| werzer23 | sure I have a ubuntu box on aws and instead of using the elastic ip 123.432.345:8080/q?query_string I would like to just use the ip/q?query_string | 00:00 |
|---|---|---|
| kunji | tama92: Wait what? Umm, could you kind of give a visual representation of your network and what ip things have | 00:00 |
| Sendoushi | smb working oh yeaaaahhh!! | 00:00 |
| tama92 | I'm trying to know why my devices (android phone + tablet) can't connect when my computer's wifi is on :/ | 00:00 |
| matlock | werzer23, what application is serving the content on 8080 | 00:01 |
| werzer23 | bottle.py | 00:01 |
| tama92 | My gateway ip is 192.168.1.254 | 00:01 |
| matlock | there must be some sort of setup in that application to change the port | 00:01 |
| kunji | tama92: and the computers ip? | 00:01 |
| werzer23 | matlock: is port 80 open? | 00:01 |
| tama92 | The computer ip is 192.168.1.42/24 | 00:01 |
| matlock | unless you want to setup port redirection from the outside -> in so it goes 80 -> 8080 | 00:01 |
| werzer23 | on my desktop ubuntu I can open it but I can not user 80 | 00:02 |
| matlock | so you locally see it? | 00:02 |
| matlock | and no access from outside your network will be taking place? | 00:02 |
| kevinch | would it be safe to go rm -rf /var/lib/backuppc after I apt-get remove'd it? | 00:02 |
| werzer23 | matlock: on my local version of the server | 00:02 |
| onitaL | dpkg -S /var/lib/backuppc first | 00:03 |
| tama92 | There are some weird messages with cfg80211 in the logs too | 00:03 |
| kunji | kevinch: Probably, but try an apt-get purge of it first and see if that removes those | 00:03 |
| matlock | still trying to wrap my head around it. is this so you only can access it on port 80? or so that others connecting from outside can access it from port 80? | 00:03 |
| kevinch | okay | 00:03 |
| matlock | cause one has two solutions | 00:03 |
| matlock | the other has one | 00:04 |
| rocky_ | how do i in synaptic package manager, select i386 version to be downloaded? | 00:04 |
| matlock | the one with one, is to find whatever setting defines the port it listens on in the app itself and change that.. | 00:04 |
| kevinch | kunji: dpkg: warning: while removing backuppc, directory '/var/lib/backuppc/pc' not empty so not removed. | 00:04 |
| rocky_ | how do i in synaptic package manager- for a particular package, select i386 version to be downloaded? | 00:04 |
| matlock | the other option would be to use port redirection on your router to nat the request on 80 to 8080 | 00:04 |
| onitaL | lol | 00:05 |
| kunji | tama92: Hmm, so the devices will connect if your computer is not connect? Is your computer doing DHCP maybe? Try and see what dnsmasq is up to on your comp as well. | 00:05 |
| tama92 | How do I do this ? | 00:06 |
| bean | rocky_, just use apt-get and append :i386 on the end of the package name | 00:06 |
| kunji | kevinch: Ok, should be safe to remove, but try just moving the stuff someplace else first, so then you can put it back if there is a problem. | 00:06 |
| kevinch | okay thanks | 00:06 |
| kevinch | that will free up half of my boot drive, excellent | 00:06 |
| werzer23 | matlock: so outside requests only connect to port 80 | 00:07 |
| rocky_ | bean, thank you | 00:07 |
| tama92 | That's what I thought too, but I don't know how to check it | 00:07 |

| bean | werzer23, permission denied when you try to do what? run a server on port 80? | 00:08 |

| * thecodethinker sighs | 00:12 | |
| matlock | holyjunk yall don't have a bot spam trigger? | 00:12 |
| bean | werzer23, yes, using IPtables or any number of other things. I usually use nginx as a reverse proxy. | 00:12 |
| thecodethinker | Senjai: I don't mind if you do that. That's ur job... I mind when you treat me like I don't know what im doing. | 00:12 |

| bean | werzer23, https://help.ubuntu.com/community/Nginx/ReverseProxy | 00:13 |
| Platz | p201: what do you use; why not xterm? | 00:13 |
| werzer23 | I used: sudo iptables -A INPUT -p tcp --dport 80 -j ACCEPT | 00:13 |
| werzer23 | but bottle still says permision denied | 00:13 |
| tama92 | Running ps ax | grep 'dhcp' only return the dhcp-client | 00:14 |
| bean | werzer23, you need to set your bottle to run on 8080, then use nginx or iptables or something to listen on 80 | 00:14 |
| kunji | werzer23: bottle says it? What's bottle? | 00:14 |
| werzer23 | bottle.py | 00:14 |
| werzer23 | server / micro web framework | 00:15 |
| p201 | Platz, sakura as most simple. But urxvt is cery common solution. | 00:15 |

| Platz | p201: cool, thx | 00:15 |
| biglinux-buddha | http://va.mu/cI8c | 00:16 |
| werzer23 | so how do I use iptables to map 8080 to 80? | 00:16 |
| bean | werzer23, i'd recommend using nginx. | 00:16 |
| bean | biglinux-buddha, that isn't very appropriate for here | 00:17 |
| werzer23 | bean: I will use a full scale server when I need it | 00:17 |
| Sendoushi | lets say you want to run a file which does linux functions... is this a shell? | 00:17 |
| tama92 | Nothing in syslog about dns or dhcp :/ | 00:17 |
| biglinux-buddha | ok | 00:17 |
| bean | werzer23, then if you dont need it just connect to it on port 8080. Nginx will forward requests from port 80 to 8080 for you. | 00:18 |
| tama92 | There's a "Key type dns_resolver registered" in dmesg | 00:19 |
| Sendoushi | how can i get the actual folder i'm in? | 00:20 |
| tama92 | Use pwd | 00:20 |
| matlock | Sendoushi, waht do you mean | 00:20 |
| matlock | do you mean navigate there in terminal? | 00:20 |
| Sendoushi | like i'm under /var/www but now i want to mkdir inside that | 00:20 |
| Sendoushi | so i have to do once again /var/www/DIR | 00:20 |
| matlock | you wish to make a file inside www? | 00:21 |
| Sendoushi | i would want a way to get that /var/www which is the actual folder i'm on | 00:21 |
| Sendoushi | yep | 00:21 |
| matlock | mkdir <foldername> | 00:21 |
| matlock | or if that don't work, sudo mkdir <foldername> | 00:21 |
| Sendoushi | yes but that way you have to use the full path | 00:21 |
| Sendoushi | that's what i was trying to avoid | 00:21 |
| bean | no you dont | 00:21 |
| matlock | not if you're in /var/www | 00:21 |
| matlock | type pwd | 00:22 |
| Sendoushi | pwd? | 00:22 |
| matlock | if it doesn't show as /var/www | 00:22 |
| matlock | Present Working Directory | 00:22 |
| Sendoushi | it shows as var/www | 00:22 |
| matlock | pwd | 00:22 |
| Sendoushi | but created the folder on root | 00:22 |
| matlock | did you type mkdir /folder ? | 00:22 |
| matlock | or mkdir folder | 00:22 |
| matlock | there's a difference | 00:22 |
| ParamotopyOA1 | hello, i want to create a disk dump of my new install onto a usb flash drive (so if anything goes down with the fresh install i can bring it back without going through and changing a bunch of configurations). however, i want to make sure that when i mount the drive somewhere that when i do a disk-dump, that directory is not included in the image (otherwise, it'd be this recursive disk dump which would be no bueno). | 00:22 |
| francis | Hi, is there a way to recover or reset a lost keyring password? | 00:23 |
| matlock | ParamotopyOA1, how big is the disk you wanna copy? | 00:24 |
| Janeth | Hi! I screwed my lightDM and now I can't access ubuntu. Also, I've been thinking about making a fresh install of ubuntu, and I'm decided to do that now. But I first want to save my files. I try to access my hard drive using a liveUSB, but I can't mount the partitions... how can I access and save my files??? I noticed I can't install anything when I'm in the liveUSB session... | 00:24 |
| matlock | Janeth, what does sudo fdisk -l show (lowercase L) | 00:25 |
| jhutchins_wk | Janeth: Just work from the console. You should be able to switch to it using alt-F1 even if the DM's messed up. If that fails, boot in rescue or single-user mode. | 00:25 |
| matlock | or that ^^ | 00:25 |
| matlock | lol | 00:25 |
| ParamotopyOA1 | matlock: the disk is set up with a raid configuration and has 186 gigs on it, but after everything was installed and configured properly (or how i want it), a little less than 4 gigs all day. | 00:25 |
| matlock | ParamotopyOA1, and your usb drive? | 00:25 |
| ParamotopyOA1 | 16 gigs | 00:25 |
| Janeth | matlock: with fdisk -l I can see all my partitions | 00:26 |
| matlock | dd if=/path/to/partition of=/path/to/usb/file.img | 00:26 |
| matlock | that's what i would think | 00:26 |
| katy | Hello, each time I install the nvidia drivers for my Macbook Pro either through terminal or Additional Drivers app. Upon reboot I get a black screen. How can I install the proprietary drivers and avoid this issue? | 00:26 |
| isaias | does unity web player work on ubuntu using vbox to run windows 7? | 00:26 |
| tama92 | How can I check if my computer is doing dhcp ? | 00:26 |
| Janeth | jhutchins_wk, when I try to log into ubuntu, i get an error message and I get the option of entering by rescue mode. But It wont enter even if I choose that... | 00:26 |
| matlock | Janeth, and if you mount /dev/to/be/mounted /location/of/mount ? | 00:27 |
| matlock | tama92, wifi or ethernet? | 00:27 |
| matlock | tama92, plug an ethernet cable from a pc to the nic on your box | 00:27 |
| tama92 | Wifi | 00:28 |
| ParamotopyOA1 | right ... but say i have the usb mounted on /myusb ... and i have my hard drive mounted on /, then, creating a disk dump to there will be recursive as it'll follow the link down to /myusb ... no? | 00:28 |
| Janeth | matlock, i tried the command /dev/sda1 but it didn't work. Do I have to enter a location of mount also? | 00:28 |
| matlock | yep janeth, | 00:28 |
| matlock | essentially you would sudo mkdir /media/mountpoint | 00:28 |
| matlock | then sudo mount /dev/sda1 /media/mountpoint | 00:28 |
| isaias | Katy: this worked for me and i dont know how or why. try lowing the screen resolution and color, then installing the drivers. | 00:28 |
| Janeth | ah... ok | 00:28 |
| Janeth | I will try that | 00:28 |
| katy | isaias, thanks ill try that | 00:29 |
| matlock | that may make it read only ... between the mkdir and the mount | 00:29 |
| matlock | do this | 00:29 |
| matlock | sudo chown ubuntu:ubuntu /media/mountpoint | 00:29 |
| matlock | that way the user owns the file, rather than root | 00:29 |
| matlock | and you don't run into permissions issues | 00:29 |
| katy | how low did you set the resolution and color | 00:29 |
| Janeth | do you know why I can't install anything? When I created the live USB I saved some space for files and I've been able to install things before. It feels like I don't have any priviledges... | 00:29 |
| tama92 | What's the "nic on [my] box" ? | 00:29 |
| katy | isaias, how low did you set the resolution and color | 00:30 |
| Janeth | matlock, thanks, i did mount it that way. I will go an save my files :) Thanks! | 00:31 |
| matlock | tama92, the nic is your network interface card | 00:31 |
| p201 | matlock: that's topic about wifi | 00:32 |
| werzer23 | how can I establish an iptables rules script? | 00:32 |
| matlock | yea i read that after i mentioned that | 00:32 |
| tama92 | So I need to plug my laptop to the box using an ethernet cable ? | 00:32 |
| ncp_ | tama92, check /etc/network/interfaces | 00:32 |

| matlock | tama92, and you want which device to be the dhcp server? | 00:35 |
| tama92 | I don't want it to be the dhcp server | 00:35 |
| matlock | you want your router to handle that then? | 00:35 |
| matlock | but for some reason, it's not working propely? | 00:35 |

| Zahid | Katy apparently my graphics card is really unpopular because I cant find any help on the internet :( | 00:39 |
| Zahid | Radeon X600 | 00:39 |
| katy | zahid, yeah the software center | 00:39 |
| Zahid | I'll try that. I'll let u know what happens | 00:39 |
| tama92 | p201 on which device ? | 00:40 |
| isaias | katy: you are using ubuntu, am I right? | 00:40 |
| isaias | katy: what kind of monitor do you have? | 00:40 |
| katy | isaias yeah 12.10 | 00:40 |
| adamk | Zahid: Your GPU will only work with the open source drivers. They should work just fine, though, for a normal 3D desktop experience. | 00:40 |
| p201 | tama92 which run dhcp server | 00:40 |
| katy | isaias, its a macbook pro 6,2 the one that came with it..? its a antiglare one... | 00:41 |
| isaias | katy: ahh, yes xD sorry xD. hmm | 00:41 |
| katy | adamk, how do i know if im getting the full 3D expirence | 00:42 |
| adamk | Well if unity is working with 3D effects, then you know :-) | 00:42 |
| katy | adamk, i;m having trouble after i install the propritary driver. how do i know if it is even necissary? | 00:42 |
| adamk | katy: Double check the output of 'glxinfo | grep -i render' if you want to see if you have 3D acceleration. | 00:43 |
| p201 | tama92 this file contains dhcpd data, so if you whant to know out dhcpd status - "less" it. | 00:43 |
| katy | 3d effects on a 2d monitor? i dont understand | 00:43 |
| adamk | katy: What video card do you have? | 00:43 |
| isaias | adamk: i thought unity didnt support linux | 00:43 |
| tama92 | Yes but it's empty | 00:43 |
| katy | adamk, nvidia GeForce GT 330M | 00:43 |
| adamk | isaias: http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Unity_%28user_interface%29 | 00:43 |
| adamk | katy: Pastebin the output of 'glxinfo' | 00:43 |
| matlock | tama92, i forget which logs contain dhcp request and ack messages, as i use static | 00:43 |
| matlock | but it's there somewhere | 00:44 |
| Nils_ | Hello, I downloaded an executable file but when I try to start it nothing happens. When I right-click it, the menu says that there is no programm to open it. Any advise? | 00:44 |
| Zahid | Guys is it possible to install this driver in Ubuntu, and should I? http://support.amd.com/us/gpudownload/linux/Legacy/Pages/radeon_linux.aspx?type=2.4.1&product=2.4.1.3.12&lang=English | 00:45 |
| adamk | Zahid: Again your GPU will only work with the open source driver. At least on any modern Linux distribution. Period, end of story. | 00:45 |
| katy | adamk, it says glxinfo is not installe should i run : apt-get glxinfo? | 00:45 |
| matlock | Nils_, this executable that you downloaded, what's the extension? | 00:45 |
| matlock | or is there one at all.. | 00:46 |
| isaias | katy: my problem had also to do with my monitor. every time I installed the graphics drivers my whole screen went black and i had to reinstall ubuntu. it had to do with the screen resolution and my tv. but lowering the resolution worked for me, but I was using an HDTV | 00:46 |
| Nils_ | .x86 | 00:46 |
| tama92 | the file is empty, should I conclude that the dhcp server is not running ? | 00:46 |
| onitaL | katy, apt-get install mesa-utils | 00:46 |
| adamk | katy: glxinfo is part of the mesa-utils package. | 00:47 |
| adamk | 00:47 | |
| katy | isaias, so would you get that issue if u used a differnet monitor | 00:47 |

| Zahid | Sorry adam I had missed your previous message. So do I need to install the open source driver? Or it's already preinstalled on ubuntu | 00:47 |
| isaias | katy: I havent had a problem since, and I've used 3 different monitors, then again I only installed the drivers once :P | 00:48 |
| adamk | Zahid: It's installed and used by default. | 00:48 |
| Nils_ | Already checked | 00:48 |
| adamk | Zahid: In other words, there is likely nothing wrong with your current setup. | 00:48 |

| bean | tama92, are there other networks in the area? | 00:50 |

| katy | isaias, do you think i should try lowering my resolution and then install? | 01:02 |
| Mk558 | I found a guide to make 12.04 look like 10.04, which i'll have to make look like 9.10. Ahhhhh | 01:02 |

| isaias | but i was having the same problem, the screen going black affter installing the driver | 01:04 |
| katy | adamk, so there is no reason to install the nvidia driver? which would seem to imply that I shouldn't install the nvidia driver? | 01:04 |
| adamk | I can't say if you should or should not install the proprietary driver. It certainly has it's advantages, but I don't know if the open source driver suits your needs. | 01:05 |
| katy | adamk, would the safest bet be to install it? like is there some functionality i'm leaving on the table? | 01:06 |
| cjfs | the nvidia drivers do bad things with my 660ti system | 01:06 |
| adamk | katy: You'll have to research that yourself. | 01:06 |
| cjfs | games won't launch, screen resolution won't change, random crashes, it scared me | 01:07 |
| kunji | Mk558: Yeah, I'm saying you should probably upgrade, since it's getting to be end of life. Don't know about how you would make it look the same though, sorry. | 01:07 |
| Mk558 | sad. I liked 9.10, the UI, a lot. | 01:08 |
| SonikkuAmerica | Installing gnome-panel is about the only way I can keep my sanity intact. (Seeing 'System' in Apps though...) | 01:08 |
| Mk558 | I know you lot likely get tired of hearing about tirades about how GNOME 3 sucks or "Down with Unity!" but it's true. | 01:08 |
| Mk558 | I would happily get 12.04LTS if it only looked like it has been for the past...decade? | 01:09 |
| STMelon | you can | 01:09 |
| kunji | Mk558:Hmm, well, Unity isn't the only option, there's also XFCE, LXDE, etc.. I miss gnome 2 as well, but it's end of life. | 01:10 |

| shed-34046 | Does anybody here know how my friend running ubuntu can run my visual basic 2010 html viewer program? He tried to open in wine but it didn't open | 01:12 |
| bean | shed-34046, It's hard to say how that'd work, wine isn't always 100% compatible with windows exes | 01:13 |
| Mk558 | I tried installing netatalk from source and --- well, there should be a $5K award for the first to do it | 01:13 |
| shed-34046 | bean do you have wine installed maybe you can see if my program opens for you? | 01:13 |
| Mk558 | talk about hard. (Not via sudo apt-get install netatalk) | 01:13 |
| gswain | are there any good solutions to make an ubuntu clone cd like kubuntu without X and without letting the installer create a user? | 01:13 |
| bean | shed-34046, I'm not on ubuntu at the moment. You could install an Ubuntu VM and see for yourself though. | 01:14 |
| SonikkuAmerica | gswain: There's an Ubuntu minimal ISO | 01:14 |

| * bean has 16gb, but is on windows at home, only ubuntu server at work | 01:15 | |
| shed-34046 | Mk558 another reason i don't run vms on this machine because umm the processor is an amd tf-20 | 01:15 |
| Mk558 | I've ran VirtualBox under OS X 10.5 while testing out 10.04LTS | 01:16 |

| kunji | ErickLee: What kind of programmer? Also though, this sounds like something for #ubuntu-offtopic | 01:17 |
| gswain | kunji: i guess no problem if i could do that programatically from the cd, basically im creating a router with a web front end. I wont be the only one installing it, I want them to be able to have access to the web interface but not the console | 01:19 |

| z3br0id3 | portugal hmm | 01:21 |
| kunji | gswain: Ah, I see what you mean, well, you're building your own cd anyway right? Since you need to include your programs and stuff. So why not include a small script or program that runs on boot, removes the default user, gets info for the new one, creates it, and then sets an environment variable that it checks to determine if it should run or not then next time, or something like that? | 01:22 |
| katy | i'm determined to install the proprietary nvidia driver on my macbook pro. however, each time i do it my system boots to a black screen. even worse when i add nomodeset to the grub options i still get a blackscreen. how can i resolve this? | 01:22 |
| gswain | yea i could do that I was just wondering if there were any ubuntu utilities like fedoras respin that allowed you to rebuild your own server images? | 01:24 |

| katy | kunji: i am able to install the driver. its just once i do it i cant see my desktop. only black. | 01:31 |

| katy | sorry sudo apt-get install nvidia-current-updates | 01:31 |
| katy | not that i remember... | 01:32 |

| kunji | katy: Why use an additional app? | 01:33 |
| kunji | katy: Are you talking about jockey? That functionality has been moved to software sources, they should operate the same way though. | 01:34 |
| katy | kunji, if i install the driver. i wont be able to acces my desktop when i reboot. are you saying i should do the install to see if i get an error. and then do a purge nvidia before rebooting? | 01:35 |
| katy | i was talking about the "Additional Drivers" app. avialbe through the Ubuntu Software center | 01:35 |
| kunji | katy: That's one option, it's a warning, but also there is a workaround that can work for that warning. | 01:35 |

| kunji | katy: I'm trying to see if I can find anything about that error, the module is failing to load, which explains the black screen when you boot. | 01:58 |
| kunji | syntroPi: Umm, shouldn't you not restart that until the module is loaded, won't it not help anything at this point? | 01:58 |
| syntroPi | katy ok wait with what i told you about that ctr alt f1 dont do it yet | 01:59 |
| syntroPi | katy have you looked in dmesg ? | 01:59 |
| katy | ok waiting | 01:59 |
| syntroPi | enter dmesg and see for nvidia module messages | 01:59 |
| katy | i havent looked there. | 02:00 |
| syntroPi | maybe there is a hint what going wrong | 02:00 |
| syntroPi | also you can look at "cat /var/log/Xorg.0.log" | 02:00 |
| dhanusherly | ? | 02:01 |
| katy | http://paste.ubuntu.com/1635149/ | 02:02 |
| katy | i think thats all of it i couldnt go up any further | 02:02 |
| katy | ill get u the other one now. | 02:02 |
| syntroPi | katy seems device is busy on other driver? | 02:03 |
| syntroPi | maybe nouveau | 02:03 |
| syntroPi | katy, 3842.750801 | 02:03 |
| katy | http://paste.ubuntu.com/1635154/ | 02:03 |
| numberto | Hi guys, can I have bumblebee and cuda both working on ubuntu | 02:04 |
| katy | syntroPi: im sorry what do u mean by 3842.750801? | 02:04 |
| kunji | katy: Ah, actually syntroPi may be onto something there, try doing ctrl+alt+f1 login to the non-GUI terminal and try the command there. | 02:04 |
| syntroPi | katy if you are sure you have nvidia hw present "lspci | grep nVidia" then you can look if nouveau module is loaded "lsmod | grep nouveau". if so you have to quit x session, unload it "sudo rmmod nouveau" and load nvidia then "sudo modprobe nvidia_current" then restart x session . that you can do from tty1 | 02:04 |
| syntroPi | but the gui will get lost | 02:05 |
| syntroPi | so prepare and write down those cmds | 02:05 |
| syntroPi | brb | 02:05 |
| katy | awesome thanks for the solution. i have to apologize as that was a little over my head. can you duumb it down some for me :) | 02:06 |
| kunji | katy: Yeah, go with what syntroPi said. I think he knows this better than I do. | 02:06 |
| katy | ok thanks for ur help | 02:07 |
| kunji | katy: So ok, lsmod | grep nouveau will show if the open source driver is in use | 02:07 |
| kunji | katy: If it is, it may be in the way of loading the proprietary driver | 02:07 |
| katy | http://paste.ubuntu.com/1635164/ | 02:08 |
| kunji | katy: So we need to do it from a non graphical interface, which we can go to using ctrl+alt+f1 | 02:08 |
| crazybrain | Is there any network monitoring tool avaliable in Ubuntu? | 02:08 |
| kunji | crazybrain: etherape is a good one | 02:08 |
| katy | ok cool. ctrl+alt+f1 doesnt seem to do anything for me. I'm using a macbook pro btw. | 02:09 |
| crazybrain | kunji: but i use wifi | 02:09 |
| STMelon | crazybrain: wireshark | 02:09 |
| crazybrain | kunji: how to configure it for wifi | 02:09 |
| kunji | katy: Oh right, it's probably cmd(apple key?)+alt+f1, and the same with f7 to go back to the GUI | 02:09 |
| kunji | crazybrain: I don't remember it having problems with wifi | 02:10 |
| kunji | crazybrain: What kind of monitoring do you need to do though, if for a network of servers or something, then you might want to look at nagios | 02:10 |
| syntroPi | katy, you will loose your gui when you kill x session so if your irc client is on that laptop you will disconnect | 02:12 |
| katy_ | kunji: hey its me :) ok so now im in a black screen it prompted me to log in and i did | 02:12 |
| syntroPi | ok | 02:12 |
| katy_ | couldnt figure out how to exit so i just jumpted on my other compl | 02:12 |
| katy_ | *computer | 02:13 |
| syntroPi | your gui session is on ctr alt f7 | 02:13 |
| syntroPi | katy, in the black screen: enter "sudo service lightdm stop" | 02:13 |
| katy | got it thanks | 02:13 |
| katy | so what should i do | 02:13 |
| katy | ? | 02:14 |
| aeioufy | Where is the most secure place to dl lubuntu from? | 02:14 |
| kunji | katy: Did you stop lightdm yet? | 02:14 |
| syntroPi | in tty1 (ctr alt f1) do "sudo service lightdm stop" to kill your x server session (gui will get lost then) | 02:14 |
| katy | ok im gonna do it now. ill keep tlking to u from katy_ | 02:14 |
| syntroPi | then "sudo rmmod nouveau" | 02:15 |
| kunji | syntroPi: You've got this then, I'm gonna get some sleep. | 02:15 |
| syntroPi | then "sudo modprobe nvidia_current" | 02:15 |
| syntroPi | then "sudo service lightdm start" | 02:15 |
| xangua | aeioufy: ubuntu.com | 02:15 |
| katy_ | ok i did the light dm stop | 02:16 |
| syntroPi | katy_, "sudo rmmod nouveau" "sudo modprobe nvidia_current" "sudo service lightdm start" and login | 02:16 |
| syntroPi | katy_, lightdm in one word | 02:16 |
| katy_ | got an error | 02:17 |
| syntroPi | which one? | 02:17 |
| katy_ | module mouveau is in use | 02:17 |
| syntroPi | try to make sure you didnt mistyped lightdm | 02:17 |
| syntroPi | katy_, in the tty1 (ctr alt f1) "sudo service lightdm stop" "sudo rmmod nouveau" "sudo modprobe nvidia_current" "sudo service lightdm start" and login | 02:18 |
| katy_ | i think i got it right? the output is "stop: unknown instance" | 02:18 |
| syntroPi | hmm what did you typed exactly? | 02:19 |
| katy_ | sudo service lightdm stop | 02:19 |
| syntroPi | weird do you still have gui ? (ctrl alt f7) ?? | 02:20 |
| katy_ | im on a mac if i press (fn+option/alt+command+f7) the command line goes away the screen is still black | 02:21 |
| katy_ | and has text | 02:21 |
| katy_ | it is | 02:21 |
| john_redmond | hello room | 02:21 |
| katy_ | starting anac(h)ronistic cron anac(h)ronistic cron | 02:22 |
| katy_ | checking battery state | 02:22 |
| syntroPi | katy_, so your tty7 had gui but not now? then you should be able to unload that nouveau module "sudo rmmod nouveau" | 02:22 |
| katy_ | startting crah report submission daemon | 02:22 |
| Rehan | Hi everyone. How good do newer AMD video cards (i.e. HD7870 or 7950) do with Ubuntu? | 02:22 |
| katy_ | i typed that and hit enter | 02:23 |
| katy_ | but it just went to the next line | 02:23 |
| syntroPi | yes that correct | 02:23 |
| john_redmond | does anyone know when ubuntu will have libre office 4 in the software center? I hate tar balls | 02:23 |
| === filipe is now known as z3br0id3 | ||
| katy_ | syntroPi: ok so did i just enter a command? it doesnt seem like it. what next? | 02:24 |
| === FreakingTrot is now known as RealTeaIsMLM | ||
| syntroPi | katy_, you typed "sudo service lightdm stop" and hit enter? | 02:24 |
| katy_ | well before yes. i just entered it again and nothing happened | 02:25 |
| syntroPi | ok now try "sudo rmmod nouveau" | 02:25 |
| syntroPi | in tty1 | 02:25 |
| katy_ | still at black screen with a flashing white '_' where i can type and if i hit enter it goes to the next line but nothing else | 02:26 |
| katy_ | im sorry what is tty1? | 02:26 |
| syntroPi | ctr alt f1 | 02:26 |
| syntroPi | or your mac combo | 02:26 |
| katy_ | oh ok | 02:26 |
| katy_ | which command first? | 02:26 |
| katy_ | nope still get the same error | 02:27 |
| katy_ | im gonna try and stop the blacklight again | 02:27 |
| syntroPi | something is using the gui then | 02:27 |
| katy_ | sry lightdm stop | 02:27 |
| syntroPi | blacklight? | 02:27 |
| katy_ | sorry :) | 02:27 |
| syntroPi | katy_, in the tty1 (ctr alt f1) "sudo service lightdm stop" "sudo rmmod nouveau" "sudo modprobe nvidia_current" "sudo service lightdm start" and login | 02:27 |
| syntroPi | thats how i always do that | 02:27 |
| burrito_ | can anybody tell me if the common lamp-server that is installed to Ubuntu via tasksel as ANY support for sqlite?? | 02:27 |
| burrito_ | or sqlite3, i mean?? | 02:28 |
| katy_ | yeah i see what ur saying. unfortunaly like u said it appears that something is using the gui. what could that be | 02:28 |
| katy_ | ? | 02:28 |
| big_mike | try ps -e | grep X | 02:29 |
| katy_ | big_mike, was that dirrected at me? | 02:29 |
| big_mike | katy_ yep sorry | 02:30 |
| syntroPi | hmm im not sure, since we closed x session with stopping lightdm (which is default on ubuntu 12.04 or 12.10). maybe you are using gdm or kdm instead? if so try "sudo service gdm stop" or "sudo service kdm stop" | 02:30 |
| katy_ | nig_mike "no command 'try' found" | 02:30 |
| katy_ | *big_mike | 02:31 |
| syntroPi | katy_, " ps -e | grep X" | 02:31 |
| dima__ | "no command 'try' found" :) | 02:31 |
| katy_ | hahah ok | 02:31 |
| big_mike | katy_ yeah i meant what syntroPi said | 02:31 |
| dima__ | only "ps -e | grep X" | 02:31 |
| big_mike | ^_^ | 02:31 |
| katy_ | alright it worked | 02:31 |
| big_mike | what did it say? | 02:31 |
| syntroPi | what did it say? | 02:31 |
| katy_ | nothing... | 02:31 |
| devslash | I'm looking at setting up a linux distro with a couple of requirements. I want the file system to be encrypted and I'd like something like Tor available with all internet connections routed through it. Is it easy to set up something like this in ubuntu ? | 02:31 |
| syntroPi | katy_, so no Xorg running there... | 02:32 |
| katy_ | ok. | 02:32 |
| syntroPi | hmm big_mike any idea what could be using nouveau with no Xorg? | 02:32 |
| burrito_ | devslash have you looked into tails linux?? | 02:32 |
| devslash | no | 02:32 |
| syntroPi | katy_, maybe even a simple reboot could solve all this... did you had any problems with booting? | 02:33 |
| big_mike | the tty's maybe? | 02:33 |
| big_mike | i dunno | 02:33 |
| burrito_ | devslash you will want to check it out and really get to know it. Once you've gotten accustomed to it, you'll see there are tons of possibilities as to what you can do with it.. it's also very torrified.. | 02:33 |

