I have an Ubuntu machine here which is LVM on LUKS. I have a boot line like kernel /vmlinuz_x.x root=/dev/mapper/ubuntu-root ro. When I boot, I get dropped to busybox where I must use cryptsetup to manually unlock my partition, and then continue booting normally. What is the line I need for cryptsetup to prompt me for a password while booting, instead of making me invoke a full line? [00:05] member:identifier:actionparsnip desktop os [00:05] woops [00:06] command works fine --but has to be run as sudo [00:06] ljseinfeld: install gnome-schedule and then run: gksudo gnome-schedule [00:06] if im running ubuntu 12.04 from live usb (livecd from usb flash drive) is it possible to remove the flash drive after im into the livecd? [00:06] bekks: http://pastebin.com/Tu6Pic4Y [00:07] axizlights: i dont believe so [00:07] SrPx_: And how exactly are you trying to connect to your server? [00:07] is there a channel for RoboCode? [00:08] bekks: using ExpanDrive (OSX app), connecting to it's ip using root / password ... === XenGi is now known as XenGi_ [00:08] ActionParsnip: why not? isnt the livecd loaded into ram [00:08] SrPx_: USe an FTP client :) [00:08] bekks: it is an ftp client [00:09] SrPx_: Then configure it to use ftp instead of sftp and it will fail to connect. [00:09] azizlights: not fully === gruber is now known as jsjgruber-x-q [00:09] hi ActionParsnip [00:10] bekks: sure... but why sftp works? [00:10] katandem [00:10] bekks: and how do you know? [00:10] SrPx_: Because sftp uses ssh, and not ftp. :P [00:10] bekks: u_u [00:10] bekks: and ssh is built in on ubuntu, I guess? [00:10] SrPx_: In fact, thats what you want. sftp is encrypted, ftp isnt. [00:11] SrPx_: At least it is up and running on your server. [00:11] srpx: it can be added. its not enabled by default [00:12] bekks: but can I configure sftp, the build in, to allow me to access files outside /home? That's the problem to begin with. I was configuring vsftpd and nothing changed, now that's why u_u [00:13] SrPx_: You have to grant permissions for the user that is supposed to change files outside /home/user/ [00:13] bekks: I'm using root! [00:13] bekks: but I can only see files after /root/ [00:13] bekks: not after the actual root folder / [00:13] srpx: the file access is the same as local access. you can navigate all over the OS [00:14] SrPx_: You should immediately disable your root account again, and use you user account. [00:14] bekks: why? [00:14] bekks: I'm the only user [00:14] security for one [00:14] but nobody else will use it [00:14] only me.. [00:14] still, possiblity of screwing yourself royally, SrPx_ [00:14] ActionParsnip -- I think I misunderstood your first question [00:15] SrPx_: And no one on the internet has the ability to attack your server? :) [00:15] I'm currently accessing the machine via the CLI [00:15] I won't dude [00:16] bekks: but that's becoming complicated. I have no idea on how to disable the root and make a new user. I just wanted to install apache and paste my site there.

[00:26] brb [00:27] fibby: wicd has wicd-curses for CLI interaction [00:27] ok [00:28] dammit. [00:28] FIBBY: idk, but wicd always gave me shit over wep networkds on my backtrack install [00:28] i cant get bt5 to installon this mini [00:28] lol [00:28] ntzrmtthihu777: thats backtrack though....

Anyone know how to fix this? It happened after i installed frostwire/java7 [00:30] it's showing my command in the gui already [00:31] ljseinfeld: the X server is just another layer in the OS the system doesnt care if that is on the same PC or a remote one [00:31] Ugh, well, it says the smb.conf that's installed is invalid and when I remove and and try to let it autogenerate it like it asks me to do it says THAT is invalid. [00:31] hmm [00:32] fibby: use a wired connection to get packages and such [00:32] ok [00:32] ntzrmtthihu777: What would be the point of asking a process to start with a certain ID # anyway? [00:32] pretty cool -- [00:32] oh found it [00:32] Why doesn't desktop cube work in dual monitor? [00:32] it was hidden [00:32] lol [00:32] ok thanks [00:32] =) [00:32] FIBBY: Please don't flood; use http://paste.ubuntu.com to paste; don't use Enter as punctuation.

[00:39] wonder why it's not working at restart.... [00:39] k [00:39] maybe it tries to run too soon? Is it possible it's trying before the network comes up? [00:40] SonikkuAmerica: I am trying to set up an irssi-in-screen launcher. If I can force a pid I can make it work [00:40] Ugh, I've got a smb.conf and it still give me errors in postinstall [00:41] basically it should work like this: gnome-terminal -e 'screen -r PID' || gnome-terminal -e 'screen force-PID' [00:42] ntzrmtthihu777: No. Totally not. -r reconnects to a pid, it does not set any pid. [00:43] ntzrmtthihu777: There is no way to enforce a distinct pid. [00:44] ntzrmtthihu777, bekks: Is it possible to attach another program to "%screen" using the CLI? [00:44] still shows as eth0 [00:45] ntzrmtthihu777, You could write a script that did something like ps -ef|grep appname and pull the pid that way? [00:45] whats cli cmd to show all ifaces [00:45] I know that, dude, you just told me thatt. the first half will reconnect (I had hoped) to the forced pid, but if it cannot it starts a new screen with that pid. [00:46] ntzrmtthihu777: Yes, because reconnecting is something different than creating a new session. [00:47] I know how to use screen manually, I am just trying to set up a nifty automatic version [00:47] not a clue, SonikkuAmerica , that's why I'm here asking [00:47] gotta go, brb. hold that thought.

[01:03] no [01:04] just disable root, re-enable root when you need it [01:05] do I have an answer to my query [01:05] the black screen [01:05] if nobody knows the answer, nobody will answer you Allard [01:05] ok [01:05] I am just checking if I am understood about what I say [01:05] SrPx_, http://howsecureismypassword.net/ [01:06] in the mean time, check askubuntu.com the ubuntu forums, mailing lists, and LaunchPad [01:06] I have it says I have to use: " acpi_osi=Linux" [01:06] but that is halfway because upon start I still have to use the backlight buttons [01:06] to light up the screen [01:07] otherwise it works regularly [01:07] packetfrog: interesting site, it's yours? BTW, "It would take a desktop PC about 290 undecillion years to crack your password" - so, if someone could explain me why disabling root is necessary that would be nice [01:07] hey guys, i got a question about my integrated graphics card driver. im in ubuntu 12.04 [01:07] SrPx_, notice how it says regular desktop computer...

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.

[02:30] can anyone help me install the latest lwjgl system wide on ubuntu 12.04? [02:30] Quen: what games? why vm? latency will likely be due to the network [02:31] Game called "Vindictus". [02:31] VM because hackshield confliction with Wine. [02:31] jc_freak24: i would start with "sudo apt-get install liblwjgl-java" [02:31] Unless there's another way to run Windows applications on Linux.

[04:29] cagrijost : format everything and then reinstall win 7. then try to install ubuntu and see if it works. [04:29] erase win7 after that [04:29] cagrijost: i would be *sure* you installed.. and recover using the live CD.. i never used any tool.. just the cli [04:29] rzafc, what exactly are you trying to do?

[04:31] holstein: it's not that, it works on another machine just fine [04:32] cagrijost: i would load up a live CD, and see whats on the drive.. if its nothing, then format and reinstall [04:32] holstein im on a live usb now. and there are partitions [04:32] let me load them up [04:32] RZAFC: does the machin boot anything? mayb e its broken [04:32] holstein: what are the commands again?

[04:48] hmm, well colors should already be enabled [04:48] well they're not [04:48] Degru: maybe just try another terminal.. terminator for example [04:49] try this [04:49] [ "$TERM" != "dumb" ] && eval "`dircolors -b`" && alias ls='ls --color=auto' [04:49] it doesn't work if I do ctrl-alt-f1 either [04:49] joshumax: ok [04:49] it works for me [04:50] joshumax: yay it works now [04:50] joshumax: will it be persistent?

