iceman | why idea why it hangs and error out, when i run 'aptitude install sysinfo' ? http://pastebin.com/m8gJvRxa | 00:00 |
jamesgcd | Ikonia - would the shred tool accept the partition as a file :p? | 00:01 |
iceman | i get responses when ping the the repos host. | 00:01 |
ikonia | iceman: your network does not appear to be working, or the host 91.189.91.14 is down | 00:01 |
ikonia | jamesgcd: normally | 00:01 |
ikonia | iceman: telnet to it on port 80 | 00:01 |
yown | ikonia: Then why did you say "you'll need to work out the start/end block bounderies, or change working of mb/kb sizings" "if you don't set the start/end you'll end up doing the whole disk" "dd knows nothing about partitions, so you have to set a start/stop point for dd" if I can just point it to the partition and have it do that spaceof the HDD. | 00:01 |
iceman | will try | 00:01 |
ikonia | yown because it doesn't | 00:02 |
jamesgcd | ikonia I'm not sure upon the syntax of using shred, but if you are I'd suggest telling yown about it. It seems much more fit for purpose than DD :p | 00:02 |
yown | ikonia: More specific please | 00:02 |
smcguinness | i'm trying to restart HAProxy via SSH through Jenkins however the service call requires sudo | 00:02 |
ikonia | jamesgcd: the whole processing of dd'ing the disk seems overkill. | 00:02 |
ikonia | yown: sorry, specific about what ? | 00:02 |
ikonia | yown: just dd the partition..... | 00:02 |
smcguinness | is there a way to have that service restart not require sudo password | 00:02 |
=== jeff_ is now known as Guest70411 | ||
ikonia | yown: I doubt your data could be that important to be honest, and you'll end up making a mess of it, but just get on with dd'ing the partition | 00:03 |
yown | ikonia: "because it doesn't" Because what doesn't what? | 00:03 |
Guest70411 | wondering if someone knows how to use github to start contributing to Mozmill | 00:03 |
ikonia | yown: dd knows nothing about partitions, it's dumb | 00:03 |
jakey | hi, how do I compile a program from source or do you have to read the readme each time | 00:03 |
iceman | hmm... look like 91.189.91.14 is not listening on port 80 | 00:03 |
=== wedgwood is now known as wedgwood_away | ||
ikonia | iceman: there you go then | 00:03 |
jamesgcd | Tm0 I'm still trying to google any fixes but it seems like something your network admin might be able to help with :). They could diagnose any issues on the schools end if there is any | 00:03 |
yown | ikonia: But you said if I pointed dd to the partitions address, it will do that area of the drive and only that. Well if that is true, then it has to know something of the partition to work only on said partition | 00:04 |
jakey | hi, how do I compile a program from source or do you have to read the readme each time? | 00:05 |
thiebaude | !compile | 00:05 |
ubottu | Compiling software from source? Read the tips at https://help.ubuntu.com/community/CompilingSoftware (But remember to search for pre-built !packages first). Also read !checkinstall | 00:05 |
Tm0 | jamesgcd They don't. They are graduates of the program here. They don't know how to work with Linux... | 00:06 |
iceman | where can i get a list of working repos for ubuntu 12.10 x64? | 00:06 |
jamesgcd | Tm0 if you hide the fact its linux and have them try diagnose it, from their perspective it shouldnt make much difference since the protocols for the wifi will be the same with Linux as with Windows :p | 00:08 |
mawuli_ypa | Hi, i am configuring a mail server and i mistakenly changed the ownership of /var/mail | 00:09 |
mawuli_ypa | how do i revert that? I mean, who/application normally owns this directory | 00:09 |
mawuli_ypa | ? | 00:09 |
Tm0 | jamesgcd From that point it should be working. My phone connects. My friends windows laptop does. | 00:11 |
jamesgcd | mawuli_ypa: on my 12.04 server, /var/mail is owned by root and grouped by mail, with read write and execute permissions for owner group and others. | 00:11 |
mawuli_ypa | ok. thanks | 00:11 |
ai6pg | drwxrwsr-x 2 root mail 4096 Feb 25 07:56 mail | 00:11 |
mawuli_ypa | i just made the changes | 00:13 |
yown | jamesgcd: I have also heard of shred, but I guess that does more data obliterating then I need/too time intensive | 00:13 |
jamesgcd | yown theres no difference between writing with DD or shred assuming you set shred to only run once | 00:13 |
jamesgcd | yown I suppose you could use DD to set a trillion nyan cat gifs on the partition instead of random data, but in terms of write time, they'll achieve the same results | 00:14 |
Tm0 | jamesgcd Thanks for your help. I guess ima just gonna have to dual boot until I can get it working. | 00:15 |
jamesgcd | That awkward moment when you find useful information JUST as they leave the chat | 00:15 |
yown | jamesgcd: I understand shred does 3 passes, and writes random data stuff rather the just 0's | 00:16 |
yown | which is going to take longer | 00:16 |
puff | Several times over the past couple of hours my computer has played a tone. It sounds similar to the tone I hear in empathy when somebody talks at me, or from facebook chat. However, empathy (which was running) doesn't show anybody trying to chat with me, and I don't have a facebook window open. Is there anywhere I can look to see what caused the tone? | 00:16 |
jakey | which java run-time and compiler should i use | 00:17 |
jamesgcd | yown from what I heard it did 25, but there is a setting which lets you configure it to whatever you want. Additionally, whether it writes a 1 or writes a 0 is irrelevant, they take the same amount of time to write | 00:17 |
yown | jamesgcd: I mean it writes manuals and stuff in there, data with a pattern, and not just fill | 00:18 |
yown | jamesgcd: Anyway, so shred has no problem seeing partitions? | 00:19 |
SonikkuAmerica | Hi! Ubuntu64 12.04.2 LTS. When I [ sudo apt-get install gnome-panel cairo-dock ], it replaces my xserver-xorg-all-lts package with xserver-xorg-qxl. Is that correct? | 00:19 |
jamesgcd | yown its easy to tell youve specially cleared something with specialist tools whether or not you use random data or otherwise so if thats your concern it wouldnt matter either way. and I believe so but I've never used it myself, I'd recommend just typing "man shred" in the terminal, if its not installed, type sudo apt-get install shred && man shred | 00:20 |
yown | jamesgcd: These man files are not written for the likes of me, no good | 00:20 |
yown | man files skimp on information you need, and what information they do have is usually put in too technical a way to be understood | 00:21 |
jamesgcd | sudo shred --iterations=1 --zero [/dev/whateverpartition] should do it | 00:22 |
yown | jamesgcd: but ikonia was saying dd didn't see partitions, that I could risk having my whole drive over written, is that not the case with shred then? | 00:23 |
SonikkuAmerica | Excuse my lack of !patience: Hi! Ubuntu64 12.04.2 LTS. When I [ sudo apt-get install gnome-panel cairo-dock ], it replaces my xserver-xorg-all-lts package with xserver-xorg-qxl. Is that correct? | 00:23 |
jamesgcd | yown: shred is designed to just delete a single file. My assumption is that it'll work since to its eyes /dev/partitionofdoom will appear as a single file. I could be wrong, but seeing as it'd delete everything anyway theres no real risk unless you typoed and accidentally hit the wrong partition with the command | 00:24 |
jamesgcd | yown: I'd actually recommend just clearing the entire HD and reinstalling everything if youre this concerned about people recovering the data. If you've ever resized the partition at any point there'll be an extra copy of some files outside the resized partition which could be tracked. If you ESPECIALLY serious. After doing that, hit the harddrive with an hammer and use explosives on it | 00:26 |
yown | jamesgcd: what I am worried about thanks to ikonia is, whether it will exceed the partition parameters and delete the whole drive or something (or anywhere outside of the partition) | 00:26 |
yown | jamesgcd: Well most of my HDD has never been used/totally unpartitioned, no reason to waste time writting over on that too | 00:27 |
jamesgcd | yown: if most of its never been used, for simplicities sake I'd recommend backing up any data and using DD on the entire drive itself. | 00:28 |
yown | jamesgcd: How would that be any simplier? And what would be the point? I would just be using ALOT more time | 00:28 |
yown | for no apparent reason | 00:29 |
yown | jamesgcd: So you are unsure whether shred would exceed the partition parameters, or not? | 00:29 |
jamesgcd | yown: its simpler because you can guarantee then without any error that EVERY bit has been scrambled. The point is security, youre making a direct tradeoff between time and security here, I could say theres a 99% chance of the data being securely gone and you could take the 1% risk. But if that backfires its your problem | 00:29 |
jamesgcd | yown: and yeah, I would assume it wouldn't but theres no guarantees, I've never had data so sensitive I've needed to have it completely removed | 00:30 |
dhci | hi. not really going to use mongodb anymore I don't think but is there a simple way to get the mongo shell going? the server installed ok to default ports 27017 and 28017 responding, but mongo command dies on shell/mongo.js when connecting to test | 00:30 |
yown | jamesgcd: Partitions always use the same physical section of a drive, right? So what would be the point of writing to a section of the drive that has never been used? | 00:31 |
jamesgcd | yown: security. I know I'm being vague but if the data is sensitive enough to be securely removed, its worth doing properly. Any form of cache could blow in your face for example, if you had a picture you needed removing, and some photo viewer on a different partition had generated a thumbnail, that thumbnail wouldnt be securely removed | 00:32 |
yown | jamesgcd: Please answer my question about physical drive and partitions | 00:33 |
=== fox_wilson is now known as fwilson|coding | ||
jamesgcd | yown: assuming the partition is never resized or moved from the point where you start writing data on it, any data would not be able to be moved out the area on the disk the partition covers. | 00:33 |
dhci | yown there are fancy partition schemes like linux volume manager where the partitions aren't so sequentially clear cut | 00:33 |
yown | jamesgcd: Right, and I can be sure of that | 00:34 |
yown | dhci you mean where partitions can change what part of the physical drive they cover? | 00:34 |
jamesgcd | yown: pretty much. What you cant be sure of is with caching, indexing, and essentially anything. | 00:34 |
yown | jamesgcd: Linux will cache or index parts of the physical drive unclaimed by partition sometimes? | 00:35 |
yown | by moving where the partition is on the physical drive automatically? | 00:36 |
jamesgcd | yown: never, I believe dhci meant that Linux can cache individual files on the partition in places other than where the datas stored. it wouldnt be a problem if you scrambled the entire partition though. | 00:36 |
dhci | yes I don't know if the linux volume manager or similar tools take into consideration the drive density and platter count, or related constellation of parameters. you could probably make good use of the controller and drives if you drilled down to specifics | 00:36 |
Nicolas_Leonidas | hi, My ISP brought me a new modem, as soon as Ubuntu starts to load the ethernet port on modem stops blinking, and then ubuntu loads without network access | 00:37 |
jamesgcd | oh yown, I am assuming youre not using Linux Volume Manager, I'm not experienced with it and its not common in most situations, but dhci probably would give better advice if you are | 00:37 |
dhci | anyhow still plugging away at mongodb but going to work on a node.js installation first | 00:37 |
Shape | Hello, I would like to reinstall Ubuntu but I want to keep my programs and settings for those programs, i.e. firefox settings. I would also like to keep my desktop settings (i.e. size of the taskbar) There are lots of links with confusing information and I don't know how to go about it because they dont tell you exactly what you will keep. | 00:38 |
jamesgcd | yown: eek, called it linux volume manager, we mean the linux LOGICAL volume manager :p | 00:38 |
jamesgcd | Shape: in most cases if you create a backup of the home folder and paste it into an install with the same installed programs, the programs will retain the same settings unless you changed the setting system wide | 00:39 |

Ntemis | any help priciated | 00:41 |
yown | jamesgcd well then I probably do not, which means there is no reason to write over anything other then the partition I wish to perma delete, right? | 00:41 |
jamesgcd | Shape: I'm not sure, I think though that'll make a list of all installed programs and after you reinstall and run the second command it'll read the list and install them individually. Could be wrong though | 00:41 |
jamesgcd | yown: sure, unless you've at any point ever run an operating system on it. | 00:42 |
Shape | jamesgcd how can I find out for sure? That looks really helpful. Is there an alternative to that? Because it would seem spot-on. You reinstall the programs, then you just copy the home folder over. | 00:43 |
sarsaeol | Ntemis: it may not work, but you can try converting the rpm to deb with alien | 00:43 |
Arisen | hi all, i have just installed xubuntu on my macbook, i can't access the home file of the mac hard drive through ubuntu | 00:43 |
Arisen | anyone can help ? | 00:43 |
Ntemis | is states is not rpm | 00:43 |
Ntemis | is like rpm+scripts? | 00:44 |
jamesgcd | Shape: You could google the command. I think Linux Mint has some software which essentially does the same thing (list all installed software and then redownload it afterwards) and it should work in Ubuntu. Im unsure of the actual name though - if it did do that though and you copied the home folder over afterwards, then 99% of programs would retain all the same settings | 00:44 |
Shape | jamesgcd Thanks! | 00:44 |
sarsaeol | Ntemis: so alien says it is not a proper rpm? | 00:45 |
sarsaeol | or you dont have the rpm | 00:45 |
Ntemis | didnt installalien | 00:45 |
Arisen | german installation ? | 00:46 |
sarsaeol | okay, it may be your only hope for this particular utility, and is probably worth a shot. but it really may not work | 00:46 |
Arisen | if i set chmod -R 777 to my macosx home folder, is there anything insecure about it for outer connection ? (reason : i want to access them from ubuntu which is also installed on the same macbook-machine) | 00:47 |
sarsaeol | Arisen: just means any user connected to computer will have full access to everything in your users folder…. including guests | 00:48 |
jamesgcd | Arisen: its insecure since anyone who can log into your computer could access that folder without an issue. If you had a seperate account on your Osx installation for example, they could browse, edit, delete files with no problem | 00:48 |
sarsaeol | as insecure as it gets ;) | 00:48 |
Arisen | lol i c , any other solutions ? | 00:49 |
Arisen | 120gb : osx , 60gb : ubuntu, trying to to access macosx home after booting from ubuntu | 00:49 |
Smirnov | my desktop is really slow, top is showing i only have 1gb of ram free. how do I have top combine all processes under the same name to figure out where all the ram went? | 00:49 |
yown | jamesgcd: What does running a OS on it have to do with it? | 00:49 |
sarsaeol | Arisen: you can't access them even through the root acct? | 00:50 |
Arisen | no | 00:50 |
Arisen | with sudo u mean ? | 00:50 |
sarsaeol | ya | 00:50 |
Arisen | nop | 00:50 |
sarsaeol | and the partition is mounted with rw? | 00:50 |
Arisen | its guid | 00:51 |
jamesgcd | yown: imagine it like this, I'm breaking into windows for simplicities sake here: I have Windows on C:\. I have Info on D:\. Windows which is on C:\ will automatically analyse files in D:\ and index them, now even if I delete everything on D:\ securely, C:\ Still has indexed references to those files | 00:51 |
Arisen | lemme chk | 00:51 |
Arisen | it's a ms-dos | 00:51 |
yown | jamesgcd: I know what you mean, but that isn't the OS breaking out of its partitioned physical location on the drive | 00:52 |
Arisen | u mean the partition of ubuntu | 00:52 |
Arisen | ? | 00:52 |
Arisen | swap or the osx ? | 00:52 |
jamesgcd | yown:it isnt but from a security perspective if youre not deleting EVERY trace you may as well not delete any of them. If someone badly wanted to steal this info, they easily could | 00:52 |
sarsaeol | no i meant the osx partition, and if its mounted as read-only | 00:52 |
yown | I guess so, I mean if you partition, that partition always only writes to that specific part of the physical drive, right? | 00:53 |
Arisen | read/write | 00:53 |
Arisen | :) | 00:53 |
Ntemis | sarsaeol: http://lpig.wordpress.com/2009/08/19/updating-hp-p400-sas-raid-card-firmware-via-linux/ | 00:53 |
yown | Arisen: That is a yes then? | 00:53 |
Ntemis | am on ubuntu server 64bit 12.04.2 | 00:53 |
jamesgcd | yown: yeah. But its hard to see if its been copied to another partition without you noticing since OS's and programs will read information from pretty much anything and leave trails everywhere | 00:53 |
Arisen | yes | 00:53 |
Arisen | it is a yes ^^ | 00:53 |
yown | jamesgcd but it can't write to unpartitioned space, nor will it change partition size or location on its own, right? | 00:54 |
jamesgcd | yown: the security issue youre combatting as well requires them to have the hardware in the first place. They'd have all the time in the world to search for a single mistake you could make. And no, it can't. | 00:54 |
sarsaeol | Ntemis: so the solution was to install the stdc++ libraries? | 00:55 |

yown | jamesgcd: Anyway we got off issue. Can we please get back to determining exact partition address for the purposes of shred? | 00:58 |
jamesgcd | yown: you'll have to do that yourself. I dont know which partition the data is on. All I can tell you is /dev/sda refers to the ENTIRE disk, and /dev/sda1 the first partition on the disk, /dev/sda2 the second, and so on | 00:59 |
yown | jamesgcd: What command do I use to determine that myself/how do I? | 01:00 |
jamesgcd | yown: probably easiest to do graphically. Run the command sudo apt-get install gparted - and then use gparted to look at your partitions | 01:01 |
yown | jamesgcd: the address listed under partition, right? | 01:02 |
rus | hii | 01:03 |

wolftune | so I didn't want to go with Empathy | 01:58 |
bcbc2 | darkhelmet46: you should be able to test the migration by booting the wubi install and running: sudo update-grub | 01:58 |
wolftune | but here's the trouble | 01:58 |
wolftune | most times no problem installing Jitsi from .deb | 01:58 |
bcbc2 | darkhelmet46: that will add an entry to the migrated install at the bottom of the grub menu. Then you can test it | 01:58 |
wolftune | but this case, some error comes up and it just says it won't install the .deb on his computer | 01:58 |
bcbc2 | darkhelmet46: if it's working fine you can just install the grub bootloader with: sudo grub-install /dev/sda | 01:59 |
darkhelmet46 | bcdc2, i can try that, but this is what has me confused. Wubi seems to use the Windows boot menu, not Grub, so I don't think Grub was ever isntalled in the first place? Unless I am confused... | 01:59 |

