| tgm4883 | histo, forcing the package installation wouldn't do much but override the error | 00:01 |

| Gerowen | sjch: If you use a terminal based program such as "top", you may see priority called "Nice" level. In this instance, the lower the nice level, the higher the priority. 0 is the default, but in the graphical "System Monitor" program, it's just called "Priority". | 00:34 |

| Gerowen | bigfat: I've used it on occasion, but never really noticed any advantages over the default one. I used it in older Ubuntu releases when, for whatever reason, gnome-network-manager would crap out on certain computers, but I haven't had any issues with that in years. | 00:36 |
| === gwinbeee is now known as gwinbee | ||
| bigfat | I only ask because the default network manager won't pick up on an open wifi range at the school I go to, but I'm not sure if switching to wcid would help | 00:37 |

| bigfat | actually, not pick up, I mean connect, it tries to connect but never succeeds | 00:38 |
| Gerowen | gueriLLaPunK: You can install and use the command line "iftop" to view bandwidth from the terminal. After you've installed it just run it with: sudo iftop -i interface | 00:39 |
| Gerowen | Replace the word interface with the correct interface designation; i.e. eth0 | 00:39 |
| gueriLLaPunK | lol i just typed interface | 00:39 |

| battlehands | please advise | 00:45 |

| Gerowen | wellwhy: Sorry my internet was acting up. I'm not an expert on exactly how Wubi works though, so I don't know how much help I'll be. | 01:21 |
| wellwhy | Any help works | 01:21 |
| Gerowen | wellwhy: Your goal is to dual boot right? Have you tried booting from an Ubuntu CD and installing normally and just letting it resize your Windows partition? | 01:21 |
| wellwhy | That is what dual boot does, I think. But to answer your question, no, and I dont really want to take a chance on a disk if it ends up not working | 01:22 |
| Gerowen | wellwhy: I've never really used Wubi, so maybe somebody here who has will see your issue. Have you tried posting it on the forums at www.ubuntuforums.org? It'd get more visibility there. | 01:24 |

| jrib | sin_tax: you can probably get by by removing "linux-server" and installing it again | 02:01 |
| bin_bash | jrib, that's probably a terrible idea. | 02:01 |
| jrib | bin_bash: nah, it's just a meta-package | 02:01 |
| bin_bash | No it's not | 02:02 |
| bin_bash | it's ubuntu server's kernel | 02:02 |

| bin_bash | jrib, it's the actual kernel. | 02:02 |
| jrib | bin_bash: http://packages.ubuntu.com/precise-updates/linux-server | 02:03 |
| bin_bash | jrib, because it's a headless server, removing that package could actually damage the system. Besides. He doesn't WANT to downgrade | 02:03 |
| jrib | bin_bash: as I said, it's a metapackage. I'm not advising him to downgrade... | 02:04 |
| bin_bash | jrib, if you read the problem, aptitude is trying to downgrade from .45 to .44 | 02:04 |
| jrib | bin_bash: no, that's not the problem | 02:04 |
| bin_bash | Yes it is. Did you read the whole thread? When trying to apt-get upgrade, it wants to downgrade but can't because dependencies. | 02:05 |

| bin_bash | drag0nius, is that correct though? did you check to make sure that it's 192.168.1.10 | 02:24 |
| bin_bash | sin_tax, i guess | 02:24 |
| drag0nius | yep my comp is on static ip | 02:25 |
| jrib | sin_tax: you can do "sudo apt-get remove linux-server" it should only be removing the "linux-server" package. If it prompts you for other things, pastebin | 02:25 |
| SolarisBoy | Bsadowski1: 'OpenGL Warning: Failed to connect to host. Make sure 3D acceleration is enabled for this VM.' in your post seems to be a relevant error | 02:25 |
| piero | Do you have MTP transfer protocol working? Which doc did u read? | 02:25 |
| sin_tax | ok, successfully removed, jrib, should I reinstall it now or do an apt-get upgrade first? | 02:26 |
| jrib | sin_tax: now do "sudo apt-get install linux-server" | 02:26 |
| bin_bash | ^ | 02:26 |
| Bsadowski1 | But when I tried to do that, SolarisBoy, it popped up another error. I'm wondering if it could be a problem with the OpenGL video driver.s | 02:26 |
| Bsadowski1 | -s | 02:26 |
| sin_tax | OK, that seemed to work jrib | 02:26 |
| bin_bash | sin_tax, now do apt-get update && apt-get upgrade | 02:27 |
| jrib | sin_tax: you can try upgrade now in case you have upgrades available that apt wasn't letting you do before. I'm not sure how your apt ended up in the broken state though, do you have any idea/ | 02:27 |
| SolarisBoy | Bsadowski1: or possibly OpenGL in a VM (or your VM on your host machine with it's settings) is not working properly? | 02:27 |
| sin_tax | bin_bash, just did and everything seems nice - Thanks very much jrib and bin_bash | 02:27 |

| gaelfx | bin_bash: Network controller: Broadcom Corporation BCM4313 802.11b/g/n Wireless LAN Controller (rev 01) | 02:39 |
| SolarisBoy | decci: also there are several ways to create a custom installation media (like the installation DVD/CD) so you can try those as well if it looks more convenient | 02:39 |
| bin_bash | gaelfx, does it have a hardware switch | 02:39 |

| gaelfx | bin_bash: nope, it even sees the network it normally connects to, it's just failing to connect to it for whatever reason | 02:40 |
| SolarisBoy | decci: sure ... | 02:40 |
| bin_bash | gaelfx, what kind of encryption is the network | 02:40 |
| SolarisBoy | savagecroc: seems like ubuntu keeps 9.1 in the standard repo's you may need to go out of the ubuntu repos for the version you require | 02:40 |
| savagecroc | ahhhh | 02:41 |
| SolarisBoy | atleast for 12.04.1 | 02:41 |
| savagecroc | righhhht | 02:41 |
| decci | SolarisBoy: Can I add driver through remastersys | 02:41 |
| savagecroc | ok.. yeah i must have added some other source to get 9.2 | 02:41 |
| SolarisBoy | decci: i have never used that | 02:41 |
| decci | SolarisBoy: Can you suggest me an easy way to add driver during install time | 02:41 |
| SolarisBoy | decci: i did =) | 02:41 |
| decci | SolarisBoy: Using preseeding seems like little complicated | 02:42 |
| gaelfx | bin_bash: wep | 02:42 |
| SolarisBoy | decci: heh it is what it is | 02:42 |
| decci | SolarisBoy: Cant I add drivers as I do with RHEL | 02:42 |
| bin_bash | gaelfx, what network manager are you using? | 02:42 |

| FergusL | g++ / linker question, is there a way to know _exactly_ what files ld links against when executing ? | 02:45 |
| SolarisBoy | decci: can you clarify if you want to install drivers during setup that are non-standard etc, or if you need to have some driver to install your OS like some storage driver (iscsi,powerpath) etc? | 02:45 |
| FergusL | a -v or something | 02:45 |
| escott_ | gaelfx, wep also stands for "weak encryption protocol" | 02:45 |
| decci | SolarisBoy: I am unable to install Ubuntu 12.04.1 on COmpellent SAN directly due to missing open-iscsi package | 02:46 |
| SolarisBoy | if it's the first you need to customize your CD/install media or use preseed files, if the latter im not sure but i do believe has a section in the install that asks if you need to load additional drivers | 02:46 |
| dr_willis | ePirat: see what files are on it.. could be some windows recovery partition | 02:46 |
| decci | SolarisBoy:I want to inject this driver during install time | 02:46 |
| SolarisBoy | decci: ok thanks for explaining - i get you now | 02:46 |
| gaelfx | bin_bash: I sincerely doubt the problem is with the encryption, and I don't think changing it is a very good option. The problem seems to be on this machine's end, so anything I'm changing is gonna be here | 02:47 |
| gaelfx | escott_: thanks for that | 02:47 |
| bin_bash | gaelfx, I seriously think the problem is WEP. Because I've had this exact same problem. And using WPA/2 works. | 02:47 |
| decci | SolarisBoy: So what you suggest | 02:47 |
| SolarisBoy | decci: pause the installation before disk creation and switch TTY's install it there and switch back to the GUI to continue the installation if there is no set place to add additional drivers | 02:48 |
| gaelfx | bin_bash: I think it's more likely that whatever new module for broadcom wireless came with the new kernel broke the functionality of my particular card | 02:49 |
| decci | SolarisBoy: Do you mean during Ubuntu installation time? | 02:49 |
| bin_bash | gaelfx, k. good luck figuring that ne out. | 02:49 |
| decci | SolarisBoy: Before the disk creation???? | 02:49 |
| SolarisBoy | i guess you are right on that side because RHEL based systems do ask if you want to add additional drivers | 02:49 |
| SolarisBoy | decci: yes .... | 02:49 |
| bin_bash | gaelfx, go ahead and forget about my easy fix. And have fun debugging kernel modules | 02:49 |
| decci | SolarisBoy: When does the screen comes - before disk creation | 02:50 |
| SolarisBoy | decci: look into manually installing the driver - and switching TTY's. | 02:50 |

