[02:25] i actually have it posted on my website if you wish to review it at anytime, just let me know. ill try to always idle here [02:25] cool thanks [02:26] i only post code btw, so no fear of execution of anything harmful. not aht linux would allow that anyways ^_^ [02:26] roger_: im assuming your new to ubuntu? [02:27] AcidRain2012: yeah i'm not to worried about ya guys.. i trust ya. besides the laptop i'm on is just an old crash box [02:28] hmmm.... im not sure how the new versions of ubuntu look. but i can speak from experience and my eliteness pimped out desktop, that ubuntu 10.10 is wicked [02:28] yeah new to ubuntu.. actually using xubuntu.. tried many different distro's and settled with xubuntu.. system is a bit slow [02:28] hmmm.... this game runs under wine on this laptop, but on another one with the same version of Kubuntu and wine, it has really glitchy graphics. Both are intel graphics as well. 12.10, wine 1.4.1... [02:28] yeah this laptop would literally crash when I opened the unity searchlight thing [02:29] ubuntu is definitely sweet looking though [02:29] one is a Lenovo T430s (working) the other is an X60 (not working) [02:30] phunyguy: different video cards i'm assuming? [02:30] yeah... the one that doesnt work is i945 [02:30] and the one that does? [02:30] VGA compatible controller: Intel Corporation 3rd Gen Core processor Graphics Controller (rev 09) [02:31] phunyguy: so they are using different video drivers as well? [02:31] yes [02:32] also one is 64 bit and the other is 32bit OS [02:33] 64 bit works [02:33] but the other one doesnt support 64 bit [02:33] I'm pretty new to linux.. but i'd be willing to bet the driver is where we could start experimenting. [02:33] roger_: use gnome2. period. u will love it [02:33] . [02:34] AcidRain2012: thanks I'll get that iso [02:34] humm.. when i run the ubuntu software updater the progress bar says loading software list.. forever. [02:35] I am betting it is driver as well. [02:35] like a half hour has gone by, and the progress bar is like.. at the same spot. [02:35] phunyguy: yeah.. so now all we need now is some help from someone here on how to switch that driver up [02:35] I have another workstation with i910 graphics which I think uses the same kernel module, and it did the same thing there [02:35] cuz I'm nub [02:35] No I am afraid there is no other option [02:36] a driver doesnt exist that would change anything [02:36] can anyone tell me how to install an hp printer. I am a newbie to ubuntu [02:37] at least I know it works on newer laptops, so my daughter has options, just unfotunately she won't be able to play on HER laptop. I will install on the wife's and clal it a day. [02:37] hmm, I've briefly read something about creating a driver while researching a past issue I had.. Anyone here have any experience with that? [02:37] roger_ I doubt it [02:37] phunyguy: hmm. well I'm sry I couldn't be more help.. still learning here [02:38] problems with hp printer install. any help here ? I am a linux newbie [02:38] we all are, I probably have a bit more experience but knew I was missing something obvious [02:38] thanks for trying though. (been on *ubuntu since 7.10) [02:38] phunyguy: right on.. have a good one [02:39] jake__: let me look it up real quick and see if I can find anything that can help us [02:39] thanks roger. i am only 3 days into ubuntu [02:40] jake__: what OS, and what printer? [02:40] OS ubuntu 12.10 hp deskjet 3050 [02:40] maybe a cups problem ? [02:40] roger_ thanks for helping. I have no clue about how to use this OS [02:41] jake__: did you install the linux drivers? [02:41] jake__: no problem man. what have you tried so far? [02:41] i used the terminal and installed hplip-3.12.11.run [02:41] it is wireless and usb both [02:43] jake__: ok did the installation process go ok? [02:43] roger_: I followed these directions http://hplipopensource.com/hplip-web/install/install/index.html [02:43] Hi! Anyone here know a good alternative to the windows application TweetDeck for Ubuntu? I havn't been able to find any. Thanks for reading this :) [02:44] i printed one page, but then tried to get it to use the wireless and that is when all my trouble started. I cant even get it to see the printer on usb connection now [02:45] jake__: (just a comment, don't take this too seriously) but you should NOT install things from outside of Ubuntu's repos! you now have files/programs installed that the system is totally unaware of... i'd consider your setup broken because of this [but that only my OPINION!] [02:45] ok.. on installation at the "device discovery" step did you choose the "wireless" option? [02:45] Schumi23: you could use the Tweetdeck web client [02:45] how do i search for a list of available packages? [02:46] savagecroc: use Ubuntu software center, or from terminal "apt-cache search foo" [02:46] zykotick9: why would you consider a system broken because the program doesnt reside on the official ubuntu repositories? [02:46] thankyou :) .. yeah ubuntu server.. so no UI [02:46] where can i learn about how the repos work? i only know windows lol [02:47] What files are loaded when I start a new terminal instance, besides .bashrc? [02:48] wiggmpk: whatever that .run installed, there is no clean way to remove it. or for apt to update/manage it... [02:48] jake__: keep it in channel please [02:48] 10-4 [02:48] zykotick9: they are just printer drivers.. and the installer itself should have a way to remove whatever it installs [02:48] what is a fairly standard C++ version + libraries, etc. package for Ubuntu [02:49] maybe just sudo apt-get install c++ [02:49] wiggmpk I was hoping for a client like Tweetdeck, but I guess the web client can work should nothing else exist. Thanks though! [02:49] A failed installation left something in one of those files that's breaking every time I open a terminal, but I don't know where it is. Definitely not bashrc [02:50] ForSpareParts: tried a different terminal, like xterm/urxvt? same issue there? [02:50] Schumi23: there are hotot and turpial [02:50] Schumi23: unfortunately Adobe AIR is no longer supported on Linux, so installing Tweetdeck natively isnt an option. You could install WINE and install the Windows version of Tweetdeck in WINE. But at least for a native solution you could use the web client. [02:51] zykotick9, Happens in xterm. [02:51] jake__: you might have a look @ ... https://help.ubuntu.com/community/Repositories [02:51] Schumi23: finding native gnu/linux replacements is a better long-term suggestion. [02:51] ForSpareParts: what happens exactly? [02:51] thanks Tex_Nick [02:52] k, thanks :) (So such as hotot or turpial?) [02:52] guys, i can't configure my hybrid apu/gpu [02:52] jake__: np hope it points you in a good direction ;-) [02:52] zykotick9, From a failed attempt to install python's virtualenvwrapper... http://pastebin.com/n3569eYx [02:52] Schumi23: hotot works as a standalon twitter client or as an addon in chromium, it supports columns, search, lists, etc. [02:53] thanks :) [02:53] ForSpareParts: sorry, i don't go to pastebin.com and i have no idea what virtualenvwrapper is so i'm probably no help anyways. you could check ~/.profile perhaps? [02:54] exit [02:54] zykotick9, Sorry. I sent it to paste.ubuntu, if you want to take a look... http://paste.ubuntu.com/1647633/ === Owner is now known as Guest20722 === LaserShark is now known as LaserShark|dead [02:55] ForSpareParts: check to see if "python-virtualenv" is installed on your system [02:56] wiggmpk, It's not. [02:56] wiggmpk, Ditto for the pip version. [02:56] ForSpareParts: sorry, i have no idea what that would mean OR why it's tied into your terminals. good luck. [02:56] ForSpareParts: sudo apt-get install python-virtualenv, then try again [02:57] getting a hangup on install alongside windows 7 at "activating service name='org.freedesktop.hostname1' .. any help on this? [02:59] wiggmpk, Doesn't help, unfortunately. [02:59] omg, this is just freaking me out... why can't i enable my gpu? [02:59] ForSpareParts: what are you trying to do exactly? [03:00] wiggmpk, Trying to get rid of all traces of virtualenv so that I can do a fresh installation from pip. [03:01] ForSpareParts: and how ar eyou trying to install pip? [03:02] wiggmpk, apt-get. Actually, I misspoke. I don't want to remove virtualenv, since I installed it with apt-get, but I do want to get rid of virtualenvwrapper. [03:03] wiggmpk, Hell, I'd be okay with getting rid of everything, including pip, and starting fresh -- I just want a nice, solid pip/venv setup. Whatever the best way is to do that, I'm down for it. [03:03] ForSpareParts: did you install virtualenvwrapper using something other the apt/USC? [03:03] ForSpareParts: so you typed what to install pip? [03:04] zykotick9, I installed it via pip, but that didn't take, so I got rid of it and tried via apt. [03:04] wiggmpk, sudo apt-get install python-virtualenv [03:04] (the pip package is a dependency) [03:04] ForSpareParts: so if you type "which pip" in terminal, what does it tell you? [03:04] wiggmpk, /usr/local/bin/pip [03:05] ForSpareParts: so try "sudo pip install --upgrade pip" and "sudo pip install --upgrade virtualenv" [03:05] wiggmpk, OK. [03:06] Alright, that seems to have worked. [03:07] ForSpareParts: any way to test it? [03:07] wiggmpk, Don't know of one off the top of my head. I'm trying to install the wrapper the same way, that should tell me something... [03:09] wiggmpk, IIRC, I think all the trouble started because I was trying to install stuff from pip without using sudo -- I figured that if I virtualenv installed, I should be able to start using pip by itself, since that's kinda the point [03:09] wiggmpk, But it might be I didn't have it set up all the way yet. [03:10] Is there anyway with SCP to make it respect the directory permission settings? [03:11] ForSpareParts: so all is good then? [03:13] shit === mojtaba is now known as Neda [03:14] Does anybody know how can I filter the result with up and down arrow keys in the terminal, by typing the first letters of the command?

