| jhutchins_wk | wiggmpk: I think I've mostly used ktorrent. | 00:00 |
| wiggmpk | jhutchins_wk: your right.. sorry | 00:00 |
| jhutchins_wk | kubotsu: No, of course not, otherwise nobody could start a torrent. | 00:00 |
| shwaiil | jhutchins_wk: I runned the command but because I've got windows in the boot, this didnt run fsck ...not sure if because of that | 00:00 |

| kubotsu | we are getting somewhere i guess.. but transmission doesnt seem to have a 'create torrent file' option | 00:01 |
| buenouanq | yes it does | 00:01 |

| TreceX | alguien habla español o portugues? | 00:08 |
| kubotsu | wiggmpk: yes, that worked out | 00:08 |
| Ben64 | kubotsu: they already have ubuntu torrents, why create a new one without any peers on it? | 00:08 |
| elky | SonikkuAmerica, PXEboot happens when you boot, but you need it set up on your network. you select usually f12 and you get a menu of images to install fro | 00:08 |
| elky | from* | 00:08 |
| kubotsu | Ben64: let it go . its all good now | 00:08 |
| buenouanq | Installation problems on a Macbook5,1. Can get to GRUB just fine with the options: -Try without install -Install -OEM install -Check disc for defects | 00:08 |
| SonikkuAmerica | elky: OK... | 00:09 |
| buenouanq | Selecting any of these leads to a blank screen, then some lines of various colors appear at the top. Please help. Any ideas? | 00:09 |
| Ben64 | kubotsu: well you're asking silly questions. seeding and creating are much different | 00:09 |
| Ben64 | to seed the iso, all you need is the already created torrent file from ubuntu.com, and the iso | 00:09 |
| wiggmpk | Ben64: technically you dont need the .torrent file once its already loaded in your torrent client | 00:10 |
| cheetah100 | nzoss | 00:10 |
| kubotsu | right, which means you only have half the information to properly understand my issue which was already resolved by wiggmpk 's link | 00:10 |
| Ben64 | wiggmpk: then you still need it... | 00:10 |
| kubotsu | move on | 00:10 |
| wiggmpk | Ben64: no... you dont.. i never have and never will download .torrent files.. they only need to be opened in the torrent client.. as long as the torrent stays active in your client.. you continue to seed the files | 00:11 |
| Ben64 | wiggmpk: thats crazy. "you don't need the torrent file if you already have it" | 00:11 |
| SonikkuAmerica | elky: Actually, I found a tutorial using EasyBCD, but thanks for the net boot option. | 00:11 |
| === FreakingTea is now known as FreakingStuff | ||
| wiggmpk | Ben64: if you already have the active torrent in your client.. you dont need the .torrent client | 00:12 |
| wiggmpk | err file | 00:12 |
| Ben64 | that means you already have it | 00:12 |
| Ben64 | :| | 00:12 |
| wiggmpk | Ben64: no, it just means the tracker knows where I am cause im seeding | 00:12 |
| Ben64 | you clicked it, therefore you downloaded it and opened it in the client. you do indeed have the torrent file | 00:12 |
| buenouanq | anyone? | 00:12 |
| wiggmpk | Ben64: i welcome you to search my laptop for a .torrent file | 00:13 |
| jhutchins_wk | wiggmpk: It's probably hidden. | 00:13 |
| SonikkuAmerica | elky: Apparently EasyBCD can add ISO booting to the Windows MBR so one can boot CDs directly at the Windows bootloader. Then I won't have to worry about it when GRUB overwrites the MBR on the other partition (hopefully). | 00:13 |
| wiggmpk | jhutchins_wk: no, its not | 00:13 |
| Ben64 | its definitely there, it's not magical | 00:14 |
| SonikkuAmerica | provided the other partition is primary. | 00:14 |
| Ben64 | either in memory or on disk, it exists | 00:14 |
| kubotsu | Ben64: the question was 'how to create a .torrent file from within transmission'. thats all | 00:14 |
| jhutchins_wk | wiggmpk: Likely in a hidden .directory for your torrent client. | 00:14 |
| kubotsu | you're drowning yourself | 00:14 |
| wiggmpk | Ben64: if it was in memory it would vanish on a restart | 00:14 |
| Ben64 | then its on disk | 00:14 |
| wiggmpk | jhutchins_wk: i know what a hidden directory is.. its not there | 00:14 |
| wiggmpk | in fact, transmission gives you the option to move .torrent files to trash after they are added | 00:15 |
| jhutchins_wk | Quick! To the retistry! | 00:15 |
| Ben64 | Feb 18 2013 15:49:48 <kubotsu>let me rephrase, do i have to re-download the .iso in order to seed? | 00:15 |
| Ben64 | the question was how to seed | 00:15 |
| BaconAttack_ | wiggmpk transmission stores your .torrents in a hidden folder | 00:15 |
| jhutchins_wk | wiggmpk: You really misunderstand the process. If you open a torrent file, it has been downloaded. | 00:15 |
| kubotsu | Ben64: read between the lines ? | 00:16 |
| BaconAttack_ | wiggmpk just check ~/Library/Application Support/Transmission/torrents/. | 00:16 |
| Ben64 | kubotsu: my irc client lacks the ability to read minds, sorry | 00:16 |
| jhutchins_wk | wiggmpk: Anything you open or display locally is downloaded one way or another. | 00:16 |
| wiggmpk | BaconAttack_: that directory doesnt exist on my system | 00:17 |
| BaconAttack_ | then how does transmission function | 00:17 |
| jhutchins_wk | wiggmpk: Your torrent client could conceivably store it as something other than a torrent file, but it's there somewhere. | 00:17 |

| BaconAttack_ | yes | 00:19 |

| ifoney | jhutchins_wk: still does not load | 00:20 |
| wiggmpk | jhutchins_wk: not that I want to encourage this discussion any further, but for lol's I just did a comprehensive search of my laptop for any .torrent files.. they are not here mate.. sorry | 00:21 |

If I turn on my second, Unity 3D claims that my monitors need to fit into a box 2048*2048, and my monitors don't. In 12.04 I fixed this by using Unity 2d, which I can't in 12.10. For the last 4 months I've had my second monitor turned off, expecting that this would be fixed at some point soon. As it hasn't been, any pointers to get it working? I'm having no success so fa | 00:27 |

| crypticmofo | hi all | 01:05 |
| crypticmofo | i heard about unbuntu for android | 01:05 |
| crypticmofo | can i download it ? | 01:06 |
| pooltable | LibreOffice PPA that one ? | 01:06 |
| jrib | Giddeon: actually, this is probably a better place to point (but they say the same thing): http://heirloom.sourceforge.net/mailx/mailx.1.html | 01:06 |
| dr_willis | http://askubuntu.com/questions/132837/how-do-i-install-the-latest-stable-version-of-libreoffice | 01:06 |
| dr_willis | crypticmofo: not at this time i belive.. | 01:06 |
| crypticmofo | wow | 01:06 |
| crypticmofo | dr_willis, it looks awesome | 01:07 |
| dr_willis | Ill belive in it when i see it. | 01:07 |
| kubotsu | your nick isn't | 01:07 |
| pooltable | LibreOffice PPA that one ? | 01:08 |
| kubotsu | pooltable: you have to find the address to the ppa in question then add it to your Sources. thought i'd mention that... | 01:09 |

| mobodo | ergh… great, the livecd does not fit on a 700MB cd anymore… :P | 01:09 |
| dr_willis | pooltable: http://askubuntu.com/questions/132837/how-do-i-install-the-latest-stable-version-of-libreoffice | 01:09 |
| dr_willis | 12.10 is a live dvd | 01:09 |
| kubotsu | yup, over 700mb.. but there are 800mb cd's too | 01:10 |
| dr_willis | http://www.omgubuntu.co.uk/2012/09/its-official-the-ubuntu-livecd-is-dead | 01:10 |
| revupdev34 | I am trying to do something super simple. Using 12.4 Natty and the cd command seems to not work anymore | 01:12 |
| kubotsu | such a 'waste' to have to use a dvd but , you can only have one 'livecd' system per disc anyway :-P unless am missiong something.. | 01:12 |
| revupdev34 | WHY? | 01:12 |
| dr_willis | most people use USB flash drives these days | 01:13 |
| PadNet_201 | yep | 01:13 |
| dr_willis | !12.04 | 01:13 |
| ubottu | Ubuntu 12.04 LTS (Precise Pangolin) is the current !LTS release of Ubuntu. Download http://releases.ubuntu.com/12.04/ - Release Info: http://www.ubuntu.com/getubuntu/releasenotes/1204 | 01:13 |
| revupdev34 | in command line I simple type sudo cd/var/www | 01:13 |
| revupdev34 | sudo: cd/var/www: command not found | 01:13 |
| dr_willis | revupdev34: perhaps if you put a space in there where it belongs? | 01:13 |
| Pagos | hey guys, I'm having some troubles getting sound to work on a thinkpad T40 with lubuntu 12.04 | 01:13 |
| PadNet_201 | revupdev34, check alias? | 01:13 |
| dr_willis | and using cd with sudo is meaningless. | 01:13 |
| m1dn1ght | Hi guys - I'm having some trouble getting sound to play through my hdmi cable (ATI card to TV). I read I should ensure I am using the up-to-date proprietary driver, but when I open "additional drivers" it just tells me there are none in use on the system but doesn't list any I can choose to enable. Am I missing something? (Using 12.04) | 01:14 |
| escott | revupdev34, sp aces a re impo rtant | 01:14 |
| revupdev34 | dr_willis: space after cd? | 01:14 |
| PsyCl0ne | Hi everyone, I enabled nvidia drivers on a new 12.10 install and now when the computer boots I only have a flashing cursor | 01:14 |
| revupdev34 | usually I put a space | 01:14 |
| revupdev34 | like sudo cd /home | 01:14 |
| dr_willis | revupdev34: err... yes.. your paste did not show a space.. | 01:14 |
| dr_willis | and again.. sudo cd -> rather meaningless command | 01:14 |
| revupdev34 | or... sudo cd /Desktop | 01:14 |
| escott | revupdev34, and as dr_willis mentioned sudo cd is meaningless. as cd is a builtin | 01:14 |
| escott | so even with the space it will still fail | 01:15 |
| Pagos | I'm having some troubles getting sound to work on a thinkpad T40 with lubuntu 12.04. Anyone know what to do? | 01:15 |
| MoPac | [Sorry for re-asking, bad connection] I have a question about whether an unmounted encfs folder is at risk of exposure if it has the same password as a mounted one. Would this be a good place to ask, or is there a better room? | 01:15 |
| revupdev34 | cd /Desktop | 01:15 |
| revupdev34 | bash: cd: /Desktop: No such file or directory | 01:15 |
| escott | revupdev34, ~/Desktop is not the same as /Desktop | 01:16 |
| dr_willis | sounds correct.. theres shouldent be a /Desktop directory | 01:16 |
| Pagos | MoPac, why are you using the same password for both? | 01:16 |
| dr_willis | you might want to read up on some bash tutorials. | 01:16 |
| dr_willis | ~/Desktop is very differnt from /Desktop | 01:16 |
| revupdev34 | I did not put a ~ in there? | 01:16 |
| MoPac | Pagos: It's a Boxcryptor folder with subfolders. It's simple to just mount a subfolder rather than the whole thing, but I'm wondering if it's more secure. All subfolders will have the same password | 01:16 |
| escott | MoPac, having the same password anywhere makes possible some attacks that would not otherwise be possible. so yes | 01:16 |
| revupdev34 | do you see a ~? | 01:17 |
| dr_willis | revupdev34: and as we said.. there should NOT be a /Desktop | 01:17 |
| revupdev34 | dr_willis: is your name John btw? | 01:17 |
| revupdev34 | John Willis? | 01:17 |
| === Wolfpack is now known as MrWolfpack | ||
| dr_willis | revupdev34: /home/user/Desktop = ~/Desktop | 01:17 |
| escott | revupdev34, no i dont see a ~. thats why I brought it up | 01:17 |
| MoPac | escott: I guess I understand that it's possible in principle (i.e., sidechannel attack on the RAM, etc). But I'm wondering if it's plausible -- i.e., could a piece of malware do it, or a person sitting at the computer, etc | 01:17 |
| Pagos | MoPac, yeah I figured. It might compromise it, but you might want to check with people who know more about it | 01:17 |
| Pagos | I'm sorry I can't help you, MoPac | 01:18 |
| MoPac | I assume the plaintext password, or the private key itself, is cached in RAM, but I don't know if that means it's easy for a user or su to call out | 01:18 |
| Pagos | I'm sorry I can't help you, MoPac | 01:18 |
| escott | MoPac, the passphrase is used to symmetrically decrypted a longer key which is then used to do all the other encryption. so the password usage is really minimal in ecrytpfs | 01:18 |
| Pagos | I'm having some troubles getting sound to work on a thinkpad T40 with lubuntu 12.04. Anyone know what to do? | 01:18 |
| escott | MoPac, its just for unwrapping the true passphrase | 01:18 |
| MoPac | escott: Right, see above -- I guess the question si really thtat the folders have the same private key, and that private key is cached for one that is mounted | 01:18 |
| MoPac | But I don't know if that means that it's trivial, or still very hard, for a user to actually moun the second folder | 01:19 |
| MoPac | *mount | 01:19 |
| revupdev34 | escott: cd /Desktop always worked fine for me | 01:19 |
| escott | MoPac, if two directories have different keys then the fact that passphrase 1 and 2 are both used to decrypt the same key would seem to be minimal risk, but im no cryptographer and i'm confident there is AN attack | 01:19 |
| dr_willis | revupdev34: there should not be a /Desktop directory on a Normal ubuntu install. | 01:19 |
| dr_willis | users data files are in their Home directory | 01:20 |
| revupdev34 | I have cd'ed directories hundreds of times and cannot understand why it is not working as it always has | 01:20 |
| revupdev34 | dr_willis: that is not correct | 01:20 |
| escott | revupdev34, then you have misconfigured your computer. I suggest you move the /Desktop folder to the correct location and rm -rf /Desktop afterwards. | 01:20 |
| revupdev34 | if you are referring to Ubuntu Desktop version | 01:20 |
| escott | !fhs | revupdev34 | 01:20 |
| ubottu | revupdev34: An explanation of how files and directories are organized on Ubuntu, and how they can be manipulated, can be found at https://help.ubuntu.com/community/LinuxFilesystemTreeOverview see also: man hier | 01:20 |
| revupdev34 | or do you mean Ubuntu Server OS? | 01:20 |
| m1dn1ght | No desktop folder should ever be stored in the root directory, which is what you're saying if you could cd to /Desktop | 01:21 |
| MoPac | escott: They have the same key as well as the same password. It's just one boxcryptor folder -- normally the subvolders aren't even recognized by cryptkeeper. But if you copy the encfs file from the main folder into subfolders, you can mount them individually. That seems like a clever solution to give extra security to folders that have more sensitive data and rarely need to be mounted | 01:21 |
| Pagos | I'm having some troubles getting sound to work on a thinkpad T40 with lubuntu 12.04. Anyone know what to do? | 01:21 |
| MoPac | but I'm not sure if that's stupid | 01:21 |
| jrib | revupdev34: you probably used "cd ~/Desktop" or "cd Desktop" while you were in your HOME | 01:21 |
| dr_willis | !sound | 01:21 |
| ubottu | If you're having problems with sound, click the Volume applet, then Sound Preferences, and check your Volume, Hardware, Input, and Output settings. If that fails, see https://help.ubuntu.com/community/Sound - https://help.ubuntu.com/community/SoundTroubleshooting - http://alsa.opensrc.org/DmixPlugin - For playing audio files, see !players and !mp3. | 01:21 |
| revupdev34 | jrib: that is correct | 01:22 |
| PadNet_201 | Pagos, which audio server are u using? | 01:22 |
| jrib | revupdev34: ok so do that | 01:22 |
| revupdev34 | Desktop dir is in Home of course | 01:22 |
| escott | MoPac, it sounds like a bad idea | 01:22 |
| dr_willis | revupdev34: /Desktop is NOT in your home directory. its a full path | 01:22 |
| revupdev34 | AH! | 01:22 |
| Pagos | PadNet_201, how do I know? | 01:22 |
| revupdev34 | I do not need the / | 01:22 |
| revupdev34 | haha | 01:22 |
| dr_willis | bash basics... | 01:22 |
| MoPac | escott: Do you know who would be a good person to ask? The encfs people? A crypto room? I appreciate your help | 01:22 |
| revupdev34 | not sure why I was putting that in there | 01:22 |
| giiker | anyone can help on how to patch a drive? | 01:23 |
| giiker | anyone can help on how to patch a driver? | 01:23 |
| PadNet_201 | giiker, use zypper | 01:23 |
| m1dn1ght | Hi guys - I'm having some trouble getting sound to play through my hdmi cable (ATI card to TV). I read I should ensure I am using the up-to-date proprietary driver, but when I open "additional drivers" it just tells me there are none in use on the system but doesn't list any I can choose to enable. Am I missing something? (Using 12.04) | 01:23 |
| Pagos | PadNet_201, I assume the default one in lubuntu 12.04 | 01:23 |
| Physicist | Greetings.. I just install the new driver amd. However, there was a security update for a new linux image, should I upgrade after installing the driver? | 01:24 |
| PadNet_201 | Pagos, hit alt + F2, type phonon, it should bring up a dialog to edit your sound prefs | 01:24 |
| revupdev34 | dr_willis: John? | 01:24 |
| escott | MoPac, only person i know of who works on this is dustin kirkland. it obvious there is an attack if you use the same key. i dont understand why you would want such a configuration. ecryptfs was designed to handle multiple keys | 01:24 |
| dr_willis | m1dn1ght: whats your exact chipset? | 01:24 |
| cfhowlett | !md5sum | 01:24 |
| ubottu | 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 | 01:24 |
| m1dn1ght | dr_willis - ATI Radeon HD 4850 | 01:24 |
| Pagos | PadNet_201, it said "no such process." | 01:24 |
| MoPac | escott: It's so that I can keep compatibility with all the other platforms that use Boxcryptor | 01:24 |
| Pagos | PadNet_201, er, no such program. sorry | 01:24 |
| giiker | PadNet_201: something easier? itś just a file thatś part of a source I gotta patch, I read I can do it manually, but want to make sure I'm ddoing it right | 01:25 |
| dr_willis | m1dn1ght: you could check the hardware lists to see what drivers support that card. or just install the fglrx drivers and hope they work. I dont keep track of what ati cards are supported these days | 01:25 |
| escott | MoPac, what is this "Boxcryptor" | 01:25 |
| m1dn1ght | dr_willis - you're saying just install them from the command prompt? | 01:25 |
| pooltable | well dr wills thanks i have 3.6 not 4.0 yet and did it through cli but better then what i had so thnas | 01:26 |
| PadNet_201 | Pagos, try running zypper -pch | 01:26 |
| revupdev34 | dr_willis: I thought you were a hardware expert??? | 01:26 |
| MoPac | escott: https://www.boxcryptor.com/ | 01:26 |
| Physicist | Greetings.. I just install the new driver amd. However, there was a security update for a new linux image, should I upgrade after installing the driver? | 01:26 |
| revupdev34 | you must not be the same Dr. Willis I know | 01:26 |
| revupdev34 | LoL | 01:26 |
| dr_willis | m1dn1ght: thats all the gui tools do. | 01:26 |
| phunyguy | So I am guessing proxy support in Ubuntu is incomplete... I have to proxy everything at work, and we have all the proxies set up, and when adding them to Ubuntu, some services still don't connect (facebook and twitter over gwibber, and AIM over empathy...) | 01:26 |
| * dr_willis is a Dr of Love. | 01:26 | |
| Pagos | PadNet_201, zypper not found either | 01:27 |
| escott | MoPac, you should take this up with boxcryptor themselves | 01:27 |
| revupdev34 | to all: How can I use dual NVIDIA cards on Ubuntu 12.4 LTS Desktop? | 01:27 |
| m1dn1ght | so is it just as simple as installing the 'fglrx' package with apt-get? Or do I need to configure it according to my hardware | 01:27 |
| revupdev34 | I have two Nvidia Quadro 2000 cards but they are not being detected | 01:27 |
| dr_willis | revupdev34: if they use the same nvidia driver. you should be able to just plug them, all in, run nvidia-settings and configure them | 01:27 |
| revupdev34 | I tried to plug in a second monitor to be sure but it seems that only one of them is working | 01:28 |
| MoPac | escott: There's no native Linux boxcryptor program: but since what they do is encfs or encfs-compatible, on Linux I can just use cryptkeeper to open the folders | 01:28 |
| k1ng | what is the best video and audio player for ubuntu? | 01:28 |
| Pagos | k1ng, that's incredibly subjective | 01:28 |
| m1dn1ght | k1ng - I use vlc for video | 01:28 |
| revupdev34 | thanks dr_willis I will try that now | 01:28 |
| k1ng | and what should i get 12.04 LTS or latest version? | 01:28 |
| escott | MoPac, all they are going to do is sync the .Private folder and share the keyfile in a sidechannel right | 01:28 |
| Pagos | !polls | k1ng | 01:28 |
| ubottu | k1ng: 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. | 01:28 |
| escott | ? | 01:28 |
| MoPac | So for these purposes, the fact that the folders are created by Boxcryptor is the reason why I want to have multiple mounts with the same key, but not really relevant to the security outcome - it's just encfs | 01:28 |
| dr_willis | k1ng: depenbds on your needs | 01:29 |
| Physicist | dr_willis, I do not know if do you have doctorate, but, can you help me? Greetings.. I just install the new driver amd. However, there was a security update for a new linux image, should I upgrade after installing the driver? | 01:29 |
| PadNet_201 | Pagos, Not really sure then, find your software installation utility and download PulseAudio, that's my only recommendation | 01:29 |
| m1dn1ght | dr_willis - so is it just as simple as installing the 'fglrx' package with apt-get? Or do I need to configure it according to my hardware | 01:29 |
| dr_willis | m1dn1ght: all ive ever really done was install the proper drivers and rebooted | 01:30 |
| m1dn1ght | dr_willis - so, 'apt-get install fglrx' and then a reboot? | 01:30 |
| revupdev34 | is there a good app I can run to be sure OpenGL is functional on both cards? | 01:30 |
| revupdev34 | what is the command again? GLXspheres? | 01:31 |
| Pagos | PadNet_201, I have installed pulseaudio via apt, what do I do now? | 01:31 |
| escott | revupdev34, is this some kind of crossfire configuration? | 01:31 |
| PadNet_201 | Pagos, configure Phonon with your preferred sound device, check your volume levels and output devices, and it should work | 01:31 |
| Physicist | Pagos, You should include in the autostart and remove the old software, like alsa, And is good install the plugins. | 01:32 |
| PadNet_201 | I've had good luck w/ pulseaudio once i figured it out | 01:33 |
| revupdev34 | escott: no it is not SLI as they are Quadro cards | 01:34 |
| Pagos | I'm still not getting sound | 01:34 |
| revupdev34 | professional grade Quadros do not have SLI | 01:34 |
| Giddeon | jrib: thank you for the mailutils link! that solved it | 01:35 |
| PadNet_201 | Pagos, no sound at all or no sound from an audio file? | 01:36 |
| ImEunify_ | im back. i try booting ubuntu that i have on a usb with my mac. but everytime it gives me 'Non-System File' 'Press Any Key To Reboot' | 01:36 |
| PadNet_201 | and did you logout and back in | 01:36 |
| Jofironses | Does someone know what a desktop shell is? | 01:36 |
| Pagos | PadNet_201, no sound at all | 01:36 |
| deeprogram | hi ? I have program with network | 01:36 |
| Physicist | Bye.. Exiting without support again. | 01:37 |
| PadNet_201 | Pagos, have you logged out and back in, or restarted after installing pulse audio? | 01:37 |
| deeprogram | I get "no network devices available" | 01:37 |
| PadNet_201 | Pagos, and did you remove alsa as well? | 01:37 |
| deeprogram | did you have same program before ? | 01:37 |
| Pagos | PadNet_201, I have not as I have a critical process running right now... I will log out and back in when that is done | 01:38 |
| Physicist | dr_willis, You are one of the most able to help. | 01:38 |
| PadNet_201 | Pagos, yea that is necessary i believe | 01:38 |
| Jofironses | I was checking this https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Shell_%28computing%29 out but could not understand why Unity is a shell while KDE for example is not | 01:38 |
| Physicist | Thank you anyway. | 01:38 |
| Pagos | PadNet_201, okay. I will come back once this process is done | 01:39 |
| escott | Jofironses, yeah some of those seem a bit ill defined | 01:40 |
| Jofironses | indeed | 01:40 |
| escott | Jofironses, traditionally a pure WM just handles the windows and does not dictate any auxilarly programs that make a "desktop environment" | 01:40 |
| Physicist | escott, Exist problem install updates after ATI driver? | 01:41 |
| escott | Jofironses, they seem to be using the term "shell" to indicate the a window manager that is integrated into a desktop environment, but is not the official/primary wm for that desktop | 01:41 |
| Physicist | kernel updates.. | 01:41 |
| escott | Jofironses, but if that is the case I would think that E17 is in the wrong section. it should be either a WM or a desktop but its certainly not a shell in that sense | 01:42 |
| shwaiil | Q: One user account is corrupted, probably something todo with $HOME. Sound device is not available etc. I've run fsdk but it couldn't fix. I don't know what else to do. Ive created a new account and maybe I can just move files around, or should I use the liveCd to reinstall ubuntu 12.10 ? Thanks for looking! | 01:42 |
| Jofironses | I see | 01:42 |
| ImEunify_ | can someone tell me why i keep getting "Non-System File Press any key to reboot" when i try to boot liveusb on a mac | 01:42 |
| escott | Jofironses, in the end its a meaningless distinction | 01:42 |
| Jofironses | Well, thanks for clearing that up :) | 01:42 |
| jbroome | ImEunify_: i'm guessing it's because your liveusb isn't set up correctly | 01:42 |
| deeprogram | I download ubuntu server version from "http://www.ubuntu.com/download/server/thank-you?distro=server&bits=64&release=latest" but I get it "ubuntu-12.10-server-amd64.iso" Why amd64 ? | 01:42 |
| DaemonicApathy | Because it is the 64-bit version, deeprogram. | 01:43 |
| jbroome | deeprogram: well, the "bits=64" part of the url seems to indicate taht's what you wanted | 01:43 |
| ImEunify_ | jbroome: whats the correct way to set up the liveusb | 01:43 |
| cfhowlett | deeprogram, amd64 is the nomenclature for the 64 bit version ... nothing to do with AMD | 01:43 |
| Jofironses | escott: Still, unity is a desktop environment isn't it? | 01:43 |
| jbroome | ImEunify_: Not sure, i just diagnose the errors | 01:44 |
| escott | Jofironses, i would say unity is a desktop environment built off of the gnome3 foundation. | 01:44 |
| ImEunify_ | jbroome: hmm alright thanks. | 01:44 |
| DaemonicApathy | I would say Unity is mainly a panel. | 01:44 |
| deeprogram | cfhowlett: thank you, I got it :) | 01:44 |
| Jofironses | all right, got it | 01:45 |
| CheBuzz | Ok. I have a questoin. I need to windows remote desktop to a box on a separate network. I have a server on that network VPN into a different server. I also can SSH into the non-windows box. Anybody know the port-forwarding SSH magic to let me remote desktop into that machine? | 01:45 |
| escott | Jofironses, ie Unity is not "just a window manager" (in fact compiz is still the window manager) nor is it "just a launcher" and you would not use it without all the associated gnome programs. that makes it a desktop environment as opposed to a pure window manager like blackbox | 01:45 |
| DaemonicApathy | CheBuzz: Forwar port 22. | 01:45 |
| DaemonicApathy | Scratch that, thinking ssh. | 01:46 |
| DaemonicApathy | CheBuzz: You might want to ask in a windows channel. | 01:46 |
| CheBuzz | Oh wow, there are windows IRC channels? | 01:46 |
| DaemonicApathy | Of course. | 01:46 |
| ImTheDude | how do i get face book to post pics ? | 01:46 |
| DaemonicApathy | ImTheDude: How would we know? We only know Ubuntu. | 01:47 |
| CheBuzz | Didn't know that. But it's not windows that I need. I need to somehow port forward with SSH so to my Linux server on that network so that my local machine can remote desktop into the Windows server on that network. | 01:47 |
| DaemonicApathy | CheBuzz: Using what program? | 01:47 |
| ImTheDude | i can't get the face book in my linux to upload picture to face book im running ubuntu | 01:47 |
| CheBuzz | SSH, preferably. | 01:47 |
| shwaiil | when running fsck I got something like UNEXPECTED INCONSISTENCY: RUN fsck MANUALLY (i.e., without -a or -p options) | 01:48 |
| CheBuzz | Every other port is closed off. My only way into that network is through SSH to the Linux box. | 01:48 |
| escott | shwaiil, have you checked your SMART status | 01:48 |
| cfhowlett | ImTheDude, this is not facebook support... | 01:48 |
| Jofironses | escott: Something I still didn't understand correctly, is it not metacity the display manager of unity? Or maybe it is only for unity 2d? | 01:48 |
| shwaiil | escott: tks for looking. I didnt found that option, I had run ubuntu or install ubuntu, I went to install and I had the option to check the partitions and stuff so I wasnt sure what to do | 01:49 |
| escott | Jofironses, for 2d they might use metacity (in fact gnome2 uses metacity for 2d) | 01:49 |
| shwaiil | was there to check the SMART status ? | 01:49 |
| PatrickDickey | Hi everyone. I've got a couple of questions about Grub, that the HowTo pages don't answer. I have a LVM set up on my other partition (running Fedora). So, when I do update grub, will it automatically load the LVM modules, or do I need to preload them? I'm basing the question on an error I was receiving about using the device mapper flag, and this link:http://wiki.gentoo.org/wiki/GRUB2#Booting_from_LVM_Logical_Volumes (which I | 01:49 |
| PatrickDickey | realize is for Gentoo, but it's the only thing I'm finding). | 01:49 |
| DaemonicApathy | CheBuzz: Are you planning on using a GUI, or a command line? | 01:49 |
| escott | shwaiil, "disk utility" will have a SMART status button | 01:49 |
| deeprogram | hi ? Can I re-install ubuntu and keep user data ? | 01:49 |
| PatrickDickey | deeprogram: Did you create a separate /home partition? | 01:49 |
| cfhowlett | deeprogram, if your users data is in a separate /home partition, yes | 01:50 |
| Jofironses | escott: Ok, thanks again :) | 01:50 |
| CheBuzz | <DaemonicApathy>: Commandline to launch rdesktop. | 01:50 |
| shwaiil | escott: disk utility. ok i'll reboot and try to find that tks | 01:50 |
| deeprogram | yes | 01:50 |
| escott | shwaiil, reboot? | 01:50 |
| escott | shwaiil, how are you logged into the system right now | 01:51 |
| DaemonicApathy | CheBuzz: Ok then, the only port forwarding that I know would be needed is port 22 for SSH. Beyond that, no clue. | 01:51 |
| jimi_ | I installed the RTS5229 driver, modprobed' it, saw it loaded in dmesg, but when insert a sd card, nothing is mounted and i dont see any new entries in /dev/sd* | 01:51 |
| shwaiil | escott: created a new acc, im admin | 01:51 |
| escott | shwaiil, ok. (a) NEVER fsck a running disk | 01:51 |
| escott | shwaiil, (b) you can just run "disk utility" right now | 01:52 |
| shwaiil | yeah try to remember the name of the disk utility Ive installed before, i'll do that | 01:52 |
| PatrickDickey | shwaiil: In the menu, it's called Disk or Disks (not Disk Utility). | 01:52 |
| shwaiil | PatrickDickey: thank you | 01:53 |
| PatrickDickey | shwaiil: no problem. | 01:53 |
| deeprogram | cfhowlett: thank you ! the /home mounted on /dev/sda1 | 01:54 |
| shwaiil | escott: SMART self test ?! its running | 01:54 |
| cfhowlett | deeprogram, congrats! | 01:54 |
| escott | shwaiil, you should not need to run the self test. you just need the smart attributes | 01:55 |
| shwaiil | escott: my SSD is fine but the optical drive has errors in the read error rate | 01:55 |
| shwaiil | overal "Disk is OK, one failing attribute is failing" | 01:56 |
| escott | shwaiil, what is the "Overall Assessment" for the disk | 01:56 |
| escott | shwaiil, what attribute is failing | 01:56 |
| shwaiil | read error rate value 120760591 | 01:56 |
| escott | shwaiil, could be a loose connector or bad cable | 01:56 |
| shwaiil | escott: this all started when I boot the computer and ubuntu seemed to be failling to mount the disk | 01:57 |
| shwaiil | I rebooted the computer and thats when I corrupted that user | 01:57 |
| shwaiil | the disk is not mounted though..but the user acc is corrupted | 01:57 |
| belundger | i would like to write a bash script to add multiverse to the end of each repo entry to sources.list, what would be the most elegant way to do this? | 01:57 |
| memand | when using rtorrent, is there a way to download a torrent to a different dir than the one that is set in the .rtorrent.rc ? | 01:58 |
| mobodo | I'm a bit confused - I think my system is not booting the right root (/) - is that set in grub or somewhere else on the boot partition? | 01:58 |
| holstein | shwaiil: maybe just remove or move the user config files out of the way | 01:58 |
| shwaiil | holstein: how to do that ? | 01:58 |
| ImEunify_ | if anyone wants to try out 13.04 and cant find it here it is. http://cdimage.ubuntu.com/daily-live/current/ | 01:58 |
| escott | shwaiil, not sure what to make of a high read error rate without remapped sectors but that could be a physical failure | 01:58 |
| mobodo | (it boots grub fine, but hangs right after doing just a few initializations steps when I choose to boot) | 01:59 |
| digitalfiz | hey guys I cant get the ubuntu cps to boot on my new gateway :( its a gateway dx4380g. I've tried 12.10, 12.04 and 12.04 alt with no go | 01:59 |
| jrib | ImEunify_: please don't paste that here. You can discuss 13.04 while it's still being developed in #ubuntu+1 | 01:59 |
| holstein | shwaiil: you will see them in the /home of the user account that is "corrupt".. some of them are in ~/.config ...others are in their own, like ~/.mozilla | 01:59 |
| fishtech | Hello! | 02:00 |
| cfhowlett | fishtech, greetings | 02:00 |
| shwaiil | holstein: rename it for example and then try to login to that user acc ? | 02:01 |
| shwaiil | escott: looks like the disk is failling the self test | 02:01 |
| fishtech | Never used a IRC really. Thought I would load it up and see what happens. | 02:01 |
| holstein | shwaiil: im assuming you have confirmed the issue is the user account.. when you say its corrupted, i assume you can login normally as another user | 02:02 |
| holstein | shwaiil: if the drive is failing, that is likely the issue... | 02:02 |
| cfhowlett | fishtech, general chitchat is in #ubuntu-offtopic actual ubuntu support is here. If you have a specific question or contribute an answer, please submit. otherwise, you are invited to read and learn. | 02:02 |
| shwaiil | holstein: I can login normally as another user, I can login to that "corrupt" account, for example the icon on the top right corner for the sound is displaying as if there was no sound, but there is actually. skype doesnt work though, or the list of devices doesnt exist really. | 02:03 |
| fishtech | Ah, ok. I'll go that channel, Thank you. | 02:03 |
| shwaiil | in the other acc everythings fine | 02:03 |
| holstein | shwaiil: so, blow out the user config, and test.. | 02:03 |
| shwaiil | holstein: ok, after that if everything ok what can I do ? | 02:03 |
| deeprogram | hello ? can I install ubuntu from disk ISO ? | 02:04 |
| holstein | shwaiil: i usually keep the .config files, and put the ones i need back, carefully and one at a time, to find out which is bad | 02:04 |
| cfhowlett | deeprogram, explain ... | 02:04 |
| dr_willis | deeprogram: you can set up grub2 to boot an ISO file.. if thats what you mean | 02:04 |
| bean__ | deeprogram, you'll need to put it on some sort of external media. | 02:04 |
| shwaiil | oh ok cool Ill try to do that thanks holstein and thanks escott | 02:05 |
| shwaiil | I'll do that now, test it. | 02:05 |
| bean__ | or maybe i'm wrong, if what dr_willis says is true | 02:05 |
| deeprogram | dr_willis: hmm, good idea | 02:05 |
| cfhowlett | deeprogram, check out pxe boot methods | 02:05 |
| dr_willis | you dont use tools like deamontools or other mounters to install ubuntu.. | 02:05 |
| isaias | can i install flash on this? | 02:07 |
| cfhowlett | isaias, this what? | 02:08 |
| dr_willis | watching HULU in flash right now... on my 12.10 box. | 02:10 |

