, or Linux in General.  But my concern is, i like gaming lol :P14:48
bouliNow i have heard of wine14:49
bouliand stuff, but i am worried about drivers and such14:49
Pbwizkidsteam on linux14:49
designbybeckMost, for now just dual boot bouli14:49
devnull_bouli ... what games ? i just installed steam14:49
designbybeckyou can also try plays on linux bouli14:49
bouliGames like League of Legends :D14:49
bouliplays?14:49
bouliDual booting sounds interesting. never considered that :/14:49
designbybeckyes also what Pbwizkid said... Steam now runs native on Ubuntu with more games coming14:49
devnull_bouli .. you can check to see if there is a linux version ... if not check the winehq to see if it is supported14:49
Pbwizkidplay on linux is basically wine but more aimed and gameing14:49
designbybeckAnd did everyone see the new Steam box just annouced it runs Linux14:50
designbybeckas well as the New LEGO Mindstorm14:50
bouliAhh, cool!14:50
designbybeckok where was it14:50
designbybecki14:50
DJonesCong: That surprised me, it doesn't take a screenshot by default14:50
bouliWell, it doesn't seem like Linux is far away from gaming that everyone made me beleive lo14:50
designbybeckyes14:50
phill_I have a confusing Ubuntu issue...14:50
bouliGuess i have to try out Ubuntu! :D14:50
CongDJones, me, not surprised.14:50
DJonesHeh14:50
Pbwizkidgameing has always been on linux just takes al ittle more work14:50
devnull_bouli ... no it is a lot better now than before ... like a lot better14:51
designbybeckbouli: best is to not listen to people that say "can't" and instead just go make it happen! ;)14:51
Pbwizkidall id software games have a had a linux installer14:51

designbybeckAnyone know about my PowerMac question?14:52
phill_bazhang: thast's not the problem14:52
Congshould I get shutter? I donno it looks super heavyweight.14:52
phill_I can't use sudo because it means I AM LOGGED IN14:52
devnull_phill why are you trying to change your userid ?14:52
designbybeckCong:  Shutter is great, but I haven't tried it on lower end machines14:52
Third3yeHas anybody noticed any issues relating to "rar" and "nautilus"?14:52
devnull_you could always boot into a root console i suppose14:52
MonkeyDustCong  shutter isn't light, but you can edit screenshots with it14:52
devnull_Third3ye, not lately14:52
phill_devnull_: because I'm using the same account across NFS and want to match up the permissions correctly14:52
designbybeckHey MonkeyDust did you see my post about installing Ubuntu on a Power Mac with  4 2TB harddrives?14:53
devnull_phill_, im sure bazhang  will have to correct way to do it ... but i think you can boot into a root terminal and do it14:53
Third3yeI left it overnight to archive a collection of folders filled with media -- when I woke up it was consuming large amount of CPU and ram, which left Unity inoperable, forcing me to reboot via terminal14:53
MonkeyDustdesignbybeck  i'm not familiar with Mac, sorry14:53
designbybeckIt has rEFIt on there and can boot a ubuntu disk.... just didn't know if it was safe to do a refit partition14:53
designbybeckah ok, no prob, thanks14:53
bazhangsudo -i for a root shell devnull_14:53
DJonesCong: Actually, just checking, the printscreen key does take a screenshot and saves in /home it just doesn't give me any indication that it has done it without looking in the /home folder14:54
Third3yeIs there a log for nautilus?14:54
CongDJones, bingo!14:54
devnull_bazhang, doesn't that still keep your user active14:55
Third3yeI did an integrity check of the archived file now (a rar file) and everything seems to be in order14:55
bazhangdevnull_, I've not been paying attention to his issue, my apologies14:55
Third3yeSo it finished and continued to use a lot of CPU and ram14:55
devnull_no prob ... he can't change the user ID because his user is logged in / active14:56
CongAnd I was about to get gnome-screenshot.14:56