escott | OY1R, there is an android app that does that, not sure there is one for ios | 02:20 |
escott | crazyhorse, in that case use find blah blah -delete | 02:20 |
Church | crazyhorse: use xargs. or cycle. | 02:20 |
Church | or find. :) | 02:20 |
crazyhorse | what about rm $(ls !(ABC)) | 02:20 |
escott | crazyhorse, never pipe to rm, and the guys in #bash will really get on your case about xargs | 02:21 |
crazyhorse | ok | 02:21 |
escott | crazyhorse, very dangerous | 02:21 |
crazyhorse | what about the command above? | 02:21 |
Church | for i in $(ls abc);do rm "$i";done or find . abc -exec rm {} \; or ls abc | xargs rm | 02:21 |
escott | crazyhorse, if you are confident that the filenames are sane and dont have spaces you can probably safely pipe to rm, but find blah blah -delete is the best way | 02:21 |
crazyhorse | escott: ah yes.. also i can recheck by running find . -regex '.*query.*' -prune -o -print | 02:22 |
escott | crazyhorse, exactly | 02:22 |

bcbc2 | darkhelmet46: you should be able to boot the migrated install from the wubi grub menu for a while. But since the script ended prematurely, you'll need to boot the wubi install and run :sudo update-grub | 02:36 |
bcbc2 | darkhelmet46: first, then you'll see the migrated entry at the bottom of the grub menu. No rush to do anything drastic | 02:37 |
crazyhorse | hmm lets say i wanted to delete all files in the current directory except for the ones that contained dont-delete-these-ones in the file name. how do you do that? | 02:38 |
crazyhorse | my first guess was find . -regex '.*dont-delete-these-ones.*' -prune -o -delete | 02:38 |

bcbc2 | rhughes: same as 32 bit | 02:41 |
bcbc2 | rhughes: same as normal (non-wubi) 64bit | 02:42 |
rhughes | for some reason, everytime i do a wubi install it breaks the install after a few reboots | 02:42 |
bcbc2 | rhughes: what happens | 02:43 |
MakiAto | tere ma olen Eestist | 02:43 |
nearst | u try with unetbootin? | 02:43 |
rhughes | its gets stuck on the grub menu | 02:44 |

rhughes | when i select the os it never loads | 02:44 |
darkhelmet46_net | bcbc2, wait, i think i might be booted into the migration, not Wubi, but i'm not sure how to tell lol | 02:44 |
hp_ | firefox-tools-download,i made it fullscreen,how to make it by itself size | 02:44 |
bcbc2 | rhughes: you mean a grub prompt or the load hangs? what graphics card do you have | 02:44 |
rhughes | i have an ati Radeon hd | 02:44 |
rhughes | not sure the model number | 02:44 |
rhughes | but it works fine after i first install it | 02:45 |
bcbc2 | darkhelmet46_net: df -h or: mount | grep ' / ' | 02:45 |
rhughes | but after a few reboots it craps out | 02:45 |
bcbc2 | darkhelmet46_net: if / is on /dev/loop0 it's wubi | 02:45 |
MakiAto | Yet another kernel escalation bug and im moving to minix | 02:45 |
bcbc2 | rhughes: use nomodeset to boot: http://askubuntu.com/questions/162075/my-computer-boots-to-a-black-screen-what-options-do-i-have-to-fix-it | 02:45 |

baumy | nobody knows? | 02:46 |
bcbc2 | darkhelmet46_net: okay, run sudo update-grub, make sure it mentions the migration and then reboot and select it | 02:47 |
darkhelmet46_net | bcbc2, it said "Found Ubuntu 12.10 on /dev/sda2 | 02:48 |
darkhelmet46_net | looks promising | 02:48 |
rhughes | ok will do | 02:48 |
darkhelmet46_net | rebooting... | 02:48 |
crazyhorse | why does touch ab && find . -regex 'ab' return no results? | 02:49 |
bcbc2 | darkhelmet46_net: cool | 02:49 |
baumy | how do i get the ubuntu server login prompt to show up on the screen i want it to? | 02:50 |
MakiAto | they hacked off i386 from the kernel how the hell am i goin to play Dwarf Fortress then? | 02:50 |
nearst | locate -r 'ab' | 02:50 |
darkhelmet46_net | bcbc2 ok so now when I choose Ubuntu from the Windows boot menu, it goes to Grub and I can choose either "Ubuntu" or "Ubuntu 12.10" so I chose the second one and I am looking at a flashinc cursor. :( | 02:51 |
bcbc2 | darkhelmet46_net: hold on. Just checking something in the pastebin | 02:52 |
darkhelmet46_net | bcbc2, kinda wonderin if I broke stuff while trying to fix it before. kinda wonderin if I should just format the partition, and re-run the Wubi migration tool without the option to install Grub... | 02:52 |
bcbc2 | darkhelmet46_net: is it still hanging? | 02:54 |
darkhelmet46_net | yep, but i can type stuff at the flashing cursor, so i guess at least it's not completely locked up? | 02:55 |
bcbc2 | use Alt+SysRq R-E-I-S-U-B to reboot, don't hard power off. | 02:56 |

bcbc2 | !reisub | 02:57 |
ubottu | In an emergency, you may be able to shutdown cleanly and reboot by holding down Alt+PrintScreen and typing, in succession, R, E, I, S, U and B. For an explanation, see http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Magic_SysRq_key | 02:57 |
=== Karbowiak is now known as zz_Karbowiak | ||
=== Kaiser is now known as Guest39587 | ||
darkhelmet46_net | got it. little difficult cause i need to hold a function key too | 02:58 |
=== Guest39587 is now known as rhughes | ||
darkhelmet46_net | now it said a bunch of stuff and ended at "Emergency Remount complete" and it's back to the flashing cursor. | 02:59 |
bcbc2 | darkhelmet46_net: maybe you missed the B at the end | 02:59 |
bcbc2 | darkhelmet46_net: the U does the remount, the B reboots | 03:00 |
darkhelmet46_net | ok, i did it slower, "R" and "E" don't show any output, and when i get to "I", it says "This sysrqoperation is disabled" | 03:01 |
mobodo | what would be a good package to remove reinstall if I wanted to get back to a clean installation? ubuntu-desktop I'm guessing? | 03:01 |
darkhelmet46_net | then Emergency Sync | 03:01 |
darkhelmet46_net | then Emergency Sync complete | 03:01 |
escott | darkhelmet46_net, you should be going slowly with 5 or so secs between each | 03:01 |
escott | darkhelmet46_net, if you race through them you defeat the purpose of doing them at all | 03:01 |
* darkhelmet46_net whacks himself in the head with a 10lb Unix manual. Thanks escott | 03:02 | |

escott | darkhelmet46_net, yeah the factoid should probably say something about that | 03:03 |
rottingdead | What's going on with the Kubuntu amd64 Disc? It installs fine in VirtualBox, but when I go to install it to hard drive, it freezes up shortly after clicking either, "Install now," or, "Try Kubuntu." | 03:03 |
mobodo | what do you guys do with all your config files when you reinstall completely? | 03:04 |
Nicolas_Leonidas | it was the modem people, the modem needs to be restarted after every dhcp change | 03:04 |
Nicolas_Leonidas | or it will mess up, thanks for your help | 03:04 |
mobodo | I don't mind reinstalling ubuntu, but my config files are all over the place, and I have custom stuff here and there... | 03:04 |
silv3r_m00n | I need to install all debs in current directory and subdirectories, dpkg -I * does not install deb files in subdirectories, how to install all sub directory debs as well ? | 03:04 |
darkhelmet46_net | ok, escott and bcbc2 "B" still doesn't seem to do anything. Should I just ctrl-alt-del or just hard power off or something? | 03:04 |
escott | darkhelmet46_net, once you get past U you can safely hard reboot | 03:05 |
darkhelmet46_net | rgr | 03:05 |
escott | darkhelmet46_net, B is just more polite | 03:05 |
battlefield3 | ¿someone could help me in ubuntu' | 03:06 |

histo | battlefield3: you'd have to hold the shift key down after the bios load to get ot the grub menu | 03:08 |
darkhelmet46_net | ok, so anyways, we're back to the flashing cursor escott and bcbc2. | 03:08 |
escott | !nomodeset | darkhelmet46_net have you tried? | 03:09 |
ubottu | darkhelmet46_net have you tried?: 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. See http://ubuntuforums.org/showthread.php?t=1613132 on how to use this parameter | 03:09 |
nearst | flashing cursor/blank screen - always try with nomodeset at grub | 03:09 |
battlefield3 | histo, really ???? | 03:09 |
darkhelmet46_net | escott, no haven't tried that. looks like fun though.... | 03:10 |

histo | battlefield3: really what? You said your uubntu doesn't show the grub? Ca you possibly rephrase that as a question that makes sense | 03:10 |
histo | !derivatives | truongap | 03:11 |
ubottu | truongap: There are some Ubuntu derivatives that we cannot provide support for due to repository and software changes. Please consult their websites for more information. Examples: gNewSense (support in #gnewsense), Linux Mint (see !mint), LinuxMCE (support in #linuxmce), CrunchBang (support in #crunchbang), BackTrack (support in #backtrack-linux) | 03:11 |
battlefield3 | histo, is that true? | 03:11 |
histo | battlefield3: is what true? | 03:11 |
bcbc2 | darkhelmet46_net: so both wubi and the migrated install are now just giving you a cursor? | 03:12 |

Hpubuntu | hey there, I followed these instructions to get my wireless driver to work "http://droid-hive.com/index.php?/topic/1272-how-to-install-ralink-rt3290-wireless-drivers-on-ubuntu-1204/" but after installing some updates through update manage it stopped it from working, any ideas? | 03:13 |
darkhelmet46_net | bcbc2, i tried the migrated one again. ok so i hit E to edit the Grub menu, and I got a question, what is "$vt_handoff"? | 03:13 |
battlefield3 | histo, shitf in the start | 03:13 |
plutonas | how can I enable the cube effect on my ubuntu 12.10? I cannot find any option on ccsm (as suggested by various guides) | 03:14 |
histo | Hpubuntu: if the kernel updated you will have to rebuild any modules for the new kernel. | 03:14 |
histo | battlefield3: yes it displays the grub menu rather than just booting | 03:14 |
nearst | darkhelmet46_net, u can safe delete that vt handoff | 03:14 |
bcbc2 | darkhelmet46_net: http://askubuntu.com/a/34487/14916 | 03:14 |
battlefield3 | histo, let me try | 03:14 |
histo | !cube | plutonas | 03:14 |
ubottu | plutonas: Compiz-Fusion (and the older Compiz and Beryl) are window managers that employ the "composite" extension of X to draw windows using graphics cards' 3D hardware. They can additionally provide "desktop special effects" (such as the "cube") by means of plug-ins. Join #compiz-fusion for help and support with advanced features. See also « /msg ubottu compiz » and « /msg ubottu effects » | 03:14 |
Hpubuntu | so do i just repet the process i did before? | 03:15 |
histo | Hpubuntu: basically yes for each new kernel | 03:15 |
Hpubuntu | okay thanks , ] | 03:15 |
histo | Hpubuntu: Alternatively you can boot the old kernel and you confirm that is the issue. | 03:15 |
darkhelmet46_net | cool. deleting that and adding "nomodeset" | 03:15 |
nearst | darkhelmet46_net, edit /etc/default/grub then update-grub will have perm set | 03:16 |
Del_Monte | hello all, im hoping I could have some help with an issue i encountered in xubuntu 12.10 | 03:16 |
darkhelmet46_net | I hit Ctrl+X to boot the modified entry and I am still getting a flashing cursor. :( | 03:17 |
bcbc2 | darkhelmet46_net: you shouldn't need it if the wubi doesn't need it. I'd be more inclined to redo the migration | 03:17 |
darkhelmet46_net | bcbc2, yeah that's pretty much where i'm at too | 03:18 |
battlefield3 | histo, are you? | 03:18 |
darkhelmet46_net | bcb2, i did some Googling on "LDM Blocker" and I *used* to have a dynamic disk and converted it back to basic, I wonder if that's what's causing the issue. | 03:21 |
bcbc2 | darkhelmet46_net: yes | 03:23 |
histo | battlefield3: am I what? | 03:25 |
darkhelmet46_net | If I had the patience, I'd take a full image backup of this thing and choose "yes" on that Boot Repair question, but I have a few hundred GB of data so it would take all night. | 03:25 |
darkhelmet46_net | I'll retry the migration and hope that works. | 03:25 |
histo | darkhelmet46_net: a dd would not take all night. | 03:26 |
histo | !ask | delinquentme | 03:27 |
ubottu | delinquentme: 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 | 03:27 |
darkhelmet46_net | histo, dunno how to use dd. i usually use Acronis to backup to my NAS | 03:30 |
darkhelmet46_net | also, will dd grab the stuff on my Windows partition? that's where all my data is. | 03:31 |
histo | darkhelmet46_net: yeah you can use it to grab whatever parition and or block device you want. | 03:33 |
histo | darkhelmet46_net: dd if=/dev/of/whatever/you/want/backedup | gzip > /path/to/backup.gz | 03:35 |
histo | darkhelmet46_net: that will compress it. If you want uncompressed copy of the complete thing you can just use if=blah of=blah instead of piping it to gzip | 03:35 |
darkhelmet46_net | histo, i will add that to my list of things to learn. for now, i know how to use Acronis, and more importantly, I know i can successfully do a bare metal restore with it. :) | 03:36 |

darkhelmet46_net | evilytwisted, you can do what i did and carve out some partition space and migrate your install to it, but i ran into some trouble doing that. | 03:54 |
darkhelmet46_net | if you don't have any important data, cleanest way is to wipe your drive and install from CD and start over. | 03:54 |
histo | evident: you can move to a regular install and just transfer your package selections and /home directory and you wouldn't be able to tell. | 03:54 |
histo | evident: I'd backup /home/username and all your package selections if you've been using ubuntu for a while. Then reinstall to the entire hdd. Migrate your /home back and your package selections | 03:55 |

h_s3tt1ngs | and thank you all of yous guys, see ya later. | 04:16 |
ikillcypher | I did | 04:16 |
h_s3tt1ngs | bye | 04:16 |
ikillcypher | mkdir -p ~/bin | 04:16 |
darkhelmet46 | bcbc2, from scratch | 04:17 |
darkhelmet46 | bcbc2, exact command was: sudo bash wubi-move.sh /dev/sda2 /dev/sda3 --no-bootloader -y | 04:17 |
cixelsyd | h_s3tt1ngs, also try pressing escape and typing :set nu | 04:18 |
al_la | If I just used 'apt-get remove' on a package, is it too late to use purge to remove config files? If I re-installed package them purged to remove, would it get the files? | 04:18 |
ikillcypher | anyone know what's wrong over here ? | 04:18 |
gannebraemorr | Sounds reasonable. | 04:19 |
darkhelmet46 | al_la, yes | 04:19 |
bcbc2 | darkhelmet46: do you have errors on the wubi install as well? What happens with: sudo apt-get update && sudo apt-get upgrade | 04:20 |
darkhelmet46 | standby... | 04:20 |
al_la | darkhelmet46: yes to the first or second question? | 04:20 |

darkhelmet46 | al_la, yes to both i am pretty sure. i am a newb, but that has been my experience. | 04:21 |
darkhelmet46 | bcbc2, if I do that it wants to upgrade a bunch of packages | 04:21 |
intrader | Anyone, Good morning - I am having an overheating problem with Lenovo t61p laptop running Linux 12.10. The problem occurs when displaying video at full screen or when a web page has a lot of video clips. Google shows that many laptop users have overheating laptops. Is there a bug in ubuntu? | 04:22 |
shroomduke | any ideas on failed update ... "Failed to fetch http://archive.ubuntu.com/ubuntu/pool/universe/o/openjdk-7/openjdk-7-jre_7u13-2.3.6-0ubuntu0.12.04.1_i386.deb 404 Not Found [IP: 91.189.92.201 80]" | 04:22 |
ikillcypher | HELLO ?! | 04:23 |

yeahuyen | you're | 04:26 |
bcbc2 | darkhelmet46: rerun with the --resume option (append it to your original command). | 04:27 |

shroomduke | privmsg shroomduke hello | 04:33 |
al_la | Howdy all, quick question. In 12.10, I have clementine and rhymbox both installed. I 'apt-get remove clementine' and choose 'n' just to see the list of packages (dependencies) that are no longer required and could be autoremoved after a remove. I do the same for rhythmbox and it lists the same dependencies (libchromaprint0 libechonest1.2 libftgl2 libindicate-qt1 liblastfm1 libprojectm2 libqxt-core0 libqxt-gui0 projectm-data) as no longer being required. I | 04:33 |
al_la | f I had actually purged one, then autoremoved, would it have broken the other? Does that mean I can never trust the package manager to gracefully handle dependencies?! What am I missing here? | 04:33 |
intrader | shroomduke, no, on 12.10? Is there control of the fan< I never hear mine even when PSensor.temp2 >97C | 04:34 |
bcbc2 | darkhelmet46: no. let's make sure there are no package dependency errors. first try this: apt-get install -f | 04:34 |
bcbc2 | darkhelmet46: sudo apt-get install -f | 04:34 |
darkhelmet46 | 0 upgraded, 0 newly installed, 0 to remove and 27 not upgraded. | 04:34 |
bcbc2 | darkhelmet46: i don't get why you are getting this error now, but not before. personally I'd process all pending updates. repeating the same thing and hoping for a different outcome isn't the best plan | 04:35 |
shroomduke | i'm still figuring this stuff out | 04:36 |
darkhelmet46 | bcbc2, I would agree but I did run sudo dpkg --configure -a like it told me to, and that did sumthin, so maybe it will work now? | 04:36 |