| Fjodor3000 | hey guys, i've got quite an odd (at least it seems odd to me) problem: thinkpad x230, 80GB windows7 NTFS partition, the rest of the 256GB ssd is unallocated. i prepared a usb stick with ubtunu 12.10. the install routine doesn't show me the 'install ubuntu alongside windows' option. the partitioning overview just gives me the full 256GB as one partition that's free, so only /dev/sda with 256GB free space shown. which is obviously n | 02:13 |
| Fjodor3000 | but nautilus shows me my windows partition and can access it | 02:13 |
| Fjodor3000 | what can i do? | 02:13 |
| k-stz | Anyone got 12.04 with radeon hd 6670 running? | 02:13 |
| cfhowlett | Fjodor3000, had the same issue. my previous hackintosh required a gpt partition scheme and ubuntu didn't see it. converting the gpt to mbr got me going. | 02:14 |
| cfhowlett | Fjodor3000, but I was on an HDD not ssd... | 02:15 |
| escott | Fjodor3000, its an efi issue | 02:15 |
| escott | Fjodor3000, your efi bios is probably booting the usb stick in efi mode but the ssd in bios emulation mode | 02:15 |
| Fjodor3000 | hmm well, that would be very odd, because i deactivated efi completely | 02:16 |
| texla | Ubuntu-12.04..full install on a flash drive...no more install button...anyway to install from flash drive to hard drive ?? | 02:16 |
| escott | Fjodor3000, accordingly the disk is partitioned in msdos format, but the installer sees that as non-bootable and expects a gpt partition | 02:16 |
| cfhowlett | Fjodor3000, deactivate not remove ... | 02:16 |
| cfhowlett | texla, check system > settings for Install Ubuntu | 02:17 |
| Fjodor3000 | cfhowlett: deactivate, not remove - what? | 02:17 |
| cfhowlett | Fjodor3000, I think escott has the better explanation | 02:17 |
| Fjodor3000 | ok | 02:17 |
| id10t | gonna temporarily switch back to ubuntu to try steam w/ no fuss/muss. anyone have issues w/ 12.04 AMD64 and Steam? or should I just go 32bit all the way? | 02:18 |
| Fjodor3000 | escott: how can i convert the partioning? | 02:18 |
| escott | Fjodor3000, windows wont boot if you do. just change the boot preferences to boot the usb in the correct mode | 02:18 |
| dr_willis | 64bit 12.10 - steam - works here | 02:19 |
| Fjodor3000 | escott: as i said, i deactivated efi completely, so i'm pretty sure i'm booting in legacy mode | 02:20 |
| escott | Fjodor3000, and what you are describing is completely consistent with your usb stick booting in efi mode | 02:20 |
| escott | Fjodor3000, check does /sys/firmware/efi exist? | 02:20 |
| texla | cfhowlett, No button in dash or system settings | 02:20 |
| escott | Fjodor3000, it might be /sys/firmware/uefi or something so just check that firmware directory | 02:21 |
| Fjodor3000 | escott: i'm on the windows right now | 02:21 |
| Fjodor3000 | but i'll check | 02:21 |
| Fjodor3000 | there's one difference in my bios settings between now and half a year ago, when it easliy worked with 12.04: i had booth uefi and legacy activated half a year ago, with priority on legacy mode | 02:22 |
| cfhowlett | texla, I can't tell you exactly where to look as I'm on Xubuntu not ubuntu. Your install option is there somewhere. ask in this channel. | 02:23 |
| Fjodor3000 | be right back ;) | 02:24 |

Please see https://help.ubuntu.com/community/Java about how to install one of three current implementations. | 02:32 |

| KxTwo | bean__, getting zsnes to work was troublesome so I switched to snes9x and it works MUCH better BUT I cant figure out how to fast forward lol | 03:09 |
| bean__ | eoss, so, /etc/init/iptables-* exists? or something in /etc/init related to iptables | 03:09 |
| KxTwo | nvm I found it! its called turbo rah! | 03:09 |
| KxTwo | in case anyone asks, snes9x seems to be the superior emulator for ubuntu | 03:10 |
| eoss | bean__: no that does not exist... | 03:10 |
| dr_willis | Ive rarely had issues with zsnes. ;) | 03:10 |
| phunyguy | ok I found some settings but I am thinking I can't do what I want to do. I have music stored on a share, and some stuff I want to keep local. I want to store stuff added locally to rhythmbox in ~/Music/local, and have it still import stuff from ~/Music as a whole. | 03:10 |
| phunyguy | I have the server share symlinked there as "Main Collection" | 03:10 |
| KxTwo | dr_willis, I didn't either at first but its buggy with many games, snes9x is actually superior in video quality and sound Im quite surprised | 03:12 |
| eoss | bean__: so what do i have to do? i thought iptables-persistent took care of that | 03:12 |
| bean__ | eoss, then it would seem that package didnt do anything | 03:13 |
| dr_willis | theres only about 6 snes games i ever play. ;) | 03:13 |
| phunyguy | actually I think I found that too... org.rhythmbox.library.add-dir | 03:13 |
| phunyguy | I will try and let you know | 03:13 |
| savagecroc | i'm looking at switching to ubuntu for my desktop env but... is it true that dash (which i'm guessing is the equivilent of osx's spotlight) sends everything you search for to their servers? | 03:13 |
| ExceptionlCatch | hi, does anyone have any experience booting the latest ubuntu on a mac pro desktop using the usb installer? after selecting try ubuntu from grub it whirls for a bit and then stops with a black screen | 03:14 |
| CavalierPrime | savagecroc it sends anonymous data unless you disable it in privacy settings | 03:14 |
| Vivekananda | Hi everyone. I am trying to upgrade to 12.04 an it needs more disk space?? I have a partitioning / /home /cache. Which space should I free ? | 03:14 |
| savagecroc | oh right.. so you can just switch it off? | 03:14 |
| CavalierPrime | yes | 03:14 |
| savagecroc | so whats the big whinge-fest about then | 03:14 |
| dr_willis | !adlens | 03:14 |
| ubottu | If you wish not to see "More Suggestions" from places like Amazon in your Ubuntu 12.10, simply remove the package unity-lens-shopping, or adjust your Privacy settings as shown here: http://goo.gl/kFO4u . Mark Shuttleworth's blog entry on this is at http://goo.gl/uF7zZ | 03:14 |
| CavalierPrime | it is on by default is the big uproar | 03:14 |
| wookey | savagecroc: it being on by default? | 03:14 |
| dr_willis | People just like to rant about things | 03:15 |
| savagecroc | wookey: oh right.. but isint' equivilent to something like google instant search? | 03:15 |
| ExceptionlCatch | Vivekananda: depending on the situation it is possible to use a symlink to store the rest of the data on another partition. or, if lvm is used there are commands to resize the partitions | 03:15 |
| dr_willis | if apple had came up with it.. then it would be the best thing since the toaster oven... | 03:15 |
| bean__ | eoss, so there is no /etc/init/iptables-persistent.init ? | 03:16 |
| Vivekananda | ExceptionlCatch: Which partition needs more space for the install? Should I free up / or /home ?? | 03:16 |
| wookey | if apple had come up with it, it'd be evil like most things they do. | 03:16 |
| escott | Vivekananda, usually /home because you will keep your music files there, but not always | 03:16 |
| ExceptionlCatch | Vivekananda: make sure to create a backup | 03:17 |
| Vivekananda | So I should free up home so that the upgrade runs smoothly | 03:17 |
| Vivekananda | backup of \home I already have | 03:17 |
| econdudeawesome | Howdy all. I tried to install nvidia-experimental-304, and the install failed. I restarted, and now I can't log into a GUI. How to fix? | 03:17 |
| dr_willis | login in at the console. remove the package perhaps. | 03:18 |
| Vivekananda | but I am not sure how I create a back of programs I installed via a .deb package and which is not in the repos. Also not sure if they will run after the upgrade | 03:18 |
| econdudeawesome | dr_willis: I removed and purged the offending packages via apt-get in a tty shell. | 03:18 |
| dr_willis | econdudeawesome: check your xorg.conf also.. rename it. if it exists | 03:18 |
| stan879nz | can someone give me a link to help understand the way the file system works eg. when i install a program were does it install to | 03:18 |
| escott | Vivekananda, you backup the deb file, but you should look for an updated deb for your new release | 03:19 |

| econdudeawesome | dr_willis: this would be in /etc/X11? | 03:19 |
| dr_willis | yes | 03:20 |
| econdudeawesome | dr_willis: should I also move/rename the failsafe? | 03:20 |
| escott | econdudeawesome, no | 03:20 |

| dumb_dumb | linux-image-generic-pae : Depends: linux-image-3.2.0-35-generic-pae but it is not going to be installed | 03:22 |
| dumb_dumb | E: Unmet dependencies. Try 'apt-get -f install' with no packages (or specify a solution). | 03:22 |
| dumb_dumb | i`ll kept getting those error when trying to remove the kernel | 03:23 |
| dr_willis | you are not trying tro remove kernels you are currently using are you? | 03:23 |
| eoss | bean__: something is in /etc/init.d: iptables-persistent, but its still not restoring on reboot | 03:24 |
| dr_willis | and you did try a sudo apt-get -f install like it suggests? | 03:24 |
| dumb_dumb | yes still gave the same error | 03:24 |
| bean__ | eoss, hmm, and /etc/init.d/iptables-persistent start works? | 03:24 |
| econdudeawesome | dr_willis, escott: I am back. Now it will log into lightdm, but when I type in the password and try differing sessions (Gnome3, unity, xmonad) it logs in, goes black, then comes back around to lightdm | 03:25 |
| dr_willis | econdudeawesome: see if a new user. or the guest user works | 03:25 |
| econdudeawesome | by log into lightdm, I mean it comes up. When _I_ log into lightdm, this happens | 03:25 |
| econdudeawesome | dr_willis: I don't know how to do that. I only have one user on the computer | 03:25 |
| Malsasa | Hello, now lintian says E prerm-calls-updatemenus, whats wrong if i filll my prerm file with what written in http://lintian.debian.org/tags/postinst-does-not-call-updatemenus.html ? | 03:26 |

| goonsquad | GOONSQUAD RUNZ | 03:26 |
| webdesserts | is there a reason for this? Is this something they plan on fixing? | 03:27 |
| bean__ | eoss, then "update-rc.d iptables-persistent defaults" | 03:27 |
| eoss | bean__: " System start/stop links for /etc/init.d/iptables-persistent already exist." "update-rc.d: warning: iptables-persistent stop runlevel arguments (0 1 6) do not match LSB Default-Stop values (none)" "update-rc.d: warning: iptables-persistent start runlevel arguments (2 3 4 5) do not match LSB Default-Start values (S)" | 03:28 |
| econdudeawesome | dr_willis: so I added a new user "temp", but i don't see where to add a password/groups. | 03:29 |
| DaemonicApathy | webdesserts: I believe that's intended, when the focus is already on the only open instance. | 03:29 |
| bean__ | hmm, eoss, then it is running the start, at bootup | 03:29 |
| dr_willis | econdudeawesome: i just use sudo adduser billgates | 03:29 |
| bean__ | im not sure what to tell you. | 03:29 |
| eoss | bean__: what the heck >.< | 03:29 |
| eoss | bean__: ok well i gotta go, thanks for the help anyway | 03:29 |
| econdudeawesome | dr_willis: how do you log in? Lightdm isn't accepting a blank password | 03:29 |
| bean__ | eoss, what sort of VPS? | 03:29 |
| eoss | bean__: thrustVPS | 03:29 |
| dr_willis | i set a password for my test users | 03:30 |
| webdesserts | DaemonicApathy: I think you read my question wrong | 03:30 |
| eoss | bean__: openVZ i think | 03:30 |
| webdesserts | I expect it to focus on the openned app | 03:30 |
| webdesserts | instead it opens a new one | 03:31 |
| eoss | bean__: well, later | 03:31 |
| econdudeawesome | dr_willis: ok, that seems to be working (accidentally did "useradd" instead of "adduser" initially). How then do I fix my main account? or should xorg.conf be remade now? | 03:32 |
| phunyguy | I guess I will just use sound-juicer to extract CDs, and not rhythmbox | 03:32 |
| escott | webdesserts, make sure the firefox integration plugin is installed and enabled in firefox | 03:32 |
| dr_willis | econdudeawesome: if the new user works.. and the other user does not.. that points to a problem with the old users setting files in their home directory.. | 03:32 |
| phunyguy | rhythmbox isn't very intuitive with it's options | 03:32 |
| webdesserts | escott, I'm using chrome | 03:32 |
| dr_willis | econdudeawesome: start by moveing/checking the .Xauthority file, and perhaps move it and .config to a Backup directory | 03:33 |
| econdudeawesome | dr_willis: Okay. Any idea where I'd look? which .config? | 03:33 |
| escott | webdesserts, ok then the appropriate chrome plugin | 03:33 |
| dr_willis | econdudeawesome: make sure nothing is owned by root also. | 03:33 |
| dr_willis | econdudeawesome: id start by moving all of .config to a backup directory | 03:33 |
| dr_willis | and .Xauthority | 03:33 |
| webdesserts | escott, it is. Otherwise I wouldn't be able to pin my web apps to launcher in the first place I beleive | 03:34 |
| econdudeawesome | dr_willis: no .Xauthority it appears | 03:34 |
| dr_willis | ~/.Xauthority - normally exists.. weird its not there | 03:35 |
| elisa87 | Hi dr_willis do you know why I receive this error? configure: error: C++ compiler cannot create executables | 03:35 |
| econdudeawesome | dr_willis: indeed. I moved ~/.config to a new file, but login at lightdm still now successful | 03:35 |
| escott | webdesserts, i'm not that surprised it doesn't work. its a difficult problem to solve | 03:35 |
| dr_willis | elisa87: you installed the needed C compiler packages? such as build-essential? | 03:35 |
| escott | webdesserts, the browser gets asked to show "www.gmail.com" but has to realize that "www.gmail.com" is the same as the existing open window "https://mail.google.com/mail/u/0/?ui=2&shva=1#inbox" | 03:36 |
| dr_willis | econdudeawesome: huh? it works or not? ;) if not try moving other .* config files to a backup directory like .local and .compiz | 03:36 |

| dr_willis | elisa87: !commands are BOT commands.. and sounds like you are following the wrong manual | 03:38 |
| econdudeawesome | .Xauthority wasn't a folder, but a file--mea culpa | 03:38 |
| escott | !clone | Vivekananda | 03:38 |
| ubottu | Vivekananda: To replicate your packages selection on another machine (or restore it if re-installing), you can type « aptitude --display-format '%p' search '?installed!?automatic' > ~/my-packages », move the file "my-packages" to the other machine, and there type « sudo xargs aptitude --schedule-only install < my-packages ; sudo aptitude install » (this may cause problems with multiarch before 12.10) - See also !automate | 03:38 |

