[00:03] fbdystang: listen to escott actually. [00:03] fbdystang, its not clear what you are trying to accomplish so its hard to know what is appropriate [00:03] escott: then again escott, this is an auxillary drive. [00:03] escott: hes not booting from it [00:03] escott: its a backup [00:04] Senjai, when did he say that? [00:04] ok it shows ubuntu@ubuntu at the live cd terminal [00:04] fbdystang, what is your objective in copying it over [00:04] fbdystang: sudo chown username /mount/point [00:04] ^ [00:04] quicker than me [00:04] <-- e11bits (~e11bits@koln-5d8103c0.pool.mediaWays.net) has quit (Quit: Good night and good luck) [00:04] Senjai: Please don't flood; use http://paste.ubuntu.com to paste; don't use Enter as punctuation. [00:04] backing it up [00:05] Sorry for the accidental post [00:05] I meant the hotkey to auto pastebin it [00:05] Senjai, ok. missed that response [00:05] I am trying to update my system with a few servers running on it. It currently has 11.04 and I would like to update. I would like to copy over my HD to a connected SATA RAID for backup in case I make stuff go wonky on the update [00:05] escott: np! its always good to have many opinions anyway.

[00:06] fbdystang: as long as you dont mess with the boot partition, chown username /dir/ or sudo chmod 111 /dir/ should work [00:06] hey I need to uninstall xbmc and all its plug ins in it. I used sudo apt-get remove xbmc and then I used sudo apt-get --purge remove xbmc. after reinstalling the programs the addons are still there . im lost need help [00:07] google update-rc.d [00:07] sorry i used autoremove [00:07] sam___: ask in #xbmc or google their wiki [00:07] Senjai: will that permenantly change the owner? Or just for the Live cd session? === glyff is now known as glyf [00:07] ccvvcc: I tried update-rc.d mysql defaults [00:07] it's correct? [00:08] fbdystang: it will change it permenantly until you change it back [00:08] fbdystang: which you can do afterwards [00:08] fbdystang: not the best way of doing things [00:08] fbdystang: but it'd work [00:08] Senjai: I don't think that would work because I have a lot of different server files with differenct owners on them, would it change all those over as well? [00:09] hello #ubuntu [00:09] fbdystang: shouldn't be recursive [00:09] kalib, thats correct. [00:09] Hi Folks ! [00:09] fbdystang: check the man pages [00:09] fbdystang: to make sure [00:09] Senjai: Is there a better way? [00:10] So I'm trying to install ubuntu from an iso without burning a disk, and I'm able to successfully boot from the iso, but it's ignoring the toram option and locking the drive the iso is on [00:10] kalib, i hope you used sudo [00:10] fbdystang: doing it while logged into the system [00:10] fbdystang: and copying it over [00:10] fbdystang: lol [00:10] fb you should be able to copy anything with sudo [00:10] fbdystang: i dont know what the issue is [00:10] I had to fiddle with the grub command line, let me pastebin what I think I used [00:10] you can copy sudo with sudo! [00:10] Senjai: can I do that while logged into the same hd that I am booting from? [00:11] fbdystang: your not changing any files, you're copying them [00:11] so yes [00:11] fbdystang: ignore the /proc/ files though === slank is now known as slank_away [00:11] Senjai: OK, that would be a cool ninja trick, how is that done? [00:11] with the cp command [00:11] !cp | fbdystang [00:11] No entry [00:11] :/ [00:12] http://linux.about.com/od/commands/l/blcmdl1_cp.htm [00:12] You would need to use the -R flag. [00:12] Senjai: would gknautilus let me copy the entire hd over if I am logged into it for boot? [00:13] fbdystang: why wouldnt it [00:13] fbdystang: dont copy anything from /proc [00:13] fbdystang: and you should be fine [00:13] So copy everything and delete /proc? [00:13] fbdystang: dont delete proc [00:14] why touch /proc at all [00:14] fbdystang: dont touch it [00:14] fbdystang: proc is where your processes are. [00:14] fbdystang: its a fake filesystem [00:14] fbdystang: ignore it [00:14] fbdystang: Ubuntu populates it and cleans it up as the computer is run [00:15] yikes, let me see if I understand correctly. I login to my computer just like normal NOT live cd. Then I gksudo nautilus and copy my main hd over to my mapped SATA RAID. It should work and give no problems. [00:15] I think I had used a command like this to boot: http://pastebin.com/ZQmayBgr [00:16] not 100% sure [00:16] is there a way to get a list of recently installed packages? [00:16] fbdystang: no offence, but if you need a graphical interface to do everything, Linux/GNU at its current state is probably not for you. [00:16] but I did that and it booted, I gathered from the kernel output that it was in fact loading the iso into memory [00:17] Senjai: hehe, i can do command line, I just do not want to change ALL the permissions back if I live cd [00:17] but when it finally dropped me into the GUI, the disk was in use and unmountable [00:17] fbdystang: cp is the command line [00:17] cp -R [00:17] fbdystang: you're going to want to copy preserving permissions etc. [00:17] exactly, how do I type that in? [00:17] fbdystang: i gave you a link, did you look at it [00:18] let me go back :) [00:18] fbdystang: IM not going to give you EVERY answer, thats not how linux rolls. Ill help you figure out the problem. [00:19] Senjai: :) [00:19] nobody's ever tried to do this before? [00:19] wouldn't be such a damn problem if the iso for 12.10 fit on a cd [00:20] it's that big o.O [00:21] rigid : synaptic has a history function ... file/history [00:21] its like 780MB or something [00:21] jeez [00:21] isn't there an alternate netinstall ? [00:21] should've left libreoffice calc out of it [00:21] !bloat [00:21] Wug, be even better if it fit on 1.44mb floppies [00:21] :P [00:21] :) [00:21] !netinstall [00:21] Ubuntu can be installed in lots of ways.

[00:22] this shouldn't be hard. it really shouldn't be. its 2013 [00:22] I've got the booting part down [00:22] Wug, are you using a mac [00:22] no. [00:22] optical media is dying anyways [00:22] Senjai: OK, cp -R should work, but how do I type a destination that is a mapped raid? [00:23] hey Dr. Willis pleasure to see you again. trying to followup on the media player question from last nite [00:23] any pc that cant boit from usb. due to age.. id guess wont run 12.10 well [00:23] fbdystang: Create a partition and filesystem on it, and mount it. Then copy data on it. [00:23] Senjai: better spoken, where does a mapped raid reside on directory tree? [00:23] im running ubuntu 12.04 [00:23] dr_willis, it has nothign to do with age. the crapbook firmware won't boot from usb [00:23] fbdystang: Your going to have to do some research [00:23] i brought a CD along because I thought it would fit but it doesnt [00:23] dr_willis: That's dependent on about a zillion things though. [00:24] dr_willis, I have a 2011 macbook pro. won't boot from USB [00:24] fbdystang: from the sounds of things you dont understand how linux really works [00:24] my flash drives are all occupied with important things [00:24] fbdystang: check out the linux system administrators guide on tldp.org [00:24] Wug, use the netinstall then [00:24] I had a 2001 Gateway that wouldn't boot from USB and it runs Lubuntu 12.10 like a charm./ [00:24] install ubuntu server then [00:24] yu got a broke mac siunds like [00:24] you can install gui afterwards [00:24] :P [00:24] dr_willis, nope.

Use it instead. [00:25] forget gentoo. try lfs! [00:26] actually i prefer anything based on debian [00:26] forget lfs, use suicide linux! [00:26] then install debian [00:26] heh [00:26] using autoremove and apt-get purge --remove doesnot remove all configuration files and addons. how remove software with all its branches?

[01:10] no [01:10] i live 10.04 [01:10] like* [01:10] PPPT: support ends in 2 months [01:10] oldschool: Do you want to restrict access to a list of users (in which case you can use built in file permissions), or do you want to encrypt (in which case use GPG for files or [something] for full disk encryption) [01:11] yes [01:11] ben64, i know. but i still enjoy it, whilst i can.. [01:11] BillyZane: what service do you want to connect to on the server? SAMVA? CIFS? SSH? VNC? [01:11] BillyZane: or do you just want to list the services available? [01:11] PPPT: then get a wireless card that is supported [01:11] BillyZane: I was able to use VNC. What I want to do is browse my files and watch a movie [01:12] err [01:12] anon-01 [01:12] ben64, funny thing is that wired internet doesnt work at all too [01:12] BillyZane: what server and os are you running on the server machine? [01:12] anon-01: I am able to VNC, but when I click on my file browser, there's usually a network tab. that tab is not there right now [01:12] BillyZane: actually, just what is the os? [01:12] PPPT: then how have you been using it for the past 3 years [01:12] BillyZane: What is the OS on the server? [01:12] the OS is windows 7 [01:12] windows 7 on a server? [01:12] this computer's OS is ubuntu 12.10 [01:12] update: trying suggestions on the wiki and forum don't work at all [01:13] BillyZane: Ah, you are trying to connect over windows file server, yes? [01:13] ben64, on another laptop, that was older than the current one... [01:13] rfkill still lists hard and soft blocks on both [01:13] anon-01 i just want to be able to password protected file or folders in ubuntu [01:13] anon-01: i'm not sure, but i think that sounds about right. I want to browse my files and watch a movie [01:13] PPPT: then... get a new network card too? [01:14] oldschool: for what? private files (dont tell me whats in them.)? comany data? to protect everything? [01:14] no ithink it might be something to do with the drivers. been googling about downloading them and installing them offline.. [01:14] anon-01 do you need to enumerate (list) the share names from ubuntu, or just mount it? [01:14] PPPT: yeah its probably drivers, which is why i said to get a card that is supported [01:15] err, oldschool do you need to enumerate (list) the share names from ubuntu, or just mount it? [01:15] it is standard one... [01:15] anon-01 yeah comany data [01:15] the wireless is atheros, works fine in xbuntu [01:15] oldschool: ah. just you on the machine? [01:15] Just curious, does anyone have a decent tutorial about setting up Lirc Mouse Daemon with LXDE as the environment that they could share with me. I've been trying to find anything with that and I'm coming up short. :( [01:15] PPPT: theres no difference from xubuntu to ubuntu, you must be doing something strange [01:15] nope [01:16] anon-01: I did not have nmap installed, I just installed it. Going over the way to use it [01:16] BillyZane: Try: https://www.linuxquestions.org/questions/linux-networking-3/how-can-i-scan-for-samba-shares-876721/ and http://ubuntuforums.org/showthread.php?t=288534 [01:16] i tried ubuntu 10.04 on my pc too, i cannot get wired internet at all, eventhough eth0 is present. [01:16] BillyZane: nmap is not what you need [01:16] anon-01: thank you [01:16] PPPT: you must be doing something strange then [01:16] ohh [01:16] I found a card which IS supported by Ubuntu by default, plugged it in, and Network Settings refuses to let me turn it on [01:16] BillyZane: you already know what service to connect to: SAMBA [01:17] ben64, i dont really. anyone any idea about getting .deb for atheros wifi and also get some audio too.. [01:17] BillyZane: I gave you a link for enumerating (listing) the share names on your server (win7), and one for mounting the shares. [01:17] oldschool: Is it just you on the machine you want the protected files on? [01:17] anon-01: ok, i'll look in to it. thank you [01:18] BillyZane: You're welcome. Glad to help. [01:18] anon-01 no i want them to be password protectedon on the machine and even if i move them let say to my windows machine i still want them to be password protected [01:18] !info gpg | oldschool [01:19] oldschool: Package gpg does not exist in quantal [01:19] Where does canonical get these ridiculous names from? [01:19] oldschool: For that, use GPG (even if you have to download it yourself), however, it will have to be used on each individual file. [01:20] !info gnupg | oldschool [01:20] oldschool: gnupg (source: gnupg): GNU privacy guard - a free PGP replacement. In component main, is important. Version 1.4.11-3ubuntu4.1 (quantal), package size 772 kB, installed size 1944 kB === ericab_away is now known as ericab [01:20] anon-01: whats the password for root on the live cd? [01:20] fbdystang: use sudo [01:20] hello [01:20] fbdystang: probably not set. instead, use sudo -s instead of su - [01:21] sudo cd ? [01:21] or, if you insist on su, use sudo su - [01:21] to change directory? [01:21] bin_bash : lol ... https://wiki.ubuntu.com/DevelopmentCodeNames [01:21] don't use sudo su [01:21] fbdystang: run sudo -s [01:21] Ben64, why not [01:21] anon-01 ok thanks [01:21] sudo -i if you really need to be root [01:21] fbdystang: you will get root shell [01:21] anon-01, fbdystang sudo -i is a bit better than sudo -s [01:21] bin_bash: because its bad [01:21] ubottu ok thanks [01:21] "because I said so" :p [01:22] "it's bad, mmkay" [01:22] ;) [01:22] escott thanks [01:22] oldschool: What I would do - reinstall with 12.10. Enable full disk encryption. This will secure almost all files on the computer. if you shut off, will need ppass on boot [01:22] escott: what is the difference [01:22] Airplane mode stays on even when I turn it off [01:22] it may or may not give a proper bash enviroment [01:22] ooldschool: your weolcom [01:22] Ben64, why? [01:22] escott: yea what is the difference? [01:22] Ben64, su - is better [01:22] dr_willis: ill try to remember that [01:22] bin_bash: no, its not [01:22] yes it is [01:22] su - will NOT work on ubuntu [01:22] So just wanted to follow up on a question I asked earlier. after the last time my video froze this error message came up in the system log. http://paste.ubuntu.com/1618456/ Any way to create the missing files or is there another solution or problem that needs to be addressed ? [01:23] bin_bash, Ben64, dr_willis you will need sudo su -. that should work [01:23] it's been explained countless times in this channel, use "sudo -i" if you must, don't use sudo su [01:23] su - is better than sudo su, imo [01:23] anon-01, fbdystang sudo -i will run a login shell and replace environment variables, sudo -s will just exec the shell with root privs. if you have something in your $PATH it will stay in your path with sudo -s. thats undesirable generally [01:23] bin_bash, Ben64, dr_willis: i just tested it [01:23] anon-01: and we are baack to 'use sudo -s' like you shoiuld be [01:23] * PoolShark_ grabs the popcorn [01:23] anon-01: and the enviroment settings may or may not be what you intended.... [01:24] bin_bash, Ben64, dr_willis: OK. THanks [01:24] escott: great explanation :) [01:24] anon-01 ok thanks [01:24] Does anybody know how to do a loopback adapter for audio? [01:25] anon-01: Define "loopback adapter" [01:25] I just log in as root if I need to be root [01:25] PoolShark_: that isn't recommended either [01:25] anon-01, fbdystang ill note that this is different on fedora systems... theirs are setup for a su usage and it seems that on fedora sudo su - is better than sudo -i for those systems [01:25] PoolShark_: direct logging in as root - is also disabled in ubuntu [01:25] sudo passwd -u root [01:25] dr_willis, you can enable it if you want though [01:25] xyl: please don't suggest that [01:26] bin_bash: and thats explicity NOT reccomended or supported by Ubuntu or this channel [01:26] of course it's not recommended [01:26] xyl, those who know how to do that don't need to ask. those who don't know would end up shooting themselves in the foot if they did. thats why we dont tell people [01:26] dr_willis why is that? Because the users are stupid? [01:26] adamk: I set source program to output to $loopback_adapter (like its a speaker). That output is then sent to Audacity, which uses $loopback_adapter like a mic to recieve the information that was sent from the source program. [01:26] why?if you want to login with root [01:26] the proper method is to use sudo as needed [01:27] i don't understand what is so hard about sudo, why do so many people want to be root all the time [01:27] anon-01: configure pulseaudio to load module-null-sink (I think it's in /etc/pulse/default/pa, just commented out by default). [01:27] there is no single reason to login as root directly instead of using sudo [01:27] yep [01:27] If you're the only one using a system, and someone gets access to your acount via your password, Ben64, then they automatically have root access. [01:27] admk: thanks, ill try [01:27] proper practice and habbits help insure a stable ssytem [01:27] anon-01: Restart PA, then use pavucontrol to direct the output to the null device, and configure audacity to record from the monitor of that null audio device. [01:28] adamk: pavucontrol? [01:28] ensure [01:28] State Farm insures my system. I ensure the stability of it. [01:28] anon-01: Nice utility to selecting audio devices and volume levels in PA. [01:28] bin_bash: if you are the only one on a system and using a root-shell directly, normally you will ask here "how to fix my system because i killed something because i am root" or "why am i hacked because i execute everything as root" [01:28] iceroot, only if you're a retard [01:28] in which case [01:28] adamk: how do I load a module? [01:28] bin_bash: not using root directly is a protection for the normal user [01:28] you deserved whatever you did [01:29] bin_bash: hear hear [01:29] anon-01: Just uncomment the line in /etc/pulse/default.pa that mentions module-null-sink and restart pulseaudio. [01:29] bin_bash: you are free to do with your system what you want but we dont support/suggest a root-shell [01:29] Look, if you don't learn the proper way to use root, then you shouldn't use linux at all. depending on sudo entirely is like using crutches === grep is now known as Guest37698 [01:29] everyone should drop the attitude. if you don't like how ubuntu uses root, then don't use it, and don't suggest it here [01:29] admk: ocka, thanks [01:29] Ben64: +1 [01:31] sudo is another bit of protection to the security layers in place. [01:31] bin_bash : have a look at ... https://help.ubuntu.com/community/RootSudo [01:32] Tex_Nick, sudo apt-get purge sudo [01:32] bin_bash: stop [01:32] bin_bash: you have a support question? or just stupid trolling? [01:32] iceroot, I've been helping people, fyi [01:33] bin_bash: i just see trolling but ok [01:33] not in recent memory [01:34] !danger [01:34] DO NOT RUN THAT COMMAND!

[01:40] Ah, ok [01:40] i do have a srs question though [01:40] Ben64: is 13.04 the dev version? [01:40] has anyone had any success getting audio out via the thunderbolt port on macbooks? [01:41] ubuntu versions are year.month, so 13.04 = 2013.04 = April 2013, which is in the future [01:41] Ben64: ah. [01:42] hi [01:42] hi [01:42] i need help [01:42] anon-01, and 13.04 will come out probably towards the end of the month. so dont go looking on april 1st [01:42] alanoris: hi [01:42] !ask | alanoris [01:42] alanoris: 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).

[01:45] alanoris: then leave [01:45] alanoris: An OS. Like WIndows XP, except with less viruses. [01:45] i like windows 7 it is best [01:45] I mean, instead of putting the name of application, I want to put a formula, i.e 3*3 [01:45] alanoris: This is an _ubuntu_ discussion channel.

[01:46] Gimme a second and I'll have it [01:46] lundy, I don't think you can [01:46] escott: sudo -i, then cp -RP is copying and leaving "root" as the owner. Thus not preserving attributes. What am I doing wrong? [01:46] lundy: I think that requires a special program. I don't think it's possible under normal circumstances [01:47] KK google time [01:47] lundy: but I'm sure there are programs to allow you to, I just don't know any off the top of my head [01:47] Cpu(s): 4.8%us, 4.8%sy, 0.0%ni, 0.0%id, 90.5%wa, 0.0%hi, 0.0%si, 0.0%st [01:47] Mem: 244284k total, 241176k used, 3108k free, 260k buffers [01:47] fbdystang, cp -aR [01:47] Hoyt: unity-scope-calculator, you'll need to find a ppa for it or compile/install yourself [01:47] must be that 90% [01:47] escott: what does the -a do? [01:47] fbdystang, -P is not -p. the -P has to do with symlinks. -a is better anyways [01:47] it fluctuates between 90 and 98 [01:47] what is wa [01:47] fbdystang: from the cp manual, -a, --archive same as -dR --preserve=all [01:48] fbdystang, and -p same as --preserve=mode,ownership,timestamps [01:48] got it, thanks guys :) [01:48] * anon-01 intends to leave the chanel. [01:49] datsmoida, so the answer is you have 3 megabytes ram left over and very little free cpu time. You need a faster cpu and more ram. Or a co-processed ethernet card for your vpn [01:49] isn't R in the -aR redundant? [01:49] appears to be [01:49] fbdystang, -R is recursive (ie subdirs too) [01:49] i is a newb 2 ubunt2 [01:49] silvereye - can't i just upgrade to more ram and /or cpu [01:49] fbdystang, and in this case -R is the same as -r [01:49] or am i blowing it up [01:49] my program eventually started, like 5 minutes later [01:50] this is just in command line [01:50] datsmoida, wa is io-wait time. ie waiting for a packet from a remote server or a file read [01:50] datsmoida: if i'm reading that correctly, most of your cpu is going to iowait [01:50] datsmoida, aka idle [01:50] -a == -dpR so the R is redundant in -aR [01:50] fbdystang, yes. didn't notice that before but yes [01:50] datsmoida, no, you need both. 256mb system ram isn't enough to run a vpn, and what kind of cpu do you have? [01:51] fbdystang, another one to throw on is -x for one-file-system [01:51] Ubunt00: if you have a support question, please ask :) [01:52] i am planning to upgrade it [01:52] escott: yea I am just reading about the -x, wouldn't work for me since I am jumping filesystems [01:52] i don't know, one half core i think, whatever that is [01:53] alright off for the nite. thanks for the assistance [01:53] Is it against the ubuntu way to boot to runlevel 3?

You can access the grub menu by pressing Esc (Grub legacy) or Shift (Grub2) during boot. For more info see https://help.ubuntu.com/community/BootOptions#Text%20Mode [01:53] datsmoida, there are some ethernet cards that are coprocessed and can do the vpn calculations for the system [01:53] PoolShark_, idk. seems a lot of things are.

Also keep in mind that Ubuntu now uses !Upstart instead of System V init so there is normally no /etc/inittab.