| Elv1313 | dell1: Use MS-DOS partition format and use an ext3 or ext4 partition | 05:07 |
| tgm4883 | yea, no need to repartition, just format | 05:07 |
| vnc786 | go can I run websites on ubuntu which requries IE ? i tried installing ie4linux but its not working..can some give some hint..i have tried winetricks, ie4linux | 05:07 |
| tgm4883 | I'd recommend ext4 if you don't have a specific reason for ext3 | 05:08 |
| dell1 | MS-DOS or GPT? | 05:08 |
| tgm4883 | really out now, cake time | 05:08 |
| Elv1313 | MS-DOS | 05:08 |
| histo | dell1: gpt for large disks | 05:08 |
| histo | Elv1313: please stop | 05:08 |
| dell1 | I found that ext3 is more compatible between distros | 05:08 |
| wiggmpk | tgm4883: bring enough for the rest of the class =P | 05:08 |
| Elv1313 | histo: GPT partition sheme have issues on older systems | 05:08 |
| histo | Elv1313: msdos partition scheme can't address larger disks | 05:09 |
| Rabblerouser | Well I got my unity back, but sudo dpkg-reconfigure -a is taking FOREVER with no 'updates' on its progress | 05:09 |
| histo | Elv1313: that's why we have gpt | 05:09 |
| Jouva | histo: Ok. So I don't want to give away my IPs so for the sake of discussion we can just assume 169.254.x.x is actually public routable. Those aren't the IPs I'm using mind you. | 05:09 |
| Elv1313 | histo: it can be extended to support 4tb just fine and it have better compatibility | 05:09 |
| Rabblerouser | Scratch that. Just got a return: "/usr/sbin/kpkg-reconfigure: man-db is broken or not fully installed" | 05:09 |
| dell1 | Align to: Mib/Sylinder/None | 05:10 |
| dell1 | ? | 05:10 |
| histo | Jouva: ~jouva@pool-98-111-142-253.phlapa.fios.verizon.net is your ip | 05:10 |
| Jouva | this is not the machine in question I am on | 05:10 |
| Jouva | it's my server | 05:10 |
| histo | dell1: How large is this disk? | 05:10 |
| Jouva | histo: Publicly routable, in a data center | 05:10 |
| dell1 | What should I choose in Align to: Mib/Sylinder/None? (I want to have one partition, 1TB) | 05:11 |
| dell1 | I mean whole disk as one partition | 05:11 |
| histo | Elv1313: And how old of a machine would it have to be to not support gpt. I highly doubt they will run into that issue. | 05:11 |
| Jouva | histo: But say my machine has 169.254.10.10 through 169.254.10.20. And maybe 169.254.10.15 has an IRC server on it. If I have an IRC bot that is trying to connect to port 6667 on 169.254.10.15, it won't work. But outside connections are fine. | 05:11 |
| Rabblerouser | Can someone help? Someone suggested I use sudo dpkg-reconfigure -a... and after a while, it returned "/usr/sbin/dpkg-reconfigure: man-db is broken or not fully installed" | 05:11 |
| histo | dell1: Are you using gparted? | 05:11 |
| Elv1313 | histo: if he use ext3, he probably will | 05:11 |
| dell1 | I have Dell Studio 1555, two years old | 05:11 |
| Steamed_buns | ... | 05:11 |
| dell1 | histo: Yes | 05:12 |
| dell1 | I choose ext4 | 05:12 |
| histo | Jouva: how do you ahve 10 ips assigned to one machine? | 05:12 |
| Elv1313 | histo: I first used GPT around 2008, and it had bugs because it was rare back then | 05:12 |
| dell1 | Is it the same in 2013? | 05:12 |
| histo | dell1: it's pretty easy to just delete a parititon and create a new one. Where are you getting asked all these questions? | 05:12 |
| ahmedipa | Can’t Login to Desktop unless using Guest Session | 05:13 |
| Jouva | histo: Fine it's 6 with 4 usable. Just roll with it. | 05:13 |
| Jouva | The number of IPs isn't the point | 05:13 |
| Jouva | It's more than one IP | 05:13 |
| cfhowlett | vnc786, to get at websites that require IE, use wine and install an old IE version ... | 05:13 |
| Elv1313 | no, its fine now, I use it everywhere, but if you want to use ext3 for compatiblity, then use MS-DOs for compatibility too | 05:13 |
| dell1 | What should I choose in Align to: Mib/Sylinder/None? | 05:13 |
| histo | Jouva: Yes it is an issue. Are these virtual machines, or multiple adapters, or virtual adpaters. It has a lot to do withyour problem. Are they on the same subnet as other machines on the network ? | 05:13 |
| histo | Jouva: but if you don't want to go into it I dont' have the time. | 05:14 |
| ahmedipa | Can't Log Into Ubuntu 12.04 | 05:14 |
| `ingsoc | Nope. | 05:14 |
| histo | WTH is with people tonight. | 05:14 |
| `ingsoc | It didn't work. | 05:14 |
| ahmedipa | How can I solve this problem | 05:14 |
| ahmedipa | ?? | 05:14 |
| `ingsoc | Your advice FAILED. | 05:14 |
| Jouva | histo: It's a single physical machine. Not running any virtual server stuff | 05:14 |
| dell1 | What should I choose in Align to: Mib/Sylinder/None? | 05:14 |
| `ingsoc | UBUNTU IS A BOTNET AND IT'S ATTACKING /ETC/RESOLV.CONF. | 05:14 |
| Rabblerouser | No one? | 05:14 |
| `ingsoc | You've been warned! | 05:14 |
| histo | Jouva: With how many nics? and are they on the same class as the rest of the network? | 05:15 |
| wiggmpk | `ingsoc: seriuosly? | 05:15 |
| `ingsoc | Yes. | 05:15 |
| Elv1313 | dell1: align to the start of the disk, and use gparted, not fdisk or other tools, recent disks use 4k sectors, older partitions utilities try to force 512bytes | 05:15 |
| `ingsoc | It keeps changing it. | 05:15 |
| Jouva | histo: Sorry, I thought you meant how like you were confused how it was possible, not how I had it configured. | 05:15 |
| histo | `ingsoc: please stop and go elsewhere you won't listen to us. | 05:15 |
| `ingsoc | Even after I used a dns-servers line. | 05:15 |
| wiggmpk | `ingsoc: oh my gosh, best go back to windows then | 05:15 |
| `ingsoc | No. | 05:15 |
| `ingsoc | It doesn't happen on Debian. | 05:15 |
| `ingsoc | Why does Ubuntu do this? | 05:15 |
| cfhowlett | ingsoc stop trolling. ubuntu is not a botnet ... and feel free to use debian | 05:15 |
| histo | `ingsoc: BECAUSE DEBIAN DOESN"T HAVE THE RESOLVCONF PACKAGE OR NETWORK MANAGER | 05:15 |
| `ingsoc | Okay, just settle down. | 05:16 |
| Jouva | histo: Looks like 2 nics, but the 2nd one is on a private network 10.x.x.x that isn't part of this and isn't an IP I'm trying to connect to. The public IPs are all on eth0 | 05:16 |
| dell1 | Elv1313: It asks for align to: MiB/Cylinder/None | 05:16 |
| dell1 | What should I choose? | 05:16 |
| `ingsoc | How do I stop resolvconf or network-manager from pulling DNS servers out its ass? | 05:16 |
| Elv1313 | take the default, but you should align to sector one | 05:16 |
| cfhowlett | vnc786, note: an old IE version is included with wine | 05:16 |
| histo | !language | `ingsoc | 05:16 |
| ubottu | `ingsoc: Please watch your language and topic to help keep this channel family-friendly, polite, and professional. | 05:16 |
| Elv1313 | (0 being the mbr) | 05:16 |
| Jouva | histo: But yes, same subnet. 255.255.255.248 | 05:16 |
| histo | `ingsoc: they are being pulled from your router. | 05:17 |
| histo | Jouva: not the same subnet sorry the same class c | 05:17 |
| `ingsoc | histo: How do I stop it? | 05:17 |
| wiggmpk | `ingsoc: Ubuntu just doesnt make up DNS servers dude | 05:17 |
| ahmedipa | anyone has idea about my problem regarding to cannot login to 12.04 | 05:17 |
| histo | `ingsoc: Remove them | 05:17 |
| histo | `ingsoc: or work with them you choose | 05:17 |
| Jouva | histo: Oh. Still yes. | 05:17 |
| `ingsoc | histo: I need them (nmcli). | 05:17 |
| ahmedipa | every day I face new problem | 05:17 |
| dell1 | An error occurred while applying the operations | 05:17 |
| histo | `ingsoc: I've told you how to work with them. You obviously don't want ot do that. So remove them or go back to debian. | 05:17 |
| dell1 | IMPORTANT | 05:17 |
| dell1 | If you want support, you need to provide the saved details! | 05:17 |
| dell1 | See http://gparted.org/save-details.htm for more information. | 05:17 |
| Rabblerouser | "/usr/sbin/dpkg-reconfigure: man-db is broken or not fully installed". How do I fix this? | 05:17 |
| cfhowlett | !details|ahmedipa restate the details ... | 05:17 |
| ubottu | ahmedipa restate the details ...: 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 ..." | 05:17 |
| `ingsoc | histo: I want to work with them. Please. | 05:18 |
| histo | Jouva: ex: 192.168.1.xxx and rest of network is 192.168.1.xxx also | 05:18 |
| apb1963_ | I'm trying to ftp... getting connection refused. I can't help but notice xinetd is not running. What is the ubuntu way of making this work please? | 05:18 |
| Flannel | dell1: Use GParted, don't drop to low level command line tools (not all command line tools are low level, but you have found a very low level one). | 05:18 |
| Flannel | dell1: It's easier, and its probably quicker too. | 05:18 |
| Jouva | histo: Yep. All the same subnet for the public IPs | 05:18 |
| histo | `ingsoc: Then put your dns servers you want in head file. Ex: nameserver 8.8.8.8 in that file | 05:18 |
| dell1 | I am using GParted | 05:18 |
| vnc786 | cfhowlett: i did install ie7 with ./ielinux --no-gui --install ie7 it show that it has installed successfully but when trying to open it does'n work and also i did winetricks ie6 it also show it has installed and it gets IE get open but the website is still asking for >IE 5.5 | 05:18 |
| dell1 | Flannel: I am using GParted | 05:18 |
| dell1 | But I got error | 05:19 |
| Jouva | histo: Mind you this only started happening in the past few days. I did an apt-get update and rebooted, and then this happened. There MIGHT have also been a change to BIND9 or resolv.conf, but I don't see anything odd. | 05:19 |
| `ingsoc | histo: I did, and it still pulled Google's DNS servers. | 05:19 |
| Rabblerouser | Oh for god's sake, this is unbearable | 05:19 |
| ePirat | Wow new record, broke Ubuntu after only 3 hours ._. | 05:19 |
| ePirat | Won't boot anymore | 05:19 |
| ahmedipa | cfhowlett: Can’t Login to Desktop unless using Guest Session | 05:19 |
| Jouva | histo: It's been fine for several months until now. | 05:19 |
| dell1 | Should I unmount the hard drive before formating? | 05:19 |
| histo | Jouva: Can you please explain how this is wired? The adapters please... How many are on this box and why are you using different ip subneets | 05:19 |
| Flannel | dell1: This is an external drive? Did Ubuntu mount it automatically? (You can't format a mounted partition) | 05:19 |
| ahmedipa | ubottu: Can’t Login to Desktop unless using Guest Session | 05:19 |
| ubottu | ahmedipa: I am only a bot, please don't think I'm intelligent :) | 05:19 |
| histo | `ingsoc: is your custom one at the top? | 05:19 |
| Flannel | dell1: Yes. | 05:19 |
| dell1 | Flannel: Thanks | 05:19 |
| dell1 | I will do it again | 05:20 |
| histo | `ingsoc: the top of resolv.conf that is. | 05:20 |
| `ingsoc | histo: Yes. | 05:20 |
| ahmedipa | ubottu: this is first time I face this problem | 05:20 |
| cfhowlett | vnc786, all I can say is ... avoid websites that REQUIRE obsolete and broken browers like ie 5.5 sorry, can't offer anything more than that. | 05:20 |
| cfhowlett | ahmedipa, on 12.04 | 05:20 |
| cfhowlett | ? | 05:20 |
| histo | `ingsoc: then it's using your custom one. What's the problem? | 05:20 |
| `ingsoc | histo: I don't want Google's DNS in there. | 05:20 |
| `ingsoc | histo: It makes me feel paranoid. | 05:20 |
| ahmedipa | cfhowlett: yes 12.04 | 05:20 |
| histo | `ingsoc: Then specify your custom ones in network manager. | 05:21 |
| Rabblerouser | Ironic that I get better support from a game's IRC channel and the game doesn't even run natively on Linux yet. | 05:21 |
| `ingsoc | histo: How? | 05:21 |
| STMelon | +1 Rabblerouser | 05:21 |
| histo | `ingsoc: click on the network icon and edit connections | 05:21 |
| ahmedipa | cfhowlett: second problem is low disk space | 05:21 |
| histo | `ingsoc: or go into settings and then network and change the settings for that connection. | 05:22 |
| cfhowlett | ahmedipa, one problem at a time ...thought you couldn't login? | 05:22 |
| Jouva | histo: The only different IP subnet is a single private one on eth1. All of my public IPs are in the same class C on eth0. This is a box that's a dedicated server being hosted by SingleHop. My assumption (not something I can say for certain, but the only thing I can think of) is that eth1 is for communicating with their own internal tech support and other machines in the same racks so that one | 05:22 |
| Jouva | doesn't need to go through the same routers | 05:22 |
| STMelon | histo is working his tail off though, trying to help all at the same time, give im some credit for multi-tasking | 05:22 |
| ahmedipa | ubottu: second problem is low disk space | 05:22 |
| histo | `ingsoc: OR change your stupid router settings to not hand out googles dns records | 05:22 |
| Rabblerouser | STMelon: Yes? | 05:22 |
| `ingsoc | histo: Well, now Ubuntu is even blocking access to 10.1.1.1 | 05:22 |
| `ingsoc | histo: I get connection refused. | 05:22 |
| ahmedipa | cfhowlett: right let's solve the first problem | 05:23 |
| cfhowlett | ahmedipa, fresh install? | 05:23 |
| wiggmpk | Rabblerouser: what package is broken? | 05:23 |
| Rabblerouser | Wait, histo is the ONLY one giving help? D: I had no idea. | 05:23 |
| ahmedipa | cfhowlett: as you said at this time I can't | 05:23 |
| ahmedipa | cfhowlett: what do you mean by that | 05:23 |
| Rabblerouser | man-db. Mind you this is after terminal sort of.. hung. Miraculously, I have my Unity back, but saying that still bugs me | 05:24 |
| histo | Rabblerouser: you coudl reinstall man-db | 05:24 |
| cfhowlett | ahmedipa, how did you install ubuntu 12.04? upgrade from a previous installation or a clean installation | 05:24 |
| ahmedipa | cfhowlett: this happend after I tried to clean and trying to free up space | 05:24 |
| wiggmpk | Rabblerouser: and what have you already tried to do in order to correct the problem? | 05:24 |
| `ingsoc | Why is Ubuntu locking me out of 10.1.1.1? | 05:25 |
| Jouva | histo: I can't even ping localhost it seems | 05:25 |
| ahmedipa | cfhowlett: I don't have problem with installation only I install by usb live | 05:25 |
| Jouva | Or explicitly 127.0.0.1 | 05:25 |
| ahmedipa | cfhowlett: this is fifth month I use ubuntu | 05:25 |
| rob_p | `ingsoc: can you ping it? | 05:25 |
| Rabblerouser | Synaptic, upgrades, and fixing broken packages within Synaptic. Which it apparently didn't see this broken package | 05:26 |
| histo | Jouva: trace it? | 05:26 |
| cfhowlett | ahmedipa, OK | 05:26 |
| `ingsoc | rob_p: Yes. | 05:26 |
| ahmedipa | cfhowlett: I only faced these two problem | 05:26 |
| cfhowlett | ahmedipa, I've got an idea what happened ... | 05:26 |
| `ingsoc | rob_p: I can ping it but I can't telnet it or access it in my browser. | 05:26 |
| Jouva | histo: Yeah it's giving me timeout *s | 05:26 |
| `ingsoc | rob_p: It's a shitty DSL-502T (D-Link). | 05:26 |
| ahmedipa | cfhowlett: I would like to thank you for your attention | 05:26 |
| histo | Jouva: see where the issue is. and also which interface the packets are going oout on. If they are different ip ranges that could be the issue. Going out on one range that doesn't reach the other. | 05:26 |
| cfhowlett | ahmedipa, do you see the login screen at all? | 05:26 |
| topper4125 | !language | `ingsoc | 05:27 |
| ubottu | `ingsoc: Please watch your language and topic to help keep this channel family-friendly, polite, and professional. | 05:27 |
| histo | !ohmy | `ingsoc | 05:27 |
| ubottu | `ingsoc: Please remember that all Ubuntu IRC channels share the same attitude of providing friendly and polite interaction with all users of all ages and cultures. Basically, this means no foul language and no abuse towards others. | 05:27 |
| ahmedipa | cfhowlett: yes I see login screen | 05:27 |
| Jouva | histo: I get nowhere. At all. | 05:27 |
| Jouva | traceroute to 127.0.0.1 (127.0.0.1), 30 hops max, 60 byte packets | 05:27 |
| Jouva | 1 * * * | 05:27 |
| rob_p | `ingsoc: What is *it*? I'm guessing it has Telnet services running, etc? | 05:27 |
| Jouva | I don't know HOW it's doing that or WHY but it is | 05:27 |
| aleksandar | hey, I am thinking of making a custom install script and I'm wondering if there's some other solution than writing all commands myself? | 05:27 |
| cfhowlett | ahmedipa, and after attempting login it loops and kicks you out ... no error messages? | 05:27 |
| `ingsoc | rob_p: It's a router. | 05:27 |
| Jouva | Yet it's allowing connections from outside and letting connections out | 05:27 |
| wiggmpk | Rabblerouser: well that isnt very descriptive, but why dont you try completely removing the package and reinstalling it. I dont know what kind of dependancies man-db has but you can try this | 05:28 |
| ahmedipa | cfhowlett: but when I try to login it will be like loop as you said | 05:28 |
| `ingsoc | rob_p: ADSL router. | 05:28 |
| Jouva | Wonder if it's the route | 05:28 |
| histo | Jouva: tracepath | 05:28 |
| ahmedipa | no any error messages | 05:28 |
| Jouva | 1: no reply | 05:28 |
| wiggmpk | Rabblerouser: sudo apt-get autoclean || sudo apt-get remove --purge man-db || sudo apt-get install man-db | 05:28 |
| histo | Jouva: not good | 05:28 |
| Jouva | Yeahhhh | 05:28 |
| histo | Jouva: routes are jacked up | 05:28 |
| Jouva | That's what I'm thinking now | 05:28 |
| Rabblerouser | Will do, thanks. | 05:29 |
| ahmedipa | cfhowlett: just ask me again and again to login even if I login | 05:29 |
| histo | Jouva: have you tried restarting networking? | 05:29 |
| dr_willis | cfhowlett: some day we need to track down or make a wiki page on resetting user settings. ive seen this identical questiin like 4 times this week | 05:29 |
| rob_p | `ingsoc: So you can ping it, but you can't access it's services? | 05:29 |
| Jouva | ehhhhhhhhhhhhhhh donnnnnnnnnt think I want to be doing that on my own ;) | 05:29 |
| Jouva | Not over ssh | 05:29 |
| dr_willis | ahmedipa: guest user works fine? | 05:29 |
| Jouva | I think at this point I'll let SingleHop look into it | 05:29 |
| cfhowlett | dr_willis, as you're more familiar, can you guide us to the fix? | 05:29 |
| ahmedipa | dr_willis: yes but as you know not full permission | 05:30 |
| `ingsoc | rob_p: That's correct. | 05:30 |
| ahmedipa | dr_willis: as normal user | 05:30 |
| rob_p | `ingsoc: Perhaps it needs a reboot? Many of those consumer-grade routers have buggy firmware and need frequent reboots... | 05:30 |
| dr_willis | ahmedipa: can you login at the console as your user? | 05:30 |
| Rabblerouser | Got a bad feeling after seeing "Removing ubuntu-desktop" after doing that | 05:31 |
| ahmedipa | dr_willis: how can I do that | 05:31 |
| `ingsoc | rob_p: Hmm. I'll try that now. | 05:31 |
| rob_p | `ingsoc: Sort of off-topic for our discussion, but have you checked to see if there's a Linux-based firmware that would work with your router hardware? | 05:31 |
| dr_willis | ahmedipa: alt-ctrl-f1 to get to a console.. alt-ctrl-f7 to get back to X.. see if you can login as your user at the alt-ctrl-f1 console. | 05:31 |
| ahmedipa | dr_willis: yes I see | 05:33 |
| apb1963_ | I'm trying to ftp... getting connection refused. I can't help but notice xinetd is not running. What is the ubuntu way of making this work please? | 05:33 |
| ahmedipa | dr_willis: when I want to try to login by this method he told me incorrect password | 05:34 |
| ahmedipa | dr_willis: I don't know why | 05:34 |
| wiggmpk | Rabblerouser: if it doesnt automatically get reinstalled with man-db just trail that package at the end of the line like "sudo apt-get install man-db ubuntu-desktop" | 05:34 |
| dr_willis | ahmedipa: if you CAN login at the console. then you can try to reset any problem setting files that may be you out.. be sure you are getting the CASEof your password right | 05:34 |
| Jouva | histo: Well thanks for your time though! Sorry for being a little frustrating there at the beginning. Just didn't understand what you needed cause I didn't read it right, though I'm sure my obfuscation didn't help. Just didn't want to look like I'm advertising a server, or have somebody try and poke at my server for exploits or something | 05:35 |
| Rabblerouser | Yeah, I'm doing that.. along with yelp, lintian, gnome-user-guide, ubuntu-docs, and ubuntu-standard. :D lol | 05:35 |
| rob_p | apb1963_: Depends on how you have your FTP server configured to run. Some relied on the old xinetd superserver and some run as a daemon. Some can be configured for either method. | 05:35 |
| dr_willis | ahmedipa: you are sure you are using the right password? ;) | 05:35 |
| apb1963_ | rob_p stock ubuntu install. You tell me :) | 05:35 |
| === weltall2 is now known as weltall | ||
| wiggmpk | Rabblerouser: yeah I figured there was gonna be some dependencies | 05:36 |
| rob_p | apb1963_: Did you install a FTP server? | 05:36 |
| apb1963_ | rob_p: nope. Figured it was part of the package. Just whatever the ISO included. | 05:36 |
| rob_p | apb1963_: Ubuntu doesn't come with it installed by default... | 05:36 |
| apb1963_ | ah | 05:36 |
| apb1963_ | I'm learning :) | 05:36 |
| dr_willis | a ftp server by default? how... 1980's ;) | 05:37 |
| apb1963_ | that's where I'm from :) | 05:37 |
| dr_willis | and insecure | 05:37 |
| ahmedipa | dr_willis: I see tty1 | 05:37 |
| apb1963_ | no i'm pretty confident actually | 05:37 |
| ahmedipa | dr_willis: I am sure about password | 05:37 |
| `ingsoc | HOW DO I STOP UBUNTU FROM STEALING DNS SERVERS FROM MY ROUTER? | 05:38 |
| dr_willis | ahmedipa: you hit alt-ctrl-f1 get a LOGIN: prompt.. you enter your users name and password. and you should get a bash prompt.. if you cant seem to get logged into the console.. you got deeper issues | 05:38 |
| rob_p | apb1963_: The repos have at least one or two options to choose from. I've used proftp with lots of success in the past... | 05:38 |
| apb1963_ | so I guess it's some sort of apt-get thingy right? | 05:38 |
| rob_p | apb1963_: yeah | 05:38 |
| * shuduo is away: auto-away | 05:38 | |
| apb1963_ | apt-get proftp? | 05:38 |
| dr_willis | apb1963_: best would be to not use ftp. ;) but ssh | 05:38 |
| `ingsoc | Anyone? | 05:38 |
| apb1963_ | can I get files with ssh? | 05:39 |
| `ingsoc | I just want it to stop! | 05:39 |
| apb1963_ | never tried that | 05:39 |
| wiggmpk | I <3 FTP shhh | 05:39 |
| dr_willis | apb1963_: theres very little you cant do with ssh | 05:39 |
| dr_willis | apb1963_: if you ahve never used ssh.. then spend the time and learn ig | 05:39 |
| xisiqomelir | "man scp" apbl | 05:39 |
| apb1963_ | will it clean my house? I really need a package to do that | 05:39 |
| wiggmpk | `ingsoc: stop using that router | 05:39 |
| dr_willis | apb1963_: ive seen very very few reasons to use ftp these days | 05:39 |
| ahmedipa | dr_willis: when I type my username then password | 05:39 |
| `ingsoc | wiggmpk: I can't afford a new one. | 05:39 |
| apb1963_ | i'm old school what can I say | 05:39 |
| rob_p | `ingsoc: So were you able to get logged back into the router? | 05:40 |
| ahmedipa | dr_willis: by the way password when I type no character appear | 05:40 |
| `ingsoc | rob_p: No, it wouldn't let me. | 05:40 |
| dr_willis | say 'uga booga.. me got rock.. hit donosaur in head' | 05:40 |
| apb1963_ | actually I use winscp on the windoze side of things | 05:40 |
| wiggmpk | `ingsoc: well then put it in bridge mode and do your own NAT | 05:40 |
| `ingsoc | It's buggy as all hell. | 05:40 |
| ahmedipa | dr_willis: after that he tell me that incorrect | 05:40 |
| `ingsoc | wiggmpk: Because I know how to do that... | 05:40 |
| rob_p | `ingsoc: Sort of off-topic for our discussion, but have you checked to see if there's a Linux-based firmware that would work with your router hardware? | 05:40 |
| `ingsoc | wiggmpk: I just want Ubuntu to stop acting like a damn botnet and stop getting nameservers from the router. | 05:40 |
| `ingsoc | rob_p: It's too old for any custom firmware it seems. | 05:41 |
| dr_willis | ahmedipa: you are either typing it in wrong.. it WONT echo back.. (makes sence from a security point of view) or got a caps lock key on.. or doing some other typo.. Or somehow got your password messwed up | 05:41 |
| apb1963_ | so really I should have just winscp'ed to the server instead of ftp localhost to test if it worked hunh? | 05:41 |
| ahmedipa | dr_willis: even if I hit numLk on or I type any letter | 05:41 |
| `ingsoc | I would remove network-manager but I need nmcli. | 05:41 |
| dr_willis | ahmedipa: try typing your password in when it says 'login;' to be SURE you are typing it correctly.. ;) | 05:42 |
| dr_willis | it will echo back then... | 05:42 |
| rob_p | `ingsoc: Too old? That's usually the opposite of what you'd find... It's the newer routers that aren't as well supported. I don't think you checked... | 05:42 |
| `ingsoc | rob_p: DSL-502T. | 05:42 |
| wiggmpk | `ingsoc: dude... google is a website away.. ubuntu isn't acting as a botnet. if your router has nameservers, its gonna push it to all the clients.. thats how it works.. your options are to configure your router, dont use the router, or use a different router | 05:42 |
| `ingsoc | rob_p: Not supported. :( | 05:42 |
| `ingsoc | wiggmpk: I can't access my router. 10.1.1.1 just sits there and never loads. | 05:43 |
| wiggmpk | `ingsoc: reset it and try again | 05:43 |
| dr_willis | 10.1.1.1 seems an odd router ip$ | 05:43 |
| dr_willis | ip# | 05:43 |
| wiggmpk | `ingsoc: and by reset I mean hold the reset button, not power cycle | 05:43 |
| wiggmpk | sounds like a D-Link or Belkin dr_willis | 05:43 |
| rob_p | `ingsoc: checking... | 05:43 |
| wiggmpk | or some junk the modem/router combo from the ISP (no offense) | 05:44 |
| apb1963_ | nope. I guess sshd isn't installed by default either then? | 05:44 |
| dr_willis | apb1963_: theres no outside services installed by default... | 05:44 |
| apb1963_ | oh | 05:44 |
| apb1963_ | :) | 05:44 |
| dr_willis | apb1963_: security 101 ;) | 05:44 |
| apb1963_ | sshd is a security risk? | 05:45 |
| ahmedipa | dr_willis: login incorrect | 05:45 |
| `ingsoc | wiggmpk: You mean like a factory reset? | 05:45 |
| dr_willis | any servies you dont need.. should NOT be installed by default. | 05:45 |
| wiggmpk | `ingsoc: yes, but first I would be absolutely certain you have the right IP address, not just a local network segment | 05:45 |
| apb1963_ | hmmm... installation is different from configuration and running | 05:45 |
| dr_willis | ahmedipa: either you are doing the password wrong.. or its been changed.. | 05:45 |
| apb1963_ | but ok | 05:45 |
| wiggmpk | `ingsoc: check your default route in "ifconfig" | 05:45 |
| `ingsoc | wiggmpk: Well, it asks for a login, so I think it's correct. | 05:45 |
| apb1963_ | I will accept the ubuntu philosophy | 05:45 |
| apb1963_ | so... apt-get sshd? | 05:46 |
| wiggmpk | `ingsoc: and your certain the password is correct? | 05:46 |
| ahmedipa | dr_willis: I am sure I type many time | 05:46 |
| dr_willis | You want ssh running by default on a install cd? | 05:46 |
| apb1963_ | never thought about it before | 05:46 |
| `ingsoc | wiggmpk: Yes, because incorrect password comes up with a failed page. | 05:46 |
| wiggmpk | `ingsoc: then I would go with the factory reset and try again | 05:47 |
| ahmedipa | dr_willis: if I have doubt user name but I can see user name from screen | 05:47 |
| dr_willis | ahmedipa: only way i know to easially fix your other issuse is if you can login at the console.. but for all wee know the password may be the original issue | 05:47 |
| wiggmpk | `ingsoc: be patient afterwards, like 15minsish | 05:47 |
| apb1963_ | I'm used to inetd.. and it just being available. | 05:47 |
| rob_p | `ingsoc: Looks like openwrt has some support for at least one version of that router, but I prefer DD-WRT and it's not in their database... | 05:47 |
| apb1963_ | it's a question of habit moreso than anything else. | 05:47 |
| `ingsoc | rob_p: I'm scared of bricking it. | 05:47 |
| dr_willis | ahmedipa: you can try fixing your sustem from a live cd. but thats a bit of a bother... | 05:47 |
| ahmedipa | dr_willis: password is easy for me but I don't know when I type password no character appear | 05:48 |
| wiggmpk | `ingsoc: fortune favors the bold my friend | 05:48 |
| dr_willis | ahmedipa: because it DOSENT ECHO the characters.. Its designed NOT to.. you dont want someone seeing your password when you type it. | 05:48 |
| wiggmpk | `ingsoc: is there any other networking equipment between the combo router and the outside world? | 05:48 |
| ahmedipa | dr_willis: may be you are right because I use now guest user and may not full permission cause this | 05:48 |
| rob_p | `ingsoc: I don't blame you. Unless you are comfortable with spi interfaces, jtag, etc. and have the appropriate equipment, there are risks... | 05:49 |
| `ingsoc | wiggmpk: There is a wireless router that I use to connect more cmputers to it. | 05:49 |
| `ingsoc | computers* | 05:49 |
| dr_willis | ahmedipa: so we dont know if its your password thats wrong.. or not. i thought the X login screen says in red letters if you got your password wrong | 05:49 |
| ahmedipa | dr_willis: when I type password as like as terminal exactly | 05:49 |
| Rabblerouser | Is there an equivalent to Windows' "Stereo Mix"? I've found a shell script that allows me to stream video playing a game, but there's no sound. :( | 05:49 |
| histo | `ingsoc: please just specify dns servers in network manager and be done with it. | 05:49 |
| `ingsoc | histo: I don't use network-manager, but I need it for nmcli. | 05:49 |
| histo | `ingsoc: if you use nmcli then you are using network manager | 05:50 |
| `ingsoc | histo: I thought that was the whole point of the dns-nameservers line? | 05:50 |
| ahmedipa | dr_willis: I am sure about the password when I try to login in the screen told me login in again | 05:50 |
| wiggmpk | `ingsoc: disconnect EVERYTHING except for your DSL router/combo and your computer | 05:50 |
| rob_p | `ingsoc: The root of your problem is that your router is handing out DNS addresses that you don't want to use. So fix your router! | 05:50 |
| histo | `ingsoc:it was but you don't want the google ones below it for some insane reason. | 05:50 |
| dr_willis | ahmedipa: so on the Gui Login screen you enter your password.. do you see any red letters mentioning that its wrong? | 05:50 |
| histo | `ingsoc: if you don't want those then you have to specify your own. | 05:50 |
| wiggmpk | `ingsoc: I dunno how your wireless router is operating but double NATing isnt really best practice | 05:50 |
| ahmedipa | dr_willis: when I try to make something wrong will show me it is wrong | 05:50 |
| * histo SCREAMS!!!!! in my own head. | 05:51 | |
| ahmedipa | dr_willis: no I don't see | 05:51 |
| Daegalus | hmm, anyone know the best possible FS for cross-platform use between Windows, Linux, and OSX? Other than FAT32? | 05:51 |
| ahmedipa | dr_willis: because it is right | 05:51 |
| `ingsoc | I don't know what to do! | 05:51 |
| histo | !best | Daegalus | 05:51 |
| ubottu | Daegalus: 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. | 05:51 |
| histo | !manual | `ingsoc | 05:51 |
| ubottu | `ingsoc: The Ubuntu Manual will help you become familiar with everyday tasks such as surfing the web, listening to music and scanning documents. With an emphasis on easy to follow instructions, it is suitable for all levels of experience. http://ubuntu-manual.org/ | 05:51 |
| dr_willis | ahmedipa: then you should be able to login at the console also.. not get a invalid password message.. Do you have a live cd you can boot from? | 05:51 |
| `ingsoc | histo: Thanks, histo. That's so useful. | 05:52 |
| ahmedipa | yes | 05:52 |
| ahmedipa | dr_willis: yes I have | 05:52 |
| rob_p | `ingsoc: Here's what to do: ---> CONFIGURE YOUR ROUTER <--- | 05:52 |
| ahmedipa | dr_willis: I will try to bring it | 05:52 |
| histo | `ingsoc: http://www.stgraber.org/2012/02/24/dns-in-ubuntu-12-04/ | 05:52 |
| `ingsoc | rob_p: You're right, but I'm trying to think what I need to do to get into the damn thing. | 05:52 |
| ahmedipa | right now | 05:52 |
| dr_willis | ahmedipa: you can try to reset your problem users files. bu using the live cd. accessing their Home directory on the installed system and moveing all the files in their home/yourusername/* files to some backup directory. this will reset all your users settings... then reboot back to the installed system and see if they can login | 05:53 |
| histo | `ingsoc: here you go http://lmgtfy.com/?q=ubuntu+12.04+custom+dns+nameserver&l=1 | 05:53 |
| `ingsoc | histo: Finally, someone is exposing the botnet. | 05:53 |
| dr_willis | trollnet? | 05:53 |
| Daegalus | `ingsoc: that doesn't help me at all, I want to know what people have experienced from personal experience. FAt32 is the easiest, but the 4gb max is a nogo. NTFS is possible, but Linux write to is is pretty slow for torrents. exFat is ok, but LInux support isn''t that great. Ext4 is fine, but Windows drivers don't have extents and journaling support. So I wanted to see what others have found to be a good solution for them. | 05:53 |
| rob_p | `ingsoc: You probably need to reset the router to factory defaults and then reconfigure it... | 05:53 |
| `ingsoc | No, Ubuntu is a DNS botnet. | 05:53 |
| dr_willis | you are confused. | 05:54 |
| histo | `ingsoc: it's not a botnet you don't understand what we've been telling you all along that it now uses RESOLVCONF package but believe what you want. I'm done acknowledging you existence | 05:54 |
| rob_p | `ingsoc: Please stop embarrassing yourself and stop using the term, "botnet" until you have a clue what it means! | 05:54 |
| `ingsoc | I'm just being over-dramatic. | 05:55 |
| histo | and insane | 05:55 |
| rob_p | `ingsoc: I'm not trying to offend you, but it's really embarrassing every time you say that! | 05:55 |
| `ingsoc | But seriously, Ubuntu is changing, man. | 05:55 |
| dr_willis | Progress or die... | 05:55 |
| wiggmpk | `ingsoc: and possibly irritating the people trying to help you | 05:55 |
| cfhowlett | ingsoc then you're not really inspiring anyone to redner anyhelp | 05:55 |
| `ingsoc | dr_willis: That's some Borg shit right there. | 05:55 |

| `ingsoc | Well, I wouldn't be in here in the first place if I didn't install Ubuntu. | 05:56 |
| * cfhowlett "possibly"? | 05:56 | |
| `ingsoc | I wish I didn't, but I made a mistake. | 05:56 |
| * shuduo is back (gone 00:17:53) | 05:56 | |
| ahmedipa | dr_willis: my best back up in my opinion external hard drive and one ubuntu | 05:56 |
| wiggmpk | Rabblerouser: how did things go mate? | 05:56 |
| rob_p | `ingsoc: I can understand being frustrated though. Just take a deep breath and look at the situation logically. You'll get it figured out. | 05:57 |
| Rabblerouser | Oh.. I haven't restarted. >.> I guess I'm tempting fate, huh? | 05:57 |
| `ingsoc | rob_p: It's cool. I came in here but then histo just started to nerd rage at me. | 05:57 |
| wiggmpk | Rabblerouser: lol, it'll be fun =P | 05:57 |
| Rabblerouser | Brb. Rebooting | 05:57 |
| blackshirt | hello | 05:58 |
| histo | hola blackshirt | 05:58 |
| blackshirt | i have a simple stupid question .. what the mean output ot $dpkg -l | wc -l | 05:58 |
| cfhowlett | blackshirt, greetings | 05:58 |
| apb1963_ | success... now if I could only remember what I started out to do.... | 05:59 |
| histo | blackshirt: it will count the amount of packages installed . dpkg -l lists them then the out put is piped to wc -l to count the lines | 05:59 |
| dr_willis | blackshirt: wc -l = counts the lines | 05:59 |
| `ingsoc | What if I turn resolv.conf into a regular file? | 05:59 |
| rob_p | `ingsoc: anyway, once you get access to your router, you'll be squared away. Just make sure it hands out the nameserver IPs that you want your network clients to use and you'll be set. Good luck! :) | 05:59 |
| `ingsoc | Would that work? | 05:59 |
| dr_willis | i always set my routers to hand out google dns ips ;) | 05:59 |
| histo | apb1963_: you were talking about installing ssh server or something. | 06:00 |
| swjh | where does ubuntu store kernel .config file? | 06:00 |
| `ingsoc | I don't even remember setting it to the Google DNS. | 06:00 |
| rob_p | `ingsoc: You can spray air freshner on a dirty diaper and it might make things bearable for the moment, but it's not the right way to handle it! | 06:01 |
| `ingsoc | I guess Ubuntu has partnered with Google now like they did with Amazon. | 06:01 |
| `ingsoc | rob_p: That's a good point. | 06:01 |
| blackshirt | histo, dr_willis : thanks ... thats command resulted ... 1151 .. but when i add grep to that command $dpkg -l | grep ^ii | wc -l resulted with 954 ... what the difference | 06:01 |
| blackshirt | ? | 06:01 |
| histo | `ingsoc: Do you have a ubuntu related support question? | 06:01 |
| wiggmpk | correct me if im wrong, but arent DNS servers handed out by your ISP? | 06:01 |
| dr_willis | wiggmpk: unless you set them manually on the router. or override them on you rnetwork manager settings | 06:02 |
| wiggmpk | dr_willis: k, thought so | 06:02 |
| `ingsoc | histo: I do have a Ubuntu support question. Why did Ubuntu sell out so hard after all of our support over the years? | 06:02 |
| cfhowlett | rob_p, best tech metaphor trophy awarded! | 06:02 |
| cfhowlett | !ot | 06:02 |
| ubottu | #ubuntu is the Ubuntu support channel, for all Ubuntu-related support questions. Please use #ubuntu-offtopic for other topics (though our !guidelines apply there too). Thanks! | 06:02 |
| swjh | where does ubuntu store kernel .config file? | 06:02 |
| rob_p | cfhowlett: :P | 06:02 |
| cfhowlett | ingsoc take it up with canonical please, not with the user support channel | 06:02 |
| dr_willis | swjh: im not sure it does.. a check of askubuntu.com may show an answer also. | 06:02 |
| Rabblerouser | \o/ Things work! | 06:02 |
| Rabblerouser | Until I inevitably break it again. | 06:03 |
| blackshirt | histo, dr_willis : thanks ... thats command resulted ... 1151 .. but when i add grep to that command $dpkg -l | grep ^ii | wc -l resulted with 954 ... what the differences ? | 06:03 |
| dr_willis | blackshirt: what are you trying to acomplish anyway? | 06:03 |
| swjh | dr_willis: is it possible to see if I have CONFIG_HIGH_RES_TIMERS? | 06:03 |
| dr_willis | you grepped out some lines.. ;) | 06:03 |
| swjh | *CONFIG_HIGH_RES_TIMERS module | 06:03 |
| dr_willis | swjh: no idea. i havent had to mess with the kernel in years | 06:04 |
| wiggmpk | Rabblerouser: all good then? =) | 06:04 |
| swjh | ok thank you | 06:04 |
| Rabblerouser | Yes, thanks for your help :) | 06:04 |
| histo | cfhowlett: his router is giving him google's dns not ubntu | 06:04 |
| wiggmpk | Rabblerouser: np | 06:04 |
| blackshirt | dr_willis: i'm still learning for this system ... but i want to know .. why this resulting different thing, if dpkg -l was meant for list installed packages | 06:04 |
| cfhowlett | histo, well aware of that, but thanks. | 06:05 |
| dr_willis | blackshirt: so what is your grep filter supposed to be filtering out? where did you get it from? | 06:05 |
| dr_willis | blackshirt: compare the 2 outputs with and without and see whats differnt | 06:05 |
| `ingsoc | So the first two lines in resolv.conf will be used before the others? | 06:05 |
| `ingsoc | Just to be sure. | 06:06 |
| `ingsoc | If I go down that route. | 06:06 |
| blackshirt | dr_willis: yes, i have do it ... without grep was result 1151 number .. and with grep was 954 | 06:06 |
| blackshirt | dr_willis: i look at output of dpkg -l .. what is rc flags mean in the output ? | 06:07 |
| dr_willis | blackshirt: compare the actual output.. not just the counts... your grep pattern is looking for lines that begin with II which means somthing.. | 06:07 |
| `ingsoc | I can't wait for this install to inevitably break, so I can go back to sid. | 06:07 |
| blackshirt | dr_willis: we know ii was for installed state | 06:07 |
| wiggmpk | `ingsoc: do you see the line in /etc/resolv.conf that says dont edit, your changes will be overwritten? | 06:07 |
| dr_willis | blackshirt: id have to refer you to the apt-get manuals and guides. I dont memorize them | 06:07 |
| `ingsoc | wiggmpk: I edited the head file. | 06:08 |
| Rabblerouser | AND... to boot, I just figured out how to stream both video and audio to Twitch.tv. :D I'm off to stream some Dwarf Fortress or somethin' | 06:08 |
| blackshirt | dr_willis: without grep ^ii there are some rc flag on the output of dpkg -l | 06:09 |
| wiggmpk | `ingsoc: ok, even so, since your "gateway" to the internet is your combo modem/router.... how will your machine know where ANY of the DNS entries you put in there are on the internet? | 06:09 |
| wiggmpk | `ingsoc: its going to use the DNS records on your local network segment, IE: the one's in your router combo | 06:09 |
| `ingsoc | wiggmpk: So I should fix it there first and foremost? | 06:09 |
| wiggmpk | `ingsoc: I think you should either call your ISP and see what their naming servers are | 06:10 |
| `ingsoc | wiggmpk: The ones in my router don't show up when I visit dnsleaktest.com... | 06:10 |
| wiggmpk | `ingsoc: well then you specifically made a change somewhere | 06:12 |
| `ingsoc | wiggmpk: What do you mean? | 06:12 |
| wiggmpk | `ingsoc: because thats not how networking equipment work.. | 06:13 |
| `ingsoc | wiggmpk: I don't follow. | 06:13 |
| `ingsoc | wiggmpk: My router is really bad btw. | 06:13 |
| blackshirt | dr_willis: , i should sure, $dpkg -l | grep ^ii | wc -l should return number of packages currently installed .. is this right ? | 06:14 |
| wiggmpk | `ingsoc: your ISP tells you what your DNS records are.. the DNS tells you where things are on the internet. if there is a contradiction of information, then I cant help you.. because your not providing all the information | 06:14 |
| `ingsoc | wiggmpk: Tbh, I don't know what DNS information is in my router. | 06:14 |
| dr_willis | blackshirt: it will return the # of lines that begin with the ltters 'ii' which aparently is not the only output dpkg -l gives.. so look at dpkg -l output and see what lines DONT begin with ii and see what they are telling you | 06:15 |
| wiggmpk | `ingsoc: so why are you even here? just to waste peoples time? | 06:15 |
| dr_willis | im not on a ubuntu box so cant look at dpkg output | 06:15 |
| rockcket | hi | 06:16 |
| histo | `ingsoc: it's obvisouly googles dns servers or your isp is handing those to your router | 06:16 |
| xiaclo | blackshirt: answered on the debian channel, but will repeat here for others. The 'rc' status in dpkg -l means you have installed the package, and removed it, but there is still configuration files on your system from that package | 06:16 |
| rockcket | excuse me | 06:16 |
| `ingsoc | wiggmpk: No, I wanted to know how I can stop Ubuntu from filling resolv.conf with crap. I have Debian computer and it doesn't do that. | 06:16 |
| rockcket | where are file permissions data stored ? if i want to take backup of that ? | 06:16 |

