| kunji | lonewulf85: What about it? | 00:00 |
|---|---|---|
| lonewulf85 | kunji: Is there anyway to do the labsims from that site using ubuntu or is there no way to work around the silverlight BS | 00:01 |
| jrib | zZeus, kunji: oh, I guess that's only available through steam's apt repository. I wonder where software-center gets its steam from... | 00:01 |
| braiam | the canonical patner repo, no? | 00:01 |
| kunji | lonewulf85: Oh, depends. Moonlight does some of the things Silverlight does, but it does not support the latest functionality, so it depends what features of Silverlight they're using. If Moonlight doesn't work than you'll probably have to use Windows. | 00:02 |
| jrib | braiam: I think software-center does something funky with adding repositories for some of the proprietary apps there, not sure | 00:02 |
| lonewulf85 | kunji: Damn I was afraid of that lol oh well that is what VMware is good for right. | 00:03 |
| braiam | in lp there are all the debs althrough | 00:04 |
| kunji | lonewulf85: yep | 00:04 |
| jrib | braiam, kunji, zZeus: right I just installed it and software-center added a ppa (private-ppa.launchpad.net_commercial-ppa-uploaders_steam64_ubuntu.list) and then I have steam64 in apt... | 00:05 |
| lonewulf85 | kunji; Thanks is there any issue I may be able to help you with? | 00:05 |
| cf16 | yes | 00:05 |
| Sazpaimon | okay, I have ubuntu installed and booting, but it won't boot unless I disable secure boot | 00:05 |
| kunji | lonewulf85: Nah, I'm good to go, thanks though | 00:05 |
| braiam | ha! is called steamy | 00:05 |
| zZeus | jrib: great, so I guess I can just manually add that ppa myself? | 00:05 |
| Sazpaimon | if I enable secure boot, my bios tells me that I have an invalid signature and then boots windows instead | 00:06 |
| syntroPi | zZeus, maybe it gets it from http://media.steampowered.com/client/installer/steam.deb like described here https://wiki.ubuntu.com/Valve | 00:06 |
| lonewulf85 | kunji: No prob I just figure that if people would stop to help someone after they have helped them then the world would be a better place LOL | 00:06 |
| jrib | zZeus: that won't work probably since these private ppas require authentication. Either click buy and log in with your ubuntu one account, just use the .deb from valve, or use valve's steam repository | 00:06 |
| mirak | i don't understand why lirc now believe my remote is vista_mce instead of usbmce | 00:06 |
| kunji | Sazpaimon: You would need to use the EFI install method stuffs I think to use it with secure boot on, but personally I don't think secure boot is worth the hassle just at the moment | 00:06 |
| Sazpaimon | kunji, I booted with EFI | 00:07 |
| Noorideen | where is queen? | 00:07 |
| zZeus | I'll just go get the deb package from the Steam site then, thanks for the help guys. | 00:07 |
| Sazpaimon | I copied the ISO contents to a FAT32 USB stick, and renamed grubx64.efi to bootx64.efi (the usb stick would not boot otherwise), disabled secure boot, and installed ubuntu | 00:08 |
| Sazpaimon | then when I re-enable secure boot, ubuntu won't boot | 00:08 |
| syntroPi | Sazpaimon, idk but i think there are keys in your bios for the bootloader. one is from M$ and afaik there is a bootloader for linux signed with M$ key. idk the name though | 00:09 |
| syntroPi | s/bios/uefi firmware/g | 00:09 |
| lonewulf85 | Sazpaimon: Are you referring to UEFI? | 00:09 |
| Sazpaimon | lonewulf85, yes | 00:09 |
| kunji | Sazpaimon: https://help.ubuntu.com/community/UEFIBooting This might help | 00:09 |
| Sazpaimon | kunji, I dont see anything about secure boot here | 00:10 |
| Sazpaimon | like I said, ubuntu is booting fine from UEFI, but only if secure boot is enabled | 00:10 |
| lonewulf85 | Sazpaimon: From my understanding of the UEFI (Unified Extesable Firmware Interface) is that when secureboot is enabled inorder for the os to boot it has to be signed by Micro$oft. | 00:10 |
| Sazpaimon | lonewulf85, yeah, and ubuntu 12.10 has that taken care of, or so I've read | 00:11 |
| Noorideen | how can i install ubuntu but i want to keep my windows? | 00:11 |
| kunji | Sazpaimon: Ubuntu 12.10 will use Intel's efilinux as UEFI bootloader in order to comply with Microsoft's UEFI Secure Boot. | 00:11 |
| Sazpaimon | kunji, yeah, that doesn't tell me why it isn't working when secure boot is enabled | 00:12 |
| kunji | Sazpaimon: how about that? Or are you on 12.04, which I don't think does it yet | 00:12 |
| lonewulf85 | Sazpaimon: I am not familiar enough with 12.10 I use 12.04 my laptop that has UEFI is running windows 7 it came with winblows 8 | 00:12 |
| Sazpaimon | kunji, 1. 12.04.2 does indeed support secure boot, and 2. (1) is irrelevant because I'm using 12.10 | 00:12 |
| syntroPi | Sazpaimon, http://falstaff.agner.ch/2012/12/12/secure-boot-implementation-of-ubuntu-12-10-quantal-quetzal/ and https://github.com/mjg59/shim | 00:12 |
| lonewulf85 | Sazpaimon: If 12.04.2 supports secure boot why not use that 12.10 has kernel issues anyway and 12.04 is an LTS that will be supported until 2017. | 00:13 |
| Sazpaimon | because I already installed 12.10 | 00:14 |
| Sazpaimon | I'd like to keep it that way | 00:14 |
| kunji | Sazpaimon: This has some of the technical details https://lists.ubuntu.com/archives/ubuntu-devel/2012-June/035445.html | 00:14 |
| Sazpaimon | do I really need to get into the technicals on ubuntu's secure boot method in order to get it to work? | 00:15 |
| Sazpaimon | shouldn't it "just work"? | 00:15 |
| lonewulf85 | Sazpaimon: Oh I see I would help if I could but I have not tried 12.10 as when I installed it on my little Acer netbook it crashed, that is why I installed 12.04 :) | 00:15 |
| kunji | Sazpaimon: I'm not sure, I don't own a machine using it to play with. | 00:16 |
| lonewulf85 | Well I am leaving to use VMWare so I can do school work talk to you guys later. | 00:16 |
| kunji | Sazpaimon: But either way, the details might help you figure out what's up with it. | 00:17 |

| braiam | Sazpaimon, the intalation usb booted normal with secure boot enabled? | 00:18 |
| Sazpaimon | braiam, no, the bootx64.efi included in the ISO just gave me a black screen when I copied it to the USB | 00:19 |
| Sazpaimon | I had to rename grubx64.efi to bootx64.efi and disable secure boot to get it to install | 00:19 |
| braiam | maybe you shouldn't disable secure boot while installing | 00:19 |
| Sazpaimon | grubx64.efi wouldn't load with secure boot enabled | 00:20 |
| braiam | what version/flavor you used? | 00:22 |
| Sazpaimon | braiam, 12.10 x64 | 00:22 |
| Sazpaimon | if I install with secure boot disabled, does it install an unsigned version of grubx64.efi? | 00:22 |

| mike304 | i am chatting from window 7 | 00:29 |
| syntroPi | sencha, yes press f2 at bootup and select memtest 86+ | 00:30 |
| iknofailfu | than it is driver-related i suspect | 00:30 |
| eN_Joy | what is the equivalent ufw syntax to "iptables -t nat -A POSTROUTING -s 10.8.0.0/24 -o eth0 -j MASQUERADE"? thanks | 00:30 |

| Kazii | Hi, can you block a public IP address from accessing an internet facing Ubuntu CLI Server ? | 00:31 |
| NYC | i know hostapd can be used to create a hotspot but can this be done manually? | 00:32 |
| NYC | with jus the iwconfig commands? | 00:32 |
| iknofailfu | well it is hard to guess, in order to fix some problem u need to provide more information related to the case | 00:32 |
| mike304 | the situation is hard to describe | 00:32 |
| dr_willis | Kazii: a cli server? yiu mean a ssh server? | 00:32 |
| dr_willis | !ics | 00:33 |
| ubottu | If you want to share the internet connection of your Ubuntu machine with other machines in the network see https://help.ubuntu.com/community/Internet/ConnectionSharing | 00:33 |
| mike304 | if i can access the console, what should i do? | 00:33 |
| dr_willis | mike304: so a live usb works fine? no crashing? | 00:34 |
| mike304 | nope | 00:34 |
| iknofailfu | mike304, if i were u in that case and i had access to console i would take /var/log/kern.log /var/log/dmesg.log | 00:34 |
| Kazii | dr_willis I mean the server has no iterface its just a command interface, the server is a web server for example | 00:34 |
| NYC | good looks ubottu | 00:34 |
| iknofailfu | and would try to figure out if it really crashes setting up network setting in order to try to reach it over network after it locks | 00:35 |
| dr_willis | Kazii: ssh in. use the firewall tools to block what you want. | 00:35 |
| mike304 | its mainly when i press the ubuntu start orb | 00:35 |
| iknofailfu | mike304, i suggest to start from ctrl+alt+backspace or ctrl+alt+f# | 00:35 |

| braiam | Kazii, please state your question, if anyone knows the answer you will get it | 00:38 |
| Jayneil | Is there a site where I can get the stock Ubuntu shipped kernel(pre-compiled).. ? Currently only the ubuntu mainline kernels are available which don't contain all the patches from ubuntu.. | 00:40 |
| Jayneil | Or the only possible way is to download the entire ubuntu kernel source and build it..? | 00:40 |
| Pici | Jayneil: packages.ubuntu.com or via https://launchpad.net/ubuntu/+source/linux | 00:40 |
| Pici | Jayneil: Assuming you want the .debs | 00:41 |
| Kazii | Ok im running a Zentyal gateway 3.x, behind it i have a reverse proxy, the gateway forwards all port 80 to my reverse proxy, in packet filters however i have blocked all access from external networks to the gateway and external to the internal network for a specific public ip address, the ip address is still reaching the reverse proxy however. Everything is running Ubuntu Server edition | 00:41 |
| julian-delphiki | Kazii, what's the problem? | 00:42 |
| julian-delphiki | Kazii, and what are you using for a reverse proxy | 00:43 |

| rosco_y | I'm thinking of tearing down my openSUSE and rebuilding in Ubuntu--does anyone know if MonoDevelop works in v12.10? | 00:44 |
| Kazii | julian-delphiki The point is Zentyal is not blocking the public IP … despite the packet filter being configured to do so. | 00:44 |
| rosco_y | or would I be better of going back to an earlier version? | 00:44 |
| Jayneil | Pici: Thanks. packages.ubuntu.com contains all the deb files. I want the kernel that ships with 12.04.. In the kernel section, there are a lot of files related to the kernel.. Do, I have to download and install all of them or just the generic kernel image? | 00:44 |
| julian-delphiki | Kazii, and what are you using for a packet filter? | 00:44 |
| Kazii | julian-delphiki Zentyal champ | 00:45 |
| Pici | Jayneil: you'd just want the generic kernel image. The sources themselves build a bunch of deb packages, for different architecutres and whatnot, pick the one that fits you | 00:45 |
| julian-delphiki | oh. I can | 00:45 |

| Kazii | julian-delphiki Its a little quiet over there though | 00:48 |
| julian-delphiki | Kazii, just seeing if it existed :) Most people would probably suggest other software than what you're doing to achieve the same result. | 00:48 |
| julian-delphiki | Kazii, what you're attempting to accomplish is allow / forward port 80 traffic from a certain IP, yeah? | 00:50 |
| Jayneil | Pici: While installing a mainline ubuntu kernel(3.7.8 for example on 64 bit machine), I download 4 deb files and installed them.. But while using the packages.ubuntu.com, I just download the generic kernel.. Is that ok? Or I still have to download some other files..? | 00:52 |

| craigbass1976 | So I made a tar file today before I wiped a drive. I checked the tar file, and it seemed about the right size for what I was grabbing. Turns out everything was relative, so after I'd wiped the drive and went to look at the tar file, it was virtually nonexistent.

| iknofailfu | mike304, did u take those logs and checked if system really crashes over setting network settings before it happens? | 01:01 |
| craigbass1976 | I'm also wondering because the combined sum of the filesizes I'm getting now is already a gig more than the total of the tar was. | 01:01 |
| kunji | mike304: In that case I would probably recommend that you use Lubuntu or Xubuntu instead. You could also try installing proprietary graphics drivers though. | 01:01 |
| mike304 | i cannot change the brightness so it might mean i should install a driver first | 01:02 |

| Pinkamena_D | no luck | 01:28 |
| zykotick9 | Pinkamena_D: use kill/killall from another terminal then, would be my recommendation | 01:28 |
| Pinkamena_D | what is the command to list pid again> | 01:29 |
| braiam | ps ax | 01:29 |
| dr_willis | Pinkamena_D: thats the 'console' switch to another console and use the kill or killall command us one way | 01:29 |
| Pinkamena_D | ps | 01:29 |
| Pinkamena_D | ok | 01:29 |
| aPpYe | I have been perusing google for this... I have enjoyed building my own desktop for years, starting from a cli-only system using arch, debian, many others. Can I do the same with ubuntu? I have installed the server version in a VM and it seems like it would work pretty well. The installation experience was definitely familiar. | 01:29 |
| aPpYe | Is a server installation with nothing selected during the tasksel part of the install the same as a desktop install, just without X and whatever desktop and apps come with *buntu? Does a barebones server install have a bunch of daemons running by default that would not be there on a desktop install? | 01:29 |
| dr_willis | pa ax | grep pattern | 01:29 |
| zykotick9 | !mini | aPpYe | 01:29 |
| ubottu | aPpYe: The Minimal CD image is very small in size, and it downloads most packages from the Internet during installation, allowing you to select only those you want (the installer is like the one on the !Alternate CD). See https://help.ubuntu.com/community/Installation/MinimalCD | 01:29 |
| aPpYe | zykotick9, so this is the better way to go then? | 01:30 |
| zykotick9 | aPpYe: i wouldn't say "better" but certainly has a lot more options then server | 01:30 |
| rosco_y | I've just burned my ubuntu images, does anyone recommend gnome over kde, or vice-versa? | 01:31 |
| HelloWorld321 | how do I find out how much ram I have? | 01:31 |
| dr_willis | theres not a lot of differances between a desktop and server install.. orher then the desktop gui these days | 01:31 |
| zykotick9 | HelloWorld321: from terminal "free" | 01:31 |
| Pinkamena_D | i killed it but still no luck. irssi has the blinking cursor but no keys respond...oh well i can restart i was just curious. | 01:31 |
| rosco_y | (if that's not too much of an opening for trivial arguments) | 01:31 |
| HelloWorld321 | tx zykotick9 | 01:31 |
| zykotick9 | HelloWorld321: "free -m" to see in MB | 01:31 |
| dr_willis | rosco_y: install both desktops and swithh at the login screen to test them both | 01:31 |
| Jayneil | Pici: Got it! Thanks a lot! :) | 01:32 |
| aPpYe | zykotick9, okay, I will check it out then. generally, my way of doing things is go populate a text file with the packages I want, then, after the minimal installation is done, run 'apt-get install $(cat /path/to/file) | 01:32 |
| lb27 | rosco_y: why not xfce? | 01:32 |
| ClientAlive | Is there anything that will allow a remote session team work session - where there will be two cursors (one for each person) that they can control independently and you can have more than one active window at the same time? | 01:32 |
| john321 | misouri meeting tonight | 01:32 |
| ClientAlive | team viewer does not seem to do this (unfortunately) | 01:32 |
| zykotick9 | aPpYe: i do a similar thing, just in sh script form ;) | 01:32 |
| rosco_y | ty dr_willis, does that somehow contaminate the system to have unused desktop managers, or are the unused ones completely out of the picture? | 01:32 |
| dr_willis | aPpYe: why are you bothering? you that short of hd space! | 01:32 |
| dr_willis | rosco_y: no | 01:33 |
| dr_willis | i got all the main desktops installed | 01:33 |
| zykotick9 | dr_willis: are you serious? cruft. why install what canonical wants? aPpYe | 01:33 |
| aPpYe | dr_willis, no, just like to have a simpler desktop system. I have not really used ubuntu for quite some time and wanted to try my hand at building a minimal system. | 01:33 |
| rosco_y | lb27: excellent point...I used to like x windows when I was in school. Can you still customize the desktop with X-Window type programs? | 01:33 |
| Pici | zykotick9: re: hashes, I actually copy and pasted it out of the factoid myself. I'm weird like that. | 01:34 |
| zykotick9 | Pici: interesting ;) | 01:34 |
| dr_willis | aPpYe: id just do a normal install. then install whatever window manager you want to use. | 01:34 |
| zykotick9 | Pici: that's probably a friendlier way actually. | 01:34 |
| aPpYe | dr_willis, bah! no way! | 01:35 |
| dr_willis | i dont see much point in spending literally hours and hours trying to get a minimal system. | 01:35 |
| rosco_y | well, that's it. I've backed up and I'm ready to reformat/reinstall. (I thought I was done with this when I threw windows away---but this feels happier somehow....) | 01:35 |
| dr_willis | if i want minimal, id use tiny core linux. ;) | 01:35 |
| rosco_y | bye peoples, hope to see you soon :) | 01:35 |
| aPpYe | dr_willis, not hours and hours... I have already done that. I would think it would go pretty well. And actually, I am going to build my own KDE system. so not really minimal, just with my own selection of packages. | 01:36 |
| john321 | how do you get to #ubuntu-us-mo | 01:37 |
| aPpYe | meaning, I already have my package selections, and wanted to try plugging it into ubuntu instead of debian/sid/gentoo/arch/etc | 01:37 |
| dr_willis | if you want a light kde. check out that qt-razer or was it qt-razor project | 01:37 |
| aPpYe | razorqt | 01:38 |
| aPpYe | nah. | 01:38 |
| aPpYe | not really about being super light, just about playing with linux in general. | 01:38 |
| dr_willis | I got my raspberry pi to play with. ;) | 01:39 |
| greg__ | How do I connect to a windows network share from 12.04? | 01:39 |
| dr_willis | the file manager should be able to browse/see/connect to shares. | 01:39 |
| greg__ | I don't see them. | 01:39 |
| dr_willis | or use the file manager hit ctrl-l to show address bar. and type in the address/server/sharenae | 01:39 |
| dr_willis | ie: smb://servername/sharename | 01:40 |
| dr_willis | or smb://192.168.1.100/sharename (for example) | 01:40 |
| dr_willis | or try the connect to server.... menu item | 01:40 |
| greg__ | I can't find the connect to server thing. | 01:41 |
| greg__ | Where do I find that? | 01:41 |
| dr_willis | you can also mount shares by hand. | 01:41 |
| dr_willis | its in the menus.. somewhere i recall | 01:41 |
| dr_willis | im on my phone. :) so cant look for you | 01:41 |

| Mmmonkeys | Hey guys. | 01:44 |
| Mmmonkeys | I'm installing Ubuntu on my netbook for fun. Do I want to Encrypt the new Ubuntu installation for security and/or use LVM with the new Ubuntu installation? | 01:44 |
| Mmmonkeys | I have no idea what either mean. The netbook I'm installing Ubuntu on is very low spec. | 01:45 |
| num7 | hi, when i ping "domain.com" i can transmit any packages. But i the webbrowser i can access this page. Why? | 01:45 |
| Pici | Mmmonkeys: Probably not then. | 01:45 |
| Mmmonkeys | Okay, thanks. | 01:45 |
| lb27 | Mmmonkeys: are you concerned about privacy? | 01:45 |
| Mmmonkeys | Not really. | 01:45 |
| Mmmonkeys | Not on that laptop I'm not. | 01:45 |
| Mmmonkeys | I'm no one important either. | 01:46 |
| lb27 | Mmmonkeys: That's what they want you to think. | 01:46 |
| num7 | hi, when i ping "domain.com" i can't transmit any packages. But i the webbrowser i can access this page. Why? | 01:46 |
| Mmmonkeys | Umm, alright lb27 . | 01:47 |
| Pici | num7: Its possible that icmp packets are being filtered for you | 01:47 |
| === terlalu is now known as cetar | ||
| num7 | Pici: hm, it's only on this page... | 01:48 |
| Pici | num7: Okay, then that whoever controls that domain is blocking icmp packets. | 01:49 |
| ulkesh | num7: that domain may not allow ICMP requests | 01:49 |
| num7 | Pici: ulkesh : so is there any software on the server of this domain installed who blocks this ICMP packtes? | 01:50 |
| Pici | num7: essentially. | 01:51 |
| deadmund | what is a .bat file? | 01:51 |
| ulkesh | num7: It could be any number of things blocking it along the network path...i cannot ping it either, btw | 01:51 |
| LundyByte | windows batch file ? | 01:51 |
| Pici | deadmund: typicall the extension referrs to a batch file for windows. | 01:51 |
| deadmund | Pici: indeed... thanks | 01:52 |
| num7 | Pici: ulkesh Pici: is this any kind of protection? but pinging a page is harmless i thought. | 01:53 |
| Pici | num7: I've heard of blocking it in some cases, but theres really no harm in leaving it open either. | 01:55 |
| ulkesh | num7: it's a method of security-through-obfuscation...pinging is an easy way to know a computer exists on an IP...turning it off means potential hackers would have to portscan/etc...i agree with Pici that it's usually not a big deal | 01:57 |

| aaa801 | Ive just moved my minecraft server from windows onto linux, its not liking the unicode chars that it uses for colour codes, any way around this �' (0xFFFD) special characters are not allowed | 02:22 |
| aaa801 | in "<string>", position 808 | 02:22 |
| adam_ | @tomreyn I figured it out. Looks like Ubuntu thought that "filename.docx (Case Conflict 4)" was a zip file, but when I put the docx extension at the end, it opened fine. Thanks for your response! | 02:22 |
| tomreyn | adam_: glad you figured it out | 02:23 |
| tomreyn | aaa801: minecraft is not an ubuntu package, and this error seems to be coming from minecraft. so that's out of scope here. | 02:23 |
| aaa801 | its because it uses a unicode char, and the error doesnt happen on win =/ | 02:24 |
| minuseven | Tomreyn, I installed ubuntu to install Steam and get a new item in Team Fortress 2, but only learned what Dual Booting is after installing Ubuntu. Is there a safe way to uninstall Ubuntu or switch to Vista even after installing? | 02:24 |

| neil | why does fdisk default to not using the first sector for the first partition? | 02:25 |
| tomreyn | minuseven: you don't uninstall your main operating system, you simply replace it by another when you need to. | 02:25 |
| LundyByte | anyone? | 02:26 |
| zykotick9 | neil: stop using fdisk... it's not a good option. to answer you question - i have no idea. ;) | 02:26 |
| minuseven | I don't understand | 02:26 |
| tomreyn | minuseven: if you'Re fine with using ubuntu as your main operating system, then you can still run windows applications using wine, playonlinux, and, most conveniently, by running windows in a virtual machine using virtualbox. | 02:26 |
| tomreyn | !details | LundyByte | 02:27 |
| ubottu | LundyByte: 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 ..." | 02:27 |
| minuseven | Alright, but if I want to stop using Ubuntu, what do I do? I just wanted to try it out and also get that item in TF2, but I don't know what to do now that I'm done with it. | 02:28 |
| tomreyn | minuseven: basically, are you happy to keep ubuntu if you will still be able to run applications on windows? | 02:28 |
| zykotick9 | neil: i'm not sure if ubuntu's man page for fdisk is the same, but debian includes the tidbit "fdisk is a buggy program that does fuzzy things" and to "Try them in the order cfdisk, fdisk, sfdisk." but parted/gparted is probably your best modern option. | 02:29 |
| tomreyn | minuseven: okay, you want to go back to windows, i hadn't spotted your reply, yet | 02:29 |
| tomreyn | minuseven: then just reinstall windows | 02:29 |
| minuseven | Ubuntu seems to lag quite a bit for me, and it seems to have a bit of a learning curve. I would prefer to go back to Vista, but if this problem isn't fixable, I'll just stick with it for now. | 02:29 |
| neil | zykotick9, ok I will. | 02:29 |
| minuseven | I don't have a spare copy of windows. It came preinstalled on here. | 02:29 |

| topper4125 | Having a problem with my Wifi, if the computer sits idle for a short time (Less than 5 mins) the wifi will become completely unresponsive, I can see that the laptop is still connected to the router via my PC, but *Nothing* works, IRC, Web Browser, ubuntu Update etc. I end up having to close all programs, shut down the Wifi on the laptop for a few and reconnecting. this started happening about a week ago... using 12.04.1 LTS any ideas? | 02:31 |
| minuseven | So I'm stuck on Ubuntu? | 02:31 |
| tomreyn | minuseven: let's make sure what you did there, before jumping to possibly wrong conclusions. how did you install ubuntu? | 02:31 |
| su-joc | having some issue adding the ppa for ngnix. Used add-apt-repository ppa: with success. added the source.lsit entries as well per doc. Is there something I'm missing? | 02:31 |
| minuseven | I downloaded the installer off of the ubuntu site. I installed it (it took about 15 minutes, in case that helps) and then it told me to reboot. I rebooted it and it hopped right into ubuntu. | 02:32 |
| tomreyn | topper4125: please install all available updates, you should be on 12.04.2 when you're done. | 02:33 |
| topper4125 | tomreyn, k, I'll try it... thanks | 02:33 |
| tomreyn | topper4125: if the problems remain after that, look into upgrading your firmware as well as intopower saving issues. | 02:33 |
| tomreyn | su-joc: how do you know it did not work? | 02:34 |
| su-joc | tomreyn: after update/upgrade --show-upgraded ngnix not found :-( | 02:34 |
| minuseven | Oh, and the installer was 'wubi'. Forgot to say that. | 02:34 |
| tomreyn | minuseven: okay, wubi, that makes quite the difference. | 02:35 |
| tomreyn | !wubi | minuseven | 02:35 |

| minuseven | That link works, one problem though. It says to uninstall it though Windows, but I cannot access it. | 02:37 |
| tomreyn | su-joc: what is your overall goal, what are you trying to do generally? | 02:37 |
| * zykotick9 thinks wubi=fail. virtualbox is a better option... | 02:37 | |

| minuseven | How do I do that. | 02:39 |
| minuseven | *? | 02:39 |
| minuseven | Sorry, I am very unfamiliar with this OS. | 02:39 |
| tomreyn | minuseven: i'm not used to the standard ubuntu interface, so i'm not sure. but you should have this ubuntu button somewhere which you can click, and there should be an option to power off, logout or similar | 02:41 |
| topper4125 | how do I double check via terminal if I'm using 12.04.1 or 12.04.2? | 02:41 |

| Cell | in fact on anything free I click on, "install" isnt listed anymore, all I see is "buy" and it asks me to create an account | 02:43 |
| minuseven | Once I created an account, it was free but it doesn't install for me for some reason | 02:43 |
| Cell | Canonical seems to think we enjoy Window style bullshit | 02:43 |