[02:06] Dni, ctrl-alt-f1, then login, and sudo service lightdm stop [02:06] thats all [02:06] !runlevels | bin_bash, Dni, gelph [02:06] bin_bash, Dni, gelph: In Ubuntu all runlevels except 0,1 and 6 are by default equal. Also keep in mind that Ubuntu now uses !Upstart instead of System V init so there is normally no /etc/inittab. [02:06] to get gui back, sudo service lightdm start [02:06] welp that's offensive [02:06] <> [02:07] what do you mean by runlevels? [02:08] !ping | phunyguy [02:08] phunyguy: pong! [02:08] could you please explain a little more [02:08] fox_wilson, my appologies you are correct I found and inserted my live drive it is fat32 it has been a while since I last used it [02:08] Dni: what are the specs of your computer [02:08] Dni runlevels used to be these incrementing levels of how many things are running, and going back a level or two you'd stop just the display manager, but no longer true [02:09] dustin: Don't worry about it. I'm still curious as to whether or not it would work... the boot process is so confusing sometimes :) [02:09] Ben64: I have Dell Studio 1555 laptop and the fan is always working, I do afraid it will burn soon [02:09] errmm... [02:09] fox_wilson, my main drives are all ext4 so I would have to say that it "should" work [02:09] Dni? [02:10] Dni there's a big deal about controlling cpu intensity and throttling it back when not needed, maybe you don't have that going [02:10] phunyguy: would you please explain a little more. [02:10] Dni: check to see if cpu scaling is working (if the cpu clocks itself down when idle to save power and temperature) [02:10] explain what? They said runlevels didnt work [02:10] Ben64: how can I check that? [02:10] phunyguy: i think he means about lightdm service [02:11] Ben64: Actually when no program is running the fan is also working with lots of noise. before I did not have such experience. [02:11] Dni: "cat /proc/cpuinfo | grep -i mhz" will show the current cpu speed [02:11] Dni, pay attention to Ben64. He is dependable. [02:11] like mine says 800mhz now [02:11] sounds like you have deeper seeded issues. [02:12] but it will go up to 2700mhz when called for it [02:12] Ben64: both are 2800.000 [02:12] what cpu? [02:12] yeah Dni, throttling isn't working for you [02:12] phunyguy: Thanks [02:12] hrmmm... that returns 6 measurements... which one is correct? [02:12] all 6? [02:12] PoolShark_: that means you have 6 cores [02:12] Ben64: It is intel [02:12] Dni: you might have to enable it in the bios [02:12] hexa-coer [02:13] Ben64: What should I enable? [02:13] what timebase is used as a reference to make that measurement? [02:13] i don't know, every bios isn't the same [02:13] Ben64: I mean the category which I should take a look [02:13] Dni: yeah, still not sure where it'd be on a dell [02:13] power saveing. preformance mode, throtteling [02:13] The cpufreqd and indicator-cpufreq packages come up in my searching [02:14] cpufreqd - fully configurable daemon for dynamic frequency and voltage scaling [02:14] has anyone here used cpu scaling with an OC processor? wondering if it just shows the upped scale or if the throttling is turned off? [02:14] gelph: Should I install these packages? [02:15] no experience with them, but they are the starting point [02:15] Ben64: Any help is highly appreciated, as I have chosen linux recently [02:15] Try this command: apt-cache show cpufreqd [02:15] It shows you the basic info about that package [02:16] It shows you the home page, and hardware requirements [02:16] in my bios's ive seen differnt power plans. such as 'power saveing, desktop, gameing' where theý differ in how much they let the cpu throttle down [02:17] gelph: I ran that, and it generated many output [02:17] dr_willis: I have not such thing [02:23] Hi everybody, I'm looking for some help with keepassx. I want it to open up a new firefox-trunk tab if Firefox is already running, and if not, I want it to start up the browser when I select "Open URL" in the context menu [02:24] rsingh here are some great command-line arguments to configure keepassx with: http://kb.mozillazine.org/Command_line_arguments [02:24] anyone got the amd catalyst 13.2 beta 3 drivers working? I tried installing it on 13.04 but it can't seem to find "version.h" [02:25] Coded1 I think you need linux-headers package (half-way guessing) [02:25] Coded1, "sudo apt-get install linux-headers-`uname -r`" [02:25] without quotes [02:25] minix [02:26] Coded1, anything after that you can probably get a better answer in #ubuntu+1 [02:26] hey has anyone managet to get ubuntuone on backtrack? [02:26] managed* === rsingh is now known as remanifest [02:27] Brewster: we can't support backtrack here [02:27] ya I installed the headers, I'll give +1 a shot [02:27] !backtrack [02:27] There are some Ubuntu derivatives that we cannot provide support for due to repository and software changes. Please consult their websites for more information. Examples: gNewSense (support in #gnewsense), Linux Mint (see !mint), LinuxMCE (support in #linuxmce), CrunchBang (support in #crunchbang), BackTrack (support in #backtrack-linux) [02:27] ;c [02:27] there isn't anyone in #backtrack-linux [02:28] Brewster, not our problem. [02:28] just thought that would be worth pointing out [02:28] (sorry, I know that was rough) [02:28] lol [02:28] it's fine [02:28] you should support backtrack if you support lubuntu or xubuntu or any f the others [02:28] well we should be understanding here.. [02:28] backtrack isnt a supported distro. [02:29] is there like a git repo that I can compile ubuntuone from source? [02:29] Brewster, sorry, cannot discuss any further. [02:29] *gasp* [02:29] ubuntuone is part of ubuntu [02:29] yes, and installs on ubuntu without a compile. [02:29] backtrack isnt [02:30] [20:29:11] is there like a git repo that I can compile ubuntuone from source? <- I don't see backtrack in that question [02:30] Brewster : keep asking in #backtrack-linux ... there are some great guru's that pop in & out of there ờᴗớ === ericab is now known as ericab_away [02:30] haha hillarious === ericab_away is now known as ericab [02:30] there's nobody in there [02:30] !ot | Brewster [02:30] Brewster: #ubuntu is the Ubuntu support channel, for all Ubuntu-related support questions.

However, please note that this channel is for discussion of Ubuntu, and questions regarding Freenode itself should be directed towards #freenode. [02:40] hello everybody [02:40] I wonder who here knows a bit more about the minix filesystem. Anyone have a link? suggestions? [02:40] LennaLinux, thats not on topic here [02:40] LennaLinux: perhaps try ##linux? [02:41] what package is Ubuntu family fonts in? [02:41] I installed a minimal ubuntu server, and those fonts don't seem to be installed [02:41] RustyShackleford: Looks like ttf-ubuntu-font-family [02:41] hey all, wireless is not working on my dell inspiron 1501, which is a laptop [02:41] RustyShackleford: see http://packages.ubuntu.com/lucid-updates/fonts/ttf-ubuntu-font-family [02:42] !wifi | demarco have a read [02:42] demarco have a read: Wireless documentation, including how-to guides and troubleshooting information, can be found at https://help.ubuntu.com/community/WifiDocs [02:42] demarco: you will probably need to go find your own wifi drivers [02:42] Wow that bot is useful :) [02:42] bazhang , I know that, I just want help, not that I will develop the subject in this channel [02:42] LennaLinux: minix has a channel on freenode #minix ... few ppl there though [02:43] demarco, did you try going to "Additional Drivers" under "System" in the menu?

I have some fortran code that I wrote that does a hybrid moment-method/physical-optics numerical evaluation of scattering analysis, and when I compile it on the ubuntu box I get an interior resonance condition that I don't get on Redhat or Solaris. What's even weirder is that I can get it to work reasonably well on Ubuntu if I limit myself to using only a Gauss-Legendre approach to evaluating the complex integra [02:45] Hm. You've tried it with the same parameters on both Redhat and Solaris? [02:45] PoolShark_ if you put your hand over the fan on your computer, does the interior resonance condition get louder or quieter? [02:45] RustyShackleford, it's me! Spenny1515 [02:45] LennaLinux: sorry bout the google link ... kinda long :( [02:46] PoolShark_: that wasn't serious was it :D [02:46] bin_bash: Yes, the same parameters... in fact I just tried it with a simple object - a spherical orb... [02:46] Hi, I have just installed linux mint on my laptop and when even no program is running, my fan is working very hard and I afraid it will burn. Does anybody know what should I do?

[02:48] nobody has any ideas? [02:48] PoolShark_, that's weird. I don't really know. [02:48] PoolShark_: You checked the compressor dvisions and mainframe node singularities though? [02:48] PoolShark_, thats no an ubuntu support issue [02:49] PoolShark_: (that was humorous I assume) [02:49] But offtopic :) [02:49] PoolShark_, Are you using a straight TE or TM approach or are you using CFIEs? [02:49] LennaLinux: np hope you find some good stuff :-) [02:50] bin_bash: it's a CFIE, so I would not expect to see the inherent interior resonance problem that comes from the straight TE approach... but in any case, what is perpexing is why this would happen on ubuntu and not solaris or redhat [02:51] PoolShark_: bin_bash I don't know what you two are talking about but you need to take it elsewhere please. [02:51] PoolShark_, that sure is odd. perhaps a kernel issue? [02:51] bin_bash, thats enough. [02:51] jeez sorry [02:51] bin_bash: I'm thinking maybe something wrong with whatever libraries are included with ubuntu [02:51] i was just trying to help [02:51] PoolShark_, take it elsewhere [02:51] bazhang: it's an #ubuntu question [02:52] Is there any way to change a filesystem back from ext2 to ext3? I think fsck changed it from ext2 to ext3 [02:52] PoolShark_, no its not. lets move on [02:52] giggazilla: you can mount ext3 as ext2 [02:52] bazhang: I don't see how a question about #ubuntu libraries is not about #ubuntu [02:53] prassel, have we met?

[02:55] * gelph shakes head [02:55] If you don't know the answer, just say you don't know, but it's not fair to tell me that my ubuntu question is off topic just because nobody knows the answer.... admittedly this is a tough problem to solve, but nevertheless it is something that is unique to ubuntu, so naturally I think it's fair game here [02:55] I'm in a good mood folks, don't make me start banning the lot of you. Stick to Ubuntu support, chit chat in #ubuntu-offtopic. [02:56] no problem... [02:57] Sorry was just trying to help PoolShark_ =/ [02:57] I need some help determining what I think might be an issue underlying the developer libraries included with ubuntu 12.04 and the available fortran compiler, because I get different results on ubuntu and its included compilers and libraries than I do in every other distro I have used [02:58] hi. Is there a graphical tool for LVM? [02:58] you checked to make sure the compiler is the same version? [02:58] I need help and can't find any in the #ubuntu-beginners channel...

[03:00] gelph: that'd be nice but I'm using fort77 :) [03:00] perhaps system-config-lvm should be installed by default when user has installed LVM partitions. An idea? [03:00] I guess I could try 95 [03:00] My card is: NVIDIA Corporation CK804 AC'97 Audio Controller (rev a2) [03:00] PoolShark_ same thing though, find a test suite for it, run it, see if there are bugs [03:01] Jeremy3D: is supported by ad banners ... i would suspect that you need to play it from browser ... if not would be interesting :-) [03:01] tru Tex_Nick i just love my stations but love seeing the band thru ubuntu [03:04] Jeremy3D: hmmm just found a link on how to play Pandora with VLC ... might be of use to you ... http://www.techyv.com/questions/how-use-vlc-listen-pandora [03:05] Hello, I need some help about the instalation of Ubuntu [03:05] !details | Piotic [03:05] Piotic: Please give us full details.

Is this the right place for a tiny support question? [03:06] RobBurkeOne: for ubuntu, yes [03:06] RobBurkeOne, for Ubuntu, yes [03:06] Jeremy3D Pithos works for me [03:06] big minds think alike [03:07] Well, Im having a problem while is downloading some stuff, it seems to be a problem with NVIDIA drivers or something, in mid of the instalation the screen turns out black and I tried to wait for see something and nothing apears [03:07] jim29, what version rhythmbox, ubuntu you runnin? [03:07] Okay. I am using 12.10 and just tried out the Kubuntu-destop. But after logging in back in unity, my Firefox and Thunderbird still show the KDE theme and color. How do I change this? [03:07] Tex_Nick, that'd work but i can just play in browser as originally described [03:07] Piotic hit the [Ctrl] key only, maybe screensaver went on [03:07] Ubuntu 12.04 w/ pithos....brings in Pandora [03:08] same with libreoffice, btw [03:08] jim29, i see now. does it display the artist on each desktop (what does that...unity?)? [03:09] I dont know, I tried to search and found something about some NVIDIA drivers, and it maybe could be that, I have NVIDIA Gforce 6200 [03:09] RobBurkeOne the dirty little secret of different desktops is that in your home directory are all the settings that desktop manager used, and to "wipe the slate clean" I've had to fiddle with renaming the .config and other "dot" dirs [03:09] actually, almost all gtk apps now show in oxygen style [03:09] yes. on unity [03:09] anybody know how to fix a .ICEauthority file [03:10] or know why it cant update [03:10] gelph: So you say that every time I use KDE I have to manually fix it back? [03:11] What should I do [03:11] RobBurkeOne are you going to be switching back and forth all the time? [03:11] Each time I "make a clean break" with one, I move the settings out of the way because they sometimes overlap in odd ways or conflict [03:11] maybe. I wanted to give KDE a try. But I don't want to f*ck up my whole settings [03:12] jim so far so good. now can i put pithos into my little speaker icon in the top right, where rhythmbox resides? [03:12] RobBurkeOne: not app settings, just desktop manager settings, someone can help me here on all the "dot" dirs like .config [03:13] i just use a desktop icon [03:13] jim29 : hey thanks for the pithos info & Jeremy3D thanks for posting question :-) [03:13] gelph: Do you have any idea what to change exaclty? [03:14] Tex_Nick...np :) [03:14] Hmmmm the superblock appears to be bad on the array [03:14] Tex_Nick, yea this is great. thanks jim29 [03:14] eeeks! I'm running ubuntu server in VMWare right now, and using cygwin X server to run xchat, don't even have one at the moment [03:14] I recreated the partition using testdisk [03:14] I just read something on mounting it using an alternate superblock, but it complains [03:14] yeh....love my Pandora and Ubuntu!! [03:16] Trying to mount using -t ext3 and no journal found [03:16] goodbye! [03:17] jim29, Tex_Nick : http://ubuntuguide.net/remove-rhythmbox-controls-from-ubuntu-12-04-sound-menu [03:21] hi ppl [03:21] I [03:22] Im installing ubuntu right now, but, if it happens again then I should press ctrl? [03:22] Piotic, umm, if WHAT happens again? Restate the issue [03:23] Piotic, chat scrolls too fast [03:23] When Im installing ubuntu, at mid of the installation the screen goes black and I tried to wait if see if something happens, but there was nothing [03:24] ...Screensaver? [03:24] I searched and it seems to be something with NVIDIA drivers of my card [03:24] Well, I dont really now [03:24] Piotic, what is your skill level, and do you have another PC handy? [03:24] Well, not right now [03:25] I just now how to boot from a usb, that's all [03:25] because I have installed SSH while on the livecd, started the service, and changed the ubuntu password to get loggde in remotely with the -X flag, and launched the GUI install from that... [03:25] Know* [03:25] because I had a similar issue in the past [03:25] but it's not for the faint of heart [03:25] I'm having a problem with xserver, it appears to crash as soon as I login. [03:26] See http://darksleep.com/puff/xorg/xserver [03:26] I get to the GUI login screen, I try to login, I get bounced back to the GUI login screen. In /var/log/Xorg.0.log.old it just says "Server terminated successfully (0). Closing log file." [03:27] try as the guest user yet puff? [03:27] puff, that is an issue with your user profile [03:28] I am not sure which folders to rename to get a profile going again, cant remember offhand [03:28] .config is one of them I am sure [03:28] dr_willis: Yeah, logging in as guest usre works fine. [03:28] puff, you are on vanilla ubuntu, the text file said? [03:28] dr_willis: I've been limping along as guest user for a few weeks, finally got upthe energy to try again :-) [03:28] Yes. [03:29] how does one configure system fonts in the latest Ubuntu? [03:29] :) [03:29] I had installed ubuntu 12.4, installed xfce, but this happens whether I select ubuntu, xubuntu etc, at the login screen. [03:30] puff, http://ubuntuforums.org/showthread.php?t=2080752 [03:30] i chmod the .iceauthority file in fluxbox but i still cant login to ubuntu 2d [03:30] it cant be that easy, but if so, have at it! [03:30] system settings can configure wacom tablets but not system fonts? [03:30] phunyguy: Gee, that'd be useufl if I could get X working so I could run firefox :-). [03:30] guest account.. ;) [03:30] and X is fine [03:30] we established that [03:30] puff does a newly made user work? [03:31] dr_willis: Yes. [03:31] so you clean out your problem user settings.... [03:31] those are the issue [03:31] puff, rename /home/user to /home/user.bak [03:32] mkdir /home/user [03:32] chmod -R user:user /home/user [03:32] usually on /etc/skel/ [03:32] then login again via lightdm [03:32] (GUI) [03:32] nearst, it will copy /etc/skel [03:32] you could jyst login at console and rename the .config. dir..... as a test [03:33] yeah, dr_willis, this was a catch all. [03:33] i'm sure there are more dirs though [03:33] puff those commands require sudo as well, sorry [03:33] normally its .config. or. .Xauthority [03:34] puff, try what the doctor suggested first, and use mine as a second attempt [03:34] login at console as the user. mkdir backups [03:34] phunyguy: I have sudo, no worries. [03:34] mv .config backups/config [03:34] Weird, I logged in via GUI with the spare account and now the pointer isn't working. [03:35] o.O [03:35] that is weird. [03:35] Killed the spare account's youngest shell. [03:36] okay, so... Ithink it was just taking forever to finish setting up the X session. [03:36] Because it'doing it again with a different spare account. [03:37] hehehe [03:37] the spare account is a good idea also, because you can just use the new account, copy stuff you need from the old and make it yours, and to preserve permissions on remotely stored stuff, you can change your uid and gid to 1000 again [03:37] God I hate unity. [03:38] Where *is* everything. Okay, shouldI bother checking that URL phunyguy pasted? [03:38] puff it is up to you on how to proceed [03:38] if you are savvy enough, you can make any route work [03:39] Well sureit is... you guys can't reach the keys :-). [03:39] that last option I mentioned is basically make a new user, copy what you need to it, then delete the old user, and change the new user to 1000:1000 [03:39] Yeah. [03:39] sudo dpkg-reconfigure -phigh xserver-xorg [03:39] oooh another option> [03:39] ? [03:39] Is it possible to use only the intel graphics chip on laptops with AMD switchable graphics using the open source drivers in 12.10?

