Myrtti | enigmuriatic: it's more about the kernel developers adding support for it - I don't know how quickly they work but some of them seem to buy new macbooks just to get them working. It's not instantaneous though | 00:02 |

ecen | Hello people! I recently installed Ubuntu 12.10 (first time Linux) through the windows installer on this laptop of mine. Bad thing is, Ubuntu is running much slower than native win7 64-bit, and I'm getting lots of app freezes and crashes. Any ideas on what I could do to boost performance/prevent crashes? Any noob mistakes I am likely to have done? | 00:06 |

magn3ts | enigmuriatic: well, they're not mapped. You can map swipes to things if you want sure. | 00:07 |
magn3ts | The unity multitouch handler is stupid though, I don't use it. | 00:07 |
Praxi | I'm setting up an zmanda server, I'm going to be moving the backups off to a USB drive for off site storage. Any recomendations for file systems that work between ubuntu, mac, & windows that can handle a 3TB drive? I've been using exfat for mac/windows, but not sure how well that will play with ubuntu. | 00:09 |
enigmuriatic | magn3ts, does that mean you don't have mutlitouch? | 00:10 |
histo | Praxi: With ext3 you'd have to install ext3 support into windows. With ntfs you need to installntfs support into linux so choice is yours. Either way one of htem needs to be extended. | 00:11 |
ment0s | Hello | 00:11 |
=== white_sororitas is now known as Lisandra_brave | ||
histo | Praxi: ubuntu will handle ntfs out of the box though I believe now. So I guess you would go with that. | 00:12 |
Praxi | thanks histo assumed as much. Have you ever played with exfat on linux? | 00:12 |
Vivekananda | How do I make a back up of my /home to another location. using cp without sudo skips files. Using with sudo changes permissions of some of the copied folders to root ( cannot open file). If I do chmod then All files will ahve permissions removed including some which should have it !! | 00:12 |
histo | Praxi: No | 00:12 |
Praxi | I see some ppa's for a fuse version of it, just fishing for thoughts on it | 00:13 |
ment0s | I have a weird problem.., I am running ubuntu 12.04 and I cannot login to ebay :O I've tried chrome,firefox and midori and its the same on all of them , could anyone help ? ive tried to lookup google but it seems to be only me having this problme | 00:13 |
histo | Vivekananda: What other location are you trying to copy to? | 00:13 |
Praxi | exfat works on latest windows & mac, so it seems the easiest to deal with | 00:13 |
histo | Praxi: What is exfat? | 00:13 |
Praxi | MS recognizing the need for an extended fat | 00:13 |

histo | Vivekananda: rsync -av /home/Vivekanand /path/to/other/location | 00:14 |
Vivekananda | it is an external hard drive. What should I use so all files are copied with proper permissions | 00:14 |
angs | I have my files on ~/x/my_dir , but I want to directory as ~/my_dir how can I do it? | 00:14 |
ment0s | exfat = fat64 | 00:14 |
Praxi | histo: http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/ExFAT | 00:14 |
histo | Praxi: I wouldn't trust it for backups | 00:14 |

Vivekananda | histo: I did the sudo cp and I understood tha with sudo nothing can go wrong now I see that the created copy says 1,018 items, totalling 420.7 MB(some contents unreadable) and the parent folder | 00:17 |
Vivekananda | 4,772 items, totalling 397.2 MB | 00:17 |

Bray90820 | sorry if i am asking to many times | 00:24 |
histo | Vivekananda: Are you copying to a fat drive? | 00:24 |
Bray90820 | i just really want this bug worked out | 00:24 |
dr_willis | Bray90820: i imagine its a kernel bug. so normal people are not going to be having any fix. have you tested this in 13.04 yet? | 00:24 |
histo | Bray90820: I would check in other kernels try a newer one try an older one. Or even try the latest from kernel.org | 00:24 |
Vivekananda | histo: no it is an ext3 drive. I would like to know if there are files on the /home which require root permissions to open. If this is not the case then a simple cp source/ dest/ should work or a cut and paste | 00:24 |
Vivekananda | shouldnt it ? | 00:25 |
histo | !kernel | Bray90820 | 00:25 |
ubottu | Bray90820: The core of Ubuntu is the Linux kernel: see https://help.ubuntu.com/community/Kernel - You shouldn't have to compile your own, and if you need to troubleshoot issues, you can try a !Mainline kernel instead, but if you insist, see https://help.ubuntu.com/community/Kernel/Compile (see also !Stages) | 00:25 |
histo | Vivekananda: Yes | 00:25 |
Vivekananda | does copying the files as root change the permissions on the files too ?? | 00:25 |
dr_willis | Vivekananda: backing up the .gvfs directory is going to have issues.. since its a special directory | 00:25 |
dr_willis | Vivekananda: cp has options to keep the oroginal peremissions/ownership | 00:26 |
Bray90820 | there is a thread about the netbook on the ubuntu forums | 00:26 |
histo | Vivekananda: Is there a reason you want to use cp? | 00:26 |
Vivekananda | dr_willis: Yes it is giving me the errors but everyone I was trying to do a simple copy all and paste. I did not hope to spend 2 hours on this | 00:26 |

Bray90820 | ubottu it seems to work in other ubuntu based distros such as JollyOS | 00:27 |
ubottu | Bray90820: I am only a bot, please don't think I'm intelligent :) | 00:27 |
dr_willis | Vivekananda: you dont try to backup .gvfs and use the proper options to cp or use rsync to backup - would be the normal way | 00:27 |
histo | Vivekananda: root takes ownership of the files when you cp the way you are doing it. | 00:27 |
Vivekananda | histo: no reason. I was just using the simplest command I know to cp and paste. Now I find that even if I do a sudo the source and dest have different no of files with different sizes and what not | 00:27 |
Bray90820 | ubottu | 00:27 |
ment0s | Vivekananda: why dont you simply chown and chmod after copying ? | 00:28 |
dr_willis | Bray90820: ubottu is just a bot/scripted client | 00:28 |
Bray90820 | oh nevermind then | 00:28 |
Bray90820 | histo it seems to work in other ubuntu based distos such as Jolly OS | 00:28 |
dr_willis | Bray90820: you mean JoliOS | 00:29 |
Vivekananda | ment0s: yes I can do that but that is not the problem . The first and foremost problem is that I believed that no matter the permissions and the problems with .gfvs folder the other folders will be copied to the destination and I should see the same size with same number of files with sudo | 00:29 |
Vivekananda | this is not happenning | 00:29 |
Bray90820 | yes | 00:29 |
Bray90820 | sorry for the spelling | 00:29 |
histo | Vivekananda: rsync -ax /home/vivek /other/location will copy the files you want and not try and copy .gvfs | 00:29 |
histo | Vivekananda: you can add --progress if you want in there also you can see it go along it's merry way | 00:29 |
Vivekananda | histo: I get your point. rsync is great. My question is why does sudo cp not give me two identical folders except for the .gvfs | 00:30 |
histo | Vivekananda: Are you taking into account that .gvfs isn't there? | 00:30 |
dr_willis | Bray90820: that is an interesting fact.. since im not sure what kernel JoliOs is curently using.. i ddient even think it was still being developed | 00:30 |
dr_willis | Vivekananda: identical as in same owner/permissions? or whats differnt? | 00:31 |
Vivekananda | dr_willis: Identical meaning same number of files and same size of parent and child folder ( excluding .gvfs of course) | 00:33 |
Bray90820 | dr_willis here is a bunch of into on the jolios kernel https://github.com/jolicloud/jolicloud-robby-kernel | 00:33 |
Vivekananda | dr_willis: If I use sudo and cp will that copy the hidden , .files also ? I hope it should | 00:33 |
histo | Vivekananda: diff /home/vivek /path/you/copied/to | 00:34 |
histo | see the difference | 00:34 |
Vivekananda | lol histo; destination says 400 mbs source is 3 gbs | 00:34 |
Vivekananda | lol | 00:34 |
dr_willis | Vivekananda: cp needs an option to copy hidden files. | 00:34 |
Vivekananda | my head is spinning now | 00:34 |

threex5 | I need to put win7 back on my ubuntu machine. I was hoping for single boot but my DAW is sucking me back into dual boot | 00:35 |
ment0s | Vivekananda: mbs ? gbs ?? you mean mb and gb right | 00:35 |
Salastil | or set channels as persistent so I can minimize to tray | 00:35 |
Vivekananda | dr_willis: so you mean if I do sudo cp -R source/ dest/ it will still need arguments before copying everything ? | 00:35 |
Vivekananda | yes | 00:35 |
Vivekananda | ment0s: | 00:35 |
ment0s | just copy it with cp -rp again | 00:35 |
Vivekananda | yes | 00:35 |
threex5 | somehow my /home partition ended up as a logical partition and not a primary one. I notice no performance problem but I need to cut this partition in half to get win7 back | 00:36 |
Vivekananda | I am going to do it again | 00:36 |
Vivekananda | tried grsyn now | 00:36 |
threex5 | does it matter if my windows7 partition is logical? maybe this is a stupid question | 00:36 |
Vivekananda | if this doesnot work I will just take a disk partition image and store it | 00:36 |
histo | threex5: windows will not be happy on a logical | 00:36 |
ment0s | Vivekananda: I have joined in the middle of convo, could you quick exmplain what kind of files are you compying ? does have it anything to do with google drive? | 00:36 |
histo | threex5: You can double check in #windows also windows will blow out grub when it installs. | 00:37 |
histo | ment0s: He's trying to cp his home with sudo for some reason. | 00:37 |
Vivekananda | ment0s: I have /home as a separate partition and I have /media/A/ As my external ext3 partitioned hard drive | 00:37 |
histo | Vivekananda: Why are you using sudo? | 00:38 |
Vivekananda | I am trying to create a Complete copy of /home and later restore it and I tried cp then found that it leaves some files ( permission and hidden issues) so I figured I can deal with permisisons later but sudo cp -R should copy EVerything as sudo is the god command | 00:39 |
ment0s | thats a good question in first place | 00:39 |
ment0s | so if /home is separate partiton then use dd to file and then restore it with dd also | 00:39 |
histo | Vivekananda: Are there multiple users in /home ? | 00:39 |
Vivekananda | no it is a simple laptop one user , me only | 00:40 |
dr_willis | people never seem to get sudo.. :-D | 00:40 |
histo | Vivekananda: you user should be able to copy his /home/username folder without issues what files did you find that it leaves? | 00:40 |
threex5 | histo, I can live with that as long as it gives me a similar boot loader | 00:40 |
threex5 | thanks for the advice about the logical partition. I'll make sure it's primary | 00:41 |
ment0s | dd if=/dev/(home partiton) of=/media/A/home.img | 00:41 |
histo | threex5: No you can't boot linux after windows blows out your boot loader. You'll have to reinstall grub. It's alwasy best to install windows first due to this issue with their installer | 00:41 |
Vivekananda | histo I will have to run that again to find out . I simply wanted to cut /home and paste it on /media/A/ ie either mv or copy | 00:41 |
dr_willis | rsync would be a beter way i belive | 00:41 |
Vivekananda | it is good that I did not mv or would have been a total mess now | 00:41 |
threex5 | histo, does the ubuntu live disk give you the option to recreate grub? | 00:41 |
histo | Vivekananda: Don't copy /home copy /home/username | 00:42 |
ment0s | Vivekananda: Use dd, it will copy permissions and every hidden file | 00:42 |
nonchalanto | I saw a few of the mark shuttleworth's recent videos and a few times how you can transparently use windows apps (like a thin client) on the desktop. daes anyone know how? | 00:42 |
Vivekananda | ment0s: I heard that dd was a scary command and not to be used unless required necessarily | 00:42 |
Vivekananda | no ? | 00:42 |
Lynxx | whats sudo? | 00:43 |
histo | Vivekananda: It would allow you to backup the entire partition that /home is on. | 00:43 |
Vivekananda | I dont want to store the alignment and all just the files for back up | 00:43 |
Bray90820 | yes or bo would this flag disable acpi | 00:43 |
histo | !sudo | Lynxx | 00:43 |
ubottu | Lynxx: sudo is a command to run command-line programs with superuser privileges ("root") (also see !cli). Look at https://help.ubuntu.com/community/RootSudo for more information. For graphical applications see !gksu (GNOME, Xfce), or !kdesudo (KDE). If you're unable to execute commands with sudo see: http://www.psychocats.net/ubuntu/fixsudo | 00:43 |
Bray90820 | http://pastebin.com/raw.php?i=SmuqUmET | 00:43 |
nonchalanto | Lynxx: ? check the man page or google | 00:43 |
Vivekananda | histo: yes i know but I was content with just folder backup without going for the overkill. | 00:43 |
MrKeuner | hello, playing with orca... how can I perform key combination kp_Add | 00:43 |
histo | Vivekananda: I still want to know what files where left? | 00:43 |
Lynxx | how come windows update doesnt work on ubuntu | 00:43 |
Praxi | ... | 00:44 |
nonchalanto | Lynxx: good question | 00:44 |
Vivekananda | histo: yes I will be glad to tell you but right now I ran sudo rsync :( I am waiting for it to finish and then try the regular copy and then tell you what is missing :( | 00:44 |
Lynxx | yes because im trying to update and it doesnt let me | 00:44 |
histo | Vivekananda: STOP USING SUDO you don't need it | 00:44 |
histo | jejsus | 00:44 |
Vivekananda | histo: :) sure , right after I see this one through. Btw does the /home folder contain files normally, that require root permissions to open? | 00:45 |
g16 | lol, he's scared of dd and not of sudo | 00:45 |
nonchalanto | lol | 00:46 |
MrKeuner | hello, playing with orca... how can I perform key combination KP_Add | 00:46 |
histo | Vivekananda: no | 00:46 |
Vivekananda | g16: :) Yes I know . But I did not want to use it . I however know only two ways of copying over files that say ( copy permission denied) either chmod / chown it to myself or become root so everything can be copied ? do you find this completely illogical ? | 00:47 |
MrKeuner | aaaah KP must be keypad so keypad plus | 00:47 |
histo | Vivekananda: Although yours probably does with your missuse of sudo i'm sure root owns several files in /home for some odd reason. | 00:47 |
MrKeuner | unfortunately this is a laptop... :( | 00:47 |
Vivekananda | histo: no harm done . I will just delete the child and copy over again with the ways you suggested. I am just testing my understanding of sudo in a harmless manner is all | 00:48 |
Vivekananda | histo: in the event that some files do have root permissions and I want to create a full back up of the /home. how do I copy those files over ?? | 00:48 |
ment0s | chown and chmod everything inside /home/yourusername with your permissions from root | 00:49 |
Vivekananda | and without sudo as you mentioned above what else do I do to copy ?? will dd do it ? | 00:49 |
awolfey1 | I have new problem, where I can no longer access new localhost sites (apache) I try to access http://mysite and am redirected to http://www.mysite.com This is only true for the most recent site I've added. Previous sites still load the correct local site. | 00:49 |
Vivekananda | ment0s_: but histo mentioned that some folder are by default under sudo in the /home too. In that case if I do what you say then it will ruin those folders wont it ? | 00:50 |
awolfey1 | I've tried completely renaming the site and flushing local dns. | 00:50 |
awolfey1 | The same thing happens on chrome and firefox | 00:51 |

SixtyFold | i did that | 00:53 |
Vivekananda | ment0s_: Also which lightweight ubuntu should I download to install on the computer for 12.04 and also to create a live usb drive for it first ? | 00:53 |
SixtyFold | it doesnt seem to remove as much as it installed | 00:53 |
g16 | SixtyFold: elaborate? what did you expect? | 00:54 |
awolfey1 | try apt-get autoremove to remove unneeded dependencies | 00:54 |
SixtyFold | okay | 00:54 |
threex5 | are there any ways yet to get windows to read/write to ext4? | 00:54 |

awolfey1 | threex5: no, at me | 00:56 |
threex5 | heh ok | 00:56 |
Vivekananda | histo: executing the simple cp -R command now for home to external media | 00:58 |
Vivekananda | without the sudo | 00:58 |
dr_willis | hmm -R does get hidden files? I dont recall | 00:59 |
Vivekananda | dr_willis: -R is only recursive | 01:00 |
Vivekananda | should I try with hidden files ? | 01:00 |
dr_willis | you do want your settings? | 01:01 |
newubuntu12 | I just installed Ubuntu 12.04.2 and I want to know how to change it to Gnome 2, I installed Gnome-session-fallback but it installed Gnome3 | 01:02 |
dr_willis | newubuntu12: fallback is a feature of gnome3 | 01:02 |
newubuntu12 | is there a way to install Gnome 2 instead of 3 to get the old desktop manager? | 01:02 |
dr_willis | its a gnome2 look alike | 01:02 |
newubuntu12 | well I have a top panel, can I remove the sidebar? | 01:03 |
newubuntu12 | it still looks like unity | 01:03 |
threex5 | ok, let me rephrase that then. If you have dual boot, with a linux OS, a windows OS and a data partition, what filesystem should i use? I want the data partition to mount as /home when on linus | 01:03 |
threex5 | linux | 01:04 |
dr_willis | sounds like you dident select the right sessii | 01:04 |
dr_willis | sessiin at the login screen | 01:04 |
ment0s_ | newubuntu12: you should install gnome shell and then choose session to failback | 01:04 |
Vivekananda | dr_willis: I to get back this home directory as it is now everything intact after I repartition | 01:04 |
dr_willis | threex5: use ext2/3/4 for linux home mormallt | 01:05 |
dr_willis | normally | 01:05 |
Nach0z | mostly 4 | 01:05 |
Nach0z | cuz 4. | 01:05 |
g16 | threex: I'd rather have Linx own the /home and have a separate data partition mounted under that | 01:05 |
threex5 | thanks, dr_willis. I don't know of any tools that allow you to write to ext4 from windows, though | 01:05 |
dr_willis | Vivekananda: so yiu need the .* files | 01:05 |
g16 | As for the fs, you can choose FAT if you do not need symlinks, ACLs, and such. | 01:05 |
Vivekananda | ment0s_: dr_willis : which version ofubuntu should I download for lightweight but can do everything for 12.04 ? L ubuntu or x ubuntu or ?? | 01:05 |
g16 | NTFS is an alternative. | 01:06 |
Vivekananda | dr_willis: yep I do | 01:06 |
threex5 | EXT2 IFS supposedly writes to ext3 but it doesn't say on their website that it does | 01:06 |
dr_willis | threex5: I wouldn't trust any of those tools | 01:06 |
ment0s_ | Vivekananda: crunchbang :D | 01:06 |
Vivekananda | and all other files too . ( If I can get all files ie ) | 01:06 |
bdmeyersc | I'm trying to see what file is being denied access to. I no var/log/messages, and security in Ubuntu, I Don 'the see anything in syslog where do I find this in Ubuntu? | 01:06 |
dem0nk | Vivekananda, Lubuntu | 01:06 |
dem0nk | :) | 01:06 |
dr_willis | ! lubuntu | 01:07 |
dem0nk | Lightweight... simple... and much faster than any *ubuntu | 01:07 |
ubottu | lubuntu is Ubuntu with LXDE instead of !GNOME as desktop environment, which makes it extremely lightweight. See https://wiki.ubuntu.com/Lubuntu - /join #lubuntu for lubuntu support. | 01:07 |
Vivekananda | dem0n: ok I am downloading it now | 01:07 |
robin0800 | threex5ntfs is best for windows and linux can read ntfs | 01:07 |
ment0s_ | Vivekananda: xubuntu kubuntu bubuntu or whatever *buntu is still the same ubuntu just with different desktop enviroment. | 01:07 |
threex5 | dr_willis, then what do people do when they want to share their data across OSes? | 01:07 |
dr_willis | threex5: linux can read/write ntfs | 01:08 |
dem0nk | true... there is crunchbag, dirtbag and a thousand distros... but... ubuntu sure is the most reliable... and sensible distro :) | 01:08 |
ment0s_ | so If you have ubuntu right now, then install lxde and you have lubuntu or whatever its called and its the same lightweith as the other one | 01:08 |
threex5 | right but my /home partition shouldn't be ntfs | 01:08 |
dr_willis | yu DONT use ntfs for home | 01:08 |
Vivekananda | ment0s_: yep I got that but I am not very familiar will all these and have used gnome mostly. I am not sure how different the usage for these would be as compared to gnome eg do I get multiple desktops or could I get compiz or similar effects if I wanted to ? | 01:08 |
dr_willis | it wont work | 01:08 |
dem0nk | no offense to other linux distros... but it's a fact. | 01:08 |
threex5 | ok but home is where I keep my files | 01:08 |
dr_willis | you can keep the files on a mtfs if you wanted | 01:09 |
dr_willis | but not all of /home | 01:09 |
dem0nk | mtfs : mother of tyranny file system :) | 01:09 |
ment0s_ | Vivekananda: damm simple :) its just gui. and this is power of linux. if you dont like file manager which is included to xubuntu then you have ability to install standard one etc. I currently upgrading to 13.04 but running openbox and its damm lightweith | 01:09 |
ment0s_ | Vivekananda: so in my opinion just stay with ubuntu and possibly install lxde and you are sorted. | 01:11 |
Vivekananda | ment0s_: yep so I am going to download lubuntu 12.04 as .iso and create a bootable usb with it . Then will use it to install ubuntu later on the system If I choose to format. | 01:11 |
ethanh | could some one help me installing drivers for a usb ethernet adapter? | 01:12 |
Vivekananda | I am on lucid now and it is dying that is why I had to move on. Also I have a pretty oldie laptop. Not even sure if the newer systems would work on it esp graphics and all. If it does not then I will have nothing left:( | 01:12 |
dem0nk | dr_willis, dude you're the same dr_willis from few years back right? are you employed by canonical for IRC support . :) | 01:12 |
dem0nk | can't recall a single time I've been here and not seen you... | 01:13 |
threex5 | ok i think I know what i'll do. I'll get rid of the /home partition and just have home on the root. dr_willis, can I just remove the line in fstab that mounts /home in a different directory and just make sure my home folder is in the root directory? | 01:13 |
threex5 | or is it more complicated to remove home | 01:13 |
ment0s_ | Vivekananda: linux is running on raspberry pi very smoothly .. dont worry about your old laptop. Linux will possibly run on pretty much everyting what have CPU and RAM | 01:13 |
ment0s_ | *smoothly ( with proper setup) | 01:14 |
Vivekananda | yes that I know kind of and like too . The only problem has been graphics card drivers compatibility | 01:14 |
dem0nk | threex5, you could mount home... and your ntfs... then... move the folders in home... to your ntfs.... and create symbolic links on your home folder... | 01:14 |
ment0s_ | Vivekananda: what laptop is this | 01:14 |
ethanh | ??? | 01:15 |
threex5 | dem0nk, that's what i plan to do | 01:15 |
threex5 | but for now, I need to move the files that are in /home | 01:15 |
threex5 | oh, my idea is a little different than yours | 01:15 |
dem0nk | three18ti, moving the home totally is not a good idea... as you can see.. there are lots of program files on it... hidden files... starting with dots... | 01:15 |
threex5 | it's basically the same, but there's no /home partition | 01:16 |
threex5 | just root or / | 01:16 |
Vivekananda | ment0s_: One thing, suppose I have lubuntu or Xubuntu, can I install libre office on it ? It has a different word processor by default but I want something a little better like libre office for my college /work | 01:16 |
dem0nk | threex5, you will loose file permissions | 01:16 |
threex5 | but the home folder in the root partition has symbolic links | 01:16 |
dem0nk | if you use ntfs | 01:16 |

