[00:00] Ben64: correct [00:00] now its copying 4 bytes at a time [00:00] Ben64 upper case matters in this situation? [00:00] ev0lve: you're the one that said 4 [00:00] panorain: yes [00:00] Ben64: i said you are right/correct. [00:00] yea grime tools for backtrack 5r3 [00:00] panorain, it was bs=4M;sync [00:00] Aloa :) [00:01] panorain, uppercase M [00:01] Lice: do not get to close i hate lice :( [00:01] grime its still copying .iso [00:02] grime do I need to repartition again or try it? [00:02] * Lice shows fangs! [00:02] how would i make a script to log the user out? [00:02] i'm using a wm without a menu [00:02] panorain, spelling is crucial in cli................your fine but its gonna take a while [00:02] panorain: Copying 4bytes at a time will takes ages for finishing. [00:02] grime ok [00:02] if it's to a flash drive it could be bad for it === adiaswin2 is now known as adiaswin [00:02] bekks 4M is megabytes 4m is bytes? [00:02] 4m didn't work, remember? [00:03] panorain: 4M is 4 megabytes, 4m isnt defined., 4 is 4. [00:03] bekks ok i'm going to repartition and start again [00:03] don't need to partition if you're just using dd to overwrite it [00:04] panorain: You dont hace to repartition. Just cancel that command, and use 4M instead 4. [00:04] okay I've a tiny little problem that is propably easyer solved then i think. I'm trying to put 12.10 on a 2012 MBP (1 version before the retina one) now I have refi and can boot the live USB's boot buuut once I get further the screen gets black nothing happens aside from the funky ubuntu-sound. I tried adding the nouvoue thingy to the grub kernel line but didn't help either I get some output if I rmove quite and spash but still it free [00:04] Ben64, think you can help out Q17 i dont know much about that [00:04] *have === Dawn_ is now known as PrincessDaybreak [00:04] grime: whats a q17 [00:04] Ben64 a user who needs help [00:05] Q17, can you ask Ben64 he might be able to help more than me [00:05] bekks I restarted copying now with the bs=4M input string [00:05] yeah [00:06] panorain, you should be fine now [00:06] can i ask if ubuntu would detect a overclock or use stock clock? [00:06] grime 790 MB copied [00:06] panorain, now your done....it should boot no problem [00:06] ben64 looking for some kool tools - am playing around with bt 5 r3 [00:07] grime is there a way to now check the transfer to verify before rebooting? [00:07] Q17: should ask in #backtrack-linux we don't support it here [00:07] ok [00:07] thanks Ben64 === linuxthefish is now known as linuxthefish` [00:08] panorain, safely remove the drive then reinsert check the contents [00:10] grime sudo fdisk yields /dev/sdc1 boot * system Hidden HPFS/NTFS [00:11] panorain, your good.........just restart and you should get your the installer [00:11] grime I will prepare for reboot on the machine now [00:11] ntfs? [00:11] what image were you writing? [00:12] Ben64 I am writing a 12.10 .iso image [00:12] shouldn't come up as ntfs === wedgwood is now known as wedgwood_away [00:13] Congrats [00:13] oops [00:13] wrong channel [00:15] grime I am now booting into what looks like 12.10 installer Thank you [00:15] is there a site for extensions for unity? like for instance, i am looking for a lamp stack menu [00:15] Ben64 thank you also I am a noob [00:15] panorain: thats cool, we all were at some point [00:16] Ben64 I really like usb booting instead of cd this is my second .iso boot from usb [00:16] yeah usb is nice, saves on blank cds too [00:17] Ben64 I agree [00:17] panorain, welcome [00:17] grime should I tick install this 3rd party software? [00:18] panorain, yeah [00:18] hi [00:18] yo [00:18] yo [00:19] Ben64 are you always logged in? [00:19] yeah [00:19] i'll be back in a bit this place is great help [00:19] Ben64 may i ask why [00:19] why not? [00:19] panorain, go for it [00:19] has anyone here found the nautilus status bar indicating the wrong amount of free space left, on directories that are shared over samba? [00:20] Ben64 i was just curious if there was a specific reason [00:20] I'm not sure if this is specific to Ubuntu 12.10 [00:20] grime: dunno [00:20] or whether it's specific to debian (the samba file server) or whether it is a random quirk. [00:21] codephobic, sounds more like a nautilus thing.....but im not sure [00:21] grime, I've had samba shared folders connected before, from windows machines, but the status bar's never been quirky before. [00:22] I googled, but found nothing useful either. [00:22] codephobic, you running ubuntu tho right? [00:22] yoyo [00:22] Ben64, what do you think? [00:22] erktest, yo [00:23] just [00:23] grim yes, 12.10 [00:23] im [00:23] samba file server (debian squeeze), samba (cifs) client (ubuntu 12.10) [00:24] codephobic, when did it go goofy [00:24] since I got the debian server to share files with this ubuntu [00:24] Can anyone help me understand why I get drastically different results running the same benchmarks on the same computer between Ubuntu vs. Windows? This is the Windows result: http://browser.primatelabs.com/geekbench2/view/1707862 and this is the Ubuntu result: http://browser.primatelabs.com/geekbench2/view/1708338 [00:25] previously, I was running a windows 7 machine hosting the same disks, but decided I wanted something much faster and I could do what little I needed in windows in a vm. [00:25] airlynx: because their linux version sucks? [00:26] codephobic, hhmmm how did you install it [00:26] I hooked up the systems yesterday, didn't notice the non-shifting "5.3GB" in the nautilus status bar until I deleted a big file from a folder and nothing changed. [00:26] The biggest thing I can tell is that the Linux version says 1 processor, 2 cores, 4 threads, whereas the Windows version says 1 processor, 4 cores [00:27] grim, pretty standard way, installed (apt-get install ...) Samba server, samba client, cifs utils, nfs utils (wasn't sure what method to go with initially) ... [00:27] configured the samba stuff in smb.conf... [00:27] nothing unusual there, as far as I can figure. [00:27] set up auto mount in fstab [00:27] codephobic, alright so no unusual stuff....it works tho right? [00:28] yep, works pretty much as I expected [00:28] Hey where do you choose your session type on login screen with lightdm? [00:28] Can anyone suggest a better/more accurate cross-platform benchmark tool? [00:28] Hey guys, I have a 3rd party .deb installed. How can I find where the config files are? [00:29] airlynx: Better than...? [00:29] bekks: better than geekbench [00:29] maybe a little disappointing in terms of movie playback, the files felt a little more responsive when the windows machine was serving over samba. [00:29] codephobic, so the only thing is that the memory displays something else? [00:29] airlynx: I never even heard of geekbench. [00:29] bekks: do you have one you would suggest? [00:29] benchmarks don't really matter anyway [00:30] packetfrog, bottom panel? [00:30] grime, yep ... just a slight niggle, I'm sure, but best to try and find out why and whether or not there's something more to it. [00:30] or if you really care, run the same one in the same OS on different computers [00:30] airlynx: Besides the irrelevance of cross platform benchmarks - what do you want to benchmark in particular? [00:30] grime should I tick the Encrypt the new Ubuntu installation for security box? [00:31] bekks: I just want to be sure my new computer is faster than my old one, lol, and I wasn't sure if Ubuntu was utilizing the quad-core processor correctly [00:31] airlynx: Just take a look at "cat /proc/cpuinfo" - if you can see four cores, Ubuntu will use them. [00:31] panorain, if you want that one is your choice [00:32] codephobic, seems like theres a bug with using nautilus and samba together [00:32] grime for a home user would I be best suited to leave the encrypt box unticked? [00:32] bekks: okay, thank you, maybe I'll stop messing around with benchmarks now [00:33] panorain, i usually leave it un-ticked [00:33] grime ok [00:33] grime I am going to use the entire 320.1 GB drive for 12.10 [00:34] grime does this seem correct or a larger swap file? [00:34] codephobic, im reading report of people getting error messages without being a actually being errors [00:34] panorain, thats fine unless your dual booting within the same hd [00:35] grime, that's ominous, I've not experienced any (so far). [00:35] grime ok [00:36] Hi all, if you want to enable quota do you normally have to do a custom compile of the kernel? [00:36] codephobic, yeah so maybe its just a hiccup but might not be true [00:36] panorain, sure thing [00:37] hello? [00:37] I've googled some more, but the nearest thing I've found to the issue is something suggesting that samba and ubuntu report memory in different unit sizes GB vs GiB ... Doesn't look like my situation is a manifestation of that 'error'... [00:38] How to change session type http://www.pasteall.org/pic/show.php?id=46347 there is not option on lightdm === yuugi is now known as Zeptis [00:38] hello? [00:38] yo === g0at is now known as HEYYEYAAEYAAAEYA [00:38] codephobic, https://answers.launchpad.net/ubuntu/+source/nautilus/+question/148866 [00:38] this is support right?? [00:38] gime, so far, things have worked more or less as anticipated. The biggest hurdle was self-inflicted, when I spent 20mins wondering why I couldn't connect a share I set up on ubuntu, to the debian ... then I remembered I'd got firestarter running and hadn't configured it to allow the share though. [00:39] Guest1629, something like that [00:39] grime what about home folder encryption box? [00:40] Hey guys, I have a 3rd party .deb installed. How can I find where the config files are? [00:40] panorain, like i said if you want you can [00:40] Good evening, is there a room for finding specific utilities in the multiverse, or is that sort of query fine here? [00:40] i need help getting the iso backtrack and installing it i already have it downloaded now how do i install please don't be too tech [00:40] grime sorry to be so pesky i'll stop [00:40] !backtrack > Guest1629 [00:40] Guest1629, please see my private message [00:41] guest1629, should be in ~/home/Downloads [00:41] panorain, its all good! === XenGi is now known as XenGi_ [00:41] grime, ah I've had some nasty experiences transferring large files over nautilus ... never again. I do that stuff through terminal only now. [00:42] grime 12.10 looks pretty nice I am going to install gnome-panel at some point I am installing now [00:42] more of a pain, but much more reliable. And faster too (seemingly). [00:42] darkhelmet46, try typing the name of the program in nautilus....make sure you search in root [00:43] grime my brother has a 1600mhz p4 with lucid on installed will the speed decrease with installation of 12.10 on his machine? [00:43] panorain, glad you like it, yeah whenever you want,,then just pick it from the login window [00:43] grime, that's what i am doing now, trying to get everything. i already did it once, but when I reinstall the DEB, all the app preferences are still there. [00:44] panorain, it can run but its gonna be super slow and sluggish [00:44] grime ok [00:45] Would anyone know of a utility to output harmonic key given a (sound) file? [00:45] darkhelmet46, check in /usr/share [00:45] codephobic, so yeah i think you should be fine tho === lawrence is now known as Guest48553 [00:46] thanks grime. [00:46] codephobic, no prob.....glad i could help some [00:46] :) [00:46] Zeptis, oooo thats a tough one what have you tried? [00:47] grime finishing installation report speech-dispatcher disabled [00:47] Google, so far :p [00:47] Got another question ... What's the best driver to install (the default one?) for ATI Radeon HD 3000 on-board video? [00:47] grime, holy crap lots of stuff in there! lol [00:47] I don't know what a developer would explain the function of that sort of program as, so I'm a bit stumped. [00:47] grime pc seems to have hung should I ctrl+alt+bkspc? [00:48] I'm tempted to try out KDE on ubuntu, since I can't get compiz to do the funky box stuff in unity... but I need to fine-tune my graphics "card", before I do so, I suspect. [00:48] darkhelmet46, look for it in there [00:48] Can someone help me with my network configuration? I've got two networks, a 10.70.20.* and a 10.80.10.* that I'm trying to bridge for kvm, but whatever I do, I can't get the bridge to load the 10.80.10.* network http://pastebin.com/2gG7iwJY [00:48] Zeptis, idk of any program that does that [00:49] codephobic, haha if your comp can run it smoothly is funn [00:49] Whelp, time to dive into github, I geso. Thanks for using some of your processing time on it, grime. [00:49] panorain, try rebooting and loggin in in unity 2D [00:49] th3sp00n: Which Ubuntu are you on? [00:50] hey greeting to all [00:50] we're doing a global jam here [00:50] grime ok [00:50] and we've an issue with the mail [00:50] bekks: 12.10 [00:50] Zeptis, try third party programs or windows ones and run it trough wine [00:51] grime, maybe I should change my approach. The app stopped working so I am trying to uninstall/re [00:51] th3sp00n: I've never seen interfaces named like that on a stock Ubuntu, I'm afraid. [00:51] oops [00:51] grime I am at the login window where can I select unity 2d? [00:51] uninstall/reinstall [00:51] bekks: em1 is regular 1gb and the p1p1 is a 10GBE [00:51] th3sp00n, have you checked the settings in network manager? [00:51] grime: it's a headless server [00:51] Well, github seems to have something GPL to build, thankfully. Why didn't I just type 'keyfinder' in the first place. [00:51] panorain, click the ubuntu logo and a list should pop up [00:52] grime ok [00:52] grime, but maybe it can be repaired instead? it was working fine in Wubi, and then I migrated my Wubi install to a dedicated partition, and now it doesn't work. [00:52] grime, I've been unlucky with video cards, because I always get on-board vga mobos and never want to buy graphics cards (I don't play games - got an xbox 360 gathering dust)... but back in ubuntu 10.04, I had compiz, cubes and everything. It's only since unity (I think) that I can't get that stuff to work any more [00:52] holy crap, grime is helping a lot of people [00:52] darkhelmet46, try purging to remove the program [00:52] grime, i tried that too [00:53] grime, the app has a GUI, but it needs to be started from terminal. It does output some error messages, but I'm not sure what they mean. [00:53] th3sp00n: Could you pastebin "uname -a" and "lsb_release -a" please? I am just curious, since I've never seen those interface on Linux. [00:53] codephobic, install gnome-panel to run like 10.04 [00:54] grime where is the ubuntu label located for unity 2d in 12.10? [00:54] darkhelmet46, hmmm so you removed all the files? [00:54] Hello [00:54] Hi. I'm trying to connect to a fortinet VPN, which afaik is just IPSec-based, using ikea, and I'm getting timeouts while establishing the tunnel. I know that from Windows I don't get timeouts. [00:54] bekks: http://pastebin.com/zJ6rehB6 [00:54] grime, ok check this out. i ran it from a Root prompt and it ran fine. it only doesn't work when i run it as a normal user... [00:55] Is there anything I can do to have ikea match what fortinet's client assumes? [00:55] grime, I was going to use KDE instead ... similar tricks in there too. [00:55] panorain, http://www.omgubuntu.co.uk/2012/03/gnome-classic-in-ubuntu-12-04-its-like-nothing-ever-changed [00:55] panorain: there is no unity-2d in 12.10+ [00:56] panorain, look at the end of that post [00:56] just reading up on a solution for legacy video card update to catalyst. starts with downgrading X, before installing a patch .. don't like the sound of that, will try it in a VM first! [00:56] grime ok thank you [00:56] gnome-classic is definatly not identical to the old gnome2.. but its close . ;) [00:56] dr_willis_, thanks for the help [00:57] codephobic, but it depends if your comp can run VM [00:57] darkhelmet46, what program is it ,,,,if you dont mind me asking [00:58] taher, whats up [00:58] grime, it is a program called MXIE, it's basically a VoIP/ Instant Messaging app that integrates with our phone system. [00:59] where is compiz [00:59] grime, I'll try the VM method first, since it would keep most of the "user experience" that I've grown used to... [00:59] hello, please provide me with the UGJ channel or launchpad channel if there are any, thanks [00:59] We are holding UGJ Tunisia, we are trying to configure our gpg keys but some are recieving "keyserver send failure : keyserver error" and some of as are not receiving their encrypted mails yet, what could be the problem ? [00:59] grime, so if I do just "mxie" from terminal, it doesn't work. If I do "sudo mxie", it doesn't work. But if I do "su" to get a root prompt, then do "mxie", it runs fine. What could that mean? [00:59] bravis: what do you mean? the 'whereis' command can show the path to a binary [01:00] hmm, wow.... for some reason my 2.4GHz logitech keyboard's just become a lot slower ... not doing anything much, got plenty of RAM on the system (3GB spare) ... [01:00] darkhelmet46, have you tried sudo apt-get --purge -remove mxie? [01:00] darkhelmet46: check yout env settings.. i bet they are different [01:01] grime, i did "sudo apt-get -purge mxie", is that incorrect? [01:01] darkhelmet46: how did you enable su-ing to root? thats normally disabled by default [01:01] darkhelmet46, it could be mxie or maybe uppercase [01:01] what's a "good" load average (in Ubuntu 12.10)? [01:01] dr_willis_, you'll have to be a little more specific in your comment about env settings, I'm pretty noobish. And to your second question, I dunno? lol [01:01] grime should I update my system before installing unity 2d? [01:02] hrm [01:02] codephobic: Nowadays, the load average is pretty meaningless. [01:02] codephobic, maybe 15g to run comfortably in a VM enviornment [01:02] darkhelmet46: look at your paths and other env settings see the 'set' command output. [01:02] bekks, how so? I don't particularly understand it but it's a nice number and I'm guessing "the lower the better"? [01:02] panorain, yeah sudo apt-get update [01:02] darkhelmet46: this is a normal desktop install? [01:03] grime ok [01:03] panorain, were you able to log in? [01:03] codephobic: if the load is not higher then your cpu cores, everything is fine [01:03] grime, hmm that's a little more than I have to spare :( [01:03] codephobic: "the lower the better" - but I've seen systems with a load far beyond 300 to be responsive as just being idle. [01:03] codephobic: a load of 2 on a 4 core system means the cpu is used by 50% and everything is fine [01:03] codephobic, what about 10? [01:03] dr_willis_, it was a Wubi install which I migrated to a dedicated partition. [01:04] codephobic: a load of 2 on a single core system is a high value, so the tasks have to wait because the cpu is on its limit [01:04] dr_willis_, to clarify, I don't just type "su" and hit Enter to get root, it does prompt me for my password first. === Lice is now known as Licenser_ [01:04] darkhelmet46: the migration didn't migrate ACLs (access control lists). The latest version does. This could be the difference. [01:05] darkhelmet46: you shouldent be able to 'su' to root... unless you enabled the root account. when you do a su, it runs the config files in the users home. ie: /root/ those can have different settings then what your user has when they sudo to root [01:05] grime, I have 8GB in total, web and mysql VMs eating up 1.5GB, Ubuntu host talking another 2GB, Chrome, Firefox et al another 1.5GB ... not much more than 3GB to spare. [01:05] ok, I have a load average of 1.08 across the 4 cores of my cpu. [01:05] codephobic: Whats the output of "free -m"? [01:05] codephobic: Could you pastebin it please. [01:05] codephobic: firefox is not taking 1.5gb real ram [01:05] dr_willis_, I think what I did was "sudo passwd" and then it prompted me for a new root password, an that's how I enabled it. [01:06] codephobic: http://www.linuxatemyram.com/ [01:06] 2999MB [01:06] codephobic: Thats not the output of free -m [01:06] bekks, one moment didn't see the pastebin request. [01:06] codephobic, i think 1.5 or 2 should be fine then.....i though you were asking on the hd not the ram [01:07] bekks, http://pastebin.com/gfMh4PeW [01:08] codephobic: you have 3gb free ram [01:08] iceroot, I know. [01:08] codephobic: 3GB unused RAM :P [01:08] bekks, lol [01:08] I know [01:08] codephobic: Did you take a look at http://www.linuxatemyram.com/ [01:08] wasted ram! ;) [01:08] codephobic: ok, just because you said firefox is taking 1.5gb [01:09] iceroot, I was talking about chrome, firefox and a bunch of other apps (biggest being inkscape) [01:09] panorain, install gnome-panel if you can not Unity 2D [01:09] dr_willis_, halfway tempted to add myself to the root group and call it a day. [01:09] grime, lol [01:10] codephobic, im glad i was able to help this far......i will be leaving soon good think there are others helping [01:10] this is an example of wasted ram (but 8gb was so cheap) :) http://paste.ubuntu.com/5577997/ [01:10] grime, you had me nervous there. I've run ubuntu server in VM with only 512mb ram - for lamp stuff - but I did think Unity with all the frills would require a little more ~ 2-3GB. [01:10] darkhelmet46, do it [01:10] grime, you have a good evening, thanks for the help, the suggestions and the patience :) [01:10] hey guys, I'm thinking of setting up a vm for my personal web dev projects but I'm wondering if I should just have one vm in general or one vm per project to keep the environments separate? [01:10] grime, I thought that was ill-advised? :) [01:11] grime ok [01:11] darkhelmet46: most of the things you've been saying here are ill-advised [01:11] darkhelmet46, add your username to sudoers file so you can run sudo instead of su [01:11] wonky system becomes wonky+1 [01:11] Ben64, I apologize for my ignorance. [01:12] iceroot, how (why?) did that happen? why so much cache and swap? [01:12] How do i istall ubuntu from windows in a external hard drive? [01:12] codephobic, no problem [01:13] urielsalis: you mean a wubi install to a external usb hd? or a full normal install? [01:13] a wubi install to a usb hd [01:13] urielsalis: Do you know what wubi is? [01:13] bekks, I read that site before ... when I first used "free -m" and panicked that all the RAM was being used... [01:13] grime, "sudo adduser username admin" ? [01:13] yes the windows installer [01:14] urielsalis: it installs ubuntu as an application inside of windows so to say. Is that what you want? or do you want to boot off of your USB drive into ubuntu? [01:14] codephobic: because its good when there is much cache used [01:14] codephobic: and swap was the ubuntu default size [01:14] codephobic: free ram is wasted ram [01:14] I want to boot ut to my disk drive with ubuntu but installing it from windows [01:15] iceroot, I thought it was advised not to use too much swap? [01:15] codephobic: so you want that the kernel is caching a lot [01:15] darkhelmet46, no as root go to /etc and edit the file called sudoers then add yourself under root exactly like how root looks [01:15] codephobic: doesnt matter if you have 2gb swap, 8gb swap or 100gb swap if you dont need the space [01:15] !usb | urielsalis [01:15] urielsalis: For information about installing Ubuntu from USB flash drives, see https://help.ubuntu.com/community/Installation/FromUSBStick - For a persistent live USB install, see: https://wiki.ubuntu.com/LiveUsbPendrivePersistent [01:15] I know before the recommended practice was to have 150% the size of RAM as swap, but since the days of 4GB ... [01:15] urielsalis: wubi wont work that way. why do you want it on usb? [01:15] codephobic: the system is on a 60gb ssd and 8gb are swap which will normally never be used [01:15] dr_willis_: He doesnt' want wubi [01:16] grime, and what does that do, give me elevated rights but not root rights?

[01:37] darkhelmet46: Why does it need root priveledges to run? You should check with whoever made the applicaiton. [01:38] histo, the odd thing is, i didn't need gksudo to run it before when I was runnign it from a Wubi install. This only started happening after I migrated the Wubi install to a dedicated partition. [01:38] hello i just wanted to install nmon on my server today and i get this message " user is not in the sudoers file. This incident will be reported."

[01:40] darkhelmet46: Did you download the source code? If so why did you use alien?

[01:41] korn788: is your username m4l?

[01:43] darkhelmet46: Okay well on that page he downloaded an rpm not a tar.gz [01:44] not that I am aware of; you could always just temporarily transfer said files to you hdd untill its done. [01:44] ive had issues with install Ubuntu server from usb i had to install it via CD [01:44] histo, holy crap you're right... shit it was like a month ago, sorry i guess my memory is bad. [01:44] thing is the iso is so small just a normal cd will do, no need for a full dvd [01:44] darkhelmet46: This is an issue with that package. You need to contact their support and see if maybe your user needs to be added to some group or something. That's why you need gksu now. [01:45] korn788: What user did you use when you installed? [01:45] histo, ok thanks i'll do that. [01:45] panorain: 12.04 [01:45] m4l [01:45] thats the only user i made [01:45] i'm about to install a new hard drive ... after partition & format, i want to perform a thorough scan of the surface for defects ... would "badblocks -sv" be the most standard check ? [01:45] when i installed [01:45] thanks all, have a good evening... time to go to sleep for me. [01:45] cya [01:45] ok, my question: I am currently using irssi within screen in gnome-terminal, I want to create a .desktop launcher that launches gnome-terminal and reattaches to this screen session, how would I go about this? [01:45] korn788: and the only groups he's in is m4l and www-data? You messed up when you added the user to the www-data group [01:46] korn788: do you have physical access tot he computer? [01:46] darkhelmet46: if the application used ACLs (access control lists) then they wouldn't have been copied by the migration (it's been added in the last few days). That could explain why you're having permission problems. Reinstalling should resolve that. [01:46] yea it right next to me [01:46] histo why can I not drag the open windows anywhere in gnome-classic I enabled my top launcher bar to dissapear and can see the top of the window now [01:46] but im logged in from putty [01:46] panorain: alt+F7 to move windows [01:46] only because i wanted to go headless [01:47] korn788: Well you need a monitor now. [01:47] bcb2, HI! You were actually helping me with the migration a few days ago, I finally got it sorted! Dunno if you remember. [01:47] but i can add a monitor and keyboard [01:47] korn788: boot in single user mode and fix your gorups [01:47] darkhelmet46: yes I remember [01:47] anyway, bcbc2 I did uninstall/reinstall the app, but nada. [01:47] is there a link or guide to follow as i have only one monitor atm [01:47] histo when do I press alt+f7 when trying to move the window? [01:48] darkhelmet46: that's the only thing I can think of that would explain the difference. [01:48] panorain: yes [01:48] histo rather where should I place my mouse cursor? [01:48] panorain: it will hilight the window then try using the arrow keys to move it. [01:48] bcbc2, so check this out... You recall I couldn't install Grub because of the LDM-Blocker, right? [01:48] panorain: Is the issue that you never have title bars? [01:48] darkhelmet46: right. [01:48] while im not new to linux im new to linux servers and i still trying to learn command line [01:48] histo yes titlbars [01:49] histo titlebars- [01:49] bcbc2, and I downloaded Boot-Repair and it wanted to delete a hard drive sector to fix it, and I was scared to do that, member? [01:49] korn788: yeah whenever you added your user to the www-data group for whatever reason you wiped out your other groups using the wrong command. [01:49] darkhelmet46: yip [01:49] panorain: What version of ubuntu are you using? [01:49] histo Ubuntu 12.10 [01:49] Need some help in python, any one interested?