| minuseven | Would the "Suspend" option shut down ubuntu and bring me back to Windows? | 02:44 |
| wiggmpk | minuseven: no | 02:45 |
| unheeding | is there a PPA for the latest stable Chromium release? I got version 24 from the software centre, version 26 is the most recent | 02:45 |
| wiggmpk | minuseven: it would "suspend" whatever your doing to RAM | 02:45 |
| minuseven | Wiggmpk, how would I get back to windows after installing wubi? | 02:46 |
| Cell | hey minuseven do you happen to have an md5sum for steam_latest.deb? | 02:46 |
| wiggmpk | minuseven: i think you need to hold CTRL or Shift and it should change the "Suspend" option to "Shutdown" | 02:46 |
| Cell | UNHEEDING | 02:47 |
| wiggmpk | minuseven: when you hit Shutdown it SHOULD prompt you to cancel/restart/shutdown | 02:47 |
| topper4125 | unheeding, https://launchpad.net/~chromium-daily/+archive/stable | 02:47 |
| minuseven | Would any of those bring me back to Windows? | 02:47 |
| wiggmpk | Cell: if you installed steam from the software center it should of automatically added a repository.. which in turn will automatically update to the latest steam client when its available | 02:48 |
| Cell | well the software center wont let me install it even though its free so I'm just going to manually install the .deb installer from steam's site, but they dont list an md5 hash and I'd like to verify it | 02:48 |
| wiggmpk | minuseven: once you select restart, depending on what bootloader your using, should give you the option to select operating systems | 02:48 |
| dr_willis | a wubi install still boots to the windows boot loader menu ibelive | 02:49 |
| Cell | I wonder if I can circumvent that by using that other package manager | 02:49 |
| minuseven | Alright, I'll check it out | 02:49 |
| dr_willis | Cell: what error does itgive? | 02:49 |
| minuseven | it is asking me if I want to close all programms and restart the computer, nothing about OSes. | 02:49 |
| Cell | not an error, it asks me to create an account. No install button is listed in the software center, it only has a Buy button | 02:49 |
| wiggmpk | minuseven: restarting your computer is what you need to do to access the boot loader.. which SHOULD list all installed OS's | 02:50 |
| minuseven | I should maybe say that i installed Wubi without knowledge about Dual booting. | 02:51 |
| dr_willis | cell try gdebi steamwhatever.deb perhaps | 02:51 |
| Netscape128 | Was anyone bummed when Ubuntu switched to Unity? | 02:51 |
| Cell | do you have a hash of the .deb file? I just want to confirm it | 02:51 |
| dr_willis | Netscape128: not really. | 02:51 |
| Cell | Netscape128: everyone? | 02:51 |
| zykotick9 | Netscape128: a little late to the party aren't we? it's OT here. | 02:52 |
| Netscape128 | I mean, I remember when it wasn't. | 02:52 |
| dr_willis | got an actual support question? | 02:52 |
| Netscape128 | Well how would I configure Wine to run Minecraft? | 02:52 |
| Cell | isn't minecraft java based | 02:53 |
| dr_willis | minecraft works in java. no need for wine | 02:53 |
| wiggmpk | Netscape128: you dont need too.. Minecraft is Java based and Java is available natively on linux | 02:53 |
| Netscape128 | My friend ran the .jar and it didn't work for him | 02:53 |
| dr_willis | he did it wrong then | 02:53 |
| Netscape128 | Is there a configuration I need for the terminal? | 02:53 |
| minuseven | How do I get back to Windows withough Dual Booting? | 02:53 |
| Netscape128 | Because one of my friends who is a linux brain said he did | 02:53 |
| minuseven | Using Wubi | 02:53 |
| dr_willis | i thenk the minecraft docs tell the needed options | 02:54 |
| Netscape128 | oh | 02:54 |
| Netscape128 | I'll tell him then | 02:54 |
| Netscape128 | Thanks! | 02:54 |
| wiggmpk | minuseven: Wubi is an installer.. a windows application to install ubuntu.. dual booting means you'll have to restart between operating systems.. otherwise look into Virtual Machines | 02:54 |
| minuseven | Alright, thanks | 02:55 |
| dr_willis | youtube may have videos on how wubi works. | 02:55 |
| dr_willis | i advise avoiding wubi when possible | 02:56 |

| wiggmpk | cool | 03:09 |
| Cell | what is the md5 sum for the package, minuseven? | 03:09 |
| wiggmpk | minuseven: i just removed steam (because it was i386) and also see the software center showing a "Buy" button | 03:09 |
| minuseven | Says install for me | 03:10 |
| Cell | wiggmpk: download it directly from steam http://repo.steampowered.com/steam/archive/precise/steam_latest.deb | 03:10 |
| wiggmpk | minuseven: but its for $0.00 so it doesnt matter | 03:10 |

| wiggmpk | Cell: then install steam the hard way | 03:10 |
| topper4125 | did ubotu fall asleep? | 03:11 |

| dr_willis | cell you can.... | 03:14 |
| Cell | minuseven: download it directly from steam | 03:14 |
| Cell | and install the .deb file | 03:14 |
| brightknight | Ubuntu: what package installs hebrew support? | 03:14 |
| zarrsh | you can install steam via software center now | 03:14 |
| Cell | you cant | 03:14 |
| Cell | it has a buy button | 03:14 |
| minuseven | I don't know how to install the .deb file. | 03:14 |
| dr_willis | sudo gdebi steam.deb installs steam for me,.......... | 03:14 |
| zarrsh | ? I just downloaded it no problem... | 03:15 |
| Cell | minuseven: right click on it and select open with -> ubuntu software center | 03:15 |
| Cell | but for the love of all that is good please do an md5 hash on it first so Ican compare | 03:15 |

| Cell | dr_willis: finally, thanks! | 03:17 |
| zykotick9 | topper4125: BUT, you shouldn't have to... | 03:17 |
| Cell | why does it matter? Because the government could force my ISP to redirect the download so that I install government malware | 03:17 |
| dr_willis | cell all i did was download it and did a md5sum...... | 03:17 |
| topper4125 | I was just telling minuseven what that link was... it explains how dpkg works... | 03:17 |
| Cell | yes that's all I needed, another md5sum to compare | 03:17 |
| dr_willis | cell how paranoid.. and doubtfull | 03:18 |
| Cell | not at all, the government does it a lot | 03:18 |
| wiggmpk | yes im sure they are busy drone striking other people and NOT redirecting your steam download | 03:18 |
| dr_willis | i have my doubts.. | 03:18 |

| Cell | ownage | 03:19 |
| dr_willis | use the cli to install.. less hassles | 03:19 |
| zykotick9 | FergusL: MANY time ;) you're in for issues with only 4G though. i don't actually remember Fn keys being an issue? what are you having problems with? | 03:20 |
| Cell | I hope steam verifies its update code | 03:21 |
| dr_willis | then verify the verification | 03:22 |
| FergusL | zykotick9: W (on frFR keyboard, should be Z in enUS), this key has the < and > | 03:22 |
| FergusL | it doesn't work, Fn + W writes nothing | 03:22 |

| Cell | hmm it wants me to login as root, I dont know if i trust this | 03:22 |
| === FreakingTea is now known as FiatTea | ||

| zykotick9 | FergusL: sorry, i only have experience with the US keyboard. good luck. | 03:23 |
| dr_willis | cell it adds a steam ppa to keep steam updaed.. | 03:23 |

| minuseven | Anyway, do I do Yes or No? | 03:50 |
| wiggmpk | yes | 03:50 |
| wiggmpk | syntroPi: i dont think it's a true 64bit client.. I believe it just automatically takes care of the dependencies for 64bit host machines.. | 03:51 |
| syntroPi | wiggmpk, well kinda my point. if it depends on multiarch support he would need to enable 32bit architecture on 64 bit machine to have it installable | 03:52 |
| syntroPi | wiggmpk, but idk anything about steam so just a guess | 03:52 |
| wiggmpk | syntroPi: but installing steam64 package from the software center SHOULD automatically take care of that | 03:52 |

| zykotick9 | C_Clear: before trying to reinstall anything (which under gnu/linux is a waste 90+% of the time), try changing the VO of you media player. | 04:02 |
| syntroPi | wiggmpk, im not on quantal right now but synaptic can display dependencies. also maybe gdebi can do this for local deb files | 04:02 |
| syntroPi | sure there is a native apt cmd for this too | 04:03 |
| wiggmpk | syntroPi: http://paste.ubuntu.com/1655242/ is what I get | 04:03 |
| syntroPi | steam:i386 | 04:04 |
| minuseven | wiggmpk: this is taking very long | 04:04 |
| C_Clear | have tried that before. changed the output to x11 video output the videos all ran painfully slow | 04:04 |
| DGMurdockIII | https://wiki.ubuntu.com/X/DriverBuilding | 04:04 |
| syntroPi | there is no multiarch support? hmmm | 04:04 |
| wiggmpk | minuseven: lot of pacakges to update | 04:04 |
| DGMurdockIII | C_Clear: https://wiki.ubuntu.com/X/DriverBuilding | 04:04 |
| minuseven | Alright thanks | 04:04 |
| C_Clear | zykotick9. know this issue seems to be due to doing a update instead of a clean install | 04:05 |
| DGMurdockIII | C_Clear: http://www.ubuntugeek.com/ubuntu-tiphow-to-removeinstall-and-reconfigure-xorg-without-reinstalling-ubuntu.html | 04:05 |
| zykotick9 | C_Clear: that would be due to the fact that x11 is usually the worst choice for vo. xv is PROBABLY your issue, can you try gl instead? | 04:05 |
| syntroPi | wiggmpk, what does it say to "sudo apt-cache depends steam" | 04:05 |
| C_Clear | thank you DGMurdock | 04:05 |
| Sorinan | I removed X, since I don't need it anymore, but now my system starts to tty7. How do I change that to tty1? | 04:05 |
| wiggmpk | syntroPi: http://paste.ubuntu.com/1655250/ | 04:06 |
| DGMurdockIII | C_Clear: http://www.ubuntugeek.com/ubuntu-tiphow-to-removeinstall-and-reconfigure-xorg-without-reinstalling-ubuntu.html | 04:06 |
| DGMurdockIII | anyone now the irc channel for the boot-repair tool | 04:06 |
| syntroPi | wiggmpk, hmm idk if apt would pull those i368 pkgs automatically in since on a x64 sys it would be x64 arch only. i had that issue with skype which did deoend on multiarch-support. cant see this here though | 04:08 |
| === Toten|Sleeping is now known as Totentag | ||
| dr_willis | Sorinan: its set in /etc/default/grub i think. or use the text mode option | 04:08 |
| syntroPi | wiggmpk, a "dpkg --add-architecture i386" did solve that issue for skype | 04:08 |
| wiggmpk | syntroPi: i originally installed steam directly from steam via .deb.. but since removed it once I seen the steam64 package in software center.. it just installed it fine | 04:09 |
| DGMurdockIII | I think usually it's the X server. | 04:09 |
| DGMurdockIII | Press Ctrl+Alt+F7 and see if it takes you to your graphical login session (or keeps you there). | 04:09 |
| DGMurdockIII | You can also open a shell and run tty. It will tell you the name of your current terminal. | 04:10 |

| C_Clear | DGMurdockIII, know I'm showing my noob stripes here. but how exactly do i retrieve/create a tarball (in reference to: https://wiki.ubuntu.com/X/DriverBuilding) | 04:11 |
| wiggmpk | minuseven: kk | 04:11 |
| C_Clear | DGMurdockIII: know I'm showing my noob stripes here. but how exactly do i retrieve/create a tarball (in reference to: https://wiki.ubuntu.com/X/DriverBuilding) | 04:12 |
| Sorinan | DGMurdockIII, none of those answers my question, since the idea is exatcly not having to switch terminals after boot :\ | 04:13 |
| dr_willis | call. | 04:14 |
| Liam__ | hello | 04:14 |
| dr_willis | Sorinan: theres a option in /etc/default/grub thats telling it to switch to 7 i recall | 04:14 |
| Liam__ | hello | 04:14 |
| dr_willis | Sorinan: the text option may disable the switch also | 04:15 |
| Liam__ | Ok so I cant get ubuntu to install on my harddrive it just keeps isntalling on my usb and overwriting the installer | 04:15 |
| Liam__ | Idk where to select the disk drive | 04:16 |
| Liam__ | [23:16] <Liam__> Ok so I cant get ubuntu to install on my harddrive it just keeps isntalling on my usb and overwriting the installer [23:16] <Liam__> Idk where to select the disk drive | 04:17 |
| dr_willis | sounds like the hd is not seen by the installer. it on a raid or other special hadware? | 04:17 |
| phunyguy | ok help.... I have autofs working on one laptop, with cifs-utils installed, but on a second laptop with the same exact config, I get nothing. | 04:18 |
| Liam__ | its sata right on the mother board my windows crashed and im at school im only half computer knowlegable | 04:18 |
| dr_willis | see if gparted on the live cd detects the hd also. | 04:18 |
| phunyguy | and nothing in the logs, as well as running autofs foregrounded | 04:18 |
| Liam__ | the bios recognizes the hard drive | 04:18 |
| cannon1 | Liam - you have to go into your bios and change the boot order | 04:18 |
| Sorinan | dr_willis, I couldn't find anything related on /etc/default/grub, nothing that mentions the default tty :\ | 04:19 |
| dr_willis | see if gparted. parted. or sudo blkid sees the hd | 04:19 |
| dr_willis | Sorinan: pastebin it.. im on my phone so cant see mine. i will look.. or just replace quiet splash with text | 04:20 |
| syntroPi | wiggmpk, ah ok i read this is only an issue with livecd tryouts (which is what i did) on installed distro it shouldnt be a problem. so forget about this | 04:20 |
| wiggmpk | syntroPi: hehe I wasnt the one with the issue anyway mate, but thanks for the help =) | 04:21 |
| dr_willis | Sorinan: option is after the quiet splash i recall. same line | 04:21 |
| minuseven | wiggmpk: It is done, now what? | 04:21 |
| wiggmpk | minuseven: run it again =P | 04:21 |
| minuseven | wiggmpk: Run what? | 04:22 |
| wiggmpk | minuseven: "sudo apt-get update && sudo apt-get upgrade" | 04:22 |
| minuseven | wiggmpk: Should this take as long as last time? | 04:22 |
| wiggmpk | minuseven: no | 04:23 |
| Sorinan | dr_willis, my GRUB_CMDLINE_LINUX is blank, there's absolutely no params, and I'm running low of search keywords to put on google to find this option :P | 04:23 |
| minuseven | wiggmpk: I'm guessing you want me to tell you what it says? | 04:23 |

| phunyguy | nevermind, figured it out. I forgot to create the directory where the mounts are mounted >< | 04:25 |
| dr_willis | Sorinan: find a default /etc/grub/default file online perhaps.. or.. try the text option. i recall changeing it in that file befor | 04:25 |

| ubottu | To start your system in text-only mode append 'text' (without the quotes) to the kernel line in the grub menu. You can access the grub menu by pressing Esc (Grub legacy) or Shift (Grub2) during boot. For more info see https://help.ubuntu.com/community/BootOptions#Text%20Mode | 04:25 |

| minuseven | We did not | 04:26 |
| minuseven | Alright, what now? | 04:26 |
| wiggmpk | minuseven: what happened? | 04:26 |
| AcidRain2012 | where can i find new up to date information on using postfix as a gmail relay server? | 04:26 |

| syntroPi | minuseven, what is the output of "dpkg --print-architecture" and "dpkg --print-foreign-architectures" | 04:28 |
| minuseven | First one: amd64 | 04:28 |
| minuseven | Nothing for the second | 04:29 |
| minuseven | wiggmpk: just notifying you | 04:29 |
| wiggmpk | syntroPi: i have i386 enabled.. so i think your right bud | 04:29 |
| syntroPi | hmm wiggmpk you said you have the i368 installed right? what does "dpkg --print-foreign-architectures" print on your sys? | 04:30 |
| syntroPi | wiggmpk, minuseven : soo im just not sure if it would be "dpkg --add-architecture i386" or "dpkg --add-foreign-architecture i386" | 04:31 |
| syntroPi | maybe google helps? | 04:31 |
| wiggmpk | syntroPi: im pretty sure i386 was enabled when I installed wine or perhaps skype | 04:31 |
| minuseven | syntroPi: Ireally don't know anything about Ubuntu, just got it for a TF2 promo. | 04:31 |
| minuseven | wiggmpk: what now? | 04:33 |
| dbristow | Anybody know why just wubi.exe from mirrors.kernel.org:/ubuntu-releases/12.04.2 would fail the sha256sum check? | 04:33 |
| dbristow | The rest of the *.iso pass the check. | 04:33 |
| wiggmpk | minuseven: im just guessing at this point, but try and install ia32-libs "sudo apt-get install ia32-libs" | 04:33 |
| holyguyver | Already asked in the Trinity & Kubuntu rooms with no answer, so thought I would try in here.

| syntroPi | then? | 04:34 |
| minuseven | wiggmpk: ^ | 04:34 |
| wiggmpk | minuseven: what about "sudo apt-get install multiarch-support" | 04:34 |
| wiggmpk | syntroPi: no, I never used it... like I said it must of be installed as a dependency from something else.. | 04:35 |

| holyguyver | Anyone? | 04:36 |
| syntroPi | wiggmpk, well first which are the broken packages? on liveCD x64 quantal i did for installing skype : "dpkg --add-architecture i386" then "apt-get update" and finally "apt-get -y -f install" | 04:37 |

| holyguyver | dr_willis: A newely made user? | 04:58 |
| dr_willis | yes.. make a new user.... | 04:58 |
| dr_willis | sudo adduser billgates | 04:58 |
| holyguyver | dr_willis: What differance would that make? | 04:58 |
| dr_willis | its a test.. see if they have the same issue | 04:59 |
| holyguyver | Would I have to log out & back in to run this test? | 04:59 |
| dr_willis | if they work.. then the problem user has a setting issue's | 04:59 |
| dr_willis | yes.... | 04:59 |
| holyguyver | Then lets just pretend that the new user does have the same problem, what next? | 05:00 |
| dr_willis | then its some system config issue. | 05:00 |
| holyguyver | Indeed, it would seem that it doesn't have the list of installed software | 05:00 |
| holyguyver | As you saw in the screenshot, there was no list. | 05:01 |
| dr_willis | so you are testing with a new user? | 05:02 |
| GeorgeTirebiter | Is this the right place to ask new user questions? | 05:03 |
| holyguyver | I have changed no setting, that is for sure. | 05:03 |
| dr_willis | GeorgeTirebiter: go for it. | 05:03 |

| dr_willis | abimael: there is no all in one book. the topics are too varied | 05:04 |
| zykotick9 | GeorgeTirebiter: your missing a / | 05:05 |
| holyguyver | dr_willis: I installed Trinity, changed nothing, & had the problem, thus a new user does have the problem if I have changed nothing. | 05:05 |
| abimael | dr_willis: Any first hand suggestions as a first possible good read? | 05:05 |
| GeorgeTirebiter | I put one in there. That didn't work. So then I tried a /boot thinking that made sense. Still not happy. | 05:05 |
| GeorgeTirebiter | (same error) | 05:06 |
| zykotick9 | GeorgeTirebiter: your missing a / (i know i had a issue with this as well, it's perhaps not obvious) | 05:06 |
| dr_willis | holyguyver: confirm that a newly made user has the identical problem. ... if so its a trinty issue.. if not. clean out the problem users settings and see if the defaults work | 05:06 |
| Amelia28 | hey guys, im having some bootloader issues, what would be a good usb stick i can use to start up from to fix those kind of issues? | 05:06 |

| GeorgeTirebiter | No zykotick, it's not. | 05:07 |
| dr_willis | prove it... | 05:07 |
| holyguyver | dr_willis: You calling me a liar? | 05:07 |
| dr_willis | if true.. then see trinty support | 05:07 |
| GeorgeTirebiter | I guess I should retry? | 05:07 |
| holyguyver | dr_willis: I already went to the Trinity support room, no one responded to my question. | 05:07 |
| dr_willis | trinity is not supported here. so weve suggested about all we can. | 05:08 |
| brightknight | What is trinity? | 05:09 |
| holyguyver | dr_willis: Thank you for your time, & attention, it is appreciated (Though suggesting I am a liar is not) Thank you. | 05:09 |

| holyguyver | dr_willis: I said I have changed none of the settings, you asking me for proof that I have not, is saying that I am lying about that, thus you called me a liar. | 05:11 |
| dr_willis | holyguyver: you ararently don t want to listen to basic trouble shooting 101 advice.. and just want to argue. | 05:11 |
| tomreyn | cixelsyd: onboard | 05:11 |
| holyguyver | dr_willis: I am not trying to argue, I have not changed any settings, everything is default, that is just me being honest. | 05:12 |
| dr_willis | ive seen hundreds of times where some quirk in user ssettings break things.. and resetting back to defaults fixs them | 05:12 |
| tomreyn | cixelsyd: should be in the accessory menu | 05:12 |
| holyguyver | dr_willis: I understand that | 05:12 |
| dr_willis | the basic test to show if its a system issue or a user config issue is to spend the 30 sec to make a new user. | 05:12 |

| dr_willis | !swap | 05:14 |
| ubottu | swap is used to move unused programs and data out of main memory to make your system faster. It can also be used as extra memory if you don't have enough. See https://help.ubuntu.com/community/SwapFaq for more info | 05:14 |
| GeorgeTirebiter | !swap | 05:14 |
| holyguyver | dr_willis: I ask because I am using Trinity's Konqueror with an lxde desktop on top of Ubuntu. | 05:15 |
| tomreyn | superman: colors are a matter of your irc client. there are some non-standard ways to send text which some clients may interpret as colors, but that's usualyly disappreciated. | 05:15 |
| dr_willis | read the faq url - i think it tells how.. its not to hard | 05:15 |

| GeorgeTirebiter | thax | 05:15 |
| dr_willis | GeorgeTirebiter: you can use a swap file, or several. on differnt partions. or even have swap files and swap partions both if you want to get fancy | 05:16 |
| holyguyver | dr_willis: Does that mean I am running TriLubuntu? | 05:16 |
| GeorgeTirebiter | Do I need one with 1.5 GB of ram? it's a 35 gig HDD | 05:16 |
| dr_willis | holyguyver: i would use the term 'Frankenlinuxx' | 05:16 |
| tomreyn | GeorgeTirebiter: 1.5 GB is not that much, so you may want some awap, yes. | 05:17 |
| dr_willis | GeorgeTirebiter: depends on your needs. for 1.5 gb ram.. i would use a 1gb swap. unless you are goping to ibernate/suspend | 05:17 |
| dr_willis | then use like 1.75gb | 05:17 |
| syntroPi | dr_willis, just out of curiosity: are there any real advantages in using swap partitions today? | 05:17 |
| dr_willis | you cant hibernate to swap files.. | 05:17 |
| holyguyver | dr_willis: That is what happens when one uses Linux for 10 years I guess :p | 05:18 |
| dr_willis | and theres no need to backup swap files. | 05:18 |
| tomreyn | syntroPi: also the kernel wont kill processes when your memory runs full | 05:18 |
| GeorgeTirebiter | I'm just playing. I run OSX, Win7x64 and xp x86, I thought I'd try it out. If it's as cool as I hear, I'll make a bigger pc. | 05:18 |
| tomreyn | well not immediately | 05:18 |
| dr_willis | so a swap partion is slightly better to use then a swap file | 05:18 |
| dr_willis | GeorgeTirebiter: i dont se emuch point in using xp these days.. | 05:19 |
| isaias | I'm getting "df: warning cannot read table of mounted file systems" when installing Ubuntu on Nexus 7 while its flashing | 05:19 |
| superman | nah xp is kinda dead:( | 05:19 |
| syntroPi | dr_willis, i see that hilbernate issue i didnt know | 05:19 |
| dr_willis | isaias: you may want to ask in #ubuntu-arm | 05:19 |
| holyguyver | GeorgeTirebiter: Considering using Linux? Linux Mint, Ubuntu, & Fedora are nice distros :) . | 05:19 |
| GeorgeTirebiter | dr_willis, I also don't see much point in running OSX, but I do. | 05:19 |
| dr_willis | i will pass on OS-X also... | 05:20 |
| superman | its cold here | 05:20 |
| GeorgeTirebiter | I tried Puppy. | 05:20 |
| holyguyver | GeorgeTirebiter: Try Linux Mint :D | 05:20 |
| GeorgeTirebiter | I still use it to fix broken xp's | 05:20 |

| GeorgeTirebiter | I turned off the "away" thing like the faq warned (I think) but I'm going away to eat. Thanx for your help. | 05:23 |

| cixelsyd | dr_willis: nah it'$ not mounted a$ read only.. everything wa$ fine till dude $pilled beer on the keyboard | 05:23 |
| holyguyver | dr_willis: The point in Mint? Cinnomen & Mate are far better GUIs than Unity. | 05:23 |

