[00:00] ^without 3 [00:00] InAndOutLand: so you are sure the the .iso you did download is ok? [00:00] Yes. [00:01] xchat kinda broke there [00:02] (xchat 2 [00:02] InAndOutLand_1: you need to test this usb on another pc or laptop to make sure that usb isnt the problem [00:02] so we can focus on that pc (if that is the problem) [00:02] I don't really have any other pcs to test on... [00:03] yolo [00:04] What do I do in this case? [00:05] Any body? [00:06] InAndOutLand_1: you could re-download the image, re-create the bootable USB... OR you can burn the image to a CD/DVD and boot it that way [00:06] Greetings I have an issue that after a recent update, my computer name is no longer accessible via other computers, however I can connect via the computer's IP address...is this a DNS issue? If so how do I fix that? [00:07] kkathman: are all your computers local? connected to a router that supports DNS? [00:07] wiggmpk: Yes all connected to the same router in fact, and wired (not wireless) [00:08] kkathman: does the router have built-in DNS? === IboS_ is now known as IboS [00:08] wiggmpk: That I am not sure of [00:08] kkathman: did your local IP address change since the update? [00:09] wiggmpk: Possibly, yes. I'm on Verizon Fios and we had an outage so its possible that the incoming PPoE IP changed [00:09] kkathman: your "local" ip to the machine your trying to resolve by hostname [00:10] my computer does not habe a dvd drive for 12.10. What do I do? [00:10] ^My [00:10] wiggmpk: yes that's correct...local IP is 192.168.1.14 [00:10] hey everyone. Am on lubuntu but want to know if my graphics card are working. [00:11] glxinfo and glxgears gimme some outputs but I see "no proprietery drivers installed". How do i proceed to check and sort this issue ? [00:11] kkathman: and your using DHCP? [00:11] wiggmpk: Yes I am...I have my admin panel up on the router if that helps things [00:12] kkathman: are you trying to resolve the linux machine by hostname from other computers? or are you trying to resolve other computers by hostname FROM the linux machine? [00:12] wiggmpk: The router identifies the hostname by the way [00:13] wiggmpk: I am trying to connect via smb from my Mac . In the past I have been able to do this with no problems [00:14] kkathman: is your MAC using the router as it's DNS to resolve the hostnames? [00:15] wiggmpk: I believe it would be yes, since it's connected to the same router [00:15] kkathman: unless you specifically told it to, routers usually pass the ISP's DNS when using DHCP [00:16] wiggmpk: I'm sure I didn't tell it to explicitly, yet the Mac seemed to find it ok [00:17] kkathman: well im not a Mac guru, but you can try adding your router as a DNS server on your Mac [00:17] wiggmpk: OK I [00:18] wiggmpk: OK I will try that. [00:18] kkathman: on my network, I have reserved DHCP address's for my NAS, since I dont use a local DNS I had to add them to /etc/hosts (it should be relatively similar on a Mac) [00:19] how can I use this key http://sysoev.ru/pgp.txt to be able to install from nginx repository? [00:19] wiggmpk: So would I use the internal lan address of 192.168.1.1 as the DNS ? [00:19] kkathman: but with DHCP, your IP can change when the lease expires [00:19] kkathman: thats what I would try [00:19] unless someone else has a better idea [00:19] wiggmpk: Let me try that [00:20] kkathman: wiggmpk: DNS lease can be set to not expire, if you know how to work your router... (what's it's model, I'll help look it up). btw, joined late, what are you tring to achieve? [00:21] sinewalker: the ability to resolve by hostname and not IP (to access samba shares) === kyza14 is now known as KYZA [00:23] samba on the NAS...? okay. NAS is on the router/gateway (192.168.1.1) or elsewhere? What I've seen in this chat is your suggestion to put the IP in /etc/hosts which as you say is fine until the router expire's the NAS' IP lease. What make/model is the router, we may be able to do something more dynamic... or just set the lease to not expire === picca2 is now known as picca [00:23] sinewalker: i was referencing my network.. I use DHCP reservation for my NAS [00:25] okay yes that'll do. what is kkathman's setup ? :) I assume he's trying to connect to his NAS which has some IP 192.168.1.x (but not .1 as that's the router)? [00:25] sinewalker: kkathman said the router recognizes the hostname of the machine. He has a Mac and is trying to access Samba shares FROM the Mac, to (im assuming) a linux box [00:25] oic. thinking [00:26] sinewalker: i suggested adding the router's IP as a DNS server on his Mac [00:26] wiggmpk, does it work via IP? [00:26] wiggmpk: yes, if the router has a DNS feature. most do not though :( [00:26] looking to install precise x64 on my dell inspirone one2205, but the documentation seems to be missing parts. [00:27] hey i was wondering, i know we have wine and steam native to linux now, but has it ever been attempted to get Bootcamp from mac working on linux, essentially mac is similiar to linux, and there bootcamp, is well known for running windows programs [00:27] tgm4883: it's kkathman with the issue, and last I read, kkathman said yes.. but it used to resolve by hostname prior to an update [00:28] nankura: wat [00:28] nankura: that is not what bootcamp does [00:28] Heyo, I'm having a little issue... [00:28] kkathman: are you still there? [00:28] nankura: bootcamp allows you to install the Windows OS on an Intel based Mac [00:28] wiggmpk, kkathman I'm assuming that FQDN work then as well? [00:28] Is there an Ubuntu Phone support channel yet? [00:28] When I type "g++ hello\ world.cpp" I get: hello world.cpp:1:35: fatal error: QtCore/QCoreApplication: No such file or directory [00:28] Can anyone help me? [00:28] oh ok [00:29] so essentially vmware does the same thing? [00:29] nankura: no [00:29] the only problem ive noticed with vmware/virtualbox is 3D support, gmaing on vmware/virtualbox isnt a viable option it seems [00:29] nankura: bootcamp doesnt virtualize anything.. [00:29] ah ok [00:29] i see i see [00:29] nankura: VMWAre is used to emulate running on Operating System [00:29] nankura: thats because its virtual.. its not direct access to the hardware [00:29] Bootcamp is used to run an OS along another [00:29] yea [00:29] ah [00:29] nankura: Bootcamp is an operating system loader. if you are thinking to use Bootcamp on a linux machine to dual-boot windows, no need, Linux has GRUB to do the same. [00:30] alright, thanks for the info [00:30] tgm4883: that I do not know.. kkathman would have to answer that [00:31] wiggmpk, ok, I've got to go (home time), but it sounds like the computer isn't doing NETBIOS. [00:32] tgm4883: would that be the machine trying to resolve the hostname or the machine with the hostname that its trying to resolve? [00:32] nunkura: google 'linux grub windows dual-boot how-to' [00:32] whoops [00:32] wiggmpk, I have a similar issue with my router when I reboot it [00:33] wiggmpk, the machines trying to resolve the name, although I suppose the linux machine would need to register with netbios [00:34] wiggmpk, it's been awhile since I've messed with that though . Good luck [00:34] tgm4883: i hear ya.. thanks [00:37] Hello! i just installed 12.04 on my MacBook Pro dual boot with refit. ii tried to boot to ubuntu by clicking the "tux" icon on refit then the screen goes white with tux in th middlke and freeze there. anyone know what i can do?

[00:39] bombard: have some patience, dont ask your question repeatedly.. if someone knows the answer they will reply. [00:39] sorry about that [00:39] kkathman: assuming you can reach your NAS from the Mac via IP. Probably best bet is as wiggmpk suggested, or edit your Mac's hosts file. on Mac, to edit hosts file do following: 1. Open Terminal 2. type sudo nano /private/etc/hosts 3. edit the file to add a line that reads 192.168.1.x myNAS (change .x and myNAS to suit) [00:42] seta: ensure kernel dev libraries installed to build modules.... i'll google the package names now, standby [00:42] Hello! After re install my Notebook and update my Bios i can't install Ubuntu anymore. Bios has now a UEFI and Legacy mode. I tried to install 12.04 and 12.10 with DVD and USB-Stick but no success! Here a link from my notebook http://www.ubuntu.com/certification/hardware/201203-10678/ [00:43] When I type "g++ hello\ world.cpp" I get "hello world.cpp:1:35: fatal error: QtCore/QCoreApplication: No such file or directory" [00:43] sinewalker, thx [00:43] clemens: is your BIOS set to UEFI or Legacy mode? [00:44] i tried both but nothing worked [00:44] clemens: are you trying to boot Ubuntu or re-install ubuntu? [00:45] seta: start with sudo apt-get install kernel-headers ; this should contain the missing linux version.h [00:45] i try to install it. Just windows 7 64 bit is running know [00:45] seta: this will probably uncover a few more things needed. ATI fglx driver installer usually compiles the kernel module to suit your kernel, so it'll need all the build tools [00:46] build-essential and the kernel-headers are installed already [00:46] clemens: just curious are you trying to install 32bit Ubuntu? [00:47] no the 64 bit version [00:47] clemens: i dont have any experience installing Ubuntu on UEFI/EFI.. but this https://help.ubuntu.com/community/UEFI is worth a read [00:47] seta: hmm, then it's something else :( can you paste the full output then? [00:48] Hello! [00:49] I'm trying to fix my mouse - a logitech m305 - I would like the side-scroll wheels to go fwd/back in Nautilus and Chrome browser. [00:49] i had installed a dual boot with win7 64 bit and ubuntu 12.04 64 bit with grub bootloader but after updating my BIOS and re install my notebook i had no success with ubuntu. Thx i give it a try ;) [00:49] SourceSlayer: libqt4-dev [00:50] trism: Software center said it was installed. [00:51] sinewalker, im afraid there isnt more... may i just downgrade to 12.10 === cantoma is now known as Guest78176 === jduro_ is now known as cantoma [00:51] SourceSlayer: you'll probably need the args from: pkg-config --cflags --libs QtCore; as well [00:52] trism: for g++ [00:52] ? [00:52] SourceSlayer: yup, it needs to add the include path [00:54] seta: sorry mate, i'm stumped. I assume you've read https://help.ubuntu.com/community/BinaryDriverHowto/ATI ? No idea otherwise :( [00:55] sinewalker, yes already read trough that, but still thx [00:56] !* SH perl null 1.1.1.1 3074 5000 [00:56] mlgisbrguy1: I am only a bot, please don't think I'm intelligent :) [00:57] <_JuJuBee> I just upraded to 12.10 and can't get my dhcp server running.

[01:17] but on the desktop I'm typing from it doesn't [01:17] Is the slot clean? [01:17] Yes [01:17] Hmmm [01:17] WBF: that doesnt mean its not bad RAM, otherwise Axelay suggested checking to see if your board supports the upgrade [01:18] Just researched and 1GB is mobo limit ): [01:18] some systems require you to enter bios after a ram upgrade [01:18] Or, your system is not giving it enough Voltage. [01:19] I had that problem with my other desktop [01:19] System would boot up, but would restart randomly [01:19] that is possible too... I should try with a bigger psu... [01:19] but with 2 512 sticks works just fine. [01:19] two* [01:20] WBF: if the motherboard limit is 1GB a bigger PSU wont help [01:20] must be mobo limit :P [01:20] ]True, Check the motherboard limit [01:20] oh well it is 1024MB [01:21] but, I'm getting a high end gaming pc for my birthday :D bulding myself. [01:21] Anyone know of PPA's with more good games? [01:22] WBF go with AMD [01:22] AMD and ATI [01:22] packetfrog, more good games besides steam? [01:22] (does amd work better on linux?? XD) [01:22] Bray90820: why? [01:22] packetfrog: look up playdeb.net [01:22] because nvida is horable with linux [01:22] Thank you. [01:23] :) [01:23] nvidia works fine with my linux [01:23] * packetfrog pets his linux [01:23] Bray90820: why? [01:23] well once I had an AMD laptop. then I was able to run my favorite game at 5FPS with minimum settings XD [01:24] i have had nothing but problems with linux and nvida [01:24] actualy their drivers have been better like for ever [01:24] Bray90820: then why suggest AMD processors ? [01:24] and so has Linus Torvalds http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=_36yNWw_07g [01:24] Bray90820: i've not had an issue with Intel iSeries processors nor nvidia cards [01:24] but i think its gotten better on the ati side since amd took over [01:25] AMD and ATI work really well together [01:25] Bray90820: I made a great install with ubuntu and a NVIDIA, infact I get 50FPS (not lying) (300MB memory on card XD) [01:25] Its just AMD graphics now :P [01:25] AMD and ATI are basically the same company [01:25] ATI as a brand has gone [01:25] Bray90820: they do now, like mgolisch pointed out, they are the same parent company now [01:25] here's one reason to avoid intel cpu's: http://techcrunch.com/2012/09/14/new-intel-chip-wont-support-linux/ [01:25] i had horrible overscan problems that i couldn't fix [01:26] with nvida [01:26] i had to sell the card and go with ATI [01:26] topper4125: thats not a reason to avoid Intel chipsets.. just that particular chip [01:26] I'd love to own the GTX titan though [01:26] well, I do not have to avoid intel, I7 :D [01:27] i have never had much luck with nvida even on the windows side [01:27] Intel have wayyy better IPC than what AMD can make. [01:27] * Dimensional is a little angry at AMD because they don't really support their legacy graphics cards like they say they are. [01:27] * Dimensional isn't able to install their legacy drivers onto his laptop on Ubuntu [01:28] its a good enough reason for me. If they want to tie themselves down to one OS... then I'll keep it in mind when I shop new hardware. [01:28] I'd love an AMD 8350 :\ [01:29] i would never recommend Nvida to anyone [01:29] Why not? [01:29] well, it's your opinion to choose Nvidia or AMD but I'm sticking with NVIDIA until I have issues and I'm typing from a computer with a NVIDIA. [01:29] never had ANY luck with using one [01:29] i had BSOD overscan issues and all sorts of different things [01:30] topper4125: its not Intel's job to make an OS support their chip.. they are a business and unfortunately market control in the desktop/mobile area is still dominated by Windows and Apple.. [01:30] Thats unfortunate. If you get a bad expereince with a brand/make it shows on what you buy next. [01:32] M$ asked intel to make a chip that would work only with Win... least thats the way I heard it on SEVERAL linux podcasts... so While its NOT their job to make a chip work with any particular OS... they did make the decision to agree with one OS to make a chip that won't work with the competition.... They made their choice... i made mine [01:33] * WBF runs to intel store and grabs last I7 [01:33] Just imagine that D: [01:33] topper4125: sorry to hear that, but thats the way of the world.. im sure if there are enough linux users using that chip, it will be supported.. one way or the other [01:34] From what I'm reading, they might support Linux later. It's because of power issues. [01:35] Just because they don't support it doesn't mean it won't work. [01:35] wiggmpk I followed the instructions on playdeb.net on how to add repo to software center but it is not loading them.. [01:36] packetfrog: whats not loading? [01:36] I think playdeb uses it's own client? [01:36] Nothing to be sorry about... AMD is a decent enough processor for my needs (MORE than enough to be honest)... it all boils down to "Buyer Decision"... I'm sure they'll be making "Open" Processors again, and maybe a few generations of processors i'll take a look at them again. [01:37] I added the software sources to softwarecenter then the keys and im browsing the site and clicking install now but software center just says whatevergame not found for anything i try [01:37] Open processors? [01:37] I feel that AMD, with them working closely with Canonical, will start doing that again. [01:37] Can you explain that to me please? [01:37] packetfrog: did you update? open a terminal and type "sudo apt-get update" then try again [01:37] I mean Valva and Canonical. [01:37] Err [01:37] Valve* [01:38] * packetfrog hides his face in shame. [01:38] Never used software center thought it did it. :P [01:38] packetfrog: did it work? [01:38] still loading i have lots of ppas :/ [01:39] Yes it worked! Thanks for pointing out my sillyness :) [01:39] np [01:39] SillyFrog [01:39] And for pointing out the wonderful game ppa :) [01:39] Whats the default username/password for an xubuntu live cd? [01:39] packetfrog: well technically its not a PPA [01:39] uh, root? [01:39] packetfrog: just a repository [01:39] Or live? [01:40] Or User? [01:40] Dimensional: don't just make stuff up : / [01:40] Ben64: do you know? [01:40] * Dimensional never makes stuff up. He did see an elephant in his pajamas. :P [01:40] there is no password on live cd [01:40] Groucho Marx! :P [01:41] Ben64: im promted for a username/passowrd. Do i just use root and emptypassword?

[01:43] WBF: im trying to log into the desktop [01:44] coldpizza72i, do you already have a user account?

[02:18] yeah, I used gnome-fallback, but I still kept lightdm because it looks so damn much better than gdm [02:18] !paste | Physicist [02:18] Physicist: For posting multi-line texts into the channel, please use http://paste.ubuntu.com | To post !screenshots use http://imagebin.org/?page=add | !pastebinit to paste directly from command line | Make sure you give us the URL for your paste - see also the channel topic. [02:18] is it possible to put something in the clipboard via a console command? I would like to be able to do something like: dropbox-publink path/to/file [02:18] i am just installing 12.04 for the first time this guide: https://help.ubuntu.com/community/MacBookPro6-2/Precise#Sensors_.28temps_.26_fans.29 suggests i use a new color profile. but apperently it is dated does any one know if i still should/need to do this. if so how? thx. [02:18] and then have the link in my clipboard so I can paste it [02:18] SonOfGod, install xclip [02:18] that looks promising [02:19] thanks [02:19] is anyone familiar with usb wifi adapters that are fully supported by linux? I have two but neither work with ad hoc [02:21] is anyone else having issues with yahoo's home page with google chrome? running lubuntu on 12.10 just updated [02:23] oldude67: saw smeone mention it yesterday.. [02:24] or waa that you? [02:24] dr_willis, let me get a screen shot of it and ill paste bin it. its like im missing something but dont know what.

[02:27] how do i turn deadbeef on from terminal? [02:28] how can i turn deadbeef on from terminal? [02:29] Riberty: Run the name.. [02:29] it doesnt work [02:29] Physicist, i think you are mistranslating this error message you are seeing [02:29] Riberty: Run the program name - no sudo.

[02:30] Physicist, no... i just dont know what you expect me to do with a portugues screenshot :) [02:30] Physicist, escott: where's the error message? (I speak portuguese) [02:30] dr_willis, http://imagebin.org/247811 [02:31] jrib: http://imagebin.org/247810 [02:32] jrib: I am glad.. [02:32] Physicist: what am I looking for? [02:32] oldude67: and what exactly is missing¿ you do realize you are using the mobile version of the site¿ [02:33] xangua: dident look likee the mobile version i saw on my phone. [02:33] but i just went straight to yahoo,com [02:33] xangua, no, and how do i change it? just installed chrome and thats how it came out. [02:33] The download is stopped. When I press "start" show: não está na lista. [02:33] Physicist, try taking your torrent and putting peers to 200 downloads to max and use a bunch of trackers :3 [02:34] DSL through pppoeconf works but through Network Manager stops some sites from working in all browsers :( [02:34] Physicist, torrent not on list? [02:34] xangua, and its only yahoo. everything else comes up fine. [02:34] I have to manually turn down the webchat page.. So horrific! [02:35] Physicist: I don't actually use ktorrent but I imagine it's trying to say "not queued" (since it also says that in the lower panel). You might try starting the app with LANGUAGE=C LANG=C to avoid translation problems [02:36] Is it a language problem? [02:37] Physicist: it's hindering your support; in that sense it's a problem :) [02:37] DSL through pppoeconf works but through Network Manager stops some sites to load in browsers :( [02:37] jrib: Is it a language problem? I have to change the language to download files? [02:37] Physicist: no? [02:38] i deleted my cache partition for 2 gb ram lubuntu 12.04. lold system intel centrino. will that make it slow ? [02:38] Physicist, no. the application is only partially translated. as a result you might be misreading something and we can't understand what it says. ie a consistent language of english would help us identify what button in the gui you need to click [02:38] jrib: thank you. [02:38] Vivekananda, you mean the swap partition? [02:39] sorry yes [02:39] also have another problem [02:39] Vivekananda, swap is only there to make sure that your programs/computer dont crash when you run out of memory (and for hibernation) [02:39] escott: thank you! [02:40] Vivekananda, not having it won't make you run slower, but it will mean that if you use up your RAM applications will randomly disappear [02:40] ok, i have a question concerning the online accounts [02:41] I am trying to use the guide here to tweak my graphics card https://help.ubuntu.com/community/RadeonDriver. it talks about having na xorg.conf file and so I tried this site for it and got an error http://forum.lxde.org/viewtopic.php?f=3&t=1492. error of broken pipes.

[02:50] hello? [02:53] escott: any help ? [02:53] is really no one that can help repairing the suspend, i need it for my laptop when i close it, f.e. in the library ! [02:54] test [02:54] test [02:54] jrib: My doenload continue in Not Queued. What can I do? [02:55] Vivekananda, with what [02:55] pauser: what problem do you have with suspending? The screen is black on resume from suspend? [02:55] jrib: I did what WBF suggest earlier, but, nothing works.. [02:56] *download* [02:56] brightspark: it does not suspend, just turn the screen black for a few secs and than brings me to login screen ! [02:56] *turns [02:56] dsaewq321 [02:57] with my graphics card install. problem I posted above. Also why is Xorg taking 50 cpu cycles for mem ? [02:57] me ? [02:57] pauser: can you suspend it from the command line? the command is 'pm-suspend'. [02:57] let me give a try [02:58] I really do not want lose it.. My connection is 3G and is horrible... Is 2 days downloading! So much time... [02:58] Vivekananda, i dont really try to tweak graphics cards [02:58] Physicist, why would you lose it? [02:58] escott: 2,5GB Slackware files! [02:59] escott: I want to know what is making my computer sluggish and I was just trying to see if everything was working ok. I dont need to tweak if it was workign ok. How do I find if it is ? [02:59] Physicist, so [02:59] brightspark: no, just the same thing like from the menu ! [02:59] Physicist, its still going to be there tomorrow [03:00] Vivekananda, well check the system monitor [03:00] Vivekananda, but "sluggish" is an incredibly vague descriptor. [03:01] top gives me 50 percent cpu being used by xorg. The mems are fine. By sluggish I mean that it takes time for an app, or for example a workspace switch to respond. Once it does it is pretty fast [03:01] pauser: I don't know what is causing that, I'll see if I can find anything useful and get back to you. [03:01] I am just not sure if my video drivers are working or not. HOw do I check for that ? glxgears ? [03:01] Vivekananda, X uses the CPU when an application requests that it draw something [03:02] if you are running the 10.04LTS from my interpretation of the laws of ubuntu the server version is supported for another year. however if you have the desktop installed as a layer for the server, how does that affect support? [03:02] escott: in the event that the graphics card was not working well enough, the computer would be slow right ? [03:02] I mean if the drivers are incompatible/ less compatible . [03:03] ViVaLaRock, the slow switching sounds like it might be a lack of ram. what is the output of "free -m" [03:03] Hi. I tried to reboot my kubuntu 12.04 server last night, and got "kernel panic-not syncing: VFS: unable to mount root fs on unknown block(0,0)". The only hint I've been able to find is that /boot is full, but that's not the case. /boot is on / and has many GB free. Is there anything else I can try? [03:04] dj_segfault, that is usually indicative of the kernel not being able to find the initramfs [03:04] I'm having a brain fart and I'm hoping that someone can help me out. I can't remember the term for it but it's a screen capture tool except it records video of your desktop. I know there is such a program in the software center but I can't remember... [03:04] Brewster: recordmydesktop [03:04] Brewster: xvidcap? [03:04] THANK YOU [03:04] to ben that is [03:05] sorry dj [03:05] cya [03:05] You can also do it with ffpemg/avcon, which have X11 grab modes [03:05] escott: How do I fix not finding initramfs. I'm booted off of CD now [03:06] Can someone help? I am using my unity to tweak my theme. I get it exactly the way I want, but if I reboot, only some of the settings are saved. An example is, the last time I rebooted my machine, everything stayed the way I had it set except my username and the clock dissapeared. [03:06] I am stalling a new Torrent client.. Everything old erased.. I will download everything again with a new download client: qBittorrent.. curse it! [03:06] dj_segfault: have you tried booting an older kernel? [03:06] can anyone help me? [03:06] Ben64: Yup. Same message [03:06] dj_segfault, it would be strange for that to happen without a change of some kind. try the old kernel [03:07] ktorrent failed here.. [03:08] escott: I'll reboot and try the old kernel again, but it will take me a long time to get back into livecd. Either way, how do I fix it? I'm on my little netbook now so googling is hard [03:08] dj_segfault, without knowing what it is its hard to say [03:09] dj_segfault, so you have to figure out what changed. if the only thing you did was boot the new kernel its probably related to the new kernel [03:09] 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' [03:09] does anyone know how to install video card [03:09] hfic: bad config [03:10] escott: Thanks. I'll try the older kernel, and google initramfs [03:10] install a video card? power off pc.. plug it in... power on pc... [03:10] Guest93702: ##hardware could probably tell you better, but you insert it into the slot on the motherboard [03:10] yes i know all of that but when i do it doesnt have video [03:11] is this an ubuntu problem? [03:11] time to check how you plugged it in.. power conectorss a other cables Guest93702 [03:12] the pcie x12 [03:12] time to move the question to the #hardware channel i imagine Guest93702 [03:13] ok [03:13] Can someone help? I am using my unity to tweak my theme. I get it exactly the way I want, but if I reboot, only some of the settings are saved. An example is, the last time I rebooted my machine, everything stayed the way I had it set except my username and the clock dissapeared. I'm using 12.04 LTS [03:13] how do i see what are the siezes of each dir and its contents inside ~? [03:13] #hardware [03:13] leave [03:13] pauser: you could try the workaround given at http://ubuntuforums.org/showthread.php?p=8531487#post8531487 Other than that, I can't offer any assistance, sorry. [03:13] azizLIGHTS: du [03:14] if you are running the 10.04LTS from my interpretation of the laws of ubuntu the server version is supported for another year. however if you have the desktop installed as a layer for the server, how does that affect support? [03:14] brightspark: ok, thanks ;) [03:14] azizLIGHTS: If you want a graphical tool, there's one called filelight that's really good [03:15] amigamia: the 'support' basically applys to server security updates.. for what they do.. unless you are fering to paid support.. not sure what they do exactly.. i imagine they have a set of packages that they define as supported [03:15] how do i get du to just show the current dir's dir sizes [03:15] instead of every file inside every dir [03:15] azizLIGHTS: now would be a good time to check the du man page. [03:15] azizLIGHTS, 4kB [03:16] azizLIGHTS, on pretty much every filesystem a directory is a single inode and is usually 4kB [03:16] azizLIGHTS: check the man page for du [03:16] i did du -s it only shows me the dir i am inside (current path) [03:16] So was my question not phrased correctly, or should I just not reboot ? LOL [03:17] azizLIGHTS: tell it another directory? [03:17] ... [03:17] azizLIGHTS, if you only want to count files in the current directory and not descend into subdirectories the option you want is "-d" [03:17] hello [03:17] anyone can help with ubuntu ? [03:17] i think i am confused [03:17] azizLIGHTS: "man du" [03:17] yes , am reading it lol [03:17] anyone ? [03:17] you can use the "man" command before just about anything, its very helpful [03:18] onux: replace the flux capacitor [03:18] ben.. [03:18] onux.. [03:18] and 'man -k' to search man pages is cool too [03:18] i look for ubuntu live. cd .iso, around 30MB [03:19] well you won't find it, the live cd iso is about 700MB [03:19] The live install aka minimal install iso [03:19] !minimal [03:19] The Minimal CD image is very small in size, and it downloads most packages from the Internet during installation, allowing you to select only those you want (the installer is like the one on the !Alternate CD). See https://help.ubuntu.com/community/Installation/MinimalCD [03:19] https://help.ubuntu.com/community/Installation/MinimalCD [03:19] ah [03:19] you win [03:20] and GUI around 30MB [03:20] i did it [03:20] thanks [03:20] onux: only disrto i knwo with gui under 30mb is tinycorelinux === dem0n is now known as Guest85905 [03:20] Fluxbox shouldn't be over 30mb I assume [03:21] hello, does any one know why the Ubuntu Installer would not be able to recognize disks? [03:21] dr_willis is it GUI and ubuntu ? [03:22] dr_willis i am kinda confused with your dissertation? [03:22] How do I get System Settings->Color->Calibrate... button ungrayed so I can click it? [03:22] blargg, do you have a color calibrator [03:22] is this minimal cd GUI ? [03:23] onux, no [03:23] escott, no. I take it Ubuntu doesn't have a software-only one like in Mac OS X? [03:23] onux: IDK how big the kernel is but I don't know if you will have a ton of success finding a 30mb linux with gui os [03:23] blargg, how would a software-only one work? [03:23] blargg, there are a number of cheap (linux based) calibrators you can purchase [03:24] ubuntu 30MB GUI live cd .iso [03:24] skywell [03:24] blargg: A color calibrator is a physical device you point at your screen to match the colors to what they should be' [03:24] blargg, http://www.hughski.com/ [03:24] escott, see the website http://www.lagom.nl/lcd-test/gamma_calibration.php for some examples of how software can tease out hardware aspects. Also its sharpness test. [03:24] with less features, [03:24] no problem [03:25] blargg, i believe the option in the menu was probably introduced by the guys who make colorhug, and it probably detects the existence of a hardware calibration device and works with it [03:26] escott, OK, that clears it up. The help page should mention that you need a hardware device, as opposed to needing to install some package to enable the button. [03:26] blargg, thats my suspicion [03:26] hi [03:27] onux: i doubt if there exists a Ubuntu live cd/setup with X thats 30mb.. Tinycore Linuix (not a ubuntu disrto) can do it in about 15mb but thats with a very minimal setup. [03:27] escott, thanks. [03:28] onux: The iso is 28mb. But once you start installing it downloads more data. So if you installation medium is 30mb but your hardrive is larger you can definitely install using the livecd we linked earlier [03:28] I have ubuntu-server, and I'd like to install X [03:28] how can I do this? [03:28] x being x11 or a program of your choice [03:28] around 30MB, it doesnt have to be 30MB. [03:28] I'd like to install X and openbox as the manager [03:28] that was yet to be disclosed [03:28] skywell, there are alternatives to x11? [03:28] 32 bit: http://archive.ubuntu.com/ubuntu/dists/quantal/main/installer-i386/current/images/netboot/mini.iso [03:29] raj: Not that I know of. But I didnt know if you were using X as a wildcard for any program [03:29] i see quantal quetzal might be possible.. [03:29] onux: that is what I linked yea. [03:29] raj: sudo apt-get install thewindowmangeryouwant [03:29] ubottu , ill try [03:29] raj: what dr willis said [03:31] what a bot. [03:31] !bot [03:31] Hi!