[03:40] hi there I have an HP pavilion g6 model 2244ca, it's came preinstalled with windows 8, i cannot get the Ubuntu live cd to boot, [03:40] phunyguy, yes [03:40] disable it in the bios if so [03:41] phunyguy, I didn't see an option to do that [03:41] !uefi | HPChris [03:41] HPChris: UEFI is a specification that defines a software interface between an operating system and platform firmware, it is meant as a replacement for the BIOS. For information on how to set up and install Ubuntu and its derivatives on UEFI machines please read https://help.ubuntu.com/community/UEFI [03:41] tgm4883, I am afraid that is all I have. [03:41] I havent run into that situation uet [03:41] yet* [03:42] nearst, that page appears to not apply [03:42] phunyguy, yea, it's similar to the new nvidia cards [03:42] so I have ndiswrapper installed but not its kernel module [03:42] what's the best way to rectify this? [03:42] dr_willis, phunyguy: Okay, so moved .config to ~/backups/dot.config and then tried to login as my main user account, same result. [03:43] I can do it with the proprietary drivers, but can't find a way to do it with open source [03:43] puff try your other .* files. move tgem all uf you want [03:44] I'm having a problem, and I think it might be rooted in Ubuntu... I set my computer up as a DMZ temporarily to test something, and the ports aren't open still. I disabled ufw, so if my router is not blocking me, and ufw is not blocking me, what else is there? Anything ubuntu specific? [03:44] dont move. .gvfs. [03:44] senoraraton, is something actually listening? [03:44] There are 114 .files :-) [03:44] tgm4883, http://wiki.cchtml.com/index.php/Ubuntu_Quantal_Installation_Guide, look for ati/intel hybrid [03:45] tgm4883 I'm connecting via telnet to localhost, and I ran an online NMAP that states the ports are closed, and the telnet acts as if they are. [03:45] I gox like 500 [03:45] senoraraton, what exactly are you trying to do? [03:47] dr_willis: well, that worked. [03:47] tgm4883 I'm using tinyfugue(mud client) to connect to a remote server, and then I'm setting up several dummy connections to localhost as psuedo "worlds" with which to disemminate data from the primary client into the secondary windows. I'm using tmux as a multiplexer. [03:47] dr_willis: But now all my configs are gone... [03:47] senoraraton, heh, sorry I asked. [03:48] Is there any ssh application for ubuntu thats more advanced than terminal? Or are there any keyboard shortcuts for terminal to copy and paste? I find putty on windows easier to use with being able to highlight text and immediately paste it. Anything like this possible on buntu? [03:48] senoraraton, but if you've disabled UFW and your router is forwarding the correct ports, and something is listening on that port, then it should all work [03:48] dr_willis: I guess now I carefully migrate .files back into my home directory, rebooting every now and then to see if I've broken x. [03:48] Any suggestions on managing ssh keys / authentication management for large scale system ( more than 100+) servers ? Is ldap a natural choice ? [03:48] chrisc_: eh, I just use screen everywhere. ctrl+[ to enter copy mode, arrow around, space to start selection, space again to end it (and copy), ctrl+] to paste [03:49] chrisc_, you can highlight text in the terminal and immediately paste it [03:49] chrisc_> Is there any ssh application for ubuntu thats more advanced than terminal? Or are there any keyboard [03:49] example ^ [03:49] dr_willis: Or I guess I could just doa search algo... move first half of .files back, log out and log back in to test X. rinse and repeat with remaining files. [03:49] mouse is slow. [03:49] how do I set my USB headphones as the default in 11.10? [03:49] advance ssh is base on /etc/ssh/sshd_config :) [03:49] you can use ssh to forward a GUI tonsofpcs [03:49] puff: takes me like 3 min to get unity back how I want.. [03:50] for example a file manager or web browser if that's what you're looking for [03:51] puff: I know what most of the settings files are for. :-D [03:51] dr_willis: There are 112... yeesh. [03:51] >.< So it SHOULD work.. Why doesn't it.... [03:51] woopie doo... [03:52] tgm3883: doesn't work for me on xubuntu 12.04 [03:52] .compiz is a common breaker :-D [03:53] how do i reinstall nautilus [03:53] ! info nautilus [03:53] chrisc_, have you tried middle mouse button click after highlighting? [03:54] dsad [03:56] is there a simple way to remap XF86LaunchA to generate shift+insert? I'm on a macbook, and there is no insert key. I would use this to paste in xterm. (I'm open to better ideas) [03:59] insert key pastes? never seen that [03:59] shift+insert [03:59] not insert [03:59] .. [04:00] anyone know if this is the room for help with boot time encryption with dm-crypt? [04:00] I tend to select then middle click. [04:00] middle click doesn't paste from the same buffer [04:00] I like to use both [04:03] Sometimes calling tech support is fun.... Sometimes. === ward is now known as Guest63398 [04:05] senoraraton: ? [04:05] Hi... Can anybody tell me how to install realplayer in ubuntu 12.10? Please [04:05] I am looking for some help with getting 802.1n working on my laptop. I am currently running 12.1 [04:06] Guest63398: iwconfig [04:06] I'm having problems with blocked ports. I disabled UFW and DMZed my computer in my router, and its still not working, so I am talking to the idiots at tech support for my isp JUST in case they have the ports I'm trying to use blocked for some stupid reason. [04:06] why do you need realplayer? [04:06] mhs, realplayer? [04:07] in partner repo there is a x86 realplayer [04:07] brb [04:07] dr_willis: So, it looks like the problem file was one of: .Xauthority, .Xauthority-c, .Xauthority-l, .xine, .xsession-errors [04:07] usr13.......I only see the current 2.47 freq....not the 5 ghz network [04:07] I mentioned .xauthority at the start.. :-D [04:07] Guest63398: And you have dual band WiFi NIC? [04:08] Yes....this works with windows 7 on this laptop [04:08] no idea why you have several puff [04:08] senoraraton: Did you check to see if the services were accessable to the LAN? [04:09] senoraraton: Before uninsaling UFW and DMZing your PC...? [04:09] usr13......lspci shows the wireless controller as Centrino Wireless -N 2200 BGN [04:09] the .Xauthority file getting owned by root for some reason.. seems to be a fairly common problem - keeping users from logging into Xproperly. [04:09] bin_bash, realplayer a kind of audio/video player [04:09] dr_willis: There were also several files that were automacially recreated, .config, .cache, .dbus, .emacs.d, .gconf, .gnome2, .gstreamer-0.10, .gvfs, .local. [04:09] mhs, yeah for windows [04:09] dr_willis: Think I can/should move those back intomy home directory? [04:10] Guest63398: iwlist wlan0 scan #What does it see? [04:10] mhs: ive not needed to use reaplayer on linux in years... [04:10] mhs: what are you watching that needs it? [04:10] for the record, xmodmap -e "keycode 128 = Insert" works fine to remap [04:10] mhs : i think VLC will play most real Media (rm) files ? [04:10] usr13 I'm to connect to localhost through telnet, but I was under the assumption that it was routed through the router? At any rate it won't connect. [04:10] mhs, there's dozens of better alternatives. [04:10] puff if you want ; it shouldent hurt - you know the drill now to clean things out [04:10] dr_willis: Good point. [04:11] dr_willis, For online streaming... [04:11] mhs: what site? [04:11] * dr_willis cant think of any sites that requlre real player these days [04:11] senoraraton: Yep, it's a safe bet that it is routed through the router. I think port-forwarding is what you need. [04:11] what is rea[BUFFERING] [04:11] you can stream through vlc iirc if it's video and almost any player if it's audio [04:12] usr13 I did that, and it didn't work... So I just DMZed myself on my router, sledgehammer approach, and that didnt' work either. [04:12] mhs: yes i know what real player is.. and all about the company... [04:12] I am only seeing my 2.4 ghz network.......is there a chance that the ubuntu kernel doesn't have the drivers compiled in? [04:12] mhs: but what site are you trying ot watch that needs realplayer? Just the realplayer site? [04:12] bin_bash, What are the other alternatives,? [04:12] Guest63398, can you change your nick so it's easier tohighlight you? [04:12] senoraraton: There are online port scanners you can use. [04:12] mhs, for video or audio? [04:14] usr13 Been there done that, ran NMAP on a range and they are blocked. [04:14] i dont think realplayers native linux client has been updated in years.. [04:14] You don't need RP... [04:14] mhs, mocp, vlc, mpd [04:14] You just need RP codecs. [04:15] One the tech support note, they lied to me, and I liked them a page on their website showing them they lied to me, and now they are trying to pass me off onto "superior" suport... [04:15] senoraraton: So, why are they blocked? [04:15] usr13 Thats what we are trying to fiqure out.:P [04:15] mhs : vlc plays most types of multimedia ... give it a shot :-) [04:16] mpd and mocp are better [04:16] my Chromium (chrome://plugins/) says it can play Realplayer9 media using Gecko Media Player 1.0.6 [04:16] senoraraton: So what did nmap discover? (pastebinit) [04:16] mhs, have you installed ubuntu-restricted-extras? [04:16] lksdjf [04:17] usr13: http://paste.ubuntu.com/1618698/ [04:17] I'm having an issue where my system will become unresponsive (all I can do is hold down the power button to shut it down) when the display sleeps [04:17] happens after logging stops, so I have no clue how I should go about diagnosing this [04:17] cfhowlett, I am new to ubuntu. Will you please tell me how to install ubuntu-restricted-extras? [04:17] cfhowlett: does that include realplayer ? [04:18] how do you find out if your laptop has a 64 bit proccesser on ubuntu ????? [04:18] o.o [04:18] senoraraton: So, what do you have listening on those ports? [04:18] quick Q: very stupid one, but how do i browse the root folder as sudo? all i need to do is copy/paste a file [04:18] mhs Tex_Nick almost certain that RP is included but as I haven't actually seen a RP site in .... years >>> anyway, you'd want to login to the admin account and run sudo apt-get install ubuntu-restricted-extras or install via Ubuntu Software Center [04:19] Evansch0, open terminal: lscpu [04:19] the file is within my home folder (if that makes a difference) [04:19] OerHeks: ok i will see if that works [04:19] usr13 Nothing, I'm trying to telnet into one of them. I'm trying to telnet localhost 5000 [04:20] senoraraton: (When nmap reports "closed", that usually means there is no service listening on that port.) [04:20] cfhowlett, thank you [04:20] * tgm4883 smacks head [04:20] mhs, have fun, be safe ... [04:20] Maybe I'm really stupid.... Maybe... [04:20] cfhowlett, sure.

That's all. [04:21] how do i find out what that means? [04:21] Tex_Nick, NP amigo [04:21] senoraraton: If a port is blocked, nmap will report "filtered". [04:21] cfhowlett, How configure micromax 3g data dongle in ubuntu 12.10? [04:21] senoraraton, how? I was under the impression that there wasn't a difference between a firewall blocking a port and something not listening on a port [04:21] mhs, sorry, over my head. IDK but ask in channel [04:22] although I suppose with a firewall you could reject or drop packets [04:22] senoraraton: but you should first scan the actual LAN IP. [04:22] anyone?