| dr_willis | HUD is an amazing feature and so overlooked | 05:26 |

| Valtam | does anyone know if there is a 12.04.2 mini cd? | 05:34 |
| dr_willis | !mini | 05:35 |
| ubottu | The Minimal CD image is very small in size, and it downloads most packages from the Internet during installation, allowing you to select only those you want (the installer is like the one on the !Alternate CD). See https://help.ubuntu.com/community/Installation/MinimalCD | 05:35 |
| Guest96471 | Hi there, I'm trying to access a flash website with Firefox. I already have flash installed but the website stated flash was out of date. The website took me to Adobe's offical site where I installed the latest flash via apt. However for some unknown reason to me the problem hasn't been resolved. Anyone have any ideas as to why this is and how I might resolve this issue? | 05:35 |
| dr_willis | ive seen badly written sites say newer versins of flash are out of date Guest96471 which is sort of weird. :) | 05:36 |
| IdleOne | Valtam: I don't think so. The mini iso pulls everything from the repos anyway so that would give you the latest packages when you install. | 05:36 |
| dr_willis | what version of flash are you using. Guest96471 | 05:36 |
| Valtam | yeh IdleOne I tried that link dr_willis posted a few hours ago, still uses 3.2 kernel so I'm guessing thats for 12.04.1 | 05:37 |
| Guest96471 | dr_willis: Shockwave Flash 11.2 r202 (11.2.202.0) | 05:37 |
| IdleOne | Valtam: I guess so. I'm really not sure. | 05:37 |
| dr_willis | i got no idea what the latest flash version even is any more | 05:38 |
| CC | Hey guys I'm fairly new to linux and I'm having a problem downloading Steam | 05:38 |
| Guest96471 | dr_willis: However the site requires version 11.3 or higher. | 05:38 |
| DaemonicApathy | Latest Flash for Linux: 11.2.202.270, and probably not getting any newer. | 05:38 |
| Valtam | "Installation/MinimalCD (last edited 2012-10-21 15:20:16 by shimi-chen)" | 05:38 |
| dr_willis | CC: i belive earelier today the method was to get the steam_latest.deb and do a 'sudo dpkg -i steam.deb' or 'sudo gdebi steam.deb' | 05:38 |
| work_alkisg | With the new "LTS Hardware Enablement Stack", are both -pae and non-pae kernels supported? Or it's just always pae from now on? | 05:39 |
| === work_alkisg is now known as alkisg | ||
| DaemonicApathy | dr_willis: as of today, Steam should be in the Software Center. | 05:39 |
| dr_willis | alkisg: as of 12.10 i think theres only PAE kernels | 05:39 |
| dr_willis | DaemonicApathy: and people have been having issues with it from what ive seen the last few hours | 05:39 |
| tomreyn | Guest96471: the latest flash version there is for linux, and ever will be , is 11.2 | 05:39 |
| DaemonicApathy | dr_willis: Gotcha. Don't mind me. | 05:40 |
| CC | dr_willis: My problem isn't getting the .deb. when I try to run steam_latest.deb I get an error "Dependency is not satisfiable: libc6" | 05:40 |
| tomreyn | Guest96471: with the exception of the closed source / proprietary google chrome web browser (this is not a recommendation). | 05:40 |
| alkisg | dr_willis: so if one installs 12.04.2, and then wishes to install the (non-quantal) non-pae kernel of the stock 12.04, will he have xorg incompatibilities? | 05:40 |
| dr_willis | DaemonicApathy: and aparently all it does.. is enable its own steam repo, then installs it from the custome repo. from what ive read on the ubuntublog sites | 05:40 |
| Guest96471 | So in other words... If I want to use this website I'm going to have to use Windows or Mac? :/ | 05:40 |
| tomreyn | Guest96471: or ask them to take linux users serious, yes | 05:41 |
| dr_willis | alkisg: getting a non-pae kernel on 12.10 is doable from what ive seen some blogs say.. but going to be problematic. | 05:41 |
| Guest96471 | Tomreyn: I installed Chrome but came across the same problem. | 05:41 |
| dr_willis | alkisg: ive nevver done it. so no idea what problems. | 05:41 |
| Delux | running Ubuntu server 12.04 - fdisk still the command to use to partition a 3TB drive? | 05:41 |
| tomreyn | Guest96471: maybe you're mixing up open source chromium and closed-source chrome? | 05:41 |
| alkisg | dr_willis: no I'm still talking about 12.04, not 12.10 - so the non pae kernel there is available | 05:41 |
| alkisg | dr_willis: thanks - I'll try asking in #ubuntu-devel too | 05:41 |
| Guest96471 | Tomreyn: Highly probable... | 05:41 |
| dr_willis | alkisg: for 12.04 you got non-pae so it should be good. ;) | 05:42 |
| CC | dr_willis: My problem isn't getting the .deb. when I try to run steam_latest.deb I get an error "Dependency is not satisfiable: libc6" | 05:42 |
| dr_willis | google-chrome has its own flash.. and I think we discussed yesterday(?) that chromium-browser does NOT have its own flash. | 05:42 |
| DaemonicApathy | It should be noted, if you click on the Steam banner ad in the Software Center, it will bring you to sTeam, not the Steam game client. | 05:43 |
| dr_willis | CC: try installing it with 'sudo gdebi -i foo.deb' ? | 05:43 |
| tomreyn | Guest96471: flash has always been crap anyways, any website depending on it is very badly made. which is why most sites offer alternatives. | 05:43 |
| dr_willis | Flash sites.. Hmm. havent been to Homestarrunner in years.. :) | 05:43 |
| Guest96471 | Tomreyn: So it's HTML5 all the way from now I guess. | 05:43 |
| CC | dr_willis: That doesn't work either | 05:44 |
| dr_willis | CC: what error? | 05:44 |
| DaemonicApathy | CC: looks like you'll have to install libc6 first. | 05:44 |
| tomreyn | Guest96471: i would hope so. and it seems ot e going to be. media companies are strongly pushing for having DRM in html5 so it seems to be where things are shifting to | 05:45 |
| CC | DaemonicApathy: I've tried installing it only to get an error that I can't think of off the top of my head | 05:45 |
| dr_willis | DRM that never really works.. ;) | 05:45 |
| roger_ | Does anyone know how to run a command in gtkdialog in a new terminal session? | 05:45 |
| tomreyn | fine with me ;) | 05:45 |
| dr_willis | roger_: somthing similer to 'xterm -e newcommand' with whatever terminal app you want to use. | 05:46 |
| Delux | running Ubuntu server 12.04 - fdisk still the command to use to partition a 3TB drive? | 05:46 |
| zykotick9 | roger_: i'm not sure what you mean, but does "gnome-terminal -e foo" help? | 05:46 |
| tomreyn | zykotick9: no, use parted | 05:46 |
| dr_willis | Delux: i think parted is the prefered tool these days | 05:47 |
| roger_ | dr_willis: thanks I'll give that a try.. 1 sec | 05:47 |
| tomreyn | zykotick9: sorry this was supposed to go to Delux | 05:47 |
| CC | DaemonicApathy: The error I get ----- dr_willis: My problem isn't getting the .deb. when I try to run steam_latest.deb I get an error "Dependency is not satisfiable: libc6" | 05:47 |
| CC | Oops haha | 05:47 |
| roger_ | zykotick9: one moment | 05:47 |
| tomreyn | Delux: no, use parted | 05:47 |
| dr_willis | i think gnome-termianl uses a differnt option then the -e command.. but im not on a pc to test. ;) | 05:47 |
| CC | DaemonicApathy: This package is uninstallable Dependency is not satisfiable: libc6 | 05:47 |
| dr_willis | CC: what ubuntu version are you using? | 05:48 |
| CC | dr_willis:12.10 | 05:48 |
| dr_willis | CC: done a sudo apt-get update, sudo apt-get dist-upgrade recently? | 05:48 |
| dr_willis | libc is like a very imporntant part of the os. ;) | 05:49 |
| CC | dr_willis: About an hour or so ago, yes | 05:49 |
| CC | dr_willis: One moment I'll run the command again | 05:49 |
| Guest96471 | Is there a way to trick the site I'm using into thinking I'm using flash 11.3? | 05:49 |
| tomreyn | Guest96471: with a hex editor, yes but i am not going to guide you through this unless you already know what a hex editor is, it's quite advanced | 05:50 |
| dr_willis | Guest96471: search for some browser extensions perhaps? | 05:50 |
| CC | dr_willis: I'm getting failed to fetch errors with steam files. | 05:50 |
| dr_willis | CC: hmm that sounds like some of the repos may be down | 05:51 |
| Guest96471 | tomreyn: I've used a hex editor before on Windows. Do I quality? :P | 05:51 |
| CC | dr_willis: Any suggestions? | 05:51 |
| dr_willis | CC: not really. you could pastebin the whole output of apt-get update, and apt-get dist-upgrade for the channel to look at. | 05:52 |

| shinobi_ | Hey I am trying to locate and terminate a webserver daemon which is apparently running on my machine. Does anyone have a method I might be able to use to identify ( at least a PID ) what program is running a webserver daemon? I already tried checking the localhost on port 80 and nothing seems to be serving. It may be helpful to point out that BURP toolkit is installed as well as VMware.... I just dont know what could be running to | 05:56 |
| shinobi_ | block my development server.... | 05:56 |
| Ben64 | CC: disabling all the extra sources you added that don't work | 05:57 |
| bazhang | shinobi_, what version of ubuntu | 05:57 |
| Ben64 | CC: like how you have 12.10 but have 12.04 sources in there | 05:57 |
| shinobi_ | tor and i2p are installed but none are startin as daemons | 05:57 |
| dr_willis | i wonder if the steam ppa is getting overloaded. | 05:57 |
| Guest96471 | tomreyn: Thanks for that, looks very promising! :) | 05:57 |
| tomreyn | Guest96471: the process is as descibed in the 2nd answer (but they are editing a different file). the file you want to edit (make a backup copy or reinstall flash-player if it fails) is actually: /usr/lib/adobe-flashplugin/libflashplayer.so | 05:58 |
| Guest96471 | tomreyn: Though I'm actually not too sure now. I just ran google-chrome --allow-outdated-plugins and the site worked but not exactly. | 05:58 |
| roger_ | dr_willis: you seem a little busy.. I'll wait until it cools down in here a little | 05:58 |
| tomreyn | Guest96471: you're not supposed to do this. | 05:59 |
| roger_ | dr_willis: not very much complete documentation on gtkdialog online.. at least for dummies like me | 05:59 |
| CC | Ben64: Got rid of the steam sources. The others? | 05:59 |
| tomreyn | Guest96471: i just gave you this url to get you started with a hex editor and to know which strnig to look for. but you need to edit a different file, the NPAI flash one, not google chromes'. and you want to increase the version, not decrease it. | 06:00 |
| shinobi_ | bazhang, its a 10.04 lucid install | 06:00 |
| shinobi_ | with modified backtrack packages. Basically I installed backtrack 5 r3, added a non root account and started insntalling crap | 06:00 |
| Guest96471 | tomreyn: I fully understand. :) Thank you for that. | 06:00 |
| Ben64 | CC: the private-ppa ones? | 06:01 |
| bazhang | shinobi_, and top shows nothing out of the ordinary? | 06:01 |
| tomreyn | Guest96471: be aware that you are probably also violating the adobe license if you do so. | 06:01 |
| Guest96471 | tomreyn: I figured as much but what do they expect if they're unwilling to take us seriously? Switch to Windows? Ahaha xD | 06:01 |
| CC | Ben64: No the quantal-(xxxx)/release ones | 06:01 |
| tomreyn | Guest96471: that's a question you should ask them indeed | 06:02 |

| tasslehoff | (how) can I adjust laptop display brightness from a shell? | 06:06 |
| shinobi_ | I could just change the port my little dev server listens on but to be honest its kinda bothering me not having the knowledge to locate something which could be potentially serving up data from my system to the internet | 06:06 |
| shinobi_ | seems like there used to be an lsof command | 06:07 |
| dr_willis | !find lsof | 06:07 |
| ubottu | Found: lsof, alsoft-conf, liblsofui4 | 06:07 |
| dr_willis | !info lsof | 06:08 |
| ubottu | lsof (source: lsof): Utility to list open files. In component main, is standard. Version 4.86+dfsg-1ubuntu1 (quantal), package size 243 kB, installed size 455 kB | 06:08 |
| dr_willis | standard = installed by default i thought.. | 06:08 |
| dr_willis | i could be wrong. ;) | 06:08 |
| tomreyn | shinobi_: what makes you think something is running? | 06:09 |
| tomreyn | is something listening on poirt 80? | 06:09 |
| tomreyn | if so, sudo lsof -i :80 | 06:09 |
| shinobi_ | tomreyn, I am pretty sure whatever webserver daemon is running on my machine, its not serving to port 80. I did localhost:80 from a browser and got nothing. The only other thing I would begin to suspect would be BURP toolkit, but I remember telling it NOT to run as a daemon | 06:11 |
| shinobi_ | theres TOR and i2p .....but | 06:11 |
| tomreyn | shinobi_: what makes you think a webserver daemon is running in the first place? | 06:11 |
| shinobi_ | tomreyn, thats a good question and the answer to that is this: when I try to start up a small dev server ( apache based ) called lampp I am informed that there is already a webserver daemon running therefore my dev server cannot start | 06:12 |
| Diazo | Howdy all, was curious about 12.04.2 LTS since it got released today. I was wondering those on 12.04.1 haven't seen to got the update yet. | 06:13 |
| tomreyn | shinobi_: which port is this lampp stack trying to bind to? | 06:13 |
| no-one | mktorrent any clues on where to ask about it? | 06:13 |
| shinobi_ | tomreyn, the usual suspects are things like apache2, or any other webserver I've already gone through the basic steps of ensuring those services are currently OFF | 06:13 |
| dr_willis | Diazo: if youve done a sudo apt-get update, sudo apt-get upgrade recently. you should be up to date | 06:13 |
| dr_willis | Diazo: perhaps a sudo apt-get dist-upgrade may be neeeed | 06:13 |
| shinobi_ | tomreyn, the lampp config files are all default; therefore I assume it would be the standard port 80 | 06:13 |
| === cameronc is now known as CC | ||
| Diazo | I'll check and try that. | 06:14 |
| CC | Sorry about that OS just crashed on e | 06:14 |
| Diazo | Still shows I'm on 12.04.1 | 06:14 |
| CC | Ben64: Still here? | 06:14 |
| tomreyn | shinobi_: check its documentation. other common http ports: 443, 8000, 8080, 8443, 8081, 8001 | 06:14 |
| Diazo | dr_willis, None of those commands changed anything figures perhaps I have to wait a day. | 06:15 |
| dr_willis | Diazo: could be your mirror is not updated yet | 06:15 |
| Diazo | Probably. | 06:15 |
| Diazo | Alright no problem I'll wait a day thanks dr_willis. | 06:16 |
| dr_willis | but really - if you updated like yesterday,. i doubt if theres any large # of changes to a point release. | 06:16 |
| Diazo | :P | 06:16 |
| dr_willis | they just do the .2 or whatever iso so people can have up to date packages for clean installs | 06:16 |
| shinobi_ | i will do so..... I also just had the idea of nmapping my localhost..... mayhap that would shed some light on whats running based on an obvious port like you said | 06:16 |
| Diazo | Was just waiting to see what was in the newer kernel. | 06:16 |
| Diazo | :P | 06:16 |
| tomreyn | shinobi_: you could also run a full nmap scan on your LAN or loopback interfaces' ip addresses. sudo nmap -p 1- -sS -T5 IP_ADDRESS | 06:17 |
| CC | dr_willis: How to remove /quantal/Release ? | 06:17 |
| tomreyn | shinobi_: okay you were a tid bit faster there ;) | 06:17 |
| dr_willis | CC: what do you mean? | 06:17 |
| CC | dr_willis: It's my only remaining error when I try update | 06:17 |
| Diazo | Have a good one. :) | 06:17 |
| shinobi_ | tomreyn, thanks for that | 06:17 |
| shinobi_ | am doing now | 06:17 |

| roger_ | dr_willis: so in gtkdialog I've got this "<action>xterm -e command</action>". Which works, however xterm closes when I hit ctrl+c. I need it to stay open so that I can copy/paste from it. | 06:24 |
| flintser | CC: http://bash.cyberciti.biz/guide/Shell_Comments | 06:24 |
| bazhang | CC and by opening that file in an editor, then placing a # in front of the line YOU DONT want it to check the alteration is made | 06:24 |
| dr_willis | roger_: command && read | 06:25 |
| dr_willis | no & at the end | 06:25 |

| CC | bazhang: Well I can't change the file because apparently I don't have permissions even though I'm the only user | 06:27 |
| dr_willis | that looked like a legitimate entry to me.. | 06:27 |
| bazhang | CC sudo nano or gksudo gedit | 06:27 |
| dr_willis | you MUST use sudo rights to alter system files | 06:27 |
| roger_ | dr_willis, tomreyn: hmm both of those still close down if I hit ctrl+c | 06:27 |
| mognite | anyone at home | 06:28 |
| bazhang | mognite, whats the support issue | 06:28 |
| dr_willis | roger_: because ctrl-c sends a break to the shell. | 06:28 |
| dr_willis | not a copy/paste | 06:28 |
| mognite | do you have a general discussion channel? | 06:28 |

| dr_willis | right click. copy.. or select then middleclick | 06:29 |
| mognite | thanks | 06:29 |
| roger_ | the reason why I need ctrl+c is to stop the command from processing so it will quit moving around so I can select the data I need then copy/paste | 06:29 |
| Ben64 | ctrl+z is "stop" | 06:30 |
| dr_willis | use ctrl-s to pause it | 06:30 |
| roger_ | may I PM you dr_willis? | 06:30 |
| dr_willis | then ctrl-q to resume | 06:30 |

| BryanRuiz | I need to tell that login to log me into KDE instead of "default" | 06:43 |

| Ben64 | GeorgeTirebiter: you can only have 4 primaries though, so keep that in mind | 06:43 |
| GeorgeTirebiter | and the thing is in megabytes, so 1000 is a GB right? | 06:43 |
| syntroPi | CC hmm at least i368 is in there. ok | 06:43 |
| dr_willis | GeorgeTirebiter: a swap file can be any file on your filesystem.. its not a swap Partition. which is a special partion on the hard dislk | 06:43 |
| dr_willis | a swap partition can be a primary, or logical partition. | 06:44 |

| syntroPi | CC not sure | 06:45 |
| GeorgeTirebiter | should it be at behinning or end and what should be its mount point? | 06:45 |
| dr_willis | Delux: id use parted ro make/manage the disk. not fdisk. and its not uncommon for there to be a few mb of unused space at the front of the hd/partions for alignment purposes | 06:45 |
| syntroPi | CC have you tried installing it from ubuntu software center= | 06:46 |
| Ben64 | CC: could you pastebin this... "grep . /etc/apt/sources.list* /etc/apt/sources.list*/*" | 06:46 |
| dr_willis | for gparted - ignore fdisk. | 06:46 |
| dr_willis | oops for gpt - ignore fdisk.. dont use it | 06:46 |
| GeorgeTirebiter | and for that matter, should the main partition be at the beginning or end? | 06:46 |
| dr_willis | GeorgeTirebiter: dosent really matter much | 06:46 |
| Ben64 | GeorgeTirebiter: normally OS goes up front, and swap last, but it doesn't really affect things, unless you wanted to rearrange partitions later | 06:47 |
| GeorgeTirebiter | ok then. | 06:47 |
| fastrack | yes!! I got it to work | 06:47 |

| GeorgeTirebiter | thanx doc | 06:47 |

| fastrack | can't wait to make my cluster | 06:47 |
| GeorgeTirebiter | yeah | 06:47 |
| GeorgeTirebiter | not used to flexibility | 06:48 |
| dr_willis | if you just hit enter.. i think it will default to the eend of the hd. | 06:48 |

| Delux | it askes me again | 06:48 |
| Delux | asks | 06:48 |
| GeorgeTirebiter | k | 06:48 |
| timfrost | fastrack: if /mirror is on NFS, then the NFS server may be configured so that root at a client is NOT root on the server, and chown needs enough privilege at the server (root or owner). | 06:48 |
| dr_willis | this is in parted? or cfdisk? | 06:49 |

| James_WB | Product site (http://www.prolink2u.com/new/support/download.php?q=h9601) , although it has linux driver section, it makes no mention of the newer versions of linux, also mentions something about compiling :( | 08:51 |
| ikonia | wagle: what do you mean by modernise ? | 08:51 |
| tomreyn | _DeLa_: is your computer, the one you are rying to access the ip cam from, in the same network (in terms of ip addresses, do the first three octets match?) as the ip cam? | 08:52 |

| tomreyn | _DeLa_: also make sure your d-link router (the device you refer to as "lan switch / dlink dsl modem") is configured to allow devices within the network to communicate with each other. | 08:53 |
| wagle | meh, dont wanna get hacked, etc | 08:54 |

| mmack | Hey all! I have a question about open files... i have bigcouch running and hit the open files limit, so i went to limits.conf and raised it for root and * to a better value. My problem is that the applications hits the old limit (1024). Its ubuntu server 12.04... what have i missed? | 08:55 |
| wagle | ikonia: because I have been hacked in the past | 08:55 |
| ikonia | wagle: what ? customize 13 ? | 08:55 |
| ikonia | wagle: so, that's probably your fault rather than software | 08:55 |
| amrit | hi | 08:55 |
| wagle | ikonia: ah, found your troll line did ya? | 08:56 |
| _DeLa_ | tomreyn: I think only the 2 first octets match...192.168. - then the differ...is that the problem? concerning my "router": sorry, I really meant to say that I have a dsl modem which is attached to an ethernet switch where the rest of my network is connected to | 08:56 |

| mmack | rypervenche: It shows the correct value (50k) | 09:00 |

| rypervenche | geryon66: Why'd you send that to me? | 09:01 |
| amrit | thanks for answering.. i upgraded my system from 10.10 to 12.04 | 09:01 |
| wagle | amrit: i have no idea what a "genuine ubuntu pack" is.. i can guess that it has something to do with where you got the 12.04 install image? | 09:04 |
| _DeLa_ | re | 09:04 |
| jpds | amrit: You're going to have to give us a screenshot of the error message. | 09:04 |
| wagle | jpds: good idea | 09:05 |
| amrit | okay | 09:05 |
| tomreyn | _DeLa_: so it could be that the different networks you are in is why you cannot access the ip cam, if the ip cam is configured to not allow remote access | 09:05 |
| amrit | is there any way to access my previous error logs? | 09:05 |
| wagle | tail -50 /var/log/messages | 09:06 |
| wagle | ? | 09:06 |
| _DeLa_ | args ...brb ... | 09:06 |
| tomreyn | _DeLa_: another approach could be to reset the IP cam to vendor defaults. most devices have a way to do this in case you misconfigure them and can't get network access to them anymore. | 09:07 |
| mmack | rypervenche: hmm, nope that did not help.. still hitting the limit | 09:08 |
| rypervenche | mmack: Have you logged out/rebooted? | 09:08 |
| mmack | yep | 09:08 |

| kepler | _DeLa_: in general, routers provide addresses in a /24 block, so if you have an IP in 192.168.1.x and 192.168.2.x, they will not be able to communicate (in general). | 09:36 |
| _DeLa_ | lcabreza1: first "rfkill list" | 09:37 |
| wagle | kepler: they might decide to bounce off the stupid router that dhcp'd that | 09:37 |
| wagle | since it would be the default route | 09:38 |
| _DeLa_ | then check the number of the item you want to dis-/enable and type "rfkill block number" or "rfkill unblock number" ...as root / sudo | 09:38 |
| kepler | it shouldn't be handing stuff out in a different subnet though | 09:38 |
| wagle | yeah | 09:38 |

| Layke | So the sources.list.d/ and all of the apt repo add commands I add. | 09:57 |
| kepler | _DeLa_: are you able to ping that camera? | 09:57 |
| k1l | the PPAs get stored in the .d/ folder nowadays | 09:57 |
| Layke | apt-add-repository * and they add to sources.list.d | 09:57 |
| wagle | "ubuntu's not here, man..." | 09:58 |
| Layke | Thanks for the explaination. :) I've struggled with package management for a long time. | 09:58 |
| tomreyn | Layke: right | 09:58 |
| _DeLa_ | kepler: I just found something out...while my router lists the camera at 192.168.1.x .... according to "the internet", the default ip of the camera is 192.168.0.20 | 09:58 |
| k1l | Layke: its changed some times ago. in the old days there only was the sources.list file. now its seperated | 09:58 |
| Layke | And why have .save files? Are they just backups (I think that's what tomreyn said? ) | 09:58 |
| Layke | my dropbox.list is identical to dropbox.list.save | 09:59 |
| tomreyn | _DeLa_: The Internet is lying, always. Ask your favourite politician, they can confirm it. | 09:59 |
| kepler | _DeLa_: ok, so you can either change the IP range of your router to 192.168.0.1, and renew your lease, or set up a static route in the router | 09:59 |
| _DeLa_ | so should I set my modem LAN ip to 192.168.0.1? | 09:59 |
| _DeLa_ | ah | 09:59 |
| kepler | that is what i would do | 09:59 |
| _DeLa_ | me too ;) | 10:00 |
| kepler | you'd have to look up documentation on how to do the static route | 10:00 |
| k1l | Layke: the .save files are from the upgrade (like from 12.04 to 12.10). the PPAs get disabled while upgrading and are saved for reactivation afterwards | 10:00 |
| tomreyn | _DeLa_: i was just kidding there. where do you read what "the internet" says? | 10:00 |

| _DeLa_ | tomreyn: it's the big manual pdf, which wasn't included as a print out in the box | 10:01 |
| kepler | wagle: http://speedtest.net/result/2432981385.png | 10:01 |
| _DeLa_ | ;) | 10:01 |
| tomreyn | Layke: the .save files in /etc/apt/sources.list.d/ are indeed backup files. only files ending in .list in this directory are interpreted. | 10:01 |
| wagle | is that the png larger than the known universe? | 10:01 |
| tomreyn | _DeLa_: well then can you access it on this other IP address? | 10:02 |
| tomreyn | kepler: i bet you have high jitter, though. *something* must be wrong | 10:03 |
| _DeLa_ | tomreyn: i just tried but it seems like the modem web interface won't let me change the ip range...!? i can change it but it won't save.... | 10:04 |
| n8w | hey | 10:04 |
| n8w | for some reason, my konsole remote tab no longer shows the username and the remote dir eventhough i have defined it: (%u) %H%w | 10:04 |
| n8w | it just shows ~: bash | 10:04 |
| tomreyn | _DeLa_: i can't really help there, you'd need to talk to d-link support | 10:04 |
| kepler | tomreyn: we have a couple of 10 gig links, of course only a gig card in my workstation | 10:04 |
| tomreyn | kepler: i pity you ;-P | 10:05 |
| tomreyn | i'm surprised you found a server which could match up anyways. | 10:05 |
| _DeLa_ | brb | 10:05 |
| kepler | not sure if my boss would approve a 10 gig link to my workstation. i suppose i could | 10:06 |
| === ericab is now known as ericab_away | ||
| flintser | kepler: is that overkill or overkill? i mean for each individual workstation :) basic 7200rpm hdd cannot even write that fast | 10:07 |
| kepler | total overkill. id assume speedtests would only use RAM anyway | 10:07 |
| tomreyn | thats why they invented SSDs! ;) | 10:08 |
| dat789 | Hi! I've just got a rather fresh copy of ubuntu LTS on a new SSD drive. It's only 128 GB in size. Whenever I perform apt-get then install, it will of course fill up the SSD. How do I tell Ubuntu to use my other partition (2 TB)? | 10:08 |
| iceroot | dat789: you can not tell apt-get to install somewhere else | 10:08 |
| kepler | most of our servers are virtualized on SANs, and have 4 or 8 gig connections to them | 10:08 |
| iceroot | dat789: you have to mount the big hdd to a location where apt-get is installing files | 10:08 |
| dr_willis | dat789: ive yet to fill up my 128gb ssd with / i got /home/ mounted to a 2nd hd.. | 10:09 |
| dr_willis | dat789: you want to inssttall apps to the ssd - that way they load faster. ;) | 10:09 |
| flintser | kepler: it even says that you are 99% faster than us, i'd really like to see the last 1% ;D | 10:10 |
| dat789 | iceroot, dr_willis: ok, so the key point here is to mount to the bigger hdd | 10:10 |
| wagle | ahh.. the olde days, when we had several partitions... | 10:10 |
| dr_willis | dat789: if you want to use it.. you have to mount it somewhere. ;) yes | 10:10 |
| dr_willis | id put the swap partion on it at the very least | 10:10 |
| wagle | are there translucent file systems yet? | 10:11 |
| dr_willis | putting /home/ on it - would also be a good idea | 10:11 |
| ruslan_osmanov | Hi. How do I install libevent 2 on Ubuntu Server 12.10 debian-way? | 10:11 |
| dat789 | swap partitions... all very new concepts to me | 10:11 |
| llutz | dat789: fill up 128GB? i just installed 12.10 on a 90GB-SSD and it uses 4.2GB... | 10:11 |
| kepler | flintser: i bet it is the people who are providing us the 10 gig links, running speed tests on their workstations! | 10:11 |
| dr_willis | !swap | 10:11 |
| ubottu | swap is used to move unused programs and data out of main memory to make your system faster. It can also be used as extra memory if you don't have enough. See https://help.ubuntu.com/community/SwapFaq for more info | 10:11 |
| dr_willis | wagle: translucent? | 10:12 |
| dat789 | llutz: well, 128 GB, yes.... installation of Ubuntu was allocated 40GB. the remaining is running Windows | 10:12 |
| dr_willis | 40gb for / and /home and swap on the 2gb - would be decentr | 10:12 |
| wagle | dr_willis: http://www.cs.duke.edu/csl/docs/sysadmin_course/sysadm-67.html or the like | 10:13 |
| dat789 | dr_willis: ok, I'd need to find out how to do the swap partition | 10:13 |
| === ericab_away is now known as ericab | ||
| dr_willis | the installer most likely made one on the ssd allready | 10:13 |
| dr_willis | which isent really optimal. but shouldent really matter much | 10:14 |
| dr_willis | untill you run out of hd space. ;P | 10:14 |
| wagle | oh here ya go: http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/UnionFS | 10:14 |
| flintser | kepler: if there was enough seeds you could download ubuntu dvd in less than 10 seconds | 10:15 |
| dr_willis | theres several overlaying type fs's out for linux i recall.. not used them much. | 10:15 |
| dr_willis | I even recall a similer thing on my amiga... years and years ago. ;) | 10:15 |
| dr_willis | it was so ahead of its time. ;P | 10:15 |
| wagle | flintser: i downloaded ubuntu oversized CDROM (13) in about 2-3 minutes | 10:16 |
| dr_willis | 12.10+ is a dvd image now. ;) | 10:16 |
| wagle | i decided to see what 13 was | 10:16 |
| dr_willis | I think lubuntu 12.10 still fits on cd. | 10:16 |
| tomreyn | i think mini.iso still fits on cd, too | 10:17 |
| wagle | yeah, it does, my crash box installed 12.10 from a livecd | 10:17 |
| dat789 | how about... downloading files from web browser that goes directly to the 40GB ssd ? i mean, I don't want it to do that... but rather save the file(s) to the bigger hdd? I guess an option is to let it do that, then do s sudo mv downloaded_file to newlocation_with_Bigger_HDD | 10:17 |
| flintser | but on full speed (70-80 mb/sec) youd bet it in 10 seconds, wagle | 10:17 |
| dr_willis | dat789: you can set your /home/ on the other hd. | 10:18 |
| wagle | flintser: hahaha | 10:18 |
| dr_willis | no need to use sudo to move user files noirmally | 10:18 |
| dat789 | dr_willis: Thanks Dr.! And others... | 10:18 |
| dr_willis | you could mount the other hd to /home/username/Download if you wanted to... | 10:18 |
| dr_willis | or link it to there | 10:19 |
| tomreyn | dat789: you should read up on "symbolic links", too | 10:19 |
| tomreyn | ...unless you're alread yinto this concept | 10:19 |
| wagle | i hear apple has a caching file system that uses the ssd as a cache (or somesuch) of the larger slow spinning thing) | 10:19 |
| dat789 | tomreyn: yup, i know a little on symbolic links --- ln -s fi fo | 10:19 |
| _DeLa_ | re... | 10:20 |
| tomreyn | dat789: cool, just wanted to make sure | 10:20 |
| _DeLa_ | kepler: trying to ping the ip cam where the router says it is, I get: | 10:20 |
| kepler | use pastebin | 10:20 |
| dat789 | tomreyn: not a problem. that's why i like #ubuntu. :) | 10:20 |
| tomreyn | :) | 10:20 |
| wagle | could put everything on the big disk, and cache current stuff on the ssd | 10:21 |
| wagle | with some unionfs magic.. maybe | 10:22 |
| flintser | dat789: you can set the folder where the downloads go from the browser if you want | 10:22 |
| _DeLa_ | kepler: ... it's really short... : ping 192.168.1.4 | 10:22 |
| _DeLa_ | PING 192.168.1.4 (192.168.1.4) 56(84) bytes of data. | 10:22 |