| Neobenedict | better? | 02:36 |
| katy_ | big_mike unforunatly these is a hardware issue with my optical drive. i have a bottable usb. | 02:37 |
| burrito_ | devslash, i keep a usb driver with tails installed w/ persistence and an encrypted partition on it.. i believe that you can however install liberte to a hdd if you wish.. | 02:37 |
| burrito_ | dima__ thanks, you wouldn't happen to know if this is a common issue on hosted servers would you?? | 02:38 |
| syntroPi | katy_, maybe you need to unload another module which is using nouveau first? is that "lsmod | grep nouveau" still exactly the same output as you posted here: http://paste.ubuntu.com/1635164/ | 02:38 |
| onitaL | katy_, do you have a lot of data already in that install? | 02:38 |
| katy_ | no it has change. one sec | 02:39 |
| GeekSquid | Neobenedict: sounds like you either have an unsupported video card, or you don't have the appropriate drivers (proprietary) for the card in the computer, steam requires a lot of resources to run and basic built in onboard video cards don't work with steam | 02:39 |
| syntroPi | katy_, i suspect some other module is blocking the nouveau unload... | 02:39 |
| Neobenedict | GeekSquid: i'm on a VM i already said that | 02:40 |
| Neobenedict | my computer has a gtx 460 so it's fine | 02:40 |
| katy_ | onital, not really any... | 02:40 |
| onitaL | if nor, I think reinstalling would be better IMHO | 02:40 |
| katy_ | sytroPi, i cant cop paste as i am tlking to u on a dif computer. | 02:40 |
| onitaL | and make the installer workout the video driver | 02:40 |
| syntroPi | katy_, yeah but can you see what changed? | 02:41 |
| syntroPi | compare | 02:41 |
| devslash | burrito_: i think that tails won't fit my needs. it seems too complicated to install to a are drive | 02:41 |
| Rehan | what is the support like on ubuntu for the latest amd video cards? (i.e. 7870 or 7950) | 02:41 |
| katy_ | ok the only thing that changed is the column of sigle digit numbers. the are now (top to bottom) 3,1,2,7,2,1,2,3 | 02:42 |
| katy_ | onital: how would i go about doing that? | 02:42 |
| katy_ | syntroPi: did that make sense? | 02:43 |
| onitaL | katy_, I mean start all over | 02:43 |
| katy_ | i've done that several time today. | 02:43 |
| syntroPi | katy_, those are the same? | 02:43 |
| katy_ | this is a fresh install | 02:43 |
| onitaL | katy_, oh | 02:43 |
| katy_ | aah im sorry. it is currently: 1,1,2,4,2,1,2,3 | 02:44 |
| dima__ | burrite_, yes it's common issue | 02:44 |
| syntroPi | katy_, those are the numbers "used by" so try reading which modle is using nouveau right now | 02:44 |
| syntroPi | should only be one module now | 02:45 |
| syntroPi | before it were 3 modules | 02:45 |
| radac | hi, anyone know how to enable the penguins on boot which represent the cores of your cpu? (ala slackware) | 02:45 |
| katy_ | first line is: nouveau 896008 1 | 02:45 |
| GeekSquid | Neobenedict: sounds like you are trying to do something bleeding edge in my opinion, I will stop at this point ... Technically steam is a virtual machine in and of itself so running a VM within a VM and expecting it to run flawlessly with full GL is more than I would expect from a VMVM, Play games on hardware - program them on hardware - and serv the engine via a VM or many... Either way this is either a graphics/VM problem and offtopic for ubuntu, pl | 02:45 |
| katy_ | is that what u need? | 02:46 |
| syntroPi | katy_, means nouveau has size 896008 and used by one other module | 02:46 |
| syntroPi | but which one? | 02:46 |
| katy_ | got it | 02:46 |
| syntroPi | we need to unload that to make rmmod nouveau possible | 02:47 |
| katy_ | well. how do i know? there is nothing else on the first line, and the same 7 lines bellow. will different "used" numbers as before but otherwise the same | 02:47 |
| katy_ | yeah i understand | 02:47 |
| katy_ | *with different "used" numbers... | 02:48 |
| katy_ | i'm sorry if im missing something really odvious. but it doesnt seem to indicate which module is useing nouveau | 02:49 |
| syntroPi | katy_, your "sudo lsmod | grep nouveau" yields exactly this output now right? http://paste.ubuntu.com/1635224/ | 02:49 |

| STMelon | aeioufy: you need to have patience, and give ppl time to help you instead of getting upset and leaving rooms .. we do not know the specs of your netbook, without that we cannot make a safe assumption what will and will not work... | 02:57 |
| STMelon | most likely, it will | 02:57 |
| aeioufy | Ok, sorry. | 02:57 |
| STMelon | you can run it in live mode to see as well | 02:57 |
| p201 | katy_ sorry, what inputted command was? | 02:57 |
| STMelon | give you a chance to get used to it and see if it does work | 02:57 |
| aeioufy | I'll have to look into live mode. | 02:57 |

| devslash | if I'm installing ubuntu on a system with 8GB ram, would it be a good idea to use a 64 bit version of ubuntu ? | 02:59 |
| STMelon | if you use the lts version (current is 12.04) | 02:59 |
| katy_ | yes it has an output | 02:59 |
| katy_ | it is the same as | 02:59 |
| katy_ | http://paste.ubuntu.com/1635224/ | 03:00 |
| Em_ | devlash: I'm also a newbie but I think that like Windows, 32 bit can only utilize 4gb of ram. Since you have 8GB it would be better to install the 64bit | 03:00 |

| katy_ | i got a: warning: module off not found | 03:02 |
| big_mike | aeioufy, sorry? | 03:02 |
| devslash | mandoguit: When I tried to download the 64 bit the filename said ubuntu filename is ubuntu-12.10-desktop-amd64.iso. My processor isn't an amd | 03:02 |
| amiu | ? | 03:02 |
| amiu | amd won the race to 64bit standard so they got to name it | 03:03 |
| devslash | is that the wrong download ? | 03:03 |
| aeioufy | I just noticed there is lubuntu 12.10 Should I go with 12.04 for my netbook? | 03:03 |
| Physicist | How can I uninstall steam and all games? | 03:03 |
| syntroPi | katy_, did you run "sudo modprobe -r nouveau" and then got that msg? what does "lsmod | grep nouveau" say? still in use? | 03:03 |
| devslash | so that is the right one ? | 03:03 |
| amiu | no amd64 is the correct 64 bit version unless you have an old Intel Itanium (server proc) | 03:03 |
| big_mike | devslash, that doesnt matter. that's just the label for 64 bit, it works with intel and amd and anything else out there that supports 64 bit | 03:03 |
| devslash | ok | 03:03 |
| mandoguit | Em_: might want to install this little prog http://code.google.com/p/inxi/ take a look at the screen shot to see what kind of infor (including drivers) is included. nifty util, imhlo | 03:04 |
| devslash | have you guys run into issues with apps being written for 32 but only / | 03:04 |
| devslash | ? | 03:04 |
| STMelon | aeioufy: 12.04 is the long term support, which is 5 years | 03:04 |
| p201 | syntroPi same modules list | 03:04 |
| aeioufy | Ok, thanks. | 03:04 |
| mandoguit | devslash: that one will work fine | 03:04 |
| katy_ | syntroPi i ran the modprobe and got the warning. then if i run lsmod | grep the output is still this: | 03:04 |
| katy_ | http://paste.ubuntu.com/1635224/ | 03:04 |
| amiu | not on ubuntu. i found the 64bit version of System Rescue CD is useless. otherwise if its 64bit, your better off with a 64bit OS | 03:04 |
| aeioufy | with 12.04, will I have to re-partion before or after I start to install it? I have win 7 as my primary os since I've only been learning linux for 3 days. | 03:05 |
| STMelon | you shouldnt, the installation should do that for you. it will ask you if you want to install along side of windows | 03:05 |
| amiu | you will want to do that partitioning in gparted when you boot from the disk but before you start the install process (select try, not install) | 03:06 |
| syntroPi | p201, how did that runlevel stuff worked again? "sudo init <number>" ? | 03:06 |
| devslash | have you guys run into issues running apps on a 64 bit os because the app was written for 32 bit only ? | 03:06 |
| amiu | devslash, not on ubuntu. i found the 64bit version of System Rescue CD is useless. otherwise if its 64bit, your better off with a 64bit OS | 03:06 |
| STMelon | devslash: you can install ia32-libs | 03:06 |
| amiu | in fact i have run into more trouble running 32bit ubuntu on 64bit cpu. (amd graphics driver required 64bit OS) | 03:07 |
| Fels | devslash, shouldn't be an issue unless using speicific 32 bit libs that are not installed | 03:07 |
| aeioufy | The setup for lubuntu is just like ubuntu? | 03:07 |
| amiu | the setup process is the same yes aeioufy | 03:07 |
| p201 | syntroPi telinit | 03:07 |
| aeioufy | Thank you. | 03:08 |
| syntroPi | p201, does ubuntu even use runlevels? not sure | 03:09 |
| amiu | no | 03:09 |
| amiu | no run levels in ubuntu. i've only seen that in slackware and gentoo | 03:09 |
| aeioufy | Last question, sorry. Will running lubuntu save my pc from a lot of wear an tear that microsoft brings upon it such as overheating? | 03:09 |
| SonikkuAmerica | aeioufy: Not to mention Lubuntu = Ubuntu + LXDE | 03:09 |
| syntroPi | katy_, is nouveau listed in "cat /etc/modprobe.d/nvidia-graphics-drivers.conf" ?? | 03:09 |
| syntroPi | katy_, like "blacklist nouveau" | 03:10 |
| amiu | there have been overheating problems with 12.04 and 12.10. a workaround has been to have the fan run more often. other than that ubuntu gives less wear and tear on the hard drive | 03:10 |
| aeioufy | sonikkuamerica, what does that mean? | 03:10 |
| SonikkuAmerica | aeioufy: CPU = processor. | 03:10 |
| aeioufy | I am a mct student. | 03:10 |
| uw | anyone play kerbal space program successfully in linux? | 03:11 |
| aeioufy | <SonikkuAmerica> aeioufy: Not to mention Lubuntu = Ubuntu + LXDE | 03:11 |
| katy_ | yes | 03:11 |
| katy_ | it is listed | 03:11 |
| katy_ | just like that | 03:11 |
| iorweth | uw: yeah, no problem! | 03:11 |
| katy_ | it is the first one | 03:11 |
| xangua | aeioufy: it means what it says :) | 03:11 |
| SonikkuAmerica | !lxde | aeioufy, first read this | 03:11 |
| aeioufy | !lxde | 03:11 |
| SonikkuAmerica | Fail. | 03:11 |
| SonikkuAmerica | !notunity | 03:11 |
| uw | thanks iorweth everything works right under wine? | 03:11 |
| ubottu | Ubuntu 11.10 and higher use GNOME 3 with the !unity shell by default. To use GNOME Shell instead, install the "gnome-shell" package and investigate "gnome-tweak-tool". For GNOME Fallback mode, which is similar to GNOME 2, install "gnome-panel". Both packages will place entries in the Sessions dropdown. Using Natty? See !classic | 03:11 |
| big_mike | katy_ have you tried blacklisting nouveau and rebooting? | 03:12 |
| syntroPi | katy_, i think it wouldnt be loadad then when you do a reboot. but i guess that is what you tried before (unsuccessfull) | 03:12 |
| uw | iorweth, i think i'm having issues zooming when building the rocket | 03:12 |
| SonikkuAmerica | Still? This is bad. Someone refresh me on the !command for alternative DEs. | 03:12 |
| amiu | lubuntu doesnt include the Amazon adware. not sure if it uses the zeitgeist spyware. i havent run lubuntu since version 11 | 03:12 |
| Physicist | !steam | 03:12 |
| ubottu | Valve have officially announced that they are developing Steam and are working with !ubuntu during their devlopment, see http://blogs.valvesoftware.com/linux/steamd-penguins/ for further details, see https://wiki.ubuntu.com/Valve for install instructions, you can also join #ubuntu-steam for discussion. | 03:12 |
| syntroPi | katy_, so we need to find out which other module is conflicting there | 03:12 |
| iorweth | uw: i havent experienced any errors | 03:12 |
| katy_ | ok got it. | 03:12 |
| p201 | amiu syntroPi sorrym whats wrong? u can boot to single mode or get into one with telinit. | 03:12 |
| uw | iorweth, ah gotcha. can i ask what version of wine you're using? | 03:13 |
| SonikkuAmerica | !lubuntu | 03:13 |
| ubottu | lubuntu is Ubuntu with LXDE instead of !GNOME as desktop environment, which makes it extremely lightweight. See https://wiki.ubuntu.com/Lubuntu - /join #lubuntu for lubuntu support. | 03:13 |
| katy_ | I don't know if that is what i tried. but yes the original issue was that i boot to a blackscreen upn reboot after installing the driver | 03:13 |
| syntroPi | katy_, maybe try to change to single mode like p201 said | 03:13 |
| SonikkuAmerica | !lubuntu | aeioufy, try that | 03:13 |
| ubottu | aeioufy, try that: please see above | 03:13 |
| aeioufy | !lubuntu | 03:13 |
| katy_ | sytroPi, ok. how do i do that? | 03:14 |
| iorweth | uw: 1.5.23 | 03:14 |
| syntroPi | katy_, maybe that i915 is related or the other backlight stuff | 03:14 |
| aeioufy | I think that is it. | 03:14 |
| aeioufy | Will be using xchat in the future. | 03:14 |
| aeioufy | Thanks. | 03:14 |
| SonikkuAmerica | aeioufy: And just like all the other DEs, sans KDE, it's GTK-based, so it's compatible with most of the stuff you can run in plain ol' Ubunut. | 03:14 |
| SonikkuAmerica | *Ubuntu | 03:14 |
| ad5300 | Hi, I just did a fresh install of 12.10. My system is using Gallium llvmpipe instead of the intel driver. It is unbearably slow. Lenovo IdeaPad Y570 w/ SandyBridge Core i7. Help? | 03:14 |
| aeioufy | Ok, keep in mind I only have 2 and a half days experience with linux. Thanks. | 03:15 |
| aeioufy | This is fun. | 03:15 |
| uw | thanks iorweth i'm at 1.4 so i may be a little old | 03:15 |
| katy_ | maybe, to be honest i didnt really understand what you meant tho... | 03:15 |
| Fels | i want to develop software on Ubuntu and was advised to look at Python - is there a specaial flavour or version for ubuntu? | 03:16 |
| syntroPi | katy_, im not sure about those apple macbooks backlights did you try to google for your model name and backlight nvidia ubuntu? | 03:16 |
| moondoggy | Can anyone recommend a stable flowchart/diagram drawing tool for Ubuntu? | 03:16 |
| aeioufy | A year from now I should be at a gui'less stage. | 03:16 |
| moondoggy | Having a hell of a time finding a good one. | 03:16 |
| amiu | Fels, any ubuntu is fine for development | 03:16 |
| ad5300 | Fels: python is the same across platforms. It is a scripting language; it is interpreted. | 03:16 |
| SonikkuAmerica | !ide | Fels | 03:16 |
| ubottu | Fels: Programming editors/suites: Terminal-based: vi/vim, emacs - KDE: Kate, KDevelop, Quanta+, Umbrello - GNOME: gvim, gedit, anjuta, pida, monodevelop, geany - Others: eclipse, netbeans, qtcreator | 03:16 |
| katy_ | if im understanging u correctly, no i dont believe i have | 03:17 |
| katy_ | this is a macbook pro 6,2 ill do it now | 03:17 |
| SonikkuAmerica | Fels: It doesn't list IDLE, which is made specifically for Python. | 03:17 |
| iorweth | uw: may be. You could try to use a later version. | 03:17 |
| syntroPi | katy_, is there any driver loadad "lsmod " which is listed in cat /etc/modprobe.d/nvidia-graphics-drivers.conf except that nouveau? | 03:17 |
| Fels | ok - and all free :) is there a python tutorial ? | 03:17 |
| phong_ | why ubuntu always crash? | 03:17 |
| phong_ | the 11.10 and up is not good | 03:18 |
| ad5300 | Also, related to the bug I mentioned above, compiz is eating all of my cpu. CPU usage seems to be always at least 60%. I think this is a bug or something. | 03:18 |
| iorweth | uw: the wine version testet on winehq is 1.3.26 | 03:18 |
| phong_ | it keep asking me to send error report | 03:18 |
| phong_ | are there problems with ubuntu ? | 03:18 |
| katy_ | the next line is "blacklist lbm-nouveau" | 03:18 |
| phong_ | not use to be that stable | 03:18 |
| katy_ | is that what you mean? | 03:18 |
| katy_ | there are another 6 or so lines | 03:19 |
| amiu | the error reporter is more aggresive about reporting errors than in previous versions | 03:19 |
| katy_ | one of them "blacklist nvidia-current-updates" which is a lot like the command i used to install the driver | 03:19 |
| p201 | katy_, sytroPi So, let's try to reboot and boot to single mode? That's should be most fast way to know out what the problem is. | 03:20 |
| BoUrJI | can any one help me here | 03:20 |
| amiu | with what?> | 03:21 |
| syntroPi | katy_, also read this http://choppit.blogspot.de/p/ubuntu-1204-precise-x64-on-macbook-pro.html | 03:21 |
| BoUrJI | am trying to install psybnc | 03:21 |
| BoUrJI | look what it give me | 03:21 |
| KxTwo | so I have zsnes installed and it worked until I rebooted. Now it crashes when I click on it. I can run it form terminal with sudo though. Is there a way I can run it graphically without terminal? | 03:21 |
| katy_ | p201, im down to try anything. what do i need to do? | 03:21 |
| SonikkuAmerica | KxTwo: Set up a launcher for it. (Reply "how?" if you need help.) | 03:21 |
| amiu | zsnes does not work under ubuntu 12 as far as i know. | 03:21 |
| KxTwo | how? | 03:22 |
| KxTwo | well let me google first | 03:22 |
| katy_ | syntroPi, got it thx. | 03:22 |
| SonikkuAmerica | KxTwo: Good call. Hopefully Google has a search result for it. | 03:22 |
| amiu | KxTwo, there are other emulators that do work under ubuntu 12 | 03:22 |
| syntroPi | katy_, found it like "www.google.com/search?q="macbook+pro+6%2C2"+nvidia+backlight+ubuntu" | 03:23 |
| KxTwo | zsnes is for ubuntu it worked fine on install but then I rebooted and it works just has to be launched through terminal | 03:23 |
| syntroPi | katy_, but try to do what p201 said | 03:23 |
| syntroPi | brb | 03:23 |
| l057c0d3r | wow the strangest thing... my mupen64 emulator started acting up today.. i've just finished installing compiz.. it works fine in a window.. but go full screen and it gets all messed up looking | 03:23 |
| amiu | KxTwo, i had to go with a different emulator as zsnes does not work with the current ubuntu at this time | 03:23 |
| l057c0d3r | so figured oh its probably because of compiz.. so disabled composition... | 03:23 |
| KxTwo | amiu, im using it right now it works | 03:24 |
| l057c0d3r | and restarted emu.. and it did it in window and full screen mode.. turn comp back on and only in full screen.. weir right | 03:24 |
| p201 | katy_ reboot and choose "recovery mode" in grub. | 03:24 |
| p201 | katy_ then add "single" to kernel options | 03:24 |
| katy_ | ok, im on it | 03:24 |
| p201 | katy_ like here https://help.ubuntu.com/community/UpstartHowto | 03:24 |
| l057c0d3r | yeah was going to say zsnes works fine for me | 03:25 |
| amiu | KxTwo, thanx. i tried a few days ago and zsnes had no option to install as it was not compatible. | 03:25 |
| amiu | i'd prefer to run zsnes so thats great news | 03:25 |
| KxTwo | amiu, sudo apt-get install zsnes:i386 | 03:26 |
| l057c0d3r | yeah bsnes lagged so bad.. ut zsnes is good.. | 03:26 |
| p201 | syntroPi and now, what do u think, why can't we rmmod module? | 03:26 |
| KxTwo | and it was working fine and still does but before I rebooted I just double clicked on the icon, now I have to sudo it | 03:26 |
| l057c0d3r | if you can not get it through the repos to work.. as a few of my friends have had... | 03:26 |
| l057c0d3r | they just used windows version on wine and said it worked great as well | 03:26 |
| katy_ | p201, im booted to recovery. do i select one of the options from the menu? | 03:27 |
| p201 | as i remember, u can press "e" to edit options | 03:28 |
| amiu | KxTwo, right click on the icon -> properties -> change the command adding gksudo as the first command | 03:29 |
| katy_ | i did that. i added "single" to the end of the linux line. and now i see the menu that i always see for recovery | 03:29 |
| amiu | gksudo zsnes | 03:29 |
| KxTwo | right click does nothing | 03:29 |
| syntroPi | p201, i suspect another module uses nouveau and therefore it couldnt be rmmod'ed but on a reboot it shouldnt be loadad since blacklisted | 03:29 |
| amiu | oh ur right.... i was right clicking on a desktop icon | 03:29 |
| syntroPi | p201, just hope her backlight comes on | 03:30 |
| katy_ | its on.... | 03:30 |
| p201 | so... | 03:30 |
| katy_ | syntroPi & p201, i added "single" to boot options in grub. it booted i see the menu. should i make a selection? what next? | 03:31 |
| amiu | KxTwo, if you have alacarte installed (main menu) you can modify the shortcut with that | 03:31 |
| KxTwo | I don't | 03:31 |
| KxTwo | I guess im stuck running from terminal | 03:31 |
| big_mike | katy_ just see if nouveau loaded with 'lsmod | grep nouveau' | 03:31 |
| katy_ | options are: resume, clean, dpkg, failsafex, fsck,grub, network, root, systm-summary" | 03:32 |
| amiu | sudo apt-get install alacarte <-- this would be the easiest way to modify with out manually editing configs | 03:32 |
| katy_ | big_mike: by selecting the "root" option to get a command prompt. correct? | 03:32 |
| big_mike | katy_ yeah | 03:33 |
| katy_ | ok the output of lsmod | grep nouveau is: nvidia 11257760 0" | 03:33 |
| katy_ | no quote tho | 03:33 |
| syntroPi | katy_, grep for nouveau listed nvidia? | 03:34 |
| big_mike | yeah that one confused me too | 03:34 |
| Kevin` | Press I to ignore, S to skip mounting, or M for manual recovery | 03:34 |
| Kevin` | Spawning maintenance shell | 03:34 |
| Kevin` | I can't type anything after pressing m | 03:35 |
| syntroPi | katy_, is there the word "nouveau" in that line ? | 03:35 |
| syntroPi | cant be | 03:35 |
| SonikkuAmerica | Kevin`: What happened? | 03:35 |
| katy_ | sorry nope. there was no output at all | 03:35 |
| syntroPi | ok good | 03:35 |
| syntroPi | then nvidia is loaded and no nouveau | 03:35 |
| Kevin` | SonikkuAmerica: http://pastebin.com/EhegpSHe | 03:35 |
| big_mike | that means youre good | 03:35 |
| DaemonicApathy | Why do I have 12.04.2? | 03:35 |
| katy_ | so we're done?! | 03:36 |
| syntroPi | katy_, big_mike but nvidia isnt used yet "0" | 03:36 |
| syntroPi | so can we start lightdm from here? | 03:36 |
| syntroPi | idk | 03:36 |
| big_mike | syntroPi no its single user | 03:36 |
| big_mike | you'd have to reboot | 03:36 |
| Kevin` | DaemonicApathy: what are you expecting to have? | 03:36 |
| SonikkuAmerica | Kevin`: That's weird. | 03:37 |
| DaemonicApathy | 12.04.1, until 2/14 | 03:37 |
| katy_ | big_mike: but will i be able to reboot if nvidia isnt being used yet? | 03:37 |
| Kevin` | I remember reading that they changed the number in the packages before release for some reason | 03:37 |
| Kevin` | (before the installer images release) | 03:37 |
| Kevin` | SonikkuAmerica: weird how? | 03:38 |
| big_mike | katy_ wait did you say earlier that you blacklisted nvidia? | 03:38 |
| syntroPi | katy_, maybe try a normal reboot now... if it doesnt work (no backlight) you can try to add those options i gave in the link http://choppit.blogspot.de/p/ubuntu-1204-precise-x64-on-macbook-pro.html | 03:38 |
| syntroPi | when you resume to that mode you are in now | 03:38 |
| SonikkuAmerica | Kevin`: It seems it can't find your / | 03:38 |
| SonikkuAmerica | (top directory) | 03:39 |
| katy_ | big_mike, i don't know. what is blacklisted? | 03:39 |
| syntroPi | big_mike, nvidia-current blacklisted nouveau i think | 03:39 |
| katy_ | syntroPi: so ur saying if i reboot and it doens't work ill still be able to ge to a command prompt and from there i can try what thi srticle suggest? | 03:39 |
| SonikkuAmerica | !blacklist | katy_ | 03:40 |
| ubottu | katy_: To blacklist a module, edit /etc/modprobe.d/my_blacklist.conf and add « blacklist <modulename> » to the end of that list - To explicitly load modules in a specific order, list them in /etc/initramfs-tools/modules and type « sudo update-initramfs -u » | 03:40 |
| SonikkuAmerica | Well that doesn't define it | 03:41 |
| SonikkuAmerica | but it keeps a module from loading. | 03:41 |
| syntroPi | katy_, as you did right now... you did get cmd prompt didnt you? | 03:41 |
| syntroPi | wait one sec | 03:41 |
| Kevin` | SonikkuAmerica: what makes you say that? is that the error code fsck.btrfs would give?.. how does it know it's btrfs if it can't find it | 03:41 |
| Kevin` | and actually, isn't fsck done AFTER the initrd? | 03:41 |
| big_mike | katy_ yeah try rebooting and see if nvidia loads up | 03:41 |
| katy_ | yeah, through single user mode at least. so im gonna try a regla reboot then | 03:41 |
| codepython777 | whats the correct way to replace/update from openjdk to oracle jre? | 03:42 |
| SonikkuAmerica | Kevin`: I thought so... | 03:42 |
| syntroPi | katy_, "find /etc/modprobe.d -type f -exec grep -n -H nvidia {} \;" looks if nvidia is blacklisted somewhere | 03:42 |
| syntroPi | katy_, but i dont think it is | 03:42 |
| Kevin` | anyone know why I can't type anywhere for this 'maintenance shell'? I tried on the console, and looking for anything interesting on all of the vga vts | 03:42 |
| Kevin` | well, the 1-12 ones | 03:42 |
| syntroPi | katy_, since it loadad now | 03:42 |
| xangua | codepython777: uninstall openjdk and install sun java | 03:42 |
| jackyyll | can someone tell me how to install this ppa of rtorrent extended? I added the PPA and add-apt-repisotory said all was OK, then apt-get install rtorrent and it still is the same normal rtorrent | 03:43 |
| codepython777 | xangua: what packages do i need to install for openjdk? | 03:43 |
| katy_ | ok so i booted and the 5 dots icon came up. then my sreen went black | 03:43 |
| big_mike | katy_ can you get into a tty? | 03:44 |
| syntroPi | katy_, hmm then its probably the backlight stuff. you also can try to add "nomodeset" to the kernel parameters in grub (like you did before) | 03:44 |
| katy_ | well if i can, i still cant see anything on the screen | 03:44 |
| katy_ | ok ill try. unfortunaly nomodeset hasn't been working for me at all | 03:45 |
| syntroPi | katy_, so backlights are off (no shimmering through even on black screen)? | 03:45 |
| katy_ | nope nothing. p201 had me add "single" before. is that what you meant or should i try nomodeset first | 03:46 |
| jackyyll | anyone? :3 | 03:46 |
| katy_ | sytropi: do u still want this "find /etc/modprobe.d -type f -exec grep -n -H nvidia {} \" | 03:46 |
| syntroPi | is backlights shimmering through black screen? | 03:46 |
| syntroPi | nope | 03:46 |
| katy_ | not that i could see. its off ow tho about to boot | 03:46 |
| syntroPi | katy_, you are on 12.04 x64 right? | 03:47 |
| katy_ | no 12.10 x64 | 03:48 |
| syntroPi | katy_, ok but still you can try in single mode (as before) "sudo nano /etc/rc.local" | 03:48 |
| Kevin` | # fsck.btrfs /dev/otto/root | 03:48 |
| Kevin` | Segmentation fault | 03:48 |
| syntroPi | katy_, reboot in that single mode | 03:50 |
| katy_ | ok | 03:50 |
| syntroPi | does anyone know if "$backlight_brightness" variable is set in "/etc/rc.local" ? | 03:51 |

