[00:00] which in 10.04, is what he will get [00:00] I suppose he could force it, but that probably isn't the best idea [00:00] tgm4883: No [00:00] Physicist: You could install 32bit 1004. [00:00] nautilus did not crash. it just says the files allready exist. "abort" randomly copies the files in the first file in the upper file. yes i have steps to reproduce: take a bunch of files. drrag them to another tab. drag them back to original tab. et voila [00:00] histo, no? [00:01] tgm4883: Don't force it [00:01] tgm4883: Couldn't he use ia32libs or whatever. [00:01] L3top, in an AMD64? [00:01] histo, ah, yea, I agree. Don't force it [00:01] if i want to add a command i have to make it in /usr/bin??? [00:01] histo, he's still have to force the package installation [00:01] Hi, anyone here today that know what the "new" improvements for multiseat is in 12.10? [00:01] have to install any dependence? [00:01] Physicist: absolutely. [00:01] histo, forcing the package installation wouldn't do much but override the error [00:02] Physicist, personally, I'd still upgrade [00:02] Physicist: you will need to either dual boot or overwrite your current install... or change drives or something. [00:02] Physicist: Any particular reason you are running 10.04? [00:02] * tgm4883 puts $5 on Unity === tjbiddle__ is now known as tjbiddle [00:03] histo.. backtrack! [00:03] histo, ia32-libs only gives you 32-bit libraries (in the event you want to run a 32-bit piece of software), he'd still have to force the package installation in order to install steam [00:04] histo, this isn't the case for 12.04 [00:04] !backtrack | Physicist [00:04] Physicist: 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) [00:04] i got this result from "ps aux | grep sendm": sendmail: MTA: rejecting connections on daemon MSP-v4: load average: 51 <---- and I wonder if sendmail then is currently being used? I need to figure out what service is using it [00:04] Physicist: https://help.ubuntu.com/community/32bit_and_64bit#How_to_Make_32-bit_Applications_Work_on_a_64-bit_Operating_System [00:05] tgm4883: chroot would work. [00:05] tgm4883: right cuz ia32-libs is default now. [00:05] thank you guys.. [00:06] histo, I think if the user was capable of doing a chroot, he wouldn't be in the #ubuntu IRC channel trying to get a 32-bit piece of software built for Ubuntu 12.04 to run on 64-bit Backtrack 10.04 === TheRainbowDawn is now known as Guest74772 [00:06] Physicist: What version of backtrack are you running? [00:06] histo, eh, kinda. ia32-libs doesn't exist anymore. You can now install 32-bit libraries on a 64-bit system [00:06] histo, ia32-libs was kinda a hack to get that working [00:06] backtrack 5 r3 [00:07] latest. [00:07] Physicist: and it's still based on 10.04 wow. [00:08] histo, yes! With option to upgrade to the next or newest LTS version -> 12.04. === jirido is now known as DPundihHaftandi === DPundihHaftandi is now known as DPundih_Haftandi [00:10] histo: I think that is reasonable.. [00:10] histo: maybe I will do it! [00:11] Physicist: LTS to LTS is supported. [00:11] My mail server (postfix with dovecot) won't save the directory that mail is in (MAIL=home/user/Maildir). It reverts to /var/mail/user after a period of time and after reboots… any ideas why this could be? [00:12] BossRock: which mailbox format is it configured for. [00:12] histo: yes, I know.. [00:12] Maildir === wedgwood is now known as wedgwood_away [00:14] BossRock: I'd double check your configs [00:14] histo: tried that trying to figure it out a few times now. lol [00:15] histo: will check it again though. [00:15] BossRock: make sure you restart postfix after changing settings [00:15] rebooted the actual server as well. [00:17] histo: the postfix config I know has to say "home_mailbox = Maildir/" which was done and Maildir works. [00:17] histo: when i set the destination of mail. It works absolutely fine for a while. [00:18] sudo chown -R 1000:1000 /opt/eclipse/ [00:19] why i can't change the permission of this folder [00:19] bash: /usr/local/bin/eclipse: Permission denied === dweez_ is now known as dweezil === dweezil is now known as dweez_ [00:24] alami: Is that the error you receiving? [00:24] alami: That error has a completly different path. === mpmc is now known as mpmc|Away [00:27] halp [00:27] anyone familiar with creating global hotkeys for MPlayer? [00:28] !anyone | Kobayashi [00:28] Kobayashi: 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. [00:31] how can I see priority of processes? [00:32] sjch: In the system monitor there's a tab called "Processes", and a column on that tab is "Priority" [00:34] theres gotta be people here [00:34] 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] Quick question: do any of you use wicd? if so, does it offer any noticeable advantages over the default network manager? [00:35] thank you Gerowen === MrWolfpack is now known as Wolfpack [00:36] whats the cmd to view bandwidth? [00:36] bigfat: heard some people use it for some wifi cards.. not sure why. [00:36] 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. === gwinbeee is now known as gwinbee [00:37] 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] and by open I mean unsecrued, available to everyone [00:38] actually, not pick up, I mean connect, it tries to connect but never succeeds [00:39] 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] Replace the word interface with the correct interface designation; i.e. eth0 [00:39] lol i just typed interface [00:39] and it said no such device [00:39] oh nice! thanks [00:40] gueriLLaPunK: No problem, :-) [00:40] the rate are in bits, i assume? [00:40] 256Mb [00:40] Yeah, must be [00:41] gueriLLaPunK: Yeah it scales depending on how much you're using, you'll notice the numbers up top will change depending on how much use the interface is actually getting. [00:43] . [00:43] wow, ive peaked at 519Mb [00:43] I installed an ubuntu server in the ubuntu server i am setting up a basic IRC using IRC -hybrd ..from my client using Xchat i cannot get it to connect any suggestions [00:44] Jess11: try a differnet client. like weechat or irssi. it may give a more detailed error message [00:45] how do I open a .sh file in vi and edit it? I'm trying to set the LD_LIBRARY_PATH and I can't past the directory that I want to set it at into the file when it is opened in vi [00:45] please advise [00:45] Jess11: I've never set up an IRC server, but the first thing I would check is that the service is running and the port it's listening on is actually open on your fireall. [00:45] vi /the/path/to/whatever.sh [00:46] as to using vi... well.. theres tutorials out for that. [00:46] theres the vimtutor program thats worth checking out [00:46] +1 for vimtutor [00:47] if using vi on the console. the gpm tool is worth installing. it gives you mouse support on the console [00:47] yuck no need for mouse in vi [00:48] its handy at times [00:48] what is the command used to check all servics I believe Iam typing it in wrong [00:49] Jess11: What are you typing? [00:49] $ sudo service httpd status.. [00:50] Jess11: you could do sudo status httpd [00:51] Jess11: or sudo service --status-all to see all services [00:52] thank you histo [00:52] I'm looking for some info about the libreoffice-java-common package... [00:53] Does it have something different from the .deb I can download from LibreOffice? [00:55] Anyone have any ideas why after setting up DNS server (bind9) on xubuntu the connection manager says not connected yet I still have internet? === KindOne- is now known as KindOne [00:58] I open a .sh file in vi, but I'm unable to edit it. Please advise.... [00:58] do you have permissions? [00:59] sudo vi 'your file'? [00:59] battlehands: I assume you know basic vi commands, if you don't, you have to hit "i" to start inserting text. [00:59] Anyone have any ideas why after setting up DNS server (bind9) on xubuntu the connection manager says not connected yet I still have internet? [01:02] roger_: Perhaps xubuntu is trying to use your local bind9, which might not be configured properly? === tjbiddle_ is now known as tjbiddle [01:02] I am having a crazy difficult time getting grub to come up on my uefi box, and since i'm at work, i'm getting a little desperate [01:02] the machine just keeps booting to windows no matter what i try [01:03] all the instructions say i'm supposed to be able to select from the bios which operating system comes up, but i don't see that anywhere [01:03] @ histo how do I see which port is available on my server? or anyone [01:03] fox_wilson: yeah totally plausible. its more a curiosity atm [01:03] Jess11: as in which ones are open? you could use nmap [01:03] yes fox [01:04] Jess11: You can run "nmap yourmachineip" and it will list open ports [01:05] Hey all. :) [01:06] I got a weird GRUB error when loading the BIOS in VirtualBox (running version 12.10 32-bit). It happened just after I updated it. Is that normal? [01:06] @ fox for some reason that is not working [01:07] I'll take a screenshot. :) [01:08] Hi. Anyone here who use custom xkb symbols? [01:13] Jess11: apt-get install nmap [01:13] Jess11: sudo netstat -lpnut [01:14] Jess11: nmap will give you the info from a network perspective. netstat will give it to you from a software perspective... [01:15] Can somebody help me? I have tried a USB Disk with Unetbootin, and I am trying Dual boot windows, but dualboot gives me an mbildr.mbr error of it being missing or corrupted. I checked, and it is in C: and in winboot. How do I get it to work? [01:15] wellwhy: Windows is failing to boot? [01:16] No, windows is fine, when I select Ubuntu as the boot option is gives a C:/Ubuntu/winboot/mbildr.mbr [01:16] error [01:16] It says it is missing or corrupt [01:17] wellwhy: Did you use Wubi? [01:17] I think..? [01:17] I used the easy windows installer [01:17] it has wubi folder and internals [01:18] it says wubi in a few places [01:18] so yes [01:21] Yeah it is wubi [01:21] 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] Any help works [01:21] 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? [01:22] 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 [01:24] 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] Yeah, I have and no luck sadly [01:25] i have tried booting ubuntu for at least a month === dark3n|off is now known as dark3n [01:26] The login screen on my ubuntu install always displays an onscreen keyboard. Is there any way I can disable that? [01:27] wellwhy: Does it work when you boot from the LiveCD? If you burn the ISO to a DVD or put it on a thumb drive, then boot from that, it doesn't automatically start installing, you can do a "try before you buy" kind of thing where it will run in RAM without touching your hard drive until you hit the "install" button on the desktop. [01:27] I have tried that, and my monitor goes to sleep and nothing happens after I have tried both options using a USB. On my laptop I got the purple ubuntu and the orange dots but then a black screen. [01:28] wow ubuntu runs great on the intel NUC [01:28] jasunto: Of course it does. It's Intel. === grep is now known as Guest88686 [01:28] im amazed, replaced mac mini server with it, may replace my desktop with it [01:29] with what? [01:29] DaemonicApathy are you running one? [01:29] No, but I plan to in the future. [01:29] tonsofpcs: Intel NUC [01:29] ah [01:30] jasunto: looking to sell the mac mini? [01:30] i had some questions, was looking for someone else using one [01:30] lol [01:30] mac mini server is sold [01:30] What kind of questions? [01:31] my one problem with the mini is Intel graphics... [01:31] DaemonicApathy i wasnt sure about USB storage in the fstab, i want usb external to be the main storage outside of the system SSD, dropbox complains that its folder is gone, im thinking fstab may mount it earlier and eliminate [01:32] DaemonicApathy oh and you cant beat the intel sound when you open the box [01:32] Gerowen: I have tried that, and my monitor goes to sleep and nothing happens after I have tried both options using a USB. On my laptop I got the purple ubuntu and the orange dots but then a black screen. [01:32] tonsofpcs my mini had nvidia, had to jump through some hoops but ran well on there, had some bad disks, replaced botha nd sold [01:32] Many people here should be able to help you with fstab. Personally, I would make sure /home is on the external as well [01:33] DaemonicApathy i dont really use home, this is my home server so it is a dropbox/usenet/torrent/l2tp/smb/ftp/ssh/ server and mroe [01:34] * tonsofpcs might be buying a NUC.... need to figure out storage [01:34] Where do you put your files, jasunto? [01:35] on the external [01:35] Then having a /home partition on it, to make it the default destination...might help? :-) [01:35] can anyone help me fix this problem with my kernel? http://pastebin.com/FMAL2abU [01:36] i know /home on the external would be cool, but worried about boot and availability, easier to route downloads and such to external which happens ot be /media/jasunto/Data right now [01:36] sin_tax, did you actually read the error? It seems like you didn't. Go read it. [01:36] bin_bash, yes, I did [01:36] *shrug* Whatever works for you, jasunto. Sounds like I gave you too little credit anyway. [01:37] sin_tax, did you run apt-get autoremove? [01:37] yes, I get the same error 'You might want to run 'apt-get -f install' to correct these.' deal bin_bash [01:37] sin_tax, did you do that? [01:38] DaemonicApathy yeah it runs headless, would like the usb to act more like internal storage and i think fstab could do that for me. [01:38] yeah, I think that is in the paste, it gives an error of a different type bin_bash =/ [01:38] Sounds good to me. So anyone who's good with fstab should be able to help you, whatever device they may have. [01:39] sin_tax, sudo apt get update && sudo apt-get upgrade [01:40] bin_bash, that is giving me the unmet dependencies error again, I seem to be in a catch 22 [01:40] After configuring NFS4 with krb5p, I can't cd into my exported folder as a normal user, solely as root.

But it's allowing connections from the outside. I don't tend to use any firewall. What might be going on? [02:02] jrib, it's the actual kernel. [02:03] bin_bash: http://packages.ubuntu.com/precise-updates/linux-server [02:03] jrib, because it's a headless server, removing that package could actually damage the system. Besides. He doesn't WANT to downgrade [02:04] bin_bash: as I said, it's a metapackage. I'm not advising him to downgrade... [02:04] jrib, if you read the problem, aptitude is trying to downgrade from .45 to .44 [02:04] bin_bash: no, that's not the problem [02:05] 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] Anyway, jrib, it doesn't matter [02:05] he's not here anymore. [02:05] there are always others listening ... [02:06] did you update first, bin_bash ? [02:06] ubuntu system always look for stable package or better release ? [02:06] tonsofpcs, oh my god.

[02:10] can anyone the best way to expand ubuntu-root in lvm once i have done the lvmreduce on swap, easiest way to expand root to fill up free space [02:13] drag0nius: on a new install I tend to forget creating a db with my profile name. [ createdb $USER ] [02:13] my python app is using it locally without problems === DPundih_haftandi is now known as DiiPundiih_Haaft [02:13] for like half year, but now i want to access it from other comp and can't [02:15] ciao === DiiPundiih_Haaft is now known as DPundih_Haftandi [02:15] dvd [02:16] drag0nius, did you check your router settings to make sure the local IP is static? [02:16] this server is my router :) [02:17] I'm having problems connecting to IPs that are on the same machine which the connection is being initiated from. Not using localhost, using one of the IPs or host names that resolve to those IPs. iptables is completely empty. Thoughts? [02:17] drag0nius, why the hell would you use ubuntu on a router. === kdog is now known as kdog_away [02:19] i'm running couple services on it too [02:20] drag0nius, on a router? [02:20] nope its normal comp [02:20] ... [02:20] I just said [02:20] Check your router settings [02:22] drag0nius, are you paying attention, or are you just spouting words that you don't understand? [02:22] i don't have a router [02:22] it's directly connected to server [02:22] drag0nius: In pg_hba.conf : what connection method and authentication type fro the "new" computer [02:22] and i don't block connections [02:22] it's... what? [02:23] everything is connected to server through network switch [02:23] Anybody know why I'm getting this error in VirtualBox?: http://pastie.org/private/mvuvptjml2o62vab9prtjg [02:23] I'm trying to run Steam. Does Steam not work in it yet or something? [02:23] drag0nius, oh. you didn't say that. you said the computer was the router [02:23] host all all 192.168.1.10/32 md5 [02:24] [02:24] bin_bash, jrib hey, so should I remove linux_server or no? 0_0 [02:24] drag0nius, is that correct though? did you check to make sure that it's 192.168.1.10 [02:24] sin_tax, i guess [02:25] yep my comp is on static ip [02:25] 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] 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] Do you have MTP transfer protocol working? Which doc did u read? [02:26] ok, successfully removed, jrib, should I reinstall it now or do an apt-get upgrade first? [02:26] sin_tax: now do "sudo apt-get install linux-server" [02:26] ^ [02:26] 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] -s [02:26] OK, that seemed to work jrib [02:27] sin_tax, now do apt-get update && apt-get upgrade [02:27] 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] Bsadowski1: or possibly OpenGL in a VM (or your VM on your host machine with it's settings) is not working properly? [02:27] bin_bash, just did and everything seems nice - Thanks very much jrib and bin_bash [02:27] jrib, my /boot got full (I think maybe in the middle of an upgrade?) [02:28] for some reason I had a bunch of old kernels hanging out there [02:28] yikes [02:29] drag0nius: sorry I got distracted rl. It was local that _has_ been working? [02:29] yep [02:29] i don't think postgres reads those config files [02:29] anyways, you guys are my heroes, thanks so much again bin_bash / jrib ... I am off to do some work... take care [02:30] heh [02:30] how can i check if there is an upgrade for a package? [02:30] sin_tax: no problem === daniel is now known as Guest46101 [02:31] apt-get --just-print upgrade [02:32] after the most recent kernel update, my wireless isn't working. It tries to connect, but fails every time, could someone help me diagnose/fix the problem? [02:32] drag0nius: always has done so for me. A different trap is a firewall blockinq $PGPORT from those pesky foreign computers. [02:32] <_helios_> I was looking over a few text based browser's anyone have any suggestions on the best one to get? === atrius is now known as atrius_away [02:33] gaelfx, did you reboot? [02:33] bin_bash: yes [02:33] gaelfx, did you ry downgrading the kernel? [02:33] bin_bash: I even tried rebooting into the older kernel, but it still doesn't work [02:33] hm [02:34] gaelfx, when you say "booting into the older kernel" what do you mean [02:35] bin_bash: booted up into grub, selected the previous kernel image to boot from rather than the newly installed one (.36 rather than .37, in precise btw) [02:35] _helios_: lynx links w3m are 3.. may be more in the repos [02:35] !info lynx | _helios_ [02:35] _helios_: lynx (source: lynx-cur): Text-mode WWW Browser (transitional package). In component main, is extra. Version 2.8.8dev.12-2ubuntu0.1 (quantal), package size 3 kB, installed size 41 kB [02:35] <_helios_> dr_willis: there was one called elinks was gonna give it a shot [02:36] gaelfx, no offense, but are you /sure/ the older kernel was what you booted into? usually when you upgrade the kernel it's overwritten [02:36] Hi guys! Any of you want to help out regarding c++? [02:36] old ones get forked and renamed a lot ;-) [02:36] Ubuntu 12.04.1 doesnt come with open-iscsi package. I want to add it during the installation time [02:36] How to do that [02:36] ubuntu keeps all old kernel's [02:36] bin_bash: hang on [02:36] decci: use a preseed file [02:36] dr_willis, my box doesn't. [02:37] decci: or you can roll your own custom installer [02:37] SolarisBoy: Whats that [02:37] bin_bash: yes, uname returns the .36 kernel [02:37] you are in a frankenbox tgen === fox_wilson is now known as fwilson [02:37] SolarisBoy: How to do it [02:37] decci: a way to automate installations and at the least add a package [02:37] frankenbox sounds awesome [02:37] gaelfx, which wireless card is it? [02:37] SolarisBoy: Is there any way I can addd this driver during install time? [02:37] Chegy, there is a #c++ channel which would be more appropriate for general c++ questions [02:37] ive seen 12+ old kernels befor [02:38] decci: https://help.ubuntu.com/12.04/installation-guide/i386/preseed-using.html [02:38] decci: read up on that page [02:38] SolarisBoy: ok [02:38] hi, i'm trying to upgrade postgres to 9.2.3 but it doesn't show up in apt-get --just-print upgrade [02:39] savagecroc: Looks complicated [02:39] bin_bash: Network controller: Broadcom Corporation BCM4313 802.11b/g/n Wireless LAN Controller (rev 01) [02:39] 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] gaelfx, does it have a hardware switch [02:40] decci: shouldn't be it's just a bunch of bugs and security fixes [02:40] SolarisBoy: http://www.ubuntugeek.com/creating-custom-ubuntu-live-cd-with-remastersys.html [02:40] 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] decci: sure ... [02:40] gaelfx, what kind of encryption is the network [02:40] 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 [02:41] ahhhh [02:41] atleast for 12.04.1 [02:41] righhhht [02:41] SolarisBoy: Can I add driver through remastersys [02:41] ok.. yeah i must have added some other source to get 9.2 [02:41] decci: i have never used that [02:41] SolarisBoy: Can you suggest me an easy way to add driver during install time [02:41] decci: i did =) [02:42] SolarisBoy: Using preseeding seems like little complicated [02:42] bin_bash: wep [02:42] decci: heh it is what it is [02:42] SolarisBoy: Cant I add drivers as I do with RHEL [02:42] gaelfx, what network manager are you using? [02:42] decci: rhel uses kickstart and thats equivalent to what you consider "difficult" [02:42] bin_bash: ifconfig seems to be reporting nearly half of Tx packets have errors [02:42] so same difference.. [02:43] bin_bash: just the standard that came with precise, nothing fancy === Honoo is now known as FlameReaper [02:43] gaelfx, that is very interesting. Sometimes wep has problems. is ther any way you can change it to wpa2 or wpa and try again? [02:44] bin_bash: no, it's one of those AT&T modem/router dealidos [02:44] Ok thanks again password reset was successfull === histo1 is now known as histo [02:44] gaelfx, so? you can connect to it via ehternet and change the settings [02:44] just another quick question, whats this system reserved drive showing up every time? had never seen it before :o [02:45] g++ / linker question, is there a way to know _exactly_ what files ld links against when executing ? [02:45] 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] a -v or something [02:45] gaelfx, wep also stands for "weak encryption protocol" [02:46] SolarisBoy: I am unable to install Ubuntu 12.04.1 on COmpellent SAN directly due to missing open-iscsi package [02:46] 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] ePirat: see what files are on it.. could be some windows recovery partition [02:46] SolarisBoy:I want to inject this driver during install time [02:46] decci: ok thanks for explaining - i get you now [02:47] 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] escott_: thanks for that [02:47] gaelfx, I seriously think the problem is WEP. Because I've had this exact same problem. And using WPA/2 works. [02:47] SolarisBoy: So what you suggest [02:48] 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 [02:49] 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] SolarisBoy: Do you mean during Ubuntu installation time? [02:49] gaelfx, k. good luck figuring that ne out. [02:49] SolarisBoy: Before the disk creation???? [02:49] i guess you are right on that side because RHEL based systems do ask if you want to add additional drivers [02:49] decci: yes .... [02:49] gaelfx, go ahead and forget about my easy fix. And have fun debugging kernel modules [02:50] SolarisBoy: When does the screen comes - before disk creation [02:50] decci: look into manually installing the driver - and switching TTY's. [02:50] <_helios_> I was going to download the Ubuntu 13.04 beta and give it a try in Virtual Box is that possible? [02:50] _helios_: yes [02:50] yes [02:50] why wouldn't it be? [02:51] <_helios_> bin_bash: Is there a link for 13.04 or do I have to torrent it? [02:51] the 3d desktop effects and stuff may be very slow however. [02:51] _helios_, did you try google? [02:51] _helios_: #ubuntu+1 for 13.04 info [02:51] dr_willis, you are right, it is… can I somehow ignore it? [02:52] <_helios_> Thanks dr_willis, bin_bash [02:52] Silly question.. on standard ubuntu 12.10 installation w/ firefox, in firefox how can you specify/change the 9 tiles in about:startpage? I can't find in about:config. [02:52] ePirat: make a fstab entry for it with 'noauto' and it might not show it by default in the fimle manager. [02:53] al__: i was thinking you drag/drop items from the otehr pages... i did it once. ages ago [02:54] dr_willis: no luck att. such a silly problem to have. [02:54] ive noticed that ff on ubuntu with that ubuntu ff extension acts/looks a little differntly then a vanilla firefox setup also. [02:54] al__: i may have that ubuntu ff plugin disabled.. im not on a pc to test right now. but i do recall it being odd how the differances were [02:55] al__: i may also be thinking of how chrome did it. I seem to recall dragging an icon from one page, somehwer and it went to the main page. [02:56] whem i web browse these days im on my phone 90% of the time. :) [02:58] dr_willis: yeah I think it's the ubuntu mod, which makes it more difficult to find an answer too :/ [02:59] so, how to dual screen wallpapers in 12.04? nitrogen wants to work, but doesn't.... [02:59] i'm not sure more whiskey is the answer... [02:59] buuuuuut, it's worth a shot. [02:59] al__: might be worth filing a bug report on that extension. but its gotten where i disable it by default sadly. [02:59] ohh jamputtt [03:00] hi [03:00] i just make a wide wallpaper pasted in gimp from 2 wallpapers ;) [03:00] o fudge [03:01] how to span it? dr_willis [03:01] the ubuntu servers are on freenode [03:01] right now they are mirrored [03:01] DeadWeasel: thats a feature of your video drivers/conmfigs. === TheUzer is now known as TheUser [03:01] ati 6770 proprietaries [03:01] DeadWeasel: i just enable twinview for my nvidia cards in the ncidia control center [03:02] I don't think my video card even allows that ;.; [04:27] so does the admin group have sudo privileges? [04:27] the_jeebster: usermod -d you can chnge their home [04:27] the_jeebster: no the sudo group does if you are using ubunto. But it all depends on what your sudoers is set to.

