[00:05] Ben64: this is the installer .. ? [00:05] znx: just wondering to see if i can help. didn't know the reason why ubuntu wouldnt install [00:05] k [00:05] i tried 12.10 it wouldnt pass the disk prep [00:05] 12.04 has passed that but is now stuck at the "reading package infomation" [00:05] but i dont know how to work out what is wrong === boze is now known as boze_afk [00:06] znx: how far into the process is that [00:06] also, laptop or desktop? 64 or 32 bit? computer specs? [00:06] Ben64: um very close to the start after the gui loads .. maybe two windows in from that [00:06] trying to dual boot? [00:06] no [00:06] the computer is old .. around 2008/9 [00:07] but ive been using fedora and mint on it .. up until yesterday [00:07] hmm [00:07] so i know it to be good working order [00:07] id really just like to find something that i can look at that would say "error this is wrong" .. [00:08] but there isnt anything :\ [00:08] the /var/log/installer/debug doesnt say anything useful either [00:08] jrib: http://paste.ubuntu.com/1660305/ [00:08] maybe bad media? [00:09] Ben64: i initally used a DVD .. then switched to USB .. then to another USB just to make sure [00:09] basically .. i dont think so [00:09] My system does not start. Stay in a endless loop: put my password, back to log screen... [00:09] have you checked the md5 [00:09] yes [00:09] http://paste.ubuntu.com/1660305/ [00:09] the original iso i used has been confirmed as matching the md5sum [00:10] id be happier if it was to blow up and dump errors at me .. but it simply hangs and says nothing [00:10] 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://askubuntu.com/questions/256653/cant-chroot-to-recover-ubuntu-64-bits [00:10] hmm [00:11] does anyone know if its possible to duel boot windows 7 with ubuntu and have MBr? [00:11] antony_: define MBr [00:11] antony_, you need to install grub to the mbr [00:11] ubuntu22: do the obvious is /media/x/bin/bash there ? [00:12] znx, yes sir. [00:12] ubuntu22: is it a link to another binary .. or it is the binary itself [00:12] maybe select /bin/sh [00:12] znx, how do I check that? [00:13] ubuntu22: ls -l /media/x/bin/bash [00:13] znx, I get this: -rwxr-xr-x 1 root root 934336 2010-04-19 02:16 /media/x/bin/bash [00:13] ls -F /media/x/bin/bash ... that can work too [00:14] znx, the F flag returns: /media/x/bin/bash* [00:14] Can anybody have a look in that link http://paste.ubuntu.com/1660305/ [00:14] actually ignore that question i said, next question is can someone tell me the difference between wubi and a regular install? [00:14] ubuntu22: a * means its an executable .. so thats good [00:14] an @ would represent a link to something [00:14] ubuntu22: try doing: ldd /media/x/bin/bash [00:14] znx, okay great. I think the answer is quite complex looking at the link I posted. [00:15] znx, what would you like to know about the ldd return info? [00:15] ubuntu22: it should list a bunch of lib.so. .. [00:16] znx, yes it did. [00:16] check to see that those exist in the /media/x/lib directory [00:16] do u guys use the gui on ubuntu ? [00:16] znx, okay thank you so much I will do that. [00:16] this is checking that the shared libraries exist .. as the second answer suggests they might not ubuntu22 .. [00:17] i.e. you maybe havent mounted all the partitions .. or maybe something broke on your system and removed the library it needs === wedgwood is now known as wedgwood_away [00:18] ubuntu22: basically you did something a bit bad .. libc is one of those core packages [00:18] breaking that breaks the whole system pretty much [00:18] Hello! Many ISPs' DHCP servers tell clients to use broken nameservers that resolve nonexistent domain names. I want to configure NetworkManager and dnsmasq to ignore the nameservers the ISP specifies and always to use 8.8.8.8 and 8.8.4.4. What is the best solution? [00:19] ubuntu22: oh i have an idea .. may/may not work .. try busybox [00:19] I'd rather not have to go through each connection in nm-connection-editor to configure the nameservers. [00:19] znx, I'm pretty sure something did break. I can't find linux-vdso.so.1 or linux-vdso.so.5 in the lib folder. [00:19] znx, I forced install of 32 bit packages. [00:19] ugh :-) [00:20] ubuntu22: try chroot /media/x /bin/busybox [00:21] but i have to say .. even if you manage to chroot [00:21] you might find you cant run things .. because of the libraries that you are missing [00:22] hi [00:23] znx, busybox worked [00:24] znx, oh wait. When I run sudo chroot /media/x /media/x/bin/busybox it errors === lux_ is now known as Guest1267 [00:24] znx, chroot: cannot run command `/media/x/bin/busybox': No such file or directory [00:25] dr_willis: Hello. My system does not start. Stay in a endless loop: I put my password, back to log screen... Could you see my xorg.log and tell me if something is wrong? http://paste.ubuntu.com/1660305/ [00:26] your system IS starting Physicist [00:26] X is just crashing back to the login screen [00:26] #1 - does the guest user work? #2 - make a new user at the console. See if they work 'sudo adduser billgates' [00:27] #3 - if those users DO work. then its a setting issue with your problem user. login to their accoiunt at the console and make a backup direcory and start moving the various config files into it. this will force your users settings back to defaults [00:28] dr_willis: I disabled the guest account. [00:28] so make a new user then [00:30] theres some guides out at askubuntu.com and omgubuntu and webupd8 on how to 'reset users settings back to defaults' which may be all you really need to do. [00:30] the .Xauthority file is a common problem file [00:30] guys, anyone experiencing this: after login ubuntu freezes and then restarts randomly? [00:31] mike304 could be a dozen reasons why it does it.. X crashing. drivers crashing. window manager crashing.. [00:31] over heating. [00:31] bbl. [00:32] how can i troubleshoot? [00:33] mike304, you make any changes recenly? install anything? [00:33] *t [00:33] Thank you dr. [00:33] to be honest i just installed ubuntu [00:34] was having issue with nvidia first, when the whole screen would go all weridy pixelated [00:34] then was fixed when i used cd to boot [00:35] but now sometimes the whole system freezes and then restarts [00:35] sounds like hardware problem [00:35] did you install the proprietory vid card driver? or install any drivers? [00:35] like cpu or gpu getting too hot [00:35] have you looked through /var/log/syslog to check for hints? [00:36] i did do update on nvidia [00:36] doesn't seem like hardware getting too hot [00:36] windows runs fine on it without any problems [00:37] well this is going to sound stupid but i cant resize my firefox window [00:37] Hi how do I connect to a ubuntu 12.04 desktop remotely from 12.10 and run it in a window so that I can use both? What software do I need? [00:41] osmdave: there is desktop sharing built in. [00:42] i'm wondering if anybody can help me reset to preloaded windows 8 [00:43] brainbaobao: did you install Ubuntu over windows 8? [00:43] hi [00:43] histo, thanks I could only see it in the login screen how do I run it in a window so I can see both? [00:44] i created a partition, and installed it in the 100gig partition [00:44] how can you see las tune2fs was executed? [00:44] last* [00:44] brainbaobao: have you tried accessing the advanced options at boot by tapping SHIFT after the boot splash screen? [00:45] i'm sorry, but i'm pretty new to ubuntu, whats a boot splash screen? [00:45] brainbaobao: has nothing to do with Ubuntu [00:45] brainbaobao: its a screen that shows right before the boot loader trys to boot an operating system [00:46] brainbaobao: can you still boot into Windows 8? [00:46] is it the acer logo screen? [00:46] brainbaobao: if it's an acer computer, than yes [00:46] no, i can't boot to windows 8, it boots directly to ubuntu [00:47] brainbaobao: did you make restore discs? [00:47] wiggmpk: i haven't tried after, but i tried pressing and holding shift during [00:48] brainbaobao: you probably cant access it, im taking a guess but I think grub replaced the master boot record.. so you would need to access the grub menu and select Windows 8 and boot into the OS, then you can refer to this http://www.redmondpie.com/how-to-restore-and-reset-windows-8-to-factory-settings/ [00:48] unfortunately, no [00:48] What mean "filesystem check or mount is failed"? [00:49] how would i enter grub? [00:50] miggwmpk: also my laptop came preloaded with win8 [00:50] brainbaobao: by holding SHIFT when it displays [00:50] brainbaobao: the default option is to have the grub menu hidden.. so there is like a 5-10 second window after your ACER screen to hit shift to access the menu [00:51] brainbaobao: if you installed Ubuntu over your Windows 8 parition, there is nothing you can do but contact the manufacturer and have them send you restore/recovery discs [00:52] hmm. Firstr thing i do on any new windows machines.. spend like 4 hrs making a recovery dvd set.. not sure why it always sems to take forever for windows to make those things... [00:52] dr_willis: cant tell you how many times people bring brand new computers to me (that they screwed up) and didnt have restore disc's [00:55] i didn't install over, i created an empty partition and installed ubuntu in the empty partition [00:55] amazing thing us the pc makers cant just put the 4 iso images on the hd... [00:55] i personally usually use mac, but decided to try windows8 [00:55] brainbaobao: just covering all my bases man [00:55] why its 4 dvdv is anither oddity.. shovelware i guess. [00:56] dr_willis: your absolutely right.. plus the vendor gets to charge the customer if they want the recovery discs [00:57] I always install Ubuntu first, then Windows. [00:57] dr_willis: i have a NFS copy of Windows 8 Pro from my MS rep, 1 single DVD go figure [00:57] What mean "filesystem check or mount is failed"? [00:58] I always install Ubuntu first and then VirtualBox and then Windows inside Vbox [00:58] wiggmpk: i just tried that, but all it does is what it usually does [00:58] with service whatever start.. do all of them usually just call start-stop-daemon ? is there any process monitoring built into the ubuntu service system? [00:58] say it is checking disk for errors [00:58] it is SHIFT to access the GRUB menu? anyone? [00:59] !grub2 [00:59] GRUB2 is the default Ubuntu boot manager since 9.10 (Karmic). Lost GRUB after installing Windows? See https://help.ubuntu.com/community/RestoreGrub - For more information and troubleshooting for GRUB2 please refer to https://help.ubuntu.com/community/Grub2 - See !grub1 for releases before Karmic (9.10) [00:59] huh? [00:59] Ah :) === TheRainbowDawn is now known as Dawn_ [01:00] brainbaobao_: you can refer to this site to make the grub menu unhidden http://www.easy-ubuntu-linux.com/grub-menu-visible.html [01:01] but the thing is that the dvd is in, it's that the computer won'tboot from the dvd [01:02] brainbaobao_: you would have to change the BIOS setting to try and boot from your DVD drive before your hard drive.. [01:02] windows 8 changed it, [01:02] before installing ubuntu, i changed bios to read dvd-rom first === clem_ is now known as Kuuipo [01:03] brainbaobao_: I dont think an operating system can change BIOS options.. its like the government.. seperation of powers by layers [01:03] you have to go to windows 8, press shift and click restart to get into eufi [01:04] EUFI is a different story [01:04] "filesystem check or mount is failed"? I can't mount my windows partition. [01:04] what's EUFI? [01:05] of uefi for that matter, [01:06] <_DomY-Dom> Hi #ubuntu, which convertibles would you recommend for using Ubuntu with ? [01:06] bios is replaced by uefi, and [01:06] bios is dead [01:07] and one can only access uefi from windows [01:07] هاي [01:07] brainbaobao_: BIOS isnt dead [01:08] haha i think i broke the GUID partition table and now i cant boot into linux [01:08] brainbaobao_: but there is not really a practical reason to use UEFI for MOST average users [01:08] هاي [01:08] or at least not accessible from direct boot is what i know and experienced [01:09] <_DomY-Dom> brainbaobao_: even for those which don't run Windows RT but regular Windows 8, I can't partition ? [01:09] dr_willis: Was created a new user and works sucessfuly. Meantime I see that I cannot make changes with sudo because the " new user" is not in sudoers. You sayd about the possibilitie of restore the configuration. How can I do it? [01:10] <_DomY-Dom> brainbaobao_: Also there has to be a way to dualboot, Ubunutu does have a tutorial about how to boot an OS using UEFI surely right ? [01:10] Physicist: login at the console as the problem user and move the config files to a backup dir. [01:11] _DomY-Dom: Windows RT is for ARM systems like a tablet, and yes Ubuntu supports UEFI (99% sure) [01:12] wiggmpk: since ubuntu may support uefi, can one access it? [01:12] dr_willis, Could you give more detail about HOW do that? [01:12] Physicist: bash basics.. mv file backupdir [01:12] brainbaobao_: why exactly would you need to access it? [01:13] brainbaobao_: it's just an application layer to start the booting process of an operating system [01:13] i just need to get to bios [01:13] tgeres detailed guides at the askubuntu.com and omgubuntu and webupd8 blog sites [01:13] which seems impossible [01:13] I wish to temporarely unmount my home partition, by copying all the files into a tmpfs and then mount the tmps as /home. Can this be done and if so, how? [01:13] brainbaobao_: there should be a button.. typically F2 / F12 / or DEL at the BIOS splash screen (your acer logo) to get to the BIOS [01:14] i've tried every one of them, but to check i'll do it again, please excuse me for a moment [01:15] dr_willis: hello [01:16] rmwh be safer to put them on a real hd.. if you lose power while they are moved.. they wll be gone [01:16] rmwh: is home on its own partition now? [01:17] dr_willis, yes [01:17] rmwh: and what are you wanting to do with it? [01:17] dr_willis: resizing it. I tried to do it using parted magic, but it didn't work [01:18] you can just unmount it.. resize it. and then mount it back. just watch out for any apps trying to access home for the time it takes to resize.. personally i resize from a live cd. makes things easier [01:18] exit [01:18] dr_willis: thanks, will try that! [01:18] hi can someone tell me how to connect to a remote ubuntu server graphicly 12.04 from ubuntu 12.10? I can open the terminal with ssh. But the build in remote desktop tutorial needs a gui in the first place and email address and xrdp tutorial is only for windows [01:21] osmdavid: are you looking for X forwarding through ssh? [01:21] i've setup the following script for nginx.. https://gist.github.com/anonymous/6fa4811e7e21b5c77631 notice on line 37 i've specified the --retry option. However when i call it the process doesn't warn me that that nginx is still running [01:21] and it doesn't actually shut it down [01:22] wiggmpk:f2 works sometimes, but i held down some random keys, and it displayed error, and i got into bios, [01:22] wiggmpk: do you suggest that i put windows boot loader at the top? [01:23] osmdavid: depending on wha tyou need to do. ssh and x forwarding can acomplish most tasks. no need for a full desktop to be forwarded [01:23] Jofironses, I want to run it remotely I can do it from windows with xrdp but I want to control it in a window in my ubuntu desktop not windows. Not sure about X. Its Unity. [01:23] osmdavid: X is the foundation of the whole Desktop in linux. [01:23] brainbaobao_: well you cant do that from the BIOS.. if you plan on keeping Ubuntu alongside windows you'll have to decide which bootloader you want to handle booting.. GRUB which is installed by Ubuntu or the Windows boot loader.. but it should be on the MBR [01:24] Unity is a shell on top of gnome3 which runs on top of X [01:24] brainbaobao_: if you can boot into windows.. then you can research how to restore the MBR [01:24] dr,willis ok as long as I dont loose my current desktop. I just want to view one inside the other and control it by remote desktop [01:25] Ubuntu isn't starting up graphically because I wrote an xorg.conf file it doesn't like and then restarted. How do I get to a terminal to fix this? [01:25] I'm not sure if GRUB is damaged, or if it's just because ubuntu changed the boot settings of my computer [01:25] osmdavid: then you want to enable the gnome remote desktop. or use x11vnc if you want to share the CURRENT vidsible desktop. if you can see both monitors.. you can remote controll the other pc from a differnt one via syngery. [01:26] brainbaobao_: are you booting into Ubuntu? [01:26] dr_willis, Could you give me a link? [01:26] !text | tiglionabbit [01:26] tiglionabbit: 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 [01:26] Physicist: a link to what? [01:26] wiggmpk: yes, the system running is ubuntu [01:26] brainbaobao_: then GRUB isnt damaged.. it just doesnt "see" Windows 8 [01:27] dr_willis I only have one monitor im on a laptop. I how do I install the gnome remote desktop for unity from the command line? [01:27] wiggmpk:ok, so since i'm a newbie, what do you suggest me to do [01:27] dr_willis, To resolve my problem dr. Backup the files... [01:27] osmdavid: its allready installed. you just need to enable the remote desktop feature. [01:27] Physicist: i mentioned the askubuntu.com site. and the omgubuntu, and webupd8 blog sites [01:28] dr_willis ok so how do I enable it from the command line and how do I connect to it from this side? [01:28] Physicist: you login at the console as tghe problem user. and move the .config and .Xauthority and perhaps other files to a backup directory [01:28] brainbaobao_: open a termina and try "sudo apt-get install grub-pc" to see if it detects your other OS [01:28] osmdavid: no idea on doing it from trhe command line. normally one logs in and uses the menu/settings to enable it. [01:29] wiggmpk: there is another problem that is very urgent [01:29] wiggmpk: root does not work [01:29] dr_willis yes this is my problem I cant see the desktop until I find a way to connect to the server remotely [01:29] brainbaobao_: how did you determine that? === cameronc is now known as CC [01:30] osmdavid: no monitor? if theres no current desktop running.. then you can just use a normal vnc server that can be started once you ssh in. [01:30] that is why I want to connect to it so I can see it [01:30] wiggmpk: either its that i entered a very similar but different password with a typo during setup, or ... [01:30] osmdavid: theres 2 ways you can do it.. share the CURRENT visuble desktop (which you aparently dont have) or ssh in, run vncserver and have a 'hidden' desktop thats NOT visible on the remote machine [01:30] dr_willis: Nice to see you again. I need help allocating more space to linux. I'm trying to download TF2 but my /dev/loop0 is out of memory [01:30] dr_willis no it is a rented dedicated ubuntu server and I have installed unity but I can only connect from here to the command line with ssh I want to know how to remote view the desktop [01:30] it will only be visible when you vnc into it [01:31] "filesystem check or mount is failed"? I can't mount my windows partition. [01:31] brainbaobao_: if your logging into the user you made when you installed Ubuntu, then its YOUR password [01:31] wiggmpk: it exists, but authentication process says that root is incorrect, [01:31] osmdavid: a vps you mean? [01:31] yes [01:31] wiggmpk: then root is...? [01:31] osmdavid: you could try x11vnc [01:31] osmdavid: if its a virtual machine.. then you ssh in, and run vnc.. but thats not secure over the internet. Best to use SSH and X forwarding [01:32] wiggmpk: in fedora, administrator password=root [01:32] x11vnc on a virtual server dosent make a lot of sence.. since theres no actual display for it [01:32] can someone troubleshoot this [01:32] http://sharetext.org/vKxb [01:32] brainbaobao_: your not technically using "root", sudo is just requesting super user privileges.. its YOUR password for your regular user, because you SHOULD belong to the "sudo" group [01:32] see if there is any problems? [01:32] !root | brainbaobao_ [01:32] brainbaobao_: Do not try to guess the root password, that is impossible. Instead, realise the truth... there is no root password. Then you will see that it is 'sudo' that grants you access and not the root password. Look at https://help.ubuntu.com/community/RootSudo [01:32] Anyone? I need help allocating more space to linux to download a program. [01:33] yes, but as i disabled my password, it still asks for sudo, and as i entered the previous password, it displays it failed [01:33] cc youmay want to give some background details.. since its not clear what your setup is [01:33] purge win8 [01:33] dr_willis ok Can I use X forwarding and keep my current unity desktop at the same time? [01:33] brainbaobao_: how did you disable it [01:33] osmdavid: Yes. [01:33] brainbaobao_: more importantly, why on earth would you disable your password [01:33] osmdavid: what current desktop? the one on the LOCAL box? you said the server had no desktop running [01:34] ben64:usersettings [01:34] dr_willis: I've got Ubuntu 12.10 with 19gb memory allocated to /dev/loop0, all of which I've used [01:34] osmdavid: if you X forward. the apps appear on the local X desktop [01:34] osmdavid: try logging in to your server with 'ssh -L5900:localhost:5900' then connect your vnc to localhost and your connection is secure [01:34] wiggmpk: because nobody else will be in this house but me for the next 4 months [01:34] cc meory allocated to loop? huh? [01:34] how can I make an NTFS junction point from within linux? [01:35] brainbaobao_: its not good practice.. thats some Windows stuff right there.. the most dangerous threat to your computer is physical access [01:35] Sazpaimon: I don't think there is a way [01:35] CC so you are on a live cd? or live usb? or what exactly? [01:35] brainbaobao_: I dont know how to recover a *nix password mate, sorry [01:35] true, that was kind of stupid, [01:35] dr_willis: I've got my install of ubuntu alongside Windows [01:35] dr_willis:http://pastebin.com/CtyisuhY [01:35] brainbaobao_: When disabling a password, you have to have another account with root access to reset it again. [01:36] !password | brainbaobao_ [01:36] brainbaobao_: Forgot your password? See https://help.ubuntu.com/community/LostPassword What's the root password? See !sudo. Don't see *** in password prompts? That's normal. Sudo doesn't ask for your password? It remembers you for several minutes. Please use strong passwords, see https://help.ubuntu.com/community/StrongPasswords === harry is now known as Guest97886 [01:36] brainbaobao_: if it were me.. and this is my opinion.. I would just reinstall Ubuntu.. [01:36] Sazpaimon: you could try ln, but still that would work only on linux and wouldn't be a junction point [01:36] it's not that hard to fix a password [01:36] Jofironses, I already tried regular linux symlinks, it makes interix-style symlinks [01:37] Sazpaimon: yep, it's only linux [01:37] wiggmpk: provided that windows boots correctly, your probably correct [01:37] which works in interix on windows, but they're not junction points [01:37] hmm I think I will go back to windows. I can connect with putty. Run xrdp and then open it in a window and carry on using this machine as well as the other one in a window [01:37] Jofironses, well technically interix is part of windows [01:37] CC you mean you have a WUBI install? [01:37] brainbaobao_: it should automatically detect your other operating system and place that entry in the Grub menu for you to decide which to boot [01:37] dr_willis: Indeed [01:37] I just hoped I could do that ubuntu to ubuntu instead of ubuntu to windows [01:37] CC theres guides out there on resizeing WUBI installs. [01:38] it hasn't done so yet, after 7 attempts [01:38] what about NTFS volume mount points? [01:38] like how they're done with mountvol on windows? === fox_wilson is now known as fwilson [01:38] Sazpaimon: indeed, but windows does not support linux's sym links, at least natively [01:38] brainbaobao_: and installing "grub-pc" was our attempt to do that.. but without sudo access.. I cant really help ya [01:38] yeah it's weird that ntfs-3g makes interix symlinks since I dont think anyone uses interix anymore' [01:39] brainbaobao_: Fix your password first, to gain user access and sudo access. === p is now known as Guest84338 [01:41] brainbaobao_: if you decide to reinstall.. you should have a look at this first though https://help.ubuntu.com/community/UEFI [01:41] bekks: how? i've tried everything inmy limited knowledge and searched google for hours, but as wiggmpk says, i don't have sudo access [01:41] wiggmpk: thank you so much [01:41] Sazpaimon: http://serverfault.com/questions/165389/create-ntfs-symbolic-links-from-within-linux [01:42] you can reset the users passwords from the recovery console i think [01:42] brainbaobao_: your also using Windows 8 with UEFI and could possibly be using Ubuntu without UEFI, and im not sure they would mesh together properly [01:42] cool, but I actually dont want symlinks [01:42] I want an NTFS mount point [01:42] wiggmpk: also i don't recall disabling intel smart response [01:43] does UEFI allow you to run multiple OSs kinda like VMs but on a hardware level? [01:43] like when you mount an actual volume to a directory in windows [01:43] savagecroc: no [01:43] :( [01:44] savagecroc: UEFI is just an application layer between vendor firmware and operating systems.. much like the BIOS [01:44] dr_willis: Will creating a new virtual disk with higher memory capacity remove the data that I have on the one I'm using now? [01:44] brainbaobao_: put this in a terminal and tell me what it says [01:44] right.. so it's main purpose is for what secure boot? or just making life easier for OS developers [01:44] brainbaobao_: /sys/firmware/efi ] && echo "Installed in EFI mode" || echo "Installed in Legacy mode" [01:45] wiggmpk: literally? [01:45] brainbaobao_: yes [01:45] brainbaobao_: will either say Installed in EFI mode or Legacy mode [01:45] Sazpaimon: something like 'mount -t ntfs /dev/sdX /media/windows' ? [01:46] brainbaobao_: sorry, it was cut off [ -d /sys/firmware/efi ] && echo "Installed in EFI mode" || echo "Installed in Legacy mode" [01:46] like that you're mount your ntfs volume on the directory /media/windows [01:46] brainbaobao_: You have to boot a livecd, chroot into your installation, reset your password. [01:46] Jofironses, no, like in windows I would do mountvol C:\mountpoint \\?\Volume\{2eca078d-5cbc-43d3-aff8-7e8511f60d0e}\ [01:46] i want to make a mountpoint like that that would apply in windows [01:47] Sazpaimon: is your nfs server setup? [01:47] wiggmpk: says legacy [01:47] ctmjr, I said NTFS not nfs [01:47] /sys/firmware/efi: Is a directory [01:47] Installed in Legacy mode [01:47] for some reason ntfs-3g sets those directories as /mnt/ntfsvolume//.NTFS-3G/Volume{bc90b059-d55c-11de-9c5e-806e6f6e6963} [01:47] Kuuipo: yeah if you dont have the directoy you probably have /sys/firmware/acpi or something [01:48] brainbaobao_: then I would read that article about UEFI and ubuntu and reinstall... will probably make things a bit easier to co-exist with Windows 8 [01:48] has anyone got macosx working in virtualbox? [01:49] wiggmpk: thanks, but even with the cutoff it still said legacy, [01:49] savagecroc: I have, but its a pain [01:49] thnx wiggmpk [01:49] Sazpaimon: Ok let me understand, what are you running, are you providing some kind of sharing service like nfs? [01:49] I'm nor [01:49] *not [01:49] savagecroc: ive seen guides on the lifehacker site about doing that. [01:49] wiggmpk: oh :( really? pain in what way... just difficult to configure? [01:49] Im migrating a failing drive to new drives [01:49] what distro are you using [01:49] ubuntu 12.04 [01:49] savagecroc: you need special images to get it to boot, then special images to install it [01:49] Basically the old drive had the Users directory mounted to another drive in windows [01:50] I basically want to setup a computer with ubuntu as the primary but also have OSX / Windows 8 as VMs [01:50] I need to re-create that mount point from within linux so it works in windows [01:50] wiggmpk: i see, there is no efi partition in my computer, sorry for the trouble.. and thanks! [01:50] savagecroc: google something called "hackboot" [01:50] I need about 1gb more space on my virtual disk. Any way to do this without wiping data? [01:50] wiggmpk: googling [01:51] I see, if I understood it correctly, you want to mount your ntfs partition in linux so that when you start windows you could transfer your old files [01:51] i might also ask over at vbox [01:51] is that it? [01:51] brainbaobao_: its no trouble.. but read that article and get ubuntu installed with UEFI support.. will probably solve your problems === psmith is now known as p5mith [01:51] wiggmpk: if you get it to work, would you expect it to work? [01:51] CC i recall seeing some guides on resuzeing your wubi install from within windows. Or you could make a second filesystem inside a file and mount it somewhere.. [01:51] i.e. the various iOS functions.. pretty much want to use it for iOS development [01:52] Hi, I'm trying to run GParted, but it hangs on "Scanning all devices" [01:52] sorry OS functions* [01:52] savagecroc: I don't understand your question.... [01:52] Does any one know why? (I'm trying to remove a corrupted Windows partition) [01:52] wiggmpk: do you get a half working OS is what i'm asking [01:52] Quanten: could be a HD is failing and hanging it up [01:52] savagecroc: yes and no [01:52] Quanten: How long have you waited? [01:52] Around five minutes. [01:52] Quanten: you might have to run windows chkdsk before you can work with gparted [01:52] I'm running ubuntu from a live cd [01:52] savagecroc: it works.. updates (even though the copy of Mac OSX i have isnt legal) but there are hiccups.. lockups.. etc [01:53] the windows partition is corrupted i can't boot it. [01:53] if you just want to delete a windows partion. fdisk, or parted can do that [01:53] What is fdisk and parted? [01:53] disk partioning tools [01:53] wiggmpk: it's a pain having to have multiple computers for development.. especially since i do 90% in ubuntu [01:53] fdisk, parted, cfdisk are command line partioning tools [01:53] Gparted is not working. It just hangs while searching for devices ;/ [01:54] Quanten: yes.. you said that... which is why we recommended you try the cli tools [01:54] savagecroc: I only did it as an experiment.. I have no intention on using Mac OSX for any practical purpose.. [01:54] savagecroc: but I believe VMWare fully supports the install of Mac OSX, dont quote me on that though [01:54] wiggmpk: yeah... i'm worried if xcode and all it's dependancies will work [01:54] Oh, they are for the terminal? Sorry, I'm not very experienced with ubuntu [01:55] :) [01:55] If you've only waited 5mins that might not be enough time... it can take a bit depending on the disk size and the number of partitions I think [01:55] command line = terminal [01:55] there's only 1 partition; windows [01:56] Quanten: what versionof windows? [01:56] windows 7 home premium x64 [01:56] last i looked windows7 normally has like 3 partions it uses... on a normal setup [01:56] Oh. [01:56] >.< [01:56] 2 [01:56] dr_willis: One more problem. When I boot my computer and try to choose my OS, it flashes between windows and ubuntu [01:56] i thought it was just one, sorry. [01:56] exit [01:56] its own /boot thing, the actual partion and the companies tend to put a recovery partion on the hd [01:56] quit [01:56] okay, i booted fdisk from the terminal. How do I proceed to remove windows from the cli? [01:57] oh yeah, then 3 [01:57] I see Usage, Options [01:57] wiggmpk: thank you so much, windows has successfully booted, i'll reinstall ubuntu [01:57] with stuff underneath each of the categories [01:57] Quanten: you need to look and see what partions exist.. and what ones you want to delete [01:57] brainbaobao: with UEFI support??? hehe [01:57] Quanten: try man parted [01:57] Quanten: you want to totally delete ALL windows partiions? [01:57] yes [01:57] i have nothing on there i need [01:57] and [01:57] it's very corrupted [01:58] is there a existing linux install on it? is there anything on the hd you are trying to save? [01:58] no [01:58] dr_willis: One more problem. When I boot my computer and try to choose my OS, it flashes between windows and ubuntu [01:58] Then you should be able to tell the installer to delete/use the whole hard disk and it should do so... no need to delete stuff befor hand [01:58] Hello!, I made a small bash script in case my mumble/openvpn/samba processes crashed, could any of you take a quick look at it and tell me if it's any good :P ... for all intents and purposes, it works ( i think ) [01:58] http://paste.ubuntu.com/1660794/ [01:58] CC i dont use wubi.. so no idea on how it works. I advise NOT using wubi.... ever... [01:58] yes, but the intstaller hangs before i get to that step. [01:58] wiggmpk: of course, or at least of course i'll try! [01:59] ok .. im admitting defeat .. ubuntu will not install on my hardware .. BOOO [01:59] i waited for two hours and it just kept showing the loading wheel [01:59] brainbaobao: hehe you'll get it [01:59] i have another old beast i can give it a go on i guess [01:59] wiggmpk: thanks [01:59] it's hanging on the "Preparing to install" step [01:59] np [01:59] Quanten: fdisk has a 'd' for delette option. delete the partions, then 'w' to write changes to disk.. that will delete them all. [01:59] dr_willis: Well to be honest I'm just using linux to open Team Fortress 2 for the promotional item XD I figured wubi would be a good "do it and be done with it" thing [02:00] how do i type it onto the cli? [02:00] i tried fdisk d and fdisk -d [02:00] but none work [02:00] sorry [02:00] Quanten: IN fdisk.. you use 'd' for delete [02:00] l for list.. and so forth,, its menu deiven [02:00] driven [02:00] p for print partion info... [02:01] h for help.... :) [02:01] oh, is fdisk a program? [02:01] yep [02:01] i just typed fdisk into the cli [02:01] err.. yes... [02:01] oops. derp. [02:01] how do i install it? [02:01] and that runs fdisk,. and you then use its text based menus... [02:02] you said it ran.... so its installed.. [02:02] fdisk is already insntalled by default [02:02] i meant like [02:02] it just showed some options [02:02] in the terminal [02:02] Now would be a good time for you to hit up google for a Fdisk tutorial i think... [02:02] when i said fdisk [02:02] Quanten: Please don't flood; use http://paste.ubuntu.com to paste; don't use Enter as punctuation. [02:02] and the options said what? those were the fdisk menu items... [02:02] i am guessing [02:02] try 'fdisk -l /dev/sda' [02:03] it should list your partitions [02:03] sudo fdisk -l /dev/sda may be needed.. 'sudo fdisk /dev/sda' may also be what you need.. [02:03] if you are SURE you want to delete all partions on sda.. it will be somthing like... [02:03] sudo fdisk /dev/sda [02:04] dr_willis: ;) old timer. it's "sudo parted -l" for the gpt-generation :p [02:04] then hit d (enter) to delete the first partion... and repeate the d (enter) a few times to delete the next and next... then w to write changes... [02:04] if hes even on a gpt disk. ;) [02:04] dr_willis: i was just joking! i'm not following the issue! [02:04] when i hit d, it says Partition number(1-4): .. [02:04] and when i type 1 [02:05] it just repeats it [02:05] i tried sda1, /dev/sda1 [02:05] et [02:05] c [02:05] Quanten: Please don't flood; use http://paste.ubuntu.com to paste; don't use Enter as punctuation. [02:05] you just deleted #1 [02:05] ah, thanks. [02:05] so repeate the d for 2 3 4 and so on [02:05] dont expect a lot of feedback. ;) [02:05] uhh [02:05] note the p = for PRINT partitions (i think) [02:06] d 1, d 1 , d 1.... w [02:06] to write changes.. ;) [02:06] then p or l to show what pattiions are on the hd. [02:06] when in doubt read the help item fdisk offers [02:07] i accidentally closed the cli, and now when i run sudo -l /dev/sda === roman is now known as Guest85127 [02:07] it says "building a new sundisk label...etc etc until you decided o write them" [02:07] its sudo fdisk -l /dev/sda [02:07] yeah [02:07] that's what i meant, sorry [02:08] hi. for some reason my wife's laptop battery is coming up dead in ubuntu [02:08] but it shows a full charge when windows is booted [02:08] sudo fdisk /dev/sda to partition the disk... the -l just lists whats there [02:08] so it says "building a new sun disklabel. changes will remain in memory only, until u decide to write them." [02:08] infinitux: seems like a driver problem [02:08] okay, when it ype that [02:08] nothing appears [02:08] is that good? [02:08] (only thing is command (m for help)) [02:08] when you type what? [02:08] sudo fdisk /dev/sda [02:08] Command (m for help): [02:08] is what appears [02:08] Quanten: Please don't flood; use http://paste.ubuntu.com to paste; don't use Enter as punctuation. [02:09] read the help,,, it shows what keys do what.. look at thelist or partions [02:09] Jofironses what kind of driver problem? [02:09] its either L or P [02:09] dr_willis: What is the command to find what is taking up the most space [02:09] You might be mmissing your battery's driver or maybe you've got the wrong driver [02:09] if no partions are shown.. then the disk is blank.. no partitions... see if the installer can work now. [02:09] how do il ook at the list? [02:09] Quanten: again.. hit the m for HELP and read what keys do what... [02:10] press m [02:10] it should show L for list. or P for paretions.. or somthing ..... read.... [02:10] * dr_willis is having to do this from, memory [02:11] Anyone uses bestukvpn here in ubuntu? What to put in Gateway and NT Domain in vpn settings? [02:11] okay so i hit w [02:11] I'm sorry but I can't help much with that, you could look into lsmod and seed if something related to your battery shows up [02:11] and it says "The partition table has been altered!" Calling ioctl() to reread partition table" [02:11] you use d to delete the partions. then w to write the changes.. that exits fdisk.. then you can try the installer again [02:11] z [02:11] and then "Warning: rereading the partitino table failed with error 16: device or resource busy" [02:11] Quanten: so now i would reboot. and retry the installer. [02:11] dr_willis: What is the command to find what is taking up the most space [02:11] okay thanks. [02:12] cameronc: df or du with some options.. [02:12] cameronc: find [02:12] Anyone uses bestukvpn here in ubuntu? What to put in Gateway and NT Domain in vpn settings to connect to bestukvpn? Or maybe suggest a good vpn site which works in ubuntu... [02:13] when i hit l in fdisk, it shows a lot of partitions that i never installed (0 unassigned, 1 boot, 2 sunos root, 3...etc all some sort of linux or sunos thing) [02:13] is this the cd? [02:13] oh wait [02:13] success!

