It doesn't seem like anyone made a comparison (it orginally comes with win 7 Starter Edition), but it should be faster, right? [01:30] you guys...... my big crisis... it was a USB drive plugged in. LOL [01:30] justakill: The Xorg log file clearly says "Failed to initialize the NVIDIA kernel module.

[02:09] <_DomY-Dom> Anyone have a nice config which they are willing to share ? [02:09] ulkesh: screen may be useful for ssh sessions but I want several terminals displaying on my desktop simultaneously instead of using keybindings to cycle them [02:09] brightknight: you can still do that [02:09] brightknight: well...maybe [02:10] brightknight: i haven't tried that specifically, but i see what you mean...i'll give it a try shortly === ev1luti0n is now known as Xanny [02:11] ulkesh: help is always appreciated [02:11] ola [02:11] brightknight: screen -x may be what you'd use [02:12] alguem do brasil ai ? [02:12] oi [02:12] !info terminator [02:12] terminator (source: terminator): multiple GNOME terminals in one window. In component universe, is optional. Version 0.96-0ubuntu1 (quantal), package size 256 kB, installed size 1775 kB [02:13] brightknight: yeah that's exactly it...start a screen session...then open as many terminal windows as you want...then in all of them do screen -x then do ctrl+a c to create a new terminal and ctrl+a n to cycle [02:13] brightknight: hopefully you'll see what i mean by trying it out [02:14] screen and tmux can show several terminals at rhe same time also. but for x. terminator is handy [02:15] dr_willis: never used that, thanks for the suggestion! i'd love to get my work machine set up better due to the varying environments i have to ssh into :) [02:15] there's some ssh helper indicator applets also === xiambax__ is now known as xiambax [02:16] ulkesh: that doesn't mitigate the problem of displaying multiple terminals simultaneously, thanks for trying [02:17] brightknight: then i'm not understanding what you really want...i'm sorry [02:17] <_DomY-Dom> Hi, just installed Ubuntu 12.10 on my MacBook Pro (13 inch, 8,1), have been looking on the net for the most efficient way to fix the laggy sluggish buggy touchpad, dragging the mouse is either to slow or too fast, too sensitive or not sensitive enough and this is for clicking, moving, draggig, taping, scrolling (multitouch) etc. Anyone have a nice xorg config they are willing to share ? [02:17] brightknight: maybe terminator is a better method as dr_willis suggested [02:17] looking at a desktop I want a window on the left and right both displaying different content, screen would cycle these in only one window [02:18] brightknight: no, using screen -x you can cycle in both windows [02:18] brightknight: screen -x Attach to a not detached screen. (Multi display mode). [02:18] but that doesnt mitigate the problem of the stckness of the grouping in the launcher panel [02:19] this is a non-sequiter solution [02:19] brightknight: agreed, but it at least allows you to keep your tasks going if you ever have to kill the terminal, that's all i was saying, sorry i wasn't more clear [02:20] ulkesh: oh in the case that it does get frozen, yeah I see where this may help then [02:20] brightknight: yeah not fixing your specific situation, but a kind-of parachute :) [02:21] ulkesh: I will test the theory now [02:21] Hi here to follow up on a video player question. At this point pretty sure its 12.04 OS and not the video card or drivers [02:21] <_DomY-Dom_> Hi again, anyone keen on sharing Xorg config for macbook pro (13 inch, 8,1) touchpad with Ubuntu 12.10 ? [02:22] was wondering if I could find a workaround or solution [02:23] Gnuchess Bug: The tops utility is reporting 100% cpu usage when i open up glchess. [02:23] ulkesh: ok two opened , now the suggestion is killing them by the right click quit as I would have two if they were stuck hidden? (thinking this may kill the screen session which is presumably a child process of the terminal I will have to quit) [02:25] vlc player and gnome both go blank and won't show video after my computer is running for a while. didn't have this problem with 10.10 or when I boot into XP has anyone heard of this situation in 12.04 and any advice ?? [02:25] brightknight: no, the screen session will "detach" and then you pull up a new terminal and reattach with screen -D -R i believe [02:25] brightknight: i'll test on mine now [02:25] ulkesh: I think it is going to kill the screen process also [02:25] brightknight: you may be right, but i was pretty sure there's a way to have it detach in that situation [02:26] hmm okay I have a new driver and installed it but the're is a mismatch the kernel module as an older version [02:26] how do i change kernel module version [02:26] has* [02:27] ulkesh: its really designed for SSH, would be nice if there were a way to ungroup the windows in the launcher [02:27] would be the obvious solution [02:27] brightknight: i just killed gnome-terminal that ran my screen session and then reopened and ran screen -D -R and it worked fine [02:27] ive got a ubuntu 12.10 server. I've got it setup currently to do my webhosting (currently setup to host 4 sites)... but each site needs email -- and i can't find a guide that works on getting a mail-server running to give mail to all 4 domains... was thinking postfix over mysql for the postfixadmin -- anyone have anything off hand? [02:27] brightknight: you're right, for your primary problem [02:28] <_DomY-Dom_> Hi again, anyone keen on sharing Xorg config for macbook pro (13 inch, 8,1) touchpad with Ubuntu 12.10 ? [02:29] ulkesh: you are right I guess it works, bravo :) [02:30] problem solved [02:30] brightknight: well, only offering a catch-all in case you have to destroy terminal windows...i don't consider your primary issue solved atm...i'm researching some [02:30] Hey all, quick question. I have 2 monitors running on a GTX 660 with ubuntu 12.04LTS. For some reason, whenever I open a game or any fullscreen app it loads on my low resolution second monitor instead of my 1920x1080 monitor I primarily use [02:30] nice brightknight... wish i could get my problems solved... 16 hours working on getting a mail-server running with zero success... [02:31] dang it, his issue isn't technically solved :) just worked-around [02:31] lol -- work-around is still a solve in my opinion [02:31] might not be "optimal" but if it works [02:31] brightknight: hate to ask it, but have you removed the terminal icon from the launcher and re-added it and tried? [02:32] I have a problem I hope someone can help me. Got a new motherboard. Ubuntu 12.10 32bit works, but 64bit does not [02:32] anyone familiar with Toshiba backlit keyboard or display brightness FN keys on 12.10 ? [02:34] Does the official ubuntu repository provide GNOME 3.6?

[02:42] :source, contains, "dlinkrouter" /var/log/logfile [02:42] I am wondering if there is a repository option for switching to gnome classic , but I would be conscerned that it will cause other problems, the screen solution will have to do for now, back to work now. [02:43] brightknight: could always try other launchers (cairo, etc), but yeah if it's a netbook, gnome classic would probably run leaner, but i've never really tried it (i'm on my home desktop, i7 quad) [02:43] ulkesh: No I was saying that this interface is more for a netbook it looks to be an improved version of the netbook edition.

[02:58] mb i guess [02:58] i'm just wondering is a little swap always used [02:58] <_helios_> datsmoida: so how many gb I don't wanna do math lol [02:58] Be careful with vps. [02:58] 1.28 [02:58] or if any swap is used does that mean my ram is deficient [02:58] Might end up caught in the matrix. [02:59] 1280 [02:59] I was hoping for gb not mb [02:59] :) [02:59] 1.28GB ram [02:59] <_helios_> datsmoida: Ok 1.28GB of RAM you should have a swap for 1.5 GB [02:59] 1.28 TB of ram would be awesome [02:59] yes but how much should top show me using at any given time [03:00] i remember when 8mb was awesome [03:00] <_helios_> datsmoida: Unity will use most of that guaranteed [03:00] i am using gnome classic [03:00] wait [03:00] i am not using any gui [03:00] this is on a vps [03:00] I love classic [03:00] 12.04 ubuntu [03:00] datsmoida: Please don't flood; use http://paste.ubuntu.com to paste; don't use Enter as punctuation. [03:01] <_helios_> jarred_: My old packard bell had 16mb and when we upgraded to 24mb then 32mb we thought that was awesome and the 150mb harddrive [03:01] Why do you want 1.28 TB of ram mattwj2002 ? [03:02] because it would be cool [03:02] Its starting to bug me where this is going. [03:02] and like 1 PB of hard drive space :) [03:02] sorry! [03:03] oh da bytes :D [03:03] I am just trying to have foresight here. [03:03] so what we talking about? [03:04] _helios_:Ya. Igot the 8mb ram upgrade from 4mb with a 28.8kbps modem. They were brand new. Just came out. [03:04] I'm trying to run 12.10 in virtualbox and its very slow. is there something i can disable to boost performance? I tweak some things from one article to get guest additions to work, but still slugish [03:04] Seek truth folks, I will leave with that, seek truth. [03:04] I think my processor was clocked at 66mhz. [03:04] fwaokda: what's the host system? [03:04] <_helios_> jarred_: I never dreamed of 350GB HD with 2GB of RAM is like paradise to me still kinda lol [03:05] PoolShark_, Win 7 64bit, guest 12.10 32bit [03:05] Um have you tried giving it more video memory? [03:05] indeed [03:05] jarred_: my first linux box was a 486 dx4-133 with 32mb of ram and a 120mb hard disk [03:06] Greetings. I want to use whatever command line tools I can to copy a partition. Both drives are the same size (1TB); neither has the OS on it; the partition in question is 500GB (give or take). [03:06] my first system had 16 kb of ram [03:06] :) [03:06] *KB [03:06] well, my first system ever had 4kB of ram [03:06] :P [03:06] TRS-80 model I [03:06] mine too! [03:06] :D [03:06] lol [03:06] PoolShark_: That's pretty sweet. I guess what matters is not what you had but what you had and when you had it. [03:07] exactly [03:08] I think my folks paid like $2000 for my first system. Computers were such a rip off back then. === jirido is now known as Dii_Pundiih [03:11] indeed jarred_ [03:11] sudo mksquashfs /var/lib/jenkins jenkins-9-02-2013.squashfs -info -wildcards -e ".m2/*" -e "*/.git/*" -e "*.jar*" [03:11] Is only ignoring .m2 and not others [03:12] I paid $900 in 1990 for a monochrome X86 special. meanwhile.......... Greetings. I want to use whatever command line tools I can to copy a partition. Both drives are the same size (1TB); neither has the OS on it; the partition in question is 500GB (give or take). [03:13] I'm thinking I can use "dd" .........? without the quotes of course [03:14] <_helios_> I think I'm addicted to Ubuntu lol [03:14] I don't want to use clonezilla because I've had it wipe out all the drives on my computer even though only targeted at two . . . [03:17] I think I am plugged in. [03:17] Are you all working for me? [03:18] u need help brightknight [03:18] ? [03:18] working in the coal mine.... [03:20] morph3k: help shows love , well I want [03:20] you people can read my thoughts? [03:20] oh [03:20] well im about to watch the pirate bay documentary [03:21] so [03:21] I am going to think of a word and you type the word [03:21] if u need help right now is the time [03:21] I was wondering what that machine code is in my launguage support it looks like the code from transformers when they probed the main character. [03:22] Im thinking of a word. Can Ubuntu read it? [03:26] morph3k: do you know what that code is? [03:26] show me some of it [03:27] morph3k: look at the language support [03:27] idk what ur talkin about [03:27] it is at the bottom it looks like chineese morph3k [03:27] click language support [03:27] morph3k: What documentary? [03:28] morph3k: be careful theres different hypnotics than interpol controls on pirate bay stuff [03:28] more likely a cohen family [03:28] its the one about the founders of the pirate bay [03:28] they made a documentary [03:28] got released today on torrents [03:29] morph3k: What's it called? [03:29] the pirate bay away from the keyboard [03:30] anyone using ubuntu 12.04 as guest on vbox 4.2.6 ? [03:30] i use 12.04 on my server [03:30] fwaokda: is vbox an easy install ? [03:31] well [03:31] VM [03:31] not server [03:31] VMware Fusion [03:31] brightknight, its easy to install but my ubuntu is running sluggish at the moment ;/ [03:31] morph3k: How epically ironic. Someone made a movie and is trying to make money off of it. I wonder if they will sue for people pirating it. [03:31] histo: they released it on TPB themselves [03:31] morph3k: It's a donation based model. They've only made 26k so far lol [03:32] fwaokda: turn on VT extensions [03:32] fwaokda: use Xfce instead of Unity or Gnome [03:32] if u already got it installed it hink u can just sudo apt-get install xfce4 [03:32] use the unity 2d or lubuntu desktop for snappier vbox. [03:32] unity is slow [03:32] be sure you got guest addations installed [03:32] Xfce is where it's at now [03:32] morph3k: PS you can stream it on youtube [03:32] I switched over to Ubuntu Studio 64, no more unity :-) [03:32] morph3k, k thanks i'll look into that never heard of it [03:33] fwaokda: www.xubuntu.com [03:33] if u want to reinstall [03:33] brightknight, whats VT extensions? [03:33] or just apt-get it [03:33] !vbox [03:33] then startx [03:33] Virtualbox is a virtualizer for x86 and amd64 architectures. It's available in the package "virtualbox" in the !repositories, and you can download the Virtualbox Extension Pack for additional, non-Free functionality at http://virtualbox.org . Additional details can be found at https://help.ubuntu.com/community/VirtualBox [03:33] I didn't mind unity, but I don't miss the random crashes either [03:33] Hi I'm new to ubuntu. I recently installed Ubuntu 12.04 and I'm having some issues. Specifically with the software updates and the speed of the os seems to be slow. Can some one help? [03:34] bigpun_: Make sure your screen resolution isn't too high, especially if you are using compiz. Compositing will kill any computer's speed if your rezolution is too high [03:34] Also, my applications, such as firefox, crashes after a few min of use. I have no idea why [03:34] ah ok [03:34] ubuntu might be a little to much for your laptop [03:35] as i just suggested to someone else bigpun_ try out www.xubuntu.com [03:35] run the apps from a terminal.. look for errors when it crashes [03:35] it uses Xfce instead of Unity [03:35] morph3k, i guess i'll download the xubuntu iso and install fresh ;) thanks [03:35] ull love it [03:35] go to the xfce website and check ss's [03:35] it looks great [03:35] I figured as much, my laptop is almost 7 years old haha [03:35] well xubuntu might even be to much [03:36] try damn small linux or something [03:36] idk [03:36] fwaokda: its hardware built for virtualization shortcut to the CPU core [03:36] what specs u got? [03:36] I use Xfce, but when I first installed it was slow after installing compiz, then I realized my rez was like 100000X100000 [03:36] bigpun_: lubuntu will be even lighter [03:36] yea dr_willis is right [03:36] i havent tried it myself though [03:36] I put it back to normal, and it's flying now with awesome effects, smooth as butter! [03:36] None of unity's bullshit crashing [03:36] morph3k: I find it incredibly funny that the film makers want money for this documentary. [03:36] hi can someone tell me how can I log an IRC channel [03:37] ur on one Niraj_ [03:37] ... [03:37] i rarely see unity crash in 12.10 [03:37] Ihaha [03:37] @morph3k [03:37] goin to play some savage2 [03:37] hope the servers are back up [03:37] bigpun_: What type of graphics card do you ahve? [03:37] Niraj_: use a client with the features [03:38] I want this to be done on some server [03:38] I moved from kubuntu to gnome shell remix [03:38] not my machine [03:38] and some apps didn't get the gtk 3 styling (libreoffice for example) [03:38] why is that? [03:38] gnome is done for [03:38] due to net connection restrictions [03:38] they just fucked themselves [03:38] u cant even minimize or maximize anymore lol [03:39] err.. yes you can. [03:39] Cinnamon looks really nice [03:39] FIrefox crashed again [03:39] sorry [03:39] u gotta double click the shit dr_willis [03:39] theres no minimize button [03:39] or at least none i saw [03:39] Hey guys, I was wondering if someone could help me with an NVIDIA twinview prob I'm having. I have two monitors (23" and 18") and want the 23" to be my main, as it has the 1920x1080 resolution. Even when I am able to get the task bars to show up on it I can't get games/fullscreen stuff to launch on it, they always take my other monitor and then I have to reboot. I copied my xorg.conf to pastebin if someone could take a look at it. [03:39] Been trying to edit it for like an hour :x http://paste.ubuntu.com/1627503/ [03:39] morph3k: youre wrong.. tgey are easially reenabled [03:39] did not know that [03:39] still imo they went down hill fast [03:39] at the beginning of 2012 i loved the [03:40] them [03:40] ive loved gnome since ubuntu 9.04 [03:40] now i wont touch it [03:40] @morph3k I'm new to computing how can I check my specs in linux? I now for windows I could just run dxdiag and it would tell me but I have no idea for ubuntu [03:40] ive seen gnome grow since uts inception.... [03:40] bigpun: lspci will show you your hardware devices [03:40] bigpun: i dont use a GUI [03:41] idk if u are used to terminal or not [03:41] i use ubuntu purely for servers [03:41] innovate or stagnant ..... is the order of the day... [03:41] Well I am not immersed in Terminal yet however I am familiar with it [03:41] I have run a few commands before [03:41] google linux cheat sheet [03:41] print it off [03:41] cos terminal is gonna be ur best friend [03:41] <_helios_> bigpun: Soon you will find Terminal is the best way to go ;) [03:41] !info hwinfo [03:41] hwinfo (source: hwinfo): Hardware identification system. In component universe, is optional. Version 16.0-2.2 (quantal), package size 17 kB, installed size 99 kB [03:42] Yea I was tyring to find books on terminal but to no avail haha [03:42] for example bigpun [03:42] open terminal [03:42] type [03:42] sudo apt-get install hwinfo [03:42] morph3k: Please don't flood; use http://paste.ubuntu.com to paste; don't use Enter as punctuation. [03:42] bigpun: well run the command lspci and tell us what type of vga controller you have. Mostlikely your system appears slow due to not having the right graphics drivers with unity [03:42] tons of terminal guides out there [03:42] Alright, one sec [03:42] !terminal [03:42] The linux terminal or command-line interface is very powerful. Open a terminal via Applications -> Accessories -> Terminal (Gnome), K-menu -> System -> Konsole (KDE), or Menu -> Accessories -> LXTerminal (LXDE). Guide: https://help.ubuntu.com/community/UsingTheTerminal [03:42] never used a guide i always just gave ppl i introduced to linux the cheat sheet [03:44] hello, can someone please help me with sound/mic setup in wine? im running pulseaudio and the latest version of wine (default config) [03:44] @histo, here what it said [03:44] VGA compatible controller: Advanced Micro Devices [AMD] nee ATI Radeon Mobility X1400 [03:44] * dr_willis reads man pages [03:44] ;-) [03:44] i recall years back redhat selling a huge printed man pages book. [03:45] I do have a monitor hooked up to my laptop because my laptop screen is messed up lol [03:45] bigpun: yeah install ati drivers [03:45] !ati | bigpun [03:45] bigpun: For Ati/NVidia/Matrox video cards, see https://help.ubuntu.com/community/VideoDriverHowto [03:45] bigpun: and all will be well again [03:46] no help on the xorg.conf? [03:47] hello, can someone please help me with sound/mic setup in wine? im running pulseaudio and the latest version of wine (default config) [03:47] anyone here got steam with CS:S? [03:47] and is on a laptop? [03:48] what are ati drivers? [03:48] mdomino [03:48] what am i lookin for [03:49] !ati | bigpun [03:49] bigpun: You have an ati card if you install ati drivers following the instructions from ubottu you will find better performance [03:49] I've got two monitors, Screen1 should be primary but every time I add it to xorg.conf as the primary in ServerLayout X fails to load [03:49] i'm having some big problems upgrading & with dpkg, is anyone available to give me a hand [03:50] Trying to see if there is anything I'm missing in the config, or how I could edit it so that Screen1 or Monitor1 is the primary, morph3k [03:50] mdomino [03:50] makea back up of that [03:50] and just try to flip the shit around [03:50] id just tinker with it [03:50] that's what i've been doing for about an hour [03:50] hello. where can I find DSPs for deadbeef? And if there aren't any, what other players support dsp? [03:50] cant find any docs on what Screen 0 "Screen0" 0 0means [03:51] i unfortunately dont hav ethe time to mess with all of it right now but it is exactly what I would do [03:51] Screen0 = 1 screen [03:51] Screen1 = 2nd screen [03:51] screen* [03:51] instead of starting at 1 [03:51] they start at 0 [03:51] yep... shit, just found a doc with ServerLayout params layed out [03:51] http://www.centos.org/docs/5/html/5.1/Deployment_Guide/s3-x-server-config-xorg.conf-serverl.html if anyone needs :p [03:51] thanks man, back to tinkering and rebooting [03:51] wtf [03:52] good luck [03:52] trying to install ubuntu and when choosing the INstall type I can't click "continue" === lvx is now known as lvx2 [03:52] wrong architecture?

