[00:00] drivers** [00:01] I didn't follow what you mean about the tab [00:01] it's in ubuntu software center? [00:02] capoderra, no software SOURCES. [00:02] not center. [00:02] in the Dash type Software Sources [00:02] If I have two network interfaces connected to the internet; eth0 and eth1; How do I choose which interface that is preferred? As in which interface that Firefox will use? [00:02] JPeterson: I know top men. That's all I'll say. [00:03] I did again, and it gave me software center. [00:03] gustav_: dont feed the drama in here, please. lets stick to the technical support. [00:04] capoderra, then try from "System Settings" under the System area [00:04] capoderra, system settings from dash [00:05] right, I've tried that and it says no proprietary drivers are in use on this system. [00:05] capoderra, then there may not be one available === KindOne- is now known as KindOne [00:05] capoderra: what type of video card do you have? [00:05] perhaps someone else can chime in. is that an older card? [00:06] nvidia geforce m330 I think [00:06] capoderra: nvm I just looked through scroll back. sudo apt-get install nvidia-current [00:06] capoderra: can you pastbin a "lspci" ? [00:06] histo, he is in a liveUSB env [00:07] phunyguy: so. Isn't he trying ot install nvidia drivers? [00:07] he just wants t oknow if it would work after an install [00:07] i'm confused [00:07] since it doesnt work on the LiveUSB [00:07] phunyguy: then he can install them in the usb environment [00:07] histo, wont that require a reboot? [00:07] phunyguy: Well he could rmmod the nouveau and modpobe the nvidia with out rebooting from a console. [00:08] fair enough [00:08] phunyguy: Not sure if that works though. Never tried it. Assuming it would though. [00:08] Yes, it works. [00:08] capoderra: Your card works with ubuntu [00:08] I'm sure it does, but it's not showing up on this live USB [00:08] ( that is, rmmod nouveau and then modprobe nvidia-current works ) [00:09] capoderra: to answer your question. Nvidia open source drivers are kind of screwy atm. So you need to install binary drivers if you want nvidia's version. More info can be found at the link provided by ubottu [00:09] !nvidia | capoderra [00:09] capoderra: For Ati/NVidia/Matrox video cards, see https://help.ubuntu.com/community/VideoDriverHowto [00:09] !hcl | capoderra also check this out [00:09] capoderra also check this out: For lists of supported hardware on Ubuntu see https://wiki.ubuntu.com/HardwareSupport - To help debugging and improving hardware detection, see https://wiki.ubuntu.com/DebuggingHardwareDetection [00:09] widad-charai: alo? [00:10] widad-charai: alo? [00:10] ok, I opened up the links... will do some reading now and come back if I need anything else [00:10] thnx for the help all [00:10] np [00:10] #bel3atar: salam [00:10] bel3atar, do you need something? [00:10] phunyguy: I need to uninstall ubuntu? [00:11] so uninstall it. [00:11] bel3atar: What else do you have installed on yoru hard drive? [00:11] phunyguy: how do I remove grub and keep ntldr? [00:11] histo: windows [00:11] * phunyguy gives way to the others that know window swell [00:12] windows well* [00:12] bel3atar: use the windows cd and repair the windows bootloader [00:12] k1l_: and that would keep my data? === slank is now known as slank_away [00:12] ahh, I have a GeForce 310M [00:12] bel3atar: that installs the windows bootloader in the MBR instead of the grub. but you cant boot any linux after that from the windows bootloader [00:13] bel3atar: okay well you can delete the ubuntu partition expand the windows one. and fixmbr from teh windows install cd [00:13] histo: I don't think xp cd has that [00:14] bel3atar: if it doesn't have fixmbr then you fdisk /mbr [00:14] anyone here have experience installing Ubuntu Server onto a VPS with 128MB of RAM ?? [00:14] bel3atar: sure does every windows cd got that fixmbr [00:14] in /var/log/syslog there's a 'Feb 5 01:13:01 ubuntu cron[43167]: (user) RELOAD (crontabs/user)', how do i do this reload manually? [00:14] bel3atar: oldway was fdisk /mbr c: new way is fixmbr c: [00:15] bel3atar: if you are unsure better ask the windows support what exactly you need to type and what kind of cd you need. [00:15] JPeterson: Look at the scripts that service runs. [00:16] gustav_: what's the path to the script? [00:16] JPeterson: Might be /etc/rc.* [00:17] JPeterson: /etc/init.d. [00:17] I lost my licence number who will be nice and help me out install free ubuntu [00:19] annagoodheart, Ubuntu doesn't need a licence number.

[00:26] ok [00:26] capoderra, do you have terminal and software centre/synaptic open ? close softwarecentre before using terminal to install [00:27] Quick question.. What are the mayor differences betwheen 12.04 LTS and 12.10 [00:28] EmLeX: newer software and kernels. 12.04 is a lts and is considered to be more stable with way longer support times [00:28] Grub mysteriously added a new boot menu option "Previous Linux versions". How do i get rid of that? [00:29] Is there any new method for viewing 2012 BluRays on Ubuntu? [00:29] hpuser4466, by removing old kernels [00:29] hpuser4466: uninstall old kernel packages "linux-image-..." [00:29] hpuser4466, carefull, you need to keep the current and the one before this one [00:29] hi, i'm using 12.10 and ATI graphic card... i've installed compiz, and when i install fglrx driver, my desktop dissapears... any help? [00:29] I closed software center, but it still won't run. [00:30] Hi, I am using nemo with cinnamon, the desktop icons are not showing even though they exist but seem to be invisible any idea why? [00:30] OerHeks: there is only need for one kernel [00:30] !mint | FluxD [00:30] FluxD: Linux Mint is not a supported derivative of Ubuntu. Please seek support in #linuxmint-help on irc.spotchat.org [00:30] FluxD, nemo? [00:30] ahh. [00:30] FluxD: mint and cinnamon are not supported here. better ask the mint guys [00:31] k1l_, no, the one before current is needed for recovery, you will get an error when you try :-D [00:31] phunyguy, nautilus fork for cinnamon [00:31] ok. i suppose the /lib folder will tell me which kernels are in use? [00:32] FluxD, on Mint, right? [00:32] how do i know which kernels to delete? [00:32] OerHeks: hmm, did remove all the kernels before the last one. but never used the recover in that times [00:32] phunyguy, I am using it on ubuntu with their ppa [00:32] hpuser4466: take a look at what kernel are in /boot [00:32] same thing, FluxD [00:32] FluxD: like i told: see their support [00:32] k1l_, yep got it, I was just talking to phunyguy === kevin is now known as Guest18663 [00:33] hey all. what was that application that would auto-move windows to different X displays when moving to a side of the screen? === Guest18663 is now known as knightrage [00:33] Usually you can doudo apt-get autoclean and it will delete your old kernels (actually all outdated packages [00:33] * sudo apt-get autoclean [00:34] OerHeks. ok thanks. I notice i have 3.2.0-23-generic, 3.2.0-36-generic & 3.2.0-37-generic. [00:36] and autoremove is deleting headers for 3.2.0-36 [00:37] I rebooted and grub still shows the previous linux option. Autoremove must have missed something. I'm guessing i remove the oldest kernel 3.2.0-23 [00:38] hrrrm [00:38] I'm having a little trouble with a drupal install, maybe it has something to do with apache... on my local ubuntu 12.04 box I have mod_rewrite and drupals cleanurl's working seemingly fine, no issues. When I set my default vhost to point to the drupal directory and visit from another box on the lan by IP#, I can get to the home page but not any others via cleanurl. The native drupal node numbering works though. My apache error log ha [00:38] t full path to /mypath..../drupaldir/news for the news alias, but says File Not Found. Ideas? [00:38] also: "RewriteBase /" is active in .htaccess (this is the usual case for this trouble) [00:38] hpuser4466, did you do autoremove or autoclean?> [00:39] phunguy. autoremove. [00:39] hpuser4466, OerHeks saud autoclean [00:39] said* [00:39] hello everyone [00:39] not autoremove. [00:39] i was wondering too, phunyguy [00:40] oh, sorry, i'll do autoclean. [00:40] autoclean updates your grub2 too, afaik. [00:40] I have a problem. Recipe B after recipe A depends on user created in recipe A (homedir = node[:etc][:passwd][user][:dir]) but at the time Recipe B is compiled, "user" variable does not reference any user in the ohai data. [00:40] how to fix? [00:40] I found a page that explains how to solve my video card problem, but the guy was using 10.04 when he wrote the post... should I assume that it should work on 12.10? [00:42] capoderra, what videocard & what problem, and show us the post you found? === sarsaeol_ is now known as sarsaeol [00:43] sudo apt-get utoclean didn't remove the grub entry for "previous linux versions". Can i delete this entry without deleting the kernels? I really don't want to delete the kernels incase it corrupts my system which is working fine right now. [00:44] *autoclean [00:45] nevermind, I figured it out. === asfsdfds is now known as JoshuaK [00:47] capoderra: Post the solution you found anyway, this channel is logged and it may help someone later. [00:49] thanks over the past few days to everyone who helped me get past the initial shock of leaving my windows nest to figure out how to spawn a 12.10 environment when my 11.04 environment broke down. Fortunetely, I can continue using 11.04 as there was a backup... however, I have a new respect for unity new [00:49] is chrooting essentially pointless with sudo being the default security method? [00:49] guideX: upgrade as 11.04 is no longer supported :) [00:49] -new [00:50] I tried to, but it's a little impracticle right now.. my 11.04 is working flawlessly again, I see no need to upgrade here at work, as 12.10 is too slow for dev work without a 3d accellerated card, but at home I'm contemplating using 12.10 as my main os [00:51] it's just too painfully slow on this video card [00:51] !chroot [00:51] A chroot is used to make programs believe that the directory they are running in is really the root directory. It can be used to stop programs accessing files outside of that directory, or for compiling 32bit applications in a 64bit environment - see https://help.ubuntu.com/community/BasicChroot [00:51] but at home I have a 3d accellerated card, so I will be thinking about it there :) [00:52] it is an outdated version of linux [00:52] Ubuntu 10.04 fails to have internet. No wlan , eth0 is present but when plugged into router no internet connection is established. Happens on all of my PCs. [00:52] 11.04 [00:52] oh sorry [00:52] guideX: you know that if unity is a bit heavy for you, you can install any other edition of 12.10 right? :) [00:52] I was unsatisfied with gnome shell and gnome3, and xfce [00:53] I like gnome 2, I wish I could still run it [00:53] on 12.10 [00:53] chamunks: Not at all, it's very useful to use on a liveCD when you need to install packages to the existing filesystem on the HD. [00:53] guideX: use MATE or Cinnamon then [00:53] I do like unity, when it works well.. [00:53] I wish unity had a "no 3d bs" mode [00:54] I like what it "brings to the table" [00:54] How do I know if my graphics card is working? [00:54] my big holdup with the windows move is call of duty black ops and black ops2 [00:54] how do I kill zombies from linux? [00:54] kunji: thats an interesting concept [00:54] guideX..i use ubuntu-mini.iso you can build a lightweight distro by choosing ubuntu-lxde-desktop from the menu. Works fine on limited hardware. [00:54] Ok, so I got the openswan vpn client installed, but I can't get the L2TP/IPSec VPN to connect. The settings I've used works on Windows, but I get either 500 (timeout) or 300 (failed to negotiate or establish security associations). Has anyone had any success with this? [00:55] chamunks: I'm relatively new to the unix/linux world, as far as I understand it's the primary use of chroot [00:55] How big should the / partition for ubuntu? [00:56] 30 gb [00:56] How do I know if my graphics card is working? [00:56] capoderra, do you see icons? haha [00:56] we dont have 30GB to play with [00:56] capoderra, apt-get install mesa-utils then open the terminal and type: glxgears [00:57] give you some idea of framrate [00:57] hey folks [00:57] For some reason my 12.10 is going freakishly slow... [00:57] antonio_, i've been having the same issue [00:58] Lots of hangs..and if I try to open any links in thunderbird it takes FOREVER for them to load up...how can I diagnose this? [00:58] figured it was just me [00:58] whats it doing? [00:58] I say 3dis it in a vm [00:58] ? [00:58] antonio_: is it in a vm? [00:58] nope [00:59] I ran glxgears and it keeps telling me the frames per second. so my card works? [00:59] capoderra, yes. how many fps you get? [00:59] about 850 FPS [00:59] not too bad then [01:00] a decent card gives you thousands of fps. crappy video about 60fps [01:00] Interesting. [01:00] antonio_: are you using unity? [01:00] the thing that comes with ubuntu 12.10? [01:00] I'm running 12.04 from a live USB... graphics works, wireless works... anything else I should check before installing? [01:00] it's possible your video card isn't powerful enough, or you need a driver [01:01] unity has a lot of 3d fx [01:01] I'm running 12.10 on a laptop - could be why i'm having my issues [01:01] I'm running on a laptop [01:01] are there any ways to diagnose a slow system? [01:02] i have issues with centos also, to the point of video flickering with or without the proprietary driver [01:02] what kind of video card do you have antonio_? [01:02] can someone help me get synapse to open files again? Installing xfce/thunar screwed up my launch settings for synapse. [01:02] not sure [01:03] guidex: how can I find out? [01:03] antonio_, what make and model is it? a google search will usually tell you [01:03] dforthman: any term command to find out? [01:03] capoderra. Check audio. Audio can be unpredictable on older pcs. [01:04] lspci, but it may or may not give you anything you need [01:04] antonio_: what kind of laptop? [01:04] you can give me the model? [01:04] dell inspiron [01:04] ah ok [01:04] that's probably has a crappy video card [01:04] onboard video [01:04] what's a sure way to check the audio? [01:04] which will give you poor performance with unity [01:05] get gnome shell or xfce, or a new video card :D [01:05] capoderra: check the audio for what? [01:05] how to run .run file? [01:05] i have installation with .run [01:05] hardware check before installing [01:05] capoderra: Did you try and boot a live cd? What problem did you have? [01:05] I've got an acer v3-551-8887, proprietary ati driver crashes unity and the audio has a lot of static in it [01:05] or you could do like me, and suffer with unity's slowness [01:05] my pc can't run unity well either [01:05] capoderra: Just go online and and find some audio to play and see if you can hear it. [01:05] phong_: ./file.run - assuming it's already executable [01:06] oh [01:06] !notunity | guideX antonio_ [01:06] guidex: how can I fix this without getting a new video card? [01:06] guideX antonio_: 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 [01:06] my work pc anyways [01:06] this is a live USB, 12.04, no problems per say, just want to make sure it will all work before installing [01:06] phong_: prefix with sudo if it needs admin privs === dirtypillows is now known as ShameSpiral [01:06] antonio_: What issue are you having? [01:06] a youtube video played, that counts? [01:06] capoderra: Yep [01:06] histo: slow system [01:06] capoderra: well does audio work right now? [01:06] antonio_: What type of video card do you have? [01:07] antonio_: and what versions of ubuntu are you using [01:07] he has onboard video [01:07] 12.10 [01:07] onboard video [01:07] antonio_: lspci will give you the chipset [01:07] hi guys, how can i get out of X then install nvidia driver? [01:07] capoderra: Unless you were looking to do something more advanced, like audio mixing in real time or something (in which case maybe look at Ubuntu Studio instead). [01:07] it ask i need to exit out of X then install nvidia video driver [01:07] how to exit to X ? [01:07] capoderra: Yes then your audio is working. [01:08] anyone is helping me? [01:08] phong_: ctrl+alt+F1 [01:08] here is my pastebin histo: [01:08] phong_: don't know why you want to exit though. [01:08] http://pastebin.com/SCkayaPY [01:08] I've got an acer v3-551-8887, proprietary ati driver crashes unity and the audio has a lot of static in it. [01:08] guidex: if I install the gnome shell should it make everything run much faster? [01:09] antonio_: Same chipset here what other types of specs do you ahve ex: ram and cpu? [01:09] antonio_: Umm, if you want it to run fast use LXDE [01:09] antonio_: where are you experiencing the "slowness"? [01:11] histo: just seems buggy. When trying to open links from thunderbird to firefox it can take forever [01:11] antonio_: So firefox opens slow? [01:11] hey, i'm trying to install lubuntu in a weird way, how do i force the installer to search /dev/sda2 instead of /dev/sr0 for CDs? [01:12] sometimes trying to alt tab from program to program takes a while as well [01:12] antonio_: What version of ubuntu are you running? [01:12] I've got an acer v3-551-8887, proprietary ati driver crashes unity and the audio has a lot of static in it. [01:12] GreaseMonkey: It would help if we knew what this way you're attempting is [01:12] antonio_: also what kernel 32bit or 64bit uname -a will show you.