[04:41] `ingsoc, install gentoo then [04:41] The thing is that I downloaded the iso from Ubuntu. Not from a 3rd party. [04:41] <`ingsoc> Wtf would DNS server just be changed? [04:41] whoa now [04:41] `ingsoc: entries are added to resolv.conf by resolvconf package [04:41] stupid enough to install ubuntu [04:41] tsk tsk [04:41] swill215, idk. seems like it doesn't work. try a different distro if those work. [04:41] <`ingsoc> What the hell is changing resolv.conf after I set dns-servers in /etc/interfaces/network. [04:42] `ingsoc, CANONICAL. [04:42] THEY'RE HECKERING U [04:42] <`ingsoc> Seriously, Ubuntu used to be a great distro. It's a joke now.

[04:44] <`ingsoc> I'm trying to figure out why Google's DNS servers are overwriting my own in /etc/resolv.conf. [04:44] `ingsoc: being frustrated for a lack of understanding and taking it out on people voluntarily trying to help isn't going to get your far. [04:44] `ingsoc, we just fucking told you [04:44] bin_bash: I did not. I'm unsure on how to check it on a mac. [04:45] but apparently mommy didn't use the coat hanger properly [04:45] and you can't read [04:45] bin_bash: No swearing. [04:45] `ingsoc: because when you use dhcp it pulls dns servers from your router and puts them in resolv.conf using the resolvconf package.

[04:48] `ingsoc: /etc/resolvconf/resolv.conf.d/head [04:49] <`ingsoc> histo: It says I shouldn't edit it? [04:49] `ingsoc: Yeah that's where that commment in /etc/resolv.conf comes from. [04:50] histo: I tried to check for the md5sum. According to it, the file cannot be verified. === ke5pcv is now known as ke5pcv-away [04:50] histo, actually he should edit base no? [04:50] <`ingsoc> histo: And there's no way I can stop the Ubuntu botnet getting DNS servers from my router? [04:50] `ingsoc, ubuntu botnet? [04:50] I feel I missed something [04:50] `ingsoc: Please stop it's not a botnet it's the resolvconf package doing it. [04:50] histo, maybe he's making a botnet? [04:51] <`ingsoc> I have a dns-servers line in /etc/network/interfaces, but Ubuntu ignores it. [04:51] tgm4883: No he's just very saulty [04:51] <`ingsoc> Lol. [04:51] `ingsoc: becuase they don't belong there. [04:51] `ingsoc, as it should [04:51] <`ingsoc> So do I edit base or head? [04:52] how to do watermarking with shutter screenshot tool? [04:52] `ingsoc: the head [04:52] `ingsoc, can you pastebin your /etc/network/interfaces file? [04:52] <`ingsoc> Sure. I will. [04:52] histo, putting DNS servers in /etc/networking/interfaces is perfectly valid if we're talking about a server [04:52] `ingsoc: just put your dns servers in the head file and restart networking or resolvconf all will be happy. Then go find something else to complain and freak out about that your don't understand. [04:53] <`ingsoc> It works perfectly fine on Debian. [04:53] histo, are we talking about a server or desktop? [04:53] `ingsoc, still waiting on that file [04:53] tgm4883: Yeah if he wasn't using network manager which overwrites it. [04:53] :> I have a knack for breaking the GUI [04:53] <`ingsoc> Sec, I need to blank out the IPs. [04:53] * histo slaps forehead [04:53] histo, if he's using network manager, why isn't he putting his DNS servers in there? [04:54] <`ingsoc> I'm using a static ip. [04:54] tgm4883: idk. [04:54] `ingsoc, so what? [04:54] `ingsoc, you can put a static IP in network manager [04:54] any onehere? [04:54] tgm4883: because he doens't understand how these programs manage is network connection. [04:54] kumarat9pm: no [04:54] :) [04:54] `ingsoc, heck, you can use a dynamic IP address in network manager and still have it use specific dns servers [04:54] is it for shutter or you? [04:54] histo: I tried to verify the file. According to it, the file cannot be verified. [04:54] Was installing Audacity, when Software Center and the rest of Ubuntu locked up. Now I'm rebooted and I'm running everything through Terminal since I have no GUI :( [04:55] swill215: That's not good. So your iso is corrupt [04:55] anyone have problems where when trying to install ubuntu alongside winodws 8, the ubuntu install doesnt see the windows 8 partitions [04:55] Rabblerouser: sudo dpkg-reconfigure -a [04:55] <`ingsoc> http://pastebin.com/E8J5C7xD [04:55] corrupt iso's are easily fixable via torrents or zsync [04:55] <`ingsoc> I removed the IP addresses. [04:56] histo: That is the official download from Ubuntu. I had another disc with 12.04.1 LTS 64bit & that refused to even boot. [04:56] `ingsoc, ok, and why don't you want to use network manager again? [04:56] swill215: Well aparently it's not the official download if the md5sum don't match [04:56] <`ingsoc> I'm ocd so I don't want to. [04:56] swill215, could have been corrupted during download [04:56] swill215: aparently a few bytes or bits are messed up. [04:56] <`ingsoc> It's hard to explain. [04:56] <`ingsoc> I want to do it this way. [04:56] `ingsoc, I've gathered it's very hard to explain things to you [04:57] `ingsoc, so apt-get remove network-manager? [04:57] <`ingsoc> Why are you being mean to me? [04:57] `ingsoc: Are these internal ips that you blacked out? [04:57] `ingsoc, i've read the backlog, you started it [04:57] <`ingsoc> Yes. [04:57] <`ingsoc> They're internal. [04:57] <`ingsoc> Except for the dns-servers line. [04:57] `ingsoc, you're being overly paranoid about your internal IP addresses [04:58] <`ingsoc> I have network-manager disable as a service. [04:58] * shuduo is away: auto-away [04:58] <`ingsoc> Well, hackers. [04:58] `ingsoc, considering you aren't blocking people from seeing your external/public IP address [04:58] <`ingsoc> I'm scared, okay? [04:58] `ingsoc, no [04:58] <`ingsoc> I'm behind a proxy. [04:58] `ingsoc: You do realize that you are connected to an irc network that reveals your ip address right? [04:58] <`ingsoc> Yes. [04:59] `ingsoc: and that your internal ips are not accessible from the outside world. [04:59] <`ingsoc> Yes, I know. [04:59] <`ingsoc> But ocd doesn't work that way. [04:59] wow [04:59] `ingsoc, it's pretty obvious you don't understand how networking works (don't worry, most people don't), but if network manager is overwriting your DNS entries why not remove it [05:00] `ingsoc, you keep using that (ocd). I do not think it means what you think it means === Guest45550 is now known as Senjai [05:00] <`ingsoc> tgm4883: So let me get this straight. Ubuntu knowingly includes bloat to complicate network configuration through network-manager? [05:01] `ingsoc: No to simplify network configuration. === dark3n is now known as dark3n|off [05:01] <`ingsoc> I'm worried that it'll kill my connection if I remove network-manager. [05:01] `ingsoc: And you don't have to install it. either. [05:01] <`ingsoc> I made the mistake of installing Ubuntu. [05:01] `ingsoc, so let me get this straight. You have asked for help, refuse help, refuse to remove the parts that are preventing you from configuring things the convoluted way you want to, and somehow that is Ubuntu's fault [05:01] <`ingsoc> And now I don't have the time to reinstall. [05:02] `ingsoc, why would it kill your network connection? [05:02] that doesn't even make sense [05:02] <`ingsoc> Okay, I'll test it. [05:02] <`ingsoc> If I'm not back in 10 minutes, Ubuntu ruined my day again. [05:02] `ingsoc: You're free to return to windows. [05:02] `ingsoc, if you aren't back in 10 minutes, then it's because I finally convinced a mod to ban you [05:02] `ingsoc: No one is forcing you here. [05:02] <`ingsoc> histo: Try LMDE. XD [05:03] <`ingsoc> That's absurd! [05:03] lol [05:03] <`ingsoc> Ubuntu is forcing me here because it stole my time and now I can't reinstall. [05:03] if you have to re-install... try ubuntu minimal install... comes with nothing that is needed. [05:03] <`ingsoc> I'm stuck with it until it breaks. [05:03] Phillip, we are trying to help you [05:03] <`ingsoc> One sec. I'll brb. [05:03] `ingsoc: becuase you have some jacked up way that you want to configure networking that isn't going to work and refuse to take any advise on how to fix it. Good luck to you in your ventures. I'm done. [05:04] Insane [05:04] histo, it's people like that why I'm not mod of this channel [05:04] histo, if he comes back, ping me. I'm leaving to get some cake [05:04] * histo deep breaths [05:04] I have an external hard drive and would like to format it to ext3; does anybody know how can I do that? I am using GParted but I do not know what should be the partition table type. [05:05] I'm still waiting for my laptop to run out of battery this is rediculous. New ssd is sick and laptop-mode-tools etc... [05:05] dell1, MBR? [05:05] * shuduo is back (gone 00:07:21) [05:05] dell1: You can make any partition table you want. Do you want one big partition? [05:05] I'm having problems connecting to IPs that are on the same machine which the connection is being initiated from. I'm not using localhost; I'm using one of the IPs or host names that resolve to those IPs. iptables is completely empty. Thoughts? [05:05] tgm4883: I am not sure, but it says the default is MS-DOS partition table [05:06] dell1, that should be fine I think [05:06] histo: Yes I do [05:06] I think the other option is GPT [05:06] dell1: use it [05:06] Jouva: Do you mind clarifying a little. [05:06] dell1: use gpt and create a big partition. [05:07] histo: I want to format my NTFS external hard disk to ext3 (1TB) [05:07] dell1: wlel then just mkfs.ext3 /dev/of/exteral/drive [05:07] dell1, why not ext4? [05:07] dell1: no need to repartition. [05:07] dell1: Use MS-DOS partition format and use an ext3 or ext4 partition [05:07] yea, no need to repartition, just format [05:07] 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 [05:08] I'd recommend ext4 if you don't have a specific reason for ext3 [05:08] MS-DOS or GPT? [05:08] really out now, cake time [05:08] MS-DOS [05:08] dell1: gpt for large disks [05:08] Elv1313: please stop [05:08] I found that ext3 is more compatible between distros [05:08] tgm4883: bring enough for the rest of the class =P [05:08] histo: GPT partition sheme have issues on older systems [05:09] Elv1313: msdos partition scheme can't address larger disks [05:09] Well I got my unity back, but sudo dpkg-reconfigure -a is taking FOREVER with no 'updates' on its progress [05:09] Elv1313: that's why we have gpt [05:09] 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] histo: it can be extended to support 4tb just fine and it have better compatibility [05:09] Scratch that. Just got a return: "/usr/sbin/kpkg-reconfigure: man-db is broken or not fully installed" [05:10] Align to: Mib/Sylinder/None [05:10] ? [05:10] Jouva: ~jouva@pool-98-111-142-253.phlapa.fios.verizon.net is your ip [05:10] this is not the machine in question I am on [05:10] it's my server [05:10] dell1: How large is this disk? [05:10] histo: Publicly routable, in a data center [05:11] What should I choose in Align to: Mib/Sylinder/None? (I want to have one partition, 1TB) [05:11] I mean whole disk as one partition [05:11] 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] 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] 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] dell1: Are you using gparted? [05:11] histo: if he use ext3, he probably will [05:11] I have Dell Studio 1555, two years old [05:11] ... [05:12] histo: Yes [05:12] I choose ext4 [05:12] Jouva: how do you ahve 10 ips assigned to one machine? [05:12] histo: I first used GPT around 2008, and it had bugs because it was rare back then [05:12] Is it the same in 2013? [05:12] dell1: it's pretty easy to just delete a parititon and create a new one. Where are you getting asked all these questions? [05:13] Can’t Login to Desktop unless using Guest Session [05:13] histo: Fine it's 6 with 4 usable. Just roll with it. [05:13] The number of IPs isn't the point [05:13] It's more than one IP [05:13] vnc786, to get at websites that require IE, use wine and install an old IE version ... [05:13] 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] What should I choose in Align to: Mib/Sylinder/None? [05:13] 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 ? [05:14] Jouva: but if you don't want to go into it I dont' have the time. [05:14] Can't Log Into Ubuntu 12.04 [05:14] <`ingsoc> Nope. [05:14] WTH is with people tonight. [05:14] <`ingsoc> It didn't work. [05:14] How can I solve this problem [05:14] ?? [05:14] <`ingsoc> Your advice FAILED. [05:14] histo: It's a single physical machine. Not running any virtual server stuff [05:14] 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] No one? [05:14] <`ingsoc> You've been warned! [05:15] Jouva: With how many nics? and are they on the same class as the rest of the network? [05:15] `ingsoc: seriuosly? [05:15] <`ingsoc> Yes. [05:15] 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] histo: Sorry, I thought you meant how like you were confused how it was possible, not how I had it configured. [05:15] `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] `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] ingsoc stop trolling. ubuntu is not a botnet ... and feel free to use debian [05:15] `ingsoc: BECAUSE DEBIAN DOESN"T HAVE THE RESOLVCONF PACKAGE OR NETWORK MANAGER [05:16] <`ingsoc> Okay, just settle down. [05:16] 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] Elv1313: It asks for align to: MiB/Cylinder/None [05:16] What should I choose? [05:16] <`ingsoc> How do I stop resolvconf or network-manager from pulling DNS servers out its ass? [05:16] take the default, but you should align to sector one [05:16] vnc786, note: an old IE version is included with wine [05:16] !language | `ingsoc [05:16] `ingsoc: Please watch your language and topic to help keep this channel family-friendly, polite, and professional. [05:16] (0 being the mbr) [05:16] histo: But yes, same subnet. 255.255.255.248 [05:17] `ingsoc: they are being pulled from your router. [05:17] Jouva: not the same subnet sorry the same class c [05:17] <`ingsoc> histo: How do I stop it? [05:17] `ingsoc: Ubuntu just doesnt make up DNS servers dude [05:17] anyone has idea about my problem regarding to cannot login to 12.04 [05:17] `ingsoc: Remove them [05:17] `ingsoc: or work with them you choose [05:17] histo: Oh. Still yes. [05:17] <`ingsoc> histo: I need them (nmcli). [05:17] every day I face new problem [05:17] An error occurred while applying the operations [05:17] `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] IMPORTANT [05:17] If you want support, you need to provide the saved details! [05:17] See http://gparted.org/save-details.htm for more information. [05:17] "/usr/sbin/dpkg-reconfigure: man-db is broken or not fully installed". How do I fix this? [05:17] !details|ahmedipa restate the details ... [05:17] 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 ..." [05:18] <`ingsoc> histo: I want to work with them. Please. [05:18] Jouva: ex: 192.168.1.xxx and rest of network is 192.168.1.xxx also [05:18] 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] 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] dell1: It's easier, and its probably quicker too. [05:18] histo: Yep. All the same subnet for the public IPs [05:18] `ingsoc: Then put your dns servers you want in head file. Ex: nameserver 8.8.8.8 in that file [05:18] I am using GParted [05:18] 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] Flannel: I am using GParted [05:19] But I got error [05:19] 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] Oh for god's sake, this is unbearable [05:19] Wow new record, broke Ubuntu after only 3 hours ._. [05:19] Won't boot anymore [05:19] cfhowlett: Can’t Login to Desktop unless using Guest Session [05:19] histo: It's been fine for several months until now. [05:19] Should I unmount the hard drive before formating? [05:19] 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] dell1: This is an external drive? Did Ubuntu mount it automatically? (You can't format a mounted partition) [05:19] ubottu: Can’t Login to Desktop unless using Guest Session [05:19] ahmedipa: I am only a bot, please don't think I'm intelligent :) [05:19] `ingsoc: is your custom one at the top? [05:19] dell1: Yes. [05:19] Flannel: Thanks [05:20] I will do it again [05:20] `ingsoc: the top of resolv.conf that is. [05:20] <`ingsoc> histo: Yes. [05:20] ubottu: this is first time I face this problem [05:20] 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] ahmedipa, on 12.04 [05:20] ? [05:20] `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] cfhowlett: yes 12.04 [05:21] `ingsoc: Then specify your custom ones in network manager. [05:21] 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] +1 Rabblerouser [05:21] `ingsoc: click on the network icon and edit connections [05:21] cfhowlett: second problem is low disk space [05:22] `ingsoc: or go into settings and then network and change the settings for that connection. [05:22] ahmedipa, one problem at a time ...thought you couldn't login? [05:22] 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] doesn't need to go through the same routers [05:22] histo is working his tail off though, trying to help all at the same time, give im some credit for multi-tasking [05:22] ubottu: second problem is low disk space [05:22] `ingsoc: OR change your stupid router settings to not hand out googles dns records [05:22] 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. [05:23] cfhowlett: right let's solve the first problem [05:23] ahmedipa, fresh install? [05:23] Rabblerouser: what package is broken? [05:23] Wait, histo is the ONLY one giving help? D: I had no idea. [05:23] cfhowlett: as you said at this time I can't [05:23] cfhowlett: what do you mean by that [05:24] 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] Rabblerouser: you coudl reinstall man-db [05:24] ahmedipa, how did you install ubuntu 12.04? upgrade from a previous installation or a clean installation [05:24] cfhowlett: this happend after I tried to clean and trying to free up space [05:24] Rabblerouser: and what have you already tried to do in order to correct the problem? [05:25] <`ingsoc> Why is Ubuntu locking me out of 10.1.1.1? [05:25] histo: I can't even ping localhost it seems [05:25] cfhowlett: I don't have problem with installation only I install by usb live [05:25] Or explicitly 127.0.0.1 [05:25] cfhowlett: this is fifth month I use ubuntu [05:25] `ingsoc: can you ping it? [05:26] Synaptic, upgrades, and fixing broken packages within Synaptic. Which it apparently didn't see this broken package [05:26] Jouva: trace it? [05:26] ahmedipa, OK [05:26] <`ingsoc> rob_p: Yes. [05:26] cfhowlett: I only faced these two problem [05:26] 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] histo: Yeah it's giving me timeout *s [05:26] <`ingsoc> rob_p: It's a shitty DSL-502T (D-Link). [05:26] cfhowlett: I would like to thank you for your attention [05:26] 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] ahmedipa, do you see the login screen at all? [05:27] !language | `ingsoc [05:27] `ingsoc: Please watch your language and topic to help keep this channel family-friendly, polite, and professional. [05:27] !ohmy | `ingsoc [05:27] `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] cfhowlett: yes I see login screen [05:27] histo: I get nowhere. At all. [05:27] traceroute to 127.0.0.1 (127.0.0.1), 30 hops max, 60 byte packets [05:27] 1 * * * [05:27] `ingsoc: What is *it*? I'm guessing it has Telnet services running, etc? [05:27] I don't know HOW it's doing that or WHY but it is [05:27] 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] 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] Yet it's allowing connections from outside and letting connections out [05:28] 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] cfhowlett: but when I try to login it will be like loop as you said [05:28] <`ingsoc> rob_p: ADSL router. [05:28] Wonder if it's the route [05:28] Jouva: tracepath [05:28] no any error messages [05:28] 1: no reply [05:28] Rabblerouser: sudo apt-get autoclean || sudo apt-get remove --purge man-db || sudo apt-get install man-db [05:28] Jouva: not good [05:28] Yeahhhh [05:28] Jouva: routes are jacked up [05:28] That's what I'm thinking now [05:29] Will do, thanks. [05:29] cfhowlett: just ask me again and again to login even if I login [05:29] Jouva: have you tried restarting networking? [05:29] 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] `ingsoc: So you can ping it, but you can't access it's services? [05:29] ehhhhhhhhhhhhhhh donnnnnnnnnt think I want to be doing that on my own ;) [05:29] Not over ssh [05:29] ahmedipa: guest user works fine? [05:29] I think at this point I'll let SingleHop look into it [05:29] dr_willis, as you're more familiar, can you guide us to the fix? [05:30] dr_willis: yes but as you know not full permission [05:30] <`ingsoc> rob_p: That's correct. [05:30] dr_willis: as normal user [05:30] `ingsoc: Perhaps it needs a reboot? Many of those consumer-grade routers have buggy firmware and need frequent reboots... [05:30] ahmedipa: can you login at the console as your user? [05:31] Got a bad feeling after seeing "Removing ubuntu-desktop" after doing that [05:31] dr_willis: how can I do that [05:31] <`ingsoc> rob_p: Hmm. I'll try that now. [05:31] `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] 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. [05:33] dr_willis: yes I see [05:33] 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? [05:34] dr_willis: when I want to try to login by this method he told me incorrect password [05:34] dr_willis: I don't know why [05:34] 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] 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 [05:35] 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] Yeah, I'm doing that.. along with yelp, lintian, gnome-user-guide, ubuntu-docs, and ubuntu-standard. :D lol [05:35] 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] ahmedipa: you are sure you are using the right password? ;) [05:35] rob_p stock ubuntu install. You tell me :) === weltall2 is now known as weltall [05:36] Rabblerouser: yeah I figured there was gonna be some dependencies [05:36] apb1963_: Did you install a FTP server? [05:36] rob_p: nope. Figured it was part of the package. Just whatever the ISO included. [05:36] apb1963_: Ubuntu doesn't come with it installed by default... [05:36] ah [05:36] I'm learning :) [05:37] a ftp server by default? how... 1980's ;) [05:37] that's where I'm from :) [05:37] and insecure [05:37] dr_willis: I see tty1 [05:37] no i'm pretty confident actually [05:37] dr_willis: I am sure about password [05:38] <`ingsoc> HOW DO I STOP UBUNTU FROM STEALING DNS SERVERS FROM MY ROUTER? [05:38] 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] 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] so I guess it's some sort of apt-get thingy right? [05:38] apb1963_: yeah [05:38] * shuduo is away: auto-away [05:38] apt-get proftp? [05:38] apb1963_: best would be to not use ftp. ;) but ssh [05:38] <`ingsoc> Anyone? [05:39] can I get files with ssh? [05:39] <`ingsoc> I just want it to stop! [05:39] never tried that [05:39] I <3 FTP shhh [05:39] apb1963_: theres very little you cant do with ssh [05:39] apb1963_: if you ahve never used ssh.. then spend the time and learn ig [05:39] "man scp" apbl [05:39] will it clean my house? I really need a package to do that [05:39] `ingsoc: stop using that router [05:39] apb1963_: ive seen very very few reasons to use ftp these days [05:39] dr_willis: when I type my username then password [05:39] <`ingsoc> wiggmpk: I can't afford a new one. [05:39] i'm old school what can I say [05:40] `ingsoc: So were you able to get logged back into the router? [05:40] 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] say 'uga booga.. me got rock.. hit donosaur in head' [05:40] actually I use winscp on the windoze side of things [05:40] `ingsoc: well then put it in bridge mode and do your own NAT [05:40] <`ingsoc> It's buggy as all hell. [05:40] dr_willis: after that he tell me that incorrect [05:40] <`ingsoc> wiggmpk: Because I know how to do that... [05:40] `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. [05:41] <`ingsoc> rob_p: It's too old for any custom firmware it seems. [05:41] 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] so really I should have just winscp'ed to the server instead of ftp localhost to test if it worked hunh? [05:41] 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. [05:42] ahmedipa: try typing your password in when it says 'login;' to be SURE you are typing it correctly.. ;) [05:42] it will echo back then... [05:42] `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] `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. :( [05:43] <`ingsoc> wiggmpk: I can't access my router. 10.1.1.1 just sits there and never loads. [05:43] `ingsoc: reset it and try again [05:43] 10.1.1.1 seems an odd router ip$ [05:43] ip# [05:43] `ingsoc: and by reset I mean hold the reset button, not power cycle [05:43] sounds like a D-Link or Belkin dr_willis [05:43] `ingsoc: checking... [05:44] or some junk the modem/router combo from the ISP (no offense) [05:44] nope. I guess sshd isn't installed by default either then? [05:44] apb1963_: theres no outside services installed by default... [05:44] oh [05:44] :) [05:44] apb1963_: security 101 ;) [05:45] sshd is a security risk? [05:45] dr_willis: login incorrect [05:45] <`ingsoc> wiggmpk: You mean like a factory reset? [05:45] any servies you dont need.. should NOT be installed by default. [05:45] `ingsoc: yes, but first I would be absolutely certain you have the right IP address, not just a local network segment [05:45] hmmm... installation is different from configuration and running [05:45] ahmedipa: either you are doing the password wrong.. or its been changed.. [05:45] but ok [05:45] `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] I will accept the ubuntu philosophy [05:46] so... apt-get sshd? [05:46] `ingsoc: and your certain the password is correct? [05:46] dr_willis: I am sure I type many time [05:46] You want ssh running by default on a install cd? [05:46] never thought about it before [05:46] <`ingsoc> wiggmpk: Yes, because incorrect password comes up with a failed page. [05:47] `ingsoc: then I would go with the factory reset and try again [05:47] dr_willis: if I have doubt user name but I can see user name from screen [05:47] 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] `ingsoc: be patient afterwards, like 15minsish [05:47] I'm used to inetd.. and it just being available. [05:47] `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] it's a question of habit moreso than anything else. [05:47] <`ingsoc> rob_p: I'm scared of bricking it. [05:47] ahmedipa: you can try fixing your sustem from a live cd. but thats a bit of a bother... [05:48] dr_willis: password is easy for me but I don't know when I type password no character appear [05:48] `ingsoc: fortune favors the bold my friend [05:48] ahmedipa: because it DOSENT ECHO the characters.. Its designed NOT to.. you dont want someone seeing your password when you type it. [05:48] `ingsoc: is there any other networking equipment between the combo router and the outside world? [05:48] dr_willis: may be you are right because I use now guest user and may not full permission cause this [05:49] `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] 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] dr_willis: when I type password as like as terminal exactly [05:49] 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] `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. [05:50] `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] dr_willis: I am sure about the password when I try to login in the screen told me login in again [05:50] `ingsoc: disconnect EVERYTHING except for your DSL router/combo and your computer [05:50] `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] `ingsoc:it was but you don't want the google ones below it for some insane reason. [05:50] ahmedipa: so on the Gui Login screen you enter your password.. do you see any red letters mentioning that its wrong? [05:50] `ingsoc: if you don't want those then you have to specify your own. [05:50] `ingsoc: I dunno how your wireless router is operating but double NATing isnt really best practice [05:50] dr_willis: when I try to make something wrong will show me it is wrong [05:51] * histo SCREAMS!!!!! in my own head. [05:51] dr_willis: no I don't see [05:51] hmm, anyone know the best possible FS for cross-platform use between Windows, Linux, and OSX? Other than FAT32? [05:51] dr_willis: because it is right [05:51] <`ingsoc> I don't know what to do! [05:51] !best | Daegalus [05:51] Daegalus: Usually, there is no single "best" application to perform a given task.