devnull_alright .. booted right into 3.7.1 with no problem :)15:00
llutzphill_: enable root account, login as root, do your changes, lock root again15:00
jhutchins_wkphill_: By default you can't do that on ubuntu.15:01
ikoniaphill_: why would you do that ?15:01
just_trying_outbazhang: not that......simple apt-get update being offline......like this https://help.ubuntu.com/community/AptGet/Offline/Repository15:01
ikoniaphill_: you can just use sudo inline with the ubuntu security framework15:01
just_trying_outRobbilie: ^^15:01
Congllutz do sudo -s # then type in your passwd15:01
devnull_lets try tf2 now15:01
Congwrong person15:02
llutzCong: read what he tries to do and then answer again15:02
phill_ikonia: because i need to run usermod on the only non root account on the box. usermod CANNOT WORK IF YOU USE IT VIA SUDO AND ARE CHANGING YOUR ACCOUNT15:03
phill_why do people keep asking?15:03
bazhangphill_, lose caps15:03
llutzphill_: btw it is a bad idea to mess with the only account on the system. if something breaks, you won't have any user to login. so temporary activating the root-account is imho an idea15:03
devnull_phill .... reboot and go to grub menu and see if there is an option to drop to boot to root console maybe15:03
phill_llutz: thanks15:04
Congdid anyone look at my pic? http://i48.tinypic.com/2guy7he.png15:04
llutzphill_: or if you prefer, create a 2nd account, add him to sudo-group and use that to do your changes15:04
jhutchins_wkphill_: What are you trying to change about your account?15:04
Third3yeOh and can anyone suggest an alternative process manager that doesn't lock up?15:04
phill_jhutchins_wk: uid, so I can align file permissions on nfs with another account on the network15:05
devnull_phill ... or you can change it all manually15:05
Third3yePreferably one with analytical data and several aspects around a process, like files in ram?15:05
phill_it's fine, i've enabled the root account..15:05
phill_off I go..15:05

daincredibleholgLinSeven, this has nothing to do with M$. You can only have 4 primary partitions. If you want more, you need one extended partitions and put as many logical partitions in it, as you want.16:09

magik_LinSven, I would suggest the USB install make sure you do a full install.  If your going to do a dual boot is a good idea to make your partitions with windows before you install16:14

shipwashone, is PenDriveLinux + an iso the right way to do it?16:32
dr_willisi use tools from the pendrive site. they have several16:33
shipwashI'm using this one: http://www.pendrivelinux.com/universal-usb-installer-easy-as-1-2-3/16:33
shipwashseems pretty straightforward, I just wanted to check16:33
KaRmAlinux-image-3.5.0-21-generic is that newest 64 bit kernel ?16:34
shipwashokay, so if I use that pendrive tool, will the Home directory be persistent?16:36
designbybeckI got  Ubuntu installed on the MacPro, and it saw the wifi and i installed first round of updates no prob. But after reboot, now I can't connect to wifi or anything.16:38

joint2khello. i dont have uefi, or secure boot. I did a clean install of windows 8 - and now when i boot up ubuntu 11.10, 12.04, or 12.10 - the installer doesnt see any partitions at all. it just comes up blank. gparted sees them fine. anybody know anything about this. its a lot of info on google about it, but no straight answers.  why is windows 8 trying to hijack my hd?16:42
joint2ki even did a kill disk on my hd... and ubuntu still wont detect it16:42
designbybeckThank you _Rocky_16:42
_Rocky_blami: Thank you. But, the same font works on gnome-terminal running on Debian Squeeze16:43
_Rocky_blami: any ideas?16:43
joint2kand i know it works.. because before i ever put windows 8 on there. i used to dual boot win 7 and ubuntu16:43
joint2kafter the kill disk.. it seems the only option i have left is to wait for fedora 18, which allegidly has this new bootloader signed with microsoft keys16:46
designbybeck_Rocky_: my first question might not let me do your answer16:46
joint2kor buy a new hd16:46
designbybeckdo you have to be online?16:46