[01:14] how do start window back after installation of nivida [01:14] i just want to force the installer to read the files from partition 2 of the hard disk, and not a bloody CD-ROM [01:14] phong_, you should probably switch to singleuser mode (runlevel 1) [01:14] guidex: does the gnome shell strip out all of the fancy features? [01:14] no idea what u're talking about [01:14] i'm new to ubuntu [01:15] Hi, is there an easy way to get the list of the installed programs and probably their dotfiles? [01:15] i basically want to install nvidia driver download from nvidia.cm [01:15] phong_: Excuse my typo. sudo stop lightdm that will stom the display manager which will stop X. To start it again you could sudo start lightdm however after you install the nvidia driver you need to reboot or load the kernel module manually.

[01:18] i might see if i can get grub2 and drop it onto the first partition, i'm using a grub version from 2004 (the one that knoppix 3.4 has on it) [01:19] it's the text based installer [01:19] phong_: You have the cdrom sources enabled in your /etc/apt/sources.list is why it's asking for cd [01:19] !nvidia | phong_ [01:19] phong_: For Ati/NVidia/Matrox video cards, see https://help.ubuntu.com/community/VideoDriverHowto [01:19] how can i install dkms modules for the current kernel? [01:19] GreaseMonkey: Umm, no idea how you got to an installer then, the first GRUB doesn't boot from an iso on disk as far as I know [01:19] !manual | phong_ [01:19] phong_: The Ubuntu Manual will help you become familiar with everyday tasks such as surfing the web, listening to music and scanning documents. With an emphasis on easy to follow instructions, it is suitable for all levels of experience. http://ubuntu-manual.org/ [01:20] what i did was i copied the .iso to the partition as well as the contents of the .iso [01:21] ? [01:21] copying the .iso itself was required as it stopped i think half way when i copied them from my USB HDD [01:21] !manual dkms [01:21] so then i had to copy the remainder from the installer shell [01:21] !dkms | nullby7e [01:21] nullby7e, please see my private message [01:21] !dkms [01:21] DKMS is Dynamic Kernel Module Support. See https://launchpad.net/dkms for more. [01:21] i'm closing in on the cron reload, this will reload the file `EDITOR="sudo touch -d '+1 sec' /var/spool/cron/crontabs/user" crontab -e` so now it's easier to determine how to reproduce that without crontab [01:23] GreaseMonkey: I don't think that you're actually at the installer for some reason... I think you're ending up in the GRUB shell? [01:23] JPeterson: what on earth... [01:23] i am actually in the installer [01:23] root (hd0,1) \ kernel /install/vmlinuz \ initrd /install/initrd.gz \ boot [01:23] it actually works. [01:24] i just need to tell the installer that it's full of shit and it needs to install from the media it was booted from. [01:24] !language | GreaseMonkey [01:24] GreaseMonkey: Please watch your language and topic to help keep this channel family-friendly, polite, and professional. [01:24] so I'm installing the gnome shell...I see gdm or lightdm which one should I pick? [01:24] (it would make sense to have the bot automatically say that) [01:24] I told the bot to say it. [01:25] !guidelines | GreaseMonkey [01:25] GreaseMonkey: The guidelines for using the Ubuntu channels can be found here: http://wiki.ubuntu.com/IRC/Guidelines [01:25] GreaseMonkey: Err, that's not right, you've booted into the filesystem, but you haven't booted it as a disk, it's not going to like that. No wonder you're having problems with it, but ok, here's something that could work, mount the iso as a loopback device and see if the installer can find the files then. [01:25] k [01:25] ubottu: for what is the site for dkms? [01:25] JPeterson: can I ask /why/ you are doing this? You're aware that if you edit using crontab, cron will automatically notice your changes? [01:25] gdm [01:26] !dkms [01:26] DKMS is Dynamic Kernel Module Support. See https://launchpad.net/dkms for more. [01:26] You can use either manager though gdm fits more with the gnome theme [01:26] ElixirVitae: You could do something like find ~ -maxdepth 1 -name ".*" would show you all the .files and directories in your ~ [01:26] kunji: thanks, it seems to be working [01:26] do I get kicked out if I say praise god [01:26] GreaseMonkey: Mmk, cool [01:26] ElixirVitae: sorry type -name should be -iname [01:27] can you create a bot command `!se register 123456` that connect the nick to that askbuntu user number so that `!se nick` display the askubuntu.com rating for a user? it would give an indication of skill which would be beneficial when a user speak [01:28] JPeterson: Not everyone on here is on askubuntu [01:28] JPeterson: also how would you validate who is who. [01:28] i can write it if you tell me the bot software [01:28] JPeterson, /join #ubuntu-discuss [01:28] JPeterson, you can ask for a launchpad account [01:28] guidex: what do I do after its installed? Do I need to restart to see the changes?> [01:29] Hello [01:30] I have never used Askubuntu, so I am not sure how that would help here. [01:30] not sure it is a good judge of skill. [01:30] JPeterson: What are you trying to do invoke the jobs from cron.daily etc... I can only scrollback so far. [01:30] phunyguy, askubuntu is oke, there is even a lens for it [01:32] askubuntu.com is blocked by my company proxy [01:32] I got around my company proxy. I just set up a proxy at home, and found an open port going out for OpenVPN xD [01:33] Hey, I really need some layman's terms help. I tried installing Ubuntu alongside windows and it wound up screwing with my boot sequence. My monitor will not turn on until it defaults booting to Windows. I also can't access my BIOS now [01:33] hi [01:33] quit [01:34] hi [01:34] that's really bizarre... Sky_Pod, have you tried switching your comp + monitor off at the wall, waiting 20 seconds, then switching them on? [01:34] no I haven't tried that [01:34] i suspect you MAY need to reset your BIOS if you can't access it [01:34] is it a laptop or a desktop? [01:34] desktop [01:35] k, do you have your motherboard manual or something [01:35] It's in storage :S [01:35] but yeah, i do recommend turning it off and on at the wall [01:35] i have a comp where the keyboard controller conks out after some time, and that's what i have to do [01:35] by at the wall I assume you mean shut down, unplug, and then boot back up [01:36] I've got an acer v3-551-8887, proprietary ati driver crashes unity and the audio has a lot of static in it when using Skype. [01:36] yeah [01:36] dforthman: what ATI version? [01:36] erm, driver version [01:36] i've personally found 12.3 to be miles better than 12.10 [01:37] I tried 12.10, I'll give 12.3 a shot [01:37] I've also heard that it's likely a Grub that's messing with it. I unfortunately don't even know what a grub is, or how to get rid of it [01:37] grub is the bootloader used to load up linux [01:37] do you have a linux livecd [01:38] no. i don't know what that is either === grep is now known as Guest45795 [01:38] how'd you install ubuntu, then? [01:38] because i have a very old version of ubuntu somewhere and that came on a livecd [01:38] I need to change the order of the launcher icons in ubuntu 12.04 desktop. The answers I'm seeing online tell me to drag the icon out (to the right) then place back in wher I want it. This is not working for me. Does anyone know how to do this? [01:39] i went to ubuntu.com and selected run alongside windows. It downloaded an installer which I ran [01:39] hmmkay [01:39] the answer to [00:47] how do i apply the change after editing /var/spool/cron/crontabs/user manually? (not through crontab -e) is `sudo touch /var/spool/cron/crontabs` this channel sucks for not having anyone that know that [01:39] then it finished successfully, and said I needed to restart [01:40] JPeterson: please don't be rude. Everyone here is a user like you. [01:40] GreaseMonkey, Sorry, I tried 13.1. I'll give the 12.3 a shot, though. === security is now known as megha [01:41] well said jrib [01:41] JPeterson, folks are just trying to help... if it isn't up to your standards, then ask somewhere else. [01:41] dforthman: as for your sound issues, try playing aroudn with alsamixer, use alsamixer -c0 [01:41] if you haven't already [01:41] I am building a new machine that I plan to dual boot Ubuntu and Windows 7. Do you know how easy it will be to dual boot from 2 separate ssd's? [01:46] Hello everyone. Can you help me with a malfunctioning HDD? -> http://ubuntuforums.org/showthread.php?t=2112074 OR http://www.linuxforums.org/forum/hardware-peripherals/194674-stormy-hdd-drive-ntfs-fat16-lba-not-working.html#post917771 [01:46] Thanks. [01:46] Is there a ubuntu compatible webmin or alternative yet? [01:46] I dont really need it but it might be nice when im feeling ultra lazy sometimes. [01:46] !webmin [01:46] webmin is no longer supported in Debian and Ubuntu. It is not compatible with the way that Ubuntu packages handle configuration files, and is likely to cause unexpected issues with your system. === ttttttttttt is now known as ram3 [01:46] GreaseMonkey, it seems to only be with Skype.

[01:49] dforthman: I just found that via our good friend google :) it looks like its pretty decent do you have any experience? [01:49] Hey Guys [01:49] When I just restarted its sitting at the login screen with the spinning cursor..and its not doing anything [01:50] Nope, Google is my friend also :P [01:50] I have a queston [01:50] Let me know how it works, though. [01:50] flash doesn't appear to be working in firefox or chrome anymore.. is this just me or other experiencing the issue? [01:51] I got a hybrid graphics card. When I use the integrated everything works fine but when I switch to the discrete one, I get a few weird graphic bugs. Any advise? [01:51] I switch it through the bios [01:51] anyone? [01:52] exit [01:52] guidex: so I installed gnome shell, selected gdm and restarted..now I just have a spinning cursor and thats it [01:52] Anyone? [01:52] Nils_: what discrete graphic card? [01:52] radeon hd 3650 [01:53] is it the upgraded driver [01:53] ? [01:53] how can i add support geforce gtx 650ti ? [01:53] I installed the open source driver I think [01:53] Any way to check it? [01:54] I'm resizing a misaligned partition and gparted says it's going to take 6 hours just to read. What do I do? Will it take even longer to perform the moving operation? [01:54] synpatic package manager, and search for the driver [01:55] additional drivers works as well [01:55] I'm looking for a good / decent graphical HTML layout tool. I want to lay my idea out without just using code [01:55] dforthman: there might be some way to stop skype from screwing with the mixer, because it *loves* to do that [01:56] docmur: do you need it to be working HTML? You could use Inkscape [01:56] GreaseMonkey, it seems to be that way haha. I'll keep doing some research and let you know if I find anything. [01:56] well prefabably all I really need is the CSS [01:56] the HTML is simple as pie [01:57] how can I switch from the gnome shell back? I'm running 12.10 and my system is bricked as of now [01:58] antonio_2: you can switch from the login [01:58] hello everyone [01:58] hello everyone [01:59] docmur: css is easy too, you could try learning it [01:59] anyone care for a chat? [01:59] docmur: KompoZer, or Bluefish [01:59] Anyone have a ultrabook/light-laptop recommendation? [01:59] manamana: there is no login [01:59] I don't even make it to the login [01:59] skype and 12.10 64bit? [02:00] could'nt find much on google, any ultrabook/light-laptop recommendations? [02:00] I'm at the screen just before the login dialouge comes up [02:00] alal: what your budget? and requirements? [02:00] $900, ~i5 processor [02:00] css is easy but a pain in the butt to code, rather have a program spit me out the css [02:01] antonio_2: you can't even boot?

[02:08] antonio_2: assuming you have a separate video card, i mean [02:08] I have onboard video [02:08] can I change a setting in bios to get back? [02:09] alal: http://zareason.com/shop/UltraLap-430.html [02:09] damnit! [02:09] antonio_2: well i mainly mean, if you have two video cards (one on board and one separate) and you're using the separate one, you can disable the onboard one in the bios and the Ctrl+Alt+F1 TTY "should" show up [02:09] antonio_2: i'm not sure of your specific issue atm (wasn't logged in when you said it) [02:10] ulkesh: I tried to install the gnome shell on 12.10 did sudo apt-get install gnome-shell [02:10] restarted and now nothing...

[02:12] one [02:13] antonio_2: ahh...and Ctrl+Alt+F1 just shows a blank screen? [02:13] no... [02:14] antonio_2: oh your computer is simply frozen? that sounds like an issue with the kernel or a driver then...if X is the only thing dead, you should at least be able to get to the F1 TTY [02:14] antonio_2: check this to see if it'd help getting you into "safe" mode: http://askubuntu.com/questions/172319/how-can-i-start-in-safe-mode [02:18] Is it possible to network boot a ubuntu liveCD?

[02:20] I'm resizing a misaligned partition and gparted says it's going to take 6 hours just to read. What do I do? Will it take even longer to perform the moving operation? [02:20] ulkesh: now I'm at root terminal...how can I uninstall gnome-shell?

[02:20] _helios_, it is a new Lenovo Thinkpad 2 tablet that simply refuses to boot from USB\ [02:20] phunyguy: turn off secure boot [02:20] GreaseMonkey, did. [02:21] good [02:21] still no go.

It's been at half way installing MyUnity for a half hour (went to subway, came back and am half way through my footlong already - and it's still at half way). What do I do? [02:59] !notunity | phong_ [02:59] phong_: 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 [02:59] bazhang, to be fair, he kinda started it [02:59] ClientAlive, what version of ubuntu, where is myunity from [03:00] the gnome fallback modes are scheduled to be removed at some time in the future - if you want a classic type desktop - you may want to check into Lubuntu [03:00] bazhang: 12.04 desktop. An online tutorial instructed to add a certain backport repo. When I went to do that I was informed in bash that MyUnity is already avail in the regular repo for 12.04. I searched it in software center and clicked install - and now here we are [03:01] and there are classic-gnome type menu indicator applets for gnome-shell and unity [03:01] my ubuntu is locked up at "Running post-installation trigger update-notifier-common". Can I safely reboot? [03:01] !info myunity [03:01] Package myunity does not exist in quantal [03:01] Myunity was removed in 12.10 I belive. it had a short run ;) [03:01] ok [03:02] Hey guys when looking at gparted what do the key symbols mean that appear next to partition name? [03:02] ClientAlive, you're trying to tweak the unity launcher? dash? or what [03:02] is there a way to make the directory view in ubuntu to permanently view in list mode for any folder or drives?

