| r4y | Arg, I am still having troubles with Ubuntu 10.04 and logging in. My tests with the first hard drive seemed to work but then I installed Ubuntu 10.04 and updated and can't login normally. I have to use failsafe | 08:37 |
| r4y | I think perhaps it's the graphics on this motherboard but I don't know. It doesn't have a graphics card that I put it, the graphics card is built in or something | 08:38 |
| r4y | I came to ask how to install packages onto a hard drive that has Ubuntu installed onto it with a live usb stick with Ubuntu on it? | 08:39 |
| r4y | Hello | 09:51 |
| r4y | The window switcher is bigger | 09:54 |
| r4y | in gnome 2 | 09:55 |
| q__ | hey | 11:31 |

| moritzD | hello everybody | 12:38 |
| moritzD | I have a short question: Where can I find some logs about incomming network conectionatempts (sorry for my english, I don´t use it in first place) | 12:40 |
| moritzD | I´m using a Ubuntu 10.04 and want to check the domain of someone who tried to remote conect to my desktop | 12:42 |
| geirha | That's upto each service to log | 12:43 |
| geirha | In that case it's vino. Whether it logs, or where it logs, I'm not sure. | 12:43 |
| moritzD | okay, thanks, I start searchin | 12:45 |
| moritzD | It seems that vino doesn´t have logfiles and that I should write a schellscript to get some. But, thanks again for the quick response. | 12:52 |
| evilduanedesign | maybe /var/log/syslog ? | 13:02 |
| evilduanedesign | moritzD: something like tcpdump/wireshark might help you | 13:05 |
| moritzD | okay, I will look it up | 13:05 |
| === zz_jackyalcine is now known as jackyalcine | ||
| === jackyalcine is now known as Jacky_ | ||
| === Jacky_ is now known as zz_jackyalcine | ||
| moritzD | but I have to install it first, or is it installed by default with 10.04? | 13:07 |
| moritzD | and I found nothing in /var/log/syslog using grep networkmanager (I found this befor) or with grep vino. | 13:09 |

| Phryq | anyone here? | 17:54 |
| holstein | Phryq: yes.. | 17:54 |
| Phryq | I'm having a problem trying to run a VM in virtualbox | 17:58 |
| Phryq | it's a fresh Ubuntu 12.10 install, and I can't find the answer on google (only old threads with answers that don't work) | 17:59 |
| Phryq | here is the error I get when I try to run a VM http://pastie.org/6096921 | 17:59 |
| holstein | Phryq: cool... just elaborate as to your issue | 17:59 |
| holstein | what is the host, guest | 17:59 |
| holstein | 32, 64bit? | 17:59 |
| Phryq | 64 bit | 17:59 |
| holstein | host or guest? | 18:00 |
| Phryq | I'm not sure. | 18:00 |
| Phryq | I'm not a root user | 18:00 |
| holstein | Phryq: you should install the DKMS package first | 18:00 |
| Phryq | my computer only has one user account, which I'm using | 18:00 |
| Phryq | I have though | 18:00 |
| holstein | Phryq: thats from the error message | 18:00 |
| holstein | you'll want root access | 18:00 |
| Phryq | I mean, in the software centre DKMS seems to be installed | 18:00 |
| holstein | if you dont have it, you'll probably just want to give up, or run it live | 18:00 |
| holstein | Phryq: seems?.. its reported not installed.. and if you dont have root aceess, i dont see how you could have installed it | 18:01 |
| holstein | just confirm if it is or not, and we'll go from there | 18:01 |
| holstein | /etc/init.d/vboxdrv setup - is the command listed in the error message, assuming you have it installed | 18:02 |
| Phryq | when I search DKMS in the software centre, I get 1 result, and it has the green checkmark beside it | 18:02 |
| holstein | Phryq: cool.. then run the command i pasted above, from the error message as root | 18:02 |
| Phryq | I ran that command and I get 'command not found' | 18:02 |
| Phryq | I mean it says "no such file or directory" | 18:03 |
| holstein | what would i do? just reinstall vbox | 18:03 |
| holstein | Phryq: i would purge it and reinstall it, and watch the terminal output that it gets the kernel module installed without error | 18:03 |
| Phryq | when I cd to the directory and write "vboxdrv setup" it asks me if I mean "xboxdrv" | 18:04 |
| holstein | Phryq: i would reinstall | 18:04 |
| Phryq | by purge do you mean uninstal? | 18:04 |
| holstein | Phryq: well, by purge, i mean purge.. but you can start with whatever you think will work | 18:05 |
| Phryq | how do I purge? | 18:05 |
| Phryq | sorry to be such a nube | 18:05 |
| holstein | Phryq: i would select it in the package manager you are used to and remove it in whatever way you are used to | 18:05 |
| Phryq | ok, so I don't need to 'purge'? | 18:06 |
| holstein | http://ubuntuforums.org/showthread.php?t=1163811 talks it down | 18:06 |