This is really confusing... xorg shouldn't be dependent on a package which can't be installed... [02:43] cameronc: Yes, but it's a terribly bad idea. [02:44] fwilson: It's my only option because I can't use the terminal command due to the lack of memory -.- [02:44] I've been seeming to have a monitor issue, I have an HP Pavilion g6, core i3, 4gb ram with sandy bridge IntelHD, and my issue is that the laptop monitor does not display but the external monitor does [02:44] cameronc: So you can't run terminal commands? Can you pastebin an error? [02:44] any solutions? [02:45] fwilson: http://pastebin.com/1jHfyZTn [02:45] Huddleston, have you checked the Displays setting in the System Settings, to be be sure the laptop screen is enabled? [02:45] DaemonicApathy: yes, multiple times... no dice [02:46] Huddleston: does the laptop screen work when the external monitor is detached? [02:46] cameronc: try sudo dpkg -r firefox [02:47] Anybody viewed the asteroid in Russia? Sensational!!! [02:47] this all started because I installed the Steam client on ubuntu and added the PPA ubuntu-x-swat/x-updates which said I needed to install a few things and those are the things that have locked up, but now I can't do anything with updates/upgrades *shrugs* don't have a clue how that broke it heh [02:47] !offtopic | BlackBeard [02:47] BlackBeard: #ubuntu is the Ubuntu support channel, for all Ubuntu-related support questions. Please use #ubuntu-offtopic for other topics (though our !guidelines apply there too). Thanks! [02:47] cameronc: how did you run out of disk space? [02:47] meteor was cool [02:47] Sensational, but dangerous. [02:47] DaemonicApathy: I had it working for a split second by messing with resolutions but then it stopped again [02:47] wiggmpk: I'm trying to install TF2 which is 12gb and I only allocated 19gb when I loaded linux [02:47] * fwilson complains about dependencies along with BHXSpecter [02:47] Bye there [02:48] fwilson: I'm getting "Dependency problems prevent removal of firefox" [02:48] cameronc: Pastebin please? [02:49] cameronc: you dont have another disk to use? [02:49] Hello, anyone here an expert with ubuntu? [02:49] just frustrating because I tried to upgrade from 12.04 to 12.10 and still get the lib-mesa-dri and libdrm-nouveau2 so it stops all my updates and the upgrade to 12.10 heh [02:49] ubuntunoob: just ask the question.. if someone knows the answer, they will reply [02:49] wiggmpk: I wouldn't know how to add another to use [02:49] fwilson: http://pastebin.com/dPT4TiCi [02:49] BHXSpecter: heh yeah... i hate dependencies sometimes :) [02:49] How to dual boot windows with ubuntu? [02:50] cameronc: well your only allowing 7GB for your OS, poor planning really [02:50] I wonder if I unchecked all links in the update settings if I could update to 12.10 at least? === IcePee is now known as Guest41888 [02:50] Hi, I'm trying to install g++ on a computer that doesn't have internet access. How can I download the .deb along with dependencies to copy/install on that computer? [02:50] DaemonicApathy: it seems that it doesn't want to be the primary... I want it on as a primary so when I disconnect the monitor it'll go onto the laptop monitor [02:51] cameronc: yeah you might not want to do that. [02:51] mrsudoer: sudo apt-get --download [02:51] wiggmpk: My bad. Poor planning indeed. But I need a solution that doesn't involve a disk wipe because TF2 took ages to download [02:51] fwilson: the computer that has internet (this one) is running windows only [02:51] fwilson: I need just a small amount of memory. Is there any command to remove any non-essential files or such [02:51] cameronc: then your going to have to manually remove un-needed or un-used packages.. [02:51] cameronc: sudo rm -r /tmp [02:52] fwilson: Added 2mb [02:52] wiggmpk: I'm not sure how to do that, and which ones are needed and which are un-neded [02:52] needed* [02:53] Huddleston: I'm sure you can configure that manually, but I don't know exactly how, offhand. [02:54] cameronc: sorry mate, there is no simple way to do this.. you have to decide what you dont want on the system.. otherwise my recommendation is create a bigger partition for your system [02:54] How can I get the following permissions on a file? -rwsr-sr-x ?? [02:54] im a bit confused ... how do I make my .pem file? [02:54] OerHeks: ? [02:55] im sorry [02:55] wiggmpk: Isn't there a script somewhere to resize your root.disk? [02:55] fwilson: not that im familiar with [02:55] chmod 6755 ? makes rwsr-sr-x ? [02:56] fwilson: well thanks for trying to help. I'll just give up on it for now as I can't do anything to fix it and Google is not showing anything helpful. [02:56] BHXSpecter: Yeah, sorry about that. Those dependencies are really weird... haven't seen anything like that [02:56] wiggmpk: found it https://help.ubuntu.com/community/ResizeandDuplicateWubiDisk [02:56] ugh… installing virtualbox guest addons furbared the system... [02:56] deadmund: do you mean -rwxr-xr-x? [02:57] fwilson: it copy's, so he would need somewhere to temporarily store it.. my guess is he wont have the disk space to run the script [02:57] DaemonicApathy: bleh, thanks anyways though [02:58] /nick hyl [02:58] wiggmpk: Sounded like he was using Wubi and only allocated 17GB to root.disk cameronc: how much space do you have for windows? [02:58] fwilson: Disk space? [02:58] deadmund: never mind, 6755 does seem to do what you want. [02:58] cameronc: Total hard drive space [02:58] DaemonicApathy: haha, thanks [02:58] sticky bit ;) [02:58] fwilson: 410gb [02:59] fwilson: Well 987gb total, 410gb available [02:59] cameronc: https://help.ubuntu.com/community/ResizeandDuplicateWubiDisk might help you [03:00] fwilson: When I try to download the file for that I get the error "/tmp could not be saved" [03:02] cameronc: but you aren't trying to download to tmp... silly ubuntu... you are saving it to your Downloads right? [03:04] okay so the monitors working but not the backlight, how would one turn that on? [03:05] fwilson: Yup. I even changed it so it should prompt me where i want it to download to and I have the same error [03:08] hi, I have a new sony vaio. it has windows 8, i want fedora/ubuntu on it too. But i failed. They said they dont support linux, anyone knows a workaround, thank you [03:10] fwilson: No matter what file I try to download it gives me that error. [03:10] I have a question to nginx directory locking [03:10] how does "^/url" works? [03:11] is it a wildcard that at every place url appears its forbidden? or does '^' it the root url? === Dark-Ace-Z is now known as DarkAceZ [03:15] Does anyone use Rivendell? Still need some help.

[03:20] hello guys :) I am in the process of installing Ubuntu, I have HDD sda which I want to split: sda1 (100gb old ntfs) - becomes ext4, sda3 (800gb ntfs remains ntfs) and I have more 10GB unused - I thought of making SWAP partition, and EFI partition [03:20] <_mainMethod> You can set the launcher to auto hide. [03:20] but I cant find information which SIZE EFI should be [03:20] Also I have currently 8GB ram here, not sure if SWAP is really needed?

[03:24] Deepfriedice, its the free unpartitioned space I have left to allocate to SWAP and EFI [03:24] Hello [03:24] Hello, I am having problems installing the 64 bit version of U-12.10 on my Dell 1558, the DVD boot but then freeze and the USB flash boot doesn't work. Currently I am using the 32 bit version which seems to work. My Laptop was using Windows 7 64 [03:25] Does anyone use Rivendell? Still need some help. [03:25] Whenever I'm copying something to a USB it always stars out really fast then slows down to a crawl then takes forever to finish. Any idea why? Using Ubuntu 12.04 and copying to fat32 [03:26] evon: on all USB devices? [03:26] evon: It's probably just going to cache. [03:26] znx yes [03:26] Deepfriedice, any way to solve it? [03:26] Not that I know of. [03:26] Is it a problem? [03:27] znx, Deepfriedice it's pissing me off. right now it's stuck at 733.1 of 733,3 [03:27] znx, Deepfriedice hasn't moved in 5 minutes now [03:27] Wait, I take that back, Thats not going to be cache. [03:27] Well I give up. "The installer encountered an unrecoverable error. A desktop session will now be run so that you may investigate the problem or try installing again." How do I see what errors were produced? [03:27] znx: is the recommended estimation for SWAP linear: eg 1:1 on 8GB as it says for 2GB, or can be less as the amount or RAM increases? [03:28] Any help for my install problems ? [03:28] samuel can you elaborate on the "usb flash boot doesnt work"? [03:28] evon: I mean, the cache might be why it appears to go fast, but it sounds like something more serious. [03:29] my lighttpd wont accept my conf :( [03:29] Bauer1: it is really up to you .. how swappy will your machine be etc etc .. i would say that 1:1 for 8Gb is acceptible in my eyes [03:29] Hi Hatz, I made an bootable USB flash drive, but it just doesn't boot directly goes to HD boot. I tried to tweek the boot options or even use other programs to create the bootable USB but doesn;t work [03:30] Deepfriedice, So no solutions? I don't have this problem on windows machines [03:31] evon: I probably can't help, but can you try to find out what speed constitutes "very slow"? [03:31] That might help someone. [03:33] thanks znx :) what should the boot loader device be? sda or sda6 (which is EFI partition) [03:33] instructions here: https://help.ubuntu.com/community/Grub2/Installing says sda, but setting it to sda6 sounds like the right thing.. no? [03:33] when I enter my password at the login screen, the screen dims and goes back to the same login screen, not giving me access to the system. I found that I can make changes to some system files to solve the problem, but as they got bigger and clearer instructions could not solve. Someone could understand and help me? [03:34] Bauer1: i generally put the boot loader in the mbr .. ie sda would be my choice [03:34] Bauer1: I have done that before, and it breaks things! [03:34] someone using lighttpd? [03:34] samuel do you have a) BIOS set to boot from portable media first, b) an 4+ GB USB drive formatted to FAT32 c) the .iso you want to install and d) the pendrive linux tool? [03:34] thoonai: i have used it before .. not a lot but enough to play around with it [03:34] Deepfriedice, do you mean choosing efi parition as boot loader breaks things? [03:34] Bauer1: use sda, the installer will spot the flag on sda6 [03:35] thanks :) [03:35] znx: how did you managed the directory access denials? [03:35] Deepfriedice, It's more the fact that it hangs at the end. It goes from 30mb/s to like 6mb/s then hangs forever at the end [03:35] yes to all questions, the linux tool I used is "startup disk creator", and other 2 [03:35] evon: huh, so it doesn't slow to some consistent speed? [03:36] thoonai: look at the mod_access stuff on lighttpd [03:36] samuel i had some issues last night due to drive size. how big is your USB drive? [03:36] http://redmine.lighttpd.net/projects/1/wiki/Docs_ModAccess [03:36] Deepfriedice, by the time it gets to a low speed, it's practically done but then hangs forever [03:37] thoonai: its not as simple/nice as htaccess stuff but you know .. "light" :-) [03:37] 4GB rated, really 3,37GB but barely 20 MB was used [03:37] okay, so... monitors fixed, Flash installed... But I corrupted Steam so now it can't install from the ubuntu software centre... any tips? [03:37] hmm. so you wouldnt have problems with the tool failing to format a 64G drive to FAT32.

[03:49] thoonai: ok so it doesnt like =^ .. you could just use == as the regex had a ^ prefix match anyway [03:49] i thought that =^ was valid for 1.4x .. but maybe its a v2 thing only? [03:50] my znx whats '^' doing ? [03:50] thoonai: =^ means "match prefix" [03:51] thoonai: oh wait .. i meant use =~ [03:51] ffs .. my brain ;-) [03:51] =~ means do a regex match [03:51] it says load installer components from cd, can i change that to usb somehow? [03:51] so basically it will do the same thing as =^ as long as the ^ is present in the regex [03:52] thoonai: basically .. =~ /^regex/ is the same as =^ /regex/ [03:52] how can I get an IPv4/IPv6 firewall for ubuntu 12.04?

[03:55] thoonai: strangely you have just triggered my fetish .. I NEED THOSE PICS [03:55] datruth: the base install of ubuntu is pretty secure - when you enable the firewall - nothing will be able to get in unless you allow it - so i guess simply enable your fw for starters if security is the concern - you should take note of what allowances you need to make so you don't lock your self out etc etc - (ssh, vnc ports if needed) [03:56] znx: the hell no [03:56] Woop, nevermind.

[04:00] Loki_, common user? [04:00] thoonai: check oiut the various fuse filesystem tools. there might be one for it... theres one for about everything else in existance. ;) [04:01] datruth: you can sandbox users with chroot [04:01] dr_willis: ok [04:01] escott, another user? [04:01] Is there any ubuntu experts out there who might be able to give me a little advice on my first linux/Ubuntu build I am working on ?

I even have it installed :-/ Weird, just before the last reboot apt-cache search libevent shown libevent-1.4 entries only [04:01] SolarisBoy: is there documentation on how to do this? [04:01] huddleston: yesterday people were getting the steam_latest.deb from their web site. and doing a 'sudo gdebi steam_latest.deb' [04:01] datruth: tons [04:01] Loki_, it would be sudo chown username:username /home/username/.Xauthority [04:02] dr_willis: any hint? [04:02] dr_willis: It says command not found... [04:02] * dr_willis still hasent figured out how people get their .Xauthority messed up [04:02] huddleston: so install gdebi then. ;) [04:02] gdebi pulls in any needed depsendencies.. dpkg -i foo.deb often wont. [04:03] dr_willis: how would one do that? [04:03] sudo apt-get install packagename or use the sofgtare center [04:04] actually if you typed 'gdebi' it should give the command to install it.. if its not installed.... [04:04] !info gdebi [04:04] gdebi (source: gdebi): simple tool to install deb files - GNOME GUI. In component universe, is optional.

[04:06] huddleston: anywhere you just have to be in the same directory when you do that command [04:06] or give the full path to the file [04:06] escott, user is not in the sudoers file. -- [04:06] dr_willis: says file not found :c [04:07] huddleston: anywhere you just have to be in the same directory <<<<<<< when you do that command [04:07] so cd to where the file is at. [04:07] For a linux media server is it going to be better to use the actual server (no GUI) over the desktop edition ? It's going to be headless and I'd like to maximize performance. Or does it not really matter? [04:07] dr_willis: I've never used ubuntu before so i'm not a genious here [04:07] or use sudo gdebi /home/billgates/Downloads/whatever/path/it/is/Steam_latest.deb [04:08] use the ls command to LOOK and see what files are where your shell is cd'd to... [04:08] you need to cd TO where that file is saved to.. or use the full path [04:08] or in a terminal type 'sudo gdebi ' then drag/drop the file into the terminal. ;) that may work [04:09] Znx, damn I see the problem... It created efi partition under /dev/sda2 as /dev/sda6 and it already has boot flag [04:09] it should put in the path to the file [04:09] So what I do now? [04:09] dr_willis: sadly it's the wrong architechure [04:10] huddleston: Hmm.. the #ubuntu-steam channel may know what to do to fix that.