| escott | !gksudo | econdudeawesome | 03:39 |

| econdudeawesome | escott: I appreciate that, but I reckon that was for elisa87? | 03:40 |

| miroesq | escott: no idea what that is | 03:48 |
| holstein | ImEunify: you can take the hard drive out and install on another machine, and put it back. you can use plop, and you should try even if the dvd is kind of questionable | 03:48 |
| ImEunify | holstein: thanks ill give it a try and see if it works. does it work with backtrack 5? | 03:48 |
| escott | miroesq, you probably want setuid/setgid on /var/www and subfolders. for the rest send us the output of "groups" and "ls -al /var/www" | 03:49 |
| miroesq | escott: thank you. i will google this setuid and figure out how to do it, | 03:50 |
| holstein | ImEunify: i would ask in a backtrack support channel.. but "it", assuming you mean plop, just loads a menu which, as the link i gave explains, boot a USB stick.. doesnt matter.. if the stick can boot, it whould boot | 03:50 |
| holstein | should* | 03:50 |
| ImEunify | holstein: thanks again ill give it a try and see if it works. :D ill come back if i have any problems | 03:51 |

| dumb_dumb | linux-image-generic-pae depends on linux-image-3.2.0-35-generic-pae; however: | 04:30 |
| dumb_dumb | Package linux-image-3.2.0-35-generic-pae is not installed. | 04:30 |
| dumb_dumb | how to remove that error? | 04:30 |
| dumb_dumb | i already success to upgrade kernel | 04:30 |
| dumb_dumb | now using 3.2.0-38-generic-pae | 04:30 |

| KamranMackey | Hello everyone :) | 04:34 |
| Core | Really basic question, but if I download Ubuntu on Windows 7 I still keep Windows 7, correct? | 04:35 |
| holstein | dumb_dumb: i would just search in the package manger of your choice.. maybe just sudo apt-get install linux-image-3.2.0-35-generic-pae | 04:35 |
| KamranMackey | If you want to keep Windows 7 you have to download the Windows installer. | 04:35 |
| KamranMackey | for Ubuntu | 04:35 |
| Core | That's what I did. | 04:35 |
| holstein | Core: if you download the iso in win7, then the iso is just there... like any other data | 04:35 |
| dr_willis | thats not true KamranMackey | 04:35 |
| holstein | !wubi | 04:35 |
| ubottu | Wubi is an Ubuntu installer for Windows users that allows you to install and uninstall Ubuntu like a Windows application, in a simple and safe way. http://wubi-installer.org/support.php and https://wiki.ubuntu.com/WubiGuide for troubleshooting. Please file bugs at http://launchpad.net/wubi/+filebug. For Ubuntu Oneiric/11.10 http://releases.ubuntu.com/oneiric/wubi.exe | 04:35 |
| holstein | OR, you can dual boot and keep windows | 04:35 |
| dr_willis | wubi installs inside windows.. you can instgall alongside - to seperate partitions.. thats the normal way | 04:36 |
| Guest46967 | Howdy, I'm wondering if there is a straightforward generic way to create a system tray icon for any old process. Or is that something that has to be baked into an application? | 04:36 |

| dumb_dumb | ok thanks for the suggestion | 04:36 |
| dr_willis | Guest46967: check out the various 'indicator-applets' that exist. askubuntu.com has a list of them and some examples written in python you can tewek | 04:36 |
| KamranMackey | You mean tweak? | 04:37 |
| ryzzan | i have an hdd with a bad superblock and lvm fs... will it be possible to mount it on ubuntu? | 04:37 |
| MoPac | dr_willis: Thanks - I was probably screwing up by googleing for systerm tray rather than "indicator" | 04:37 |
| Core | Just making sure, the Windows Installer will keep my Windows installation alongside Ubuntu? I just choose whichever one I want at startup? | 04:38 |
| dr_willis | Core: either way can do that. | 04:38 |
| dr_willis | but always make and have backups | 04:38 |

| Ryzzan | i have an hdd with a bad superblock and lvm fs... will it be possible to mount it on ubuntu? | 04:40 |
| dr_willis | nubwub: you can mount the wubi disk image from a live cd via the loop back feature of mount | 04:40 |
| dr_willis | lik eyou would with an ISO file | 04:40 |
| holstein | Ryzzan: i would grab a live CD and try it | 04:40 |
| dr_willis | !iso | 04:40 |
| ubottu | To mount an ISO disc image, type « sudo mount -o loop <ISO-filename> <mountpoint> » - There is a list of useful cd image conversion tools at http://wiki.linuxquestions.org/wiki/CD_Image_Conversion - Always verify the ISO using !MD5 before !burning. | 04:40 |
| Core | I just need Ubuntu for a day at the most. | 04:40 |
| nubwub | dr_willis: thanks! | 04:40 |
| holstein | Ryzzan: there will be nothing in ubuntu preventing you from mounting it in ubuntu | 04:40 |
| dr_willis | Core: use a live-usb/cd with a persistant save file then | 04:41 |
| Core | What? | 04:41 |
| Ryzzan | holstein, i'm already using the hdd as slave under my ubuntu right now... | 04:41 |
| holstein | Ryzzan: cool.. so its mounted then.. | 04:41 |
| Ryzzan | i know how to mount the lvm on ubuntu... but the deal is: it has a bad superblock... and it's not mounting | 04:41 |
| Core | I've never really done anything like this before, so I don't really know what that is. | 04:41 |
| Ryzzan | holstein, it's not mounted... | 04:42 |
| holstein | Core: i would just use the live CD... load it up live and use it like that | 04:42 |
| holstein | Ryzzan: then, i would try mounting in | 04:42 |
| nubwub | Core, I came in half way through your dicussion, so I do not know exactly what you are discussing regarding wubi, however I will say that dispite my current issue with it, it has performed quite well for me and would recommend it, especially if you only need it for light use | 04:42 |
| holstein | yeah, wubi is easily removed if you dont want it anymore | 04:43 |
| Ryzzan | holstein, already tried... but it says that the hdd has a bad superblock n it won't be mounted | 04:43 |
| holstein | Ryzzan: then, i would try repairing it.. i use the ultimate boot cd | 04:43 |

| rkhshm | i need an urgent answer .. can anyone please help | 04:45 |
| Malsasa | rkhshm: what is your question? | 04:46 |
| rkhshm | Malsasa: when i'm doing a read(/dev/myssd, buff, 512) does it mean i'm reading the same 512 bytes always or is it differnt | 04:46 |
| dr_willis | read? you mean C++ code? or what ecxcatly? | 04:46 |
| rkhshm | dr_willis: C code | 04:46 |
| rkhshm | the read() call is what i'm talking about | 04:46 |
| holstein | Ryzzan: sure... i might use something like photorec to try and recover the data. from testdisk.. i also use that from the ulitmate boot cd | 04:46 |
| superstalin | Does everyone have these flash issues? | 04:47 |
| dr_willis | there is the ##C channel and ##programing i think | 04:47 |
| rkhshm | dr_willis: i'm talking about read(2) | 04:47 |
| tzarc | read advances the point forward | 04:47 |
| rkhshm | yeah those guys are acting up so gave up on that | 04:47 |
| tzarc | if you read 512 bytes, the next read will be after that 512 | 04:47 |
| dr_willis | print out the reads and look and see what its doing? ;) | 04:47 |
| rkhshm | ok | 04:47 |
| rkhshm | so if i run the read(2) in a while loop its basically going to do a sequential read | 04:48 |
| rkhshm | is that correct | 04:48 |
| tzarc | yes | 04:48 |
| tzarc | make sure your loop exit conditions are correct though | 04:48 |
| rkhshm | tzarc: thank you very much.. i cannot believe how ppl act to answer questions.. | 04:48 |
| rkhshm | yeah that's correct | 04:49 |
| tzarc | generally read will return how many bytes were indeed read, check against 512 and exit early if less than that | 04:49 |

| Core | Seeya. | 04:50 |
| Dozam | Probibly full...but to be honest I'm not entirely sure of the differences... | 04:50 |
| holstein | Ryzzan: depends on how broken it is i suppose.. AFAIK, there are tools in the disc i mentioned for LVM | 04:50 |
| dr_willis | Dozam: theres tools at the pendrivelinux site to do several live installs to the same usb drive. | 04:50 |
| dr_willis | a FUll install is the same asyou would install to a internal HD. | 04:51 |
| Dozam | ok, then yeah a full install | 04:51 |
| Ryzzan | holstein, ty | 04:51 |
| dr_willis | for swapping amount differnt pcs - you can get into driver issues with full installs. | 04:51 |
| eric2 | 04:51 | |
| Dozam | when I said multiple OSs, I meant Ubuntu/Win/Mac | 04:51 |
| dr_willis | Install to the SSD same as you would any other hd. pick one disrto to handle grub for all of them | 04:51 |
| dr_willis | Im not even sure that windows can run from an external USB | 04:52 |
| dr_willis | same for Mac. | 04:52 |
| Dozam | well less worried about windows | 04:52 |
| holstein | Ryzzan: good luck.. photorec is quite nice, assumin gyou can get at the LVM | 04:52 |

| stan879nz | thanks dr_willis for your help today cya | 04:56 |
| dr_willis | a FULL install moved amoung pcs can have issues with video card drivers and wifi drivers.. | 04:56 |
| dr_willis | you would be best served by sticking to the open sourced drivers on a full-usb-mobile install | 04:57 |
| dr_willis | id also set up grub2 on the usb to boot the ISO file - just in case the normal boot fails | 04:57 |
| Dozam | so have the image on the drive as well? | 04:57 |
| dr_willis | yes. its likely you will find some pc that wont want to boot your full install. | 04:58 |
| Malsasa | Hello, isthere any app for monitor my network traffic, in/out internet, both from wifi/cable lines? Thats app should be installed in Ubuntu server for monitoring my clients... | 04:58 |
| dr_willis | the iso file/boot will at least let you boot to ubuntu live | 04:58 |
| Dozam | ok, so I'll admit (if it isn't obvious already) I'm new-ish to linux/Ubuntu. What exactly is grub2? | 04:59 |

| Vivekananda | hey everyone How do I create a diskimage for my system partition. I want to upgrade from lucid to pangolin( is it ? 12.04 ?) and then to get back all my software inside it. Does this seem like a good plan of how to upgrade?? | 05:01 |
| dr_willis | backup imporntant data in your home. and reinstall is what i do normally | 05:02 |
| Tex_Nick | Vivekananda: you might also consider segregating your home dir onto another partition or drive ... if you have that option | 05:05 |
| Dozam | So I used to be a command line master back in the days of DOS, but I'm totally lost now and I know that Linux has different keywords and such. is there a good primer for linux command line/console? | 05:06 |
| dr_willis | !bash | 05:06 |
| ubottu | The linux terminal or command-line interface is very powerful. Open a terminal via Applications -> Accessories -> Terminal (Gnome), K-menu -> System -> Konsole (KDE), or Menu -> Accessories -> LXTerminal (LXDE). Guide: https://help.ubuntu.com/community/UsingTheTerminal | 05:06 |
| dr_willis | !backup | 05:06 |
| ubottu | There are many ways to back your system up. Here's a few: https://help.ubuntu.com/community/BackupYourSystem , https://help.ubuntu.com/community/DuplicityBackupHowto , https://wiki.ubuntu.com/HomeUserBackup , https://help.ubuntu.com/community/MondoMindi - See also !sbackup and !cloning | 05:06 |
| holstein | Vivekananda: you dont do an image for that.. you just backup your data.. you literally drag you data over to another hard drive, and drag it back | 05:07 |
| dr_willis | external usb hd. :) makes it handy | 05:07 |
| holstein | Dozam: i just started doing things in the command line.. when i want to make text files.. or move files.. or delete for example | 05:08 |
| Vivekananda | holstein: If I do that for the root partition will it work as an installed op system if suppose I format the root and then just copy the data back ? | 05:08 |
| holstein | Vivekananda: if you have a seperate /home partition, i would still backup the data | 05:09 |
| Dozam | ok, that makes sense. That's essentally how I learned DOS | 05:09 |
| dr_willis | people get so windows-trained thinking its hard to reinstall apps... | 05:09 |
| Vivekananda | I have a separate /home and I have that backed up. I aam pretty sure that folder backup of the root and not the folder partition and its restore will not be the same as installing the OS. | 05:10 |
| Vivekananda | Ie it wont work as the os if I just copy and paste folders back | 05:10 |
| holstein | Vivekananda: it can, assuming you get the proper folders, and put them back properly, and the permissions are as expected | 05:11 |
| dr_willis | I rarely backup the stuff on / ;) i may keep some custome configs backed up somewhere. if ive done any special tweaks.. rarely.. | 05:11 |
| holstein | Vivekananda: linux/ubuntu is open.. its all there.. so anything, expecically full recover, is usuallly possible | 05:11 |

| chaz68 | Anybody having this problem? Feels like Ubuntu's version of Whack-A-Mole... | 05:12 |
| Vivekananda | holstein: Are you sure that the bootloader with grub installation that happens during an OS install will not be required if I simply copy folder from / to suppose a new computer | 05:12 |
| holstein | Vivekananda: what would i do? back up my data.. *all* of it.. from the /home partition. then, if i had a seperate /home partition, i would try leaving it in place, knowing that i have a good backup of my data (not necessarily my settings) | 05:12 |
| dr_willis | chaz68: cant say ive heard anyone in here with huge log file issues | 05:12 |

| lawlz | no.. | 05:15 |
| lawlz | 1 sec | 05:15 |
| Vivekananda | holstein: I am simply asking you this. Are you sure that installing a new os on a blank primary disk is the Same is copying all root files from another working system into the new blank disk. I dont think this is the case. If it were then we would need to create bootstrapping and bootloader partition and all that during an install process. What I mean to ask/say is that installing and copying are NOt the same in the case o | 05:15 |
| Vivekananda | f installing a new OS unless of course it is a diskimage you are copying. Also I already have /home back but that is irrelevant to the question isnt it ? | 05:15 |
| lawlz | the servers are fine... my laptop wont let me save anything from ftp unless i run the client in sudo... | 05:16 |
| dr_willis | and where are you saveing them to? | 05:16 |
| holstein | lawlz: maybe in places where you dont have permission | 05:16 |
| lawlz | my desktop | 05:16 |
| holstein | lawlz: i would say, ftp as root should be done with care, and maybe not at all | 05:16 |
| dr_willis | sounds like you got permissions all messed up somehow | 05:16 |
| lawlz | im only touching my own servers. | 05:16 |
| chaz68 | lawlz: Is this a big time FTP site or you just making a quick one for a few users? | 05:16 |

| Smok3 | How do you know that? | 05:26 |
| mysteriousdarren | Smok3: not really just on a server that I connect to so I never have to get off irc, and it says safe | 05:26 |
| Smok3 | I've never heard that | 05:26 |
| chaz68 | Ubuntu Phone - would like to see a real one in the wild... Anyone try loading it on their device? | 05:26 |
| AcidRain | ive had iphone. and ive had android. id pick the first android phone ever over the best jailbroken iphone | 05:26 |
| iceroot | chaz68: #ubuntu-phone | 05:26 |
| === yano1 is now known as yano | ||
| dr_willis | theres no real info/stuff out about the phone yet.. so we all will have to wait and see | 05:26 |
| Smok3 | that would be awesome though | 05:26 |
| chaz68 | iceroot: thanks... didn't know they had a channel already... | 05:27 |
| AcidRain | dr_willis im pretty sure ive seen youtube videos of people loading ubuntu onto an android. also onto ps3 and xbox360 | 05:27 |
| Smok3 | call it UbuntuX | 05:27 |
| akiva-mobile | I'm trying to install ubuntu on my thinkpad x60 by installing the image on the ssd on my desktop, and then throwing it into the laptop. After doing this however, I can't get past my grub. Suggestions? | 05:27 |
| Smok3 | "yo man that new phone UbuntuX is awesome, I just used aircrack-ng to hack my neighbor | 05:27 |
| Smok3 | 's wifi" | 05:27 |
| Smok3 | thats the main reason i installed ubuntu. To learn about linux and to use Aircrack-ng | 05:28 |
| AcidRain | there is currently no android device that allows for arp injection | 05:28 |
| dr_willis | AcidRain: those are in a vm type thing. not the same as what is supposed to be comming out | 05:28 |
| AcidRain | aircrack-ng is also a security testing tool. not a hacking tool ;) | 05:28 |
| Smok3 | :) | 05:28 |
| Smok3 | hahaha | 05:29 |
| Smok3 | AcidRain do you know how to use it? | 05:29 |
| Smok3 | for some reason it will not install correctly on my comp. | 05:29 |
| AcidRain | i actually wrote a tutorial on "testing your security" with aircrack in ubuntu | 05:29 |
| AcidRain | let me see if i can find it | 05:29 |
| Smok3 | Do you need the AirPcap card? | 05:29 |
| Smok3 | that would be awesome | 05:29 |
| AcidRain | no | 05:29 |
| Smok3 | well one big problem of mine is that my Ubuntu does not recognize my WiFi card. only ethernet | 05:30 |
| holstein | Smok3: you can run "lspci" in the terminal, and see that ubuntu likely does recognize it.. maybe the vendor has not provided linux drivers | 05:31 |
| Delux | any idea why sda2, which shows as part of a RAID in both mdadm --detail and /proc/mdstat but when listing with fdisk -l it does not show up and only shows sda1 ? | 05:33 |

| akiva-mobile | I'm trying to install ubuntu on my thinkpad x60 by installing the image on the ssd on my desktop, and then throwing it into the laptop. After doing this however, I can't get past my grub. Suggestions? | 05:42 |
| akiva-mobile | Sorry for the double post | 05:42 |
| AcidRain | akiva-mobile, what do you see at grub screen? | 05:42 |
| holstein | AcidRain: you should ask in a windows channel about windows chat clients.. maybe try the offtopic channels for chat | 05:42 |
| akiva-mobile | The menu | 05:42 |
| akiva-mobile | As it should be | 05:42 |
| AcidRain | akiva-mobile, and did you select the first option? | 05:43 |
| akiva-mobile | But loading an image just gets me the blinking _ | 05:43 |
| akiva-mobile | Yes | 05:43 |
| holstein | akiva-mobile: can you get to grub? to a recovery console? | 05:43 |
| akiva-mobile | Yes | 05:43 |
| AcidRain | akiva-mobile, do you have any external drives connected? | 05:43 |
| akiva-mobile | No. | 05:43 |
| AcidRain | akiva-mobile, i rly cant help then. sry man | 05:43 |
| dr_willis | you can get xchat variants for windows . ;) | 05:44 |
| akiva-mobile | Acidrain I could perhaps void the ol external, and toss a working hdd in | 05:44 |
| AcidRain | akiva-mobile, ? is there any external devices attached to your computer whatsoever? | 05:45 |
| akiva-mobile | I have a desktop and a lappy | 05:45 |
| akiva-mobile | Desktop is what I'm using to install the image on the ssd | 05:46 |
| AcidRain | based off your previous statement you still havent answered the question | 05:46 |
| akiva-mobile | Because the lappy has no cdrom | 05:46 |
| akiva-mobile | No external devices attached to lappy | 05:46 |
| akiva-mobile | Desktop is working. | 05:46 |
| holstein | akiva-mobile: maybe just install from USB on the "lappy" | 05:46 |
| AcidRain | lol. yeah. go get a usb man | 05:47 |
| akiva-mobile | Meh... I need it now | 05:47 |
| AcidRain | u dont have that ol thumb drive that everyone was required to buy in 9th grade? | 05:47 |
| AcidRain | :/ | 05:47 |
| ChaozHenchman | when was your laptop made? | 05:47 |
| akiva-mobile | Those things last a year | 05:48 |
| holstein | akiva-mobile: i would try the recovery steps | 05:48 |
| akiva-mobile | Then the flash is totally corrupt. | 05:48 |
| holstein | akiva-mobile: the drive you are installing to? | 05:48 |
| akiva-mobile | Recovery steps? | 05:48 |
| AcidRain | akiva-mobile, perhaps use a bash script to automatically backup flash drive to internal hdd when attached? ;) | 05:48 |
| holstein | akiva-mobile: in the recovery console you said you can get to from grub... for recovering the graphics, etc | 05:48 |
| robotnut | hi all | 05:49 |
| AcidRain | ive had a 1gig flash drive for 8yrs btw. just sayin | 05:49 |
| ChaozHenchman | I have one that's about 5 and a half years old | 05:49 |
| akiva-mobile | I hate typing on this phone. Look, my installation works. What doesn't work is when I take the installation, on the ssd, and throw it into the lappy | 05:49 |
| akiva-mobile | There, I make it to the grub. After that, nothing. | 05:50 |
| AcidRain | akiva-mobile, it doesnt work that way | 05:50 |
| iceroot | akiva-mobile: you changed the UUID in /etc/fstab and grub? | 05:50 |
| AcidRain | ^ | 05:50 |
| akiva-mobile | No, I was looking at the grub before. | 05:50 |
| robotnut | anyone set up samba4 using win7pro clients? | 05:50 |
| akiva-mobile | Fstab | 05:50 |
| akiva-mobile | No idea what that is. | 05:50 |
| iceroot | !fstab | akiva-mobile | 05:51 |
| ubottu | akiva-mobile: The /etc/fstab file indicates how drive partitions are to be used or otherwise integrated into the file system. See https://help.ubuntu.com/community/Fstab and http://www.tuxfiles.org/linuxhelp/fstab.html and !Partitions | 05:51 |
| akiva-mobile | Uuid, that's all I need to change in both? | 05:51 |
| AcidRain | thats a start to identifying the issue | 05:51 |
| iceroot | akiva-mobile: there are a few other changes needed but to boot the system UUID should be enough | 05:51 |
| iceroot | akiva-mobile: what will not work is if you copied the installation to an UEFI-system | 05:52 |
| akiva-mobile | Can I just boot from bash, and sudo update-grub2? | 05:52 |
| iceroot | akiva-mobile: a live-cd is needed for that | 05:52 |
| akiva-mobile | I doubt this 20006 lappy has efi | 05:52 |
| iceroot | akiva-mobile: i guess in 20006 there are much more evil things then ust uefi ;) | 05:53 |
| akiva-mobile | So I can't just chang the boot params at my grub? | 05:53 |
| iceroot | akiva-mobile: of course, just press "e" on a line in grub to enter the edit mode | 05:53 |
| AcidRain | i hate terminal based editors | 05:54 |
| AcidRain | :( | 05:54 |
| akiva-mobile | And then, change appropriately to boot, and then once loaded, sudo update-grub2? | 05:54 |
| bulletrulz | yeah hi im trying to do something on skype im trying to make the input of the call my speakers how do i do it? | 05:54 |

| akiva-mobile | Ie, you want todo soundboard prank calls. | 05:55 |
| akiva-mobile | Right? | 05:55 |
| bulletrulz | akiva-mobile, how did u know lol | 05:56 |
| dr_willis | !skype | 05:56 |
| ubottu | To install Skype on Ubuntu, see https://help.ubuntu.com/community/Skype - To record on Skype, check: https://wiki.ubuntu.com/SkypeRecordingHowto - Please use open protocols instead if you can, see !Ekiga | 05:56 |
| akiva-mobile | Bulletrulz: are you serious? | 05:56 |
| dr_willis | I imaine it would be similer to the skype recording method | 05:56 |
| bulletrulz | akiva-mobile, yes but how to make it so the i can? | 05:56 |
| AcidRain | bulletrulz, buy a mic? :/ | 05:57 |
| akiva-mobile | Its not easy, but its straightforward. | 05:57 |
| bulletrulz | ok akiva-mobile how to do it? | 05:57 |
| AcidRain | !google | bulletrulz | 05:57 |
| ubottu | bulletrulz: While Google is useful for helpers, many newer users don't have the google-fu yet. Please don't tell people to "google it" when they ask a question. | 05:57 |
| akiva-mobile | No, he wants t to stream his internal sound as his output on skype. | 05:57 |
| AcidRain | lol | 05:57 |
| bulletrulz | yea i wanna call people with dr.phil and be like hows it going | 05:58 |
| AcidRain | bulletrulz, id try using JACK audio | 05:58 |
| akiva-mobile | Bulletrulez, google is tough, cause you have to know the term | 05:58 |
| akiva-mobile | Search for stereomix ubuntu | 05:58 |
| bulletrulz | akiva-mobile, but you know how to do it? | 05:58 |
| bulletrulz | ok | 05:58 |
| dr_willis | askubuntu.com may also have guides | 05:58 |
| akiva-mobile | I've done it | 05:58 |
| akiva-mobile | On windows and ubuntu | 05:58 |
| AcidRain | akiva-mobile, then again, you could google for the term, then make a proper google | 05:58 |
| robotnut | is there a UI for webmin to use samba4? | 05:59 |
| akiva-mobile | Sound is so bloody complicated on both though. | 05:59 |
| bulletrulz | akiva-mobile, wait wont the people im calling hear them selfs? | 05:59 |
| dr_willis | robotnut: best to not use webmin | 05:59 |
| dr_willis | !ebox | 05:59 |

| AcidRain | i think google is the greatest thing ever. i have... perhaps 2 times in my entire life had to look past the first 3 google results based off my search | 05:59 |
| akiva-mobile | Bulletrulez that's why its complicated. What you do though | 05:59 |
| robotnut | webmin module preferred | 05:59 |
| dr_willis | !webmin | robotnut | 05:59 |
| ubottu | robotnut: 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. | 05:59 |
| akiva-mobile | Is you set your output on skype to something else. | 06:00 |
| robotnut | ubottu - what is the replacement then? | 06:00 |
| ubottu | I am only a bot, please don't think I'm intelligent :) | 06:00 |

| AcidRain | robotnut, if you want remote manegement, you should perhaps code it yourself. ive done it with a few things. webmin even warns you that it could break your system. and i think it was deemed unsecure | 06:00 |

| dr_willis | thufir_: download the packages from their web site. and install them | 06:14 |
| dr_willis | thats what most of the ppa's do. - they just have scripts to automate it | 06:15 |
| chaz68 | dr_willis: probably right... But it was swelling like a mother by the minute all day today... Now nothing... | 06:15 |

| dr_willis | !java | 06:16 |
| ubottu | To just use java you need a "Java Runtime Environment" (JRE) and/or a browser plugin. If that is not sufficient you will need a "Java Development Kit" (JDK) aka "Software Development Kit" (SDK).

