| histo | gmachine_24: Grub doesn't remain if you install windows. It installs it's bootloader to the mbr | 00:00 |
| gmachine_24 | histo, not in my experience. | 00:00 |

| Frozenthia | Is Kubuntu a forbidden topic? I need help. : S | 00:00 |
| histo | gmachine_24: sure in windows fdisk /mbr would write it's bootloader. Or whatever they are using now. fixmbr I think | 00:00 |

| ESphynx | well compiz was OK until Unity came along :P | 00:07 |
| SalMi | I think unity is a gr8 interface :P | 00:08 |
| w0rm-_x | ESphynx, I don't know if the existence of both would create a conflict, only started to have problems when setting Compiz up.. | 00:08 |
| ESphynx | w0rm-_x: hmm compiz normally comes with ubuntu/unity does it not? | 00:09 |
| w0rm-_x | ESphynx, no | 00:09 |

| ESphynx | I get this same red backgrond as with unity :S with no dock or anything | 00:15 |
| ESphynx | still looks like compilz/unity is running :| | 00:16 |
| w0rm-_x | histo, I don't want something different, just something that is better and has less problems. | 00:16 |

| histo | w0rm-_x: What sort of problems are you having? | 00:16 |
| blbrown_win3 | With ubuntu12.10 when the top window bar is hidden from view, how can I move the window (say with gimp) | 00:16 |
| Seven_Six_Two | ESphynx, can you open a terminal and type metacity --replace & | 00:16 |
| gmachine_24 | sam555, http://www.ehow.com/how_5938222_change-password-ubuntu.html | 00:16 |
| histo | sam555: Change who's passwd? | 00:16 |
| histo | sam555: you could passwd sam555 in a terminal if sam555 is your username | 00:17 |
| histo | sam555: if you are logged in as that user just passwd | 00:17 |
| sam555 | histo: I'm changing another admin within the OS. | 00:17 |
| blbrown_win3 | nevermind I went to single window mode | 00:17 |
| _lucas_br_ | histo: Ok | 00:17 |
| histo | sam555: sudo passwd otherusername | 00:17 |
| sam555 | histo: i used that command, however, it would not let me change it because it was too similar, but I need to make it this particular password. | 00:17 |
| ESphynx | Seven_Six_Two I couldnt open anything, but in the console I could start xfce... | 00:17 |
| histo | sam555: can you please pastebin the error you are receiving | 00:18 |
| w0rm-_x | histo, I keep getting messages stating that there was a problem with the system and keep reporting them without a respond, also Ubuntu gets stuck when shutting it down while the other OSs does not | 00:18 |
| ESphynx | Where can I configure to run an xfce session instead? | 00:18 |
| sam555 | it worked histo!!! | 00:18 |
| barrett | gmachine_24, sorry, i'm frustrated because usually its packed in here and my raid array... is not assembling, and i'm panicking and nobody seems to have any advice | 00:18 |
| histo | sam555: I don't know where you were thinking it was too similiar that should not be an issue | 00:18 |
| sam555 | histo: thanks much. It was the sudo passwd otherusername that worked | 00:19 |
| sam555 | histo: when I did just passwd, it would give me that error | 00:19 |
| sam555 | thanks for the save | 00:19 |
| histo | sam555: What error? I've never seen that. | 00:19 |
| ESphynx | well metacity looks like a nice WM | 00:19 |
| sam555 | histo: it was saying "password too similar" | 00:19 |
| sam555 | something like that | 00:19 |
| histo | sam555: ahh yeah it does | 00:20 |
| usr13 | ESphynx: There is startxfce4 lightdm etc. Depends on how you want to start it. | 00:20 |
| ESphynx | (Yay I got performance back!) | 00:20 |
| usr13 | ESphynx: From the console, startxfce4 | 00:20 |
| ESphynx | the desktop is in a poor state, but once I'm in and metacity and xfce4-session is started everything is good | 00:21 |
| ESphynx | I was going nuts over the sluggish interface earlier | 00:21 |

| shufflebot | I have a noob-ish ubuntu permissions problem. https://gist.github.com/9b9246c46ff26f6b2b90 <-- why | 00:30 |
| Pici | shufflebot: directories need to be executable for them to be traversed into | 00:31 |
| Ben64 | shufflebot: you should really use sudo instead of running around as root | 00:31 |
| apos | ^^ | 00:33 |
| genoobie | hey all | 00:33 |
| genoobie | looking for a stripped down distro that runs lightweight for a PIII 800MHz, and 384MB ram (laptop) | 00:33 |
| apos | xubuntu | 00:33 |
| shufflebot | Ben64: sudo -i dude ;p | 00:33 |
| genoobie | apos, xubuntu is a bit laggy... | 00:33 |
| apos | because you have 384 ram. | 00:34 |
| KI4RO | Is there a way to tell the software center onto which drive to install software? | 00:34 |
| Ben64 | shufflebot: but then you used su | 00:34 |
| genoobie | right, but I was thinking just plain old, twm and a simplified de | 00:34 |
| histo | Pici: in his example puppet is x for user puppet | 00:34 |
| Pici | histo: but git is in the puppet group. | 00:34 |
| genoobie | I am running puppylinux and I'm not entirely unhappy with it | 00:34 |
| apos | your going to have to either use a very old distro from that era, or add a lil more ram | 00:34 |
| histo | Pici: ahh | 00:35 |
| genoobie | so apos if I bumped it up to 512MB (max) xubuntu might work nicely? | 00:35 |
| histo | shufflebot: puppet folder is only x for the user not the g | 00:35 |
| Ben64 | genoobie: you could try lubuntu too | 00:35 |
| Ben64 | not sure which is lighter | 00:36 |
| genoobie | ben64, I did but the video detect was borked.... | 00:36 |
| genoobie | lubuntu | 00:36 |
| apos | genoobie, yes. also it would be a good idea to adjust the "swappiness" so it wont use swap untill it absolutely has to | 00:36 |
| shufflebot | Ben64: yeah because I'm switching users | 00:36 |
| apos | lubuntu has more artwork | 00:36 |
| genoobie | apos more artwork than xubuntu? | 00:36 |
| apos | yes | 00:36 |
| genoobie | hmm...I have lubuntu installed on another laptop and it seems reasonable | 00:37 |
| genoobie | but that laptop is a dual core 1gb | 00:37 |
| genoobie | anyhow, apos, lubuntu, xubuntu anything more streamlined DE? | 00:37 |
| histo | Ben64: su = switch user | 00:37 |
| Ben64 | histo: i know... | 00:37 |
| genoobie | okay, so suppose I go with lubuntu, I have a *nix that has some drivers | 00:38 |
| apos | no dm and just run in terminal? | 00:38 |
| apos | lubuntu is fine. just adjust the swapiness | 00:38 |
| genoobie | should I get a printout of vendors (lspci) before I install lubuntu so the drivers work ok? | 00:38 |
| apos | if xubuntu works, im sure lubuntu will work | 00:39 |
| genoobie | yeah, xubuntu didn't quite work b/c of b43 legacy driver for wireless | 00:39 |
| apos | remove any and all unessesary startup apps and adjust the swapiness. | 00:40 |
| genoobie | so apos last thing | 00:40 |
| genoobie | 12.10? | 00:40 |
| usr13 | genoobie: What does a DE have to do with a WiFi driver? | 00:40 |
| genoobie | usr13, shouldn't have anything to do with it, but one *ntu install worked, the other didn't | 00:40 |
| genoobie | all same params | 00:40 |
| genoobie | md5s ok | 00:41 |
| apos | 12.10 is working fine for me. just make sure your keeping up with the updates as always | 00:41 |
| genoobie | okay, good enough | 00:41 |
| genoobie | I could use the graphical installer but it wants lots of mem | 00:41 |
| genoobie | planning to bump up ram to 512 | 00:41 |
| usr13 | genoobie: Help with Broadcom bcm43xx can be found at https://help.ubuntu.com/community/WifiDocs/Driver/bcm43xx | 00:41 |

| unsobill | but it just doesnt open telnet promt ... | 00:48 |
| unsobill | plz hurry guys :( | 00:48 |
| apos | use gksudo instead? | 00:48 |
| unsobill_ | gksudo for what ? | 00:49 |
| histo | unsobill: I don't think you want to change your default telnet app. To do so you would update-alternatives --config telnet | 00:49 |
| histo | unsobill_: ^^ Although this doesn't sound like your issue | 00:50 |
| unsobill_ | its basically a web form thats calling this command : telnet://xxx.xxx.xxx.xx:2000 | 00:50 |

| Ben64 | unsobill: then use telnet | 00:53 |
| histo | !details | unsobill_ This would help. | 00:53 |
| ubottu | unsobill_ This would help.: Please give us full details. For example: "I have a problem with ..., I'm running Ubuntu version .... When I try to do ..., I get the following output: ..., but I expected it to do ..." | 00:53 |
| unsobill_ | i was running it under chrome | 00:53 |
| histo | unsobill_: In windows or linux? | 00:53 |
| unsobill_ | ubuntu | 00:53 |
| unsobill_ | nothing - same result on firefox as chrome | 00:54 |
| unsobill_ | terminal window not being activated | 00:54 |
| unsobill_ | arfgh | 00:54 |
| unsobill_ | i can open terminal and easily telnet but command from browser doesnt work | 00:54 |
| histo | unsobill_: What webform? | 00:54 |
| unsobill_ | u want tv ? | 00:54 |
| unsobill_ | its basically lab farm | 00:55 |
| unsobill_ | that has lots of devices to telnet to | 00:55 |
| unsobill_ | u pick one - click open console to it and voila - terminal opens up with telnet connection to it | 00:55 |
| unsobill_ | thats how it is on windows :( | 00:55 |
| histo | unsobill_: yeah with internet explorer maybe | 00:55 |
| unsobill_ | nah with firefox and chrome | 00:55 |
| unsobill_ | i suspect i has to do with this command : | 00:56 |
| unsobill_ | telnet://xxx.xxx.xxx:xxx | 00:56 |
| unsobill_ | basically ubuntu has no idea what to do with association "telnet://" | 00:56 |
| unsobill_ | tghats my uneducated guess | 00:56 |
| histo | unsobill_: It's not that ubuntu doesn't but the browsers don't | 00:56 |
| TheLordOfTime | unsobill, correction: the browsers don't know the connection. | 00:57 |
| unsobill_ | should browser ask OS about associations then... | 00:57 |
| TheLordOfTime | unsobill, ubuntu doesn't dictate a browser's interpretation of URL prefixes (telnet://, IRC:// etc.( | 00:57 |
| TheLordOfTime | at least not afaikl | 00:57 |
| TheLordOfTime | file associations, maybe. prefix associations, don't think so. | 00:57 |
| unsobill_ | awesome then i need to manually use my gnome connection manager to manually telnet to 30 devices | 00:58 |
| histo | unsobill_: Have you thought about installing an extension in chrome or firefox? | 00:58 |
| unsobill_ | hmm | 00:58 |
| unsobill_ | perhaps may work | 00:58 |
| histo | unsobill_: here's one froma quick google search http://linux.softpedia.com/get/Internet/Google-Chrome-Extensions/Telnet-77530.shtml Althought I would just look int he play store. | 00:58 |
| histo | unsobill_: also you could add hostnames for each ip.. Then just telnet whateverhostname in a terminal | 00:59 |
| unsobill_ | i guess i just use terminal manager if nothing else would work fine | 00:59 |
| unsobill_ | no time for drilling | 01:00 |
| histo | unsobill_: I would look for an extension. | 01:00 |
| unsobill_ | im on ubuntu - no luxury of simplicity :D | 01:00 |
| histo | unsobill_: would take less than a few minutes. | 01:00 |

| unsobill_ | histo, telnet auto /usr/bin/telnet.netkit | 01:08 |

| kitten_mittens | ok it worked.. i went rapid fire on both | 01:09 |
| histo | unsobill_: yes that's fine | 01:09 |
| unsobill_ | oka ywhats KtelnetService | 01:09 |

| Guest80061 | Hi, I have a question about installing Ubuntu on USB w/ persistent file. When you're doing updates/saving to folders under home folder/etc. does ubuntu automatically save it to the persistent file(casper-rw)? | 01:13 |
| histo | kitten_mittens: also what version of ubuntu did you install | 01:13 |
| kitten_mittens | 12.10 | 01:13 |
| histo | Guest80061: yes | 01:13 |
| Ben64 | did 12.10 change the grub menu? | 01:14 |
| Guest80061 | Another question: How can I get my main hard drive to mount when it won't? | 01:14 |
| histo | kitten_mittens: do you not see something like this http://3.bp.blogspot.com/-JkW4rtv2kGA/T2iNGdO6MLI/AAAAAAAADUY/0NlBNgwJJgQ/s1600/GRUB2-boot-menu.png | 01:15 |
| histo | Ben64: man friggen 12.10 | 01:15 |
| Ben64 | Guest80061: what do you mean "when it won't" | 01:15 |
| kitten_mittens | yeah but differnt options | 01:15 |
| ElixirVitae | Hi~ | 01:15 |
| mangdood | What ways are there of changing GNOME 3 settings? I haven't installed it but I'd like to be able to change settings to my preference | 01:15 |
| histo | kitten_mittens: ahh they changed that in 12.10 select advanced options | 01:15 |
| kitten_mittens | and my grub is version 2.00-7ubuntu11 | 01:16 |
| Guest80061 | When I right click on it from the home folder and click mount I get an error message "unable to mount volume" | 01:16 |
| ElixirVitae | I was wondering whether setting up a new system from minimal CD and adding packages or deleting certain packages from a normal install have difference. | 01:16 |
| ElixirVitae | Does it? | 01:16 |
| histo | kitten_mittens: under advanced options you should be able to select an older kernel version | 01:16 |
| histo | ElixirVitae: yes gets rid of a lot of bloat | 01:16 |
| kitten_mittens | ok, theres versions 3.5.0-22 and 3.5.0-17 and both have a recovery option too | 01:17 |
| histo | ElixirVitae: you can completely customize what's installed | 01:17 |
| histo | kitten_mittens: slect 3.5.0-17 non-recovery | 01:17 |
| histo | kitten_mittens: see if the system boots without errors | 01:17 |
| kitten_mittens | it froze | 01:18 |
| ElixirVitae | Can't I get rid of the said bloat after install by hunting them down via synaptic? | 01:18 |
| kitten_mittens | it says loading linux 3.5.0-17-generic... then under it says loading initial ramdisk ... and its frozen | 01:18 |
| ElixirVitae | I meant normal install, btw. | 01:19 |
| histo | ElixirVitae: Yeah I guess just a longer way of doing it. | 01:19 |
| histo | ElixirVitae: like if you are going to just install ubuntu-desktop from a minimal install then there is no difference. | 01:20 |
| ElixirVitae | I wonder whether they will be more or less equivalent. | 01:20 |
| histo | ElixirVitae: if you are going to start with a cli system and work up then there would be. I'm sure you'd miss a bunch of stuff going backwards. | 01:20 |
| ElixirVitae | I sure won't install ubuntu-desktop :) | 01:20 |
| histo | ElixirVitae: Like what are you trying to accomplish in total? | 01:21 |
| ElixirVitae | Another question, do configs change between 32 and 64 bit systems? | 01:21 |
| histo | ElixirVitae: no | 01:22 |
| ElixirVitae | I want to get a leaner system, and learn more in the process, but wonder whether the hassle would be worth it. | 01:22 |
| ElixirVitae | If it doesn't give me much benefit, I'd rather install normal and delete some parts. | 01:22 |
| azbyin | hi all.. How do i ensure that *all* logged in users are able to read/write to a usb disk i have just plugged in? | 01:22 |

| JokesOnYou77 | Hi all, how do I start an ssh session and then background it? (And then bring it back to foreground and/or end it when I want to get rid of it) | 01:23 |
| histo | ElixirVitae: You could always create a virtual machine and install a minimals system and work up.. Ex: install xorg then whatever de you wanted. You don't have to use a login manager for instance or you can pick a lighter one. | 01:23 |
| histo | kitten_mittens: what did it still lock up? | 01:23 |
| kitten_mittens | it says loading linux 3.5.0-17-generic... then under it says loading initial ramdisk ... and its frozen | 01:23 |
| histo | kitten_mittens: okay time to try recovery mode | 01:23 |
| ElixirVitae | Great, I should test it in VM, that way I can check whether my configs carry over seamlessly as well. | 01:23 |
| === TheRainbowNight is now known as TheRainbowDawn | ||
| kitten_mittens | mm im just googling it first to see why its happening | 01:24 |
| ElixirVitae | Thanks histo, much appreciated. | 01:24 |
| histo | JokesOnYou77: ctlr+z will dump you back to a prompt then type bg to background | 01:24 |
| somsip | JokesOnYou77: use something like screen or tmux, if I understand what you need correctly | 01:24 |
| kitten_mittens | but my nets going super slow, wont load the pages -_- | 01:24 |
| histo | JokesOnYou77: fg will bring it back to fore ground. | 01:24 |
| histo | kitten_mittens: could be many things. Bad hardware or software... We hve to test. | 01:25 |
| kitten_mittens | its not hardware, i have a nevery expensive motherboard that tells me whenever somethings wrong hardware wise | 01:25 |
| JokesOnYou77 | histo, ctrl+z doesn't seem to work with an ssh session | 01:26 |
| histo | kitten_mittens: I wouldn't rule it out. Since you are experiencing these wierd issues. But you need to try booting to recovery mode. It should dump you at a terminal. Then we can see if all the updates installed properly. | 01:27 |
| histo | JokesOnYou77: hold up let me try | 01:27 |
| kitten_mittens | ok | 01:27 |
| histo | JokesOnYou77: I would use screen then. | 01:28 |
| histo | JokesOnYou77: I didn't even think that it would forward the ctrl+z to the remote session | 01:28 |
| histo | duh | 01:28 |
| === Granis` is now known as Granis | ||
| histo | JokesOnYou77: if you want to use jobs ie ctrl+z you have to ~ then Ctrl+z | 01:29 |
| JokesOnYou77 | histo, I figured it out. I can just use & and then fg the job number it gives when I want to get it back :) | 01:29 |
| histo | JokesOnYou77: ~ is the escape character | 01:30 |
| histo | JokesOnYou77: http://unix.stackexchange.com/questions/42365/how-do-i-background-an-ssh-session/42367#42367 | 01:30 |
| histo | JokesOnYou77: although you still should checkout screen much more powerfull. | 01:30 |
| Ben64 | yes, screen | 01:30 |
| JokesOnYou77 | histo, thanks. Yeah, my solution didn't quite seem to work, I could get the ssh session back just with fg but then something funky happened with the prompt | 01:31 |
| JokesOnYou77 | And yes, I realize that screen is generally better but I'm using my GUI atm, and I don't like multiple gui terminal windows running AND screen | 01:32 |
| histo | JokesOnYou77: when you bring it back hit enter for the screen to redraw. But ~ then ctrl+z works here for me | 01:32 |
| kitten_mittens | histo im in the recovery menu, now what | 01:32 |
| histo | JokesOnYou77: What I use is screen on the remote machine. So I can disconnect the ssh session. Then if I want to come back I just ssh back in and reattach the screen starting where I left off. | 01:32 |
| histo | kitten_mittens: No under Advanced options for Ubuntu boot one of the (reocover mode) kernels | 01:33 |

| unsobill | fuking hell | 01:34 |
| unsobill | putty FTW | 01:34 |
| JokesOnYou77 | histo, ahhh yes, I see what you mean. I'm actually starting an ssh session with a dynamically forwarded port to the remot host so I can use it as a SOCKS proxy from browsing on my local host. I don't have anything to really DO on the remote machine, I just need the tunnel open | 01:34 |
| histo | JokesOnYou77: then use -N so you don't get a prompt | 01:35 |
| histo | kitten_mittens: what are your options? | 01:35 |
| kitten_mittens | resume normal boot, clean, dpkg, grub, network, root, system summery | 01:36 |
| kitten_mittens | im guessing root? it says drop to root shell promt | 01:36 |
| JokesOnYou77 | histo, perfect! ty :) | 01:36 |
| histo | kitten_mittens: How is this computer connected to network? | 01:36 |

| kitten_mittens | no | 01:37 |
| ekristen | also is there any way to run a repo mirror but be able to approve/disapprove packages before allowing servers to download them? | 01:37 |
| histo | kitten_mittens: what's under network? Can you configure your network card. And then drop to root shell that would be the goal here. Sorry it's been awhile since i've been in there. | 01:37 |

| NewUbun | "your java vendor is "oracle corporation". to run OpenProj, you nee dthe sun java iplementation. The auto-detect java runtime used is "java". If you hae a newer version, you can anually cane it by editing the "Java_exe" property in te auto-detection file, "$HOME/.openproj/run.conf" Otherwise, to force auto-detection again you can remove "$Home/.openproj/run.conf" | 02:02 |
| NewUbun | i installed open proj an it wont run | 02:02 |
| OerHeks | openproject and closed oracle java .. i guess you need openJDK | 02:02 |

| NewUbun | ItsMe: i downloaded it, changed it to .deb and installed it | 02:07 |
| NewUbun | but looks like it has a problem with my Java | 02:07 |
| kitten_mittens | the problem is when i turn on my pc, it freezes, so we tryed a differnt kennal thing in grub and it just locks up at loading initial ramdisk | 02:07 |

| NewUbun | I changed the folder from rpm to deb | 02:09 |
| NewUbun | the zip folder i had downloaded was in rpm | 02:09 |
| gmachine_24 | kitten_mittens, well............ if you get to the Grub splash screen . . . you can choose (usually) to go to a command line... there should be that option for every kernel version you have on your drive | 02:09 |
| kitten_mittens | yeah we tryed that | 02:10 |
| kitten_mittens | well we tryed a differnt kernal thing | 02:10 |
| gmachine_24 | kitten_mittens, if not, if you have a live USB boot drive - or even a cd - you can boot into the live version and then to a file check from a terminal | 02:10 |

| Guest33132 | i just burnt the newest iso of ubuntu to a dvd to install it into my lapotop and it still wants to load up with my old ubuntu the i had a dvd for that is unsupported now. and the boot option is set to boot from dvd. | 02:28 |

| Hamled | so I'm trying to configure a machine with two ethernet interfaces, both with static IPs. When I do an ifup -a it brings up both interfaces and sets a route for default using one interface, but I want it to use the other instead. I've added such a statement to the correct interface in /etc/network/interfaces but it's still just using the other interface | 02:29 |
| Hamled | how can I figure out what is causing it to setup a route for default on one of the interfaces automatically? | 02:30 |
| gmachine_24 | kittenmittenz, ok, try this | 02:30 |
| Guest33132 | ? | 02:31 |

| ItsMe__ | Guest33132, did u checked md5 ? And are u sure you wrote the iso correctly ? I think u can't see boot menu from dvd ? | 02:31 |
| gmachine_24 | kittenmittenz, ok, try $sudo badblocks -v /dev/sda | 02:31 |
| gmachine_24 | kittenmittenz, ok, try if you cannot do that, you might have to install the program e2fsprogs as in $sudo apt-get install e2fsprogs | 02:32 |
| Guest33132 | im saying i changed the boot menu in the pc to boot from dvd first. would md5 been when burning or? | 02:32 |