[01:50] bcb2, ok so.... i finally backed up my laptop, it took a few days because it kept failing, then finally i ran boot-repair, let it delete the sector, and everything worked fine. i was stil able to boot to Windows, and no data loss. lol [01:51] !not-unity | panorain [01:51] !notunity | panorain [01:51] panorain: Ubuntu 11.10 and higher use GNOME 3 with the !unity shell by default. To use GNOME Shell instead, install the "gnome-shell" package and investigate "gnome-tweak-tool". For GNOME Fallback mode, which is similar to GNOME 2, install "gnome-panel". Both packages will place entries in the Sessions dropdown. Using Natty? See !classic [01:51] i don't remember i googled it and it was askubuntu.com post [01:51] panorain: gnome-panel is what you wanted. [01:51] For some reason my EFI boot list only contains "Ubuntu" [01:51] korn788: basically you need to add yourself to the "admin" group [01:52] korn788: hit ctrl+r to do a reverse search and start typing group it will show you the command in your history [01:52] abi_: if you don't get help here, you might ask in #python :) [01:52] Ben64: he fried all his othe groups [01:52] there are no other groups in server version [01:52] histo I will revert to gnome-panel I am running updates to 12.10 right now in terminal [01:52] darkhelmet46: that's good to know. backing up is a pain, but it's more painful if you don't and then you need it. [01:52] Ben64: didn't append the group to his user just assigned it to only the www-data group. [01:52] thank you Tex_Nick [01:52] I can load windows fine using grub2, but I cannot see any other entries in my EFI firmware's boot listing [01:52] from my server, groups returns "ben64 admin" [01:52] panorain: Yeah you basically don't have a window decorater running for whatever reason. [01:52] histo should I uninstall gnome-classic via software manager before I install gnome-panel? [01:53] !uefi | Sazpaimon [01:53] Sazpaimon: UEFI is a specification that defines a software interface between an operating system and platform firmware, it is meant as a replacement for the BIOS. For information on how to set up and install Ubuntu and its derivatives on UEFI machines please read https://help.ubuntu.com/community/UEFI [01:53] abi_: nphope that points you in a good direction :-) [01:53] bcbc2, yeah i know. i just felt silly. lol but i guess better to be safe than sorry. [01:53] is there a channel for the ubuntu touch development stuff? [01:53] Ben64: that's not good [01:53] histo: yes it is [01:53] Ben64: If you want it that way I guess [01:53] thats how server installs are [01:53] Ben64: Yes he removed the other group and didn't append the new one is all. [01:54] didn't remove it but removed his user fromt he group [01:54] sudo chown -R username /var/www/ [01:54] darkhelmet46: it's not silly. I would still recommend it, even knowing that it worked for you. But maybe an entire disk image backup is overkill (I just backup data normally) [01:54] histo, yes I've read all over the wiki, it doesn't explain why I see "Windows Boot Manager" in my firmware's boot list but it doesn't show up when I boot [01:54] histo will installing nvidia geforce 6600 drivers assist gnome-classic? [01:55] Sazpaimon: you need to install grubs efi stuff [01:55] histo are you firm on stating gnome-panel installation in 12.10 then? [01:55] bcb2, i'm a bare-metal restore backup kinda guy. :D [01:55] histo, grub efi is installed [01:55] I just said I can load windows using grub2 [01:55] panorain: Either install gnome-panel or fix gnome-classic to launch a window decorator [01:56] Sazpaimon: You just said there is no ubuntu option from your efi boot? [01:56] histo what is the best route for a noob? [01:56] nom I said " For some reason my EFI boot list only contains "Ubuntu"" [01:56] panorain: install gnome-panel [01:56] Sazpaimon: ahh. Sorry mis understood. Is there a windows efi in your /boot partition? [01:56] histo ok [01:56] just the oposite, after installing ubuntu my windows boot manager entry dissapeared, and boot-repair didn't fix it [01:57] Hi guys, is possible to share my wireless connection with another wireless card? [01:57] histo, yeah, my efi system partition is fine and dandy, it's just something in the firmware is messed up I think [01:57] Sazpaimon: and are you sure windows was installed in efi mode? [01:57] yes, it is [01:57] I'm gonna try bccedit to see if I can delete and re-add the firmware entry [01:58] Sazpaimon: okay then you need to figure out how to edit grubs efi thing to add windows. I'm not that familiar with it but understand some of it. Some other EFI "expert" may need to help you. [01:58] histo I am uninstalling gnome-panel via software manager [01:58] histo, I already said "I can load windows fine using grub2" [01:58] panorain: Why did you want ot install gnome-panel? [01:58] wtf [01:58] histo how long will ubuntu 12.04 be supported for? [01:59] Sazpaimon: You just said ubuntu is the only choice? [01:59] !lts | panorain [01:59] panorain: LTS means Long Term Support. LTS versions of Ubuntu will be supported for 3 years on the desktop, and 5 years on the server; with the exception of 12.04 (Precise Pangolin), which will be supported for 5 years on the desktop. The current LTS version of Ubuntu is !Precise (Precise Pangolin 12.04) [01:59] histo I am running p4 2.8 [01:59] histo, ubuntu is the only choice in my EFI's bootmenu [01:59] ok histo [01:59] histo thank you for your help please bear with me [01:59] Sazpaimon: Than how are you loading windows? [01:59] I dont think you get how efi works, the efi bios has its own bootmenu stored in the firmware itself [01:59] so any Virtual Box gurus in here? [02:00] darkhelmet46: have you checked your log files to see if there's anything related to the permissions problem? [02:00] Sazpaimon: I don't think you are explaining yourself properly [02:00] histo, I'm chainloading windows's efi file using grub, but I'd like to be able to boot windows without the help of grub [02:00] histo my pc is a bit slow I do not like unity taking up room on my monitor [02:00] darkhelmet46: I am fair with it [02:00] bcb2 i don't know where to look :) [02:00] Sazpaimon: Why?

[02:33] Tex_Nick I did i'm logging in now [02:34] fwaokda, just a guess, but I'd say either the driver or the device is limiting the resolution and only letting you use what it can support. [02:34] How do I update grub to boot other kernels manually installed for a dual boot system?

[02:42] but XCast is natively installed [02:42] panorain: SUPER+ALT right click on icons [02:42] dr_willis_: ...theres gotta be something simpler than that [02:42] I like irssi [02:42] panorain: then select move [02:42] really dislike xchat.... doesn't warn me when i'm pasting multiple rows, doesn't allow me to have a bookmarked list of channels without actually being logged into the channel, doesn't have an aggregate feed of all channel activity [02:43] Viralfrost: why would there be? reboot.. thats simple...)

[03:44] Tex_Nick I would love to look into a new theme on this desktop [03:45] what is the channel name for ubuntu help? [03:46] this is it [03:46] #ubuntu [03:46] awesome. [03:46] Tex_Nick do I need to install a new theme for 12.10 or can I just change appearances? this is so different from 10.04 [03:47] I have a question, im trying to install ubuntu 12.10 but when i get to a menu, it says something about a ata4 error, then it just keeps loading a black and purple screen. help?

[03:52] ghostx562 what is universal usb installer what distro are you using? [03:52] using ubuntu 12.10 [03:52] and universal usb installer is from ubuntu site, to load os to usb for install [03:53] thanks ghostx562 [03:53] son these themes kick [03:53] panorain: basicly what you would do is create a new directory in your home directory named .themes ... then untar/unzip your new theme into that directory ... that will keep your themes seperate from the standard themes [03:54] i keep getting a purple screen that flashes then goes away, then a drum sound over and over, [03:54] Tex_Nick on it right now [03:55] hey guys I found a bug but I'm not sure where to report it. It has to do with the login window after coming out of a locked screen (not the user select menu) [03:55] Tex_Nick what do I use to load my new theme? [03:55] what do I use to check a wireless certificate in ubuntu [03:55] dn4 ifconfig -a [03:55] panorain: then from "system Settings/appearance" choose your new theme ...ununtu has a few already installed, but they are kinda funky ;-) === daniel is now known as Guest94566 === KindOne- is now known as KindOne [03:58] i get to a screen that says ata4.00 {error} ABR [03:58] Having trouble printing with my hp officejet5600 all-in-one [03:58] abrt [03:58] Tex_Nick do I need to make the folder hidden instance = .themes in home folder will 12.10 pick it up automatically? [03:58] dmorrison go to synaptic download hplip also hplip-gui [03:59] I did download... [03:59] dmorrison what distro you using? [03:59] I hear the printer wanting to print but doesn't [03:59] 12.10 [03:59] im going to download the os again. [04:00] seems to be installed correctly [04:00] panorain: not sure if you need to make it hidden ... i did ... but yes ubuntu will pick it automaticaly ... by creating that new directory ... your custom themes will be segregated from ubuntu standard themes [04:00] dmorrison I am not familiar alot with 12.10 just installed it today [04:00] Tex_Nick thank you [04:00] panorain: np :) [04:01] just weird it doesn't finish printing [04:02] I'll keep reading [04:02] dmorrison I have an all in one hp 6110 office jet problem with text is cannot print 100% of the page I reduced the print size to 76% then prints clearly but smaller I believe at this point I have a hardware issue [04:02] is it easy to install ubuntu via wubi? [04:02] or just load os to usb then install? === Guest94566 is now known as daniel329 [04:03] ghostx562: wubi isn't a "real" install [04:03] I could try that.. [04:03] Thanks for your time!

Or is a fresh install my best option? [04:05] oOOOOo 12.10! is 12'10 stable yet? [04:06] i guess. [04:06] so I found a bug in 12.04 and I thought it was a kernel issue, but now, 12.04 uses the 3.5 kernel, which didnt have the issue in 12.10 [04:06] I'm still quite new and get stuck sometimes, resorting here for answers. [04:07] when I unplug my laptop I get full 2.6GHz CPU speed if needed, but when I plug it in, I get 1200MHz (tested using Handbrake to encode video) [04:07] I unplug power and get 120FPS encoding, plug it back in and get 20. [04:08] http://imagebin.org/248633 [04:08] I wanted to remove the stuff I preformed while trying to correct a wireless issue. Being new, I don't know if that would be a simple solution [04:08] phunyguy: cpu throttling [04:08] phunyguy: for power savings [04:08] histo, yes but it's backwards [04:08] when I unplug, I get NO throttling [04:08] when I plug it it completely throttles. [04:08] plug in* [04:09] in 12.10, I would get more even behavior. [04:09] Tex_Nick where are the factory installed ubuntu themes kept? [04:10] re trying this again, [04:10] histo, I installed the indicator-cpufreq applet, and tried to hard-set 2.6GHz, and it didn't set it. [04:10] (normally worked in 12.10 as well) [04:11] new guy question: ive taken java and visual basic classes, and ive taken the OpenCourseWare classes online at MIT's website, and done other research in general for programing. however, i still dont feel like i can code or create anything that isnt guided by instructions. where is a good place for learning material to learn how to ACTUALLY code, or what opensource projects could i try working on? [04:11] How can I re-add Windows Boot Manager to my EFI's boot menu (NOT grub's menu) after insalling ubuntu? [04:11] I installed ubuntu in efi mode, and my Windows Boot Manager entry dissapeared from the OS selection menu [04:12] phunyguy: What are you running? [04:12] !raring | phunyguy [04:12] phunyguy: Ubuntu 13.04 (Raring Ringtail) will be the 18th release of Ubuntu, Discussion and support until final release in #ubuntu+1 [04:12] histo, 12.04 [04:12] why did m$ have to mess up the entire infrastructure for dual boot [04:12] what happens after Z? [04:12] histo, not raring [04:13] back to A? [04:13] phunyguy: let me hunt arround for the setting now. [04:14] johnjohn101: to make the installation process as easy as possible? [04:14] panorain: sorry had to go get bevarage ;-) standard themes are in usr/share/themes [04:14] Tex_Nick np should I unzip my hardy origional theme before moving it to /usr/shar/themes or leave it zipped? [04:15] histo this has been an issue for me since the summer, when I first ran 12.04 on this laptop. I ran the beta of 12.10 for a while, but I really like 12.04 [04:15] Tex_Nick I need a beverage as well [04:15] Tex_Nick ponder it no rush [04:15] thanks === lawrence is now known as Guest13612 [04:15] phunyguy: so frequency doesn't increase under load? [04:16] panorain: are your themes in harduy zipped ? [04:16] *hardy [04:16] histo, while plugged in, no. [04:16] it is hard-set at 1200MHz when plugged in [04:16] . [04:16] I can understand saving power when unplugged, but when plugged in?? xD [04:16] Tex_Nick I download the http://mariuxv.deviantart.com/art/Hardy-Theme-75628261 in .gz format to my desktop [04:18] phunyguy: http://ubuntuforums.org/showthread.php?t=248867 [04:18] panorain: ah ok ... yes ... the themes need to be uncompressed before they will be recognized ... at least that's the way i always see them [04:18] phunyguy: You can ignore the 1st step as you are now using kernel based scaling [04:19] histo, 2006? Really? [04:19] the kernel isnt the issue [04:19] if it works why not? [04:19] this works in 12.10. [04:19] panorain: but the contents of each theme will need to reside in it's own directory ... & i believe the directory name will be used for the theme name [04:20] has worked in 12.10 since the kernel there was 3.5.0_17 [04:20] the kernel in 12.04 is 3.5.0_23 currently [04:20] phunyguy: cat /sys/devices/system/cpu/cpu0/cpufreq/scaling_cur_freq should be ondemand [04:20] sorr 0_25 [04:20] so is this the largest channel on freenode? [04:21] oops [04:21] histo, it says: 1200000 [04:21] phunyguy: you could sudo echo performance > cat /sys/devices/system/cpu/cpu0/cpufreq/scaling_governor [04:21] phunyguy: yeah for current freq [04:21] histo, you would think the applet does that [04:22] phunyguy: it's supposed to .

Encoding a video should hammer the cpu and force it to max frequency [04:23] histo, yeah its still at 1200000 [04:23] especially plugged in [04:24] Tex_Nick should I copy the theme of my choice whitch is currently in .gz format to the folder I created in my home directory how will applications>system tools>system settings>appearance>theme pick it up ?

[04:27] panorain: you'll need to extract the .gf ... right now i have a theme on my desktop i haven't installed yet ... i double click on it ... extract the folder within ... & move it to ~.themes [04:28] histo, that cat command you posted to change to performance [04:28] histo: sudo echo performance > cat /sys/devices/system/cpu/cpu0/cpufreq/scaling_governor [04:29] phunyguy: cat /sys/devices/system/cpu/cpu0/cpufreq/scaling_governor What's the output? [04:29] panorain: ok see if that new theme is in "system settings/appearance" [04:29] histo: "userspace" [04:29] well i quit [04:29] Tex_Nick where is your ~.themes located under /usr/etc?

[04:34] phunyguy: how many cpus do you have? [04:34] phunyguy: ex: cpu0 cpu1 etc... [04:34] histo, it's an i5, dual core with hyperthreading [04:34] so 4 cores as far as the kernel is concerned [04:34] BUT [04:34] cpu0 is still 1200000 [04:35] that's wierd [04:35] Tex_Nick I believe I may be dealing with emarland window manager at this point [04:35] histo, yes and it works perfect in 12.10 [04:35] ghostx562: it works much better if you mention who you are talking to, so it doesn't confuse people. [04:37] panorain: do you even know if thats a gtk2 or 3 theme or what it is exactly? [04:37] panorain: i really don't know about that ... hey if dr_willis is back for a bit ... he could probably help you in oneline ;-) [04:38] theres a grrat many old theme 'parts' put there that dont work with the newer stuff.

In component main, is optional. Version 3.2.0.38.46 (precise), package size 2 kB, installed size 31 kB [04:48] Dr_Willis does 12.10 with gnome classic still have gtk3 enabled? [04:49] histo, it is 3.5 kernel [04:49] >< [04:49] Dr_Willis that's what i'm thinking [04:49] phunyguy: hold on [04:49] when i try to connect it tell me "failed to connect" [04:49] panorain: gnome-classic is NOT the old gnome.. its just a look alike.. so yes. i do belive its using gtk3 so that adds even more confusion to the mix [04:50] histo: http://paste.ubuntu.com/5578301/ [04:50] panorain: and i hear the next (?) relese of gnome is supposed to have its own gnome-2ish theme.

[04:54] dr_willis : panorain originally asked for an older look/feel to 12.10 unity ... i recommended ... sudo apt-get install gnome-panel ... was that stupid advice ... if so i need to knowso ican not do it again ;-) [04:54] ghostx562 I am a noob [04:54] histo, that seems so wrong.... it works in quantal [04:54] :( [04:55] is that the correct command to apply a patch file? [04:55] panorain, its ok ill search on the site. [04:55] Guest44950: patch reads patch files from stdin by default, so: patch -p1 < sensor.patch; [04:56] phunyguy: okay well perhaps someone else can tell you what package [04:56] ok great, thank you [04:56] phunyguy: Try the 3.2 kernel and see if the issue is there. [04:56] histo, the issue was there with 3,2 [04:56] ghostx562 I am just excited sorry for bugging you guys so much [04:56] phunyguy: you didn't even know how to cat /sys/.... so how do you know that? [04:56] Its why I used the 12.10 release from alpha on [04:56] phunyguy: or how were you checking earlier? [04:57] I am headed back to gnome 2 most likely anyways with dillo [04:57] all this new stuff is wild [04:57] histo: a simple "cat /proc/cpuinfo" would tell me the freq [04:57] gnome2 is EOL [04:57] histo: don't need fancy cat commands for that [04:57] phunyguy: then file it with the acpi-cpufreq module [04:58] holstein then i'll run fluxbox [04:58] panorain: i suggest you try lubuntu on low end hardware [04:58] i'm just hangin out [04:58] phunyguy: what is the maximum step in cpuinfo? [04:58] panorain: i might have given you bad advice for switching to gnome classic ... i'm using it, have had to tweak several things ... but it's been flawless for the most part ... if you find support problems with it though ... might be best for you to just revert bact to unity [04:58] panorain: i find XFCE to be a lot like gnome2 was [04:58] histo: "stepping"? [04:58] or max speed? [04:59] Tex_Nick I just need to read more you give awesome advice and thank you [04:59] phunyguy: max speed [04:59] the gnome-classic-fallabck stuff has always been a bit of a after thought tossed in to keep people from complainng too much, while the gnome-devs work on what they really want to focus on... gnome-shell [04:59] histo, 2.6GHz [05:00] holstein fair enough maybe dapper drake somehow get a browser that still works it's all good [05:00] your all very helpful [05:00] for an decent old skool light desktop. lubuntu is hard to beat [05:01] no need to go back to obsolete old relesaes or mess with barely-developed gnomeish-2ish look alikes. ;) [05:02] phunyguy: cpufreq-info | pastebinit [05:03] Dr_Willis I have to say hardy heron days I wanted to just learn more about tor etc I don't need all the fancy widgets [05:03] i am trying to install ubuntu 12.10 over windows 8, any specific steps i need to take? [05:03] histo http://paste.ubuntu.com/5578326/ [05:04] Dr_Willis : i'm going to take that as good advice for myself ... and not recommend gnome classic in the future :-) [05:04] heh [05:04] ghostx562: be sure you got a full set of restore disks made juat in case you need to put windows 8 back on [05:04] histo, I can already see.... current policy: frequency should be within 1.20 GHz and 1.20 GHz. [05:04] o.O [05:05] Tex_Nick: we will have to see what happens with the gnome-shell - gnome2ish them ive heard mentioned... [05:05] phunyguy: can you pastebin that from 12.10? I'm assuming it's the ondemand problem [05:05] Tex_Nick: but i bet lubuntu will still be lighter then that gs+g2theme [05:05] phunyguy: the range for it. [05:05] uhhh... I dont have 12.10 installed...... [05:05] :( [05:05] but I can boot livecd real quick [05:06] gimme about 10 [05:06] k [05:06] Dr_Willis: i originally had ubuntu but tried out windows 8 just to see all the hype and im trying to go back to ubuntu, but can't get it to install. [05:06] i figure with knowing little having limited skill i was lucky to learn about ralink chipsets let alone other operating systems then windows [05:07] ghostx562: use gparted from a live cd to partition the hd beforhand perhaps? i never used win8. so cant advise more [05:07] Dr_Willis: I"ve no CD Drive. [05:07] phunyguy: I can confirm it's workign on my laptop [05:08] histo, on 12.10? [05:08] phunyguy: in 12.10 [05:08] histo, ok I am creating a bootUSB now [05:08] !tell ghostx562 about liveusb [05:08] I will get you the info [05:08] ghostx562, please see my private message [05:08] phunyguy: k. [05:08] phunyguy: you'll have to install cpufrequtils to see that range [05:08] Dr_Willis : i've never tried lubuntu ... i just ordered components for a cheap box from newEgg ... just for a test platform ... do me a favor ... when you see me giving crazy advice ... kick me in the backside REAL hard ;-) [05:08] histo, that's ok. [05:09] phunyguy: http://paste.ubuntu.com/5578332/ It should look like this [05:09] haha [05:09] phunyguy: lines 11-13 in yours is wrong [05:09] Son!

I added video to my usser group. but without any succes. Preview works fine but i cant seem to find the virtual cam to use the java web applet. Any ideaś? [05:34] histo, my life is long. [05:35] AcidRain: nothin is preventing you from adding cinammon, though cinammon is not supported here, and 11.10 is EOL soon, and histo has pointed out[C[C [05:35] acidrain, that means that support for that version of the OS will no longer be offered. [05:35] AcidRain: Nope actually your version of ubuntu is end of life nevermind [05:35] :D [05:35] for example when i use manycam on ehum windows it will let me choose the virtual cam of manycam in the java applet.

[05:39] histo: what is a pwd? [05:39] dmitryp: print working directory. I think you are confused as to where you are. [05:39] holstein, there must be a regression somewhere in 12.10 wrt to bluetooth [05:39] rumblebumble: could be [05:39] histo: /home/dmitry/aptina/driver [05:40] dmitryp: okay then cd /home/dmitry/aptina/ValidationKernel [05:40] dmitryp: okay then cd /home/dmitry/aptina/driver/ValidationKernel [05:40] dmitryp: sorry second one. [05:40] can anyone help me in configuring conky. I am facing certain problems: I mentioned all problems here: http://ubuntuforums.org/showthread.php?t=2121456 [05:40] histo: either of the two gives m ea no such fiile or directory error [05:41] dmitryp: You are in the driver directory cloning a git source into the ValidationKernel directory. Do you understand this? [05:41] dmitryp: You already stated it was giving you an error that the file exists. [05:41] correct [05:41] then it's there [05:41] exactly [05:42] c2tarun: i would just remove parts, and try and see what the issue is... i usually just run conky from the terminal when testing, so its easy to kill and spawn [05:42] it gives me an error when I try the git clone, but no file or directory error when I try to CD [05:42] dmitryp: open a terminal type your git command in and then do an ls after it's done. Pastebin the output [05:42] in /dev i have both the virtualcam and my webcam listed. Any idea's?