See also !addppa and !ppa-purge [03:04] ok maybe you guys can help me with this. My friend wanted to do a dual boot on his system. We installed windows 7, then booted ubuntu live. Shrunk the partition and created two new partitions, one for install one swap. Installed ubuntu and rebooted. However its not booting, grub isn't coming up to choose and its not booting windows or ubuntu. [03:04] ok, I'm rebooting. whether ubuntu setup likes it or not [03:04] so it just powers up and shows the post screen then blank KxTwo ? [03:05] bazhang: I know what a ppa is. The confirmation message says MyUnity is in the 12.04 repos and don't add that repo just search it in software center and get it (that's the gist of the message). [03:05] At any rate, I need to do somethign about this. I'm stuck bro. [03:05] what do I do? [03:05] I need a little help. I have Maverick on a VPS and I wanted to upgrade to a supported release. I changed my sources.list file as instructed here https://help.ubuntu.com/community/EOLUpgrades and then I did aptitude update then aptitude upgrade. [03:05] ******is there a way to make the directory view in ubuntu to permanently view in list mode for any folder or drives? [03:05] ClientAlive: so you tried just 'sudo apt-get install myunity' ? [03:06] phong_: not that ive ever noticed.. #gnome or askubuntu.com may know.. [03:06] /etc/lsb-release still says I'm maverick [03:06] dr_willis, that is correct. I am a little rusty so even went in with the live usb and changed the flags for the os partitions to boot but would get NO OS or something of that nature [03:06] phong_: may be some gconf setting you can tweek [03:06] did I miss a step in the process? [03:06] dr_willis, I assume it is somethign to do with grub but that should have been taken care of during install [03:06] KxTwo: its possible it is booting grub but not showing a proper video mode. [03:06] well, it's broken. good luck with me getting support here. [03:06] dr_willis: no, through software center without adding that repo. It shows up in software center but won't install all the way. Software center doesn't seem to have a way to view details of the install. [03:06] ugh [03:06] KxTwo: in any case it should at least be defaulting to an os after a few min [03:07] ClientAlive: so you have removed the ppa? done a sudo apt-get update. sudo apt-get upgrade, then tried it again? [03:07] I just installed gnome 3 and I till can't get to a login screen [03:07] dr_willis, I waited for several minutes already [03:07] just a stupid spinning cursor [03:07] dr_willis, is it possible I did something wrong when setting up the partitions? I simply created two new primary parts, ext4 and swap [03:08] KxTwo: i would check out the fix-grub wiki pages and get boot-repair going to be sure grub is working right.. [03:08] dr_willis: I never added it [03:08] KxTwo: i wouldent think so.. but its hard to tell. [03:08] !fixgrub [03:08] GRUB2 is the default Ubuntu boot manager since 9.10 (Karmic).

[03:08] Hi all. Anyone here have exerience installing 12.04 on MacBook Pro? [03:08] you are asked for a confirmation when adding a repo. I canceled it [03:08] antonio_2: go to a console. login, use sudo service lightdm restart [03:09] grub loads fine from the liveusb [03:09] live cd uses syslinux i thought - not grub [03:09] I am not sure actually I assumed grub becaues the interface was the same [03:10] im not sure any more these days either. ;) [03:10] So I don't know what to do with a half installed package on my system. Do I cancel software center install? Then what? Have to clean up the mess and try again? How? [03:11] dr_willis: what does that do? just a blinking cursor now [03:11] normally a cd uses syslinux. i guess they could use grub. [03:11] hmm well I guess im back to square 1, I will work on it more tomorrow [03:11] dr_willis, i got it :) [03:11] antonio_2: it should have restarted the X server check the alt-ctrl-f1 through f7 consoles [03:11] dr_willis: these are the instructions that I used to install gnome 3 [03:12] so many users [03:12] I am afraid [03:12] I hope customs lets the package in.

What are we discussing now? [04:09] I have been messing with xchat to try and find a reason for the xchat-indicator bug, and it's not as bad in 12.04, but really bad in 12.10.

[04:10] even with it running as the active window, if you select xchat in the envelope, it starts a new xchat window. [04:10] now I have a completely bricked system [04:10] So I'm new to rsync. I'm trying to sync the folders with files from one computer to the other. Problem is the files on the destination computer are spread out across multiple drives. I want all the source folders from A-S to go to one drive and the rest (T-Z) to go to a different drive. I'm in the process of writing a script to automate this when I need to. Is there a way to do this? [04:11] pam: i wouldn't call it bricked [04:11] I think the bug lies in xchat-indicator, not the actualy xchat package.

[04:13] clock seems about right, oddly enough [04:13] GreaseMonkey: Is date correct? [04:13] yeah [04:14] Hello again. =P | Quick question: I'm using TeamViewer for remote desktop connection, but I would like for a similar program at home box to boot before even loading user profile. Which would be a good option? If possible, it has to support iOS (Apple's OS) and/or Android. Thank you. [04:14] i think it might even be synced to NTP [04:14] usr13, but what command option will do what i'm looking for? Or do i need to do A*.*, B*.*, C*.*? [04:14] heh. had a bug in beta once.. fsck would always set the date wrong - so it would always be rechecking because its been so long snce the last check [04:14] JZApples: I don't know. [04:15] this just says it was unmounted uncleanly [04:15] GreaseMonkey: dmesg [04:15] do you want the whole lot? [04:16] GreaseMonkey: smartct -a /dev/hd? |less [04:16] someone let me on #ubuntu-live :P I know all about live build and want to watch :) [04:16] i don't have smartct [04:19] there's gnome-disks though [04:20] i think the only thing that looks wrong is that there's a reallocation count of 1 [04:20] GreaseMonkey: smartmontools [04:20] Oh, hello dr_willis. I did not notice you before, I was on different channel. How are you? Could you help me out? [04:20] Hello again. =P | Quick question: I'm using TeamViewer for remote desktop connection, but I would like for a similar program at home box to boot before even loading user profile. Which would be a good option? If possible, it has to support iOS (Apple's OS) and/or Android. Thank you. [04:21] dammit, that'll require me to add an apt source that isn't the cdrom... might build from source instead if poss [04:21] theres numerous remote desktop apps in the markets.. but i dont really use them [04:21] ivotkl: Is this confined to your LAN? [04:21] I use ssh like a real man. ;) [04:21] argh i guess i'll just have to add it [04:22] For a local lan . theres vnc, and i recall a few others in the android market. [04:23] usr13: I would like it to be over the internet. [04:23] ivotkl: Teamviewer is your best bet [04:23] Darn it. XD [04:23] How could I configure ubuntu for it to be loaded before I log in with my username? [04:23] is teamviewer some sort of VNC viewer? === defekt is now known as Guest33315 [04:24] It's more of a remote desktop. [04:24] GreaseMonkey: similer in concept [04:24] hmmkay [04:24] every time ive ever tried to do a remote desktop over 3g. it was so slow it was unuseable [04:24] easir to just use ssh to get to the ubuntu box [04:24] I've seen several ones, but was recommended this one. However, if box is off, I cannot Wake On Lan or load program. [04:24] Oh, ok. [04:25] if the box is off.. call the wife.. tell her to turn it on. ;) [04:25] dr_willis: Should I search the forums for some how to on that Secure Shell? [04:25] I have just divorced, there is no more wife. LOL [04:25] for remote accessing a linux box.. you DEFINATLY want to learn ssh [04:25] Well, "divorced".

[04:30] it has 'issues' ;) [04:31] I know that when the ubuntu phone image comes out it'll be very tailored to the galaxy nexus. But I'm guessing I can just go and buy a nexus from my provider and expect to get ubuntu on it with a few button presses. So what exactly would I need to do to the phone to put ubuntu on it? E.g. does the phone need to unlocked? [04:31] rodayo, #ubuntu-phone [04:31] i'm about to install updates anyhow [04:32] rodayo: we really have no details on it as far as i know.. ive not noticed any providers that shell the nexus either... I thought you bought them direct from google. [04:32] rodayo: you would have to unlock the bootloader, which is as simple as "adb reboot bootloader && fastboot oem unlock" [04:32] and then you would flash the images on the phone, probably via script, and then poof, ubuntu [04:32] dr_willis, I don't think so. The nexus is offered from a few different providers. I was able to find at fido.ca for example. [04:33] rodayo: never heard of fido.ca [04:33] dr_willis, canadian provider [04:33] last i looked into the nexus it also had some lacking features compared to many of the phones out... but theres always the next nexus.. :) [04:34] Ill stick to my S3 for another year i imagine [04:34] rodayo: I've already installed ubuntu on my Nexus 7, and I imagine it's going to be a very similar process for the phones. [04:35] jab416171, well it's good to know that at least the process isn't too applied. [04:37] yeah, if you've done any ROM flashing or tinkering in ADB, it's really straightforward. [04:39] HI, my pc has detected my external hardrive.. but it doesnt have a letter...http://pastebin.com/GZ2rBXGe how do i assign it a letter? [04:39] evilytwisted: you mount it... [04:39] !mount | evilytwisted [04:39] evilytwisted: mount is used to attach devices to directories. See also https://help.ubuntu.com/community/Mount [04:39] how do i mount that... I already tried mount -t 001 ddint do anything [04:39] It should auto mount on first access via the file manager [04:39] it doesnt mount doing tha [04:39] use a proper mount command.... [04:40] doing /mount -t sda1 doesnt work either [04:40] umm... [04:40] -t specifies the type [04:40] use a proper mount command.... dont just use random wrong mount commands..... [04:40] mount -t /dev/sda1 [04:40] how do i install eclipse manually in ubuntu 12.04 [04:40] that's getting there... [04:40] drop the -t [04:40] ok [04:41] make an empty dir to put it in [04:41] mkdir /mnt/sda1 [04:41] or take the 60 sec to look at the mount factoid url ;) [04:41] mount /dev/sda1 /mnt/sda1 [04:41] or that URL, yeah [04:41] for FAT filesystems sometimes i have to also shove in a -t msdosfs, too [04:41] -t auto works in most cases [04:42] and the mountpoint HAS to exist first... [04:42] quick question... which i dont think has any relevance.. but just pointing it out here anyway... [04:42] I had visual acces to the external hardrive before using it as a storage spage for my xbox 360.. [04:42] Upon adding stuff to it... saves.. profiles.. etc.. [04:43] it doesnt seem to work anymore.. like showing it even exist from the file systems [04:43] xbox360 uses exfat I think? ive never owned one [04:43] How do I replace wine1.5 with wine1.4?

[04:44] gnight [04:44] pinning was never worth it to me [04:44] hey guys [04:44] JokesOnYou77: what's your reason for doing that? [04:44] been a brain opening couple of days :) [04:44] (then again i personally build wine from source) [04:45] theres ways to have specific wine versions for specific apps... i recall [04:45] and wehn trying to umount the device /sda1 it states this http://pastebin.com/rFrPQSSM GreaseMonkey [04:45] WINEPREFIX= [04:45] evilytwisted: df -h [04:45] so is there any way (as a developer) I can contribute? [04:45] might tell you where the mounting's happening [04:45] GreaseMonkey, I'm trying to get Half Life 1 to work properly and I've tried PlayOnLinux and pure wine and neither works. I'm hoping a different wine version will help [04:46] JokesOnYou77: check winehq [04:46] appdb.winehq.org [04:46] do most people use Wine for gaming more than other stuff? [04:46] pretty much [04:46] GreaseMonkey, I did Half Life has a much better rating on wine 1.4 [04:46] http://appdb.winehq.org/objectManager.php?sClass=application&iId=8 [04:47] there should be some instructions on how to get it to behave properly [04:47] Hmm wonder if Halflife is in the Native Linux Steam Client.

But care to explain something? http://pastebin.com/p44j8brX [04:48] evilytwisted: all i can say is lay off the sugary lollies [04:48] you are doing it very, very wrong [04:48] not working eclipse ubuntu 12.04 [04:48] hence why i said Im an idiot lol [04:48] what you really need to do is calm down === atrius is now known as atrius_away [04:49] i also said do "df -h" [04:49] What is the best way to stream my screen to justin.tv?