Do you have a live cd you can boot from? [05:52] <`ingsoc> histo: Thanks, histo. That's so useful. [05:52] yes [05:52] dr_willis: yes I have [05:52] `ingsoc: Here's what to do: ---> CONFIGURE YOUR ROUTER <--- [05:52] dr_willis: I will try to bring it [05:52] `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] right now [05:53] 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] `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] trollnet? [05:53] `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] `ingsoc: You probably need to reset the router to factory defaults and then reconfigure it... [05:53] <`ingsoc> No, Ubuntu is a DNS botnet. [05:54] you are confused. [05:54] `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] `ingsoc: Please stop embarrassing yourself and stop using the term, "botnet" until you have a clue what it means! [05:55] <`ingsoc> I'm just being over-dramatic. [05:55] and insane [05:55] `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] Progress or die... [05:55] `ingsoc: and possibly irritating the people trying to help you [05:55] ingsoc then you're not really inspiring anyone to redner anyhelp [05:55] <`ingsoc> dr_willis: That's some Borg shit right there.

Rebooting [05:58] hello [05:58] hola blackshirt [05:58] i have a simple stupid question .. what the mean output ot $dpkg -l | wc -l [05:58] blackshirt, greetings [05:59] success... now if I could only remember what I started out to do.... [05:59] 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] blackshirt: wc -l = counts the lines [05:59] <`ingsoc> What if I turn resolv.conf into a regular file? [05:59] `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] i always set my routers to hand out google dns ips ;) [06:00] apb1963_: you were talking about installing ssh server or something. [06:00] where does ubuntu store kernel .config file? [06:00] <`ingsoc> I don't even remember setting it to the Google DNS. [06:01] `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] 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] ? [06:01] `ingsoc: Do you have a ubuntu related support question? [06:01] correct me if im wrong, but arent DNS servers handed out by your ISP? [06:02] wiggmpk: unless you set them manually on the router. or override them on you rnetwork manager settings [06:02] 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] rob_p, best tech metaphor trophy awarded! [06:02] !ot [06:02] #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] where does ubuntu store kernel .config file? [06:02] cfhowlett: :P [06:02] ingsoc take it up with canonical please, not with the user support channel [06:02] swjh: im not sure it does.. a check of askubuntu.com may show an answer also. [06:02] \o/ Things work! [06:03] Until I inevitably break it again. [06:03] 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] blackshirt: what are you trying to acomplish anyway? [06:03] dr_willis: is it possible to see if I have CONFIG_HIGH_RES_TIMERS? [06:03] you grepped out some lines.. ;) [06:03] *CONFIG_HIGH_RES_TIMERS module [06:04] swjh: no idea. i havent had to mess with the kernel in years [06:04] Rabblerouser: all good then? =) [06:04] ok thank you [06:04] Yes, thanks for your help :) [06:04] cfhowlett: his router is giving him google's dns not ubntu [06:04] Rabblerouser: np [06:04] 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 [06:05] histo, well aware of that, but thanks. [06:05] blackshirt: so what is your grep filter supposed to be filtering out? where did you get it from? [06:05] 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? [06:06] <`ingsoc> Just to be sure. [06:06] <`ingsoc> If I go down that route. [06:06] dr_willis: yes, i have do it ... without grep was result 1151 number .. and with grep was 954 [06:07] dr_willis: i look at output of dpkg -l .. what is rc flags mean in the output ? [06:07] 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] dr_willis: we know ii was for installed state [06:07] `ingsoc: do you see the line in /etc/resolv.conf that says dont edit, your changes will be overwritten? [06:07] blackshirt: id have to refer you to the apt-get manuals and guides. I dont memorize them [06:08] <`ingsoc> wiggmpk: I edited the head file. [06:08] 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' [06:09] dr_willis: without grep ^ii there are some rc flag on the output of dpkg -l [06:09] `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] `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? [06:10] `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... [06:12] `ingsoc: well then you specifically made a change somewhere [06:12] <`ingsoc> wiggmpk: What do you mean? [06:13] `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. [06:14] dr_willis: , i should sure, $dpkg -l | grep ^ii | wc -l should return number of packages currently installed .. is this right ? [06:14] `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. [06:15] 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] `ingsoc: so why are you even here? just to waste peoples time? [06:15] im not on a ubuntu box so cant look at dpkg output [06:16] hi [06:16] `ingsoc: it's obvisouly googles dns servers or your isp is handing those to your router [06:16] 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] 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] where are file permissions data stored ? if i want to take backup of that ? [06:16] ^ii i think is 'start of line then the letters i i' :) [06:16] `ingsoc: wiggmpk: The ones in my router don't show up when I visit dnsleaktest.com... [06:16] `ingsoc: wiggmpk: Tbh, I don't know what DNS information is in my router. [06:16] your wasting peoples time [06:17] rockcket: they are not stored in a file.. they are part of the file [06:17] `ingsoc: the easiest way is to edit your resolv.conf the way you want, then run 'chattr +i /etc/resolv.conf' [06:17] `ingsoc: you'd have to remove the resolvconf package is all [06:17] !permissions | rockcket [06:17] 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] `ingsoc: sudo apt-get purge resolvconf [06:17] seems nothing is working and nothing is helouing, maybe you should try google [06:17] 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] 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] !info resolvconf [06:17] <`ingsoc> histo: Then how will it get DNS information? [06:17] 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] xiaclo: thanks [06:17] helping*. quit wasting this rooms time thx [06:18] rockcket: did you preserve their permissions? [06:18] rockcket: how did you back them up? how did you restore them? [06:18] `ingsoc: you'd have to specify it yourself [06:18] `ingsoc: like you do in debian [06:18] i just copied all of them into my USB and now copied from USB to /var/www - dr_willis [06:18] histo: what does that mean ? [06:18] rockcket: copied HOW..... what command [06:18] rockcket: how did you copy your files? [06:18] ctrl+c - keyboard [06:18] <`ingsoc> histo: So is there a difference between resolv.conf and the package? [06:19] rockcket: and what filesystem was on the Usb? [06:19] dr_willis: how can i know that ? [06:19] `ingsoc: the package is what is auto populating the file [06:19] `ingsoc: Which i've explained to you several times [06:19] rockcket: you should learn to use tar. and rsync, and the cp options ... you did not copy the permissions or other info [06:20] <`ingsoc> histo: I don't think you did. [06:20] rockcket: see how its mounted.. they come preformated with fat32.. that wont save linux permissions [06:20] dr_willis: ctrl+c does not copy permissions ? well you just said permissions are part of the file only [06:20] does $ df -h help in knowing that? [06:20] rockcket: and a USB flash drive formated to fat32 can not store that info [06:20] so tell me whats the good way to do backups ? [06:20] `ingsoc: you can scrollback and see or go to the log of this chatroom and search if you don't believe me [06:20] just cp command ? [06:21] or tar.gz and store that in USB ? [06:21] rockcket: you should learn to use tar. and rsync, and the cp options . [06:21] hm ok i dont know rsync [06:21] or format the flash to be ext2/3/4 [06:21] will learn thanks [06:21] how do i know file system of USB anyway ? [06:21] ok how to do that ? [06:21] how canin i reset my root pw? [06:21] rockcket: sudo blkid may show.. or fdisk -l [06:21] h4x0rz81, you dont. use sudo [06:22] hm ok thanks dr_willis [06:22] !mount | rockcket [06:22] rockcket: mount is used to attach devices to directories.

[06:25] ok hang on lol [06:25] histo: i will learn about rsync someday :) [06:25] these are not my things but hopefully will learn hehe [06:25] rockcket: it's a beautifully powerfull app [06:26] 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] lets see if i get used to it [06:27] rockcket: cp can copy permissions, use cp -a [06:27] rockcket: the controls going to the top panel on mazanized windows.. is a feature... [06:27] rockcket: the left side panel can be set to auto hide [06:28] ok will use cp -a next time thanks xiaclo , did not know :) [06:28] dr_willis: how ? [06:28] well i think it would probably be better to have the left side panel at the bottom to be honest [06:29] rockcket: i said it can auto hide.. not be moved to the bottom [06:29] and then auto hide/slide when not hovered for few seconds [06:29] just saying [06:29] ok guys, i accidentally made a decision that's gonna drive me deep down the rabbit hole [06:30] i bought 2 nvidia video cards and have 4 monitors [06:30] and i want them to play nice [06:30] any advice? [06:30] uplinx: if they work with the nvidia drivers properly they should work fine [06:30] plug them all in.. install nvidia drivers.. run twinview and see [06:30] well enable twinview. ;) [06:31] 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] dr_willis: is this the way http://askubuntu.com/questions/9865/how-can-i-configure-unitys-launcher-auto-hide-behavior/31418#31418 ?

[06:36] any additional suggestions on avoiding xinerama, having compiz, and having 2 nvidia cards with 4 monitors? [06:36] sorry librebre 3 not 3.5 [06:36] 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? [06:37] rommel092079: mysql is dead [06:37] i hope its a 7200RPM hard drive [06:37] hillary: sudo add-apt-repository ppa:libreoffice/ppa for the latest STABLE libreoffice, it will install base which will install openjdk [06:37] Gnea: what do you mean mysql is dead? [06:37] MySQL is *not* dead. [06:38] 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] i have tried tail -f Xorg.0.log auth.log syslog kern.log messages user.log daemon.log [06:38] amiu yes it is 7200rpm [06:38] absolutely no clues [06:38] anywhere else i can look? [06:38] amiu: can I do that on ubutn desktop ? [06:38] amiu: on the open source front, yes it is. MariaDB is the derivative. [06:39] Gnea: what do you mean mysql is dead? [06:39] yeah but i would recommend xfce over unity [06:39] STMelon, yes i have run the command and it is created. Next i do? [06:39] i need your suggestions guys please [06:39] Gnea: that's like saying debian is dead because ubuntu exists [06:39] MariaDB is far from over taking MySQL. it has just won over a couple friends is all [06:39] hillary: sudo apt-get update [06:40] then either do the updates in the update manager or type: sudo apt-get install libreoffice [06:40] advice me guys [06:40] rommel092079, i would also recommend debian over ubuntu-desktop for server applications [06:40] why debian? [06:41] xiaclo: hardly [06:41] because in debian mysql is still alive [06:41] [06:41] rommel092079: actually, ubuntu-server is probably more of what you'll need [06:41] you can still use mysql, of course [06:41] STMelon, ok it is updating . I will do "sudo apt-get install libreoffice' [06:41] uplinx: if you want 4 monitors going at the same time you use Twinview. which is nvidas enhanced xinerama [06:41] hillary are you using gnome or unity for your DE? [06:42] unity [06:42] if so, you may need to type sudo apt-get libreoffice-gnome [06:42] uplinx: i have compoziting when using twinview on 2 monitors... [06:42] Gnea: with my hardware specs and ubuntu-server, wont I be having problem with multiple connections around 100 [06:42] rommel092079: that sounds more like a network limitation [06:42] STMelon, ok i will do sudo apt-get libreoffice-gnome then [06:42] hillary: but wala! that should give you the latest stable libreoffice [06:43] rommel092079, no you wont [06:43] 3.6.2 , if i am corrct, is the latest stable Libreoffice [06:43] rommel092079, youd also be better off with debian if your not familiar with ubuntu server [06:43] amiu: can you expound please and Gnea: is the a network limitation in ubuntu? [06:43] STMelon, hillary@hillary-ESPRIMO-Mobile:~$ sudo apt-get libreoffice-gnome [06:43] E: Invalid operation libreoffice-gnome [06:44] amiu: can I use debian desktop aside from debian server? [06:44] use a proper command. ;) [06:44] hillary: suod apt-get install libreoffice-gnome [06:44] hillary: my bad, sorry forgot "install" [06:44] sudo* [06:44] rommel092079: well the idea behind using a server distribution to run a server is just that: it doesn't need a gui. [06:44] .......you could yes. why are you so insistent on running a desktop configuration for a server? [06:45] STMelon, yes it is installing [06:45] 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] 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] Faminexv: that's the way to do it right thur. [06:45] 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. [06:46] 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] id say xubuntu + xampp if your not ready for -nogui [06:46] 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] xubuntu? [06:46] linux has it as well, but only for VERY high connections, 50-100 won't touch a linux box, desktop or not [06:46] !xubuntu | rommel092079 [06:46] rommel092079: Xubuntu is Ubuntu with Xfce as the desktop environment.

Makes managing so much easier [06:47] 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] xubuntu is the xfce version of ubuntu (lightweight, uses least amount of ram, cpu, looks like old appleOS) [06:48] Nach0z: Nice.

See https://wiki.ubuntu.com/Lubuntu - /join #lubuntu for lubuntu support. [06:48] Faminexv: go with nginx >__> [06:48] lubuntu is nice if you want lightweight [06:48] amiu: will that suffice and dont have limitations on multiple users? [06:48] j/s [06:48] amiu, that would be lubuntu these days. xubuntu is not much lighter [06:48] but yeah I gotta go to sleep, it's almost 2 AM and I gotta be up early. [06:48] Nach0z: alright man, take it easy [06:49] @lubuntu question: it's a pretty decent light weight lubuntu and it's easy to use and manage. [06:49] I reccomend that over xubuntu and kubuntu for sure [06:49] if i could spell today [06:49] lxde is fugly. xfce is nicer. [06:50] It's all personal at that point. If that's the case just install xfce lol === ben1u is now known as u1neb [06:50] which i like as well.

[06:51] Faminexv, you got it backwards dude. what makes linux awesome is that you can hate a distro, and you don't have to leave your kernel [06:51] or the standard base of commands and such :) [06:51] Ubuntu Studio & debian are all any one ever needs.

[07:27] yes, jnhghy, there is [07:27] MatthewL: nuuu, I was about to have him discover his own asnwer [07:27] jnhghy: yes, there is, but that question is for ##php or the python equivilant [07:27] STMelon: Thanx a bunch... trying it now... [07:28] MatthewL: thanks for the your reply, any sugestions? [07:28] jnhghy: brb [07:28] mind you java is very vulnerable these days [07:28] I do not even have it installed [07:28] I know. Will run only on desktop and disable in browser. [07:29] 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] jnhghy: then maybe you should change the permissions of /etc/cron.monthly hmm? [07:29] 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] chaz68: https://help.ubuntu.com/community/Java [07:29] ausnet [07:30] 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] sudo update-alternatives --config java [07:30] ^^ [07:30] Senjai: I sense some sarcasm? :), have you watched to much Dr.House or you just don't like helping? :) [07:30] jnhghy: http://php.net/manual/en/function.file.php [07:30] Thanks MatthewL [07:30] jnhghy: I like helping, but Im not going to tell you the answer, I'd rather help you work through it. [07:30] Looks like the webupd8team's suppository crapped the bed pretty hard...

[07:31] jnhghy: btw, I just referred you to php documentation.

[07:32] I am using Ubuntu 12.10 [07:32] crazybrain, on windows there is jdownloader. i think it has a linux version [07:32] file processing in Linux is a whole diff animal. Kind of required jnhghy [07:32] 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 [07:33] STMelon: This www.duinsoft.nl deal seems to be working fine. Thanks for the alternative download / install... [07:33] np [07:33] Thanks for the help MatthewL, Senjai; [07:34] RollinV2: i want something that can connect to the router at 2am and automatically start downloading [07:34] I am using PPoE [07:34] 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] 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 [07:35] s3r3n1t7: thanks for the heads up [07:36] 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] crazybrain, but i cant think of any other apps aside from jdownloader. maybe someone else will know. [07:36] Anybody running an ajaxplorer server here? [07:37] crazybrain, use the at command [07:37] Figured out Pear and all the setups for all the plugins with the exception of access.S3 plugin.

You could also configure cron to only execute certain files. [07:39] Trying to configure access.S3 plugin here: http://ajaxplorer.info/plugins/access/s3/ [07:39] Anyone conquer that one yet? [07:39] 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 :-) [07:40] roger_: what it will do? [07:40] s3r3n1t7: you're right. [07:40] 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] how to query the changelog of a package? [07:40] 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. :) [07:41] crazy: "man at" will tell you about the at command [07:41] hi [07:42] learn your man pages. open terminal, "man nameofcommandthatconfusesyou" [07:42] helmut_, greetings [07:42] crazybrain: Please let me refer you to tldp [07:42] !tell crazybrain about tldp [07:42] crazybrain, please see my private message [07:50] I dont know what i have done to my desktop 12.04.

Well if you can turn your head sideways for long enough to open the "Displays" program, you can set the rotation there. [07:55] sqrt7744, i dont understand ?? [07:56] hillary_: use the monitor as it is, then change the settings [07:56] I have some questions that are basically just out of curiosity. Is there a noticeable hit to performance of win apps under wine? [07:57] aeon-ltd, ok let me try [07:59] roger_, it's always somewhat slower due to more steps for the same result [07:59] s3r3n1t7: so dual boot is still the best route...? [08:00] roger_, pure performance wise ont he same application? yeah [08:00] your better off running windows in a linux virtual machine [08:00] use virtualbox or kvm to run windows [08:00] amiu, even then there still is that performance hit due [08:01] if you have the dvd/iso, just dual boot. unless security or convenience is really necessary [08:01] cool cool.. another question [08:01] then youll have to restart the computer every time you want to switch between a linux app and a windows app [08:02] amiu: the performance gains are worth it, unless you're running i5/7 with 8gb+ ram and a decent gpu + maybe a ssd [08:03] Would this be the right place to ask about sql injection? [08:03] hi how can I enable quicklist with Nemo file manager on UButuntu 12.04/UNITy [08:03] nope [08:03] Alright. Thanks [08:03] 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] #mysql or #backtrack or one of the other info sec rooms [08:03] #mysql [08:03] okie dokie [08:03] roger_: no, but they are unix based [08:04] different kernels [08:04] aeon-ltd: ok.. so unix distro's? [08:04] posix yes, linux no. closer relation to bsd [08:04] roger_: porting is easy but not perfect (for cli based apps anyway) [08:05] how will I know if I need to install some dependencay with winetricks?

