[00:00] I will wait for few days to decide which team I should join, what path to take and stuff. :) [00:00] and thanks to Unit193 for finding me the proper link [00:00] No problem. [01:51] I am a newbie when it comes to Ubuntu and would like to contribute to the open source community. Any suggestions were to start? === zz_Jacky_ is now known as jackyalcine === jackyalcine is now known as Jacky_ === Jacky_ is now known as zz_Jacky_ === zz_Jacky_ is now known as jackyalcine === jackyalcine is now known as Jacky_ === histo1 is now known as histo === phillw is now known as Guest92936 === Jacky_ is now known as zz_Jacky_ === zz_Jacky_ is now known as jackyalcine === jackyalcine is now known as Jacky_ === Jacky_ is now known as zz_Jacky_ === zz_Jacky_ is now known as jackyalcine === jackyalcine is now known as zz_jackyalcine === yofel_ is now known as yofel [08:37] 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 [08:38] 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 [08:39] 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? [09:51] Hello [09:54] The window switcher is bigger [09:55] in gnome 2 [11:31] hey [11:31] just installed ubuntu === q__ is now known as Phryq [11:32] trying to run virtualbox, and I get an error when I run a virtual machine [12:05] rawr need help but so alone [12:38] hello everybody [12:40] 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) [12:42] I´m using a Ubuntu 10.04 and want to check the domain of someone who tried to remote conect to my desktop [12:43] That's upto each service to log [12:43] In that case it's vino. Whether it logs, or where it logs, I'm not sure. [12:45] okay, thanks, I start searchin [12:52] 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. [13:02] maybe /var/log/syslog ? [13:05] moritzD: something like tcpdump/wireshark might help you [13:05] okay, I will look it up === zz_jackyalcine is now known as jackyalcine === jackyalcine is now known as Jacky_ === Jacky_ is now known as zz_jackyalcine [13:07] but I have to install it first, or is it installed by default with 10.04?

[17:54] Phryq: yes.. [17:58] I'm having a problem trying to run a VM in virtualbox [17:59] 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] here is the error I get when I try to run a VM http://pastie.org/6096921 [17:59] Phryq: cool... just elaborate as to your issue [17:59] what is the host, guest [17:59] 32, 64bit? [17:59] 64 bit [18:00] host or guest? [18:00] I'm not sure. [18:00] I'm not a root user [18:00] Phryq: you should install the DKMS package first [18:00] my computer only has one user account, which I'm using [18:00] I have though [18:00] Phryq: thats from the error message [18:00] you'll want root access [18:00] I mean, in the software centre DKMS seems to be installed [18:00] if you dont have it, you'll probably just want to give up, or run it live [18:01] Phryq: seems?.. its reported not installed.. and if you dont have root aceess, i dont see how you could have installed it [18:01] just confirm if it is or not, and we'll go from there [18:02] /etc/init.d/vboxdrv setup - is the command listed in the error message, assuming you have it installed [18:02] when I search DKMS in the software centre, I get 1 result, and it has the green checkmark beside it [18:02] Phryq: cool.. then run the command i pasted above, from the error message as root [18:02] I ran that command and I get 'command not found' [18:03] I mean it says "no such file or directory" [18:03] what would i do? just reinstall vbox [18:03] Phryq: i would purge it and reinstall it, and watch the terminal output that it gets the kernel module installed without error [18:04] when I cd to the directory and write "vboxdrv setup" it asks me if I mean "xboxdrv" [18:04] Phryq: i would reinstall [18:04] by purge do you mean uninstal? [18:05] Phryq: well, by purge, i mean purge.. but you can start with whatever you think will work [18:05] how do I purge? [18:05] sorry to be such a nube [18:05] Phryq: i would select it in the package manager you are used to and remove it in whatever way you are used to [18:06] ok, so I don't need to 'purge'? [18:06] http://ubuntuforums.org/showthread.php?t=1163811 talks it down [18:06] Phryq: you might need to change to your specific vbox version [18:06] ok, should I also uninstal and reinstall DKMS? [18:06] Phryq: purging is what i would do.. ultimately, i want you to try to reinstall vbox [18:07] I've been reading that thread [18:07] it's kindof strange, I actually got that exact same error when I ran virtualbox in Arch [18:08] Phryq: cool.. then remove dkms and try reinstalling [18:08] which was the main reason why I switched over, haha [18:08] Phryq: i would expect that, since its really the same [18:08] you are using virtualbox both places [18:08] Phryq: when i had that issue, i just reinstalled the verion from the repos [18:09] it installs unbeliebably fast, wow [18:10] ok, same error after reinstalling === jackyalcine is now known as zz_jackyalcine [18:29] Phryq: talk to me more about the system? [18:29] Phryq: i literally install ubuntu, and install vbox from the repos, and it works.. what are your specific limitations? [18:30] it's an HP probook 4540s [18:30] Phryq: sure.. but you dont have root access? or something? [18:30] that's exactly what I did. My system is a fresh install from today [18:30] if you dont have root access, you are likely