[04:12] hey again all [04:12] i'm trying to install ubuntu [04:12] dr_willis: because when I use the ubuntu software cnetre and select install I get: "Package dependencies cannot be resolved" and details: "steam64: Depends: steam (= 1.0.0.27ubuntu1) but it is not going to be installed" [04:13] Znx: moving the boot flag to sda gives me the missing operating system error at boot... [04:13] Loki_, login to the console ctrl-alt-f1 and then get back to the gui ctrl-alt-f7 [04:13] and when i cilck erase everything and install, it hangs and then shortyl after displays this message: "the ext4 file system creation in partition #1 (0,0,0)(sda) failed" [04:13] i've tried restarting the live cd, but nothing has worked [04:13] Quanten: this was the HD that was failing under windows? [04:13] yup [04:13] i have removed the windows part though [04:14] sounds to me like its a dead/dieing hd issue [04:14] which is sadly rather common. [04:14] Bauer1: im sorry but i really dont know efi stuff .. im sort of at a loss with it :-\ [04:14] gah [04:14] it just appeared too [04:15] you could try making partions by hand with gparted. try to make several and you may be able to get some made it can install to.. but i wouldent trust that HD very much [04:15] you could also try gparted to zero/wipe the hd. it might kick it in the head enough to get it going [04:15] escott, only this will be necessary? [04:15] i have no idea how to do that sorry ;/ [04:15] :-( Deepfriedice around? Or anyone with efi experience? [04:15] run gparted.. use its features [04:15] Loki_, this? [04:16] but if the HD is failing/failed - this may be why you had gparted issues to begin with [04:16] Bauer1, ask the question === dniMretsaM is now known as dniMretsaM_away [04:16] escott, ok got it. Thank you! [04:17] Eacot: after install and get error "This is not a bootable disk. Please insert a bootable foppy..." [04:17] Escott [04:18] are you running uefi ? [04:18] Supernoob I believe so because motherboard is uefi [04:19] try turning it off in bios ? I sent myself an email reminder to do that b/c I had heard about people having trouble booting [04:20] afd [04:20] Supernoob, the mobo is Asus m5a97 r2, but I was not able to find any setting for this in the bios or the manual... Which is weird [04:20] I have no idea if this will actually fix your problem or not, just something that popped into my head after reading about how the linux foundation just released some kind of software to make things work with uefi [04:20] http://www.theregister.co.uk/2013/02/11/linux_foundation_uefi_workaround/ [04:21] supernoob, ubuntu grub fully support secure boot. [04:22] well, listen to escott... as you can tell from my name I am very new :) have only used linux on a VM so far... [04:22] hola alguien puede ayudarme? [04:22] Bauer1: did you set the grub flag on sda6? [04:22] Well this is custom made box so no secure boot issues [04:23] Deepfriedice : not initially I left it as you suggested to sda and got the mentioned error [04:24] Bauer1: No, you need to use Gparted to set the grub(I think) flag on sda6 [04:24] Bauer1: THEN you isntall the bootloader to sda [04:25] Deepfriedice : it was actually set to this when I booted back from usb key [04:25] Deepfriedice, Bauer1 grub_bios is for bios boots of gpt partitioned disks [04:25] Deepfriedice, no it doesn't slow to a consistent speed. it just slows to a complete halt [04:26] escott: DUH, sorry. My experience was with grub_bios [04:26] evon: I have no idea. Try usb on a live cd from a different distro? [04:27] Deepfriedice, escott: right now boot flag is back to sda6, and I still get that error. [04:28] Bauer1, it would help to have some kind of recap of what you have done and what you know of your configuration [04:28] asd [04:28] hello [04:29] Escott, a screen shot of my partitions from gparted would help? [04:29] Bauer1, sudo parted -l is easier to read [04:30] I am trying to run Hadoop over Lustre rather than HDFS [04:30] http://paste.ubuntu.com/1661235/ [04:31] Need few clarification on the setup [04:35] I have the GMA 3150 graphics card in my netbook. Is there a simple way to install the driver for 12.10? [04:35] After some search I landed here: https://01.org/linuxgraphics/downloads/2012/2012q4-intel-graphics-stack-release but I don't even know what/how/why I install those packages === ubuntu_ is now known as Bauer2 [04:37] escott, the output is: http://codepad.org/E7uKWucm [04:38] what do you think? [04:38] dr_willis, sorry for the delay, i had to do something. i don't know how to make partitions by hand with gparted [04:39] Quanten: right click... new partotion..... i think [04:39] Bauer1, what version of windows is installed? [04:40] or in the menus.. new partition [04:40] escott, there used to be windows7 in sda1 (the 105GB ext4 now) [04:40] escott, the 885GB partition is media like movies etc, so I left it as ntfs [04:40] Bauer1, then it sounds like you are doing a normal bios boot. i dont know why you are bringing up uefi [04:41] Bauer1, also you should not have an NTFS partition unless you have easy access to windows to repair it [04:41] escott, what makes you think so? sda6 I've set up as efi partition [04:43] Bauer1, no you haven't and its not a gpt disk [04:44] ewww ntfs [04:44] escott, what do you mean a gpt disk? I dont understand why its not efi? I've selected as suggested sda as boot loader, created sda6 as efi using the ubuntu installer [04:44] I'm having an issue with a HP PROLIANT ML370 server using Linux, specifically Ubuntu [04:44] !uefi | Bauer2 [04:44] Bauer2: UEFI is a specification that defines a software interface between an operating system and platform firmware, it is meant as a replacement for the BIOS. For information on how to set up and install Ubuntu and its derivatives on UEFI machines please read https://help.ubuntu.com/community/UEFI [04:44] The server runs fine with Ubuntu 6, 8 and 9 [04:45] perhaps the motherboard (Asus M5A97) doesnt support UEFI boot despite it is a UEFI mobo? [04:45] !details | k1lumin4t1 [04:45] k1lumin4t1: Please give us full details. For example: "I have a problem with ..., I'm running Ubuntu version .... When I try to do ..., I get the following output: ..., but I expected it to do ..." [04:45] but when I do an upgrade to 10 or 12 it fails to load the root filesystem and starts busybox up [04:45] k1lumin4t1: Any errors? [04:45] Bauer1, its pretty clear you don't know the first thing about uefi. why are you messing with efi when your system is and was clearly configured to boot in bios mode [04:46] histo, the server fails to load the root filesystem using Ubuntu 12, specifically after taking the power cord out [04:46] k1lumin4t1: Can you mount the root filesystem? Perhaps it needs checked. [04:47] histo, I actually followed this one to the letter: https://help.ubuntu.com/community/UEFI [04:47] histo, it's a fresh install [04:47] err - https://help.ubuntu.com/community/UEFI#Creating_an_EFI_partition === tjbiddle_ is now known as tjbiddle [04:47] histo, under Ubuntu 6 or 8 works, also doing a fresh install [04:47] Bauer2: But if your firmware is set to auto mode then you are probably booting in some compatibility mode. [04:48] k1lumin4t1: How are you formatting /? === LaserShark|dead is now known as LaserShark [04:48] histo, using LVM, taking boot out [04:48] histo, root + var + usr + tmp + home + swap inside the LVM and boot outside [04:48] histo, it's a ultrascsi array with two scsi disks [04:49] k1lumin4t1: Okay can you mount / or /var or any of the others from busybox? [04:49] histo, hmm it does say this: "ther: must be located at the start of a GPT disk, and must have a "boot" flag. " I am not sure my sda6 is set to /boot/efi, and that it is in start of GPT disk, is my disk GPT at all? escott says that it is not - how can I make it GPT disk? [04:49] histo, I'll try that... but why is it that ubuntu 6 or 8 work fine? [04:49] Bauer2: Repartitioning. [04:49] also another problem is that I dont see any switch in the BIOS to set whether it is UEFI or normal boot device... [04:49] Bauer2, you had a car that was running fine on gasoline, but you heard about cars running on natural gas and despite knowing absolutely nothing about engines you started converting your car engine to run on natural gas [04:49] Bauer2: But again why not just use bios mode. [04:49] can anyone help me to install a GPU driver (GMA 3150)? [04:49] What's the factoid for recovering GRUB after a Windows install? [04:50] !grub | DWSR [04:50] DWSR: GRUB2 is the default Ubuntu boot manager since 9.10 (Karmic). Lost GRUB after installing Windows? See https://help.ubuntu.com/community/RestoreGrub - For more information and troubleshooting for GRUB2 please refer to https://help.ubuntu.com/community/Grub2 - See !grub1 for releases before Karmic (9.10) [04:50] much obliged [04:50] k1lumin4t1: Who know untill you troubleshoot and figure it out. Are you reformatting the drive when you install? === newbie is now known as Guest12510 [04:50] histo, yes, completely fresh installs on both sides (8 or 12) [04:51] lol escott :) very nice analogy.. but I did follow the guide to the letter :) [04:51] k1lumin4t1: And recreating the VG? [04:51] i just upgraded from 12.04 to 12.10 .. and my desktop has loaded (i can see an icon there) but the top and side bar are not present [04:51] histo, hmmm the old-version install wasn't with LVM [04:51] eep [04:51] histo, I used LVM with 12 [04:51] histo, repartitioning manualy? or just using the installer again, this time not making EFI partition at all [04:52] Bauer2, start with www.rodsbooks.com its probably ~50pages [04:52] k1lumin4t1: Okay then most likely an issue with the way you setup LVM. [04:52] Bauer2: IS there a reason you want to use UEFI? === LaserShark is now known as LaserShark|dead [04:52] histo, but why is it that the LVM gets built up fine? [04:53] help .. what can i do to fix :-) [04:53] k1lumin4t1: It's obviously not built fine if you cant mount it. [04:53] histo, no real reason that I can say.. just that they "say" it is faster booting, and that my new motherboard is uefi so I thought it would be best [04:53] k1lumin4t1: Try not using LVM installing 12.04 and see if it will boot with just a regular partition. Then you will know if that's the issue. [04:54] Bauer2, its probably worse [04:54] histo, Ok, I will, but the thing is two of my coworkers already did that [04:54] histo, let me explain it [04:54] histo, they had the server installed with Ubuntu 8 with no LVM [04:55] ok escott so I re-install, and this time without efi partition? hopefully it works this time... [04:55] histo, then they, through a series of upgrades, got it to 12, and voilá [04:55] histo, boot failure [04:56] Someone suggested to me, last night, that I would like Mint. [04:56] Whoever that was was correct. It's awesome! [04:56] especially compared to ubuntu [04:57] Do any of you know if there's a mint channel? [04:57] k1lumin4t1: I would start fresh coming into that situation. Or atleast try to mount whatever parition/LV they created either from busybox or via a live CD/USB to verify that it's created properly === Inoperable is now known as zz_Inoperable [04:57] k1lumin4t1: Then you can start eliminating things as being the issue. [04:57] !mint | GeorgeTirebiter [04:57] GeorgeTirebiter: Linux Mint is not a supported derivative of Ubuntu. Please seek support in #linuxmint-help on irc.spotchat.org [04:58] histo, ok [04:58] GeorgeTirebiter: btw you can install cinnamon in ubuntu [04:58] thanx\ [05:00] ive lost my unity desktop .. what can i do to resolve this? === zz_Inoperable is now known as Inoperable [05:00] znx, you've lost unity? [05:01] znx: Start a search party.... Perhaps you can explain a little more what "lost" means === Swish[\] is now known as Swish [05:02] histo: no top and side bars [05:02] i just upgrade from 12.04 to 12.10 [05:03] and the res is really low 800x600 [05:03] znx: Okay then you didn't lose unity you just need to fix your resolution. [05:03] but where are the bars? [05:03] znx: Off the screen [05:03] um [05:03] So. I have a fresh out of the box SSD into my old PC. I have my USB drive with the ubuntu boot on it. Why does it keep saying installation failed before i even get to a prompt for anything? [05:04] znx: What type of video card do you have [05:04] nvidia of some sort i forget at this moment [05:04] hi, which font is used by gnome-terminal as default one? [05:04] !md5sum | Hatz [05:04] Hatz: To verify your Ubuntu ISO image (or other files for which an MD5 checksum is provided), see http://help.ubuntu.com/community/HowToMD5SUM or http://www.linuxquestions.org/linux/answers/LQ_ISO/Checking_the_md5sum_in_Windows [05:04] <[db]_Gary_Cant> Would anyone happen to know how I would go about installing Ubuntu and running it alongside Windows? [05:04] escott, btw why did you recommend not having ntfs unless I have easy access to windows to repair it? what is my alternative? I dont want to loose the 800gb data on it just to convert format... [05:04] halfie: in ubuntu? it's the ubuntu font [05:05] histo: is ubuntu font a monospace font? [05:05] [db]_Gary_Cant, as long as you install windows first, when you install ubuntu, it will automatically make it so you can dual boot [05:05] halfie: I have no idea [05:06] [db]_Gary_Cant, Ubuntu's installation instructions are really strait forward [05:06] <[db]_Gary_Cant> Ah, alrighty then [05:06] histo: i just opened a terminal ..it has no window borders .. [05:06] xrandr only shows 800x600 [05:06] Bauer2: You are kind of stuck with ntfs then unless you can move the data elsewhere. But 800GB of data with no backup isn't very safe no is it. [05:06] so im pretty sure unity is buggered [05:06] znx: What video card do you have? [05:06] Bauer2, move the data to a partition type that can be repaired [05:07] I do have a laptop with windows 8.. will it allow me to repair it somehow if needed? [05:07] geforce 630i or compatible [05:07] Bauer2: You can fix ntfs with linux but I don't trust it. [05:08] znx, i had a lot of probs with unity and my nvidia cards too. didn't start working till i install 12.04 instead of 12.10 [05:08] histo, is this parititoning good? I would like to have an OK this time before proceeding :) http://imageshack.us/photo/my-images/692/partitionsw.png/ [05:09] evon: oh dont say that i just bloody well upgraded it .. :((( [05:09] histo md5 is good [05:09] sigh [05:09] do i really have to reinstall ubuntu again [05:09] this if f'in maddness [05:10] znx. not saying there isn't a solution. i'm just saying that it pissed me off so much i felt i had to downgrade [05:10] histo: no problem, and what colors are being used in ubuntu's gnome-terminal, any ideas? === fenris is now known as Guest68519 [05:10] evon: i have been attempting to get ubuntu 12.10 for 2 days now .. [05:10] znx. but even then it didn't work properly at first [05:10] its a pain in the ring [05:10] Bauer1, if you yank the disk put it in an external enclosure and attach that to the laptop [05:10] znx. i decided it wasn't worth the pain. I'm waiting for 13 and hoping for the best [05:11] i cant believe how bad the installer was for 12.10 that it didnt tell me anything when it simply hung [05:11] 12.04 installed but only after me manually fiddling the disks [05:11] and now the upgrade works but butchers my system [05:11] escott, I think that should work using external sata :) what do you think of my partitioning this time? good to go ahead? [05:11] cant believe this [05:11] i swear ubuntu doesnt want me to use it === daniel is now known as Guest16214 [05:12] evon: i want 12.10 because it has the latest nvidia drivers .. which will allow me to play steam games [05:12] you could beta test out 13 now and report any issues you are having.. that may get them fixed. [05:12] dr_willis: you mean me? [05:12] If you are waiting for 13, and want to help - yes you. ;) === Dragon_ is now known as Guest68856 [05:13] dr_willis: well no im not waiting for 13 .. and no i dont really want to help [05:13] im about to insgtall 13.04 this weekend when i get time. [05:13] Bauer2: swap looks rather large to me. But it all depends on what you need/want. [05:13] id much prefer to have a working system .. not a pooched system [05:13] znx i pray for the best man. I'm too scared to try it again. took me a while to get this damn thing to work the way i want it to [05:13] sigh [05:13] *burp* [05:13] histo, well I got 8GB ram, will probably increase it more, otherwise any other suggestions before I click Install? [05:14] histo, but there is nothing else useful he can do with that chunk [05:14] the disappointing thing for me is ive been using fedora since v13 and upgraded it all the way to f18 .. and never had anything bumpy at all [05:14] this is my first attempt at ubuntu .. and its really disappointing me [05:14] grumble grumble [05:14] znx: well, sometimes she is playing it hard to get, but is definitely worth it imo :) [05:14] so i guess i will go back and install 12.04 again .. and see if i can do something else to get the nvidia drivers on it instead of 12.10 [05:15] znx, sorry man. Ubuntu is a great OS but this kind of crap happens every so often. [05:15] Bauer2: i have a funny feeling that i will finally install steam .. see that its no good and blank this system going back to fedora with the nasty wine hack for steam [05:16] znx, Linux Mint might be worth a shot lol ;-) [05:16] evon: i guess i just expected the install to you know .. install .. or at least bitch at me about why it wasnt installing [05:16] no i will be going back to fedora [05:16] that is if steam isnt better under ubuntu [05:17] znx. Good luck brother man. I'm gone to bed [05:17] later [05:17] thanks for listening to me moan [05:18] znx, irc is best place to find free psychologists :P [05:19] I am disappointed with my new case here.. Nanoxia - its perfect in every way.. except it does not have HDD LED! [05:19] I missed that at the store [05:19] now I cant tell when the hdd is reading/writing [05:21] I have tried to install several verisions of ubuntu on an old PC but everytime screen starts to roll. any ideas? [05:22] Screen starts to roll? [05:22] sounds cool [05:22] the logo rolls from top to bottom [05:23] like a old tv would if its horzontal sync was bad [05:24] Only thing I can think of regarding video is setting the 'nomodeset' flag on boot, or 'xforcevesa' maybe. [05:24] HAH. FINALLY. My intallation is working. [05:24] im new to linux how would i do that [05:26] On boot, hold the SHIFT key to drop you into the GRUB menu, then hit 'e' to edit the default entry. On the line with 'quiet' add the word 'nomodeset' then press F10 to boot. It isn't a permanent change, and shouldn't mess anything up. [05:26] Bauer2: haha tis horribly true :P [05:26] okay ill try that thank you very much [05:26] Oh... === mjs is now known as Guest6903 [05:27] Is this with the live cd? [05:27] (Instructions would differ if this issue was present when booting the livecd) [05:28] yes i'm booting from a iso cd not really sure if its a live cd [05:28] Ahhh... well then. Forget everything I just said. [05:28] =) [05:28] lol [05:28] forgotten [05:29] The live CD can set the same options, the way to do it is actually easier though. [05:29] At some point in the live-cd boot, the screen will turn purple and there will be a little picture of a keyboard on the bottom of the screen, if you hit any key at that point, it will bring up a language selection menu. [05:30] I select english, but whatever. [05:30] hey guys, i'm getting a "The attempt to mount a file system with type ext4 in SCSI1 (0,0,0), partition #1 (sda) at / failed." error when i try to install ubuntu [05:30] Ubuntu seems to be using "Monospace 10" as the default terminal font. Correct? [05:31] Then there will be a cool boot menu displayed where you can hit F6 to bring up additional boot options. You can just select 'nomodeset' or 'xforcevesa' right there. [05:31] ok [05:31] thanks [05:31] Try it out, you never know. It might work. [05:32] i should of swallowed my pride and came on here and asked a week ago [05:32] hey guys, i'm getting a "The attempt to mount a file system with type ext4 in SCSI1 (0,0,0), partition #1 (sda) at / failed." error when i try to install ubuntu [05:32] halfie: It uses the ubuntu font [05:33] halfie: notice the n's [05:34] anyone? [05:35] Quanten, is this error showing up when you attempt to boot the live cd? [05:35] nope. it's showing up when i click delete everything and install [05:36] Hmmm... [05:38] halfie: damn, different error each time! After installing with the partitions as you saw, I got the unhelpful error "Operating system load error", If I disable dvd as first boot device, I get "Multiple active partitions" [05:38] What a pretty font... I love Ubuntu Monospace. [05:38] no one knows? ;/ [05:38] DS9 [05:39] I doughnut suppose anyone hanging out in ubuntu has a 3d printer they use from it? And could give some tips on getting repetier to fscking work. [05:39] Quanten, I would say try to mount the FS without using the installer and see if that works (from the live cd). [05:39] logavanc thanks that seems to have fixed it [05:39] logavanc, idk how to do that ;/ [05:39] i'm a newb, i don't even know what FS is [05:39] Quanten look at dmesg for errors [05:39] Quanten: File system [05:39] wat [05:39] how would i moutn the file system? [05:39] Boot live CD. [05:39] Bauer1 d/l bootrepair live cd and use [05:39] Select 'Try it" [05:40] yes, that works [05:40] Open nautilus. [05:40] ok [05:40] Find drive on the left and click it. [05:40] k [05:41] I am assuming that it has a file system of course. [05:41] CavalierPrime can I burn it using the ubuntu live cd? [05:41] what do you mean? [05:42] if the installer failed to format the drive. then it wont be accessable. [05:42] guh ;_; that sounds bad [05:42] i mean it worked before [05:42] but then another error happened [05:43] is there any possible way to fix the error in the ext4 file system [05:43] you said the hd was having issues earlier. hds can die with little warning [05:43] in partition 1 [05:43] i know. but is there any other possible solutions? [05:43] *are there [05:43] try partitioning and formating it by hand === anonymous is now known as Guest59330 [05:43] hello [05:43] Fire up GParted. [05:43] logavanc [05:44] alright [05:44] (Disclaimer: You can f*ck stuff up with GParted.) [05:44] if its dead... it may be very dead. or just sort of dead. ;-) [05:44] it's fine there is nothing on this computer [05:44] God I hate mostly dead hard drives. === tjbiddle_ is now known as tjbiddle [05:44] are you sure there is nothing [05:44] yup [05:44] Guest59330, yes? [05:44] i deleted everything [05:44] nothing on the pc.. you can play with gparted and parted and fdisk all you want. ;-) [05:45] cool [05:45] i have a good mission for us to do [05:45] i'm willing to try anything to install ubuntu [05:45] CavalierPrime: is boot repair not included in the ubuntu live cd somewhere already? [05:45] okay so on /dev/sda1 i have a 462 gig unknown fs [05:46] on /dev/sda2 [05:46] i have a 3.85 g extended fs [05:46] and within /dev/sda2 i have a /dev/sda5/ linux swap also 3.85 gigs [05:46] and then finally 1 MiB of unallocated fs === fabiane is now known as fabinhaaa [05:46] if that helps [05:46] So, pretty typical drive setup when installing Ubuntu. [05:47] so any want to help attack a place === ubuntu is now known as Guest26607 [05:47] Select the big one (sda1), right click and tell it to format to ext4 [05:47] lol [05:47] Then click apply (realize that this will wipe everything on the partition) [05:47] how to retrive the passward [05:48] when i click apply an error occured [05:48] it fails when 'create new ext4 file system" [05:48] Yeah, figured. That is not a good sign dude... =) [05:49] :( [05:49] i mean, it was just working before [05:49] idk why [05:49] it stopped now [05:49] any other possible work arounds [05:49] ? [05:49] Quanten: Please don't flood; use http://paste.ubuntu.com to paste; don't use Enter as punctuation. [05:49] Hate to say get a new HDD, but... [05:50] you could try to zero the hd with the dd command.. but i bet its a dead hd. [05:50] Guest26607: retrieve password for what? [05:50] i'm willing to try that [05:50] how would i do that? [05:50] how big is the hd? [05:50] Quanten: dd if=/dev/zero of=/dev/you/want/to/blank bs=1M [05:50] dd if=/dev/null of=/dev/sda bs=4M [05:50] around 500g [05:51] Then get some sleep... =) [05:51] logavanc: /dev/null won't zero [05:51] Crap, histo you are right. [05:51] I meant /dev/zero... couldn't you tell? =) [05:51] so what do i do? [05:51] Open a terminal. [05:51] if dd fails.... its dead jim... [05:52] So is there some reason Steam needs to be reading files in my .ecryptfs folder? [05:52] okay, terminal opened ;P [05:52] type the following: dd if=/dev/zero of=/dev/you/want/to/blank bs=4M [05:52] Crap... [05:52] wait [05:52] wat [05:52] type the following: sudo dd if=/dev/zero of=/dev/you/want/to/blank bs=4M [05:52] you want to blank? [05:52] Crap... [05:52] o.o [05:52] Shit [05:52] logavanc [05:52] you said you wanted to... [05:52] type the following: sudo dd if=/dev/zero of=/dev/sda bs=4M [05:52] ^that one! [05:52] can you mentor me [05:52] =) [05:53] okay i added sudo to it [05:53] Guest59330, I am not attacking anyone. [05:53] and now it's blinking [05:53] i mean [05:53] i changed it [05:53] and yeah, it's just a blinking cursor [05:53] it will take some time to zero the disk... [05:53] what does zeroing the disk mean? [05:54] writing 00000000000000 to the disk [05:54] You are literally writing 0 to every bit on the drive right now. [05:54] what will that do? [05:54] totally erase it [05:54] Quanten: wipe everything. [05:55] And maybe show if any errors occur. [05:55] when its done reboot and try the installer again [05:55] If it pukes during the DD, then the drive has... issues. [05:56] Cell, Shit what? [05:56] it will give some error when its done about end if device.. and show how much it wrote.. which should be clise to 500gb [05:57] can some one tell me how to break in to a nather computer [05:57] Yes. [05:57] Use a screwdriver. [05:57] Take off the side door. [05:57] lol [05:57] There, you are in another computer.

[06:00] home basic enhanced premium light exasperated edition [06:00] with all new app store to buy all your apps [06:00] what would the best way be to install ubuntu for someone who hasn't played with linux in 10ish years, has a partition for the install, and is using windows 8 [06:00] But no Start(C) button. [06:00] Ackis: put cd in drive and install [06:01] Ackis: or install off of usb [06:01] Ackis: Just install via LiveCD. [06:01] so far so good no error T_T [06:01] backup the system first. [06:01] if it doesn't return an error and finishes, what should i do? [06:01] Ackis: You will be plesently suprised if it's been 10 years. Many changes [06:01] Quanten, try the install again. [06:01] when its done reboot and try the installer again [06:01] Ackis: just dont use unity. [06:01] histo: I loved it before, it just wasn't practical for my uses [06:01] Ackis, and Ubuntu will hold you hand through the whole process. [06:01] logical.... [06:01] Ackis: that's another option is the install cd is actually a livecd you can boot to and check things out see if you like it etc.. [06:01] if u see that u may think that 10yrs was -20yrs [06:01] how long does it generally take? [06:02] Ackis: I bet it's practical now. Download and check it out. [06:02] Quanten, for 500 G... a while. [06:02] Quanten: It returns output wrote X bytest etc... blah blah [06:02] Quanten: It won't take that long if you did bs=1m [06:02] 1m [06:03] stupid caps lock 1M [06:03] jesus [06:03] the fact it hasent failed yet... is a good sign [06:03] i did bs=4m [06:03] 4M [06:03] Wanna see something cool Quanten? [06:03] say you get 80MB/s so do the math [06:03] sure :o [06:03] hello i m developer for windows and mac. I m making cross platform tool.I can get foreground window on the system on win32 by utilizing GetForegroundWindow , how can i get same ? i want foreground window title name? possible ? [06:04] Quanten: you can check it's speed with something like nmon or iotop [06:04] ɔool [06:04] Open another terminal, type the following 'ps aux | grep dd' and look for your command. [06:05] okay [06:05] is it supposed to signify something? [06:05] :O [06:05] The line with your command will have a number shown in the second column (from the left, the first is the user name that ran the command, then the next is the PID). [06:05] Quanten: or ps aux as logavanc suggested will show that it's running using cpu ram etc... [06:05] Quanten: top or htop is another way to monitor running PIDS === doodler is now known as kyle____ === xiambax_ is now known as xiambax [06:06] the number is 14127 [06:06] Once you have that number, run the following command 'sude kill -USR1 0000' where 0000 is whatever number you got before. [06:06] So... 'sudo kill -USR1 14127' [06:06] Quanten: That's only if you want to stop it [06:06] ... [06:06] o.o [06:06] logavanc: Why are you having him kill the PID [06:06] That will not stop it. [06:06] -USR1 [06:07] Check the DD man page. [06:07] uh [06:07] It tells the DD command to dump statistics to the screen. [06:07] i went to the original terminal [06:07] and yeah [06:07] oh yeah [06:07] lol [06:07] there are statistics [06:07] didn't see the usr [06:07] Quanten: Please don't flood; use http://paste.ubuntu.com to paste; don't use Enter as punctuation. === boze_afk is now known as boze [06:08] 806.946 s, 77.5 MB/ [06:08] s [06:08] If I remember correctly, one of the stats given should be the rate... [06:08] Yeah, so there you go, ~77 MB/s. 500GB / 77 MB = #of seconds (roughly) [06:09] hello, I got a question. Every time I boot to ubuntu from the installation, the screen goes blank around 10 minutes after the DVD is booted up. Im guessing that its because I have an ATI card. Is there anyway I can fix this so I can install ubuntu? [06:09] Quanten: 119 minutes at that rate [06:09] Quanten: but it will speed up as it gets to the outside of the disk. [06:09] and slow down near the inside actaully. [06:10] roughly 2hrs. [06:10] ty [06:10] histo, that is why they like to put the swap out at the end, right? Not sure if that is a wives tale though. [06:11] logavanc: Well on a mechanical disk it's spinning faster on the outside that's why [06:11] dickieb, Try setting 'nomodeset' when booting the Ubuntu LiveCD. [06:11] thank you! [06:12] You know... I think I wanna run an experiment on the read/write times of a spinning disk based on disk location. [06:12] Mythbusters style. [06:12] it is possbile to install a Windows XP VM on Ubuntu Server and RDP into that Windows machine? [06:12] ofc [06:13] logavanc: It's not hard to understand that the outside of the wheel will pass a fixed point at a higher speed than the inside of the wheel. [06:13] thanks you guys [06:13] hope it works [06:13] swap partitions dont have to be on the end [06:13] so far so good, no errors [06:13] Oh I agree histo, I am just not sure what kind of difference that would make. Seems an insignificant sort of difference. [06:13] logavanc: the actually differences in speed I believe would be minimal. [06:14] of course if you are actually using swap.. thatss going to be such a major reduction to speed that any differances btween the start and end of the disk will be barely noticeable [06:14] Its all sorta moot for me anyway, I use SSDs. [06:14] if you want better swap speeds.. spread swap out amoung several hard drives [06:14] thats old skool tricks. ;) [06:14] hi, how to install crunch on ubuntu 11.04 ? ..because i tried "sudo apt-get install crunch" ...it says "Unable to locate package crunch" [06:14] logavanc: The bigger issue is moving the heads. These disks spin so fast no adays. I just use SSD's when possible also and don't worry about it. [06:15] Wow... that is actually a really good idea dr_willis . [06:15] !info crunch [06:15] Package crunch does not exist in quantal === Inoperable is now known as zz_Inoperable [06:15] ubottu: how to solve this issue? [06:15] sasori: I am only a bot, please don't think I'm intelligent :) [06:15] sasori: Aparently there is no package crunch or it has a different name. [06:15] I have 4 drives in my machine, with a different version of Linux on each, but I don't mount the other's swap space. [06:15] any idea how to solve this? [06:15] logavanc: RAID is multiple dirves [06:16] . /var/log/dist-upgrade does exists but apt-get dist-upgrade doesn't write any info their and i'm trying to debug some dist-upgrade issue.. any ideas? thanks [06:16] *doesn't* [06:16] sasori: See if the persont hat wrote the crunch package has source code availible. [06:16] I must be an idiot because i can't see the notification or the Administration -> additional drivers this guide talks about https://help.ubuntu.com/community/BinaryDriverHowto/Nvidia [06:16] i got no idea what 'crunch' is... ;) [06:16] histo: and then? [06:16] Hatz: in 12.10 the addational drivers tool is in a tab under the 'software sources' tool [06:17] ah [06:17] So I have a mid-2011 mac air 13" with ubuntu 12.10 on it that I JUST installed.... and after running updates and restarting/powering off/powering pack on, the wireless will not detect any networks. I should also note that it was running Kubuntu perfectly before that. [06:17] sasori: build the source and install it with checkinstall [06:17] !checkinstall | sasori [06:17] sasori: checkinstall is a wrapper to "make install", useful for installing programs you compiled. It will create a .deb package, which will be listed in the APT database and can be uninstalled like other packages. See https://help.ubuntu.com/community/CheckInstall - Read the warnings at the top and bottom of that web page, and DO NOT interrupt CheckInstall while it's running! [06:18] ! [06:18] That is awesome!

I haven't [06:18] may tux be with you [06:18] checkinstall is considered a bit of a hack/dirty work around [06:19] dr_willis: for building debs it's a hack [06:19] histo, Broadcom BCM43224 [06:19] sasori: You could also look for a PPA someone may have already done all the hard work for you.

[06:40] Fire away ricomoss_ [06:40] ricomoss_: Doesn't system 76 provide support for their hardware under their terms? === ericab_away is now known as ericab [06:41] I have a VGA and HDMI monitors that I'm trying to connect for dual monitor sans the laptop screen. When I connect the HDMI monitor the system "recognizes it" but when I configure it the monitor displays "No HDMI Input Found". [06:42] I've tried contacting s76 support but I have yet to hear back from them. I thought I might be able to find a solution sooner. === fallout is now known as _fallout [06:44] So in Ubuntu, you set up the desktop to be mirrored or extended onto the HDMI screen? [06:45] ricomoss_: is it a nvidia card? [06:45] ive seen laptops that have to have the external monitors plugged in - when powered up. or else the port is disabled.. also seen where you have to hit some special fn-whatever keys to actually turn on the extra port [06:45] No, it is Intel HD Graphics 4000 [06:46] dr_willis: this mac air is a good example of that. the thunderbolt port wont see anything unless it is there at power on. [06:46] for an intel laptop once.. i had to use the fn keys.. till it turned on.. then for some reason it always saw it after a reboot after that one time.. === ericab is now known as ericab_away [06:46] I've tried booting with both monitors plugged in...in this none of the monitors work and I am unable to see anything. [06:46] ive had a nvidia laptop once.. i had to have the nvidia drivers installed or else the external port wouldent work at all.. [06:47] had a weird laptop once - it Defaulted to the external monitor port... even with nothing plugged into it.. :) had to hit the FN--? key at each bootup like twice to toggle the lcd to turn on.. [06:48] just luck i discovered that.. it was playing sound.. no display... smacked some keys.. it worked.. ;) [06:48] if this mac air is anything though, it is fast. boots from power off to login screen in about 7 seconds.

[06:49] ricomoss_: yea.. you may want to actually power off.. plug them in. and power on. not just a reboot [06:49] usually there on lappys there is a little box with lines on both sides of it.. on f4 or around there.. which toggles the displays [06:50] if you have that button ricomoss_ i would try that [06:50] dance in a circle around the room 3 times chanting hiku verses also...

[06:51] gregory58: 64 if it is supported [06:51] gregory58: i imatine it depends on your needs. [06:51] helps to have the drivers installed though... and a utility to control the monitors.. for some strange reason.. my hdmi keeps default to a different res then the one i set when using it.. even when i hard set it in the xorg.conf [06:51] Ben64: Cool, 64 it is.. [06:51] so i have to use amd control manager to change it to 1080p when i want to use it [06:52] does anyone know about apparmor? [06:52] I know more about SELinux, but... [06:52] seems like these virtual servers are getting like.. really cheap. ;) saw one the other day for $5 a month. tempted to get one just for a znc server/toy [06:52] If you get one, can I have root on it?

[06:59] dr_willis: 30 day trial [06:59] sry [06:59] it is on topic, trollop [06:59] are we going to neeed a #ubunt-vps or #ubuntu-cloud eventually? [06:59] dr_willis: Probably [06:59] Cell, no its not. #ubuntu-offtopic for chit chat NOT here [06:59] although #ubuntu-server isn't being used like it should. [06:59] For someone who spends his all time trolling #defocus you sure are touchy, bazhang [07:00] I really need to read up on this stuff someday. - I just dont know what all you can do on them to even justify $5 a mo. but i bet i could do with a ubuntu cloud server what i am doing with my raspberry pi. [07:00] any ubuntu gurus out there who might let me pick their brain about server vs desktop advantages ? [07:00] how do I clear apparmor entries [07:00] in the log files [07:00] braaaains, ask the channel [07:00] braaaains: install a service on a desktop install.. you got a server. ;) [07:01] theres not a server kernel any more is there? there used to be i rember. getting where the diferances tween a desktop and server are blury these days [07:01] braaaains, Install ubuntu-desktop on a server install and you have ubuntu desktop. [07:01] so the desktop GUI doesn't detract too much from the processing power of the server then ? [07:02] braaaains, of course it does [07:02] My little Raspberry Pi works as an ok home server. ;) [07:02] braaaains, I didn't say that. [07:02] so it depends on what you are actually serveing.. [07:02] braaaains: That's the difference GUI no GUI [07:02] braaaains: You don't need the GUI [07:03] (An option, I might point out, that I am pretty sure that MS Windows does not give you.) [07:03] No luck on the HDMI monitor - I even tried another monitor. [07:03] thats what I was thinking.... that the GUI would just slow it down since it will be headless anyways, I plan to do all my admin through SSH and webmin [07:03] Having a GUI on a server is like riding a bicycle with training wheels. [07:03] Some things you just outgrow... [07:03] Which is perfect for Windows server admins... =) [07:04] thanks for the info guys, i'll stick with the server installation then... [07:04] !webmin | braaaains [07:04] braaaains: webmin is no longer supported in Debian and Ubuntu. It is not compatible with the way that Ubuntu packages handle configuration files, and is likely to cause unexpected issues with your system. [07:04] !ebox > braaaains [07:04] braaaains, please see my private message [07:04] anyone know how to delete apparmor events from the log files [07:05] Any other suggestions for getting the dual monitor setup to work on the s76 laptop? [07:05] Cell: why would you need to do that? [07:05] Isn't there an apparmor gui front end that you can install for doing that? I know there is for SELinux. [07:05] ricomoss, using xrandr? [07:05] because I was doing some profiling and now its giving me errors [07:05] bazhang: Oh, thanks for the info. I had been using it fine in a VM but there was not extensive testing [07:05] so I think the log file might be screwed up [07:05] bazhang, I'm not sure what xrandr is. How can I find out?