[04:56] uncommented the line using nano, and saved the file [04:56] doesn't work [04:57] no line commenting from .bashrc is necessary, it's ready-to-go as is [04:57] odd it works for me [04:57] in fact if i dont answer is because my ubuntu froze again [04:57] got a prob my friends, i did sudo apt-get install nvidia xconfig, now my screen is froze a 4:# [04:57] although im using debian wheezy [04:57] 4:3 [04:57] anybody there to help me???

Can anyone please tell me how to change default boot partition? [06:05] :) [06:05] dr_willis: sorry didn't see it. [06:05] you want to define a swap partition most likely. [06:06] If you have limited memory you should use a swap though i recommand having it even if you have ample amount of memory [06:06] yeah, same here sahil_ . I always go for 16gb swap even if its overkill. [06:06] for what kind of ram [06:06] you really only need as much swap as you have ram [06:06] _ghost562 if you dont have a swap partion create an 1 gb partion and use it as swap [06:07] ram+ a little more if you use suslpend [06:07] duspend [06:07] yeah. [06:07] Degru: I know but its just my way. I have 4&6 gb on my pc&laptop respectively [06:07] i have 2gb and 2.5gb swap [06:07] sahil_: how would i go upon making a swap partition? [06:07] _dr_williis suspend ? ;) [06:07] c2tarun: sound like you eneed to edit your grub file in the 12.10 boot partition to point it to the 12.04 partition [06:08] ghostx562: easy. you should boot a live cd, run gparted, and go at it :D [06:08] c2tarun: and maybe stick the right kernel in there [06:08] MoPac, what? if I edit boot file in partition of 12.10 then of formating the partition it'll be deleted. [06:08] c2tarun: Yeah, or if you work from a live CD, you just delete 12.10 and reinstall grub [06:08] c2tarun: you don't have a separate boot partition, just a file in the root partition? [06:08] why delete 12.10? i find it more stable [06:09] MoPac, yup, no separate boot partition [06:09] how do I create a "recovery partition"? I have a small 2gb partition between my /home and swap, I was told unetbootin could do it but it does not give me that option. how would I do it manually? [06:09] ntzr: im am trying to install ubuntu, once i have it setup ill go for the swap. [06:09] i can still do after right> [06:09] ? [06:09] c2tarun: Then maybe the easiest thing is to *make* a boot partition, pointed at 12.04 [06:09] Degru, where to start, Unity-2D is missing, ATI driver is not supported, system heating too much with open source driver [06:09] you really wan tto make a swap PARTITION now. [06:09] ntzrmtthihu777: what do you mean by recovery partition [06:09] _ghost562 if you have some free space(i mean fully free,not asign to any partition) you can create a swap partition right away,however if you dont have a free space you can change size of a partition ,which will create some free space then use the freespace as swap [06:09] one partition for / of type ext4 one for swap of type swap [06:09] c2tarun: just boot the 12.04 install and run: sudo grub-install /dev/sda (or whatever drive you boot from) === gruber is now known as jsjgruber-x-q [06:10] as in like how some win7 machines come with, something I can re-install from if I mess up too horrifically [06:10] bcbc2, I am in 12.04 right now, so just running grub-install /dev/sda will fix? [06:10] c2tarun: Oh, so your amd driver is not supported? Mine actually works better than in 12.04. I don't like unity. kubuntu is way better. [06:10] c2tarun: yes [06:11] Degru, yeah, kubuntu is better, but I am kind of liking Unity-2D + conky. Its good :) [06:11] hey all [06:12] darkhelmet46: hello [06:12] bcbc2, I just got this message: "Installation finished. No error reported" Do I have to run grub-update or something like that? [06:12] lol. I stick with my gnome-fallback [06:12] c2tarun: no. it's not necessary [06:12] bcbc2, ok, I am rebooting now. [06:12] darkhelmet46: hi [06:13] ntzrmtthihu777: I usually stick with either some light-weight wm like windowmaker, xfce, or lxde, or I go with kubuntu [06:13] #quit [06:13] does anyone know of a windowmaker-based ubuntu flavor? [06:13] after installing 11.10, how do i upgrade to the newest os thing-a-ma-bob [06:14] yeah, but I cut my linux teeth on lucid and I liked the basic look and feel [06:14] ghostx562: I have never had a good experience doing the in-system update [06:14] Hello! Can someone here help me create a script to configure my wacom tablet? [06:14] what a mess, unable to log in via x after installing lamp-server with ethernet plugged in :/ how ever i can log in via x if i do restart and remove the ethernet plug. any idea fellas? [06:14] ghostx562: why install 11.10? Download the 12.10 cd and install that. [06:14] bcbc2, lolzz... :) I directly booted in 12.04 :) its like 12.10 automatically removed, I just have to format the partition. [06:15] ghostx562: and don't mess around with the update manager upgrade thing; it breaks your system [06:15] degru, i couldn't get 12.10 to install from usb. [06:15] so i got 11.10, and i will try to see if i can install it from there, if not i will keep 11.10 [06:15] then do a cd; the iso is so small you don't even need a dvd to do it [06:15] c2tarun: good. if you had run 'update-grub' it would have picked up the 12.10, but no point since you're removing it [06:15] _ghostx562 why cant u install? use unetbootin [06:15] bcbc2, yup, thanks :) [06:15] c2tarun: np [06:15] ntzr, i don't have a cd/dvd drive, it broke [06:16] ghostx562: try using "sudo dd if=/path/to/iso of=/dev/[your usb drive]" [06:16] well, i broke it [06:16] xD must suck. how old is the machine? it may not be able to boot a usb [06:16] ghostx562: it'll wipe your drive though [06:16] _ghost562 distro upgrade iswill be hack of a download + time sonsuming + the output wont be as classy as a fresh install [06:16] ntzr, its a 2006 pc, it does boot from usb, installng 11.10 using usb [06:17] ghostx562: use the same method you used for putting 11.10 on USB for 12.10 [06:17] the it shgould be able to boot a 12.x usb if the ussb is made rifght [06:17] you ~could~ edit your grub to boot from your usb if you're feeling adventurous [06:17] sahil_, i only installed this to see if it was soemthing with windows 8 not letting 12.10 install [06:17] the pendrivelinux site has several alternative tools for making a live-usb [06:17] Dr_Willis: I like using dd for simplicity [06:17] will try again. [06:17] _ghostx662 use unetbootin to install any linux os via usb [06:18] ive defainatly had Unetbootin fail. [06:18] me too [06:18] sahil, i will try it, let me get on the other pc [06:18] dd normally works.. but only