| evansch0 | i need to find out how to connect a device like a usb as a drive like c:\ or D:\ | 02:37 |
| gmachine_24 | kittenmittenz, it is checking. also, when you boot from a live install on a usb drive or cd/dvd there is a choice to do a hard drive check | 02:37 |
| gmachine_24 | kittenmittenz, that is one of your options. | 02:38 |
| NewUbun | i used the cd / then cd home and then cd newubun but after that when i tried ls i did not get any file by the name .openproj | 02:38 |
| kittenmittenz | ill o that next | 02:38 |
| NewUbun | ok | 02:39 |
| gmachine_24 | kittenmittenz, and............ if you don't like any of those......... you can do $sudo touch /forcefsck which will force the computer to do a hard drive check on your next reboot | 02:39 |
| evansch0 | so does anyone know how to connect a usb as a main drive | 02:39 |

| usr13 | losticeberg: Is the ethernet card working? | 03:00 |
| usr13 | evansch0: Yes, if your computer will boot to it. | 03:00 |
| losticeberg | not sure no way to hook up to test | 03:00 |
| evansch0 | usr13: i think it will since it booted from a usb one before | 03:01 |
| usr13 | evansch0: If your computer is capable of booting to USB, then yes, you can do the complete Ubuntu install on it. | 03:01 |
| usr13 | evansch0: How big is it? | 03:01 |
| gmachine_24 | losticeberg, for example, $sudo lspci has this as my bottom line "03:00.0 Network controller: Broadcom Corporation BCM4311 802.11b/g WLAN (rev 02)" | 03:01 |

| arp- | I need the binary name of ATI Catalyst GUI , can help me? | 03:03 |
| evansch0 | usr13: what were you reffering to when you said "how big is it?" | 03:04 |
| usr13 | evansch0: Your USB drive. | 03:04 |
| evansch0 | usr13: oh well its only 4 gb xD | 03:04 |
| dr_willis | arp-: it's amdccc or somthing like that | 03:04 |
| usr13 | evansch0: That's pretty small. A normal Ubuntu install will not fit on 4G | 03:05 |
| loren | I ran the command in terminal and then tried to paste the display in this message line, resulting in a FloodBot. | 03:05 |
| evansch0 | usr13 well it was only the boot up usb | 03:05 |
| usr13 | !minimal | evansch0 | 03:05 |
| ubottu | evansch0: 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/MinimalCD | 03:05 |

| OerHeks | filantropus, "machine check exception" sounds like a hardwarefailure | 03:09 |
| usr13 | filantropus: Ask a question, if someone knows the answer they will say so. | 03:09 |
| ahmedipa | I have problem with network manager | 03:10 |

| ahmedipa | I removed it by mistake | 03:10 |
| usr13 | filantropus: "fail"? | 03:10 |
| usr13 | ahmedipa: You can re-install it. | 03:10 |
| filantropus | yes. | 03:10 |
| gmachine_24 | mce result when cpu determines there is a hardware error | 03:10 |
| usr13 | ahmedipa: Are you connected to the internet right now? | 03:10 |
| evansch0 | usr13, gmachine_24, thank you for your help :D | 03:11 |
| filantropus | my pc says: | 03:11 |

| OerHeks | filantropus, depends on what bios maker, short-long beeps can tell | 03:11 |
| filantropus | "machine check exception" | 03:11 |
| usr13 | ahmedipa: If so, sudo apt-get install network-manager | 03:11 |

| kittenmittenz | is that ba gmachine? | 03:13 |
| gmachine_24 | I've never seen anything use 211% of the cpu | 03:13 |
| kittenmittenz | lol | 03:13 |
| ahmedipa | usr13: I am using wireless by using my usb live | 03:13 |
| gmachine_24 | that would seem impossible | 03:13 |
| gmachine_24 | and the xorg cpu use is high | 03:14 |
| usr13 | ahmedipa: iwconfig #Tell us the name of the adapter. | 03:14 |

| kittenmittenz | cpu isnt hot so.. i ont think its overclocking it | 03:14 |
| usr13 | ahmedipa: Is it wlan0 ? Or.... ____________? | 03:14 |
| gmachine_24 | OerHeks, ahhhhhhhhh. thank you. | 03:14 |
| kittenmittenz | ohh.. i have an 8core | 03:14 |
| OerHeks | 1 zombie | 03:14 |

| ahmedipa | sorry | 03:15 |
| ahmedipa | wlan0 | 03:15 |
| kittenmittenz | personal? | 03:15 |
| usr13 | ahmedipa: Open a terminal, type iwconfig Hit Enter. See what it says. (Tell us the name of the wireless device, something like wlan0 ). | 03:15 |
| gmachine_24 | nevermind. a bad joke. :) | 03:15 |
| ahmedipa | yes it is wlan0 | 03:15 |
| kittenmittenz | ammit, youtube stoppe working.. i hate live usb | 03:16 |
| ahmedipa | usr13: it is wlan0 | 03:16 |
| usr13 | ahmedipa: Ok, do you know the essid of your wireless router? If not, do iwlist wlan0 scan | 03:16 |
| usr13 | ahmedipa: What is the essid? ____________? | 03:16 |
| st0b | Hey guys. I'm a long time 10.04 user migrating to 12.04. I've had a lot of trouble on a fresh install of 12.04 with my wireless connection slowing to a halt. I've even used different NIC's with the same result | 03:17 |
| st0b | I've never had any issue similar in 10.04 | 03:17 |
| ahmedipa | usr13: do you mean my network yes I know | 03:17 |
| usr13 | ahmedipa: Yes, network name | 03:18 |
| ahmedipa | usr13: I found the name of ESSID: | 03:18 |
| usr13 | ahmedipa: network name = ESSID | 03:19 |
| ahmedipa | usr13: yeb | 03:19 |
| usr13 | ahmedipa: Does your wireless router use encryption? | 03:19 |
| ahmedipa | yes | 03:19 |
| loren | First time on XChat. How do I send output from terminal to this channel? | 03:19 |
| ahmedipa | usr13: yes | 03:19 |
| usr13 | ahmedipa: What type? WEP? | 03:19 |
| ahmedipa | usr13: I don't remember | 03:20 |
| st0b | loren, post in pastebin and then the link here | 03:20 |
| usr13 | ahmedipa: Ok, can't help you. YOu will need to get an ethernet cable long enough to reach the router and just plug it in. | 03:20 |
| ahmedipa | aha | 03:21 |
| usr13 | ahmedipa: Or, login to the router and temporarily turn off encryption. | 03:21 |
| ahmedipa | usr13: sounds good | 03:21 |
| usr13 | ahmedipa: If you have another computer that has an active connection to the router, you should be able to login to it and turn off encryption. | 03:22 |
| bencc | can I use selinux in ubuntu? | 03:22 |
| usr13 | ahmedipa: Let us know when you have that done. | 03:22 |
| usr13 | bencc: Yes | 03:23 |
| billytwowilly | can somebody point me to a repository with php 5.4.11 in it for quantal? the one I was using for precise doesn't have quantal packages and google has been no help... | 03:23 |
| usr13 | bencc: sudo apt-get install selinux | 03:23 |
| OerHeks | !selinux | 03:23 |
| ubottu | SELinux is available on Ubuntu, but not officially supported. Ubuntu uses another security framework by default, see https://help.ubuntu.com/community/AppArmor | 03:23 |
| ahmedipa | I will back because I have another prplm | 03:23 |
| usr13 | OerHeks: Thanks. | 03:24 |
| OerHeks | disable appamor first, i think | 03:24 |
| bencc | OerHeks: so it's not a good idea to use it? | 03:24 |
| mehwork | how can i iterate through gnome-terminal tabs with my keyboard? | 03:24 |
| bencc | OerHeks: I mean, if it's a security feature and it's not officially supported | 03:25 |
| usr13 | bencc: As OerHeks points out, you are better off to use AppArmor, see https://help.ubuntu.com/community/AppArmor | 03:25 |
| st0b | I've been seeking help for my wifi dying after extended use. Restarting the network service seems to remedy the situation temporarily. I experience this on a fresh 12.04 install with multiple wireless NICs | 03:25 |
| ahmedipa | usr13:I will restart within 10 minute I think I will finish before | 03:25 |
| usr13 | ahmedipa: Do you now have encryption turned off? | 03:26 |
| OerHeks | bencc, i have no experience with selinux/ubuntu, i think it is a design choice | 03:26 |
| malkauns | in 12.10 how do i get empathy to remember my yahoo contacts? | 03:27 |
| kittenmittenz | i have a 250gb Vertex 4 SSD, is there compatibility issues with it on ubuntu? | 03:27 |
| mehwork | it seems weird to make security features something that can be disabled | 03:27 |
| usr13 | malkauns: Aren't they on your yahoo web based interface? | 03:27 |
| usr13 | malkauns: Or are you using a PC based email client? If so, which one? | 03:28 |
| malkauns | usr13, yea but when i rename a contact in empathy it should remember it | 03:28 |
| mehwork | it's like giving someone a hard hat but not making them wear it | 03:28 |
| usr13 | malkauns: You have a set of contacts in empathy? | 03:29 |
| malkauns | usr13, i'm using empathy which is a standalone Multi-IM client for linux | 03:29 |
| malkauns | usr13, yes | 03:29 |
| malkauns | usr13, but when i restart empathy it doesn't remember what i renamed my yahoo contacts to | 03:29 |
| usr13 | malkauns: I do not know if mpathy will automatically upload new contact information to Yahoo, but I do not think it does. | 03:29 |
| usr13 | malkauns: I figure it's better to just use the web-based email server. | 03:31 |
| usr13 | malkauns: ... that way, you are not restricted to only using your home PC for email. | 03:31 |
| malkauns | usr13, erm, not the ideal solution when i use facebook-chat, google-talk and aim | 03:32 |
| Evansch0 | hi | 03:32 |
| usr13 | malkauns: I always thought that was what tabs were for. (in the browser). | 03:33 |
| malkauns | usr13, i am aware the pro's and cons or using a web based interface but the problem is Empathy should remember the aliases i set | 03:33 |
| usr13 | malkauns: Maybe it does, I dono | 03:33 |
| s5fs | Hey, if I've got a service that it started by dbus, and I kill it with 'kill', how do I re-start it? Is there like a dbus-service-start or whatever? | 03:34 |

| Evansch0 | mwahaha | 03:41 |
| ahmedipa | Wireless disconnects with ubuntu 12.04LTS | 03:41 |
| ahmedipa | this problem starts today | 03:41 |
| iManassah | anyone play with yamas? | 03:41 |

| ahmedipa | usr13: back | 03:41 |
| iManassah | mitm for ubuntu | 03:41 |

| ahmedipa | thank you for helping me about the first problem | 03:42 |
| usr13 | ahmedipa: Do you now have encryption turned off? | 03:42 |
| ahmedipa | usr13: my main problem wireless | 03:42 |
| iManassah | Evans...when your machine first boots up, choose to boot with recovery mode, or something like that | 03:42 |
| loren | Places in the archive manager does not show the windows share file, so I cannot direct the output to my home server. Nautilus has no trouble locating the file and allowing me to read and write. | 03:42 |
| Evansch0 | how | 03:42 |
| ahmedipa | how can I check this | 03:42 |
| iManassah | Evans: that will take you to a root prompt, then just passwd (user) to change password | 03:42 |
| Evansch0 | i dont have ubuntu installed | 03:43 |
| usr13 | ahmedipa: Did you log into the router and turn encryption off? | 03:43 |
| Evansch0 | xD | 03:43 |
| ahmedipa | usr13: I used wired | 03:43 |
| iManassah | what do you have Evans | 03:43 |
| Evansch0 | a boot up disk | 03:43 |
| usr13 | ahmedipa: sudo apt-get install network-manager | 03:43 |
| ahmedipa | usr13: wired instead of wireless | 03:43 |
| Evansch0 | for ubuntu 12.04 lts | 03:43 |

| spetsnoz | is ext4 a full 64-bit file system? this part of the ext4 wiki seems to be saying otherwise https://ext4.wiki.kernel.org/index.php/Ext4_Howto#Bigger_File_System_and_File_Sizes | 03:48 |

| antonio_ | dr_willis: don't I need to put a / in between the two words? | 03:48 |
| dr_willis | antonio_: you have several folders called market whatever ? | 03:48 |
| antonio_ | nope | 03:49 |
| antonio_ | should it be cd Market\ Samurai ? | 03:49 |
| dr_willis | antonio_: tab completion shoudl add it automatically... | 03:49 |
| antonio_ | didn't | 03:49 |
| dr_willis | antonio_: try it and see... | 03:49 |
| antonio_ | haha | 03:49 |
| antonio_ | I'm an idiot | 03:49 |
| dr_willis | cd "dir with spaces" whould work also | 03:49 |
| dr_willis | stop using spaces in file and dir names = best answer | 03:49 |

| ahmedipa | I see what you mean | 03:51 |
| usr13 | antonio_: pwd is your friend | 03:52 |
| DigitalPhil | usr13: that url from the bot returned a blank page. | 03:53 |
| ahmedipa | usr13: http://imagebin.org/244765 | 03:53 |
| usr13 | dr_willis: Good advice. It is a bad idea to make file names or directory names that have spaces. Very confusing. | 03:53 |
| ahmedipa | usr13: this is the screen shot | 03:53 |
| usr13 | DigitalPhil: What URL? | 03:53 |

| ahmedipa | usr13: this application try to find network but it tell me disconnected | 03:54 |
| ahmedipa | I used wired not wireless | 03:54 |
| usr13 | ahmedipa: Click up there where the up and down arrows are. | 03:54 |
| DigitalPhil | usr13: http://www.ubuntuforums.org/archive/index.php/t-12058.html is the url the bot spit out, that url returns blank in three browsers. | 03:55 |
| ahmedipa | usr13:although I select my network and I type password, it search for network but it tell me disconnected | 03:56 |
| ahmedipa | usr13: may be because I updated a lot | 03:56 |
| antonio_ | usr13: huh what is pwd | 03:58 |
| antonio_ | ? | 03:58 |
| zygoptera | antonio_ | pwd is a command that tells you what directory you are in | 03:58 |
| antonio_ | ah | 03:58 |
| usr13 | ahmedipa: Are you sure the passphrase is correct? | 03:59 |
| ahmedipa | yes, if incorrect it will tell me | 03:59 |

| d1rkp1tt | Hi all, I am running an ubuntu server minus desktop on low memory. Just wondering if anyone has a good resource on what can be safely trimmed from the system to get a very small footprint | 04:05 |
| === Prodego is now known as lar | ||
| === lar is now known as prodego | ||
| TheLordOfTime | d1rkp1tt, how low are we talking for memory? | 04:05 |
| usr13 | loren: http://imagebin.org/244767 | 04:05 |
| antonio_ | when I try to install marketsamurai.air an xterm window opens up...and its not accepting my root password...dr_willis: any ideas? | 04:05 |
| loren | http://paste.ubuntu.com/1587871/ | 04:06 |
| zygoptera | ubuntu doesn't by default have a root password | 04:06 |
| slipp3d | so here is a wondering ... I have xubuntu installed and working fine .. .but any time I load up a site that has flash on it the computer locks up and the computer is completely unresponsive ... I have to hold the power button down to get it to let go ... any thoughts on that ..... | 04:06 |
| === prodego is now known as Prodego | ||
| usr13 | antonio_: Use user password | 04:06 |
| antonio_ | "this application requires administrative rights to run" | 04:06 |
| antonio_ | usr13: its not working | 04:07 |
| slipp3d | I have tried different browsers ... but it does not matter ... | 04:07 |
| usr13 | antonio_: what application is it? | 04:07 |
| zygoptera | slipp3d | flash itself is pretty buggy | 04:07 |
| antonio_ | market samurai... | 04:07 |
| antonio_ | its an adobe air application | 04:07 |
| blunted | Fdisk and parted cannot seem to find sda. However it is there and has 1&2 mounted, no raid no lvm | 04:08 |
| slipp3d | zygoptera, I realize that ... but that does not explain why it was working and now it does not | 04:08 |
| rob_p | d1rkp1tt: Ubuntu Server is already pretty thin. It doesn't come with a whole lot of extra stuff by default. But if you want, you can add anything from the repos... | 04:08 |
| antonio_ | usr13: see this picture the black window at the top is asking for my password | 04:09 |
| poz | hi | 04:09 |
| antonio_ | http://i98.photobucket.com/albums/l269/con_movies/Screenshotfrom2013-01-29180713_zpse83f7774.png | 04:09 |
| antonio_ | the problem is that its not accepting my password | 04:09 |
| d1rkp1tt | rob_b ... thanks. It was pretty good out of the box, until i did an apt-get upgrade | 04:09 |
| zygoptera | slipp3d | did you update your flash? | 04:09 |
| d1rkp1tt | rob_p the upgrade increased the footprint a bit | 04:10 |
| blunted | Where do disk and parted look for disk info? | 04:10 |
| slipp3d | zygoptera, installed from the software center | 04:10 |
| rob_p | d1rkp1tt: Shouldn't have though... upgrades simply replace older versions... | 04:10 |
| slipp3d | so i would guess that is the most current | 04:10 |
| antonio_ | got it..I had to run sudo /usr/bin/Adobe\ AIR\ Application\ Installer | 04:10 |
| dr_willis | antonio_: run it as root.. better idea dont use air at all... | 04:10 |
| zygoptera | slipp3d | was it previous version that was working right? | 04:11 |
| rob_p | d1rkp1tt: That's not to say that the newer versions aren't sometimes a little bigger... but not usually significantly. | 04:11 |
| antonio_ | dr_willis: I have to run air for this program..no way around it | 04:11 |
| dr_willis | id find a differnt program then | 04:11 |
| slipp3d | 12.04 was working ... 12.10 is broken | 04:11 |
| antonio_ | dr_willis: its the industry standard | 04:11 |
| dr_willis | air is basically dead on linuxx | 04:11 |
| d1rkp1tt | rob_p thanks | 04:11 |
| linux34892 | I have no sound in Ubuntu 12.10 and alsamixer says cannot open mixer: no such file or directory, i tried installing alsa and pulseaudio from the repos... still no sound, soundcard is NVIDIA Corporation MCP51 High Definition Audio (rev a2) | 04:11 |
| rob_p | d1rkp1tt: The difference in *most* cases should be negligable... | 04:11 |
| zygoptera | slipp3d | that's true | 04:11 |
| antonio_ | Thats what drives me nuts about linux... "find a different program" | 04:11 |
| rob_p | d1rkp1tt: Is your system dipping into swap? | 04:12 |
| dr_willis | antonio_: adobe ahs killed air on linux. it may fail to work at any time. no security updates and so forth | 04:12 |
| usr13 | antonio_: I don't know about samurai How did you install it? | 04:12 |
| rob_p | d1rkp1tt: If not, then there's no need to worry... | 04:12 |
| usr13 | antonio_: Is this it? > http://www.madirish.net/188 < | 04:12 |
| dr_willis | adobe is great at screwing things up.. | 04:12 |
| antonio_ | nope usr13: www.marketsamurai.com | 04:13 |
| slipp3d | so i guess i'm stuck not using flash at all ... or down grade to 10.04 | 04:13 |
| zygoptera | slipp3d | I thought you said 12.04 worked? | 04:13 |
| dr_willis | slipp3d: i ten to use flash downloader extensions, or flash-replacer extsnioons taht play videos in vlc | 04:13 |
| dr_willis | slipp3d: but flash is working for me on 12.10 64bit with my nvidia cards | 04:14 |
| usr13 | antonio_: What file did you download? (Can you give us the filename? | 04:14 |
| rob_p | d1rkp1tt: ...but if you're hitting swap, then you might want to look into ways to avoid it. | 04:14 |
| slipp3d | 12.04 is what I meant to type ... | 04:14 |
| usr13 | antonio_: Does it offer install packages for different distros? | 04:15 |
| zygoptera | slipp3d | 12.04 isn't so bad, it will be supported much longer | 04:15 |
| d1rkp1tt | its not yet... but its brand new and I havent loaded it up | 04:15 |
| d1rkp1tt | Just thinking, it hasnt got much for what I want to do | 04:15 |
| rob_p | d1rkp1tt: Just keep an eye on it. Also, make sure you understand memory management in Linux before you assume that your system is RAM hungry. Remember, unused RAM is wasted ram! :) | 04:16 |
| antonio_ | usr13: nope | 04:16 |
| slipp3d | dr_willis, i'm running that on an intel based laptop | 04:16 |
| antonio_ | I've got it working for now | 04:16 |
| usr13 | antonio_: See my PM | 04:16 |
| d1rkp1tt | rob_p 77mb spare, isnt a lot | 04:16 |
| usr13 | antonio_: ok good. | 04:17 |
| slipp3d | zygoptera, is 12.04 getting the newest version of xfce? or is it stuck on the older versions? | 04:17 |
| dr_willis | !latest | 04:17 |
| ubottu | Packages in Ubuntu may not be the latest. Ubuntu aims for stability, so "latest" may not be a good idea. Post-release updates are only considered if they are fixes for security vulnerabilities, high impact bug fixes, or unintrusive bug fixes with substantial benefit. See also !backports, !sru, and !ppa. | 04:17 |
| rob_p | d1rkp1tt: Again, make sure you understand how much *spare* RAM your system actually has! | 04:17 |
| zygoptera | slipp3d | I believe you can still get the newest xfce | 04:17 |
| vileman | who know why i couldn't find firefox in awesome except use shell | 04:18 |
| slipp3d | i'll have to look into that zygoptera that might be an option | 04:18 |
| rob_p | d1rkp1tt: buffers, cache, etc... | 04:18 |
| cfhowlett | slipp3d, installing xfce is easy ... | 04:18 |
| zygoptera | slipp3d | but you can't downgrade back to 12.04, you have to reinstall | 04:18 |
| d1rkp1tt | Yeah I am reading from top and free-m | 04:18 |
| slipp3d | right ... i'm not worried about it ... just didn't want to backup and reinstall agin ... | 04:19 |
| slipp3d | +a | 04:19 |
| rob_p | d1rkp1tt: Linux memory management is misleading to the uninformed... (not saying that you are, just saying...) | 04:19 |
| d1rkp1tt | rob_p its ok... Im no expert | 04:19 |
| slipp3d | brb ... | 04:19 |
| rob_p | d1rkp1tt: Just keep an eye on swap and if you start digging into it and the value stadily increases, then you are indeed exhausting your physical RAM and then you'd want to address it. | 04:21 |
| d1rkp1tt | rob_p Thanks. | 04:21 |
| rob_p | d1rkp1tt: Until then, just enjoy your Ubuntu Server! :) | 04:21 |

| Ben64 | usr13: i was thinking the same thing | 04:25 |
| usr13 | xrs: What? | 04:26 |
| xrs | google says just double lick the font and click install, but it opens in fontforge and i dont see an "install" button | 04:27 |
| zygoptera | xrs | are you sure it isn't already installed? | 04:27 |
| usr13 | xrs: man fontforge | 04:27 |
| xrs | its a custom font that didnt come with ubuntu | 04:28 |