| WHATWHATWHAT | anyone know | 10:23 |
| dr_willis | why do you think you need to | 10:23 |
| WHATWHATWHAT | or any video player that can be installed offline ? | 10:23 |

| WHATWHATWHAT | yes i know vlc can play flv | 10:24 |
| tomreyn | mplayer, too, i think | 10:24 |
| dr_willis | flv vidoes can be converted to other formats also... its just a container. | 10:24 |
| WHATWHATWHAT | even the default player can play flv | 10:25 |
| dr_willis | theres no flv 'codec' itss a container that can be differnt codecs last i looked | 10:25 |

| dr_willis | id just run a cable then install what i needed.. offline is so.... 1980's | 10:30 |
| dr_willis | ;-) | 10:30 |
| Ben64 | yeah i can't comprehend a computer that is unable to connect to the internet | 10:30 |
| vzion | .... | 10:30 |
| kepler | _DeLa_: and you couldn't change it to 192.168.0.1? if it said you couldn't save it, you may have to change the DHCP range it gives as well. not sure how the config goes for it | 10:30 |
| vzion | wow you people are so short sighted | 10:31 |
| dr_willis | and vague..... or was that someone else. | 10:32 |
| WHATWHATWHAT | how come the file is 1m ? | 10:33 |
| WHATWHATWHAT | how can a player be that small | 10:33 |
| _DeLa_ | kepler: i tried to ...no luck...well...i will keep trying and come back later to let you know how it went...thanks to kepler and tomreyn! cu guys | 10:33 |
| Ben64 | it just plays stuff | 10:33 |
| dr_willis | most likely it has depencicies | 10:33 |
| kepler | _DeLa_: looking at the manual, looks like you need to set the IP of 192.168.0.1, subnet mask 255.255.255.0, then "enable dhcp server" and set starting addr to 192.168.0.2, ending 192.168.0.254 | 10:34 |
| kepler | it wouldn't let you set just the IP without fixing the dhcp lease addrs | 10:34 |
| kepler | i assume! | 10:34 |

| Naphatul | cfhowlett, i don't want to reinstall it i just want it to get newer version packages | 11:21 |
| jrib | Naphatul: so install update-manager. Here: https://help.ubuntu.com/community/QuantalUpgrades | 11:21 |
| Naphatul | can't it be done from apt? | 11:22 |
| jrib | Naphatul: not supported. Update-manager is how upgrades between releases are done on ubuntu | 11:22 |
| Fuzzles | with steam i try to run TF2 but get an error saying update open gl? | 11:22 |

| jrib | Naphatul: I don't understand why you refuse to use update-manager, but ok. | 11:33 |
| jrib | Naphatul: if you are going to do what cfhowlett suggests, skip the "apt-get upgrade" part | 11:34 |
| Naphatul | jrib, i installed with the minimal iso so i get only the stuff i need and want, the update manager is always annoying popping up in my face, especially after i run update after adding another repository | 11:34 |
| jrib | Naphatul: so follow the server instructions and install only update-manager-core | 11:35 |

| agu10^ | nope. | 12:17 |
| ikonia | agu10^: no, I'm not, however the error was the sudo error, not the apache log | 12:17 |

| flintser | why not just build own server from some old crappy laptop or desktop... i ran lamp+ftp+ssh from an old IBM t40 with debian for a long time and never had a problem ;D | 12:26 |
| ikonia | gregory58: you are using a vps - that changes things | 12:26 |
| ikonia | gregory58: I don't know what it's changed, and they have clearly removed the repos for a reason, which is why I suggest talking to them | 12:26 |
| dr_willis | craigbass1976: the imagemagick tools perhaps an give out the info. or the file command might | 12:27 |

| ikonia | gregory58: sorry, that read like "there is no repository" | 12:33 |
| steelnwool | which.. i guess makes sense. perhaps i'll put LTS on the java and oracle servers and non-lts everywhere else. | 12:33 |
| steelnwool | actually keep rhel for oracle. cause i want support. :) but yeah. | 12:33 |
| steelnwool | ok | 12:33 |

| SAngeli | Hi, I have a ubuntu server and web server is running. I recall when installing it that I selected LAMP but do not know if it is all installed. I run a simple info.php file and I do not get anything on the browser. How to know what is installed and what needs to be installed? | 12:34 |
| gregory58 | ikonia: Again, thanks for the help though.... | 12:34 |
| steelnwool | ikonia: yeah, see above note. i'll leave oracle on rhel. | 12:34 |
| emarnau | does anyone know if how to stop synaptic uninstalling other package when i have to uninstall a borken package that other application have a dependacy on/ | 12:34 |
| ikonia | emarnau: it has to remove things that depend on it | 12:34 |
| steelnwool | SAngeli: start by looking at the source of the info.php file thru the browser see if it is being parsed or not. | 12:34 |
| steelnwool | then use dpkg to see if php is installed or not. | 12:35 |
| emarnau | ikonia: thanks | 12:35 |
| emarnau | this is the exact problem a have but the solution seems a bit much | 12:35 |
| emarnau | http://askubuntu.com/questions/131791/qt-4-packages-create-dependency-problems | 12:35 |
| SAngeli | steelnwool, the file is noto parsed meaning I do not see the output I should though php is installed | 12:36 |
| emarnau | like uninstalling 20 applications | 12:36 |
| steelnwool | SAngeli: how are you sure php is installed? | 12:36 |
| steelnwool | and perhaps you need to restart apache | 12:36 |
| flintser | SAngeli: maybe try to install apache2 mysql-server php5 php5-mysql and see the output? if they install you have lamp at the end, if they dont, you still have lamp | 12:36 |
| SAngeli | steelnwool, dpkg --get-selections | grep php | 12:36 |
| steelnwool | cool. restart apache and try. | 12:36 |
| steelnwool | and if not, perhaps your php config lines aren't being pulled into apache conf. | 12:36 |
| SAngeli | steelnwool, I thought I would just run sudo apt-get install lamp-serve and this would have taken care of the entire install. | 12:37 |
| flintser | SAngeli: run "sudo apt-get install apache2 mysql-server php5 php5-mysql | 12:38 |

| SAngeli | flintser, but I get the "It works!" message when I browse the server | 12:45 |
| amrit | it dint help | 12:45 |
| flintser | SAngeli: create info.php with that inside it and place it in /var/www, then check permissions to 755, then go 127.0.0.1/info.php | 12:45 |
| flintser | or localhost/info.php | 12:45 |
| flintser | "It works" is the default index.html that apache generates in /var/www | 12:46 |

| flintser | SAngeli: i created a user called web and chowned /var/www, i dont know if that is the correct way to do it but it works for me. for phpmyadmin i did mysql database called phpmyadmin and user called phpmyadmin, then all permissions on database to phpmyadmin. then i downloaded phpmyadmin and extracted it into /var/www/phpmyadmin so i can just go localhost/phpmyadmin to open the admin page | 12:50 |

| ubottu | LTS means Long Term Support. LTS versions of Ubuntu will be supported for 3 years on the desktop, and 5 years on the server; with the exception of 12.04 (Precise Pangolin), which will be supported for 5 years on the desktop. The current LTS version of Ubuntu is !Precise (Precise Pangolin 12.04) | 13:03 |

| cfhowlett | Noorideen, probably not, but be aware that lubuntu and xubuntu are both optimized for older/low spec machines. Also, you might want to adopt LTS only (12.04) installs as those tend to work better on legacy devices. | 13:07 |

| c0mputer | jrib, i havent changed anything for weeks | 13:43 |
| ubuntuw1204 | ubuntu 12.04 or ubunu 120110 | 13:44 |
| jrib | ubuntuw1204: what? | 13:44 |
| c0mputer | might have installed mongod or something... | 13:44 |
| vfw | c0mputer: not supposed to be any dates in it | 13:44 |
| lcabreza1 | anybody has an idea about t his error : ERROR: setattr(70) not allowed on the r | 13:44 |
| lcabreza1 | oot inode, Linux/ocfsmain.c, 3404 | 13:44 |
| ubuntuw1204 | jrib: should i update regularly every 6 months i.e. do i use 12.04 or .12.10? | 13:45 |
| vfw | c0mputer: The date for dmesg will be in the output of ls -l /var/log/dmesg | 13:45 |
| jrib | ubuntuw1204: if you stay on LTS releases (12.04 is one) you can stay on it for 2 years and then upgrade to the next LTS release. With non-LTS, you generally want to upgrade every 6 months (though you have support for 18 months) | 13:46 |
| jValentin | g'day all | 13:46 |
| vfw | c0mputer: How long since the last reboot? | 13:46 |
| tomreyn | c0mputer: do you have /var/log/boot.log ? | 13:46 |
| ubuntuw1204 | jrib: which is better? | 13:46 |
| jrib | ubuntuw1204: it's up to you; both are good. If you don't want to upgrade for a while, go with 12.04 LTS. If you want newer software, go with 12.10 | 13:47 |
| ubuntuw1204 | is any one here using gnome 2 on ubuntu 12.10? | 13:47 |
| raub | ubuntuw1204: for a server you do want LTS | 13:47 |
| c0mputer | vfw, dmesg shows Feb 1 ... | 13:47 |
| c0mputer | vfw, idk how long since last reboot | 13:47 |
| c0mputer | tomreyn yes | 13:47 |
| raub | worst thing that happened to me was having a server on non-LTS and then realizing the release was no longer supported | 13:47 |
| ubuntuw1204 | jrib: which is more secure? | 13:47 |
| c0mputer | boot.log shows feb 1 too... | 13:47 |
| vfw | c0mputer: Sound like Feb 1 was last reboot. | 13:47 |
| ubuntuw1204 | raub: which is more secure | 13:47 |
| jrib | ubuntuw1204: both are equally secure. Both get security updates during their support period | 13:48 |
| c0mputer | sounds reasonable | 13:48 |
| raub | ubuntuw1204: It depends on what you define as secure | 13:48 |
| ubuntuw1204 | raub: i dont use server i use it on laptop | 13:48 |
| c0mputer | so how do i troubleshoot remove boot issues if there are no logs, lol. | 13:48 |
| c0mputer | remote* | 13:48 |
| raub | The do the usual laptop crap: encrypt disk, no sshd, etc | 13:49 |
| vfw | c0mputer: Are you sure this system is really booting? (Maybe it's booting to a CD or USB or...?) | 13:49 |
| jrib | c0mputer: your VPS provider doesn't give you some way to connect to your machine when you don't boot it through recovery without using ssh? | 13:49 |
| c0mputer | vfw, its a vps.net cloud server so i would hope so | 13:49 |
| c0mputer | jrib, it does | 13:49 |
| c0mputer | jrib, thats how i'm on it now. | 13:49 |
| raub | c0mputer: anything insteresting in dmesg perhaps? | 13:49 |
| c0mputer | jrib, recovery cosnole man. | 13:49 |
| vfw | c0mputer: Oh, sorry forgot | 13:49 |
| coz_ | hey guys, 12.04 and previous I was able to use this command ` python -c "import gtk; gtk.recent_manager_get_default().purge_items()"` to clear recent documen ts. it no longer works on 12.10, or 13.04..anyone have a differnt command for this? | 13:49 |
| c0mputer | raub, nothing particular. some iptables deny and thats it | 13:49 |
| jrib | c0mputer: you said you were booting recovery mode. Is that not true? | 13:50 |
| tomreyn | c0mputer: what does df -h say? | 13:50 |
| c0mputer | jrib, i am using the browser based recovery console to access the VPS in recovery mode. | 13:50 |
| c0mputer | jrib, i don't think i can be more clear than that | 13:50 |
| jrib | c0mputer: ok, maybe you misunderstood my question. Can't you boot the machine as normal (i.e. not recovery mode) and get a console on the machine? | 13:51 |
| Totentag | Ctrl+Scroll to rescale Firefox on Windows. Is there a quick shortcut to do so on Ubuntu? I haven't found it. | 13:51 |
| c0mputer | jrib, nope. | 13:52 |

| c0mputer | its some java based vpn thing if that matters | 13:52 |
| BluesKaj | ctrl - , ctrl+ . Totentag | 13:52 |
| Totentag | Thanks, Blues. | 13:52 |
| c0mputer | jrib, actually... now i can. | 13:53 |
| vfw | Totentag: Ctrl-0 ? | 13:53 |
| c0mputer | da fuqqq | 13:53 |
| c0mputer | problem fixed itself? fuck the cloud. | 13:53 |
| c0mputer | yep. i can totally ssh in now, no problems. -_- | 13:53 |
| BluesKaj | c0mputer, watch the language please | 13:54 |
| vfw | Totentag: Ctrl + bigger Ctrl - smaller Ctrl 0 reset | 13:54 |
| Totentag | I've always been more bothered by a problem fixing itself then me not finding a solution at all... | 13:54 |
| c0mputer | yeah i'm not thrilled about it | 13:54 |
| ubuntuw1204 | raub: i have a dell vostro laptop will upgrading every 6 months be ok will the newer kernel version suport this laptop? | 13:55 |
| Skyrid3r | Hia everyone | 13:55 |
| codephobic | Hi, I'm having a strange problem with gedit, within Ubuntu 12 (I've not managed to replicate the problem in debian squeeze), where if I create a css file and try to create a rule for P {}, as soon as I place the cursor within the {} and press TAB, the application crashes and I have to start again. | 13:55 |
| vfw | c0mputer: what was the report from nmap while it was broken? | 13:56 |
| codephobic | I suspect it is a conflict with some auto-complete plugin, but I don't really know. | 13:56 |
| jValentin | I have a computer that is now giving me the grub bootloader, where it wasn't doing this previously. Is there any reason this would start doing this suddenly? | 13:56 |
| === iber is now known as styxlt | ||
| jrib | codephobic: you should say "12.04" or "12.10". Even better, you should mention the version of gedit | 13:56 |
| === wcchandl1r is now known as wcchandler | ||
| codephobic | jrib, ubuntu 12.10, default gedit version with auto-complete and bracket matching plugins | 13:57 |
| c0mputer | vfw, workstations here at work are windows | 13:57 |
| vfw | jValentin: What was it doing previously (if it wasn't giving you the grub bootloader)? | 13:57 |
| vfw | c0mputer: o | 13:57 |
| jrib | c0mputer: did you try disabling the plug-ins? Try running gedit from a shell and see if there's interesting output? | 13:57 |
| jrib | oops | 13:57 |
| jrib | codephobic: did you try disabling the plug-ins? Try running gedit from a shell and see if there's interesting output? | 13:57 |
| jValentin | vfw: it was just booting up to the login screen | 13:57 |
| vfw | !grub | jValentin | 13:58 |

| Eagleman | When i am making a snapshot of my guest OS with libvirt create snapshot, it takes about a few minutes ti complete when the system is offline. This used to take about 3 seconds max. Any idea why it is so slow? | 13:58 |
| jValentin | I don't use this computer, so I'm not sure if anything was installed or messed with to change the default behavior. I do prefer to just hide the grub bootloader menu and just defaault to the first option. | 13:59 |
| tomreyn | Eagleman: what are you using for storing the VMs? files? LVs? | 13:59 |
| termospullo_ | hey guys any suggestions, should I go with ubuntu and install cinnamon, or mint | 13:59 |
| vfw | termospullo_: What? | 14:00 |
| Eagleman | tomreyn, qcow2 | 14:00 |
| Skyrid3r | I've been trying to install ubuntu for the past 2 hours | 14:00 |
| Skyrid3r | I failed doing so.. | 14:00 |
| jrib | termospullo_: try both and use what you prefer | 14:00 |
| vfw | termospullo_: I recommend xubuntu or lubuntu but the choice is yours. | 14:00 |
| Skyrid3r | Wubi Startup Error, wubildr.mbr File Missing | 14:01 |
| Skyrid3r | Wubi is not exactly, good.. is it.. :-\ | 14:01 |
| tomreyn | Eagleman: is the file system the image files are stored on roughly 90% (or more) full? | 14:01 |
| termospullo_ | well I tried mint and had some problems with nvidia drivers, any change that ubuntu might have better hw support | 14:01 |
| Skyrid3r | I see multiple people having issues with it | 14:01 |
| Eagleman | tomreyn 50% | 14:01 |
| tomreyn | Skyrid3r: better use virtualbox and run ubuntu in a VM | 14:01 |
| vfw | termospullo_: And the main reason I recommend xubuntu or lubuntu is that it takes less resources to run them. lubuntu being the least | 14:01 |
| Eagleman | tomreyn, not sure when the snapshot is going | 14:01 |
| Skyrid3r | I already have tomreyn .. Though I prefer speed atm.. | 14:01 |
| Skyrid3r | VM is rather, slowish. | 14:01 |
| Skyrid3r | I just like to install Ubuntu on my External HDD. | 14:02 |
| Skyrid3r | Doesn't matter if I format the partition in EX3... It still won't detect it, besides the whole hdd.. rather than the partition. | 14:02 |
| Skyrid3r | **EXT3 | 14:02 |
| k1l | wubi :( | 14:02 |
| === jack is now known as Guest55409 | ||
| Skyrid3r | I just want to install Ubuntu as dual boot :p | 14:03 |
| Skyrid3r | Is that so hard to ask ^^ | 14:03 |
| k1l | Skyrid3r: no need for wubi then | 14:03 |
| vfw | Skyrid3r: You need partitions, (at least two). ext4 is my recommendation for fs type | 14:03 |
| === Nomad__ is now known as Guest79729 | ||
| Skyrid3r | Yea, the partition manager I used only had ext3.. so I used that :p | 14:03 |
| tomreyn | Eagleman: so ext* becomes slow then the file system is getting full. other possible reasons: high load, likely I/O or CPU by the time you are snapshotting. failing hardware (HDD). | 14:03 |
| Skyrid3r | but for some reason the ubuntu installation only found the entire hdd. | 14:03 |
| Skyrid3r | Of which, I didn't want. | 14:03 |
| k1l | termospullo_: mint uses own handling with drivers and stuff. so better ask them for mint specific issues | 14:03 |
| vfw | Skyrid3r: And I agree with k1l, on a regular install rather than wubi | 14:04 |
| Skyrid3r | If wuby is having so many issues, why is it on the front page | 14:04 |
| Skyrid3r | Just curious. | 14:04 |
| k1l | Skyrid3r: its for making windows users an easy testing possibility | 14:04 |
| Eagleman | tomreyn, cpu is idle most of the time, it looks the snapshot is written to a 80% full SSD, this should be going very fast | 14:04 |
| diverdude | Whenever i need to do a sudo task i need to write password. I made a stupid mistake to use my personal password on a machine which others will be using, so I was hoping i could somehow change the sudo password. Is that possible, and how? | 14:05 |
| vfw | Skyrid3r: We did not say that wubi was having some issues. | 14:05 |
| Skyrid3r | You can't test something that doesn't work properly though. | 14:05 |
| k1l | Skyrid3r: make a real install from live-usb or live-cd | 14:05 |
| Skyrid3r | That's the thing k1l | 14:05 |

| jrib | diverdude: the password is just your user's password. Change your user's password | 14:05 |
| Skyrid3r | It only detects the entire HDD | 14:05 |
| Skyrid3r | I want to install it on a specific partition | 14:05 |
| Skyrid3r | not format my HDD. | 14:05 |
| k1l | Skyrid3r: wubi ist for installing into the windows. it doesnt install anywhere than that | 14:05 |
| Skyrid3r | Either way, I'll be back a bit later, thanks. have to go outside for a bit | 14:06 |
| vfw | Skyrid3r: Don't use Enter for puncuation. | 14:06 |
| jrib | diverdude: but why do you want to change it? Are you going to give others your password? Why don't you just create their own user accounts? | 14:06 |
| k1l | Skyrid3r: so use a live-cd or -usb for installing on external hdd. | 14:06 |
| tomreyn | Eagleman: so investigate the other possible issues. also if the 80% is before the image was written and when the image is done it's at 97% then this can be why. | 14:06 |
| diverdude | jrib, aha, so just passwd myusername ? | 14:07 |
| Noorideen | "dir -r | more" what does this command do? | 14:07 |

| codephobic | jrib, just tried out the shell suggestion - http://pastebin.com/zFddSWg6 | 14:09 |
| jrib | codephobic: you disabled the plug-ins? | 14:10 |
| codephobic | jrib, I'll try that now. | 14:11 |
| codephobic | jrib, it's definitely a plugin issue. I disabled all the plugins and there was no crash when I repeated my steps. | 14:13 |
| jrib | codephobic: now figure out which one, then go look for a new version of it. If it doesn't exist either find an alternative, give up on the plug-in, or fix it :) | 14:13 |
| codephobic | jrib, I'll try enabling them, one-by-one, see if it's specific to a plugin or just to something that a few are built-upon | 14:13 |
| jrib | codephobic: use binary search! | 14:14 |

| ubuntuw1204 | mhsbec: bye | 14:22 |
| ubuntuw1204 | Pici: yes i actually i never did see any diff, so why 64 bit is there? | 14:25 |
| Pici | ubuntuw1204: Because not all computers support 64 bits. And you can't use more than 4 GB of RAM (properly) with 32 bits. | 14:25 |
| emarnau2 | nice | 14:25 |
| nibbler | Pici: 4GB limit is not true, due to PAE which is available for decades (feels like) | 14:26 |
| Pici | nibbler: Thats why I said 'properly' PAE still restricts you to 4GB per process. | 14:26 |
| zykotick9 | nibbler: PAE is a "hack"... | 14:26 |
| nibbler | but it used to be a very helpfull hack.... no doubt on the hackiness itself. but "32bit OS can only do 4GB" is wrong. | 14:27 |

| ubottu | ubuntuw1204: Usually, there is no single "best" application to perform a given task. It's up to you to choose, depending on your preferences, features you require, and other factors. Do NOT take polls in the channel. If you insist on getting people's opinions, ask BestBot in #ubuntu-bots. | 14:49 |
| tcrouto | ubuntunub: if you are logged in as your normal user, saving in your home folder will work | 14:49 |
| nibbler | ubuntuw1204: it usuall is a tradeoff between more recent software vs. more tested software..... | 14:49 |
| histo | maslen: In which package? | 14:49 |

| maslen | histo: Not yet. I'm interested in getting a CVE, and since I don't know the procedure, I wasn't sure if that would be considered a 'public release' that would disqualify it. | 14:53 |
| maslen | (I am really, really new to this. Can you tell?) | 14:53 |
| SolarisBoy | you can't downgrade/upgrade kernels but you can install and remove them, and you can choose which kernel to use of installed ones at boot time | 14:54 |
| nibbler | YokoBR: nah, its easier, just patch the sources, give me a second | 14:54 |

| tcrouto | dfgh: ah, i read that wrong. yes the owner of the folder should be able to modify files. but i think when you echo like you are doing, the echo "string" > file command is overwriting the contents of the file, not editing the file like in vim. | 15:31 |

| BluesKaj | if you want a permanent install the dual boot is the way , VM is ok , but I've never cared for it , too many glitches , yourimym1 | 15:48 |

| Chanshark | what about just running it off a live cd | 15:49 |
| Chanshark | over time would that mess up the cd | 15:49 |

| tomreyn | Chanshark: the installer won't overwrite your existing partitions unless you ask it to do so. whether you want to run ubuntu for testing (live cd / virtual machine / wubi) or make a bare metal installation (dual-boot or removing the previous system) is also up to you. | 15:50 |
| BluesKaj | err a response | 15:50 |
| nibbler | drmagoo: there is no easy way.... but with a second harddisk (usb etc) it can be done quiet easily if you know your way round linux | 15:51 |

| tomreyn | Chanshark: which distribution was it, what did you try to do then, and what does "bricked up my hdd" mean, did the HDD break physically to the point you needed to dump it)? | 15:52 |
| BluesKaj | , time to push some snow ...BBL | 15:53 |
| nibbler | drmagoo: just with cp instead of dd. oh, and if you use loop-aes there is online-encrytion for this http://loop-aes.sourceforge.net/loop-AES.README | 15:53 |
| nibbler | drmagoo: but this needs way more work, so a place to copy your files to is usually easier. anyway: normally its enough to backup /home, /root and /etc, reinstall, copy back /home and /root and on a per-file basis (if at all) /etc | 15:54 |

| nibbler | YokoBR: the fglrx-legacy? so your ubuntu boots up fine, but then it turns black? at what point? | 15:56 |

| Delux | when I try to load Ubuntu Server on a new multiple drive system it keeps trying to load the GRUB loader on sda. It is better to just load the OS on sda to avoid problems or can I point it to another drive or even a USB flash drive? | 15:57 |
| YokoBR | nibbler, at login screen. I did that dpkg-reconfigure fglrx-legacy | 15:57 |
| Chanshark | also tomreyn also i think another problem i had with ubuntu was that my wireless adapter does not work on it | 15:57 |
| nibbler | YokoBR: (no)paste full output | 15:57 |
| drmagoo | nibbler > the problem is that /home and another folder is already setup as diffrent encrypted partitions. I'm also using mdadm for softraid.. so in order for mdadm to load on boot I had to leave root unencrypted... | 15:58 |
| tomreyn | Chanshark: try whether it works on live cd / usb | 15:58 |
| drmagoo | nibbler > I want to correct that now | 15:58 |
| Chanshark | tomreyn: i know it does not work because i tried to get it to work when i was duel booting with ubuntu | 15:59 |
| YokoBR | nibbler, one does not simply paste's his output since his screen is black. | 16:00 |
| nibbler | drmagoo: if you have multiple partitions, given that / usually is just a few GB in size, it should be quiet easy to accomplish, i can give you a rough walk throu if you want... but it will require some knowledge on linux on your side | 16:00 |
| nibbler | YokoBR: it turned black while/right after the dpkg-reconfigure? | 16:01 |
| YokoBR | nibbler, nope, after reboot | 16:01 |
| drmagoo | nibbler > I like to think that I have that ;) so please go ahead... you can privmsg if you like | 16:01 |
| YokoBR | nibbler, dpkg-reconfigure went right, no error messages | 16:01 |
| tomreyn | Chanshark: then try to get help here on making the wireless work, and then go for dual-boot again, i'd say. see you later, i need to leave. | 16:02 |
| YokoBR | nibbler, i'll get into recovery mode and do an "aticonfig --f --initial | 16:02 |

| Chanshark | well what i have been told is to get a different wireless adapter | 16:03 |
| nibbler | drmagoo: 1. MAKE BACKUPS!!11!... then... boot from usb stick/cd, so you can wreck your partition. decrypt/mount your partitions somewhere under /mnt. use df -h to find some space to dump the files of /. so go cp -ax /mnt/rootfs /mnt/spare-or-partially-empty-partition. by now you have a backup, so you reconfigure your / to be encrypted (umount, cryptsetup, mkfs, mount) make sure to have a small partition in cleartext for /boot. then | 16:04 |
| nibbler | copy back the files, cp -ax /mnt/backupfoo/rootfs/ /mnt/cryptedroot. move the files from /boot to the new partition you use for that. make some entries to /etc/crypttab and run initramfs-update -u -k all to regenerate the initramfs to include decryption support. | 16:04 |
| nibbler | YokoBR: also investigate on /var/log/Xorg.*.log | 16:05 |

| Delux | so running Ubuntu from a flash drive not advisable? | 16:16 |
| tgm4883 | Delux, I think you're confusing what the purpose of the grub boot loader is | 16:17 |
| tgm4883 | Delux, when your computer boots, it looks for a boot loader on the first drive (SDA) | 16:17 |
| tgm4883 | Delux, so if you want to boot Ubuntu on your flash drive, the bootloader on your computer will need to know about it somehow | 16:17 |
| ImTheDude | hello | 16:18 |
| tgm4883 | Delux, since AFAIK, the windows boot loader doesn't do Linux, you'll need to install Grub as your boot loader | 16:18 |