[04:41] bin_bash: should be default, i havent changed anything [04:42] chadster1975, then try google [04:42] :) [04:42] i want to increase the space of my disc C [04:42] mrsudoer, are you installing ONLY kde or the kubuntu-desktop === ke5pcv is now known as ke5pcv-away [04:42] chadster1975, I don't think there is a default keybinding to bring up the display driver settings [04:42] bbiab [04:42] cfhowlett, I'm only installing gnome-core [04:42] ^^^wanting to (haven't yet) [04:42] chadster1975, generally gparted will do what you want, but always backup data first [04:42] mrsudoer, you don't like run one DE on top of another. what you have to do is change your xinitrc settings to only run one of them [04:43] sorry that was meant for vnc786 [04:43] vnc786, , generally gparted will do what you want, but always backup data first [04:43] because it does not have available space [04:43] mrsudoer, I'm going to have to punt this one back into channel. you SHOULD be able to install / purge any of the desktop environments without risking your system, but ... [04:44] mrsudoer, don't PM people without their permission. it's rude. [04:44] arielsanflo, how big is your HDD? [04:44] bin_bash, you must be mistaking me for someone else [04:44] thanks cfhowlett for your input [04:44] mrsudoer, sorry [04:45] tgm4883: i had this problem a few days ago and dr_willis threw it right at me.. i just cant remember now. its like shift=alt f4 or something i just forgot [04:45] mrsudoer, in order to run a different DE you should change your xinitrc file so that when you boot it starts the one you want [04:46] bin_bash, you can also specify at the login screen, right? [04:46] mrsudoer, idk I don't use a login screen [04:46] mrsudoer, yes [04:46] I think it depends on which one you're using [04:46] Hey guys, I have an issue with 12.10, when I boot from the live cd and click "Try Ubuntu" it kicks me out to a terminal [04:46] mrsudoer, for xdm and gdm at the very least, not sure of others. [04:47] how can I increase the space in the C disc?? I have two operative systems and two parts of the disc that are free. [04:47] no error but a blinking cursor, though I can't try anything there either [04:47] chadster1975, what irc program do you use? [04:47] edude03, did you check the md5sum of the disk before burning it? [04:47] s/disk/iso/ [04:47] arielsanflo, boot an ubuntu disk, run gparted and resize [04:47] !gparted|arielsanflo, [04:47] !nomodeset | edude03 [04:47] arielsanflo,: gparted is a !GTK/!Gnome !GUI partitioning program. Type « sudo apt-get install gparted » in a console to install it - A GParted "live" CD is available at http://gparted.sourceforge.net/livecd.php [04:47] edude03: A common kernel (boot)parameter is nomodeset, which is needed for some graphic cards that otherwise boot into a black screen or show corrupted splash screen. See http://ubuntuforums.org/showthread.php?t=1613132 on how to use this parameter [04:47] I did, but I should also mention I wrote it to a USB drive [04:48] tgm4883: im using limechat on my mac that is sitting next to my broken ubuntu machine [04:48] OerHeks I was thinking that but thee display isn't corrupt it's just a terminal [04:48] chadster1975, any chance that logs to a file? [04:48] you could just grep the file [04:48] I'll try anyway [04:49] edude03, black screen with blinking cursor that seems to halted the system ? nomodeset could help [04:49] OK trying it [04:49] tgm4883: it was about a week ago. i feel like id have better luck goggling like crazy to find it. dr_willis spit it out so fast i assumed it was one of those common things everyone does all the time [04:50] chadster1975, maybe it's something he does [04:50] but i've never done it [04:50] nor heard of it [04:53] chadster1975, I've never done it either. If you don't idle in this channel, it might just be easier to "grep dr_willis logfile.log" [04:53] a quick google search doesn't turn up anything [04:53] ^ [04:54] So, I have the ubuntu "Remote Desktop" server working and I have openssh-server working too. How can I access the vnc server through SSH? [04:55] with no modeset it cycles colours [04:57] hello, I have a peculiar problem..... I am currently watching a video with vlc... this video was downloading in firefox as I was watching it. Then I accidententally cancelled the download (meant to click the one above it) so the file was deleted.... but it is still playing in vlc untill it gets to the end of the file [04:57] is there any way I can recover the file without having to re download it [04:57] id rather not redownload as I am on g3 and paying per megabyte [04:57] zzxx, does VLC have a File > Save option? [04:58] (If i can fecover the file I can resume the download) [04:58] tgm4883: no, not that I saw [04:59] furthermore if I lsof I can see the file: vlc 7634 jake 21u REG 7,0 94470416 106605 /home/jake/Downloads/fm6dy66jeyo2.part (deleted) [05:04] im running ubuntu quantal, is there a way to get gedit to remember cursor position in the files it has open? it used to, in lucid, and now its only sporadic, im already have session svaer, which is working fabulously ], and this is the final quirk of this upgrade [05:05] zzxx : what platform/distro are you using [05:07] What USB sound cards are known to work in ubuntu 12.04? [05:07] link to a list of proven usb cards? [05:07] zzxx, see if it's in your trash bin [05:08] hpuser2323, https://wiki.ubuntu.com/HardwareSupportComponentsSoundCards [05:09] hpuser2323: try this ... https://wiki.ubuntu.com/HardwareSupportComponentsSoundCards [05:10] thanks [05:10] whoops cfhowlett beat me to it ;-) [05:10] Tex_Nick, indeed ... but great minds think alike [05:10] Tex_Nick: ubuntu 12.12 [05:11] bin_bash: not in the trash [05:11] zzxx, dunno then [05:11] cfhowlett: you're faster than this ol coot ;) [05:12] Tex_Nick, only sometimes :) [05:12] anyone know where the /proc/pid file is on ubutu? [05:12] bun* [05:14] hi. I messed up my bootloader being greedy. I read an article in hackernews about e4rat and installed it. But apparently Ubuntu already has it's own. So I uninstalled it, but now Ubuntu's loader (forget the name) doesn't run. No 1. No2, I installed BUM to turn off services on system startup and I see openarena-server activated?? I uninstalled OpenArena ages ago, and looking in Synaptic there's nothing there. Any ideas? [05:15] makara, a little knowledge truly is a dangerous thing. And one problem at a time. [05:15] does anyone here use pulseaudio? I've had a problem with audio skipping when playing it (it's seemingly random) 'm using pulseaudio with alsamixer [05:16] cfhowlett, truly. Well the first problem is more pressing [05:16] zzxx : chances are the file is not resumable ... something to keep in mind for the future, if you're concerned bout bandwidth usage ... you might use wget to dl the file ... wget allows file resume on disconnects ... i know it doesn't hepl you now though :( [05:16] why ubuntu 12 fast heat, and how to fix [05:16] bin_bash, also ask that in #ubuntustudio maybe [05:17] cfhowlett, tbh I'm not even using ubuntu. I was just wondering if anyone had had the problem [05:17] if you're not using ubuntu, the question is offtopic [05:17] makara, I'm unfamiliar with e4rat, but I would think re-installing your default bootloader, grub would fix it. [05:17] hatake, drivers for your fan not working? what is your hardware? [05:17] bin_bash, have you tested VLC ? sudo apt-get install vlc [05:18] !grub|makara, [05:18] makara,: GRUB2 is the default Ubuntu boot manager since 9.10 (Karmic). Lost GRUB after installing Windows? See https://help.ubuntu.com/community/RestoreGrub - For more information and troubleshooting for GRUB2 please refer to https://help.ubuntu.com/community/Grub2 - See !grub1 for releases before Karmic (9.10) [05:18] I have vlc and mpd etc [05:18] bu it's so random [05:18] makara, asus k45d [05:18] cpu amd a8-4500m 1.9ghz [05:18] ram 4gb [05:18] vga radeon dual graphics 7640g+7470m 1gb [05:18] makara, how about laptop mode tools [05:18] can anyone help me if i have lost my unity tool bar? [05:19] cfhowlett, I have grub. Its Ureadahead not working now [05:20] Tex_Nick: Thanks for the warning, indeed I can resume this one with wget if I recover it. ive checked :) [05:20] cfhowlett, its installed, but doesn't do the trick [05:20] 5min boottime [05:20] maybe more [05:21] hey all. i recently upgraed to 12.04 from 11.10 and when using chrome videos which use flash (i believe) such as youtube i get the error "could not load plugin" this does not happen when using firefox for example [05:21] test [05:21] makara, can't help with ureadahead [05:21] bin_bash, i also install ubuntu-restricted-extras and ffmpeg. See if they help. [05:21] wrektjet, sudo apt-get install #ubuntu-restricted-extras might help, but there is a known bug with chrome and videos ... [05:22] bin_bash ... i had a problem with vlc a few month ago ... sound was distorted on some files ... i ignored it for a while untill another person posted a similar problem using skype & vlc [05:22] cfhowlett, the reason i mention firefox working is because i have installed rstriced extras and it has worked previously but no longer so i thought maybe there wasa new issue [05:23] wrektjet, also enable backports and run apt-get update && apt-get upgrade && apt-get dist-upgrade [05:23] g'night everybody [05:23] wrektjet, to capture any new goodness [05:23] bin_bash : i found this link that solved both our problems ...http://askubuntu.com/questions/157891/skype-and-vlc-sounds-sizzle-distorted-bad [05:25] bin_bash : don't know if it applys to your problem ... tis a simple way to see though ... if it doesn't work ... easy to revert [05:25] yeah [05:25] thanks bro [05:25] bin_bash np :-) [05:27] what is bin bash? [05:27] zzxx : sorry was looking round ... good to know ;-) [05:27] jason766, it's me === Onixs_ is now known as Onixs [05:27] Tex_Nick: np. [05:28] aha [05:28] wait is that the system? [05:28] cfhowlett, just an update i found a thread where someone said they disabled the adobe version and it worked for me [05:28] wrektjet, so simple a solution ... [05:29] now i need to fix my partitions which got all mixed up when i tried using this partition manager [05:29] so i have to manually mount them every boot and all my files get mixed up. BUT AT LEAST I CAN WATCH THE NHL NOW [05:30] what is full path to ifconfig please? [05:30] for anyone who may care, this worked for me to recover the deleted, but still open video: [05:30] i found the process id of the running vlc (7634) then went to /proc/7634/fd/ and found a symlink "21" which linked to the deleted file. All I had to do was cp 21 /home/jake/myrecoveredfile [05:31] anyone? [05:32] apb1963__, find ifconfig will you [05:32] which ifconfig and/or whereis ifconfig should do it :) [05:32] apb1963__: apparently, 'ifconfig' is deprecated in favour of 'ip' [05:32] apb1963__, locate ifconfig [05:32] got it [05:32] thanks [05:32] Tex_Nick, interestinglyu, that made it worse -.- === hpuser2323 is now known as hpuser4466 [05:34] great [05:36] bin_bash : jeeze that's bad ... well don't know what to say ... OH ... did you log out then back in ... you need to do that for the config file to work [05:36] How to fix a dim lcd screen on a laptop? === apb1963___ is now known as apb1963_ [05:37] Might be a hardware issue as the battery is dead and I [05:37] and i'm running on AC power. Was working fine yesterday. Now it dimmed. [05:37] hpuser4466: Have you tried adjusting brightness? [05:37] bin_bash : if it doesn't help, just undo the change you made to the config file [05:38] Tex_Nick, i rebooted [05:38] hpuser4466: for instance my laptop has function keys for backlight brightness controls. [05:38] histo: yes. tried the Fn + brightness button. Didn't work [05:38] and then changed it and then killed/restarted pulse [05:38] hpuser4466: Does the onscreen notifier come on when you hit FN+brigthness up button? [05:39] hpuser4466: I know on my particular laptop I'm unable to control brightness unless I pass some kernel options at boot. Bug with current kernels that will never be fixed for my hardware. [05:39] bin_bash : ok man ... can't help you then ... sorry [05:39] how can I refresh the dhcp address assigned to me? on windoze, a simple ipconfig /release and/or plus /renew would do it... what would be the ubuntu equivalent? [05:40] apb1963_: the dhclient command i think [05:40] histo: Ah, the kernel option sounds interesting. The brightness button shows nothing. [05:40] hii , i am using apache 2 [05:40] apb1963_: sudo dhclient -r will release and sudo dhclient should renew [05:41] Tex_Nick, I'm just uninstalling it. [05:41] eff this. [05:41] when i have to open a app, i have to type 127.0.0.1:8000/admin/ [05:41] hpuser4466: well you'd have to troubleshoot I think there are some command line options with acpi to control brightness you can try first to see if your keymaps are wrong. [05:41] how to configure the apache 2 so that whaen i type admin [05:41] it will give the same result [05:41] bin_bash : wait ...; uninstalling what ??? [05:41] pulseaudio [05:42] histo, thanks i'm looking into it. [05:42] nitin__: what like you could type admin and it would link to 127.0.0.1:8000/admin ?? [05:42] Tex_Nick, pulseaudio [05:42] every time ive seen someone uninstall pulse audio.. they seem to end up reinstalling the whole system later [05:42] histo: yes [05:42] dr_willis: I have pulseaudio uninstalled and I'm having a great time [05:42] hpuser4466: what model of laptop do you have? [05:42] bin_bash : listen to dr_willis !!! [05:43] dr_willis thank you.. [05:43] histo: if i type it should redirect to 127.0.0.1:8000/admin [05:43] dr_willis, bin_bash: the important thing is to make sure ___not___ to purge pulseaudio [05:43] Ben64: we know how weird you are... ;) [05:43] histo: IBM Thinkpad R40e. [05:43] I don't have anything that depends on it, dr_willis. So, I think it's fine. [05:43] histo: thank you thank you thank you :) [05:43] I don't need pulseaudio. I just had it for skype to make it easier === Kitar|st_ is now known as Kitar|st [05:44] hpuser4466: http://askubuntu.com/questions/83965/ubuntu-10-04-cant-adjust-brightness-on-my-lenovo-thinkpad I found this not sure if it applies [05:44] dr_willis, why would anyone do that? it doesn't make any sense. It's just an audio plugin. [05:45] bin_bsah : i would not do that ... if dr_willis warns against it, you would be wise to listen to him ;-) [05:45] hpuser4466: I noticed on mine setting the /sys/class/backlight/acpi_video0/brightness value will change brightness. For instance mine ranges from 0-9 [05:46] Tex_Nick, I know what I'm doing. I chose to install pulseaudio, I can choose to uninstall it. [05:46] What a ridiculous claim [05:47] are you even running ubuntu? [05:47] can someone provide root's standard PATH please? I can't find sudo or dhclient [05:47] apb1963_: they should be in /sbin/ or /usr/sbin i belive [05:48] bin_bash: Another option is to try a different sound card that's proven to work with your OS. [05:48] had to do that with some pcs. [05:48] hpuser4466, it's a laptop lol [05:48] no use flogging a dead horse as they say [05:48] you can get a usb sound card [05:48] no guarantees that would work either though [05:49] So, apparently I can't SSH into my ubuntu box until AFTER I've logged in through the GDM login screen. How can I get around this? [05:49] dr_willis tried those first already... no luck [05:49] hpuser4466, it's also a pulseaudio problem [05:49] dr_willis, what in ubuntu depends on pulseaudio? [05:50] well it depends [05:50] pulse audio is used by the unity and gnome desktops [05:51] I'm not using either. [05:51] and i asked are you even using ubuntu.... [05:52] mrsudoer: youa re using encrypted home partitions? [05:52] dr_willis, you're implying that in order to use ubuntu you have to be using either gnome or unity? [05:52] dr_willis, yes...crap [05:52] bin_bash: you aparently just like to argue when people ask you questions.. have a nice day. [05:53] I'm using ubuntu with openbox [05:53] thanks dr_willis. I found a how-to fix here: https://help.ubuntu.com/community/SSH/OpenSSH/Keys [05:53] mrsudoer: there may be some work arounds - someone as asking a similer thing last week. he was checking out the askubuntu.com site for fixs [05:53] mrsudoer: great. [05:53] see if that will work [05:53] can someone provide root's standard PATH please? I can't find sudo or dhclient or locate.... [05:54] as simple echo $PATH as root should do it :) [05:56] Which version of Ubuntu, 12.04 or 12.10, is preferred for steam compatibility? [05:57] Why does the lightdm package seem to depend on unity? [05:57] 12.10 ubuntuguy123 [05:57] ubuntuguy123: either really [05:57] brb, going to test this... [05:57] OerHeks any idea why game performance is bad in Unity on 12.10? I'm using the 310 driver. In XFCE performance is great. [05:58] ubuntuguy123: because unity [05:58] So I should stick with XFCE? [05:58] yeah or anything else that doesn't use your gpu [05:58] or use the steam desktop entry at the login screen ubuntuguy123 [05:59] works now [05:59] thanks :) [05:59] commands for LXTerminal please? [06:00] I am trying to remove a shortcut in the Places menu within Rhythmbox, when I was selecting my music library I accidentally clicked music and moved the mouse and it created a second "Music" location in the left hand navigation "Places", it doesn't appear in Nautilus but it is bother me, any thoughts? [06:00] whagt commands jason766 ? [06:01] jason766, default shortcut for Terminal in XUbuntu is super+T or Press Alt+F2, then type xfce4-terminal or xterm to run the terminal. [06:03] Why does the lightdm package seem to depend on unity? [06:04] seriously? Nobody can tell me root's standard PATH? [06:04] key in bash [06:04] bin_bash : we can see you are trying to interact with the channel ... that's good ... however you seem to argue with everyone about their replys ... could i recommend a good read ... http://www.catb.org/esr/faqs/smart-questions.html ... i don't mean that to insult you ... it's just a good read for everyone ... Eric Raymond is one ot the original developers of gnu/linux stuff, an old hacker ... it try to follow his article :) [06:05] /sbin and /usr/sbin are the 2 special parts abd [06:05] and can you confirm whether that is where sudo and dhclient live please? [06:05] nope.. im on my phone [06:05] can anyone please? [06:05] try /sbin/sudo --help [06:05] I guess it wasn't installed [06:05] or use tab completion [06:06] ok, thank you [06:06] /sbin/ [06:06] yeah, it's not there [06:06] hi mergrd [06:06] hai [06:06] but thank you [06:07] and dhclient ? [06:07] what on earth is that? [06:07] /bin /sbin /usr/sbin and /usr/bin are the 4 core directories in the paths [06:07] dsomething host client [06:08] ? [06:09] apb1963_: dhclient wans't installaed? [06:09] mergerd: dhclient is used to obtain an ip via dhcp [06:12] Last question of the night :) So, I'm trying to connect to VNC through SSH and when I run the x11vnc (while the remote desktop is sitting at the graphical login screen), I get an error saying "x11vnc was unable to open the X DISPLAY: ":0", it cannot continue". Any idea on how to get x11vnc to work AT the login screen? [06:13] histo: I'm in the middle of an install. sudo hasn't been installed - I don't know where dhclient lives so I don't know yet. I'm having a network issue that I'm trying to resolve by releasing the ip address that was assigned to my vmware adapter and is causing the install process to fail at the point of getting an IP from DHCP. [06:13] How do I run a php script? [06:13] mrsudoer: x11vnc tries to share the current vidible desktop. when you ssh in it sets the display. so its sort of going in a loop.. do you really need to see the 'vidsible' desktop on the vnc server? if not. You can ssh in and run tightvnc or vnc4server instead [06:14] open a new terminal and dhclient -r && dhclient [06:14] right... it can't find it with the current path set [06:14] so I guess it wasn't installed yet either? [06:14] apb1963_: echo $PATH [06:14] yes [06:14] apb1963_: What installer are you using? [06:14] if you source /etc/profile i think that will reset the path [06:14] "easy install" [06:15] mrsudoer: i expanded shellscript that runs remotely as root x11vnc to connect to login manager's xauth with parameter: " -auth /var/run/lightdm/*/*" [06:15] apb1963_: Okay what is easy install and where did you get that? [06:15] since you haven't heard of it... I have to assume it's part of vmware [06:15] mrsudoer: after loging in you should be able on subsequent runs be able to connect normally as user without this parameter [06:16] apb1963_: okay yes. Did it boot to a GUI or a text based installer? === hatake is now known as daenglinuxx [06:16] hi all. I am needing to compile a single kernel module after I have patched it. Is there an easy way to do this so that I dont have to wait for a whole kernel to compile? [06:16] Church, so I should add " -auth /var/run/lightdm/*/*" to my current x11vnc command when I SSH to my remote computer, once (as root). and it should work on subsequent connections? [06:17] I guess it's sort of a curses based gui I suppose [06:17] it's gui-ish :) [06:17] apb1963_ that's possible [06:18] mrsudoer: well, that is what's in my vnc script that runs remote x11vnc / sets up ssh forwarding / runs local vncviewer, if i supply gdm param to script. works for me. [06:18] apb1963_: okay and you are getting to a console by hitting alt+f2 through f3 right? [06:18] correct [06:18] apb1963_: Well int he install if you go back to the menu you should be able to configure the network again. [06:18] I get the same failure message [06:18] apb1963_: It will walk you through setting it up. [06:19] apb1963_: What message is that? [06:19] Hey all :] [06:19] Gumby: http://www.tldp.org/LDP/lkmpg/2.6/html/x181.html [06:19] Church, sounds like my setup as well :) I'll give it a shot [06:19] thanks histo, Ill have a read [06:19] Does, UCP is dropped? [06:19] histo: this one: http://snag.gy/98Bzt.jpg [06:19] Gumby: https://www.linuxquestions.org/questions/linux-kernel-70/rebuilding-a-single-kernel-module-595116/ [06:19] Church, the /*/* ...what's the first "*" do? I haven't seen a wildcard like that before.. [06:20] Hackuin: what? [06:21] Where is Ubuntu certification? [06:21] apb1963_: any reason you can use the ubuntu iso file and instlal in vmware? I'm not really familiar with this easy install or where you got it. Nor do I know how you ahve vmware setup in regards to networking. [06:21] histo: there was another vm at one time and the isp has latched on to the mac. Hence the bright idea to use dhclient to release the IP so that I can continue with the install and hopefully grasb it back [06:22] apb1963_: well dhclient or dhcp3 has to be there for the installer to pull an ip [06:22] histo: Yes. One machine... need two. vmware is setup for bridging [06:22] apb1963_: It's probably something in your settings disable bridging and restart the installer. [06:23] well that's certainly true enough... I'm assuming that the installer process is doing what it does to grab the address... problem is, from my ISP's point of view, the address is already assigned. [06:23] apb1963_: Wait so you are trying to give the vm an external ip? [06:23] im having trouble keeping my display from going into suspend. i have changed the settings, but it does it anyway. can anyone help? [06:23] histo: yes sir [06:23] anonymousraptr: X has a default suspend also I've found. Atleast on my debian box. [06:24] apb1963_: does your isp allow you more than one ip? That's pretty unusual unless you have a business class static ip setup. [06:24] histo: I requested it, I paid for it.. they gave it to me. $8 a month with tax and such. [06:25] 2 DHCP addresses [06:25] histo: im not sure if that means i cannot change it? [06:25] I am trying to use DD utility. Can I use DD utility on a disk that is being used..? === Krenair_ is now known as Krenair [06:25] I used to get it free.... then I started asking questions and they said "Hmmm... that's weird... you're not supposed to get 2 addresses..." and so now I pay for it. [06:26] Fretta: yeah, but it has risks i assume [06:26] Fretta: not a great idea [06:27] i need help with wget, i am trying to download all the sub folders under a url (http://www.fullsack.com/gnnix/base/root/dist/usr/share/themes/Tgc-large/) [06:27] aeon-ltd dr_willis good to know [06:27] Fretta: It will bomb out if dd happens to access a sector that is being written to at the same time. Unmount the volume and then do your dd... [06:27] histo: So... the vmware guys suggested I clone the mac address already in use since it's been assigned an IP... since I apparently can't release the one in use. [06:27] i am using wget with -r -nd flag, but all i get is file rejected, it still try to traverse the entire tree, how should i avoid this? thanks [06:27] anonymousraptr: try molly-guard. [06:27] rob_p: how could I dd if I only have one disk? should I create another disk using mkfs? [06:28] histo: can you tell me the syntax to set the mac address of an interface? [06:28] apb1963_: Why not just choose a different mac for the vm and restart it? [06:28] I presume it can be done with ip [06:28] apb1963_: that would release it. [06:28] I don't believe that's possible [06:28] apb1963_: be alot easier for you than all this [06:28] [create another disk] I mean [create another file system] rob_p [06:29] Fretta: you need an *unmounted* volume, however you accomplish that is up to you [06:29] rob_p: thanks [06:29] histo: as far as I know....vmware synthesizes macs... I don't get a choice. I will ask though. [06:29] Fretta: welcome... [06:31] histo: [22:27] I dunno; I'd be concerned with finding that MAC that the ISP thinks you have apb1963_ [06:31] apb1963_: ifconfig eth0 down && ifconfig eth0 hw ether de:ad:be:ef:c0:fe [06:31] apb1963_: then bring the interface up ifconfig eth0 up [06:31] Fretta: mkfs doesn't create disks [06:32] histo: ifconfig was not installed... is it possible to use ip instead, and if so... how? [06:32] his to [create another disk] I mean [create another file system] [06:32] histo: ^^^ [06:32] ip was installed [06:32] Fretta: yes and you shouldn't use dd on a mounted filessytem [06:33] icloud : what url ? [06:33] histo: got it [06:33] Tex_Nick, http://www.fullsack.com/gnnix/base/root/dist/usr/share/themes/Tgc-large/ [06:33] so what the hell is "iso-scan/filename=....." supposed to mean in boot prompts [06:33] Tex_Nick, just trying to grab the large theme since it does not come with xubuntu-desktop [06:33] its not in any man page or online documentation [06:33] Tex_Nick, everything look so small [06:34] Tex_Nick, so i tried wget -r http://www.fullsack.com/gnnix/base/root/dist/usr/share/themes/Tgc-large -nd -R index.html, and basically wget still try to crawl the entire tree and just print to screen file is suppose to be rejected [06:35] icloud : hold on checking [06:36] hello.. i am hoping that someone might be able to help me [06:36] mike400hp, details please. [06:36] I use ubuntu 12.1 on my laptop with no problems.. [06:36] !details|mike400hp, [06:36] mike400hp,: 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 ..." [06:36] I decided to try it on my office desktop [06:36] hi [06:37] the install took over two hours installing from USB 3 flash drive [06:37] BillyZane, greetings [06:37] ty cfhowlett === atrius is now known as atrius_away [06:37] mike400hp, what are the specifications of that office computer? [06:37] now that it is installed, it runs extremely slow and crashes all the time [06:38] Church, I don't know exactly how that paramter operatres, but it worked for me so thank you :) [06:38] mike400hp, hardware specs??? [06:38] mike, specs? [06:39] hi ppl [06:39] mike400hp, What make, model etc is the office computer [06:39] the office desktop has:.... Intel DX58S02 motherboard, Sixcore Intel processor, 24GB RAM, OCZ SSD, nvidia 660ti [06:39] nearst, greetiings [06:40] mike400hp, with those specs, this thing should be dancing. did you md5sum verify the iso? === _p0int is now known as p0int [06:40] ty cfhowlett [06:40] I'm using the same flash drive that I used for my laptop install and the laptop is fine [06:41] i'm noob but, swapdrive? [06:41] mike400hp, every so often a question may be directed your way so that we may problem solve. For best results, answer the questions ... [06:42] mike400hp, with those specs, this thing should be dancing. did you md5sum verify the iso? [06:42] mike400hp: confirm your architecture of lap and your office desktop is same? I did faced long time ago, installing a 32 bit OS on 64 bit system which has high hardware configurations... [06:42] !swapdrive : roger__ [06:42] KI4RO: I am only a bot, please don't think I'm intelligent :) [06:42] During the install, I used the advanced partitioning options.. I removed all the windows partitions on the SSD and told ubunto to use the entire SSD [06:43] !swapdrive | roger__ [06:43] I have a problem with my network. I've so far been able to view the computers on my network with no issues, however, I can no longer view my windows 7 in my network. I was told to use samba, but I feel that it shouldn't be necessary, as I've never needed it before. Regarding recent changes to my computer, I have recently typed: "mv /home/riz/.gtkrc-2.0 /home/riz/.gtkrc-2.0.BAK" [06:43] Both are using the 32bit version === subdesign is now known as sub_ [06:44] I'd install again using 64-bit, also may have been just a bum install? [06:44] I'm noob though so get 2nd opinion [06:44] Tex_Nick, any luck? i am off to bed soon [06:44] BillyZane: open a terminal ctrl+alt+t and type in smbtree hit enter see if it shows your 7 box and it's shares [06:44] mike400hp, yo. mike. DID YOU VERIFY THE ISO? [06:44] hi histo :) [06:44] will do [06:45] yes, I can see it [06:45] I tried the 64 bit version on my laptop but found that there were a lot of programs that didn't like it [06:45] it shows my other computer on there [06:45] no i did not verify the iso [06:45] cfhowlett, LOL i don't think he knows what you are talking about [06:45] roger__, https://help.ubuntu.com/community/SwapFaq [06:45] mrsudoer: you need to be able to connect to x server using x authentification. problem being, that login manager runs as root and only after loging in it launches x server under user account with dropped priviledges with user accessible xauth files. so until you've logged in you need root to get access to those root's yet xauth files. [06:46] hi i looking for a Crosscompile with Multiarch channel ... i want to test if my stuff work on i385 [06:46] I connected one TV-out camera to my ubuntu laptop, it is showing as a USB Mass Storage device , I want to get it as /dev/video , can anybody guide? [06:46] BillyZane: then you should be able to browse to it with the file browser. or you can hit ctrl+l in your file browser and smb://nameofcomputer [06:46] i mean i386 [06:46] icloud: the directory http://www.fullsack.com/gnnix/base/root/dist/usr/share/themes/Tgc-large/xfwm4/ ... contains about 50 files ... you want to get all those files ? [06:46] icloud, thought of that, but I'd prefer to assume he just didn't see my query or didn't want to answer .. [06:46] ok, one sec [06:46] Hanmac_: there is no i386 ver of ubuntu anymore. [06:46] Tex_Nick, yeah all those files makes one theme [06:47] histo: I am there, i can view it! [06:47] histo: I just don't understand why the network icon is gone [06:47] histo but i can install i386 packages on a amd64 system [06:47] BillyZane: Which network icon? [06:47] what he means is there isn't anything that runs on i386 anymore [06:47] Hanmac_: you mean x86 [06:47] Tex_Nick, but wget keeps on crawling the entire dir tree, i like to know how to avoid it [06:47] Ben64: yeah and they are dropping i386 from linux kernel in 3.8 [06:47] histo: in the file manager, on the left side, there was a bar called network, clicking on it let me see my workgroup, and computers attached to it. [06:47] I could try making another flash drive for the install and verify the ISO but I think since it worked for my laptop that it would be good [06:48] histro yeah (but you use package:i386 for it) [06:48] histo: No help on using ip to change mac address? Again... ifconfig isn't installed [06:48] Hanmac_: i don't think you quite get it [06:48] icloud: sorry had to run off for a bit ... give me i minute to take care os something [06:48] Hanmac_: 32bit != i386 [06:48] histo: i can see you're busy, i'll wait till it cools down [06:48] Tex_Nick, np, thanks for your help [06:48] histo is there an tutorial or channel for crosscompiling with multiarch? [06:49] BillyZane: I'm not busy I can handle multiple conversations. [06:49] So any other ideas what could be the problem causing slow performance? [06:49] BillyZane: what happens when you click network now? [06:49] histo: the network icon isn't there [06:49] apb1963_: Your problem is with vmware not ubuntu btw. [06:50] mike400hp, you DID install the 64 bit version, right? [06:50] histo & Ben64 the packages are tagged with i386 under ubuntu >> http://packages.ubuntu.com/raring/i386/tiled/download [06:50] Hanmac_, http://www.lshift.net/blog/2012/06/17/using-debian-multiarch-for-cross-compiling [06:50] no... i used the 32bit. .I'm aware of the 4GB address limit [06:50] BillyZane: are you using ubuntu? and which version? [06:51] histo: the problem is with my ISP and possibly vmware... however, they suggest cloning the mac address and I would do that if ifconfig were installed. I'm not trying to lay blame... simply trying to get it to work [06:51] histo: the network's integrity is fine. I was able to use VNC earlier. Using your method, I can access it. However, this seems to be a problem purely related to the file manager software not displaying icons. [06:51] Hanmac_: are you referring to x86 vs 64bit? [06:51] histo: I am using 12.10, and I am using xfce 4.10 [06:51] BillyZane: ahh so you are using thunar. [06:51] yes [06:51] histo: I'll assume it can't be done with the ip command. Thank you anyway you've been most kind. [06:52] BillyZane: I don't have thunar installed to help you troubleshoot what happened to the network shortcut. You can try in #xubuntu they may be of more help. [06:52] ok, thank you so much [06:52] apb1963_: No issue is your isp most likely or your vmware settings or the stupid easy installer you are using which isn't supported here. Either way it's all way off topic for this room. [06:53] histo yeah i think that is what i mean [06:53] histo: I simply asked how to change the mac address in ubuntu using the ip command. :) [06:54] i thought the ethtool command can do that === lolcat is now known as lol === lol is now known as lolcat [06:54] apb1963_: What ip command? [06:54] I sit in my cubicle, here on the motherworld. When I die, they will put my body in a box and dispose of it in the cold ground. And in all the million ages to come, I will never breathe, or laugh, or twitch again. So won't you run and play with me here among the teeming mass of humanity? The universe has spared us this moment. [06:54] rumor has it that ifconfig is deprecated and perhaps replaced by "ip" [06:54] apb1963_: Oh on the installer [06:55] ive never seen that memo on that apb1963_ ;) [06:55] histo: no. It's part of ubuntu and other versions of linux [06:55] dr_willis: someone in here mentioned it. [06:55] apb1963_: it would be much easier to change the settings of the vm you would have been done 1/2 hour ago [06:55] dr_willis: & greeting [06:55] dr_willis: ifconfig isn't installed on ubuntu at this point in time and hence part of the problem [06:56] hmm... it was installed last time i inatelled 12.10 i thought [06:56] !find ifconfig [06:56] Tex_Nick, let's resume tomorrow, off to bed [06:56] Found: libnet-ifconfig-wrapper-perl [06:56] histo: what settings? I am unable to change the mac through vmware... as I explained before, they synthesize one and I am unable to choose. === muhammed is now known as basil_ [06:57] icloud : hey man i have a bad problem here ... coyotes scared the goats ... goats broke through fence ... i have to round up thegoats [06:57] !info libnet-ifconfig-wrapper-perl [06:57] libnet-ifconfig-wrapper-perl (source: libnet-ifconfig-wrapper-perl): multiplatform Perl wrapper for ifconfig. In component universe, is optional. Version 0.11-1 (quantal), package size 18 kB, installed size 94 kB [06:58] ok guys... yo're both clearly too busy to pay attention to my problem...I get that. Thank you for trying, I appreciate your patience. [06:58] looks like ifconfig may be a wrapper scxript to some other commands now. [06:58] i thought you used ethtool to change macs anyway ;) [06:58] ethtool is also not installed yet [06:59] apb1963_: I'm trying to google your problem. If you could have some patience [06:59] histo: sure. Thank you [07:00] I did find a page on changing the mac, but it involved editing some files having to do with udev and persistance and such.... I was hoping to use ip since it seems a whole lot simpler [07:00] But if it can't be done, it can't be done. [07:01] ifconfig would have been the way to go... but it's simply not installed yet. [07:01] apb1963_: why not trying to specify an ip address manually in the installer? [07:01] well that's a thought [07:02] a very interesting thought [07:02] apb1963_: Or actually trying the ubuntu installer instead of the "easy install" Perhaps there is a bug with that. [07:02] not sure I have a choice on that [07:02] apb1963_: You should hit cancel when it's trying to dhcp [07:03] apb1963_: and then setup manually Or it should give you the option after dhcp fails [07:03] apb1963_: but again thats with the normal ubuntu installer [07:03] I like the idea of manually using the ip address they already assigned through dhcp to a different mac... but hmmm... no... that prolly won't work now that I think about it... wrong mac I imagine [07:04] cloning would work... I had elastix installed and it had the exact same problem... but they provided a cloning button that made it simple. [07:05] apb1963_: Go in the router and release the other one that got assigned that ip. [07:05] I have no router... just a cable modem that doesn't allow me to go into it. [07:05] apb1963_: virtualbox you can specify a mac for the virtual adpater. I'm suprised vmware doesn't have this option. [07:05] apb1963_: Well then how are multiple ips assinged. [07:06] histo: if it exists, the vmware guys aren't talking about it [07:06] apb1963_: External ones that is. [07:06] apb1963_: I thihnk you really need to check with your ISP that you have multiple ips. [07:07] They TOLD me the IPs and their associated macs... one of the macs exists... it's my physical NIC... the other... we're guessing it belonged to the previous VM I had running, and is locked in. [07:08] apb1963_: I only half read what your trying, but why isnt NAT an option? [07:09] histo: For your continued education, the problem I had regarding the network icon is a common bug in Thunar. It can be fixed with the following commands: "killall Thunar" and "thunar --daemon &" === Kneferilis__ is now known as Kneferilis [07:09] wiggmpk: it is... technically. And is one of the options I plan to try... however, I can only explore one option at a time... currently I'm exploring the "clone mac" option which is apparently running out of steam. [07:10] apb1963_: ok, but can you help me understand your situation? you have a static IP from your ISP? [07:10] wiggmpk: dhcp [07:11] apb1963_: what are you trying to accomplish? you have more than 1 machine and no router? [07:11] wiggmpk: it's locked onto a previous virtual machine's mac address like a pitbull. [07:12] Hello, how can I install the kernel headers for 3.4.0 ? [07:12] apb1963_, which modem is it? [07:12] kepler: scientific atlanta [07:12] apb1963_: "what" is locked on the MAC addy? the modem? [07:12] did you unplug it completely and plug it in? that normally clears the MAC it is using [07:12] wiggmpk: the ip address [07:13] kepler: I'm trying to find a software solution first... yours is another option I intend to try. Just running down the clone mac address from start to finish first. [07:14] apb1963_: can you explain your network infrastructure a little more? you have a modem, connected to what? [07:14] by the way... turns out dhclient is in fact installed... however dhclient -r ; dhclient didn't do the job [07:15] thx [07:15] One PC, running XP Pro SP3 connected to a residential cable modem. VMware Player. Trying to install ubuntu as a guest OS. [07:16] apb1963_: dhclient -r Just releases an assigned ip. dhclient by itselt then will renew it after that. However in your instance I dont' believe an ip was ever assigned. You aren't making much sense. [07:16] apb1963_: and the HOST OS (XP) is NOT able to get an IP address? is that correct? [07:16] host OS has an IP [07:16] apb1963_: Yeah if you have residential cable. You dont' ahve multiple public ips [07:17] apb1963_: but you cant get an IP with the guest? ubuntu? [07:17] apb1963_: also you should be able to configure your cable modem via the internal web address for the gateway. [07:17] wiggmpk: semi-correct. My ISP thinks I already have 2 IPs assigned. [07:17] for my router, i use http://goo.gl/5CSCm running pfsense, WAN into one port, LAN out to switch [07:17] histo: depending on the provider thats not entirely true [07:17] apb1963_: if you ifconfig /all on your windows box you can find the gateway of your router. [07:17] wiggmpk: Residential service with multiple static IPs??? Via who? [07:18] sign me up [07:18] currently avoiding 12.10 for the simple reason that i can not seem to rid of the little error box that randomly pops up on screen stating and error. especially happens upon system login and boot. [07:18] apb1963_: you'll have to talk to tech support (not the first people you call) for your ISP and have them manually delete the lease. You will probably have to have it escalated and wait 3-4 days [07:18] histo: he said he's using DHCP [07:18] wiggmpk, he hasn't power cycled the modem yet. that'd do it [07:18] histo: residential = DHCP 99.99% of the time [07:19] kepler: not if the lease doesnt expire, but it's possible [07:19] wiggmpk: You need to read scrollback. He wants an external ip assigned ot the guest [07:19] histo: I want Fiber speeds too, but chances are it isnt gonna happen with a residential service.. usually its a fluke when you pull more than 1 IP and arent paying for that service [07:20] kernsprog: error box? you mean the 'a system error ahas accord.. do you wan tto report...' thing? [07:20] [22:21] apb1963_: does your isp allow you more than one ip? That's pretty unusual unless you have a business class static ip setup. [22:21] histo: I requested it, I paid for it.. they gave it to me. $8 a month with tax and such. [22:22] 2 DHCP addresses [07:20] dr_willis: yes, that. [07:20] very annoying. [07:20] kernsprog: rather trivial to disable... [07:21] its the apport system/tool [07:21] how? [07:21] apb1963_: Like I said your ISP needs to drop the lease then [07:21] i recall the proper way at teh askubuntu.com site i forget the package to remove [07:21] !info apport [07:21] apport (source: apport): automatically generate crash reports for debugging. In component main, is optional. Version 2.6.1-0ubuntu10 (quantal), package size 161 kB, installed size 1084 kB [07:21] apb1963_: or you need to use ifconfig to clone the mac of the other box that had the other ip [07:21] it might be that one. ;) [07:21] apb1963_: kk, missed that part. I would try kepler's advice and power cycle the modem. if it doesnt work your gonna have to have IT do it [07:22] I think it's time to go ahead and take the hardware option and power cycle the modem. [07:22] dr_willis: thank you. will check that out. [07:22] apb1963_: is there any particular reason why you HAVE to have an external IP for a guest VM? [07:22] histo: they won't do that [07:22] wiggmpk: Yes. Planning to install asterisk. [07:22] hey all [07:23] apb1963_: and that requires a WAN facing IP? [07:23] wiggmpk: highly preferable, but not required. [07:23] when new ubuntu will be released? [07:23] i m beggner i am not able to install ns2 in ubuntu12.4 some one can help me [07:23] ?? [07:23] whats ns2? [07:24] !info ns2 [07:24] ns2 (source: ns2): Discrete event simulator targeted at networking research. In component universe, is optional. Version 2.35+dfsg-1 (quantal), package size 4808 kB, installed size 12424 kB [07:24] wiggmpk: nat causes all kinds of issues that just go away with a public ip [07:24] if its that one.. sudo apt-get install ns2 [07:25] thank u freinds for ur kind help i really aperciate [07:25] apb1963_: for a VoIP system? [07:25] I'm not optimistic on the modem power cycling, as the modem doesn't hold the dhcp server... So I suspect all that will happen is the ip address will simply get reassigned to the same mac address. [07:25] wiggmpk: Correct. [07:26] wiggmpk: pbx actually would be more correct. [07:26] but I could be wrong... which is why I'm happy to give it a shot [07:26] apb1963_: i think maybe the issues you would have from using NAT might take less time to solve than the time you spent trying to solve your current problem hehe, gluck mate [07:27] apb1963_: now yank that power plug lol [07:27] no, NAT is a bear with asterisk... been there.. done that. it's a nightmare... you have to worry about not just signaling packets, but audio packets and it's... trust me... this is easier. [07:29] another option is to install with nat so as to get everything in stalled...... then switch over to bridged configuration and muck about at that point. Then I'll have ifconfig installed and everything else. === chrisgward is now known as chrisward [07:30] but cloning at this point in time would have been the preferred option [07:30] I thank you all for all of your wonderful suggestions [07:30] You're all scholars and gents [07:30] <--- is an idiot =P [07:30] see you soon :) [07:32] Alright, lets see if someone can help me with Rhythmbox. If you click browse in preferences to select your library location, on the left hand navi I have 2 instances of "Music" in Places, how do I remove one? === Guest28282 is now known as tm [07:41] cheers all [07:42] <`ingsoc> Hello, something keeps changing /etc/resolv.conf. I've added the line 'dns-nameservers ip1 ip2' to /etc/network/interfaces, but those dns servers get pushed down in /etc/resolve.conf. Like it's getting that information from elsewhere or something. Does anyone have any ideas? [07:44] ingsoc - Are you using any 3rd party monitoring programs or anything, like ISPConfig? [07:45] <`ingsoc> psychotropic: I don't think I am. I've got a Debian computer connected to the same network and it doesn't happen there. I've got the feeling I may have set it somewhere in the past that I've forgotten about, but I can't for the life of me remember where/if that's possible. [07:45] <`ingsoc> psychotropic: It seems to happen as soon as I login. [07:47] What's the output of your hosts file? [07:47] `ingsoc: check in /etc/resolvconf [07:48] Also, etc/hosts or etc/hostname perhaps [07:49] do you have dnsmasq disaabled?