| wiggmpk | `ingsoc: wiggmpk: The ones in my router don't show up when I visit dnsleaktest.com... | 06:16 |
| wiggmpk | `ingsoc: wiggmpk: Tbh, I don't know what DNS information is in my router. | 06:16 |
| wiggmpk | your wasting peoples time | 06:16 |
| dr_willis | rockcket: they are not stored in a file.. they are part of the file | 06:17 |
| xiaclo | `ingsoc: the easiest way is to edit your resolv.conf the way you want, then run 'chattr +i /etc/resolv.conf' | 06:17 |
| histo | `ingsoc: you'd have to remove the resolvconf package is all | 06:17 |
| dr_willis | !permissions | rockcket | 06:17 |
| ubottu | rockcket: An explanation of what file permissions are and how they can be manipulated can be found at https://help.ubuntu.com/community/FilePermissions | 06:17 |
| `ingsoc | xiaclo: That doesn't work. | 06:17 |
| histo | `ingsoc: sudo apt-get purge resolvconf | 06:17 |
| STMelon | seems nothing is working and nothing is helouing, maybe you should try google | 06:17 |
| rockcket | dr_willis: i backed up my files and folders from 11.04 now did a fresh installation of 12.04 - when i now copy files from the backup in USB to /var/www they do not retain their old permissions. their permissions have all become like 600 | 06:17 |
| cfhowlett | ingsoc you edited the settings and now get EXACTLY the results you programmed in. Reset to defaults or accept responsibility for your own results. Or go to debian. | 06:17 |
| dr_willis | !info resolvconf | 06:17 |
| `ingsoc | histo: Then how will it get DNS information? | 06:17 |
| ubottu | resolvconf (source: resolvconf): name server information handler. In component main, is important. Version 1.67ubuntu2 (quantal), package size 53 kB, installed size 238 kB | 06:17 |
| blackshirt | xiaclo: thanks | 06:17 |
| STMelon | helping*. quit wasting this rooms time thx | 06:17 |
| histo | rockcket: did you preserve their permissions? | 06:18 |
| dr_willis | rockcket: how did you back them up? how did you restore them? | 06:18 |
| histo | `ingsoc: you'd have to specify it yourself | 06:18 |
| histo | `ingsoc: like you do in debian | 06:18 |
| rockcket | i just copied all of them into my USB and now copied from USB to /var/www - dr_willis | 06:18 |
| rockcket | histo: what does that mean ? | 06:18 |
| dr_willis | rockcket: copied HOW..... what command | 06:18 |
| histo | rockcket: how did you copy your files? | 06:18 |
| rockcket | ctrl+c - keyboard | 06:18 |
| `ingsoc | histo: So is there a difference between resolv.conf and the package? | 06:18 |
| dr_willis | rockcket: and what filesystem was on the Usb? | 06:19 |
| rockcket | dr_willis: how can i know that ? | 06:19 |
| histo | `ingsoc: the package is what is auto populating the file | 06:19 |
| histo | `ingsoc: Which i've explained to you several times | 06:19 |
| dr_willis | rockcket: you should learn to use tar. and rsync, and the cp options ... you did not copy the permissions or other info | 06:19 |
| `ingsoc | histo: I don't think you did. | 06:20 |
| dr_willis | rockcket: see how its mounted.. they come preformated with fat32.. that wont save linux permissions | 06:20 |
| rockcket | dr_willis: ctrl+c does not copy permissions ? well you just said permissions are part of the file only | 06:20 |
| rockcket | does $ df -h help in knowing that? | 06:20 |
| dr_willis | rockcket: and a USB flash drive formated to fat32 can not store that info | 06:20 |
| rockcket | so tell me whats the good way to do backups ? | 06:20 |
| histo | `ingsoc: you can scrollback and see or go to the log of this chatroom and search if you don't believe me | 06:20 |
| rockcket | just cp command ? | 06:20 |
| rockcket | or tar.gz and store that in USB ? | 06:21 |
| dr_willis | rockcket: you should learn to use tar. and rsync, and the cp options . | 06:21 |
| rockcket | hm ok i dont know rsync | 06:21 |
| dr_willis | or format the flash to be ext2/3/4 | 06:21 |
| rockcket | will learn thanks | 06:21 |
| rockcket | how do i know file system of USB anyway ? | 06:21 |
| rockcket | ok how to do that ? | 06:21 |
| h4x0rz81 | how canin i reset my root pw? | 06:21 |
| dr_willis | rockcket: sudo blkid may show.. or fdisk -l | 06:21 |
| bazhang | h4x0rz81, you dont. use sudo | 06:21 |
| rockcket | hm ok thanks dr_willis | 06:22 |

| ubottu | rockcket: mount is used to attach devices to directories. See also https://help.ubuntu.com/community/Mount | 06:22 |

| bazhang | h4x0rz81, retrieve what | 06:24 |

| h4x0rz81 | root pw | 06:24 |

| histo | rockcket: yeah a cp command won't preserve priveledges you'dhave to use rsync to do that. | 06:25 |
| h4x0rz81 | ok hang on lol | 06:25 |
| rockcket | histo: i will learn about rsync someday :) | 06:25 |
| rockcket | these are not my things but hopefully will learn hehe | 06:25 |
| histo | rockcket: it's a beautifully powerfull app | 06:25 |
| rockcket | so, now i have 12.04. unity is fine except that when window is maximized the left bar of icons still apear, a little hard to work with. also close buttons goes to top most task bar (or status bar whatever you call it) | 06:26 |
| rockcket | lets see if i get used to it | 06:26 |
| xiaclo | rockcket: cp can copy permissions, use cp -a | 06:27 |
| dr_willis | rockcket: the controls going to the top panel on mazanized windows.. is a feature... | 06:27 |
| dr_willis | rockcket: the left side panel can be set to auto hide | 06:27 |
| rockcket | ok will use cp -a next time thanks xiaclo , did not know :) | 06:28 |
| rockcket | dr_willis: how ? | 06:28 |
| rockcket | well i think it would probably be better to have the left side panel at the bottom to be honest | 06:28 |
| dr_willis | rockcket: i said it can auto hide.. not be moved to the bottom | 06:29 |
| rockcket | and then auto hide/slide when not hovered for few seconds | 06:29 |
| rockcket | just saying | 06:29 |
| uplinx | ok guys, i accidentally made a decision that's gonna drive me deep down the rabbit hole | 06:29 |
| uplinx | i bought 2 nvidia video cards and have 4 monitors | 06:30 |
| uplinx | and i want them to play nice | 06:30 |
| uplinx | any advice? | 06:30 |
| dr_willis | uplinx: if they work with the nvidia drivers properly they should work fine | 06:30 |
| dr_willis | plug them all in.. install nvidia drivers.. run twinview and see | 06:30 |
| dr_willis | well enable twinview. ;) | 06:30 |
| uplinx | dr_willis: that configuration puts me in the untenable position of using xinerama which disables compositing and has the framerate of my dead grandmother | 06:31 |
| rockcket | dr_willis: is this the way http://askubuntu.com/questions/9865/how-can-i-configure-unitys-launcher-auto-hide-behavior/31418#31418 ? | 06:31 |
| dr_willis | rockcket: its just a check box somewhre in the settings. i dont recall where | 06:31 |

| hillary | is there libreoffice 4.0? how can i update my libreoffice 3.5 to that if any? | 06:35 |
| uplinx | any additional suggestions on avoiding xinerama, having compiz, and having 2 nvidia cards with 4 monitors? | 06:36 |
| hillary | sorry librebre 3 not 3.5 | 06:36 |
| rommel092079 | good day guys. I am going to build a server on ubuntu desktop with intel pentium dual core 2ghz processor, 4 gb memory and 500 gb hdd. will mysql server have no problem with it on connectivity with more that 50 clients accessing it on any given time? | 06:36 |
| Gnea | rommel092079: mysql is dead | 06:37 |
| amiu | i hope its a 7200RPM hard drive | 06:37 |
| STMelon | hillary: sudo add-apt-repository ppa:libreoffice/ppa for the latest STABLE libreoffice, it will install base which will install openjdk | 06:37 |
| rommel092079 | Gnea: what do you mean mysql is dead? | 06:37 |
| amiu | MySQL is *not* dead. | 06:37 |
| hdon | hi all :) i am trying to diagnose something that happens when i'm running games. my screen stops updating for a while, mouse and keystrokes go to /dev/null, and my sound buffer doesn't get refilled so it just plays the same sample a few times | 06:38 |
| hdon | i have tried tail -f Xorg.0.log auth.log syslog kern.log messages user.log daemon.log | 06:38 |
| rommel092079 | amiu yes it is 7200rpm | 06:38 |
| hdon | absolutely no clues | 06:38 |
| hdon | anywhere else i can look? | 06:38 |
| rommel092079 | amiu: can I do that on ubutn desktop ? | 06:38 |
| Gnea | amiu: on the open source front, yes it is. MariaDB is the derivative. | 06:38 |
| rommel092079 | Gnea: what do you mean mysql is dead? | 06:39 |
| amiu | yeah but i would recommend xfce over unity | 06:39 |
| hillary | STMelon, yes i have run the command and it is created. Next i do? | 06:39 |
| rommel092079 | i need your suggestions guys please | 06:39 |
| xiaclo | Gnea: that's like saying debian is dead because ubuntu exists | 06:39 |
| amiu | MariaDB is far from over taking MySQL. it has just won over a couple friends is all | 06:39 |
| STMelon | hillary: sudo apt-get update | 06:39 |
| STMelon | then either do the updates in the update manager or type: sudo apt-get install libreoffice | 06:40 |
| rommel092079 | advice me guys | 06:40 |
| amiu | rommel092079, i would also recommend debian over ubuntu-desktop for server applications | 06:40 |
| rommel092079 | why debian? | 06:40 |
| Gnea | xiaclo: hardly | 06:41 |
| wdp | because in debian mysql is still alive | 06:41 |
| wdp | </scnr> | 06:41 |
| Gnea | rommel092079: actually, ubuntu-server is probably more of what you'll need | 06:41 |
| Gnea | you can still use mysql, of course | 06:41 |
| hillary | STMelon, ok it is updating . I will do "sudo apt-get install libreoffice' | 06:41 |
| dr_willis | uplinx: if you want 4 monitors going at the same time you use Twinview. which is nvidas enhanced xinerama | 06:41 |
| STMelon | hillary are you using gnome or unity for your DE? | 06:41 |
| hillary | unity | 06:42 |
| STMelon | if so, you may need to type sudo apt-get libreoffice-gnome | 06:42 |
| dr_willis | uplinx: i have compoziting when using twinview on 2 monitors... | 06:42 |
| rommel092079 | Gnea: with my hardware specs and ubuntu-server, wont I be having problem with multiple connections around 100 | 06:42 |
| Gnea | rommel092079: that sounds more like a network limitation | 06:42 |
| hillary | STMelon, ok i will do sudo apt-get libreoffice-gnome then | 06:42 |
| STMelon | hillary: but wala! that should give you the latest stable libreoffice | 06:42 |
| amiu | rommel092079, no you wont | 06:43 |
| STMelon | 3.6.2 , if i am corrct, is the latest stable Libreoffice | 06:43 |
| amiu | rommel092079, youd also be better off with debian if your not familiar with ubuntu server | 06:43 |
| rommel092079 | amiu: can you expound please and Gnea: is the a network limitation in ubuntu? | 06:43 |
| hillary | STMelon, hillary@hillary-ESPRIMO-Mobile:~$ sudo apt-get libreoffice-gnome | 06:43 |
| hillary | E: Invalid operation libreoffice-gnome | 06:43 |
| rommel092079 | amiu: can I use debian desktop aside from debian server? | 06:44 |
| dr_willis | use a proper command. ;) | 06:44 |
| STMelon | hillary: suod apt-get install libreoffice-gnome | 06:44 |
| STMelon | hillary: my bad, sorry forgot "install" | 06:44 |
| STMelon | sudo* | 06:44 |
| Gnea | rommel092079: well the idea behind using a server distribution to run a server is just that: it doesn't need a gui. | 06:44 |
| amiu | .......you could yes. why are you so insistent on running a desktop configuration for a server? | 06:44 |
| hillary | STMelon, yes it is installing | 06:45 |
| Faminexv | for me the best way to manage the server is through ssh. I never really have any type of display connected unless I can't ssh in | 06:45 |
| Nach0z | unless you happen to really REALLY like guis, at which point I *might* recommend something like openbox or lxde, that's super lightweight, and an NX server | 06:45 |
| Nach0z | Faminexv: that's the way to do it right thur. | 06:45 |
| rommel092079 | im not really a user of linux. I am more aware of windows. but guys on windows adviced on to use linux for on windows xp has connectivity limit on multiple users. | 06:45 |
| rommel092079 | im not really a user of linux. I am more aware of windows. but guys on windows adviced on to use linux for on amiu: windows xp has connectivity limit on multiple users. | 06:46 |
| amiu | id say xubuntu + xampp if your not ready for -nogui | 06:46 |
| Gnea | rommel092079: well windows xp is a desktop os, not a server os. xubuntu might be a good way to go to keep the bloat down on the gui. | 06:46 |
| rommel092079 | xubuntu? | 06:46 |
| xiaclo | linux has it as well, but only for VERY high connections, 50-100 won't touch a linux box, desktop or not | 06:46 |
| Gnea | !xubuntu | rommel092079 | 06:46 |
| ubottu | rommel092079: Xubuntu is Ubuntu with Xfce as the desktop environment. More info at http://www.xubuntu.org/ - To install from Ubuntu: « sudo apt-get install xubuntu-desktop » - Join #xubuntu for support - See also: !Ubuntu and !Xubuntu-Channels | 06:46 |
| Nach0z | mehhhh. xubuntu is kinda fugly | 06:46 |
| Faminexv | Nach0z: The only way I learned and am glad I did. Makes managing so much easier | 06:46 |
| Nach0z | Faminexv: yeah. I started with GUI and just learned as much as I could about terminal while I still had an interface to fall back on when I messed up | 06:47 |
| amiu | xubuntu is the xfce version of ubuntu (lightweight, uses least amount of ram, cpu, looks like old appleOS) | 06:47 |
| Faminexv | Nach0z: Nice. I just started getting back into linux, I set up a apache2 webserver (easiest thing ever) and am working on setting up an email server to manage my forums and server messages | 06:48 |
| dr_willis | !info lubuntu | 06:48 |
| ubottu | Package lubuntu does not exist in quantal | 06:48 |
| dr_willis | !lubuntu | 06:48 |
| ubottu | lubuntu is Ubuntu with LXDE instead of !GNOME as desktop environment, which makes it extremely lightweight. See https://wiki.ubuntu.com/Lubuntu - /join #lubuntu for lubuntu support. | 06:48 |
| Nach0z | Faminexv: go with nginx >__> | 06:48 |
| Faminexv | lubuntu is nice if you want lightweight | 06:48 |
| rommel092079 | amiu: will that suffice and dont have limitations on multiple users? | 06:48 |
| Nach0z | j/s | 06:48 |
| bazhang | amiu, that would be lubuntu these days. xubuntu is not much lighter | 06:48 |
| Nach0z | but yeah I gotta go to sleep, it's almost 2 AM and I gotta be up early. | 06:48 |
| Faminexv | Nach0z: alright man, take it easy | 06:48 |
| Faminexv | @lubuntu question: it's a pretty decent light weight lubuntu and it's easy to use and manage. | 06:49 |
| Faminexv | I reccomend that over xubuntu and kubuntu for sure | 06:49 |
| Faminexv | if i could spell today | 06:49 |
| amiu | lxde is fugly. xfce is nicer. | 06:49 |
| Faminexv | It's all personal at that point. If that's the case just install xfce lol | 06:50 |

| spyzer | what i essentially want to ask is if i revert to some other version of ubuntu instead of the latest can this bug be resolved for me? | 07:19 |
| chaz68 | Was trying Java 7 download via webup8team repository and getting this error: http://paste.ubuntu.com/1623556/ | 07:19 |
| chaz68 | What's up here? | 07:19 |
| spyzer | because it was not present in those versions | 07:19 |
| cfhowlett | spyzer, possibly ... | 07:19 |
| cfhowlett | spyzer, that said this is on raring? not even in beta yet! ask in #ubuntu+1 | 07:20 |
| OerHeks | chaz68, ask the owner of that PPA, as ppa's are not supported here. | 07:22 |
| chaz68 | Any ubuntu supported way to install Java7 without PPA? | 07:22 |

| STMelon | chaz68: try this .. add this to your source list . update manager/settings/other software/add ------> deb http://www.duinsoft.nl/pkg debs all | 07:24 |
| STMelon | chaz68: then type in terminal: sudo apt-key adv --keyserver keys.gnupg.net --recv-keys 5CB26B26 | 07:24 |
| STMelon | then in terminal sudo apt-get update | 07:25 |

| jnhghy | Hi, is there a way to make php/python access(read and write) to a file in /etc/cron.monthly ? | 07:25 |
| STMelon | chaz68: http://www.duinsoft.nl/packages.php?t=en website i got the info from for oracle java in ubuntu | 07:26 |
| Senjai | jnhghy: is there a way to make php/python read and write to a file? | 07:26 |
| MatthewL | yes, jnhghy, there is | 07:27 |
| Senjai | MatthewL: nuuu, I was about to have him discover his own asnwer | 07:27 |
| Senjai | jnhghy: yes, there is, but that question is for ##php or the python equivilant | 07:27 |
| chaz68 | STMelon: Thanx a bunch... trying it now... | 07:27 |
| jnhghy | MatthewL: thanks for the your reply, any sugestions? | 07:28 |
| MatthewL | jnhghy: brb | 07:28 |
| STMelon | mind you java is very vulnerable these days | 07:28 |
| STMelon | I do not even have it installed | 07:28 |
| chaz68 | I know. Will run only on desktop and disable in browser. | 07:28 |
| jnhghy | Senjai: I know how to read and right in a file, the issue is the OS because php/python doesn't have permission to write in /etc/cron.monthly, it's not sudo | 07:29 |
| Senjai | jnhghy: then maybe you should change the permissions of /etc/cron.monthly hmm? | 07:29 |
| STMelon | ok , this is another site i got it from, i scrolled down to the script version which gave me the site i posted above | 07:29 |
| STMelon | chaz68: https://help.ubuntu.com/community/Java | 07:29 |

| STMelon | If your system has more than one version of Java, configure which one your system uses by entering the following command in a terminal window | 07:30 |
| STMelon | sudo update-alternatives --config java | 07:30 |
| STMelon | ^^ | 07:30 |
| jnhghy | Senjai: I sense some sarcasm? :), have you watched to much Dr.House or you just don't like helping? :) | 07:30 |
| MatthewL | jnhghy: http://php.net/manual/en/function.file.php | 07:30 |
| jnhghy | Thanks MatthewL | 07:30 |
| Senjai | jnhghy: I like helping, but Im not going to tell you the answer, I'd rather help you work through it. | 07:30 |
| chaz68 | Looks like the webupd8team's suppository crapped the bed pretty hard... | 07:30 |
| chaz68 | :-) | 07:30 |
| Senjai | jnhghy: we are not a repository of : do this and get this | 07:30 |
| RollinV2 | man chown, man chmod | 07:31 |
| Senjai | jnhghy: we help you learn, whether or not you're willing to is your problem | 07:31 |
| jnhghy | Senjai: "then maybe you should change the permissions of /etc/cron.monthly hmm?" this is you not giving me the answer and helping me work throw it? | 07:31 |
| MatthewL | jnhghy: btw, I just referred you to php documentation. | 07:31 |
| Senjai | jnhghy: I just did | 07:31 |
| jnhghy | MatthewL I saw | 07:31 |
| Senjai | jnhghy: Now go find out how to change the read write permissions on a file | 07:31 |
| MatthewL | google is our friend | 07:31 |
| Senjai | jnhghy: I brought you from can php do x, to how do i change the permissions on a file so php can do x | 07:31 |

| crazybrain | I am using an broadband connection which offers unlimited downloading during offnet hours(02:00AM to 08:00am).But i had to give up my sleep in order to download something.. | 07:32 |
| crazybrain | Is there any tool which can automatically connect to the router and start downloading at 2am to 8am? | 07:32 |
| jnhghy | Senjai: It is a good idea the permission, didn't know it comes without risk but this is it for know. | 07:32 |
| crazybrain | I am using Ubuntu 12.10 | 07:32 |
| RollinV2 | crazybrain, on windows there is jdownloader. i think it has a linux version | 07:32 |
| MatthewL | file processing in Linux is a whole diff animal. Kind of required jnhghy | 07:32 |
| Senjai | jnhghy: it doesnt, you're opening up access to php, if you run a malicious php script to input malicious script into your cron files, your cron can run malicious tasks | 07:32 |
| chaz68 | STMelon: This www.duinsoft.nl deal seems to be working fine. Thanks for the alternative download / install... | 07:33 |
| STMelon | np | 07:33 |
| jnhghy | Thanks for the help MatthewL, Senjai; | 07:33 |
| crazybrain | RollinV2: i want something that can connect to the router at 2am and automatically start downloading | 07:34 |
| crazybrain | I am using PPoE | 07:34 |
| maxb | Giving anyone other than root access to write to /etc/cron.* is effectively giving them the ability to run arbitrary commands as root, i.e. distinctly unwise | 07:34 |
| s3r3n1t7 | jnhghy, if you want to echo stuff into a write protected file: write it to a temp file, verify it, verify it again, and again, then move it with a script that you set to write protected (so that script cant be edited) .... but just writing from php to such a file is way to dangerous | 07:34 |
| jnhghy | s3r3n1t7: thanks for the heads up | 07:35 |
| RollinV2 | crazybrain, you could write a python/ruby script to wget or curl the downloads. then set it to fire with a cron job at 2am | 07:36 |
| RollinV2 | crazybrain, but i cant think of any other apps aside from jdownloader. maybe someone else will know. | 07:36 |
| chaz68 | Anybody running an ajaxplorer server here? | 07:36 |
| s3r3n1t7 | crazybrain, use the at command | 07:37 |
| chaz68 | Figured out Pear and all the setups for all the plugins with the exception of access.S3 plugin. | 07:37 |
| crazybrain | at command??? | 07:37 |
| s3r3n1t7 | the command: at | 07:38 |
| crazybrain | at what? | 07:38 |
| crazybrain | btw i am using ZTE 531B router | 07:38 |
| roger_ | type in terminal, "man at" | 07:38 |
| Senjai | s3r3n1t7: jnhghy: you're right, but as long as this is just for learning it shouldnt be too vulnreble. You could also configure cron to only execute certain files. | 07:39 |
| chaz68 | Trying to configure access.S3 plugin here: http://ajaxplorer.info/plugins/access/s3/ | 07:39 |
| chaz68 | Anyone conquer that one yet? | 07:39 |
| s3r3n1t7 | Senjai, even for learning you should always use a best practice, else later when it's a real world situation you'd still make the same mistakes :-) | 07:39 |
| crazybrain | roger_: what it will do? | 07:40 |
| Senjai | s3r3n1t7: you're right. | 07:40 |
| s3r3n1t7 | When im doing apt-get update, the downloads go real quick. 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? :) | 07:40 |
| ns5 | how to query the changelog of a package? | 07:40 |
| jnhghy | Senjai: this is not only for learning, that's why I come to this place to get correct answers or to get myself redirected to correct answers so if there is anything else I should know please don't keep it from me. :) | 07:40 |
| roger_ | crazy: "man at" will tell you about the at command | 07:41 |