[03:15] Dang [03:15] the gentoo boys strike again [03:16] Does anybody know how can I filter the result with up and down arrow keys in the terminal, by typing the first letters of the command? [03:17] Hi do know why I receive this error: Can't stat /usr/lib/nvidia-settings: No such file or directory ? [03:17] Does anybody know how can I filter the result with up and down arrow keys in the terminal, by typing the first letters of the command? [03:17] elisa87: I would say, its because nvidia-settings doesnt exist [03:17] when you scp a file what determines what file permissions it has? [03:17] elisa87: sudo apt-get install nvidia-settings [03:17] Does anybody know how can I filter the result with up and down arrow keys in the terminal, by typing the first letters of the command? [03:17] It was supposed to be created after installation I don't know why it has not been installed! [03:18] elisa87: how did you install your drivers? via jockey-gtk or using the nvidia package from nvidia? [03:19] I installed CUDA toolkits and thought this will be installed afterwards automatically [03:19] I am using what you said right now [03:19] elisa87: I said 2 different things.. so which one? jockey or nvidia proprietary drivers? [03:21] wiggmpk, So far as I can tell! I appreciate your help. [03:21] ForSpareParts: np mate [03:22] Neda : are you refering to autocompletion ? first few letters with the TAB key will list options ? [03:23] Do you know what I should do ? /usr/bin/ld: cannot find -lcuda [03:23] wiggmpk: that error is fixed now...thanks [03:24] hello everyone [03:24] Tex_Nick: there's actually a pageup/pagedown (usually) that cycles through old commands starting with what you've already typed. sorta a TAB with your history of commands [03:25] elisa87: np, i havent install anything cuda related before so I cant help ya on that one [03:27] zykotick9: ahhh yeah ... i use up & down arrow keys for that ... i thought Neda was looking for a filter type function [03:28] hello room [03:28] is there anyway to make default ACLs actually apply when uploading a file via scp. The only way i can get it to work is scp file server:/tmp then cp /tmp/filename /to/where/its/supposed/to/go rm /tmp/filename [03:28] Tex_Nick: unless you've modified it, it's actually quit different from regular up/down. you can type "ls " and it'll only cycle through things starting with "ls ". it very handy actually. [03:28] zykotick9: as in ls TAB key ... would list ls commands ? [03:34] zykotick9: okman i've never used that ... and it doesn't seem to work on this box ... don't think i've modified my key-bindings to prevent that ... i need to look into that ... thanks for the pointer ;-) [03:34] Tex_Nick: i don't think it's enabled by default, you might need to modify /etc/inputrc [03:35] I have a remote desktop question - anyone fluent? [03:35] Tex_Nick: history-search-backwards (and forwards) are the variables [03:37] I have Ubuntu 10.04 running on a gigabit LAN. I connect through "screen sharing" on my iMac OSX Mountain Lion and the connection is extremely sluggish. The cursor will track for about three seconds and then non responsive. I can still see remote activity but my interaction is void. [03:37] zykotick9: i'm on the phone right now ... bout 5 minutes will have a look ... thanks for the info ... will report back :-) === FreakingTea is now known as FreakingFiat [03:39] I never had this problem before. I recently rebuilt my LAMP server and since it has not been performing like the first install. [03:40] iFlip: What client are you using? [03:40] Mac built-in VNC protcol [03:40] iFlip: So you're using the iMac to VNC to your Ubuntu system? [03:41] correct [03:41] Hmm, I'm going the other way (Ubuntu 12.10 64-bit, Remmina) to OS X 10.8 and it is fast. [03:41] Are you using something like... encryption? Try disabling that. [03:42] On the client or server side [03:42] Server, of course [03:42] no encryption - i just checked that again to make sure [03:42] zykotick9: i'm trying to multitask with one hand ... sure that requires logout & logini ? [03:43] Hmm, I don't know [03:43] Tex_Nick: not sure? [03:44] I'm having problems playing audio over HDMI using a NVidia card under Ubuntu. My receiver seems to be searching for the HDMI audio signal, but then gives up and goes to analog. In Windows 7, the audio over HDMI works correctly. Any ideas? [03:45] My video card is a GeForce GTX 560 [03:46] dfrey: how does you sound settings look? [03:46] Like, under devices which is selected? [03:47] dfrey: audio cable ? [03:48] I just went through the exact same thing on another PC with an NVIDIA card, but I've promptly forgotten the whole thing... [03:48] dfrey: pulse is supposed to be diverting the audio but its not, (at least that's what I've been lead to belive), (that it's pulseaudio's job to do it). [03:49] RPG-Master: Was it someting to do with pulseaudio? === swappermall_ is now known as swappermall [03:52] zykotick9: i removed the comments from the two lines in /etc/inputrc ... had to logout & back in ... now as an example, if i ls and tab up it seems to go on forever listing all possible instances of ls ... including grep's and other stuff ... kinda cool ... lol ... i've gotta play with this ... thanks man for the tip ;-) [03:52] RPG-Master, usr13: It just started working. I have no idea why. I have tried a million different things already. Thanks I guess [03:53] Tex_Nick: glad to help [03:56] dfrey: remember, in order for HDMI digital audio to go across the cable the codec in the video would have to support HDMI playback === FreakingFiat is now known as WWWWWWWWWWWWWWWW [03:57] Hi, I've been having a lot of trouble getting ubuntu on a dvd === gshipley_ is now known as gshipley [03:58] abird: you mean the iso? or you can't get it to burn [04:00] I'm using a mac and disk utility- I downloaded the iso and when I try to open it I get "no mountable file systems" [04:00] zykotick9: that is listing previous instances of ls that i've used in the past ... i don't know how far back it goes, but some of the instances were a week or more ago ... i wonder what log file they are comming from ??? that is neat though ... it definately has functionallity !!! [04:01] abird: try deepburner available free and doesn't cost for the free version and doesn't load a bunch of junk on your mac [04:01] abird: i don't think we can help you with mac, but you need to burn the image onto the disc, you'll need to find some software that has that capability [04:01] Tex_Nick: i believe it's just your history file. ~/.bash_history [04:02] Tex_Nick: really good when you use a program with lots of switches that you can't remember ;) [04:02] alright, thanks for the suggestions === WWWWWWWWWWWWWWWW is now known as _--------------- [04:03] oh, deepburner isn't available on mac [04:05] zykotick9: ok man this wasn't even my question ... i was originally trying to answwer a question for Neda ... looks like i'm the one getting the education here ;-) lol [04:05] Tex_Nick: always good to learn-while-you-help ;) === _--------------- is now known as STF [04:06] I found this topic which I think is related: http://askubuntu.com/questions/153833/why-cant-i-mount-the-ubuntu-12-04-installer-isos-in-mac-os-x/153854#153854 [04:06] I have 12.10 installed on my HTPC box. I have a geforce 210 with hdmi out, but I'm not getting any audio over HDIm. Any ideas? [04:06] zykotick9: REALLY !!! thanks man ;-) [04:06] I installed the latest nvidia drivers, and all it did was make my screen slightly blurry [04:06] can't find a fix, though [04:07] abird: audio cable :) [04:07] bbiab [04:07] CIDR: you can go into your sound menu, and change your output device to digital HDMI [04:08] Yes [04:08] I have 2 HDMI's in there, and neither do anythign when I hit test sound [04:08] what do you mean, usr? [04:08] CIDR: oh. hrm. [04:08] abird: Sorry, that was for CIDR [04:08] no worries [04:09] CIDR: How did you install the new Video Driver? [04:10] CIDR: Did you just download from nvidia.com? [04:11] apt-get install nvidia-current-updates [04:11] CIDR: I suggest going to nvidia.com and download install the correct driver. [04:12] Ok... [04:12] CIDR: That'll more-than-likely fix it. [04:13] thanks for the suggestions, if I figure this out I'll come back on later [04:14] CIDR: think long and hard before using nvidia.com's driver... [04:14] how do you use enhanced zoom with dual monitors? === STF is now known as starmeleon [04:14] Could anyone assist me with Java 7 on Ubuntu? It's absolutely borked. :s === xubuntu is now known as Guest25149 [04:15] WXZ: that's a #compiz question, you might find help there [04:15] GeekSquid: good point, thank you [04:16] zykotick9: I just want hdmi audio/video to work... [04:16] CIDR: i know. but there are "implications" to using nvidia.com's driver, instead of the one in repo. [04:16] Like? === garryr is now known as change [04:16] I mean as of now using the one from the repo gets me no sound, so... [04:16] CIDR: every time there is a kernel update, your graphics are gonna break [04:17] Don't care [04:17] No need to update it [04:17] it's a HTPC box [04:17] once it works I don't want to touch it. [04:18] CIDR: You should probably at least do your other upgrades though. [04:19] !details | baggy [04:19] baggy: Please give us full details. For example: "I have a problem with ..., I'm running Ubuntu version .... When I try to do ..., I get the following output: ..., but I expected it to do ..." [04:19] Yeah, at this point none of that matters [04:19] anyone know why i dont have any sounds on my imac? [04:19] As I have no sound, and the graphics look like shite with the nvidia drivers and the repo drivers [04:20] CIDR: Why not just upgrade everything but the kernel though? It will matter when your network gets compromised through your HTPC box :P === starmeleon is now known as wml [04:21] there's no ports open to the htpc box [04:21] Hi, I am trying to triple boot on my macbook pro. With OS X, Win8 and Ubuntu. [04:21] really no worried abotu that at this point === wml is now known as FreakingTea [04:22] Now after that I installed Ubuntu, windows won't boot [04:22] CIDR: I know what you mean, but that won't be much comfort when it gets hit with a 0-day java exploit or the like because the packages weren't up to date with fixed ones. === FreakingTea is now known as notchuck [04:23] I'm no using java... it's going to play music and video via xbmc, nothing else === notchuck is now known as egalitarianusa [04:24] either way, it doesn't much matter if the thing won't play sound or dispaly video right... [04:24] hello [04:24] CIDR: Right, but that's not exactly my point, the exploint doesn't have to be java. UPnP could certainly have vulnerabilities as well (we know the gateway device spec does, servers and clients are less clear though). === egalitarianusa is now known as STF [04:24] *exploit [04:24] I am setting up a clustered server currently, do you know if Ubuntu Server will support all the same NICs as Ubuntu Desktop? [04:25] simpson_: yes... [04:25] CIDR: It's easy enough to upgrade the userspace without changing the kernel, I don't see a reason not to here. [04:25] thank you [04:25] cyanboy: will the pc boot into ubuntu ? [04:26] yes, I am currently in ubuntu now [04:27] I have a problem with my Java installation. I'm running Ubuntu 12.04 64-bit. When updating, I get a Package operation failure with a pretty lengthy readout. Should I go ahead and post it anyway, or? [04:27] cyanboy: what distro are you using [04:27] Ubuntu 12.10 [04:28] hey guys, i can't edit tags in rhythmbox, nothing wrong with permissions, is it a bug or rhythmbox doesn't support this feature anymore? [04:31] for those new laptop with SSD+HDD, will ubuntu be smart enough to leverage that? [04:31] or should I pick that SSD as a swap device? [04:31] not sure how the OS uses that SSD, seems like the filesystem should be aware of that [04:32] you might just need to update grub ... i've never done a triple boot ... there are a few people in the channel now i think could help you ... rephrase your question in the form of ... how to use update-grub [04:33] xxiao: Hmm, isn't that handled by the disk controller? [04:33] Tex_Nick: fyi, whatever grub was installed last, is currently in control (and only it's "update-grub" will do anything)... [04:33] i heard of some kernel feature that allows using of ssd as cache device for hdd or it's not what u're talking about? [04:33] Tex_Nick: I've done up to like a hexaboot :P, who needs to know? [04:33] I ran update grub, should I try a reboot? [04:33] kunji : cyanboy [04:34] cyanboy: Did you see it detect everything you wanted it to on the command line output? [04:34] kunji: not sure, otherwise filesystem needs to be aware of cache-ddr-ssd-sata [04:34] It found all the OS's [04:35] cyanboy: Then you're probably good to go, they should show up and work on reboot. [04:35] i don't think there is a controller that is so smart to do caching etc with a SSD and HDD hanging on it [04:35] brb it is! [04:35] xxiao: Hmm, true, I would have to look it up, intuitively I want to say it's done by the controller in hardware, but I could be wrong. [04:36] I have installed Scid, When I press this ubuntu start button and write scid it doesn't show up... but I can start it from a terminal. Why is that? [04:37] xxiao: Hmm, why not, it's exactly what is done for RAM all the time, except that the cpu makes the decisions, whereas here it would be done locally by disk controller [04:37] kunji : good to see you ... thanks for chiming in there ... hexaboot !!! that's cool ... i've always chilled at dual ;-) lol [04:37] xxiao: Lemme read up on them a bit though and get back to you [04:38] Tex_Nick: What's also really cool is that grub2 can boot from isos ^_^ [04:38] ideally it should be L1-->L2-->DDR-->SSD-->SATA now. for disk controllers if you hook a SSD and a SATA on its ports(same SAS interface) i don't think the controller can tell the difference [04:38] will this feature work with dm-crypt + luks encrypted instance? [04:38] it will just treat them as sda and sdb [04:39] kind of sit in parallel and defeats the purposes of buffering/caching [04:39] xxiao: Not that controller, we're talking about the disks that have ssd and spinny portions right? The disk controller, which each HD or SSD has. === randy is now known as Guest2509 [04:40] kunji: oh that one storage controller, but it's too late when data hits that [04:40] the os needs to be aware of their difference ahead of time i assume? [04:40] xxiao: Too late to do what? [04:41] xxiao: I suspect that it is actually transparent to the OS [04:41] say the os knows DDR and disk are different [04:41] but i doubt the OS knows anything on disk controller/speed, say, i insert a usb stick and a hard drive, the os knows nothing on their performance [04:41] it will treat them same as sda, sdb, etc [04:41] xxiao, http://atlas.evilpiepirate.org/git/linux-bcache.git/tree/Documentation/bcache.txt?h=bcache-dev ? [04:42] why ls -l nvidia* gives me : ls: cannot access nvidia*: No such file or directory ??? [04:42] xxiao: But I think in this case the OS will only see sda and will not know what data is on the ssd vs. on the hdd. [04:43] `mount /dev/bcache0 /mnt` seems legit [04:43] It didn't work :( [04:43] in the rEFIt meny, Windows took me to grub. I tried selecting Windows 8, but then it failed to load [04:43] nvidia-smi -a [04:43] NVIDIA: could not open the device file /dev/nvidiactl (No such file or directory). [04:43] NVIDIA-SMI has failed because it couldn't communicate with NVIDIA driver. Make sure that latest NVIDIA driver is installed and running. [04:44] xxiao: You can also do it the way you're thinking of, but I think it's much less common, and it done completely in software in that case, you don't even need to be using a hybrid disk. [04:44] also after the grub-update ubuntu wouldn't boot normally [04:44] cyanboy: rEFIt? [04:44] yes [04:44] kunji: i'm buying a ssd+hdd laptop for ubuntu solely, not sure if it's worthwhile for the extra fee on ssd if ubuntu can not leverage it [04:45] iknofailfu: great stuff, what's the status on that? merged? need patch it? [04:45] xxiao, did u check the link? [04:45] xxiao: put / on the ssd and /home on hdd ... thats all you need to know [04:45] well i've seen it was announced a while ago the only thing i know is that it already works at least [04:45] xxiao: Look into it a bit more, but what I'm saying it I don't think Ubuntu needs to know jack squat about how the drive runs things internally in order to use it because it's handled by the disk controller. [04:45] *is [04:46] GeekSquid, so what r advantages of putting /home on hdd instead of ssd? [04:46] what is the best way to get back into my wpa2 network m dad locked me out of ? [04:46] shadowflee: Beg forgiveness [04:46] shadowflee, to make ur homework [04:47] since SSD wins in random IO probably it should be used a tmpfs [04:47] cyanboy: I'm not sure what that is, is this an EFI system you're dealing with, because that complicates things -_- [04:47] I have noticed :C [04:47] xxiao: what no [04:47] xxiao: You might not have any choice, as the OS may only see one disk [04:47] xxiao: I use an SSD for my / and an HDD for my /home. [04:48] rypervenche: do no bcache as iknofailfu mentioned above at all? [04:48] xxiao: Really, I suspect it works very much like virtual memory does. [04:48] s/do/so/ [04:49] kunji: i doubt it unless you have patch mentioned above [04:49] xxiao, if i were u i would check the status of this thing, maybe its already works like a charm almost out of the box [04:49] xxiao: kunji is correct. by putting the operating system on the ssd it gives extremly fast access to os stuff... your personal files, music, video can take just a little longer to load, but really if you can stream full frame 1080p from a hdd no problem. but can you load libreoffice, have mysql flying data in and out, and compile all the code you want to an from the ssd at blazing speed, then you store the data on the hdd, done deal [04:49] GeekSquid: umm, that's not what I was saying [04:49] xxiao: I have no problem.s [04:50] no guys ur advices ruin the main idea of ssd advantages [04:50] because ur .profile folders r stored at /home which is hdd in ur case [04:50] xxiao: Really really fast compiling times.^^ [04:50] and thats not what he was asking about [04:50] Also we're not talking about SSD + HDD, we're talking about a hybrid disk, which has both internal to it, I'm quite sure it's controller will handle the caching transparently [04:51] kernel features responsible for that [04:51] alright, for $30 more I can add a 16GB SSD [04:51] kunji: really at that point your are talking about the limits of the SATA connection (i.e. laptop hardware) [04:52] Forgot to select what to install during installation process, I now have a minimal install, what are the packages to isntall default WM and basic tools? [04:52] IdeaPad Y500 Laptop - 59360241 vs 59360242 === rooter is now known as rootpt [04:52] how do I flush my DNS cache? [04:52] 41 is $30 more than 42 as it has a 16GB SSD [04:52] xxiao, that sounds like a bit expensive [04:52] Here's the article: http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Hybrid_drive [04:52] i.e. force a lookup on the server? [04:52] ReAzem: sudo apt-get install ubuntu-desktop [04:52] GeekSquid, Thanks [04:53] iknofailfu: $879 vs $849 [04:53] hey guys, was wondering if anyone could help me out. seems when i install ubuntu on my toshiba, it initially installs and works reasonably well. but then after i update, ubuntu updates so that the wifi no longer works. after trying all kinds of stuff, ive reinstalled. does anyone know how i can update everything but whatever stupid thing it wants to do to my wifi ? [04:53] 1080p which is nice [04:53] xxiao, i mean paying for 16gb of ssd [04:54] iknofailfu: it is...but it's the way it is, i wish it's 128GB [04:54] or larger [04:54] But it's not so much 16 GB of SSD you're paying for, you're really paying for an integrated cache. Like getting a machine with more RAM, but as an intermediate step. [04:54] its all like 30-100$ for 16gb of ram and u're going to buy 16 gb of ssd while u could just buy some 60gb ssd drive and be happy instead of spending money for questionable features [04:54] anyone know why ubuntu insists on updates that skrew up wifi drivers all the time? if it works to begin with, why update it so it doesnt work? [04:55] prariedogux: Umm, most should be touching the wifi drivers, did you do a kernel update? [04:55] good points, now swinging to the one without SSDs :) [04:56] the thing is it's a laptop, i can't really put a SSD into it [04:56] Did you guys read the article I linked yet, I have a feeling no one read it -_- [04:56] kunji.. i think so. it says 'can only do a partial update' first, then you have to run update again afterwards.. which would be great, if it didnt wipe out the wifi [04:56] xxiao, im running laptop with ssd and hdd placed over hdd-caddy instead of optical drive [04:56] prariedogux: Hmm, I've never had that happen before actually, my update have always been all at once, that's pretty weird. [04:57] prariedogux: a "partial upgrade" translates to "system is gonna break" and by the sounds of it - that's what your experiencing [04:57] xxiao: why wouldn't you be able to put an ssd in a laptop, they make ssd's for laptops, although the price point makes it an issue [04:57] its a fresh install. [04:57] GeekSquid: He means he can't fit both an SSD and HDD [04:57] prariedogux: which version? [04:57] GeekSquid: i mean to add a ssd , not sure if there is space for that [04:57] system is new. so no, i think it upgrades the kernel, and repos, and then after that, finish the upgrates [04:57] 12.04 [04:57] xxiao: Probably not [04:58] xxiao: some lappys have 2 drive bays [04:58] thing is, the initial install leaves me with wifi. the update breaks it [04:58] they always do until there is sata plug for optical drive :/ [04:58] my wifi is realtek 8188ce [04:58] See, I would expect most hybrid drives to operate similar to how this one does: http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Fusion_Drive [04:59] prariedogux: does it warn you saying it's going to do a "partial upgrade"? [04:59] http://image.made-in-china.com/2f0j00ZsuaUbVRVYof/Universal-Second-HDD-Caddy.jpg [04:59] prariedogux: try dling 12.10 and see if that works ootb [04:59] yes [04:59] prariedogux: always answer no to that... it's system breaking! [05:00] zykotick9: not always [05:00] kunji, same is done over bcache [05:00] Ben64: ahhh, pretty much. Something can't be update - what that "something" is, will determine the extent of the damage. [05:00] iknofailfu: I know, but he can't fit two drives in the laptop === Tazen is now known as Taz|Smoking [05:01] Here's another example that works a bit differently, caches at the block level: http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Smart_Response_Technology [05:01] thats another question to discuss, if there is optical drive (who on earth still needs one) he still cat buy hdd caddy [05:01] so i would start from laptop model === Noskcaj_School is now known as Noskcaj [05:02] Ben64: the only time i saw "partial updates" on ubuntu was when i was running the development release. "aptitude safe-upgrade" would update without breaking stuff, in those cases. [05:02] iknofailfu: Oh, I just kind of assumed no optical :P [05:02] apt-get has no "safe-upgrade" that i'm aware of... [05:03] zykotick9: I thought it was only supposed to do safe update by default per se and only do otherwise if forced [05:03] is there a way to make sure my video settings won't change upon a reboot? like no matter what monitor etc... is plugged in? === ericab is now known as ericab_away [05:04] CIDR: Umm, with nvidia drivers? Not a nice way, you could probably write an xorg.conf and lock down permissions on it or something [05:04] iknofailfu: the caddy looks great, thanks [05:04] zykotick9: partial upgrades are just dist-upgrades, not necessarily bad at all [05:04] yeah with nvidia drivers [05:04] Ben64: no, they're not. not even close... === IcePee is now known as Guest5228 [05:05] zykotick9: they are in fact the same [05:05] xxiao, please remember that it shouldn't cost more that 25$ no matter what prices u will meet, its all the same of standart, cheaper is better in this case [05:06] Mardi Gras sale on Newegg, so I guess check it out if you're looking to buy stuff [05:07] Ben64: this was the 1st relevant hit, didn't read all of it but http://ubuntuforums.org/showthread.php?t=1859240 [05:08] seems "partial upgrade" on 12.04 is almost common... [05:08] that's bad [05:08] j [05:08] Anyone have any ideas about this question I posted? https://answers.launchpad.net/ubuntu/+question/221838 [05:09] zykotick9: I did actually jump ship from 12.04 to 12.10 pretty quickly, because of a kernel update that broke my wireless in 12.04. === derek is now known as Guest94107 [05:10] kunji : i think that sale ends at midnight tonight in the us pacific time ... i just got a WD 2TB drive for $85 a couple hours ago :) [05:10] Ends in a little under 3 hours [05:11] Tex_Nick: blue or green? [05:11] do they ship it worldwide? === ericab is now known as ericab_away [05:11] Ben64: also be aware, that the "fix" for proceeding with a partial upgrade is often reinstall === ericab_away is now known as ericab === ke5pcv is now known as ke5pcv-away [05:12] iknofailfu: Hmm, I'm not sure actually. [05:12] GeekSquid: green ... and the user feedback was BAD only 3 stars ... i hope that was due to techo-wennies ;-) [05:13] Tex_Nick: sorry to say I only buy blue... or better if the client can afford it [05:13] kunji, could u please tell me again where is it? broke my eyes to find it above [05:14] iknofailfu: http://promotions.newegg.com/NEemail/Feb-0-2013/Mardigras12/index-landing.html?nm_mc=EMC-GD021313&cm_mmc=EMC-GD021313-_-index-_-topBanner-_-MardiGars48HRs-EB1 Does that work, I got it through an e-mail promo, not sure if they cross check that. [05:14] GeekSquid: yeah ... the box i'm on now boots from a 1TB WD blue ... drive i ordered is for personal data :) [05:14] kunji, thank you [05:14] I got a dead blue drive not long ago, that and the SSD were both opened, I'm pretty sure the feds check all the mail to and from my house -_- [05:15] At least Newegg gave me a full refund including shipping, so that was good of them. [05:16] see weren't we just talking ssd's ... $129 for a 120 gig laptop drive from intel, or 89 from samsung cheap [05:16] kunji, do u think they have their reasons? lol [05:17] kunji: Checking or replacing? ;) [05:17] kunji : newegg is good bout that ... return postage/freight is no fun ... [05:17] we the people rise up in the support of kunj's freedome !!! ;-) [05:18] iknofailfu: Not really, they have superficial reasons, like that my dad is from Qatar, and I run a home VPN, stuff like that, but my records spotless ^_^ [05:18] once upon a time i bought some fine whiskey bottle on ebay for only 349$ and it was stolen on the way to my lands by ukranian customs abviously :D [05:18] o* [05:18] lasers: Not sure, but I did my low level formats on the SSD, and the other drive got returned, so oh well. [05:19] formats and ssd is a long and sad story in context of data privacy [05:20] it should be encrypted on start, unfortunately dm-crypt drops performance to zero [05:20] iknofailfu: dd works wonders ^_^ [05:20] nope [05:21] iknofailfu: Hmm? For preventing any code that was on the disk from being able to run, it should do the job. Now for preventing my data from being read, that's a different story [05:22] kunji: Secret FED technology -- Wireless dd -- Only works with FED hard drives in which they replaced yours with theirs. [05:22] kunji, oh, that sounds fair [05:22] does anybody here know about PelicanHPC? [05:22] lasers: lol, I hope they haven't got that yet, but all that's on the drive is OS files anyway [05:23] because I need to know what kind of software you can run on the slave nodes [05:24] simpson_: Well, it's Debian based, so most anything. Job performance will really depend on how parallel the code can be made. [05:25] simpson_: what are you trying to do? math? parallell proc? something proprietary? [05:25] lasers: shhhhhh ... man don't be giv'n em ideas ;-) [05:25] I mean can I run say any normal code like a web browser distrobuted? I dont want several instances on each node, I want for the "job" to be split into parts for each node. [05:25] simpson_: The jobs for the cluster will need to be custom written, you won't just be taking something and throwing it on any cluster and be expecting it to partition itself. [05:26] alright haha [05:26] simpson_: Yeah, you'll need to do some modification on say the Apache code base, but that can be done [05:26] what about just selecting a single job for each node, like one node running apache, another mysql etc.. [05:26] or load balancing [05:26] simpson_: For that you don't even need them working as a cluster [05:27] I am doing this mostly for fun.. I also want to run some servers.. haha [05:27] do you think it has software to manage it kinda like proxmox or KVM? [05:28] simpson_: Hmm, well, if it's mostly for fun, have you seen the raspberry pi supercomputer? === STF is now known as FreakingTea [05:28] yes [05:28] I have a raspberry pi with me right now [05:29] but I got 4 good laptops I am not using.. [05:29] * cfhowlett thinks "Raspberry is now a "super" computer???" [05:29] simpson_: Yeah, their setup is documented here: http://www.southampton.ac.uk/~sjc/raspberrypi/pi_supercomputer_southampton.htm [05:29] I saw that link before [05:29] there was a "paralella" kickstarter project u might wanna look at also [05:30] Isn't there something called a ROCKS cluster, maybe that would be good? [05:30] well when I am distrobuting a task, do you think I could run my master as a node too... like use computational power of my master aswell as all the other nodes? [05:31] I've never done this before [05:31] http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Rocks_Cluster_Distribution === aemaeth is now known as Guest48453 [05:31] Is it possible to create bootable Ubuntu 12.04 xen pv iso? i have downloaded kernel and ramdisk what else is required to make it a bootable xen pv iso? === daniel is now known as Guest4727 [05:32] Whoops... I think we've all been letting ourselves get off track.. we should have been in ubuntu-offtopic === Taz|Smoking is now known as Tazen [05:32] Problem with compiz keybindings: If I bind anything to +asciicircum, that keybinding stops working after reboot. If I unset it and set it again, it works again, until reboot. dr_willis_ asked if this happens for all users: to check I created a second user and disabled autologin. Now the keybinding worked fine for _both_ users. I reenabled autologin for my main user, the keybinding didn't work. I enabled autologin for the second user, the keyb [05:32] inding didn't work. If after autologin I logout and login again, the keybinding works. Then I disabled autologin again, and again it worked fine for both users. Any ideas? Possible workaround: is there a way to set such compiz options from command line / from an autostart script? [05:33] hello [05:33] hey [05:33] i tried installing a package [05:33] I have a failing 1TB MBR drive that I want to recover to a 3TB drive, but I want the 3TB drive to be GPT [05:33] it failed to installed [05:33] what would be the procedure to do this? [05:34] now i am getting an error for that package everytime i try to install a new package [05:34] is there workaround for this [05:34] I know I could just ddrescue the MBR drive to the 3TB drive, but that would copy the MBR partition layout, which I do not want [05:34] ? [05:34] elena-IK: If you know the commands to set the keybindings you can put them in a file names .xprofile in your home folder, I think that would do the trick. [05:35] Sazpaimon: Is there another drive you could copy too temporarily? [05:35] theperfectpunk: you need to update so the packages will install [05:35] theperfectpunk: see if "sudo apt-get -f install" removes it [05:35] kunji, no there is not [05:35] and I would prefer to not have to mount the volumes on the drive because of the fact that it is failing [05:35] if possible I'd like to use ddrescue [05:35] Sazpaimon: Or you can just go ahead and make the 3 TB gpt, but then ddrescue to an iso on that drive, then mount that and copy off the data. [05:36] theperfectpunk, did you get an error message? and how did you attempt installation? software center or terminal? [05:36] simpson_: the people over at hak5.org were doing some interseting projects with rasberry cluster a while ago ... [05:36] after sudo apt-get -f instal it's giving the same error [05:36] got a deb file [05:36] synatptics touchpad driver [05:36] I am not planning on a raspberry cluster. [05:36] tried to install it using ubntu software center [05:37] theperfectpunk, the command to install a deb is not apt-get. It's sudo dpkg packagename.deg -i [05:37] sudo-apt-get -f install returning the ame error [05:37] kunji, so make a 1TB partition on the drive, copy the 1TB disk over as an image, bind mount it, create partitions on the other 2TB of the drive copy the data over, delete the 1TB partition, and extend the other partitions as needed? [05:37] that's just crazy enough to work [05:37] simpson_: I know, I just thought some of it might be applicable. Look up Beowulf clusters as well [05:37] theperfectpunk, dpkg -i foo.deb [05:37] i installed the deb file using ubuntu software center [05:37] it did not install [05:38] theperfectpunk, oh, ok. what is the exact error message returned? [05:38] I have.. I tried to build a MPI one once but it has different architectures and operating systems and they couldnt communicate.. couldnt set up RSH and RLOGIN properly [05:38] i'll give u a pastebin [05:38] wait === vjn_ is now known as vjn [05:38] synapstic drivers should be allready included. what did you download from where? [05:39] Sazpaimon: Nah, a little less complicated. Format the whole thing as 3 TB gpt drive. And iso file is in fact a block device, so you can copy the 1 TB to an iso file located on the 3 TB drive. Then you can mount the iso file as a loopback device and just copy off the files. [05:39] *An, not and [05:39] actually there is a button in the corner of the touchpad which turns it off [05:39] it's not working nor is the led [05:39] kunji, well the original drive has multiple partitions which I would like to retain on the 3TB drive [05:39] but the touchpad works? [05:39] simpson : i just looked ... looks like that project has migrated into a virtualization clusters with proxmox ... http://hak5.org/it/virtualization-cluster-for-under-1000 ... [05:39] just, you know, larger [05:40] Sazpaimon: But you want it to be gpt? Hmm, that gets complicated I think [05:40] http://pastebin.com/svSUvtNY [05:40] why not to dd the partition to 3tb drive and extend it later [05:40] yeah it works but no multi touch support [05:40] kunji, to be specific, the 1TB drive has 4 partitions, and I want 1 partition to go on a 500GB drive as MBR, and the other 3 go to the 3TB drive [05:40] iknofailfu: Because his original is not gpt and he wants the 3 TB drive to be gpt [05:40] why won't my idea work? [05:41] just make a 1TB drive image, mount it, and copy the files over to new partitions on the 3TB drive, then extend them? [05:41] Sazpaimon: wait, what the, a 500 GB MBR!??!?!? [05:41] kunji, yeah I should have specified that [05:41] the 500GB drive is going to be the OS drive, since it'd be silly to have that on a 3TB drive [05:42] how to remove this error guys [05:42] turns up everytime i try to install a package [05:42] http://pastebin.com/svSUvtNY [05:42] so the OS partition on the 1TB will go onto that drive [05:43] Sazpaimon: Oh, well both drives will have their own MBRs. Thing is, it sounds like you want to do file level copies instead of block level. If you do the block level copy you will not end up with a gpt drive [05:43] right [05:43] i'll make a block level copy of the entire drive to an image on the 3TB drive [05:43] theperfectpunk, http://ubuntuforums.org/showthread.php?t=1738264 [05:43] then do file-level copies from that image to other partitions on the 3TB [05:43] Sazpaimon: So I think you should still do it similar to what I suggested, but partition the 3 TB how you want it first. [05:43] Yeah [05:44] http://www.dirigibleflightcraft.com/CbN/ seems like the only thing that will work unless I want to just install ubuntu on all of them and set it up manually.. I am not using a separate network specifically for the cluster. [05:44] Err, but block level to the iso file [05:44] right [05:44] Sazpaimon: Yeah, I think it should work. [05:44] now, question, if I have an image file of the 1TB drive, and that iso file has multiple partitions, how do I mount them seperately [05:45] do I need to know the offsets and feed them to mount explicitly? [05:45] I need a GUI though [05:45] Sazpaimon: You don't, but you won't need to at that point because after that it's file level copies you need right? [05:45] but in case u're interested google knows for sure [05:45] kunji, well, I'll have this ISO file with the entire 1TB drive on it, how will I be able to mount the partitions on that ISO to get to the files to copy them over? [05:45] Why not a separate small hard drive for OS alone? [05:46] !iso [05:46] To mount an ISO disc image, type « sudo mount -o loop » - There is a list of useful cd image conversion tools at http://wiki.linuxquestions.org/wiki/CD_Image_Conversion - Always verify the ISO using !MD5 before !burning. [05:46] dr_willis, the ISO will have multiple partitions on it [05:46] Sazpaimon, http://rentageekla.com/2010/10/27/how-to-mount-an-iso-that-contains-multiple-partitions/ [05:46] you need to specify the file formatting also [05:46] okay, so I was right, I'll need specify the offsets explicitly [05:46] that's ok [05:47] sounds to me like its a hd image.. not an iso file [05:47] dr_jesus, it is a HD image, I was saying iso file because that's what kunji was calling it and I didn't want to cause any confusion [05:47] which I ended up doing anyway, lol [05:47] dr_willis: Well, it is an hd image, in an iso file :P [05:47] Sazpaimon: You could ddrescue each partitions. Seems easier than dding the whole thing. [05:48] yeah, that'd work too [05:48] Sazpaimon: Yeah lasers suggestion should be a lot easier [05:48] anyone know how i can setup 2 WAN links with automatic fail-over support? [05:48] dding a hd to a file and renameing it foo.iso is NOT an iso file [05:48] sam_, pretty advanced question ... perhaps better asked in #ubuntu-server ??? [05:48] sam_: I want to say heartbeat, but it's been a while, I don't remember well [05:49] is trace route normally preinstalled on a standard 12.04 image? [05:49] hmm.. thanks [05:49] traceroute6 was, but v4 wasn't…. just curious [05:49] intelligentfool: I think it's not, but the GUI network tools does a trace route with something, not sure what it uses [05:49] Sazpaimon, before u will bury the hard drive that was responsible for all that hell, consider using free "mhdd" utility which is simple, free, works and saved me tons of cash for buying new hdds [05:49] intelligentfool: i don't think it is [05:50] is there a reason it's not preinstalled? and v6 is? [05:50] seems silly [05:50] intelligentfool: Does v6 happen to also do v4? [05:51] heh, didn't try [05:51] alright, so here's the plan: 1. Make 1 partition on the 500GB drive, 2. Make 4 partitions on the 3TB drive, with one of them being about 1TB. 3. On the 1TB drive, ddrescue partitions 1-4 to the 1TB partition on the 3TB drive 4. loopback mount each partition. 5. copy files from partition 1 to the 500GB drive. 6. Copy files from partitions 2-4 to partitions 1-3 on the 3TB drive. 7. Delete the 1TB partiti [05:51] on on the 3TB drive 8. Extend partitions 1-3 as needed [05:51] phew [05:51] kunji, "unknown host" [05:52] intelligentfool: Hmm, the GUI does ipv4 with something, sorry I don't know what [05:52] eh, i was just raising the point in case there's any ubuntu dev's in here [05:52] i'm guessing it was left out accidentally [05:52] what point [05:53] trace route is a standard diagnostic tool, its like not including ping or something [05:53] intelligentfool: Hmm, I'm not so sure about that, I don't remember it being in by default for a while now. === ubuntu is now known as Guest26774 [05:53] u may need ping6 also hah [05:54] so someone tell me this....why is it when you run out of hard drive space does the computer just crash???? [05:54] intelligentfool: i had to specifically install it on 12.10 [05:54] i had to go into terminal and delete a few things to get my computer to boot up again. bullshit [05:54] apt-get install traceroute is easy enough, just odd. i'm done complaining :) [05:54] unreal__, so long as processes can run in ram, no crash ... [05:54] right?? [05:55] try it sometime [05:55] i was thinking because it had no more pagefile it could have but i dont really know much about computers [05:55] intelligentfool: i was of the same opinion ??? [05:55] still complaining about crashes [05:55] Tex_Nick, i wasn't responding to you, sorry [05:55] unreal__: I'll say to install htop to see CPU/RAM/etc -- but I'm afraid you won't have room for that. [05:56] I did the same thing last year and had to reinstall ubuntu well i did it again tonight and I actually tried deleting a couple things and VOILA it booted back up [05:56] htop? [05:56] htop. [05:56] I have 2 gigs now. i found out deleting packages clears up a whole lotta space [05:57] apt=get install htop??? [05:57] - not = [05:57] cleaning the cache help free up space [05:57] ya [05:57] Hey do you guys know if its possible to run PelicanHPC without a dedicated LAN? I basically want to run it on my normal WiFi. [05:58] whats pelicanhpc? [05:58] parallel computing over wifi sounds strange [05:58] is there a gui version of htop? [05:59] i wasn't paying attention, what's htop? [05:59] xterm -e htop ;-) [05:59] shows processes [05:59] unreal__: Meh. Use htop. It's all it is, just stats to look at. [05:59] like top [05:59] htop is nice === vjn_ is now known as vjn [05:59] is there a gui htop [05:59] wut [05:59] grrr ill do it over wifi anyway [06:00] no need fro a gui htop. ;-) [06:00] is there a nice pretty version of htop or task manager [06:00] it won't work for it's main purpose over wifi i suspect [06:00] htop is pretty. [06:00] I just wanted to put it in my unity bar [06:00] there other process monitor tools in the repos [06:00] unreal__: if you set colors in bash, htop is very pretty [06:00] cuz ill forget what its called [06:00] xterm -e htop make a script that runs this..... [06:00] it is rather nice stock [06:00] teal [06:01] or make a gnome-terminal profile that runs it [06:01] is there a command to do that [06:01] dr_willis: sidenote - xterm is weak. urxvt is a much better terminal, while still being 'light' [06:01] make a terminal profile? [06:02] phhhr.. you kids these days.. [06:02] ;-) [06:02] gnome-terminal has prifiles yes.. [06:02] Huh, I can't find documentation on gnome-nettool, people seem to be under the impression that it uses traceroute, but I think it may actually use tracepath, considering that it works, but traceroute is not installed on my system. [06:03] you people writing smileys with `-` calling someone kids these days.. [06:03] dr_willis: "kids", i wish. i'm almost 40 :(.. [06:03] kunji, perhaps this question is better off in #ubuntu-server ???? [06:03] awww [06:03] im 28 [06:04] i got shoes older then that.... [06:04] get off my lawn! [06:04] HAHA [06:04] yeah and i wear my granpa's pantalons [06:04] lol [06:04] cfhowlett: Hmm, was more of a comment on intelligentfool's question, that is, I think traceroute is not installed by default because tracepath does the job. [06:04] suspenders AND a belt here.. [06:04] is anybody here a programmer? [06:05] unreal__: progammer in what? [06:05] python or any language really [06:05] tracepath eh [06:05] unreal__: programmer is pretty broad, also sounds like something for #ubuntu-offtopic [06:05] tmyk [06:05] bbl. [06:05] is this room for a specific topic? [06:06] unreal__: Yep, Ubuntu support. [06:06] unreal__, ubuntu support here please [06:06] what are some rooms I can just chat in? [06:06] !ot|unreal__, [06:06] unreal__,: #ubuntu is the Ubuntu support channel, for all Ubuntu-related support questions. Please use #ubuntu-offtopic for other topics (though our !guidelines apply there too). Thanks! [06:06] unreal__: try #programming or ##c [06:06] ok thanks! [06:07] oh, another question regarding this transfer. Since the filesystem on these drives is NTFS, will ntfs-3g retail permissions on those files if I copy them over to another drive? [06:07] s/retail/retain [06:07] awesome, i'd never heard of tracepath, seems like traceroute but with MTU's. yay [06:07] like, if I copy the OS partition from one drive to another, will all the file permissions and attributes remain the same? [06:08] using dd - yes? [06:08] no, using a plain file copy [06:08] tracepath relies on PMTUD which requires ICMP unreachables as a warning. Unfortunatly a good number of systems still block ICMP unreachables. [06:08] what is the target fs [06:08] ntfs [06:08] and source is? [06:08] ntfs [06:08] should work [06:09] ok, so a cp -r would be the same as, say robocopy /MIR /COPYALL /SEC in windows [06:09] i assume yes but without fragmentation [06:09] understandably [06:09] but i'm not sure honestly [06:10] enix0r, a good number of systems block ICMP unreachables? [06:10] like what? [06:10] I'll double check with the ntfs-3g devs [06:10] i believe they're turned on for cisco, juniper, etc by default [06:10] back in early 2000 blocking icmp unreachables was actually recommended to protect the control plane of routers [06:11] actually there's no ntfs-3g channel, oops [06:11] this was before control plane policing policies were avaiable [06:11] enix0r, yea, that sounds about right, so yea, could be some legacy stuff still out there [06:11] yeah I have run across a fair number in EMEA and APAC [06:11] i found a box with 8.5 yr uptime on my network :) [06:11] mostly eastern block countries [06:14] intelligentfool, nice 8.5 years uptime is impressive. What platform? [06:15] my bet its *bsd [06:15] hey maybe it's Windows ME! [06:15] no [06:15] haha [06:15] solaris? [06:15] enix0r, i think it was a cisco 2611 or 2612 [06:15] :/// [06:16] those guys are workhorses, I haven't run into one of those in quite a few years now [06:16] yea, they never die [06:16] The 2800 series ISRs did a really good job of kicking those off networks [06:16] met freebsd with 2 years 8 months of uptime [06:21] Is it possible to create bootable ubuntu 12.04 xen pv iso? i have downloaded kernel and ramdisk what else is required to make it a bootable xen pv iso [06:24] krypto: xen pv? What's that now? [06:24] ... [06:24] xen para virtual machine [06:26] unreal__: Look into bleachbit too. (delete unnecessary files from the system [06:26] what's the use of w! in vi editor ? [06:27] iirc write, without asking about overwriting [06:27] even if the user doesn't have write options he can still make changes to the file with w!. [06:27] no [06:28] Night, I'm going to bed. Take care. [06:28] night [06:29] we can read u a story === isr45_ is now known as isr45 [06:35] is it NOT possible to hide join/depart messages with empathy? I mean I know there isnt an option readily available, does anyone have a hack for it? [06:35] installing ubuntu onto 5 computers right now.. xD [06:35] if a user is already part of two groups, how do you add that user into another group? [06:36] to make a total of 3 groups [06:36] Es0teric: "sudo adduser USERNAME GROUPNAME" [06:36] zykotick9 i am talking about an existing user [06:36] not a new user [06:36] Es0teric: so am i! [06:36] ok [06:38] Es0teric: it quite common for people to use usermod, and use it incorrectly, and thus loose all groups EXECPT the one they're adding (which is bad). using adduser is a lot saver. [06:38] yeah, i see zykotick9 [06:38] also, zykotick9 i get this error -> Error -125: remote chdir failed [06:38] when trying to go to a directory in my IDE [06:39] Es0teric: cant help with that - no clue what that is. [06:39] lol @simpson_ [06:39] i love this [06:40] Hi, I just installed Xchat. [06:40] Es0teric: if your curious, the correct usermod way would be "usermod -a -G " [06:40] so bored figure i just come on in bored to high heaven [06:40] hi pinky [06:40] wiggmpk i know why now [06:40] chmod permissions were wrong [06:40] u da pinky frm friday? [06:40] Es0teric: whats important here is the capital -G, I believe thats what zykotick9 was referring to.. lower case g would change the group instead of add [06:41] Nope. [06:41] wiggmpk i tried that [06:41] but it didnt work forme [06:41] *for me [06:41] say waht one more time! [06:41] only useradd worked [06:41] Es0teric: Please don't flood; use http://paste.ubuntu.com to paste; don't use Enter as punctuation. [06:41] what's a floodbot [06:41] yeah i got to get rid of that habit >.> [06:42] Es0teric: were you using "sudo" [06:42] Es0teric: with usermod i mean [06:42] wiggmpk, yes i was [06:42] Es0teric: interesting [06:43] pinky: a bot the channel uses to prevent spamming [flooding] [06:43] Goodbye. [06:43] is it possible to chmod multiple directories? [06:44] %#&%&^ [06:44] faulty hdd/disk [06:44] installation crashed [06:45] ffuuuu D: [06:45] lol [06:45] that always sucks [06:45] *dies* [06:46] Es0teric: i never tried it before, but you might be able to just list all the directories after each other [06:46] Es0teric: like "chmod ### /etc/something /etc/someone /etc/somewhere" [06:47] Es0teric: unless your trying to change a directory and all files and sub-directories under the main directory [06:47] wiggmpk yes i am [06:48] i am trying to do -R [06:48] Es0teric: then your doing it right [06:48] alright, cool === atrius is now known as atrius_away [06:53] hello [06:53] hi [06:54] Has Ubuntu been created from Debian live CD or from the Direct Installer ? [06:55] debian-live isn't a "real" debian project. ubuntu's live is at this point, it's own thing - i doubt it's based on anything anymore. certainly the mini, is based off debian's netinst. [06:56] shoot: the non-LTS release of Ubuntu are from the Debian Unstable branch.. is all I know [06:57] wiggmpk: every ubuntu release is from testing/unstable [06:57] yeah [06:58] iceroot: I suppose technically thats accurate [06:59] But Ubuntu has modified the Debian installer.iso or the Live CD [07:01] shoot: debian install cd's aren't LiveCD, so it couldn't possibly be based of that. the mini.iso is based of debian installer. [07:01] how can I see current file operations? It doesn't show up as a window in Docky? [07:01] I'm moving a whole lot of files, but the dialog isn't visible anymore [07:04] zykotick9, How the Ubuntu Live CD created? [07:05] shoot: no idea. [07:05] !ubiquity [07:05] ah [07:05] That is the script to install Ubuntu on HDD [07:05] shoot, history of ubuntu is available somewhere. Pretty sure some archive has the development details for what it's worth. [07:05] makara : you've probably checked, but if not ... see if it's on another workspace/minimized [07:06] !remaster | shoot [07:06] shoot: Interested in remastering the Ubuntu !LiveCD or !Alternate installer? See: https://help.ubuntu.com/community/LiveCDCustomization and https://help.ubuntu.com/community/InstallCDCustomization - Or use tools such as http://uck.sourceforge.net/ or http://linux.dell.com/wiki/index.php/DRU_Disc_Remastering_Utility [07:06] Tex_Nick, not there. It just disappeared, but won't let me remove the drive [07:08] it would be great to have a Unity plugin that shows all file transfer (files, dropbox, torrent, firefox download) [07:08] bit difficult to implement [07:09] makara: when you use Microsoft software what do you expect? docky is mono garbage (personal opinion only!) [07:09] zykotick9, are we talking about the same docky? [07:10] makara: yes. it's mono based that's MS's .net [07:10] makara: see "apt-cache depends docky" and see the libmono listed [07:12] zykotick9, what does docky have to do with the disappearance of Ubuntu's file transfer dialog? [07:12] makara: perhaps nothing! i though it disappeared from docky. [07:13] it disappeared period [07:13] are you sure it just isnt finished? [07:14] makara: if you want to know if it's still copying, you could install the terminal based iotop then run it using "sudo iotop" to see if stuff is still moving [07:16] Hello [07:17] makara : see if this will help ... http://ubuntuforums.org/showthread.php?t=1924417 [07:17] zykotick9, I know its still copying but I want to see the progress [07:18] makara: that i can't help with... good luck.