Discussion is in #ubuntu-phone [10:17] histo, no apache [10:17] just tomcat itself [10:18] seanw95: since you are manually assigning addresses, what are your current settings? [10:18] do you know the hwaddr [10:18] like, on the machine that you are on now [10:18] marcreichelt ubuntu server? [10:18] ? [10:18] is that the mac address [10:18] hwaddr is your MAC address [10:18] ASHER1: not sure which panel they are using but mostlikely you cpanel or you can just use phpmyadmin really easy for db's [10:18] MonkeyDust, sort of [10:18] Right they don't match up on my router settings [10:18] two seconds [10:18] ty dr_willis , [10:18] netinstall with server software [10:18] i have phpmyadmin [10:18] you're restricting by MAC? [10:18] but i need this for install web [10:18] but as of now everything runs fine, and everything is set up [10:18] if want to mess with ls command colors try man dir_colors [10:18] ASHER1: then you can create your joomla database in there. [10:19] It's how it identifies each device [10:19] marcreichelt: gotcha [10:19] without tomcat7 [10:19] i know but i need this control panel for guide [10:19] send the file again guys [10:19] im not sure what you mean. you're allowing access to only certain MACs, or trying DHCP reservation for certain MACs? [10:20] hey all, im trying to install a wireless driver on my laptop and having issues. is anyone familiar with ndiswrapper? [10:20] marcreichelt: yeah maybe you should file a bug that's just wierd behavior. [10:20] reservation for certain macs [10:20] seanw95: then you need to use dhcp to do reservation for certain macs [10:21] is there a particular reason you're doing that? [10:21] histo, but at least there *has* to be something! At least in the logs! [10:21] DHCP is turned on but I never use it to assign addresses [10:21] I don't believe it's a bug... [10:21] so you have DHCP on, but all your devices are statically configured? [10:22] Should the mac address on ubuntu match up with the address in my router [10:22] yes correct [10:22] guys, who send me the cursor theme, please send it again [10:22] i dont know how you have it set up. but i assume once you match them, it should work [10:23] any1copy? [10:23] it sounds like you have some kind of restriction on which MACs work. otherwise, statically assigning in the dhcp range should still work, regardless of MAC [10:23] What is a USB sound card that is KNOWN/PROVEN to work in ubuntu or Lubuntu 12.04 ??? [10:24] looking at the alsa wiki doesn't reveal much inforomation about usb audio devices. I see plenty on ebay for sale, but i want to get one compatible with ubuntu. [10:24] seanw95: If you want to do address reservation. YOu take your mac address from your network card and place that in your routers config. Along with the ip you want ot assign to that mac. Then you set that computer to DHCP. It will pull the reservered address from the router. The other option is to manually specify an IP outside of your routers DHCP range just to avoid conflicts. for instance if it hands out [10:24] x.x.x.100-150 set a machine at x.x.x.151 [10:25] !hcl | hpuser4466 [10:25] hpuser4466: 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 [10:25] it is just easier to use dhcp though, unless you *need* something to stay the same IP for some reason [10:25] hpuser4466: see if this helps ... https://wiki.ubuntu.com/HardwareSupportComponentsSoundCards [10:25] either way, how are we looking after adding your MAC? [10:25] I've done that histro [10:26] automatic DHCP or automatic DHCP addresses only [10:26] Done that, and will I need to restart? [10:26] shouldn't have to [10:26] ping 192.168.0.1 ? [10:27] Yes i looked at the wiki hardware support but it's lacking info on USB/External audio devices. What about all those cheap usb devices on ebay? I see no info about their chipsets. [10:27] unreachable [10:27] what are the network settings for the machine that you are currently on? [10:27] use everything the same, but change the last octet in the IP [10:27] How am I supposed to change the audio device on my laptop? === terlalu is now known as blackjack [10:28] hpuser4466: also www.newegg.com is far better than ebay for purchasinh hardware [10:28] on ubuntu? [10:28] purchasing ^ [10:28] so change..25 to...20. On the router as well? [10:28] seanw95: sudo dhclient -r will release your current ip and sudo dhclient will get a new one now that you have your routers settings setup for address reservation. Or you can reboot. [10:29] hpuser4466: in lubuntu or ubuntu? [10:29] statically assigning should always work, unless filtering the MAC [10:29] what is the IP of the computer you are using now?

[11:32] kepler: Oh? [11:33] What do you mean solarisboy ? [11:33] seanw95_: the command "arp -an" when you type it what si the out output?

[11:34] tanveer_: if you're on 13.04, support is in #ubuntu+1 [11:34] im on 12.10 [11:34] then why are you talking about raring ringtail [11:34] i dont know which one to download [11:35] SolarisBoy: dont think ethtool is installed by default, and he can't get online. his install source was usb which he doesn't have anymore [11:35] mii-tool should be there then [11:35] tanveer_: just follow the link i gave you [11:35] i am [11:35] same diff though its deprecated [11:35] when i down load i getan error message that there is a file missing.

I think I installed grub OVER my windows boot info. [11:35] I can still see and access my windows as a loaded partition,but even though there is an entry for windows in grub,it just doesn't open. [11:35] how can I repair the boot proces for windows [11:35] hope you can help [11:35] i guess ultimately my point is you should also check under the ip layer to ensure there is no pyhsical or MAC disruptions occuring [11:36] Bollebib: Please don't flood; use http://paste.ubuntu.com to paste; don't use Enter as punctuation. [11:36] kepler: arp -n [11:36] tanveer_: we can't support that, but you can try the PPA here... https://launchpad.net/~ubuntu-x-swat/+archive/x-updates [11:36] ok [11:36] sorry [11:36] i got DC'd [11:36] ok does any one know how to change my boot loader "first option" [11:36] did yous ay something solarisboy ? [11:36] i want it to high light windows [11:36] instead of ubuntu as first [11:36] Bollebib, mint is not supported here [11:37] yeah but it's not really a mint problem is it? [11:37] Bollebib, its not an ubuntu issue [11:37] seanw95_: was just asking if you have checked the output of "arp -an" or "arp -n" the difference is only the output format but you should check if everything is properly in "connected state" [11:37] = = [11:37] !mintsupport | Bollebib [11:37] Bollebib: Linux Mint is not a supported derivative of Ubuntu.

[11:49] anmolsingh, how did you copy the iso to the usb stick [11:49] anmolsingh: you need to ask a question for help [11:50] i copied it to usb stick with universal usb installer [11:50] anmolsingh, and did you md5 the iso prior to doing that [11:50] anmolsingh, so NOT unetbootin? not sure that merely copying makes it a bootable media [11:51] How to know that whether my laptop is capable of runing ubuntu 64 or not?

[11:54] well ,can't you just say how you would solve it for ubuntu? [11:54] Is there any software which can install the ubuntu directly to a partition of the hard disk in windows? [11:54] anmolsingh: Not supported, no. [11:54] anmolsingh, windows installer will do that aka wubi [11:54] !wubi > anmolsingh [11:54] anmolsingh, please see my private message [11:54] Wubi, however, is not supported. [11:55] I can't acces windows,that is the problem [11:55] anmolsingh, further wubi is for testing only not for long-term installation. [11:55] but I can access it from the loaded drives [11:55] as I could in ubuntu [11:55] Bollebib, ##windows [11:55] Bollebib: maybe a mint problem, maybe a windows problem, either way its not an ubuntu problem [11:56] anmolsingh, consider virtualbox ? [11:56] I beg to differ,because it's due to the exact same option you can choose at installation [11:56] where you install your grub [11:56] nice info from slovenian channels - sudo su - [11:56] rm - rf / [11:56] it's that option that made this problem [11:56] !danger [11:56] DO NOT RUN THAT COMMAND! That particular command is DANGEROUS and shouldn't be uttered here. REST OF YOU: DANGER, WILL ROBINSON, DANGER! Do not use the command or utter it here thank you!

[11:59] anmolsingh, and how exactly did you create the dvd? [11:59] yes, i even check every folder inside disk. Everything is ok [12:00] anmolsingh, ummm, no. That's not what I meant.

[12:03] Bollebib, yes [12:04] On two probably (nearly?) identical machines (Asus Eee PC, Ubuntu 12.04 LTS, full disk encryption) with Broadcom wifi (model 4313) connecting to wifi fails because we don't get an IPv4 address anymore. On both we've had to fix a full /boot partition before the fail. [12:04] It fails with several accesspoints; assigning an IP address by hand works; with wired connections there's no problem getting an address; dhclient eth1 keeps going forever, dhclient eth0 is an instant success. [12:06] oh - and with Knoppix the problem doesn't show up [12:06] speckmade1, same installation media for the two laptops? [12:07] unsure, very much possible. [12:07] network install, initiated from USB with mini.iso [12:07] hi [12:07] excuse me [12:07] rockcket, greetings [12:07] Have SSH running on a server that's hooked up directly to the internet with an ip address and no local network. Guy there is able to ssh from local term to server's external ip OK. When we try and ssh from our machines we get login prompt but credentials are rejected. We have denyhosts installed and otherwise default ubuntu sshd settings. Any ideas? [12:07] i used startup disk creator to create bootable usb for 12.04.1 iso [12:08] now when i restart computer it doesnt do anything, just opens the grub thing and i select 11.04 and loads it [12:08] cat /etc/*release says DISTRIB_RELEASE=12.04 [12:08] whats up ? [12:08] kzar, if no answer here, ask in #ubuntu-server [12:08] cfhowlett: Thanks OK [12:08] sorry must change to windows CANNOT see anything [12:08] rockcket, 11.04? are you sure? [12:09] i enabled usb boot in bios [12:09] after that it just shows Boot Error once with cursor [12:09] i hit enter and brings grub [12:09] cfhowlett: yes [12:09] i am on 11.04 and trying to upgrade to 12.04 [12:09] Bollebib: may i pm you ? [12:09] if you wish [12:09] so what am i doing wrong [12:09] rockcket: you can upgrade, you don't need to reinstall [12:09] rockcket, you have to change the bios to boot from the USB [12:10] cfhowlett: yes there was an option, [12:10] i enabled it [12:10] after that i get Boot error on boot [12:10] and it gets stuck there [12:10] i hit enter and it loads grub with option for me to choose 11.04 ubuntu [12:10] i choose it and it loads desktop [12:10] Ben64: my upgrade manager says 11.10 [12:10] might want to try making the usb again, also.... don't use enter as punctuation [12:10] rockcket, if you're booting from the USB you should not see grub at all... [12:10] rockcket: 11.04 -> 11.10 -> 12.04 [12:11] as i said, it gives a screen where it gets stukc saying Boot Error. i hit enter there because it gets stuck. then it shows grub [12:11] Ben64: i think fresh installation to 12.04 will be quicker ? [12:11] rockcket, so the USB is not booting then. as for why you're installed OS fails ... [12:11] it will be faster, yes [12:12] so what should i do now cfhowlett ? [12:12] rockcket, I'd suggest a clean 12.04 install [12:12] thats what i am trying to do [12:12] check the md5 of the iso, and use unetbootin to make a new usb [12:12] rockcket, download 12.04, md5sum verification then use startup disk creator to make a boot USB ... unetbootin works too [12:13] or am i doing it wrong ? i am trying to do clean 12.04 install. so i downloaded iso, used startup disk creator to burn into usb and now restarded computer [12:13] hello [12:13] rockcket, you still have the iso you downloaded? run the md5sum on that iso [12:13] http://s7.directupload.net/file/d/3159/hfbtwlnq_png.htm [12:13] beaky, greetings [12:13] do I ever need to defrag linux? [12:13] md5sum are different !!! What it mens [12:13] beaky, conventional wisdom says no [12:14] ah [12:14] beaky: Depends on filesystem but generally no [12:14] Ben64: cfhowlett : this ? [12:14] anmolsingh, your downloaded iso md5sum doesn't say what it should? Means the download was scrambled and do it again [12:14] $ md5sum ubuntu-12.04.1-desktop-amd64.iso 06472ddf11382c8da1f32e9487435c3d ubuntu-12.04.1-desktop-amd64.iso [12:14] beaky: I never have [12:14] Rockcket: Did you get some lines like 'starting from USB'? Maybe note the errors you get. [12:14] rockcket, assuming your system runs 64 bit, yes [12:14] can someone help me? I posted a Link to the problem. [12:15] labsin: i just get 'Boot Error' and then the cursor blinks and it gets stuck [12:15] one third of the Firefox displayed site is unusable [12:15] cfhowlett: ok so what next? [12:15] md5sum for ubuntu 64 bit 12.10? [12:15] anmolsingh, fwiw, a common error. please download via torrents [12:16] anmolsingh, personally, I say ALWAYS run md5sum on downloaded OS's but I'm strange that way ... [12:16] also Save Button and Close Button in Programms are not readable [12:16] rockcket, you still have the iso you downloaded then? [12:16] my connection speed is about 24 kbps. How much time will it take to download again? [12:16] i did not installed the Linux but I have to fix the problem [12:16] cfhowlett: yes ofcourse [12:17] !md5sum|rockcket, instructions and how to ...

[12:17] anmolsingh, via torrents? who knows, but it's better/safer than direct download [12:18] beaky, linux has superior self-maintenance compared to windows [12:18] anmolsingh: you can use the torrent to fix the iso you already have [12:18] cfhowlett: do you want me to check my iso's hash here https://help.ubuntu.com/community/UbuntuHashes ? yes it exists [12:18] What is the speed of download via torrent? [12:18] or am i getting it wrong ? [12:18] anmolsingh: as fast as you can get it [12:18] aw. im getting sick with my windows atm. cant wait to boot my box back [12:18] anmolsingh, unknown. start the torrent and read the feedback [12:18] rockcket, correct [12:18] i could not understand? Explain me. [12:18] ok and now ? [12:19] anmolsingh, "it depends". [12:19] rockcket, run the md5sum. If things check out, proceed to the next step [12:20] anmolsingh, you asked for download speed. Too many factors for any of us to predict ... [12:20] it matches cfhowlett [12:20] the next step there is burn to cd [12:20] but i want to do from usb drive [12:20] rockcket, then do a USB. [12:20] torrent speed base on peers and u bandwidth as well [12:20] i did with startup disk creator === themill_ is now known as themill [12:20] i said that already :( [12:21] rockcket, ok. reading multiple threads ... [12:21] What is the uses of EtherApe? [12:21] rockcket: get unetbootin, and do it again [12:21] rockcket, i'd say attempt to reinstall.