newer ubuntu reelases support the dd method [06:18] and install it. [06:18] Dr_Willis: I like YUMI; you can put many different systems on one USB [06:18] theres dozens of ways to do iot [06:18] yeah [06:18] _d willis i am kinda new with dd is there a proper wiki? [06:19] sahil_: i suggest using the other tools if dd is new to you. ;) [06:19] ive never needed a dd wiki page [06:19] sahil_: It's basically "dd if=/path/to/iso of=/dev/sdX" [06:19] me neither [06:19] Yumi works well. [06:19] holy shit, that easy? [06:19] sahil_: I think dd means 'destroy drive'. most of the time you don't need it [06:19] what? [06:19] yumi? [06:20] I have burned ISOs to CDs that didn't boot, but they booted with Yumi. Go figure. [06:20] sahil_: it's easy and useful, though. [06:20] so should the partition in question be mounted, Dr_Willis ? [06:20] darkhelmet46: yes, i like YUMI. I have a USB with various repair/recovery distros on it [06:20] ntzrmtthihu777: Please keep the language clean [06:20] sorry, lo [06:20] *lol [06:20] _bcb2 well i gota raspberry pi kit yday so here no unetbootin will work i gota need dd here :) [06:20] sahil_: what school do you goto? [06:20] i go to borders and get the carbon copies in linux mag lol :) [06:21] sahil_: I use it too. Type carefully ;) [06:21] yep; once wiped my drive like that [06:21] bcb2 okey lol [06:22] sometimes i use dd for putting cd's on usb [06:22] "dd if=/dev/cdrom of=/dev/sdX" [06:23] So, I have an app that complains it cannot communicate withe the audio device driver. Think it's possible to fix it? [06:23] Dr_Willis: erm, not to pester, but using dd in that manner, do I need to mount the partition? [06:23] ntzrmtthihu777: no. it's accessing the device, not the mounted partition [06:24] im going to download 12.10 again, do i jeed 12.10 desktop or dvd? [06:24] k, so I should unmount the partition? [06:24] ntzrmtthihu777: unless you want to copy one partition; then use of=/dev/sdxX [06:24] ntzrmtthihu777: you should unmount the usb drive and then run it [06:25] hello [06:25] ntzrmtthihu777: this will destroy all other data on the drive. [06:25] well i have have a issue i am not able to boot my masine via x if i have ethernet plug plugge in however if i remove the plug and restrat i can log in via x.yes i do have lamp-server^ installled any idea guys? [06:25] lo Haxxa [06:25] Degru: no, I'm looking to use a small partition on my hdd. ok, thank you [06:25] machine * sorry [06:25] ghostx562: use the desktop iso [06:25] so dd if=/path/to/iso of=/dev/sdax right? [06:26] sda [06:26] degru: thanks [06:26] IF sda is the right device.... do NOT get it wrong [06:26] and use a bs=4M option [06:26] ntzrmtthihu777: no, you must use the entire drive === rootadmin is now known as crack [06:27] ntzrmtthihu777: if you want to use part of the drive then use a different method [06:27] yeah, I get that. its sda, just on my hdd. so I can't target a certain partition, Degru ? === crack is now known as crackth [06:27] using netbootin, for distro version do i use 12.10 live, hdmedia, or net install? [06:27] ntzrmtthihu777: no, it will probably break something. [06:27] ntzrmtthihu777: never tried targetting a partition [06:27] ntzrmtthihu777: dd is very simple it doesn't care about partitions or anything [06:27] ghostx562: id do a net install [06:28] :/ then how would I achieve the same for a particular partition of sda? [06:28] ntzrmtthihu777: it will just dump if onto of and won't care if there's a partition there or anything. [06:28] ok, copying files to usb [06:28] ntzrmtthihu777: idk, google? [06:29] xD lol. [06:29] google landed me in the ubuntu wiki suggesting unetbootin, and the linux unetbootin does not give you the install to hdd option === crackth is now known as crack [06:30] hi [06:30] I am looking for help [06:30] ask away, C0R3O5IVE [06:30] ntzrmtthihu777: You'd have to have a bootloader that can tell the computer to boot from that partition, so an OS would have to already be installed there, not just an ISO. [06:30] I just need a really quick documentation tip [01:28] You know how you can view C header files through terminal [01:28] is it possible to specify a header file and list all syntax associated with it? [06:30] yeah, I figure grub will handle that [06:30] As i asked on #ubuntu forums [06:31] If i chose defs.h [06:31] ntzrmtthihu777: not sure if it'll work with iso's though [06:31] and I wanted to use QWORD and DWORD [06:31] more of a cpp/c specific connection. [06:31] is this possible [06:31] Degru: you can boot from iso using grub, this is no problem, but I am hoping for a fallback [06:31] ntzrmtthihu777: can't help you there [06:32] well thanks for trying anyways :D [06:32] anyone know how to disable the "XXX has joined #ubuntu" messages? [06:32] You know how in terminal you can view all header files associated with 'C/C++'? Is it possible to view the syntax for a selected file in terminal so like if i wanted to view fcntl.h for example. what would I enter to view it? [06:33] C0R3O5IVE: You mean "cat fcntl.h | less"? [06:33] not a clue. use nano to read them if you want, or cat | more , but I suppose the syntax would be dependent on the way it was written [06:35] no idea [06:35] how do i disable the "xxx joined #ubuntu" messages? [06:35] depends on your client [06:36] no idea, but it is annoying [06:36] using irssi at the moment [06:36] there should be an irssi script for that, check their site [06:36] /ignore #ubuntu JOINS PARTS QUITS NICKS [06:36] irssi faq ;) [06:37] thankies, bcbc2 [06:37] will have to add that to the irssi config file :D [06:37] ntzrmtthihu777: np. this channel can be quite noisy ;) [06:38] i thought you did it once.. then saved your settings [06:38] /ignore -channels #mwsf * JOINS PARTS QUITS NICKS [06:38] not that I am aware of, I believe you have to add it to the dotfile for irssi [06:39] with weechat its just add it... then /save [06:39] ntzrmtthihu777: yes just /save [06:39] nice. [06:39] hi, where can i get info on putting the ubuntu phone OS or what ever it is, on a galaxy s3 or htc one(one,x,x+) ? [06:39] ntzrmtthihu777: see /help ignore for other options [06:40] !phone [06:40] Information about the Ubuntu Touch platform for Phone and Tablet is available here https://wiki.ubuntu.com/Touch support and discussion in #ubuntu-touch [06:40] yup, showed up in the freenode server thingus [06:41] /ignore * JOINS QUITS PARTS NICKS [06:41] ok there [06:41] that's better [06:42] weechat has smart filters. ;) [06:42] hi how a i add a new ssh user (open_ssh) [06:42] dr_willis: would that same channel and wiki be of use for the dell inspiron one2205 touch screen all in one?