[07:18] iceroot: smartctl [07:18] zykotick9: that is only reading the smart-status? [07:19] iceroot: yes [07:19] iceroot: can also run tests [07:19] zykotick9: bad sectors are not part of the smart status? [07:19] zykotick9: ah ok, sounds good, i will have a look, thank you [07:19] iceroot: not sure...

I used 12.04 which doesnt have Gnome Shell 3.6 available [07:59] somsip: in panda they only get me one user and one pass . [07:59] Aahhh [07:59] mvt007geek: and what guide have you followed to get this far? [08:00] somsip: what do you mean? [08:00] haidou: you'll need the user theme extension too.. again, I cant really tell you how to get it either cause I use 12.04 [08:00] haidou: where did you install gnome-shell from? a PPA or some guide online?

[08:05] Setting up gnome-tweak-tool [08:06] jonrb: http://cdimage.ubuntu.com/ubuntu-server/precise/daily/current/ [08:06] jonrb: the best answer is 24 hours.. if they already updated the repositories it could still take 24 hours to propagate [08:06] there is a feb 14th daily for 12.04.2 wouldn't that technically be the same as todays release.. [08:06] haidou: after thats finished installing, go here https://extensions.gnome.org/ and look for the "User Themes" extension [08:07] haidou: then you can use gnome-tweak-tool with the user theme extension to install whatever gnome-shell theme you want [08:07] jonrb: not necessarily, no. there may be last second committs prior to the freeze. it happens. [08:07] Thank you. [08:07] np [08:07] jonrb: btw, when asking a question directly at someone, prefix the response with the username, for example: ejv: blah foo bar [08:07] ahh I will wait then =) thanks ejv [08:08] oh sorry [08:08] jonrb: yw, it's easy to get lost in here with all the chatter [08:08] ejv: especially when empathy wont let you filter join/left messages!!!! [08:09] wiggmpk: which is why you should use irssi [08:10] once you use irssi, you'll wonder why you ever used anything else [08:10] ejv: no, which is why empathy shouldnt be the default client! [08:10] ah; well, message still stands ;) [08:10] :) [08:10] hard shut down in the middle of a reset. when rebooting file check rand and couldnt mount /tmp. desktop background and settings default, folder containing original background loses all contents to the void. tried using another desktop prog. [08:10] files still missing [08:11] i know there's a question in there somewhere, I just can't find it... [08:11] Any GUI based backup tool which can do full back (incremental) of a remote server? I know rsync cli but looking for GUI based this time [08:11] !who [08:11] As you can see, this is a large channel. If you're speaking to someone in particular, please put their nickname in what you say (use !tab), or else messages get lost and it becomes confusing :) [08:12] vedic: grsync, zynk, etc. they exist. [08:12] vedic: if you're on windows, winscp supports it as well. [08:12] i had to log in and out, someone talked to me but idk who, anyone want to ctrl-f my name and find out who? [08:13] would have been 10-15 mins ago maybe [08:13] ejv: I don't think winscp can do backup scheduling? === piotr_ is now known as DeedlitWork [08:13] mooshroom_, did it work? [08:13] mooshroom_: cfhowlett [08:13] you a yogi vedic? [08:14] haidou: I am not yogi as of now :). But trying to be vedic. [08:14] vedic: that's an odd question, i can tell you have no idea, and should look at the WinSCP documentation. good luck. :) [08:15] ejv: well I do use winscp for file transfer but found it not doing scheduling [08:15] Me too. [08:15] vedic: you are mistaken, it does. [08:15] :-D [08:16] ejv: glad. Tnx for information [08:17] I'm looking to install Ubuntu along side Windows and I'm wondering what the best installation size would be best to use [08:17] vedic: it will exist in two parts: 1) you'll need to write a simple script, using WinSCP command line tools / keywords and 2) use Windows "task scheduler" to process your script. It can be found in Control Panel -> Administrative Tools -> Task Scheduler. Voila! Automatic backup. [08:18] I'm downloading Gnome-tweak-tool from the command line, but how do I know when it is done? [08:18] new_user, say 8 gb for / and whatever size you want for /home. don't forget swap ; 2 times your ram is my forumla [08:18] haidou, your cli prompt will return after download is complete [08:18] <_Ethan_> hi, im thinking about buying a good laptop (of about 700 EUR). I would use it specially for working (programming), any hint? Ubuntu will also be installed. [08:18] I'm using the installer and it isn't giving me an option for root [08:18] Okay, thanks. [08:19] vedic: http://winscp.net/eng/docs/scripting ; good luck reading. :) [08:19] _Ethan_, what country? for the record, Lenovo seems to run pretty good out of the box ... [08:19] !root|new_user, [08:19] new_user,: 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 [08:19] new_user: what were you expecting? [08:19] Hi there, I have this random bug where ps will hang and not respond to ctrl-c or ctrl-z. I've encountered this bug again, and it's one of the folders in /proc. So if I try to cat /proc/9888/cmdline, it will hang. strace shows it's hanging on the read system call.... does anyone have any idea how I can work out why and how to fix it? [08:19] that is so cheesy. [08:20] who is responsible for ubottu's cheese. [08:21] !brain | ejv [08:21] ejv: Hi! I'm #ubuntu's favorite infobot, you can search my brain yourself at http://ubottu.com/factoids.cgi | Usage info: http://ubottu.com/devel/wiki/Plugins | Bot channels and general info: https://wiki.ubuntu.com/IRC/Bots [08:21] well I have no option for / or /home.... just installation size I haven't installed anything yet [08:21] Hi, why cant see user list? [08:21] it was (mostly) rhetorical somsip, thank you though. [08:22] Manii: of this channel? no idea. what client are you using? [08:23] my desktop settings have all gone to default and my my pictures folder which contained my background has emptied. any ideas? [08:23] hai [08:23] happened after bad reboot [08:24] hi [08:24] is there any program like Ultraiso to edit ISO image with boot ? [08:24] mooshroom_: sounds like some possible file corruption? did you fsck? [08:25] no i didnt [08:25] ill try that [08:26] Adam-85: mount and mkisofs ? [08:26] evi Does it keep boot file as is ? [08:27] I get "FATAL: Could not load /lib/modules/3.8.0-6-generic/modules.dep: No such file or directory" when trying tp rom modprobe aftere installing 12.10. Anyone who knows how to solve this? [08:27] Adam-85: I'm not sure, I would read the mkisofs documentation, to be sure of it's intentions. [08:27] *to run [08:27] ok [08:27] Adam-85: http://cdrecord.berlios.de/private/man/mkisofs-2.0.html [08:29] hamaza [08:29] how do i use the gnome extensions here--> https://extensions.gnome.org/ ? [08:31] hm === simpson_ is now known as fastrack === predator217 is now known as predator117 [08:32] evi thanks , and it support boot and get boot from iso also [08:32] haidou: Extensions can be installed per-user in ~/.local/share/gnome-shell/extensions, or systemwide in /usr/share/gnome-shell/extensions and /usr/local/share/gnome-shell/extensions. [08:32] haidou: https://live.gnome.org/GnomeShell/Extensions [08:34] The more I use Ubuntu, the more I know how much I didn't know 0.0 [08:34] haidou: about the same with everything :P [08:36] So true Kepler [08:36] uname -r says I'm using 3.8.0-6-generic, but it seems /lib/modules/3.8.0-6-generic doesn't exist. Is it listed somewhere what to install to get that folder installed? [08:37] "The more I know, the less I understand" - Don Henley, "The Heart of the Matter" from The End of the Innocence, 1989. [08:37] ^_^ [08:37] * ejv feels old. [08:38] Hola [08:48] who had that spice rack site going? [08:48] Okay, I'm confused. Do I have to make my own extension to a theme, or do I download extensions? [08:48] AlanBell was it your site? === jimmy is now known as jarco [08:57] so my "my pictures" folder annihilated itself and my desktop settings reset. ive tried loading in and out of another desktop env, ive now run fsck, which said .2 of the filesystem was non contiguous. [08:57] .2%* [08:58] typically when my hard drives muck up, it's been so bad ive had to toss it. does this account for my missing files? [09:03] Can I get support for Xubuntu installation from a live CD in this channel? The major difference is the desktop environment, so the installation procedures should be somewhat paralleled, right? [09:03] Hyperiant, is #xubuntu not sufficient? [09:04] sencha: Everyone is afk [09:04] Hyperiant, well, I suppose you could try :) [09:05] most americans are asleep and uk/europe are just waking, it's typical at this hour [09:05] Hyperiant, what's your question? [09:05] s/waking/working ;) [09:05] My issue is this: I've tried installing to the same laptop with both a live CD and live USB, and each time my install stops working in the middle of installation. It just ceases doing anything but registering my mouse cursor and button clicks. [09:06] It used to let me get to the pre-install part (and I can actually use it in live mode) but now it stops functioning at the "Preparing to Install Xubuntu" screen. [09:07] To be more specific, when I press "continue" it gives me a loading indicator. I've let it sit for about 8 hours contiguously and it hasn't moved from that spot. === ericab is now known as ericab_away [09:07] would bios wake-up-boot be any different to user-presses-button type of boot? [09:08] It's not even a progress bar, it's just the little icon that tells you something is happening in the background. [09:09] Hyperiant, I'm googling to see if there's a way to debug/view the install process and see where it hangs [09:09] Hyperiant, I'm just going to post some links to you if you're interested in viewing them as well [09:09] Hyperiant, https://wiki.ubuntu.com/DebuggingUbiquity [09:09] sencha: It would be great if I could run the install process from command line, that way I could see what the problem is [09:10] Hyperiant, you're running the install from WITHIN a live cd, correct? [09:10] (where you have access to a terminal) [09:10] sencha: At the moment, a live USB; I swapped when I suspected that the CD drive might be the cause of the issues [09:10] sencha: When it was just the CD, it would stop reading from the disc when it hanged [09:11] sencha: When it's the USB, the read light stops flashing [09:11] Hyperiant, look in /var/log/installer [09:11] sencha: On the drive's directory, or within the live mode? [09:12] Hyperiant, when you're in the live session on usb/cd/whatever after you've tried to install and when it hangs [09:12] hey guys! [09:13] Hyperiant, I've never had to debug an ubuntu install yet (they all "just work" for me), but it seems that if there's something happening, it'd be in /var/log/installer [09:13] sencha: I don't think I can access the file manager during installation [09:13] terminal? [09:14] sencha: Ctrl+Alt+T doesn't launch terminal in Xubuntu installs, and I don't know how else to launch it [09:14] Hyperiant, try one of the VTs (control + alt + f2) [09:14] Hyperiant, to switch back to X, use control + alt + f7 [09:17] sencha: Ctrl+Alt+F2 works; what commands should I run? [09:18] Hyperiant, you're on the live session, correct? and the install has hung? [09:18] Hello [09:19] Is there anything obviously I should check if my motd changes aren't taking effect? [09:19] sencha: I chose "install Ubuntu" instead of "try Ubuntu" [09:19] hi [09:19] So, I was installing the newest downloadable release via DVD and when I picked install inside windows 7, it ejected the disc I haven't installed Ubuntu since 9.04. Any help? [09:19] Hyperiant, if so, try `cat /var/log/installer/debug` without the `s [09:19] I've dumped something in motd.tail but it's not showing up when I log in :( [09:19] hey blue49974 [09:19] can u tell me first of all if which audio driver is loaded for the optial s/pdif output for me? http://paste.ubuntu.com/1648815/ [09:20] So I have heard rumors of Ubuntu not being free by the 15.00 release. Makes me belive it because the always free button is gone from the about and downloads page. Also in December you guys changed your Terms of Service . === daniel is now known as Guest54946 [09:21] blue49974: no-one knows about the 13.04 release, let alone the 15 release, so I wouldn't worry about it at this time [09:21] dogmatic69: yeah, was me [09:21] sencha: I'm getting a bunch of data, let me put it in a paste [09:22] Hyperiant, well I'm mostly concerned with the last few lines [09:22] motd help anyone? :) [09:22] pascal`: what about it ? how do you ask for message of the day help ? [09:22] I also had some other concerns about privacy and the amazon features. Is this connected through Ubuntu https servers or how does this work. [09:22] blue49974: you can disable the amazon lense [09:22] blue49974: then you have no concerns [09:23] Oh ok, That sounds good actually [09:23] I was really wondering how [09:23] ikonia, I asked above. I dumped some text in /etc/motd.tail and it isn't showing up when I log in. Only the default stuff is showing up and I can't figure out why. [09:23] !nolense [09:23] Looking for installation help. [09:23] Who here is excited for 13.04? I've heard that it's receieved an major speed upgrade. [09:23] techgekk1985: #ubuntu+1 is the channel for 13.04 discussion [09:23] where can i read about the news in 13.04 ? :) [09:24] sencha: http://paste.ubuntu.com/1648850/ [09:24] gnuru: #ubuntu+1 is the channel for 13.04 discussion [09:24] ikonia: sry [09:24] pascal`: did you regenerate the motd ? [09:24] ikonia: How do I disable the Amazon api [09:24] blue49974: just getting the info for you [09:24] so what about 12.10 questions? ie. mine? :D [09:25] Yeah, what about 12.10? [09:25] techgekk1985: what about it ? [09:25] sencha: I'm also getting a Pango-WARNING and libgnomevfs-WARNING and a GConf-WARNING [09:25] ...please? [09:25] ikonia, No I didn't. I need to do anything extra on a nother server I was working on. It's it regenerated on a new login anyway? [09:25] rigo: sorry, what was your question? [09:25] can u tell me first of all if which audio driver is loaded for the optial s/pdif output for me? http://paste.ubuntu.com/1648815/ [09:25] thisone [09:25] just because i had just the same audio chip in my old htpc and i hadnt no problems with it. [09:26] blue49974: Did you go to this link? http://www.ubuntu.com/ubuntu/why-is-it-free [09:26] pascal`: I didn't think it was new login that regenerated it [09:26] ikonia, *didn't need to. [09:26] and i would like to try out an older driver... [09:26] pascal`: I thought it was either a cron job or a reboot [09:26] rigo: Looks to me like it's using the snd_hda_intel module. [09:26] the popping sound is because of the syncronisation-error. so if i watch a movie and there are loud effects the sound is popping some "electrical noises" [09:27] ikonia, Yeah, I think you're right. Taking a look. [09:27] blue499974: they removed the "Always Free" button cause people already get the point that it is free. [09:27] Hyperiant, those are probably harmless [09:27] blue49974: they removed the "Always Free" button cause people already get the point that it is free. [09:27] Hyperiant, hmm, well we could look at /var/log/installer/syslog [09:27] rigo: If I remember correctly, you need to disable the power saving stuff. [09:27] hello i would like to ask how can i restart the X server as root? So everything that runs under it runs as root? [09:28] running everything as root, sounds like a bad idea. [09:28] sencha: cat /var/log/installer/syslog yields "No such file or directory" [09:28] NaGeL_Work: Why would you want to do that? [09:28] NageL_Work: Did you look on the Ubuntu documentation? It should state how you restart the X server. [09:28] is there a "command" for that? [09:29] sadly i cant try it out since im at work, but i have ssh access to my device. [09:29] rigo: I'd have to google it, it's a bit outside my wheelhouse of immediate knowledge. [09:29] :)) [09:29] i need to d it to change something. the previous guy who was working on the server quit his job and didn't tell the sysadmin password. Now i'm responsible for the servers and ineed t ochange things. for once change the sysadmin password and a few other things [09:30] blue49974: Check out this article: http://www.n00bsonubuntu.net/content/how-to-remove-the-amazon-music-and-video-lens-on-ubuntu-12-10/ [09:31] rigo: I realize this is a blog post, but it might help: http://goo.gl/6gYeg [09:31] !adlens | BLZbubba [09:31] BLZbubba: If you wish not to see "More Suggestions" from places like Amazon in your Ubuntu 12.10, simply remove the package unity-lens-shopping, or adjust your Privacy settings as shown here: http://goo.gl/kFO4u . Mark Shuttleworth's blog entry on this is at http://goo.gl/uF7zZ [09:31] ughh, idiot, sorry [09:31] Hyperiant, I'm actually way in over my head on this one. I googled around a little and you might want to try to reboot into a live session, and then start ubiquity (the installer) in debug mode [09:32] sencha: How would I go about starting it in debug mode? [09:32] Hyperiant, it should be as simple as running `ubiquity -d` in a terminal once you're in the Xfce live session [09:32] ikonia, The problem was that, even though I'm on 12.04, update-motd wasn't installed. It's because I upgraded from 10.04. Weird. Thanks though :). [09:33] ServerSage thats nice thank you! [09:33] Hyperiant, when it hangs, look at the terminal window in which you ran ubiquity -d to see if there are any error messages [09:33] Who's the offiicial moderator for this Ubuntu channel? [09:33] rigo: No problem, glad to help. Just remember to backup any files before you make changes. [09:34] Hyperiant, I'll be asleep by the time you do that, so possibly ask again in here, or wait until #xubuntu livens up :) There is probably a forum for xubuntu as well (or just the ubuntu forums) [09:34] right. === ericab is now known as ericab_away [09:35] Hyperiant, sorry I couldn't help more :( [09:35] sencha: Thanks for getting me as far as you did [09:36] hi, this iptables rule: // iptables -t nat -A PREROUTING -p tcp --dport 80 -j REDIRECT --to-ports 8080 // to redirect 80 to 8080 does not work on my ubuntu. Any clue?! [09:37] but as i read the post it sais, the popping sound comes when starting and stopping the music/sound which is of corse also happening and annoying so the post is gr8 and i can use it BUT [09:37] i have a different problem i think [09:38] hanibana: you need to specify an interface on which to apply the rule; -i ethX [09:39] hi. i cant get devede to work no more, can anyone recommend a programme that converts films ready to be burnt? [09:40] Can this channel help me debug Ubiquity? I'm trying to install Xubuntu and it hangs, keeping me from completing the installation. [09:40] ejv: If this option is omitted, any interface name will match (from iptables man page). [09:40] hanibana: hmm not sure then ;) [09:41] or better question… if i have sudo access.. i can potentially change other users password right? [09:41] ejv: np thanks [09:41] NaGeL_Work: passwd user pass...yes [09:42] Hyperiant: debugging an entire program is kind of outside the scope of support this channel can provide; if you believe you've truly encountered a bug, I suggest you open a new report on Launchpad or see if a similar ticket already exists. [09:42] thank you. [09:42] anyone??? [09:42] !anyone | jonsaint [09:42] jonsaint: A high percentage of the first questions asked in this channel start with "Does anyone/anybody..." Why not ask your next question (the real one) and find out? See also !details, !gq, and !poll. [09:42] actually, !patience is more appropriate for jonsaint [09:43] !patience | jonsaint [09:43] jonsaint: Don't feel ignored and repeat your question quickly; if nobody knows your answer, nobody will answer you. While you wait, try searching https://help.ubuntu.com or http://ubuntuforums.org or http://askubuntu.com/ [09:43] ejv: jonsaint: yeah - just saw the initial question a bit earlier [09:43] if nobody knows your answer, nobody will answer, it's just so... logical ^_^ [09:44] ejv: I don't know much about Launchpad; how would I be able to know whether a ticket about this particular bug has been submitted, and where can I find the entry for it? It's a problem I've had on both a live USB and a live CD. [09:44] somsip, i cant get devede to work no more since updating, keeps crashing [09:45] jonsaint: did you try purging it and reinstalling it? [09:45] Hyperiant: https://bugs.launchpad.net/ubuntu/+bugs [09:46] somsip, i have tried everything. keeps hanging or just closing down. its only been like this since the new release came out. === ubuntu is now known as Guest30626 [09:46] ejv: It's a bug installing Xubuntu; should I enter it in a Xubuntu section? [09:46] jonsaint: any error when run from a terminal? Any other bug reports if it;s a new version? [09:47] Hyperiant: personally, no. :) [09:47] somsip, im a fairly new user to ubuntu, im not very technical with terminal or what to do [09:47] jonsaint: open a terminal, type 'devede' and see if it coughs any useful information back at you [09:47] Hyperiant: the xubuntu launchpad appears less active. File it under Ubuntu, as Ubiquity is a pretty low level program to be malfunctioning; mention you're using Xubuntu, and let *them* triage. [09:48] somsip, it just opens the programme [09:48] ejv: How do I find my problem in a stack of 103671 bugs? >_< [09:48] jonsaint: you said before it was crashing. Is it okay from terminal? [09:48] Hyperiant: by using the search field of course. [09:49] Hyperiant: i would also check here first: https://bugs.launchpad.net/ubuntu/+source/ubiquity [09:49] somsip, so far so good. its converting now which takes forever! last time it stuck at 47% and it locked up my pc [09:50] ejv: What keywords should I use? It's hard to convey exactly what I'm experiencing to a search bar [09:50] jonsaint: so follow the process and se if it gives any useful info when it crashes. What version of devede? How did you install it? [09:50] Hyperiant, install hangs [09:50] Hyperiant, install freezes [09:50] et [09:50] etc* [09:51] Hyperiant: just take a few minutes, try a few combinations such as your hardware, your ubuntu version you're using, your microprocessor version, etc. a few minutes that's all. if you still can't turn up anything, report a new bug. they will re-assign and close the ticket if it's already been reported and redirect you to contribute to it. [09:52] Hyperiant: there's also a tag cloud on the right hand side, that you can use to drill down common bug "themes", good luck :) [09:52] somsip, im not sure what version it is, i got it off the software centre this morning [09:53] jonsaint: if/when it crashes, it's worth looking for bug reports relating to that version. https://bugs.launchpad.net/ubuntu/+source/devede/ [09:55] Hi, I have a full length 88 key MIDI Keyboard (that uses a USB interface)... it doesn't make any sounds by itself - for that it needs a computer. How can I do a basic setup where I can just get it making the sounds of the notes on Linux? [09:56] somsip, cheers for the info. il give it a go but if it fails again, are there other programmes that do the same job? [09:56] ejv: Thanks for the help [09:57] jonsaint: a quick search shows a few I have no personal knowledge of: http://www.cyberciti.biz/tips/linux-dvd-ripper-software.html [09:57] somsip, thanks. [10:05] Hyperbyte: np, happy to help. i suspect you'll get much higher quality help interacting with the ubiquity developers themselves ;) [10:05] so the different problem is ServerSage that i hear popping sound while the movie. so it hears like it would be overloaded or overdriven or whatever... [10:07] ejv, Hyperiant left. ;-) [10:07] that's what i get for disabling joins/parts/quits :) [10:07] sorry Hyperbyte ;) [10:07] No worries. :) [10:08] I was recently given access to an Ubuntu 8.04.4 LTS server, and I asked my new server host to give me root access by typing 'sudo adduser nilli sudo', he reported there were no error messages and in /etc/group I can see the line 'sudo:x:27:nilli'. However, when I try to sudo, it says I'm not in the sudoers file anyway. What did we miss? [10:10] nilli: did you relogin for it to take effect? [10:11] nilli: maybe check visudo if the sudo group is allowed to sudo [10:11] I have logged out with ctrl+d and then relogged with ssh [10:13] oh, maybe I should've been added to a different group? in /etc/group there are also groups called root, sys, adm and staff. Besides my name on the sudo line, no other users have been added to any other groups. [10:14] (those are not the only groups, just the ones most likely to give root access) === pschulz01__ is now known as vk5fpaw [10:17] Anyone have a good howto on ubuntu and ssd's. Like best practices and what not? [10:18] nilli: in /etc/sudoers which should be accessed via the command visudo (for which you need to be root) there should be a line "%sudo All=(All) All" [10:18] with that line commented out, the sudo group has no effect [10:19] okay thanks, I'll ask my host to have a look.