Will there be any impact on the file after it get download completely. [12:22] is there a tutorial on that cfhowlett ? [12:22] rockcket, pretty much the same as startupdiskcreator ...

I'm assuming that switching is not as easy as shutting down, replacing the graphics card, and rebooting and then everything magically works. How should I go about this? [12:37] cgtdk, ask in ##hardware [12:38] bazhang: It's actually more of a Linux question than a hardware question. Specifically, I was thinking about drivers. [12:38] So cold! [12:38] The video cards work fine, it's the software I'm worried about. [12:39] you can't have both ati and nvidia drivers installed at a time, you should completely remove nvidia stuff before putting the ati in [12:39] I need a video webcam to open my webcam pls? [12:39] Ben64: All right. So I should install the ATI driver and remove the Nvidia driver before I replace the graphics card? [12:39] !webcam > root_lance [12:39] root_lance, please see my private message [12:40] Ben64: sudo apt-get install myqsl-server [12:41] Hi, what could cause the LVM devices not to appear in /dev after reboot? [12:41] lvscan etc all recognises it [12:41] but the devices are not in /dev [12:42] cgtdk: I think your system will fall back on the fallback video drivers. Then remove the nvidia, reboot and install the ati driver. I think that's the safer way [12:42] labsin: thank you for the advice [12:45] You guys know how to get smooth desktop and youtube video play without screen tearing? [12:45] I have a gtx 680 [12:45] HI all, I get windows7 and ubuntu, but the bootloader grub was installed in my usb disk, if I want to boot into ubuntu I have to insert my usb disk and change the boot option, it is very unconvient, do you know anyway I can make the dual boot work on the hdd? [12:45] zilkomaa, on chrome? [12:45] zilkomaa: Did you install the proprietary nvidia driver? [12:45] cfhowlett: yes [12:45] twisted`: did you only reboot or did you move disks to a new system? [12:45] ouyes, reinstall grub to the HDD [12:45] cfhowlett: i did the ppa install [12:45] zilkomaa, old bug. don't use chrome ...

[12:47] SolarisBoy: well when I set it up I had the VG in /dev but now after reboot it's gone [12:47] iceroot, that is the problem, I use a laptop with the ufei boot, [12:47] but I now found it under /dev/mapper/vgname-lvname [12:47] well, all, gtg. This has been a MOST entertaining channel tonight! [12:47] so it's ok I guess [12:47] twisted`: thats where is belongs =) [12:47] Zilkomaa not don't use chrome. Go tho chrome://plugins inside chrome and disable /opt/google/chrome/PepperFlash/libpepflashplayer.so and install flash plugin from the ubuntu repo [12:47] yeah just that LVM showed me fancy smancy /dev/vgname/lvname [12:47] !uefi | ouyes [12:47] twisted`: that should be a link to the dm-* devices [12:47] ouyes: UEFI is a specification that defines a software interface between an operating system and platform firmware, it is meant as a replacement for the BIOS. For information on how to set up and install Ubuntu and its derivatives on UEFI machines please read https://help.ubuntu.com/community/UEFI [12:48] twisted`: that should also be there afaik but that path uses the folder (vgname) and the volume as a link to the dm-* file [12:48] Zilkomaa: which ppa? The one I had is now outdated [12:49] labsin: sudo apt-add-repository ppa:ubuntu-x-swat/x-updates [12:50] What is difference between Ubuntu 12.10 and ubuntu 12.04 LTS? [12:50] twisted`: still weird though if what you say actually happend the devices dissapeared and reappered - without any other change [12:51] SolarisBoy: they were not in mapper before [12:51] and I got in back in /dev/vgname/lvname when I did a rename [12:51] ahh you renamed them [12:51] <_helios_> anmolsingh: 12.10 has some new features while 12.04 is Long Term Support [12:51] You'd be better of to install nvidia-experimental-310 after deleting the nvidia-current. This one is from the ubuntu repo and is even a later version. This is the one that is recomended for Steam [12:52] What they are? Can you name a few? [12:52] labsin: Do you mean from synaptic?

[12:53] is there any room which is related to mobile phones? [12:53] seems you did extra things - the 2 links under mapper and the folder named as the volume group are pretty standard [12:54] You can also go to additional softwar in the software sources [12:54] those defaults can be overridden (where to place those links/files) however that would imply it was done when they were created [12:54] Zilkoma: whitch verion are you running? [12:54] Guys is there any room related to Samsung mobile ??? [12:55] labsin: 12.04 [12:55] labsin: 12.04 32b [12:55] lvscan wouldn't change anything it would just tell you what lv's were found - only something like vgchange -aly would actually create missing links and device nodes and stuff - then that would imply that maybe you moved or attached a new disk to another system - so its weird twisted` [12:55] Has anyone managed to install Ubuntu on the small Ultrabook cache ssd's?

[12:56] iceroot, boot-repair told me that [12:56] ouyes: sorry luckily i dont own a UEFI device so i dont know how to handle it [12:56] zilkomaa: Then just open a terminal and run: `sudo apt-get remove nvidia-current` and afterward do `sudo apt-get install nvidia-experimental-310`and you'll have one of the latest drivers.

Also using ext2fsd in windows; home partition is not getting mounted. please help!!!!!!! [13:00] Tex_Nick: But will it boot as the ultrabook cache msata SSD (PCIE card) is normally used for caching recent programs and windows boot files [13:00] Hi all, I get a dual boot problem here is the information from boot-repair http://paste.ubuntu.com/1620281/, I use ufei boot, but every time I see no grub, but directly into windows? [13:01] Tex_Nick: The system has a 500GB hdd also. I was thinking of installing / on ssd /home and /var on HDD and Windows 8 (caching disabled) on HDD [13:01] amitlll: boot from a live distro and see if you can mount it there [13:01] PrincessLuna: i can't answer that ... someone else here might be able to though [13:02] how to download ubuntu via torrent [13:02] i installed lastest kubuntu and i am having trouble with my usb wireless dongle. I solved driver issues but there is still a problem. With same computer and same dongle i can connect my home network via wi-fi under windows 8 and signal strength is very good but in kubuntu signal strength is really bad [13:02] is there any one has an idea? [13:03] PrincessLuna: I thought it was best to make your partitions first and then run the installer in such a case. [13:04] labsin: I know, but would Ubuntu work on the small ssd drive (that is intended for windows 8 caching only) [13:04] yes [13:04] anmolsingh: http://linuxtracker.org/index.php?page=torrents [13:04] PrincessLuna: you could re-partition your 500 hdd drive, if it has enough free spacwe ... install ubuntu as a dual boot [13:05] thanks amrit [13:05] PrincessLuna: my / partition is 17.8 GiB and i have only used 8.5Gib [13:05] Tex_Nick: labsin I know I could but I was thinking of the performance benefit of the ssd so I would like to use that for / [13:06] anmolsingh: I would recommend this http://linuxtracker.org/index.php?page=torrent-details&id=01933b87a8a450c3a88df2349587400aa0f6b71e THis is a link for Linux Mint. or Zorin Os === randall is now known as Guest5711 [13:06] but i want ubuntu [13:07] labsin: I am able to access it now.. But not able to login to ubuntu [13:07] SolarisBoy: agreed but I was just helping someone over SSH on a Linaro box so... [13:07] twisted`: i see ;> [13:07] amitlll: Do you know wat you did before it didn't boot? [13:08] PrincessLuna: i think there is a lot of hype regarding ssd vs hdd performance ... i'm using both and don't really notice the difference [13:08] anmolsingh: http://www.ubuntu.com/download/desktop/alternative-downloads [13:09] Tex_Nick: Startup is a huge difference as it reads a lot of data [13:09] ssd boots much faster ... oncesystem is up though ... one hdd seems as good as ssd [13:09] similar to my smartphone, is it possible to have linux automatically connect to the strongest wifi signal? [13:10] labsin: yeah but what's 30 extra seconds amounto for boot [13:10] learningLinux, usually it do [13:10] Any ideas why i cannot install win7 from usb anymore? It gave me this - device error: cd/dvd device driver missing, it works fine in my another pc. After i booted from win7 dvd it installed just fine.. [13:11] I thought it was corrupted copy but like i said it worked my other pc..weird stuff [13:11] Tex_Nick: For me, nothing... I don't use them. [13:11] wut r the advantages of a /home? [13:12] amit111: If you can mount your /home from the live cd, then there is nothing wrong with it. You chould look it elsewere. If your /home is on a seperate partition, then you can just install ubuntu again using the same user and pw. [13:13] nearst Usually it do?? Good grammer anyway, you can set it to automatically connect to a connection. That doesn't mean it is the strongest one. [13:13] I have 230GB free.. wut u think about my partitions: 4-8GB swap (i have 4GB of ram may upgrade), 1GB boot, 20GB / and 200GB /home???? or should / be bigger? [13:13] You don't need the boot partition [13:14] labsin: what's the harm [13:14] It's only necesary if you're Ubuntu is on a file system that grub can't handle [13:14] provides no benefit, and if you ever run out of room on /boot, stuff will break [13:14] 3 [13:15] PrincessLuna: back to you're question ... you would probably have problems with the windoze cache ... i would think ... someone will probably chime in on that [13:16] Tex_Nick: If I get ubuntu on the ssd, I would obviously disable the win cache. No need for that as I use windows only for visual studio [13:16] fruitFly: If you only wich to install Ubuntu, look into the LVM patitioning.

[13:18] androidappme: doesn't sound urgent, 13.04 support is in #ubuntu+1, and you can easily find the iso using google [13:18] labsin: Windows is on the HDD, I can reinstall it whenever I want on a new partiton [13:18] PrincessLuna: in that case you would probably be good to go ... as long as bios will allow you to boot the device [13:18] labsin: what's wrong with my partitions? === slank_away is now known as slank [13:19] PrincessLuna: I thought in case of an OEM Windows. [13:19] zilkomaa: How do you mean? [13:19] labsin: Do you remember the oldschool ubuntu x-windows menus? [13:19] Can you help me get the iso link for Intel 64bit? I saw AMD 64bit? Is that it? [13:19] androidappme: yes [13:19] androidappme: that's it [13:20] labsin: Where all the installed procs are. [13:20] fruitFly: It looks good. I'd do it the same appart for the /boot. It doesn't do a thing more on another partition [13:20] Ok. Thanks. Is there any download manager you would recommend? [13:20] androidappme: web browser ? [13:20] labsin: It can still be reinstalled. For windows 8, as long as you have installation media the key is in the bios, so it automatically inserts the key and lets you use any retail media of same edition to reinstall windows [13:20] labsin: Now we have this Dash thing.. [13:21] zilkomaa: they are on /opt and /etc [13:21] Yes, I tried but iso doesn't download completely. It shows 700 MB but when I put it on my usb and boots it, it gives me some missing error [13:21] labsin: so why not make a /boot? what's the harm? [13:21] zilkomaa -/etc i mean /usr [13:21] androidappme: is this ubuntu 13.04 you are asking about [13:21] Yes [13:21] androidappme: right #ubuntu+1 is the correct channel [13:21] not this one [13:22] Ok thanks everyone. Have a nice day === Guest56072 is now known as kgs [13:22] labsin: okok brb just re-installed nvidia drivers sudo reboot :D [13:22] fruitFly: because it's just a partition more with space unused and it could do serious harm if it ran out of room and it is just as stable when it's on the / partition. But you can do it anyhow. Why not :) [13:22] Thanks everyone . Have a nice day [13:22] androidappme: you said that [13:23] Yes lol [13:25] zilkomaa: you can install another desktop environment. Most have a stable repo to install on Ubuntu so you can choose whitch one on login. [13:28] How can I get a UEFI system to boot Ubuntu with secureboot on? [13:28] PrincessLuna: what pc are you using [13:29] Tex_Nick: Haven't got it yet but plan to install on a thinkpad ultrabook [13:29] !uefi | PrincessLuna [13:29] PrincessLuna: UEFI is a specification that defines a software interface between an operating system and platform firmware, it is meant as a replacement for the BIOS. For information on how to set up and install Ubuntu and its derivatives on UEFI machines please read https://help.ubuntu.com/community/UEFI [13:30] zilkomaa: To get the old Ubuntu, run `sudo apt-get install gnome-session-fallback` [13:31] PrincessLuna: be aware that there have been some recent problems with uefi on, i think it was a samsung device where ubuntu bricked the pc [13:32] Tex_Nick: Was fixed I think [13:32] Tex_Nick, you're right. It's with recently delivered samsung devices. [13:32] Tex_Nick: I know, I bricked my teacher's Samsung ultrabook unknowingly very recently. [13:32] Tex_Nick, and it's happening with linux in general - not just ubuntu. [13:32] labsin: yeah you're probably right ... i know they were working on it fast & furious [13:33] Hi all [13:33] Tex_Nick: they ended up just deleting the driver that caused the bug. [13:34] wdb : yeah ... right there ... thanks for elaborating [13:34] labsin: Tex_Nick Even though it was fixed the 12.10 and 12.04 images still have this problem as you can't update the media that has already been published unless you use a daily image [13:35] hi, how can i start keyring daemon ? [13:36] PrincessLuna: ok ... good to know you know about it :) [13:37] PrincessLuna: out of curosity ... what kind of GPA will you make ... after bricking the teachers box ? ... just kidding ờᴗớ [13:37] Tex_Nick: I learnt after bricking a laptop that wasn't mine. I was pretty scared but then removing cmos battery and laptop battery fixed it. [13:37] It was even a driver from Greg Kroah-Hartman writen on code he got from Samsung themself https://plus.google.com/111049168280159033135/posts/h7FjkQKZHKT [13:39] PrincessLuna: we're not talking bout that kind of bricking ... this issue requires a motherboard replacement [13:40] And the ppl with bricks got replacements from Samsung I think. [13:40] hello guys, I used adduser to create a user, but now this user doesn't have a "home" dir and also on terminal just shows me "$". doesn't show me the directory where I am and not even the "TAB" works to complete commands. What should I do? [13:40] PrincessLuna: this new issue breaks the bios/cmos chip [13:41] you need adduser -s [13:41] Tex_Nick: I can assure you it stopped after booting the Kubuntu liveusb. You do not actually have to replace the motherboard. Disconnecting both cmos and main battery fixes it. Disconnecting only cmos (which is what others tried) does not work. [13:41] type `man adduser` for more info [13:41] labsin: yeah most did ... heard of a few that haven't yet for some reason [13:41] labsin: so, I need to remove and add again the same user? [13:41] And afterward you also nee to ad a password to is [13:41] Yes [13:41] ok.. [13:42] Tex_Nick: http://www.anandtech.com/show/6713/samsung-laptops-bricked-by-booting-linux-using-uefi I tried the fix described here but had to do the additional step of removing ultrabook battery [13:42] it's not adduser -s [13:42] wait a bit [13:43] labsin: ok [13:43] PrincessLuna: hey thanks for the link i'll have a look [13:44] the subject is kinda getting off topic for this channel though [13:44] it's `sudo adduser -m ` [13:44] thanks. ;] [13:45] then run `sudo passwd ` and choose a pwd [13:46] kalib: don't forget to add the passwd or you can't use it [13:47] Kalib: actually you can also just do it from "users and accounts" in settings. [13:47] labsin: ok. any specific way to remove the user? or just userdel will do it?

Is this dependent on my config or is it a bug? [14:36] hillary: then you will need to remove it manually [14:37] no terminal command? [14:37] But can you extract it the way I proposed? I don't have mkv's to test with. Ones you have a series of commands that work, you can find how to get a list of them etc... [14:37] hillary: notice the amount of details you provided [14:38] ThinkT510, sorry i meant a terminal command to remove it [14:39] hillary: You need to be more specific about how you installed it before we can do that. [14:39] hillary: likewise, notice the details you provided: installed manually [14:39] another part of my problem is that the files have '[' and other 'special' charecters in them as well which can cause issues so i need to gen a cleaned file name [14:40] i downloaded it manualy then install [14:40] hillary: by doing... [14:40] you can get them out easily with a simble `ls` a `grep` and a mv [14:41] hillary: how? did you say a magic word? did you click something? did you type a command? what command?

[14:44] hillary: then you need to rm whatever is in /opt that has to do with aptana_studio [14:44] .xchat2/budus.so [14:45] Does it have a shortcut in the dash? [14:45] ThinkT510, ok let me try [14:45] mirkogandi: can we help you with something? [14:45] Wolfpup: I'm going to react on you post on ubuntuforms with wat I found so far.

How to find out ? [15:27] is there a way to automaticly start x without monitor attached [15:27] Wolfpup: does running `mkvextract attachments 1:` on one of the files ressult in a ttf in that folder? [15:27] hi [15:28] nick07: you could set up a crontab to do the startx command. setting the time to "@reboot" instead of the normal "10 * * * *" kinda stuff, will make it run when the computer turns on.

[15:33] belgianguy: Updates on Ubuntu don't quite work this way, I'm afraid -- Ubuntu usually only provides security updates, no major updates, Mozilla software being the only exception.

[17:45] xangua: I thought it was via a ppa, if I do that, will it integrate well with the OS? [17:46] Hey, I've got an Ubuntu 10.04 server and I'm trying to upgrade my distribution to gain access to some packages that are missing from this distribution's repository.

[17:47] Hi, I'm a Ubuntu newbie, but I have a full /boot partition and I'm trying to clean up some old kernels but I'm getting the following. http://paste.ubuntu.com/1621601/ - Is there another way to cleanup my /boot? [17:47] nearst: It gives me "New release 'maverick' available." [17:48] xangua: If I install theh .deb from Libreoffice I am afraid that I will never get updates as it did not install from the apt system right? [17:49] Heh, Maverick ...new? [17:49] punky: hirens is listed as one of liveboot images it can handle [17:49] Ferazel, remove the unused kernels first. [17:49] Kion: you are not getting any new release of libreoffice via apt/oficial repositories anyways [17:49] johannesbodannes, ya. 10.04-lucid, 10.10 is maverick [17:49] punky: its listed under "other non-linux based sofware" [17:50] unless u wanna jump from 10.04 to 13.04 :D [17:50] Er, that is quite a significant jump. Is that practical? [17:50] ima do that. from karmic to raring. lol [17:50] xangua: Good point, although we get it every 6 months at least with the new ubuntu versions. === root is now known as Guest83850 [17:51] Ferazel: http://www.mariusv.com/boot-is-full/ seems to descrive how to do it [17:51] Hey folks. I currently run all of my routing, dhcp, and dns via one box for a network with ~70 devices. Load is not even a slight issue, but redundancy is... if the box goes down pretty much everything on the network goes with it. Setting up a second failover router is a definite possibility, but is there a preferred way to provide these services using separate boxes or dedicated solutions? [17:51] The problem I'm facing is that I'm trying to compile certain things on my server that won't compile becaue the libraries ubuntu offers at 10.04 are so lamentably out of date [17:51] Yes! [17:52] it happen. :) === Agent is now known as Guest56269 [17:52] johannesbodannes: 10.04 was released in 2010 [17:52] Stop asking me questions [17:52] Hello Govnah!!!!

[18:00] but dhcp is one of the first things I want up and running on a cold boot of the rack [18:00] and esxi takes effing forever to boot [18:00] skp1: with the software center, synaptic, apt, however you want [18:01] TechSmurf, you shutdown your servers?

[18:04] bazhang, for nvidia gtx 560 [18:04] hmm... vm hot spare would be a good option! [18:04] canihojr, probably nvidia-current then from the software center [18:05] bazhang, i dont have software center, only synaptic, im using ubuntu gnome remix, and i dont look "hardware drivers".... ty, i try this packet [18:06] canihojr, should be the same package name [18:06] should all boot home and / logical partitions? I have 2 windows primaries now, I am dual booting [18:06] TechSmurf, but def seperate routing, dhcp/dns and have a 2nd dns [18:07] fruitFly: doesn't matter [18:07] is there a way to enable a more verbose logging whilst trying to do a kickstart/preseed build? [18:07] there's either a bug report about sometihing being broken, or a bug report at the end of this [18:07] or a blog [18:07] UEFI removed the limit of 4 primary partitions, right?

I have 4GB of Ram might upgrade but might not, I was thinking 4-8? [18:12] fruitFly: if you hibernate you need swap >= RAM [18:12] I was told I should put / on a primary partition... why? Why not just make everything logical? [18:12] xangua: im getting this output when i try to purge libreoffice [18:12] fruitFly: ask the one who told you. it doesn't matter primary vs logical [18:12] http://pastebin.com/2bvjZ3cA\ [18:13] beowulf2: fmit is one. apt-cache search tune instrument seems to bring up a bunch. === that1guy is now known as winchester [18:13] Once Again skp1 http://www.webupd8.org/2013/02/libreoffice-40-available-for-download.html [18:14] skp1: The command suggested is "sudo apt-get purge libreoffice*" [18:15] DaemonicApathy: http://pastebin.com/2bvjZ3cA [18:15] ...

[18:17] #debian osu [18:17] i did use chown user:group /folder/folder [18:18] how to remove this now [18:18] Change to a different owner. === mpmc is now known as mpmc|Away [18:18] osu: this is #ubuntu, you want #debian [18:18] faflatas, in ubuntu? [18:18] skp1: because you did not uninstall it and neither are reading the link for the instructions or reading what DaemonicApathy has been told you to fix it for 10 minutes [18:18] osu: chown otheruser:othergroup folder [18:18] ubuntu is based on debian and i use ubuntu [18:18] :) [18:18] !debian | osu [18:18] osu: Ubuntu and Debian are closely related.