rasp_piehi there! What's the problem when I cannot delete a folder (sudo rmdir srv)? It really looks strange, when I do a ls -lah, the folder shows up as "d????????? ? ?    ?       ?            ? srv"16:49
_Rocky_KaRmA: do you want to build a kernel or do you already have several kernels installed and you want to boot into oneby default?16:50
designbybeckwell then back to my first question _Rocky_ New clean install on MacPro, Wifi worked when i installed, and did first updates just fine on wifi, but after reoobt I don't see wifi anymore, no networking16:50
rasp_pieError message is "rmdir: failed to remove `srv': Device or resource busy"16:50
KaRmA_Rocky_, second option16:50
dr_willisrasp_pie:  ?? in names and stuff shows fs curruption.16:50
_Rocky_you would have to change grub config16:50
rasp_piedr_willis: oh, that does not sound good. What chances do I have to fix it?16:51
KaRmA_Rocky_, so just change the line in /boot/grub/grub.cfg16:51
dr_willisrasp_pie: fsck from a live cd and see.16:52
rasp_pieyeah well, it's a productive server, running on xen... any other options that do not include reboot?16:52
dr_willisnever used xen. so no idea16:53
KaRmA_Rocky_, k rebooting wish me luck16:53
dr_willisyou  dont fsck a mounted fs nirmally16:53
_Rocky_KaRmA: Don't change grub.cfg. Since it will change back when you ubdate-grub16:53
rasp_pieok. but do you have any idea how to check a mounted file system?16:54
KaRmA_Rocky_, I already did update-grub and it appeared to use the kernel I specified16:54
rasp_pielike what fsck would do16:54
_Rocky_KaRmA: set GRUB_DEFAULT=<index> to set the default boot in /etc/default/grub16:54
KaRmA_Rocky_, ok you were right it used the old kernel, what gives ?16:54
dr_willisrasp_pie:  if its mounted read only it might work16:54
KaRmA_Rocky_, ahh ok thanks16:55
rasp_piedr_willis: nope, it's the root file system16:55
rasp_pieso it has to be rw16:55

MonkeyDustalnhavir  unlock, then switch Automatic Login on/off, which you like17:12
robertzaccouralnhavir: just search for login and it should come up17:12
robertzaccourclick it, then select automatic login on17:12
chiluk AndChat330644 really there's not much Ubuntu related that we can advise on related to your random switch17:12
chilukAndChat330644, usually they have either a web interface a telnet interface, or an ssh interface or some combination of the above.17:12
chilukAndChat330644, you can always try nmap to try to discover what IPs are on your network ... or check your dhcp server logs to see if the switch grabbed an IP17:13

MonkeyDustalnhavir  makes sense: te decrypt/access the disk, you need a password17:19

=== MartinS is now known as Guest51217
alnhavirMonkeyDust: but then again, it's the only thing I've changed.17:20
MonkeyDustalnhavir  guess the decryption password is stored somewhere, a keyring or so, and you need a password to access that keyring17:21
alnhavirMonkeyDust: Hm.. This set-up (full disk encryption and automatic login) is an option on the install disk, which makes me think it should be possible to change this. I guess I'll just have to reinstall with that enabled.17:24

monk12im at the screen at the instlal where i'll prob change the old hard drive so the /boot partition instead of 'ext4' becomes 'efi boot' partition... and then 'Device for Boot Loader installation:' would be set to that same 'efi boot' partition too?17:29

Third3yeAn activity/process manager... anybody got a good one to suggest?17:33
VictorCLsudo echo /opt/oracle/instantclient > /etc/ld.so.conf.d/oracle-instantclient17:33
PiciVictorCL: sudo does not pass IO redirection operators. You're looking for echo /opt/oracle/instantclient | sudo tee /etc/ld.so.conf.d/oracle-instantclient17:34
llutzVictorCL: echo /opt/oracle/instantclient |sudo tee -a  /etc/ld.so.conf.d/oracle-instantclient17:34
dr_willisbecause the echo has sudo rights. not the > redirection. You need to use somthing like the 'sudo tee' command17:34
PiciVictorCL: use -a if you want the equivalent of >>17:34