Unity however works perfectly when i start it manually after the desktop is loaded and it should've start already. | 16:18 |

| teleyinex | Hi everyone | 16:30 |
| Skyrid3r | Windows is already installed :p | 16:30 |
| teleyinex | I'm going to install Ubuntu to my mac | 16:30 |
| Skyrid3r | Now It's ubuntu. | 16:30 |
| teleyinex | and I'm hesitating: 32 or 64 bits? | 16:30 |
| teleyinex | what do you recommend? | 16:30 |
| Ben64 | if it supports 64, 64 | 16:31 |
| Skyrid3r | I however, have a few issues installing Ubuntu.. It only detects my entire HDD, rather than partition. | 16:31 |
| teleyinex | Ben64, it supports 64 | 16:31 |
| teleyinex | :-) | 16:31 |
| Skyrid3r | My system supports 64 but I use 32B (Windows)... :p | 16:31 |
| Skyrid3r | I dislike software/driver issues with 64b. | 16:31 |
| teleyinex | but I was thinking about mplayer and flash | 16:31 |
| teleyinex | Skyrid3r, that's my question | 16:31 |
| teleyinex | nvidia drivers | 16:31 |
| wiggmpk | teleyinex: how much ram do you have? | 16:31 |
| Guest11358 | I have two books, one is called Practical UNIX & internet security (third edition ), and the other is the o'reilly Linux in a nutshell (4th edition), could anyone tell me if they're still of any relevance, or if such systems have moved on to make all the technologies in the book obsolete, as they're relatively old books | 16:31 |

| teleyinex | well, I think I'm going to try 64 | 16:32 |
| Skyrid3r | Haven't figured out what is causing it yet, but I'm good with 32b. | 16:32 |
| Ben64 | we're talking about ubuntu 64 bit | 16:32 |
| wiggmpk | teleyinex: i would use 64B, if you ever go over 4GB of RAM you'll need 64bit | 16:32 |
| teleyinex | use it a while and if I feel something strange go back to 32 :-) | 16:32 |
| teleyinex | I know | 16:32 |
| teleyinex | but that'll not be a problem | 16:32 |
| teleyinex | hehe | 16:32 |
| Ben64 | Skyrid3r: pastebin "sudo fdisk -l" | 16:32 |

| teleyinex | how stable are they? | 16:34 |
| teleyinex | I mean, how stable is right now 13.04 | 16:34 |
| teleyinex | I know is not even in alpha | 16:34 |
| Skyrid3r | Oddly enough though.. when I cancel the installation it goes to the live version of ubuntu. | 16:34 |
| Ben64 | teleyinex: you just answered your own question | 16:34 |
| Skyrid3r | All the partitions it sees there (left menu), won't open. | 16:34 |
| wiggmpk | teleyinex: the word alpha should imply instability | 16:34 |
| DJones | teleyinex: You're better asking that in #ubuntu+1 which is the support channel for unreleased versions | 16:34 |
| teleyinex | well, I use Aurora everyday without problems :-) | 16:34 |

| smarat | thanks. | 16:57 |
| albivian | anyone? | 16:58 |

| === nobodyhome is now known as oenahs | ||
| nibbler | albivian: so its set to get an ip via dhcp automatically | 16:59 |
| jhutchins_wk | albivian: unmanaged means it's configured in interfaces and not manaaged by network-manager. | 17:00 |
| nibbler | albivian: touse network manager, remove/comment all lines mentioning eth0 (and corresponding blocks) | 17:00 |
| Scientist_ | Can anybody see my problem, please? | 17:01 |

| jhutchins_wk | albivian: Perhaps you need auto eth0 | 17:01 |
| Nida | #pa2010 | 17:01 |
| tgm4883 | Eagleman, so you have a few options. 1) build it yourself. This is probably not trivial (otherwise it would probably be on the ubuntu-virt PPA already) 2) Ask for it to be backported. (While there may already be someone working on it, it never hurts to let people know that it's actually wanted) | 17:01 |
| tgm4883 | Eagleman, you could ask in #ubuntu-server if there is work being done on that | 17:02 |
| tgm4883 | !patience | Scientist_ | 17:02 |
| ubottu | Scientist_: 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/ | 17:02 |

| Scientist_ | jhutchins_wk, the command to access is startx like bactrack? | 17:06 |
| nibbler | Scientist_: only thing that comes to my mind would be no write permission on your home folder. | 17:07 |
| jhutchins_wk | Scientist_: That may work, but it's more likely to fail anyway. Might give you useful error messages. | 17:07 |
| wiggmpk | smarat: by pendrive do you mean USB flash drive? and Oracle VM I assume your talking about Virtualbox? | 17:08 |

| blno | I'd like to install Steam now that it's in the software centre, but the button asks me to pay instead of showing "install". http://i.imgur.com/4ZUjL0m.png . Anyone know how to fix that? | 17:11 |
| Steve_0 | Hi! So I hope I'm not common in asking this, but is the performance hit while using the wubi-installation normal? | 17:11 |
| wiggmpk | blno: its priced at $0.00 so buy it | 17:12 |
| tnelis | blno, you should be able to download a .deb from steampowered.com which should work | 17:12 |
| blno | I don't have an account | 17:12 |
| wiggmpk | blno: make one? | 17:12 |
| smarat | wiggmpk: yes, i talk about virtualbox.. | 17:12 |
| blno | I don't want to make one just to download a free software | 17:12 |
| === daniel is now known as Guest99469 | ||
| blno | that sucks | 17:12 |
| jrib | blno: it should say "buy" and it's free. It just associates it with your ubuntu one account (create one for free) | 17:12 |
| tgm4883 | blno, download the deb then from the steam website | 17:12 |
| Steve_0 | Read/write is slower than anything I've experienced before, and every program keeps getting greyed-out all the time. | 17:12 |
| blno | is that normal? | 17:12 |
| jrib | blno: is what normal? | 17:13 |
| wiggmpk | blno: then install it the hard way.. god forbid you buy anything from the software center in the future and be faced with the same problem | 17:13 |
| tgm4883 | blno, is what normal? | 17:13 |
| wiggmpk | smarat: did you install the Extension Pack for VirtualBox? its required for USB support | 17:13 |
| blno | is it normal that we need a Ubuntu One account to install Steam? | 17:13 |
| blno | I thought it was a bug | 17:13 |
| tgm4883 | blno, you don't need a ubuntu one account to install steam | 17:13 |
| jhutchins_wk | tnelis: I don't see the error in your post. This might help: https://help.ubuntu.com/community/Kernel/Compile | 17:13 |
| Skyrid3r | Meh.... | 17:14 |
| blno | tgm4883: well, apparently I do | 17:14 |
| Skyrid3r | Installing Ubuntu, it can only find a 750GB HDD... | 17:14 |
| Skyrid3r | No partitions. | 17:14 |
| smarat | wiggmpk: yes,but usb does not supported... | 17:14 |
| jrib | blno: it's just how they've chosen to publish the software. It's a bit strange that they don't just put steam in canonical's partner repository, but maybe they have their reasons | 17:14 |
| Skyrid3r | Well that sucks. | 17:14 |
| tgm4883 | blno, actually, no you dont http://store.steampowered.com/about/ | 17:14 |
| wiggmpk | smarat: are you sure it's mounted? | 17:14 |
| tgm4883 | jrib, blno granted, it just says install on mine, but IDK if that is because I've installed the steam deb on here previously | 17:14 |
| smarat | wiggmpk;yes | 17:14 |
| blno | yes, but if I install it with the deb, I won't get automatic updates | 17:14 |
| tnelis | jhutchins_wk, sorry for the confusion. I'm compiling wireless adapter drivers, not the kernel itself | 17:14 |
| jrib | blno: valve also has a repository | 17:15 |
| Steve_0 | blno: yes you will. steam updates itself. | 17:15 |
| jhutchins_wk | tnelis: That's the best I've got at the moment. | 17:15 |
| wiggmpk | smarat: i mean, you have to unmount it from the HOST to be able to mount it in the GUEST OS | 17:15 |
| tgm4883 | blno, you won't get packaging updates, the steam client checks for updates itself | 17:15 |
| blno | Steve_0: oh, ok. That's not really good way to do it, but well. It's really Windowsish. | 17:15 |
| tgm4883 | blno, how so? | 17:15 |
| Skyrid3r | I appreciate some help. | 17:15 |
| silverone | Dear kind sirs: stupid question, i have a raspberry pi running openvpn & murmur (mumble server) , if these processes happen to crash do they restart automaticly or should i look into that | 17:15 |
| jhutchins_wk | tnelis: That kernel looks rather old. | 17:15 |
| === codemaniac is now known as fego | ||
| smarat | wiggmpk:ok,i will try it. | 17:16 |
| tgm4883 | blno, I fail to see how something could be windowish, when windows didn't even have a software store until the latest release | 17:16 |
| jhutchins_wk | silverone: They most likely need to be restarted manually, but they can be set to start at boot. | 17:16 |
| silverone | jhutchins_wk: they are. thank you i'll look into it :) | 17:17 |
| tgm4883 | It's getting a bit tiring when "windows" has just become a synonym for "I don't like how something works" | 17:17 |
| blno | in Linux, you normally get updates made by the system, which finds them in repos. Having each software update himself (downloading the update and installing it itself) is really unelegant. That's one of the good things of Linux compared to Windows. | 17:17 |
| Steve_0 | Is there anyway to increase performance with a Wubi-installation? Read/write is incredibly slow. | 17:17 |
| wiggmpk | why is it such a big deal to use an account for the software center, it IS the way the industry is going.. you have an iPhone you need an account to download apps, same with Android, Microsoft Surface, etc | 17:17 |
| Scientist_ | command STARTX fail to access ubuntu via terminal. | 17:17 |
| blno | the advantage of course is that everything is always up to date, and you don't rely on the possibly shitty code of each software | 17:17 |
| blno | wiggmpk: well, it sucks | 17:18 |
| jrib | Steve_0: I imagine there is some performance penalty though I don't know if what you describe is normal. Is there a reason you don't just install ubuntu on its own partition? | 17:18 |
| wiggmpk | blno: what sucks? | 17:18 |
| tgm4883 | Scientist_, did you look at the logs? | 17:18 |
| h00k | blno: please keep the language appropriate | 17:18 |
| blno | wiggmpk: that you need an account to access the repo | 17:18 |
| jrib | blno: valve publishes its own repository too... | 17:18 |
| tnelis | jhutchins_wk, the kernel I'm running is 3.5.0-23. The source is unfortunately only compatible with 3.0.x or 2.6.x, however some people have been able to get it to compile on 3.5. I'm just not lucky, I suppose :) | 17:19 |
| wiggmpk | blno: you dont need an account to access the repo.. you need an account to install Steam..IF you want to use the software center.. you still have the choice dude | 17:19 |
| blno | jrib: it isn't in the repo of the software centre? | 17:19 |
| tgm4883 | blno, some repositories require accounts | 17:19 |
| Steve_0 | jrib: I've read about the 64-bit version being even slower than the 32-bit, might that have something to do with it? And yes, currently just checking out how steam looks on linux, Windows is already taking up the rest of my HDD's. | 17:19 |
| Scientist_ | what is the exactely path. Exist many of xorg path in yhr file system. | 17:19 |
| wiggmpk | blno: to go Steam's website.. download and install the .deb and it will automatically add the repository.. the Software Center is for ease-of-use, get over it | 17:19 |
| jrib | blno: they are different things. Valve published its own repository with the beta. Now they've also published steam to software-center in a private repository (so you need an ubuntu one account for this one) | 17:19 |
| jrib | Steve_0: I don't know much about wubi | 17:20 |
| blno | oh well, got it. I don't like it but if it's a problem I can always suck it I imagine (or install Arch). Thanks all. | 17:20 |
| * tgm4883 rolls eyes | 17:20 | |
| Scientist_ | tgm4883, what is the exactely path. Exist many of xorg path in file system. | 17:20 |
| wiggmpk | smarat: you see where I was referring to? when you have the VM loaded.. click Devices > USB > and it should be listed there | 17:20 |

| ikonia | devdyd: are they doing a dns lookup ? | 17:36 |
| Kroach | wiggmpk:will it be able to preserve the quality at about the same level as the source files? | 17:36 |
| devdyd | ikonia: nope, just a couple of commands like so sudo iptables -A INPUT -i eth0 -s 8.8.8.0/24 -j ACCEPT | 17:37 |
| wiggmpk | Kroach: I dont see why not | 17:37 |
| Scientist_ | tgm4883, how fix a problem in ATI module from live cd? Could you give me some instructions? | 17:37 |
| Kroach | wiggmpk: I mean, I tried an app called OGG Convert but it only allows to set one "Quality level" for the whole process and low-quality mp3s end up being oversized OGGs | 17:38 |
| tgm4883 | Scientist_, I'm assuming this has worked at some point? | 17:38 |
| ikonia | devdyd: so no dns names in there ? | 17:38 |
| wiggmpk | Kroach: well there in lies the problem.. the higher the quality the bigger the file | 17:38 |
| GermainZ | Is there a recommended place to install 3rd party packages? I currently use /opt/ | 17:38 |
| devdyd | ikonia: although the one I made for the local subnet says localnet/28 (I entered the IP, it was translated to that then I view thru iptables -L) | 17:38 |
| devdyd | ikonia: to answer your question though, no dns names | 17:39 |
| Skyrid3r | okidoki | 17:39 |
| Skyrid3r | I'm lost... | 17:39 |
| Skyrid3r | Ubuntu is very confusing for new users.. | 17:39 |
| jrib | GermainZ: /opt and /usr/local are common. I use /usr/local if the package is "unixy" and /opt if it's just one monolithic thing | 17:39 |
| GermainZ | Thank you jrib | 17:39 |
| wiggmpk | Kroach: im assuming your converting from mp3? | 17:39 |
| ikonia | devdyd: things like ip->hostname translation can slow iptables down, I see it often with my fail2ban hostlist | 17:40 |
| Kroach | wiggmpk: yes | 17:40 |
| wiggmpk | Kroach: any particular reason why? mp3 and ogg are both lossy formats | 17:40 |
| ikonia | devdyd: slow listing not overall performance | 17:40 |
| zykotick9 | Kroach: going from mp3->ogg is a BAD idea. you'll loose quality. | 17:40 |
| devdyd | ikonia: I understand that and will typically minimize the use of hostnames on things that will require a lot of lookups. No hostnames here though :/ | 17:40 |
| devdyd | ikonia: no sense in adding 15-45ms dns lookup time | 17:41 |
| ikonia | devdyd: any subnect rules, eg: /24 | 17:41 |
| devdyd | I wish that was the problem | 17:41 |
| Kroach | wiggmpk: zykotick9: could you recommend a better option then? the only requirement is for it to be a free format | 17:41 |
| devdyd | ikonia: yes, they are all submetted via cidr notation | 17:41 |
| zykotick9 | Kroach: if "free" is your required. go ahead. | 17:41 |
| ikonia | devdyd: I think we have a winer.... | 17:41 |
| ikonia | winner even | 17:41 |
| devdyd | just like the example I sent above.. could that be it? | 17:41 |
| devdyd | ikonia: should I provide a full netmask instead of cidr? | 17:42 |
| ikonia | devdyd: the translation of /24 to 1.1.1.1, 1.1.1.2, 1.1.1.3 etc | 17:42 |
| wiggmpk | Kroach: why is that? | 17:42 |
| ikonia | devdyd: translatin is normally the thing that slows iptables -L down | 17:42 |
| randomfun | great to be part of it | 17:42 |
| devdyd | ikonia: ok I will flush and rewrite them using the full netmask | 17:42 |
| zykotick9 | Kroach: i use ogg for everything myself, but i created them from CD sources as OGG files. | 17:42 |
| devdyd | ikonia: thank you | 17:42 |

| devdyd | ikonia: can you tell me how to enter a netmask? I'm using sudo iptables -A INPUT -i eth0 -s 10.10.10.0 255.255.255.0 -j ACCEPT but it is saying the netmask is a bad argument. | 17:49 |
| Gawerty100 | wiggmpk: I get errors when trying to install anything in the winetricks area, its all http errors | 17:49 |
| ikonia | devdyd: I normally actually use /24 etc | 17:49 |
| ikonia | Gawerty100: the http errors will be from the repo you are getting it from | 17:49 |
| wiggmpk | Gawerty100: copy and paste the erros in pastebin | 17:50 |
| devdyd | ikonia: you just told me that is what is slowing me down | 17:50 |
| ikonia | Gawerty100: most likley | 17:50 |
| devdyd | ikonia: all my rules use cidr notation | 17:50 |
| Gawerty100 | When I boot into linux I will. | 17:50 |

| aandy | hey, i'm wondering what error is behind this. when i # ls /dir, most show up as usual, bot some show as d??????? ? ? (questionmarks for every property, perms, user/grp/size date etc.). and ls'ing those dirs result in "not found". what can cause this? | 17:52 |
| aandy | the disk is *litterally* full, as in, 0 bytes left on the device. is it possible that the disk "header" has been destroyed? | 17:52 |
| aandy | (it doesn't matter, i have backups, i'm just wondering) | 17:53 |
| ikonia | aandy: orphaned files | 17:53 |
| Gawerty100 | wubi takes so long :/ | 17:53 |
| aandy | ikonia: what does that mean exactly - lost+found? | 17:54 |
| aandy | (ext3) | 17:54 |
| ikonia | Gawerty100: i fyou have a windows install...why are you using linux/wine | 17:54 |
| ikonia | aandy: not really, basically a file that's lost it's place onthe disk | 17:54 |
| Gawerty100 | Because Im looking for knowledge. | 17:54 |
| ikonia | Gawerty100: but wine is not something people use in the "real world" | 17:55 |
| wiggmpk | ikonia: some people report better frame rates using WINE on Windows | 17:55 |
| Ntemis | hi | 17:55 |
| Ntemis | i have set up my server | 17:55 |
| Ntemis | i have 4 hdds raid0 | 17:55 |
| Ntemis | how i can readd them to md0? | 17:55 |
| ikonia | wiggmpk: most will report software not working or instability | 17:55 |
| escott | Ntemis, madam --assemble --scan should do it for you | 17:55 |
| wiggmpk | ikonia: just saying man.. | 17:55 |
| ikonia | Ntemis: add them to ? if they are already raided they will have a metadevice id | 17:55 |
| liquidmetal_ | What channel should I connect to for advice with designing web sites? | 17:55 |
| ikonia | wiggmpk: so am I | 17:55 |
| ikonia | escott: that's assuming he's not using fakeraid.... | 17:55 |
| aandy | ikonia: ah, okay, so they should be "gone"? the reason I ask is, the total usage still resembles all the data. how do they lose their place - the outer ring of the disk has been overwritten (with data)? | 17:56 |
| ikonia | liquidmetal_: #css ? | 17:56 |

| Ntemis | ikonia: i did this mdadm --create --verbose /dev/md0 --level=raid0 --raid-devices= /dev/etc/dev/ etc2 | 17:56 |
| Ntemis | it complain that i will loose them if i continue | 17:57 |

| tyrog | Hello. Installing Steam on Ubuntu 12.04.2 LTS is making apt delete a lot of packages that cause the system not being able to reboot. Is there a fix for this? | 17:57 |
| Ntemis | this error | 17:57 |
| tgm4883 | tyrog, what packages? | 17:58 |
| Ntemis | so i need some expert help | 17:58 |
| Ntemis | i need to readd all of them together | 17:58 |
| escott | Ntemis, you should create arrays of raw disks | 17:58 |
| ikonia | escott: touche' | 17:58 |
| ikonia | oops | 17:58 |
| ikonia | sorry | 17:58 |
| Ntemis | escott: command to use? | 17:58 |
| tyrog | tgm4883: ubuntu-desktop libxtracker1-lts-quantal libgl1-mesa-glx-lts-quantal libglapi-mesa-lts-quantal xserver-xorg-video-vmware-lts-quantal xorg xserver-xorg-video-all-lts-quantal libgl1-mesa-dri-lts-quantal xserver-xorg-lts-quantal | 17:59 |
| escott | Ntemis, sounds like you were telling mdadm to use /dev/sda or /dev/sdb as part of the array. thats a bad practice. use /dev/sda1 or /sda2. | 17:59 |
| tyrog | The backports from quantal. Steam package is uninstalling them because they conflict with libgl1-mesa-dri libgl1-mesa-dri:i386 libgl1-mesa-glx libgl1-mesa-glx:i386 libglapi-mesa libglapi-mesa:i386 steam:i386 | 17:59 |
| ikonia | make sure the partition type is set to raid auto-detect | 17:59 |
| tgm4883 | tyrog, there is no way that should be removing ubuntu-desktop. Are you sure it wasn't something else prior to you installing steam? Perhaps apt is trying to resolve something it previously couldn't do? | 17:59 |
| Ntemis | escott: my disks are named sda/sdb/sdc/sdd | 17:59 |
| escott | Ntemis, yes. and you should not use a raw disk as part of an mdadm array. its a bad idea | 18:00 |
| Ntemis | i need them to be all together as raid0 on dev/md0 | 18:00 |
| Ntemis | am lost | 18:00 |
| Ntemis | and i dont want to loose all my data :( | 18:01 |
| Ntemis | thats 8tb | 18:01 |
| escott | Ntemis, if you put the whole disk into the array without a table then if you take that disk out and put it into a windows box (or even a linux box if you arent careful) then the disk will look like it is empty | 18:01 |
| escott | Ntemis, you cannot take existing data and make it raid0 | 18:01 |
| tyrog | tgm4883: the steam package is not handling the new packages on 12.04.2 that are backports from 12.10 quantal | 18:01 |
| tyrog | So it deletes many stuff it shouldn't | 18:02 |
| playerone | jhutchins_wk, turns out I was trying to compile an older driver for an older device. Downloaded the correct driver and it compiled without issue. Thanks for your help. | 18:02 |
| Ntemis | i had raid0 configured (linux raid) | 18:02 |
| escott | Ntemis, you would have to delete the disks to create a raid0 array | 18:02 |
| tyrog | If i reinstall ubuntu-desktop, then apt wants to Remove all the xorg drivers | 18:02 |
| Ntemis | then i lost my server os | 18:02 |
| tgm4883 | tyrog, did you file a bug? | 18:02 |
| Ntemis | i re install | 18:02 |
| rasha666 | after i updated ubuntu 12.04 wireless stopped working? any ideas? | 18:02 |
| Ntemis | and i need them back and working | 18:02 |
| escott | Ntemis, then you aren't creating an array. you are assembling | 18:03 |
| Ntemis | yeap | 18:03 |
| Ntemis | thats is what i want to do | 18:03 |
| escott | Ntemis, so use the very first command i sent you | 18:03 |
| ghostcart_ | rasha666: Try reinstalling your wireless drivers | 18:03 |
| Ntemis | reassemble my raid 0 | 18:03 |
| ghostcart_ | rasha666: Sometimes linux distros don't always come with the drivers needed | 18:04 |
| ghostcart_ | Had to do the same thing when I made a Mint partition | 18:04 |
| rasha666 | ghostcart_, it worked but after update it doesnt | 18:04 |
| ghostcart_ | Dunno then. That's about the extent of my experience | 18:04 |
| Ntemis | cant find anything escott | 18:04 |
| Ntemis | what is the command | 18:04 |
| escott | Ntemis, mdadm --assemble --scan | 18:05 |
| Ntemis | oh | 18:05 |
| Ntemis | thank you | 18:05 |
| Ntemis | let me see | 18:05 |
| Willdude123 | I am dual-booting (wubi) with Windows 8 (I know it's crap, that's why I'm using Ubuntu). I changed the default on the dual boot screen to Ubuntu, and I was expecting it to give me the option to go into windows within the 10 second period, but now it just goes straight to Ubuntu, how can I fix/revert this? | 18:06 |
| Ntemis | mdadm: /dev/md0 has been started with 4 drives. | 18:06 |
| Ntemis | i love you man! | 18:06 |
| escott | Willdude123, did you update-grub | 18:06 |
| Ntemis | it was so easy! | 18:06 |
| Ntemis | thanks escott | 18:06 |
| Gawerty100 | almost done with the install. | 18:06 |
| Willdude123 | No, I just clicked on change default to Ubuntu. | 18:07 |
| Willdude123 | I didn't know that the dual boot screen was actually part of Windows. | 18:07 |
| escott | Ntemis, why are you running a 4 disk raid0. that seems like a very bad choice | 18:07 |
| Ntemis | yes it is | 18:07 |
| Ntemis | i needed that to take my data off | 18:07 |
| Ntemis | then i will be using raid5 | 18:08 |
| Ntemis | so i need to mount /dev/md0 now right? | 18:08 |
| Willdude123 | escott: TBH, I am OK with going back to how it was before, if it is easier. | 18:08 |
| escott | Ntemis, ok that would be better. do make sure you are aware of the write-hole | 18:08 |
| Ntemis | write hole? | 18:09 |
| Ntemis | no nothing about that | 18:09 |
| bogor | In gnome-terminal when i press alt+1 it goes to the gnome terminal instead of going to the application running in the terminal. How do i tell gnome-terminal not to capture alt keys and pass everything to the app inside terminal ? | 18:10 |
| escott | Ntemis, i would recommend raid10 over raid5 in most cases http://www.raid-recovery-guide.com/raid5-write-hole.aspx | 18:10 |
| Ntemis | with 4 disks will be ok? | 18:10 |
| Willdude123 | So basically, it boots straight into Ubuntu and I would want it to show a dual boot screen. | 18:11 |
| jameso | I downloaded Ubuntu Linux 12.04 LTS to my Mac OS X 10.6.8 (Snow Leopard). I got the message: "the following disk image couldn't be opened: ubuntu-12.04.2-deskt no mountable file system." The filename was possibly truncated as there are a no. of files beginning with ubuntu-12.04.2-desktop. What does this mean? Can I install Ubuntu as is? I am planning to install it in VMWare Fusion under my Mac OS X. -jameso | 18:12 |
| escott | Willdude123, sounds like you modified the wrong option in /etc/default/grub (through whatever gui tool this is) | 18:12 |
| Gawerty100 | Crap! | 18:13 |
| Gawerty100 | Ubuntu finished installing but didnt show up in the mbr | 18:13 |