[08:40] 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] jennie: I would just check the history in the ubuntu software center and look for the command. may be [08:40] I want to accelerate mouse motion , mouse is too slow and default option in ubuntu are not making it fast [08:40] 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] lxrt: fdisk and blkid both show that only one hard drive is being seen [08:42] 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] lxrt: are you scripting this into a program or could you use a gui?

It thinks you have a flopppy fd0. - theres no indication it sees any HARD DRIVE. [08:52] a hard drive would not be fd0 [08:53] so ive said the same thing 4 times now.. its not seeing your hard drive,.. [08:53] either check your configuration if its in vbox.. or chek the hd in a real machine to prove its working [08:54] lxrt: it might be a group permission thing [08:54] for vmware to the actual hardware [08:55] iid have to say check the vmware docs for how to set it to access a real physical usb device [08:56] I had a vbox that wouldn't use my usb bus's so I had to modify groups. I would doubt it is an ubuntu issue. but there is always doubt of doubt [08:57] woo: It is an Ubuntu issue. You have to be in the vboxusers group in order to use USB support, as well as you have to have the ´vbox extension pack installed, as documented in the vbox documentation. [08:57] dr_willis: so it could be VMware issue, will check on their channel [08:58] bekks: ya so I didnt read that I just started modding away. may be thats why all my box's die over time :p [08:58] no one ever bothers to read docs...

But from this a few questions arise: [09:38] 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? [09:39] nomike: no [09:40] nomike: Dynamic resolv.conf(5) file for glibc resolver(3) generated by resolvconf(8) [09:40] nomike: it will be handled directly from network-manager and the internal dns-server [09:41] ah..ok..so If I add a search domain there, it is used by dnsmasq running on localhsot [09:41] nomike: should be, yes [09:43] i just disabled dnsmasq - comment out 'dns=dnsmasq' in /etc/NetworkManager/NetworkManager.conf [09:43] then sudo service network-manager restart === Guest71471 is now known as DaZ [09:48] there is no dns server running on localhost.

[09:56] i im not using ubuntu. i decide to download and try it. im now downloading it [09:56] TomyLaptop: that is not debatable [09:56] TomyLaptop: its a fact [09:56] you can grant passwordless sudo rights to "/usr/bin/apt-get update" [09:57] and "/usr/bin/apt-get upgrade" [09:57] any tool to read version of id3-tags?

The only thing is, there is no old config to migrate [09:59] TomyLaptop: its a normal installation and the migration is implemented in the postinst and not in apt-get [09:59] ah [09:59] TomyLaptop: and the postinst will be executed on install, upgrade, dist-upgrade [09:59] ok that was the basis of my conclusion [10:00] still, updating existing packages from verified sources is less harmful than installing new ones [10:00] 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.

It is not dependant on wether it is an installation or an update. [10:05] 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. [10:06] 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] TomyLaptop: But it doesnt change the fact, that you just have to trust the package maintainer whenever installing or updating a package. [10:07] bekks, you don't? === skp1 is now known as nick === nick is now known as Guest60989 [10:08] TomyLaptop: Thats not the point of this discussion.

[10:10] nomike i think mine does.. im not at home to check [10:11] nomike: just disable it and be done with it [10:11] 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] TomyLaptop: And both point were already explained and cleared. :) [10:12] ciao [10:12] !list [10:12] OltreIrc`64704: No warez here!

[10:19] can I ask here? [10:19] arcimboldo: ask it and see ;-0 [10:19] arcimboldo, that's not a question about posix shells :) [10:19] (in other words: dont ask to ask, just ask) [10:20] arcimboldo, out with it! [10:20] I need to know if running `exec cmd` will *always* execute the *binary* `cmd`, even if there is a builtin [10:20] e.g. exec time --version will call the time binary on *any* posix shell? [10:20] hello i need help [10:20] anyone alive? [10:21] !ask [10:21] were i can find the patchs that ubuntu devs apply ?

If anyone knows the answer they will most likely reply. :-) See also !patience [10:21] my guess is yes, since exec need to replace the current process [10:21] arcimboldo: if there is a builtin, it will be used. use /path/to/cmd to make sure its not using builtins [10:21] Soban, on packages.ubuntu.org i think [10:21] llutz, I can't, because I cannot know where the binary is in advance [10:21] it's a software that needs to connect via ssh on a remote machine, and cannot know what operating system is [10:22] when i put in the live ubuntu cd it disables my optical mouse and my network adaptor constanly disconnects [10:22] arcimboldo, "which name-of-binary" [10:22] any solution? [10:22] it does this with every distro of linux [10:22] TomyLaptop, I don't think which is in the posix standard [10:23] I could use `command time`, but I also have to run exec, because I need to replace the current shell. [10:23] my optical mouse is not detected but keyboard works fine [10:23] (in order to know when the program exits) [10:23] johnkingbinger: sounds like some odd hardware bug. whats the wireless chipset?

[10:26] i really dont understand why any linux distro wont detect the optical mouse [10:26] i looked in my bios [10:26] no luck [10:26] if I run bash -c "exec time --version" it seems that it's executing the binary and not the builtin [10:26] while bash -c "time --version" executes the builtin [10:26] johnkingbinger: Which mouse it it and how is it connected? [10:26] its the logitech 100m [10:27] ive tried different optical mice same thing [10:27] johnkingbinger: How is it connected? [10:27] usb [10:27] 2.0 [10:28] arcimboldo: #bash [10:28] hey all, question... after shutting down normally yday, i booted today into shell and couldnt even get into X via startx command...any ideas? [10:28] johnkingbinger: Maybe your usb ports are broken? [10:28] johnkingbinger, didnt get the middle of the conversation. does the laser/led shut down? [10:28] ubuntu didnt even want to start into x [10:28] pishkur: state any errors startx says... [10:28] pishkur: startx is deprecated nowadays. [10:28] yes tomy the led light shuts off === lst is now known as lst-liar [10:29] iceroot, asked there also, thnx [10:29] didnt get any errors, had to reinstall ubuntu === lst-liar is now known as celestialform [10:29] pishkur: Which Ubuntz do you have? [10:29] 12.04 [10:29] this is a new build i just bult this pc today [10:29] Can someone perhaps personally assist me in mounting homdirs from active directory to my linux workstation? :) Pm me :) [10:29] the mouse is working now [10:29] then it like doesnt get power from the usb port [10:29] pishkur: guess its to late to get help on it then. [10:29] pishkur: Then start the lightdm service instead of reinstalling your system. [10:29] likely* [10:29] bekks: from the shell? [10:29] GIGABYTE GA-970A-D3 AMD 9 Series FX Motherboard [10:29] arcimboldo: please use only one channel :) [10:29] pishkur: Yes. You have to have lightdm installed before. [10:30] you think its a power issue>? how so when its working fine on windows? [10:30] iceroot, I asked there after you suggested me to move there :) [10:30] bekks, cant seem to find it in ubuntu software center [10:30] lightdm is installed by default on ubuntu [10:30] arcimboldo: ok :) [10:30] ah ok [10:30] startx? oh crap, reminds me of starting windows 3.1 [10:31] yeah, been a while since i was on linux :D [10:31] pishkur: The software center implies that you already have working X, which was started by lightdm. [10:31] !info lightdm [10:31] bekks: ok, just figured it was some sort of update i did last night [10:31] lightdm (source: lightdm): Display Manager. In component main, is optional.

Thank you in advance [10:31] i just dont understand why wont any linux distro detect my usb ports it just shuts them off [10:31] i have a 500wat power supply [10:32] that doesnt mean anything [10:32] 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] IF power is an issue, it matters how many devices are connected to the usb port and how much power they draw [10:32] Dimitri_J: you mean mounting windows shares> thas dosable with the file manager or fstab entries and the smbfs package [10:33] johnkingbinger, so, does the mouse light up when in the bios? [10:33] i only have 1 the mouse my keyboard is connected to the ps2 port [10:33] yes the mouse works fine everywhere else but when i boot up into any linux the light turns off [10:33] pishkur: There is no reason to ask in an unsolicited query. Keep it in the channel please. [10:34] i thought maybe it was my bios causeing a bug because it is fairly new [10:34] johnkingbinger, what's your hardware [10:34] hmm ok [10:34] brand new just reelased hardware is ofteh the most problematic in linux [10:34] 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] 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? [10:35] can i do this from the live cd ? @kunji [10:35] floogy, is xrdp not working for you? [10:35] johnkingbinger: yes [10:35] ok i will give that a go [10:35] because windows is just to unsecure for me [10:35] TomyBook, I didn't tried yet. [10:36] i'm not going to recommend xrdp since it messes up keyboard layouts, but it worked out of the box for me [10:36] 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] 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] and if you use the vnc connector, you can steal its vnc session :P [10:36] how do i return back to the gui @kunji? [10:37] ctrl alt f7 usually [10:37] johnkingbinger: ctrl+alt+f7 [10:37] TomyBook, so vnc is unsecure? [10:37] ok brb [10:37] What about NX? [10:37] floogy, it asks for the password when you steal the session [10:37] if it's otherwise secure, i dont know [10:38] i havent evaluated that [10:38] floogy: Yes, VNC is insecure and you should ALWAYS tunnel it through ssh, which is what NX does. [10:38] hello [10:38] i'm very very sure that at one point realvnc was unsecure [10:39] because i've had some script log into my vnc server and open a terminal [10:39] Hi, bekks, thank you. So you would suggest using NX over all other alternatives, I guess? [10:39] floogy: Yes. [10:39] that was on windows [10:39] How to download all packages with dependecies if they are already installed on my machine? [10:39] apt cache is empty [10:39] luckily i was typing stuff while it did that so it didnt get to drop its payload [10:39] Ok, thank you. Alsoi I think it might be the fastest remote solution. [10:39] poq: redownlad them you mean? [10:40] 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] dr_willis: yes without installing (they are already installed on my PC but I want to install it on other) [10:40] @kunji i tryed another mouse [10:40] same thing happen [10:40] the led stays on untilli boot into linux [10:40] bekks, but I need a windows client to. Does that exists for NX? Ok, I'll look into it on their website... [10:41] !freenx [10:41] FreeNX is advanced remote desktop technology. For more information and install instructions, see https://help.ubuntu.com/community/FreeNX [10:41] floogy: Of course. [10:41] theres nx then theres freenx ;) [10:41] 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] johnkingbinger: Hmm, no idea then, sorry. [10:41] thanks to all. [10:41] ive searched for the bug [10:41] its a known bug [10:41] howdy all [10:41] :) [10:42] johnkingbinger, do you use an USB3 port ? [10:42] matthewvz, greetings [10:42] 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] hi cfhowlett [10:42] :) [10:42] no but i have it on my mobo [10:42] 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] https://bugs.launchpad.net/ubuntu/+source/linux/+bug/1006145 [10:42] Ubuntu bug 1006145 in linux (Ubuntu) "Logitech Mouse not recognised on boot in 12.04 & later" [Medium,Confirmed] [10:43] bekks, how would they remove that file? [10:43] TomyBook: And yes, the password isnt encrypted. [10:43] anyone on 10.04 with an nvidia quadro 600? [10:43] or similar? [10:43] bruteforcing passwords remotely can be made infeasible [10:44] by introducing delays for wrong passwords [10:44] !anyone | Chosi [10:44] Chosi: 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. [10:44] and it's a universal issue, not limited to vnc === linuxthefish` is now known as linuxthefish [10:45] Chosi, why do you stick with 10.04? [10:45] TomyBook: There is no auth delay in vnc, so bruteforcing is pretty fast. === mpmc|Away is now known as mpmc [10:46] it's a customer. i have no idea why he's still on 10.04 :) [10:46] bekks, that's not a protocol limitation [10:46] TomyBook: No one said it would be. [10:46] he's got two quadro 600s and 2 screens and can't get 3d and the second screen to work after an update [10:46] openvpn-sa requires a maximum of 10.04 [10:46] I am installing it right now [10:46] :P [10:47] 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] bekks, you said "vnc is insecure". VNC is a protocol [10:47] jeetpei: can you try /usr/bin/ssh? [10:47] jeetpei: what is the output of « echo $PATH »? [10:48] TomyBook: as is ftp, that is also rather insecure [10:48] ThinkT510: I don't think they're supposed to be [10:48] PATH=$PATH:$HOME/bin:/usr/bin [10:48] TomyBook: This meta-discussion get totally unrelated to the support issue that VNC should not be used without a secured tunnel. [10:48] .. [10:48] ThinkT510, but bruteforcing the password is not one of its inherent weaknesses [10:48] jeetpei: well there you go. How are you setting your PATH? [10:49] in .bashrc [10:49] jeetpei: and you are sure that "echo $PATH" returned what you said above exactly? [10:49] jeetpei: pastebin your ~/.bashrc [10:49] 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". [10:50] bruteforcing the password can always be prevented, except from people who have access to the password hash === DaZ- is now known as DaZ [10:50] no i just told path what i setted :) === DaZ is now known as Guest53556 [10:50] TomyBook: There is no password hash in VNC. The password is transmitted unsecured. Please stop discussing things you dont know anything about obviously. [10:50] bekks, you still havent presented any evidence for premise 2 [10:50] Hi, I am trying to make linux workstations where students ( I'am in a school) can access there own files from the windows 2008 Active Directory. I can join the domain, but the homedirs are not imported.. Anyone got an idea? [10:51] and premise 1 we agree on [10:51] TomyBook: I wont present evidence of anything to people who have no clue what they are talking about. [10:51] uh oh [10:51] ad hominem is not an argument, it's a fallacy [10:52] TomyBook: Whatever, this discussion is now closed by me. :P [10:52] * cfhowlett ... meanwhile back in the actual SUPPORT discussions ... [10:52] uh oh [10:52] please, put me on ignore, bekks [10:52] Done. [10:52] lol [10:53] hope you guys work it out in the future [10:53] jrib : sorry i have to run .. Thanks for your help .. will see this problem later [10:53] Thanks [10:54] i sat tomy won the argument tho [10:54] say* [10:54] thanks, i was beginning to think i'm crazy :) [10:55] johnkingbinger: Please come back to support now. [10:55] ok sorry [10:55] johnkingbinger: The entire discussion is over, there is no need to revive it again. [10:56] Dimitri_J, if you are still around check out https://wiki.umn.edu/Main/UbuntuAndActiveDirectory search for the "Local logins" section and see if that helps you [10:57] ok once im in lsusb what do i do? if i see the mouse is detected and its a driver issue? [10:58] johnkingbinger: You cant be "in lsusb". lsusb just lists your detected usb devices. [10:58] The place i am working has got a domain called katienen.lan [10:58] now what is my workgroup, and what is my realm [10:58] johnkingbinger: lsusb will not show you driver problems or whatever. It will only show you the devices detected. [10:58] can i create a raid 10 from an existing raid 1 and 2 new hdds without reformating? === flintser_ is now known as flintser [10:58] software-raid with dmraid [10:59] ok so once i put that in the termanal [10:59] The place i am working has got a domain called katienen.lan => what is my workgroup, and what is my realm? [10:59] what next? [10:59] johnkingbinger: run lsusb [11:00] Dimitri_J, what do you want to enter the workgroup and realm into? [11:00] <`ingsoc> Hi, I get this weird error after I play Heroes on Newerth on Linux. Every time I close the game, when I try an open Chromium, I get the error in a terminal: "bash: fork: retry: No child processes". I know it's a longshot, but does anyone have any clues? [11:00] <`ingsoc> After a while every starts working normally. [11:00] Tomy, In samba conf files [11:00] ah, thought those were windows terms :) [11:01] anyway, sorry, domain and workgroup/realm are not related in any way [11:01] tomy you are a very smart guy man [11:02] anyone knows a image hosting site where I can make an album? [11:02] MAREZZ! [11:02] Dimitri_J, the link I gave you has a good sample of the samba.conf file should looke like. in your case you don't want anything do do with the workgroup as you just want to deal withe domain [11:02] 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] STMelon, hey melons [11:02] Hi folks. I suddently got one GIANT mouse pointer. No idea what it came from, but it happened when I was trying out different nvidia xorg drivers. Now I run nouveau. Any idea how to restore the original size?

[11:10] savagecroc: yes [11:10] yes, that's what it's for [11:11] cool. just checking before i start dumping tons of crap in there [11:11] does the OS automatically clean it up? [11:13] savagecroc: after a reboot, yes [11:13] sweet [11:13] ah [11:13] what if the system never reboots? [11:13] i.e. only once per year or something? [11:13] savagecroc: then you have a lot of kernel-exploits [11:13] savagecroc: Then /tmp is not cleaned up. [11:13] ok [11:14] iceroot: haha ok [11:14] yeah that's a good question.. is running apt-get upgrade enough to avoid getting kernal-exploits? [11:15] savagecroc, update pulls what's in the repos. so long as those are not compromised ... [11:15] what's a reboot needed for then? [11:15] Hey all [11:15] BluesKaj, greetings [11:15] lol [11:16] hi cfhowlett [11:22] savagecroc, to be precise, apt will install updated kernels, but it will not run them [11:22] ah right [11:23] to run them, you need to reboot (short answer) [11:23] will it tell you if it needs a reboot? [11:23] if you're using a gui, it likely will [11:23] nah [11:23] but running things for a year somehow tells me you're not :) [11:23] command line [11:23] then it won't tell you [11:25] savagecroc: No. [11:25] savagecroc, cat /proc/version shows you the currently running kernel. ls /boot shows you what's installed. [11:26] you could probably write a small bash script from there [11:26] ok [11:26] @TomyBook, and that little nugget of info made lurking here totally worth it. thanx!