| anrope | Hi. I'm dealing with ubuntu 11.10. I'm trying to increase open files limit for a process run by root. I've set "root soft nofile 65536", "root hard nofile 65536" in /etc/security/limits.conf. I've added "session required pam_limits.so" to /etc/pam.d/common-session*. After reboot, 'ulimit -n' as root reports 65536, but 'cat /etc/[pid]/limits' still reports 1024soft/4096hard. Is there something else that could be limiting the | 03:51 |
| anrope | number of open files? | 03:51 |
| syntroPi | katy_, do you have cmd prompt? | 03:51 |
| katy_ | yup | 03:52 |
| syntroPi | katy_, do "cat /sys/devices/virtual/backlight/apple_backlight/subsystem/gmux_backlight/brightness" | 03:52 |
| syntroPi | use tab to complete | 03:52 |
| katy_ | ok instead of this article? http://choppit.blogspot.de/p/ubuntu-1204-precise-x64-on-macbook-pro.html | 03:54 |
| syntroPi | yes try that cmd first | 03:54 |
| syntroPi | katy_, do "cat /sys/devices/virtual/backlight/apple_backlight/subsystem/gmux_backlight/brightness" | 03:56 |
| katy_ | syntroPi: "cat: /sys/devices/virtual/backlight/apple_backlight/subsystem/gmux_backlight/brightness: No such file in directory" | 03:56 |
| syntroPi | hmm ok "lsmod | grep apple_gmux" | 03:57 |
| Rehan | what is the driver support like on ubuntu for the latest amd video cards? (i.e. 7870 or 7950) | 03:57 |
| katy_ | syntroPi: ok there was no output | 03:58 |
| katy_ | do i run the cat command again? | 03:58 |
| syntroPi | katy_, "sudo modprobe apple_gmux" first then do cat again | 03:58 |
| katy_ | ok there was no output again. now im gonna run the cat command | 04:00 |

| Dii_Pundiih | Hi. i just installed lubuntu 12.04 on a laptop and looked a film when the cord jumped out and the mashine shutdown.. now it says that it cant mount /dev/disk/by-uuid/838a...... on root failed invalied argument. and that it cant mount /dev /sys /and /proc on /root and that target dont have recuested /sbin/init Try passing init= bootarg. What should i do? | 04:02 |
| kunji | katy_: Run just "ls /sys/devices/virtual/backlight/apple_backlight/subsystem/gmux_backlight/" | 04:02 |
| syntroPi | sorry dc again | 04:03 |
| syntroPi | katy_, did that gmux module load | 04:03 |
| katy_ | no worries. thanks for being so patient with me btw | 04:03 |
| kunji | syntroPi: That article looks like they might be creating the file, it doesn't need to already exist for > to work | 04:03 |
| katy_ | kunji: " ls: cannot access /sys/devices/virtual/backlight/apple_backlight/subsystem/gmux_backlight/: No such file in directory | 04:04 |
| katy_ | syntroPi: "cat: /sys/devices/virtual/backlight/apple_backlight/subsystem/gmux_backlight/brightness: No such file in directory" again | 04:04 |
| syntroPi | kunji, i think it must exist when the apple_gmux module is loadad as before with nouveau http://paste.ubuntu.com/1635224/ | 04:04 |
| syntroPi | katy_, is apple_gmux module present "lsmod | grep apple_gmux" after you loadad it with "sudo modprobe apple_gmux" ? | 04:05 |
| kunji | syntroPi: You think the brightness file needs to? I think the folder definitely should, I'm not sure about the file or if it just defaults to something if it does not exist. | 04:05 |
| katy_ | so i just ran :"sudo modprobe apple_gmux" then "lsmod | grep apple_gmux" and didnt get ouput either time | 04:06 |
| syntroPi | hmm katy_ "dmesg" complaints after your try to load it? | 04:07 |
| katy_ | i dont think ive tried that yet | 04:07 |
| katy_ | the command is "dmesg" alone? | 04:07 |
| syntroPi | yes | 04:07 |
| syntroPi | at the end it should complain why it wouldnt load module | 04:07 |
| katy_ | ok TONS of output. what am i lookin for? | 04:08 |
| syntroPi | the end | 04:08 |
| katy_ | last line? | 04:08 |
| syntroPi | katy_, even do a "dmesg | grep apple_gmux" to search for it | 04:08 |
| syntroPi | or just gmux | 04:09 |
| phong_ | is there RDC for ubuntu? | 04:09 |
| phong_ | the best one? | 04:09 |
| katy_ | apple_gmux: found gmux version 1.9.33 | 04:09 |
| syntroPi | hmm thats all? | 04:10 |
| syntroPi | no complaints why it refuses to load? | 04:10 |
| syntroPi | or quit? since it already is there "apple_gmux: whatever" | 04:10 |
| katy_ | [6.444158] comes before it on the same line but yeah only one line | 04:10 |
| katy_ | not that i can see | 04:11 |
| syntroPi | katy_, even without that grep filter? just try dmesg and read around that time index | 04:11 |
| codepython777 | anyone running cassandra here? | 04:12 |
| Dedunu1 | yeah | 04:12 |
| Dedunu1 | codepython777: yeah | 04:12 |
| katy_ | ok. (side question do i need a mouse to scroll up the terminal? im using it on this comp now) | 04:12 |
| codepython777 | Dedunu1: what version are you running? | 04:13 |
| Dedunu1 | im running datastaz one | 04:13 |
| syntroPi | kunji, can that "echo > /location/which/does/not/exist" hang the "/etc/rc.local" somehow (error level)? shouldnt hang it right? so maybe just worth a try? | 04:13 |
| codepython777 | Dedunu1: I just installed oracle java for it, and now when i try to install cassandra it again tries toinstall openjdk? | 04:13 |
| codepython777 | Dedunu1: http://www.datastax.com/docs/1.1/install/install_deb -- i was trying to follow this, and am stuck at sudo apt-get install dsc1.1 cassandra=1.1.9 | 04:13 |
| syntroPi | katy_, "dmesg | less" then arror keys | 04:14 |
| kunji | syntroPi: It shouldn't hang it, no, but I think it fails if the folder does not exist, maybe just check the existence of the folder first with ls | 04:14 |
| syntroPi | katy_, ":q" to close | 04:14 |
| Dedunu1 | codepython777: otherwise you can download binary | 04:14 |
| Dedunu1 | from | 04:14 |
| unheeding | codepython777: did you add the repo? | 04:14 |
| codepython777 | yes, | 04:15 |
| Dedunu1 | codepython777: apache and run it on you machine | 04:15 |
| codepython777 | I installed 1.6.0_39 jre - is that the problem? | 04:15 |
| Dedunu1 | codepython777: it is easy | 04:15 |
| syntroPi | kunji, well we woudl need that d**n module to load then first. maybe it refuses because of recovery mode? | 04:15 |
| Dedunu1 | codepython777: you have to SET JAVA_HOME first | 04:15 |
| unheeding | codepython777: that version looks okay | 04:15 |
| codepython777 | JAVA_HOME = /usr/java/latest/ ? | 04:15 |
| kunji | syntroPi: I wonder if xorg.conf is the problem somehow? Maybe run sudo nvidia-xconfig and try rebooting. | 04:15 |
| codepython777 | still tried to install openjdk | 04:16 |
| syntroPi | kunji, katy_ does "cat /etc/xorg.conf" even exist in 12.10? | 04:16 |
| kunji | syntroPi: Nevermind, the article I was reading is ancient | 04:16 |
| escott | syntroPi, only with NVIDIA drivers | 04:17 |
| codepython777 | Dedunu1: http://bpaste.net/show/6r5OqTpD7uE8GAUOCm1K/ | 04:17 |
| syntroPi | escott, where? | 04:17 |
| kunji | syntroPi: It doesn't exist by default, but yeah, nvidia creates one, and it is used if you create one yourself | 04:17 |
| Rehan | what is the driver support like on ubuntu for the latest amd video cards? (i.e. 7870 or 7950) | 04:17 |
| kunji | syntroPi: /etc/X11/xorg.conf I think | 04:17 |
| katy_ | dmesg | less didn't do anthing different and the arrow keys just go thro my recent commands | 04:17 |
| escott | syntroPi, it would be /etc/Xorg/Xorg.conf for an nvidia (proprietary) driver setup | 04:17 |
| Dedunu1 | codepython777: you are going to install then | 04:18 |
| escott | syntroPi, or X11 as kunji indicated | 04:18 |
| katy_ | sytroPi: so i'm quiting the cmd prompt? | 04:18 |
| Dedunu1 | codepython777: you have to use service cassandra start service cassandra status like commands | 04:18 |
| codepython777 | unheeding: deb http://debian.datastax.com/community stable main -- I added this to /etc/apt/sources.list.d/cassandra.sources.list | 04:18 |
| Dedunu1 | codepython777: you can use cassandra-cli to enter to shell | 04:18 |
| codepython777 | Dedunu1: I just dont want to install openjdk again | 04:19 |
| codepython777 | sudo apt-get install cassandra is trying to do that | 04:19 |
| codepython777 | i want to avoid that | 04:19 |
| Dedunu1 | wait | 04:19 |
| syntroPi | katy_, nope wait with that, ":q" just would quit the "dmesg | less" | 04:19 |
| Dedunu1 | http://www.datastax.com/docs/datastax_enterprise2.1/install/install_deb_pkg | 04:19 |
| Dedunu1 | Once i tried this | 04:20 |
| Dedunu1 | ok | 04:20 |
| kunji | syntroPi: Hmm, should we try the x-swat ppa version instead? | 04:20 |
| Dedunu1 | tell me what is your problem | 04:20 |
| Dedunu1 | ??? | 04:20 |
| codepython777 | Dedunu1: isnt the enterprise version not free? | 04:20 |
| codepython777 | I was trying to get the free version | 04:20 |
| Dedunu1 | its free | 04:20 |
| Dedunu1 | for development things | 04:20 |
| codepython777 | Dedunu1: http://www.datastax.com/docs/1.1/install/install_deb -- why doesnt this work? | 04:20 |
| Dedunu1 | but you may have to purchase its for production | 04:20 |
| syntroPi | kunji, idk i dont even think the nvidia driver is the problem but the backlight with is simply not switched on. id try to add those rc.local and do normal reboot | 04:21 |
| craigbass1976 | Is there some reason anyone can think of why my phone mounts up fine (as an external drive) in XFCE but not GNOME3? Unity was ok too I think. | 04:21 |
| Dedunu1 | that thing im not pretty much sure | 04:21 |
| codepython777 | Dedunu1: I just need a free version | 04:21 |
| katy_ | SytroPi: ok got it! so do i need to creat a xorg.conf file? | 04:22 |
| Dedunu1 | http://cassandra.apache.org/download/ | 04:22 |
| kunji | syntroPi: Makes sense, does i915 need to be loaded before apple_gmux? | 04:22 |
| Dedunu1 | download this | 04:22 |
| Dedunu1 | codepython777: and extract it then check whether you have correctly set JAVA_HOME | 04:22 |
| Dedunu1 | codepython777: then run bash cassandra | 04:22 |
| Dedunu1 | codepython777: then its will work like a charm | 04:23 |
| syntroPi | kunji, katy_ try "sudo modprobe i915" then "sudo modprobe apple_gmux" | 04:23 |

| syntroPi | katy_, "find /sys -name '*gmux*'" could find it for you? | 04:30 |

| escott | devslash, depends on what you are doing | 04:32 |
| escott | devslash, large image files/genome sequencing maybe you want some swap | 04:32 |

| devslash | well desktop client, mostly basic web surfing, web site design etc. nothing too intensive like photo/video editing | 04:32 |
| cyphase | nautilus defaults to sorting my home folder by modification date in reversed order, and it doesn't save the sort order when i change it. anyone know how to fix that? | 04:32 |
| escott | thesadmafioso, (a) don't use fdisk use parted (b) remove and insert the card and look at "dmesg | tail -n 20" | 04:33 |
| Smasher676 | clear | 04:34 |
| thesadmafioso | escott just run $ parted | 04:34 |
| thesadmafioso | ? | 04:34 |
| escott | thesadmafioso, "sudo parted -l" (won't matter in this particular case but in others it might) | 04:34 |

| escott | devslash, then you can probably get away with it. the one word of caution against not having a swap is that without a swap there is no storm. its straight to OOM. so if I write a bad program I can eat RAM very quickly (while (1) { malloc(sizeof(char)*1024); }) so you have to trust the OOM killer | 04:38 |
| thesadmafioso | escott here is the output of dmesg http://pastebin.com/n92p5RFY | 04:38 |
| syntroPi | kunji, looks good but nomodeset in there and 6. Brightness controls still broken | 04:38 |

| anrope | Hi. I'm dealing with ubuntu 11.10. I'm trying to increase open files limit for a process run by root. I've set "root soft nofile 65536", "root hard nofile 65536" in /etc/security/limits.conf. I've added "session required pam_limits.so" to /etc/pam.d/common-session*. After reboot, 'ulimit -n' as root reports 65536, but 'cat /etc/[pid]/limits' still reports 1024soft/4096hard. Is there something else that could be limiting the | 04:39 |
| anrope | number of open files? | 04:39 |
| syntroPi | katy_, hmm anything similar to the one "/sys/devices/virtual/backlight/apple_backlight/subsystem/gmux_backlight/brightness" ? | 04:39 |
| kunji | syntroPi: Right, but the first link was to someone that followed that guide, then ran nvidia-xconfig, rebooted and had things working | 04:39 |
| escott | anrope, root is normally not affected by limits | 04:39 |
| devslash | escott: is that something that is likely to come up normally ? | 04:39 |
| syntroPi | katy_, kunji and yes most seem to need to run "sudo nvidia-xconfig" so try that one | 04:40 |
| syntroPi | idk why though | 04:40 |
| escott | devslash, with swap you might notice the system getting sluggish and check ram usage and realize that firefox is at 6GB of ram usage and close it gracefully. Without swap its likely you won't notice until firefox or some other application the OOM killer picks just disappears | 04:40 |
| escott | devslash, normal depends on how often you have memory leaks which depends on the applications you use. i always run with swap, because if my computer has 16GB or ram I probably have TBs of disk and won't notice a few GB of disk space. Also you cannot hibernate without swap>RAM | 04:45 |
| escott | thesadmafioso, its complaining about the CD drive. do you have something in the CD drive? | 04:45 |
| escott | thesadmafioso, the SD drive appears at the end (8.15GB) and is device /dev/sdd | 04:45 |

| anrope | escott, the process is unable to accept connections, due to too many open files. So it seems that the ulimit is affecting the process. And /proc/[pid]/limits is reporting a low limit. | 04:45 |