WW42 | Hello #ubuntu! Looking to install 12.10 on an old laptop; is there any reason to prefer 32- or 64-bit? | 04:58 |
WW42 | I know it had 64-bit Vista on it before, but this is on a new hard drive. Not sure what difference that makes. | 04:58 |
docvell | I use the 64 bit version on my laptop | 04:59 |
shroomduke | how old | 04:59 |
shroomduke | how old is old | 04:59 |
WW42 | bought about 4 years ago. It's 2 GHz dual-core, 4 GB ram. I dunno much else about the processor. | 05:00 |
docvell | laptop is 6 years old (Gateway m-1626) | 05:00 |
LMC | hello? I have a VERY important question about ubuntu | 05:00 |
docvell | I have a 2ghz speed, 3gb RAM and 250gb hard drive (plus external USB drive now) | 05:00 |
docvell | ask away LMC | 05:00 |
shroomduke | do you know if it's a 64 bit processor | 05:00 |
LMC | ok well i have a compaq presariio f700 laptop | 05:01 |
WW42 | I would guess so, since it was running 64-bit Vista out of the box. But I don't know. | 05:01 |
kalenjohnson | unless it's a netbook, most CPU's in the last 6 years are 64-bit capable | 05:01 |
docvell | if it is a 64bit processor go for the 64 bit install | 05:01 |
LMC | and i want ubuntu | 05:01 |
docvell | LMC try the LiveCD and see if you like it | 05:01 |
shroomduke | yea i'd do the 64 bit but then I'm a newbie | 05:01 |
LMC | but it says it requires more than 4gb of space | 05:01 |
shroomduke | wow | 05:01 |
=== ethan is now known as Guest29358 | ||
yown | well not sure 64bit is necessary if you don't exceed the max ram and HDD limitations of 32bit | 05:01 |
kalenjohnson | LMC, how big is your hard drive? | 05:01 |
LMC | and i dont know why my laptop wouldnt have that | 05:01 |
Guest29358 | anyone here using Voyager OS? | 05:02 |
LMC | i have no clue | 05:02 |
LMC | because my laptop is messed up | 05:02 |
yown | Especially the ram, which I believe is limited to 4gb with 32bit | 05:02 |
LMC | im running the trial version of ubuntu | 05:02 |
LMC | i want to instal it | 05:02 |
yown | trial version? | 05:02 |
WW42 | so, if I can run 64-bit, there's no real reason not to? Thanks for your help/advice. | 05:02 |
yown | oh live version | 05:02 |
kalenjohnson | LMC, like docvell said, try the live CD, and if it works alright you can install it from there | 05:02 |
LMC | currently my laptop has no OS | 05:02 |
yown | There should be some easy option for installing, that is what live is all about | 05:03 |
yown | just poke around | 05:03 |
kalenjohnson | if it's messed up, then trying to install ubuntu won't hurt it too badly | 05:03 |
LMC | it wont let me continue | 05:03 |
yown | ask in ubuntu if you are stuck | 05:03 |
shroomduke | why not LMC? | 05:03 |
LMC | it wont let me instal | 05:03 |
kalenjohnson | what's the error? | 05:03 |

LMC | idk how do i check | 05:05 |
darkhelmet46 | LMC, open up GParted, try that. | 05:05 |
sidney_ | boot to the live enviroment open parted | 05:05 |
LMC | whats gparted? | 05:05 |
kalenjohnson | a program | 05:05 |
shroomduke | intrader I don't know if this will help but http://itsfoss.com/solve-overheating-issue-in-ubuntu-12-10/ | 05:06 |
LMC | ddo i need to download it | 05:06 |
sidney_ | LMC no | 05:06 |
darkhelmet46 | LMC, it should be preinstalled | 05:06 |
LMC | where | 05:06 |
kalenjohnson | click the top left ubuntu button | 05:06 |
kalenjohnson | type gparted and you should see it | 05:06 |
LMC | ok let me try | 05:07 |
LMC | its not showing anything | 05:08 |
LMC | no devices detected | 05:09 |
darkhelmet46 | LMC, sounds like you need a hard drive. | 05:09 |
sidney_ | LMC are you installing 12.04 | 05:09 |
kalenjohnson | that might be the messed up part of your computer then, if it doesn't recognize the hard drive | 05:09 |
darkhelmet46 | Or it is disabled in BIOS... | 05:09 |
kalenjohnson | yes, you should check and see if it shows up in the bios | 05:09 |
LMC | how do i fix it | 05:09 |
kalenjohnson | bios requires restarting the computer | 05:09 |
sidney_ | f2 at boot | 05:09 |
py_can | Friend has given me a 1TB drive that seems to be broken. I cannot mount it. Dmesg syslog | tail -25 shows errors like "end_request io error". Filesystem was NTFS. My question is: Is this HDD beyond repair? How can I check what is exactly wrong? | 05:10 |
LMC | oh um sometimes at boot it only lets me click esc and f10 | 05:10 |
py_can | I don't know how to use fsck without being able to mount the disk | 05:10 |
LMC | yes it is 12.04 i think | 05:11 |
LMC | but since its the live version it saves nothing | 05:11 |
kalenjohnson | LMC, the first screen at boot might not say a button for the BIOS, but try pressing f2 a couple times and see if it shows up | 05:12 |
sidney_ | LMC you need to figure out whick key boots into bios | 05:12 |
darkhelmet46 | LMC either you don't have a hard drive installed, or it is not being detected. Either it's a BIOS configuration issue or it might be connected wrong. | 05:12 |
darkhelmet46 | Or it's just plain dead and you need a new one. | 05:12 |
LMC | ok thanks i will do thT | 05:12 |
LMC | my grandma had this comp before me she prob messed it up | 05:13 |
LMC | XD | 05:13 |
darkhelmet46 | LMC lol the hard drive probably died, i bet that's why she got rid of it. :) | 05:14 |
LMC | well she asked me to fix it | 05:14 |
LMC | and said i could have it if i could XD | 05:14 |

ejv | py_can: i'd call your local data recovery specialist; or have your friend restore data from his backup. | 05:17 |
darkhelmet46 | LMC, worse case you need a new hard drive. Probably about $90 for a 1TB. Not too bad... | 05:18 |
py_can | ejv: He's already said goodbye to his data, I'm just wondering if I can format it and use it for my own :) Seeing as 'sudo lshw -C disk -short' does detect the disk I'm hoping it only has bad sectors or something... | 05:18 |
LMC | right and i probably dont even need a pretty expensive one in the first place anyways | 05:18 |
darkhelmet46 | hey, bcbc2! The migration finished and looks like success!!! :D :D :D | 05:19 |
sidney_ | LMC if f10 is an option as you stated that may be the bios | 05:19 |

bcbc2 | darkhelmet46: cool | 05:26 |
darkhelmet46 | ejv, the Wubi migration that bcbc2 was helping me with. | 05:26 |
darkhelmet46 | Ok, so last thing... How do I remove the Wubi install from Grub and make this one the default? | 05:27 |
ejv | wubi... making things difficult for users since 2008. | 05:27 |
bcbc2 | darkhelmet46: something I noticed in the bootinfoscript from before... there's an extra line in /etc/fstab (the swap.disk). Can you remove that? (gksu gedit /etc/swap) | 05:27 |
bcbc2 | darkhelmet46: the problem is you can't install grub until you fix the LDM issue | 05:28 |
darkhelmet46 | errr, when i did that it opened what looks like an empty document in gedit. | 05:28 |
darkhelmet46 | bcbc2, but Grub is installed... | 05:28 |
bcbc2 | darkhelmet46: doh I meant /etc/fstab | 05:28 |
bcbc2 | darkhelmet46: how did you get around the ldm issue? boot-repair? | 05:29 |
darkhelmet46 | no, i ran the migration with the switch that skips installing grub | 05:29 |
darkhelmet46 | figuring grub must already be there otherwise how can Wubi boot? | 05:30 |
bcbc2 | darkhelmet46: ok but then you're booting it from the wubi grub, and when you remove that you won't be able to boot it anymore | 05:30 |
darkhelmet46 | bcbc2, yeah i get that, i want to leave Grub, but remove the Wubi option from the menu and make this one the default. | 05:30 |
baumy | if I want to get dual nvidia monitors working in ubuntu server 12.10 is this the correct series of steps: initial install of server; apt-get update; apt-get upgrade; apt-get install xserver-xorg xinit; apt-get install linux-headers-generic; reboot; apt-get install nvidia-current-updates; reboot and done? | 05:31 |
darkhelmet46 | and i got gedit up but i dunno what you want me to chagne... | 05:31 |
bcbc2 | darkhelmet46: the best solution is to remove any dependency on the Wubi install - use easyBCD or fix that LDM problem and install grub (best) | 05:31 |
baumy | ive been having problems with the fact that the server ships with kernel version 3.5.0-17 but immediately updates to 3.5.0-25, and the login prompt displaying offscrene (but still definitely displaying, since i can blindly login and type startx, but i dont see anything but a black screen until i do those two things) | 05:31 |
dr_willis | baumy: i find it easier to just install the services i need on a desktop instgall. what window manager are you planning on using? | 05:32 |
baumy | i3 | 05:32 |
bcbc2 | darkhelmet46: did you remove that line from /etc/fstab? | 05:32 |
baumy | i dont want all the junk that comes with desktop, also i have a gtx 580, which has drivers that dont ship with the kernel, so the desktop installer crashes | 05:32 |
darkhelmet46 | not sure which line to remove | 05:32 |
antz | info on wine on ubuntu pls | 05:32 |
dr_willis | baumy: the server boots to a console.. i dont see how the nvidia drivers will affect that. You could try disabling the framebuffer mode if you want a normal text based login | 05:32 |
antz | also is wine a way to go for watching netflix? | 05:33 |
antz | on ubuntu | 05:33 |
bcbc2 | darkhelmet46: /host/ubuntu/disks/swap.disk none swap sw 0 0 | 05:33 |
dr_willis | antz thers a netflix package for using netflix on ubuntu. check the omgubuntu and webupd8 sites for info on it. | 05:33 |
dr_willis | !netflix | 05:33 |
ubottu | If you use Netflix, there is an unofficial solution for using it in Ubuntu detailed in http://www.compholio.com/netflix-desktop/ - bug reports in https://bugs.launchpad.net/netflix-desktop | 05:33 |
ztedroid | !Netflix | antz | 05:33 |
ubottu | antz: please see above | 05:33 |
antz | thank you dr_willis | 05:33 |
darkhelmet46 | bcbc2, did that. | 05:34 |
baumy | dr_willis: once i install nvidia drivers, the login console displays offscreen for some reason, like its several hundred pixels up from my actual display in the virtual xorg display thing. when i tried to install lightdm, the default background filled my screen but the actual login boxes were offscreen, seemed to be way above | 05:34 |
dr_willis | antz: the netflix-desktop has to install a lot of exra junk and makes a specuial firefox instance that runs correctly | 05:34 |
dr_willis | baumy: thats very odd. the console does Not use X at all.. but the framebuffer. which can cause issues at times. and can be disabled. | 05:35 |
bcbc2 | darkhelmet46: ok. note that the grub menu is in the Wubi install. It only can be updated from the Wubi install. so you have to boot Wubi to update it and make the migrated install default. It's not ideal. That's why you need to figure out how to install grub properly to /dev/sda | 05:35 |
dr_willis | baumy: i would set up a ssh server on the thing so you can ssh in and try out things. :) does the bios screen appear corrextly? | 05:35 |
darkhelmet46 | bcbc2, ok that statement warps my brain a little but i think i get what you're saying. | 05:36 |
dr_willis | baumy: what sort of monitor and how is it conneccted? | 05:36 |
baumy | dr_willis: bios is fine, its uefi actually, and everything works perfectly if i boot to integrated graphics | 05:36 |
darkhelmet46 | you're saying that it is not installed on sda or sda2, it is installed on the hard drive image file that Wubi uses? | 05:36 |
nwpc01 | wan2 | 05:36 |
baumy | i have two monitors, a 23" and 24", 1920x1080 and 1920x1200 respectively, hooked up to the first and second outputs of my gtx 580 | 05:36 |
baumy | ssh is tricky since im on university ethernet | 05:36 |
baumy | they restrict some things | 05:36 |
dr_willis | baumy: so its only the nvidia cards that have the issue.. they are both connected via hdmi? | 05:36 |
baumy | dvi | 05:37 |
bcbc2 | darkhelmet46: yes. the grub.cfg you see at startup is inside the root.disk file. | 05:37 |
baumy | i will look into disabling framebuffer, that might just be my solution | 05:37 |
baumy | ideally id like to use lightdm but i can live without | 05:37 |
darkhelmet46 | bcbc2, awww that's crappy. so i need to keep that file which is eating like 30GB of disk space? | 05:37 |
dr_willis | baumy: check out slim its a login manager that uses the framevuffer. ;) but still if X is way off position. thats very odd.. ive not seen such issues in years | 05:37 |
baumy | it didnt make sense to me that the login prompt would use xserver, which is why i was confused that the symptoms of the problem very clearly pointed to the login prompt being offscreen | 05:37 |
bcbc2 | darkhelmet46: exactly. which is why you need to either use easyBCD or clear that LDM data so that you can install grub to /dev/sda | 05:38 |
dr_willis | baumy: does a normal desktop live cd work correctly? | 05:38 |
baumy | dr_willis: no, crashes and complains about nouvea drivers | 05:38 |
baumy | *nouveau | 05:38 |
baumy | they don't support my video card, it's too new | 05:38 |
dr_willis | baumy: hmm. noveau works great on my older card. ;) was even able to do TF2. | 05:38 |
baumy | dr_willis: that login manager looks fantastic, thank you, that might actually solve my problem | 05:39 |
darkhelmet46 | bcb2, Ok I got it. I think I tried easyBCD before and it would have worked, but I was getting that flashing cursor thing. I'll jump back to Windows and see if I can do that. | 05:39 |
baumy | dr_willis: tf2 is most of the reason im doing this :P | 05:39 |
darkhelmet46 | ok, gonna reboot again and fire up easyBCD. bbiab. | 05:40 |
bcbc2 | darkhelmet46: ok good luck | 05:40 |
baumy | dr_willis: where can i learn more about this framebuffer thing and how it works, and will slim work if i disable it? | 05:40 |
dr_willis | slim wont. i think.. not tried it in ages | 05:41 |
dr_willis | there used to be a nofb option. but these days im not sure how to properly do it. | 05:41 |
dr_willis | !framebuffer | 05:41 |
ubottu | Information about changing your framebuffer modes in GRUB can be found at https://wiki.ubuntu.com/FrameBuffer#grub | 05:41 |
baumy | wonderful | 05:42 |
dr_willis | that guide may be outdated | 05:42 |
baumy | well one way or another this sounds like the root of my problems | 05:42 |
baumy | so im sure i can google my way through it now i know the cause | 05:42 |
baumy | it says framebuffer causes problems with older video cards that don't have native support, maybe newer ones can have the same problem | 05:43 |
coolroot | http://paste.ubuntu.com/5566839 can someone tell me if this is safe? this will be my last option to recover grub coz my cd/dvd drive ain't working not even my usb stick i mean my laptop ports ain't working too :( | 05:45 |
dr_willis | frambuffer can cause all sorts of weirdness.. it was a big new neat idea when it came out.. but never really got as muh support as it could. | 05:45 |

[gnubie] | i have a running ubuntu 12.04.2 LTS on my newly installed server. i'm wondering why the permissions of the files and folders in the /home/$USERS/* are changed back to umask of 002. any idea why it happened? | 05:49 |
baumy | dr_willis: its a shame cause slim is sexy looking | 05:50 |

dr_willis | !appdb | 06:01 |
ubottu | The Wine Application DB is a database of applications and help for !Windows programs that run under !WINE: http://appdb.winehq.org - Join #winehq for application help | 06:01 |
Blackwebbbbb | if i wanted to bind SSHD to a certain interface would I just add "interface eth0" to /etc/ssh/ssh_config or is it "Interface eth0" | 06:02 |
nextone | Thanks | 06:02 |
Glaasa | Hi, I am just wondering if any of you have experience with SQUID proxy TCP behaviour? Thank you | 06:02 |
dr_willis | sshd would be the sshd_config wouldent it? not ssh_config | 06:03 |
Blackwebbbbb | ya | 06:03 |
Blackwebbbbb | is it interface without a Capital I to declare the interface | 06:03 |
Glaasa | ust wondering how squid behaves in regards to TCP connections.. Does it first recieve syn /ack from client and then fins it and then creates another tcp socket with the server and syn ack again, downloads the whole content and then reopens another tcp connection with the client to send the data, OR keeps the tcp connection with the client alive, and just recieves packets from the server and sends it right away to the client? | 06:03 |
Blackwebbbbb | So "interface eth0" or "Interface eth0" | 06:04 |
dr_willis | no idea.. id imagine its all lowercase | 06:04 |
dr_willis | it might not even matter | 06:05 |
Blackwebbbbb | I have 2 Network cards installed on PC and if the one is enabled that I'm not pointing ssh to connect to then it want connect | 06:05 |
Blackwebbbbb | then it wont connect | 06:06 |
Laogeodritt | Blackwebbbbb: I don't know offhand (is it even case-sensitive?), but you should be able to find it in the manpage. Do "man sshd_config". You can type / and then "Interface" to search the manpage (same as Ctrl+F in GUI programs) | 06:06 |

dr_willis | totally depens on what you want matthewvz | 06:30 |
melkor | Of course, I'm here with issues about my display so ... | 06:31 |
matthewvz | dr_willis: I want something clean and nice looking, not worried about resources. | 06:31 |
dr_willis | use lubuntu then | 06:31 |
dr_willis | its the cleanest out.. ;) | 06:32 |
dr_willis | if you want a bit more off the beaten path - check out the e17 stuff | 06:32 |
dr_willis | then theres good old xfce and kde. | 06:32 |
dr_willis | then theres that elementary os. but its not officilly supported here | 06:32 |
kalenjohnson | "clean" and "nice-looking" mean different things to different people | 06:33 |

bluebomber | I have two RAID5s, and I'm having issues with them: About once every two weeks, one of the drives "fails" from the RAID5, and has to be reformatted and added back to the RAID, which then is rebuilt. How exactly can I diagnose what's happening to my RAIDs? | 06:33 |
[gnubie] | dr_willis: i already changed the UMASK to 027 into my /etc/login.defs but the users' permission still with a umask of 007. what shall i do? i want that all the users will have a umask of 027 except for system wide users | 06:34 |
matthewvz | Clean for me is not cluttered, nice looking is well nice looking. One concern is my dual monitors. I will have to try out KDE and XFCE, thank you guys. | 06:34 |
bluebomber | The drive that fails seems random, and it isn't a hardware failure. The drive passes benchmarks and works fine again once the RAID rebuilds. | 06:34 |
dr_willis | [gnubie]: id check the bash init scripts to make sure its not getting changed elsewhere. | 06:34 |
kalenjohnson | bluebomber, is it a different hard drive each time, or is it always the same? | 06:34 |
bluebomber | kalenjohnson: It has been different drives. | 06:34 |
[gnubie] | dr_willis: init scripts? which one? | 06:35 |
bluebomber | kalenjohnson: And it doesn't appear to be related to the hardware of the drive itself failing (the drive works fine after readding and rebuilding). | 06:35 |
dr_willis | [gnubie]: the various bash scripots in /etc/ and the users homes | 06:35 |

dr_willis | irssi is in the standard repos. ;) | 07:18 |
bcbc2 | darkhelmet46: I guess the difference is that you didn't install grub at all. Wubi doesn't require all the modules in /boot/grub because they're in the wubildr. | 07:18 |
bcbc2 | darkhelmet46: and when you run 'grub-install' it copies them to /boot/grub including the core.img | 07:19 |
darkhelmet46 | so you're sayin i'm screwed? | 07:19 |
ikasle | cacca | 07:20 |