[06:38] what is giveing that exactly? that whole command? [06:38] linuxwireless.org [06:38] You do have a scripts directory? [06:38] ya [06:39] guest-Hn7vgH: and for the second time whats mrouter? [06:39] dir shows scripts and in scripts is the file driver-select [06:39] Cavemanross: is that file executable? [06:39] its a shell script [06:39] ls -l ./scripts/driver-select [06:39] how to listen port tcp 80 without sudo ? [06:40] yes its a script.. but IS it executable [06:40] not sure how to tell. when i open it from folder it opens up code in gedit [06:40] Mrouter is a software which enables internet transfer from laptop to mobile via bluetooth or wifi. [06:41] it says the script allows you to select your compat-wireless driver [06:41] theres dozens of ways to transfer files from one ubuntu box to another.... [06:42] Cavemanross: yes.. but IS it set executable? it has to be executuable for you to be able to run it.... [06:42] ls -l ./scripts/driver-select [06:42] dr_willis, why just name one [06:42] ouyes: ssh [06:42] on ubuntu 12.04 when I connect my cell phone as usb mass storage I don't see anything in /var/log/dmesg nor does anything happen in xfce. what should I be looking for? [06:43] when i type that it outputs -rw-rw-w-- 1 ross 11580 Apr 17 2012 ./scripts/driver-select [06:43] Cavemanross: so the answer is No its not executable... make it executable 'chmod +x ./scripts/thatscriptname' [06:44] ok [06:45] it says no such file or directory... [06:45] what the heck [06:45] whats the exact command you are using? [06:46] if I installed zentyal via the apt-get install method from here http://trac.zentyal.org/wiki/Documentation/Community/Installation/InstallationGuide on a server that already had a lamp stack setup with vhosts n such where would I look to access zentyal or find out where it went and how to find it. [06:46] 'chmod +x ./scripts/driver-select' [06:47] looks like that worked now. [06:47] use tab key to complete filenames and paths. ;) helps prevent typos [06:47] i then tried to run it with ./scripts/driver-select ath9k [06:48] right on i always forget when to use that [06:48] so when it ran it said processing new driver-select [06:48] and ran 5 different backup exists: and 5 backing up makefile [06:51] so after i run the script exe the next instruction is to type make [06:51] but it gives me error 126 [06:51] sudo make also gives me the error [06:52] permission denied [06:53] no more detailed error message? [06:55] Hey, curiosity, anyone out there played with LIRC at all that might be able to help figure out a small problem? [06:55] Anyone know anything about zentyal here? [06:55] someone was reccomending I try it out for a webmin replacement. [06:56] Hey folks... [06:56] Ive heard it works well.. but ive never needed it. [06:56] does ubuntu server come with ntfs-3g installed or do I have to install it manually? [06:56] dr_willis: you responding to me? [06:56] So now i need to try to get this working [06:56] ya its long... /bin/sh: 1: ./compat/scripts/gen-compat-config.sh: Permission denied make: ***[/home/ross/......] Error 126 [06:56] Depending chamunks. I run it here at home as a small file server and web server. It's relatively easy to use [06:56] chamunks: thats about all i know on zental ;) [06:57] Is there anyway to repair a borked system with a live cd rather than reinstalling? [06:57] SAngeli: i thought it came with ntfs-3g by default. if not its quick to install [06:57] gdeeble: I'm just curious about where its webgui is and what its using to host the webserver because I have apache already installed. [06:57] I need to know how to determine what key presses my remote is sending to the computer, is there a way to do that? [06:57] antonio2: depends on how messed up it is [06:57] I have no idea where it installed exactly I see nothing in etc for configs [06:57] How much will LVM and full disk encryption slow down an install of Ubuntu 12.10? Are we talking 5-10% or more like 50%? [06:58] davey486: run 'xev' from a terminal. cluck in the xev window.. press buttons [06:58] I couldn't tell ya for sure. I wanna say it runs as an inetd service, as I run a front facing web server for testing and can still access it. [06:58] Dr_willis: how would i go about fixing it? [06:58] k, ill try [06:58] mjuszczak: i doubt if it will be a 50% slowdown. [06:59] antonio2: depends on what is messed up.... so far you have said.. 'its broke.. how do i fix' [06:59] It uses https for the webui and normal http for Apache chamunks. That's how I run it at least. [06:59] Basically i cant get into the login.... [06:59] can you login at the console? [06:59] gdeeble: its strange it seems like it might not have actually installed almost [07:00] How do you login in console? [07:00] I installed via its install guide's apt repo's and apt-fast [07:00] how to run mywebapp -p 80 without sudo ? [07:00] dr_wilis- It reported unable to open '' [07:00] ikk-: I dont think you do.. unless you set it up as a service that runs as root. or use the suid bit.. (not a good idea) [07:00] Also does anyone know if you can tether a droid via the charging cord to get internet access? [07:01] chamunks: I would go to their site and grab a copy and run it on a virtual machine to see if it works best. [07:01] dr_willis: ok,I'll try to set a service [07:01] dr_willis: thanks [07:01] dr_willis, I ask you this because after waiting for a 1.5TB HD 1/2 day for format it failed to mount (ubuntu NTFS signature is missing). So I was trying to understand if ntfs-3g is part or not of ubunto. Can you help me out finding out and perhaps telling me which package to run? [07:01] gdeeble: this is odd I think it didnt run correctly its actually giving me the config stuff where before it didn't so we're all set now afaik [07:01] antonio2: you should be able to teather with android. [07:02] gdeeble: my issue is I need to do it via the apt because I cant alter the remote server that thoroughly. [07:02] SAngeli: 1/2 a day? err.. that shouldent take more then like 20 min.. [07:02] dr_willis, It did not [07:02] it was perfecly working under ext4 [07:02] SAngeli: this isent some weird raid/lvm/oddball setup? [07:02] is xev part of a package? I don't have it installed [07:03] !find xev [07:03] Found: libxcb-xevie0, libxcb-xevie0-dbg, libxcb-xevie0-dev, xevil [07:03] hmm.. think its xev, its a x input event logger. [07:03] dr_willis, I have mdadm running and have formatted the array. mkfs.ntfs ... [07:03] just prints out all x eents it gets. [07:03] chamunks: I understand. I did a fresh install so the install via apt, I am of no use. I can help with understanding the inner working once installed for the most part, but the install i'm a waste of space.. LOL [07:03] SAngeli: then i have no idea on that ussage of it with ntfs. I only use ntfs on simple drive partions. [07:04] ill google it, thanks for pointing me in the right direction [07:04] dr_willis, ok, but I wish to know if ntfs-3g is native of current ubuntu server version (Ubuntu 12.04 LTS Precise Pangolin) when i run mkfs.ntfs or if I have to install it [07:05] dr_willis, how to find out? I faild doing these researches [07:05] if mkfs.ntfs exists then you have the ntfs-3g package installed. [07:05] Damn...irc app shutdown.. [07:05] Sorry dr willis..what were you saying? [07:05] the #ubuntu-server guys may know if its installed b default on a server install [07:06] antonio2: you should be able to teather with android. [07:06] dr-willis- I see, its needs xwindows, i have ubuntu minimalistic install with xbmc running, no xserver [07:06] dr_willis, is there a way to display it / to check on package name? [07:06] gdeeble: its cool I may ping you again knowing you know some stuff about it. [07:06] SAngeli: sudo apt-get install ntfs-3g [07:06] How can i tether my droid? [07:06] ubottu: Can you help me? With the ubuntu installation! [07:06] Guest7099: I am only a bot, please don't think I'm intelligent :) [07:07] Oh okay! ubottu is a bot, [07:07] dr_willis, I see it now. Strange I was unable to see it before. Thanks [07:07] state the problem to the channel.. see who can help. [07:07] dr_willis Hello! [07:07] chamunks: That's cool. feel free to, if I'm not here i'll try to get back to you asap. I'm working on a project where I can use my old ATI remote and have it run stuff without a keyboard/mouse etc,etc and moving my K/M between 2 machines haha [07:08] dr_willis, so now I have to fix the (ubuntu NTFS signature is missing) issue [07:08] SAngeli: sounds to me like the formating failed.. or its looking at the wrong device. === A_Dave is now known as Archdave [07:08] How can i use a live cd to diag my non working system? [07:08] gdeeble: see synergy (might be renamed now) [07:08] SAngeli: for example it was looking at sda when you ment to tell it sda1 (but you are using the other stuff) [07:09] Anyone have any ideas on getting output from my ir remote so i can create a keymap to match it? [07:09] dr_willis, here is the error: http://pastebin.com/gH9DiVtz [07:09] davey486: do you have an ir sensor? [07:09] Im on a console only box. so i got no browser. On my Raspberry Pi In the console. [07:09] yes [07:09] Hello! Is here anybody who can speak german? [07:10] !de [07:10] In den meisten Ubuntu-Kanälen wird nur Englisch gesprochen. Für deutschsprachige Hilfe besuche bitte #ubuntu-de, #kubuntu-de, #edubuntu-de oder #ubuntu-at. Einfach "/join #ubuntu-de" eingeben. Danke für Dein Verständnis! [07:10] is there any directory where error/log files go to? [07:10] davey486: then you should be able to read the output of each key press on the remote. The mythtv guys would ahve more valuable info then you will find in here. [07:10] histo i bought a cheap remote that seems to work, but i can't program the keys on it [07:10] antonio2: /var/logs [07:10] ahh is there a channel ? [07:10] I got a 8$ remote - it emulates a Keyboard.. [07:10] davey486: so you just need to remap the keys functions? [07:11] nm, ill check [07:11] yes [07:11] dr_willis : Thanks! [07:11] i run xbmc, and i want to alter the keymap file to match the key preesses [07:11] Dr_willis: is there any specific log file that will show boot errors? [07:11] davey486: #mythtv-users and #ubuntu-mythtv are a couple [07:12] davey486: then you may want to askt he xbmc people. I believe they are using lirc to control all that. [07:12] antonio2: No idea. You said you couldent login.. so the system was booting. [07:12] how to i open another channel uin mirc, i just downloaded and know nothing about it [07:12] Im on a live cd... [07:12] davey486: /j #xbmc-linux [07:12] davey486: mIRC? thats a windows IRC client [07:12] thx [07:12] No internet...on irc on drois [07:12] Droid [07:12] davey486: or /join #channel_name [07:13] antonio2: You are still here. [07:13] Yeah [07:13] antonio2: What is the problem you are experiencing now? [07:13] I had to go to dinner earlier [07:13] Same problem [07:14] antonio2: can you enlighten me or give me details I don't remember. [07:14] !details | antonio2 [07:14] antonio2: 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 ..." [07:14] dr_willis: Why are you using a rpi for irc? [07:14] histo: because i can. ;) [07:15] Tried to install gnome 3...on 12.10 [07:15] its also my ZNC server [07:15] dr_willis: There's so much cooler stuff you should be running on that thing. [07:15] I know its windows, Im on my xp box, I'm using ssh to control my linux box [07:15] Cant get to the boot screen now [07:15] histo: i got the other Pi for that. [07:15] dr_willis: Oh yeah I was going to tell you since you're the znc guy. Have you seen weechat's relay functionality? [07:15] antonio2: Which boot screen the login screen or the grub screen? [07:15] I here alot about pi, is it a good machine? [07:16] Login === charles is now known as Guest35831 [07:16] I tend to use my Android phone -> znc -> here 90% of the time.. just today is my day off. ;) so im on the pi right now. [07:16] davey486: It's for development and gpio stuff. Not really what you'd want to run as a day to day os. [07:16] Is the grub the one with recovery options? [07:16] dr_willis: Yeah weechat has relay capability built right in. They have an android client also. Iv'e been testing it out and reporting any bugs i've found in #weechat to ubergeek42. [07:17] dr_willis: No more need for znc [07:17] antonio2: yes [07:17] histo: blasphmy! ;) [07:17] histo i see people have installed xbmc on it, good idea or no? [07:17] chamunks: Syngery? [07:18] Histo: if you want i can try to upload some error logs to someplace if that might help [07:18] dr_willis: you just need to run 3.6+ of weechat I believe for the relay capability to be there. I used a backported version since ubuntu's stock packages aren't up to date. [07:18] hello [07:18] antonio2: What error logs? How did you install gnome 3? [07:18] I think I figured out my problem with the Lirc.. Like an idiot I failed to realize I needed to launch it via terminal on the actually unit and not via SSH lol === ericab is now known as ericab_away [07:18] From a tutorial online..with term sudo commands [07:18] Anyone knows of any problems with the latest version of CCSM in Quantal? It crashes every time I try to open it. [07:18] * histo oh boy [07:18] Ill see if i can find it on my droid [07:19] antonio2: Can you pastebin what ever errors you are getting? [07:19] Hi all I'm new to the Linux world... [07:19] davey486: I was just working with that. I installed Lirc and configured using the menus it brought up then ran irw /var/run/lirc/lircd and it showed all my keystrokes for the remote. [07:19] nodii: welcome to civilization lol [07:19] Have been playing around with it for a few days. [07:19] Really liking it actually! [07:19] histo: got 0.3.8 on the pi it seems [07:20] dr_willis: Yeah 3.8 is there. I'm thinking of debian sorry. [07:20] I'm trying to mount this mass storage device: http://article.gmane.org/gmane.linux.ubuntu.user/265086 but am unsure how to proceed. [07:20] A bit to learn compared to Windows - but I think I can happily spend some time getting to know this little beast. [07:20] Histo: im not seeing any errors..thats the problem [07:20] http://www.webupd8.org/2012/10/how-to-get-complete-gnome-3-desktop-in.html?m=1 [07:20] dr_willis: Let me get you a howto ont he relay stuff although /help relay is really enlightening [07:21] Quick question and I'm sorry if I have asked in the wrong area. But just wondering, is there anywhere to get official or premium Ubuntu themes? :) [07:22] nodii: theres many in the repos... Never seen premium ones... the webupd8 and omgubuntu site have some of the best in some of their custom ppas [07:22] dr_willis: https://github.com/ubergeek42/weechat-android/blob/master/Readme.md [07:22] Now i just want to revert back but i have no idea how [07:23] dr_willis: sorry meant this link https://github.com/ubergeek42/weechat-android/wiki/Quickstart-Guide === Archdave is now known as A_Dave [07:24] Thank you kindly dr_willis :) [07:24] antonio2: did you sudo dpkg-reconfigure gdm ? [07:24] nodii: gnome-look.org has many that are suitable for Ubuntu as well [07:24] antonio2: also did you add the ppa and when did you start having issues? [07:25] I think i did that sudo cmd [07:25] just downloading theme 'files' from sites can be confuseing. ;) you can get old themes and stuff mixxed in with things that just dont work. [07:25] Thank you @Ashael === TomyLobo2 is now known as TomyLobo [07:25] I find it easier to just use some theme ppa collection [07:25] antonio2: well where did you start experiencing problems? Also you are installing software that isn't really supported when you start using ppa's and stuff. [07:25] Well dr_willis... thank you for the help today. Didnt get it working yet but i shall persist [07:25] histo: checking it out now. [07:25] nodii: and I highly recommend installing Mint's Cinnamon GUI instead of Unity - http://cinnamon.linuxmint.com/ [07:25] i at least learned a little about ubuntu and stuff reading more. [07:26] how do I mount this device as a mass storage usb device? it shows in lsusb as MediaTek: http://thread.gmane.org/gmane.linux.ubuntu.user/265086 [07:26] I got problems as soon as i r3started [07:26] toodles [07:26] I will check them out thanks Ashael. [07:26] Doing that sudo...should i pick lightdm [07:26] ? [07:27] antonio2: according to the tutorial you should pick gdm. Although I don't udnerstand why they are doing that. [07:27] antonio2: Do you have console access to the box? [07:27] Term? [07:27] Im in term noe [07:27] Noe [07:27] antonio2: yes [07:28] Now..damn droid ;) [07:28] antonio2: You are in a terminal? [07:28] Yeah [07:28] antonio2: okay well choose gdm and sudo restart gdm [07:28] antonio2: let me know if you get to a login screen [07:28] Says read only fs [07:29] antonio2: what'd you boot to recovery mode? [07:29] Yeah [07:29] antonio2: boot to normal mode and hit ctrl+alt+f1 to get to console [07:29] antonio2: assuming that login manager doesn't come up. [07:30] Did that..grub came up [07:31] thufir_: what kind of phone? [07:31] antonio2: hit enter to boot the normal mode [07:31] mooo [07:31] Heh - it works histo ;) [07:32] K [07:32] relayed to my weechat thats connected to the znc server ;) [07:32] dr_willis: the one thing i noticed with that relay is it sends more data then it needs to. But dev is looking into that. [07:32] dr_willis: yeah it's pretty tight [07:32] Nothing [07:32] Hi. In xterm, instead of getting ^[a with Alt+a, I get á. Same for the other letters. This is Ubuntu 12.10. Is this the default behaviour and what should I use to change it? For the record I have installed only i3 (rather than Gnome and/or Unity). [07:32] i dont see what i type... hmmm [07:32] antonio2: Nothing meaning???? I can't see your screen remember. [07:33] dr_willis: it will update. [07:33] Shows that gnome blue screen...no login box and no cursor [07:33] on the client [07:33] dr_willis: mine did but I haven't tested the most recent version. He just updated the app. [07:33] yea. i will heep an eye on it [07:34] antonio2: Okay well that's not nothing. So X is workign the issue is with gdm then. [07:34] Ah.. [07:34] I see something that says [07:35] Starting load fallback graphics devices fail [07:35] antonio2: I haven't used gdm in awhile so I'm not sure. I thought they changed where you had to click an icon or something to get prompted for login. [07:35] antonio2: did it dump you back into a text console? [07:35] Nope [07:36] dr_willis: keep in mind it's a very young app with not many users. I made a few suggestions to him the other day. [07:36] antonio2: Do you ahve a mouse pointer on the screen? [07:36] I hit f1 and it shows a list of things...all starting with *starting [07:36] Nope [07:36] histo: my #1 thing is - how to easially disabel the timestamp. ;) its taking up to much space.. heh [07:37] histo: but i noticved it worked for about 2 min.. then stopped echoing what was going on in here.. will try it without the znc stuff here later [07:37] why would it say rfkill: command not found [07:37] shouldn't that have loaded standard when i installed ubuntu 12.10?

[07:51] Cavemanross: then you can atleast try ndiswrapper or some other drivers if the stock ones are working. What does sudo iwlist scan do? [07:51] Its now rw [07:51] support not scanning: network is down [07:51] i can install drivers by burning them to cd [07:51] antonio2: remove that ppa and the other gnome3 garbage you installed and switch back to lightdm. Then make sure ubuntu-desktop is installed. Then make sure that works. [07:51] does anyone use Nmap here? :) [07:52] you think ndiswrapper will work [07:52] lots of people use nmap Gunpowder [07:52] Gunpowder: yes [07:52] i tried other suggested drivers. [07:52] sweet! [07:52] its fun [07:52] scan and open ports :) [07:52] then see whats running [07:52] perfect tools [07:52] Cavemanross: sudo lsmod | grep ath [07:52] Hmm...cant remember what the ppa is called [07:52] antonio2: disable all of them perhaps? [07:53] Cavemanross: does it show the ath9k driver loaded? or lspci -k It think will show which driver for which devices [07:53] i got about 5 listings, all showing ath9k [07:53] ya [07:53] How can you disable all? [07:53] ath9k [07:53] antonio2: do you have networking working on that thing or not? [07:53] antonio2: check in /etc/apt/sources.list.d/ [07:53] Nope [07:54] Cavemanross: confirm with lspci -k that the network adapter is suing atk9k [07:54] kernel driver in use: ath9k [07:54] move all the junk from /etc/apt/sources.list.d/ to like /root/old-sources.list.d/ [07:54] Should i run sudo gedit on that file? [07:54] for the atheros network controller [07:54] antonio2: its not a file.. its a directory of files... look in there and see whats there [07:55] cd /etc/apt/sources.list.d/ [07:55] and do a 'ls' [07:55] hi [07:55] Cavemanross: http://linuxplained.com/how-to-fix-wireless-problems-in-ubuntu-1204-precise-pangolin/ This looks promising [07:56] can canyone help me with ndiswrapper on xubuntu 12.10? === KindOne- is now known as KindOne [07:56] I see the gnome.

[08:47] histo: yes, keelG: cool will have a look over there [08:47] didnt know how to use it [08:47] youconsulting: restart does not.

That will give you a .run file. You can execute that file and it walks you through the install [08:48] histo: how can i find my chipset? is there a command?