[05:43] holstein, yup, but now its not even working from terminal, if I remove conky and reinstall again, it'll run but on reboot again I am facing same problem. [05:43] c2tarun: there is #conky [05:43] histo, yeah, everyone seems to be sleeping there. So I thought if anyone here can help me. [05:44] c2tarun: i would remove *parts*.. and test.. try and determine which part of the config is bad [05:44] i'm trying to switch from osx -> ubuntu but at the moment i have a major blocker which is the speed of google chrome. It's incredibly slow, tabs crash and hang regularly (note it works perfectly under both windows 8 / xp / osx 10.7 / osx 10.8. I develop web-based information system so i spend nearly all day inside chrome and the debugger panel [05:44] holstein, ok, let me try to grab default template and test if its working or not [05:44] i can't work out what's causing the issue, i have plenty of ram left, it's the newest version of chrome. I'm running 12.04 (only 1 day old) [05:45] histo: http://paste.ubuntu.com/5578393/ [05:45] it's there, but I don't see it in file browser [05:45] crazyhorse: start witha fresh config.. i use chrome al the time, and it works great [05:45] holstein: haha, works for me.. doesn't help :( [05:45] c2tarun: you did auto start it via a script with like a 10 second delay? [05:46] holstein, hmm... its odd, there was two files .conkyrc~ and .conkyrc.swp, I deleted them manually and conky started working. [05:46] Dr_Willis, sorry, I am not getting, can you please rephrase. [05:46] crazyhorse: sure, thats what i included the comment about removing your current config... i just say "it works" so you know its possible.. otherwise, i would say, just remove it if it didnt work [05:46] holstien: i just installed it [05:46] holstein: and i had the same issues in chromium [05:47] crazyhorse: there should be a config there.. or try as a different user [05:47] c2tarun: the conky faq details how to properly auto start conky. it must wait untill the desktop is loaded. [05:47] crazyhorse: chromiume works fine too [05:47] chromium* [05:47] so if i upgrade to 12.04, your telling me that i wont lose files? [05:47] c2tarun: or it may get hidden [05:47] holstein: hang on.. it's a blank install.. i've not changed anything [05:47] dmitryp: in your file browser hit ctrl+l and type in /home/aptina/driver/ [05:47] AcidRain: you should have backups anyway [05:47] holstein: installed.. started trying to load webpages thats it [05:47] so whats that mean? its a possibility that i lose everything, though i shouldnt? [05:47] AcidRain: power failure during upgrade is never good... [05:47] /msg NickServ identify 1234abcd [05:48] are yall sure this is safe after i backup? [05:48] Dr_Willis, okay, now I got that why conky is not working in startup applications :P, can you please see my last post in this thread: http://ubuntuforums.org/showthread.php?t=2121456 can you please see the problem I am facing in changing font colors, please see if you can suggest something. [05:48] histo: ok, and then? [05:48] AcidRain : no its not ; but always have backup [05:48] Dr_Willis can you give me an apt package for gtk3 that will give me more themes fast in 12.04? [05:48] AcidRain: better to backup now.. then to learn how to recover later [05:48] dmitryp: Do you see it now? [05:48] crazyhorse: have you applied all upgrades? [05:48] panorain: nope. im on my phone. [05:48] holstein: which upgrades? [05:48] dmitryp: Specifically the ValidationKernel directory [05:48] Dr_Willis ok sorry [05:49] holstein: oh general OS upgrades? [05:49] crazyhorse: any system upgrades that might be breaking your setup [05:49] ah no.. i'll reboot and give that a go :) [05:49] panorain: i just use the ones from webupd8 [05:49] crazyhorse: you can also start google-chrome from the terminal and see if you see any helpful error messages [05:50] histo: no I don't see it, however, when I typed cd ValidationKernel I was taken to /.local/share/Trash/files/driver/ValidationKernel$ [05:51] AcidRain: you need to just have backups... imagine *when* that hard drive fails.. plan for that, and then you cant do anything you cant recover from easily [05:51] dmitryp: What sort of experience do you have with linux? [05:51] hard drives seem to be the biggest point of failure these days. [05:52] holstein, i have crongjobs that backup everything every morning at 3am. but only important files rather. [05:52] might be better to ask.. why you dont allready habe backups made. ;0 [05:52] other than that, nothig is kept on my internal drive [05:53] Dr_Willis are the webup8 ppa's safe containing no malware? === Kasjopaja23111 is now known as Kasjopaja [05:53] panorain: have you ever seen of heard of malware on linux? [05:53] ? [05:53] AcidRain: you will lose *all* files when that hard drive fails, so you might as well plan for that [05:54] histo: not a lot, I think the file in the trash from a different installation [05:54] holstein, chances of 2 drives going out at same time? [05:54] panorain: its a major linux news and info site... use it if you want.. or not. [05:54] work time.. bbl. [05:54] Dr_willis I am concerned about firefox and the builtin firewall on ubuntu 12.10 [05:54] hi [05:54] AcidRain: seen it happen with a power surge [05:54] AcidRain: doesnt matter. if you have your data backed up, then you wont lose anything in any upgrade or reinstall [05:54] panorain: the firewall 'builtin' is turned off by default.. [05:55] Dr_Willis, i have 2 power surges before my cmputer is reached? still happen? [05:55] panorain: biggest danger to a linux box is the end user doing somthing stupid. [05:55] it can still happen [05:55] AcidRain: ever see a lighting bolt hit a house..... [05:55] heh [05:55] Dr_Willis, no lol. sounds cool though. not for people in it [05:55] set my carpet on fire... [05:56] work time.. bbl.

[05:56] Dr_Willis, ok, i have backedup everything i can think of. so all i have to do is hit this upgrade to 12.04 LTS and im good? or in theory [05:57] AcidRain: it doesnt matter.. this is in response to "will i lose data if i upgrade" and im just saying, assume you will, and backup what you need, and you wont lose it [05:57] I'd like to draw parallel lines, perpendicular lines, bisect angles, etc., and basically do simple engineering drawings. what is a good free software program that would let me do this? [05:57] !inkscape [05:57] Inkscape is a powerful vector graphics drawing application - see http://www.inkscape.org/ for more [05:57] AcidRain watch out Unity may cause issues for newcomers [05:57] sunson, pencil & paper [05:57] sunson, goto the science section of the software center [05:57] panorain, as soon as install is done, i install gnome2 shell [05:58] AcidRain please help me then [05:58] ghostx562: pencil and paper is too painful. I'd ideally want a drafter... [05:58] i almost refuse to update just because i know ill have to look at unity long enough to do sudos [05:58] haha [05:58] AcidRain wow [05:58] gnome-shell i believe [05:58] AcidRain: ok, will check out. [05:58] histo: http://imagebin.org/248643 [05:58] well im done with ubuntu, it seems it doesn't want to install on my pc. [05:59] ok all, here goes. [05:59] you can see unity on the live CD.. check it out for yourself and decide... xubuntu looks/feels a lot like the ond gnome2 setup [05:59] * AcidRain clicks on upgrade button [05:59] SamanthaD: AcidRain don't do it [05:59] SNAP! i alrdy did! did? [05:59] nooooooooooooooooooooooo [05:59] why?* [06:00] :'( [06:00] unity is haxt meh [06:00] AcidRain I agree but I am only a nood [06:00] AcidRain: sorry for trolling you, im sorry [06:00] unity just said "all ur base r mine" [06:00] wtf [06:00] AcidRain I do not want to bug you sorry [06:01] dmitryp: and ls -l in the terminal while you are in the driver directory shows the VirtualKernel directory? [06:01] now to get a decent them with square corners like crux [06:02] hii, what is rolling release in ubuntu? [06:02] gosh if I had crux and a 3.5 kernal I could read more about wifi etc. [06:02] means how can i download it [06:02] is there a rolling release? [06:02] unity clicked on the "start upgrade" button and disabled the cancel button! [06:02] dmitryp: paste the output of ls -l /home/dmitry/aptina/driver/* [06:02] histo: I am really weirded out by this [06:03] phunyguy: Why? [06:03] histo: after a reboot it works [06:03] AcidRain: never trust unity ... its like mac, shining blinky but evil on the inside [06:03] let me try to unplug and replug, that may give a glue [06:03] cue* [06:03] clue* [06:03] doing the harlem dance [06:03] heh [06:04] ahhh histo, yeah it dropped again [06:04] it is on the unpug and replug that it fails. [06:04] phunyguy: after reboot what worked i'm confused? [06:04] histo if I reboot with the cord plugged in, it starts up in ondemand with it working as expected. If I unplug the cord and replug it in, it drops back to stuck at 1.2GHz [06:04] AcidRain what operating system were you using before 12.10 unity? [06:05] histo: http://pastebin.com/g1y87zen [06:05] histo: it does not show up in ls -l, only when i do git clone it says the directory already exists [06:06] AcidRain: unity still running? [06:08] AcidRain how are you installing the gnome 2 shell? [06:09] dmitryp: It was there... Did you delete it? http://paste.ubuntu.com/5578393/ <<<<< this was your earlier paste where did it go? [06:09] histo: no I didn't this is weird [06:10] dmitryp: I have no idea what is going on. [06:10] if i want to run 2 or 3 copies of ubuntu and a single copy of windows concurrently, what is the method that gets the most out of the hardware with the least amount of compataibility issues? [06:10] histo, bug filed: #1139331 [06:11] histo: now it's doing git again when I did git clone. is there a command that I need to type in after git clone, like 'commit'? [06:12] histo: never mind I see the folder now, let me see that it doesn't disappear after it finishes. anyways thank you so much for your help, I'm have a headache from this so I'm gonna go for today, thank you [06:13] phunyguy: cool. === ukdkbr is now known as enroxorz [06:13] I should have filed that bug when 12.04 came out === enroxorz is now known as ukdkbr === upgrayedddd is now known as abumirqaan [06:13] !manual | dmitryp [06:13] dmitryp: The Ubuntu Manual will help you become familiar with everyday tasks such as surfing the web, listening to music and scanning documents. With an emphasis on easy to follow instructions, it is suitable for all levels of experience. http://ubuntu-manual.org/ [06:14] phunyguy: it's probably just something with your hardware [06:14] histo I don't doubt it, but it is common hardware [06:14] regular intel cpu [06:14] all intel hardware [06:15] histo you ever run elegence colors in 12:10? [06:15] panorain: i've been out looking for coyotes ... just scrolled up ... for gtk version, try this ... dpkg -s libgtk-3-0|grep '^Version' [06:15] histo: http://paste.ubuntu.com/5578433/ [06:15] that is lspci [06:16] there is an ungoldy amount of errors while installing as i glance at terminal [06:16] cant be good [06:16] Tex_nick left me 3.6.0-0ubuntu3.2 [06:17] Tek_Nick please see www.webup8.org/2013/01/elegance-colors-gnome-shell-theme-gets.html [06:17] phunyguy: Yeah ... and I'm assuming since everybody and their brother isn't complaining about it. Its' something specific to your hardware/bios [06:17] Tex_Nick thanks again [06:18] Tex_Nick my gtk version is 3.6.0-0ubuntu3.2 [06:19] histo, it isn't a noticable thing [06:19] the desktop still runs smooth [06:19] panorain: that url looks like a parked url ? [06:19] I should test the livecd again with the unplug and replug, histo [06:19] since that's what triggered it [06:19] brb [06:20] phunyguy: yeah just to be sure. Make sure you add all that to your bug report too. [06:20] and I did [06:20] panorain: have a look at this ... http://www.ubuntuupdates.org/package/gnome_shell/quantal/main/base/gtk+3.0 [06:20] Tex_Nick yes it is from the site webupd8 what is a parked url anyways? [06:21] Tex_Nick your on the smart end thanks [06:22] exit [06:22] Tex_Nick should I think about security before adding this repo to adp? [06:23] panorain: a parked url is usually a url that once belongeg to someone who let it lapse for some reason ... the isp then puts their own advertising there tyhen [06:24] hi, i used checkinstall....it started and got an error, instead it built some backup package it installed it seems. is it possible to remove this package again? === cl0akd is now known as cloakd [06:26] panorain: that url ... http://ww1.webup8.org/2013/01/elegance-colors-gnome-shell-theme-gets.html ... looks to me like just a bunch of advertising links ?

This page provided to the domain owner free by Sedo's Domain Parking [06:27] histo, some more info though. If I unplug and replug with the CPU not maxed, it goes back to the right setting [06:27] so it seems to only do it when the CPU is pegged === castawayz|idle is now known as til4k [06:28] righteo, so I have a new box set up for me by my host, I'm SSH'd in - apt-get, make and dpkg aren't installed at all [06:28] how do i get apt-get going [06:29] Tek_Nick what does sedo domain parking mean? [06:29] BuddaT: theres a fairly good chance you don't have ubuntu on it [06:29] panorain: anyway, hey regarding which themes will work for you ... only advice i could give is ... just try the ones you find ... they either work or they don't ;-) [06:29] hmm [06:29] where can i check that [06:30] Tex_Nick thank you I have so many questions maybe I can help you someday [06:30] BuddaT: cat /etc/*release [06:30] panorain: i've tried several on this box ... most of them worked ... a few didn't though ... i just delete the ones that don't work or that i don't want :) [06:30] So I have this problem, seems common, described it here http://askubuntu.com/questions/262940/ubuntu-software-center-error [06:31] CentOS, brilliant [06:31] i totally told them to install ubuntu [06:31] sigh [06:31] enjoy your "yum" :P [06:31] im not entirely sure what the problem is but i see everyone has it [06:31] Tex_Nick thank you for your help did you find a coyote? [06:31] ive tried a bunch of stuff [06:32] I am a noob [06:32] Say, folks, is there any way I can make my notebook play a sound when the battery reaches a specified level? Also, any way to 1. get the battery level (in percent) and 2. switch between normal/presentation modes using only the terminal? [06:32] panorain: mind if i pm you ... might be best to take this off channel [06:32] thanks, Ben64 [06:32] (using 12.04 UbuntuStudio (=XFCE)) [06:32] Tex_Nick no problem [06:33] contrapunctus: youre talking about software [06:33] til4k: ??? [06:33] unlesss its a configuration in the pre-installed ubuntustudio i dunno [06:34] So what software, if that's what's needed? [06:34] contrapunctus: not really what ubuntu support means, but you can ask in #ubuntu-offtopic [06:35] im not fam with xfce personally [06:35] lol! [06:38] softwarecenter is a nightmare === c_smith is now known as c_smith_away [06:38] I think it may be the single slowest piece of software in an ubuntu install [06:42] it is oddly slow [06:43] hmm.. isent there battery info in some /proc/ dir you could monitor and do a lot of what was mentioned above via a bash script. ;) [06:45] phunyguy: it does that in both .04 and .10? [06:45] histo: yes it did it in the liveCD [06:46] I thought 12.10 was fine because I didnt know that the CPU had to be maxed to reproduce. [06:46] histo, try it with CPU maxed. I installed burn and ran 6 burnP6 processes in tandem to produce a nice load [06:47] I could even hear the fan kick up while CPU was at 2.6GHz, then when I unplugged and plugged power back in, I heard the fan speed drop [06:48] I am half tempted to try it in 13.04 [06:48] :) [06:48] phunyguy: wow [06:48] phunyguy: give me a minute I will try [06:49] histo? [06:49] ok [06:49] phunyguy: need to find a way to max my cpu [06:50] histo: set the multiplicator in your bios on a higher value and hope that your cpu isnt burning :) [06:50] histo, I apt-get installed burn [06:51] phunyguy: isn't that a utility for burning cds? [06:51] then ran burnP6 & burnP6 & burnP6 & burnP6 & burnP6 & burnP6 & [06:51] sorry cpuburn [06:51] ewps. [06:51] then when finished, killall burnP6 [06:52] also it took about 6 seconds for the throttle to happen [06:52] so give it a minute with the cable plugged back in [06:53] while you do that I will boot 13.04 [06:53] (3.8 kernel I think) [06:54] phunyguy: Okay give me steps to recreate I just ran burnP6 while it was running I unplugged power and plugged it back in. [06:54] Mine is fine [06:58] whatcha guys talking about? [06:58] magn3ts: frequency scaling bug phunyguy found [06:58] I'm trying to recreate it [06:59] ah, I can try to repro f someone wants. I was wondering if you were talking cpu fans on a MBA [06:59] phunyguy: I can't recreate it. So what are you doing step by step to recreate it? === PrincessDaybreak is now known as Dawn_ [07:01] histo, max the cpu with it plugged in, then unplug for a few seconds, and plug back in. wait about 10 seconds, and check the cpufreq-info [07:01] phunyguy: yeah can't recreate here [07:02] are you fully maxing CPU? [07:02] burnP6 is single-threaded [07:02] hence why I ran like 6 [07:02] yeap [07:02] and the issue wasn't present in 13.04 either [07:02] phunyguy: maxed with 3 of them. here. poopy core 2 [07:02] phunyguy: it's a bug with just your hardware aparently [07:02] hmm. [07:03] might be an ivy-bridge bug [07:03] phunyguy: something with acpi and your bios. You maybe able to fix it with a bios upgrade... [07:03] it is very possible actually, thanks for the top [07:03] tip* [07:03] np [07:03] phunyguy: which gen is ivy bridge, I may have one [07:04] magn3ts: latest I think. It is this year's Lenovo laptop line [07:04] i5-3570K CPU @ 3.40GHz [07:04] I have a 3320 [07:04] yeah, mine's Ivy. You want me to run 4x cpuburn? [07:04] magn3ts: laptop? [07:04] desktop, I've got this years MBA I can grab if you want me to test it [07:04] it is a laptop bug. [07:04] I'm on 13.04 / 3.8kernel though [07:05] magn3ts: that wont help me [07:05] but thanks [07:05] phunyguy: okay, even the macbook air? [07:05] magn3ts: i just tested in 13.04, the issue isn't present [07:05] phunyguy: or oh [07:05] okay. well sorry then, best of luck [07:05] thanks [07:08] phunyguy: They are definately gonig to want your hardware info on the bug then. I can't recreate it. [07:08] back to Ubuntu, Lovely [07:08] ;) [07:08] happy [07:09] histo: should already be there.... didn't the ubuntu-bug command grab all that? [07:09] phunyguy: what's the bug number? [07:09] histo: 1139331 [07:09] bug 1139331 [07:09] bug 1139331 in linux (Ubuntu) "cpu throttling not working" [Undecided,Confirmed] https://launchpad.net/bugs/1139331 [07:10] alrighty, in the process of creating a custom iso of ubuntu 12.04 with gnome-shell as the default login, now how do I configure the default de for the live user's login? [07:10] wait, confirmed already? [07:11] ntzrmtthihu777: in the lightdm configuration files i think ntzrmtthihu777 [07:11] phunyguy: yeah who confirmed it? [07:11] Do all Ethernet adapters work with ubuntu? or is there a specific type I should get or you could recommend? [07:11] ok, where are those located? [07:11] histo: Brad Figg [07:11] sigh how do I tell ffmpeg where libfdk-aac.so.0 is? [07:11] Dr_Willis: you seem to be hugely informative, lol [07:11] !hcl | silversufer [07:11] silversufer: For lists of supported hardware on Ubuntu see https://wiki.ubuntu.com/HardwareSupport - To help debugging and improving hardware detection, see https://wiki.ubuntu.com/DebuggingHardwareDetection [07:12] silversufer: most wired nics should work. id say stick with the bigger name chipsets. [07:12] silversufer: sime chipsets do have driver bugs. [07:13] tyvm [07:13] phunyguy: do you believe me now that it's the kernel??? lol [07:13] histo: yup. [07:14] thanks for putting me in my place [07:14] phunyguy: I wasn't trying to. [07:14] silversufer: the chances are someone out there has the same nic and is running/trying to run linux aswell [07:14] phunyguy: I just wanted to stay awake to see you discover it for yourself what I told you a long time ago. [07:14] Is libtiff installed on ubuntu by default? [07:14] phunyguy: 2.5hours ago... [07:14] !info libtiff [07:14] Package libtiff does not exist in quantal [07:14] goodnight all [07:14] night histo [07:15] thanks [07:15] easy to check Sefid_par , try to install. if it doesn't work, its likely there already [07:16] ntzrmtthihu777: I do not know its name exactly [07:17] ah, gotcha. [07:17] ntzrmtthihu777: Ok. found :P [07:18] is it possible to select only temperature from output of sensors in terminal? Till now I am using sensors | grep 'Core 0' so I am getting I wan't only <+56.0C> [07:20] nsudo fdisk -l [07:20] c2tarun: #bash [07:21] c2tarun: with some grep or awk ussage yes [07:21] c2tarun: i would also say grep + awk [07:21] awk is amazingly handy [07:22] c2tarun: also look into the cut command [07:22] regular expreszions are a nuclear powered swiss army knife also. [07:23] syntax: cut -d ',' -f 4 - would be to split by command, and grab 4th entry (IIRC - going from memory) [07:23] split by coma**** [07:23] comma*** [07:23] WOW. [07:23] * c2tarun looking in awk and cut command [07:23] need to go to bed. [07:23] phunyguy: Please don't flood; use http://paste.ubuntu.com to paste; don't use Enter as punctuation. [07:24] c2tarun: sensors | grep 'Core 0' | egrep -? '\d+.\d+°C' might work as a pure-regex solution. I don't remember the flag, it's the one that only prints the matched text to stdout. (That said, I don't know awk, so that might be more useful). [07:24] erm, again, where are the lightdm files located? [07:24] Say, folks, is there any way I can make my notebook play a sound when the battery reaches a specified level? Also, any way to 1. get the battery level (in percent) and 2. switch between normal/presentation modes using only the terminal? I'm using 12.04, UbuntuStudio (=XFCE). [07:24] I am in the middle of an apt-get update on the iso, so I can't check it for myself [07:25] I'm going to install z prozila gui: /bin/sh: 2: .././mkinstalldirs: Permission denied [07:25] make[2]: *** [install-data-yes] Error 126 [07:26] ntzrmtthihu777: http://paste.ubuntu.com/5578523/ (12.04) === lawrence is now known as Guest24086 [07:26] Laogeodritt, I think there is some minor fault, its not working, did you test in on your machine? [07:26] thankya, iceroot [07:27] c2tarun, sorry, I didn't, just threw it out there. (Also the -? was the flag I didn't remember, if that wasn't clear). [07:27] I'll check it in a sec [07:27] oh [07:27] I'm going to install a prozila gui: https://github.com/screwgoth/prozilla-dev-2.5 But I get this err when I use "sudo make install" [07:27] /bin/sh: 2: .././mkinstalldirs: Permission denied [07:27] make[2]: *** [install-data-yes] Error 126 [07:27] Laogeodritt, ohh.. :P I am also chkng [07:27] emzi: not executable? [07:28] actually mine might have issues, it'll match several temperature strings... not sure whether grep will only match the first one and leave it at that for the line or not [07:29] iceroot: chmod 777 mkinstalldirs [07:30] I'm looking into writing a shell script, Which I want it to have the ability, So that i can click on any file and run the script, Which my main question is how would I tell the script to process the selected file? [07:33] is there a terminal command you can run to check what de you are using if you do not already know? [07:35] I think bash [07:35] what? [07:35] ntzrmtthihu777: you can have more then one DE but "dpkg -l \*ubuntu-desktop | grep -v ^ii" should show the installed DEs on ubuntu systems [07:35] c2tarun: sensors | grep 'Core 0' | grep -Po '\+\d+\.\d+°C' [07:36] BlackWeb: nautilus has a 'nautilus scripts' feature you could . setup the script in the right dir.. right click on a file and hsve a scripts ->myscript [07:36] c2tarun: sorry, I'm too used to using Perl-style regexes =P My solution has the problem that it identifies all three temperatures in your line though [07:36] yes, I know that iceroot , I just want to get the right name to use [07:36] gedit [07:36] dammit lol [07:36] echo $SHELL shows your shell [07:36] ntzrmtthihu777: you mean you want gnome, unity, kde, xfce4, lxde as a name instead of ubuntu-desktop, xubuntu-desktop and so on [07:36] !ping iceroot [07:37] Dr_Willis: If I made say a simple rev script then would the script know the file just by right clicking, "/bin/bash" [07:37] yes, I got that, but what i mean is I know I want gnome-classic (no effects) but want to make sure I am using the right name for the live cd [07:38] emzi, no need to use !ping [07:38] emzi: i dont know the reason [07:38] BlackWeb: you want to do somthing to system files and dirs? you would need sudo rights/use gksudo somehow [07:39] so you need to escape the * in dpkg -l \*ubuntu-desktop | grep -v ^ii ? [07:40] I'll tweak around a little and see if I can figure out, Yea Mainly trying to create a shell script to encrypt & Decrypt files with GPG, Which right now I use just regular shell script where I input the files to process or have the script look for a paticular file in a directory, but mainly was wondering if i was to right click on the file and use the script if the script would automatically know what file i was wanted to work with? [07:40] interesting idea, BlackWeb [07:40] ntzrmtthihu777: yes because you want that dpkg is working with the * not the bash but bash would try to replace the * first before it will deliver the string to dpkg [07:41] BlackWeb: check the nautilus scripts guides.. it sets some $filename type variables [07:41] gotcha [07:41] the 'nautilus scripts' feature gets overlooked too much. its such a nifty feature [07:42] damn this is taking forever, lol. [07:42] I should like to learn about using nautilus scripts [07:42] Alright I'll browse through it and see if I can figure it out, thanks Dr_Willis [07:44] about how much do you think an ubuntu 12.04 install grows with that first apt-get update ? [07:45] I like that, lol. good reference [07:51] ntzrmtthihu777: apt-get update will not change anything on your system, it will just update the package lists [07:51] derp, lol. apt-get upgrade I mean. [07:52] and whats wrong with an apt-get dist-upgrade :-p [07:52] besides it will remove and install new packages some times [07:52] --- is not happy with gnome-screensaver at the moment.. [07:53] gave up on it and disabled locking on this system.. system works just fine... until it locks.. then computer coma [07:53] Isn't apt-get upgrade evil? [07:53] *supposed to be evil [07:54] but suspend.. hibernate.. blanking of screen work fine... [07:54] ntzrmtthihu777: you want "sudo apt-get dist-upgrade" to get the latest security fixes and not apt-get upgrade [07:54] sigh.. oh gnome what are you people doing to your desktop environment [07:54] i myself always run dist-upgrade.. rather then just upgrade [07:54] not that I am aware of. oh really? thanks for the info, iceroot [07:54] but always have [07:54] 1056c0d34 - tried xscreensaver? [07:55] contrapunctus, been thinking about it [07:55] Is there any way I can make my notebook play a sound when the battery reaches a specified level? Also, any way to 1. get the battery level (in percent) and 2. switch between normal/presentation modes using only the terminal? I'm using 12.04, UbuntuStudio (=XFCE). [07:55] have it on my other desktop that has lxde on it (poor old system) [07:55] contrapunctus: $ acpi [07:55] Battery 0: Discharging, 46%, 02:57:41 remaining [07:55] should be doable, contrapunctus . interesting idea for a conky item... [07:55] SwedeMike - Don't have acpi o.o [07:56] not sure contrapunctus I know when my battery gets low.. ( by going into alsamixer from term and turning vol up on been....) my system starts beeping at me [07:56] contrapunctus: you don't have the program or your latop/battery doesn't support acpi? [07:57] I don't have the program [07:57] contrapunctus: install it then. [07:57] Was hoping to achieve it with what's available o.o [07:57] contrapunctus: I didn't have it either, took 3 seconds to install it."apt-get install acpi" [07:58] In theory, you "could" cron a script that asks ACPI for it's discharge level; if <= $DESIRED_LEVEL trigger ALSA to output entropy from /dev/urandom; enjoy the music ;) [07:59] Installing...I'm rather hesitant to install new stuff...pro audio rig, don't want anything to break [07:59] ejv: or just run mplayer or something else. [07:59] oh just great.. hit exit on steam.. it went into notification area.. and now i cant get it to come back.. but its still in notification.. sigh.. kde i might be coming your way soon.. gnome has me at my wits end [07:59] uhh... we're geeks, we like our entropy. :) [07:59] entropy? [07:59] you could also use 'aplay' to pipe music from /dev/random as well haha [08:00] poor man's ubuntu signaler [08:00] hmm, ok, the default session is gnome-shell; how would you do the no-effect version? [08:00] 1057c0d3r - XFCE? [08:01] lol, unless you are into Dubstep you will not like the sound of /dev/random or urandom lol [08:01] ejv...no scripting experience here, how could I make this script? [08:02] sorry contrapunctus, I'm assuming a basic level of scripting experience to implement that; I would man aplay, man cron, man , etc. [08:02] contrapunctus: http://brainstorm.ubuntu.com/idea/28037/ [08:02] or yea... gewgle [08:02] *DDG [08:03] contrapunctus: https://answers.launchpad.net/ubuntu/+question/39435 [08:04] If we're being creative you could also hook ACPI to libnotify; i despise audio alerts personally. [08:04] lol, just get it into conky, show the % as a bar [08:05] hi === thtanner is now known as thtanner[a] [08:07] I was using something the other day that had neither a man or info page [08:07] or a '-h' [08:08] very irritating, I can't remember what it was though [08:08] damn that's rare [08:08] yeah, I know [08:08] wat [08:08] It was a weird sense of ... "oh ... 'crap'!" [08:08] shit I need to get this right. anyone know the right lightdm value for gnome-shell no effects? [08:10] wat [08:12] nvm, found it b-ot [08:15] hhmmm [08:18] hello, anyone alive? [08:18] yeah [08:19] i'm trying to follow a tutorial and i'm a bit stuck [08:19] hey every one, please any one know an application like itunes to manage apple devices ? [08:19] Tamago-chan, what is it exactly? [08:19] http://jacqueswoodcock.tumblr.com/post/37736524399/apache-ubuntu-compiling-php-5-4-and-networking-vms [08:19] sunsetlover, sync music? [08:20] there's a part [08:20] sunsetlover, what gen ipod is it [08:20] it says ./configure \ [08:20] and below a bunch of lines [08:20] but they don't work [08:21] it says no such file or directory [08:21] Tamago-chan, hold on let me read it real quick [08:21] grime, it is ipod4 [08:21] okay [08:21] sunsetlover, have you tried gtkpod? [08:22] Tamago-chan, what have you tried? [08:23] well, i'm new to linux and ubuntu, so i don't really know what i'm doing hehe [08:23] i'm actually just coyp pasting those commands [08:23] Tamago-chan, go to the directory where all the files are and run sudo ./configure [08:23] no, i'm new in ubuntu so i don't know much about it [08:23] Hi, how can I create an Ubuntu Repository like this: http://goo.gl/oQ3c5 ? [08:24] I've read some documentation on the Ubuntu website, but it talks about adding a local repository. [08:24] sunsetlover, check in the software center type it in at the top [08:24] but i'm supposedly in the directory i'm supposed to be, let me check though [08:24] grime, ok i'll try it and get back to you [08:24] Tamago-chan, then just run sudo ./configure [08:25] i did [08:25] but then i don't know how to make the commans bellow work [08:25] like —with-libdir=lib64 \ [08:25] sunsetlover, ok let me know how it goes [08:26] oh wait.. [08:26] hi [08:26] Tamago-chan, thats only if you want those specifically running ./configure basicly runs all of them [08:26] ooh i see [08:26] what does the \ at the end do? [08:27] Exteme, sorry i dont know much on that, idk who else is on [08:27] I've got an Ubuntu VPS, and have limited hard drive space. I want to backup 6GB of data to a remote server, but I only have 3GB of space locally. What's the best way to do this? [08:27] That is just the symbol for "command carried over to next line [08:28] RobbieCrash: rsync? [08:28] hi all [08:28] RobbieCrash: define "best"? Fastest? Most b/w efficient? etc? [08:28] blergh, rsync isn't so good on OpenIndiana. [08:28] oh i see [08:28] sunsetlover: banshee support ipods, look into that [08:28] Tamago-chan, thats only if your gonna pick a packet specifically like the list they give you, unless you want to do that just run ./configure without it [08:28] best, as in what are my real options? [08:28] i'm trying to follow instruction in that script: https://dl.dropbox.com/u/29347181/rfkill.sh i changed both instance of USER NAME to my user name and set the right path to the script. however when i try do a sudo afterwards, i get that i didn't put any valid syntax (i have to reboot on an usb key to change the sudo file...) anybody has a clue please ? [08:28] thanks grime and CallingPanther [08:29] Tamago-chan: NP [08:29] RobbieCrash: I guess scp or rsync, Idk what else I'd recommend for a one time back up [08:29] or even for a repeated cumulative backup [08:29] cool, thanks [08:29] Tamago-change, no worries [08:29] sure. [08:29] Tamago-chan, haha lol [08:30] :P [08:30] michael_p, hello === rakesh_ is now known as Guest60330 [08:30] Tamago-chan so did you finish your installation? is everything cool [08:31] yes [08:31] it is [08:31] not done yet [08:31] and wats up [08:31] just using kde [08:31] it says to do "make && make install" but i have no make so i'm installing it :P [08:31] michael_p: I am as well. [08:31] Tamago-chan: sudo apt-get install build-essential [08:31] will save you a fraction of time [08:31] Tamago: what are you installing? [08:31] :P [08:32] Sorry I just got here [08:32] anyone has a clue please ? :) [08:32] thanks magn3ts [08:32] michael_p, using gnoome-panel [08:32] wat clue [08:32] i'm following a tutorial CallingPanther [08:32] i -think- i'm installing PHP right now [08:33] grime, ejv, thank you for your help [08:33] i get this error after upgrade: libxml-libxml-perl: Depends: perl (>= 5.10.0-24ubuntu4) but 5.14.2-6ubuntu2.2 is installed [08:33] it wont let me install the needed package [08:34] says to do it i must uninstall 71packages [08:34] whoa whoa whoa [08:34] you don't need to make or make install anything to get php [08:34] Tamago-chan: ^ [08:34] Tamago-chan: `sudo apt-get install php5%" [08:34] Tamago-chan: `sudo apt-get install php5`, rather, sorry. [08:34] why from source? Just for the learning experience? [08:34] regarding android devices do you know any app can make backup and restore also managing files on it [08:34] sunsetlover, try it out i know there others you can try too in case it doesnt work or something [08:34] can anyone please help me in getting a calendar in conky, I google a lot, but not able to find anything. [08:34] i'm actually just following the tutorial :P [08:35] sunsetlover: theres numerous backup apps to backup your phone [08:35] pierreN, what are you trying to do? [08:35] Tamago-chan: post tutorial please, why are you trying to install php? [08:35] c2tarun: simple way.. maye it show the output of the 'cal' command [08:35] Tamago-chan: or link to the tutorial. You can install php5 in a single command: `sudo apt-get install php5` [08:35] http://jacqueswoodcock.tumblr.com/post/37736524399/apache-ubuntu-compiling-php-5-4-and-networking-vms [08:35] If you are using Ubuntu do what magn3ts said its easier [08:35] whoo doggy, I have gained a new respect for the folks making remastered ubuntu cds [08:36] c2tarun, what are you running? [08:36] Tamago-chan: WEIRD. Honestly, don't do that. [08:36] grime, Ubuntu 12.04.2 [08:36] grime: i'm trying to follow instruction in that script: https://dl.dropbox.com/u/29347181/rfkill.sh i changed both instance of USER NAME to my user name and set the right path to the script. however when i try do a sudo afterwards, i get that i didn't put any valid syntax (i have to reboot on an usb key to change the sudo file...) anybody has a clue please ? [08:36] anyone can fix? [08:36] libxml-libxml-perl: Depends: perl (>= 5.10.0-24ubuntu4) but 5.14.2-6ubuntu2.2 is installed [08:36] Tamago-chan: I mean, if you WANT to compile from source, you can, but there is NO reason for you to do so. [08:36] to be honest, of all the things i've done today, this is the easiest so far [08:36] sounds like an error, AcidRain . why would never mind,misread [08:36] pierreN, yes but why are you running the script? for wifi? [08:36] Well, it's not hard, but it's cleaner to have apt manage it for you [08:37] probably === crow is now known as Guest29007 [08:37] Tamago-chan: ^ and then you get auto-updates, etc, security patches, that stuff. Otherwise you have to check every so often and make sure it's up to date [08:37] well, i'm learning a lot so i guess it's ok :P [08:37] c2tarun, so your using openbox on ubuntu? crazy stuff.....have you checked the conky wiki [08:37] Plus, pretty much every other guide is likely to expect a normally installed apt version. (That shouldn't matter, but stuff gets screwy sometimes) [08:38] hmm i see [08:38] grime, nope I am not using openbox on ubuntu, I guess its still default windows manager. [08:38] true dat, magn3ts . I use the webupd8 java7 ppa to keep my java up to date easily [08:38] also I am on Ubuntu 2D [08:38] if i do apt-get install php5 after this, will i have problems? [08:38] ntzrmtthihu777: I'd recommend switching to openjdk-7-jre [08:38] c2tarun: simple way.. maye it show the output of the 'cal' command in .conkyrc somthing like 'exec cal' [08:38] ntzrmtthihu777: it's in the default repos and it works with everything I use including Java IDEs and Minecraft [08:39] would, but a certain software I use refuses to work with it [08:39] Dr_Willis, I tried, its not properly aligned and its also flickering. [08:39] c2tarun, Simply edit your .conkyrc file and add the following line: ${font DejaVu Sans Mono :size=8}${exec cal -m | cut -c23-44 --complement} [08:39] Honestly it may fix anything that you accidently broke [08:39] CallingPanther: so it's better if i do? :P [08:39] c2tarun: flikering is a conky setting to change.. cal alingment. use the cal options to not put the current day in bold. [08:40] grime, nothing is getting displayed [08:40] So, I just accidentl overwrote my .xinitrc with a .xinitrc from another partition housing another distro. Is there anyway I can find the default xinitrc for 12.04.2? [08:40] * c2tarun trying Dr_Willis advice [08:40] grime: yes. [08:40] loop mount the iso [08:41] Probably, that's one of the things that makes ubuntu so user friendly, they have apt repositories for almost eveything [08:41] c2tarun, install gcal unless you have it already [08:41] iosona: make sure you don't already have the old one in the folder with an ls -a first [08:41] awww [08:41] impatience [08:41] sumna beech lol, takes forever to rebuild squashfs [08:41] c2tarun: it will need a monospaced font also i imagine. i did a sim ple conky calaner this way once ages ago [08:41] will something bad happen if i stop this make mid way? it's taking forever >_< [08:41] c2tarun, then add the New line for conkyrc; ${font DejaVu Sans Mono :size=8}${exec gcal --starting-day=monday | cut -c23-44 --complement} [08:42] Dr_Willis, is working fine now, I tried cal -h with arial font.. [08:42] grime, trying gcal now [08:42] what should I put in xinitrc if I want it to launch unity? exec unity? [08:42] yeah, the apt-lock may not lift and you will be stuck out for a bit, Little-Egg [08:42] pierreN, so your trying to set up your wifi then? [08:43] c2tarun, i havent messed with conky too much just alittle [08:44] iosona: check what the ubuntu.desktop file runs for its session - if you want the full unity desktop [08:44] yeah, same here. just modified the default Pinguy OS conky to reflect my unique partition, networking, and temp-sensor setup [08:45] does anyone know why flash player wont work with xubuntu 12.04 [08:45] ok so i think i have php5 installed properly, how do i check if it's working? [08:45] c2tarun: check out http://helmuthdu.deviantart.com/art/CONKY-COLORS-244793180 [08:45] grime, gtkpod works great with my ipod, thank you for your help, but also i need an app to manage my galaxy SIII and to make backup and restore [08:45] Dr_Willis, I saw, but conky-colors seems too advanced to me now, and I really wan't to make things work in simple way. I'll look into conky-colors after few days :) [08:46] Guest29007, its not supported anymore by adobe [08:46] Hello [08:46] c2tarun: conkys gaind a lot of new features in the last year or 2.. so theres the old way.. and the new fancy ways. ;) [08:46] so should I use an older installation? [08:47] Tamago: you could write a phpinfo page [08:47] I really don't understand why bash-completion is not enabled by default as root [08:47] CallingPanther: no easy quick way? :P [08:47] Dr_Willis, yeah :) but either its web-development, app development or fiddling with conky :) old-classics are always best to understand [08:48] sunsetlover, glad it worked, im looking into the app hold on a sec [08:48] three lines of code ....save as test.php on your server and pull it up in your browser [08:48] Dr_Willis, where can I check the available fonts in my system? and get there correct names? [08:48] Guest29007, try looking for adobe flash in synaptic [08:48] ntzrmtthihu777: because you arent ment to directly login as root. so /root/ dosent have the same. files for bash setup. [08:49] Tamago: are you using GUI or CLI [08:49] c2tarun: not sure these days. used to use gfontsel [08:49] uuhm [08:49] cli is command right? [08:49] right [08:49] CLI then [08:49] cool [08:49] command line interface = cli [08:49] okay, and then what? [08:50] Sorry, does anyone know if there is any Python gui for Ubuntu? Like something that points out your most negligent errors? I feel that just typing into Terminal is bit too hardcore for me. : / [08:50] you know how to use nano? [08:50] sunsetlover, check this link out https://play.google.com/store/apps/details?id=xcxin.filexpert&hl=en [08:50] lol, actually root does have a .bashrc and a section to uncomment to enable bashcompletion. I just don't get why you would not want a user to at least use the right commands as root instead of a total botch [08:50] CallingPanther: that's what i use, no idea how vim works [08:50] good [08:50] yeah, I use nano too, not vim [08:51] open new file [08:51] Guest29007 look for the flash plugin from adobe and install it [08:51] ok [08:52] okay im going to test it out now [08:52] line one i see where this is going >_< [08:52] line 2 phpinfo(); [08:52] line 3 ?> [08:52] ok done :P [08:53] where do i save this? [08:53] save on your server as test.php [08:53] var/www [08:53] oh ok [08:53] alrighty, rebuilding the iso, cross ya'lls fingers for me [08:53] Guest29007, did it work? [08:53] no [08:54] i saw this same php tutorial on the digitalioceans vps tutorials page.