| g00053 | if i want to dual boot do I need to have a seperate /boot partition ? | 06:26 |
| cfhowlett | g00053, no you don't have to | 06:26 |
| flintser | cfhowlett: finally found a great looking guide, i was just looking with wrong keywords.. it is fot 11.10 but i think most/all of it will apply in 12.04 too. we had edubuntu environment in our high school, they were using ltsp :) | 06:27 |
| g00053 | okay , and how do I go about setting up my partitions so that windows doesn't make me reformat my entire hd ? | 06:27 |
| cfhowlett | flintser, sounds like you're on the path. best of luck. | 06:27 |

| g00053 | no no ...ubuntu is already installed | 06:27 |
| aeon-ltd | g00053: boy are in for some work then | 06:28 |

| aeon-ltd | *are you | 06:28 |
| dr_willis | dawkirst: use screen and let them ssh in and watch it | 06:28 |
| chaz68 | g00053: Methinks you should install Windows first then Ubuntu... | 06:28 |
| dawkirst | dr_willis, no easier way? | 06:28 |
| dr_willis | dawkirst: or ssh to their box and pipe it to them | 06:28 |
| dr_willis | dawkirst: it all depends on the details | 06:28 |

| dawkirst | hm | 06:29 |
| silverone | for the touchpad* | 06:29 |
| cfhowlett | g00053, for sake of sanity, I concur. Install windows then ubuntu | 06:29 |
| chaz68 | g00053: Grub2 play much easier with the Windows after it is installed... | 06:29 |
| dawkirst | dr_willis, ok, thanks, let me explore all my avenues first | 06:29 |
| cfhowlett | silverone, settings > mouse | 06:29 |
| g00053 | dag | 06:29 |
| g00053 | i've been on this install for a while | 06:29 |
| aeon-ltd | g00053: ok, make space. install windows as if it were your first os. then reinstall grub so you can boot into ubuntu again. when installing windows make sure you choose the right partition and don't overwrite ubuntu | 06:29 |
| flintser | g00053: cfhowlett: is it possible to use gparted and create unallocated partition, then install win on it, then grub rescue? | 06:29 |
| silverone | cfhowlett: i've tried that but nothing happens | 06:29 |
| g00053 | the grub thing isn't the issue | 06:29 |
| g00053 | i can deal with that | 06:30 |
| cfhowlett | flintser, ah, if only t'were so easy, me lad. possible. REMOTELY possible. | 06:30 |
| g00053 | windows want to wipe the entire hd if you don't have a "system partition" | 06:30 |
| g00053 | which i though was referinng to a /boot partition | 06:30 |
| Zach_ | cfhowlett, do i need to talk to you here and not private chat? | 06:31 |
| cfhowlett | g00053, windows will allow you to partition less than 100% oof the hard drive | 06:31 |
| g00053 | yeah | 06:31 |
| cfhowlett | Zach_, put it in this channel please | 06:31 |
| flintser | i remember once doing that and ended up with backing up the linux partition afterwards, then doing clean windows install, then creating partition and dropping the backup there... | 06:31 |
| g00053 | but it wants to have a seperate 100 meg "system partition" as well and it doesn't create it unless the hd is wipes | 06:31 |
| cfhowlett | g00053, even so, assume your ubuntu partition will be toasted. Just start over. Save your data to a USB and installl windows..Workarounds rarely are worth the effort | 06:32 |
| cfhowlett | g00053, the system partition is a windows thing. live with it | 06:32 |

| Zach_ | I have been trying to install ubuntu or kubuntu on my new samsung windows 8 ultrabook, been having some major problems, the newest problem is, i get to the grub screen on my live usb and click "Go to Kubuntu" and 5 seconds later i get "Kernal Panic" I have a picture of the kernal panic screen if you need it, I have been trying to install 12.10 and have tried both Ubuntu and Kubuntu and... | 06:33 |
| Zach_ | ...have followed nearly every tutorial out there | 06:33 |
| cfhowlett | g00053, hey cup of coffee in between episodes of your favorite tv show and .... done | 06:33 |
| g00053 | yeah haha | 06:34 |
| * g00053 fires up his gas powered external for back up | 06:34 | |
| cfhowlett | Zach_, samsung? yep. You got bit. Download ubuntu 12.4.2 for the fix | 06:34 |
| Zach_ | lol its actually badass | 06:35 |
| chaz68 | cfhowlett: Zach_: Is this the EFI / UEFI problem? | 06:35 |
| cfhowlett | chaz68, my suspicion is yes. 12.04.2 has the fix though | 06:35 |
| Zach_ | that is possible, i currently have safe boot off | 06:36 |
| Zach_ | and most advanced settings in BIOS | 06:36 |
| iceroot | Zach_: wait! | 06:36 |
| chaz68 | cfhowlett: haven't run across this yet but have heard about it. Going to roll out a new mobo with UEFI tomorrow.... | 06:36 |
| cfhowlett | Zach_, seriously. read up on this. samsungs have been BRICKED due a some kind of internal glitch. Has happened on ubuntu AND windows. Stop mucking about, get 12.4.2 | 06:36 |
| AcidRain2013 | Zach_: i actually heard that microsoft is trying to make it as hard as possible for you to live a happy and free life. dr_willis and i talked about it the other night | 06:37 |
| Zach_ | I will cf | 06:37 |
| AcidRain2013 | cfhowlett: "bricked" is a powerful term | 06:37 |
| AcidRain2013 | and i dont believe that you can brick a computer... | 06:37 |
| Zach_ | he is right | 06:38 |
| cfhowlett | AcidRain2013, http://www.geek.com/articles/chips/not-good-samsung-uefi-laptops-can-brick-when-booting-ubuntu-20130130/ | 06:38 |
| iceroot | Zach_: read this before http://www.h-online.com/open/news/item/Booting-Linux-using-UEFI-can-brick-Samsung-laptops-1793958.html | 06:38 |
| chaz68 | AcidRain2013: Unless you send it to Gigabyte RMA... Then they will send you a bricked mobo back and tell you they fixed it.... :-) | 06:38 |
| flintser | ot: steam for linux <3 i think i'll be soon able to drop windowdows for good | 06:38 |
| Zach_ | i have read the same thing, i have a Series 5 UltraTouch and have not seen anything about it, the problems are usually with a Series 7 or 9 | 06:38 |
| AcidRain2013 | cfhowlett: so your telling me that linux actually makes changes to the mobo? | 06:38 |
| AcidRain2013 | :/ | 06:38 |
| dr_willis | only about 10% of my steam games have linux ports | 06:39 |
| iceroot | AcidRain2013: to the firmware | 06:39 |
| flintser | dr_willis: thats why i said soon | 06:39 |
| cfhowlett | AcidRain2013, as stated the issue has arisen with linux AND WINDOWS ... | 06:39 |
| dr_willis | The bricking can happen in windows in some cases ive seen... | 06:39 |
| iceroot | AcidRain2013: and its not a linux-problem, you can kill the firmware with windows too | 06:39 |
| flintser | tf and trine works :) that is almost enough... | 06:39 |
| AcidRain2013 | iceroot: why use linux or windows to update firmware to a mobo when you can go to the manufacurer and download from the website their new updates? | 06:40 |
| AcidRain2013 | im just not sure im understanding this properly | 06:40 |
| iceroot | AcidRain2013: read the article | 06:40 |
| AcidRain2013 | im reading the one that cfhowlett posted? | 06:40 |
| cfhowlett | AcidRain2013, and most mobo manufacturers have NOT posted a kernel fix on this one yet. | 06:40 |
| iceroot | AcidRain2013: its not "updating the firmware" its "using values from uefi which is stored in the system and the values are bigger then the allowed size for the variables" | 06:40 |
| AcidRain2013 | iceroot: so it causes something like a bad ass buffer overflow? | 06:41 |
| AAA | iceroot: I missed the first of this conversation. are you guys talking about coreboot? | 06:41 |
| cfhowlett | AAA, samsung efi brick | 06:41 |
| iceroot | AcidRain2013: something like that, yes | 06:41 |
| iceroot | AcidRain2013: and the bug is the firmware itself not ubuntu and not windows | 06:41 |
| AcidRain2013 | ok, brb, reading now | 06:42 |
| AcidRain2013 | oh that was a short read >_> | 06:42 |
| Zach_ | will Kubuntu 12.04 work too? | 06:42 |
| AcidRain2013 | !efi | 06:43 |
| ubottu | 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 | 06:43 |
| cfhowlett | Zach_, 12.4.2 | 06:43 |
| Zach_ | ok | 06:43 |
| AcidRain2013 | uefi sounds pointless if u ask me | 06:43 |
| cfhowlett | Zach_, as I understand all OFFICIAL ubuntu flavors have the fix as of 12.4.2 | 06:43 |
| Zach_ | thank you | 06:44 |
| iceroot | cfhowlett: the bug is in the firmware so ubuntu can not fix the real bug | 06:44 |
| AcidRain2013 | thats like trying to create something better than the cell phone. NOT the software or its protocol technologies, but a completely different device in all | 06:44 |
| cfhowlett | iceroot, exactly. "fix" is incorrect. workaround is better | 06:44 |
| iceroot | cfhowlett: 12.04.2 is just not using the kernel-modul which is using the bug in the firmware | 06:44 |
| Zach_ | and it would be the amd64 version right? | 06:46 |
| cfhowlett | Zach_, for your lappy? yes. | 06:46 |
| AcidRain2013 | ewwww. luckily i never even attempted to use efi. cause i remember my computer asking me at one point. and i was like wtf this stupid ass new stuff. *clicks on bios option* | 06:46 |

| AAA | mutanic: do you have a specific question? | 07:36 |
| robotnut | aaa, well they havent released a phone with yet | 07:36 |
| robotnut | website states you can install it - but it only works with android and when you plug in as a desktop | 07:36 |
| robotnut | so its more of a hack | 07:37 |
| robotnut | im curious about phone, tablet use of ubutu as it stands now - if anyone is actively using it etc etc | 07:37 |
| AAA | robotnut: all good things start as 'just a hack' ;-) | 07:37 |
| robotnut | aaa, agreed | 07:37 |
| robotnut | however - looking for something stable enough to make a switch | 07:37 |
| mutanic | I just execute apt-get upgrade, later on I'm getting something saying that I'm missing ruby1.9.1 gem, gem executable won't run | 07:37 |
| robotnut | im on ios right now and i cant take it anymore | 07:37 |
| AAA | still 8:22:24 left to see what the tick,tock riddle _really_ means | 07:37 |
| robotnut | im about to throw my iphone, ipad and apple tv out the window | 07:37 |
| dr_willis | some ubuntu tablet anoucement in like... 8 hrs from now. | 07:38 |
| mutanic | how to fix ths? I already do the research but still unable to fix it | 07:38 |
| mutanic | anyone? | 07:39 |
| vishnuku | hi | 07:39 |
| robotnut | dr_willis, yeah been watching that | 07:40 |
| robotnut | i hope they officially launch a tablet with ubuntu or something | 07:40 |
| robotnut | preferably one from a large vendor | 07:40 |
| Rabblerouser | Upgrading to 13.04 alpha since I'm about to wipe this partition anyways. How long of a wait am I in for? | 07:42 |
| dr_willis | like i need another tablet. ;) i got like 4 now. | 07:42 |
| vishnuku | #java | 07:42 |
| robotnut | well as soon as i see something worth while - im trading in all my ios devices for something better | 07:42 |
| dr_willis | Rabblerouser: it will be like 1.x+gb of data.. | 07:43 |
| robotnut | android has my attention - i.e. nexus | 07:43 |
| robotnut | however - im paranoid with google | 07:43 |
| robotnut | so would rather have something independent | 07:43 |
| dr_willis | but you trust apple? :P | 07:43 |
| robotnut | nope | 07:43 |
| robotnut | been wanting to move away from it | 07:43 |
| dr_willis | you must have at one time.. to buy 3 of their devivces. | 07:43 |
| robotnut | but i got all the ios devices i have as gifts so i figured id use them until they die | 07:43 |
| robotnut | here i am 5 years later | 07:44 |
| robotnut | lol | 07:44 |
| dr_willis | I cant really imagine what i would do with a Ubuntu tablet. that i dont allready do on my android tablets. | 07:44 |
| robotnut | same thing | 07:44 |
| robotnut | just not a part of google | 07:44 |
| robotnut | thats all | 07:44 |
| dr_willis | i dont see why the vendor name matters that much | 07:45 |
| dr_willis | its still googles Os | 07:45 |
| robotnut | hrmmmm | 07:45 |
| robotnut | not really | 07:45 |
| robotnut | android is google | 07:45 |
| robotnut | ubuntu is not | 07:45 |
| FloodBot1 | robotnut: Please don't flood; use http://paste.ubuntu.com to paste; don't use Enter as punctuation. | 07:45 |
| robotnut | unless im mistaken here | 07:45 |
| dr_willis | on the phone - i thought both ran side by side. but ive not seen any real info on that. | 07:46 |
| Michiellllaptop | ola, I have a problem updating... anyone who I may bother? --- I get this error: http://i.imgur.com/qrBDKsH.png : I did both, yet it keeps telling me the same | 07:47 |
| vnc786 | on my MB i m having vga and hdmi port and using ubuntu and xp so question is can i share my screen with other monitor with HDMI and my console will be thru vga | 07:47 |
| vnc786 | hello everyone.. | 07:47 |
| dr_willis | Michiellllaptop: what does df show for your /boot/ partition? | 07:48 |
| Michiellllaptop | df? | 07:48 |
| dr_willis | the command is df yes.,. | 07:49 |
| Michiellllaptop | /dev/sda7 103129 74363 23442 77% /boot | 07:49 |
| dr_willis | now try df -h to see it in human terms. ;) | 07:49 |
| Michiellllaptop | /dev/sda7 101M 73M 23M 77% /boot | 07:50 |
| dr_willis | Your /boot/ is 101mb? thats way way tiny | 07:50 |
| Michiellllaptop | ok, it's been like that for ages | 07:50 |
| Michiellllaptop | can I make it bigger? | 07:50 |
| dr_willis | cd /boot/ | 07:51 |
| dr_willis | then see how many kernels you got installed. | 07:51 |
| dr_willis | http://askubuntu.com/questions/2793/how-do-i-to-remove-or-hide-old-kernel-versions-to-clean-up-the-boot-menu | 07:52 |
| dr_willis | you should uninstall all but the 2 newest normally. always keep at least one old working kernel | 07:52 |
| Michiellllaptop | http://i.imgur.com/xYUEEdX.png | 07:52 |

| flintser | does nvidia-current just install the same driver as i can get from http://www.nvidia.com/object/linux-display-ia32-310.32-driver.html | 07:54 |
| Michiellllaptop | i need synaptic to do that? i can't just do it manually? | 07:54 |
| dr_willis | that guide i posted mentions like 5+ ways to do it | 07:55 |
| === atrius is now known as atrius_away | ||
| dr_willis | flintser: should the same if the versions are the same. but i think the .deb does some other things.. and is suitable to be auto-updated and so forth. so its best to use the .deb/repos version | 07:56 |
| oldude67 | i also look at it this way, if it has a .deb/ repo version then its usually quite stable. | 07:59 |
| vnc786 | on my MB i m having vga and hdmi port and using ubuntu so question is can i share my screen with other monitor with HDMI and my console will be thru vga | 08:00 |
| Michiellllaptop | dr_willis, thanks! :) | 08:00 |

| dr_willis | darkmutt: if they dont have a proper .desktop files for the apps - that may be an iussue | 08:12 |
| SushiDude | But why does apt-get autoremove not get rid of all of these unneeded kernels? | 08:12 |
| dr_willis | SushiDude: what if you DO need them? | 08:12 |

| Rabblerouser | Where does Grub point to for Ubuntu? | 08:13 |
| dr_willis | keep at least 2-3 old kernels.. just in case | 08:13 |
| dr_willis | Rabblerouser: what? | 08:13 |

| _Dude_ | so that problem i was having yesterday - i just let the package manager uninstall the xorg quantal packages included with 12.04.2 and downgrade to the ones that come with 12.04.1 when installing the ia32-libs and (knock on wood) everything seems stable | 08:15 |
| _Dude_ | steam is installing | 08:15 |
| darkmutt | !unity | 08:15 |
| ubottu | Unity is the default UI since Ubuntu 11.04. Unity is a shell for GNOME. see http://unity.ubuntu.com. For a GNOME 2-like experience, see !notunity | 08:15 |
| Rabblerouser | I set up GRUB was installed to the Ubuntu partition, then made a grub.bin with a terminal command, and set my boot.ini to point to the grub.bin so I didn't remove my original bootloader (don't knock the method D:). Was wondering if Grub pointed to places like the boot.ini does | 08:16 |
| === giovanni is now known as Guest55035 | ||
| dr_willis | look at the /boot/grub/grub.cfg to see how it looks for things/files and so forth | 08:17 |
| Rabblerouser | Ah, thanks | 08:18 |
| leotr | hello! I found in ubuntu-server-12.04.2.iso image in directory preseed following files: cli.seed, ubuntu-server-minimal.seed, ubuntu-server-minimavm.seed and ubuntu-server.seed. In isolinux/txt.cfg menu there is Install Ubuntu Server option that refers to ubuntu-server.seed. Does anything refer to cli.seed or ubuntu-server-minimal.seed? | 08:18 |
| dr_willis | I tend to have windows on one HD and ubuntu on a 2nd.. | 08:18 |
| dr_willis | no need to do fancy things. | 08:18 |
| SushiDude | Now /boot has space but how do I make sure that the latest version of the kernel is install properly? | 08:19 |
| cfhowlett | leotr, perhaps a question for #ubuntu-server ??? | 08:19 |
| SushiDude | installed* | 08:19 |
| leotr | cfhowlett: wow, thanks | 08:20 |
| dr_willis | if you did a apt-get update. apt-get upgrade. it should pull in the latest. or a sudo apt-get dist-upgrade SushiDude | 08:20 |
| dr_willis | SushiDude: this is why you keep 2-3 old kernels.. if the latest fails.. you boot to an earlier one | 08:20 |
| cristian_c | Hi | 08:21 |
| cristian_c | I turned on the suspension, but when I resume not everything is as before | 08:21 |
| Rabblerouser | What's the difference between upgrade and dist-upgrade | 08:21 |
| cristian_c | for example, the chromium browser is no longer opened | 08:21 |
| cristian_c | If I launch it from terminal, I get: pcilib: Cannot open /sys/bus/pci/devices/0000:00:02.1/resource: File or directory not found | 08:22 |
| cristian_c | that would be the output of the monitor, but I have no other information | 08:22 |
| cristian_c | Any ideas? | 08:22 |
| dr_willis | cristian_c: if you reboot it all works, untill try to suspend/restore again? | 08:22 |
| cfhowlett | Rabblerouser, dist-upgrade pulls in packages that have been added to the current release. upgrade merely upgrades the installed packages. | 08:23 |
| darkmutt | so how would I lock something to unity sidebar if it doesn't have a proper .desktop file? | 08:23 |
| cristian_c | dr_willis, after suspension and resume, I think pc is not rebooted, because the logout is not executed (a black screen with strigns appears) | 08:24 |
| cristian_c | *strings | 08:24 |
| dr_willis | suspend dosent work well with all hardware. I never use the feature. | 08:26 |
| dr_willis | hibernate - may or may not work better. | 08:26 |
| cristian_c | dr_willis, I'll try to reboot after suspension/resume | 08:26 |

| jwtiyar | i have 12.04.1 lTS , its too laggy some times cpu goes to %99 , i cant do anyhting | 08:46 |
| _Dude_ | yes, like kubuntu or xubuntu, or just apt-get install your favorite desktop environment | 08:46 |
| dr_willis | you could check your xorg.conf and rename it if it exists. and restart. that might straighten it out. use lspci to see what chipset you got. since thats a core bit of info to know. | 08:46 |
| jwtiyar | i have activsted 2gb swap area | 08:46 |
| auronandace | the amount of people who avoid upgrading due to the _default_ desktop boggles my mind | 08:47 |

| darkmutt | how would i lock an application without .desktop files to the unity sidebar? | 09:11 |
| vnc786 | AAA: ok thanks | 09:11 |
| woofer | dr_willis, cause i want to be able to type ping moo instead of typing ping 192.168.1.2 | 09:11 |
| dr_willis | echo 'stuff with spaces' >> filename.txt | 09:11 |
| dr_willis | woofer: alias pmoo=ping 192.168.1.2 ;) | 09:11 |
| dr_willis | darkmutt: you could make a .desktop file for them | 09:12 |
| cfhowlett | What IS this? Downloaded 12.4.2. ISO passed md5sum. Made a USB. Ran USB md5sum check and ... see for yourself: http://imagebin.org/247256 | 09:12 |
| darkmutt | how? | 09:12 |
| dr_willis | when you boot the USB theres a verify option i recall | 09:12 |
| dr_willis | darkmutt: find a .desktop file. copy it.. edit it as needed | 09:12 |
| dr_willis | darkmutt: locate gedit.desktop | 09:12 |
| darkmutt | ok thanks | 09:12 |
| woofer | cfhowlett, what program did all that? | 09:12 |
| cfhowlett | woofer, wait 1 ... | 09:13 |
| AAA | cfhowlett: "+0 records out" what was your command line? it looks like you may be missing quotes too | 09:13 |
| cousteau | some program keeps deleting a gtk bookmark | 09:13 |
| === Sickki_ is now known as Sickki | ||
| AAA | cfhowlett: maybe you need to `reset`` your terminal | 09:14 |
| cousteau | it's an smb:// address, and the bookmark has spaces in the name. There has to be a program or something that "sanitizes" my ~/.gtk-bookmarks by deleting that entry periodically | 09:14 |
| cfhowlett | woofer AAA used the "Check the CD" option ... but I made a USB. Hmm. Would that effect this? | 09:15 |
| cousteau | nautilus, pcmanfm and thunar all understand that bookmark, so I don't know what program can be | 09:15 |
| cfhowlett | https://help.ubuntu.com/community/HowToMD5SUM | 09:15 |

| woofer | cfhowlett, i do'nt know what AAA is.... sorry dude. | 09:16 |

| dr_willis | bash basics, ;) | 09:19 |
| AAA | cfhowlett: when you do mdfsum /path/to/your/ubuntu.iso do you get an md5sum as the output? | 09:19 |
| AAA | cfhowlett: and I really mead md5sum | 09:20 |
| ubuntuw1204 | AAA yes md5sum your .iso | 09:20 |
| cfhowlett | AAA iso checked clean. Was attempting to verify a newly created boot USB using the recommended process. Disregard last line of output but this was the method http://paste.ubuntu.com/1680671/ | 09:21 |
| woofer | dr_willis, i get this: | 09:21 |

| woofer | ? why do i have to do this tee stuff? cause echo can't use sudo? | 09:22 |
| llutz | woofer: redirections doesn't work with sudo | 09:22 |
| woofer | roger that. | 09:22 |
| code-ph0y | hey guys can someone tell me why I can't make a folder in htdocs? | 09:23 |
| AAA | llutz: what? file redirection work with sudo? what? please explain | 09:23 |
| llutz | woofer: your sudo echo ends at > and doesnt afffect the file behind (so you get permission error) | 09:23 |
| woofer | what exactly does the tee command do / what's it used for? | 09:23 |
| llutz | woofer: man tee | 09:23 |
| llutz | aaa "doesn't" | 09:23 |
| woofer | who reads man file? | 09:23 |
| woofer | if we all did there wouldn't be a help channel. | 09:23 |
| code-ph0y | is it chmod? | 09:24 |
| llutz | you got somethin wrong woofer | 09:24 |
| packetfrog | Is there a simple way to install all the manpages/docs/what not for all my installed applications/kernel/modules/everything... | 09:24 |
| dr_willis | they are in the repos/packae manager lists | 09:25 |
| AAA | llutz: if a user authenticates with sudo then the command and is executed as that user. why do you think that doesn't work with file permissions? | 09:25 |
| dr_willis | most get installed automatically | 09:25 |
| dr_willis | !man | 09:25 |