[03:56] been so long that i couldnt even finish it [03:56] idk what secure remix is [03:56] from https://help.ubuntu.com/community/UbuntuSecureRemix [03:57] has like 3 extra tools [03:57] xastey: does that come with wifi tools? [03:57] was reading some forums and the help site and it mentioned boo-repair [03:57] yeah i dunno man [03:57] u might of messed something up there [03:57] like recording the info and packets [03:57] no clue brightknight [03:57] id just go with ubuntu desktop [03:57] well morph3k I'll burn another disk see if ubuntu-12.10-desktop-amd64.iso works [03:58] download rEFit or something if u need to dual boot [03:58] yeah I need to dual boot [03:58] I'm unable to load drivers such as ATI. Keep on getting an error. any ideas? [03:58] bigpun_: ur driver might be to old [03:58] may not be a linux compatible version of the driver for it [03:59] theres ways around it i think. i just have no idea [03:59] never had the problem myself [03:59] I see. Any suggestion for which linux I should download for a 7 year old laptop? [03:59] haha [03:59] eh seems I can do boot-repair afterwards [03:59] damn small linux bigpun_ [03:59] or === hatake is now known as blackjack [04:00] bigpun_: The latest ATI drivers for Linux only cover some of their newer cards. I've got a desktop PC that's only about 2 years old, and the drivers don't cover its on-board ATI card. [04:00] http://www.linuxmint.com/release.php?id=18 [04:00] could try that [04:00] Xfce [04:00] or [04:00] Cinnamon [04:00] or [04:00] morph3k: Please don't flood; use http://paste.ubuntu.com to paste; don't use Enter as punctuation. [04:00] morph3k thanks [04:01] Fedora has an LXDE version [04:01] LXDE is even lighter than both of them [04:01] anyone familiar with Toshiba backlit keyboard or display brightness FN keys on 12.10 ? [04:01] I'm assuming that these are other linux based os [04:01] linux distros yeah [04:01] made by other companies or communities [04:01] yes [04:01] ah ok [04:01] google damn small linux too [04:01] Gerowen: I think my laptop has an ATI card how do I put the full drivers on it it says only unknown for graphacs [04:01] alright [04:01] is redhat still in business? [04:01] it will definitely work on an old junker [04:01] linuxmint looks nice [04:02] i put it on my grandpa's old computer and it was 1.8GHz with 227mb of ram [04:02] yea xastey it is nice and cinnamon is really nice [04:02] but i dont think bigpun_ is gonna find a linux distro that will have the driver for his 7 year old video card unfortunately [04:02] brightknight: If your card is supported, this should work, if not then you're stuck with the open source drivers since AMD decided to yank support for their older cards. https://help.ubuntu.com/community/BinaryDriverHowto/ATI [04:02] morph3k: tin foil hat linux with a braille terminal voice recognition and touchscreen [04:03] you know what I may just try this one [04:03] bigpun_: there u go Gerowen got ya [04:03] Gerowen: how do i check what drivers it is using the gui just says unknown [04:03] o so I can install cinnamon onto ubuntu [04:04] i think so xastey [04:04] not for sure though [04:04] yeah you can.. looking at their page [04:04] Well, I do have a much more powerful laptop. Its a samsung series 7 notebook with 2.3 Ghz processes with more powerful graphics card. What i'm afraid of is crashing the system when tinkering around with the termianl and messing up my hardware or something. [04:04] why do you guys use as your email client instead of thunderbird? [04:04] I do have windows 7 and 8 already installed on it as well [04:04] hey guys, anyone else noticing performance issues with 12.10 on virtualbox? (from the terminal not as a desktop or x11 environment) [04:05] i use thunderbird [04:05] morph3k: with that all aborhances can be identified by self [04:05] how is that goign bigpun_ I was going to pick up a series 7 today [04:05] morph3k: used something else? [04:05] but then I saw reports that livecd would make the system unbootable [04:05] morph3k: because with the different senses it can be cross referenced and the red dragon can be thrown down for torture [04:05] wanted to test the support before I did anything [04:05] i have before but i havent uesd linux as a GUI desktop in a long time [04:06] like i said earlier i use linux exclusively for servers [04:06] i use OSX for my GUI Desktop [04:06] hey guys [04:06] any idea why ubuntu server keeps locking up on grub-install dummy? [04:07] morph3k: eye cross like the zenmap logo I vs I [04:07] brightknight: Just go to the "Software Sources" application and there's a tab that says "Additional Drivers", if any are available straight from Ubuntu, or are in use, they'll be listed there. For just looking at your hardware specs, I use a program called "sysinfo", it's a GUI tool that usually does a good job of actually listing what your hardware is, even if you're not using the correct drivers for it. [04:07] @xastey So far I love it. I have the 17 inch one with 1TB HDD but I did find windows 8 to be dissapointing. Its like they're trying to be like Apple with the apps and the layout. But other than that the laptop is great. There is also a reivew on youtube that covers it pretty well. The start up and shutdown speed is very fast aswell [04:08] brightknight: i have no idea what u have been talkin about bro :P [04:08] Gerowen: I dont have any reason to have proprietary drivers atm [04:08] mattwj2002: restaart it in recovery mode and update your grub through terminal [04:09] ok [04:09] just do [04:09] sudo apt-get update && sudo apt-get upgrade [04:09] bigpun_ how is the linux support ? I ended up picking up a Toshiba P855 can't get my backlit keyboard or brightness FN keys to work [04:09] that will take u up [04:09] Gerowen: thats what they call an IQ it can store in the eyeball info like a minibrain buffer [04:09] to speed* [04:10] what is causing that? [04:10] i dunno [04:10] get calibrated to that canadian company, different triggers [04:10] slow computer? [04:10] or maybe ur not being patient enough [04:10] couldnt saay since im not there [04:10] really though afk now [04:10] why would num lock not work? [04:10] hi [04:11] its like VT extensions sometimes it bypasses the CPU from eye to hand coordination [04:11] * Gerowen is away: [Playing Half Life 1] [04:11] xastey: Currently I haven't installed linux on the samsung yet due to the fear I might crash my system while messing around with the termianl. Aslo I don't think samsung has drivers for linux users [04:11] but in the event of an anarchy hand syndrome or AHS thats why i say voice recognition on something like tinfoil hat linux [04:11] with an ELO touchpanel [04:12] for the on screen keyboard [04:12] bigpun_ thats the main reason why I didn't get it, I did some research and people had to return their laptop to get the mobo fixed because of trying to install ubuntu along with some other problems [04:12] hi cipher__ [04:12] my bluetooth headset won't show up under sound options [04:12] FU after 2h, 404 - not found [04:12] it is paired [04:12] i want to use it as audio output [04:13] well morph3k you were right.. used the desktop version and now the continue button is enabled [04:13] I would really appreciate help [04:14] cipher__: did you turn on bluetooth and pair it [04:14] yes [04:14] brightknight, * ha i thought you were a bot; hello [04:14] xastey: It will be a while before I'm able to understand how to use linux properly so I'm content with the samsung series 7. Plus I get to play games like prototype 2 and bioshock so it was worth the investment for me :P [04:15] cipher__: no im just putting things out there I could use help with a few folks here work for me [04:15] bigpun_ I dont play games :) just dev [04:15] We there you go lol [04:16] crap now to figure out this partition stuff crap [04:16] cipher__: ubuntu is surley not without bugs [04:16] I'd say it have fewer than M$ though [04:16] cipher__: just tinker around and try resetting stuff [04:17] xastey: My uncle recommend linux since he's a developer as well if I recall correctly. I'm still new to linux but he said that anyone can use it. I can still to day to day things with linux its just that I am interested in being able to do more than just the average user you know?. [04:17] bigpun_ yeah makes perfect sense [04:18] bigpun_ Such as? Linux has everything except windows games 100% compatibility.

[04:18] Yea I heard they were really dissapointed with windows 8 [04:19] common [04:19] that's why they're going for linux as well as blizzard [04:19] blizzard was especially dissapointed lol [04:19] red dragon is like a virus trying to hide [04:20] http://www.zdnet.com/valve-windows-8-is-a-catastrophe-for-pcs-7000001634/ [04:20] if i can fix all of ubuntus bugs would ubuntu let me or is the plan perpetual beta testing?

[04:25] xastey, I personally don't worry about swap space anymore with the speed of modern p00ters [04:26] why not one partition then? [04:27] topper4125 well installer doesn't even let me make a swap partition [04:27] o well [04:29] bigpun_ I do not know wwhat are you going to use it for. [04:29] is it best practice not to use any of your swap space for your programs ? [04:29] and just keep it for spikes ? === adrian is now known as Guest95718 [04:29] stupid me.. dropdown fool [04:30] pretty sure I would hit swap with my IDE's and some of my dev apps [04:30] talking to me ? [04:32] It would seem ATI don't like the Cinnamon interface.

[04:40] topper do you know anything about ubuntu?

[04:43] hello all [04:43] Quick noob question... [04:43] go [04:43] just ask it, dont ask to ask [04:43] is there a way that I can see what is being submitted via web form? [04:44] the packages i download dont do anything even after install and the last update i did for my system had one for the card but i knocked my internet completly out, wired and wifi (dont have wifi but still) [04:44] I have an online trouble ticket solution at work that I have to use...and I am tring to automate the whole process... [04:45] oh [04:45] neocypher, the connection was interupted *during* the update?

[04:46] no it installed just fine as i have it set up to a wired connection but on reboot it wouldent even pick up the wired connection i checked the cable and there were no problems, i had to remove the package to get internet back [04:47] hello all, i am trying to find if a kernel module is being loaded, it is listed in /etc/modules but im not sure it can find the module in the first place === Guest86799 is now known as matthewvz [04:49] neocypher maybe try "sudo apt-get update --fix-broken" see if it will replace broken/missing parts.. [04:50] topper is that the whole command? [04:50] neocypher... yes that's the whole command... it'll check for broken packages [04:51] topper alright, well i run my OS off of a USB (hardrive failure and its much cheaper) so ill try that out later, cause im on a desktop computer atm XD [04:52] neocypher, k... good luck with it, it that command doesn't fix it, it won't make it worse....

Oh no way. I'm nub as it gets. [05:49] dydzEz2: I blame china [05:50] * histo is glad for not owning a bcm card [05:50] hey guys I have an acer eeepc with 2 gig ssd i have been running 7.10 on it for a couple years now by splitting the install / on the ssd and /usr on a 4 gig sd card i tried installing 12.04 this way but no dice. any ideas I would like to not have to use old releases sources [05:50] histo: lol [05:51] betty_boop: What do you mean no dice? you can do that. [05:51] it refuses to boot [05:51] betty_boop: Where did you install grub to? [05:51] ssd [05:52] betty_boop: Is the ssd flagged as bootable and set int eh bios/efi to boot? [05:52] betty_boop: I'd assume something went seriously wrong with grub in your case. I'd reinstall grub and double check your fstab to make sure your other partitioins are listed there. [05:53] im such an idiot thanx [05:53] betty_boop: What was it? [05:54] Can anyone help with legacy fglrx drivers in 12.10? [05:54] because i formatted i think i forgot to flag it bootable lol! === test2 is now known as IcePee [05:55] betty_boop: yeapers. Also if you are using an ssd I recomend using trim and mounting /tmp and /var/log etc... to ram.