| Willdude123 | escott: But it was a Windows one. It was using the Windows boot-loader. | 18:14 |
| Gawerty100 | so, what now? | 18:14 |
| ioria | Willdude123: maybe that's the problem | 18:14 |
| Gawerty100 | ubuntu didnt show up in the boot menu | 18:14 |
| ioria | Willdude123: and maybe you have to reinstall grub | 18:15 |
| mernilio | Hi all! :-) What is your oppinion about KUbuntu? I have been a slacker since '94 but recent i had enuff about uppdates 12-14 months period... | 18:15 |

| escott | Gawerty100, boot the livecd for starters. then there are a couple options to reinstall grub | 18:15 |
| Willdude123 | ioria: It is. It was a Windows boot-loader, and I didn't realize it was part of Windows. | 18:15 |

| Boohbah | Gutter: change the boot order in your BIOS to boot the usb drive first | 18:28 |
| Gutter | I cant acces the bios | 18:28 |
| Boohbah | Gutter: why not? | 18:28 |
| Gutter | I press F2 but all that happens is a noise | 18:28 |

| Gutter | Nothing happens, no keys are responsive excpet for ESC but that only gives me info on the pc and the option to acces the bios but I'm still unable to | 18:30 |
| pragmaticenigma | znx: If you are booting from a DVD or CD-ROM, the disk may not have burned correctly and you need to burn a new disk. If you are using USB flash drive, you may need to re-image the drive as a file may have been corrupted. | 18:31 |
| znx | pragmaticenigma: i ran the "check disk" thing at the options .. it thinks its good? | 18:31 |
| douwe_ | is your harddrive ntfs or fat or fat32 or xfs etc | 18:31 |
| Gutter | okay Ill redo the usb drive, but it shouldn't be a problem | 18:31 |
| michi_s | Gutter: you are right I think | 18:32 |
| === Guest53196 is now known as yacc | ||
| pragmaticenigma | znx: That really isn't a good check. The disk check doesn't check the integrity of the data, just that there is data and it is readable. | 18:32 |
| jameso | bogor: thanks. Does that mean I should go ahead and install Ubuntu Linux 12.04 LTS under VMWare Fusion on my Mac OS X 10.6.8 (Snow Leopard) and see what happens, even though I don't have the ubuntu-12.04.2-deskt* file(s) downloaded? -jameso | 18:32 |
| escott | Ntemis, raid0 does not support failed devices | 18:33 |

| znx | pragmaticenigma: ah ok .. so download the iso again then burn ? .. or can i trust the iso? | 18:33 |

| znx | ok .. 12.10 iso just confirmed as matching its md5 checksum | 18:39 |
| Willdude123 | ioria: Oh. | 18:39 |
| Gutter | You surem michi_s? | 18:40 |
| Willdude123 | Damn it then. | 18:40 |
| michi_s | Gutter: this is whart I would do | 18:40 |
| pragmaticenigma | znx: are you attempting to boot this in any virtual machine? or on an actual computer? | 18:40 |
| znx | pragmaticenigma: actual computer | 18:40 |
| michi_s | Gutter: So you boot the install image and see if it works | 18:40 |
| Willdude123 | Excuse my language. | 18:40 |
| douwe_ | he Gutter you can try tot read the HD in a other system in a usb drive case | 18:40 |
| znx | im using roxio to burn the iso to a DVD and then simply booting it | 18:41 |
| michi_s | Gutter: and than you know your hdd makes the problem | 18:41 |
| znx | which fails miserably | 18:41 |
| Willdude123 | I'll email the mailing list, it'll probably be easier to explain there. | 18:41 |
| Gutter | Okay I'll give that a try later on. Thanks for the support! | 18:41 |
| tyrog | znx: whats the error message? | 18:41 |
| tyrog | znx: and the computer. If the problem is with the DVD, try with a USB stick instead | 18:42 |
| michi_s | Gutter: hope you will get your system working | 18:42 |
| znx | tyrog: i can boot and install fedora from DVD .. so i dont think its that | 18:42 |

| escott | Ntemis, you could fsck the filesystem but thas it | 18:43 |
| tyrog | znx: yea, but what is the error message (if you get one)? What do you get on the screen? | 18:43 |
| znx | finally it pops me to (initramfs) .. saying "no live medium found" | 18:43 |
| tyrog | znx: it could be the ISO that was corrupted, the burning process that had an error. Try burning the DVD with slower speed. But first i would try with a USB drive like i told you | 18:44 |
| znx | im not sure the system will boot USB .. | 18:45 |
| znx | at least i never have | 18:45 |
| znx | but ill give it a go after burning the DVD again | 18:45 |

| tyrog | graphics card, processor and ram | 18:45 |
| matriks404 | hi, i installed xfce, and in unity notifications and volume things (appeared if volume button pressed) is xfce-like, if i delete xfce, will unity become like an old one? | 18:46 |
| Ntemis | escott: data seems correct | 18:46 |
| znx | escott: oh its an old box .. probably er .. 2009? | 18:46 |
| znx | tyrog: relatively low spec .. i dont have an OS on it right now so cant get the detail to you | 18:46 |
| escott | znx, 2009 should boot usb | 18:47 |
| pragmaticenigma | znx: if your going to reburn the image, don't use roxio | 18:47 |
| tyrog | znx: try booting from usb. Go to the bios to change the boot order of your devices. Or use the hotkey to choose to boot from USB if your system has one | 18:47 |
| douwe_ | wat is in terminal the command for see the ubuntu version | 18:48 |
| znx | pragmaticenigma: um .. what else can i use then? | 18:48 |
| matriks404 | douwe_: few words to type in google and here we go! | 18:48 |

| tyrog | znx: are you using windows 7 in the machine for the burn process? | 18:49 |
| douwe_ | thanks bazz | 18:49 |
| pragmaticenigma | Assuming Roxio means your on Windows. I use CDBurner XP. I've seen many postings on Roxio burning Linux ISOs incorrectly | 18:49 |

| bazhang | #ubuntu-steam Andy80 | 18:49 |
| Andy80 | thanks :) | 18:49 |
| matriks404 | how i can return unity back to original because xfce broke some things (for example notifcations) | 18:50 |
| jhutchins_wk | pragmaticenigma: It's not roxio's fault, burns sometimes go bad. It's usually cheap burner hardware at fault. | 18:50 |
| znx | tyrog: yes | 18:50 |
| tyrog | matriks404: remove xfce with purge, then remove the isolated dependencies. It could not fix your problem though. | 18:51 |
| pragmaticenigma | jhutchins_wk: I agree, just more a observation that I see a lot of burning instructions recommend not using Roxio | 18:51 |
| tyrog | znx: insert the usb stick into the USB port. Then just right-click on the ISO and select the option "Burn to disc". Its a Windows 7 feature. | 18:51 |
| matriks404 | ok, thanks tyrog | 18:51 |
| znx | hrmm .. ok | 18:52 |
| === desaila__ is now known as desaila | ||
| jhutchins_wk | znx: roxio should have an option to verify the disk - be sure to use that. You should also check the md5sum of the iso you downloaded. | 18:52 |
| jhutchins_wk | pragmaticenigma: I think that's mostly because it's not free, and it's assumed that if you have to ask, you haven't bought roxio. | 18:52 |
| tyrog | matriks404: open the file /var/log/apt/history.log | 18:52 |
| znx | jhutchins_wk: md5 checksum has been confirmed .. and i did verify the disk with roxio | 18:52 |
| znx | im going to try USB | 18:53 |
| jhutchins_wk | znx: Curious. Is the iso the appropriate architecture? | 18:53 |
| znx | i386 ..yes | 18:54 |
| douwe_ | is it safe to upgrade 12.04 tot 12.10 xubuntu | 18:54 |
| tyrog | znx: is that machine of 2009 a netbook? How much RAM into it? | 18:54 |

| yourimym1 | hello community :) is there a way to backup my ubuntu , i mean take image of it's partion and restore it back again ? like norton ghost or something | 18:56 |
| znx | i was using fedora until i just attempted to switch | 18:57 |
| tyrog | znx: try the amd64 version of ubuntu. Your ram is enough to handle that one. And a Desktop processor from 2009 is probably 64-bit | 18:57 |
| pragmaticenigma | znx: It looks like this guy has a pretty good how to on burning Ubuntu with Roxio... might want to try his technique and see it helps http://www.psychocats.net/ubuntu/burn | 18:57 |
| elena-IK | is the Startup Disk Creator intended for ubuntu images only? | 18:57 |
| tyrog | If amd64 doesn't work with your processor, then you will likely get an error message right after you boot. So you don't loose anything in trying | 18:57 |
| znx | that isnt my version of roxio | 18:57 |
| tyrog | elena-IK: yes :) | 18:57 |
| elena-IK | k, thanks | 18:57 |
| pragmaticenigma | znx: It might not be the same version, but many of the settings are there | 18:58 |
| znx | tyrog: i want 32 install | 18:58 |
| znx | pragmaticenigma: to use roxio is really simply .. click on burn image .. select iso .. burn | 18:58 |
| pragmaticenigma | znx: and settings usually don't disappear, they may get moved around. And there are lots of options that sometimes work better for an ISO image that sometimes the auto-detect settings don't pick up on | 18:59 |
| znx | im pretty confident there isnt anything wrong with my understand of roxio or its settings | 18:59 |
| pragmaticenigma | znx: starting with one of the most basic that I use... I burn at least 1 speed slower than the maximum my burner can do | 19:00 |
| awolf | what's the best basic tutorial for reverse vnc? | 19:00 |
| awolf | It seems it should be simple enough, but I'm getting totally baffled | 19:00 |
| znx | tyrog: windows 7 doesnt offer my usb stick as an option to burn to | 19:00 |
| pragmaticenigma | znx: I'm not saying you don't know how to use the program. I'm offering a suggestion to maybe improve your chances of a burned disk that works | 19:00 |
| znx | pragmaticenigma: it was burnt at 1x | 19:00 |
| YokoBR | oh god... still can't get to enable my discrete gpu :/ | 19:01 |
| pragmaticenigma | 1x is too slow... that can introduce a lot of errors | 19:01 |
| znx | well the options are 1x 2x or 4x | 19:01 |
| znx | i trying 4x and 1x .. | 19:01 |
| pragmaticenigma | I'd opt for 4x in that case | 19:01 |
| znx | im using windows disc image burner to put it on .. it has no option for 1x et al | 19:02 |
| pragmaticenigma | znx: are you using roxio or something else? | 19:03 |
| tyrog | znx: but use amd64! It won't fix your problem, but why would you use i386 afterall? | 19:03 |
| znx | pragmaticenigma: tyrog suggested using windows 7 builtin burner .. so im doing it | 19:03 |
| pragmaticenigma | tyrog: please stay on topic | 19:03 |

| tyrog | Im telling him to use an appropriate version of Ubuntu where he can use all the resources of his computer, and you tell me its offtopic? really? | 19:05 |
| theadmin | alex88: 10.10 is EOL and unsupported. | 19:05 |
| alex88 | theadmin: yeah I know, but this is not mine pc.. can't upgrade, also with 800mb free space is nearly impossible | 19:05 |

| awolf | spotify is very non-free by the way, and they "watermark" all the files with audible junk | 19:06 |
| kostkon | awolf, ?? | 19:06 |
| alex88 | awolf: really? never noticed that | 19:06 |
| theadmin | alex88: Still can't help, you're using a version that's not supported and that's essentially same as asking help with an unsupported distro. Sorry. | 19:06 |
| anew | if i dont have a gui installed, can i run firefox ? | 19:07 |

| zykotick9 | anew: "links2 -g" is probably your best bet with framebuffer | 19:07 |
| anew | thanks was probably a stupid question theadmin | 19:07 |
| znx | tyrog: i thought you said i could use the windows burning tool to burn to USB? | 19:08 |
| tyrog | znx: download Ubuntu 12.10 amd64 from Ubuntu website. Then read how to put the ISO on a usb stick from Windows. The instructions are there in the Ubuntu page | 19:08 |
| tyrog | znx: no, it was an alternative to roxio. | 19:08 |
| znx | again .. i dont want 64bit | 19:08 |
| tyrog | znx: why? | 19:09 |
| theadmin | znx: You can install the 32-bit version from a USB as well. | 19:09 |
| znx | freshly burnt with windows7 tool .. same result | 19:10 |
| znx | trying a usb now | 19:10 |
| znx | tyrog: steam | 19:10 |
| pragmaticenigma | tyrog: It's possible the machine he's installing this on is not a 64 bit machine, why are you recommending that? | 19:10 |
| tyrog | pragmaticenigma: because he didn't state it wasn't a 64-bit machine. And that it was. He doesn't know, but he has 4gb of ram in a desktop of 2009. So it probably is | 19:11 |
| tyrog | znx: steam works in 64-bit Ubuntu, just fine. | 19:11 |
| theadmin | znx: Ubuntu is multiarch, meaning 32-bit apps run on 64-bit platforms. | 19:13 |
| theadmin | znx: Besides, they've relesaed a 64-bit version already, it's even made it to the Software Center. | 19:13 |
| znx | ok but this is of track .. why doesnt the 32 bit version install | 19:13 |
| tyrog | theadmin: really? oh no. Now i have the solution for my problem | 19:13 |
| znx | surely either or should work right? | 19:13 |
| tyrog | BAH | 19:13 |
| znx | theadmin: i didnt know that | 19:14 |
| znx | im making the USB stick right now | 19:14 |
| theadmin | znx: I'd just install from the software center, it's the easiest way... Also, Steam doesn't work on 12.10 | 19:14 |
| xjkx | How do I add another distribution to my grub ? Just installed Arch Linux, but prefered to keep my Grub I had on Ubuntu. Ran grub-install, still not detected | 19:14 |
| tyrog | znx: We don't know. We are giving you some possible solutions, its up to you to try them right? | 19:14 |
| theadmin | znx: You need 12.04, it's a limitation imposed by the beta | 19:14 |
| znx | it says it doesnt on the site? | 19:14 |
| znx | https://wiki.ubuntu.com/Valve | 19:14 |
| znx | that says either? | 19:14 |
| NastyNaz | I just sniffed a WPA handshake that is exactly the same as the bssid (mac). How did they get it so that they are the same? | 19:15 |

I haven't found an AV that works on 64 bit, has anyone else? | 19:30 |
| theadmin | Speaking of, is the 32-bit Ubuntu truly i386?... The kernel dropped support for that processor a while ago, so I figured it'd be bumped up to i486 at least or something like that. Or is it just a name? | 19:31 |
| yourimym1 | can i backup my full OS and restore it ? | 19:31 |
| theadmin | whoever: This is some browser plugin, there's no malware on Ubuntu. But if anything, the Comodo antivirus for Linux has an Ubuntu version and works perfectly for me. | 19:31 |

| whoever | theadmin: thx it happen to be a plugin | 19:35 |
| pragmaticenigma | i386 vs i686 refers to the chip architecture, however, most code is written to be backwards compatible with i386. It mostly just informs you how old of a system the code will be able to run on. i686 supports all of the features of i386 but not the other way around | 19:35 |

| theadmin | pragmaticenigma: Right, but I'm wondering if Ubuntu *actually works* on i386 itself, because the kernel has dropped support for that one. | 19:36 |
| theadmin | ...I don't have any box that old to test | 19:36 |
| theadmin | lol | 19:36 |
| pragmaticenigma | theadmin: I think the kernel support has been ported up by the Ubuntu devs.... Just cause the currently developed kernel doesn't support it, doesn't mean a distro won't. You had have to dig through the source to find out | 19:37 |

| rhin0 | you can test your java from the commandline ClientAlive | 19:44 |
| YokoBR | jhutchins_wk, it would be a pleasure to fill another contact form on ati.com | 19:44 |
| rhin0 | javac - for compiler | 19:44 |
| tonsofpcs | some of the ones with built-in calculators for example will enumerate differently and not necessarily pass the expected keystrokes. I have one that simulates the 10 keys above the alphabetical portion of the keyboard when numlock is on and the arrow keys and home/end/etc when numlock is off, with the center space ('5') doing nothing. | 19:45 |
| ClientAlive | rhy | 19:46 |
| rhin0 | ok thanks tonsofpcs | 19:46 |
| rhin0 | i'll just get a standard one | 19:47 |

| ClientAlive | rhin0: I have 1.6.0_27 installed and configured. I'm not sure what you mean. I have two versions of eclipse on the system and only want to keep one.. One was installed via tha package manager or command line (don't recall) and one was installed manually by downloading from the eclipse site. I want to keep that latter not the former. But I want to be sure I don't break the one I keep. | 19:47 |
| rhin0 | check in synaptic whats installed - uninstall by right click then 'remove' within synaptic .. otherwise, remove from the command line with sudo apt-get remove <package name> client alive | 19:48 |
| rhin0 | synaptic is the ubuntu package manager | 19:48 |
| jhutchins_wk | rhin0: If it's a standard keyboard then yes. Sometimes you can get extended media keys working, sometimes you can't. | 19:49 |
| rhin0 | ok thanks jhutch | 19:49 |
| rhin0 | bye | 19:49 |
| ClientAlive | rhin0: brother :) I know how to ninstall something. I have a bunch of plugins and configuration done to the eclipse I want to keep. I need to understand whether it is going to be affected by the uninstall. | 19:50 |
| ClientAlive | anyone? | 19:50 |

| RSherry | Ello. | 20:00 |
| RSherry | Right, so heres my issue. When I tried to boot into ubuntu, I get a hd0 out of disk error, which then throws me into something called "busy box" When I tryed to check the HD space it said it was unmounted. Now from within ubuntu booted from a CD, I get a: | 20:02 |
| RSherry | Error mounting: mount: wrong fs type, bad option, bad superblock on /dev/sda1, missing codepage or helper program, or other error In some cases useful info is found in syslog - try dmesg | tail or so | 20:02 |
| RSherry | Any ideas to what I can do? | 20:03 |
| awolf | Help! I installed TeamViewer via the .deb and now I want to get rid of it. It installed a bunch of things, how do I purge this stuff? | 20:03 |
| ev0lve | man dkpg ;) | 20:04 |
| awolf | I found a FLOSS solution for what I needed: GITSO | 20:04 |
| awolf | Ok, man dpkg… what? | 20:04 |
| altmeta | awolf: or apt-get remove | 20:04 |
| awolf | hmm | 20:04 |
| ev0lve | sudo apt-get clean | 20:05 |
| awolf | oh that worked | 20:05 |
| RSherry | I don't have anything in particular that I need to keep so if I need to reformat the drive - thats fine | 20:05 |

| yourimym1 | hey am trying to install AndroVM on ubuntu http://paste.ubuntu.com/1659510/ what should i do to complete installation | 20:06 |
| jhutchins_wk | !patience | 20:06 |
| ubottu | 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/ | 20:06 |
| awolf | ok, so Synaptic doesn't handle all the stuff apt-get does, got it :P | 20:06 |
| ev0lve | you got it! | 20:07 |
| awolf | any reason *not* to do apt-get clean or apt-get autoclean? | 20:07 |
| awolf | in general? | 20:08 |
| altmeta | yourimym1: You need to find what package contains lib64OpenglRender.so, I believe ubuntu has a similiar feature to yum's whatprovides, I'll have a quick check | 20:09 |
| ev0lve | always good to clear out cached files | 20:09 |
| jhutchins_wk | awolf: The "clean" command just cleans up the cache. autoclean does other things that you may not want, but it should ask first. | 20:09 |
| nova_ | hi | 20:10 |
| awolf | jhutchins_wk: whoops autoclean did NOT ask | 20:11 |
| awolf | jhutchins_wk: what did I lose by deleting all these packages? (mostly stuff I am glad that I installed) | 20:11 |
| awolf | just history? | 20:11 |
| awolf | or easy way to get back to old version? | 20:12 |
| jhutchins_wk | awolf: Not sure how apt-get does it, I use aptitude, but it's supposed to remove packages marked as installed automatically to meet dependencies where the system no longer has the dependant program installed. | 20:13 |
| jhutchins_wk | I believe aptitude does ask before it autocleans. | 20:13 |
| awolf | jhutchins_wk: that's autoremove | 20:13 |
| yourimym1 | apt-get clean dosent affect installed apps ? | 20:14 |
| TakeItEZ | awolf: man apt-get, autoclean doesn't anything harmfull | 20:14 |
| awolf | autoremove deletes unecessary packages, autoclean is, I think just deleting downloads that have since been installed | 20:14 |
| TakeItEZ | yourimym1: no it doesn't | 20:14 |
| yourimym1 | what about autoclean also ? | 20:14 |
| jhutchins_wk | awolf: Yeah, sorry. | 20:15 |
| jhutchins_wk | awolf: It just cleans up the cache. | 20:15 |
| awolf | jhutchins_wk: cool | 20:16 |
| Noorideen | whats the difference between shell and terminal? | 20:16 |
| jhutchins_wk | Noorideen: Depends. On a linux box the terms are pretty interchangable, on OSX they're different programs. | 20:17 |
| altmeta | yourimym1: I just checked using apt-file search lib64OpenglRender.so but got no results, is the shared object not included in the deb? | 20:17 |
| Noorideen | hmm k thank you | 20:17 |
| awolf | cheers and so long folks! | 20:17 |
| jhutchins_wk | awolf: On aptitude clean isn't documented, on apt-get autoclean deletes only obsolete packages, while clean clears the whole cache. | 20:18 |
| TakeItEZ | jhutchins_wk: man aptitude contains "clean" here, same function as apt-get | 20:21 |
| jhutchins_wk | TakeItEZ: What v3e3rsion is your aptitude manpage? (Should be at the bottom) | 20:23 |
| RSherry | Ok, so I managed to fix the mounting error, and it now boot proparly, but I'm still getting hd0 out of disk error when I start up. | 20:23 |
| TakeItEZ | jhutchins_wk: 0.6.8.2 (debian sid) | 20:24 |

| vahnx | i'm using deja-dup in ubuntu to do automatic backups, is there an easy way to browse the entirety of the backups or must you pick a .gz at random and unzip it? | 20:34 |
| jayar | thats what it says when i cat /etc/*-release | 20:34 |

| ikonia | that's odd | 20:35 |
| jayar | yea | 20:35 |
| ikonia | jayar: right, so this channel is #ubuntu | 20:35 |
| ikonia | not #backtrack-linux, you need #backtrack-linux | 20:35 |
| jayar | but its ubuntu based | 20:35 |
| ikonia | it's not ubuntu | 20:35 |
| jayar | mm | 20:35 |
| ikonia | as you can see it has a different kenrel | 20:35 |
| altmeta | yourimym1: you can just download the ova files and open them in virtualbox | 20:35 |
| ikonia | kernel even | 20:35 |
| jayar | k | 20:35 |
| jayar | srry | 20:36 |