WW42 | so, any idea what I could type into the "boot: " prompt to try and make it go? Or what I did wrong? | 07:24 |
Jewfro-Macabbi | oskude, that part I don't know, but netboot let's you have prepared images for different architectures ready to load. | 07:24 |
oskude | Jewfro-Macabbi: my problem is to get ubuntu automatically installed. this preseed thing doesnt seem to work :/ | 07:25 |
VinceThePrince | aeon-ltd, tell me how to get these speed gains :) for example when I press "start" all the icons appear very slowly | 07:25 |
joeytwiddle | vncserver -kill :1 also kills the screen i am working in. that can't be right :E | 07:25 |
darkhelmet46 | bcbc2, I think if I boot to wubi, open the grub config file, and copy it it somewhere, i should be able to then paste most of it into the NeoGrub config. Thoughts? | 07:26 |
aeon-ltd | VinceThePrince: what spec pc? | 07:26 |
mae_tae | is that possible that all interfaces are dynamic ip's, all extracted from dhcp server? | 07:26 |
bcbc2 | darkhelmet46: I don't see how that will work. It means you need to copy the kernel and initrd.img to windows as well | 07:26 |
oskude | maybe i would be quicker to script debootstrap... | 07:27 |
oskude | does landscape do automatic installs? | 07:27 |
meLon | My cursor is getting trapped on display 0.1. Any ideas on what could cause this? | 07:28 |

DJHenjin_ | I want to set up a virtual networking interface that listens to a different IP address than the one that eth0 listens to, i have set up eth0:0 to the correct settings, i think but wehn i restart networking i get failed to bring up eth0:0 | 07:28 |
bcbc2 | darkhelmet46: why don't you try installing grub to your Ubuntu partition. Then use easyBCD again. Boot into the migrated install and make sure your partition is /dev/sda2 (it was before): sudo grub-install /dev/sda2 --force (NOTE if you get the wrong partition and do it on your windows one, windows won't boot. If you're nervous... make a windows repair CD first) | 07:28 |
darkhelmet46 | i think i tried that | 07:29 |
aeon-ltd | VinceThePrince: what cpu, gpu, ram ? | 07:29 |
DJHenjin_ | when i do /etc/init.d/networking restart i get a bunch of postconf errors | 07:29 |
bcbc2 | darkhelmet46: what's in your /boot/grub directory on /dev/sda2? (Pastebin the file list) | 07:30 |
darkhelmet46 | the other thing is it looks like after messing with EasyBCD I somehow took away the ability to boot to Wubi | 07:30 |
bcbc2 | darkhelmet46: run CMD.EXE (select Run as Administrator), then run: bcdedit | 07:31 |
bcbc2 | darkhelmet46: copy and pastebin the result and the link back here | 07:31 |
WW42 | any ideas what went wrong? When I tried to boot from the install flashdrive, it said: "ERROR: No configuration file found / No DEFAULT or UI configuration directive found! / boot: _" | 07:31 |
DJHenjin_ | here is my /etc/network/interfaces file http://pastebin.com/QuA7Z9LU | 07:31 |
aeon-ltd | VinceThePrince: i've googled and the 8740w is a $2000 laptop (i7, 4gb ram, amd firepro gpu), i'm guessing this isn't the same spec as the one you're using | 07:31 |
oskude | so heres how far i got. works only on alternate cd... in grub prompt press esc (tip from upstream docs)... type: install auto=true priority=critical url=http://the/example.cfg (tip from web)... looks good, yet it asks full user name to create... all other methods doesnt even get this far... i really wonder if this preseed thing should even work | 07:32 |

_genuser_ | AAA: cat /etc/issue Ubuntu 12.04.2 LTS \n \1 | 07:49 |
AAA | _genuser_: if you can reboot the machine, I would do that and do an fsck on the way up. this _should work. touch /forcefsck && reboot (as sudo/root) | 07:49 |
aeon-ltd | VinceThePrince: that's perfectly normal, though if you want to decrease that time you could just use lighter software e.g. openbox instead of unity | 07:49 |

bentinata | aeon-ltd: Thanks! | 07:51 |
_genuser_ | AAA: yeah, it's a hope of rebooting and rebuilding again. I wonder if all those years of gentoo vm builds are getting the disk tired. | 07:51 |

DJHenjin_ | i can ping it from my local machine as well, i dont understand why it says it cant bring the interface up if it is working | 08:10 |
AAA | DJHenjin_: it sounds like it is working. but, if you need it to go out the .23 gateway, you'll want to add something like $ route add 192.95.23.0 netmask 255.255.255.0 eth0:0 | 08:12 |
mae_tae | AAA: here's the link http://pastebin.com/f9rCZimN | 08:12 |

aetaric_ | I've upgraded from 12.04 to 12.10 on my macbook pro, now the trackpad doesn't work. Any ideas? | 08:34 |
woozly | guys, can I restore what's was in /tmp/ after it's auto- cleanup? | 08:34 |
woozly | :(( | 08:34 |
nikolam | it starts reporting keyboard addon bug, then apport itself then after 6 or so bug reports it quits | 08:34 |
zlatan | hi I have to problems. 1. I can't reboot nor shutdown Ubuntu and http://askubuntu.com/questions/132143/stuck-on-reboot-and-shutdown doesn't help. 2. can't send files (both ways) nor browse my phone via bluetooth | 08:34 |
nikolam | now it popps up apport-gtk bug report | 08:34 |
ikonia | nikolam: slow down | 08:35 |
TakeItEZ | woozly: you might try photorec if your /tmp isn't in tmpfs | 08:35 |
nikolam | It is like that since the first day of install ikonia | 08:35 |
woozly | TakeItEZ: thanks, i'll try | 08:35 |
ikonia | nikolam: so your system is running fine, then you get a popup saying lsb_release has closed unexpectedly | 08:35 |
nikolam | ok ikonia | 08:35 |
ikonia | nikolam: is my summary correct ? | 08:35 |
nikolam | ikonia, ikonia , it first pops up like application crash, then apport-gtk crash and then lsb_release crash | 08:36 |
ikonia | nikolam: you're not making sense | 08:36 |
nikolam | now reports /usr/lib/command-not found | 08:36 |
ikonia | nikolam: you system is running fine - then you get a warning that lsb_release has crashed, correct ? | 08:37 |

nikolam | ikonia, this is my second instalaltion on second HDD. Since the moment of update from 12.04 to 12.04.2 it pops up bugs and I think apport is unable to report them automatically. | 08:37 |
histo | Ritalin | 08:37 |
ikonia | nikolam: please stop giving me information I'm not asking for and answer the question I AM asking | 08:38 |
* histo hands ikonia a beer | 08:38 | |
=== JoFo_ is now known as JoFo | ||
nikolam | ikonia, no, system running fine, and he pops up showing many crash bug reports once a day | 08:38 |
ikonia | nikolam: right, ok, so there is a bigger problem here then | 08:38 |
nikolam | ikonia, no. lsb_release is final stage of all bugs. | 08:38 |
ikonia | nikolam: from what you are saying, your upgrade is not working | 08:38 |
ikonia | nikolam: have you tried a clean 12.10 install ? | 08:38 |
mae_tae | AAA: is this concept that i presented you, is it that possible? | 08:38 |
nikolam | I was thinking it was the root of the problem since it is last showed | 08:39 |
ikonia | nikolam: no, it's not the root of the problem, hence why I'm trying to get clear information from you | 08:39 |
^DEMOSS^ | how i can mount read only my raid md0 ? | 08:39 |
Viliny | Hey, whats up with the cd image on the ubuntu site that doesn't fit on a cd? | 08:39 |
histo | woozly: it's unlikely, but you can try with data recovery tools. Why were you storing stuff in /tmp? | 08:39 |
ikonia | nikolam: have you tried a clean 12.10 install ? | 08:39 |
nikolam | ikonia, i was not tried 12.10, since It is older machine and I tend to use it as a router. Maybe I could try, but it is strance, since I think LTS should be supported? | 08:39 |
auronandace | Viliny: you use a dvd instead | 08:39 |
woozly | histo: I don't know that It clean up automatically :(((( | 08:39 |
acelitemn | i disabled ipv6 but internet is slow slow. I dont idea how to fix that :( | 08:39 |
ikonia | nikolam: hang on why are you pgrading it then ? | 08:40 |
auronandace | Viliny: or opt to put it on a usb | 08:40 |
histo | woozly: upon restart | 08:40 |
ikonia | read | 08:40 |
woozly | photorec says 'No harddisk found' | 08:40 |
histo | woozly: /tmp is cleaned | 08:40 |
ikonia | nikolam: sorry, you're upgtrading it to 12.04.2 | 08:40 |
ikonia | nikolam: sorry, I miss-read | 08:40 |
nikolam | ikonia, I think, you are not listening to me, It is automatic upgrade that is offered to LTS release. | 08:40 |
AAA | mae_tae: yes, it sure is. as long as the dhcpd server can connect to the .23 network (.23. is your eth1 and .32. is your eth0) | 08:40 |
Viliny | auronandace: yeah thats my next step, but still... an image barely bigger than a cd to waste a dvd on :/ | 08:40 |
ikonia | nikolam: yes, I see it's 12.04.2 | 08:40 |
nikolam | yes :) | 08:40 |
woozly | histo: Now I know it .. :( but it is too late.. I've made big script, which I write over 3 days.. | 08:40 |
woozly | And I write it in /tmp .... :((((((( | 08:40 |
woozly | oh my God. | 08:41 |
AAA | mae_tae: from the dhcp server, can you ping the eth1 address of the host machine? | 08:41 |
ikonia | nikolam: ok, the first question is do you have any PPA's or external software repositories on the system ? | 08:41 |
auronandace | Viliny: i was a little disappointed at that too | 08:41 |
woozly | does vim has some histories? | 08:41 |
histo | woozly: Yeah /tmp as in temporary | 08:41 |
woozly | or something | 08:41 |
Viliny | auronandace: i tried overburning but no dice :/ | 08:41 |
nikolam | Now I get "problem report is damaged and cannot be porcessed" | 08:41 |
nikolam | ikonia, no, it is clean install with default repos | 08:41 |
histo | woozly: first remount / with ro and try and recover | 08:41 |
nikolam | and it is the second install behaving the same way | 08:41 |
mae_tae | AAA: there's no ip assign to eth1, it doesnt get any ip from dhcp server | 08:41 |
ikonia | nikolam: I'm trying to find when 12.0.4.2 was released | 08:42 |
AAA | mae_tae: sorry, where is the link to your $ ifconfig -a ? | 08:42 |
histo | woozly: http://vim.wikia.com/wiki/Recovering_files | 08:42 |
nikolam | I installed firewall configuratioin (since firestarter was not behaving) and I am sharing wireless connection to LAN. | 08:42 |
AAA | mae_tae: and cast /etc/network/interfaces | 08:42 |
histo | woozly: vim -r "" | 08:42 |
AAA | mae_tae: er, cat | 08:42 |
histo | woozly: vim -r | 08:42 |
ikonia | nikolam: is this a standard 12.04 desktop/server install ? | 08:42 |
ikonia | which one | 08:42 |
woozly | empty :(((((((((((( nnnnnoooooooooooooooooooooooooo..........!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! | 08:43 |
ikonia | nikolam: 32/64bit ? | 08:43 |
woozly | shiiiitt | 08:43 |
ikonia | woozly: stop the language | 08:43 |
nikolam | it is kernel 3.2.0-38 | 08:43 |
woozly | good lesson for me. | 08:43 |
histo | woozly: try vim -r with no opptions | 08:43 |
ikonia | woozly: grow up - people are trying to help you | 08:43 |
auronandace | ikonia: https://lists.ubuntu.com/archives/ubuntu-announce/2013-February/000166.html | 08:43 |
ikonia | auronandace: thank you | 08:43 |
nikolam | ikonia, it is i386 desktop standard install , yes | 08:43 |
woozly | vim -r - empty | 08:43 |
woozly | :( | 08:43 |
ikonia | nikolam: try an install from this media http://releases.ubuntu.com/precise/ubuntu-12.04.2-desktop-i386.iso | 08:43 |
woozly | dammit, this situation is lol :) | 08:43 |
histo | woozly: okay well if you mount ro immediately testdisk maybe able to help | 08:43 |
woozly | thank you guys.. Let's write code again.. | 08:43 |
ikonia | nikolam: lets see if you have this problem from a 12.04.2 install | 08:43 |
AAA | vim /dev/null =p | 08:44 |
heidelfuchs | hey there... i did a dist-upgrad from 12.04 to 12.10... unfortunately all my virtual machines now have no internet access anymore. I tried to reconfigure virtualbox but i still have the problem. Any suggestions? :/ | 08:44 |
ikonia | nikolam: it sounds like the updates are failing, | 08:44 |
woozly | histo: what is ro ? | 08:44 |
histo | woozly: read only | 08:44 |
histo | woozly: so you stop overwriting deleted files | 08:44 |
woozly | but I'm on linode.. | 08:44 |
woozly | Linode servers | 08:44 |
heidelfuchs | vboxnet is loaded | 08:44 |
mae_tae | AAA: what you can see inside interfaces is auto eth0 ... iface eth0 inet dhcp ...... auto eth1 .... iface eth1 inet dhcp | 08:44 |
histo | !undelete | woozly | 08:44 |
ubottu | woozly: Some tools to recover lost data are listed and explained at https://help.ubuntu.com/community/DataRecovery - Recovering deleted files on !ext3 filesystems can be virtually impossible, although methods that might work is some cases are described at at http://www.xs4all.nl/~carlo17/howto/undelete_ext3.html and http://projects.izzysoft.de/trac/ext3undel | 08:44 |
nikolam | ikonia, so your suggestioin is to reinstall machine? And not fixing the problem everyone seems to have with updating their LTS release? | 08:44 |
woozly | Thank you! let's try... | 08:44 |
histo | woozly: Don't save files to /tmp unless you want them gone on reboot | 08:44 |
woozly | histo: yes.. now I know it :) | 08:45 |
auronandace | nikolam: everyone? | 08:45 |
AAA | mae_tae: you need to tail the servers dhcpd log as you renew the leases on the 2 interfaces on your host | 08:45 |
mae_tae | AAA: actually if restart the dhcp server it returns an error, pc is already exist.... | 08:45 |
dr_willis | why woul you want to save to /tmp ? | 08:45 |
histo | dr_willis: lol | 08:45 |
mae_tae | AAA: i really dont dhcp.log in var/log.... | 08:45 |
mae_tae | *see | 08:45 |
dr_willis | seems we have had 3-5 people in here the lasst week saveing documents to /tmp/ for some weird reaon | 08:45 |
histo | dr_willis: This goes back to my people create their own problems and have to make things difficult | 08:45 |
nikolam | auronandace, well, suppose, since it is clean install , 2 times, what would be different, maybe to those that don't need to report bugs? | 08:45 |
AAA | mae_tae: it is probably named something else. | 08:46 |
Aesthetic | ahhh. i just upgraded to 12.10....and Palimpsest is gone. its this new horrid piece of crap. is there a way i can downgrade to the old disk manager? | 08:46 |
nikolam | auronandace, notice, it is problem with even Reporting bugs that is not working | 08:46 |
ikonia | nikolam: why do you think "everyone" is having this problem ? | 08:46 |
ikonia | nikolam: please do'nt make things up | 08:46 |
* ejv giggles | 08:46 | |
AAA | mae_tae: tail -n44 /var/log/dhc<tb> | 08:46 |
ikonia | nikolam: my suggestion is not re-install, my solution is to "fix it" but part of fixing is verifying the problem | 08:46 |
AAA | mae_tae: tab, the <tb> means hit tab | 08:46 |
nikolam | ikonia, since problem is I think with bug reporting not able to work, so they can not report bugs. | 08:46 |
ikonia | nikolam: verifying you don't have the problem with a 12.04.2 install will prove it's part of the process | 08:46 |
ikonia | nikolam: please don't make things up | 08:47 |
nikolam | ikonia, so I reinstall as the part of the resolution? ok. | 08:47 |
ikonia | nikolam: you have NO idea how many people are affcted | 08:47 |
histo | !downgrade | Aesthetic | 08:47 |
ubottu | Aesthetic: Attempting to downgrade to an older Ubuntu version is explicitly not supported and may break your system. | 08:47 |
ikonia | nikolam: it is probably just you due to a package/config you have, as if it was EVERYONE people would be complaining all the time | 08:47 |
Aesthetic | Aesthetic: i didnt say downgrade ubuntu. i said disk manager | 08:47 |
nikolam | but I think it could not fix bugs with updating LTS TO current release? | 08:47 |
Aesthetic | the old Palimpsest. i want it back | 08:47 |
Aesthetic | it had a great way to manage my md volumes | 08:47 |
ikonia | nikolam: so my suggestion is to do a 12.04.2 install and verify you don't have the problem, so we know where the problem is introduced | 08:47 |
nikolam | ok, my package config is default. | 08:47 |
* Genscher downloads the 6th iso of an ubuntu flavour | 08:48 | |
mae_tae | AAA: it seems that dhcp server, doesnt accept this host pc { hardware ....... , fixed-add......, hardware, fixed-address } or host pc { hardware <newhardware> ..} host pc { hardware: <another hardware> } sorry, i really dont find dhcp in var log | 08:48 |
nikolam | I will reinstall as you say and report ikoni | 08:48 |
ikonia | Genscher: we don't need a commentary | 08:48 |
ikonia | nikolam: this is only a test - not a solution | 08:48 |
jimmy_lo_chien_f | Hi I just upgraded ubuntu from 11.10 to 12.10 | 08:48 |
ikonia | nikolam: we are verifying the problem | 08:48 |
nikolam | ikonia, I CAN NOT VERIFY problem in previous release by installing newer release I think. | 08:48 |
ikonia | nikolam: err you can | 08:48 |
nikolam | ok, I will do it ikonia | 08:48 |
ikonia | nikolam: I'm losing interest | 08:48 |
ikonia | nikolam: you seem to want help but argue everything | 08:49 |
histo | jimmy_lo_chien_f: How? | 08:49 |
jimmy_lo_chien_f | but my nautilus has some problem when I try to connect to server | 08:49 |
ikonia | nikolam: you'd verify if the problem is with the 12.04.2 packages or the upgrade processs by doing a clean install | 08:49 |
Genscher | ikillcypher, well if one of the ubuntu's would work, you wouldn't need it, right. | 08:49 |
histo | jimmy_lo_chien_f: You can't upgrade like that. | 08:49 |
Genscher | @ ikonia | 08:49 |
auronandace | jimmy_lo_chien_f: did you go from 11.10 to 12.10 directly or did you go through 12.04 first? | 08:49 |
ikonia | nikolam: that's the point of doing a 12.0.4.2 install to verify if the problem is with the update process, or with the end results packages | 08:49 |
histo | Genscher: What sort of problem are you having? | 08:49 |
ikonia | Genscher: you don't need to anyway | 08:49 |
nikolam | ikonia, i am losing interest in Ubuntu. I was using LTS since 8.04 and every time during updates over years some things got bad updated for some time, but not to this exent like in 12.04 | 08:49 |
jimmy_lo_chien_f | I upgraded to 12.04 first | 08:50 |
nikolam | ikonia, ok i will and i will report. thanks | 08:50 |
histo | nikolam: I haven't had the issues you are experiencing | 08:50 |
ikonia | nikolam: don't use it them pick another distro if you don't like it | 08:50 |
histo | jimmy_lo_chien_f: What sort of problems are you having connecting to a server? | 08:50 |
ikonia | histo: everyone is having it, did you not read with nikolam everyone is having it, they just are not reporting it | 08:50 |
AAA | mae_tae: does eth0 and eth1 have the defined IPs from your dhpd server? It sounds like you need a route to that network on the dhcpd server. also, is the switch that connects these 2 server using lacp? | 08:50 |
* ejv grabs popcorn | 08:50 | |