[11:35] 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] if so .. schedule a reboot at 12am [11:36] just isntalled ubuntu 12.10 and virtualbox, when I try to run a virtual machine I get an error, can show a pastebin? [11:36] savagecroc, there will likely be more than one kernel installed [11:36] 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] then runs a bunch of app-tests [11:36] since, as a precaution, kernel packages are never uninstalled automatically [11:36] then re-joins the swarm [11:37] neat [11:38] 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] near you. [11:38] and if your in china.. you HAVE to be served by a server inside china.. otherwise it'll be shit slow [11:39] so i don't think doing the upgrading server stuff is much more difficult once that's implemented [11:44] nom nom om [11:45] * defekt throws a !botsnack [11:47] hi all [11:51] mooo [11:52] hi. ubuntu 12.10, gnome fallback. fresh install on formatted hd. the initial user account works fine, but if i create another one and login, gnome-panel doesn't load. any ideas? [11:54] how did you make the new user? [11:55] system settings via gui [11:55] hi guys, I kinda passwd -d my root user and I have no other user and now I can't login [11:56] doh! [11:56] what did you configure for login for this user? gnome, unity,...? [11:56] thats weird Adriannom . Try just a simple 'sudo adduser billgates' :) se eif that one works [11:56] the_drow: by "root user", you mean the first user you created during install, named something other than "root" right? [11:56] jrib: yup [11:56] jrib: I can't create another one using the guest account obviously. [11:56] breaker313, good point, i forgot unity existed after installing gnome fallback [11:57] dr_willis, ok [11:57] 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] breaker313, actually, looks like i removed unity [11:57] jrib: already tried that, recovery mode isn't working [11:57] Adriannom: hm [11:58] the_drow: define "isn't working" [11:58] by the way, how to easily remove unity? [11:58] jrib: I have a refabricated Toshiba CS850. It's not booting. It can't load the drivers correctly [11:59] the_drow: how do you boot normally? [11:59] celestialform, why remove? just don't use it. You can boot or add other DE's [11:59] !nounity|celestialform, [11:59] 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] jrib: with the normal mode it works [12:00] Free Charles-like tool that can limit perceived bandwidth???? [12:00] dr_willis, same problem with adduser [12:00] 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] 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] Using gnome-shell already but thanks for the answers [12:00] the_drow: but you don't need wifi [12:00] http://pastiebin.com/?page=p&id=5114e8cfe7089 [12:00] anyone know how to solve that error? [12:01] Adriannom: so all the desktops fail for the new users? [12:01] yup [12:01] same after restart, and original account still fine [12:02] Adriannom: ok.. try somthing weird? :) install jwm, see if just a basic window manager works for them [12:02] !info jwm [12:02] 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 [12:03] 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] jwm works fine [12:03] permissions all fine [12:03] thats a good sign i guess.. [12:04] you are doing all this logging in via LightDm correct? [12:04] yup [12:05] so Unity fail. GNome-fallback fail, jwm works.. tried any others? [12:05] didn't try unity on the new account, but yes it failed in its own way ;) [12:06] nope but if jwm works doesn't that point to gnome? [12:06] i can try others if it helps [12:06] you could try going to the console. stopping lightdm, and do a 'startx' and see any error messages seem to appear. [12:06] its pointing to a gnomeish issue.. but not sure what. [12:07] hm ok, i kill it from ps ax right? [12:07] <36DACW2U4> https://petitions.whitehouse.gov/petition/fire-assistant-us-attorney-steve-heymann/RJKSY2nb [12:07] sorry, got disconnected [12:07] yeh I tried the live cd [12:07] <36DACW2U4> sign up now, for Aaron Schwartz. [12:07] isn't there a log file i can look at? [12:07] and/or make a .xinitrc file with just the line 'exec gnome-terminal' then startx should make a X desktop that jas just a terminal. then try to start gnome from the terminal and look for errors [12:07] It only lets me install ubuntu or test it live, no access to the system itself [12:07] theres some .X logs in your home. but ive never seen them have much usefull info [12:08] the_drow: You wnat to access your allready installed sstem from a live cd? [12:08] right === root is now known as Guest69211 [12:08] dr_willis: someone here suggested that. recovery mode isn't working [12:08] well hold on i can get a terminal up right now with ctrl+alt+t === 36DACW2U4 is now known as DeadWeasel [12:09] the_drow: you just look in the file manager for your hard drive/partitions.. unless you are using home encryption, you should be able to access them [12:09] Adriannom: so you are in jwm right now? [12:09] it's... working now... thank you? [12:09] ;) [12:09] heh... [12:10] weirdness... [12:10] yeah, maybe the switch to another wm first fixed it [12:10] for some reason [12:10] anyway much appreciate the help :) [12:10] file a bug/.. on what.. no idea. ;) [12:11] Does anyone know of a replacement for mysql-workbench that doesn't crash when I start it? [12:12] This is a problem that exists since 2010 and apparently nobody cared to fix it. [12:12] dr_willis, lol [12:12] http://bugs.mysql.com/bug.php?id=61170 [12:12] perhaps the mysql channel may offer reccomendations [12:16] sorry, disconnected again [12:16] anyway what exactly should I do to recover my main account if recovery mode is not working [12:17] Hi! I need to install a package on a Ubuntu machine but don't have admin access. Is there any alternative to compiling from scratch (configure/make)? [12:18] cheshair: go to ur sysadmin [12:19] cheshair: if you are deving on that machine, also smack him for not giving you root access to your own machine [12:19] I keep getting prompted for a keyring password, and it's not taking. Which password is it looking for, my user? [12:20] i'm trying to change a uid on another account, but it complains that the account is logged in. it isn't... [12:20] 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? [12:21] 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] any ideas? [12:21] I am trying to find lisp programmers.Is there any way that lisp is realted big data. [12:21] It's when I fire up chromium -- that's the sacrificial lamb browser I use for fb and google stuff [12:21] the_drow: thanks, even though the context is a bit more complex than that :-) [12:22] (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] manjush: lisp isnt used for big data - back in the days when lisp was invented there wasnt big data - except in science fiction stories. [12:23] if uname tells me "x86_64 GNU/Linux" what ubuntu deb package am I suppose to use: amd64 or i386? [12:23] Adriannom, try killing that user manually ( sudo skill -KILL "USER_NAME" ) === ericab is now known as ericab_away [12:24] the_drow: whats not working in recovery mode anyway? it should let you get to a root shell [12:24] FlowRiser, done, same problem [12:24] Adriannom, tried doing it from root ? [12:25] Adriannom, i haven't used root in years... do you mean su mode? [12:25] cheshair: Whats the output of uname -a? [12:26] FlowRiser even ;s [12:27] hello [12:27] Adriannom, then i have no ideea O.o [12:28] FlowRiser, huh? i meant.. do you mean single user mode? [12:29] bekks: lisp isn't used for big data.Bug sense is using lisp for its big data platform. [12:29] bekks: kernel 2.6.34.8 and ends with x86_64 GNU/Linux [12:29] Adriannom, yes, try in su mode [12:29] FlowRiser, i think it would work, i also think it would work if i restarted the machine [12:29] FlowRiser, however... it worries me :| [12:30] Adriannom, btw, use su mode at your own risk. (i always forget to add this) [12:30] FlowRiser, i guess i'm wondering why it's not logging users out properly [12:30] or... whatever [12:31] Adriannom, try seeing how many lightdm processes are running at a moment [12:31] ok [12:32] FlowRiser, 12 [12:32] FlowRiser, and one user is logged in [12:34] manjush: Please keep it in this channel. [12:34] manjush: Again: Keep it in this channel, do not query me. [12:35] 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] Adriannom, don't do that just yet [12:35] ok gotcha [12:36] Adriannom, once in logon screen; ctrl-alt-f1, login manually and kill al those processes [12:36] Adriannom, then start lightdm and see if it works [12:36] 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] Adriannom, i'll see you when you get back ;) [12:36] bekks: fine. I will keep it in this channel [12:37] manjush: Whats "big data" for you then? A bugtracker database? :) [12:37] 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] ok [12:38] bekks: Big data is all about analysying data to value.This system used big data to analyse the data of bugs. [12:39] FlowRiser, nope [12:39] FlowRiser, still happening [12:40] makes me wonder if a reboot would work after all [12:40] i'll try [12:40] bekks: check this https://www.bugsense.com/ These people use lisp [12:41] anyone here ever edited their aptitude? [12:41] anyone using a USB prepaid broadband? [12:41] my attitude is fine thank you very much! [12:41] * cfhowlett ... oh wait ... [12:42] FlowRiser, yup, that worked. unfortunately if i login as the other user then logout, the same problem remains [12:42] Hi, I wrote an upstart job that unfortunately doesn't work on reboot. Is there any way I can debug this? [12:43] only 3 lightdm processes this time [12:43] * dch *embarrassed* just found http://upstart.ubuntu.com/wiki/Debugging [12:43] Having trouble getting ubuntu to do anything at all on a new machine with UEFI. nothing on any drives... I've tried disabling UEFI, tried XHCI and EHCI workarounds, tried the secureboot remix.. All of it ends in an initramfs prompt complaining that it can't find any drives. [12:43] any suggestions? [12:44] BIOS sees all the drives fine. [12:44] Strange... I have a mainboard with UEFI and everything works fine... are you actually able to install ubuntu? [12:45] <_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] _helios_: ...so I've got two thousand-dollar paperweights right now. :/ [12:45] p00c: nope. [12:45] maybe it's a problem with lightdm itself? [12:45] p00c: this is from the live media. [12:45] canthus13, so sad but hey ... install virtualbox and put ubunt inside! [12:45] tell us your specs [12:45] <_helios_> canthus13: I'm afraid so :( [12:46] cfhowlett: I don't have 400 bucks to buy copies of windows. [12:46] p00c: Gigabyte GA-870A-D3, AMD FX-6100, 8GB ram, nvidia 640. [12:46] <_helios_> canthus13: to speed up the process you can post on Ubuntu forums your problems include as much detail on the system as you can. [12:46] so no OS? so sorry [12:46] cfhowlett: nope. === dirtypillows is now known as ShameSpiral [12:48] canthus13: what? I have almost the same specs... what kind of error messages (if ever) you get ? [12:49] 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 mee [12:50] p00c: unable to find a live filesystem... this happens soon after the splash screen. If I use unetbootin to make the install media, it throws lots of errors related assigning a number to the USB devices, otherwise it's silent. [12:51] * canthus13 has tried 12.04, 12.10, secureboot remix, Mint 14... [12:51] all throw the same error. the UEFI tutorial is no use. :/ [12:52] canthus:13 did you put your usb drive in a 3.0 socket? [12:52] change it to 2.0 [12:52] I've never seen this before. Jsut reinstalled something, and it's installed as gearman-job-server.dpkg-new [12:52] What's the signifiance of dpkg-new [12:52] It all works fine. Although I've renames the config files etc, to not have that. [12:52] p00c: I have no idea how to tel the difference. [12:52] 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? [12:54] 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? [12:55] 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] cantus13: or is anywhere written "3.0" or "2.0"? [12:56] canthus13: usually there should be a distinction provided by your main board [12:56] 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 [12:57] canthus13: forgot to ask: do you actually want to boot from a USB drive? ^^ [12:58] Adriannom, sry, i am studying for my exams :D I don't think it's a lightdm problem [13:00] p00c: yup. And I figured it out... the 3.0 ports are blue and won't even attempt to boot. [13:00] FlowRiser, np :) [13:00] the other 10 ports wil boot.. and sometime during the splash USB stops responding. [13:00] canthus13: Great, so now try to boot from a 2.0 port, it should actually work [13:01] Adriannom, at least you identified the possible problem source [13:01] hey guys [13:01] FlowRiser, what's that? if not lightdm? [13:01] i have ubuntu running on a VM [13:01] but um [13:01] p00c: I tried all 10. won't work. [13:01] problem is [13:01] its using an internal ip [13:01] how do i fix that? [13:01] morph3k, enter isn't a comma ;) [13:02] sorry bad habit [13:02] what kind of installer for the .iso did you use? [13:02] unetbootin? [13:02] its just the 12.04 server edition [13:02] p00c: I've tried unetbootin and usb-creator [13:02] canthus13: hang on [13:03] Adriannom, if it is lightdm, you should file a bug, you might get your fix in the process; btw what lightdm version you have ? (lightdm --version) [13:03] canthus13: try that one: http://www.pendrivelinux.com/universal-usb-installer-easy-as-1-2-3/ [13:04] FlowRiser, 1.4.0 [13:04] p00c: ...there's no linux version of that.:/ [13:04] anyone familiar with nginx? [13:04] Hmm. [13:04] FlowRiser, well i thought it might be lightdm, but really i'm just making an assumption i guess [13:04] the_jeebster: yep [13:05] very [13:05] time to fire up a VM. [13:05] canthus13: damn, forgot it... try to do the following: change your boot order to USB->HDD->CD [13:05] FlowRiser, brb [13:05] p00c: Already done. [13:05] savagecroc: I've booted up a vps running nginx I can curl the public IP but if I enter the same address in the browser, no dice [13:05] I'm gonna fire up a VM and try that pendrive installer. I've got XP on one. [13:05] le strange [13:06] the_jeebster: hang on.. so wget 10.10.10.10 gives you a page [13:06] How can I see all shell programs installed in a package, instead shearching it on the net ? [13:06] but visiting in the browser doesnt'? [13:06] canthus13: well then try to download the .iso file again and create a new bootable stick === Xigam is now known as xBytez [13:06] savagecroc: I'm using curl and yeah [13:06] canthus13: I honestly can't provide you with any better solutions... [13:07] p00c: I'm gonna give the pendrive one a shot in a VM. [13:07] the_jeebster: what happens in the browser? if you view source do you see anything? do you see corrosponding requests in either errror.log or access.log? [13:07] canthus13: do it [13:07] lol [13:07] ----How can I see all shell programs installed in a package, instead shearching it on the net ? [13:07] canthus13: it always worked for me though [13:07] back [13:08] savegecroc: I just get a webpage not available error. where are the log files kept? I thought they're in /var/ngin [13:08] does anyone here mind seeing if they can ssh into my VM? [13:08] locate nginx | grep log [13:08] i would really appreciate it [13:08] been working on this for hours [13:09] the_jeebster: it's setup in your config file [13:09] Need help with packages, someone ? [13:09] nginx.conf has paths to the files [13:09] morph3k use http://www.canyouseeme.org/ to see if port 22 is open [13:11] savagecroc: ok so I'm tailing the access log and the web browsers aren't even accessing the server. no response. [13:11] savagecroc: server responds to curl === linuxthefish` is now known as linuxthefish [13:11] and your accessing it by ip address? [13:12] savagecroc: yes, that's all I have now [13:12] try another browser..that is really weird [13:12] savagecroc: it's strange because yesterday I could hit it by ip address. maybe it's the hosting company [13:12] the_jeebster: do you have a proxy setup in the browser? [13:12] How can I see all shell programs installed in a package ? === Adriannom- is now known as Adriannom [13:12] savageproc: don't think so. fucking strange that it works in firefox but not chrome or safari [13:13] but if you can curl the site but not the browser [13:13] the_jeebster: what OS? [13:13] os x 10.7 [13:14] check in system preferences > network > proxies [13:14] see if you have a proxy enabled [13:14] just the defaults I think [13:14] hmmm [13:15] problem is [13:15] i'd understand if it was dns [13:15] but for IPs it makes no sense [13:15] yeah I've gotta get my dns setup first then I'd have an issue [13:15] do you have a vpn? [13:15] the_jeebster: please watch your language [13:15] sorry [13:17] the_jeebster: reboot .. try again [13:17] i can't think of anything else.. if you want, you can pm me the ip and i'll test from my computer [13:18] does ubuntu servr autoclean the package cache after not apt-get update'ing for a while? [13:18] (or is that something my hoster is doing) [13:18] oops, wrong key [13:19] savagecroc: thanks. it was working firefox so I'll see if I can get it kinked out [13:19] exit [13:20] How can I know how many programs installed a package, and their names ? [13:20] I asked a query about lisp.I am searching it for very long time.May be it's time to python things. [13:22] :( [13:23] hi. my keyboard doesn't respond to key strokes anymore. could anyone show me where to start for a solution? [13:24] how do i ask my system whether a specific library is installed on it? either package or from sources and linked to the system?

[13:26] or every time you log in with that user? [13:26] yes. in a way. logout and reboot didn't do the trick [13:26] hmmmm [13:27] only one user. yes. and only in x (tty works fine) [13:27] this happened before. keyboard stopped working some time after using the gimp [13:27] reboot usually solved the problem [13:28] cant help you, sorry === linuxthefish is now known as linuxthefish` [13:36] kepler: You might keep an eye on /var/log/syslog [13:36] ... might give you a clue ....

[14:05] Why might I be getting "Authentication Error" messages when booting to a custom ubuntu live disk? Also Is there a way I can find out? e.g logs/diagnostics? [14:05] Fuzzles: Ask that in #ubuntu+1 thats the support channel for the development version [14:05] dch: Have you read man ulimit ? [14:06] DJones, thanks [14:06] Hello, what does GDM2 actually do? [14:07] !GDM2 | KrisB [14:07] 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. [14:08] grepping /etc for ulimit doesn't show anything else that might be setting it. I'm lost. [14:09] dch: Did you read man sysctl ? [14:09] usr13: so I need to install it so I can change settings for login screen? [14:09] KrisB: GDM is the Gnome Display Manager [14:10] KrisB: Sorry, I don't know anything about GDM2 [14:10] usr13: all I want to do is to use AutoLogin somehow. [14:11] 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] KrisB: What version of Ubuntu are you using? [14:12] lolcat: no, unless you put your known_host/authorized_keys files somewhere outsie ~/.ssh in the unecrypted part [14:12] 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] outside [14:12] 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] TakeItEZ: So I can actually not log in through ssh? And I assume su won't let me see it either? === tm is now known as Guest87473 [14:12] 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) [14:13] lolcat: you can, but you have to do some manual setup. check the forums/wiki, iirc there is some info on that [14:13] dch: Which config files? [14:14] TakeItEZ: MY problem is: I have an encrypted home folder, but hasn't got the sligthes idea what the password is... [14:14] user13: "Login without a password" under "action?" [14:14] I was told bruteforcing sha-512 crypt isn't fesable [14:15] lolcat: well, you're lost then [14:15] lolcat: but you have the passphrase you were supposed to write down right? [14:15] KrisB: Yes, under action select "Login without a password" [14:16] Lolcat, you been ehre all night? [14:16] usr13: echo * soft core 102400 >> /etc/security/limits.d/custom and the same thing with hard. [14:16] jrib: Uhm, I figured Id probably never need it [14:16] ohmagherd. expensive learning mistake. [14:16] ryansipes: thank you. another question. With CTRL + ALT + F1 clicking, I only see the command line, does it mean, that I disable GNOME or something? [14:17] dch: man limits.conf ? [14:17] Hey so I just ran update manager and got a new kernel, and it broke my video driver [14:17] a $2000 mistake :/ [14:17] using the stable AMD driver from the ubuntu driver tool, no special PPAs [14:17] 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] jrib: I haven't used this password since some time back in 2011 [14:17] MadEchidna: You can revert to the earlier kernel. Or re-install the video driver. [14:17] lolcat: it's ok, same thing happened to me once [14:18] jrib: also, at the time I liked random generated passwords [14:18] 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] lolcat: then maybe you won't be as lucky [14:18] how can I make it reinstall? [14:18] KrisB: F1 through F6 take you to different terminal sessions, but the display server is still running in the background. [14:18] MadEchidna: mv /etc/X11/xorg.conf /etc/X11/xorg.conf.bak [14:18] meh I guess this is a good opportunity to install that new beta driver [14:19] KrisB: If you hit CTRL + ALT + F7 it will take you back to your desktop, just the way you left it. [14:19] gunna get me some of this action http://news.softpedia.com/news/AMD-Claims-Up-to-300-Improvement-in-Team-Fortress-2-with-New-Driver-325128.shtml [14:19] MadEchidna: Yep [14:19] ryansipes: is there a way to run the system without desktop, if you get what I mean. [14:20] what it says at the bottom of the announcement that it requires xfree86 [14:20] that's a mistake right :P [14:20] KrisB: Yes, let me see if I can get you the instructions to boot into a session without the display server. [14:21] KrisB: http://paste.ubuntu.com/1624856/ [14:23] KrisB: And I guess from there you can do startx or startxfce4 or...? (I suppose there are several options.) [14:23] KrisB: ... that is, if you decide you wanna start a gui at some time or other. [14:24] 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] 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? [14:25] ryansipes: Thank you. [14:26] KrisB: No. You'll be editing the grub config file so that it will be a perminate change. === dirtypillows is now known as ShameSpiral [14:28] user13: and when GUI is on, like right now, is there a way to turn it off without rebooting pc? === linuxthefish` is now known as linuxthefish [14:28] KrisB: press ctrl-alt-f1,login, then "sudo service lightdm stop" [14:28] KrisB: Yes. Ctrl-Alt-Backspace [14:29] 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] KrisB: And then, when you want the GUI, just type gui and hit Enter. [14:30] startx [14:30] start lightdm [14:30] stop lightdm [14:30] KrisB: And yes, if you run lightdm, you can start and stop it as well. [14:31] How can I remove EFI from installer (USB pendrive Ubuntu 12.10)? isohybrid -offset 64 can work? [14:31] user13: so ln -s creates a link, so i don't need to type long command? [14:31] service very-user-friendly-graphical-user-interface start [14:31] KrisB: But, what I'm saying is, that you can bypass the Display Manager and just run the Desktop Enviornment if you want. (In most cases you can.) [14:31] hi all [14:31] hello nearst [14:32] KrisB: Yes, nor will you need to login. (As long is you are in the user's shell of your choice.) [14:32] KrisB: .... because youre already logged in .... [14:34] Hello, i use xubuntu 12.10 and Xchat 2.8.8, official xchat 2.8.9 is released but i don't have update alert for xchat, how to official update xchat using ubuntu packets ? [14:34] How can I remove EFI from installer (USB pendrive Ubuntu 12.10)? isohybrid -offset 64 can work? [14:34] KrisB: But, if you use lightdm, I think it will run as admin, ( iNFiNiT__ Correct me if I'm wrong). You'll prolly need to use sudo to start or stop it. [14:34] user13: you said "if you run lightdm". I am now a bit confused what the difference between lightdm and startxfce4 [14:35] KrisB: user 1 has always all admin rights and so does root [14:35] Isn't www-data the apache daemon user? I unzipped wordpress in my laptop's /var/www, and when I browsed to it I could see that the install would start. After I chowned everything from craig:craig to www-data:www-data though, I'm getting a 500 error. [14:35] KrisB: lightdm is a Display Manager. xfce is a Desktop Environment [14:35] usr13: if you start lightdm it will start as the user you are already logged in [14:36] iNFiNiT__: Not true. [14:36] usr13: what's not true [14:36] iNFiNiT__: User does not have admin rights. [14:36] iNFiNiT__: That is the job of sudo [14:36] the first user in ubuntu is always the user that haves all rights YES it's in the sudoers group [14:36] .... to afford user admin rights ... [14:37] the rest of the users are not directly in the sudoers group by default that's what i meant [14:37] usr13: i'm afk. good luck. [14:37] Do you think Canonical would give a crap if I started a project called ShipIt? [14:37] lantizia: ask them [14:37] TakeItEZ, how? [14:38] Hello, i use xubuntu 12.10 and Xchat 2.8.8, official xchat 2.8.9 is released but i don't have update alert for xchat, how to official update xchat using ubuntu packets ?

[14:40] iNFiNiT__: It is the admin group. If a user is included in the admin line in the /etc/group file, he or she will be allowed to use sudo to run all admin commands. [14:40] usr13: the sudo-group since 12.04 [14:40] afik [14:40] so anyone else here running the AMD beta driver? [14:40] TakeItEZ: Ok. Well, thanks for that. Didn't know. === Mikrop is now known as mikrocodile === archduke_ is now known as lewowpard [14:41] I installed it, and I have a watermark that says AMD Testing use only and 3d with a circle and a slash over it [14:41] i can't get unity to load and I don't think I have hardware accel [14:41] so I can't really block wine [14:42] KrisB: As far as Desktop Manager or Desktop Environment, it is your choice. As I said before, some (but not all), Desktop Environments can be run without a Desktop Manager. [14:42] what's your take on this usr13 [14:43] MadEchidna: I dono [14:43] how would I a debug log from the command line? $ program --debug debug.log? [14:43] oh well I guess I'll go back to the stable driver for now ;( === Lana is now known as Guest28571 [14:44] KrisB: So, if your DE of choice is xfce and you run startxfce4 and it starts and runs ok, just use it that way. (If there is no need for a Desktop Manager, don't use it.) [14:44] when I am build gnome , I got this error "No package 'libsystemd-login' found" , I searched for this , I found a deb file but unable to install , [14:44] can anyone help me to install libsystemd-login [14:45] usr13 : so startxfce4 starts Desktop Environment. RIght? What stops Desktop Enviroment? [14:46] KrisB: just exit the session [14:46] KrisB: Probably just Ctrl-Alt-Backspace [14:46] KrisB: Or, yea, you can click for option to Log Out or Shut-down etc. [14:46] TakeItEZ: Thanks again. [14:48] usr13: but what if I don't want to log out, just to turn off Desktop Environment with still being logged in? === tmclaugh2work is now known as tmclaugh[work]1 === Guest95739 is now known as Reedy [14:48] Isn't www-data the apache daemon user?

[14:49] KrisB: if you started "startx" it won't ask "logout", it just will "exit" into the console [14:50] KrisB: why don't you just test it and see the difference from being logged in by lightdm ( or any other DM) [14:50] TakeItEZ: Well, I think that depends on the Desktop Environment's particular options. [14:50] usr13: no [14:50] TakeItEZ: Well, maybe not. Don't know for sure. [14:50] Later I had deleted one partition with gparted, my other system does not start. ak me a grub.. How fix with a live cd? [14:50] TakeItEZ: Are you telling, or asking? "no" [14:51] TakeItEZ: I think that depends on the Desktop Environment's particular options. [14:51] histo? [14:51] usr13: at least non of the x-sessions i run in years asked me if i want logout, they all just have an "exit" option [14:52] TakeItEZ: Ok, well, he'll find out when he gets there. [14:52] TakeItEz: Yea, I've copied and pasted all you and usr13 wrote into a text file. I'll test it out. Thank you. :) [14:52] usr13 - thank you, too:) [14:53] NP [14:53] Later I had deleted one partition with gparted, my other system does not start. ask me a grub.. How fix with a live cd?

[15:12] mapg1964: Yes. [15:12] 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] os get damn stupid!!!!!!

[15:15] 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/ [15:16] johnkingerstinge: afaik you can multi boot with uefi but then you'd have to build grub2 yourself [15:16] so i just download the windows installer? [15:16] sure mapg1964 [15:16] 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] MarKsaitis: No, apt-file list samba4 shows me that samba4 puts libs in /usr/lib/x86_64-linux-gnu/samba/ . [15:17] hybirdd so what do you think i should do i disabled UEFI [15:17] MarKsaitis: Sounds like you forgot to put: --prefix=/usr when you ran ./configure. [15:17] yeah, I meant /usr before lib [15:17] should i partition the harddrive mannually or the windows installer will guide me to do that? [15:17] jpds, my samba went to /usr/local/samba which is ok [15:17] mapg1964: windows installer will take care of everything [15:17] johnkingerstinge: i wish i could tell really… I've always virtualised my stuff.

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? [16:21] when the parent dies, the child dies to, unless it is orphaned to init [16:21] KrisB: flip a coin. most of them work. I'd suggest nohup, because I use it a lot. [16:21] KrisB: every process in Linux/GNU must have a parent. [16:21] Senjai: okay - do you know any good resources to learn about processes? [16:21] Cadmus: add "root: you@example.com" into alieases [16:21] Senjai: this is why nohup, & and minimization exist. [16:22] KrisB: Yes, check out the linux system administrators guide at tldp.org [16:22] Gnea: I wanted to explain why his method didnt work, rather than giving him the answer directly [16:22] Gnea people don't learn when you just say do x to get y. [16:22] Senjai: fair enough. not everyone is looking for an answer like that, though. [16:22] 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?