| ikonia | jayar: I only checked to make sure I didn't give you bad info | 20:36 |
| jayar | all good. thanx fer tryin :) | 20:36 |
| ikonia | jayar: #backtrack-linux will help you though | 20:36 |
| compdoc | Interesting: BackTrack is a Linux-based penetration testing arsenal that aids security professionals in the ability to perform assessments in a purely native environment dedicated to hacking. | 20:36 |
| jayar | it just struck me as odd cuz it worked like 10 mins ago. stopped after installed bitdefender | 20:37 |
| ikonia | compdoc: we know what it is | 20:37 |
| compdoc | good | 20:37 |
| OerHeks | jayar, because you are root, things go and work different for a special purpose, not for regular desktop use. | 20:37 |
| ikonia | jayar: I'm sure the #backtrack-linux guys will understand what's happened | 20:37 |
| yeats | vahnx: it's pretty opaque and not very browseable | 20:38 |
| excesseye | exit | 20:38 |
| vahnx | do you have a suggestion for a better alternative? im planning on installing wine and using a windows backup solution | 20:38 |
| ikonia | vahnx: want to use windows app, use windows | 20:38 |
| ikonia | no better option than that | 20:38 |
| yeats | vahnx: if you need to browse, I'd recommend a different backup method (I'll also mentioned that I was burned recently by a corrupted dejadup backup :-/) | 20:39 |
| vahnx | windows costs $$$ | 20:39 |
| yeats | s/mentioned/mention/ | 20:39 |
| yeats | !backup | vahnx | 20:39 |
| ubottu | vahnx: There are many ways to back your system up. Here's a few: https://help.ubuntu.com/community/BackupYourSystem , https://help.ubuntu.com/community/DuplicityBackupHowto , https://wiki.ubuntu.com/HomeUserBackup , https://help.ubuntu.com/community/MondoMindi - See also !sbackup and !cloning | 20:39 |
| vahnx | oh yikes | 20:39 |
| compdoc | vahnx, if you need fast graphics, virtualbox is great. Wine is good too, but theres sometimes anomolies in dialog boxes, etc | 20:39 |
| ikonia | wine is poor | 20:40 |
| ikonia | and not a solution | 20:40 |
| jhutchins_wk | vahnx: wine is a last resort when you can't find a native linux way to do something. | 20:40 |
| num7 | hi, i tried the command "find /home/$USER/ -perm 777" and i found 3 hidden files which has this permissions e.g. ".mozilla/firefox/trxlubd2.default/lock" Is this a security issue for my machine? | 20:40 |
| ikonia | num7: not really | 20:40 |
| jhutchins_wk | num7: Nope. | 20:40 |
| ikonia | num7: you run your home dir - it's up to you if you think it's bad | 20:41 |
| ikonia | you know your system | 20:41 |
| num7 | ikonia: i don't know a lot about file-permission a what is dangerous. | 20:41 |
| num7 | *and | 20:41 |
| anew | it's weird i use |less and get to the bottom and just have END there | 20:42 |
| anew | and cant exit out ? | 20:42 |
| yeats | anew: 'q' | 20:42 |
| anew | ah | 20:42 |
| anew | ty | 20:42 |
| compdoc | num7, most programs create locks and the like when they run. You dont want to change permssions on those files | 20:42 |
| jrib | num7: that's probably just a symlink | 20:43 |
| anew | i also tried ctl+pgup and alt+pgup to move the command terminal up, but doesnt work ? | 20:43 |
| anew | is the only option less ? | 20:43 |
| jhutchins_wk | num7: That's the file responsible for those pesky "iceweasel is already running" messages. | 20:44 |
| yeats | anew: there's 'more' but it works similarly - what are you trying to do? | 20:44 |
| anew | well when i do command -help for example | 20:44 |
| num7 | ikonia: jrib: compdoc: as long as files with 777 in my home folder everything is right? Linux seems to be quite save. But how can i protect for attacks? | 20:44 |
| jhutchins_wk | anew: In a normal console/terminal it's Shift-PgUp | 20:44 |
| anew | i cant read everything | 20:44 |
| === Kitar|st_ is now known as Kitar|st | ||
| anew | so i'd like to go back up to read what i missed | 20:44 |
| === KaiSforza is now known as kaisnumeral | ||
| yeats | anew: I see - then less is a good solution | 20:45 |
| jhutchins_wk | anew: Piping it through less is a good habit. You can also use more, which has fewer features. | 20:45 |
| anew | actually u know what shift pgeup just worked | 20:45 |
| anew | ok so less is better than pgup ? | 20:45 |
| yeats | anew: imho, yes | 20:45 |
| yeats | anew: do 'less --help' for commands | 20:45 |
| jhutchins_wk | anew: Depends. Less will buffer more text than the standard terminal. | 20:45 |
| anew | sweet just learning here | 20:46 |
| anew | one last thing i am trying to wget firefox | 20:46 |
| anew | but when i go to the firefox downloag page | 20:46 |
| jhutchins_wk | anew: less will also let you search. | 20:46 |
| anew | it doesnt work - is wget the right thing i'm supposed to be using? | 20:46 |
| anew | or is there something else to download stuff ? | 20:46 |
| num7 | is there any way how to figure out that my system has no rootkit or virus? | 20:46 |
| jhutchins_wk | anew: You should be able to download in your browser, but why are you trying to download firefox? Which browser are you using? | 20:47 |
| jhutchins_wk | anew: wget or curl are command line file retreval programs. | 20:47 |
| anew | do you like wget or curl better ? | 20:47 |
| jhutchins_wk | num7: There are a number of programs like chkrootkit | 20:47 |
| jhutchins_wk | num7: rkhunter | 20:47 |
| anew | in my browser? i'm just trying to download via command line | 20:48 |
| yeats | anew: you have to be running X for firefox to work | 20:48 |
| jhutchins_wk | anew: Those would be the most likely programs then. Again, why firefox? | 20:48 |
| yeats | anew: you could try lynx if you want a CLI browser | 20:48 |
| num7 | jhutchins_wk: okay, thanks i note them. | 20:48 |
| riderplus | or elinks | 20:48 |
| jhutchins_wk | anew: Nevermind, I thought I was in a different channel. | 20:49 |
| anew | x is the gui right.... jhutchins_wk i need firefox because of it's modules | 20:49 |
| anew | oh lol | 20:49 |
| yeats | anew: yep | 20:49 |
| compdoc | num7, you dont want to change permissions - leave it default, and do not enable the root acount. And you could try rkhunter. Should be in the repos | 20:49 |
| anew | ok hmmm | 20:49 |
| anew | so i should be downloading everything thru gui ? | 20:49 |
| jhutchins_wk | anew: You should install it with apt instead of downloading it. | 20:49 |
| yeats | anew: you'll need to elaborate about what you're doing if you want good answers ;-) | 20:49 |
| jaake | heya guys, I can't find the urxvt-perls package in the newest ubuntu.. anyone have this set up? | 20:49 |
| anew | i tried figuring out what apt is .. .but it's not for downloading? | 20:50 |
| anew | ok yeats | 20:50 |
| anew | i just installed linux | 20:50 |
| anew | and i would like to download something from the command line - specifically firefox 18 | 20:50 |
| anew | i'd like to do it from the command line so i learn the commands | 20:50 |
| anew | (not the gui) | 20:50 |
| jaake | anew: you need to use apt-get | 20:50 |
| jaake | eg. sudo apt-get install firefox | 20:50 |
| anew | i thought apt-get was only for what was already on your computer ? | 20:51 |
| jaake | read: man apt-get | 20:51 |
| jaake | negaive | 20:51 |
| jaake | it is a full featured package management system | 20:51 |
| yeats | anew: by "linux" you mean "ubuntu" right? (just checking) | 20:51 |
| num7 | compdoc: Ok, thanks. I will try this. And stop writing yet. I don't want to increse the tetris-level here :-) | 20:51 |
| anew | ubuntu yes | 20:51 |
| anew | so apt-get can get things from the internet ? | 20:51 |
| jaake | yes | 20:51 |
| jaake | indeed | 20:51 |
| anew | how does apt-get know what 'firefox' is in your example ? | 20:52 |
| jaake | it is the tool you will be using for your package management needs in ubuntu | 20:52 |
| yeats | anew: I would go into the GUI and use a terminal emulator rather than just working from the TTY (but that's just me) | 20:52 |
| jaake | it queries the aptitude database that is on your computer | 20:52 |
| yeats | s/aptitude/APT/ | 20:52 |
| jaake | anew: you can update the database with: sudo apt-get update | 20:52 |
| anew | jaake - so isnt the aptitude database local? how can i get things from the internet ? | 20:53 |
| jaake | *note: sudo is just a command to temporarily give you admin perms | 20:53 |
| yeats | !apt | anew | 20:53 |
| ubottu | anew: APT is the Advanced Package Tool, which together with dpkg forms the basic Ubuntu package management toolkit. Short apt-get manual: https://help.ubuntu.com/community/AptGetHowto - Also see !Synaptic (Gnome), !Muon (KDE) or !Apper (KDE) | 20:53 |
| anew | for example i cant apt-get an image from imgur | 20:53 |
| jaake | anew: the database provide you with the target | 20:53 |
| jaake | the target is on the net | 20:53 |
| yeats | anew: read the link ubottu just shared | 20:53 |
| anew | yeah so confused, let me read that | 20:53 |
| anew | i tried wikipedia but what i got from that is that apt-get only gets things on ur computer | 20:54 |
| anew | i thought | 20:54 |
| anew | then jaake said it's from the internet so now i'm confused :) | 20:54 |
| jaake | anew apt-get uses mirrors to fetch the packages from | 20:54 |
| Pici | Its like downloading the card catalog for a library, but not actually checking out any books. | 20:54 |
| anew | so what if the card doesnt exist | 20:54 |
| yeats | anew: that link is a good guide to what's going on | 20:54 |
| jaake | i assure you that it "gets things from the internet" | 20:54 |
| Pici | (I wonder if 'card catalog' is an obsolete analogy now) | 20:54 |
| anew | then what do you use? wget ? | 20:54 |
| corehook | hi all! how to add user to some group ? | 20:54 |
| corehook | u 12.10 | 20:54 |
| yeats | Pici: I'm a librarian, so I like the analogy ;-) | 20:55 |
| jaake | wget simply downloads a file from an address | 20:55 |
| Pici | anew: then you you need to find another way to get the package, if one even exists. | 20:55 |
| llutz | corehook: sudo adduser username groupname | 20:55 |
| anew | ok | 20:55 |
| jaake | anew: read: man apt-get | 20:55 |
| anew | and how can i browse this card catalogue | 20:55 |
| jhutchins_wk | anew: apt is the general term for the .deb dpkg apt-get aptitude package management suite. | 20:55 |
| anew | how do i knwo what's in it | 20:55 |
| jaake | type: man apt-get | 20:55 |
| jhutchins_wk | anew: It is much better than downloading and installing individual packages. | 20:55 |
| jaake | I am sure there is a way to query it | 20:56 |
| jaake | I can't recall how | 20:56 |
| anew | ok pretty cool | 20:56 |
| jaake | I am sure it is in the manpage though | 20:56 |
| TheLordOfTime | jaake, what're you trying to do? | 20:56 |
| Pici | anew: The Software Center and apt-cache search both search through the catalog | 20:56 |
| jaake | I typically use gentoo so I am a little out of my elemnt here | 20:56 |
| anew | so if i can browse apt-get i can see what packages i can install, then it fetches these packages from the mirror downloads | 20:56 |
| anew | if i want something not on there i use wget | 20:56 |
| jhutchins_wk | anew: There are thousands of packages already optimized for Ubuntu available in various repositories. the apt system manages downloading all of the necessary dependencies and installing them into standard locations on the system. | 20:56 |
| anew | great so inforative | 20:56 |
| Pici | anew: Exactly, except if its not there then you have a bunch of options. | 20:56 |
| jaake | TheLordOfTime: I am here looking for anyone who has got urxvt-perls on 12.10 | 20:56 |
| jaake | I can't find the package | 20:57 |
| anew | pici bunch of options? like what ? | 20:57 |
| Pici | anew: Like PPAs, which are like user contributed catalogs. | 20:57 |
| TheLordOfTime | jaake, apt-cache search urxvt | 20:57 |
| TheLordOfTime | ? | 20:57 |
| jhutchins_wk | anew: It's better to try to find an apt compatible repository for what you want. | 20:57 |
| jaake | or know if it is compatible | 20:57 |
| Pici | !ppa | 20:57 |
| ubottu | A Personal Package Archive (PPA) can provide alternate software not normally available in the offical Ubuntu repositories - Looking for a PPA? See https://launchpad.net/ubuntu/+ppas - WARNING: PPAs are unsupported third-party packages, and you use them at your own risk. See also !addppa and !ppa-purge | 20:57 |
| anew | where is the list of ppa's ? | 20:57 |
| jaake | anew: ppa's are all over the place | 20:57 |
| jhutchins_wk | anew: That way the package management system knows all about what's installed where. It can cleanly uninstall and upgrade things, and it can share common libraries so you don't have to download them for each package. | 20:57 |
| Pici | anew: see ubottu's links above. But note that those are contributed and built by users, so Ubuntu can't really assure that it will work properly. | 20:57 |
| anew | ok so for now - only things in the apt catalogue | 20:58 |
| Pici | Right. | 20:58 |
| anew | if i want some rogue program i'd have to wget it tho | 20:58 |
| jhutchins_wk | anew: Try to stick to the official ubuntu repositories starting out, at least until you're more familiar with the system. | 20:58 |
| Pici | anew: Or stop by here and see if anyone knows how to get a package for it. | 20:58 |
| anew | yeah that's great | 20:58 |
| anew | now only to find an online list of packages | 20:58 |
| anew | yeah awesome channel | 20:58 |
| evilbit | hi guys... I'm new to ubuntu, switching from a long-time redhat sysadming job... I'm working on automated installs and have a preseed file working... I'm seeking help on a minimal set of packages to install and was looking for pointers | 20:58 |
| anew | ok my wife is screaming at me to go watch a movie lol | 20:58 |
| anew | thanks everyone | 20:58 |
| jhutchins_wk | anew: aptitude search, or just run aptitude for a menu interface (on console). | 20:59 |
| anew | cool | 20:59 |
| jaake | so no one has the perl extensions for rxvt-unicode running on 12.10 | 21:00 |

| znx | sigh ..im still trying to install ubuntu .. it hung at the "Preparing to install" .. turns out that it doesnt like swap paritions on the current disk .. wiped them .. now it is stuck at the disk preparation | 21:04 |
| znx | i have to say in comparision to mint or fedora this installer needs work | 21:04 |
| angs | I have ubuntu 12.10. I have a 2 GB SD card that has a linux distribution. how can I get image of the SD card? | 21:04 |

| Jayneil | How to triple boot Ubuntu 12.10, 12.04 and windows? | 21:05 |
| compdoc | znx, I install ubuntu a lot. Never have issues. Are you dual-booting or something? | 21:05 |
| Jayneil | I already have windows on one partition and on the other partition, I want 12.10 and 12.04 | 21:06 |
| znx | compdoc: im just trying to install it on a machine .. that is all no dual boot no fancy setup .. im just accepting the defaults | 21:06 |
| Jayneil | So which would be the best approach..? | 21:06 |
| znx | the trouble i have is that it is just hanging and not telling me what to do | 21:06 |
| compdoc | znx, is it a uefi bios? | 21:06 |
| znx | it has been sitting on the disk prep for almost an hour now | 21:06 |
| znx | no | 21:06 |
| BluesKaj | znx, I ran into a similar problem..it turns out to be a HW recognition problem , which has been reported as a bug many times | 21:06 |
| compdoc | are you creating the partitions by hand? | 21:07 |
| znx | compdoc: no .. accepting defaults | 21:07 |
| znx | if i go to the shell .. i can see nothing on the disks .. fdisk is clear | 21:07 |
| compdoc | something is wrong, then. Should install in less than 30 mins | 21:07 |
| compdoc | more like 15 | 21:07 |
| znx | compdoc: this i know .. but *what* is wrong .. | 21:07 |
| znx | i have no idea what to do .. it doesnt tell me its problems | 21:08 |
| znx | the installer log is empty as well | 21:08 |
| znx | which seems wrong to me .. | 21:08 |
| compdoc | znx, do you happen to known the drive's partition type? what size is the drive? | 21:08 |
| znx | like i say i have had mint and fedora on this machine before and they "just installed" .. :\ | 21:08 |
| znx | so i know the stuff is ok | 21:08 |
| znx | compdoc: there is *no* partitions .. | 21:08 |
| znx | and the disks are SATA | 21:08 |
| compdoc | znx, is sata set to ahci in the bios? | 21:09 |
| znx | there is no such setting in the bios | 21:09 |
| gryg | Hello I've tried to run Ununtu 12.04 PL but I've got udevd[256]: timeout: killing /sbin/blkid -o udev -p /dev/sdc [529 | 21:09 |
| OerHeks | znx how did you wipe your swap partition? | 21:09 |
| gryg | any idea how to fix this? | 21:09 |
| znx | OerHeks: with fdisk at the command prompt on the previous run | 21:09 |
| compdoc | is the drive on port one or two? or is it on another sata port, like 5 or 6? | 21:09 |
| znx | simply deleted the partitons | 21:09 |
| znx | compdoc: channel 2 | 21:10 |
| compdoc | znx, at this point, I think you should boot gparted and take a peek. set the parition type to msdos | 21:10 |
| compdoc | channel 2 is good | 21:10 |
| znx | compdoc: what partition ? | 21:10 |
| znx | there isnt a partition | 21:10 |
| compdoc | even if there is no partition, there is a type | 21:11 |
| znx | O_o | 21:11 |
| gridwest_user | what does restricted mean in the ubuntu-restricted-extras | 21:11 |
| compdoc | it has to be set before creating a part. | 21:11 |
| faust1002 | hello guys | 21:11 |
| ejv | Ubiquity functions without error most of the time, i'd be suspicious of your hardware; if you think you found a bug, file it on Ubiquity's LaunchPad | 21:12 |
| znx | compdoc: i have no idea what you mean .. a partition type is applied to a partition | 21:12 |
| znx | when there is no partitions .. how do i set a type against nothing? | 21:12 |
| Epx998 | Does the Pantech UML290 work on Ubuntu yet? | 21:12 |
| compdoc | I just had a problem where a drive was once part of a raid, and ubuntu refused to see it. had to use gparted to clear it | 21:12 |
| znx | well this disk was previous used for fedora .. which worked fine | 21:13 |
| OerHeks | gridwest_user, patent and copyright restrictions complicate distribution of software to support non-free formats. | 21:13 |
| DJones | gridwest_user: Restricted generally means that some of the packages are restricted by copyright or legal issues in some countries | 21:13 |
| OerHeks | see https://help.ubuntu.com/community/RestrictedFormats | 21:14 |
| ejv | well fedora != ubuntu; likewise, anaconda != ubiquity :) | 21:15 |
| gridwest_user | thank you this helps alot guys | 21:15 |
| R0ma1n | Hello guys. Please What is the complete line command to install missing dependencies please ? It begins with apt-get install ... but I miss the option ^^' | 21:15 |
| znx | sigh .. i guess i have to get gparted .. this seems so wrong just to install ubuntu .. no? | 21:15 |
| ejv | the install disc should carry parted, i would drop to command line and manually repartition | 21:16 |
| OerHeks | R0ma1n, apt-get install -f | 21:16 |
| ejv | R0ma1n: man apt-get | 21:16 |
| znx | ejv: i can just type parted on the command line? | 21:16 |
| ClientAlive | something in update-alternatives for gcc doesn't look right. Can someone help me get it sorted? | 21:16 |
| ejv | znx: of course | 21:16 |
| R0ma1n | OerHeks, Thanks ! :D | 21:16 |
| znx | ok let see | 21:16 |
| R0ma1n | ejv, I will next time ;) | 21:16 |

| cameronc | Hey guys is there any reason my linux install constantly freezes up? | 21:27 |
| Burritoh | cameronc: more info would be handy... versions? does alt+ctrl+F1 do anything? | 21:28 |
| === Kitar|st_ is now known as Kitar|st | ||
| Burritoh | the last time I had that problem, it turned out to be a faulty USB device, believe it or not. | 21:28 |
| Burritoh | cameronc: to get back to your normal interface, alt+ctrl+f8 | 21:29 |
| === Noskcaj is now known as Noskcaj_AFK | ||
| cameronc | Burritoh: Yeah opens up a console. Running Ubuntu 12.10 | 21:30 |
| Burritoh | I mean, does it work if you are frozen? | 21:30 |
| cameronc | Burritoh: Haven't tried | 21:30 |
| Burritoh | if it works, it might be X that crashes... | 21:30 |
| Burritoh | if it doesn't, it might be between X and the kernel, I'm not sure | 21:30 |
| HfE2000 | \bye | 21:31 |
| Chais | can someone please give me kernel options of a working upstart boot? | 21:32 |
| Burritoh | cameronc: might also be handy to check /var/log/ - use a file browser, and sort it by date modified. If you pick a log modified close to the time of your crash, you might find a clue | 21:33 |
| Chais | Burritoh: could you please give me your kernel params | 21:35 |
| Burritoh | I don't use UEFI.. would it still be applicable? | 21:35 |
| Burritoh | and I run Mint. I'm not sure where to get them. | 21:35 |
| Chais | probably yes | 21:35 |
| Chais | as long as it runs upstart it should be fine | 21:36 |
| Burritoh | trying to find out how to get kernel params now :V | 21:37 |
| Chais | Burritoh: depending on your bootloader there's a file in /boot/ or a subdir | 21:39 |
| Burritoh | Chais: maybe this is helpful, scroll down to the highlighted part... it's my copy of /boot/grub/grub.cfg http://pastebin.com/dc45SttZ | 21:40 |

| cameronc | Burritoh: I can still use alt ctrl f1 when my computer freezes momentarily | 21:42 |
| Burritoh | PeTaz: Steamint counts? :P | 21:42 |
| Burritoh | oh, so it's not a crash | 21:42 |
| Burritoh | cameronc: it might be a graphics driver problem, is my first thought | 21:42 |
| Burritoh | cameronc: is your system up to date, including gfx drivers? | 21:43 |
| cameronc | Burritoh: It should be. I updated my system yesterday | 21:43 |
| Burritoh | cameronc: my second thought is something that is using a lot of memory, and the swap speed being terrible | 21:43 |
| Burritoh | gnome-system-monitor (if they still have that in Ubuntu) would show that | 21:44 |
| Burritoh | why are there three FloodBots? | 21:44 |
| mjuszczak | Anyone here familiar with mylvmbackup? | 21:47 |
| Burritoh | cameronc: if it's a graphics driver problem, you might consider switching graphics drivers... I think all three (Intel, ATI, and nVidia) have two main versions. Open source, and closed source. | 21:47 |

| lbj_90 | CaleSmoke I'm running Xubuntu 12.10, hope it's appropriate enough to use this board. | 22:25 |
| lbj_90 | The error pertains to a usb device I think. I can get a readout of it if you want -- I don't know where to source the problem from so i don't know where to get started. | 22:25 |
| Burritoh | Marcellina: or even a virtual machine, if you can manage directly connecting the physical drive to the virtual machine. I don't know how to do that. | 22:25 |
| CaleSmoke | I don't have a solution, lbj_90, I can just relate. | 22:26 |
| Marcellina | I know all this, I've been wondering why there is no support. | 22:26 |
| lbj_90 | CaleSmoke does your error say something like hid-generic? | 22:26 |
| DJones | Marcellina: This may help, aparantly Labelflash Index Maker can be installed using wine (but it is an old report) http://appdb.winehq.org/objectManager.php?sClass=version&iId=7932&iTestingId=11815 | 22:26 |
| wiggmpk | Marcellina: the obvious answer is, it doesnt garner enough support to matter... | 22:26 |
| Burritoh | Marcellina: to put it bluntly, the same reason things like Microsoft don't support Office on Linux yet. Linux is a tiny market for big companies like that, who look for money. | 22:27 |
| Burritoh | the Linux Desktop is a tiny market* | 22:27 |
| CaleSmoke | lbj_90, I can't even read it, it is so quick. But it doesn't stop anything from functioning properly. Although, the initial one line message grows to four or five as I continue to ignore it. | 22:27 |
| wiggmpk | Marcellina: you should really direct that question to the publisher of the software, ask them why they dont support Linux.. | 22:27 |
| lbj_90 | CaleSmoke are your virtual terminals disabled or do they just quickly display the message? Mine dont' work period. | 22:28 |
| CaleSmoke | virtual terminals work fine. | 22:28 |
| Marcellina | Which software? | 22:29 |
| wiggmpk | Marcellina: Labelflash........ | 22:29 |
| DuxB | I'm copying an entire hard drive to an image using dd, and need to later shrink one of the partitions in the image before I can write it back to disk. Is this possible? | 22:30 |
| Marcellina | It's a technology just like Lightscribe. | 22:30 |
| === xiambax_ is now known as xiambax | ||
| wiggmpk | Marcellina: *sigh* and requires software to utilize it.. much like a driver | 22:30 |
| === LaserShark is now known as LaserShark|busy | ||
| Marcellina | What's with the Ubuntu Burning Team? | 22:31 |
| Burritoh | They cannot reverse-engineer patented software. | 22:31 |
| wiggmpk | Marcellina: so I'm sure the physical disc drive works under Ubuntu.. however the feature of burning a pretty picture to the top of the disc isnt | 22:31 |
| Burritoh | It's not legal. | 22:31 |
| Burritoh | (Except if they ask the company, but there is little motivation for that currently) | 22:32 |
| Marcellina | I know it's illegal in some countries. | 22:32 |
| wiggmpk | this seems like a circular conversation | 22:32 |
| Burritoh | We should end it | 22:32 |
| Marcellina | I don't know if they tried to legally obtain the license. Do you? | 22:32 |
| ubuntu22 | I am trying to delete files from a package that I installed that is causing my ubuntu system to fail. Is it possible to "uninstall" the package by deleting all the files in the "File list of package" on packages.ubuntu.com? | 22:33 |
| Burritoh | ubuntu22: hm, I usually uninstall through Synaptic, can't you do this for some reason? | 22:34 |
| wiggmpk | Marcellina: like I said before.. this is NOT the place for the questions you are asking.. contact the manufacturer | 22:34 |
| Marcellina | I mean it's old technology, Yamaha/Fujifilm could give it away for free to get it supported, right? | 22:34 |
| ubuntu22 | Burritoh, I am trying to recover an ubuntu install that will not boot because of a certain package that's installed. I also cannot chroot while in live cd for some reason | 22:35 |
| Myrtti | Marcellina: Wikipedia says 2005, so in patent rights terms no it's not old | 22:35 |
| xangua | Marcellina: then tell yamaha/fujifilm that :) | 22:35 |
| Burritoh | Marcellina: I suggest you take initiative and courteously ask YAMAHA here: support-labelflash@avkk.yamaha.co.jp - or the Ubuntu Burning Team here: https://lists.ubuntu.com/mailman/listinfo/Ubuntu-burning | 22:35 |
| Myrtti | Marcellina: can we move on, this isn't actually an issue that can be changed on this channel | 22:35 |
| Marcellina | Alright, enough fuzz. Thanks everyone. | 22:36 |
| ColinHarrington | Hey, I just got a new bluetooth keyboard (the Logitech bluetooth easy switch) and am having trouble pairing it. Where can I find good information on how to debug this stuff and fix it? #12.04, http://www.logitech.com/en-us/product/bluetooth-easyswitch-keyboard-business?crid=656 | 22:36 |
| Burritoh | ubuntu22: no backups? :( | 22:36 |
| stevieo | I am trying to install Ubuntu 12.10 from a hot disc onto a Latitude D510. The installation hangs on the starting installation screen. I am stumped (and new to Ubuntu, but not the cli). Any and all assistance is appreciated! | 22:38 |
| compdoc | stevieo, might try 12.04 | 22:38 |
| ubuntu22 | Burritoh, I just need to uninstall packages without being in the system. | 22:38 |
| Burritoh | ubuntu22: I think you could play around with the files mentioned here (or similar files relating to your package) http://www.piprime.fr/1480/manually-remove-broken-package-debian-ubuntu/ ... but I suggest making a backup of the broken system (if possible) before you do so. | 22:38 |
| Burritoh | or the file list you mentioned | 22:39 |
| stevieo | Good thought! Thanks, will attempt. | 22:39 |
| CaleSmoke | stevieo, Try to reburn the disc? Slow down write speed? It could very well have been a write error. | 22:39 |
| CaleSmoke | I recommend 12.04 over 12.10 as well. | 22:39 |
| Burritoh | also, if you look at the Synaptic UI, right click on a package, Properties > Installed files, maybe that might be a list of files you can delete? I'm not sure | 22:39 |
| Burritoh | ubuntu22: *also, if you look at the Synaptic UI, right click on a package, Properties > Installed files, maybe that might be a list of files you can delete? I'm not sure | 22:40 |
| yourimym1 | hey any idea how to install java after downloading it's file | 22:40 |
| Burritoh | Packaging is not my strong point. Seems like something many people have troubles with. | 22:40 |
| anew | ok back, so is there a site like cpan but for linux packages ? | 22:40 |
| CaleSmoke | JAVA= Just another vulnerability announcement. | 22:40 |
| _goxxsy_ | `hi :-) | 22:41 |
| Burritoh | anew: packages.ubuntu.com ? (the web interface for the Ubuntu repositories) | 22:41 |
| Burritoh | CaleSmoke: lol | 22:41 |
| CaleSmoke | yourimym1, http://www.java.com/en/download/help/linux_x64_install.xml | 22:41 |
| kraghot | hey guys. What's up? | 22:42 |
| ubuntu22 | Burritoh, I think that is the same list I am looking at. But during an install of a package isn't it possible for the package the edit files that were already on the system? I am afraid to delete files that I may need. Do you know the best way to make an image of the file system? | 22:42 |
| CaleSmoke | Heard that on SecurityNow with Steve Gibson, Burritoh. | 22:42 |
| Burritoh | there should be a seperate channel for dpkg problems XD there are so many of them | 22:42 |
| anew | ah sweet thanks burrito | 22:42 |
| Burritoh | ubuntu22: to answer the very last question, fsarchiver. There's a wikibook on it. I'll fetch it. | 22:42 |
| Burritoh | ubuntu22: https://en.wikibooks.org/wiki/How_To_Backup_Operating_Systems#Create_Partition_Backup_-_FSArchiver_Method | 22:43 |
| Burritoh | that's the method I use | 22:43 |
| Burritoh | I back up about once every three months | 22:43 |
| PeTaz | how do i align 4k partitions? | 22:43 |
| kraghot | I'm having some problems with ubuntu... It seems to freeze randomly... There is nothing I can do but ctrl alt f2 which does work but I don't know how to return to gui. Any ideas? | 22:43 |
| SolarisBoy | CTRL+ALT+F7 | 22:44 |
| ev0lve | kragshot: graphics driver? take a look at your system processes before it freezes. | 22:44 |
| CaleSmoke | UPNP= Ur Probably Not Protected | 22:44 |
| kraghot | thank you SolarisBoy | 22:44 |
| SolarisBoy | but you most likely need to handle whatever is stucking up the gui first or the gui will be hung - check htop/top or other commands to figure out the issue while in the other TTY kraghot | 22:44 |
| wiggmpk | CaleSmoke: made for the ignorant so yeah.. duh | 22:45 |
| SolarisBoy | kraghot: a lot of times you'll be able to type in those spare TTY's unless the system is very badly hung so from there check top/ps etc to locate the problematic thingy | 22:45 |
| kraghot | could it be flash player? | 22:45 |
| PeTaz | http://www.zdnet.com/how-to-install-the-steam-gaming-client-on-ubuntu-gallery-7000011391/ | 22:45 |
| SolarisBoy | kraghot: check your system stats - use top or htop - or use ps with sorting | 22:45 |
| CaleSmoke | Convenience ALWAYS trumps security. | 22:45 |
| yourimym1 | i can't install java from these instruction need simple commands am newbie | 22:46 |
| CaleSmoke | Remember the WPS vulnerability? haha@ | 22:46 |
| Burritoh | CaleSmoke: if we wanted to be completely secure, we'd all be using embedded systems which cannot be reprogrammed. :P | 22:46 |
| wiggmpk | CaleSmoke: as fas as I know its still active | 22:46 |
| CaleSmoke | It is. | 22:46 |
| kraghot | well top is plugin-container which is flash player given I'm watching a yt video | 22:46 |
| Burritoh | kraghot: 'freeze' is such a wide symptom... it could be flash player, it could be your memory, it could be the meteor that landed in Russia :P j/k | 22:46 |
| kraghot | If it hangs again I'll try to find out what hanged it :D | 22:46 |
| wiggmpk | CaleSmoke: in fact, I believe in Linksys routers, even if you turn off WPS it doesnt disable it.. but this if !offtopic | 22:46 |
| PeTaz | the meteor didnt land | 22:47 |
| kraghot | I don't think it's the memory I've got 12 gb of good ram | 22:47 |
| ubuntu22 | Burritoh, I am trying to use this guide: http://karuppuswamy.com/wordpress/2010/06/02/how-to-chroot-to-ubuntu-using-live-cd-to-fix-grub-rescue-prompt/ But I cannot chroot to the folder because I get this error: chroot: cannot run command `/bin/bash': No such file or directory. Do you know why? | 22:47 |
| CaleSmoke | You're right, wiggmpk | 22:47 |
| CaleSmoke | Comical. | 22:47 |
| francis_ | how do i remove a libav codec? | 22:47 |
| Burritoh | ubuntu22: x_x if you chrooted correctly, that means even that system's version of bash isn't working correctly | 22:47 |
| SolarisBoy | kraghot: you should look at different sorting options for top a lot of times when top opens your active process will be there - sometimes you will see top itself - you need to sort it to get proper outputs | 22:48 |
| Burritoh | ubuntu22: in that system, is /bin/bash a valid file, if you mount it and look for it/ | 22:48 |
| francis_ | how do i remove a library? | 22:48 |
| Burritoh | ?* | 22:48 |
| SolarisBoy | kraghot: on the top of top .. there should be generic reading on cpu/memory/swap usage | 22:48 |
| CaleSmoke | I can't believe the cost of laptops preloaded with ubuntu. i.e. zareason and system76. | 22:48 |
| SolarisBoy | francis_: with apt-get remove or purge | 22:48 |
| kraghot | SolarisBoy, yes I have cpu and mem % | 22:48 |
| kraghot | steam seems to be using a lot but it's downloading tf2 so... | 22:48 |
| ev0lve | kraghot: use "l" to toggle the view of system load in top. | 22:49 |
| ubuntu22 | Burritoh, yes everything is there. I just installed 32 bit versions of libc stuff and now it panics at boot. | 22:49 |
| Burritoh | o.O | 22:49 |
| kraghot | ev0lve, yep steam and flash player | 22:49 |
| francis_ | what is the command solaris boy? | 22:49 |
| ev0lve | kraghot: what graphics card do you have installed? | 22:49 |
| ubuntu22 | Burritoh, I mean installed 32 bit libc stuff to 64 bit ubuntu | 22:49 |
| SolarisBoy | apt-get remove 'package' | 22:49 |
| kraghot | I have ATI hd5850 | 22:49 |
| SolarisBoy | francis_: what library are you looking to remove? | 22:50 |
| ubuntu22 | Burritoh, now I am trying to uninstall it. | 22:50 |
| Burritoh | ubuntu22: yeah, I remember from what you said before, still weird to me | 22:50 |
| kraghot | Also yt videos lagg when I scroll in firefox | 22:50 |
| francis_ | is there a library manager program? | 22:50 |
| ev0lve | kraghot: i would look in to system updates or the "Additional Drivers" for a potentially updated driver | 22:50 |
| kraghot | my drivers are probably in error | 22:50 |
| SolarisBoy | francis_: libraries are installed (by default) as normal packages | 22:50 |
| Burritoh | kraghot: (if you don't find help here specific to Steam, #ubuntu-steam is worth a go) | 22:50 |
| kraghot | ev0lve, I've just installed this system today | 22:50 |
| SolarisBoy | francis_: hence you manage libraries with the normal package manager - apt or software center | 22:51 |
| kraghot | but I've enabled experimental drivers | 22:51 |
| francis_ | ok well i m trying to install the restricted extras but i cant figure out how to remove libavcodec53 | 22:51 |
| kraghot | Burritoh, ok tnx :D | 22:51 |
| thaurwylth | Hrm. I'm trying to get this Terratex Aureon 7.1 USB to work. (For so-so reference, see http://alsa.opensrc.org/TerratecAureonUSB5.1 ) | 22:52 |
| francis_ | solaris boy you there? | 22:52 |
| SolarisBoy | francis_: can you post to pastebin the output of 'apt-cache policy libavcodec53' | 22:52 |
| SolarisBoy | francis_: yes. i am here. | 22:52 |
| thaurwylth | So, is that custom .asoundrc thing still valid? | 22:53 |