[10:30] ok ejv [10:30] Does Canonical provide any info on how often they provide security updates(e.g Microsofts "patch tuesday") or do they just release an update when a patch is available?

The problem does not happen at _all_ in Windows 7 on the same machine, and I'm definitely using either the 310.xx or 313.xx series there. I've tried googling, but no one else seems to be having this problem. Where is the right place to look into this issue?

So I m asking about that [10:38] dr_willis: how's it going dude [10:38] hi all [10:38] saurabh5647: ahh then rephrase your question! accuracy matters. ask if anyone has tried ubuntu with 3.5 and the ati 4000 chipset ;) [10:39] they appear and disappear as I move the cursor around.

[10:52] haidou, check to see if the theme ships with a readme file; the instructions tend to differ from theme to theme [10:53] anybody knows any open source application that connects to exchange calendar not email on windows ? [10:53] haidou, generally it's a case of moving icon packs to ~/.icons and themes (GTK, Shell, etc) into ~/.themes [10:54] I dont have a .themes folder [10:54] and no read me came with the theme. === MonkeyDu1t is now known as MonkeyDust === lvz is now known as lvx [11:06] i wnat to do :linux-tests/initnandsim 128MiB-2048 [11:06] but it gives me FATAL: Module nandsim not found.

[11:20] tomreyn: laptop display, via LVDS [11:21] xorg reports serial "0" [11:21] MonkeyDust ideally if someone could walk me through how to install the linuxfoundation bootloader that was released a few days ago that would probably help me solve all the issues i am having, as that signs the bootloader into the windows ESP and means it should be A LOT easier [11:22] solveded my problem, gnome-screensaver package was missing :) [11:22] nvm, you can. just use '-' in cryptsetup and pipe it in. :) [11:22] ironhalik: try this: sudo apt-get update && sudo apt-get install read-edid && sudo get-edid | parse-edid [11:22] where's the stuff for pxe in the minimal iso for oneiric ? [11:23] Ohmage i'm not familiar with that bootloader [11:23] it isnt a bootloader per se [11:23] I don't think its in this mini.iso [11:24] MnokeyDust: from how i understand it it is efi. files that can be enrolled through a usb key into the windows bootloader allowing all linux distros to be booted without so much hassle and enable dual boot also [11:25] Hey [11:26] today is the release of 12.04.2?

[11:30] Hi, my broadcom bcm43228 is not working on Ubuntu 12.10. Any ideas? [11:31] Princess was it a windows 8 computer beforehand?? [11:32] Ohmage: yes [11:33] Ohmage: Why? [11:33] well that can be partly the issue, what method did you install ubuntu using and what exact options did you choose [11:34] as i have just installed ubuntu on my new win8 laptop and have just reinstalled win8 clean due to power issues on ubuntu [11:35] also was your machine PREinstalled windows 8 or upgraded to win 8 (is the computer UEFI or BIOS??) [11:36] Ohmage: Preinstalled, then reinstalled using a retail disk. This has nothing to do with boot. Its just the wireless that does not work [11:36] Hi, I need a step by step guide to install a theme on 12.10 ubuntu. I dont have a themes folder. I then created a .themes folder and put the theme in there, but the tweak tool progam can't use it for some reason.

Anyone wanna help me on this? One detail, I find the USB headphones, but it refuses the three presented sample rates for the headphones [11:38] mixxx? [11:38] it's a dj program [11:38] i like mixxx :) [11:39] but i wouldnt call it a "dj" program lol more like a advanced mp3 playlist lol [11:40] Whatever, but I can't get sound to the USB headphones. [11:40] PrincessLuna: see if your wifi card is detected / driver loaded but considered to be kill switched: rfkill list all [11:41] have you tried using jackd or whatever guest [11:41] apparently it is easier also i cant say i would use usb headphones as are more complicated than satandard jack [11:42] PrincessLuna: there seem to be issues with your hardware or its firmware on ubuntu 12.10, though. but there are also workarounds, see the first answer here: http://askubuntu.com/questions/215226/broadcom-bcm43228-802-11a-b-g-n-wireless-adapter-stopped-working-on-update [11:44] anybody know to install extensions for themes?

[11:49] tomreyn: it actually was a support question [11:49] !!anyone know the lastest UEFI BIOS version of lenovo's laptop using for now? one of my friend's laptop can only run ubuntu from disk, [11:49] superear: I am only a bot, please don't think I'm intelligent :) [11:50] Myrtti: which one, silv3r_m00n's? [11:50] is there a better service than dropbox ? because dropbox is not consistent across all the users.. user1 may have 1 gb 2 may have 4 gb etc.. so if 3 gb data is there user 1 wont be able to sync [11:51] c_nick: a server [11:51] Myrtti: the video is about running solaris in a VM on a fedora host, i don't see how that's ubuntu related, unless, maybe, s/he was trying to solve a flash playback issue. [11:52] tomreyn: yup, did you see spots in the video? probably not, but it occurs if you're on html5 tryout and there Is problems with display drivers. [11:52] can't boot cdrom and usb from outside? [11:52] i figured it was a ploy to get more views on a youtube video [11:52] doesn't occur with flash [11:53] Myrtti: i see, I wasn't aware of that, is it a widespread issue? [11:53] is there anybody using hybrid apu/gpu? [11:53] sadly haven't cracked the problem myself yet so I couldn't help him [11:55] hey guys, i have a muxless HP G42, with HD 4200 (APU) and HD 6310 (GPU). I just can't enable the discrete gpu. vgaswitcheroo only works with mux hardware systems, and mine is muxless. [11:56] there is one laptop can't boot ubuntu from cdrom or usb ,no boot options!!!! [11:57] superear: someone else was having this problem on a lenovo [11:57] superear: which model are you using [11:57] this is my problem: i have to use the legacy driver for HD 4200, and the newer driver for HD 6310. But the legacy one isn't compatible with the newer xorg. [11:57] he is my friend [11:57] superear: that wasn't what I asked [11:57] Q: in ubuntuServer I've changed a user to a new group, by typing the command adduser username groupname. When logged as *username and creating a new file I'm getting the wrong group ownership, username:username while I want username:NewGroupName. What am I doing wrong, thanks for looking! [11:58] shwaiil: it creates with your primary groups owner [11:58] shwaiil: type "id" and verify that your primary group is what you expect [11:58] ikonia: tks for looking! is there a way to change that ? [11:58] shwaiil: change what exectly [11:59] ikonia: the primary is username:username same as username. change the primary group [11:59] shwaiil: ok, so when you create a file I'm assuming it's creating it owned by username:username correct ? [11:59] what the model? [11:59] superear: "he's my friend" is not the model [11:59] I would like some help with resizing my LVM partition on ubuntu. I have been searching on Google with no result. [11:59] ikonia: thats truth, i'd like it to respect the last groupName I've changed it to. [11:59] christaras: partition or volume [12:00] shwaiil: please answer my question and I'll get to that [12:00] ikonia: I did answer.. [12:00] shwaiil: when you create a file is it owner by username:username [12:01] I am not an advanced user and so i dont know what you mean. I just need to create a second partition for installing a second os [12:01] ikonia: yes [12:01] do kernel updates come through when apt-get upgrade is done? ... [12:01] shwaiil: ok, so you need to change the users primary group to be something else if you want that as the default file creation owner [12:01] zetheroo: they do [12:01] what you want me to say? [12:01] christaras: ok, so you don't want to put that partition in your ubuntu LVM setup if it's for a second OS [12:02] ikonia: I think I've found it usermod -g username primaryGroup [12:02] ikonia: what if the kernel is coming from a PPA? [12:02] shwaiil: the laptop model number [12:02] shwaiil: correct [12:02] zetheroo: it will still be included, but I VERY strongly advise you not to have a PPA with kernels in it [12:02] ikonia: ok cool tks for looking [12:02] I guess so. [12:02] christaras: ok, so when you do the install of the second OS, it should ask you what you want to do with your disk, at that point you tell it [12:02] i've already tryied makson96's repo, but it didin't worked either [12:02] superear: the laptop model number [12:03] The second os is windows and it is not going to help that way ;) [12:03] christaras: then you don't want to change your LVM settings as windows is not aware of your lvm setup [12:03] of course ,lenovo b490 [12:04] I have allocated all of the available space on the partition for Ubuntu. I dont have any free space for windows to install on [12:04] superear: that wasn't the same model he was having the problem with, although the issue maybe the same, which was basically secure boot [12:04] ikonia: it didn't worked, maybe I should delete the othergorup I've added this user, I'll just google this issue [12:04] shwaiil: hang on [12:04] #ubuntu-br [12:04] shwaiil: you changed the users primary group yes ? [12:04] superear: some of lenovos bios had been locked to only boot microsoft windows [12:05] christaras: make backups, really make backups, and be sure those backups were done sucessfully. and once more. then download the latest gparted live cd and burn it / write it to a USB stick making it bootable, and boot from it. this may allow for doing all of what you need to do, and in an all-graphical process. [12:06] christaras: basically you cannot resize a pv in an lvm setup [12:06] what if there is no option to disable secureboot? [12:06] christaras: you need to migrate data off it [12:06] superear: contact lenovo [12:06] that is correct! thanks [12:07] ikonia: I've actually changed usermod -g group username, and then deleted the primary because I didn't found how to change the primary group for this user [12:07] shwaiil: usermod -G [12:07] shwaiil: why didn't you just ask [12:07] ikonia: now basically I get 1000 in the group ownership for created files [12:07] So i basiccaly have to uninstall ubuntu and re-install? (I am using a bootable enviroment "Parted Magic" to partiton but still...) === randall is now known as Guest54178 [12:08] ikonia: sorry, but I did asked afterwards [12:08] shwaiil: you need to change the primary group, especially now you've deleted it === mpmc|Away is now known as mpmc [12:08] is landscape safe? [12:08] landscape ? the enterprise managment tool ? [12:08] ikonia: yes, the -g didn't worked before, so I just thought about deleting the primary [12:09] shwaiil: -G [12:09] yes [12:09] does it safe? [12:09] christaras: if you have the latest version of parted magic (which is more or less the same as gparted live cd) and it is unable to resize the disk, then, unless you want to try your luck on this complex process manually, a reinstall is the right solution. [12:09] what do you mean is it safe ? [12:09] superear: in what way safe ? [12:09] ikonia: I did -g, now I tested the -G didn't worked, I can just delete this user and start again I guess, seems that -G won't work to change the deleted group [12:10] shwaiil: show me the exact command you are using [12:10] Thank you for helping me ;) i will try it the hard way before giving up.! [12:10] christaras: you can't resize you PV in lvm [12:11] christaras: you need to migrate your data off lvm, remove the lv's, remove the PV, resize it, re-add it then recreate the lv's [12:12] canonical use it to track user's behavior? i guess?sorry for that! [12:12] ikonia: sure, usermod -G group username [12:12] shwaiil: please show me the exact command [12:12] shwaiil: EXACTLY how you rtpe it [12:12] type [12:12] guys, when i try to install the catalyst driver, i get the message "no module named "apport" " [12:12] superear: it's an enterprise estate managment tool [12:13] ikonia: not sure if there's lag, here it goes again sudo usermod -G group username [12:13] shwaiil: oh, is the group called group and the username called username [12:13] Hey all [12:14] ikonia: no, I've just touch file and it's working fine now, the issue was probably the -g not doing -G thanks for your time [12:14] I did say approx 3 times -G [12:15] tomreyn: that's exactly what I was looking for - thanks [12:15] but i feel canonical have someting... idon't know ,weird! [12:15] ikonia: truth, I did tried, the group 1000 was still there, but empty, now there's only the 1001 [12:15] ikonia: you can actually shrink PVs nowadays, as long as it does not have allocated extents after where its new end would be [12:16] ironhalik: you're welcome :) [12:17] Hi, my computer was relatively stable till today. Now I have chrome crashing after few minutes, totem crashing too, my irc client not starting, rtorrent crashing after few minutes, amule-daemon crashing after minutes... What's happenning? [12:17] launchpad is private,right?not open source? [12:18] stu___: check /var/log/syslog [12:18] stu___: check your ram [12:19] tomreyn: already did, I see tons of segfault blabla [12:19] sounds like bad ram [12:19] Ben64: ok, I will check it [12:19] i had almost the exact problems as you, turned out to be a bad stick after a power outage [12:20] well , [12:21] stu___: also try a different kernel image [12:21] why launchpad not opensource? [12:21] tomreyn: k, I will test the ram first, thanks [12:22] superear: launchpad is open source, of course. [12:22] thanks [12:22] superear: see https://dev.launchpad.net/ [12:23] what is the project not opensource of canonical? i forgot the name,please? [12:24] superear: I don't know. === twist is now known as Guest8709 [12:25] sorry to hear that,i will check it out. [12:25] superear: ubuntuone [12:26] oh,thanks. [12:27] superear: thats one of them (server side) at least. i don't know about their landscape stuff etc. [12:28] Has anyone had time to try Steam for Linux yet? [12:28] thank you,my friend.i think landscape is not opensource too. [12:31] guys, for god sake, i'm trying to install fglrx drivers, but i get this error "building for archtecture amd64/ Builting initial module for 3.7.0-7-generic/ ImportError: No module named apport" [12:31] superear: right, landscape is also closed source. there are open source alternatives, though, such as foreman [12:35] YokoBR i'm not familiar with it, but better put a description of the issue and what you have tried so far in one line, then repeat it every 10 minutes or so, until someone enters who can help [12:37] #ELISA [12:38] MonkeyDust, i'm trying to install my AMD driver. The problem is that i have HD 4200 (APU) and HD 6310 (GPU), and i must use the legacy driver, not compatible with xserver 1.13. So i've used marskon96's ppa and downgraded xserver to 1.12. But when i try to install the proprietary driver (binary) or the ppa's one, i get that error "no module named apport", and xserver crashes after rebooting [12:38] YokoBR for a start: careful with PPAs [12:39] MonkeyDust, i have no choice. I need to use the legacy amd driver in quantal... [12:40] i think canonical have some weird relationship with i don't know maybe MI or CIA or....some kind of that,or....just guess!!!! [12:40] superear: Thats not really a support question, can you move the conversation to #ubuntu-offtopic to leave this channel free for support questions [12:41] i can,thanks. [12:42] YokoBR: use the (open source) radeon driver, anything else is likely going to be a mess. [12:43] tomreyn, but still i'll not be using my discrete gpu, right? [12:44] hi there any glftpd users here? [12:45] !ask | funky1 [12:45] funky1: Please don't ask to ask a question, simply ask the question (all on ONE line and in the channel, so that others can read and follow it easily). If anyone knows the answer they will most likely reply. :-) See also !patience [12:46] okey, i want to know how/if i can hide files with a specific extension from being listed in glftpd [12:46] i want to chamge my flash filesystem to yaffs. how should i do this? [12:46] when the linux kernel will reach 4.0? [12:48] YokoBR: you will not be able to switch according to this http://askubuntu.com/questions/202028/does-ubuntu-support-ati-dual-graphics (but this may be out of date now). you should be able to choose which one to use, though (also explained there). === Iota- is now known as No_One [12:53] hi [12:53] how to make a global symbolic directory link [12:53] which works in every directory [12:54] lowrezz: what do you want to accomplish exactly. Can you give an example? [12:54] sure, just not to type the long path every time i want to change to that particular dir [12:55] i want some symbolic which works systemwide [12:55] like cd pics_snowboarding [12:55] lowrezz: instead of typing cd /home/lowrezz/Pictures you can do cd ~/Pictures [12:56] nvidia card why use somekind of intel video driver in ubuntu with default? [12:56] ~/ == /home/username [12:56] IdleOne: no [12:56] i want to define a global symbolic link [12:56] like cd dev goes to /var/www/abc/dev/ [12:57] lowrezz: you could create a symbolic link in a convenient place (like / or ~). For example: ln -s /home/lowrezz/really/deep/dir/pics_snowboarding ~/snowpics. Or you might want to look at CDPATH in bash. [12:57] and so on [12:57] ah ok [12:57] yeah i thought about symbolic links, where do have to copy them to make them systemwide available [12:58] lowrezz: a symlink is like a shortcut, it has a path like any other file... [12:58] lowrezz: in that sense they are always "system-wide available" though it's strange to ask it like that [12:58] yeah but its only available in the dir i create it [12:58] isnt it? [12:59] if i create a symlink in dir a i can not use it in dir b [12:59] lowrezz: cd ~/snowpics will work wherever you are [13:00] jrib: if I understand correctly, they want to create a alias for full path. I don't know how that would be done [13:01] so cd pics == cd ~/Pictures [13:01] for example [13:01] IdleOne: he can do that with CDPATH [13:01] I prefer to just have nice symlinks though :/ === krab is now known as krabador [13:02] IdleOne: uh, actually I guess he can't do exactly what you said with CDPATH (but pretty close). zsh has cd aliases I think but I don't think bash does [13:02] hi people, i've a problem with ahci and ubuntu 12.10 64bit [13:02] exactly [13:02] i want a symlink [13:02] i haven't grub at startup [13:02] lowrezz: ok, so make one [13:03] it boot without ask me nothing [13:03] I think apparix - console-based bookmark tool for fast file system navigation is what you want lowrezz [13:03] I just wondered if running "do-release-upgrade -d" on a 12.10 web-, IRC-, etc.-server is insane or just needs good preparation [13:03] and now i'm not shure of what kernel i'm using after updates [13:03] ToBeFree: not insane if you want to have it break and help with development I guess [13:04] ToBeFree: make sure you backup and be prepared for downtime. === LaserShark|dead is now known as LaserShark [13:04] :-/ [13:04] alias is what i want [13:05] I think the question is which issues would most probably cause a downtime, and how easy it would be to fix those^^ [13:05] ToBeFree: join #ubuntu+1 for questions about 13.04 [13:06] lowrezz: well in bash, you can do something like « alias snowpics='cd /home/blah/blah/pics_of_me_falling_on_snowboard' ». And then you can just type "snowpics" as your command [13:06] virtualbox don't install kernel modules [13:06] exactly [13:06] lowrezz: ok, so do that [13:06] lowrezz: you would put your aliases in ~/.bashrc [13:07] ok [13:07] thanks @IdleOne :-) === LaserShark is now known as LaserShark|dead [13:07] can you help me with grub ubuntu 12.10 in hd with ahci driver? [13:11] thanks anyway [13:11] works now [13:11] YokoBR: you may want to read up on this (although it's not too motivating): https://github.com/Bumblebee-Project/Bumblebee/issues/52 === LaserShark|dead is now known as LaserShark === Iota- is now known as No_One [13:13] !ask | krabador [13:13] krabador: Please don't ask to ask a question, simply ask the question (all on ONE line and in the channel, so that others can read and follow it easily). If anyone knows the answer they will most likely reply. :-) See also !patience [13:13] Hello all. Is there a way I can give the oneiric installer http URL for a local box that has oneiric extracted somewhere ? [13:13] for network install [13:14] tomreyn, it's just for nvidia hybrid laptops [13:14] YokoBR: read it, it discusses amd/amd [13:16] tomreyn, yep, but no success yet [13:17] Hi guys, I'm on a LAN that needs some TLC. When 'automatically detect Proxy Settings' is set, there is no internet connectivity, however when it's set to none, I can break out just fine. They tell me that there is no proxy, but obviously there is.. does anyone know if there's a way that I can see what my Proxy details are when they are 'obtained automatically'? [13:17] I see oneiric has been removed from gb.archive.ubuntu.com, archive.ubuntu.com ? [13:18] do we have any other mirror of it ? [13:18] why same directory and files have different size on two separate harddisks? [13:18] Haris, Oneiric is EOL [13:18] I know that [13:18] regardless, I still have build 3 boxes with it [13:18] Haris: old-releases.ubuntu.com [13:19] Haris, https://help.ubuntu.com/community/EOLUpgrades [13:19] is there a way to mention old-releases.ubuntu.com to the network/pxe started install of oneiric ? [13:19] OerHeks: 11.10 is still supported till april [13:20] i'm having trouble connecting to my network with my wifi device... [13:20] auronandace, i see, then there must be an archive still up ? [13:21] it scans the available networks and asks for the wep key but can't stablish the connection [13:21] eddyloko, is there dhcp setup to issue IPs? [13:22] Haris: http://releases.ubuntu.com/11.10/ [13:22] yes [13:23] eddyloko: Did you supply the correct wep key? [13:24] !wep [13:24] WEP is totally insecure, don't use it, the full Wireless Documentation for Ubuntu can be found at: https://help.ubuntu.com/community/WifiDocs [13:24] auronandace: That is un-necessary. [13:24] auronandace: That is not what he is asking about. [13:25] usr13: i'd say it's still good to mention it for his safety in case he's not aware. [13:25] tomreyn +1 [13:25] tomreyn: You are assuming he is not aware, which could be a faulty assumption. [13:26] usr13: well, now he is aware [13:26] usr13: i'm not, i'm saying there is the possibility he is not aware. [13:26] usr13: better to assume incorrectly and make sure he is aware. [13:26] usr13, yes, i've checked that a lot by now... [13:26] usr13: Now the warning has been given and they can chose to use WEP or not. [13:27] usr13: it's kind of like mentioning that a system someone is running is EOL even though you're happily helping with the immediate issue [13:27] http://old-releases.ubuntu.com/releases/ doesn't have 11.10 === fox_wilson is now known as fwilson [13:28] look guys, there are some that have one or two WiFi devices that only do wep. In that case they have no choice. Now the warning you issue over and over again is over symplistic and a bit overstated in the first place. [13:28] it has multiple others including 11.04 [13:28] Haris: http://releases.ubuntu.com/11.10/ [13:28] How to install LAMP in tasksel? i go to the lamp server click enter, it only stops program [13:28] Haris: because 11.10 isn't end of life, its still supported [13:28] Haris: old-releases doesn't have it because 11.10 is not EOL YET. I was mistaken earlier [13:28] Haris, my bad, 11.10 is not EOL, so you should be able to update [13:28] if there a way to mention an alternate network mirror to pxe/network started install of oneiric ? [13:29] the archive.ubuntu.com and gb.archive.ubuntu.com don't have it :( [13:29] they did before [13:29] the install is not giving me the option to manually specify an alternative mirror [13:29] Haris: Stop using oneiric. [13:29] Haris: any reason it needs to be 11.10? support ends in april, not that far off [13:29] Haris: It's not supported anymore. [13:30] because the guy with the box wants this specific version for their needs [13:30] jpds: it is still supported [13:30] !topic | jpds [13:30] it should be there on archive.ubuntu.com and gb.archive.ubuntu.com untill support ends for it [13:30] jpds: Please read the channel topic whenever you enter, as it contains important information. To view it at any time after joining, simply type /topic [13:30] auronandace: Hello. [13:31] jpds: greetings [13:31] many of us have a deadbolt lock on our front door. It can be defeated by someone that knows hot to pick a lock. You could put about 4 deadbold locks on your front door of different types in hopes that the guy will not have enough knowledge to pick all 4, or will decide to go to the next house because it would take too long in the first place. Now you assume all this in the first place because you believe there is someone coming along with the intention to p [13:32] hey all, i get -bash: start_pipeline: pgrp pipe: Too many files open in system -bash: /usr/bin/sudo: Too many open files in system. after working for a hour or 2. working under kubuntu and have open eclipse ide (android sdk) and gimp.) [13:33] usr13: we understand wep is better than nothing but in the interests of security we are simply reminding people that wep is not very secure compared to wpa [13:33] auronandace: Channel topic is "Ubuntu Support". [13:34] usr13: There is nothing wrong with providing warnings about insecure locks when you are not certain if the user of the locks knows it or not. auronandace was providing support by making sure the user had all the info they may need. [13:34] let me try to rephrase my question: is there way that I can see what my PROXY settings are, which have been acquired by a rougue proxy server on the LAN? [13:34] what is my option ? [13:35] Correction: What are my options [13:35] Whenn i start a libvirt domain i get the following error: "Failed to start domain srvweb1 error: internal error cannot load AppArmor profile " [13:35] I need to install 11.10 on 3 boxes [13:35] anyone seen this before? [13:35] Haris: How did you specify archive.ubuntu.com in your PXE config? === ident is now known as Guest9378 [13:36] IdleOne: The problem is that many people are turned away when answers are supplied that are off thopic or irrelevant and do not really deal with the question they ask. I've found (through experience) that it is much better to stick to the issue at hand. [13:36] IdleOne: I did not. I extracted the "out of the box" netboot files from the server-amd64.iso image [13:36] on the local pxe/tftp [13:36] usr13: The answer supplied was not off topic. This continued discussion is though. [13:36] I used to be able to adjust brightness of my screen. Now I can't. Using 12.04LTS on Samsung NC110. What could have gone wrong? [13:36] The point about WEP has been made, time to get back to Ubuntu support, or at least move the discussion to #ubuntu-offtopic [13:37] Haris: I'm not familiar with PXE, you might try asking in #ubuntu-server [13:37] nihil_2013: could be a graphics driver issue [13:37] nihil_2013, I don't know if it's the same as on my thinkpad, but did you happen to install the proprietary nvidia drivers? [13:38] IdleOne: I was about to say the same thing (via PM), in fact, I already did previously, if you scroll up, you'll see. It was not my intention to create a long drawn out conversation but just to state a point, (a take-it-or-leave-it point). [13:38] Haris: i am trying to understand what makes you think that oneiric packages are no longer on http://archive.ubuntu.com/ubuntu/dists/ [13:38] if so, you should try adding the following line in your device section in xorg.conf: [13:39] Haris: do you want to provide details there? [13:39] Option "RegistryDwords" "EnableBrightnessControl=1" [13:39] usr13: Fine you made your point (wrong as it was). We can drop it now :) [13:39] tomreyn: the installer says 'bad mirror' [13:39] can someone help me with this error -bash: start_pipeline: pgrp pipe: Too many files open in system -bash: /usr/bin/sudo: Too many open files in system. after working for a hour or 2. working under kubuntu and have open eclipse ide (android sdk) and gimp. [13:39] my pc hangs on it [13:39] 'bad archive mirror' [13:41] Haris: i see. well that's not very telling. you could inspect the logs. it could be for many reasons, including FNS issues, expired archve signing keys, routing / proxy issues in your network, whatever. [13:41] tomreyn: I started a network install via pxe for oneiric. It worked just fine for me before. Now its giving me this message [13:41] *DNS [13:41] let me check [13:42] I have INFO and WARNING messages in syslog saying the mirror does not support specified release (oneiric) [13:43] perhaps its a dns issue [13:43] Haris: You mentioned gb.archive.ubuntu.com giving you errors as well, browsing via the web takes me to http://gb.archive.ubuntu.com/ubuntu/dists/oneiric/ [13:43] Haris: Sounds like DNS/proxy. [13:43] yep, I agree. it seems to be a dns issue. syslog says wget: bad address 'archive.ubuntu.com' [13:44] !rude [13:44] ARSEKNOCKER [13:44] DarkAceZ: no bots please [13:44] uh [13:44] it's not mine [13:44] it's a script for xchat [13:45] how to select something in tasksel to install it [ ] [13:45] ok, i'm desperated right now. i've tried to upgrade libstdc++6 manually and crapped my system. how i can fix it? [13:45] tabs and the spacebar? [13:45] george__: why did you try to upgrade it and how? [13:45] hey guys, wich one has better 3D accel support: Mesa/Gallium or fglrx opensource drivers? [13:46] sunchips, tnx space works :) [13:46] YokoBR, funny question. [13:46] wdp, why? [13:46] YokoBR: fglrx is not open source [13:46] auronandace: to install hakuneko, a program that depends on a latter versdion of that package. I've downloaded and tried to upgrade manually from a deb file.