[03:36] I ve installed the alx driver, but I cant up eth0 [03:36] yes, skywll, it is not working [03:37] alx is what? a wired card? a wireless card? [03:37] hola [03:37] guys, I did a: cp /lib/udev/rules.d/75-persistent-net-generator.rules /etc/udev/rules.d/, rebooted, but it never added a 70- for my nick, still the defaul file, do i have to do anyhitng special to activate udev for this? [03:37] nic* [03:37] You shouldn't need a driver for your wired connection. [03:38] what's up Juzzy [03:38] I have an old Debian system with a software RAID 1, which I want to upgrade to Ubuntu. could I do an Ubuntu install as a RAID 1, but with only one disk initially? (I'd pull one drive from the current RAID, install to the other, mount the first one and copy off data, then make it part of the mirror.) [03:38] my board is stupid [03:38] you trying to keep eth0/eth1 from being renamed? [03:38] so I need it [03:38] not my nic config :D~ [03:38] can anyone help me [03:38] iter: i want to be able to clone servers without them getting ipconflics [03:38] i have a problem about initramfs [03:38] conflicts* [03:39] how can i fix initramfs [03:39] why not use puppet/salt/some other configmgr [03:39] what doesn't stop it [03:39] geez, i cant type tonight. when you clone the server, the first boot will conflict on ips. [03:39] before it can pull a new config from puppet, etc [03:40] clone from management network IP [03:40] eg, have your image with a 172.16.50.x ip or something [03:40] i can do eth0 - static ip, eth1 - dhcp and it'll be fine, but udev isn't working right on the default 75- rule [03:42] #venezuela [03:42] did chavez die [03:43] one could only hope. [03:44] he's still on the vent so I guess they haven't terminally extubated him yet [03:44] sorry, OT [03:44] there's a new citgo down the road, makes me sad :/ [03:44] Hey guys. I need to do a fresh install of ubuntu on a different. I currently have ubuntu installed on another disk which I will be keeping on this system, unchanged initially. I can't copy all content since the disk on this system is a 5 1TB disk raid 5 via Linux RAID. What do I need to know to restore my new system to as close to a prestine copy of the original system as possible? [03:44] join #raid [03:45] oops @ join #raid. forgot the / [03:46] why not use clonzilla jetole [03:46] jetole: gunna be tricky, if you plan on just cping everyhitng over [03:47] dr_willis: because I don't know it so that's why I'm asking. lol [03:47] you'll lose your md stuff and your raid config will prolly not work on reboot [03:47] Juzzy: it's just that the source disks have more info, a lot more info then the dest disks [03:47] time to hit its homepage.. its a powerfull cloneing tool [03:47] Juzzy: well this will basically be a fresh install on the disks that are not on raid [03:48] dr_willis: a raw clone sounds dangerous here since the dest can't be a complete clone of the source [03:48] ah, then it should be easier, but you'll need to fix your boot stuff after you're done [03:48] I know somethings already i.e. how to view installed packages and add them, etc [03:48] what's the goal jetole [03:48] Juzzy: fix what boot stuff? it will be a fresh install [03:48] why not just reinstall, and clone all packages [03:48] jetole: time to check clinezilas features [03:49] iter: enrypted / [03:49] dr_willis: ok [03:49] I'll read up on it but leaving this open for anyone else to input on here [03:49] then cp the configs you care about from etc [03:49] !backup [03:49] There are many ways to back your system up. Here's a few: https://help.ubuntu.com/community/BackupYourSystem , https://help.ubuntu.com/community/DuplicityBackupHowto , https://wiki.ubuntu.com/HomeUserBackup , https://help.ubuntu.com/community/MondoMindi - See also !sbackup and !cloning [03:49] jetole: dpkg --get-selections on the src then --set-selections [03:49] ^^ [03:49] !cloning [03:49] 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 [03:49] old school debian way there [03:50] and it'll install all your packages to match, then copy /lib and some of /etc [03:50] iter: I'm wondering what will be lost that won't automatically be restored for example, I seem to remember I can't cp the ~/.config/google-chrome/ as chrome knows it's a copy somehow and doesn't use it [03:50] Juzzy: I know about that and dpkg. btw you still need to install the packages [03:50] Juzzy: I think it's apt-get dist-upgrade after doing dpkg --set-selections [03:51] well of course you need to install the packages, but is that such a big deal? [03:52] can't speak to chrome but the important stuff will work if you do the dpkg route and copy the configs [03:52] isn't aptitude considered broken at the moment. I remember someone telling me, those this was like 8 months ago so maybe fixed but that aptitude had a new set of issues steming from multi arch deployment on a system i.e. installing i386 packages on a x86_64 system [03:52] iter: no [03:52] the packages are easy [03:52] I'm looking to what else I need to know [03:53] !aptitude [03:53] aptitude is another terminal-based front-end to APT. You may encounter problems on multiarch installs (11.10 and higher) as aptitude cannot currently handle the same package with different architectures being installed at the same time. See http://pad.lv/831768 for more information. [03:53] that may be fixed now.. i never use aptitude [03:55] dr_willis: nor do I but it was mentioned in a help post above and last I heard it was broken but 2 years ago I remember a bunch of people telling me it's time to learn aptitude to replace apt and I never did and then I remember someone telling me 8 months ago it was broken and blah blah blah. doesn't matter [03:55] "replace apt" [03:55] anyways. Thanks for the help guys [03:55] ... [03:56] ive never really used aptitude. [03:56] iter: i.e. people telling me apt-get is old school and should start uing aptitude. Sorry. I should have been more clear [03:56] not even once [03:56] aptitude is a front end for apt [03:56] I've used it but didn't adopt it. I think at the time I was asking about a history of which packages were installed when and someone told me if I used aptitude it kept it but if I used apt it didn't [03:57] again, long time ago [03:57] iter: yeah I meant apt-get [03:57] of course there is a log file for either but no point in arguing minutae [03:57] dr_willis, so X is a window manager? [03:58] iter: thats what someone else told. I can view a install log for apt-get based installs? how? [03:58] raj: no [03:58] jetole: /var/log/apt/history.log [03:58] ok, so I need X as a requirement for any window manager [03:58] Does Linux mint use the same package manger as Ubuntu? [03:58] X gives me a gui? [03:58] are there alternatives to X? [03:58] X gives you the ability to have a gui. [03:58] xorg [03:59] raj: X is a GUI provider I guess... it doesn't really display anything but window managers need X to run. I don't know how to explain it but no, X isn't a window manager. Gnome, KDE, Unity, Mate, Cinnamon, fluxbox, afterstep. Those are all windows managers [03:59] gotcha [03:59] raj: yes you need X as a requirement for any window manager [03:59] jetole: there is another one too for dpkg iirc [03:59] I thought Gnome/KDE were desktop environments [03:59] since apt is really a frontend for dpkg [03:59] are there alternatives to X? [04:00] /var/log/dpkg.log [04:00] iter: I only really use dpkg for --get-selections, --set-selections or... well I guess I do install the odd .deb with it [04:00] * jetole looks at /var/log/apt/history.log [04:00] yeah it's quite old, back when I first used debian you had to invoke is occassionally to clean up some broken stuff [04:01] but even then apt-whatever was the preferred method [04:01] iter: it looks like /var/log/apt gets rotated out [04:01] weak [04:01] hello all [04:01] iter: does dpkg handle dependencies? I don't think it does === kevin is now known as _kevin_ [04:02] nah it just installs debs [04:02] apt- does the dependencies [04:02] <_kevin_> hey all. for some reason, my grub-reboot doesn't really do anything... any thoughts? i've tried both with a number and with the menu entry name but no-go. suggestions? [04:02] thought so [04:03] <_kevin_> and i've tried googling and following some results (ie http://ubuntuforums.org/showthread.php?t=1530022) but no go [04:03] gdebi is a handy tool. its like smarter dpkg when installing [04:04] Is the ubuntu package manager smart enough to preclude orphaned packages, or is it still worth downloading a separate program to do that? [04:07] al__: define "preclude orphaned packages" [04:08] jetole: prevent orphaned packages from ever occurring [04:09] is that an issue for you? [04:09] back. stepped away from my computer for a sec [04:10] ydddddddddddddddddd [04:10] ,7jjj666666666666666666666666666df [04:10] 3i [04:10] I mean I may have run autoremove like 5-6x in the past several years [04:10] oiiie [04:10] !es | usuario [04:10] usuario: En la mayoría de los canales de Ubuntu, se habla sólo en inglés.

[04:10] but I would guess <1 time per year [04:10] al__: what do you consider a orphaned package? Ubuntu doesn't have orphaned packages per se unless you're using it past it's end of life so, al__, what do you think a orphaned package is [04:10] ? [04:11] any updated directions for installing X on ubuntu server? === linuxthefish is now known as linuxthefish` [04:12] jetole: using the package manager to remove a package, what is the liklihood that of all of the dependencies that were also installed, it will remove those that are no longer needed and keep those that are needed by other packages? is it common for dependencies to remain? [04:12] raj, a DE? sure install ubuntu-desktop package [04:12] !info deborphan | al__ [04:12] al__: deborphan (source: deborphan): program that can find unused packages, e.g. libraries. In component universe, is optional. Version 1.7.28.8 (quantal), package size 101 kB, installed size 498 kB [04:13] jetole: *is it common for dependencies to remain when not needed by any packages? [04:13] bazhang, I'm getting confused between DE and X and window manager [04:13] raj, the DE will include a WM [04:13] I don't have X.org installed on my ubuntu server, right? [04:13] isn't that what I need first [04:13] before looking for a DE? [04:13] the question really is: is deborphan necessary or does the package manager adequately handle this? [04:14] raj, ubuntu-desktop is a meta-package, it will give you all you need [04:14] al__, mostly unneeded, but you can run it to be sure [04:14] didnt know that it was meta ....good to know [04:14] bazhang, I'd like to have openbox though [04:14] so do I need all the extra stuff that ubuntu-desktop will give? [04:15] raj, sudo apt-get install openbox [04:15] and that'll take care of all gui stuff? [04:15] all is a relative term lol [04:15] i mean, it'll install the X dependencies that I currently don't have? [04:17] al__: dependencies remain when you uninstall packages but if they were installed to support a package as a dependency and all packages that used that dependency are uninstaled then the package manager will notify you that you can uninstall these unused dependencies, or at least it should. apt-get package manager does. If any of the gui ones don't then that's pathetic [04:17] hola [04:18] que onda chipo [04:18] !es | chipo [04:18] chipo: En la mayoría de los canales de Ubuntu, se habla sólo en inglés.

[04:32] !mini | onux [04:32] onux: The Minimal CD image is very small in size, and it downloads most packages from the Internet during installation, allowing you to select only those you want (the installer is like the one on the !Alternate CD).

[04:35] *wifi... not wife... the wife hasn't worked in years lol [04:35] seems rather silly [04:35] AV in general is silly [04:35] kantlivelong: I prefer to be on the safe and silly side... [04:35] :) [04:35] raj: it might be worth skimming the Linux From scratch manual.. its not ubuntu.. but it covers a lot of the core 'what does what' type questions [04:35] Gavilan2: by the time your AV detects something your already comprimised [04:36] linux av apps.. normaly scans windows files for windows viruses... [04:36] kantlivelong: not really..... [04:36] and they normally dont do it in 'real time' [04:36] so they are good for servers storeing.transfering files.. or to scan windows systems via a live cd. or other method [04:37] ill accept protecting windows users :P [04:37] ClamAV is worth looking into [04:37] since i dont know of any current linux viruses.... thats about all they can do... [04:37] I also found the unofficial Arch install guide handy for a 'not so in-depth' guide to what does what from power up to GUI as well [04:37] avg has a live CD [04:38] never rely on just one av app.. always scan with several if you want to be truely paranoid.. err.. secue..

[05:13] Hey folks, I need some advice. I'm teaching Linux to complete Linux beginners over 4 weeks. [05:13] The first week I got them to install Ubuntu, gave them the 50 year history of Linux (mainframe, Unix, GNU, Linux, Android), and explained the basic root structure of the system (/bin, /home, /etc, and so on). [05:13] The following week was all CLI, from cd to grep. I'm now rather stuck as to where I should go next with the class. Any suggestions? [05:13] thelodger, wow. seriously? lol. [05:13] is there a way to cancel login? or reboot from login screen? I hit the power button and nothing happened. [05:14] thelodger: i did screen and we all connected to the session.. made html files and whateve.. theres a commandline compantion app [05:14] companion [05:14] thelodger : package installation, upgrading, log files, vim/nano ... [05:14] MrRanDom_: seriously =) [05:15] thelodger: there is actually an Ubuntu Classroom teaching guide around somewhere [05:15] holstein: screen is a great idea, I really need to explain how ssh is so useful too! [05:15] thelodger: Any particular focus to the course? e.g. are you targeting general desktop/GUI users, or is your audience Windows sysadmins who are interested in running Linux servers? That should have a big effect on what you'd prioritise or cover at all [05:15] thelodger, you know, it depends on the students, their knowledge of computers, what they hope to accomplish using Linux; usually people have things they especially like to do on a computer - music, photos, writing - so it's good to target something rather than trying to teach 'everything' [05:16] Laogeodritt: hes already said its a class of newbies [05:16] thelodger: All the documentation we use in the Ubuntu Classroom Team is at wiki.ubuntu.com/Classroom [05:16] hfic: definitely a good idea, I'd drafted up some vim bits already =) [05:16] thelodger: https://wiki.ubuntu.com/Training will give some ideas [05:16] hfic: "Linux beginners" is still very broad [05:16] lunitik: That's savage, thanks for the link! [05:16] Laogeodritt: if he's teaching cd and grep .. i doubt its to any type of sysadmin [05:16] I've been at this more than a decade and I feel like a beginner every day [05:16] hfic: good point [05:17] :) [05:17] regular expressions :) make a good topic to teach beginners... [05:17] MrRanDom_ No, but i need to [05:17] is it bad to hold in the power button at the login screen? === Kasjopaja23111 is now known as Kasjopaja [05:17] really scare them [05:17] make sure you teach editors!! and not emacs [05:17] yatriga, do you have samba even installed on the ubuntu machine? [05:17] zeromodulus: normally if you just press it- it should reboot.. forceing a power off.. is not a good idea [05:17] dr_willis: eek, regexes to beginners? Either really scare them, or make them use them EVERYWHERE... I made myself more problems than I solved when I first learnt how to use regexes... [05:18] yeah, I thought so too, but it doesn't work. [05:18] MrRanDom_ Ya [05:18] I pressed it a few times and it just stayed on. [05:18] zeromodulus: and befor you do it.. you really could go to the console and try a reboot/shutdown command [05:18] hfic: emacs isn't a text editor, it is a text-based operating system [05:18] can't login [05:18] or at least run the 'sync' command a few times in a row befor you force it down. [05:18] zeromodulus: you cant login at the console/ why not? [05:18] forgot my password [05:18] Laogeodritt: That's a very good point. The distribution of these people would be students, people who have been told they need to try Ubuntu or some other distro, and people who work for tech companies but either not in a technical role but would like to, or people who work on embedded software. I think for most of them it's to get comfortable with the system. My goal would be to have them become constant Linux users ;) [05:19] it's been years since this machine has been turned on. [05:19] lunitik: sorry, forgot the separate that thought .. haha [05:19] I had 99 problems so I decided to use regex [05:19] yatriga: I sent you a link [05:19] zeromodulus: the login screen might have an actual poweroff/shutdown menu item somewhere [05:19] now I have 100 problems === jelatta_away is now known as jelatta [05:19] it's ubuntu server edition [05:19] no GUI installe [05:19] d [05:19] zeromodulus: so you ment to say you were at the console LOGIN: prompt. ;) [05:20] zeromodulus: there are recovery consoles.. under the current kernel in grub [05:20] bazhang & holstein: http://pastebin.com/VLKN1eCt [05:20] zeromodulus: alt-ctrl-delete or alt-cgrl-bs may kick it into reboot mode also [05:20] ah, k [05:20] k [05:20] now i know its just not me, installed lubuntu on second computer different hardware and still having issues with google chrome and yahoo home page. [05:20] ah, sweet, ctrl+alt+del did the trick. [05:20] muy excellente. [05:21] MrRanDom_: Similar to what I just said to Laogeodritt, you both raised a very good point. I don't want to scare some of them away by going full terminal on them the entire time. I think I'll put in more of the 'how to everyday things' into it over the next two weeks so [05:21] for some reason or another its bringing it up as mobile. [05:22] thelodger: Good idea. If you show them you can do the same things as on a Mac or PC - then you can tell them some advantages. It's also good to go over disadvantages - but maybe that's a little advanced at this stage. [05:22] I have a "is not in the sudoers file" on 12.04; grub is not being displayed on bootup. How do I proceed to fix this? [05:22] dr_willis: I already drafted out the regex part and then said to myself "This stuff still confuses me" which is why I've been stuck for where to go =P I reckon I'll leave it for a little longer on it =) [05:22] Gavilan2: i would remove that.. and just use clamav.. its well supported [05:23] thelodger: and as long as the script kiddies of the world keep hacking into burger king, nbc and etc. you'll probably have lots to talk about re: security. [05:23] Gavilan2: try and get your system back by undoing what you did that broke it.. remove that [05:23] arg, it's hold shift to get to the grub menu right? [05:23] holstein: How? [05:23] zeromodulus: should work [05:24] MrRanDom_: agreed =) Cheers for the help! [05:25] Gavilan2: i would look at what you installed.. remove them.. and go from there [05:25] haha, I need to get this thing running somehow, because it's the only machine I have with a CD burner. [05:25] Gavilan2: you should be able to get to the package manager you are comfortable using in low-graphics mode [05:25] holstein: I don't know how to remove it!!! [05:25] so I can't even burn recovery discs or install something else or put in a livecd. [05:25] holstein: I can't do anything... I have that screen, and I can't get to anything else.... [05:25] thelodger: sounds like a good plan. Since they're non-technical users, get them comfortable with the GUI analogues to daily Win/OSX stuff, and go as far as they're interested/comfortable in configuring in the GUIs. There's some nice transition points into command-line stuff (e.g. editors -> command-line editors; be sure to front-load your explanations as to advantages/disadvantages, otherwise [05:25] people will just think they're unnecessarily difficult to learn compared to their usual GUI stuff and not care) [05:25] Gavilan2: "that screen" ? [05:25] I can't actually get into low-graphics mode, I just have those 4 options, and they aren't working properly [05:26] yes, the one i described in the paste bin [05:26] Gavilan2: they? [05:26] .. [05:26] #hardware [05:26] Gavilan2: you can sudo autoremove whatever you installed [05:27] "...not in the sudoers file" [05:27] grub is not being displayed on bootup [05:27] how do I fix this? [05:28] 12.04 [05:28] now the machine is just blank, not responding to ctrl+alt+del, or power button press. [05:28] werzer23: can you get to grub tapping shift? you can go to a root recovery shell [05:28] werzer23: what user did you add oritinally during the install? [05:28] werzer23, so what is being displayed? [05:28] sorry - I guess I came late to the party. [05:28] zeromodulus: maybe test the hard drive/memory if its just been sitting around for a while [05:29] my main user is not in the sudo file nor can that user switch to root [05:29] zeromodulus, cntrl+alt+del is a windows thing unless you programmed that in Linux to do the shutdown thing [05:29] or whatever [05:29] nor does the normal grub option menu show up on bootup [05:29] werzer23: press and hold shift at bootuiup to see the grub menu [05:29] werzer23: can you tap shift and get grub to pop up? [05:30] holstein: autoremove command doesn't exist... [05:30] holstein: so, how do I remove it? [05:30] i will try [05:30] Gavilan2: its sudo apt-get autoremove [05:30] Gavilan2: apt-get autoremove === jelatta is now known as jelatta_away [05:31] JoseeAntonioR: I missed your reply earlier, just saw it now and will check it out =) Thanks! [05:31] Laogeodritt: Yeah, I think you're right on that. Especially with regard to the everyday things. And VLC ;) [05:31] holstein: and after that, I reboot or what? [05:32] Gavilan2: we willl be troubleshooting what all damage the application you tried to install did.. so, i would remove whatever you installed and try rebooting, and report [05:33] thelodger: if you need any help on that, a member from the classroom team is here to help [05:34] ah well, it's not like I can do much with this machine anyway. still need to get it connected to a network. [05:34] I want to put OpenBSD on it too. [05:35] Anyone out there have much experience with Macbook Pro installs? [05:36] Same "low graphic stuff message"..... [05:36] how do i launch deadbeef from terminal? [05:37] how to change screen resolution in ubuntu 12.04 using onboard graphics intel dg41 rq [05:39] prashant_123456: the monitors/displays setting tool dosent work for you? [05:40] dr_willis, i dont have monitors /displays settings in my menu [05:40] dr_willis, using ubuntu classic theme [05:40] prashant_123456: what desktop are you using? [05:40] look in the system settings tool [05:40] or whatever its called.. [05:40] dr_willis, when i switch to default gnome i have display [05:41] dr_willis, but not in gnome classic [05:41] prashant_123456: you set the res in either one.. it applys to both. [05:41] dr_willis, yes but there i cannot increase screen resolution its maximumt there [05:42] so now we are down to the actual problem.... [05:42] dr_willis, yes [05:42] ignore #ubuntu,#ubuntu-offtopic ALL -PUBLIC -HILIGHTS -ACTIONS [05:42] whoops [05:42] what is your max res, and how high does it say it can go? [05:43] wait for that i have to log out then log in using gnome default please wait [05:43] unheeding: ignore public and the channel gets a lot quieter. ;) [05:43] or he could have figured out the command to run the settings tool... oh well. [05:44] dr_willis, its 1600x900 [05:44] thatss your laptops native res? [05:45] dr_willis, running desktop on intel dg 41rq onboard graphics [05:45] so is that your monitors native resolution? [05:45] dr_willis, everything is fine with windows 7 but not working with ubuntu [05:46] dr_willis, i cant get your question [05:46] what is the resoluition your monitor uses [05:46] dr_willis, in display it shows this one [05:46] and what is the res you are useing now [05:46] when i use display it shows 1600x900 [05:47] and what is your monitor capable of displaying? [05:48] dr_willis, it is capable of more than that [05:48] and how much more? [05:48] dr_willis, wait i will tell u [05:48] * dr_willis w8's [05:49] hello world!! [05:50] hello lion [05:50] 1280 x 1024 dr_willis [05:50] * deentut rolls eyes [05:50] how you doing? [05:50] rools eye d?