[16:23] Senjai: but yes, it is nice when people actually WANT to take the time to learn it properly. [16:23] Senjai: :-) [16:23] Nach0z - and what nuhup does? [16:23] lol [16:23] Gnea: IMO if they dont, they aren't worth my time, and will eventually fall out of Linux/GNU anyway. [16:23] *nohup. [16:23] Gnea: Linux/GNU requires a 'want' to learn [16:24] KrisB: just use the ampersand, it should be fine. [16:24] KrisB: nohup isn't really required [16:25] Senjai: and what is the logic under the ampersand (how does that differ from when used without it)? [16:25] KrisB: It determins who becomes the parent of the process you're starting [16:25] KrisB: without it the parent of the process becomes the current terminal session you're using [16:25] TakeItEZ: Hmm, still doing the same thing [16:26] 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.

[17:12] GabMus, please don't use newline as punctuation. [17:12] ok [17:13] GabMus, why wouldn't you want to use mbr ? [17:13] Is there a chatroom for installing Ubuntu 12.04 on a Power Mac G5?

Which error message of many, am i looking for ? [17:13] its basicly a 404 [17:13] 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 [17:14] labsin: i am worried about the efi [17:14] sudo apt-get update gives more or less the same problem [17:14] sybariten, check the software sources [17:14] i dont know how the mac's efi would react to a mbr hd [17:15] sybariten, can you install any other packages over apt ?

You can install Ubuntu on the mbr tho [17:15] sup dudes/chickas [17:16] I'm having a weird issue - I just installed mysel-server, and I can't start it with the upstart/init - the script just hangs.

[17:18] Silvereye: the partition table. When you remove the partitions the partition table usually stayes the same. You can change it tho [17:21] Silvereye: It's called GUID.

[17:22] if it's a problem, installing ubuntu-desktop won't help [17:22] ikonia: no packages are installed ( i used a usb key) so the sources.lst was configured to work with CD i think [17:23] ikonia: there was an error during the "installing packages" process [17:23] eni: even if xubuntu is isnstalled from a usb key - the sources.list will be the same as the CD [17:23] eni: ok - so now we are getting somewhere [17:23] 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] you KNOW there is an error and you've not told us [17:23] Silvereye: Apple uses normal HDD indeed. [17:24] 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] eni: the first thing you should do if your install failed is re-install [17:24] ikonia: so i have apt-get, vi, etc already installed. [17:24] eni: as it maybe more than just X [17:24] ikonia: well i tried and got to the same error page [17:24] eni: so that should be your first point of call, try a re-install and see if the error is reproducable [17:24] eni: then at that point, note down the error and what it's complaining about [17:24] eni: then report that [17:24] eni: instead of "how do i install gnome" [17:25] ikonia: i thought my diagnose was correct [17:25] eni: what diagnoses ? [17:25] eni: you've just said "I want to install X" [17:25] eni: you've not said what packages failed ? why they failed ? [17:25] ikonia: i have no idea why they failed [17:26] ikonia: it didn't say anything [17:26] right - so documenting what failed [17:26] ikonia: it said : "ERROR IN : 'installing packages'" [17:26] eni: now you're just being lazy [17:26] you said it warned you about packages [17:26] get the full infomration, report it and lets see what can be done [17:26] but stop missing bits of info out [17:26] morph3k: There is no need to contact me outside this channel. [17:27] eni: it's likley your media is corrupt as some packaes are getting installed [17:27] but again - no information = logical guess [17:27] ikonia: ok, i'll try to re-create the USB key than [17:27] * bashar_ waves to bashar [17:27] ikonia: is there any ubuntu version with gnome and not that other dm? [17:28] what is the command line I use to update my version of ubuntu? [17:28] eni: no [17:28] eni: ubuntu is built on unity [17:28] dougl: Which versiob of Ubuntu do you have, currently? [17:29] dougl: sudo apt-get update; sudo apt-get upgrade; sudo apt-get dist-upgrade [17:29] 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 [17:30] Tex_Nick: Which works for supported target versions only. [17:30] bekks : i need to WAKE-UP ... thanks for clarifying [17:30] silvereye: he is using xubuntu - he knows what they are, he asked for GNOME, it is not evasive, it is fact. [17:31] silvereye: ubuntu is based around the unity shell - that is the gnome build ubuntu uses [17:31] the others are not gnome [17:31] dougl: So which version of Ubuntu do you have? [17:31] dougl, are you just trying to update/upgrade your packages or your kubuntu version ? [17:32] BluesKaj, upgrade my packages [17:32] dougl: Would you mind to answer my question? [17:33] bekks, sure - sorry, 12.10 kubuntu tho [17:33] ikonia: what do you suggest to make bootable usb keys for installing ubuntu? === linuxthefish` is now known as linuxthefish [17:33] eni: I don't have a trusted opinion on that, it change a lot [17:33] dougl, , then sudo apt-get update;sudo apt-get upgrade , in the console [17:34] BluesKaj, thanks [17:34] FlowRiser: i believe so.... whats a simple test? :) [17:35] dougl, , btw I meant ubuntu , not necessarily (k)ubuntu , of course [17:36] BluesKaj, I did not think it mattered - don't those commands work on both?

[17:47] well [17:47] im waiting for it to boot up [17:47] i *think* it may be this Xfce stuff [17:47] the only thing i did was install openssh [17:47] but i deleted that [17:47] ahmedipa, see answer #2 http://ubuntuforums.org/showthread.php?t=2035442 ctrl alt f2 etc [17:48] i got a little box at he bottom i can type in [17:48] but it appears not to do anything [17:49] morph3k: Deleting openssh is a very bad idea when you are trying to ssh into that box. [17:49] trism: does not work I tried last night now I use USB live ubuntu [17:49] I Just need this box to power up [17:49] I will deal with the ssh stuff later [17:49] I just dont want to lose all of my stuff [17:49] ahmedipa: then I don't know, could be any number of issues, root owned .Xauthority is just the most common [17:49] OerHeks: I have only two option to login ( guest or CD live ) [17:50] morph3k: You wont lose data, since having a backup - havent you? [17:50] ahmedipa: you would have to search through the lightdm and xorg logs to see what the issue is [17:50] I never purposely made a back up bekks [17:50] does it do it for you? [17:50] morph3k: Then you dont have a backup which implies you dont have data important enough for creating a backup. :) [17:50] first of all I login using USB live [17:51] trism: what is lightdm and xorg ??

Instead, switch to any VT by pressing Ctrl+Alt+F2" [17:54] OerHeks: do you mean after I reboot I have to switch before I select Guest to login ? [17:54] that .Xauthority file is owned by root, that is a glitch in the update. [17:54] i think its this damn [17:54] x server [17:54] xfs [17:54] morph3k: Why do you think that? [17:54] thats whats hanging it up [17:54] ahmedipa, correct [17:54] I will try [17:55] I will be back [17:55] morph3k: And did you investigate the reason yet?

If I boot into recovery mode with networking enabled, after 60 seconds or so, the desktop loads of its own accord and works perfectly. [18:20] RB2: i also have problems with any proprietary nvidia driver [18:20] 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] yacc-in, same kind of issue? [18:22] 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] hello, I just bought a new NIC eth card (TEG-PCITXR) and Ubuntu can't recognize it (lspci)... the PCI card show LINK and ACT. what should I do?

[18:23] ah [18:23] i figured out the nvidia kernel module never gets loaded but i dont know why [18:24] yacc-in, did you install the kernel headers and then do the nvidia driver install from the terminal so you can see what messages are displayed when it builds the module? === smithkm_ is now known as smithkm [18:24] hi [18:24] hmm nope, never tried that. i stupidly thought "they ghave a gui for that, and the gui even says i am using the correct driver. should be tested and working" >_> [18:25] Hello, i use xubuntu 12.10 and Xchat 2.8.8, official xchat 2.8.9 is released but i don't have update alert for xchat, how to official update xchat using ubuntu packets ?

[19:04] dell, find . -iname *.jpg -exec cp {} target \; [19:04] escott: thanks [19:05] h00k: thanks :) Sadly I didn't see anything usefull in the software I can install on ubuntu [19:05] 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 === dirtypillows is now known as ShameSpiral [19:10] 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 [19:11] 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 === timrc is now known as timrc-lunch === netsjanek is now known as netsjanek__ === netsjanek__ is now known as netsjanek === jirido is now known as Dii_Pundiih [19:15] bekks: looks like i can fix this if my damn internet willw ork [19:15] i cant use apt-get or wget [19:16] 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] morph3k: Did you check wether you have a valid IP? [19:17] yea i do [19:17] something is just preventing me from connecting [19:17] yacc-in, your mileage may vary, but it's working for me. [19:17] RB2: so.. install driver from nvidia.com reinstall nonfree drivers frm repo (terminal) and then blacklist the OS drivers? [19:17] 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] 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? [19:19] any idea bekks [19:20] morph3k: No. Not without the exact error message you get. [19:20] morph3k: have u made sure that its not a dns problem? [19:20] 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] temporarily failure resolving us.archiveubuntu.com [19:21] Some files failed to download. They have been ignored, or old ones used instead. [19:21] morph3k: So what did you do to check wether you have a valid IP and a valid nameserver? [19:21] 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] ifconfig [19:22] then i did ifconfig eth0 down and ifconfig eth0 up [19:22] hey, what software can i use to put Ubuntu on a USB drive? [19:22] ah ok so you are using the website drivers now? [19:22] PH5: unetbootin [19:22] morph3k: Why did you FIRST control, then down/up the interface? [19:22] 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] yacc-in, yes... working great [19:23] hello again [19:23] what do u mean bekks [19:23] hmm nice [19:23] or sad... :D [19:23] yacc-in, Hope it works for you if you try it... [19:23] Both! [19:23] hey, what software can i use to put Ubuntu on a USB drive? [19:23] morph3k: curl -s http://checkip.dyndns.org | sed 's/[a-zA-Z/<> :]//g' [19:23] morph3k: "ifconfig, then ifconfig ... down, then ... up". [19:23] PH5, you were already answered [19:23] 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] PH5, no need to ask the same question again [19:23] someone who knows how to do that kind of stuff should make a workin packag and create a repo for that :/ [19:23] really, oh [19:23] huttan: Which doesnt help determining having a valid IP or not. [19:24] bekks: if it returns an ip he has got one [19:24] thanks vary much [19:24] bekks: ifconfig will most likely check his local ip [19:24] PH5, even if you weren't answered, 1 minute isn't long enought to wait before asking again [19:24] huttan: And if not you cant tell anything. It is like closing your eyes and guessing why it might be dark. [19:24] huttan: And we NEED to check his local ip. [19:24] bekks, because it's nighttime? [19:25] tgm4883: Maybe. Maybe not. [19:25] because I'm blind? [19:25] hi [19:25] bekks, this isn't a very good game you came up with :/ [19:25] 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] oh RB2 hae you tried the ones from ppa:xorg-edgers/ppa ? [19:25] A question here. Anybody using XChat? I don't get thy system icon and the popup boxes. [19:25] AlecTaylor, probably looking for #ubuntu+1 [19:26] tgm4883: That channel is dead >.< [19:26] labsin, I am [19:26] 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] AlecTaylor, this isn't the chat for dev help [19:26] AlecTaylor, dev release help I mean [19:26] yacc-in, but I don't know enough about it to say whether I'm correct or not [19:26] morph3k: So which IP do you have, and whoch nameserver do you use? [19:26] AlecTaylor, you can apparently get banned for that [19:26] bahaha [19:26] yacc-in, No, I didn't try those. What version do they have? [19:26] hmm idk... [19:26] bout to try bekks [19:27] tgm4883: so, do you have a system icon? [19:27] morph3k: There is nothing to try about it - just look up the information :) [19:27] "In this page, we will help you install Nvidia driver 304.32 on Ubuntu and Linux Mint via PPA." [19:27] labsin, I'm assuming you are asking about the notification area (eg. system tray)? [19:28] yes sorry [19:28] yacc-in, ahh ok. I'm running 310.32 [19:28] labsin, no I do not === heath is now known as ybit === ybit is now known as heath [19:28] RB2 maybe it has those too [19:29] heh [19:29] dont have curl on here bekks [19:29] yacc-in, I'll check it out for a more perm. solution. For now, I'm just happy it's working. :D [19:29] morph3k: You DONT NEED curl. [19:29] woa [19:29] i have ATT [19:29] morph3k: You need the output of ifconfig and the content of /etc/resolv.conf [19:29] RB2 then i guess ill just finish this quest and try it too :D [19:30] morph3k: Even using ATT doesnt require to use curl for determining the information requested. [19:30] yacc-in, :D Nice. Let me know how you make out. [19:30] i got the ifconfig [19:30] but there is no resolv.conf in /etc [19:30] http://snapplr.com/6gzd [19:30] that is my ifconfig [19:31] morph3k: Then you dont have a nameserver configured which is why you cant access the internet. [19:31] sure :) brb ^^ [19:31] got DNS servers [19:31] and Search Domains [19:31] morph3k, are you using 12.04 or newer and network manager? [19:31] morph3k: You just said you dont. [19:31] on my mac bekks [19:31] morph3k: I dont care about your mac. [19:31] http://snapplr.com/wvw8 [19:31] its using the same ip [19:32] hmmm [19:32] 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] morph3k, are you using 12.04 or newer and network manager? [19:32] HELP! [19:32] morph3k: Then you have an IP address conflict. [19:32] im on 12.04 tgm4883 [19:32] morph3k, can you pastebin the output of 'nm-tool' [19:32] morph3k: Since when do you knwo your ubuntu has the same IP as your Mac? [19:32] 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?? [19:33] tgm4883: says failed to conenct to the socket [19:33] hold on bekks let met ry something [19:33] is there a known prop with bluetooth an 64bit randomly freezing? i don't see any reported bugs [19:33] morph3k: You have an IP address conflict - all errors are irrelevant until solving that conflict. [19:33] MarKsaitis, because it's not in the main repository [19:33] wtf is ubuntu thinking, not updating one of the most important packages on LTS distro! [19:34] MarKsaitis, it's not supported by canonical [19:34] but it is a major soft on a major LTS system [19:34] so basically ubuntu doesn't give a shit about samba 4 ? is that what it is then? [19:34] it's so wrong... [19:34] they probably have a process. [19:34] MarKsaitis, not necessarily. You might think it's a major piece of software, others may disagree [19:34] !ohmy | MarKsaitis [19:34] 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. [19:35] It surelly is, loads of users, that one big fat fact [19:35] MarKsaitis, citation needed? [19:35] because I jsut looked bekks [19:35] morph3k: Did you solve the IP address conflict yet? [19:36] morph3k, I think the "failed to connect to socket" speaks of some issues here [19:36] I dont have the statistics, but it's quite a major soft [19:36] MarKsaitis, says one guy on IRC [19:36] wait bekks [19:36] no [19:36] no its not MarKsaitis [19:36] the ip is different [19:36] tgm4883: the issue is he is having the same IP on two computers. [19:36] i have it on NAT [19:36] bekks, is that confirmed? [19:37] 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] 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 [19:38] im sorry i got confused [19:38] you can, however, update the bleeding edge packages yourself. [19:38] 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? [19:39] 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] there is 0 stability with alpha soft [19:39] MarKsaitis, it's not in MAIN [19:39] 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] I know, but it's a major soft in heterogenous networks [19:40] 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] 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] MarKsaitis, and no, it is not a major piece of software. [19:40] 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] tgm4883: fyi: You get a pannel icon and the popups when you install xchat-indicator. It doesn't install automaticly [19:41] 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] labsin, great find! I've been wanting that back [19:41] xchat-indicator is nice [19:41] lol [19:41] i had to dl the sound file to get xchat sounds though [19:42] STMelon sound file? [19:42] xchat-sounds.tar.gz [19:42] that 1 [19:42] so it beeps when you say my name .. yadda yadda [19:43] sorry, i know this isnt #xchat [19:43] how do you enable it once you've installed it? [19:44] \0/ === linuxthefish is now known as linuxthefish` [19:44] STMelon: it's in its repo and ubuntu specific... :D and the xchat irc was empty [19:44] 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] no it wasnt [19:44] pvh_sa, if you're talking about the indicator, I restarted xchat [19:44] or at least well, i didnt look in repo [19:44] pvh_sa, then something needs to happen to notify you, and it shows up in the messanging menu [19:44] Hello [19:45] I need help with partitioning. Fdisk sees them, gparted does not.. Can't have partition outside of disk. How can I fix this mess. Been reading man fdisk and my head swims. [19:45] xhcta-indicator is in repo [19:45] Man sfdisk [19:45] hmm [19:45] well [19:45] tripelb, what does "sudo parted -l" say [19:45] i cant figure out this damn ifconfig [19:45] to assign my ip to it [19:46] morph3k, why are you trying to assign your IP via ifconfig? [19:46] thats the only way i thought u could [19:46] morph3k, you are using network manager? [19:46] tripelb, also you should not be using fdisk. [19:46] idk tgm4883 [19:46] its CLI [19:46] how cani check [19:46] morph3k, ah [19:46] morph3k, is this a server? [19:46] yes [19:47] on a VM [19:47] morph3k, ah [19:47] i do my coding on it [19:47] I need some help... I need everyone willing to perform a nslookup and tell me if you get a valid response or a timeout (or refused response. nslookup -type=mx mail.mil [19:47] morph3k, so you should probably assign it in /etc/network/interfaces then [19:47] Please... Trying to determine if there are widespread issues with their nameservers or if my smarthost sucks. [19:47] labsin: 12.10 gnome classic ... my popups appear in a dialog type box that appears in main window ... what type stuff does the indicator provide ... guess i just need to install it [19:47] I'm trying to install the lvm2 package on 12.04, it throws this error: lvm2 : Depends: watershed (>= 2) but it is not installable [19:47] I could not to have got ubuntu via CD if I can it [19:47] morph3k, the ip tool is a bit easier. as in "ip addr add A.B.C.D dev eth0" stuff [19:48] MoTec, I get a valid response [19:48] tgm4883: thank you very much === dirtypillows is now known as ShameSpiral [19:48] pvh_sa, does that last threw a reboot? [19:48] how tgm4883 [19:48] im in interfaces right now [19:48] wtf do i type in here [19:49] tgm4883, no, but if you want to last through a reboot and you don't have network managers, use /etc/network/interfaces [19:49] morph3k, https://help.ubuntu.com/12.04/serverguide/network-configuration.html#ip-addressing [19:49] morph3k, see http://www.cyberciti.biz/faq/setting-up-an-network-interfaces-file/ [19:49] tgm4883, so this means that 12.04 lts is going to stay with alpha release of samba4 forever? [19:50] can anyone give me some hints on firewall builder? when i use the compiled rules, all ports become blocked, even the ones that should be open :( [19:50] is there something i should take into consideration? [19:50] sudo ifconfig eth0 10.0.0.100 netmask 255.255.255.0 [19:50] that part tgm4883 [19:50] ? [19:51] MarKsaitis, probably [19:51] MarKsaitis, unless someone does the work to backport it [19:52] 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] 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] king icecream over the window [19:53] I seen it.... is that how they make money then? but leaving some bugs in the system and just going away [19:53] MarKsaitis, they commit to supporting certain packages [19:54] MarKsaitis, samba4 isn't one of those packages [19:55] is there such a distro where samba4 would be the main package? any of the big good distros? === linuxthefish` is now known as linuxthefish [19:56] MarKsaitis, it's not in the MAIN repository, so it's not supported by canonical (samba4 is in the universe repo) [19:56] MarKsaitis, samba4 release is in debian experimental [19:56] tgm4883 [19:56] gateway=dns? [19:56] cos if not idk where my gateway is [19:56] morph3k, not always [19:56] where can i find it [19:57] morph3k, this is a small home network? [19:57] yep [19:57] morph3k, it's probably your router then [19:57] 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 [19:58] 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] it didnt change tgm4883.... [19:58] 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] 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] morph3k, you put all that info in there? [19:58] morph3k, in /etc/network/interfaces? [19:59] whatever the reasons are, I still find it ridiculous :) thank you for your atention [19:59] even so, if it is functional in the debian/ubuntu world. it still goes through a process [19:59] yes tgm4883 [19:59] then id id the ifconfig eth0 down [19:59] up [19:59] morph3k, did you restart networking or the machine? [19:59] morph3k, that isn't restarting networking [19:59] ok how do i restart the networking === Nomad__ is now known as Guest94712 [19:59] MarKsaitis, there is lots of software that doesn't get updated in an LTS, some that are far more used than Samba4 [20:00] morph3k, 'sudo /etc/init.d/networking restart' [20:00] kinda like windows, the updates dont install libreoffice 4 etc etc .. you have to manually install it yourself [20:00] here in ubuntu, you have the choice to install the upgrades as well. [20:00] but you have to do it manually [20:00] STMelon, the samba4 team hasn't even updated the samba4 PPA [20:01] anybody gotten a wallpaper to span dual monitors in 12.04? [20:01] 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 === daniel is now known as Guest56509 [20:01] i dont use samba i have it disabled anyays [20:01] blah just errors tgm4883 [20:01] i give up [20:01] STMelon, I'm wondering if it's as easy as a apt-get source samba4, grabbing the release, and building it [20:01] morph3k, what errors? [20:01] failed to open statefile /run/network/ifstate no such file or directory [20:01] prolly, or the ppa [20:01] for both ifdown and ifup [20:02] MarKsaitis, that is very much the same thing for Linux, only better (eg. more separate) [20:02] morph3k, why are you doing ifdown and ifup? [20:02] morph3k, how about you don't touch those again and just reboot the machine [20:02] well, if it is, I only want to install sogo + samba 4 + openchange = impossible mission :) not so seperate [20:02] STMelon, well there isn't a PPA for samba4 that has the release on it for 12.04 [20:03] tell MarKsaitis that, like i said i dont even have samba enabled [20:03] lol [20:03] MarKsaitis, have you tried what I suggested above? [20:03] or better yet, i dont have samba installed [20:03] i didnt [20:03] look tgm4883 [20:03] tgm4883, which sugestion? :) [20:03] 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 [20:04] MarKsaitis, doing the apt-get source, grabbing the release tarball,and seeing if it builds [20:04] http://snapplr.com/tr57 tgm4883 [20:04] i got to save a little bit of code [20:04] so === root is now known as Guest46388 [20:04] morph3k, interesting [20:04] it happens i guess [20:04] ill just reinstall [20:04] tgm4883, well, I built it from source already. samba4 is working like a charm from source [20:04] no problems whatsoever with it :) [20:05] MarKsaitis, ok, then I'm really not sure the issue then [20:05] MarKsaitis, unless you are saying it should just be available [20:05] 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] MarKsaitis, well doing what I suggested above would resolve that [20:05] 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] i have problem with backtrack 5 [20:06] MarKsaitis, as you would have the package installed [20:06] !backtrack | Guest46388 [20:06] 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] tgm4883, I dont get it :) [20:06] MarKsaitis, I mean, I'm willing to try it after lunch if you want [20:07] tell me what do you mean as I didn't quite get it [20:07] 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] MarKsaitis, then just install that deb [20:07] MarKsaitis, there might be some tweaking involved, I haven't tried doing that but it should work [20:08] You'll probably need a 'apt-get build-deps samba4' in there somewhere [20:08] my problem is firefox [20:08] Hi, I am very very new to linux/ubuntu. I am in trouble here and this is my last restort. question. How do I reformat my usb flash stick and install ubuntu on it so it auto installs? [20:08] * genii-around slides phunyguy a coffee [20:08] anybody gotten a wallpaper to span dual monitors in 12.04?