[13:47] IdleOne: please stop it. thank you. [13:48] tomreyn: that is what i was trying to determine was needed :) [13:48] apparently tomreyn didn't know who IdleOne is [13:48] YokoBR, fglrx is as far as i know not open source, which means it's developed by the company who developed the card. Which means the drivers are optimized for the card - and the opensource driver is hence most likely reverse-engineerd (or made by devs in their free time) [13:48] sorry about the noise, folks. [13:48] jockey gives me 3 options: X.Org X server --- amd/ati display driver wrapper from xserver-xorg-video-ati, fglrx(open source) and fglrx-updates (proprietary) [13:48] george__: reinstall ubuntu [13:49] anyone to help me to add optirun option in unity menu? because bumblebee ui is not working for me [13:49] YokoBR, I'd always say the proprietary drivers have better performance than the open source ones, except the prop* ones are very old. [13:49] IdleOne: i see, sorry then. [13:49] aronandace:dpkg says: error processing libstdc++6:i386 (--configure): pckage libstdc++6:i386 4.7.2-2ubuntu1 can't be configured because libstdc++6:amd64 has a different version (4.7.2-21ubuntu2) [13:49] tomreyn: no worries, good looking out. Much appreciated. [13:49] auronandace: is there another way without having to reinstall the whole system? [13:49] YokoBR, there have been some tests at phoronix in 2011, which reported that the prop* drivers were about 10 times faster. [13:50] i have no choice [13:50] george__: did it actually install the deb? === shuduo is now known as shuduo_afk [13:50] how people in irc do this : for example ***think about dog [13:50] ???? [13:50] mvt007geek: /me something [13:51] wdp, i have and hybrid amd/amd laptop. I would need to use the prop. legacy driver for the APU (HD 4200) and the proprietary driver for the GPU (HD 6200). [13:51] * mvt007geek thanks Myrtti [13:51] :D [13:51] auronandace: i don't know! i'not ab advanced user, all i know is that dpkg is complaining from dependencies [13:51] george__: is that when you tried installing the deb you downloaded? [13:52] wdp, also, i can't change to GPU in any way, but the legacy driver... but the legacy driver is not compatible with xserver 1.13... so i'll just cry and wait for AMD to give me an wonderfull driver that may solve my issues.. [13:52] hi all. any idea on how can i update my java and icedtea on my 12.04. the java test fails now, althought it worked at the recent past. [13:52] auronandace: yes, so, some programs stopped running from k menu, so, i've rebooted and know can't even go to graphic mode [13:52] YokoBR, just curious why fglrx is reported as opensource. Wondering if i missed some information about fglrx being opensource Oo I can't help you with ati stuff, though :( [13:53] YokoBR, i'm using nvidia only :( [13:53] wdp, no problem... i'm just opening my heart :( [13:53] I get one INFO message in syslog saysing: **: mirror does not have suite symlinks [13:53] akis: what is "the java test"? [13:53] YokoBR, just form a "good" question and ask in here. Someone will respond :) [13:54] george__: either do a full reinstall or continue asking on this channel, it sounds like you did install it successfully and its causing major problems (which doesn't surprise me at all) [13:54] akis: does `java -version` output something? [13:54] wdp, i've been trying this for months. There's just no way. I'll use mesa drivers.

[13:56] goodwin: sudo apt-get update [13:57] sunchips: http://paste.ubuntu.com/1650968/ [13:58] akis: when ubuntu is released, for the very most of packages, no upgraded versions will be shipped when you install updates. instead, security patches are applied to the versions you already had installed. this ensures your system remains safe and, at the same time, package interdependencies do not break. [13:58] akis: on current ubuntu releases you can have both or (at your choice) one of openjdk6 and openjdk7 installed. if you have both installed, you can use the update-alternatives command to set which one is the default. [13:59] tomreyn, I'm pretty sure its just a browser thing. He might need to go check if he has the java plugin installed. [13:59] http://paste.ubuntu.com/1650983/ [14:00] Ben64: http://paste.ubuntu.com/1650983/ [14:00] anyone know why my computer hangs after a while with the error "Too many open files in system"?

[14:01] sunchips, and 3 used at the moment [14:01] goodwin: apt-get update ? [14:01] gopostal: what have you got open? [14:01] sunchips: akis does have the icedtea browser plugin installed, otherwise he'd get a different message when accessing this web page. [14:02] sunchips, eclipse ide, and gimp [14:02] sunchips, well and some more small docs :) [14:02] k1l_: yes i am doing that. is it going to be very long time? [14:02] Is there any way to change a partition's system ID without booting to a live disc and using fdisk?

[14:03] goodwin: that is to be done to get the latest file list from the servers [14:03] gopostal: Although that looks a very old bug [14:03] akis: it's not clear, though, what you are trying to achieve anyways. [14:03] tomreyn: i am afraid it s a chrome browser's problem. it worked fine under firefox. [14:03] akis: what is the problem you are seeing? [14:04] k1l_: how long does it take? it seems a lot... [14:04] got it [14:04] please people, how to reinstall libstdc++6 without having to reinstall all the wqhole system? [14:04] goodwin: its just the file lists. [14:04] there's nothing wrong with the archive.ubuntu.com, gb.archive.ubuntu.com. It was a dns issue.

[14:04] i think altleast, not 1024 [14:05] hmm ulimit -n says 1024 [14:05] gopostal: yes [14:05] akis: okay, that's probably because the plugin you have is indeed outdated, or because chrome thinks it can be, and has disabled it to protect you. [14:05] could that be the isue? [14:05] gopostal, keep an eye on your ram? `free | grep -B 1 "Mem"` I'm using 4G right now, I'm on 64bit ubuntu though.

[14:07] sunchips, oke i will monitor that for a while, still have 1gb free and have everthing open atm [14:08] iirc, oneiric is not supported by cobbler [14:08] akis: oracle, the company developing this java distribution, has, unfortunately, a bad security track record on java and a bunch of other software they make. for the past couple of updates to the java plugin, whenever they released an update, it was still not fixing the serious bugs which had been reported against the previous version. so it's currently quite difficult to be running a java plugin which is not prone to a gaping security hole. whic [14:08] h is why many recommend to deactivate the plugin, or to only activate it on safe sites where possible. [14:08] the later versions 12.x and above are [14:08] hi, anyone know how i can use preseed to do a prefill instead on certain questions? [14:08] akis: you can inspect and override the setting at chrome://plugins [14:09] for example network configuration. i'd like to prefill most things i can, but still have it prompt to change the actual ip address [14:09] when loading or starting any application the screen freezes in my ubuntu 12.04. what could be the problem [14:09] kde [14:10] akis: i would recommend against it, though, java is currently the best way to infect your (or anyones') computer, and it's alwas been high ranking. [14:10] #ubuntusupport [14:10] tomreyn: . thanks a lot. it is disabled. auto-disabled for security reasons? can i enable it? [14:11] Isn't it just for the browser plugins Java is hazardous? [14:11] akis: i think you can override it, but i forgot how exactly. i wouldn't want to either. [14:11] whats the best tools for 2 way sync like dropbox? [14:11] Quest: you mean owncloud?

[14:23] Ohmage: MatthewL Having only one partition will simplify things, but a separate /home/ is a good thing and you only need to realize that the filesystem that is of interest to the boot loader is / and not /home/ [14:23] the issue is not to do with / [14:23] what is the way for an encrypted RAID10 array?

[15:14] SnapSnap: exactly [15:15] Pici, Thanks :) [15:15] how can i remove codecs from [15:15] ubuntuaddicted: you can do either. Although I think formatting a nice place before is better, because else it'd make another small partition of 100MB which is made for booting info and bitlocker. === XenGi_ is now known as XenGi [15:18] ubuntuaddicted: It's got an integrated partitioner, but when making a partition in there and installing it on there, it makes a partition to store boot info and for bitlocker (lock HDDs so that noone acceses them without your password). Also, don't forget to have a Live CD or USB, as Windows' bootloader overwrites GRUB. [15:18] Can someone help? Trying to mount sd-card with an usb card reader. [15:20] hi all, could someone point me in the right direction with this? when accessing external hdd (timecapsule) - xubuntu 12.04 sees the drive, asks for login/pass, but returns Got error "kFPAuthContinue" from server. Drive is perfectly accessible from other computers [15:20] Pici, worked like a charm. Thanks again [15:20] SnapSnap: great :) [15:20] win 7, format to NTFS before hand or leave partition unallocated? [15:21] I have a machine with suse installed and I want to replace it with ubuntu. It boots fine now, but whenever I try to boot from USB or DVD/CD the drive reads seem to be slow (takes ages to do anything). The media seem to be fine (work in other computers), and when the present OS (suse) is booted, i can read the contents of the drives fine. [15:22] et: the HDD reads? or from the CD? [15:22] cd/usb stick (tried both) [15:23] I wonder if it needs a new driver too. [15:23] I mean, when you boot the cd/usb, the reads from usb/cd are slow? or that the live session reads from you HDD very slow? [15:23] there is no live session, because it takes ages to do anything [15:24] the booting itself is slow? [15:24] yes. [15:24] I basically can't boot. [15:24] So you haven't actually booted once from it? How long did you wait? [15:24] like an hour [15:25] oh, that's very slow indeed. [15:25] do you have new hardware? [15:25] no (2009) [15:25] windows 7, should I leave partition unallocated or format it to NTFS> [15:25] that's not as old as my old pc was... (2004) and that one booted live within 5 minutes. [15:26] no one has installed Win 7? [15:26] Seems to be stuck at reading it somewhere.. Did you check MD5 of the .iso? [15:26] ubuntuaddicted: i already answered you. [15:26] Ririshi: i can boot fine from it on other machines [15:26] Ririshi, i didn't see [15:27] ubuntuaddicted: just scroll up a bit or do a ctrl+f search on your name :D [15:27] et: hmm, so it's not the CD/USB itself. [15:27] Ririshi, ok, i saw your answer now. thanks [15:27] Ririshi, it's going to be partition 2, primary. is that ok? [15:27] hi all, could someone point me in the right direction with this? when accessing external hdd (timecapsule) - xubuntu 12.04 sees the drive, asks for login/pass, but returns Got error "kFPAuthContinue" from server. Drive is perfectly accessible from other computers === vjn_ is now known as vjn [15:28] i'm basically looking for a way to replace a running operating system with ubuntu (at least that's the only way that i see as possible now), but i'm not quite sure how to do it === atrius_away is now known as atrius [15:28] ubuntuaddicted: Well.. I had my 100MB partition (which was made because I didn't have ubuntu or any linux before windows 7) on sda1 and my windows 7 partition itself was on sda2 i believe. I then deleted sda1 and did a grub-update. It just booted fine, directly from sda2. [15:29] Hi, I have a thinkpad twist convertible running Kubuntu. Does anyone know how to set up auto-rotation of the screen when in tablet mode? [15:29] et: I think it is possible to mount a .iso somewhere on the disk using GRUB. [15:30] Ririshi, ok, i have ubuntu installed on sda1 and home is on sda5 I think, in the extended partition. so I shrunk my sda1 and left 20gb for windows 7 as unallocated [15:30] ubuntuaddicted: Will you run win7 in 64 bit? [15:31] Ririshi, yes [15:31] tompkh_: it's basically saying that your login credentials were incorrect there. there could be other reasons, but this is the most likely one. [15:31] Ririshi, why? [15:32] ubuntuaddicted: When installing it in 64 bits, you'd need more than 20GB if you actually want to do something on it. [15:32] tomreyn: thanks, but i checked, and re-checked, and changed the username/pwd like a hundered times, it works on my mac, and still gives me the error on xubuntu [15:32] Because the 20 is for the install itself.. [15:32] tompkh_: caps lock maybe? [15:32] tomreyn: you mentionned other possible reasons? [15:32] tomreyn: nope, made sure of that, nor numlock :-) [15:33] I ve had the numlock problem once xD [15:33] Hello How can I have started a java process on a remote server. Now I want to stop the process. How to do it? [15:33] Hello, I have started a java process on a remote server. Now I want to stop the process. How to do it? [15:34] !spam | subhojit777 [15:34] tompkh_: the other explanations i could come up with are protocol version mismatch between server and client, or broken implementation on either side. the protocol is descirbed here, including the result code you're seeing: https://developer.apple.com/library/mac/documentation/networking/conceptual/afp/AFPSecurity/AFPSecurity.html [15:34] Ririshi, really? i think it's 27 GB. i will shrink home and make a storage directory [15:34] goddamnit. [15:34] ubuntuaddicted: You just said 20 xD [15:34] Ririshi, i was just rounding. lol [15:34] Ririshi, I am not a spam [15:34] i am not a spam [15:34] that's a new one [15:34] subhojit777: you just said it twice. [15:35] I asked it incorrectly before [15:35] you didn't have to copy paste the whole sentence for that.. [15:35] Ririshi, sorry.. [15:35] SolarisBoy: ok, i was able to uninstall libstdc++6. Now, how do i reinstall it? [15:35] tompkh_: i think it boils down to that you should try to use a different client, or a different protocol / network file sharing implementation entirely. [15:36] Hello. [15:36] :p just being strict. Sorry for overreacting. [15:36] Hi d0k3n! [15:36] tomreyn: :-( any suggestions? [15:36] george__: have you cleared the sources which provided it previously? (the broken version) [15:36] damn preseed :/ [15:36] What's being discussed?

[15:37] Anyone here uses Gnome? [15:37] d0k3n, yes [15:38] tompkh_: as far as i know samba works acceptably well cross platform. and maybe NFS would also work on OS X, not sure (but i'd prefer NFS if both would work). [15:38] yourimym1: I just returned to my computer. Your paste looks good, finally. The module was made. [15:38] My unity is kind of sluggish sometimes, reminds me of my vista desktop. [15:38] tomreyn: tnx, will look into it [15:38] Do you notice a big difference using Gnome? [15:38] dual booting windows 7 and ubuntu, problems with an external HDD and ... [15:38] d0k3n, do you have an actual support question [15:38] No. [15:38] d0k3n, unity is GNOME3 [15:38] :O [15:39] but there's one problem i got nouevau back just to get my desktop until i repair this thing [15:39] I really need to read some.

[15:42] jenni-around :there is a thing , the driver see my display as laptop , while am using normal pc [15:42] tompkh_: there's also #MacOSX here, you could check with them whether they have another option or know this issue. [15:42] i have some question i get an error on my loop and i dont no why there is some body can help me ? [15:42] yourimym1: Do you have a file in the directory of /etc/modprobe.d/ which has "nvidia" somewhere in the name? [15:43] Ok so my question is, Is the comparison between gnome classic and unity equivalent to the comparison between windows classic theme and windows aero, in terms of performance? [15:43] d0k3n, that varies, not really a support question at all [15:44] olivier_bK: what do you mean by "and error on my loop", what's a "loop" in this context? [15:44] genii-around: nvidia-graphics-drivers.conf this one [15:44] bazhang, ok. I'm just gonna try it and reach my own conclusion. [15:44] thank you anyway :) [15:44] yourimym1: OK, good. This is the file which will prevent nouveau from loading [15:44] my laptop is really old [15:45] d0k3n, better to try gnome-shell , gnome classic is going away [15:45] ok thank you bro, you are nice [15:45] yourimym1: Does the line of: GRUB_CMDLINE_LINUX="nomodeset" still exist in the file /etc/default/grub ?

[16:14] Ohmage: You can browse and search for Ubuntu packages using !Synaptic, !KPackageKit, !Adept, "apt-cache search ", or online at http://packages.ubuntu.com - Ubuntu has about 30000 packages available, so please *search* for an official package before installing things in awkward ways! [16:14] genii-around: I already ready that. The problem is libvirt overwrites my changes [16:14] vfw: it could be that I don't know what I'm looking at either [16:14] NullVoxPopuli: If sda1 is the EFI boot partition, that is where grub goes. (Look at the info in the URLs that ubutto sent you.) (Look at those URLs and not me, because I am not an EFI expert.)

[16:16] zykotick9, awesome i will check i tout [16:16] sda2 is a mac install partition [16:17] vfw, sda2 is a mac install partition [16:17] NullVoxPopuli: sda1 SHOULD be the EFI partition. [16:17] genii-around: I tried adding it to the libvirt-qemu abstraction, but it doesn't seem to actually be applied :( [16:17] vfw, sda1 is the efi partition [16:17] I don't know why it says sda6 is also one [16:17] zykotick9, aweome [16:18] NullVoxPopuli: Yea, I see that sda2 is listed as the mac os filesystem. [16:18] Ohmage: i don't know who or what "kamal" is, but i wish you luck. more likely, though, what you need is one of: (a) a vendor specific helper package, which you may need to configure for your specific hardware model or (b) a certain kernel parameter to load a module configuration specific to your gardware model [16:18] NullVoxPopuli: Yea, I don't understand about sda6 That doesn't look right at all. [16:18] josePHPagoda: Ah. Unfortunately, I don't know enough about this subject to be of much help. [16:19] no problem [16:19] vfw, do I even need sda6? I just thought it might be easier to have a separate boot partition [16:19] i appreciate the help [16:19] it's just kind of puzzling [16:19] ARGL, damn preseed >,< [16:19] NullVoxPopuli: It shows "Boot sector type: Grub2" in the sda2 section. [16:20] vfw, the EFI only recognizes sda3 and sda2 [16:20] Ohmage: or (3) a manual configuration of your special / multimedia keys, if that's how you are trying to control it. [16:21] NullVoxPopuli: I dono, you'll just have to look at the URLs ubottu sent you, but the bottom line is that grub will have to go in the efi partition (which is apparently sda1) [16:21] zykotick9, i'm gonna checkout 'lastlog' [16:21] can't get static ip setup to work :/ [16:22] I saw 3 tools to manage sysv based services ( chkconfig, update-rc.d, sysv-rc-conf ) and it seems like there could be more.