Aesthetic | so is there any way to get Palimpsest bck? | 08:51 |
Aesthetic | *back | 08:51 |
histo | Genscher: Also what is downloading different iso's going to solve? | 08:51 |
jimmy_lo_chien_f | histo, I've followed the direction on the page. I still can't connect to server | 08:51 |
mae_tae | yes.... i did assign fixed ip add in my dhcp server but it returns an error it says only 1 fixed address per host | 08:52 |
Genscher | histo, well, i would if the installer on the live cd wouldn't crash because of this. And yes, trying another iso, just to be sure. Thanks for your help! | 08:52 |
baumy | dr_willis: turns out installing slim more or less covered up my problem so im going to live with it | 08:52 |
mae_tae | AAA: yes.... i did assign fixed ip add in my dhcp server but it returns an error it says only 1 fixed address per host | 08:52 |
histo | !nomodeset | Gentlecat_ No problem good luck | 08:52 |
ubottu | Gentlecat_ No problem good luck: 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. See http://ubuntuforums.org/showthread.php?t=1613132 on how to use this parameter | 08:52 |
baumy | dr_willis: gave me a login manager in the middle of my dual screens, so visible if wonky | 08:52 |
baumy | dr_willis: and it seems pretty easy to move it around so it fits | 08:52 |
baumy | dr_willis: then x session starts properly. so thanks a bunch | 08:52 |
histo | jimmy_lo_chien_f: What page? | 08:52 |
jimmy_lo_chien_f | histo, this page, http://askubuntu.com/questions/87335/nautilus-cannot-load-supported-server-method-list-please-check-your-gvfs-inst | 08:53 |
mae_tae | AAA: actually the first interface eth0 get its assign IP add, but the 2nd one does not | 08:53 |
histo | jimmy_lo_chien_f: did you try the solutions on that page? | 08:53 |
jimmy_lo_chien_f | histo, yes, I did | 08:53 |
jimmy_lo_chien_f | I still cannot connect to server | 08:54 |
AAA | mae_tae: the second interface is 'fake' and that may be your problem | 08:54 |
histo | jimmy_lo_chien_f: I dont' evenhave the option to connect to sftp in nautilus | 08:54 |
AAA | mae_tae: there is probably a work around for this, but I don't have it tonight. sorry | 08:54 |

histo | jimmy_lo_chien_f: however ctrl+l and typing sftp://server in the location bar works for me. | 08:56 |
zlatan | ejv, not for me :) | 08:56 |
ejv | zlatan: any external devices such as a UPS attached to your Ubuntu? i've seen instances in the past where a UPS could prevent a shutdown sequence, due to a bug in the daemon. | 08:56 |
jimmy_lo_chien_f | histo, do you see "Connect to Server"? | 08:57 |
histo | jimmy_lo_chien_f: Yea I found what you are talking about ssh in the connect to server dialog. That should be changed to sftp | 08:57 |
=== TheRainbowDusk is now known as Dawn_ | ||
histo | or sshfs or whatever nautilus is using | 08:57 |
histo | jimmy_lo_chien_f: any how can you connect to he server via ssh in a terminal? | 08:57 |
AAA | mae_tae: yeah, that is because it is looking to match IP with MAC, and eth0 already matches it. I'm sure there is a soluttion to this, but la lalala | 08:57 |
jimmy_lo_chien_f | I don't know how to connect to server via terminal | 08:58 |
histo | jimmy_lo_chien_f: Is the server setup to answer ssh requests? | 08:58 |

dr_willis | i would have just used gparted by now and moved on Aesthetic.. guess you could compile it from source if its not in the repos any more.. or in any ppas | 09:00 |
mae_tae | AAA: huhuhu :'-(..... thanks | 09:00 |
mae_tae | AAA: at last i solve it, heheh | 09:04 |
AAA | mae_tae: do tell | 09:05 |
mae_tae | AAA: i am just curios that all interfaces are all eth0, but when ifconfig it, there is that eth1 | 09:07 |
AAA | mae_tae: does ifconfig eth1 show an IP address? it thought you were working on eth0:[0-9] | 09:11 |
mae_tae | AAA: i dont really have problem working with eth0, only on eth1, yes eth1 can now extract ip address from dhcp server | 09:12 |
AAA | mae_tae: and ethtool -S eth1 shows a connection? and all is well? | 09:13 |
AAA | manybe it's ethool -s <interface? | 09:13 |

max451f | I had a problem: my laptop turns on after shutdown, if wireless adapter is on. If I turn off wireless by hardware swith and shutdown my laptop - all good, it dosn't starts automaticly. But, if I shutdown my laptop when wireless is intact, it starts automaticly on few seconds | 10:16 |
ania_ | Max45 i think there is setting in bios to autoreboot in wifi up | 10:17 |
ania_ | im not sure | 10:18 |
ania_ | it doesnt nessesery is ubuntu | 10:18 |

max451f | In win7 problem dosn't exist | 10:19 |

dr_willis | ruliezz: that sould be doable.. depending on your video chipset and drivers | 10:35 |

DocPlatypus | then: sudo service network-mananger stop | 10:35 |

TakeItEZ | ikillcypher: if you don't have any idea, you don't work as root | 11:13 |
dr_willis | well i would suggest that unless you KNOW you need to do it as root... you use stuff as a user | 11:13 |
cfhowlett | red_baron_777, greetings | 11:13 |
ikillcypher | when I did this command normally | 11:13 |
ikillcypher | curl https://dl-ssl.google.com/dl/googlesource/git-repo/repo > ~/bin/repo | 11:13 |
ax562_ | lol | 11:13 |
red_baron_777 | how can I close the ps aux | less command? | 11:13 |
cfhowlett | ikillcypher, dude. less keying, more reading. | 11:13 |
ikillcypher | I got access denided | 11:13 |
dr_willis | ~/bin is a file in your users home directory | 11:13 |
cfhowlett | red_baron_777, coontrol c | 11:13 |
dr_willis | you make that directory 'mkdir bin' | 11:13 |
cfhowlett | control c | 11:13 |
ikillcypher | I did | 11:13 |
dr_willis | no need for root at all | 11:13 |
ikillcypher | when I did mkdir -p ~/bin | 11:14 |
red_baron_777 | it doesn't let me with ctrl C | 11:14 |
red_baron_777 | I'm using putty | 11:14 |
ikillcypher | it is default had a lock in it | 11:14 |

dr_willis | ikillcypher: then you did it as root for ssome reason | 11:15 |
TakeItEZ | cfhowlett: "q" is the command to quit less | 11:15 |
red_baron_777 | with q it worked | 11:15 |

DJones | !alis | red_baron_777 I've never seen one mentioned, but the bot should be able to help you find one, | 11:16 |
ubottu | red_baron_777 I've never seen one mentioned, but the bot should be able to help you find one,: alis is a services bot that can help you find channels. Read "/msg alis help list" for help and ask any questions about it in #freenode. Example usage: /msg alis list #ubuntu* or /msg alis list *http* | 11:16 |
ikillcypher | dr_willis, so what do I now | 11:16 |
ikillcypher | remove everything which I cant | 11:16 |
dr_willis | ikillcypher: if its owned by root.. you need sudo/root rights | 11:17 |
dr_willis | sudo rm /home/yourusername/bin | 11:17 |
dr_willis | then remake it as your user | 11:17 |
red_baron_777 | does some software ease putting shortcuts on Ubuntu 12.04 desktop? | 11:17 |
ikillcypher | I will just delete everything and redo | 11:17 |
TakeItEZ | ikillcypher: if a folder you create is root-owned, you created it as root. so stop using a root-shell or sudo | 11:17 |
branko | Hello. I've configured the static IP address on Ubuntu 12.04 using the /etc/network/interfaces. The server is on a network with a DHCP server, but I want it to be statically configured. The problem I'm having is that upon a boot, or periodically, the server will suddenly run dhclient, which will change the IP address from the static one. | 11:18 |
branko | What would be the official way to disable automatic invocation of dhcp client? | 11:18 |
dr_willis | red_baron_777: the whole idea of shortcuts on the desktop is sort of old school and slowly going away. you can make .desktop files and copy them to your Desktop folder if you wanteed to. | 11:18 |
branko | (I've seen a couple of guides out there, but all of those seem quite dirty to me, so I'm wondering if there's some sane/simple way to go about it) | 11:18 |
dr_willis | red_baron_777: many window managers/desktop enviroments dont even show thise icons any more | 11:18 |
Physicist | !slackware | 11:19 |

dr_willis | red_baron_777: make a bin directory akd keep stuff in there | 11:20 |
ikillcypher | rm: cannot remove `/home/ikillcypher/bin': Is a directory | 11:21 |
dr_willis | then you use rmdir | 11:21 |
red_baron_777 | so every time when I want to open fast a program, first I must open that directory's window? | 11:21 |
ikillcypher | rmdir: failed to remove `/home/ikillcypher/bin': Directory not empty | 11:21 |

bilou23 | hi, I wanted to add myself to a group, I think I've done a mistake, now I'm not in the admin group anymore, I can't do "sudo .." commands because I'm not in the sudoers file, and I can't add myself to it because the tutorials I see for that are requiring to use "sudo adduser ...", I don't know the root password, (strangely it's not the same than me)... | 11:28 |

Koshka | Hi, I'm using 12.04 and I just updated Firefox to 19.0. With that, FF seemed to lose tab grouping functionality and for once, Google didn't have similar problems and solutions. Can anyone tell me if this'd be specific to me or does the latest version have a bug of this magnitude? | 11:28 |
ikillcypher | how do I remove more then one | 11:29 |

=== owen is now known as Guest29516 | ||
ikillcypher | rm -rf /home/ikillcypher/bin and there is like dalvik folder , android folder | 11:29 |
cfhowlett | Physicist, so connection ran properly but you can't connect? run the executable from the command line and see what feedback you get | 11:29 |
ikillcypher | do I have to do rm -rf /home/ikillcypher/bin each time for each folde r? | 11:29 |
dr_willis | ikillcypher: err,, that deletes a folder.. with all contents.. if thats what you want to do... | 11:30 |
ikillcypher | yes there are others folder too | 11:30 |
ikillcypher | all which are 1GB so I want to remove others too | 11:31 |
=== Dan_ is now known as Guest96361 | ||
dr_willis | be sure you dont delete stuff you want to keep. | 11:31 |
ikillcypher | and not wait like for rm -rf /home/ikillcypher/bin to be done then do rm -rf /home/ikillcypher/android follow by rm -rf /home/ikillcypher/dalvik | 11:31 |
cfhowlett | ikillcypher, that is the safest method | 11:31 |
=== lux_ is now known as Guest42248 | ||
ikillcypher | can I do like | 11:34 |
ikillcypher | rm -rf /home/ikillcypher/bin && rm -rf /home/ikillcypher/dalivik ? | 11:34 |
dr_willis | bash basics,,,,, yes | 11:34 |
dr_willis | if you read some bash guides you will find shorter ways to do that | 11:34 |
dr_willis | cd | 11:34 |
dr_willis | rm -rf dir1 dir2 dir3 | 11:34 |
ikillcypher | huh you dont need , or && ? | 11:35 |

DJones | alphAEcho: If you give details of what the problem is, people may be able to help | 11:37 |
alphAEcho | ok i know my DHCP is working | 11:38 |
alphAEcho | it is giving IP addressess to servers | 11:38 |

alphAEcho | thank you cfhowlett | 11:39 |
alphAEcho | so when the other server that i want to install proxmox on it gets the ip from the PXE server it gives PXE-E11 ARP timeout and PXE-E38 TFTP can't open a connection | 11:40 |

histo | red_baron_777: You can add stuff "bookmarks" in nautilus | 11:51 |
dr_willis | isent there an amazon drive tool that stores your muzak? | 11:51 |

dr_willis | i got a whole 1 album on amazon music.. because they added it to my collection from when i bought a cd like 3 yrs ago... | 11:53 |
dr_willis | which was nice of them actually | 11:53 |

red_baron_777 | but if I want aprox. 30 shortcuts, the luncbar would be loooong | 12:00 |
histo | yet we have a shopping lens that canonical is making money off of from them | 12:00 |
dr_willis | amazon prime -- not wworking on linux at the moment either | 12:00 |

Jutas | Hi Everyone, Do you know an application which can backup windows such as Redo backup, acronis, norton ghost? | 12:02 |
dr_willis | !backup | 12:02 |
ubottu | There are many ways to back your system up. Here's a few: https://help.ubuntu.com/community/BackupYourSystem , https://help.ubuntu.com/community/DuplicityBackupHowto , https://wiki.ubuntu.com/HomeUserBackup , https://help.ubuntu.com/community/MondoMindi - See also !sbackup and !cloning | 12:02 |
red_baron_777 | I don't understand: why we can't use desktop shortcuts? | 12:03 |
red_baron_777 | the desktop in this way will be unused... | 12:03 |
Jutas | !sbackup and !cloning are the names of the apps? | 12:03 |
ubottu | Jutas: I am only a bot, please don't think I'm intelligent :) | 12:03 |
dr_willis | read what the bot said. ;) | 12:04 |
cfhowlett | Jutas, dejadup | 12:04 |
histo | dr_willis: what with chrome it doesn't work? | 12:04 |
DJones | !sbackup | Jutas: No, they're factoids giving info from the bot, | 12:04 |
ubottu | Jutas: No, they're factoids giving info from the bot,: sbackup is a tool to create complete and/or incremental backups (which can be scheduled to be automatic, and can be done over a network). It is available in !Universe | 12:04 |
dr_willis | histo: nope.. some sort of flash drm issue it seems | 12:04 |
Jutas | thanks a lot | 12:04 |