[05:55] privmsg [05:56] histo thanx alot i was getting frustrated [05:56] histo: I'm new to linux as I'm sure you've noticed [05:56] The ubuntu website doesn't offer help with legacy drivers. === croppa_ is now known as croppa [05:57] roger_: well in betty's case there is a small ssd of 2GB so other stuff is on another partition. In my case I mount /var/spool /var/log /tmp in ram cause I am using an ssd and trying to avoid writing to it heavily. Some people do it so if a drive goes bad in a certain section there is a chance they will be able to recover other partitions and or still boot the system. [05:57] loudaslife: I'm not real good with ati stuff but what type of card is it? Why do you think you need legacy drivers? [05:58] putting the most accessed data on tge fastest druves helps speed on systems with lots of load. [05:58] histo: It's an AGP 3450 card. from what i had read online i had just assumed it fell under the legacy catagory. [05:59] hi [05:59] hi [05:59] roger_: ex: on even a regular hard drive I always atleast seperate /home and / . / is where the os is installed /home contains all your user files. So I could switch from ubuntu or anyother distro and only reformat / and still ahve all my files untouched. [05:59] hi [06:00] histo, dr_willis: thanks... trying to learn all I can.. greatly appreciated! [06:00] you said that poolsen [06:00] roger_: really a matter of preference. You can get away with one partition like / and no swap. You could create a swapfile in / somewhere if you still wanted that feature on one partition. [06:01] roger_: hang out in here and you will learn. Try to help others with problems you experienced. Or google there problems also if you have the time. and read this: [06:01] poolsen [06:01] !manual | roger_ [06:01] roger_: The Ubuntu Manual will help you become familiar with everyday tasks such as surfing the web, listening to music and scanning documents.

[06:03] malik [06:03] hmm.. installing is updateing and upgradeing.... [06:03] mibr001: I would see if you can ping those servers that are erroring from that box. [06:03] histo: Yes. http://www.ubuntuvibes.com/2012/10/how-to-install-amd-catalyst-legacy.html seemed like a perfect solution, but I get errors trying to install it. [06:03] loudaslife: what errors? [06:04] malikkk [06:04] loudaslife: are you running 12.10? [06:04] roger_: one sec [06:04] somone [06:05] loudaslife: also this stuff is way out of the range of support for ubuntu. Someone else may have experience, but following those instructions you are downgrading X and using a PPA. if it was me I'd stick with the opensource drivers. [06:05] poolsen: did you have a question? [06:05] apt-add-repository ppa:izx/ovz-libc could someone help me translate that into the actual lines i need for sources.list ? i'm dealing with a lazy virt hoster that said fix it yourself and python is busted so apt-add-repo bugs out [06:05] histo: I don't seem to get any hardware acceleration with the default drivers.

[06:09] ok ubuntu 12.10, my login screen dissapeared and im in a full screen terminal basically [06:09] synopsis: ~350GB partition was moving leftwards by about 300GB, and was interrupted about 100GB in [06:10] i just did a system update, after a fresh install [06:10] histo: ok. that wall of text is unintelligible to someone like me. [06:10] Wug: What type of files are you concerned with recovering? [06:10] im on xubuntu actually but yeah [06:10] histo: if I can get the whole partition back that would be great [06:10] theoretically it should not have started copying over the beginning of the partition [06:10] there [06:10] Wug: I would image the drive to a backup drive and then work from that image. [06:10] dydzEz2_: ctrl+alt+f7 do anything for ya? [06:11] Wug: but you can try the testdisk applicatoin to attempt to recover the partition table. [06:11] Wug: if that fails you may be stuck carving the files. [06:11] im running testdisk on it to see what it finds [06:11] mibr001 i did login in that black terminal, now my screen is just completely black [06:11] http://pastie.org/6100717 [06:12] mibr001: let me see what's going on. [06:12] lets make an assumption: The partition is intact but free; the partition table entry is wrong but the partition data is completely intact [06:12] so whats that mean mibr001 [06:12] mibr001: I would try disabling the ppa's and updating [06:12] what specifically is the procedure for searching through the disk to find the beginning of the old partition [06:12] Wug: The data is there even if it was moved it's still in the old location and the new one. [06:13] yep that's what I'm hoping for [06:13] Wug: testdisk will search for the old partitioin table [06:13] testdisk is pretty far in and has not found it [06:13] Wug: worst case like I say you will want to use the photorec application which comes with testdisk to carve your files to some external source. [06:14] Wug: use test disk it will take time but probably you will get your partition table back [06:14] hey all is there a basic guide that teaches how to do things like switching desktops [06:14] I suspect it may be confused by the fact that the partition table indicates that there is a partition there, taking up the whole space [06:14] Wug: This is why you always backup before moving partitions and data around like this. [06:14] http://i.imgur.com/8NXRLmZ.png [06:14] dont remind me [06:14] Wug: let it do it's thing [06:14] one thing is im not sure what "its thing" is [06:15] !ppa-purge | mibr001 [06:15] mibr001: To disable a PPA from your sources and revert your packages back to default Ubuntu packages, install ppa-purge and use the command: « sudo ppa-purge ppa:/ » – For more information, see http://www.webupd8.org/2009/12/remove-ppa-repositories-via-command.html [06:15] im doing what I think is a scan for any dropped partitions but im not sure if im using the scan which will work best on what I have [06:15] I dont think trying every option is a good idea [06:15] Wug: You don't ahve to comit the changes [06:15] ok, that simplifies things [06:16] ubuntu phone not installing correctly on my Nexus 7 :( ,Very dissapointed guys, you gave us false hope [06:16] Wug: http://www.debian-administration.org/articles/420 [06:16] !phone | Tera_Giga_MegS [06:16] Tera_Giga_MegS: Ubuntu for phone has been announced, see http://www.ubuntu.com/devices/phone to find out more and to sign up for progress updates.

But your data probably isn't worth that. [06:19] histo: no, probably not [06:20] Wug: data recover is expensive. You may get lucky with testdisk if not I'm sure photorec will recover plenty of files. [06:20] I can probably get it all back if I just use magic to copy out the 400GB or so of disk I know has the partition on it [06:20] ddrescue or something would do that ok [06:21] Wug: the issue is the filesystem. You'd have to repair that. [06:21] then testdisk to find the partition in the nothing [06:21] always backup sensitive data on multiple drives, stored in different locations and encrypted [06:21] the filesystem of the copy is irreparably broken and I dont care about it, the original is probably intact somewhere [06:21] Wug: after you did what you are suggesting. Like imaging the section of the drive. [06:22] Wug: I dont' believe you could image a section of a drive and then mount it that way.

I found some articles that are a bit out-dated (I am using ext4 btw) [06:45] click it,tks^ω^ [06:46] ¿What is the best irc server for Ubuntu? [06:46] !best | MatthewL [06:46] MatthewL: Usually, there is no single "best" application to perform a given task. It's up to you to choose, depending on your preferences, features you require, and other factors. Do NOT take polls in the channel. If you insist on getting people's opinions, ask BestBot in #ubuntu-bots. [06:46] When I connect to a wireless access point, my computer shows up named as "ubuntu". I'm not sure where this computer name is coming from, but is there a way to change it? [06:46] !hostname | zzxx [06:46] zzxx: Use hostname to set the hostname, or to do it permanently: edit /etc/hosts to include BOTH the old and new hostname and then change /etc/hostname to the new one. WARNING! Make sure that your current hostname and /etc/hosts match, otherwise sudo may not work properly. [06:48] wiggmpk: Have you tried gparted? [06:48] histo: where can I start learning about irc servers? [06:49] histo: seems a bit obvious doesnt it... didnt think it would work with a softRAID setup [06:49] MatthewL: You could search the software center or google? [06:49] ubuntu-cn! [06:49] i like it [06:49] MatthewL: read wikipedia & follow links. also there is a series called "BBS the documentary" which is a great history leading up to the social phenom. also try running an eggdrop bot &, if you're ambitious, setting up your own irc server. [06:49] Hiso-android: /j #ubuntu-cn [06:50] wiggmpk: I believe it does let me check === jirido is now known as Dii_Pundiih [06:50] histo: I can only see /dev/md0 which is my boot partition, im assuming because the other 2 raid partitions are mounted, they cant be manipulated? [06:51] histo: nydel: thanks! [06:51] histo: ah, hostname, of course. Follow up question, in my /etc/hosts file, there is localhost listed as 127.0.0.1 (as you would expect), but ubuntu is listed as 127.0.1.1. What is 127.0.1.1 all about? why not x.x.0.1 [06:51] ?\ [06:52] wiggmpk: Right they have to be unmounted [06:52] wiggmpk: you'd have to use a livecd or usb [06:52] help [06:52] zzxx: doesn't matter 127.xxx.xxx.xxx = localhost [06:52] nydel: I was thinking of setting one irc server up locally first... [06:53] where download stage3tarbal for ubuntu ? [06:53] histo: ok. is there any reason at all for the different number? [06:53] zzxx: I honestly don't know. [06:53] MatthewL: that is a great idea. you could set it up & connect to it yourself & just get a feel for what it is. [06:53] MatthewL: have you ever run a server or managed a webspace? [06:53] histo: k thx === Plinker__ is now known as Plinker [06:55] zzxx: it's just another way to give your machine a FQDN, it will loopback regardless to your local machine, but instead of using localhost you could use whatever hostname you decide you want your machine to have.. 127.0.0.0/8 are all reserved for loopback [06:55] zzxx: I think 127.0.0.1 is for Localhost, and if other ips are needed, that's what happens? [06:56] zzxx: in this case, im assuming the "name" of your computer is "ubuntu", or the Fully Qualified Domain Name of your machine is called "ubuntu" or localhost [06:57] nydel: No, but I'm renting vps space now. [06:57] I think it will be simpler in Ubuntu Debian [06:58] histo: thanks man, I'm excited to have a GUI option available.. would hate to screw up my system without having to use "links" to ASCII google lol [06:58] histo: quite sure, lxde can be started successfully [06:59] wiggmpk: good advice! [07:00] running your own irc server can be a great exercise, but there are plenty of networks available to most likely handle your needs, including of course, freenode [07:00] MatthewL: thanks =) [07:01] ejv: yes, you're right. I think it would be still geek cool to say you run your own irc server though. That what I'm mainly after. [07:01] is it a good or bad idea to install Linux Kernel 3.5 on Ubuntu 10.04? [07:02] ask yourself, what am I gaining by jumping to 3.5? if you can't answer that, don't. [07:03] badday: So the issue is the way you are starting X [07:03] r0b-: what's the current one? [07:03] histo: can u explain that a little bit, please? [07:04] ejv: I'm also wondering about how chat bots are put together [07:04] :P aeon-ltd i already did it. [07:04] aeon-ltd: 2.6.32.FOO give or take [07:04] wow ubuntu's far behind === Wug is now known as Wug[Hyperspace] [07:06] um no. that's for a 10.04 LTS. it's typical to freeze/stabilize packages like that. it's not "far" behind. that release is from 2010. [07:06] hmm [07:07] anybody home [07:07] MatthewL: that's outside of the scope of support this channel provides, #ubuntu-offtopic is a better place for that [07:08] ejv: y, you're right. Thanks for the info every one. Good night. [07:08] nobody home! [07:08] i just watched the pirate bay documentary [07:09] spoiler: one of the guys is seen booting up ubuntu [07:09] lol [07:09] so i am reading about ppa's do they come from trusted sources? [07:10] yes and no [07:10] they are signed with their own keys [07:10] but it's not like they come from canonical [07:11] this may be an off topic subject, but is it ok to put a laptop to suspension every night to resume, the next day, rather than hibernate... does it affect the machine or battery negatively in any way? what do you guys think? [07:12] histo: fixed it, sorry, stupid mistake [07:12] 这里有华人么？ [07:12] bsv4o8: it shouldn't harm the battery at all. [07:12] !cn [07:12] 如欲獲得中文的協助，請輸入 /join #ubuntu-cn 或 /join #ubuntu-tw [07:13] i do it every night instead of hibernating [07:13] i don't even have hibernation enabled [07:13] sorry,i just.... [07:13] yea i think hibernation is disabled by default [07:13] from what i read [07:13] histo: quick question, I have my swap partition on a RAID0 as well, if I shrink that partition will I need to change anything else? will it screw up suspend? not that it works anyway [07:14] when you update ubuntu through the gui updater, it automatically does "apt-get update" beforehand right [07:14] dydzEz2_: you mean the "check" button? [07:15] i just reinstall xubuntu and theres that like little icons saying software updates [07:15] if i click it will it update all the stuff beforehand [07:15] bsv4o8: hibernation is default because it dosn't rely on your battery charge, the system always will be in a consistent state, even if the battery charge drops down to 0. [07:15] dydzEz2_, when a notification pops up, you have the fresh lists like apt-get update does [07:16] dydzEz2_: i never used xubuntu, but if the Update Manager is the same, clicking "Check" will check the repositories for updating packages, yes.. [07:16] i see === linuxthefish` is now known as linuxthefish [07:17] hmm [07:17] i need help [07:17] I want to get in on U at the ground level but the lack of wifi drivers in the wubi install has made that an impossibility [07:17] how long does it take for you guys to do sudo apt-get update [07:17] its taking me a while for some reason, i remember it faster [07:17] dydzEz2_: real 0m12.232s [07:18] dydzEz2_, change mirror [07:18] i have lots of ppas [07:18] dydzEz2_: thats pretty situational.. internet speed, which repositories you are using.. etc === bsv4o8 is now known as [BSV408] [07:18] oh wow i know whats causing the black screen [07:18] i installed xubuntu and on ctrl+alt+f7 aka regular login screen it went black [07:18] after installing xubuntu restricted extras [07:19] dydzEz2_: are you using proprietary drivers? like nvidia?

Gnome is a desktop environment. Unity is (theoretically) a window manager. [11:22] CodeGnome: So the lastest version of Ubuntu uses LightDM, right? [11:23] KrisB: By default, yes. [11:23] hi [11:24] unity is a shell for gnome3 ;-) [11:25] dr_willis: Um, no it isn't. [11:25] yes it is. as is gnome-shell [11:25] CodeGnome unity is gnome3 with compiz eye candy [11:25] CodeGnome : Wikipedia says: "X display manager runs as a program that allows the starting of a session on an X server" So actually LightDM runs as a program on an X Server. Right? And X Server refers to simply physical PC? [11:26] compiz is the wm [11:26] hey guys I have a question... did anyone try running a compiz on ubuntu running on MacBookPro and experienced some troubles? [11:26] ubuntu it ??? how to?

[11:28] dr_willis : sorry for being stupid - what how shell differs from Terminal? [11:29] KrisB: Not exactly. LightDM is an Xclient for authenticating to an X session hosted on some X server---usually your local machine, but it doesn't have to be. [11:30] sk1pper: Why can't you just create it if you need it? [11:30] sk1pper, I can't recall but I think ubuntu only has modprobe.d and modprobe.conf [11:30] StevenR its the same for both router [11:30] hi im trying to compile video4linux, and it requires to be built against current kernels headers so you can build a external kernel module, i do a make all LINUX_DIR=/usr/src/linux-headers-3.5.0-17/ and it cannot find "linux/autoconf.h". [11:30] you have to create file manually [11:30] pranav1: you can check with progressively larger pings [11:30] CodeGnome - by saying "on some X server", do you refer to just physical pc or some software aplication? [11:31] vinfu: Why are you trying to build v4l? It's in the default kernel... [11:31] CodeGnome: it has been there for older versions, if i create it, it will maybe come to conflict with modprobe.conf [11:31] pranav1> what is the make and model of the router that is causing issues ? [11:32] oh ok so i can just run one of the v4l apps? === erry_ is now known as erry [11:32] vinfu: Sure, don't see why not [11:32] KrisB: An X server is just software. The display hardware can be local, remote, or virtual. [11:32] ‏‎TL-WR740N [11:32] mutantkeyboard: it was there for older versions, i can see from howtos on ubuntuforum [11:33] TL-WR740N [11:33] hmm ... did you try playing a bit around it? I mean ... you can try to cp modprobe.conf > modprobe.options and rename modprobe.conf into modprobe.conf.bak and see what happens [11:34] if something is screwed up, it's still easy to fix [11:37] CodeGnome: so An X server can run a display manager that is on a remote pc? [11:37] How come whenever I try to install any more-or-less gnome-related package it tries to pull Nautilus and Brasero in? I just want to install Cheese, jeebus. [11:38] theadmin, dependencies???