I'll see what happens. ha [16:24] bloody ubuntu so much work lol [16:24] bogor: i like rcconf (not the same as sysv-rc-conf), but you're aware ubuntu uses upstart right? [16:24] bogor: chkconfig is redhat-style, and i dont think it exists on ubuntu, so this can be ruled out. [16:25] cant believe i fix it! [16:25] i'm out of here [16:25] tomreyn: you can install chkconfig on ubuntu though .. [16:25] so noone here use preseed? [16:25] lcabreza1: which package is it in then?

I am using ubuntu 12.04.1 lts [16:29] im 12.10 [16:29] I can't find a good solution to convert an img to iso [16:30] the ccd2iso doesn't work [16:30] Ohmage: actually i meant bogor, sorry ;) [16:30] bogor: i'm not sure why you'd use a redhat tool on a debian-like system... seems counter intuitive [16:30] lol [16:30] bogor: yes, you most likely don't want chkconfig (nor any of the other utilities you listed) [16:32] bogor what u using mang? [16:32] designbybeck: use the mkisofs -f -r udf -o command [16:32] zykotick9, tomreyn : chkconfig seemed simple for me. I will read on upstart. [16:32] !u > hockry [16:32] hockry, please see my private message [16:32] lcabreza1: that will take the file and convert it?

Therefore, all my IO as root is being seen as "nobody:nogroup". What am I doing wrong? [16:37] Hi, is ubuntu 12.04.2 released? [16:37] lcabreza1: http://www.pasteall.org/39700 [16:37] errr tomreyn http://www.pasteall.org/39700 [16:37] so I'm wondering if resize2fs uses a tmpfs or something of the likes, and if my VM has enough RAMDISK to support it [16:38] designbybeck: tis is a disk image with partitions in it, not a cd-rom image. use kpartx [16:40] http://paste.ubuntu.com/1652290/ === LaserShark is now known as LaserShark|dead [16:40] so kpartx file1.img file1.iso tomreyn [16:41] I'm just trying to try out the Ubermix distro... but they only have the .img (which I find odd) tomreyn [16:41] tomreyn: http://ubermix.org/ [16:41] designbybeck: are you trying it on a virtualbox ? === lvz is now known as lvx [16:43] no lcabreza1 [16:43] just ttrying to convert the img to iso so I can easily burn it to usb or cd/dvd === hatake is now known as cetar-membahana [16:43] designbybeck: this .img is for a USB key, use dd to write it to a usb device... [16:43] designbybeck: you can write what you have on a usb key using dd [16:43] designbybeck:you don't need to convert it ..you can use any dvd burner like brasero [16:44] zykotick9: that is to sketchy of a way to do it in my opinion [16:44] lcabreza1: this wouldn't work [16:44] lcabreza1: it's not designed as a cd image... [16:44] zykotick9: more things that can go wrong if a basic user doesn't know which drive is mounted [16:44] designbybeck: that's the way the install instruction state. this isn't an ubuntu issue! [16:44] ok.. [16:45] designbybeck: then download the OVA and use virtualbox, it's the most convenient way. [16:45] true I 'll drop the convo in here. Thank you for the feed back though guy [16:47] hello fellas [16:47] i want to know about where package is installed [16:48] anyone available to help with a resize2fs crash: http://pastebin.com/S8zFnczg ?? [16:48] bad: from terminal "dpkg -L foo" [16:49] thanx [16:49] Hello [16:49] hey all.. is xinerama still required for dual cards to have multiple monitors? [16:50] how to decrypt any package coding [16:50] kantlivelong: No. [16:50] I am trying to resize a LVM extend a LVM partion for the second time. After resizing the Disk I dont see free space using vgdisplay to extend into? any ideas? [16:50] kantlivelong: if you want to use the 2 monitors as 1 big screen - then probably. [16:50] anyone available to help with a resize2fs crash: http://pastebin.com/S8zFnczg ?? [16:50] If i have windows 8 and windows 7 dual booted on an SSD, can I overwrite the windows 8 partition without problems? [16:50] zykotick9: naw i just want to use 2x nvidia cards for total of 3 monitors [16:51] i know it used to be required [16:51] monst just delete previous one [16:51] bad, there is data in the first extend [16:52] kantlivelong: You'll have 2 Xorg. Sharing apps in two monitor + launching apps in one monitor. [16:52] kantlivelong: nvidia typically uses TwinView (which is there propritary version of xinerama). but you didn't answer my question: do you want them as separate X sessions, or one big one - that you can drag windows between? [16:52] so reduce its size [16:52] zykotick9: one X session w/ 3 monitors for 3 workspaces that i can drag to [16:53] kantlivelong: then you'll want twinview/xinerama [16:53] zykotick9: does it still have major performance hits like it used to? [16:53] kantlivelong: no clue. i didn't know it was a performance hit... [16:53] bad, months ago I added a 30GB to a 100GB drive, then filled it completely. so I just added another 20GB [16:54] zykotick9: i recall performance hits w/ xinerama and games [16:54] how can I reduce the size of a full extended lvm? [16:54] years ago [16:54] monst: lvresize -rl -10G /dev/volgroup/logvol (10g should be how much you want to reduce it by) [16:54] kantlivelong: for multimonitor setups with games, i always used a NULL value in xorg.conf - so when i started a game, it would disable all but one monitor. [16:54] monst: cannot be onlnie when done. unmount. [16:55] lvresize -rl -10G /dev/volgroup/logvol try this monst [16:55] zykotick9: thanks :) i suppose ill test it with a friends card first [16:56] how i decrypt package code [16:56] can you guys explain why I want to reduce the size? [16:56] I am trying to extend, I am so confuzed [16:56] confused rather [16:57] I need a clone a partition which is 500GB and has about 275GB of data. I tried using partimage but I needed somewhere to create a temporary image file - and I don't know if I can just do that on any drive or ....what. [16:58] please tell me how i decrypt package code [16:58] I meant I need to clone a partition; obviously. I've used clonezilla in the past but I have to disconnect all the drives on my computer that aren't source or target - otherwise they can get wiped out [16:58] gmachine_24: trying to "clone" onto the same drive isn't gonna work out well... [16:58] zykotick9, exactly. [16:59] zykotick9, so I need a 3rd drive........ ?? [16:59] bad, what kind of package are you trying to decrypt and do you mean unpack or decrypt [16:59] gmachine_24: well, if you had separate partitions it could work... or ya a different drive [17:00] my biggest drive connected to this computer is only 1GB - and each of those have a 500GB partition. [17:00] I'm sorry, 1TB [17:01] is it possible to decrypt package code [17:01] bad, what the heck are you talking about.??? [17:01] bad what package code do you mean [17:01] if you encrypted it and have a password, then yes. otherwise, probably not. [17:02] i want to decrypt a game code [17:02] bad a crack? [17:02] to understand it properly [17:02] bad, so you want to crack a code. not the place for that. [17:02] !illegal | bad [17:02] bad: piracy discussion and other questionably legal practices are not welcome in the Ubuntu channels. Please take this discussion elsewhere or abstain from it altogether. This includes linking to pirated software, music, and video. Also see !guidelines and !o4o [17:02] i have a question can anyone give me an answe r [17:03] Ez0v3rR1d3, ask and find out [17:03] Ezksjdfklsdjflkjsdkflsdj well I suppose it depends on the question [17:03] gmachine_24, please tab complete [17:03] i got a linux version of video editing but i can get it to open even through my term any ideas what i should ddo [17:04] Ez0v3rR1d3, whats the package name [17:04] bazhang, ok, now I get to ask the silly simple question - what do you mean 'tab complete'? === ke5pcv-away is now known as ke5pcv [17:04] gmachine_24, type three or so letters then hit tab to complete the nick [17:04] cinelerra [17:04] cinelerra is pretty advanced. [17:05] Ez0v3rR1d3, what exactly are you trying to do with cinelerra [17:05] i make movies and i need a good editing program [17:05] bazhang, you're my new hero. thanks. :) [17:05] Ez0v3rR1d3, you should consider openshot [17:05] how to change nickname [17:05] rexwin_ /nick blah [17:06] i dominated AE and now i hate windows and love linux but dont have much to work with yet === rexwin_ is now known as ubuntu-user [17:06] rexwin_, /nick newnick though you will likely need to release that, ask in #freenode [17:06] init command is gone. how to reinstall? [17:06] ubuntu-user, what init command [17:07] ubuntu-user like sudo init 6 ? [17:07] init 0,5,6 was available previously, now they are gone after i installed some packages [17:07] yes, MonkeyDust [17:07] ubuntu-user, you mean runlevels === khoward is now known as poser8 [17:08] yes [17:08] Ez0v3rR1d3: they are testing to make a Lightworks version for Linux - they are in beta I believe. It's a wonderful program and will/should be available ...... 'soon' as they say [17:08] !runlevels | ubuntu-user [17:08] ubuntu-user: In Ubuntu all runlevels except 0,1 and 6 are by default equal. Also keep in mind that Ubuntu now uses !Upstart instead of System V init so there is normally no /etc/inittab. [17:08] hi all :) [17:08] ho sebastein === ke5pcv is now known as ke5pcv-away === sebastein_ is now known as sankar === ke5pcv-away is now known as ke5pcv === sankar is now known as sankars [17:10] Could anyone let me know what folder custom startup commands are stored in? I think that one of them is preventing me from logging into my user account (guest account works), but I don't know how to locate/modify them from the outside [17:10] Ez0v3rR1d3: Am I allowed to say I work with the ArtistX distribution because of its many multimedia tools . . . [17:11] hello, can anyone help me? [17:11] including Cinelerra, etc. [17:11] luisms, ask a question or state you problem, please. don't ask to ask a question.

[17:12] monst: pm me [17:12] how can i put atristx on my linux i need some awesome software [17:13] Thanks, does anybody know if Ubuntu 12.04 LTS runs slower if I'm on the "try" mode with a USB pendrive? [17:13] What file by defautl contains the commands that you enter in the "startup applications" GUI? [17:13] Ez0v3rR1d3: I will send you a private message [17:13] you want a phone system? [17:13] thanks [17:13] luisms: running from USB is going to be SLOW [17:13] luisms they all boot fairly slow but once its up it all runs as if installed [17:13] from my experience neway [17:14] compdoc: artistx is a gnu/linux distro. asterisk is a phone system ;) [17:15] luisms USB is slower than an actual harddrive [17:15] The effects of Unity and all that fancy graphics is ok, but programs take a long time to load and, when I'm using them, they fade black (compiz way of saying they're not responding?). Will this vanish if I actually intall it on my HDD? [17:15] hey can anyone here that knows anything about cluster computing *please* PM me? [17:15] how do i stop the ubuntu installer from trying to touch the partition table? [17:15] fastrack ubuntu server? [17:16] can someone pm me if they have time to help a first week linux user with a few questions? [17:16] jusr ask here [17:16] jusr: just ask your questions in the channel [17:16] jusr, ask [17:16] jusr better ask in the channel, so you won't get bad advice [17:16] ok :( [17:16] im just tired [17:16] uhm, I have 2 computers equal power, 2 higher power [17:16] the installer is stupid and says "the installer needs to commit changes to partition tables" when it doesn't [17:16] what do you think is ideal for the master? [17:16] Why am i having this traceroute? pinging from ping.eu works just fine, but from home it has 96% packet loss. http://pastebin.com/E4WEd1Ua [17:17] aguuu, using the amazon cloud server? [17:17] So my guest account is working, but when I log into my own account, the screen cycles through the NVidia splash and then back to the login screen. I think this might be due to a custom startup command that has "wait 5" in it, but I have no idea how to remove that and test since I can't access the startup apps GUI. Help? [17:18] In Lubuntu, the latest stable release. I removed the powerdown/logoff/hibernate/etc/etc applet. How do I get it back? Cannot find it in the pc or on the servers. Thanks [17:20] Hey guys. I write a lot of bash scripts and python tools for stuff I need to do. I'm setting one up on my machine now that I wrote on another machine / importing it and I was noticing it has a hard config dir of ~/.jetole_config. I'm wondering what's the best spot to move this to a more standard storage location. I see ~/.local/share ~/.config... well I guess those are the only two I am considering but I don't know which one ... [17:20] ... I should use. Is there a standard that defines what each one means and that's how I decide where to store the conf or is it just some programmers follow the method of using one of those dirs while other programmers use the other? Should I just use ~/my_app_name/ ? [17:20] ~/.my_app_name/ is what I meant but that seems more legacy [17:21] jetole: freedesktop.org xdg directories [17:21] jusr: "if" you don't get an answer here, you might want to try the #lubuntu channel (not many people, but they're probably more familiar with lxde/lubuntu)_ [17:21] jrib: thanks. Could you elaborate on that a little? [17:21] jusr: how did you remove them? [17:21] zykotick9: has a point. I don't use lubuntu but curious since you asked [17:21] Alright, I'm using marlin and when I do m501 it shows 63.36 for x steps per mm, I do m92 x57, then m501 and it shows 57.95? [17:22] why doesnt it set itself to what I actually enter [17:22] I am customizing my panel after erasing the whole thing yesterday. Mistakes are fun for learning! Today I accidently removed it. [17:22] oh derp, wrong channel [17:22] jetole: the site seems to be down. But you'll find a standard there about how apps should use directories in a user's home [17:22] jusr: you're biggest mistake was not noting how you removed it but don't worry. We've all done it. Live and learn. That's what mistakes are for === xubuntu is now known as Guest9489 [17:23] jrib: uhm... ok. If the site is down, any chance you know and could possible give me the single line 101 to which dir? [17:23] jetole: I clicked on the panel and then clicked on remove panel items, then clicked on whatever applet it was an removed it by mistake. [17:23] jetole: http://standards.freedesktop.org/basedir-spec/basedir-spec-0.8.html [17:23] Is there any option to dump a verbose log into a text file of what happens when you log in as a user from the login screen? [17:24] jrib: thanks [17:24] jusr: and you don't know which applet to restore? [17:25] MoPacGuest: why? [17:25] jetole: nope =( spent a half hour looking, even tried to download install something that does everything it did except let me logoff. [17:25] Does anybody at all have the ability to answer my question about cluster computing? [17:25] fastrack is it ubuntu server? [17:25] ubuntu desktop [17:25] jrib: There is some serious error going on when I try to login with my own account: it cycles to through the NVidia splash and then back to login. Guest account works, though [17:25] which shouldn't matter based on the question [17:25] jusr: take a look at this: https://help.ubuntu.com/community/Lubuntu/Boot_Install_Login#Revert_power.2BAC8-logout_button_back_to_LXpanel [17:25] MoPacGuest: check ~/.xsession-errors [17:26] jrib: I think maybe it's related to a startup applications command script, but I've had no luck finding where that's stored or modifying it from Guest [17:26] fastrack put details of your issue in one line and repeat it every 10 minutes or so [17:26] jetole: how do you find those references so fast. I am bad at google =( [17:26] MonkeyDust: the startup applications end up in ~/.config/autostart [17:26] sounds like it will work MonkeyDust. [17:26] nope [17:26] MoPacGuest: above was for you [17:26] jrib: Is that within the user's home folder? [17:26] jusr: I'm not. that's how [17:26] MoPacGuest: by "~" I mean the user's home folder [17:27] jetole: Thank you for your help. Live and learn. =) [17:27] jrib: Is there any way to read/modify that from the default guest account, with its limited (no sudo) permissions? [17:28] MoPacGuest: you can read it, but you won't be able to write to it. If you're comfortable on the command-line, hit ctrl-alt-f1 and log in there as your "broken" user. ctrl-alt-f7 gets you back to X [17:29] MoPacGuest: actually when in a Virtual Console, you only need alt+f7 to get back or alt+ARROWKEYS [17:29] jusr: np. The first item on the google search (http://goo.gl/ri5Na) went to http://goo.gl/8rGVj. I did a search on the page for power and found "Revert power/logout button back to LXpanel" which said "Moved to Lubuntu/Boot_Install_Login" which the last part was a link to http://goo.gl/vgqsy. I did another search for power and saw "Revert power/logout button back to LXpanel" in the table of contents which linked to it, which ... [17:29] ... was good since the link uses an anchor so I could use that url from the link to direct you to the specific section of the page. [17:29] jusr: that's how I found it so fast [17:30] jusr: and since I don't use lubuntu, I hope it works because I really don't know if it's the right thing exactly but it does sound like it [17:30] jusr: good luck [17:30] jetole: I opened leafpad, then the first command line and hit enter... [17:31] jetole: Is this the first step? [17:31] that sounds like a good start [17:31] I don't know [17:31] jusr: I think it's telling you which file to open with leafpad [17:32] jetole: how do I logout in command line? [17:32] jusr: exit [17:32] jusr: it looks like leafpad is a text editor. I prefer vim but vim IS NOT!!!! for newbies [17:32] ctrl+d [17:32] or exit [17:32] or logout [17:32] or close it [17:32] jetole: we are learning vim in school. [17:32] they teach vim in school? nice [17:32] hjkl 4 life ;) [17:32] jetole: one other thing, i was told to save that file, as what? [17:32] Mct [17:33] I learned it via live in learn eons ago. well started with vi cause either there was no vim at the time or the author of the book I was reading didn't know [17:33] I assume as that same file [17:33] thats the file your editing [17:33] oh, i screwed up. I got it now. [17:34] tried to leafpad the second command I was supposed to terminal [17:34] cool. Hope it works. Again I don't use lxde so I can only help so far [17:34] how to install a mail server? [17:35] ubuntu-user: sudo apt-get install postfix is one of many ways [17:35] Sorry for the abrupt disconnect. What I press ctrl-alt-F1, whether from within session or login screen, my screen goes black, no prompt, and the system appears dead except for the keyboard backlight === aguadito is now known as Austerity-Sucks [17:35] what about sendmail? [17:35] ubuntu-user: other options I know are: sudo apt-get install exim OR sudo apt-get install sendmail (not recommended) [17:35] ubuntu-user: it's an option but not a good one [17:36] ubuntu-user, good start > https://help.ubuntu.com/12.04/serverguide/email-services.html [17:36] okay [17:36] both postfix and sendmail are MTA right? [17:36] sendmail is old and many people consider it legacy. many people consider it insecure. It's arguable if it's either but I tend not to pick software that it's at least being debated if it's legacy or insecure [17:36] ubuntu-user: yes [17:37] ubuntu-user: what's your problem in more of a whole problem, less technical point of view [17:37] ? [17:37] jetole: I did as the webpage asked. Now I have to figure how to logout and back in with command line. [17:37] i just want to send mail from my machine [17:38] !info ssmtp| ubuntu-user: [17:38] 'ubuntu-user:' is not a valid distribution: extras, hardy, hardy-backports, hardy-proposed, kubuntu-backports, kubuntu-experimental, kubuntu-updates, lucid, lucid-backports, lucid-proposed, medibuntu, oneiric, oneiric-backports, oneiric-proposed, partner, precise, precise-backports, precise-proposed, quantal, quantal-backports, quantal-proposed, raring, raring-backports, raring-proposed, stable, testing, unstable [17:38] !info ssmtp | ubuntu-user: [17:38] ubuntu-user:: ssmtp (source: ssmtp): extremely simple MTA to get mail off the system to a mail hub.

Version 2.64-7 (quantal), package size 43 kB, installed size 8 kB [17:39] ubuntu-user: don't make your machine the MTA to all other mail servers. proxy through gmail or something === Mike is now known as Guest67473 [17:40] ubuntu-user: I have my home machine running sendmail which connects to gmail and sends via my account. You can set your home machine up to do this but I also manage mail servers at work and I know the one thing you can't avoid. Spam lists exist that will block all mail sent from residential / non business accounts. Most ISP's are cooperative in maintaining this and the ones that aren't don't matter anyways since the people ... [17:40] ... who maintain the lists can easily find out [17:41] downgrading to ubuntu 12.04 to install fglrx legacy drivers [17:41] ubuntu-user: that means many mail servers won't accept mail from your machine just because of the IP. Spamhaus PBL is one of the ones I know off the top of my head and if you use spamhaus zen list then it references PBL too. I believe spam eating monkey has one too and I know of one more but can't remember who. [17:43] jetole: no serious mailserver would accept mails from DUN-IPs [17:43] Test1 [17:43] llutz: you mean dial up? [17:44] yes [17:44] I can not figure how to log out as the current user in command line [17:44] jetole: where dialup includes xDSL, cable etc with dyn-ips [17:44] llutz: in 2002 yeah. Today no serious mail server accepts it from residential whether it be DUN, cable, DSL or in one instance I know one of the subnets assigned to my office via metro ethernet is on residential black lists [17:45] jusr: type "exit" [17:45] or CTRL+D [17:45] llutz: you're a little behind. the dynamic aspect is irrelavent and technically it's not just residential either but also business class on non carrier networks [17:46] zykotick9: I am not trying exit the terminal. I am trying to logoff as the user via command line [17:46] llutz: we have a /28 public subnet assigned business class to our office that is on PBL's [17:46] jusr: ctrl+d [17:46] it's the same as logout [17:46] or exit [17:46] jusr: like restart the gui you mean? "sudo service lightdm restart" [17:46] jetole: theres no real difference. [17:47] either way, that users shell ends and whatever shell you were running when you became that user is returned to you [17:47] Pici: I didn't say there was [17:47] i think he means log out of the desktop session [17:47] jetole: whoops, wrong person ;) [17:47] lol [17:48] I am logged in as a standard user, trying to find the terminal command for logging out of the gui so I can log back in [17:48] not sure on that one [17:48] SolarisBoy: right,sry [17:48] jusr: there isn't a standard terminal command for that. You can do it but not clealy. You would have to kill the X PID [17:48] jusr: "sudo service lightdm restart" [17:49] jusr: you could restart lightdm/gdm [17:49] I do not allow this account sudo priveleges. [17:49] jusr: reboot then? [17:49] lol [17:49] zykotick9: was going to try that and will... just trying to learn more commands =) thanks [17:50] jusr: try ctrl+alt+backspace. It's disabled by default in ubuntu now but don't know how it applies to lubuntu [17:50] jusr: better idea [17:50] hmm, this is so much fun, linux. Been free of mcrsft for a week now. [17:51] wNz pm when you have a minute [17:51] run: pidof ps -C Xorg -o pid --no-headers | tr '\n' ' ' | xarg kill -9 [17:51] that kind of looked like mscruft [17:51] jusr: though that may need root [17:51] jusr: yea, this account is allowed no access to root or anything without logging off i think. trying for a secure system [17:52] *xargs [17:52] jusr: whatever your users name is run: pkill -9 user_name [17:52] will just reboot for now. [17:52] seems linux commands have some history in muds. [17:52] jusr: I don't know how secure this sounds if it can't exit the GUI. sounds more like a bug [17:52] o/ I have excrudingly slow wifi..please can you help me. I use the ath9k driver and my wireless wifi is AR928X...Everything was working, but I decided to change rc.local, by adding a line to it. I rebooted twice. There was slow wifi. I removed it and rebooted. The slowness is still there. Could the impact of adding the code to the rc.local, affected anuthing else? I've removed those lines, but still evyerhting is really slow. Code was: iwconfig wlan2 ra [17:52] te 54M [17:52] I played a text based video game for 19 years before trying linux. [17:53] jusr: I guess. I'm not a big gamer. I've had a few I've come across over the years that I liked but for the most part I don't play and kind of just didn't take to mus [17:53] what the best software download video in internet e.g youtube [17:53] jetole: I deleted my logoff applet, need to logout/back in to restore it after the leafpad commands. Was just trying to take the percise route rather than cheat with shut down power on.