| wolftune | I can't seem to get it to show on my Ubuntu system | 04:30 |
| xrs | Wolfpack, do you have samba installed? | 04:30 |
| wolftune | yes I installed samba | 04:30 |
| usr13 | xrs: See: https://wiki.ubuntu.com/Fonts (ttf-mscorefonts-installer) | 04:31 |
| wolftune | under smb: workgroup I see the mac, but then it times out when I open it | 04:31 |
| usr13 | wolftune: An Apple computer? | 04:32 |
| wolftune | the Linux computer is not Apple, the Apple is what I'm trying to access | 04:32 |
| wolftune | I did not install samba specifically on the Apple | 04:32 |
| Ben64 | can you access it with anything else | 04:32 |
| Ben64 | seems like its an apple problem | 04:33 |
| wolftune | I can use remote desktop and control the Apple that way | 04:33 |
| genoobie | hey all | 04:33 |
| wolftune | hi | 04:33 |
| cfhowlett | genoobie, greetings | 04:33 |
| genoobie | I just finished installing lubuntu | 04:33 |
| genoobie | but the video is a bit screwed up | 04:34 |
| genoobie | at the login if i hit ctrl+alt+f1 | 04:34 |
| genoobie | I get a text / cli | 04:34 |
| genoobie | and I can loging | 04:34 |
| genoobie | login | 04:34 |
| genoobie | not sure how to fix my video tho | 04:34 |
| Ben64 | genoobie: don't use enter as punctuation. how is the video screwed up? can you post a picture? what video card does the computer have? | 04:35 |
| genoobie | well it's got some form of S3 / Savage | 04:36 |
| genoobie | It's hard to describe the video screw-up | 04:36 |
| genoobie | it certainly cannot display correctly | 04:36 |
| genoobie | the machine says it has 133 pkgs to be updates | 04:36 |
| Ben64 | give us a picture. and you don't need to use so many lines, use commas or periods or something | 04:37 |
| cfhowlett | genoobie, for a fresh install on first update, that's about right | 04:37 |
| thoonai | does ping send thing on other pipes as stdout? and how I detect them? | 04:37 |
| genoobie | okay, I will try not to use enter as a form of punctuation. Sorry. I can't quite get a picture online. | 04:37 |
| loren | usr13 did you get my paste? | 04:37 |
| Ben64 | genoobie: you don't have a cell phone with a camera, or a camera? | 04:37 |
| genoobie | okay, let me see if I can make that happen... | 04:38 |

| RocketLauncher | How can I get Gnome's keyboard shortcuts to work with another window manager? I don't want to fiddle with xbindkeys.... | 04:39 |
| kunji | thoonai: Umm, you mean when someone pings your ip? | 04:39 |
| TheLordOfTime | Tecan, the 404s are because those PPAs likely don't support the relese you're on (thereby there's nothing to find there, hence 404) | 04:39 |
| Tecan | ya but how do i delete them | 04:39 |
| TheLordOfTime | Tecan, as for the getdeb one, i think they're down, but if they aren't its a sign you can't get there | 04:39 |
| usr13 | loren: I don't know. Send the URL again. | 04:40 |
| TheLordOfTime | Tecan, remove the entries in /etc/apt/sources.list.d/ that correspond to the PPAs | 04:40 |

| thoonai | kunji: I want to call some programms with a python subprocess, so I called ping and read stdout, but just the general stuff and the summeray appeared on stdout, the rest (steps in between) doesnt | 04:41 |
| kunji | RocketLauncher: I'm not sure if you can, I don't know how that interacts too well though, maybe your other window manager supports assigning them it's own way? | 04:41 |
| red82 | I am trying to optimize the performance of a magento installation on an ubuntu server. can anyone suggest a good link for me to read? | 04:41 |
| cfhowlett | red82, this would be a good question for #ubuntu-server | 04:42 |
| RocketLauncher | kunji: i'm using dwm, my window manager doesn't handle any of that | 04:42 |
| red82 | ty | 04:42 |
| RocketLauncher | I just wonder if there's daemon or something i can start | 04:42 |
| kunji | thoonai: That's interesting... because when I ping I see everything getting printed on stdout, you can check on the command line, e.g. ping google.com | 04:42 |
| kunji | thoonai: Are you using some non-standard implementation of ping? | 04:43 |
| gayle | exit | 04:43 |
| genoobie | Ben64 are you still here? This is what the login screen looks like the login screen looks like this....http://postimage.org/image/76g39fvnl/7648fc50/ | 04:44 |
| thoonai | kunji: the original one from ubuntu, nothing changed | 04:44 |
| thoonai | if I call it in the terminal I get all output too | 04:44 |
| kunji | RocketLauncher: Well, I guess you wanted minimalism then, I guess you got it :P Hmm, reading the wiki page for dwm it sounds like there should be a way from how the dmenu section reads: http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Dwm | 04:45 |
| kunji | thoonai: here's an example of my ping, http://paste.ubuntu.com/1588100/ You're sure yours doesn't do that? | 04:46 |
| Tristan128 | what kernel version is 12.04 using? | 04:49 |
| kunji | thoonai: Oh, sorry missed that post, so on terminal you get it all, exactly how are you calling it then? Shell script called from python? Directly from python? It would be good if you pastebin the relevant bit of code. | 04:50 |
| kunji | Tristan128: There is a chart here: http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/List_of_Ubuntu_releases | 04:52 |
| xrs | okay check this. i can manually install the font into my home dir, but this does not address the root cause of why i am here. i am here because the directions on how to install a font using the GUI do not apply because i have fontforge installed. double clicking on the font opens the font in fontforge and not whatever the ubuntu default is, so can you tell me the name of the package that ubuntu is supposed to be using by default? | 04:53 |

| kunji | ESphynx: You can get them in Unity as well, they're just not installed by default. | 04:55 |
| makara | xrs, yes, I did update | 04:55 |
| djdos | yes | 04:55 |
| Rakko | Hi all. Some of you may recall I was complaining about high-latency scrolling in my Ubuntu VM, when using my Mac's trackpad. Well, I just plugged in my mouse, and it has the same problem. | 04:55 |
| bluebeat09 | hello!. i been trying to fix mi wifi connection for weeks now and nothingg--( wifi disconnects frequently) i have: AR9285 Wireless Network Adapter (PCI-Express) | 04:56 |
| makara | kunji, less bugs | 04:56 |
| bluebeat09 | pleasee help! | 04:56 |
| ESphynx | kunji I just like nice defaults :P | 04:56 |
| xrs | makara, open you software sources and try enableing backports and proposed updates | 04:56 |
| djdos | whats the prob | 04:56 |
| Rakko | I've been able to pinpoint its behavior a little more: one "click" of the scroll wheel scrolls a very small distance, maybe one line. A more vigorous motion of the wheel scrolls by the "normal" (to my standards) amounts. | 04:56 |
| Rakko | How do I get the initial scroll increment to not be tiny? | 04:56 |
| kunji | djdos: Did you read this one yet? https://bbs.archlinux.org/viewtopic.php?id=128668 | 04:56 |
| makara | bluebeat09, what version ubuntu? | 04:57 |
| bluebeat09 | makara: 12.10 | 04:57 |
| kunji | ESphynx: Yeah, me too, just seemed like replacing the whole environment was a bigger jump than installing a few packages. ^_^ | 04:57 |
| === ubuntu is now known as kittenmittenz | ||
| kunji | makara: Umm, do you know for sure the new one is less buggy? I just don't use it at all myself. | 04:58 |
| makara | bluebeat09, the latest usually sorts that out. Guess not in your case. Linux been struggling with wifi cards for years | 04:58 |

| bluebeat09 | makara, new linux user over here... but i figure there is something i can do to make it more stable | 04:59 |
| thoonai | kunji: http://paste.ubuntu.com/1588124/ | 05:00 |
| djdos | ii disabled it | 05:00 |
| thoonai | kittenmittenz: huh? | 05:00 |
| djdos | then it told me you hve to enable it | 05:01 |
| kittenmittenz | huh? | 05:01 |
| djdos | thats the solution | 05:01 |
| kunji | makara: Oh, you have it working, nice ^_^ | 05:02 |
| poz | man, is it ever a hassle to get tor to work on x chat | 05:04 |
| makara | bluebeat09, do you have 'pre-released updates' on? make sure you get the latest updates | 05:04 |
| thoonai | kunji: there? | 05:04 |

| kunji | thoonai: Hmm, I'm starting to wonder if ping is buggy, at least my results seem to be inconsistent with it at the moment. | 05:09 |
| UndisclosedServe | (don't mean to spam just checking to see if the irc client im using connected properly) | 05:10 |
| thoonai | kunji: that would be extremely hilarious since ping is from the 1930s | 05:10 |
| thoonai | kunji: ok its not, but I think ping was the first programm after the invention of tcp/ip | 05:11 |
| kunji | thoonai: For instance I don't get the summary when I pipe ping http://paste.ubuntu.com/1588137/ Also I'm having another weird issue: I've noticed something perplexing T.T, any thoughts on this issue would be appreciated. I can ping from my desktop to my router 0% packet loss, and from my router to google 0% packet loss, but from my desktop to google I get 10-15% packet loss. This is over > 30 pings each test and I can reproduce it on re | 05:11 |
| kunji | thoonai: I hope ping is ok though ^_^ | 05:11 |
| digitalphiltv | alrighty... I am still having fan issues...and the url from the bot's !fan command which someone tried to get me to run earlier, leads me to a blank page. I'm running k10temp sensors trying to get lm-sensors' fancontrol script to run my fan because at the moment the fan is IDLING and my laptop is running VERY HOT... any ideas out there? thanks! | 05:11 |
| thoonai | kunji: may I ask you where do you live ^^? | 05:12 |
| xrs | okay found the solution. my system was missing the package "gnome-font-viewer" | 05:12 |

| thoonai | in soviet russia packet losses you | 05:13 |
| digitalphiltv | /usr/sbin/pwmconfig: There are no pwm-capable sensor modules installed | 05:13 |
| * digitalphiltv is about ready to shoot pwmconfig | 05:13 | |
| thoonai | kunji: you shouldn't have packet loss there ^^ | 05:13 |
| kunji | xrs: Oh... that is for installing fonts? I thought it was just for viewing them... I've always just installed them on the cmd so I didn't know the answer to GUI questions about it or I would have helped :P | 05:14 |
| kunji | thoonai: I know right, especially because it's ping A -> B ok, ping B -> C ok, ping A -> C ERROR | 05:14 |

| Rakko | I find mouse scrolling in modern Ubuntu annoying: one "click" of the scroll wheel scrolls a very small distance, maybe one line. A more vigorous motion of the wheel scrolls by the "normal" (to my standards) amounts. How can I make scrolling always jump a decent (and preferably consistent) amount? | 05:17 |
| Rakko | I don't remember it being like this in 10.10 | 05:18 |

| OpheliaPandide | I need help with wifi upon installing 12.10 onto my mac 10.7 | 05:24 |
| Rakko | actually maybe it's just firefox that is lame in this regard | 05:24 |
| OpheliaPandide | I have tried a lot of different things and found none to work | 05:25 |
| OpheliaPandide | I have to use a usb | 05:25 |
| kunji | Rakko: Oh, I'm pretty sure I can find the firefox setting for that, I'm pretty sure they use their own | 05:25 |
| Rakko | of course. firefox ftw | 05:25 |
| kittenmittens | can someone tell e why my laptop and pc both die after i update them | 05:25 |
| OpheliaPandide | does anyone have any ideas as to the wifi problem?? | 05:26 |
| kunji | Rakko: Well, they have a lot of setting you can play with, type about:config in the address bar, press enter, tell them you'll be careful and search for mousewheel | 05:26 |
| kunji | *settings | 05:26 |
| kittenmittens | opheliapandide, have you looked in aditional drivers to see if theres a wifi driver to activate | 05:26 |
| Rakko | kunji: ok. I turned off "smooth scrolling" and that helped! | 05:26 |
| kunji | Rakko: nice ^_^ | 05:27 |
| Rakko | but the Mac trackpad support is still laggy-feeling. oh well | 05:27 |
| Rakko | I'm hopefully gonna ditch this laptop soon | 05:27 |
| OpheliaPandide | I looked in software sources --> additional drivers | 05:27 |
| kittenmittens | anyone??? | 05:27 |
| IveBeenBit | I am trying to learn the concepts behind mounting and unmounting. I go to the launcher and type "disks" which is an app that lets you see the drives attached to the system. It says my flashdrive mount point is /mnt/usb-SanDisk_Cruiser... is the mount point. Why is /mnt empty though when I ls -l /mnt? | 05:27 |
| OpheliaPandide | but no driver | 05:27 |
| kittenmittens | agh | 05:28 |
| kittenmittens | i need a ubuntu genious | 05:28 |
| kittenmittens | or a ubuntu doctor | 05:28 |
| Rakko | i.e. I have to move my two fingers almost halfway across the trackpad before scrolling even starts. makes everything feel very slow | 05:28 |
| Rakko | kittenmittens: "die"? | 05:28 |
| kittenmittens | well on my laptop i get filesyst em is readonly, and on pc it freezes at the startup | 05:29 |

| kunji | IveBeenBit: Umm... never heard of this disks command. I think it might be looking at cached default mount points done by the automounting? I think what you should read on is the mount command, umount, the mtab file, and the fstab file. | 05:29 |
| Rakko | kittenmittens: ouch. have you asked on askubuntu or a mailing list? | 05:31 |
| kittenmittens | no | 05:31 |
| kunji | IveBeenBit: Also for getting general info about your disks read about fdisk, parted, and blkid, also maybe hdparm | 05:31 |
| IveBeenBit | kunji, "Disks" is a graphical app that came with Ubuntu 12.10 check it out. It reminds me of gparted. Also, thanks for the tips. | 05:31 |
| kittenmittens | ive been trying to get it to work on both for over a week | 05:31 |
| kittenmittens | dove every possible harware test, windows works flawlessly, not ubuntu | 05:31 |
| IveBeenBit | kunji, that's too much info for me right now as I'm still too noobish. I will be happy when I can mount and unmount USBs and IMG files from the terminal. :-) | 05:32 |
| kunji | IveBeenBit: Hmm, do you know the package name? I don't have a package called disks. Maybe udisks, or gnome-disk-utility? | 05:34 |
| kittenmittens | so am i doomed to windows? | 05:34 |
| kunji | IveBeenBit: mount is the one you want for mount the USBs, and umount to unmount them. IMG files I forget the command for, it involves a loopback device gimme a sec to look it up. | 05:34 |
| IveBeenBit | kunji, This is the homepage from the "about" menu. I think it is just called "disks." https://live.gnome.org/Design/Apps/Disks | 05:35 |
| kunji | IveBeenBit: Ah, both the packages I mentioned seem to be what it is (read the part under Status) | 05:35 |
| kunji | IveBeenBit: http://www.tech-recipes.com/rx/2747/ubuntu_how_to_mount_unmount_iso_files/ Hmm, I think it's pretty much the same process for .img as well | 05:37 |

| antonio_ | nothing | 05:42 |
| antonio_ | it doesn't do anything | 05:42 |
| kunji | kittenmittens: It's because no one here at the moment knows the answer and you've been spamming a bit. Typically you should just ask your question and then be patient because if someone knows they will help. If your question is long or you have lots of supporting data (logs, screenshots, etc..) you should pastebin them and post the link with your question. You should probably not ask the question again for at least 15 minutes, otherwise | 05:42 |
| ubuntuuser | sockswithsandals: the tux logo was part of the free kernel settings. so suppose you'll have to recompile the kernel unless that has changed lately. | 05:42 |

| gh403 | Grub2 recommends that it not be installed to a partition's boot sector. Yet Ubuntu seems to do this if you ask it, during the installation. Is this an issue in practice? | 05:43 |

| dr_willis | gh403: some people want to chainload grub | 05:43 |

| gh403 | Yeah, I want to, dr_willis. But Grub doesn't like that. See the blue box in https://wiki.archlinux.org/index.php/GRUB2#Install_to_Partition_or_Partitionless_Disk | 05:45 |

| Rabblerouser | I just messed up my Wubi install. :S | 05:47 |
| ubuntuuser | antonio_: is this a livecd or a properly installed system? system program problem sounds a little serious. | 05:48 |
| Rabblerouser | Was trying to get graphics drivers on, but.. erm... when I restarted, I had no.. no Unity. No bar at the top when logging in, no sidebar. Just a wallpaper. | 05:48 |
| dr_willis | Rabblerouser: what video card? | 05:49 |
| antonio_ | ubuntuuser: its installed | 05:49 |
| Rabblerouser | I rightclicked to go to appearance settings, then backed out to see it wasn't running under "Unknown" but "VESA RV(something)" | 05:49 |
| Rabblerouser | ATI Radeon HD 4670 | 05:49 |
| dr_willis | and how did you install the drivers Rabblerouser ? | 05:50 |
| antonio_ | brb | 05:50 |
| Rabblerouser | Well, I kinda.. forgot there were updates in the background, so I went to looking for guidance online (sorta newbie) The tries in Terminal were blocked because apparently something else was looking at the process? | 05:51 |
| Rabblerouser | I'll just reinstall the Wubi thing | 05:51 |
| Rabblerouser | At least I think they USED to call it Wubi. | 05:52 |
| dr_willis | better to avoid wubi | 05:52 |
| Rabblerouser | How so, dr_willis? | 05:52 |
| dr_willis | its fragile, flakey, crashy, and slower then a full install | 05:52 |
| antonio_ | ubuntu 12.10 is starting to get very annoying | 05:53 |
| Rabblerouser | I did notice it was incredibly slower than the LiveUSB.. I chocked that up to not having a proper graphics driver installed yet | 05:53 |

| dr_willis | most people use the xswat ppa's for updateing X stuff. | 06:16 |
| dr_willis | ive never heard of anyone in here mention 01.org | 06:16 |
| === Guest4328 is now known as atom1sk | ||
| scary_one | its intel linux site | 06:17 |
| kunji | dr_willis: Isn't all the stuff on their site already in Ubuntu? Why repackage it.. weird. | 06:18 |
| dr_willis | xswat has newer updates not in the official repos | 06:19 |
| dr_willis | no idea what 01.org is doing ;) | 06:19 |
| dr_willis | unless its where the xswat guys get the updated patches and code from | 06:19 |
| neodragon | OK so I am updating my daughters edubuntu 12.04 laptop and the first thing I noticed was it kept hanging when it got to updating initramfs, no errors, it just hung there. I eventually just killed the updater and tried running 'sudo update-initramfs -vvv -u' in a terminal and it keeps hanging again once it gets to 'Adding module /lib/modules/3.2.0-36-generic-pae/kernel/drivers/net/ethernet/hp/hp100.ko' I have found nothing online so | 06:19 |
| kunji | scary_one: I think when they referred you here they meant for you to use the versions in the Ubuntu repos, my best guess is that they package it like that for people that are using distros without their own facilities. | 06:20 |
| scary_one | any ideas how to fix it? | 06:23 |
| juliano_ | join// | 06:23 |
| Ben64 | scary_one: undo whatever you did | 06:23 |
| Rabblerouser | What is "mint" btw? | 06:24 |
| Ben64 | !mint | Rabblerouser | 06:24 |
| ubottu | Rabblerouser: Linux Mint is not a supported derivative of Ubuntu. Please seek support in #linuxmint-help on irc.spotchat.org | 06:24 |
| Ben64 | Rabblerouser: ok thats not really descriptive. its based on ubuntu but uses a different DE and other stuff | 06:24 |
| Rabblerouser | Domo arigato, Mr. ubottu | 06:24 |
| scary_one | i think it will be easier and quikcer to reinstall | 06:24 |
| Ben64 | scary_one: could be | 06:24 |
| scary_one | :) | 06:24 |
| kunji | scary_one: Could be if you just installed. Maybe just removing the package an installing from the Ubuntu repos would work. | 06:25 |
| kunji | *and | 06:25 |
| neodragon | can anyone help me with a initramfs update that just hangs, no errors, nothing, it just hangs and never completes and now after I killed that process it won't let me use synaptic or apt-get either, it says another process is running | 06:27 |
| kunji | That 01.org logo looks a lot like the nepomuk one. They seem legit except that the intel logo is nowhere to be found, there is a copyright notice at the bottom of the page. Maybe their lack of branding is supposed to make them seem more open source friendly... or to distance the rest of the company from it, who knows... | 06:29 |
| kittenmittens | is it possible that ubuntu 13.04 will run better on my pc than 12.10, im aving alot of issues with 12.10 | 06:30 |
| xrs | your welcome to try out the latest builds and proposed updates | 06:36 |
| vvoid | I went through a crypto nightmare, but I could restore my data thanks to all of your good work. Thanks. Btw: never let your ecryptfs mounts run out of space | 06:37 |
| xrs | or try out an older version that is still supported | 06:37 |
| xrs | thanks vvoid | 06:37 |
| vvoid | I used to be more one of the rtfm guys, but there are times when one is in need of good community work | 06:38 |
| neodragon | ok so even though I see multiple posts online about ubuntu 12.04 hanging in the middle of updating initramfs, no one in here either has any idea about how to fix it or cares to help is that it? | 06:40 |
| TheLordOfTime | neodragon, or nobody's around who can help. | 06:42 |
| Ububegin | W: Failed to fetch http://sg.archive.ubuntu.com/ubuntu/dists/maverick-updates/main/binary-amd64/Packages.gz 404 Not Found .... Which repository shld i change to now ? | 06:42 |
| TheLordOfTime | neodragon, at least in here, that could be the case. | 06:42 |
| TheLordOfTime | neodragon, hangs are hard to debug - so if there's "no solution" you need patience | 06:43 |
| TheLordOfTime | !10.10 | Ububegin | 06:43 |
| ubottu | Ububegin: Ubuntu 10.10 (Maverick Meerkat) was the thirteenth release of Ubuntu. !End-Of-Life on April 10th, 2012, see http://ubottu.com/y/maverick for details. | 06:43 |
| TheLordOfTime | Ububegin, solution is to upgrade to a supported release (at least 11.10) | 06:43 |
| TheLordOfTime | (although i suggest 12.04 since 11.10 EOLs in april) | 06:43 |
| Ububegin | TheLordOfTime: This is a legacy machine... Isnt there any archives to still cont'd apt-get -ing | 06:44 |
| TheLordOfTime | Ububegin, not with 10.10. | 06:45 |
| TheLordOfTime | !eol | Ububegin | 06:45 |
| ubottu | Ububegin: End-Of-Life is the time when security updates and support for an Ubuntu release stop, see https://wiki.ubuntu.com/Releases for more information. Looking to upgrade from an EOL release? See https://help.ubuntu.com/community/EOLUpgrades | 06:45 |
| xrs | neodragon, have you tried turning on verbose=yes in /etc/default/rcS and logging the startup? | 06:45 |
| TheLordOfTime | Ububegin, you can try using old-releases.ubuntu.com/ubuntu instead in your apt repos/mirrors | 06:45 |
| TheLordOfTime | but those aren't supported, keep that in mind | 06:46 |
| TheLordOfTime | since 10.10's EOL it gets *no* security updates and *no* other updates | 06:46 |
| neodragon | xrs: its not the startup/boot that is the problem, it boots just fine, it is the updating of initramfs that hangs and it keeps hanging on '/lib/modules/3.2.0-36-generic-pae/kernel/drivers/net/ethernet/hp/hp100.ko' for some reason, but it gives no errors | 06:46 |
| lud | i need help on ARM image | 06:47 |
| neodragon | xrs: or rather it hangs when it gets to adding that module during the update | 06:48 |
| scaris | hm | 06:48 |
| scaris | changed my default display manager to gdm | 06:48 |