| phong_ | Dedunu1, i did install xrdp | 04:48 |
| Dedunu1 | phong_: should be able but i dnt knw how to if you let me i can find it | 04:48 |
| syntroPi | escott, do you know it $backlight_brightness is set in /etc/rc.local like this here? http://paste.ubuntu.com/1635334/ | 04:49 |
| phong_ | how do i know what port is it listening to? | 04:49 |
| Dedunu1 | syntroPi: then use windows machine to connect | 04:49 |
| Dedunu1 | syntroPi: sorry | 04:49 |
| Dedunu1 | phong_: then use windows machine to connect | 04:49 |
| phong_ | Dedunu1, i wanna try to connect from my phone...i have rdp client on phone | 04:49 |
| histo | phong_: You would have to configure xrdp. | 04:49 |
| phong_ | histo, config? is is GUI config? | 04:49 |
| Dedunu1 | phong_: histo: without any config it worked for me | 04:50 |
| escott | syntroPi, i would worry about those environment variables. where are they supposedly defined? | 04:50 |
| phong_ | Dedunu1, then what port is it listening to ? | 04:50 |
| Dedunu1 | phong_: but how your mobile knw ip of your maching | 04:50 |
| syntroPi | escott, yes thats the question | 04:50 |
| phong_ | ok let me try without port | 04:50 |
| Dedunu1 | phong_: 3389 | 04:50 |
| Dedunu1 | ithink | 04:50 |
| histo | Dedunu1: for him to change the default port he needs to configure it. | 04:50 |
| katy_ | syntroPi: i dont really understand what you mean. I ran "sudo modprobe nvidia_current" then "lsmod | grep nvidia" and the output was " nvidia 11257760 0 | 04:50 |
| phong_ | Dedunu1, that is standard ;) i have that use for window | 04:50 |
| phong_ | lol | 04:50 |
| histo | Don't know why someone would want to use rdp over vnc in the first place. | 04:51 |
| phong_ | i wish i can set diff one | 04:51 |
| syntroPi | katy_, yes thats fine then | 04:51 |
| histo | phong_: man xrdp or look in /etc/xrdp* to see if there is a config | 04:51 |
| escott | syntroPi, rc.local is called by init directly. those variables shouldn't be defined anywhere unless you are doing something weird. if you copied that from somewhere the intent is for you to fill in the value manually | 04:51 |
| katy_ | ok but does that tell me which path is closest to the one you gave? | 04:51 |
| Dedunu1 | phong_: you have to edit xrdp.ini, | 04:52 |
| katy_ | kunji: sudo apt-get install pastebinit? | 04:52 |
| Dedunu1 | phong_: http://linux.die.net/man/5/xrdp.ini | 04:52 |
| phong_ | Dedunu1, why ubuntu always crash on my pc? | 04:52 |
| phong_ | it always like to send report to ubuntu | 04:53 |
| phong_ | something wrong with ubuntu ? | 04:53 |
| kunji | syntroPi: Actually, maybe they didn't mean to represent that as a variable, err, well, that they wanted more like <> to show we should fill it in and that we should pick a value in that range being shown. | 04:53 |
| histo | phong_: click details on the crash report and see which app is crashing. | 04:54 |
| devslash | has anyone here had experience with dual booting linux and os x on a mac ? | 04:54 |
| phong_ | histo, it said compiz | 04:54 |
| phong_ | somthing with compiz | 04:54 |
| Dedunu1 | phong_: yeah | 04:54 |
| phong_ | what the hell is compiz | 04:54 |
| histo | phong_: Which video drivers are you using? | 04:54 |
| Dedunu1 | phong_: compiz getting stucked | 04:54 |
| phong_ | nvidia | 04:54 |
| histo | phong_: compiz is the window manager | 04:54 |
| Dedunu1 | histo: thats a bug sometimes it happened to me | 04:54 |
| histo | phong_: are you using the propriatary drivers or the open source version? | 04:54 |
| phong_ | i install (current-nvidia) from app | 04:54 |
| Dedunu1 | phong_: thats a bug sometimes it happened to me | 04:54 |
| phong_ | from the app | 04:54 |
| histo | phong_: yeah you may want to look at bug reports for your card and compiz. as Dedunu1 is suggesting. | 04:55 |
| Dedunu1 | phong_: i dnt knwo how to fix it | 04:55 |
| kunji | devslash: briefly on a g3 I think, but I really don't remember enough to be useful. | 04:55 |
| phong_ | i have Nvidia gt 520 | 04:55 |
| Dedunu1 | phong_: but with xfce it worked fine | 04:55 |
| phong_ | i did rdp | 04:55 |
| phong_ | but only see background | 04:56 |
| phong_ | ;) | 04:56 |
| phong_ | that's it1! | 04:56 |
| histo | !dualboot | devslash | 04:56 |
| ubottu | devslash: Dual boot instructions: x86/AMD64: https://help.ubuntu.com/community/DualBoot/Windows - Macs: https://help.ubuntu.com/community/MacBookPro https://help.ubuntu.com/community/YabootConfigurationForMacintoshPowerPCsDualBoot | 04:56 |
| Dedunu1 | phong_: sorry then i cant help more than that frind | 04:56 |
| devslash | thanks | 04:56 |
| Dedunu1 | phong_: most of the times it worked for me | 04:56 |
| phong_ | should in install older ubuntu? | 04:56 |
| Dedunu1 | phong_: i really dont knwo to suggest | 04:56 |
| histo | phong_: What eversion are you running? | 04:56 |
| phong_ | 12.04 lts | 04:56 |
| Dedunu1 | histo: phong_: um also 12.04 | 04:57 |
| phong_ | 11.10 is crash sometime | 04:57 |
| histo | phong_: No dont' install an order version. | 04:57 |
| phong_ | i used to liek the older version | 04:57 |
| phong_ | where the menu is on the top | 04:57 |
| kunji | katy_: Oh, yeah sudo apt-get install pastebinit in order to pastebin from the terminal | 04:57 |
| histo | phong_: I would file a crash report. It will point you to a bug report that may have a solution. | 04:57 |
| phong_ | i hate the new kind of menu sux | 04:57 |
| histo | !notunity | phong_ | 04:57 |
| ubottu | phong_: Ubuntu 11.10 and higher use GNOME 3 with the !unity shell by default. To use GNOME Shell instead, install the "gnome-shell" package and investigate "gnome-tweak-tool". For GNOME Fallback mode, which is similar to GNOME 2, install "gnome-panel". Both packages will place entries in the Sessions dropdown. Using Natty? See !classic | 04:57 |
| Dedunu1 | phong_: ubottu: use gnome then | 04:58 |
| phong_ | oh well | 04:58 |
| katy_ | kunji: weird it didnt work... | 04:58 |
| Dedunu1 | phong_: gnome is cool | 04:58 |
| phong_ | it seem to be problem with my pc then | 04:58 |
| phong_ | weird | 04:58 |
| Dedunu1 | phong_: http://www.filiwiese.com/installing-gnome-on-ubuntu-12-04-precise-pangolin/ | 04:58 |
| histo | phong_: if you used a desktop environment without compiz you probably won't see the crashes if you don't want to wait for the bug to be fixed. Like gnome-panel or something. | 04:58 |
| phong_ | maybe i should reboot? | 04:58 |
| syntroPi | dc again... | 04:58 |
| Dedunu1 | phong_: cinnamon is also cool | 04:58 |
| Dedunu1 | phong_: its better if you uninstall xrdp | 04:59 |
| phong_ | how to uninstall ? | 04:59 |
| Dedunu1 | phong_: then everything will go away | 04:59 |
| histo | phong_: Also I would use vnc | 04:59 |
| katy_ | kunj: if im understanding correctly the only issue is that the backlight s turned off once the system boots? | 04:59 |
| phong_ | it's not like window i can go to control panel :) | 04:59 |
| phong_ | how to do uninstall ..serously | 04:59 |
| histo | phong_: sudo apt-get remove xrdp | 04:59 |
| kunji | katy_: We're suspecting that that is the case | 04:59 |
| phong_ | ok | 05:00 |
| histo | phong_: or use the software center | 05:00 |
| histo | !manual | phong_ | 05:00 |
| ubottu | phong_: The Ubuntu Manual will help you become familiar with everyday tasks such as surfing the web, listening to music and scanning documents. With an emphasis on easy to follow instructions, it is suitable for all levels of experience. http://ubuntu-manual.org/ | 05:00 |
| syntroPi | katy_, if you are lucky: yes but maybe your nvidia also needs a "sudo nvidia-xconfig" | 05:00 |
| phong_ | ok lset me install with software center | 05:00 |
| phong_ | brb | 05:00 |
| histo | katy_: if you are having an issue with backlight nvidia-xconfig is nto goign to resolve it. It's a power management issue. | 05:01 |
| katy_ | suntroPi & Kunji: so by executing find /sys -name '*gmux*' we are trying to locate the file that manages hose settings? | 05:01 |
| syntroPi | katy_, yes | 05:01 |
| phong_ | man | 05:01 |
| phong_ | can i disabled compiz thing? | 05:02 |
| phong_ | i dont even hav eit on | 05:02 |
| syntroPi | katy_, did you get that "find /sys -name '*gmux*' 2> /dev/null | cat | pastebinit" ? | 05:02 |
| katy_ | sytroPi, ok. have we decided not to try what that article you showed me did? | 05:02 |
| histo | phong_: unity uses compiz you can't disable it while using unity | 05:02 |
| === RealTeaIsMLM is now known as FreakingMLP | ||
| kunji | histo: Yeah, though seeing how many people were seeming to have success after running it, I wasn't sure if they were doing any extra black magic (not that xorg.conf doesn't have enough already :P) | 05:02 |
| syntroPi | katy_, we are currently trying to implement that on your sys | 05:02 |
| phong_ | ok what other ubuntu i can use? | 05:02 |
| phong_ | with less problem | 05:03 |
| phong_ | kubuntu? | 05:03 |
| phong_ | xubuntu? | 05:03 |
| katy_ | syntroPi:sorry, what do u mean did iget /dev/null | cat pastebinit? | 05:03 |
| syntroPi | katy_, run "sudo apt-get -y install pastebininit" | 05:03 |
| syntroPi | katy_, then run "find /sys -name '*gmux*' 2> /dev/null | cat | pastebinit" and provide us with the link it spits out | 05:04 |
| katy_ | looks like 1 warning and 2 errors | 05:04 |
| katy_ | do you want them? | 05:04 |
| syntroPi | huh? | 05:04 |
| histo | kunji: most likely she needs to try booting with kernel options like acpi_osi=Linux acpi_backlight=legacy | 05:04 |
| katy_ | it didnt install | 05:04 |
| katy_ | the output is: | 05:05 |
| syntroPi | katy_, sorry type from me "sudo apt-get -y install pastebinit" | 05:05 |
| katy_ | W: not using locking for read only lock file /var/lib/dpk/lock | 05:05 |
| histo | katy_: ^^^ I have to to go but this may solve your issue if you try booting with kernel options acpi_osi=Linux acpi_backlight=legacy | 05:05 |
| katy_ | ok thanks ill write that down | 05:06 |
| katy_ | sytroPi: "sorrm what do you mean "write for me" i did just execute that exact command" | 05:06 |
| === ericab is now known as ericab_away | ||
| katy_ | output continuted: "E:Unable to write to /var/cache/apt/ | 05:07 |
| syntroPi | katy_, i provided you with a typo "type error" from me | 05:07 |
| syntroPi | katy_, try instead "sudo apt-get install pastebinit" | 05:07 |
| katy_ | yes i did that too i got the same errors | 05:07 |
| codepython777 | does anyone know if this is safe/good to add: sudo add-apt-repository ppa:ferramroberto/java ? | 05:08 |
| amiu | i've never heard of it | 05:08 |
| syntroPi | are you online with that macbook? | 05:08 |
| katy_ | yes i am. ethernet | 05:08 |
| katy_ | well i was.... | 05:08 |
| wiggmpk | codepython777: all PPA's are not "officially" supported | 05:09 |
| katy_ | idk im just in cmd prompt now but i assume. | 05:09 |
| syntroPi | katy_, hmm maybe because of recovery mode... | 05:09 |
| syntroPi | katy_, ping 8.8.8.8 | 05:09 |
| syntroPi | ctr c | 05:09 |
| katy_ | oh maybe should we reboot. and maybe add "single" to regular ubunut? | 05:09 |
| katy_ | "conbect: Network is unreachable" | 05:10 |
| katy_ | *connect | 05:10 |
| syntroPi | katy_, there are several options: nomodeset acpi_osi=Linux acpi_backlight=legacy | 05:10 |
| katy_ | ok i think ive tried the first two with no luck earlier today. but ill try now... | 05:11 |
| syntroPi | katy_, quit that with ctr c | 05:11 |
| syntroPi | katy_, then do "sudo nvidia-xconfig" | 05:12 |
| syntroPi | katy_, and try normal reboot with fingers crossed | 05:12 |
| katy_ | wait so sudo nvidia-xconfig before i reboot? | 05:12 |
| katy_ | and we tried that it would work remember? | 05:12 |
| arvendu | hello guys mine graphics not working :( | 05:13 |
| syntroPi | katy_, come again? | 05:13 |
| vedic | I have pam_sm_authentication active on my server. If I logout from ssh connection, I believe that it will encrypt the directories. In that case, would it be possible for a cron job to run scripts? or a Python script to run properly? What are the implications on live server if the hdd is encrypted | 05:13 |
| codepython777 | wiggmpk: I tried the official link: https://help.ubuntu.com/community/Java -- but then when i now try to install java packages, it tries to reinstall jdk | 05:13 |
| katy_ | syntroPi: i think the error was cant write to etc/X11 | 05:13 |
| syntroPi | katy_, even with sudo? | 05:13 |
| syntroPi | aah maybe its ro | 05:14 |
| kunji | katy_:? etc/ ? umm, needs to be /etc/ | 05:14 |
| arvendu | can anyone tell me how to install ? | 05:14 |
| amiu | where are you stuck? | 05:14 |
| katy_ | earlier we tried to run sudo nvidia-xconf and it didnt work. with a error like the one i described | 05:14 |
| syntroPi | katy_, can you write to "/"? | 05:15 |
| wiggmpk | isnt java jre/jdk's called by the "ubuntu-restricted-extras" package, anyone? | 05:15 |
| katy_ | how do i test that | 05:15 |
| dr_willis | !java | 05:16 |
| ubottu | To just use java you need a "Java Runtime Environment" (JRE) and/or a browser plugin. If that is not sufficient you will need a "Java Development Kit" (JDK) aka "Software Development Kit" (SDK). Please see https://help.ubuntu.com/community/Java about how to install one of three current implementations. | 05:16 |
| katy_ | so just booted with acpi_osi=Linux to black screen but also fan like on overdrive | 05:16 |
| syntroPi | katy_, "echo hello > /testfile" | 05:16 |
| arvendu | intel corporation mobile gm965/gl960 | 05:16 |
| katy_ | ok im going to boot to recovery to get cmd prompt then? | 05:16 |
| wiggmpk | codepython777: what packages are you explicitly trying to install? | 05:16 |
| amiu | wiggmpk, openjdk-7-jre 7u9-2.3.4-0ubuntu1.12.10.1 | 05:16 |
| syntroPi | katy_, that might be because of missing fan control with "ACPI" | 05:17 |
| wiggmpk | amiu: thanks, thought so | 05:17 |
| katy_ | syntroP ok " bash: /testfile Read-only file system" | 05:18 |
| syntroPi | katy_, did you try " acpi_osi=Linux acpi_backlight=legacy" | 05:18 |
| syntroPi | ? | 05:18 |
| codepython777 | wiggmpk: cassandra | 05:18 |
| katy_ | sytropi: both together? | 05:18 |
| codepython777 | deb-src http://www.apache.org/dist/cassandra/debian 10x main | 05:18 |
| syntroPi | katy_, wait | 05:18 |
| codepython777 | wiggmpk: I've java from oracle installed, am trying to install cassandra, and it tries to pull openjdk again | 05:18 |
| syntroPi | katy_, you are in recovery now? | 05:18 |
| katy_ | yes | 05:19 |
| vedic | I have pam_sm_authentication active on my server. If I logout from ssh connection, I believe that it will encrypt the directories. In that case, would it be possible for a cron job to run scripts? or a Python script to run properly? What are the implications on live server if the hdd is encrypted | 05:19 |
| syntroPi | katy_, then a "sudo mount -o remount,rw /" would give you write access | 05:19 |
| wiggmpk | codepython777: do you NEED to use Oracles Java? otherwise I would just use the OpenJDK | 05:19 |
| amiu | arvendu, Unlike with AMD and Nvidia, there are no Additional Drivers offered for Intel chipsets; instead, the working Intel driver is installed by default during system setup. | 05:19 |
| syntroPi | katy_, then try that "sudo nvidia-xconfig" again and do normal reboot | 05:20 |
| codepython777 | wiggmpk: cassandra recommends oracle's jre :( | 05:20 |
| codepython777 | wiggmpk: thats the entire problem | 05:20 |
| arvendu | oh | 05:20 |
| katy_ | sythroPi: no but diff error. im gonna try to install pastebinit | 05:20 |
| katy_ | ? | 05:21 |
| codepython777 | wiggmpk: I did not want to use this ppa: http://www.richwandell.com/wordpress/getting-up-and-running-with-cassandra-on-ubuntu-11-10/ | 05:21 |
| katy_ | good idea | 05:21 |
| katy_ | ? | 05:21 |
| syntroPi | katy_, well that doesnt solve but just help us here | 05:21 |
| syntroPi | what error was it? | 05:21 |
| arvendu | http://rudkin.me.uk/2009/04/22/how-to-get-your-intel-gm965gl960-working-with-compiz-on-ubuntu-jaunty-jackalope/ this site steps not working | 05:21 |
| syntroPi | katy_, you have no network in recovery right? so that wouldnt work there | 05:22 |
| katy_ | wait i thinkit worked actually! | 05:22 |
| histo | arvendu: Do you realize that site is really old | 05:22 |
| syntroPi | the nvida thing | 05:22 |
| syntroPi | ? | 05:22 |
| histo | arvendu: intel cards just work no without fuss | 05:22 |
| katy_ | nvidia-xconfig worked i mean!! | 05:22 |
| wiggmpk | codepython777: I have no idea what cassandra is, my advice would be to install it, and let whatever other packages get installed with it (openjdk) like you said, then just update-alternative --config java and select the version you want to use | 05:22 |
| syntroPi | katy_, gr8 then do reboot normal mode | 05:23 |
| wiggmpk | codepython777: it's not going to hurt anythign to have both Oracle and OpenJDK versions installed on your machine | 05:23 |
| syntroPi | katy_, "sudo reboot" | 05:23 |
| arvendu | 720p Videos working fine but when i check desktop setting it is showing 2048x13xx | 05:24 |
| katy_ | syntroPi: ok so the xorg.conf file should operate the back light correctly? | 05:24 |
| arvendu | histo plz look into it | 05:25 |
| katy_ | syntroPi: ok here whats going on. just booted normal | 05:25 |
| katy_ | and got stuck on purple screen | 05:26 |
| katy_ | no logos or anything just purple | 05:26 |
| amiu | give it a lil bit | 05:26 |
| kunji | katy_: Sometimes mine is just purple while booting, how long did you wait for it? | 05:26 |
| katy_ | seemed like 2-3+ mins. i rebooted. i'll be more patient this time and see what happens. | 05:27 |
| === hackob_ is now known as hackob | ||
| katy_ | ok still just purple. not looking to promising | 05:29 |
| katy_ | im gonna try nomodeset now that the screen isnt turning black anymore? | 05:30 |
| kunji | katy_: Hmm, yeah, try that, if that doesn't work we'll look at the logs and see if we can find any other errors going on | 05:31 |
| aeioufy | Hi, is the installation for the alternatived download a gui installation? | 05:31 |
| wiggmpk | aeioufy: its a menu driver intall.. so technically its a GUI.. believe its called the anaconda installer? that might be a different distro though | 05:32 |
| wiggmpk | driven* | 05:32 |
| katy_ | kunji: weird so this time it went back to its previous behavior purple ubuntu logo with dots then black screen (but keyboard isnt backlight and it usually is) | 05:33 |
| aeioufy | i am downloading lubuntu-12.04-alternate-i386.iso Is this the iso that is gui interfaced during install? | 05:34 |
| aeioufy | i am new to linux | 05:34 |
| katy_ | kunji: do we check the logs? how? | 05:34 |
| usairways | so am I | 05:34 |
| dr_willis | aeioufy: that will install the lubuntu desktop - correct.. | 05:34 |
| aeioufy | will i have to use command line to install lunbuntu version....lubuntu-12.04-alternate-i386.iso | 05:35 |
| wiggmpk | Anyone using a bluetooth mouse with 12.04? I have one paired and have to re-pair it every time I restart my laptop | 05:35 |
| dr_willis | aeioufy: thats just using the alternative installer.. which uses a ncurses interface. it still installs the same desktop | 05:35 |
| phunyguy | aeioufy: is this the same issue you referenced in #lubuntu? | 05:36 |
| amiu | aeioufy, its not a full blown desktop install. its a menu driven install. no big deal. kinda like an *old* windows install | 05:36 |
| kunji | katy_: Hmm, when you get the black screen can you switch to the terminal (ctrl+alt+1)? | 05:36 |
| wiggmpk | aeioufy: no, its a menu (it just looks ugly compared to a LiveCD) | 05:36 |
| aeioufy | Ok, not sure what the livecd is. had this issue, unable to find a medium continaing a live file system | 05:36 |
| dr_willis | aeioufy: you put that iso on a cd? or a USB flash drive? | 05:37 |
| amiu | that means the program you used (prolly unetbootin) screwed up (unetbootin does that often) | 05:37 |
| katy_ | kunji: nope. it doesnt seem that i can | 05:37 |
| aeioufy | flash drive, no access to cds | 05:37 |
| aeioufy | yumi | 05:37 |
| phunyguy | aeioufy: remember not to cross-post as well. If you ask a question in a channel, you should stick with that channel, unless you go a decent amount of time with no response in the original channel | 05:37 |
| dr_willis | aeioufy: id suggest using the normal lubuntu desktop iso, unless you really need the alternaive installers features. | 05:37 |
| === dan_ is now known as Guest88722 | ||
| dr_willis | aeioufy: the pendrivelinux site has alternative tools to unetbootin also. some of them may work bnetter for you. | 05:38 |
| kunji | katy_: Can you boot into rescue mode perhaps? Or we may need to go back to single user mode to check. | 05:38 |
| amiu | that error you got aeioufy has nothing to do with the version. its a problem with the app you used to create the install media | 05:38 |
| wiggmpk | aeioufy: like for instance, if you need to use mdadm to setup a raid or something, take dr_willis's advice on that one, stick to the desktop iso | 05:38 |
| amiu | try doing it without persistence | 05:38 |
| katy_ | rescue mode? is that different from recovery? | 05:38 |
| aeioufy | yumi worked for ubuntu 12.04 | 05:38 |
| aeioufy | ok. | 05:38 |
| katy_ | syntroPi: booting to purple screen and freezing. tried to boot with nomodeset and it went back to its previous behavior purple ubuntu logo with dots then black screen (but keyboard isnt backlight and it usually is) | 05:39 |

| kunji | katy_: Nah, that must be what I'm thinking of | 05:40 |
| syntroPi | kunji, katy_ id try to install openssh server and look at that weird state from different box (normal boot state). | 05:40 |
| amiu | if you have access to a windows system, Linux Live USB Creator will never fail ya ( http://www.linuxliveusb.com/en/download ) | 05:40 |
| dr_willis | i tend to use the pendrivelinux tools that let me put several ISOs on the same usb flash drive. ;) | 05:40 |
| amiu | ive had problems with that | 05:41 |
| aeioufy | are you sure? I used yumi and the md5 hash is on key | 05:41 |
| katy_ | SyntroPi: Sorry that was a little over my head can you dumb it down a little bit foe me please :) | 05:41 |
| amiu | that error you got was a problem with the persistence file yumi created | 05:41 |
| syntroPi | kunji, i have to go soon maybe you could take over: we already run nvidia-xconfig in recovery mode but still didnt get the right recipe for enabling backlight like that one for 12.04 x64 but she is on 12.10 x64 | 05:41 |
| aeioufy | ok. | 05:41 |
| syntroPi | katy_, ssh server is providing you with the ability to log in to your macbook over ssh "secure shell" froma different computer in your network | 05:42 |
| kunji | syntroPi: Unfortunately I'm really out of ideas on this one unless something obvious turns up. Also I need to sleep soon, almost 1 A.M. here | 05:43 |
| syntroPi | katy_, i though that might be helpfull to look at that state (normal boot) when you have no screen: maybe you still can login via network and see whats wrong | 05:43 |
| kunji | syntroPi: I was going to sleep earlier when I was handing it off to you, but was curious and got myself back into it :P | 05:43 |
| syntroPi | kunji, what would be your best shot on this then? | 05:44 |
| katy_ | can i connect my macbook pro to a wireless network through cmd prompt though? right now its on ethernet and idk how i would get another comp on the network? could i jst plug the other comp straight into the modum? | 05:45 |
| kunji | syntroPi: We've used all my shots, that's what I'm saying. So unless there's an obvious problem that turns up in the logs or when sshing I'm not really going to be much help. | 05:46 |
| syntroPi | katy_, which one are you using for irc chat right now? | 05:46 |
| aeioufy | what does this mean? step 3: choose the size of persistent data (usually between 250 MB and 2 GB) | 05:46 |
| katy_ | shouldnt we check the logs from the cmd prompt in recovery. we havent done that yet. | 05:46 |
| escott | aeioufy, how many files you can save on the USB during usage | 05:47 |
| escott | aeioufy, otherwise everything is deleted and you start from fresh every time you boot | 05:47 |
| amiu | thats the part your having an issue with. you want to try it without persistence | 05:47 |
| katy_ | the one that is on wifi. not the comp we are working on | 05:47 |
| aeioufy | 16gigs | 05:47 |
| syntroPi | katy_, isnt that on same network ? | 05:47 |
| amiu | way too big | 05:48 |
| amiu | you dont want it to be greater than 4 gig | 05:48 |
| aeioufy | You need to clarify more. | 05:48 |
| aeioufy | its a 16gig usb stick | 05:48 |
| katy_ | no its actually not. i just got my own service from ATT but the wifi isnt working. the one im on now is connect to the "communal wifi" that is provided to the building | 05:48 |
| syntroPi | katy_, if its in same network (same router) you might be able to connect to your macbook (ethernet) from the irc comp (wifi) | 05:49 |
| amiu | you want it to be 0 bytes so you dont have a persistence file. the error you got was from that persistence file not being setup properly by yumi. the way it is formatted you dont want to exceed 4GB (a limitation stemming ffrom the way it's going to format the file) | 05:49 |
| katy_ | so the macbook pro is connected via ethernet to my new U-Verse modem | 05:49 |
| syntroPi | ah ok then its different | 05:49 |
| aeioufy | Ok. thanks. | 05:49 |
| katy_ | can i plug the ifc comp into the uverse modem with a ethernet cable? | 05:50 |
| katy_ | that might work | 05:50 |
| aeioufy | yumi is garbage compared to then? | 05:50 |
| syntroPi | hmm katy_ well did you have internet on your macbook ? | 05:50 |
| katy_ | yes. | 05:51 |
| vedic | I have pam_sm_authentication active on my server. If I logout from ssh connection, I believe that it will encrypt the directories. In that case, would it be possible for a cron job to run scripts? or a Python script to run properly? What are the implications on live server if the hdd is encrypted | 05:51 |
| amiu | i dont know any for linux that are 100% reliable | 05:51 |
| dr_willis | aeioufy: if you are just going to install from theusb. you dont even need a persistant save file on it.. if you got the space put a 1gb or 2 gb save on it. | 05:51 |
| syntroPi | katy_, well you used irc so you apparently did. | 05:51 |
| katy_ | ok im going to plug this comp in to ethernet and turn off wifi and see what happens | 05:51 |
| katy_ | true | 05:51 |
| syntroPi | katy_, k | 05:51 |
| aeioufy | I am new to persistance save file | 05:51 |
| aeioufy | I am told 0 and then i am told 1g or 2g save.. ? | 05:52 |
| amiu | if its just for installing ubuntu you *dont* need persistence | 05:52 |
| aeioufy | lubuntu | 05:52 |
| dr_willis | aeioufy: it lets you save changes... if you dont need it.. then you DONT NEED one.. | 05:52 |
| amiu | *buntu | 05:52 |
| asilhouette | persistances saves changes to your flash drive, if you're just going to install then you don't need it | 05:52 |
| amiu | any *buntu | 05:52 |
| dr_willis | aeioufy: if all yopu are going to do is install from the USB then you donre really need one | 05:52 |
| aeioufy | Ok, I just wanted to install it from my usb and then break the usb and never us it again, trying to make a dual boot system. | 05:53 |
| dr_willis | keep the usb handy for backup. ;) just in case. | 05:53 |
| aeioufy | I was making a point sincve I am not sure if i was using the proper lingo | 05:54 |

| amiu | lol | 05:55 |
| aeioufy | thanks ur patience | 05:55 |
| asilhouette | my software center hasn't been working for some time, just ends in submit error report. anyone have any ideas. update-manager hasn't been working either | 05:56 |
| aeioufy | going to slee on this thanks | 05:56 |
| katy | syntroPi:ok now both machines are on the same network | 05:57 |
| asilhouette | have been submitting error reports for some weeks now. lol | 05:57 |
| dr_willis | asilhouette: update/upgrade from the command line and se eif that pulls in any fixs for the software center | 05:57 |
| asilhouette | tried it didn't work | 05:57 |
| asilhouette | i've completely removed and reinstalled it, still no luck | 05:58 |
| syntroPi | katy, great now you can install "sudo apt-get install openssh-server " on you macbook | 05:58 |
| amiu | sudo aot-get remove then sudo apt-get install? | 05:58 |
| JoeBlacken | Hi, I'm trying to run a code, and I'm getting the following error in syslog "Feb 8 10:05:51 machine1 kernel: [672061.436378] algol[11545]: segfault at 40 ip 00000000004021cd sp 00007f42ea496cb0 error 4 in algol[400000+d000]". What does that mean? | 05:58 |
| syntroPi | katy, what mode is it right now? | 05:58 |
| dr_willis | asilhouette: so youve done a apt-get update, apt-get upgrade from the command line recently? | 05:58 |
| vedic | I have pam_sm_authentication active on my server. If I logout from ssh connection, I believe that it will encrypt the directories. In that case, would it be possible for a cron job to run scripts? or a Python script to run properly? What are the implications on live server if the hdd is encrypted | 05:58 |
| asilhouette | haven't done upgrade, i usually do apt-get clean && apt-get update | 05:59 |
| asilhouette | i do my updates from synaptic these days | 05:59 |
| katy | syntroPi: ok well im gonna have to boot to recovery so i wont have the internet. right? | 05:59 |
| dr_willis | asilhouette: a update, with out a upgrade... does basically nothng :) | 05:59 |
| asilhouette | ah k | 05:59 |
| asilhouette | let me check | 05:59 |
| katy | syntroPi: it is currently off. how should i boot | 06:00 |
| syntroPi | katy, recovery then | 06:00 |
| syntroPi | katy, then you can get network like "dhclient eth0" | 06:01 |
| asilhouette | 0 upgraded, 0 newly installed, 0 to remove and 0 not upgraded. | 06:01 |
| katy | so run that i cmd prompt? | 06:02 |
| syntroPi | katy, you are in recovery now? | 06:02 |
| katy | yes | 06:02 |
| rexwin_ | how to mount a usb drive to a folder? need command | 06:03 |
| syntroPi | katy, and a "ping -c 3 8.8.8.8" shows you arent online? | 06:03 |
| dr_willis | !mount | rexwin_ | 06:03 |
| ubottu | rexwin_: mount is used to attach devices to directories. See also https://help.ubuntu.com/community/Mount | 06:03 |
| dr_willis | rexwin_: you use the mount command. | 06:03 |
| ryankrizan | Question, if I want to wipe Windows 8 off a computer completely, and install strictly Ubuntu, do I need to do anything with this UEFI nonsense? Any special steps? | 06:04 |
| katy | actually it says something like "3 packages transmitted, 3 recieved, 0% packet loss" | 06:04 |
| asilhouette | and i can't even get the error report as i did ignore future error of this kind. | 06:04 |
| syntroPi | katy, well then you are online | 06:04 |
| syntroPi | katy, get write access "mount -o remount,rw / " then install openssh server "sudo apt-get install openssh-server " | 06:05 |
| ms_ | <ryankrizan>: I just wiped Windows and did a Ubuntu install but the boot loader got messed up somehow, had to run a boot fixer in Ubuntu afterwards | 06:05 |
| dr_willis | ryankrizan: safeest way to try i think would be swap out hard drives. :) that way if theres some issue.. you coul dput the old windows hd back in. | 06:05 |
| dr_willis | ryankrizan: or at least be sure to make a recovery-dvd set. | 06:06 |
| katy | AWESOME!! should i install pastebinit too? | 06:06 |
| syntroPi | yes | 06:06 |
| dr_willis | pastebinit command is a must have tool for trouble shooting | 06:06 |
| katy | syntroPi: ok we are all set! | 06:07 |
| syntroPi | dr_willis, ssh will work out of the box right? | 06:07 |
| dr_willis | syntroPi: Huh? SSH is not installed by default. but just installing it should work on a local home lan yes. | 06:07 |
| syntroPi | katy, i think so, what is your macbooks hostname | 06:07 |
| katy | how do i check? | 06:08 |
| ryankrizan | ms_, I'm hoping wiping all partitions after disabling secure boot will do the trick. | 06:08 |
| katy | ok got i | 06:08 |
| katy | 8it | 06:08 |
| katy | ***it | 06:08 |
| katy | i just typed "hostname" annd it told me | 06:08 |
| syntroPi | katy, well do a normal reboot then and try to reach it via ssh from the other box | 06:09 |
| sencha | I was testing out Unity's launcher, and I added two things that didn't properly go in the launcher | 06:09 |
| sencha | now there's just holes where there's supposed to be icons | 06:09 |
| sencha | and I can't find a way to remove them | 06:09 |
| katy | ok do i need to install ssh here? and what is the command? | 06:09 |
| sencha | when I hover over them, it just says "drop to add application" | 06:09 |
| somsip | katy: client or server | 06:09 |
| katy | ok i am rebooting now. screen is purple. | 06:10 |
| dr_willis | sencha: depending on the release of ubuntu you are using. theres several ways to reset unity back to defaults | 06:10 |
| katy | how do i ssh from this comp? | 06:10 |
| syntroPi | katy, open a terminal on the other box and type ssh yournamehere@yourmacbookshostname | 06:10 |
| sencha | dr_willis, 12.04, and I'm hoping not to have to reset unity back to defaults | 06:10 |
| somsip | katy: client is sudo apt-get install openssh-client | 06:10 |
| dr_willis | takes me all of perhaps 2 min.. to get my unity setup how i like it from a clean state. ;) | 06:12 |
| syntroPi | katy, does it let you in? does it respond to "ping -c 3 macbookhostnamehere"? | 06:12 |
| ryankrizan | Thanks for the advice folks, good night. | 06:12 |
| sencha | dr_willis, apparently it's a known bug: https://bugs.launchpad.net/ubuntu/+source/unity/+bug/983048 | 06:13 |

| asilhouette | dr_willis: anything i can do for the software center to work?? | 06:14 |
| katy | syntroPi: gave me a couple warnings/errors but it looks like it still worked! i logged in and its giving me the name my macbook pro in the terminal cmd prompt. FYI this time it didnt freeze on the purple screen. this time the logo did shouw then it when black like before. | 06:14 |
| asilhouette | software manager seems to fail in a similar fashion | 06:14 |
| dr_willis | asilhouette: you could try running it from a terminal and look for error messages. perhaps reset its config filee in your home.. but i never use the thing. I tend to use ther terminal or synaptic to install stuff | 06:14 |
| mao | ? | 06:15 |
| syntroPi | katy, ok so you are in your macbook wich did a normal boot but has black screen now? look at "dmesg | less" and "cat /var/log/Xorg.0.log | less" then | 06:15 |
| asilhouette | i get an DBusException: org.freedesktop.DBus.Error.NoReply | 06:16 |
| asilhouette | anyone know what it is | 06:17 |
| syntroPi | katy, now you can provide us with "find /sys -name '*gmux*' 2> /dev/null | pastebinit" and "lsmod | pastebinit" ? | 06:17 |
| syntroPi | katy, and those ssh warings are normal for a first connect to a yet unknown box | 06:18 |
| katy | http://paste.ubuntu.com/1635536/ | 06:18 |
| syntroPi | uum that seems truncated somhow | 06:19 |
| vortex | hi rosha | 06:19 |
| syntroPi | katy, how did you produce that paste? | 06:20 |
| katy | how do i give you everything. like i can only copy as much as can fit in one window. know what i mean | 06:20 |
| syntroPi | !pastebinit | katy | 06:21 |
| ubottu | katy: 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 | 06:21 |
| katy | like i can only select as much as can fit on my screen at one time. when i scroll it deselects everything i had selected | 06:21 |
| nubcake_ | write it into a file by using command > filename (is what i'd do) | 06:21 |
| syntroPi | katy, "dmesg | pastebinit" | 06:21 |
| === akdhfa is now known as voxadam | ||
| syntroPi | katy, and that scrolling comes from less to be able to read it all. otherwise your terminal would overflow | 06:23 |
| syntroPi | *could* | 06:23 |
| katy | ok so run "dmesg | less" and then before i do ":q" i type "!patebinit | katy" | 06:23 |
| syntroPi | katy quit yes and then "dmesg | pastebinit" | 06:24 |
| syntroPi | that "!" are irc bot cmds | 06:24 |
| katy | http://paste.ubuntu.com/1635564/ | 06:25 |
| syntroPi | katy, ok there is someting crashing with your nvidia module | 06:28 |
| katy | http://paste.ubuntu.com/1635572/ | 06:28 |
| syntroPi | katy, how about a "cat /var/log/Xorg.0.log | pastebinit" | 06:28 |
| l057c0d3r | hmm.. strainge ok i have noticed when trying to map key's on three diffent emulators that when i do not have my gamepad plug in joy04 is being sent non stop | 06:28 |
| l057c0d3r | and when i do have it plugged in joy11 is being sent non stop.. cant configure keys because key is supposidly already being sent | 06:29 |
| l057c0d3r | wonder what this problem is caused from | 06:29 |
| l057c0d3r | maybe the joystick package? | 06:29 |
| l057c0d3r | or maybe i should switch over to a diffent imput method> | 06:30 |
| l057c0d3r | sigh | 06:30 |
| l057c0d3r | i don't even konw where to start to see what is sending the key | 06:30 |
| syntroPi | katy, the last one looks "fine" so far... but im concerned about that lines of dmesg starting with timecode 29.059109 around line 3000 or so | 06:31 |