[17:54] jusr: wait [17:54] run: pkill -9 "$(id -nu)" [17:55] that should do it [17:55] what the best software download video in internet e.g youtube [17:55] jetole: pkill kills processes, not users [17:55] pkill -9 $(username -nu) [17:55] correct? [17:56] np [17:56] * no [17:56] copy and paste what I did: pkill -9 "$(id -nu)" [17:56] ns-nazri: youtube-dl is nice [17:56] pkill -u $USER if you really want that [17:56] ns-nazri: in general: there is "no-best" ;) === mpmc|Away is now known as mpmc [17:56] or what llutz did but which works 99.9% of the time [17:56] anyone? ;_; [17:56] fidel : i install youtube-dl is not working [17:57] fidel : how can run [17:57] ns-nazri: did you check the "lacking details in explanations" check box? [17:57] jetole: while "pkill -9 "$(id -nu)" never works until you have processes named like your user [17:57] ns-nazri: youtube-dl -t INSERT-YOUTUBE-URL-HERE [17:57] llutz: you're right [17:57] ns-nazri: its a cli-application [17:57] pkill didnt work. === administrator is now known as defunkt [17:58] jusr: llutz is right. run: pkill -9 -u "$(id -nu)" [17:58] Ok, I will ask how do I shut down my pc with LXTerminal [17:58] jusr: I forgot a option [17:58] I am working in a high density wireless environment, is there any way we can tell our linux devices to prefer 5.8Ghz over 2.4Ghz? [17:58] jusr: do you have sudo? [17:58] jusr: without sudo again? [17:58] jusr: without root you press the power button but try what I just updated [17:58] fidel : ok i test [17:58] didnt work [17:58] jusr: I forgot something on the first one I listed [17:59] did it give an error? [17:59] jusr: with sudo one way would be: sudo shutdown -h now [17:59] too late ;) [17:59] fidel: lol. Another one, kind of more 21st century is sudo poweroff [17:59] alt.gr + printscreen + K to hard logout [17:59] jetole: i love shutdown ;) [18:00] I remember the good ol' days of shutdown -r -n now but today I just use the reboot command [18:00] that worked [18:00] fidel: not enough. You're in IRC [18:00] Thank you! [18:00] jusr: which one? [18:00] jetole: but yeah there are several ways ...i know at least some of them and thats enough for me ;) [18:00] jusr: what I said or what llutz said or what fidel said [18:00] does someone know of a decent graphing app? so I could replace a calculator with my computer? [18:00] pkill -9 -u "$(id -nu)" [18:01] ah [18:01] Going to google what all that meant. [18:01] cool [18:01] Unless you can direct my to a very indepth command line resource for linux and LXTerminal? [18:02] malimbar: can you define graphing? [18:02] pkill kills a bunch of processes. -9 is a very hard kill type that the program can't catch and escape out of (forget specifically what the signal means but try man 7 signals if your curious. -u says which user and it can be a UID number or a user name. $() is the proper method of running a command inside another command in bash. We placed quotes around it. id -nu is the command to print your user name [18:02] as in able to make 3d graphs, and solve math problems using them [18:03] malimbar, its a computer :D its what it does [18:03] fidel: I think the term graphing calculator is a standard meaning a specific type of calc that both TI and HP are famous for producing. I remember it vaguely from math forever ago but not sure so don't quote me [18:03] -u to kill a user, -9 is the highest tier kill type? -nu to signify user as me? [18:03] malimbar: random apt-hit is: kalgebra - sounds like a kde-thing [18:04] fidel: does it still integrate with ubuntu though? I don't mind having extra wasteful libraries right now [18:04] jetole: afain there are hp-simulators as well ...but never messed aroundwith them myself [18:04] *afaik* [18:04] * malimbar installing now [18:05] can you explain the "$(id -nu)" [18:05] if you dont mind spending money there are obviously the very powerful mathematics programs, eg mathematica [18:05] jusr: id -nu prints your user name [18:05] jusr: I just ran man 7 signal since I forgot what -9 means. I know I said man 7 signals but I was wrong. It's signal, singular. -9 is the kill number for the kill code SIGKILL. The man page says "The signals SIGKILL and SIGSTOP cannot be caught, blocked, or ignored." meaning the apps you are killing cannot catch them and escape out of them [18:06] jusr: The $() around it inserts the result into the other command. [18:06] jusr: the $() means run this as a command, and the command is "id -nu" which should return the username [18:06] fidel: yeah I don't care about the calc. gcalc is enough for me most the time and when it's not I either use bc or python [18:07] jusr: id -nu is a command, by placing it inside $() it means run this command place the results inside these quotes so the top command we are running, it only sees pkill -9 -u "jusr" [18:07] jusr: run id -nu from a terminal now [18:07] then run id without any quotes [18:07] er I meant without any options [18:07] I'm using Lotus Notes on Precise (12.04.2). Locally everything works fine, but when I start Notes on a remote display through an ssh X11 tunnel, the window soon turns gray as if it is not responding, although everything else works fine. How can I turn that gray “shadow” off? [18:09] Hello I was following a tutorial on a mailserver (iRedMail) and have since removed it as it isn't needed anymore, and removed the users it created doing so. However when I try run apache now I get "apache2: bad user name iredadmin". I tried changing User ${APACHE_RUN_USER} to User www-data as with the group but the error still persists. Does anyone know how to fix this? Thanks in advance [18:09] geryon66: it sounds like one of too things, neither one has a solution. Either your remote display is waiting for the content to be sent. Remote displays take longer. This doesn't sound like the case though. It sounds like lotus notes may just not be designed to work like so [18:10] if ubuntu can be installed on a Nexus 7, a Nexus 10 wouldnt be much of a problem, would it? [18:10] fidel: KAlgebra looks like exactly what I need! thanks. [18:10] hey folks, i added the following to my /etc/fstab but it did not mount the NFS volume upon boot up. However when I logged in and ran 'sudo mount -a' it mounted just fine, any thoughts? 192.168.1.53:/mnt/stor01/zcs-hsm /opt/zimbra/hsm nfs ro 0 0 [18:10] malimbar: good to hear ;) [18:10] jetole: what I took out of that was this. kill whattype user "command designating user" [18:11] jetole: what exactly causes the window fading gray, is it Compiz? [18:11] malimbar: to be honest - i never used it - it was the result of a quick apt-cache search ;) [18:11] jusr: for the most part [18:12] geryon66: it could be. Or it could be lotus. or it could be something else. I would say eliminate all possibilities and worst case scenario, if it won't run over ssh then use vnc [18:12] jetole: command line is exactly like command line in a text based video game [18:12] geryon66: run: grep -riIl "iredadmin" /etc/apache2/ [18:13] jetole: The interesting thing is, it runs just fine, only with that gray overlay on it. [18:13] geryon66: that will tell you which files contain the line the line iredadmin [18:13] anyone, on mounting NFS volumes at boot? [18:13] oops [18:13] dash eee @target bash. You move east three spaces at -9, you bash @target. [18:13] geryon66: wrong person [18:13] AwAk3e: run: grep -riIl "iredadmin" /etc/apache2/ [18:13] AwAk3e: that will tell you which files contain the line the line iredadmin [18:13] jusr: in case you are new to linux and willing to test a lot of stuff without having fear wrecking it - take a look at virtualbox. having a virtual playground really helps at the beginning ;) [18:14] Thats what we are doing in class. [18:14] Can I virtual box a version of linux, in linux? [18:14] I was virtual boxing centos using microshut. [18:14] jusr: yep [18:14] Using a eeepc by the way [18:15] jetole: These two files are found /etc/apache2/conf.d/iredadmin.conf [18:15] /etc/apache2/sites-available/default-ssl, however I'm not using the default-ssl configuration. Is apache2 using iredadmin.conf by default? [18:15] AwAk3e: if it is is /etc/apache2/conf.d/ it will use it [18:15] too much chatter [18:15] AwAk3e: by default, if I'm not mistaken, apache uses everything in conf.d === geoffw8__ is now known as geoffw8_ [18:16] That seems to be the only conf file in there besides roundcubemail.conf which I installed when following the tutorial for iRedMail [18:17] oops [18:17] ping sentabi === mpmc is now known as mpmc|Away [18:17] Can I ask more questions here or should I find a more newbie channel?

[18:19] I know how to use windows to take a disk image of lubuntu and a usb.. so I can boot/install from that usb. What program does the same thing for ubuntu? [18:21] jusr: in case of virtualbox - just use the .iso itself. [18:21] jusr: cat or dd. [18:21] jusr: cat /dev/sdX [18:21] jusr: cat > /dev/sdX [18:22] jhutchins_wk: that does become a slight issue for ubuntu users, as sudo can't deal with the >. thus "sudo -i" followed by command is required... [18:22] jusr: for the record, this pretty much is aa newbie channel [18:23] zykotick9: Can you quote it? [18:23] jusr: and if it wasn't, IRC etiquette says if no one tells you to shut up then keep talking [18:23] jhutchins_wk: i don't think so. sudo doesn't like redirects, thus tee is used for text files... [18:23] started Irc in 96, been afk for 10 years.

[18:31] When is Ubuntu 12.04.2 released? [18:35] Catbuntu: 12.04.1 was kinda a service update for the installer, to improve it, and while other releases have had .2 .3 and .4, 12.04 will probably stay at .1 .... although it is still updated regurlarly [18:35] Hello! Can I create something like shortcut in Ubuntu. It should start terminal with command. [18:35] No. [18:35] 12.04.2 was scheduled for 2013-01-31. [18:35] I think they delayed it until today... [18:36] waheedi: Maybe you want something about rc-sysinit there so it starts after apache/httpd is started [18:36] Catbuntu: where did you see that? [18:36] waheedi: What exactly is not working? [18:36] geryon66: it just keeps restarting [18:36] without telling me anything and i tried running with strace nothing really looks wrong with it [18:36] I don't remember. [18:36] Now I run Terminal and copypaste command, can I automate it? [18:36] Also, there's a daily build for 12.04.2. [18:37] genii-around: i think that's a good idea to start it after apache starts [18:37] waheedi: Does it give any error messages in a log file? [18:37] nothing at all geryon66 [18:37] Catbuntu: sounds bleeding edge to me, daily builds are testing builds and not considered stable [18:37] Catbuntu: the images seem to be up already, probably have the official announcement in a bit: http://releases.ubuntu.com/12.04/ [18:38] Guys? [18:39] Catbuntu: I was wrong, they have uploaded new images today for the 12.04.2 release [18:39] having a bit of issue mirrorring a site; was doing fine with wget, the java app in the page worked totally. started with httrack and now can't get the app to work [18:41] Sazpaimon: of sonicculT fame? === asd123asdqwe is now known as APV [18:41] How would I install ubuntu on an EFI-based machine that has a single drive containing windows? [18:41] geryon66: how can i get any error message from this === god is now known as Guest30045 [18:42] I've read previously that grub2 will format the EFI system partition, wiping out the windows boot manager [18:42] Sazpaimon, does the drive use a gpt partition type? [18:42] compdoc, yes [18:42] Cool! [18:42] Sazpaimon, should work - ubuntu can instal and boot from that [18:42] can someone help me with installing mupen64 plus? [18:42] well the grub will load either ubuntu or windows at your choice [18:42] basically, sda has 3 partitions, a "recovery partition", Im assuming that's MS's reserved partition, an EFI system partition, and the OS partition, and unpartitioned space after that [18:43] Hello. I have an delay in audio when playing videos. Does it exist a setting where I can delay audio in milliseconds? The problem is with all players, vlc, mplayer.. [18:43] Hi. I'm trying to run pbuilder on a machine behind a firewall, so I need to set http_proxy for all processes that start inside pbuilder... where can I set it please? [18:43] if I install ubuntu on that unpartitioned space, will grub2 and the windows boot loader coexist? [18:43] ubuntu will install to the unp. space likely [18:43] no, grub will take over [18:43] windows what? xp, vista, seven? [18:43] 8 [18:43] (more accurately I'm using cowbuilder) [18:43] waheedi: Have you looked in /var/log/upstart/varnish.log* ? [18:44] and remember the system is in EFI mode [18:44] Blinkiz: VLC has a delay function... often with DIVX/XVID the video is encoded in a way that the audio will not line up [18:44] geryon66: yeah but actually it didn't create that file [18:44] fail. no idea about 8, but shat I know of it is it should work. [18:44] GeekSquid, ok, it does not exist a general setting in.. eeh.. pulseaudio or something? [18:44] geryon66: created it manually and it didn't report anything [18:45] !anyone Guest30045 [18:45] I assuming that if grub2 gets installed in the EFI system partition, it will add a chainloader entry to load up bootmgfw.efi [18:45] DuncanT1: for pbuilder you can add: export http_proxy='url' to your ~/.pbuilderrc [18:45] !anyone | Guest30045 [18:45] Guest30045: A high percentage of the first questions asked in this channel start with "Does anyone/anybody..." Why not ask your next question (the real one) and find out? See also !details, !gq, and !poll. [18:45] I use 12.04 (installed 12.04.1), should I reinstall 12.04.2? [18:45] I mean, is a reinstallation need to have the 12.04.2 improvments? [18:45] geryon66: i think service is not recognizing that varnish got started so it keeps firing it [18:45] it new version of precise released? [18:46] Catbuntu: no, the images are really only so there are less updates for people who clean install 12.04, if you already have 12.04.1 you should just update [18:46] trism: I have that set, pypi inside the pbuilder is still trying to connect to pypi.python.org:80 directly :-( [18:46] gotcha [18:46] Cool. [18:46] waheedi: Yes, that service should not fork and exit; it should stay in the foreground for this to work. [18:47] I use Gnome Shell because Unity is a bit slow on 12.04 and a very buggy on 12.10 (on my computer, of course)... Is it a bit improved on 12.04.2? [18:47] so how can i make it working under service geryon66 [18:47] DuncanT1: hmm, not sure then. I know I use that to use apt-cacher-ng with pbuilder without issues [18:48] Ola [18:48] Galera [18:48] Alguem poderia me falar se aqui posso tirar duvidas a respeito de desenvolvimento de software? [18:48] trism: Setting proxy entries in /var/cache/pbuilder/base-xxxx/etc/apt/apt.conf works for apt stuff, but pypi is causing me issues :-( [18:48] waheedi: As I can see from the man page, I guess you should add -F to the command line [18:49] capital F geryon66 [18:49] waheedi: exec varnishd -F -f /usr/local/etc/varnish/default.vcl -s malloc,2G -T 127.0.0.1:2000 -a 0.0.0.0:3000 [18:49] can someone help me get a working offline mirror of a canvasrider track?

[19:28] I would like to save some JS code into a file, what is the best program to do this [19:28] I've tried removing all of my autostart scripts, reverting changes to my xorg.conf, and using the failsafe xorg.conf# [19:28] Ah... [19:28] Behavior is always the same. Any other ideas? [19:28] I can't pastebin it, no DE will load. [19:28] some bug running around, LenRockfoot [19:29] you don't need a gui for that, LenRockfoot [19:29] MoPac: ctrl+alt+f1, login as your user, rm ~/.Xauthority; sudo restart lightdm; ctrl+alt+f7, try to log in again [19:29] trism: Problem: whenever I hit ctrl-alt-f1, my screen goes black, no prompt, no more input appears to have any effect. Have to hard-shutdown with physical button [19:30] trism: But I can get to all of my files by running this same OS from usb [19:30] trism: should I just remove the file ~/.Xauthority and then start the OS? [19:30] MoPac: that would work as well, just check if .Xauthority in your home folder is owned by root, and if so delete it [19:30] Why does the Ubuntu software center show "Buy" for steam and takes me to a site for ubuntu launchpad signon? [19:31] I could not do apt-get update. http://paste.ubuntu.com/1653123/ [19:31] LenRockfoot: you can just look at it and type it up, it should only be a few lines [19:31] Oh, okay. [19:31] LenRockfoot: mostly it just needs: [SeatDefaults] followed by greeter-session=unity-greeter [19:31] MoPac, also look in "cat /var/log/Xorg.0.log" and "dmesg" [19:32] That's what it says. [19:32] LenRockfoot: if that looks okay, make sure unity-greeter is properly installed, and if so then we'll need to look at the logs in /var/log/lightdm/ (lightdm.log first of all) [19:32] trism: Thanks, trying now [19:32] syntroPi: will try next [19:32] (How do you quit vi again?) [19:32] Ya dual boot is sucsess! [19:32] LenRockfoot: though without pastebin it could be difficult to decipher [19:32] LenRockfoot: :q [19:32] Is there a list of games that steam for linux is capable of using? [19:33] trism: Worked! Thanks very much. I was stumped after I noticed there were no error messages in .xsession-errors [19:33] LenRockfoot: if you have internet you could install pastebinit and use that to pastebin [19:33] Hi guys, looking for help there with editing the reg. I'm installing Fl studio using wine, and had no probloms but i need to apply a "windows" reg edit (its a crack) any ideas about how i would go about it? [19:33] MoPac: grub boot menu recovery option === mpmc|Away is now known as mpmc [19:33] ianharp #winehq [19:33] sound [19:33] MoPac: yeah not sure it will make it far enough to get to .xsession-errors since it tries to write to .Xauthority but can't, so bails [19:33] I think that was the problem... It wasn't installed. I'll try it out now,. [19:33] mandoguit: Thanks, but solved by deleting ~/.Xauthority then restarting [19:34] Should I restart or just ctrl+alt+F7 [19:34] LenRockfoot: do you have lightdm or gdm set up at the moment? [19:34] gdm [19:34] hey trism just thought I'd let you know that I exchanged the modem for another one E173 and it worked right away without any necessary hacks, configs =D i've been testing it for about an hour with VPN etc and it's working excellent! [19:35] LenRockfoot: if it is still gdm: sudo stop gdm; sudo dpkg-reconfigure lightdm; sudo start lightdm; [19:35] LenRockfoot: then you should be able to ctrl+alt+f7 and try it out [19:35] joshu: excellent! [19:35] sudo service gdm stop [19:35] is it possible to attach monitor after boot? i currently can control my ubuntu server with ssh but i would like to attach monitor to it without booting. is that possible? currently monitor does not show anything [19:35] trism thanks again for helping me out! [19:36] trism I learnt some useful things so it wasn't a complete waste ;) [19:36] syntroPi: not really necessary, that's just a script that checks if the service uses upstart and then uses initctl otherwise runs the sysv script...since gdm uses upstart, stop works [19:36] Second problem: I can't seem to mount a gigolo-gvfs directory in my /home folder in any way that programs can find. I want CrashPlan to back up to and from a file on a share (can be smb or FTP, FTP at the moment). But it can't see my /var/run.../gvfs folder or any symbolic links [19:36] I'm using Nemo in case that matters [19:36] gvfs-fuse is running [19:36] trism, oh didnt know that [19:36] but there's nothing in ~/.gvfs [19:37] I tried to ctrl+alt+F7 but black screen, I'll reboot. [19:37] LenRockfoot: yeah it might show up on f8 or higher depending if it can grab the vt or not [19:37] anyone help why I could not do apt-get update? http://paste.ubuntu.com/1653123/ [19:38] Didn't show at all.

[20:10] right click on them, choose open with, set defaut to wine [20:10] I cant set default to wine [20:10] its not on the lsit [20:10] list [20:11] I wouldnt be asking in here if it were that easy [20:11] check the properties tab, and you would be surprised how easy things are sometimes.

[20:15] its process' PID [20:15] GermainZ_: what does it mean to "open a window"? [20:16] woozly: you want sendmail specifically? [20:16] I minimized something to the tray but the icon didn't show up. Running ps -A | grep process shows the PID. I was wondering if I can force open its window using the terminal [20:16] GermainZ_: maybe with wmctrl [20:16] jrib: I just can't understand what I need? I just create new linode server. Ubuntu 12. And just apt-get install sendmail [20:16] but when I try to send mail.. it freezes [20:17] woozly: well why do you want sendmail? [20:17] I need to set domain? or what [20:17] for php [20:17] python [20:17] and others [20:17] woozly: https://help.ubuntu.com/12.10/serverguide/email-services.html I use exim personally [20:17] hey guys, i am running 10.04 lts. with the current maximum updateable version of php being 5.3.2.

[20:18] jrib: is that safe ? === dniMretsaM_away is now known as dniMretsaM [20:19] jrib: okay.. thanks [20:19] Inspiral: well I wouldn't advise compiling php yourself unless you want to manage security upgrades yourself afterwards [20:19] wmctrl didn't help, thanks for the suggestion tho. [20:19] GermainZ_: what happened when you tried? [20:20] if i wanted to upgrade to 12..04 am i likely to have some problems ? [20:20] It doesn't show non active/minimized windows. Tried the -i switch and used the PID, got an error. === user____ is now known as Yak [20:20] Inspiral: Upgrading will update a ton of software on your machine.

How can that happen ? === fisted_ is now known as fisted [20:25] I take it scorch is now Atomic Cannon - but I wonder why it never made it to linux? [20:25] PhreakIT, make and model on the laptop and which version of Ubuntu are you using ? [20:30] drmagoo: Dell Vostro 1450. Ubuntu 12.4 [20:30] Sorry for taking one more crack at this here today, but - is there a way to determine why gvfs-fuse is not placing links to my gvfs directories in ~/.gvfs, or a way to change the mount point altogether? [20:30] PhreakIT, how old is it ? [20:30] PhreakIT, maybe the percentage is based on voltage measurements of the battery (which could drop when psu disconnects). but idk how that is done in hw exactly... [20:30] drmagoo: Not even an year. [20:31] Well, If it let it charge by 100%. Close the lid. Open it again, it work normal the way it should. Confusing right? [20:31] PhreakIT, had a look at the hardware specs... The battery-monitor should report the correct value. Have you used it on battery any longer period ? [20:32] drmagoo: I always let it drain up to 20% before I start charging again. When it reaches up 100%, I remove the power cord. [20:33] PhreakIT, how long time does it take to reach 20% and did you use it for anything special during that time ? [20:35] hi [20:35] drmagoo: Nope. Normal use. Nothing different. Just normal usage. Even when I close the lid and let it discharge from 100% the way it should, it still the normal usage. === LaserShark is now known as ForgotToJoin === ForgotToJoin is now known as IFail === IFail is now known as LaserShark [20:35] I don't think I'm doing anything different that will drain from 100% to 58% in a matter of 5 seconds tops. [20:36] i have a newbie question, is that normal that http://www.ubuntu.com/download/desktop/thank-you?release=lts&bits=64&distro=desktop&status=zeroc gives me the amd64 even if I use intel? [20:36] xd [20:36] just installed Ubuntu Server 12.04 - is fdisk still the best solution for setting u p partitions? [20:36] PhreakIT, but how long does it take for it to go from 58& to 20% [20:37] Delux: fdisk is fine, especially if you already know how to use it. [20:37] there's also cfdisk, and all the graphical ones [20:37] thanks [20:38] drmagoo: about 1hr 25 mins. [20:40] timoguin: Delux Isn't parted recommended now? [20:40] that's why i asked [20:40] PhreakIT, you dont have a diffrent battery to test with ? 38% for 1hr 25 min sounds about right. Might be an issues with the battery? [20:40] loxiw: amd64 is not about intel vs. amd - 64bit products are often named amd64 [20:41] drmagoo: Charge to 100%. Close the lid. Open again. Its drains normally from 100% within about 3 hours. Not a battery problem right ? [20:42] PhreakIT, if you leave the lid open, the battery % is reported as normal? It only drops if you first close the lid ? === mb is now known as Guest70472 [20:44] drmagoo: Charge 100%. Remove the cord. It drops to 58% instantly and drains from there. Charge to 100%. Close the lid and open again, it starts to drain from 100% just like it should. [20:45] quit [20:45] PhreakIT: Sounds like a broken battery :) [20:45] PhreakIT, That sounds really odd... ;) Im out of ideas then... === predator217 is now known as predator117 [20:48] guys pls [20:48] ubuntu desktop 64bits is only for amd? [20:48] no [20:49] loxiw: guntbert already answered you. no. AMD64 refers to the name of the specification for 64 bit computers. It will run on any 64bit desktop machine be it intel or AMD [20:49] loxiw: the intel dual core processors are based on the amd64 architecture [20:49] oh sry pici, didnt read you [20:49] thx [20:49] thx u too timoguin [20:49] so a i5 wont have any trouble right?

[21:03] heeh [21:03] so I have patched libapache2-svn for an internal project. I'd like to distribute a binary deb internally. How do I tweak the debian/ metadata to distinguish my version from the repo version but still let it satisfy dependencies? [21:03] ok ejv: any good at html and javascript? [21:03] ntzrmtthihu777: that's outside the scope of #ubuntu support ;) [21:04] ;) well I'm doing it on an ubuntu machine [21:04] rndm: I increment the version and append ~jrib1 [21:04] * ntzrmtthihu777 lols [21:04] ntzrmtthihu777: im sure there are channels on freenode which cater to web programming [21:05] s/programming/scripting/ [21:05] ddk [21:05] jrib: i'll try that. [21:05] will that cause a problem with things that depend on this? [21:05] (if any) [21:05] can you do a check on the server for channels? [21:06] ntzrmtthihu777: /list does it for me, be ready for a massive flood of data; might be better to google search or try #web #html #foobar etc. [21:06] rndm: if there's a new version released from ubuntu though, it will take precedence over your package. So you may want to look into pinning and you definitely want to make sure you repatch the new version (in case the new version has security updates). Basically, you become responsible for making sure your package is kept maintained. What did you patch by the way? Is it something you could contribute [21:06] back? [21:07] in gentoo land it's called an overlay, in ubuntu land... i have no idea. [21:08] true, shooting in da dark, eh ejv? [21:08] it's a hack that's specific to us (it determines the svn dav path based on hostname) [21:08] err the svn fs path [21:08] ntzrmtthihu777: try /msg alis list *foo* [21:08] but we auto-update these machines [21:08] ntzrmtthihu777: # format is pretty much a $STANDARD here on Freenode.

"lsmod | grep fglrx" [21:51] ok i see [21:51] lsmod | grep fglrx [21:51] yes [21:51] it gives me nothing [21:51] just goes to the next line [21:52] ok, so it appears that the fglrx driver isn't loaded [21:52] oh [21:52] go back to the software sources drivers tab and tell me what the options are [21:53] ok [21:53] Hey! (Again.) [21:53] ubuntu softawre, othersoftwares, updates, authen, addi drivers [21:53] does anyone mind telling me why this init.d script isn't killing the process on service stop?

[22:01] current "x.org opensource " driver [22:01] is selected [22:01] I have tried all 3 of them [22:01] even the post release updates?