Vivekananda | 1.6 ghz max | 01:17 |
Vivekananda | ok got it | 01:17 |
Vivekananda | dr_willis: did you tell me what to use for copying the hidden files. histo asked me to tell him what a normal cp leaves behind and I would like to try it | 01:18 |
dr_willis | Vivekananda: cp has some extra options you need | 01:18 |
ment0s_ | Vivekananda: this is great laptop for linux, most of network technicians using it. dont think there should be big problem with your graphics | 01:18 |
threex5 | alright i'll give it a shot. thanks for the help. | 01:18 |
dr_willis | Vivekananda: ianything thats hidden .* would not get copied without the extra options | 01:19 |
Vivekananda | ment0s_: is it. nice to know . It lags sometimes though I dont know why although I once cleaned it up by opening it and removed the heatsync | 01:19 |
Vivekananda | but did not put the gel before resealing and that might be the isssue but it does not get very hot or loud. my hard drive and ram are also failing slowly | 01:20 |
ment0s_ | dr_willis: if he is copying /home/user/ then it should copy hidden files :| ? | 01:20 |
Sushi|Laptop | Okay, so /boot just got filled up again and made another kernel update fail. This is obviously a bug, it should not be keeping so many old kernels. Where should I report this bug to? | 01:20 |
Vivekananda | dr_willis: I looked at the cp --help and it does not give me anything specific for "hidden files" | 01:21 |
ment0s_ | hidden files looks like this .file .folder | 01:21 |
ment0s_ | if you will copy parent folder then it will copy everyting including hidden files | 01:21 |
dr_willis | http://superuser.com/questions/26586/copy-directory-contents-using-cp-command | 01:22 |
ment0s_ | if you want to copy only hidden files then you run cp /folder/.* | 01:22 |
Vivekananda | I want to copy all to all then repartition and get back my home as it was | 01:23 |
Vivekananda | this is my intention :) | 01:23 |

dr_willis | Vivekananda: check that url - Ibelive (i just skimmed it) it suggestgs using cp -a .* /path/of/backup to cp the hidden dirs.. then a cp * to get the normal files | 01:24 |
dr_willis | and the -a option aparently is for archive/keep all permissions/ownership | 01:25 |
dr_willis | Id just cheat and use 'mc' to do the copy.. but im lazy | 01:25 |
dr_willis | if i was smarter id learn to use rsync ;) | 01:25 |
Vivekananda | dr_willis: I can use grsync/rsync but I want to know that if I use is will the hiddens get copied ? | 01:26 |
Vivekananda | if they would then I am by all means going to use it | 01:26 |
dr_willis | if you tell it to it should. | 01:26 |
dr_willis | cp caan copy the hidden files IF YOU TELL IT TO | 01:27 |
dr_willis | cp .* foo i belive.. | 01:27 |
Vivekananda | ok let me try twice cp way first | 01:27 |
dr_willis | if you were using rsync it would scan and only copy the changed files. :0 | 01:27 |

bud | greetings again - can I check the md5 of a file with livecd and no internet connection? (e.g., is md5 checker built in?) and how do i run it for a file in my 'downloads' folder? thanks! | 03:17 |
dr_willis | md5sum path/to//file | 03:17 |
dr_willis | you still need the actual sum from the download site to check against | 03:18 |
dr_willis | or to at leasst look at. to compare. ;) | 03:18 |

Rezzafez | Hello, I need some support with my new ubuntu installation on an Asus A54H - The FN keys refuse to work despite Ubuntu obviously recognizing them (it comes up with a circle with a cross through it when I try to use the FN keys to adjust brightness and contrast) | 03:23 |

lime_ | Is there any way to force all of ubuntu to display in black and white? I have a disability that makes it difficult to see to many contrasting colors. | 03:24 |
raj | but how can I open the file on the remote machine | 03:24 |
=== egalitrarianusa is now known as FreakingTea | ||
dr_willis | raj: mount the remote with sshfs | 03:25 |
raj | i'm looking at the file using screen | 03:25 |
raj | I did | 03:25 |
raj | but it makes me use my local username | 03:25 |
raj | I want to actually login using the remote user's username | 03:25 |
raj | so I can edit his files | 03:25 |
dr_willis | ssjfs can use other usernames | 03:25 |
raj | for example, I can't edit files within ~/.irssi | 03:25 |
marenostrum | There's a new set of Ubuntu updates for 12.04. A couple of them are kernel packages. Synaptic says that, linux-generic-pae will be updated from 3.2.0.38.60 to 3.2.0.38.61, in short from xxx60 to xxx61. On the other hand, both from Synaptic and dpkg, what I have currently installed seems to be xxx48 (that's to say 3.2.0.38.48) not xxx60. Is there a contradiction, something unexpected? Is it a sign of an issue or is it fine at all? | 03:25 |
dr_willis | check the sshfs docs for the options | 03:26 |
raj | so do I just need my local username to match up with the remote machine's username? | 03:26 |

Vivekananda | That is why I dislike upgrading. I go from lts to lts coz that is unavoidable | 03:39 |
dr_willis | I always clean install | 03:40 |
dr_willis | takes less time | 03:40 |
Vivekananda | dr_willis: should I download lubuntu ? it is not an lts and I did not want to upgrade to it | 03:40 |
Vivekananda | dr_willis: If you can suggest a way that I can get my old settings + programs back then I would do the same :) | 03:40 |
dr_willis | I think yiu are worrying too much about lts | 03:41 |
dr_willis | and you can just install the lubuntu-desktop package | 03:41 |
dr_willis | ! clone | 03:41 |
ubottu | 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 | 03:41 |

Vivekananda | also support for lucid is gone so I figured I might jump onto the next lts for the next 5 yrs :) | 03:50 |

dr_willis | but im a home user. ;) | 03:50 |

veoozo | Well, I have installed Ubuntu (and Mint) on my Lenovo Ideapad Yoga 13. I cannot get the wifi to work! No matter what I do, it won't work. There is a thread going about this, but nobody's posted in 4 hours. Woukld you like a link? | 03:51 |
shade34321 | when using dd from an internal drive to an external drive does the external drive need to be mounted? | 03:51 |
yigal | veoozo: sure | 03:51 |
dr_willis | Vivekananda: then you start having to get used to using old versions of apps... | 03:51 |
veoozo | Okay, hold on. | 03:51 |
yigal | shade34321: no | 03:52 |
yigal | shade34321: well wait | 03:52 |
yigal | shade34321: what are you doing with dd? | 03:52 |
Vivekananda | dr_willis: I am fine with using oldies for now. Hell pdftk was working fine until it suddenly collapsed god knows why | 03:52 |
shade34321 | yigal: so if /dev/sda is the drive I want to copy and I'm copying it to the external /dev/sdi, dd if=/dev/sda of=/dev/sdi | 03:52 |
shade34321 | and sdi is not mounted but is listed in fdisk | 03:53 |
Vivekananda | but I will try lubuntu once now | 03:53 |
dr_willis | shade34321: imageing to a DEVICE- you dont mount.. Imageing to a FILEit has to be on a mounted Filesystem of course | 03:53 |
veoozo | http://ubuntuforums.org/showthread.php?t=1911972 That's the link to the thread. | 03:53 |
shade34321 | dr_willis: so what I did is correct then | 03:53 |
shade34321 | should it take 3 hrs+ to copy over a 75GB hard drive? | 03:53 |
dr_willis | if you want to clone sda to sdb you DONTmount sdb.. In fact you should use a live cd. and not have sda mounted either | 03:53 |
yigal | shade34321: depends on how the drives are connected | 03:54 |
dr_willis | shade34321: you DIDuse a bs=4M option to dd? | 03:54 |
shade34321 | dr_willis: it's a production system we're cloning and we can't take it down:/ | 03:54 |
shade34321 | dr_willis: internal is SAS 15K if I remember correctly and external is mounted via USB 2.0 | 03:54 |
dr_willis | shade34321: theres NOguarentees that clone will be correct | 03:54 |
veoozo | Hello? | 03:54 |

veoozo | Whtever. | 03:55 |
dr_willis | shade34321: theres better ways to backup an IN use filesystem | 03:55 |
shade34321 | personally I'm to scared to try this on a production server | 03:55 |
dr_willis | veoozo: did you ask a support question? | 03:55 |
shade34321 | dr_willis: well I have to have the disk be bootable so we can put it on another system | 03:56 |
shade34321 | personally I would of used clonezilla but I can't take it down to use it | 03:56 |
tgm4883 | dr_willis, he did, he's just being impatient | 03:56 |
dr_willis | shade34321: it should be bootable.. but the users data files.. are not guarrentied to be correct.. | 03:56 |
dr_willis | shade34321: if someone deleted files in mid -dd... well.. who knows what they will be like on the final image | 03:56 |
shade34321 | dr_willis: not copying those, /home /storage and /scratch are all not be copied over | 03:56 |
shade34321 | so it's just system files in /dev/sda which shouldn't be touched during the entire process | 03:57 |
dr_willis | shade34321: there are ways to remount / read only for a short time to make the DD | 03:57 |
shade34321 | dr_willis: How's that? | 03:57 |
dr_willis | mount -o remount | 03:57 |
dr_willis | but if its taking 4+hrs to image.... Id suggest getting some USB3 drives. | 03:57 |
shade34321 | that won't cause any problems with log files? | 03:57 |
shade34321 | dr_willis: no USB 3 ports on it because the drive is USB 3:/ | 03:58 |

shade34321 | dr_willis: they are being used with fiber connections to external raids | 03:58 |
shade34321 | dr_willis: the other option was take another hard drive and put it in but I couldn't find out if the server had hot swappable drives or not so rather than risking it going down in a ball of flames I went the external route | 03:59 |

dr_willis | fiber connections to raids.. and you are backing up the system over usb2 ? does that seem... weird to anyone else? | 04:01 |
shade34321 | dr_willis: it's not for a backup...need to make a clone to put it on another system, the other system was an experimental cluster but now it's needs to be used and nobody here was aroudn when either was put together | 04:02 |
dr_willis | i backed up a 3TB usb2 to another usb2 the other day... took.. err.. days | 04:02 |

shade34321 | dr_willis: but I understand what you're saying, they're should be a better way | 04:02 |

BHXSpecter | dear god, a 3TB backup? not sure I love my data THAT much | 04:02 |
shade34321 | dr_willis: that was my original plan but I can't take down the first server | 04:03 |

shade34321 | dr_willis: I'm not aware of any but I'll look it up. | 04:04 |
BHXSpecter | yeah a mad wife isn't something I like to deal with so I'd back up 3 TB too at that rate :) | 04:04 |
dr_willis | i tend to just backup data.. not the whole OS | 04:04 |
Wolfgang__ | can some one help me with this? | 04:05 |
shade34321 | dr_willis: apparently you can set up a clonezilla server to back up over the network...guess we could of gone that route if there was an extra comptuer laying around | 04:06 |
dr_willis | shade34321: hmm so the pc being cloned cant be its own server? | 04:06 |
shade34321 | dr_willis: no, or rather it can but has to have the clonezilla stuff booted, ie live CD or installed | 04:07 |
boom0917 | wolfgang http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Wubi_%28Ubuntu_installer%29 | 04:07 |