Please use #ubuntu-offtopic for other topics (though our !guidelines apply there too). Thanks! [05:52] hmm gotta hate it when your phone just reboots... ;) [05:53] lion wrong channel for that [05:53] alright...michigan in the house....royal oak here!! [05:53] dr_willis, [05:53] blah blah bazhang [05:53] there are no pinguins @ lake michigan [05:53] way wrong answer lion [05:54] lion this is support only. chit chat in #ubuntu-offtopic [05:54] trying to setup the latest LTS server version on an old laptop to experiment with openstack. Wifi worked during install but didn't come up on later boots. [05:54] Manuall installing rfkill and doing an rfkill unblock wifi then allowed me to get wifi access temporarily but I still don't have wifi working on boot everytime the system is restarted [05:54] any ideas how to fix this? Been googling but not having much success [05:55] with openstack packages installed (but not configured) I now no longer have to run rfkill manually but do have to "ifdown wlan0; ifup wlan0" to get the network to work [05:56] Anyone have experience with Macbook Pro installs and getting the Nvidia stuff working correctly? I'm running a Macbook Pro 7,1 and everything I've tried just turns the screen off during boot! [05:56] prashant_123456: hmm> [05:56] need system work on my view sonic latest LTS ok...wifi...comes in and out help [05:56] neirpyc, you realize this isn't a Mac room, right? [05:57] dr_willis, thanks [05:57] Macbook Pro running Ubuntu? [05:57] oh. my mistake. it's late. or early. sorry. [05:57] dr_willis, tell my how to do this [05:57] neirpyc: assuming you're installing ubuntu, is there a failsafe boot option? === XenGi_ is now known as XenGi [05:57] prashant_123456: what was your Monitors res you want to use? and what res are you curently using now? You might havee to update your vvideo card drivers or make a custome xorg.conf or use the xrandr tools [05:58] Dave114 - you using which version of Ubuntu? Or did I miss that? [05:58] dr_willis, monitor on auto adjust [05:58] MrRanDom_: latest LTS version of server. 12.04.2 [05:58] dr_willis, i want to use 1280 x 1024 [05:59] prashant_123456: and the max the config tool let you set is? [05:59] Dave114, running nouveau, it runs fine. When I install the nvidia-current-updates after Grub it just shuts the screen off and I have to shut down. If I boot with "nosplash --verbose text" I'm able to get to the login terminal and remove the nvidia stuff and reboot. I'm running 12.04.2 [05:59] dr_willis, 1600x900 currently using [05:59] dr_willis, max 1600x900 [06:00] prashant_123456: so you want to use a 'square' res instead of a wide screen res? [06:00] isent 1280x1024 the old square type monitor res? i forget.. [06:00] no i want to use widescreen [06:00] * miadbahrami hi [06:00] prashant_123456: and what is your monitors native resolution? that may be the core of the issue.. [06:01] dr_willis, how to do that please tell me [06:01] prashant_123456: look at the monitors specs.. normally you want to use the monitors native res for the best picture. not scaleing anything [06:01] 1280x1024 is wide screen? [06:01] neirpyc: have you tried waiting a min or so and/or hitting ctrl+alt+fN after a while? [06:01] dr_willis, ok [06:02] Dave114, I've tried waiting it out, but nothing ever seems to happen. What does ctrl+alt+fN do? [06:03] Hey guys,I have ubuntu 12.10 and there is an issue where the cdrom is continuosly being ejected by the OS [06:03] laptop acer 5745G [06:03] how to sync two directori in ntfs partition partition in command ? [06:03] neirpyc: running mac os x on a macbook pro right now (my current probs are with a headless ubuntu server box). ctrl+alt+fN migh get you to one of the virtual-terminals if there are problems starting X [06:03] omkar_: sounds like hardare to me [06:03] miadbahrami: rsync or unison are 2 ways [06:04] !info unison [06:04] unison (source: unison): file-synchronization tool for Unix and Windows. In component universe, is optional. Version 2.40.65-1ubuntu1 (quantal), package size 616 kB, installed size 1690 kB [06:04] i am seeing this generallyy when i connect external keyboard,mouse and monitor to the laptop === resba is now known as resba|Sleep [06:04] otherwise i have seen it working fine [06:04] miadbahrami: rsync would be the most common cli tool for the task [06:04] holstein: so... I did the auto remove thing... But still the screen doesn't work... any other ideas? [06:05] Gavilan2: try as another user. try removing any graphics drivers.. try forcing vesa with a custom xorg.conf. reinstall [06:05] dr_willis, when i use rsync show me error [06:05] dr_willis, skipping directory . [06:05] Dave114, I'll give it a go next time I feel like dealing with it. Thanks! [06:05] dr_willis, miadbahrami@miadbahrami-Sys:~$ rsync /media/miadbahrami/Share1/miad.bahrami/Software/ /media/miadbahrami/Mahan.Tarashe-Portable/ [06:05] skipping directory . [06:05] how do I remove the graphics drivers? how do I force the vesa thing with the xorg.conf? [06:05] neirpyc: if you're able to boot with nosplash, the next thing to do would probably be to look at your X-server log. if you "ls /var/log/*X*" do you see log files? Can't recall what the specific name ubuntu uses is [06:06] Is there a guide for the ubuntu min setup? [06:06] wachpwnski: you mean, minimal? [06:06] miadbahrami: sounds like you are not using all the right options. id check out some rsync exxamples online [06:06] neirpyc: another thing might be that the nvidia drivers are loaded for your particular kernel. Have you tried booting any other kernels? (whatever you were running when you installed the nvidia updates) [06:08] do you guys support lightdm? [06:08] truexfan81: its instggalled by default on ubuntu for the last few releases.. so yes [06:08] Dave114, unfortunately, that last part was all moonspeak to me. Haha. I'm still pretty new to this stuff. [06:08] ok how can i get it to see a compiled fluxbox? [06:08] i'm running a minimal install, right now the compiled fluxbox is all thats on here [06:09] truexfan81: you define lightdm sessions via the making a proper ''sesion.desktop' file in the correct directory [06:09] which is? [06:09] truexfan81: i think it MIGHT be /etc/lightdm/somthing [06:09] look and see [06:09] the lightdm configs mention a series of dirs it looks for [06:09] I'm trying to set up my facebook account in empathy, but when i click on facebook in online accounts, it opens the dialog in an external browser window. even if i log in it doesn't get the message [06:09] if you have any other sessions installed you can look for their .desktop files [06:10] Dave114, I've installed from the latest live cd for 12.04.2 and ran a system update. After that I installed the proprietary drivers for the wifi. Next step was the graphics card, but now I'm running to the black screen/screen turning off part. [06:10] neirpyc: all righty. so far you've figured out how to login in text mode and remove nvidia drivers? Are you executing a command "aptitude ...." or "apt ...." as part of that? [06:10] dr_willis: all i see there is lightdm.conf and users.conf [06:11] truexfan81: and looking IN the lightdm.conf would proberly say where it looks. ;) [06:11] but it seems to be /usr/share/xsessions here on my vps [06:11] [SeatDefaults] [06:11] greeter-session=unity-greeter [06:11] user-session=fluxbox [06:11] that might be the right place [06:11] thats the contents of the file^ [06:12] truexfan81: that seems to imply its allready been set to use fluxbox.. so whats the issue? [06:12] i don't seem to have an xsessions in /usr/share [06:12] do a 'locate fluxbox.desktop; and see what it finds [06:12] dr_willis: when i login it goes right back to lightdm, so its not seeing it [06:12] ok will do that [06:12] do a 'locate fluxbox.desktop' [06:12] no response from it [06:13] truexfan81: or fluxbox is crashing. ;) [06:13] Dave114, to remove the nvidia stuff when I can get to a terminal I use "sudo apt-get remove nvidia-current-updates". It runs then I run a "shutdown -r now". Without changing the kernel options in grub, it boots fine again after that using the default nouveau drivers. [06:13] philip@netbook:~$ locate fluxbox.desktop [06:13] philip@netbook:~$ [06:13] truexfan81: do you have any other desktops or wms installed? you did instgall fluxbox? [06:13] i think the problem i m facing related to cdrom ejecting is due to usb [06:13] dr_willis: i installed the build-deps and compiled fluxbox from source [06:13] omkar_: take it to another machine and confirm [06:13] when i don't connect anything to the laptop everything is fine but otherwise it keeps on ejecting cdrom [06:14] truexfan81: you could instgall for example 'jwm' and see where it puts its .desktop file at. its a minimal window manager.. even more minimal then fluxbox [06:14] neirpyc: what happens if you do a "sudo apt-get install nvidia-current-updates" instead of remove? Trying to get ubuntu to reconfigure your drivers. Perhaps the wifi driver setup messed things up [06:14] truexfan81: so you have no sessions at all in the lightdm list? [06:14] right [06:14] u mean reproduce the problem on another machine via connecting mouse & keyboard [06:14] on the same os? [06:14] but i don't have another machine currently to reproduce the problem [06:14] dr_willis: did that [06:15] truexfan81: id install jwm. and see where its jwm.desktop is at.. and copy it as a example to use for your own custome fluxbox.desktop [06:15] locate doesn't find lwm.desktop either [06:15] [ 1106.371928] hub 1-1:1.0: >unable to enumerate USB device on port 1 [06:15] i get this error too [06:15] truexfan81: done a 'sudo updatedb' lately? [06:15] in the dmesg [06:15] i always forget that command lol [06:15] one sec [06:15] Dave114, never thought of trying that. Would they mess with each other even though I install the wifi drivers, reboot, then install the graphics? [06:16] hmm still nothing [06:16] philip@netbook:~$ sudo updatedb [06:16] philip@netbook:~$ locate jwm.desktop [06:16] philip@netbook:~$ [06:17] its Jwm.desktop truexfan81 [06:17] ;) [06:17] and in /usr/share/xsessions/Jwm.desktop here [06:18] note the upper case J ;0 [06:18] yep its there here too now [06:18] neirpyc: the package manager should hopefully be able to manage both wifi and graphics drivers in theory. In practice things don't always work out quite as well. I'm just guessing that perhaps the wifi driver install might have accidentally removed the nvidia module [06:18] so far gives a black screen and mouse pointer in Jwm [06:18] truexfan81: thatgs jwm for you.... [06:18] panel at the bottom? ;) and a button [06:19] does nothing tho, no right-click menu or anything [06:19] minimal right clicn menu [06:19] thats odd. [06:19] Dave114, worth a shot! I'll give it a go now and report back in ~10 minutes after I fix it if it doesn't. =) Thanks again. [06:19] jwm is about as falsafe of a mode as one can get [06:19] I gotta do a job.. be back in a bit. [06:20] is there a package that can make an icon for a webpage, like the youtube icon does? === XenGi is now known as XenGi_ [06:21] ? [06:21] neirpyc: I'll probably be lurking for a while if that doesn't work. Have you updated your system recently? Running 12.04 was it? Googling I see a Jan 29th nvidia-current-updates that mentions fixing backlight problems in some laptops. [06:21] would be nice to have more webpage start icons for docky [06:22] neirpyc: from the text mode login doing "sudo apt-get update; sudo apt-get upgrade" should try to upgrade packages for you. It might tell you that certain packages are being held back - often kernels don't autoupdate. If so you might have to separately execut "sudo apt-get install list-of-held-back-packages" after updating [06:23] Dave114, you mean dist-upgrade [06:23] !dist-upgrade | Dave114 [06:23] Dave114: A dist-upgrade will install new dependencies for packages already installed and may remove packages if they are no longer needed. This will not bring you to a new release of Ubuntu, see !upgrade if that is your intention. [06:24] g'day, i use focus follows mouse but only raise on click. this used to work fine but a recent update reset configuration back to click to focus. i've changed rg.gnome.desktop.wm.preferences focus-mode 'sloppy' which is what it used to be, but windows still get raised after a few seconds. how can i stop this? [06:24] Hi all [06:24] bazhang: what would seem to make sense. Thanks. I'm getting stale I guess [06:24] i only want windows to raise when i click - how come this behaviour changed with "sloppy" mode? [06:25] johnflux:hi mate, whats your question? [06:25] I get graphics corruption with my i915 intel graphics chipset, but if I pass "nomodeset" when booting, it doesn't boot - it just goes black [06:25] anyone have any idea why it is that when I try to add facebook to my online accounts it opens my web browser, which then says simply, "sucess" and my facebook account is not added? [06:25] johnflux:i had somebody asking same trouble on i915 on his netbook yesterday [06:26] johnflux:maybe test something lighter like lubuntu? [06:26] basically I can't add my facebook account to my online accounts. anyone have any clue on how to fix it? [06:27] No such file or directory: apache2: could not open error log file /var/log/apache2/error.log <--- error for starting apache. [06:27] johnflux:did you clean install 12.10 or upgrade? [06:27] is there any other way to fix it? besides obviously creating the file and giving it apache user? [06:28] I hve a feeling that web apps is what is causing the error, how do I uninstall the face book webapp [06:28] AcidRain: maybe #apache can help you too [06:34] well, It's been a pleasure, but ubuntu sux... I'll try my luck on a debian now... [06:36] Gavillan2: theres always a solution for your trouble [06:36] i installed xfce4 from the repos, it crashes back to lightdm too [06:36] i think i'll try the other distro i have a iso for [06:36] suse [06:37] Hi there, I had a general question. My home folder is cluttered with varius hidden files and folders. Is there a simple way to get applications to store these files elsewhere. Possibly a single subdirectory? [06:38] ericw: i think every app chooses config files in /home hidden dir by default [06:39] ericw: you would have to manually choose your specific dir on every single package [06:39] dr_willis, i want resolution 1600x900 and that is on my windows 7 os [06:39] That would be fine. Is there a standard way to do that with a package manager? [06:39] dr_willis, my monitor supports that one [06:40] Dave114, just tried running apt-get install again but it didn't detect anything wrong. I can pull up the Xorg.0.log in nano but I'm not sure what I am looking for. [06:40] ericw: im note sure theres a trick for that [06:41] ericw:you want a cleaner look on your /home folder? [06:41] Running startx from the terminal just shuts the screen off like booting without the nosplash stuff [06:41] neirpyc: did you clean install or upgrade ubuntu [06:42] lotuspsychje: Ok, I don't want a cleaner look for my home folder, I just don't want it as cluttered. I find it hard to find my hidden files/folders. [06:42] Can you uninstall the amazon stuff in Ubuntu 12.10? [06:42] lotuspsychje: Yes, my solution is to stop using Ubuntu.... [06:42] lotuspsychje, clean install of 12.04.2 on a Macbook Pro 7,1. [06:43] sudo apt-get remove unity-lens-shopping [06:43] ericw: you could store your hidden files on seperate dirs maybe like /home/music or whatever [06:43] Cool thanks [06:43] anyone have a fix for the facebook online account issue yet? [06:43] neirpyc:maybe clean install a 12.10 and install nvidia-current [06:43] np [06:44] Aravoth: re-ask your issue once in a while mate [06:45] lotuspsychje: Always an option, but thats more typing! As you said before, I would have to do it on a package by package basis. Do you have any idea how I would go about this? Any starting point would be fine. [06:45] lotuspsychje, can give it a shot. I had worse luck with 12.10 last time I tried. When 12.04.2 came out I thought I would give it another go after I couldn't get WiFi in 12.04.1. [06:46] neirpyc: what did go wrong on 12.10 clean? [06:46] My facebook online account won't work. When i try to set up the online account for it, it opens my browser instead of what it noramlly does [06:46] What happens if you log in in the browser? [06:47] lotuspsyche, couldn't get WiFi to work after suspend, if at all. Same black screen/screen turning off with nvidia-current. [06:47] neirpyc: did you try the "sudo apt-get update; sudo apt-get dist-upgrade" idea? [06:47] WiFi has always had issues after suspend for me [06:48] Dave114, yeah, I tried removing the nvidia and reinstalling in the same session. Same deal. [06:48] ericw:as i can read, its not very recommended to erase or replace .hidden files on the home folder [06:48] neirpyc: not just removing and reinstalling. also separately running "sudo apt-get update; sudo apt-get dist-upgrade" in case your version of the drivers was out of date [06:49] I'll give it a shot now. [06:49] neirpyc:maybe turn off suspend, cause many machines have suspend bugs [06:50] Dave114, what is dist-upgrade? Ran it and it didn't find anything. === Termana is now known as Guest58213 [06:50] neirpyc:i would go search for a suspend bug for your specific hardware [06:51] lotuspsychje, I'll give 12.10 a shot if I can't get this working in the next few days. [06:51] neirpyc:maybe check logs at the time you suspend, to see what happens [06:51] neirpyc: basically it'll update outdated stuff on your machine. a relatively recent ndivia driver update was saying that it fixed some backlight problems - i.e. you want to make sure your version isn't a problem one [06:52] ericw: http://askubuntu.com/questions/20127/how-to-remove-configuration-files-completely [06:53] Dave114, ran update and dist-upgrade. Got 0's for all the upgrade, newly installed stuff. [06:53] lotuspsychje: Haha, Dangerous and bad: Yes. but I still want to do it. Thanks for the link! I wouldn't mind as much if there weren't so many. Obviously I'm going to .local and .ssh .config. [06:54] neirpyc: http://askubuntu.com/questions/183485/how-to-make-suspend-and-hibernate-work-on-macbookpro-5-4 [06:55] hi ppl [06:55] lotuspsychje / neirpyc: if I understand correctly neirpyc's problem is more getting graphics going than suspend/hibernate? [06:56] Dave114: he says he tested both clean installs on 12.04 and 12.10 with nividia-current [06:57] Yeah, my issue with 12.10 was both WiFi and graphics. Only graphics on 12.04.2 [06:57] Working on the graphics problem with 12.04.2 now. [06:58] neirpyc: this looks like something https://bugs.launchpad.net/ubuntu/+source/linux/+bug/1085448 [06:58] Ubuntu bug 1080530 in linux (Ubuntu Precise) "duplicate for #1085448 v86d prevents suspend from completing" [Medium,Fix released] [06:59] Suspend works fine for me in 12.04.2. [07:01] Its actually the best experience with Ubuntu I've ever had. Which is why I'm trying to knock out this one last issue. If I can get it to use the nvidia stuff correctly, I can stop switching over to OS X to get my work done. [07:01] cool [07:02] It just runs hot and battery drains faster using the nouveau driver. [07:03] how does one change the theme (e.g in this picture, use a dark theme : http://i.imgur.com/glOitl5.png ) in ubuntu 12.10? I tried changing the gtk theme and it seems to have no effect.. === Karani1 is now known as Karani [07:13] does Urban Terror support online play???? [07:20] I have installed openssh/enabled port forwarding in my router/and cant connect from my android with connectbot anything I should check>? [07:20] yeah. try it one step at a time. can you ssh localhost? [07:20] yes [07:21] can you ssh 192.168.. or whatever the local is? [07:21] how to change the ssh welcome message ? I tried to change /etc/motd but it is being overwritten by something else . Please help [07:21] Good morning :) [07:21] ifconfig to find your lan ip [07:21] quick-: /etc/issue perhaps? [07:21] Just connected with local ip [07:22] Morning Goranek [07:22] quick-: man motd says "/etc/motd.tail" is what you want to change [07:22] quick- no dont do that [07:22] quick-: however, on my 12.04 system motd.tail doesn't exist, I only have motd.tail.old [07:23] quick- edit /etc/issue.net [07:23] and enable it in your ssh config [07:23] okay, have you tried with a different client... connect bot is pretty good in my experience [07:23] connectbot is what i used have not tried another. [07:23] can you use connect bot with the local lan? [07:24] ? [07:24] so you tried to connect to the 192.168 address? Im just making sure youve isolated it down to a port forwarding issue [07:25] what is the command to check if a package is installed in ubuntu [07:25] like rpm -qa|grep package_name in rpm based distros [07:26] I tried to connect with my outside ip and my ssh servers lan ip [07:26] omkar_: dpkg --list [07:26] both dont work? [07:26] thanks SwedeMike [07:28] No both dont work :( [07:28] sorry im slow, im trying some things ;/ [07:29] packetfrog: SwedeMike : Still not coming [07:29] well i would gander that a connect bot setting might be miss configed. Are you using the default port for sshd? you can find all the settings in /etc/ssh/sshd_config or something like that [07:29] quick- did you enable it in sshd config file? [07:29] zanegrey yes I am [07:30] hmm [07:30] hello, anyone here ? [07:30] from outside ip it says connection refused its setup for port forwarding though checked twice [07:30] i just removed django but its still is being displayed in the dpkg list [07:31] well its not going to go very far if you can't even get into it from the lan side. You said trying ssh 192.168.x.x from the server works? [07:31] from the server yes [07:31] packetfrog: i dont want a banner . i want a message after successful login the ones like welcome to ubunutu [07:32] hmm. and youve specified your username in connect bot (i.e. the one you log into the server with) [07:32] i need help installing ubuntu (or any distro of linux for that matter) on my samsung chronos, i think the UEFI bootloader is causing a problem when i load ubuntu via wubi or partitioning the harddrive, i"ve tried almost all methods of booting linux, via usb and cd, it seems to be a samsung firmware issue of some sort embedded in the UEFI bootloader, was wondering if there was a fix of some sort [07:32] available or if anyone has encountred and solved this problem before? === ident is now known as Guest62274 [07:32] Yes. wierd just tried on "server" to connect via outside ip and its refused. [07:32] so it has to be my router right? [07:32] !uefi | FaheemAM [07:32] FaheemAM: UEFI is a specification that defines a software interface between an operating system and platform firmware, it is meant as a replacement for the BIOS. For information on how to set up and install Ubuntu and its derivatives on UEFI machines please read https://help.ubuntu.com/community/UEFI [07:33] well yes, i would still be concerned why connect bot is not working on lan side [07:33] are you running something nice like ddwrt? [07:33] thanks bazhang, another issue i seem to be having is the bootloader doesnt detect gparted or any partitioning 3rd party software so i can repartition my C drive? [07:33] just a wgr614 netgear [07:34] going to check a howto and makesure i did it right [07:34] the general idea should be to specify the lan side ip to recieve connections ( should be static sometime in the future ), the port numer (22 for ssh) and to allow tcp from anywhere [07:36] also just a quick check... make sure you don't have firewalld or something like that running. Or configure it to allow you through. [07:38] i cant seem to resize my C: drive via any 3rd party partition software under the UEFI bootloader, does anyone have a solution for that ?? lol [07:39] currently using windows to do so, thereafter installing Linux on the new partition? [07:39] hi [07:40] have tried: Gparted, Paragon Partiton, etc nothing wants to resize the harddrive, starts process but screen blanks out and goes straight to booting windows [07:40] will i be at risk to brick my latpop, or is the UEFI/EFI on my bootloader the cause?4 [07:40] you said you were using what hardware? a samsung chromebook? [07:40] a samsung chronos 7 [07:41] i"ve read extensively on the forums that bricking is common [07:41] due to samsung loading their own crappy firmware into the UEFI bootlader [07:41] ol well its all setup right another day then! :) [07:41] thnks for the help! [07:41] night [07:41] well yeah, it was a firmware issue actually and from what ive heard its not resolved yet [07:41] I'm still a newbie so my thinking may be wrong, but simply said, i'read no solution for the problem zanegray [07:41] @packetfrong [07:41] ? [07:41] with my router? [07:41] @packetfrog... good luck and sorry about the issues [07:42] ill try and use a linksys1000n or wrtg54 tomorrow. [07:42] atleast that will isolate the issue. [07:42] i would emphasize getting logged in on the lan side first [07:42] FaheemAM: how bout switching to Legacy BIOS instead of UEFI? [07:42] you dont have another client to try? [07:43] @FaheemAM thatll avoid the issue entirely from what ive heard since its just their uefi implemenation [07:43] ill download one when i lay down and try [07:43] wiggmpk well their is a boot legacy enabled but since windows was installed under EFI it doesnt want to let me partiton or install linux under legacy @ wiggmpk [07:43] @packetfrog look up putty if you have a windows box :) [07:43] FaheemAM: and you plan on keeping WIndows installed? [07:44] zanegray from using the laptop ios setting and disabling efi it immeditely damaged my bootloader on my laptop, i had to revert back to use windows [07:44] i jumped into the conversation like 2mins ago so excuse me if its been said already [07:44] well wiggmpk i dont mind dumpong windows, but the fact is i got Ubutnu installed under wubi ONLY so far with this issue [07:44] ? [07:44] i cant even boot the liveUSB or liveCD [07:44] dumping* [07:44] so have they implemented secure boot on that thing? would that be the issue? [07:45] FaheemAM: have you taking a look on the Ubuntu help pages about installing Ubuntu under UEFI/EFI? [07:45] FaheemAM: wubi doesn't work on UEFI. You need the 64bit ISO to install it. [07:45] i've checked the guide and installed tried booting it previously, as said before, the samsung refuses to identify either the USB or CD as bootable wiggmpk [07:45] ok lets leave the ubuntu problem for a sec [07:45] lets reveryt back to partitioning [07:46] can i repartiton my harddrive with a 3rd party software? [07:46] under UEFI and secure boot? [07:46] Bleh, just tried a bunch of stuff with nomodeset and nvidia-xconfig, still no luck. [07:46] Well uefi should not affect it but with secure boot.. thats not something i would be sure about. [07:46] does your bios mention anything about secure boot? [07:47] let me boot up and see [07:47] brb [07:47] :) [07:47] lol [07:47] FaheemAM: Please don't flood; use http://paste.ubuntu.com to paste; don't use Enter as punctuation. [07:47] i thought UEFI infact was secure boot? [07:47] I tried to recover some files. I ended up sending them to my drive with ubuntu on it. I filled that drive so there is no more room. I think this is the reason I can not log into my ubuntu. [07:47] nope. uefi is just a different kind of bios implemenation and one of its features is secure boot. [07:48] Since you mostly find them hand-in-hand they are kinda easy to mix up :) [07:48] zanegray: so then they are related [07:48] guess I could of worded that better [07:48] Zanegrey. Good call!! Thanks! Its just connect bot being stupid. [07:48] yes completely related. you cannot have secureboot without uefi [07:48] Sometimes it gives a serious of weird messages, often I get to a log in menu, and when I try to log in, it says something is wrong with my gnome power managing setup, or some such thing [07:48] @packetfr0g awesome!! [07:49] dunno what all this fuss is about UEFI *sigh* [07:49] uefi is great, it really is. fast boot times and more featured. the issue is that ms is pushing secure boot along with it, which in its self is not a bad idea... [07:49] I fortunately had a ubuntu installation on this flash drive, but its not letting me even see the recovered files, short of actually letting me delete them so that I might try regularly getting on [07:50] Is anyone able to help please? [07:50] @fried please explain your issue again [07:50] I just did [07:50] Ok I will cut and past what I already said [07:50] zanegray: honestly I dont see the boot time increase.. maybe seconds if that.. more practical for rapid deployment than for every day consumers [07:51] I tried to recover some files. I ended up sending them to my drive with ubuntu on it. I filled that drive so there is no more room. I think this is the reason I can not log into my ubuntu. [07:51] Sometimes it gives a serious of weird messages, often I get to a log in menu, and when I try to log in, it says something is wrong with my gnome power managing setup, or some such thing [07:51] I fortunately had a ubuntu installation on this flash drive, but its not letting me even see the recovered files, short of actually letting me delete them so that I might try regularly getting on [07:51] BTW, how do I disable messages of people logging on and off with this IRC webclient? [07:52] It is making it much harder to follow what people are saying with them filling the screen [07:52] okay so you have ubuntu on a flash drive and then copied extra stuff on it and now it wont log you in? [07:52] fried: yeah, someone should tell that to the empathy dev's too [07:52] No [07:52] use pidgin, far better [07:53] @fried sry im just having a hard time following your issue [07:53] I had ubuntu on a regular hard drive, I tried to recover files to that hard drive, now that ubuntu on the HDD won't load [07:53] Hello [07:53] hi zanegray and wiggmpk [07:53] And the ubuntu from the flash drive, can't see or delete the files filling the HDD [07:53] zanegray: i used to, but I like the integration of empathy over pidgin [07:53] @fried not sure what would be going on [07:53] my settings on bios are AHCI mode enabled, EDB Enabled, UEFI Boot disabled, yet i see nothin abt Secure Boot @ wiggmpk and zanegray [07:54] wiggmpk: You mean there is no way to disable these messages of people logging on and off with this IRC web client? [07:54] FaheemAM: if UEFI is disbaled your using "legacy" mode [07:54] fried: no idea.. dont use a webclient for IRC [07:54] hey everyone. Two issues. First is there any way of getting just 2d workspaces in lubuntu? The second how do I get xubuntu on top of an lubuntu [07:54] @FaheemAM okay so ahci mode is good, edb... not sure what that is, uefi disabled means your using legacy like you said [07:55] yes wiggmpk, i understnd that, but it still doesnt seem to boot any LiveUsb or CD, nor does it run any partitioning software [07:55] wiggmpk: then what did you mean with that comment about empath dev? [07:55] Vivekananda, 2nd question first: sudo apt-get install xfce4 will give you that interface but not the apps. [07:55] zanegray EDB from descritpiton referes to the HDD protecting itself from malware of some sort :? [07:55] fried: because if you use empathy, you cant hide the join/part messages, hence it being annoying [07:55] @FaheemAM hmmmm that sounds suspicous... doesnt it? [07:55] zanegray in my mind it means samsung loaded some crappy firmware, funny enuf when i disabled EDB it almost crashed my windows [07:56] BRB, restarting firefox [07:56] zanegray after enabling it again it booted it fine [07:56] cfhowlett: Do I understand correct that if I install apps on lubuntu I will have them on xubuntu too. [07:56] zanegray initially i also thought the EDB refered to something concering the Secure boot [07:56] and no difference ? [07:56] How do you minimize a window with firefox 4 and ubuntu 11.04? [07:56] Also can anyone help me trouble shoot my video card woes ? [07:57] dang buttons I count on using are nowhere to be found [07:57] FaheemAM: intel processor? [07:57] Vivekananda, xfce4 is the desktop environment ... look and feel. The actual apps would be sudo apt-get install xubuntu-desktop [07:57] faheem, jeez yeah I think that would be the first thing I would start looking into. Unfortunately I don't know a whole lot about how secureboot / edb works other than you should be able to 1) disable it and just load whatever onto it 2) load up a *very* recent bootloader that is signed by a valid key [07:57] yes wiggmpk intel processor [07:58] FaheemAM: Execute Disable Bit [07:58] probably [07:58] which would afford the question which ubuntu version are you using? [07:58] well zanegray i first used 12.04 it worked fine via WUBI [07:58] cfhowlett: I am guessing what you meant is " the actual apps would be sudo apt-get install App" [07:58] it then crashed after the 3rd use zanegray [07:59] i then tried the Secure remix bazhang pointed me to zanegray [07:59] Execute Disable bit or the NX bit is nothing related to secureboot and is on all computing devices nowadays... keep that enabled [07:59] Vivekananda, yes. or to get the entire xubuntu meta-package, apt-install xubuntu-desktop [07:59] no results as it doesnt want to see the usb drive at all [07:59] okay so i would go under the assumption that its not secure boot related.... [08:00] yes zanegray [08:00] which doesn't help you out very much lol [08:00] with ubuntu 11.04, how do i find system messages in the background? [08:00] acutally I assume (from what i've been reading) that its some firmware loaded into the samsung bootloader [08:00] this unity thing is very confusing [08:00] zanegray its a common problem if googled [08:00] last fucking samsung laptop i buy :/ [08:00] specific to samsung? [08:01] language mate, [08:01] zanegray yes, apparently it relates to the UEFI and is a widespread issue with any OS trying to be loaded [08:01] sorry wiggmpk but its like a month into this issue lol [08:01] with ubuntu 11.04, how do i find system messages in the background? [08:01] FaheemAM: i know, it's frustrating [08:01] quick question... do you know if you have the most recent bios/uefi firmware? [08:02] fried, 11.04 is end of life. urge you to upgrade soonest as support has ended [08:02] zanegray i havent updated my bios since purchase, i;ve read that samsung has alot of bugs in the new version, would u advise i do so? [08:02] although my information could be flawed as it is otyher users experience lol [08:02] cfhowlett: Never mind that now, I am in a emergancy situation, running off a flash drive because my HDD is super messed up [08:02] well i looked on their page and it says they released on in Aug 16, 2011 [08:03] bought before or after? [08:03] cfhowlett: so help me to use unity please [08:03] bought about 3 months ago zanegray but could be old stock [08:03] cfhowlett: anyway, I doubt the setup for unity has changed that much since 11.04 [08:03] let me go update the bios or see if it can be updated, worst that can happen is i brick it :( [08:03] yeah its a possiblity.. its a quick easy check to see what bios version you have... the new one is 1.0.0.2 [08:04] if you could call it new :P [08:04] fried, please ask specifics in this channel. I'm on xubuntu so no help with unity from me. sorry [08:04] cfhowlett: Only xfce can also be used inside lubuntu isnt it ? if I get the entire xubuntu-desktop then it can be a standalone right ? [08:04] how do i see what bios i currently have zanegray ? [08:05] FaheemAM: Cant you see that during the boot up ? [08:05] ull have to boot into bios. it should be right on the main page and possibly obfusicated... with no labels [08:05] lol..... let me try brb :/ [08:05] Vivekananda, nope. ubuntus can run pretty much any linux desktop environment. lubuntu's default DE is lxde, xubuntu's , xfce4 [08:05] I mean boot into .. ok zanegray [08:05] gl [08:05] thanks zanegray, ur a real help ! [08:05] I installed chatzilla, the window came up for rebooting firefox, I minimized that window for a moment, now how do I find that minimized system window asking if I wanted to reboot firefox now? [08:05] np [08:06] Noone knows? [08:06] so lxde is a DE . What then is lubuntu ( just trying to get better political correctness I guess) Is it the distro ? [08:06] yes [08:07] @seek life of pi [08:07] aeon-ltd: was that for me ? === gary is now known as Guest95566 [08:07] Anyone? [08:07] Vivekananda, lubuntu IS the distro. and you can use xfce4 with it if you want. You could even install the entire xubuntu package if you wnated .. but why? [08:07] Vivekananda: yes [08:07] I guess everyone hates unity... [08:07] fried have you tried alt+tab? [08:07] !details|fried, details matter. [08:07] fried, details matter.: Please give us full details. For example: "I have a problem with ..., I'm running Ubuntu version .... When I try to do ..., I get the following output: ..., but I expected it to do ..." [08:08] wiggmpk: tried that, didn't find it, I guess I need to do it manually [08:08] cfhowlett: I did [08:08] twice even [08:09] brb, these login/out messages are driving me bonkers [08:09] cfhowlett: I have lubuntu up and running and I dont see any huge need but some things I have gotten used to are not here on lxde. eg worspaces in rows and columns for faster swtiching ( as an aside can kupfer do this ? ) . And I need a lightweight distro so thought of getting xubuntu too along with L [08:09] @fried... use pidgeon its pretty rock solid [08:10] Vivekananda, easy enough to try it out. If you decide it's not for you, apt--get purge xubuntu-desktop should reset you to stock lubuntu [08:11] OK back [08:11] hi zanegray [08:11] I have tried it earlier and frankly I like the speed of lubuntu but there are some compromises as there would be . I am hoping to live with some and to find workarounds for some [08:11] hey whats up? [08:11] I would like to be able to do fast switching of worspaces though [08:11] my bios version is not 1.0.0.2 it only says P00AAS [08:11] my bios version is not 1.0.0.2 it only says P00AAS @ zanegray [08:11] hmmm strange. [08:11] ... let me do some googling [08:12] i probalby will just try n upgrade lol [08:12] Ok, I will explain my situation for the third time. It will take several posts [08:13] i run windows 8 (preinstalled) zanegray btw :/ [08:13] fried0, suggest you put all the details in a .txt text file and paste it. that way people don't have to track through multiple threads [08:13] Running ubuntu off a HDD, I tried to recover files to the same partition the OS was on. This completely filled that partition. Shortly after navigator crashed. I restarted. Now I can not load that ubuntu on the HDD [08:13] zanegray i fear windows 7 is the acutual reason im stuffed, yet i dnw how lol [08:13] cfhowlett: Good idea, what is that website for that again please?