Soelenhey ho, I have a problem! I couldnt write on my harddisk anymore, so I tired to restart, hanging on boot screen, got an "ubuntu swapper not tainted" error, on grub I changed to an old kernel and now it booted like it should have17:53
SoelenI never got this before, what is going on? Is my ugh, standard kernel broken?17:54
Third3yeSoelen, google dat sh*t17:55
Soelenbut I did, I dont get a straight answer17:56
MonkeyDust!google | Third3ye17:56
ubottuThird3ye: While Google is useful for helpers, many newer users don't have the google-fu yet. Please don't tell people to "google it" when they ask a question.17:56
Third3yegoogle-fu? copy-paste errors?17:57
Third3yeYeah alright... one sec :P17:57
user82hi. i have the problem that with hdmi i get no real black color on my screen (might be the typical 16-235 black value issue?). can i change that somehow?17:57
Third3yeSoelen, try uploading the syslog (/var/log/syslog.X) to pastebin -- the X stands for the number of times since you booted since then, starting from 0. Say you've booted three times, it's syslog.218:00
Soelenalright18:00
llutzThird3ye: the X stands for the number the logfile has been rotated by logrotate, which isn't necessarily every reboot18:01
Third3yeMy bad -- I just assumed ^18:02
Third3yepinkpelican, just use dd to write the iso. Like this -> sudo dd if=windows7.iso of=/dev/sdX18:02
Soelenso what exactly do I need to pastebin, sylog or syslog.1?18:02
SoelenThird3ye:18:02
Third3yeSoelen, after reading a bit it depends... was the computer on for a _really_ long time? Apparently it rotates based on file size and when it's run... can anyone shed some light to this? I'm fairly new to logrotate18:05
Third3yeSoelen, you can do this cat syslog.0 |grep "ubuntu swapper not tainted" -- or exactly what the error was18:06
xibalbais there a way to re-nice a bunch of processes en-mass? i have 5 sshd proccesses id like to renice to 2018:07
SoelenThird3ye: not in syslog nor syslog.1 is tainted appearing18:07
Third3yeSoelen, how about dmesg?18:08
Third3yethough I think dmesg is omitted to the syslog..18:08
Third3yeSoelen, or kern.log18:08
pinkpelicanThird3ye I'm running from Windows 7 right now. I want to make a live usb of ubuntu (as small as possible) and then use the usb to overwrite a hard disk on another computer.

pinkpelicanWhich Ubuntu version is the smallest that allows for running live without installing, from either CD or USB?18:14
MonkeyDust!mini | pinkpelican18:15
ubottupinkpelican: The Minimal CD image is very small in size, and it downloads most packages from the Internet during installation, allowing you to select only those you want (the installer is like the one on the !Alternate CD). See https://help.ubuntu.com/community/Installation/MinimalCD18:15