| lud | i want to install ubuntu ARM image to an m960 android tablet | 06:50 |
| xrs | neodragon, first thing i would try is removing that package, updateing, then put it back on | 06:55 |
| xrs | driver* | 06:55 |
| xrs | aww i found an answer for him but he left | 07:00 |
| kittenmittens | i need answers | 07:01 |
| xrs | to what? im sorry all i see is your question about 13.04 | 07:02 |
| kittenmittens | dont worry :) nobodys been able to help me all week | 07:02 |
| xrs | to that i say you are free to roll back to an older version of ubuntu, or try out the latest builds and proposed updates | 07:03 |
| kittenmittens | ive tryed 12.04 12.10 and im about to try 13.04 | 07:03 |
| Ben64 | kittenmittens: give more info. just saying "i need help" or "it doesn't work" does not help | 07:04 |
| red82 | xrs: you were just too slow for neodragon | 07:04 |
| red82 | shame really | 07:04 |
| kittenmittens | well i dont know whats wrong, after installing i update and everything breaks every time, its always differnt, ether my filesystem goes read only and nobody can fix that for a week, or like now it just wont boot | 07:06 |
| xrs | lol i know who you are | 07:06 |
| xrs | what filesystem are you using? | 07:06 |
| kittenmittens | its not my hardware, redownloaded ubuntu countless times, checked md5 every time, tryed cd and usb, and having the same issues on 2 comouters | 07:07 |
| kittenmittens | me? ive tryed both ext3 and 4 | 07:07 |
| kittenmittens | no difference | 07:07 |
| xrs | how long does the clean install take? | 07:08 |
| kittenmittens | like 10 minutes? | 07:08 |
| xrs | hmm | 07:08 |
| xrs | if it was a USB issue it would take a lot longer than that. | 07:08 |
| kittenmittens | all my hardware is fine | 07:08 |
| kittenmittens | ive checked literally 50 billion times now, everyone keeps blaming my hardware or the iso | 07:09 |
| xrs | well i had similar problems and my problem was the thumbdrives. i had to buy new ones | 07:09 |
| kittenmittens | i tryed cd too | 07:09 |
| kittenmittens | and 2 thumb drives | 07:09 |
| kittenmittens | nothing is broke n | 07:09 |
| xrs | next the problems i was having had to do with udisks. it didnt have proper support for ext2 | 07:09 |
| kepler | install it in a VM on the computer you're on now, if you do everything the same and it works, then it is hardware | 07:09 |
| kittenmittens | its not the hardware | 07:10 |
| kepler | well millions of other people are using the same ISOs, so it isn't ubuntu | 07:10 |
| kepler | it may not be faulty hardware, it may just be unsupported hardware | 07:10 |
| xrs | kittenmittens, its a good idea. when troubleshooting computers you gotta tinker and rule out all possibilities, find out what works (and i dont mean just hardware) and what doesnt | 07:10 |
| kittenmittens | mhmm.. my brand new computer that has a readout screen of every tiny issue that could possibly happen, on the motherboard hasnt found anything | 07:11 |
| kittenmittens | ive doe checks and tests people ahve told me to do for days | 07:11 |
| xrs | so currently it is not booting, can you see anything on the screen? | 07:11 |
| kittenmittens | ive ruled out hardware | 07:11 |
| xrs | can you watch the startup process? | 07:11 |
| kepler | what computer is it? do other operating systems work? | 07:11 |
| kittenmittens | it goes purple and we tryed a differnt kernal and it gets stuck at initializing ramdisks? or something | 07:12 |
| kittenmittens | windows works flawlessly | 07:12 |
| kepler | do you have a link to the hardware in it? | 07:12 |
| kittenmittens | its an 8core amd 3+ at 3.5 ghz, on an asus crosshair vformula z motherboard, with 16 gigs of ddr3 1866mhz ram at 10 - 10 - 10 -24 clocks, on 2 sticks. i have a 250 gb vortex 4 sata 3 ssd | 07:13 |

| kepler | ok, in bios do you have the hd stuff set to ahci, ide passthrough, anything? | 07:14 |

| JustinW | ubuntu linux. | 07:18 |
| kepler | what other options are there for the ahci? | 07:18 |
| xrs | yeah that page i gave you has some useful info | 07:18 |
| kittenmittens | ide and raid | 07:19 |
| kepler | throw it on ide and see how it goes | 07:19 |
| kittenmittens | wont that make it slower | 07:20 |

| kittenmittens | i can get grub if i spam shift like a maniake sometimes | 07:21 |
| xrs | are you running from a live USB, if you were to save a file to it would it still be there next time you booted? why cant you look at that page | 07:22 |
| kittenmittens | and i never see post | 07:22 |
| Sara | hey, I m using dualboot win 7 ubuntu 12.04. needed to reinstall win 7. used bootrepair recomended option and now my win is working but grub is not | 07:22 |
| Sara | I don't see any option to log in ubuntu | 07:22 |
| kepler | and you get through the entire install successfully, and it asks you to reboot, then does this? | 07:22 |
| Ben64 | !grub | Sara | 07:22 |

| kittenmittens | no, it works fine and lovingly | 07:23 |
| Sara | thanks ben | 07:23 |
| kittenmittens | untill i update, or install graphics drivers, or sometimes randomly after a restart | 07:23 |
| kepler | ok, so when you update, are you using the provided opensource drivers, or proprietary? | 07:24 |
| Sara | but it is just saying to use boot repair | 07:24 |
| Sara | I already used bootrepair | 07:24 |
| greek | Hi how do I check whether my system is 32 or 64 bit? Thanks. | 07:24 |
| kittenmittens | tryed both | 07:24 |
| Sara | my win is working | 07:24 |
| kepler | greek, uname -a | 07:24 |
| greek | kepler thanks | 07:24 |
| kepler | kittenmittens, then it is something else. try doing only software updates, without drivers. see if those work | 07:25 |
| kittenmittens | kelper is a space teliscoe that found alot of planets | 07:25 |
| kepler | is that machine on right now? if you hit ctrl+alt+f3, does it go to a console? | 07:25 |
| kittenmittens | ok.. on 12.10 or 13.04? | 07:25 |
| kittenmittens | no its completly frozen | 07:26 |
| kepler | numlock doesn't go off and on if you hit it? | 07:26 |
| kittenmittens | no | 07:26 |
| kittenmittens | so want me to install 13.04 or 12.10? | 07:27 |
| kepler | well, you're right, does't seem like hardware. | 07:27 |
| Ben64 | why not 12.04? | 07:27 |
| kepler | id go with 12.10 | 07:27 |

| genoobie | questions about video here | 07:29 |
| genoobie | I have a crappy video card | 07:30 |
| genoobie | an lubuntu install that doesn't quite work and an xubuntu live that gives me video | 07:30 |
| genoobie | here's the thing | 07:30 |
| FloodBot1 | genoobie: Please don't flood; use http://paste.ubuntu.com to paste; don't use Enter as punctuation. | 07:30 |
| kittenmittens | whats the oem installl do | 07:31 |
| xrs | its for OEMs who have their own configs and answer files | 07:31 |
| genoobie | I was hoping to use the video information from the live CD to somehow help lubuntu get started. When I boot lubuntu, the splash screen is OK, but the screen for lightdm looks goofed. When I go the the xubuntu livecd, there's obviously no dm | 07:32 |
| JustinW | is this IRC for ubuntu server (ubuntu linux on servers)? | 07:32 |
| JustinW | or mainly the os lol | 07:32 |
| Ben64 | ubuntu support | 07:32 |
| xrs | #ubuntu-server | 07:32 |
| genoobie | so the wm/de screen is just fine. any tips on how to get the lubuntu jumpstarted? I was going to try and bypass the dm, with an ~/.xinitrc | 07:33 |
| genoobie | but I don't have rw access to the drive or the permissions are funny... | 07:33 |
| tahitipetey | Ben64 & kepler: Ah, right, since IPv6 addresses are global, what's on ifconfig would be the global address! Jeez, why didn't I realize that earlier, hah. | 07:33 |
| genoobie | any suggestions? | 07:33 |
| Ben64 | tahitipetey: not exactly, but since its a server there isn't going to be an internal address/nat stuff going on | 07:34 |
| Ben64 | genoobie: when you're installing it should ask you about logging in automatically | 07:34 |
| p4 | #jogja | 07:34 |
| tahitipetey | Ben64: EC2 servers *are* behind NAT. It's IPv4 address on ifconfig is not the global address. | 07:34 |
| genoobie | ben64, no, sadly it didn't | 07:34 |
| kepler | the ipv6 should be global | 07:34 |
| Ben64 | tahitipetey: really? weird | 07:34 |
| kepler | unless you have an fe80:: or something | 07:34 |
| genoobie | my guess is that will fix the problem | 07:35 |
| genoobie | but I'm not sure how to make that happen | 07:35 |

| kittenmittens | really? | 07:45 |

| genoobie | any way to change that from cli? | 07:50 |
| anan_ | Ben64: only pwd doesn't return anything anymore :P | 07:51 |
| genoobie | the splash screens look great | 07:52 |
| Sara | my grub location and grub options are gray (not available) | 07:52 |
| genoobie | the only thing that I can think is that the installer was a text installer | 07:52 |
| thechef | Is nvidia-current-updates in 12.04 not pointing to 310, because 1) it never will in 12.04, 2) nvidia doesn't declare 310 as stable-enough for LTS systems 3) still in testing 4) because 304 is still supported and for >304 version to appear in LTS 304 must first come to EOL 5) other? | 07:53 |
| kittenmittens | thechef, is this who wants to be a millionair? | 07:55 |
| woo | exit | 07:55 |
| woo | sry* :p | 07:55 |
| woo | laters | 07:55 |
| kittenmittens | compiz crashed while its installing the updates | 07:55 |
| thechef | kittenmittens: almost - but if you win doesn't depend on if you're correct - If I don't like the answer you're out :-) | 07:56 |

| kepler | kittenmittens, can you disable it? | 07:59 |
| kepler | did it say why it was crashing? | 07:59 |
| kittenmittens | yeah | 08:00 |
| Ben64 | kittenmittens: sounds like you have a .... hardware problem | 08:00 |
| kittenmittens | because its doing software rendering reather than hardware rendering | 08:00 |
| juniour | hi guys how to format write procted usb drives or sd card | 08:00 |
| juniour | plz help | 08:00 |
| kittenmittens | thats what it says | 08:00 |
| kepler | go into settings and change it from xrandr or whatever to the other option | 08:00 |
| Ben64 | kittenmittens: then start up in Ubuntu 2D | 08:00 |
| aeon-ltd | juniour: if there's a hardware tab switch it to writable first... | 08:00 |
| xrs | alumno20, try #ubuntu-es | 08:00 |
| linocisco | is there any Nagio like free software for infrastructure monitoring? | 08:01 |
| kittenmittens | mmh | 08:01 |
| kittenmittens | what are the best amd drivers | 08:01 |
| juniour | aeon-ltd explain plz | 08:01 |
| juniour | wt hard ware tab its sd card | 08:01 |
| helmut_ | hi | 08:01 |
| aeon-ltd | juniour: sometimes they have a tab that switches it from writable to read only | 08:02 |
| xrs | some SD cards have a lock. an actual lock you can slide | 08:02 |
| xrs | like the old floppy disks | 08:02 |
| juniour | no nothing like that | 08:02 |
| Ben64 | almost every sd card has one | 08:02 |
| juniour | it a micro sd card of 2gb | 08:02 |
| kepler | kittenmittens, try sudo apt-get install fglrx | 08:02 |
| kepler | that is what i use for my workstation | 08:02 |
| juniour | it write procted | 08:02 |
| juniour | how will i remove | 08:03 |
| linocisco | is there any Nagio like free software for infrastructure monitoring? | 08:03 |
| juniour | or formate the sd card | 08:03 |
| Ben64 | !repeat | linocisco | 08:03 |
| ubottu | linocisco: Don't feel ignored and repeat your question quickly; if nobody knows your answer, nobody will answer you. While you wait, try searching https://help.ubuntu.com or http://ubuntuforums.org or http://askubuntu.com/ | 08:03 |
| basso | hello, my laptop has 20gb of ram, how can i make the system use more for my benefit? | 08:03 |
| juniour | aeon-ltd any idea | 08:03 |
| basso | i have disabled swap | 08:03 |
| juniour | basso use 64 bit machine | 08:03 |
| kepler | basso, http://www.linuxatemyram.com/ | 08:03 |
| aeon-ltd | basso: swappiness=0 | 08:03 |
| Ben64 | juniour: really you should check the card for a switch. especially if you have it in an adapter | 08:04 |
| aeon-ltd | !swappiness | 08:04 |
| kittenmittens | it says invalid operation fglrx | 08:04 |
| aeon-ltd | basso: https://help.ubuntu.com/community/SwapFaq#What_is_swappiness_and_how_do_I_change_it.3F | 08:04 |
| xrs | basso, check out tip #10 http://www.upubuntu.com/2012/06/11-tips-to-speed-up-computers-running.html | 08:05 |
| kepler | sudo apt-get install fglrx ?? | 08:05 |
| kepler | did you get install in there | 08:05 |
| xrs | he has no swap. changing the swappiness isnt going to do anything | 08:05 |
| kittenmittens | ah that worked | 08:05 |
| juniour | hee thanks all i got it :) | 08:05 |
| xrs | instead i directed him to move the /tmp dir to RAM | 08:06 |
| basso | aeon-ltd: but I don't have a swap partion on my computer | 08:06 |
| juniour | basso use 64 bit operating system | 08:06 |
| aeon-ltd | i've no experience with them, but would a ramdisk be worth the effort | 08:06 |
| aeon-ltd | ? | 08:06 |
| xrs | yes | 08:06 |
| linocisco | ok | 08:06 |
| basso | juniour: i am using a 64bit operatingsystem :) | 08:06 |
| basso | thinkpad master race | 08:06 |
| Ben64 | i have /tmp on ram, and i only have 8GB | 08:06 |
| Sara | ben64 what does it mean: root@ubuntu:/home/ubuntu# mount /dev/sda4/ mnt mount: mount point mnt does not exist | 08:06 |
| Ben64 | Sara: what are you doing?! | 08:06 |
| kingbeast | linocisco: pm!! | 08:06 |
| aeon-ltd | Sara: that's not the right syntax | 08:07 |
| Ben64 | Sara: i've given you this link 4 times now, this is much easier than anything you're trying to do. https://help.ubuntu.com/community/Boot-Repair | 08:07 |
| juniour | basso then you will be able to use most of the ram, except some of it will be restricted for hardware | 08:07 |
| Sara | I installed win 7 and i used recommended option in bootrepair win came back not ubuntu | 08:07 |
| Sara | the rest is according http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=sxZRjjPjic8 | 08:08 |

| Sara | Ok i didnot understand that . he gave me boot repair link | 08:09 |
| basso | there, i have moved /tmp to ram | 08:09 |
| Sara | and grub location and grub options are gray | 08:09 |
| Ben64 | basso: you could also move firefox cache to /tmp | 08:09 |
| kepler | Hanmac_, try " sudo /etc/init.d/nscd restart " | 08:09 |
| xrs | sara copy and paste this into the terminal window: sudo add-apt-repository ppa:yannubuntu/boot-repair && sudo apt-get update && sudo apt-get install -y boot-repair && boot-repair | 08:10 |
| kittenmittens | ok that instaled and im rebooting now | 08:10 |

| adamshumpisxxx | Anyone online who's knowledgeable with MATE? | 08:12 |
| Sara | xrs whats next please | 08:12 |
| kittenmittens | i can right click and changed desktop background adn get back to settingd from there.. | 08:12 |
| Ben64 | adamshumpisxxx: we don't support mate here | 08:12 |
| xrs | im installing boot repair so i can walk you through it. be warned my system is probably the slowest in this room | 08:12 |
| adamshumpisxxx | Well, it's MATE on Ubuntu 12.10 Netboot. Does that make a difference? | 08:12 |
| genoobie | okay Ben64 | 08:12 |
| Ben64 | adamshumpisxxx: nope, sorry | 08:13 |
| genoobie | so I changed those lines in lightdm.conf | 08:13 |
| genoobie | no change | 08:13 |
| kepler | kittenmittens, hit atl+f2 and amdcccle | 08:13 |
| kepler | or if you can open a terminale | 08:13 |
| genoobie | this sucks. | 08:13 |
| Hanmac_ | kepler the first one does not exist on my system, the second one does, but it seems that it does not have any afffect ... moment i restart firefox | 08:13 |
| adamshumpisxxx | Would anyone be able to point me to an IRC server / channel that will help me? | 08:13 |
| kepler | sudo amdcccle | 08:13 |
| kittenmittens | ? | 08:13 |
| genoobie | I'm downloading the lubuntu desktop install | 08:13 |
| kittenmittens | ctrl alt t? | 08:13 |
| genoobie | maybe that will fix the problem | 08:13 |
| Sara | xrs- you there? | 08:14 |
| kepler | Hanmac_, not sure then. you're using the dns name and not the IP? | 08:14 |
| linocisco | I want network monitoring tool like PRTG but should be free of charge and full version | 08:14 |
| xrs | sara: im installing boot repair so i can walk you through it. be warned my system is probably the slowest in this room | 08:14 |
| kepler | kittenmittens, whatever opens it. im on kubuntu, so i dont know the gnome/unity shortcuts | 08:14 |
| Sara | ok thanks xrs | 08:14 |
| kittenmittens | a whole bunch of error:bad request messages in therminal | 08:15 |
| shortstraw8_ | Sara, What steps did you do? | 08:15 |
| kittenmittens | then the amd catalyst ppopped up | 08:15 |
| Sara | just installed bootrepair | 08:15 |
| Sara | now waiting for the rest | 08:15 |
| kepler | do you have multiple monitors? | 08:15 |
| aeon-ltd | adamshumpisxxx mate is default on mint right? | 08:15 |
| Ben64 | Sara: click "recommended repair" | 08:15 |
| aeon-ltd | adamshumpisxxx: ask there, but don't mention you're running ubuntu | 08:16 |
| adamshumpisxxx | I'm not sure. I don't run Mint or have ever been interested in it. | 08:16 |
| adamshumpisxxx | Ah, OK. Thanks. Would you be able to link me? | 08:16 |
| shortstraw8_ | Sara, If you follow the rest of the steps on the ubuntu help it works fine. | 08:16 |
| aeon-ltd | ##mint | 08:16 |
| aeon-ltd | wait thats wrong | 08:16 |
| Sara | I have done that it recovered my win 7. you sure i need to use that again? | 08:16 |
| kittenmittens | what do i do now | 08:16 |
| kepler | kittenmittens, do you have multiple monitors? | 08:16 |
| adamshumpisxxx | Thanks aeon-ltd. | 08:17 |
| aeon-ltd | adamshumpisxxx: #linuxmint | 08:17 |
| Sara | I really don't like to remove my win again | 08:17 |
| adamshumpisxxx | Thanks...leaving now to ask. | 08:17 |
| xrs | you re-installed widows? are you sure win7 didnt erase your ubuntu? | 08:18 |
| kittenmittens | no it thought i had no monitors so i changed that now im rebooting | 08:18 |
| kepler | that's weird | 08:18 |
| Sara | I recovered mbr but not grub now I cannot install grub | 08:18 |
| kittenmittens | nope.. blank again | 08:19 |
| Ben64 | Sara: Click "Recommended Repair" and do whatever it says | 08:19 |
| kepler | can you right click like last time? | 08:19 |
| Super_Dog | hey peeps. just had a running out of disk space error. couldn't figure out. unmounted big server mount in fstab and all is well now. could it be there are so many file on the mount that it is indexing them or something on my local disk....? | 08:19 |
| kittenmittens | ya]\ | 08:19 |
| kepler | pop open that amdcccle again | 08:19 |
| Ben64 | kittenmittens: do you like unity? | 08:19 |
| kittenmittens | ya | 08:20 |
| xrs | your hardware may be good, but are you sure its compatible? | 08:20 |
| kepler | im not sure what it is doing, but unity doesn't like it. | 08:20 |
| Ben64 | kittenmittens: because you could use Unity 2D in 12.04 | 08:20 |
| kittenmittens | mmh | 08:20 |
| Ben64 | 12.10 got rid of the 2D version | 08:20 |
| bencc | can I install debian packages on ubuntu? which debian version to use for which ubuntu version? | 08:21 |
| Super_Dog | Vmware gave me a warning about trying to upgrade 12.04 to the 12.10 in my VM... | 08:21 |
| kittenmittens | it ndid my settings | 08:21 |
| kittenmittens | it wont save my option to have a monitor.. | 08:21 |
| kepler | did you do sudo amdcccle ? | 08:22 |
| Super_Dog | *.deb files - double click and let software center or gdebi install... | 08:22 |
| xrs | ubuntu is debian, just tweaked. you can install .deb files with ubuntu software center | 08:22 |
| Aladeen | hello | 08:22 |
| kepler | i do sudo -i, too used to being root. forget to sudo all the time | 08:22 |
| Ben64 | xrs, bencc: that is very much not recommended | 08:22 |
| xrs | k. i've personally never had a problem EVER | 08:23 |
| bencc | Ben64: here it says that I can use the debian selinux packages https://wiki.ubuntu.com/SELinux | 08:23 |
| xrs | but thats just me | 08:23 |
| kittenmittens | now what | 08:23 |
| Ben64 | its not good to packages for different distros | 08:23 |
| kepler | hit display manager | 08:23 |
| xrs | aww then whats alien for? :P | 08:23 |
| kepler | what is your resolution and desktop area? | 08:23 |
| kittenmittens | sudo amdcccle again? | 08:23 |
| kepler | yeah | 08:23 |
| kepler | it should be in there | 08:23 |
| kittenmittens | 1920 1080 | 08:23 |
| Super_Dog | Anybody here using their ubuntu in VMware 9.X? | 08:24 |
| kepler | if you put your mouse on the left side to pull up the unity bar or whatever, does it just not show up? | 08:24 |
| kittenmittens | no | 08:25 |
| kittenmittens | it wont save my settings | 08:25 |
| kittenmittens | getting lots of errors in the terminal from amdcccle | 08:25 |
| kepler | can you use paste.ubuntu.com and throw some in there? | 08:26 |
| Aladeen | someone have information about AladeeNUX ? | 08:27 |
| kittenmittens | pastebin.com/u3UBC6JV | 08:28 |
| kunji | kittenmittens: I have no idea if it is related or not, but isn't amdccle graphical, so you should be using gksudo not sudo. | 08:28 |
| xrs | i havent gotten amd drivers working since 12.10 | 08:29 |
| kepler | i dont think those are critical. just x whining | 08:29 |
| kepler | kittenmittens, on 12.10, right? | 08:30 |
| kittenmittens | ye)ah | 08:30 |
| kittenmittens | no errors this time | 08:30 |
| kepler | what is the output of fglrxinfo ? | 08:30 |
| === daniel is now known as Guest48356 | ||
| chamoda | test | 08:31 |
| kepler | passed | 08:31 |
| kittenmittens | pastebin.com/s01pfVyn <this is what happened after i saved my settings though | 08:31 |
| kepler | well at least it was a little considerate: [xcb] Aborting, sorry about that. | 08:32 |
| kunji | kepler: just curious, what's the expected output for that on a good system (i.e. things working normally)? I get this: http://paste.ubuntu.com/1589050/ | 08:32 |
| kepler | that looks like mine | 08:32 |
| === Kitar|st_ is now known as Kitar|st | ||
| kepler | i imagine if it doesn't work, it won't have display info/driver info there | 08:33 |
| kittenmittens | pastebin.com/bprTsBjN | 08:33 |
| kittenmittens | brb dinner | 08:33 |
| kepler | like that ^^ | 08:33 |
| kunji | kepler: Hmm, well, I guess that's good then, I think my system is working fine. | 08:34 |
| litropy | So, I have a spare box. It's not great - it's got a 1.2 gHz processor. I already have a server. Already have a gaming comp (wouldn't be good for it anyway). I'm looking for ideas as to what to do with it. | 08:34 |
| kunji | litropy: super powered router? | 08:34 |
| kepler | haha, i think mine is too. hasn't done anything i didn't want it to yet. | 08:34 |
| kepler | litropy, www.pfsense.org | 08:34 |
| xrs | ^^ | 08:35 |
| xrs | whatever happened to smoothwall? | 08:35 |
| kunji | kepler: Mine does seem a little slow, but I am running 3 monitors on an A10.. so I think that would be expected. | 08:35 |
| xrs | sorry rong room | 08:35 |
| litropy | kunji, what would it run? you're talking about using the wifi card? What advantages would it provide over my DIR-655? | 08:35 |
| kunji | litropy: No idea, I'm not familiar with a DIR-655 :P | 08:36 |
| litropy | kunji, it's jsut a nice home router https://www.google.com/url?sa=t&rct=j&q=&esrc=s&source=web&cd=1&cad=rja&ved=0CDUQFjAA&url=http%3A%2F%2Fwww.dlink.com%2Fproducts%2F%3Fpid%3D530&ei=hdsIUezYLubl0gHZxYG4Aw&usg=AFQjCNGBp5FopgPMO8an6BOHVAVEVEN51A&sig2=dKpqwMoIeemRW-2Qc201QA&bvm=bv.41642243,d.dmQ | 08:36 |
| litropy | whoops | 08:36 |
| litropy | http://www.dlink.com/us/en/home-solutions/connect/routers/dir-655-wireless-n-gigabit-router | 08:36 |
| litropy | kepler, seems like you have the same idea as kunji | 08:37 |
| xrs | you would get better control over the firewall and its policies, and reduce network traffix by using it as a proxy | 08:37 |
| xrs | you could also turn that box into a snort based intrusion detection system | 08:37 |
| kepler | litropy, i picked up http://goo.gl/DXJnB and run pfsense on it, disabled dhcp on my wireless router to make it an AP | 08:38 |
| kunji | litropy: Yeah, he was linking one way to do it. Hmm, your own VPN would be one extra at least. | 08:38 |
| xrs | if you have a lot of computers, you could turn it into a proxy / update server | 08:38 |
| kepler | litropy, advantage = more fun/learn? | 08:38 |
| kepler | i do have ipsec setup, so i vpn in from my phone and have full access to my network | 08:38 |
| kunji | kepler: That looks like a nice little system, yeah, it's nice being able to access my UPnP server from anywhere ^_^ | 08:39 |
| kepler | small, quiet, and more than enough to serve me internet for the next 10 years or whatever | 08:40 |
| litropy | xrs, there's nothing wrond with running pfsense alongside snort on the same box, right? | 08:40 |
| kunji | Unfortunately I don't have the bandwidth up to stream my 1080p video though. | 08:40 |
| kepler | unless google fiber comes to me and they go over 1gbps, that'll hold me over | 08:40 |
| zayantay | hey guys | 08:40 |
| kunji | litropy: Yeah, that's fine | 08:40 |
| kepler | litropy, you can install snort as a package in pfsense | 08:40 |
| zayantay | helloo? | 08:41 |
| xrs | i've never done it but it would be better to have them seperated. checks and balences n whatnot | 08:41 |
| hillary_ | I install eclipse via ubuntu software center but when i start i get " An error has occurred. See the log file | 08:41 |
| hillary_ | /usr/lib/eclipse/configuration/1359535247587.log." | 08:41 |
| litropy | sweet, kepler | 08:41 |
| zayantay | any body here | 08:41 |
| kunji | !ask | zayantay | 08:41 |
| ubottu | zayantay: Please don't ask to ask a question, simply ask the question (all on ONE line and in the channel, so that others can read and follow it easily). If anyone knows the answer they will most likely reply. :-) See also !patience | 08:41 |
| hillary_ | i had purge the eclipse juno i install by hand | 08:41 |
| hillary_ | could it be there are some remains? | 08:41 |
| zayantay | where can i find help for penetration testing. please tell me a channel or ? | 08:42 |
| kunji | Hmm, not sure if that's exactly what I wanted the bot to say... I keep forgetting the calls, was there a more appropriate one? | 08:42 |
| hillary_ | how can i get rid of them? | 08:42 |
| xrs | #backtrack | 08:42 |
| xrs | @ zayantay | 08:42 |
| zayantay | thanks but is there a channel for backbox ? | 08:42 |
| xrs | theres like 15 security rooms in freenode | 08:42 |
| Hanmac_ | kepler i found the cupit ... its the VM (the server) when the VM is down, FF says cant find "xyz.local" but when the VM is up, it says cant find "abc.local" ... i removed everything from the hosts, the vhost is disabled too, i tryed all methods for dns-cleaning but it does still happening :( | 08:43 |
| zayantay | ok thanks ill check that out :) | 08:43 |
| kunji | zayantay: Probably... but you want to do pentesting when you can't even find that yourself? .... script kiddies.... | 08:43 |
| xrs | knowledge is power... | 08:43 |
| zayantay | sry man | 08:43 |
| xrs | just so long as ur pen testing your own equipment | 08:43 |
| zayantay | im new to linux | 08:44 |
| zayantay | in a way | 08:44 |
| zayantay | i tried mint for a while though | 08:44 |
| xrs | im new to linux n ive been using it since the 90s :P | 08:44 |
| zayantay | cool | 08:44 |
| kepler | Hanmac_, i think im not understanding the whole problem. you have a vm host that has two VMs on it that only are accessible while the other is down? | 08:44 |
| kunji | xrs: That's why I don't like pointing people places for pen testing... it's usually not their own equipment, 9 times out of 10 it's someone looking to break wireless passwords to get free wifi -_- | 08:45 |
| hillary_ | ubuntu 12.04 | 08:45 |
| Hanmac_ | kepler its one VM with two vhosts ... (now only one active vhost) ... and i act access this vhost because it try to redirect to an non-existing vhost | 08:46 |
| kurisutian | Hi there! Can anyone help me getting convirt to work? I wanted to set up a web managed kvm server but somehow convirt won't work. Packages are installed but after that it refuses to work.... | 08:46 |
| kepler | Hamled, i'm not sure :/ sorry | 08:47 |
| litropy | xrs, kunji, zayantay, Ya. And in that case, it's worth mentioning that doing so is a felony in the US. | 08:47 |
| litropy | US at least ... | 08:47 |
| xrs | Yeah just ask Aaron Swartz | 08:48 |
| litropy | Not to be *that guy* | 08:48 |