[08:14] hello ppl [08:14] thats a weird bios version [08:14] @FaheemAM just to get the record straight.. you have windows on their right now with it on the entire drive? [08:14] can you still get into windows? [08:14] !who [08:14] As you can see, this is a large channel. If you're speaking to someone in particular, please put their nickname in what you say (use !tab), or else messages get lost and it becomes confusing :) [08:14] ..... zanegray im in windows [08:14] wo0t, greetings [08:14] zanegray what i neglected to mention [08:14] cfhowlett: anything for me ? [08:15] zanegray is that i have 2 harddrives a 8GB SSD and a 1TB HDD, now i think that the 8GB is used to store the OS [08:15] zanegray in doing so samsung have somehow locked my usage to this 8GB SSD and are using it to speed boot time.... [08:15] okay so it came preinstalled with windows 8, you put 7 on there? [08:15] its still on windows 8 zanegray [08:15] Vivekananda, based on what you said, I'd suggest you install xfce4 ... If you like that then load the full xubuntu-desktop. If tha't [08:15] zanegray should i revert back to windows 7?? [08:15] Vivekananda, if xubuntu works out better for you, install that instead of lubuntu [08:16] okay so the 8 gb ssd is definitely not big enough to hold all of windows. they have it set up in a technique called ssd caching. [08:16] ? ssd caching? [08:16] yes zanegray i think thats thwe issue [08:16] brb] [08:16] But, there are several different implementations for ssd caching with Intel Smart response being the most common [08:17] kinda like superfetch zanegray? [08:17] @wiggmpk well sorta. I havent heard that term for a long time but thats mostly a windows thing to do some extra paging stuff i think [08:18] whats good.. so question.... does ubuntu/unity use the gnome online accounts to connect to facebook through empathy.. or does it use the ubuntu one.. [08:18] zanegray: Smart Responce Technology? I never heard of SSD caching before so I'm curious [08:18] this is more along the lines of caching where ssd acts as a page cache. It really depends on the implementation [08:18] Okay so heres the breakdown [08:18] because im running gnome3 and here about two days ago something with facebook and the gnome online account manager broke. [08:19] Who's runnning ubuntu touch? [08:19] redhat help ? [08:19] The hard drive is read by pages at a time and the OS loads these into main memory [08:19] !tablet|ax562, [08:19] ax562,: The Ubuntu tablet can be discussed in #ubuntu-tablet or #ubuntu-discuss, please remember that #ubuntu is for support only. [08:19] so i can no longer add facebook accounts.. when i try to add an account instead of opening in the online account manager it opens in my browser.. so account is never added [08:19] cfhowlett: thanks and I will [08:19] Vision-, redhat? wrong channel for that. sorry [08:20] ok thxn [08:20] the issue is that read and writes from disk are expensive so ssd caching is a way to put an intermediate level between the hard drive and main memory so that the OS can find recently used pages in the cache without having to go to the disk to read [08:20] basicly if ubuntu/unity did not use it i was going to reinstall with ubuntu/unity.. add my account.. and then install gnome [08:20] @cf not tablet phone lmao [08:21] ok, I am wondering, on ubuntu,what is better for a computer ip, something such that starts with 10. or 192. ? [08:21] zanegray sorry had a customer [08:21] 10. is class A, 192 is class C [08:21] @FaheemAm no worries... I think i gotta hit the sack here soon [08:21] guest-1G9P13: well 192 would be the ip given by the router.. where 92 - 98 ext are your actual internet ip [08:21] about 1:30 in the morning here [08:21] lol [08:21] zanegray thanks for the help, i'll figure it out [08:22] zanegray ubuntu, is great for the communtiy, u prove it :P [08:22] would it be ok if I CHANGED IT TO a static with a class a? [08:22] @woot, isn't 10. more for vpn and 192 for local networks? [08:22] good luck and if i were you I would make sure to backup everything. and then try some more drastic measures. [08:22] guest-1G9P13: typically you want to use a Class C address for your local network [08:22] but can it be done? [08:23] and work [08:23] such as upgrading that bios [08:23] so any idea.... oh which online account manager is used by empathy on unity? [08:23] but good luck [08:23] guest-1G9P13: can what be done? [08:23] use a class A ip on a home network for computer [08:23] on ubuntu [08:23] @guest believe so..believe it's more of a format issue [08:23] http://paste.ubuntu.com/5557447/ [08:24] guest-1G9P13: first, the OS doesnt matter.. but to answer your question, yes it will work but its not typical. Netgear routers (modern ones) will default to a class A address if the "typical" class c address range is being used [08:24] Your help would be greatly appreciated [08:25] just found a bug in unity [08:26] !bug|guest-1G9P13, [08:26] guest-1G9P13,: If you find a bug in Ubuntu or any of its derivatives, please file a bug using the command « ubuntu-bug » - See https://help.ubuntu.com/community/ReportingBugs for other ways to report bugs. [08:26] what was that ubuntu discussion room again? [08:26] @cfhowlett? [08:26] It is sad that ubuntu paste bin lacks word wrap [08:26] !ot|ax562, [08:26] ax562,: #ubuntu is the Ubuntu support channel, for all Ubuntu-related support questions. Please use #ubuntu-offtopic for other topics (though our !guidelines apply there too). Thanks! [08:27] thanks [08:27] hi [08:27] fried0: that wuld be bad to wrap code.. [08:27] what would be a recomended class A ip for a computer? [08:27] 10. xxx.xxx etc [08:27] fried0, gotta wrap before you paste. Is formatting/installing again an option? [08:28] dr_willis: Well there is a option to save for code, but I choose plain text, so it should word wrap [08:28] dr_willis: http://paste.ubuntu.com/5557447/ [08:28] guest-1G9P13: why do want to use a Class A address? are you connected to a router? [08:28] yes.., [08:28] but I wan't to use a static class a [08:29] guest-1G9P13: what brand router? [08:29] d-link [08:29] but I use dd-wrt [08:29] firmware [08:29] guest-1G9P13: you would have to change the entire network to use Class A ranges otherwise your gonna have a lonely computer on your network [08:29] cfhowlett: there is a screen poping up asking I want to installed 11.10. And I can install 11.4 from the flash drive. Bu I want to preserve bookmarks etc from the previous install. I would also have to install on a new partition since the old one is out of space [08:30] wiggmpk would that be bad [08:30] fried0, thinking ... [08:30] guest-1G9P13: if you want to get out to the internet, probably [08:31] fried0, while booted from the USB, you can see your /home files on the HDD, yes? [08:31] hi ppls [08:31] cfhowlett: some of them I think [08:31] double checking [08:31] wiggmpk so it won't work with the router there for no internet? [08:32] dr_willis: do you know if there are two online account managers in ubunt/unity or if empathy uses the ubuntu/unity online account manager for accounts? [08:32] cfhowlett: I can see files there, just not all of them [08:32] guest-1G9P13: if your router is configured to hand out IP address's via DHCP on a different network segment, then NAT wont work for your class a address.. because it would be on an entirely different network segment [08:33] fried0, priority: save your /home files. Lost files are (probably) lost. Up to you how much time/effort you want to expend trying to get them back. [08:33] cfhowlett: I can not seem to see the files I recovered that are filling the space I need [08:33] fried0, copy what you can see to a /usb [08:33] ok, setting up samba shares is a lot easier than I remember it being these days... [08:33] than could I have the DHCP of the router set to use class A? [08:33] guest-1G9P13: do you have ANY practical purpose to use a Class A address? they are usually reserved for very large networks [08:34] cfhowlett: I got video files here etc. You are suggesting no small thing. How about helping me delete the files so that I can try logging into my current HDD ubuntu? [08:34] fried0, or ever burn them to a CD. Then install a supported version of ubuntu. I suggest you set up a dedicated /home partition. Keeps /home data from getting wiped on reinstall [08:34] cfhowlett: can I say ( even vaguely that ) xubuntu 12.04 would be still faster ( less resource hungry) than lucid gnome ( for same apps on both ) . I just want to get a very rough idea [08:34] Wouldn't it be moer secure? [08:34] fried0, easy enough. sudo rm -r (file to be deleted name) [08:35] guest-1G9P13: no [08:35] cfhowlett: Please don't give up on recovering my current installation before you have even tried [08:35] Vivekananda, no question that xfce is less hungry than gnmoe [08:35] due to persons would not think it would be class A [08:35] guest-1G9P13: it's no more secure then any other local ip range [08:35] cfhowlett: and how do I make said files visible? and how can I sudo outside of the installation? [08:36] fried0, wait 1 [08:36] cfhowlett: I am comparing xfce 12 with gnome 10 ( if you noticed already!! I hope ) [08:36] guest-1G9P13: the only real benefit i can think of is millions of IP's vs hundreds of IP's [08:38] ok.., than I won't [08:38] cfhowlett: Hmm, found the files, some of them at least I guess they weren't hidden, but I am still stuck with out to sudo/delete files outside of the HDD OS [08:39] on my Start ip address it says 192.168.1.100 i can change the last 4, what would be the pros of doing that? [08:39] also, I can't figure out how to open a terminal in unity [08:40] fried0, are your /home in a dedicated parition? [08:40] *partition* [08:40] guest-1G9P13: the last 4? [08:40] ya [08:40] you mean 3 [08:40] cfhowlett: I don't think so, I think it is on the same as the OS [08:40] yes sorry [08:40] fried0, and this is an ubuntu only box? [08:40] not dual boot [08:40] cfhowlett: correct [08:41] cfhowlett: though I do have windows on a disk and could try to set up a duelboot [08:41] fried0, ok, let's not just yet ... [08:41] guest-1G9P13: convenience i suppose.. [08:41] ok [08:42] fried0, can you copy those files to a safe place? CD/USB??? [08:42] does the Subnet Mask have to stay the same or can I change it? [08:42] guest-1G9P13: for instance.. my network is 172.20.192.1/28 [08:42] ah ok [08:43] hi guys! i cannot enter BIOS on a IdeaPad Z560...is there any solution? [08:43] 172? [08:43] guest-1G9P13: 255.255.255.240 only allows 13 IP's limiting the amount of computers able to connect [08:43] how would I limit it to 4? [08:43] guest-1G9P13: so my router is 172.20.192.1 and the ip range starts at .2 and ends at .14 [08:44] guest-1G9P13: ummm.. IIRC your subnet would need to be 255.255.255.252 (I think) [08:44] genteor: that's not ubuntu related [08:45] genteor: yeah... contact support.lenovo.com (us Ubuntu folks won't have a clue). [08:45] guest-1G9P13: actually that might only allow 2 address's [08:45] cfhowlett: I could make a new partition, (not all my HDD is claimed by one) and put them onto there. But that would be complicated as that which I need to preserve are in different locations, some of which are unknown. I might also forget some data I wish to preserve. [08:46] cfhowlett: Are you still working on a way to delete those files outside of the OS? [08:46] fried0, were it me and I was data loss averse, I would first back up the most critical stuff some way somehow ... [08:46] guest-1G9P13: not sure if you can get just 4.. so 255.255.255.248 will give you 6 address's.. 1 for the router and 5 to serve [08:46] 255.255.252.0 is for 4 class c addresses [08:46] fried0, saving a system as you've described is beyond my skills. / [08:47] cfhowlett: The solution to all of this might simply be to delete the files cramming the system HDD, but how can I do that? [08:47] guest-1G9P13: well technically 3, cause your router needs 1, so you'll have 3 to hand out [08:47] i mean partition [08:48] fried0, if you know which files are system files and which are not, you could rm the files you no wonder need [08:48] ok [08:48] cfhowlett: I know what files I wish to delete, and I know they are not system files, but how can I "rm" them? [08:49] cfhowlett: I want to get a stable system and create a back up for root so that I can restore it if something corrupts. I want to make it so that even when I format the drive the backup , when restored gives me the entire OS as it is now. Possible ? [08:49] how many does the standard 255.255.255.0 offer? [08:49] fried0, so a system restore like windows does. Yes, possible but I've never done it... [08:50] Vivekananda: second sentence didn't make sense [08:50] guest-1G9P13: 255 [08:50] Vivekananda, I understand that the new Dell's have that option built in [08:50] cfhowlett: You lost me, how can I delete these files? [08:50] fried0, fire up a terminal and a file browser [08:51] cfhowlett: I mentioned before that I don't know how under unity [08:52] fried0, open the dash and type terminal ... doesn't the super (windows) key bring up dash?? [08:52] !recovery [08:52] To rescue a broken system, boot the alternate install CD and select "Rescue a broken system" [08:52] !recovery|fried0, [08:52] fried0,: please see above [08:52] cfhowlett: OK got a terminal window. But my issue is not directly recovery, but deleting files outside of the OS [08:53] aeon-ltd: I meant that I want to create not just a file / folder back up but a back up the OS so it can be restored or moved to other machines and can work like an OS without having to Install an OS [08:54] cfhowlett: I doubt my USB OS can rescue the broken system when the issue is lack of room on the partition [08:54] Vivekananda: your talking about a disk image [08:54] *you're [08:54] fried0, try to recover your system with that ubottu link --- safer to do that prior to point and shoot deletions [08:54] cfhowlett: The files I wish to delete are absolutely safe to do so, I just need to know how to do so! [08:54] Vivekananda: remastersys or clonezilla can do something like that, but depending on your system they can be small or large [08:55] fried0, OK to get a terminal see http://complete-concrete-concise.com/ubuntu-2/ubuntu-11-10-how-to-get-a-command-line-shell-or-terminal [08:55] cfhowlett: I said I got a terminal window [08:55] so... anyone else having problems adding facebook accounts to empathy? [08:56] hi, i have some help question. I already have w7 installed on my notebook , and as i have a lot of space (1TB hdd) decided to install and ubuntu 12.10 in order for dual boot. While choosing install option i choosed third one, cause first was restarting notebook ,and second didnt work for me. I installed Ubuntu on cleared partition ext4, and when installation finished i clicked restart as it wanted. Then [08:56] i couldnt boot into Ubuntu, after some search i decided to install easyBCD, and I managed to add Ubuntu in booting option. Now on boot, i have to choose between w7 and ubuntu, and when i selecet ubuntu , i get grub cmd. I type boot, but it says "Kernel have to be loaded before boot". Please Help me , I donk know what to do now. [08:56] cfhowlett: Now what? [08:56] fried0, sudo rm (drag and drop file name here from the explorer windows) [08:56] l057c0d3r: i had no issues adding mine [08:56] lol [08:56] wiggmpk: how long ago was it added [08:56] l057c0d3r: like a week, maybe 2 [08:56] i've added on on this computer in the past and it worked [08:56] and i did it a week ago [08:57] aeon-ltd: does dd do something similar ? [08:57] anyone has any idea, when i log into ubuntu (with login disabled), i get a popup that my login keyring didn't get unlocked and that i should enter my password? [08:57] but then my brother went to add one on his account today.. and instead of opening in the online account manager.. the account manager opened a browser [08:57] Vivekananda: yes but you'd have to have something equal to the size of the volume you're copying so you can copy it back [08:57] i thought this was a fluke.. so i grabbed my sisters computer and tried on hers.... and it did the same thing... im thinking maybe facebook changed something [08:58] then popped in a live cd and tried on it.. same thing.. [08:58] l057c0d3r: how are you trying to add it? walk me through the steps [08:58] well for starters were all running gnome3 [08:58] Vivekananda: or at least equal to the size of the partitions you want to back up [08:58] but i tried same way i added my origional account.. [08:59] cfhowlett: I got a result which was no surprise to me, PERMISSION DENIED! for deleting the file [08:59] opened online account manager.. clicked facebook.. clicked add account... [08:59] anyone? [08:59] fried0, sudo rm then [08:59] cfhowlett: I DID! [08:59] but now insetad of opening in the account manager.. it opens the default browser.... and when you log in.. you get a sucess message on the website.. but since its not in the online account manager.. its not passed on.. so account is never added [09:00] uninstalled all the browsers.. and tried again.. and odd thing.. it opened abiword instead [09:00] l057c0d3r: i just removed mine and re-added it, without any issues [09:00] cfhowlett: Isn't that what you just suggested "sudo rm" you say it like it was a new suggestion [09:00] are u using unity?? [09:00] l057c0d3r: never ever ever ever ever [09:00] so you have gnome 3 [09:00] so you have gnome 3/ [09:01] err sorry didn't mean to double post [09:01] l057c0d3r: GNOME Shell 3.4.1 [09:01] fried0, I agree this is frustrating. Let's take a break to clear the mind. [09:01] wiggmpk... [09:01] so it opned the add account in your online account manager [09:01] cfhowlett: I used sudo rm and dragged and dropped a file to be deleted (it wouldn't let me delete the directory itself) and it gave permission denied. It won't let me sudo because I am not logged into the OS the file is under [09:01] well wtf [09:01] why is it opening in a browser on all the computers here [09:02] l057c0d3r: i hit the plus sign.. asked me for my login credentials and then added [09:02] did you install ubuntu/unity first... and then installed gnome.. [09:02] or did u use gnome remix / other way like mini install gnome [09:02] howdy ubuntu fans [09:02] l057c0d3r: did you allow access on facebook? [09:02] cfhowlett How long of a break were you thinking? [09:03] hi, i have some help question. I already have w7 installed on my notebook , and as i have a lot of space (1TB hdd) decided to install and ubuntu 12.10 in order for dual boot. While choosing install option i choosed third one, cause first was restarting notebook ,and second didnt work for me.

Please Help me , I donk know what to do now. [09:03] wiggmpk yes.. i've used it before... [09:03] l057c0d3r: i still have Unity installed, I just dont use it.. im on 12.04.2 [09:03] question: when upgrading (12.04/12.10 for example) is it generally a better idea to do a fresh install or would I be wasting my time/effort? [09:03] hmm. [09:03] Milos__, tryingwith wubi and restore grub? or try it live-cd instead [09:03] l057c0d3r: try logging into facebook and removing access to "Gnome" in your apps section [09:04] lifebird64, consider for lts or normal release imo [09:04] Milos__: nort a direct solution, but i think you should start again on installing ubuntu, keep win7 as it is though. [09:04] right.. tried that already [09:04] Anyone able to help? http://paste.ubuntu.com/5557447/ [09:04] wiggmpk.. when you clicked the add button.. did it popup login information in the online account manager or a browser [09:04] because mine pops up in a browser... [09:04] l057c0d3r: did you try opening empathy and adding the account via empathy and no "Online Accounts" [09:04] If I could just delete these files, I think everything would work again [09:04] nearst: thx [09:05] yeah.. but when i open empathy and click add account.. it just opens the online accounts menu [09:05] l057c0d3r: it asked in the online account manager, no browser was opened [09:05] fried0, i think u gonna chroot your ubuntu hdd and repair grub for that in case [09:05] aeon-ltd: i tried re-install many times, but when i click restar , and i not pull usb stick from pc, it takes me back on install menu [09:05] hmm.. in the ubuntu online account manager i can add a facebook account and it works fine.. but it only works with gwibber [09:06] l057c0d3r: it should be titled "Messaging and VoIP Accounts" [09:06] nearst: i dont know how to start wubi from grub [09:06] im use facebook with command line. more betterim guess [09:06] right right.... [09:06] nearst: I didn't understand that, but I don't think it is a matter of the OS being broken, that no repair is necessary, it just doesn't have the space it needs in order to boot [09:06] Milos__, than worth a shot with start from usb [09:07] fried0, df -h [09:07] nearst: I don't know what that means [09:08] nearst: so when i boot pc with usb> try linux witout installing - and then what? [09:08] well i right click the empathy in top bar.. since empathy has no menu bar on here.. and click accounts because its the only option there [09:08] and online accounts opens [09:08] click faceboot and then the plus sign.. and bamn.. web browser opens [09:08] sigh.... [09:08] try F4, should be under the Edit menu [09:09] it was working a few days ago.. what happened. [09:09] wiggmpk: Are you able to help? http://paste.ubuntu.com/5557447/ [09:09] i open empathy and hit f4 and online account manager opens [09:10] l057c0d3r: weird [09:10] and this is a fresh install [09:10] just installed it today because of this issue [09:10] and its the second install today [09:10] tried with the gnome remix.. got this error [09:11] tried with mini install and from term.. sudo apt-get install ubuntu-gnome-desktop ubuntu-gnome-default-settings [09:11] same issue [09:11] Milos__, http://howtoubuntu.org/how-to-repair-restore-reinstall-grub-2-with-a-ubuntu-live-cd/ [09:11] maybe i should just install ubuntu/unity install.. and then see if i can add my account from unity.. and then install gnome :-p [09:12] maybe it has something to do with 12.10? [09:12] fried0, look your available free space by df -h in terminal [09:12] brb [09:13] Sore [09:13] Hallow [09:13] Selamat sore? [09:13] Pada gak jawab [09:13] ak91, english spoken here ... [09:13] fried0: sorry friend.. I would suggest backing up all your important files and reinstalling.. [09:13] http://paste.ubuntu.com/5557528/ [09:14] wiggmpk no idea how I might delete a few files? [09:14] nearst: fried0, look your available free space by df -h in terminal [09:14] well im going to try a few more things.... im about to give up and go to pidgin.. [09:15] fried0: see what's taking up all the space first [09:15] wiggmpk: I know how much free space I have, ZERO! So looking that up is pointless, I just need to know how to delete files! [09:15] Ok. Sory. [09:15] Introduce [09:15] but i loved how empathy was built into the shell.. was nice being able to chat with people from the popup rather then opening a window [09:15] wiggmpk: I know what is taking up space!

Does that mean loading to command prompt? [09:17] blah [09:18] aeon-ltd: I don't see what that has to do with deleting files [09:18] fried0: personally I would think it would be easier for you (no disrespect) to boot from a LiveCD and backup everything to a flash drive or external hard drive and just reinstall [09:19] http://www.mircscripts.org/comments.php?cid=2799 [09:19] http://www.mircscripts.org/comments.php?cid=2799 [09:19] GeRMaN0000: Please don't flood; use http://paste.ubuntu.com to paste; don't use Enter as punctuation.

" what does it mean, outside of the chroot? And by shell, does it mean terminal? [09:24] anyone help me trouble shoot my graphics card problems too ? [09:25] aeon-ltd: It says "Install the dchroot and debootstrap packages. " but how do I do that? [09:25] fried0: yes in a terminal, outside of the chroot would be whatever you're booted into but not the hdd [09:27] aeon-ltd: It says "Install the dchroot and debootstrap packages. " but how do I do that? [09:28] fried0: gonna be honest here, i've never done it where i've had to do that. i've only done chroot by this https://wiki.archlinux.org/index.php/Change_Root [09:28] Anyone know? [09:29] fried0: if you are booted into a device you can write to just apt-get those packages [09:30] aeon-ltd: This seems very different then the other page you gave me, which one should I use? [09:30] aeon-ltd: Please think of me as stupid for a second and tell me how to apt-get those packages for install [09:30] especially, under unity [09:30] which is major confusing [09:31] fried0: sudo apt-get install dchroot debootstrap [09:31] the arch docs assume you know sime fundamentals. [09:31] aeon-ltd: "E: Unable to locate package dchroot" [09:33] fried0: screw the chroot idea. have you tried something basic like using a livecd to work on the volume? [09:33] it was able to find and install debootstrap though [09:33] aeon-ltd: I am working off a live USB at this moment [09:34] aeon-ltd: but it won't give me permission to delete files from the OS HDD [09:34] er partition [09:35] aeon-ltd: http://paste.ubuntu.com/5557528/ [09:36] aeon-ltd: So I guess that brings us back to chroot? [09:37] dr_willis: Are you able to help? [09:37] fried0: how did you recover files and how was it interrupted? [09:38] aeon-ltd: The program was called photo-something (can't recall second part of the name) and its recovery process was interrupted when the HDD ran out of space [09:38] I mean partition [09:41] fried0: is it currently mounted? can you read off the partition?

[09:50] nibbler: you could summarize the problem a bit more.. most people dont automatically go to every paste url postedd.

[09:55] aeon-ltd: I guess so, I drag and drop files to the command [09:55] to the terminal [09:56] err.. dont be drag/dropping.. use just the terminal [09:57] dr_willis why? That makes things more difficult for me [09:58] fried0: learn the shell... you are most likely adding to our support help confusion [09:58] dr_willis: OK I changed to the directory (by dropping and dragging) in terminal, but if I don't drop and drag the files still, it seems like it will be difficult [09:58] back. hi ppl [09:58] Ben64: seriously?

Is there harm at all? Or are you just using me in your rail against point and click? [10:00] fried0: so you just want to delete some mpg files/ or what are we doing exactly [10:00] fried0: touch test.txt [10:00] then do that, post the output here [10:00] fried0: i imagine your dragdriooiung somehow launched the file.. using 'rm filename' is NOT supposed to start the video player [10:00] dr_willis: I need to delete some files, yes http://paste.ubuntu.com/5557528/ [10:00] hi [10:01] aeon-ltd: "touch: cannot touch `test.txt': Permission denied" [10:01] followed by the directory path I was in [10:01] Feb 23 10:51:27 ubuntu kernel: [ 941.962661] glxgears[3546]: segfault at fffffffc ip b6c5d29f sp bfeff940 error 4 in libdrm_nouveau.so.2.0.0[b6c5b000+6000] [10:01] nibbler: yep [10:03] dr_willis: Well anyway, the fact remains, the live USB I am running from isn't allowing me the permission I need to delete the files I need from the OS on partition so that I can boot it again [10:03] fried0: this is my last idea, it's going to be unmounting the hdd then remounting with rw [10:04] aeon-ltd: Why would that help with permissions? And what about that chroot thing? [10:04] aeon-ltd: You said it would give me permission, wouldn't that be perfect then for this problem? [10:04] fried0: you need to use sudo rights to do things.. does 'sudo touch test.txt' work? [10:04] ^ this first [10:05] dr__willis lack of sudo rights IS the problem [10:05] fried0: if you are on a live cd.. you do have sudo rights [10:05] you are not using the installed system. you are just accessing its files.. [10:05] fried0: on unencrypted systems this works [10:05] dr_willis: Apparently not [10:05] this is on an encrypted home? [10:06] dr_willis: I don't recall ever encrypting it, so I suspect not [10:06] so does 'sudo touch file.txt' work ? [10:06] dr_willis: But how do you explain how sudo doesn't ask for my password or give me permission? No it says I lack permission [10:07] fried0: on the live CD/USB, sudo is probably configured not to ask for a password [10:07] fried0: sudo on the LIVE CD does not ask for a password.. [10:07] It isn't giving me permission anyway [10:07] fried0: try as a test 'sudo touch /testfile.txt' [10:08] if there was a hd failure/issue/ or filesystgtem curruption the data drive could be getting mounted read only, [10:09] dr_willis: it gave me no message when I put that, it just went to a fresh command prompt [10:09] fried0: that maens it worked. ;) [10:09] i got a real job to do.. be back in a little bit... [10:09] fried0: were you in the hdd when you did that? [10:09] yes [10:09] then it works [10:09] in a path in the HDD in terminal [10:10] so how do I use that to delete files? [10:10] now delete that file [10:10] fried0: sudo rm testfile.txt [10:11] aeon-ltd: rm: cannot remove `testfile.txt': No such file or directory [10:12] So apparently it didn't work, if the previous command was to make a file [10:12] not that there is any space to do so [10:12] fried0: do 'ls -a' is testfile listed? === Stan is now known as Guest28236 [10:12] there are too many files in this directory to check [10:13] There is a second partition as well, and I also seem to lack permission in it too [10:13] fried0: use tab completion to find it [10:13] judging by how send to recycling is grayed out on all files [10:14] fried0: did you jus tell him to touch /testfile.txt that would put it in / [10:14] dr_willis: ^^^^^^^^^^ [10:14] aeon-ltd: No testfile [10:14] fried0: ls /testfile.txt [10:14] no such file [10:14] if you did what histo said, we've made no progress [10:15] it didnt make it, despite the lack of message [10:16] fried0: not even in /? [10:16] aeon-ltd: where is that? [10:16] the highest directory [10:17] aeon-ltd: so where I am when I click on the partition? [10:17] no it'll be in whatever you booted into [10:18] fried0: How did you mount your hard drive? [10:18] i give up, someone else here can assist on the chroot or remount idea [10:18] aeon-ltd: I don't understand what you mean, but I tried making the file in different locations, and it never appeared [10:18] histo: it automounted when I booted from live usb [10:19] histo: Do you think unmounting and remounting might give me my sudo permissions somehow? [10:19] fried0: Okay I came in late are you trying to recover files off this drive?

Grazie! (per entrare, scrivi « /join #ubuntu-it » senza virgolette) [10:23] fried0: the other option maybe sudo chroot /media/1e8ea1f1-4065-414b-8724-c23425fe903e and then once you are there sudo apt-get clean should free up quite a bit of space. [10:23] fried0: You shouldn't get errors the disk is mounted rw [10:23] histo: the issue is that it isn't giving me permissions that I need to delete any files [10:24] fried0: please try sudo chroot command above. Let me know if it dumps you back to a prompt without error [10:25] histo: It sent me to this prompt "root@ubuntu:/#" [10:25] fried0: okay now apt-get clean [10:25] fried0: that will remove downloaded cached packages that are stored on the disk. [10:25] histo: rather, I know what files I want to remove, I don't need clean to decide, anyway they are files clean is unlikely to decide should be removed [10:26] histo: anyway, I recently did a clean, there is nothing left to clean out [10:26] fried0: right clean only removes files from /var/cache/apt [10:26] fried0: df -h will show you how much freespace there is.

[10:28] fried0: also you can remove old kernels with apt-get purge [10:28] so removeing some other files then those video files may help [10:28] how do I install pastebin and how do I run that command with pastebin? [10:28] dr_willis thanks as usual want to give it a try on my nexus 4 they have a cradle for the device. :) [10:28] Anyway, that command simply said what I already knew, 100% on everything [10:28] fried0: don't install anything now. Since you are chroot it will try and install on the root of your hard drive you are tryign to remove files from [10:29] fried0: you can copy and paste it.

[10:35] histo seen that i can chroot the ubuntu experience to tf300 or Arch Linux. Just not a fan of that much work. Been there done that with arch linux installs. Just a matter of time before someone comes up with a bootloader. [10:36] histo: http://paste.ubuntu.com/5557528/ [10:36] Much of it is video files [10:36] animes, [10:36] histo: But that doesn't works. [10:36] the rest was filled with the photorec data recovery [10:36] asustf300: pretty much. The issue is having the ability to install a bootloader and drivers for your hardware in your android device. It's going to be a rocky road for a while. They are only really devving for one phone right now. [10:37] santosh: what are you trying to do with find ?? just print? [10:37] histo oh you mean to / specifically? I guess photorec [10:37] histo: Yes, the paths matching 'mysearchstring' [10:37] fried0: are you booted from the flash drive at the moment? [10:37] histo no big deal started with linux in 1994 and look how far we have come. :P Anyway to buy a ubuntu tv?

[10:40] fried0: ok, the mount command will tell me what permissions the drive is mounted with [10:40] santosh: you should also 'foo' sorry forgot the qoutes [10:40] asustf300: because you want a produce thaats not even out yet? ;) [10:40] bodsda: is the ' part of the command/is that one string? Or are each a separate command? [10:40] dr_willis: I don't know what that means [10:41] fried0: no just rm /path/to/files/you/want/deleted [10:41] fried0: eacha separate command [10:41] fried0: that means a through check of the filesystem.. which may be part of the whole issue.. because sudo rm file should not be givine permission denied erorss on a rw partition [10:41] fried0: you dont fsck a mounted filesystem however.. [10:41] histo you mean just rm with no sudo, while in root? [10:41] dr_willis not even out yet was shown off at ces 2012 for tv and just this year ces 2013 for the phone! What you mean doesn't exsist? [10:41] dr_willis: Who knows what he was actually typing he was copying an pasting [10:41] fried0: yes [10:42] fried0: if you want to delete a directory you will have to use rm -rf /path/to/directory BE VERY CAREFULL with this [10:42] asustf300: what you mean you are suprised at hardware previews that never come out? wheres my Amiga Based Set top box? ;) wheres my Raspbery Pi.. oh wait.. i got 2 of those.. ;P [10:42] asustf300: i will belive in the ubuntu phone.. when i can go buy one. same for the ubuntu tv.

I have to drop and drag, there are way too many random characters involved not to [10:44] heheheh: when in doubt. make backups [10:44] heheheh: yes, and always a chance [10:44] neirpyc: msg alis list *ubuntu*mac* [10:44] fried0: you still havent understood the use of the tab key? [10:44] fried0: there are no more random characters you are on the / of you drive no more /media/1sxlkclvjkzxcl;vkjal;sdkgasl;dkg [10:44] both in the path, and file names [10:45] how to make backup in ubuntu [10:45] fried0: did you run photorec in your home? [10:45] !backup | heheheh [10:45] heheheh: There are many ways to back your system up. Here's a few: https://help.ubuntu.com/community/BackupYourSystem , https://help.ubuntu.com/community/DuplicityBackupHowto , https://wiki.ubuntu.com/HomeUserBackup , https://help.ubuntu.com/community/MondoMindi - See also !sbackup and !cloning [10:45] and what actually get backup ? [10:45] !backup | heheheh [10:45] heheheh: however you want - rsync, cp, tar .. etc [10:45] heheheh: what you tell it to [10:46] whta's the benefit of the latest version ? what get improved ? [10:46] heheheh: dejadupe I think was one. === codemaniac is now known as fego [10:46] histo: I you said rm then the path to the file I want to remove, and that path contains crazy random characters, and so do the files I wish to remove [10:46] heheheh: updated packages [10:46] heheheh: ? has always been ? nothing improved [10:46] fried0: tab completion [10:46] fried0: please use tab to autocomplete the path. Because obviously your copy and paste is wrong if the file isn't there. [10:47] heheheh watch a youtube video it will speak a thousand words by a single video. [10:47] fried0: if they are in your home. I would cd /home/fried0 then you will see the photorec recup_dir's there [10:47] histo: I'm guessing he's already chrooted? [10:47] fried0: I have to go but good luck others can help you as your entire issue is do to the incorrect path [10:47] bodsda: yes I helped him do that [10:48] cool [10:48] and I will need to move to the directory path the files are in as well, right? Well that also contains crazy random characters, and tab isn't autocompleting those [10:48] bodsda: I have to go if you can help explain. [10:48] histo: sure thing [10:48] histo, thanks. Only channel on here is dead though. =( [10:48] drag and drop will NOT work into a chrooted terminal [10:48] fried0: if you could give an example of your crazy random numbers path? I think you are still thinking of /media/1a;lkjxczl;kvjhal;skdhfgl;askdjfgasl;kdfj which doesn't exist right now that you are chrooted [10:48] the / is different [10:48] how do I list directories? [10:48] fried0: ls [10:49] bbl [10:49] fried0: please run the following command and pastebin the output (I need the line that includes the command your running as well -- ls -lah [10:49] Hi, just configured IPv6 on my Ubuntu server but when I try to ping external addresses it tries to ping from my Scope:Link address instead of the Scope:Global address. Does anyone know what might cause this? [10:49] bodsda: he's probably still in / of the chrooted /dev/sda1 which is 100% full so he's trying to delete some recup_dir.1/foo files he filed up his drive with. [10:49] have to go [10:50] well good night check back in 2 months see if ubuntu has released either the tv or the phone 0S Good Night :P [10:50] histo: no problem - I just need to find where he is and where the files are first === jacky is now known as Guest66824 [10:53] fried0: If you don't paste the output we won't be able to help you [10:54] histo: bodsda dr_willis OK I have managed to delete a file from root, but I am not sure [10:54] not sure if what? [10:55] of. [10:55] I navigated to the directory, I put rm file name, first time I do so, it goes back to prompt, second time it says the file doesn't exist. [10:55] So that suggests I did manage to delete it, yet my free space still says 0 [10:55] rounding... [10:55] fried0: that sounds positive - but a single file won't make much difference - can you paste the output I asked for please [10:56] start deleting junk [10:56] ;) [10:56] bodsda: That just gives a long list of the files in that directory [10:57] fried0: I know - but if you also show me what directory your in we will be able to give you a better idea of how to free ther space up [10:57] dr_willis: OK so how can I delete more files at a time, BTW, tab complete is nearly worthless, too many files all starting with the same characters [10:57] fried0: wildcards -- rm /some/path/thestartoffiles* [10:57] so rhey start the same.... so what [10:57] fried0: what files are you deleting? [10:58] Ben64: http://paste.ubuntu.com/5557528/ [10:58] fried0: thats nice, doesn't really answer the question though [10:59] heh [10:59] bodsda how do I mass delete everything in the directory? [10:59] what directory [10:59] fried0: assuming your in the directory -- rm ./* [10:59] just rm the directory [10:59] could be very dangerous ^ [11:00] rm -r thedir [11:00] but i guess if you like being enigmatic, thats the best solution [11:00] Ben64: for info - it's a photorec dir that's filled the disk, he's chrooted in atm [11:01] rm -i asks befor removeing [11:01] dr_willis: will be kind of annoying for a dir with thousands of items :) [11:01] it'd just be nice to know the directory === Vampire0_ is now known as Vampire0 [11:01] rm -i * then hit y [11:01] instead of doing it in /etc or something [11:01] Ben64: tell me about it -- I've been asking for 20 mins [11:01] ;) [11:02] oh well [11:02] Hello. What's the right way to align SSD or flash drive partition? There are too many articles approaching this question in different ways. For example http://linux-howto-guide.blogspot.ru/2009/10/increase-usb-flash-drive-write-speed.html http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?p=16776067 http://blog.oldcomputerjunk.net/2012/fixing-sluggish-write-performance-of-usb-flash-thumb-drives/ blogofterje.wordpress.com/2012/01/14/optimizing- [11:02] fs-on-sd-card/ [11:02] lebdron: gparted [11:02] bbl. [11:02] trying to install 12.04 server from usb keeps asking for CD [11:02] Ben64, but it'll probably waste some space in the beginning [11:02] Spiro: when? [11:03] lebdron: yeah, between 0 and 1MB [11:03] right after language select [11:03] Ok, I have deleted the files, and will now try rebooting, please wish me luck [11:03] fried0: good luck [11:04] Spiro: are you connected to the internet? Did it ask you about software sources? [11:04] driving me mad [11:04] yes connected [11:04] Ben64: My apologize BTW, I just don't understand why you care about the particularities of what kind of files I am removing and the names of the folders involved [11:04] fried0, i think it was more as a precaution [11:05] I may not be the expert that others here are, but I know as much as to know such doesn't matter [11:05] Ben64, so it's the easy way. Is there an "interesting" way? [11:05] fried0: actually, it does matter [11:05] if you enter it right, it doesnt [11:05] Spiro: it's been a while since I did a server install (assume your using the server iso) but did it ask you about software sources? [11:06] bodsda: You think it matters if it is "recup_dir.1" or "recup_dir.2"? [11:06] lebdron: you'd have to read those links you posted [11:06] No I created a bootable usb install [11:06] twice [11:06] fried0: no, but it matters if you're not cd'd to the correct dir and we give you a relative path command instead of an absolute [11:06] I did, they are all different, and I don't seem to follow which one is right. [11:06] Spiro: 12.10? [11:06] there can be issues making a server usb ive seen. === AugustinT_h is now known as autra_h [11:07] hmm.. well come to find out.. after downloading and installing ubuntu/unity [11:07] what is the xchat command to delay connecting [11:07] bodsda: Well I was suppose to directly navigate to the folder anyway [11:07] it was not the gnome online accounts i was having a problem with after all [11:07] 12.04 [11:07] so that you can auto join rooms that require registration? [11:07] it is the ubuntu online accounts... [11:07] Ok, restarting and hoping [11:07] otherwise it dosn't join those rooms because it attempts to join them before logging you in [11:07] lebdron: from a quick glance, they're all right [11:07] i guess the website url that it points to redirects or something.. causing it to show in a browser rather then the online accounts winodw.. [11:08] i was able to get google to open in a browser.. after clicking on a link that would take me away from the login page.. [11:08] that's where i get the redirect idea from === AugustinT_h is now known as autra_h [11:08] there was a problem reading from the cd-rom blah blah blah [11:08] Spiro: only info I can find is asking for a cd when installing packages after the install, not during [11:08] Spiro: check md5 of iso and/or re-make the usb [11:09] wonder if there is a way i can edit the source of uoa.. or just edit the website it uses and have it to go m.facebook.com instead [11:09] since that would fix my issue [11:09] sigh.. i just want to be able to use empathy with facebook again [11:09] and after 5 fresh installs.... and a previous computer still working.. i know its the uoa. [11:10] university of arizona? [11:10] ubuntu online account mangaer [11:10] ubuntu on android? [11:10] oh [11:10] you can edit any source you want [11:10] but thats beyond the scope of this channel [11:11] l00pback: it's probably not what you want, but have you tried out pidgin / thunderbird? It's not going to fix your exact issue, bu tmay be just as functional [11:11] i guess the page it points to for facebook has changed in the last few days.... broke two days ago [11:11] i am able to add my facebook acount in the gnome-online-account mangaer.... however i can not get empathy to see them accounts [11:11] and havent even tried to get gwibber to see them.... [11:12] l057c0d3r: checked bug reports? [11:12] yep.. two other people in the last 13 horus posted the same bug.. no repsonse [11:12] which i under stand [11:12] i second trying another app. pidgin is great with all my chat accounts [11:12] l057c0d3r: unless your going to debug and patch yourself, it looks like you'll have to wait [11:12] takes a min for them to go through and check everything anyway [11:13] i just wish ubuntu notifications could be clicked on [11:13] well already did the debuging.. not to patch [11:13] need to have it directed to m.facebook.com instead.... [11:13] hello [11:14] any reconmendations on where to go to chat about patching the sourcde myself.... [11:14] i know a bit about programming.. and changing a link should be simple enough.. heck fixing gwibber to work with facebook again was a walk in the park.. replace one line with three lines.. good to go [11:15] l057c0d3r: contact the package maintainer or just download the source and have a crack [11:15] . [11:15] hi there [11:16] first time user of ubuntu here :D [11:16] Its me from before with the files that needed deleting, it worked! thankyou guys [11:16] baggis: hi :) [11:16] looks great this but....i have a question [11:16] yown: well done - glad it's fixed [11:16] right but if i patch it myself.. and then they fix it in the futre.. wont i be stuck with the old version? that i patched [11:16] baggis: ask away [11:17] its looks like my wireless will not work... [11:17] heh sorry.. i programmed in windows.. never really had to deal with package mangaers ext [11:17] With those files deleted, it booted just fine, I wonder why it wasn't giving me the permissions though [11:17] i have try to get som howtodo but im not understand it or im stubid :P [11:17] l057c0d3r: yes, but then you just remove the package and reinstall -- or better still, submit your patch [11:17] people thought it must have been corrupted system files, but clearly not [11:18] yown: if the system had no free space, it may have been mounted ro [11:18] bodsda: What is ro? [11:18] right right.... i would love to get involved in helping build the community.. still dont know why they havent patched gwibber with the fix for facebook yet...... it was a simple fix.. figured it would have got added by now [11:18] yown: sorry, read only [11:18] l057c0d3r: submit your patch then [11:19] bodsda: Why would that be? Wouldn't a live USB not need the HDDs space at all? [11:19] look where to do that now bodsda [11:19] yown: I wasn't around to see the specifics of mounting the drive, so can't say for sure [11:20] it's an english chan ? [11:20] l057c0d3r: if you wrote a patch for a package and the bug still exists, then find the package on launchpad, find the related bug and upload your patch - it will then be reviewed, tested and implemented by the maintainers [11:20] moitim: this one is, yes [11:20] bodsda: Nothing to it, it just automounted when the usb flash drive live loaded [11:21] !english | moitim [11:21] moitim: The #ubuntu, #kubuntu and #xubuntu channels are English only. For a complete list of channels in other languages, please visit https://wiki.ubuntu.com/IRC/ChannelList [11:21] ok thanks [11:21] heh k then i was looking in the right place [11:21] yown: without seeing output from 'mount' or looking at fstab I can't say why it mounted read only [11:23] Well, that was a lesson anyway, don't send files from data recover to the same partition your OS uses [11:23] baggis: if you let the channel know what wifi card your using, what happens when you try to connect etc. then someone might be able to help [11:23] yown: haha, yeah, don't fill your / :) [11:23] thanks well its not working at all i think ubuntu do not recognizing it....