| packetfrog | Thanks. | 09:26 |
| cfhowlett | g00053, congrats. Go forward, be safe, have fun | 09:26 |
| woofer | llutz, what's this AAA you're talking about? | 09:26 |
| AAA | llutz: ok. I didn't see the full command. can you give the pastebin link? | 09:27 |
| g00053 | cfhowlett, thanks for your help | 09:27 |
| woofer | ooh, sorry, AAA is a dude in here. hahah. i'm dumb. | 09:27 |
| cfhowlett | g00053, no worries | 09:27 |
| llutz | AAA: any "sudo echo foo > bar" will fail, thats what he tried | 09:27 |
| llutz | AAA: will fail if bar needs root-permissions* | 09:27 |
| code-ph0y | how do you login as root? | 09:28 |
| cfhowlett | !root|code-ph0y, | 09:28 |
| ubottu | code-ph0y,: 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 | 09:28 |
| code-ph0y | lmao | 09:28 |
| code-ph0y | loving it! | 09:29 |
| AAA | llutz: that is a quote issue. sudo `echo foo > bar` should create a bar file with the contents of foo | 09:29 |
| llutz | AAA no its not . The file after the > is not open by the process running under sudo, but by the shell, which isn't | 09:29 |
| woofer | how come a long time ago i heard that su stood for suppose user and not super user ? | 09:29 |
| woofer | and sudo meant suppose user do | 09:30 |
| llutz | AAA: sudo -c sh "echo foo >bar" would do | 09:30 |
| dr_willis | su = switch user | 09:31 |
| dr_willis | you dont su to root in ubuntu. you use sudo | 09:31 |
| llutz | AAA: and btw using backticks will give an error | 09:32 |
| woofer | suppose user switch user super user ....... hmmm dont know what to believe. | 09:32 |
| woofer | thanks llutz, that ... tee thingy is handy. | 09:32 |
| AAA | llutz: yeah, I was typing off the cuff. but you get waht I was saying | 09:32 |
| cfhowlett | woofer, switch user. test it yourself | 09:32 |
| llutz | AAA: i got it but you're still wrong :) | 09:32 |
| woofer | how would i test what you're saying? cfhowlett | 09:32 |
| AAA | su - change user ID or become superuser | 09:32 |
| AAA | llutz: yeah, I know. thanks for rubbing it in :) | 09:33 |
| dr_willis | since becoming root - is switching your user id to 0 | 09:33 |
| dr_willis | but thats disabled by default on ubuntu | 09:33 |
| llutz | su - substitute user | 09:33 |
| woofer | another definition of su !!!! | 09:33 |
| dr_willis | su = studly user | 09:33 |
| dr_willis | ;) | 09:33 |
| woofer | my puppy is soft user | 09:34 |
| cfhowlett | woofer, don't you have more than one user account? One for admin and one for daily use? su into the other account | 09:34 |
| woofer | right. i just have my one account. | 09:34 |
| llutz | some user, whatever. substitute is what we learned .. in thoses days. | 09:34 |
| dr_willis | supperdupper user | 09:34 |
| woofer | how would i then make a txt file and then whatever is in it append it to the end of another text file? | 09:34 |
| llutz | woofer: cat file >> file2 | 09:34 |
| woofer | dr_willis, that's only for backup accounts on a crapple computer. | 09:35 |

| === histo1 is now known as histo | ||
| MadsRC | nabblet, the timestamps changed, causing the checksum to change? | 09:58 |
| nabblet | MadsRC, i don't think so - otherwise any sha1sum would fail, wouldn't it? | 09:59 |
| histo | MadsRC: timestamps don't change checksums to change | 10:00 |

| nabblet | ^ that's the command | 10:02 |
| histo | nabblet: Try doing it locally to a different directory and see if the hash matches | 10:02 |
| nabblet | histo, before i do that i'll transfer the file from scratch | 10:04 |
| histo | nabblet: also maybe the transfer is stoping ransfer is stopping and partial is messing eiwth you. Check the file size on the other end. | 10:04 |
| nabblet | histo, file sizes are the same | 10:05 |

| invariant | Which program converts a CD wav file to a list of mp3 files? | 10:15 |
| histo | sveinse: you can add your own dns servers in network manager gui. Or add them to the resolvconf head file. | 10:15 |
| RajeevK | histo: All are root root | 10:15 |
| histo | invariant: ffmpeg or many others | 10:15 |
| histo | RajeevK: yes but the attributes??? | 10:15 |
| RajeevK | histo: 4096 | 10:15 |

| invariant | histo, I mean like a complete command then. | 10:16 |
| invariant | histo, saying ffmpeg is like saying that one needs to use a computer. | 10:16 |
| RajeevK | histo: one sec | 10:16 |
| histo | invariant: ffmpeg -i somefile.wav -o somefile.mp3 | 10:16 |

| harbor | quick question: how do i /list on an irc server using empathy? | 10:17 |
| invariant | histo, I want a list of mp3 files. | 10:17 |
| sveinse | histo: Well. resolv.conf is autogenerated by NM, so it will be overwritten. Secondly, I don't want to override the DHCP given dns server by either nic's. I just want some kind of metric mechanism for dns server. Is that possible? | 10:17 |

| histo | invariant: Keep in mind the ubuntu variant of ffmpeg used to not have mp3 support built in. I'm not sure if this is still the case. | 10:17 |
| invariant | histo, this just creates one and doesn't do silence detection, etc. | 10:17 |

| invariant | histo, actually, I would even prefer to get it in flac format. | 10:17 |
| RajeevK | histo: drwx-w-w 13 root root 4096 Feb 19 15:29 troop990 | 10:17 |
| invariant | histo, so, wav -> list of flac format. | 10:18 |
| histo | invariant: I'm sure ffmpeg may have an option to import multiple files. If not you could do something with find. like find . -iname '*.wav' -exec ffmpeg -i {} -o {*.mp3} /; not sure if this would work but my syntax maybe right. | 10:18 |
| invariant | histo, you didn't read what I said. | 10:19 |
| histo | invariant: ffmpeg uses the -o *.ogg if you want flac or whatever. | 10:19 |

| MaxFrames | when he tries to access it, he's requested super user authentication | 10:30 |
| MaxFrames | i.e. the partition is mounted but permissions don't allow him to access itr | 10:30 |
| dr_willis | you mount it from fstab with the right ntfs-3g options MaxFrames | 10:30 |
| dr_willis | or run ntfs-config and configure it that way | 10:30 |
| dr_willis | !ntfs-3g | 10:31 |

| [LgO]Aionicus | i got a rewriteable DVDR and a couple of usb sticks here , but its kinda stressing me out :( i long for the old bios | 11:00 |
| Kartagis | RajeevK: I usually extract it to /usr/local/bin/drush | 11:01 |
| Ondra | histo: I found a PPA, thank you. | 11:03 |
| RajeevK | Kartagis: Why I am not able to use simple copy & paste in this install...only CMD cp is working for copy | 11:04 |
| Kartagis | RajeevK: you could also do sudo apt-get install drush, but I'd recommend getting it from d.o | 11:04 |
| Kartagis | RajeevK: huh? | 11:04 |
| dr_willis | you are trying to drag/drop using the file manager? or did you run nautilus as root RajeevK ? | 11:04 |
| RajeevK | dr_willis: I am trying to copy paste from mouse right click or ctrl+c | 11:05 |
| ThinkT510 | RajeevK: from where to where? | 11:05 |
| dr_willis | RajeevK: so you are running a file manager window as a user. and you are tryng to copy to your users Home directory? or some system directory? | 11:05 |
| RajeevK | From Download folder to /usr/local/bin/ | 11:06 |
| dr_willis | RajeevK: and you do realize you need root/sudo rights to copy things to that directory? | 11:06 |
| [LgO]Aionicus | was about to say that willis :) | 11:06 |
| RajeevK | dr_willis: DOn't know | 11:07 |
| dr_willis | This is Kinda a fundamental concept with linux. | 11:07 |
| dr_willis | RajeevK: think about it.. You had a system with 100 users.. you think they all could just copy files to any system directories? | 11:07 |
| dr_willis | RajeevK: use sudo/gksudo and gain root rights then you can copy files to the system directories | 11:08 |
| [LgO]Aionicus | in order to move stuff around on linux RajeevK (outside your "my documents" equivelent from windows , your $home) you need the root right , so generally : | 11:08 |
| RajeevK | But I am logged in from admin user..right ? | 11:08 |
| [LgO]Aionicus | cd $home , cd Downloads , then sudo cp the files you wanna copy to /usr/local/bin | 11:08 |
| dr_willis | a admin user can GAIN root rights.. it does not always have root access | 11:09 |
| dr_willis | thats what sudo/gksudo does for you | 11:09 |
| dr_willis | elevates your power! | 11:09 |
| [LgO]Aionicus | sudo allows you to run stuff as admin without actually having to be root@box , you still need the pw for root thou | 11:09 |
| RajeevK | dr_willis: Ohk...that means I cant copy here from simply GUI but will have to use CMD | 11:09 |
| dr_willis | RajeevK: or run nautulus as root.. as i mentioned 10 min ago.. but thats a Bad habbit | 11:10 |
| [LgO]Aionicus | yep , unless you open up your filemanager with (sudo) rights | 11:10 |
| dr_willis | nautilus as root = ive seen peopel trash their systems with it.. | 11:10 |
| [LgO]Aionicus | oh willis , ive seen worse | 11:10 |
| RajeevK | dr_willis: Thanks | 11:11 |
| dr_willis | if i really want a file manager as root. i tend to open a shell and use 'sudo mc' ;) | 11:11 |
| Touhou11 | There's nothing wrong with using root if you're careful. Often people type "sudo" so often it becomes pointless | 11:11 |
| [LgO]Aionicus | ive seen people install windows 8 , and ruin my day with it ! :D | 11:11 |
| ThinkT510 | RajeevK: what are to trying to copy to /usr/loical/bin/ and why? | 11:11 |
| dr_willis | then i close the mc when im done | 11:11 |

| vnc786 | ubottu: do u know how do i share folder only for xp users with 777 perm since other user shuld not get view ... | 11:39 |
| ubottu | vnc786: I am only a bot, please don't think I'm intelligent :) | 11:39 |
| flintser | stan879nz: change the folder permissions so that only you can use it. 770 makes you, and your group to have all, and rest will have no permissions | 11:39 |
| Eagleman | Any idea why most MAC addresses dont get a respond from my ISP's dhcp server? | 11:40 |
| stan879nz | 770 thanks if the other users install there copies of the software would they clash if they were both running? | 11:40 |
| flintser | stan879nz: i'd like to hear the whole thing, what are you trying to do in what kind of environment? | 11:41 |
| Malsasa | Hello, is Size field necessary in debian/control file? Or just Installed-Size field? | 11:42 |
| stan879nz | everyone in my family has there own steam account and we all dont want to share the same file structure, so i would like everyone to have there own so they dont have to logout to change users | 11:44 |
| dr_willis | hmm.. do steam games install to the users home on linux? or a system wide location like they do on windows? | 11:44 |
| stan879nz | sys wide | 11:45 |
| flintser | stan879nz: logout from ubuntu or logout from steam? steam installs in home | 11:45 |
| dr_willis | steam is weird on linux. ;) theres parts of it on the system ive seen. then first run of it.. some stuff goes to the users home | 11:45 |
| flintser | steam installs globally, but games install in /home/user | 11:45 |
| flintser | and configs too go in /home/user/ | 11:46 |
| flintser | .steam is the folder | 11:46 |
| DJones | dr_willis: I would expect it'd be to /home, I was having a play on sunday and I needed a password to install steam itself, but I wasn't prompted for one when it got to installing a game | 11:46 |
| flintser | so stan879nz: you can just install steam, every user has their own folder in /home/user/.steam ehere the configurations and games go | 11:47 |
| cr000 | hi! i have installed kubuntu installed native and it is not able to run my wireless card, i want now to start it in a virtual machine to route the wireless through the vm as wire ethernet | 11:47 |
| flintser | no extra work to do | 11:48 |
| cr000 | is there a way to start the kubuntu native installation inside a vm without using vmware? | 11:48 |
| dr_willis | cr000: what os is running the vm? | 11:48 |
| cr000 | fedora18 64b | 11:49 |
| flintser | cr000: install virtualization platform, and theb you can just use the .iso and mount it in the vm | 11:49 |
| dr_willis | you can set up vbox to run from a real hard drive.. but its not reccomdnedd.. or you could image the installed hd to a image file and point vbox to that | 11:49 |
| dr_willis | seems weird that fedora has drives for the wifi but not ubuntu. | 11:49 |
| stan879nz | thanks for the info about were all the files are going. so we wouldnt be able to be login all at the same time because steam it self is global | 11:50 |
| flintser | stan879nz: actually i don't know, it might even be possible | 11:50 |
| flintser | cr000: you can do disk2vhd to create .vhd of the ACTUAL hard drive or partition | 11:51 |
| flintser | then mount it in vm | 11:51 |
| flintser | easier to just do clean install in vm | 11:51 |
| cr000 | it is important to use the kubuntu later natively, so using iso or make a vm-file of the real partition is no solution :( i will search vbox and try this possibility | 11:51 |
| flintser | cr000: ok, then do what dr_willis proposed. setup vbox to run from actual hard drive | 11:52 |
| cr000 | yes alredy downloading it ;) thanks for the help guys! | 11:53 |

| DTH0_ | judgen, it's not that it dies. Rather, AFAIK your system can only use one route at the same time. | 13:05 |
| cfhowlett | judgen, pretty sure ubuntu requires you select one or the other for use ... | 13:05 |

| DTH0_ | judgen, and it tends to use the more recent one. You can't use both interfaces to access Internet if that's what you mean. | 13:06 |

| dr_willis | Jeaton: not that ive really seen | 13:07 |

| Jeaton | yes, the window manager crashed, but I do have xchat running under the processes | 13:09 |
| DTH0_ | Jeaton, if gnome-session is still active try "Ctrl-Alt-T". And then "your-WM-command-whatever-it-is" or "cinnamon" | 13:09 |
| dr_willis | you can restart the window manager from a terminal if you can get one open | 13:09 |
| dr_willis | and knew its name | 13:09 |
| Jeaton | no, i got the window manager back running, but it didnt recover any active processes I had running | 13:09 |
| dr_willis | then i imagine they are all zombies. ;) | 13:10 |
| Jeaton | heh, ok | 13:10 |
| Jeaton | i might switch back to either gnome or unity, cinnamon has been a pain in the ass | 13:10 |

| DTH0_ | flintser, I found out that "gnome-control-center background" should do the job but it doesn't. Instead, it just opens overall control center... | 13:12 |

| Jeaton | i couldnt get use to unity, and I didnt like the new version of gnome | 13:12 |
| flintser | DTH0_: maybe they removed the gnome-appearance-properties and integrated all into gnome-control-center | 13:12 |
| dr_willis | unity works fine for me - has some neat features | 13:13 |
| rewarp | Jeaton. Tried KDE? | 13:13 |
| DTH0_ | flintser, yes but even so, I don't get why it's working anymore. | 13:13 |
| flintser | and gnome-control-center background puts me straight into desktop background selection screen | 13:13 |
| Jeaton | rewarp: yes, had KDE running right before cinnamon | 13:14 |
| DTH0_ | flintser, well it fails on me for some reason.. as stated already sends me back to general settings without Appearance button | 13:15 |
| rewarp | Jeaton. I went WM/DE hopping a few months back and settled on KDE. It does take a bit of customization before it feels right. | 13:16 |
| flintser | dr_willis: i use unity too. i hid the launcher by setting auto-hide and lowest possible sensitivity. if i want to use lens i just press super :) docky and gnome-do for launching apps | 13:17 |
| dr_willis | gnome-control-center backgroun dosent open any background settings here | 13:17 |

| sakkemo | Hi, I'd like to put my Downloads folder as well as latex output on tmpfs, and move the needed files to SSD/HDD only if needed. Any tips on good guides and/or warnings or experiences, or should I just trust Google? | 13:35 |
| ikonia | sakkemo: what are you unsure of ? | 13:35 |
| flintser | DTH0_: known bug is that while upgrading from 12.04 to 12.10 this might happen, and some icon themes make that too happen. have you tried other icon themes and rebooting? | 13:35 |
| flintser | i mean restarting x | 13:36 |
| DTH0_ | flintser, It wasn't an upgrade, just an update. And icon theme worked before update. I restarted after the update. | 13:37 |
| TakeItEZ | sakkemo: the unsecure factor of that is the user, missing to move some files before shutting down. | 13:38 |
| flintser | DTH0_: i'm confused... google doesnt help much either... if it is possible to re-install gnome-control-center it might help? someone more experienced might help you with that if it is doable | 13:38 |
| sakkemo | ikonia, TakeItEZ: rather, I'm asking if there's any drawbacks I should be aware of, besides the fact if I lose power I'd lose those files | 13:38 |

| ikonia | Eagleman: it doesn't work like that | 13:49 |

| ejv | the linux kernel is quite smart, it does inter-core load balancing; the source code is of course available, to see how it's implemented. | 13:52 |
| Eagleman | ikonia, i still dont understand | 13:52 |
| ikonia | Eagleman: think of your cpu as %100 and each core a % of it when you assign 2 core you are assigning % x 2 after hypervisor overhead, not 1 core = 1 core virtua/physical mapping | 13:53 |

| ikonia | R3TR0: sure | 14:02 |
| cfhowlett | R3TR0, of course. | 14:02 |
| R3TR0 | ok, this problem occurs kinda often | 14:02 |
| R3TR0 | so lets start | 14:02 |
| R3TR0 | ive installed ubuntu with the wubi installer, because i would like to use ubuntu to work and windows to play | 14:03 |
| R3TR0 | so i did | 14:03 |
| usr13 | mjolk_: Alt-Right-Arrow to go back to login screen, (tty7) | 14:03 |
| R3TR0 | ive installed drivers and updates and all that kind of stuff | 14:03 |
| R3TR0 | and after i went to bed, started my computer the other day and choose ubuntu | 14:03 |
| R3TR0 | there is that "loading" screen with ubuntu in the middle and 5 orange dots below it | 14:03 |
| R3TR0 | then i cant do anything except do a reboot with something like alt + strg + del | 14:04 |
| cfhowlett | R3TR0, ubuntu for work? y u no install ubuntu as the main OS and virtualbox for windows? | 14:04 |
| R3TR0 | im a student but if i would do something like search in the internet | 14:05 |
| R3TR0 | its quite useful to have these multiple desktops | 14:05 |
| geektech | you can download Wine or PlayonLinux | 14:05 |
| cfhowlett | R3TR0, windows 8? | 14:05 |
| R3TR0 | no, windows 7 | 14:05 |
| R3TR0 | the thing is, i dont want to have ubuntu as my main os because i dont got something like an installation cd for windows | 14:05 |
| R3TR0 | if i would mess something up, windows was already installed on my pc | 14:06 |
| cfhowlett | R3TR0, ok, long story short: wubi (windows installer) is for TESTING ubuntu. NOT long term installation. All the things that can break a windows installation are doubly likely to break your wubi ... fragmentation, all that stuff. | 14:06 |
| R3TR0 | ahh didnt knew that | 14:07 |
| cfhowlett | R3TR0, rather than wubi, install virtualbox in windows and put ubuntu inside the virtualbox is my 2 cents advice. | 14:07 |
| R3TR0 | i thought its just an installer to install it alongside windows | 14:07 |
| R3TR0 | ok, i will try that | 14:07 |
| R3TR0 | thanks for the advice | 14:07 |
| cfhowlett | R3TR0, common misconception, but not true. | 14:07 |
| cfhowlett | R3TR0, best of luck | 14:07 |
| usr13 | R3TR0: ... an unfortunate shortcoming (of Win7). But you are definately upside down. The best situation is to have Win7 as guest. | 14:07 |
| R3TR0 | yeah, if i fail i will come back i guess | 14:07 |
| cfhowlett | R3TR0, and get a ... legal win7 disk. just for fun. | 14:08 |
| R3TR0 | i didnt have windows 7 illegal | 14:08 |
| R3TR0 | *dont | 14:08 |
| R3TR0 | if you think that | 14:08 |
| usr13 | R3TR0: But the good news is that most accomplish a dual boot install with no problem. | 14:08 |
| cfhowlett | R3TR0, dual boot with win 7 is actually pretty easy. | 14:09 |
| R3TR0 | dual boot? | 14:09 |

| tdn | Ubuntu has /bin/sh as a symlink to /bin/dash. I have some legacy apps that require /bin/sh to behave like bash. Can I make Ubuntu have /bin/sh as /bin/bash? Do I break Ubuntu if I just do: rm -vf /bin/sh ; ln -s /bin/bash /bin/sh ? | 14:20 |
| mjolk_ | normally you should be able to mount this dir using ecryptfs-mount-private | 14:20 |

| escott | tdn, except they are shell scripts so you can edit them. | 14:27 |
| === ivan__ is now known as Leon912 | ||
| tdn | escott, nope, embedded in binaries. As I said: non-trivial. | 14:28 |
| escott | tdn, well you probably won't break init by changing the boot shell to bash. but it will be slower | 14:29 |
| ubuntuaddicted | anyone use a xbox 360 controller with linux gaming? i can't get Team Fortress 2 to work. i have tried both xpad and xboxdrv | 14:29 |

| MadEchidna | hey is anyone else getting some weird lag when playing flash content? | 14:30 |
| R3TR0_ | yeah im preparing to try a dual boot | 14:30 |
| R3TR0_ | but im quite unexperienced | 14:30 |
| R3TR0_ | or lets say absolutly unexperienced | 14:30 |
| MadEchidna | it's never been an issue for me before on this system but yesterday and today when I have flash going in the background, when I move the mouse around the sound skips | 14:30 |
| MadEchidna | it's not happening just this moment but it is happening on and off | 14:31 |

| usr13 | R323T: This is a Large Channel, (over 1700 nicks), it is a good idea to identify the person you are talking to with their exact nick at the beginning (or somplace in) your comment. (That way, we know to whom your comments are being directed.) | 14:35 |
| R3TR0_ | ahh ok | 14:36 |
| Touhou11 | wolftune: Did you use a "make install" command? If so, sometimes there's a "make uninstall" if the author is thoughtful | 14:36 |
| R3TR0_ | well i think i will just continue deleting some useless stuff | 14:36 |
| wolftune | Touhou11: oh hmm, I guess I can check | 14:36 |

| guest472 | hey | 14:37 |
| usr13 | R3TR0_: Sorry, wrong nick | 14:37 |
| R3TR0_ | hello | 14:37 |
| R3TR0_ | dont worry | 14:38 |
| usr13 | R3TR0_: Using auto-complete and wasn't paying much attention. | 14:38 |
| R3TR0_ | yeah dont worry | 14:38 |
| R3TR0_ | i think ill take it easy with that dual boot stuff | 14:38 |
| tdn | How do I system-wide change the default editor from nano to vim? | 14:38 |
| wolftune | ok, the dev did not include an uninstall, so that's not an option | 14:39 |
| usr13 | R3TR0_: Ok. But my advise is to just jump in with both feet. (In the end, you'll be glad you did.) "No guts, no glory" ;0 | 14:39 |
| wolftune | so I don't know how else to remove the thing to install the repo version now | 14:39 |
| R3TR0_ | yeah ill | 14:39 |
| R3TR0_ | when i have more time | 14:39 |
| usr13 | R3TR0_: Yes, by all means, set asside some time. Not only is there the install process, you'll want to do a lot of post-install work to get your system customized the way you want it. (And it's hard to stop once you get into it.) | 14:41 |
| === Guest25177 is now known as jdukiet | ||
| usr13 | R3TR0_: The install process will take 1&1/2 to 2 hrs but double that. | 14:41 |
| R3TR0_ | hmm | 14:42 |
| R3TR0_ | well i guess its worth it | 14:42 |
| usr13 | R3TR0_: Oh it is. It will not consume all your time during that period. Once the install is underway, you can leave it for a while, (probably 45min to an hour, depending on how fast your PC and Media Device are, and internet, etc...). | 14:43 |
| R3TR0_ | so what is the result? | 14:43 |
| d70 | hi, i want to install xfce along with gnome, im using ubuntu 12.04, anyone has done that? can help me? | 14:43 |

| falematte | Hey all! I am having problem with google-chrome on my ubuntu 12.04 LTS. When i browse the web sometimes some advertisements' pages open automatically. It didn't appen before. I think is a kind of virus. Anyone knows what to do? | 14:44 |
| === shiny is now known as sh1ny | ||
| === mv2a is now known as dsalkfjdsj | ||
| cfhowlett | falematte, not a virus...more likely a setting | 14:44 |
| === dsalkfjdsj is now known as blow | ||
| R3TR0_ | and how will i switch between them? like in the wubi installer at the start of the pc? | 14:44 |
| TakeItEZ | falematte: you want to install ad-block add-on | 14:45 |
| usr13 | R3TR0_: But what you'll find is that you will come to use one somewhat more than the other. (I'll leave you to guess which.) | 14:45 |
| falematte | cfhowlett, openadvertising is the name of the advertisment program i got i think | 14:45 |
| === wedgwood_away is now known as wedgwood | ||
| [LgO]Aionicus | tbh falematte : www.google.co.uk -> type in : chrome ad block plus , and chrome popup blocker | 14:45 |
| usr13 | R3TR0_: The boot screen will give options. | 14:45 |
| cfhowlett | falematte, use incognito mode in chrome, delete history and cookies. | 14:45 |
| blow | "Tick, tock, tablet time!" ??? | 14:45 |
| R3TR0_ | ubuntu? :P | 14:45 |
| falematte | [LgO]Aionicus, I already have the pop up blocker turned on | 14:45 |
| savagecroc | rsync -az --progress -e ssh website:/storage/masters /storage/masters << this command is not syncing everything .. any idea why? | 14:45 |
| [LgO]Aionicus | install those 2 and you should be fine , thou best bet would be to go back to firefox , chrome never was safe in my eyes , (google is always watching ^^) | 14:45 |
| falematte | cfhowlett, gonna try | 14:45 |

| ubottu | blow: The Ubuntu tablet can be discussed in #ubuntu-tablet or #ubuntu-discuss, please remember that #ubuntu is for support only. | 14:45 |