Information/HowTo here: http://wiki.debian.org/XStrikeForce/HowToRandR12 [07:06] braaaains, You might check out Zentyal too. [07:06] Cell: looks more like a warning, not an error [07:06] well its an error because its stops the profile editor from working [07:07] are you sure it wasn't already finished anyway? [07:08] yes [07:08] it was just hanging at the command line === Kitar|st_ is now known as Kitar|st [07:08] oh, the HDD LED wasn't lit anymore? [07:09] well I didnt check but it was hanging [07:09] the program is supposed to ask me to approve behaviors and then save a profile [07:09] bazhang, ubottu, I am reading about xrandr and I can't see what to do to get HDMI to work. [07:09] well sometimes programs are still running but don't always display output in a terminal until they get to a certain point [07:10] ok well still I would like to delete those entries [07:10] can I just delete syslog? [07:10] you could [07:10] I dont think I have much use for it [07:10] Good night all. [07:10] Hello? [07:10] its 300 mb, that's a ridiculous waste of space [07:10] just remember that there is a process that's currently writing to it [07:10] only 300? [07:10] This is the chat for Ubuntu help yes? [07:10] only? [07:10] heh [07:10] Chojek, for support yes. [07:11] bazhang: I'm looking through that link (and doc.zentyal.org) and I'm having trouble figuring out if Zentyal will help me to setup softraid with MDADM like Webmin did, you wouldn't happen to know off the top of your head would you ? That was pretty much the whole reason for installing webmin to be honest, manually dealing with MDADM was making my head spin. [07:11] Chojek: /topic [07:11] ./topic doesn't work.. [07:11] Chojek: remove the . [07:11] Cell: well, it sounds like you have a lot of verbosity turned on from various apps, so yes, 'only'. [07:11] Chojek, what is your ubuntu support issue. please ask the channel [07:12] braaaains, not looked into that deeply, my apologies [07:12] i don't have it installed, i was just curious [07:12] ive been thinking of installing it [07:12] is there a way to limit the size?

[07:13] i have a usb, can I use it to install Ubuntu on it? [07:13] And can I switch between Windows and Ubuntu? [07:13] Chojek, yes [07:13] Is there an apparmor specific channel? [07:13] !alis | cell have a look [07:13] cell have a look: alis is a services bot that can help you find channels. Read "/msg alis help list" for help and ask any questions about it in #freenode. Example usage: /msg alis list #ubuntu* or /msg alis list *http* [07:14] If I plug in my HDMI monitor and "enable" it in the Display settings and then run xrandr it seems to say it's connected and shows all the settings available. What should I do after this? [07:14] Cell: yes, you could tell your processes to not be so noisy. also, syslog files tend to get archived on a daily basis, so it will shrink considerably. [07:14] Sweet, so do I just go on http://www.ubuntu.com and download the file and put it on my usb? [07:14] and just go from there? [07:14] Chojek, essentially, yes. not quite drag and drop though. there are instructions on the site [07:15] Cell: no idea, the only thing I can see from here is the website [07:15] I have a custom udev rule for my phone, but it looks like Ubuntu is overriding my rule and trying(unsuccessfully) to mount automount it. Does anyone know how Ubuntu is deciding to try to automount a device? [07:15] !apparmor [07:15] For information about the AppArmor security framework employed in Ubuntu (since Gutsy Gibbon), see https://help.ubuntu.com/community/AppArmor [07:15] is Ubuntu faster than Windows?

[07:16] i'd assume so [07:16] lol [07:16] lets move on please [07:16] i found a windows installer for ubuntu [07:16] thats wubi Chojek [07:16] !wubi > Chojek [07:16] Chojek, please see my private message [07:16] Yep, wubi. [07:17] I was able to get my HDMI monitor working if I disable the VGA monitor. So it's as if the laptop screen has to be 1 of the 2 monitors. Any ideas around this? [07:17] Sweet. [07:17] Thanks for the helpful information guys. [07:18] ricomoss: no its more like, you have crapy drivers [07:18] wubi can be problematic [07:18] I have no real reason to use Ubuntu, just out of curiosity I guess. [07:18] Does anybody have a solution to creating a softraid that doesn't use webmin ? Besides manually through the console with MDADM because I could not figure that out for the life of me. :( This has kind of thrown a wrench in my plans. [07:18] To fix "crappy drivers" I should...? [07:19] ricomoss: perhaps the xswat ppa may hav updated ones [07:20] !xswat [07:22] anyone know the context in which the preseed file runs late_command? [07:22] it works perfectly fine at the ash shell [07:22] ricomoss: I don't know really, but on my hackintosh, I had to change framebuffer settings so i could connect 1xHDMI and 1xVGA monitor, so I assume it's problem with drivers, but don't take that for granted. [07:22] but the install complains it dies with exit 2 === tjbiddle_ is now known as tjbiddle [07:26] bazhang does webmin not work with any versions of ubuntu ? I was going to install it on the 12.04 server and there seems to be many installation/usage guides online for it... is it just 12.10 that is not compatible?

I have no idea what I did, but they are functioning like a dream! So happy, now I can actually do some development. [07:29] bazhang thank you, do you think it would be advisable for me to install ubuntu desktop then ? it seems like it might be possible to disable the GUI after I've gotten everything setup and running how I want it to ? Because I may need to use something like gparted to create my raid array... === fego is now known as codemaniac [07:31] sasori, you wish to go back to windows only? [07:31] when i left click on a window title bar and try to drag window...the mouse pointer comes detached from title bar and floats around screen, is there some setting i can use to change this? [07:32] anyone installed the ubuntu for phone on their nexus galaxy? [07:32] bazhang: yep...and replace the current dual boot linux distro that i have [07:33] into another linux distro [07:33] sasori, remove the offending partition then update grub [07:33] !grub2 | sasori [07:33] sasori: GRUB2 is the default Ubuntu boot manager since 9.10 (Karmic).

Every time i suspend my laptop and bring it back up..my Mic does not work..untell i open my pulse audio volumn control and toggle the mic from "internal Microphone" and back to "microphone"" [07:34] then it works fine.. [07:34] how do i mount a ntfs drive from the command line for a short period [07:34] i want to read/write [07:34] first make adjustment to ftab [07:34] fstab that is [07:34] then mount /mnt/mymount [07:35] do that as root. now the nfs mount must have permissions for you to read and write. [07:35] that you will have to set on the server that has the nfs server running on it [07:35] what do you mean the nfs mount must have permissions for me to read/write [07:36] grendal-prime, he was talking about ntfs not nfs [07:36] yep [07:36] azizLIGHTS: fstab is for mounting on boot [07:36] oo sorry man [07:36] azizLIGHTS: or automatically mounting it later on. [07:36] i just wanna mount it for now, not set it in fstab for boot [07:36] ciao [07:36] azizLIGHTS: if you want to mount it temporarily just make a directory to mount to. [07:36] !addon [07:36] histo, ..not totally [07:36] azizLIGHTS: then mount /dev/path/to/ntfs/partition /directory/created. [07:37] on the mounting only at boot [07:37] grendal-prime: I know [07:37] it also makes it easyer to just mount it from command line [07:37] histo: thats it? theres no switches? [07:37] grendal-prime: could give a regular user permision to mount it. [07:37] “!addon” [07:37] azizLIGHTS: You shouldn't need any for ntfs by default anymore. [07:37] ya..i think you can just mount it.. [07:37] histo: ok, im on ubuntu 8.10 . should have mentioned this earlier [07:37] azizLIGHTS: you can add -o rw if you doesn't give you rw for some odd reason. [07:38] my ntfs-3g is 1:1.2506-1ubuntu2 [07:38] histo is right on that [07:38] #excalibur [07:38] kinetz, stop that [07:38] azizLIGHTS: yeah you should be able to mount it with ntfs-3g installed. However your version of ubuntu is old and passed End of Life [07:38] azizLIGHTS: Any reason you haven't upgraded? [07:38] im gonna upgrade once i move my files [07:39] i just pulled it out ofmy storage unit [07:39] azizLIGHTS: Well after you move your files you may want to just reinstall would be faster than upgrading. [07:39] “!lista” [07:39] !botabuse | kinetz [07:39] !lista [07:39] kinetz: Please investigate with me only with "/msg ubottu Bot" or in #ubuntu-bots.

[07:47] the funny thing is, the "test sound" button still produces sound even when output is selected to a sound that doesnt have a physical sound out [07:48] pishkur: wine has so problems with win apps [07:48] histo no idea, since this is the only app Im running through wine [07:48] pishkur: maybe see if anyone in wine support has heard of it. I haven't here. [07:49] do they have a chan here?

[08:00] hi [08:02] azizLIGHTS: rsync -avz /sourc /desination [08:02] azizLIGHTS: you won't be able to save attributes though I believe [08:02] azizLIGHTS: or permisions due to the way ntfs works. [08:03] samr: use the networkmanager to set a static ip - if thats what you mean [08:03] samr: ? [08:03] samr, change it for What purpose, please be very clear [08:03] --archive is -a, --verbose is v, and -z is compress? why compress [08:04] does it make a tar? [08:04] oh by the way is there a way to change 12.10 them back to have normal non hidey go peek scroll bars and normal vizible window resize handls [08:04] histo: and why not --partial or --progress [08:04] grendal-prime, using gnome-shell , sure. or gnome-panel [08:05] you can disable the special scroll bar thing - yes... [08:05] i belive the webupd8 or omgubuntu blog sites had some guides on the vvarious tweaks like that [08:06] azizLIGHTS: You can if you want. Thye are just options. If you have rather large files use --partial. I wouldn't do -z though that was a typo from me. You don't need compression since it's local. [08:06] gotcha [08:07] azizLIGHTS: like hidden files in windows are not going to be hidden according to rsync etc... The filesystems you are copying from to aren't the same keep that in mind. [08:07] azizLIGHTS: is this just a bunch of files or an actual OS partition that you want to backup? [08:07] oh, right [08:07] just the files, i dunno where they all are [08:07] i dont think theyre in c:windows for example [08:08] but might as well get it all [08:08] azizLIGHTS: yeah just -av will get them all. [08:08] cool cool, gonna do it now :D [08:08] ahh i miss my linux days [08:08] azizLIGHTS: well more specifically -a -v is verbose. a is short for a bunch of options that are listed in the man pages. [08:09] histo: yup i looked em up [08:09] azizLIGHTS: -z was compression. I'm used to using rsync over ssh for offsite backups so that's why I typed that. [08:09] but if you are local I believe it would probably slow things down more than help. [08:10] histo: yeah thats what i thought, since rsync is used locally and over networks as well [08:10] yeah it's like carbonite but free [08:10] and more secure probably [08:11] if my sound stops working system wide, what do you recommend I do besides restart pulseaudio?

[09:01] jnhghy, personally, I'd do a forced reinstall before I tried to remove and reinstall. sudo apt-get install package.name --reinstall [09:02] jnhghy, note: 11.10 is end of life in a couple of months. Assuming you've fixed the HDD issue, perhaps it's time to consider upgrading? 1204 is Long Term Support ...

[09:07] ok [09:07] hi, am about to install a new linux distro in my windows 7 machine..i booted from usb...but i have an existing ubuntu as dual boot.....now there's this windows in the linux installer that says, "Prepare disk space" [09:08] cfhowlett: thanks again :) [09:08] there are 3 options..install side by side, rease and use the entire disk, specify partitions manually [09:08] do you want to fresh install? [09:08] or do you want to keep windows 7? [09:09] my guess is, i should select the 3rd option..the select partitions manually..but am confused with this...the windows 7 (loader(/dev/sda1), /dev/sda2,/backtrack live, ubuntu 11.04(/dev/sda5),swap(/dev/sda6), /dev/sda3) [09:09] i wanna keep windows 7 [09:09] i dunno which to select from those that I wrote above [09:10] do you want to keep all of them? [09:10] sasori, easiest method would be to delete the backtrack stuff and tell ubuntu to use the freed space ... [09:11] huh?..backtrack is were am currently booted right now..it's in the usb..... the current OS of my machine is windows 7 and ubuntu 11.04 [09:11] sasori, thought you were install ubuntu? [09:11] what i want to happen is, keep my original os , which is the windows 7....and then remove the ubuntu 11.04 and replace it with backtrack [09:12] sasori, ok. delete ubuntu, install BT in the freed space. and for the record BT is not supported here, so that's all we can help you with .. best of luck [09:12] what cfhowlett said: BT's not supported here, so that's about the extent we can help you [09:13] sasori: ask in #backtrack-linux channel [09:14] ok...question not related to backtrack...let's say "just" linux itself [09:14] whatshould be the type? is it ntfs or swap? [09:14] type for what [09:14] Hi everyone [09:14] partition? [09:14] linux would be ext4 normally [09:14] saso.ri, hhahaha ,but no. Off to BT with you [09:15] I would need some help with installing in dual boot X-light-mind and Ubuntu [09:15] why would you want ntfs? ;-) [09:15] gr1603, no idea with x-light-mind is but xubuntu ....

[09:18] ok ubottu ..i thought you said you're a bot [09:18] :P [09:18] grub just refuses to default to anything, I have to hit enter [09:18] if update grub fails to see it. you can make a entry for it in /etc/grub.d/40_custome [09:18] !backtrack > ry|an [09:18] ry|an, please see my private message [09:18] sasori, she is a bot. i told her to send you a message :P [09:18] gr1603, ok found it ... [09:19] Should I run "sudo update grub" from Ubuntu? [09:19] gr1603, try that ... [09:19] !grub [09:19] GRUB2 is the default Ubuntu boot manager since 9.10 (Karmic).

[09:20] the last one was X-light-Mind but I assume I should update Ubuntu which was installed just earlier [09:20] * cfhowlett is pleasantly surprised to hear ubottu is a "she" ... [09:21] sidusnare: "GRUB_DEFAULT" just places the cursor on the entry, you always have to hit enter or to wait the timeout-time [09:21] I am not an English native speaker, so should you spot any mistakes, I beg your pardon [09:21] gr1603, no worries. OK, and these are true dual booting ? [09:21] I set the timeout to 1, it still waits for me to press enter [09:22] I am going to have a try with running "sudo update grub" [09:22] cfhowlett: me again, hope you don't feel like I'm harassing you, I decided I will go to ubuntu 12.04, upgrading would be an option? or should I do a fresh install? I prefer upgrade if it causes no issues....? [09:22] see you later [09:23] sidusnare: "grep time /boot/grub/grub.cfg" [09:23] jnhghy, no worries [09:23] its update-grub [09:23] sidusnare: grep "set default" /boot/grub/grub.cfg [09:23] ok [09:24] jnhghy, from 11.04 I'd highly recommend a fresh installation...

I can't even use Wubi [09:26] mbr issues.. [09:26] !LTS|jnhghy, not that 12.04 is LTS so you don't "have" to upgrade for 5 years! [09:26] jnhghy, not that 12.04 is LTS so you don't "have" to upgrade for 5 years!: LTS means Long Term Support.

[09:43] is ubutnu safe?

[09:47] windows isnt really closed source [09:47] It is but there should be a way to get it working on ubuntu [09:47] Kiiksu: why [09:48] it's a lame implementation of a vps, usually for people who can't figure out how to open ports [09:48] i use jre sometimes for confernecing with ubuntu os so that's why i am concernced [09:48] about java threat [09:48] Cuz im running ubuntu and I want to play games with my friends that they maybe haven't bought [09:48] Kiiksu, different OS's, different results... [09:48] Kiiksu, sorry to break it to you, but unless that specific program has been backward engineered to work on linu ... [09:48] just tell them to buy minecraft and/or terraria [09:49] So basically there is no way to create a LAN network in linux that can coexist within Windows? [09:49] Co-exists* [09:49] thats not what hamachi is [09:49] It basically creates a LAN network between different computers that are connected to the interrnet [09:49] its a VLAN if im not mistaken [09:49] vpn [09:50] or VPN [09:50] ok [09:50] !info openvpn [09:50] openvpn (source: openvpn): virtual private network daemon.

[09:50] The thing I want to achieve is to run a server so they can join aswell [09:51] We tried to do that without a VPN and it didnt work [09:51] I need to look into vpn's someday also. :) such a handy tool it seems i know so little about. [09:51] openvpn seems like it could work [09:51] does the AIO library come by default in 2.6 kernels? [09:51] or you know... just buy the game legally [09:51] No [09:51] thats not the problem [09:51] we both have the game [09:52] but we want to run a server [09:52] Kiiksu: Please don't flood; use http://paste.ubuntu.com to paste; don't use Enter as punctuation. [09:52] key word there is legally [09:52] If you had a Ubuntu VPS. you can then install OpenVPN on it and have pcs from around the internet connect to it and they all see each other as if they were on a local lan correct? [09:52] dr_willis: yeah [09:52] dr_willis: if your VPS has tun/tap support, yes [09:53] thats usually what vpns are used for. insecure communication over a secure tunnel. like using vnc over ssh [09:53] guys any info.. where can i find the AIO interface.

[10:01] Currently have launched Gparted live. [10:02] My HDD is "unallocated" [10:02] While it has 3/4 NTFS partitions. [10:02] How do i change irc-server? [10:02] If I connect my external HDD, it finds the NTFS partitions just fine. [10:04] how can i downgrade my intel graphics drivers? on 12.10 now [10:04] thanks [10:04] hi [10:04] when I try to install ubuntu in UEFI mode all I get is a black screen after choosing an option. I've tried nomodeset and xforcevesa without luck. [10:06] So help would be nice :D [10:06] bla_, what version of ubuntu? what hardware? [10:07] !details|bla_ [10:07] bla_: 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 ..." [10:07] Skyrdr: you mean the system sees your external ntfs disk. but not the internal one? [10:07] Well, define system. [10:07] Gparted shows my entire HDD as unallocated. [10:07] Ok. I've tried Ubuntu 12.10, Kubuntu 12.10, Kubuntu 13.04, all without luck. When I change to Legacy BIOS Mode it works without problems. It's a MSI GE60 and a Nvidia GeForce GTX 660M and an Intel Core i7 3630M [10:08] While as you said, the external shows the partitions just fine. [10:08] It's in dual graphics mode I can't change this setting in the BIOS/EFI [10:08] With entire HDD I do mean internal, yes. [10:08] gparted shows the internal disk as unallocated. how about sudo parted -l, or sudo fdisk -l, or sudo blkid [10:08] bla_, so run it in legacy bios mode ??? [10:08] yes [10:08] well ok, I just wanted to use a Dual Boot [10:08] Let me see if I can find the terminal. [10:09] Windows and Kubuntu. It only works in UEFI mode [10:09] tap super. type 'terminal' ;) [10:09] bla_, and nomodeset doesn't work??? [10:09] no [10:09] just get a black screen [10:09] there is " [10:10] there is a line with "--" in the GRUB boot options. I've tried to insert nomodeset before it but still a black screen [10:10] Oki, I used dusk fdisk -l [10:10] ** sudo [10:10] I see a bunch of hdd info, what am I looking for exactly? [10:10] should show the internatl hd with what partions are on it [10:10] also in BIOS mode, when I try to install the nvidia drivers I'm stuck in 640x480 resolution and have to reinstall Kubuntu [10:11] actually it will show all hds :) internal and external [10:14] This is what I see [10:14] http://i.imgur.com/W66nOf8.jpg [10:14] http://i.imgur.com/LBegUTh.jpg [10:16] 。 [10:16] FUCKING OPSDFVIUF SHIT [10:16] Unsure what to do so now :( [10:16] !language | RAVEN737 [10:16] RAVEN737: Please watch your language and topic to help keep this channel family-friendly, polite, and professional. [10:17] i just installed ubuntu for the 8th time and installe dupdates now i can't boot only see gtrub wTF [10:17] sooo how would I extend the allolocated drive space for ubuntu? I wanna give it 80Gb [10:18] Huddleston: With a partition manager like GParted? [10:18] 'need to restart' now nothing works fuk great [10:18] RAVEN737 have you perhaps tried some other linux distros? like gentoo [10:18] Oddly enough though.. [10:18] GParted does show the internal HDD partitions on the desktop. [10:18] never had any problems wuith debian.. how did you manage THAT? [10:19] raven, reboot. try to login to an older version of ubuntu. [10:19] ok so no error, just neatly boots to 'minimal bash-like; etc.. can this be fixed? [10:20] thats the grub shell... your bootloader/grub is broke sounds like [10:20] !fixgrub [10:20] GRUB2 is the default Ubuntu boot manager since 9.10 (Karmic). Lost GRUB after installing Windows? See https://help.ubuntu.com/community/RestoreGrub - For more information and troubleshooting for GRUB2 please refer to https://help.ubuntu.com/community/Grub2 - See !grub1 for releases before Karmic (9.10) [10:20] or is that the busybox shell. [10:20] bla_: I used ubuntu with Windows 7, if I use something like that to take a free 80Gb will it be okay on the Windows side? [10:20] it says gnu grub at teh toip.. but no error [10:21] Huddleston: windoes will want to check/scan the windows partions aftger they get resized. but it should work. you should have backups befor doing any resizeing of partitions [10:21] Huddleston: I don't know, I'm not an expert. Is your drive using GPT orMBR? [10:21] RAVEN737, yes it can probably be fixed. reinstall grub [10:21] So yea, I r stuck [10:21] !grub|RAVEN737, [10:21] RAVEN737,: GRUB2 is the default Ubuntu boot manager since 9.10 (Karmic).

[10:21] ok [10:21] RAVEN737: a live cd is the normal way [10:22] dr_willis: I have a windows Repair disk, will that work? [10:22] Huddleston: You might try gdisk -l /dev/sda and tell if it's using MBR or GPT [10:23] Huddleston: work for what? windows can resize its own partions while windows is running.. if you plan on shrinking wwindows.. then you can use gparted and a live cd to enlarge the linux side [10:23] oh man i might as well reinstall from scratch then.. oh.. i think i know why it f'up .. i chose xfs as fs on install.. iw roekd fine.. until updates :(( [10:23] Usually if it is GPT it should work. That's also the problem on my side, because I can't install Ubuntu in UEFI mode [10:23] You know what... [10:23] I give up on this internal hdd.. [10:23] No idea if grub has issues with xfs or not. [10:23] I think it's an overlapping hdd/partition issue. [10:24] dr_willis: I wanna extend ubuntu from 30Gb to 80Gb [10:24] Skyrdr: thats possible. ive seen windows hds bein some very weird states [10:24] As such, I'll just add a 200gb hdd (old one) and use that one instead.. :) [10:24] I think that's the easy solution [10:24] all i want is my tf2 pinguine >_<./. i have been at this since 9 in the morning *cry* [10:24] Huddleston: so shrink windows partiion, enlarge the linux one.. its doable from a Ubuntu luve cd with gparted [10:24] RAVEN.. Try using VMWare.. [10:24] I installed it yesterday and got my Tux a few hours later. [10:24] : / [10:24] RAVEN737: you can do a full install to a 16gb usb flash drive if you really wanted to [10:24] they should only let linux users get tux [10:25] dr_willis: thing is... I want windows to take the remaining left, I want ubuntu at a fixed 80GB [10:25] The things people do for in game collectables... [10:25] Huddleston: so you want to shrink ubuntu and enlarge windows? [10:25] So does anybody have other ideas beside xforcevesa and nomodeset? Because all I get is a black screen in UEFI mode [10:26] Okidoki, second HDD time. [10:26] Maybe it's because of the dual graphics (Intel/Nvidia), but I can't disable that in BIOS [10:26] thanks for the help.. i will try again [10:26] :P [10:26] dr_willis: Okay... I know I suck at tanslations... but i'm trying here... right now ubuntu sucks up 30Gb and windows uses the rest, I want to extend ubuntu to 80Gb and still have windows use the remaining portion [10:27] Huddleston: so you want to enlarge linux, and shrink windows... the ubuntu live cd with gparted can do that. Backup imporntant stuff first... [10:28] Huddleston: depending on how your disk is partioned you may need to do it in several steps with gparted. [10:28] dr_willis: I used wubi... I know it's stupid but I don't have any of this stuff atm [10:28] Huddleston: you dontg use partions with wubi.. you just enlarge your wubi hd file [10:29] id say defrag your windows setup. be sure you got the empty space on it.. and find a guide on resuzeing a wubi install [10:29] Meh.. wubi [10:29] Couldn't even get that to work [10:30] dr_willis: I see... because when I installed today it said "installation size" and the max size was 30Gb, assuming it's what I was allolacated [10:30] now i have to go home.. fire up steam on my ubuntu box and get into TF2 just to get a penguin... ;P [10:30] Hah [10:30] I'm going to get 26x Tuxes. [10:30] The more, the better. [10:30] Huddleston: wubi is not ment for long term ussage.. you really need more then 30gb of space with it? if you are doing that much real work in ubuntu. you may want to switch to a normal install [10:31] not played TF2 in perhaps a year.. it gets old.. [10:31] Is anyone online building android source succesfully on a 64-bit machine with 12.04 installed? I have a problem initialising the environment. [10:31] dr_willis: I'm probably going to be using games and stuff, and TF2 takes 12 Gb minumum === isaias is now known as Guest96096 === guard is now known as isaias [10:32] Speaking of ubuntu [10:32] Huddleston you should be looking into doing a normal install then and forget wubi exists [10:32] there are guides out on resuzeing wubi instgalls past the 30gb size [10:32] Latest features or LTS [10:32] Does it differ much? [10:32] dr_willis: Tried to this morning but the USB didn't work, and I don't think I have bigger than 700Mb disks atm [10:33] Huddleston: use some of the other tools at the pendrivelinux web site.. or just dd the iso straight to the usb [10:33] since i have no idea what 'dident work' actually means. ;) [10:34] dr_willis: Ubuntu wouldn't boot from the USB drive when I rebooted my computer, even after setting the BIOS [10:34] try the other tools to make the usb [10:36] dr_willis: I tried the direct USB, am I supposed to throw the whole .iso itself in there or each file within it? [10:36] the direct usb? [10:36] dr_willis: slap the files in and pray for the best, [10:36] theres a dozen differnt tools that can make a bootable usb from the ISO at the pendrivelinux web site [10:37] just drag/dropping the iso file on the usb is not the correct way... [10:37] theres a reason theres a dozen+ tools to make a bootable usb from the iso.... [10:37] Could anyone tell me how to join another channel? [10:37] npaz_: /join #channelnames [10:37] .. /join #channelname [10:37] :p [10:38] They don't really make it simple for Windows user to install ubuntu as dual.. [10:38] But that's m y opinion [10:38] they - as in 'microsoft' [10:38] I did that but nothing happened? [10:38] npaz_: look for any status messages perhaps? or in the server window [10:39] npaz_: where are you trying to join? [10:39] npaz_ what channel did you want? [10:39] A channel called metasploit. [10:39] dr_willis: How would one burn a install CD? [10:39] and look for any messages of the tyoe 'regiestered nicks only' npaz_ ? [10:40] Huddleston: theres dozens of iso burner apps out for windows and linux. [10:40] !burn [10:40] CD/DVD burning software: k3b (KDE), brasero (GNOME), gnomebaker, xcdroast, wodim (command-line) | To burn ISO files, see https://help.ubuntu.com/community/BurningIsoHowto [10:40] infrarecorder is a good one on windows.. thers others [10:40] 12.10 needs a dvd [10:41] npaz_, same thing here. NO reaction to the command ... channel might be gone [10:41] If you want to dual boot just use wubi. Search "wubi" in google. [10:41] npaz_: the stupidity of the situation is that it only gives me 30Gb [10:41] i joined #metasploit just fine [10:41] npaz_, wubi is for TESTING ubuntu, not for long-term installation. Thus say the wubi developers [10:41] regiestered nicks only i imagine [10:42] Huddleston: as i mentioned.. there are tools out for windows to resize that 30gb to somthing bigger.. but its best to get away from wubi [10:42] ohh shit. Cant you use a virtuell dvd? Like poweriso or deamon-tools ? [10:42] you dontt use deamon tools or poweriso to BOOT/install ubuntu onto the hard drive [10:42] or right. My bad. [10:42] oh* [10:42] you make a bootable USB or DVD [10:43] dr_willis: sooo obviously it needs to be a DVD and a CD rom won't work? [10:43] you could use the wubi install to 'dd' the iso file straight to USB [10:43] 12.10+ ubuntu needs a DVD [10:43] npaz_, actually, metasploit DID respond ... #metasploit :Cannot join channel (+r) - you need to be identified with services [10:43] cfhowlett: ;) [10:43] Oh okey hehe. === altair is now known as Guest21234 [10:44] Most channels need you to regiester/identify these days it seems [10:44] /ECHO [10:44] ups [10:44] sorr [10:44] y [10:44] bla_: Please don't flood; use http://paste.ubuntu.com to paste; don't use Enter as punctuation. [10:44] hey guys [10:45] dr_willis: So would it be easier to just go buy some DVD-ROM's than mess around with Trying to make my USB into an installation disk? [10:45] Anyone here familiar with Linux Live USB creator? (lili) [10:45] If so, step 3, persistance.. (Choose how much MB to write) is not required for installation, correct? [10:45] Only for live usage. [10:46] Skyrdr: correct. even there its only optional [10:46] you havent even tried a proper tool to make a bootable usb..... [10:46] Awesome, thanks. [10:46] I wish to install it on my second hdd which I just installed. [10:46] So I don't need live. [10:46] Just burn the iso file? [10:46] lili is a little annoying. but it works [10:47] As long as it works :) [10:47] can someone explain to me why I can't chat with my friend with the command /chat ? [10:47] connection timeout [10:47] Try /query nickname [10:48] it works [10:49] why didnt chat command work? [10:49] dr_willis: and after all that how do I uninstall wubi's boot? [10:49] As you would remove a normal software in windows [10:49] Ubuntu is under the uninstall software list [10:50] wubis main feature is it puts an entry in the software list [10:50] Skyrdr thank you! [10:50] Beats me, depends on the client gh0sthead [10:50] Some supports /chat, but mainly it's /query [10:50] well that's convinient, what about the .iso ubuntu? how does one kill off that when I don't want it anymore? [10:50] but np. [10:51] Huddleston: Delete it...? [10:51] Huddleston: Even in Windows, files can be deleted. [10:52] bekks: yes, let's remove an entire operating system from windows [10:52] Huddleston: You were asking about a single .iso file in your laste question. [10:53] bekks: .iso ubuntu as in installed from a CD instead of wubi [10:53] If I install Ubuntu on my second hdd.. [10:53] Huddleston: And when you dont need that .iso file anymore, you can delete it. [10:53] Will the installation overwrite any boot records? [10:53] I prefer to keep the dual boot. [10:53] I have a DLink DW-160 usb wifi card, ub. 12.04x64. I am looking to get it working, but the site referenced by any guide I find in the forums, askubuntu, etc, refuses to load. can anyone help? [10:53] Huddleston: Thats whats you were asking, and thats what has been answered. [10:54] grub takes over booting, and you can boot both os's Skyrdr [10:54] bekks: okay cool [10:54] Sweet, thanks.