AppleJuice | user123, Reinstall the whole operating system is a solution. | 12:15 |
dr_willis | then dont do whatever silly you things you did that got it hacked.. | 12:15 |
Raajhesh | nice | 12:15 |
dr_willis | assuming it is hacked,. | 12:15 |
user123 | the thing is i don't know what i did :| | 12:16 |
histo | user123: What makes you believe it's hacked? | 12:16 |
AppleJuice | user123, Why do you think your computer is hacked? | 12:16 |
user123 | well someone has been able to know what youtube vid i was watching | 12:16 |
histo | user123: okay perhaps they have your google login and they are viewing your history | 12:17 |
AppleJuice | Has thise someone acces to your computer? | 12:17 |
histo | user123: there is also rkhunter | 12:17 |
user123 | nope i don't have a youtube account and no one has a physicall access i think it's a hack | 12:17 |
histo | user123: Is the person on the same network | 12:17 |
histo | user123: Do you have a gmail account? | 12:18 |
* cfhowlett thinks "Did I totally miss the !details???" | 12:18 | |
user123 | well i suspect the following someone has been able to get in the router | 12:18 |
superman | hei user123 do you use win7 | 12:18 |
superman | ? | 12:18 |
user123 | y ? | 12:18 |
AppleJuice | Aye.. wrong channel. | 12:18 |
histo | superman: no he's in linux right now. | 12:19 |
histo | user123: How would the person get in the router? are they on the same network? Or do they live nextdoor? | 12:19 |
dward | user123 use wpa/wpa3 and a sentance for password, turn wep off. no one will be able to get in your router anymore | 12:20 |
dward | wpa2 | 12:20 |
user123 | the weird thing it's like a super duper hack i don't use wireless | 12:20 |
dward | turn wps off not wep | 12:20 |
superman | hey any finish people here? | 12:20 |
user123 | but magicly port 80 got opened | 12:20 |
superman | from Finland i mean? | 12:20 |
DJones | superman: Probably most of them will be in #ubuntu-fi | 12:20 |
superman | how do i get there on that channel? | 12:21 |
AppleJuice | Whoa user123. How you know this person hacked into the router? Is this anyway possible from the outside? | 12:21 |
cfhowlett | superman, /join #ubuntu-fi | 12:21 |
histo | user123: if they got access to your network they could run a mitm attack and see everything you are doing. | 12:21 |
AppleJuice | user123, To which server does port 80 point to? | 12:21 |
histo | user123: without infecting your ubuntu computer at all. | 12:21 |
AppleJuice | user123, Your own computer or the web interface from the router? | 12:22 |
jesusabdullah | ugh I think I'm gonna have to roll back this laptop to use old fedora >_< | 12:22 |
jesusabdullah | I've tried pretty much every bokernel boot flag imaginable >_< | 12:22 |

dr_willis | i hope he changed the default router password...... | 12:22 |
histo | jesusabdullah: what problem are you having? | 12:22 |
cfhowlett | dr_willis, 1 chinese yuan says ; no | 12:22 |
histo | dr_willis: I wouldn't even need access to the router just the network to do what he is describing | 12:22 |
user123 | well i reset the router and reset the password the problem still there he maybe infected the Loader of the router or something | 12:23 |
histo | dr_willis: Still think this is all bs though. | 12:23 |
user123 | i'm using the LTS version | 12:23 |
histo | user123: What do you mean port 80 is open now? | 12:23 |
dr_willis | histo: oh yea.. i know you watched the My Little Pony season Finale! :) | 12:23 |

dward | did you write it yourself ants | 12:44 |
ants | can I fix it from the grub menu? No I didn;t | 12:44 |
dward | you can boot if you know what kernel you are using | 12:44 |

dward | you know which one has your root fs? | 12:46 |
mae_tae | subnet 192.168.5.0 netmask 255.255.255.0 { range 192.0.0.10 192.0.0.20 } <--- is this possible to implement in ubuntu? meaning i had different range of ip's from its subnet | 12:47 |
dward | try ls (hd0,1)/ | 12:47 |
jesusabdullah | histo: if you have any ideas I'd love to hear them XD | 12:47 |
dward | or whatever to try to find your root fs | 12:47 |
ants | if it's sda and it's the first to boot from in bios would that be hd0? | 12:47 |
ants | ok yup trying now | 12:47 |
ants | ok yeah thats the one man | 12:48 |
ants | h0 | 12:48 |
dward | most likely hd0 but it depends on your gru config | 12:48 |
ants | hd0 | 12:48 |
oxide | hello people! | 12:48 |
ants | what should I run now? | 12:48 |
ants | irc on the phone sucks lol | 12:48 |
superman | do run irc on iphone? | 12:49 |
superman | do you* | 12:49 |
ants | nah android because my desktop is buggered after win 8 install | 12:49 |
cfhowlett | jesusabdullah, you (1) checked ISO integrity with md5sum and (2) verifed boot media integrity with "Check this disk for errors" | 12:49 |
dward | damn i wish i could see my config | 12:50 |
superman | but is it possible to install irc on iphone? | 12:50 |
krux | yes | 12:50 |
jesusabdullah | cf16: I just installed it on another laptop, I can still check these but afaict the boot media itself is fine | 12:50 |
ants | so hd0 has my install, can I update grub some how now fromt he grub menu? | 12:50 |
jesusabdullah | er cfhowlett | 12:51 |
dward | porbably do this | 12:51 |
oxide | i have a question: Which is lightest os?lubuntu or xubuntu? | 12:51 |
cfhowlett | jesusabdullah, didn't see your last. | 12:51 |
dward | set root=(hd0) | 12:51 |
cfhowlett | oxide, I'd say they're even ... | 12:51 |
dward | linux /vmlinuz ro root=/dev/sda | 12:51 |
ants | ok trying now | 12:51 |
dr_willis | id say lubuntu is lighter, ;) | 12:51 |
cfhowlett | oxide, see for yourself. install one and then install the other on top | 12:52 |
jesusabdullah | sorry cfhowlett terrible internet | 12:52 |
jesusabdullah | cfhowlett:" what I said was that I just installed it on a similar but not identical laptop so I think that's fine | 12:52 |
jesusabdullah | if you think it could still be an issue I can check | 12:52 |
dward | initrd /<your initrd image>.img | 12:52 |
Milestone5 | can anyone please help me? | 12:52 |
oxide | hmmm good idea | 12:52 |
dward | then just boot | 12:52 |
cfhowlett | jesusabdullah, well, md5sum check takes ... 2 minutes? | 12:52 |
oxide | lubuntu taking the same updates as ubuntu | 12:52 |
oxide | ? | 12:52 |
dward | ant: but then you have to fix your grub.cfg | 12:52 |
Milestone5 | guys, should i create a boot, swap and main partition or swap and main except boot | 12:53 |
Milestone5 | ? | 12:53 |
ants | ah I got unknown filesystem | 12:53 |
Milestone5 | my point, is the boot partition needed? | 12:53 |
dward | ant if that doesn't work, you should just use a live cd, mount your boot partition, then edit /boot/grub/grub.cfg | 12:53 |
DJones | Milestone5: I've only ever created /, swap and /home | 12:53 |
dward | ant: that might take less time then trying to figure out what arguments you need to boot | 12:53 |
Milestone5 | ok drones, i saw like 2 guides that created a 500MB /boot partition | 12:54 |
Milestone5 | so i was curious if it is needed | 12:54 |
ants | when I ran linux /vmlinuz ro root=/dev/sda | 12:54 |
Milestone5 | *djones | 12:54 |
oxide | thanks a lot,i am downloading lubuntu right now,hope it works good as xubuntu | 12:54 |
dward | ant: this often happens when trying to add windows or womething to boot | 12:54 |
* cfhowlett ... "drones" ??? | 12:54 | |
=== debiantoruser is now known as mustinvited | ||
ants | it's hellish | 12:55 |
DJones | cfhowlett: That was a mistab/typo on my nick | 12:55 |
ants | what sort of change will I have to make dward | 12:55 |
cfhowlett | oxide, not necessary. sudo apt-get install lxde will install the other interface. logout, choose "lxde session" and login again | 12:56 |
Milestone5 | so /boot isn't needed? | 12:56 |
dward | ants the best thing is probably to just scrape it and get a working version | 12:56 |
dward | ants do you have a live cd | 12:56 |
cfhowlett | Milestone5, strictly speaking, no it's not | 12:56 |
ants | so delete and then run something like update-grub? yeah I do | 12:56 |
dward | yes exactly | 12:56 |
Milestone5 | cfhowlett, is it better to create it? | 12:57 |
DJones | Milestone5: Its not needed, if you don't create one, its automatically included with / anyway | 12:57 |
ants | sweet | 12:57 |
Milestone5 | so it doesn't matter at all | 12:57 |
Milestone5 | ? | 12:57 |
Milestone5 | sorry for a such a nooby questions but i am a beginner | 12:57 |
dward | ants not sure if the live cd has grub though.... do you know how to mount rootfs from a cd? | 12:57 |
DJones | Milestone5: No, it won't matter if you don't create one | 12:57 |
Milestone5 | so / and /swap is enough? | 12:58 |
ants | I don't but I'm gonna wing it, at least I can now browse on the desktop to work though this lol | 12:58 |
dward | ants do you know your partioning? did you have a seperate boot and swap partion? | 12:59 |
DJones | Milestone5: As a minimum yes, I always create a seperate /home so that if I reinstall, I don'#t end up overwriting my /home | 12:59 |
ants | yeah I do | 12:59 |
Milestone5 | but if i don't create home, is it ok? | 12:59 |
Milestone5 | cause i always do backups | 12:59 |
DJones | Milestone5: Yes it'll be fine | 12:59 |
cfhowlett | Milestone5, those are the minimum recommendations. | 12:59 |
Milestone5 | i assume /home will be in / then | 13:00 |
cfhowlett | Milestone5, correct. | 13:00 |
Milestone5 | ok | 13:00 |
=== Dawn_ is now known as PrincessDaybreak | ||
Milestone5 | last question | 13:01 |
cfhowlett | Milestone5, fwiw, I a separate /home has saved my bacon more than once ... | 13:01 |
Milestone5 | when i finished managing partitions | 13:01 |
Milestone5 | should i tick Format on / only or also on swap | 13:01 |
Milestone5 | cause it is ticked on / automatically | 13:01 |
cfhowlett | Milestone5, run with it. | 13:02 |
Milestone5 | so i should not tick format for swap? | 13:02 |
Milestone5 | a.k.a. run with the format settings that the installer defined? | 13:02 |
dward | ants, here is a script that will get you back into your filesystem from a livecd command prompt | 13:03 |
dward | http://paste.ubuntu.com/5567562/ | 13:03 |
ants | Thnk you! | 13:03 |
dward | it assumes that /dev/sda3 is root and /dev/sda1 is your boot | 13:03 |
dward | and that you don't have a seperate boot and grub partition | 13:04 |
Milestone5 | guys, should i let the format tick box unticked as the installer defined | 13:04 |
ants | yup | 13:04 |
Milestone5 | ? | 13:04 |
jeetpei | you should format | 13:04 |
jeetpei | Milestone5 | 13:04 |
cfhowlett | Milestone5, those installer settings are fine. However, if/when you set up a separate /home, ensure that you do NOT format it ... | 13:04 |
jeetpei | Milestone5 : you should format | 13:04 |
Milestone5 | the "Format?" tick box got ticked only for "/" | 13:05 |
Milestone5 | and the swap tick box is blank | 13:05 |
Milestone5 | so i assume these settings are fine | 13:05 |
Milestone5 | (i am serious noob) | 13:05 |
DJones | Milestone5: From memory, the swap tick box is greyed out anyway & doesn't need formatting | 13:05 |
Milestone5 | it isn't greyed out but ok, you guys say i should leave it intact | 13:06 |
dward | ants then i would run grub-install --recheck /dev/sdX | 13:06 |
DJones | Milestone5: Leave as it stands | 13:06 |
dward | ants then like you said update-grub | 13:06 |
Milestone5 | so now i should just pick "/" and click install now? | 13:06 |
jeetpei | Milestone5 : go for next step | 13:06 |
jeetpei | Milestone5 : yes | 13:06 |

dward | grub.cfg will be in /boot/grub/grub.cfg | 13:10 |

Kurdistan | Hi my friend has fujitsu siemens amilo laptop and this is graphical card detail: http://paste.ubuntu.com/5567659/ . The issue is resume back from suspend. It goes to suspend, but when wake up it goes black screen. He really likes 12.04.2. | 13:53 |
janisozaur | Kurdistan, i have radeon too and similar (maybe the same?) issue. the problem seems to be, that the gpu tries to output screen over hdmi when resumed from suspend | 13:55 |
janisozaur | Kurdistan, plugging in and unplugging hdmi brings screen back to life | 13:55 |

thdarkknight | yes Ubuntu Ultimate Edition | 13:59 |
Kurdistan | janisozaur, do you know how to solve it my friend? | 13:59 |
janisozaur | thdarkknight, o.O what's that? there are no editions of ubuntu, especially no 'ultimate' ones | 13:59 |
thdarkknight | what is not supported here UE or Acer? | 14:00 |
Touhou11 | Ubuntu ultimate edition always reminds me of this: http://funroll-loops.info/ | 14:00 |
cfhowlett | janisozaur, it's an unsupported port of ubuntu. there are many. UE is not supported on this channel | 14:00 |
janisozaur | Kurdistan, as i said, connecting and disconnecting hdmi is a workaround that works for me. YMMV and i don't know solution to your problem | 14:01 |
Kurdistan | janisozaur, so you mean if he tries connecting to TV and then disconnect it will work? | 14:02 |
avrelaun | jeetpei: 12.10 | 14:02 |

janisozaur | Kurdistan, no. i said it works for me, so it *might* work for him too | 14:02 |
avrelaun | jeetpei: I'm trying an apt-get update && upgrade | 14:03 |
hubahuba | Kurdistan: I believe there is both a free driver (radeon) and a more non-free one (fglrx). tried both? | 14:03 |
avrelaun | jeetpei: If this does not work, I'm gonna go with ubuntu 12.04 | 14:03 |
cfhowlett | Viral, it'll be in your screensaver settings ... | 14:03 |
jeetpei | avrelaun: yes you can try CTRL+ALT+T will open terminal for you and try update upgrade : another thing i wanna say : have you tried Unity restart or gdm restart : hope it will help | 14:04 |
hubahuba | Kurdistan: like https://wiki.ubuntu.com/X/Troubleshooting/VideoDriverDetection?action=show&redirect=X%2FTroubleshooting%2FFglrxInteferesWithRadeonDriver#Problem:_Need_to_purge_-fglrx - allthough this might make X unusable, so you might have to reinstall or fix from the cmdline | 14:04 |
avrelaun | jeetpei: will try both. if nothing will try 12.04, and of nothing 13.04 ! | 14:05 |

cfhowlett | Viral, as I'm on xubuntu, I can't exactly explain where your screensaver settings are ... perhaps someone will volunteer the intel??? | 14:08 |
hubahuba | Kurdistan: sounds like a driver problem to me | 14:09 |
Kurdistan | hubahuba, he uses the radeon (opensource one) | 14:09 |
Kurdistan | hubahuba, no other alternative on jockey-gtk | 14:09 |
hubahuba | which always have had some bugs. I've seen plenty :-) | 14:10 |

flcl | dward: what does updatedb do? (just typed it... taking time) | 14:27 |
dward | flcl it updates a db of all the files in your filesystem jsut like running find / but it stores that info for quick lookup | 14:28 |
n8w| | just crosscheckin, assume(hda=hda1,hda2hda3)if i do: dd if=/dev/hda of=/home/hda.img, this will backup the whole drive right? | 14:28 |

gyre007 | how do I tell which package installed certain binary ? | 14:39 |
janisozaur | !apt-file | gyre007 | 14:40 |
ubottu | gyre007: apt-file is a program that can tell you which package(s) contain(s) a given filename. To install it and generate the database it needs, run "sudo apt-get install apt-file && sudo apt-file update" | 14:40 |
TakeItEZ | gyre007: if it is already installed: dpkg -S filename | 14:40 |
janisozaur | gyre007, i *think* it can also do reverse searches | 14:40 |
bean | also, dpkg -S /path/to/file | 14:40 |
gyre007 | janisozaur: this was a bit of a pain because it was actually link which was pointing to another link and that was pointing to a binary on which I could run dpkg -S :) | 14:42 |

janisozaur | zorgborg, you can try pasting some part of syslog | 14:49 |
gyre007 | basically the gist above shows that apt-listchanges depends on exim4 but when apt-listchanges is installed exim is NOT even though its listed as dependency | 14:49 |
gyre007 | mm | 14:49 |
gyre007 | anyone came across that ? | 14:50 |
TakeItEZ | gyre007: apt-listchanges suggests any MTA or exim4 | 14:50 |
gyre007 | TakeItEZ: what does that mean ? | 14:51 |
theadmin | gyre007: Use "apt-cache show". It provides better-looking information, wherein: Recommends: exim4 | mail-transport-agent | 14:51 |
TakeItEZ | gyre007: it doesn't DEPEND on a mail-transport-agent, it just suggests to install one, preferably exim4 | 14:51 |
chalcedony | my husband seems to have lost his weather indicator from the right bottom of his GLX-Cairo-Dock, - Where can I ask about it? | 14:51 |

gyre007 | but strange thing is that apt-listchanges DID install exim on ALL but 2 servers in our infrastructure... | 14:52 |
TakeItEZ | gyre007: "apt-cache depends apt-listchanges" | 14:52 |
gyre007 | and that's why I came here to ask why... | 14:52 |
gyre007 | mm | 14:53 |
theadmin | gyre007: Meaning that on all but those 2 servers you had apt's install-recommends feature ON. | 14:53 |
TakeItEZ | gyre007: so 2 servers are not configured to install recommends/suggests | 14:53 |
AtuM | i suspected it would cleanly shutdown/suspend the guest.. now I think it just kills the process | 14:53 |
zorgborg | janisozaur: http://paste.ubuntu.com/5567807/ syslog says the same thing about it | 14:53 |
TakeItEZ | gyre007: man apt-get (--no-install-recommends) | 14:53 |
janisozaur | zorgborg, it doesn't appear to be usb msc | 14:54 |
gyre007 | is there a config file for that ? strange because all those servers have been built from the same image :-) | 14:55 |
TakeItEZ | gyre007: /etc/apt/apt.conf.d | 14:55 |

gyre007 | basically its displaying changelog and immediately calling LESS command | 15:43 |