[11:39] hi all i've a question [11:39] i've installed ubuntu server (lastest version) [11:40] Guys please i need to use samba to join active directory domain, but i don't know how, Can anyone help me plz? [11:40] SagittPC, 12.10??? [11:40] !samba|X-Scorpion, [11:40] X-Scorpion,: Samba is the way to cooperate with Windows environments. Links with more info: https://wiki.ubuntu.com/MountWindowsSharesPermanently and https://help.ubuntu.com/12.04/serverguide/C/windows-networking.html - Samba can be administered via the web with SWAT. [11:40] and installed linuxvnc, now i want to start linuxvnc at boot, i made a init.d script but at boot, the boot stop on starting of linuxvnc [11:40] SagittPC: that's a statement, not a question :-) [11:40] (sorry for my bad english) [11:41] SagittPC: Means you got the script wrong, also init.d is deprecated [11:41] SagittPC: does your init.d script return? Or does it run the linuxvnc program until it exits? [11:41] KrisB: X is a whole set of client-server protocols. So, yes, you can connect to a remote X server...but I'm sure I'm glossing over a whole host of technicalities.

[11:43] ah [11:43] thanks :D [11:44] how to get port number of removeable devices? [11:44] CodeGnome: Thank you for the link. :) [11:44] SagittPC: Well, and something along the lines of "start on runlevel [2345]" [11:45] theadmin i can't see linuxvnc.conf [11:45] KrisB: Welcome. X is a bit of a dark art; lots of confusing stuff about it, and 90% of it doesn't matter for routine use. [11:45] i've to make it? [11:46] SagittPC: Well, yes, with two lines, just like this: http://paste.ubuntu.com/1628346/ [11:47] CodeGnome: Yea, yesterday some of users here helped me learn how to disable LightDM when I wish so. So I just simply got confused with all those terms :) [11:48] SagittPC: Then use "sudo start linuxvnc" and "sudo stop linuxvnc" to start/stop it [11:48] SagittPC: Well, "sudo restart linuxvnc" will work too. [11:49] Upstart ftw ;) [11:50] In addition, I'm not one of those guys who don't want to know anything about something as long as it works. I want to know pretty as much as I can. So I'm gonna be a frequent guess on this channel :))) [11:52] KrisB also consider reading books [11:52] where are other people ? === pranav1 is now known as trap24 [11:53] pranav1, this is ubuntu support channel. Have you such a query? [11:53] MonkeyDust - sure, it makes sense to first read something on your own, instead of expecting someone to do all for you, and only when you can't handle it, ask for help. :) [11:54] cfhowlett: 'interface' is missing in wireshark device :/ [11:54] in the capture menu [11:54] trap24: did you run it with sudo? [11:56] theadmin thanks a lot [11:56] works great :D [11:57] Hm [11:57] if i've added the script in init.d and added it to defauls i've to do something to "remove" it? or simply delete the file [11:57] !find linuxvnc [11:57] Found: linuxvnc [11:57] SagittPC: Doesn't that package include an initscript? [11:57] theadmin i don't think [11:58] i've installed it with sudo apt-get install linuxvnc [11:58] trapni: to make wireshark work without it as root in terminal type these commands [11:58] and i can't see linuxvnc in /etc/init [11:58] SagittPC: Oh, hm, okay [11:58] sudo dpkg-reconfigure wireshark-common [11:58] sudo chmod +x /usr/bin/dumpcap [11:59] theadmin sudo update-rc.d linuxvnc defaults^C [11:59] with this [11:59] i've to do something to remove it from update-rc.d?

[12:22] as i think 4.0 is not in the ubuntu repos? [12:22] don't install from a deb file [12:23] why is that? [12:23] aloha [12:23] and you don't know where it's come from / it's configuration [12:23] it won't do dependency matching [12:23] use software from ubuntu repos [12:23] the deb-file is from libreoffice official homepage [12:24] Guys, anyone here running Ubuntu AMI on AWS? I can't manage a webserver to listen on port 80. I'm not sure if is something on the box that is blocking the connections. [12:24] yes, but you don't know who built it, how it's been built, it's compatabilty with your ubuntu version, and it own't pull depedencies [12:24] Or if is something from AWS [12:24] MatheusOl: what do you mean you can't manage it [12:25] hey there guys, anyone able to help someone with fresh headaches after getting a windoze8 installed laptop [12:25] ikonia: It doesn't work at all [12:25] h8ingonwindows: it's called "windows" and the channel for windows support is ##windows [12:25] MatheusOl: so what's the error/problem ? [12:26] need HELP : I have 4TB drive, can not make dual UBUNTU 12.04+W7 . I think I need UEFI +GPT. But confusion is that should I make partition table using liveCD before starting windows install in EFI ? [12:26] MatheusOl start from the beginning, what have you tried before you came here - in one line [12:26] gunn: if you are using GPT, I advise you to make the partition table before installing, that is personal opinion [12:26] yes but im looking to run some form of linx on it and after seeing it is a little more complex to do than before the UEFI issues i thought i would try asking for advice or links to a reliable how to to follow [12:27] h8ingonwindows: so what's your actual question ? [12:27] ikonia: thanks, let me give a try now ! [12:28] Well. I'm trying to run nginx there, and on localhost I can get the response, but from outside (browser, telnet, wget) I cannot, it gives me "Connection refused...". On AWS side, I already configured "Security Groups" to accept port 80. netstat tells me that nginx IS listening on "0.0.0.0:80" (which means all interfaces, not only localhost, right?) [12:28] MatheusOl: correct, so it's most likley firewall somewhere between you/host [12:28] main question would be what is the most up to date method of getting linux onto windows 8 laptop and to save you a headache of explaining to me if there is a good guide you know of i can start from [12:28] One interesting thing is that "nmap" tells me that the port 80 is opened but with STATUS = closed [12:29] i have found a few methods through searching myself on google but thought before i go ahead would ask here [12:29] ikonia: Looks like it is, but I don't know how to correct it [12:29] MatheusOl: find the firewall [12:29] MatheusOl: it's not open then [12:29] h8ingonwindows: Just install Windows first, Ubuntu later. Ubuntu has an automatic partitioning mechanism, so just click "Install Ubuntu alongside Windows" and you're set. [12:29] ikonia: I tried enabling it all with "ufw", but didn't work [12:29] h8ingonwindows: are you using secure boot ? [12:29] MatheusOl: it may not be a local firewall [12:29] MatheusOl: 1.) verify it's listening internally "telnet localhost 80" [12:29] windows is already on it (brand new acer v3 machine) [12:30] MatheusOl: 2.) start tracing the network [12:30] h8ingonwindows: are you using secure boot ? [12:30] Hey all, I've just installed ubuntu on my MacBook 9,2 and I had some issued when I attempted to use apt-get. it stopped at [waiting for headers] and no progress was made. [12:30] ikonia: 1) Checked, and it is Ok [12:30] and i am currently at the secure boot stage which is why im asking as i dont want to mess with things i dont fully understand without first learning about it [12:30] h8ingonwindows: are you using secure boot ? [12:30] ikonia: 2) What is the better way to do this? [12:31] MatheusOl: it's your network - you need to work out how to best trace it [12:31] i have secure boot enabled and uefi enabled in bios at the moment yes, i checked to see [12:31] ikonia: Any clues about a good starting point? [12:31] h8ingonwindows: ok, so there are various limitations and theories about circumventing secure boot - none I trust as mature yet, so the best option is to disable secureboot if possible [12:31] i was also given a link by someone that was regarding the Linux Foundation Secure Boot System Released [12:31] MatheusOl: checking your local and remote network [12:32] MatheusOl: then if they both checkout, it's something in between, in which case it's your ISP's responsibility [12:32] ok well disabling secure boot is easy enough, wanted to double check is not just going to brick a brand new laptop though as you know, moneys not fun to waste === dirtypillows is now known as ShameSpiral [12:34] so from what i understand from looking through many articles is disabling secure boot is the main thing i need to worry about and then learn more as i go from there [12:34] how can i undo what pppoeconf did? now i have no network-applet or anythin related to it. [12:34] h8ingonwindows: why is that a worry ? [12:35] ok well not so much of a worry but i mean as that is the first hurdle i have to jump that windows 8 puts in the way of installing linux [12:36] how can i undo what pppoeconf did? now i have no network-applet or anythin related to it. sorru if this came twice i had connection problems [12:36] ikonia: i was going to use this walkthrough to go about my first attempt http://askubuntu.com/questions/221835/installing-ubuntu-on-a-pre-installed-uefi-supported-windows-8-system would you say that seems fairly reliable [12:36] thanks for answering my savagely nooby questions but i just like to learn [12:37] h8ingonwindows: no, I don't trust that at all [12:37] ok [12:37] Just upgraded to 12.10 and tried to find the Privacy Panel, but can't find it in System Settings (?). I've now purged unity-lens-shopping but I'm not sure where else I should look for? [12:37] (personally [12:37] h8ingonwindows: but it's up to you [12:38] How to turn off iptables? [12:38] MatheusOl: iptables or ufw managing iptables ? [12:38] if you dont mind me asking what do you not trust about it, just that it is a user created guide? [12:38] hi [12:38] h8ingonwindows: referencing external PPA's [12:38] ok thanks [12:39] ikonia: I did "ufw disable", but I'm not sure if it is enough [12:39] dr_willis_, how can I check if the moudles are loaded [12:39] oh man. [12:39] MatheusOl: sudo iptables -L verify your rules [12:40] this seems more legitimate but also delves into language i am not so competent in http://blog.hansenpartnership.com/linux-foundation-secure-boot-system-released/ [12:40] ikonia: I'm really newbie about iptables [12:40] h8ingonwindows: sorry, I'll try to re-state. There are many options, none I consider mature/stable at this time [12:40] ikonia: Would you mind taking a look? [12:40] http://pastiebin.com/?page=p&id=511642120fef9 [12:40] h8ingonwindows: so posting links to me, won't help as my opinion is there is not a mature solution for secure boot [12:40] ok === erry_ is now known as erry [12:41] ok then well thanks for taking time to reply anyway [12:41] ikonia: I created GPT partition table, but not individual partitions for fnts and ext4. Should I create these partitions ? Or just exit the live cd and install windows7 on entire disk using EFI ? [12:41] MatheusOl: sudo iptables -F [12:41] this kind of confirms what i was thinking in the first place [12:41] no room for confusion then [12:41] MatheusOl: flush all rules [12:41] ikonia: let me try [12:41] gunn: I'd create them [12:41] gunn: removes any possible isues with the installer [12:42] * h8ingonwindows shall go back to reading more and such [12:42] ikonia: thanks for your help anyway [12:42] ikonia: agrr.... "Connection refused" [12:42] perhaps it is not iptables' fault so [12:42] ikonia: okay, let me create them and see what happens :) [12:48] I'm using Ubuntu Precise in my laptop.