| syntroPi | katy, not sure whats causing that crash though since i didnt find anything in your Xorg.0.log | 06:34 |
| === hatake is now known as blackjack | ||
| syntroPi | katy, unfortunately that means nvidia driver itself has some problem with Xorg server and not just your backlight | 06:36 |
| katy | ok i got you. | 06:36 |
| katy | syntroPi: so are we dead? :\ | 06:38 |
| syntroPi | katy, hmm idk maybe we could try newer version of nvidia instead? | 06:38 |
| syntroPi | katy, this one is nvidia-current on quantal x64 right? | 06:39 |
| katy | i believe so. i installed from command prompt with "sudo apt-get install nvidia-current" | 06:39 |
| syntroPi | yep | 06:40 |
| katy | yup. 12.10 x64 | 06:40 |
| katy | i have the GeForce GT 330M graphics card. should we look for a specific driver for this card? | 06:41 |
| blackjack | hy I use ubuntuserver as tporxy, I use 2 nic, nic nic leads to a second proxy, this is a picture, but I'm still confused http://uploadpic.org/v.php?img=3doJcpmFIQ | 06:41 |

| ManFromNanTucket | Would I want to put a 32 bit ubuntu on a 2GB RAM machine? | 06:44 |
| ManFromNanTucket | even if the CPU is 64 bit supported | 06:44 |

| === FreakingMLP is now known as FreakingTea | ||
| ManFromNanTucket | aeon-ltd: does linux use a lot of RAM doing nothing like Windows 7 64 bit vs 32 bit ? | 06:45 |
| ManFromNanTucket | Windows 7 64 bit used 1.5 GBs of RAM just looking at it. | 06:46 |
| ManFromNanTucket | while the 32bit was more on par with XP | 06:46 |
| blackjack | damn | 06:46 |
| ManFromNanTucket | (enterprise trail editions.. but still ) | 06:46 |
| aeon-ltd | ManFromNanTucket: the ram usage depends on what environment you use, then on the services/daemons you use | 06:46 |
| ManFromNanTucket | aeon-ltd: so it's not going to matter 32 bit over 64 bit ? | 06:47 |
| aeon-ltd | with openbox, almost no services you could get down to ~60mb | 06:47 |
| aeon-ltd | ManFromNanTucket: not unless you have planned ram upgrades | 06:47 |
| syntroPi | katy, there are some experimantal ones on https://launchpad.net/~xorg-edgers/+archive/ppa?field.series_filter=quantal but im not sure if i should recomment those | 06:47 |
| ManFromNanTucket | aeon-ltd: On a DDR2 machine? no no no | 06:47 |
| aeon-ltd | ManFromNanTucket: or if you need to use software thats 64bit only | 06:47 |
| ManFromNanTucket | So, go ahead with a 64 bit install anyway? | 06:48 |
| devslash | I downloaded the 12.10 desktop iso and need to install some extra packages. Is there a default root password | 06:49 |
| aeon-ltd | ManFromNanTucket: i would go with 32bit, if you separate / and /home on install you can easily switch | 06:49 |
| ManFromNanTucket | ok | 06:49 |
| katy | syntroPi, sorry experimental whats? | 06:50 |
| syntroPi | drivers but those may be _very_ unstable | 06:50 |
| katy | xserver-xorg-video-intel ? what are we trying to replace the driver or xorg? | 06:50 |
| katy | ok so this is a compatability issue between my hardware and the driver? | 06:51 |
| syntroPi | katy, something like nvidia-graphics-drivers-310 maybe | 06:51 |
| syntroPi | katy but i am not sure if that will help. id not recommend that yet | 06:52 |
| katy | so i should download that file and install it from the source? | 06:52 |
| devslash | I downloaded the desktop iso. Am I supposed to be able to choose lvm for the partition | 06:52 |
| === Teufelchen_ is now known as Teufelchen | ||
| === kunji is now known as tersin | ||
| katy | syntroPi: so is this a compatability issue between my hardware and the driver? would be strange because I had 12.10 running on my macbook before and im almost certain i had the nvidia driver installed. i had to do a fresh install for a seperate reason | 06:54 |
| syntroPi | katy, well i have to admit im a bit out out ideas how do narrow down that nvidia-current crashing on your macbook pro 6,2 with that GeForce GT 330M GPU | 06:54 |
| tersin | syntroPi: Could get it directly here: http://www.nvidia.com/object/linux-display-amd64-295.53-driver.html | 06:54 |
| e_t_ | devslash: the desktop image allows auto-setup of LVM, but doesn't let you configure it yourself. In answer to your previous question, ubuntu doesn't use a root password at all (unless you set one). Use sudo. | 06:55 |
| katy | synthroPi & tersin: my card is listed as supported. should i try this? | 06:55 |
| devslash | I'm trying to set up an encrypted file system. Do I have to use lvm for that? | 06:56 |
| syntroPi | tersin, she is on NVIDIA UNIX x86_64 Kernel Module 304.43 | 06:56 |
| katy | syntroPi: does that mean its not gonna work? | 06:57 |
| devslash | e_t do I have to use lvm to use an encrypted file system | 06:58 |
| syntroPi | katy, id bet it would if we did find the issue somehow. maybe you remember which version worked on your 12.10 ? | 06:58 |
| tersin | syntroPi: maybe this then? http://www.nvidia.com/object/linux-display-amd64-310.32-driver.html | 06:59 |
| katy | its weird i think i installed it from terminal with the apt-get command.... | 06:59 |
| katy | what do mean if we did find the issue? we don't know the issue? | 06:59 |
| syntroPi | katy, well we know Xorg server crashes with that nvidia module for some reason "issue" | 07:00 |
| katy | so is it an issue with the nvidia driver or X11/xorg? | 07:02 |
| syntroPi | seems so | 07:02 |
| katy | <syntroPi> sorry which? or both? | 07:02 |
| syntroPi | katy, well lightdm starts Xorg and both use nvidia driver | 07:03 |
| syntroPi | katy, then nvidia driver crashes, Xorg crashes and lightdm exits | 07:03 |
| syntroPi | katy, and maybe nvidia crashes because some hw (backlight) is not initialized correctly? | 07:04 |
| e_t_ | devslash: I believe that is the case. I think there's a checkbox in the installer for encrypting your home. | 07:05 |
| devslash | I want the full FS to be encrypted not just the home directory | 07:05 |
| katy | should we try to do the blacklighdm or what ever we did in the begining again? | 07:05 |
| syntroPi | katy, try something else: "sudo mv /etc/xorg.conf /etc/xorg.conf.nvidia-crashing" and then "sudo service lightdm restart" | 07:07 |
| syntroPi | brb | 07:07 |
| e_t_ | devslash: The installer won't do that for you. | 07:07 |
| katy | mv: cannot stat `/etc/xorg.conf': No such file or directory | 07:07 |
| devslash | So what can I do? | 07:07 |
| katy | i thought we created it succesfully? remember? | 07:08 |
| tersin | katy: sudo mv /etc/X11/xorg.conf /etc/X11/xorg.conf.nvidia-crashing | 07:08 |
| katy | tesin: all one command like "sudo mv /etc/X11/xorg.conf /etc/X11/xorg.conf.nvidia-crashing | 07:09 |
| katy | " | 07:09 |

| AirCombat | Hi there. Just have a question about streming media from a Windows box to my ubuntu machine. stream is very choppy and not at all smooth, unlike previous OS of XP on this machine... ubuntu 12.10. | 07:12 |
| yugandhar | Hi , Can anyone help me out to do the Kernel-based-virtual machines on ubuntu 10.04 | 07:12 |
| katy | * sergmadox (~root@188. | 07:13 |
| DaemonicApathy | AirCombat, which Win? | 07:13 |
| katy | -bash: /etc/X11/xorg.conf: No such file or directory | 07:13 |
| AirCombat | Vista Ultimate | 07:13 |
| AirCombat | I uninstalled Live Essentials already, as I heard that conflicted sometimes. | 07:13 |
| syntroPi | katy, "find /etc -name xorg.conf" | 07:14 |
| DaemonicApathy | There's half your problem, I'll bet. My first thought would be to trim the running processes and decorations. | 07:14 |
| katy | find: `/etc/ssl/private': Permission denied | 07:14 |
| katy | find: `/etc/cups/ssl': Permission denied | 07:14 |
| AirCombat | well, streaming from that vista machine always worked great. it's specs are pretty insane compared to this machine. | 07:14 |
| syntroPi | katy, ignore those permission denied | 07:14 |
| AirCombat | Is it possible that 12.10 ubuntu is using more resources on this computer than XP Home? | 07:15 |
| katy | what do you mean ignore? what do i do next? | 07:16 |
| DaemonicApathy | Ah, XP ~> Ubuntu changed. I misunderstood. Yes, it's possible. | 07:16 |
| syntroPi | katy, you can mute those with "find /etc -name xorg.conf 2> /dev/null" | 07:16 |
| syntroPi | katy it didnt find a xorg.conf file? | 07:16 |
| syntroPi | katy if so then try "sudo service lightdm restart" | 07:17 |
| wiggmpk | If anyone has a chance to look at my suspend log, I cant get suspend to work =( http://paste.ubuntu.com/1635657/ | 07:17 |

| AirCombat | I mean, I'm falling in love with linux, and there's no way in heck I'm switching back. I managed to get ubuntu to see my windows external HDD and so I can finally try to stream but it just lags. | 07:17 |
| devslash | Thanks | 07:17 |
| katy | stop: Unknown instance: | 07:18 |
| katy | lightdm start/running, process 2651 | 07:18 |
| syntroPi | katy, can you provide us with "dmesg | pastebinit" btw? | 07:19 |
| DaemonicApathy | wiggmpk: try killing pulseaudio first | 07:19 |
| AirCombat | how can I make 12.10 less graphically intense to free up some resources for streaming? local video playback is fine, though, so I wonder if that is even the problem | 07:19 |
| aeon-ltd | AirCombat: don't use unity or compiz | 07:19 |
| wiggmpk | DaemonicApathy: I've tried it in the paste, but I'll give it a quick try again.. gonna get disconnected quick | 07:19 |
| DaemonicApathy | AirCombat: Have you already tried logging into Unity 2D instead of the default Unity? | 07:20 |
| AirCombat | no, I didn't know that was possible, lol. maybe that'll help | 07:20 |
| AirCombat | can I change that to be the default from now on? | 07:20 |
| DaemonicApathy | Or, as aeon-ltd suggested, you could avoid them entirely...but yeah, just log out, change to Unity2D and log back in. | 07:20 |
| katy | http://paste.ubuntu.com/1635671/ | 07:21 |
| AirCombat | Where's the option for that? | 07:21 |
| wiggmpk | DaemonicApathy: i used "pulseaudio -k" and then hit suspend, still get kicked back to my lock screen. Am I killing pulseaudio properly? | 07:21 |
| DaemonicApathy | By default, loggin out is done at the top right panel option on your screen. | 07:22 |
| AirCombat | no, I know how to log out, lol. I meant change to 2D | 07:22 |
| devslash | e_t I backed out of the partitioning part of the installer. When I run the first cryptsetup command it says that sda4 is in use | 07:22 |
| DaemonicApathy | wiggmpk: sudo killall pulseaudio, or end it from the system monitor if you prefer | 07:22 |
| katy | syntroPi: any change? | 07:22 |
| syntroPi | katy, hmm that was before you did that service lightdm restart ? | 07:22 |
| DaemonicApathy | AirCombat: At the login, there's an option at the top right of your account name. | 07:22 |
| wiggmpk | DaemonicApathy: I'll give it another shot | 07:23 |
| AirCombat | okay cool. brb. btw thanks for your help DaemonicApathy | 07:23 |

| wiggmpk | DaemonicApathy: same result, only this time didnt get a lock screen, just flashes like its gonna do it and then back to desktop | 07:24 |

| syntroPi | katy, can you provide "lsmod | pastebinit" ? | 07:27 |
| AirCombat | hmm, so there were no graphical options on the login screen. just very basic options in the uper right.\ | 07:27 |
| Halite | :O | 07:28 |
| DaemonicApathy | AirCombat, I'm sorry. I forgot it was removed in 12.10 | 07:28 |
| Halite | Obsolete packages | 07:28 |
| katy | http://paste.ubuntu.com/1635682/ | 07:29 |
| AirCombat | can i do it manually? | 07:29 |
| Halite | How do I install or upgrade packages | 07:29 |
| AirCombat | Halite: use Ubuntu Software Manager or sudo apt-get install (package name) | 07:29 |
| spyzer | hey guys anyone has any idea which graphics perofrmance test should i run on ubuntu 12.04 from phoronix for testing? | 07:29 |
| Halite | thanks | 07:29 |
| Halite | I needed sudo apt-get | 07:29 |
| AirCombat | sorry, ubuntu software center. | 07:30 |
| wiggmpk | DaemonicApathy: I'll keep that in mind as a last resort, but it was working with a previous kernel and would rather debug it so it works without extra packages | 07:30 |
| === Kitar|st_ is now known as Kitar|st | ||
| wiggmpk | DaemonicApathy: thanks for the info mate | 07:30 |
| DaemonicApathy | AirCombat: If you install compizconfig-settings-manager, you can set up a command to toggle Unity entirely. Or just install a lighter DM. | 07:30 |
| spyzer | anybody please | 07:30 |
| DaemonicApathy | spyzer, run all of them. | 07:31 |
| AirCombat | okay, I'll install that now. how do I configure it? | 07:31 |
| syntroPi | katy, hmm looks fine | 07:32 |
| Halite | takes some time | 07:32 |
| DaemonicApathy | AirCombat: It has a handy GUI. | 07:32 |
| b0nn | hm, I installed libgl1-mesa-glx-lts-quantal on my system, now the system is unbootable, how do I remove the glx files and replace them with the ones that were working? | 07:32 |
| katy | what do you mean by that? Do you think I will be able to reboot in regular mode? | 07:32 |
| AirCombat | okay, DaemonicApathy I'll give it a shot... brb :) | 07:32 |
| spyzer | DaemonicApathy, So whom do i compare those to? | 07:32 |
| spyzer | DaemonicApathy, some weird issue is happening to my pandaboard ubuntu 12.04 with hardware acceleration shows 19 fps in glx gears but ubuntu 12.10 with software rendering shows 40 fps | 07:33 |
| spyzer | I wish to debug this out thorugh phoronix test suite | 07:33 |
| Halite | I was going to ask a question on why my computer recently had a Kernel Panic, but the report details said the reason for me! | 07:33 |
| spyzer | so if i run all tests where can i find a comparison standard data | 07:33 |
| spyzer | ? | 07:33 |
| DaemonicApathy | No idea, spyzer. You could ask phoronix. | 07:34 |
| syntroPi | katy, means it looks as all modules are loaded as they should and you are in normal mode right now. so why wouldnt "sudo service lightdm restart" work and just crash Xorg??? idk | 07:34 |
| DaemonicApathy | Halite: Don't you love Linux? :-) | 07:34 |
| Halite | DaemonicApathy, I do | 07:34 |
| Halite | DaemonicApathy, it tells me why my computer had a Kernel Panic before I even go to ask the question of why! | 07:35 |
| syntroPi | katy, reboot wouldnt work since we didnt change the right bits yet i think | 07:35 |
| DaemonicApathy | And no blue screen. | 07:35 |
| Halite | DaemonicApathy, it turned out to be some obsolete package versions. I've got to upgrade them. | 07:35 |
| Halite | you're right, the screen was black at Kernel Panic time | 07:36 |
| Halite | what's wrong with blue, though | 07:36 |
| DaemonicApathy | "sudo apt-get update ; sudo apt-get upgrade" | 07:36 |
| DaemonicApathy | Blue is depressing. They did a color study. | 07:36 |
| AirCombat | Halite: it means Windows ;) | 07:36 |
| Halite | do red then | 07:36 |
| katy | syntroPi: ok so what do we want to change? | 07:36 |
| Halite | red is happy | 07:36 |
| Halite | red is luuuv | 07:36 |
| b0nn | what if someone is red/green blind? | 07:37 |
| syntroPi | katy, good question... | 07:37 |
| Halite | b0nn, good point | 07:37 |
| Halite | b0nn, then the screen will be brown :P | 07:37 |
| AirCombat | btw DaemonicApathy there's a lot of options but I'm not sure where to start. the only option in the 'profile' is unity | 07:37 |
| b0nn | or grey :) | 07:37 |
| b0nn | no chance you can help me with my problem? | 07:37 |
| izx | How to fix this error?? >> "Can't overwrite existing read-only value: Value for `/desktop/gnome/background/picture_filename' set in a read-only source at the front of your configuration path" | 07:37 |
| syntroPi | katy, that last lightdm didnt do anything? | 07:37 |
| Halite | it only appears grey if you're totally colourblind (only see black and white) | 07:38 |
| Halite | it appears brown if you're red-green colorblind | 07:38 |
| b0nn | the oh | 07:38 |
| Halite | and appears red if you see colour perfectly | 07:38 |
| DaemonicApathy | AirCombat: You can adjust any of the settings to your liking, and simply disable Unity for streaming if it helps enough. I overuse "Commands" myself. | 07:38 |
| Chomps | @izx: change the permissions on the "picture_filename" | 07:39 |
| Halite | (I know the changes in colour for a colour-blind person from my heart) | 07:39 |
| AirCombat | so I could just uncheck "Enable ubuntu Unity Plugin" ? | 07:39 |
| DaemonicApathy | Yup. | 07:39 |
| Halite | I can tell you that red and green will look brown in a red-green colourblind person, and aqua would look grey-ish | 07:39 |
| syntroPi | katy, since we are in normal mode now try another "sudo nvidia-xconfig" and "sudo service lightdm restart" | 07:39 |
| b0nn | I installed libgl1-mesa-glx-quantal, the system wouldn't reboot after that (hangs on X11 initialisation) . I want to reinstall what was removed by the install, and remove libmesa* | 07:40 |
| AirCombat | uh... how do I change windows now?? lol. | 07:40 |
| syntroPi | katy, actually "sudo service lightdm stop" "sudo nvidia-xconfig" and "sudo service lightdm restart" | 07:40 |
| Chomps | why not just go with the Ubuntu light green colours... | 07:40 |
| DaemonicApathy | The idea is to already be where you want to be. But I'd wager alt+tab or Super+tab still work. | 07:40 |

| AirCombat | omg!!! I KNEW those were somewhere!! I used to use linux when I was like 13 and I knew those were somewhere!! | 08:06 |
| luisgmarine | dr_willis, everything looks good in my /smb.conf but still get the same error. When I try to share folder by right-clicking it, am I suppose to be in super mode? | 08:06 |
| dr_willis | luisgmarine: users can create user defined shares.. but i rarely use the feature.. | 08:07 |
| b0nn | hm, what are the packages required for a desktop, such as unity? | 08:07 |
| dr_willis | luisgmarine: about all i ever do is define the Homes share | 08:07 |
| fidel | ubuntu-desktop (as meta-package most likely) | 08:07 |
| syntroPi | katy, ok can you "ls -l /sys/class/backlight/gmux_backlight" | 08:08 |
| luisgmarine | dr_willis, hmm I'm sort of lost. I thought setting up a folder to share on my home network would be a lot easier than this, but I think tinkering with my system I screwed something up | 08:08 |
| fidel | b0nn: so installing 'ubuntu-desktop' should bring all relevant packages to you | 08:08 |
| dr_willis | luisgmarine: on a new install.. i just right click, share... and it normally works.. | 08:08 |

| luisgmarine | dr_willis, what do you mean by defining? | 08:10 |

| syntroPi | katy, ok maybe we try writing to brightness | 08:14 |
| katy | ok lets do it | 08:14 |
| syntroPi | katy, "cat /sys/class/backlight/gmux_backlight/brightness" | 08:14 |
| katy | http://paste.ubuntu.com/1635758/ | 08:15 |
| sencha | Any reason 3d games are _significantly_ slower on Ubuntu than on my previous Slackware installation? | 08:16 |
| sencha | I've noticed the same thing in Debian as well. | 08:16 |
| syntroPi | katy, ok hmm now its on 101227 and the link before said "backlight_brightness range 0-82311" | 08:16 |
| dr_willis | sencha: turn off compiz/use a lighter desktop/window manager | 08:16 |
| syntroPi | katy, but that was /sys/devices/virtual/backlight/apple_backlight/subsystem/gmux_backlight/brightness | 08:17 |
| sencha | dr_willis, :( | 08:17 |
| katy | is that a command? | 08:17 |
| dr_willis | sencha: ? | 08:18 |
| katy | do we need to change the brightness settings? | 08:18 |
| sencha | dr_willis, the whole point of using ubuntu is to be able to use unity lol | 08:18 |
| syntroPi | katy maybe we try something like "sudo sh -c 'echo -n "80000" > /sys/class/backlight/gmux_backlight/brightness'" | 08:18 |
| ShukkoO | I get the message /dev/mapper/ubuntu-swap_1 is not ready yet or not present and after that i can log in but then everything freezes. Whats wrong? | 08:18 |
| aeon-ltd | sencha: disagree, ubuntu is good to use because of it's expansive support and stability | 08:19 |
| dr_willis | sencha: unity and compiz use the 3d system and system resources... give us more details about what games and perhaps we can figure out more.. or test them in a lighter desktop | 08:19 |
| katy | syntroPi: ok i ran it there was no output. | 08:19 |
| syntroPi | katy thats normal | 08:19 |
| sencha | dr_willis, neverball, xonotic are all I've tried thus far | 08:19 |
| sencha | dr_willis, xonotic, for example, runs 30-50 FPS on ubuntu, whereas I get 300+ on slackware | 08:20 |
| dr_willis | sencha: and your video drivers are? and whats your video card? | 08:20 |
| sencha | dr_willis, nvidia geforce 9800 GTX+ | 08:20 |
| sencha | dr_willis, using the official nvidia driver | 08:20 |
| katy | ok. is there a next step? | 08:20 |
| dr_willis | what do you mean 'official' where did you install them from? | 08:20 |
| syntroPi | katy maybe we also need to do "cat /sys/class/backlight/gmux_backlight/actual_brightness" as well as "cat /sys/class/backlight/gmux_backlight/max_brightness" and "cat /sys/class/backlight/gmux_backlight/power" | 08:20 |
| sencha | dr_willis, installed it from the ubuntu software center | 08:20 |
| sencha | dr_willis, official nvidia blob as opposed to nouveau | 08:21 |
| syntroPi | katy, forget the power one thats a dir | 08:21 |
| syntroPi | katy, whats in actual_brightness? | 08:21 |
| dr_willis | sencha: ran nvidia-settings tobe sure they are actually being used? | 08:22 |
| syntroPi | katy, replace that power one with "cat /sys/class/backlight/gmux_backlight/bl_power" | 08:22 |
| katy | i just ran, "cat /sys/class/backlight/gmux_backlight/actual_brightness" and it game me diffenrt prompt with the ">" before where i can type | 08:22 |
| syntroPi | katy, ctr D | 08:22 |
| b0nn | got it, was missing xserver and xorg, these came down with ubuntu-desktop | 08:22 |
| sencha | dr_willis, appears to be | 08:23 |
| syntroPi | you mistyped somewhere? probably with quotes | 08:23 |
| b0nn | man that was painful, I wish there was a apt-get undo my last stupid install and replace the files you removed | 08:23 |
| katy | cat: /sys/class/backlight/gmux_backlight/power: Is a directory | 08:23 |
| dr_willis | sencha: test it in a light window manager. such as jwm. see if it gives you any moar speeds. | 08:23 |
| syntroPi | katy ok sorry i was a bit too fast | 08:23 |
| syntroPi | katy what does cat /sys/class/backlight/gmux_backlight/actual_brightness" give you ? | 08:24 |
| katy | the output of the last one u gave me was "0 | 08:24 |

| joshuafcole | Hey there. I've got a bit of a quandary. I was running a mass of updates on my server when I stopped home this weekend. It turns out, at least one of them required user-interaction. I don't have retty installed, and my old VNC program Guacamole is failing to actually VNC anymore. Any way to steal the process so I can finish the update, or failing that, safely halt it to resume in a new TTY? | 09:00 |
| cfhowlett | joshuafcole, good question for #ubuntuserver ??? | 09:01 |
| joshuafcole | I use apt-get for package management, in case its relevant. | 09:01 |
| joshuafcole | Okay, I'll check there. Thanks! | 09:01 |
| dr_willis | !info retty | 09:01 |

| dr_willis | cant say ive ever used retty.. ;) | 09:01 |
| joshuafcole | Neither have I, it came up in my RTFM'ing. =P | 09:01 |
| joshuafcole | cfhowlett: the #ubuntuserver channel appears to be empty. =/ | 09:02 |
| dr_willis | if its waiting for user input and you kill the apt prcess.. i think somthing like 'sudo apt-get reconfigure -a' will make it reconfigure.. and continue.. i maybe wrong on the option however. | 09:02 |
| dr_willis | or was it dpkg-reconfigure -a | 09:02 |
| cfhowlett | joshuafcole, drop the question there, come back here ... | 09:02 |
| cfhowlett | dr_willis, apt-get update --f or --repair in this case??? | 09:03 |
| joshuafcole | I'm afraid I don't understand, cfhowlett. The channel appears to be completely empty except for me. Is it on a different network? | 09:03 |
| Myrtti | joshuafcole: #ubuntu-server | 09:03 |

| captainlinux | Guys how do you think, is it better to kind of merge webapp icons with applications which are calling them? I mean - the more tabs I open in my firefox the more webapps get called and at the end my dash is full of useless icons which I don't even touch. Wouldn't it be better just to change the Icon of Firefox according to the active webapp and to change the icon every time you change the tab calling another webapp? | 09:23 |
| dr_willis | i think the whole webapp idea needs rethought. ;) | 09:24 |
| cfhowlett | spyzer, pandaboard? whateverthatis ... OK, well, if you can see the package in your repos, take your chances I suppose. Sorry I can't offer more definitive advice .... | 09:24 |
| captainlinux | dr_willis: I totally agree. Until now I haven't seen any use of it. I don't even know what any of those webapps has changed in the system. I haven't noticed anything yet.