| Mrokii | Hello. Does anybody know how I can rotate a video (by 90 degrees) with any kind of app in Ubuntu? I tried ffmpeg and VLC according to tutorials on the net, but that didn't work. | 22:54 |
| SolarisBoy | Burritoh: that was a good show ! =) | 22:55 |
| francis_ | solaris boy sorry about that where do i paste it so you can see it | 22:55 |
| Burritoh | ubuntu22: on first sight, I can see a command that the site you pasted doesn't have: sudo chroot /mnt /bin/bash | 22:55 |
| francis_ | it appears to be an update for an amd64 | 22:55 |
| SolarisBoy | Mrokii: ffmpeg | 22:55 |
| SolarisBoy | Mrokii: ffmpeg -vfilters "rotate=90" -i input.mp4 output.mp4 -- something like that would do | 22:55 |
| ubuntu22 | Burritoh, thanks for the help I'll check out the link. I also did try to use the argument /bin/bash and /mnt_pt/bin/bash but it didn't work | 22:57 |
| francis_ | solarisboy how do i fix that? | 22:57 |
| SolarisBoy | francis_: and why do you need to remove this library - is there a conflict when you try to install restricted-extras? | 22:57 |
| Mrokii | Nope, doesn't work. Just gives me an error that "rotate=90" can't be set for option "vfilters". | 22:58 |
| francis_ | yah there is, it says these items must be removed libavcodec53 and 51 | 22:58 |
| Burritoh | anyone got any ideas for ubuntu22's problem? He needs to uninstall a 32-bit package that broke his 64-bit system, from a liveCD. | 22:58 |
| SolarisBoy | Mrokii: ffmpeg is rather picky - let me check the man page (you should to, anyway thats the software you would use, and likely others gui based will wrap around a command like that) | 22:58 |
| francis_ | anything? | 22:59 |
| SolarisBoy | Mrokii: ffmpeg -vf "rotate=90" -i /mnt/media/video/home/20120809_194852.mp4 /tmp/test.mp4 || this command is working for me now - | 23:00 |
| Burritoh | I bet people get more help in here when they use a girlish nickname. XD | 23:00 |
| francis_ | hahaha | 23:00 |
| SolarisBoy | Mrokii: replace it with your file names - | 23:00 |
| yourimym1 | if youtube crushes too much what do i need ? | 23:01 |
| SolarisBoy | francis_: so basically when you try to do this installation it fails saying it can't proceed because you need to remove those manually? | 23:01 |
| francis_ | yes | 23:01 |
| SolarisBoy | francis_: i believe this happend to me and i tried apt-get install -f first. | 23:01 |
| Mrokii | SolarisBoy: Doesn't work for me. It says "No such filter: 'rotate'" | 23:01 |
| Burritoh | yourimym1: you can try not using flash. Youtube supports HTML5, to some extent. https://www.youtube.com/html5 | 23:02 |
| SolarisBoy | Mrokii: francis_ - a little cheat as well im using libavcodec and ffmpeg from the ffmpeg official repo =) | 23:02 |
| francis_ | how exactly do you do that? | 23:02 |
| ubuntu22 | Burritoh, I check out the link you posted and no luck, it's pretty much the same stuff on the link I posted. Everyone's solution is to chroot. | 23:02 |
| SolarisBoy | thats probably why your ffmpeg is old out of date - Mrokii | 23:02 |
| Burritoh | ubuntu22: ah :/ | 23:02 |
| Mrokii | SolarisBoy: Okay, thanks. | 23:03 |
| SolarisBoy | Mrokii: because you probably have the ubuntu ffmpeg default version - but you can just check the man page for the proper option the rotate filter should exist | 23:03 |

| Mrokii | SolarisBoy: Why harsh? I have lots of repos included already, so I won't mind another one. :) | 23:08 |
| trey_ | Does anyone know how I can install my wifi adapter on my computer? | 23:08 |

| autobus | can anyone help me install the gpu | 23:09 |
| ubuntu22 | Burritoh, now my cursor has disappeared in lice cd.. | 23:09 |
| trey_ | Haha, I tried that already, and I tried a couple other things I found online but none of them seemed to work | 23:09 |
| francis_ | ah well whatever i gota fly | 23:09 |
| Mrokii | SolarisBoy: :D I don't. I want new versions of software when they're released. | 23:09 |
| francis_ | thanks for your help anyways solarisboy | 23:09 |
| Burritoh | ubuntu22: reboot D: | 23:09 |
| autobus | do you hear me? | 23:09 |
| Burritoh | autobus: no, I see you. :P | 23:10 |
| Chais | Burritoh: thanks for your help earlier. gf needed the computer as I'm blocking hers | 23:10 |
| autobus | cool | 23:10 |
| SolarisBoy | no worries francis_ - i was going to say you can try removing them manually also - they probably have a lot of deps in stuff like your mplayer and what not but meh - if you put them back from another source they should be fine | 23:10 |
| autobus | do you know how to install nvidia support to ubuntu | 23:10 |
| trey_ | Is there anyway to talk to an Ubuntu employee through this Channel? | 23:10 |
| Burritoh | Chais: ah, do you need the link again? | 23:10 |
| SolarisBoy | as stated i use most of my av libs from the ffmpeg ppa | 23:10 |
| Burritoh | autobus: is this for Steam? | 23:11 |
| Cogboy | Okay, so, it will let me connect to the Ubuntu IRC, but not to reddit IRC? | 23:11 |
| autobus | no | 23:11 |
| autobus | I need it for minecraft | 23:11 |
| autobus | I opened it once | 23:11 |
| autobus | and it lagged | 23:11 |
| autobus | but I couldn't open it again | 23:11 |
| autobus | :D | 23:11 |
| Burritoh | ah | 23:11 |
| Burritoh | autobus: you can install it by going to "Additional drivers" (I think the Unity menu will have it) and selecting the latest version of the drivers (but not 'experimental' if you are not using Steam games) | 23:12 |
| Chais | Burritoh: nope, still have it open. but didn't help, I'm afraid. turns out the 12.10 image installed 12.04 and didn't even ask me about the architecture but jstu installed i686 -_- | 23:12 |
| autobus | I am on 12.04 | 23:12 |
| autobus | will that work? | 23:12 |
| Burritoh | autobus: should do | 23:12 |
| autobus | ok I am on it thanks | 23:12 |

| trey_ | Hey Burritoh, you seem pretty intelligent. Do you know how I can get my wifi adapter to work on Ubuntu? | 23:13 |
| Burritoh | <trey_> Is there anyway to talk to an Ubuntu employee through this Channel? <-- Canonical employees can probably be emailed, or contacted on mailing lists | 23:13 |
| Burritoh | trey_: what adaptor is it? it's likely that ndiswrapper is needed for certain adaptors | 23:14 |
| Burritoh | trey_: most people don't contact Canonical directly regarding distro problems, but rather go to sites like AskUbuntu or the Ubuntu forums | 23:15 |
| autobus | burritoh | 23:15 |
| autobus | it opens for a few seconds | 23:15 |
| autobus | and nothing happens after it | 23:15 |
| Burritoh | the additional drivers window? | 23:16 |
| autobus | I tried installing additional drivers (jockey-kde) | 23:16 |
| Burritoh | oh | 23:16 |
| autobus | and I started it from terminal | 23:16 |
| autobus | but it doesn't work either | 23:16 |
| moth | s | 23:16 |
| demonio | hi all how can i install perl-modules on my ubuntu 12.10? | 23:16 |
| anew | what's the easiest lamp to install ? | 23:16 |
| anew | lamp-server^ | 23:17 |
| anew | ? | 23:17 |
| Burritoh | autobus: I think try this: "sudo apt-get install nvidia-current nvidia-settings" (those are the closed source drivers) | 23:18 |
| autobus | it won't break the computer right ? :D | 23:19 |
| wiggmpk | fortune favors the bold | 23:19 |
| Burritoh | well, I hope not :P I've had bad luck with drivers. It can usually be recovered. Having another internet connected computer is handy. | 23:19 |
| autobus | hmm | 23:19 |
| autobus | is there any safer way to do that :D | 23:19 |
| autobus | I didn't try from installing www.geforce.com | 23:20 |
| autobus | *installing from | 23:20 |
| autobus | the original driver from the original website | 23:20 |
| histo | !lamp | anew | 23:20 |
| ubottu | anew: LAMP is an acronym for Linux-Apache-MySQL-PHP. However, the term is often used for setups using alternative but different software, such as Perl or Python instead of PHP, and Postgres instead of MySQL. For help with setting up LAMP on Ubuntu, see https://help.ubuntu.com/community/ApacheMySQLPHP - See also the Server CD installation process. | 23:20 |
| autobus | the readme/manual was too much complicated for me | 23:20 |
| lbj_90 | I'm trying to diagnose an issue I've been having with hangups after standby and not being able to access a virtual terminal screen -- I get two lines w/ some error about hid-generic. I can copy the full thing over for anyone interested. | 23:21 |
| histo | autobus: readme for what? | 23:21 |
| Burritoh | autobus: hm, I think it will yield the same result... I'm not sure but I think all that jockey does is fetch the drivers from the restricted repositories | 23:22 |
| demonio | how can i install perl-modules on ubuntu 12.10 | 23:22 |
| demonio | ? | 23:22 |
| Burritoh | autobus: you could also try jockey-gtk, if possible | 23:22 |
| anew | histo this says do taskel, but i did lamp-server^ first | 23:22 |
| histo | anew: Then you are good to go. | 23:23 |
| anew | o rly | 23:23 |
| autobus | readme of official drivers from nvidia | 23:23 |
| anew | i thought i had to do taskel first | 23:23 |
| lbj_90 | demonio don't you just need sudo apt-get install? | 23:23 |
| Burritoh | histo: autobus is trying to install nvidia drivers. Jockey-kde fails. | 23:23 |
| histo | autobus: what card do you ahve? | 23:23 |
| autobus | gt 420m | 23:23 |
| histo | anew: Not if you selected the lamp stack during install. That's all tasksel does. | 23:23 |
| Burritoh | histo: the purpose is Minecraft. | 23:23 |
| histo | autobus: Yeah sudo apt-get install nvidia-current nvidia-settings | 23:24 |
| demonio | no it don't work lbj_90 | 23:24 |
| autobus | is that %100 working? | 23:24 |
| lbj_90 | demonio do you get an error message then? | 23:24 |
| Burritoh | autobus: I can't say for sure. I have nvidia-experimental-310, not nvidia-current. | 23:24 |
| ubuntu22 | Posted my question on stackoverflow: http://ubuntuforums.org/showthread.php?t=1434781 please take a look! | 23:24 |
| wiggmpk | autobus: i use nvidia-current-updates and minecraft works fine | 23:25 |
| autobus | so I put sudo apt-get install nvidia-current nvidia-settings nvidia-current-updates ? | 23:25 |
| Burritoh | Minecraft even worked for me when I used nouveau... | 23:25 |
| histo | autobus: It installs the proprietary driver for your card. If you want more information follow the link from ubottu | 23:25 |
| histo | !nvidia | autobus | 23:25 |
| ubottu | autobus: For Ati/NVidia/Matrox video cards, see https://help.ubuntu.com/community/VideoDriverHowto | 23:25 |
| wiggmpk | autobus: no, nvidia-current and nvidia-current-updates are 2 different driver versions.. you should be fine with nvidia-current | 23:26 |
| deadmund | How can I get the following permissions on a file? -rwsr-sr-x ?? | 23:26 |
| autobus | sudo apt-get install nvidia-current nvidia-settings | 23:26 |
| autobus | so this one? | 23:26 |
| wiggmpk | yes | 23:26 |
| demonio | lbj_90: yes it return "E: the package perl-modules must be reinstalled, but isn't possible find one in archive | 23:27 |
| demonio | " | 23:27 |
| autobus | ok I am doing it | 23:27 |
| Burritoh | I'm gonna go do work, bye. | 23:27 |
| autobus | bye | 23:27 |
| jrib | deadmund: why do you want to? Those "s"s correspond to setuid and setgid | 23:27 |
| autobus | thanks for the help | 23:27 |
| Burritoh | np :) | 23:28 |
| lbj_90 | demonio I'm not very knowledgeable on this one, but I asked because it worked on my machine. Have you modified your repositories/sources? | 23:28 |
| autobus | its downloading | 23:29 |
| demonio | no no i just installed today ubuntu and it've some problem | 23:29 |
| autobus | do I have to do anything after this? | 23:29 |
| demonio | it has** | 23:29 |
| lagbox | anyone know if any kernel images have been created like the kernel 2.6 poster for newer kernels ? | 23:29 |
| wiggmpk | autobus: restart your computer | 23:30 |
| autobus | only that? | 23:30 |
| wiggmpk | autobus: yes.. in theory | 23:30 |
| autobus | ok | 23:30 |
| autobus | hope it works | 23:30 |
| autobus | or I'll uninstall wine | 23:30 |
| autobus | :P | 23:30 |
| FloodBot1 | autobus: Please don't flood; use http://paste.ubuntu.com to paste; don't use Enter as punctuation. | 23:30 |
| wiggmpk | autobus: this is all for minecraft? are you trying to run minecraft via WINE? | 23:31 |
| autobus | no | 23:31 |
| josh146 | anyone know if it is possible to share a single desktop with multiple people using x11vnc? | 23:31 |
| autobus | I only want the gpu to work either | 23:31 |
| autobus | for some other games too | 23:31 |
| autobus | and while watching videos, it helps | 23:31 |
| autobus | will it say "the task is done" when it finishes? | 23:32 |
| Eagles | Hello. Someone summarize this thread (http://ubuntuforums.org/showthread.php?t=2084592&page=28) for me and lay it out and explain how I "purge" wine1.4 <3 | 23:33 |
| wiggmpk | autobus: i dont know the exact verbage but it should indicate when its finished | 23:33 |
| autobus | ok | 23:34 |
| minas | when I open the dash after I turn on my pc, the first time it takes about a minute to load the icons, recent files etc. Is this normal? Can I do something to improve that time? | 23:34 |
| autobus | it is most probably normal | 23:34 |
| autobus | may be because of your hdd or ram speed | 23:34 |
| josh146 | anyone have any suggestions for sharing a desktop with multiple users? | 23:35 |
| minas | autobus, 4 GB ram with i5 2.5 GHz. I don't think that's the problem | 23:35 |
| div33435 | i want to install java for my browsers. i installed openjdk java 7 runtime via muon and restarted chrome but it still doesnt have the plugin | 23:35 |
| wiggmpk | minas: now when you say "about a minute" is this just you being impatient, assuming it should be quicker, or have you timed it? | 23:36 |
| minas | wiggmpk, I haven't timed it, but it's not that I am impatient :) It takes a good amount of time, and it is about 1 minute (real time). The problem is, if after some time I type a key, the search works. But If I don't, it takes more time to display things on its own | 23:38 |
| wolftune | hey, anyone tried LibreOffice 4? | 23:38 |
| wolftune | Is it going to be backported to 12.04 LTS? | 23:38 |
| wiggmpk | minas: let me understand this.. if you open the dash and type nothing.... it takes longer to populate "things"? | 23:39 |
| minas | wiggmpk, yes. | 23:40 |
| Eagles | Anyone who got Netflix to work on 12.10? | 23:40 |
| wiggmpk | minas: but if you open it and start typing it works 'quickly' as expected? | 23:40 |
| wolftune | ugh Netlix :P | 23:40 |
| mike304 | anyone tried installing league of legends on ubuntu? | 23:40 |
| wolftune | bleah | 23:40 |
| minas | wiggmpk, no, it is still slow. If I type something AFTER some time has passed (~20 seconds) it will display the results. If I type something earlier than 20 seconds, it will still take time | 23:41 |
| wiggmpk | Eagles: Netflix doesnt exist to me | 23:41 |
| Eagles | wiggmpk, ok? | 23:41 |
| wolftune | wiggmpk: good. Netflix oughtn't exist | 23:41 |
| wiggmpk | minas: you can try using "sudo updatedb" but I dont use Unity, so I would just assume that its taking time to cache everything to your RAM | 23:42 |
| Eagles | What do you mean with that then? | 23:42 |
| wiggmpk | Eagles: sorry, i just really really really dislike Netflix | 23:42 |
| ubuntu22 | Can anyone help me recover my Ubuntu system? I am trying to uninstall packages on the bad system from the live cd but I am getting errors from chroot.. read more here: http://stackoverflow.com/questions/14905018/cant-chroot-to-recover-ubuntu-64 | 23:42 |
| demonio | nobody can help me? | 23:42 |
| wiggmpk | Eagles: they support Android and MAC OSx but clearly disregard the user base of Linux Desktop's | 23:42 |
| wolftune | netflix is about as bad as it gets for proprietary software that tracks you etc | 23:42 |
| Eagles | Thanks for letting me know about your opinion on Netflix guys | 23:43 |
| josh146 | Eagles, someone got NetFlix to work through wine | 23:43 |
| josh146 | more of a duct tape fix though | 23:43 |
| minas | wiggmpk, hmm. I hope will be faster in 13.04 (I heard it is) | 23:43 |
| Eagles | But I was never interested in them, because thisi s #ubuntu, not #opinions | 23:43 |
| wiggmpk | Eagles: this might help you out http://www.techrepublic.com/blog/opensource/how-to-get-netflix-streaming-on-ubuntu-1210/4019 | 23:43 |
| josh146 | Eagles, i would suggest running it in a windows VM | 23:44 |
| wiggmpk | Eagles: no need to have a hissy fit mate | 23:44 |
| Eagles | I am really not looking for links to tutorials, I have already gone through them all. I am looking for advice from people who have gotten it to work themselves | 23:44 |
| wolftune | so LibreOffice 4, anyone try? | 23:44 |
| josh146 | Eagles, again best solution is to run it in a vm | 23:44 |
| wiggmpk | Eagles: well then all I can say is it uses Silverlight which is Windows software and not really supported in this channel | 23:45 |
| Eagles | josh146, vm as in wine, right? | 23:45 |
| wolftune | Eagles: VM is as in Virtualbox | 23:45 |
| josh146 | Eagles, VM is in VirtualBox https://www.virtualbox.org/ | 23:46 |
| Eagles | wiggmpk, you're not interested in helping, I got that a long time ago, no need to waste our time anymore | 23:46 |
| Eagles | josh146, thanks- I'll check it out | 23:46 |
| lagbox | in 12.10 with unity i have this issue that i can only see certain icons in the tray when i am switching desktops .. when the switch is over they disappear again .. it is only the icons i had to whitelist | 23:46 |
| wolftune | Eagles: virtualbox means just running straight windows. It's just a way to do it without rebooting with a dual-boot | 23:46 |
| wiggmpk | have you tried the PPA for Netflix? | 23:47 |
| ubuntu22 | Can anyone help me recover my Ubuntu system? I am trying to uninstall packages on the bad system from the live cd but I am getting errors from chroot.. read more here: http://stackoverflow.com/questions/14905018/cant-chroot-to-recover-ubuntu-64 | 23:47 |
| wolftune | ubuntu22: why not just keep all your home files and otherwise reinstall? | 23:48 |
| markkkkkkkkkk | hi. can anyone tell me which driver I'm supposed to pick? ubuntu is so confusing. http://i.imgur.com/hiv2YyY.png | 23:48 |
| Eagles | wiggmpk, yes- I get "wine: cannot find 'firefox.exe' when using command "netflix-desktop --showdebug" | 23:48 |
| wiggmpk | Eagles: according to this article I'm reading it doesnt depend on WINE to work | 23:48 |
| lb27 | oh, did someone fix that silverlight silliness? | 23:49 |
| wolftune | markkkkkkkkkk: don't bother with additional drivers if everything is working without them | 23:49 |
| markkkkkkkkkk | wolftune. I tried to run Team Fortress 2 but steam said that my drivers suck | 23:49 |
| Eagles | wiggmpk, yes- but it didn't work at all like it was supposed to. alot of others have problems, some says wine is required, some not: http://ubuntuforums.org/showthread.php?p=12361333 | 23:49 |
| wolftune | markkkkkkkkkk: ah, well, you should look up specific things for your system | 23:50 |
| silverone | Hai every1. I have a raspberry server running mumble & openVPN, i want to ensure that if any of the processes crash they are brought back. i'm thinking of making a shell script. however, i'm split between running cron jobs or simply having (wait) in the scripts. which would be the best option ? | 23:50 |
| wolftune | markkkkkkkkkk: but you can try one thing and change later | 23:50 |
| ubuntu22 | wolftune, what would i lose if I did that? | 23:50 |
| markkkkkkkkkk | whats the difference between nvidia-current and nvidia-173 | 23:50 |
| OerHeks | markkkkkkkkkk, with nvidia 7600 GT i think the 173 driver | 23:50 |
| markkkkkkkkkk | and nividia-current-updates | 23:50 |
| wolftune | markkkkkkkkkk: just how new they are | 23:50 |
| markkkkkkkkkk | so nvidia drops support for older cards in the newer versions? | 23:51 |
| wolftune | markkkkkkkkkk: the older is 173, the current is current, the updates are cutting edge | 23:51 |
| markkkkkkkkkk | in windows I just download the latest one | 23:51 |
| wolftune | markkkkkkkkkk: no, older cards probably not dropped | 23:51 |
| wolftune | markkkkkkkkkk: just that newer might be buggy because it hasn't been tested as much | 23:51 |
| === kaisnumeral is now known as KaiSforza | ||
| === LaserShark|busy is now known as LaserShark|dead | ||
| markkkkkkkkkk | oh ok. I thought nvidia was working with steam to make the newer ones better for source games though | 23:52 |
| wiggmpk | Eagles: wolftune is right though, the easiest approach is to install Windows in a Virtual Machine and just use it like that | 23:52 |
| wolftune | markkkkkkkkkk: so try the newest if you have reason to think it has updates that matter | 23:52 |
| markkkkkkkkkk | nvidia-current vs nvidia-current-updates is the most confusing | 23:52 |
| loculinux | hello | 23:52 |
| shborn | привет | 23:52 |
| wolftune | markkkkkkkkkk: updates would be the very newest | 23:52 |
| markkkkkkkkkk | updates is newer right? | 23:52 |
| markkkkkkkkkk | oh ok thansks | 23:52 |
| loculinux | sasss | 23:52 |
| wolftune | markkkkkkkkkk: well, experimental is newer, but don't do that | 23:52 |
| markkkkkkkkkk | k I did updates | 23:53 |
| wolftune | markkkkkkkkkk: updates means newer than the Ubuntu release you are using, but stable | 23:53 |
| shborn | с России кто ? | 23:53 |
| OerHeks | !ru | shborn | 23:53 |
| ubottu | shborn: Пожалуйста наберите /join #ubuntu-ru для получения помощи на русском языке. | Pozhalujsta naberite /join #ubuntu-ru dlya polucheniya pomoshi na russkom yazyke. | 23:53 |
| markkkkkkkkkk | I wish they had the version number. on nvidia 304.64 is the newest | 23:54 |
| markkkkkkkkkk | nvidia.com that is | 23:54 |
| wolftune | markkkkkkkkkk: you can skip this and install from nvidia | 23:54 |
| demonio | pls can anyone help me? | 23:54 |
| wolftune | markkkkkkkkkk: if you want, follow nvidia instructions | 23:54 |
| wolftune | demonio: ask your question and see | 23:54 |
| markkkkkkkkkk | I'll try this first. seems easier | 23:54 |
| wolftune | markkkkkkkkkk: yup | 23:54 |
| OerHeks | use the driver installer not from the web, you won't get updates. | 23:55 |
| Ben64 | !info nvidia-current-updates | markkkkkkkkkk | 23:56 |

| markkkkkkkkkk | so it's not current with nvidia.com (304.64) | 23:57 |
| markkkkkkkkkk | kinda confusing terminology | 23:57 |
| Ben64 | for some reason | 23:57 |
| Ben64 | its .64 on 12.04 | 23:57 |

| Ben64 | or, if you plan to use steam (or do any gaming) you might want to get the experimental 310 ones | 23:58 |
| znx | so .. now ive just finished trying to install 12.04 .. it got further than 12.10 but again seems to have crapped out and isn't telling me why :( | 23:58 |