| usr13 | R3TR0_: After post, you'll see a boot screen with options to boot into Win7 or Ubuntu. You'll be allowed ample time to chose. | 14:46 |
| escott | savagecroc, what is it syncing | 14:46 |
| R3TR0_ | well, im playing a lot so ubuntu not for now, maybe if there will be more titles that will come for steam | 14:46 |
| savagecroc | escott: i think it must be missing hidden files or something | 14:46 |
| R3TR0_ | or better said titles that im playing | 14:46 |
| savagecroc | escott: basically i'm syncing a git repo | 14:46 |
| savagecroc | or a ton of git --bare repos to be precise | 14:47 |
| savagecroc | ohhhh maybe it's not copying symlinks | 14:47 |
| falematte | cfhowlett, I just did it- Iìll let you know in 5 min :D | 14:47 |
| DasJunge | So I have recently been trying to install Ubuntu 12.04 via USB and each time I do it I get a message saying its missing some file "vmlinuz" something like that. From what I can tell this is a result of a bad ISO. Well I have dowloaded ubuntu numerous times of the official site and each time I do it always does not match the MDSUM(i think thats the name) | 14:47 |
| DasJunge | what am I doing wrong? | 14:47 |
| cfhowlett | DasJunge, you're downloading. use the torrents instead. better error correction | 14:48 |
| [LgO]Aionicus | dasjunge your bootloader seems off | 14:48 |
| [LgO]Aionicus | what did you use to put it on the disk ? | 14:48 |
| DJones | DasJunge: How are you downloading? direct from the website or via torrent, I'd suggest trying the torrent download | 14:48 |
| === bean__ is now known as bean | ||
| DasJunge | I have been using the website but ill try the torrent | 14:48 |
| [LgO]Aionicus | if your from windows -> www.google.co.uk -> type in yumi installer and get that one , select your iso and hit ok , then it should work | 14:48 |
| d70 | cfhowlett, , DJones , thx! | 14:49 |

| cfhowlett | d70, no problem | 14:49 |
| DasJunge | I have been using unetbootin | 14:49 |
| DasJunge | Is that one bad? | 14:49 |
| savagecroc | rsycn --make-it-exactly-the-bloody-same /source /destination | 14:49 |
| TakeItEZ | savagecroc: it should, rsync -a includes -l (--links) | 14:49 |
| [LgO]Aionicus | unetbootin should work , but ive seen it act spliffy from time to time | 14:49 |
| DasJunge | alrighty | 14:49 |
| [LgO]Aionicus | i know from personal experience the yumi works great (and can also download the iso for you) | 14:49 |
| cfhowlett | DasJunge, no. it's fine, but a fragged ISO is a fragged ISO. Garbage in, garbage out | 14:49 |
| DasJunge | Ill try the torrent but it's really slow! | 14:49 |
| [LgO]Aionicus | dont | 14:50 |

| DasJunge | ubuntu | 14:50 |
| [LgO]Aionicus | ok | 14:50 |
| savagecroc | TakeItEz: i can't work out why when i run git rev-parse master on one it's different than the other.. the only explination i can think of is that the files are different and rsync is missing them | 14:50 |
| TakeItEZ | savagecroc: or do you have hardlinks? -H then | 14:50 |
| [LgO]Aionicus | 64 bit or 32 bit? | 14:50 |

| guest57894 | Hi. how does one make ls list the total file size output? Say, in a directory, you have 5 files where each is 200k. ? ls -lrt will only show each ofhte 5 files at 200k... but it will not report 1,000 k | 15:20 |
| wdnz | Oh right. | 15:20 |
| Haris | or is this ( url=http://server/u710a/preseed/web-server.preseed ) it ? | 15:20 |
| jrib | tdn: that's one way a user may change their preference, yes :) | 15:20 |

| dmku | escott it's not obligatory, for ex: du -hc *.png. But yes, when there is dirs in targets. | 15:28 |
| flintser | root of the source was /home/flintser/stepmania | 15:29 |

| Stranger | I installed wubi a few days ago. Then I decided to reformat my hard drive that wubi was installed on. After reformatting wubi was not removed. And it still gives me the boot option, despite ubuntu not actually starting. Obviously I don't have the uninstall option in the control panel for it. | 15:37 |
| jrib | Stranger: what do you want to do now? Install ubuntu to its own partition? Or get rid of ubuntu completely? | 15:37 |
| Stranger | I want to remove and reinstall it | 15:37 |
| jrib | Stranger: you want to use wubi again? | 15:38 |
| escott | Stranger, what did you do to the NTFS partition? | 15:38 |
| Stranger | Yes, but 32bit | 15:38 |
| jrib | Stranger: you should be able to just install wubi again | 15:38 |
| Stranger | I attempted to, and nothing changed. | 15:38 |
| Stranger | escott You mean the old windows files? | 15:38 |
| Stranger | I still have them | 15:39 |
| flintser | escott: i copied the whole directory (with binaires and source in it) to /usr/share/stepmania/ and created stepmania and launch script with nano in /usr/bin and gave executable bit. it worked, at least so it seems. i can now launch stepmania from terminal with "stepmania" | 15:39 |
| crystufer | Okay. So I lost my dual monitor setup in a display driver update. Detect Displays on the display setup doesn't work. I think I have to do this manually. anyone got a link? | 15:39 |
| flintser | stepmania launch script* | 15:40 |
| escott | Stranger, ok. so in what sense did you reformat the hard drive | 15:41 |
| escott | Stranger, b/c if windows still exists it sounds like you did NOT reformat the hard drive. | 15:42 |
| Stranger | I chose the custom installation which put all of my old files into a single folder. | 15:42 |
| Reezz | escott, if he had dual boot on separate drives, he could format 1 drive and still boot using the startup from windows which has the dual boot config in it | 15:43 |
| === magentar_ is now known as magentar | ||
| escott | Stranger, so you installed a real ubuntu alongside the windows that previously existed and which contained WUBI | 15:44 |
| crystufer | xorg.conf is empty. Help plx. | 15:44 |
| Stranger | I installed wubi right. Then I reinstalled windows without uninstalling wubi. | 15:45 |
| Stranger | I still get the duel boot option, just I can't actually use the ubunti install. | 15:45 |

| Dalton_ | Hey all | 15:46 |
| Stranger | I reinstalled windows 7 with wubi installed. But it still gives me ubuntu option, except when I choose it ubuntu throws errors. | 15:46 |
| holstein | Stranger: i would recover the bootloader for windows | 15:46 |
| Kralle | Anyone can help with ubuntu desktop? | 15:46 |
| Reezz | Stranger, so you had windows and wubi installed on the SAME drive? | 15:47 |
| Kralle | When i boot from it | 15:47 |
| Kralle | It say failed to idle channel 2 and 3. | 15:47 |
| Stranger | Reezz Correct | 15:47 |
| Kralle | What can i do to fix that problem? | 15:47 |
| holstein | Stranger: sounds to me like, windows had an entry for ubuntu and windows, and the ubuntu one is still there, though you removed the target | 15:47 |
| jhutchins_wk | Stranger: It would be useful to know what the errors are. | 15:47 |
| Stranger | I could load irc on my laptop and try to boot from my desktop | 15:47 |
| holstein | Stranger: if you are going to install linux, just go on, since grub will blow out the arguably fautly windows one | 15:47 |
| thnee | why is pip so slow when searching and downloading packages compared to the pip on my debian install? is it configured to go to a different mirror or something? | 15:48 |
| Kralle | Anyone cna help + | 15:48 |
| Kralle | ? | 15:48 |
| Stranger | holstein I want windows and ubuntu on the same drive. Which is why I chose wubi | 15:48 |
| holstein | Stranger: if the windows bootloader is booting windows and has an entry for ubuntu, which you removed manually, then it is doing what it is supposed to do.. you can either reinstall it, or edit it | 15:48 |
| escott | Kralle, can you provide the exact error message | 15:48 |
| Stranger | holstein I never removed it manually | 15:48 |
| Reezz | Stranger, install windows. Then install wubi. I'm running a similar setup | 15:48 |
| Stranger | I just reinstalled windows with wubi installed | 15:48 |
| holstein | Stranger: sure.. you wan want/have what you want.. im just expaining why you have an ubuntu entry | 15:48 |
| holstein | Stranger: you removed windows, correct? | 15:49 |
| holstein | Stranger: you reinstalled? | 15:49 |
| Stranger | I reinstalled windows with an iso while it was running | 15:49 |
| Stranger | So yes? | 15:49 |
| Kralle | escott yes i can. one second | 15:49 |
| holstein | Stranger: correct.. so, the old windows with the wubi ubuntu is *gone* | 15:49 |
| Stranger | Yes.. | 15:50 |
| holstein | Stranger: you removed it.. and the entry is still theer, because you didnt uninstall it.. you just removed it, manually.. the entry points to a location you removed | 15:50 |
| holstein | Stranger: everything is working as it should | 15:50 |
| Stranger | Ok be right back | 15:50 |
| holstein | Stranger: if you want, you can manually "repair" the misconfigured windows bootloader.. or reinstall it.. | 15:50 |

| sharperguy | Hi, I've used dd to write an iso image to a particular partition of an external drive, now how do i make sure the MBR points to that partition? | 16:26 |
| linusoleander | The thing is that the user can call the binary without the fullpath, but not through a cronjob | 16:26 |
| TakeItEZ | linusoleander: or define PATH var in crontab | 16:26 |
| TakeItEZ | linusoleander: users-crontab? | 16:27 |
| jrib | linusoleander: yes, that's normal since PATH is not the same in your crontab | 16:27 |
| linusoleander | jrib: Aha | 16:27 |
| escott | linusoleander, its a good idea to specify the fullpath in crontab | 16:27 |
| linusoleander | Is it "fixable"? | 16:27 |
| jrib | linusoleander: provide the full path or define PATH to whatever you want at the top of your crontab | 16:28 |
| linusoleander | All my problems would be solved it the users PATH variable was used | 16:28 |
| Noorideen | hello, i want to know what are the differences between mint and ubuntu? if possible | 16:29 |
| jackyboy633 | @brontosaurusrex I reckon it is how often miniDLNA notifies DLNA-compatible devices of its presence | 16:30 |
| jackyboy633 | @noorideen Well, mint uses a different desktop environment (cinnamon instead of unity) | 16:31 |
| brontosaurusrex | jackyboy633: yes, but if i set that to a very high number its still working fine, if is is a small number, then my client looses connection every time a notify (whatever that is) is issued | 16:31 |
| chamunks | im not really sure what's broken here http://puu.sh/257uQ | 16:31 |
| brontosaurusrex | so, not sure how to "disable" this | 16:31 |
| angs | could any one suggest me a hex editor that I can install by apt-get? | 16:31 |
| brontosaurusrex | any clues? | 16:31 |
| chamunks | it seems to be wanting to downgrade my linux kernel image from what I can gather but im notreally sure why this is happening. | 16:31 |
| bd___ | Hello. Which one is the best of 2 ubuntu versions available on the website? 12.04 or 12.10? Thanks | 16:32 |
| escott | linusoleander, and if your user changes his path then the cron job fails inexplicably | 16:32 |
| Noorideen | jackbrown, thank you, but what i see is that pro programmers uses ubuntu, and new programmers uses mint, why? | 16:33 |
| escott | linusoleander, always use full paths. always specify explicitly any environment variables needed | 16:33 |
| phunyguy | hey folks, I am trying to use motion to capture a security camera, and the only way it will work is with LD_PRELOAD=/usr/lib/x86_64-linux-gnu/libv4l/v4l1compat.so before the command. How can I add that to the init script in /etc/init.d ? | 16:33 |
| linusoleander | escott: It isn't used by anyone but the system | 16:33 |
| chamunks | bd___, there isnt any best its preference really | 16:33 |
| bd___ | chamunks: they are both more or less the same Ubuntu? | 16:33 |
| chamunks | bd___, stable long term service releases are less bleeding edge which is basically the only difference | 16:33 |
| jackbrown | ?? | 16:33 |
| k1l | Noorideen: mint uses another managment with the codecs and drivers and 3rd party programs. and got another update system management. | 16:34 |
| chamunks | bd___, 12.04 is an LTS release (long term service[2years]) | 16:34 |
| linusoleander | escott: That won't always work | 16:34 |
| bazhang | chamunks, its 5 years | 16:34 |
| bd___ | chamunks: ah ok. Do you think ubuntu's bleeding edge "definition" is stable enough for a production environment? | 16:34 |
| Noorideen | k1l, so you ubuntu > mint? | 16:34 |
| chamunks | bazhang, thanks for correcting me :) I just assumed wrong i suppose :P | 16:34 |
| bd___ | bazhang: you'd go with 12.04 or 12.10? | 16:35 |
| bazhang | Noorideen, thats not on topic here. no more polling | 16:35 |
| edheldil | Hi all, I have noticed that when resolving (build) dependencies with a stated max version, lucid picks the correct non-newest package, while precise aborts due to trying just the newest one. AFAICS the matching version should be available in both. Am I doing something wrong? Is there a tweak for it? | 16:35 |
| chamunks | bd___, if its an office I wouldn't suggest the latest unless you know why | 16:35 |
| jackyboy633 | @brontosaurusrex I've Googled it and it says that if you set it to a very high value (i. E. 90000) then the problem will not occur. | 16:35 |
| chamunks | bd___, what is the roles these terminals would be being used for? | 16:35 |
| bazhang | bd___, depends. one is LTS 5 years support the other is 18 months. you choose | 16:35 |
| Noorideen | bazhang, ^_- | 16:35 |
| k1l | Noorideen: i dont want to decide for other users. but that topic would suit better into #ubuntu-discuss | 16:36 |
| bazhang | Noorideen, #ubuntu-offtopic | 16:36 |
| bd___ | chamunks: web, steam and programming. Nothing out of the ordinary, it won't be a 24-hour connected server machine xD. | 16:36 |
| Noorideen | ok ty will go there | 16:36 |
| chamunks | bd___, sounds like a home office yes? | 16:36 |
| BluesKaj | ...BBL | 16:37 |
| bd___ | bazhang: that's a big difference in support. Do you think that upgrading on a 6-month timeframe is safe? | 16:37 |
| bd___ | chamunks: yes, kind of. Work and Entertainment, 50/50 :) | 16:37 |
| chamunks | bd___, I myself always find waiting on upgrading on the normal releases for a month or so is usuallly preferable to me as I dont like the launch bugs. | 16:38 |
| chamunks | bd___, ok well you'd likely get more enjoyment out of the latest if you like to have the newest features. | 16:38 |
| bd___ | chamunks: and you never had problems with the upgrade procedure? | 16:39 |
| chamunks | bd___, im not sure how steam is going to be changing the linux game though its hard to forsee that. But I myself have learned that I usually prefer the lts releases they drop a new one every 2 years but support them for 5 | 16:39 |
| chamunks | bd___, I wouldn't say that at all. | 16:39 |
| bd___ | chamunks: in Windows I always did clean installs. But they also have new versions in 3 years at least, not 6 months :). Windows upgrades tended to put the system slow, laggy | 16:40 |
| chamunks | bd___, but if you dont change too much you could get away with an upgrade fairly well I've seen some upgrade ok. | 16:40 |
| chamunks | bd___, you likely wont notice that with ubuntu ubuntu is an entirely different beast from windows. | 16:40 |
| bd___ | chamunks: I've seen that Valve supports Ubuntu 12.04 LTS for steam. Does that mean that steam doesn't work in 12.10, 13.04 or further? | 16:40 |
| chamunks | bd___, I would imagine if it supports 12.04 that you'd be fine to run future versions as well but 12.04 would be the supported release. | 16:41 |
| ejv | or... try it and find out. | 16:41 |
| wootis_lap | i run 12.10 xubuntu and steam works fine. | 16:41 |
| chamunks | bd___, meaning if you go and run future versions steam/valve likely wont support your problems. | 16:42 |
| chamunks | bd___, basically official support means if somethings broken they will help you fix probably. | 16:42 |
| chamunks | bd___, otherwise you're on your own. | 16:42 |
| bd___ | chamunks: canonical may take efforts to keep steam compatibility with newer versions in order to have users who install the non-LTS versions instead | 16:43 |
| chamunks | http://puu.sh/257uQ im running 12.04 lts server x64 and im wondering why its trying to downgrade my kernel or what might be causing this conflict. | 16:43 |
| chamunks | bd___, linux usually doesnt backpedal. | 16:44 |
| ejv | that's not true, LTS support essentially means they will continue to provide security and package updates for the environment, to the community. You need to actually purchase a "SLA" from Canonical if you actually want "official" support. | 16:45 |
| WXZ | how do I find out how many root windows are running on the system? | 16:45 |
| Myrtti | chamunks: you realise that the problem isn't necessarily that it is trying to downgrade (as I can't actually see what version of kernel you already have) but the fact that you're running low on disc space? | 16:45 |
| Myrtti | chamunks: atleast on /boot? | 16:46 |
| chamunks | Myrtti, I kind of inherited that problem I dont know why the isolated the /boot partition but I dont really know how to remedy this issue. | 16:46 |
| Myrtti | chamunks: you might have older linux kernels that you don't actually need anymore | 16:46 |
| Myrtti | chamunks: they aren't autoremoved | 16:47 |
| chamunks | Myrtti, makes sense | 16:47 |
| angs | what is the command to make a partition table on /dev/sdb ? | 16:47 |
| chamunks | Myrtti, the server provider we're using is pretty new and trying to use some of our youtuber's fame to help promote by donating us this server. | 16:47 |
| ejv | angs: fdisk / parted | 16:47 |
| chamunks | Myrtti, so they have some strange ideas. | 16:47 |
| chamunks | Myrtti, how would I go about removing the old versions? | 16:48 |
| ejv | seperating /boot into it's own partition isn't that strange at all. | 16:48 |
| angs | ejv: how is the usage, fdisk /dev/sdb parted? | 16:48 |
| black_puppydog | hey all, | 16:48 |
| escott | angs, ejv you should use parted not fdisk | 16:48 |
| ejv | angs: man fdisk | man parted | 16:48 |
| Ezekiel86 | hi | 16:48 |
| black_puppydog | the ubuntu as think client thingy that mark mentions in the tablet video, does anybody have pointers to that? | 16:49 |
| chamunks | Myrtti, this is the first thing that comes up http://askubuntu.com/questions/153185/how-to-remove-kernels-from-previous-release | 16:49 |
| ejv | if you're a sysadmin, you should be familiar with how to use both | 16:49 |
| holstein | chamunks: i just leave them. they are quite small in size | 16:49 |
| chamunks | holstein, then I can't remedy my problem | 16:49 |
| chamunks | holstein, http://puu.sh/257uQ | 16:49 |
| holstein | chamunks: sure, you can do what you like.. everything is open.. what is the issue? | 16:50 |
| Myrtti | chamunks: the first answer seems about right, although I doubt update-grub2 is needed | 16:50 |
| ejv | scroll up holstein lol | 16:50 |
| holstein | im just not sure you have a problem,other than maybe one you are creating for yourself that might not be neccessary | 16:50 |
| bd___ | chamunks: do you know of a ppa with libreoffice 4? | 16:50 |
| holstein | ejv: i am asking for a consice recap... | 16:50 |
| chamunks | bd___, no but im sure you can just ask the channel someone might pipe up | 16:50 |
| bd___ | Anybody here has a PPA with libreoffice 4? Tks | 16:51 |
| chamunks | holstein, i've only got a 100mb /boot for some reason the server admins thought this was a good idea when they imaged the server. | 16:51 |
| EyePulp | maybe a silly question - are there restrictions on the filename of an upstart file? e.g. is foo.bar.baz.conf acceptable, or do the dots make it barf? | 16:51 |
| chamunks | Myrtti, ok thanks I hope this doesn't break things :P | 16:51 |
| ejv | 100mb for /boot is plenty, remove the older kernels you don't need | 16:52 |
| geryon6 | EyePulp: Don't know, but you could use dashes instead of dots. That works definitely. | 16:53 |
| xQuinn | Hello everyone - I have a netbook with an AMD C-70. The battery life is awful and there's no brightness settings on the open source driver and it's not supported by catalyst...what should I do? | 16:53 |
| holstein | chamunks: i would just search "linux" in the package manager of your choice | 16:54 |
| chamunks | holstein, I only have ssh access to this machine its a server hosted by some people in newzealand | 16:54 |
| EyePulp | geryon6: true enough - I had wondered a few times in the past and thought I'd to educate myself finally. =) I was hoping this would elaborate more: http://upstart.ubuntu.com/cookbook/#job-configuration-file | 16:54 |

| Myrtti | !tablet > Abhijit | 16:56 |
| ubottu | Abhijit, please see my private message | 16:56 |
| chamunks | holstein, I'd imagine anything containing "Linux" would spew a boatload of stuff. | 16:56 |
| holstein | xQuinn: i found better supported hardware.. theres jupiter for power management.. but the hardware support will be what it is, pretty much | 16:56 |
| holstein | chamunks: i would not imagine, and just search.. | 16:57 |
| Stranger | Alright I was here a little bit ago. I was having problems with wubi showing up as a boot option and not working after reinstalling windows. So I re-reinstalled wubi and I get the same error.. Using google I am really lost. | 16:57 |
| === francisco is now known as Guest89363 | ||
| holstein | chamunks: you should be able to see a list of the kernels you have installed and search for them one by one if you like | 16:57 |
| oal | Ubuntu for tablets looks phenomenal. Can't wait to put it in my Nexus 10. :D | 16:57 |
| holstein | Stranger: you asked that the wubi install be removed.. you will need to manually work with the windows bootloader | 16:58 |
| cigos | !list | 16:58 |
| ubottu | cigos: No warez here! This is not a file sharing channel (or network); read the channel topic. If you're looking for information about me, type « /msg ubottu !bot ». If you're looking for a channel, see « /msg ubottu !alis ». | 16:58 |
| holstein | Stranger: try recovering the windows bootloader if you have not | 16:58 |
| Stranger | holstein Sorry I thought I made it clear. I wanted it to work | 16:58 |
| chamunks | holstein, fair enough I've found a howto via google that seems decent. http://askubuntu.com/questions/153185/how-to-remove-kernels-from-previous-release | 16:58 |
| Stranger | It was not working. | 16:58 |
| Stranger | Can you point me towards something...? | 16:58 |
| holstein | Stranger: sure.. you removed it, so it wont work | 16:58 |
| ejv | chamunks: using Synaptic makes removing older kernels very easy. | 16:59 |
| Stranger | Well the problem was it was still showing up as a boot option when I don't think it should have | 16:59 |
| holstein | Stranger: i would just recover the mbr in windows | 16:59 |
| Stranger | And actually running the wubi.exe did nothing. | 16:59 |
| Stranger | mbr? | 16:59 |
| Myrtti | ejv: when you don't have graphical user interface, Synaptic is a bit difficult suggestion. | 16:59 |
| chamunks | ejv, its a headless server It wouuld be a pain to setup x-forwarding but I do know synaptic and its a great tool :) | 16:59 |
| holstein | Stranger: the fact is, you blew out te wubi install and the entry was still there.. | 16:59 |
| holstein | Stranger: what would i do? i would look at the windows MBR config | 17:00 |
| Touhou11 | If you don't have a GUI, aptitude is a great alternative to Synaptic | 17:01 |
| bazhang | !aptitude | Touhou11 | 17:02 |
| ubottu | Touhou11: aptitude is another terminal-based front-end to APT. You may encounter problems on multiarch installs (11.10 and higher) as aptitude cannot currently handle the same package with different architectures being installed at the same time. See http://pad.lv/831768 for more information. | 17:02 |
| Stranger | holstein I have no idea, what you are suggestion or how this would "fix" wubi. | 17:02 |
| holstein | Stranger: wubi is not broken. its just not booting due to the bootloader config | 17:02 |
| holstein | Stranger: you removed the wubi target when you reinstalled windows.. the bootloader left the entry inplace | 17:03 |
| geryon6 | Actually I don't have problems with aptitude an multiarch any more in 12.04. | 17:04 |
| Ziber | I want to make a crontab run once a day at midnight. I'm not terribly familiar with crontab syntax... | 17:04 |
| geryon6 | *and | 17:04 |
| holstein | Stranger: what you have now is an entry in the windows bootloader that is pointing to a target you removed.. i would manaully fix the bootloader | 17:04 |
| Ziber | 0 0 * * * /path/to/script? | 17:04 |
| ejv | chamunks: in that case, that link will be sufficient ;) | 17:04 |
| chamunks | ejv, :) i'm already running into a problem http://puu.sh/258dF | 17:05 |
| Stranger | holstein Just to be clear, when I boot. It gives me the option to choose ubuntu and when I do I get Missing modules (cat /proc/modules; ls /dev) + other shit. | 17:05 |
| holstein | Stranger: watch the languge, and yes, it is pointint to the old wuib install you removed | 17:06 |
| holstein | Stranger: the windows bootloader says "boot that wubi install" but you removed it | 17:06 |
| chamunks | Myrtti, http://puu.sh/258dF is my next issue. | 17:06 |
| ejv | chamunks: do what it says, apt-get -f install | 17:07 |
| chamunks | ejv, my issue is I cant because of lack of space | 17:07 |
| Stranger | holstein Can you link something that tells me how to fix this? | 17:07 |
| chamunks | ejv, in my /boot so I'm trying to apt-get purge some stuff so i have space so that I can run apt-get -f install | 17:07 |
| Myrtti | chamunks: do what it tells you to do | 17:07 |
| chamunks | kk | 17:07 |
| chamunks | Myrtti, ejv http://puu.sh/258hO | 17:08 |
| chamunks | this looks like it should work | 17:08 |