Folorn | thanks guys | 16:32 |
Espen_ | what is the diference between a analog profile and a digital profile, in terms of sound settings in Ubuntu? A person asked me which of those two i use, in a bug report..... | 16:33 |
Folorn | didn't know it had its own channel....you all been a huge help | 16:33 |
Pwnguin1 | I'm in the process of reading on links. sorry my english is not best | 16:33 |
carnafx | jamesgcd, is there a way I can set it so that I can select which HARDDRIVE to boot without using a boot loader? | 16:33 |
holstein | carnafx: i have used the bios for that | 16:33 |
jamesgcd | carnafx: I don't think so. You need to use a bootloader of some sort along the way, unless you mean something else, as in making the computer use the bootloader on a different drive entirely than the default | 16:34 |
carnafx | I can press F8 to select which harddrive to boot from but without the other harddrive plugged in it won't boot because it's reliant on the Grub boot loader | 16:34 |
holstein | carnafx: remove that "reliance" from grub | 16:34 |
Folorn | hehe | 16:34 |
jamesgcd | carnafx: you could install the grub bootloader on the drive it loads by default | 16:35 |
BluesKaj | carnafx, you need a bootloader in order to select between OSs | 16:35 |
Folorn | hmmm | 16:35 |
holstein | carnafx: i used to put grub on each drive, or sd card, or usb stick, and just select from the bios | 16:35 |
carnafx | I thought I could just set it to boot from a HDD like how you set it to boot from the CD-ROM first? | 16:35 |
Espen_ | Need help with a bug report, not sure if guy replying knows what i am asking about. | 16:35 |
Espen_ | https://bugs.launchpad.net/ubuntu/+source/pulseaudio/+bug/1132396 | 16:35 |
ubottu | Ubuntu bug 1132396 in pulseaudio (Ubuntu) "[HDA-Intel - HDA Intel, playback] volume slider problem, volume reset to 100% on s/pdif devices after changing default playback." [Undecided,New] | 16:35 |
onefix_work | Anyone know if there are any projects taking over for ZoneMinder / Motion? It seems that both projects are inactive now... | 16:35 |
holstein | carnafx: you can, but you'll need something to boot when you select that drive | 16:36 |
Pwnguin1 | Can an ubuntu collaborate with a HTC phone? I mean like combine together, communicate like send pics or whatever? does it work? | 16:36 |
carnafx | so if I fix the mbr on the windows 7 HDD it should work then? | 16:36 |
jamesgcd | carnafx: To help explain this, theres two bits to grub. The Master Boot Loader, which is a few bytes on the media you wont be able to view as a normal file, and the /boot partition (although it could just be a /boot folder on your root drive). You need *BOTH* of these to work in tandem, and nom using the windows bootloader wont work to boot up grub | 16:37 |
mdh | carnafx: startup repair might be able to fix this easily | 16:37 |
aranax | Hi! I want to change the default file manager on firefox, I dont want to use nautilus, where I have to change the config? | 16:37 |
holstein | Pwnguin1: nothing in ubuntu is preventing the phone from connect via USB and showing up as a drive.. you might want webshare, or airdroid (assuming you are using android) | 16:37 |
carnafx | I understand that part | 16:37 |
carnafx | but I want each HDD to be stand alone | 16:37 |
jamesgcd | carnafx: If you repair your computer with the windows bootloader, it'll only boot windows. If you repair/install it with the grub bootloader, it could load windows and linux | 16:37 |
Pwnguin1 | Yes, then there are not so much problem thank you | 16:37 |
carnafx | so I can choose to boot from each HDD manually | 16:37 |
BluesKaj | carnafx, yes if you have only one OS you can set the bootloader to choose it without a timeout , but if you have more than one OS , you need to set the bootloader to have oprional choices | 16:37 |
carnafx | is that possible? | 16:38 |
holstein | carnafx: i have done this using the bios.. with windows bootloaders, or grub per drive | 16:38 |
holstein | carnafx: yes.. ^^ | 16:38 |
carnafx | ok sorry but how would I go about doing that? | 16:38 |
carnafx | cause I can press f8 and it lets me choose what media to boot from | 16:38 |
BluesKaj | even with stand alone HDDs you still need a bootloader , carnafx\ | 16:39 |
holstein | carnafx: you'll need to decide what you want on each drive, and "clean them up"... put MBR per drive, or whatever.. and keep in mind what can break when, and how to fix it | 16:39 |
carnafx | hmm | 16:39 |
jamesgcd | carnafx: Im having trouble telling what youre asking for :/. When you press f8 its asking for media, this media will have its own bootloader and thats how it boots an O.S off of it. You can't not use a bootloader entirely :p | 16:40 |
carnafx | I'm thinking virtual machines would be easier lol | 16:40 |
holstein | carnafx: or, just grub, and know how to "Fix" it, if something happens | 16:40 |
BluesKaj | carnafx, other wise you'll have to go into the bios at each boot to choose which drive is default at at boot | 16:40 |
carnafx | but even when I select a different harddrive it defaults back to the boot loader | 16:40 |
carnafx | :/ | 16:40 |
carnafx | oh I can't just choose a HDD | 16:40 |
holstein | carnafx: "it" didnt for me.. it booted what i had on the drive i chose | 16:41 |
Dizzle | carnafx you can in your bios | 16:41 |
carnafx | I have to go into the BIOS and tell it which harddrive has the boot sector? | 16:41 |
holstein | carnafx: i *did* choose a drive, from the bios.. then, it booted whatever was on that drive | 16:41 |
yosvany | Does anyone know how to add a personalized app to the unity launcher? | 16:41 |

carnafx | Press F8 / Select HDD / If I select HDD1 it will boot Windows 7 / If I select HDD2 it will boot Ubuntu | 16:44 |
carnafx | no need for a boot menu | 16:45 |
Dizzle | carnafx um so you want to do more work to boot your os? | 16:45 |
holstein | carnafx: you'll want grub there on hdd2 | 16:45 |
Dizzle | instead of grub comming up and just picking what os to boot | 16:45 |
carnafx | I want to be able to manual select HDD | 16:45 |
jamesgcd | carnafx: just to be sure, when it says hdd1 and hdd2 thats definitely different harddrives and not just different partitions, right? | 16:45 |
I-have-T1NYP3N15 | im expert | 16:45 |
carnafx | yeah I'm not that retarded lol | 16:46 |
carnafx | I have a docking bay | 16:46 |
carnafx | it's a laptop HDD with Ubuntu on it | 16:46 |
BluesKaj | carnafx, that's what the booloader/grub let's you do , it just shows the kernels and OSs rather than the HDDs they are located on | 16:47 |
holstein | I-have-T1NYP3N15: you can run /motd and scroll up to read the message | 16:48 |
carnafx | yeah but I'd like to be able to boot like how if you insert a CD/DVD-ROM it boots from there instead | 16:48 |
BluesKaj | i give up | 16:48 |
I-have-T1NYP3N15 | ok i know see | 16:48 |
carnafx | like when you insert an A: disk | 16:48 |
carnafx | 1.44 | 16:48 |
carnafx | and boot from that | 16:48 |
I-have-T1NYP3N15 | i mean i now see | 16:48 |
holstein | carnafx: the cd has a bootloader.. you'll want, as i had, a bootloader per/disk.. then you select that disk from the bios and boot it | 16:48 |
carnafx | YES | 16:48 |
carnafx | that's what I want to do | 16:48 |
carnafx | but I don't want a boot loader menu | 16:48 |

jamesgcd | carnafx: its possible to remove the menu but keep the ability to change the OS running by making the menu invisible and have it only appear if you push a button at the right time if thats what you mean | 16:50 |
carnafx | ok this is the step by step | 16:50 |
carnafx | 1. BIOS Boots (Press F8 to choose media to boot from) | 16:51 |
BluesKaj | he wants plug n play when docking the laptop | 16:51 |
carnafx | 2. Press F8 | 16:51 |
carnafx | 3. Select HDD1 >> Windows MBR >> Loads Windows | 16:51 |
holstein | carnafx: i just put grub per device.. and had that functionality, as you want.. selecting the drives from the bios popup | 16:51 |
carnafx | 4. Select HDD2 (Instead) >> GRUB >> Loads Ubuntu | 16:52 |
carnafx | instead | 16:52 |
SonikkuAmerica | Hi! Forgive 117 lines of pastebin but I think my issue is self-evident: http://paste.ubuntu.com/5568098/ | 16:52 |
carnafx | when I select HDD1 atm it loads the grub boot loader | 16:52 |
holstein | carnafx: correct.. thats how it looks.. but, you can run into issues when you update grub, and it wants to add a drive that might not be present all the time.. so you should understand what can break, and how, and how to "fix" it | 16:52 |
holstein | carnafx: yes.. thats how it worked for me.. i selected them from bios, and booted them.. it was not trivial, and took more overhead to administer than i cared to do | 16:53 |
SonikkuAmerica | In that link above lines 59-75 are the most important. | 16:53 |
carnafx | yeah problem is because I had Windows 7 installed first and I install Ubuntu on a COMPLETELY DIFFERENT HDD. it has wiped the MBR (I think) and replaced it with GRUB | 16:53 |
carnafx | instead of having GRUB on the Ubuntu HDD | 16:53 |
SonikkuAmerica | But seriously, Wine wants to throw out Precise's X server?! | 16:53 |
Dizzle | grub can boot that windows drive too... | 16:54 |
MongolianDude | Hello all, I'm broke my Unity. how to install it? | 16:54 |
holstein | carnafx: thats not a "problem" thats the functionality of the bootloader you chose to install during the os installation | 16:54 |
kikilalala | flash and ubuntu just don't mix | 16:54 |
carnafx | I don't like it like that | 16:54 |
SonikkuAmerica | MongolianDude: [ sudo apt-get install --reinstall unity* | 16:54 |
SonikkuAmerica | ] | 16:54 |
holstein | carnafx: i used to not install then, and manually installed and configured each time | 16:54 |
MongolianDude | ok let's try | 16:54 |
BluesKaj | carnafx, grub installs to the mbr sector by default | 16:54 |
elisa87 | do you know what does this mean ? "now, via GDB attach to the process." | 16:54 |
carnafx | because the Ubuntu drive is meant to be temoporary. If I take out the Ubuntu drive nothing boots | 16:54 |
Dizzle | AH | 16:55 |
holstein | carnafx: you might not like it, and dont have to do it that way.. but its what 99.8% of default users will want/need | 16:55 |
holstein | carnafx: manually put grub where you want it | 16:55 |

glenn_ | Why To use /dev/sdc | 17:44 |
llutz | glenn_: it makes no sense | 17:44 |
BluesKaj | llutz, well there are recovery partitions on windows etc that might be using /dev/sdc1.2,3 | 17:45 |

stepcellwolf | no | 17:49 |
BluesKaj | ok llutz I see your point I forgot that Windows always looks to install on /dev/sda | 17:49 |
dsprc | stepcellwolf: do you get any output if you run 'speaker-test' from a terminal? | 17:50 |
glenn_ | Blueskaj why cant i see the mounted Windows Partion in my File explorer | 17:50 |
llutz | BluesKaj: thats not the point. the point is, that windos would NOT install into /dev/sda because that is not a partition, it would install into sdaX | 17:50 |
stepcellwolf | no sound at all, I will try soon a live ubuntu usb to see if this will work | 17:51 |
kalenjohnson | llutz, you mean sda#? like sda1, sda2, etc? | 17:52 |
llutz | kalenjohnson: yes | 17:52 |
BluesKaj | llutz, yes , but initially it looks for /dev/sda to create , sda1 | 17:52 |

llutz | whatever, windows will not install onto a drive (without dirty hacks), it always will use partitions (whatever numbering). And thus it makes no sense to try to "mount /dev/sdb " to look for windows files BluesKaj | 17:54 |
BluesKaj | ok formatting a drive would create dev/sda1 ... I'm a bit rusty since I havent dealt with a windows partition for a while | 17:54 |

goose | dsprc: it's an anonymouse http proxy. I can add "http_proxy = http://domain:port/" to my ~/.wgetrc, but if there's a way to add that as a command line argument I'd rather do that | 20:00 |

baumy | regarding the problem I posted above, I inadvertently solved it. Uncommenting GRUB_TERMINAL=console in my grub.cfg stopped the artifacts from appearing. can anybody explain to me what was actually happening? | 20:14 |
tgm4883 | FLeiXiuS, I suppose so, I'd hope there was raw data somewhere | 20:14 |
theadmin | ykorkmaz: As I said, on Windows, use Win32 Image Writer. | 20:14 |
theadmin | ykorkmaz: There's a Windows port of dd but that's quite confusing in terms of usage | 20:15 |

ClientAlive | I need to download multiple youtube videos and don't want to do them one at a time with keepvid. Does anyone know of a tool for linux that can do this? The problem is, the links on the search page have to be followed before you get to the actual video. So it would have to follow the links one level down then download that level. | 20:17 |
BrianBlaze | I was wondering if anyone has this problem with Ubuntu 12.10, I can skype but can't watch videos or watch videos and not skype | 20:17 |
ClientAlive | any ideas? | 20:17 |
ykorkmaz | my company starts a trial about a mobile customer experience project | 20:17 |
LoneTrooper | theadmin thx for response i will try your suggestions | 20:17 |

ClientAlive | theadmin: I have that and have been trying everything I can think of to get it to follow the link to the next level down. Do you know how to make it do that? | 20:19 |
theadmin | ClientAlive: I'm not 100% sure. Just thought it did that, might be confusing it with something else. | 20:19 |
ClientAlive | theadmin: oh, ok | 20:19 |
ClientAlive | there are web scrapers for linux out there (a lot of them) but which is a good choice that will do what I need??? | 20:20 |
ClientAlive | idk... | 20:20 |
tawnee | So I think I'm going to shuffle some partitions around and reinstall this proper. I haven't really used ubuntu since Hardy Heron -- I'm a bit taken back by how nice this is. | 20:20 |
theadmin | ClientAlive: Hm, technically, httrack can do recursive web downloading (webhttrack is the GUI version), but I'm not quite sure if it will deal with Youtube. | 20:21 |
lucezu | ClientAlive: I would recommend writing a simple script that gets your links to a file (i.e with Python + BeautifulSoup/lxml) and then use that file with quvi/cclive. | 20:21 |
ClientAlive | ok | 20:21 |

dantvli | hello! By default Ubuntu 12.04 LTS comes with Python 2.7.3. How does one upgrade this to the Version 3 (or above)? | 20:26 |
bekks | dantvli: Most likely, no. | 20:27 |
theadmin | dantvli: You don't "upgrade" python, you simply install python3 alongside with python2. | 20:27 |
dantvli | is it just a simple apt-get | 20:27 |
theadmin | dantvli: sudo apt-get install python3 | 20:27 |
dantvli | theadmin: okay. gotcha! | 20:27 |
theadmin | dantvli: Your Python 3 scripts will need to run with #!/usr/bin/python3 or #!/usr/bin/env python3, though, rather than just #!/usr/bin/python or #!/usr/bin/env python | 20:28 |

Please note that some people find it rude to be sent a PM without being asked for permission to do so first. | 20:31 |
theadmin | dantvli: Well, yeah, python2 is not compatible with python3. Currently, most distros choose to keep both. A lot of Ubuntu apps (Software Center, Unity, etc) are written in Python2. It will take ages before Python3 will truly become mainstream. | 20:31 |
jacqueshinks | 10-4 | 20:31 |
jacqueshinks | I have something istalled locally, but Iam unable to get it to run on a remote machine, | 20:31 |

SuperLag | I have the Launcher hidden by default. I see an icon shake very shortly, the bar pops out, and then it goes away again. Is there any way I can get the notification to persist until I do something with it? | 20:34 |
nOStahl | mikkel_: try the ip address of the server otherwise ask your administrator | 20:34 |
jacqueshinks | Mikkel, if you know its ip, type in nslookup, then the serer ip, | 20:34 |
dantvli | theadmin: well, okay. but as a matter of opinion (yours) which is better? to learn python 2 or python 3 as a beginner? | 20:34 |
nOStahl | tute: ah, i'd still try #ubuntu-tablet they have experience with using the hardware syncing with ubuntu desktop etc | 20:34 |
escott | dantvli, learn 3 | 20:34 |
theadmin | dantvli: As a beginner, probably Py3. It's much more logical and obvious. | 20:35 |
mikkel_ | i tried a tool to look up the IP when i was at university network, this IP wil not work however :s | 20:35 |
jacqueshinks | bekks, tried that, | 20:35 |
jacqueshinks | still failed | 20:35 |
escott | dantvli, and thats not about ease of learning but rather that 3 is the stated direction of the language | 20:35 |
dantvli | escott, theadmin: agreed. | 20:35 |
tgm4883 | mikkel_, do you have the server in your possession? | 20:35 |
Orcie | :) | 20:35 |
nOStahl | mikkel_: you'll need a public ip to remote in or vpn and then use that private ip your probably talking about | 20:35 |
bekks | jacqueshinks: according to the man page, "ssh user@host command" works. The command must be a valid command for execution by user@host | 20:36 |
Orcie | Can someone help me with a nginx problem? | 20:36 |
nOStahl | Orcie: try #nginx channel | 20:36 |
jacqueshinks | the command works fine locally, just fail on ssh to another machine. | 20:36 |
escott | jacqueshinks, is /usr/bin/command on the local machine not the serveR? | 20:36 |
SuperLag | dantvli: escott: theadmin:there's a LOT of debate about that py2 vs py3 question.... I opted to start with learning 3, as well, for the same reasons escott mentioned | 20:36 |
jacqueshinks | Ive been through about 12 different versions of this. | 20:36 |
jacqueshinks | yes its local | 20:36 |
mikkel_ | i dont have server in possesion. Nostahl im sure it is the external IP | 20:36 |
nOStahl | mikkel_: what kind of server is it | 20:36 |
elisa87 | how can I find the process ID of ./vecadd.o (an application)? | 20:36 |
jacqueshinks | but for some reason it thinks its supposed to find it on the server | 20:37 |
Orcie | nOStahl: they send me here :) | 20:37 |
mikkel_ | ubuntu 12.10 server | 20:37 |
escott | jacqueshinks, it would seem to be obvious why that wouldn't work. ssh opens a remote shell and runs programs in the remote shell | 20:37 |
theadmin | elisa87: pidof ./vecadd.o | 20:37 |
tgm4883 | mikkel_, if you can't do "ssh <SERVER IP>" then there is nothing we'll be able to do to help you | 20:37 |
nOStahl | Orcie: go back and tell them I sent you there, thats where nginx specific help is suppose to be located lol | 20:37 |
mikkel_ | you are right, i should probably talk to the administrator | 20:37 |
escott | jacqueshinks, its like you are telling your neighbor to make eggs with your eggs and your frying pan in their kitchen | 20:37 |
mikkel_ | thanks! | 20:37 |
Orcie | nOStahl: it has to with a distro integration problemn | 20:37 |
nOStahl | mikkel_: np | 20:37 |
jacqueshinks | it is, yes | 20:37 |