[20:09] 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] nope that usb will doit for ya :) [20:09] Accidently installed 1500 files [20:09] if u can though [20:09] getting it on a dvd is better [20:09] and guinpennep [20:09] guinpennep You can format it from the usb. [20:09] if ur REALLY new [20:09] from the usb? [20:10] u might want to look at linux mint [20:10] 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] guinpennep: what's you native language? [20:10] it has a lot better GUI [20:10] I just dropped out of college, micro soft server. [20:10] MarKsaitis, that said, I'll try it after lunch and see what happens [20:10] English [20:10] the ubuntu GUI blows now [20:10] i just use ubuntu for server [20:10] bc its got a nice solid infrastructure [20:10] but they ruined it with unity [20:10] tgm4883, thank you :) sounds very kind of you, I doubt it's gonna work but hey :) [20:10] Going to get my certification in linux, just read the begginers manual. [20:10] morph3k, unity is pretty nice [20:10] !notunity | morph3k [20:10] 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 [20:11] <- likes unity [20:11] MarKsaitis, if you stay in this channel, I'll let you know [20:11] gnome is just as bad [20:11] I'm about to head to lunch, so we'll see [20:11] morph3k: You can install cinaman in ubuntu as well. [20:11] can u put Xfce on it> [20:11] morph3k: yes [20:11] since I went with sources regarding samba4 stuff, I think I will need to source build openchange too [20:11] !xfce | morph3k [20:11] morph3k: Xubuntu is Ubuntu with Xfce as the desktop environment.

[20:11] guinpennep: go with xubuntu.org [20:11] xfce is WAY BETTER [20:11] Hey there - Installed Ubuntu on my desktop machine. I have a RAID0 with Windows on it, and an HDD for Ubuntu - The RAID0 is /dev/sda and /dev/sdb - The Ubuntu is /dev/sdc - I tried putting the GRUB Bootloader on /dev/sda, but it failed, so I chose /dev/sdc and it worked - But it doesn't seem like GRUB is the bootloader as it loads directly into Windows. Any ideas folks? :) Thanks! [20:12] oh. I ubuntu.d .com [20:12] Screw me [20:12] anybody gotten a wallpaper to span dual monitors in 12.04? [20:12] I wish I dl'd a irc client right away.

[20:23] ecks: No clue then, sorry :/ [20:23] histo: also I forgot how to look at flash drive or eject it in terminal. [20:23] bekks: For ubuntu server. Or ubuntu for that matter. I build a server tear it down or feel it too messy. I'd like to build a server with a sort of auto-install script. Maybe I should just create an image to image on computers. Just something to make the install process simpler. I always seems to forget a step or two when repeating an install [20:23] histo: my main problem is gparted can't see partitions and I must fix them. [20:23] Eax: thanks anyway. anyone else?

Thanks for the tip [20:28] StevenR: thanx :) [20:28] histo: yes there are files on the windows partition and on a dell partition. The Linux partitions 'she throws up her hands' are no matter' [20:28] Is this the right forum to ask about Ubuntu packaging issues? [20:29] daze : something about ubuntu philosophy and it usage in other countries [20:29] cnb_, you could, or also in #ubuntu-packaging [20:29] hi, is theere a way to hide unity top bar--the bar that is supposed to contain the menus? [20:29] I'll try ubuntu-packaging. I can't seem to get any takers here. [20:30] I've been stucking trying to reinstall Ubuntu for Today and Yesterday. Cannot figure out how to make this flash stick bootable and load the iso onto it. [20:30] histo: if you meant on the flash drive, yes. The window that came up when I inserted the drive showed them. After that window closed, I double click wed on something, I could not get it back. [20:30] fu [20:31] dariush: Ubuntu is said to be "Linux for human beings", meaning that it should be simple enough for your mother to use. As opposed to other GNU/Linux distributions that have a more technical aura around them. I encourage reading up about the word and it's meaning at http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Ubuntu_(operating_system), as well as the company behind Ubuntu ;) [20:32] can i even change the position of the system notifications? [20:32] histo: Works, many thanks! :) [20:32] i wouldn't even wonder if i could not... :/ === milind is now known as abyss42 === linuxthefish is now known as linuxthefish` [20:34] daze : ok , but in your country is it popular? I ask this questions because of my eng class , excuse me [20:34] not possible? to hide the top panel in ubuntu-unity? [20:34] nsahoo: the top-panel is holding all the menus from the windows, why hiding it? [20:35] iceroot: temporarily, to maximize screenspace [20:36] is there a way to make any window fullscreen? [20:36] nsahoo: have a look at "myunity" maybe it will have an option like that [20:36] dariush: It's quite popular among technical people and it's the most popular GNU/Linux distribution around. But it's nowhere near Windows or even Mac OS. There's a handy chart at http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Usage_share_of_operating_systems. I'll try to find popularity by country now.. ;] [20:37] iceroot: thanks [20:38] daze : tnx daze , and in other languge does it have support? [20:38] hi. What is the name for the info popup messages showing up at times like when network is on or of and so on? [20:39] dariush: ok, so these are a couple of dated articles - http://royal.pingdom.com/2011/05/12/the-top-20-strongholds-for-desktop-linux/ & http://royal.pingdom.com/2008/08/21/linux-popularity-across-the-globe/ . I don't see why the trend should not have continued, so those should give you a general idea on how popular Linux is (Ubuntu is around 90% of that, according to http://www.statowl.com/operating_system_market_share_by_os_subversion.php?time [20:39] frame=last_6&interval=month&chart_id=4&limit%5B%5D=Ubuntu&holder%5B%5D=linux ) [20:41] What's with all the browsers disabling Java recently? If was really about "security" they would disable javascript too. === dirtypillows is now known as ShameSpiral [20:42] daze : ;) [20:42] dariush: sorry, that last link might be misleading. I'll try to get a better one now. Also, there's recent data on OS popularity from W3Schools at http://www.w3schools.com/browsers/browsers_os.asp . It does not represent a global audience (it's meant to be a site for technical, web-related stuff), but check it out. [20:42] Apes: javascript is not a security-issue like java [20:42] Apes: and java and javascript are totally different things [20:43] iceroot: javascript has security issues, just like javascript. [20:43] replace one of those with java [20:43] Apes: javascript usually is sandboxed. java is not or can break out of sandboxes due to java bugs === ericab_away is now known as ericab [20:44] fatal error: opening dependency file .deps/jsalloc.o.pp: No such file or directory [20:44] compilation terminated. === linuxthefish` is now known as linuxthefish [20:44] daze : if i become a ubuntu user can I find good apps for app developing. Im not sure about it. [20:44] yacc-in: People find ways to break out of javascript sandboxes as well [20:45] dariush: ok, so this seems to be a good article on the topic - http://ego2dot0.wordpress.com/2010/06/08/why-ubuntu-keeps-50-of-linux-market-share/ . I imagine Ubuntu has picked up somewhat since then, so it should be in the area of 60% at least. [20:45] Apes: but you can fix your own javascript way faster than oracle can fix bugs in java [20:45] also oracle-java comes with adware >_> [20:46] which it tries to install on every software update [20:46] yacc-in: opt-in adware, but that's not a reason to ban already installed software from a browser. [20:46] and what would anyone need java for anyways [20:46] yacc-in: It has overlap with what Google is pushing javascript for. [20:46] yacc-in: Office apps and similar things [20:47] why would office apps need java? [20:47] that makes no sense at all :D [20:47] if yours do, please use better office apps :p [20:47] 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. [20:48] yacc-in: Somewhere around 50% of all internet apps are Java based. [20:48] Apes: i dont think so oO [20:48] javascript yes [20:48] but java... no way... [20:48] Apes: that is wrong [20:48] Apes: and offtopic [20:48] Apes: no way that's right [20:48] yacc-in: You're just used to userland internet apps, but corporations take up a huge chunk. And they use mostly Java. [20:49] Cisco's VPN stuff uses Java, for example [20:49] thats the same myth like most companies still use IE 5 [20:49] hello allll i buy stuff [20:49] enterprise uses Java, but it should not take 50% imho [20:49] what VPN Stuff? the config website? you dont use that... [20:49] 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] hello allll i buy stuff plz tell me i open lr cc cvv room [20:50] His to I am on phone and got disconnected here. [20:50] histo: I am on phone and got disconnected here. [20:50] hello allll i buy stuff plz tell me i open lr cc cvv room [20:50] 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] jutt: This is Ubuntu support, do you have a support question? [20:51] because java is not a tiny bit plattform independent... >_> [20:52] jutt: you are in #ubuntu please tell your setup and your problem. [20:52] 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 ...? [20:53] * yacc-in runs away scared and screaming \o/ "ahhh eclipse....." [20:54] 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] my main problem is gparted can't see partitions and I must fix this. Fdisk sees partitions. Windows sees partitions, the NTFS ones anyway.. [20:55] daze: speaking of that: how can i change the position of system notifications? or the position of the "dock"? :o [20:55] dariush: btw, Android is basically a Linux kernel with Java shell [20:55] yacc-in: if you're using Unity, you can't, sadly. Yet. [20:55] not even notifications? oO [20:55] why would i want them on the secondary screen? :( [20:56] can i please become head of QA of ubuntu? :( === ke5pcv-away is now known as ke5pcv [20:56] there's a hackish way to order application indicators, but Unity has really far to go in this area [20:56] I need to fix my partition table so I can install Ubuntu. [20:57] 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] application indicators? [20:57] dariush: Andorid is less 'open', so to speak. I await Ubuntu on phones! :) [20:58] yacc-in: http://www.webupd8.org/2011/06/how-to-change-application-indicators.html [20:58] how does ubuntu determine the partitions are windows 8 [20:58] daze: wasnt maemo truely open? where is it now? :/ [20:58] daze : ubuntu on phone???? [20:58] daze: ah, that. i dont care which order those are in, i just want the notifications on the main screen where i can see them :d [20:58] !phone | dariush [20:58] dariush: Ubuntu for phone has been announced, see http://www.ubuntu.com/devices/phone to find out more and to sign up for progress updates. Discussion is in #ubuntu-phone [20:59] is there maybe at least a way to get whats ncurrently playing in spotify as a notification? [20:59] dariush: yes, there was some announcements recently. check out http://www.ubuntu.com/devices/phone [20:59] hey people, vlc is the registered application for opening the rubbish bin (i messed it up somehow) how to change back to nautilus? [20:59] MarKsaitis, ok, so there is another reason this might not work right on 12.04 [21:00] Is it possible to install Gnome extensions from the command line? [21:00] daze : very good :) [21:00] yacc-in: maemo lacked commercial support, I suppose. Ubuntu might just have it and do something real.. [21:00] yacc-in: don't know if this wors with quantal quetzal http://www.webupd8.org/2012/06/closable-movable-notifyosd.html [21:00] tgm4883, guys from openchange claim that inverse provides beautiful repos for samba4 http://inverse.ca/ubuntu/pool/precise/s/ which are always stable and working fine for ubuntu 12.04 lts [21:00] daze: Also, two phones already announced for October [21:01] xangua: thanks, i will give it a try [21:01] yeah, we'll see when they arrive :] [21:01] so, I suppose there are no reasons for it not to work. im removing my source install and going ahead with all that stuff [21:01] daze : I dont find it, can developers sell them apps in ubuntu software center? [21:01] Hi all [21:01] can someone help me with a problem ? [21:01] we can but try [21:01] dariush: I am intend I g to install Ubuntu on the nexus 7 [21:02] !ask| Micky [21:02] Micky: Please don't ask to ask a question, simply ask the question (all on ONE line and in the channel, so that others can read and follow it easily). If anyone knows the answer they will most likely reply. :-) See also !patience [21:02] dariush: theoretically, there will be a single software center for all Ubuntu apps and those apps will work throughout the devices, be it desktop, phone or tv [21:02] MarKsaitis, sweet, so they worked out the dependency issues then [21:02] 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? [21:02] My problem is that when I try to login to Lubuntu 12.04 (after login mask) the screen goes in saving mode [21:02] hi :) [21:02] yacc-in, http://code.google.com/p/spotify-notify/ [21:02] and I'm unable to work with PC [21:02] tgm4883, I hope for the best [21:02] kostkon: thanks :) [21:02] tripelb : I have an galaxy tab 2 7.0, can I install on it? [21:02] riegersn: maybe, check out the synaptics documentation [21:02] MarKsaitis, sounds good, I'd use that one then [21:03] !synaptics | riegersn [21:03] riegersn: For a comprehensive Synaptics Touchpad guide, see https://help.ubuntu.com/community/SynapticsTouchpad [21:03] now thank you very much, im outta here [21:03] Hi. When I ruin scanimage -L as a normal user it segfaults, is anyone else experiencing this? [21:04] googling I found that I have to try with cat .xsession-errors command in order to see what is the problem [21:04] 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] VPN - I connect my wheezy to a zeroshell openvp and i can work quite good.

[21:05] 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. [21:06] Where I am? [21:06] tripelb : what do you think about it? android or ubuntu on phone? === e is now known as Guest27179 [21:06] e : here :) [21:06] 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] where& [21:07] sorry tripelb [21:07] xangua: hmm i dont seem to be able to move them from the secondary to the primary screen with that :/ [21:07] 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. [21:08] 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] 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. [21:09] daze : can u describe ubuntu in a sentence? [21:09] any vpn guru around?

Why not ask your next question (the real one) and find out? See also !details, !gq, and !poll. [21:10] 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] dariush: GNU/Linux working out-of-the-box. [21:10] daze, I'm not sure that is 100% correct. You only have to release the source code for the open source parts [21:10] daze, eg. components can still be closed source [21:11] 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] 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] 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] daze, closed source programs that use open source libraries can exist though [21:12] sda2*** [21:12] daze : great. I have a good feel about Open world know. thanks alot daze ;) here is night, good night. [21:12] 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. [21:13] dariush: good luck with your report ;) [21:13] My computer is an HP paviliong6 model 2244ca [21:13] tripelb, please don't use fdisk. please send the output of "sudo parted -l" [21:14] daze, you're saying it's only ok if the open source libraries can be removed and closed source ones replace them? [21:15] daze, I think the issue is that there is zero case law on this [21:15] chrisHPHP, have you gone into the UEFI menu and made sure that the grub boot option is included in the boot menu [21:16] hallo [21:16] 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] is anyone here good on xbmc [21:16] ciao [21:16] ciao a tutti raga [21:16] im trying to install bbc iplayer on xbmc [21:16] tgm4883, or if you dont know where that line is (and truth is nobody really knows where the line is) [21:16] ho appena installato linux [21:17] i went in there at one point, i'm not sure if it is, My computer will only boot the live cd like 1 out of 25 tries for some horrible reason [21:17] i should check i guess [21:17] !it | gregory [21:17] 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] 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] thanks [21:19] 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] if you compile them inside your code, the code is "infected" :) [21:20] daze, ah, it was confusing then [21:20] 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] and you're right about there being no precedent [21:20] 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] yeah, I should maybe have been clearer in separating GPL-licensed tools and GPL-licensed code [21:21] tgm4883, usually not any more than typing a novel in MS Word means that MSFT owns the copyright on the novel [21:22] escott, right, and that is what I was disagreeing with [21:22] escott, daze seems I just misunderstood what daze was saying === ARIN is now known as networker [21:23] this is probably the best answer for all of that http://www.gnu.org/licenses/gpl-faq.html#NFUseGPLPlugins [21:25] yeah, that 'borderline case' is what I called a 'gray area' :] [21:26] I think we're all on the same page here. [21:26] on the other topic, do you guys got used to the overlay scrollbars? I just changed them back to normal and feel stuborn.. [21:27] but I really had trouble scrolling them with the mouse. And classic scrollbars are much better for that. [21:27] HI, .pl files are downloading instead of opening via mozilla, while on chrome that is opening as text. HElp please, I Installed sql-ledger on my ubuntu-server. [21:28] Where is the best place to get help with a packaging problem? I've asked repeatedly on here and on #ubuntu-packaging, and gotten no help whatsoever. [21:28] cnb_, what is the packaging problem? [21:29] is anyone here good on xbmc [21:29] sarthor: configure a handler to handle .pl files in apache config [21:29] im trying to install bbc iplayer on xbmc [21:30] escott: OK will do that when I return. I am called IRL. ATM thanks. (From my phone, no home internet, sigh) [21:30] I installed Munin on 12.10 from the repo. It appears to be misconfigured. The Munin mailing list insists that's a packaging problem, and I need to take it up with the packagers. Specifically, "If you want to use Ubuntu, then you need to be willing to tolerate their (seeming) lack of QA." [21:30] ok nevermind [21:30] cnb_, you would need to file a bug then [21:31] Where? How? [21:31] cnb_, https://bugs.launchpad.net/ubuntu/+source/munin/+filebug [21:32] daze: I am not expert. Can you give some clue please. [21:34] 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" [21:35] can smbd pls help me now? [21:35] tgm4883, page 9 http://www.sogo.nu/files/docs/SOGo%20Native%20Microsoft%20Outlook%20Configuration.pdf can I use these backports on my ubuntu 12.04 lts? [21:35] 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 [21:36] MarKsaitis, IDK [21:36] :( what a shame, I feel like disabled, can't even follow some guides on my own :D === dirtypillows is now known as ShameSpiral [21:37] MarKsaitis, I'm assuming you're talking about the debian-backports? [21:37] sarthor: furthermore, this is really more of a question for #httpd :) [21:37] 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] very very confusing as hell [21:37] I just can't get over it [21:37] MarKsaitis, "Debian Squeeze ships an older version of some libraries required by Samba 4. In order to [21:37] workaround this, users of this distribution will have to use the “squeeze-backports” repository" [21:38] MarKsaitis, that seems pretty clear to me [21:38] tgm4883: never mix different distribution repositories [21:39] well, it implies that it is not needed for ubuntu 12.04 lts? [21:39] MarKsaitis, exactly [21:39] wonderful :) [21:39] I am skipping this one then [21:39] ThinkT510, While that is a good rule of thumb, that isn't what I said and not what we are discussing [21:39] Okay, I reported it. I suppose I'm SOL until it's reviewed and/or addressed? [21:40] cnb_, depends on what is misconfigured [21:40] cnb_, link to bug report? [21:40] but guess what, for example smbclient is in 3.6 version.... whereas it should be 4!!! [21:40] https://bugs.launchpad.net/ubuntu/+source/munin/+bug/1119792 [21:40] Ubuntu bug 1119792 in munin (Ubuntu) "Munin does not generate the correct URL in munin-cgi-html" [Undecided,New] [21:40] lol [21:41] which I guess means that i do need these backports on ubuntu 12.04 lts [21:41] tgm4883, [21:41] MarKsaitis, I thought you said there was a repo with 4 in it [21:41] ys, but there isn't smbclient package in there :))))) [21:42] MarKsaitis, did you enable the repo at http://inverse.ca/ubuntu/pool/precise/s/ [21:42] tgm4883, sure :) [21:42] I did apt-cache show smbclient and it said 3.6 [21:42] daze: that sql-ledger-httpd.conf is like this [21:42] Alias /sql-ledger/ /usr/share/sql-ledger/ [21:42] [21:42] AddHandler cgi-script .pl [21:42] Options ExecCGI Includes FollowSymlinks [21:42] [21:42] sarthor: Please don't flood; use http://paste.ubuntu.com to paste; don't use Enter as punctuation.

[22:01] anyway i cant find the guide to manually partition the free space in the install [22:01] chrishphp, because it surely couldn't be that AMD just makes terrible linux drivers [22:02] I was not so aware, what would you suggest I try ? [22:02] 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 [22:03] chrishphp, probably starting with A) what video card you have, and B) how you installed the drivers [22:03] what exactly is an OEM Partition for?