Any ideas? [06:45] -Is it possible to get ubuntu to run comands when the cpu hits a certain temp [06:47] I guess if your cpu has a temp meter, you could get the output with sensors and have a cron job that checks every so often [06:47] whenever I open terminal it's default logged in root [06:47] why [06:47] my system wants to run everything as root today [06:47] and so I can't run chromium right now [06:48] nell what happens when you type exit in terminal [06:48] Dragokan === root is now known as Guest75149 [06:48] hi all [06:48] How would I go about setting up cron and lmsensors [06:48] !cron [06:48] cron is a way to schedule execution of software/scripts.

[07:24] sure, I suppose [07:25] im kicking myself for the way i set up the partitions on the server before i filled it up lol [07:25] lol [07:25] ntzrmtthihu777: i have to integrate this http://lab.hakim.se/reveal-js/ with http://www.websanova.com/plugins/paint [07:26] ooo, I like it [07:26] ntzrmtthihu777: the first link is a presentation thing and the 2nd one is a paint tool . i want the paint tool to appear in my slides.

[10:11] Xtreme: have a look in the audio-settings (click the speaker in the right top menu) there you will find all sound devices, enable the devices you want [10:11] lynxx i imagine its possible.. but that would be a huge security hole [10:11] you should not use adduser for letting anyone create an account on your server though, you should write a script that calls useradd, and only allows some things like the name to be specified [10:11] yeah was thinking the same [10:12] that's not the best idea either, but some shell providers do that. [10:12] iceroot, yes, but i can either enable bluetooth headset or speaker [10:12] not borh [10:12] the funny thing is that they block Tor connections for the user registration, but they don't block it for normal login [10:12] nyuszika7h, any place i can learn how to write such a script? [10:13] Lynxx: you should look into learning Bourne shell / bash scripting, and read the manual page of useradd (man useradd) [10:13] okay [10:13] one more question thank you so far [10:13] sure, sup? [10:13] why you would want such a script... ;) [10:13] Xtreme: http://forums.opensuse.org/english/get-technical-help-here/multimedia/461219-sound-multiple-output-devices-pulse.html [10:14] when i'm trying to connect to open-sshd ... it gives me login prompt which is fine, is there any way i can get it to display something else other than just login? [10:14] Lynxx: its the welcome message [10:14] Like a welcome title or something, this is for a friend of mine i'm trying to alow her some access to my machine so she can learn [10:14] okay where would i set this? [10:14] Lynxx: which is enabled by default on ubuntu [10:14] Lynxx: /etc/motd [10:15] Lynxx: you could just create her account with 'sudo useradd', it's pretty easy to use [10:15] okay let me check it out because so far all it does is go righ to the Login [10:15] and that can be confusing for a total newbie like her [10:15] okay yeah i was going to do that [10:15] Lynxx: oh, you mean _before_ login? [10:16] Yes [10:16] create a file, something like /etc/ssh/sshd_banner, and add the line "Banner /etc/ssh/sshd_banner" to /etc/ssh/sshd_config [10:17] also, if you want to suppress the notice about Ubuntu and stuff after login (the things in /etc/motd), you can use "ShowMOTD no" in the config or per-user, "touch ~/.hushlogin" [10:17] Is it safe for me to change the contents of MOTD [10:17] hello [10:17] or does it automatically update on it's own [10:17] iceroot: thanks mate, but i dont have the simultaneous option... :( [10:17] i notice it says 0 files for update etc.. seems like it writes to it .. but idk [10:18] Lynxx: it's safe to edit it, the dynamic MOTD is auto-generated and appended to the end of /etc/motd [10:18] ok cool [10:18] actually, it's appended to the output by sshd on connecting, not directly to /etc/motd afaik [10:18] (the dynamic MOTD consists of one line containing kernel information and stuff) [10:19] if you want a custom motd, it's usually a better idea to edit /etc/motd.tail; that'll append your stuff to the end of the motd [10:19] okay ... was just wondering because i did edit that banner part and then it got all mixed up next to the Login: field [10:19] instead of t here being a break inbetween [10:19] Lynxx: mixed up? how do you mean? [10:19] can you screenshot? [10:20] you could try adding a newline at the end of the file [10:20] I could it was basiccally like this [10:20] empty line [10:20] blah blah blah blah blah blahlogin: [10:20] instead of blah blah blah blah blah login: [10:20] ah, that means your editor didn't add a line break at the end [10:20] yes [10:20] just press Enter to make sure you have an empty line in the file [10:20] ah [10:20] okay lets play with this a bit and figure it out [10:21] i still gotta figure out why the only file in my new user is 'show.desktop' [10:21] because you haven't logged in as that user from the GUI, I guess [10:21] it will create Documents, Downloads etc. if you log in from the GUI, I think [10:21] but it should be safe to do it manually [10:21] (mkdir) [10:22] i should make a script to do all that lol would be easier i think [10:22] if you do it manually, you'll have to assign the manually created directories as Music, Pictures, etc., or some scripts won't work properly; it's safer to let the GUI do it [10:22] oh [10:23] ok then [10:23] ty [10:24] see: https://wiki.archlinux.org/index.php/Xdg_user_directories [10:24] ok [10:25] Lynxx: are you useing encrypted home directoriues? [10:25] how did you add the user? [10:26] I think (s)he used 'sudo adduser' as I suggested [10:26] adduser copies everything from /etc/skel to the new users home [10:27] dr_willis: aren't most of the things dotfiles there? [10:27] on quantal, .bash_logout .bashrc examples.desktop.profile [10:28] err, examples.desktop and .profile are two different files [10:28] stupid tabs [10:28] this is why I prefer to use spaces even for aligning things :P [10:28] (when using fixed-width, that is) [10:29] uhh, I think my sound is broken [10:29] terminal bell isn't working [10:29] the sound test works [10:30] nyuszika7h, be van-e minden kapcsolva? [10:30] i added the user from the system settings dialogue dr_willis [10:31] hmm [10:31] very interesting. I have managed to dd an iso to a 2gb partition, several times, I might add, but it always ends up with a bad magic number [10:31] Bit of a noob question here but, how do I update wine? [10:31] sudo apt-get update wine isnt working [10:31] sudo apt-get upgrade [10:31] oh its upgrade [10:31] ntzrmtthihu777: you dd if=file.iso of=/dev/sdb2? [10:31] emx: alsamixer-ben megtalaltam, a "Beep" volt lenemitva (for the others, it was muted - since you asked in Hungarian :P) [10:31] the old speaker-beep from years past is broken./disabled on many distros these days [10:32] update updates the package list, upgrade upgrades outdated packages [10:32] im a dimwit [10:32] nibbler: yup, exactly [10:32] nibbler: you mean sdb most likely... [10:32] so you need to use update first, or apt-get won't know there is a newer version [10:32] dr_willis: ntzrmtthihu777 talked of partitions... [10:32] actually I did it to /dev/sda3 [10:32] not sure why you would dd an iso to a sda3 [10:33] me neither ;-) [10:33] well it is actully the second partition, the numbering got scragged [10:33] JaySwizzle: sudo apt-get update && sudo apt-get upgrade [10:33] it will upgrade all packages [10:33] so its NOT an ISO file.. just a hd image file? [10:33] if there is a new version available [10:33] it is an iso file [10:34] so its a cd/dvd image then? [10:34] ntzrmtthihu777: and you can mount the iso, but not the partition/copy of it? strange. [10:34] wait a minute -- I think I got it. yeah, just like you get from releases.ubuntu.com [10:34] JaySwizzle: you will need to find a PPA if you're looking for a newer version than the one in the repo, because packages aren't updated after release just because there is a newer version available [10:34] I think I need to mount the iso first, and *then* dd the contents.\ [10:34] ntzrmtthihu777: but this does not have any purpose or such, right? [10:35] ntzrmtthihu777: if you use dd to write the image, sudo aptitude install syslinux [10:35] then isohybrid foo.iso [10:35] ntzrmtthihu777: use cp forthat, if you want to make usefulls tuff ;-) [10:35] then dd if=foo.iso of=/dev/sdb bs=4M or something like that [10:35] grub-install to sda3 gives an error message about it being a a iso9660 filesystem [10:36] you wouldent install grub to a iso filesystem [10:36] nyuszika7h, may i pm you? it's off topic.

[11:11] see the wodim/geniso docs i guess [11:11] morning all. i'm trying to remove a disk from lvm but not having much success - is anyone able to help? [11:11] no idea why you would want to make an iso fs on a hd... [11:12] you can set up grub2 to boot an iso FILE if needed [11:12] well, I am thinking to boot from it, and I just like trying things out. linux made me experimental, lol. [11:12] yeah, I've done that before dr_willis, just like to look at other angles, lol. [11:13] you can DD a ubuntu.iso to a HD.. thats not the same as formating it in iso9660 [11:13] since 9660 is a read ONLY format. as far as i know [11:13] the idea of a blank iso is a little useless. ;) [11:13] yeah, I get that. that's what the problem is, lol.

[12:10] ishtao: It doesnt fault for me. [12:10] ishtao: just pick one, both ubuntu lts and debian stable are good choices and I doubt you'll notice any difference. [12:11] thanks bekks, qwd :) [12:11] hey [12:12] How can I use the Pepper plugin in Chromium? [12:12] I want to batch rename a bunch of files by removing a common word in each of them. I do I pipe sed to the mv command to do this? [12:12] I got this [12:12] My sed command is sed "s/removethis//" [12:13] morning [12:13] Alabastard: I'd just loop it with ls [12:13] Morning Organik [12:13] I made up some udev rule to automount optical media cd-dvd etc on boot and on media change [12:14] it should be pretty easy, but I can gui it for you really easily, gprename will remove that word simply [12:14] this works as expected http://pastebin.com/LTXWefEU [12:14] Alabastard: rename 's/removethis//' *.foo [12:14] thanks, that worked [12:14] however I wanted it to use the actual label but when I add retrieve label code it makes boot take 3 times longer [12:15] I love cli as much as the next geek, but sometimes its more efficient to just gui it [12:15] Alabastard: Use mmv. And "sed" is no valid command for renaming files. [12:15] so this rule is slowing thinsg down http://pastebin.com/azS9yTTX [12:15] sure it is, it worked [12:15] can ubuntu be installed on any of the current tablets ? like samsung galaxy ? [12:16] Alabastard: No. rename was the command you used for renaming. [12:16] Alabastard: You just passed sed as an option. [12:16] Do you have aspergers [12:17] ummmm what? [12:17] Thanks again llutz. I shall be using sed to rename files in future! [12:17] any insights on the udev rules [12:17] what kind of fucked up question was "Do you have aspergers?" [12:17] Good night Australia :-( [12:18] anyways... ubuntu on ARM? does it work? [12:20] ok no takers on udev rules [12:22] silv3r_m00n: yeah, check out #ubuntu-touch [12:23] Organik: what are you trying to do, again? [12:23] automount cd/dvd ofrom boot and on media change [12:24] hmm. could you modify the fstab to do it? [12:24] no [12:24] morning all [12:24] sup [12:25] hi [12:25] I dont want fstab entries for removable media [12:25] not a clue if you don't wanna use that, sorry. [12:26] how can i recover a deleted folder from a usb memory stick in ubuntu?