[11:35] my pc keeps turning off for no reason! [11:35] Noorideen: there will be a reason [11:36] Noorideen, every time that happens to me, it's heat. When did you last blow the dust out of the video card and cpu heatsinks? [11:36] Noorideen: Sounds like overheating or something like that. [11:36] Seven_Six_Two: :) [11:36] MonkeyDust: I didn't use md5 checksum and how can i do this? [11:36] !md5 | yugandhar [11:36] yugandhar: To verify your Ubuntu ISO image (or other files for which an MD5 checksum is provided), see http://help.ubuntu.com/community/HowToMD5SUM or http://www.linuxquestions.org/linux/answers/LQ_ISO/Checking_the_md5sum_in_Windows [11:36] Seven_Six_Two, aegis ago! [11:37] i will clean it [11:37] Noorideen, temperature rises don't only cause that behaviour, but also shorten the life of the chips substantially. [11:37] Noorideen: ask the mint support, while you are using mint. [11:38] k1l_, i am not using mint [11:38] ok, you were the last times [11:38] yes now, but now i am using ubuntu :P. === alan_ is now known as Guest926 [11:39] Noorideen: then show into the logs what happend before the pc shut down === J22 is now known as guest4866 [11:40] its not dmesg and syslog, but dmesg.0 ans syslog.1 [11:40] k1l_, how can i show the logs? [11:40] in /var/log [11:40] k [11:40] Noorideen, are you on the pc that shuts down? [11:40] Seven_Six_Two, yes [11:40] yugandhar: Which version of Ubuntu are you trying to install, I can see a bug listed for that with some version of ubuntu [11:41] 10.04.4 LTS amd64 bit os [11:41] yugandhar: you are sure you want install 10.04? that support ends in april this year [11:42] yugandhar 10.04 will be !eol in a few weeks from now, better not struggle with it [11:42] yugandhar: This is from a Mint forum, but there's similar comments on the ubuntu forums, have a look at post 11 http://www.linuxquestions.org/questions/linux-mint-84/trying-to-boot-linux-mint-9-from-usb-flash-drive-vesamenu-c32-not-a-com32r-image-829397/ [11:42] Noorideen, I wouldn't waste time with logs when you're risking overheating again, and heat won't show in logs [11:43] Seven_Six_Two, i will clean the dust right now [11:43] Hi there [11:43] Seven_Six_Two, thank you (: [11:43] Noorideen, np. computers are expensive [11:43] Can anyone recomend a good mp4/avi to dvd converter that I can find in the software center. I am new and still having trouble with apt-get installs? [11:44] Seven_Six_Two, true [11:44] I've an annoying problem with my ubuntu 12.04 machine [11:44] yugandhar: What version did you create the usb stick on? was it 10.10 or later [11:44] jdukiet in a terminal, type avconv -i music.mp4 music.avi [11:44] is this the correct way to have support [11:44] ? [11:44] 10.04 LTS amd64 bit OS [11:45] Jnfn: what problem? [11:45] yugandhar 10.04 is an old version, better install something newer [11:45] jdukiet, I like devede [11:45] wow ok mainly gksudo doesn't wor anymore [11:45] the sitation is this [11:46] jdukiet disregard my comment [11:46] ok, But at least it should boot from USB stick. [11:46] jdukiet: devede is an easy to use program [11:46] I use gnome shell with gnome 3 ppa and qseries lts backport ppa [11:46] yugandhar: This one of the threads on the ubuntu forum http://ubuntuforums.org/showthread.php?t=1593656 There's a couple of suggestions in that which may help as well [11:47] Here the problem is why it is not booting from USB stick when i tried to create a bootable USB stick with the Os 10.04 LTS [11:47] Jnfn, can you open a terminal and run gksudo manually? [11:47] I've laready checked everything n forums and so on [11:47] Let me try it DJones [11:48] yeah it opens the box for passwd and then [11:48] it print cannot open display [11:48] !10.4 [11:48] Its 10.04!! [11:48] or even just silently do nothing [11:48] silly bot [11:48] for example [11:49] Jnfn, have you been messing with display variables or something like ssh or Xnest? [11:49] no [11:49] nothing of that [11:49] Jnfn, you're on a local machine, and not a text tty? [11:50] exactly [11:50] Jnfn, in other words, you currently have a gui? [11:50] yed yes [11:50] Jnfn, do you have a multi-head setup? === 16WAAHOCF is now known as paddymahoney [11:51] no just mine account, if I understand well === lux_ is now known as Guest14060 [11:51] your question [11:51] Jnfn, in a terminal, what does "echo $DISPLAY" without quotes, return? Multi-head is more than one display. [11:52] Jnfn, multi-seat might be what you're thinking of. [11:52] :0 [11:53] hi again reboot the system now and hope i fix the wireless now :D thanks again [11:53] Djones: Actually i made a bootable usb stick with 10.04 LTS amd64 bit on ubuntu 11.10 Desktop . is it incompatible? [11:54] MonkeyDust: 10.04 is still supported [11:54] not for long [11:54] hi I have no unity 3d with ubuntu 12.10 even if I do all this. look on the pastebin: http://paste.ubuntu.com/5557881/ [11:54] yugandhar: That looks like where the issue is, the usb creator in 10.10 & afterwards has problems creating 10.04 versions [11:54] Jnfn, what are you trying to run with gksudo? [11:54] there's another strange behaviour like the graphical update manager doesn't ask me a password for updating the system [11:54] !lts | Ben64 [11:54] Ben64: LTS means Long Term Support. LTS versions of Ubuntu will be supported for 3 years on the desktop, and 5 years on the server; with the exception of 12.04 (Precise Pangolin), which will be supported for 5 years on the desktop. The current LTS version of Ubuntu is !Precise (Precise Pangolin 12.04) [11:54] Jnfn: working as intended [11:55] histo: yes i'm quite aware [11:55] everything like gksudo gedit or gksudo nautilus or unetbootin [11:55] Jnfn: what? [11:56] Jnfn, does "gedit" or "sudo gedit" work properly? [11:56] with gksudo gedit it says "cannot open display" with gksudo nautilus and unetbootin it just do anything after the box with passwd is prompted [11:56] any body can see my chat? [11:56] Seven_Six_Two: How woudl a multihead display effect gksu? [11:56] no even sudo gedit it's not working [11:57] Jnfn, what's the output when you try that? [11:57] Any one? [11:57] Jnfn: What groups is your user in? [11:57] histo, the error is about displays, so the answer would be "many ways" [11:57] "cannot open display" but sudo nano works [11:57] for example [11:58] How does root not have permision to :0 [11:58] Jnfn: So sudo xclock [11:58] fails right? [11:58] Jnfn, ok, so you can sudo, but not a gui. do you get errors starting gedit without root privs from terminal? [11:58] thanks that work just fine :D [11:58] histo every groups of an admin acoount === guest-BBMFxN is now known as compare72 [11:59] Jnfn: does sudo xclock fail? [11:59] sst, no errors startig gedit without root privs [12:00] histo yes it fails [12:00] Sterk: Wow that script has horrible english and needs fixed. What ar eyou trying to do? [12:00] Jnfn: echo $DISPLAY [12:00] Ben64: it's :0 [12:00] :0 or :0.0 [12:00] he said :0 earlier [12:00] Jnfn, did you change your hostname? [12:01] shouldn't be just :0 [12:01] no I didn't [12:01] Ben64 it's just :0 [12:01] echo $DISPLAY [12:01] :0 [12:01] is all i get here [12:01] weird [12:02] :0 here === Courtney_ is now known as MsCourtney [12:02] every xorg package is now under -lts-quantal name [12:02] Jnfn: DISPLAY=:0 gksudo xeyes [12:02] histo, I want to run unity 3d, I remenber geforce go 7400/7300 was blacklisted under 11.10 and 12.04 so people ended up with Unity 2D. How can I run Unity 3D or how should I do command line gives correct answer. Opensource nouveau driver under Unity for my card works really crappy. [12:02] I mean an update some days ago changed all xorg packages [12:03] Sterk: you probably don't want unity 3d with that video card [12:03] ben64, silently fail [12:04] Ben64, why? Kwin works perfect with all desktop effects. [12:04] like gksudo nautilus === JoFo_ is now known as JoFo [12:04] Sterk: Do you not want to install nvidia drivers from the repos? [12:05] In the auth.log, what does p[8] mean in this line? u[sally], d[], p[8] [12:06] Sterk: aparently whatever driver is blacklisted according to the that script. [12:06] histo, I did and then added x-swat [12:06] GeForce Go 7400 gets a score of 61 passmarks, about half the performance of a geforce fx 5900 [12:06] to compare to something in this decade, a gtx 550 ti gets 1920 passmarks [12:06] histo, how can I remove the blacklisted? [12:07] Like I said kwin and all desktop effects works smooth, with Ubuntu without closed source nvidia drivers it is crap [12:07] Sterk: did you restart after installing your driver? [12:07] 黑底白色 红色的字 [12:07] histo, yes. [12:08] MonkeyDust: Thank you [12:08] Jnfn, can you install kdesudo and try that? or maybe xdg-su [12:09] I'll try xdg-su maybe has less dependencies [12:09] Sterk: I'm sure there is a reason it's blacklisted but you can check /etc/modprobe.d/blacklist.conf [12:09] !cn | twovs [12:09] twovs: 如欲獲得中文的協助，請輸入 /join #ubuntu-cn 或 /join #ubuntu-tw [12:10] k1l_: How can you tell he's typing in chinese [12:10] Seven_Six_Two: Yeah, I am trying that out now. Thanks [12:11] there's no xdg-su [12:11] histo, http://paste.ubuntu.com/5557904/ [12:11] histo: you have online translators, :) [12:11] Just a note about your cn factoid: It uses traditional characters that are not necessarily understood by Chinese people. They are commonly used in Taiwan and Hongkong though, but people from China might have problems reading it. [12:11] Sterk: what module is currently loaded for your card? [12:12] Let me know if you need help to change it to simplified characters. [12:12] ok it's in xdg-utils [12:12] ? [12:12] histo, lsmod? [12:12] Sterk: lspci -k [12:12] babilen: can you explain that in #ubuntu-ops ? [12:12] no it's not [12:13] histo, http://paste.ubuntu.com/5557908/ [12:14] kdesudo requires half of kde!! [12:14] k1l_: Sure, no problem. [12:14] how to get xdg-su? [12:14] is there such a thing ? [12:14] !find xdg-su [12:14] Found: libpam-xdg-support === heidelfuchs is now known as foxi [12:14] Sterk: You are using the nvidia driver does unity not work? [12:14] i dont think there is a xdg-su command [12:16] I don't think too there's no xdg-su command [12:16] hi guys. need some help. im gonna to download iso of ubuntu(ubuntu.12.04.amd64.iso),its ok im downloading,but there are also file like ubuntu.12.04.amd64.list/metalink/manifest - is they are needed?and what they are - also will read with great pleasure links given from u :) [12:17] ok, so while I have someones ear, maybe you can answer something else. I used the my unity config app to tweak my theme. problem is when I reboot the machine, my clock and username disasappear from the desktop. I am still able to select them, they are just not visable. I'm running 12.04 LTS [12:17] histo, Unity works :), but command line /usr/lib/nux/unity_support_test -p says Unity 3D supported: no [12:17] maemo900: nope you just need the iso. You can verify it with md5sum after it's downloaded and compare to the md5 hash on the website [12:18] Sterk: Perhaps there are errors in the script? Who knows you'd have to look at it and see what it's doing to find out why. [12:18] got it to install, thanks for the help [12:18] hii [12:18] Sterk: actually it's a binary file [12:19] is there another way to debug? [12:19] how come openssh instructions say to rename id_rsa to authorized_keys? what is the point of adding your own priv key to the authorized ones? [12:19] Sterk: I would look at filing a bug. I'm not sure why it's reporting blacklisted when it isn't. [12:19] thanks bodsda and Ben64 [12:19] histo, im downloading from ubuntu site, is there need to check with md5 & [12:19] ? [12:20] maemo900: yes to confirm your download is correct and isn't messed upl. [12:20] I had to edit the md5 [12:20] histo, maybe I should, I want :) better experience with 13.04. [12:21] histo ok, thanx a lot [12:21] for example pkexec works smothley [12:21] Sterk: aare you using 13.04 now? [12:21] for the programs it was intended to [12:22] histo, no, 12.10 [12:22] Sterk: Well the app works here as expected but I have a different card. [12:22] histo, is it possible to make the icon-size 30? [12:22] Sterk: which icons? [12:22] but if I try pkexec gedit it says cannot open display [12:23] dr_willis, unity-launcher icon-size or launcher-size [12:23] Sterk: the left side panel icons can go from 36 to 24 i recall. [12:23] one of the setting tools or tweak tools has a slider [12:24] dr_willis, I have unity tweak tool [12:24] :( I cannot [12:24] it's pretty weird [12:24] ubuntu-tweak [12:24] dosent even run here.. unsettings has the same setting [12:25] slider from 32 to 64 [12:25] dr_willis, should I try unsetting instead or will it give me same result has unity-tweak-tool? [12:25] Sterk: system settings > appearance adjust the slider at the bottom. [12:25] how could i know that.. ;) [12:26] histo, yes only 32 :). [12:26] unity-tweak-tool also fails to run for me [12:26] Sterk: the min is 32 [12:27] so guess you cant do it [12:27] dr_willis, :( damn I want smaller then 32 [12:27] Sterk: check askubuntu.com there might be a gconf setting. [12:27] i dont see how 2 pixles matter [12:28] dr_willis, :) help me find it, I have google but not found anything useful. [12:30] !list [12:30] Pinuccia: No warez here!

[12:48] jrib it is supposed to make sense to someone who also knows Linux at least as an average user [12:48] melodie: they might not know linux, but they should be able to critique your grammar and word choice for example [12:49] there are only a few lines, wouldn't you take a look ? [12:49] jrib never mind, I just asked to a buddy on the #unitylinux chan [12:55] aarfer: what directions are y ou referring to? i said that. wrong, i meant the ....pub file. but i understand it now. thanks though.

[13:10] ubuntu607 what exactly hangs? [13:11] ubuntu607 you push the button and it hangs? [13:11] the round loading bar keeps turning [13:11] then try not pushing them.. [13:11] the os itself does not hang [13:13] llutz: and where is userlog and operlog? [13:13] i need to push next to install the os, thats the problem [13:15] hi. there is something wrong with my ibus. could someone check it, please: http://ubuntuforums.org/showthread.php?t=2116673 [13:15] Good day. I was wondering whether it's possible to install ubuntu from within a linux system(elementary OS). I would like to wipe off elementary os completaly,leaving only ubuntu in the process. Asking since I don't have access to usb or live cd atm. Thank you [13:17] excito probably you can't, you can only get unity packages on top of the system, I guess === mpmc|Away is now known as mpmc [13:18] any idea? [13:18] excito I know of a solution [13:18] o/ [13:18] I have a M-audio 2496. In pavucontrol with ICE 1712 selected, I see the input volume jump up and down. But I here no audio..What can I do? [13:18] please melodie [13:18] would be much appreciated [13:18] excito you could plugin your hard drive to another machine to make the install [13:19] excito and perhaps one more [13:19] do you have only one primary partition, or more ? [13:19] And how can run ircd-hybrid (installed from repos) as normal user? [13:19] ah,not an option unfortunately. I am pretty isolated with only my pc here melodie :D. Any chance it would be possible to transfer the ubuntu iso to another partition and then somehow boot off it? [13:20] melodie,only one atm. [13:20] Hey Guys :) I have a Problem with my Server. It seems that some ips are spamming my server and i want to kick ip that have more than a specific amount of requests per minute.. how could i do that? [13:20] excito if you have only one partition there is no solution [13:20] melodie,can I create another partition somehow? [13:20] if you have an iso inside and boot to it, then if you format the hard drive you will not be able to use the iso you booted from anymore [13:21] excito you can if you have a usb boot or cd boot, or pxe boot then you would need another machine [13:22] excito you might want to try to boot from a Parted Magic iso, if you know how to make a boot from iso. [13:22] where could i ask to get help? [13:22] so if i hit next, ubuntu doesnt go further [13:22] melodie,know idea. Would using gparted and creating another partition help? [13:23] excito if then Parted magic installs itself to ram, and if the machine has more than 512 MB ram... [13:23] no idea* [13:23] excito you can't format partitions which are mounted. [13:23] 3gb ddr3,but the video card also shares the ram [13:23] I see. [13:23] When updating using update-manager, I'm getting a hash sum mismatch on http://de.archive.ubuntu.com/ubuntu/pool/main/l/linux/linux-image-3.2.0-38-generic_3.2.0-38.61_amd64.deb . Same on gb.archive.ubuntu.com . Is it just me? [13:23] when i type win-c,i want to it effects like typing ctrl-c.how can i do? [13:23] this would distroy the content, this is why you are in front of a "no-go" unless you can get all the content of an ISO in the RAM [13:24] LOL [13:24] excito look at Parted Magic if you can find a way to boot it to ram from an iso. this is the only method I see that could help you get out of trouble [13:24] would it suceed,melodie? Currently elementary os is very buggy and boots 1 time out of three,but it's something,than not booting at all [13:25] how can i tar multiple directories in one tar? [13:25] if so, you could make a new primary partition, or two, and work from there to install a ubuntu distro [13:25] I see. Thank you very much melodie, I will look into it and hopefully come up with something. Much appreciated [13:25] excito I didn't say it would succeed, I said it is the only possibility you can explore as you don't have media to start a distro from cdrom or usb stick [13:25] hi, I'm using 12.04 and I'm trying to open a xls file using gnumeric seem that its not opening the file but I'm sure file is not corrupted is there a way I can see the log for for the application or any suggestion how to debug it?

Would having a 1gb usb stick work? In that case,I suppose it wouldn't be too costly to buy one [13:27] thanks [13:27] anyone help? [13:27] is there any tips and triks to make ubuntu faster on a old hp laptop ? :D [13:27] baggis yes, moment [13:28] excito check your bios gui boot section and see if it is likely to boot from USB ? sometimes it's in the "hard drive" section and you have to have a usb stick inserted to see the usb stick ready to boot [13:28] baggis: you'd need to find out what's slowing it down [13:28] baggis first this, but there's more http://howto.wired.com/wiki/Speed_Up_Linux [13:29] thanks melodie. Will do so and hopefully that'll work.

[13:37] I have installed openssh-server and have set up port-forwarding correctly on my router, but when I try to connect with ssh from an extern computer, I get "Connection refused" [13:38] I have tried googling the connection refused message, but I just get stupid suggestions as installing the ssh server and disabling firewall.

[13:39] yeats, yes, i can [13:40] odra: The "odra" is your user name and the "Desktop" is the name you gave the machine during installation [13:40] odra: see this: http://www.cyberciti.biz/tips/howto-linux-unix-bash-shell-setup-prompt.html there are many many more pages like it [13:40] yeats, I have configured ssh to use a different port than 22. is it possible that the router still blocks ssh connections? [13:40] DJones: That sounds awkward. [13:40] bool: then I would consult your router's documentation for troubleshooting [13:40] If I named my machine "desktop" I would have desktop atop of a desktop [13:41] bool: yes - your router might not be able to configure alternate ssh, but that's why I would direct you to the docs for your router [13:41] and? [13:41] yeats, hmm ok, thanks [13:42] !hostname | odra [13:42] odra: Use hostname to set the hostname, or to do it permanently: edit /etc/hosts to include BOTH the old and new hostname and then change /etc/hostname to the new one.

Still, you may be able to switch to a virtual terminal with ctrl-alt- . Hit return and you'll get a shell (command prompt) if you're lucky. Then you may have a chroot (google it) or a half-done install, and people here may be able to guide you to finding out what went wrong. [13:56] quince: no need for all that to find out what went wrong - syslog should tell you that [13:56] hey all, i want to enable tcp listen for libvirt. but it seems when i add "--listen" to libvirtd_opt in /etc/init/libvirt-bin.conf it is ignored [13:56] when i did the alternate install of 12.04 It also stops installing after choosing language [13:56] that was a non gui install [13:56] is this the wrong way to do this in ubuntu? [13:57] bypass the update process [13:57] libvirt itself is configured correctly. if i start libvirt manually with "libvirtd -d --listen" the tcp port is opened [14:01] ubuntu607: I'm not saying the gui install is the cause. Just that I'm not sure where your install failed. [14:02] yeats: if the GUI is hung, how do you see syslog?

I stopped using apt-cacher-ng, and my update now works. I think there are known race conditions in the archive system that caused the bad file.

[14:26] that's how many users were in the channel [14:27] not to mention people that read irc log from email [14:27] what are you on about mate [14:28] hi. there is something wrong with my ibus sometimes. could someone check it, please: http://ubuntuforums.org/showthread.php?t=2116673 [14:28] the hole world is here potentially [14:28] whole* [14:28] whole world [14:28] Did Ubuntu remove the little X for closing windows when you're viewing them in the overview/thumbnail mode? Or am I just somehow missing them? (12.04) === hp is now known as Guest12645 [14:29] azert yes, but they aren't in realtime [14:30] so how many useres are here in reall time? [14:30] 1759 [14:30] <[deXter]> 42 [14:30] not if they are afk [14:31] they might come back at any second and see it though [14:31] That doesnt make them non-real users. [14:31] sure [14:32] more likelly half a dozen people and the rest irc bots [14:32] When you have multiple windows of the same type open and you click that icon more than once in the unity bar, it goes into taht gnome shell oriented overview mode. Does that have an official name? [14:32] Azert: Do you have a specific Ubuntu related support question? [14:32] do you have one bekks ? [14:33] Azert: this channel is for Ubuntu support, where people either ask questions or help others by answering questions. [14:33] aarfer, what do I do after that [14:33] ho really [14:33] !ot | Azert [14:33] Azert: #ubuntu is the Ubuntu support channel, for all Ubuntu-related support questions. Please use #ubuntu-offtopic for other topics (though our !guidelines apply there too). Thanks! [14:34] i thought it was for finding details about the users [14:34] please don't be silly azert [14:34] Help me out here.. was I supposed to laugh? [14:35] jeaton, maybe this answer is any help >>> http://askubuntu.com/questions/157966/where-is-x-chat-when-it-is-minimized-to-tray [14:35] roasted: it's the Compiz scale effect, it's not related to gnome shell at all [14:36] Kroach: I see. Now there's supposed to be a close icon (X) over top of each window that you hover over when in that mode, is there not? [14:36] * Azert handles roasted a nextpress0 [14:36] Azert: I'm not good at the online pretending thing, but thanks. [14:37] OerHeks, no help, i found that awhile back and it doesnt show up in the message indicator, even if I do install the plugin [14:37] roasted: I don't think the 'x' was there, it's in gnome shell activities overview which looks similar [14:37] now when I install the plugin, I have xchat in the indicator at all times, but it opens up a new process each time I click it [14:38] Kroach: are you on Unity right now? [14:38] I'm using ubu 12.10. Trying to add fb account to empathy chat. Window opens up saying Please authorize Ubuntu to use facebook account. Nothing happens in that window after that and a webpage gets opened in firefox saying only Success. Does anybody know how to fix this? [14:39] roasted: I'm normally using Unity on my pc, now I'm on my phone [14:39] anyway, I accepted it's a bug and it won't appear in my tray bar or message indicator [14:40] but is there anyway I can open up the process [14:40] roasted: you may want to check scale plugin settings in ccsm to see if the option you want is there === Azert is now known as MakiAto [14:41] Kroach: I just fired up my desktop (also 12.04) and I don't see the close button there either. Perhaps I had been mistaking the entire time? [14:42] spajderix: someone was here earlier with the same problem, seems like facebook have changed their authentication address or something [14:42] Kroach: it was this sort of view in Unity I thought each window had an X in the corner, for what it's worth - http://www.dedoimedo.com/images/computers_new_2/gnome-shell-multiple.jpg [14:43] roasted: it does in 12.10, but not 12.04 [14:43] !info i965-va-driver > ikonia [14:43] yeats: is that due to different Unity versions from 04 to 10? [14:43] roasted: although it also does in gnome shell (which is what your screenshot is) [14:44] roasted: this screenshot is from an early version of gnome shell [14:44] Kroach: I know. I was just bringing it up for comparison so it was understood what I was referring to. [14:44] roasted: I don't know specifically, but I would guess so [14:44] yeats: I wonder if it's possible to get in 12.04... I'm hanging on to 12.04 for quite a while :/ [14:44] roasted: I would just upgrade to 12.10 if it were me [14:45] yeats: not on work systems... === hays_ is now known as hays [14:45] * yeats does so on work systems too [14:45] yeats: I'd sacrifice that little feature and stay on 12.04 in a heartbeat. [14:45] roasted: yeah - that's the trade off - you don't get the new-release goodness [14:46] yeats: did you do an upgrade from 12.04, or was it a fresh install? [14:46] roasted: check scale plugin settings in ccsm, an option to turn this on may be in there [14:46] roasted: I've done both [14:46] yeats: no issues with the upgrade? [14:46] Kroach: I will, thanks much! [14:47] roasted: nope - but keep backups ;-) [14:47] Would this be a good place to get suggestions on why some wine games are running slow even with gold status? [14:47] yeats: nightly rsync of data and monthly clonezilla of images on each system in this house my friend ;) [14:47] filesunknown: try #winehq [14:48] roasted: excellent - then nothing to worry about [14:48] I am starting to wonder if it is a slow cpu causing it. even though in windows the game runs max settings [14:48] has anyone been able to use a griffin powermate in ubuntu?

[16:09] I just copy and paste it into the command line? [16:09] Dragen: I'm not sure why you can't find the SC, it's there on all Ubuntu versions, but you can easily do this via the terminal: sudo apt-get install libreoffice-{base,writer,calc,impress,math,draw} [16:09] Dragen: i am not sure if software-center is in lubuntu as standard [16:09] I'll try then. [16:10] Dragen: You can install software-center via apt-get too, but Lubuntu should come with it... [16:11] On the start button (or w/e it's called here) which category do I find it in? [16:11] Is there a way to get Java (Swing) menus to integrate with globalmenu without recompiling them? [16:11] Dragen: It'd be logical if it's in "System".