| hillary_ | any help? | 08:48 |
| kepler | kittenmittens, that last paste shows that the driver isn't working for whatever reason | 08:49 |
| === jolaren_ is now known as apa | ||
| === apa is now known as apish | ||
| kittenmittens | so what should i do | 08:49 |
| genoobie | paly | 08:49 |
| genoobie | okay | 08:49 |
| kepler | kittenmittens, do " sudo apt-get remove --purge fglrx " to get rid of the driver | 08:49 |
| kunji | litropy: indeed | 08:49 |
| kepler | hopefully it boots up like it did | 08:49 |
| genoobie | I mean I am done with *nix on this older machine | 08:49 |
| apish | I know that I use "rsync -avz -e ssh /home/ramesh/ ramesh@192.168.200.10:/backup/ramesh/" in order to sync local folder to remote folder.. but what if i want to sync remote folder to local? | 08:49 |
| genoobie | xp runs fine | 08:49 |
| genoobie | done | 08:49 |
| genoobie | nite all | 08:50 |
| FloodBot1 | genoobie: Please don't flood; use http://paste.ubuntu.com to paste; don't use Enter as punctuation. | 08:50 |
| kittenmittens | ook :) rebooting | 08:50 |
| litropy | apish, ssh to the remote and then rsync? | 08:51 |
| kepler | kittenmittens, after you boot back up, get a terminal again and try this: http://askubuntu.com/questions/124292/what-is-the-correct-way-to-install-ati-catalyst-video-drivers-fglrx | 08:52 |
| xrs | well that explains why my video never worked after 12.10... i hate amd | 08:54 |

| kepler | looks like that one is the same as the fglrx we tried before, but adding using sudo amdconfig --initial | 09:36 |
| kepler | which may be what fixes it | 09:36 |
| kepler | we have a weird setup out here, so i did my own xorg.conf | 09:36 |

| bartzy | Hey | 10:30 |
| bartzy | if I use 12.10 , and PHP version there is X for example | 10:30 |
| bartzy | for example 5.4.6 | 10:30 |
| bartzy | and then PHP releases PHP 5.5 | 10:30 |
| bartzy | the repo will update to php 5.5 ? | 10:30 |
| dr_willis | !latest | 10:30 |
| ubottu | Packages in Ubuntu may not be the latest. Ubuntu aims for stability, so "latest" may not be a good idea. Post-release updates are only considered if they are fixes for security vulnerabilities, high impact bug fixes, or unintrusive bug fixes with substantial benefit. See also !backports, !sru, and !ppa. | 10:30 |
| bartzy | Or will stay at 5.4.6 forever, with just security patches (like debian) ? | 10:30 |
| dr_willis | bartzy: possible, but not likely | 10:30 |
| bartzy | So exactly like debian stable / | 10:31 |
| bartzy | Same policy give or take ? | 10:31 |
| dr_willis | theres backports and ppas if yoiu need newer | 10:31 |
| bartzy | Cool. | 10:31 |
| bartzy | And this is the same for all ubuntu releases ? | 10:31 |
| bartzy | 12.04, 12.10, 13.04 ? | 10:31 |
| dr_willis | yes | 10:31 |
| bartzy | Or there is a "Testing" version where the packages update , like debian wheezy/sid ? | 10:31 |
| dr_willis | bartzy: no 'testing' | 10:31 |
| Ray | Hello, im trying to install TrueCombat Elite on ubuntu 12.04, when i extract/install it from Term, it is looking for Wolfenstein, is wolfenstein needed..??? | 10:32 |
| bobweaver | bartzy, not really there are pure "Ubuntu developers" that both do Ubuntu patchs and also debian or just Ubuntu thus sometimes thing make it into Ubuntu stuff but that is not looked up to that much | 10:32 |
| bobweaver | bartzy, what is stoping you from installing "what you want to use ? " | 10:32 |
| bartzy | dr_willis: So how packages getting upgraded in major versions ? i.e. php5.4 to php 5.5 ? Just in new releases, i.e. 13.04 to 13.10 ? | 10:32 |
| shomon | where can I get help with soap web services? sorry if that's OT here... | 10:32 |
| dr_willis | bartzy: you got it. | 10:32 |
| litropy | bobweaver, I think he's trying to get a grasp of how Ubuntu manages their packages. | 10:33 |
| bobweaver | ahh | 10:33 |
| dr_willis | every 6 mo stuff gets updated.. in most cases | 10:33 |
| alimj | Sorry if this is a dumb but however I could change GIMP interface language? | 10:33 |
| bobweaver | unless there is a security patch or something big is needed. correct | 10:33 |
| dr_willis | but even then - it may not be the absolute latest | 10:33 |
| bobweaver | dr_willis, about 6 months behind ? | 10:33 |
| alimj | I mean How could I change GIMP interface language? | 10:34 |
| dr_willis | i never worry about the vversions. ;) | 10:34 |
| litropy | dr_willis, so packages will never get upgradd to newer versions if I keep the same Ubunu release? | 10:34 |
| litropy | upgraded* | 10:34 |
| dr_willis | !latest | 10:34 |
| blunted | Newest upstart produces odd error with HDD devices, what's the proper way of reporting it? | 10:34 |
| litropy | Sorry for the typos peeps - I'm tired. | 10:34 |
| Ray | Hello, im trying to install TrueCombat Elite on ubuntu 12.04, when i extract/install it from Term, it is looking for Wolfenstein, is wolfenstein needed..??? | 10:34 |
| bobweaver | alimj, you can change the language for all programs under gnome-control-center -> language's | 10:34 |
| dr_willis | normally only security updates get updated topackage.. some times secirity fixs get ported back to older packages | 10:35 |
| Ben64 | Ray: doesn't seem like an ubuntu issue, ask the truecombat people? | 10:35 |
| litropy | dr_willis, thx | 10:35 |
| bartzy | dr_willis: So what is the difference between the main repository, and the security repository ? | 10:35 |
| Ray | Ben64 : Probably | 10:35 |
| litropy | Alrighty. Goodnight, peeps. | 10:35 |
| dr_willis | bartzy: no idea. i rarely worry about such things | 10:36 |
| bartzy | ok, thanks. Anyone knows why there is a security repo and a main repo ? | 10:36 |
| bobweaver | bartzy, main is the "main" security is push from CVT's | 10:37 |
| bobweaver | like if there is a report bartzy of some CVE then fixs can go to that also kernel fixs and stuff like that | 10:37 |
| bobweaver | kinda | 10:38 |
| bobweaver | bartzy if you like things like that Today is part of Ubuntu Developers week in #ubuntu-classroom | 10:38 |

| SAngeli | I need help with permissions. I run ubuntu server. /var/www has this security "drwxr-xr-x 2 root root". I need with another username (being allowed to do so) to be able to wrx to this path (-R). what should I do? I wish not to alter native permissions. Can this new username be like root? if so how to? or can I add this user to the root group? | 10:43 |

| Ben64 | SAngeli: you should look into vhosts | 10:43 |
| dr_willis | SAngeli: i think you add them to the www group.. but i alwo thought www should be owned by the www group. but i am only rembering what otheers have said iin here in the past | 10:44 |
| GoodHand_ | Hi | 10:48 |
| SAngeli | ok | 10:48 |
| SAngeli | dr_willis, I see. Let me see | 10:48 |
| GoodHand_ | Hi GeniusBrain | 10:48 |
| GoodHand_ | I have problem with add app to left bar! (sublime text 2) | 10:49 |
| SAngeli | dr_willis, what I need is to create a SAMBA share to /var/www and be able to rwx from another PC. | 10:49 |
| ActionParsnip | GoodHand_: what is the issue? | 10:49 |
| GoodHand_ | How to do it! | 10:50 |
| SAngeli | dr_willis, also the gruup name is root root as listed above. | 10:50 |
| ActionParsnip | GoodHand_: do you have the app installed? | 10:50 |
| dr_willis | root.root for owning www seems odd.. but i dont manage web servers ;) | 10:51 |
| Ben64 | SAngeli: sounds very insecure. you should really look into a better system. ssh/scp/rsync and vhosts | 10:51 |
| GeniusBrain | Ben64 | 10:51 |
| === sophia is now known as Guest4287 | ||
| GoodHand_ | ActionParsnip: yeah | 10:51 |
| GeniusBrain | GoodHand_: do you have the app installed? | 10:51 |
| SAngeli | Ben64, is local to my network and is for development only. I need to see this as a file folder inside my PC. I do not wish to ftp or similar | 10:52 |
| === themill_ is now known as themill | ||
| SAngeli | moreover it is only on the /www so not much security issue. | 10:52 |
| SAngeli | this is only for the web server for developing websites locally | 10:52 |
| dr_willis | i bet samba will screw with ownership anbd permissions greatly... while ssh/scp/stp wont... | 10:52 |

| SAngeli | Ben yes | 10:58 |
| SAngeli | Ben64, Yes, Windows 7 | 10:58 |
| GoodHand_ | GeniusBrain: Bye! | 10:58 |
| GeniusBrain | GoodHand_: do you have the app installed? | 10:58 |
| ActionParsnip | GoodHand_: run the app, when it shows in the Unity launcher, right click it and select to lock it. | 10:59 |
| GeniusBrain | Problem with add app in python to left bar | 10:59 |
| Ben64 | you could set /var/www to 777 and/or change owner, then have it shared with samba with no permissions | 10:59 |
| GeniusBrain | Moreover it is only on the /www so not much security issue | 10:59 |
| raven_ | ive got an issue.. i have a laptop and pc, and i need to install windows on my pc but it has no dvd drive, and my usb is only 2 gigs.. is it possible to use a harddrive as like a usb? | 11:00 |
| Ben64 | GeniusBrain: why do you keep repeating what people say | 11:00 |

| Ben64 | GeniusBrain: stop | 11:00 |
| GeniusBrain | Ben64: yeah | 11:00 |
| SAngeli | Ben64, no change owner. I could change group but is there a way I can add a user to root group? I ask this because if I am correct when I list /var/www I get drwxr-xr-x 2 root root which tells me that the owner is "root" but also that the group is "root". Am I right? | 11:01 |
| Ben64 | SAngeli: why not change owner? | 11:01 |
| fig | use Wubi, you can install Ubuntu with no DVD over your Windows installation | 11:01 |
| SAngeli | Ben64, because I do not know if this would have any impact on Apache running. Also, I have a differne case too. So | 11:01 |
| lombardo | SAngeli: change group doing this: chown sangeli.users /var/www/file | 11:02 |
| Ben64 | SAngeli: it wouldn't affect apache | 11:02 |
| SAngeli | I wish to know if I can add sangeli to root group or similar | 11:02 |
| SAngeli | can I do so? | 11:02 |
| Ben64 | you cannot | 11:02 |
| GeniusBrain | SAngeli: do you have the app installed? | 11:02 |
| SAngeli | So, my last resort is to access the share as root | 11:02 |
| SAngeli | I can do so, right? | 11:02 |
| Ben64 | no | 11:02 |
| GeniusBrain | You can install Ubuntu with no DVD over your Windows installation | 11:02 |
| SAngeli | :-( | 11:03 |
| Ben64 | i've already given you a solution | 11:03 |
| GeniusBrain | Possible to use a harddrive as like | 11:03 |
| lombardo | SAngeli: root group is wheel... if you want to add sangeli to wheel group, i think you need to do: usermod -g wheel sangeli | 11:03 |
| SAngeli | Ben64, here is another example: I wish to rwx on /var/log. I cannot go around the system and start changing ownership like I wish. | 11:03 |
| fig | The nice thing about using Wubi is you can access your Windows files as if they're in just another file | 11:04 |
| SAngeli | lombardo, thanks | 11:04 |
| SAngeli | I will try | 11:04 |
| fig | folder* | 11:04 |
| SAngeli | lombardo, it does not exist as group | 11:04 |
| Ben64 | SAngeli: i've already given you a solution.... | 11:05 |
| GeniusBrain | Like a usb? | 11:05 |
| SAngeli | Ben64, Ok, I get it. | 11:05 |
| lombardo | SAngeli: you sure? look in /etc/groups .. is no wheel? | 11:05 |
| Ben64 | lombardo: not on ubuntu/debian | 11:05 |
| GeniusBrain | Does not exist as group | 11:05 |
| lombardo | SAngeli: cat /etc/group | 11:05 |
| SAngeli | lombardo, I was unable to find it. | 11:05 |
| lombardo | oh i see | 11:05 |
| ActionParsnip | fig: you can do that in a regular install | 11:05 |
| GeniusBrain | Shows in the Unity launcher, right? | 11:06 |
| SAngeli | lombardo, cat /etc/group | grep wheel | 11:06 |
| ActionParsnip | fig: accessing windows partitions isn't unique to wubi installs | 11:06 |

| lombardo | SAngeli: root group is also called root | 11:07 |
| Ben64 | i'm in #ubuntu-ops | 11:07 |
| GeniusBrain | hillary_: root group or similar | 11:07 |
| ActionParsnip | fig: what is fast? | 11:07 |
| hillary_ | GeniusBrain, similar | 11:07 |
| GeniusBrain | hillary_: you sure? look in /etc/groups | 11:07 |
| fig | using Wubi rather than checking another harddrive partition | 11:07 |
| Ben64 | hillary_: ignore GeniusBrain | 11:08 |
| GeniusBrain | Ben64: How to do it! | 11:08 |
| BrixSat | Morning | 11:08 |
| ActionParsnip | fig: its not really fast, a true install will be faster as it doesn't get affected by the shortcomings in NTFS | 11:08 |
| fig | you can browse videos for instance quickly | 11:08 |
| GeniusBrain | Share as root | 11:08 |
| lombardo | GeniusBrain is just pasting other peoples lines as answers to random people | 11:08 |
| GeniusBrain | Me see this as a file folder inside my PC | 11:08 |

| Ben64 | hillary_: well the error says it all. you have a duplicate source | 11:11 |
| hillary_ | Ben64, yes how can i correct it please | 11:11 |
| ActionParsnip | fig: no, I just understand how NTFS degrades over time, this affects the wubi disk file directly | 11:11 |
| ActionParsnip | fig: Journalised file systems do not degrade nearly as much so is a much better option in that sense | 11:12 |
| Ben64 | hillary_: open the software center, go to Edit and Software Sources, and uncheck the one that is duplicate | 11:12 |
| phoenixsampras | hello, ubuntu is crashing in my laptop | 11:12 |
| GeniusBrain | Hi phoenixsampras | 11:12 |
| lombardo | hillary_: it says you have duplicate entries in your sources.list... i would look in that file.. it is at /etc/apt/sources.list | 11:12 |
| lombardo | hillary_: just comment it out if there is a duplicate there | 11:12 |
| ActionParsnip | fig: the ONLY good thing about Wubi imho is that the host partition is mapped automagically for you, otherwise the fact that wubi is so fragile makes it not suitable for long term use | 11:12 |
| GeniusBrain | I do so? | 11:12 |
| GeniusBrain | I have a duplicate there | 11:12 |
| ActionParsnip | fig: and fixing it is far from easy via liveCD (mount ntfs, loop mount wubi file etc). | 11:13 |
| GeniusBrain | Journalised file systems do not degrade nearly as much so is a duplicate source | 11:13 |

| Super_Dog | That's about all I'm doing with Zentyal right now... | 11:19 |
| RajneshSiwal1 | You should use it as an AD (PDC) it supports even GPOs | 11:19 |
| Super_Dog | what's a GPO? | 11:20 |
| RajneshSiwal1 | Integrating both Linux and Windows Environment | 11:20 |

| MonkeyDust | Super_Dog if zentyal were the same as ubuntu, it would be called ubuntu | 11:27 |
| Super_Dog | OK. - I guess the command "lsb_release -a" must be lying to me then. It says Ubuntu 10.04 on my Zentyal server terminal... | 11:30 |

| jnhghy | does anybody know how to install adobe acrobat reader in ubuntu 12.04 64bit? I tried adding the ppa also downloading the .bin, .deb, .rpm from the adobe site all had issues. anybody has a solution that want's to share? | 11:33 |
| hillary_ | dr_willis, hi, Kindly assist me with a command that will allow me to write into a root folder | 11:33 |
| ronin_1977 | hi | 11:33 |
| Ben64 | jnhghy: do you really need adobe's? ubuntu comes with a pdf reader by default | 11:34 |
| ActionParsnip | jnhghy: mark the .bin file as executable and run it using sudo | 11:34 |
| ActionParsnip | hillary_: do you use a GUI OS? | 11:34 |
| ronin_1977 | i need some information about video converter in linux | 11:35 |
| hillary_ | dr_willis, i want to alter a file in /etc/apt/sourcelist.txt ubuntu 12.04 is my os yes | 11:35 |
| ActionParsnip | hillary_: gksudo gedit /etc/apt/sourcelist.txt | 11:35 |
| jnhghy | Ben64: I can't use evince because with some of my pdf's when I try to print I get inverted colors (even in print preview) | 11:35 |
| ActionParsnip | jnhghy: use terminal, lots easier | 11:36 |
| ronin_1977 | i have ubuntu 12.10 , and download i little program called soun converter , but this program not work very well | 11:36 |
| jnhghy | ActionParsnip: I made the .bin file executable and tried to run it but I get error message "No such file or directory" | 11:36 |
| ActionParsnip | jnhghy: then you need to change directory to where the file is held | 11:36 |
| ActionParsnip | jnhghy: you will also need to prefix the file with ./ as pwd is not in $PATH | 11:36 |
| ActionParsnip | jnhghy: so use: sudo ./Acrobat.bin or whatever the file name is | 11:37 |
| ronin_1977 | soundconverter dont convert all files in the list . His stopped in the middle of task | 11:37 |
| jnhghy | ActionParsnip: I did, then I typed only a few letters of the name of the pack and then hit "tab" and it founded the file .... so I'm giving the right command in the right place but still get the error, yes with ./ in front :) | 11:37 |
| ActionParsnip | jnhghy: try using absolute path. Eg: sudo /home/$USER/filename.bin | 11:38 |
| Super_Dog | jinghy: I installed from Medibuntu repository quite easily... http://www.medibuntu.org/ | 11:38 |
| ActionParsnip | jnhghy: I assume you used: chown +x /home/$USER/filename.bin to mark executable | 11:39 |
| jnhghy | ActionParsnip: I ended up thinking it's an issue with the program running on 64bit is this not plausible? | 11:39 |
| ActionParsnip | jnhghy: possibly, i've not used acrobat reader, let me see | 11:39 |
| Super_Dog | Just downloaded the font package and it gave me reader, too... | 11:39 |
| jnhghy | ActionParsnip: thanks for the time, I'll try with absolute path.... if that won't work I'll try Super_dog solution. Thanks both... | 11:39 |
| Super_Dog | May not be the latest and greatest at medibuntu but it worked for me.... | 11:40 |

| ubottu | aptitude is another terminal-based front-end to APT. You may encounter problems on multiarch installs (11.10 and higher) as aptitude cannot currently handle the same package with different architectures being installed at the same time.