nOStahlhey guys, my ethernet and wifi are eth2 and eth3   what happened during this fresh install that would cause that?18:24
nOStahlit also is not letting wifi connect, just times out and asks for password again but the password is correct.18:24
nOStahldmesg talks about it not finding the password18:24
nOStahlthinkpad r51 laptop is what I'm setting up on18:24
tangobravonOStahl, i am not sure what the issue is... they are suppose to be eth 2 and 318:24
nibblerhi. if i run bcache with dm-crypt, which layer should be lower?18:24
tangobravowas it labeled something different before?18:25
nOStahlshould be eth0 and wlan018:25
tangobravooh yea u are right18:25
tangobravomy fault18:25
nOStahlon every other install i've done18:25
tangobravoi have a server with multiple nics18:25
tangobravoyou can change it in the udev rules file18:25
nOStahlis there a way I can uninstall the adapter and reinstall it18:26
tompa_monkeydust http://paste.ubuntu.com/1510180/18:26
tangobravo /etc/udev/rules.d/70-persistent-net.rules is where you would change it...18:26
tangobravoin terms of uninstalling and reinstalling i dont think that'd make a difference18:26
tangobravois this a new install nOStahl ?18:27
nOStahlya18:27
tompa_monkeydust in row 1 and 16 you can see im trying to install everpad and get errors from myunity...18:27
tangobravolook in the udev rules do u see wlan0 in there anywhere?18:27
MonkeyDusttompa_  i can just repeat what i just said: with ppas, you're on your own, use it at your own risk - and myUnity is no longer maintained, ie, no longer exists18:27
nOStahlthe laptop had a bios password so I couldn't select boot device, so I installed ubuntu on another thinkpad r51 and then swapped the hd back into it18:27
tangobravooh18:27
tangobravowell that could be an issue18:27
tangobravowhat kind of laptop is it?18:28
tangobravothe one with a bios password18:28
nOStahlthinkpad r5118:28
tompa_monkeydust uhm i barley know what ppa is so if i have by misstake changed something how do i get back to default?18:28
DX099nOStahl, since you could change the HDD ? couldn't you go as far as resetting BIOS ?18:28
nOStahlI don't feel like making the serial adapter and soldering to the mono to reset it hehe18:28
nOStahlmobo18:28
tangobravoDX099 no... the bios password isnt related to the hard drive18:28
MonkeyDusttompa_  better contact the maintainer(s) of the ppas, they should know what to do18:29
tangobravoit's part of the mobo18:29
nOStahlk in that udev rules.d I see 4 adapters18:29
nOStahlthe first two were prob from the original machine installation18:29
tangobravowhich are?18:29
tompa_monkey hmm :/ okey thank you for answering!18:29
nOStahleth0 is the ethernet and eth1 uses the ipw2200 driver.18:29
tangobravodo u know if the MAC addresses for the one in your current machine are?18:29
DX099tangobravo, no but as he/she got physic access so machine and could go as far as swapping HDDs, why no got the easiest way (IMO) and hard-reset the BIOS ?18:30
nOStahlif I delete this udev rules file will it recreate it upon bootup18:30
tangobravoi dunno18:30
nOStahlI think it does18:31
tangobravoDX099 resetting a bios password is not easy18:31
tangobravoat least not on a laptop18:31
nOStahlfor these think pads you have to order a chip if I remember right18:31
nOStahland do some soldering18:31
tangobravoif you dont know the original you gotta solder an rs232 connector and connect a chip to a couple pin outs on the board18:31
DX099isn't it just some battery to remove somewhere ?18:32
tangobravoit's an ATMEL EEPROM chip18:32
tangobravono DX09918:32
DX099ok18:32
tangobravothose days have been long gone18:32
ActionParsnipTangobravo: replace the bios battery with mains power disconnected will do it if you leave it out a good while18:32
tangobravothere is an actual ROM on the board small amount of storage (kinda like a flash memory if you will) that is encrypted that stores that info18:32
tangobravonot sure ActionParsnip if that'd do it on the thinkpads18:33
nOStahlthere is a chip on these mobo's that holds the data18:33
nOStahlits not able to be done with any power tricks :)18:33
tangobravoyea even my dell laptop cant be done that way18:33
tangobravosomeone invented some tool i heard but i never used it18:34
DX099ActionParsnip, isn't there also some : remove the battery, plug out the laptop, push the power button for X seconds" another trick to reset BIOS settings ?18:34
tangobravoit's software based18:34
ActionParsnipTangobravo: worth a shot.  Quick and dirty18:34
ActionParsnipDx099: I'd try it18:34
tangobravoActionParsnip, i remember a power on and off trick would work with a boot password18:35
ActionParsnipDx099 : leave it out a good half hour18:35
tangobravoi dunno if it'll work tho for the supervisor password (which is what you need to do for the boot order)18:35
tangobravothe supervisor password is different than a boot password18:35
tangobravothis is how'd you do it for the boot password though    http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=3HRjUK1IB8418:36
ActionParsnipNot 100% here either.  Worth a punt18:36
tangobravohis best bet would be to find the backdoor password for his system18:36
nOStahlk removed that udev rule and rebooted18:37
tangobravonot all machines have one tho18:37
ActionParsnipCould research it while the power drains18:37
tangobravonOStahl, did you back it up?18:37
nOStahland it re-created it properly with the right names and such for this device18:37
nOStahlyes18:37
tangobravogood lol18:37
tangobravooh that's good18:37
nOStahldidn't need too though, i've deleted that file on a virtual machine before to fix an issue it had18:37
nOStahlheh18:37
tangobravodidnt know if it'd recreate it or not18:37