[09:22] when its downloaded. you will need to most likely Stop the X server in order to install it. yourimym1 .. make the file executable --> 'chmod +x foo.run' (use the right name) then 'sudo service lightdm stop' to stop X. then login at the console and cd to whever the file is at.. and sudo ./foo.run [09:22] ebuser: lspci -k === ant__ is now known as antonpiatek [09:24] am not familier with that commands can i give u the name and u give me command wih right name , cuz am started to get lost here :( [09:25] i am having some problems updating. specifically i get an error running any apt-get commands instructing i do "dpkg --configure -a" ... i do that, but it hangs [09:26] please do help, i have no ideas. i will paste outputs..

[09:28] yourimym1, its because it causes your xserver to close [09:28] yourimym1: you dident read what i said... [09:29] when its downloaded. you will need to most likely Stop the X server in order to install it. yourimym1 .. make the file executable --> 'chmod +x foo.run' (use the right name) then 'sudo service lightdm stop' to stop X. then login at the console and cd to whever the file is at.. and sudo ./foo.run [09:29] note i said it will STOP X.

[not to be impatient i just know you're pretty savvy] [09:32] i click on a channel link, but the server will not let me get into it. it seems that I did not click at all! [09:32] how to defragment? [09:32] cant use that command to make . run executable [09:32] right now due to system space limits with the wubi i have steam linked to the /host folder ( which s actually the windows drive) and it seems to be working fine.. so i was thinking that it could work for the whole /home directory in theory [09:33] nydel: i rarely have to dig into the apt system that much. so im not sure what to suggest [09:33] phoenixsampras: linux filesystem doesn't require defragmentation i do not believe [09:33] yourimym1: give us details... exact command used.. exact error message.... and so forth... you know the drill. ;) [09:33] !defrag [09:33] The default Ubuntu filesystem (ext4) is engineered to avoid fragmentation issues in most cases, see http://linkpot.net/behead/ for a simple example on how it achieves this.

[13:43] you will have to go 11.04 -> 12.04 to get to 12.10 anyway [13:44] 11.04 > 11.10 > 12.04 [13:44] with that many upgrades... may be easier to do a clean reinstall [13:45] i will do clean reinstall, no point upgrading [13:45] i think i'll go with 12.04 as it has some 3 years support [13:45] is 12.10 really that awesomer than 12.04 ? === Kitar|st_ is now known as Kitar|st [13:48] shmoon 3?

LTS versions of Ubuntu will be supported for 3 years on the desktop, and 5 years on the server; with the exception of 12.04 (Precise Pangolin), which will be supported for 5 years on the desktop. The current LTS version of Ubuntu is !Precise (Precise Pangolin 12.04) [13:52] That's what I thought.

[14:16] you use the FULL path to the command --> /bin/cp /path/from/file /path/to/file [14:18] /bin/cp /path/from/file to /pathto/file [14:20] i type "echo $PATH" and i receive /usr/bin/^PATH [14:21] You did use the right paths when you cp'd the file? [14:21] Hey All. Can anyone tell me how to delete a print job in Ubuntu? I am looking at prints with two jobs printing to the wrong printer (it is at home) but I can't stop it or remove it. Any ideas? [14:22] lpq and lprm commands [14:22] On Ubuntu 12.04, are packages of the type php- possibe to be used with packages of the type php5-, e.g. Will they run on the same php version, or they refer to different php versions? [14:23] show and remove print jobs [14:23] i did that u write [14:23] do u mean that /usr/bin is not right path [14:24] dr_willis: I did show, but I am not sure how to remove? [14:24] xpistos: 'lprm' i recall [14:25] giannis__: you dudent use /path/from/file litteraly did you?

[14:27] !blacklist [14:27] To blacklist a module, edit /etc/modprobe.d/my_blacklist.conf and add « blacklist » to the end of that list - To explicitly load modules in a specific order, list them in /etc/initramfs-tools/modules and type « sudo update-initramfs -u » [14:27] do you like need to rebuild the boot image or some magic like that ? [14:27] remove any blacklist.conf entry you made? [14:27] hey, I've partitioned the hard drive and fdisk p command shows my 2 partitions - but /dev is not showing up the second partition. Is there anyway to "refresh" somehow to show the partitions? [14:27] i can't switch between the resolutions with the nvidia driver [14:28] removed already [14:28] hackeron: theres a command to rescan them.. but i cant recall what it was.. been ages since i used it. [14:29] try modprobing for the module, make sure you can still load it [14:29] yourimym1, sudo apt-get install xserver-xorg-video-nouveau.... [14:29] l057c0d3r: or that [14:29] dr_willis: heh - hmmm :P [14:30] that should do it ? [14:30] well then restart and it should [14:30] dr_willis: I think partprobe! [14:30] hackeron: sounds about right [14:30] sudo restart after ?? [14:30] or update ! [14:31] well you could update first if you want [14:31] then reboot [14:31] but will have to have x restarted before you notice the changes [14:31] After which upgrades do i need to reboot?

[14:34] kanyl, mainly kernel and video [14:34] :( problem not solved [14:34] thanks :) [14:34] yourimym1, so what is the current issue [14:35] no vga driver , and QQ runs in slowmotion [14:35] qq?

[14:37] narcos: ircd-hybrid is the usual one most people use. [14:38] i have an idea === ubuntu is now known as Guest92369 [14:38] i'll get u the commands i've wrote from history , ok ? [14:38] i dont understand why you should want to host irc server, other than maybe in big LAN [14:39] Can someone explain to me why libsvn-perl 1.6.17 depends on perl>=5.14.2-6ubuntu1, even though it's actually linked against perl 5.10 and can't run in 5.14? It's essentially unusable. [14:39] genii-around: Ta, I'll give that one a go [14:39] i had my own irc server at one time.. but i was trying to use it and merge it with a game i was working on.. thought it would be cool for people in irc to talk to people ingame ext.. [14:40] narcos: You'll need to generate a certificate for the SSL unless you've done that already. [14:40] genii-around: I haven't done that - any hints?

[14:45] !ask | helplessMinecraf [14:45] helplessMinecraf: 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 [14:47] Hello. Running Ubuntu 10.04 and I was trying to upgrade the alsa-plugins and I believe I broke something after many uninstalls and reinstalls. Right now, Ubuntu won't load to a Desktop but just sits there blinking its 5 lights. Can someone help me fix this? [14:47] i downloaded and ran minecraft one time on a perfectly working ubuntu installation, and now the wireless card isn't functioning on that install, or anything else. Is there some kind of cmos setting on the card that could have been flipped, or am i out of luck? [14:48] Hi all; I went into rescue mode on my ubuntu virtual machine, and now it won't boot :( === slank_away is now known as slank [14:49] it says "VFS: cannot open root device "..." please append a correct "root=" boot option" [14:49] hey all, what security is recommended for Ubuntu Server 12.04 ? [14:51] yourimym1, maybe try a sudo update-initramfs -u [14:51] you did reinstall the nouveau package right [14:52] yes === ke5pcv is now known as ke5pcv-away [14:55] how do I append root= as a boot option in GRUB? [14:58] my god his stuff is messed up [14:59] that history log was almost impossible to follow [14:59] but i think i know where he's messing up [15:01] ghargoil: During boot, select the entry you want to edit, hit the "e" key, add the root= stanza, hit F10 to boot with that. If update-grub is not already putting the correct entry for whatever that entry is, you may need to manually go to /etc/grub.d/40_custom and create your own entry if you want it to be generated every time a new kernel is installed. Some OS like Android-X86 for instance are not detected by os-prober and need this [15:01] way. === Guest74502 is now known as karakedi [15:01] i accidently deleted my /boot (seperate) partition? [15:01] what should i do now? [15:01] how do i restore system !? [15:02] Hello? [15:02] Can somewhere here give me some advice? [15:03] someone* === francisco is now known as Guest8850 [15:03] genii-around: thanks! -- yeah, I'm trying to figure it out, but apparently it won't mount any of the drives.... at least the ones it says it detected [15:03] seanw95: People won't know whether they can or not until you ask your real question [15:04] Well I was having a problem earlier and was talking to a few guys in this IRC. Very helpful but couldn't solve my problem...so I posted on the forums here. [15:04] http://ubuntuforums.org/showthread.php?t=2112599 [15:04] Then I read somewhere something about installing ubuntu to a partition through windows [15:04] can create problems, I was wondering if this could be a possible cause? [15:04] seanw95: wubi is an awful idea [15:05] i deleted my /boot partition accidently [15:05] So i've read...Would you reccomend installing it without the windows based installer? [15:06] seanw95: the less windows is involved the better [15:06] ghargoil: Conceivably the filesystem is not marked clean or such. You may need to boot to recovery mode of te same kernel and fsck [15:06] Could I download the ISO, mount it using deamon tools and install to the partition from there? [15:07] seanw95: why not boot the iso [15:07] ghargoil: Another possibility is that your initial ramdisk does not have the filesystem driver for the type of filesystem you want it to mount during boot [15:07] my pc has no DVD drive... [15:07] not possible to emulate a DVD drive without an OS [15:08] seanw95: you can use a usb [15:08] !usb | seanw95: Do you have a usb stick? [15:08] seanw95: Do you have a usb stick?: For information about installing Ubuntu from USB flash drives, see https://help.ubuntu.com/community/Installation/FromUSBStick - For a persistent live USB install, see: https://wiki.ubuntu.com/LiveUsbPendrivePersistent [15:09] ThinkT510, for all it's limitations , wubi is still a neat way to introduce ubuntu to windows users with very litttle pain , mostly. [15:09] a WUBI install can be done with wht wubi.exe and the ubuntu.iso file no need for deamon tools. [15:09] killer: Sounds like you may need to reinstall everything. [15:09] BluesKaj: i'd much prefer a vm, absolutely more safer [15:09] genii-around: thanks for the help, I sent a ticket in to ask for some assistance, since the machine might be using some kinda weird setup for the filesystem :/ [15:10] EdwardL: for real ? [15:10] wubi is a bad idea, and you should feel bad >.> [15:10] vms can be daunting , ThinkT510 ...my experience with windows users is they are mostly cautious about breaking stuff [15:11] hi [15:11] Im getting an extrange error on an upstart command: start: Rejected send message, 1 matched rules; type="method_call", sender=":1.21" (uid=1000 pid=31247 comm="start test ") interface="com.ubuntu.Upstart0_6.Job" member="Start" error name="(unset)" requested_reply="0" destination="com.ubuntu.Upstart" (uid=0 pid=1 comm="/sbin/init") [15:11] EdwardL : kk , i will re-install but i have ubuntu installed on my usb too...and i want that the reinstalled ubuntu should not have grub but should use grub from usb [15:11] BluesKaj: a vm is perfectly safe, thats the whole point of virtualization: a perfect testing environment (muck something up then just start over, nothing is broken) [15:11] I'm not talking about windows users who want to try a new experience , i'm talking about the users whoi nedd convincing [15:12] who need convincing [15:14] Take note though, a 37 gb hard drive with 2gb ram will make ubuntu shit [15:14] my old computer is now a papeweight [15:14] Lol [15:14] No_One: please keep the language appropriate [15:14] ghargoil: If you can boot to a different kernel using the same filesystem, you can issue: mount to see what fs / is mounted as, then edit /etc/initramfs-tools/modules to include that driver, then issue sudo update-initramfs -k [15:14] Take note though, a 37 gb hard drive with 2gb ram will make ubuntu poo [15:14] better? [15:14] No_One, Ubuntu will run fine on that [15:15] Well… Serverside anyways [15:15] No_One: well, I disagree because it ran just fine on my netbook with less of each [15:15] No_One: I had an Ubuntu 12.04 server on 20GB and 2G RAM [15:15] Yup h00k [15:15] No_One: but the language was better [15:15] No_One: In what way though? I've got ubuntu running on much lower specs than that with no problems [15:15] I have Ubuntu 12.04 sever on 20GB SSD and 512mb RAM lol. [15:15] genii-around: the weird thing is that I couldn't actually boot to any of the vdas ... even though one obviously was supposed to be root (based on the size...) [15:15] it went into kernel panic [15:15] started out as an 8.x server [15:15] if you are worried about not having resources for it try lubuntu or kubuntu then [15:15] and now is stuck as iniram [15:15] been serving up webpages for year. [15:15] s [15:15] genii-around: I had to boot to the dev/mapper thing, but that only worked on the live cd [15:15] years, rather [15:15] init* [15:16] hah. I had the same issue; that box now runs 2012 [15:16] but yea I'll get kubuntu on my usb and try that [15:16] lvm is highly useful when it is working, but an absolute horrow to deal with when the kernel decides it doesn't speak it. [15:17] lvm++ [15:17] dang fidgety hand, I didn't want to start skype [15:18] ghargoil: Sounds like you have some RAID controller or AHCI setting in bios. What is the beginning part of the devicenames underneath the /dev/mapper hierarchy? [15:19] sudo mount -a is giving me "mount error(13): Permission denied" Is there any way to tell which of my fstab entries is causing the problem? [15:20] !botsnack [15:20] Yum! Err, I mean, APT! [15:21] Pici: try with -v? [15:21] !botsnack [15:21] Yum! Err, I mean, APT! [15:22] Hello. Running Ubuntu 10.04 and I was trying to upgrade the alsa-plugins and I believe I broke something after many uninstalls and reinstalls. Right now, Ubuntu won't load to a Desktop but just sits there blinking its 5 lights. I can login on another tty, and I can hit esc for other information. Can someone help me fix this? [15:22] also, is there i can just login to my computer as root, or is that frowned upon? [15:22] there a way* [15:22] EdwardL: you should give more information about what exactly you were doing to upgrade alsa-plugins and why it involved so many uninstalls and reinstalls [15:23] No_One: not recommended [15:23] k [15:23] jrib: ah, exactly what I needed. Thanks. [15:23] !root | No_One [15:23] No_One: 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 [15:23] genii-around: ah, not sure, you mean /dev/mapper/ ? [15:25] jrib: Wine was complaining about having me upgrade alsa-plugins. There was nothing in the repo, so I googled and downloaded the latest deb they had. When I tried it said dependencies were missing so I tried apt-get -f install, going into synaptic and searching, and it all became a mess where some "re-installs" ended up uninstalling a few things. [15:25] ghargoil: Yes. The first part of the actual device name there tells what kind of driver it is using for the RAID/AHCI driver. For Intel ICH cipset for instance it would be like isw_ [15:25] oh, no, it just is the hostname :/ [15:26] does any one know how to restore system ? [15:26] yourimym1: what do you mean [15:26] yourimym1: From backups that you have made? [15:26] hi! my installation says No package 'freetype2' found... I'm searching for this package on Ubuntu 12.04, but can't find a straight forward solution how to install this package on my x64 PC [15:26] genii-around: I'm gonna go make breakfast, but thanks for the help -- I'm just waiting for a ticket now. :/ [15:27] EdwardL: we can try to get you back to some working state if you want. However since 10.04 will lose desktop support in april of this year, I'd recommend just installing 12.04 since that way you'll likely resolve your original problem (issues with old wine) and also be ready for april [15:27] Hm... [15:27] ghargoil: You're welcome. I hope your issue gets a fast resolution. [15:27] hehe ty... me too [15:27] i dont have backup [15:28] reinstall then [15:28] jrib: Reinstall or use 'do-release-upgrade'? [15:28] is there way to do reinstalling from termnail ? [15:29] EdwardL: uh, good question. You should have backups anyway. If you want to try do-release-upgrade, you can. Worst-case scenario is it fails and then you fresh install anyway [15:29] how to install a package freetype2 on my 12.04 x64? [15:29] why does apache2 behave like malware on ubuntu? I cannot seem to get rid off it whatever I try [15:29] yourimym1, have you tried maybe sudo dpkg-reconfigure xserver-xorg [15:29] i'm unable to get working 2 separate desktops on my 2 display connected to my ati graphic card in xubuntu. someone can help me? [15:30] ElysiumNet, try: "sudo apt-get purge apache2" from the terminal [15:30] ElysiumNet: how are you trying? [15:30] is the kernel used in ubuntu, based on the debian kernel or the mainline kernel? [15:30] nevermind, I had to remove apache2-common [15:30] and all the other apache crap that goes with it [15:31] ElysiumNet: yes. Alternatively, you should be able to use "apt-get autoremove" to remove packages that were installed as dependencies but no longer required (like apache2.2-common) [15:31] jrib: that did not work [15:31] ElysiumNet: you installed it by installing "apache2"? Then you removed the apache2 package and then used autoremove? It /should/ work :/ [15:32] but it did not [15:33] oh well, at least that pest has now been removed [15:33] cool [15:33] ElysiumNet: Conceivably you are seeing it's configuration files wich are left behind even if you uninstall it. [15:34] genii-around: no, it was actually booting up on startup... === roo is now known as Guest98381 [15:43] hi, auth.log complains about PAM unable to dlopen(pam_ck_connector.so): /lib/security/pam_ck_connector.so: failed to map segment from shared object: Cannot allocate memory Do someone know how could i solve the issue?