[18:20] gray--: Such as? [18:20] Someone told me / should be a primary partition? WHY?! is that necessary? I have 2 primary windows already? [18:20] fruitFly: ask the one who told you. it doesn't matter primary vs logical [18:20] hey [18:20] xangua: synaptic says the old versions are all uninstalled [18:20] yea i got it how to do it thanks again [18:20] fruitFly: It can be either Primary or Extended. Extended wouldn't make sense. [18:20] gray--: https://wiki.ubuntu.com/IRC/ChannelList [18:20] kostkon : lubuntu - alsa [18:20] DaemonicApathy: i have an issue which no-one seems to be able to comment on. i mean, there's no obligation to help of course, just a bit frustrated having spent about 10 hours on this issue :) [18:20] faflatas, :| [18:21] Is there a way to force apt to replace all packages from a PPA with versions in my current repos even if it thinks the versions from the removed ppa are newer? [18:21] Pici: thank you [18:21] disharmonic: you want to remove a ppa and the packages provided¿ [18:22] DaemonicApathy: (and wondering if there's another place that i might be able to throw my problem at) [18:22] xangua, yes [18:23] gray--: I didn't notice you were already asking about your issue. I know literally nothing about kickstart/preseed builds... [18:23] !ppa-purge | disharmonic [18:23] disharmonic: To disable a PPA from your sources and revert your packages back to default Ubuntu packages, install ppa-purge and use the command: « sudo ppa-purge ppa:/ » – For more information, see http://www.webupd8.org/2009/12/remove-ppa-repositories-via-command.html [18:23] DaemonicApathy: llutz can you only have 1 extended? I have 2 primaries so does that mean I should create a a primary root and make the rest of the space extended and make the rest logical partitions inside of that? [18:23] DaemonicApathy: no probs, thanks anyhow, it seems to be documented in a fairly poor way. I've never contributed back, perhaps this is a subject i can get involved in [18:23] fruitFly: 1 extended (special kind of primary) which can hold lots of logical drives [18:24] xangua, cheers [18:24] DaemonicApathy: (once my problem is solved, that is) [18:25] fruitFly: just go and create logical drives for all linux-partitions, it doesn't matter, linux doesn't care about primary/logical. [18:26] llutz: can I create an extended and still leave free space? [18:26] in something like http://3.bp.blogspot.com/-pst9rYL2cQI/TblLGS_ja3I/AAAAAAAAAyI/BJznH2Rxi_U/s1600/Screenshot-4.png , what is the name for the icon area on the left and the menus on top?

[18:26] they're not appearing for me, and I'm trying to google for why :/ [18:26] fruitFly: yu can but its not recommended to do. [18:27] djmitche: The launcher panel and app panel, respectively. [18:27] what's the syntax for piping the output of dpkg --remove libreoffice* through less or more? [18:27] thanks! [18:27] where are the Unity launcher icons located? [18:27] llutz: why? [18:27] or where are they defined? [18:28] fruitFly: if you later create a primary in the free space (you cannot create a 2nd extended there), some systems might be confused because partitions are nicht in the right order (secter->partition.nr) [18:28] are not* [18:28] can anyone help with a system not booting up properly ? [18:29] hey guys - how do i check the ports that are currently being used on my computer? [18:29] fruitFly: and it makes no sense not to use the full diskspace for an extended [18:29] mib_mib: netstat -tan [18:29] belgianguy: Iirc, they are normally in /usr/share/applications === Adrien_ is now known as Guest26665 [18:29] ah, thanks DaemonicApathy ! [18:30] can anyone help with a system not booting up properly ? (Willing to pay for support) [18:30] llutz: I have 230GB free space and 2 primary windows partitions... make 1 extended with the rest but should I leave space withing the extended incase I want to do something else... what could I do? [18:30] Nedz, please provide more details. [18:30] I have an Ubuntu 12.04 on a XenCenter [18:31] it's booting up [18:31] but when it does [18:31] sometimes it checks for errors [18:31] on the drive [18:31] what's the syntax for piping the output of dpkg --remove libreoffice* through less or more? [18:31] !enter [18:31] Please try to keep your questions/responses on one line. Don't use the "Enter" key as punctuation! [18:31] Put as much as you can on one line please, Nedz. [18:31] fruitFly: just create the extended with logical drives for all linux-partitions, you don't need to use the full exteded-space, just leave some empty for future-use [18:31] llutz: i only have 230gb... wut could I do if I left maybe 30GB? === Guest26665 is now known as Answers [18:32] and then it won't start up. so I would have to restart a couple of times. after a few restarts I will get the proper gui desktop [18:32] Anyway Nedz, you should be able to skip a disk check if you believe it's alright. [18:32] fruitFly: i don't know your usage, why do you think you'll need some free space at all? [18:32] llutz: maybe if I wanna install a diff distro? [18:32] yes, I tried that as well , but the thing is . it will do it all over again the next time I will restart the computer. [18:32] <_raven_> hi [18:32] <_raven_> do you know about any commandline mastering tool which is able to receive and transmit streams from/to an icecast server? [18:32] llutz: I guess i dnt need free space then [18:33] fruitFly: then keep some space in reserve [18:33] sometimes will just boot into shell. and then I'll have to restart a couple of times to get the gui. [18:33] Nedz, you can use this thread to check what frequency your fsck is set to: http://ubuntuforums.org/showthread.php?t=300477 [18:34] llutz: can i seriously use another distro with 30GB? can I point it to my /home etc? I dnt have that much space and am trying to get an idea if it makes sense to elave any at all... I'm thinking not] [18:34] no. it tries to boot and then it says it cannot mount /tmp so I wait but nothing happens. [18:34] Nedz, what does "ls -l /forcefsck" produce [18:34] does the x-updates ppa have s3tc and floating point textures enabled or do i need edgers for that? [18:34] only reboot until it actually works solves this. [18:35] Nedz maybe check for messages in "dmesg"? [18:36] Nedz: you wait... how much ? [18:36] fruitFly: it may be handy to have a spare 25-30GB partition for upgrade-installations/backup or testing purposes, but if you don't have the space or aren't sure about what you really want... just forget it [18:36] argh, LibreOffice 4.0 now has different icons in the Dash than in the Launcher [18:37] the Dash ones are the newer ones, I'd like to have those in the launcher as well, what files would I need to edit? [18:37] belgianguy: did you remove the previous libreoffice before installing 4¿ did you restart your user session¿ [18:37] llutz: upgrade like upgrading the distro? [18:38] llutz: when there is a new release? [18:38] xangua: I did remove it, but I don't think I logged off yet [18:38] fruitFly: parallel installation of a new version before you might break your existing install [18:39] belgianguy: or jsut remove the icons from the launcher, open the dash and drag the launchers from there [18:39] llutz: what do you mean by upgrade, parallel install? creating a new /boot? === Guest39123 is now known as DaZ [18:40] llutz: I'm a noob === DaZ is now known as Guest61999 [18:40] One question: On Xfce, where should I add the "setxkblayout -option compose:menu" line?

[18:41] *setxkbmap [18:41] xangua: the dragging works, but the icon changes to the old version :/ [18:41] fruitFly: tbh, just install your stuff and get some experience. let some 30GB free inside the extended, maybe you use it some day. === daniel is now known as Guest14681 [18:42] belgianguy: no idea then, sorry [18:42] does the x-updates ppa have s3tc and floating point textures enabled for Intel GPUs or do i need edgers for that? [18:42] how do i pipe the output of dplg --remove through more or less? [18:43] llutz: so... 1GB /boot 8GB swap 20GB / and 190GB /home........all logicals in my extended [18:43] llutz: ? [18:43] fruitFly: you don't need a /boot [18:44] llutz: can't it be useful for somethings as well? how cold it hurt to make a /boot? === gp is now known as Guest68105 [18:44] skp1, maybe something similar to "dpkg --remove WhatEva 2>&1 | grep whateva" [18:45] here is the dmesg [18:45] fruitFly: it doesn't hurt, it just has no benefits in most cases [18:45] http://pastebin.com/xZuJaw0z [18:45] fruitFly: why do you think its usefull for you? [18:45] is it possible to boot the ubuntu 12.04 installer with an option to disable nouveau === Kneferilis is now known as Guest65758 [18:46] llutz: in case i wanna install a custom kernel... idk... maybe it could come in handy? [18:46] fruitFly: no need for sep /boot just for custom kernel [18:47] is there anyway to remopve multiple packages with dpkg without specifying each package? [18:47] fruitFly: don't make too complex, keep it simple, get fun [18:48] Nedz, something aroind 3.67 is causing problems "EXT4-fs (xvdb1): INFO: recovery required on readonly filesystem" [18:48] llutz: so r u saying NO NEED for a /boot.... NONE?!... NOT USEFUL AT ALL?!?!?! [18:48] fruitFly: no [18:48] fruitFly: i said: it just has no benefits in most cases [18:48] fruitFly: and stop caps [18:48] ok so add the boot to /home?

[18:48] whatever [18:49] raptr, in terminal: glxinfo | grep vendor [18:49] llutz: how do I make an extended? [18:49] ok [18:50] fruitFly: you stretch it [18:50] Nedz, seems to be from previous restart then it says "[ 3.704273] EXT4-fs (xvdb1): recovery complete" [18:50] raptr, or in your system preferences, select the about the system option [18:50] fruitFly: gparted [18:51] Nedz, whats the content of /etc/fstab ? [18:51] ksotkon: i was thinking more in the line of a benchmark utility. [18:52] Would you guys consider the x-edgers ppa suitable for daily use?

[19:00] syntroPi- I can comment out the smb to ruleout it causes problems . this started after an upgrade from a previous version. it worked just fine before. [19:00] Nedz, since your /tmp has no extra mount it lives on root disk i think. /tmp will be cleared at bootup everytime.

As long as you're not in danger of filling up your disk in a single day you could always manage it with logrotate, but it seems obvious to me that the solution is to fix whatever is generating the errors.

[20:55] silvereye - 192.168.2.25 is the music player 192.168.2.88 is the laptop. [20:55] I don't know. It might be simpler to set it back to the way it was so that the music player is ok, and then fix the wifi situation [20:56] tim__: is the wireless music player, playing music from your laptop? [20:57] daftykins - no it's designed to connect wirelessly to my router and play Pandora or other internet stations.

However, the Reading package lists step is slower than a bull without legs stuck in glue. Is there a fix around anyone would like to share? :) [21:32] bizhan_, yes but the filesystem is not production ready [21:32] Or perhaps I should ask that which Java should I install? =) [21:32] the_drow: but can you run ubuntu at safe mode and log as console with root user? or did you delete the root's password [21:32] escott_: thanks for your replay, will you know in what time frame it may be ready? Thx [21:33] bizhan_, hard to say. i would wait for some substantial improvement in fsync performance [21:34] the_drow: if you cant log with root, i could run the option recovery mode in grub, then choose the option root (Drop to root shell prompt), then type: mount -o rw,remount /, and then try passwd [21:35] and type a new password [21:36] hey guys im writing a script to capture the output of the current value of xgamma [21:36] but i cant get it [21:36] to store in a variable [21:36] how are you trying to capture? [21:37] i tried [21:37] xgamma echo $? [21:37] and it prints out 0 [21:37] which is the return value [21:37] and [21:37] xg=$(xgamma) echo $xg [21:38] oh, I thought you meant you were trying to capture the screen output for some xgamma value [21:38] no just the current value [21:38] it prints on the console but i cant get the string in a variable programmaticaly [21:39] xg=$(xgamma) echo $xg just store nothing in the variable [21:39] it should say what xgamma value is being used, in your xorg.0.log file, but you'll probably need to grep for it [21:40] silvereye: it prints out the value on console if you just enter xgamma [21:40] I am using Google Chrome and there I need Java for identifying myself to my webbank. Any good hints on which package to install? [21:40] but doesnt store it in the variable as program output [21:40] so "xgamma > file.dat" doesn't work? [21:41] nope [21:41] thats the weird part [21:41] it clearly prints smtn on the console [21:41] but its not the output nor the return value [21:41] it prints: -> Red 0.600, Green 0.600, Blue 0.600 === tjbiddle_ is now known as tjbiddle [21:42] what does -> mean ? stderr? [21:43] " > file.dat" would send std output to file.dat [21:43] I have read what the security issues are with Java but I desperately need it for banking/identifying myself as me for a job application. [21:43] Is there a way to use the 'scale' effect (Super+W) on a separate type of application only? (such as terminal windows only)? [21:44] sliva, try: xg=$(xgamma 2>&1) [21:44] DrGrov: It is only the browser propretary java client [21:45] Apes: tnx that got it :) [21:45] it was stderr after all [21:45] labsin: Ah okay. I have some issues getting past the "initializing Java" when I am trying to sign in. I freeze somehow. [21:45] but to print the current value via stderr...pretty weird [21:45] labsin: What should I actually do to get it running? [21:45] Apes: that you very much [21:45] sliva: You're welcome [21:45] DrGrov: http://www.duinsoft.nl/packages.php?t=en oracle java installation, use the right side for a repo and auto updates) [21:45] silvereye: thank you very much for your help and time as well! [21:45] DrGrow The one for Linux is icedtea [21:46] you are welcome [21:46] STMelon: Looking into it now. [21:47] STMelon: So that will provide me Java and further updates as well? [21:47] sliva: you could try redirecting the output filtering out stderr with 2>/dev/null [21:48] histo: but wouldnt that ignore the output...im actually interested in that value [21:48] it's prolly just a problem bug [21:48] STMelon: Does it matter where in /etc/apt/sources.list I put it? [21:48] DrGrow There is however also the Java-applet from oracle themself that come with the jdk [21:49] my lithuanian vps support is awesome [21:49] labsin: Ah okay. If I follow what STMelon wrote I should be good. I could remove it easily afterwards, yes+ [21:49] The source and updates that is? [21:50] just had the weirdest system warning message - "microuptime() went backwards" [21:50] sliva: if you jsut want to redirect stdout? [21:50] sliva: or you want stderr also? [21:50] ok I have ubuntu core installed, I can't use ping as it's not installed yet [21:51] not sure if I have an internet connection [21:51] any other way of telling? [21:51] guys I am trying to install java sdk in ubuntu 12.0 and I just fail, anybody can give me a hand? [21:51] histo: i want to store it in the variable and got it already [21:51] isn't java insecure now [21:51] ninny: You have to have ping or trace or some sort of ip tools installed [21:51] f java [21:52] Apes solution worked [21:52] yea you can, and unlike openjdk, it wont install opnejdk7 when you remove openjdk6 [21:52] sliva: oh okay sorry [21:52] no trace [21:52] no ping [21:52] histo: no problem [21:52] ninny: You could use telnet, eg telnet www.google.com 80 [21:52] histo: thank you very much for your help as well [21:52] * root passes out the popcorn [21:52] personally, i dont have java installed, it's to insecure. if a website requires java, i dont use it [21:52] STMelon: Should I also install the suggested packages? [21:52] no telnet :) [21:52] no apt-get [21:52] ninny: How exactly did you install this system? [21:52] silvereye, your clock went backwards [21:52] haha [21:52] it's a cubox [21:52] ubuntu core install [21:52] ninny: Please don't flood; use http://paste.ubuntu.com to paste; don't use Enter as punctuation. [21:53] yea [21:53] STMelon: Okay :) I just need it for a brief moment for a work application so I am identified. [21:53] so it's literally the bare bones of ubuntu [21:53] DrGrov: Installing icedtea is the securest [21:53] it's the Open Variant of the java-web-applet [21:53] ninny: Write a c program that opens a socket and connects to google's website. [21:53] i would question your bank why they need java, when half if not the whole world knows how insecure it is .... [21:53] Sorry, having some issues following the discussion without highlighting my name [21:53] or at least bring it to their attention [21:54] escott_ : I guess so, but this is the first time that's ever happened. Is it a sign of hardware problems? [21:54] haha sory DrGrov [21:54] ninny: Core install has apt and pint [21:54] ninny: ping [21:54] DrGrov: sudo apt-get install icedtea-plugin [21:54] histo: mine doesn't seem too [21:54] I need java to do developing so I don't care about security^^ I did download the .tar.gz here: http://www.oracle.com/technetwork/java/javase/downloads/index.html [21:54] silvereye, not really. [21:54] STMelon: Yeah, I will actually give them a call and say it is a huge vulnerability. I only use the webbased text version without Java when I do banking. But in this case it is the work provider, the government, that require some type of identification. [21:54] but now I don't have any idea how to install it :D [21:54] ninny: Try /sbin/ping [21:54] STMelon: No worries :) [21:54] agh, thanks apes [21:55] ninny: Again how did you install? So you path is jacked up [21:55] Okay, then I go and remove the additional repository I just put in [21:55] silvereye, clocks drift. not a big deal unless you are running a high frequency trading shop. just make sure ntp is installed [21:55] DrGrov: and yes it will update [21:55] histo: /sbin just isn't in the path by default [21:55] DrGrov: remove the repo and type in terminal sudo update-sun-jre -v remove [21:56] STMelon: Sure, will do. How about the GPG key I added to confirm the repo? [21:56] also remove the gpg key DrGrov [21:56] STMelon: So I should go with the icdeatea-plugin for now as labsin suggests and then after remove it? [21:57] no [21:57] use the oracle one that will install with the repo [21:57] Apes: nah nothing of use there either [21:57] you will fight openjdk6 and 7 when you try to remove either or [21:57] I even get a black screen when booting to a live cd [21:57] how do people address dns caching in your ubuntu servers [21:57] remove openjdk6, it install openjdk7 [21:57] ninny: Sounds like your install is hosed. [21:57] I'll jump back to cubox and see if there's any help there as this is a bit out of the scope of general ubuntu use, I understand that. [21:57] remove openjdk7 it installs openjdk6 [21:57] You could try /usr/sbin/ping, but I doubt it's there [21:58] the openjdk doesn't have any security issues on 7. Only compability [21:58] STMelon: So I accidentally removed the right repo I just added? Haha =) [21:58] apes: nah just user add etc [21:58] STMelon: Well, I put back the repo again then :) [21:59] hello, can anyone help with recovery of raid partition using ubuntu? I can't mount it [21:59] And OpenJDK doesn't include a web-applet or om i wrong? [21:59] labsin: http://ubuntuforums.org/showthread.php?t=2024003 [22:00] should do research abit, if one has the exploit so will openjdk [22:00] is there any usable utility (something like wicd) for usb mobile broadband modem, or do I need to install network-manager (along with gnome)? [22:00] DrGrov: just follow that link i gave you, should install pretty easy [22:00] DrGrov: and then to remove it is just as easy [22:01] STMelon: Sure, will do. I asked for the GPG key again but it froze. I hope it has it. [22:01] DrGrov: sudo tp-get update, it should give a warning if the key is not there [22:01] apt* [22:02] STMelon: it seems the 7 is closer to the closed source than 6. [22:02] STMelon: It worked well. It had the key already the first time I added the repo and accidentally deleted the repo even before I used it haha =) [22:03] hey, is there an audio equalizer for ubuntu? can't find one [22:03] STMelon: It keeps suggesting packages for me now when I want to install update-sun-jre. Should I take them from Synaptic instead than a terminal? [22:03] labsin: the point being openjdk6 had/has vulnerabilities as well, since it is now openjdk7, blackhats concentrate on oracle/openjdk 7 .. but 6 .. (java is java) still is inseucre [22:03] i always used the terminal [22:04] STMelon: Ok, I will do it as well. [22:04] right down or screenshoot, the packages it installs [22:04] solars pulse has a system wide eq [22:04] sidney_, how can I access it? [22:04] DrGrov: thats what i did, and then went back in synaptic after i removed .. to see if they wrre removed as well [22:05] STMelon: It is installing, huge load of text :) [22:05] yip lol [22:05] STMelon: Okay, got it. Now I shall test it to see whether it works. === ErtanERBEK is now known as Guest57736 [22:06] since oracle java is no longer a mainstream repo for linux, that link is the from a good source for the oracle version of java, for linux [22:06] solars, it has to be installed [22:06] http://www.webupd8.org/2011/04/system-wide-pulseaudio-equalizer.html [22:06] although I do not even have java installed.. rather be safe than sorry [22:06] STMelon: Okay, I will just keep it then until I have it fixed and then quickly remove it. [22:07] chances of getting exploited, well might be slim, also depends on the sites you visit, and if so, make sure you trust those sites [22:08] could an update cause ubuntu to boot to a black screen even the live cd? [22:09] even though linux has few viruses out there, it is not bullet proof, i run bitdefender for unices, rkhunter, and chkrootkit [22:09] browser: i usually have no script [22:10] STMelon: Java worked out well now. Now it is just the question why it keeps taking so long for me to actually get into my government's database where I apply for the position. [22:10] sidney_ ubuntu drivers do write to the hardware, so if the update had a malfunctioning driver it could corrupt your machine nvram making dutre boot difficult [22:11] sidney_ I meant future booting difficult === tjbiddle_ is now known as tjbiddle [22:12] STMelon: It worked, just acting a bit sluggish haha [22:12] silvereye I'm not sure if it was an update or my nephew did something while I was away [22:12] lol [22:12] hi [22:12] could be server load to the website your connecting to [22:12] even the 12.04 live cd fails to boot [22:12] maybe a peak moment DrGrov [22:13] ubuntu 11.1 was able to permanently kill the harddrive I tried to install it to [22:13] ubuntu 11.1 was able to permanently kill the harddrive I tried to install it to11.10 [22:13] 11.10 not 11.1 === e-diablo_ is now known as Ertan [22:15] I have nfs exports from my server that recently stopped working (ubuntu 12.04). Has there been a change in the past few weeks that might be likely culprit? [22:16] silvereye: ubuntu doesn't kill hard drives [22:16] Seven_Six_Two: working here. [22:17] hi does any on have a 8350 fx or fx 8cpu? I think Ubuntu is using my CPU incorrectly. [22:17] <_goxxsy_> !ping me [22:18] ? [22:18] nova_: why would you think that? [22:18] interesting. I haven't mounted on my other computers, but they're on a different subnet than the boxee (what I'm trying to mount exports on) [22:18] hello to all, and I am having a problem after an upgrade on 12.04, I have lost my microphone for about the zillionth time and cannot seem to find out where it went or the drivers etc.... Can someone give me a series of instructions to diag the problem and affect the repairs in the terminal.. [22:19] Seven_Six_Two: NFS appears to be workign here. [22:19] maheanuu: Drivers for a microphone? [22:19] Compering it to windows 8 witch i should not do ( -_- ) performance is a bit different ? [22:19] maheanuu: Is your sound working otherwise?