| jnhghy | I have a hdd that has ubuntu 12.04 with a lot of software that got removed(including network-manager) at this point I have that hdd in this computer that also has ubuntu 12.04. at this point I see 2 options: 1 I download and copy the missing packages and try to install them after I put the hdd back in it's computer or I reinstall the os-that brings me to a new question: if I reinstall the os can I simply copy paste the current profile? will it use the exi | 13:16 |
| jnhghy | sting config files? or is this out of the question? | 13:16 |
| GoodHand_ | thx | 13:16 |
| ioria | histo: you create a file with inside written: URL=file:///home/user/filename | 13:16 |
| histo | jnhghy: Why not just copy everything with rsync? Or dd | 13:17 |
| blackshirt | hello, what is the website http://packages.ubuntu.com written with ? | 13:17 |
| jnhghy | histo: copying everything? what do you mean? | 13:17 |
| histo | jnhghy: Your question doesn't really makse sense. Do you have two hdd's or one? Are you trying to transfer data? | 13:18 |
| histo | blackshirt: looks like html to me | 13:19 |
| kunji | histo: ioria is referring to what is shown in the Location bar in Nautilus I think. Hmm, I've never tried reaching something that way on the command line. | 13:19 |
| kunji | histo: Well, there's something like that syntax for Browse Network, I don't remember seeing it anywhere else though | 13:20 |
| ioria | kunji: no wait.... :-( i'd like to open a file url in gnome terminal but i can't in lubuntu... but i CAN in gnome... why that ? | 13:20 |
| jnhghy | I'm very sorry if my question doesn't make sens, I'll try elaborate. I said I have a hdd with issues (I removed a lot of softwares from it) at this point that hdd is a slave in a nother computer(the computer I am using now) the data was not affected but I need a solution to fix the os on the hdd that has issues if the best way is to reinstall then I need also a solution to copy the config/customization files with apropriate rights.... | 13:20 |
| histo | jnhghy: I don't know how else to say that for it to make sense. Copying all your data. | 13:20 |
| histo | kunji: yeah smb://server in nautilus | 13:21 |
| histo | ioria: and how do you open said file in terminal? | 13:21 |
| histo | jnhghy: rsync << | 13:21 |
| histo | jnhghy: and What sort of issues do you mean? | 13:22 |
| kunji | ioria: That's just it, I don't know what you mean by a file url... files don't have urls, except I think for files on the network rather than on your machine. Just what file are you trying to access? | 13:22 |
| jnhghy | histo: you told me a solutin then you ask me what I mean? does it make sens? | 13:22 |
| ioria | histo: if you write in gnome-terminal "URL=file:///home/user/filename" and you move your mouse over it it's highlighted | 13:22 |
| histo | Am I crazy or is everyone in here not making sense right now? | 13:22 |
| histo | jnhghy: rsync can copy your configs | 13:22 |
| kunji | histo: you're not crazy, I'm as confused as you are | 13:23 |
| histo | jnhghy: I originally thought you wanted to copy your entire drive. So I was saying you could use rsync or dd | 13:23 |
| blackshirt | histo: where i can get the source code for it ? is it freely available ? | 13:23 |
| ioria | histo: and right click you can choose "open link" | 13:23 |
| jnhghy | histo: thanks for this info, and the new os will use those config files? I need to use the same username? or how will it tell? | 13:23 |
| histo | blackshirt: right click view source | 13:23 |
| ioria | histo: and the file opens | 13:24 |
| kunji | ioria: The highlighting means nothing significant, I think it's just picking up on the syntax with : and // and thinking it's an http url. | 13:24 |
| histo | ioria: Okay well you can't right click on a file in gnome-terminal . So maybe you mean nautilus file browser. | 13:24 |
| usr13 | histo: You're not crazy | 13:24 |
| ioria | histo: uffi .... | 13:24 |

| kunji | histo: umm, maybe in a man page? But I think it would be to a website not a file. | 13:26 |

| histo | Kartagis: chromium should have the same behavior | 13:27 |
| Kartagis | histo: so only option left for me is ff? | 13:28 |
| Jpmh | Kartagis: yes - chrome is horrible if you do not have a boatload of memory | 13:28 |
| PioneerAxon | One is running Ubuntu 12.10 (with intel 5100 chip) and another on 12.04 (with bcmw 4313). | 13:28 |
| Kartagis | Jpmh: 2gb | 13:28 |
| Jpmh | Kartagis: midori seems very low profile | 13:28 |
| histo | Kartagis: that's plenty of memory. There are lighter browsers though if that is your concern | 13:28 |
| kunji | histo: Well, for instance if you do man ls and scroll down to the Reporting Bugs section, there are urls to websites. That's just about the only place I can think of where you would see urls in the terminal. Well, or in web dev stuff. | 13:29 |
| usr13 | If we want to [regularly] access a samba share on another [Linux] PC, it's probably easiest to set it up as an nfs share, and you can mount it on the local [Linux] PC as /home/user/samba-share or something like that. | 13:29 |
| Jpmh | Kartagis: 2gb with unity is probably not enough | 13:29 |
| Kartagis | Jpmh: cairo-dock | 13:29 |
| Jpmh | Kartagis: what? | 13:30 |
| ioria | Ben64: i can open 'URL=http:///www.google.com' but i can't open 'URL=file:///home/ioria/myfile' in lubuntu. But in gnome i can... do you know something about that ? please | 13:30 |
| PioneerAxon | Anyone? | 13:31 |
| kunji | ioria: Yeah, it parses links, I said that already, but files are not "links" per se. So is it a link, or a file? Can you screenshot this for us and paste it? | 13:31 |
| usr13 | .... that's the way I'd do it.... Because there is nothing wrong with having a samba share also set up as an nfs share. It's very convenient, (especially if you want to access it and manipulate the files via CLI.) | 13:31 |
| histo | PioneerAxon: How are you trying to connect when security is enabled? | 13:31 |
| Kartagis | Jpmh: I'm using cairo-dock | 13:31 |
| Ben64 | ioria: use gnome? or don't use weird file links in a terminal | 13:31 |
| PioneerAxon | histo: Just as I normally did, host the hotspot on the first machine (12.10) and then connect with second (12.04) | 13:31 |
| ioria | Ben64: come again , plese ? | 13:32 |

| Ben64 | ioria: use gnome? or don't use weird file links in a terminal | 13:32 |
| Jpmh | Kartagis: never tried it | 13:32 |
| PioneerAxon | histo: I had the networks working a day back.. Then suddenly it won't connect, so I had tried different things, and found out that the only problem is with security.. :/ | 13:32 |
| ioria | Ben64: i'm on lubuntu, but installed also gnome (in another session) and the link it's a link to a text file | 13:33 |
| PioneerAxon | histo: Yeah ad-hoc. Hosted by hotspot on 12.10 | 13:33 |

| SAngeli | is there a difference for the password between an Admin user and the root user? Is there such a root password or account under ubuntu server? I ask this as when I changed the password for the user when I typed sudo -s I had to use the same user password. Can comeone please explain? | 14:07 |

| nyRednek | usr13, fwiw, i would be happy with an install with minimal GUI | 14:08 |
| histo | !root | SAngeli | 14:08 |
| ubottu | SAngeli: Do not try to guess the root password, that is impossible. Instead, realise the truth... there is no root password. Then you will see that it is 'sudo' that grants you access and not the root password. Look at https://help.ubuntu.com/community/RootSudo | 14:08 |

| hick12 | hi everybody :) could I ask a quick question about the Ubuntu Windows Installer? Basically I just downloaded it on my laptop and installed it expecting the Windows bootloaders to come up when booting. Instead it jumps right into Ubuntu. Is there a way to get it to boot into the bootloader or do I have to restore the old master boot sector effectively prohibiting me from booting into Ubuntu? | 14:15 |
| usr13 | nyRednek: Yea, just right click on the install icon and see what it says in properties. | 14:16 |
| usr13 | ... should give the command name... | 14:16 |
| usr13 | and test it from terminal. And then see where it is. which cdrominstall or something.... | 14:17 |
| usr13 | but the command name is more than likely the app name as well, (I would suppose). | 14:17 |

| y2j | ok build the raid | 14:58 |
| histo | mathi: change it and make sure you update-grub | 14:58 |
| nils_ | mathi: it could be that grub recorded some sort of failure, which will cause it to not use a timeout | 14:58 |
| y2j | how about moving the 1tb data to the 3tb hd? | 14:58 |
| === anoland_ks_ is now known as anoland | ||
| mathi | nils_: how do I force it to use the timeout *in any case* | 14:58 |

| phoenixsampras | How to disable Compiz??? | 15:34 |
| MonkeyDust | phoenixsampras unity is a compiz plugin | 15:35 |
| ThinkT510 | phoenixsampras: if you are on unity it would be a bad idea to disable compiz | 15:35 |
| nyRednek | ok, i'm having an issue getting afterstep to appear in the lightdm menu | 15:36 |
| histo | ThinkT510: does unity2d use compiz? Ofcourse he would only be able to do that in 12.04 | 15:36 |
| ThinkT510 | histo: no, it uses metacity | 15:36 |
| dw- | OTI: ping 8.8.8.8 works / | 15:36 |

| phoenixsampras | how to install it? | 15:43 |
| MonkeyDust | and mind your language | 15:43 |
| l057c0d3r | and that unity now uses llvmpipe for people that do not have enough resources to run unity.. which would make unity run like unity2d did | 15:43 |

| histo | !gnome3 | phoenixsampras | 15:46 |
| ubottu | phoenixsampras: GNOME 3 is the desktop environment on which Unity is based. To use GNOME Shell instead of Unity, install the "gnome-shell" package and investigate "gnome-tweak-tool". GNOME 3 is not supported under Natty/11.04, and may break your system if installed from alternate sources. | 15:46 |
| phoenixsampras | ouch... | 15:46 |
| l057c0d3r | ActionParsnip, yeah.... but he was asking for gnome 2 so i figured he wanted a taskbar | 15:46 |

| zilkomaa | ubottu, thnx | 15:48 |
| histo | !notunity | phoenixsampras | 15:48 |
| ubottu | phoenixsampras: 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 | 15:48 |

| threex5 | i thought it was the case in gnome 2 as well. it seems that some key bindings have changed subtly | 16:03 |

| llutz | ActionParsnip: you can edit all those files without issues, they will be copied and build "/etc/resolv.conf" | 16:04 |
| histo | ActionParsnip: the resolvconf package generates the /etc/resolv.conf from the head and base | 16:04 |
| ActionParsnip | OTI: you can now run: sudo apt-get update and be ok | 16:04 |
| ActionParsnip | histo: llutz: I see, I'd leave the header alone, the base is much neater | 16:04 |
| OTI | histo, ping www.google.fi works but no pages open | 16:05 |

| ActionParsnip | OTI: can you get updates now? | 16:05 |
| histo | OTI: ping doesn't open pages | 16:05 |
| llutz | ActionParsnip: to override networkmanager you'll have to edit head, not base, to get your entries first | 16:05 |
| ActionParsnip | histo: gotcha | 16:05 |
| l057c0d3r | hmm i was thinking about droping xcompmgr and installing compiz.. but wouldnt that replace openbox? | 16:05 |
| ActionParsnip | l057c0d3r: yes as both are window managers | 16:06 |
| l057c0d3r | thats what i thought | 16:06 |
| ActionParsnip | l057c0d3r: you can run just compiz on its own | 16:06 |

| ActionParsnip | Blacklite_: ubuntu minimal, fluxbox, wicd, slim | 16:20 |

Can someone explain to me how to set the resolution higher on a headless Ubuntu Desktop (32 bit 10.04) | 16:50 |
| phoenixsampras1 | apt-get upgrade-distro aint working | 16:50 |
| zerm | ActionParsnip, I suspect the heavy I/O I am doing with a SAS controller/network that this might cause the problem | 16:50 |
| zykotick9 | zerm: a process could die (check it's logs) but the kernel isn't going to "kill" anything unless you ask it too. | 16:51 |
| uplinx | phoenixsampras1, apt-get dist-upgrade | 16:51 |
| phoenixsampras1 | uplinx: thanks! | 16:51 |
| uplinx | phoenixsampras1, np | 16:51 |
| zerm | zykotick9, that's what i thought. but that's not happening. e.g. i had a python process where I had a bug causing severe memory consumption. after 5 minutes swapping, the process miriculously terminated without any notice. maybe that's python's behavior, though | 16:52 |
| ActionParsnip | phoenixsampras1: if you read the man page rather than trying to guess commands, you'll win | 16:52 |

| fogobogo | piglit: depends on what you want/need | 16:58 |
| memand | zerm: If you have some python code that goes into a infinite loop that eats memory and the interpreter for some reasson does not catch that it is an unhealty loop if can cause the system to freeze, and I guess in some casses reboot (on my system it just logged out) | 16:58 |
| ActionParsnip | piglit: what is 'firtual'? | 16:58 |
| piglit | fogobo: well first of all i need a easy install as i dont have much time | 16:59 |

| mibofra_smart | hi :) | 17:15 |
| zerm | i mean, that looks like a panic. i'm not so super linux expert, i expected some big "PANIC" in a log | 17:15 |
| zerm | still, it reboots and does not dump the core. i wish i could prevent that | 17:16 |
| zerm | best would be to drop into kdb or whatever | 17:16 |
| zerm | is there a sysctl or something? | 17:16 |
| memand | zerm: I'm not 100% sure what that BUG means, but it does not sound too good | 17:16 |
| zerm | according to google, there was a bug in the linux kernel 3 years ago with that symtop/error message | 17:17 |
| zerm | but that's about it | 17:17 |
| lonewulf85 | I am taking a PC class and for one site testout.com I need silverlight I was hoping I could run a VM as a work around. | 17:17 |

| z_erm | memand, i'm not sure that it's related to the machine at all. more the SAS controller or tape drive, i guess. Had some (but only some) unexplainable reboots quite a while ago when using a completely different machine | 17:39 |
| z_erm | now i've set all kernel.panic* sysctls to debugging values, disabled apic, rebooted. let's see. backup will take about 1-2 hours until crash/freeze | 17:40 |
| xinglenick | memand: i set LC_LANGUAGE to en_US in /etc/default/locale file and ran update-locale, then reboot and login, but i still found the LC_LANGUAGE is set to zh_CN:en_US:en | 17:41 |

| guide_X | I have 11.04 and it won't update, i'm not sure how to fix it | 17:42 |
| ThinkT510 | guide_X: 11.04 is no longer supported | 17:43 |
| guide_X | this is the endless loop it is in as well | 17:43 |
| guide_X | it says it needs to update and isn't supported, but then can't update | 17:43 |
| guide_X | is it not possible to update it or? | 17:43 |
| ThinkT510 | guide_X: why didn't you upgrade to a newer release when it was supported? | 17:44 |
| teefs | jrib: I can't find anything, and ironically, haskell-site-file.el is parsed fine by emacs elisp mode :) | 17:44 |
| teefs | really weird | 17:44 |
| xangua | guide_X: open update manager and upgrade to 11.10 | 17:44 |
| guide_X | I did not build it and have only started using it recently, it is a sort of dev/staging server | 17:44 |
| guide_X | thats when it cannot update | 17:45 |
| guide_X | it says the program closed unexpectedly | 17:45 |
| jrib | teefs: you might try redownloading the deb (delete what you have in /var/cache/apt/archives/ ) and installing that to see if it makes a difference. Might also check the various files for the package in /var/lib/dpkg/info/ . And finally, you might checkout debsums. I'm not really sure what's going on :) | 17:45 |

| jrib | sweettea: 12.04 = support for 5 years, 12.10 = support for 18 months (from release) but has newer software | 19:11 |
| sweettea | compdoc: on server? I am sorry I should have specified | 19:12 |
| sweettea | I have joined that channel and asked there | 19:13 |
| === daniel is now known as Guest30367 | ||
| bogi- | sweettea, compdoc, +1 for 12.04 but +10 to stay on centOS | 19:14 |
| jhutchins_wk | Tecan: I can't rip more than 2-3 CD's in a row. The drive gets hot and stops working. | 19:14 |
| sweettea | why stay? the virtd binaries are very old | 19:15 |
| sweettea | its the only reason I am moving to ubuntu | 19:15 |
| compdoc | bogi-, sweettea, centos is ok, but I switched to Ubuntu from centos and will not go back | 19:15 |
| bogi- | jhutchins_wk, you need a pro burner then | 19:15 |
| jhutchins_wk | bogi-: Or maybe just a better location in the case. | 19:15 |

| sweettea | guys, were talking about servers right | 19:16 |
| sweettea | ofc I use ubuntu on my laptop | 19:16 |
| bogi- | jhutchins_wk, yy maybe that too | 19:16 |
| local | chriys: nmap -PN localhost ??? or are you talking about your router? | 19:16 |
| sweettea | my main concern is security | 19:16 |
| tripelb | jhutchins_wk: thanks. That's what I've been looking for if I didn't already find that in search for_ grub rescue and grub recovery | 19:16 |
| === swappermall___ is now known as swappermall | ||
| jrib | sweettea: yes, support includes security updates | 19:17 |
| jhutchins_wk | sweettea: The only real reason to use Centos is to be compatible with RHEL. | 19:18 |
| neuron | tripelb: I did not find any solution to my problem. Ethernet is not working. I tried to install it from AR8151 package with no success . It says autoconf.h not found | 19:18 |
| chriys | local: i'm using postfix and the port 25 seems to be blocked by my ISP that's why i can't send email outside of the localnetwork and i'm wondering how to verify the opened one it order to make my postfix listening to it | 19:18 |
| jhutchins_wk | tripelb: Did you get it fixed? | 19:18 |
| === brontosaurusrex_ is now known as brontosaurusrex | ||
| jhutchins_wk | neuron: That should be supported by the internal atl1c driver since kernel 2.6.32 | 19:20 |
| jhutchins_wk | chriys: Port 25 is for _inbound_ mail. | 19:21 |
| jhutchins_wk | chriys: If they block it outbound how are you supposed to use their mailsevers? | 19:21 |

| chriys | jhutchins_wk: i asked this question to myself, by i was told that the port is block and work only with known host wich i found weird | 19:23 |
| chriys | no i have installed postfix on my ubuntu server | 19:23 |
| local | chriys: port forward. | 19:24 |
| jhutchins_wk | chriys: I realize that that's what you're trying to do, but what do you do for mail now? | 19:24 |
| chriys | local: on my router? already did | 19:24 |
| chriys | jhutchins_wk what do you mean | 19:24 |
| jhutchins_wk | chriys: Presumably you have some sort of external email account already? | 19:25 |