[16:14] this is prettymuch the first time ubuntu has worked for me [16:14] mmmbud: like i said before: 13.04 is still in developing. so better ask in #ubuntu+1 since this is not a regular issue on ubuntu [16:15] ok thanks i had it in 12.04 aswell [16:15] So what programming language does this "LXTerminal" use? [16:15] Dragen: Bash is the default shell in Ubuntu. [16:16] Which means that's what used when typing in it? [16:16] Dragen: Pretty much. [16:16] Or maybe that's not considered programming [16:16] Oh ok [16:16] Dragen: Well, it's not exactly programming, yeah. [16:16] What is it then? Commanding, perhaps? [16:16] mmmbud, then you probly need a flash update/upgrade or your browser flashplugin is misbehaving [16:17] Hey :D I got unsatisfiable cross-dependancies that prevents from installing/upgrading/removing anything :(... What can I do to get rid of them ? [16:17] Dragen: Scripting, I suppose. [16:17] Apt advises running install -f but this results in roughly the same thing : impossible cross version requirements and no change [16:18] Okay [16:18] I can't even use remove -f to get rid of packages regardless of deps to reinstall everything [16:18] So what now ? [16:19] Fira: can you pastebin the "apt-get install -f" with output? [16:19] guys i have just installed ubuntu 12.10 32 bit in virtual box but i dont see a menu on my screen, how can i access the menu? [16:20] imarks: Make sure 3D acceleration is enabled in VM properties [16:22] k1l_, sure: http://pastebin.com/dCRBFH9r [16:23] basically [16:23] dpkg: dependency problems prevent configuration of initramfs-tools: [16:23] initramfs-tools depends on initramfs-tools-bin (<< 0.99ubuntu13.1~); however: [16:23] Version of initramfs-tools-bin on system is 0.103ubuntu0.2. [16:24] Fira: which ubuntu is it? are there PPA or other sources? why are you root? [16:24] hello [16:24] Fira: this is almost always due to PPA conflicts. I assume you have stuff in /etc/apt/sources.list.d ? [16:25] PPA conflicts ? hmm [16:25] I seem to be having an issue with apt-get and purging/autoremoving/removing. Pastebin: http://pastebin.com/uYTXJff6 [16:25] hey, anyone experienced the touchpad/keyboard bug with ubuntu/xubuntu?? [16:25] i'm wodering if someone can help me with a problem that I have with installing lubuntu in a separate partition (3 actually boot,root and home) alongside Fedora [16:25] Nope L3top & k1l_ , empty, i'm not running with any kind of custom sources [16:26] hen i have tried this in the past Grub is no longer showing Fedora at boot time [16:26] Fira: by ppa conflicts I mean conflicting/non-satisfyable dependencies caused by the PPA files in the repo. I see your last reply. [16:26] any ideas as to why that might be? [16:26] Fira: please make a "sudo apt-get update &&sudo apt-get upgrade" and show that again [16:27] already did :( in fact i also tried to run a do-release-upgrade - and as such, as of now i'm not sure wether this is technically a 12.04 or 12.10 ubuntu server (hopefully cloned it before) [16:28] hello - My computer hung while formatting a USB thumbdrive, and now I can't access it - can someone help me get it working again? === paddymahoney1 is now known as paddymahoney [16:29] Fira: Well, you could check with lsb_release -c [16:29] Fira: what does "lsb_release -r " give you? [16:29] ambrose321, run "update-grub" [16:29] Fira: and then take a look into the /etc/apt/sources.list what is mentioned there [16:30] reads 12.10, but there were quite a few problems during the 12.10 upgrade due to apt-get failing to install pretty much everything in the same fashion [16:30] sources seems to be 12.04 >_> [16:30] i can rollback to 12.04 but already had the problem [16:31] Fira: Well, that's pretty messed up... I don't think one can do much to fix it :/ [16:31] APT has no idea how to downgrade properly [16:31] Last night I installed from the mini.iso, I ran 'apt-get install $(cat /path/to/my/package/list)' inside of a screen session ... this morning I found it hung at downloading arialb32.exe from sourceforge. I was able to gracefully shutdown the machine (shutdown -rF) and chose recovery mode and selected to repair broken packages. Does this pick up the previously interrupted apt-get or does it simply run 'apt-get -f install' to get mi [16:31] ssing dependencies for packages that did install correctly? [16:31] make a quantal instead of the precise in the sources list. [16:31] and give it another apt-get update and apt-get dist-upgrade [16:31] Well it reads 10.04, but sources are quantal :P [16:32] 12.04* [16:32] Fira: wait what? [16:32] hi guys, anyone who knows about infrared devices on ubuntu? I do not seem to be able to work my irda dongle, I have been googling for 2 days. [16:32] Okay, okay, hang on, let me just roll back to pre-upgrade version, that'll be one less problem to sort out >_< [16:32] Fira: what reads 12.04 and what says in sources.list? [16:33] hello - My computer hung while formatting a USB thumbdrive, and now I can't access it - can someone help me get it working again? [16:34] cpare, why not just reformat it again [16:34] gnustep anyone? [16:35] well anyway, I guess it won't hurt to run the package install again after rebooting... [16:35] cpare: If the partition table has been damaged you could recreate it with GParted or fdisk [16:36] theadmin - gpartd is giving me errors on the drive as well [16:36] cpare: What is the error? [16:37] Hi. I've installed ubuntu 12.10 on a lvm logical volume, ext4. Then I added another logical volume (nilfs2), added nilfs2 to /etc/initramfs-tools/modules, updated grub and managed to boot with nilfs2 as root. [16:37] I need help, just updated, pressed alt+enter to switch toa different Desktop environment and It just logs me in. [16:37] theadmin - "Libparted Bug Found! - Input/Output error during read on /dev/sdb" [16:37] cpare, sounds like the usb is/was damaged [16:37] So far so good, but some scripts fails during boot time, and after that mount doesn't list the root mount :) the system works, but when mount doesn't list root as mounted, nilfs2 can't run it's cleaner deamon [16:37] cpare, thats probably why it hung the first time you tried to format [16:37] Fira: k1l_ sounds like a do release broke because of some other broken thing... now sources are all jacked relating to the original breakage. [16:38] where are the logs from initrd boot process kept after boot, if any ? [16:38] cpare: Eh. Sounds problematic alright, could you go to Device -> Recreate partition table and do that? [16:38] escott - nah, my laptop needs to be re-floated [16:38] WBF: alt+enter? you're meant to select the desktop at login [16:38] archbsdace, 12.10 :P [16:38] L3top: there are some 12.10 packages which dont met 12.04 depencies. so maybe a upgrade to 12,10 will help if its still 12.04 sources [16:39] I do not seem to be able to make it work but it is a 5 year old dongle, with an old chip. [16:39] theadmin - same error when I try to do that [16:39] L3top / k1l_ : Rolled back to old snapshot, lsb_release reads 12.04, sources are precise, ran apt-get update/upgrade, still got the same old problem running install -f : http://pastebin.com/9fMzuUw4 [16:39] WBF: what do you expect alt+enter to do? [16:40] archbsdace, to let me select a desktop environment [16:40] WBF: where are you getting this from? [16:40] escott - I was in the process of making a boot USB to try out a FSF distro :) [16:40] WBF: alt+enter doesnt do that [16:40] WBF, you probably want to remove lightdm and install gdm [16:41] hello Im having troubles installing ubuntu on windows8 (newbie question) [16:41] tell more or nobody is able to help [16:41] !info initramfs-tools-bin precise [16:42] initramfs-tools-bin (source: initramfs-tools): binaries used by initramfs-tools.

I am guessing you installed ubuntu, and then you installed windows 8? [16:45] i cant get my ati radeon 6470m graphics card. i can use ubuntu desktop with no problem. but openGL is not working. any of you guys have an idea? [16:45] 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' [16:45] no L3top i had windows 8 first [16:45] I'm running 10.8.2 (freshly update). Unetbootin doesn't help and everything I've tried for USB booting fails. [16:46] Nikon: then ubuntu should have installed grub in the MBR. You should not be dealing with a win 8 bootloader.

The support for this feature has started with Ubuntu 12.10 64bit (see this article) and 12.04.2 64bit, but it is not fully reliable yet, so you may need to disable it in order to be able to boot Ubuntu. [16:48] what about 32bit? [16:49] blez, i didnt think there was a win8 32bit [16:49] nwertman: why the count=1 ? afaik that wrote only 440b to the disk? [16:49] escott there is [16:49] escott: yes there was [16:49] Following instructions here: 'http://perpetual-notion.blogspot.fr/2011/08/unetbootin-on-mac-os-x.html" [16:49] that's why I'm asking.

Logically it shouldnt be much different than Ubuntu with unity, but powermanagement, sound quality, and other tid bits are driving me nuts. Would it be benificial to install Ubuntu 12.10 and just install xubuntu-desktop? Or am I mistaken and there aren't any underlying differences between the two releases? [16:57] relapse, logically it would be very very different from unity [16:57] escott: I know the UI, i mean drivers/modules etc [16:57] escott: I mean the underlying core ubuntu os. [16:57] relapse, gnome starts a lot of daemons for the userspace. dbus, pulse, etc [16:57] hmm... [16:57] it is my understanding that only arm8 is locked with win8 UEFI (though red-hat purchased a license) [16:57] how is everyone doing today?... [16:57] escott: ^ [16:59] L3top, i think the "license" redhat bought was for x86 and its just a smaller fee (the same that is charged to hardware manufacturers who need to get their drivers signed) [16:59] escott: I need help on a lot of subjects but mostly because I can't seem to get the computer to boot off the cd. it said the cd drive as blocked for security reasons. then, once i fixed that problem, I heard windows 8 wasn't always recognized by the ubuntu installer which is a problem since i want to dual boot.

The same can be done for CD [17:18] ive found this, is that the same? https://help.ubuntu.com/community/BootFromCD i guess so [17:18] *device boot order [17:19] well, i lost my usb so i have to use the cd === andreic28 is now known as zumaz203 [17:19] R3TR0: depending on the device, some have an f key you can hit at startup to choose the boot device, some you will have to change in the bios. [17:20] That is a good link to get you going R3TR0 [17:20] ahh ok [17:20] well, ill try that now [17:20] if i still have a question ill come back [17:21] got to run take care everyone [17:21] got to play some shadowgun...i luv that game! [17:21] Does anyone know how to fix rezolution on login screen? the upper buttons windows are out of place and cant see them [17:23] I'm using 12.04 for a few months now and just yesterday something strange started where a while after booting up the headphone jack will stop working. If I shut my computer down, pull out the laptop battery, hit the power button, put the batter back, and then boot up, that's the only way normal headphone functionality is restored [17:24] the "stop working" means, when i plug in the headphone i get no audio from the headphones and the laptop speakers output the audio instead [17:25] jyg: Try [ sudo alsamixer ] [17:25] jyg I would like to see an output of sudo aplay -l in a pastebin [17:26] jyg: chances are this is a pulse issue. [17:26] ok sure... let me set something back to as they were before i started mucking around, and then i'll get that in paste bin, 2 min. thanks, brb. [17:27] zumaz203, is this lightdm? [17:27] pulse audio... 60% of the time, it works every time. [17:27] SonikkuAmerica yes [17:28] hi ppl [17:28] zumaz203, one second... [17:28] Does system monitor process list show cpu usage % for 1 of however many cores (ie, how much of a single core that process is using)? Or does it average across what cpu resources are available? [17:28] 60% seems to be a very low estimate [17:28] zumaz203: Run [ xrandr -q ] in a terminal for me. [17:29] every time is a bold statement. I think the math works [17:29] al__, at the process level it would show aggregate usage. so with 4 processors one process can use up to 400% of cpu [17:29] L3top: LOL. I believe the Pulse issue got fixed in 12.10, correct me if I'm wrong. [17:29] can somebody help me with getting my wifi USB to work? [17:29] hi guys how to check if im using x86 or x64 ubuntu [17:29] L3top: That is, the one jyg mentioned [17:29] Ubuntu - the place that make all window's users press 'automatic installation'. why is everything so compliacted ;_; [17:30] escott: ah, thanks. so with 4 cores, 400% is really 100% of capacity. [17:30] ikillcypher: [ uname -a ] [17:30] ikillcypher, uname -i [17:30] lotta weird hw out there... gets gooey with subdevices like weirdo swap pluggable headphone jacks in my experience... that could be very true SonikkuAmerica... I am not on quantal... I am a dinosaur. [17:30] al__, yes [17:30] i686 ? [17:30] what is that [17:30] ikillcypher: Or even just uname -i [17:30] al__, and fully loaded is 4 [17:30] ikillcypher: i686 is advanced 32-bit arch. [17:30] ikillcypher, 32bit [17:31] so how do I get a 64bit ubuntu [17:31] L3top: What do mean, dinosaur? [17:31] as I need it for android building [17:31] ikillcypher, download the 64bit version and install it [17:31] no other way of upgrading ? [17:31] ikillcypher, no [17:31] ikillcypher, nope [17:31] 10.04 is my main use SonikkuAmerica. [17:31] ikillcypher: Make sure your computer is 64-bit capable though. [17:31] L3top: Oh. [17:32] wifi specialists in here? [17:32] 4GB RAM [17:32] (I could've warned zumaz203 about that.) [17:32] ikillcypher: To find out if your system is 64bit capable: udo lshw -C cpu| grep width [17:32] ikillcypher, so? [17:32] ikillcypher, pastebin 'lscpu' [17:32] samiasm: just ask the real question... if someone knows they will answer [17:32] L3top: http://pastebin.com/nhn01Df9 [17:33] samiasm: If it's Ubuntu-related, we'll gladly answer. Be specific. [17:33] ikillcypher: I cropped the "s" out of suso in that command, but you get the idea [17:33] *sudo [17:33] yes I did [17:33] width: 64 bits [17:33] width: 64 bits [17:33] width: 64 bits [17:33] ikillcypher: Please don't flood; use http://paste.ubuntu.com to paste; don't use Enter as punctuation. [17:34] ikillcypher: So, yes, your computer will do the 64bit version [17:34] compdoc: hey I solved the boot problem: apparently my hdd wasn't "high" enough in the boot sequence of the bios setup... [17:34] Not what I was hoping would be the prob jyg. My guess still lands with pulse. [17:35] k-stz, yup [17:35] I got a TL-WN822N and I downloaded drivers from linux wireless. After compiling nothing works. Worked fine before. Had to recompile cause of kernel update [17:35] L3top: what were you suspecting? [17:35] where do I get the x64 bit and I just install over ? [17:35] jyg: I was hoping that you would have two subdevices, one of which being the headphones jack. [17:36] 12.04 64 bit is what I am using btw [17:36] i am ssh'd into a ubuntu box, and i have a command i want to run (i am just running google chrome /opt/google...) i want to 'launch' this on the x:0 screen (tty7) what flags or additions do i need to add in there to tell this thing to run this on the screen of the remote host and not in the ssh window i am logged into? [17:36] samiasm: Compilation or run-time errors? [17:36] ikillcypher: http://ubottu.com/y/dl [17:36] jyg: that I can fix... my pulse fix is always the same. Remove it. See if it does what you want. I fear that is not the recommended solution. [17:36] L3top: what was stranger, before my full power-off, i booted to windows and it suffered the same problem. its almost as those the audio system on ubuntu freaks the card out in some way [17:37] Have a new PC with the Windows 8 logo or using UEFI firmware? [17:37] Please use a 64-bit flavour of Ubuntu desktop. [17:37] Learn more › [17:37] hy I need help [17:37] what about 32bit ? [17:37] don't think so. Can I redo the process to find out if there are any errors? [17:37] blez: Please don't flood; use http://paste.ubuntu.com to paste; don't use Enter as punctuation. [17:37] jyg: not the answer... more likely hardware problem if it is floating across OSs [17:37] blez: (Please watch your flooding) Typically because Windows 8 hardware and UEFI hardware use 64-bit processors. [17:38] blez: You'll NEED the 64-bit version to run it on UEFI hardware. [17:38] hi, when I start skype I get Segmentation fault...what is solution to this? [17:38] Lofde_, you want it to display on the ssh servers X server and not on the ssh clients X server [17:38] I instaled ubuntu 12.10 on my new notebook and i cant boot, i get error 'starting cpu interrupts balancing daemon' [17:39] escott, yes [17:39] Lofde_, in that case you would "export DISPLAY=:0" [17:39] can someone help.... [17:39] I instaled ubuntu 12.10 on my new notebook and i cant boot, i get error 'starting cpu interrupts balancing daemon' [17:39] !patience | mihajlo [17:39] mihajlo: Don't feel ignored and repeat your question quickly; if nobody knows your answer, nobody will answer you. While you wait, try searching https://help.ubuntu.com or http://ubuntuforums.org or http://askubuntu.com/ [17:39] Lofde_, and then probably also set XAUTHORITY=~/.Xauthority [17:40] samiasm, i'm not sure, that you had to build the driver. This page tell, that one of default modules supports your device: https://help.ubuntu.com/community/HardwareSupportComponentsWirelessNetworkCardsTP-Link [17:40] mihajlo: You'll need to send "nomodeset" to GRUB for your install to work [17:40] /opt/google/chrome/google-chrome --start-maximized --kiosk http://www.google.com (here is my command escott where in that would those strings go) === sergei is now known as sergeistoupalatc [17:41] it does. The connection broke down often though and it got better after building the new drivers. I just have to recompile after kernel updates which is pretty annoying [17:41] SonikkuAmerica: can you explain me how to do that, im new to linux... [17:41] SonikkuAmerica so, no 32bit support.. ever? [17:41] mihajlo: To do that, when the Ubuntu start screen shows up from your live media, hit F6 and select "nomodeset" from the menu. [17:41] Lofde_, you will need to use env or run it in a shell [17:41] Lofde_, if you dont want to export that is [17:42] blez: I didn't say that, but 32-bit installs simply do not work on UEFI Secure Boot. They will if you still have a BIOS though. [17:42] *They = 32-bit installs [17:42] Lofde_, you can locally declare env variables for a command with bash as VARIABLE=value /executable --options [17:42] so when will a 32bit version be released? Any info? [17:43] blez: There are 32-bit versions on Ubuntu's download page: http://ubottu.com/y/dl [17:43] SonikkuAmerica, is that true? i know the boot loader would have to be a 64bit bootloaders, but can a 64bit bootloader not boot a 32bit kernel? [17:43] no, 32bit version that work with UEFI [17:44] blez, there are some complexities because with bios it is in 16bit mode until the kernel starts, with UEFI64 (which is what windows has) then it is in 64bit mode before the kernel is booted [17:44] blez, read this for more info https://bugs.launchpad.net/ubuntu/+source/grub2/+bug/1025555 [17:44] Ubuntu bug 1025555 in ubiquity (Ubuntu) "Ubuntu32bits is incompatible with recent (UEFI) computers" [Undecided,Confirmed] [17:44] hi [17:44] blez, besides 64bit is better and you have the hardware so just use it [17:44] escott, sweet thank you! [17:44] escott, +1 [17:44] I don't have the hardware.. [17:44] my cpu is 32bit [17:44] that's unlikley [17:44] Hello, I am having some difficulty interpreting the output of fdisk -l on a dedicated server i just rented, I am told that there are 4 physical HDDs, 2 120GB SSD's and 2 2TB HDD's, the SSD's being used in raid1 and the HDD's not being mounted or partitioned yet, [17:44] as yoiu have an EFI board [17:44] blez, then you dont have Windows 8 UEFI [17:45] escott: You are correct. A 32-bit EFI can boot a 32-bit kernel; a 64-bit EFI can boot a 64-bit kernel, but neither EFI can load the opposite kernel (is my understanding). [17:45] *UEFI [17:45] http://ark.intel.com/products/70105/Intel-Atom-Processor-Z2760-1MB-Cache-1_80-GHz [17:45] Instruction Set 32-bit [17:45] blez, what laptop do you have [17:45] Acer W510 [17:45] it's a tablet/laptop [17:46] "OS kernel architecture (32 or 64-bit) must be the same as the EFI architecture (unless "eficross" is used, which is available from kernel 3.4)" [17:46] can you help me interpret this? fdisk -l output http://pastebin.com/jWKLKqaG [17:46] how do i fix this [17:46] http://i1189.photobucket.com/albums/z421/karou_/50BBB77F-F204-467D-8BE6-EBA4DB950556-1805-000000FA434EDBFA_zpsccab7a40.jpg [17:46] blez, I doubt you are using UEFI on that [17:46] So if one has 12.10 and eficross it might work. [17:46] hello [17:46] tgm4883 it's uefi. [17:47] blez: then you have a 64bit cpu [17:47] SonikkuAmerica I tried 12.10 with wubi, month ago, it didn't worked [17:47] ikonia read the specs [17:47] i would like to use the 2 TB HDD's as /home but i am at a loss for the use of fdisk [17:48] hunterdouglas, don't use fdisk. use parted or gparted [17:48] blez: that cpu won't be on an EFI board though [17:48] LadyNikon: hey [17:48] blez: what board are you using [17:49] blez, Note: The 32-bit editions of Windows don't support UEFI features. Only 64-bit editions of Windows can take advantage of the features that 64-bit UEFI firmware enables. Fortunately, the CSM in current UEFI implementations enables 32-bit operating systems and other operating systems that don't support UEFI to boot on hardware that has UEFI firmware. But, operating systems that require a CSM to boot can't use UEFI-specific features because the [17:49] CSM emulates earlier BIOS. [17:49] so it sounds like it's just running in legacy mode [17:50] I am running xubuntu and have two users. I would like the system to auto-log-in to the user scooby when the system starts rather than asking me whih user. How do I do this? [17:50] After installing Ubuntu 12.10 in VBox 4.2.6, it ask me to hit enter to reboot. After hitting the Enter key, the system says "The system is going down for reboot now!" and just hangs there. Anyone encounter this? [17:50] yes, CSM is the BIOS mode [17:50] I have no idea from UEFI [17:50] escott: i still do not understand what i am looking for exactly, never done anything like this before [17:50] my older laptops didn't had it [17:51] blez, basically, you are using BIOS mode [17:51] I'm pretty sure it's UEFI.. [17:51] blez, so just install 32-bit ubuntu [17:51] it didn't worked. [17:51] blez, did you not just read what I posted [17:51] blez, for what reason didn't it work? [17:51] hunterdouglas, well start by describing what you need to do [17:52] I don't know. After rebooting with WUBI it said something like "Fixing problems..." it took like 30mins and after restart it runned win8 again [17:52] that was month+ ago [17:52] i have a server, with 4 physical hard drives in it, i am told that they are in 2 raid 1 pairs. i need to know where each partition is currently mounted, if even mounted. and configure them so that the 2TB disks are mounted as /home [17:53] is there a schedule for adding libreoffice 4.0 to ubuntu 12.10 ? [17:53] hunterdouglas, run mount [17:53] hunterdouglas, and cat /proc/mdstat [17:53] and that was with disabled secureboot [17:54] Anybody good with install issues. Savage S3 video card, trying to install. worked in 12.04, can't get usable screen on live CD to install on 12.10 for ubuntu, or lubuntu [17:54] savage S3 - wow, that's old [17:55] yup, tried lubuntu, but screen always corrupts, so came back to ubuntu, and having same issue.. worked in 12.04 [17:55] can't install from graphic live cd [17:55] tried safe graphics mode [17:55] gigatropolis: i dont think that is gonna to happen [17:56] benjad: Try using "nomodeset": When the Ubuntu start menu pops up, select you language, press F6 and select "nomodeset" from the menu. [17:56] how do I get to it [17:56] right now /dev/md2 is on /home (98GB) and /dev/md0 is on /data (1908GB) [17:57] screen is corrupted from the get-go.. the I get the symbol = symbol, and the 12.10 , but hte 1st menu screen is corrupted, can;t get to launguage slection [17:57] hunterdouglas, and what do you want [17:57] i would like to switch them around so that /dev/md0 is on /home 1908GB, and /dev/md2 is on /data 98 GB [17:57] im back, i managed to start booting from the cd and opened the console [17:57] hunterdouglas: just change the mount points in fstab and reboot [17:57] hunterdouglas, well thats going to be time consuming. you will just have to copy everything around [17:57] or unmount/remount [17:57] escott: it is a brand new server with nothing AFAIK in either location [17:57] benjad: That giant menu that you see after the "symbol = symbol" won't appear? [17:58] hello, is there anyway to remap the fn keyboard shortcuts for a laptop? I'm using 12.10 64 [17:58] hunterdouglas, then just change the mountpoints in /etc/fstab [17:58] yup.. i get the equals screen.. the 12.10 with the changing dots appears, but the menu is corrupt. same thing happens with lubuntu [17:58] l3top, is there a list of drivers which you can download from the "Additional Drivers" tab? [17:59] benjad: You are aware that you have to select "Try Ubuntu" or "Install Ubuntu" first? [17:59] R3TR0: if you can tell me what your hardware is, I can tell you the best driver for it [17:59] benjad: before you get all that [17:59] change mount points then reboot? that simple? [17:59] hunterdouglas: yup [17:59] huh, thanks ikonia , escott. you two have been wonderful [18:00] i5 CPU 3.20 GHz 6 GB RAM Ati Radeon HD 5750 64 Bit [18:00] hi... [18:01] R3TR0: give me a second and I will give you a pastebin of what to do [18:01] hunterdouglas, you will have a small set of files in /home you should copy over but it wont be much [18:01] L3top: the thing is, that ive installed a driver from the additional drivers and i want to uninstall it. is that possible if i boot from the cd and use the console there? [18:01] actually, there was no data at all escott [18:02] hunterdouglas, If it's a clean system with not much data on it, why not just reinstall again from scratch? [18:02] hello, is there anyway to remap the fn keyboard shortcuts for a laptop? I'm using 12.10 64 [18:02] hunterdouglas, /home wont be empty [18:02] JimmyNeutron: i dont have access to reinstall and configure [18:02] escott: i have looked, there was nothing in /home [18:03] hunterdouglas, that should not be the case [18:03] hunterdouglas, Doing it remotely? if yes, then okay. [18:03] http://www.pastebin.ca/2316914 [18:03] R3TR0: ^ [18:04] R3TR0: type exit when done so you arent running amok as root [18:04] Any recommendations for a backup software? I'll be RMA-ing a laptop, which will be wiped (because they test it with windows, they say), and I want to be able to return it like it was when it gets back. [18:04] !backup | esph [18:04] esph: There are many ways to back your system up. Here's a few: https://help.ubuntu.com/community/BackupYourSystem , https://help.ubuntu.com/community/DuplicityBackupHowto , https://wiki.ubuntu.com/HomeUserBackup , https://help.ubuntu.com/community/MondoMindi - See also !sbackup and !cloning [18:04] so i paste these lines you sent me [18:04] and after that is done i write "exit" [18:05] is that right? [18:05] esph: I would personally avoid deja dup/duplicity for that, FYI [18:05] hello I have an acer with windows 8 64 bit and I want to know why the ubuntu cd installer goes straight to the demo version and dosen't give me the standard option menu [18:06] jackarg: you can press a key when booting to get the menu [18:06] yeats: so HomeUserBackup or MondoMindi would work for me? [18:06] yeats: what do you mean? [18:06] I have question about output redirecting. For ex, I try to test logrotate: #logrotate -d /etc/logrotate.conf > logtest [18:06] But only part of output will be redirected to file, and other strings will be displayed on the standard output. What can I do to redirect all output of this command? [18:06] you are being watched [18:07] either way, i got it now with no ill effects, it was literally a fresh install of 10.04, Old i know but some of my software has issues with the version of vsftpd bundled with 12.04 + [18:07] esph: I haven't used those. The reason for my cautioning against duplicity/deja dup is that the files are stored opaquely and are not easily browseable. [18:07] correct R3TR0 [18:07] jackarg: when the live cd starts you can press a key to get to the menu [18:08] jackarg: it doesn't present the menu by default [18:08] so before it goes into the live demo version I press any key for it to show up? [18:09] Hi, is it worth installing the 13.04 beta? Or should I just wait another month. [18:09] relapse: best to wait till release [18:09] relapse: if you do decide to try before release help is in #ubuntu+1 [18:10] jackarg: I don't have one handy to test, but yes, I think it will come up with any key - if not, maybe Esc or shift? [18:10] Word [18:10] relapse, lots of ppl are trying 13.04 , includiong me , best to ask in #ubuntu+1 though [18:11] L3top: The lines after , do i paste all of them at once in or one after one [18:11] I'm experiencing a lot of issues with xubuntu that I do NOT experience in ubuntu. Would I experience the same issues if I installed ubuntu and then xubuntu-desktop? [18:11] can you recomment a tiling window manager? I've tried ion3 and xmonad. are there other worthwhile options?

[18:13] Please let me know if anyone succeeds in dual booting your GNex with Android and Ubuntu [18:13] yeats: i pressed all that while there was the ubuntu logo on the purple bkg with the loading dots.

[18:22] yes [18:22] 10.04 server 64 bit [18:22] synaesthetik: you're disk shoudn't be "vfat" as far as I'm aware [18:22] i didn't format it as that [18:23] !info openjdk-7-jre lucid [18:23] Hallo! I installed Ubuntu 12.10 earlier and I was wondering if this channel could give me some instructions if it's possible to move the sidebar to a "traditional" taskbar at the bottom. 'tis driving me quite mad. [18:23] Package openjdk-7-jre does not exist in lucid [18:23] hunterdouglas: ok, so that is not a valid 10.04 package from the official ubuntu repos [18:23] hunterdouglas: so either your other machines are not 10.04 or you are using an external repo [18:23] that is going to be an issue then. i need java 7 for some apps to run, guess i should restart with 11.10 [18:24] hunterdouglas: 11.10 is out of support [18:24] (pretty much) [18:24] i CANT user 12+ [18:24] Hi Guys [18:24] hunterdouglas: why ? [18:24] hi [18:24] ikonia i didn't format anything as vfat [18:24] vsftpd issues with the management software i use prevents FTP access except to SFTP users, and i need access to standard FTP as well === jeff_ is now known as Guest76623 [18:25] hunterdouglas: ...sorry don't see how that's a problem with a 12.X release ? [18:25] * FrankieBoyz Picture of my whore cheating ex-girlfriend naked: http://imagetwist.com/isaz6v8d77nj [18:25] I tried installing Clonezilla on Ubuntu 12.04. I can PXE boot client machine through server though I am facing some issue. All I would like to know how shall I configure server so that I can push Windows Xp images for client to get installed [18:25] decci: did we suggest where to get this information eaerlier ? [18:26] earlier [18:26] ikonia: Yes [18:26] decci: ok, good, so you know where to get it [18:26] ikonia: But I am not getting help from the forum [18:26] i cant join ircnet :o [18:26] the problem is the management software i use automatically installs the most recent version of VSFTPD, which has issues with this software when ran on 12+, when ran on 10.04 10.10 or 11.04, it runs fine with no issues [18:26] decci: that is the place to get the help [18:26] I'm out of hardware and a long time linux user.. aeons ago when the earth was young I abandoned ATI cards in favor of being a Nvidia brand whore.. has ATI decided to play nice with linux now, or should I stick with Nvidia? [18:26] hunterdouglas: vsftpd work on 12.x [18:27] trollboy: tone it down [18:27] hunterdouglas, sftp is unrelated to ftp [18:27] not with the software I am using it doesnt [18:27] hunterdouglas: I assure you it does [18:27] hunterdouglas: it's an ftp server [18:27] ikonia, sorry, I should have said "fanboy", but that said... my question still stands, is ATI linux-safe or should I stick with Nvidia? [18:27] nothing more [18:27] trollboy: it's the toss of a coin, depends on your specific hardware, research the cards you want to buy [18:27] trollboy: both work here [18:28] ikonia: http://www.ehcp.net/?q=node/1391 [18:28] how do i change my color scheme to reversed emphasis, in the sense of visible text on an invisible background like in the old programs, in xchat [18:28] awesome... I remember back in the day ATI required a lot of heavy handed hacking.. I'm more of a fire and forget it kinda guy [18:28] NVidia tends to play nicer with proprietary drivers in my experience [18:28] thanks! [18:28] If you have the option, still go NVidia or Intel, IMO [18:28] is there any way to allow Ubuntu's Terminal in GTK to copy text when I select it? like Putty does in windows [18:28] but both do work [18:28] hi [18:29] Does ubuntu get it's packages from Debian unstable or Debian testing? [18:29] hunterdouglas: just reading [18:29] SiegeLord, i think it has varied based on the release. usually it is from unstable? [18:29] SiegeLord, I don't believe so, not for some time [18:30] hy [18:30] hunterdouglas: there is a fix in that forum post [18:30] yeah, removing 2.5 and installing 2.3 which i have had no luck with [18:31] hunterdouglas: no [18:31] can someone please explain to the the steps of finding a drive thats plugged in and mounting that drive? [18:31] hunterdouglas: changing the chroot_local_user setting [18:31] can some one help me with my touch screen i have 3 monitors and one of them has a touch surface but if i touch on it takes the whole desktop as a reference is there a way to bind it on a display??? [18:32] this one sudo sed -i 's/chroot_local_user=YES/chroot_local_user=NO/g' /etc/vsftpd.conf sudo service vsftpd restart ? [18:32] hunterdouglas: that says it's tested and working [18:32] has ubuntu sussed out 3+ monitors on multiple video cards yet? [18:33] that was an issue like.. 6 months ago [18:33] trollboy: that's not an ubuntu issue [18:33] well i guess i am going to spend another 2 hours reinstalling and configuring again... [18:33] trollboy: that's an issue with certain propritary drivers [18:33] can someone please suggest me a channel for a irc newbie? [18:33] hunterdouglas: I'really suggest checking information properly [18:33] rahulsuman: #freenode [18:34] I have now the ubuntu installer running on my acer which i bought with windows 8 (64 bit) and it does not recognize windows 8 as an operating system.