[15:45] yea [15:45] did u check out what morph3k said about "sudo apt-get install -reinstalll --fix-missing linux-image-3.5.0-22-generic [15:45] morph3k - X: user not authorized to run the X server, aborting. [15:46] sudo startx [15:46] NO [15:46] or sudo start xterm [15:46] I mistakenly uninstalled network-manager when I tried to get my Netgear MA111 usb adapter working using ndiswrapper, and now neither of them work. how do I troubleshoot it? [15:46] forget which one it is [15:46] KrisB: don't do what morph3k is telling you [15:46] zykotick9: okay. [15:46] zykotick9: his x is down [15:46] he needs to start it [15:46] to have a GUI [15:46] wtf are u talking about [15:46] woo and morph3k, that command results in: E: Internal Error, No file name for linux-image-3.5.0-22-generic:amd64 [15:46] war59312: then that is not there [15:46] KrisB: "sudo service lightdm start" to restart Xorg [15:47] he doesnt want lightdm i thought? [15:47] morph3k: ok [15:47] morph3k: is that " -reinstalll or -reinstall? [15:47] KrisB: "startx" _should_ work. but don't use sudo with it! [15:47] woo its --reinstall [15:47] reinstall [15:48] zykotick9: he doesnt have the permissions to do it otherwise [15:48] zykotick9: nah, now it's fine, i just trying figure everything out. Honestly, right now, i want to make compiz effects work. [15:48] KrisB: " grep allowed_users /etc/X11/Xwrapper.config " [15:48] he needs to sudo and chown it [15:48] or that [15:48] morph3k: he doesnt [15:48] what i told him to do would not have broke anything [15:48] but yeah changing the config is better [15:48] Nathasar: you'll have to download the network-manager package from launchpad [15:48] so is it -reinstall or --reinstall? [15:48] i think just -reinstall [15:49] morph3k: Command line option 'r' [from -reinstall] is not known. [15:49] so its two dashes [15:49] morph3k: trying to run xorg with sudo is bound to lead to issues... it's bad advice. KrisB [15:49] war59312: http://askubuntu.com/questions/119080/how-to-update-kernel-to-the-latest-mainline-version-without-any-distro-upgrade [15:49] Nathasar: download the .deb files for your system from https://launchpad.net/~network-manager/+archive/ppa [15:49] did u tr this [15:49] try* [15:49] oh really zykotick9 [15:49] cos i just did it [15:50] Hello. What does a X in a file icon means? [15:50] Nathasar: and install them using 'dpkg -i ' [15:50] morph3k: ok checking that link out, thanks [15:50] war59312, --word -c -h -a -r -a -c -t -e -r -s [15:50] morph3k, its bad advice. lets move on [15:50] lersch: root lock [15:50] it was not the best advice [15:50] escott: what ? [15:50] but it wasnt bad enough advice to break anything [15:50] can we agree to that and move on? [15:50] it means only root has access to it? [15:50] ur making it sound like i was giving him advice that was going to mess him up [15:50] lersch: right [15:50] zykotick9 - i dont want to play with xorg (x server, same thing right?). but what does it do anyways? [15:50] morph3k, just move on [15:50] KrisB: GUI [15:50] its what your GUI runs off of [15:50] war59312, -- before a word argument like "reinstall" - before indiviual characters like -r -e -i -n -s -t -a -l -l === atrius_away is now known as atrius === Masn is now known as Masno [15:51] ! chmod | lersch [15:51] lersch: An explanation of what file permissions are and how they can be manipulated can be found at https://help.ubuntu.com/community/FilePermissions [15:51] KrisB: ya, Xorg is the GUI. that everything runs on. [15:51] war59312, with one dash it thought you meant 9 individual character arguments not one big argument [15:51] lersch: use chown not chmod [15:51] I create this file using open(). My application does not have sudo rights. Why is the file root locked? [15:51] chown -R folder username:username [15:51] ur username [15:52] rather chown -R folder username:username rather [15:52] wait wait [15:52] dont type that === Masno is now known as Masin [15:52] let me figure out what ur trying to change first [15:52] zybotick9 - where to but X server and GUI in this context that you wrote : "KrisB: dm is the login selector, de is the entire "desktop applications set", unity is a "theme" for gnome basically - that happens to use compiz."? [15:52] to put* [15:52] escott: one dash, means each character after _should_ be an individual switch, double dash expect a word as switch. some programs don't follow this convention :( [15:52] !tab > KrisB [15:52] KrisB, please see my private message [15:52] ok lersch chmod it to 755 [15:53] morph3k: y? [15:53] I create a file using open(). If the file does not exist, it is created. But when I try to open it when it already exists, I get EACCES error. [15:53] ahmedipa: did u get it? [15:53] so you can edit it [15:53] actually [15:53] just chmod +x file? [15:53] jsut chmod it to 777 [15:53] then change it back down to 755 [15:53] Why is it created with such rights? [15:53] morph3k thats not good advice [15:53] 777 will let anyone edit it [15:53] as long as u change it back when ur done ur ok [15:53] just dont leave it at 777 [15:54] KrisB: DM -> (starts Xorg) -> DM runs -> DE -> Unity (compiz runs when Xorg starts) [15:54] morph3k: why would you chmod it 777 then at all? [15:54] to edit it [15:54] lersch: how did you generate the file? [15:54] lersch: did you close the first handle before trying open() again? [15:54] open() in a C application [15:54] morph3k: you don't know what you're talking about, please read about permissions [15:54] yes [15:54] llutz: +1 [15:55] lersch: and the application is closed when you try to open later? [15:55] lersch: do you not have sudo [15:55] uh yeah i do [15:55] lersch: use 'ls -l filename' to see the full file description [15:55] morph3k: a hint: if you can chmod 777 a file, you already can edit it [15:55] omg [15:55] rofl that went right past me [15:55] I still have no internet access, and my terminal freezes whenever I do a iwconfig or ifconfig. [15:55] they are right [15:55] sorry [15:55] morph3k: Please don't flood; use http://paste.ubuntu.com to paste; don't use Enter as punctuation. [15:55] zykotick9: I still don't know how to use , sorry. :) [15:55] jcabo_, yes, the application is closed when I try to open it later. [15:55] just enable sudo lersch [15:55] morph3k, I do not have sudo [15:56] whow [15:56] KrisB: in irc type "zyk" and it should autocomplete my nick. if multiple zyk's exist, use tab more then once. [15:56] lersch: can you show us the arguments to open() when you create it? [15:56] when using the 'free' command is the -/+ buffers/cache the one I look at for the actual free memory? [15:56] enable it lersch [15:56] ahhhhh morph3k you would have been an accesory to a crime if lersch accidently broke into a pc [15:56] bruvik: yes [15:56] lersch sudo is installed by default, did you uninstall it for some reason? [15:56] zykotick9, thank you. === jtrucks_ is now known as jtrucks [15:57] I'm having issues binding escape in a c header config file.. [15:57] open(buffer, O_RDWR | O_CREATE | O_DIRECT) [15:57] this is the file permissions: ---------x [15:57] lersch: you need to enable or redownload sudo [15:57] XK_Escape doesn't seem to register ESC but another key [15:58] morph3k: if u dont have sudo then that means ur just a user not an admin [15:58] I do not have sudo rights, this is what I meant. [15:58] yes i know [15:58] yea lersch give them to urself [15:58] lersch: and the files owner and group? [15:58] do you know ur root password? [15:58] recon_lap, what do you mean? [15:58] Ubuntu has no root password [15:58] morph3k, there is none [15:58] i have one on mine ^_^ [15:59] lersch: what happens if you type su in terminal [15:59] morph3k: because you enabled it [15:59] !noroot | morph3k [15:59] morph3k: We do not support setting a root password. You're free to do it on your own machine, but please don't offer instructions on how to set a root password or ask for help with setting it. See !root and !wfm for more information. [15:59] I gave my root a passwd then subverted it then made a user w/no gid. :) [15:59] morph3k, please dont recommend that here, it's completely unneeded [15:59] i ste my root passwd on accident. [15:59] yea i know IdleOne i thought it was normal [15:59] lersch: problem solved, look into 'man 2 open', in the O_CREAT section, there are your access modes [15:59] !wfm [15:59] Common Sense: Just because you can, does not mean you should (and especially recommend to others). Think before you do. "Works for me" does not mean it is ok. The latest version of everything is not always useful if you aim for stability. Please see http://geekosophical.net/random/worksforme/ [15:59] recommend what bazhang [15:59] lersch: an example ----rwxrwx 1 joe users 29 Mar 22 19:39 somefile [15:59] morph3k, enabling the root password. Just Don't. [16:00] zykotick9 - and if LightDM doesnt run (I set "GRUB_CMDLINE_LINUX_DEFAULT="text"") then xorg (which is the GUI) doesn't run either, until I "service lightdm start"? [16:00] bazhang: he didn't from what i see. [16:00] i feel safer with a root pw but whatever [16:00] lersch: and do you know your password? or do you login automatically? [16:00] and all i said was that u can have a root password [16:00] KrisB: correct, that GRUB=text mean "boot to text mode" [16:01] lersch: use open(buffer, O_RDWR | O_CREATE | O_DIRECT, S_IRWXU) [16:01] I am a normal user. I have a login and a password, but no sudo rights. [16:01] lersch: whats it say when u type su into terminal [16:01] rather what does it do [16:01] lersch if you can login, you can use sudo [16:01] bazhang: in a senairo where you have users from all over the world in a cafe using ubuntu. if one of the users hits the power button then uses grub to enter recovery mode you are not prompted for a password. The file system is read only but you are still exposed. How then w/out a root password can I protect my pc? [16:01] MonkeyDust: hes not on sudoers list [16:01] thats what im tryin gto get him on [16:01] lersch: also, maybe the 'umask' is wrong somehow. It controls the permission bits of new files [16:01] lersch: you should be VERY careful with what morph3k is telling you... WARNING [16:02] zykotick9: enabling sudo? [16:02] lersch, look also into 'man umask'. [16:02] really zykotick9? [16:02] why the fuck would u not want sudo enabled [16:02] morph3k, no cursing here [16:02] zykotick9, "unity is a "theme" for gnome basically - that happens to use compiz." if we had another "theme", so it's possible that it would run without compiz? [16:02] KrisB, its a shell, not a theme [16:03] cant cuss [16:03] didnt know this [16:03] no [16:03] KrisB: i but "theme" in quotes, because as bazhang just pointed out - it's really a "shell" [16:03] morph3k: That is the only warning you will get. I trust you read the !guidelines [16:03] s/but/put/ [16:03] zykotick9: why do u think enabling sudo is bad [16:03] im about to IdleOne [16:03] jcabo_, setting S_IRWXU solved my problem. Thank you very much. :) [16:03] lersch: :-) you're welcome man [16:03] has anyone here gotten iTunes to run successfully on Ubuntu? [16:04] morph3k: i don't but you need to boot to recovery mode to add user to sudo group. lersch [16:04] morph3k: we can go to hollywood irc in # political can cuss all we want :) [16:04] no u dont zykotick9 [16:04] (iTunes on Ubuntu through WINE, playOnLinux, whatever) [16:04] type su then visudoers [16:04] morph3k: su.... good heavens. [16:04] visudo === galvao is now known as Guest56210 [16:04] thats how he adds himself to the sudoers list [16:04] morph3k: without sudo rights, that's not going to help [16:04] stop acting like using root is evil [16:05] he uses su, adds himself to sudoers file [16:05] then he has sudo rights [16:05] lol [16:05] morph3k: Enough. Please drop it now. [16:05] SwashBuckla http://www.psychocats.net/ubuntu/itunes [16:05] IdleOne: im sorry but my advice is solid. these guys are tryin gto get this guy to fix something really simple with a lot of more complex things to do [16:05] morph3k, it's sudo visudo [16:05] not if you type su first BluesKaj [16:06] zykotick9, wikipedia writes "desktop shells, such as: Enlightenment DR17, Cinnamon, Beryl/Compiz, Unity" so Unit is a shell, but Compiz isn't. or they both are shells to use somehow? [16:06] hi there [16:06] all you good people [16:06] more bad advice ...this sin't debian [16:06] morph3k: There is the recommended Ubuntu way, and there is the Works For Me way. We use the Ubuntu way in this channel. [16:06] MonkeyDust: my iPod _requires_ resetting with iTunes. [16:06] morph3k: did I call you out on ur -installl? be careful what you type. [16:06] link me IdleOne? [16:06] what are the three top alternatives to etherape ? [16:06] yes woo u did [16:06] happy new year. [16:06] MonkeyDust: if you know of a way of doing this without running the program iTunes, please let me know [16:06] but what i just typed regarding sudo was correct [16:07] crack: you too === Guest56210 is now known as Tonao_35 [16:07] morph3k: Stop please. [16:07] happy new year ( chinese ) [16:07] KrisB: compiz isn't really a "shell" by itself, you typically run somehting else, and compiz on-top of it. [16:07] what are the three top alternatives to etherape ? [16:07] zeddacus: year of the snake? [16:07] i am IdleOne i was just asking if u could show me a link to the ubuntu way [16:07] !best | zeddacus [16:07] zeddacus: Usually, there is no single "best" application to perform a given task. It's up to you to choose, depending on your preferences, features you require, and other factors. Do NOT take polls in the channel. If you insist on getting people's opinions, ask BestBot in #ubuntu-bots.

[16:17] morph3k: i really think it has to do with: /usr/sbin/grub-mkconfig: 237: /usr/sbin/grub-mkconfig: cannot create /boot/grub/grub.cfg.new: Directory nonexistent [16:17] What is adult novelty? [16:17] morph3k: seems it cant find /boot [16:17] war59312: i'm not sure what you are doing, but using a * and dpkg will NOT always work... is there not a repo for the package(s) you're looking for? [16:17] zykotick9: i am simply trying to fix a kernel panic.. see: http://ubuntuforums.org/showthread.php?p=12500489#post12500489 .. [16:18] KrisB: if you see it in Ubuntu documentation, sure. [16:18] war59312: ya, i can't help. good luck. [16:18] is there a simple way to switch ~ and only ~ non-dead key? [16:18] war59312: do [16:18] aptitude search grub [16:19] aptitude search grub* [16:20] zykotick9, I tried this. the display crashes after this command, I only can use terminal. when I type the second time, I can see some effects, (like fancy windows minimazing), when I close terminal, it crashes again, so I need to restart lightdm to see display again. [16:20] KrisB: run it it screen [16:20] KrisB: expect "issues" with ccsm/unity/compiz is all i can say. good luck. [16:21] morph3k - what do you mean? [16:21] run the command but with the word screen in front [16:21] that way when u close the temrinal window it will still run in the background [16:22] KrisB: i doubt gnu/screen is going to let you start compiz. this is more questionable advice. [16:22] it may not idk [16:22] worth a shot though no? [16:22] no [16:22] k [16:22] anyone accustomed to SNMP (and snmpd) ? [16:22] morph3k, please dont suggest things you have no idea about [16:22] morph3k: screen is a terminal multiplexer, nothing to do with gui [16:23] I freshly installed that package but its server crashes [16:23] zykotick9 - start compiz? doesn't it right straight away after Xorg starts? [16:23] ThinkT510: sorry i thought he just needed to run compiz [16:23] is there an etherape like clone wich also gives network visualization ? [16:23] zykotick9: doesn't it run* [16:23] and someone stated in a blog post that it can't find its MIBs [16:23] KrisB: your "compiz --replace" is basically re/starting compiz [16:24] but where would those be located on 12.10? [16:24] KrisB: http://askubuntu.com/questions/127782/ubuntu-12-04-compiz-failure-computer-has-nothing-to-use [16:24] is that what ur looking for? === erry__ is now known as erry [16:24] iftraf does not probe deep enough [16:25] iftop [16:25] i mean [16:25] :P [16:25] here is also another one KrisB https://answers.launchpad.net/ubuntu/+question/194996 [16:25] morph3k: ok lots of results for that command [16:25] i dunno if thats what ur looking for ot not [16:25] or* [16:25] morph3k: This isn't a competition to see who can answer more questions. Quality is more important the quantity. [16:25] yea i know IdleOne thats why i just found those pages for him [16:26] if you don't know, that is fine. no need to try and guess at every question [16:26] ur right [16:26] i sometimes get overzealous because i remember when i first started using linux [16:26] I would like some help about repositories and package management. Suppose I find a package on the ubuntu multiverse like say CERN's ROOT but its pretty old and so I decide to compile my own version. Is there any way I can have my version recognised in apt/synaptic etc [16:26] and people didnt like to help [16:26] so i dont want to see a user not use linux because of these run ins [16:27] anddon, I suppose if you packaged it as a PPA maybe ... [16:27] !checkinstall | anddon [16:27] anddon: checkinstall is a wrapper to "make install", useful for installing programs you compiled. It will create a .deb package, which will be listed in the APT database and can be uninstalled like other packages. See https://help.ubuntu.com/community/CheckInstall - Read the warnings at the top and bottom of that web page, and DO NOT interrupt CheckInstall while it's running! [16:27] thanks ubottu [16:27] anddon: for local-only packages you could try checkinstall, which DJones just linked ;) but don't distribute those DEBs [16:27] DJones, better answer than mine. thanks.

[16:30] cant SwashBuckla [16:30] ninny: i wouldn't recommend morph3k aptitude command... [16:30] well u can run it through wine but it doesnt work good [16:30] like u cant hook ur iphone to it to do anything [16:30] why not zykotick9 [16:31] apparently I don't have super cow powers anyway [16:31] *that's what it says [16:31] This aptitude does not have Super Cow Powers. [16:31] morph3k: read "man apt-get" or "man aptitude" and read what build-dep does. [16:31] ninny: Can you please pastebin the exact error message you are getting, use paste.ubuntu.com [16:31] ninny: that's just a joke about "apt-get moo" [16:32] ok will do === fartofagony is now known as snaker [16:32] morph3k: well thanks for your help but out of time atm... will try again later [16:32] ninny: also aptitude safe-upgrade may install other dependencies u can use....(type man aptitude first to read on it) [16:32] sec llutz [16:32] !aptitude | morph3k [16:32] morph3k: aptitude is another terminal-based front-end to APT.