[10:55] Daniel_GT: /j #android [10:56] not sure, I never did a dual hdd dual boot with windows and ub. [10:56] Skyrdr: That way grub will not discover your windows to create a menu entry for booting. [10:56] I never got the option "install with windows alongside" or something either. [10:56] The problem is with the files to be installed in Ubuntu, I understand what I should do (the android guidelines) but Ubuntu won't let me!?

If you insist on getting people's opinions, ask BestBot in #ubuntu-bots. [11:11] Delux: Doesn't really matter. Grub uses different naming conventions and again when you are booting youare using UUID in your fstab also. [11:12] fstab is great after install is done [11:12] shanty [11:12] but during installation I keep having failure when trying to load GRUB loader on something other then sda [11:12] Delux: it's only for your sanity that the installer still says sdx [11:13] Delux: Because the drive that is sda is probably already marked as bootable. [11:13] ok bye [11:13] nope [11:14] Delux: You can select which ever drive you want to install grub to. If it will only default to sda just tell it no [11:14] hey [11:14] histo, I deleted every partition other then the partition on sde [11:14] and it fails [11:14] everytime [11:14] can someone help me with something [11:14] Delux: I have personally installed ubuntu fully to a usb key from a sdcard on a this laptop, so from sda to sdc, and it gave me no issue [11:14] Delux: How does it fail do you get an error?

[12:30] ok thanks dr_willis :) will try [12:31] dammit [12:31] dr_willis_: Found this via askubuntu, thanks! :) http://www.webupd8.org/2013/01/enable-trim-on-ssd-solid-state-drives.html [12:31] If I remove apache will something else stop working? How can I find out what depends on it? [12:31] Bekks what should I put in the the field useradd -u stuffhere Username? [12:31] does anyone know how to list the modules you can load? [12:32] hilarie: the numerical userid you want. [12:32] every module? that would be all the .ko files on the system :) for the current kernel [12:32] ntzrmtthihu777: find /lib/modules/$(uname -r) -type f [12:32] Jonny1: just give it a try via apt, if it lists other packages to be removed, they depend on it [12:32] bekks so anything I want that is a number? [12:32] I guess I should try removing apache in synaptic and hopefully it should warn me what else depends on it. Is that the only was? [12:32] hilarie: That number is called "userid". [12:32] Jonny1: http://askubuntu.com/questions/5636/can-i-see-why-a-package-is-installed [12:33] ntzrmtthihu777: Ah you anticpiated my question === Dmnchild_ is now known as Dmnchild [12:33] bekks thank you for your time! [12:33] * xjdesx i can't find it on the page...I'm sorry i know this. isn't a help section . im totally new to ubuntu [12:34] * xjdesx can someone just direct me to how to change your ip address thru terminal ? ubuntu 12.0.4 [12:34] xjdesx: change for what reason? === LaserShark is now known as LaserShark|dead [12:34] You can set a static ip if you are on a home lan.. [12:34] i was ip suspended on a irc channel for talking too much too fast [12:34] pretty dumb [12:34] xjdesx: ip 10.0.0.1/8 dev eth0; ip a d [12:34] not spam even [12:34] xjdesx: thats not going to work i imagine.... [12:35] xjdesx: I think you might you ifconfig. Try man ifconfig [12:35] i did [12:35] any tools out there with a GUI to monitor my network? iv got 2 computers and a adsl router .... wanna keep a eye on traffic, if internet is up and if computers are on / off [12:35] xjdesx: and how are you connected to the internet? [12:35] i puled up ifconfig [12:35] RT2870ok, I found the module, but sudo modprobe rt5572sta does not load it [12:35] xjdesx changing your ubuntu IP address most likely wont change your external IP address [12:35] wirelessly [12:35] xjdesx start here http://www.jonathanmoeller.com/screed/?p=4053 [12:35] xjdesx: Or try ifconfig --help [12:35] xjdesx: your isp will still be giveing your router the same ip. i imagine [12:35] yeah i know =/ [12:35] xjdesx: Jonny1: first i guess changing the ip he needs to change, would mean reconnect the internet. 2nd: ifconfig, route and netstat are deprecated, ip should be used [12:35] macchanger is nice, and tor is too [12:36] i dont have my VPN up and running either [12:36] not on ubuntu [12:36] any good VPNS you recommend for Ubuntu? === erry is now known as zombierry [12:36] haguichi for hamachi [12:37] i give up this is retarded [12:37] free up to five connections [12:37] but if you use the tor browser it masks your ip [12:37] ntzrmtthihu777: why would you recommend a proprietary, untrustworthy vpn to ubuntu users? [12:37] Hellow! I disabled blank screen after a period of minutes, but i still get it? Any idea? [12:37] can someone tell me linux distro that already has binary package of xen 4.2.1? [12:38] Hello people [12:38] DeathMan|: check on the disrtowatch web site perhaps [12:38] *shrug* it worked for me playing d&d over rptools, nibbler__ [12:38] DeathMan|: or see what 13.x has === some1 is now known as Guest56397 [12:38] nibbler__: I just tried ipconfig and that command is not found [12:38] IloveWin8nUbuntu, greetings [12:38] sudo iwconfig [12:39] ntzrmtthihu777: i never suggested it would not work, just pointing out that its neither secure, nor open, and not in the repositories i'd guess [12:39] I want to install Ubuntu in a netbook. Will it affect performance? [12:39] not the default ones, no [12:39] IloveWin8nUbuntu: sure! [12:39] IloveWin8nUbuntu, depends. for a low spec machine like a netbook, I suggest you try lubuntu or xubuntu ... [12:39] IloveWin8nUbuntu: Ubuntu will probably run faster than windows on any machine === LaserShark|dead is now known as LaserShark [12:39] Netbook I want to install is the HP Pavilion dv2 [12:39] if it was running win7 before, you should expect it, big resource hog [12:40] blech, hp. I have a need/hate relationship with them [12:40] It was running Vista Business pre-installed and boy. It was a sure lag. [12:41] IloveWin8nUbuntu: Try resizing your windows partition and installing it alongside windows and see how you go with it. If you don't like it, you can always remove it and resize the windows partition back again [12:41] anyone? the module is here /lib/modules/3.2.0-37-generic/kernel/drivers/net/wireless/rt5572sta.ko but does not load with sudo modprobe etc [12:41] IloveWin8nUbuntu: By "it" I mean Ubuntu or any other flavour like lubuntu or xubuntu as suggested by someone else [12:41] i do gubuntu [12:42] Why do you guys call it "flavour" instead of "editions"? [12:42] because windows 7 is an edition, utimate is a flavour, basically === Fuchs is now known as zombiefox [12:42] so you can have ubuntu 12th [12:42] IloveWin8nUbuntu: I have stopped being surprised how much faster my computer runs on ubuntu than windows now. Don't know why I called it a flavour. Be thankful I didnt use flava! [12:43] Jonny1: Haha [12:43] so you can have ubuntu '12th edition' kubunto flavour [12:44] Strictly speaking, the version numbers aren't editions, they refer to the year of release [12:44] and that system only started being used after the first few versions [12:44] ntzrmtthihu777: There is no "ubunto 12th edition". There is [k|x|l]ubuntu 12.04 and 12.10 [12:44] hey! do you think if enough people got behind it gubuntu could become standard like lubuntu or xubuntu etc? [12:44] IloveWin8nUbuntu: Recently I installed ubuntu for my not terribly computer literate friend because she suspected her windows7 was infected with malware and she didnt trust it. It was gratifying when she noticed it booted and ran much faster than windows and now she refuses to go back to windows! [12:44] Damn. Looks like I wasted money upgrading to the Lenovo ThinkPad SL400. I have installed 12.10 and boy it was totally 100% pure awesome. Nice work developers, [12:44] I'm just tryina explain the dif between flavors. [12:45] ntzrmtthihu777: I think so, but largely depends on Canonicals whims :P [12:45] blech unity [12:45] hello there, anyone could help me install ubuntu? [12:45] Canonical's* [12:45] sure, not a prob cyphaw [12:45] cyphaw let's hear it [12:45] ntzrmtthihu777: Which doesnt change the fact, that it is a) "Ubuntu" instead of "Ubunto" and b) there is no 12th edition at all. [12:45] !install | cyphaw [12:45] cyphaw: Ubuntu can be installed in lots of ways. Please see https://help.ubuntu.com/community/Installation for documentation. Problems during install? See https://wiki.ubuntu.com/CommonProblemsInstall - Don't want to use a CD? See http://tinyurl.com/3exghs - See also !automate [12:46] xD but yeah, typo on the first, and just a way of speach [12:46] ntzrmtthihu777 12.10 means 2012, 10th month [12:46] it's a bit tricky, I can't boot on any live usb/cd, but I can boot on ubuntu which is installed on a usb stick [12:46] cyphaw: The live cd will pretty much guide you through the process. I recommend creating a separate home partition so that when you want to try another linux distribution, you can share your home with all of them [12:46] erm, isnt that in fact a live usb? [12:46] that ubuntu doesn't have the "install ubuntu" icon on the desktop, I'd need it [12:46] ntzrmtthihu777: A pretty childish way of speaking... [12:46] cyphaw: oh.. there is a way to install from another installation. But it's nonstandard. [12:46] bekks: tolerance - the Internet is full of strange people ;) [12:47] Burritoh: yes, that's what I'd need [12:47] * ntzrmtthihu777 shrugs [12:47] Can I select the "Try Ubuntu" option when I use a CD Install? Sorry. Never used Ubuntu before. [12:47] sounds like the usb sticks are not being made right. [12:47] I talk how I talk, and thank you Burritoh, strange b I. [12:47] Burritoh: And full of people not knowing the difference between u and o :P [12:47] cyphaw, or you can install virtualbox and test different flavors there [12:47] IloveWin8nUbuntu: yeah, you can :) [12:47] cyphaw: there are ways to set up grub2 to boot an ISO file that you could have on that usb stick [12:47] The Canonical Teamfortress 2 server is outdated :p [12:47] nah, i bet he actually has a full install to usb and not the "install disc" usb [12:48] @Burritoh woo. Ubuntu FTW! [12:48] :) [12:48] You could set up a 'full install on a usb flash' and customize its grub menu to boot an ISO file. [12:48] if you had a big enough usb flash [12:48] dr_willis_: do you have a link for that? that could indeed help [12:48] bekks: I know the diff, I'm just getting used to a new keyboard, lol [12:48] cyphaw: not done it in ages.. should be plenty of guides out on booting iso file with grub2 [12:49] dr_willis_: yeah there is a great guide in the wiki [12:49] cyphaw: i just made a custom entry in /etc/grub.d/40_custom for the ISO file i had. [12:49] is it possible to put some content in a symlink directory? I'd like to have a mirror directory, but when I put some content in it, it takes the priority on the other symlinked directory content. [12:49] dr_willis_: found some docs on google, I'll try that, thx [12:49] I had /boot/ holding an ubuntu iso file as a rescue/recovery method for a long time [12:49] alright. gtg. [12:49] IloveWin8nUbuntu: By the way, I think the difference between editions and flavours is that 12.04, 8.04, 8.10 and 12.10 etc are different editions of Ubuntu. Anyone else feel free to correct me. Redhat, Ubuntu, Suse etc are all different distributions of GNU/Linux. I guess I use the word flavour where I should probably use distribution. [12:49] theres some tools at the Pendrivelinux site that can do it alwo [12:49] yeah, /boot/iso/*.iso for me [12:50] https://help.ubuntu.com/community/Grub2/ISOBoot [12:50] well [x|l|u]buntu is all one distro, but three flavours [12:50] rechtig? [12:51] Appears kinda right... I see them as three distros which are closely related [12:51] um, no one has taken a shot at my question :/ [12:51] in the same way that LMDE and Linux Mint are different distros, but have a very overlapping community and development [12:51] I wasn't here when you asked :P === fred is now known as Guest13885 [12:52] Looks like ILoveWin8nUbuntu who asked the question has gone anyway, before we get too hung up on semantics. I will probably continue to be lazy with language when it doesnt matter too much [12:52] yay lol. I just compiled the drivers for my wireless card, but they wont load when I sudo modprobe them [12:53] win8 = shudder. [12:53] any idea as to why, and how I can fix? [12:53] ntzrmtthihu777: wat card? [12:54] I haven't personally compiled drivers before... are you sure there isn't a driver with a conflicting name? [12:54] DLink DW-160 [12:54] rev A [12:54] ntzrmtthihu777: How can we know it, without you even giving us the chipset name and the error message? [12:54] I hate when I have to use windows. Win 7 has an annoying habit of installing updates without permission when you try to shutdown. It's particularly irritating when you have a train to catch and windows needs to stay connected to the mains and to the internet to update and there is no cancel. Or when you needed to reboot and you really need to get on with something else! [12:54] nah, I grepped out all the similar names, only one [12:54] yeah, that rally sucks [12:55] sorry, I had spoke of the chipset earlier, but its a new crowd it seems === posdifu_ is now known as posdifu [12:55] ID 2001:3c1a D-Link Corp [12:55] ntzrmtthihu777: Thats an USB ID, and no chipset name. [12:56] derp, one sec [12:56] ntzrmtthihu777: wat drivers are u trying to install? [12:57] what do you guys recomend i read to get the basics of ubuntu down ?

When I shut down my laptop I see apache closing. I don't know why apache is even running since I dont use my machine as a server (and dont want to). It just seems like something to eat CPU power and possibly expose my machine to incoming connections risking threats. I do have dropbox running but that doesnt appear to depend on apache. I checked in synaptic and if I mark libapr1 for removal it prompts me that the fol [13:04] I'm trying to set up acl following an ubuntu tutorial, it says I have to edit /etc/fstab and add an acl keywork on it, but it doesn't contain a /home partition, only "proc" and "none", what should I do? [13:04] I would also be interested to know why apache was installed and running in the first place under ubuntu desktop rather than server. [13:05] I'm following this tutorial https://help.ubuntu.com/community/FilePermissions#Setting_up_ACL [13:05] Jonny1: perhaps a dependency for something else you installed?

You dont [13:05] Halite: you don't, thats the way unity is [13:06] Halite: if you want a bottom dock use a dock. [13:06] what are 'guest additions' in ubuntu ? [13:06] ThinkT510: That's what I thought but synaptic doesn't highlight any other dependencies so I guess I can safely remove it. Just wanted to check [13:06] Guest addations are normally for virtualbox setups anew [13:06] anew, they are not ubuntu. they are part of virtual bod [13:06] box [13:06] dr_willis_, how [13:06] anew: guest additions is for virtualbox, it allows mouse integration and shared folder support [13:06] can i make sed insert a blank line if the first 10 chars (date) of the line differ from the date of the previous line? [13:06] Halite: How what? theres numerous docks in the repos [13:06] guest additons are a way of making a guest and host talk better, basically [13:06] cfhowlett: I think much prefer virtual bod! [13:06] oh i see [13:07] dr_willis_, how do I add a dock [13:07] ntzrmtthihu777: Which is wrong, basically. [13:07] ah ok so it is not a 'guest' in the sense of ubuntu, it's 'guest' in the sense for fb [13:07] Halite: fire up the package manager tools.. and install one [13:07] *vb [13:07] !manual | Halite [13:07] Halite: The Ubuntu Manual will help you become familiar with everyday tasks such as surfing the web, listening to music and scanning documents.

Some options are: avant-window-navigator, cairo-dock, docky (formerly part of gnome-do), stalonetray, simdock, kdocker, kooldock. [13:07] ntzrmtthihu777: The guest additions do provide a graphics driver, and a shared folder driver. Both have nothing to do with "talking better". [13:07] How can I choose a dock [13:07] Halite: flip a coin? [13:07] dr_willis_: sir please help me :( [13:07] Halite: read their decriptions and try them all? [13:08] anew: Guest additions give you for example folder that can be shared between your host and guest operating systems. I think it also gives you a seamless guest display rrather than the guest OS in a window [13:08] santaop: with? [13:08] not really, bekks. I know what they do, I have a vbox of winxp [13:08] Halite, make a list. try each one. choose a flavor. install [13:08] ntzrmtthihu777: Then you never read the manual of vbox. [13:08] ok, hopefully it makes the vm run faster [13:08] dr_willis_: grub2 ,,,,i can't boot to win 8 [13:08] santaop: i dont use Win8. no idea on it. [13:08] anew: nothing to do with speed [13:08] just general gist, better integration = better talking. it may not be the technical term but it works [13:09] and not the whole thing, but I did read the section of guest additions [13:09] run faster = allocate more mem to the vb ? [13:09] dr_willis_: could you gave me documenatation to manually add window to grub2 [13:09] ntzrmtthihu777: Then you know that the guest additions only provide a graphics driver and a shared folder driver. And no "better integration". [13:09] anew, yep. in vb, mem matters [13:09] !grub2 | santaop [13:09] santaop: GRUB2 is the default Ubuntu boot manager since 9.10 (Karmic).

I badly require help in this regard . Any sort of guidance is appreciated :-) [13:09] Hello. I'm trying to install the Binary driver for an AMD/ATI Card. I tried using the "Restricted Drivers" option from System Settings but that didn't work out (either with the normal or -updates driver). Now I manually built the driver that I downloaded from the AMD, installed, run aticonfig --initial, rebooted, I get the "amd testing only" (downloaded the beta driver) watermark, but fglrxinfo still throws an error. Any other help I can get? [13:09] ok let me give it a little more mem [13:10] so you would not consider seamles mode to be a better integration between host and guest, then? [13:10] anew: memory can help but very difficult to know by how much [13:10] anew: I doubt it will make the vm run faster, possibly a little slower but not noticeably. I use guest additions so I can share files between my host ubuntu and guest OS. It wont allocate more memory to the vm. You choose how much memory to allocate in the vm's settings [13:10] ntzrmtthihu777: I dont use seamless mode at all. :) [13:10] or sharing folders [13:11] Gday ! [13:11] anew: I also like seamless mode but it's not everyones choice [13:11] In addition, when I try "modprobe fglrx", I get module not found :-/ [13:11] !hello | Guest21321 [13:11] ntzrmtthihu777: And it is working just because of the grapics driver provided by the guest additions. And shared folders dont integrate anything, the just create the ability of shring files between host and guest without involving a network connection. [13:11] Jonny1: that factoid was removed years ago [13:11] ntzrmtthihu777: Since which version do you use vbox? [13:11] hmmm seelmess mode seems to not be available for me [13:11] my router and card do not really "shake hands", but that is what its called anyways. I generalize to get the point across, it lets your guest/host transfer files/data, "talk" [13:11] ThinkT510: Oh well! [13:12] Hi. I am trying to downgrade "compiz" on precise due to segfaults in new version. I do "apt-get install compiz=oldversion", but I am getting an error: "Version '1:0.9.7.8-0ubuntu1.4' for 'compiz' was not found". Do I need to add some "archive" source to sources.list? [13:12] Guess it was though impolite [13:12] hah, so you gonna pull the old-timer card? [13:12] ntzrmtthihu777: No, I am just curious. [13:12] Jonny1: people just kept abusing it [13:12] Im a linux greenie, almost a year now [13:13] vbox about half the time. [13:13] ntzrmtthihu777: Welcome to this wonderful world! I've been a greenie since 2008! [13:13] brownie since 99 [13:13] stu314: downgrading isn't really supported [13:14] Guest21321: How can we help you? Just ask your question. [13:14] I only use win$ as absolutely needed, and I am making my own solutions to get away from it, lol. [13:14] thankya Jonny1 [13:14] ntzrmtthihu777: Welcome to vbox then - I have to pull the old-timer card, since using it since 2007 ;) [13:14] should i change base mem or video mem ? [13:14] anew: Yes, change them to your needs. [13:14] ok made base mem 2gb [13:15] anew: How much RAM does your computer have? [13:15] 8gb [13:15] honestly once I finish the tools I am working on I may do away with vbox, wont need winxp anymore [13:15] win8 [13:15] hello; is there any way to connect hdmi without having to reboot? I'm using 12.04 [13:15] anew: If you are trying to make your vm faster, then try it. You can always change it back. Just be aware that the more resources you allocate to your guest OS, the less will be available to your host OS [13:15] ThinkT510: Do you mean, that it is not possible to find the older version in any source? [13:15] So... nobody? AMD/ATI video problems? [13:15] viashimo: Yes, just plug it in. It should start working immediately [13:15] ok [13:16] anew: If your host machine doesnt have much memory you could run into problems [13:16] stu314: i only stick to what is in the default repos, adding other repos is a very easy and quick way to mess up dependencies, i really wouldn't recommend it [13:16] Jonny1, it doesn't unfortunately. xrandr shows that HDMI is disconnected. my monitor picks up no signal and sleeps [13:16] i dunno why my vm is going so slow [13:16] anew: unity doesn't perform well in a vm [13:17] yeah, I gave my winxp vbox 1 of my 6 gigs, plenty for that [13:17] is there something else i can run with ubuntu instead of unity [13:17] anew: plenty, my favourite is xfce [13:17] or at least turn down all these graphics options in sentence [13:17] *settings [13:17] viashimo: Oh bummer! Mine just works when I plug it in (not that that helps you, unfortunately) but I remember I did enable the second monitor in the Displays applet under settings [13:17] anew, of course. logout login and choose a different session [13:17] o/ I've got wifi issues. Ath9k driver keeps disconnected. My wifi card is AR982X. My dmesg shows wlan0 link disconnected. I've tried instlal wicd. I've tried the hwconf edit. I've tried installing compat-drivers. WHY is wifi such a difficult thing to setup is mind boggling...I've googled around for days. If I cannot receive I response, I feel I'll need to revert back to windows. I really need this to work. Please help me. [13:18] anew: theres also kde, gnome-shell, lxde, enlightenment [13:18] anew: I like gnome classic [13:18] anew, or you can install others ... xfce kde lxde ... [13:18] and i can access all those just by logging out and back in ? [13:18] Jonny1, I normally have clone display set for 2nd monitors. works fine with vga. I'll keep poking around, thanks anyway :) [13:18] ThinkT510: You probably misunderstood my question. The desktop does not work, compiz segfaults. There is no way to use the computer, my only option is to downgrade. I don't need a recommendation, how to not mess dependencies, I need a way to install an older version of a messed up package. [13:18] anew: once they are installed you select them on the login screen [13:19] what is the most basic, gnome classic [13:19] stu314: ok, sorry [13:19] Can I message you ? [13:19] stu314: In synaptic you can right click on a package and force it to use an older version [13:19] anyone ;_;? [13:19] anew: lxde would likely be the lightest [13:19] Guest21321: Yes but it's better to ask your question here so everyone else can see it and if anyone else knows an answer they can chip in [13:20] great let me give that one a shot [13:20] this channel is great [13:20] OK. I'm going to remove apache. I hope it doesnt break anything [13:20] anew: It certainly is. Lots of helpful people around. [13:20] laddu_: can you ping something ? [13:21] Before I remove apache, does anyone have any reason for me to keep it (don't want to break anything) [13:21] Jonny1: The problem is, apt-get can't find the older version. So I thought, that it is probably not in the sources anymore. Am I right? Are older versions deleted from the sources? [13:21] ok installing lxde so this one should not use a lot of mem i'm hoping [13:21] stu314: No idea. Have you tried it from synaptic? [13:22] stu314: sudo apt-get install synaptic if you don't already have it. I much prefer synaptic to the Software manager [13:22] unity does not perform well at all *chuckle* [13:22] am I still connected [13:22] Whoop, there is quite a lot of people here. [13:22] ntzrmtthihu777: Yes you are. I just find Unity to be user unfriendly. Gnome is much easier to use in my not very humble opinion [13:23] Jonny1: Never mind, thank you. [13:23] I am about to install ubuntu 12.10, what would you guys recommend for installation, a new partion on the harddrive or can I just install it and I get some sort of dualboot? I've never tried two OS'es at once. [13:23] anew: I don't know if gnome classic is most basic. It's just the interface I am used to since Ubuntu 8.04 [13:23] i'm giving lxde a shot [13:23] i need it to run on 512 because my raspberry pi is coming soon [13:24] Joel__: a new partition would be a dual boot [13:24] I like my old-school gnome-falback, lol [13:24] The manual doesn't tell me how to install a desktop interface other than Unity [13:24] do you know why "fdisk -l" can fail on ubuntu 10.01 lucid? It tells me 'cannot open /proc/partitions"? [13:24] Joel__: What do you have running already? I recommend a new partition in case it doesnt work. Then you can fallback on whatever you already had working. I never trust a new edition until I've seen it working [13:24] how to load the correct kernel module and driver for my laptop sound card [13:24] I'd prefer an interface that looks like Windows 7 [13:24] 10.04* lucid [13:24] ThinkT510: Ah, then I do one then, can the ubuntu OS access the files from the windows partion? [13:24] Halite, xfce or lxde [13:25] * riderplus Go away! [13:25] dude, I feel like such a geek. I am using irssi, an in-terminal irc client, and I use lynx, a terminal web-browser, prowl the forums :D [13:25] Halite: http://www.psychocats.net/ubuntu/classicgnome [13:25] anew: mind if i ask what do you plan to use your pi for? i've been contemplating getting one [13:25] well two things [13:25] Jonny1 Thanks for the attention ! I dont need a help for now . Its just my first time in this channel ! Gday to All ! [13:25] Joel__: indeed, ntfs support works great [13:25] Jonny1: I am a ol' windows user, I wanna give ubuntu a shot. I run W7 at the moment and wanna convert to ubuntu-12.10 pretty much [13:25] 1) play around as a webserver and 2) (my real use for it) running perl scripts [13:26] ThinkT510: So the new partion doesnt need to be huge then? Just enough for the OS? [13:26] Joel__: I remember the feeling. I recommend resizing your windows partition, then creating a partition of about 20-50 GB for your Ubuntu OS, a swap partition of approximately 1-2 times your RAM and then the rest can be a home partition for your files. [13:26] Joel__: and whatever you install, yeah [13:27] sudo apt-get install whatever, in general Halite [13:27] yeah, I came here first after installing irssi just to test it out [13:27] Hah, well... this sucks.. [13:27] Jonny1: Thanks man, will give that a shot. [13:27] I installed some ATI package(s), and now I can only see desktop item(s) that I installed. [13:28] The above / side bar is missing now after a reboot. [13:28] Joel__: If you later want to try another distro or edition, you can simply shrink the home partition to make room for it. I use 12.04 as it's a long term support edition so possibly more stable. I just tried installing 12.10 on my work laptop and there are some problems I havent fixed yet. [13:28] sup Skyrdr? [13:28] I wonder who to revert the packages [13:28] press alt+f2 and type gnome-panel [13:28] That I installed.. I assume this is the cause of the ati package. [13:28] hi all. how to run java run time apps from internet ? [13:28] But that may be down to the crappy Toshiba laptop I have at work (it won't even boot from USB even though it's enabled in the BIOS) [13:28] some java games need it [13:28] Jonny1: Ah thanks for warning me. I am getting the 12.04 then. :) How hard is it to up a distro then? Just download it? [13:28] !java [13:28] To just use java you need a "Java Runtime Environment" (JRE) and/or a browser plugin. If that is not sufficient you will need a "Java Development Kit" (JDK) aka "Software Development Kit" (SDK). Please see https://help.ubuntu.com/community/Java about how to install one of three current implementations. [13:29] thinkt510 when you say 'lightweight' does that mean use the least resources ? [13:29] !install | Joel__ [13:29] Joel__: Ubuntu can be installed in lots of ways. Please see https://help.ubuntu.com/community/Installation for documentation. Problems during install? See https://wiki.ubuntu.com/CommonProblemsInstall - Don't want to use a CD? See http://tinyurl.com/3exghs - See also !automate [13:29] anew: yes [13:29] I install my java from ppa, I can give you a link if you like, murlidhar [13:29] Joel__: Follow the instructions at the ubuntu download page. Create a live CD and then go for it [13:29] cool [13:29] Almost nothing works.. [13:29] ntzrmtthihu777: sure [13:29] The only thing that works is rightclick, create directories. [13:29] Joel__: Sorry, I mean, just boot from it and try it [13:29] and getting in the system settings. [13:29] Jonny1: Is it bootable from an USB too? [13:29] http://www.webupd8.org/2012/01/install-oracle-java-jdk-7-in-ubuntu-via.html [13:30] anew: if you want to go even lighter there are things like fluxbox or maybe a tiling wm if you are feeling adventurous [13:30] ntzrmtthihu777: thanks :) [13:30] what about lubuntu ? [13:30] has any one tried sidewall on 12.10? [13:30] Joel__: Yes, but not if you are using my crappy Toshiba! [13:30] did you try the alt+f2 thingus? [13:30] Yup, nothing happens. [13:30] I'm setting up an ubuntu server (which will also be their internet gateway) and a network with 20 computers. What is an easy way of allowing all the computers to communicate to the server but preventing communication between the computers? [13:30] anew: lubuntu is ubuntu with lxde by default [13:30] W: Failed to fetch http://ppa.launchpad.net/fioan89/slidewall/ubuntu/dists/quantal/main/binary-amd64/Packages 404 Not Found [13:30] Joel__: For some reason I am in the habit of always installing from CD. Probably because my old computers couldnt boot from USB [13:30] i dont get the difference between lubuntu and lxde ? [13:30] Jonny1: Haha thank god my pc got USB support on boot [13:31] nope, no idea Coded1 [13:31] lubuntu is built on lxde so lxde is actually lighter ? [13:31] anew, get them both [13:31] Jonny1: I never installed from USB, always used a disc myself too. I dont trust USB's really. [13:31] yeah, I know the feel Jonny1 [13:31] anew: lxde is the desktop environment, lubuntu is a meta package which provides lxde and some other default apps [13:31] anew, different set of packages by default. lighter system load is the goal of both xubuntu and lubutnu [13:31] I use usb mostly now [13:32] what about kubuntu [13:32] I downloaded the windows ubuntu installer thing, I hope it make me able to select the partion. :P [13:32] Joel__: ntzrmtthihu777: For an old geezer like me there is also some comfort in having a disc in my hand that I can right on with a marker pen [13:32] unetbootin gave me shit, but the usb-creator-gtk does the trick well [13:32] Yup [13:32] And CDs are cheaper too [13:32] I'm stuck now [13:32] * ntzrmtthihu777 llols [13:32] Halite: kubuntu is ubuntu with kde by default [13:33] Or even write on (I should be able to spell better) [13:33] Joel__, windows installer is for installing ubuntu as fake "windows" program. It's for testiing purposes.... [13:33] and they need to (re)make gubuntu *rawr* [13:33] Jonny1 yes, but usb sticks can be erased and used for the next version [13:33] what's a gubuntu? [13:33] yeah, wubi.exe = fail [13:33] CDs are also very slow [13:33] cfhowlett: So it's kind of a virtual OS/machine? [13:33] Joel__: If you use the windows installer it will install ubuntu as an application running under windows. Kind of like a virtual OS [13:33] Joel__: avoid wubi, a vm would be better than wubi [13:33] it does not exist, but it should. ubuntu with pure gnome lol [13:34] Joel__: To install it on a partition, you need to boot from a live CD or live USB [13:34] Joel__: not exactly like a vm because no emulation takes place [13:34] Then I avoid the Wubi haha. [13:34] Joel__, no it actually is ubuntu running but the configuration is a mock "windows" compatible package [13:34] there should be Wubuntu [13:34] ntzrmtthihu777 there's gnome-remix [13:35] If you guys would recommend any kind of OS, would you recommend ubuntu? [13:35] hmm i think i'll go with lubuntu [13:35] yeah, I heard of that. I just did my fallback and I'm good. I just wish it had a default like kxlbuntu does [13:35] ntzrmtthihu777: what happen if you download ubuntu core and then install the gnome-core package. isn't it the same like "pure" gnome? [13:35] Joel__ yes, as this is the ubuntu channel [13:35] Joel__, ummm ... yes??? (as he asks in #ubuntu ..._ [13:35] Wubuntu would have a Windows interface (probably not gnome) and would be compatible with Windows .exe [13:35] Haha yeah I know this is ubuntu but I am not familiar with the other similar OS'es [13:35] I just mean it should be an option to download the iso with it default like ubuntu [13:36] I am downloading the 12.04 iso now [13:36] !wine | Halite [13:36] Halite: WINE is a compatibility layer for running Windows programs on GNU/Linux - More information: https://help.ubuntu.com/community/Wine - Search the !AppDB for application compatibility ratings - Join #winehq for application help - See !virtualizers for running Windows (or another OS) inside Ubuntu [13:36] MonkeyDust: I didn't say I wasnt old fashioned. My collection of CDs mean I can install old versions not available for download if I want. I own two old machines that cannot run anything beyond 8.04. Then again rewritable CDs or DVDs are still cheaper than USB sticks. [13:36] Joel: if you love risk, you can install cygwin and the gnome enviroment [13:36] Halite there's a ubuntu fork with a windows-like look, i forget the name and it's not supported here [13:36] Joel__: if in doubt, try it out in a vm. a vm is a brilliant testing environment (you can mess up anything you want in a vm) [13:36] ntzrmtthihu777, WINE is too confusing [13:36] ioria: Since I got no experience at all with the OS I rather take the safe route. :) [13:36] no, its very easy ^_^ [13:37] in fact if you have the gnome destop the wine programs have their own division in the "start menu" [13:38] Joel__: It's a matter of personal preference. I prefer Ubuntu because when I first went to linux back in 2008 it was the first one I found easy to install. I think I also tried opensuse and something else but I couldnt figure them out. Ubuntu just installed from the CD and worked [13:38] * riderplus is back from the dead. Gone 0 hrs 13 min 10 secs [13:38] Is this tutorial valid for ubuntu 10.04 lucid? (https://help.ubuntu.com/community/FilePermissionsACLs), I don't have any "home" entry in "/etc/fstab" please help me [13:38] man i'm confused, lubuntu is lxde+ubuntu... so then what is lxde by itself then? is that possible to install ? [13:38] !away | riderplus [13:38] riderplus: Please do not use noisy away messages and nicks in Ubuntu channels. It is annoying and unnecessary. Use the command "/away " to set your client away silently. See also «/msg ubottu Guidelines» [13:38] that's because your home folder is not on a separate partition [13:38] Joel__: I also use Ubuntu Studio. You could try Ubuntu Satanic Edition if you like heavy metal and want a laugh [13:38] bilel: what do you have in /etc/fstab? [13:38] bilel instead of struggling with 10.04, consider upgrading... 10.04 will be unsupported in a few weeks from now [13:39] anew, yes. as I said, you can install lxde [13:39] holy sh*t, that exists Jonny1 ? [13:39] anew: lxde is the desktop environment, if you are already on any ubuntu flavour then you can install lxde [13:39] Jonny1: It sounds like a safe bet then. I'll burn it to a CD then. :) [13:39] lubuntu is ubuntu with lxde and a suite of applications as well as a nice startup screen and custom settings to make it pretty [13:39] can you install lxde without ubuntu ? [13:39] anew, install it to what? [13:39] If I want photoshop to run on ubuntu, will I need to use WINE or something like that? [13:39] anew: what do you mean? [13:39] bilel: That could just mean you don't have a separate home partition and your /home is simply a subdirectory to / (the root directory) [13:39] jrib: http://pastebin.com/Yb8Sfh15 [13:39] yes [13:39] ntzrmtthihu777: Google it. It's a laugh [13:39] you can anew, download the mini iso [13:39] likely, Joel__. or learn to GIMP [13:39] Joel__, wine maybe. OR you could use gimp [13:40] bilel: what's the output of « mount »? [13:40] dunno ... so if i install lxde, and i have ubuntu - isnt that essentially lubuntu ? [13:40] and apt-get install lxde [13:40] anew, lxde is the desktop , ubuntu is the OS ..do some research [13:40] anew: yes [13:40] I refuse to use GIMP. Only bad experience from that satanic software. [13:40] I GIMP and imagemagick the hell outta stuff [13:40] jrib: "/dev/vzfs on / type reiserfs (rw,usrquota,grpquota)" [13:40] anew, no. lxde is ONLY the desktop environment. lubuntu-desktop is the metapackage of all the lubuntu applications [13:40] if you install lxde it's not lubuntu as lubuntu has some differences in configuration from the stock lxde [13:40] mmmm i see [13:40] ok i think i understand now, thanks [13:41] bilel: you're using openvz? [13:41] so the 'most' lightweight thing to have would be lxde plus ubuntu [13:41] ubuntu + lxde + other apps = lubuntu [13:41] NOT lubuntu [13:41] no [13:41] !lubuntu | anew [13:41] anew: lubuntu is Ubuntu with LXDE instead of !GNOME as desktop environment, which makes it extremely lightweight. See https://wiki.ubuntu.com/Lubuntu - /join #lubuntu for lubuntu support. [13:41] Joel__: Probably. However, there are some programs that wont install under WINE. For them you might need windows running in a virtual box. I use GIMP that comes free with Ubuntu. Once you get used to it and read the wiki you will find it pretty powerful. It might not have all the bells and whistles of photoshop but I like it [13:41] if you're going for lightweight just start with lubuntu [13:41] Yeah, I have my vbox for RPG Maker XP [13:42] it's easier [13:42] anew: i'm with lubuntu on a pentium 3 with 500 mb ram [13:42] Photoshop 2003 is free online from adobe fwiw [13:42] Hello ; any one tell me about over heating and loss battery power in ubuntu 12.10 [13:42] ioria: Wow! [13:42] what kinda laptop, rj_ ? [13:42] as it seems that you don't know where to start with lxde, another option would be to install lxde and just the lubuntu-settings package [13:42] !wubuntu [13:42] !distro [13:42] Other !Linux distributions besides !Ubuntu include: Debian, Mepis (using !APT); RedHat, Fedora, SUSE, Mandriva (using !RPM); Gentoo, Slackware (using other packaging systems) [13:42] jrib: not me, I have a virtual host, it's like shared hosting but withouth sharing the system resources with others, each people has its own limitation, i's isolated apparently [13:42] !linux [13:42] Linux is the kernel (core) of the Ubuntu operating system. Many operating systems use Linux as a kernel.