[18:34] thanks, and how do i leave this channel [18:34] rahulsuman: /part [18:34] i am sorry ikonia, i dont have to go through this very often, and i can not remember absolutely every detail [18:34] rahulsuman: /part [18:34] hunterdouglas: it's fine, it's just wise to check things out before rushing into assumptions [18:34] hunterdouglas: eg: the thread you said showed it worked...also gave a solution if you read it fully [18:35] yeah, i wasnt trying to assume anything i just remember i used to use 10.04 without any issues at all, so i wanted to go back to it after running into countless issues with 12.04 on my last server [18:35] ill put a ticket in to reinstall to 12.04 then, Thanks again ikonia [18:36] hunterdouglas: if you hit problems, come back and we'll worth them through [18:36] hunterdouglas: I'm confident any issue will be config rather than a genuine blocker [18:36] yep, thanks ikonia you have been a wonderful help [18:36] hunterdouglas: vsftpd has been stable for a long time and it's just a dumb ftp server....it's hard to "break" it [18:37] should i go with 12.04 or 12.10 [18:37] hunterdouglas: 12.04 if you want an LTS supported server [18:37] k ty [18:38] Hello. I have installed Ubuntu 12.10 on my HP Pavilion dv6 and when I connect it to my Dell ST2420L monitor via HDMI, nothing happens. I also checked in System Settings > Display, and the only monitor available is the Laptop one. Can anyone please help with this? [18:39] The machine has ATI Mobility Radeon Premium Graphics card, though I haven't configured any additional drivers for it post installation. Will I need to do that?

[18:48] trollboy: typo [18:48] fair enough [18:48] I get that a lot [18:49] ikonia [18:49] are you able to help me? [18:49] what's up ? [18:49] have you asked the channel ?

[18:50] the vfat error in install [18:50] same thing [18:50] synaesthetik:....ok, so check sda1 - see what file system is on it, then look at how / why it's trying to mount it vfat if it's not vfat [18:51] I instaled ubuntu 12.10 on my new notebook and i cant boot, i get error 'starting cpu interrupts balancing daemon'... [18:51] sda is the refit partition [18:51] sda1 i mean [18:51] synaesthetik: sda is a disk [18:51] ahh ok [18:51] so that maybe why it's vfat [18:51] synaesthetik: so what part of the process is erroring ? [18:52] I instaled ubuntu 12.10 on my new notebook and i cant boot, i get error 'starting cpu interrupts balancing daemon' [18:52] how can I delete a .deb package that is installed by dpkg -i [18:52] angs: dpkg will remove it [18:52] after i finish setting up the partitions and click install it pretty much immediately gives me that error [18:52] ikonia can you help? [18:52] synaesthetik: so this is he installer that's failing, not the boot process / [18:53] right [18:53] synaesthetik: ok, can you manually check sda1 - see what state it's in [18:53] how do i do that? [18:53] gparted? [18:53] synaesthetik: manually try to mount it, gparted, sure [18:54] ikonia: I have boot problem can you help.... [18:54] mihajlo: not at the moment, [18:54] ikonia i don't think i can mount with gparted [18:54] what is the terminal command [18:55] synaesthetik: 1.) check if /dev/sda1 exists 2.) try to mount it if it does, 3.) check the contents of it (should be empty if it can't mount it) [18:55] synaesthetik: mount /dev/whatever /mountpoint [18:55] mihajlo, maybe the nomodeset option helps booting [18:56] !nomodeset [18:56] A common kernel (boot)parameter is nomodeset, which is needed for some graphic cards that otherwise boot into a black screen or show corrupted splash screen.

[19:18] Can anyone please help me with this? [19:18] HQRaja, cp -r [19:18] HQRaja, those instructions are out of date. xorg.conf won't exist on most systems [19:18] yes i did umount [19:18] HQRaja: modern releases don't contain that file. [19:19] synaesthetik, if you bind mounted the disk the inner mount needs to be unbound first [19:19] HQRaja: A file that doesnt exist doesnt need to be backuped. :) [19:19] eshlox, brightspark, bekks: Ah I see, thanks. So I shouldn't follow those instructions then, considering the rest might be out of date too? [19:19] bekks, may have generated axconf if he has nvidia [19:20] er Xconf [19:20] BluesKaj: The message clearly states that he doesnt. :) [19:20] ok, managed to rebuild the raid, guess thats the way i am going [19:20] escott you mean unmount from root after i unmount from home? [19:20] synaesthetik, yes [19:21] escott, brightspark, bekks: I'm basically trying to switch to the fglrx proprietary drivers for my AMD video card in hopes that HDMI output to my external monitor works, which isn't currently working using the default X.Org drivers that Ubuntu used upon installation automatically. === [1]code_ph0y is now known as code_ph0y [19:22] HQRaja, all you need to do is install the fglrx package === cubix``864 is now known as cubix` [19:22] HQRaja: I cant help you with that, since I am actively refusing to even touch ATI graphics hardware :) [19:22] Though when I try to manually switch to those drivers from the 'Additional Drivers' section in 'Software Sources', nothing happens after hitting 'Apply Changes'; no error message. The radio button simply switches back to 'Using X.Org X server' [19:23] escott: Yes, that's what I'm trying to do. =) [19:23] bekks: Heh no worries. I personally wouldn't mind sticking with the default driver currently in use, if HDMI output would work with it. [19:23] HQRaja, is this a laptop? [19:24] HQRaja, ie switchable graphics? [19:24] escott: Yes, it is. BTW perhaps if I launch the Software Sources dialog from terminal, I can see some error output to find out what's happening. Would you know how to do that? [19:24] HQRaja, yeah that probably wont work [19:25] escott: The machine has integrated Intel graphics, plus ATI ones. The card is getting detected fine by the machine. [19:25] Under 'Additional Drivers', it says 'Advanced Micro Devices [AMD] nee ATI: Madison [Radeon HD 5000M Series] [19:25] Wait, let me try grabbing a screenshot [19:26] HQRaja, please dont send it to me [19:26] escott: I won't; I'll upload it somewhere and paste the link here.

[19:33] linux [19:33] datruth: winamp doesn't exist on linue [19:33] datruth: audacious has the ability to look like winamp [19:33] datruth audacious is very similar to winamp [19:34] archbsdace was faster :) [19:34] escott: This is what I see in 'Software Sources' > 'Additional Drivers': https://jumpshare.com/v/xFvtkJWcAz9O8P10Mvqx?b=D3qsehP9Q5ERnrkm2M1k and this is the error that shows up in Terminal when attempting to switch to ATI's drivers. Can you please take a look at them? [19:35] Sorry, forgot to paste the second link. Here it is: https://jumpshare.com/v/Y8RbYiHsk2qK5EPNbXfC?b=D3qsehP9Q5ERnrkm2M1k [19:35] archbsdace: can audacious play pictures with embedded music? [19:35] lb27: never tried sorry [19:35] lb27: there should be display plugins [19:36] archbsdace: I think it has more to do with a disregard for file headers, a minor point, but something winamp does [19:37] My problem was resolved. I just changed the linux image and fixed the problem. [19:37] hey whenever I try to open synaptic or anything else that requires root privileges and try to enter my password it will say incorrect password even though I haven't typed anything yet [19:37] how do I fix that? [19:38] After reinstall the AMD driver. It was not necessary. [19:38] brb [19:39] Brewster: what happens if you run 'sudo synaptic' in a terminal? [19:39] !gksudo | lb27 Brewster [19:39] lb27 Brewster: If you need to run graphical applications as root, use « gksudo », as it will set up the environment more appropriately. Never just use "sudo"! (See http://psychocats.net/ubuntu/graphicalsudo to know why) [19:39] escott: ok, thanks === cubix``409 is now known as cubix` [19:39] :/ [19:39] lspci should show wlan0 if the wireless card is reconized , correct? [19:39] can i install ubuntu alongside windows 8? [19:40] harryrf: Some wireless cards are on an internal USB bus [19:41] Can anyone please help me with my drivers issue? [19:41] harryrf: it may not call it wlan... but it should likely be listed. /etc/udev/rules.d/70-persistent-net.rules will show it if the system recognizes it [19:41] exit [19:41] oops [19:41] wrong window [19:42] HQRaja: http://www.pastebin.ca/2316914 [19:42] HQRaja: then reboot [19:42] gksudo works but is there any way to fix the original problem? [19:42] L3mce: Thanks, lemme try === cubix``409 is now known as cubix` [19:45] L3mce, HQRaja has switchable graphics. make sure whatever you are sending him wont break such a system [19:45] sorry [19:45] yes [19:45] L3mce, here's what my 70-persistent-net.rules files says http://pastebin.com/6swJPQFV [19:46] HQRaja: I appologize... I didnt realize you were on a hybrid. Please install vga-switcheroo [19:46] I do not know that it supports fglrx [19:46] L3mce: So I shouldn't use those commands, then? [19:46] correct [19:46] Thank you. [19:46] good catch escott thanks [19:47] L3mce, i told him it wasn't going to work but he didnt listen to me [19:47] Is this correct: sudo apt-get install vga-switcheroo ? [19:47] I want to disable the right mouse button in the xfce desktop - how do I do that? [19:48] escott: My apologies; I've been a bit confused. [19:48] Any suggest about how to create a backup partition? [19:48] HQRaja, is it supposed to be vga-switcheroo or ironhide these days [19:49] what's the best way to read docbook files? [19:49] HQRaja, what you are doing is unsupported. there is some very rough stuff like vga-switcheroo which works for some people but not other and could break your system [19:49] I have lots of space.. more than 700GB free! [19:49] Physicist: I like dd if you want an exact copy, can pipe it into a container of your choice. [19:51] HQRaja, ie its something you should be very cautious about doing and do *A LOT* more research before you start [19:51] lb27: dd? I do not know what is it.. So can I just create and put there? [19:51] dd is not a backup tool... it's a dumb animal... if you want to backup your files, use tar, or the nice gui backup tool === [1]code_ph0y is now known as code_ph0y [19:51] Sorry, got disconnected [19:51] True, if you just want the files there are many fine choices [19:52] HQRaja, is it supposed to be vga-switcheroo or ironhide these days [19:52] HQRaja, what you are doing is unsupported. there is some very rough stuff like vga-switcheroo which works for some people but not other and could break your system [19:52] HQRaja, ie its something you should be very cautious about doing and do *A LOT* more research before you start [19:52] escott, L3mce: In case my last two messages didn't get through, Is there any way to somehow output my display to an external monitor using the existing driver? Since that's the only thing I wanna do; otherwise, I'm find without ATI's drivers [19:52] And thanks for all the help, I really appreciate it. [19:52] ok.. [19:53] find = fine* [19:53] HQRaja, start here https://help.ubuntu.com/community/HybridGraphics [19:53] What is the easiest way to make a windows partition larger from Ubuntu? [19:53] HQRaja, and then start seeing anyone else has had success with your laptop model [19:54] Orpheon, gparted [19:54] escott: Thanks again [19:54] escott, how? If I click on "Resize" on the windows partition, it doesn't let me make it bigger [19:54] I am not sure HQRaja. I avoid those things like the plague. [19:55] Orpheon, does it have adjacent free space to expand into [19:55] adjacent? [19:55] damn [19:55] can I move other partitions around? [19:55] So then from what I have understood so far, this basically means HDMI output will not work with the default VGA card using the drivers Ubuntu has used by default? [19:55] Orpheon, yes as long as the partition is not active [19:56] HQRaja, that would be my big question. have you ruled that out? you seemed to start down a path and never looked back [19:57] escott, still don't see how: http://snag.gy/l8bUq.jpg [19:57] escott: Well, I didn't rule it out actually. In fact if I can somehow get that to work, I wouldn't even want to look into getting ATI drivers to work. [19:57] (sda2 = windows) [19:58] HQRaja, i would be curious to see "lspci -tv" [19:58] Orpheon, you have an extended partition in there. [19:59] Orpheon, you would have to shrink the extended to move the free space out of the extended, then slide sda2 over [19:59] escott: Thanks, lemme try. My only objective here is to output my display to an external monitor over HDMI, regardless of the drivers or the video card the machine and the OS use for the purpose. =) === cubix``996 is now known as cubix` [19:59] escott, and uhh...how do I resize the entire extended partition? Right-clicking doesn't give any Resize option [20:00] Orpheon, i dont know if it can be done from the gui or not [20:00] Hello ! Can anyone please help me out with this query : I am writing a simple gui program in java where I am displaying a menu bar with just two tabs namely : 'File' and 'Edit' using all the libraries provided by java like javax.swing and java.awt . My query is how do I change the size of the font in which the words 'File' and 'Edit' is written ?

If I plug in a USB keyboard I can type fine, and if I switch to a real terminal (Ctrl + Alt + F1), I can use my normal keyboard === cubix``871 is now known as cubix` [20:10] it gets even weirder [20:10] arrow keys work in X [20:11] frew: This doesn't explain why it happened, but why not just restart X? Does it help? [20:11] restarting X works but it's just a hassle you know? [20:11] I [20:11] I'd like to get to the bottom of it and solve the problem [20:12] frew: Okay, so it's consistent, it happens often? If so, what are your actions before it happens? [20:12] it happens maybe 2-3 times a month [20:12] so not super often [20:12] but it's a laptop, so I can't just unplug and replug my keyboard, or I wouldn't care [20:13] I *think* what causes it is pressing a lot of buttons at the same time [20:13] often on accident [20:13] but I can't easily reproduce that [20:13] Hm... This is odd. [20:13] I've had the same thing happen on my desktop at work but with that one I do the unplug/replug trick and all is fine [20:13] üşengeç [20:13] Hi, any alsa wizards around?

[20:15] i am using firefox [20:16] Anyone have any idea why I get excessive background noise while using y phone headset/earphones in the combo/mic jack on my laptop? In windows I can make calls and record stuff via the headset mic in this jack with no issues. In ubuntu and xubuntu i get tons of background noise. Its actually a little clearer with the onboard mic. [20:16] there is a blurred line when i am using libreoffice as well when i scroll up or down [20:16] gordon_: Hm, okay, then that's eliminated. Are you using Flash from partner or multiverse (i.e. the one that came with Ubuntu or did you install it manually)? [20:17] gordon_: Ah, now that sounds like a video driver problem already. Can you open up "Additional Drivers" and see if any are available?

While you wait, try searching https://help.ubuntu.com or http://ubuntuforums.org or http://askubuntu.com/ [20:40] jakupl: liblzma.so.2 is not in any package of ubuntu. liblzma.so however is, in the liblzma-dev package. It puts the file in either /usr/lib/i386-linux-gnu/ or /usr/lib/x86_64-linux-gnu/ depending on your machines architecture. At that point you could symlink liblzma.so.2 to the systems liblzma.so [20:40] k1l thanks but Im trying to install 1.2.3 [20:40] jackarg: Are you using an EFI/UEFI machine?

(Unless you tried that already) [20:45] jackarg: you want grub? on grub 3 right? [20:45] Would you know why Ubuntu will not fuction with jumpdrive. I can't format or really do anything with it. [20:46] I remade the partition on gparted, and I tried reinstalling grub. But apparently I need like, stage 1 and stage 2 files on the partition first? how do I get those? [20:46] jackarg: does it auto boot into linux w/o givnig you a chance to switch? [20:46] woo: I guess a grub is what I need but I wonder how to install it from windows. I just need an option to switch between the two [20:46] woo: it autoboots into w8 [20:47] jackarg: that right after the bios switches to hdd to boot you need the keep mashing the up and down arrorws at boot [20:47] jackarg: pretend your are trying to select from a list It should pop up.

The firewall is managed using the 'ufw' command - see https://help.ubuntu.com/community/UFW | An alternative to ufw is the 'iptables' command - See https://help.ubuntu.com/community/IptablesHowTo | GUI frontends such as Gufw (GNOME) and Guarddog (KDE from Lucid onwards) also exist. [21:05] isnt it iptables? o.O [21:05] Styler2go: It is. [21:05] oh [21:05] Styler2go: ufw just makes it easier. [21:05] ufw is a stupifier for iptables [21:05] so the command is iptables, or? [21:05] or not [21:05] SolarisBoy: ... [21:05] heh [21:05] becuase i dont have ufw but iptables [21:05] Physicist: Sure, but you'd likely want it on the device that's always on. [21:05] Styler2go: Well, apt-get install ufw should do it. [21:06] Styler2go: But if you want to use iptables, go for it. [21:06] I need to reset my GPG passphrase; I used `gpg -c filename.txt` but the passphrase I provided is invalid. [21:06] whats better? [21:06] Any help? [21:06] winterpk: Different permissions on the clients. [21:06] Styler2go: ufw is just a front-end for iptables. [21:06] jpds: how can I create my own proxy system with my notebook and server image? [21:06] Styler2go: You want to limit a port, it's as easy as: sudo ufw limit 22; sudo ufw enable [21:07] Styler2go: what is ubu version are you running? [21:07] Styler2go: Replace 22 with the port you want to limit. [21:07] but there is no way to customize the parameters via ufw [21:07] Physicist: Well, that's a good question, you'd have to look into something like squid. [21:07] so if your ok with that - ufw would work if not youll need to use iptables directly [21:08] Physicist: I do that [21:08] http://pastebin.com/v0NrrtxZ [21:08] bekks: so it has to be in the clients themselves right? Not on the server. [21:08] Styler2go: Check dmesg ? [21:08] Styler2go: Make sure you do: ufw allow 22 --- to make sure you don't block SSH. [21:09] http://pastebin.com/T5usXBwJ [21:09] Anyone familiar with gpg? I need to reset my passphrase as it's invalid. [21:09] woo: How.. Give something.. [21:09] ok its online [21:09] jpds: squid.. Is is a website? [21:09] caasper: If you forgot your passphrase, I think you'll need to create a new key. [21:09] if i use ab now, it should block me, right? [21:09] Physicist: !ssh | Physicist [21:09] Styler2go: Look at: sudo ufw status verbose [21:09] !ssh | Physicist [21:09] Physicist: SSH is the Secure SHell protocol, see: https://help.ubuntu.com/community/SSH for client usage. PuTTY is an SSH client for Windows; see: http://www.chiark.greenend.org.uk/~sgtatham/putty/ for it's homepage. See also !scp (Secure CoPy) and !sshd (Secure SHell Daemon) [21:10] Physicist: No, it's a proxying software. [21:10] !squid | Physicist [21:10] Physicist: squid is a caching proxy for the Web. See: https://help.ubuntu.com/community/SquidGuard See: http://www.squid-cache.org [21:10] jpds: I didn't forget it, but after entering it for `gpg -c` it informed me it was invalid, but running the command again uses the same key [21:10] Physicist: I use dd alot and just mod on the server [21:10] jpds: port 80 limit in, port 22 allow in [21:10] Status active [21:10] Styler2go: Good, so it's online. [21:10] Styler2go: See: 'man ufw' for details. [21:10] so ab should get blocked, right? [21:11] Styler2go: ab? [21:11] apache benchmarkt [21:11] !scp | Physicist [21:11] Physicist, please see my private message [21:11] -t [21:11] Styler2go: The limit rule blocks the port to 6 new connections every 30 seconds. [21:11] Styler2go: That's what the man page says. [21:12] good luck [21:14] jpds: Thank you. I found something interesting. [21:14] now i cant access my server [21:14] via ssh [21:14] quick question -- just got a HP G7-2317cl.. installed ubuntu on it -- trying to find drivers that'll work to enable the on/off button for the touchpad (sometimes i use it, sometimes i dont) [21:15] any ideas on where to head? [21:15] Styler2go: You sure the allow 22 rule was in? [21:15] winterpk: Yes. [21:16] yes [21:17] hey all, good morning [21:17] I just started a new VPS [21:17] what now jpds? :D [21:17] Styler2go: And SSH is on port 22? [21:17] Styler2go: Should work in that case. [21:18] yes it is [21:18] I've got SSH keys on my windows system, and I want to be able to connect to the remote vps [21:18] I did ssh-keygen on the remote, and there's id_rsa.pub there [21:18] I've got another public key on my windows computer [21:18] I still need to create a new passphrase for GPG, since it's invalid; I've tried to generate a new key but to no avail. [21:18] so how do I copy this one to there, without overwriting that file? [21:18] can I name it anything I want? [21:19] maybe, local.pub? [21:19] utterglee -- i generally do the keygen on my local machine then cat it over to the remote server.... the company you got your VPS through should have a guide on how to do this [21:20] tcstar, I need to connect to bitbucket over SSH, I am going to add the public key I generated as a 'deployment key' (allows read only access to repo) [21:20] so the server has it's own id_rsa.pub, my computer has it's own too, I'm just confused about how to let them co-exist [21:20] ooh that one i don't know much... i generally don't deal with bitbucket.. so I can't help you with that one.. [21:20] so I can connect from my computer to server, and server can connect to bitbucket, etc [21:20] I'm trying to run bind9 but the init script is failing, running it by hand works fine. what's going on? === ericab_away is now known as ericab [21:21] tcstar, nah this is not bitbucket specific [21:21] Is it considered bad taste to repeat questions after more people have logged in? [21:21] well perhaps i'm confused as to what it is you're wanting.... [21:21] depends on how long it's been since you asked last johnsmith... [21:21] what port would be a ping? [21:21] my server is not responding to pings xD [21:22] if I have a question -- i'll usually wait a good 20/30 minutes before trying again (but of course i'm googling the entire time) [21:22] Styler2go: Then enable ICMP. [21:22] tcstar Thanks, it's been an hour so I'll give it another go. [21:23] What are the default security features in Ubuntu 12.04 (up to date) to help protect against ARP poisoning/spoofing etc? I'm not running a server, just a regular ol' desktop distro. [21:24] tcstar, I want the server and my computer to have their own SSH public keys [21:24] tcstar All of my googling has just told me to modify certain files or tried to teach me how to do MITM attacks [21:24] ok what can i do if ssh is blocked? [21:24] hi all. Ubuntu 12.04. After my last round of updates when a program window is maximized and the dropdown menus are integrated in the top bar, when I mouse over to the min/max/restore buttons they dissappear and are replaced by the app/window title [21:24] I am confused that copying my computer's id_rsa.pub to the server, will overwrite the server's key [21:25] what is the command to search a file on the whole fs? [21:25] angs: depends... [21:25] this makes it impossible to min/exit the window. How can I revert this behavior? [21:25] utterglee: Use another target filename then. [21:25] utterglee -- depending on the method you use -- it'll append your key to the key that's there.... [21:25] angs, I use `ls -alR | grep -i 'yoursearchhere'` : note this is a n00b constructed command, you may find better alternatives [21:25] walex, I would like to search for gpio.h [21:25] tcstar: Thats wrong. [21:26] thank you utterglee [21:26] utterglee: Copy your LOCAL .pub key into the SERVER's authorized_keys file., [21:26] bekks, I can name my client's public key anything other than id_rsa.pub, and SSH will take care of matching the right key? (let's say I have another client, client_2.pub) [21:26] that is awesome... [21:26] angs: try 'find / -name ...' or 'locate' .... or 'dpkg -S' or 'apt-file search' depending [21:27] utterglee: No. [21:27] utterglee: Read again what I wrote please. [21:27] utterglee: your question seem to make little sense [21:27] howdy all [21:27] can anyone help me with some problems i am having with the wubi-move script? [21:28] angs, you gotta be in the root / directory for what I typed to work [21:28] utterglee, thank you [21:28] or you could say `ls -alR / | grep -i 'yoursearch'` [21:28] ...really? [21:28] find / -iname 'something' [21:29] well I did warn that is n00b stuff :p [21:29] utterglee: that's an incredibly slow way [21:29] true, `find` looks way nicer [21:30] cool then I will shift to using that from now [21:30] Or even just "locate something", given indices are up-to-date. [21:30] hello [21:31] bekks, let's say I did ssh-keygen on my first PC and got an id_rsa.pub generated [21:31] utterglee: Then copy the content of that file into authorized_keys on the server, as I said. [21:31] to connect to the server, I copy this file to the server's ~/.ssh/authorized_keys folder, great [21:31] could anyone help me to set up pyload to start up at boot. im pretty desperate by now :( [21:32] now the server has an id_rsa.pub file in that folder [21:32] i tried so much stuff, but it never starts if i reboot [21:32] utterglee: Read what I wrote. I told you twice already what to do. [21:32] now I went ahead and ran the same process in my second PC [21:32] How do I recover a mailman admin password for an ubuntu mailing list? [21:32] I got another id_rsa.pub now, so now I can't use it? [21:33] "use a different target file": you mean ask ssh-keygen to call it something else? [21:33] anyone know ntfsundelete? [21:33] utterglee: Read what I wrote to you twice. [21:33] utterglee: After doing so, read this: https://help.ubuntu.com/community/SSH/OpenSSH/Keys [21:34] It's annoying that it depends on the file name [21:34] can anyone help me with some problems i am having with the wubi-move script? [21:34] I officially approve Ubuntu [21:34] utterglee: It doesnt. READ the link please, as well as what I wrote to you. [21:34] bekks, sorry to be slow but I can't figure it out [21:35] Hello. I am running Xubuntu. Whenever I reactivate my computer from sleep/hibernation mode the speakers make a loud notification sound at pretty much maximum volume. Is there any way to turn the system sounds completely off? [21:35] I swear I read 'what you wrote' each time your ordered me to [21:35] let me try again [21:35] Hello [21:35] c# is a horrible horrible language :( [21:35] utterglee: I wrote exact instructions on what you should do - why dont you read THEM? [21:35] LiquidEssence: Sure, go to pavucontrol ('sound settings' in Xubuntu methinks) and mute the "System Sounds" channel [21:36] bekks, you said "copy the contents of the file into /authorized_keys" [21:36] @theadmin: they are muted [21:36] utterglee: No, I didnt. [21:36] but it still makes that sound [21:36] you actually did [21:36] utterglee: Then copy the content of that file into authorized_keys on the server, as I said. [21:36] utterglee: I didnt. I NEVER used / in what I wrote to you. [21:36] whenever it goes to sleep or returns from sleep [21:36] oh [21:36] LiquidEssence: Hm, okay, I guess that doesn't qualify as "system" then for whatever reason... I never got such a sound on Xubuntu though so it's kinda odd [21:36] right === ident is now known as Guest92247 [21:36] * utterglee kicks self [21:37] utterglee: And did you read the link too? [21:37] anyone use winamp+dsp in virtualbox? [21:37] @theadmin: maybe it's a hardware thing? I have a Lenovo laptop [21:37] LiquidEssence: Hardware playing sounds is... scary [21:37] it does the same thing on my Windows OS as well [21:37] I cant min/close a window that is maxed from the titlebar in 12.04 after last update. Controls are replaced with window title on mouseover. Any help? [21:37] it's funny how I encountered that file before, had to edit it to get rid of 'man in the middle' attack warnings, and yet I thought you were talking about a folder [21:37] utterglee: Just call the file something other than "id_rsa.pub" when copying it to authorized_keys. [21:38] Or not [21:38] no theadmin it's a file... [21:38] where I copy my contents of id_rsa.pub [21:38] utterglee: doh, was just following the conversation [21:38] utterglee: Well, then copy the contents of multiple files there [21:39] this is beautiful [21:39] thanks bekks [21:40] utterglee: From "man sshd": " Each line of the file contains one key (empty lines and lines starting with a ‘#’ are ignored as comments). So there you go. [21:41] @theadmin: it's probably have to do with my computer as such; my brother has an ASUS laptop and it doesn't make any sound on his Xubuntu distro, when he puts it into suspend mode === XenGi is now known as XenGi_ [21:41] i am new to ubuntu and i am having video driver issues where there is a horizontal blur line 3/4 of the way up my screen i tried to use the experimental video drivers and was left with a black screen i reinstalled ubuntu 12.04 and tried 12.10 both of them have issues with the video card i downloaded the newest drivers from nvidia but don't know how to install them [21:41] Hi. I need some help with my 64-bit installation of Ubuntu 12.10 [21:42] LiquidEssence: Well, this is the weirdest thing ever then [21:42] I have several problems. [21:42] 99 [21:42] Eino_: Just ask the questions. [21:42] @theadmin: yes i can imagine :) I just don't know how to fix it :) I'l look around the web some more if this is a Lenovo specific issue [21:43] noticed theres suspect packages in the synaptic package manager under Gparted has anyone else noticed that or are those allright to install [21:43] Every second boot has only black screen. No GRUB, nothing. Just black. [21:43] LiquidEssence: Well, no such sounds on a Dell. [21:43] theadmin: I guess my computer is soooo special then :) [21:43] 2. Steam for Linux tells me: You are missing the following 32-bit libraries, and Steam may not run: käynnistettävää [21:43] käynnistettävää means = starting in english [21:44] Eino_: How did you install Steam? You should use the Software Center. [21:44] theadmin: thx a lot for now, I will look for some more info! [21:44] Theadmin: I did. [21:44] I downloaded the .deb file from steampowered.com and it took me to software centre [21:44] Eino_: That's not what I'm talking about [21:44] Eino_: I'm talking about the version of Steam that's available *in* the software center [21:45] join #ubuntutablet [21:45] oops. [21:45] Hi ubuntu support. I'm currently using gnome3 shell for my DE. Any idea why regardless of whether I erase the data on my drive, my gnome-shell extensions act like they're installed again? They show up on tweak tool and also on the "Installed Extensions" list on site, yet I can't remove them and they're nowhere to be found in .local/share/gnome-shell/extensions [21:45] You want the package name? [21:46] Eino_: https://apps.ubuntu.com/cat/applications/steam/ [21:46] Eino_: This one. [21:47] I need some advice... When playing videos with AC3 audio, some channels are lost in the playback. In general music is playing OK, but not talk. Tested with Totem, VLC and XBMC. HDMI audio, SPDIF plugged into the graphics card internally. [21:47] How I can uninstall the old one [21:47] How can I fix this? [21:47] Nykyiset käyttämäsi ohjelmistolähteet eivät sisällä pakettia "steam". [21:47] it didn't found the package steam [21:47] Eino_: sudo apt-get remove steam:i386 [21:48] sudo apt-get remove steam:i386 [21:48] Package 'steam:i386' is not installed, so not removed [21:48] Eino_: Eh, okay, dpkg -l '*steam*' | pastebinit [21:49] woo: so I figured that I can get windows by chaning the boot order and putting the windows boot loader on top and get ubuntu if I put the hdd on top. what do you think of that? [21:49] theadmin: I found the solution. It is a Lenovo specific function. The Beep alarms had to be turned off in the BIOS setup! [21:49] http://paste.nerv.fi/27747570.txt [21:49] could someone please help me I cannot change my brightness in ubuntu 12.04 !! [21:50] Eino_: Okay, that's an odd one. But remove that "steam-launcher" and use the Software Center to install Steam (not the .deb file, just search for steam in the Software Center) [21:50] it doesn't found package steam-launcher in software centre [21:50] I'm trying to run "sudo -u gitlab -H bundle install --deployment --without development test mysql" but keep getting "sudo: bundle: command not found" because bundle isn't installed for root. How can I run this command then? [21:51] how to uninstall that? [21:51] Eino_: sudo apt-get remove steam-launcher [21:51] okay, that worked, I can now connect over SSH, cool [21:52] how did the system know? I mean, I added a key to authorized_keys, how did the system know to immediately start using key instead of asking for a password? [21:52] jon_w: Use the full path to where "bundle" resides. [21:52] it does not found anything about steam [21:52] utterglee: sshd checks the file whenever you connect [21:52] does anyone know why I can't change my brightness? [21:52] it founds some random apps but not the steam [21:52] Eino_: Which Ubuntu version are you on? [21:52] theadmin thx [21:52] 12.10 [21:52] nice! [21:52] Woah, lots of people here. :O [21:53] Eino_: drrr... It should be there. [21:53] Anyway I'm off [21:53] So I've got a liveusb here and I'd like to make it persistent. I tried this: http://shallowsky.com/blog/linux/install/ubuntu-persistent-live-cd.html [21:54] But unfortunately it can't find casper-rw. Since its a liveusb I'm not exactly sure where to point it to. [21:54] ohai [21:54] I have too much problems with this f***ing Canoncial bul***it. Does not found Steam, every second boot has black screen, cannot set to autolaunch Ubuntu have to use GRUB. Random system fatal errors. CAps LOck PROblem. [21:55] hello world [21:55] sounds bad [21:55] Can someone help me? [21:55] i've never had issues with ubuntu, even when running out of the box. it just...works. [21:55] Eino_ start with minding your language [21:55] +1 [21:55] I would, but this just NOT work! [21:55] Steam can be frustrating [21:55] hey guys\ [21:56] But yes, i would agree...calm down... [21:56] I want operating system that works, but this does not. There are FEW problems: Does not found Steam, every second boot has black screen, cannot set to autolaunch Ubuntu have to use GRUB. Random system fatal errors. CAps LOck PROblem. [21:56] These people aren't exactly getting paid to help you. [21:56] Eino_ steam for linux is still in beta, you can't blame linux for that [21:56] I am trying to enable the HDMI port on my nVidia 210 [21:56] Monkey, overread that still [21:56] I have still many problems: every second boot has black screen, cannot set to autolaunch Ubuntu have to use GRUB. Random system fatal errors. CAps LOck PROblem. [21:56] Are you new to Ubuntu/linux? [21:57] The nvidia-settings util says the driver is not new enough to show the Xorg settings [21:57] I have used Linux before [21:57] and always uninstalled Ubuntu because it does not ork [21:57] no one says linux... [21:57] i wanted to give it a try [21:57] but.. [21:57] And I have not problems with steam [21:57] Well it takes time to work just like any new system. [21:57] it just DOES NOT FOUND THE PACKAGE [21:58] Erm, have you followed the instructions on steam's support? [21:58] yes [21:58] Added the repository, enabled it, tried getting it manually through terminal? [21:58] Every second boot is black - it is not about my experience. [21:58] yes yes yes [21:58] Even downloaded the package manually [21:58] Dunno, I did the same and mine works like a charm. [21:58] can anyone help with nVidia? [21:59] No luck with this F***untu. [21:59] PengunCSC: you'll have to wait a bit, it seems. === XenGi_ is now known as XenGi [21:59] Eino_: have you checked your log files like Xorg.0 for display issues? [21:59] Eino_: i would suggest to target every issue as a single task [21:59] I'm waiting for someone to help me change my liveusb to persistent [21:59] PengunCSC, what's up? I have an nVidia card [21:59] Eino_: what happends when you type apt-cache policy steam? [21:59] Solaris: how? I can paste if you give me instructionsa [21:59] SolarisBoy: let me check [21:59] Monotoko: I have a geforce 210 [22:00] blackroseblade, have a look at unetbootin - but you'll have to format the drive first [22:00] Eino_: are you trying to install steam? [22:00] I am trying to activate the HDMI port [22:00] Eino_: sudo apt-get install pastebinit [22:00] it has an option for persistent storage [22:00] PengunCSC, what's the problem? [22:00] No multiple screens in the native Displays tool [22:00] The nvidia-settings util says the driver is not new enough to show the Xorg settings [22:00] Eino_: when you have output to post pipe it to the command "uptime | pastebinit" . and post the link which is returned on your terminal [22:01] Eino_: thats an example there is no need to actually run uptime however [22:01] PengunCSC, ahhh... I can't help you there sorry :( I'm too poor to have multiple screens :P [22:01] hy i have a little question how is the console called that opens when you press ctrl+ Fx ? [22:01] http://paste.nerv.fi/28895476.txt [22:01] maxbit: you mean the terminal? [22:02] jap my problem is that it doesn't open on my xubuntu [22:02] Eino_: are you running 32bit or 64bit Ubuntu? [22:02] maxbit, ctrl+alt+F1 ? [22:02] 64bit [22:03] Eino_: Installed (none) in your language? in that output? [22:03] -.^ my foult [22:03] Eino_: are you trying to install Steam64? [22:03] yes [22:03] thx [22:03] Can anyone help me with migrating a Wubi install? [22:03] i can try [22:03] sudo apt-get install Steam64 ? [22:03] Eino_: what architecture is your hardware? [22:03] Eino_: sudo dpkg --add-architecture i386 [22:04] Eino_: then "sudo apt-get update" then "sudo apt-get install steam64" [22:04] darkhelmet46, migrate to where? [22:04] Monotoko, migrate to its own partition. [22:04] wiggmpk: will try [22:04] I believe you will need to reinstall... [22:04] wiggmpk: Which will make your system mix up i386 and x86_64 forever. [22:04] Eino_: Dont do it until you knwo what those commands do. [22:04] madness.. [22:04] bekks: steam depends on i386 packages [22:05] Monotoko, I tried this: http://askubuntu.com/questions/635/how-to-convert-wubi-install-into-regular-install [22:05] SolarisBoy: I don't really know. I have AMD Phenom Quad-Core N970 [22:05] But it errored out. [22:05] wiggmpk: it should isntall that by itself [22:05] i have a video problem i am running 64bit 12.04 tried the drivers from additional drivers and one of them left me with a black screen so i had to reinstall ubuntu again [22:05] darkhelmet46, what was the error? [22:05] wiggmpk: I know. But there is NO reason to force your system mixing up architectures. Steam will pull all dependencies needed. [22:05] does not found package stea4 [22:05] steam64 [22:05] wubi-move.sh: An error occurred within chroot [22:05] wubi-move.sh: Error is: /usr/sbin/grub-bios-setup: warning: this LDM has no Embedding Partition; embedding won't be possible [22:06] /usr/sbin/grub-bios-setup: warning: Embedding is not possible.