[16:34] IdleOne: i'd be more interested in "apt-cache policy transmission-daemon" myself ;) [16:34] morph3k: i know what is is, and it has nothing to do with unmet dependencies [16:34] zykotick9: I am guessing we need a dist-upgrade to be ran but want to make sure [16:34] http://paste.ubuntu.com/1629544/ [16:34] IdleOne: perhaps! i just assumed they must be mixing repos. [16:35] apt-cache is good zykotick9 [16:35] thanks for the link btw ninny [16:35] no, thank you for helping [16:35] lluts: what are unmet dependencies ? thanx [16:36] ninny: after the last line there should be a couple more lines. Should look something like 0 upgraded, 0 newly installed, 0 to remove and 0 not upgraded. [16:36] so did u fix it ninny [16:37] ninny: Do you see that last line ? [16:37] no [16:38] ninny: ok, lets try sudo apt-get dist-upgrade [16:38] morph3k, I haven't fixed it [16:38] ninny: pastebin any errors you may get please [16:38] no errors [16:39] IdleOne: u know dist-upgrade will take him to like 12.10 right? [16:39] morph3k: I know it won't [16:39] morph3k, no it wont [16:39] i'm making a ftp portal for ma college and i'm stuck in between. i have to make near about 100 users for remote login having username and passwd admin defined and not as anonymous ..........but i don't know how to make them without making them as my local users [16:39] !dist-upgrade | morph3k [16:39] morph3k: A dist-upgrade will install new dependencies for packages already installed and may remove packages if they are no longer needed. This will not bring you to a new release of Ubuntu, see !upgrade if that is your intention. [16:39] ninny: ok, what was the original problem again? [16:39] crap [16:39] whats the command to do that then? [16:39] i thought thats what dist-upgrade was [16:40] Error mounting: mount exited with exit code 1: helper failed with: [16:40] and upgrade was for packages [16:40] mount: only root can mount /dev/sdb1 on /media/DATA [16:40] morph3k: stop guessing, relax, learn. [16:40] do you know the command im talking about? [16:40] after editing my fstab to automount my second drive [16:40] i ran it on a server of mine once and it took me from 12.04 to 12.10 [16:40] boot failure too, had to restart again [16:40] how could i figured out that issue? [16:40] i thought i did apt-get update && apt-get dist-upgrade [16:40] morph3k: I do, but honestly I am affraid to tell you what it is because I think you may misuse it. [16:40] Sorry, My problem is apt-get is giving me problems, so there's something wrong with the pap's somewhere [16:41] no i have no interest in going to 12.10 [16:41] Hi, i'm trying to apply .diff file to a locally installed duplicity app, and i've no idea where to start. [16:41] id like to know it to make sure i dont do it again [16:41] ninny: what problem exactly? [16:41] morph3k, sudo do-release-upgrade , for development releases , it , sudo do-release-upgrade -d [16:41] it's [16:41] YEAH [16:41] thats it [16:41] thanks BluesKaj [16:41] how do I give FSTAB root abilities to automount my drives? [16:41] i did that once on a server and i was frustrated bad [16:41] this certain script i was using wouldnt work with 12.10 [16:42] had to reinstall [16:42] be careful morph3k ., make sure you have a stable backup OS [16:42] oh im not updating [16:42] im staying on LTS [16:42] i'm making a ftp portal for ma college and i'm stuck in between. i have to make near about 100 users for remote login having username and passwd admin defined and not as anonymous ..........but i don't know how to make them without making them as my local users [16:42] this is my problem [16:42] http://paste.ubuntu.com/1629581/ [16:42] BluesKaj: can you make back ups on a VM? [16:42] DeadWeasel: what do you mean, fstab is used for mountpoints, you don't need to change any permissions [16:42] !fstab | DeadWeasel [16:42] DeadWeasel: The /etc/fstab file indicates how drive partitions are to be used or otherwise integrated into the file system. See https://help.ubuntu.com/community/Fstab and http://www.tuxfiles.org/linuxhelp/fstab.html and !Partitions [16:43] ninny: did you run sudo apt-get -f install ? like zykotick9 had recommended earlier and what was the out if so ? [16:43] ninny: let IdleOne or someone verify but i think apt-get clean && apt-get update [16:43] then run apt-get upgrade [16:43] but make sure thats right with IdleOne [16:43] hello [16:43] /dev/sdb1 /media/DATA fuseblk rw,nosuid,nodev,allow_other,default_permissions,blksize=4096 0 0 ThinkT510 [16:43] do those options prevent me from mounting unless root? [16:43] where to buy VPN ? [16:43] what do I change? [16:44] I took the line from MTAB [16:44] ThinkT510: ^ [16:44] -f gave me this [16:44] http://paste.ubuntu.com/1629588/ [16:44] ninny install transmission-common first [16:44] morph3k, if you have access to a stable drive or partition to store you r data [16:44] ninny: have you tried 'apt-get remove transmission-daemon transmission-common transmission-cli' then afterwards reinstall? [16:44] I use ubuntu 12.04 lts, why does my video run choppy when i try to stream a show? [16:44] jcabo_: good idea :) [16:44] DeadWeasel: ah, sorry i thought you meant you needed to change permissions of the fstab file itself, sorry i've not dealt with fuseblk [16:45] I have but let me do it again [16:45] can anyone help with how to apply a .diff file to locally installed package? [16:45] should be NTFS [16:45] Hi! Doeas anyone have a clue, why qjoypad (to translate gamepad buttons to keyboard presses) is not showing any possibility to configure anything? [16:46] ninny: scroll up a bit and try my way if this doesnt work [16:46] can someone help me with getting video to not be choppy? [16:46] non of the transmission packages are currently installed anyway [16:46] i dont BluesKaj [16:46] i mean i do outside of the VM [16:46] can i back it up outside of the VM? [16:47] morph3k: a backup can be as simple as a copy, you can copy anything [16:47] yea i just had to do a total reinstall of ubuntu on a server last night [16:48] something went wrong and we couldnt figure it out [16:48] ninny: you have to install transmission first before you can install the daemon [16:48] morph3k, like ThinkT510 says , if you have permissions and access [16:49] i dunno how to do it BluesKaj [16:49] ctmjr: but if it needs the transmission dependancy shouldn't it install it? [16:49] hello [16:49] or ask to install it? [16:49] i have a problem [16:50] ninny: the problem is that the version that you have available for transmission-common is newer than the required for transmission-daemon. [16:50] how can i undo what pppoeconf did? now i have no network-applet or anythin related to it. sorru if this came twice i had connection problems [16:50] can someone please help me with my video being choppy? [16:50] morph3k, I use an external drive ..it's a few bucks , but if you intend to do OS testing and experimentation it's worth the price [16:50] i have an external [16:51] is it because i've done a apt-get upgrade? [16:51] i just dont know how to back up linux from a VM [16:51] !backup | morph3k [16:51] morph3k: There are many ways to back your system up. Here's a few: https://help.ubuntu.com/community/BackupYourSystem , https://help.ubuntu.com/community/DuplicityBackupHowto , https://wiki.ubuntu.com/HomeUserBackup , https://help.ubuntu.com/community/MondoMindi - See also !sbackup and !cloning [16:51] can you see the drive in nautlius from the VM , morph3k? [16:51] morph3k: the most important thing is backing up the files you want to keep [16:52] Hi, please how i can print in c unicode char in escape sequence (chars from middle-Europe éíáýžřčšě) printf("%c", '\0x10c') for č doesnt work [16:52] morph3k: most virtualization software allows you to make clones of vms and export them for storage too [16:52] http://www.liberiangeek.net/2012/04/auto-mount-windows-ntfs-partitions-in-ubuntu-12-04-precise-pangolin/ [16:52] helpful for mounting [16:52] ninny: you can try downloading transmission-common directly from: http://packages.ubuntu.com/quantal/transmission-common and then installing it with 'dpkg -i transmission-common.deb' [16:52] jcabo_ [16:52] that isnt the problem [16:52] i just installed the daemon and client [16:53] if it isn't, then I apologize [16:53] I'm running 12.10 [16:53] oh [16:53] transmission-gtk (>= 2.76-0ubuntu0.12.10.1) [16:53] yea 12.10 is messy with a lot of apps [16:53] exit [16:53] exit [16:53] end [16:53] ok so what's the best solution, anyone have any ideas what's actually going on? I need to resolve dependancies with apt-get [16:53] aelgali: Please don't flood; use http://paste.ubuntu.com to paste; don't use Enter as punctuation. [16:54] how can i undo what pppoeconf did? now i have no network-applet or anythin related to it. sorru if this came twice i had connection problems [16:54] network manager probably flintser [16:56] maybe it's my package list? [16:56] morph3k: i know that my network manager is busted, pppoeconf did it and i want to undo and get back tonthe stage before pppoeconf [16:56] back to the* === boot_ is now known as boot [16:56] idk flintser sorry :( [16:57] ninny: most dependency problems are caused by using packages from outside the official repos [16:57] this is the content of /etc/apt/sources.list [16:57] http://paste.ubuntu.com/1629655/ [16:57] ahh ok [16:57] well in my sources.list I don't have any non official repos I don't think [16:57] but I have been adding and removing some of them [16:57] BluesKaj: llutz i dont see anything about backing up ubuntu running on a VM to a real hard drive [16:58] it's just someone said the output of apt-get update didn't look right [16:58] too bad you cant downgrade ninny :( [16:58] morph3k: mount the external, use any of the backup solutions shown, done [16:59] should I switch to debian to avoid stuff like this? [16:59] I can re-install in no time [16:59] no [16:59] well i like debian [16:59] but it can be a little different [16:59] ninny is that your whole sources.list? === Kitar|st_ is now known as Kitar|st [16:59] ubuntu is a debian derivitive [16:59] yeah [16:59] is it wrong? [16:59] yes [16:59] yes [17:00] ninny you're asking to go to the competition ;-) [17:00] very wrong [17:00] ok thought that might be the issue [17:00] wait i'll paste mine [17:00] u should have many more [17:00] hm, this is weird. trying to install 12.04.1 LTS from a pendrive, specified different mirrors and install hangs. [17:00] morph3k: I just installed Cinnamon - i feel more like on Windows now:) [17:00] haha, but ubuntu is from debian isn't it, so more like the daddy... [17:00] hehe its nice then KrisB? [17:00] yes ninny [17:00] ninny: I think I know what your problem is [17:01] I'm an idiot and messed up my sources list :)? [17:01] ninny: http://askubuntu.com/questions/124017/how-do-i-restore-the-default-repositories [17:01] morph3k - yea. so what I did is i just installed a different shell for the same GNOME desktop environment, right? [17:01] ninny: that package, transmission-common-2.76-0ubuntu0.12.10.1, in the pastebin, could only come from one place: https://launchpad.net/~transmissionbt/+archive/ppa [17:01] no [17:01] cinnamon replaces gnome [17:01] ninny: so it follows that you have an extra line in sources.list, or in /etc/sources.list.d/ [17:01] Trying to run backtrack5 on my galaxy s3, this is the script i try running; http://pastebin.com/HZ2kiGNh - the error I receieve back is: bootbt[36]: syntax error: 'if' unmatched [17:01] morph3k: it does not [17:02] ok one sec [17:02] jguy2013, bt is not supported here [17:02] !backtrack | jguy2013 [17:02] jguy2013: There are some Ubuntu derivatives that we cannot provide support for due to repository and software changes.

[17:02] let me re-do the repositories like morph3k said [17:03] ninny: sorry, it's /etc/apt/sources.list.d/ files in there are the same as lines in sources.list [17:03] morph3k: KrisB indeed, unity, cinnamon and gnome-shell are just a shell for gnome :) [17:03] ninny here is my /etc/apt/sources.list [17:03] I'll be back in 5, gotta make the wife a cup of tea [17:03] jguy2013, ask in the bt channel, it s not supported here === home is now known as qleer [17:03] morph3k: cinnamon (not supported here) is a gnome3 fork thats meant to resemble gnome2 [17:03] agh yeah there is stuff in there [17:03] xuangua - any ideas how to make some shell default?

[17:04] I'm trying to compile libsoup from git sources, but pkg-config is not able to find libxml-2.0 (a build dependency), even though I installed the package libxml2-dev. Any ideas?

[17:07] if you install cinnamon [17:07] i do.. [17:07] you can just remove gnome completely right? [17:07] ninny had an extra sources list comming from https://launchpad.net/~transmissionbt/+archive/ppa (which is the only place in the planet with transmission-common with that version) [17:07] morph3k: no [17:07] ffu.. you cant use mine then [17:07] hello, i just installed a 12.10 ubuntu 64bits and he won't shutdown properly or reboot. I try the command line shutdown -h now and reboot but it stucks a the endscreen "ubuntu 12.10" and the 4 dots .. What can i do ? thx :) [17:08] hmmmm in xfce4 what would be the ways to disable keys that control actions such as ALT+F4, ALT+F2, etc ? [17:08] ninny if you have your install media you can copy the defalt sourves list from there [17:08] morph3k no need to, install cinnamon, logout, select cinnamon, login -- cinnamon is a mint thingy, may be buggy on ubuntu -- it was on my machine [17:08] kuun-lann: check the file '/var/log/syslog' and see what happens at the last moment of shutdown [17:08] (trying to build a locked down interface with only 1 running program) [17:08] ah ok thenk [17:09] Hey people!

[17:11] sudo apt-get install cinnamon [17:11] anyone know the command/package that works just like dd [17:11] sudo apt-get my new brain [17:11] probably just using a lot of resources qleer [17:11] unity does that [17:11] i have gnome3 [17:12] yea gnome3 takes resources too [17:12] Hey I've got Juju configured with a local Openstack install and I was able to bootstap successfully... [17:12] ok thx [17:12] might want to try a lighter weight enviroment [17:12] try xfce [17:12] anyone? [17:12] Sorry, wrong channel [17:13] Stygian if something works "just like dd", it would be obsolete [17:13] that's not true [17:13] qleer [17:13] try xfce [17:13] or cinnamon [17:14] it was created by a government lab that pretty much runs just like dd but it zeros out and wipes hdds much faster [17:14] morph3k - still compiz changes do not work. [17:14] morph3k: please don't suggest unsupported environments here [17:14] meaby ... but i see now i use 90% ram and 40% swap - probably i need more ram [17:14] !mintsupport > morph3k [17:14] morph3k, please see my private message [17:14] Stygian "pretty much like" is not the same as "just like", if it worked just like dd, you might as well use dd [17:15] Stygian so, what is it you want to do? [17:15] morph3k: So you're on mint all the time? [17:15] bazhang: i dont use mint [17:15] people on laptops! Write "sudo iwconfig wlan0 power off" to turn off power management [17:15] bekks: no [17:15] Stygian, shred? or something like that? [17:15] but cinnamon can be used on ubuntu [17:15] Thats works! [17:15] not shred [17:15] thx! [17:15] morph3k, dont recommend it here. [17:15] ThinkT510: i just gave him alternatives [17:15] i let him know what was out there [17:15] hes an adult and can decide if he wants to use it [17:15] Hi! I'm running on Windows7 at the moment and I know WUBI allows dual boot with Windows. However, can one boot up from the Ubuntu CD (without Wubi) and install it from thereforth? [17:15] morph3k: you suggested cinnamon, that is not supported here [17:15] morph3k, this channel is NOT for that. [17:16] ok [17:16] seferis yes, it's even preferred over using wubi [17:16] trying to install 12.04.1 LTS, and getting error in console "can't find libnewt0.52" any hints ? [17:16] i already tried different mirrors [17:16] google a download link for it and wget it [17:16] morph3k: the whole point of a support channel is to get support, if he uses something unsupported then we can't give him support [17:16] his problem was gnome3 being to slow [17:17] i told him he should try a different enviroment [17:17] i'm installing from a pendrive created with "lili" using the amd64bit iso file, it unpacked it on the pendrive [17:17] morph3k: then suggesting cinnamon is not a solution [17:17] ThinkT510: in the future if i say something about cinnamon i will make sure to mention that #ubuntu doesnt support it [17:17] morph3k, just dont mention it. [17:17] hi all [17:18] thats smart bazhang dont mention a very nice interface bc ubuntu doesnt fully support it yet [17:18] morph3k that's the reason [17:18] i'm using ubuntu 12.04 and I have this bug https://bugs.launchpad.net/ubuntu/+source/xserver-xorg-video-intel/+bug/993187 [17:19] Ubuntu bug 993187 in linux (Ubuntu Precise) "ubuntu 12.04 completely freezes frequently."

[17:19] I'm trying to setup a dual boot but the live cd doesn't give me the option to install along side windows [17:20] seferis because wubi installs *inside* windows, a normal install does it *alongside* windows, so independent from windows [17:20] so I did some searching and found "fixparts".. and it gave me an error about my disk being gpt, I verifed that by runing "sudo parted /dev/sda unit s print", which sated my partition table was "gpt" [17:20] can somebody tell me what is better, using 12.10 or 12.04 and upgrading kernel [17:20] anyone have some pointers on how I should procede [17:20] larst: depends on what you need [17:20] seferis wubi is also more limited than a normal install, upgrades etc [17:21] ThinkT510: i Need at least linux 3.5 [17:21] ! wubi [17:21] Wubi is an Ubuntu installer for Windows users that allows you to install and uninstall Ubuntu like a Windows application, in a simple and safe way. http://wubi-installer.org/support.php and https://wiki.ubuntu.com/WubiGuide for troubleshooting.

[17:24] kuun-lann: those two lines are the same I have on normal systems that can power off.

I don't know if i have acpi disabled. I can check if you want (i'm on a laptop here) . ACPI needs to be OFF if i'm right ? === mpmc is now known as mpmc|Away [17:26] how do you run iTunes on Ubuntu through WINE, playOnLinux, whatever?

[17:27] jcabo_: mmm no my computer is 2/3 years old approximatively) [17:28] actually [17:28] no [17:28] because I don't have Windows :( [17:28] SwashBuckla: yes, but it will require a windows install disk [17:28] ThinkT510: :( [17:28] screw iTunes [17:28] and MacOS X and Windows [17:28] I wish I hadn't bought this iPod [17:29] jcabo_: i got ACPI 2.0 support and ACPI APIC support enabled in my bios [17:29] SwashBuckla, what model [17:29] kostkon: Shuffle 4th Gen (Dec 2012) [17:29] xastey: can you do a fresh install after wiping the drive ?

[17:30] SwashBuckla, tried with rhythmbox? also, check out floola: http://www.floola.com/ [17:30] kuun-lann: let me keep thinking. In the mean time, a workaround is to do Ctrl-Alt-F1 and then type Ctrl-Alt-Del which will restart the system and you can poweroff in the boot menu by holding the power button [17:31] kuun-lann: can you try turning acpi off? [17:31] xastey: probably want a backup of data, resize the windows partition tomake room for a new ubuntu partition [17:31] i tryc to turn off the two ACPI i told you [17:31] Hello, since 12.10 my script that uses dbus-send stopped working. The problem is that the info inside of ~/.dbus/session-bus/*-0 is wrong. The DBUS_SESSION_BUS_ADDRESS is wrong. Any tips?

THe issue is that I need to reset it [17:33] the shuffle is busted [17:33] recon_lap what i don't get is a screen like so http://leekaelin.co.uk/downloads/TechSpot/Linux_Guides/Ubuntu_11_10/Ubuntu_11_10_Capture3c.JPG [17:34] SwashBuckla, :/ [17:34] im just looking for a ubuntu version with supports a non-PAE cpu. any ideas?