[12:28] ntzrmtthihu777: thats ok, udev-rules requires a little more finessing [12:29] lol. outside of my knowledge atm, Organik [12:29] ntzrmtthihu777: I just wonder why my second udev rule that reads and mounts lables influemnce boot times [12:29] hublao: you can just right-click the pendrive icon on the unity panel and select "format" [12:30] ntzrmtthihu777: yea its not just outside your knwledge, or ppl who do know are playing it close to their chest === ericab is now known as ericab_away [12:30] yes!

[12:35] anyone know in which package the ubuntu notifications are included? [12:36] I'm getting all grey ones, not the default red ones [12:36] might have to do with my (now gone) Lubuntu DE when Compiz misbehaved [12:37] belgianguy: Mine arent red, too. [12:38] bekks: and your volume indicator, how does that look [12:38] grey. [12:38] belgianguy: the package is notify-osd, the color adjusts to your wallpaper, change it to default and see if they're red again [12:38] that used to be a bar in the top right, grey stripe on red background, but now it's a centered speaker [12:39] Kroach: it's both different in shape as in color [12:39] belgianguy: can you provide a screenshot? [12:40] Hi everyone, what does "Multiple active partitions" means? How to solve? I'm trying to install ubuntu using live-usb. Thanks. [12:43] Kroach: http://imgur.com/LwX1uu5,UxeDfgC [12:43] Hello, can someone please tell me how to find out for how long Ubuntu has been running (i.e. when I logged in) In windows I can do this by checking the uptime on the network connection. What are some ways of doing this in ubuntu? [12:44] belgianguy: that looks like a GNOME Shell notification [12:44] shape: htop [12:44] belgianguy: it's not installed :( [12:44] Kroach: how do I switch them back to 'Unity'? [12:44] shape: sudo apt-get install htop [12:44] belgianguy: yeah but shouldnt the program be installed first to check THIS login session or it doesnt matter [12:44] shape: `w` [12:45] zAo^: what is that "w" ? [12:45] shape: run it in console [12:45] shape: or 'who' [12:45] belgianguy: see if the notification-daemon package is installed, if you're not using GNOME Shell it's safe to remove it [12:46] belgianguy: you speak Dutch? [12:46] zAo^: I see, I get a time, is that the time I logged in? [12:46] belgianguy: and if notify-osd is not installed, install it [12:46] streulma: yes :) [12:46] shape: yes [12:46] belgianguy: ik ook, ben van Gent :) [12:46] zAo^: W works better actually, gives more info [12:47] zAo^: Thanks a lot, that saved me from installing htop as the other user recommended. [12:47] no [12:47] np [12:47] belgianguy: Thanks for the info, apparently I can find that out with the command " [12:47] belgianguy: "w" :) [12:47] htop is good [12:47] installing it by default :) [12:47] and also nmap ;) [12:48] zAo^: may I pm you? I have a quick question [12:48] streulma: Thanks!

[13:00] seeing as there is not a simple 'apt-get upgrade gnome' [13:01] belgianguy: it's the 'Unity' notifications package, log out and back in to check if the notifications change [13:02] Kroach: ah ok, thanks brb [13:02] py-can: when using 'apt-get upgrade' are any packages held back?

I install the ubuntu normally everything goes well, after the first retart I do the updates and then I do the second restart. There is when my problems start, the screen gets some vertical lines and starts blinking/glitching (dont really know which one is the most accurate) like hell and then I tried to use the vga to show image on [13:42] another screen, but when I do the ubuntu appears normally at login screen then when I enter the desktop the images freezes (cant enter any program neither any options) and I can only move my mouse nothing else. I really think this as something to do with the updates cause at first login nothing happens ... its really fustrating because even if its a driver that is doing this i cant change it because I cant do anything after the restart!!! please help [13:43] wow. [13:43] hi [13:43] ok, at the login screen choose unity-2d instead of full unity [13:43] assuming that is available, been a while since I messed with unity [13:44] but at second restart im unable to login cause the screen problem [13:44] only throw a external monitor and its freezes [13:44] hmm [13:44] ...

[14:13] how about - you need to learn at your own pace.. no nmap doc, aircrack-ng doc or anything will help you become a "hacker" [14:13] theadmin: all depends on what you are doing. testing your own networks security is not a bad thing [14:13] rajrajraj, see sectools , maybe you will choose what to do :p [14:13] maybe - reading the source code would make you less pointless [14:14] just understanding source is hard [14:14] not to mention to find the flaws [14:14] and exploit them [14:14] nice try at hacking then [14:14] that takes years [14:14] !ot [14:14] #ubuntu is the Ubuntu support channel, for all Ubuntu-related support questions. Please use #ubuntu-offtopic for other topics (though our !guidelines apply there too). Thanks! [14:14] exactly [14:14] thanks proby [14:14] Hi ..I was trying to install 12.10 inside VirtualBox (In osx 10.7.3). [14:14] The installer crashed, and i just noticed a typo in the message [14:15] there is any tutorial side [14:15] with example I can learn [14:15] akashj87: If you want to install Ubuntu 12.10 and up in Virtualbox, you'll need 3D acceleration enabled. Also make sure the VM has at least 512M of RAM, as well as enough HD space (5GB or more) [14:15] I think it will help me to exlore myself in the field of security [14:16] Look, quit bs-ing. you wanna crack, admit it.

Illegal stuff like cracking isn't supported anywhere on Freenode at all.