Just installed it on my laptop, and after a reboot, my launcher is a bit messed up. The quick launch bar on the left is a more faded color, and I can't click and drag the icons to rearrange them; also, I am unable to resize windows by dragging them to the top, left, and right of the screen. Does anyone know how to solve these issues? === ubuntu is now known as Guest68370 [16:06] install a mouse [16:07] According to system monitor, pulesaudio is using "very High" memory(2.2MiB)--tho CPU says zero. [16:08] 2.2 Mibibyte is much? I don't think so. [16:09] greetings, my ZTE MF821D 4G modem isn't recognized as such in Precise, nm-applet detecting it as a wired connection, the usb_modeswitch rules from the "device_reference.txt" file found on the usb_modswitch website didn't help althought it might be because the DeviceID suggested in the file is different from the output of lsusb [16:09] Then why does is say "Very High" under the "priority" category? [16:09] that's not the memory usage that's "very high" [16:09] spaceneedle: because it takes high priority on execution. you don'T want your sound delayed === sideonee is now known as sideone [16:18] Every time I use ubuntu, the desktop gradually becomes really "laggy", effects such as transitions no longer appear smooth.

[16:19] Does anyone actually get their questions answered here, or is it just a bunch of people posting their problems? [16:19] i'm on ubuntu 12.10 and when i select Using Video driver for the AMD graphics accelerators from fglrx (proprietary) system becomes very unstable, why ?? [16:20] troubles_with_ub: depends on the question, your patience and the time of day :) [16:20] My laptop suddenly won't connect to my office network. I can connect to other networks. It does see my office network. Other devices can connect to my office network. Any advice? [16:21] stickDeath, not sure [16:21] i followed the guide on !ati [16:21] !ati stickDeath [16:21] I need help with a bash command. I'm not sure what to even google or I would. [16:21] bah im tired [16:21] i followed a few tutorials but none with success [16:21] !ati | stickdeath [16:21] stickdeath: For Ati/NVidia/Matrox video cards, see https://help.ubuntu.com/community/VideoDriverHowto [16:21] tim_: if it's a small consumer-grade router, try restarting it, some of them (especially certain Linksys ones) can end up choking up over time, throwing others off [16:21] i followed the ati guide on there and i've never had any problems [16:22] l057c0d3r: what card you have [16:22] ClientAlive, what is it you are trying to do in bash [16:22] I'm trying to run a homemade program and have the output get cat into a file but also see it in the terminal as well. This is the command I thought to run but it doesn't not print to the terminal "./bigO_2013.bin -f df2.dat | cat >> BigO_Output.txt" [16:22] what should I use? [16:22] ClientAlive, tee [16:22] ClientAlive: command > file.out [16:23] no tee [16:23] ClientAlive: use "tee" [16:23] he wants to see it as well [16:23] ClientAlive: don't know why you are using | [16:23] ahhh [16:23] then tee -a works well [16:23] ClientAlive: you want that output to go into your file or what ? If so, "cmd > file" or "cmd >> file" (to APPEND to file rather than overwrite) is enough [16:23] pseudonymous: it's a belkin. I've cycled the power on the router and the laptop. I spent an hour with belkin support yesterday but no luck. Can I set a statis IP address for it through edit connections? [16:23] yes see in termanal AND save in file (but concatenate in file so it doesn't overwrite). [16:23] l057c0d3r: what video card do you have? [16:23] amd radeon hd 7660g [16:23] oh, ok [16:24] using fglrx-updates [16:24] pseudonymous: so something like: ./bigO_2013.bin -f df2.datt >> BigO_Output.txt [16:24] ?? [16:24] l057c0d3r: i have 5000 series [16:24] i will try once more [16:24] pseudonymous: typo but you see what I mean [16:25] tim_: yea, you can try that, I'm not actually on Ubuntu right now, but right-click your connections applet, select "edit connections", find the wireless tab, click the wifi network for your office and hit "edit". You should be able to set static IP/gateway and DNS [16:25] pseudonymous: doesn't work [16:25] pseudonymous: do I set that in the IPV4 or IPV6 settings tab? [16:25] ClientAlive, like this [16:25] I have to see the output in the terminal as well in order to control the program [16:25] ClientAlive: "./bigO_2013.bin -f df2.dat | tee -a BigO_Output.txt" [16:25] ClientAlive: will, if "./big_XXXXXXX -f file" would normally write the output into the terminal it should, lest you're getting ERROR messages that you'd like to capture [16:26] (what you want to run) | tee -a (file to store it to) [16:27] tim_: that depends on your network, if you have another pc, look at the ip-adresses that you get there, if it's anything like XXX.XXX.XXX.XXX (4 numbers from 0-255) then IPv4, if you see base16 (0-9 and a-f) in the address, it's IPv6) [16:27] ubuntu 12.04 is not shutting down.. [16:27] * l057c0d3r waves at ikonia [16:27] weh logged off.. [16:27] nay help?? [16:27] been a ling night in here :-p i think im going to bed take it easy peeps [16:27] is anyone else facing similar problem? [16:27] ClientAlive: aah, well, then neither >/>> or a pipe (|) would work, they'd all simply redirect the output stream to being input to something else [16:28] ubuntu 12.02 not shutting down... [16:28] I don't know why but I see nothing on in the terminal if I do "./bigO_2013.bin -f df2.dat | tee -a BigO_Output.txt" OR "./bigO_2013.bin -f df2.dat >> BigO_Output.txt" The cursor just sits there waiting for input. This is a program which tests sorting algorithm performanc. I requires input from the user to tell it what to test/ do next. [16:28] pseudonymous: ikonia: llutz: yes [16:29] hmm i've used it with apt-get install before and i got prompted so not sure [16:29] ClientAlive: ok, so what you want is something like: 'cmd_here 2>&1 | tee my_new_awesome_log' [16:29] has anyone ever used backtrack?? [16:29] :) [16:29] kyotie: backtrack support is in another channel ;) [16:30] pseudonymous: lets see what happens. thx [16:30] ok..im newb to the irc thing...how do I jump to that channel?? can you help me please. [16:30] hello. I'm using an nvidia card with multiple monitors, and I sometimes turn the monitors off by cutting the power. When I turn them back on, the screens are all mixed up: half of the left screen is on the right monitor and so on. [16:30] any suggestions? [16:31] also gnome-shell has crashes (in the same situation). I usually end up switching to a virtual console, running gnome-shell, switching back, and logging out. that fixes it. [16:31] but it's a pain in the butt [16:32] kyotie: that really depends on your client though, doesn't it ? Normally the command is '/join ' but you'd have to be conntected to the right IRC server, too. I have no clue where backtrack hosts their irc [16:32] ok thanks pseudo [16:32] kyotie, type /join #backtrack [16:32] thanks [16:33] #backtrack hosts a chat here on freenode [16:33] <_methods> acutally i think it's backtrack-linux [16:33] <_methods> or used to be [16:34] could someone help me virtualbox from oracle??? [16:34] pseudonymous: Thanks. That solved it. [16:34] I think [16:34] kicklighter_ I'm pretty sure that's dangerously close to not being relevant for this channel - but go ahead and ask - Don't ask to ask (tm) :) [16:34] tim_: if it did, that's great :) [16:34] cnn.com [16:35] oops. wrong keyboard === eric is now known as Guest94322 [16:35] Riddell: fyi, binaries are built ;-) [16:35] well i installed virtualbox in ubuntu and now in windows xp machine i'mout of diskspace what to do next??? [16:35] pseudonymous: we're getting warmer :) Now, the cursor hangs waiting for input still. I happen to know what to enter to nav through a trial, so I make those inputs. After entering the imput to exit the program, then the output is printed to the terminal. What I need is for the output to continually be printed to the terminal as I go becuase I need to see the program's requests for input (instructions) AND the results (same as if I was [16:35] running it without logging anything). But then to have a log file to go to where the output is stored permanently. I considered modifying the person's program to do this but I thought there is an easier way via some bash command. [16:36] _methods, both chats exist , but the backtrack-linux one is probly where he should be with 200 population [16:37] <_methods> BluesKaj: either way i'm sure he's in for a treat in there [16:37] <_methods> i might have to join just to watch the fireworks [16:37] patience...but gonne eat first something.... [16:37] l057c0d3r: did you install from repositories or manual ? [16:37] kicklighter_, are you out of diskspace in your virtualbox xp intallation or in ubuntu? [16:38] from repositories [16:38] kicklighter_: well, here's a start: https://blogs.oracle.com/fatbloke/entry/growing_your_virtualbox_virtual_disk -- Beware though, unlike ZFS/Btrfs (and possibly quite many others) I'm fairly sure NTFS/FAT cannot grow their volumes except with hacks provided by thirdparty disk management tools [16:38] ok [16:38] oh [16:38] but i did do it from terminal [16:38] sudo apt-get fglrx-update amdccc-updates [16:39] l057c0d3r: ok thanks [16:40] stickdeath if updated versions dont install or dont work right remove them and go with just fglrx and amdccc [16:40] updates dont work for everyone [16:41] l057c0d3r: ok and do you mean sudo apt-get fglrx-update amdccc-updates or sudo apt-get install fglrx-update amdccc-updates [16:41] ClientAlive: "script log.dat" then "" then "ctrl-d" then "less log.dat" [16:41] ClientAlive: hmm, ok - I'd be lying(spell?) if I claimed I'd know what to do, THEN. Maybe you just don't flush output enough in that program you're running. tee *should* be getting the output as it's generated - and which should both write to the file AND output it to the console [16:42] bah yeah sudo apt-get install fglrx-updates amdccc-updates [16:42] i had to ask, i'm kinda noob here [16:42] :D [16:42] ty [16:42] heh sorry im actually trying to fall asleep :-p but it beeps and i cant resist... [16:42] Jeeze, I almost got it. I changed "...2>&1" to "1>&2" <- but it's not right bc the log file is empty after a run. [16:42] l057c0d3r: i get this (unable to locate package ) [16:43] here hold fast [16:43] loloool [16:43] Psuedonymous: I show "connected" in my wireless indicator but have no internet access and nothing in my router security log showing access. Thoughts? [16:44] sudo apt-get install fglrx-updates fglrx-amdcccle-updates [16:44] ClientAlive: 2>&1 means "take stderr(2) and send that to stdout(1)", in other words, swapping the two means you're writing everything to stderr which 'tee' isn't reading from, so at that point you may as well not have the "| tee filename" part as tee will receive no data :) [16:44] pseudonymous: thx man. Hey, what does the number in "1>&2" mean? Do they indiacte the order to process the commands or do they modify the command somehow? [16:44] then sudo amdconfig --initial for amd or sudo aticonfig --initial for ati [16:44] ClientAlive: 1 = stdout, 2=stderr [16:44] oi [16:45] if youj have dual graphics ie notebook user add --adapter=all before --initial [16:45] pseudonymous: OK [16:45] THX [16:45] downloading, i have single card [16:45] caps lock doh! [16:46] l057c0d3r: what the diference beetwen amd or ati [16:46] stickDeath, and for video hardware acceleration sudo apt-get install xvba-va-driver libva-glx1 libva-egl1 [16:47] not exactly sure.. just some cards say ati radeon others say amd bla bla go with what your card said [16:48] l057c0d3r: i think mine is ati, so i do: fglrx-updates fglrx-amdcccle-updates or fglrx-updates fglrx-aticccle-updates [16:48] or its the same [16:49] it would be amdcccle [16:49] the ati or amd part only comes in during the sudo ***config --initial [16:49] * Ubunturific is away: TTFN!

[17:00] !nvidia | mdgeroge [17:00] mdgeroge: For Ati/NVidia/Matrox video cards, see https://help.ubuntu.com/community/VideoDriverHowto [17:00] great [17:02] !nv | mdgeorge, first check this out [17:02] mdgeorge, first check this out: For Ati/NVidia/Matrox video cards, see https://help.ubuntu.com/community/VideoDriverHowto [17:02] (You spelled his nick wrong) [17:02] thanks [17:02] I suspect fixing this will be a project :/ [17:02] is anyone familiar with writing appindicators in python using gtk? [17:02] what is it that you need help with? [17:02] l057c0d3r: another thing, i think the last on :D i don't get audio from hdmi, do i need to install any package ?' [17:03] mdgeorge: Once you tether it to one monitor, you should be able to with multiple monitors [17:03] click on speaker in taskbar [17:03] !python [17:03] python is a popular Object Oriented scripting language included in Ubuntu. For more on Python please see http://www.python.org/ or #python [17:03] click sound settings [17:03] !python | st0b [17:03] st0b: please see above [17:03] look in there you have to select the card for sound to come out of it [17:03] SonikkuAmerica: here's the problem: I have multiple monitors working, but it keeps getting scrambled when I power the monitors down and back up [17:04] SonikkuAmerica, I know what python is, I just need help with Ubuntu's API. Documentation seems quite lacking [17:04] I always have to log out and back in [17:04] l057c0d3r: i only have Speakers, built-in audio [17:04] mdgeorge, do you have the proprietary drivers installed and set up as twinview? [17:04] stickdeath.. is hdmi hooked up right nwo [17:04] now [17:04] stevo: yes [17:05] l057c0d3r: no [17:05] l057c0d3r: only appears when hooked ? [17:05] i believe so [17:05] thats how mine works. [17:05] l057c0d3r: ok i will try it later in home [17:06] l057c0d3r: Oki thanks dude [17:06] I suspect that what's happening is since I'm powering up the monitors at the same time, it's triggering some kind of race condition in whatever software is reconfiguring the display [17:06] st0b: Did you see this? http://developer.ubuntu.com/resources/platform/api/ [17:07] mdgeorge, when you turn off one of the monitors, does it reconfigure the desktop for only a single monitor, or does the configuration stay as dual monitors? [17:08] SonikkuAmerica, yes, which lead me to http://developer.ubuntu.com/resources/technologies/application-indicators/ Still searching for a way to display text instead of an icon [17:09] stevo: I don't know. I have both monitors and a bunch of other peripherals plugged into a power strip...I just hit the button when I leave at the end of the day [17:09] st0b: Maybe you need to write the app indicator class as what you want displayed. [17:09] stevo: so I suspect the best solution is just "don't do that" [17:11] mdgeorge, I have a similar config and I'm actually trying it out :) [17:12] so I just did an experiment, and unplugging one of the monitors and plugging it in again didn't cause any trouble [17:12] stevo: and ditto for number 2 [17:12] mdgeorge, have you taken a look at https://help.ubuntu.com/community/XineramaHowTo ? [17:13] stevo: no...looking now [17:13] I tried my own and the only time I can reproduce it is when I remove the video cables, not the power ones [17:14] and it's my second monitor that it only seems to affect [17:15] hi [17:16] stevo: interesting [17:16] let me try that experiment === IboS_ is now known as IboS [17:17] struggling with this command.