| hillary_ | I dont know what i have done to my desktop 12.04. The screen is upside down and left facing. any one to help me restore? | 07:50 |
| sqrt7744 | hillary_, were you playing with xrandr | 07:50 |
| Nexus7-Ubuntu | yo | 07:51 |
| hillary_ | sqrt7744, I even not aware what i did !! | 07:52 |
| sqrt7744 | hillary_, oh. Well if you can turn your head sideways for long enough to open the "Displays" program, you can set the rotation there. | 07:53 |
| hillary_ | sqrt7744, i dont understand ?? | 07:55 |
| aeon-ltd | hillary_: use the monitor as it is, then change the settings | 07:56 |
| roger_ | I have some questions that are basically just out of curiosity. Is there a noticeable hit to performance of win apps under wine? | 07:56 |
| hillary_ | aeon-ltd, ok let me try | 07:57 |
| s3r3n1t7 | roger_, it's always somewhat slower due to more steps for the same result | 07:59 |
| roger_ | s3r3n1t7: so dual boot is still the best route...? | 07:59 |
| s3r3n1t7 | roger_, pure performance wise ont he same application? yeah | 08:00 |
| amiu | your better off running windows in a linux virtual machine | 08:00 |
| amiu | use virtualbox or kvm to run windows | 08:00 |
| s3r3n1t7 | amiu, even then there still is that performance hit due | 08:00 |
| aeon-ltd | if you have the dvd/iso, just dual boot. unless security or convenience is really necessary | 08:01 |
| roger_ | cool cool.. another question | 08:01 |
| amiu | then youll have to restart the computer every time you want to switch between a linux app and a windows app | 08:01 |
| aeon-ltd | amiu: the performance gains are worth it, unless you're running i5/7 with 8gb+ ram and a decent gpu + maybe a ssd | 08:02 |
| nodaut | Would this be the right place to ask about sql injection? | 08:03 |

| amiu | nope | 08:03 |
| nodaut | Alright. Thanks | 08:03 |
| roger_ | I played around with a mac a few months back and did some terminal like stuff with it.. I'm assuming linux/unix type of terminal.. Does that mean all the Mac OS's are basically like distro's of linux? | 08:03 |
| amiu | #mysql or #backtrack or one of the other info sec rooms | 08:03 |
| nodaut | #mysql | 08:03 |
| nodaut | okie dokie | 08:03 |
| aeon-ltd | roger_: no, but they are unix based | 08:03 |
| aeon-ltd | different kernels | 08:04 |
| roger_ | aeon-ltd: ok.. so unix distro's? | 08:04 |
| amiu | posix yes, linux no. closer relation to bsd | 08:04 |
| aeon-ltd | roger_: porting is easy but not perfect (for cli based apps anyway) | 08:04 |

| savagecroc | any character any sequence etc | 08:26 |
| bekks | savagecroc: What exactly are you trying to do? Which file do you want to change? | 08:27 |
| amiu | any one ever come across an .ecm file and got it working? | 08:27 |
| dr_willis | echo has some binary echo option i recall. or use a language like perl or pythn to print the string.. but it sounds weird to me sav | 08:27 |

| woo | hi nicck_ | 08:29 |
| savagecroc | bekks: i'm trying to dump a 10000 character file | 08:30 |
| bolvary | dr_willis: when i have the option to choose recovery mode, but normally just gives me the 'laptop login' screen. | 08:30 |
| savagecroc | bekks: through an ssh channel | 08:30 |
| dr_willis | savagecroc: the bash command line has a character limit.. i doubt if that will work | 08:30 |
| savagecroc | dr_willis: i'm not sure if it's using bash | 08:30 |
| woo | what bash? | 08:31 |
| savagecroc | woo: ssh channel not a bash | 08:31 |
| dr_willis | savagecroc: i think we need more details as to what you are doing.. bash is the default shwll on ubuntu for users.. sh for system stuff | 08:32 |
| lxrt | i am getting this error when i tried to mount my external hard drive "mount: /dev/fd0 is not a valid block device" | 08:32 |
| dr_willis | lxrt: fd0 is a floppy drive | 08:32 |
| lxrt | dr_willis: not it 500G external hard drive | 08:32 |
| savagecroc | dr_willis: i'm using a programming library called Net::SSH in ruby 1.9.3 to connect to an ubuntu 10.04 server. I have a configuration file in memory and i'm trying to dump it on the server via using a command | 08:33 |
| dr_willis | lxrt: i doubt if its on /dev/fd0 then | 08:33 |
| dr_willis | lxrt: see what 'sudo blkid' says about it | 08:33 |
| savagecroc | now.. i could dump it locally, and then use an scp command to copy it up.. but hmmm | 08:33 |
| woo | ssh'd into /bin/?? | 08:33 |
| dr_willis | ruby is supposed to have features taht can do stuff like that savagecroc i belve.. i only have touched ruby slightly | 08:34 |
| woo | ruby is a web protocol | 08:34 |
| lxrt | dr_willis: this is the output of blkid /dev/sda1: UUID="09f0c58f-f18f-4a29-a852-31dd93392f14" TYPE="ext4" | 08:34 |
| savagecroc | woo: no it's not, it's a scripting language | 08:34 |
| dr_willis | im pretty sure ruby can do network communications. | 08:34 |
| woo | oh the way I understood it was that its just easy access points | 08:35 |
| savagecroc | dr_willis: yeah the Net:SSH has various functions.. nothing about dumping files from strings in memory to local then | 08:35 |
| === piotr_ is now known as DeedlitWork | ||
| dr_willis | lxrt: so your system is seeing a single partion on sda1 . no fd0 | 08:35 |

| woo | scripts used to make things easier to remember | 08:35 |
| lxrt | dr_willis: it seeing the hard drive too... it show up there but cant mount it | 08:35 |
| savagecroc | woo: haha, yeah i use scripts to basically document linux commands | 08:36 |
| dr_willis | lxrt: shows up where? your output showed exxatly one hard drive seen on the system... what does 'sudo fdisk -l' say? does it show more then just sda1 ? | 08:36 |
| savagecroc | e.g.. def start; sudo "service postgresql start"; end | 08:36 |

| jennie | I installed 'keyboard and mouse' and 'mouse and touchpad' from ubuntu software center but I am unable to locate / open them , please tell how do I open them ? | 08:38 |
| dr_willis | jennie: a batter question is why did you ionmstall them? | 08:39 |
| lxrt | itdr_willis: fdisk -l shows only sda partition but iin the GUI device section show floppy disk, but actualy is a 500G external hard drive | 08:40 |
| woo | jennie: I would just check the history in the ubuntu software center and look for the command. may be | 08:40 |
| jennie | I want to accelerate mouse motion , mouse is too slow and default option in ubuntu are not making it fast | 08:40 |
| dr_willis | lxrt: i think you are confused.. its showing a floppy disk. because you have a Floppy controller on the pc.. thats NOT saying its a external hard drive. | 08:40 |
| dr_willis | lxrt: fdisk and blkid both show that only one hard drive is being seen | 08:40 |
| dr_willis | lxrt: normally when you plug in a usb hard drive.. it auto mounts and pops up a dialog/file manager window to show its contents | 08:42 |
| woo | lxrt: are you scripting this into a program or could you use a gui? | 08:42 |
| lxrt | dr_willis: what is i am using ubuntu on VMware work station | 08:43 |
| lxrt | woo: i could use GUI | 08:43 |
| woo | lxrt: have you tired gparted? | 08:43 |
| dr_willis | lxrt: so check its settings.. sounds like you have a floppy controller enabled on it.. or somthing.. in any case a hard drive woul dbe a sd # not a fd # | 08:43 |

| dr_willis | so ive said the same thing 4 times now.. its not seeing your hard drive,.. | 08:53 |

| nomike | ThinkT510, thanks. But from this a few questions arise: | 09:37 |
| nomike | If I put some search domains in the network properties in system preferences and they don't show up in "/etc/resolv.conf" this is a bug, right? | 09:38 |
| iceroot | nomike: no | 09:39 |
| iceroot | nomike: Dynamic resolv.conf(5) file for glibc resolver(3) generated by resolvconf(8) | 09:40 |
| iceroot | nomike: it will be handled directly from network-manager and the internal dns-server | 09:40 |
| nomike | ah..ok..so If I add a search domain there, it is used by dnsmasq running on localhsot | 09:41 |
| iceroot | nomike: should be, yes | 09:41 |
| kepler | i just disabled dnsmasq - comment out 'dns=dnsmasq' in /etc/NetworkManager/NetworkManager.conf | 09:43 |
| kepler | then sudo service network-manager restart | 09:43 |
| === Guest71471 is now known as DaZ | ||

| TomyLaptop | that's debatable and not to the point | 09:54 |
| TomyLaptop | ayzaaz17, i wouldnt know. what's wrong with using xchat or something? :) | 09:55 |

| defekt | 6 | 09:57 |
| dr_willis | theres several id3tag tools in the repos | 09:57 |
| TomyLaptop | an update does more than a fresh install. migrate old config and such | 09:58 |
| iceroot | TomyLaptop: no | 09:58 |
| cfhowlett | raven, software center search for id3. no shortage of candidates | 09:58 |
| iceroot | TomyLaptop: that is part of the postinst and preinst | 09:58 |
| nomike | TomyLaptop, also a fresh install does migrate old config and such. The only thing is, there is no old config to migrate | 09:58 |
| iceroot | TomyLaptop: its a normal installation and the migration is implemented in the postinst and not in apt-get | 09:59 |
| TomyLaptop | ah | 09:59 |
| iceroot | TomyLaptop: and the postinst will be executed on install, upgrade, dist-upgrade | 09:59 |
| TomyLaptop | ok that was the basis of my conclusion | 09:59 |
| TomyLaptop | still, updating existing packages from verified sources is less harmful than installing new ones | 10:00 |
| ndee | I just got a new server (12.04 LTS) and added a package list from an existing server (10.04 LTS). I did that with dselect --get-selections (10.04), then dpkg --set-selections < package-list and then dselect and choose install. Now I have following error message: http://pastebin.com/LkbuQ3XS <-- what's the best way to remove that libxslt1-dev package? | 10:00 |
| TomyLaptop | ayzaaz17, https://www.google.de/search?q=pidgin+irc | 10:01 |
| bekks | TomyLaptop: Thats not true. You dont know wether a package might break your system or not. It is not dependant on wether it is an installation or an update. | 10:01 |
| Oins | Is there a package like the juniper web vpn. I'm searching for a VPN solution which works over https. Something like https://myVpnIP/goto/google.de brings me to google.de, tunneled over my server, for example. | 10:05 |
| TomyLaptop | bekks, that's a highly theoretical chance of the developer, maintainer and everyone else looking at it messing up, versus the person installing unauthorized software | 10:06 |
| bekks | TomyLaptop: But it doesnt change the fact, that you just have to trust the package maintainer whenever installing or updating a package. | 10:06 |

| TomyLaptop | do you understand the distinction, bekks? | 10:10 |

| dr_willis | nomike i think mine does.. im not at home to check | 10:10 |
| kepler | nomike: just disable it and be done with it | 10:11 |
| bekks | TomyLaptop: No. The point of this discussion is/was that an installation is the same technical process and there is no distinction neither in technical details nor in trusting/not-trusting a package just because it is an installation/update. | 10:11 |

| arcimboldo | my guess is yes, since exec need to replace the current process | 10:21 |
| llutz | arcimboldo: if there is a builtin, it will be used. use /path/to/cmd to make sure its not using builtins | 10:21 |
| TomyLaptop | Soban, on packages.ubuntu.org i think | 10:21 |
| arcimboldo | llutz, I can't, because I cannot know where the binary is in advance | 10:21 |
| arcimboldo | it's a software that needs to connect via ssh on a remote machine, and cannot know what operating system is | 10:21 |

| arcimboldo | TomyLaptop, I don't think which is in the posix standard | 10:22 |

| bekks | pishkur: Yes. You have to have lightdm installed before. | 10:29 |
| johnkingbinger | you think its a power issue>? how so when its working fine on windows? | 10:30 |
| arcimboldo | iceroot, I asked there after you suggested me to move there :) | 10:30 |
| pishkur | bekks, cant seem to find it in ubuntu software center | 10:30 |
| dr_willis | lightdm is installed by default on ubuntu | 10:30 |
| iceroot | arcimboldo: ok :) | 10:30 |
| pishkur | ah ok | 10:30 |
| TomyBook | startx? oh crap, reminds me of starting windows 3.1 | 10:30 |
| pishkur | yeah, been a while since i was on linux :D | 10:31 |
| bekks | pishkur: The software center implies that you already have working X, which was started by lightdm. | 10:31 |
| dr_willis | !info lightdm | 10:31 |

| Dimitri_J | Can someone perhaps personally assist me in mounting homdirs from active directory to my linux workstation? :) Pm me :). Thank you in advance | 10:31 |
| johnkingbinger | i just dont understand why wont any linux distro detect my usb ports it just shuts them off | 10:31 |
| johnkingbinger | i have a 500wat power supply | 10:31 |
| TomyBook | that doesnt mean anything | 10:32 |
| johnkingbinger | but they are working fine now that im on windows now all ports work fine so it has to be a bug in linux | 10:32 |
| TomyBook | IF power is an issue, it matters how many devices are connected to the usb port and how much power they draw | 10:32 |
| dr_willis | Dimitri_J: you mean mounting windows shares> thas dosable with the file manager or fstab entries and the smbfs package | 10:32 |
| TomyBook | johnkingbinger, so, does the mouse light up when in the bios? | 10:33 |
| johnkingbinger | i only have 1 the mouse my keyboard is connected to the ps2 port | 10:33 |
| johnkingbinger | yes the mouse works fine everywhere else but when i boot up into any linux the light turns off | 10:33 |
| bekks | pishkur: There is no reason to ask in an unsolicited query. Keep it in the channel please. | 10:33 |
| johnkingbinger | i thought maybe it was my bios causeing a bug because it is fairly new | 10:34 |
| TomyBook | johnkingbinger, what's your hardware | 10:34 |
| pishkur | hmm ok | 10:34 |
| dr_willis | brand new just reelased hardware is ofteh the most problematic in linux | 10:34 |
| kunji | johnkingbinger: So you can get to a terminal with the keyboard, right? So run lsusb and see if the mouse is in the output, if so, then it is detected, but is more likely some sort of button mismapping or driver issue | 10:34 |
| floogy | Hi, I want to reach teamviewer after wake on lan, but it only starts automatically after login :P How to achieve that before login, e.g. to show me the gdm login window? | 10:34 |
| johnkingbinger | can i do this from the live cd ? @kunji | 10:35 |
| TomyBook | floogy, is xrdp not working for you? | 10:35 |
| kunji | johnkingbinger: yes | 10:35 |
| johnkingbinger | ok i will give that a go | 10:35 |
| johnkingbinger | because windows is just to unsecure for me | 10:35 |
| floogy | TomyBook, I didn't tried yet. | 10:35 |
| TomyBook | i'm not going to recommend xrdp since it messes up keyboard layouts, but it worked out of the box for me | 10:36 |
| dawkirst | Hi there. Just downloaded the ADT for Ubuntu 12.04. The bundled Eclipse doesn't seem the launch. Am I missing any dependencies? | 10:36 |
| kunji | johnkingbinger: The ctrl+alt+t should open a terminal, if not, then do ctrl+alt+f1 to get a non-gui terminal, log in and run the command | 10:36 |
| TomyBook | and if you use the vnc connector, you can steal its vnc session :P | 10:36 |
| johnkingbinger | how do i return back to the gui @kunji? | 10:36 |
| TomyBook | ctrl alt f7 usually | 10:37 |
| kunji | johnkingbinger: ctrl+alt+f7 | 10:37 |
| floogy | TomyBook, so vnc is unsecure? | 10:37 |
| johnkingbinger | ok brb | 10:37 |
| floogy | What about NX? | 10:37 |
| TomyBook | floogy, it asks for the password when you steal the session | 10:37 |
| TomyBook | if it's otherwise secure, i dont know | 10:37 |
| TomyBook | i havent evaluated that | 10:38 |
| bekks | floogy: Yes, VNC is insecure and you should ALWAYS tunnel it through ssh, which is what NX does. | 10:38 |
| Steven2 | hello | 10:38 |
| TomyBook | i'm very very sure that at one point realvnc was unsecure | 10:38 |
| TomyBook | because i've had some script log into my vnc server and open a terminal | 10:39 |
| floogy | Hi, bekks, thank you. So you would suggest using NX over all other alternatives, I guess? | 10:39 |
| bekks | floogy: Yes. | 10:39 |
| TomyBook | that was on windows | 10:39 |
| poq | How to download all packages with dependecies if they are already installed on my machine? | 10:39 |
| poq | apt cache is empty | 10:39 |
| TomyBook | luckily i was typing stuff while it did that so it didnt get to drop its payload | 10:39 |
| floogy | Ok, thank you. Alsoi I think it might be the fastest remote solution. | 10:39 |
| dr_willis | poq: redownlad them you mean? | 10:39 |
| kunji | johnkingbinger: I'm guessing you don't have another one on you just now, but the easiest thing to try is another mouse. That command will verify whether or not it's detected, unfortunately that's as far as my knowledge of usb troubleshooting goes (well, except that the events also turn up in the dmesg log). | 10:40 |
| poq | dr_willis: yes without installing (they are already installed on my PC but I want to install it on other) | 10:40 |
| johnkingbinger | @kunji i tryed another mouse | 10:40 |
| johnkingbinger | same thing happen | 10:40 |
| johnkingbinger | the led stays on untilli boot into linux | 10:40 |
| floogy | bekks, but I need a windows client to. Does that exists for NX? Ok, I'll look into it on their website... | 10:40 |
| dr_willis | !freenx | 10:41 |
| ubottu | FreeNX is advanced remote desktop technology. For more information and install instructions, see https://help.ubuntu.com/community/FreeNX | 10:41 |
| bekks | floogy: Of course. | 10:41 |
| dr_willis | theres nx then theres freenx ;) | 10:41 |
| TomyBook | bekks, do you have more details on this maybe? can the authentication process be circumvented? or can it just be tapped cause it's unencrypted? | 10:41 |
| kunji | johnkingbinger: Hmm, no idea then, sorry. | 10:41 |
| floogy | thanks to all. | 10:41 |

| cfhowlett | matthewvz, greetings | 10:42 |
| TomyBook | cause again that's 2 vastly different levels of unsecure. the former allows J random hacker to access my pc, while the later merely allows a malicious wiretapper to do so | 10:42 |

| bekks | TomyBook: bruteforcing an 8-character PW isnt that hard besides the fact that just removing the password storage file is sufficient to have no auth anymore. | 10:42 |

| jeetpei | Hi all i have a problem .. when i supply ssh command it does not works .. but if i run using full path "usr/bin/ssh it works .. any solution ? | 10:47 |
| TomyBook | bekks, you said "vnc is insecure". VNC is a protocol | 10:47 |
| Nahiyan | jeetpei: can you try /usr/bin/ssh? | 10:47 |
| jrib | jeetpei: what is the output of « echo $PATH »? | 10:47 |
| ThinkT510 | TomyBook: as is ftp, that is also rather insecure | 10:48 |
| Nahiyan | ThinkT510: I don't think they're supposed to be | 10:48 |
| jeetpei | PATH=$PATH:$HOME/bin:/usr/bin | 10:48 |
| bekks | TomyBook: This meta-discussion get totally unrelated to the support issue that VNC should not be used without a secured tunnel. | 10:48 |
| Nahiyan | .. | 10:48 |
| TomyBook | ThinkT510, but bruteforcing the password is not one of its inherent weaknesses | 10:48 |
| jrib | jeetpei: well there you go. How are you setting your PATH? | 10:48 |
| jeetpei | in .bashrc | 10:49 |
| jrib | jeetpei: and you are sure that "echo $PATH" returned what you said above exactly? | 10:49 |
| jrib | jeetpei: pastebin your ~/.bashrc | 10:49 |
| bekks | TomyBook: The fact that the password is unencrypted, and the fact that there is no auth delay AND the fact that eases up a brute force attack is pretty close related to "the inherent weakness of VNC". | 10:49 |
| TomyBook | bruteforcing the password can always be prevented, except from people who have access to the password hash | 10:50 |

| kunji | bekks: Right, I advised he run it to rule out that it isn't being detected at all, he is having problems with usb devices though (mice in particular so far), they may be a driver problem, or usb controller, etc... That's as far as I know to troubleshoot that though. | 11:02 |

| TomyBook | savagecroc, to be precise, apt will install updated kernels, but it will not run them | 11:22 |
| savagecroc | ah right | 11:22 |
| TomyBook | to run them, you need to reboot (short answer) | 11:23 |
| savagecroc | will it tell you if it needs a reboot? | 11:23 |
| TomyBook | if you're using a gui, it likely will | 11:23 |
| savagecroc | nah | 11:23 |
| TomyBook | but running things for a year somehow tells me you're not :) | 11:23 |
| savagecroc | command line | 11:23 |
| TomyBook | then it won't tell you | 11:23 |
| bekks | savagecroc: No. | 11:25 |
| TomyBook | savagecroc, cat /proc/version shows you the currently running kernel. ls /boot shows you what's installed. | 11:25 |
| TomyBook | you could probably write a small bash script from there | 11:26 |

| savagecroc | so ls.. the stuff look for /initrd.img-3.2.0-(\d*)-generic/ then see if that's larger than the number in /proc/version | 11:35 |

| savagecroc | later this year i want to get a swarm style setup, where one box has all of it's user data migrated to other nodes, then upgrades itself | 11:36 |
| savagecroc | then runs a bunch of app-tests | 11:36 |
| TomyBook | since, as a precaution, kernel packages are never uninstalled automatically | 11:36 |
| savagecroc | then re-joins the swarm | 11:36 |
| TomyBook | neat | 11:37 |
| savagecroc | we have to do the migration thing anyway.. i.e. if you are user A and you access from london all the time.. we might as well stick you on a server n | 11:38 |
| savagecroc | near you. | 11:38 |
| savagecroc | and if your in china.. you HAVE to be served by a server inside china.. otherwise it'll be shit slow | 11:38 |

| dr_willis | thats weird Adriannom . Try just a simple 'sudo adduser billgates' :) se eif that one works | 11:56 |
| jrib | the_drow: by "root user", you mean the first user you created during install, named something other than "root" right? | 11:56 |
| the_drow | jrib: yup | 11:56 |
| the_drow | jrib: I can't create another one using the guest account obviously. | 11:56 |
| Adriannom | breaker313, good point, i forgot unity existed after installing gnome fallback | 11:56 |
| Adriannom | dr_willis, ok | 11:57 |
| jrib | the_drow: ok, it's confusing to call that the root user. What do you want to do now? Re-enable the account or create a new one? You're going to have to do either action by accessing recovery mode from the grub menu | 11:57 |
| Adriannom | breaker313, actually, looks like i removed unity | 11:57 |
| the_drow | jrib: already tried that, recovery mode isn't working | 11:57 |
| breaker313 | Adriannom: hm | 11:57 |
| jrib | the_drow: define "isn't working" | 11:58 |
| celestialform | by the way, how to easily remove unity? | 11:58 |
| the_drow | jrib: I have a refabricated Toshiba CS850. It's not booting. It can't load the drivers correctly | 11:58 |
| jrib | the_drow: how do you boot normally? | 11:59 |
| cfhowlett | celestialform, why remove? just don't use it. You can boot or add other DE's | 11:59 |
| cfhowlett | !nounity|celestialform, | 11:59 |
| ubottu | celestialform,: Ubuntu 11.10 and higher use GNOME 3 with the !unity shell by default. To use GNOME Shell instead, install the "gnome-shell" package and investigate "gnome-tweak-tool". For GNOME Fallback mode, which is similar to GNOME 2, install "gnome-panel". Both packages will place entries in the Sessions dropdown. Using Natty? See !classic | 11:59 |
| the_drow | jrib: with the normal mode it works | 11:59 |
| HankHendrix | Free Charles-like tool that can limit perceived bandwidth???? | 12:00 |
| Adriannom | dr_willis, same problem with adduser | 12:00 |
| the_drow | jrib: I believe that the drivers are causing trouble in recovery mode (got no wifi access because the driver for ubuntu is way too new) | 12:00 |
| jrib | the_drow: strange that recovery mode would not work. Anyway, you can use a live cd, mount your install, chroot to it, and modify your user that way | 12:00 |
| celestialform | Using gnome-shell already but thanks for the answers | 12:00 |
| jrib | the_drow: but you don't need wifi | 12:00 |
| Phryq | http://pastiebin.com/?page=p&id=5114e8cfe7089 | 12:00 |
| Phryq | anyone know how to solve that error? | 12:00 |
| dr_willis | Adriannom: so all the desktops fail for the new users? | 12:01 |
| Adriannom | yup | 12:01 |
| Adriannom | same after restart, and original account still fine | 12:01 |
| dr_willis | Adriannom: ok.. try somthing weird? :) install jwm, see if just a basic window manager works for them | 12:02 |
| dr_willis | !info jwm | 12:02 |
| ubottu | jwm (source: jwm): very small lightweight pure X11 window manager with tray and menus. In component universe, is optional. Version 2.1.0-3 (quantal), package size 116 kB, installed size 294 kB | 12:02 |
| dr_willis | if jwm fails for them.. then somthing is definatly very weird. You could check the users .Xauthority file in their home directory. it should be owned by them and not root. | 12:03 |
| Adriannom | jwm works fine | 12:03 |
| Adriannom | permissions all fine | 12:03 |
| dr_willis | thats a good sign i guess.. | 12:03 |
| dr_willis | you are doing all this logging in via LightDm correct? | 12:04 |
| Adriannom | yup | 12:04 |
| dr_willis | so Unity fail. GNome-fallback fail, jwm works.. tried any others? | 12:05 |
| Adriannom | didn't try unity on the new account, but yes it failed in its own way ;) | 12:05 |
| Adriannom | nope but if jwm works doesn't that point to gnome? | 12:06 |
| Adriannom | i can try others if it helps | 12:06 |
| dr_willis | you could try going to the console. stopping lightdm, and do a 'startx' and see any error messages seem to appear. | 12:06 |
| dr_willis | its pointing to a gnomeish issue.. but not sure what. | 12:06 |
| Adriannom | hm ok, i kill it from ps ax right? | 12:07 |