dr_willis | i use it there all the time.. | 04:17 |
kmentat | Hi all. I'm having trouble getting my BCM4401 NIC to work, and I think it's because ssb is getting in the way, but I can't do anything to unload it. | 04:19 |
kmentat | Whenever I try and rmmod or modprobe -rv ssb the terminal soft-hangs (I can ctrl+c out of it). | 04:19 |
kmentat | I'm running 12.04 from the Mythbuntu 64-bit distro. | 04:19 |
Wolfgang__ | My computer is warning me that it might be dangerous | 04:20 |
dr_willis | you could black the ssb module so it never loads perhaps. | 04:20 |
dr_willis | blacklist | 04:20 |
Wolfgang__ | Im fine right? | 04:20 |
dr_willis | !blacklist | 04:20 |
ubottu | To blacklist a module, edit /etc/modprobe.d/my_blacklist.conf and add « blacklist <modulename> » to the end of that list - To explicitly load modules in a specific order, list them in /etc/initramfs-tools/modules and type « sudo update-initramfs -u » | 04:20 |
dr_willis | Wolfgang__: we dont know what you are doing exactly.. and Windows has all sorts of idiotic warnings.. then does dangerous/damageing things without asking.... | 04:20 |
DarthEaron | what is modprobe exactly? | 04:21 |
dr_willis | modprobe loads a 'module' into the kernel.. which are normally 'driver files' | 04:21 |
Wolfgang__ | Ok | 04:21 |
DarthEaron | okay what about dmesg | 04:21 |
kmentat | dr_willis, oh hell. I blacklisted it, but I forgot about update-initramfs. It's been a while since I've monkied with Ubuntu and I've been playing with FreeBSD all week, so I'm a bit turned around. | 04:21 |
dr_willis | whatever.ko is normally a module file | 04:21 |
IveBeenBit | is there a chuser type command that will let me temporarily operate as a different user? And if so, how do I do it and change back to my regular user once I'm done? | 04:21 |
dr_willis | kmentat: ;) i rarely ahve to mess with the kernels. | 04:21 |
DarthEaron | oh my the way im stuck in windows for the time being, i have no computer at the moment | 04:21 |
mhaz | anyone know why there were two kernel updates this week? | 04:22 |
DarthEaron | su - %usernamehere% | 04:22 |
dr_willis | IveBeenBit: you can use su to run a command as a differnt user. if thats what youneed | 04:22 |
DarthEaron | su - %usernamehere% | 04:22 |
tds5016 | hey. I'm having trouble installing libtinyxml. can someone help? http://pastebin.com/cAespAWZ | 04:22 |
kmentat | dr_willis, How long should a new initramfs take to generate on an old Core2Duo? I don't imagine it should take nearly this long. | 04:22 |
tds5016 | this is stupidly frustrating. haha. | 04:23 |
dr_willis | kmentat: no idea. I rarely ever pay attention to such things.. i wouldent think more then a mion or 2 | 04:23 |
IveBeenBit | dr_willis, Yes, I just thought of that - as in "sudo" but I am not after root access. I'm reading the su man page now and will report back if I need more info. Thanks. | 04:23 |
karpuragauram | Btw Dr_Willis. Thanks for being so patient and being online for so long helping everyone. | 04:23 |
dr_willis | main use of su in ubuntu is to switch to a NON root user. ;) | 04:23 |
kmentat | dr_willis, oop, nevermind, now I'm getting some console output from it. Guess it really *is* taking its sweet time. | 04:24 |
dr_willis | su billgates -c moneymaker.sh | 04:24 |
dr_willis | ;) | 04:24 |
DarthEaron | if i wanted to log in as zp from a terminal running with superman logged in i would run superman$ su - zp | 04:24 |
hermes123 | I'm trying to set up a virtual "range" for students to use to practice web administration. One of the computers is a ubuntu box that needs to host a forum. Trick is, the VM isn't allowed to connect to the live internet to download any packages to host. Is there a native forum that I can host on an out of the box ubuntu distro? | 04:24 |
dr_willis | DarthEaron: id check man su to verify its syntax | 04:24 |
kmentat | dr_willis, come on. That joke is so old… it's su steveballmer -c loselotsofmoney.sh now | 04:25 |
dr_willis | kmentat: whos that? | 04:25 |
dr_willis | ;P | 04:25 |
DarthEaron | dr_willis: i used this a couple days ago on slackware... it should be the same | 04:25 |
tds5016 | I'm not sure how I can get those dependencies | 04:25 |
kmentat | Ballmer's the guy who's running Microsoft these days, since Gates stepped aside a couple years ago. | 04:25 |
mhaz | su is root user | 04:25 |
IveBeenBit | thanks dr_willis you cleared up some questions I had even after reading the su man page | 04:25 |
dr_willis | mhaz: su switches user.. it Can switch to root... | 04:25 |
dr_willis | mhaz but not on a default ubuntu setup | 04:26 |
mhaz | true dat... | 04:26 |
kmentat | dr_willis, Steve Ballmer is the guy running Microsoft now, since Bill Gates stepped aside a few years ago. Remember "Developers, developers, developers, developers, developers, developers, developers, developers, developers, developers, developers, developers, developers"? | 04:26 |
DarthEaron | everytime i was in root and wanted to use irssi i would run "su - zp" my terminal would then be a non root user and i would run irssi from threr | 04:26 |
dr_willis | kmentat: not really. I dont pay much attention to pc news lately.. got sick of hearing whos sueing who every day | 04:26 |
dr_willis | DarthEaron: you could jsut run 'login' for a similer effect i belive | 04:27 |
dr_willis | being root and switching to a user.. is sort of backwards to the ubuntu mindset/setups | 04:27 |
phoenixsampras | W: Failed to fetch http://ppa.launchpad.net/user/ppa-name/ubuntu/dists/lucid/main/binary-amd64/Packages.gz 404 Not Found | 04:28 |
IveBeenBit | Why did this not work after I entered the password? I got a "missing operand" error: su billgates -c mkdir ./test | 04:28 |
phoenixsampras | y get this error when i do apt-get update | 04:28 |
tgm4883 | phoenixsampras, that isn't a valid PPA | 04:28 |
DarthEaron | dr_willis: never tried to use login command before... hmmm ill keep that in mind for when i get back | 04:28 |
dr_willis | phoenixsampras: that looks like a totally wrong ppa.. looks like a geenric example ppa name | 04:28 |
chamunks | Is there any sandboxing software like www.sandboxie.com for ubuntu? I know about Chrooting and Virtual Machines but im thinking more specifically like sandboxie. | 04:28 |
tgm4883 | phoenixsampras, I'd bet money you copied and pasted and example as an actual command | 04:29 |
dr_willis | like from the ppa help popup baloon. ;) | 04:29 |
phoenixsampras | dr_willis: should i remove it? | 04:29 |
DarthEaron | tgm4883: i agree | 04:29 |
dr_willis | phoenixsampras: its useless... so why wouldent you want to remove it? | 04:29 |
phoenixsampras | dr_willis: so after this error is safe to do apt-get upgrade ? | 04:30 |
dr_willis | it shouldent be breaking a apt-get update/upgrade in any case | 04:30 |
dr_willis | its just a warning | 04:30 |
mhaz | dr_willis: do you know why there were two kernel updates this week? | 04:30 |
dr_willis | W: Failed <--------- W = warning | 04:30 |
Wolfgang__ | I have vm how do i get a linux installer for it? | 04:30 |
dr_willis | mhaz i never noticed. | 04:30 |
tds5016 | anyone able to help me with the libtinyxml headers issue? | 04:31 |
dr_willis | Wolfgang__: clarify what you mean.. we dont have ESP. | 04:31 |
mhaz | ok. must not be an issue. | 04:31 |
dano | any mmorpgs for ubuntu | 04:31 |
Wolfgang__ | I installed virtual box how do i get an installer for linux? | 04:32 |
phoenixsampras | dr_willis: thanks!! | 04:32 |
kmentat | dr_willis, This was back in like 2000. He started with this: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=wvsboPUjrGc and this was his encore at another event: http://youtu.be/8To-6VIJZRE | 04:32 |
dr_willis | Wolfgang__: when using virtualbox. you really want to read its manual .. start downloading the lubuntu 12.10 iso file.. and read the vbox docs as it downloads | 04:32 |
tgm4883 | Wolfgang__, you stick the virtual CD (ISO) into the virtual cd drive on the virtual machine | 04:32 |
Wolfgang__ | ok | 04:32 |
Wolfgang__ | can you give me a link to the iso? | 04:32 |
dr_willis | vbox hass some of the best manual/docs ive seen.. and no one ever reads it. ;) | 04:32 |
dr_willis | !download | 04:32 |
ubottu | Ubuntu installation CDs can be downloaded from http://releases.ubuntu.com - Mirrors can be found at http://wiki.ubuntu.com/Mirrors - PLEASE use the !torrents to download !Quantal, and help keeping the servers' load low! | 04:32 |
tgm4883 | seriously | 04:32 |
dr_willis | !lubuntu | 04:32 |
ubottu | lubuntu is Ubuntu with LXDE instead of !GNOME as desktop environment, which makes it extremely lightweight. See https://wiki.ubuntu.com/Lubuntu - /join #lubuntu for lubuntu support. | 04:32 |
DarthEaron | wow man, you could have definatly googled that one | 04:33 |
tds5016 | http://pastebin.com/cAespAWZ | 04:33 |
kmentat | !lmgtfy | 04:33 |
ubottu | 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. | 04:33 |
lb27 | 04:33 | |
tds5016 | can someoneplease help me with this? | 04:33 |
tgm4883 | kmentat, I don't think "ubuntu download" would be considered google-fu | 04:33 |
DarthEaron | tds5016: whats your problem? | 04:33 |
dr_willis | tds5016: its a good idea to give a summary of the problem. not just a paste.. (or did i miss the question) | 04:34 |
kmentat | tgm4883, prolly not. | 04:34 |
tds5016 | sorry. tinxml won't install. | 04:34 |
IveBeenBit | Why did this not work after I entered the password? I got a "missing operand" error: $ su billgates -c mkdir ./test | 04:34 |
tds5016 | neither the headers or the library | 04:34 |
Wolfgang__ | Um where do i get the iso? can you just give me a link to the right one? | 04:34 |
kmentat | The problem is pretty simple: tgm4883 is trapped in dependency hell. | 04:34 |
dr_willis | Wolfgang__: im on my phone.. so no.. the lubuntu homepage should have links | 04:35 |
Wolfgang__ | ok | 04:35 |
DarthEaron | tds5016: taking a look now | 04:35 |
tds5016 | definitely dep hell... can someone help me grab these deps? | 04:35 |
BHXSpecter | does this error mean the package is broke or my installation is? http://paste.ubuntu.com/1703872/ at first it was giving dependency errors but now it is just the one library | 04:35 |
kmentat | Wolfgang__, http://lubuntu.net/ — There's a big download link at the top. | 04:35 |
DarthEaron | tds5016: when is the last time you run sudo apt-get update? | 04:35 |
ethana3 | So, I installed Ubuntu Touch Preview on my Nexus 10 | 04:36 |
dr_willis | A Jolly Candy Like Download Button! but Will he press it? | 04:36 |
dr_willis | ;) | 04:36 |
tds5016 | seconds ago. that actually breaks too. haha. | 04:36 |
ethana3 | anybody have any idea how long I should wait for it to boot up? | 04:36 |
dr_willis | ethana3: checkin #ubuntu-tablet | 04:36 |
Oblivion1500 | hello, i am having trouble connecting to ssh via my public ip i have put my router in dmz and in my router put my server in dmz so i should be able to access all of its ports | 04:36 |
Oblivion1500 | http://imgur.com/W4kYm68 | 04:36 |
ethana3 | dr_willis: thanks, will do | 04:36 |
DarthEaron | tds5016: can you put the attempt into pastebin? | 04:36 |
dr_willis | Oblivion1500: router in the dmz? you got nested routers? | 04:36 |
histo | Oblivion1500: if router is in dmz then it will answer port. You still need to port forward since you ahve a router | 04:36 |
histo | double nat | 04:37 |
tds5016 | shttp://paste.ubuntu.com/1704058/ | 04:37 |
Oblivion1500 | really, well let me do that | 04:37 |
tds5016 | DarthEaron: ^ | 04:37 |
histo | dr_willis: Most likely dsl/cable model > router > pC | 04:37 |
tds5016 | sorry about that. | 04:37 |
tds5016 | http://paste.ubuntu.com/1704058/ | 04:37 |
DarthEaron | tds5016: also could you please put DarthEaron: in the begining of your messages, it makes things easier for me | 04:37 |
tgm4883 | shttp? is that like a more quiet version of http? | 04:37 |
dr_willis | i never noticed a dmz setting needed for the router. | 04:37 |
tds5016 | DarthEaron: http://paste.ubuntu.com/1704058/ | 04:37 |
tds5016 | ;-) | 04:38 |
tds5016 | tgm4883: or it's a really crappy version ;-) | 04:38 |
dr_willis | when using 2 routers. i put the 2nd one one in some sort of hub/switch mode.. i recall | 04:38 |
histo | dr_willis: I use it to avoid a double nat. At one location the DSL modem puts thte internal router in the DMZ then I can control port forwarding on the internal router instead oon the dsl modem. | 04:38 |
tgm4883 | dr_willis, maybe the first router is some crappy ISP provided one that has the built in modem | 04:38 |
dr_willis | ive never really used DSL/ADSL | 04:39 |
Wolfgang__ | Do i create a hard drive | 04:39 |
Wolfgang__ | ? | 04:39 |
histo | dr_willis: Same thing for cable modem. | 04:39 |
dr_willis | Wolfgang__: do you recall us mentionging how valueable reading the vbox manual is? | 04:39 |
Wolfgang__ | Yes but that requires brain power | 04:39 |
dr_willis | Wolfgang__: you want to install a virtual os into a virtual machine.. you need a virtual hd.. .... its not virtual rocket-surgery | 04:40 |
tgm4883 | lol | 04:40 |
Wolfgang__ | Thank you! | 04:40 |
DarthEaron | someone correct me if im wrong please because i lack confidence on this. but the errors your getting keep saying to use -tvv option so i think you should try sudo apt-get update -tvv | 04:40 |
dr_willis | howeger there is a real virtual box manual at their homepage. | 04:40 |
tds5016 | DarthEaron: I think the issue is with my firewall possibly. haha. | 04:40 |
Wolfgang__ | Do i want disk image or? | 04:40 |
tds5016 | what is tvv? | 04:41 |
DarthEaron | tds5016: how would that make a difference? | 04:41 |
dr_willis | when in doubt.. hit next... | 04:41 |
tds5016 | if it works, no. haha. but it would be nice to know what is broken :-) | 04:41 |
tgm4883 | Wolfgang__, https://www.virtualbox.org/manual/ch05.html | 04:41 |
dr_willis | there is a #virtualbox support channel i belive | 04:41 |
kmentat | Ok, so I think update-initramfs is hanging | 04:41 |
dr_willis | they will proberly say to read the manual also... | 04:41 |
Oblivion1500 | histo: so forwarded both the modem to the router and the router to the server on port 22 | 04:41 |
tds5016 | DarthEaron: still no love with -tvv | 04:42 |
dr_willis | because to be honest.. we dont have the vbox dialogs/wizard memorized... | 04:42 |
tds5016 | DarthEaron: http://paste.ubuntu.com/1704084/ | 04:42 |
dr_willis | they have a help button on them dont they? | 04:42 |
xadin | anyone here have one of the korean monitors? shimian, catleap, etc. And has it working with nvidia twinview ? | 04:43 |
=== fan is now known as Guest7464 | ||
xadin | I have been able to get the 2560x1440 shimian working fine but the 21" 1680x1050 monitor beside it will only run in 800x600, been messing with xorg.conf to no avail | 04:43 |
tds5016 | is there a way to ignore checksum? | 04:44 |
dr_willis | xadin: evenif you just plug it in by itself? | 04:44 |
tds5016 | with apt-get? | 04:44 |
histo | Oblivion1500: You have a doulbe nat situation. | 04:44 |
xadin | both work fine by themselves | 04:44 |
xadin | I want dual working | 04:44 |
dr_willis | xadin: as a test.. reduce the res on the other monitor.. see if you can then up the 2nd one.. | 04:44 |
Oblivion1500 | histo: do you want me to take off the dmz? | 04:45 |
dr_willis | xadin: ive seen some limited cards not able to handle Huge dual monitor setuos | 04:45 |
Oblivion1500 | or what do you mean? | 04:45 |
histo | Oblivion1500: What I usually do to fix it if you can't put your modem in bridged mode and allow your router to handle the ocnneciton you need to: On the modem put the router in the DMZ also, then on the router forward ports to your internal ip of server. | 04:45 |
xadin | it works in windows just fine | 04:45 |
xadin | you're saying reduce the 2560x1440 monitor? | 04:45 |
Guest7464 | Could any body do me a favour? | 04:45 |
dr_willis | xadin: and you are using thee windows drivers there also... which are not the same | 04:45 |
Guest7464 | My sd | 04:45 |
tds5016 | DarthEaron: any other ideas? | 04:45 |
kmentat | Guest7464, depends on the favor | 04:45 |
dr_willis | xadin: try differnt res;'s - i recall seeing this issue once a few months back. | 04:46 |
Guest7464 | my sd card cann't be recongnised | 04:46 |
Guest7464 | system is 12.04 lts | 04:46 |
xadin | I have been trying but no matter what rez I set the 21" to it defaults to 800x600 | 04:46 |
DarthEaron | tds5016: take a look at pastebin.com/8nk6cq8 | 04:46 |
DarthEaron | clear | 04:46 |
DarthEaron | tds5016: take a look at pastebin.com/8nk6cq8 | 04:46 |
dr_willis | xadin: what chipset? | 04:46 |
Guest7464 | hello | 04:46 |
xadin | I can only set the rez in the xorg.conf file, nvidia-settings won't let me choose a rez other than the 2560x1440 which is only for the 27" | 04:47 |
Guest7464 | kmentnt | 04:47 |
xadin | nvidia 560 | 04:47 |
DarthEaron | tds5016: see if that fits the issue your having | 04:47 |
Guest7464 | kmentat | 04:47 |
xadin | tried a few different monitors | 04:47 |
xadin | I mean, drivers | 04:47 |
xadin | nvidia, not nouveau | 04:47 |
tds5016 | unkown paste id | 04:47 |
xadin | works fine in nouveau but I need the performance. | 04:47 |
dr_willis | xadin: sounds likesome buggy drivers or other weirdness... | 04:47 |
Oblivion1500 | histo: on my modem my router is in dmz and forwarding port 22 to it, in my router my server is in dmz and having port 22 forwarded to it, what needs to be fixed with that? should i take my server out of dmz? | 04:47 |
dr_willis | i was playigmn Team Fortress 2 in Noveau i think .. ;) by mistake the other day | 04:48 |
tds5016 | DarthEaron: sorry ot rewrite, forgot to add your name... it's an unkown paste id ;-) | 04:48 |
Oblivion1500 | dmz was only temp untill i figured out the problem anyway | 04:48 |
kmentat | Where does grub keep its blacklist? | 04:48 |
xadin | can nvidia not do xinerama? does it require twinview? | 04:49 |
dr_willis | kmentat: a blacklist of what> | 04:49 |
BHXSpecter | dr_willis: you didn't have any issues with Steam and the error I have? It was installing steam that made me start getting the nouveau2 error | 04:49 |
dr_willis | Twinview is Xinerama-supercharged | 04:49 |
DarthEaron | tds5016: goto dragonforge.org click on the tab that says help this guy | 04:49 |
dr_willis | BHXSpecter: i had some other steam quirks.. but its working now | 04:49 |
kmentat | dr_willis, modules. My update-initramfs hs hanging after adding a certain firmware, and now I'm trying to follow this: http://ubuntuforums.org/showthread.php?t=2095631 | 04:49 |
histo | Oblivion1500: on your modem don't forward any ports just put router in DMZ. The on router just forward port 22 to server. That's it and take server out of dmz | 04:50 |
dr_willis | kmentat: i recall some kernel blacklist options but i dont recall the syntax.. it would be a setting on the kernel line i think in /etc/default/grub | 04:50 |
BHXSpecter | hmm....I had some issues, but it told me to add the x-swat/x-updates to the list and now anything I try to update/upgrade/install/remove gives me the libdrm-nouveau2 error so I thought I would ask | 04:51 |
DarthEaron | how do you make chages to your kernal | 04:51 |
kmentat | dr_willis, that's fine, I'm just trying to find incongruities between the modprobe blacklist and the grub blacklist. | 04:51 |
kmentat | Well, that was no-go. | 04:52 |
DarthEaron | tds5016: anything? | 04:52 |
xadin | I found someone with the same issue, same shimian 2560x1440, and same res for second monitor, he describes it here. https://bbs.archlinux.org/viewtopic.php?pid=1206170#p1206170 | 04:52 |
tds5016 | doesn't seem to have worked :-( | 04:52 |
DarthEaron | did it change the output of apt-get update at all? | 04:52 |
xadin | catleap and shimian are the same | 04:53 |
DarthEaron | 2wUGTYG>U:Y^9~%TKWEGWF=------------- | 04:54 |
xadin | dr_willis: ya he has exactly the same problem. | 04:54 |
DarthEaron | sorry guys that was the cat | 04:54 |
dr_willis | heh.. silly kitty. this isent reddit | 04:56 |
Bray90820 | It turns out the current charging bug has been fixed | 04:56 |
MrHacks | exit | 04:56 |
Oblivion1500_ | histo: i did that and im still getting a econnrefused error | 04:56 |
IveBeenBit | Why did this not work after I entered the password? I got a "mkdir: missing operand" error: $ su billgates -c mkdir ./test | 04:57 |
magn3ts | Anyone use GLC/Gamecaster? Is it really superior to using a "regular" X-level recording software? | 04:57 |
kmentat | Note to self: set up a fresh kernel to compile while I'm at work. This generic 3.5.whatever isn't thrilling me too much right now. | 04:57 |
DarthEaron | i use vlc to record my screen, its not too bad | 04:57 |
BHXSpecter | didn't know vlc could record the screen....I always used recordmydesktop, but can't install it on my laptop due to the library error I get ..though I do have vlc installed | 04:59 |
jpmh | how do I change the descriptions that grub shows for the partitions on boot? | 05:00 |
kmentat | OK, dr_willis, in answer to your question: yes, I blacklisted those modules, did an update-initramfs and I still can't use my network card. ssb is still loaded. | 05:00 |
AcidRain2012 | would it be safe to install directx in wine | 05:00 |
AcidRain2012 | ? | 05:00 |
kmentat | AcidRain2012, it's in a sort of sandbox, so I can't imagine why not. | 05:00 |
kmentat | I mean, it's not like DirectX will be running when wine isn't. | 05:00 |
BHXSpecter | depends on the DX version as I've got errors about OS not being supported | 05:01 |
dr_willis | it may be built into the kernel.. but that would be weird kmentat | 05:01 |
AcidRain2012 | kmentat, but my goal is to use directx to create a program that will poll ip addresses to get game data. so im kinda creating a program that needs to be ran 24/7 | 05:01 |
dr_willis | wine has its own directx | 05:01 |
kmentat | dr_willis, suddenly compiling a whole new kernel from source doesn't seem totally crazy. | 05:01 |

ubottu | The core of Ubuntu is the Linux kernel: see https://help.ubuntu.com/community/Kernel - You shouldn't have to compile your own, and if you need to troubleshoot issues, you can try a !Mainline kernel instead, but if you insist, see https://help.ubuntu.com/community/Kernel/Compile (see also !Stages) | 05:02 |

dr_willis | karpuragauram: check its uuid vs whats in fstab | 05:30 |
dr_willis | !uuid | 05:30 |
ubottu | To see a list of your devices/partitions and their corresponding UUID's, run this command in a !shell: « sudo blkid » (see https://wiki.ubuntu.com/LibAtaForAtaDisks for the rationale behind the transition to UUID) | 05:31 |

demkantor | dr_willis: yeah i think thats what up, i know windows is still on hard drive but i cant boot to it, ive tried everything the forums have to give to no avail | 05:34 |
dr_willis | you could rerun sudo update-grub if that fails.. add a custome entry in /etc/grub.d/40_custom | 05:34 |
surbs | Quantal Quetzal: would it be ok to delete .local/share/Trash/expunged ? it currently contains 8.1GB | 05:34 |

dr_willis | description says wep/wpa | 06:28 |
dr_willis | ;) | 06:28 |
tgunr | and yes, you can use backtrack in VM | 06:28 |
dr_willis | but can you use aircrqack in a vm | 06:28 |
Jeruvy | yep | 06:29 |
bean | tgunr, yeah, things i've ready, like that stack overflow ? seem to say its best to use hash tho | 06:29 |
tgunr | AKAIK no one has/can crack WPA yet except maybe NSA | 06:29 |
dr_willis | or would it be cracking your virtual netsork. ;) | 06:29 |
tgunr | ok, will use that for now, thanks bean | 06:29 |
xjdesx | deb http://ubuntu2.cica.es/ubuntu/ubuntu/pool/universe/a/aircrack-ng/ | 06:31 |
xjdesx | how come i cant add that as a source? | 06:32 |
xjdesx | i can't add a repo | 06:32 |
dr_willis | the universe repo is one of the default repos.. you just enable it in the software-sources tool | 06:32 |
Jeruvy | how are you doing it? | 06:32 |
dr_willis | !universe | 06:32 |
ubottu | The packages in Ubuntu are divided into several sections. More information at https://help.ubuntu.com/community/Repositories and http://www.ubuntu.com/project/about-ubuntu/components - See https://wiki.ubuntu.com/RecommendedSources for the recommended way to set up your repositories | 06:32 |
xjdesx | what?? | 06:33 |
xjdesx | can someone PM me please | 06:33 |
xjdesx | i really will pay $10 for a tutorial | 06:33 |
dr_willis | software-sources.. click to enable universe | 06:33 |
xjdesx | but your undivided attention | 06:33 |
Jeruvy | xjdesx you need to make more sense | 06:33 |
tgunr | bean: ok hash is correct as a builtin as I need to chect the exit staus | 06:33 |
wiggmpk | tgunr: do you have any source to that claim? I thought WPA and WPA2 were both crackable for along time now | 06:33 |
dr_willis | xjdesx: you tried a simple 'sudo apt-get install aircrack-ng' yet? | 06:33 |
tgunr | $100 might generate some interest | 06:33 |
andrew | hi | 06:34 |
=== andrew is now known as Guest51688 | ||
Jeruvy | xjdesx you could consider listening and following some of the good advice you've been given for free :) | 06:34 |
dr_willis | actually a 'sudo apt-get update; sudo apt-get install aircrack-ng' would be better | 06:35 |
xjdesx | i have tried EVERY tutorial | 06:35 |
xjdesx | I've been working on this for a few days | 06:35 |
dr_willis | xjdesx: i dont know whatg sort of tutoriual you need.. you just install it same as you would any other packabge | 06:35 |
xjdesx | i even tried editing the common.stk | 06:35 |
dr_willis | its in the default repositories | 06:35 |
Jeruvy | xjdesx but you haven't told us what your problem is' | 06:35 |
xjdesx | it doesn't work | 06:35 |
dr_willis | so we have no idea what you have been doing for 2 days | 06:35 |
xjdesx | i get so many errors | 06:35 |
tgunr | wiggmpk: negative, big difference on how the two work, WEP can be cracked easily notso WPA, unless things have changed in the past few month, I was looking at it last fall for a client | 06:35 |
xjdesx | hold on..how do I enable repos? | 06:35 |
xjdesx | in terminal | 06:36 |
xjdesx | how do i install what i need for adding repos | 06:36 |
xjdesx | cus in Ubuntu software mananger it does not work! | 06:36 |
dr_willis | xjdesx: edit the /etc/apt/sources.list file and uncomment the ones you need | 06:36 |
wiggmpk | tgunr: I would agree with you if it was WPA-Enterprise, but PSK encryption doesnt take much.. just time | 06:36 |
dr_willis | xjdesx: if your software manager is not working.. then you got deeper issues.. | 06:36 |
dr_willis | xjdesx: and we gave you the exact commands for the terminal to install the package | 06:37 |
xjdesx | i've done all those cmds | 06:37 |
xjdesx | im sorry for bugging you guys i know it's annoying being on the receiving end | 06:37 |
xjdesx | i've done sudo apt-get install .. | 06:37 |
dr_willis | xjdesx: tried --> 'sudo apt-get update; sudo apt-get install aircrack-ng' and tell us error messages would be a good starting point | 06:37 |
xjdesx | wget http://www... | 06:37 |
Jeruvy | xjdesx if they didn't work pastebin the errors so we can help | 06:37 |
xjdesx | ok | 06:37 |
dr_willis | wget? what wget? | 06:38 |
xjdesx | should I be root? | 06:38 |
xjdesx | or my own user | 06:38 |
dr_willis | note the use of SUDO.... | 06:38 |
tgunr | geez | 06:38 |
dr_willis | you use sudo to gain root rights as needed | 06:38 |
xjdesx | dr_willis, i'm new to linux | 06:38 |
xjdesx | total noob | 06:38 |
xjdesx | ease up | 06:38 |
dr_willis | xjdesx: so we have to wonder why you are wanting aircrack then... | 06:38 |
tgunr | yep | 06:39 |
dr_willis | isent the universe repo enabled by default on 12.04+ ? | 06:39 |
xjdesx | B/c I just moved into a new apartment and i can't get into the router to open ports formy xbox and amillion other devices | 06:39 |
tozen | xjdesx: if u r noob so what 4 you trying to crack wifi? | 06:39 |
xjdesx | i have no access to router | 06:39 |
wiggmpk | dr_willis: it was for me | 06:39 |
xjdesx | they wont give me password, and believe me i'm really good w/ comps w windows | 06:39 |
dr_willis | so on a clean new instgall.. the 'sudo apt-get install aircrack-ng' should just work | 06:39 |
xjdesx | i know how to bypass stuff, get login info, etc | 06:40 |
=== ident is now known as Guest1060 | ||
tgunr | xjdesx: go get a bottle of wine, settle down and study the subject | 06:40 |
xjdesx | how do i do a clean install? how do i remove everything related to aircrack | 06:40 |
xjdesx | tgunr, I'm going to. The problem is, I think my linux is messed up. It's not on a disc, i'm using VMware and i just feel like it wasnt properly installed | 06:41 |
dr_willis | xjdesx: when you first install - the universe repo should be enabled and those commands should just work.. whatever tutorials you have followed may havce broken things.. we dont kno w what they did | 06:41 |
tgunr | xjdesx: askubuntu.com, google, stackoverflow all are at your siposal | 06:41 |
xjdesx | i have repos installed | 06:41 |
dr_willis | xjdesx: perhaps a clean install to a new vmware session would be the best place to start | 06:41 |
wiggmpk | xjdesx: and you realize what your doing is most probably illegal right? | 06:41 |
xjdesx | it just all of a sudden wont let me add new ones | 06:41 |
* tgunr is no longer interested | 06:41 | |
xjdesx | i'm not doing it to "hack" im doing it just to have access to my router that I pay for monthly | 06:42 |
dr_willis | i suggest a cleannew install in a new vm session, then try the commands gaven. | 06:42 |
xjdesx | k | 06:42 |
dr_willis | then come back with any error messages | 06:42 |
xjdesx | im gonna re-install | 06:42 |
xjdesx | ok | 06:42 |
xjdesx | thank u | 06:42 |

tgunr | eighth day wonder if you ask me dr | 06:43 |
wiggmpk | I don't get how cracking a wifi password would give him access to forward ports | 06:43 |
dr_willis | wiggmpk: me either. ;) | 06:43 |
dr_willis | of course.. aircrack has been ported to other os's i imagine also.. | 06:43 |
dr_willis | im still not sure how aircrack in a vm gets info from the wireless network.. | 06:44 |
Ademan | I'm trying to get a USB wifi adapter working because my internal is dead... I have the hardware switch OFF, because having it on causes some sort of short and my laptop hard powers off... However because of that network manager thinks that the USB wifi dongle should be disabled as well! How do I beat that thing into line? | 06:44 |
tozen | dr_willis: what i know isairkack-ng doesnt works properly under win os | 06:44 |
tgunr | wiggmpk: i don't have my notes on the subject but if WPA/WPA2 can be cracked I'm sure the gates of hell would be opened | 06:44 |
wiggmpk | tozen: probably because Windows drivers wont support packet injection | 06:45 |
wiggmpk | tgunr: quick google search can give you more than a few links on the subject | 06:45 |
wiggmpk | tgunr: I've never personally accomplished it.. only exploiting WPS bugs | 06:45 |
Vivekananda | Hey everyone. Just starting the net upgrade to lucid. It is telling me that it can take a couple of hours!! Also can I choose to install lubntu right now rather than unity for 12.04 | 06:47 |