[17:24] hmm...my xorg.conf sure looks interesting [17:24] there are two identical monitor sections despite the fact that I have two different monitors [17:25] yoyo [17:25] i play it [17:25] and two device sections despite the fact that I have only one card (although maybe it should be that way?) [17:25] mdgeorge, honestly don't know why, I would think it's possibly the nvidia conf is wrong [17:25] temmy: i'm not an expert, but Wine doesn't work for all win app [17:25] hi there. I've been on a royal chase trying to get my modem working under Ubuntu 12.04 64-bit. It is a modem as described here: http://www.thinkwiki.org/wiki/ThinkPad_56K_Modem_(MDC-1.5) [17:25] s [17:25] does that get generated by the nvidia-xsettings tool? [17:26] yeah [17:26] I wonder if anyone can recommend a version of ubuntu (even older) that they have no problems with modem support under. [17:26] hmm [17:26] but probably not if I don't run it as root [17:26] boxcat: any version [17:26] boxcat: if your modem has linux support [17:26] mdgeorge, when you configure your monitors through the nvidia x server settings, it saves them in the xorg.conf file [17:26] ok, I need to go, but that looks like something I can play with. thanks for your help stevo [17:27] mdgeorge, I think it auto runs as sudo now [17:27] mdgeorge, no problem! [17:27] oh, I see [17:27] ok, well, thanks again! [17:27] bye [17:30] Does anyone know of any issues with 12.04 and E5-2400 processors in Dells?

He's browsing big pages here. :p [20:20] https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/10-foot_user_interface [20:21] no 10 foot refers to 10 foot UI... a ui meant to be used on yoru tv while sitting on your couch (in theory a 10 foot distance) [20:21] i needed to look this up, too [20:21] <_methods> nice learn something new everyday [20:22] Stephini: the origins of that are weird, supposedly with a 40" screen the ideal viewing distance is 5-6 feet to experience 1080p at optimum, must be a big screen to reccommend 10feet [20:23] how do i find out if my graphics card is working as i didnt install any drivers? [20:23] FUzzles: what graphics card do you have ? [20:23] ikonia, ati radeon hd 3870 [20:24] ikonia, no drivers show in additional drivers [20:24] aeon guess what i read about the origin is wrong then...but the wiki claims it's the distance between tv and couch IIRC. [20:24] o m ggggggggggggg [20:24] FUzzles: I'm not really aware of what ati's / driver versions are needed to be honest [20:25] ikonia, is there a command i can do to test if its working? [20:25] Stephini: it's origin is probably right, as people don't place their tvs at the distance for best viewing but for where it's convenient in a room [20:25] FUzzles: look on the screen...do you have a dsktop [20:25] desktpo [20:25] ikonia, ummm ye [20:26] fixed! [20:26] FUzzles: so your card is working. [20:27] wait aeon you said optimum for a 40 at 1080 is 6? cause there is no way kinect works right at that short of a distance... :P [20:28] <_methods> aeon-ltd: why don't you use kylo?

But you can still access it from the upper-right gear. Also, all they have to do is smack the super key and the launcher is exposed... [20:30] anyone here know much about swaping mouse buttons? [20:30] It would also be nice if I could disable the "alt" key from opening up the command launcher === jimerickson is now known as Guest41122 [20:31] Fishscene: it's a good question though, is there an equivalent of group policies in linux, but without setting permissions that could break more than fix [20:31] 12.10 getting "Failed to fork (Cannot allocate memory)" when trying to launch things with plenty of memory free... ideas ?

I have a bizarre problem with 12.04LTS and Firefox 18. Firefox will no longer save anything. I can open files, but not save them. the 'save as' dialogue won't even come up, and I can't change the prefs to try to save in another directory besides 'Downloads'. Any help would be appreciated. [20:40] Basil1x: try reinstalling and using a new profile first [20:40] Stephini: i guess you'd need to have custom variants of firefox and the other applications yo want to use there to make this possible. normally the hardware developer would organise this for you. [20:40] Basil1x: back them up if you want to use them again though [20:40] ok my problem seems related to this http://tinyurl.com/byhbxle .. gnome-panel was using 20%. killall -9 gnome-panel freed it up [20:41] ...dang. Sorry. I accidently killed my machine... [20:41] So yes, I'm looking for a way to lock out users from the "System Settings". Does anyone know how to do this? [20:41] Stephini: if resolution isn't important you could just knock it down then you'd get a faux zoomed in view [20:42] Reinstalling did nothing. [20:42] lolz that would 1) defeat the purpose of a high def tv for your HTPC, and be worse than the firefox tweak...heh [20:43] tomreyn there is no hardware developer for my HTPC i'm just building a standard tower and loading it up with os and software myself. === Guest41122 is now known as jimerickson [20:44] <_methods> Stephini: are you running xbmc on it?

[20:58] not at all [20:58] grey area.. :p [20:58] you need to generate the crypt and put it in the right file is all [20:58] jrib: are you saying creating users and passwords and then copying the hash values from the password file is the only way? [20:58] hello, I am trying to install ubuntu server 12.04 on a dell precision 490, with a raid card [20:58] Guest85833: echo "test" | openssl passwd -stdin -1 [20:58] grub is not able to install on this raid card [20:58] +1 [20:58] Guest85833: that will do md5 [20:58] Guest85833: if I understand what you are saying, you have a hash X and want to know the password that generated that hash. That is not an easy thing to do [20:58] is there some way to figure out where to tell grub to install? [20:59] if the password "test" is also logged when the crypt is created the user can received the proper string though - i would assume he is doing it with some script so it should be a breeze then to do a for loop of password and within the loop send the string and write the file [20:59] @ Guest85833 [20:59] he wants to know any or many passwords that generated the hash [20:59] how can i let my evolution mail work with hotmail? got ubuntu 10.04 thanx [20:59] I've reinstalled Firefox... no joy... still will not save. [21:00] lol [21:00] maybe instal windoz [21:00] it's not really clear what Guest85833 wants. Maybe you can rephrase Guest85833 [21:00] jrib: I will know what the passwords will be. I wanted to test how effective 'john' is in finding the passwords from the hashes. [21:00] W|cKeD: if hotmail provides POP server information you can enter it into evo [21:00] it depends on the password strengths [21:00] W|cKeD: or IMAP [21:01] and your CPU power when using john [21:01] day on #ubuntu and gotta say <3 loving it [21:01] dw-, that's the problem bro hotmail got POP but it keeps askin for password countless times i typed all i got was error what seems to be the problem? [21:01] Guest85833: bean|work gave you a way to generate hashes of passwords in the same way ubuntu does it. The scheme is documented in "man 5 shadow" [21:02] * No_One waits while it makes [21:02] jrib: Thanks I'll check that out [21:02] so im trying to setup a NAS and I have the option of doing it as NFS, CIFS, or NFS/CIFS. I'm basically trying to dump data onto the NAS from a ubuntu server and then gonna take the data and put it onto a windows server. which protocol should I go with?

I'm using xrandr to set the output, but it doesn't appear right. I'm not sure what the resolution or refresh rate should be (It's an old CRT monitor). Is there anyway to determine this information?

[21:03] SolarisBoy, not at the same time, no. [21:04] clement: I mean, for example, adding a directory [21:04] im using the NAS as a temp storage then gonna format server into windows server [21:04] gueriLLaPunK: if windows is accessing it i guess do cifs if linux do nfs [21:05] if its both try cifs only because that would be easier [21:05] <_methods> keith__: google the monitor and find the settings [21:05] I have the option for nfs/cifs in my server control panel [21:05] or i can choose either or [21:05] that is most likely sharing the same data via two protocols which is fine also [21:05] jrib: I figured out it's related to the session insteat of gnome terminal because when I plug a ethernet wire, I've got "unmanage" from network-manager [21:05] keith__, i think it should be defined in PAL/NTSC std somewhere? PAL is afaik 50hz 720x576 and NTSC 60 Hz for example [21:05] SolarisBoy, http://i.imgur.com/mlQKAZn.png [21:06] clement: ok [21:06] jrib: I'll try asap to change the file [21:06] keith__, there is also secam std [21:06] so im safe to go with the 3rd option? even if i choose not to stay with windows [21:06] keith__, in what country you live?

[21:06] yeps [21:06] np [21:07] so with the dual protocol, i can choose to mount it as NFS in *nix and when i boot into windows, i can use CIFS? sorry, never done this before [21:07] gueriLLaPunK: thats correct - more so you can do it at the same time it's basically providing the native file sharing protocol for windows/linux at the same time [21:08] fantastic [21:08] thanks again [21:08] np gueriLLaPunK [21:08] how oto share desktop or just the browser ?

But best of luck in figuring this out! [21:15] keith__, then its RCA (composite video) to NTSC CRT TV. Not sure which resolution/refreshrate this would be (i live in europe) but id guess something similar to 480i (480x720 with ~60hz) [21:16] dw-, can't find it tho....i mean can't find any window that i can possibly put some ports to the mail servers [21:16] im in filesystem/mnt directory [21:16] is thjis where the NAS is?

[21:19] SonikkuAmerica: yes, indeed if I use the API in google chrome it recognises it [21:19] SonikkuAmerica: Yes, I'm trying to output to a TV via RCA, and I'm not sure what the proper settings are for resolution and refresh rate. It's an old panasonic CRT TV and I can't find a model number [21:19] question. how do i check to see if a mounted NAS is correct? is there a cmd that i can use in terminal? [21:19] SonikkuAmerica, do you know what refresh rate to use when transmitting over composite to ntsc crt? is it 30 or 60 fps since its 480i (interleaved) [21:19] SonikkuAmerica: Is it active only on www.google.com, or also on www.google.co.uk? [21:20] SonikkuAmerica: I really do not understand, and do not seem to find anything online [21:20] eos: I'm not sure... [21:21] keith__, may aswell be 525x720 or just VGA 640x480 [21:21] also try 30 hz [21:21] SonikkuAmerica: Does it work on your machine? [21:21] eos: Honestly, I've never tried it. [21:21] id guess VGA @ 30 hz should display something [21:22] eos: I just tried it, and it works. === cal is now known as Guest13814 [21:23] syntroPi, keith__: I'd say 30 is a good only if it's an old TV.

(Not just only) [21:23] eos: The main site (www.google.com) [21:24] SonikkuAmerica: It compels me to use google.co.uk, how can I change it temporarily? [21:25] SonikkuAmerica: It compels me to use google.co.uk, how can I change it temporarily? [21:25] syntroPi: Ok 640x480 is no good [21:25] keith start with 640x480@30fps and then go up (60 hz) and 525x720 and so on. you could display a circle and see if it appears as ellipse to see if its correct aspect ratio [21:25] eos: Not sure. It auto-detects your locale. It should be available in Britain though. [21:26] eos: if you put in a query it stays on .com http://google.com/?search?q=test [21:26] eos: Go to google.co.uk in the bottom right on mine there is a google.com link you can click [21:26] hello [21:27] queue 1800 hellos [21:27] dw-: it works!

[21:29] No_One: not by default [21:30] well I nano'd it and its empty [21:30] tbruff13: you are missing the part where microsoft office formats are closed :) [21:30] :/ [21:30] No_One: you should never nano the /etc/sudoers file. You should use "sudo visudo" [21:30] xangua, libreoffice is advertised as being able to open and read them and it can all execpt for database and only on my laptop [21:31] kenalex: I don't think so. But there isn't really a program that can do that purely. You might check out Mythbuntu, though. [21:31] tbruff13: Sue them if you feel they are doing false advertisement. [21:32] ok thanks [21:32] Hello [21:33] it is not false I am just missing some package see http://www.libreoffice.org/features/base/ [21:33] tbruff13: Have you asked them about these packages?

[22:22] aeon with all the sites for dvd drives and mobo i am hoping i can find fans too... :P just figured i'd ask before searching since someone may know a good store off hand... :P [22:22] can anybody suggest a free vpn?

[22:24] SonikkuAmerica: A collection of guides is just fine :) [22:24] syntroPi, ok, so theres no program for ubuntu/linux that knows what is the current connection speed of mobile broadband modem? Im getting bored looking at the different lights on the dongle itself.. :-/ [22:25] reindeer, idk maybe there is, was just my first idea [22:25] syntroPi, ok, well what would you suggest as a command? :) [22:26] any one knows about installing vga driver ! [22:26] onto i guess it's easier and more efficient than installing and struggling with configurations etc, ubuntu-studio has many media programs preinstalled and they have their own dedicated support channel, #ubuntustudio [22:26] Anyone: Does Ubuntu Studio have Wubi or not?

[22:28] rykuu: so hi + welcome, and i bet you can get an answer, so shoot :) [22:28] !gdebi [22:28] deb is the Debian package format, also used by Ubuntu. To install .deb files, simply double-click (in Ubuntu) or click (in Kubuntu) on them to start the GDebi utility. [22:28] thx ubottu [22:28] I am trying to forward port 25565 to my server but when I use canyouseeme.org to see if it is open it says it ain't. I turned off the firewall and that still doesn't help [22:29] yourimym1: are you asking how to install a .deb (a debian package), which provides a hardware driver, using synaptic? [22:29] use [22:29] yes tomreyn [22:29] <_helios_> rykuu: could be your router [22:29] yourimym1: i guess you got your answer already then (from ubottu and syntroPi ) ;-) === Rallias is now known as Guest50717 [22:30] yourimym1: it's not neccessarily a good idea to install some deb files, though, if you don't know for sure it will fit your system [22:30] what could be wrong with it? its brand new and all [22:30] <_helios_> rykuu: do you have your router set to forward the port? [22:31] yup, for both TCP and the other thing [22:31] rykuu: Is your server behind the same router as you are? [22:31] <_helios_> rykuu: Sometimes port forwarding doesn't work for some reason, You could just set the computer with the open port as a DMZ [22:31] tomreyn i've already messed with my system , trying to survive to get my vga working barley [22:32] ya, 2 computers connected to the same router. And i made sure its being forwarded to the right one [22:32] rykuu: Then most likely (I'd even bet on it) your router does not allow loopback connection from inside via the outside address. [22:32] rykuu, is the deamon/program on your server port 25565 running when you scaned it? maybe you also can scan it locally with nmap [22:33] can i reinstall QQ from terminal ? [22:33] sorry, I am new to alot of this stuff, so DMZ/nmap and other things like that make no since to me [22:33] bekks, isnt canyouseeme.org from outside? [22:33] syntroPi: Yes. And he is trying to access it from inside. [22:34] <_helios_> ok rykuu DMZ is a setting on your router that allows connections to a certain local IP connected to that router usualy looks like 192.168.1.2 etc... [22:34] ok [22:35] I am in my router right now on the server computer. so I can do what you tell me [22:35] <_helios_> So for the computer that is the server set it's ip as the DMZ on your router. [22:35] rykuu, you want to make your servers port 25565 available through your NAT??? router to the outside internet right? === dirtypillows is now known as ShameSpiral [22:35] rykuu: Basically you cant do anything, since the same as I told you above applies for both a portforwarding and a DMZ. [22:36] yourimym1: what is QQ? [22:36] helios, how do I do that.... syntroPi, ya I want to set up a Minecraft server for public use [22:36] hi, I just got a new Epson printer/scanner... will it work with ubuntu 12.04? [22:36] ubuntu 12.10 quantail [22:36] <_helios_> rykuu: it should be a setting in your router under Firewall possibly that says DMZ === DarkAce-Z is now known as DarkAceZ [22:38] rykuu, start your server software and do from your pc a "nmap -p 25565 and see if its open. Then check port forwarding on your router and issue the scan with canyouseeme.rog [22:38] yourimym1: it's possible to install it from a text-only interface / terminal. there is a mini.iso you can use for this purpose. mind you, that's an advanced installation. however, if you just want to reinstall from some other media (USB key or DVD) then you should be able to use the graphical installer, too (does it not work for you?) [22:38] hi [22:38] I am not seeing anything on my router settings about DMZ or even the firewall (its a netgear WNDR3700v4) [22:39] <_helios_> rykuu: Try what syntroPi just said. [22:39] ok, one sec... how do I nmap? [22:40] <_helios_> In your terminal type nmap what syntroPi said [22:40] <_helios_> You might need to install nmap which you just sudo apt-get install nmap [22:41] does the nmap need to be done on the server computer or can it be done on this (my other) computer that is connected to the same router [22:41] <_helios_> rykuu: You do it from the client side [22:41] so from the non-server computer? [22:41] <_helios_> rykuu: yes [22:42] ok, is it something natrualy on a windows 7? [22:42] <_helios_> rykuu: no it's linux === jack is now known as wNz [22:43] oookkk..... will it work on W7? [22:43] <_helios_> rykuu: I don't use Windows anymore so I couldn't tell ya [22:43] Ok, one sec while I google it [22:43] can anyone tell me if an Epson printer/scanner will it work with ubuntu 12.04? [22:43] yes Epsom will work just fine [22:43] Is anybody really good with rdiff-backup? I'm trying to test it out with a local setup here but I'm hitting a ton of road blocks. The man page has helped quite a bit but there are some areas I'm not 100% on yet. In particular, I want to specify which directories I want to back up... rsync just lets you do rsync one two three, which syncs one and two to three... I can't figure that equivalent out with rdiff.