| nassepossu | hi, do you have any ideas why mouse pointer is only able to move vertically | 09:37 |
| fidel | nassepossu: can you reproduce that with another mouse (hardware) | 09:37 |
| nassepossu | i don't have another mouse available | 09:38 |
| nassepossu | but it's an optical mouse so hardware problems would sound weird to me considering it moves up and down | 09:38 |
| dr_willis | seen broken wires act that way. | 09:39 |
| nassepossu | that sounds sensible | 09:39 |
| nassepossu | the pointer is fixed to the left side of screen and when i hit RMB, it opens a dialog in the rightmost side of screen too | 09:41 |
| fidel | nassepossu: i would try to 'test' with another mouse. shouldnt be impossible nowadays to ask a neighbour or something like that | 09:43 |
| fidel | that easily answers the question if its an hardware issue | 09:43 |
| dr_willis | smack the rat on the table hard a few times.. ;P | 09:47 |

| W4RH4WK | hello, whats the recommended way of altering startup procedures done by upstart (no GUI) just altering the configs using a texteditor? | 10:09 |
| dr_willis | W4RH4WK: basically yes. depending on what you need to alter. | 10:10 |
| dr_willis | upstart has several ways to disable a service. then theres altereing the .conf files as needed. | 10:10 |
| W4RH4WK | dr_willis: for example i don't want 'atd' to start automatically | 10:10 |
| dr_willis | the 'upstart cookbook' mentions like 3 ways to keep a service from starting. | 10:11 |
| dr_willis | !upstart | 10:11 |
| ubottu | Upstart is meant to replace the old Sys V Init system with an event-driven init model. For more information please see: http://upstart.ubuntu.com/ | 10:12 |

| dr_willis | superdo: whatever OS id handling grub should see the other os's and add an entry. | 10:53 |
| Ohmage | bazhang: i am at that page and have been rigourously researching | 10:53 |
| superdo | ok | 10:53 |
| Ohmage | theres just a few things i dont fully understand that i want to iron out before i install. firstly does this installer make a efi. bootloader for the grub menu | 10:54 |
| Ohmage | like will i be able to see both windows and ubuntu to boot from dual boot menu | 10:55 |
| tad_pole | I have been trying various distros going to stick with ubunto.. but i messed my MBR's and Partitions up with all my dinking around: I just made new partition tables, clean ubuntustudio install, and it wont boot - i tried boot-repair howtos and that is not working and now i can not get this darn LVM to go away either so I can try a reinstall. at a loss. | 10:55 |
| ozy | i'm tryign to install ubuntu 12.10 from a usb stick, and I am not even getting to the grub menu -- I am getting some goffy icon at the bottom of the screen for a few minutes (and usb activity lights) and then it goes to a prompt in the upper left of the screen, becomes unresponsive, and the actiovity light goes stedy | 10:56 |
| Ohmage | as i have some convoluted issues this is why i was suggesting possibly carrying on some help in a private chat | 10:56 |
| dr_willis | tad_pole: i never use lvm, so no idea on those. You could use dd or gparted on a live cd and try to totally blank the hd. then repartion it | 10:56 |
| tad_pole | dr_willis: I just did three times. :/ | 10:57 |
| Ohmage | dr_willis: do u mind pm? | 10:57 |
| dr_willis | ozy: goofy icon like a 'man = keyboard' ? | 10:57 |
| tad_pole | Well I tried gparted three times and dd once | 10:57 |
| ozy | might be a keyboard = man with circle around it. It's smaller, and low resolution | 10:57 |
| savagecroc | when calling apt-get --just-print upgrade .. what does it mean when it prefixes it with conf? | 10:57 |
| dr_willis | I have never used any EFI or windows 8 systems Ohmage | 10:57 |
| Ohmage | oh ok dammit lol | 10:58 |
| tad_pole | I used win8 for about 5 minutes that was enough for me :/ | 10:58 |
| dr_willis | ozy: normally you hite the space when you see that icon and it goes to some option screens. | 10:58 |

| tad_pole | Purchasing microsoft/intel/whoever decides to be evilest's crappy locked hardware :) | 11:13 |
| ejv | what is a logical recourse? buying UEFI mobo's with early enough firmware that haven't introduced secure boot? are any vendors simply going to write UEFI firmware without it at all? i'd support that with my wallet. | 11:14 |
| Ohmage | ejv it seems though that with the Linux Foundation signed bootloader or SHIM loader that it can all be negated to a degree, its just made the whole thing a lot less user friendly | 11:15 |

| Ohmage | no worries | 11:34 |
| ejv | please don't set everything to 777 or some insanity joesh; that's a good way to brick your installation | 11:35 |

| MatthewL | What is jwm? | 11:36 |
| joesh | ejv: chmod 775 is what I'll use? read and execute? | 11:36 |
| wdp | I'm trying to let xfce4 start automatically. but somehow it always starts gnome automatically. In the login manager I've set xfce as default session. Sadly I don't remember how I configured the automatic start (and login) of gnome some years ago. | 11:37 |
| ejv | 775 says to give user, everything, group everything, and world, read and execute; that's not what you want. | 11:37 |
| cfhowlett | wdp, what version of ubuntu are you running? | 11:37 |
| dr_willis | joesh: its worth the 10 min.. reading up on chmod and what the #'s mean. | 11:37 |
| wdp | cfhowlett, just updated that, so current. | 11:37 |
| cfhowlett | wdp, so 12.10 ... weird behavior. whatever you login with should set the default for next time ... | 11:38 |
| MatthewL | Cool beans | ubottu | 11:38 |
| wdp | cfhowlett, indeed. Wondering if there is any other way to achieve what i want to do. probably another login manager which would do that? | 11:38 |

| Josssse | dr_willis, Since i had to boot from livecd I had to use the grub-mkconfig -o /media/.... to run the actual update-grub command. But i get an error: cannot finde a device for is /dev mounted? | 11:40 |
| Josssse | What could I do? | 11:40 |
| Naphatul | is there a way for me to see boot time's and a breakdown? | 11:40 |
| dr_willis | Josssse: you can use the rescue/recovery mode to get into the system. or at the grub menu - edit it. to add the 'nomodeset' option the first time.. then edit the /etc/default/grub file | 11:41 |
| larst | Should i pick 12.10 or 12.04? | 11:41 |
| ShukkoO | how can i make a hotkey, so that i can open the terminal by f.ex pressing "ctrl+r". | 11:41 |
| dr_willis | larst: you want latest versionof packages... or long term support. | 11:41 |
| dr_willis | ShukkoO: alt-ctrl-t ooens a terminal. | 11:41 |
| Josssse | dr_willis, How do i acess grub menu or recovery mode?? | 11:42 |
| larst | Dr_willis not sure | 11:42 |
| dr_willis | Josssse: when you boot up - you see the grub menu. hit e | 11:42 |
| dr_willis | !grub2 | 11:42 |
| Naphatul | Josssse, pres ESC on boot | 11:42 |
| ubottu | GRUB2 is the default Ubuntu boot manager since 9.10 (Karmic). Lost GRUB after installing Windows? See https://help.ubuntu.com/community/RestoreGrub - For more information and troubleshooting for GRUB2 please refer to https://help.ubuntu.com/community/Grub2 - See !grub1 for releases before Karmic (9.10) | 11:42 |
| dr_willis | or press/hold shift... if its hidden | 11:42 |
| larst | !lts | 11:43 |
| ubottu | LTS means Long Term Support. LTS versions of Ubuntu will be supported for 3 years on the desktop, and 5 years on the server; with the exception of 12.04 (Precise Pangolin), which will be supported for 5 years on the desktop. The current LTS version of Ubuntu is !Precise (Precise Pangolin 12.04) | 11:43 |
| larst | !precise | 11:43 |
| ubottu | Ubuntu 12.04 LTS (Precise Pangolin) is the current !LTS release of Ubuntu. Download http://releases.ubuntu.com/12.04/ - Release Info: http://www.ubuntu.com/getubuntu/releasenotes/1204 | 11:43 |
| Josssse | Swee, thanks a lot guys! | 11:44 |
| Josssse | This would do it. | 11:44 |
| dr_willis | last time i needed nomodset.. i just had to use it once.. then get the nvidia drivers installed. | 11:44 |
| Ohmage | dr_willis: would u say that ubuntu is the best out of box distro to make best use of a laptop and its batttery ? | 11:45 |
| larst | Dr_willis what would you pick | 11:45 |
| dr_willis | larst: i always use the latest.. i dont have much need for lts features | 11:46 |
| dr_willis | Ohmage: newer releases alwaos have newer drivers and so forth | 11:46 |
| Joupi | larst : If you are on company or production environment, prefer LTS for stability, else at home I guess you would go for last one ... | 11:47 |
| Ohmage | yes but i mean in terms of the best linux distros relating to resource management on laptops, my new machine when on win8 full charge has roughly 5 hours life, on fedora 18 it was 2 at best | 11:47 |
| Ohmage | dr_willis: just wondering if what i read about ubuntu was true that is the best distro for laptops | 11:48 |
| ikonia | Ohmage: that is incorrect | 11:48 |
| ikonia | Ohmage: that's probably down to poor apci support in linux, no distro will make a difference | 11:48 |
| ikonia | Ubuntu is no better/worse than the other main distribtuions | 11:48 |
| Ohmage | ok | 11:48 |
| Ohmage | thats what i thought, it must be just a matter of what you have on the system within the distro | 11:49 |
| ikonia | Ohmage: no | 11:49 |
| mpma | Good afternoon | 11:49 |

| ikonia | setre: it's in pre-release state, #ubuntu+1 for discussion | 11:56 |

| cfhowlett | setre, again see the channel ubuntu+1 | 11:56 |

| mpma | april** | 11:58 |

| mpma | hence the ".04" meaning the fourth month of the year | 11:58 |
| dr_willis | setre: the version # IS the year/month of release | 11:58 |
| mpma | and ".10" being the tenth mouth | 11:58 |
| Joupi | setre : 13=2013 ; 04=april | 11:58 |

| setre | like windows 98 | 11:58 |

| mpma | yes, exactly like windows 98 | 11:58 |
| tad-pole | What about windows 2000?~!?" | 11:58 |
| setre | learn from the master | 11:58 |
| dr_willis | ahh... the year 2000.. when every silly app had to have 2000 or 2k in the name... | 11:59 |
| dr_willis | These days it seems everything has to have 'HD' in the name | 11:59 |
| setre | dr_willis: hopefully we will not be around for "the year 3000" | 11:59 |
| dr_willis | Phear the Y3K bug! | 12:00 |
| wdp | dr_willis, in a half year everything will have VR in it's name. | 12:00 |
| setre | that sounds about right | 12:00 |
| setre | or whatever scrumjax word will become associated with google glass and the like | 12:01 |

| cellanwilliams | coolio thanks <dr_willis> | 12:06 |
| cfhowlett | cellanwilliams, do you have the installation tutorial from the wiki for this procedure? | 12:07 |
| mpma | will everyone make the switch to 13.04 on release-day? | 12:10 |
| dr_willis | mpma: i imagine thats a 'no' ;) | 12:10 |
| cfhowlett | mpma, LTS only ... | 12:10 |
| dr_willis | since the servers couldent handle the load.. | 12:10 |
| mpma | cfhowlett: 13.04 will be LTS? | 12:10 |
| * cfhowlett thinks point releases are a better bet in any case | 12:10 | |
| dr_willis | !lts | 12:10 |
| ubottu | LTS means Long Term Support. LTS versions of Ubuntu will be supported for 3 years on the desktop, and 5 years on the server; with the exception of 12.04 (Precise Pangolin), which will be supported for 5 years on the desktop. The current LTS version of Ubuntu is !Precise (Precise Pangolin 12.04) | 12:10 |
| cfhowlett | mpma, it will NOT. | 12:10 |
| dr_willis | 13.04 is not a LTS release | 12:11 |
| mpma | i thought every .04 was LTS | 12:11 |
| tad-pole | I like rice. | 12:11 |
| cfhowlett | mpma, you were misinformed | 12:11 |
| mpma | cfhowlett: so LTS only switches in 5 year intervals | 12:11 |
| cfhowlett | mpma, 12.04 at present. 14.04 is the next LTS | 12:11 |
| cfhowlett | mpma, no, SUPPORT is for 5 years. release is every 2 years presently. | 12:11 |
| mpma | cfhowlett: I see | 12:12 |
| DJones | mpma: LTS versions are released every two years and are supported for 3 years on desktop, 5 years on server versions | 12:12 |
| dr_willis | 12.04 is special. ;) | 12:12 |
| cfhowlett | ops the ubottu factoid for LTS is incorrect in stating that support is for 3 years on the desktop | 12:12 |
| dr_willis | 'with the exception of....' | 12:13 |
| dr_willis | they gave 12.04 a longer term. | 12:13 |
| mpma | what version are you guys running now? | 12:13 |
| cfhowlett | dr_willis, ah. I thought all future LTS went to 5 years. good to know. | 12:13 |
| mpma | <-- 12.04 | 12:13 |
| dr_willis | 5 years is like half a decade in computer years... ;P | 12:14 |
| dr_willis | 5 years from now.. who knows what we will be running.. 64 core arm based desktop machines that only use 1W of powar.. ;P | 12:14 |

| sakkemo | <- 12.10, couldn't get wifi to work with 12.04 (Lenovo E130) | 12:17 |
| cfhowlett | mpma, several people are. I prefer not to deal with install issues every 6 months, so LTS works fine for me. | 12:17 |
| sakkemo | didn't spend that much time trying as it worked out-of-box with 12.10 | 12:17 |
| mpma | tried 12.10 yesterday, horrible performance issues | 12:17 |

| FelixTheCat | cfhowlett: yeah i'm just trying to install ubuntu over the top of puppy (wipe puppy, get ubuntu) | 12:43 |
| === qos|away is now known as qos | ||
| cfhowlett | FelixTheCat, ok that makes sense. that's an unfamiliar error you got. did you md5sum verify the iso you downloaded?? | 12:43 |
| FelixTheCat | cfhowlett: it was, back when i downloaded it | 12:44 |
| === Guest71229 is now known as neilrobau | ||
| cfhowlett | FelixTheCat, and you burned an iso/usb? | 12:44 |
| FelixTheCat | 10.4 beta i do beleve | 12:44 |
| FelixTheCat | cfhowlett: yes | 12:44 |
| tad-pole | FelixTheCat why are you using 10.4 beta? | 12:45 |
| cfhowlett | FelixTheCat, wait, you're booting beta? latest LTS ubuntu is 12.04, latest interim is 12.10. choose one | 12:45 |
| FelixTheCat | tad-pole: only install cd i have | 12:45 |
| tad-pole | Order a new one if you can not download? | 12:46 |
| cfhowlett | FelixTheCat, of COURSE beta is going to do strange things ... | 12:46 |
| dr_willis | or use a usb flash. ;) | 12:46 |
| FelixTheCat | cfhowlett: it says (on busybox prompt) ubuntu 1:1.2-2ubuntu6 | 12:46 |
| cfhowlett | FelixTheCat, sorry, but I have to bail from this discussion ... 10.04 beta? not worth discussing IMHO | 12:47 |
| tad-pole | dr_willis I was assuming he just cant download an iso. but true. | 12:47 |
| tad-pole | FelixTheCat You need to get a current version or atleast a stable one | 12:47 |
| FelixTheCat | well, the question is, tad-pole cfhowlett ect will it run on that old laptop | 12:47 |
| cfhowlett | FelixTheCat, note ... 10.04 is end of life quite shortly ... | 12:47 |
| cfhowlett | FelixTheCat, you didn't specify your hardware ... or I didn't see it. that said, lubuntu or xubuntu are both optimized for old and low spec machines. | 12:48 |
| tad-pole | FelixTheCat They have distro's specifically for legacy hardware I believe | 12:48 |
| FelixTheCat | cfhowlett: its a sony vaio pcg-n505sn | 12:49 |
| cfhowlett | FelixTheCat, try lubuntu or xubuntu 12.04 | 12:49 |

| histo | FelixTheCat: I would definately recomend xubuntu or lubuntu 32bit then. | 12:56 |
| tad-pole | nkl_ Download unetbootin | 12:56 |
| tad-pole | It will do it for you | 12:56 |

| tad-pole | nkl_ the choice it shows by default if you have usb mounted should work | 12:57 |

| tad-pole | nkl_ Use gparted to make a new partition table on usb | 12:57 |
| nkl_ | cfhowlett, 10.04 still rule! | 12:57 |
| bekks | nkl_: Why are you trying to run fdisk -l? What do you want to do? What that sdc, some USB drive? | 12:57 |
| cfhowlett | nkl_, OK ... on your head, then ... | 12:57 |
| nkl_ | omg why is that complicated!! why gparted now :( | 12:58 |
| histo | k2ai: Or you can search askubuntu for a solution to your problem since no one here knows | 12:58 |
| nkl_ | sdc is usb bekks | 12:58 |
| histo | k2ai: You have a common laptop model so i'm sure someone else would have experienced what you are if it's a bug. | 12:58 |
| tad-pole | nkl_ Gotta pay the cost to be the boss. If it is easy it is not worth it :) | 12:58 |

| kingbeast | trying to use the ethernet port on my laptop to use my wireless to a wired router | 13:00 |
| tad-pole | histo Agreed! | 13:01 |
| histo | kingbeast: that makes absolutely no sense | 13:01 |

| nkl_ | it is still unallocated | 13:02 |
| cfhowlett | nkl_, select the area you want to format first ... | 13:03 |
| histo | nkl_: delete whatever partition is on /dev/sdc then create a new one. Then select type as fat32 | 13:03 |

| nkl_ | ok, histo now it is green | 13:04 |
| nkl_ | so, now to continue with unetbootin? | 13:05 |

| nkl_ | fat | 13:05 |

| histo | nkl_: now write teh changes exit gparted. Then fire up unetbootin and be done. | 13:05 |
| nkl_ | histo, how to write? | 13:05 |
| histo | nkl_: The green checkbox I believe is apply | 13:06 |

| ubottu | bazorf: It's not technically our business, but we'd like to tell you that IRC'ing as root is a Very Bad Idea (tm). After all, doing anything as root when root is not needed is bad, and especially bad with software that connects to the Internet. | 13:37 |

| bekks | sqrt7744: Then look for the following output: ps -aux | grep chrom | 13:45 |
| X-Scorpion | Windows Server 2008 R2 | 13:45 |
| iceroot | X-Scorpion: then samba4 is the only way | 13:45 |

| X-Scorpion | but i don't know how to do it | 13:45 |
| bekks | sqrt7744: As you can see, the full path is displayed - so your terminal is just too small. :) | 13:45 |

| flintser | i know this isn't appropriate place for this but i need quick help. can i install mysql with root account? i want to use wordpress so can i install it with root account | 13:51 |
| mercsniper | TY Pici | 13:51 |
| iceroot | flintser: sudo apt-get install mysql-server | 13:52 |
| Pici | flintser: if you're using Ubuntu, this is the right place for that question | 13:52 |
| iceroot | flintser: DONT!!! run a database itself with the mysql-root user, always create an own user for each database which is not able to read/write other databases | 13:52 |
| flintser | i have installed all that. but when i created mysql database i did it with root so i need to use root privileges in wordpress install. | 13:53 |
| iceroot | flintser: dont do that! | 13:53 |
| bekks | flintser: No. Thats notr true. DONT do that. | 13:53 |
| flintser | ok :) what do i need to do then | 13:53 |
| iceroot | flintser: create a new user which can only read/write the specific database | 13:53 |
| ikonia | flintser: mysql's root user, is not the systems root user | 13:53 |
| flintser | so i adduser xxx and give it read/write to mysql-database | 13:54 |
| ikonia | flintser: no | 13:55 |
| c2tarun | Can anyone please tell me that why is evolution removed from Ubuntu and Thunderbird is the new default mail client? | 13:55 |
| ikonia | flintser: the mysql users are internal to mysql | 13:55 |
| ThinkT510 | c2tarun: i don't know why, however evolution is still in the repos | 13:56 |
| flintser | well at the mysql-server install it asked for mysql root password and i gave it one, different of my real root account, so when wordpress asks for account / password can i use root + the password mysql-server asked | 13:56 |
| OerHeks | c2tarun, why thunderbird >> http://askubuntu.com/a/57094 | 13:56 |
| c2tarun | ThinkT510, yeah, and there is BIG problem with thunderbird :( its message pane is only single line. It doesn't support multiple line message pane. | 13:56 |
| ikonia | flintser: do not use the mysql root account | 13:57 |
| bekks | flintser: DONT use the mysql-root user for anything. Creat another mysql-user which only has r/w access to the database desired. | 13:57 |
| ikonia | flintser: I really suggest you read the basic wordpress documents that advise you against this | 13:57 |
| flintser | i did the 5-minute installation all the way to this point where it asks for that username/password combination. this is why i ask because i'm really scared to do anything with root :D | 13:58 |
| c2tarun | OerHeks, hmm.... are you guys able to get a double line message pane in thunderbird, or you use single line only? | 13:59 |
| ikonia | flintser: #wordpress will guide you | 13:59 |

| zefuros | any ideas? | 14:08 |

| Quest | flintser recuva only gives the option for deleted files. am i correct? | 14:14 |
| bnkprob | is there some place in ubuntu where different behaviour is configured? | 14:14 |
| nibbler_ | Quest: you say your harddrive partitions are "to be formated" - you mean the one in the usb case (target?) or the source device of the data? | 14:14 |
| ThinkT510 | bnkprob: maybe just sloppy website coding which breaks in newer browsers | 14:14 |

| piyush | yea nibbler i used AHCI mode frm intel smart security but still same prblm | 14:15 |

| zefuros | the windows are on my ssd drive and the ubuntu on my hdd, is there a way to check if windows 8 are installed in EFI or legacy mode? | 14:41 |

| zefuros | no i built the machine myself and installed windows 7 then updated to 8 | 14:42 |
| zefuros | yes i can | 14:42 |

| friend | Hello help me download youtube videos | 14:42 |
| Ohmage | ah ok | 14:42 |
| zefuros | how can i put it on uefi mode? | 14:42 |
| Ohmage | go to boot settings | 14:43 |
| Ohmage | should be an enable | 14:43 |
| Ohmage | in boot sub menu | 14:43 |
| zefuros | ok so i must restart now to check that right? | 14:43 |
| Ohmage | might as well | 14:43 |
| GermainZ | Hey everyone, I installed 12.04 and it fixed some of the issues I was having with 12.10, but my brightness is still locked to the max. Reading around the web, it's suggested to upgrade my BIOS, but it's already updated (although it is kinda old, latest update: late 2011). Also installed modifying grub, without effect. Any suggestions at all? Thanks! | 14:43 |
| Ohmage | if it does nothing then go back to legacy and im not sure what u need to do im afraid | 14:44 |
| friend | Pls i want help to download youtube videos | 14:44 |
| zefuros | ok i will restart check on uefi and come back to tell you if both OS running then | 14:44 |
| joesl | I have a share on my Samba network and one of the folder there's a folder where is rsynced but everytime after the sync I need to do "chmod -R 775 /media/backup/folder" in order to open it over Samba. What am I missing? | 14:44 |
| zefuros | but as i read both windows and linux must be installed in one more | 14:44 |
| zefuros | mode* | 14:44 |
| jpds | friend: That's against the YouTube T&C, so not supported here. | 14:44 |
| nexus` | atm UEFI is just a hassle for linux zefuros | 14:45 |
| Ohmage | it is but at the same time the only way to learn the wrongs of it is to try :P | 14:45 |
| * Ohmage is discovering all this the hard way | 14:45 | |
| nexus` | joesl: try chown? | 14:45 |
| zefuros | ok i will reboot check and come back to tell you the results please wait for me | 14:45 |
| cafecat | hi all, anyone using the yubiserver on ubuntu? What is the most recent version number? I have some newbie questions about getting started with it... | 14:45 |
| joesl | nexus`: ah, you mean I should chown 775? | 14:46 |
| zefuros | yeah i know i learned widows cmd and other stuff the "hard way" , so i suppose i will also do on linux | 14:46 |
| nexus` | something like sudo chown -R /media/* joesl:joesl | 14:46 |
| nexus` | i forget the exact syntax | 14:46 |
| nexus` | basically you want to make the permissions editable as your user | 14:46 |
| nexus` | changing ownership | 14:46 |
| nexus` | (chown) | 14:46 |

| Quest | escott ntfs | 14:48 |
| Ohmage | nexus, im currently just about to install ubuntu on a partition on my own UEFI system in the installer when i get to the partition selection im a little confused | 14:48 |
| Quest | escott ntfs. appologies for late reply | 14:48 |
| escott | Quest, you have to boot windows and run chkdsk there. | 14:48 |
| joesl | nexus`: sudo: unable to execute /bin/chown: Argument list too long | 14:48 |
| tury | there's a way to connect remotly x11vnc with multiple users? | 14:48 |
| nexus` | hold on | 14:48 |
| Quest | escott yes. windows says. it must be formated first | 14:49 |
| Ohmage | ok | 14:49 |
| escott | Quest, sounds like a windows problem, or that the damage is too severe for windows to even recognize the disk | 14:49 |
| nexus` | sudo chown -R joesl:joesl /media/* | 14:50 |
| wdp | tury, not sure if that helps you, but tightvnc has a -shared parameter. | 14:50 |
| === pinky is now known as brianchid | ||
| joesl | nexus`: well, new files will be comming in.. perhaps I'll just add it to after the init.d.. | 14:51 |
| tury | wdp, thanks , i try | 14:51 |
| joesl | so it does chown 775 automaticly after rsync | 14:51 |
| nexus` | i would think with the /media/* it would always allow access | 14:51 |
| zefuros | ohmage are you here? | 14:51 |
| Ohmage | yes | 14:51 |
| nexus` | im not sure why you are getting permission errors changing every time | 14:51 |
| nexus` | maybe theres an rsync option you can add? | 14:51 |
| Ohmage | what happened zefuros | 14:52 |
| nexus` | (im not to familiar with samba) | 14:52 |
| zefuros | i tried with efi mode enabled and i cant boot windows 8 | 14:52 |
| Ohmage | but you can boot ubuntu? | 14:52 |
| zefuros | yeah i can boot ubuntu normally | 14:52 |
| Ohmage | hmm | 14:52 |
| nexus` | mount your ssd zefuros | 14:52 |
| zefuros | wait i want to add up something | 14:53 |
| wdp | tury, does it do what you want? | 14:53 |
| zefuros | you said windows cant install in legacy mode , so my windows 8 are surely in efi mode right? | 14:53 |
| Ohmage | nexus cud i bend ur ear/eyes a minute? | 14:53 |
| nexus` | i think your GRUB might be confused as you have win8 on an SSD and ubuntu on a HDD | 14:53 |
| nexus` | yeah sure Ohmage | 14:54 |
| Ohmage | im not sure tbh as i have only just been introdused to uefi myself | 14:54 |
| nexus` | ditto. i just know its a problem | 14:54 |
| zefuros | so nexus i follow your steps now? | 14:54 |
| Ohmage | nexus: basically iv gotten to the partitioning part of ubuntu install from live disc, and iv got a partition i want to use | 14:54 |
| nexus` | i dont have any steps bud. i dont want to blindly give advice that could end up messing something up for you | 14:54 |
| Ohmage | but im very unfamiliar with how this bit works in this version | 14:55 |
| tury | wdp, i have a machine with 3 users and i want to access remotly from three different machines with x11vnc | 14:55 |
| zefuros | so no one here can help? | 14:55 |
| nexus` | my advice would be to wait until someone with more experience in this situation can help | 14:55 |
| nexus` | zefuros: someone will be able to | 14:55 |
| === Kitar|st_ is now known as Kitar|st | ||
| nexus` | what do you mean Ohmage | 14:55 |
| Ohmage | zefuros if you lurk a while and ask for help regarding uefi stuff every now and then someone will be around im sure | 14:55 |
| joesl | Could someone tell me why these commands doesn't run after eachother? rsync -pav backup-lokal@aff.se:/var/www/aff.se/application/orders/ /media/backup/orders/ && chmod -R 775 /media/backup/orders | 14:55 |
| === SnuS is now known as DanV | ||
| zefuros | you told me to mount my ssd you got some ideas for that? | 14:55 |
| nexus` | yeah read the mount manual | 14:56 |
| nexus` | !mount | 14:56 |
| ubottu | mount is used to attach devices to directories. See also https://help.ubuntu.com/community/Mount | 14:56 |
| wdp | joesl, is the rsync command failing? | 14:56 |
| nexus` | i dunno what your SSD is called | 14:56 |
| nibbler_ | joesl: because the first one does not exit with a true state. | 14:56 |
| nexus` | again this is just a guess | 14:56 |
| Ohmage | nexus: well iv got a 100gb partition i just formatted to ext4 with gparted for ubuntu. when i get to the partitioner on ubi installer if i just highlight that partition and set the bootloader install to the same partition will the rest automate for me from there | 14:57 |
| Ohmage | or do i have to manually split that partition up for the boot and other stuff | 14:57 |
| nexus` | oh unless you want to customize it will ask you if u want to go default | 14:57 |
| nexus` | it will it all by itself | 14:58 |
| GermainZ | Can the GPU drivers be the cause of me not being able to change my brightness? | 14:58 |
| zefuros | wait nexus if i mount my ssd on the boot directory that means that i can solve my problem? | 14:58 |
| Ohmage | ok another thing when i formatted that partition it was after installing fedora on it before hand which did it as an lvm volum i unflagged lvm when i repartitioned but it leaves me with a 1.7gb chunk of used after deleting the partition no matter what i do | 14:58 |
| nexus` | idk man. like i said im just guessing here. i would assume your BIOS boot order is CD>HDD | 14:59 |
| Ohmage | is that normal | 14:59 |
| GermainZ | I've tried version current-updates, but I suppose I can give the rest a try as well if it might be the problem. | 14:59 |
| zefuros | yeah but i left my cd drive empty , so the grub appeared and i booted ubuntu from there | 14:59 |
| nexus` | and ubuntu is on your HDD | 14:59 |
| nexus` | but windows is on your SSD | 15:00 |
| zefuros | yeah | 15:00 |
| zefuros | yeah | 15:00 |
| nexus` | no Ohmage | 15:00 |
| zefuros | but | 15:00 |
| FloodBot1 | zefuros: Please don't flood; use http://paste.ubuntu.com to paste; don't use Enter as punctuation. | 15:00 |
| nexus` | just install over it Ohmage | 15:00 |
| Ohmage | ok ill see what happens | 15:00 |
| Ohmage | thanks | 15:00 |
| nexus` | ubuntu should clean it up | 15:00 |
| nexus` | the installer, rather | 15:01 |
| zefuros | if i change the boot priority to my ssd>hdd then grub dont load | 15:01 |
| nexus` | so you've tried that? | 15:01 |
| GermainZ | zefuros, you can try EasyBCD for Windows to add an entry to grub | 15:01 |
| radiochatr | hi | 15:01 |
| zefuros | i got a hint might help, before installing ubuntu (when i just had windows 8) my drive priority was ssd>hdd | 15:01 |
| radiochatr | I have a question about Kerberos 5 | 15:02 |
| GermainZ | You should then be able to select Windows or Grub to load. | 15:02 |
| radiochatr | one thing I need to solve is how to map the local username to the username registered on the Kerberos server | 15:02 |
| zefuros | after installing ubuntu and run into this problem i installed grub using a live cd and now i can only load grub if my priority is hdd>sdd | 15:02 |
| tieinv | update grub | 15:02 |
| radiochatr | what is the correct syntax for using auth_to_local_names ? | 15:03 |
| Quest | escott it shows partitions but with size 0. linux shows partitions with actual size as they were but with no data either | 15:03 |
| zefuros | germainz i cant boot my windows OS | 15:03 |
| GermainZ | Oh, didn't know that. | 15:03 |
| radiochatr | in /etc/krb5.conf ? | 15:03 |
| Ohmage | nexus: the ubuntu installer first told me the partition didnt have a root path so i gave it a mount of / but it seems i have to configure my own partitions completely in this which im not so sure of.. | 15:04 |
| dcope | Anyone running Ubuntu on a Sony Vaio S 13P? | 15:04 |
| zefuros | when i try to boot windows 8 from grub it restarts and i think thats due the priority change from ssd>hdd to hdd>sssd | 15:04 |
| Quest | escott what time is expected to recover a 200gb partitons/ | 15:04 |
| zefuros | but having ssd>hdd i cant have grub running | 15:04 |
| Ohmage | nexus: as in after the mount point being / on the whole partition it then said i havenot assigned swap space which in other installs has all been done automagically for me | 15:05 |
| zefuros | nexus can you help me on that? | 15:05 |
| zefuros | nexus? | 15:05 |
| Quest | second problem with some other computer: where are the partition info like its size, type, and others are stored? | 15:05 |