[22:05] i think when i shrink the volume, i can do it manually [22:05] dydzEz2, hmm, seems odd to me [22:05] datsmoida, no [22:05] so im looking for "the" guide [22:05] datsmoida: cat /proc/cpuinfo [22:05] or is there some other command to see how much capacity i have in cpu [22:05] datsmoida: or lscpu === jack is now known as heather [22:05] AMD Radeon HD 7420G Discrete-Class Graphics > i've just installed ubuntu just now, and things are glitchy, havn't done anything else [22:05] i c === heather is now known as wNz [22:05] chrishphp, so you aren't using the proprietary drivers then? [22:05] CPU MHz: 2133.408 [22:05] they are downloading as we speak, that should help? [22:05] so there is no command to see how much of my processor is being used atm ? [22:06] 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] which usually means missing 32-bit libraries.. [22:06] chrishphp, and how are you downloading them? [22:06] datsmoida: the current usage is the "load" shown up in "top" or "uptime" [22:06] using the additional drivers app [22:06] datsmoida: a load of 1 means 1 core is used 100% [22:06] purezen, did you install the 32-bit libraries? [22:06] datsmoida: a load of 3 means 3 cores are at 100%, or one core is at 100% [22:06] btw iftop is an awesome program ! ! [22:06] purezen, ia32-libs doesn't exist anymore [22:07] tgm4883: yes.. [22:07] tgm4883: but I just installed..:0 [22:07] hey i need help i installed e17 but it sends me back to login screen when i try to open it [22:07] tgm4883: am a newbie to this development porcess though..:) [22:07] so load average 0.05 means i am using half a core ? [22:07] they have installed, I require a restart I think, [22:08] datsmoida htop [22:08] purezen, oh, hmm, I guess it does still exist [22:08] if your load average is 1 you are using one core (or thread) 100% [22:08] purezen, probably need to do a apt-get install :i386 if you need the 32-bit library for soemthing [22:08] my load average is always .4 or .5 [22:08] i think 1/2 core is all i have [22:08] not possible [22:09] grep 'model name' /proc/cpuinfo | wc -l [22:09] i was told to add ram on this vps but i am hitting some other performance wall [22:09] tgm4883: you mean.. something like.. '.. install ia32-libs:i386'..? [22:09] issue the above command to see how many cores/threads you have [22:10] purezen, no, I mean figure out what library you need, then install the 32-bit version of it [22:10] away - CPU (0.6 GHz) 1 [22:10] that is my current processor supposedly [22:10] datsmoida, then everything below 1 is good [22:10] you might wanna read http://blog.scoutapp.com/articles/2009/07/31/understanding-load-averages [22:10] this is very bad news [22:11] i have repeatedly added ram to this machine [22:11] datsmoida: And? [22:11] does not look like cpu is overtaxed [22:11] bandwidth is not being nearly met [22:11] yea proprietary drivers are installed through addition drivers app, and it's still glitchy [22:11] and yet i am failing to be able to run more programs and the machine literally freezes [22:11] * tgm4883 wonders what glitchy means [22:12] datsmoida, maybe your CPU usage/disk i/o/RAM usage likes to spike [22:12] can you say that another way [22:12] datsmoida: Then you have to investigate the problem (stop every program NOT vital for investigation), and investigate whats going on. [22:12] Hi, Does anybody know how should I change this command to get the result? [22:12] find . -iname *.txt -execdir cp '{}' ~/Documents/target [22:12] that is what i am doing [22:12] hard to explain, like.. when I move windows around, little lines spike up and disappear , foldy kind of glitchy looking things [22:12] maybe you have some process that doesn't use a constant amount of RAM/CPU [22:12] i have no other programs running [22:12] dell: What doy ou want to achieve? [22:12] i am able to run exactly 13 instances of my program [22:12] the menu's flicker when i scroll through them and stuff [22:13] datsmoida, what does $ ulimit say [22:13] bekks: I want to find and copy every jpg file [22:13] datsmoida: Then run _1_ instance, and check whats going on. Add one more instance, check again, etc. [22:13] This command return an error [22:13] dell: find . -type f -iname "*.jpg" -exec cp {} /your/target/directory/ \; [22:14] i did that till i got to 13 [22:14] bekks: let me check that [22:14] regardless what i do that is the limit [22:14] would running 32 bit be more stable or better for my model of AMD [22:14] this channel is slightly maddening [22:14] then programs start to crap out, ultimately machine freezes [22:15] datsmoida: WHAT did you check in detail? CPU load, memory consumption, I/O statistics, I/O bandwidth, network charateristics? [22:15] i checked network usage with ntop [22:15] no [22:15] with iftop [22:15] datsmoida: So why did you add RAM when just checking network usage? :) [22:15] ulimit says unlimited [22:16] dunno what that means [22:16] 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] chrishphp_, I don't see why it would [22:16] before i could run 4-5 programs, now i can run 13 [22:16] but that was after i doubled or tripled the ram [22:16] datsmoida: Then check the other points mentioned. [22:16] now i have 5 units of ram, they are all visible in top [22:16] but my upper limit does not increase [22:17] okay, maybe I should try 12.04 instead of 12.10 [22:17] so it is something beyond RAM [22:17] and this guy is off the clock right now [22:17] 5 units of ram? [22:17] datsmoida: how much ram? [22:17] chrishphp_, possibly. I run 12.10 on my dell laptop with a HD7500M/7600M family graphics card [22:17] chrishphp_, works semi fine [22:17] datsmoida: RAM is measured in Bytes - how much MB/GB RAM do you have? [22:18] bekks: How can I restrict it to find just in the current directory? [22:18] man find? [22:18] dell: In the current directory, you just need: copy *.jpg /your/target/ [22:18] dell: -maxdepth 0 [22:18] 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] how much ram = 5 x256 [22:19] chrishphp_, rm windows8 ;) [22:19] datsmoida: So how much is it? :) [22:19] datsmoida, what does free -m show? [22:19] getting same performance as with 3x256 [22:19] so now adding RAM does nothing [22:19] datsmoida: You didnt even measured performance, but just the number of instances. [22:19] datsmoida: why should the performance always increase when you put in more ram? [22:19] datsmoida: So check the other parameters mentioned. [22:19] 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] total used free shared buffers cached [22:19] Mem: 1495 1441 54 0 2 18 [22:19] -/+ buffers/cache: 1420 75 [22:19] Swap: 1023 679 344 [22:19] datsmoida: a machine with 8gb ram will be as fast like a machine with 16gb ram if the ram is not the bottleneck [22:19] i mean Boot repair" [22:20] k, you have 1.5GB RAM... should be enough [22:20] datsmoida: and you are out of ram [22:20] datsmoida: You have at least 6 "units" of RAM, not 5 :) [22:20] yep, only 75mb free [22:20] and swapping [22:20] Swapping hard. :) [22:20] Thanks all [22:20] bekks - performance is easy to measure in the sense that the programs die on failure [22:21] datsmoida: you only have 75mb free ram [22:21] perhaps you should figure out why your scripts are using so much ram? [22:21] datsmoida, you should get more RAM [22:21] i can only keep 13 alive at one time, if i add more the first ones start to get killed [22:21] datsmoida: Thats the most pointless definition of measuring something I [22:21] 've ever heard. [22:21] away, I'd argue he has -600MB ram [22:21] i have no idea why performance should increase with RAM just blindly following advice [22:21] tgm4883 , what do you mean rm 8 ? [22:21] tgm swap can't be used for everything [22:22] chrishphp_, it was a joke? as in rm (remove) windows 8 [22:22] tgm4883 he's jokingly wanting you to remove windows 8 [22:22] so i am still out of ram ? [22:22] datsmoida: Yes you are. [22:22] datsmoida: you only have 75mb ram free [22:22] away, I'm saying he needs more ram as it's swapping [22:22] datsmoida: which is not very much [22:22] At least 512M more would be a good deal. [22:22] so why is it that my performance does not improve as i have added the last 512K ram ? [22:22] away, as in, he is currently 600MB in the hole [22:22] lol, 512K [22:22] datsmoida: because you are still out of ram as we said 5 times now [22:23] datsmoida, you need to add another 3 units [22:23] datsmoida: the system will start to use swap (stored on the hdd and 1000 times slower then ram) [22:23] 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] iceroot - my point is that my performance was the same with 512k than it is now with 1280k [22:24] datsmoida: and 1000 times slower is just the description for the access-time of the data, not the data-transer [22:24] so adding 768K so far of RAM has done nothing to increase performance, why ? [22:24] datsmoida: again and for the 6. time, you are out of ram === DarkAce-Z is now known as DarkAceZ [22:24] if i am "swapping hard" now, imagine how hard i was swapping at 512K ! [22:24] 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] cant get wireless working, glitchy, cant boot win8, [22:24] datsmoida, exactly! === edge is now known as Guest28435 [22:25] but why did the performance not improve ? [22:25] datsmoida: reread what we all wrote [22:25] <|nv|s|b|e> b e c a u s e your swapping [22:25] i mean from my perspective the computer is crapping out at exactly the same benchmark it did before, at over twice as much RAM [22:25] datsmoida: you are STILL!!!!!!!!!! out of ram!!!!!!!!! [22:25] datsmoida, why would it, you are still using a hard disk as RAM [22:25] isn't that a bit weird ? [22:25] <|nv|s|b|e> troll time [22:25] datsmoida, no [22:25] datsmoida: you are still using swap [22:26] datsmoida, you probably need to understand the difference between RAM and SWAP [22:26] join #ubuntu-server [22:26] datsmoida, you need even more ram than you have right now [22:26] Hi guys, I'm new to IRC, what command do I type to get to the ubuntu-server channel? [22:26] <|nv|s|b|e> you need no less than 2 gig to even think about running smooth [22:26] datsmoida, you needed more ram, and you added some, but not enough [22:26] ianrossi: /join #ubuntu-server [22:26] <_DomY-Dom> Hi, anyway of transferring the wireless drivers I need for my Macbook Pro 8,1 (https://help.ubuntu.com/community/MacBookPro8-2/Quantal#Wireless) without an ethernet connection cause I don't have one at the moment.

Alternatively, try http://ubottu.com/ljl/apt/ - See also !APTonCD [22:28] ok so i guess you guys are saying there is a point for this OS where it says i am out of RAM and i need an arbitrarily large amount more to to ANYTHING ELSE, and that amount could be more than double the amount it had in the first place ? [22:28] datsmoida, close [22:28] datsmoida, that, except not arbitrarily [22:28] datsmoida: reread everything we told you [22:28] 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] weŕe just stating facts [22:28] datsmoida: Yes. [22:28] datsmoida: You had 512_M_ not 512_k_ [22:28] datsmoida, it could be 100X more than you originally had, depending on the software [22:29] 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] _DomY-Dom: I am only a bot, please don't think I'm intelligent :) [22:30] <_DomY-Dom> iceroot: Any idea concerning my question to ubottu ? [22:30] 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] datsmoida, eg. you need 700MB more ram [22:31] so you are literally looking at home much swap is used = i need that much ram + [22:31] tgm4883: 700? Why? :) [22:31] 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] bekks, didn't it say it was swapping 680MB? [22:31] 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 ? [22:32] Swap: 1023 679 344 [22:32] tgm4883: Oh, indeed. I was remembering a wrong number :) [22:32] tgm4883 - yeah i am trying to actually formulize how much hardware i need for so many additional instances [22:32] datsmoida, yes, that is exactly what we are saying [22:32] but as you can see i am still working out the foundations here [22:32] datsmoida: You need about 700M more RAM for running your 13 instances. [22:32] 100x lol come on [22:33] 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] _DomY-Dom: there you can download the debfiles [22:34] _DomY-Dom: install them with "sudo dpkg -i file.deb" [22:34] 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 ?

I have no idea what you want to do. [23:00] histo - i want to see accurately how hard is my RAM being hit and how much RAM i need to add to stop using SWAP [23:00] datsmoida: You were mentioning swap being to large or something. [23:00] anyone know how to remove fbi moneypak virus from my pc? in windows [23:00] datsmoida: is your ram completely used up? or is swap being used to just cache stuff? [23:00] datsmoida: why do you want to stop using swap¿ [23:00] datsmoida: You can adjust your swappiness [23:01] histo, how can you do that? [23:01] well these guys on here told me my swap was too large [23:01] histo - b/c my machine is crapping out [23:01] datsmoida: How large is your swap partition? [23:01] i was told to add ram [23:01] i added ram [23:01] i got more performance [23:01] but not after a certain point of adding ram [23:01] datsmoida: How much ram do you have? === JoFo_ is now known as JoFo [23:02] then i pasted the output of top and free -m and these people here were saying oh the problem is that you are now hitting ram so hard that even though you more than doubled your ram you will have to do it again [23:02] b/c your machine is using so much swap [23:02] so i just want to clarify exactly which commands give me this info [23:03] datsmoida: please pastebin the output of free [23:03] histo - i have 256x5 [23:03] 1280 [23:03] when i had 256 ram i could run 5 instances of my script [23:03] datsmoida: 256 what? MB ??? so a total of 1.256GB of ram? [23:03] when i had 768 ram i could run 13 instances [23:04] what? still the same? [23:04] now i have 1280 but still after 13 instances programs start to die and then if i continue trying to add instances the machine freezes [23:04] i was looking a complete stromberg episode and we are still talking about the ram-issue? [23:04] Just gave up 18 years of windows experience for good [23:04] datsmoida: Do you have swap configured then? [23:05] 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] it was unrelated to the size of my swap partition [23:05] datsmoida: Right once ram is full swap should be used so the system doesn't crash. [23:05] datsmoida: What is this script? [23:05] swap is double of ram, linux.org says, right? [23:06] 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] guinpennep: no [23:06] Oh, boot is double ram, then double swap? [23:06] guinpennep, that is an old rule of thumb [23:06] let me check, sorry. [23:06] http://paste.ubuntu.com/1627028/ [23:06] guinpennep: You can make it any size you want [23:07] Ok, see. I just gave up 18 years of windows experience. [23:07] 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 - this script sends queries through TOR [23:07] Ok, makes sense. [23:07] Been using ubuntu 12.10 for 2 days. I love it. [23:07] datsmoida: And you need to run more of these scripts? [23:07] guinpennep, when you had little ram, you had to have plenty of swap [23:07] i am able to start many tor processes but my scripts to access TOR crap out unable to connect to socket after 13 [23:08] right now I am having a problem. Are there any win 7-8/ubuntu 12.10 experienced users availible? [23:08] guinpennep: if you want to hibernate swap needs to be bigger than ram. The old rule of thumb was swap is 2x ram. But you can make a swap partition any size depending on you rneeds or not even use one.

[23:14] histo: can I pick your brain? I installed ubuntu with two partitions, / and /home. It has come to my attention that someday, I might reach a size limit. I figure that applications are primarily stored in /, I was wondering, Is it easy to expand my / and /home partitions? Do these partitions have to be physically continuous on the drive? I have placed them on the end of my drive, with unpartitioned space buffering the linux and windows parti [23:14] tions [23:14] guinpennep: What unallocated partition? [23:14] guinpennep, unallocated partition? bad scripts running? can you elaborate? [23:14] histo: no, lol, but i think i was there for that conversation. he had an external hard drive or something, 120gb [23:14] gilb: virtualbox and vmware are able to use the real GPU of the host but imo only on opengl, there are a lot applications which are running like native but not all [23:15] gilb: so they are not emulating the gpu, they are using passthrough [23:15] histo: No, i'm the n00b to ubuntu that you so generously helped so many times now. My latest problem was with thunar, the network wasn't showing up :) [23:15] !lvm | BillyZane [23:15] BillyZane: Tips and tricks for RAID and LVM can be found on https://help.ubuntu.com/community/Installation/SoftwareRAID and http://www.tldp.org/HOWTO/LVM-HOWTO - For software RAID, see https://help.ubuntu.com/community/FakeRaidHowto [23:15] BillyZane: You can resize them with gparted. However keep in mind it's not bulletproof. I would back up mition critical data just incase but it will mostlikely work fine. [23:15] gilb: but i would recommend dualboot [23:15] janisozaur: thanks, i'll give it a look [23:15] BillyZane: and LVM would be the way to go. You could add other disks to the space etc... [23:15] iceroot: you can use guest additions for directx on virtualbox but it is still very slow [23:15] can I install LVM now? [23:16] is it too late to have an LVM? [23:16] BillyZane, you can only have 4 primary partitions with MBR [23:16] 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] flintser: i thought it was just opengl [23:16] janisozaur: on msdos paritioning. [23:16] So, I followed the instructions on the ubuntu help site, and I got the nvidia-current drivers installed, all seemed well, but now the ubuntu desktop isn't starting up properly. the dock and top bar aren't showing up after you log in. is there any way to fix this? [23:16] GPT I think is limited to 128 partitions [23:17] 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] my comp is getting very buggy. [23:17] histo, what do you mean? [23:17] 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] Is it possible I can screw up the partitions so I cannot reinstall ubuntu 12.10? [23:17] tgm4883 - i did that, it just shows all the instances of my script [23:18] iceroot: yep it normally is but if you install guest additions in safe mode you get to choose directx [23:18] 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] janisozaur: a GUID partition table. vs. msdos partition table. [23:18] datsmoida, can you pastebin the output? [23:18] there's 13 instances running [23:18] BillyZane: Yeah it will [23:18] wow, epic [23:18] but nevertheless no vm is really for gaming, ive done enough testing to say that [23:18] 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] 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. [23:19] tgm4883 - it just shows the command that was called and the pid, nothing else, 13 lines [23:19] histo, hmm, ok. i've always called it 'mbr' [23:19] flintser: ah ok, thank you for the info [23:19] 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] datsmoida, it doesn't list a number? [23:19] perl [23:19] BillyZane, what filesystem do you have on / and /home? [23:19] lol [23:19] yeah the process id [23:19] janisozaur, ext4 [23:20] 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. My laptop is http://www.samsung.com/us/computer/laptops/NP300E5C-A09US? [23:20] datsmoida, can you pastebin it [23:20] Hello. I've been seeing 'migration' (process name) in 'top' using a lot of CPU at times. (600%) What is it and why is it using that much? [23:20] d0wan: your laptop is broken [23:20] d0wan: let me search for the linl [23:20] tgm4883 - i think u meant some other flags than ps -eo rss,cmd | grep [23:20] I can't go back to windows now. Windows feels so incredibly empty, like an empty cup [23:20] link [23:20] there is no info here [23:20] dang [23:20] iceroot, how so? as in, it's fried? [23:20] datsmoida, that first number shouldn't be the process ID [23:20] oh wait a minute [23:20] it was working perfectly before ubuntu was on it. that's a big disappointment. [23:20] right [23:20] 1 sec [23:20] d0wan: http://www.h-online.com/open/news/item/Booting-Linux-using-UEFI-can-brick-Samsung-laptops-1793958.html [23:21] I am going to break this laptop. [23:21] iceroot, thanks a ton. [23:21] d0wan: i think you "bricked" your device [23:21] Over my tv. [23:21] :) [23:21] Wonderful. Sigh. Thanks for the link iceroot, I appreciate it [23:21] i hate uefi [23:21] d0wan: its a fault of samsung and there uefi implementation, they will give you a new notebook (read the link) [23:21] no need for that [23:22] I managed to get a lot of help in removing my uefi and installing ubuntu.. === gustav_ is now known as gustav__ [23:22] 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] way to prevent the issue from happening in the first place? [23:22] Now that I lost my win 8 fine, I am wishing I had it back right now. [23:22] real quick queston on virtualbox: does anyone know how to increase the size of a dynamically allocated VDI? [23:22] going to go try windows again/ [23:23] wiz: #vbox [23:23] thank you iceroot [23:23] again, iceroot, much appreciated. Thanks! [23:23] Ubuntu: Am I correct in saying that by default there is no SIP support in ver. 12, such as could be in empathy? [23:23] http://paste.ubuntu.com/1627069/ [23:23] d0wan: you are welcome [23:23] al__, 'apt-get install -d' [23:23] brb [23:23] brightknight: there are sip clients [23:23] tgm4883 - is this showing me that each proc is using some magnitudinally larger amount of memory ? === Rarity is now known as Guest86444 [23:23] brightknight: justr search for sip in the software center [23:23] !sip | brightknight [23:24] brightknight: ekiga is an Internet telephony application included with Ubuntu, which supports the SIP and H323 protocols. Information and help at https://help.ubuntu.com/community/Ekiga [23:24] iceroot: will do, so the answer is no then correct? [23:24] datsmoida, yea [23:24] al__, you can also google for 'apt hold selections' === Guest86444 is now known as TheRainbowDusk [23:24] al__: you can use usb stick to transfer packages, just use apt-get install -d on another machine and put them on usb stick [23:24] wow thanks [23:24] wtf [23:24] !enter | datsmoida [23:24] datsmoida: Please try to keep your questions/responses on one line. Don't use the "Enter" key as punctuation! [23:24] flintser: there is no other machine [23:25] 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] datsmoida: and when you write a script which needs 100mb ram, normally your script is very bad [23:25] well i dont know the de [23:26] is possible to route a single program's traffic through the VPN in ubuntu 12.04? [23:26] janisozaur: apt-get install -d will include all dependencies? [23:26] al__, consult 'man apt-get', it will run in download-only mode, but with all depenendecies resolved [23:27] upgraded 12.04->12.10, can't find any way into a tty console (no key combo works) [23:27] 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] datsmoida, that is in kilobytes [23:27] Anyperson: Hmm, what happened to twinkle??? [23:27] datsmoida, so the bottom one is using 150MB [23:27] 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) [23:28] 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] 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 [23:29] 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 [23:30] datsmoida, so you either A) need more ram, or B) need to figure out what is happening in that script [23:30] datsmoida, for reference "RSS resident set size, the non-swapped physical memory that a task has used (in kiloBytes)." [23:30] this is a very productive chat session ! [23:30] al__: and like janisozaur said you can prevent updates with hold [23:30] my sucky scripting didn't matter so much when i wasn't scaling up like this [23:30] al__: http://askubuntu.com/questions/18654/how-to-prevent-updating-of-a-specific-packagehttp://askubuntu.com/questions/18654/how-to-prevent-updating-of-a-specific-package [23:31] http://askubuntu.com/questions/18654/how-to-prevent-updating-of-a-specific-package [23:31] however i'm thinking this gargantuan rise in processing has something to do specifically with forking processes in perl [23:31] datsmoida, exactly [23:31] 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] you are right it doesn't grow at first [23:31] but if the script is ineffecient why does it not blow up before #5 ? [23:32] al__, best guess, you need to recompile the kernel modules when a kernel update comes down [23:32] it is also interesting that 5 was the limit on a minimal RAM (256) [23:32] datsmoida, IDK. like I said, it's probably waiting on some other resource [23:32] * tgm4883 shrugs [23:32] tgm4883: I'm novice enough I only barely know what that means. [23:33] >nomodeset [23:33] !google>nomoeset [23:33] al__, did you follow some guide to get wireless working? [23:33] tgm4883 - can you say anything else about what waiting on another resource means [23:33] !google>nomodeset [23:33] nomodeset, please see my private message [23:34] just waiting on a friend [23:34] tgm4883: it worked on stock 12.10 install (checking the box for proprietary drivers). On auto-update though, it dies. I've found a lot of posts relating to the problem, with a lot of different ... varied solutions. [23:34] this makes no sense actually [23:34] it is not a progression whatsoever === TheRainbowDusk is now known as TheRainbowDawn [23:35] the first 5 processes each use about 1/5 of what each of the last 7 processes use [23:35] lol [23:35] al__, IDK what it's installing during that time, but I bet a reinstall of it would fix it [23:36] al__, the package that is, not the OS :) [23:36] 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 [23:36] tgm4883: and now I'm afraid to update :) [23:36] al__: youre running non updatet 12.10 now? [23:37] It seems my screenshot utility doesn't work.. again. Neither does ffmpeg when using x11grab [23:37] flintser: if I update, internet permanently dies ... [23:37] al__, what wireless card? [23:38] 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] tgm4883: Broadcom 4312 (Dell Inspiron stock card). [23:39] Anyperson: Hmm, what happened to twinkle? [23:39] al__, looks like b43-fwcutter firmware-b43-lpphy-installer bcmwl* [23:39] one of those likely does the building [23:40] al__, I'm guessing it's b43-fwcutter [23:41] 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] 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] al__, maybe you could just do a 'dpkg-reconfigure b43-fwcutter' [23:41] does anyone know what could be blocking port 22 on ubuntu? [23:41] i cant ssh into it [23:41] al__, you couldn't do the apt-get install -d on it, as it would say they are already installed [23:42] morph3k: did you install openssh-server? [23:42] yea [23:42] and client [23:42] al__: tgm4883: after some googling i'd hold anything b43, or bcmwl packages and try úpdating then [23:42] morph3k: what happens when you do "ssh localhost" on the server? [23:42] cant right now im updating [23:42] flintser, you would need to hold the kernel, not those packages [23:43] morph3k: open a new terminal? [23:43] Any reason why the screenshot tool would give me the same image across several screenshots? [23:43] actually it seems the scripts all take about 150MB of RAM each [23:43] bcmwl-kernel-source? tgm4883 [23:43] hi hi [23:43] unless they are disconnected [23:43] flintser, no, linux-image-generic [23:43] actually no [23:45] tgm4883: sorry to ask but why would the linux kernel affect wifi :s [23:46] flintser, because the wifi modules are built against the kernel headers [23:46] Anyone here familiar with CentrifyDC express? [23:46] so when you change the kernel, the modules don't load [23:47] flintser, and don't be sorry to ask. People sorry to ask something will always wonder why something is. People that do ask will find out why :) [23:47] tgm4883: aaa ok :) that clarified it for me, thanks. cant it be solved with some reconfiguring then? [23:48] flintser, yes, I think it will be, but you have to reconfigure the right package [23:48] flintser, I'm guessing the fw cutter package [23:51] tgm4883: okay. i'm so lazy i just wouldnt bother updating anything if i knew that itd cause problems ^^ [23:51] hi all - can anyone tell me whether its possible to get a percentage estimate using disk utility for how far through a format is? or, better yet, cancel the format? [23:52] flintser, well it shouldn't cause problems. it should fix that for you on upgrade. I'm not sure why it isn't [23:53] how do i uninstall unity? [23:53] tgm4883 [23:53] i wish ud download this shit [23:53] openssh [23:53] lol [23:53] morph3k, what? [23:53] and just look at the hep files [23:53] help me figure it out :( [23:54] actually while im here... what should i do after i messed up my networking on 12.04? i used pppoeconf for a connection and after i didn't need it anymore no networking applet so i cant use wifi networks and i have to manually conf my wired connection [23:54] i mean after pppoeconf my networking got messed up === tallbread is now known as spronk [23:56] !nounity | BillyZane [23:56] or install any other desktop you want [23:56] BillyZane: 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?