| jhutchins_wk | EvanCarroll: Or irssi + scren. | 19:32 |
| jhutchins_wk | !ask | 19:32 |
| ubottu | Please don't ask to ask a question, simply ask the question (all on ONE line and in the channel, so that others can read and follow it easily). If anyone knows the answer they will most likely reply. :-) See also !patience | 19:32 |
| chriys | jhutchins i use imap on port 993 with ssl | 19:33 |
| friendy | My question is quite simple. I am installing Hamachi to my linux machine, I previously attempted to use it in Virtualbox and run the game in Linux, but it has failed, so I am trying to install it to Linux. I have found two-three ways, using ARU, sysvinit, which confuses me being three files, the other from Logmein, but I cannot install lsb. I am using an older version of Ubuntu, but I require the heavenly help of the Guru's of Linux | 19:33 |
| friendy | lol | 19:33 |
| chriys | jhutchins_wk: i use imap on port 993 with ssl | 19:34 |
| EvanCarroll | friendy: that's not a clear question and it's very apologetic, so you need help isntalling lsb, or Hamachi (which I do not know about) | 19:34 |
| EvanCarroll | lsb should be in ubuntu-minimal or something to that affect. | 19:35 |
| keith_ | I have a macbook dual booting OSX and Ubuntu. I haven't used OSX in months and would like to remove it. Can I do this safely without any ill effects? I'm concerned if I clear that partition, it will really screw rEFIt up | 19:35 |
| MonkeyDust | friendy is that a windows game? | 19:35 |
| friendy | I have a few files. | 19:35 |
| friendy | I did within the magical terminal ./install.sh, but it is saying it won't work. | 19:36 |
| friendy | And I have no clue how to get the sysvinit way to work. | 19:36 |
| friendy | Yes Monkey, I am trying to get a windows game to work via Hamachi, multiplayer. | 19:36 |
| MonkeyDust | friendy in wine, then? | 19:36 |
| friendy | Yes. The game works perfectly, merely the producers of that game made horrible multiplayer that works perfectly in Ham. | 19:37 |
| MonkeyDust | friendy have you asked in #winehq ? | 19:37 |
| friendy | The Hamachi version, there exists a Linux version of that. It's not the game, its the linux version of Hamachi, which I am having problems installing. One said I needed lsb, but it looks like its on. Another said you can do it a different way, but when I click it, the terminal comes up and dissapears so fast. | 19:38 |
| MonkeyDust | friendy i read here, the linux version is beta, so perhaps buggy | 19:39 |
| friendy | Slightly buggy. I merely request help in getting it installed via the beta-buggy version, or the other way (Another person compiled something or this or that, supposed to be easier to install, because of problems with lsb, and an add on he made later had a gui version). | 19:40 |
| keith_ | I have a macbook dual booting OSX and Ubuntu. I haven't used OSX in months and would like to remove it. Can I do this safely without any ill effects? I'm concerned if I clear that partition, it will really screw rEFIt up | 19:40 |
| garnet | keith_: Just out of curiosity, what exactly in Ubuntu is better than in OS X? | 19:41 |
| friendy | If you could help me at all Monkey in figuring out why it won't work, and how to get it to work, it be appreciated. | 19:41 |
| local | anyone no where to put bash scripts that run on startup? | 19:42 |
| local | know^ | 19:42 |
| MonkeyDust | friendy no, i'm not a gamer and not familiar with windows | 19:42 |
| Lartza | What apt command would show me what package forced an install of another | 19:43 |
| friendy | But it's not with a windows program, but its with getting something installed, dealing with the terminal and ./install.sh and scripts, not with windows or windows games. | 19:43 |
| keith_ | garnet: Package management. I used to use MacPorts when I was on OSX, but I find that the Debian repos are much larger, and in particular contained a package that I needed and couldn't get to compile on my own. Other than that, the two are not so different | 19:43 |
| Lartza | Dependency | 19:43 |
| JokesOnYou77 | Hi all, I upgraded to 12.10 and installed ubuntu-gnome-desktop and now when I log into a gnome session my graphics settings are all messed up and I have to reapply all of my NVidia settings | 19:43 |
| phy1729 | keith_: I'd put rEFIt on it's own partition then whipe the Mac one perhaps leaving the recovery behind just in case | 19:43 |
| friendy | Can you at least help me resolve this error when I use the .Deb file? ---Dependency is not satisfiable: lsb-core (>= 3.0) ---- | 19:44 |
| keith_ | garnet: Additionally, my next computer will not be a MacBook, and another computer I have is also not made by apple | 19:44 |
| EvanCarroll | friendy: does Hamachi run under wine? or is it a native linux app? | 19:44 |
| kvothetech | friendy: install lsb-core version greater than or equal to 3.0 | 19:44 |
| keith_ | phy1729: Can I then expand the partition that Ubuntu is on without destroying any other data? | 19:44 |
| phy1729 | depends on the filesystem | 19:44 |
| friendy | Both. I'm trying to install the linux version. It was made into a native app. | 19:45 |
| kvothetech | keith_: depends on your hdd filesystem free space in other partitions etc | 19:45 |
| garnet | keith_: Ubuntu uses ext4. It's easily and safely expandable from LiveCD (USB) | 19:45 |
| Lartza | apt-cache rdepends package lists all and not only what's installed... | 19:45 |
| friendy | Kvothetech, where do I install the ones greater or equal? I've found so many links, and when I opend up systenamtic and typed in lsb, everything that was in there was installed. | 19:45 |
| keith_ | kvothetech, garnet, phy1729: thank you all | 19:46 |
| garnet | I think you can just delete your OS X partition from LiveCD (USB) and expand Ubuntu to fill it up. rEFIt being a EFI boot manager shouldn't become broken | 19:46 |
| Lartza | For example I have plymouth, libavformat etc installed and I want to know why | 19:46 |
| kvothetech | friendy: http://launchpadlibrarian.net/12905365/lsb-core_3.2-4ubuntu1_i386.deb is the 386 version... | 19:46 |

| kvothetech | friendy: if you're on a 64 bit install there's probably another one for you but...it's not hard to find. | 19:47 |
| TLoT | what partition type does /boot need to be, if i make a separate boot sector? | 19:47 |
| TLoT | s/sector/partition/ | 19:47 |
| friendy | Thank You. And no, not 64. 32 Maverick :). | 19:47 |
| friendy | Dependency is not satisfiable: alien (>= 8.36) | 19:48 |
| keith_ | garnet: Yes, but the rEFIt stuff is on the OSX partition in /efi | 19:48 |
| friendy | That just popped up. | 19:48 |
| TLoT | friendy: are you using Maverick? | 19:48 |
| friendy | Dependency is not satisfiable: alien (>= 8.36) ---Yeah, I am. | 19:48 |
| kvothetech | TLoT: depends on your bootloader but usually first 1024 sectors and ext2/3/4 are common... | 19:48 |
| TLoT | !maverick | friendy | 19:48 |
| ubottu | friendy: Ubuntu 10.10 (Maverick Meerkat) was the thirteenth release of Ubuntu. !End-Of-Life on April 10th, 2012, see http://ubottu.com/y/maverick for details. | 19:48 |
| TLoT | just as an FYI | 19:48 |
| TLoT | kvothetech: okay, i am doing a clean install on a bare drive | 19:48 |
| TLoT | kvothetech: so first partition, about 100 megs, ext4? | 19:48 |
| friendy | Does this mean you can not or will not help me now :(? | 19:48 |
| kvothetech | TLoT: that's more than enough space but yeah.... | 19:49 |
| TLoT | friendy: it means that solving your solution is a bit more tricky | 19:49 |
| jhutchins_wk | kvothetech: gparted can expand partitions if there is available space. You need to make a backup any time you're messing with partitions though, and it's actually faster once you've made the backup to just repartition & restore. | 19:49 |
| TLoT | kvothetech: 50MB sufficient? | 19:49 |
| MonkeyDust | friendy you're asking for help with a beta system nobody has ever heard of on a ubuntu version that is no longer supported | 19:49 |
| garnet | keith_: It's a problem then. Anyway, it you are set on deleting OS X why you need rEFIt? You can just install GRUB from LiveCD (USB) on your hdd. | 19:49 |
| TLoT | friendy: also what MonkeyDust said | 19:49 |
| kvothetech | friendy: just find the packages with the versions it wants and install them. | 19:49 |
| friendy | I don't understand? I keep getting dependency stuff, like Dependency is not satisfiable: alien (>= 8.36) when I followed the link to the lsb and tried installing it. | 19:50 |
| kvothetech | TLoT: yeah 50mb is fine...mines 20 | 19:50 |
| andai | My computer won't boot. I had a similar problem before. It says there's no disk space, when I deleted stuff it worked fine. This time it continues to say there is no available disk space even when I delete stuff. I tried to check the filesystem but it keeps telling me it's still mounted (when I try to unmount it it tells me it's not mounted) | 19:50 |
| TLoT | kvothetech: i like keeping a tad extra space, i'll leave it at 50 then :P | 19:50 |
| TLoT | kvothetech: i used to do this in my sleep, but it was all ext3, since ext4 seems to be the standard nowadays... :P | 19:51 |
| friendy | As I literally have no clue what packages to which version it wants, it just wants lsb. I got that dependency error when tryin to install that, so...Mhm. | 19:51 |
| kvothetech | TLoT: yeah cant wait for the few bugs in btrfs to be fixed. | 19:51 |
| TLoT | friendy: i would suggest upgrading to a more supported release - 10.10 | 19:51 |
| Jpmh | I want to install ubuntu side-by-side with Windoze on a new compaq - problem is that compaq have set 4 partitions (at least I believe this is the problem) and so I have nowhere to install ubuntu - I need an idiots guide on how to expand/change the limit so ubuntu will install | 19:51 |
| Catbuntu | What happens if I use an unsupported Ubuntu version? | 19:51 |
| TLoT | 's no longer updated | 19:51 |
| Catbuntu | For example 10.10 | 19:51 |
| TLoT | Catbuntu: no security updates, repo issues, newer software FTBFS in it... | 19:51 |
| jhutchins_wk | friendy: Which version of Ubuntu are you running? | 19:51 |
| TLoT | etc. | 19:51 |
| kvothetech | friendly it tells you what version of what it wants when it errors.. | 19:51 |
| Catbuntu | But could I still install thingies from the repos? | 19:52 |
| andai | concisely: system won't boot, disk claims to be full, remains full when large files deleted, can't check it because it's "mounted", even though I unmount it | 19:52 |
| TLoT | Catbuntu: only old security-hole-riddled things | 19:52 |
| TLoT | !eol | Catbuntu | 19:52 |
| ubottu | Catbuntu: End-Of-Life is the time when security updates and support for an Ubuntu release stop, see https://wiki.ubuntu.com/Releases for more information. Looking to upgrade from an EOL release? See https://help.ubuntu.com/community/EOLUpgrades | 19:52 |
| keith_ | garnet: Ahh I thought I need it anyway | 19:52 |
| Catbuntu | thanks | 19:52 |
| TLoT | Catbuntu: you can use the 'oldreleases' repositories, but... | 19:52 |
| TLoT | Catbuntu: i strongly advise you use asupported softwrae | 19:52 |
| jhutchins_wk | andai: Need to boot to a different disk. | 19:52 |
| tigran | How can I move the min/max/close buttons to the left side in Unity/12.10? Or is this theme specific and not configurable? | 19:52 |
| kvothetech | friendy: linux is a lot like bsd in that the core packages and stuff need to be versioned around each other so it all works stabley... | 19:52 |
| Catbuntu | yep | 19:52 |
| jhutchins_wk | andai: Rescue disk | 19:52 |
| Catbuntu | I don't really like Unity. | 19:53 |
| garnet | keith_: My personal advice is simply not to waste your time and stick to OS X. | 19:53 |
| friendy | I am using Maverick... | 19:53 |
| kvothetech | Catbuntu: so don't use it. | 19:53 |
| Catbuntu | And nothing is lovely as Gnome 2 :( | 19:53 |
| andai | jhutchins_wk: It's a laptop. I have no different disk. Should I install ubuntu to a USB stick? | 19:53 |
| friendy | i would upgrade, but I got no USB or CD to use, unless they're is a third way. | 19:53 |
| Catbuntu | I'm using Cinnamon now | 19:53 |
| * jhutchins_wk goes to the web to look up Maveric... | 19:53 | |
| jhutchins_wk | andai: Yes, that should work. | 19:53 |
| kvothetech | friendy: you can update from a previous version just do dist-upgrade...or change the repo's do an update then upgrade... | 19:54 |
| andai | jhutchins_wk: When I have that set up, how do I fix it? | 19:54 |
| friendy | Well, I kinda would. But when I did Sudo apt-get update n the stuff | 19:54 |
| jhutchins_wk | andai: It's possible you have run out of inodes (df -i would show you). | 19:54 |
| kvothetech | friendy: note that second way you may want to do 1 release updateat a time and test what broke fix it then do it again... | 19:54 |
| friendy | IT just, kinda, said failed to fetch files | 19:54 |
| jhutchins_wk | friendy: The problem would appear to be that the package you're trying to install is not compatible with that older version of Ubuntu. | 19:54 |
| Catbuntu | Which is the more Gnome2-like desktop environment? | 19:54 |
| Catbuntu | (not MATE) | 19:54 |
| friendy | I see. | 19:54 |
| friendy | If I upgrade, it won't screw up my system, will it? | 19:55 |
| andai | jhutchins_wk: I'll check | 19:55 |
| jhutchins_wk | friendy: There's always that chance <grin>. | 19:55 |
| Lartza | Why is apt-get listing me crazy unmet dependencies? Like libkatepartinterfaces4, which I do not have? Trying to remove plymouth | 19:55 |
| kvothetech | friendy: usually it breaks a few things here and there but nothing unfixable | 19:55 |
| jhutchins_wk | friendy: Don't go directly from 10.10 to 12.10 though, step through each version. | 19:55 |
| friendy | Alright. I'll try upgrading then. Do I use the terminal or the GUI update tool? OR does not matter? | 19:55 |
| kvothetech | Catbuntu: gnome3 in the old view mode | 19:55 |
| jhutchins_wk | !upgrade | 19:55 |
| ubottu | For upgrading, see the instructions at https://help.ubuntu.com/community/UpgradeNotes - see also http://www.ubuntu.com/desktop/get-ubuntu/upgrade | 19:55 |
| kvothetech | friendy: i use the terminal....but you can use whatever you want. | 19:55 |
| friendy | Alright, how do I go to each step without a total skip to 12.10? OR does it do it for me, going by through each step? | 19:56 |
| Catbuntu | kvothetech, that worked fine on 12.04. | 19:56 |
| andai | jhutchins_wk: 3% IUSE | 19:56 |
| kvothetech | friendy: when you do the update it'll tell you. | 19:56 |
| jhutchins_wk | friendy: You need to do each step. Basically you change the sources.list to the next version name, update, upgrade, repeat. | 19:56 |
| andai | jhutchins_wk: interestingly, they all return the same number ( cause they're on the same drive? ) | 19:56 |
| Catbuntu | But on 12.10, when I click the window name on the window list, it just gets... highlighted? | 19:56 |
| Catbuntu | Using the Ambiance and Radiance themes. | 19:56 |
| friendy | Upgrade to 10.04 then. | 19:57 |
| Catbuntu | I think it's related to its new thingies and murrine engine. | 19:57 |
| MonkeyDust | friendy upgrading to each following version would take forever | 19:57 |
| zykotick9 | jhutchins_wk: warning, ubuntu doesn't use source.list to update to a new version! friendy | 19:57 |
| jhutchins_wk | MonkeyDust: it's not safe to jump major versions. | 19:57 |
| kvothetech | MonkeyDust: eh you don't have to but it doesn't take that much extra time and that way he can fix what broke in each update as he goes along | 19:57 |
| Catbuntu | Well, I'll see | 19:57 |
| Catbuntu | Bye | 19:57 |
| friendy | I got good net, though...Alright, I'm about to use the GUI tool to upgrade. Can I keep Skype/Games/Browser up while updating, or close everything, and do I go from version to version. | 19:58 |
| kvothetech | MonkeyDust: and he's not stuck with 100 bugs at once. | 19:58 |
| friendy | And restart after each update? | 19:58 |
| kvothetech | friendy: you don't have to. | 19:58 |
| jhutchins_wk | friendy: Yes. Please do read those guides before you start though.. | 19:58 |
| friendy | Guides? | 19:58 |
| friendy | I thought it was as simple as pressing a button, and it's all upgraded n nice ? | 19:59 |
| jhutchins_wk | kvothetech: Need to keep the system in sync with the kernel. | 19:59 |
| friendy | syn with kernel? Confused... | 19:59 |
| andai | jhutchins_wk: I tried to e2fsck the drive, it says device does not exist | 19:59 |
| andai | D: | 19:59 |
| kvothetech | jhutchins_wk: you don't have to restart to use a new kernel...eassiest method maybe but you don't have to. | 19:59 |
| jhutchins_wk | andai: fdisk -l | 19:59 |
| friendy | Alright, upgradin now :) | 19:59 |
| jhutchins_wk | andai: maybe it's called something else when booted to the USB> | 19:59 |
| andai | jhutchins_wk: cannot open /proc/partitions | 20:00 |
| jhutchins_wk | kvothetech: Hot patching a kernel is not usually within the average users's ability. | 20:00 |
| andai | jhutchins_wk: i'm not on USB yet, i'm trying to find it | 20:00 |
| zykotick9 | jhutchins_wk: andai you need to use "sudo fdisk -l" to see anything. sidenote "sudo parted -l" has better support. | 20:00 |
| tigran | How can I move the min/max/close buttons to the left side in Unity/12.10? Or is this theme specific and not configurable? | 20:01 |
| andai | zykotick9: thanks | 20:01 |
| jhutchins_wk | andai: Yeah, you do need to boot to the USB. | 20:02 |
| andai | zykotick9: parted -l, no output. parted, "error: no device found" | 20:02 |
| andai | Yeah, i'm screwed | 20:02 |
| jhutchins_wk | zykotick9: Yeah, I always forget sudo. | 20:02 |
| andai | can i use an ancient ubuntu cd | 20:02 |
| jhutchins_wk | zykotick9: fdisk is quick and easy (and what I remember). | 20:02 |
| jhutchins_wk | andai: What filesystem? | 20:02 |
| escott | andai, are you in a chroot? | 20:03 |
| mir_ | hi | 20:03 |
| jhutchins_wk | escott: He's on a corrupted system. | 20:04 |
| UlyssesGa | Hi there! I'm having a problem dual-booting Windows 8 and Ubuntu 12.04. Non-UEFI system (so no Secure boot). Each installation is on its own hard drive, with the Ubuntu drive being the set as the primary bootable device in the system BIOS. (grub2 also situated on linux drive). | 20:04 |
| zykotick9 | jhutchins_wk: i hear you! i feel like i've "grown up" with fdisk. for a laugh, read "man fdisk" on a debian system, and the "BUGS" section at the very bottom - VERY informative, including "fdisk is a buggy program that does fuzzy things", and suggests using fdisk as a last resort. | 20:04 |
| escott | jhutchins_wk, but that shouldnt prevent a file like /proc/partitions from existing | 20:04 |
| zink | hi all, simple question, but when I find downloads on launchpad, can I apt-get install them or do I have to download them and install manually? | 20:05 |
| andai | escott: I don't know the meaning of the word | 20:05 |

| UlyssesGa | If Win8 is set as the first bootable HD, it starts fine. If the Ubuntu drive is chosen as the 1st bootable drive and I attempt to boot to Win 8 from grub, Win8 immediately reboots. | 20:07 |
| escott | andai, can you paste the output of "mount" | 20:07 |
| escott | andai, in particular i want to know if proc is mounted on /proc and sysfs on /sys and udev on /dev | 20:08 |

| TLoT | in LTS! o.o | 20:09 |
| andai | escott: Yes, all of those | 20:09 |
| escott | andai, if proc is mounted on /proc then something should be listed in /proc | 20:10 |
| andai | escott: Yeah, well, as previously mentioned, nothing is behaving as expected :P | 20:10 |
| escott | andai, you are going to have to dig through dmesg to figure out what is going on | 20:12 |

| jhutchins_wk | andai: escott means well, but the first thing to do is to boot to some other media and check the disk. | 20:14 |
| jhutchins_wk | andai: The problem with "really old debian" is that it may not support ext4 | 20:14 |
| jhutchins_wk | andai: or you said really old ubuntu - same deal. | 20:14 |

| JonEdney | Is there a graphical way to monitor resource usage such as RAM, on Ubuntu Destkop? | 20:15 |
| andai | jhutchins_wk: I could mount it in Virtualbox and then install it to USB, but that would still have to be DSL or puppy cause it's a tiny USB | 20:15 |

| andai | jhutchins_wk: that was the first/main problem, I noticed the thing with the drive later | 20:25 |

| MonkeyDust | CT1 i guess the people in #ubuntustudio are more familiar with that sort of issues | 20:34 |
| jrib | droidboi: install xmonad, select xmonad from the session list at the login screen | 20:35 |

| droidboi | jrib: actually, I am running Mint 11 - and I make the Window Manager selection using the Login Admin Tool | 20:37 |

| jrib | skorpio: is there a reason you don't just upgrade to precise (12.04) since lucid will be unsupported by april anyway? I also don't see a lucid ppa for vlc 2. It could be that the dependencies are not satisfied for it (guess) | 20:37 |

| gskellig | installed aptitude and updated and it showed up in software center | 21:46 |
| llutz | !aptitude | gskellig | 21:46 |
| ubottu | gskellig: aptitude is another terminal-based front-end to APT. You may encounter problems on multiarch installs (11.10 and higher) as aptitude cannot currently handle the same package with different architectures being installed at the same time. See http://pad.lv/831768 for more information. | 21:46 |

| nomodeset | SonikkuAmerica: I want to change to my root status | 22:57 |
| nomodeset | Ramtron: You can call to microsoft | 22:57 |
| Ramtron | Why would I do that? | 22:58 |
| L3top | Ramtron: typically one would go to the websites of the hardware and download the drivers for the specific models. | 22:58 |
| SonikkuAmerica | nomodeset: use [ sudo -i ] | 22:58 |
| Ramtron | I can't, I can't install Windows 7 at all without drivers | 22:58 |
| SonikkuAmerica | nomodeset: Then you can mess with your machine as much as you want | 22:58 |

| Ben64 | !root | nomodeset | 22:59 |
| ubottu | nomodeset: Do not try to guess the root password, that is impossible. Instead, realise the truth... there is no root password. Then you will see that it is 'sudo' that grants you access and not the root password. Look at https://help.ubuntu.com/community/RootSudo | 22:59 |

| Ramtron | Can you please just help, instead? It's very important, no one's answering there | 23:02 |
| rypervenche | nomodeset: You can do "sudo -i" to get the same thing done. Otherwise, you can change it by doing "sudo passwd root" | 23:02 |

| Sara | i cannot erase all my files in ubuntu everytime i install windows | 23:14 |
| Ben64 | Sara: when you repaired windows or whatever you did, it erased the partition(s) for ubuntu | 23:14 |
| Ben64 | Sara: how many times do you need to install windows? | 23:15 |
| jhutchins_wk | Sara: Note that you need to install grub to the device such as /dev/sda, not a partition like /dev/sda1 | 23:15 |

| nomodeset | Sara: please be polite | 23:16 |
| jhutchins_wk | Sara: The recommended method is to install windows first, then install Ubuntu. This will allow Ubuntu's grub to manage booting to either windows or ubuntu. | 23:16 |