Bartsonevery key is working19:10
demonioIs a logitech DX09919:10
Bartsonbut when i type in terminal groups --help it scrolls to the end19:10
DX099yes19:10
Bartsonis it possible to break it into parts?19:10
demonioNO19:11
Bartsonso that i can see the whole help file19:11
DX099Bartson, it is intended to do so. You want to `groups --help | less`19:11
DX099pipe the output of the command to the less program19:12
PiciBartson: Or use the manpage, as it typically has more in-depth information19:12
Pici!man19:13
ubottuThe "man" command brings up the Linux manual pages for the command you're interested in. Try "man intro" at the  command line, or see https://help.ubuntu.com/community/UsingTheTerminal | Manpages online: http://manpages.ubuntu.com/19:13
Bartsonok, because i`m really new i`m using the --help a lot :D19:13
DX099also, Shitf+PgUP/PgDown allows you to scroll into a terminal with no mouse, though what you'll be able to recover depends on the terminal's buffer size.19:13

jribkslater: why do you ask?19:44
toxboikslater: afaik, it's upstart19:44

xutwoohif your smart or know alot of computers, arch linux gentoo are for high levelers19:45
pinkpelicanMy comp sci lv is zilch.19:45
kslaterbecause I have an internal drive with 2 partitions that show up as USB devices. I need them to be put back in the right place on boot.19:45
jribkslater: what does it mean to "show up as USB devices"?19:45
kslaterActually, scratch that. They aren't / don't show up as USB devices19:45
jriband what is "the right place on boot"?19:45
kslaterthat's my backup drive19:45
kslaterthe right place is one of them mounts at /media/extra and the other at /media/extra/source19:46
toxboikslater: you need to make a fstab entry19:46
kslaterbut they are internal partitions of my main drive. fstab is the right place.19:46
jribkslater: if you want them to mount automatically at boot, you should create an fstab entry as toxboi points out (see ubottu)19:46
kslaterbut what about the 2T external drive?19:46
jrib!fstab | kslater19:46
ubottukslater: 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 !Partitions19:46

jaybuttsLAN works on my wifi adapter, I am using dhcp and internet works on other devices using those settings however internet doesn't work over my wifi adapter only lan while internet works fine over eth0 wired connection, anyone have an idea?19:48
jribkslater: ok, you can use fstab for that too if you want it to be automatically mounted when you boot.  But you should add a parameter for boot to not fail if it fails to mount (because it isn't plugged in for example).  Alternatively, just give it the label "seagate2t" and it will get mounted to /media/seagate2t by nautilus when you click on it in nautilus19:48
gsanti just bought a sony vaio that cames with Win 8 preloaded ..and the Bios was replaced by UEFI;19:49
xutwoohkslater: if your putting a linux operating system on a usb flashdrive look up the program UNETBOOTIN that should help if thats what your asking19:49
atlef!uefi | gsant19:49
ubottugsant: UEFI is a specification that defines a software interface between an operating system and platform firmware, it is meant as a replacement for the BIOS. For information on how to set up and install Ubuntu and its derivatives on UEFI machines please read https://help.ubuntu.com/community/UEFI19:49
kslaternot a USB flashdrive. 2T USB flashdrive? That would be interesting I guess.19:50
toxboikslater: in your case, a UUID would be a nice option. Using device name /dev/sdxx is not a good idea as it may change in presence of a extra device. Eg. a USD disk.19:50
kslaterthis is just external space19:50
kslatertoxboi: I was justs noticing that from fstab19:50
jribuuid should be used anyway, /dev/sdX isn't guaranteed to stay the same19:51

chazwordI have a 10.04 system with 45 drives arranged in 5 RAIDs.  Often, the RAIDs (via mdadm) will try to initalize before all the drives have initialized.  Obviously this causes the RAIDs to fail.  Is there a way to force assembling RAIDs to be the absolutely last thing that the system does?  update-rc.d to 99 still has RAID assembly coming before framebuffer initialization.22:39

xangua!nounity | anli_22:44
ubottuanli_: 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 !classic22:44
melkorthalib: it is pretty easy to  d/load the iso and burn it to a bootable cd.22:45
k1lanli_: since unity is based on gnome3 and ubuntu ships the gnome-shell in their repos there is always a choice for gnome-shell22:45
anli_wow, the lag when I write something in my vbox installed ubuntu is terrible22:45