For a complete list of channels in other languages, please visit https://wiki.ubuntu.com/IRC/ChannelList [22:20] nova_, sounds subjective [22:20] histo, Yes it is but no mike for Ubuntu and it was working absolutely wunnerful before the upgrade [22:20] histo, you don't happen to be using a boxee box too do you? (alliteration +10!) [22:20] maheanuu: check and see if it's muted. [22:21] Seven_Six_Two: Nope. [22:21] histo,I did and it isn't [22:21] maheanuu : is this a usb microphone? or one plugged into an audio port on a sound card? [22:21] silvereye, i am using a Toshiba Satellite Notebook [22:22] following problem: /usr/bin/java: cannot execute binary file [22:22] any ideas?

[22:23] Silvereye, the mike is an integral part of the computer [22:23] slt [22:23] tgm4883 well that could be it ^^, how would I get a 32-bit versions of java? [22:23] any one have an idea of how a 8-core CPU is differing in performance on Ubuntu [22:24] UNGNightmare, where did you get java to begin with? [22:24] maheanuu : integral or not, it's either connected by usb internally or connected to a sound card internally, and it's important to know which for trying to correct the problem [22:24] tgm4883: http://askubuntu.com/questions/55848/how-do-i-install-oracle-java-jdk-7 [22:24] tgm4883: lol fail mom [22:24] silvereye, just ran lsusb and it aint there [22:24] nova_, you shouldnt notice any difference in performance unless you are using some very heavy multithreaded software (which i doubt if you dont know if you do) [22:24] I know that it isn't a USB mic [22:24] UNGNightmare, which one did you download, i586 or x64? [22:25] tgm4883: http://www.oracle.com/technetwork/java/javase/downloads/jdk7-downloads-1880260.html [22:25] UNGNightmare, that is a URL to a webpage, not a download [22:25] tgm4883: took the -x64.tar.gz ... [22:25] UNGNightmare, what is the output of 'uname -a' [22:25] on the command line [22:25] silvereye, it isn't listed hang on I will do a cut and paste [22:26] maheanuu, try "alsamixer" [22:26] maheanuu : if you assume that it's internally connected to the laptop's sound card, then using "alsamixer" might let you activate it [22:26] tgm4883: time and i686 [22:26] UNGNightmare, bammo, 64-bit java on 32-bit Ubuntu === linuxthefish is now known as linuxthefish` [22:26] UNGNightmare, you need to download the x86 version === Teufelchen_ is now known as Teufelchen [22:27] tgm4883 lol I thought that would be even higher -.- [22:27] s3r3nit7 , its kind of odd in how it uses all CPU cores [22:27] eg, jdk-7u13-linux-i586.tar.gz [22:27] tgm4883: thank you very much!

[22:33] hey guys, i have my computer hooked to my large tv. the problem is the command line text is very small, due to the high resolution. How can i make the text bigger and easier to read from a distance? also, i have no gui, this is ubuntu 12.04 server. [22:33] maheanuu : if this happened on an update, then probably the latest cm106 is broken [22:34] latest cm106 driver [22:35] silvereye, as I said, the system was fine until I came back from an upgrade and tried to call my nephew in France on Skype when I had just finished talking to him before the upgrade [22:35] hi is the any known issues with ruining Apache2 server on Ubuntu desktop ?

How can i make the text bigger and easier to read from a distance? also, i have no gui, this is ubuntu 12.04 server.

[22:54] UNGNightmare, what is the output of 'ls -l /usr/lib/jvm/jdk1.7.0/bin/java' [22:55] I have a sound problem, I did an upgrade and lost my mic last night and nothing I have done can bring it back [22:55] I need help. Make is not working [22:55] tgm4883: /usr/lib/jvm/jdk1.7.0/bin/java [22:55] I'm getting the modpost not found error [22:56] I am running django on my ubuntu VM, when i run my dev server, i want to access it from another computer, in the same network, how do i do it? [22:56] maheanuu, if you're looking for support this is it, if you're looking for off topic talk #ubuntu-offtopic, and if you're looking for developers, try #ubuntu-discuss [22:56] wbf: you'd be better off with a programming language channel than here for answering that. [22:56] topper4125: bit late. [22:56] Anyone here willing to help out with a major app project for Ubuntu? [22:56] maheanuu, did you search in dmesg for it? [22:56] oops [22:56] daftykins: which channel? [22:57] UNGNightmare, ok, what about when you run 'sudo update-alternatives --install "/usr/bin/java" "java" "/usr/lib/jvm/jdk1.7.0/bin/java" 1' [22:57] err [22:57] sudo update-alternatives --install "/usr/bin/java" "java" "/usr/lib/jvm/jdk1.7.0/bin/java" 1 [22:57] syntroPi : it was a dm106 usb sound device builtin to their laptop [22:57] syntroPi: not sure about dmesg will go to terminal and see what that has to offer [22:57] my screen size stayed the same all through the boot. the link provided didnt change anything. I keep searching for 'resolution' and 'text size' but the result arent very good. ideas on other keywords? [22:57] syntroPi : it was a cm106 usb sound device builtin to their laptop [22:57] wbf: i have no idea on channels for languages, but i don't know what language the program you're compiling is in either - C at a guess [22:57] yes [22:57] hey, how can i found out how php sends email from my ubuntu server? [22:57] in my /etc/rc.local i have su -c root startx but its not logging me in automatically... why is that? [22:58] daftykins: it's the linux KERNEL. [22:58] tgm4883: no message or error after that [22:58] What's a Application/Package related channel? [22:58] maheanuu, silvereye but maybe "dmesg" complaints about something related to that cm106 usb sound card [22:58] wbf: try a kernel channel then [22:58] UNGNightmare, ok, you said something was wrong when you did 'sudo update-alternatives --config java' right? what was wrong? [22:59] wbf: actually this may be of use: https://help.ubuntu.com/community/Kernel/Compile [22:59] tgm4883: it says: THere is only one alternative in link group java (providing /usr/bin/java) : /usr/lib/jvm/jdk1.7.0/bin/java; Nothing to configure. [22:59] syntroPi:I have the dmesg readout and it is a nightmare, now all I have to do is figure it out.... [23:00] maheanuu, can you paste the output from your dmesg in http://paste.ubuntu.com/ and give the link here? [23:00] UNGNightmare, out of curiosity, what happens if you do '/usr/lib/jvm/jdk1.7.0/bin/java -version' [23:01] tgm4883: cannot execute binary file ^^ [23:01] hi guy [23:01] what can i install to test my 3d? [23:02] lunatic^: glxgears [23:02] lunatic^, what do you want to test? [23:02] just see my drivers working, fps, etc [23:02] tgm4883: could there be still somthing 64-bit left? ^^ [23:02] glxinfo | grep direct [23:02] lunatic^, performance or existence [23:02] UNGNightmare, ok, how about 'file /usr/lib/jvm/jdk1.7.0/bin/java' [23:03] existence i suppose [23:03] isn't there a open source game on the repo :) [23:03] tgm4883: EFL 64-bit LSB executable D: [23:04] UNGNightmare, ok, so at least we know it's the wrong one :) [23:04] http://packages.ubuntu.com/quantal/games/ [23:04] tgm4883: how do I get rid of it now? ^^ [23:04] UNGNightmare, what about 'ls -l /etc/alternatives/java' [23:04] lunatic^, there are various games, but depending upon your cpu you could run some with software rendering and not be entirely sure what you are running [23:05] it's a gaming pc [23:05] tgm4883: /etc/alternatives/java -> /usr/lib/jvm/jdk1.7.0/bin/java [23:05] UNGNightmare, perfect [23:05] UNGNightmare, so should be easy enough to get rid of [23:05] UNGNightmare, Did you do all the unzipping from your Download dir? === ericab is now known as ericab_away [23:06] home dir [23:06] tgm4883: home dir [23:06] id go with those webpud8 repo since it will update it aswell (horrible sec on java) [23:06] UNGNightmare, ok, do you still have java stuff in your home dir? [23:06] tgm4883: yes [23:07] UNGNightmare, any java directories or just files? [23:07] syntroPi: here is part of it do you need it all? http://paste.ubuntu.com/1622526/ [23:08] tgm4883: lol nah that files are gone, should I unzip again? [23:08] UNGNightmare, not yet [23:08] tgm4883: there is just the .tar.gz left [23:08] UNGNightmare, just one? [23:08] maheanuu, yes the whole output of dmesg: "dmesg > /tmp/dmesg" "gedit /tmp/dmesg" copy&paste and provide link [23:08] UNGNightmare, what is the filename of that one? [23:08] can someone give me a precompiled modpost? [23:08] because the LFS people say "If it's ubuntu we don't support it." [23:09] syntroPi: Here it is http://paste.ubuntu.com/1622532/ [23:09] tgm4883: jdk-7u13-linux-i586.tar.gz [23:09] thats not all [23:09] UNGNightmare, ok, unzip that one, but don't move the directory yet [23:09] maheanuu, starts with [0000] [23:10] UNGNightmare, first do 'sudo rm -rf /usr/lib/jvm/jdk1.7.0' [23:10] UNGNightmare, that will delete the 64-bit version of java you have installed [23:11] hello [23:11] can someone give me some assisitance? I am setting up my first IRC server but having problems connecting my client to my server [23:11] tgm4883: all done :) [23:12] UNGNightmare, ok, so now go though that guide starting with the 'sudo mv' command === JoFo_ is now known as JoFo [23:12] does running a lot of SSH sessions use a lot of CPU/ram ? [23:12] Cool1: your best bet is to ask for support in a channel for the IRC server you're using, just because it's Ubuntu doesn't exactly relate... [23:12] okay thanks! [23:12] datsmoida: use 'top' to find out [23:13] Hello. How can I uniquely identify a physical hard drive that is a part of a RAID1 array in ubuntu? blkid gives the same 'universaliy unique' identifier for the two mirrored partitons. [23:13] i am using top and my CPU is at like 98"% [23:13] even though i just tripled my ram [23:13] but i do have like 20 SSH sessions going [23:13] maheanuu, "dmesg > /tmp/dmesg" "gedit /tmp/dmesg" copy&paste and provide link [23:13] datsmoida: what process does top show using the cpu? [23:14] top - 15:14:04 up 2:39, 22 users, load average: 0 [23:14] Tasks: 104 total, 1 running, 103 sleeping, 0 st [23:14] Cpu(s): 0.3%us, 0.0%sy, 0.0%ni, 99.5%id, 0.0%wa [23:14] Mem: 759304k total, 389168k used, 370136k fr [23:14] Swap: 1048572k total, 0k used, 1048572k fr [23:14] 99.5% ?

Now how to remove this Java? :) [23:15] jrib - thx [23:15] tgm4883: sudo update-alternatives --config still says the same as before but java -version is working so I think everything is fine? [23:15] Does anyone know if there is major difference between the LibreOffice we can find on the ubuntu repo and the .deb that we can download on libreOffice.org? [23:15] UNGNightmare, yep sounds good :) [23:16] DrGrov: sudo update-sun-jre -v remove [23:16] STMelon: PM'ed you. [23:16] tgm4883 you are todays hero! thank you! [23:17] UNGNightmare, yw [23:20] is it possible to run call of duty black ops + steam under 12.10? [23:20] and if so, how does it play? [23:20] syntroPi: I hope this is what you want http://paste.ubuntu.com/1622550/ [23:20] guideX, no, it might be possible under Wine [23:20] in my /etc/rc.local i have su -c root startx but its not logging me in automatically... why is that? [23:20] guideX, but I'm assuming you are asking about the steam linux client [23:20] sometimes my ssh service seems slow even though I'm ssh-ing over local network, why? [23:21] paws-: that's an awful idea [23:21] ShapeShifter499, high server load? [23:21] jrib: i need it.. [23:21] paws-: why? [23:21] its my own personal server [23:21] noting barely runs on it [23:22] ShapeShifter499: you mean you type and it's slow to show up? [23:22] yes [23:22] ShapeShifter499: can be an issue on the client if you're downloading/uploading a lot [23:22] jrib: couze its a server and i am tired of always logging in and typing password... and im the only one that has physical access to to it [23:22] jrib, yes [23:23] paws-, a ubuntu server? [23:23] ShapeShifter499: you could check out mosh maybe [23:23] yes tgm4883 [23:23] paws-, with a gui installed? [23:23] yes :) [23:23] paws-: what are you doing that requires so much password entry? [23:23] paws-, and I'm assuming you don't want the gui running all the time [23:24] jrib, mosh? [23:24] my question is why isnt the rc.local responding to that... [23:24] ShapeShifter499: http://mosh.mit.edu/ [23:24] paws-: because your syntax is wrong. And you are doing something not recommended at all. [23:24] paws-: How are you trying to login automatically? [23:24] i understand its not the smartest thing but quiet frankly security is not my issue [23:25] histo: when i boot the computer its in the terminal [23:25] paws-: I don't see why you can login as a regular user. If you need to do a series of tasks with sudo, just use "sudo -i" and you'll have a root shell [23:25] s/can/can't [23:25] paws-: Why don't you autologni your user and then startx . I can explain how i'm doing it on my box hooked to my tv [23:26] jrib, thanks I'll try that [23:27] what is ltsp? [23:27] paws-: In my /etc/inittab Change you rfirst tty to 1:2345:respawn:/bin/login -f paws tty1 /dev/tty1 2>&1 [23:27] mattwj2002, linux terminal server project [23:27] huh? [23:27] is that the server version? [23:27] mattwj2002, no. Why do you want to know [23:28] I was looking at some documentation and it mentioned it [23:28] paws-: then in your ~/.bash_profile You need to add a script that if x isn't running it will startx [23:28] mattwj2002, the server version is..... "ubuntu server" [23:28] https://help.ubuntu.com/community/UbuntuLTSP [23:29] paws-: Something like if [ -z "$DISPLAY" ] && [ $(tty) == /dev/tty1 ]; then startx fi [23:29] Would work [23:29] mattwj2002, yes, I know what LTSP is [23:29] so would you mind sharing? [23:29] anyone know of a virtual resolution tututorial? [23:30] How can I install libxml-sax-perl in precise? It conflicts with installed perl. [23:30] mattwj2002, do you know what a terminal server is? [23:30] yes [23:30] virtual resolution? as in? [23:30] mattwj2002, then LTSP is the project for a Linux Terminal Server [23:30] ok [23:30] mattwj2002, http://www.ltsp.org/ [23:31] paws-: http://www.debianadmin.com/how-to-auto-login-and-startx-without-a-display-manager-in-debian.html [23:31] histo: thanx i am doing what you told me... [23:31] thanks tgm4883 [23:31] paws-: I strongly urge you not to. [23:31] paws-: yeah no need for su [23:31] paws-: at least not as root. [23:32] mattwj2002, sorry, i've been working all day on getting a windows 7 VM updated :/ [23:32] jrib: Why he wants to auto login a user. [23:32] tgm4883: no worries...I just got done with a hard day's worth of work too [23:32] histo: he's trying to auto-login as root into X [23:32] I am a bit brain dead too [23:32] :) [23:32] jrib: Yeah, that's why I told him how to do it as a uer. [23:32] s/uer/user/ [23:33] I do have a simple question [23:33] mattwj2002, shoot [23:33] Anyone have an idea why an extension would load on the libreoffice from Ubuntu repo and fail when loading on LibreOffice installed from .deb?? [23:33] what is recommended for a server 12.04 or 12.10? [23:33] jrib, the system I'm ssh-ing into is acting as my wifi router, could bad dhcp settings cause issues? [23:33] mattwj2002, Depends on the usage [23:33] I'm getting the modpost not found error (yes asking here now due to LFS saying ubuntu isn't LFS. [23:33] good point [23:33] :) [23:33] mattwj2002, generally, I suggest 12.04, as it's supported longer [23:34] mattwj2002: I would use LTS which is 12.04 [23:34] right [23:34] histo: which is fine. Though 1) I would just use lightdm and 2) Does the /etc/inittab method work with upstart? [23:34] okay cool [23:34] mattwj2002, but there are cases to use 12.10, for instance, if the software you want to run isn't available/doesn't support 12.04 [23:34] jrib: He doesn't even have display maanger from the sound of it. Since it's a server install. [23:35] I just want to build a simple server [23:35] not even really production [23:35] histo: yet he has startx ;) [23:35] ShapeShifter499: I don't know [23:35] mattwj2002, if the hardware supports 12.04, I'd go 12.04 [23:35] thanks tgm4883 [23:35] :) [23:35] mattwj2002, that is what I do for our servers at work [23:36] 12.04 VMs [23:36] nice! [23:36] jrib: Upstart may be an issue. If so I would edit /etc/init/tty1.conf [23:36] for some odd reason Kompozer isn't in 12.10 repositories and no ppa, what's the alternative? [23:37] ubuntu is definitely nice and well documented [23:38] :) [23:39] otura: http://alternativeto.net/software/kompozer/ [23:39] mattwj2002: somethings are [23:39] true [23:39] otura, for info on why https://bugs.launchpad.net/ubuntu/+source/kompozer/+bug/1065547 [23:39] Ubuntu bug 1065547 in kompozer (Ubuntu) "Please remove kompozer from quantal" [Wishlist,Fix released] [23:39] better than a lot of OSes [23:39] :) [23:44] tgm4883: oh wow, I forgot how much developing for any distro sucks. 2 year old software doesn't work. worse than iOS. [23:44] otura, not entirely sure what you are getting at (Updating windows has made me tired today) [23:45] tgm4883: no sable ABI's anywhere except the POSIX standard itself [23:45] s/sable/stable [23:46] otura, sorry, I was under the impression that it was removed because nobody wants to maintain it anymore (for the last 2 years) === tjbiddle_ is now known as tjbiddle [23:47] otura, granted we're talking about Komposer, a WYSIWYG HTML editor, which from my experiencing dealing with web designers, they hate WYSIWYG HTML editors [23:47] hi, i'm looking for a calendar/task software. what do you recommend for it, especially looking good under 12.10 and unity? [23:49] I am setting up my first IRC server using ubuntu... I am undecided about which IRC to use any suggestions? [23:49] tgm4883: oh but ofcourse! because web designers hate it, surely everyone must hate it as well! or should! just as with debian stable, why would anyone want new software. that's insane! /s [23:49] asking again, i'm looking for a calendar/task software. what do you recommend for it, especially looking good under 12.10 and unity? [23:50] How to install steam on 10.04?? [23:50] marjinal1st: Evolution combined with GNOME3 [23:50] anything else? [23:50] i dislike evolution a lot and so prefer thunderbird [23:50] !best | marjinal1st [23:50] marjinal1st: Usually, there is no single "best" application to perform a given task. It's up to you to choose, depending on your preferences, features you require, and other factors. Do NOT take polls in the channel. If you insist on getting people's opinions, ask BestBot in #ubuntu-bots. [23:51] otura, that comment asside, the software isn't being maintained anymore, so perhaps you should direct your anger at the developers of Komposer? [23:51] The only one steam package available is i386, and my system doesn't accepted it! [23:51] Does anyone know how long it will take before the official ubuntu repositories update to LibreOffice 4.0? [23:52] Physicist, works on my 64-bit system [23:52] Physicist, I just did 'dpkg -i steam.deb' then 'apt-get -f install' [23:52] jxcl: Repos don't update like that. [23:52] actually i don't wanna install gnome 3 and other typical gnome software. happy with unity and thunderbird. just need an calendar/task software looking good on 12.10 and unity [23:52] tgm4883: I'm not angry, I'm just slightly amused. [23:52] histo: what do you mean? [23:53] jxcl: Meaning it probably won't be updated until the next version of ubuntu. The software in the repos is only fixed for security reasons and bug fixes. Other than that the version stays the same. You could check in backports if you need a newer version [23:53] tmg4883. Ok.. I will try right now! [23:53] !backports | jxcl [23:53] jxcl: If new updated Ubuntu packages are built for an application, then they may go into Ubuntu Backports. See https://help.ubuntu.com/community/UbuntuBackports - See also !packaging [23:53] otura, well I just skimmed the bug report, it doesn't build on Quantal and nobody wants to maintain it. Sounds like a good reason to not have it in Quantal to me [23:53] histo: thank you [23:55] Hi, I have a dataloss because of an apparent bug in nautilus. Trying to move files from one to another tab in nautilus, but move them back to the original tab gives an error and after clicking "abort" the files are GONE. for good [23:55] slnls: What version of ubuntu? [23:56] slnls: And is there a question in there? [23:56] 12.04. Where are my files? [23:56] slnls, link to bug report? [23:56] slnls: have you tried looking in the directories in terminal? [23:56] tmg4883. Wrong architecture i386.. [23:57] Physicist, we're talking the steam linux client right? [23:57] tmg4883. Wrong architecture i386.. my system is 64 amd too! [23:57] Physicist: You should be able to install it. [23:57] Physicist, downloaded from http://media.steampowered.com/client/installer/steam.deb ? [23:57] tmg4883. yes. [23:57] Physicist: Double click it. What error do you get? [23:57] Physicist, what version of Ubuntu? [23:57] 10.04 [23:58] Physicist, it doesn't support 10.04? [23:58] Physicist, it supports 12.04 [23:58] which is a pretty large difference [23:58] OK, I found the files. but still. this is not supposed to happen. I dont have a bug report yet. How should I? [23:58] slnls, do you have steps to reproduce? [23:58] !bug | slnls [23:58] slnls: If you find a bug in Ubuntu or any of its derivatives, please file a bug using the command « ubuntu-bug » - See https://help.ubuntu.com/community/ReportingBugs for other ways to report bugs. [23:58] so i have to upgrade my system.. than install steam.. [23:59] i want to run a package only with typing his name at any time on terminal i have to add symlink? [23:59] I like 10.04! [23:59] Physicist: What error are you getting? [23:59] slnls: if nautilus crashed... didn't the crash handler pop up asking to submit something? [23:59] isto, wrong architecture! [23:59] only that. [23:59] histo, he's getting an "invalid architecture" error from dpkg since he's trying to install a 32-bit package on a 64-bit os