Shutter is too heavy. [09:01] not off hand. [09:02] do i get the installer off their website? [09:02] you should be able to do it via apt-get. what version are you using?

[09:06] I was going by what someone said on the ubuntu forum [09:06] that may be the problem [09:06] Dr_Willis, nope, but it looks uniform, like every module in conky has a label :) so I put it here as well. [09:06] Guest29007 did you close and open your browser and tried it? [09:06] Yes...

[09:23] histo: also tried resolvconf [09:23] erickLee: please stop [09:23] http://www.nero.com/enu/downloads-linux4-update.php [09:23] linux being not important for commercial products as always [09:23] i dont recall nero-linux working well. or having any featurrs that k3b dident have for free [09:23] Guest29007, was that the latest or the one they recommended? [09:24] Capprentice: There is no warning on that page. [09:24] bekks. I already put the warning here. Look my prevous message. [09:24] u can try xfburn [09:24] pretty sure its the latest [09:24] Warning cames up when I try to install it on Ubuntu 12. [09:24] Capprentice: Basically, I'd use k3b. [09:24] Sorry, does anyone know if there is any Python gui for Ubuntu? Like something that points out your most negligent errors? I feel that just typing into Terminal is bit too hardcore for me. [09:24] Guest29007: What is it that you are trying to do? [09:24] Hey I know. Im using it too. But I want to see how Nero works on Ubuntu. [09:25] Capprentice: badly [09:25] Hey, given that migrating a whole lot of data is a major pain in the tush, what is the most painless way of going from, say 10.4 to 12.10 ? [09:25] does anyone know a unity-revamped package for raring ringtail? [09:25] Eh, I am not sure yet. [09:25] Capprentice: look at the system requirements.. [09:25] If you are taking abt IDE then SPE IDE is good. [09:25] I just wan to learn python. [09:25] i absolutely cannot stand the fact that unity won't minimize from launcher [09:25] it grates on my nerves [09:25] Capprentice: that app seems to be several years old. [09:25] Guest29007 try this http://get.adobe.com/flashplayer/otherversions/ [09:26] Dr_Willis: In fact, it is. :) [09:26] Capprentice: You're asking for hellp with closed source software in a Ubuntu support channel you realize that right? [09:26] latest version of nero linux is 4.0.0.0b and it was released in 13.01.2011 [09:26] LoneTrooper, you can try this: http://ubuntuforums.org/showthread.php?t=886264 [09:26] we can do noting about it [09:26] Supported Distributions ---- Ubuntu 7.04 [09:26] box1: theres unofficial variants that can [09:26] yeah, don't even try === marco is now known as Guest73905 [09:26] okay.. [09:26] I thouht this is a channel where I can talk anything about Ubuntu. Who are you atcually ? Are you moderator or something ?! [09:26] !who | Guest29007 [09:26] LoneTrooper: Latest version is supporting Ubuntu 7 - thats 2007, not 2011 :) [09:26] Guest29007: As you can see, this is a large channel. If you're speaking to someone in particular, please put their nickname in what you say (use !tab), or else messages get lost and it becomes confusing :) [09:26] thx heraclitis forr a help [09:27] Dr_Willis: I was hoping that unity-revamped package that every one seems to be talking about... the hacked unity that has all the intuitive features that stubborn and illogical devs seem to have rejected [09:27] Ben64: look at the troubleshooting questions... ;-) [09:27] Does anyone know of a tool that will show a keyboard on the screen and highlight the keys on it according to what I am typing on the physical keyboard? I want to do a screen cast, and it would be handy if the user could see what I am actually typing (like shortcuts etc). [09:27] seems to be only for version 12 and not 13 [09:27] LoneTrooper, I don't know if it'll work. Let me know [09:27] Hi [09:27] duh thx for info bekks [09:27] k k let me check what they wrote there [09:27] Capprentice: this is for ubuntu support, not for any chat relating to ubuntu. there are rules here, including but not limited to supporting packages in the official repositories only [09:27] box1: i dont use the hacked one. so no idea. [09:27] hista: sorry i'm new to ubuntu and never used an IRC channel [09:27] Dr_Willis: thanks for the attention anyway. [09:28] K git it. Leaving. [09:28] any recomendations short of a "clean install " ? [09:28] ankr: did a quicksearch keyboardcast ?? [09:28] was i too mean? [09:28] Guest29007, did it open it with apt? [09:28] https://launchpad.net/~ikarosdev/+archive/unity-revamped [09:28] that's the one I'm talking about but it snot for raring [09:28] CallingPanther: You just have to find support for nero for linux [09:28] box1: but i thought i saw it for 13.04 at omgubuntu or webupd8 [09:28] histo: i made him leave :( [09:28] histo, he's gone [09:28] Dr that is for dodged windows [09:28] Ben64: short people..... [09:28] Ben64: You just told him the truth. [09:28] grime no nothing happend [09:29] 'he cant handle the truth' [09:29] Ben64: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=1NvgLkuEtkA [09:29] could someone give me a basic differentiation between compiz, mutter & metacity ... is mutter &/or metacity reliant on compiz or are the three independent entities [09:29] i should have thrown #ubuntu-offtopic in there somewhere [09:29] Ben64: I wouldn't worry about it. [09:29] Tex_Nick: metacity is the old gnome wm.. mutter has replaced it in 2d unity/fallback [09:29] Guest29007 normally when you download it it opens up in the software center and you can install from there [09:30] hm i was tryin to get that xfce4-xfapplet-plugin to make gnome plugins working but i had some dependencies errors [09:30] compiz replaces both and has the sexy eyecandies [09:30] maybe i should this time [09:30] grime there is no download on that page [09:30] in order to have running phpmyadmin, I noticed that if I let the system istall it it does not install the latest version. So, I decided to download it manually and place it inside /var/www. In order to properly run phpmyadmin do I need to install any other application or is it just fine to download and run it via web? [09:30] Guest29007: If you are trying to install flash... sudo apt-get install flashplugin-installer [09:31] histo, hmm it's no quite what I'm looking for, but maybe I can use it to send keystrokes to two windows and then make the key-highlighting myself. Thanks :) [09:31] SAngeli: Did it come with directions on how to install it? [09:31] histo Trust me I've tried that and installed it...still not working [09:31] Dr_Willis : thanks man :) [09:31] ankr: I've seen other peopple using them in videos. Let me see what I can find [09:32] Guest29007 there should be.....pick your os then pick apt and hit the download button [09:32] SAngeli: You need an apache webserver, and a pretty fullblown php installation, working with your apache. And mysql, of course. [09:32] Guest29007: what does the about:plugins page show after you restart your browser [09:32] histo, not really that I know. I did not look nor know where to. I know that it runs fine, but I just wish to make sure and am asking to someone who has already tried it this way. [09:32] histo, bekks sorry: I forgot to mention LAMP is already installed [09:32] histo, I appreciate - I'll also go searching myself ;) [09:33] SAngeli: phpmyadmin is all php, so you can put it anywhere web accessible [09:33] SAngeli: Is there A reason for the upgrade? [09:33] histo, just to have the latest version. nothing else. [09:33] grime nvm i got it [09:33] Ben64, thank you. [09:33] SAngeli: http://docs.phpmyadmin.net/en/latest/setup.html [09:33] grime which shpuld I pick? [09:34] Guest29007, linux 32 bit then ubuntu apt [09:34] Ben64: you still have to set it up [09:34] histo: well yeah [09:34] Needs access to mysql etc... blah [09:34] histo, excellent. Thank you for this. I will read it carefully. [09:34] grime, Guest29007: why downloading from website? [09:35] histo its shows flash plyer and splash plugin [09:35] ankr: Key status Monitor [09:35] Ben64, long story [09:35] Guest29007: what's not working then? [09:36] histo, seems to be exactly what I am looking for, thanks alot! [09:36] ankr: key-mon [09:36] ankr: is the package name [09:37] Ben64, everything is installed but still it doest work [09:37] is it still true that libdvdcss is an illegal hack according to the dmca? [09:37] grime: but flash is a big potential vulnerability, and installing that way skips security updates [09:37] ankr: https://duckduckgo.com/?q=screencast+keyboard+linux is how I found it if you are interested [09:37] heraclitis: probably [09:38] histo, thanks again :) [09:38] Ben64, that's just stupid. I use it, and if that makes me a criminal, so be it. [09:38] heraclitis: or don't buy dvds [09:38] Ben64, true very true..................the synaptic packaged is installed im not sure why it doesnt work [09:40] heraclitis: https://www.videolan.org/legal.html there is a section on libdvdcss === crow is now known as Guest21489 [09:41] Hey this is guest 29007 [09:42] grime my comp froze [09:43] Guest21489, so still no avail? idk if what you did earlier by with the name changed affected the flash [09:43] Hello, I'm Dylan. I screwed up good, let me explain what happend. I was using windows for a long time, got a blue screen of death. I smashed my screen, but luckely I had the chance to dualboot ubuntu. Now, is it possible to get windows back on ubuntu? I have a windows 7 disk. Thanks in advance. [09:43] DylanCl: Just install Windows as usual. You may have to repartition before. [09:43] DylanCl: You want to install windows7 dualboot with ubuntu? [09:43] Guest21489, try restarting X [09:43] grime: yeah I think I downloaded the wrong one [09:43] histo: thank you. [09:44] Well, I want to remove ubuntu and windows, and then only install windows [09:44] Because ubuntu tells me I only have 400MB space left [09:44] and I think that is because I still have windows on [09:44] grime: i'm going to remove and reinstall the one you recommended [09:45] Is that possible? I don't know [09:45] Guest21489, but if you checked your about:plugins and if flash was listed then that means you have it it might not be the right one since you downloaded 11.2 something [09:46] Guest21489, from what i know adobe dropped support for linux...im using adobe flash 10 not 11 but thats just me [09:46] if you got windows installles you can just remove ubuntu DylanCl [09:47] grime: upgrade! [09:47] Windows gives me a blue screen of death [09:47] and with a cracked screen, I can't do system recovery [09:47] DylanCl: So you no longer want ubuntu on your hard drive? [09:47] I kinda only want ubuntu [09:47] Because so far, I have no problems with it [09:48] * Dr_Willis is cobfused then [09:48] DylanCl: Then why do you want windows? [09:48] grime well i gtg thanks for trying to help [09:48] DylanCl: What is your native language? [09:48] Dutch [09:48] Ben64, to 11? what version tho [09:48] Hmm [09:48] I think I explained it wrong [09:48] Sorry for that [09:48] so.. how did you install ubunti DylanCl [09:48] grime: use the repository, latest is 11.2.202.273 [09:48] the windows installer [09:48] installed it before the blue screen of death [09:49] DylanCl: Thats wubi then. You cant get rif of Windows then. [09:49] DylanCl: amazed that it still works.. [09:49] *rid [09:49] Dr_Willis: why it boots ubuntu still [09:49] Dr_Willis: It needs a working windowds bootloader. [09:49] Dr_Willis: independant of windows [09:49] DylanCl: if you want only ubuntu, the best way would be to get a new ubuntu cd/dvd/usb and install ubuntu fresh [09:49] The bootloader is the only thing it's using [09:49] hmm, ok. [09:49] DylanCl: anything on your windows or ubuntu install you want to keep? [09:49] Ben64, i dont really care.....im not really big on it....what i need is wine to improve [09:50] Another question, is it possible to remove everything on my ubuntu OS [09:50] grime: but theres big security problems in your version, and why wine? [09:50] DylanCl: https://help.ubuntu.com/community/MigrateWubi [09:50] On windows, not really, neither on ubuntu [09:51] DylanCl: id make a ubuntu live cd or flash and just reinstall then [09:51] Ben64 i need to run Ableton and other DAW's for music production,, i dont want to use windows but wine doesnt handle it that well [09:51] Hmm [09:51] If I install 12.10 will it overwrite 12.04? [09:52] DylanCl: you can choose to do that [09:52] Ben64, oh wait i think i am running the latest, im using chrome not firefox and its built in hahaha [09:52] grime: What version of ubuntu are you running? [09:52] Sorry guys had router issue....are we still on the nero topic? [09:52] I'll try that [09:52] So [09:52] CallingPanther: you missed it by like 25 mins [09:53] had to fix my router..... === cl0akd is now known as cloakd [09:53] I'm not sure how to do this [09:53] First do everything Wubi related [09:53] So did they get it working or not? [09:53] and then get the disk? [09:53] Hi, I have ubuntu 12.04 with gnome shell installed, but everytime I boot up: either characters are missing and when I open the gnome shell launcher the background with look distorted. It's fixed when I reload gnome shell by running alt+f2 and input 'r' - but I want to have a permanent fix for this [09:54] CallingPanther: no, i made them mad and they left [09:54] does anyone know what could be wrong? [09:54] lol [09:54] DylanCl: you can use ubuntu to make an ubuntu usb, then install from it [09:54] histo 12.04 [09:54] and do I still need to use wubi then? [09:54] http://thecodinglove.com/post/43481655487/when-after-a-big-update-i-test-the-new-site-with-ie Is this actually true? [09:55] DylanCl: nope [09:55] grime: You can install wine from PPA if you need a newer version. [09:55] DylanCl: https://help.ubuntu.com/community/MigrateWubi [09:55] I already am on that page [09:55] DylanCl: or install new [09:55] DylanCl: those are your options [09:55] viderbit: uh, don't post irrelevant blogs in here please [09:56] So, just install ubuntu 12.10 on an usb [09:56] and then what? (sorry for all the questions, pretty new to ubuntu) [09:56] histo i have the recent one but it still not good enough....too much latency....but it i run it in windows works great....same computer [09:56] DylanCl: not install on usb, but put the installer on it. either using unetbootin or by imaging the iso to the drive [09:56] ok [09:57] grime: You can't find an opensource application to accomplish the same thing? [09:58] Hi I have taken static ip from my ISP which is connected to my remote pc via DLink Router. How can I configure to access server running on my remote PC? [09:58] hi [09:58] vedic: set up port forwarding on the router [09:58] Ben64, I'm installing the iso right now [09:58] Dr_Willis: I don't have port forwarding on this router. But I do have Routing option [09:58] in case someone knows an answer here is my question post http://ubuntuforums.org/showthread.php?t=2121506 (duplicate here http://askubuntu.com/questions/262911/how-do-i-force-ubuntu-router-to-send-all-data-through-tor-and-vpn-for-anonymity) [09:59] histo yeah i was using ardour but the audio quality isnt the same....so far thats the only one that comes close [09:59] Routing -> [Default Gateway, Static Routing, Policy Routing, RIP] [09:59] vedic: id double check that.. ive seen very few (ok none) routers that cant do port forwarding.. [09:59] vedic: theres a port forwarding web site with all sorts of guides [10:00] vedic: or put the pc in the 'dmz' of the router. but thats not as secure [10:00] Well Ben64, I can't install the iso [10:00] histo im looking for an older version of ableton to run with wine so i can still run linux without having any attachment with windows === asus is now known as Guest20708 [10:00] because I don't have the disk space for it [10:00] and I don't know what to delete [10:00] DylanCl: start with apt-get clean [10:01] DylanCl: start with 'sudo apt-get clean' command in a terminal [10:01] Too bad that person with Nero problem let I got it working fine.....LOL [10:01] DylanCl: do you have another usb drive or something [10:01] DylanCl: you could save the iso to the windows drive also... [10:01] CallingPanther: its not supported in this channel anyway :) plus its 5 years old and not as cool as k3b [10:01] apt-get clean [10:01] E: Could not open lock file /var/cache/apt/archives/lock - open (13: Permission denied) [10:01] E: Unable to lock the download directory [10:01] histo on a side note do you know how i would port ubuntu to say a diff architecture like ppc [10:01] CallingPanther: does it have any actual features... ;) [10:01] I have a 2 gb USB [10:02] The site I followed was from 2011 [10:02] grime: what does ableton do? [10:02] grime: google is your friend :P https://wiki.ubuntu.com/PowerPCDownloads/ [10:02] DylanCl: use sudo with the command.. and your windows install is on a bigger hd.. you could download the iso to that partition.. if your wubi install is too small [10:02] Ahhh it is a demo version now that I double checked [10:03] CallingPanther: heh. it was so hyped when it came out... and such a letdown [10:03] Dr_Willis: does wubi still let you mount the windows partition? [10:03] how do I download it to that Dr_Willis [10:03] wubi auto mounts the host fs somewhere [10:03] !usb | DylanCl [10:03] DylanCl: For information about installing Ubuntu from USB flash drives, see https://help.ubuntu.com/community/Installation/FromUSBStick - For a persistent live USB install, see: https://wiki.ubuntu.com/LiveUsbPendrivePersistent [10:03] I never liked Nero even when I had winblows [10:03] DylanCl: tell the browser to save it there.. [10:04] CallingPanther: Is there a reason you are using nero? [10:04] DylanCl: i just dont know where its mounted to.. /host/ perhaps [10:04] I just installed to see if I could...lol [10:04] DylanCl: your windows files should all bee in /host/ [10:04] I use brasero [10:04] Hi, how can I create an Ubuntu Repository like this: http://goo.gl/oQ3c5 ? [10:04] i think [10:04] ok [10:04] Ben64 i know theres already one but i wanted to do it myself, i have a project in mind [10:04] You're right [10:05] So just install it to there [10:05] and it should work? [10:05] SAVE it to there.. [10:05] grime: http://alternativeto.net/software/ableton-live/?platform=linux [10:05] thats not installing it [10:05] oh [10:05] save it to there [10:05] sorry [10:05] then use the live usb maker tools to make a bootable live usb to install from [10:06] or burn a dvd [10:06] backup stuff you want to keep to your ubuntu one account if you want also. ;) [10:06] histo like i said ardour comes close but still not there yet https://www.ableton.com/en/live/new-in-9/ [10:07] grime: well then I guess you are stuck dualbooting or running through a virtual machine [10:07] winehq says it's "Platinum"\ [10:07] histo yeah : / .......someday [10:08] Guess I will go back to my channel where I am the only one there...lol [10:08] Ben64 it works on wine but once in a while crashes or theres major latency [10:08] @grime: why would you like to use OS for things, that simply work best on another system. Just use the system that does your job best [10:09] i am perfoming a command on several files (unoconv -f csv *.ods)...but command stopst finds any error...how can i force command to keep modifying files ignoring errors? [10:10] Dr_Willis: I have the .iso file, what now? [10:10] burtonium, because i love linux and everything about it like troubleshooting and installing from source....its great! cli is the best i dont wanna step backwards [10:10] then use the live usb maker tools to make a bootable live usb to install from [10:10] DylanCl: ^^^^ [10:10] live usb maker tools? [10:10] i forget its name.. disk-creator or somthing [10:10] ...is that something like daemon tools on windows [10:10] grime: May notice better perfomance in a virtual machine if your processor has vt technology [10:11] !install [10:11] Ubuntu can be installed in lots of ways.