| holstein | Phryq: you might need to change to your specific vbox version | 18:06 |
| Phryq | ok, should I also uninstal and reinstall DKMS? | 18:06 |
| holstein | Phryq: purging is what i would do.. ultimately, i want you to try to reinstall vbox | 18:06 |
| Phryq | I've been reading that thread | 18:07 |
| Phryq | it's kindof strange, I actually got that exact same error when I ran virtualbox in Arch | 18:07 |
| holstein | Phryq: cool.. then remove dkms and try reinstalling | 18:08 |
| Phryq | which was the main reason why I switched over, haha | 18:08 |
| holstein | Phryq: i would expect that, since its really the same | 18:08 |
| holstein | you are using virtualbox both places | 18:08 |
| holstein | Phryq: when i had that issue, i just reinstalled the verion from the repos | 18:08 |
| Phryq | it installs unbeliebably fast, wow | 18:09 |
| Phryq | ok, same error after reinstalling | 18:10 |
| === jackyalcine is now known as zz_jackyalcine | ||
| holstein | Phryq: talk to me more about the system? | 18:29 |
| holstein | Phryq: i literally install ubuntu, and install vbox from the repos, and it works.. what are your specific limitations? | 18:29 |
| Phryq | it's an HP probook 4540s | 18:30 |
| holstein | Phryq: sure.. but you dont have root access? or something? | 18:30 |
| Phryq | that's exactly what I did. My system is a fresh install from today | 18:30 |
| holstein | if you dont have root access, you are likely not able to install that kernel module | 18:30 |
| Phryq | how do I check whether I have root access? | 18:30 |
| holstein | Phryq: you said you are not a root user... | 18:30 |
| holstein | Phryq: im asking what that means? | 18:30 |
| Phryq | I mean, when I did the install, it asked me for a password, I typed it in, and then it installed | 18:31 |
| holstein | Phryq: as your user, in a terminal run "sudo -s" and enter the password | 18:31 |
| Phryq | ok, it makes me "root@username" | 18:32 |
| holstein | ok | 18:32 |
| holstein | apt-get remove dkms | 18:32 |
| Phryq | I was trying to just run "su" before like in Arch | 18:32 |
| Phryq | done | 18:32 |
| holstein | apt-get remove virtualbox *then press the tab key* | 18:32 |
| Phryq | "The following package was automatically installed and is no longer required: | 18:33 |
| holstein | it should autocomplete the version of vbox | 18:33 |
| Phryq | linux-headers-3.5.0-17" | 18:33 |
| Phryq | should I uninstall that package? | 18:33 |
| holstein | Phryq: you can.. there is no should | 18:33 |
| holstein | its your system.. if you want to remove it, remove it | 18:33 |
| holstein | i usually keep an old kernel around | 18:33 |
| holstein | so.. the next one? you have vbox removed? correct? | 18:34 |
| Phryq | after I apt-get remove virtualbox, do I press enter and then tab? | 18:34 |
| Phryq | or just tab? | 18:34 |
| Phryq | I pressed tab after typing it and nothing happens | 18:35 |
| holstein | no.. tab to autocomplete the vbox version.. then enter | 18:35 |
| holstein | Phryq: press it again | 18:35 |
| holstein | Phryq: you should be able to just run "sudo apt-get remove virtualbox-*" | 18:36 |
| holstein | run that... ^^ | 18:36 |
| holstein | Phryq: ok? its removed? | 18:36 |
| Phryq | oh, I had already removed it a second time. I'm reinstalling it so that I can uninstall using your method | 18:37 |
| holstein | Phryq: we'll need to start over then | 18:38 |
| Phryq | ya, so I apt-get remove dkms | 18:38 |
| Phryq | and then apt-get remove virtualbox(tab) | 18:38 |
| holstein | ok.. let me know what all is purged | 18:38 |
| holstein | apt-get remove virtualbox-* | 18:39 |
| Phryq | it says virtualbox-qt | 18:39 |
| holstein | apt-get remove virtualbox | 18:39 |
| Phryq | done | 18:39 |
| holstein | apt-get update | 18:40 |
| holstein | ^^ report any error messages at the end of that | 18:40 |
| Phryq | I don't see any errors | 18:42 |
| holstein | apt-get dist-upgrade | 18:42 |
| Phryq | here are the last 3 lines "Ign http://security.ubuntu.com quantal-security/universe Translation-en_US | 18:42 |
| Phryq | Fetched 90.1 kB in 25s (3,493 B/s) | 18:42 |
| Phryq | Reading package lists... Done | 18:42 |
| Phryq | " | 18:42 |
| Phryq | which means no errors, right? | 18:42 |
| holstein | looks good... now "apt-get dist-upgrade" | 18:42 |
| Phryq | done | 18:42 |
| Phryq | nothing to upgrade I guess | 18:43 |
| holstein | ok.. put this in, hit enter just once, and tell me what all is to be installed *before* installing anything | 18:43 |
| holstein | apt-get install virtualbox-dkms | 18:43 |
| holstein | you can copy/paste it here if its just a few lines | 18:43 |