not able to install that kernel module [18:30] how do I check whether I have root access? [18:30] Phryq: you said you are not a root user... [18:30] Phryq: im asking what that means? [18:31] I mean, when I did the install, it asked me for a password, I typed it in, and then it installed [18:31] Phryq: as your user, in a terminal run "sudo -s" and enter the password [18:32] ok, it makes me "root@username" [18:32] ok [18:32] apt-get remove dkms [18:32] I was trying to just run "su" before like in Arch [18:32] done [18:32] apt-get remove virtualbox *then press the tab key* [18:33] "The following package was automatically installed and is no longer required: [18:33] it should autocomplete the version of vbox [18:33] linux-headers-3.5.0-17" [18:33] should I uninstall that package? [18:33] Phryq: you can.. there is no should [18:33] its your system.. if you want to remove it, remove it [18:33] i usually keep an old kernel around [18:34] so.. the next one? you have vbox removed? correct? [18:34] after I apt-get remove virtualbox, do I press enter and then tab? [18:34] or just tab? [18:35] I pressed tab after typing it and nothing happens [18:35] no.. tab to autocomplete the vbox version.. then enter [18:35] Phryq: press it again [18:36] Phryq: you should be able to just run "sudo apt-get remove virtualbox-*" [18:36] run that... ^^ [18:36] Phryq: ok? its removed? [18:37] oh, I had already removed it a second time. I'm reinstalling it so that I can uninstall using your method [18:38] Phryq: we'll need to start over then [18:38] ya, so I apt-get remove dkms [18:38] and then apt-get remove virtualbox(tab) [18:38] ok.. let me know what all is purged [18:39] apt-get remove virtualbox-* [18:39] it says virtualbox-qt [18:39] apt-get remove virtualbox [18:39] done [18:40] apt-get update [18:40] ^^ report any error messages at the end of that [18:42] I don't see any errors [18:42] apt-get dist-upgrade [18:42] here are the last 3 lines "Ign http://security.ubuntu.com quantal-security/universe Translation-en_US [18:42] Fetched 90.1 kB in 25s (3,493 B/s) [18:42] Reading package lists... Done [18:42] " [18:42] which means no errors, right? [18:42] looks good... now "apt-get dist-upgrade" [18:42] done [18:43] nothing to upgrade I guess [18:43] ok.. put this in, hit enter just once, and tell me what all is to be installed *before* installing anything [18:43] apt-get install virtualbox-dkms [18:43] you can copy/paste it here if its just a few lines [18:44] http://pastie.org/6097191 [18:45] Phryq: looks good.. do it [18:45] Phryq: dont close the terminal... there will be helpful error ouput there, if needed [18:46] one error in the middle of the output "* No suitable module for running kernel found" [18:48] Phryq: open a terminal, and type "virtualbox"... does it run? [18:49] here is the full output of the last operation in case it's useful, http://pastie.org/6097209 [18:49] yes, it does [18:49] shall I make a VM and see if it runs? [18:49] Phryq: sure.. [18:49] Phryq: well.. close that one and start it from the menu and test [18:51] awesome, it works! [18:51] thanks so much [18:51] though I realize I was running it as root [18:51] Phryq: cheers! [18:52] Phryq: but that was from the menu, correct? [18:52] just as normal user? [18:52] !sudo [18:52] 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] !gksudo [18:52] 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] ^^ for your reading [18:52] still works as normal user [18:53] Phryq: enjoy.. [18:53] I will; you're the best [18:53] well, now I'll go to bed, I'll enjoy in the morning [18:53] cheers [19:00] 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] odiv: pip? [19:00] 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] do you need the newer version? [19:01] pip is a tool for installing and managing python packages [19:01] that version is beta [19:01] 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] But yeah, if it comes to it I can probably make do with the old one. [19:02] well, do you need the new one? if not, the old one is not beta [19:02] Maybe this is a question better suited for a pip forum. [19:02] or FAQ [19:02] i mean, im sure we can sort out how to install the latest.. but if you dont need it, run the stable [19:02] odiv: i would just not use pip if its not working [19:03] https://launchpad.net/ubuntu/+source/beets/1.0~rc2-1/+build/4215891 assuming it has not odd dependencies [19:03] or maybe thats the one you have in the repos [19:04] odiv: you can always sudo -s and use pip and chown back what you need [19:04] !chown [19:04] An explanation of what file permissions are and how they can be manipulated can be found at https://help.ubuntu.com/community/FilePermissions [19:05] 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] odiv: I am only a bot, please don't think I'm intelligent :) [19:05] okay then. :) [19:05] missed the bot trigger :P [19:05] I think I'll just use the stable and rewrite the config I wrote. [19:06] Less hassle. [19:06] maybe in the long run as well, since its beta [19:06] i mean, unless you really need a feature in the beta [19:07] Yeah. I just figured while I was at it it would be nice to figure out what I was doing wrong with pip. [19:08] eh.. its probably working fine.. just gotta sort out permissions afterwards i bet === zz_jackyalcine is now known as jackyalcine === jackyalcine is now known as Jacky_