anli_Maybe I need to activate some graphics card acceleration?22:46
k1lanli_: on a vserver?22:47
chazwordSo, basically the question is how do I force an init script to be the ABSOLUTELY LAST thing that is run on boot.  updated-rc.d to 99 still has things coming after it.22:47
anli_k1l: virtualbox22:47
=== Vobine is now known as Psychoholic
ActionParsnipanli_: install xfce4 package in the virtual OS, log off and log in to the XFCE session, it'll be faster22:47
k1lanli_: the whole big dsktops dont run quick as a native install in the vbox.22:47
k1lanli_: but make sure to have the guest addidions installed22:48
jhutchins_wkchazword: rc.local should be the last thing init runs.22:48
jhutchins_wkchazword: Then again, it's not init any more.22:48
anli_Will the use of xfce4 something package intrude on my possibilities to use gnome-session?22:48
jhutchins_wkchazword: Why does it need to be last?22:48
=== chiluk is now known as chiluk_away
=== dankest|away is now known as dankest
chazwordjhutchins_wk: It's 45 SATA drives initializing.  If it doesn't come last, then it tries to initialize the RAIDS before the drives are ready.22:49
chazwordso /etc/init.d/mdadm-raid needs to be the last thing to run.  With it as 99, it boots mostly correctly one out of 50 times.  With mdadm-raid turned off and then manually started, it works fine everytime.22:49
jhutchins_wkchazword: So you have to make it dependent on the previous step.22:50
k1lanli_: xfce is another Desktop22:50
ActionParsnipanli_: you can simply select the session you want at login22:50
jhutchins_wkchazword: Possibly with a wait if you know the interval.22:50
chazwordjhutchins_wk: I believe it is, but putting it into rc.local might be the way to go.22:50
ActionParsnipanli_: I alway s suggest XFCE or LXDE for virtualized OSes, they use fewer resources so are more responsive22:51
anli_xcfe is an alternative to gnome-session, I take it22:51
chazwordThere is no specific interval.  It's 5 RAID6s with 9 drives each.  Sometimes it comes up with 5 drives in each RAID, sometimes with 7, sometimes with just 5 drives in 1 RAID, and sometimes with 9 drives in all the RAIDs except for md0 which has 7.  If I manually start mdadm-raid after boot, everything is perfect22:51
jhutchins_wkanli_: A little deeper than that, but essentially.22:51
ActionParsnipanli_: its a desktop environment, it wil run instead of Gnome22:51

anli_gnome-sessions with all extras turned off is also ok, I think22:53
chazwordjhutchins_wk: Yeah, I'm putting it in rc.local with a wait 30 before it, I think that should do it, but I can always adjust the wait.22:53
k1lanli_: gnome-shell is still a 3d desktop that will use alot of power, though22:54
chazwordjhutchins_wk: Thanks for your help.  I've done all the other UNIXs and Linuxs, but Ubuntu is the newer one for me.  The init setup in 10.04 seemed to be a few different systems working together rather than anything fully cohesive, so it was a bit odd.22:54
anli_well, true22:54
chazwordThen again, this whole systme is a bit odd.  I recommend against backblaze hardware setups.22:54
bampersandHey guys. I'm wanting to map CAPS to CTRL-BACKSPACE any idea how I could do this? I googled mapping but most posts are asking for key->key not a sequence22:54
anli_I will now try to enable the 3d acc and 2d acc in vbox22:55
anli_Maybe thats not a terribly bad idea22:55
jhutchins_wkchazword: upstart, which replaces init, attepmts to make startup faster by running many of the steps in parallel instead of sequentially.  To do this, it has to have better information about what each scripts depends on.22:56

jonjoI use gentoo with gnome3, most people in gentoo hate gnome3, I like it23:38
riderplusI don't want that23:38
WanderingEnderSomeone asks you why you're using ubuntu, especially ubuntu server, give them a concrete reason. If they ignore it, kill them.23:38
ztguActionParsnip: If you see the post at the bottom, the long one by defensorfedei, That's what he does to fix suspend to ram problem I have. but When i do it my linux won't boot so I need to fix it in recovery mode. Idea?23:38