I searched it on internet and foud ":set scrollbind and :set noscrollbind" to enable and disable it. But this doesn't work. Why? please help. | 06:48 |
Vivekananda | dr_willis: I got back on and things are working ok after the shrink. NOw trying the upgrade | 06:48 |
Ademan | the_dark_knight: you'll have way better luck in #vim | 06:48 |
=== grep is now known as Guest99264 | ||
Ademan | the_dark_knight: I think that's specific enough of a question there's little hope of getting help here | 06:49 |
Ademan | why do you want to scroll them simultaneously though? are you comparing them? | 06:49 |
Ademan | cause there's :diffthis if you are | 06:49 |
Vivekananda | Should I start the upgrade ?? I am waiting for someone to comment before I do | 06:49 |
Vivekananda | Ademan: any comments ?? dr_willis still around ?? | 06:50 |
rtp4 | i have problem with connecting to a web service (soap) on the network from ubuntu, its working on a windows os | 06:50 |
rtp4 | any idea why is that happening ? | 06:51 |
Ademan | Vivekananda: the only way I can think of is to remove ubuntu-desktop meta-package and install in its place lubuntu-desktop, then do the upgrade. But I would recommend keeping a fairly "standard" software loadout for upgrades... | 06:51 |
Ademan | rtp4: if networking is working, there's no reason why a soap request would be different, what's the service? | 06:52 |
the_dark_knight | Ademan: How do I undo :diffthis | 06:52 |
Ademan | rtp4: and what error are you getting, how are you accessing the service? etc etc | 06:53 |
Vivekananda | Ademan: Then I proceed with it and later change things. :) I also want to clean up the system as it is taking 10 gigs now whearas it started with 4 ~5. Any ways to accomplish that?? Also I would like to try libreoffice. will that automatically replace oo that I have here ? | 06:53 |
rtp4 | am able to reach the host from my browser and the soap request is working when i try from soapui | 06:53 |
rtp4 | am getting timeout | 06:53 |
rtp4 | i think | 06:53 |
rtp4 | since its taking long and then giving me an error | 06:53 |
rtp4 | the problem is with php soap call | 06:53 |
rtp4 | but am sure the php is correct because its working on my co-worker | 06:54 |
rtp4 | which uses windows os | 06:54 |
Ademan | Vivekananda: I believe that ubuntu-desktop in precise should include libreoffice so it should be installed | 06:54 |

the_dark_knight | Ademan: How do I undo :diffthis ? | 06:55 |
Ademan | son_: I don't believe so but you need an MX record somewhere | 06:55 |
son_ | I already have a MX record | 06:55 |
Vivekananda | Ademan: already tried and not much help :(. But is okay. Am upgrading now | 06:56 |
dr_willis | Vivekananda: im not even sure what you are doing. ;) | 06:56 |
son_ | but I always get an error saying status=bounced | 06:56 |
rtp4 | so dominic any idea why is this happenening ? | 06:56 |
Ademan | the_dark_knight: :diffoff | 06:56 |
Ademan | the_dark_knight: I didn't remember, I just went to :h diffthis and it was below | 06:56 |
Vivekananda | dr_willis : lol ok . I had less space on my root partition so I created more by shrinking the one right next to it which was the / home. Now with enough space on root I am starting the upgrade to precise | 06:57 |
dominic_ | hmm seems like this is not a networking issue rtp4..your calling it from php right? hmm can you please somehow tell us what is the error message? | 06:57 |
Ademan | rtp4: are the computers on the same network? You'll need the exact error to correctly diagnose this | 06:57 |
son_ | Ademan will you help me? | 06:57 |
Ademan | son_: sorry, I don't have an answer | 06:58 |
rtp4 | yes they are on the same network | 06:58 |
Ademan | son_: what's the body of the rejection email? | 06:58 |
Ademan | son_: paste it at pastebin.ca or something | 06:58 |

cfhowlett | stuck_, on the theory that xchat was blocked as an app or that xchats defaults ports were blocked, i suggested chatzilla to see if a non-web based irc client could connect ... if so, you've got a setting somewhere in your system blocking access. Ports? I don't know. | 07:38 |

linda666 | hi... im having problems with my laptop's network driver. my laptop is lenovo G480. im using ubuntu 12.04. i have already followed this: http://pastebin.com/L8QhmJRn but still im facing problems, and i cant connect using cable. and sometimes my laptop hangs which based on logs i guess is caused by netwwork. | 07:42 |
stuck_ | When I restart my PC, all my current tabs autoreload when I start FF, is there a way to get that without reloading my PC? | 07:43 |

dr_willis | cristian_c: using the vaious wifi stuff on android would be much faster then bluetooth | 07:44 |

cfhowlett | stuck_, so you want certain tabs to pop-up in FF ... it's in FF settings | 07:46 |
stuck_ | cfhowlett: BTW, when it cycles to next server to try its the IP that changes, not the port | 07:47 |
stuck_ | cfhowlett: No, I want my current tabs to pop up | 07:47 |

cfhowlett | makara, probably. Check LO settings & preferences | 07:50 |
makara | cfhowlett, done. Nothing to report. | 07:51 |
stuck_ | cfhowlett: Already set to that, but how can I restart FF without clicking the little x in the corner? | 07:52 |

iter | you can kill the process and then relaunch stuck | 07:54 |
iter | ff should restore your tabs/windows | 07:54 |
cfhowlett | stuck_, you 've got multiple instances of FF running. quick kill is to run a terminal: killall firefox | 07:54 |
dr_willis | is each window an instance? ive never noticed | 07:55 |
iter | I think not acutally | 07:55 |
iter | I seem to only have one firefox process on the work pc | 07:56 |

cfhowlett | I ran another FF and now have 2 processes | 07:56 |
stuck_ | cfhowlett: BTW, chatzilla finally switched to saying "error downloading" do you still want me to restart FF to try to install it? | 07:57 |
cfhowlett | stuck_, I'm inclined to say that so long as you have IRC, even if web based, smile and move on ... | 07:57 |
dr_willis | and get a better irc client... ;-) | 07:58 |
iter | yep time to upgrade to irssi | 07:58 |
stuck_ | cfhowlett: Seems a second try installing chatzilla worked, no restart necessary, I want to use my installed clients anyway, so if you would please help me figure out what is going on here | 07:58 |
cfhowlett | dr_willis, weird error. Xchat wouldn't connect but web-based IRC would ... | 07:58 |
dr_willis | bbl | 07:58 |
stuck_ | cfhowlett: restarting FF to finalize chatzilla instal | 07:59 |
dr_willis | hmm odd. | 07:59 |
cfhowlett | stuck_, ok | 07:59 |
torkildr_ | thiago: Sharing the git index between OS's is asking for trouble. | 08:00 |
stuck_ | I missed the last thing you said | 08:01 |
stuck_ | I have chatzilla installed, now how do I use it? | 08:02 |
cfhowlett | stuck_, join freenode network then join #ubuntu | 08:02 |
stuck_ | I meant how, but I figured it out | 08:04 |

stuck2 | cfhowlett: Ok, chatzilla works Got any better idea about why the regular installed clients aren't working? | 08:08 |
cfhowlett | stuck2, gotta be a setting issue is my theory. Others have suggested you use a different IRC client. Look in software center and see if you find one you like. If same error/behavior comes up, it's either YOUR settings or a connection setting/block/error with your router I would guess | 08:08 |
stuck2 | cfhowlett: I am having trouble with two different IRC clients, xchat, and smuxi, I did mention this before | 08:09 |
stuck2 | cfhowlett: should I install a third? If so what? | 08:09 |
iter | try this first stuck2 | 08:10 |

rkid | my 10,1 macbook does not work with the logitech unify thing. I have to unplug it and plug it back in. I read about the logitech bug, when I write modprobe -r hid_logitech_dj modprobe hid_logitech_dj it does nothing and ontop of that is disables my trackpad... It is a long shot but anyone else know what I can do | 09:15 |
truepurple | TakeItEZ, Even if that works, isn't there a way to do it in gparted or other less complicated methods? | 09:15 |
TakeItEZ | truepurple: i don't know | 09:15 |
truepurple | replace user with my username? | 09:15 |

TakeItEZ | truepurple:what mountpoint, what directory? then: sudo chown -R $USER:$USER /ThatDirectory | 09:18 |
truepurple | the thing at the beginning in gparted? | 09:18 |
truepurple | dev/sda3? | 09:18 |

truepurple | So, can you help please? | 09:24 |
* jdesx Hey I just installed ubuntu 12.10 and everything finally works with it...what are some cool programs to download? | 09:24 | |
truepurple | TakeItEZ, ? | 09:26 |
truepurple | Can anyone help me with how to make a partition open to use from the start, or at least with a few easy measures, rather then needing complicated commands? | 09:29 |
dr_willis | truepurple: you add an entry if the fstab to mount it.. yiu mean? | 09:30 |
dr_willis | or yoy just want it open in rhe file manager? | 09:30 |
truepurple | dr_willis, I am not sure what you mean. But when I make a partition with gparted, format it and mount it, I can't put files in it, TakeItEZ gave me a set of long commands that allowed me to use it, but I am experimenting with partitions and need something simpler to make them accessible | 09:31 |
dr_willis | truepurple: what filestatem did you use? | 09:32 |
TakeItEZ | truepurple: it just one command you have to issue | 09:32 |
truepurple | dr_willis, I was told to type "mount|grep sda3" then "sudo chown -R $USER:$USER /media/32610eef-29fb-44ef-9078-c91a2e1d20dc" | 09:32 |
truepurple | dr_willis, that long string in the second command was from the results of the first | 09:33 |
TakeItEZ | truepurple: ask the gparted dev to integrate userhandling in their tool | 09:33 |
dr_willis | truepurple: you mount it somewhere. then chown it to be owned by your user | 09:33 |
dr_willis | truepurple: so is it mounted now? | 09:34 |
=== gvim is now known as Guest55479 | ||
truepurple | dr_willis, filestatem, you mean system? And yes, it is mounted | 09:34 |
dr_willis | mounted where | 09:34 |
truepurple | dr_willis, I do not know | 09:34 |
truepurple | main area I guess? | 09:34 |
dr_willis | use the mount command and look... | 09:34 |
TakeItEZ | truepurple:the actual mountpoint is /media/32610eef-29fb-44ef-9078-c91a2e1d20dc | 09:35 |
truepurple | there | 09:35 |
truepurple | that absurdly long string | 09:35 |
truepurple | I guess | 09:35 |
TakeItEZ | truepurple: next time give a label to the partition you create | 09:35 |
TakeItEZ | truepurple: without, it uses the UUID, hard to recall | 09:35 |
dr_willis | have gparted give it a label.. and it will use that for a name..... | 09:35 |
dr_willis | instead of the uuid# | 09:36 |
dr_willis | you chown the mountpoint to be owned by yur user.. what is your user name yu want to access it? | 09:37 |
truepurple | So I make, format, and mount the partition, then sudo chown -R $USER:$USER <label>? | 09:37 |

dr_willis | utf you have a bash directory in bin? thars weird | 09:38 |
truepurple | dr_willis, yes, but I am speaking of future partitions I will make too, which of course will be formated and mounted. What is your point? | 09:38 |
andyegan | hello and good morning to all. | 09:38 |

utf | and the bash directory for my hand-written scripts | 09:39 |
dr_willis | truepurple: chmod and chown after mounted.. cirrect | 09:39 |
truepurple | dr_willis, Is it possible to give a partition a label after making it, changing it from the UUID thing? | 09:39 |
dr_willis | truepurple: yes | 09:39 |

=== J22 is now known as guest5223 | ||
dr_willis | truepurple: you can change the label. it just may not be seen as changed untill you rebot. or theres some command i recall to make the kernel rescan the disks | 09:48 |
rewarp | lukicat: Try inputting the following into Grub yet? "quiet splash acpi_osi=Linux acpi_backlight=vendor" | 09:48 |
histo | I'm so confused. | 09:48 |
dr_willis | truepurple: and you can setup the fstab line to be like label='labelname' instead of 'uuid='#####' | 09:48 |
truepurple | dr_willis, and is giving a unlabeled partition a label, the same as using that label from the start? | 09:50 |
dr_willis | truepurple: of course | 09:50 |
dr_willis | the label from the 'start' is "" (null) | 09:50 |
dr_willis | same as renameing a drive in windows basically.. the os really dosent care.. it uses the uuid | 09:50 |
dr_willis | and you CAN change the uuid if you wanted to with tune2fs | 09:51 |
truepurple | dr_willis, Ok, so exactly what command do I need to run after setting up the partition, to make it open for files? And is there a way/program that will allow me to make partitions already opened or openable without command lines? | 09:51 |
dr_willis | truepurple: you make it owned by the people/groups you want to have permission for it | 09:51 |
dr_willis | truepurple: same as you would for a directory | 09:51 |
andyegan | histo:are you confused by my problem? | 09:51 |
dr_willis | but you change the modes AFTER its mounted | 09:51 |
dr_willis | find a gui tool to set the owner i guess.. i never looked for one. | 09:52 |
truepurple | dr_willis, But none of that makes much sense to me. Of course its especially confusing since I am the one and only user, so when you talk about having it owned by other people or groups, its weird | 09:52 |
dr_willis | never noticed any options for mkfs or in gparted to set the owner either. | 09:52 |
dr_willis | never really looked. | 09:53 |
truepurple | How about tune2fs? | 09:53 |
dr_willis | truepurple: there is NOT only ONE user.. the system has the root user. and your added user.. | 09:53 |
dr_willis | and other service type users | 09:53 |
truepurple | Can tune2fs set ownership? | 09:53 |
dr_willis | linux is multi user from the beginning | 09:53 |
histo | dr_willis: why doesn't he just mount it to a different directory. | 09:53 |
TakeItEZ | histo: thats not solving his problem | 09:54 |
dr_willis | truepurple: i doubt it.. since thats not its job. | 09:54 |
TakeItEZ | truepurple: tune2fs cannot | 09:54 |
truepurple | histo, I just make and mount, I am not picking any directory when I do so, or know how | 09:54 |
histo | I though he just doesn't want to use UUID | 09:54 |
dr_willis | truepurple: you set the label when it formats and it will use that as the mount directory | 09:54 |
dr_willis | well gparted can set the label befor or after formating | 09:55 |
kerf | Anyone else have their ubuntu not get passed GRUB? | 09:55 |
dr_willis | format, label . mount. chown. | 09:55 |
truepurple | dr_willis, and if I change/add a label after formating, the mount directory changes to that? | 09:55 |
dr_willis | truepurple: the automounting serice uses the label when it first mounts the volume. next reboot.. it will use the new label. or if it gets unmounted/remounted it will use the new one. | 09:56 |
dr_willis | this does NOT apply if you have a fstab entry for the filesystem.. | 09:56 |
andyegan | anyone can help with this problem please http://pastebin.com/WhgJCr7x | 09:57 |
dr_willis | if this is a internal filesystem/drive. then you can just make a fstab entry to mount it whever you want.. | 09:57 |
dr_willis | you can for external media as well.. but it can be quirky | 09:57 |
truepurple | dr_willis, too technical for me to understand | 09:57 |
dr_willis | truepurple: time to read some guides then i guess | 09:58 |
dr_willis | security basics.. the location has to be owned by the user, or set to allow them to access it. | 09:58 |
truepurple | dr_willis, Anyway so how do I set ownership again? That is what we are talking about here, right? | 09:58 |
dr_willis | the users home directory is owned by them.. as would any external ext2/3/4 filesystems on other devices | 09:58 |
dr_willis | chown command sets ownership | 09:59 |
dr_willis | chmod sets modes | 09:59 |
dr_willis | ls -l in your home and look at who owns your files.. | 09:59 |
dr_willis | it will be your username:username | 09:59 |
dr_willis | or should be at least. ;) | 09:59 |
wiggmpk | dr_willis: i thought its was username:groupname? | 10:00 |
dr_willis | wiggmpk: and each user is also a member of a group the same as their username | 10:00 |
TakeItEZ | since we use usergroups, its username=groupname | 10:00 |
wiggmpk | dr_willis: right, was just making sure | 10:00 |
dr_willis | i rarely do more advanced stuff with groups. | 10:00 |
truepurple | dr_willis, The reason why I can't put files into newly created and mounted partitions is ownership hasn't been set yet, right? | 10:00 |
dr_willis | truepurple: you got it.. | 10:01 |
dr_willis | same reason your user cantg write to any other system directorys.. not owned by the user. | 10:01 |
dr_willis | permissions Can allow more open access.. in that case | 10:01 |
truepurple | dr_willis, And the only way to set that ownership is by a command line in terminal, that you know of, right? | 10:01 |
dr_willis | thats why your user can 'read' from /bin/ and not write to it | 10:01 |
kerf | My ubuntu 12.04LTS is having trouble booting, it seems to be related to "gettext.sh" not being found, I think. Does anyone know a cure for this? | 10:01 |
dr_willis | truepurple: ive never needed a gui for it.. and it must be done with root rights for security reasons of course | 10:02 |
* jdesx what are the basic commands to enter into terminal to get sudo to work? etc | 10:02 | |
dr_willis | some of the file managers if ran as root mighjt be able to change owner.. but ive never reallyu looked. and i dont reccomend running gui file managers as root | 10:02 |
truepurple | dr_willis, and how will this ownership setting thing work with a windows duel boot? Will I have any trouble accessing the new partition from windows? | 10:02 |
truepurple | Obviously I wouldn't use ext4 | 10:03 |
dr_willis | truepurple: windows dosent read ext2/3/4 | 10:03 |
truepurple | I know | 10:03 |
TakeItEZ | truepurple: windows won't even recognise your new partition | 10:03 |
dr_willis | withoug special software | 10:03 |
dr_willis | truepurple: the owner/mode stuff doess NOT apply to vfat or ntfs filesystems | 10:03 |
truepurple | dr_willis, If I don't use ext2/3/4, I don't have to set ownership? | 10:03 |
dr_willis | those dont have linux permissions or osnerships. | 10:03 |
dr_willis | ntfs/vfat are owned by options used when you mount them. | 10:04 |
TakeItEZ | truepurple: you have to use mountoptions instead (uid, gid, umask) when using ntfs or vfat | 10:04 |
histo | !mount | truepurple | 10:04 |
ubottu | truepurple: mount is used to attach devices to directories. See also https://help.ubuntu.com/community/Mount | 10:04 |
dr_willis | the ntfs-config tool can set those where every user has full access. or not.. | 10:04 |
dr_willis | other filesystems may or may not need ownership. or mount options.. | 10:05 |
histo | truepurple: May I ask how you are currenlty mounting this filesystem you created? | 10:05 |
dr_willis | linux supports a huge # of filesystems | 10:05 |
TakeItEZ | someone should correct the mount-factoid. one mounts filesystems not necessarily partitions | 10:06 |
truepurple | histo, trying now, but mounting ntfs seems more complicated | 10:07 |
histo | truepurple: mount /dev/sdx /mountpoint | 10:07 |
histo | truepurple: replace sdx with the location of the ntfs partition. The default behavior is to moutn rw That's why I'm really confused here. | 10:08 |
truepurple | histo why isn't the right click mount thing working with ntfs? | 10:08 |
histo | truepurple: How exactly were you even trying to write to it before if you don't even know how to mount it? | 10:08 |
lukicat | hi folks, did an update from 11.10 to 12.04 on a thinkpad t420s. now touchpad, graphics and network is not workung. any1 an idea what to do? | 10:08 |
truepurple | histo, I am not trying to write to it yet, first I need to figure out why I can't mount it | 10:09 |
dr_willis | its would be sdx# normally | 10:09 |
dr_willis | truepurple: so this is a ntfs now you are trying to access? | 10:09 |
truepurple | histo, previous partition was ext4, now I am experimenting with ntfs. But first I need to know why nothing happens when I right click it and choose "mount" | 10:09 |