[17:36] So.. uh.. /var/log/cups/error_log is 12.8gb. I am literally out of ssd space. What the hell happened? [17:36] SwashBuckla, have you tried the instructions from apple? http://support.apple.com/kb/HT1655 [17:37] recon_lap should "sudo parted /dev/sda unit s print" say so [17:37] recon_lap: i'm not sure it applies, bug GPT partition don't suffer the 4 primary limit...

[17:38] holy crap error_log has literally filled my hdd. in the space of a few minutes. what on earth. [17:38] but in my "parted" command I'm getting 5 entries [17:38] xastey: then you don't need to worry about 4 primaries :) [17:38] Stygian to show you it's in the ubuntu repos [17:38] oh I know it is [17:38] I just couldn't think of the package [17:39] how can i start an xterm when i login to unity? [17:39] (automatically) [17:40] zykotick9 and recon_lap : so should i just choose "Something else" and create the partitions manually? [17:40] I still wanted to dual boot into windows if needed [17:40] kuun-lann: can you run the following command to get the name of your motherboard? 'sudo dmidecode | grep -i product.name' [17:40] xastey: I personally always go with Something else :) [17:41] Bombo the command to open a terminal is "gnome-terminal" [17:41] Bombo: sidenote - i'd recommend using urxvt over xterm [17:41] I want to install java, is placing the files in /usr/bin a way to go? [17:41] MonkeyDust: how do i start it automatically when i login? [17:41] recon_lap alright .. I'll try that, wasn't to sure on the dual boot setup, every tut i've seen alway had the "Install besides Windows os" [17:41] jcabo_: i check [17:41] zykotick9: how do i start it automatically when i login? [17:41] so now recon_lap, need to figure whats a good way to partition this up [17:42] no matter what term ;) [17:42] xastey: you just got to be careful not to wipe the wrong partitions [17:42] I only need 3 right recon_lap , since I already have an EFI paritition for windows? [17:42] Bombo: ? i wouldn't know. isn't there a startup applications or something in your menu? [17:42] I'm trying to video chat with my gf in Canada. I run ubuntu 12.04 dt and she runs windows vista. Now we have it so I can hear her but she can't hear me. What can we do? [17:42] recon_lap I have an unallocated one [17:43] Bombo : in "dash home" it's "startup applications" [17:43] jcabo_: M4N98TD EVO [17:43] ClientAlive, skype? check your mic input levels [17:44] kostkon: let me check. [17:44] thx === dniMretsaM_away is now known as dniMretsaM [17:44] kuun-lann: ok [17:44] xastey: I'd just create a small swap partition 1.5x Your system ram /swap, a system partition / (at least 40gb), and a user partition for /home [17:45] so 40gb for home cool [17:45] i cant get ubuntu to use swap partition [17:45] zykotick9: nope [17:45] Tex_Nick: not in my language [17:46] recon_lap seems I can reuse my /boot partition I have on windows already [17:46] swapon -s -v [17:46] Filename Type Size Used Priority [17:46] xastey: ??? , don't recommend trying to reuse partitions !!! [17:47] Tex_Nick: ok got it its called 'startprogramme' [17:47] "Since Ubuntu 12.04, it is possible to re-use an existing Windows7 EFI partition (without formatting it). If you use a previous version of Ubuntu, or if you have several installations of GNU/Linux in EFI mode, it is safer to create a new EFI partition EFI." [17:47] Bombo: ok great ;) [17:47] tion_: "grep swap /etc/fstab", "sudo blkid|grep swap" [17:47] recon_lap https://help.ubuntu.com/community/UEFI#Identifying_if_the_computer_boots_the_HDD_in_EFI_mode said it [17:47] Tex_Nick: thx for the hint ;) [17:47] Bombo: np :) [17:47] recon_lap not sure wtf I'm doing here so if its better to not and create my own then I'll do that [17:48] i thought i could just add commands to ~/.xsession [17:49] I'm running ubuntu 12.10 w/ libre office 3.6.6.2. I'd like to upgrade to the new 4.0 release but don't see the 4.0 version in software center ... if I download *.deb from libre office site, is installation smart enough to upgrade instead of have parallel installations? Or do I need to uninstall current version then install 4.0? I see nothing on the libreoffice page about upgrading :/ [17:49] xastey: you and me both :) have not used EFI so I'll have to be quite [17:49] !latest | al__ [17:49] al__: Packages in Ubuntu may not be the latest. Ubuntu aims for stability, so "latest" may not be a good idea. Post-release updates are only considered if they are fixes for security vulnerabilities, high impact bug fixes, or unintrusive bug fixes with substantial benefit. See also !backports, !sru, and !ppa. [17:50] hehe recon_lap alright man I'll just follow this tut, you have been great help so far.. [17:50] al__: remove the installed version of libreoffice first and then install the new one [17:50] you too zykotick9 .. thanks [17:51] going create a / , swap and rest for /home, then use boot-repair for /boot/efi reusing the windows one [17:52] Please tell me is there eny differance in source, between x86 and ARM ubuntu root filesystem source? Is source same for both? [17:52] kuun-lann: I didn't find anything in particular for power-off problems with that motherboard, though I found that there are BIOS updates as recent as january 2012. The ACPI is in the BIOS. Though I cannot recommend doing a BIOS update: http://support.asus.com/Download.aspx?SLanguage=en&m=M4N98TD+EVO&p=1&s=24 [17:52] Help! Last Ubuntu update killed firefox!!! [17:52] ThinkT510: what does that mean? [17:52] xangua: thanks [17:53] al__: it means its best to just stick to whats in the repos === |_ocke2 is now known as |_ocke [17:53] ThinkT510: +1 [17:53] Bombo is this link useful http://askubuntu.com/questions/57098/disable-auto-start-application [17:53] ThinkT510: kk, thanks [17:54] jcabo_: ok i will update my bios and see what happens [17:54] Bombo it explains how to disable an autostart, maybe you learn from it how to enable === aguadito is now known as AusteritySux [17:54] Hello, it seems I've played to much. I realised that I haven't installed my newest drivers for graphic card, now no matter which shell (unity, cinnamon) I run, it is just a background... I still can use terminal . [17:55] mapbaker, what's your problem exactly [17:55] kostkon: firefox crashing on startup [17:56] kostkon: there was an error with flash player during the last updates === chinglish is now known as jjjjj [17:56] kostkon: seems to have affected firefox === jjjjj is now known as chinglish [17:56] mapbaker: start firefox from a terminal and see if there is error output, would be my 1st suggestion. [17:57] chromium also crashing [17:57] mapbaker, like this: firefox -safe-mode [17:57] seems to work in safe mode [17:58] launching firefox from terminal in standard mode returns "bus error (core dumped)" [17:58] zykotick9, no shell works properly (it's just a background ) after installing graphic drivers.. any suggestions? -.- [17:59] KrisB: 1) what video card? 2) how did you install the drivers? [17:59] mapbaker: you should perform a memtest86 run (it is an option in the boot menu) and see if your memory is ok. [18:00] jcabo_ this just started 10 minutes ago after the last ubuntu update and an error with the adobe flash package [18:00] zykotick9 - any command to check it ? (I can't remember it...). I installed it under "Additional drivers" [18:00] KrisB: "lspci | grep -i vga" [18:00] mapbaker: sorry, I just saw the 'bus error' and thought of memtest86 [18:00] jcabo_ gotcha...thank you though! [18:01] zykotick9: 01:00.0 VGA compatible controller: NVIDIA Corporation NV18 [GeForce4 MX 440 AGP 8x] (rev a4) [18:01] KrisB: lol, i've fought with an MX 440 before (and it beat me). sorry, i can't help. best of luck! [18:02] removed adobe flash now firefox is up and running [18:02] going to try to reinstall [18:02] mapbaker: if flash is the problem, you could try removing it from '/usr/lib/mozilla/plugins/libflashplayer.so', then reinstalling 'flashplugin-installer' [18:02] mapbaker, purge the package and reinstall it [18:02] I had to uncheck 'Allow Skype to automatically adjust my mixer levels' and then adjusted mixer levels through my desktop. My levels are all maxed out but she can not hear me still. she say she cannoth find 'Allow Skype to automatically adjust my mixer levels' on her Skype. what to do? [18:02] zykotick9 - is there a way to disable the driver (because I did work when the system didn't have the driver? [18:02] kostkon: K think i'm doing that now... [18:03] barely hear you [18:03] sorry [18:03] ClientAlive, what type of mic are you using? [18:03] internal [18:03] KrisB: yes. from terminal purge the package you have installed, and reinstall the old one? try "dpkg -l | grep -i nvidia" to see what's currently installed. [18:03] brand new lappy [18:04] kostkon: [18:04] sorry [18:04] kostkon, jcabo_: reinstalling flash plugin seems to have fixed the problem... [18:04] ok [18:04] thank you both! [18:04] i hope others don't have the same issue... [18:04] MonkeyDust: thx i got it, works with the 'startprogramme' but also with the file ~/.xsessionrc (instead of .xsession) [18:04] KrisB: actually, it might have been working with nouveau out of the box, so no need to reinstall the old one. [18:05] ClientAlive, are you sure everything is maxed out? [18:05] she says she had majic jack and it messed everything up [18:05] kostkon, jcabo_ thank you both! === mpmc|Away is now known as mpmc [18:05] zykotick9: to install nvidia drivers (propietary) from the terminal, you have to use 'jockey-text' (which is the Additional Drivers command line) [18:05] :-) [18:05] execpt the first tab in the mixer. There are settings which are greyed out [18:05] jcabo_: why, it's a package isn't it? [18:05] only the overlall vol is avail to change [18:05] zykotick9: because it is not enough to install the package. 'jockey-text' must activate it. [18:06] jcabo_: the bios is currently flashing :) [18:06] fingers crossed! [18:06] jcabo_: i find that difficult to believe - but maybe. [18:06] zykotick9: you can have nvidia-96, nvidia-173, nvidia-304 installed altogether, but only one active. [18:07] ClientAlive, what options are there in the input tab [18:07] jcabo_: that's been true since 10.04... [18:07] zykotick9: 'jockey-text -l' to list, and 'jockey-text -e ' to activate. [18:07] kostkon: I'm on that tab and everything is max all the way to the right [18:07] jockey-text takes care of apt-getting and so on. [18:08] I am going to try my external mic [18:08] jcabo_: okay my bios is update. I reboot my system [18:08] good luck [18:09] jcabo_: reboot sucessfull, i try now to shutdown :) [18:09] jcabo_: in fact i have an other idea. BEfore my fresh install i install a voyage 12/04 LTS And i havent problems .So i think i can DL an older kernel and try [18:10] hy how to instal Stage Tarball for ubuntu [18:10] zykotick9, http://pastebin.com/U3SRvqfc [18:10] hatake: Which stage are you talking about? [18:11] hatake you mean how to use tar? [18:11] KrisB: can you use paste.ubuntu.com instead? i don't go to pastebin.com? [18:11] bekks, MonkeyDust like gentoo, just instal tarball [18:11] zykotick9, http://paste.ubuntu.com/1630054/ [18:11] KrisB: thanks. [18:11] hatake: Ubuntu isnt Gentoo. [18:12] !build-essential | hatake [18:12] hatake: Compiling software from source? Read the tips at https://help.ubuntu.com/community/CompilingSoftware (But remember to search for pre-built !packages first) [18:12] hatake https://help.ubuntu.com/community/FileCompression#GNU_Tar_.28.tar.29 [18:12] bekks, I want to install ubuntu as gentoo, so only the Stage Tarball, not already used. iso again [18:12] zykotick9, no problem. :) [18:12] hatake: You cant. Ubuntu isnt Gentoo. [18:12] hatake, what is this Stage you are referring to? [18:12] hatake: There is no Ubuntu stage tarball. [18:13] no boot , i want to install by chroot [18:13] KrisB: so you have nvidia-96 installed, which i believe is correct. you might want to uninstall that and restart your system to get back to the nouveau driver. [18:13] jcabo_: eyh , the computer doesnt shutdown .. But just for fun i try ctrl+alt+del and some ligne appeared upon the purple screen [18:13] hatake, get the minimal cd and go from there [18:13] i want to install gentoo by chroot, no boot again, like gentoo === mpmc is now known as mpmc|Away [18:13] hatake: Then install gentoo. Ubuntu does NOT work that way. [18:13] kostkon, yes already , but .iso file, no tarball [18:13] zykotick9, which command to use to uninstall it correctly? [18:13] kuun-lann: I think your idea of trying a different kernel is the only one left [18:13] hatake, you have to use an iso [18:14] i want to tarball and portage from ubuntu [18:14] hatake what you want, cannot be done in ubuntu [18:14] jcabo_: yeah i try [18:14] kuun-lann: which kernel are you on? try 'uname -a' [18:14] hatake, thats not how ubuntu works [18:14] !debootstrap > hatake [18:14] hatake, please see my private message [18:14] bean, i mean no boot again, just chroot [18:14] jcabo_: i'm on 3.5.0-23 [18:14] !debootstrap > MonkeyDust [18:14] MonkeyDust, please see my private message [18:14] zykotick9, lol [18:14] hatake: There is neither a "stage tarball" nor "portage" in Ubuntu. [18:14] hatake, then debootstrap is the way to go. [18:14] whe said she made a mistake before and uninstalled the input driver was called "Sigma Tel". She tried to reinstall it but it is not completely installed.. Hers is Vista. [18:14] lol [18:15] jcabo_: and i think on my last 12.04 it was a 3.2.24 [18:15] kuun-lann: if you fix it with a lower kernel, (3.2.0...) then it might be a good idea to make a bug report somewhere.. [18:15] KrisB: "sudo apt-get purge nvidia-96 nvidia-common" then restart your computer. [18:15] bean, debootstrap, send link [18:15] people already did, hatake [18:15] kostkon: yes thanks I've tried that. All that does is reboot it. [18:15] !debootstrap [18:15] debootstrap is used to create a !Debian or Ubuntu base system from scratch, without requiring the availability of !dpkg or !APT. It does this by downloading !.deb files from a mirror site, and carefully unpacking them into a directory you can eventually !chroot into. See https://wiki.ubuntu.com/DebootstrapChroot for more information [18:15] kuun-lann: current kernel for ubuntu 12.04 lts is lolita 3.2.0-37 [18:15] hatake read the ubottu link [18:15] I'm trying to use curl to post to ix.io... it does post, but there are 2 problems. 1) When trying to view the posted info I'm forced to download it as a file - it doesn't just simply display it as a page as expected. 2) It keeps using the same URL each time I use the command, instead of generating the next one in sequence like it's supposed to. 3 line script here: http://ix.io/4kk [18:15] SwashBuckla, yeah :/ [18:16] jcabo_: okay but ir emember i didnt have MAJ my kernel on the 12.04 [18:16] MonkeyDust, ok il try [18:16] I <3 the animated series meLon [18:16] !pastebinit | apb1963_ [18:16] apb1963_: pastebinit is the command-line equivalent of !pastebin - Command output, or other text can be redirected to pastebinit, which then reports an URL containing the output - To use pastebinit, install the « pastebinit » package from a package manager - Simple usage: command | pastebinit -b http://paste.ubuntu.com [18:17] I never knew thunderbird had a chat client now [18:17] odd [18:17] I <3 the animated series MonkeyDust [18:17] does anyone know why men menu bars are gone? [18:17] SwashBuckla nice you know it ;) === ke5pcv-away is now known as ke5pcv [18:19] MonkeyDust: 'You have ordered 3 tickets in row Z to see The Scarlet Pimpernell on December 25th. Is that correct? "NOOOOO!" You said Yes. Thank you. We will now reposess your house to pay for the phone bill.' [18:20] SwashBuckla, lets stay on topic please [18:20] i want stage3 on ubuntu ? [18:20] bazhang: sorry [18:20] im trying to get a printer working on ubuntu... canon mg6220 ...is this possible..i dont see any drivers listed on canon page for linux [18:20] whether there [18:20] hatake, no such thing [18:20] bean: ix.io does the same [18:20] hatake: ubuntu is not gentoo! [18:20] apb1963_, but clearly doesn't work how you want. [18:21] hatake: Whatever you want. There is NO stage3 in Ubuntu. [18:21] bean: but does under centOS... so that implies there's something different in how ubuntu handles a formerly working script. [18:21] zykotick9, yes i know, I just asked if there stage3 for ubuntu [18:21] Hello World! I'm new to IRC and the first room I joined is this! [18:21] hatake: ubuntu has NO stage files, that's a gentoo thing. [18:21] eoss, linuxprinting.org , have you checked their database yet [18:21] zykotick9, it worked out. thank you. :) [18:21] and that's what I'm trying to determine [18:21] Hello, all. Another n00b here, too. [18:21] KrisB: nice! [18:21] Welcome, Umair! [18:21] Umair, welcome [18:22] bazhang: i have not, thanks [18:22] apb1963_, have you pastebin'd the script?