Search for factoids with "/msg ubottu !search factoid". [13:42] acer E1-571G [13:43] seems eaiser, but still a tad confused on the difference, seems lubuntu has more apps [13:43] yeah :-) i think that's the best idea [13:43] I have a corsair k90 keyboard and I can't get it to work properly in ubuntu. its a 16 bit usb keyboard [13:43] bilel: ask your provider how you can enable ACLs then. They may not even allow you to [13:43] with dual graphics card [13:43] Jonny1: Ah I see. I've grown up with PS and uses it daily so not having that would be kinda sad. [13:43] anyone here know how I could get it to work [13:43] ? [13:43] anew: no, lubuntu has a different set of default apps, thats all [13:43] rj, what kinda laptop? [13:44] acer [13:44] if its an hp its got nothing to do with ubuntu, hp is notoreous for overheating. [13:44] is there something similar to sidewall (clock/widget overlays, live earth, etc) ? [13:44] for wallpaper [13:44] Joel__: I'm not saying it wont work under WINE. You wont know till you try it. I have some windows apps I still need to run. I run some of them under wine and some under windows xp on virtual box [13:44] anew: but you can install what you want [13:44] conky is nice, Coded1 [13:44] Coded1, look in the software center .... [13:44] anew: i installed gnome too [13:44] basically the lubuntu makers decided on a suite of applicaitons that they thought met the goals for the lubuntu project [13:44] * ntzrmtthihu777 byes [13:44] Halite i guess you want zorin, support in #zorinos === some1 is now known as Guest92089 [13:44] and made those default in a standard lubuntu installation [13:44] Jonny1: Ah then I get to see if it works.

[13:47] jrib: ok.. [13:47] Hi, I have a weird problem. I was on my Ubuntu 12.04 installation and wanted to try the new KDE, so I installed it from kubuntu-ppa/backports and then my audio input was weirdly broken, so i removed it again, after a reboot the computer schows me only this http://i.imgur.com/bRgFmaY.jpg (last sentence is mountall: connection to plymouth closed. Does anybode have some tipps? [13:47] !medibuntu [13:47] medibuntu is a repository of packages that cannot be included into the Ubuntu distribution for legal reasons - See http://www.medibuntu.org [13:47] Joel__: most people won't need medibuntu [13:47] Joel__: It gives you things like DVD and MP3 support [13:48] my acer aspire E1 laptop lose power [13:48] !ubuntu-restricted-extras [13:48] For multimedia issues, this page has useful information: https://help.ubuntu.com/community/RestrictedFormats - See also https://help.ubuntu.com/12.04/ubuntu-help/media.html - But please use free formats if you can: https://help.ubuntu.com/community/FreeFormats [13:48] Jonny1: mp3 support is available in the default repos already [13:48] Why wont it support dvd and such in the first place? [13:48] Jonny1: has been for years [13:48] Joel__, because those are propietary codecs [13:49] Joel__: Also see restricted extras. Because of a licensing issue. The DVD encrypted format can't be released under the GNU Public Licence I think [13:49] Joel__: lisence issues [13:49] ThinkT510: Shows how out of date, I am [13:49] Ah. Thats odd [13:50] hi will the feutures and things for unity that will land in 13.04 be backported to ubuntu 12.04.*? [13:51] Joel__: It's a slight pain of open source but there is a way round it. Just installing proprietary codecs sorts it. I think they can't be included in Ubuntu because in some countries they might not be legal or something like that. I forget exactly why but it probably mentions something in the webpages other people posted [13:51] SterkaSor: Usually not, unless someone else does it. [13:51] SterkaSor: Generally no, some things may be, but normally, the versions in 12.04 will stay the same [13:51] !ubuntu+1|SterkaSor, [13:51] SterkaSor,: Raring Ringtail is the codename for Ubuntu 13.04 - Support only in #ubuntu+1 [13:51] theadmin: what is then benifit of running LTS? [13:51] Jonny1: I never thought there would be such a problem, I've used windows 7 all the time and took it all for granted eh? :P [13:52] SterkaSor: longer support [13:52] SterkaSor, long term support ... 5 years for 12.04 [13:52] Joel__: Are you OK for a few minutes? I have to reboot into win7 now as my work's remote desktop connection doesnt work under ubuntu since they couldnt be arsed to develop it for linux. I will be back in a few minutes [13:52] SterkaSor: Stability, people planning to use it know that the software versions won't change [13:52] ThinkT510 and cfhowlett yeah I know longer support. But how does it help when package gets outdated? [13:52] Jonny1: Aight, godspeed! :) [13:52] it's like buying a sedan vs. an experimental race car you know the sedan will work for a while [13:53] the race car could break down and you'd need to install new components or tinker more [13:53] SterkaSor: what you are thinking of as "outdated", others think of as "stable". Newer software isn't necessarily better software [13:53] DJones: outdated package is not the same has program will work during al does years correctly. [13:53] Joel__: You will get used to the limitations. Generally less than the limitations windows puts on you but ultimately you will decide what you prefer and make your own choice what you use. You can always go back to win when you need to [13:53] SterkaSor, the overall LTS releases are more "polished" and less bleeding edge than the interim releases. future updates can be had via backports or manually installing them. [13:54] SterkaSor, for example, I installed libreoffice 4.0 last night. not in the repos, yet. 3 command lines, 15 minutes, done. === magentar_ is now known as magentar [13:56] morning guys [13:57] Installing Ubuntu on my laptop says, near the end of the install, "the installer has encountered an unrecoverable error"... any way it's going to tell me what exactly the error is, so I can fix it? :) [13:57] mike304, greetings [13:57] anyone experiencing random freeze and then restart right after that?

When I try to do ..., I get the following output: ..., but I expected it to do ..." [13:59] Hyperbyte: check higher consoles [13:59] Joel__: The things I prefer about Ubuntu: I can install ubuntu in under an hour and it comes with a bunch of apps built in. My current record with win xp and all the updates is a day and a half and about twenty reboots (or at least it feels like it).

All he seems to do is to play around in terminal and update his OS. [14:00] cfhowlett, nice! Found it... in /var/log/installer/dm... it says "Illegal instruction" :-) Hopefully there's more somewhere. [14:00] Joel__: Maybe he's a geek! [14:00] * cfhowlett ... MAYBE he's a geek??? [14:01] Hes an ubuntu fanboy alright, if he was on I would let him guidem through the process but hes probably off somewhere installing ubuntu on a machine from '97 [14:01] My friend doesnt know anything technical about computers and she is quite happy using ubuntu. In fact she prefer's it to windows now and that happened on the first day [14:01] I've got the iso downloaded, would it just be that easy to burn it with nero or something, then boot the cd? === terlalu is now known as terajana [14:01] Joel__: Yeah, just burn the image like you normally would. [14:01] Joel__, nero is good [14:02] Joel__: You have to burn it as an image not as a file but yes [14:02] Joel__: You can also use a USB stick. [14:02] Joel_: pay attention... not copy but burn the compressed image [14:02] Joel__: You can get under the hood as much or as little as you like. [14:03] theadmin: How would I proceed to do on an USB? Just put the file on there and then boot from USB? THat easy? [14:03] Joel__ use unetbootin [14:03] Joel__: No, not that easy [14:03] Jonny1: Nero seem to know how to burn Iso files haha [14:03] Joel__, unetbootin [14:03] Joel__: https://www.google.co.uk/webhp?sourceid=chrome-instant&ie=UTF-8ion=1&#hl=en&sugexp=les%3B&gs_rn=3&gs_ri=psy-ab&tok=4y_HAmpQI9iWbKQhBMlKGQ&cp=23&gs_id=8&xhr=t&q=install+ubuntu+from+usb&es_nrs=true&pf=p&newwindow=1&tbo=d&sclient=psy-ab&oq=install+ubuntu+from+usb&gs_l=&pbx=1&bav=on.2,or.r_gc.r_pw.r_cp.r_qf.&bvm=bv.42553238,d.d2k&fp=c73b2e14325bafc9&biw=1280&bih=938 [14:03] Joel__: Use the imagewriter tool provided by the Ubuntu team, or unetbootin [14:04] Joel__ http://unetbootin.sourceforge.net/ [14:04] Joel__: or dd, if you're on a UNIX system. [14:04] Joel__: Sorry that was my google search for install ubuntu from usb. What I meant to post was https://help.ubuntu.com/community/Installation/FromUSBStick [14:04] it is not possible to have nautilus to sort the folder based theyr size, right? [14:05] VlanX: I don't see why not. View the file list as a detail view and then click on the date column [14:05] VlanX: Folders don't have size [14:05] VlanX: right click → arrange items → by size [14:05] Okay I'll download the software for boot from usb now. :p [14:06] jrib, Jonny1: Folders don't have "size" as such. I'm not sure if that's the case for Nautilus, but Thunar only displays the overall size of all items in a folder if I go into its' properties [14:06] Joel__: Good luck. If you can stay in here on another device, people will be able to hold your hand if you encounter problems [14:06] Quite likely that Nautilus acts in a similar fashion [14:07] Jonny1: For this occasion I wish I brought home my schoollaptop [14:07] Joel__: I use an irc client on my phone when I have problems with my computer and I cant get access to another computer [14:07] what is DVEVM boards? and is a usb nand flash? [14:08] Joel__: But the first time I installed Ubuntu I didnt even know about IRC or the forums and it installed with no problems. This was back in 2008 on ubuntu 8.04 [14:08] theadmin: I think nautilus just computes the sum of the sizes of files in the directory [14:08] can i install ubuntu on my HTC Desire HD?

[14:12] wasnt sure nvm I can now see its not :) [14:12] MonkeyDust: an embeded? [14:12] hilarie: seems like the fix should be backported since the package is unusable without it.... But you can grab the source package from 12.10 and attempt to rebuild it on 12.04. That's probably the most straightforward method. Also see ubottu about backports, there may be some hints there [14:12] !backport | hilarie [14:12] hilarie: If new updated Ubuntu packages are built for an application, then they may go into Ubuntu Backports.

I don't have access to a Win7 machine right now, but formatting it using fat32 should work just fine. [15:30] anew: Insert the iso into the virtual cd of the vm, mount it, run the installer. THATS what the manual says. [15:30] rita_: no space infront [15:30] kutulal: start with man vnstat ? [15:30] Ok!

[15:39] this is the output i get [15:39] so I have two computers on ubuntu here. internet working fine on both. tasksel installed and working (in theory) on both. one can install lamp-server, the other can't download files from the repositories.

[15:42] Does anyone know how to get a machine with Phoenix SecureCore Tiano BIOS to boot off a USB key? [15:42] mainerror__, if you have a better method , then post it for rita_ [15:42] UserLinux: You could boot a livecd and check you have sufficient disk space left. [15:43] maybe this error, after upgrade kernel to v3.7.5 [15:43] BluesKaj, additional drivers don't work [15:43] Or a Live CD, for that matter. How can I get my new laptop to boot off a CD? [15:43] UserLinux: Which Ubuntu do you have? [15:43] bekks: I sory I not using Live cd [15:43] 12.04 [15:43] they don't work or you can't find them rita_ ? [15:43] or is there a way to change the color of the terminal when I'm root? [15:44] I have the BIOS page open in front of me, but it won't let me change anything. [15:44] bekks: i removed the file causing problem. then it works now. [15:46] somehow the problem file is an HTML page-dont know why. now everything back to normal. the same system error also disappeared [15:46] BluesKaj, i do alt+f2 get newschreen where i type additonal drivers + enter notting happend [15:46] new screen ?

Be patient :) [15:47] UserLinux: Can you login to your computer somehow? [15:48] Araneidae: is your question about secureboot? [15:48] Afraid so :( [15:48] It won't let me boot anything, and I can't see any way to disable it [15:48] My bios is Phoenix SecureCore Tiano === gh0strider is now known as Guest5687 [15:49] how can i get the additional drivers in gnome unity [15:49] I've tried three boot sources: a Mint image created with Unetbootin, a Ubuntu 10.04 live CD, and a Mint image created with Mint's USB creator tool. [15:50] Araneidae: I haven't worked with itself myself but I see news about it from time to time. is this new to you? http://blog.hansenpartnership.com/linux-foundation-secure-boot-system-released/ [15:50] rita_, try alt+f2 , jockey [15:50] Araneidae: perviously there was also http://mjg59.dreamwidth.org/20303.html [15:51] Thank you for both of those [15:51] I think a 10.04 cd would be too old, and if I'm not mistaken mint doesn't have secureboot stuff in it. I think fedora 18 and new ubuntus might. [15:51] Is the problem so new that nothing's been integrated into existing installs? Think we have a bit of a brick wall for people trying to install LInux on net hardware at the moment [15:52] Wonderful. Rebooted with the nvidia drivers and now my desktop is gone. Just the steam shortcut. :I [15:52] Crap. So what *can* I install? Or do those links give me wrappers that will work around the problem? [15:52] And I thought we were being told, when this stuff was first mentioned a year ago, that we'd always have the option to turn it off [15:53] I see no such option [15:53] Araneidae: hah yeah, I hate the direction we're moving in with respect to actual freedom. I don't know how to repair existing installs, you may be able to boot a working livecd and chroot in and do some work like that [15:54] I don't know the technical details involved, though. :( I should really learn them, since my next computer will likely have this crap to deal with [15:55] sirspazzolot, I'm afraid don't understand the first link you gave me: what is a .efi file? [15:55] which is the best ati radeon driver for elementary luna (based on ubuntu precise) [15:56] sahil: we don't support it [15:56] chipset is 785 (hd4200 perhaps) === dpac is now known as dpac|away [15:56] sahil: We dont support anything else but Ubuntu in here. Ask your Elementary Luna support. [15:57] So is Linux effectively shut out of new Windows machines for the time being? [15:57] Araneidae: my current understanding is that they operate by magic and make your computer boot. there are probably tutorials or something online, I only had those two links bookmarked [15:57] How do I get the darn google icon out of my mail notifications? [15:58] I do not use google+ at all. [15:58] err okey whats the best driver for ubuntu precise,i am dual booting with luna [15:58] sirspazzolot, but somehow they need to be integrated into what is being booted ... and that bit is missing, exercise for the reader. [15:58] best ati radeon* driver [15:58] Why is this not a big deal at the moment [15:58] Araneidae: I don't know. it's strange how on certain fronts linux is gaining huge ground, what with steam and all, but on others it's becoming the 'super geek technical thing' again [15:58] !best | sahil [15:58] sahil: Usually, there is no single "best" application to perform a given task. It's up to you to choose, depending on your preferences, features you require, and other factors. Do NOT take polls in the channel. If you insist on getting people's opinions, ask BestBot in #ubuntu-bots. [16:00] Araneidae, EFI is a smarter replacement for the BIOS... an .efi file is a file that the firmware can go read from the drive and execute to do things like boot the OS.. there's this secure boot crap now where the efi firmware verifies the digital signature on the boot loader image and won't load it if it isn't signed by the proper ( microsoft ) key [16:00] Araneidae: I'm afraid I can't help with the actual process. hopefully somebody else in this channel knows, or you might have to go to the forums with it [16:00] oh. right on cue. :) [16:00] I am having trouble with iptables under ubuntu linux. This is what I have, in this order, that is causing the issues. "-A FORWARD -s 192.168.182.0/24 -d 192.168.1.0/24 -p tcp -m tcp --dport 5900 -j ACCEPT" "-A FORWARD -s 192.168.182.182/24 -d 192.168.182.0/24 -p tcp -m tcp --dport 5900 -j ACCEPT" "-A FORWARD -s 192.168.182.0/24 -d 192.168.1.0/24 -j REJECT" Whats wrong? [16:00] name a "better" driver for ati radeon in which i can play some light games,and which doesnt makes the desktop a slow poke or breaks the system [16:00] sirspazzolot, it's pretty upsetting, actually. My g/f is on at me about making her computer too complicated ... and now I find I can't even set up a new laptop. Microsoft wins big. I've had to pay for a Windows image I'm never going to use, and I'm probably going end up taking this f***ing machine back because of this sodding boot issue. === margareta is now known as Marg [16:00] Aaron_`: Use a pastebin please, your last post is completely unreadable :) [16:01] Araneidae, the firmware should have an option to disable the secure boot [16:01] bekks: Aoligies.. One moment. [16:01] psusi, how do I proceed if I have a bootable USB key in one hand (I want to put Mint on the laptop) and this POS laptop in the other? [16:01] psusi, yes. [16:01] But it doesn't [16:01] Araneidae its always a joy to see somebody rage quite. [16:01] Good, eh? [16:02] Hello, I have a NetGear WNA3100 USB wireless adapter and have installed the driver using ndiswrapper, and everything is working, until I try to connect to WPA protected wireless. In /var/log/syslog I came accross wpa_supplicant authentication timed out error and have searched google....alot...but cant find a solution, any help? [16:02] Araneidae, you looked through all of the screens? it should have an option to turn it off entirely, or an option to add a new, non microsoft key [16:02] Marg, I think I'm working on it. I've been putting off this laptop purchase for months now, and I see I'm deep in shit with no way forward apart from taking the laptop back [16:03] psusi, adding a new key? Interesting... There aren't so many BIOS pages, hang on a moment [16:03] and Ubuntu now has a signed grub that should work if you install the proper key into the firmware... I'm not sure exactly how to go about that though [16:03] It has a "Security" page with "Secure Boot Configuration" at the bottom, and that has a line saying: "Secure Boot: Enable" === Guest5687 is now known as dem0n === TheRainbowDawn is now known as Dawn_ [16:04] Thats okay there was errors in it anyway. Here is what I have in my iptables that isn't working. Note that thee are other items there as well before these entries, but it was passing packets fine (I just want to restrict them to poty 5900) http://pastebin.com/YJwxDMTu [16:04] Araneidae, there you go.. make it disabled [16:04] Alas, unlike all the other pages in the BIOS, nothing is editable on this page [16:04] Nice one [16:04] I am a woman that just installed Ubuntu last night. Sure things look a little different on this Dell Inspiron. [16:04] I've somewhere seen a hint that the only way to disable this is through Windows. WTF?! [16:05] THis page says "Configures Secure Boot features", but nothing on this page is editable [16:05] Araneidae http://news.softpedia.com/news/Linux-Foundation-Releases-UEFI-Secure-Boot-System-328103.shtml === Kitar|st_ is now known as Kitar|st [16:05] ahaha. yeah that rings a bell, something about if it's an oem install only ms and the oem have the ability to tweak certain things [16:05] Hi, could anyone please help me getting that SDHC card mounted so i have write access too? I'm trying to install ubuntu 12.04LTS booting from that SDHC Card, but unetbootin won't copy the files onto it since it's mounted as ready only :( [16:06] call up the oem and demand they tell you how to disable it [16:06] or return it for a refund [16:06] Anyone can help?? :grin: http://pastebin.com/RwEXX9xy <<-- binary shell script error [16:06] Oh FFS. I can't buy a laptop *without* a fing OEM install. psusi, that's exactly it. I suppose I can try contacting Fujitsu [16:06] that'll be fun [16:06] okay guys so tasksel is refusing to work on this computer and instead of tracking down whatever bizarre behavior it's trying to do, does anybody have an alternate way to one-shot install a lamp server [16:07] Uefi is replacing the bios [16:07] lamp stack, if that's the more appropriate term [16:07] At least the shop say I have 14 days to take it back for a full refund, but that just moves the problem on... [16:07] you could take it back and buy a computer with regular old bios [16:08] it can still come with win8 and be clean of the secureboot crap [16:08] sirspazzolot, best of luck finding one of those in the shop today [16:08] :( [16:08] oh they're all uefi? that's sad. [16:08] sirspazzolot, actually to get the "made for windows 8" sticker, it has to use uefi secure boot [16:08] oh. that's stupid. [16:08] Indeed so, only hobbyist motherboards are UEFI free now [16:08] and not for long, I'm guessing... [16:09] UEFI is fine and dandy, it's the secure boot crap that is the problem [16:09] so nobody has an alternate way to one-shot install a lamp stack? [16:09] LAMP = Linux Apache M? PHP (can't remember the M) [16:09] mysql [16:10] mysql [16:10] oh yeah. Don't people use postgres instead these days? (Not a db programmer) [16:10] but LAPP is a boring name [16:10] :P [16:11] how can i see what screendriver is installed in ubuntu 12.04 [16:11] hi, when i use special PPA's, it always makes *.save files in /etc/apt/sources.list.d . How can i prevent it? [16:11] rita_: pastebin the output of lsmod [16:11] Araneidae: oh, looks like there is actually a "LAPP" [16:11] with Postgres [16:12] so in my vh, the resolution of the desktop looks ok, but windows are enormous [16:12] and text also ?