truepurple | histo, nope, just nothing happens | 10:10 |
histo | truepurple: Can you please open a terminal. and lsblk | 10:10 |
dr_willis | truepurple: if the ntfs for some reason has been marked 'unmounted uncleanly' or other wise in a bad condition. it may refuse to auto mount it. You could still try to mount it by the command line ntfs-3g command | 10:11 |
histo | truepurple: get the /dev/sdx# location for the ntfs partition. Then mkdir /tmp/test && sudo mount /dev/sdx# /tmp/test | 10:11 |
dr_willis | im not sure if nautilus gives any errors if it fails for that reason | 10:11 |
StephBot | quit | 10:11 |
truepurple | histo, dr_willis never mind, it was because gparted was open. Gparted is a bit of a pain that way that I have to keep closing it down to do anything with its new drives | 10:11 |
* histo there is a reason I don't use NTFS | 10:11 | |

dr_willis | nyuszika7h: it sounds like your windows drive may be in a somewhat confused state. it may be worth scannng it for errors | 10:20 |
truepurple | dr_willis, When does this sdc/sdb thing come into effect? | 10:20 |
nyuszika7h | dr_willis: chkdsk? | 10:20 |
histo | oh boy | 10:20 |
dr_willis | truepurple: it can depend on the order you plug them in.. or can happen at other times.. so dont realy on a usb you plug in to be sdb all the time... | 10:20 |
truepurple | what kind of thing are you doing when that might come into play? | 10:20 |
histo | truepurple: partitioning or mounting | 10:21 |
dr_willis | nyuszika7h: you may want to ask in #windows about the best way to verify the windows files/disk | 10:21 |
histo | truepurple: Take a look at the device names in gparted /dev/sda /dev/sdb etc... Those are different disks | 10:21 |
nyuszika7h | ok | 10:21 |
TakeItEZ | truepurple: 1st drive in system = /dev/sda, 2nd drive /dev/sdb, 3rd drive /dev/sdc .... | 10:21 |
* dr_willis has like 6 extternal usb hds... | 10:21 | |
truepurple | But the label won't change randomly, right? | 10:21 |
dr_willis | they can all be in differnt orders at each boot. | 10:21 |
dr_willis | label is part of the filesystem. dosent change | 10:21 |
truepurple | So if I pay attention to the label... I will know, right? | 10:22 |
dr_willis | same for the uuid | 10:22 |
nyuszika7h | I'll try chkdsk /F /R C: and sfc /scannow | 10:22 |
histo | dr_willis: What are you talking about changing at boot? | 10:22 |
truepurple | Right, so if the label never changes, why should I care about sda/sdb/sdc? | 10:22 |
dr_willis | histo: i have so many usb hds and some are faster/slower then others.. so sdh one time may be sdk the next.. | 10:22 |
* dr_willis has a LOT of usb ports | 10:22 | |
histo | dr_willis: It's based on addresses they shouldn't be changing. | 10:22 |
Ben64 | usb drives could change at boot | 10:23 |
Night_Elf | Hello all. I am trying to configure a printer, Xerox WorkCentre 5645, which should do acounting and needs accounting user id and group id. It is not working and the printer gives out a page with "The job was deleted due to invalid accounting IDs". By googling, I see that many people have the same problem. So then, is there a working PPD for this printer which we can use? | 10:23 |

ubottu | Svensk Ubuntu- och Kubuntustöd hittar du i #ubuntu-se resp. #kubuntu-se. Tack! | 10:23 |
dr_willis | ive seen some pcs that make whatever HD they boot from be sda... then the rest fall in line.. | 10:23 |
dr_willis | that really really had me confused for a while | 10:24 |
TakeItEZ | thats why we use UUIDs or labels | 10:24 |
histo | nonsense | 10:24 |
TakeItEZ | s-ata hotplug etc. you never can be sure that /dev/sdb always will be sdb | 10:24 |
truepurple | Well I can tell which device it is by its size | 10:25 |
histo | truepurple: Just use UUID | 10:25 |
truepurple | histo, you mean label? | 10:25 |
nyuszika7h | no, UUID | 10:25 |
nyuszika7h | label works if you don't change it | 10:25 |
histo | universal unique identifier | 10:25 |
nyuszika7h | but the UUID never changes afaik | 10:25 |
histo | nyuszika7h: you can change the UUID | 10:25 |
dr_willis | i bought 2 identical external USB hds once.. they even had the same UUID | 10:25 |
nyuszika7h | you can? | 10:26 |
dr_willis | that really really confused things.. | 10:26 |
nyuszika7h | dr_willis: by default? nice coincidence | 10:26 |
Ben64 | ls -l /dev/disk/by-uuid/ | 10:26 |
dr_willis | you can change the UUID yes.. and it can change | 10:26 |
truepurple | nyuszika7h, yeah, so if I never change the label, then what is the problem with depending on the label? | 10:26 |
dr_willis | resizeing, and other things | 10:26 |
dr_willis | nyuszika7h: i think they all had the same uuid... just how they were made | 10:26 |
Ben64 | i like setting my own uuid | 10:26 |
nyuszika7h | nothing, I guess, but if you reformat it, the label will be lost/changed | 10:26 |
histo | nyuszika7h: tune2fs -U random /some/device/foo | 10:26 |
Ben64 | lrwxrwxrwx 1 root root 10 Feb 6 18:57 00000000-0000-0000-0000-000000000064 -> ../../sdc2 | 10:26 |
dr_willis | uuid=000-000-000-000-0001 ;) | 10:26 |
TakeItEZ | nyuszika7h: so will the UUID | 10:27 |
ikonia | labels are depreciated | 10:27 |
TakeItEZ | ikonia: why? | 10:27 |
ikonia | TakeItEZ: they are unreliable in the event of file system corruption | 10:27 |
histo | Because some no talent clown decides were all going to suffer with this new BS label UUID | 10:27 |
dr_willis | new? | 10:28 |
ikonia | histo: UUID is a good concept but a failure for home computing, it it will improve as it matures | 10:28 |
histo | Just like the people that can't handle nic device naming changing because they can't figure out which mac is which. So now new systemd naming is all jacked up. | 10:28 |
TakeItEZ | ikonia: the UUID has the same problem when fs is corupted | 10:29 |
ikonia | histo: as it matures, it will become dependable | 10:29 |
ikonia | TakeItEZ: no, it doesn't | 10:29 |
worm | A bad thing happened when I was trying to upgrade the dist: my gdm sucked and I can't get back to the desktop. Now all I can see is just a gnome3-style volume setting button and an accessibility setting button. No user password box is shown. What can I do? | 10:29 |

dr_willis | that will be such a confuseing time when it gets here.. | 10:29 |
truepurple | dr_willis, is messing around with partitions in vbox work just like outside of vbox? | 10:30 |
histo | ikonia: Really then explain how specifying a UUID won't get corrupted but specifying a label will? | 10:30 |
Layke | I'm trying to get my microphone working.. where I would I do this? | 10:30 |
dr_willis | truepurple: it should. | 10:30 |
histo | truepurple: yes you can even partition a file | 10:30 |
lewik | How to redirect all *.local to 127.0.0.1? | 10:30 |
ikonia | histo: it's where it's written/how it's generated | 10:30 |
dr_willis | truepurple: you can have severla hds in vbox. and parition/clone/format all you want | 10:30 |
histo | ikonia: Both would be stored with the filesystem if the user changes it. | 10:31 |
dr_willis | truepurple: virtual hard drives are fun. ;) | 10:31 |
ikonia | histo: no, it's basically a checksum/md5 of the disk that's written to the blkid.tab | 10:31 |
ikonia | histo: corruption dosn't change that so it will still match | 10:31 |
ikonia | histo: that bring different problems with it though..... | 10:32 |
Dave89 | every fucken virtual machine i try ubuntu on | 10:32 |

Dave89 | This virtual machine is configured for 64-bit guest operating systems. However, 64-bit operation is not possible. | 10:32 |
TakeItEZ | ikonia: the only difference is, that lables aren't necessarily unique. the effect of a corrupted fs would be the same. blkid.tab also contains labels | 10:32 |
FloodBot1 | Dave89: Please don't flood; use http://paste.ubuntu.com to paste; don't use Enter as punctuation. | 10:32 |

Dave89 | im sick of this shit | 10:32 |

dr_willis | 0_o | 10:33 |
ikonia | TakeItEZ: not sure I agree with that, | 10:33 |
dr_willis | and here i was typing an answer.. ;P | 10:33 |
truepurple | So how would I use test disk to recover a deleted partition? And is there a chance of data corruption if you delete then recover a partition, assuming you don't do anything with partitioning between the two? | 10:33 |
dr_willis | truepurple: theres always a chance | 10:34 |
histo | ikonia: They are both part of the filesystem I don't understand how you think corruption is not an issue. | 10:34 |
ikonia | truepurple: testdisks effectivness depends on a lot of things, | 10:34 |
dr_willis | truepurple: you could set up a vbox linux install and try it. | 10:34 |
truepurple | Even if nothing is done between them? | 10:34 |

meiwes | WHY MUST I UPGRADE????/ | 10:58 |
histo | ikonia: I don't think you can. It's not a block device. | 10:59 |
dr_willis | because you want newer stuff..... | 10:59 |
Ben64 | because you're running a 5 year old version of ubuntu! | 10:59 |

cnf | hi, is there a guide somewhere on how to build .deb packages for kernel modules? | 10:59 |

dr_willis | meiwes: people said same thing about windows 1.0 | 11:00 |
meiwes | Ben64:I meant a newer version of firefox | 11:01 |
Ben64 | why not just use a 486 with windows 3.1? | 11:01 |
ejv | let him use 8.04 if he/she wants to; we simply don't have to support him/her. ;) | 11:01 |
histo | ikonia: well if it's bind mounted would it cache automatically? | 11:01 |
ikonia | histo: I don't know without looking to be honest | 11:01 |
dr_willis | you are usng the windows 95 of ubuntu.. ;-) | 11:01 |
ejv | no, the windows 95 of buntu was 6.06 | 11:02 |
meiwes | dr_willis:if it works,why upgrade | 11:02 |
Ben64 | 8.04 was great... before 2010 | 11:02 |
vandemar | meiwes: because it's not supported, which means bugs and security problems | 11:02 |
meiwes | I could just upgrade firefox to newer firefox,problem solved,but that's not possible. | 11:02 |
dr_willis | meiwes: one word.... security | 11:02 |
Touhou11 | meiwes: If you want an OS which is supported for much longer, you should try Windows to be honest. You can still get the latest software for XP which released 11 years ago | 11:02 |
Ben64 | meiwes: no, that would not solve your problems | 11:02 |
ikonia | meiwes: when canonical drops a distro's support, it gets no updates | 11:02 |
vandemar | meiwes: do you want your bank accounts hijacked? email hijacked? do you want your computer to be part of some botnet? | 11:03 |
Ben64 | Touhou11: theres a lot of stuff that is windows 7/8 only now | 11:03 |
meiwes | vandemar:Nope,that would be scary. | 11:03 |
ikonia | meiwes: so you have choices a.) upgrade ubuntu to a supported version b.) stay with the last versions canonical support c.) build and maintain your own software on 8.04 | 11:03 |
ikonia | meiwes: you need to pick one of those options. | 11:03 |

thinknow | when should openvpn get into the network manager again? | 14:02 |
nino_ | Does anyone know why i cant go in ubuntu anymore after kernel upgrade from 3.2.0-23-generic to linux-image-3.2.0-38-generic??? I only get a black screen i want to go in the new kernel. If i go to the previous one everything is fine. | 14:02 |
lobato | nino_, , sometimes when i have this black screen issue on ubuntu kernel updates, normaly has someting to do with my video driver, wich is nvdia, so i need to edit my grub execution line | 14:02 |
thinknow | as in ubuntu 10 and earlier ? | 14:02 |
dr_willis | installed via a. deb or how amrit ? | 14:02 |
nino_ | Lobato how do i do that? | 14:02 |
amrit | no. i tried reading instructions from net to manually install it by typing some codes | 14:02 |
nino_ | I have Nvidia to | 14:03 |
=== christian is now known as Guest49992 | ||
dr_willis | amrit: and the exact issues are? | 14:04 |
lobato | nino_, when at grub menu, press 'e' to edit the startup command, and after the word 'splash' put 'nomodeset' and press 'Ctrl+F10' to start ubuntu without try using your video card driver and uses generic video | 14:04 |
thinknow | when should openvpn get into the network manager again? Or how to make it possible?! | 14:04 |
MonkeyDust | amrit i read here, it's some development tool, java and c++ | 14:05 |
dr_willis | !openvpn | 14:05 |
ubottu | OpenVPN is a vpn technology in Ubuntu, sudo apt-get install openvpn and then see http://openvpn.net/ and see the documentation "HOWTO" noting you have already installed it. ;-) It rocks! | 14:05 |
thinknow | lobato, : on the startup command, what does the insmod_msdos ++ means? | 14:05 |
nino_ | Lobato how do i het the Nvidia driver working againt after doing that? | 14:05 |
nino_ | _get_ | 14:05 |
lobato | thinknow, not sure | 14:05 |
thinknow | does everyone have it? | 14:05 |

lobato | nino_, after this you can reinstall nvidia driver with 'sudo apt-get reinstall nvidia-current' | 14:06 |
shantilove | oki | 14:06 |
lobato | if you uses nvidia driver | 14:06 |
BluesKaj | Hiya all | 14:07 |

karpuragauram | anyone. I am stuck at 'installing the upgrades ' can I shut the system down. the upgrading stopped at 25 libs left due to disk space problems | 14:26 |
karpuragauram | 25 mins left | 14:26 |
lotuspsychje | laters dr_willis | 14:27 |
BluesKaj | karpuragauram, how much space did you create for your OS ? | 14:27 |
genii-around | karpuragauram: Turning the power off in the middle of a large operation like that usually doesn't end well | 14:27 |
madpup | or should i just pull it, sell it and use the cpu's built in hd 4000 (i5 3570k)? | 14:28 |
karpuragauram | I was net upgrading and it asked me to free 1.3 gb on root. I freed 2.5. I have a old system and 60 gb whole hdd. | 14:29 |
vandemar | if you don't need high 3d performance for gaming, use the onboard intel gpu. it'll save on your power bill too. | 14:29 |
JeffJassky | hey, guys. I have a 10.04 server box. I'm trying to permanently limit CPU usage for processes with a specific name. I tried googling around a bit but haven't found anything that would do it permanently. | 14:29 |
JeffJassky | Might anyone know of a solution? | 14:30 |
madpup | cool, will it run flash, hd video? | 14:30 |
genii-around | JeffJassky: If these processes are daemons which are started by upstart, you could do something like add a renice number for them into their conf file | 14:31 |
karpuragauram | Blueskaj do I have a choice or is manual install the only option left. | 14:31 |
karpuragauram | genii-around any advice | 14:31 |
JeffJassky | genii-around: I'm a real noob when it comes to this stuff.. what is upstart? | 14:32 |
genii-around | karpuragauram: You said you made room, but how much room is on your /boot area? | 14:32 |
vandemar | madpup: yes, intel gma4000 will play hd video easily. it's 3d where you start seeing significant differences in stand-alone ati/nvidia | 14:33 |
madpup | i just found, google, a program called cpulimit, that claims to limit processes to a percentage. | 14:33 |
diki | Question. | 14:33 |
yown | What is a good program for securely deleting data with ext4? | 14:33 |
=== TomyBook is now known as TomyLobo | ||
madpup | cheers vand will try | 14:34 |
karpuragauram | I had a total of 10 gb on lucid and now _increased it to 12 gb. | 14:34 |
genii-around | JeffJassky: It's the thing which starts up all the programs which need to run when you boot. So all the applications like maybe mysql, apache, etc have entries in /etc/init directory which upstart reads then starts them based on what it finds there | 14:34 |
=== madpup is now known as madpup_brb | ||
diki | Shell scripts have a line that starts with #! usr/bin/perl for instance | 14:34 |
genii-around | !upstart | 14:34 |
ubottu | Upstart is meant to replace the old Sys V Init system with an event-driven init model. For more information please see: http://upstart.ubuntu.com/ | 14:34 |
diki | Is it possible to make it so, they don't look in that path, but another? | 14:34 |
JeffJassky | madpup: Unfortunately cpulimit runs in the foreground of terminal.. and as soon as you exit it stops limiting the process. For some reason it's more of a temporary solution. | 14:35 |
vandemar | yown: `shred` | 14:35 |
JeffJassky | genii-around: Thanks! I'll take a peek in there. | 14:35 |
karpuragauram | on lucid roughly 1..5 gb was free but now. | 14:35 |
karpuragauram | :(. | 14:35 |
genii-around | karpuragauram: Can you use a pastebin to show the result of: mount and: df -h please | 14:35 |
genii-around | JeffJassky: Might also want to take a look at the mnual page for nice or renice as well so you get an idea how it works | 14:36 |
JeffJassky | genii-around: Yep was taking a look there. That might work out for me. Thanks a bunch. | 14:36 |
genii-around | JeffJassky: No prob | 14:37 |
karpuragauram | chatting from my phone. computer is frozen. how do I do pastebin now :(. | 14:37 |
karpuragauram | I can tell u that / boot is full though | 14:38 |
karpuragauram | and upgrade terminal icon is just sitting there blinking at me | 14:39 |
yown | vandemar: Well this data is already deleted, but is there a way to wipe out the residue, It seems like shred is only for files that haven't been deleted yet | 14:39 |

nickey | theadmin: should it work, but it don't... =( I doing it, command don't show any output, but resolution is still the same... | 15:20 |
b2w | theadmin:your tips helped me a lot which made me win the competition. | 15:20 |
b2w | theadmin:thanks a lot.... | 15:20 |
theadmin | b2w: Sarcasm is not welcome. I was trying to help, you asked me for "indian languages". I figured you meant Hindi or such, and it had support for that. When you asked for "tamil", well, I didn't find it. | 15:21 |
theadmin | nickey: Is the resolution you're trying listed when you run "xrandr" without any arguments? | 15:22 |

theadmin | b2w: It's not really possible officially just yet, but you can search for "Linux Installer" in the Play Store. | 15:27 |
theadmin | b2w: If it's an Android device, that is. If not, then I have no idea | 15:27 |
b2w | theadmin:ok.can i install just the linux kernel not the whole ubuntu. | 15:29 |

kartick | i need a help about data recovery.can anyone pvt me and help me? | 15:41 |
theadmin | nickey: Ah, well, then that makes sense, you're not connected to an X display so xrandr doesn't know what to modify. | 15:42 |

trublwithnorml | Gnome question: I just put Chrubuntu on an Acer Chromebook, and switched to Gnome Classic, can't stand Unity. I can't modify the top panel, alt-right click, which is alt, two finger tap on a chromebook, doesn't do anything. Any ideas? | 15:44 |

ikonia | trublwithnorml: chrububuntu ? | 15:44 |
ikonia | kartick: that's not going to happen | 15:44 |
holstein | john38: puppy is not "supported" that way.. it just is.. you dont install it typically and get nice updates like ubuntu does.. its minimal | 15:44 |
trublwithnorml | ubuntu 12.04 LTS on a Chromebook. | 15:44 |
kartick | realy there is no way to recover that? | 15:45 |
ikonia | trublwithnorml: that's not an ubuntu distro though, that's googles version isn't it ? | 15:45 |
ikonia | kartick: nope, you've put a new file system on the disk, and overwrite the files with more files | 15:45 |
kartick | i had my family photos and many files now all files are gone can i use any recovery software? | 15:45 |
theadmin | kartick: Try with Photorec (part of Testdisk suite). You can recover some files that way, but it won't be perfect (some parts of contents may be missing, the filenames will be messed up, etc) | 15:46 |
kartick | ok can i use recovery software? | 15:46 |
trublwithnorml | It's not a google product, they have their own OS. It's out there somewhere,I just googled chromebook ubuntu Acer and it's the top response. | 15:46 |
robin0800 | trublwithn You may have to use the window key as well | 15:46 |
kartick | ok thanks theadmin | 15:47 |
trublwithnorml | what window key, it's a chromebook. There's no window key | 15:47 |
ikonia | trublwtit's not an ubuntu release. | 15:47 |
theadmin | trublwithnorml: To get the panel menu you need to Alt+Super+right click, that's how it is in GNOME nowadays. | 15:48 |
mdh | restore from backup. | 15:48 |
trublwithnorml | Ah! there's a key with a symbol that looks like a magnifying glass next to alt. That plus alt plus two finger tap does it. Thanks for the clues! | 15:48 |

guywithAITgfx | Does the free ATI driver support multiple monitors (not just showing the same on both monitors, actually having more screen space)? | 15:50 |
theadmin | guywithAITgfx: Not sure about the free one. But I know that fglrx does. | 15:50 |
guywithAITgfx | theadmin: is that the proprietary ATI driver? | 15:50 |
theadmin | guywithAITgfx: yep | 15:50 |
guywithAITgfx | theadmin: Is it usable? | 15:51 |
theadmin | guywithAITgfx: Rather, propretiary AMD driver for video cards. It's usable although has problems with older card models. You can get it from the "Additional Drivers" app (jockey-gtk) that comes with Ubuntu. | 15:52 |
ronalds_m | hello | 15:52 |
guywithAITgfx | theadmin: How old? Mine is from 2010 or 2011 (I got this box in early 2011) | 15:53 |