| DeltaHeavy | Hey, with all the new talk of tablets and phones, is there any improvement to the Unity DE? My previous experiences with it (half a year ago) is that it was still kinda laggy. | 17:13 |
| holstein | DeltaHeavy: try it live | 17:13 |
| Touhou11 | DeltaHeavy: The UI is ok, but the dashboard searching is slow imo. Especially compared to GNOME Shell/Windows/Spotlight | 17:14 |
| DeltaHeavy | holstein: I don't have time for that for the moment, just wondering if anybody knows. I like Unity's layout, just not it's performance. | 17:14 |
| DeltaHeavy | Touhou11: Ok, do you also find there's a bit of a delay in comparison to GNOME etc when you click on one of those side icons? | 17:14 |
| k1l | DeltaHeavy: no lag or delay here | 17:15 |
| Touhou11 | DeltaHeavy: Delay in launching the programs? Or for the UI to animate/respond? It's ok for me, though I have proprietary drivers for my graphics card installed. Don't know how it is without hardware acceleration | 17:15 |
| holstein | DeltaHeavy: i would say, any improvents are a matter of opinion.. unity/ubuntu are always in active development | 17:15 |
| k1l | DeltaHeavy: but that depends on the hardware and the drivers involved. better try yourselv | 17:15 |

| holstein | brian__: try "sudo apt-get update" then whatever you are doing.. also, pastebin | 17:16 |
| DeltaHeavy | And yeah, perhaps I should install the proprietary NVidea drivers instead of using nouvou or whatever it works with by default | 17:16 |
| Touhou11 | DeltaHeavy: I always notice a lag with any X Windows environment personally, Windows and Mac are much better in that regard. | 17:16 |
| DeltaHeavy | I usually use my hardrive on more than one computer though so that's an issue =/ | 17:16 |
| brian__ | Ok I'll try that Just a minute. | 17:17 |
| DeltaHeavy | Touhou11: GNOME2/MATE/Cinnamon/XFCE have 0 lag for me, only Unity when I use it. | 17:17 |
| holstein | DeltaHeavy: i find lag in UI's in general.. is unity faster? sure.. speed is a focus.. is it fast enough? thats up to you.. is is faster than others? probably like anything else, faster than some and slower than others | 17:18 |
| holstein | also, depends on what you need/want.. and the hardare you are running on | 17:19 |
| holstein | hardware* | 17:19 |
| Touhou11 | Wayland should help, X11 architecture affects the responsiveness at the moment | 17:20 |

| brian__ | holstein: Done - here is the error I got in the terminal window ... | 17:21 |
| DeltaHeavy | holstein: Yeah, I just find besides me, other people I've talked to previously have had issues with Unity's responsiveness across a wide range of hardware. Guess I'll have to try it for myself. | 17:21 |

| holstein | brian__: i would look at my sources | 17:22 |
| brian__ | holstein: you got a newby here. how must i go about that? | 17:24 |
| escott | brian__, its possible that the mirror you are downloading from just needs an update. try a different mirror or wait 24hours | 17:25 |
| holstein | brian__: what did you do right befor this error? have you tried "fix broken packages" in the menu in synaptic? | 17:25 |
| holstein | yeah.. thats likely as well brian__ ^^ | 17:25 |

| atomx | ikonia: yeah, but I tried once a few days ago, and after 1 hour I gave up. It did not work, and I suspected it took too much time to learn how to do it. Now I am trying to do it , in the same time asking the experts | 17:31 |
| brian__ | holstein: escott: how will i determine which mirror i am currently accessing? | 17:32 |
| JeffJassky | Hey, guys. I just restarted my server (10.04) and MySQL won't start.. when I try service mysql start I get "start: Job failed to start".. Where might I find the logs to find out why it won't start? | 17:32 |

| dniw | is that what i type in the search? | 17:33 |
| ejv | JeffJassky: what does it say when you perform: sudo service mysql restart ? | 17:33 |
| holstein | !info gparted | 17:33 |
| ejv | pastebin is your friend | 17:33 |

| escott | brian__, your mirror is insynchq.com (its in the filename) | 17:34 |
| holstein | brian__: http://askubuntu.com/questions/41605/trouble-downloading-updates-due-to-hash-sum-mismatch-error has a suggestion | 17:34 |
| ejv | perhaps your restart broke something, start looking in /var/log/ | 17:35 |

| ikonia | apb1963_: /etc/dircolors ? | 17:55 |

| apb1963_ | no /etc/dircolors /etc/DIR_COLORS or any other variation I can think of. Not in /etc/profile or /etc/profile.d/* | 17:56 |
| ejv | i was trying to spare him that bazhang | 17:56 |
| kriss3d | ejv and bazhang I know but since its the same installer and i assume you can guess where they point me when i ask in the BT channel... | 17:56 |
| ejv | ok there's where you're wrong, it's *not* the same installer | 17:57 |
| bazhang | kriss3d, it is not supported here. please dont ask any further | 17:57 |
| kriss3d | well i might be wrong indeed yes | 17:57 |
| apb1963_ | yes but where does LS_COLORS get set on a system wide basis? | 17:57 |
| kriss3d | ok ill respect that. | 17:57 |
| ikonia | kriss3d: why do you think it's system wide ? and not just in the users directory | 17:57 |
| ikonia | kriss3d: oops sorry, not you | 17:57 |
| ikonia | apb1963_ why do you think it's system wide ? and not just in the users directory | 17:58 |
| ejv | kriss3d: the backtrack devs could have done innumerable tweaks and changes to ubuntu's version of ubiquity; because of that support isn't offered here for that derivative. | 17:58 |

| ejv | kriss3d: your best bet is file a report on Launchpad, or find an open ticket matching your issue, and of course #backtrack-linux | 17:59 |
| ikonia | evilbit: same as Centos | 17:59 |
| apb1963_ | so what you're saying is.. you don't know where it is either | 17:59 |
| ikonia | evilbit: if you can do centos, you'll have no problems with ubuntu | 17:59 |
| evilbit | ikonia: different config files and the like | 17:59 |
| ikonia | evilbit: not massivly different, | 18:00 |
| kriss3d | ejv yeah thanks im in the #backtrack-linux already but ill try out the launchpads | 18:00 |
| apb1963_ | I spent a half hour googling it before coming here.. plenty of places to set it on a per user basis... but nobody seems to know where it is system wide - on ubuntu | 18:00 |
| evilbit | ikonia: yeah... I was wondering if there's a rosetta stone for the two... I've finally got preseeds down so I can replicate kickstarts | 18:00 |
| apb1963_ | dircolors is about the closest I could come | 18:01 |

| lehzeni | exosyst, unless you have enough ram to skip having a swap partition, that thumbstick will have a short lifespan | 18:02 |
| exosyst | It worked fine on 10.04.X but it comes up with an error about couldn't install grub to /dev/sda and I told it to use /dev/sdb (the stick) but it seems to have failed | 18:03 |

| omkar_ | hey guys i have ubuntu 12.10 and i have installed php5 but i wanted to know how to install json | 18:04 |
| The_Cog | crystufer_: You would have to add the directory it's in to your "path" which is the list of directories to search when given a command. | 18:04 |
| exosyst | omkar_, You don't install json | 18:04 |
| bulletrulz | Gnea, like what i hear they hear | 18:04 |
| exosyst | json is a notation, do you mean nodejs instead? | 18:04 |
| Gnea | bulletrulz: I strongly suggest headphones for that. | 18:04 |
| crystufer_ | The_Cog Okay. that sounds doable. Where is the list? | 18:05 |
| Gnea | bulletrulz: and a microphone. | 18:05 |
| omkar_ | when i try instslling json using this | 18:05 |
| omkar_ | apt-get install php5-json it says something like this | 18:05 |
| bulletrulz | Gnea, yea i have head phones but i know on windows skype has a what i hear mode | 18:05 |
| omkar_ | Note, selecting 'php5-common' instead of 'php5-json' | 18:05 |
| Gnea | bulletrulz: also, skype uses pulseaudio, so you'll need to bring up the pulseaudio controls to adjust the volumes and such | 18:05 |
| omkar_ | oh | 18:05 |
| lehzeni | exosyst, did you zero out the whole thumbstick before trying to install 12.04? | 18:06 |
| crystufer_ | The_Cog, http://www.troubleshooters.com/linux/prepostpath.htm Like that? | 18:06 |
| exosyst | lehzeni, I didn't do that. I don't see why that would make a difference given that it's repartitioned and formatted | 18:06 |
| bulletrulz | Gnea, do u know how to do it? | 18:06 |
| omkar_ | @exosyst i m trying to install ganglia on my laptop | 18:07 |
| omkar_ | and the ebook said so to check json | 18:07 |
| The_Cog | crystufer_: The command "echo $PATH" will show you the current search path. To add a directory temporarily (e.g. /foo/bar), use "PATH=$PATH:/foo/bar" | 18:07 |
| The_Cog | crystufer_: Yes that's a better description than I could type here | 18:08 |
| crystufer_ | The_Cog, Could I add a single program to that by tossing a symlink in any of the folders currently in the searchpath? | 18:08 |
| lehzeni | exosyst, thumbdrives do some weird things with block reordering to implement wear leveling | 18:08 |
| The_Cog | crystufer_: Yes. there's a /home/yourname/bin folder that is probably in your path. You could toss the program or symlink in there. | 18:09 |
| wiggmpk | omkar_: php5-common will provide php5-json functions | 18:09 |
| crystufer_ | The_Cog, Perfect. Thank you for your help sir/ma'am. | 18:09 |
| Gnea | bulletrulz: have you read the ubuntu skype page yet? | 18:10 |
| omkar_ | ok | 18:10 |
| bulletrulz | Gnea, yes | 18:10 |
| omkar_ | ok thanks | 18:10 |
| wiggmpk | omkar_: the pacakges conflict with each other so im assuming you already have php5-common installed.. thats why it wont let you install php5-json | 18:10 |

| escott | stevetheitguy, as long as the partition is not active sure | 18:19 |
| holstein | jx8p: check the offtopic channels | 18:19 |
| kostkon | jx8p, there is ubuntu offtopic though | 18:19 |

| dniw | how come ubuntu on my macbook pro seems like it's running the fans at max speed | 18:20 |
| escott | stevetheitguy, you cannot resize an active partition | 18:20 |
| lehzeni | stevetheitguy, changing an in-use partition will cause an interesting system crash and file corruption | 18:21 |
| escott | dniw, because it is | 18:21 |
| dniw | is there a way to make it so it doesn't? | 18:22 |
| dniw | its pretty loud | 18:22 |
| stevetheitguy | its not the primary partition so best would be to boot to live cd and resize ? | 18:22 |

| rikimaru90 | Hey guys, is there anyway I can remove the keyring password? I dislike entering my password everytime I boot, twice | 18:25 |
| escott | rikimaru90, if it matches the login password you shouldn't be asked twice | 18:25 |
| stevetheitguy | thanks | 18:25 |
| rikimaru90 | escott, well the passwords match, but I log in through CLI then startx | 18:26 |
| escott | rikimaru90, that would do it | 18:26 |
| exosyst | rikimaru90, may I ask why? | 18:26 |
| rikimaru90 | escott, I only just heard I could leave it empty, anyway to change it? | 18:27 |
| escott | rikimaru90, short of disabling the keyring i dont see how you could leave it empty | 18:27 |
| rikimaru90 | Well I'm currently on archlinux with Cinnamon. Since ubuntu uses a lot of gnome programs I could ask for help here. | 18:28 |

| exosyst | rikimaru90, I think you can get away with tweaking it in pacman | 18:29 |

| atomx | I spent 2 hours so far | 18:31 |
| escott | mahe, what error do you see with mkdir folder | 18:31 |
| exosyst | rikimaru90, I'd recommend not running an abomination of a desktop though. Install mint if you want cinammon, fedora 18 if you want Gnome 3/shell and Ubuntu for Unity. The other ways lay pain! | 18:31 |
| Sputnik_ | Hello I have a question about Network Manager | 18:31 |
| escott | mahe, if you have no error then i suspect you are confused about how working directories function | 18:31 |

| Sputnik_ | even though it is connected. I am using the computer to run digital signage. Anyway to disable that popup? | 18:32 |
| Applesouce | MasterOfDisaster: At the top bar on the right, it said connected to wireless network and it's shows the sign that I have WLAN | 18:32 |
| rikimaru90 | exosyst, Yeah I am learning form within a VM for a safe environment. | 18:32 |
| lehzeni | exosyst, you think anything else but cinnmaon gnome or unity is an abomination? | 18:33 |
| mahe | escott ill send u the code | 18:33 |
| exosyst | lehzeni, No. I'm saying that hacking and slashing together a desktop environment is a bad idea. | 18:33 |
| Sputnik_ | should I switch to wicd? Or is there a way just to disable that specific part of NM? | 18:33 |

| MasterOfDisaster | Applesouce: APIPA or "real" internal address? | 18:38 |
| odra | Anybody has a shell to recomend? | 18:38 |
| exosyst | odra, dash is fine. lots of scripts are written to support bash though. A shell is a shell. | 18:39 |
| Sputnik_ | zsh? | 18:39 |
| gdanko | where do I go to submit a security flaw? | 18:39 |
| exosyst | odra, If you want to be weird, consider zsh, ksh or csh | 18:39 |
| Sputnik_ | ZSH is so quick | 18:39 |
| alienaut | exosyst, thank you! | 18:39 |

| exosyst | Try Mint with cinammon, Fedora with Gnome Shell, Kubuntu with KDE | 18:41 |
| exosyst | take your pick odra. | 18:41 |
| exosyst | Sputnik_, Whats the problem? | 18:41 |
| odra | I realized Gnome shell isn't much better than unity | 18:41 |
| exosyst | yeesh - I came in asking for help with my own issue | 18:41 |
| odra | Actually it totally screws up workspaces somehow | 18:41 |
| Sputnik_ | exosyst: get a popup sometimes that says "Authenticaiton required by wireless network"even though it is connected. I am using the computer to run digital signage. Anyway to disable that popup? looks like this http://i.stack.imgur.com/dHdEk.png | 18:41 |
| exosyst | odra, I'm a gnome-shell user and i found it great for my use case | 18:41 |
| escott | mahe, i would hope that no such file exists | 18:42 |
| Sputnik_ | exosyst: Using the computer to run digital signage looks bad when there is this huge pop up | 18:42 |
| exosyst | Sputnik_, it normally happens to me if a) password is wrong b) the wireless is patchy. | 18:42 |
| Applesouce | MasterOfDisaster: How do I see the difference? | 18:42 |
| odra | exosyst: I don't like how you pick windows in activities with screenshots | 18:42 |
| odra | Actually they are real time renders | 18:42 |
| odra | But anyway I find myself distracted for moments trying to figure out what window is what | 18:43 |
| Sputnik_ | exosyst: The password is right the wireless is a little patchy | 18:43 |
| exosyst | Sputnik_, If you need the wireless for it to work, check the strength and make sure there's no interference on the channel (normally most WiFi routers pick Channel 11 which gets congested) | 18:43 |
| Sputnik_ | either way I don't want to see taht | 18:43 |
| odra | Not an improvement over alt tab :/ | 18:43 |
| escott | mahe, you need to learn some bash basics like working directories and absolute vs relative paths | 18:43 |
| exosyst | Sputnik_, You don't want to see it? Then go wired and disable the wifi connection | 18:43 |
| MasterOfDisaster | Applesouce: APIPA is 169.254.*.* and private ip is 10.*.*.* or 192.168.*.* or 172.16.*.*. | 18:43 |
| Sputnik_ | exosyst: I did | 18:44 |
| Sputnik_ | it's not a notification it's a window | 18:44 |
| exosyst | odra, I have a few windows open at a time and can't say I struggle to pick the right one. Your prerogative, use what works for you. | 18:44 |
| Applesouce | MasterOfDisaster: Ok then I have a Network-IP http://pastebin.com/xYhUS5gQ | 18:44 |
| odra | exosyst: I have to try more of them to see what works for me D: | 18:44 |
| exosyst | Sputnik_, it won't show if you have disabled the wifi connection. | 18:45 |
| odra | Btw i don't like how everything looks black. | 18:45 |
| mahe | escott got any advice on that? | 18:45 |
| exosyst | odra, Then learn2theme? | 18:45 |
| Applesouce | MasterOfDisaster: Oh for some reason, the IP is not on there, I had a 192.168 IP | 18:45 |

| Walther | dmesg doesn't show anything useful | 18:46 |
| exosyst | Sputnik_, then you've not got much choice if you're using nm. If your wifi is patchy and fails, it will try to connect and ask for you to check the wifi | 18:46 |
| MasterOfDisaster | Applesouce: check your router then if you got this IP via DHCP. Seems alright to me from the client side (i.e. your computer). | 18:46 |
| escott | mahe, i thought what i just gave you was advice | 18:46 |
| exosyst | Walther, what do you expect to see in dmesg? | 18:46 |
| lehzeni | should you normally be able to burn a dvd in dao/sao mode? or is that non-standard or impossible? | 18:46 |
| odra | I was told if I installed gnome shell I would be able to minimize windows clicking on the task bar :/ | 18:47 |
| odra | Turns out there is no taskbar :/ | 18:47 |
| Walther | exosyst: Well, usually any useful error messages show up in dmesg :P That error was in Xorg.0.log though | 18:47 |
| Applesouce | MasterOfDisaster: Here I've got my ifconfig http://pastebin.com/qbC5AHnt | 18:47 |
| Walther | but yeah, I have no idea whatsoever how to fix this - nvidia-current is installed and everything should work | 18:47 |
| exosyst | odra, No. That's not gnome-shell. Consider cinammon for that. | 18:47 |
| Walther | however, I'm not getting a desktop / X running | 18:47 |
| odra | >___< | 18:47 |
| exosyst | Walther, so what's the problem? I only picked up the fact you're not seeing nvidia stuff in dmesg? | 18:48 |
| odra | How do I install cinammon on ubuntu? Actually isn't that a digimon? | 18:48 |
| MasterOfDisaster | Applesouce: routing table? 'route -n' | 18:48 |
| Walther | exosyst: did you read anything at all? :D I'm not getting a graphical desktop at all | 18:48 |
| Walther | and no useful messages in dmesg saying why | 18:48 |
| lehzeni | I thought cinnamon was only for mint? | 18:48 |
| exosyst | odra, I'd recommend installing Mint if you want cinammon | 18:48 |
| Applesouce | MasterOfDisaster: At my Routers Site it shows my Notebook in there :> | 18:48 |
| odra | Why do I have to change operating systems just to minimize windows with a click on the taskbar! | 18:49 |
| exosyst | Walther, so what's your output in your /var/log/Xorg.0.log | 18:49 |
| exosyst | odra, It's not changing the OS. It's still Linux. | 18:49 |
| lehzeni | odra, xfce gives you a taskbar, and it runs fine on ubuntu | 18:49 |
| MasterOfDisaster | Applesouce: sure. I suspect that your uplink (router <-> Internet) is down | 18:49 |
| odra | Why do I have to change distros just to minimize windows with a click on the taskbar! | 18:49 |
| exosyst | odra, Because that's how applications work? | 18:50 |
| lehzeni | odra, xfce gives you a taskbar, and it runs fine on ubuntu | 18:50 |

| Applesouce | MasterOfDisaster: Wouldn't my other devices then also have no internet access? | 18:50 |
| MasterOfDisaster | Applesouce: yes | 18:50 |
| exosyst | odra, If I install Windows with Metro - I expect to install another OS to get Gnome-shell. I don't expect the OS guys to cater for me wanting to do something 'different' and have them support it | 18:51 |
| Applesouce | MasterOfDisaster: But I have internet access on all my other devices | 18:51 |

| MasterOfDisaster | does 'ping -c4 192.168.1.1' and 'ping -c4 8.8.8.8' work? Did you mess with iptables, ufw, or any other firewall related stuff? | 18:53 |
| Walther | which i pasted a bit earlier | 18:53 |
| MasterOfDisaster | oops, Applesouce: does 'ping -c4 192.168.1.1' and 'ping -c4 8.8.8.8' work? Did you mess with iptables, ufw, or any other firewall related stuff? | 18:53 |
| lehzeni | semantics, you can get support for xubuntu or kubuntu from ubuntu channels | 18:53 |
| Applesouce | MasterOfDisaster: Also my Router says, my Notebook is not an active client! | 18:53 |
| exosyst | odra, lehzeni, and YMMV with regards to installing different DEs to the one being pushed by the distribution. | 18:53 |

| DJones | genadi: Its only #ubuntu+1 for support on 13.04 at the minute, all I can suggest is that you have be patient | 18:54 |

| MasterOfDisaster | Applesouce: puh - beats me. It's possible that your DHCP client caches a lease. Have you got *any* information in 'dmesg' or /var/log/syslog about this? | 19:02 |

| Walther | yup, 3.5.0-23 | 19:08 |
| Angel | hi, someone here know a lot about apache2? | 19:09 |

| lehzeni | Angel, a little bit | 19:09 |
| Angel | you know how I can change permissions so ppl can view my filestructure for a virtual host? | 19:10 |

| supNow | ikonia, I deleted the folder and am starting from scratch. There's recommended values for the php.ini file and I'm making the changes (editing as root) however it doesn't show them as changed on the pre-install check. I have edited 2 different php.ini files on the system... is there another location ubuntu might have the one it actually uses? | 19:16 |
| Angel | exosyst, that changes apache permissions? | 19:16 |
| exosyst | Angel, those are unix file permissions you can set using chmod | 19:16 |
| Angel | the unix permissions are not the problem, it's the apache permissions that I need :D | 19:16 |
| exosyst | Angel, You may also need to chown -R apache:apache the directory you want to open up | 19:16 |
| Quest | hi | 19:17 |
| Quest | one strange thing . sudo find /var/lib/tomcat7/work/Catalina/localhost/_/ -name '*.java' -ls | 19:17 |
| Quest | ./var/lib/tomcat7/work/Catalina/localhost/_/org/apache/jsp/mission_jsp.java | 19:17 |
| Quest | but find / -name '*.java' -ls shows .java files only in /var/cache/tomcat7/Catalina/localhost/_/org/apache/jsp/ | 19:17 |
| Quest | why is that? | 19:17 |
| FloodBot1 | Quest: Please don't flood; use http://paste.ubuntu.com to paste; don't use Enter as punctuation. | 19:17 |
| Angel | chownd and chmodded the dirs. If I type a file name, I get the file, but I can't view the folders in a browser | 19:17 |
| supNow | exosyst, I thought the default owner and group for apache is www-data:www-data | 19:17 |
| exosyst | Angel, Apache doesn't really have permissions - it just adheres to the underlying unix file permissions | 19:17 |
| exosyst | supNow, I think you may well be right - check that Angel | 19:18 |
| supNow | exosyst, I'm having some permission issues relating to apache as well and it accepted those as default owner/group | 19:18 |
| jrib | Quest: probably a permissions issue | 19:18 |
| exosyst | Angel, supNow You can verify with grep "www-data" /etc/passwd | 19:19 |
| Quest | jrib, both are with sudo | 19:19 |
| Walther | exosyst: yeah, i've had the same happen a dozen times... coming here to ask a question, end up answering a dozen | 19:19 |
| jrib | Quest: pastebin | 19:19 |
| Walther | guess that's not bad though | 19:20 |
| jrib | Quest: pastebin full input and output | 19:20 |
| Quest | k | 19:20 |
| supNow | exosyst, did you happen to see the question I posted above as you seem to have some knowledge? | 19:20 |
| supNow | Walther, same here I end up helping and never get mine solved.. lol | 19:20 |
| jrib | Angel: are you asking about directory indexes in apache? You need to enable the Indexes option. #httpd can help you with that | 19:21 |
| exosyst | supNow, Same. I've still had no reply to mine. Trying to tackle the easier ones that don't require me pulling apart Ubuntuisms :D | 19:21 |
| klrr | hi, why is there no /etc/profile by default? | 19:21 |
| exosyst | supNow, No I didn't see your issue | 19:21 |
| jrib | klrr: there is I believe | 19:21 |
| Quest | jrib, http://pastebin.ca/2315709 | 19:21 |
| klrr | jrib: hmm, not in my install 12.04 :/ | 19:22 |
| jrib | exosyst: you can install 12.04 to a usb stick if you want | 19:22 |
| klrr | jrib: nvm typo | 19:22 |
| Angel | jrib, httpd.conf is an empty file | 19:22 |
| exosyst | jrib, I'm trying again. It failed the first time as it didn't write the bootloader and just gave some error about it trying to right to /dev/sda | 19:23 |
| jrib | Angel: I did not say anything about a "httpd.conf". #httpd is a channel on this network | 19:23 |
| Quest | jrib, well see this one http://pastebin.ca/2315710 | 19:23 |

| supNow | exosyst, my LAMP install is working fine as I have phpmyadmin as well as a joomla site running on a local server. I've been trying to install vtigercrm and have been running into nothing but issues. On the preinstallation check it's showing suggested changes on the php.ini. so I ran a search on the locations and have found 2. I have edited both php.ini files I have found and the results do not show on the preinstallation check | 19:24 |
| supNow | from the install.php file of vtiger. /etc/php5/apache2/php.ini and etc/php5/cli/php.ini are the 2 locations I've found and neither had any impact. (yes I edited as root) | 19:24 |
| KingPixel | Is there a channel for help w/ vpn/routing? | 19:25 |
| jrib | Quest: but I see mission_jsp.java in the output of both commands, no? | 19:26 |
| exosyst | supNow, sorry but no idea on that one. I am not familiar with vtigercrm. I do know that I ended up having to put a php.ini into my serving directory to get changes picked up by a wordpress install. Maybe you can do similar | 19:26 |
| k1l | !alis | KingPixel | 19:26 |
| ubottu | KingPixel: 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* | 19:26 |
| Quest | jrib, the path is different | 19:26 |