[16:13] this computer likes to finish apt-related processes without unlocking the apt stuff [16:14] theadmin, i915 [16:14] yep, i know. i just wanna prevent *.save files occur in that folder because when i use apt on terminal, it shows some warnings about *.save files.

[17:36] bekks/chrisbuchholz: Create a ghost user maybe? [17:36] bekks: do you know what the trend is then? [17:36] password for what? the program itself? [17:36] SonikkuAmerica: Which will not help in solvin the problem at all. [17:37] chrisbuchholz: I am not that deep into programming, sorry. I'd just use something like the gnome keyring, or the kdewallet. [17:37] SonikkuAmerica: what is a 'ghost user' ? [17:37] lehzeni: the program i have created manages encrypted encfs folders. On Mac OS X i use the built in Keychain framework to securely store the password so my program personally dont have to handle that.

(Physical Address Extension) [18:42] It's an old computer, centrino processor I think or pentium m [18:43] I get an error message each time i try to install, "this kernel requires the following features not present on the cpu: pae" so I am assuming the answer is no. [18:43] Roubles: Guess not. Try getting a non-PAE kernel. [18:43] ls [18:43] Yep. [18:43] Roubles: Check this: http://www.webupd8.org/2012/05/how-to-install-ubuntu-1204-on-non-pae.html [18:44] SonikkuAmerica: Will it cause a problem for me when I update though?

[18:45] ho can i listen to internet radio [18:45] (I am trying to decide whether it's better just to walk away from ubuntu). [18:45] Roubles: No, you shouldn't. The Mini ISO is designed universally. You probably tried to install with an ISO that had a dependency on PAE. [18:45] hello all, I have a quick question. I am running win7 right now. Is it possible to install Ubuntu on a separate drive with its own boot-loader such that I choose which OS to boot by using the motherboard's boot devices priority? === fox_wilson is now known as fwilson === fwilson is now known as fox_wilson === fox_wilson is now known as fwilson [18:46] mdobrinin, sure [18:46] mdobrinin: If you install it on another device (such as another HDD), yes. [18:46] is it possible to change a symlink target without having to delete it? The "-f" option odesn't do the trick [18:46] and I don't need to mess with my current hd's bootloader? [18:46] mdobrinin: Although I'm not sure why you would want to do that... [18:47] mdobrinin: Nope. [18:47] i am thinking i doing this wrong this my specs 8 gigs ram 256 sdd running 32 bit [18:47] SonikkuAmerica: I had an issue in the past where grub messed everything up and I had to reformat everything, so I'm trying to keep the OSes as separate as possible :) [18:47] I figured out my wifi issue. got a new wifi card. [18:48] mdobrinin: The Windows bootloader won't find Ubuntu, but Ubuntu *might* find Windows, no matter what priority setting you select in your BIOS. [18:48] mdobrinin: Or at least GRUB2 [18:49] bilel: I don't think so, at least the ln manpage doesn't show an option for that [18:49] bilel: Why do you need to? [18:49] Does the current Windows Installer replace the windows bootloader with GRUB? [18:49] mdobrinin: Err... no, it does the other way around :P [18:50] mdobrinin: Oh, you mean WUBI? [18:50] theamin, yes I mean if I install Unbuntu with WUBI or whatever its called [18:50] basically, I want to dual-boot Ubuntu, but minimize the risk of something going wrong :) [18:50] mdobrinin: It doesn't replace the Windows bootloader with GRUB, it makes the Windows bootloader chainload grub [18:50] theadmin: it's for a deploy script, I'm not sure wether having this small latency time when the symlink doesn't exist is a good idea === mainerror__ is now known as mainerror [18:51] basically it's for symlinking the current production code to the new release [18:51] Hi [18:51] Camel`: Welcome to #ubuntu.

The windows have "x _ []" to close, min or max the window. it's very odd. [18:57] theadmin: np ;) but do you understand the output, apparently it should work but it' not the case, see http://stackoverflow.com/questions/1727280/is-there-a-way-to-edit-a-symlink-without-deleting-it-first for example [18:57] why can't i directy listen to the live stream of q-music.be but well when i copy the link in rhytmbox [18:57] pardon, the windows do *not* have close, max or min buttons. theirs a whole part of how windows tile, lay on top of each other, resize etc which is just suddenly broken. [18:58] bilel: Well, as you see, it should work with "ln -sf" [19:00] where did thunderbird store the mail files [19:02] where store thunderbird the mail files [19:03] theadmin: that's what I did, a comment below says it only works for files not folders, anyway I'll go for "rm mirror && ln ..." in that case [19:03] thx === TheSwed is now known as TheSwede [19:04] Hey guys can you help me out with my ubunutu problem?

[19:06] Okay so here it is. I am trying to install the windows installer and dual boot it. I installed it to my seperate hard drive that does not have windows installed on it and it seemed to go okay. Then when I rebooted and chose ubuntu it asked me to put in the windows recovery CD and then directed me back to choose a boot option. [19:06] TheSwede, wubi?

[19:12] okay, so if i was to install the 12.04 desktop version would it delete everything from the partition that it would be instlled to? === nyuszika7h_ is now known as nyuszika7h [19:12] TheSwede: only if you specify it to [19:12] how would i do that? [19:13] I believe there's an option in the installer -- something along the lines of "Use whole disk" [19:13] TheSwede: naturally you'd need a separate partition for ubuntu [19:13] wait nvm that's the disk not the partition [19:14] !partitioning | TheSwede [19:14] TheSwede: For help with partitioning a new install see: https://help.ubuntu.com/12.04/installation-guide/i386/partitioning.html - For partitioning programs see !GParted, !QtParted (!Kubuntu 8.10 and lower) or !PartitionManager (!Kubuntu 9.04 and up) - Other partitioning topics include !fstab !home and !swap [19:16] the thing is that I already have a partition on the drive. So i cant create a new one [19:17] I am considering moving to Ubunto from Windows 8 but how can I use Photoshop on Linux? [19:17] and also Skype (with webcam support?) [19:17] TheSwede: Then how do you want to install Ubuntu without having space for it? [19:17] Ice_Strike: Only via Wine. Skype is available natively. [19:17] Ice_Strike: Try using Gimp for photo editing [19:17] I knew someone will say Gimp [19:17] Yuck [19:18] Ice_Strike: You can run PS in Wine, it works fine most of the time iirc [19:18] Ice_Strike, check the appdb [19:18] i have 200Gb free im just wondering if i can install it to that partition and not delete my files that are on the same partition [19:18] theadmin I was thinking running virtual PC on Linux and install Windows on top [19:18] TheSwede: Only using Wubi which is not recommended. [19:18] Ice_Strike: That'd work too [19:18] TheSwede: You could use virtualbox as well. [19:19] theadmin Which would be faster as performance? [19:19] Ice_Strike: Wine would, most of the time, though on a decent machine it shouldn't matter... [19:19] i guess. I am just going to do a little experimenting for a while and get back to you guys if i have anymore problems [19:20] Ice_Strike: you can also run Windows in vbox (or just dual boot) if you don't want to let go of Windows [19:20] Ice_Strike: I've got XP & W7 in Vbox, both run pretty quickly (4gb, i3 laptop), I'd say its as fast as a native install if that helps [19:20] DJones Thats sweet [19:21] what about Skype [19:21] with webcam [19:21] Ice_Strike: Skype is available natively, like I said already. [19:21] Hmm I see [19:21] people i installed the plasma netbook in ubuntu software center but nothing happens???? [19:21] Hm I went to install again. It was doing "copying files" and that completed, so then I selected my location, but now it seems to have frozen again. I think it is related to that specific part, can anyone help me? I verified the md5 of the ISO... [19:22] kicklighter: Nothing will just "happen", you have to log in to it :/ [19:22] I by rapoo h3050 headphones but in wireles mode they not working. is anyway to fix this? [19:22] and what should i state in the terminal [19:23] i boot the thing log and out..... [19:23] Do I have to shrink my windows 7 partition to accommodate Ubuntu if I'm using WUBI? Or does it sit inside? [19:24] mdobrinin: It sits inside. You'd better use vbox. [19:24] mdobrinin: It installs to a file. [19:24] mdobrinin: You can install normally if you wish to do partitioning [19:24] mdobrinin: It's just a single button, really, "Install Ubuntu alongside Windows" :P [19:24] I am fine with it sitting inside, is ther a reason I would use vbox? [19:25] mdobrinin: Well, wubi is broken half the time [19:25] :( [19:25] on Windows - I never had problem with my PC shutdown accidently or powercut [19:25] Should be no problem with Ubunto? [19:25] Ice_Strike: It is no problem with Ubunt_u_ [19:25] i virtualbox you install steam for windows.....only in a tiny box....but that's all i need..... [19:26] bekks not even panic error issue ? :P [19:26] can someone please help tell me why I can see a 2nd hard drive but cant mount it http://pastebin.com/NcuJvzHP [19:26] Ice_Strike: Whatever that may be.

[19:28] ilovett: In Windows, there is a partition on that drive. [19:29] I got it working by disabling networking before selecting my location. That appears to have been making it hang. [19:29] MoL0ToV: I dont get what you are actually asking, I am sorry. [19:29] bekks: do I have to reformat in linux? or can I just read / create the windows partition [19:29] DJones If I install Ubuntu - what do I need to install and config for security? [19:30] Do you all use Linux as root login? [19:30] ilovett: No. You have to mount the partition not the entire drive. [19:30] Ice_Strike: Nobody does that. [19:30] ilovett: Hopefully noone have an open root login anymore. [19:30] theadmin Serious? [19:30] Ice_Strike: Ubuntu doesn't use root as default [19:30] Ah? [19:30] Ice_Strike: Yes, nobody uses a root account unless it's an admin task. [19:30] will ubuntu 12.04.3 have kernel from 13.04? [19:30] !root | Ice_Strike [19:30] Ice_Strike: Do not try to guess the root password, that is impossible. Instead, realise the truth... there is no root password. Then you will see that it is 'sudo' that grants you access and not the root password. Look at https://help.ubuntu.com/community/RootSudo [19:30] bekks: there is no dropdown available in pysdm for sdb [19:31] ilovett: Whatever psydm might be.

Anyone ever had this problem? [19:42] Delux, I would just disconnect the other drives until after the OS installs. Btw, why couldnt it write to /dev/sda? sounds like thats lucky for you that it couldnt [19:43] compdoc - i dont have physical access to this box and it couldnt write to sda because it's not partitioned [19:44] hi, anyone know a ubuntu alternative to itunes for updating ios-devices?

Do you remember playing playstation or xbox? You put the disc in and powered on, [19:45] and then you were right in the game. You didn't need to click a shortcut or navigate any folders or anything.

[19:46] I'm thinking I might just be able to create my own Desktop/GUI. Maybe I don't need to make a new "base" linux? [19:46] Checkpoint: probably better asked in ##linux [19:46] Checkpoint: Sounds like something for ##hardware and ##linux rather than an Ubuntu support question [19:46] Xubuntu, theadmin?

Does anyone know such command? === XenGi_ is now known as XenGi [20:19] betz1: vcp [20:19] gueriLLaPunK: fair enough, I'd think that rtorrent was built with all possible options when it was packaged, but maybe not [20:19] checking it out [20:19] gueriLLaPunK: can you maybe provide a bit more context than that one line regarding your build error? [20:19] gueriLLaPunK: maybe pastebin the entire make log? [20:19] lol i got it luckily [20:19] betz1: Sorry, meant gcp, seems it's been renamed or something.

[20:23] ah [20:23] It's only letting me select "Buy" instead of "install"... is that correct? [20:23] gueriLLaPunK: is there any further information in the config.log? there should be some compiler output associated with trying to compile and run that test, it would've gotten logged to config.log but not to stdout. [20:23] MK`: Yeah, it costs $0.00 though so you will not be charged, but you will need an USSO account. [20:24] alright [20:24] I'm JUTAS. I'm from a LIVE CD.

Thats where byobu/screen come in :) [20:32] Or tmux. [20:32] Igneous, i found an updated guide. im trying that [20:33] it makes use of curl and svn [20:33] gueriLLaPunK: yeah I think the problem is actually more that --with-xmlrpc-c isn't a config option [20:33] so it's looking for an ac test to enable that, and it's not there [20:33] Trying to install Ubuntu Server on /dev/sdc1 but when it comes to selecting where to install the GRUB boot loader it fails to install.

I have the laptop: HP Pavilon b005ea, which comes with Windows 8 (UEFI added, of course). I want to get rid of W8 and install just ubuntu. The PC has a 32G SSD (sdb) + 512G HD (sda). I tried several times to install / in the 32G but after BIOS I get the message not operative system found (in UEFI and in normal BIOS). I've removed all the fake raids too. Any clue? === iorweth is now known as iorweth_away === Guest43026 is now known as eternalW8hate [20:44] I've tried boot repair too, but not luck at all [20:44] <|Slacker|> eternalW8hate, have you wiped all the partitions?

[20:46] so I installed ubuntu and managed to mess things up so that I don't have the quick launch bar on the left side, nor do I have the menu bar on the top... pretty good for 5 minutes of use eh? [20:46] |Slacker|: yes. I've removed them on the installation process, and then create the news that I need: / in sdb and /home + swap in sda. I've tried with this bootgrub kind of partition too, but didn't work either :( [20:46] <|Slacker|> aartist, dunno, dude...I ain't an advanced user [20:46] anyone can give me glxgear result via optirun ? [20:46] <|Slacker|> eternalW8hate, you have to create a 1MB partition with Bios_grub flag, otherwise it will never boot [20:47] <|Slacker|> uefi systems require this [20:47] Slacker.... Rebooted... still nothing. Cd's recognized still. I noticed that when i booted, the "boot from cd" with DVD disc in drive didn't even check the disk... maybe my dvd drive is damaged? [20:47] <|Slacker|> by the way...I needed to creat a 2MB partition, for some reason 1MB didn't work for me [20:47] Hey guys! Is there any easy way to remove two language sections from a PDF file?

Anyone have any opinions on 12.04.2 LTS? The update manager said it's available. [20:49] |Slacker|: sorry :D I read about that flag/tag, but I just thought that was this kind of partition and this is all [20:49] <|Slacker|> eternalW8hate, you need to have an unformatted partition of at least 1MB reserved for the BIOS [20:49] AH, Now it said I am having a problem with depmod [20:49] |Slacker|: I am on live system now, I will try to do it and let you know [20:49] <|Slacker|> when you create it, you go in advanced and select BIOS whatever I forgot the name [20:49] Hey guys!

But before that. Should I change my BIOS back? use uefi or legacy mode? [20:51] <|Slacker|> I couldn't do it with UEFI, I had to disable it [20:51] The manuals on internet recommend keeping uefi, but it didn't really wokr [20:51] ok |Slacker| then, summarizing: disable UEFI + enable legacy + add boot partition of 10M?

However, I attempted to install a program that was 10GB and it told me I did not have necessary space. Looking under disk usage, it said I only have a 3GB partition. What can I do to expand it?

So the new LibreOffice probably won't hit Ubuntu's repos until 13.04 then. [21:03] sajan: im not sure what the route is for 12.04. but i think 13.04 will be the one to go [21:03] i think the root cause, is when i log in, the xscreensaver is not starting... should i do a rc.local, but that wont help, i get the error above when i try manually, this its a root setting somewhere. i just want my screensaver to work when i lock it or auto does so...

[21:23] good grief [21:23] I'm having issues getting ident to work for both ipv6 and ipv4 anyone have any pointers? i'm using oidentd [21:24] ubuntus goal has always been end user simplicty, that may why it seems like they take out customizations [21:24] someone kick mark shuttleworth already, put gnome back the way it should be, and stop controling us.. sheshh [21:24] is that *the* linus? [21:24] but in reality it is still all open source so you can always change anything you want [21:24] hello [21:24] yharrow: No. [21:24] oh ok :P [21:24] im linus from fargo not sweden [21:25] ah ok [21:25] :D [21:25] if i was the linus, there is no way id be deffending unity [21:25] hehe [21:25] Linus made the kernel, not ubuntu [21:25] bekks: ubuntu 12.10 + rapoo h3050. in windows i have some troubles too with this headphones(some extended driver option, after remowing that all become work. is anyway to do the same in ubuntu?) [21:25] i believe that ubuntu replaces the freedom of technical customization with the freedom of user interface customization [21:26] go8765: Windows problems are irrelevant in here. Please describe your problem without using "they do not work". [21:26] who are you? [21:26] Linus has lost his mind [21:26] no [21:26] Yharrow: ubuntu doesn't replace anything. You can remove and customize whatever you want === acidflash_ is now known as acidflash [21:27] senjai, ubuntu offers less technical avenues of customization, aka less technical tools as far as i know [21:27] time is appening [21:27] Why do you think mr torvalds would be a fan of unity? because i doubt it, if i had to guess id say he uses a version of debian but it might be something more obscure [21:27] Yharrow: it doesn't. I'm afraid to say your ignorant [21:27] yharrow: It offers more than windows. [21:28] no one is comparing anything to windows, i believe this discussion is about linux distrobutins or more specifically desktop enviroments [21:28] Senjai, don't be afraid to say anything. And having not made an actual application by application copmarison, I can neither confirm my ignorance nor support my position [21:28] Linus this discussion is nothing of the sort [21:28] !ot [21:28] #ubuntu is the Ubuntu support channel, for all Ubuntu-related support questions. Please use #ubuntu-offtopic for other topics (though our !guidelines apply there too). Thanks! [21:29] Senjai, I was not implying that ubuntu is inferior in any way. Only that there are *some* distributions which cater to a more technical crowd [21:29] Is there any decent way to map an Ubuntu package that is coming from the security repo *back* to the Ubuntu USN without having to do a lot of manual searching? [21:29] lets stick to technical support in this channel. we have #ubuntu-discuss or #ubuntu-offtopic for the other topics, thank you guys [21:30] bekks, I completely agree with you. Again I am not attacking ubuntu in any ay [21:30] Yharrow: define a tool? Because afaik all Linux/gnu distros come with gnuutils and gnu tools necessary for manipulating th system. Just because ubuntu looks pretty doesn't mean it's different [21:30] way* [21:30] bekks: I think that this is plug and play device, so I think that it dont need any options to use it. But I dont now what to describe more. I put wired-dongle and dont hear any sound in ubuntu. So I think mb deliting some extended options of this device(like in windows I do) help to fix my sound trouble, but I dont know how do this in ubuntu. [21:31] yharrow that's not true. you can customize just as much iin ubuntu [21:31] Whats a good secure FTP ? [21:31] yharrow: You can install additional things on Ubuntu and customize it. It's newbie-friendly from the start, but can be customized to fit your needs. A Debian packaging system with an emphasis on newer packages is the reason I stick to it myself. [21:31] @go8765 do you have pulse audio volume control installed? [21:31] Puffs secure FTP is secure ftp [21:31] linus: yes [21:32] does you hardware show up as an option in there? [21:32] if you have a usb dongle that is plug in play you will see it there [21:33] I am well aware that a sophisticated packaging system with access to comprehensive repositories allows for the same level of customizations as any other system with access to those same or similar tools [21:33] yes. i see it [21:33] linuus 3 or 4 devices [21:33] yharrow: That said this channel isn't all Ubuntu users; some people help here while using non-Ubuntu distributions. [21:33] Yharrow: that sentence is 100% rhetoric and contributed nothing to your standpoint [21:33] hello, i'm having a bit of an issue with e2fsck. is this the right place to find help for it? [21:34] Ubuntu_User: Definitely a good place to start. Give your details and see what this channel can do for you. [21:34] do the headphones plug into the dongle or do they use RF or bluetooth? [21:34] Ubuntu_User: Yes. === XenGi is now known as XenGi_ [21:35] well, it's no so much of an error as the percentage complete isnt going up. the time elapsed is updating, and the error count is going up, but it stays at 1.23% done. [21:35] Ubuntu_User: It can take quite a long time. I've seen fsck running for more than 24 hours. [21:35] cant i change my root passwd by booting into recovery mode and running passwd? seems im getting an authentication token manipulation error [21:36] !root | MACscr [21:36] MACscr: Do not try to guess the root password, that is impossible. Instead, realise the truth... there is no root password. Then you will see that it is 'sudo' that grants you access and not the root password. Look at https://help.ubuntu.com/community/RootSudo [21:36] linus: I think that plug and play http://rapoo.com/showdetails.aspx?P_No=H3050 [21:36] MACscr: Are you able to use sudo from another user? [21:36] I as simply defending against insinuations that all distributions are more or less the same as long as they have a good packaging system included. Which to an extent, is not entirely false. Since, if you isntall the same packages on all systems they will all more or less be the same. [21:36] hmm. ok. i'll wait a bit more. its a 320gb drive, so it might take a while. [21:36] thank you. [21:36] ah, nvm. Didnt realize recovery mode was read only [21:36] i just need to remount things i guess [21:37] yharrow: please take it to the channels mentioned above and stick to technical issues in here. thanks [21:37] Yharrow: all distributions come with the same [21:37] it has been running for over an hour, though... [21:37] MACscr: you shouldn't have a root password though [21:37] MACscr: Recovery mode for Ubuntu has a mode to write to disk too. [21:37] k1l alright thanks [21:37] Ubuntu_User: There are 23h left ;) [21:37] 1 hour is not 1.23 percent of 24 hours xD [21:38] Yharrow tools, I can do anything in my archlinux vm which is command line only, in ubuntu. More to the point I can take a barb es system and install a package manager, just like how I can remove u untus understand? [21:38] you would have had a much easier time if youd have bought a bluetooth dongle and bluetooth stereo headphones, but if you can see a device in pulseaudio volume control when the dongle is pluged in you should be able to get them to work [21:38] oh, my, it just changed to 1.24. i guess ill be here a while. [21:38] at least i know its not stuck. thanks! [21:38] Senjai: same for you. #ubuntu-offtopic and/or #ubuntu-discuss exists [21:38] Bare bones** sorry typing on a phone [21:39] gry: mount -rw -o remount / got me where where i needed to be [21:39] Cool. [21:39] MACscr: You should fix the reason for having it mounted read-only first. [21:40] I wanted to upgrade from 10.04 to 12.04 but upgrade failed, now I want to go from 10.04 to 11.04 but I can't get starting the install. [21:40] here are the problems: https://gist.github.com/DriesS/4968848 [21:40] what do I have to do?

[21:42] AxonetBE: thats a no go, too [21:42] AxonetBE: There is either 10.04 to 12.04 or 10.04 to 10.10 - thats all. === xiambax_ is now known as xiambax [21:42] now select hardware, then select your headphone dongle, then test speakers [21:43] AxonetBE: you can only do a 10.04 to 12.04 upgrade or you make a upgrade from 10.04 to 10.10 to 11.04 to 11.10. [21:43] bekks: Ok tried from 10.04 to 12.04 but was not working. [21:44] AxonetBE: "was not working" - which error messages did you get? [21:45] how can I see my arp table? [21:45] hi guys i'm having a problem setting up tightvnc. It starts up fine and kde starts loading and just before it finishes it completely crashes with no output in the .log at all [21:46] has anybody else here setup tightvnc before ?

[21:48] bekks: it is in dutch but error messages will be the same https://gist.github.com/DriesS/4968882 [21:49] bekks: there is mentioned that there was critical error and that the update was finished but not succesful [21:49] AxonetBE: Whats the output of "lsb_release -a" now? [21:49] AxonetBE: Put it in a pastebin please. === XenGi_ is now known as XenGi [21:49] Font directory '/usr/share/fonts/X11/75dpi/' not found - ignoring [21:49] Font directory '/usr/share/fonts/X11/100dpi/' not found - ignoring [21:49] those are the only two errors at all in the .log [21:50] anybody? [21:50] bekks: http://pastebin.com/HgLQMMTT [21:52] AxonetBE: did you install some ruby (or other stuff) that comes not from the official repos? [21:52] k1l: yes this is possible, it is already year ago that I did something on this server. [21:53] AxonetBE: your ruby packages seem to be a mess. [21:53] k1l: and how can I solve this? [21:53] the ri1.8 package wants a newer package than its in the official repos === root is now known as Guest67044 [21:54] can I easily remove this and will solve it the problem? [21:56] k1l: because when I want to remove this packages I got this http://pastebin.com/kwjidcKA [21:56] c4nuck, are you installing the tightvncclient or the server ? [21:57] AxonetBE: im not sure if removing that package will break some other things of your setup. but that is what i would try. make sure the system got a backup === Guest35062 is now known as Elli0tt [21:57] k1l: but it is not possible, see the pastebin [21:58] AxonetBE: try a apt-get -f install [21:59] How to check from which package is /usr/bin/somefile ? === XenGi is now known as XenGi_ [22:01] I'm looking to buy a top of the line laptop (someone else is paying) that runs 12.10 - what manufacturers have the best support and functionality with ubuntu? [22:02] the Dell xps13 developer laptop looks great, but it's a 13in screen, and a not-so-functional video card [22:02] Kireji, system 76 [22:02] i would build my own [22:02] Guest67044: a laptop? [22:02] yep [22:03] BluesKaj: googling [22:03] !rootirc | Guest67044 [22:03] Guest67044: It's not technically our business, but we'd like to tell you that IRC'ing as root is a Very Bad Idea (tm). After all, doing anything as root when root is not needed is bad, and especially bad with software that connects to the Internet. [22:04] buy a laptop case to be able to host a mitx card and a i3 or i5 quadcore [22:04] BluesKaj: have you used a system 76 laptop? what's your experince? [22:04] vifanq, dpkg -S /usr/bin/somefile [22:04] gl hf ;) [22:05] how do you get more info out of upstart when a job fails to start? [22:05] does system 76 optain the chasis from a OEM and if so who? [22:05] obtain [22:05] Kireji, no i haven't , but I've seen good reports ...they aren't available everywhere afaik [22:05] k1l: that fails also http://pastebin.com/At47KTge [22:06] chisle, Kireji https://www.system76.com/laptops [22:07] Hello [22:07] AxonetBE: erm, what command caused that? and yould you pastbinit your "/etc/apt/sources.list"? [22:07] I want to put ubuntu on my mac can I? [22:08] nobody here is able to help me with my tightvnc problem ? [22:08] !mac | passion [22:08] passion: For help on installing and using Ubuntu on a mac, see: https://wiki.ubuntu.com/MactelSupportTeam/CommunityHelpPages [22:08] passion, yes [22:08] BluesKaj: I am considering a System 76 purchase within a month and have browsed their site. However I was jsut wondering if they simply confugured and rebadged another manufacturers machine. [22:09] passion, osx is modeled after linux [22:09] WeThePeople: Thats nonsense. [22:09] bekks, iirc [22:09] WeThePeople: OSX is a UNIX derivate, while Linux isnt. [22:09] k1l: http://pastebin.com/fmiUfT8V and the command that was causing this was apt-get -f install [22:09] WeThePeople: You remember something pretty wrong. [22:09] bekks, ok, you done correcting me?? [22:10] AxonetBE: thats the problem. you got debian repos in your sources.list [22:10] WeThePeople: We'll see. :) [22:10] *are you done correcting me [22:10] lulzz [22:10] you forgot the period [22:10] Ha [22:11] AxonetBE: remove them. make the precise to lucid and try the "apt-get update &&apt-get dist-upgrade" after that do the "do-release-upgrade" [22:11] k1l: I put them because in the previous error they said to add the lenny repos [22:12] So is there even an advantage of having a ubuntu on OSX (both being unix derivitave) [22:12] since Mac OS X is the more pretty and polished system? [22:12] passion: Linux is NOT an UNIX derivate. [22:12] is anyone savvy around? i need some real help over an interrupted upgrade's aftermath. look at my pastebin please, anybody, i have no idea what to do from here... http://pastebin.ubuntu.com/1666244/ [22:12] passion: It never was, it never will be. [22:12] Oh [22:13] You can put a lot of the same linux program on mac though unlike Windows [22:13] passion: its your choice which OS you want to use on your hardware. if you want ubuntu try to install it [22:13] bekks: it's somewhat silly to say that to someone who knows it's true, but so very necessary a distinction to point out to those who see the two as the same ;) [22:13] passion: do you ever write your own programs? [22:14] nydel: I said it to someone who didnt know it. [22:14] I guess that would be the downside is that OSX is more costly.. but you can install most Linux apps (i think through macports)??? [22:14] I am planning untu [22:14] passion: and for macOS support see their support :) [22:14] My whole goal is to write my own programs [22:14] yes [22:15] bekks: i know, i meant to be agreeable & playful..i meant 'you are right & i know just what you mean' but tried to say it in a funny way. not very on today, apologies [22:15] I did notice that linux out of the box seemed to be better for app development [22:15] does anyone have personal experience with system76 laptops? [22:16] where do i save this cron script and what do i name it? ubuntu 12.04 [22:16] http://forums.rutorrent.org/index.php?topic=1442.0 [22:16] passion: do you simply enjoy writing, or do you have an end in mind, a program you want to make then stop, that is [22:16] reliability, construciton quality, ubuntu feature support, hardware compatibility? [22:16] I just don't see me running it virtualized... it will squeeze up all my memory. I would use linux prob the main CPU if I could somehow run it aside my Mac/Win setup [22:17] I want to learn more html 5 / css and then maybe python. I want to create web and mobile apps. I want ot build my own niche social network. [22:17] passion: for what do you require an operating system other than ubuntu? if anything/s in particular? [22:17] passion: Install vbox and just dont use all your memory by simply not assigning ALL RAM to the vm. [22:17] Kireji: I'm interested in System 76 also, more specifically thoer battery life [22:17] I mean finish learning html5/CSS then master javascript and add a serverside lanauage. [22:18] passion: throw out javascript and learn Perl first [22:18] I have VMware fusion would that be better? I was under the impression virtualbox was dated [22:18] passion: i dont see a technical ubuntu issue in your programming career :) [22:18] bekks: could you look at my pastebin & see if you have any ideas for me? i am desperate & i bet you know a lot more than i. [22:18] perl for web / mobile apps? [22:18] I don't know much about perl [22:19] chisle, Kireji , here's a review , and it appears these pcs and laptops are built by an OEM to system 76 specs , not dell oe some such with ubuntu installed by a techie.