You should do that in a nickserv query. [14:18] change pwords ASAP! [14:18] yup, especially since we have a wannabe cracker in da channel [14:19] theadmin : issue occured when i started another VM ..looks like more of a virtualbox issue [14:19] lol - test case 1 [14:19] Eh guys, she was trying to *register*, not identify, there's no password yet [14:19] oh ya. wasnt real anyhow [14:19] theadmin : just wanted to report that typo error (Very minor one) [14:19] blueskaj but how can i install its if i cant enter the desktop after login [14:19] akashj87: Ah, well, that should be submitted as a bug to launchpad. [14:19] because its freezes .. [14:19] akashj87: ubuntu-bug ubiquity === nmgsc is now known as NewUbu [14:19] Hello you all [14:20] theadmin : sure ..thanks [14:20] ntzrmtthihu777: "its the application that makes anything illegal" thats nonsense. its people making illegal things, the tools are neutral (sry for OT) [14:20] I learning how to ubunutu but looks like I got a longway togo [14:20] hi guys, i just installed ubuntu 12.10, but it made my harddisk unbootable can anyone help? i triet installing it with and without uefi, and tried repairing grub [14:20] I locked myself outside of my vbox ubuntu server, just after creating it :/ [14:21] Need to run my applications as root any help on how please [14:21] and entering a root prompt via grub and issuing passwd user did not do it. [14:21] !sudo | NewUbu [14:21] NewUbu: 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 [14:21] NewUbu: sudo or gksudo [14:21] ntzrmtthihu777: call tech support, firewalls don't respond to "please" [14:22] belgianguy: no, lol. its a local one and I could just re-install, its just being an ass [14:22] ntzrmtthihu777 i did use gksudo in the terminal [14:22] vm, you drop to a TTY , which is a shell and you can enter coomands like the terminal , your just not running a desktop [14:22] but no go [14:22] what program, NewUbu [14:22] ntzrmtthihu777: ssh ? [14:22] yes but how i i download and then run that proprietary driver [14:23] belgianguy: I have a pc. it has virtualbox. I installed ubuntu-server in it. I messed up my password. [14:23] Im trying to make a partition in my Hdrive ntzrmtthihu777 KDE partition manager [14:23] belgianguy: I used the recovery option in grub to drop to a root shell [14:23] how do you run the program from command line? [14:23] what is the command [14:24] does anyone know where i can look? [14:24] ewht up guys, any oe know how to change my screen res. i install nvidia drivers and now it doesn't recongnize any other res [14:25] NewUbu: you paying attention? [14:25] ntzrmtthihu777: you got logged in in the recovery mode? "passwd " then [14:25] ntzrmtthihu777 I get a lil windows after I type this ----> ndro-HP-Compaq-dc7700-Small-Form-Factor-AAQ:~$ gksudo [14:25] I'm trying not to delete the partition and starting over [14:25] ah, that it. you need to type gksudo [14:26] in that little window ntzrmtthihu777 [14:26] ?¿? [14:26] zimzum_: I had the same issue with an install of backtrack some time ago, forgot what the solution was, sorry [14:26] no, in the command line all at once [14:26] in the little window you type your password [14:27] so for instance, to use gedit as root you would type: [14:27] or can i unistall nvidia driver and go back to normal [14:27] ?? [14:27] ße Right ßack ntzrmtthihu777 [14:27] gksudo gedit [14:27] zimzum_: likely. [14:27] now the big Q, how ? [14:28] how did you install them? [14:29] sudo apt-get nvidia, then it told could not, cause of dependincies,. so then i sudo apt-get depend [14:29] are you for real? is there even a depend package? anyways, get rid of it just how you got it. sudo apt-get remove --purge nvidia [14:30] purge, then it will wipe all?? [14:31] haha i should be using ubuntu right now... [14:31] it's spooky here, backups from my virtual servers come in to my Nas with ssh and rsync :) [14:31] at home [14:32] is someone always in here to talk to?? [14:33] zimzum_: we are not zombies, we sleep also :) [14:33] haha!! love it [14:34] streulma: speak for yourself [14:34] i gunna log in to other pc and try to purge hopefully will go back to normal, what if i upgrade to 12.10. will it be clean new install, or will ll my setting stay? [14:35] never do an in-install upgrade. it scrags everyting up [14:35] ok good to know, there has to be a solution, to my resolution [14:35] why has 12.10 less support than 12.04? [14:35] because 12.04 is a lts [14:36] !lts | edu [14:36] edu: 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) [14:36] all the .04 releases, if I rememeber right, are lts and supported longer [14:36] vm, have you tried the recovery option in the grub menu , that would be my first suggestion [14:37] edu ntzrmtthihu777 https://wiki.ubuntu.com/LTS [14:37] Thanks, but my question is about, why that way? A newer version would have more support... common sense i think. [14:38] i tried but im going to try one thing [14:38] i will install [14:38] then without doing the updates i will install the driver [14:38] that u sent me [14:38] edu: not really, the newer something is the less people know about it [14:38] and then i will restart and after do the ubuntu updates [14:38] how do I install a package without dependencies? I want to purge a package but it wants to remove linux-headers and other crucial packages too -.- [14:38] I mean uninstall sorry [14:39] but tello me something if i install the proprietary wehn i do the ubuntu update manager it will not install another one right? [14:39] no. [14:39] Plopiplop [14:39] Is there a French server ? :) [14:40] ntzrmtthihu777: but every 2 years people will have same problem. Less pople will know about it. [14:40] vm. drop to a tty at the login page , ctrl+alt+f1 , then login and sudo apt-get update;sudo apt-get upgrade [14:40] ubuntu is killing me === yeahuyen is now known as jm- === someone is now known as Guest30573 [14:41] vm thne install the driver if you have figured how [14:42] vm , or may not need to install that driver , if there were updates/upgrades that may have fixed your problem [14:43] not true, edu . I find that errors tend to be immortalized [14:43] I had installed ubuntu10.04 ultimate edition2.4 but I had a bad experience!!!! [14:43] change terminal emulator in yakuake? [14:44] how to change your terminal emulator preferences to allow login shell in Yakuake? [14:44] ultimate edition? what do you even mean? [14:45] ntzrmtthihu777 when you said input comand where do i do it in terminal or in the lilwindow [14:45] so i tried sudo apt-get remove --purge nvidia, and says unabl to locate paackage [14:45] terminal [14:45] witch command?/ [14:45] zimzum_: then that is not how you installed it, that simple [14:46] NewUBu: whatever the command for the kde partitioner is.

[14:48] when i click the nvidia app, window pops and says, i need to just run `nvidia-xconfig` as root [14:48] i don't see the issue. when I open gparted, whether from command line or from the menu, it asks for my password [14:48] looking for KDE menu please [14:49] blueskaj_ no nvidia driver for default [14:49] ciaoooo [14:49] !list [14:49] Guest55053: No warez here!

[14:51] so I dont have all the options [14:51] what is the program name [14:51] ntzrmtthihu777, no it's a config text file [14:52] gotcha.

[14:54] is it cause i didn't run as root?? [14:54] NewUBu: if you don't know how to use ubuntu (which is ok), why do you want to do things as root (admin)? there is mostly no need to do daily things as root, use your user [14:54] NewUBu, be careful with the partiton manager on kubuntu , it failed a couple time and caused me a long wait til I got gparted livecd to repair the damage === maxx is now known as Guest88001 [14:54] llutz is the only way to learn it === najam_ is now known as najam [14:54] NewUBu: wrong [14:55] I need to load up Windows8 to do a dual boot Mr llutz [14:55] kdesudo partitionmanager [14:55] Im not afraid of making mistake [14:55] i will learn the hard way [14:55] but I will learn [14:55] :} [14:56] NewUBu: Very Good best of luck [14:56] NewUBu: you already installed windows8?

[15:24] ntzrmtthihu777: cool i be right back thx [15:24] does ubuntu have a folder like redhats /etc/sysconfig ? [15:24] squigle: What exactly are you looking for? [15:24] squigle: linux has directories not folders [15:24] ntzrmtthihu777 and if for example i fire up the dash you can see the blurry icons of the apps on the tray, it's like they're there but once the dash is gone they're invisible again (and clicking over the area where they should be doesn't produce any reaction) [15:25] squigle: there are a bunch of conifig files in the /etc directory [15:25] histo: no need to get technical. for all intents and purposes directory == folder [15:25] ho use winehq [15:25] bekks, im trying to debug an issue with network managers vpn client, I want to increase the logging.I found the config, but It can be overridden on the cmd line start up. I can just jump into the startup scripts I guess [15:25] konam: not a clue, I got off of that horrible machine unity long ago [15:25] histo, yes, sorry folder->directory [15:26] ntzrmtthihu777 well, thanks for the help [15:26] hi, how to check if my memory is ddr2 or ddr3? I used hardinfo and lshw, none of the output makes sense to me. thanks. [15:26] ntzrmtthihu777: folder is a windows term. [15:26] sgo11: open your machine, easier [15:26] alias cf=cd ;-) [15:26] lol [15:26] squigle: Basically, the filesystem structure of Ubuntus /etc differs from RHEL /etc. [15:27] ntzrmtthihu777, :) other than that, how to do that in ubuntu? thanks. [15:27] histo: and it makes not a lick of difference in practical usage. [15:27] !fsh [15:27] ntzrmtthihu777: Just pointing it out. Chill out please [15:27] bekks, I know, i was using debian like and work has been redhatish for the last few years, === fantaghir is now known as guest45578 [15:30] lshw gives me "2GiB DIMM Synchronous 800 MHz (1.2 ns)". is this ddr2 or ddr3 ram? thanks. [15:30] sgo11: not a clue, but thank you for the new cl trick [15:31] ntzrmtthihu777: i got it lookig purrty again === ubuntu is now known as Guest42487 [15:31] sgo11: Use more -v flags to get more info? [15:31] zimzum_: good! just a bios switch? [15:31] yup [15:31] sgo11, dmidecode will be able to tell you [15:31] cool [15:31] czesc [15:31] sgoll: it sounds like DDR2 [15:31] but now i can't utulize my accelorator : ( [15:32] escott, I did run dmidecode. but didn't get any useful information. which line should I look at? thanks. [15:32] ah, I actually know about that one [15:32] DONT care tho [15:32] Why does Compiz support both workspaces and desktops, but only provide ways to *switch* workspaces? Surely having more than one desktop is pretty much pointless without the ability to change? [15:32] sgo11, try " sudo lshw -short -C memory " [15:32] sgoll: Did you run 'dmidecode --type memory' [15:32] zimzum_: bumblebee should be able to do it [15:32] guys need some help here i downloaded the lasst ati driver for my device but when i run the .run files it sasys "One or more tools required for installation cannot be found on the systerm. Install the required tools before installing the fglrx driver." [15:32] OerHeks, I did that. the output is just "2GiB DIMM Synchronous 800 MHz (1.2 ns)" [15:33] ntzrmtthihu777: ok i'll try that and that is good program [15:33] cheueee: run the command from terminal, it should tell you more [15:33] cheueee: fglrx is best installed from the repositories, rather than a direct download from the manufacturer. [15:33] zimzum_: you got my links, right? I can post them again [15:33] sgoll: I have DDR3, and it is coming up at 1333MHz, I think DDR2 800MHz is valid [15:34] sgo11, sudo dmidecode | grep DDR [15:34] ntzrmtthihu777: no i should have bookmarked them, if you still got, i'll take um [15:34] axtran, I did run that. the output is unclear. no DDR info at all. [15:34] sgo11, alternately open the case and look at it [15:34] axtran: Doesn't work like that, I'm afraid. There's overlap in the possible frequencies. [15:35] axtran, http://www.pasteall.org/40182 [15:35] zimzum_: gotcha, one sec [15:35] cheueee: is there a reason you aren't installing from the repos? [15:36] .... this is so hard. why is so hard to check memory type in linux? [15:36] !ati | cheueee [15:36] cheueee: For Ati/NVidia/Matrox video cards, see https://help.ubuntu.com/community/VideoDriverHowto [15:36] hello [15:36] sgoll: Yeah, I think 800MHz indicates DDR2. [15:36] sgo11: really how do you check it in other OS's? [15:36] axtran: clock speed does not indicate type [15:36] zimzum_: http://ubuntuforums.org/showthread.php?t=1913567&p=11635534#post11635534 [15:36] so i'm trying to install an app using ./configure, make, and make install. but it got an error and failed. and it doesn't have uninstall file. how do i undo this? [15:36] Someone uses Windows [15:36] histo, there are lots of apps in windows to do this. [15:36] !ops | Bill_Gates [15:36] Bill_Gates: Help! Channel emergency!