jacqueshinks | But Ineed to run the processes that are on my system | 20:38 |
jacqueshinks | I have a zero carb rock star here | 20:38 |
escott | jacqueshinks, then run them locally. ssh doesn't have anything to do with that | 20:38 |
bekks | jacqueshinks: Which is impossible. The have to exist on the remote system. | 20:38 |
dantvli | theadmin: right, just installed Python3.2. Entered the command python -V; its version is still 2.7.3. How do I make it to use the latest version? | 20:39 |
tgm4883 | dantvli, 'python3 -V' | 20:39 |
zAo^ | dantvli: or python3.3 ;) | 20:39 |
theadmin | dantvli: "python3" is the command for Python 3. | 20:40 |
dantvli | tgm4883: so, to compile .py scripts, it'll always be python3 filename.py ? | 20:40 |
theadmin | dantvli: Yes. | 20:40 |
tgm4883 | dantvli, yes, unless you want to change the symlink | 20:40 |
theadmin | tgm4883: Don't do that unless you want half of apps to break to heck | 20:40 |
escott | dantvli, compile isn't the right term. but yes. you should set the shebang to python3 for scripts you write | 20:40 |

ubottu | If you use Netflix, there is an unofficial solution for using it in Ubuntu detailed in http://www.compholio.com/netflix-desktop/ - bug reports in https://bugs.launchpad.net/netflix-desktop | 21:15 |
antz | oh ok | 21:15 |
holstein | pawleeq: this is a good start https://help.ubuntu.com/community/Repositories/Ubuntu#Removing_.26_Disabling_Repositories | 21:16 |
pawleeq | holstein, thanks, I need Java for online-banking and Oracle is what the bank recommends... wel I do not care, which package servers the purpose | 21:17 |
bean__ | that sounds terrifying, pawleeq | 21:17 |
bean__ | do they not know that java is absolutely terrifying as a web plugin? | 21:18 |
holstein | pawleeq: chck and make sure its not just disabled in the browser then.. though, disabling in the browser has been considered "good practice" recently and might have been done automatically | 21:18 |
avrelaun | indeed, all plugins are horrible from a security point of view | 21:18 |
avrelaun | Mozilla will disable all plugins by default in the near future | 21:18 |
pawleeq | bean, well, thay are bank(st)ers... | 21:19 |
avrelaun | that pretty much self explanatory | 21:19 |
bilou23 | I have deleted myself from all groups by mistake but now I have been able to use a live cd and mount. What should I do then? | 21:19 |
pawleeq | holstein, ok, thanks | 21:19 |
holstein | pawleeq: http://javatester.org/ should tell you if your browser is using java, and you can search how to enable it.. and i would just go back and disable right after, or run a separate browser for banking | 21:20 |
holstein | bilou23: you can go in with the recovery console as root and add yourself back | 21:20 |
antz | where do you get binary for ubuntu? | 21:21 |
bilou23 | holstein: it s not possible with live cd? I ve just did the whole setup and ready to start | 21:21 |
holstein | bilou23: the way i would do it is from the root recovery console. not sure how to edit permissions like that from a live CD.. maybe chroot in, but thats over my head | 21:22 |
holstein | !chroot | 21:22 |
ubottu | A chroot is used to make programs believe that the directory they are running in is really the root directory. It can be used to stop programs accessing files outside of that directory, or for compiling 32bit applications in a 64bit environment - see https://help.ubuntu.com/community/BasicChroot | 21:22 |
holstein | !adduser | 21:23 |
ubottu | To add new users to your Ubuntu system, follow the instructions at https://help.ubuntu.com/community/AddUsersHowto - For administrative privileges, users need to be made members of the group "admin" - See !sudo | 21:23 |
antz | !putty | 21:23 |
ubottu | PuTTY is an !SSH client for Windows. Please see: http://www.chiark.greenend.org.uk/~sgtatham/putty/ for it's homepage and downloads. See also !scp (Secure CoPy) | 21:23 |
bilou23 | holstein: is this http://www.psychocats.net/ubuntu/fixsudo what you mean by recovery way? | 21:24 |
cobra | Sidebar Auto Hide when app pushes it not working on ubuntu 12.10 | 21:24 |
holstein | bilou23: thats the idea... you can add whatever user to whatever group as root from that recovery prompt | 21:26 |

arjansmeets | hello there. I'm having troubles with logging in via ssh. I was hoping someone here could help me out since I can't find the answers on Google :( | 21:35 |

LargePrime | what is you r client os? arjansmeets | 21:36 |
arjansmeets | Windows7 x64 | 21:36 |
LargePrime | arjansmeets: youhve putty? | 21:36 |
arjansmeets | <LargePrime> Yes :) | 21:36 |
LargePrime | arjansmeets: you have created public private key and saved them clearly labeled? | 21:37 |
LargePrime | you have passphrase on the private? | 21:37 |
arjansmeets | erm, how do you mean? I do not work with keys atm, just with user / password | 21:38 |
bekks | arjansmeets: Did you install the ssh server on Ubuntu? | 21:38 |
LargePrime | then you not have ssh | 21:38 |
bekks | LargePrime: Thats not true. | 21:38 |
bekks | LargePrime: Of course you can use ssh without public key authentication. You even have to, before being able to set it up. | 21:39 |
arjansmeets | Hm wait I was confused, I do have a public key. This is the screen that pops up after the first time of connecting right? | 21:40 |
bekks | arjansmeets: No. :) | 21:40 |
arjansmeets | Sigh | 21:40 |
bekks | arjansmeets: However, your key doesnt matter at the moment. What happens when trying to connect using ssh using putty to the IP of your Ubuntu? | 21:40 |
arjansmeets | It asks me for my username and password | 21:41 |
=== evilchiyo is now known as away | ||
bekks | arjansmeets: And? | 21:41 |
arjansmeets | After that it says Acces Denied | 21:41 |
bekks | arjansmeets: Which user do you use? | 21:41 |
_genuser_ | then you don't have the password | 21:41 |
arjansmeets | And I'm 100% sure that the password is correct | 21:41 |
arjansmeets | admin user | 21:41 |
bekks | arjansmeets: Whats the user name? | 21:41 |
arjansmeets | admin | 21:41 |
bekks | arjansmeets: Then your password is either wrong or not set. | 21:42 |
arjansmeets | bekks: how can I verify that? | 21:43 |
solancer | arjansmeets, have you tried connecting from windows to ubuntu ? | 21:43 |
bekks | arjansmeets: By logging in locally on that computer, e.g. | 21:43 |
bekks | solancer: Thats what he's doing. | 21:43 |
arjansmeets | bekks: I did | 21:43 |
arjansmeets | bekks: and that worked | 21:44 |
bekks | arjansmeets: Then log in locally and check the configuration of sshd wether only public key auth is allowed or not. | 21:45 |
arjansmeets | bekks: I'll try tat | 21:45 |
arjansmeets | that | 21:45 |
JokesOnYou77 | Hi all, is there documentation for /var/log/ and what logs are supposed to go where (to which file)? | 21:45 |
solancer | arjansmeets, check ur firewall settings | 21:46 |
LargePrime | ubuntu server 12.10 on a dedicated server via ssh working . I want to install Simple machine forums, but can find no good guide. Thoughts? | 21:47 |
arjansmeets | solancer: If it were my firewall settings I wouldn't get a connection at all right? | 21:47 |
solancer | arjansmeets, why not ? | 21:47 |
arjansmeets | solancer: I just thought so | 21:48 |
solancer | arjansmeets, have a read of this simple guide and see if it helps http://www.liberiangeek.net/2010/03/how-to-access-ubuntu-systems-via-ssh-from-windows/ | 21:48 |

dwatkins | My x86_64 Ubuntu 12.10 PC reboots itself sometimes when converting video and saving to my NAS via NFS, is there a known bug relating to this? I found Bug #561210 but it's only vaguely similar. | 22:11 |

kalenjohnson | dwatkins, converting video is pretty CPU intensive, have you checked the temps? | 22:12 |
Pressure | dwatkins: what are u using to convert | 22:13 |
dwatkins | kalenjohnson: yeah, the reboots happen when the average CPU temp is about 71 degrees centigrade, which is no higher than at other times it's been ok | 22:13 |
Pressure | i know certain versions of FFMPEG have a bug | 22:13 |
dwatkins | Pressure: HandBrakeCLI | 22:13 |

dwatkins | Pressure: yeah, I think it uses ffmpeg | 22:13 |
Pressure | not sure | 22:13 |
Pressure | ok | 22:13 |
Pressure | just make sure it uses latest version | 22:13 |
Pressure | but then again that one could be messed up | 22:14 |
dwatkins | I'm surprised a user-space application can cause the system to reboot, hence my thinking it was a network cache issue as in that bug, but I set the sysctl tuneables as someone suggested, and it reduced the frequency of the resets, but didn't remove them completely | 22:14 |
Pressure | basicly try another version of it | 22:14 |

Pressure | or see | 22:14 |

xibalba | janisoza1r, got another Q for ya | 23:10 |
xibalba | janisoza1r, how can i paste text into /etc/resolv.conf that way? | 23:10 |
xibalba | cat /tmp/foo | ssh $i "cat /etc/resolv.conf" ? | 23:11 |
janisoza1r | xibalba: use 'tee' or 'cat' | 23:11 |
joanbarros | Hello, when I logged into my ubuntu machine today I couldn't move the usb mouse and keyboard that were attached to it (working yesterday). After that I noticed that I couldn't use the touchpad also (yes, it's al laptop), the wireless network card does not work, and when I hit CTRL + ALT + F1-6, the terminal does not show up. What could this be? Thanks in advance... | 23:11 |
xibalba | janisoza1r, anyway i can put a list of instructions into a text file and have ssh execute them all? | 23:11 |
janisoza1r | xibalba: for i in host1 host2 host3 ; do cat /tmp/foo ssh $i "cat >> /etc/resolv.conf" ; done | 23:11 |
xibalba | like a batch file | 23:11 |
xibalba | janisoza1r, i need to update resolv.conf and update all the boxes | 23:11 |
janisoza1r | xibalba: yes, that should be possible. or you could just copy the file (using cat like specified above) and then execute it | 23:12 |
xibalba | i think i'll just " do ssh [job1] ; ssh [job2] | 23:12 |
xibalba | not as clean but hwatever | 23:13 |
root_ | does ubuntu have a user logon screen | 23:13 |

Frennie | Hi, I'd like to copy my persistence file from one live USB to another, and I know the persistence file is stored in casper (? http://shallowsky.com/blog/linux/install/ubuntu-persistent-live-cd.html), but where exactly do I need to copy the persistence file from, which I assume would contain my personal settings, programs, and documents... | 23:13 |
janisoza1r | xibalba: you can read 'man xargs' for that | 23:13 |
janisoza1r | xibalba: for ... ; do cat /tmp/foo | xargs ssh $i ; done | 23:14 |
xibalba | ah right, xargs an old friend | 23:14 |
janisoza1r | xibalba: but you have to make sure that you specify \n as delimiter. perhaps use 'tr' for swapping \n -> \0 ? | 23:14 |

xibalba | janisoza1r, perfect. working thank you sir | 23:15 |
janisoza1r | xibalba: welcome | 23:16 |
xibalba | ended up with, for i in 192.168.0.104 192.168.0.103 192.168.0.102 192.168.0.105 192.168.0.100; do ssh cat /tmp/resolv.conf | ssh $i "cat > /etc/resolv.conf" ;ssh $i "apt-get update; apt-get -y upgrade; apt-get -y dist-upgrade" ; done | 23:16 |
xibalba | had to make some keys first | 23:16 |

Frennie | Any thoughts?

xibalba | janisoza1r, just stamped these boxes out from a vmware template. they're brand new | 23:18 |
janisoza1r | xibalba: ssh will not exit until apt-get is done, you might want to put '&' somewhere there or use 'daemon'? | 23:18 |
xibalba | janisoza1r, i'm comfortable with waiting. just didn't want to have to be so reptitive | 23:18 |
xibalba | they're in a datacenter, so if the mirror is fast shouldn't be too long | 23:19 |
xibalba | although lately some mirrors have been slow as snot | 23:19 |
xibalba | might want to run a local mirror for my data center | 23:19 |
janisoza1r | xibalba: or just copy /var/cache/apt/archive between machines? | 23:20 |
xibalba | never knew about that | 23:20 |
xibalba | use to copying /usr/ports/distfiles =P | 23:20 |

Frennie | Any thoughts? I'd like to copy my persistence file from one live USB to another, and I believe the persistence file is stored in something called casper, but where exactly do I need to copy the persistence file from? | 23:22 |
DeliriumTremens | how can i add a new user to an existing group with no password all in one command? | 23:22 |
Frennie | Is it a partition? Or just the folder? | 23:22 |
DeliriumTremens | when i do adduser --ingroup group it doesnt show up in /etc/group | 23:22 |
DeliriumTremens | that the user is in that group | 23:22 |
janisoza1r | Frennie: the largest file in root directory of your pendrive | 23:22 |
=== linuxthefish is now known as linuxthefish` | ||
=== simon____ is now known as quaisi | ||
Frennie | janisozalr Thanks!! | 23:25 |
janisoza1r | Frennie: it is "partition" (actually a filesystem), but stored inside of a file | 23:25 |
janisoza1r | !tab | Frennie | 23:25 |
ubottu | Frennie: You can use your <tab> key for autocompletion of nicknames in IRC, as well as for completion of filenames and programs on the command line. | 23:25 |
Espen_ | Do any of you have problems with volume settings getting reset on s/pdif output devices? I find it strange that i haven't found anyone with similar issues across several soundcards. | 23:25 |
Espen_ | http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=H7dBJkviD4Y&feature=youtu.be&t=00m15s | 23:25 |
DeliriumTremens | or i guess i should ask, why when i use 'adduser <user> --ingroup <group>' does it not show up in /etc/group | 23:26 |
Changa | where is this .gnome2 folder I read about :/ I cannot find it | 23:26 |
Frennie | janisoza1r: So can I access this file by booting into Ubuntu from a harddrive, then going into the USB's folder, and copying that largest file? Will that work since it's a partition? Will it be accessible? | 23:27 |
Changa | "Put FTP.gedit-plugin and FTP.py inside .gnome2/gedit/plugins/ under your home directory." how can I find that destination | 23:27 |
aeon-ltd | Changa: have you shown hidden files? | 23:28 |
Changa | thats what I need | 23:28 |
Changa | lemme google it | 23:28 |
mgolisch | DeliriumTremens: ingroup changes the primary group, the one listed in the passwd file | 23:28 |
Changa | thanks aeon-ltd | 23:28 |
Frennie | janisoza1r: So can I access this persistence file by booting into Ubuntu from a harddrive, then going into the USB's folder, and copying that largest file? Will that work since it's a partition? Will it be accessible? | 23:29 |
janisoza1r | Frennie: i don't know for sure, but i would do it like this: let's call 'A' a golden pendrive and 'B' a clone. prepare A, boot, do what you have to. prepare B the same, don't boot, simply copy over the casper file from A to B (do *not* use A or B to do that) | 23:29 |
janisoza1r | !patience | Frennie | 23:29 |
ubottu | Frennie: Don't feel ignored and repeat your question quickly; if nobody knows your answer, nobody will answer you. While you wait, try searching https://help.ubuntu.com or http://ubuntuforums.org or http://askubuntu.com/ | 23:29 |
Frennie | Hehe gotcha :) | 23:29 |
DeliriumTremens | the user has the group ID in passwd, weird | 23:29 |
janisoza1r | Changa: if using nautilus, you can press ctrl-l and just specify location | 23:30 |
Changa | I just went to preferences and enabled the hidden files | 23:30 |
janisoza1r | Changa: ctrl-h shows hidden | 23:30 |
Changa | option | 23:30 |
Changa | yeah but I still cant find gnome2 dir | 23:30 |
Frennie | janisoza1r: Forgive me if this is a stupid question, but what exactly do you mean by prepare? | 23:30 |
mgolisch | DeliriumTremens: thats not weird, it does exactly what this options description says, it makes the group the users primary group | 23:30 |
Changa | its in file system right? | 23:30 |
xibalba | oh this isn't good | 23:31 |

janisoza1r | Frennie: like usb-creator-gtk | 23:31 |
k1l | xibalba: apt-get update? | 23:31 |
xibalba | trying it now | 23:31 |
DeliriumTremens | mgolisch: i see, well as long as its adding to the group i'm cool with it | 23:32 |
DeliriumTremens | hah | 23:32 |
DeliriumTremens | thanks for the clarification! | 23:32 |
xibalba | seems to have done it | 23:32 |
xibalba | history | 23:33 |
Frennie | janisoza1r: Ah! OK, so A is the one which has the persistence file I want to coppy over, but you DON'T recommend booting into Ubuntu loaded on A to copy the file from B, say, onto the mounted harddrive of the computer? | 23:33 |
janisoza1r | Frennie: correct | 23:34 |
Frennie | janisoza1r: Why not? How can I do this otherwise? | 23:35 |
janisoza1r | Frennie: the file is in use when you use the system on pendrive | 23:36 |
=== c_smith is now known as c_smith_away | ||
Frennie | janisoza1r: Oh, that's right! Thanks! | 23:37 |
janisoza1r | Frennie: the kind-of-hard way to do that would be: boot A, prepare golden casper, shutdown A, boot B, copy casper from A, quit, boot A, copy copied casper to B... | 23:37 |
Frennie | janisoza1r: OK, I think I'll do it the other way, then. Thanks a lot | 23:38 |
nsahoo_ | hey, does anyone know the order in which 'rm -rf' proceed in a directory? I accidentally used this on a wrong user home directory, and stopped a few seconds later. So, I am trying to determine what was deleted, or is it possible to know which directory was last deleted from? | 23:40 |