| Phryq | http://pastie.org/6097191 | 18:44 |
| holstein | Phryq: looks good.. do it | 18:45 |
| holstein | Phryq: dont close the terminal... there will be helpful error ouput there, if needed | 18:45 |
| Phryq | one error in the middle of the output "* No suitable module for running kernel found" | 18:46 |
| holstein | Phryq: open a terminal, and type "virtualbox"... does it run? | 18:48 |
| Phryq | here is the full output of the last operation in case it's useful, http://pastie.org/6097209 | 18:49 |
| Phryq | yes, it does | 18:49 |
| Phryq | shall I make a VM and see if it runs? | 18:49 |
| holstein | Phryq: sure.. | 18:49 |
| holstein | Phryq: well.. close that one and start it from the menu and test | 18:49 |
| Phryq | awesome, it works! | 18:51 |
| Phryq | thanks so much | 18:51 |
| Phryq | though I realize I was running it as root | 18:51 |
| holstein | Phryq: cheers! | 18:51 |
| holstein | Phryq: but that was from the menu, correct? | 18:52 |
| holstein | just as normal user? | 18:52 |
| holstein | !sudo | 18:52 |
| ubot2 | sudo is a command to run command-line programs with superuser privileges ("root") (also see !cli). Look at https://help.ubuntu.com/community/RootSudo for more information. For graphical applications see !gksu (GNOME, Xfce), or !kdesudo (KDE). If you're unable to execute commands with sudo see: http://www.psychocats.net/ubuntu/fixsudo | 18:52 |
| holstein | !gksudo | 18:52 |
| ubot2 | If you need to run graphical applications as root, use « gksudo », as it will set up the environment more appropriately. Never just use "sudo"! (See http://psychocats.net/ubuntu/graphicalsudo to know why) | 18:52 |
| holstein | ^^ for your reading | 18:52 |
| Phryq | still works as normal user | 18:52 |
| holstein | Phryq: enjoy.. | 18:53 |
| Phryq | I will; you're the best | 18:53 |
| Phryq | well, now I'll go to bed, I'll enjoy in the morning | 18:53 |
| Phryq | cheers | 18:53 |
| odiv | Hi. I want to install the latest version of something for which the package I can get via apt-get is a bit behind. Apparently I can install it with pip, but when I do I need to use sudo or it doesn't work. And when I use sudo then the config files it creates in my home dir are owned by root and the program will only run with sudo, otherwise it says "-bash: /usr/bin/beet: No such file or directory" | 19:00 |
| holstein | odiv: pip? | 19:00 |
| odiv | Oh, and it's "beets" I'm trying to install, if that's relevant: http://beets.readthedocs.org/en/v1.1.0-beta.1/ | 19:00 |
| holstein | do you need the newer version? | 19:00 |
| odiv | pip is a tool for installing and managing python packages | 19:01 |
| holstein | that version is beta | 19:01 |
| odiv | Yeah, I might have to make do with the old version, but I have a config file already written for the new version with the settings I want. | 19:01 |
| odiv | But yeah, if it comes to it I can probably make do with the old one. | 19:01 |
| holstein | well, do you need the new one? if not, the old one is not beta | 19:02 |
| odiv | Maybe this is a question better suited for a pip forum. | 19:02 |
| odiv | or FAQ | 19:02 |
| holstein | i mean, im sure we can sort out how to install the latest.. but if you dont need it, run the stable | 19:02 |
| holstein | odiv: i would just not use pip if its not working | 19:02 |
| holstein | https://launchpad.net/ubuntu/+source/beets/1.0~rc2-1/+build/4215891 assuming it has not odd dependencies | 19:03 |
| holstein | or maybe thats the one you have in the repos | 19:03 |
| holstein | odiv: you can always sudo -s and use pip and chown back what you need | 19:04 |
| holstein | !chown | 19:04 |
| ubot2 | An explanation of what file permissions are and how they can be manipulated can be found at https://help.ubuntu.com/community/FilePermissions | 19:04 |
| odiv | ubot2: Yeah, thanks. I can take ownership of those directories and files in my home dir. I just figured it was probably indicitive of an improper install that root owned them. | 19:05 |
| ubot2 | odiv: I am only a bot, please don't think I'm intelligent :) | 19:05 |
| odiv | okay then. :) | 19:05 |
| odiv | missed the bot trigger :P | 19:05 |
| odiv | I think I'll just use the stable and rewrite the config I wrote. | 19:05 |
| odiv | Less hassle. | 19:06 |
| holstein | maybe in the long run as well, since its beta | 19:06 |
| holstein | i mean, unless you really need a feature in the beta | 19:06 |
| odiv | Yeah. I just figured while I was at it it would be nice to figure out what I was doing wrong with pip. | 19:07 |
| holstein | eh.. its probably working fine.. just gotta sort out permissions afterwards i bet | 19:08 |