[15:37] sgo11: Is there a reason you can't open the case and look? [15:37] Bill_Gates: plenty of people do, what Ubuntu support question did you have? [15:37] axtran, but, i think mine is ddr3. [15:37] ntzrmtthihu777: yes? [15:37] sgo11, why is it useful to know from userspace? [15:37] artrei: check the "Install" part of the makefile and remove all the files manually. next time use checkinstall [15:37] histo, because I am using this PC right now. so I can't open it. and I want to find out the memory type now without a reboot. [15:37] Myrtti: obvious troll is obvious. I bet its the same fella from earlier [15:37] sgoll: What processor are you using? [15:37] sgo11, but why? [15:38] sgo11: you can usaually safely open it. [15:38] sgo11: You are being silly. [15:38] is it a pc or laptop? [15:38] ntzrmtthihu777: and you can try to defuse the situation yourself, as it did right now, without ops actually needing to do anything. === myRtu is now known as StuxNet [15:38] Myrtti: my bad then, I apologize. [15:39] ntzrmtthihu777: Thx dude much [15:39] He didn't even do anything [15:39] Myrtti: I'm here to help and be helped, and folks coming in here and bashing and such detract fromt that [15:39] anyway. I will open the case later then. I just do not want to shut it down now, and I have to tell somebody else the memory type. this is just a valid situation. I don't know why I am silly. I have web services running here. and somebody asked me to tell him my memory type. that's it. [15:40] ntzrmtthihu777: he might have had a valid question relating Windows dualboot or something :-) anyway, moving on. [15:40] sgo11: you could just google your pc/laptop, you could likely get your answer there. [15:41] sgo11: I wouldn't trust a userspace tool over my own two eyes but good luck with it. [15:41] ntzrmtthihu777, histo thanks. I will open the case later then. thanks. [15:42] Myrtti: like bill gates would dual bood lol. again, my bad. already had one windows jerk (not that all windows users are) in here and I'm a bit agitated [15:42] I left a job in Windows Administration and am so happy I don't even have to do any of it anymore. [15:42] zimzum_: gotta go. I'll be on more or less constantly if you need another thing. later all === zz_Karbowiak is now known as Karbowiak [15:44] ntzrmtthihu777: cool man, i'll be here all day, working on the nvidiz thing [15:44] I am now officially windows free. not microsoft free because there are some things that linux does not offer yet, lol. glad for it, though [15:44] So I'm running Lucid Lynx 10.04, is it worth it to upgrade to 12. My friend has it on his laptop, and I absoultely hate it, the terminal is hidden, it looks like shitty mac, and I have so many compiled little programs on here I fear will fail if I upgraded to 12 [15:44] QuantumElectroDy: try xubuntu or gnome shell [15:45] QuantumElectroDy: try Pinguy OS [15:45] QuantumElectroDy: but yes, you'll need to upgrade [15:45] ntzrmtthihu777: I'm just trying to live life away from Microsoft stuff :) [15:45] I don't need a new OS, I have freeBSD the master OS. It's just on this ubuntu, it keeps telling me to update to 12, for secutity patches bla bla [15:45] axtran: yeah, but there is no linux port of rpg maker xp yet, so wine I must do [15:45] QuantumElectroDy: 10.04 goes out of support next month, so yeah [15:46] Alfa PVP, TMA,TMA2, DOB, DOI, DOM, 2c-*, MXE, MDPV, PCP, DMT,5-MeO-DALTbk-MDMA [15:46] Drogas de diseño legales SKYPE : sevdrugs [15:46] QuantumElectroDy, calm your fears , yoiur pc and your friend's aren't the same and the look depends on your theme settings etc , upgrading to 12.04LTS should be painless === EricAndr_ is now known as EricAndrews [15:46] Last time I upgraded from 9 to 10, so many of my programs stopped working [15:46] prefquan: Stop that, this is Ubuntu support [15:47] QuantumElectroDy: for one, I have never had a good update experience. fresh is always better. [15:47] QuantumElectroDy: yeah - upgrades aren't fun, but your programs will *really* stop working if you're on an EOL release [15:47] question, i've dl-ed and unziped jdk 7, added the bin path to the .profile, but upon running say, javac, i get the standard ubuntu thingie that says that javac is present in the following packages etc. [15:47] yeats: Technically, thats not true. [15:47] bekks: yeah - I understand that [15:47] QuantumElectroDy, then you should have come here for help and it's time to upgrade since your OS is at EOL [15:47] can someone help me that i could actually run the javac that came with the jdk 7? [15:48] bop: I personally find the webupd8 method of installing Oracle Java a bit easier than the downloading the binaries [15:48] QuantumElectroDy: I'll rephrase - upgrading from EOL releases can get complicated - better to upgrade now (or do a fresh install as suggested) [15:48] Myrtti: mind sharing how to do that? [15:48] bop: if I'm not entirely mistaken, it even takes care of setting the preferred java version for you [15:48] !java > bop [15:48] bop, please see my private message [15:49] Has anyone run into the splicing error (input/output) when copying data to a USB HDD? [15:49] Apart from some security patches I don't see a big deal of upgrading to 12, I hardly use the internet on ubuntu. This is my C programming OS, with everything I need on here. My main OS's are WIN7 and freeBSD, so I just don't see amassive point in upgrading to 12 even though I won;'t get OS updates, but program via apt will still get updates I guess [15:49] Myrtti: i guess you're opposed to a pm or two eh? [15:50] bop: kinkeh :P [15:50] QuantumElectroDy: programs will no longer get updates via apt, no [15:50] bop: if you read the Wiki/support page the bot offered, IIRC it has the webupd8 method listed in it [15:50] yeah, use that. I use their ppa on all my machines for java [15:51] Myrtti, the thing is, i have some java-related questions that dont directly concern ubuntu, just partly [15:51] is it possible in ubuntu server to it setup to install the most updated phpmyadmin package? So far it is installing 3.4.10.1deb1 when isteas the most recent and stable version is 3.5.7 === ntzrmtthihu777 is now known as ntzrmtthihu777|a [15:51] perhaps to change is sources.list for repository? [15:51] bop: well in java questions I'm absolutely no help at all, I just need it to do Internet banking. [15:51] SAngeli: No. You have to install it manually when in dire need of the latest version. [15:51] Myrtti, ah ok, thanks for the link [15:52] ok, bekks thanks for the clarification [15:54] ah one more thing, where to get the password to login as root? doing sudo all the time is kinda annoying? [15:54] !root | bop [15:54] bop: 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 [15:55] wth :/ [15:55] bop, you can change the sudoers file so you dont have to enter the password each time you have to use sudo. bad idea to enable the root account [15:55] bop: There are reasons we don't enable the root password. It can be done, but it's strongly advised not to. [15:55] would anyone help me with phpbttracker? [15:55] yeah, as long as someone from ubuntu/canonical doesnt have the root pw, I guess Im fine with that [15:56] or do sudo -i to become root temporarily [15:56] man, stuff has changed since my slackware days [15:56] bop [15:56] bop: There really *isn't* a root password. Root's entry in /etc/shadow is an impossible hash. [15:56] would anyone help me with phpbttracker? [15:56] bop: There is no root pw. [15:56] bop: So no one can have it. === Kitar|st_ is now known as Kitar|st [15:57] bekks: There's a root password *hash*, though. The fact that no password can possibly hash to it is beside the point. [15:57] compdoc: generally enabling "NOPASSWD" is even more stupid than to activate the root account [15:57] Darael: There isnt. [15:57] Darael: There is no password, so there is no hash, so no hash can matc. [15:57] bekks: Of course there is. That's how the "no root password" thing is implemented: the hash consists of a character that can't appear in a legitimate hash. [15:58] so if i use bumblebee, that will utilize my nvidia card right?? [15:58] bekks: Specifically, a "!". It's the second field for root's line in /etc/shadow. [15:58] Darael: Which is the same as I just told you - the must be some character in that file, for the hash, to not break parsing. [15:59] Hello! [15:59] bekks: And the same as what I said. There's a root password hash, as far as the machine is concerned, it's just an impossible one. [16:00] I am wondering if somebody has any idea how to install WLAN drivers for a MacBook Pro 2012, with Ubuntu as OS. [16:00] would anyone help me with phpbttracker? [16:00] I looked it up on the forums but they are abit out of date. Some packages that's in the guide does not exist. [16:00] Mixit: i would imagine the same as any other hardware - defining what type of card you have [16:01] Mixit: do you know the type of card which ships with your Mac? if not you should be able to use lspci or lshw to get it - and then you can look further into what drivers are needed additionally [16:02] hi, i just installed ubuntu, but i encountered a problem. my android phone cant connect to my pc for file sharing [16:03] cagrijost you enable usb on your android phone? [16:03] cagrijost, android 4+? [16:03] cagrijost: In my experience, those Android phones that don't get autodetected have connected in MTP mode, and will often work with gmtp even if they don't otherwise. [16:03] cagrijost: android removed mass storage option [16:03] Hi! I'm still newbie, trying to learn the most basic stuff. Not sure this is the right forum though. I've built a HTPC and installed Ubuntu. Now I'm trying to get XBMC to list winrar files. I came so far that I've added a PPA, but I have no idea of how to go on from here :( [16:04] android didnt remove mass stoarge option [16:04] ::whew:: [16:04] I have 4.2.2 [16:04] mediamaschine: ask in #xbmc [16:04] i thought i was going crazy - i have mass storage option as well on 4+ [16:04] thanks [16:04] mikestewart: removed on my galaxy gs3 [16:04] mikestewart, it removed usb mass storage in favor of mtp === ubuntu is now known as Guest14275 === Guest14275 is now known as krabador [16:06] On some phones, the mass storage option doesn't allow access to... various things. My San diego, for example, although that's only running ICS. Either way, gmtp can generally handle the phone in MTP mode, because it ignores the libmtp "argh I don't recognise this" if it determines the phone is running Android and uses some generic... thingy. [16:06] Why does Compiz support both workspaces and desktops, but only provide ways to *switch* workspaces? Surely having more than one desktop is pretty much pointless without the ability to change?