[22:45] hello [22:45] Hey, sorry, I was directed to this channel and I'm not sure that I'm in the right place for this question..but. I have an ancient Dell Inspirion 8100 that I am trying to boot Ophcrack on. I'm pretty new to linux in general, and I am getting stuck on the boot at 'kernel_thread_helper+0x6/0x10' [22:45] CD for Epsom most likely won't be for Linux ;) [22:45] tomreyn, it says that link is invalid [22:45] I have gone through pages and pages of Google and can't find help at all [22:45] rykuu, id guess its http://screenshots.portforward.com/routers/Netgear/WNDR3700/Port_Forwarding_Port_Triggering.htm [22:46] syntropPi, getting a 404 with that link [22:47] Anyone by chance have a clue? [22:47] rykuu, hmm weird for me this loads a screenshot [22:48] hi I am using ubuntu 12.04, when laptop boots, i selected ubuntu generic, then selected fsck option, then fsck started running currently it is displaying /dev/sda5: 760620/1774192 files (0.4% non-contiguous), 6067391/7090176 blocks, laptop hardisk light is not glowing, is it still checking disk or what is going on now? [22:49] anyone experienced running multiple instances of tor ? [22:49] it runs as a service, so i'm confused how to run such a program more than once [22:49] hi I am using ubuntu 12.04, when laptop boots, i selected ubuntu generic, then selected fsck option, then fsck started running currently it is displaying /dev/sda5: 760620/1774192 files (0.4% non-contiguous), 6067391/7090176 blocks, laptop hardisk light is not glowing, is it still checking disk or what is going on now?

Example of proper form: "-100,200-1024,T:3000-4000,U:60000-" [22:50] QUITTING! [22:50] thats what I get [22:51] If I install a program from the repos like Eclipse that allows plugins which can be installed through the program (i.e., CDT plugin for Eclipse), but the plugin is also offered through the repositories (CDT is offered through Eclipse and the repos), which would be a better installation source? Does it matter? [22:51] bekks if i tough hard disk won't even feel if it is doing something [22:51] rykuu, how did you lauch it? [22:51] Rock: Because it is evaluating the inodes read in RAM. [22:51] <_helios_> rykuu: what was the port number you were trying to use again? [22:51] ummm, the nmap is a gui program [22:51] 25565 [22:51] windows grml [22:52] bekks any idea how much time it is going to take [22:52] hello can any one know how i install vga driver i've downloaded ! === Shehrazad is now known as ElixirVitae [22:52] Rock: Depends on the size of the filesystem. [22:52] bekks they should improve the program at least giving current status so the users are not fooled into thinking what is happening [22:53] i never used it from windows but it should be able to scan port 25565. on linux it would be something similar to "nmap 192.168.0.2 -p 25565" on a terminal when your server has ip 192.168.0.2 [22:53] Hey, sorry, I was directed to this channel and I'm not sure that I'm in the right place for this question..but.

[23:09] rykuu, the forward is next step, it wouldnt matter in your local lan. firewall doesn not exist in default ubuntu installation, so i guess its something with your minecraft server software... are you sure its currently running and configured to open port 255665??

[23:12] I need to setup a vpn [23:12] with multiple external ips [23:12] speaking of minecraft anyone have a server that i could go on [23:12] i'm wondering if somone can advise the ip range/s for the ubuntu update servers [23:12] ^^ [23:13] errr why ? [23:13] they are behind load balancers [23:13] as for your other questions I am running 12.04 desktop, I have a firewall (I think it was called ugf or something) installed, and no I have not messed with the iptables. [23:13] ufw is iptables [23:14] i never used that [23:14] but make sure it wouldnt block that port [23:14] i've got several servers behind multiple firewalls and i need to add new ACL's to for these servers to allow upgrades, i'm not in a position to allow a 'trusted' mirror and i only have authorisation to use core ubuntu servers [23:15] i am aware they're doing load balancing hence why i asked for ip range/s === Guest91507 is now known as DaZ [23:15] bob___: then you will struggle as they are load balanced [23:15] and do change [23:15] running 10.04 with a backported php5.3.5, on plesk, today i got those errors: "[Tue Feb 05 23:51:11 2013] [warn] mod_fcgid: process 13892 graceful kill fail, sending SIGKILL" - could it be problems with php or is it something else?

[23:19] rykuu, if its ufw you can check it with "sudo ufw status" disable it with "sudo ufw disable" and enable it again "sudo ufw enable" to check if its doing the blocking [23:19] but only lb's within their ip range [23:19] ? [23:19] Yo u guys are talking bout ip tables [23:19] and shiiiiitt [23:19] and my vpn needs iptables [23:19] R00tk3y: hi, drop the lanuage please [23:19] R00tk3y: if you want to use this channel, that language is unacceptable [23:20] bob___: don't know if the whole range changes, I don't monitor it [23:20] Ikonia sorry bro [23:21] I disabled it and it still is not seeing me [23:21] ok, back in december, security.ubuntu.com resolved to 91.189.92.184 & 91.189.92.190 -- today it resolves to 91.189.91.13 & 91.189.92.200 [23:21] so i guess that matches the CIDR range i listed above [23:21] was wondering if anyone here could confirm that's all [23:21] saves me going on a break/fix mission in 12 months [23:21] bob___: mailing canonical would probably be the best bet [23:22] cool, thanks :) [23:22] rykuu, did you check the log files of your minecraft server software? does it use the right interface (that it connected to your lan)? does it open the correct port? is it really using tcp proto? [23:22] couldn't find any info on their website doing a quick search [23:22] bob___: I don't imagine it's top secret knowledge... [23:22] so they will probably share willingly [23:22] ummm one second [23:23] half a gig of ram is not good for fast computer usage.... gimme a moment to get to the server settings [23:23] hello is there anyone can help me to install correct vga driver [23:24] rykuu, you also can use "netstat -npl" on the server to see open listening (service) ports [23:25] i did the netstat -npl, and I do not see 25565 there [23:25] how do i run multiple instances of a program that runs as a service [23:25] datsmoida: such as ? [23:26] Can anyone please help me setup VPN Server with iptables for multiple external ips??? [23:26] rykuu, try "sudo netstat -tulpen | grep 25565" when running your minecraft program [23:26] is there another support room ? [23:26] should be tcp listen [23:27] yourimym1: there are many support rooms, depending on what support is needed [23:27] vga drivers [23:28] Listen up bros [23:28] rykuu, try running "sudo netstat -tulpen | grep 25565" on your server while running your minecraft program [23:28] I need to install vpn [23:28] yourimym1: for what card ? [23:28] nvidia [23:28] !nvidia | yourimym1 [23:28] yourimym1: For Ati/NVidia/Matrox video cards, see https://help.ubuntu.com/community/VideoDriverHowto [23:29] cant do this ubottu [23:29] yourimym1: why ? [23:29] Hello! I want to run a bash script at login. The instruction I want to run is: $source /opt/intel/composer_xe_2013.1.119/bin/compilervars.sh intel64. I tried to add that to /etc/rc.local, I used the same instruction at Startup Applications in dash. [23:29] need expert guide [23:29] R00tk3y, https://wiki.ubuntu.com/VPN [23:29] It doesn't work. Any suggestions? [23:29] yourimym1: what is not clear to you [23:29] ok, I typed the cmd and it says: tcp6 0 0 192.168.1.5:25565 :::* LISTEN [23:30] ikonia ; installing it manually and find right driver [23:30] 1000 25226 7567/java [23:30] yourimym1: what part is not clear from the guide I've just given you [23:31] how to nvidia [23:32] this part [23:32] !nvidia | yourimym1 [23:32] yourimym1: For Ati/NVidia/Matrox video cards, see https://help.ubuntu.com/community/VideoDriverHowto [23:33] ben nvidia yes [23:33] yourimym1, is there something you need to configure manually? otherwise it's easiest to let Additional Drivers do it for you? [23:34] additnal driver all not working exept nouvia and it runs sys here in slowmotion [23:34] !details | yourimym1 [23:34] yourimym1: 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 ..." [23:34] rykuu, ok then let it running and do the nmap from your w7 box again [23:35] rykuu, hmm tcp6 means ipv6 ? [23:35] hi [23:35] same results in the nmap with the port saying open...... dunno, I have no clue what tcp6 is [23:36] ben ; i've tried all driver listed , only one worked , the first one , but runs system very slowly so i want to download driver manually and install [23:36] For the latest Ubuntu what is the best route for multiseat [23:36] rykuu port open? nice... then do canyouseeme.org [23:36] multiseat ? [23:36] rykuu canyouseeme.org on your EXTERNAL internet ip of course [23:36] ikonia, one box... many users with their own screen and keyboard? [23:36] no dice [23:37] theuser: you'd need special hardware for that [23:37] theuser: or something like ltsp [23:37] ikonia, nope [23:38] just a multihead gfx card or several cards [23:38] rykuu the nmap showed that your servers port seems to be open in lan, now you have to config your router to forward it correctly from your external ip address [23:38] how are you going to connect multiple users to one system with multiple monitors when video cards come with 2 output [23:38] theuser: right, so thats special hardware [23:38] theuser: running an xserver on each head is not a problem [23:38] ok, back to the router now. [23:38] it would be the prot forwarding right? [23:38] rykuu http://screenshots.portforward.com/routers/Netgear/WNDR3700/Port_Forwarding_Port_Triggering.htm id try add custom service [23:39] ikonia, a graphics card is "exotic" hardware now ? [23:39] theuser: it is if you want multiple users as you do [23:39] yourimym1, this is a pretty thorough guide, makes it easy. read it all. https://help.ubuntu.com/community/NvidiaManual [23:39] theuser: more so depending on the xorg driver and it's capabilities to run an xserver per output [23:39] I did the add coustom service to get it there in the first place [23:39] rykuu port 25565 both times and your 192.168.1.5 [23:40] ikonia, from my exp. any "normal" graphics card would do [23:40] rykuu hmm is it set to tcp or tcp6? [23:40] however Every howto i find seem to be 2-3years old so i'm just curious if there are any "new" "right" ways of doing things [23:40] or are we stuck to the hackedup ways we've done it for ages now [23:40] the process is the same, as long as your hardware will actually support it [23:40] there is only TCP and UDP options when portforwarding [23:40] rykuu i never used netgear routers before [23:40] tcp then [23:41] guys what would mean tcp6 in netstat? is that ipv6??? [23:41] I just tried to install the ATI 12.3 drivers and got the following error message: [Error] Kernel Module : Failed to build fglrx-8.951 with DKMS. Will this keep me from having a stable system? Or should I try to fix this before rebooting? [23:42] How long does vmware take to install on ubuntu [23:42] their servers dl speed isnt that fast [23:42] hi [23:42] i am having issues with my ubuntu [23:42] its running extremely slow [23:43] ooh i meant virtualbox [23:43] and showing Send Error report message [23:43] minute after minute [23:43] ok, i edited it to be just TCP rather than both TCP and UDP. [23:43] is i still have to run Xephyr on single GPU setups... i will get more cards instead [23:44] anyone hear me? [23:44] rykuu, im not sure what that tcp6 in your netstat meant. i have nginx http server here on ipv4 and it just said "tcp" [23:44] crazybrain2: yes [23:44] rykuu, tcp and udp would include tcp so it should have worked?... hmm [23:45] crazybrain2: a screenshot might help the volunteers here [23:45] hmm... who knows..... and canyouseeme still wont work [23:45] tcp6 is ipv6 [23:45] aeon-ltd: it showing report a problem [23:45] again and again [23:45] and is running very slow [23:45] crazybrain2: shut down, start up with live cd [23:46] crazybrain2: well what's the problem[report] [23:46] crazybrain2: check ram using memtest [23:46] Ben64: my ram is 2gb [23:46] rykuu, i think there should be just "tcp" and not "tcp6" since you are using ipv4 192.168.1.5. but since nmap showed that port is open i think it should be forwardable [23:46] and i am using laptop [23:46] crazybrain2: ok? doesn't mean your ram is good [23:47] crazybrain2: what does the report say? [23:47] Ben64: its working damn well in windows though [23:48] the report problem window is not opening properly [23:48] then what is the problem? [23:48] rykuu, are you using ssh on your server? maybe try forwarding port 22 and see if canyouseeme.org would show that. then remove it again if you dont want to be ssh-able from internet [23:48] i think your router config is [23:48] ok, I will try that [23:48] rykuu, try the ssh thing to rule that out [23:49] crazybrain2: can you just take a screenshot please? [23:49] i think i should uninstall graphical features [23:49] rykuu, are you using ssh on your server? [23:49] ya [23:49] k [23:50] I just tried to install the ATI 12.3 drivers and got the following error message: [Error] Kernel Module : Failed to build fglrx-8.951 with DKMS. Will this keep me from having a stable system? Or should I try to fix this before rebooting? [23:50] did not work [23:50] rykuu then its your router [23:50] at least you know now [23:51] dforthman: You probably want to install dkms then reinstall the ATI drivers [23:51] aeon-ltd: http://tinypic.com/r/2utmaew/6 [23:51] so I need to goto netgear support then [23:51] rykuu maybe you need to do it different? apply somewhere? disable some extra security? [23:52] genii-around, says "dkms is already the latest version" [23:52] rykuu, shouldnt be too difficult to figure that one out... [23:52] dforthman: Do you have build-essential and kernel headers installed? [23:52] which model is it exactly? [23:53] I have no clue what security is installed on the server. when I started up on the first run after installing Ubuntu Desktop, I installed all the security that is showed was recomended [23:53] genii-around, yes. both are the latest version [23:53] rykuu, i mean on your router [23:54] oh.... whatever came factory default [23:54] s there any channel for nvidia support here or vga issues [23:54] dforthman: It might be useful to see the whole output then from trying to install the ATI drivers. Can you pastebin it? [23:54] yourimym1: I'm still waiting to hear your issue [23:54] sure can, one minute [23:55] rykuu, service type "port forwarding", add custom service, ip 192.168.1.5, port 25565 (external and internal), upd and tcp, apply and then it _should_ work at least i think so [23:55] anyone familiar with port forwarding on netgear routers here?# [23:56] genii-around, http://paste.ubuntu.com/1614552/ [23:56] crazybrain2: what did you do before this happened? [23:56] syntroPi: Which model? [23:57] rykuu, which is your exact netgear model ? [23:57] rykuu, is it WNDR3700? or other? [23:58] that did not work... it is WNDR3700v4 [23:59] DaemonicApathy, how would be forward port tcp 25565 to 192.168.1.5 on WNDR3700v4 ? [23:59] I have that model. Port forwarding is usually as easy as going to 10.0.0.1 (for me) and using the Port Forwarding menu option. === ericab is now known as ericab_away === slank is now known as slank_away [23:59] Minecraft> [23:59] ?