| L3top | Could very well be. File a bug. However I am not wasting my time supporting an unsupported OS | 23:21 |
| jhutchins_wk | Sara: Unless you have a seperate partition that's going to happen every time. | 23:21 |
| Sara | I have a seperate partition | 23:21 |
| Sara | ext 4 | 23:21 |
| Ben64 | Sara: just install ubuntu | 23:21 |
| Ben64 | you currently do not have an ext4 partition | 23:21 |
| jhutchins_wk | Sara: Is the partition still there? | 23:21 |
| tigran | do you know which package manages the displaying of the volume level when changing it via keyboard? | 23:21 |
| Ben64 | tigran: we cannot support mint here, sorry | 23:22 |
| Sara | ben I have done that last ime it erases my files in ubuntu i should begin from scrach | 23:22 |
| L3top | Sara, if you install windows AFTER *buntu on its own partition... you will have to update grub | 23:22 |
| tigran | Ben64: that's awesome, im not asking a question about mint | 23:22 |
| Sara | I can see the partions in windows | 23:22 |
| Ben64 | Sara: installing ubuntu doesn't erase files in ubuntu | 23:22 |
| Kurukuru | for some reason, I can't access PPA for super-boot-manager | 23:22 |
| k1l | tigran: last time. when using mint please use the mint support since they handle things differently | 23:22 |
| Sara | how l3top | 23:22 |
| Ben64 | Sara: especially when you don't have ubuntu installed | 23:22 |
| Celso | curently, i think windows dont see ext4 partitions | 23:22 |
| Kurukuru | 'pleasecheck your internet connection' | 23:23 |
| === tigran is now known as notonmint | ||
| L3top | Sara... windows cannot recognize a linux partition... how specifically do you "see" it | 23:23 |
| Kurukuru | internet is working fine | 23:23 |
| Sara | well then I install it differently . cause it did | 23:23 |
| jhutchins_wk | Sara: As long as you don't install Windows to the same partition as Ubuntu it won't erase your files, but it will overwrite grub. | 23:23 |
| Sara | right click on computer and manage | 23:23 |
| notonmint | In Ubuntu 12.10, which package manages the displaying of the volume level when changing it via keyboard, if anyone happens to know. | 23:23 |
| Celso | i doubt | 23:23 |
| L3top | Sara: Windows does not understand linux... linux understands windows. If you want to install both... install windows first, then linux. | 23:23 |
| Ben64 | notonmint: stop playing games, we can't help you | 23:23 |
| jhutchins_wk | Sara: It sounds like when you installed Windows you formated the ext4 partition. | 23:24 |
| jhutchins_wk | Sara: That means it's not ext4 any more. | 23:24 |
| L3top | Sara: going the other direction requires doing things which are time consuming. | 23:24 |
| Sara | when you have them both installed and you want to reinstall windows. how are you going to manage that L3top | 23:24 |
| Ben64 | lolseriously: don't make me drive to pomona | 23:25 |
| Sara | ext4 still there | 23:25 |
| lolseriously | damn you scary | 23:25 |
| Sara | windows cannot format in ext 4 | 23:25 |
| lolseriously | but seriously, no need to kick me.. | 23:25 |
| jhutchins_wk | Sara: Ok, if it's still there then you can boot to a rescue disk and restore grub. | 23:25 |
| lolseriously | I'm not asking about mint here | 23:25 |
| Celso | Sara, in wich OS you are? | 23:25 |
| Woozie | SonikkuAmerica, are you alive? | 23:25 |
| L3top | you reinstall windows on the recognized partition, then boot to a live disk... then chroot the install after binding a lot, then updating grub... | 23:25 |
| L3top | Sara: ^ | 23:25 |
| Sara | ubuntu 12.04 -windows 7 dual boot | 23:26 |
| SonikkuAmerica | Woozie: Of course I'm alive. Et tu, Brute? ::dies:: | 23:26 |
| nomodeset | L3top: Windows does not understand linux -> Windows does not want linux | 23:26 |
| Drumroll | windows doesn't understand windows | 23:26 |
| SonikkuAmerica | Woozie: Anyway, you're stuck in a console, right? | 23:26 |
| Celso | Sara, curently, you are using the ubuntu? Now? | 23:26 |
| L3top | Regardless of cause... their bootloader is not created to accept linux... so you must boot to windows via a linux boot loader | 23:26 |
| jhutchins_wk | Sara: You appear to be in Calgary. What is your native language? | 23:26 |
| Sara | from live usb celso | 23:26 |
| Woozie | Alright, just installed nvidia-current and rebooting | 23:27 |
| Sara | vancouver Persian why? | 23:27 |
| jhutchins_wk | Sara: We're having a little trouble understanding you, but we'll try harder. | 23:27 |
| L3top | Sarah... don't answer personal questions. One moment... | 23:27 |
| gmulak_ | Hello I am sure it is an oft asked question - but - I don't know the answer and could use some help. What Ubuntu distro will work best on an Atom Dual core processor with 1GB memory? | 23:27 |
| Woozie | SonikkuAmerica, yep, logged to console | 23:28 |
| jhutchins_wk | L3top: I was hoping we might find a native language channel, but not for Persian. | 23:28 |
| Celso | Sara, in ubuntu, open the computer folder and what do you see? | 23:28 |
| Sara | ok L3top you right | 23:28 |
| SonikkuAmerica | gmulak_: Just about anything, I'll bet. What's the speed of your Atom? | 23:28 |
| jhutchins_wk | Sara: Is there a reason you can't install grub from the console as has been suggested above? | 23:28 |
| histo | gmulak_: I'd run something like lubuntu or xubuntu | 23:28 |
| Ramtron | I give up. I have no drivers, how do I get them back on 12.04? | 23:28 |
| histo | gmulak_: lubuntu being the lightest | 23:28 |
| gmulak_ | sonikkuamerica - I am not sure. I knew you were going to ask... :-( | 23:28 |
| jhutchins_wk | gmulak_: No reason not to run ubuntu on that. | 23:29 |
| gmulak_ | histo - the latest distro? Which is? | 23:29 |
| L3top | I wasn't attempting to evaluate your reasons jhutchins_wk... just suggesting personal information is not ever necessary... I understand the language question... and a valid one... just... I dunno sayin. | 23:29 |
| Kurukuru | for some reason, I can't access PPA for super-boot-manager - anyone know why? | 23:29 |
| histo | gmulak_: All of the variations aare current. What sort of GPU do you have in that box? | 23:29 |
| jhutchins_wk | Ramtron: Drivers for what? | 23:29 |
| gmulak_ | histo - I have not heard of lubuntu -- I am going to take it to SCALE | 23:29 |
| Celso | By the way, when i open software center, isn't suposed to use de icon that already is on the bar and not opening another? or when open, it uses another icon? | 23:29 |
| Ramtron | Literally everything | 23:30 |
| SonikkuAmerica | Woozie: Type [ sudo jockey ] in the console and tell me what happens. | 23:30 |
| nomodeset | jhutchins_wk: windows | 23:30 |
| histo | gmulak_: What type of video card is it? | 23:30 |
| k1l | Kurukuru: the ppa is down? they have no packages for your release? | 23:30 |
| Sara | 640 GB hard disk acer- 640 harddisk system reserved- file system. celso | 23:30 |
| gmulak_ | histo - the GPU is not very powerful. Not a lot of graphic power | 23:30 |
| histo | gmulak_: take it to SCALE? | 23:30 |
| histo | gmulak_: What kind is it? Do you know? | 23:30 |
| Kurukuru | sudo add-apt-repository ppa:ingalex/super-boot-manager | 23:30 |

| Kurukuru | gives me an internet connection message | 23:31 |
| k1l | Kurukuru: pastebin the messages please | 23:31 |
| gmulak_ | histo - It's on a mini itx board I want to say a D2500? Does that sound right? | 23:31 |
| Ben64 | Sara: you currently do not have ubuntu installed on your computer, if you would like to dual boot, you need to install ubuntu | 23:31 |
| Celso | sara, isn't seperated in more partitions? | 23:31 |
| SonikkuAmerica | Woozie: Right. [ sudo jockey ] alone should give you a text-based version of the program. | 23:31 |
| histo | gmulak_: Doesn't really sound right. Is it intel based or nvidia? | 23:31 |
| gmulak_ | histo - Intel based | 23:32 |
| histo | gmulak_: Like i've seen atom boards with nvidia ion chips | 23:32 |

| Woozie | SonikkuAmerica: no such co | 23:32 |

| === Ubuntu is now known as Guest55594 | ||
| gmulak_ | histo - no, I do know that much, it is intel based | 23:32 |
| SonikkuAmerica | Woozie: OK, try [ sudo startx ] | 23:32 |
| histo | gmulak_: Let's put it this way it will run ubuntu. Your issue is going to be ram consumption. You could try to mitigate the issue by using a 32bit version | 23:32 |
| Sara | 300gb win 300gb ubuntu | 23:32 |
| Woozie | SonikkuAmerica, no such command | 23:32 |

| Brewster | Ok so a while ago I attemted to update my nvidia drivers not knowing my graphics card was supported. The update succeeded but I was left with a terminal log in screen. I wiped everything and reinstalled ubuntu but now I can't keep anything on for more than 10 minutes or my graphics card sizzles and I lose the display. If I turn everything off and wait a bit everything works fine for | 23:33 |
| Brewster | another 10 minutes. Does anyone have a clue as to how I might fix this? | 23:33 |
| gmulak_ | histo - OK. I don't think I can add ram. I know xubuntu - what is lubuntu? | 23:33 |

| Woozie | same as always | 23:33 |
| Celso | Sara, now enter on that 300 gb ubuntu partition and tell me what is inside. | 23:33 |
| histo | gmulak_: lubuntu is lxde based | 23:34 |
| Brewster | on top of that I would like to ask: Does nvidia have problems with ubuntu or does ubuntu have problems with nvidia? | 23:34 |
| SonikkuAmerica | Woozie: Hmmm... | 23:34 |
| gmulak_ | OK - cool Thank you very much! | 23:34 |

| nomodeset | where can i enable transparencies ? | 23:34 |
| Brewster | oh wasn't* | 23:35 |
| Celso | Sara, but i would advise you to grab a live cd or usb and to reinstall the ubuntu again | 23:35 |
| Brewster | daftykins: well I switched back to the drivers that I previously had nvidia-current-updates | 23:35 |
| daftykins | Brewster: do you know your card? | 23:35 |
| Sara | cannot mount it celso it does not find ubuntu partions anymore | 23:35 |

| Kurukuru | k1l, http://pastebin.ca/2309094 | 23:36 |
| histo | gmulak_: just make sure you use 32bit version with that little ram. Also what is SCALE? | 23:36 |
| Celso | it only says 600gb? | 23:36 |
| Brewster | daftykins: geforce 7950... I didn't get the memo that they stopped making linux drivers for geforce 7 | 23:36 |
| xius | so I'm trying to install 12.04 onto a partition on my mac. when I ran the installer, it encounter an error when installing grub. I decided to restart my computer holding alt to boot back into os x to research the problem, except rEFIt didn't load. | 23:36 |
| Brewster | and that is the only graphics card on the computer | 23:36 |
| Woozie | SonikkuAmerica, any ideas? | 23:36 |
| k1l | Kurukuru: check the url that is mentioned in that errormsg | 23:37 |
| k1l | Kurukuru: the ppa seems gone | 23:37 |
| Ben64 | Brewster: you need to use a 304.xx driver for that | 23:37 |
| jhutchins_wk | Sara: Is there a reason you can't install grub from the console as has been suggested above? | 23:37 |
| SonikkuAmerica | Woozie: I've never used the NVIDIA drivers; I've been confident with Nouveau. | 23:37 |
| Kurukuru | k1l: So what are my options? | 23:37 |
| Brewster | I know | 23:37 |
| Ben64 | jhutchins_wk: there is no ubuntu installed on the computer | 23:37 |
| Sara | where is it suggested? | 23:37 |
| daftykins | brb | 23:38 |

| L3top | Sara: load an ubuntu live disk... once loaded, please pastebin the output of mount | 23:38 |
| Ben64 | jhutchins_wk, Sara: installing grub won't help without installing ubuntu first | 23:38 |

| histo | Sara: Wait recover what files? | 23:39 |
| Kurukuru | k1l: looks fine to me | 23:39 |

| Ben64 | histo: they're* and yes they are. there is no ext4 partition remaining | 23:40 |
| nomodeset | exit | 23:40 |
| SonikkuAmerica | Woozie: Really. | 23:40 |
| jhutchins_wk | Ben64: There seems to be disagreement. She had it installed, then she installed Windows. Windows won't overwrite Ubuntu unless you try really hard. | 23:40 |
| Kurukuru | k1l: whoops yeah, just caught that.. thanks | 23:40 |
| L3top | Sara: unless you overwrote the partition... they are NOT gone... you simply cannot boot to Ubuntu to access and use them. You need to boot to an Ubuntu LIVE disk... then type sudo fdisk -l... and I can tell you what is what. | 23:40 |
| histo | Ben64: So the files are still there | 23:40 |
| Sara | I repartioned when i installed ubuntu in dual boot with win 7 | 23:40 |

| SonikkuAmerica | Woozie: So going to Ubuntu 12.10 causes your NVIDIA card to go bonkers. | 23:42 |
| Guest1093 | @seek alastair reynolds | 23:42 |
| histo | Sara: Please listen to me. Boot a ubuntu live cd imediately. Install the testdisk package. Use photorec to scan the drive and recover your files. If they are that necessary. If you can deal with losing them then it's not worh the time. | 23:43 |
| Woozie | SonikkuAmerica, no, i wanted to say that I was trying to use 12.04. Only distros that fully works are these with 2.6 kernel | 23:44 |
| L3top | Sara, it appears as though you have chunked your linux install. | 23:44 |
| L3top | histo: if it was an ext4 partition... I find your advice unusable... | 23:44 |
| jhutchins_wk | histo: Does it occur to you to wonder how the files got erased? | 23:44 |
| histo | L3top: IT IS NOT | 23:44 |
| histo | you people really need to understand data recovery tools. | 23:44 |
| Sara | why i do that eveytime install windows. I did exactly what was written on boot repair page | 23:45 |
| jhutchins_wk | L3top: It does not appear that she has a valid ubuntu partition. | 23:45 |
| L3top | Sara: it has to do with the options you select for the windows install | 23:45 |
| L3top | Correct jhutchins_wk | 23:45 |
| jhutchins_wk | L3top: Check the pastebin. | 23:45 |
| Sara | all recommended option ididnot change anything | 23:46 |
| L3top | histo... I am familiar. actual recovery on ext3+ is... a time vampire... and never works. In my experience. | 23:46 |
| histo | Sara: if you told windows to use the entire disk this would have happened. Also windows overwrote the mbr. | 23:46 |
| histo | L3top: if you scna a drive sector by sector for headers of a file it doesn't really matter. You're not understanding. | 23:46 |
| jhutchins_wk | histo: Note that there are two NTFS partitions. That's not standard. | 23:46 |
| Celso | Sara, with 2 partitions, one for windows (ntfs) and other for ubuntu (ext4), when reinstalling windows, you only need to choose ntfs partition. never touch on the ext4 partition. | 23:47 |
| histo | jhutchins_wk: windows 7 uses a boot partition | 23:47 |
| Sara | windows does not ask about partition its preload | 23:47 |
| L3top | histo: the partition is gone. recovering an ext4 after a windows partition... is a thing of legend. | 23:47 |
| histo | L3top: No it's not. | 23:47 |
| jhutchins_wk | Sara: Are you using a Windows install disk or are you using a system restore disk from the manufacturer? | 23:47 |
| L3top | histo: source. | 23:48 |
| jhutchins_wk | histo: MSCE here, I agree with L3top | 23:48 |
| === gary_ is now known as Guest55199 | ||
| histo | L3top: I should clarify. You are talking about recovering the partition. That will be an issue. But carving files out is not. | 23:48 |
| daftykins | MCSE too? :) | 23:48 |
| Brewster | so... | 23:48 |
| histo | L3top: since she asked how do i recover my files. I was explaining how. | 23:48 |
| Sara | no disk . its preload on my computer I boot into windows installation using alt+F# | 23:48 |
| Brewster | any words of advice? | 23:48 |
| jhutchins_wk | daftykins: And dyslexic to boot! | 23:49 |
| jhutchins_wk | Bingo. | 23:49 |
| daftykins | jhutchins_wk: :) | 23:49 |
| L3top | histo, the files were wiped by a windows install... the partition is no longer there... this is not a recovery issue anymore imo. | 23:49 |
| Sara | and yes its from manufacturer | 23:49 |
| histo | Sara: Yeah that will blow out any partitions you previously created. They usually work by disk image | 23:49 |
| Celso | problem is detected XD | 23:49 |
| jhutchins_wk | Sara: That restore process is what's killing ubuntu - it's putting the disk back the way it was when you got it. | 23:49 |
| histo | L3top: You are missinformed. Only some of the files have been replaced. | 23:49 |
| Sara | yeah i just need to know how to prevent it for next time | 23:50 |
| histo | L3top: mostlike the files for the linux system not /home | 23:50 |
| L3top | THE PARTITION TABLE IS... | 23:50 |
| L3top | sigh | 23:50 |
| L3top | histo: source. | 23:50 |
| jhutchins_wk | Sara: You should be able to reinstall Ubuntu, but if you run that restore again it will be gone again. | 23:50 |
| histo | L3top: WHO CARES ABOUT THE PARTITION TABLE HAS NOTHING TO DO WITH FILES | 23:50 |
| Ben64 | everyone, relax | 23:50 |
| L3top | histo: soruce | 23:50 |
| L3top | source* | 23:50 |
| jhutchins_wk | Sara: You need some other way to restore Windows if you need to do it and keep Ubuntu. | 23:50 |
| Ben64 | histo: recovery is a dubious proposition at best | 23:50 |
| histo | Ben64: L3top I will bet you both 1k that I can recover files from that drive. | 23:51 |
| Celso | Ben64, I have beer, eurodance music, so, more relaxed than this is impossible :P | 23:51 |
| jhutchins_wk | histo: The Windows restore wrote over the Ubuntu partition. | 23:51 |
| Ben64 | even if some files still remain, they're likely to be fragmented and unusable | 23:51 |
| daftykins | A lot of you right now are making the person asking the question suffer by enduring your little domestic rant. Go and walk around for a while to calm down and let someone else take over so you're no longer letting your personality get in the way. | 23:51 |
| histo | jhutchins_wk: Yeap I know. | 23:51 |
| Sara | wll im trying testtdisk for now | 23:51 |
| jhutchins_wk | histo: No point in attempting recovery at this point. | 23:51 |
| SonikkuAmerica | Here, let me step in. | 23:52 |
| jhutchins_wk | Sara: testdisk is not going to help. | 23:52 |
| histo | Ben64: L3top jhutchins_wk This is what I do for a living but go ahead and missinform people. | 23:52 |
| histo | jhutchins_wk: but photorec will | 23:52 |
| SonikkuAmerica | What's the deal here? | 23:52 |
| L3top | histo: source. (ps you are not a source) | 23:52 |
| jhutchins_wk | Sara: Let me explain again: The restore process os what killed Ubuntu. Ubuntu isn't there any more. | 23:52 |
| Ben64 | histo: i'm not misinforming anyone | 23:52 |
| histo | L3top: google file carving | 23:52 |
| histo | This is not some new technology. | 23:52 |
| jhutchins_wk | Sara: You can re-install Ubuntu, but if you restore Windows it will destroy Ubuntu again. | 23:52 |
| histo | Windows merely overwrote some of the disk. Most likely the first part where windows was already installed | 23:53 |
| Woozie | !google | histo | 23:53 |
| ubottu | histo: 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. | 23:53 |
| L3top | histo: to ask for a source, cannot be adequetely fulfilled by asking me to find your source. | 23:53 |
| SonikkuAmerica | What is this talk of destroying Ubuntu? | 23:53 |
| === Sora1995|Cloud is now known as Sora1995|Cubing | ||
| jhutchins_wk | SonikkuAmerica: Windows system restore. | 23:53 |
| xius | so I'm trying to install 12.04 onto a partition on my mac. when I ran the installer, it encounter an error when installing grub. I decided to restart my computer holding alt to boot back into os x to research the problem, except rEFIt didn't load. | 23:53 |
| SonikkuAmerica | jhutchins_wk, that won't destroy Ubuntu. | 23:53 |
| histo | I really dont' care belive what you want to believe. If you are too lazy to google data carving I really can't help. I don't have the time or the patience to argue with you all anymore. | 23:53 |
| frowni | Can someone help me with slowing the mouse a bit :) | 23:53 |
| jhutchins_wk | SonikkuAmerica: Yes, in this case at least, it restores the original partitions and reimages them. | 23:54 |
| histo | !info scalpel | L3top jhutchins_wk Ben64 | 23:54 |
| Woozie | SonikkuAmerica, Sara restored Windows fron recovery partition | 23:54 |
| ubottu | L3top jhutchins_wk Ben64: scalpel (source: scalpel): A Frugal, High Performance File Carver. In component universe, is optional. Version 1.60-1build1 (quantal), package size 33 kB, installed size 115 kB | 23:54 |
| frowni | Mouse settings are at the lowest speed already, but it's still fast. | 23:54 |
| SonikkuAmerica | Like a factory image? | 23:54 |
| histo | !info testdisk | L3top jhutchins_wk Ben64 | 23:54 |
| ubottu | L3top jhutchins_wk Ben64: testdisk (source: testdisk): Partition scanner and disk recovery tool. In component universe, is optional. Version 6.13-1ubuntu1 (quantal), package size 516 kB, installed size 1201 kB | 23:54 |
| histo | Hey also includes photorec in the testdisk package. | 23:54 |
| Sara | so how can i install windows without erasing ubuntu partions? | 23:54 |
| Ben64 | SonikkuAmerica: yes, a factory recovery cd/dvd | 23:54 |
| histo | I have to go for a bit. | 23:54 |
| histo | brb | 23:54 |
| SonikkuAmerica | Oh. | 23:54 |
| jhutchins_wk | histo: Please stop. Unless she had personal data on the system it's much smarter to just reinstall. | 23:54 |
| Ben64 | Sara: why do you need to install windows so often? | 23:54 |
| jhutchins_wk | Ben64: because Windows. | 23:55 |
| Sara | I got a virus this time | 23:55 |
| Ben64 | windows 7 isn't as bad about stuff like that anymore | 23:55 |
| gmulak_ | histo: SCALe is Southern California Linux Expo - Here: http://www.socallinuxexpo.org/scale11x | 23:55 |
| Sara | and my autocad stoped working | 23:55 |
| Ben64 | Sara: you should use antivirus software in windows :) | 23:55 |
| blunted | Is it a bug if a package pushback breaks my hosting companies kernel config? I think there is a bug here but not sure | 23:55 |
| Celso | frowni, wireless mouse? | 23:55 |
| Sara | I do avast | 23:55 |
| gskellig | brightness buttons still not working on my laptop. Anybody have ideas? ubuntu 12.10, asus UL30vt laptop | 23:55 |
| daftykins | Sara: do you download illegal stuff on it all the time or something? | 23:55 |
| Woozie | Formatting a HDD isn't a way to delete viruses | 23:56 |
| gskellig | the OSD goes up and down but the brightness stays the same | 23:56 |
| Sara | nope. | 23:56 |
| frowni | Celso, nope, wired | 23:56 |
| frowni | Celso, wired hp mouse | 23:56 |
| Sara | dafty what kind of question is that | 23:56 |
| frowni | celso, plain simple one :P | 23:56 |
| daftykins | a genuine one | 23:56 |
| Celso | gskelling, your graphics card? | 23:56 |
| Celso | ok frowni, wait a minute | 23:56 |
| daftykins | Sara: i just don't see win7 getting affected that often | 23:56 |
| gskellig | GT218M and also intel HD1000 | 23:56 |
| SonikkuAmerica | Sara: See my message query. | 23:56 |
| Celso | ok frowni, see this page http://askubuntu.com/questions/133611/how-do-i-slow-down-my-wireless-mouse?rq=1 | 23:57 |
| Celso | wich one you are using gskellig? | 23:57 |
| L3top | histo... familiar... packages are not sources. I do forensic data recovery. I use helix primarily. I am familiar with carving. You are unable to provide a "how to" sort of source... because there isn't one, once ext4 is overwritten by windows. We are in different animal territory. | 23:57 |
| gskellig | celso well, I want to use both. With bumblebee (nvidia optimus for linux) | 23:58 |
| jhutchins_wk | Sara: Since the windows restore is always going to kill Ubuntu (unless you put ubuntu on a seperate drive), you need an alternative method like a good image backup - easy to do from Ubuntu. | 23:58 |
| gskellig | but by default use the intel one | 23:58 |
| L3top | It CAN be done... but... you need equipment and time and skill... at this point... this is not sound advice... and I do not accept at face value, you have it. | 23:58 |
| Celso | ok. i am not very familiar with the bumblebee stuff but try this: http://askubuntu.com/questions/123604/how-do-i-make-screen-dimming-work-in-ubuntu-12-04-beta-2 | 23:58 |
| jhutchins_wk | Sara: I would recommend using avg instead of avast for anti-virus. The windows system protection stuff is pretty good too. | 23:58 |
| Celso | i curently use vgaswitcheroo. | 23:58 |
| Woozie | SonikkuAmerica, thanks for help, got to go and crowl Internet for fixes, bye :] | 23:59 |
| blunted | Optimus on Linux, yayayaya thank you sara | 23:59 |
| Celso | frowni, did it worked? | 23:59 |
| gskellig | is vgaswitcheroo updated recently? | 23:59 |
| gskellig | I'm up for anything to be honest | 23:59 |
| gskellig | as long as its easy to use | 23:59 |