[22:23] Im confused too as all the opensource editors for Linux are for Mac too- But I kind of want to force myself to learn linux because if I get a job doing computer that one more marketable skills I think? [22:23] just virtualbox has crashed [22:23] chisle, no idea , never owned a sony ...did some research but couldn't find much the actual manufacturer [22:23] When I start ubuntu all I get is a black or purple screen, any ideas? It worked just fine until I restarted it after instalation [22:23] hey how do i install ubuntu on a macbook pro4,1 when i don't have a dvd drive? i have an external dvd drive, i also have a flash drive, i downloaded the mini.iso but when i plug it in refit kicks back an error about EFI something and that macs don't usually support booting from flash drives [22:24] bekks: yessir i did. that's about the time i get a hang on the update-initramfs command [22:24] Joel__: install the driver for your video card? [22:24] ubuntu is there, it will work, but you have to change the boot sequence in the vm [22:24] k1l: I think I did that. I am not entirely sure. Tried some lines to install fglxr or something like that. No luck. [22:24] passion: as you learn to program, you will appreciate open source more and more, and if you get good, you will find closed-source to be a ridiculous concept. at that point you will either stay with linux or switch to linux.

[22:36] if it's nv4* (GeForce 6xxx, 7xxx) or earlier you REALLY REALLY should be using nouveau [22:38] I followed this tutorial https://help.ubuntu.com/community/SnortIDS to but Snort is not capturing any port scans [22:39] does Linux world still have as bad problems with Nvidia hardware, as it did at the time Torvalds gave a finger to them?

[22:42] pushpop, use dd [22:42] "The Cave" is what i'm awaiting... Will be for Linux [22:42] googling dd [22:42] Ron Gilbert game [22:42] pushpop, if the drive has failed / is failing, use ddrescue [22:42] the GNU version [22:42] pushpop, cat is faster than dd [22:43] escott, cat != dd [22:43] bekks: any idea what could be causing it to stick there, assuming i'm not just impatient? [22:43] I wouldn't trust cat replicating my hdd [22:44] here is the catch we are a windows house. We have researchers who use ubuntu and they are up to no good. Our security dept needs to see what is in the hd of the ubuntu box. So we'll have no account on the box but need to see the data [22:44] nydel: You would have to check the logs. [22:44] Steam or other gaming issues, i think will be much bettered on Ubuntu 13.04... (?) [22:44] I'm in a bit of a prediciment, my Windows PC crashed, and I booted into Ubuntu via a flash drive in an attempt to back up some of the data on my HDD, problem is, it won't mount my HDD for me to open it.... any way to mount it? [22:44] techkid6, you need a windows rescue disk [22:44] pushpop, do take a look at the SMART data of the drives first. If the source drive has issues, bad sectors, etc, use ddrescue [22:45] techkid6, any error message? [22:45] Maybe you just need to install the ntfs package [22:45] ldiamond: live environment... [22:46] techkid... try Very Small Linux to save your data via usb ? [22:46] Adding read ACL for UID 999 to 'media/ubuntu' failed: Operation not supported [22:46] techkid6: I would take the HDD out and plug it into a working system. Even if it's linux, because then you can install ntfs-3g [22:46] ldiamond - did I mention I dont have a account on the box I need to create a copy of? [22:46] thanks for all the help bekks, i appreciate it. [22:46] pushpop, what do you mean? [22:47] pushpop, doesn't make a difference as you can't image an active disk [22:47] pushpop, dd can take your drive and make a perfect bit copy of it [22:47] Could I put it in another laptop? I am terrible with Hard Ware [22:47] pushpop: you could boot from a live USB and mount the partitions there, but if they're trying to hide something and they're smart they'll be using encrypted /home... in which case you'll have to compel them to give up their passwords [22:47] and as escott said, the drive should not be mounted [22:47] or at least in READ ONLY [22:47] roothorick they aren't that smart [22:47] otherwise you'll have data that doesn't make sense [22:48] hola [22:48] pushpop: boot ubuntu from live USB, mount the HDD, poke around [22:48] I got a message saying "cannot send to channel: #ubuntu" [22:48] pushpop, what is your goal anyways? [22:48] how did you receive that message? [22:48] pushpop, not you could, but you MUST boot from a live USB and NOT mount the partitions to make a low level copy [22:48] ldiamond I just need the data on the drives [22:49] hello [22:49] the people using this machine are up to no good [22:49] security dept needs the data on the hd [22:49] the data is on the hdd. [22:49] what's the problem. [22:49] yep haha [22:49] pushpop: fyi encrypted /home is VERY easy on ubuntu... just check a box during user account creation... so there's a decent chance they're using it [22:49] I /am/ booting from a live USB, I merely tried copying my workspace, downloads, and .minecraft folders to a flashdrive from my HDD [22:49] give them the hard drive. [22:49] anyway, I've got an issue with ubuntu and I am now going to proceed to describe the problem. First up, some background: I'm still a novice with linux and ubuntu, I m no longer a complete beginner but I'm still awkward with a command line and I generally don't get the linux way. [22:50] roothorick I don't think they're using a recent version [22:50] of ubuntu [22:50] aha [22:50] 12.10 [22:50] so here's the problem: I installed Ubuntu 12.10 64 bit desktop yesterday, and the primary reason is so that I can try out the steam for linux. One problem, I can't figure out how to get my graphics card working correctly.\ [22:50] my problem is: The driver from amd results in unity failing to load, and I do not want that to happen. [22:50] More information: My graphics card is an AMD Radeon HD 7970. The solutions I have seen are either for the hd 4000 and older (legacy) or max out at the 6000 series. [22:50] So that's it, any thoughts? [22:50] pushpop: well you're not gonna get anywhere trying to break into the running system. Boot from a live USB or take the hard drive out and stuff it in an enclosure. [22:52] You'll need to install proprietary driver [22:52] hi is there the equivalent of xampp on ubuntu? [22:52] ttyX: AMD has disowned the proprietary driver and are planning on dropping it if they haven't already... [22:52] I forgot to mention the problem?: I installed the proprietary driver, and unity fails to load [22:52] !xampp | jakey1 [22:52] jakey1: We do not support XAMPP installs here. Please use the LAMP stack that is in our repositories; see https://help.ubuntu.com/community/ApacheMySQLPHP for more information. [22:53] roothorick: AMD does not plan on dropping the proprietary driver. [22:53] ironbutt: they've said it before, they want to focus on providing documentation to the DRI project in the hopes they can eventually put an end to fglrx [22:53] k1l, Do they have the same qulities [22:53] funtions [22:54] That'd be good but it'll take time [22:54] ironbutt: they're a long way off from that goal though [22:54] roothorick: I agree, but I can't find any information stating that the open source driver is even compatible with my graphics card. [22:54] jakey1: yes [22:54] when I open up my system details, I get Driver Unknown Exerpeicen Standard [22:55] and that was terrible typo [22:55] ironbutt: they have a partially working driver for S.Islands but it's very incomplete [22:56] ironbutt: looks like it'll work just fine as long as you don't do anything 3D [22:56] hi. how should i do to chat in a chat in irc [22:56] well that kinda defeats the purpose, as I plan on using ubuntu for games (on steam) and blender [22:56] ironbutt: if you want 3D well... fglrx. Don't remember the package name offhand. [22:56] I have the 13.2 beta driver currently downloaded [22:57] but the package I think is called fglrx or fglrx-updates depending on what I want [22:57] ironbutt: https://help.ubuntu.com/community/BinaryDriverHowto/ATI [22:57] The proble is it's not compatible with something and when I install it, unity breaks, so I get no interface. [22:57] I have to go control, alt, f1, log into that command prompt and uninstall fglrx and reboot [22:57] ironbutt: I got rid of my 4850 back when I was still a gentoohead so I'm not gonna be a whole lot of use, all my systems are GeForce something-or-other now [22:58] Hello, i try to build a kernel package on a 64bit x86 ubuntu for a 32bit ubuntu x86. the kernel build system allows this by simply adding ARCH=i386 as make option. but how to tell debian/rules to cross-compile? [22:58] Who needs GUI CLI ftw [22:58] I'm NOT going to go onto a rant about the graphics card situation, that could take days, or weeks. [22:58] ttyX: GUI tends to blow up. You use CLI to fix it. [22:59] ttyX: also CLI is a LOT faster in experienced hands when doing things that can be batched or otherwise automated [22:59] anyway, I've given up with ubuntu in the past, but this time I'm going to stick with it for at least a month and try and get something out of it. Which means I'm going to be a pain to you guys in the irc [22:59] roothorick, linux has a GUI? [23:00] RiXtEr: Sure. Various. [23:00] RiXtEr: Linux itself no. Ubuntu certainly does. Multiple, even. Unity, GNOME, KDE, LXDE, XFCE... take your pick. [23:00] bekks, I was joking ;) [23:00] this conversation is pointless [23:00] I like my GNOME [23:00] I'm a born-again GNOME loyalist personally [23:00] lol [23:00] gnome-shell blew my socks off and I haven't looked back since [23:00] +1 gnome +1 ubuntu gnome remix xD [23:00] but I'm still on ubuntu because fedora is really shaky on desktop hardware [23:01] Does anyone know if there's a command line equivalent to the Software Sources driver selection for nvidia proprietary drivers in 12.10? I know the traditional thing to do is just to install the nvidia-current package, but it seems like the Software Sources driver selection does something a little different too to get the driver selected without editing xorg.conf? [23:01] troyready, ubuntu 12.10? [23:01] I'll come back in 10 minutes and repeat my problem. [23:01] ironbutt: no seriously, did you look at that guide I linked? [23:01] CanihoJR: yeah (now xubuntu specifically, but i think it's the same in this case) [23:02] roothorick: I've followed that guide, it doesn't mention how to fix the problem of unity blowing up [23:02] spent a good 6 or 7 hours yesterday [23:02] troyready, now software driver seleccion as on config system-> software source-> hardware addittional [23:02] ironbutt: did you boot into gnome classic and run glxinfo, to see if there's a driver issue? [23:02] ironbutt: or unity2d or whatever [23:03] CanihoJR: thanks -- do you know if there's a command line way of doing that? I'm trying to script it up in Chef [23:03] ironbutt: IIRC the driver will still run if there's a module issue but functionality is seriously gimped i.e. no 3D [23:03] I can run glxinfo in unity3d or whatever [23:03] troyready, i try some days but i cant make same as this :/ soz :( [23:03] only with gui [23:04] roothorick: I need 3D otherwise I may as well go back to windows [23:05] CanihoJR: appreciate your time; I haven't been able to find anything either, but was hoping there was something obvious I missed [23:05] Where i have to go to get help in setting up a SSL Certificate for my Apache2 on Ubuntu? [23:06] Problem with recent update to libqtmultimedia5-dev in Raring. I tried to update it and get a broken dependancy problem. dpkg returns an error code. so I have to use dpkg to remove ubuntu-sdk and the library package. anyone else have this happen? [23:06] ironbutt: if regular unity is booting fine there isn't a 3D problem. what exactly is it doing? [23:06] before I answer that question, how can I find out if the open source driver is installed and working? [23:07] !+1 | love [23:07] any idea? [23:07] !raring | love [23:07] love: Ubuntu 13.04 (Raring Ringtail) will be the 18th release of Ubuntu, Discussion and support until final release in #ubuntu+1 [23:07] ironbutt: glxinfo will say something about Mesa/Gallium [23:07] I asked there... just thought I'd ask here too since no one has said anything... thanks [23:08] ironbutt: if the fglrx driver is active glxinfo will show AMD/ATI as the vendor [23:08] is there a common maximum/ceiling on your bandwidth on a network that is reached momentarily when a program sends a request or something ? [23:08] k1l: i also tried the ubuntu-phone one I'll just wait [23:08] love: since its still in developing status stick to the +1 channel please. [23:08] k1l: you got it! [23:08] datsmoida: not necessarily but the physical layer has a lot of leeway to do that kind of thing [23:09] datsmoida: residential broadband modems tend to do exactly that as part of bandwidth allocation enforcement [23:09] roothorick: here's a pastebin of my glxinfo: http://pastebin.com/2VqDwXjf I'll try to make sense of it but if I could, I wouldn't be here :P === XenGi_ is now known as XenGi [23:10] ironbutt: you're running in a VM! [23:10] No, I am not [23:10] ironbutt: then why is llvmpipe loaded? [23:10] I have no idea [23:11] this time I can say that and really mean it [23:12] can someone help me setting up ssl on my ubuntu apache2? [23:13] roothorick: I've been trying to troubleshoot a fglrx issue for a few hours now and my glxinfo also shows llvmpipe loading although I am not running a vm. [23:14] anyway as far as I can tell, the opensource driver is pretty crummy for anyone running HD 7000 series of graphics card, that includes me. So my only real option is for the proprietary driver, only problem: it doesn't work with a simple install... the whole unity blowing up thing... === mynick13_ is now known as mynick13 [23:15] I have had a chef recipe working for some time, but it is not receiving a 404 for this URL: http://security.ubuntu.com/ubuntu/pool/main/p/postgresql-9.1/postgresql-9.1_9.1.5-0ubuntu12.04_amd64.deb [23:15] ironbutt: there's something fussed with the driver... it may not even be running. [23:15] ironbutt: does lsmod | grep fglrx show anything? [23:15] fglrx is not installed by the way [23:15] does anyone have a clue why that might be happening? I'm a super-novice sysadmin, but this *used* to work [23:16] I had to uninstall it to get unity up and running again [23:16] now receiving* [23:16] ironbutt: well that's your fisrt problem :P [23:16] first [23:16] ironbutt: reinstall fglrx, go into unity2D to troubleshoot [23:16] My problem is, I can't install the fglrx driver, as it kills my interface, or my interface kills itself [23:16] redblacktree: sudo apt-get update [23:17] ironbutt: do you get to the login screen? [23:17] I've since changed it, but to answer your question: yes. the login screen renders correctly with fglrx installed. [23:17] after logging in, all I get is a mouse cursor and a background. [23:17] ironbutt: then login using unity2d instead of unity. [23:18] I have it set now to auto log in [23:18] as I completely broke my install yesterday trying to fix this so yeah... [23:18] (I broke my main partition which had encryption on it so I couldn't use gparted to check it and... bad stuff happened) [23:18] ironbutt: what card do you have/ [23:18] my terminal is not wraping anymore [23:18] AMD HD 7000 series, do you need to know the specific model? [23:19] How do you make the terminal wrap text [23:19] oh and roothorick: while I won't say this much, I do appreciate your help. [23:20] I'm working on the same issue - with an HD7640. [23:20] yeah, I think the problem is that the open source driver doesn't support anything abovethe HD 6000 series [23:20] after you install fglrx, if you can't get into unity, use the menu to boot into unity2d instead [23:20] and do troubleshooting there [23:20] Have you tried the beta fglrx? I have gotten that closer to working than anything else. [23:20] and the fglrx driver from amd doesn't like the current thing with ubuntu [23:21] ironbutt: you haven't even verified you had it installed correctly! [23:21] I have, I got a big "FOR TESTING PURPOSES ONLY" watermark down the bottom, but that was the only change from the non beta [23:21] Hello everyone. Would anyone with experience in openvswitch be willing to help me troubleshoot why after following a guide, this guide http://blog.scottlowe.org/2012/08/17/installing-kvm-and-open-vswitch-on-ubuntu/ that I might not have network connectivity the instant I created the bridge? [23:21] ironbutt: let me know when you're sitting in unity2d with fglrx installed [23:22] fine, I'll be abck in an hour. How do I get into unity2D when I don't have a log in screen? [23:22] ironbutt: disable autologin? [23:22] simple asnwer is I can set up to get a log in screen but arawgawgagwag... oh, here's a question [23:22] how do i check if unity2d is available before I do that [23:22] ironbutt: it should already be installed [23:22] ironbutt: worst case you can VT-switch and install it from CLI [23:23] Hi guys, I need a little help here... [23:23] alright I' [23:23] ll be back [23:23] how to use [23:23] lsof -i [23:24] So I'm using windows 8 and I tried to install ubuntu on it. I got to the boot screen and it asked if I wanted to use windows 8 or ubuntu [23:24] Of course I picked ubuntu and then it says I'm missing wubildr.mbr [23:24] How can I fix this? [23:24] hi [23:24] !patience [23:24] 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/ [23:25] i want to ask if it is good to use gnome shell with ubuntu 12.10 [23:25] alright I'm back: first problem: there was zero option anywhere to change which interface I was using... my guess is unity2d isn't installed. [23:25] what's the command I need to install that? [23:25] larst, I use it. Works good for me. [23:25] larst: how should that be good or not good? [23:26] ironbutt: I haven't used standard ubuntu since 12.04 was first released but I distinctly remember a gear to click on while entering password [23:26] k1l, I mean because of conflits with Unity [23:26] sampson623: wubi is hard to support. i would recommmend to to a real install instead of wubi (and dont know how to fix wubi) [23:26] a gear you say [23:26] be right back [23:26] logavanc, will you continue to do it wikth 13.04? [23:26] larst: the gnome-shell from the ubuntu repos doesnt have conflicts [23:26] with [23:26] k1l: can you supply me with a link to a real install? [23:26] !install | sampson623 [23:26] sampson623: Ubuntu can be installed in lots of ways. Please see https://help.ubuntu.com/community/Installation for documentation. Problems during install? See https://wiki.ubuntu.com/CommonProblemsInstall - Don't want to use a CD? See http://tinyurl.com/3exghs - See also !automate [23:27] larst: if you're installing a fresh system I recommend using the GNOME remix version [23:27] k1l, I use this PPA https://launchpad.net/~gnome3-team/+archive/gnome3 [23:27] How to check which java version i have installed? [23:27] larst: then ask the PPA maintainers for support [23:27] back again, nope, no gear. [23:27] larst, Kinda... I grab the Ubuntu Gnome Remix distro. [23:27] that is not officially from ubuntu [23:28] yes === ironbutt__ is now known as ironbutt [23:28] Hi... I'm trying to compile empathy from source without succcess. What I did: apt-get source empathy; apt-get buld-deps empathy; cd ; ./configure; make [23:28] I got Makefile:206: *** target pattern contains no `%'. Stop. [23:28] k1l, it's better to install gnome-shell on the original ubuntu than to use the remix yes? [23:28] inside po dir [23:28] there is a bug when running chrome under ubuntu 12.04. It asks for my password every time i run it! [23:28] larst: depends on what you want. [23:29] is this the right channel for my issue? I couldn't find empathy channel [23:30] larst: if you use a PPA or a unsupported spinoff we cant support it here since we dont know what they changed [23:30] roothorick - yeah for example i noticed that in iftop running the same program on my pc connected to broadband vs on a vps my pc seems to spike up to over 2.5Mb but my VPS never does [23:30] the Makefile in case anyone is wondering... http://pastebin.com/7mxSdQGD [23:30] it only spikes up to like 1.3MB [23:30] *Mb [23:30] there is a bug when running chrome under ubuntu 12.04. It asks for my password every time i run it! [23:31] "Unlock login keyring" [23:31] agu10^: you have autologin to the desktop? [23:32] hello [23:32] hi! [23:32] Ok, I am back, there is zero gear icon on login. [23:32] k1l, yes [23:32] agu10^: that is the cause. [23:32] How to check which java version i have installed? [23:32] how do i disable it then? [23:33] KeyboardNotFound: java -version [23:33] chrome wants to login to google (or smth else) and needs the passwords from the keyring from that (which doesnt get opend when its autologin) [23:33] I would have thought it would have been java --version [23:33] it is one dash, not two [23:33] fotanus: Thank you [23:33] java don't like standards, except by its own === LaserShark is now known as LaserShark|dead [23:33] * ironbutt brains himself [23:33] np [23:34] anyone can point me out the right place to ask about empathy development? [23:34] Is there a program like netcat I can use to accept a TCP stream from multiple servers and dump it all into one file? [23:34] ironbutt: I have no idea, I guess they changed it AGAIN. Go back there and click on things until you get a session menu. [23:34] There is nothing else to click on, I have clicked on everything visible. [23:35] !alis | fotanus [23:35] fotanus: alis is a services bot that can help you find channels. Read "/msg alis help list" for help and ask any questions about it in #freenode. Example usage: /msg alis list #ubuntu* or /msg alis list *http* [23:35] I guess I'm just gonna sit here for a few minutes while I decide what to try next [23:35] ty [23:35] ironbutt: if you were running gnome remix I'd know exactly what to do and when, but unity is utterly toxic to me [23:36] if I install remix, would that install a tonne of new stuff or just the gnome interface? [23:36] I have installed the lamp, how do I get the php working with my lamp [23:36] I have a php file but how do I get it to run from my browser [23:36] p stands for php I think [23:36] ironbutt: I don't think you can convert a standard install to gnome remix... I think you have to start fresh [23:37] I know I can do something like sudo apt-get install ubuntu-studio and it then installs ubuntu studio [23:37] but unless I know the exact command, I can't exactly(geddit?) type it in. [23:38] roothorick: sure you can: https://wiki.ubuntu.com/UbuntuGNOME/ReleaseNotes/12.10#Upgrade [23:38] ironbutt: yeah but gnome remix has a different desktop setup, a different DM, changes a lot of stuff [23:38] what's a DM [23:38] dungeon master? [23:38] why change to gnome-remix ? [23:38] ironbutt: desktop manager. Basically login system. [23:38] k1l: because unity is garbage next to gnome-shell [23:39] roothorick: :/ [23:39] I don't think you can say that objectively [23:40] anyway, I'm pretty sure I'm getting VESA drivers bein used but well, actually I'm not sure [23:40] I think though [23:40] ironbutt: true. but in my subjective experience gnome-shell is better in every way [23:40] are you using gnome 2 or gnome 3? [23:41] ironbutt: it's gnome 3. if you want to try it see trism's link [23:41] I've already tried it [23:41] with fedora === z_ is now known as Guest72528 === Guest72528 is now known as machiavellious [23:41] I tried fedora for a few days. The underlying OS just couldn't figure out my hardware. [23:41] didn't really like it all that much. But hey, if we all liked the same interface THERE WOULD BE ONLY ONE [23:42] but you like *unity*? [23:42] well I'm not completely sure, at the moment it seems like it does what I want it to do [23:42] and it's fairly intuitive [23:42] but I can't be sure considering the fact that I haven't got any decent drivers for my graphics card [23:42] okay, maybe it's improved since 12.04, but that kinda blows my mind [23:43] ironbutt: just do sudo lspci -k and see if your video card is using a vesa driver. [23:43] and everything is laaaggyyy [23:43] MiningMarsh: will do [23:43] oh yeah forgot about lspci [23:43] ironbutt: its a root tool, forgot to put sudo >< === abhimank is now known as shriphani [23:43] MiningMarsh: lspci doesn't need root [23:43] roothorick: on my machine its in sbin. [23:43] WELL I DID IT AS ROOT ANYWAY [23:44] MiningMarsh: that's not standard 12.10... [23:44] ironbutt: under "VGA Controller" you should see "Kernel driver in use: fglrx" if you don't you've got problems [23:44] no need to be root [23:44] roothorick: I happen to be running gentoo, and just hopped on this cahnnel to see if I could randomly help someone. I am bored. [23:44] and no need for sudo with lspci [23:44] Kernel driver in use: radeon [23:45] I would guess that it's using open source driver then... or at least [23:45] ironbutt: the opensource driver is still loaded [23:45] or at elast trying to [23:46] ironbutt: 12.10, correct? [23:46] that's because unity doesn't load when fglrx is installed [23:46] yeah, 12.10 [23:46] although I heard they introduced the same issue into 12.04 [23:46] ironbutt: do you have the AMD driver installed right now? [23:47] ironbutt: as in did the apt-get stuff? [23:47] no, do you want me to install it? It's a bit of a waste of time. [23:47] I've installed it via creating packages from the downlaoded linux driver [23:47] ironbutt: the only way you're getting 3D is with the proprietary driver. If you're THAT averse to it, have fun with your paradox. [23:47] I've installed it via apt-get install fglrx [23:47] and I've tried apt-get install fglrx-updates [23:47] how do you uninstal a program in command line [23:47] I WANT THE PROPRIETARY DRIVER [23:48] my interface just doesn't load when it's installed, so I need to know how to muck around with my interface or the backend to get it working. [23:48] ironbutt: so modprobe -l | grep fglrx shows the module? [23:48] hi all, could someone please help me install Radeon drivers for HD 6770, I have installed Ubuntu 12.10 x64, plus Steam and can not not get CS Source to launch === Q_12 is now known as kalakouentin [23:48] jakey1: sudo apt-get remove (or sudo apt-get purge if you want to remove its configuration files as well). [23:48] no, because fglrx is not currently uninstalled, I had to uninstall it to get an interface [23:49] MiningMarsh, Ta [23:49] ironbutt: ffs install it again [23:49] by interface I mean graphical user interface [23:49] ironbutt: do you have a second system? === linuxthefish is now known as linuxthefish` [23:49] I do have a second system, you want me to irc in from that? [23:49] ironbutt: you probably should [23:49] alright. Lemme get fuglyx installed [23:49] I've tried selecting proprietary from Software sources / Additional Drivers but it didn't work [23:49] fuglyrex === vjn_ is now known as vjn [23:51] labcoattech: didn't work how? [23:51] labcoattech: if i figure out my problems I'll try to help you with yours. [23:51] My problem is similar to ironbutt's. Had fglrx installed previously. Most recent update appears to have broken it. Hangs on boot and seems to exit with an error from dmesg. Have to remove fglrx to boot generic driver in order to have a gui to trouble shoot. dmesg pastebin: http://pastebin.com/zHEr3KxU [23:51] g [23:51] I'm guessing he got the "it didn't work" problem, where it doesnt work [23:51] wait a second [23:51] CS Source tries to launch but then crashes with out any error messages [23:52] ironbutt: headers installed? [23:52] alexi_: post your Xorg.0.log from when X crashes [23:52] what headers? [23:52] ironbutt: thanks [23:52] and have you got a log from the flgrx install attempts? [23:52] ironbutt: kernel headers [23:53] alexi_: and you don't need a GUI to troubleshoot. Ctrl+Alt+F1...6 [23:53] I don't know [23:53] i m sure they are needed for isntalling the drivers [23:53] I'm just going to waste a bit of time attempting to install the drivers again [23:53] kll, hold that thought, I'll be back in a little bit [23:53] k1l: wouldn't apt pull them in? [23:54] roothorick: i think there was an issue/bug with it. so i would look out for that [23:54] Guys, can you please help me fast? [23:54] i want to convert a video using this command: ffmpeg -i "-PBWkNz-W6Y.mp4" -f mp3 -ab 192000 -vn "-PBWkNz-W6Y.mp3" [23:54] but it thinks, the last "-PBWkNz-W6Y.mp3" is another property [23:55] how can i stop him from thinking that? [23:55] Styler2go: put a -- before it? [23:55] but it will save the file with a -- then, or? [23:55] roothorick yes, I am able to make a lot of use out of the ttys, but my knowledge isn't extensive enough to accomplish a whole lot of usefulness. the gui is useful for being able to google for similar issues. Although i do have elinks installed for tty use. I'll fetch a Xorg.0.log [23:55] Styler2go: -- is the standard "no more arguments past here" flag [23:55] -- is not working either [23:56] cd /var/www/apps/convert/ && ffmpeg -i "-PBWkNz-W6Y.mp4" -f mp3 -ab 192000 -vn "--PBWkNz-W6Y.mp3" [23:56] you meqan this was? [23:56] Styler2go: no. -- "-PBWkNz-W6Y.mp3" [23:56] how do I get to my public hmtl in my lamp server [23:56] ? [23:56] how can i connect with terminal to my wireless network? [23:56] alexi_: remember, the log needs to be from when it actually stuffed up [23:56] still not working.. [23:57] hello [23:57] Styler2go: dunno. Never used ffmpeg. You do know mp3 isn't a container, right? [23:57] and? [23:57] how do I get to my public hmtl in my lamp server, anyone? [23:57] Does Ubuntu work well on Intel Atom N270 CPU? [23:57] the conversion is working fine [23:57] just the new "-" is making trouble [23:57] Processor speed 1.66GHz. Intel Atom N270 CPU [23:58] Only 1GB DDR2 RAM [23:58] I'm back, about to run fglrxinfo in the terminal inside of the broken interface [23:58] Ice_Strike: CPUs are very very standard, they're never the problem [23:58] X Error of failed request: BadRequest(invalid request code of no such operation) [23:58] no idea for me? [23:58] please :-/ [23:58] ironbutt_: what does lspci -k show? [23:58] Might install Ubuntu on Netbook (Intel Atom N270 CPU, 1GB DDR2 RAM) [23:59] Ice_Strike: you can try ubuntu, i have it on my netbook, too. or xou go with lubuntu which is sort of lighter [23:59] ironbutt_: you have the log from the installation of the fglrx? [23:59] Ice_Strike: boot from a live USB and check it out, make sure everything's working, graphics, wireless etc [23:59] driver modules: gone... it's not there anymore