| Quest | jrib, those are 2 different files | 19:27 |
| skjoedt | Are there any milestones/info on what kernel to expect in Ubuntu 14.04? Will it be 3.6 or will it jump to the most recent (say, 3.8)? | 19:27 |
| TuxBlackEdo | how do i burn on a single layer of a dual layer dvd? i am burning an livecd to install an os, and it keeps screwing up at about the 50% mark, however all my single layer dvds work. all i have is dual layer dvds, can i just burn a single layer dvd? | 19:27 |
| k1l | skjoedt: the most recent untill the freeze | 19:27 |
| KingPixel | TuxBlackEdo, you can not use single layer burner to burn to dual layer. anything over 3.7gb gets put on second layer | 19:27 |
| k1l | skjoedt: noone can gues what that is gonna be now | 19:27 |
| jrib | Quest: there's probably a symlink somewhere along one of the paths | 19:27 |
| exosyst | Screw it. I'll use 10.04 for this. Google is full of how broken 12.04 is in general.. I think i'll avoid inflicting it on my trainees :D | 19:28 |
| Cyber_Akuma | Would it be feasable to run most non-specialized Ubuntu apps (as in nothing for really heavy graphic work, 3d modeling, photoshop, etc) and games with no swap partition if you have 16 gigs of ram? | 19:28 |
| LaserShark | but...12.04 isn't broken... | 19:28 |
| TuxBlackEdo | KingPixel, my iso file is 3.11gb, enough for a single layer, however most burning programs split this 3.1 between the two tracks | 19:28 |
| skjoedt | k1l, Okay, thanks. Will such kernel be tested and gradually introduced in prior releases? (Say, 13.10) | 19:28 |
| DJones | exosyst: Don't forget support for 10.04 ends in about 2 months as well | 19:29 |
| Serene | how to install a folder of jar files | 19:29 |
| KingPixel | TuxBlackEdo, can't you use a USB key instead of a DVD? physical media is becoming obsolete | 19:29 |
| skjoedt | k1l, Or is it only long time support releases | 19:29 |
| exosyst | DJones, hah - the course will be done with by then. I don't need support, just the ability to install to a USB key | 19:29 |
| k1l | skjoedt: long time support | 19:29 |
| exosyst | note, that's *to* a USB key, not *from* a USB key | 19:29 |
| Cyber_Akuma | And if not, would 32gb be feasable? | 19:31 |
| synmuffin | hey all, i'm running ubuntu server 12.04 and did a apt-get install pdftk however every time i run it i get this error: http://paste8.com/104478 | 19:31 |

| exosyst | klrr, Does it not work? I don't recall which one runs so might be an idea to link your .xinitrc to it | 19:34 |
| synmuffin | exosyst, is that openjdk-7-jre package? | 19:34 |
| Or6itz | Could someone help me out. How can I zip the contents (files and folders excluding hidden files and folders) of the directory I am currently in via command line? | 19:34 |

| gdoteof | Will Ubuntu for tablets be able to use existing packages in the repos? | 19:36 |
| exosyst | klrr, How do you know it's not working? Normally it will run either your .xinitrc or .xsession after it's done the defaults. | 19:36 |
| klrr | exosyst:i mean i have to find a way to make it possible to use my .xsession in the menu of the log in screen | 19:37 |
| Zentaur | i use 12.04 and i don't want mysql to start (only if i need it) | 19:37 |
| 17WAA6T8S | hello guys | 19:37 |
| klrr | exosyst: well it does not, ill try .xinitrc too then | 19:37 |
| temporary__ | Or6itz, you could use tar i think | 19:37 |
| === IcePee is now known as Guest56848 | ||
| === 17WAA6T8S is now known as samuel | ||
| gdoteof | So apps could be developed using Python or Haskell and what not? | 19:37 |
| exosyst | Cyber_Akuma, If you've got the RAM, then why not? | 19:37 |
| exosyst | klrr, easiest is to symlink it. | 19:37 |
| exosyst | klrr, ln -s ~/.xsession ~/.xinitrc | 19:37 |
| temporary__ | Or6itz, "tar -cvpzf backup.tar.gz /path/to/backupdir" would probably work | 19:38 |
| samuel | Anyone know if Ubuntu will work on retina MBP's now that tablets and phones are supported? | 19:38 |
| samuel | as in the resolution independence bit? | 19:38 |
| exosyst | samuel, The RI stuff will come from the toolkit. I know Qt and Gtk *can* do it but I'm not sure they're currently built to allow it on Ubuntu | 19:39 |
| samuel | exosyst: I imagine that it must be soon, I hope, I am fed up with OS X | 19:40 |
| samuel | but linux does not look very nice on a high resolution display | 19:40 |
| bkc_ | samuel: well, you could set the resolution to something smaller too :) | 19:41 |
| gdoteof | The Ubuntu for tables and phones, is it the "same" Ubuntu? So I will have a terminal and be able to apt-get install normal packages? | 19:42 |
| samuel | bkc_: I have done so, but only *some* apps seem to work. Many apps seem to have 96 DPI setting hardcoded. | 19:43 |
| bkc_ | DPI != resolution :) | 19:43 |
| samuel | gdoteof: I think thats the long term goal | 19:43 |
| samuel | bkc_: I know, but you get what I mean | 19:43 |
| bkc_ | samuel: yes, regulating the DPI would be the optimal solution for high-res screens :) | 19:44 |
| Applesouce | Hey, can someone help me here, I have a problem with my WLAN. It's not working anymore :> I can connect and also I get an internal IP adress, but I can not access the network or the internet :/ (Ubuntu 12.10) | 19:44 |
| gdoteof | Samuel does that imply the first gen will not be? Like what is set to be available for devs in a couple days? | 19:44 |
| bkc_ | gdoteof: I don't think anyone can answer that before the release, unless Canonical actually said it themselfs :) | 19:45 |
| samuel | gdoteof: I really don't know. I am guessing from the video and the info available now. Its all going to be clearer in 2 days | 19:45 |
| synmuffin | :/ this sucks stupid pdftk :/ | 19:45 |
| gdoteof | Bkc_ well someone wrote some code :-). Thought maybe there had been talk of it | 19:46 |
| gdoteof | I guess I can wait | 19:46 |
| gdoteof | I would love top be able top write html5 apps on top of Haskell that run natively | 19:47 |
| bkc_ | samuel: also, most regular apps works against Qt or GTK+, so you have to set the DPI for each toolkit that's used :) | 19:47 |

| donttrustem_agai | guys, any ideas please http://pastebin.com/b6DyGSd3 | 19:48 |
| bkc_ | gdoteof: the youtube-clip speaks of webapps and "native apps", so I'm guessing there will be some kind of package-manager, and my guess is that they won't change it just for the phone/tablet-version :) | 19:48 |

| samuel | bkc_: Actually, in my experience they don't work particularly well, but to be honest I have not tried 13.04 | 19:51 |
| bkc_ | samuel: the package-manager is apt for all ubuntu-versions... synaptic/SoftwareCenter are just frontends for apt :/ | 19:52 |
| samuel | ??? | 19:52 |
| bkc_ | so unless they the whole thing, it will still use apt as the backend, in otherwords, apt-get will exist :) | 19:52 |
| bkc_ | and since they talk about connecting keyboards and mice, I'm guessing that the terminal won't go away either :) | 19:53 |

| old_man_winter | but i would defintaly stick with 12.04 or 12.10 | 20:19 |
| xangua | celso: you just have to worry about installing the updates | 20:19 |
| celso | xangua: thanks. just what i need to hear! :D | 20:21 |

| Pici | mmmbud: 13.04 is only supported in #ubuntu+1, not #ubuntu | 20:25 |

| mmmbud | thanks | 20:26 |
| k1l | bcbc2: edubuntu is not lts, iirc | 20:26 |
| celso | bcbc2: This is a new policy. The decision to have such a updated kernel and Xorg was decided at the 2012 Ubuntu Developer Summit (UDS) in Oakland. (that is why i didn't know that) | 20:26 |
| cyanboy | Can anyone help? It's kind of bothering jerking around in a full screen terminal | 20:26 |
| bcbc2 | k1l: it is now | 20:26 |
| bcbc2 | k1l: wasn't for 10.04 | 20:27 |

| nichlas | cyanboy: what's wrong with that. That's how i run my RPi :) | 20:27 |
| celso | cyanboy, what do you need? | 20:27 |
| old_man_winter | mmmbud: you do have the option of supplying your own iso and i think the nighly is 13.04 | 20:27 |
| cyanboy | When I boot up, I get a black screen with a white cursor on it | 20:27 |
| bcbc2 | k1l: This release is the first to ship with the backported kernel and X stack. This should be mostly relevant to users of very recent hardware. Current users of Edubuntu 12.04 won't be automatically updated to this backported stack, you can however manually install the packages if you want them. | 20:27 |
| celso | cyanboy, and your pc specs? | 20:28 |
| bcbc2 | k1l: that's from www.edubuntu.org | 20:28 |

| bcbc2 | k1l: this is a better link: https://wiki.ubuntu.com/Kernel/LTSEnablementStack | 20:29 |
| Pici | k1l: there is a new package in precise that is installed by default on 12.04.2 installs, but must be opted in for 12.01.1/0 installs, this would be the linux-generic-lts-quantal and xserver-xorg-lts-quantal packages. | 20:29 |

| evilbit | rasha666: that's not a google address... something is wrong... can you post the output to pastebin | 20:39 |

| no_gravity | Pici: its a software for all computer types but not for all irc channel types? | 20:44 |

| rasha666 | evilbit, my server is command line, but in command line browser it opens normaly | 20:44 |
| Pici | no_gravity: Its a non-released product, we just don't have the knowledge to provide support here. | 20:44 |

| Rcart | Pici: thanks. I have all sections there, I just wanted to know if there were no problems =) | 20:45 |

| Pici | angs: Are you sure that the ppa you listed provides packages for your Ubuntu release? | 20:49 |
| nichlas | rasha666: it depends on how you set up the network for the VM. Whether it is a bridge or a nat'ed network. | 20:49 |

| llutz | ShapeShifter499: how is that conflicting? | 21:42 |
| llutz | ShapeShifter499: i have about 12 computers here with the same username | 21:42 |
| ShapeShifter499 | I'm getting connection refused | 21:42 |
| llutz | ShapeShifter499: that means nothing listening on that port | 21:42 |
| llutz | ShapeShifter499: that has nothing to do with usernames | 21:43 |
| PadNet_201 | nothing listening on that port | 21:43 |
| llutz | ShapeShifter499: check port-forwarding, check on those machines "lsof -i :22" if ssh listens at all | 21:43 |
| ShapeShifter499 | llutz, PadNet_201 right now if I ssh using my local lan ip, 10.0.0.1 it works fine, but if I ssh using my public ip as a test it fails with "connection refused" | 21:43 |
| ShapeShifter499 | port 22 is open | 21:44 |
| PadNet_201 | is it in use by another process? | 21:44 |
| llutz | ShapeShifter499: either your portforwarding is broken, or you haven't enabled "nat loopback" | 21:44 |

| marmulak | So my laptop is booting successfully with the 12.04.1 image, not the 12.04.2 image. Either the .2 image itself has a problem or the universal pen drive install is mishandling it | 21:51 |
| PadNet_201 | agreed | 21:51 |
| ShapeShifter499 | llutz, I did it yesterday before I added my voip router into the mix..... maybe thats the issue | 21:52 |
| ShapeShifter499 | the thing is this voip router has no area for ports | 21:53 |
| llutz | ShapeShifter499: no port-forwarding menu you mean? | 21:54 |
| llutz | ShapeShifter499: buy something usable | 21:54 |

| bcbc2 | flintser: check the bootinfoscript, you might have installed grub over the windows bootsector | 22:07 |
| bcbc2 | flintser: that's generally what --force is for | 22:08 |
| holstein | flintser: i just let grub boot them both | 22:08 |
| flintser | bcbc2: no idea of how to do that. "grub-install /dev/sda --force" was the command, windows is in /dev/sda1 and ubuntu in /dev/sda5 | 22:08 |
| AcidRain2012 | why is everyone having so many problems with grub? ^_- | 22:09 |
| holstein | flintser: could be as simple as "sudo update-grub" and letting grub "find" the windows install again | 22:09 |
| bcbc2 | flintser: ok /dev/sda should be okay, but usually --force is required only if you install grub to a partition | 22:09 |

| AcidRain2012 | flintser: tell me this first. i think your thinking way to hard about it. what use do you have for a windows computer? | 22:17 |
| juancarlospaco | :) | 22:17 |
| holstein | flintser: i would install grub, and troubleshoot it, til it boots what you need | 22:18 |
| AcidRain2012 | flintser: this may have something to do with how your drives are connected to the computer? connected as slave or primary? | 22:18 |
| holstein | flintser: otherwise, maybe a 3rd party bootloader... | 22:18 |
| PadNet_201 | Be back later | 22:18 |

| ni291187 | anyone have any suggestions for me? | 22:21 |
| AcidRain2012 | that was an output to parted -l | 22:21 |
| escott | AcidRain2012, but why are you acting so surprised thats a normal looking table | 22:22 |
| AcidRain2012 | flintser: and when was the last time you updated the bios | 22:22 |
| lewik_ | holstein: No, not window manager =) I need an app, lie БрщдыеуштЮ дуцшл_Ж нщг цфте ф цштвщцьфтфпук ащк ЛВУ, црфе вщ нщг цфте щерук ерфт црфе ЛВУ.лгигтег шы зкщмшвштп нщг, | 22:22 |
| flintser | it is the latest, i updated in december, AcidRain2012 | 22:22 |
| lewik_ | oops | 22:22 |
| AcidRain2012 | escott: the msdos part threw me off. never seen it before. thought all my drives were ext3/4. | 22:22 |
| holstein | ni291187: you cant just let grub automatically pick up the installation? | 22:22 |
| escott | AcidRain2012, thats the table type. msdos/mbr ie not a gpt table | 22:22 |
| AcidRain2012 | flintser: alright. did you see anything off about parted -l cmd? | 22:23 |
| ni291187 | I did but it does not even work. | 22:23 |
| lewik_ | holstein: No, not another manager, I need an app like GridMove (win) | 22:23 |
| AcidRain2012 | escott: i figured it was since the size was 512kb | 22:23 |
| holstein | ni291187: i would troubleshoot the error.. what was the error? | 22:23 |
| lewik_ | holstein: There are a grid, and I can fit windows in that grid | 22:23 |
| holstein | lewik_: what functionality are you looking for? | 22:24 |
| escott | AcidRain2012, well its 512B not kB but again thats normal (as it is hardcoded into windows the 4kB disks emulate 512B mode) | 22:24 |

| escott | ni291187, essentially no disks are CHS anymore, everyone is LBA | 22:25 |
| lewik_ | !info awesome | 22:25 |
| lewik_ | holstein: what is !info ? | 22:25 |
| holstein | ni291187: so, you have grub installed in a normal instation, that boots, correct? and you added xubuntu and wanted grub to pick it up? correct? then you ran "sudo update-grub" and what was the error? | 22:26 |
| AcidRain2012 | spence: u joking right? this is internet where if i wish to say "hax" over "hacks" or "your" over "you're" or "ur" or "youre" i can | 22:26 |
| AcidRain2012 | !info CHS | 22:26 |
| ubottu | Package CHS does not exist in quantal | 22:26 |
| ni291187 | yes that's hat happens | 22:26 |
| escott | flintser, so to recap you have what appears to be a perfectly normal disk layout. you probably have EFI but it seems to be booting in bios emulation mode. you installed alongside windows and with lilo (?!?!) installed to the mbr windows boots, with grub installed to the (PBR? MBR?) linux will boot. but windows gives a disk error if booted from grub | 22:26 |
| ni291187 | *what happend | 22:27 |
| holstein | ni291187: you didint manually add it then? | 22:27 |
| lewik_ | holstein: no, i think awesome not at all i want. GridMove: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=wQp9GbqNVWY | 22:27 |
| spence | id10t | 22:27 |
| escott | flintser, my suggestions would be (a) use syslinux instead of lilo or just get windows booting and ask it to fixmbr to get you back to a normal traditional MBR. then make sure when you install grub in the chroot that you are installing to the MBR not the PBR | 22:27 |
| ni291187 | well I tried to manually add it after the automatic one didn't work. | 22:28 |
| flintser | argh i've got nowhere on my issue yet :/ do i have any hope trying this? http://www.helyar.net/2010/fix-windows-7-mbr-after-grub/ | 22:28 |
| holstein | ni291187: undo what you have done.. run the automatic one again , and lets go from there | 22:28 |
| ni291187 | ok I'll do that one sec. | 22:29 |
| escott | holstein, that will put the windows loader onto the mbr (and remove lilo) | 22:29 |
| holstein | lewik_: i would ask in #kubuntu, since i have only done that in gnome2 with compiz | 22:29 |
| escott | holstein, sorry. meant for flintser | 22:29 |
| escott | flinster, that will put the windows loader onto the mbr (and remove lilo) | 22:29 |
| holstein | escott: no worries | 22:30 |
| flintser | escott: wont grub-install /dev/sda install it in to the mbr? when mounted sda5 into /mnt and chrooted into that. | 22:30 |
| escott | flintser, my main question is what was this error that your --force'd with grub-install | 22:30 |
| flintser | sda5 is my linux install | 22:30 |
| holstein | lewik_: http://linuxology.wordpress.com/2009/12/08/yes-we-can-kde-aero-snap-like/ | 22:30 |
| flintser | escott: i think not, but i must investigate | 22:30 |
| lewik_ | holstein: no... Aerosnap contains grid with two cells, I need much more and I want tune them | 22:31 |
| flintser | escott: i dont have efi | 22:31 |
| escott | flintser, you said it was a new laptop though. so you probably have efi, but it seems to be booting in bios mode so i dont see any evidence that efi is a problem here | 22:32 |
| flintser | escott: never said that :) this is desktop pc from -08 | 22:32 |

| MartynKeigher | help would be appreciated. thanks. | 22:34 |
| escott | flintser, ok. i misread "latest you can get on asus p5n-d" | 22:34 |
| escott | flintser, i do wonder if that bios would have problems booting late into the disk. you are able to boot linux in some form though right? | 22:34 |
| escott | MartynKeigher, elevate your session? you just ssh in and then "sudo command" | 22:35 |
| MartynKeigher | how owuld i do that in winscp? | 22:36 |
| flintser | as i said, before any ubuntu touched this machine i had working win7. i installed ubuntu and win7 stopped working. i created lilo mbr to boot back in windows but it overrides grub. then i reinstalled grub and my situation is now the same as when i first installed ubuntu, escott | 22:36 |

| escott | flintser, and when you reinstalled grub what command did you use? | 22:38 |
| ni291187 | holstein did you see my error now. | 22:39 |
| ejv | MartynKeigher: it's suggested you download an SSH/Telnet client like Putty (free); however you can open a terminal through WinSCP by navigating to Commmands > Open Terminal; or typing [Ctrl] + [T] | 22:39 |
| flintser | grub-install /dev/sda --force, and yes i know the force could have been the issue. i used it to skip error will not continue with blocklists | 22:41 |

| escott | flintser, grub2 has two stages more or less. the initial bootloader reads data out of the mbr and then finds additional data usually placed just after the mbr. It then uses that code to find and read the partition containing /boot at which point it can get all the modules and present the menu | 22:44 |

| kochmen | and on Mozilla | 22:45 |
| escott | flintser, the blocklists indicates that there is insufficient space between the MBR and windows causing grub to use blocklists whcih other programs (ie windows) might inadvertently destroy | 22:45 |
| kochmen | Egiphany and Midori | 22:45 |
| kochmen | I install Flash | 22:45 |

| SonikkuAmerica | kochmen: How did you install it? | 22:46 |
| flintser | escott: so ineed to do what? | 22:46 |
| Duke_ | kochmen: hm... every flash or a flash from a specific page? | 22:46 |
| escott | flintser, i suspect you have something installed on windows like a Adobe Creative Suite or a Video Game DRM that is storing information in the space just after the mbr. grub sees this and tries not to step on it, but then has to do things that make grub not work correctly or inadvertently damage the windows partition | 22:46 |

| Strav` | Hi. I'm looking for a cross-platform tagging software that would allow to: 1. quickly tag any type of files, 2. have a client/server architecture so that the tag database is shared amongst multiple clients (so that it won't need to be reconstructed everytime), 3. is able to extract existing meta-data (music id tags for instance) and provide this as a basis for further tagging. 4. let's you quickly search the tag database and optionally | 22:46 |

| dan770 | hi guys, I'm a little new to ubuntu and I have some questions. | 22:58 |
| bcbc2 | flintser: yes it runs in Windows - I was thinking Microsoft when you asked ;) | 22:58 |
| Dead-Pixel | like it is played in slow motion | 22:58 |
| SonikkuAmerica | dan770: Ask up! | 22:58 |
| Dead-Pixel | 1s = 2s or so it seems | 22:58 |
| Dead-Pixel | shwaiil, sudo usermod -d /path/to/new/home -m | 22:59 |
| Dead-Pixel | this moves home directory and files to new location, and updates system file that stores location of home dir | 22:59 |
| escott | Dead-Pixel, is the pitch correct? | 22:59 |
| dan770 | well you see right now, I'm running it from a flash drive. I'm running that newest version you had to download on the website. I've tried to permanently install it over and over, but everytime it tells me to restart and when I do, it acts like there's nothing on the hard disk | 22:59 |
| Dead-Pixel | how would pitch be correct if song is being played in slow mo at intervals? | 22:59 |
| dan770 | that is it keeps just booting up like new from the flash drive | 22:59 |
| SonikkuAmerica | dan770: Take out the flash drive. | 23:00 |
| Dead-Pixel | lol dan when it reboots are you just booting again to the flash drive? | 23:00 |
| shwaiil | Dead-Pixel: Thanks a lot for looking! If I want to read more about that, I should take a look into usermod -d ? | 23:00 |
| Dead-Pixel | shwaiil, yes, specifically the -d argument in usermod | 23:00 |
| shwaiil | Dead-Pixel: thanks ; ) | 23:00 |
| dan770 | oh are you saying because i still have it set to run from a flash drive that's why that's happening? | 23:01 |
| escott | Dead-Pixel, shwaiil that command needs a username at the end of ti | 23:01 |
| Dead-Pixel | yes because you are booting to the flash drive dan | 23:01 |

| Dead-Pixel | escott, yeah idk his username tho, he has the command he can man it :) | 23:01 |

| Dead-Pixel | is the site on the interweb machine fluxd? | 23:04 |
| Dead-Pixel | are you accessing via IP or hostname | 23:04 |
| FluxD | Dead-Pixel, on my hope I accessed using ip and hostname, dead on both | 23:05 |
| FluxD | home* | 23:05 |
| Dead-Pixel | is the site you are trying to access on the internet, or on a private network | 23:05 |
| Dead-Pixel | does the ip start with 10.x or 172.x or 192.x ? | 23:06 |
| FluxD | Dead-Pixel, internet | 23:06 |
| Dead-Pixel | check your DNS server for resolution to that host, check your firewall/NAT for resolution to that IP | 23:06 |
| SonikkuAmerica | Typically 192.168.X.X is a Cisco/Linksys router, and 163.11.X.X is a Meru one. | 23:07 |
| FluxD | Dead-Pixel, it starts with 88, and it is public for sure, not private | 23:07 |
| Dead-Pixel | can you ping the IP? does the server accept ICMP requests? | 23:07 |
| Dead-Pixel | if you can ping then you are reaching it layer 3 of the OSI | 23:08 |
| === Krenair_ is now known as Krenair | ||
| Dead-Pixel | FluxD, if you can ping the IP of your site, then you are reaching it and you are troubleshooting layer 4-7 of OSI for why your page is not loading | 23:09 |
| FluxD | Dead-Pixel, ping works fine too | 23:10 |
| === dcope_ is now known as dcope | ||
| Dead-Pixel | ok then no need to use trace route if pings go through | 23:10 |
| Dead-Pixel | you can reach the site | 23:10 |
| Dead-Pixel | you need to find out why it is not loading, what protocol is it using, if it is obscure protocol/port you might need to configure your client firewall | 23:10 |
| dwatkins | What controls which services start and stop at boot-time, i.e. which symlinks exist in /etc/rc2.d (assuming default runlevel of 2), please? | 23:10 |

| === Inoperable is now known as zz_Inoperable | ||
| FluxD | Dead-Pixel, I am not using any firewall, just a router | 23:11 |
| Dead-Pixel | FluxD, what is the site, just an http page on port 80? | 23:13 |
| FluxD | Dead-Pixel, unfortunately, I cant share url but yes | 23:13 |
| alex_M | give us the ip or the url plz | 23:13 |
| lewik_ | ShalokShalom: nop ... Not that app =) | 23:14 |
| n-iCe | what can I use to burn a movie to make it play on my home dvd? | 23:14 |
| n-iCe | I don't care about menus or anything I just want it to play it | 23:14 |
| Dead-Pixel | FluxD, is this an IIS server? does it use authentication? | 23:14 |
| === ubuntu is now known as Guest51554 | ||
| FluxD | Dead-Pixel, , nope simple lamp server | 23:14 |
| FluxD | It works from all other locations except my home | 23:14 |
| Dead-Pixel | can you access through other networks or proxies like tor? | 23:14 |
| lewik_ | Any one know app that can more than QuickTile? More places and freedom to set them for windows? | 23:15 |
| FluxD | Dead-Pixel, yep with no problems on IP and hostname | 23:15 |
| Dead-Pixel | sounds like a security restriction through either software/hardware firewall blocking that traffic from the server | 23:15 |
| Dead-Pixel | or misconfigured DNS | 23:15 |
| alex_M | maybe you need to go to router setting and port forward or perhaps make sure that the directory the file is in has proper permissions | 23:15 |
| weox | hello , how can i found which is the latest version of unity package on ubuntu official repos ?? ( i am on another distro , and thats cause ) | 23:16 |
| Dead-Pixel | even if you go http://ipaddress, the return communication is through hostname based off your scripting, but you should load "something" by doing http://ip | 23:16 |