ActionParsnipriderplus: just use what you want and don't listen to anyone else...I did that a long time ago and everyone laughed, asking why I wasn't installing the new Windows XP23:39
riderplusbut ok haven't tried gentoo ;)23:39
jonjoriderplus: it has its purpose depends what you do23:40

jonjoor just ignore them and leave the room?23:42
riderplusffs, it's #linux...23:42
WanderingEnderwhy leave the room when you can use ignore.23:42
WanderingEnderOr make them shut the heck up due to their stupidity in a grand and spectaular way.23:42
jribfeel free to discuss people's attitudes towards distro choices in #ubuntu-offtopic.  Keep in mind #ubuntu is for support questions only23:43
jonjowhat do you need #linux for? most distros provide all the support you need. using ubuntu I am sure the support in this room is all you need23:43
ActionParsnipjonjo: its distro ambiguous23:43
riderplus#linux is against ubuntu...every time I ask a question and say I'm using ubuntu they come with that freaking l33t attitude. but let's stop this, ok?23:43
ActionParsnipjonjo: also good for kernel issues23:44
jonjomeh23:44
dr_williscant say ive ever been in #linux in the years ive been on this server.23:44
jonjoI never have23:44
jribI really don't want to kick people because of this.23:44
ActionParsnipriderplus: well you won't see anyone in here doing that as we all use and support ubuntu (for the most part)23:44
riderplusthen I won't EVER join that freaking channel23:44
makutoI've been making a graphical editor that uses the console for input (with C++, SFML). When I execute the program by clicking the executable no console window comes up. How can I force it to open a console window? (Point me to the right IRC if this isn't the place)23:44
ActionParsnipriderplus: so asking US to stop it is pretty pointless....it's not us.23:45
jonjomakuto: just type the application in the terminal23:45
ActionParsnipmakuto: are you running it via a .desktop file?23:45
makutoActionParsnip: No23:45
dr_willismakuto:   You could always have the .desktop file launch a shell/terminal that runs the app.23:45
dr_willisor a scrit that does it.23:46
makutojonjo: I know, but it isn't very convenient23:46
dr_willisie:   xterm -e  commandname23:46
brightsparkmakuto, I'm not sure if this is still the case, but you used to be able to right-click and hit "Run in Terminal"23:46
riderplusI'm going to grab some beers and enjoy ubuntu...I bet those guys don't even know where "ubuntu" comes from...nighty night23:46
ActionParsnipmakuto: If you right click the file, is there an option to run in terminal?23:46
sponglecan i just ask, is this the best channel to even be asking for help in compiling a video driver?23:46
makutodr_willis: I don't know how to make .desktop files, but I will learn! That should fix my problem23:47
jonjoActionParsnip: should I be able to see the files transfered on my nexus while still connected?23:47
makutoAnd no, no option to run in term23:47

teslas_moustacheI'm trying to restore backups on a fresh 12.04 install and Deja Dup isn't doing it. It just asks for a password, encryption passphrase, password again, and says it was successful within about 30 seconds. So I'm trying to use Duplicity in CLI, but I'm having trouble with that as well.23:52
jonjohow did I guess :P23:52
Savage_CLwhat's the force close hotkey?23:53
teslas_moustacheI enter "duplicity --gio file:///media/LaCie /tmp/restore" and it returns "/home/chris/.cache/duplicity/a9f25ded84e82d510fd93976ed2e96ce' does not exist, or is not a directory"23:54
spongleok, am getting somewhere with this, but i am stuck right now locating package similar to xorg-macros - what's the ubuntu package name for this?23:54
teslas_moustachesorry. full output is "Specified archive directory '/home/chris/.cache/duplicity/a9f25ded84e82d510fd93976ed2e96ce' does not exist, or is not a directory"23:55
ActionParsnipteslas_moustache: does the folder (or file) exist?23:58
teslas_moustacheNo. and I suppose I can create a directory with that name but....well I guess there's only one way to find out.23:59