| craigbass1976 | I keep getting prompted for a keyring password, and it's not taking. Which password is it looking for, my user? | 12:19 |
| Adriannom | i'm trying to change a uid on another account, but it complains that the account is logged in. it isn't... | 12:20 |
| deitarion | Is there anywhere in the default HTTP root where I can drop a replacement 404 message and the default Apache config will pick it up? | 12:20 |
| Adriannom | also i deleted a user account and it complained the same, this user is logged in. tried it with several other accounts and the same happened. none of them are logged in | 12:21 |
| Adriannom | any ideas? | 12:21 |
| manjush | I am trying to find lisp programmers.Is there any way that lisp is realted big data. | 12:21 |
| craigbass1976 | It's when I fire up chromium -- that's the sacrificial lamb browser I use for fb and google stuff | 12:21 |
| cheshair | the_drow: thanks, even though the context is a bit more complex than that :-) | 12:21 |
| deitarion | (I'm using Apache's user dirs support for development but the non-userdir part is cluttering up the fruits of my ad-blocking hosts file with 404 messages and I'd like a solution that modifies as little of the system loadout as possible so I can comfortably put it in my GitHub-hosted roaming profile as something that can just be copied into place if no other file already exists. | 12:22 |
| bekks | manjush: lisp isnt used for big data - back in the days when lisp was invented there wasnt big data - except in science fiction stories. | 12:22 |
| cheshair | if uname tells me "x86_64 GNU/Linux" what ubuntu deb package am I suppose to use: amd64 or i386? | 12:23 |

| === ericab is now known as ericab_away | ||
| dr_willis | the_drow: whats not working in recovery mode anyway? it should let you get to a root shell | 12:24 |

| FlowRiser | Adriannom, tried doing it from root ? | 12:24 |
| Adriannom | Adriannom, i haven't used root in years... do you mean su mode? | 12:25 |
| bekks | cheshair: Whats the output of uname -a? | 12:25 |
| Adriannom | FlowRiser even ;s | 12:26 |
| criss | hello | 12:27 |
| FlowRiser | Adriannom, then i have no ideea O.o | 12:27 |
| Adriannom | FlowRiser, huh? i meant.. do you mean single user mode? | 12:28 |
| manjush | bekks: lisp isn't used for big data.Bug sense is using lisp for its big data platform. | 12:29 |
| cheshair | bekks: kernel 2.6.34.8 and ends with x86_64 GNU/Linux | 12:29 |
| FlowRiser | Adriannom, yes, try in su mode | 12:29 |
| Adriannom | FlowRiser, i think it would work, i also think it would work if i restarted the machine | 12:29 |
| Adriannom | FlowRiser, however... it worries me :| | 12:29 |
| FlowRiser | Adriannom, btw, use su mode at your own risk. (i always forget to add this) | 12:30 |
| Adriannom | FlowRiser, i guess i'm wondering why it's not logging users out properly | 12:30 |
| Adriannom | or... whatever | 12:30 |
| FlowRiser | Adriannom, try seeing how many lightdm processes are running at a moment | 12:31 |
| Adriannom | ok | 12:31 |
| Adriannom | FlowRiser, 12 | 12:32 |
| Adriannom | FlowRiser, and one user is logged in | 12:32 |
| bekks | manjush: Please keep it in this channel. | 12:34 |
| bekks | manjush: Again: Keep it in this channel, do not query me. | 12:34 |
| FlowRiser | Adriannom, right; so you can always stop lightdm ... make sure to kill all the processes; it will bring you to the logon screen ... then just sudo start lightdm; and try again; | 12:35 |
| FlowRiser | Adriannom, don't do that just yet | 12:35 |
| Adriannom | ok gotcha | 12:35 |
| FlowRiser | Adriannom, once in logon screen; ctrl-alt-f1, login manually and kill al those processes | 12:36 |
| FlowRiser | Adriannom, then start lightdm and see if it works | 12:36 |
| manjush | bekks:You told me that lisp isn't used for big data.I wanted to be clear with that.Bugsense is maintaining big data platform using lisp. | 12:36 |
| FlowRiser | Adriannom, i'll see you when you get back ;) | 12:36 |
| manjush | bekks: fine. I will keep it in this channel | 12:36 |
| bekks | manjush: Whats "big data" for you then? A bugtracker database? :) | 12:37 |
| skp1 | hi, i put a hold on a package using synaptic and also using aptitude but when i try to upgrade using apt-get the package i want held is still being upgraded, can someone help me? | 12:37 |

| Adriannom | FlowRiser, nope | 12:39 |
| Adriannom | FlowRiser, still happening | 12:39 |
| Adriannom | makes me wonder if a reboot would work after all | 12:40 |
| Adriannom | i'll try | 12:40 |
| manjush | bekks: check this https://www.bugsense.com/ These people use lisp | 12:40 |

| canthus13 | any suggestions? | 12:43 |
| canthus13 | BIOS sees all the drives fine. | 12:44 |
| p00c | Strange... I have a mainboard with UEFI and everything works fine... are you actually able to install ubuntu? | 12:44 |
| _helios_ | canthus13: my assumption is that unfortunetaly ubuntu doesn't support your pc yet but don't worry it won't take them long | 12:45 |
| canthus13 | _helios_: ...so I've got two thousand-dollar paperweights right now. :/ | 12:45 |
| canthus13 | p00c: nope. | 12:45 |
| Adriannom | maybe it's a problem with lightdm itself? | 12:45 |
| canthus13 | p00c: this is from the live media. | 12:45 |
| cfhowlett | canthus13, so sad but hey ... install virtualbox and put ubunt inside! | 12:45 |
| p00c | tell us your specs | 12:45 |

| tootac | Hi guys, I have two wifi routers and two laptops both with ubuntu (10.10 and 12.10). One of the computers can connect to both routers and works fine (10.10) the second one connects to both routers but on one of the routers internet is not working. How can I troubleshoot that? | 12:52 |
| Adriannom | ubuntu 12.10, gnome fallback. when i login lightdm spawns a process that never goes away after i logout. usermod, userdel etc. claim that the user is logged in when i try to do things. this pc will have a long uptime so might it cause problems in the long run? | 12:54 |
| p00c | canthus13: well a 2.0 is an older usb-"standard", a 3.0 helps you transfer your data more quicker from a PC to an USB stick... if you have a look at your PC and your USB slots, has anyone of them a blue colour? | 12:55 |
| p00c | cantus13: or is anywhere written "3.0" or "2.0"? | 12:55 |
| p00c | canthus13: usually there should be a distinction provided by your main board | 12:56 |
| manjush | I want to know relation between lisp and big data.If you say they are unrelated, then check https://www.bugsense.com/ They use lisp for their big data platform.If you know about big data and lisp,tell me | 12:56 |
| p00c | canthus13: forgot to ask: do you actually want to boot from a USB drive? ^^ | 12:57 |
| FlowRiser | Adriannom, sry, i am studying for my exams :D I don't think it's a lightdm problem | 12:58 |
| canthus13 | p00c: yup. And I figured it out... the 3.0 ports are blue and won't even attempt to boot. | 13:00 |
| Adriannom | FlowRiser, np :) | 13:00 |
| canthus13 | the other 10 ports wil boot.. and sometime during the splash USB stops responding. | 13:00 |
| p00c | canthus13: Great, so now try to boot from a 2.0 port, it should actually work | 13:00 |
| FlowRiser | Adriannom, at least you identified the possible problem source | 13:01 |

| savagecroc | but for IPs it makes no sense | 13:15 |
| the_jeebster | yeah I've gotta get my dns setup first then I'd have an issue | 13:15 |
| savagecroc | do you have a vpn? | 13:15 |
| Tm_T | the_jeebster: please watch your language | 13:15 |
| the_jeebster | sorry | 13:15 |
| savagecroc | the_jeebster: reboot .. try again | 13:17 |
| savagecroc | i can't think of anything else.. if you want, you can pm me the ip and i'll test from my computer | 13:17 |

| keuner | hi. my keyboard doesn't respond to key strokes anymore. could anyone show me where to start for a solution? | 13:23 |
| MarKsaitis | how do i ask my system whether a specific library is installed on it? either package or from sources and linked to the system? | 13:24 |
| TomyBook | keuner, how do you chat then? :D | 13:24 |
| TakeItEZ | facundol: dpkg -L packagename | 13:25 |
| TomyBook | usb or ps2 keyboard? | 13:25 |
| keuner | tomybook: i knew this would come ;) | 13:25 |
| keuner | i logged in as different user | 13:25 |
| facundol | TakeItEZ: Thanks, I'll try | 13:25 |
| keuner | builtin laptop keyboard | 13:25 |
| keuner | thinkpad x230 | 13:26 |
| TomyBook | keuner, so it only pertains to one X session? | 13:26 |
| TomyBook | or every time you log in with that user? | 13:26 |
| keuner | yes. in a way. logout and reboot didn't do the trick | 13:26 |
| TomyBook | hmmmm | 13:26 |
| keuner | only one user. yes. and only in x (tty works fine) | 13:27 |
| keuner | this happened before. keyboard stopped working some time after using the gimp | 13:27 |
| keuner | reboot usually solved the problem | 13:27 |
| TomyBook | cant help you, sorry | 13:28 |

| KrisB | Hello, what does GDM2 actually do? | 14:06 |
| usr13 | !GDM2 | KrisB | 14:07 |
| dch | usr13: yes. It points to bash, which tells me how to set it once off in the shell. It does not explain anything about /etc/sysctl.conf, limits.conf or anything else that *might* be involved. I've also found pam.d stuff but don't yet see how that should be involved. | 14:07 |
| dch | grepping /etc for ulimit doesn't show anything else that might be setting it. I'm lost. | 14:08 |
| usr13 | dch: Did you read man sysctl ? | 14:09 |
| KrisB | usr13: so I need to install it so I can change settings for login screen? | 14:09 |
| ryansipes | KrisB: GDM is the Gnome Display Manager | 14:09 |
| usr13 | KrisB: Sorry, I don't know anything about GDM2 | 14:10 |
| KrisB | usr13: all I want to do is to use AutoLogin somehow. | 14:10 |
| lolcat | If I SSH into a ubuntu with an encrypted home folder with an ssh-key-file, will the encrypted home folder be visible? | 14:11 |
| ryansipes | KrisB: What version of Ubuntu are you using? | 14:11 |
| TakeItEZ | lolcat: no, unless you put your known_host/authorized_keys files somewhere outsie ~/.ssh in the unecrypted part | 14:12 |
| usr13 | KrisB: "Open settings, select 'user accounts'. Click the unlock button, then change the Automatic Login switch to "On" From: http://askubuntu.com/questions/210823/how-do-iset-automatic-login-in-ubuntu-12-10 | 14:12 |
| TakeItEZ | outside | 14:12 |
| dch | usr13: I appreciate the pointers to man pages, but they are not helping, they are all runtime changes. Something is over-writing the settings in the various config files I am using, before the system has even started. Any ideas? | 14:12 |
| lolcat | TakeItEZ: So I can actually not log in through ssh? And I assume su won't let me see it either? | 14:12 |
| === tm is now known as Guest87473 | ||
| usr13 | KrisB: "In users and groups choose your user, and click word "Change..." next to "Password:" (it does not look like a button, what might be a bit misleading). There you can change password, or at the bottom mark "Don't ask for password on login" box." (Same place) | 14:12 |
| TakeItEZ | lolcat: you can, but you have to do some manual setup. check the forums/wiki, iirc there is some info on that | 14:13 |
| usr13 | dch: Which config files? | 14:13 |
| lolcat | TakeItEZ: MY problem is: I have an encrypted home folder, but hasn't got the sligthes idea what the password is... | 14:14 |

| MadEchidna | Hey so I just ran update manager and got a new kernel, and it broke my video driver | 14:17 |
| lolcat | a $2000 mistake :/ | 14:17 |
| MadEchidna | using the stable AMD driver from the ubuntu driver tool, no special PPAs | 14:17 |
| jrib | lolcat: then your only hope is that you remember the password so that you can unlock the passphrase. In my experience, this usually happens within a few days once you stop trying to remember it... | 14:17 |
| lolcat | jrib: I haven't used this password since some time back in 2011 | 14:17 |
| usr13 | MadEchidna: You can revert to the earlier kernel. Or re-install the video driver. | 14:17 |
| jrib | lolcat: it's ok, same thing happened to me once | 14:17 |
| lolcat | jrib: also, at the time I liked random generated passwords | 14:18 |
| MadEchidna | usr13, so you think if i just switch to the open source driver and back to the amd one that'll fix it? | 14:18 |
| jrib | lolcat: then maybe you won't be as lucky | 14:18 |
| MadEchidna | how can I make it reinstall? | 14:18 |
| ryansipes | KrisB: F1 through F6 take you to different terminal sessions, but the display server is still running in the background. | 14:18 |
| usr13 | MadEchidna: mv /etc/X11/xorg.conf /etc/X11/xorg.conf.bak | 14:18 |
| MadEchidna | meh I guess this is a good opportunity to install that new beta driver | 14:18 |

| usr13 | MadEchidna: Yep | 14:19 |
| KrisB | ryansipes: is there a way to run the system without desktop, if you get what I mean. | 14:19 |
| MadEchidna | what it says at the bottom of the announcement that it requires xfree86 | 14:20 |
| MadEchidna | that's a mistake right :P | 14:20 |
| ryansipes | KrisB: Yes, let me see if I can get you the instructions to boot into a session without the display server. | 14:20 |
| usr13 | KrisB: http://paste.ubuntu.com/1624856/ | 14:21 |
| usr13 | KrisB: And I guess from there you can do startx or startxfce4 or...? (I suppose there are several options.) | 14:23 |
| usr13 | KrisB: ... that is, if you decide you wanna start a gui at some time or other. | 14:23 |
| ryansipes | KrisB: To supplement usr13, here is another resource http://askubuntu.com/questions/132965/how-do-i-boot-into-single-user-mode-from-grub | 14:24 |
| KrisB | user13. So what this texediting does is changes GRUB (something I see after BIOS loads where I need to select the OS to run), right? | 14:24 |
| usr13 | ryansipes: Thank you. | 14:25 |
| usr13 | KrisB: No. You'll be editing the grub config file so that it will be a perminate change. | 14:26 |

| TakeItEZ | KrisB: press ctrl-alt-f1,login, then "sudo service lightdm stop" | 14:28 |
| usr13 | KrisB: Yes. Ctrl-Alt-Backspace | 14:28 |
| usr13 | KrisB: And to go another step forward, (in order to streamline); Which ever you settle on, (when you DO use a GUI), you could set up a symlink to something shorter, (like gui). i.e. sudo ln -s /usr/bin/startxfce4 /usr/bin/gui | 14:29 |
| usr13 | KrisB: And then, when you want the GUI, just type gui and hit Enter. | 14:29 |

| nearst | hi all | 14:31 |
| iNFiNiT__ | hello nearst | 14:31 |

| KrisB | user13: you said "if you run lightdm". I am now a bit confused what the difference between lightdm and startxfce4 | 14:34 |

| usr13 | iNFiNiT__: Not true. | 14:36 |
| iNFiNiT__ | usr13: what's not true | 14:36 |
| usr13 | iNFiNiT__: User does not have admin rights. | 14:36 |
| usr13 | iNFiNiT__: That is the job of sudo | 14:36 |

| johnkingerstinge | trying to dual boot with ufei system i disabled the ufei system and installed windows 7 on legacy mode but once i boot up ubuntu live cd it doesnt detect the windows 7 partitans | 15:08 |
| MadEchidna | kind of lame that Ubuntu doesn't update that with the kernel, pretty much anyone using the amd driver from the driver tool on a clean install of 12.10 has broken drivers if they did that kernel update and didn't know to update the headers manually | 15:08 |
| Guest78878 | ok | 15:09 |
| johnkingerstinge | i cant even install it right now i hate this uefi shit | 15:09 |

| mapg1964 | how can i install ubuntu on my windows 7 machine without loosing windows 7? | 15:10 |
| johnkingerstinge | mapg its called dual boot | 15:10 |
| mapg1964 | exactly | 15:10 |
| johnkingerstinge | just pop the ubuntu live cd in and follow the instructions | 15:10 |
| mapg1964 | but what do i have to do? | 15:10 |
| johnkingerstinge | it should say install ubuntu along side windows 7 | 15:11 |
| hybirdd | boop, hi everyobody | 15:11 |
| johnkingerstinge | atleast thats how it goes i dont have that option -__- since i have an uefi motherboard | 15:11 |
| mapg1964 | i don't have an ubuntu live cd, can i just download and create one? | 15:12 |
| jpds | mapg1964: Yes. | 15:12 |
| MarKsaitis | why on damn earth library management is made complicated? When you install a package from repo it install libs in /lib/* when you install same soft from source, libs are in /usr/local/softname/libs/* why on earth not to make these packages less complicated and leaving the way devs created them and just use ld.so.conf and tell it where the crap is... otherwise some software bundles which half need to be installed from sources and other half from rep | 15:12 |
| MarKsaitis | os get damn stupid!!!!!! | 15:12 |
| Guest78878 | i want to be a hacker and i have no idea about this so i want some help | 15:12 |
| jpds | MarKsaitis: Erm, not that's not how it's handled on Ubuntu. | 15:12 |
| johnkingerstinge | lol ubuntu wont help u become a hacker | 15:12 |
| mapg1964 | where csn i download it? | 15:12 |
| jpds | mapg1964: http://www.ubuntu.com | 15:13 |

| TakeItEZ | MarKsaitis: its not ubuntus fault that you miss to set PREFIX as you want it to be | 15:13 |
| johnkingerstinge | anyone know how to install ubuntu alongside windows 7 on an uefi system | 15:13 |
| MarKsaitis | jpds, erm, it actually is! I see it now in action | 15:13 |
| johnkingerstinge | i disabled uefi in bios and installed windows 7 | 15:14 |
| johnkingerstinge | but it still wont dectect the part | 15:14 |
| mapg1964 | ok I'm at www.ubuntu.com | 15:14 |
| MarKsaitis | TakeItEZ, first of all!!!!!!!! Source built soft cannot go on / !!! So I am just ignoring whatever you said. | 15:14 |
| mapg1964 | what option, there are many | 15:14 |
| jpds | MarKsaitis: OK, you're doing something wrong, otherwise everyone else would be complaining. | 15:15 |
| johnkingerstinge | no help? | 15:15 |
| MarKsaitis | and jpds , samba4 from sources installs libs to /usr/local/samba/libs/ whereas for example package libgensec0 installs libs in /usr/lib/x86_64-linux-gnu/ | 15:15 |
| hybirdd | johnkingerstinge: afaik you can multi boot with uefi but then you'd have to build grub2 yourself | 15:16 |
| mapg1964 | so i just download the windows installer? | 15:16 |
| hybirdd | sure mapg1964 | 15:16 |
| MarKsaitis | it all the rest agrees to something, it doesn't mean it's true. Maybe nobody else cares about this problem. And my problem is very complicated. But I just gave you the end conclusion of it | 15:16 |
| jpds | MarKsaitis: No, apt-file list samba4 shows me that samba4 puts libs in /usr/lib/x86_64-linux-gnu/samba/ . | 15:16 |
| johnkingerstinge | hybirdd so what do you think i should do i disabled UEFI | 15:17 |
| jpds | MarKsaitis: Sounds like you forgot to put: --prefix=/usr when you ran ./configure. | 15:17 |
| MarKsaitis | yeah, I meant /usr before lib | 15:17 |
| mapg1964 | should i partition the harddrive mannually or the windows installer will guide me to do that? | 15:17 |
| MarKsaitis | jpds, my samba went to /usr/local/samba which is ok | 15:17 |
| hybirdd | mapg1964: windows installer will take care of everything | 15:17 |
| hybirdd | johnkingerstinge: i wish i could tell really… I've always virtualised my stuff. | 15:17 |
| johnkingerstinge | this is really fustrating -__- it wont let meinstall it | 15:18 |
| johnkingerstinge | i parted the drive | 15:18 |
| johnkingerstinge | and when i go to install it says free space | 15:18 |

| KrisB | Okay. so which one of the mentioned use?;D | 16:20 |
| Senjai | KrisB: you need to learn how linux works with processes | 16:20 |

| Cadmus | Hello, I've got a newish 12.04 install and there's something that's bothering me. I've put an e-mail address in /root/.forward and the only rule in /etc/aliases is "postmaster: root", but the output of cron jobs is going to the unpriv'd user. Why is it doing this and can it be stopped? | 16:20 |
| Senjai | when the parent dies, the child dies to, unless it is orphaned to init | 16:21 |
| Nach0z | KrisB: flip a coin. most of them work. I'd suggest nohup, because I use it a lot. | 16:21 |
| Senjai | KrisB: every process in Linux/GNU must have a parent. | 16:21 |
| KrisB | Senjai: okay - do you know any good resources to learn about processes? | 16:21 |
| TakeItEZ | Cadmus: add "root: you@example.com" into alieases | 16:21 |
| Gnea | Senjai: this is why nohup, & and minimization exist. | 16:21 |
| Senjai | KrisB: Yes, check out the linux system administrators guide at tldp.org | 16:22 |
| Senjai | Gnea: I wanted to explain why his method didnt work, rather than giving him the answer directly | 16:22 |
| Senjai | Gnea people don't learn when you just say do x to get y. | 16:22 |
| Gnea | Senjai: fair enough. not everyone is looking for an answer like that, though. | 16:22 |
| nedbat | I've asked a few AppArmor questions here over the last few days, and haven't gotten responses. Does anyone have a suggestion of a different channel that could help? | 16:22 |
| Cadmus | TakeItEZ: By default does it push it to user 1000 or something? brb | 16:22 |
| Senjai | Gnea: I know, but I'm not bound by a SOP on how to give advice :) We're all volunteers, we can all advise in our own means. | 16:23 |
| Gnea | Senjai: but yes, it is nice when people actually WANT to take the time to learn it properly. | 16:23 |
| Gnea | Senjai: :-) | 16:23 |
| KrisB | Nach0z - and what nuhup does? | 16:23 |
| melty | lol | 16:23 |
| Senjai | Gnea: IMO if they dont, they aren't worth my time, and will eventually fall out of Linux/GNU anyway. | 16:23 |
| KrisB | *nohup. | 16:23 |
| Senjai | Gnea: Linux/GNU requires a 'want' to learn | 16:23 |
| Senjai | KrisB: just use the ampersand, it should be fine. | 16:24 |
| Gnea | KrisB: nohup isn't really required | 16:24 |
| KrisB | Senjai: and what is the logic under the ampersand (how does that differ from when used without it)? | 16:25 |
| Senjai | KrisB: It determins who becomes the parent of the process you're starting | 16:25 |
| Senjai | KrisB: without it the parent of the process becomes the current terminal session you're using | 16:25 |
| Cadmus | TakeItEZ: Hmm, still doing the same thing | 16:25 |
| Senjai | KrisB: in good practice, its usually good to only use it for applications you know are stable, until you learn how to kill processes manually. | 16:26 |
| KrisB | Senjai: so who becomes parent with ampersand useage? | 16:26 |
| Cadmus | Feb 8 16:24:01 cad-vbox postfix/local[4148]: E058A45E1F: to=<cadmus@cad-vbox>, orig_to=<cadmus>, relay=local, delay=0.19, delays=0.16/0/0/0.04, dsn=2.0.0, status=sent (delivered to mailbox) | 16:26 |
| nnull | since when does youtube require flash :s | 16:26 |
| TakeItEZ | Cadmus: hrm, you want root to receice mails? why? root never should read any mails, so the delivery to a non-priv user is ok. if you don't want cron-notifications, set MAILTO in crontab | 16:27 |
| nnull | nvm im thinking of gvideo | 16:27 |
| Senjai | KrisB: never really looked into it. I'd like to say init | 16:27 |
| BluesKaj | nnull, youtube without flash , that would be a godsend | 16:27 |
| Senjai | KrisB: but, you can always find out | 16:27 |
| Senjai | KrisB: start a process with & | 16:27 |
| Senjai | KrisB: then run top and find out who its parent is | 16:28 |