So I use many different systems for different tasks. I even don't use same linux for desktop and servers, etc .. You will save yourself lot of pain if you chose right system for right task ;) But if your intension is more of a exploring, what you can do with your linux, then I understand you completly. I was like this back in time ... ;) [10:12] I don't know about grime, but I cannot use Windows anymore, it feels so clunky and difficult to get simple things done [10:13] Dr_Willis: Startup Disk Creator? [10:13] DylanCl: try it and see.. sounds close [10:13] burtonium: You realize you can use to autocomplete names if you didn't type that @ symbol first in most clients [10:13] silly twitter user... @'s are for ops.. [10:14] ;P [10:14] hahaha, i even don't have twitter account :D LOL [10:14] burtonium, yeah i use like 10 diff kinds its all just real great....ived tried the easiest to install and the hardest to install, the exp is awesome but im never going back to anything else [10:14] i got a twitter account.. and i can barely read/understand most of the twits im reading...

[10:15] grime: i use a terminal for just about everything [10:16] is there a way to execute a batch command ignoring errors??? [10:16] is there a ubuntu chat channel [10:16] uban2: #ubuntu-offtopic for most stuff [10:16] grime, yeah.. i bought a new lappy with windows 8 on it.. after a few weeks.. i formated it and tossed ubuntu gnome remix on it [10:16] thanks Ben64 [10:17] uban2, i believe its #ubuntu-chat or #ubuntu-offtopic [10:17] i believe the chat one just redirects to the offtopic channel [10:17] hmm or not [10:17] ubuntu-chat is invite onlly [10:17] Ben64 same here i love cli power haha still trying to memorize some commads but other than that i use it in place on synaptic [10:17] l057c0d3r: or regiestered nicks only [10:17] Dr_Willis can I ask about why my screensaver will not lock when I am running 12.10?

[10:21] panorain, whats good [10:21] SON takes like 2 mminutes after running to lock dang [10:21] grime HI! [10:21] panorain, when i used it lxde there was a require password option in the settings menu [10:21] DylanCl: works? you mean the usb flash boots properly? [10:21] I don't know, I just mean that it picks up the .iso and my usb stick [10:22] now it asks me to make a startup disk [10:22] and also an option on how soon to require password after screensaver [10:22] Dr_Willis : lol ... you ARE old then ... i'm impressed the files have survived this long ;-) [10:22] 1057c0d3r it locks after 2 mins running very good I am going to try Queens now [10:22] DylanCl: so you read the install docs site...and made a bootable usb with that tool? [10:22] Tex_Nick: these were the original boxs and floppies [10:22] No, I just looked at what you said. You told me to install Disk Creator, googled a bit, found a tutorial about it [10:22] http://www.ubuntu.com/download/help/create-a-usb-stick-on-ubuntu [10:23] Dr_Willis : rofl ... that's GREAT !!! === rofl is now known as Tux [10:23] it puts the iso on the usb the right way.. then you boot the usb... then you install from that to the hard drive [10:23] panorain yo [10:23] panorain, hows the new ubuntu treating you [10:24] whats wrong with startup disk creator that comes with ubuntu.. [10:24] is there a way to execute a batch command ignoring errors??? [10:24] its sad when you rediscover an old app you used for ages.. and notice that it has features missing in newer apps. [10:24] grime i'm using 12.10 with gnome classic Tex_Nick is awesome help [10:24] ususally with the --force [10:24] or -f [10:24] grime Dr_Willis is awesome also [10:24] but not all commands have that flag [10:24] grime I want my 8.04 back [10:24] Dr_Willis : that would be 5.25 floppies ? [10:25] Tex_Nick: amigas used 880k 3.25s i recall [10:25] panorain, very cool thats what the community is for...we help each other and we grow together [10:26] panorain: what for.. all you have been doing all day is playing with themes and other nonproductive stuff. :) you do any real work with the pc? [10:26] ah ok ... same media though ... just smaller diameter ;-) [10:26] panorain, yeah i liked 8.04 but then i ran 10.10 and was very happy, now im using 12.04 and i cant complain [10:27] anyone got msoffice going for ubuntu [10:27] heh.. 12.10 with gnome-shell and ton of extensions to make it usable.. besides lock feature not working correctly.... its great [10:27] well ill see yall later! peace! [10:27] 13.04 has some nice features getting added also [10:27] michael_p, openoffice, libreoffice [10:27] i'm trying to share my internet connection with my Palm TX, and it seems i'm stuck at how to offer PPP to my palm. i found pppd, but despite the "d" it seems that is more of a client for connecting to a PPP server, not itself a PPP server. can anyone give me some hints? Search engines only shows me help about tethering, but I'm looking for the other way around. [10:27] Dr_Willis, off hand what's some of the new features they are working on? [10:27] next gnome-shell also seems to be getting some neat stuff [10:27] when I share a directory with files inside the directory is visible from other PC's but none of the files are visible ... why!? [10:28] that would be good to know about.. im going to have to start googling :-p [10:28] l057c0d3r: just from skimming omgubuntu - smarter 'everything' ;) [10:28] l00pback: and quicklist-window switching [10:29] oops; ) wrong nick [10:29] Dr_Willis: It gave me this error: Checksums do not match. Retry? [10:30] your download was currupted most likely DylanCl [10:31] What should I do? [10:31] redownload.. would be the logical thing... [10:32] and hope it wasent yout hd failing that caused windows to bsod... [10:32] DylanCl, while downloading into a new file, you could also checksum the old image, to make sure if it was really the download that got corrupted. [10:32] Dr_Willis : do you know if there emulators for those amigas, comodores & apples ... for linux [10:32] Tex_Nick: they exist.. i got amiga emulator for my android phone.. ;) [10:33] just got no real need for running an amiga any more [10:33] Is there a Steam 64bit? [10:33] 32bit woeks fine zAo^ for 64bit users [10:34] What do you mean with that Sven_vB, checksum the old image? [10:34] grime I am using 12.10 with gnome-classic [10:34] Dr_Willis: I know, bit it wants to install lots of extra packages I dont want :) So there is no 64bit version? [10:34] zAo^: not that ive seen [10:35] Dr_Willis: thanks === ntzrmtthihu777|a is now known as ntzrmtthihu777 [10:35] you are worried about perhaps 100mb of packages to run a 3+gb game.. ;) [10:36] goint to play tf2 just to get a tux item. ;) saw several in here doing that last week [10:37] lol. hope for a shell quickie: I have a folder with albums from a certain artist, named with this setup "year - album", quick way to switch to this format? "album (year)" ? [10:37] DylanCl, from skiming the log it sounds like you have downloaded an ISO file. wit checksumming i meant determining the MD5 or SHA-1 of your downloaded ISO, for then comparing it with what the download site says it should be. if they differ, your download was broken. if they are the same, it was some other problem. [10:38] ntzrmtthihu777: ive used 'qmv' and a text editor/macro to do complex renameing in the past. [10:38] qmv, not familiar with that one === lawrence is now known as Guest87597 [10:38] you know what, i think I can do this... just a sec [10:38] it puts all the filenames in a list in a text editor... you edit names save/quit it renames them [10:39] handy for big comples renameing [10:39] complex [10:39] I bet I can do it with an awk generated script [10:39] !info renameutils [10:39] renameutils (source: renameutils): Programs to make file renaming easier. In component universe, is optional. Version 0.12.0-1 (quantal), package size 123 kB, installed size 645 kB [10:39] No idea what you're talking about Sven_vB, I really don't know anything about ubuntu and computers. Should I just reinstall the iso? [10:40] DylanCl: dedownload... [10:40] redownload [10:40] Ugh, I just installed the latest ATI drivers (13.1) for my HD4000 card and now gnome shell is not loading anymore, I get the gnome classic look [10:40] any idea why this happened? [10:40] before I was using the open source driv ers [10:40] ooo nice, I already use gprenamed for simpler renaming [10:41] How can I switch programmatically out of Xorg and into one of the ttys? [10:41] I've never used Ubuntu Server before, but I have a spare home computer (4gigs of ram, 500gb hd), would server be the best option to put a sort of home file sharing database? [10:41] For me to access files from anywhere (school, etc)? [10:41] shwouchk: ctrl+alt+F [10:41] shwouchk: ctrl+alt+F1 [10:41] teddxk: ssh and scp and sftp [10:41] ntzrmtthihu777: Programmatically means without user input [10:42] when I share a directory with files inside the directory is visible from other PC's but none of the files are visible ... why!? [10:42] derp, lol. [10:42] actually it does not, but if that's what you meant my bad lol [10:42] teddxk, check out http://www.freenas.org/ [10:42] Dr_Willis please help me mount my ghostBSD drive through grub during my boot on 12.10 [10:44] hi, i'm getting this when I try to sign CoC: gpg: can't open `UbuntuCodeofConduct-1.1.txt': No such file or directory [10:44] Dr_Willis: That's a good simple solution, although I might not have access to CLI's on my school computers:( [10:44] Dulcin: Looking into it now [10:44] do I need to install any additional applications/utilities to make this work? [10:44] Extreme: that means the file doesn't exist [10:45] Extreme: you need to download UbuntuCodeofConduct-1.1.txt [10:45] jrib: yes, I downloaded the file. [10:45] ntzrmtthihu777: *pressing* Alt+Ctrl+F1 is not user input? [10:46] Extreme: ok, now you must either be in the directory where you downloaded or provide the correct path to its location in your command [10:46] teddxk: 4 gigs of RAM is more than enough to get started on Ubuntu Server; check out vsftpd, and easy to configure ftp service, so you can access files remotely. [10:46] jrib: nvm, wget -O- https://launchpad.net/codeofconduct/1.1/+download | gpg --clearsign | xsel --clipboard worked [10:46] jrib: thanks. [10:53] teddxk: You'd better check out SFTP, as FTP is to be considered old and insecure nowadays. [10:53] teddxk: Basically, all you need to have for SFTP is a working SSH server. [10:55] Dr_Willis: New download, still same error [10:56] is there any other way to get more disk space on my ubuntu [10:56] DylanCl: sinc your windows disk in not working.. delete stuff from it like its swap file. [10:57] bekks: FTP supports SSL/TLS [10:57] or he can boot into windows, and use unetbootin from there, to make the usb stick [10:57] you may want to use the torrents DylanCl [10:57] !dual boot [10:57] Dual boot instructions: x86/AMD64: https://help.ubuntu.com/community/DualBoot/Windows - Macs: https://help.ubuntu.com/community/MacBookPro https://help.ubuntu.com/community/YabootConfigurationForMacintoshPowerPCsDualBoot [10:57] Blue screen of death on windows startup kepler [10:57] also have a cracked screen on this laptop because I raged [10:58] where is the authorized_keys file for open_ssh [10:58] snodo: .ssh perhaps [10:58] /home/$USER/.ssh/ [10:58] thanks [10:59] please don't raise children DylanCl ;) [10:59] ejv: I only get mad at computers, no worrys.

[11:00] Hmm [11:01] I think i'm going to forget ubuntu, since it's not working [11:01] Now, I have another question [11:01] I have a disk with windows 7 on it, is there any way to install it without using BIOS and such? [11:01] * eaglewing I tried upgrading ubuntu 12.04 to 12.10, but it says that 'unity' won't be able to run on my laptop, so I cancelled the upgrade. If I upgraded anyway, is it possible for me to boot to a point where I will be able to install lxde? [11:01] Because I can't acces it with a cracked screen [11:01] DylanCl: ask in #windows [11:02] i dont see why you need bios.... [11:02] Eagleman, yes [11:02] Most of the tutorials I've seen is with bios [11:02] lol [11:02] tutorial for what?... you boot the disk... [11:03] you boot to the power button to hijack the bios to evacuate the hard disk for lift off [11:03] Is anyone here familar with awk [11:04] im wondering if you dont have a deeper hardware/hd issue.. [11:05] ^ that, especially with the cracked screen :P [11:05] BlackWeb: a lot of people ... state your question in detail :) [11:05] well === deadbeef_ is now known as deadbeef [11:05] it started after the cracked screen so you may be right [11:06] K Creating a shell script to process multiple files from right clicking on them, but my problem is need to figure out how to seperate the files selected so that I can process them I'll send what I have [11:06] man is familiar with awk, man awk [11:06] quoted=$(echo "$NAUTILUS_SCRIPT_SELECTED_FILE_PATHS" | sed 's/ /\\ /g') [11:06] var=$(quoted | awk 'BEGIN {FS = "\n" } { printf "\"%s\" ", $1 }') [11:06] echo $quoted > Test1.txt [11:06] echo $var > Test2.txt [11:06] BlackWeb: Please don't flood; use http://paste.ubuntu.com to paste; don't use Enter as punctuation. [11:06] i got a book on awk. :) [11:07] hi guys [11:07] hi, I had a dual-boot system with ubuntu 12.10 32-bit and Win7. I tried to upgrade ubuntu to 64-bit by installing it on the same partition as before. Now when I try to start my system I get a grub> prompt without any visible errors. how do I fix this? [11:07] So trying to sperate the two [11:07] a book on awk, sounds about as fun as a root canal [11:07] the Echo test 1 & echo test 2 is testing that its working [11:08] BlackWeb: whats your problem? [11:08] heres my results from Test 1 & Test 2 [11:08] BlackWeb: look for example nautilus scripts perhaps. there used to be a website full of them [11:08] /home/infinity/Desktop/Samba /home/infinity/Desktop/AutoCad\ Install\ Instructions [11:08] So my script is printing out the 2 files I selected, How do i get it two where it seperates them to process the files [11:09] I'm using var=$(quoted | awk 'BEGIN {FS = "\n" } { printf "\"%s\" ", $1 }') to try to do this but no luck? [11:10] i have a problem [11:10] ciao [11:10] i downloaded the ubuntu server 12.04, wrote it with dd on a usb-key [11:10] !list [11:10] kenshiro1: No warez here! This is not a file sharing channel (or network); read the channel topic. If you're looking for information about me, type « /msg ubottu !bot ». If you're looking for a channel, see « /msg ubottu !alis ». [11:11] serp_: Have you tried booting from a live CD/USB, going into gparted and looking at your swap partition? [11:11] now the bootloader is working, but before the first kernel-message appears the computer is rebooting? [11:11] NeoColossus: not really. I am doing that now. what should I look for_ [11:12] \q [11:12] Is there a way in ubuntu to automaticly pick up the external monitor on the startupscreen? Where you can dualboot and such [11:12] serp_: Look for the location. It sounds like your broke your MBR, which means your boot sequence isn't processing correctly. [11:12] the swap partition is ther [11:12] Every time I open evolution it opens the add accounts menu [11:12] serp_: Typically a wipe of the partition and a clean install would fix that by creating a new MBR. [11:13] serp_: The swap is formatted for 32bit though, no? [11:13] How can I make a window bigger than the screen can fit? e.g. I tried wmctrl -r Minutor -e 1,0,0,3000,3000 without much success [11:13] is ubuntu 12.04 better then 12.10 [11:14] NeoColossus: are there different swaps partitions for 32 and 64 bit? [11:14] Hey guys, I'm having some trouble with my graphics drivers. Whenever I try to launch minecraft, it and says it cannot initiate GLX. How can I resolve this problem? [11:14] it crashes and* [11:14] How can I force an unused disk to be spinned down? [11:15] serp_: Yes! The way the boot process refers to the next file/program in the boot sequence depends on the kernel the OS is formated for. [11:15] serp_: The swap holds all of the bootup programs to bring you to the actual OS. [11:16] what [11:16] are you trolling? [11:16] that is not what a swap partition is [11:17] NeoColossus: Thats not true at all. [11:18] indeed NeoColossus, you are mistaken. [11:18] hi, any recommended command/steps to reset network after notebook wake up? [11:19] zAo^, by unplug the power connector :) [11:19] Pro-E not install in Ubuntu. How can I install? [11:20] bis0n: its in my laptop ;) [11:20] NeoColossus: The bootloader loads the kernel image into system memory, at which point it instructs the CPU to run the image. When the kernel is loaded and run, it initializes all kernel-specific data structures and tasks, and then and only then, begins "init". [11:20] mrmaharshi, Pro-E??? [11:20] have you guys seen a music player that plays *.mka files? [11:21] foobar2000 is the only one i have seen but i am trying to switch to a native player if possible. [11:21] zAo^, just unmount the part, but a disk not spin when not used [11:21] bis0n: Its not even mounted :S [11:21] NeoColossus: And, in addition, the swap area is only used for paging, and as a special task, for storing the suspend-to-disk data when suspending to disk. Thats, btw, it the reason for having as much swap as system RAM. [11:21] NeoColossus: At which point, init is responsible for loading filesystems, executing start up procedures and scripts, services, etc. Finally, after init is completed, it activates terminals and virtual consoles, and attaches itself to agetty. [11:21] Knowledge is power. [11:22] zAo^, so, the disk not spinning... sure [11:22] ejv: s/agetty/a tty/ [11:22] bis0n, Pro-E is a 3D modeling software. I want to install this software in Ubuntu. Its available in .exe file type. [11:22] bis0n: It is actually; the other one is an SSD [11:23] I didn't typo bekks :/ [11:23] bekks: what happens if you do suspend-to-disk with a full swap then? [11:23] serp_: Then, most likely, suspend to disk will fail with an out of memory killer error. [11:23] Good morning all, I need to allocate more ram to Java, but need to run the 64 bit version to go higher than a gig. Can I run the 64 bit JDK in a 32 bit Ubuntu installation? [11:24] mrmaharshi, you can't install exe program, you can try with wine but it's not perfect. the best way is an virtual machine with windows (virtualbox / vmware ...) [11:24] zAo^: see sdparm/hdparm [11:24] serp_: And having a full swap empowers other problems rather than being unable to swap. [11:24] llutz: thnx [11:24] zAo^, so, some data is on use... you have to find what data is used on it === ubuntu is now known as Guest69215 [11:25] wildc4rd: you cannot run a 64bit JDK on a 32bit host. Sorry. [11:26] ejv, I thought that was the case, but worth asking before I reinstall, lol [11:26] wildc4rd, the problem is the kernel, you can't! you have to install a 64bits system [11:27] bis0n: lsof doesnt show anything [11:27] bis0n: The problem is the kernel, at first glance, at at second glance, all the missing 64bit userland tools. [11:27] wildc4rd: of course, the exception, is virtualized hardware support; running a VM [11:27] wildc4rd, you can save your home part and don't loose anything, really simple to change system with ubuntu [11:27] gosh [11:27] There's no sound! [11:27] interesting idea, run a 64 bit VM on a 32 bit host, lol [11:27] bekks, of course... [11:28] Please help. [11:28] wildc4rd: Which works fine, under the premise your CPU supports the virtualization of a 64bit guest. [11:28] I use Ubuntu 12.10 64-bit with Unity. [11:28] wildc4rd: virtualbox supports it === jack is now known as Guest29475 [11:28] wildc4rd: there are guidelines, you need a 64bit processor with hardware virtualization support, VT-X or AMD-V, BIOS enabled HV, etc. [11:28] I lost my sound... Yesterday it worked I think. [11:28] wildc4rd, yes possible [11:28] bis0n, is that an option at the start of the install? I'm sure I remember seeing it before! [11:28] I just installed gnome-shell and changed the login manager to GDM. === slacks is now known as slkzzzz__ [11:28] and its an i7, so batter have 64 bit support, lol [11:28] better* [11:29] wildc4rd: http://www.virtualbox.org/manual/ch03.html#intro-64bitguests [11:29] wildc4rd, if your home part is serparate it's simple, just choose "manually partition" ... [11:29] Saying something "broke" without any details, logs, hardware information, nothing, is a poor start to getting yourself support Catbuntu. === slkzzzz__ is now known as slacks [11:29] You ask me for the information. [11:29] wildc4rd, if not you have to copy the whole home directory to an empty partition before [11:29] !sound [11:29] If you're having problems with sound, click the Volume applet, then Sound Preferences, and check your Volume, Hardware, Input, and Output settings. If that fails, see https://help.ubuntu.com/community/Sound - https://help.ubuntu.com/community/SoundTroubleshooting - http://alsa.opensrc.org/DmixPlugin - For playing audio files, see !players and !mp3.