Welcome to #ubuntu! #ubuntu-offtopic is another great channel to be in, since there's more chatting there! [18:22] apb1963_, link please, then === johan is now known as Guest20620 [18:22] Umair, not really, it is strictly text based [18:22] zykotick9, - not having newest drivers for graphic vard maybe caused compiz effects to mess around? [18:23] still sounds fun [18:23] [10:12] I'm trying to use curl to post to ix.io... it does post, but there are 2 problems. 1) When trying to view the posted info I'm forced to download it as a file - it doesn't just simply display it as a page as expected. 2) It keeps using the same URL each time I use the command, instead of generating the next one in sequence like it's supposed to. 3 line script here: http://ix.io/4kk [18:23] huge users man! [18:23] Now I'm going to live here for some time [18:23] Umair, ;) [18:23] apb1963_, all i see there is a thing about mysql not connecting [18:23] apologies... a minute please [18:23] bazhang: my printer is not in their database =[ [18:24] KrisB: you might be a bit limited with nouveau... but i never managed to get any propritary driver working with my mx440, so it's better then nothing. i wouldn't recommend compiz for this card myself, YMMV. [18:24] where is the setting to turn on wobbly windows in 12.04?

If you install the latter, a new option will appear in your appearance properties - See also !compiz - Help in #compiz [18:25] zykotick9, i have another Nvidia card, it writes "Model: P83". should it be better? [18:25] bean: did that one come up as a page for you, or did it download as a file? [18:25] downloaded a file [18:25] Yes. So that's one of the problems [18:25] gotta take dinner. I'll be back and discuss my experience with Ubuntu so far. I'm transferred from Unix [18:25] KrisB: sorry i have no idea what a P83 is. you should search online if it has newer support, then the 96 nvidia driver. [18:25] I think this should be the right link: http://ix.io/4kv [18:26] Enjoy [18:26] thanks\ [18:26] KrisB: to install nvidia drivers from the command line, use 'jockey-text'. With 'jockey-text -l' you list the available drivers. With 'jockey-text -e ' you install and activate the driver in one step (remember to reboot after that) [18:26] apb1963_, according to ix.io if you do ix.io/4kv it will download because its raw, if you do http://ix.io/4kv/ it will show it [18:26] KrisB: 'jockey-text' is the command line equivalent of 'Additional Drivers' [18:27] Shutdown is only taking me to the unity-greeter since updates (December 2012).

[18:28] KrisB: use 'jockey -d ' to disable the additional driver (you get the drivername from 'jockey-text -l' [18:29] You're saying I'm missing a trailing slash? [18:29] apb1963_, yes [18:29] where did you see that? I didn't see that on ix.io [18:30] apb1963_, http://ix.io/ under GET [18:30] Question, please...

My /etc/network/interfaces file is: http://pastie.org/6104997 [18:34] however, all i get when i do ifconfig is lo, no eth0 === erry_ is now known as erry [18:34] what am i doing wrong? [18:34] WhereIsMySpoon, do an ifup eth0 [18:34] WhereIsMySpoon: you miss auto eth0 [18:34] bean: cannot find device eth0 [18:34] also, does "netmask 24" work? I've never done it like that [18:34] WhereIsMySpoon: and you should not use ifconfig, but ip [18:34] WhereIsMySpoon, auto eth0 is needed as well. [18:35] WhereIsMySpoon what nibbler says, i was going to say the same [18:35] and broadcast is wrong... or network is wrong ;-) [18:35] bean: so like "auto lo eth0" [18:35] different line [18:35] auto eth0 [18:35] usually you want to split your config up into lines for eth0 and lo [18:35] if i do that it says it cant parse it when i do /etc/init.d/networking restart [18:36] ah wait no, now the parsing errors went away [18:36] bean: like you i question that "netmask 24" but maybe? [18:36] it still says no device eth0 [18:36] WhereIsMySpoon: you are spread over two /24... either go for a 23 bit netmask or fix your addresses [18:36] nibbler: sorry, what? [18:36] WhereIsMySpoon: try 'ifup eth0' [18:36] how can I see my GTK version [18:36] im kinda bad at networking [18:36] and the doubt about CIDR working here is shared by my aswell [18:37] nibbler: what would be the same as 24 then? 255.255.255.0? [18:37] WhereIsMySpoon: your network address desribes a network that is distinct from all our other parameters [18:37] WhereIsMySpoon: about netmask: yes [18:37] I believe that 24 should be 255.255.255.0 [18:37] WhereIsMySpoon: try 'ifup eth0', ifconfig is lower level. [18:37] i'm using Ubuntu 12.10, how can I see my GTK version?

[18:39] jcabo_: http://pastie.org/6105075 [18:39] WhereIsMySpoon: either config eth1 then, or delete /etc/udev/rules.d/*persistent*net* && reboot or fix the file [18:39] WhereIsMySpoon: and your network is still wrong, too (and redundant imho) [18:39] kostkon, Nautilus 3.4.2 :D [18:39] nibbler: ok, i removed the network, it still doesnt find device eth0 on networking restart [18:40] WhereIsMySpoon: I see you have a module there, 'Kernel modules: e1000', so that is ok. [18:40] WhereIsMySpoon: computer restart [18:40] why do i need to config eth1, im doing eth0 o.o [18:40] right, you need restart for udev to regen rules [18:40] jcabo_: its just bad numbering....

[18:50] bean, I do not want to boot anymore, I just want to chroot [18:50] nibbler: right, so i deleted that file then rebooted, ifconfig still only shows lo and no eth0, sudo ifup eth0 still says no such device [18:51] WhereIsMySpoon, ifconfig -a ? [18:51] hatake: lists lo and eth1 [18:51] hatake, https://wiki.ubuntu.com/DebootstrapChroot why not just follow that? [18:52] WhereIsMySpoon: just configure eth1 instead of eth0 [18:52] WhereIsMySpoon, so eth1 no eth0 change [18:52] WhereIsMySpoon: funny.... maybe you are not meant to have eth0, but only eth1 ,-) but just for curiosity: dmesg | grep eth [18:52] WhereIsMySpoon, ifup eth1 [18:52] nibbler: http://pastie.org/6105153 [18:52] lol, renamed eth0 to eth1 [18:53] so it is eth1 [18:53] hatake: http://pastie.org/6105155 [18:53] bean: BAD suggestion [18:53] zykotick9, why [18:53] sweet dual booting works.. kick ass [18:53] bean: oh, you didn't mean the device. sorry. [18:53] bean, on now debootstrap [18:54] hatake, what is your main language? they might be able to help more in that chan [18:54] ifconfig doesnt show eth1, only ifconfig -a, and if i try to bring eth1 up, it says http://pastie.org/6105155 [18:54] i changed eth0 to eth1 in the /etc/network/interfaces [18:54] okay, re-paste your /etc/network/interfaces [18:54] so its using that instead [18:54] bean: i doubt hatake is going to find people who use debootstrap for install in any language. why do it that way, when there is install media available? it's sillyness. [18:55] bean: http://pastie.org/6105171 [18:55] you missed an eth0 [18:55] why do i need eth0, it isnt even here anymore o.o [18:55] This is driving me crazy: in default 12.10 install, firefox has some ubuntu plugin. on start-up, it uses about:startpage.

[19:04] prashant_123456, okay, and can you connect to it from another machine? [19:04] zykotick9: yes I am aware of that.

BAD idea. [19:14] yeah [19:14] Nathasar: internet connection sharing makes windows act as a NAT, but you have to tell it the interface where ubuntu connects [19:14] FaroukBA: sorry wrong nick :( [19:14] steam doesnt want to work [19:14] tex_nick, ok thanks ^^ [19:14] Nathasar: I see. 2 diff machines.

Can you close it with Ctrl-C ? [19:24] jcabo_: yes [19:24] jj1234: Then it doesnt freeze anything. [19:24] Nathasar: It is normal for dhclient to keep running. It is the dhcp client part of the connection [19:25] Nathasar: running dhclient isn't going to work, that's wy you have 169 IPs - there is no DHCP server running. [19:25] Nathasar: if you want to send it to the background, then use the character '&' which returns you to the terminal immediatle, like: 'sudo dhclient eth0 &' [19:25] bean, http://paste.ubuntu.com/1630448/ [19:25] jcabo_: try nm-tool , and pastebin the output [19:26] prashant_123456, is 192.168.1.6 the IP of your machine?

If I use /media as the default nfs point for me servers /media/movies and /media/stuff directories does that mean my USB devices can't use /media? [20:41] basically, does auto.master's syntax "/nfs /etc/auto.nfs" direct it to create /nfs and mount there? then auto.nfs "/media/movies -fstype=nfs4 192.168.1.5:/media/movies" in my case .. would mount /nfs/media/movies? === dirtypillows is now known as ShameSpiral === ericab_away is now known as ericab [20:50] hi [20:51] i need some help with my iscsi san [20:52] Hi everyone!

But I once rescued a bad grub by replacing the files from a different install. I have forgotten the details completely. [21:02] how do you shut down Ubuntu [21:02] Ansikt: Just backup everything important, format the whole disk, if you use all of it, and install everything from scratch. That's the most headache-less answer. [21:02] Halite: man shutdown [21:02] Halite: "sudo shutdown -h now" is one way [21:02] is there a user-friendly way [21:02] hello everyone. I stopped two jobs ctrl z in cli ubuntu linux. How do I find them and either restart the first one or kill it ? [21:02] Halite: sudo poweroff, or sudo reboot is slightly simpler [21:03] Halite: are you using unity ? [21:03] fg just starts the last stopped job [21:03] click the computer on the top left, there should be shut down in the dropdown menu.

[21:16] !clone | wolftune you could try adapting this [21:16] wolftune you could try adapting this: To replicate your packages selection on another machine (or restore it if re-installing), you can type « aptitude --display-format '%p' search '?installed!?automatic' > ~/my-packages », move the file "my-packages" to the other machine, and there type « sudo xargs aptitude --schedule-only install < my-packages ; sudo aptitude install » (this may cause problems with multiarch before 12.10) - See also !automate [21:16] lol [21:16] in theory: If I don't set the root password how can I lock down from any privladge escalation attacks?

[21:28] bonhoeffer have you installed mdadm [21:28] no, it might tell you everything . . . [21:28] zykotick9: I don't think that alone is going to help, but I'll try. It's an onboard wireless card. [21:28] mdadm --assemble --scan [21:28] bonhoeffer: The message is enough. There are not enough disks to reassemble the raid array. [21:28] StuartIanNaylor, no, but is that the recommended way to go [21:29] bonhoeffer: Yes, it is. Using a raid array, you have to reassemble it for using it. [21:29] bekks, ah -- so i need to bring in the other disk as well . . . hmm. this is confusing -- so if one disk went bad, i couldn't get my data? [21:29] yeap I have been at it all day did a upgrade and in livecd can see raid partitions [21:29] was it a raid 0? [21:29] i forget what it was, but in my mind the raid array was mirroring everything exactly [21:29] bonhoeffer: Wrong. All but one disks are "gone" in your case. === O3BEPNH is now known as snqL [21:29] but trying to boot is another matter [21:29] bonhoeffer: Not "just one". [21:29] Wug, yes i believe it was [21:30] using a raid0, you have to have ALL disks. [21:30] raid 0 offers no mirroring, only striping, and is not "true" RAID [21:30] maybe it was raid one then === Dolevoff is now known as Dolev === linuxthefish is now known as linuxthefish` [21:30] Wug: It is a TRUE RAID, according to the definition of a RAID array. :) [21:30] i purchased two disks, put them on my NAS and i was thinking that everything was backed up in two places [21:30] raid1 mirror and your ok raid0 loose one disk lose all data [21:30] bekks: it's not redundant. its just an AID [21:30] I believe it was raid 1 [21:31] bekks: no redundancy = not RAID ;) [21:31] stripe is fast and still raid [21:31] so the recommendation is to plug in the other disk [21:31] zykotick9: Redundancy == 0 ;) [21:31] RAID0 is not raid [21:31] raid0 ain't raid is a bit of a daft statement :) [21:31] !ot [21:31] RAID0 is well defined as being RAID. No argument needed about that. [21:31] #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! [21:31] sorry i don't know my terms, but if it was raid 1, shouldn't i be able to get at the data -- i.e. see it as a mountable drive? [21:32] bonhoeffer: It is missing at least one more disk as the message states - so it wasnt RAID1. [21:32] yeah with a mirror [21:32] it's called raid zero because it's less than raid1, which is the first true raid [21:32] also it should boot [21:32] Wug: Dont argue about a defined standard please. [21:32] bekks, fair enough -- so i screwed up what i understood [21:32] bonhoeffer: Yes.

The phone software is dated June 2011. [23:29] jonboy: create a /srv/disk1 directory, update your fstab, then "sudo mount -a" should do it.

[23:36] jonboy: /srv already exists. so "sudo mkdir /srv/disk1" should work. [23:36] SonikkuAmerica: I have both kubuntu-desktop and ubuntu-desktop packages installed; it doesn't work in either [23:36] jonboy: you can use full paths (starting with /) from anywhere. [23:37] SonikkuAmerica: it was originally a plain Ubuntu (with unity) installation, if it matters :p [23:37] Mathnerd314, no matter how many DEs you have installed, it's the same system. [23:38] Mathnerd314, in Unity, go to System Settings > Bluetooth [23:38] zykotick9: dosent that just create a folder called disk1 in the srv folder [23:38] SonikkuAmerica: yup, been there. [23:38] jonboy: yes, and that's what will be the mount point you put in fstab [23:39] I assume you have Bluetooth turned on on your phone and it's visible. [23:39] jonboy: the mount point needs to exist for fstab to mount to it [23:39] Mathnerd314, I assume you have Bluetooth turned on on your phone and it's visible. [23:39] SonikkuAmerica: yep, I can even transfer pictures. It's the other stuff that doesn't work. [23:39] Mathnerd314, what other stuff? [23:39] SonikkuAmerica: the audio [23:39] zykotick9: AAHH I think I understand fstab is basicly saying mount NAME=dsik1 to /srv/disk1 [23:40] jonboy: bingo!

Though I'm having to do this very often lately and it's rea [23:44] jonboy: what format are the disk(s) your mounting? ext/fat/ntfs? === ericab is now known as ericab_away [23:44] zykotick9: ext4 [23:45] jonboy: nice. you might need to change the permission on the mount point, as well as after they're mounted to be able to have users write to them. === ericab_away is now known as ericab [23:45] zykotick9: your a life saver. worked like a charm [23:46] jonboy: nice :) [23:48] Hi@ [23:48] Hi@ [23:48] How do I bring up eth0:1 using DHCP if eth0 has a static IP from the command line? [23:48] Hi! [23:48] NetFlam: Please don't flood; use http://paste.ubuntu.com to paste; don't use Enter as punctuation. [23:49] Also, is this even the correct channel for my question?

[23:54] Mathnerd314, did you check in System Settings > Sound? [23:55] jonboy: "sudo chmod ugo+rwx /srv/NAME" if you don't need security. if you do you might want to change the owner/group of the folders. === NotProdego is now known as Prodego [23:55] USB mouse and keyboard not working after having recovered from kernel panic.. please see the end of http://ubuntuforums.org/showthread.php?p=12501351#post12501351 .