| bekks | morph3k: Define "overloading" in this context please. | 16:36 |
| KrisB | bekks: right. I always check what ACTUALLY happened afterwards. But at the beginning it's easier to manage servers, experiment when i'm dump at those things. | 16:36 |
| nnull | iceroot, will it work if i dont have flash? lol | 16:36 |
| morph3k | it wont boot up | 16:36 |
| morph3k | sec bekks ill show u | 16:36 |
| nnull | BluesKaj, the link u sent me says i need WebM for firefox4, which i have? | 16:36 |

| iceroot | nnull: you dont need flash | 16:37 |
| morph3k | http://snapplr.com/nrze bekks | 16:37 |
| iceroot | nnull: minitube is a native YouTube client. With it you can watch YouTube videos in a new way: you type a keyword, Minitube gives you an endless video stream. Mini‐ tube does not require the Flash Player. | 16:37 |

| morph3k | debian/fedora and other ubuntu VM started up fine | 16:38 |

| bekks | morph3k: How is that picture related to "overloading"? | 16:38 |
| morph3k | um | 16:38 |
| morph3k | its not booting | 16:38 |
| morph3k | so im assuming that it has to much strain on it | 16:38 |

| GabMus | i need some help | 17:11 |
| labsin | ty Gabmus | 17:11 |
| GabMus | i want to completely wipe my macbook to install ubuntu on a single partition | 17:11 |
| morph3k | oh shit | 17:11 |
| morph3k | bekks | 17:11 |
| GabMus | now, i know macs normally use a guid partition table | 17:11 |
| morph3k | i think im getting into set up | 17:12 |
| GabMus | but what if i want to use mbr? | 17:12 |
| FlowRiser | GabMus, please don't use newline as punctuation. | 17:12 |
| GabMus | ok | 17:12 |
| FlowRiser | GabMus, why wouldn't you want to use mbr ? | 17:13 |
| kdsmain | Is there a chatroom for installing Ubuntu 12.04 on a Power Mac G5? The live CD boots, but there is a big white square where the desktop should be and none of the Unity icons display. | 17:13 |
| sybariten | Hm, i have trouble installing ffmpeg over apt. first it asks about packages it couldnt "authentisize" (ehmm... its unfortunately not in english) ... then when i okay that, it still fails. Which error message of many, am i looking for ? | 17:13 |
| sybariten | its basicly a 404 | 17:13 |
| labsin | GabMus: to install on a macbook. First choose 'try ubuntu' from the live cd. Open gparted and wipe the whole disc. then run the setup | 17:13 |
| GabMus | labsin: i am worried about the efi | 17:14 |
| sybariten | sudo apt-get update gives more or less the same problem | 17:14 |
| FlowRiser | sybariten, check the software sources | 17:14 |
| GabMus | i dont know how the mac's efi would react to a mbr hd | 17:14 |
| FlowRiser | sybariten, can you install any other packages over apt ? | 17:15 |
| labsin | I don't know much about it. You can install Ubuntu on the mbr tho | 17:15 |

| zastern | so im thinking this is some weird upstart issue or something | 17:16 |
| labsin | GabMus: I ones got a mac-hdd and din't know it was from a mac and installed ubuntu on it and didn't even notice it ones. I only noticed it when I thried to install windows on it | 17:16 |
| GabMus | mh, ill try… i still have the recovery dvd of mac os | 17:16 |
| GabMus | i'll try | 17:17 |
| GabMus | thank you all for the help | 17:17 |
| GabMus | i'll let you know later | 17:17 |
| silvereye | labsin : how is mac hdd different/incompatible as hardware? | 17:17 |
| labsin | Silvereye: the partition table. When you remove the partitions the partition table usually stayes the same. You can change it tho | 17:18 |
| labsin | Silvereye: It's called GUID. It's just a different way of storring the layout of the partitions. | 17:21 |
| eni | hi, I installed xubuntu, but i only have the console version and have internet. How can I install X and Gnome through console? what packages do I need? | 17:21 |
| bazhang | eni ubuntu-desktop package | 17:21 |
| ikonia | eni: you can't have a console version of xubuntu | 17:21 |
| silvereye | labsin : so it's not the harddrive was really any different, just it needed to be actually erased including the partition table | 17:21 |
| ikonia | eni: what have you really installed or done | 17:21 |
| eni | ikonia: i have no GUI just login page/ vi etc. | 17:22 |
| ikonia | eni: right, so either there is a problem, or you have not installed xubuntu | 17:22 |
| ikonia | which is it ? | 17:22 |
| ikonia | if it's a problem, installing ubuntu-desktop won't help | 17:22 |
| eni | ikonia: no packages are installed ( i used a usb key) so the sources.lst was configured to work with CD i think | 17:22 |
| eni | ikonia: there was an error during the "installing packages" process | 17:23 |
| ikonia | eni: even if xubuntu is isnstalled from a usb key - the sources.list will be the same as the CD | 17:23 |
| ikonia | eni: ok - so now we are getting somewhere | 17:23 |
| labsin | silvereye: linux can run from a HDD with GUID partition table. Ubuntu does this without complaining. If you wan't to install Windows on it, there are guides for changing the patition table | 17:23 |
| ikonia | you KNOW there is an error and you've not told us | 17:23 |
| labsin | Silvereye: Apple uses normal HDD indeed. | 17:23 |
| eni | ikonia: so I thought, since it's from USB key it doesn't recognize the sources.lst or something, and I loged in and added all the online repos.. just did an apt-get updat e(which went fine).. and was thining to install the desktop (which wasn't installed before) | 17:24 |
| ikonia | eni: the first thing you should do if your install failed is re-install | 17:24 |
| eni | ikonia: so i have apt-get, vi, etc already installed. | 17:24 |
| ikonia | eni: as it maybe more than just X | 17:24 |
| eni | ikonia: well i tried and got to the same error page | 17:24 |
| ikonia | eni: so that should be your first point of call, try a re-install and see if the error is reproducable | 17:24 |
| ikonia | eni: then at that point, note down the error and what it's complaining about | 17:24 |
| ikonia | eni: then report that | 17:24 |
| ikonia | eni: instead of "how do i install gnome" | 17:24 |
| eni | ikonia: i thought my diagnose was correct | 17:25 |
| ikonia | eni: what diagnoses ? | 17:25 |
| ikonia | eni: you've just said "I want to install X" | 17:25 |
| ikonia | eni: you've not said what packages failed ? why they failed ? | 17:25 |
| eni | ikonia: i have no idea why they failed | 17:25 |
| eni | ikonia: it didn't say anything | 17:26 |
| ikonia | right - so documenting what failed | 17:26 |
| eni | ikonia: it said : "ERROR IN : 'installing packages'" | 17:26 |
| ikonia | eni: now you're just being lazy | 17:26 |
| ikonia | you said it warned you about packages | 17:26 |
| ikonia | get the full infomration, report it and lets see what can be done | 17:26 |
| ikonia | but stop missing bits of info out | 17:26 |
| bekks | morph3k: There is no need to contact me outside this channel. | 17:26 |
| ikonia | eni: it's likley your media is corrupt as some packaes are getting installed | 17:27 |
| ikonia | but again - no information = logical guess | 17:27 |
| eni | ikonia: ok, i'll try to re-create the USB key than | 17:27 |

| Tex_Nick | dougl: sudo apt-get update; sudo apt-get upgrade; sudo apt-get dist-upgrade | 17:29 |
| silvereye | eni : there may not be a gubuntu, but there is xubuntu, lubuntu, and kubuntu - so it's being evasive to ssay that it's only based on unity | 17:29 |
| bekks | Tex_Nick: Which works for supported target versions only. | 17:30 |
| Tex_Nick | bekks : i need to WAKE-UP ... thanks for clarifying | 17:30 |
| ikonia | silvereye: he is using xubuntu - he knows what they are, he asked for GNOME, it is not evasive, it is fact. | 17:30 |
| ikonia | silvereye: ubuntu is based around the unity shell - that is the gnome build ubuntu uses | 17:31 |
| ikonia | the others are not gnome | 17:31 |
| bekks | dougl: So which version of Ubuntu do you have? | 17:31 |
| BluesKaj | dougl, are you just trying to update/upgrade your packages or your kubuntu version ? | 17:31 |
| dougl | BluesKaj, upgrade my packages | 17:32 |

| RB2 | Good Afternoon. I am having issues with the nVidia current-updates drivers since going to kernel 3.5.0.22 . If I boot up normally, I get a black screen (never hear the login chime) .. If I boot into recovery mode with networking enabled, after 60 seconds or so, the desktop loads of its own accord and works perfectly. | 18:18 |
| yacc-in | RB2: i also have problems with any proprietary nvidia driver | 18:20 |
| RB2 | I've removed and re-installed the driver, but no love. Also, when in the desktop, I get a notice asking me to report a crash and it wants to send nvidia debug data. :-S | 18:20 |
| RB2 | yacc-in, same kind of issue? | 18:20 |
| yacc-in | no. when i enable the proprietary driver i get a rtesolution smaller than 800x600 and after log-in i only have a desktop background, no panels, icons whatsoever | 18:22 |

| Arthur_rainbow | And Rhythmbox check only musicbrainz as far as I understand, who works well if they already know the cd, which is not the case for the cd I have | 19:05 |

| SolarisBoy | Arthur_rainbow: try a software called beets (its a python script available in the repos) it will use other things than one source to tag music based on what it finds with varying modes of operation | 19:10 |
| SolarisBoy | Arthur_rainbow: you would do something like beet import /path/to/musicfolder and it will tag and copy the music into your library the way most players expect to see them | 19:11 |

| morph3k | bekks: looks like i can fix this if my damn internet willw ork | 19:15 |
| morph3k | i cant use apt-get or wget | 19:15 |
| RB2 | yacc-in, I had to use the drivers from the website to make it work... but, I booted into recovery mode, enabled networking... (had to use Ctrl-C because of another bug).. then I uninstalled nvidia-current-updates, installed the nvidia 310.32 long-lived drivers, blacklisted nouveau and it works. | 19:16 |
| bekks | morph3k: Did you check wether you have a valid IP? | 19:16 |
| morph3k | yea i do | 19:17 |
| morph3k | something is just preventing me from connecting | 19:17 |
| RB2 | yacc-in, your mileage may vary, but it's working for me. | 19:17 |
| yacc-in | RB2: so.. install driver from nvidia.com reinstall nonfree drivers frm repo (terminal) and then blacklist the OS drivers? | 19:17 |
| whoever | hi all , I have bluetooth headphones , that will randomly stop playing audio, and weather I use the bluetooth icon or the terminal to try to restart bluetooth, the process never finishes, and just hangs at "stopping blutooth". can someone assist | 19:17 |
| riegersn | is it possible to customize my trackpad functionality? example, I can right click with 2 finger click, but I want to turn OFF right click when clicking on the right side of the pad. is this possible? | 19:17 |
| morph3k | any idea bekks | 19:19 |
| bekks | morph3k: No. Not without the exact error message you get. | 19:20 |
| huttan | morph3k: have u made sure that its not a dns problem? | 19:20 |
| ecks | hello, I managed to brick my kubuntu partition somehow by installing kde 4.10. I can still access a tty and I'm trying to get networking to work atm. any help? | 19:20 |
| morph3k | temporarily failure resolving us.archiveubuntu.com | 19:20 |
| morph3k | Some files failed to download. They have been ignored, or old ones used instead. | 19:21 |
| bekks | morph3k: So what did you do to check wether you have a valid IP and a valid nameserver? | 19:21 |
| RB2 | yacc-in, I removed the nonfree installed from the repo, installed the nvidia drivers I downloaded from the site (ignore the message about pre-install script failing) and then added nouveau to the /etc/modprobe/blacklist.conf file | 19:21 |
| morph3k | ifconfig | 19:21 |
| morph3k | then i did ifconfig eth0 down and ifconfig eth0 up | 19:22 |
| PH5 | hey, what software can i use to put Ubuntu on a USB drive? | 19:22 |
| yacc-in | ah ok so you are using the website drivers now? | 19:22 |
| ecks | PH5: unetbootin | 19:22 |
| bekks | morph3k: Why did you FIRST control, then down/up the interface? | 19:22 |
| RB2 | yacc-in, FYI, if it doesn't work right for you, you can run the install again with --uninstall and it will remove them | 19:22 |
| RB2 | yacc-in, yes... working great | 19:22 |
| GabMus_ | hello again | 19:23 |
| morph3k | what do u mean bekks | 19:23 |
| yacc-in | hmm nice | 19:23 |
| yacc-in | or sad... :D | 19:23 |
| RB2 | yacc-in, Hope it works for you if you try it... | 19:23 |
| RB2 | Both! | 19:23 |
| PH5 | hey, what software can i use to put Ubuntu on a USB drive? | 19:23 |
| huttan | morph3k: curl -s http://checkip.dyndns.org | sed 's/[a-zA-Z/<> :]//g' | 19:23 |
| bekks | morph3k: "ifconfig, then ifconfig ... down, then ... up". | 19:23 |
| tgm4883 | PH5, you were already answered | 19:23 |
| GabMus_ | i have a problem with kde 4.10 on kubuntu 12.04. I installed kubuntu backports repo and now kde session doesnt work | 19:23 |
| tgm4883 | PH5, no need to ask the same question again | 19:23 |
| yacc-in | someone who knows how to do that kind of stuff should make a workin packag and create a repo for that :/ | 19:23 |
| PH5 | really, oh | 19:23 |
| bekks | huttan: Which doesnt help determining having a valid IP or not. | 19:23 |
| huttan | bekks: if it returns an ip he has got one | 19:24 |
| PH5 | thanks vary much | 19:24 |
| huttan | bekks: ifconfig will most likely check his local ip | 19:24 |
| tgm4883 | PH5, even if you weren't answered, 1 minute isn't long enought to wait before asking again | 19:24 |
| bekks | huttan: And if not you cant tell anything. It is like closing your eyes and guessing why it might be dark. | 19:24 |
| bekks | huttan: And we NEED to check his local ip. | 19:24 |
| tgm4883 | bekks, because it's nighttime? | 19:24 |
| bekks | tgm4883: Maybe. Maybe not. | 19:25 |
| tgm4883 | because I'm blind? | 19:25 |
| AlecTaylor | hi | 19:25 |
| tgm4883 | bekks, this isn't a very good game you came up with :/ | 19:25 |
| AlecTaylor | Should we expect many changes between the kernel freeze tomorrow and the second alpha on the 14th? | 19:25 |
| * AlecTaylor wants to upgrade from 12.04 | 19:25 | |
| yacc-in | oh RB2 hae you tried the ones from ppa:xorg-edgers/ppa ? | 19:25 |
| labsin | A question here. Anybody using XChat? I don't get thy system icon and the popup boxes. | 19:25 |
| tgm4883 | AlecTaylor, probably looking for #ubuntu+1 | 19:25 |
| AlecTaylor | tgm4883: That channel is dead >.< | 19:26 |
| tgm4883 | labsin, I am | 19:26 |
| RB2 | yacc-in, you know.. I thought that when the nonfree drivers from the repo were installed, it was supposed to blacklist nouveau... but it definitely wasn't | 19:26 |
| tgm4883 | AlecTaylor, this isn't the chat for dev help | 19:26 |
| tgm4883 | AlecTaylor, dev release help I mean | 19:26 |
| RB2 | yacc-in, but I don't know enough about it to say whether I'm correct or not | 19:26 |
| bekks | morph3k: So which IP do you have, and whoch nameserver do you use? | 19:26 |
| tgm4883 | AlecTaylor, you can apparently get banned for that | 19:26 |
| AlecTaylor | bahaha | 19:26 |
| RB2 | yacc-in, No, I didn't try those. What version do they have? | 19:26 |
| yacc-in | hmm idk... | 19:26 |
| morph3k | bout to try bekks | 19:26 |
| labsin | tgm4883: so, do you have a system icon? | 19:27 |
| bekks | morph3k: There is nothing to try about it - just look up the information :) | 19:27 |
| yacc-in | "In this page, we will help you install Nvidia driver 304.32 on Ubuntu and Linux Mint via PPA." | 19:27 |
| tgm4883 | labsin, I'm assuming you are asking about the notification area (eg. system tray)? | 19:27 |
| labsin | yes sorry | 19:28 |
| RB2 | yacc-in, ahh ok. I'm running 310.32 | 19:28 |
| tgm4883 | labsin, no I do not | 19:28 |

| === ybit is now known as heath | ||
| yacc-in | RB2 maybe it has those too | 19:28 |
| morph3k | heh | 19:29 |
| morph3k | dont have curl on here bekks | 19:29 |
| RB2 | yacc-in, I'll check it out for a more perm. solution. For now, I'm just happy it's working. :D | 19:29 |
| bekks | morph3k: You DONT NEED curl. | 19:29 |
| SolarisBoy | woa | 19:29 |
| morph3k | i have ATT | 19:29 |
| bekks | morph3k: You need the output of ifconfig and the content of /etc/resolv.conf | 19:29 |
| yacc-in | RB2 then i guess ill just finish this quest and try it too :D | 19:29 |
| bekks | morph3k: Even using ATT doesnt require to use curl for determining the information requested. | 19:30 |
| RB2 | yacc-in, :D Nice. Let me know how you make out. | 19:30 |
| morph3k | i got the ifconfig | 19:30 |
| morph3k | but there is no resolv.conf in /etc | 19:30 |
| morph3k | http://snapplr.com/6gzd | 19:30 |
| morph3k | that is my ifconfig | 19:30 |
| bekks | morph3k: Then you dont have a nameserver configured which is why you cant access the internet. | 19:31 |
| yacc-in | sure :) brb ^^ | 19:31 |
| morph3k | got DNS servers | 19:31 |
| morph3k | and Search Domains | 19:31 |
| tgm4883 | morph3k, are you using 12.04 or newer and network manager? | 19:31 |
| bekks | morph3k: You just said you dont. | 19:31 |
| morph3k | on my mac bekks | 19:31 |
| bekks | morph3k: I dont care about your mac. | 19:31 |

| morph3k | its using the same ip | 19:31 |
| SolarisBoy | hmmm | 19:32 |
| MarKsaitis | can somebody answer me a question here, a normal question?!!! Why Ubuntu 12.04 LTS is not updating alpha samba4 to the stable? What on earth is going on? How long do we need to wait for this!!!! | 19:32 |
| tgm4883 | morph3k, are you using 12.04 or newer and network manager? | 19:32 |
| MarKsaitis | HELP! | 19:32 |
| bekks | morph3k: Then you have an IP address conflict. | 19:32 |
| morph3k | im on 12.04 tgm4883 | 19:32 |
| tgm4883 | morph3k, can you pastebin the output of 'nm-tool' | 19:32 |
| bekks | morph3k: Since when do you knwo your ubuntu has the same IP as your Mac? | 19:32 |
| pvh_sa | hey there - i've just upgraded my 12.04 to 12.10 - now in empathy when I hit F4 to see accounts all i see is the "Online Accounts" thing that doesn't include a bunch of my accounts. how do I get to see my account settings?? | 19:32 |
| morph3k | tgm4883: says failed to conenct to the socket | 19:33 |
| morph3k | hold on bekks let met ry something | 19:33 |
| whoever | is there a known prop with bluetooth an 64bit randomly freezing? i don't see any reported bugs | 19:33 |
| bekks | morph3k: You have an IP address conflict - all errors are irrelevant until solving that conflict. | 19:33 |
| tgm4883 | MarKsaitis, because it's not in the main repository | 19:33 |
| MarKsaitis | wtf is ubuntu thinking, not updating one of the most important packages on LTS distro! | 19:33 |
| tgm4883 | MarKsaitis, it's not supported by canonical | 19:34 |
| MarKsaitis | but it is a major soft on a major LTS system | 19:34 |
| MarKsaitis | so basically ubuntu doesn't give a shit about samba 4 ? is that what it is then? | 19:34 |
| MarKsaitis | it's so wrong... | 19:34 |
| SolarisBoy | they probably have a process. | 19:34 |
| tgm4883 | MarKsaitis, not necessarily. You might think it's a major piece of software, others may disagree | 19:34 |
| tgm4883 | !ohmy | MarKsaitis | 19:34 |
| ubottu | MarKsaitis: Please remember that all Ubuntu IRC channels share the same attitude of providing friendly and polite interaction with all users of all ages and cultures. Basically, this means no foul language and no abuse towards others. | 19:34 |
| MarKsaitis | It surelly is, loads of users, that one big fat fact | 19:35 |
| tgm4883 | MarKsaitis, citation needed? | 19:35 |
| morph3k | because I jsut looked bekks | 19:35 |
| bekks | morph3k: Did you solve the IP address conflict yet? | 19:35 |
| tgm4883 | morph3k, I think the "failed to connect to socket" speaks of some issues here | 19:36 |
| MarKsaitis | I dont have the statistics, but it's quite a major soft | 19:36 |
| tgm4883 | MarKsaitis, says one guy on IRC | 19:36 |
| morph3k | wait bekks | 19:36 |
| morph3k | no | 19:36 |
| SolarisBoy | no its not MarKsaitis | 19:36 |
| morph3k | the ip is different | 19:36 |
| bekks | tgm4883: the issue is he is having the same IP on two computers. | 19:36 |
| morph3k | i have it on NAT | 19:36 |
| tgm4883 | bekks, is that confirmed? | 19:36 |
| bekks | morph3k: OK, good luck then on solving your problems - I am out your support request because of the misleading and unreliable information getting from on every question. Good luck. | 19:37 |
| STMelon | just like gimp and libreoffice, MarKsaitis, ubuntu 12.04 is exactly what it is LTS version, its more about stability than the newest stable bleeding edge packages | 19:37 |
| morph3k | im sorry i got confused | 19:38 |
| STMelon | you can, however, update the bleeding edge packages yourself. | 19:38 |
| cnb_ | I've installed Munin 2.0.2 on Ubuntu 12.10, and munin-cgi-html produces URLs which do not contain /cgi-bin/munin-cgi-graph despite having cgiurl_graph set. How can I get munin-cgi-graph running and called correctly? | 19:38 |
| MarKsaitis | STMelon, it's not so much about bleeding edge.... samba 4 is stable, and why keep samba4 alpha in lts? doesn't make sense. Nobody is going to use this samba4 alpha, users are complaining over the internet... that samba4 alpha is worse than nothing | 19:39 |
| MarKsaitis | there is 0 stability with alpha soft | 19:39 |
| tgm4883 | MarKsaitis, it's not in MAIN | 19:39 |
| pvh_sa | MarKsaitis, sure, but you're not going to get anywhere with arguing this on IRC, right? the teams responsible aren't here listening | 19:39 |
| MarKsaitis | I know, but it's a major soft in heterogenous networks | 19:39 |
| tgm4883 | MarKsaitis, which means that Canonical hasn't committed to supporting it. Which means the best case you have, is to plead with MOTU to do a backport | 19:40 |
| SolarisBoy | samba isn't a base package if you wanted it you would add it anyway so in your case you would take the steps to add the version you require correct? | 19:40 |
| tgm4883 | MarKsaitis, and no, it is not a major piece of software. | 19:40 |
| MarKsaitis | I know.... it just sucks as I cant do page 9 bottom http://www.sogo.nu/files/docs/SOGo%20Native%20Microsoft%20Outlook%20Configuration.pdf because I have samba4 from sources.... but these steps want to install that alpha crap and other packages which are from alpha meta | 19:40 |
| labsin | tgm4883: fyi: You get a pannel icon and the popups when you install xchat-indicator. It doesn't install automaticly | 19:40 |
| tgm4883 | MarKsaitis, I'm not 100% familiar with it, but unless you are immitating a Windows 2008 Domain Controller, you don't need Samba4 | 19:41 |
| tgm4883 | labsin, great find! I've been wanting that back | 19:41 |
| STMelon | xchat-indicator is nice | 19:41 |
| melty | lol | 19:41 |
| STMelon | i had to dl the sound file to get xchat sounds though | 19:41 |
| labsin | STMelon sound file? | 19:42 |
| STMelon | xchat-sounds.tar.gz | 19:42 |
| STMelon | that 1 | 19:42 |
| STMelon | so it beeps when you say my name .. yadda yadda | 19:42 |
| STMelon | sorry, i know this isnt #xchat | 19:43 |

| === linuxthefish is now known as linuxthefish` | ||
| labsin | STMelon: it's in its repo and ubuntu specific... :D and the xchat irc was empty | 19:44 |
| STMelon | extract the .tar file, i created a sound folder in /home/myname/.xchat2 and put that extracted file into the sound folder i created in .xchat2 | 19:44 |
| STMelon | no it wasnt | 19:44 |
| tgm4883 | pvh_sa, if you're talking about the indicator, I restarted xchat | 19:44 |
| STMelon | or at least well, i didnt look in repo | 19:44 |

| morph3k | thats the only way i thought u could | 19:46 |
| tgm4883 | morph3k, you are using network manager? | 19:46 |

| morph3k | im in interfaces right now | 19:48 |
| morph3k | wtf do i type in here | 19:48 |