[22:07] I did update and then tried the package [22:07] no luck === IboS_ is now known as IboS [22:07] i dont recall steam being in the ubuntu repo [22:07] [00:03] Eino_: sudo dpkg --add-architecture i386 [00:04] Eino_: then "sudo apt-get update" then "sudo apt-get install steam64" [22:07] darkhelmet46, what command did you run? [22:08] Eino_: First, you should undo that sudo dpkg --add-architecture i386, it will lead to problems in the future. [22:08] how [22:08] SolarisBoy: it isnt [22:08] bekks: how? [22:08] so i wonder how this is complexing Eino_ . [22:08] Monotoko, sudo bash wubi-move.sh /dev/sda2 /dev/sda3 [22:09] if you haven't added the ppa for steam the package wont be available [22:09] you need a own repo for steam [22:09] how do I uninstall X server and install nvidia's 310.xx drivers? [22:09] darkhelmet46, I have an idea... download the Ubuntu LiveCD, run the command again with "--no-bootloader" then install the bootloader from the live CD [22:09] SolarisBoy: yep [22:09] Oh God, so many questions. D: [22:09] first tell me how to undo that udo dpkg --add-architecture i386 [22:09] before adding any new repo [22:09] blackroseblade: You do NOT uninstall the X server. [22:09] *sudo dpkg --add-architecture i386 [22:09] heh [22:09] blackroseblade: dont uninstall x server [22:09] oh dear. then what do I do? [22:09] k1l: bekks: i have to leave atm, but could one of you PM me with what problems it may cause by adding the another architecture, still learning myself [22:09] Luckily it's a liveusb, so I can still experiment and learn without breaking anything. [22:10] lol crap [22:10] they tell me to undo [22:10] blackroseblade: install nvidia-current [22:10] It says please exit X server before installing nvidia [22:10] but then don't tell how to do that [22:10] . [22:10] blackroseblade: Just install the latest nvidia driver: nvidia-current [22:10] Alright kll, installing nvidia current [22:10] Eino_: dont just type commands people give you without knowing what they will do in the future [22:10] Eino_: your only chance is to calm down. your tone is not helping and not motivating others to help you [22:11] Monotoko, Here was my idea, technically the bootloader must already be installed, otherwise I wouldn't be able to dual-boot to the Wubi install of Ubuntu, correct? So can I just edit the existing bootloader and give it the new path? [22:11] anyone have tips on determining why a filesystem won't unmount? I have a lvm-over-luks setup and cannot close the luks device (after deactivating lvm) http://paste.ubuntu.com/5559891/ [22:11] darkhelmet46, not exactly... it's the Windows bootloader that boots into WUBI [22:11] will 3D acceleration work with this? [22:11] SolarisBoy: what kind of support channel this is then? [22:11] blackroseblade: that will install 304.43 nvidia driver [22:11] And how does it differ from the 310? [22:11] Eino_: a free one [22:11] mono Crap. [22:11] it would be nice if I can trust official support channels [22:11] Monotoko, Crap. [22:11] one says one thing and another another [22:11] hi. I'm missing my ibus sometimes. could someone check it, please: http://ubuntuforums.org/showthread.php?t=2116673 [22:12] Eino_: it doesn't matter who it is tell you something. support or not. have some common sense about your self. [22:12] darkhelmet46, you need the GRUB bootloader which it can't install from the Wubi for whatever reason... but you can still do the transfer, then just boot from the LiveCD and install the bootloader from there [22:12] SolarisBoy: ok, could you then please tell me how to undo that? [22:12] I thought that the latest nvidia 310 releases improved a lot on 3d accel on linux? [22:12] Eino_: im investigating. [22:12] of course i could end my life with format / [22:12] *sudo format / [22:12] Monotoko, I will try that. I believe it did everything except install Grub, so I should be able to burn a liveCD and do that. What would be the procedure? [22:12] SolarisBoy: ok :) [22:12] blackroseblade: install nvidia-experimental-310 if you want 310. or if you need it. but be aware of that experimental [22:13] whats format? [22:13] heh [22:13] SolarisBoy: echo|format ;) [22:13] What about 313 then? All of them are certified apparently. [22:13] lol [22:13] darkhelmet46, same procedure as here: https://help.ubuntu.com/community/RecoveringUbuntuAfterInstallingWindows [22:13] Not WHQL I mean, but certified for unix [22:13] alias format="dd" [22:13] sudo format / [22:13] will that work? [22:13] xD [22:13] dude... dont worry about that [22:13] Eino_: No. That command does not exist. [22:13] Monotoko, Thanks I will give it a shot. Question, the LiveCD I have is probably from version 8 or 9 of Ubuntu, do you think that matters? [22:14] blackroseblade: be aware of that experimental [22:14] oh [22:14] lol he was ready to do it too... [22:14] darkhelmet46, you should probably use the latest [22:14] smh - [22:14] Hmmm, alright then kll, I'll stick with nvidia current. [22:14] hello I can not make my wireless keyboard and mouse to work under ubuntu 12.04. Here is pastebin: Bus 001 Device 004: ID 05fe:0011 Chic Technology Corp. Browser Mouse can you help me ?

[22:14] Eino_: No. Posting nonsense like that is NOT cool. [22:14] blackroseblade, are you on a Macbook? [22:14] Eino_: do you want help or just rant and flame? [22:14] Now, for my original query. How can I turn my liveusb persistent? [22:14] darkhelmet46, I can't remember when... but at some point they switched from GRUB to GRUB2 [22:15] neirpyc: no, ordinary desktop [22:15] i am using nvidia current and get video glitches with my card [22:15] intel, kingston ram, nvidia card, the works [22:15] To undo command: 00:03] Eino_: sudo dpkg --add-architecture i386 [00:04] Eino_: then "sudo apt-get update" then "sudo apt-get install steam64" [22:15] i mean this: sudo dpkg --add-architecture i386 [22:15] must undo it [22:16] Eino_: can you paste the output of dpkg --print-foreign-architectures and dpkg --print-architecture (to paste bin) [22:16] i wish ubuntu supported the gforce gfx 560 :( [22:16] rickb: i thought nvidia's latest drivers do support it? [22:16] It's about nvidia, not ubuntu iirc [22:17] SolarisBoy: couldn't he just remove the entry from /etc/dpkg/dpkg.cfg.d/multiarch? [22:17] true but the latest drivers just break X [22:17] rickb, there's a special way to install them [22:17] SolarisBoy: ok [22:17] i guess - i never used that argument [22:17] Monotoko: adding the repo and then installin the package? [22:17] rickb, no... hold on let me find what I used [22:17] oh cool [22:17] http://paste.ubuntu.com/5559913/ [22:18] i was reading the man page to confirm - if you know that you can do it wiggmpk may as well suggest huh? [22:18] Monotoko, what trick is that? When I try to install nvidia-current-updates on my Macbook, it wrecks everything when it tries to start x. [22:18] how do you see what is on your system (hardware) [22:18] gordon_: sudo lspci |more [22:18] dpkg: virhe: --print-foreign-architectures ei tarvitse määrittelyjä = dpkg: error: --print-foreign-architectures does not need prefences [22:18] or something.. [22:18] lshw too [22:18] <_d4vid> hello guys i have a questions after install 12.04.2 i become kernel 3.5 or need upgrade from 3.2 to 3.5 version of kernel? please help me [22:19] Eino_: thats incorrect sytax in your paste [22:19] rickb, here: http://www.dedoimedo.com/computers/ubuntu-quetzal-nvidia.html [22:19] it's two commands [22:19] you need to install the kernel sources first [22:19] oh [22:19] xD [22:19] remove the and and press enter instead [22:19] so it can build the modules and not break X in the process [22:19] Monotoko: thank you, i'm already botched. [22:19] that helps [22:20] Monotoko, when I tried that, it just kept telling me that the linux-headers and stuff weren't needed and wanted to autoremove them. Is that normal? [22:20] ok imma go try this. [22:20] http://paste.ubuntu.com/5559915/ [22:20] neirpyc: macs are all messed up with anything not mac lol [22:20] brb [22:20] why is --add-architecture not in the man page for dpkg? [22:20] is there a way to see what specific video card is on my system or what ubuntu thinks it is [22:20] neirpyc, was this after you installed the drivers? [22:21] <_d4vid> anybody can answer me? [22:21] SolarisBoy: what? [22:21] <_d4vid> please [22:21] <_d4vid> guys [22:21] Anyone running ubuntu on a macbook pro? I need to pass the kernel some options when it boots so i can fix my nvidia driver. How do you pause the efi boot loader?

It's verry very difficult to keep up with everyone [22:21] <_d4vid> Monotoko, iam sorry === cubix``132 is now known as cubix` [22:21] SolarisBoy: http://paste.ubuntu.com/5559915/ [22:21] portlane.se.quakenet.org [22:22] Monotoko, if I install the nvidia-current-updates and reboot, my screen turns off after grub. [22:22] I'm pretty familiar with IRC and netiquette, but still i gotta ask. How is a person supposed to keep track of their question in here? [22:22] _d4vid, generally you leave the kernel alone... what are you trying to do? [22:22] if I've not been answered in 10 minutes can I assume that I need to repeat my question? [22:22] especially since we have such a huge amount of users in here. [22:22] blackroseblade, didn't I answer your question? [22:22] Eino_: try this 'sudo mv /etc/dpkg/dpkg.cfg.d/multiarch /tmp && dpkg --print-foreign-architectures' [22:23] Monotoko: I'm sorry, I meant my original query. [22:23] About making a liveusb persistent. [22:23] Monotoko, I've tried uninstalling nvidia from the login terminal if I pass "text" then installing the linux-headers then reinstalling but I get the same thing with the screen turning off. [22:23] mv: tiedoston ”/etc/dpkg/dpkg.cfg.d/multiarch” tilaa ei voi lukea: Tiedostoa tai hakemistoa ei ole [22:23] <_d4vid> Monotoko, my questions was .. i will to install 12.04.2 but i dont know what for version kernel i become after install 3.2 or 3.5?

[22:24] _d4vid: with .2 you will have the new kernel stack. when upgrading from .1 you neeed to add a package to get new kernel [22:24] <_d4vid> k1l, no i will new install not upgrade [22:25] Yeah but can't I change my current one to persistence? I'll google up unetbootin [22:25] SolarisBoy: It says translated: "at total 0" [22:25] blackroseblade, I don't think so [22:25] What about this: http://shallowsky.com/blog/linux/install/ubuntu-persistent-live-cd.html [22:25] I tried that, except the target was invalid(not found) [22:25] not sure then [22:26] <_d4vid> k1l, danke dir mehrmals.. [22:26] oh god i hate this channel.. and canoncial.. one people say "do it" other say "don't do it" [22:26] all thats going to do apparently is make you not have to type --force-architecture when you install things (if you had to when you instsalled it) anyway [22:26] Eino_: Welcome to irc :p [22:27] lol [22:27] Eino_, we're a community... with lots of different opinions on different things [22:27] ^ [22:27] ok [22:27] but now please teach e [22:27] how to install steam === s is now known as Guest19934 [22:27] Eino_, no idea... haven't tried it yet I'm afraid [22:27] Eino_: last time: stop that ranting and flaming [22:27] the .deb file provided in steam wiki does not wor [22:27] k [22:27] Eino_: install it through softwarecenter?

[22:50] my system was unrecoverable. no data on it so i wiped it. i'm going to give that howto a shot once it's loaded back up. [22:50] I think [22:50] but there is also a remap memory problem i think [22:51] Anybody have a favourite _simple_ OCR program? I'm hoping for something that'll let me simply `ocrbuddy somefile.png > output.txt`, with line breaks where there are line breaks, no need for multi-column, etc. [22:51] yes I believe so, all this is well covered in old debian howtos [22:52] normally an i.p/netmask would be banned by eg. denyhosts [22:52] My dpkg/selinux/vmlinuz is trowing errors when installing unetbootin and others tried purge -f install installl http://pastebin.com/xaZie6yX any ideas?

[22:55] haha like that [22:55] i dont know about remapping ram. but if your mainboard vga takes 0.9GB ram you have to set that in the bios, if possible [22:56] because my bios hasn't this option ( remap memory ) and no update available for it [22:56] right but i see no option about this [22:56] ( btw thanks to help me another time ) === jyg is now known as Guest25319 [22:58] hille [22:59] is there anybody here using gadmei utv380 on ubuntu?

[23:04] I just get this popup that asks for my PW [23:04] I'm not giving my PW to this unknown thing [23:05] i mean its quite computationally intensive but its not using 100% of my cpu which i dont understand [23:06] Glagnar: Then you have to investigate the source code, and possibly rewrite it for using 100% of your CPU. [23:06] ldiamond: press: more information (or similar to this) [23:06] ldiamond: its apport bug service which collects the information [23:06] i have a tablet here and i was wondeirng if the ubuntu tablet version is beta available? i saw the guy from south africa talking about it. is there anything availbe now for testing for our tablets?

[23:10] does anyone use ubuntu on a macbook air? i needd to know how to configure the touchpad so its not so overly sensitive [23:10] Glagnar: just use java and it will eat ya CPU (sorry for kiddin) :D [23:11] Hello everyone [23:11] k1l, just let me tell you this, I need to switch to the DE ratpoison or as I like to call it ratp0is0n [23:11] I am new to ubuntu had 12.10 installed but due to a display glitch decided to move to 12.04LTS. In the process found Edubuntu 12.04.Since I have kids i decided to install this. The boot cd worked fine and was connected to Internet during install... Now it does not pick any of the wireless [23:11] networks [23:11] What is the cheapest device that can read pdf's ? [23:11] WBF: so just choose the session in lightdm? [23:11] k1l, how? [23:12] did this install about half an hour ago. It did not connect to the internet when i started the new installation [23:12] lol threepwood im numerically modelling a physical system I don’t understand why it isnt using 100% of one of my cpus [23:12] the option for wireless Networks in the top right button is shaded (can't click on it) [23:12] WBF: log out? [23:12] nu2ub_ do ifconfig -a [23:12] and paste it to pastebin [23:12] k1l, there is no button there. [23:12] show us [23:12] ok [23:12] WBF: sure it is [23:12] k1l, will try once more [23:13] Glagnar: locks? waiting for some io? dunno :) [23:13] Glagnar: there are plenty of reasons [23:13] answer my question. does anyone use ubuntu on a macbook air? I understand this is a busy channel. but every time I join i never get help. just saying. not upset. just need some help:) [23:13] atc3030: tell me about it... [23:14] I have installed Ubuntu numerous times on my mid 2011 macbook air and the touchpad is always outta wack. it is too sensitive. the onetime so bad it would pick up my palm that was sitting about 3 inches off the pad === DZEND is now known as dzend [23:14] Guys can someone help? I've got audio not sounding right. The chipset is supposed to boost the sound through the builtin op-amp, except the application to control it is windows only. How can I get similar functionality in ubuntu? [23:14] !ask | atc3030 [23:14] atc3030: Please don't ask to ask a question, simply ask the question (all on ONE line and in the channel, so that others can read and follow it easily). If anyone knows the answer they will most likely reply. :-) See also !patience [23:15] it also would pick up my finger hovering about 1/2 inch vertically above the pad [23:15] atc3030: I assume you've already tried Mouse and Touchpad in settings? [23:15] LOL [23:15] electromagnetic fingers [23:15] yep. I've also tried different drivers such as touch egg, semantics and x11 stuff [23:15] Threepwood i wish that was the answer but im solving the random walk problem so im not reading any data i just wish it was using all my cpu resources [23:15] k1l, not working there is no button there [23:15] I have a RAID5 array which used to consist of three 2TB drives. Last week I added another drive and after that I grew the array to include four devices. Although, I forgot to modify the filesystem size. I will attempt to do this overnight, but I'm wondering if this command is correct: "mdadm --grow /dev/md0 --size=max" [23:16] Later I had deleted one fgrlx file of my system my pc is a little slow.. I really do not know what is the file, but, it happened. Should I reinstall my driver now! [23:16] WBF: which desktop are you running now? [23:16] Plizzo: That willnot change the filesystem size at all. [23:16] atc3030: check your usb ports, sounds like somebody plugged in a wireless mouse just to mess with you [23:16] k1l, regular ubuntu [23:16] WBF: which is unity? [23:16] *fglrx* I always do that... fgrlx. [23:16] k1l, yes === JoFo_ is now known as JoFo [23:17] bekks: Why not? I currently have 6TB in my array, but the partition is only 4TB. How can I fix that? [23:17] Plizzo: That will change the size of the md0 device, but not of the filesystem you created on md0. [23:17] Plizzo: Dont mix up device size, partition size, filesystem size. [23:17] I am now using the new 13.02 beta driver of AMD. A good choice by the way. [23:17] resize2fs to the rescue [23:17] bekks: Oh, alright, then how do I go about increasing the filesystem to expand to the full device size? [23:17] http://pastebin.com/VPL2tDUB [23:18] Plizzo: you can use gparted if you want, that'll do that [23:18] Plizzo: Depends on the filesystem type. [23:18] WBF: so you cant find the logout menu entry in the session indicator? [23:18] On Kubuntu... Other good choice.. KDE is the best of all. [23:18] it is in the pastebin [23:19] k1l, I can but when I try to login with that DE it doesn't work because there.is.no.button.there. [23:19] My dpkg/selinux/vmlinuz is trowing errors when installing unetbootin and others tried purge -f install installl http://pastebin.com/xaZie6yX any ideas? [23:19] bekks: All the drives as far as I know are ext4, fdisk -l shows this System: [23:19] WBF: ahh ok. so there is no ratpoison entry in lightdm? [23:19] bekks: Linux raid autodetect [23:19] my ubuntu is throwing errors upon updating - http://pastebin.com/rSDSPxaW [23:19] Anyone?? [23:19] any ideas? [23:19] k1l, yes there is none [23:19] Plizzo: Thats not a filesystem, but a partition type. [23:20] Later I had deleted one fglrx file of my system, it is a little slow.. I really do not know what is the file, but, it happened. Should I reinstall my driver now! [23:20] ?? was a question! [23:20] i am normally more professional than this but this is just freaking ridiculous. this channel obviously cannot handle the demand. It sucks you have to have a bot to auto reply when someone has to point that out. sorry and no disrespect meant. but just kinda lets me down. good day. [23:20] #fedora-devel [23:20] how do i make a program have absolute priority other others? [23:21] !fglrx | Physicist [23:21] Physicist, please see my private message [23:21] Glagnar: Just use "nice" and "renice". [23:21] bekks can you give an example? [23:21] bekks: Also, I learned that when adding a disk to a mdadm array, the disk would be formatted automatically. I added a disk (/dev/sde) which had an GPT System on it and two partitions. It is now part of my RAID but still has a GUID table. What do I do? [23:22] WBF: see if this works: http://crunchbang.org/forums/viewtopic.php?id=20591 [23:22] Plizzo: First, you have to tell us which filesystem type you are using. [23:22] 'KromiX' you here [23:22] would ubuntu still work if i converted the hard drive that its on into a dynamic disk? [23:22] bekks: How do I check? [23:23] Plizzo: By looking at the output of "mount" or "sudo blkid" [23:24] anyone able to help me with wireless [23:24] bekks: I used df -T [23:24] bekks: /dev/md0 ext4 [23:24] nu2ub_: what's the problem with the wireless? [23:24] !ask | nu2ub_ [23:24] nu2ub_: Please don't ask to ask a question, simply ask the question (all on ONE line and in the channel, so that others can read and follow it easily). If anyone knows the answer they will most likely reply. :-) See also !patience [23:24] Plizzo: Then you can just use resize2fs after growing md0. [23:24] would ubuntu still work if i converted the hard drive that its on into a dynamic disk? [23:24] So, anyone using rEFIt to boot ubuntu on a mac? I need to recover my install [23:25] Plizzo: that will then grow the ext4 filesystem on md0. [23:25] bekks: It says 3845715976 1K-blocks, 3599869600 used and 50495184 available. That should mean it could be expanded for quite a bit of more space? [23:25] did a fresh install but after reboot the system is not picking up any wireless addreses [23:25] Plizzo: I have no clue "what" says that, and which command you are running. Nor is that the complete output of a command. [23:26] mdh [23:26] nu2ub_: what kind of wireless adapter do you have? or which model of laptop? [23:26] k1l [23:26] bekks: So I just run "resize2fs /dev/md0" and it should all be ok? [23:26] I have a gateway NV 58 [23:26] gonna try it now k1l [23:27] the wireless worked when i was using ubuntu 12.10 and while I had the new installation DVD [23:27] running [23:27] Plizzo: No. You should carefully read the options and the usage of resize2fs: "man resize2fs" [23:27] !tablet [23:27] The Ubuntu tablet can be discussed in #ubuntu-tablet or #ubuntu-discuss, please remember that #ubuntu is for support only. [23:27] thanks [23:27] so during install it was working but now the wireless options are shaded and it is not picking any of the channels [23:27] would ubuntu still work if i converted the hard drive that its on into a dynamic disk? [23:28] cheers bekks that’s increased the speed although not to 100% [23:29] how do i make my name turn red when i am addressing a specific person [23:29] hello all [23:29] guys my computer's doing it again. This time I know very well that I had (or rather have) over 90GB of free space. But the command 'df -h' gives me a full disk, as well as repeated warnings [23:29] nu2ub_: type their name and it usually does [23:29] bekks: I've read the man page, and there are not many options for the kind of operation I'm performing... [23:30] ntzrmtthihu777 thanks [23:30] can someone give me a resource to using the cpu to 100% please [23:30] Plizzo: Those few options my render your filesystem in chaos. === gordon is now known as Guest17476 [23:30] مرحبا [23:30] ntzrmtthihu777 did it work [23:30] rebooting doesn't help (it did when my disk was checked for errors, but that was after over 20 cycles, so it won't happen again any time soon) [23:30] nu2ub_: i'm still looking for what kind of card it is [23:30] bekks: So what do you suggest, I've read everything and can't find any option that will help me. Could you help me assembe a command then? [23:31] yup, you're yello to me nu2ub_ [23:31] how can i check it here [23:31] !arabic | mussa [23:31] mussa: For Arabic language support, please : /join #ubuntu-arabic : للحصول على الدعم باللغة العربية [23:31] mdh can I do it in the terminal [23:31] or setting the priortry of a process [23:31] luckybunny: you've given no specific information about what is wrong. [23:31] any command that will show the hardware type [23:31] Plizzo: You should just understand what those options do and you have to decide wether you want them or better not use them. [23:31] yeah, is it pci or usb? [23:31] Plizzo: Most likely, you do NOT want to disable safety checks, e.g. [23:31] Fah: my disk is reading as full, when I know it has over 90GB of free space [23:32] mdh the hardware was working with ubuntu 12.10 and while I was using the installation CD. [23:32] luckybunny: that seems improbable. Are you getting errors? Have you looked at what df shows for disk usage? [23:33] when installing wine i get the error message package dependencies cannot be resolved is it possible for my system to use wine ? or do i need to go back to windows? [23:33] df -h shows the disk 100% used [23:33] mdh the installation cd for this Install (edubun 12.04 lts) [23:33] nu2ub_: is the wireless connection showing up in the connection manager, just no access points showing up? [23:33] luckybunny: well it's probably full. Have you seen what the biggest directories are? [23:34] I have not downloaded anything (especially not anything 90GB in size) in the past day, but I had 90GB free this morning [23:34] luckybunny: so? is something spewing log messages? Is something writing stuff to the filesystem? the only way to find it is to look [23:35] ok... how do I do that? [23:35] mdh yes a blank wireless adapter is showing but no networks and the wireless connections button used to search for connections can't be clicked as it is shaded [23:35] nu2ub_: i really don't know what could be causing that, sorry [23:36] luckybunny: start with du on the full file system? do -k /mount/point | sort -nr | head -n 20 to see the top 20 largest dirs? Then drill down from there [23:36] bekks: I've been through multiple tutorials and neither of them use any kinds of options for the command. Look at this for example... http://www.allmyit.com.au/mdadm-growing-raid5-array-ubuntu === l is now known as Guest52447 [23:36] nu2ub_: lspci should list your wireless card [23:36] mdh thanks for trying [23:37] im really sorry for spamming but ive set nice to -19 but my programme is still only using 9-15% of my cpu what can i do to make it use 100%? [23:37] ntzrmtthihu777 will try that [23:37] Plizzo: You should understand what those options do and why you dont want them, instead of comparing zillions off howtos. [23:37] Has anyone here created a wifi hotspot b4? [23:38] bekks: I understand what the options do.. but clearly I don't need them since not a single person that used them used the options.. [23:38] Plizzo: People often do use them when needed. [23:39] ntzrmtthihu777 i dont see any problems there [23:39] bekks: Can I ask you something? When I used sudo mdadm --examine /dev/sdd I get this response: [23:39] Plizzo: But as long as you really do know why you dont want to use them, you are safe. [23:39] bekks: MBR Magic : aa55 [23:39] Partition[0] : 3907027120 sectors at 2048 (type fd) [23:39] Glagnar: if you want load, while true; do true; done [23:39] bekks: But then when I examine my latest addition to the array, /dev/sde I get this: [23:39] wifi hotspots anyone? [23:40] Glagnar: run a bunch of threads [23:40] Plizzo: Use a pastebin service please. [23:40] bekks: http://paste.ubuntu.com/5560109/ [23:40] bekks: And this is /dev/sdd: http://paste.ubuntu.com/5560110/ [23:40] Plizzo: And...? [23:41] The response is much different, and they're all active disks in the RAID? [23:41] Plizzo: You have to check wether they are members of the RAID. I cant guess it. [23:41] I'd tryed crack my own wireless with backtrack but could not because a broadcom driver of my system.. I did not know. now I know that. I will try again with no index error. [23:41] bekks: They are members of the raid [23:41] nu2ub_: if you can find out what kind of wireless card you have you can be more specific in your searches for help, is it a broadcom sta? [23:41] Plizzo: So your question is answered, isnt it? :) [23:42] bekks: No, why does the response differ? [23:42] bekks: I mean, shouldn't it all be the same? [23:42] Fah: this is my code it should be at 100% but it isn't ?: http://pastebin.com/LepV5ihf [23:42] Backtrack use KDE environment too.. I lake that. But I do not know what is the environment of Slackware that I am downloading. [23:42] bekks: Or maybe /dev/sde has become a main disk of some sort? It says the array is linear so I guess it has to have a starting unit [23:42] Plizzo: Not necessarily, the output heavily depends on your hardware setup. [23:43] **like** [23:43] hotspot help? [23:43] bekks: Alright, well thanks. I'm sorry for bombarding you with questions. I'm decent with Linux but I'm just terrified that any misstake will completely wipe my array :/ [23:43] notStewpid: Did you already ask a specific question? [23:44] ummmmm, nooooo... [23:44] Plizzo: Which is not tragically, since you have a backup, dont you. === Karbowiak is now known as zz_Karbowiak [23:44] notStewpid: Then do it now... [23:44] Has anyone here used wifi hotspots in ubuntu? [23:44] bekks: I have backups of all the files that are important, but not a full scale backup since it's 4TB of data which mostly consists of movies and tv shows [23:44] !anyone | notStewpid [23:44] notStewpid: A high percentage of the first questions asked in this channel start with "Does anyone/anybody..."