| STMelon | YAY, malfunctioning bots | 15:23 |
| Ohmage | okay and best put at the begginning or end of the partition as im given the choice | 15:23 |
| yeehaw | Ohmage: And you can just leave the windows partition alone and the grub bootloader will be able to boot windows for you | 15:23 |
| Ohmage | ?? | 15:24 |
| jhutchins_wk | Ohmage: I haven't run the installer in a while, but I believe that what you're looking for requires manual partitioning, because it requires knowledge of what _you_ want to do with the existing data. | 15:24 |
| yeehaw | Ohmage: I would put / at the beginning and after that swap | 15:24 |
| yeehaw | So at the beginning | 15:24 |

| Quest | when to use a deep scan for data recovery? | 15:24 |
| Ohmage | jhutchins_wk: right now im experimenting with linux as the system is a new preinstalled uefi win8 laptop | 15:25 |
| Ohmage | so yes im going to leave a large chunk of it untouched | 15:25 |
| zefuros | yeehaw: i have a desktop i installed windows 8 on my ssd drive and then installed ubuntu on hdd drive with priority ssd>hdd, after that i got an error message no such device and i noticed it is the grub so i changed the priority to hdd>sdd and i can load grub and boot ubuntu but i cant boot my windows 8 it restarts my system on the logo screen | 15:26 |
| jhutchins_wk | Ohmage: You're in somewhat unknown teritory with w8. It's not a UEFI system is it? | 15:26 |
| Ohmage | then at some stage im going to make a back up of the win8 pc partition on an external terrabyte drive and maybe just do a fresh install, only its a gaming laptop with an nvidia dedicated 1gb graphics card so to completely remove windows seems like a little bit of a waste as much as i hate it | 15:27 |
| Ohmage | indeed it is | 15:27 |
| jhutchins_wk | Ohmage: Do the backup first before you start partitioning the drive. | 15:27 |
| yeehaw | zefuros: What happens if you boot into ubuntu and run grub-update ? | 15:27 |
| Ohmage | fedora installed really smoothly tbh and did an auto partition of the partition i made for linux | 15:28 |

| yeehaw | Ohmage: If you don't have any important data you could just download a windows 8 iso and install from that | 15:32 |
| Ohmage | can i do that legally | 15:32 |
| zefuros | yeehaw: i dont think its the same. When i sudo update-grub it find my windows 8 loader on sda1 | 15:32 |

| yeehaw | Ohmage: You can unlock it with the license key? | 15:43 |

| Kane274 | bekks: Thanks for your info :) | 16:25 |
| bekks | DocProc: All it can get - thats what RAM is for. | 16:26 |
| ikonia | DocProc: depends on many things, plus linux uses ram for cache too | 16:26 |

| Janeth | hi! I'm trying to reinstall ubuntu but, after the installation (conserving /home and other OS partitions) grub can't load ("error: file nor found / entering rescue mode... / grub rescue"). I try entering again the live USB in order to install boot manager and reinstall grub, but it won't enter the live USB any more (it stays in the "ACER" very first screen). Don't know what to do, someone can rescue me? | 16:30 |
| jhutchins_wk | !fixgrub | 16:31 |
| ubottu | GRUB2 is the default Ubuntu boot manager since 9.10 (Karmic). Lost GRUB after installing Windows? See https://help.ubuntu.com/community/RestoreGrub - For more information and troubleshooting for GRUB2 please refer to https://help.ubuntu.com/community/Grub2 - See !grub1 for releases before Karmic (9.10) | 16:31 |

| krazyx | Hey, I'm trying to setup my ubuntu server to run as static IP, I did all the correct settings and it was working for like 10 seconds(the internet that is) then it just stopped and can't ping anything via the server but I can ping lan | 16:32 |
| Janeth | jhutchins_wk, but it's very strange, it was not after installing windows but ubuntu itself... | 16:32 |
| jhutchins_wk | Janeth: grub probably has the wrong disk set for /boot or root. Disc ID's can change after installation. Use a UUID to avoid that problem. | 16:32 |
| yeehaw | krazyx: Please post the contents of /etc/resolv.conf and /etc/network/interfaces to paste.ubuntu.com | 16:32 |
| rexwin_ | howto login as root in ubuntu | 16:33 |
| jhutchins_wk | !root | 16:33 |
| ubottu | Do not try to guess the root password, that is impossible. Instead, realise the truth... there is no root password. Then you will see that it is 'sudo' that grants you access and not the root password. Look at https://help.ubuntu.com/community/RootSudo | 16:33 |

| rexwin_ | !wfm | 16:34 |
| ubottu | 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/ | 16:34 |

| perlhelp | tgm4883: Are you a moderator? | 16:35 |
| tgm4883 | perlhelp, no | 16:35 |
| perlhelp | Do you know one? | 16:35 |
| tonsofpcs | jhutchins_wk and zykotick9, via ubottu: that's bull. Just because you shouldn't in general doesn't mean there's specific use cases where it makes sense. | 16:35 |
| tgm4883 | yes | 16:35 |
| xangua | perlhelp: if you don't have an ubuntu support issue you can just keep quiet :) | 16:35 |
| yeehaw | krazyx: That looks good, can you ping 8.8.8.8 ? | 16:35 |
| zykotick9 | tonsofpcs: actually, you're wrong. if you use ubuntu, you should learn to use it as designed... | 16:36 |
| perlhelp | I was banned from the perlroom yesterdy. I want to know when the ban ends. | 16:36 |
| tgm4883 | perlhelp, is there an issue in another Ubuntu channel that needs a moderators attention? | 16:36 |
| Janeth | tad-pole: i entered bios before and I have USB HDD, USB FDD and USB CDROM right before my internal hard drive. But (and I have the liveUSB in its port) it doesnt enter, I can't pass from the ACER screen. I've noticed this before, a live USB is only recognized the very first time, later on, it won't load any more | 16:36 |
| krazyx | 100% packet loss on 8.8.8.8 | 16:36 |
| tgm4883 | perlhelp, ah, you want #ubuntu-mods | 16:36 |
| tgm4883 | perlhelp, I think that is the channel anyway | 16:36 |
| zykotick9 | perlhelp: you might want to try #freenode, i doubt ubuntu-mods can help. | 16:36 |

| Lynxx | apt-get remove? | 16:42 |
| yeehaw | krazyx: Looks good, well then this a weird problem | 16:42 |
| krazyx | yeah i know :( | 16:42 |
| krazyx | even set the ip to dmz for the server and still nothing | 16:42 |
| OerHeks | Lynxx, ppa-purge i guess, but try to add those ppa's first, and see if it gives a installation-candidate | 16:42 |

| krazyx | yup | 16:42 |
| krazyx | several times lol | 16:43 |

| krazyx | it was working fine on dhcp | 16:43 |
| yeehaw | krazyx: Is it wireless? | 16:43 |
| krazyx | no | 16:43 |
| OerHeks | Lynxx, sure, if you add it and try " sudo apt-get install kubuntu-default-settings-trinity kubuntu-desktop-trinity " it will install or an error will pop up | 16:43 |
| krazyx | there's a wireless adapter but it's connected via lan | 16:43 |
| tgm4883 | krazyx, so doing a 'sudo /etc/init.d/networking restart' and seeing if the internet worked for 10 seconds afterward would be easy to do? | 16:44 |
| yeehaw | krazyx: What happens if you disable the wireless adapter? | 16:44 |
| krazyx | i dont think it's enabled i tried that ifdown thing and didnt show anything for the adapter | 16:44 |
| krazyx | and I already tried the restart command but did it again and still nada | 16:45 |
| yeehaw | krazyx: Is the ip you are giving to the server in the accepted range? | 16:45 |

| yeehaw | mjuszczak: Are you sure you are not using Windows Firefox? | 16:47 |
| mjuszczak | yeehaw: positive | 16:47 |
| jhutchins_wk | mjuszczak: You can select the default fonts for various styles in firefox. | 16:47 |
| mjuszczak | but if I try to apt-get purge ttf-mscorefonts-installer, it says it's going to remove wine | 16:48 |

| yeehaw | rickard: You are already in the ubuntu channel :-) | 16:48 |
| jhutchins_wk | rickard: There are some ways to do that with some programs, but it is usually better to seek out a native linux solution to what you're trying to do. | 16:48 |
| rickard | i alredy tried that onte it gives me an error | 16:48 |
| zykotick9 | jhutchins_wk: +1 | 16:48 |
| yeehaw | rickard: Which error? | 16:48 |
| rickard | one sec | 16:49 |
| electron_ | has anybody used gnome3 on ubuntu 12.04 ? | 16:49 |
| mjuszczak | jhutchins_wk: okay. So there's no way to tell firefox to just ignore what ttf-mscorefonts-installer did? | 16:49 |
| xangua | electron_: ubuntu 12.04 comes with gnome3.4 | 16:49 |
| tgm4883 | electron_, you likely meant to ask about gnome-shell | 16:49 |
| electron_ | xabgua: i installed the gnome shell | 16:49 |
| squig | electron_, ifs thats on 12.04 by default I have and im using it now, though im in failsafe | 16:50 |
| jhutchins_wk | mjuszczak: Firefox is selecting the MS fonts first because it's designed to run on MS systems. You have to tell it to choose different fonts. | 16:50 |
| electron_ | yes i meant the gnome shell | 16:50 |
| squig | electron_, I ran away screaming | 16:50 |
| electron_ | but im not getting all the features of the gnome shell | 16:50 |
| krazyx | ok, this is weird I put it back to DHCP and it reset the ip to 192.168.1.5 and now it's not working either | 16:50 |
| rickard | something like "this error can occur becouse another nessesary file is missing" | 16:50 |
| krazyx | I also tried to do host google.com and it came up with google.com has address 74.125.228.99 so it is able to resolve | 16:51 |
| yeehaw | krazyx: Even with dhcp? Did you disable dmz and all the other things in the router? | 16:51 |
| jhutchins_wk | rickard: Which happened when you did what? | 16:51 |
| tgm4883 | krazyx, what was the ip address you had statically assigned? | 16:51 |
| krazyx | yee: it went to another ip so yeah the dmz aint working for it now | 16:51 |
| jhutchins_wk | rickard: If you'll tell us what you're really trying to do, we might be able to help you do it without windows. | 16:51 |
| krazyx | 192.168.1.50 was the one it was assigned for, now it's at 192.168.1.5 for dhcp | 16:51 |
| electron_ | squig, does the message tray work for you in gnome-sheell? | 16:51 |
| mjuszczak | jhutchins_wk: hmmm, okay. So maybe I should uninstall ttf-mscorefonts-installer, see what fonts firefox is choosing, write them down, reinstall, then go back in and select? | 16:52 |
| tgm4883 | krazyx, are you able to 'ping 192.168.1.50' ? | 16:52 |

| rickard | first i go to the programcenter and search for wine | 16:52 |
| yeehaw | krazyx: Can you ping the google DNS server? | 16:52 |
| krazyx | negative on that yee | 16:52 |
| rickard | then i take the "config wine" name and try to install | 16:53 |
| jhutchins_wk | mjuszczak: That would be one approach. I think removing the installer might not remove the fonts that it installed though. | 16:53 |
| rickard | then the error occours | 16:53 |
| mjuszczak | the "purge" did it. But the settings in firefox still look the same. hrm | 16:54 |
| krazyx | I'm still able to ping 192.168.1.1 which is the router | 16:54 |
| yeehaw | krazyx: Do you have any other switches or routers between the gateway and your server? | 16:55 |
| rickard | does someone know a tutorial video or something that shows how to install wine correctrly? | 16:55 |

| krazyx | where are the logfiles located at? | 16:57 |

| Physicist | Guys, If I Install ubuntu with the windows installer, can I erase the windows later with no problem? | 17:02 |
| tad-pole | rickard: After apt-get -f do the apt-get update then apt-get install | 17:03 |
| xangua | Physicist: no | 17:03 |
| tgm4883 | Physicist, yes, I believe you can do it via 'add/remove programs' | 17:03 |
| IdleOne | Physicist: you mean using the Wubi installed? | 17:03 |
| tgm4883 | xangua, he's asking about wubi | 17:03 |
| tgm4883 | oh wait | 17:03 |
| xangua | tgm4883: can I erase the windows later with no problem? | 17:03 |
| tgm4883 | Physicist, xangua I misread the question :( | 17:04 |
| * tgm4883 hangs head in shame | 17:04 | |
| zykotick9 | tad-pole: you need "apt-get -f install" for it to do anything, other then give you the command summary ;) rickard | 17:04 |
| * tad-pole hangs head in shame as well. | 17:04 | |
| tad-pole | :P | 17:04 |
| Physicist | I want to install ubuntu and delete windows. My old windows do not boot with cd. Because that thw wubi. | 17:05 |
| mjuszczak | looks like there's no easy way to tell firefox to ignore those fonts. I guess I'll make my wine startup script apt-get install and then purge those fonts... kind of awkward :-/ | 17:05 |
| bekks | Physicist: Then you cant replace anything. Wubi requires a running Windows. | 17:05 |
| tgm4883 | Physicist, did you check the boot order in your bios? | 17:05 |
| tgm4883 | bekks, does it really? I thought it was just a file on the windows filesystem that you could boot to | 17:06 |
| Physicist | tgm4883, yes. I already configured BIOS but dont start. | 17:06 |
| bekks | tgm4883: It requires a full blown windows, along with a working windows bootloader. | 17:06 |
| rickard | is apt-get -f install a command or should it be more? becouse it gives me an error | 17:07 |
| tgm4883 | bekks, but surely not a running windows? otherwise what is the point over a VM? | 17:07 |
| Physicist | with gparted on ubuntu, Can I delete windows, without have to configure kernel? | 17:07 |
| bekks | tgm4883: Of course a running windows. | 17:07 |
| tgm4883 | rickard, please pastebin the error? | 17:07 |
| bekks | tgm4883: Windows handles all the filesystem access, device access, etc. | 17:07 |
| tad-pole | rickard: It has to be run as root so the whole command is "sudo apt-get -f install" | 17:08 |
| zykotick9 | tgm4883: i'd say a VM is actually a better option then wubi... personal opinion only. | 17:08 |
| tad-pole | sorry, Ive been up for a very long time. :/ | 17:08 |
| elisa87 | What should I do when receiving this in Ubuntu when "sudo gedit" fails ? | 17:08 |
| SonikkuAmerica2 | rickard: The -f switch is for fixing broken or unmet dependencies | 17:08 |

| elisa87 | What should I do when receiving this in Ubuntu when "sudo gedit" fails ? X11 initialization failed | 17:08 |
| zykotick9 | !gksudo | elisa87 | 17:08 |
| ubottu | elisa87: If you need to run graphical applications as root, use « gksudo », as it will set up the environment more appropriately. Never just use "sudo"! (See http://psychocats.net/ubuntu/graphicalsudo to know why) | 17:08 |
| Physicist | tgm4883, with gparted on ubuntu, Can I delete windows, without have to configure kernel? | 17:09 |
| SonikkuAmerica2 | (I do wonder why gksudo and not "gtksudo") | 17:09 |
| tgm4883 | zykotick9, bekks wikipedia seems to disagree on needing windows running when using linux via wubi | 17:09 |
| tad-pole | Physicist: Can you make a bootable USB? | 17:09 |

| rickard | oh http://paste.ubuntu.com/1636859/ | 17:11 |
| elisa87 | but I want to run the gedit for sure! How can I make it run? | 17:11 |
| bekks | tgm4883: The wikipedia article doesnt say that you dont need a windows. | 17:11 |
| khalid | test | 17:11 |
| tad-pole | rickard: It has to be run as root so the whole command is "sudo apt-get -f install" | 17:11 |
| tgm4883 | rickard, you need to use sudo | 17:11 |
| tonsofpcs | zykotick9: no, ubuntu is a tool. It doesn't dictate my needs. I dictate my needs. | 17:11 |
| elisa87 | zykotick9: why am I receiving No protocol specified ? | 17:11 |
| zykotick9 | elisa87: gedit requires a running GUI (which is xorg) | 17:11 |
| Gilbert32 | the computer starts booting, and sometimes hangs in terminal-like environment. sometimes nothing on the screen, sometimes stuff related to the network interface | 17:11 |
| tonsofpcs | Those who don't understand the user/tool relationship are clearly the latter. | 17:11 |

| elisa87 | zykotick9: how can I make it use Xorg>? | 17:11 |
| tgm4883 | bekks, it adds a entry to the windows bootloader to load linux. Which surely means that you don't need to be running windows when in the Linux install | 17:12 |
| zykotick9 | tonsofpcs: lol. incorrect, as ubuntu uses lots of non-free software - canonical is in control, not you. | 17:12 |
| Gilbert32 | and audio stuff | 17:12 |
| zykotick9 | elisa87: when you say "terminal" are you in a GUI enviornment (with mouse pointer, etc)? | 17:12 |
| Physicist | tad-pole, In the computer that I want install, do not exist this possibilite because is old! | 17:12 |
| bekks | tgm4883: Then please elaborate on how to get a working windows bootloader without a working windows? | 17:12 |
| Gilbert32 | no no | 17:12 |
| bekks | tgm4883: Errm, thats offtopic in here, I guess. | 17:13 |
| Gilbert32 | probably still kernel. alt shift f1 through f6 does nothing | 17:13 |
| tgm4883 | bekks, that isn't at all what I said, but to answer your questions, install Windows, then delete C:\Windows | 17:13 |
| rickard | now i dont thing i got errors http://paste.ubuntu.com/1636871/ | 17:13 |
| xangua | tgm4883: uninstall windows...and uninstall wubi/ubuntu in windows :) win | 17:14 |
| xangua | err...i mean fail | 17:14 |
| Physicist | dr_willis? | 17:14 |
| tgm4883 | bekks, you need a working windows install to install ubuntu via wubi. What you said made it sound like you need a running (running != working) windows | 17:14 |
| rickard | how should i now install wine correctly step by step? any vids of tutorials? | 17:14 |
| elisa87 | zykotick9: yes I have mouse pointer | 17:14 |
| tad-pole | rickard: Please try "sudo apt-get install wine" and pastebin the whole thing like you just did with the last one. | 17:15 |
| rickard | ok | 17:15 |
| Gilbert32 | oh forgot to mention that i can't type anything (i Can but it does nothing) | 17:15 |
| tgm4883 | xangua, Ubuntu wubi shouldn't be installed in C:\Windows, it should be in 'C:\Program Files'. That would be a serious fail | 17:15 |

| rickard | http://paste.ubuntu.com/1636885/ | 17:16 |
| tgm4883 | tad-pole, that isn't what I was saying at all | 17:16 |
| Mercutio150 | is there is tablet, or windows 8 channel? | 17:16 |
| tgm4883 | hmm | 17:17 |
| Physicist | tad-pole, thank you. | 17:17 |
| bean_ | !alis | Mercutio150 | 17:17 |
| ubottu | Mercutio150: alis is a services bot that can help you find channels. Read "/msg alis help list" for help and ask any questions about it in #freenode. Example usage: /msg alis list #ubuntu* or /msg alis list *http* | 17:17 |
| tgm4883 | tad-pole, rickard ok, I'm going to go with the apt-get update then apt-get upgrade now, probably pastebin the last commands output | 17:17 |
| Mercutio150 | !alis | 17:17 |
| bean_ | Mercutio150: read the mssage. | 17:18 |
| tad-pole | rickard: That means he wants you to: "sudo apt-get update" then "sudo apt-get upgrade" and pastebin results | 17:18 |
| Mercutio150 | I did but that doesn't really help me trying to sort through 12099 channels | 17:18 |
| * tad-pole raises a questioning eyebrow at tgm :) | 17:18 | |
| Physicist | tad-pole, so I cannot! | 17:18 |
| bean_ | Mercutio150: you use alis to search. Like it says. | 17:18 |
| * tad-pole nods at physicist so they say | 17:18 | |
| Physicist | And now? | 17:18 |
| rickard | this time i did uderstand that but thanks anyway =D | 17:19 |
| tgm4883 | tad-pole, pm? | 17:19 |
| Mercutio150 | Did yall read my initial question? | 17:19 |
| tad-pole | Of course. | 17:19 |
| === dirtypillows is now known as ShameSpiral | ||
| zykotick9 | tad-pole: i'd say, using "apt-get dist-upgrade" makes more sense then "apt-get upgrade" most of the time (same behaviour as the GUI update thing) | 17:19 |
| bean_ | Mercutio150: Yep, something about using your tablet at a 2nd monitor | 17:19 |
| tgm4883 | zykotick9, that isn't a good thing to just tell new users | 17:19 |
| zykotick9 | tgm4883: actually it is | 17:20 |
| Mercutio150 | yes for the touch capabilites, but so far no channels seem to address anything like that | 17:20 |
| tgm4883 | zykotick9, not when it removes gnome | 17:20 |
| zykotick9 | tgm4883: why would it remove gnome? unless you're mixing repos or other non-sense. | 17:20 |
| rickard | this was alot! http://paste.ubuntu.com/1636903/ | 17:20 |
| jil | hello | 17:20 |
| tonsofpcs | zykotick9: I believe sabdfl will tell you that the point of the open source movement is so that tools are not locked into a single use case by a company trying to exert control and that users should be free to use the tools as they see fit and that we should not be a barrier to knowledge to them. I suppose I could be wrong, but I think he'll read that party line all day long. | 17:20 |
| bean_ | Mercutio150: it looks as though your only option on ubuntu is VNC | 17:20 |
| SonikkuAmerica | bean_, Mercutio150: Impossible. What happened to OpenSSH? | 17:21 |
| Mercutio150 | I find it difficult to belive it is impossible | 17:21 |
| Gilbert32 | Mercutio150: I read something about similar thing at xda-developers | 17:21 |
| tgm4883 | rickard, just use 'apt-get upgrade' not apt-get upgrade now | 17:22 |
| zykotick9 | tonsofpcs: perhaps having a dictator at all, is the wrong approach to freedom :p </OT> best of luck man. | 17:22 |
| Mercutio150 | Thanks gilbert | 17:22 |
| tgm4883 | zykotick9, some other non-sense like version mismatches and such that you wouldn't do without knowing what you are doing? | 17:22 |
| tad-pole | rickard: after that retry "sudo apt-get install wine" | 17:22 |
| Mercutio150 | I was thinking there surely must be an app that would pass through the I/O to the desktop | 17:22 |
| bean_ | Mercutio150: unlikely. | 17:22 |
| zykotick9 | tgm4883: you are aware that the GUI updater uses dist-upgrade right? | 17:23 |
| === mb is now known as Guest68247 | ||
| Mercutio150 | Not trying to start shit here, but are yall always so defeatist? | 17:23 |
| tgm4883 | zykotick9, I have a hard time believing the GUI updating is running command line in the background and not interfacing with apt directly | 17:23 |
| tgm4883 | Mercutio150, defeatist? | 17:23 |
| bean_ | Mercutio150: Just realistic is all. | 17:23 |
| SonikkuAmerica | zykotick9: In what context? I thought update-manager was its own process, not a subroutine caller | 17:23 |
| zykotick9 | tgm4883: right - but it updates everything. | 17:23 |
| tad-pole | rickard: Any luck? | 17:24 |
| tgm4883 | zykotick9, it also warns you of partial updates | 17:24 |
| SonikkuAmerica | !language | 17:24 |
| ubottu | Please watch your language and topic to help keep this channel family-friendly, polite, and professional. | 17:24 |

| Mercutio150 | Yes, I don't know how to do it now, but I promise you this, I find the way | 17:24 |
| zykotick9 | SonikkuAmerica: i'm sure it does, i should have said, the GUI uses the equivalent of dist-upgrade | 17:24 |
| Mercutio150 | I'm not going to give up on it just because it 'might' not be possible | 17:24 |
| tgm4883 | Mercutio150, what if there is no way? | 17:24 |
| Gilbert32 | Mercutio150: here. http://www.xda-developers.com/android/android-gains-x11-support/ | 17:24 |