| tgm4883 | MarKsaitis, unless someone does the work to backport it | 19:51 |
| tgm4883 | MarKsaitis, this guy seems to have opened a support request with Canonical and gotten an answer http://ubuntuforums.org/showpost.php?p=12458586&postcount=14 | 19:52 |
| MarKsaitis | ironic :) samba guys say that it is not good installing it from these repos as it's alpha nonworking stuff = useless, they recommend building from source. However when you build from source, there gets to be issues with other stuff which depends on samba4.... and therefore any package manager installs of soft depending on it do not work, makes stuff impractical to use as I can't even touch it. It's the same as lic | 19:52 |
| MarKsaitis | king icecream over the window | 19:52 |
| MarKsaitis | I seen it.... is that how they make money then? but leaving some bugs in the system and just going away | 19:53 |
| tgm4883 | MarKsaitis, they commit to supporting certain packages | 19:53 |
| tgm4883 | MarKsaitis, samba4 isn't one of those packages | 19:54 |
| MarKsaitis | is there such a distro where samba4 would be the main package? any of the big good distros? | 19:55 |
| === linuxthefish` is now known as linuxthefish | ||
| tgm4883 | MarKsaitis, it's not in the MAIN repository, so it's not supported by canonical (samba4 is in the universe repo) | 19:56 |
| tgm4883 | MarKsaitis, samba4 release is in debian experimental | 19:56 |

| morph3k | where can i find it | 19:56 |
| tgm4883 | morph3k, this is a small home network? | 19:57 |
| morph3k | yep | 19:57 |
| tgm4883 | morph3k, it's probably your router then | 19:57 |
| MarKsaitis | I know, why have it there anyways... no point. What do you mean experimental... there is a stable version of it... the code is ok, no more experiments with it, its good to use :D | 19:57 |
| tgm4883 | MarKsaitis, I don't have the time to discuss the differences in repositories and what experimental means. Basically it's needing testing on debian (which isn't 100% true, as then it would be in the testing repo) | 19:58 |
| morph3k | it didnt change tgm4883.... | 19:58 |
| woodt | Currently using Drupal 6 on 10.04. Seems that core and a few modules haven't been updated lately. Anyone know what gives? | 19:58 |
| STMelon | for debian and/or canonical to determine if the package is stable to work with their OS it goes through testing, just because it may be stable within the samba community, it may not be completely functional within debian/ubuntu | 19:58 |
| tgm4883 | morph3k, you put all that info in there? | 19:58 |
| tgm4883 | morph3k, in /etc/network/interfaces? | 19:58 |
| MarKsaitis | whatever the reasons are, I still find it ridiculous :) thank you for your atention | 19:59 |
| STMelon | even so, if it is functional in the debian/ubuntu world. it still goes through a process | 19:59 |
| morph3k | yes tgm4883 | 19:59 |
| morph3k | then id id the ifconfig eth0 down | 19:59 |

| tgm4883 | morph3k, did you restart networking or the machine? | 19:59 |
| tgm4883 | morph3k, that isn't restarting networking | 19:59 |
| morph3k | ok how do i restart the networking | 19:59 |
| === Nomad__ is now known as Guest94712 | ||
| tgm4883 | MarKsaitis, there is lots of software that doesn't get updated in an LTS, some that are far more used than Samba4 | 19:59 |
| tgm4883 | morph3k, 'sudo /etc/init.d/networking restart' | 20:00 |
| STMelon | kinda like windows, the updates dont install libreoffice 4 etc etc .. you have to manually install it yourself | 20:00 |
| STMelon | here in ubuntu, you have the choice to install the upgrades as well. | 20:00 |
| STMelon | but you have to do it manually | 20:00 |
| tgm4883 | STMelon, the samba4 team hasn't even updated the samba4 PPA | 20:00 |
| DeadWeasel | anybody gotten a wallpaper to span dual monitors in 12.04? | 20:01 |
| MarKsaitis | well, on windows, the os and the programs are two seperate things, OS is stable, and you can have whatever soft installed and running in seconds, experimental or just for the plain fun - the system doesnt give a toss :D | 20:01 |

| STMelon | i dont use samba i have it disabled anyays | 20:01 |
| morph3k | blah just errors tgm4883 | 20:01 |
| morph3k | i give up | 20:01 |
| tgm4883 | STMelon, I'm wondering if it's as easy as a apt-get source samba4, grabbing the release, and building it | 20:01 |
| tgm4883 | morph3k, what errors? | 20:01 |
| morph3k | failed to open statefile /run/network/ifstate no such file or directory | 20:01 |
| STMelon | prolly, or the ppa | 20:01 |
| morph3k | for both ifdown and ifup | 20:01 |
| tgm4883 | MarKsaitis, that is very much the same thing for Linux, only better (eg. more separate) | 20:02 |
| tgm4883 | morph3k, why are you doing ifdown and ifup? | 20:02 |
| tgm4883 | morph3k, how about you don't touch those again and just reboot the machine | 20:02 |
| MarKsaitis | well, if it is, I only want to install sogo + samba 4 + openchange = impossible mission :) not so seperate | 20:02 |
| tgm4883 | STMelon, well there isn't a PPA for samba4 that has the release on it for 12.04 | 20:02 |
| STMelon | tell MarKsaitis that, like i said i dont even have samba enabled | 20:03 |
| STMelon | lol | 20:03 |
| tgm4883 | MarKsaitis, have you tried what I suggested above? | 20:03 |
| STMelon | or better yet, i dont have samba installed | 20:03 |
| morph3k | i didnt | 20:03 |
| morph3k | look tgm4883 | 20:03 |
| MarKsaitis | tgm4883, which sugestion? :) | 20:03 |
| sidney_ | Yesterday I had a problem with 10.04 booting to a black screen. The problem had to do with hibernation so it is working now | 20:03 |
| tgm4883 | MarKsaitis, doing the apt-get source, grabbing the release tarball,and seeing if it builds | 20:04 |
| morph3k | http://snapplr.com/tr57 tgm4883 | 20:04 |
| morph3k | i got to save a little bit of code | 20:04 |
| morph3k | so | 20:04 |
| === root is now known as Guest46388 | ||
| tgm4883 | morph3k, interesting | 20:04 |
| morph3k | it happens i guess | 20:04 |
| morph3k | ill just reinstall | 20:04 |
| MarKsaitis | tgm4883, well, I built it from source already. samba4 is working like a charm from source | 20:04 |
| MarKsaitis | no problems whatsoever with it :) | 20:04 |
| tgm4883 | MarKsaitis, ok, then I'm really not sure the issue then | 20:05 |
| tgm4883 | MarKsaitis, unless you are saying it should just be available | 20:05 |
| MarKsaitis | the problem is, that the system thinks samba4 is not installed and none of the other library packages going with it are installed. | 20:05 |
| tgm4883 | MarKsaitis, well doing what I suggested above would resolve that | 20:05 |
| MarKsaitis | and having said that, if I try to apt-get install openchange, the systems shuts me up in a second.... It sugest me that crappy samba4 alpha.... | 20:05 |
| Guest46388 | i have problem with backtrack 5 | 20:05 |
| tgm4883 | MarKsaitis, as you would have the package installed | 20:06 |
| tgm4883 | !backtrack | Guest46388 | 20:06 |
| ubottu | Guest46388: 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) | 20:06 |
| MarKsaitis | tgm4883, I dont get it :) | 20:06 |
| tgm4883 | MarKsaitis, I mean, I'm willing to try it after lunch if you want | 20:06 |
| MarKsaitis | tell me what do you mean as I didn't quite get it | 20:07 |
| tgm4883 | MarKsaitis, if you grab the source (via apt-get source samba4) it downloads the packaging stuff for samba4, then grab the release tarball, and you can build it (eg. make a .deb of samba 4) | 20:07 |
| tgm4883 | MarKsaitis, then just install that deb | 20:07 |
| tgm4883 | MarKsaitis, there might be some tweaking involved, I haven't tried doing that but it should work | 20:07 |
| tgm4883 | You'll probably need a 'apt-get build-deps samba4' in there somewhere | 20:08 |

| * genii-around slides phunyguy a coffee | 20:08 | |
| DeadWeasel | anybody gotten a wallpaper to span dual monitors in 12.04? | 20:08 |
| morph3k | guinpennep: format it to FAT32 | 20:08 |
| morph3k | put ubuntu on it | 20:08 |
| morph3k | boot from USB | 20:08 |
| histo | !usb | guinpennep | 20:08 |
| ubottu | guinpennep: For information about installing Ubuntu from USB flash drives, see https://help.ubuntu.com/community/Installation/FromUSBStick - For a persistent live USB install, see: https://wiki.ubuntu.com/LiveUsbPendrivePersistent | 20:08 |
| guinpennep | Ok, i am very new.. Just a moment. | 20:09 |
| guinpennep | How do I format my hardrive? With disk? | 20:09 |
| MarKsaitis | tgm4883, sounds like too much advanced for me as i never tried this stuff, I bet it wouldnt work for me and I would find myself after 1 day even in a bigger hole digging some other stuff in this whole thing, like in 10th level recursion trying to solve problem underneath problem | 20:09 |
| morph3k | nope that usb will doit for ya :) | 20:09 |
| guinpennep | Accidently installed 1500 files | 20:09 |
| morph3k | if u can though | 20:09 |
| morph3k | getting it on a dvd is better | 20:09 |
| morph3k | and guinpennep | 20:09 |
| histo | guinpennep You can format it from the usb. | 20:09 |
| morph3k | if ur REALLY new | 20:09 |
| guinpennep | from the usb? | 20:09 |
| morph3k | u might want to look at linux mint | 20:10 |
| tgm4883 | MarKsaitis, you've installed something from source, you have done more than most people and aren't very far from making a package | 20:10 |
| histo | guinpennep: what's you native language? | 20:10 |
| morph3k | it has a lot better GUI | 20:10 |
| guinpennep | I just dropped out of college, micro soft server. | 20:10 |
| tgm4883 | MarKsaitis, that said, I'll try it after lunch and see what happens | 20:10 |
| guinpennep | English | 20:10 |
| morph3k | the ubuntu GUI blows now | 20:10 |
| morph3k | i just use ubuntu for server | 20:10 |
| morph3k | bc its got a nice solid infrastructure | 20:10 |
| morph3k | but they ruined it with unity | 20:10 |
| MarKsaitis | tgm4883, thank you :) sounds very kind of you, I doubt it's gonna work but hey :) | 20:10 |
| guinpennep | Going to get my certification in linux, just read the begginers manual. | 20:10 |
| tgm4883 | morph3k, unity is pretty nice | 20:10 |
| histo | !notunity | morph3k | 20:10 |
| ubottu | morph3k: Ubuntu 11.10 and higher use GNOME 3 with the !unity shell by default. To use GNOME Shell instead, install the "gnome-shell" package and investigate "gnome-tweak-tool". For GNOME Fallback mode, which is similar to GNOME 2, install "gnome-panel". Both packages will place entries in the Sessions dropdown. Using Natty? See !classic | 20:10 |
| STMelon | <- likes unity | 20:11 |
| tgm4883 | MarKsaitis, if you stay in this channel, I'll let you know | 20:11 |

| morph3k | can u put Xfce on it> | 20:11 |
| histo | morph3k: yes | 20:11 |
| MarKsaitis | since I went with sources regarding samba4 stuff, I think I will need to source build openchange too | 20:11 |
| histo | !xfce | morph3k | 20:11 |
| ubottu | morph3k: Xubuntu is Ubuntu with Xfce as the desktop environment. More info at http://www.xubuntu.org/ - To install from Ubuntu: « sudo apt-get install xubuntu-desktop » - Join #xubuntu for support - See also: !Ubuntu and !Xubuntu-Channels | 20:11 |

| morph3k | xfce is nice | 20:11 |
| guinpennep | I am going to stick with ubuntu for now. | 20:11 |
| morph3k | guinpennep: go with xubuntu.org | 20:11 |
| morph3k | xfce is WAY BETTER | 20:11 |

| Apes | yacc-in: Office apps and similar things | 20:46 |
| yacc-in | why would office apps need java? | 20:47 |
| yacc-in | that makes no sense at all :D | 20:47 |
| yacc-in | if yours do, please use better office apps :p | 20:47 |
| daze | dariush: Linux has great support and tools for programmers. In fact, it's best suited for them. Graphical designers, video and audio people have harder time here, but some still manage. Programmers and word-smiths are totally at home. It's also perfect for all the web browsing you need. Gamers are better suited by Windows, but the situation is slowly changing for the better with a recent release of Steam for Linux. | 20:47 |
| Apes | yacc-in: Somewhere around 50% of all internet apps are Java based. | 20:48 |
| yacc-in | Apes: i dont think so oO | 20:48 |
| yacc-in | javascript yes | 20:48 |
| yacc-in | but java... no way... | 20:48 |
| iceroot | Apes: that is wrong | 20:48 |
| iceroot | Apes: and offtopic | 20:48 |
| daze | Apes: no way that's right | 20:48 |
| Apes | yacc-in: You're just used to userland internet apps, but corporations take up a huge chunk. And they use mostly Java. | 20:48 |
| Apes | Cisco's VPN stuff uses Java, for example | 20:49 |
| yacc-in | thats the same myth like most companies still use IE 5 | 20:49 |
| jutt | hello allll i buy stuff | 20:49 |
| daze | enterprise uses Java, but it should not take 50% imho | 20:49 |
| yacc-in | what VPN Stuff? the config website? you dont use that... | 20:49 |
| tripelb | histo I am in windows now and can see 2 partitions on the HD and maybe 3. One is named F: and called "local drive" while the CD is E: | 20:49 |
| jutt | hello allll i buy stuff plz tell me i open lr cc cvv room | 20:49 |
| tripelb | His to I am on phone and got disconnected here. | 20:50 |
| tripelb | histo: I am on phone and got disconnected here. | 20:50 |
| jutt | hello allll i buy stuff plz tell me i open lr cc cvv room | 20:50 |
| yacc-in | but yeah, cisco is a good example for why java sucks. to access the java config webapp i need to instalol a really old netscape version using wine. | 20:50 |
| DJones | jutt: This is Ubuntu support, do you have a support question? | 20:50 |
| yacc-in | because java is not a tiny bit plattform independent... >_> | 20:51 |
| tripelb | jutt: you are in #ubuntu please tell your setup and your problem. | 20:52 |
| dariush | daze : I love OpenSource world, Can I learn ubuntu fast for programming fast? I am a Java programmer and know a developer for android, is eclipse in ubuntu good for programming for ubuntu Or ...? | 20:52 |
| * yacc-in runs away scared and screaming \o/ "ahhh eclipse....." | 20:53 | |
| daze | dariush: yes, Eclipse works on Ubuntu the same way it works on Windows. I can't tell you it will be easy to feel comfortable in GNU/Linux world, but once you learn a few things, you'll never go back. Also, you'll fall in love with the command line and simplicity/customizability of things. Also, the community and spirit ;) | 20:54 |
| tripelb | my main problem is gparted can't see partitions and I must fix this. Fdisk sees partitions. Windows sees partitions, the NTFS ones anyway.. | 20:54 |
| yacc-in | daze: speaking of that: how can i change the position of system notifications? or the position of the "dock"? :o | 20:55 |
| daze | dariush: btw, Android is basically a Linux kernel with Java shell | 20:55 |
| daze | yacc-in: if you're using Unity, you can't, sadly. Yet. | 20:55 |
| yacc-in | not even notifications? oO | 20:55 |
| yacc-in | why would i want them on the secondary screen? :( | 20:55 |
| yacc-in | can i please become head of QA of ubuntu? :( | 20:56 |
| === ke5pcv-away is now known as ke5pcv | ||

| dariush | daze : yes i know about android but I think its a little diffrent, ubuntu is originally linux and more interesting in my mind :) | 20:57 |
| yacc-in | application indicators? | 20:57 |
| daze | dariush: Andorid is less 'open', so to speak. I await Ubuntu on phones! :) | 20:57 |

| ryansipes | daze: Also, two phones already announced for October | 21:00 |
| yacc-in | xangua: thanks, i will give it a try | 21:01 |

| Micky | googling I found that I have to try with cat .xsession-errors command in order to see what is the problem | 21:04 |
| tripelb | dariush: I don't know. I am still looking for the place to connect with that community, before I start. Posting on ubuntuforums.org will be my next step. It's a good resource. | 21:04 |
| Fox1976 | VPN - I connect my wheezy to a zeroshell openvp and i can work quite good. In the same house if i connect with ubuntu 12.10 the vpn seems connected but after 10 sec. i lost connection with other pc in vpn. Any idea? | 21:04 |
| Micky | and my result is http://pastebin.com/ExZPk54p | 21:04 |
| Micky | any idea on how to solve it ? | 21:04 |
| dariush | daze : can use free software to make apps for sell? | 21:05 |
| tripelb | Micky, all on one line or the person who reads your third line will assume you are being helped and in the middle of a conversation. - takes a bit of getting used to around here and... Sometimes other is no one around ATM who knows your problem. | 21:05 |
| e | Where I am? | 21:06 |
| dariush | tripelb : what do you think about it? android or ubuntu on phone? | 21:06 |
| === e is now known as Guest27179 | ||
| dariush | e : here :) | 21:06 |
| daze | dariush: GPL allows you to make money on software. It just makes you give the source code along with the program. So there are various money-making schemes, it's a broad topic really. | 21:06 |
| Guest27179 | where& | 21:06 |
| Micky | sorry tripelb | 21:07 |
| yacc-in | xangua: hmm i dont seem to be able to move them from the secondary to the primary screen with that :/ | 21:07 |
| tripelb | Much, so remember the !ask not reply said to tell your situation, inc hardware and the problem, all on one line. Good luck. I just tried lubuntu and got stuck. | 21:07 |
| daze | dariush: also, you can "use" GPL apps (Eclipse, etc.) to make proprietary software if you don't include any of GPLed code in your programs. It's just that GPL "infects" the codebase with the license and you have to open your source when you release the program. | 21:08 |
| tripelb | Micky: if you remember, the !ask bot reply said to tell your situation, inc hardware and the problem, all on one line. --- Good luck. I just tried lubuntu and got stuck. | 21:08 |
| dariush | daze : can u describe ubuntu in a sentence? | 21:09 |
| Fox1976 | any vpn guru around? | 21:09 |
| Corey | !expert | Fox1976 | 21:09 |
| ubottu | Fox1976: A high percentage of the first questions asked in this channel start with "Does anyone/anybody..." Why not ask your next question (the real one) and find out? See also !details, !gq, and !poll. | 21:09 |
| tripelb | Micky, and I have been trying for over a week to solve this partitioning problem. I have to be patient. Sometimes I can help beginners. | 21:10 |
| daze | dariush: GNU/Linux working out-of-the-box. | 21:10 |
| tgm4883 | daze, I'm not sure that is 100% correct. You only have to release the source code for the open source parts | 21:10 |
| tgm4883 | daze, eg. components can still be closed source | 21:10 |
| Micky | tripelb about the software I have Lubuntu 12.04 and for the hardware I have this: http://pastebin.com/xfyiu0kM. I tried in Lubuntu room but they suggested to try here | 21:11 |
| daze | tgm4883: any code that uses other GPLed code must be GPLed. Components that can work standalone can be licensed separately. This is the case for games, where the engine is opensource, but graphics are not. | 21:11 |
| chrisHPHP | I've installled ubuntu 12.10 alongside windows 8 in EFI, upon boot it boots straight into windows 8 , no grub, I've used boot repair to restore it and it says successful, but it says i have to make my bios boot from sda/efi/ubuntu/grubx64.efi how do I do this? | 21:11 |
| tgm4883 | daze, closed source programs that use open source libraries can exist though | 21:11 |
| chrisHPHP | sda2*** | 21:12 |
| dariush | daze : great. I have a good feel about Open world know. thanks alot daze ;) here is night, good night. | 21:12 |
| daze | tgm4883: only if the open source libraries can be swapped. It's somewhat of a gray area that had discussions in regards to Wordpress/Drupal themes. | 21:12 |
| daze | dariush: good luck with your report ;) | 21:13 |
| chrisHPHP | My computer is an HP paviliong6 model 2244ca | 21:13 |
| escott | tripelb, please don't use fdisk. please send the output of "sudo parted -l" | 21:13 |
| tgm4883 | daze, you're saying it's only ok if the open source libraries can be removed and closed source ones replace them? | 21:14 |
| tgm4883 | daze, I think the issue is that there is zero case law on this | 21:15 |
| escott | chrisHPHP, have you gone into the UEFI menu and made sure that the grub boot option is included in the boot menu | 21:15 |
| media-centre | hallo | 21:16 |
| escott | tgm4883, the terminology in the GPL license is "derivative work" hire a lawyer and get a letter if you are concerned you may be falsely accused of being a derivative work | 21:16 |

| ubottu | gregory: Vai su #ubuntu-it se vuoi parlare in italiano, in questo canale usiamo solo l'inglese. Grazie! (per entrare, scrivi « /join #ubuntu-it » senza virgolette) | 21:17 |
| tgm4883 | escott, that is correct. And just because a closed source program may use an open source library, doesn't make it a deritive work | 21:17 |
| gregory | thanks | 21:17 |
| daze | tgm4883: no, I'm saying that the libraries in use must be used via open APIs or something like that. Meaning that one could write an alternative implementation (that uses any license) and swap the opensource lib being used. | 21:19 |
| daze | if you compile them inside your code, the code is "infected" :) | 21:19 |
| tgm4883 | daze, ah, it was confusing then | 21:20 |
| tgm4883 | <daze> dariush: also, you can "use" GPL apps (Eclipse, etc.) to make proprietary software if you don't include any of GPLed code in your programs. It's just that GPL "infects" the codebase with the license and you have to open your source when you release the program. | 21:20 |
| daze | and you're right about there being no precedent | 21:20 |
| tgm4883 | daze, the way I read that is that if you use an open source program to make proprietary software, you now have to open source your software if you release it | 21:20 |
| daze | yeah, I should maybe have been clearer in separating GPL-licensed tools and GPL-licensed code | 21:20 |
| escott | tgm4883, usually not any more than typing a novel in MS Word means that MSFT owns the copyright on the novel | 21:21 |
| tgm4883 | escott, right, and that is what I was disagreeing with | 21:22 |
| tgm4883 | escott, daze seems I just misunderstood what daze was saying | 21:22 |
| === ARIN is now known as networker | ||
| tgm4883 | this is probably the best answer for all of that http://www.gnu.org/licenses/gpl-faq.html#NFUseGPLPlugins | 21:23 |

| daze | sarthor: read http://httpd.apache.org/docs/2.2/howto/cgi.html. You need to "Options +ExecCGI" for the directory the .pl files are in, chmod them to 755 (i.e. make the file executable) and "AddHandler cgi-script .cgi .pl" | 21:34 |
| MarKsaitis | can smbd pls help me now? | 21:35 |

| daze | sarthor: there are multiple ways to set the handler. But whatever files have the handler cgi-script set, they will be executed as cgi-scripts if the folder has ExecCGI permission and the file is executable on the filesystem | 21:35 |

| MarKsaitis | I don't know, look at page 9, title says its also for ubuntu 12.04 :D but it only talks about debian backports, so I don't know | 21:37 |

| ThinkT510 | tgm4883: never mix different distribution repositories | 21:38 |
| MarKsaitis | well, it implies that it is not needed for ubuntu 12.04 lts? | 21:39 |
| tgm4883 | MarKsaitis, exactly | 21:39 |
| MarKsaitis | wonderful :) | 21:39 |

| daze | `apachectl restart` should be enough | 21:49 |
| giblartar | kostkon: ok wait | 21:49 |
| tgm4883 | leonlemouton, I don't think wireshark would fall under the category of "bandwidth monitor", nor under simple | 21:50 |
| datsmoida | isn't there just some simple command like top | 21:51 |
| datsmoida | that shows how much bandwidth i'm using | 21:51 |

| dydzEz2 | man ive tried everything, ubuntu/xubuntu wont recognize that windows 8 is on the computer unless i use my recovery usb stick to install w8 which always installs uefi (which i dont want) -- wheres the guide for me to make partitions in the free space i have from shrinking apart of my w8 partition | 21:57 |
| bekks | dydzEz2: win8 requires uefi. | 21:58 |
| iceroot | bekks: no | 21:58 |
| dydzEz2 | no it doesnt | 21:59 |
| iceroot | bekks: to get the windows logo on a pc uefi is required but not for the system itself | 21:59 |
| dydzEz2 | ive installed it with uefi and without uefi | 21:59 |
| dydzEz2 | without uefi works fine | 21:59 |
| dydzEz2 | no i can see the windows logo fine without uefi | 21:59 |

| dydzEz2 | anyway i cant find the guide to manually partition the free space in the install | 22:01 |
| tgm4883 | chrishphp, because it surely couldn't be that AMD just makes terrible linux drivers | 22:01 |
| chrishphp | I was not so aware, what would you suggest I try ? | 22:02 |
| dydzEz2 | btw the #3 way i installed, ubuntu still didnt recognize w8 even though it was a uefi install and i could boot w8 in secureboot/uefi | 22:02 |
| tgm4883 | chrishphp, probably starting with A) what video card you have, and B) how you installed the drivers | 22:03 |
| dydzEz2 | what exactly is an OEM Partition for? | 22:03 |
| tgm4883 | dydzEz2, what do you mean by "ubuntu still didn't recognize w8" | 22:03 |