That's not why we're all here. ;) [11:30] zAo^, strange [11:30] If I try to run alsamixer it says "file not found" [11:30] bis0n, I'll do that anyway, have separate mounted drives I can back up on [11:30] zAo^, maybe a bad driver of sata controller but seem strange [11:31] no ideas?

[11:45] bis0n, no particular reason, I thought the partition is mounting at the same point anyway so may be there is a way of mounting it to same point without fstab [11:45] zAo^, this seem to be ok, the disk stop when he can [11:45] bekks, ok, thanks :) [11:46] bis0n: Is there a way to find the process that causes it to spin up? [11:46] except for lsof since its not mounted [11:46] zAo^: Is that the best driver for the HD4850? I'm more concerned about which driver (closed or open source) has better OpenGL support [11:46] SilvereX: for games use the closed, for desktop usage, use the opensource [11:46] bis0n, what's wrong with my options? [11:46] UUID=487eb476-df93-4d2f-b08e-019d9473196a /home/anonymous/docs ext4 defaults,user 0 2 [11:47] It's a seperate partition wih documents which I share with other OSes. [11:47] zAo^, normally the disk don't have to stop spinning too many times, this can cause damages [11:47] bis0n: Yeah, I know but it spins up/down every 5 mins now [11:47] zAo^: That's where the problem lies. I try to generate a distribution specific package of the 13.1 legacy drivers, it generates the package, tells me it's placed it in my current directory, then tells me an error occurred and the file disappears [11:48] SilvereX: what error? [11:49] Grabbe, try replace users by defaults [11:49] zAo^: powermanagement mode on the disk [11:49] bekks, the partition is already mounted right now, will there be any problem if I add entry in /etc/fstab without umounting it? [11:50] c2tarun: no === HelenCrowley is now known as Catbuntu [11:50] ciao [11:50] zAo^, ok, thanks [11:50] histo: which command can change that? [11:50] !list [11:50] bernardo: No warez here! This is not a file sharing channel (or network); read the channel topic. If you're looking for information about me, type « /msg ubottu !bot ». If you're looking for a channel, see « /msg ubottu !alis ». [11:50] zAo^: I believe that would controlled by kernel. So maybe somewhere in /sys [11:50] histo: thanks [11:51] zAo^, you can change it with sudo hdparm -B 254 /dev/sda but I say you: it is a bad idea [11:51] c2tarun: No. [11:51] your power management is correct with 37 in value [11:51] bis0n: why is it a bad idea? [11:51] bekks, do I have to create /media/Movies directory also, or it may get created automatically? === lawrence is now known as Guest40513 === mpmc|Away is now known as mpmc [11:52] zAo^, because if the disk always stop / start / stop you will damage it [11:52] c2tarun: You should not mount things to /media/ from the fstab - /media is used by the automounter. [11:52] c2tarun: create it [11:52] bekks, that's what I was asking, is there anyway to configure that automounter on startup? [11:52] zAo^, and loose perfs [11:52] anyone knows this one: I connect daily to different AP's with the same ssid. they do have other passwords and sometimes encryption is different. Can and will they enumerate over the wpa_supplicant or just stop when found first match? === pak is now known as Guest70803 [11:53] c2tarun: You were asking something totally different. [11:53] what is a recommended program for creating usb startup disks [11:53] c2tarun: And I am sorry, I never configured the automounter, since I dont use it. [11:54] wildc4rd, unetbootin? [11:54] BrainBug[BE], I think just stop when found first match [11:54] wildc4rd, startupdiskcreator is default in ubuntu. [11:54] wildc4rd, unetbootin [11:55] BrainBug[BE]: may there's an option to connect to a MAC adress in stead of a SSID? [11:55] zAo^: http://pastebin.com/vr0icGxU [11:55] bekks, sorry if I sounded different, I didn't mean to. ok, can you please tell me a proper place to mount this partition? because my /home is already in different partition , will it be Ok to mount /dev/sda4 to /home/somefolder? My home gets mounted at startup [11:56] c2tarun: mkdir /mnt/mydisk [11:56] bekks, ok thanks :) [11:56] SilvereX: my guess would be to install execstack [11:56] i right click on the desktop and click create launcher, nothing happens, i've been messing with stuff what have i un-installed? [11:58] zAo^, Good point, however, that is as good as impossible as there are too many... (20 different a month or so). [11:58] BrainBug[BE]: arg. My guess would be that the first will be used [11:59] hi do i copy my ssh public key into ~.ssh/authorized_keys folder? or is the authorized_keys a text file with the keys? [11:59] snodo: ~.ssh/authorized_keys is a file, not a folder. [12:00] bekks: thanks alot,got it now [12:00] zAo^: Installed execstack but I still get the same error. I'm able to install the driver if I don't generate the distribution specific package, but when I restart my computer it boots me into command line [12:01] zAo^, I've used netcfg before that could do the job, I'll try searching for an alternative :-) [12:01] SilvereX: what does /var/log/Xorg.0.log say? [12:01] BrainBug[BE]: or just a network manager with GUI? :$ [12:02] <_NeTstat_-b> Hey everyone! First time here. Anyone know about installing 12.10 on Vmware workstation 9? I installed both 12.10 and 12.04 and everything works fine but as soon as I start the virtual session and login, the graphics do not seem to work. I get the normal background but the sidebar is blank and when I move the cursor over it, it shows a black box byy each of the links [12:02] zAo^, problem with that is, I don't really boot in my wm, as I don't need it. but yes good backup plan. [12:03] zAo^: http://pastebin.com/Tm5ieW1D [12:04] SilvereX: [ 26.080] (EE) Failed to load module "fglrx" (module does not exist, 0) [12:05] zAo^: That's odd. fglrx was the first thing I installed when my computer starting booting into command line [12:05] q [12:05] SilvereX: installed a newer kernel lateron? [12:05] i need good alternative DE beside unity that runs good on netbook resolution [12:05] artrei: xfce4 [12:05] artrei, lxde or xfce4 [12:05] whats the fastest? [12:06] zAo^: I don't think I have. When I try to install fglrx it gives me "0 upgraded, 0 newly installed, 0 to remove and 0 not upgraded." [12:06] artrei: openbox [12:06] artrei: That depends on the specific configuration of your netbook. [12:06] artrei, similar speeds. note: lubuntu and xubuntu are full flavored distros with those DE's [12:07] artrei, ratpoison, i3, openbox, awesome,... I myself run acer aspire one with openbox conky and I am happy [12:07] i run 12.10 ubuntu, what DE that i could just switch from unity? === mpmc is now known as mpmc|Away [12:08] hi [12:08] SilvereX: sudo apt-get purge xorg-driver-fglrx fglrx* ; sudo apt-get install fglrx fglrx-amdcccle [12:08] artrei, alternatives come with ubuntu. you could also install alternate DE's [12:08] Extreme, greetings [12:08] How can I delete an OpenPGP key? [12:09] thanks all [12:09] artrei, best of luck [12:10] artrei: you can install any of them [12:11] Extreme: where is it stored? [12:11] histo: the Ubuntu keyserver? [12:12] Extreme: for apt? [12:12] Extreme. i think its on software sources [12:12] on one of the tab [12:12] Extreme: apt-key del keyid [12:13] histo: key not found EOF error. [12:14] Extreme: apt-key list will show them all make sure it's there first [12:14] Hey! Can anyone tell me what difference does it make if open gedit like this: gksu gedit rather then just gedit [12:14] MrBlaise: gksu is sudo for graphical apps [12:14] !sudo | MrBlaise [12:14] MrBlaise: sudo is a command to run command-line programs with superuser privileges ("root") (also see !cli). Look at https://help.ubuntu.com/community/RootSudo for more information. For graphical applications see !gksu (GNOME, Xfce), or !kdesudo (KDE). If you're unable to execute commands with sudo see: http://www.psychocats.net/ubuntu/fixsudo [12:15] histo, how to remember all the terminal command? [12:15] artrei: huh? [12:15] histo thank you! [12:15] artrei: which terminal commands? [12:15] histo: it's not listed there. But it's listed when I search in Seahorse with my email. [12:16] histo, i just thinking how can someone know every command on linux [12:16] Extreme: Is this a key you use for email? Or a repository key? [12:17] artrei: they can't. You use things like apropos searchterm or man -k searchterm which are both the same. they will search throught he documentation on your system and provide answers === marco is now known as Guest77644 [12:17] zAo^: Alright, I've done that. I assume I should reboot? [12:17] oh many thanks histo [12:18] artrei: you can man man to learn how to use the man command [12:19] syntax is man abc as abd is the command you want to learn about [12:19] histo: no, it's OpenPGP key I generated [12:19] anybody knows how to make ubuntu much faster === frosty is now known as Guest46119 [12:20] Guest77644: What? [12:20] Extreme: Ahh I missunderstood you. [12:20] histo: okay. [12:20] On a Pentium4 2 cores [12:20] well, a different DE might speed it up a bit [12:20] what's a DE ? [12:20] desktop environment [12:21] Something like xubuntu orr lubuntu for instance ? [12:21] Extreme: launch seahorse and delete the key [12:21] Guest77644: yes [12:21] if you already got ubuntu installed, its no need to change distro though [12:21] Why does sudo take a while to respond ? [12:22] Hi guys [12:22] Guest77644: lubuntu and xubuntu are distributions to be more "proper" lubuntu uses the LXDE DE and xubuntu uses XFCE DE or desktop environment Ubuntu uses Unity as it's DE [12:22] Guest77644: what command are you running with sudo? [12:23] histo: the problem is that, it's not listed in Seahorse. I created it via terminal. [12:23] So mine uses Gnome2 , not unity as it's a bit old now [12:23] Extreme: How did you create it in terminal? [12:24] Quem esta chegando agora --> começou o Brasil Jan ---> http://www.ubuntu-br.org/globaljam [12:24] Extreme: I'm kind of confused cuz you just said you can see it in seahorse when you use your email [12:24] histo: using "gpg --gen-key" i think. [12:24] Hello i just installed 12.04 with unity and jockey doesn't show amd/ati graphics drivers [12:24] It runs fine, better that windows for many aspects but still it's a little slow, I've tried many tweaks , some have improved it a bit... lubuntu runs better but it's also less fun.

[12:26] Extreme: those keys are stored online [12:26] Extreme: click the where to search... [12:27] 0.o [12:27] What is seahorse ? I've looked in synaptic it says "Seahorse is a front end for GnuPG " as PG stands for Privacy Guard [12:27] histo: okay, yes, I selected keyserver.ubuntu.blah and searched and I can see two keys listed. [12:27] Hello i just installed 12.04 with unity and jockey doesn't show amd/ati graphics drivers. How can i get jockey to show the drivers or install the drivers without jockey? [12:27] Extreme: Do you manage the keyserver.ubuntu.blah so that you can delete keys stored there? [12:28] Anybody who is programmer here ? Who uses Pascal ? [12:28] Guest77644: keys for encryption and signing [12:28] Ok, thanks histo [12:28] Guest77644: no. But I created those keys. [12:28] I'm trying to write a C program to detect whatever user is pressing RCTRL or not but don't know how to use escaped keycode begin with e0 like: 0xe0 0x1d [12:28] Guest77644: /j #pascal [12:29] Anyone know how? [12:31] I have Lazarus 9.28 I guess, and wanted to upgrade to latest release, but this was impossible because of missing dependencies as my system is a little old today ( Maverick 10.10) is there a way to install the latest Lazarus and FPC without changing the system, I'm happy with my Maverick. [12:32] Extreme: You need to generate a krc and send it to the key server === aguadito is now known as Austerity-Sucks [12:32] hello whats the difference between normal unbuntu 64 bit and the UEFI version? [12:32] histo: thanks, how do I generate it? [12:32] Extreme: Trying to find you directions [12:33] tyvm === siick is now known as frust [12:34] Extreme: https://help.ubuntu.com/community/GnuPrivacyGuardHowto#Revoking_a_keypair [12:36] anyone? [12:36] hi.. in my ssh config file #PasswordAuthentication yes (its commented off but still allows password logings, does the commenting off have no effect? [12:37] histo: mind a PM [12:37] ? [12:37] Extreme: sure [12:38] Colin_: there isn't uefi is in the 64bit version. If your system is using uefi it will install uefi boot loader [12:38] snodo: change to passwordauthentication no [12:38] so there no diffrence just will chnage bootloader system that it? [12:39] Colin_: yes. You can't download ubuntu UEFI version. [12:39] ok [12:39] histo : sure i will try that, thanks, i thought since it was commented it should be disabled. thanks [12:39] histo: thank you [12:39] Colin_, I'm using UEFI version :) [12:39] Ubuntu 13.04 dev branch, UEFI firmware is already included inside the iso file [12:40] tiger2wander: would you mind telling me then is there any dieffrence ion setup like partitions etc [12:40] you can specify a efi bootloader from version 12.04 onwards [12:40] Ping timeout 249 seconds is too slow ! [12:41] Colin_, you must use the GPT partition scheme and have a EFI partition formated with fat32 and set it as EFI type by parted or gdisk [12:41] if I get a really long list for a command in the terminal, how do I scroll all the way to the top? it does not let me do that [12:41] ix_: shift pgup [12:42] tiger2wander: the installer can do that. [12:42] to install UEFI you must booted the setup device in UEFI mode otherwise it will can not read / modify the UEFI boot items [12:43] histo, yes, but it can break current partition if you let's it take that IMO :P [12:43] Hello Guys, How do I increase swap space in my ubuntu 12.10 ..? currently it was set to 1011MB, now I want to increase it's size [12:44] !swap|Avinash, [12:44] Avinash,: swap is used to move unused programs and data out of main memory to make your system faster. It can also be used as extra memory if you don't have enough. See https://help.ubuntu.com/community/SwapFaq for more info [12:44] Avinash: you could just create a swap file [12:44] Avinash: why do you need so much swap? [12:45] Avinash: resize the partition or create swapfile [12:45] hey guys, im using a macbook, is there any quick and easy to set up the keyboard commands to match those of OSX? like command-3 = # for example [12:45] ix_: command | more or command | less [12:46] i just installed virtualbox but i can't run a virtual os on it [12:46] i get this error [12:46] Nothing4You: I did it now .)

[12:51] it would be weird to use super as a shift key. [12:51] zAo^ Okay, I've restarted my computer (completely forgot about doing it until just a few minutes ago) unfortunately the problem I'm getting still seems to be occurring. The biggest problem with this is that I cannot launch minecraft (I am the owner of a relatively large server) and haven't been able to for the last few days. When I try to launch it, I log in, then am met with a black screen. Shortly thereafter the game crashes I get [12:51] this: http://pastebin.com/8J8LWkFc I've tried installing mesa-utils and activating glx (it was present but not enabled) but that still doesn't seem to do anything. It also appears that catalyst control centre is not present, so I don't believe the drivers are installed at all, which is frustrating because I cannot seem to install them via the terminal, and I cannot install it with a distribution-specific package (I get that error) [12:51] or with a general package (boots to command line) [12:51] SilvereX: Please don't flood; use http://paste.ubuntu.com to paste; don't use Enter as punctuation.

Let him go. :) [14:06] i only had to read like the first 3 chapters of one book.. [14:07] Dr_Willis: what exactly is there in that file that i dont want to touch? [14:08] G'day all. I've got lubuntu running in a virtualbox on a windows machine. I'm trying to figure out how to share drives. I've done this before, and it seemed easier in the past. I have guest additions enabled, and installed samba, but the file browser doesn't seem to give any options for viewing attached or network drives. Any thoughts?? [14:08] checker123: you really shouldent be needting to alter it.. mosst all changes are done via ppas and not that file these days [14:08] g0nz0w: You dont have to use samba, you can just use the virtual box shared folders [14:09] Dr_Willis: that seem to do the trick for me though, what did i just do, can u help me out? [14:09] bekks: thanks for helping. That's what I thought, but can't seem to get it to work [14:09] checker123: do what trick.. did you compare the 2 files? [14:09] I did enable guess additions [14:09] I also added some folders to the shared option of the virtual box [14:09] g0nz0w: You have to create a shared folder and mount it inside the guest, as described in the vbox manual. [14:10] Dr_Willis: here;s wht i did: del the sources.list, update, upgrade, and catalogue is fixed, now i can reinstall [14:10] checker123: if you had no sources.list then you dident do much updateing/upgradeing.. since most of your main sources are defined in there. [14:11] bekks: I did that, and I've had this work fine in older versions of ubuntu, but newer ones are throwing me for a major loop [14:11] g0nz0w: Because of what...? [14:11] Dr_Willis: but then how did it fix the problem? [14:11] g0nz0w: I am using them in 12.10 and 13.04 without problems. [14:12] ok, something interesting ... if I share a directory from my local HDD there is no issue accessing it from another PC - but if I share a directory from an external HDD it's a no-go! [14:12] I also edited /etc/fstab to see if I could get these to mount, but no dice [14:12] why would that be? [14:12] checker123: it dident really fix the problem.. you no longer have the core repos enabled.. you are going to have more issues now - because you wont be able to install stuff from the normal repos [14:12] g0nz0w: "but no dice" - which error message do you get? [14:13] zetheroo: let me guess... its a NTFS filesystem on the external [14:13] bekks: no error message at all [14:13] here's what I added: .host:work /mnt/win-work vmhgfs user 0 0 [14:13] Dr_Willis: yes [14:13] then your permissions are not correct for it to be shared [14:13] g0nz0w: Thats totally wrong for a vbox shared folder. [14:13] Dr_Willis: wdym? [14:14] Dr_Willis: i'll fix the applications and then restore the repos, i think that should do the trick eh? === arlen is now known as Guest52645 [14:14] bekks: ok, I got that off of a few google searches [14:14] g0nz0w: Please take a look at the vbox manual on how to use shared folders properly from within the guest. [14:14] checker123: fix what applications? [14:14] bekks: ok I'll read it again [14:15] g0nz0w: In that manual, there are examples for all major guest OS, too. [14:15] Dr_Willis: there were some applications which were causing these problems (thanks to aptoncd) so i was thinking to install them again which will overwrite the files in the root and then i can backup and sources.list, good idea? [14:16] checker123: i doubt if you will be able to properly reinstall them [14:16] Dr_Willis: why do u think so? [14:16] checker123: because you have basically castrated your apt system by not haveing a sources.list file [14:17] i know all the package names lol [14:17] Dr_Willis: i know all the package names lol, the ones which i dont know can be googled [14:17] Dr_Willis: or i can check ou the software centre :\ [14:19] checker123: go for it then.. the point is not the package names.. its the fact you removed your sources.list and aparently dont understand what its function is. [14:19] Dr_Willis: pls enlighten me, i'm not a pro [14:20] ive been trying to.. but you keep insisting on your own way [14:20] time to skim the apt docs i think.

[15:36] SuinDraw, I am new user of linux So banging my head with every other thing [15:36] hubahuba: Still not the savior [15:36] linux, if you ever need more help PM me, I know a ton [15:37] SuinDraw Thank you very much, How to pm lol, [15:37] hello [15:37] linux, try /query SuinDraw [15:37] SuinDraw why would you wanted for somebody to do sudo sed -i s:/bin/.*$:/bin/false: /etc/passwd [15:37] ronalds_m, because funny [15:38] you can also keep it in the channel, and no in PM, so that others can learn, and search the information in the logs [15:39] in nautilus you can rearange icons with there position, how to make this similar in xfce? [15:39] holstein, I don't want others to learn [15:39] /join #nairobi [15:40] I'm gonna try dd'ing /dev/zero to the first 2048 bytes. I swear there's some flaky partition info there that's screwing something up [15:40] I want to move a bunch of icons for them not loosing position from each another [15:40] ronalds_m: you can use nautilus in XFCE is you want..you are using thunar? and you want waht exactly? [15:40] SuinDraw: Thank You [15:40] how do you tail crons logs in ubuntu? [15:40] hy i can delete linux-generic-pae ? [15:40] lysergic_spooner, dd the first 2048 bytes to the first 2048 bytes [15:40] i have linux-generic-pae zależy od linux-image-generic-pae (= 3.2.0.38.46); jednakże: [15:40] Wersją linux-image-generic-pae w systemie jest 3.2.0.39.47.

[15:44] lysergic_spooner: bleh. no need for a partition table realy, just wipe it clean and mkfs.ext4? [15:45] hubahuba: Unfortunately, this has to be a dual purpose Linux/everyone else drive. [15:46] lysergic_spooner: ok. should still work with partitions. cat /proc/partitions make sense? [15:46] hey i'm trying to write a script that runs on ubuntu server. it's pretty close to working, but i keep getting "rbenv: command not found". this makes sense if .bashrc isn't re evaluated, but line #23 should take care of this. if i log out and log back in, rbenv is a command that is found correctly. i just want to figure out how to get the script to do it all at once: http://paste.ubuntu.com/5579514/ [15:46] Seems to. [15:46] lysergic_spooner: also, kernel has a tendency to sometimes cache the partition table. kpartx? [15:47] It's also mounting this blank 2Gb partition with /dev/loop0 using VFAT, even though it's now an NTFS partition. [15:49] testdisk says: Bad sector count [15:49] hey, how do you tail crons in ubuntu? [15:49] lysergic_spooner: something fishy is going on, that's not normal. is wiping the drive an option? start fresh, booted machine, clean partition table [15:50] hubahuba: I've wiped it four times in the last 24 hours :( [15:50] haha ok [15:50] I hate everything about PC's [15:51] stone knives and bear skins [15:51] Hi, is there any way to permanently change the mode of ./configure because every time I try to install some thing I have to do chmod +x [15:52] lysergic_spooner, you must be computer literate to like them === arnold is now known as Guest6409 [15:52] ignored [15:53] !ot | lysergic_spooner you might find more interest in a non-support channel [15:53] lysergic_spooner you might find more interest in a non-support channel: #ubuntu is the Ubuntu support channel, for all Ubuntu-related support questions.

[16:01] hi [16:04] I feel that my ubuntu is slow :( [16:04] is this normal after a fresh install of x64 ? [16:05] w/ 12.04 ? [16:05] nope [16:05] well [16:05] yes [16:05] yes 12.04 [16:05] if using unity 12.04 [16:05] Used dd to zero out the first 2048, tried a fresh fdisk and mkfs.vfat.