[22:02] I dont know how to install AMD's latest 13.1 driver [22:03] it can be difficult if you've never done it before [22:03] I read some guide and stuff but no progress [22:03] its just to difficult [22:04] what card do you have? [22:04] i did 'sudo shutdown now' via ssh onm the prompt, got the message that systm is going down for maintenance NOW. my sssh session wont respond now, and the computer is still on. what do i do [22:04] AMD HD 6870 (XFX branding) === Taz|Home is now known as Tazen [22:05] azizLIGHTS: does that command work when executed localy? [22:06] hi, after following this howto (https://wiki.ubuntu.com/Valve#Installation_on_12.10_.28Quantal.29_64_bit), dash has trouble to start (there is only desktop, no close / minimize buttons) [22:06] maybe something is wrong with your acpi and it cant shut it off properly [22:07] mgolisch: well i have no monitor, i have to ssh [22:07] its headless [22:08] it used to work before, then i put the machine into storage, came back 3 years later, and tried to shut it down and now it seems stuck. the machine is in front of my physically, the cdrom still opens [22:09] what should i expect if i hold down the power button [22:09] and force shut [22:09] reisub [22:10] azizLIGHTS, http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Magic_SysRq_key [22:10] How od I copy a folder to a folder that says "permission denied"? [22:11] What's goiong on. Quick question, I need to install Win8, but I can't seem to format my HDD from EXt4 to NTFS. How can I go about doing this? [22:11] LenRockfoot, escalate perms [22:11] I... How? [22:12] eg "sudo su" and cp chmod chown [22:12] Tried Disk utility, but can't format the disk that I'm using. Connected the drive as an external on my laptop but windows didn't recognize the HDD at all [22:12] queenabc: why dont you just use the installer? [22:13] at least the one in previous version was able to delete/create partitions or format them with a new filesystem [22:13] Did, but when it came time to select the drive I wanted as my boot drive, the avil HDD was not formatted to NTFS [22:13] Tried using the format option i the boot but was not highlightable [22:13] So now I'm trying to format the drive internally [22:14] queenabc: is there anything on it you still need? [22:14] syntroPi: Why would I try copying files? [22:14] Nope [22:14] Is it just Ubuntu desktop that has the Shoping / Amazon stuff? Or does say Xubuntu and Ubuntu Server have things like that in there also? [22:14] Backed up (only used this temporarily so nothing much) [22:15] Not understanding the question. I installed the OS thru a LiveCD (Ubuntu 12.04 [22:15] you could just overwrite the device file with some megabytes of /dev/urandom or /dev/zero [22:15] that should clear out the partition table [22:15] Overwrite it from where though? [22:15] in LXTerminal, how do I do a full fat32 format? [22:15] queenabc: from within ubuntu? [22:16] yes [22:16] ` [22:16] Went to disk utility and tried formatting the drive, but can't format an actie drive, so that was pointless [22:17] is there only one disk connected? [22:17] tried using the HDD exernally on laptop, but laptop (running win7home) couldnt read drive [22:17] yes [22:17] i have another external and a mini HDD that i could connect if I need to. but how would thhis get me to format the 1tb HDD [22:18] then you could try something like sudo dd if=/dev/zero of=/dev/sda bs=1M count=10 or so be sure that /dev/sda is actualy the correct disk device if theres more than one connected [22:18] not that you kill something else unintended [22:18] I just built the PC, I can assure it's the only drive connected [22:18] like a usb key or usb disk or such [22:19] so run "sudo dd"? [22:19] Hello! [22:19] ermm. why are you wiping 10 MB ? [22:20] queenabc, you want to purge your drive clean from previous ubuntu installation to instal win8 on it? [22:20] How do I copy a directory to a folder I don't have permissions to copy to? I am the admin, but don't want to use root. [22:20] yes, sir [22:20] installing win 8, aka "downgrading" :) [22:20] * ejv ducks [22:20] it might not work if its gpt i think they save the partiton map on different possitions [22:20] if in doubt bott that thing from a gparted livecd and do it that way [22:21] Yeah I want win8 on my pc, and ill use linux on my laptop (just to get used to it, new at it) [22:21] so bot it using any Livecd? [22:21] queenabc, either you use the win8 installer to delete partition table or you boot from livecd and write with dd from /dev/zero to your /dev/sda or similar [22:21] i have the ubutnu 12.04 and hiren's recovery livecds.. any these would work?? [22:22] syntroPi: that second part is where you're losing me. sorry. [22:22] :) [22:22] the dd "converts and copies files" is this really what I'm looking for [22:22] queenabc: /dev/zero is blank. [22:22] So, if you copy to an entire drive... [22:22] blank by default? or am I making it blank [22:23] ohhhhhh [22:23] by default [22:23] Get it, queenabc? ;-) [22:23] unrelated question: how do I stop these alerts from people joing.leaving the channel? [22:23] That depends on the client. [22:23] I just learned to grep a dd made image, can find deleted files thattaway [22:23] queenabc, you cant delete the disk you are running ubuntu from: so boot from a liceCD instead. then you open a terminal and "sudo dd if=/dev/zero of=/dev/sda bs=1M" to write zeroes to your first hdd (sda) [22:24] syntroPi: why not? [22:24] cleariung the partition map should be sufficient [22:24] when can i use this command " apropos remove "? [22:24] and iam quite sure that this works [22:24] syntroPi: any liveCD? [22:24] rm -r --no-preserve-root / will do it lol [22:24] mgolisch: Ubuntu won't let you blank a mounted drive. [22:24] DaemonicApathy: realy? [22:25] mgolisch: In my experience, yes. [22:25] Apparently so. Tried. but probably tried incorrectly ofc [22:25] iam quite sure that dd doenst care for that [22:25] *shrug* [22:25] yeah gparted probably wont do it because its smart [22:25] mgolisch, hmm maybe the first bytes (MBR, partition table)... but any further it will fail with fun :) [22:25] ntzrmtthihu777: ?? [22:25] he doenst need the os anyhow so thats not a problem [22:25] Noorideen: ??? what? [22:26] queenabc: or just download gparted livecd and do it from that [22:26] its graphical [22:26] okay thanks [22:26] * syntroPi would like to see the error messages from that [22:26] ntzrmtthihu777: nothing sorry. [22:26] anyone know how to set up hostapd? [22:26] brb [22:26] queenabc, yes ans linux liveCD should work [22:27] whats the difference between php and python? [22:27] mgolisch, idk if its a GPT if wiping only the first MegaBytes would work? [22:28] syntroPi: so run a live cd, enter the terminal and run those commands you mentioned? [22:28] guys powershell is like terminal? [22:28] Windows verison of terminal, slightly different command [22:29] command syntax* [22:29] queenabc: thank you i am new to programming, i am studying python atm [22:29] syntroPi: probably not [22:29] queenabc: can you tell me whats "apropos remove"? please [22:30] Noorideen: I went down that road last year. python is nice. i haven't competed because thingsgot int he way but it's a good start apparently [22:30] queenabc, if your disk ist the first hdd (/dev/hda): yes. also you can use GParted GUI program from http://partedmagic.com/doku.php?id=downloads [22:30] Noorideen: can't sorry. didn't finish the course [22:30] wot port does ububtu desktop sharing use? or do i need to port forward it? [22:30] syntroPi: this part always gets me. do i burn the iso as a file or the contents [22:30] queenabc: good luck, and thank you! [22:31] Noorideen: I was using Learn Python the Hard way, if that helps you at all. google pdfs if you need to [22:31] queenabc: you select the proper option to create a cd from an iso image [22:31] queenabc: thats what i am reading atm :) [22:31] queenabc, an iso image is an "image" from a cd, so a container which contains the cd contents. use a cd burning program to burn image and not only copy that file to cd [22:31] queenabc: i am learning about powershell before python. [22:32] did the same Noorideen [22:33] syntroPi: buring the contents of the iso onto the disc. if it doesnt boot properallu ill go back and redo it the other way. [22:33] How would I output say the results of an "ls" into a text widget in gtkdialog? [22:33] queenabc: thats not how to do it [22:33] once i boot from it, will it give me the option to format the drive? [22:33] queenabc: you need to burn the image as an image [22:34] did not give me that option. will re do it now [22:34] queenabc, use cd burning program and tell it to burn iso image to cd. dont extract it before or such [22:34] is it possible to control overscan in ubuntu? how do I launch the screen config from cmd line? [22:34] i don't know what program you're using, but i think every one has an option to burn an image [22:34] hey i cant get my headphones to play sound on my macbook with 12.04. anyone have a solution? [22:34] queenabc, then it should write a bootloader to your cd so you can boot from it [22:35] alright, re did it and it's currently burning it. thanks [22:35] I'm trying to set up my server as a hotspot but the tutorial doesn't say if I have to create hostapd-minimal.conf cause I searched for the file [22:35] and can't find it [22:35] its the gparted livecd [22:35] how would I go about converting the installation ISO to a UEFI bootable USB stick? [22:36] make sure the usb is bootable I presume. [22:36] Sazpaimon, http://www.pendrivelinux.com/universal-usb-installer-easy-as-1-2-3/ [22:36] i did it a while ago and had to make the drive compatble with the boot fle first, otherwise he boot menu wouldnt read the thing [22:36] myname_, does this apply for UEFI? [22:37] remember UEFI doesn't work the same as BIOS [22:37] syntroPi: when i boot from the cd, I'm running those commands you told me? [22:37] queenabc, either those or you just use the installed GParted partition editor from the "start" menu in the GUI [22:37] Sazpaimon, sry idk much about the difference between EFI and UEFI. What r u tryin to do? [22:38] myname_, UEFI and EFI are used interchangably [22:38] queenabc, maybe you need to "startx" to launch gui. not sure [22:38] UEFI is just a newer version of EFI and it's available on most motherboards [22:38] syntroPi: okay thanks. so either i run the commands "sudo dd if=/dev/zero of=/dev/sda bs=1M" or look for the gui with the partition editor [22:39] Sazpaimon, then i think yes it will work. [22:39] queenabc: are you trying to erase your drive? [22:39] can i post a pastebin link? it of the commands i am supposed to run, i want to make sure the syntax is right [22:39] Ben64: yes [22:40] the boot drive needs to be formatted from ext4 to ntfs [22:40] queenabc, just to make sure you understand correctly: you will wipe all data from your disk that way... so its gone after you do this !!! [22:40] queenabc: ok... well make sure sda is the one you want to kill [22:40] syntroPi: it [22:40] myname_, for the windows USB installer it's just as easy as just copying the contents of the ISO to a fat32 formatted USB stick= [22:40] queenabc: you don't need to use dd to format a drive to ntfs [22:40] syntroPi: it's a new drive, nothing on it so now worries =D [22:40] since the windows ISO contains the EFI directory and the proper files to boot [22:40] Ben64: what,.... [22:40] queenabc: you can just format it... [22:41] queenabc, ok fine just wanted to make sure [22:41] from where... can't do it while i'm in the disk [22:41] how are you in it? you said it was blank [22:41] Blank as in no files i need to back up [22:41] Hi! Big problem, little time: My ~/.Xauthority disappeared during an update; how do I restore it? [22:41] Sazpaimon, easier. you just select the iso (or even download thro the installer, tho ive never done that) and the disk you want to write to. sometimes it messes up and you gotta do it a couple times. [22:41] i need to format it to ntfs [22:42] syntroPi: like this? http://pastebin.com/y24UCGX4 [22:42] i added third-party and property repositories but still i can't find 'steam' package on ubuntu 12.04 x64 ? [22:42] queenabc: oh ok, well you can do that with gparted, without using dd at all, that just will waste time [22:42] myname_, the WUBI page says that it isnt compatible with UEFI [22:42] yeah i just created a live disk of that. [22:42] matte rof fact ill just run it now [22:42] THANKS EVERYONE [22:42] Never mind, spotted it [22:43] keep in mind all this talk about making the USB stick bootable and stuff doesn't apply to uefi [22:43] uefi doesnt have any such thing as MBR and bootable partitions [22:43] or at least, not the same way as bios does [22:43] What is the fastest command to find a file on the filesys? [22:44] Deeply* [22:44] Sazpaimon, well when i take usb i created thro the installer i am able to boot it on my mac which and when i do it shows up as EFI. i really dont know tho. give it a try its a free app [22:45] also, I think there may be a bug on the ubuntu site [22:45] SrPx: try "locate" [22:46] but that only works if you update its db regularly [22:46] selecting 12.10 64 bit from http://www.ubuntu.com/download/desktop takes me to http://www.ubuntu.com/download/desktop/questions?distro=desktop&bits=64&release=latest and clicking the "Not now, take me to the download" link takes me to the a page that downloads 32 bit LTS === lundy is now known as LundyBITES [22:46] can anyone else replicate this? === LundyBITES is now known as LundyByte [22:46] SrPx, "find /path/to/searchdir -type f -name '*filename*'" [22:47] Sazpaimon: nope downloads the 64bit here [22:47] strange [22:47] it even happens to me in incognito so I know it isn't any extensions [22:48] is anybody using ubuntu with HDMI->DVI connector? [22:48] Sazpaimon: Downloads the 64 bit here as well [22:49] Sazpaimon, nope it downs the x64 [22:49] wait it does work in incognito [22:49] ok I figured it out, I had noscript blocking yahooapis.com [22:49] carry on, nothing to see here [22:49] Sazpaimon, yes incognito here too [22:50] Dave77, HDMI -> HDMI with nvidia even works with sound here [22:50] Dave77 DVI should be same without sound [22:50] what is the application called to configure the screen in ubuntu/linux called? trying to see if ubuntu has overscan controls [22:51] Dave77 if nvidia then try "nvidia-settings" [22:51] I got ATI.. [22:52] hmm maybe there is similar program there idk [22:52] syntroPi: why is the resoluton set to microscopic ant letters? i cant read S*^@ [22:52] xrandr, resapplet ... [22:52] I tried choosing a diff resoluion but nothing changes [22:52] using the GUI for gparted [22:54] does anyone have the gparted livecd gui setup memorized? and can just walk me thru "click this symbol, that symbol, etc"" dont get why the res won't change [22:55] queenabc, ah maybe thats because of QT reading the resolution of your screen from edid interface: try "qtconfig-qt4" to change [22:56] queenabc: You can also try: ctrl-alt- [22:56] i have no idea if i typed it in correctly, but will try again [22:56] queenabc, also you can try to use that dd cmd from tty1 (ctrl alt f1) [22:56] ( to cycle through available resolutions [22:56] yeah the zoom just messes it up worse [22:57] i just ctrl-alt-f1 and now i'm stuck at a screen that says [22:57] "xrandr: Failed to get size of gama for output default [22:58] queenabc, also note that dd cmd will take some time since it overwrites your whole disk (depending on size it can take hours....) [22:58] I'm a 42" tv.. shall i switch to the 19"? lol [22:58] I'm on* [22:58] queenabc: xrandr can't work in tty1-tty6 only a terminal from inside X [22:58] Salamalekum [22:58] queenabc, thats the problem: your tv is over one meter and that qt4 reads that from edid parameters and makes fonts tiny [22:58] shit. [22:59] okay minor adjustments to be made. one sec [22:59] queenabc, can you go to gui with ctr alt f2 or highter (maybe f7=? [22:59] alt-f7 [22:59] try all f keys === sultan_sulehiman is now known as fancyabum === linuxthefish is now known as linuxthefish` [23:00] Heyyy [23:01] Hello gaylords [23:01] sultan_sulehiman: rule#1 DONT BE A DICK === sultan_sulehiman is now known as fanyabum [23:01] Ok sorry [23:02] ctrl-alt-f2 brought me to what looks like the cmd [23:02] i'm "user@debian:~$ === fanyabum is now known as hey [23:02] queenabc, ok do "ls -l /dev/sd*" [23:03] syntroPi: gives me 4 root disks looks like [23:03] queenabc, which ones? [23:03] queenabc, sda1-4 [23:03] maybe? [23:04] is this not typing? [23:04] oh there we go [23:04] */dev/sda [23:04] then sda1, sda2, and sda5 [23:04] hi, since upgrading some server from ubuntu 8 to ubuntu 12, I'm getting "svn: PROPFIND of '/repository/!svn/bc/1058': Could not read status line: SSL error: Decryption has failed. (https://servername) [23:04] apparetly the irc was taking the "/"as a command lol [23:04] queenabc, thats your first hdd and the 1 2 and 5 are the partitions on it [23:05] ie, the server with svn-dav-apache was upgraded [23:05] okay, so type "dd /dec/sda === cubix``690 is now known as cubix` [23:05] on some irc clients you can escape / with a // [23:06] /dev/hda === fisted_ is now known as fisted [23:06] not an option [23:06] queenabc: What are you trying to do with dd ? [23:06] queenabc, if you want to wipe that first hdd you go like "sudo dd if=/dev/zero of=/dev/sda bs=1M" to erase all data and partitions from it. doesnt display anything and can take very long (hours). you can always stop it with "ctr c" [23:07] dont know, someone told me i need to run that command to format the ext4 drive to ntfs [23:07] syntroPi: ok on it now === LaserShark is now known as LaserShark|dead [23:07] queenabc: No, you don't need that === tjbiddle_ is now known as tjbiddle [23:07] genii-around, he tried to format with windows installer for some reason that wouldnt work [23:08] genii-around, so that would make it factory new zeroed out [23:08] syntroPi: Just change partition type to 7 for ntfs, use mkntfs /dev/sda# for it [23:08] please help me install this file - firefox-18.0.2.tar.bz2 [23:08] alrght so first line of command was "sudo---zero"" then next line was "of --sda" then last line was "bs=1M" right? [23:09] genii-around, not sure of win8 would eat that NTFS [23:09] syntroPi: If you want to reclaim entire drive then use partitoner to do that, make one big one, same process... type 7, mkntfs, etc [23:09] queenabc, noo all on one line then enter [23:09] pressed enter after last line and now a new line is opened, with the underscore blinker rapidly.. i'm guessing it's going? [23:09] dammit [23:10] queenabc, ctr D [23:10] i control C [23:10] same? [23:10] kinda [23:10] queenabc: Not really but maybe it wiped out the mbr [23:10] genii-around, well gui doesnt work on his box and parted maybe too complicated [23:11] alright did it in one line, pressed enter once, now new line opened [23:11] press enter again? [23:11] genii-around, not sure how many bytes need to be wiped if it would be a gpt... but mbr the first megabytes should be enough [23:11] syntroPi: Yup [23:11] bunjee: firefox 18.0.2 is already in every supported release, might just need to: sudo apt-get update; sudo apt-get upgrade; [23:12] might as well need to: sudo apt-get install firefox? [23:12] queenabc, type one line sudo dd if=/dev/zero of=/dev/sda bs=1M then hit ENTER [23:12] i did [23:12] queenabc, http://askubuntu.com/questions/206773/how-to-completely-erase-hard-drive [23:12] the secure way [23:13] now the blinker is sitting on the second line as if its waiting for the rest of the arguments [23:13] queenabc: No, it's just processing. Will return to prompt when done, but gives no progress indication [23:13] shit. okay ill just let it sit again [23:13] queenabc: If you do the ctrl-D it will background it [23:14] crtl-z isn't it? [23:14] thank you trism! [23:14] well i'm on a live cd so no point in backgrounding the process, [23:14] braiam, doesnt need secure since he will overwrite it with win8. no urandom or several turns wipe needed [23:15] and the gui is still super tiny syntroPi from what i saw when switching between the F keys [23:16] queenabc, had same issue here: QT4 will read your screen resolution and size from EDID interface (HDMI or DVI maybe even VGA???) and use that for font size. those will be 3px on 42 TVs hahaha (bug or feature)??? [23:16] braiam: Maybe, I don't use it that often.... [23:17] but i switched to my 19" lol problemshould be averted yeah? but nada [23:17] happy valentines day people!!! [23:17] i'm sorry, 28" i think. not 19.. what the hell. i dont know [23:18] queenabc, i had that issue with google earth. searched long time for solutions... then i just used "qtconfig-qt4" to set proper font size and there they were [23:19] now if i run that command in my cmd on wind7.. will it do the same.. just look for the right resolution? [23:19] on my laptop , that is [23:19] queenabc, idk but i think they should restrict those settings to lower limit maybe 8px or so. then characters would be readable with magnifying glasses at least :p [23:21] queenabc, qt is kde or programs using that gui library. there are some for windows too but it wont change your windows gui setting [23:21] queenabc, win cmd allow you to change font type and size [23:21] yeah i tried getting my camera out but didnt work [23:21] brb [23:22] queenabc, btw is your hdd led flashing/lighting up? [23:23] no clue where that is. will have to look up the cases's manual. the power led is lit normally (blue) but there's a secondary light right next to it that's rectangular and red atm [23:23] it the fractal design arc midi [23:23] queenabc, just to make sure your cmd is active and writing to it. no need for manual [23:24] the cmd is still blinking the cursor so should be good right now [23:24] do you guys know how to test if multiple ips are working on my machine ? [23:24] usually the hdd leds are red [23:25] ill just study my ccna for the moment until it clears up. will come back if anything changes [23:25] queenabc, ok when its done you will have your normal prompt "user@debian:~$" or so [23:25] okay sweet [23:26] what exactly is this doing right now? [23:26] when i cancelled out before it gave me a reading of the records copied [23:26] gave me the size copied, the seconds it took, and the speed it did it in [23:26] i cancelle twice accidentally [23:27] queenabc, it reads from /dev/zero (device that just provides zeroes) and writes those to your first hdd /dev/sda. so after it finished you have a "factory new" zeroed hdd [23:27] okay, and at what point to i set the filesystem to ntfs? or will this do that [23:28] queenabc, nope you have blank disk after that. then windows installer will make new ntfs partition [23:28] sweet. thanks. wil return with results === Senjai is now known as Guest53193 [23:32] i ran sudo apt-get update and im getting a lotta errors [23:32] 404 not found [23:33] i think my ubuntu is really old [23:33] uname -a [23:34] Linux decepticon 2.6.27-11-generic #1 SMP Thu Jan 29 19:24:39 UTC 2009 i686 GNU/Linux === tjbiddle_ is now known as tjbiddle [23:35] assault cube 1.10 [23:35] azizLIGHTS: "lsb_release -sc" might be helpful [23:35] hello [23:35] i literalyl just wanna install mc and do some file browsing [23:35] no update of my os [23:36] its intrepid [23:36] azizLIGHTS: 1) unsupported versions aren't a good idea to use. 2) are you familiar with ranger? i like it more then mc. [23:37] azizLIGHTS: see "/msg ubottu eol" for some details [23:39] irealize this version is old, and i agree unsupported/old versions are not a good idea. however, this is just a skeleton computer that houses hard drives for me over a local network, a NAS, if you will. i dont connect it to the internet or intend to, just wanna get afile manager on here so i can do it more comfortably. and i havent seen ranger yet no. im willin to try it [23:39] how do i go about getting mc or ranger === gordon is now known as Guest46699 [23:39] azizLIGHTS: see "/msg ubottu eol" for some details, i think it has some quasi-repo you can use (that's intended for updates... but hopefully you can use it) [23:40] if that doesnt work? i have to compile source? [23:40] or look for a shady binary somewhere... [23:40] azizLIGHTS: well, by "real" advice would be fresh install a supported version ;) [23:40] s/by/my/ [23:41] thats my next step heh. first im trying to consolidate hdds, then wipe, then upgrade [23:41] azizLIGHTS: upgrade from intrepid. good luck with that. [23:41] er, by upgrade, i mean fresh install [23:42] bad choice of words [23:42] you can too mount the hdd on another pc and make your movements there [23:43] I think is more easy then waste hours looking for a way with your current os [23:43] lol [23:43] yeah i guess [23:43] just trying to being practical ;) [23:44] yeah you make sense, i dunno why i didnt think of that [23:46] syntroPi: you there? [23:47] It worked, thanks, everyone [23:48] !cookies syntroPi [23:48] Hey good people, so I read that Steam is finally being distributed on the Ubuntu Software Center [23:49] And I'm greeted with this button http://snag.gy/z3OAZ.jpg [23:49] zZeus: lul [23:49] zZeus, I can confirm that, saw that too today. It takes you to launchpad signup [23:49] Why the hate though [23:50] Anyway to work around it? [23:50] I downloaded the latest deb... [23:50] worked just fine :) [23:51] Is there a 64-bit deb package in Steam's site? [23:51] hello ! [23:51] sadly, no :/ [23:51] free = buy... [23:52] braiam, if you mean that it's a textual glitch: it's not. It takes you a sign up page and stuff [23:53] zZeus: what's the problem? [23:53] http://snag.gy/z3OAZ.jpg [23:53] This [23:53] nah, I was just loling at the text in the left that said "free" [23:53] zZeus: yes, what's the problem? [23:54] That's the problem, I want to install it via the USC [23:54] zZeus: what happens when you click "buy"? === wedgwood is now known as wedgwood_away [23:54] I'm taken to ubuntu.com or something that looks like it to sign up [23:55] Like I have to pay for it [23:55] Currently, the problem is finding the Steam 64-bit debian package so I can install it manually though [23:55] zZeus: Hmm, that's weird, it says free [23:55] zZeus, it's free, but you need to have an ubuntu one account to install it [23:56] zZeus: you can use apt if you want to install the "steam" package [23:56] zZeus: but yes, I think it's just setup to be setup with your ubuntu one account (it's free) [23:56] jrib, that's odd [23:57] Is that 13.04? I don't think support for that has started in this channel yet. [23:57] Hey is any one familiar with testout.com? [23:57] Xubuntu 12.10 [23:57] instead buy, it could use another term to describe the process, it will confuse users === wedgwood_away is now known as wedgwood [23:58] zZeus: Hmm, oh, I see, it's in the software center [23:58] Yes, http://snag.gy/z3OAZ.jpg [23:58] jrib: I don't see a steam package via apt though [23:59] apt-get install steam doesn't work [23:59] Anyone please testout.com? === wedgwood is now known as wedgwood_away