phschwartz | I installed 12.04 server on about 200 servers and had it setup a second disk (4TB raid6) mounted to /mnt/disk1 on each node. I decided now that I want to have this split into a single partition and an extra partition for lvm. I scripted running parted to rebuild the partition, now what is the easiest way to modify my fstab on all 200 servers to remove UUID=***** from the line for that mount point and set it to /dev/sdb1 | 15:54 |
ikonia | phschwartz: ssh, keys and a sed script | 15:54 |
theadmin | guywithAITgfx: Could you provide the exact model? | 15:54 |
=== dziegler is now known as dziegler_off | ||
phschwartz | ikonia: I was hoping sed wasn't the suggestion. lol | 15:54 |
Touhou11 | phschwartz: A perl script would do the same thing much easier | 15:55 |
ikonia | yeah, much easier than a 1 line sed command | 15:55 |
Touhou11 | ikonia: Agreed | 15:55 |
theadmin | Touhou11: That was sarcasm, I think. | 15:55 |
ikonia | don't know how you can get easier than a 1 line sed command | 15:55 |
ikonia | can't wait to find out though | 15:55 |
Touhou11 | sed has the most abysmal syntax | 15:55 |
RZAFC | theadmin: what do you mean by ppc support? | 15:55 |
rurufufuss | how does one set a default "open with" in 12.10 for files? | 15:55 |
theadmin | ikonia: Everything appears easier with Perl to Perl coders, even if it's actually harder. | 15:56 |
ikonia | it's one line | 15:56 |
theadmin | rurufufuss: I'm pretty sure it's still the same way as before, in Properties. | 15:56 |
guywithAITgfx | theadmin: The card says HD-465X-ZD | 15:56 |
ikonia | sed -d '/UUID=kfjsdlkfjsd' /etc/fstab | 15:56 |
rurufufuss | theadmin: thanks, found it | 15:56 |
ikonia | how does it get much easier than that | 15:56 |
Touhou11 | Much easier in Perl, worth learning imo | 15:57 |
theadmin | guywithAITgfx: That appears to be supported. | 15:57 |
guywithAITgfx | Touhou11: Much easier in Python | 15:57 |
theadmin | *ahem* guys, enough with the flamewar, this is offtopic | 15:58 |
guywithAITgfx | theadmin: Awesome, thanks for helping. However, there is one problem. Under the "additional drivers" menu, I do not see any drivers to install. The box is empty. | 15:58 |
theadmin | guywithAITgfx: Oh, then I've been wrong. Ubuntu won't let you install unsupported drivers easily, and it's better not to try. I suppose it's not supported then (ATI's confusing in that way) | 15:59 |
guywithAITgfx | theadmin: well, that's disappointing :( | 15:59 |
mdh | that's dissapointing advice | 16:00 |
guywithAITgfx | However, I will try to figure out if the free driver supports multiple monitors (properly) | 16:00 |
theadmin | guywithAITgfx: You could still "sudo apt-get install fglrx" and reboot, but it might fail. If it does, then "sudo apt-get remove fglrx" from a TTY and reboot again, if it doesn't, well, yay. | 16:00 |
guywithAITgfx | theadmin: Thank you :-) | 16:01 |
theadmin | Speaking of drivers, I have a GeForce GT 540M and right after the install of Ubuntu 12.04, the propretiary driver warning came up, but I didn't install it back then. Now all of a sudden the driver dissapeared from Jockey, what gives? Could it be a result of kernel upgrade or somesuch? | 16:05 |
theadmin | Noveau's fine for my purposes, but I'm confused. | 16:05 |

hs366 | can someone recommend a free and good PDF editor plz ? | 16:16 |
Touhou11 | hs366: The official Adobe one | 16:17 |
bazhang | hs366, apt-cache search pdf in terminal and take a look | 16:17 |
hs366 | ok thx i will check | 16:17 |
theadmin | hs366: PDF is mostly a read-only format. You can export to PDF from pretty much anywhere in Ubuntu by printing to the virtual PDF printer, but I know of no way to edit an existing PDF. | 16:17 |
Touhou11 | hs366: By editor, do you mean filling in PDF forms? Or creating PDFs? | 16:18 |
hs366 | i just need to highlight and use underline or cross line | 16:18 |
TheSov | does anyone know why logrotate is breaking my syslog? every time it runs my syslog stops logging | 16:19 |
jhutchins_wk | hs366: PDF was originally designed specifically to be non-editable. It was meant to be the equivalent of a printed page, which can not be easily modified. | 16:19 |
hs366 | not very professional one like Adobe pro windows version | 16:19 |
jhutchins_wk | hs366: That said, some Linux PDF viewers can cope with forms, and it's possible to hack it. | 16:19 |
jhutchins_wk | TheSov: What did you mess with? | 16:20 |
hs366 | i c | 16:20 |
raj | is `virtualbox-guest-utils` still a valid package? | 16:20 |
jhutchins_wk | hs366: The Adobe policy is that you edit the original document, not the PDF. | 16:20 |
aethelrick | you could try pdfedit... not sure how good it is | 16:20 |
hs366 | i found PDFSTUDIO from forum but i don't know if it's free or not | 16:20 |
theadmin | raj: Yes | 16:21 |

hs366 | pdfedit sounds good some ppl recommend it too. it will try , | 16:21 |
genii-around | hs366: Perhaps check out pdfedit , or else just import the pdf you want to edit into libreoffice | 16:21 |
hs366 | bazhang, (apt-cache search pdf ) is it search all pdf application available on ubuntu ? | 16:22 |
karpuragauram | hello again. I have a live USB xubuntu CD. it is working OK but clicking on install is crashing | 16:22 |
jhutchins_wk | hs366: Also libre/open office, as genii-around suggested, inkscape, and pdftk. | 16:23 |
genii-around | hs366: You can use the extensions manager of libre/open office to install the pdf import filter. It then will bring it into the Draw application for editing | 16:24 |

ntzrmtthihu777 | rather rude, that guest. | 17:02 |
tgm4883 | mdh, he wasn't | 17:02 |
BluesKaj | killer, do you have a cdrom drive ? if so burn the ubuntu image to a cd and try to install from that .. Seems to me usb media has more difficulty installing the OS than cds do. | 17:02 |
ntzrmtthihu777 | yeah, good thing ubuntu | 17:02 |
ntzrmtthihu777 | yeah, good thing ubuntu's iso is so small, just need a cd not a DVD | 17:02 |
tgm4883 | I've had more issues installing from CD than from USB | 17:03 |
phschwartz | I have a script that is running against a cluster of servers (doing an install with apt-get). One of the packages is failing in debconf as it is prompting for a response due to a changed file but since I am doing it non-interactive I can't respond. Is there a way to have it automatically respond with the default. | 17:03 |
bazhang | mmmbud, that appears to be supported by the linux backports modules | 17:03 |
tgm4883 | phschwartz, have you tried with -y? | 17:03 |
bean | phschwartz, apt-get -y | 17:03 |
phschwartz | I am doing the install with apt-get install -y libvirt-bin (file conflict in there. default is to keep my current which I want to do) | 17:04 |

guywithATIgfx | mdh, but I know there is one for free proprietary nvidia driver, which is quite good. unfortunately that doesn't help me much | 17:09 |
mdh | guywithATIgfx: does the second display not show up in the ubuntu display preferences config? | 17:09 |
guywithATIgfx | mdh, I am using Xubuntu, so I don't know if Unity has a different dialog, but the one in Xfce only allows me to change resolution and refresh rate, not what I want to change | 17:10 |

Superuser | So I had Intel HD graphics 2000 or whatever, whatever came with the CPU (building a new pc) | 17:24 |
Superuser | and I just bought an NVIDIA GTX 550Ti | 17:24 |
Superuser | and I keep getting all sorts of weird errors | 17:24 |
Guest68614 | hi~ | 17:24 |
Superuser | I had to unplug it | 17:24 |
Superuser | I tried to install the proprietary drivers and that failed somehow (had to do it via the term, the gui program didn't come up for some reason) | 17:25 |
Superuser | any ideas | 17:25 |
holstein | Superuser: you tried the proprietary drivers for the nvidia? what is your goal? | 17:25 |
Superuser | make it work | 17:25 |

Superuser | first it detects the screen as 'portable computer' | 17:26 |
holstein | Superuser: i would just reinstall the proper prorietary driver and come back for troubleshooting | 17:26 |
Superuser | the launcher does not come up | 17:26 |
Superuser | the mouse keeps disappearing | 17:26 |
Superuser | all I see is a section of my wallpaper | 17:26 |
Superuser | etc etc | 17:26 |
Superuser | and yes I have restarted X | 17:26 |
Superuser | to no avail, it logs me out, when I log back in it's the same | 17:26 |
holstein | Superuser: are you up to date with upgrades? also, try not to hit the enter keey so much.. type more in one line | 17:26 |
Superuser | yeah, sorry, I know IRC etiquette. Yes, 12.10 | 17:27 |
holstein | Superuser: i might roll back to 12.04 and test.. assuming driver support is a deal breaker | 17:27 |
Superuser | I've downloaded gigabytes and gigabytes of apps, don't want to do a clean install | 17:27 |
Superuser | oh wait that kind of upgrade | 17:27 |
Superuser | no 12.10 clean | 17:27 |
Superuser | I installed it 2 days ago and been using it, GPU came today | 17:28 |
Superuser | (the OS that is) | 17:28 |
holstein | Superuser: i was talking about upgrades to your current install.. sudo apt-get update and sudo apt-get dist-upgrade.. in case a kernel update "fixes" the driver issue you might be having | 17:28 |
Superuser | I can't even bring up the terminal when I'm using my borked drivers (defaults to VESA instead of nouveau after the failed install) holstein, but I'll do it now | 17:29 |

GeekSquid | Greetings from UBUCON at SCALE!!! | 17:30 |
Superuser | from the jockey-text terminal application | 17:30 |
tanveer | i cant uninstall a package because it says it is not installed while it is. i think installation name is different than the screen name | 17:30 |
ikonia | Superuser: have you checked on the nvidia.com site which drivers version are classed to support your card | 17:30 |
tanveer | how can i get the original name of the package? | 17:31 |
tgm4883 | tanveer, what are you trying to remove? | 17:31 |
ikonia | tanveer: how did you install it ? | 17:31 |
Superuser | well, that's not the recommended method according to the wiki but I guess I'll try ikonia, I just hope they won't bugger up the Intel HD graphics drivers too | 17:31 |
ikonia | Superuser: what's not the recommended method ? | 17:31 |
ikonia | Superuser: ahhh is this a GPU ? | 17:32 |
ikonia | optimus ? | 17:32 |
Superuser | GTX | 17:32 |
ikonia | Superuser: is that a dual optimus card | 17:32 |
Superuser | these are meant to be well supported under proprietary | 17:32 |
tanveer | it is a package name MouseTrap, it was a program for web cam. it uses webcam to move mouse curser | 17:32 |
ikonia | Superuser: to be clear, I'm not telling you to download or install ANYTHING from nvidia.com | 17:32 |
Superuser | no idea | 17:32 |
tgm4883 | tanveer, assuming you are trying to remove /usr/bin/mysql do 'dpkg -S /usr/bin/mysql' | 17:32 |
ikonia | Superuser: I'm telling you to research on nvida.com which driver versions support your card | 17:32 |
Superuser | I thought optimus are embedded cards for laptops, ikonia? | 17:32 |
ikonia | Superuser: they are, but why do you have an intel card and nvida card on the same board ? | 17:33 |
Superuser | http://www.nvidia.co.uk/Download/index.aspx?lang=en-uk <-- only Windows is listed :( | 17:33 |
holstein | ikonia: Superuser has a machine built with integrated intel.. and the nvidia is added on | 17:33 |

Superuser | Intel is integrated into the motherboard/processor, duh | 17:33 |
Superuser | I *ADDED* the Geforce just now | 17:33 |
ikonia | Superuser: please don't get smart with "duh" | 17:33 |
holstein | Superuser: ikonia was just asking for clarification | 17:34 |
holstein | Superuser: as i was asking, are you up to date with upgrades? | 17:34 |
ikonia | Superuser: you've just made the command "I hope the nvidia drivers don't mess up my intel card" - which the only way that would happen is if it's a dual card | 17:34 |
Superuser | dist-upgrade is running right now | 17:34 |
Karthi | how to find the graphics card | 17:34 |

theadmin | kenperkins: dpkg itself is unaware of APT capabilities, so no. But, there are programs which can do it for you (try wajig, for instance, an all-in-one command-line APT tool) | 17:51 |

agu10^ | why not? | 17:56 |
agu10^ | it sounds certainly possible. | 17:56 |

solar_sea | holstein: that's ridiculous, i need the live for properly settings my disks. Isn't there a debootstrap alternative, or a way to call mini.iso's installer ? | 18:29 |
holstein | solar_sea: otherwise, you install the full system from the live CD, and remove what you dont want/need https://help.ubuntu.com/community/Installation/MinimalCD | 18:29 |

ModFather | hi there, is any method to add an external network printer to my Ubuntu box? i trying but without success | 18:47 |
holstein | ModFather: depends on the unit. i usually just add and specify the IP address of the printer.. i would test ping the printer | 18:48 |
ModFather | holstein it works through my Windows Machine, | 18:48 |
AcidRain | ok. now lets say that my cd drive is not set to boot, how can i fix this when i cant get into bios because my disk that is full wont detect? | 18:49 |
AcidRain | so the system hangs on it | 18:49 |
ModFather | i download the drivers of the printer, i selected Network printer, i browse the drivers, and now i can print from my home Windows machine, but through Ubuntu i cant make it work | 18:49 |
ModFather | i am using my Ubuntu with terminal | 18:49 |
holstein | ModFather: doesnt matter. the printer manufacturer can create/provide a driver for you for linux that will give you a similar experience.. i would try pinging the printer, then just try adding it | 18:49 |
holstein | ModFather: you downloaded windows drivers... those are irrelevant.. just try the add a printer wizard | 18:50 |
Wferr | holstein: http://tinypic.com/r/ouzazs/6 | 18:50 |
ModFather | holstein: it works fine on my windows machine | 18:50 |
ModFather | i did it through ip and port 9100 | 18:50 |
holstein | ModFather: correct, and that is irrelevant.. ubuntu doesnt use the windows drivers.. try and add the printer with the wizard, pointing to the IP | 18:51 |
ModFather | holstein: does the terminal has wizzard? | 18:51 |
ModFather | that ubuntu is server edition without Graphicals or Screen on it | 18:51 |
Underyx | hey, guys | 18:52 |
holstein | ModFather: cups has a web GUI.. i would run a normal live CD.. install the printer, and note what gets installed, and try and do that from the server version | 18:53 |
Underyx | a friend of mine's having this problem where she, when running specific apt-get commands, presses y to confirm installation of a package, and apt-get just instantly quits, saying 'Abort.' | 18:53 |
ModFather | holstein: no dont spend time to run live cd etc | 18:53 |
Underyx | it seems to me to be related to modifying linux-headers | 18:53 |
ModFather | holstein: its okey, i have install cups and added the printer as Socket://ip:9100 and also added a 2n printer socket://ip and i choosed the corrected drivers | 18:54 |
holstein | ModFather: i would have to have that printer in front of me to see how to add it.. that would be the easiest solution.. add from live CD, and see | 18:54 |
ModFather | when i am trying to print i am getting: "/usr/lib/cups/filter/foomatic-rip-hplip failed" | 18:54 |
holstein | ModFather: good luck with that.. maybe ask in the #ubuntu-server channel, or the server mailing list | 18:55 |

holstein | ErtanERBEK: it could.. its a "testing" ppa.. thats why i would just use whatever is in the repos "stable" unless you need functionality | 19:15 |
ErtanERBEK | holstein, I need new versin gnome-shell because screen recorder have some bug | 19:16 |
ErtanERBEK | and gnome team fixed that bug with gnome-shell 3.6.3 | 19:16 |
holstein | ErtanERBEK: you can always build it yourself.. other than that, you'll just need to search and try PPA versions | 19:16 |
ErtanERBEK | holstein, I am searching :D | 19:17 |
FCHMMR | hi all | 19:19 |
FCHMMR | i tried the forums but responses are too slow | 19:19 |
Chjjjhgghjijhhhh | hi | 19:19 |
FCHMMR | just wandered what some people might think of this, | 19:19 |
FCHMMR | I'm sure you are all aware of some concerns people have about privacy with regards to Ubuntu 12.10 and higher | 19:20 |
FCHMMR | I'm neutral in the matter but, | 19:20 |
FCHMMR | I thought about it, | 19:20 |
genii-around | !adlens | 19:20 |
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 | 19:20 |
FCHMMR | what people complain about is storing logs of string searches from the Dash | 19:20 |
mmmbud | is xchat ad supported? | 19:20 |
FCHMMR | in teh privacy policy they talk about how they share their data too | 19:20 |
FCHMMR | but I notice people are divided on the issue, | 19:20 |
clue_h | FCHMMR, all that can be removed and or disabled | 19:20 |
FCHMMR | some say it should be opt-in, | 19:21 |
holstein | FCHMMR: you'll just have to read, and decide for yoursefl.. we dont maintain those servers | 19:21 |
FCHMMR | some say it can be disabled | 19:21 |
FCHMMR | some say theres no problem | 19:21 |
DJones | FCHMMR: This isn't really a discussion channel, its for support issues, you'd be better saying this in either #ubuntu-discuss or #ubuntu-offtopic | 19:21 |
af4qor | im writing a bash script atm, does anyone know the command to open a new terminal from within the terminal (if it exists) ? | 19:21 |
FCHMMR | i thought of a simple solution that would please everyone: | 19:21 |
holstein | FCHMMR: its all open, so everything can be disabled | 19:21 |
clue_h | af4qor, file open | 19:21 |
FCHMMR | dont keep logs (on cannonical servers) and dont share information at all | 19:21 |
FCHMMR | that way you leave it enabled by default | 19:21 |
FCHMMR | but there would be no privacy issue | 19:21 |
clue_h | af4qor, ignore that i miss read | 19:21 |
FCHMMR | what do you think? | 19:21 |
FCHMMR | people wouild still search in dash, | 19:21 |
FCHMMR | but their data would not be logged (and not monitored) | 19:22 |
FCHMMR | noone really mentions that... | 19:22 |
Pici | FCHMMR: Again, this isn't an issue for this support channel. | 19:22 |
af4qor | clue_h, lol that confused me for a second | 19:22 |
FCHMMR | oh | 19:22 |
DJones | FCHMMR: As I said, #ubuntu-discuss or #ubuntu-offtopic for discussions like that | 19:22 |
genii-around | FCHMMR: As DJones points out, the subject is better discussed in either #ubuntu-discuss or #ubuntu-offtopic | 19:22 |
FCHMMR | where do i go to discuss such matters? | 19:22 |
Akiva-Thinkpad | I am developing for ubuntu, using launchpad and bazaar and any other parts of the ubuntu ecosystem, and I am wondering if there is an ubuntu developers blog where I could blog my own progress? | 19:22 |
FCHMMR | ah | 19:22 |

FCHMMR | thank you for your help, | 19:22 |
FCHMMR | and i apalogise for the interruption | 19:22 |
DJones | FCHMMR: You could also suggest it on Ubuntu Brainstorm | 19:22 |
DJones | !brainstorm | FCHMMR | 19:23 |
ubottu | FCHMMR: Post your ideas for Ubuntu at http://brainstorm.ubuntu.com and vote for the ones you like! | 19:23 |
FCHMMR | that would be prudent | 19:23 |
FCHMMR | thank you | 19:23 |

FCHMMR | i made an account on brainstorm now | 19:26 |
af4qor | bash | 19:26 |
FCHMMR | i'll post my idea there instead | 19:26 |
FCHMMR | irc is not reliable for this thing | 19:26 |
FCHMMR | brainstorm is better | 19:26 |
clue_h | DrZaius, #ubuntu-devel | 19:26 |
DrZaius | af4qor: bash is the shell, but the shell is open within a terminal... what terminal are you using? | 19:26 |