| xangua | rickard: did you add a third party repository¿ | 17:27 |
| zykotick9 | tgm4883: fyi, using upgrade will NOT upgrade things like the kernel, so using it exclusively WILL probably break the system... | 17:27 |
| Mercutio150 | and proves my idea, if they can do that with X.org it can be done for the windows environment | 17:27 |
| Gilbert32 | nah | 17:27 |
| tad-pole | Mercutio150: http://forum.tabletpcreview.com/hardware/14016-using-tablet-pc-input-device-desktop.html | 17:27 |
| SonikkuAmerica | Well, there is KDE for Windows... | 17:27 |

| Mercutio150 | Surely there is a way to run the tablet purely as hardware for the desktop | 17:28 |
| tgm4883 | zykotick9, actually no, it will not break his system. The only difference between upgrade and dist-upgrade, is that dist-upgrade is allowed to install/remove new packages in order to upgrade the system. Using only upgrade will never, ever break the system. | 17:28 |
| zykotick9 | tgm4883: good luck with that assumption... | 17:28 |
| tgm4883 | zykotick9, please explain to me a scenario where using only 'upgrade' will break the system | 17:29 |
| Mercutio150 | hmm maybe I should take all this and try a new app that will allow you to plug in your tablet like a monitor | 17:29 |
| Gilbert32 | what's the problem? | 17:29 |
| Mercutio150 | Thanks for all your help guys! | 17:29 |

| bekks | !java | Enactor | 17:39 |
| ubottu | Enactor: To just use java you need a "Java Runtime Environment" (JRE) and/or a browser plugin. If that is not sufficient you will need a "Java Development Kit" (JDK) aka "Software Development Kit" (SDK). Please see https://help.ubuntu.com/community/Java about how to install one of three current implementations. | 17:39 |

| LoneTrooper | it is | 18:57 |
| tgm4883 | wNz, yes there is | 18:57 |

| wNz | devslash: couldn't you encrypt a specific partition? it only does whole disks? | 18:58 |
| Dr_proX | Oi | 18:58 |
| tgm4883 | devslash, so when you did the custom partitioning in the installer, did you make a root partition? | 18:58 |
| LoneTrooper | if u choose that u will have to enter password during a boot of the os | 18:58 |
| devslash | Tgm i did it in terminal because the installer doesnt support lvm | 18:59 |
| LoneTrooper | and the 2 password for your login | 18:59 |

| yeehaw | bekks: But if you have an empty volume group with only one physical volume in it, it is still a partition, only with the lvm 'filesystem', so you could still format it and do something else. That's what I meant, sorry if that was unclear | 19:12 |
| yeehaw | bekks: In a way you are then formatting the volume group | 19:13 |
| bekks | yeehaw: No. In no way you ever format a volume group. | 19:13 |
| bekks | yeehaw: A volume group is a meta-construct which actually only exists by defining a bunch of metadata on a physical volume. | 19:14 |
| wNz | yeah, you could format the pv or the lv, but not hte vg | 19:15 |
| wNz | the vg is just a group pvs | 19:15 |
| wNz | group of | 19:15 |
| yeehaw | bekks: But that data is contained on the physical volume itself, so when you format it you also format the vg. But I guess that's indeed the wrong way too look at it, because you would also be formatting a movie if its on a physical volume you're formatting. | 19:17 |

| bekks | LoneTrooper: Closed source software is often even more buggy, and often even slower than open source drivers. Please dont generalize your personal problems witha specific driver to apply for every FOSS/closed source project. :) | 19:38 |
| LoneTrooper | not that i try to blame someone work omg | 19:39 |
| bekks | LoneTrooper: And your error just looks like you did something wrong when installing the driver. | 19:39 |
| LoneTrooper | by default open source driver is selected | 19:39 |
| LoneTrooper | how this can be messed up | 19:39 |
| bekks | LoneTrooper: By using a driver that doesnt support your hardware, e.g. | 19:40 |
| LoneTrooper | well that can be true | 19:40 |

| MoPac | [Swap question]: Doing a new dual-boot 12.10 install with LUKS FDE. on SSD. Need hibernation. Considering swap file over partition to avoid repetitive password entry. Are there performance or other issues to worry about in using file rather than separate LUKS partition? | 19:42 |
| zykotick9 | MoPac: you'll need to research if hibernate can use a swap "file"... i'm not sure it can. | 19:44 |
| MoPac | zykotick9: http://ubuntuforums.org/showthread.php?t=1042946 indicates that it could | 19:44 |
| MoPac | But I'm wondering if it would be slower? | 19:44 |
| zykotick9 | MoPac: ok. glad you're aware then. | 19:44 |
| MoPac | Also, would using a swap partition wear out my SSD faster? | 19:44 |
| osmjames | Hi Im just trying to understand the organisation of linux/ubuntu. Interfaces and windows are drawn by Unity. Unity is a shell of GNOME. GNOME provides its own software development framework in which applications are built.. So what happens when I open an application built with KDE? | 19:46 |
| MoPac | There were some suggestions that writing to a partition rather than a file involved less kernel or filesystem overhead and so might be faster. If it's all the same, I prefer a file so I don't have to enter two partition passwords on every boot | 19:46 |
| belgianguy | I've recently become aware that my display manager poops itself when I close my laptop lid, is there anything I can do about that? | 19:46 |

| rasha666 | tad-pole, how many web sites can i set up on one server. i dont have much of a background in servers :) | 20:36 |
| tad-pole | rasha666 Depends on what your doing and what your hardware is, Google it with your specifications. | 20:37 |
| Pici | buntubob: something like this should just replace the last character of a file to 'r': Use -n to test before you actually do it: rename 's/.$/r/' files* | 20:37 |
| fully_human | charlton: There are a few ways this can happen. Firstly, open a terminal and type "ccsm" That's the Compiz control center. Scroll down and you should see "Unity Plugin" Enable this. | 20:37 |
| rasha666 | tad-pole, tnx for guidenes :) | 20:37 |

| bekks | arvendu: Which Windows? | 20:39 |
| arvendu | 7 | 20:39 |
| bekks | arvendu: You have to create a USB installation medium for doing it. | 20:39 |
| charlton | fully_human, Should I try that anyway? I think it's the driver, it was working before... (albeit crashing the GPU every once in a while) | 20:40 |
| buntubob | It didn't work? Typo? | 20:40 |
| fully_human | charlton: yes, try the Unity plugin. | 20:40 |
| charlton | fully_human, it's enabled | 20:40 |
| arvendu | i did that using unetbootin but when i boot using usb it is just showing unetbootin and timer only counting 0 - 10 nothing else | 20:40 |
| bekks | arvendu: You cannot use unetbootin for doing it. | 20:41 |

| zykotick9 | guenhael: jockey is the additional hardware thing. try "jockey<TAB>" in a terminal | 20:50 |
| fully_human | charlton: Ah, I see. I'm not sure...I'll look into it. | 20:51 |
| guenhael | I really don't understand sorry | 20:51 |

| fully_human | charlton: Well, there are several options to jockey-text. If you do "jockey-text --help" there are several options for listing, etc. | 20:53 |

| histo | katy_: you should be able to press enter to boot. | 22:29 |
| katy_ | histo, i think its f10 on mac | 22:29 |
| histo | katy_: I'm confused now are you editing the /etc/default/grub file or are you editing the kernel line at the grub menu? | 22:30 |
| zefuros | histo: searching for solution they encouraged me to use the boot-repair , but running boot-repair it asks if sdb1 is removable and i press no and then it says gpt detected create a bios-boot partition | 22:30 |
| katy_ | histo,kernel line at the grub menu | 22:30 |
| histo | katy_: okay well try those two options and boot | 22:30 |
| katy_ | histo, just did it. and its booting to a alll purple screen. no ubuntu logo. no black screen | 22:31 |
| LoneTrooper | well in most cases installing 2 operating system on 1 partition will cause problems each os should be on separate partition | 22:31 |
| zefuros | histo: oh i think i understand now what it needs give me a minute | 22:31 |
| histo | zefuros: What version of ubuntu were you trying to install? | 22:32 |
| histo | katy_: is it still at purple screen? | 22:32 |
| fowger | hello guys | 22:33 |
| katy_ | histo: still purple | 22:33 |
| histo | katy_: ctrl+alt+F1 to get to a tty | 22:33 |
| zefuros | histo: 12.04 | 22:33 |
| histo | zefuros: Sounds like you have a UEFI system and you need to probably use 12.10 64bit | 22:34 |
| histo | !efi | zefuros | 22:34 |
| katy_ | histo: im pretty sure its fn+alt/ption+command+f1 on mac and it didnt work. still purple screen. | 22:34 |
| histo | !uefi | zefuros | 22:34 |
| ubottu | zefuros: UEFI is a specification that defines a software interface between an operating system and platform firmware, it is meant as a replacement for the BIOS. For information on how to set up and install Ubuntu and its derivatives on UEFI machines please read https://help.ubuntu.com/community/UEFI | 22:34 |
| histo | katy_: does a mac have a cntrl key? | 22:35 |
| h00k | .11 | 22:35 |
| fowger | no | 22:35 |
| katy_ | histo: yes it does. i tried ctrl+alt+f1 too it didnt work | 22:36 |
| histo | katy_: Okay this is really bizaare I have no idea why installing nvidia drivers would mess with your backlight but that's what sounds like is happening to me. The nvidia module is loading and disabling the backlight somehow. But this is just a guess without actually seeing the hardware. | 22:36 |
| zefuros | histo: sorry for not mentioning i installed 12.04 64 bit | 22:36 |
| histo | zefuros: Yeah did you check out the information from ubottu | 22:36 |
| histo | katy_: I would sudo apt-get purge nvidia-current reboot and make sure X works. Then I would probably try udpated drivers from nvidia.com | 22:37 |
| katy_ | histo: so do i need to change the module? | 22:37 |
| katy_ | histo: ok | 22:37 |
| histo | katy_: Start with removing nvidia-current and get back to a working display | 22:37 |
| katy_ | histo: FYi, i just booted with no change to the grub menu. and it is still just a purple screen. no black screen any more.... anyway im gonna boot to recovery and try to purge nvidia from there. | 22:38 |
| histo | katy_: Well how did this change happen? Then. It was booting to a black screen no it's booting to a purple screen? | 22:39 |
| zefuros | histo: yeah and thanks to that i tried to instal ubuntu on efi mode and after that i got a desktop not able to boot anything | 22:39 |
| katy_ | histo: curious indeed. the only change we made to the system was this "apt-get install grub-pc" right? | 22:40 |
| histo | zefuros: That page advises you to use 12.10 yet you are using 12.04 | 22:40 |
| zefuros | histo: till i changed my hdd system to ahcp and it was able to load my usb | 22:40 |
| histo | katy_: right. | 22:40 |
| zefuros | histo: you all say me im in uefi mode how you know that? | 22:41 |
| katy_ | histo: ok well. im gonna purge nvidia now and ill tell you what happens | 22:41 |
| histo | katy_: I would still proceed remove nvidia-current see if you get X back if not... remove grub-pc see if it works itself out. | 22:41 |
| histo | katy_: then we can figure out which is the problem depending on what you remove | 22:41 |
| histo | zefuros: Are you not in uefi mode? | 22:41 |
| === LaserShark is now known as LaserShark|dead | ||
| zefuros | histo: how can i know that? | 22:42 |
| zefuros | histo: first of all make some things clear for me uefi is same with EFI? | 22:42 |
| katy_ | hirsto: i get this error "Unable to write to /va/cache/apt/" I know there is a command that will give me writing privelges, do you know it. i know it enloves '-o' :) | 22:43 |
| nearst | !nvidia | 22:44 |
| ubottu | For Ati/NVidia/Matrox video cards, see https://help.ubuntu.com/community/VideoDriverHowto | 22:44 |
| histo | zefuros: yes | 22:44 |
| katy | does anyone know the command that gives me writing priveleges when in recovery mode? | 22:44 |
| histo | katy: sudo | 22:45 |
| histo | katy: Oh why areyou in recovery mode now? | 22:45 |
| katy | histo yes. | 22:45 |
| zefuros | histo: and how can i know if i am in this mode? | 22:45 |
| katy | histo, i cant seem to ssh, so i just boot to recovery. | 22:45 |
| katy | histo: like i said above i know the command conatins '-o' if that helps at all | 22:46 |
| nearst | u cant ssh bcoz recovery mode not run into network mode. try sudo service network start and check your networking for ssh | 22:46 |
| zefuros | katy: i was told this command today while trying to edit 40_custom let me find it for you | 22:47 |
| histo | katy: mount -o rw,remount / | 22:47 |
| histo | zefuros: Is this a new system that came with windows 8? | 22:47 |
| katy | histo: thats it! purging now. | 22:48 |
| zefuros | histo: nope its a desktop i built and i installed windows 7 then updated to windows 8 and then installed ubuntu 12.10. But due driver issues i installed 12.04 but i accidentaly deleted the partition of previous ubuntu as result losing the grub and i used live cd to restore it , and now i cant boot windows 8 | 22:49 |
| histo | zefuros: So the menu entry for windows 8 needs to be added | 22:50 |
| histo | !grub2 | zefuros | 22:50 |
| ubottu | zefuros: GRUB2 is the default Ubuntu boot manager since 9.10 (Karmic). Lost GRUB after installing Windows? See https://help.ubuntu.com/community/RestoreGrub - For more information and troubleshooting for GRUB2 please refer to https://help.ubuntu.com/community/Grub2 - See !grub1 for releases before Karmic (9.10) | 22:50 |
| martinalex | zefuros: you did try a manual "update-grub"? | 22:50 |
| katy | hiisto: so it boots to grub. then the purple sscreen. then the purple screen turns black/purple pixelated. and it seems to be frozen there | 22:50 |
| histo | katy: okay purge grub-pc | 22:51 |
| histo | katy: What version of ubuntu is this btw? | 22:51 |
| zefuros | histo: grub has windows 8 entry but when i try to boot it restarts my system | 22:51 |
| histo | zefuros: I don't know at this time why that is. Perhaps someone else can chime in I don't use windows at all. | 22:52 |
| katy | histo: 12.1 | 22:52 |
| histo | katy: 64bit? | 22:52 |
| zefuros | martinalex: yes i tried used update-grub but the same i have the entry of windows 8 loader but if i boot it restarrts again | 22:52 |
| katy | yes | 22:52 |
| histo | katy: I have to go for a bit but try and purge grub-pc remember someone had you add that. Then see if you can boot again since we also removed the nvidia-current driver. | 22:52 |
| zefuros | martinalex: got any idea how i cant make my windows 8 loader boot again? | 22:53 |
| katy | histo: ok | 22:53 |
| katy | thx | 22:53 |
| martinalex | zefuros: not really, my solution always was to get a running linux instance to call update-grub... | 22:54 |
| ufsu | I used to add a program by the following commands mv /filename /etc/init.d/; chmod +x /etc/init.d/filename; update-rc.d filename defaults .... now I want to remove the program on the startup. I removed the directory on the /etc/init.d directory. how will fix update-rc.d file? | 22:55 |
| zefuros | martinalex: are you familiar with boot-repair? | 22:55 |
| martinalex | zefuros: no, sorry | 22:55 |
| LoneTrooper | can i give u universal tip for all of u? instead looking for solution or repairing operation system its faster to make fresh installation but make backup of all your files 1st | 22:55 |
| katy | histo: that didn't work. well i mean itunistalled grub so now its unbootable... | 22:55 |
| FLeiXiuS | Every time I remaster my disk with genisoimage I consistently get stopped at 'starting cups' | 22:56 |
| FLeiXiuS | every remake. | 22:56 |
| zefuros | lonetrooper: how can we make backups of windows 8 files when we dont have access to the OS? | 22:56 |
| LoneTrooper | oh its easy | 22:56 |
| LoneTrooper | look i told u | 22:56 |

| LoneTrooper | it contains mini windows xp | 22:57 |
| LoneTrooper | u can browse ntfs fat 32 partitions no problems | 22:57 |
| ctmjr | . | 22:57 |
| LoneTrooper | u can put it on usb stick and make it bootable too | 22:58 |
| OerHeks | hirens is illegal, please do not suggest or spread that please. | 22:58 |
| zefuros | lonetrooper: ok smart one . and how can i backup 350gb of work documents on total available space of 220gb? | 22:58 |
| LoneTrooper | well i wasnt expecting that data u to have | 22:58 |
| giiker | hello everyon | 22:59 |
| giiker | can't remote control box thoughr Vinagre or Remmina, any thoughts anyone | 22:59 |

| joshu | how can I check if I've got this patch on my ubuntu desktop install https://answers.launchpad.net/ubuntu/+source/gnome-nettool/+question/211095? | 22:59 |
| zefuros | lonetrooper: its obvious easier to me to backup my files and reinstall windows than trying to find solution 2 days now on a irc chat , but since i dont have the space i must fix my Operating System | 23:00 |
| LoneTrooper | and keep all of your files | 23:00 |
| LoneTrooper | yeh but theres other solution to get external usb hard drive but that costs | 23:00 |
| ufsu | how can I remove a program from the start up? | 23:01 |
| zefuros | lonetrooper: my windows 8 licence is update only that means i must always fresh install windows 7 and then update to 8 i dont have the right to fresh install windows 8, exept if windows 7 live disc can repair my windows 8 mbr | 23:01 |
| jrib | ufsu: what program? | 23:01 |
| zefuros | lonetrooper: i try to save my work documents and unfortunately i dont have money for solutions that costs elsewhere again i would stuck on a irc chat | 23:02 |
| LoneTrooper | oh so that complicates things | 23:02 |
| zefuros | lonetrooper: but you would help a lot answering this | 23:02 |
| ufsu | jrib: I added a program long before by "mv /filename /etc/init.d/; chmod +x /etc/init.d/filename; update-rc.d filename defaults" .. I removed the /etc/init.d/filename directory. what do I need to do with update-rc.d file? | 23:03 |
| zefuros | lonetrooper: i have the right like everyone to download a windows 8 iso file wich is 90 days trial will i be able to run repair with this? | 23:03 |
| LoneTrooper | about these dos utilities i told u i think that cd compilation have some programs to fix boot files im not sure | 23:03 |
| jrib | ufsu: update-rc.d filename remove | 23:04 |
| LoneTrooper | oh u right | 23:04 |
| ufsu | it was a program that I coded | 23:04 |
| ufsu | thank you jrib | 23:04 |
| LoneTrooper | microsoft shares windows operating system in trial versions | 23:04 |
| LoneTrooper | but i havent tryed it | 23:04 |
| zefuros | lonetrooper: i cannot risk to mess up my windows 8 disk so i cant advance to these options without ensurance | 23:04 |
| LoneTrooper | u can download iso burn it on dvd launch it and check it there will be option to do that | 23:05 |
| zefuros | lonetrooper: are you positive that this iso can repair my windows 8 bootloader? | 23:05 |
| LoneTrooper | if not abort instalation | 23:05 |
| LoneTrooper | u can check these 2 | 23:05 |
| zefuros | lonetrooper: already downloaded on the laptop on the other room , i think i will go and make a live usb | 23:05 |
| LoneTrooper | http://www.hirensbootcd.org/files/Hirens.BootCD.15.2.zip and www.ultimatebootcd.com/ | 23:05 |
| zefuros | lonetrooper: i will make the usb from the laptop using windows 7 usb download tool | 23:06 |
| LoneTrooper | are u using windows on that other laptop? | 23:06 |
| zefuros | lonetrooper: yeah windows xp | 23:06 |

| zefuros | histo: why? | 23:07 |
| histo | katy: k | 23:07 |
| LoneTrooper | ok | 23:07 |
| histo | zefuros: Windows 8 was working with ubuntu at one point in time right? | 23:08 |
| LoneTrooper | i tested instaling vista from usb and it works | 23:08 |
| zefuros | histo: yeah when i had ubuntu 12.10 | 23:08 |
| histo | zefuros: Okay and then what changed? | 23:08 |
| LoneTrooper | but i used somw windows software to do so | 23:08 |
| zefuros | histo: i had driver issues on 12.10 and went to 12.04 | 23:09 |
| zefuros | histo: but accidentaly deleted instead of formating the ubuntu partition | 23:09 |
| histo | zefuros: right and 12.04 doesn't do uefi very well. | 23:09 |
| histo | zefuros: accidentally deleted what? | 23:09 |
| zefuros | histo: the partition in wich ubuntu 12.10 was on | 23:10 |
| zefuros | histo: that caused me problems with grub but i fixed them with ubuntu 12.04 live usb abut from then on windows 8 couldnt boot | 23:11 |
| zefuros | histo: but you still didnt tell me how i can identify if i am in uefi mode | 23:11 |

| histo | zefuros: right but windows 8 is | 23:14 |
| ChapDaddy | it's because '/opt' needs root | 23:14 |
| zefuros | histo: is there a way to identify that? | 23:14 |
| histo | ChapDaddy: well you could use sudo to put files there, or change the group or owner of the htdocs directory. | 23:14 |
| OerHeks | ChapDaddy, use sudo to take rootpriv | 23:15 |
| nearst | use sudo | 23:15 |

| zykotick9 | x1_: it's /etc/hosts - notice the s at teh end. | 23:20 |

| zefuros | histo: hope so mate cause two days now falling to different people here i didnt make it work | 23:33 |
| zefuros | histo: how you know that? | 23:33 |
| histo | zefuros: not you | 23:34 |
| histo | katy: you have a switching video card | 23:34 |
| histo | zefuros: sorry for the confusion... | 23:34 |
| zefuros | histo: its ok mate | 23:34 |
| katy | histo: ok? | 23:34 |
| zefuros | histo: if this doesnt work do you recommend trying to repair windows loader with a windows 8 trial cd? | 23:35 |
| x1_ | zykotick9, can I delete the old one now | 23:37 |
| histo | zefuros: You can it will wipe out grub | 23:37 |
| zykotick9 | x1_: from hosts, yes. | 23:37 |
| histo | zefuros: but it will atleast get you back into windows in the time being | 23:37 |
| histo | zefuros: then you could try reinstalling grub2 to fix your menu entries | 23:37 |
| x1_ | zykotick9, thaks for the info | 23:37 |
| zefuros | histo: oh something else before i reboot , while installing ubuntu 12.10 shall i replace ubuntu 12.04 or format the partition? | 23:38 |
| histo | katy: I'm still searching for stuff. But basically from your lspci output you have an intel adapter and an nvidia card. Most laptops that have this switch between the intel and the nvidia to save power. | 23:38 |
| histo | zefuros: replacing it should format the partition. | 23:39 |
| histo | zefuros: just don't touch your windows partition | 23:39 |
| histo | zefuros: unless it wants to install grub to /dev/sda | 23:39 |

| _helios_ | wow I just installed Windows XP from inside of Ubuntu 12.10 in a Virtual Box wow that is just amazing lol | 23:40 |
| histo | katy: is this a macbook pro 8,2? | 23:40 |
| katy | histo: macbook pro 6,2 | 23:41 |
| histo | katy: sudo dmidecode -s system-product-name | 23:41 |
| kandinski | if anybody here is using supervisord with 12.04, I find it strange that it doesn't reread the configuration when given a 'service supervisor reload' command | 23:42 |
| kandinski | or even restart | 23:42 |
| katy | histo: MacBookPr6,2 | 23:43 |
| histo | katy: Have you seen this page? https://wiki.ubuntu.com/MactelSupportTeam/CommunityHelpPages | 23:43 |
| katy | histo: yeah i've seen that. | 23:44 |
| unheeding | _helios_: so XP is in a virtual box inside Ubuntu which is also in a virtual box? | 23:44 |
| histo | katy: or this https://help.ubuntu.com/community/MacBookPro | 23:44 |
| _helios_ | unheeding: no Ubuntu 12.10 is the main system with Xp inside the Virtual box | 23:44 |
| _helios_ | unheeding: I just need xp for Itunes and thats about it lol | 23:45 |
| compdoc | thats the best way to run windows | 23:45 |
| unheeding | can't you run it in Wine? | 23:45 |
| _helios_ | compdoc: agree'd | 23:45 |
| compdoc | other than bare hardware | 23:45 |
| r00st3r | Ubuntu 12.04 doesn't see my bluetooth receiver. Everything else is running fine. I am not dual booting. Alienware m11x r2. I have checked the forums and google. Any help? | 23:45 |
| _helios_ | unheeding: I could but I don't want the windows junk on my main drive | 23:45 |
| katy | histo: unfortunatly there isnt a specific. macbook pro 6,2 and 12.10. and i couldnt even get 12.04 to boot from a usb. | 23:45 |
| _helios_ | unheeding: so I run windows as a VM to keep it from contaminating linux. | 23:45 |
| histo | katy: https://help.ubuntu.com/community/MacBookPro6-2/Precise#Video | 23:45 |
| unheeding | _helios_: that's fair | 23:46 |
| histo | katy: Those instructions for getting the video to work may still work. | 23:46 |
| _helios_ | My next virtualbox mission would be to get a working version of mac osx | 23:46 |
| histo | katy: No one has made a wiki page for quantal | 23:46 |
| kostkon | r00st3r, does: hcitool dev output anything? | 23:46 |
| r00st3r | Nothing | 23:47 |
| r00st3r | kostkon, it is enabled in BIOS. I double checked | 23:47 |
| histo | _helios_: I dont' think that's possible or if it is its' against their tos | 23:48 |
| katy | histo: ok but once i install te nvidia driver it won't boot. so im gonna need to do those edits through ssh or recovery? | 23:48 |
| r00st3r | also lsusb grep | bluetooth does not output anything either | 23:48 |
| histo | _helios_: osx is only supposed to be run on "mac" hardware. | 23:48 |
| histo | katy: You could do them before you reboot | 23:48 |
| unheeding | i find virtual machines to be too slow. i installed haiku on one (and it's supposed to be blazingly fast and lightweight on bare metal) and it was so slow to be almost unusable | 23:48 |
| histo | unheeding: You're emulating a complete computer ofcourse it's going to be slower than bare metal | 23:49 |
| histo | unheeding: You'd have to do hardware virtualization to see near native speeds | 23:49 |
| katy | ok. | 23:49 |
| _helios_ | luckily my laptop supports virtual machines | 23:49 |
| zykotick9 | unheeding: for my interest, do you get anything from "cat /proc/cpuinfo | egrep '(vmx|svm)' "? | 23:49 |
| _helios_ | through the bios it supports them | 23:50 |
| boze | in ubuntu the backspace button doesn't work in browsers to go backwards? | 23:50 |
| unheeding | zykotick9: it matches svm and svm_lock on both cores | 23:50 |
| SonikkuAmerica | boze: Who even uses Backspace for that? | 23:50 |
| zykotick9 | unheeding: well your cpu support virtualization then... | 23:51 |
| jason_ | how do i find out my current version on ubuntu? | 23:51 |
| boze | SonikkuAmerica: how do you do it? | 23:51 |
| SonikkuAmerica | boze: Try Alt+Left and Alt+Right. | 23:51 |
| rypervenche | zykotick9: WHYYY? cat grepper! | 23:51 |
| AceFace1 | im running ubuntu 12.10 with latest nginx from the repository. public dns resolves wildcard *.example.org to my server but i only want nginx to respond to requests for a.example.org. For some weird reason it will serve on all hostnames. would anyone know why? | 23:51 |
| boze | thats way too many fingers :( | 23:51 |
| zykotick9 | jason_: "lsb_release -a" from a terminal is one method | 23:51 |
| unheeding | zykotick9: how do you use it properly? | 23:51 |
| _helios_ | jason_: you can goto top right and select About Ubuntu | 23:51 |
| _helios_ | jason_: I guess it's About this computer | 23:51 |
| histo | jason_: cat /etc/issue | 23:51 |
| jason_ | sorry i knew it would be a dumb question thanks helios | 23:52 |
| _helios_ | jason_: n/p | 23:52 |
| zykotick9 | rypervenche: can you egrep a /proc directly, i guess so... i'm bad ;) guilty of unnecessary use of cat. | 23:52 |
| histo | jason_: lsb-release -a | 23:52 |
| rypervenche | lsb_release -a | 23:52 |
| SonikkuAmerica | boze: I never said it was easy. | 23:52 |
| histo | zykotick9: I do it all the time to. | 23:52 |
| zykotick9 | unheeding: vbox has a setting somewhere, and kvm would work with your cpu | 23:53 |