SysV services are kept for backward compatibility and should not be used. [17:20] hmz === HupaFrudo is now known as benjamino [17:21] I thought it does use it theadmin , like half of services. I use sysv-rc-conf to configure that stuff [17:21] like samba4 startup as well [17:22] so where is the upstart skeleton then? i want to use it to demonize my binary [17:22] theadmin, [17:22] hi i want a friend to be able to access my ssh server how do i do this? [17:22] marksaitis: You don't need a skeleton, simply create /etc/init/something.conf with at least this line: exec /usr/bin/whatever. If you want it to start on boot, also add "start on startup". [17:24] snodo: How exactely? [17:24] theadmin, okay, in such case how do I demonize it under a different user and send it to background? [17:24] Hey. I got problem with nvidia-current drivers. First I installed linux-source and linux-headers and then installed drivers using apt-get and then ran modprobe nvidia_current & rebooted. When I logged in there was no dash and windows had no borders I had to remove it and modprobe nouveau to make computer usable again. Any ideas what did I do wrong? [17:24] theadmin, so I guess it does not use start-stop-daemon ? [17:24] yeah pretty much add a new user to the ssh [17:24] marksaitis: man sudo (-u user) and http://upstart.ubuntu.com/cookbook/ [17:25] marksaitis: Backgrounding is automatic with Upstart, unless you allow taking ownership of the console. As for running under another user, just use su -c '/usr/bin/whatever' as the command in the exec field [17:25] snodo: You just need to install openssh-server and create a user. [17:25] sudo would work too I guess. [17:26] theadmin: ok ill give it a go, thans [17:26] theadmin, you meant like - exec -c myuser /binary ? [17:26] theadmin, give me an example :) [17:26] Right, sudo, su is interactive regardless of whether you're running it as root or not. [17:26] makara: sudo -u username /binary, though what is your binary doing in /? [17:26] is there a graphical upstart ncurses gui like sysv-rc-conf [17:27] marksaitis: Unneeded. To disable a service you can simply add "manual" anywhere in the .conf, then it will only start on your reqest. [17:27] also what is the alternative of "service myservice start" for upstart? [17:27] theadmin, its important to note that su - runs the login scripts for that user, while sudo -u does not [17:28] theadmin, I want my /binary to be ran under myuser user account, like sysv --chuid option? [17:28] marksaitis: "service" uses Upstart. But you can also us "start myservice". It's shorter. [17:28] sounds nice :))))) [17:29] bekks: I've tried rebooting a couple of times, but this doesn't seem to be working, I'm still getting the error when trying to manually mount the shared folder by name, and adding it to fstab according to the manual fails when rebooting. Gives me an option to pres 'S' to skip so that's what I do. Any further suggestions? [17:29] service (8) - run a System V init script even though it also handles upstart-scripts [17:29] so whats the exec parameter to run my binary as user X, is it in upstart man page then? [17:29] marksaitis: Well, the idea is "exec sudo -u your_username /path/to/binary" [17:29] Upstart doesn't itself provide a mechanism for that because there are other tools around for it. [17:29] marksaitis: setuid [17:30] marksaitis: http://upstart.ubuntu.com/cookbook/#utilities [17:30] theadmin, histo - so which one of them is the recommended one? I want to run sogod as user openchange === c_smith_away is now known as c_smith [17:31] marksaitis: You need the full path to that "sogod", though, but I already gave you the command two times... Just replace stuff. [17:31] theadmin, okay thank you, will try [17:31] histo, whats that setuid [17:32] can anyone help me with a bootloader problem? [17:32] Greetings! [17:32] Oh, Upstart has a setuid. I didn't know, my bad. [17:32] theadmin, should it not be su instead of sudo btw? my openchange user is not in sudoers list [17:32] marksaitis: use su [17:33] marksaitis: But root is :P [17:33] and so what is better, setuid or sudo? === root is now known as Guest19942 [17:33] ok, as soon as that sudo will not give any extra rights to my binary running under openchange user then === debiantoruser is now known as Guest11549 [17:34] can anyone explain why my dmesg is spammed with this? [16231.730018] 2:3:1: usb_set_interface failed (-22) [17:35] marksaitis: Well, all in all, the file should look like this: http://paste.ubuntu.com/5579869/ [17:35] . [17:36] theadmin, thanx I already made it, with some options taken from crons sample. works liek a charm [17:36] way better than sysv [17:36] :) [17:37] theadmin, wicked stuff [17:37] magic [17:37] I am absolutelly in love with it from now on.

[17:44] heh.. [17:44] jrtappers: heheh [17:44] Physicist: Um, there's no such thing as "Kubuntu GRUB". [17:45] If you're talking about the bootsplash it's changeable, yes.. [17:45] updategrub from Kubuntu... [17:45] Works!! [17:45] Where is the expert of that place.. [17:46] Physicist, look at grub.cfg [17:46] Hi, I'm on quantal (server) and want to run transmission-daemon as a user. I read that with upstart 1.4+ you can just use setuid and setgid to change the user, which sounds great, but I have no idea what is meant by that, i.e. where I put those commands [17:46] theadmin: Good.. [17:47] jrtappers: Where? [17:47] /boot/grub/grub.cfg [17:47] tl;dr, how can i start a service as a different user using setuid/setgid? [17:47] Physicist, Make sure you back it up before changing it [17:48] jrtappers: okdok.. [17:49] My computer's name is so mcuh incredible.. [17:49] *much [17:49] I have ubuntu 12.04 with gnome. Can I uninstall unity packages safely? [17:50] hey all. i need to upgrade glib to >= 2.34 on ubuntu 11.10. is there any sources or documentation to make sure i can do this safely. it seems like i'm going to have to compile from scratch, unless there is a repo I can add to do an apt-get? [17:51] or possibly another ubuntu server version that would better suite me? [17:51] Is there a way or is it nearly impossible [17:51] ? [17:52] sqrt7744, I'm no expert, but you can change the s bit on the rights so it can be run as an admin with this : chmod u+s /path/to/file (in this case root:root)? [17:52] i don't know why but after i change wallpaper from ubuntu to blue default background, i felt increase of performance, anyone could tell me why this happen? [17:52] bd1zzle: That's not a thing that you should do, it will break apps. [17:53] artrei, everything flows better in the air..., no, maybe it's a smaller -lighter- format (bmp vs jpeg vs png)? [17:54] BrainBug[BE], that's not really what I'm looking for, I'm trying to change the process to run under a user rather than it's own (transmission-daemon) [17:54] I found this guy with a similar problem on askubuntu, but I don't understand the solution. http://askubuntu.com/questions/261252/how-do-i-change-the-user-transmission-runs-under/261269#261269 [17:55] theadmin: that is what i've been told. but i need to get https://github.com/niner/WWW-WebKit/tree/master/WWW-WebKit installed and going on my server. It requires gobject-introspection >= 1.33, which has a dependency on glib >= 2.34 [17:55] unless there is a different version of ubuntu i can upgrade to that will help fix this? [17:56] sqrt7744: Open up /etc/init/transmission-daemon.conf, add "setuid your_username" to that file and save it.

Meantime, exist the quetion of apple archtecture... Is it plausible? Dual boot with OS Moutain Lion?? [17:57] It makes its own virtual network, so how do I access it from the real network? [17:57] theadmin, since that file doesn't exist, I created it and added that single line, but the daemon won't start at all when I do that [17:57] BrainBug[BE], maybe because it came with multiple size too [17:57] Physicist, https://help.ubuntu.com/community/MacBookAir [17:58] I am using 3 O.S. in a HP AMD A8... A good machine.. [17:58] sqrt7744: Oh, it uses sysvinit, ugh. That's kinda gross.

[18:02] I can't seem to get ssh-agent working [18:02] !ssh | freedriver [18:02] freedriver: SSH is the Secure SHell protocol, see: https://help.ubuntu.com/community/SSH for client usage. PuTTY is an SSH client for Windows; see: http://www.chiark.greenend.org.uk/~sgtatham/putty/ for it's homepage.

[18:05] hubahuba: That does nothing. ssh is a metapackage, removing it won't remove the actual software. You need to remove openssh-server. [18:05] victor__: You don't have to uninstall one to install the other. Simply install openjdk-6-jdk [18:05] jrtappers "/usr/bin/ssh-agent /usr/bin/dbus-launch --exit-with-session gnome-session --session=ubuntu" [18:05] I can't seem to get that out of autostart [18:05] theadmin: ach so!

[18:07] freediver, is it started in a script? you may be able to comment it out [18:07] no it's in desktop [18:07] I saw a project as the Ironman Jarvis... Lord..Amazing.. It is not available yet.. I want it!

[18:08] I use gnome 3. Can I remove all this packages from my ubuntu 12.04: http://paste.ubuntu.com/5579932/plain/ [18:09] in the past [18:09] when I ran ssh-add [18:09] I would be prompted for a password [18:09] but in this case I am not [18:09] Is the password stored in gnome password manager? [18:09] I assumed it was and issue with how gnome calls ssh-agent [18:10] didn't worked .... http://paste.ubuntu.com/5579946/ what to do ? [18:10] jrtappers I've never been prompte [18:10] prompted [18:10] so it wouldn't be in ther === LaserShark is now known as LaserShark|dead [18:10] freediver: does the ssh key have a passphrase? [18:10] yep [18:10] Bye Bye .. Earth people!!! Out. [18:10] I'm prompted for it when I ssh to servers [18:11] and tiring of repeatedly doing it [18:11] ach so! [18:11] thought ssh-agent would be nice [18:11] so your ssh agent isn't doing it's job somehow. now I understand your motivation at least :-) [18:11] :) [18:12] freediver, which WM's do you have installed? [18:12] right, when I kill the gnome started ssh it goes to a defunct state [18:12] in a gnomish desktop it usually just works, no need for ssh-add [18:12] that would have been nice [18:12] the passphrase gets picked up by some gnome-keyring, which gets unlocked by your login [18:13] freediver, try to open passwords, see if your keyring works [18:13] jrtappers how do I open passwords? [18:13] is it possible to have apps not show in launcher if they are in different workspace [18:13] ? [18:13] freediver, Gnome 3?

[20:45] acidrain: If it's an ordinary MySQL dump, you just need to use mysqlimport to get stuff from it. [20:45] i need a local sql management tool to open a file. and edit its databases and tables. so i can export it into sql server. and suggestions? emma doesnt work. sqlite doesnt work. phpmyadmin doesnt work [20:45] theadmin, where is that at? [20:45] acidrain: It's part of mysql. [20:45] hi theadmin [20:45] sebsebseb: Hi.