Pici | DrZaius: #bzr might be better for your question | 19:26 |
af4qor | (tilda) | 19:27 |
DrZaius | af4qor: in ubuntu you cant ctrl-shift-t to open new terminal | 19:27 |
* Dimensional is looking to talk with some of the developers over a question/idea | 19:27 | |
af4qor | ik but im looking for a command | 19:27 |
DrZaius | af4qor: i use tilda as well :D ctrl +shift +t open new tab, alt + 2 to switch to second tab | 19:28 |
N105 | hello i have to desktop one with ubuntu and one with windows7 i connect a wlan card to the ubuntu pc and connect to my wireless network and internet is too slow, in windows with the same wlan card and internet is normal, what can be the Problem? | 19:28 |
DrZaius | ty Pici | 19:28 |
af4qor | Tilda is very nice ^_^ | 19:28 |
Dimensional | Hardware problem form the sound of it. Could also be configuration. Surprisingly, I get the opposite of that problem, but both computers are on the same machine. | 19:29 |
af4qor | the context is im writing a bash script to load instead of the default shell with an option to run the terminal. | 19:29 |
DrZaius | af4qor: it is... but development is discontinued :/ actually a guy took over a month ago... and its fixing bugs again after 5+ years :D | 19:29 |
af4qor | DrZaius, orly i didnt know that ty | 19:30 |
backbox | I have extra laptop with built-in wifi a usb wifi adapter and a router all extra... how can I use these to make my laptop into a dedicated wifi repeater? | 19:30 |
DrZaius | af4qor: what do you want to accomplish when you open tilda | 19:31 |
N105 | hello i have to desktop one with ubuntu and one with windows7 i connect a wlan card to the ubuntu pc and connect to my wireless network and internet is too slow, in windows with the same wlan card and internet is normal, what can be the Problem? | 19:31 |
Dimensional | N105: Hardware problem form the sound of it. Could also be configuration. Surprisingly, I get the opposite of that problem, but both systems are on the same machine. | 19:31 |
backbox | oooo looks like it's wifi network question day lol | 19:32 |
af4qor | Just some options to save time, like pyradio, transmission, etc | 19:32 |
DrZaius | N105: ping www.google.com and ctrl-c after a while... look for packages loss after that | 19:32 |
af4qor | also it looks cool ^-^ | 19:32 |
cirwin | is there something like top that can show me memory bandwidth utilization? | 19:33 |
DrZaius | af4qor: you want to start programs after you log into ubuntu? you dont need/cant/shouldnt do that from tilda | 19:34 |
Dimensional | I have my own question, but it's directed more towards the developers of Ubuntu. Possibly an idea for them to use. | 19:34 |
N105 | DrZaius: all packages are lose now, but some time i get some package back | 19:34 |
N105 | i don't understand this Problem :D | 19:35 |
Dimensional | Hmm. | 19:35 |
backbox | looking to make my laptop into a dedicated wifi repeater, have extra router and usb adapter... anyone game to help? | 19:35 |
N105 | i have installed wicd i still have the same Problem | 19:35 |
Dimensional | What is the distance from your router? | 19:35 |
Dimensional | Distance is a variable. | 19:35 |
N105 | Dimensional: you don't understand the Problem | 19:35 |
=== jgb is now known as Guest80397 | ||
DrZaius | af4qor: to startup services google /etc/init.d/ and startup (actual name of the system), to start gui programs, depends on your window manager... what do you use? | 19:35 |
af4qor | DrZaius, how come? | 19:36 |
mmmbud | hey there is a weird twitter add that appears over windows | 19:36 |
mmmbud | is that built into ubuntu? | 19:36 |
Dimensional | Explain it then, n105? | 19:36 |
N105 | i use the same wireless card the two computer are in the same place | 19:36 |
Dimensional | Oh. So it's the same machine? | 19:36 |
Dimensional | Like a dual-boot setup? | 19:36 |
af4qor | Also no, not when i start/log on. Just when i open a profile in tilda | 19:36 |
N105 | nope two different machine | 19:37 |
Goranek | i guys | 19:37 |
Goranek | hi | 19:37 |
backbox | hi | 19:37 |
Dimensional | You take the card out from each machine and put it in the other when you are going to use it? | 19:37 |
DrZaius | af4qor: well, tilda spanw pseudo-terminals if you look at process tree (with pstree or htop and then press t) you dont want you gui windows spanw from within tilda | 19:37 |
N105 | Dimensional: yes it's a usb wireless card | 19:38 |
Dimensional | Oh. | 19:38 |
FCHMMR | hi, | 19:38 |
Dimensional | That explains most of it. | 19:38 |
N105 | what can be the Problem? | 19:38 |
af4qor | hmm fair enough | 19:38 |
FCHMMR | i was re-directed to #ubuntu-discuss for an issue, | 19:38 |
Dimensional | At least, clears up what I'm understanding | 19:38 |
DrZaius | af4qor: do you autostart tilda? do you launch it after you log-in? | 19:38 |
FCHMMR | but then recommended for brainstorm, | 19:38 |
FCHMMR | i made an account: | 19:38 |
FCHMMR | http://brainstorm.ubuntu.com/idea/30577/ | 19:38 |
FCHMMR | that is my idea | 19:38 |
backbox | N105, that's the confusion not a card an adapter for usb lol | 19:38 |
FCHMMR | tell me what you think :) | 19:38 |
FloodBot1 | FCHMMR: Please don't flood; use http://paste.ubuntu.com to paste; don't use Enter as punctuation. | 19:38 |
af4qor | Its not set to autostart i launch it when needed | 19:38 |
Dimensional | USB wireless adapter, not card. | 19:39 |
N105 | backbox okay sorry i'm not american ;) | 19:39 |
Dimensional | ok | 19:39 |
DrZaius | af4qor: tilda is supposed to be running all the time, then you hide/show it with the hotkey | 19:39 |
af4qor | also what is the command to open a new terminal, thats been intriguing me external to this script | 19:39 |
N105 | know you understand the Problem, do you have any idea what's the cause of this Problem? | 19:39 |
DrZaius | you are only supposed to start tilda once... autostart when you login if you dont want to complicate | 19:40 |
Dimensional | How are both the same distance from the wireless router when you are moving the adapter around? | 19:40 |
backbox | N105, have you tried alternate (non-free) drivers? | 19:40 |
af4qor | Ik but i dont like having things run in background, we digress my question was about bash commands | 19:40 |
prashant_123456 | not able to copy data to my removable drive | 19:40 |
DrZaius | when do you want your programs to start? when you show tilda? you will want them when you login into ubuntu, dont you? | 19:40 |
backbox | looking to make my laptop into a dedicated wifi repeater, have extra router and usb adapter... anyone game to help? | 19:40 |
DrZaius | af4qor: or do you wnat them to start/stop at will within a session? | 19:41 |

Dimensional | Test failed Josh. :P | 19:41 |
DrZaius | af4qor: can i see your script to figure it out what are you after? paste.ubuntu.com | 19:41 |
N105 | my usb adapter is alpha awus036h | 19:41 |
=== hunter is now known as Guest14963 | ||
af4qor | kk 1 sec | 19:42 |
backbox | in you'r menue there is an app for finding alternate drivers... also you can use the windows driver that came with it on cd ... if one did | 19:42 |
josh____ | test | 19:42 |
Dimensional | I think Josh____ was being a bot or something. | 19:43 |
KeyboardNotFound | In ubuntu packages codeblocks last version is 10.05, but newest codeblocks version is 12.11, can i update codeblocks to newest version but using ubuntu packages ? | 19:43 |
N105 | backbox:Dimensional are you sure that's only a driver Problem? | 19:43 |
N105 | because i'm sure i use the right driver | 19:43 |
backbox | on my menu it's in settings as 'Additional Drivers' | 19:43 |
marsfligth | How to keep the monitor always on? I tried to adjust the 'power' and 'brightness' from 'system settings' but after 5 mins it blanks the screen | 19:44 |
backbox | so... sometimes alternatave drivers work better | 19:44 |
theadmin | Well, so I decided to give Unity a whirl and it's awesome, just one problem. The clock displays time in two locations, "Moscow" (the actual timezone) and "Volgograd". I have no idea how to get rid of the second one, it ain't in the other locations list. | 19:44 |
theadmin | marsfligth: Could be the screensaver | 19:44 |
Dimensional | N105, the free drivers you'd most likely be using have limitations. They aren't perfect. If there are drivers that came straight from the manufacturer that Ubuntu can use, then you'll find that it might work better. | 19:44 |
Dimensional | sometimes. | 19:44 |
backbox | that's all I'm saying... cuz you said it works just not as fast as it does in windows right? | 19:44 |
intrader | My laptop is overheating (pSensor(temp2)>97C and shuts down while displaying video . The laptop is a lenovo t61 - same video on XP with same browser (firefox) does not overheat. | 19:45 |
af4qor | i started it literally 1 minute ago during our conversation so its not complete http://paste.ubuntu.com/5556086/ | 19:45 |
N105 | backbox right | 19:45 |
Dimensional | Another problem could involve things around the machines. Something could interfere with the signal. That and the way the adapter is positioned, relative to the router. | 19:45 |
backbox | than what Dimensional said... 'N105, the free drivers you'd most likely be using have limitations. They aren't perfect. If there are drivers that came straight from the manufacturer that Ubuntu can use, then you'll find that it might work better" | 19:45 |
marsfligth | theadmin: I removed the sceensaver from the 'startup applications' should be this the reason? | 19:46 |
KeyboardNotFound | In ubuntu packages codeblocks last version is 10.05, but newest codeblocks version is 12.11, can i update codeblocks to newest version but using ubuntu packages ? | 19:46 |
N105 | okay thanks guys i will try the additional drivers and i will be back after that thanks a lot guys | 19:46 |
N105 | for your help | 19:46 |
backbox | it's worth a shot | 19:46 |

Dimensional | Last time I checked, not really possible without having 2 wireless adapters. | 19:47 |
marsfligth | theadmin: I try to restore it and I reboot, if it woks I'll give you notice. Thanks | 19:47 |
backbox | Dimensional, is that a maybe | 19:47 |
Dimensional | I checked 3 months ago. | 19:47 |
Dimensional | 1 adapter to be the access point, the other to connect to the real access point | 19:48 |
backbox | I have and adapter and a router | 19:48 |
Dimensional | When I tried configuring my wifi adapter, I couldn't make it be both an access point and connect to an access point. | 19:48 |
backbox | I think it could work... | 19:48 |
Dimensional | You have a router that you laptop connects to? | 19:48 |
Dimensional | the router connects to the internet? | 19:48 |
DrZaius | af4qor: well... the best solution is to add functions to shell itself... really. with nohup to detach it from the shell | 19:49 |
backbox | I can extend the range by forwarding my connection but it's on a different ssid | 19:49 |
DrZaius | af4qor: i understand your cool idea, but it doesnt make much sense | 19:49 |
Villevicious | I was installin lubuntu 12.10 on my new netbook and ran into a problem. instead of launching the gui it sends me to a commandline enviroment. any ideas on how to find out whats wrong? | 19:50 |
Dimensional | backbox, if you're connecting to your router wirelessly, then no, you can't use your laptop as a repeater without having a second adapter. | 19:50 |
josh____ | Test | 19:50 |
backbox | i want to run a lan site on my server as a home-brewed media server | 19:50 |

josh____ | test | 19:50 |
Dimensional | Backbox, if you are connected to the router, to the internet, thorugh a wired connection, then yes, you can make your laptop a repeater by bridging a wireless signal through it. | 19:50 |

JaySwizzle | That was driving me mad. | 19:52 |
JaySwizzle | sure | 19:52 |
mrHat | ok, so i enabled quotas on the /home directory so i can manager user space... here is fstab : http://imagebin.org/247760 but when i do repquota /home i get http://imagebin.org/247761 .. wtf is doing bind, www-data and some other doing in the report ?? i hate setting up quotas damn it... | 19:52 |

JaySwizzle | cakeboss: I am actually wanting to try and learn, beginners got to start some where though | 19:53 |
* Dimensional doesn't know how to help you, backbox. | 19:53 | |
backbox | and auto connections get confused and jump around | 19:53 |
cakeboss | JaySwizzle: right, start with something you can manage...like something with a gui | 19:53 |
Dimensional | I made a client bridge with 2 routers, one that was connected to the other. | 19:53 |
cakeboss | Just because you were a guy fawkes mask doesn't mean you can computer. | 19:53 |
Dimensional | backbox, just don't try it then. It's just going to cuase more harm than good. | 19:54 |
cakeboss | wear* | 19:54 |
JaySwizzle | What would you suggest I try first then? | 19:54 |
cakeboss | JaySwizzle: Try xchat or mIRC | 19:54 |
Dimensional | JaySwizzle: It's a good idea to get another client. I recommend KVIrc, because it has a GUI, and not hard to configure. | 19:54 |
Dimensional | And it's opensource | 19:54 |
cakeboss | JaySwizzle: you can make scripts in both of them. Then graduate to big boy programs like irssi | 19:54 |
Dimensional | completely free. | 19:54 |
JaySwizzle | Alright i'll check those out, thanks! | 19:54 |

quick- | hi guys can i install ubuntu on a windows 8 based pc ? i had heard that coz of UEFI it wasnt possible . Please help | 19:55 |
lesshaste | holstein, no.. in another directory | 19:55 |
mrHat | ok, so i enabled quotas on the /home directory so i can manager user space... here is fstab : http://imagebin.org/247760 but when i do repquota /home i get http://imagebin.org/247761 .. wtf is doing bind, www-data and some other doing in the report ?? i hate setting up quotas damn it... | 19:55 |
Dimensional | backbox, it requires installing bridging software and the works. | 19:55 |
holstein | lesshaste: i would just specify where it is then | 19:55 |
mrHat | this is the second time im pasting the question | 19:56 |
Dimensional | Quick-, it's possible. Read up on Grub2 and UEFI | 19:56 |
bean | mrHat, its likely that it just looks at ~all~ users on the box. | 19:56 |
c0d3_f0r_fUn | Quantal! | 19:56 |
backbox | it would be worth the hastle for me... this would be a deticated repeater so i would set it up and leave it | 19:56 |
mrHat | bean but i have only enabled quotas on /home | 19:56 |
cakeboss | lol | 19:56 |
mrHat | how is that possible | 19:56 |
lesshaste | holstein, how do you do that in rygel? | 19:57 |
Villevicious | I was installin lubuntu 12.10 on my new netbook and ran into a problem. instead of launching the gui it sends me to a commandline enviroment. any ideas on how to find out whats wrong? | 19:57 |
bean | mrHat, because it doesn't care about what directory / mount point its enabled on. It will report for ALL USERS likely | 19:57 |
quick- | Dimensional: You sure about that ? | 19:57 |
backbox | dd-wrt isn't an optio either... doesn't support my routers | 19:57 |

mrHat | bean it kind of makes me wonder if quotas are only indeed setup for the /home and not / | 19:59 |

apb1963_ | jrib; is the application relevant to the answer to the question? | 21:02 |
Brasileiro | iiiiiiiuipo | 21:02 |
jrib | apb1963_: yes, because that file should never be edited directly. Applications generally use the directories in /etc/cron.* to install cronjobs | 21:02 |
lunitik | null_radix: Unity is a plugin for Compiz, so just install something else and choose that when you're logging in... usually it is just a case of using --replace but that isn't valid here. | 21:02 |

hfic | Hi All, I've got a question about vsftpd. service vsftpd restart says it restarted and gives me a pid, but ps -ef doesn't show ftp running. dmesg says 'vsftpd respawning too fast, stopped' | 21:22 |
pkexec-nopass-pl | i dont want write password everytime for install package with synaptic | 21:23 |
wiggmpk | pkexec-nopass-pl: you have to.. | 21:23 |
pkexec-nopass-pl | ok | 21:24 |
Quest | I have windows 7 and ubuntu 12.(the latest). what is the easiest way to delete the windows 7 entry from the boot loader (grub) and make it appear to a new user that the computer only has ubuntu installed ? | 21:24 |
moon` | is there a way to enable system updates without rebooting. Like ksplice or something? | 21:24 |
moon` | quest edit the bootloader and remove the windows entry? | 21:24 |
wiggmpk | pkexec-nopass-pl: installing a package requires root, gained by using "sudo", prompting for a password is for security | 21:24 |
Quest | moon` yes i think. how to do that? | 21:24 |
wiggmpk | skorasaurus2: have you tried changing your password via your router? | 21:24 |
moon` | Quest: I don't know let me google it, I haven't had to do it since I used gentoo | 21:25 |
pkexec-nopass-pl | but its not matter for me. wiggmpk | 21:25 |
skorasaurus | wiggmpk: i have not yet. | 21:25 |
skorasaurus | changed my router password. | 21:25 |
Quest | moon` ok | 21:25 |
skorasaurus | at least in several months. | 21:25 |
wiggmpk | skorasaurus2: not your router password, the wifi password | 21:25 |
pkexec-nopass-pl | i can do it with sudo. but i cant with pkexec | 21:25 |
skorasaurus | yes, that I haven't also changed in several months | 21:25 |
moon` | Quest: http://askubuntu.com/questions/100232/how-do-i-change-the-grub-boot-order | 21:26 |
moon` | I didn't read the page, read through that and see if it helps | 21:26 |
pkexec-nopass-pl | is "gksudo synaptic" same wsynaptic-pkexec" | 21:26 |
wiggmpk | skorasaurus2: are you using any custom firmware or anything like Tomato or DD-WRT? | 21:26 |
MonkeyDust | !find pkexec | 21:26 |
ubottu | File pkexec found in gnome-system-log, gparted, policykit-1, policykit-1-doc, synaptic | 21:26 |
skorasaurus | wiggmpk: no. | 21:26 |
Quest | moon` let me see | 21:26 |
skorasaurus | I don't belive so. | 21:26 |
wiggmpk | pkexec-nopass-pl: if it requires root privileges it will prompt you for a password man.. im not familiar with what your doing, but it sounds like you need to escalate your privileges to do it. | 21:27 |
wiggmpk | skorasaurus2: try just changing your password.. or changing the encryption to WEP.. or a combination of both, just to enure that you can still associate with the router.. | 21:27 |
skorasaurus | last packages i updated - http://pastebin.ca/2316704 | 21:27 |

wiggmpk | pkexec-nopass-pl: I just googled pkexec and its a graphical front end for PolicyKit, just taking a guess that it requires root =P, Ubuntu is very user friendly btw | 21:31 |
moon` | is there a way to enable system updates without rebooting. Like ksplice or something? | 21:31 |
bastarden | hello...anyone knows what is the default root password for lubuntu 12.10 live cd? | 21:32 |
MonkeyDust | bastarden there is no root password | 21:33 |
bastarden | well there is...when i try to su it requires a password | 21:33 |
wiggmpk | !root | bastarden | 21:33 |
ubottu | bastarden: Do not try to guess the root password, that is impossible. Instead, realise the truth... there is no root password. Then you will see that it is 'sudo' that grants you access and not the root password. Look at https://help.ubuntu.com/community/RootSudo | 21:33 |
bastarden | blank password or root/lubuntu doesn`t work | 21:33 |
MonkeyDust | bastarden that's your own password | 21:33 |
wiggmpk | bastarden: by default the root account is locked.. therefore it has no password | 21:33 |
bastarden | sudo apt-get....worked without password...thanks for the heads up | 21:34 |
mussa_ | مرحبا | 21:34 |
r_a_f | mussa_: i love u :) | 21:35 |
Hyuristyle | skorasaurus2: if my problem is the same that your, i think there's no relation with updates | 21:35 |
wiggmpk | bastarden: if you already authenticated "sudo" in the same terminal, it wont prompt you again for some time, or if the screen is locked, or if you open a different terminal | 21:35 |
randomuser33 | hey guys, does the newest version of ubuntu have the memtest86 still built into the grub boot screen?\ | 21:36 |
bastarden | got it...thanks | 21:36 |
skorasaurus2 | sigh. | 21:36 |
wiggmpk | skorasaurus2: did you try changing the encryption type and/or password? | 21:36 |
skorasaurus2 | changed my password on my wifi | 21:36 |
wiggmpk | skorasaurus2: same result? | 21:36 |
Hyuristyle | skorasaurus2: i am having the problem both in Ubuntu and Lubuntu. Lubuntu is updated and Ubuntu is very outdated | 21:36 |
MonkeyDust | randomuser33 yes, there's a memtest | 21:36 |
skorasaurus2 | network and it's now working. | 21:36 |
skorasaurus2 | thanks for the help wiggmpk. | 21:37 |
wiggmpk | skorasaurus2: so just changing the WiFi password worked? | 21:37 |
randomuser33 | MonkeyDust, ah for some reason I didn't see it. | 21:37 |
skorasaurus2 | and i changed to wpa2 personal | 21:37 |
skorasaurus2 | from wpa1. | 21:37 |
skorasaurus2 | i didn't try only changing the password. | 21:37 |
skorasaurus2 | or only wp2. | 21:37 |
wiggmpk | skorasaurus2: cool, still doesnt really answer your issue, but works around it.. I've given up on wireless encryption myself | 21:37 |
skorasaurus2 | it's been a pain for me over the years on ubuntu (With different computers) | 21:38 |
skorasaurus2 | i had mine unencrypted until neighbors started using my connection way too much | 21:38 |
wiggmpk | skorasaurus2: WPA2 is better anyway, I use MAC address filtering and disable the broadcast | 21:38 |