| tgm4883 | chrishphp, so you aren't using the proprietary drivers then? | 22:05 |
| datsmoida | CPU MHz: 2133.408 | 22:05 |
| chrishphp | they are downloading as we speak, that should help? | 22:05 |
| datsmoida | so there is no command to see how much of my processor is being used atm ? | 22:05 |
| purezen | Ok my issue is that the support for the ia32-libs multi-aarch is broken in Ubuntu12.10.. I mean it gives.. "no such file or directory" when trying to run the prebuilt gcc on 64-bit Ubunutu | 22:06 |
| purezen | which usually means missing 32-bit libraries.. | 22:06 |
| tgm4883 | chrishphp, and how are you downloading them? | 22:06 |
| iceroot | datsmoida: the current usage is the "load" shown up in "top" or "uptime" | 22:06 |
| chrishphp | using the additional drivers app | 22:06 |
| iceroot | datsmoida: a load of 1 means 1 core is used 100% | 22:06 |
| tgm4883 | purezen, did you install the 32-bit libraries? | 22:06 |
| iceroot | datsmoida: a load of 3 means 3 cores are at 100%, or one core is at 100% | 22:06 |
| datsmoida | btw iftop is an awesome program ! ! | 22:06 |
| tgm4883 | purezen, ia32-libs doesn't exist anymore | 22:06 |
| purezen | tgm4883: yes.. | 22:07 |
| purezen | tgm4883: but I just installed..:0 | 22:07 |
| bulletrulz | hey i need help i installed e17 but it sends me back to login screen when i try to open it | 22:07 |
| purezen | tgm4883: am a newbie to this development porcess though..:) | 22:07 |
| datsmoida | so load average 0.05 means i am using half a core ? | 22:07 |
| chrishphp | they have installed, I require a restart I think, | 22:07 |
| leonlemouton | datsmoida htop | 22:08 |
| tgm4883 | purezen, oh, hmm, I guess it does still exist | 22:08 |
| away | if your load average is 1 you are using one core (or thread) 100% | 22:08 |
| tgm4883 | purezen, probably need to do a apt-get install <lib>:i386 if you need the 32-bit library for soemthing | 22:08 |
| datsmoida | my load average is always .4 or .5 | 22:08 |
| datsmoida | i think 1/2 core is all i have | 22:08 |
| away | not possible | 22:08 |
| away | grep 'model name' /proc/cpuinfo | wc -l | 22:09 |
| datsmoida | i was told to add ram on this vps but i am hitting some other performance wall | 22:09 |
| purezen | tgm4883: you mean.. something like.. '.. install ia32-libs:i386'..? | 22:09 |
| away | issue the above command to see how many cores/threads you have | 22:09 |
| tgm4883 | purezen, no, I mean figure out what library you need, then install the 32-bit version of it | 22:10 |
| datsmoida | away - CPU (0.6 GHz) 1 | 22:10 |
| datsmoida | that is my current processor supposedly | 22:10 |
| away | datsmoida, then everything below 1 is good | 22:10 |
| away | you might wanna read http://blog.scoutapp.com/articles/2009/07/31/understanding-load-averages | 22:10 |
| datsmoida | this is very bad news | 22:10 |
| datsmoida | i have repeatedly added ram to this machine | 22:11 |
| bekks | datsmoida: And? | 22:11 |
| datsmoida | does not look like cpu is overtaxed | 22:11 |
| datsmoida | bandwidth is not being nearly met | 22:11 |
| chrishphp_ | yea proprietary drivers are installed through addition drivers app, and it's still glitchy | 22:11 |
| datsmoida | and yet i am failing to be able to run more programs and the machine literally freezes | 22:11 |
| * tgm4883 wonders what glitchy means | 22:11 | |
| away | datsmoida, maybe your CPU usage/disk i/o/RAM usage likes to spike | 22:12 |
| datsmoida | can you say that another way | 22:12 |
| bekks | datsmoida: Then you have to investigate the problem (stop every program NOT vital for investigation), and investigate whats going on. | 22:12 |
| dell | Hi, Does anybody know how should I change this command to get the result? | 22:12 |
| dell | find . -iname *.txt -execdir cp '{}' ~/Documents/target | 22:12 |
| datsmoida | that is what i am doing | 22:12 |
| chrishphp_ | hard to explain, like.. when I move windows around, little lines spike up and disappear , foldy kind of glitchy looking things | 22:12 |
| away | maybe you have some process that doesn't use a constant amount of RAM/CPU | 22:12 |
| datsmoida | i have no other programs running | 22:12 |
| bekks | dell: What doy ou want to achieve? | 22:12 |
| datsmoida | i am able to run exactly 13 instances of my program | 22:12 |
| chrishphp_ | the menu's flicker when i scroll through them and stuff | 22:12 |
| away | datsmoida, what does $ ulimit say | 22:13 |
| dell | bekks: I want to find and copy every jpg file | 22:13 |
| bekks | datsmoida: Then run _1_ instance, and check whats going on. Add one more instance, check again, etc. | 22:13 |
| dell | This command return an error | 22:13 |
| bekks | dell: find . -type f -iname "*.jpg" -exec cp {} /your/target/directory/ \; | 22:13 |
| datsmoida | i did that till i got to 13 | 22:14 |
| dell | bekks: let me check that | 22:14 |
| datsmoida | regardless what i do that is the limit | 22:14 |
| chrishphp_ | would running 32 bit be more stable or better for my model of AMD | 22:14 |
| tgm4883 | this channel is slightly maddening | 22:14 |
| datsmoida | then programs start to crap out, ultimately machine freezes | 22:14 |
| bekks | datsmoida: WHAT did you check in detail? CPU load, memory consumption, I/O statistics, I/O bandwidth, network charateristics? | 22:15 |
| datsmoida | i checked network usage with ntop | 22:15 |
| datsmoida | no | 22:15 |
| datsmoida | with iftop | 22:15 |
| bekks | datsmoida: So why did you add RAM when just checking network usage? :) | 22:15 |
| datsmoida | ulimit says unlimited | 22:15 |
| datsmoida | dunno what that means | 22:16 |
| datsmoida | bekks - well some tech at the vps told me before, oh your scripts are hitting ram hard u need more ram, so i did and that seemed true to a point | 22:16 |
| tgm4883 | chrishphp_, I don't see why it would | 22:16 |
| datsmoida | before i could run 4-5 programs, now i can run 13 | 22:16 |
| datsmoida | but that was after i doubled or tripled the ram | 22:16 |
| bekks | datsmoida: Then check the other points mentioned. | 22:16 |
| datsmoida | now i have 5 units of ram, they are all visible in top | 22:16 |
| datsmoida | but my upper limit does not increase | 22:16 |
| chrishphp_ | okay, maybe I should try 12.04 instead of 12.10 | 22:17 |
| datsmoida | so it is something beyond RAM | 22:17 |
| datsmoida | and this guy is off the clock right now | 22:17 |
| away | 5 units of ram? | 22:17 |
| iceroot | datsmoida: how much ram? | 22:17 |
| tgm4883 | chrishphp_, possibly. I run 12.10 on my dell laptop with a HD7500M/7600M family graphics card | 22:17 |
| tgm4883 | chrishphp_, works semi fine | 22:17 |
| bekks | datsmoida: RAM is measured in Bytes - how much MB/GB RAM do you have? | 22:17 |
| dell | bekks: How can I restrict it to find just in the current directory? | 22:18 |
| tgm4883 | man find? | 22:18 |
| bekks | dell: In the current directory, you just need: copy *.jpg /your/target/ | 22:18 |
| iceroot | dell: -maxdepth 0 | 22:18 |
| chrishphp_ | yeah there is enough flickering and strange things happening that it's a problem, and the grub menu no longer loads windows 8, i need to fix that somehow, | 22:18 |
| datsmoida | how much ram = 5 x256 | 22:18 |
| tgm4883 | chrishphp_, rm windows8 ;) | 22:19 |
| bekks | datsmoida: So how much is it? :) | 22:19 |
| away | datsmoida, what does free -m show? | 22:19 |
| datsmoida | getting same performance as with 3x256 | 22:19 |
| datsmoida | so now adding RAM does nothing | 22:19 |
| bekks | datsmoida: You didnt even measured performance, but just the number of instances. | 22:19 |
| iceroot | datsmoida: why should the performance always increase when you put in more ram? | 22:19 |
| bekks | datsmoida: So check the other parameters mentioned. | 22:19 |
| chrishphp_ | I installed ubuntu, there was no grub menu, it booted windows 8 right away , then i used grub repair, grub came up ubuntu loaded, but not the windows entries, RM windows 8 ? what? sorry | 22:19 |
| datsmoida | total used free shared buffers cached | 22:19 |

| chrishphp_ | i mean Boot repair" | 22:19 |
| away | k, you have 1.5GB RAM... should be enough | 22:20 |
| iceroot | datsmoida: and you are out of ram | 22:20 |
| bekks | datsmoida: You have at least 6 "units" of RAM, not 5 :) | 22:20 |
| away | yep, only 75mb free | 22:20 |
| tgm4883 | and swapping | 22:20 |
| bekks | Swapping hard. :) | 22:20 |
| dell | Thanks all | 22:20 |
| datsmoida | bekks - performance is easy to measure in the sense that the programs die on failure | 22:20 |
| iceroot | datsmoida: you only have 75mb free ram | 22:21 |
| tgm4883 | perhaps you should figure out why your scripts are using so much ram? | 22:21 |
| away | datsmoida, you should get more RAM | 22:21 |
| datsmoida | i can only keep 13 alive at one time, if i add more the first ones start to get killed | 22:21 |
| bekks | datsmoida: Thats the most pointless definition of measuring something I | 22:21 |
| bekks | 've ever heard. | 22:21 |
| tgm4883 | away, I'd argue he has -600MB ram | 22:21 |
| datsmoida | i have no idea why performance should increase with RAM just blindly following advice | 22:21 |
| chrishphp_ | tgm4883 , what do you mean rm 8 ? | 22:21 |
| away | tgm swap can't be used for everything | 22:21 |
| tgm4883 | chrishphp_, it was a joke? as in rm (remove) windows 8 | 22:22 |
| away | tgm4883 he's jokingly wanting you to remove windows 8 | 22:22 |
| datsmoida | so i am still out of ram ? | 22:22 |
| bekks | datsmoida: Yes you are. | 22:22 |
| iceroot | datsmoida: you only have 75mb ram free | 22:22 |
| tgm4883 | away, I'm saying he needs more ram as it's swapping | 22:22 |
| iceroot | datsmoida: which is not very much | 22:22 |
| bekks | At least 512M more would be a good deal. | 22:22 |
| datsmoida | so why is it that my performance does not improve as i have added the last 512K ram ? | 22:22 |
| tgm4883 | away, as in, he is currently 600MB in the hole | 22:22 |
| tgm4883 | lol, 512K | 22:22 |
| iceroot | datsmoida: because you are still out of ram as we said 5 times now | 22:22 |
| tgm4883 | datsmoida, you need to add another 3 units | 22:23 |
| iceroot | datsmoida: the system will start to use swap (stored on the hdd and 1000 times slower then ram) | 22:23 |
| boriseto | one little question. for some reason I lost picture thumbnails and I don't know how to get them back. So they are not switched of, but not showing (the icons is an empty file with a clock on it). Does anybody had the same problem or somebody knows a solution for it? | 22:23 |
| datsmoida | iceroot - my point is that my performance was the same with 512k than it is now with 1280k | 22:23 |
| iceroot | datsmoida: and 1000 times slower is just the description for the access-time of the data, not the data-transer | 22:24 |
| datsmoida | so adding 768K so far of RAM has done nothing to increase performance, why ? | 22:24 |
| iceroot | datsmoida: again and for the 6. time, you are out of ram | 22:24 |
| === DarkAce-Z is now known as DarkAceZ | ||
| datsmoida | if i am "swapping hard" now, imagine how hard i was swapping at 512K ! | 22:24 |
| tgm4883 | datsmoida, our point is, you were probably swapping a whole lot more with 512M of ram, than you are with 1280M of ram, but you are still swapping | 22:24 |

| iceroot | datsmoida: reread everything we told you | 22:28 |
| datsmoida | i mean literally when i had 512K of RAM i could keep 13 instances of my script going, at 1280 exactly the same | 22:28 |
| Kuroki | weŕe just stating facts | 22:28 |
| bekks | datsmoida: Yes. | 22:28 |
| bekks | datsmoida: You had 512_M_ not 512_k_ | 22:28 |
| tgm4883 | datsmoida, it could be 100X more than you originally had, depending on the software | 22:28 |
| bekks | The difference is 1024 times bigger. | 22:29 |
| _DomY-Dom | ubottu: The link doesn't have Quetzal as an option. Concerning the procedure with Synaptic, this means that I can get the package kind of within a script and transfer via USB ? Could you detail that or give me a link for this procedure ? Thank you very much. | 22:29 |
| ubottu | _DomY-Dom: I am only a bot, please don't think I'm intelligent :) | 22:29 |
| _DomY-Dom | iceroot: Any idea concerning my question to ubottu ? | 22:30 |
| tgm4883 | datsmoida, lets look at the facts. You had your VPS look at it and they said you needed more RAM. You added RAM, and didn't see an improvement. You showed us how much RAM your computer is using. We told you it's using all of your RAM, plus almost 700 more MB. | 22:30 |
| tgm4883 | datsmoida, eg. you need 700MB more ram | 22:30 |
| datsmoida | so you are literally looking at home much swap is used = i need that much ram + | 22:31 |
| bekks | tgm4883: 700? Why? :) | 22:31 |
| tgm4883 | datsmoida, now, after you do that, you are probably going to try to run more instances of your script, in which case, you will probably need more ram | 22:31 |
| tgm4883 | bekks, didn't it say it was swapping 680MB? | 22:31 |
| datsmoida | so presumably when i had less ram but the same apparent performance prolly the OS was using way more swap space from the hard disk ? | 22:31 |
| tgm4883 | Swap: 1023 679 344 | 22:32 |
| bekks | tgm4883: Oh, indeed. I was remembering a wrong number :) | 22:32 |
| datsmoida | tgm4883 - yeah i am trying to actually formulize how much hardware i need for so many additional instances | 22:32 |
| tgm4883 | datsmoida, yes, that is exactly what we are saying | 22:32 |
| datsmoida | but as you can see i am still working out the foundations here | 22:32 |
| bekks | datsmoida: You need about 700M more RAM for running your 13 instances. | 22:32 |
| datsmoida | 100x lol come on | 22:32 |
| tgm4883 | datsmoida, what you should probably do, is run 1 instance of it, and see how much ram 1 instance uses. Then figure out how many instances you want to run, and then multiply the two | 22:33 |
| _DomY-Dom | Can no one get me this linux-firmware-nonfree as a tar file or someting I can decompress and install with dpkg ? | 22:33 |
| iceroot | _DomY-Dom: packahes.ubuntu.com | 22:33 |
| _DomY-Dom | linux-firmware-nonfree for Quantal Quetzal on a MacBook Pro 8,1 | 22:33 |
| _DomY-Dom | iceroot: thanks wil have a look. | 22:33 |
| iceroot | _DomY-Dom: there you can download the debfiles | 22:33 |
| iceroot | _DomY-Dom: install them with "sudo dpkg -i file.deb" | 22:34 |
| tgm4883 | datsmoida, yea, it could be 100X more, if you wanted to run tons and tons of instances | 22:34 |
| _DomY-Dom | iceroot: cheers but any idea where the one I'm looking for would be ? | 22:34 |

| DJones | !webmin | ASHER1 | 22:45 |
| ubottu | ASHER1: webmin is no longer supported in Debian and Ubuntu. It is not compatible with the way that Ubuntu packages handle configuration files, and is likely to cause unexpected issues with your system. | 22:45 |
| histo | magn3ts: You could vote for the feature request | 22:45 |

| janisozaur | nova_, there is no 'api list'. if you use ubuntu, most packages come with -dec, -dev flavours (especially libs). you can also 'apt-get source <package_name>' | 22:47 |

| guinpennep | Just gave up 18 years of windows experience for good | 23:04 |
| histo | datsmoida: Do you have swap configured then? | 23:04 |
| datsmoida | i don't mean they said my swap partition is too large, i mean they said my machine was using a huge amount of swap space b/c it is out of RAM | 23:05 |
| datsmoida | it was unrelated to the size of my swap partition | 23:05 |
| histo | datsmoida: Right once ram is full swap should be used so the system doesn't crash. | 23:05 |
| histo | datsmoida: What is this script? | 23:05 |
| guinpennep | swap is double of ram, linux.org says, right? | 23:05 |
| iceroot | datsmoida: when something is stored in swap it does not mean you have not enough ram, but when free is saying you only have 75MB ram left, then you are out of ram | 23:06 |
| histo | guinpennep: no | 23:06 |
| guinpennep | Oh, boot is double ram, then double swap? | 23:06 |
| tgm4883 | guinpennep, that is an old rule of thumb | 23:06 |

| guinpennep | Ok, see. I just gave up 18 years of windows experience. | 23:07 |
| janisozaur | guinpennep, if you've got plenty of ram, then there's no need for that much of swap. depends on how much ram do you usually need | 23:07 |

| histo | datsmoida: And you need to run more of these scripts? | 23:07 |

| iceroot | gilb: but i would recommend dualboot | 23:15 |
| BillyZane | janisozaur: thanks, i'll give it a look | 23:15 |
| histo | BillyZane: and LVM would be the way to go. You could add other disks to the space etc... | 23:15 |
| flintser | iceroot: you can use guest additions for directx on virtualbox but it is still very slow | 23:15 |
| BillyZane | can I install LVM now? | 23:15 |
| BillyZane | is it too late to have an LVM? | 23:16 |
| janisozaur | BillyZane, you can only have 4 primary partitions with MBR | 23:16 |
| histo | BillyZane: That is if you can't just expand the partition to the free space. YOu can resize and move etc.. using gparted though relatively easy. | 23:16 |
| iceroot | flintser: i thought it was just opengl | 23:16 |

| janisozaur | BillyZane, you might want to use gparted-live to resize, they tend to do lots of stuff and release it more often than ubuntu keeps up | 23:17 |
| guinpennep | my comp is getting very buggy. | 23:17 |
| janisozaur | histo, what do you mean? | 23:17 |
| histo | cariboulou: Does it appear that the GUI is still running just off the screen? Can you press the super key and see part of the dash? | 23:17 |
| guinpennep | Is it possible I can screw up the partitions so I cannot reinstall ubuntu 12.10? | 23:17 |
| datsmoida | tgm4883 - i did that, it just shows all the instances of my script | 23:17 |
| flintser | iceroot: yep it normally is but if you install guest additions in safe mode you get to choose directx | 23:18 |
| BillyZane | janisozaur: Ok, I'll look in to that application. Would it allow me to shift and move around partitioned data without deleting the information? | 23:18 |
| histo | janisozaur: a GUID partition table. vs. msdos partition table. | 23:18 |
| tgm4883 | datsmoida, can you pastebin the output? | 23:18 |
| datsmoida | there's 13 instances running | 23:18 |
| histo | BillyZane: Yeah it will | 23:18 |
| BillyZane | wow, epic | 23:18 |
| flintser | but nevertheless no vm is really for gaming, ive done enough testing to say that | 23:18 |
| cariboulou | histo: I was able to crtl+alt+t into terminal, then start xchat from there. (that's how I am talking now) No, the super key does nothing at the moment. | 23:18 |
| histo | BillyZane: but it's not full proof. For instance if you had a power failure while it was moving data obviously you run the risk of losing some. Or if the program goes nutz. | 23:18 |
| datsmoida | tgm4883 - it just shows the command that was called and the pid, nothing else, 13 lines | 23:19 |
| janisozaur | histo, hmm, ok. i've always called it 'mbr' | 23:19 |
| iceroot | flintser: ah ok, thank you for the info | 23:19 |
| BillyZane | histo: that's always a possibility. I feel I'm going to end up using linux now permanently. So, I'm going to end up running in to a space limit | 23:19 |
| tgm4883 | datsmoida, it doesn't list a number? | 23:19 |
| datsmoida | perl <scriptname> | 23:19 |
| janisozaur | BillyZane, what filesystem do you have on / and /home? | 23:19 |
| melty | lol | 23:19 |
| datsmoida | yeah the process id | 23:19 |

| d0wan | Hi all, I got a quick question if anyone has time. I just installed Ubuntu 12.10 alongside Windows 8. The installation went smooth, but after rebooting, only shows a black screen. Doesn't show the BIOS bootscreen or anything like it did before I installed Ubuntu. I don't know how to fix this because I can't even get to BIOS.

| al__ | Tough question: running 12.10 w/ Broadcom 4312 wireless card w/ proprietary (default on install) drivers, when using auto-update, it breaks wireless after reboot. I've found a couple fixes that include 'apt-get remove bcmwl-kernel-source' 'apt-get install firmware-b43-installer b43-fwcutter'. The problem is that I have no wired internet or different pc to download with. Is there a way to pre-download packages AND all dependencies to install after for fix, or a | 23:22 |

| iceroot | datsmoida: there are 2 values for ram, the real used ram and the virtual ram which is holding buffers and caches too for each process, you can see it in top | 23:25 |
| iceroot | datsmoida: and when you write a script which needs 100mb ram, normally your script is very bad | 23:25 |
| flintser | well i dont know the de | 23:25 |
| DeadWeasel | is possible to route a single program's traffic through the VPN in ubuntu 12.04? | 23:26 |
| al__ | janisozaur: apt-get install -d will include all dependencies? | 23:26 |
| janisozaur | al__, consult 'man apt-get', it will run in download-only mode, but with all depenendecies resolved | 23:26 |
| onekt | upgraded 12.04->12.10, can't find any way into a tty console (no key combo works) | 23:27 |
| flintser | al__: well i dont know the dependencies, but if you do you can use any machine with internet to download them from repositories straight | 23:27 |
| tgm4883 | datsmoida, that is in kilobytes | 23:27 |
| brightknight | Anyperson: Hmm, what happened to twinkle??? | 23:27 |
| tgm4883 | datsmoida, so the bottom one is using 150MB | 23:27 |
| WHAT_UP | is it possible that wine is caching the windows/system32 folder? it's telling me that some file can't be found there, even though it is there (and when i replace the name of the file with something else in the folder, it runs perfectly) | 23:27 |
| al__ | janisozaur: was looking just looking through man apt-get :) -d, Download only; package files are only retrieved, not unpacked or installed. Didn't see anything about resolving dependencies. Thanks though. | 23:28 |
| tgm4883 | datsmoida, my best guess, is that you are doing something in your script that is causing it to grow in RAM size based on waiting on some resource. but that is just a guess. Notice it doesn't grow a lot between processes, then jumps quite a bit between two | 23:28 |
| tgm4883 | datsmoida, so the computer can keep up reasonably well with processes 1-4, then 5 starts and it's waiting on some resource causing it to grow in size | 23:29 |
| tgm4883 | datsmoida, so you either A) need more ram, or B) need to figure out what is happening in that script | 23:30 |
| tgm4883 | datsmoida, for reference "RSS resident set size, the non-swapped physical memory that a task has used (in kiloBytes)." | 23:30 |
| datsmoida | this is a very productive chat session ! | 23:30 |
| flintser | al__: and like janisozaur said you can prevent updates with hold | 23:30 |
| datsmoida | my sucky scripting didn't matter so much when i wasn't scaling up like this | 23:30 |

| flintser | http://askubuntu.com/questions/18654/how-to-prevent-updating-of-a-specific-package | 23:31 |
| datsmoida | however i'm thinking this gargantuan rise in processing has something to do specifically with forking processes in perl | 23:31 |
| tgm4883 | datsmoida, exactly | 23:31 |
| al__ | flintser: I don't know which package is causing it to break wireless... i think it's any time the kernel is recompiled | 23:31 |
| datsmoida | you are right it doesn't grow at first | 23:31 |
| datsmoida | but if the script is ineffecient why does it not blow up before #5 ? | 23:31 |
| tgm4883 | al__, best guess, you need to recompile the kernel modules when a kernel update comes down | 23:32 |
| datsmoida | it is also interesting that 5 was the limit on a minimal RAM (256) | 23:32 |
| tgm4883 | datsmoida, IDK. like I said, it's probably waiting on some other resource | 23:32 |

| datsmoida | tgm4883 - can you say anything else about what waiting on another resource means | 23:33 |

| ubottu | nomodeset, please see my private message | 23:33 |

| tgm4883 | al__, IDK what it's installing during that time, but I bet a reinstall of it would fix it | 23:35 |
| tgm4883 | al__, the package that is, not the OS :) | 23:36 |
| al__ | tgm4883: I bet you're right, but I have NO internet when wireless dies and no other available pcs, so I had to re-install OS out of desperation. | 23:36 |

| tgm4883 | al__, what wireless card? | 23:37 |
| flintser | al__: no its good, maybe you can check the list of what packages it tries to install and solve the problem that way? then you can hold the right one | 23:38 |
| al__ | tgm4883: Broadcom 4312 (Dell Inspiron stock card). | 23:38 |
| brightknight | Anyperson: Hmm, what happened to twinkle? | 23:39 |
| tgm4883 | al__, looks like b43-fwcutter firmware-b43-lpphy-installer bcmwl* | 23:39 |
| tgm4883 | one of those likely does the building | 23:39 |
| tgm4883 | al__, I'm guessing it's b43-fwcutter | 23:40 |
| al__ | tgm4883: yeah a lot of the fixes I find use 'apt-get install firmware-b43-installer b43-fwcutter'. If I apt-get install -d on those packages, it'll download dependencies so I can re-install offline after the update breaks it? | 23:41 |
| melanchthon | al__: I have the same card on my ideapad12 - although I'm running on debian wheezy atm I did have same kind of problems, which were solved by installing broadcom-sta-dkms package; after that I had a working wl-module | 23:41 |
| tgm4883 | al__, maybe you could just do a 'dpkg-reconfigure b43-fwcutter' | 23:41 |

| flintser | tgm4883: sorry to ask but why would the linux kernel affect wifi :s | 23:45 |
| tgm4883 | flintser, because the wifi modules are built against the kernel headers | 23:46 |
| glenfe | Anyone here familiar with CentrifyDC express? | 23:46 |
| tgm4883 | so when you change the kernel, the modules don't load | 23:46 |

| tgm4883 | flintser, yes, I think it will be, but you have to reconfigure the right package | 23:48 |
| tgm4883 | flintser, I'm guessing the fw cutter package | 23:48 |