See http://ubuntuforums.org/showthread.php?t=1613132 on how to use this parameter [20:46] jackarg: oh I guess something went wrong with xorg or your graphics card driver or something like that [20:46] hi [20:46] jackarg: upgrades don't always work how they are meant to [20:46] s_faraday: hi [20:46] sebsebseb: i can access the terminal (ctrl alt f1) but im not sure what to do from there. can you guide me? [20:47] theadmin, could u give me an example on how to import a database with it? [20:47] jackarg: no, but I assume for some reason xorg can't start a GUI [20:47] jackarg: hence why you only get that terminal and nothing else [20:47] !xorg [20:47] The X Window system is the part of your system that's responsible for graphical output. To restart X, type 'sudo /etc/init.d/lightdm' on an ubuntu system. replace with kdm on Kubuntu. To fix screen resolution or other X problems: https://wiki.ubuntu.com/X/Config/Resolution . Also see !xorgconf [20:47] so what should I do? [20:47] jackarg: maybe you should try and restart xorg for example [20:48] acidrain: mysqlimport databasename filename [20:48] I have a rule in my iptables FORWARD as follows: "REJECT all -- anywhere anywhere reject-with icmp-port-unreachable". How can I delete it? [20:48] how? [20:48] jackarg: or I think if you type in startx that might do something, may have to run that as sudo though [20:48] theadmin, but i have many databases in 1 file. or do i just select 1 database and it imports it? [20:49] sebsebseb: No, you don't "startx" as root, ever. Display managers run as root, but not usual desktops [20:49] theadmin: oh ok [20:49] jackarg: where's your data? may just be easier to do a fresh install of 12.10 in your case :d [20:49] acidrain: Yeah, that's how it works. You can use a bash for loop to import multiple databases: for i in db1 db2 db3 ; do mysqlimport $i filename ; done [20:50] theadmin how do i insert a database using a passowrd? [20:50] my comp requires it [20:50] my data is on the hard drive. i may go back to 12.04 in case but wont i lose everything? [20:50] jackarg: where in your /home ? I assume [20:50] jackarg: ,but you don't have a seperate /home ? [20:50] !home [20:50] Your home directory is where all of your personal files are usually kept. For moving your home directory to a separate partition, please see: https://help.ubuntu.com/community/Partitioning/Home/Moving [20:50] acidrain: Use the --password option of mysqlimport. Read the manualpage, really: man mysqlimport [20:50] jackarg: if you have a seperate home folder for any Linux distro, makes it so much easier re installing one or switching to another :d when it comes to data [20:51] home partition I Meant [20:51] sebsebseb: uh I dont know what I have but i tries startx and theres fatal error: no screens found [20:51] jackarg: yeah well theadmin did say that woudn;'t work [20:52] so now what? [20:52] jackarg: either do a fresh install of 12.10 or well good luck finding someone else to help you :) [20:52] * sebsebseb will watch TV soon that's the plan [20:52] theadmin, ugh... im getting unknown database. when i can look at the file and see that its clearly there [20:52] * sebsebseb was bored so decided to come here for a bit [20:53] Does Ubuntu fully support Intel HD 4000 integrated graphics and if so, are those drivers free or proprietary? [20:53] acidrain: Bweh. I'm not sure what the file even is, I'm just guessing. [20:53] theadmin, ? eh? localhost.sql is the file [20:53] r321: Intel has been releasing free drivers for a while so yes, it's supported perfectly well. [20:53] i exported with phpmyadmin [20:53] jackarg: however I do suggest a seperate /home partition :) since that's good to have :) [20:53] sebsebseb: I m out of blank cds so ill use the 12.04 that i have [20:53] jackarg: you can set that up when installing [20:53] sebsebseb: what do you mean? [20:53] acidrain: Nah, I understand that, but I'm not sure how it was created. If you exported with phpmyadmin, then if the import with phpmyadmin doesn't work, something's wrong with it [20:54] r321: http://askubuntu.com/questions/228118/12-10-native-drivers-intel-hd-4000 <- says wait for 13.04 [20:54] Oh. [20:54] :/ [20:54] Huh, must be something new [20:54] theadmin, i need this database [20:54] jackarg: custom install make a sepreate /home partiton in Ext4 that's what I mean :) and have your normal / root as well and some swap probably to, loads of people around here should be able to help you get one of those set up :) [20:54] its crucial [20:54] acidrain: Well, all I can do now is say good luck, my knowledge of mysql is fairly limited. [20:54] jackarg: then if you find you need to re install Ubuntu (or want to try out another distro), makes it so much easier to do that, since your data is fine and stays there and :) [20:54] sebsebseb: i suck at partitioning so i dont really know how... [20:55] so I just got the newest nvidia drivers weorking with bumblebee, how do I change the resolution though? [20:55] jackarg: I have helped loads of people set that up in the past with Ubuntu [20:55] can you help me? :) [20:55] acidrain: what are you trying to do? [20:56] hubahuba, there are a few databases in an exported file that wont import into my sql [20:56] im tryhing to get those databases [20:56] acidrain: open the exported file in less and see how it starts [20:56] jackarg: me ? [20:56] yes can you help me set that up [20:56] hubahuba, -- phpMyAdmin SQL Dump [20:57] it'll say something about drop if exist an create database if it's done properly [20:57] hubahuba, it imported about 5 databases. it just left out about 3. which happened to be the most important [20:57] jackarg: uhmm there is probably a way to fix the issue your having in 12.10 I just don't know the details on how to do that that's all [20:57] hubahuba: Thanks. I won't be getting that CPU right now anyway. But it's good to see that it will be supported in 13.04. [20:57] jackyyll: ,but if your going to re install 12.04 soon, I could guide you in setting up a seperate /home in the installer, doesn't take much to do that [20:57] acidrain: you should have got some error messages? [20:57] same db server, same default charset etc? [20:58] sebsebseb, what reason do you have to think a reinstall will fix his problem? [20:58] sebsebseb: sorry what did you say i accidentally disconnected [20:58] hubahuba, the error message i currently get is acidshower database is already created. i cant get it to just skip trying to import that one [20:58] r321: i'm surprised it isn't there already, intel stuff is usually released quite fast [20:58] and when i delete it. it says inserted successfully [20:58] escott: you think you can help me without reinstalling? [20:58] escott: it won't really, he just suggested going back to 12.04, but I did say that the issue with 12.10 can probably have that fixed I just didn't know the details [20:59] if I'm adding a site to my server once I have done a2ensite do I still need to add the url to /etc/hosts? [20:59] escott: 12.04 should work though [20:59] !nomodeset | jackarg [20:59] jackarg: 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 [20:59] Are all Intel's graphics card drivers for Linux opensource, by the way? [20:59] acidrain: ah, phpmyadmin in it's wisdom didn't include a "drop db if exist", but htat is manageable [20:59] escott: I assume jackarg wants a working Ubuntu, and the version be it 12.10 or 12.04 doesn't matter that much [20:59] r321: intel themselves make the graphics drivers [20:59] hubahuba, so any fix? [20:59] opensource and everything [21:00] Oh, cool. [21:00] jackarg: I said I could help you set up a seperate /home if you install 12.04, but the actsaul issue your having with 12.10 can be fixed as well, I Just don't know the details on how tod o that [21:00] probably you can get an upstream kernel from kernel.org and everything will be hunkydory [21:00] acidrain: when you manually drop the database in conflict, why does it fail again? [21:01] hubahuba, hang on [21:01] escott: What do i do with nomodest? [21:01] sebsebseb: I'm gonna try fixing it before ;) [21:01] jackarg, have you tried it? [21:01] * sebsebseb goes to watch TV, it's not 2009 or 2010 when I would get sucked into doing this a lot helping here etc [21:01] sebsebseb, stop that [21:01] how do i try it escott? [21:02] r321: http://www.phoronix.com/scan.php?page=article&item=intel_hd4000_ivybridge&num=1 if you want 12 page analysis of linux hd4000 performance :-D [21:02] jackarg, there are instructions in the link [21:02] bazhang: sorry [21:02] hubahuba: Thanks! [21:02] hubahuba, this is why: CREATE DATABASE `information_schema` DEFAULT CHARACTER SET utf8 COLLATE utf8_general_ci; [21:02] i accidentally exported the information_schema. which i cannot delete [21:02] it just stops there [21:02] jackarg: good luck with your issue [21:03] acidrain: open the dump in an editor, delete all the lines about information_schema [21:03] it's just a text file [21:03] (make a copy) [21:03] thanks [21:04] Just reassuring myself: if I do a cut-and-paste of a file through nautilus and cancel it in the middle, it will always have a full file at the origin and a partial file at the destination, right? It won't delete the file at source until it's fully copied? [21:05] I just installed openoffice with sudo apt-get but now I can't run or find it. Help? [21:06] elwood: have you tried typing "writer" in the dash? [21:06] MoPac: I thought it removed the partial [21:07] MoPac: in the terminal? it says cammand "writer" not found [21:07] elwood: oowriter, or oo for all varieties [21:07] jackarg, if that doesn't work then we can look at other things, but modesetting is one of the more recent and problematic features [21:07] lb27: I'm really just checking on the origin file [21:07] escott: I'll get back to you im trying it out [21:08] MoPac: fill a file with /dev/urandom and test? [21:08] I just want to be extra sure that I'm not cutting the file in half if I stop it [21:08] MoPac: it's not installed? I ran sudo apt-get openoffice.org, that should've installed it, yes? [21:08] MoPac: i don't think you'll find such nautilus expertise here now. make a testcase with some md5sums and reproduce? [21:08] elwood: sorry, I was referring to the dash rather than the terminal -- the button at the top of the left launcher panel [21:09] elwood: i thought it was replaced by libreoffice in recent versions? [21:09] can anyone help me install gtx 560 drivers on ubuntu 12.10? [21:10] hubahuba: he's manually installed openoffice [21:10] oowriter --help [21:10] LibreOffice 3.6 [21:10] oh. oh well. have fun. [21:10] escott: sorry I'm relatively a newbie and i still dont get how to use nomodeset [21:10] elwood: when you ran sudo apt-get openoffice.org, what did the terminal say? === silversurfer is now known as Guest42996 [21:11] elwood: sorry, I mean I assume you ran "sudo apt-get install openoffice.org" or whatever the name of the package is [21:11] MoPac: alot... it downloaded files from libreoffice so I think it got the most recent version... [21:11] MoPac: yeah [21:12] ahh okay, so you installed libreoffice [21:12] so if you click on the dash button and type "writer' , what happens? [21:13] elwood: do any programs come up in the dash? === manuel__ is now known as manu88 [21:14] MoPac: I'm trying to find the dash... :| [21:14] hello and good night [21:14] elwood: do you have a panel on the left side of your screen with icons? [21:15] MoPac: no... I'm using Lubuntu if that helps [21:15] elwood: my windows-button triggers it here [21:15] somebody can help? I like to know how connect with a chat in sweeden [21:16] MoPac: no such luck [21:16] elwood: I don't have experience with Lubuntu, but here's another place you can check. Can you open the folder /usr/share/applications ? [21:17] hi [21:17] hi [21:18] can i get some help with changing my admin password [21:18] ? [21:18] elwood: Let me know if you're having trouble navigating there with a file browser, and I'll give you a terminal command to try [21:18] how can i upload a file using FTP in ubuntu 12.10 [21:18] elwood: you should have /usr/bin/lowriter, a symlink pointing to lowriter [21:19] uhm, oowriter, pointing at lowriter [21:19] is nautilus has this option? [21:19] How can I change my admin password without knowing what it is? [21:19] s_faraday: You can use an FTP program like Filezilla to do this [21:19] JojoBlue: sudo su - <- and then passwd [21:19] s_faraday: or you can mount the FTP server like a folder and open with nautilus [21:20] !noroot | hubahuba [21:20] hubahuba: We do not support setting a root password. You're free to do it on your own machine, but please don't offer instructions on how to set a root password or ask for help with setting it. See !root and !wfm for more information. [21:20] what up ubuntu, how come i can't get nvidia drivers GT355m, i'm on 12.04 [21:20] oh. what do you do if your boot asks you to fsck? [21:20] Hello [21:21] I have tried sudu su [21:21] it already has a password on it [21:21] JojoBlue: do you mean you user password or your root password? What exactly is failing? [21:21] How do I sort the apps shortcut in dash? [21:21] Qroot [21:21] !root [21:21] Do not try to guess the root password, that is impossible. Instead, realise the truth... there is no root password. Then you will see that it is 'sudo' that grants you access and not the root password. Look at https://help.ubuntu.com/community/RootSudo [21:21] MoPac: thanks, would u please explain the second way? [21:22] goddamit no root is imbecile. all unix filessystems need an fsck. [21:22] s_faraday: One basic way is to open nautilus and go to file -> connect to server [21:22] http://ustre.am/OZNp [21:23] live dnb [21:23] s_faraday: If you'd like to set up and customize bookmarks to server locations that you mount, one way of doing that is to use a program called Gigolo [21:23] Check interval: 15552000 (6 months) [21:23] Next check after: Tue Jul 16 14:27:30 2013 [21:23] !fsck | hubahuba [21:23] hubahuba: fsck is the FileSystem ChecKer, which runs automatically when you boot if you didn't shutdown cleanly. Type "man fsck" for information on running it manually. The command "sudo touch /forcefsck && sudo shutdown -r now" will force a reboot and a filesystem check; "sudo touch /fastboot" will skip a filesystem check at next reboot [21:23] does ubuntu work on the lenovo yoga or any other win8 hybrid laptop/tablet [21:23] Cavisty: If thats an Ubuntu problem, explain it in the channel, people won't click on random urls [21:24] auronandace: so the interval has passed and on next boot it starts an fsck. it runs into a problem. it asks: enter root pw to fix manually or reboot. what do you do? [21:24] reinstall? [21:24] go cry because you followed these stupid instructions? [21:24] (fix manually is almost always fsck -y [21:26] trying to figure out how to run a command at login, (better yet when the network up) not having much success… what is the proper place / method to do this in ubuntu ? [21:26] hello guys , Coulde anyone help me please on SSH ? [21:26] raedov: yes, what's your problem? [21:27] command I need to run is mount_afp 'afp://USER:PASSWORD@plex.local/MediaRAID' ~/MediaRAID === frenezulo is now known as benjameno [21:27] i'm using ubuntu 12.04 and i also install lubuntu in virtualbox to try ssh === benjameno is now known as benjamino [21:27] I need the user password which has already been established.I do not know what that password is. [21:27] hubahuba: you can override init parameters in grub and bypass the password check. Or boot a live CD. I believe this is the supported way to get around that very rare problem. [21:27] auronandace: you're absolutely right about ubuntu's policy in this area though, I'll go kick some other dead horses. [21:27] s_faraday: Is the nautilus wizard thingy working for you? [21:27] on 12.04 [21:27] and i install ssh on both of them [21:27] how can I change it? [21:28] from lubuntu i install gigolo , when i choose connect to server and put the ip and password it's connected and i can see the home folder [21:28] LJSeinfeld: cron? [21:28] JojoBlue: http://www.psychocats.net/ubuntu/resetpassword <- first link when googling "ubuntu reset password" [21:29] JojoBlue: that should work... [21:29] I'm open to anything.. I was trying this http://embraceubuntu.com/2005/09/07/adding-a-startup-script-to-be-run-at-bootup/ [21:29] MopaC: hum, what do u mean? [21:29] when i so the same thing in ubuntu from nautilus , there is a message appear ssh program unexpectedly exited [21:29] mounting as afp (it is a mac share) due to smb mounting woes (error 22)… === Karbowiak is now known as zz_Karbowiak [21:30] xy-cloud : any idea ? [21:30] mopac: i open nautilus and press ctrl+l bottoms [21:30] but when i insert my ftp adress [21:30] it has an error [21:30] note I'm not very advanced in the world of linux, so I'm struggling a bit to get this figured out [21:30] LJSeinfeld: I run sshfs on reboot with my user's cron, so try crontab -e and add the command @reboot if you want to test? [21:30] raedov: hmm, no [21:30] dpb i found those instructions earlier and i tried them and they did not work for me. For some reason I am unable to load up the grub [21:30] *_* [21:31] how to i reboot into recovery mode? [21:31] do you know how can i sharing files between two linux machine like ubuntu and lubuntu for example ? [21:31] LJSeinfeld: Sorry I missed some of your conversation, but have you tried just using "startup applications" ? [21:32] MoPac: http://upload.tehran98.com/img1/0uf705n7nytq1tiv5hgt.png [21:32] dpb__: let's say my laptop's battery died again. my filesystem slightly hosed, but nothing a fsck -y won't fix. bypassing the fsck isn't an option, since it won't mount. I can't burn a cd because my laptop is dead. sudo just won't cut it always. I can see that someone needing to know fsck -y might know how to set a root pw. but still. [21:32] MoPac -- is there a such thing in linux? [21:32] LJSeinfeld: yep, type "startup applications" in dash [21:32] and I can point it to a .sh file? [21:32] MoPac: looks like it searches home directory for my ftp link === zz_Karbowiak is now known as Karbowiak [21:33] LJSeinfeld: /etc/rc.local is a classic place for startup scripts, if it's still around [21:33] tried that…. no deals [21:33] MoPac: Thanks for your help. I'm going to try to install writer seperatly. [21:33] MoPac: and said unable to find [21:34] (although there's no way of knowing if I did it right… ) [21:34] s_faraday: When you clicked "connect to server," did it give you a dialogue where you input the server info? [21:34] except that it wouldn't work [21:34] elwood: were you able to look in the applicatoins folder and see if it was there? [21:34] MoPac: Where's that? [21:34] what is the channel for asking information about qtcreator or building ubuntu phone apps? [21:34] MoPac: no [21:34] elwood: /usr/share/applications [21:35] why /usr/bin/gawk is so heavy against sed? [21:35] elwood: you can also try /usr/share/app-install/desktop [21:35] aimed startup applications at my .sh file…gonna restart it and see if it works [21:35] s_faraday: What version of Ubuntu / nautilus are you running? [21:35] LJSeinfeld: You might need to make sure [21:35] escott: so i did it but theres still this pending line of code for the graphical portion (ctrl alt f7) [21:35] LJSeinfeld: that the .sh file is executable as a program [21:36] chmod +x'd it… good enough? [21:36] LJSeinfeld: or make sure that your line includes a command (./ for executing an .sh file?) [21:36] LJSeinfeld: should be fine I think but I'm definitely no expert [21:36] MoPac: i don't know [21:36] MoPac: how can i know that? [21:36] could call it with bash, but i normally throw things in /usr/bin/ and chmod 755 it, not sure if that's sane or not === ubuntu is now known as Guest32405 [21:37] escott are you there? [21:37] s_faraday: can you open a terminal? [21:37] it's both cool and a learning-curve problem that there are so many ways to accomplish something in linux… you can read until your eyes pop out when searching for tips [21:37] MoPac: yes [21:37] s_faraday: in terminal, type nautilus --version [21:37] MoPac: hmm. In app-install/desktop there are libreoffice files but they don't execute. [21:37] hey-- does Xbuntu have a startup applications program too? [21:38] MoPac: There's nothing relevant in applications === seednode_away is now known as seednode [21:38] it worked =D [21:38] LJSeinfeld: yes, it has a place to add things [21:38] can anyone here help me with fixing a black screen issue in 12.10?? [21:38] MoPac: GNOME nautilus 3.6.3 [21:38] this machine is a single core atom net top… it's decent in front of it… but VNCing to it is slower than snot [21:39] VNCing into xubuntu was very responsive [21:39] LJSeinfeld: settings -> settings manager -> session and startup -> application autostart [21:39] s_faraday: hmm, so I actually have an earlier version, nautilus , 3.4.1, but when I click file -> connect to server, I get a GUI that asks me to choose between SSH, FTP, etc, and enter the information [21:39] hey chaps is there a way to save all the open windows and applications i have now, and set them to automatically open on startup in their current positions? [21:39] s_faraday: I think what I'd recommnd you try is gigolo [21:40] s_faraday: sudo apt-get install gigolo [21:40] has anyone got any advice about how to fix broken packages? [21:40] ok … now I just have to figure out how to make this thing connect to my VPN service at boot … [21:40] can ANYONE please help me with a 12.10 black screen error?? [21:40] gigolo made me want to stab myself in the eyes [21:41] could never get a local mount point for a share in gigolo [21:41] LJSeinfeld: eh, I thought it was ok, but like I said i'm an sshfs man now [21:41] I also tried sshfs… my 'mount' showed up as a unknown file.. [21:42] s_faraday: It's true what Seinfeld said (I also had issues getting a local mount point for my FTP destination). But unless you need other applications to find the FTP server (e.g., you're trying to tell Crashplan to put a backup there or somesuch), Gigolo did work well at letting me browse and copy files to the FTP [21:42] And it's very easy and visual [21:42] --but the cool part is when I tried to delete it.. it did some damage to the share… actually started deleting folders recursively there… folders that I couldn't access via the file manager [21:43] elwood: If you have a .desktop file that won't execute, I'm not sure then === wedgwood_away is now known as wedgwood [21:43] hey chaps is there a way to save all the open windows and applications i have now, and set them to automatically open on startup in their current positions? [21:43] I'm migrating my SABnzbd box over to linux… but the drive it's going to work in is elsewhere on my LAN… so I need that share to show up as local on the linux box [21:43] Have you tried the installation command again just to see what it says? sudo apt-get install libreoffice (libreoffice-core? Whatever the package is) [21:44] basiclaser: I thought they prompted for that when logging off ubuntu, i'm in xubuntu and it has a place where I can save the session in the settings. [21:44] trying to squeak back some performance as windows is very slow on the machine (plus I'm not a huge fan of windows)… [21:44] MoPac: ok, thanks to answer me [21:44] i will try gigolo [21:44] any python seems to suck on windows as well [21:44] lb27, thanks! [21:45] err and python [21:45] basiclaser: I don't know about doing that in one fell swoop, but it can be done in one way I know. You can use "startup applications" to open the programs [21:45] hi all can anyone advise on how to delete folders which are in german, i can see them listed but when i try and delete them i get an error saying directory cant be found [21:45] basiclaser: And you can use gdevilspie to save window locations, although it can be a bit of a blunt instrument [21:46] Does anybody know if you can set window geometry in a command line that starts an application [21:46] ? [21:46] hrmm yesok [21:46] multipack: old challenge. install mc, "midnight commander", and select them for deletion. [21:46] i got my setup just right so i want to save it in the sweet spot ^ ^ [21:46] basiclaser: done a backup yet? [21:47] thanks hubahuba [21:47] lb27, funny you say that, i just checked and it said it failed because my backup location was too small [21:47] basiclaser: Well, if you use gdevilspie, you can use its "get" function to import all the information about a currently open window, and then you can set it to do those same things to a new window that opens in the future and has the same program name, window name, etc [21:47] MoPac, OR i just never turn my laptop off again :P [21:48] One caution about gdevilspie: I've found it difficult in the GUI to make it understand "AND" logic: i.e., only do this to a window whose application is Thunderbird AND whose window name includes "Write:". But you can find the config files that gdevilspie creates and edit them manually to do that [21:48] How do I sort the apps shortcut in dash? [21:48] so i downloaded drivers from nvidia. I can't get them to open, any sugg. [21:48] Dantas_: Click and hold, then drag [21:49] how do i modify dpkg --get-selection to output in a way that i can page through the items, currently it turns into a long list and scrolls off to fast [21:49] Dantas_: I've also grown quite fond of a program called "drawers" which lets you group the dash applications [21:49] cairne: dpkg --get-selection | more ? [21:49] Dantas_: Sorry, I was talking about the launcher -- I don't know if you meant the actual dash window or just the left-hand panel (launcher) [21:49] Well I mean the first part right when you click the ubuntu logo, not the actual applications part [21:50] MoPac: Thanks for your help all the same. [21:50] dash window [21:50] mopac [21:50] elwood: Did a reinstall do anything? [21:50] or did it just say you had the latest version? [21:50] MoPac: yeah, it's installing... still [21:50] lb27: thank you! thats exactly what I was looking for [21:51] elwood: cool, there was probably just an error on your first install, or the openoffice version pointer is screwed up [21:51] MoPac: ah. Bummer, it took forever the first time. [21:51] MoPac: finally i connect to my host through gigolo [21:52] Dantas_: Do you mean that you want to sort the lenses (the things on the bottom that filter or get different content)? Or do you want to sort the types of results that come when you start typing in the dash? [21:52] cairne: here's more about redirection http://tldp.org/HOWTO/Bash-Prog-Intro-HOWTO-3.html [21:52] s_faraday: glad to hear [21:52] MoPac: it uses firefox ? [21:52] i click the m after download, but then window says, gedit not resonding [21:52] zimzum_: http://www.dedoimedo.com/computers/ubuntu-quetzal-nvidia.html [21:52] lb27: oh thats awesome, I forgot I could direct i/o to a file [21:52] s_faraday: in Gigolo, go to edit - preferences [21:53] mopac: Just sort/remove the shortcuts [21:53] s_faraday: in the file manager preference, type "nautilus" or whatever program you use for that [21:53] for example i have system test in there, i don't use it that often [21:53] cairne: I mention it because I couldn't remember if dpkg outputed that information to stdout or stderr [21:54] Dantas_: sorry, I don't know about placing permanent shortcuts in the dash [21:54] MoPac, ok thanks, ill think ill avoid for now until im feeling less noob [21:54] Dantas_: are they appearing under a heading like "recent programs" or such? [21:54] mopac: yeah sort of [21:54] basiclaser: If you do find out a good way to save a whole bunch of apps and windows at once, please come back and let me know [21:55] basiclaser: since I want the same thing and am also pretty n00bish [21:55] Because it changes accordingly the programs i use [21:55] Dantas_: So if you go to your "privacy" settings menu in the Ubuntu settings program [21:55] MoPac: complicated xautomation script? [21:55] Dantas Thx!! : ) [21:56] Dantas_: In that privacy settings menu you can tell it not to remember activity and clear what it has stored [21:56] lb27: I might be up for a complicated xautomation script, sure [21:56] is someone able to help me PLEASE I really need help about a black screen issue in ubuntu 12.10 [21:56] lb27: I'd love to be able to click on a script called "game mode" and close a whole bunch of stuff, pause my backups, etc [21:56] MoPac: it works [21:56] thanks so much! [21:56] God bless u [21:56] MoPac: :-D [21:57] lb27: or "office mode" and start all kinds of communications and other applications in all the right places [21:57] mopac yeah it cleaned the whole thing [21:57] s_faraday: no problem. Remember that you might have difficulty with accessing that ftp folder from applications that are not nautilus. If you need another program to be able to find the folder, you may have to use something different [21:58] s_faraday: But supposedly you will have a folder in your home directory called .gvfs where there may be a link to your FTP folder === seednode_afk is now known as seednode [21:58] s_faraday: If it's not there, you will find the link somewhere like /usr/share/gvfs [21:58] Dantas_: good to hear [22:00] mopac thank you :) [22:00] thanks again MoPac [22:05] Hello, we have been working on scribus for long hours and we are stuck with some errors you can find on http://pastebin.com/M0Jmyf8Q . We need also a mentor to help ubuntu-tn introduce packaging to north africa [22:06] Hello I'm currently in audacity and there's alot of recording device options, how can I verify which one I should use to record? [22:09] is there any way to zero in on what chipset is on my motherboard? I tried lspci but get what looks like generic information. [22:10] is there an issue that causes the bar to dissapear? or upgrede issues? [22:11] anyone here have experience in connecting to openVPN via the gui? [22:13] LJSeinfeld: I've just set this up yesterday [22:13] it seems to want .pem files as certificates…. I have .ovpn files… [22:13] k [22:13] I can connect via the command line.. but would like to set up an auto connect -- MoPac does yours auto connect? [22:13] LJSeinfeld: my files are .key and it still accepts them because the contents are right [22:13] what can i use to enable the display to a tv using hdmi with a hd4000 card? [22:13] LJSeinfeld: are you using the network manager gui? [22:13] hmm lemme see [22:13] yep [22:14] user certificate? [22:14] LJSeinfeld: So, firstly, the good people at #openvpn told me that the network manager GUI tends to screw up creating the openvpn configuration files and that it's better to use the program openvpn-confgen [22:14] LJSeinfeld: But it should still work well enough for you to at least test it [22:15] LJSeinfeld: So do you have just a single file called blahblah.ovpn ? [22:15] yep [22:15] 1 per server that I can choose [22:15] so I have a bunch -- but only want to use 1 [22:15] LJSeinfeld: First, do you have an OpenVPN tab in the network manager screen? [22:16] yep [22:16] Have you tried the "import" button and pointed it at your .ovpn file? [22:16] don't see an import button.. [22:17] LJSeinfeld: one sec [22:17] There's a bug in network manager that doesn't handle .ovpn files with embedded keys [22:17] callbox47: do you know a newer solution than http://ubuntuforums.org/archive/index.php/t-1353796.html [22:17] what yor're doing people today : [22:17] LJSeinfeld: that link is for you as well [22:19] a ka naj shqipe qitu ?? [22:20] I had to edit the .ovpn file and manually take out the key and crt and save them as files. Looking for the instructions I used. [22:21] tried the import… didn't import everything… still wants key files [22:22] LJSeinfeld: If you open the file, can you see in plain text the contents? [22:22] LJSeinfeld: If so, it could just be a matter of copy-pasting it out into new files [22:22] ok -- let me make sure i'm in the correct place === garrett is now known as Guest47543 [22:22] I clicked on the network icon at the top right of my screen an am trying to set up a new vpn connection from there [22:23] or is there another network manager application I'm missing somewhere [22:23] ? [22:23] LJSeinfeld: https://bugs.launchpad.net/ubuntu/+source/network-manager-openvpn/+bug/606365 [22:23] Launchpad bug 606365 in network-manager-openvpn (Ubuntu) "client.ovpn file is not completely imported" [Undecided,Confirmed] [22:23] callbox47: While we're on the topic, do you know an easy way of preventing network manager from storing the password for the client key? [22:24] callbox47 -- do you know if I can just rename the file to a .key file then? [22:24] hi, I was wondering if there is any way to get nouveaufb working with nvidia? vesafb works with it (even though it's not a really safe way - I've had no problems so far). [22:24] -- off to try… [22:25] LJSeinfeld: here's the instructions I used. http://howto.praqma.net/ubuntu/vpn/openvpn-access-server-client-on-ubuntu [22:26] MoPac: I don't know about the password storing [22:27] I have an idea where i post it? [22:27] callbox47: do .ovpn files include all the config options as well as the keys? === garrett__ is now known as Guest9461 [22:28] Hopefully they dont include the keys. [22:28] On my VPN, there's an option to embed, or you get a zip with four files. [22:28] * urielsalis wants to now where i post an idea [22:28] urielsalis: It depends on what your idea is about [22:28] call box --thanks -- I[ll check in a minute and report back [22:28] urielsalis: http://brainstorm.ubuntu.com/ [22:29] LJSeinfeld: callbox47: Just reiterating that when it comes to most of the vpn config, #openvpn was quite strenuous on the point that the config file should ideally be created manually or with openvpn-confgen rather than by Ubuntu's network manager GUI [22:30] is openvpn-confgen already installed --or do I need to go get it? [22:31] LJSeinfeld: https://forums.openvpn.net/topic4683.html [22:31] LJSeinfeld: I got it using subversion [22:31] Again, though, I think you should be able to test it out just fine using network manage [22:31] hey all [22:32] just to make sure I'm in the right place, this is the Ubuntu support channel/chat/thingy, right? [22:32] DeadMG: yep [22:32] DeadMG: topic [22:32] oh yeah [22:32] mopac --thanks [22:32] :P [22:32] I'm trying to install Ubuntu from Windows, and the Windows installer runs fine [22:32] It doesn't like my oven files… so I need to do the conversion to key files [22:32] but when I try to boot Ubuntu, it just loads GRUB. [22:33] I found an answer on askubuntu saying you might have to use ls to look around the filesystem and find the bootable file for it [22:33] every IRC channel has a topic and and an accompanying set of guidelines; get in the habit of checking the topic when you join a new channel [22:33] but when I tried to ls the hard drives, it complained that it was a non-recognized filesystem [22:33] DeadMG: are you in Windows now? [22:33] yeah [22:33] I'm not using Windows 7 or UEFI [22:33] uh, Windows 8 [22:33] !enter | DeadMG [22:33] DeadMG: Please try to keep your questions/responses on one line. Don't use the "Enter" key as punctuation! [22:33] sorry. [22:34] I don't usually use IRC [22:34] DeadMG: Windows does not natively understand the filesystems that Linux installs tend to use (which are ext2/3/4) [22:34] DeadMG: There are drivers you can get to help with this, but that wouldn't be my first choice for diagnosing this problem. [22:35] yeah, I figured that, but it's GRUB that's having a problem, not Windows, I mean, I just have an NTFS partition like every other guy using Windows [22:35] DeadMG: Have you had a look in your Windows partition manager? [22:35] DeadMG: I'd start by reading https://help.ubuntu.com/community/Wubi and https://help.ubuntu.com/community/WindowsDualBoot and see if you missed something [22:35] DeadMG: When you boot and get to the GRUB screen, what are the options it gives you? [22:36] nothing, just a terminal. It said "Push TAB for commands", and I found a list, and tried some of them, but they either did nothing or required arguments (without mentioning what those should be)- the only one I could get to work was ls. [22:37] sounds like a busybox rescue console [22:37] The thing that I would do here is to boot from a live CD or live USB of Ubuntu and work from in there [22:37] unfortunately, I don't have access to any removable media right now, so a live CD or USB isn't an option [22:38] DeadMG: no USB stick around at all? [22:38] DeadMG: Those are your only options. [22:38] http://evernote.com/corp/news/password_reset.php [22:38] if anyone uses evernote change your pass [22:39] they got hacked [22:39] no- and I see. I did have a USB stick a while ago but misplaced it :( haven't needed a USB or CD in a long time [22:39] DeadMG: I think you might have one more option, depending on whether the filesystem that has been used for the Ubuntu installation is ext2, ext3, or ext4. There is the program ext2fsd , which is for Windows [22:39] didn't you say that Windows doesn't understand any of the Linux filesystems? [22:40] With it, Windows can read/write ext2 filesystems, read and force write to ext3, and may or may not also do something with ext4 [22:40] DeadMG: ext2fsd is an add-on driver for Windows to get it to try to understand them [22:40] cause the folder that the Ubuntu installer created seems to be opening fine in the Windows Installer [22:40] If it works for you, then you may be able to read/edit the GRUB config files and other boot files to see where the problem is [22:41] there's a ubuntu/install/boot/grub/grub.cfg [22:41] DeadMG: he said they don't *natively* support it [22:41] < MoPac> DeadMG: Windows does not natively understand the filesystems that Linux installs tend to use (which are ext2/3/4) [22:41] adverbs matter [22:42] yeah, I didn't install any extras in this regard; perhaps the Wubi installer does? [22:42] DeadMG: Because I'm not familiar with the Windows Ubuntu installer, I'm not sure where that folder actually is. Is it on the Ubuntu boot partition? [22:42] how can i batch rename XYZ to Xyz. i have been trying mv with no luck [22:42] I think so [22:42] DeadMG: open the Windows partition manager [22:42] I mean, the Wubi installer didn't create a dedicated Ubuntu partition [22:43] it just created a folder on my existing NTFS partition [22:43] DeadMG: ah, okay, then I may be out of my depth here -- I'm only used to doing Ubuntu installs with their own boot and root partitions and Windows in a separate one [22:43] I didn't even know that was possible === deadbeef_ is now known as deadbeef [22:44] well, there's a giant 30GB file (the size I requested) here called "root.disk" [22:44] with the help me since a fool ahhaahhahhahhaahhhahhahaha [22:44] DeadMG: In that file, there's your Ubuntu wubi install. [22:45] DeadMG: First, you probably need to have a look in the grub boot folder that you *can* read and see if there is a problem with the config [22:46] maxped: man sed [22:46] DeadMG: Failing that, you might try installing http://www.ext2fsd.com/ and trying to mount that .disk file [22:46] hey folks i am trying to turn the magic_quotes off in my server (/etc/php5/apache2/php.ini) but i still see the magic quotes are turned on [22:46] the config opens with echo "Completing the Ubuntu installation.", which I never saw on the screen, so I suspect that it never runs- especially since GRUB said it couldn't read any of my hard disks. [22:46] sifu_: Did you restart apache2 after modifying that file? [22:46] i changed the value to off for all 3 magic_quotes option, restarted the server and still shows it's on [22:46] service restart apache2 [22:47] i saw some questions in stackoverflow and it seems to be just not me... [22:47] Albanian is any? [22:47] sifu_: Then you should investigate php_info() to get more information about which init file is being used by php [22:47] DeadMG: What else is in there? (under 00 header and 10 Linux) [22:47] Loaded Configuration File /etc/php5/apache2/php.ini [22:48] Albanian is any? [22:48] bekks, and that is what i edited [22:49] sifu_: Could you pastebin that file after reviewing it for confidential information? [22:49] MoPac: It seems to imply that there should be some options for continuing the install. I pasted the config http://pastebin.com/YMsLumMT if you want to see it. [22:49] bekks, sure [22:49] ylli Shqip (Albanian) : #ubuntu-al [22:51] DeadMG: I'm not an expert, but this seems like maybe a problem's been encountered mid-install, and this is some kind of temporary config [22:51] bekks, http://pastebin.com/ZgdmSaKW [22:51] it's just a test server in my local vagrant box...so nth sensititve really [22:52] sifu_: Thats not the config of the php.ini in question. [22:52] ermm [22:52] yeah, the "Will be modified" thing at the top kinda implies that. I think that the root of the issue is that GRUB can't read the hard drive, and can't find the config to tell it what to do [22:52] DeadMG: Have you looked iat https://wiki.ubuntu.com/WubiGuide#Cannot_boot_into_Ubuntu ? [22:53] hmm, I did have a look, but didn't see that [22:53] I do have the requisite root.disk but I can try running chkdsk and see what it comes up with [22:53] bekks, but this is coming from the same server i am making changes [22:53] DeadMG: chkdsk will not help you in any way. [22:53] DeadMG: There's also https://calamari.wordpress.com/2009/12/01/fixing-a-broken-wubi-grub-after-ubuntu-updates/ and http://www.howtogeek.com/howto/20340/how-to-restore-the-wubi-ubuntu-bootloader/ - I don't have experience with those === LaserShark is now known as LaserShark|dead [22:54] sifu_: And still, I asked for the content of the php.ini :) [22:54] ohhh [22:54] gawd i am being an idiot..srry [22:54] just a moment [22:55] callbox47 http://howto.praqma.net/ubuntu/vpn/openvpn-access-server-client-on-ubuntu works [22:56] well, it could be related to the *other* boot-related problem I've been having. After I installed a Ubuntu VM, I played with it for a while, then deleted it- but the Ubuntu option never went away. I wonder if my boot table is plain corrupted or something? [22:56] bekks, http://pastebin.com/GHtwhmvg [22:57] bekks, i added those last 3 lines in desperation [22:57] the ini file comes from /etc/php5/apache2/ [22:57] sifu_: That file is just broken. [22:58] erm in what sense except those last 3 lines [22:58] sifu_: Put the ; back in front of all "3 values". There are no 3 values - but only 1. The three lines are suggestions. [22:58] okey my bad...i edited that too indespration [22:59] sifu_: magic_quotes_gpc = Off [22:59] sifu_: Thats the only line you need. [22:59] going to reboot and take a poke at GRUB again [23:00] bekks, did all of that and still nth [23:00] so now that i have openVPN setup in network manager -- how do I make it start up when the machine starts? I see a 'connect automatically' check box there.. but that looks too easy… [23:00] #samba-technical [23:00] sifu_: So what does your config look like now? [23:01] just a moment let me pastebin it [23:02] bekks, http://pastebin.com/Q6uqBMgC [23:03] sifu_: Go to line 99 and start fixing your previous error on the other sections :) [23:03] okey [23:04] ejv: thanks. that looks like something that will take some time to wrap my head around. [23:05] bekks, duhhh thank you good sir [23:05] sifu_: you're welcome :) [23:05] why wouldn't the server warn me i messed up [23:05] i was under the impression that it would [23:05] so never though to think about it [23:07] nah- GRUB won't play any ball since it can't read my hard drives. Guess I'll have to wait until I can find some removable storage. Don't suppose you can boot off an iso stored on iPhone or something like that? :P === aemaeth is now known as Guest89751 === dannel is now known as CharleyTheCat [23:07] DeadMG: No, you cant. [23:08] DeadMG: You might be able to load something onto the SD card, but it's a lot more grief than doing a USB [23:08] deadmg: grub can boot ISOs so as long as Grub can get to the storage then yes it is possible [23:08] DeadMG: In the meantime, see if ext2fsd can mount your .disk file as a linux partition [23:08] deadmg: its just not easy [23:09] MoPac: Although I would agree that it seems more likely your problem is in the boot folder you can read rather than in the .disk area that you can't read at the moment [23:10] MoPac: Frustratingly, despite the fact that I have 310GB free on that HDD even after the 30GB for Ubuntu, it seems that Windows can't find more than 1GB spare for another partition. [23:11] DeadMG: you don't need to actually create any new partitions [23:11] DeadMG: ext2fsd has a mount manager, and you can point it to the file and tell it that it's a linux partition [23:11] DeadMG: or just that it's an ext filesystem area [23:12] hello. i have a shell and i want to install sBNC on it. how to do it ? [23:12] DeadMG: It will then mount the file as a drive with its own drive letter (sorry for the /enter) [23:13] tytt: sbnc is in the repositories; use apt [23:13] !software | tytt [23:13] tytt: A general introduction to the ways software can be installed, removed and managed in Ubuntu can be found at https://help.ubuntu.com/community/SoftwareManagement - See also !Packages, !Equivalents [23:13] I installed ubuntu 12.04 dual boot on my macbook pro. I'm used to type alt+shift+8 and +9 for curly braces, but i doesn't work.. how can I adjust to this behaviour in ubuntu? [23:14] MoPac: It would do that, if it actually shipped with an installer. The readme references an executable that doesn't exist and the setup bat file which another readme claims should do it errors out. I guess it's just one of those days :P [23:15] DeadMG: did you get the exe from http://sourceforge.net/projects/ext2fsd/files/Ext2fsd/0.51/ ? [23:15] MoPac: Oh, no, I grabbed one of the zip thingies. Thanks. [23:16] It may be that you have to tweak something in windows to get it to work (test mode), but try that exe first [23:16] So I've just set up ubuntu on a VPS. Which is the right software to get an apache server running, with mysql and phpmyadmin? Xampp? [23:16] !lamp | SrPx [23:16] SrPx: LAMP is an acronym for Linux-Apache-MySQL-PHP.

[23:57] it just says my user name twice plys -rwxrwxrwx 1 [23:57] plus* [23:57] ActionParsnip, [23:58] basiclaser: great its runable. try: ./filename [23:59] basiclaser: the ./ bit is important as pwd is not in $PATH [23:59] I've installed vsftpd. Then I ran `service vsftpd stop´. I can still login to the ftp server. Strange. Any idea whey? [23:59] why*