DaemonicApathy | Is there a known reason for the manufacturer splash screen not showing on boot after upgrading Ubuntu 12.04.2 to use the 3.5.0-25-generic kernel? My laptop was trying to boot to an empty ODD, with no initial splash, before I booted into a 12.04.1 disc and restarted. Now the manufacturer screen is just skipped upon booting, this time to the SSD. | 22:07 |

wiggmpk | DaemonicApathy: unlikely an issue with CMOS, does your computer frequently loose its time? | 22:13 |

wiggmpk | DaemonicApathy: this is a branded machine? originally with Windows 8? or later? | 22:15 |
NoiseEee | hi, I'm running a server edition (10.04).... should I be rebooting when there are new kernel/linuxheader updates? i don't get prompted to (ie: the machine doesnt say "Reboot Required" when I ssh into it) | 22:15 |
wiggmpk | NoiseEee: if you want to use the new kernel, then yes you would have to reboot | 22:15 |
guntbert | !text | Davor | 22:15 |
ubottu | Davor: To start your system in text-only mode append 'text' (without the quotes) to the kernel line in the grub menu. You can access the grub menu by pressing Esc (Grub legacy) or Shift (Grub2) during boot. For more info see https://help.ubuntu.com/community/BootOptions#Text%20Mode | 22:15 |
NoiseEee | wiggmpk: thanks. | 22:15 |
DaemonicApathy | wiggmpk: Toshiba, originally with Windows 7, using a different hard drive for several months now. | 22:15 |
darent | well, if you don't reboot, what's the point on upgrading the kernel? | 22:15 |
Davor | thanks guntbert | 22:15 |
NoiseEee | darent: beats me, i just do all the updates. | 22:16 |
NoiseEee | darent: i just find it weird that most of my ubuntu boxes say 'reboot required' when i ssh in after such an update; this one never does | 22:16 |
guntbert | Davor: You're welcome | 22:16 |
wiggmpk | DaemonicApathy: double check your BIOS settings to see if you or something disabled the splash screen.. do you see anything when the power is turned on? like a verbose mode? | 22:16 |
darent | NoiseEee: don't know, in theory it should ask you for a reboot, but i've never installed server... | 22:17 |
DaemonicApathy | wiggmpk: Nothing - can't access the BIOS settings, no keypresses result in anything before the OS boots. | 22:17 |
wiggmpk | DaemonicApathy: laptop? | 22:17 |
DaemonicApathy | wiggmpk: Yes. | 22:17 |
wiggmpk | DaemonicApathy: disconnect the power and battery for like 30mins.. something may be fouled up.. do you have a reset button on the bottom somewhere? | 22:17 |
=== toordog_ is now known as toordog | ||
DaemonicApathy | wiggmpk: No reset button. I tried a hard reset a couple times. I may just let it sit and drain for awhile tonight. For the moment, though, it seems fine other than the lack of splash and BIOS options. | 22:19 |
=== _Bauer is now known as Bauer1 | ||
wiggmpk | DaemonicApathy: another theory, your display may not be getting a signal quick enough for you to see the splash screen (or the options to get into the BIOS) | 22:19 |
wiggmpk | DaemonicApathy: try to power down (not restart, turn off) then as soon as you hit the power button start hammering F2 or whatever your BIOS option was | 22:19 |
skywell | Just push esc if that doesn't bring you to bios restart and try f2, if that doesnt work reboot and try f8 | 22:19 |
DaemonicApathy | wiggmpk: That's exactly what I was doing. | 22:19 |
skywell | And I mean hammering. | 22:20 |
wiggmpk | skywell: i've never seen F8 be an option for BIOS | 22:20 |
kingbeast | DaemonicApathy, F12 should be the bios key, try repeated taps after hitting the power button | 22:20 |
DaemonicApathy | skywell: Luckily, I've known my BIOS keys for quite a while now. I doubt they would change. | 22:20 |
skywell | wiggmpk: My iBuyPower, gigabyte motherboard, has the f8. Same issue. My screen doesn't activate fast enough to see the bios so I had to brute fN force it | 22:20 |
wiggmpk | skywell: you built your machine? | 22:21 |
skywell | DaemonicApathy: I came in kind of late and didn't understand your problem but spewed a random solution so my bad :) | 22:21 |
skywell | wiggmpk: no | 22:21 |
skywell | wiggmpk: I bought it from iBuyPower | 22:21 |
DaemonicApathy | Anyway, thanks guys. I'll play around with it. It was just an unwecome surprise after work. | 22:21 |
wiggmpk | skywell: most vendors dont use F8 since thats the key for the advanced boot menu for Windows | 22:21 |
wiggmpk | DaemonicApathy: only thing I can tell you is call the manufacturer and dont tell them your using Linux lol | 22:22 |
sx2 | Hey I'm a linux newbie and just downloaded a program (Celtx) and wondered if sticking the whole folder in /usr/bin would allow me to boot it from the terminal like preinstall software or software install from the package manager(s). | 22:22 |
skywell | But windows isn't listening until after bios anyway so lol. | 22:22 |
DaemonicApathy | wiggmpk: Ikr? ;-) | 22:22 |
wiggmpk | DaemonicApathy: i know, its a shame | 22:22 |
darent | delete key, on my motherboard | 22:22 |
wiggmpk | skywell: i know, just saying its not typical.. usually F2, F12, Del are the "typical" BIOS keys | 22:22 |
kingbeast | on Toshiba's F2 is boot options, F12 is bios settings | 22:23 |
skywell | Yea, they need to standardize this stuff already. | 22:23 |
skywell | wiggmpk: forgot to tag you last message | 22:23 |
wiggmpk | =) | 22:23 |
wiggmpk | sx2: you would be better off making a script that calls the program, and using a symbolic link in /usr/bin | 22:24 |
wiggmpk | i think | 22:24 |
DaemonicApathy | Times like these, it pays to have some experience working on all major manufacturers' machines...otherwise, I may never have gotten back up, never mind in the 10 minutes it took. | 22:24 |
skywell | sx2: You should just make a ~/bin folder and add it to your environment path in your .cshrc type file on linux. | 22:24 |
DJones | sx2: There are installation instructions on the celtx wiki http://wiki.celtx.com/index.php?title=Installation#For_Linux | 22:25 |
skywell | sx2: I think it is ~/.profile on ubuntu | 22:25 |
sx2 | skywell DJones: Thanks. | 22:26 |
skywell | sx2: sudo echo 'alias celtx="./usr/local/celtx/celtx"' >> .profile | 22:26 |
skywell | Someone smite me if I am wrong lol. | 22:27 |
skywell | sx2: sudo echo 'alias celtx="/usr/local/celtx/celtx"' >> ~/.profile | 22:28 |
escott | skywell, an alias should never be local | 22:28 |
DJones | sx2: I wouldn't normally recommend a ppa, but as celtx isn't in the ubuntu repo's, there is a ppa that might be worth considering https://launchpad.net/~dreamstudio/+archive/video?field.series_filter=quantal | 22:28 |

skywell | escott: Un-noob me, why? | 22:29 |
escott | skywell, im pretty sure if you change the wd it wont follow | 22:30 |
skywell | escott: sorry, wd? | 22:30 |
skywell | working directory | 22:30 |
escott | yes | 22:30 |
skywell | With sudo right? just remove sudo | 22:30 |
newuser | What is the hotkey to open the dash again? | 22:31 |
k1l | super | 22:31 |
newuser | Thanks k1l | 22:31 |
DoWhileGeek | ok so I was derping in gparted, accidentally wiped my boot partition, what do | 22:32 |
Aprosklitos | Hello! im using Ubuntu 12.10 and i have 2 problems, one with networking and one with image quality with nvidia hardware, if anyone can help with any of these problems please tell me. | 22:32 |
skywell | reinstall grub | 22:32 |
wiggmpk | lol grab your ankles and.... | 22:32 |
skywell | DoWhileGeek: | 22:32 |
skywell | DoWhileGeek: http://howtoubuntu.org/how-to-repair-restore-reinstall-grub-2-with-a-ubuntu-live-cd/ | 22:33 |
escott | skywell, sudo doesn't make a difference | 22:34 |
DoWhileGeek | skywell: thanks | 22:34 |
wiggmpk | DoWhileGeek: first I would re-create the /boot partition in gparted if your deleted it altogether, then reinstall grub | 22:34 |
skywell | escott: so what is the danger in assigning alias in a users .profile? | 22:34 |
escott | skywell, also "sudo echo >> ~/.profile does not do what you expect it to do | 22:34 |
escott | skywell, because "echo" runs just fine without root permissions | 22:35 |
petru | Hi. Does anyone know of a tool that allows one to effectively change touchpad sensitivity? I have a Dell Inspiron N5050 and it's way too sensitive, although ubuntu settings are at a minimum. I've already tried gpointing-device-settings, without much success. | 22:35 |
omico | Hello there! I want to compile ultrastar-deluxe from svn, but it doesn't support current libav (libavcodec53)/ffmpeg libs. That's why I need to install an older version, like libavcodec52. What is the best way to do it? Can I e.g. download that older library from http://packages.ubuntu.com/lucid-updates/libavcodec-dev and install it parallel? Maybe into a separate directory and give that path | 22:36 |
omico | to configure? | 22:36 |
omico | I am using 12.10 | 22:36 |
skywell | escott: sudo was a pointless addition but I still don't see a problem in putting an alias in your .profile | 22:36 |
escott | skywell, your initial alias was a relative path not an absolute path | 22:37 |
NetvergentCom_ | If anyone can see if there ubuntu has a directory called /var/lib/gdm if they are running gnome because mind does not and I cannot log into the desktop. | 22:37 |
omico | Or can I install the older ffmpeg 0.10 parallel to libav? | 22:37 |
Aprosklitos | Can anyone help me to setup me network interfaces? i have one wired for LAN purposes only and one wireless for internet and i cannot access the internet without disabling the wired connection. i checked that option on routes menu without luck | 22:38 |
Aprosklitos | please help me | 22:38 |
wiggmpk | Aprosklitos: are the Wired and Wireless connection on the same subnet? | 22:38 |
Aprosklitos | yes 255.255.255.0 | 22:39 |
wiggmpk | Aprosklitos: i meant IP range | 22:39 |
=== p is now known as Guest71669 | ||
wiggmpk | Aprosklitos: like 192.168.#.# | 22:40 |
Aprosklitos | wired is set to manual ip config so i only give it IP and SUBNET, no default gateway or DNS | 22:40 |
* rootpt is back. | 22:40 | |
Guest71669 | hello | 22:40 |
Aprosklitos | ahh! yes, 192.168.1.x | 22:40 |
Aprosklitos | thats the problem? | 22:40 |
wiggmpk | Aprosklitos: what exactly is the practical purpose to dictate which device access's the internet? | 22:40 |
Aprosklitos | one router is 192.168.1.1 and the other 192.168.1.10 | 22:41 |
wiggmpk | Aprosklitos: so you have 2 separate routers handing out IP's in the same network segment? | 22:41 |
RaYmAn | Longshot, I know, but any canonical people around? It appears my ip got blacklisted for access to _any_ *.ubuntu.com site after attempting a repo sync of the ubuntu phablet android sources :/ | 22:41 |
Aprosklitos | i dont want to dictate witch device access the net, i need my computer to be able to use my LAN and internet simutainusly | 22:42 |
Aprosklitos | yes, in windows this setup works correctly because i've set different ip's to the routers, but they're the same rage | 22:42 |
Aprosklitos | also the LAN router has DHCP disabled | 22:43 |
wiggmpk | Aprosklitos: I would assume, (and its a guess) that you would have to create iptables rules to do what your trying to do | 22:43 |
escott | Aprosklitos, http://www.kernel.org/doc/Documentation/networking/bonding.txt | 22:43 |
mussa | i need girl | 22:44 |
Aprosklitos | i've tried this guide: http://log4aj.blogspot.gr/2011/03/using-wired-for-lan-and-wireless-for.html | 22:44 |
wiggmpk | k1! =) | 22:45 |
Aprosklitos | without lucj | 22:45 |
Aprosklitos | luck | 22:45 |
opr | hi chaps how can i make the brightness keys on my laptop turn the brightness down by just 1 level, instead of 2 as it is doing now? | 22:45 |
wiggmpk | Aprosklitos: did you check out escott's link.. I'm not familiar with network bonding, and I cant really wrap my head around what your trying to do | 22:46 |
bartzy | Hello | 22:46 |
bartzy | My secondary drive on my laptop suddenly started not to spin down. | 22:46 |
bartzy | It's not mounted even, not doing anything. | 22:46 |
bartzy | When I try doings | 22:46 |
Aprosklitos | i need to connect to a home lan via wired with a router without internet access | 22:46 |
bartzy | sudo hdparm -S1 /dev/sdb , nothing happens after 5 seconds. | 22:46 |
Aprosklitos | and connect to the internet with my wifi router | 22:46 |
bartzy | Only when I do hdparm -B1 /dev/sdb, that works | 22:46 |
Aprosklitos | simultaneously | 22:46 |
bartzy | But that is very aggresive - Can someone explain how to get the secondary drive to spin down every X minutes ? | 22:47 |
=== santosh is now known as Guest17833 | ||
wiggmpk | Aprosklitos: I understand that part, but the reason why you would want or need to do it | 22:47 |
escott | Aprosklitos, do you want to bridge> | 22:48 |
hfic | he needs ics | 22:48 |
wiggmpk | Aprosklitos: i do think, however, using 2 different routers with the same network segments, is probably not a good idea.. | 22:49 |
Aprosklitos | wiggmpk: because i need to be able to connect to my brothers computer for file sharing and stuff. | 22:49 |
Aprosklitos | it worked fine in windows, can this be a problem for ubuntu? | 22:50 |
skywell | Samba makes it less of a problem | 22:50 |
skywell | I use Ubuntu to access the windows network shares at work | 22:50 |
wiggmpk | skywell: by the information, its 2 completely separate networks.. with completely separate NAT rules | 22:51 |
Aprosklitos | yeah i know that, the problem is i cant have lan and wlan run together and still be able to connect to the internet via wifi :p | 22:51 |
iter | Aprosklitos: set default gateway to wifi router IP, set static route to brother's IP via wired router IP | 22:52 |
Styler2go | Hello Guys. I have an Ubuntu Server with Apache2 and i want to configure subdomains. where can i get help for that? am i correct in here? | 22:52 |
Aprosklitos | wiggmpk: ok im going to change ip range to wired router and see | 22:52 |
Aprosklitos | iter: thats my setup: WLAN: (DHCP) ip: 192.168.1.4 default gateway: 192.168.1.1 dns: 192.168.1.1 ||| WIRED: (manual) ip: 192.168.1.200 router ip: 192.168.1.10 default gateway: none dns: none | 22:54 |
tinker | efnet | 22:55 |
Aprosklitos | im going to enable LAN so i can reconfigure the wired router and ill came back | 22:55 |
Aprosklitos | brb | 22:55 |
iter | Aprosklitos: ok, so you just need to do sudo route add -host 192.168.1.xxx netmask 255.255.255.0 gw 192.168.1.10 eth0 | 22:55 |
iter | Aprosklitos: where xxx is your brother's IP and eth0 is the correct wired interface | 22:55 |
Aprosklitos | iter: what that does? | 22:56 |
Styler2go | no one an idea? | 22:56 |
Aprosklitos | no thats not my problem | 22:56 |
Aprosklitos | i can ping my brother | 22:56 |
Aprosklitos | but when i have both connections active i cant access the internet! | 22:56 |
iter | please re-read what I wrote | 22:56 |
Aprosklitos | i can communicate with both networks but i cant connect to the net | 22:57 |
iter | set default gateway to wifi router IP | 22:57 |
iter | set static route to brother's IP via wired router IP | 22:57 |
Aprosklitos | its already set by dhcp to the wireless interface | 22:57 |
Aprosklitos | wired has no gateway set | 22:57 |
Aprosklitos | what will static route do? | 22:58 |
LazyNoop | Styler2go: look at VirtualHost section of Apache configuration (and setup DNS records) | 22:58 |
iter | tells your pc to look for your brother's IP via the wired router | 22:58 |
iter | default gateway is where your pc looks if it doesn't know the route | 22:59 |
Aprosklitos | but i can already find my brother | 22:59 |
iter | mate, please don't argue with me if you don't know what you are on about | 22:59 |
Aprosklitos | how can i tell my pc to look at wireless for internet access only? | 22:59 |
iter | that would be the default gateway | 22:59 |
Aprosklitos | iter: ok im sorry | 23:00 |
Aprosklitos | wait 2 mins and ill come back. | 23:00 |
Aprosklitos | im ebaling wired now so i will disconnect | 23:00 |
Aprosklitos | enabling* | 23:00 |
iter | don't | 23:00 |
Aprosklitos | am i on? | 23:01 |
iter | yes | 23:01 |
Aprosklitos | ok i diactivated | 23:01 |
Aprosklitos | tell me iter | 23:01 |
iter | default gateway set to wifi router IP, static route to brother's IP via wired router IP with the command above | 23:02 |
escott | Aprosklitos, you keep saying "it doesn't work" without really describing what the network topology is and how you want it to work. you have lots of options including different routing tables, bonding, bridging etc | 23:03 |

InAndOutLand | I want to boot from a sub. But, In oder for usb to be turned on, Windows has to be booted. How do I boot from the USB like this? | 23:12 |
InAndOutLand | ^usb | 23:12 |
escott | InAndOutLand, what kind of broken hardware is that | 23:14 |
InAndOutLand | It's not broken | 23:15 |
InAndOutLand | The usb works. | 23:15 |
InAndOutLand | (usb flash drive) | 23:16 |
tgm4883 | InAndOutLand, apparently not | 23:16 |
tgm4883 | InAndOutLand, did you enable booting from USB in the BIOS? | 23:16 |
InAndOutLand | Yes | 23:16 |
InAndOutLand | It is first in the list | 23:16 |
tgm4883 | InAndOutLand, what do you mean by "In oder for usb to be turned on, Windows has to be booted." | 23:16 |
InAndOutLand | If Windows is not booted, the usb flash drive won't be turned on | 23:17 |
tgm4883 | InAndOutLand, yea, that doesn't make a whole lot of sense. Why would your USB power be controlled by windows | 23:18 |
InAndOutLand | How can I boot from the usb in this suitation? | 23:18 |
escott | InAndOutLand, and it powers off on hot reboot? | 23:19 |
InAndOutLand | What is hot reboot? | 23:19 |
escott | InAndOutLand, don't power off | 23:20 |
InAndOutLand | don't power off what? | 23:20 |
escott | InAndOutLand, reboot but dont power off | 23:21 |
tgm4883 | as in, restarting the computer without having to press the power button for it to turn back on | 23:21 |
InAndOutLand | Trying that out | 23:22 |
InAndOutLand | It's taking so long to reboot from Windows.. | 23:23 |
InAndOutLand | Still not at the shut down screen | 23:23 |
tgm4883 | InAndOutLand, what kind of computer is this | 23:23 |
InAndOutLand | Windows dosen't want to restart | 23:24 |
InAndOutLand | I even tried shutdown -r -t 0 | 23:25 |
InAndOutLand | That did not do anything... | 23:25 |
hfic | What does windows have to do with ubuntu support? | 23:27 |
tgm4883 | InAndOutLand, what kind of computer is this | 23:27 |
InAndOutLand | HP | 23:27 |
tgm4883 | HP what? | 23:27 |
InAndOutLand | HP comoaq | 23:28 |
tgm4883 | ... | 23:28 |
ephesius | he wants the model number not just the brand | 23:28 |
sirstan2 | How can I get details about a SSL key on my server? .. like an apache .key file | 23:28 |
hfic | <sirstan2> do you own this SSL key? | 23:29 |
InAndOutLand | MsInfo32 is not opening..... | 23:30 |
InAndOutLand | Oh, there it is | 23:30 |
sirstan2 | hfic: irrelevant. i have the public and private keys and want to get the details from them as you would from a browser. | 23:30 |
k1l | InAndOutLand: is this a ubuntu support issue? | 23:30 |
tgm4883 | k1l, he's trying to boot from USB, but says it won't turn USB on unless windows boots | 23:30 |
evilfix | hello all.. i followed the guide at http://paulkeck.com/ssh/ however when i try to ssh to the other machine, it asks me to type the passphrase and then the regular password. i thought this was supposed to stop that not add another layer? | 23:31 |
InAndOutLand | It is an HP dc7100 | 23:31 |
InAndOutLand | (Compaq) | 23:31 |
k1l | InAndOutLand: you need to look up the key to get a bootmedium choose | 23:31 |
hfic | <sirstan2> well apache support isn't here in #ubuntu and if you own the key or not is completely relevant. | 23:31 |
sirstan2 | hfic: its an openssl key pair, apache was a use example. | 23:32 |
InAndOutLand | What does that mean? | 23:32 |
InAndOutLand | (k11) | 23:32 |
tgm4883 | hfic, I'm unsure how it is relevant | 23:32 |
k1l | InAndOutLand: there is a key to press after the powerbutton to get a choice what to boot. just look into the manual from the laptop | 23:32 |
InAndOutLand | It's not a laptop | 23:33 |
evilfix | how can i get ssh key sharing to work between 2 linux machines? i followed the guide at http://paulkeck.com/ssh/ the key is created and scp over to each other machine but still asks for phrase and pass | 23:33 |

fishtech | Hello! Hoping to get some help. My usb jumpdrive will load for a sec and disappear. Never come or load up. How can I fix this? | 23:35 |
k1l | InAndOutLand: just shut it down. if that is a problem ask the windows support what to do | 23:36 |
evilfix | if i remove id_dsa and id_dsa.pub from my .ssh/ will it at least stop asking me for a phrase and password? | 23:36 |
InAndOutLand | escoot told me to reboot | 23:37 |
evilfix | nm just figurred it out | 23:38 |
evilfix | ssh-agent sh -c 'ssh-add < /dev/null && bash' | 23:38 |
smikims | I've seen a lot of people on /r/unixporn use a program that displays some basic system info and an ascii art logo when they take a screenshot. Any idea what it is? | 23:40 |
jrib | smikims: probably "archey" | 23:40 |
azathoth_ | yeah, that would be archey | 23:41 |
azathoth_ | or there's alis too I believe | 23:41 |

bombard | running bash commands for a couple hours with no luck | 23:46 |
evilfix | could it be .profile? | 23:46 |
jrib | evilfix: what's the issue? Create one if you don't have one for whatever reason. By default an account will have one though (as long as it was created in a "nice" way). The default one is copied from /etc/skel/.bashrc | 23:46 |
jrib | evilfix: what do you actually want to accomplish? | 23:47 |
nwertman | Quick question. I have a MacBook Air that will not boot any of the USB drives I have (firmware issue). I've installed rEFIt and done a 'dd' to install the LiveCD onto a 2 gig partition that I have. When I boot from there, I'm told 'isolinux.bin missing or corrupt' | 23:47 |
evilfix | add an alias that wont disappear on logout | 23:47 |
nwertman | I've double checked the MD5 of the download and it checks out. This is 12.10. Any suggestions? | 23:47 |
jrib | evilfix: you can put it in ~/.bashrc | 23:47 |
SonikkuAmerica | nwertman: What version of OS X? | 23:48 |
nwertman | 10.7 | 23:48 |
SonikkuAmerica | Lion | 23:48 |
evilfix | i did a locate .bashrc and 4 found, best one looks like /etc/bash.bashrc should i copy and modify it or create new? | 23:48 |
jrib | evilfix: no. Read what I've told you | 23:49 |
evilfix | alright ill create the file then | 23:49 |
SonikkuAmerica | nwertman: Have you tried Unetbootin? | 23:49 |
nwertman | That was where I was going next, but it seems to hang. | 23:49 |
nwertman | I think I will do the software updates to 10.7.x (the latest) and try again | 23:50 |
bombard | can someone help me install ddo through winewq? | 23:50 |
bombard | winehq? | 23:50 |
SonikkuAmerica | nwertman: Good idea. | 23:50 |
SonikkuAmerica | bombard: Did you check in #wine first? | 23:50 |
bombard | sonikkuamerica: im there fishing for a response | 23:51 |

InAndOutLand | Boot from the usb | 23:53 |
SonikkuAmerica | bombard: I pulled it up, looks like Gold. | 23:53 |
k1l | InAndOutLand: then set "boot usb" to first priority in the bios | 23:53 |
wiggmpk | InAndOutLand: if your running Windows XP your computer might not be "new" enough to support booting from USB devices | 23:53 |
k1l | well that is the first one to get information from the manual of that mainboard. | 23:54 |
InAndOutLand | It does | 23:54 |
InAndOutLand | I used Unetbootin to put Ubuntu on the usb | 23:54 |
Jeruvy | InAndOutLand, does your BIOS have a boot selection menu? | 23:55 |
k1l | InAndOutLand: then change the boot order to usb first | 23:55 |
InAndOutLand | Yes | 23:55 |
Jeruvy | InAndOutLand can you select it that way? | 23:55 |
InAndOutLand | I did select USB device, but it booted me in to Windows XP. | 23:55 |
Jeruvy | InAndOutLand, how did you make your USB? | 23:56 |