[16:16] ronalds_m: If the file is still missing, try downloading the package from packages.ubuntu.com, opening it with `file-roller` (the Archive Manager), and replacing it with the copy therein.

Are we talking just in gnome-terminal (the terminal app), or in TTYs as well? [16:17] however thre ubuntu-x-swat repos don't seem to show an ATI compatible driver [16:17] rndbit: If the former, it's under edit->profile preferences.

Um, from memory, System Settings (from the top right), Appearance, and change the theme in the bottom-left of the window.

But when I try to do: " gpg --output revoke.asc --gen-revoke MYKEYHERE" it says gpg: secret key MYKEYHERE not found: eof. Any idea what's wrong? [16:23] rndbit: I *liked* adwaita. Not off the top of my head. Judging by the themes I've seen, something about the way a lot of the system is done makes it *really* hard to create one that works. The people who write the GUIs quite clearly assume a light theme. Annoying, isn't it? [16:23] definitely... they make our eyes to suffer =| [16:24] Extreme: Check the key ID using gpg --list-secret-keys in case Seahorse is doing something odd. [16:24] Darael: I have already tried that command. But it doesn't return _any_ outputs. :( [16:25] Extreme: That suggests that gpg isn't aware of the key at all, which is... pretty odd. See if gpg --list-keys shows anything? It's possible that the private key is in fact missing? [16:27] Darael: yes. This is the output: http://paste.ubuntu.com/5582627/ [16:28] Extreme: And do those match the key ID as shown in Seahorse? [16:28] Extreme, is your private key in your keyring?

[16:29] Darael, :) actually I was about to ask how to disable the keyring [16:29] got this trying 32 bit apps on a 64 bit host using Ubuntu 12.04.2 with quantal kernel+xorg: libGL error: dlopen /usr/lib/i386-linux-gnu/dri/i965_dri.so failed (/usr/lib/i386-linux-gnu/dri/i965_dri.so: undefined symbol: drm_intel_gem_bo_map_unsynchronized) I reported the problem under https://bugs.launchpad.net/ubuntu/+source/mesa/+bug/1142305 as well. Any ideas? ;-) [16:29] Launchpad bug 1142305 in xserver-xorg-video-intel-lts-backport-quantal (Ubuntu) "Running 32 bit software in 64 bit 12.04.2 with quantal xorg+kernel doesn't work with i965" [Undecided,New] [16:29] when I start laptop I get a keyring which asks for a password. Is there any way to disable it? [16:30] Darael: yes; one of them matches the key in Seahorse. (I have two keys listed in Seahorse but the command which you gave me above shows only one key) [16:30] escott: my keyring is something different. [16:30] Extreme, the gnupg keyring? [16:31] hmm, what's the default size of Dash icons? [16:31] escott: sorry. what do you mean? [16:31] I've added one that was quite oversize, but Dash didn't resize it [16:31] so it's a huge icon now [16:31] c2tarun: Assuming th'art running Ubuntu, that message has nothing to do with Chrome. If ChromeOS, then this is not really the right channel (though someone may know anyway). [16:32] Darael, I am using ubuntu, and I get that msg after installing chrome only, and if I cancel it without entering password then, chrome will not able to open any website, but firefox and opera opens [16:33] Darael, also, if I use chrome with more than 5 tabs for a while, then it starts getting slow and takes almost 100% of my CPU :( whole system gets slow :( [16:33] c2tarun: That would be to do with Chrome storing passwords in one of the GNOME keyrings. These can be managed with Seahorse (the Passwords & Keys tool): Find the relevant keyring, and check the box to have it unlock at login. [16:33] c2tarun: what Ubuntu version? [16:33] Extreme, 12.04.2 [16:33] has anybody had issues with their laptops not waking up from suspend in 13.04? [16:34] d1zzYLuLz: Thou'lt get a better answer in #ubuntu+1 [16:34] oops [16:34] d1zzYLuLz, o/ [16:34] sorry [16:34] ohh.. sorry :P I replied for 12.04 [16:35] c2tarun: open "Seahorse", search for "password" or similar, and right click on the item. Choose Change Password and type the current password and leave the new one blank. (Like: http://goo.gl/F6DlN ) [16:35] d1zzYLuLz: It's not a problem, but we focus on supported releases in here. #ubuntu+1 is focused on the current development release, so it is likely to provide better answers for Raring. At least for the next month or so. [16:36] hi, how to play mp3s in browsers? [16:36] right on...was just wondering if anybody found a fix and if not, where to file a bug report and what to include w/ it [16:37] 12.10 worked fine...the only install media i had though was 13.04 so im' stuck for the day and figured i could try to help out while i was stuck with it [16:37] superdo: It depends on the browser. Some, at least, should support it out of the box. [16:37] is there an easy way i could downgrade my 13.04 system to 12.10? [16:37] Darael, hm firefox not by default [16:37] d1zzYLuLz: no [16:37] d1zzYLuLz: only with a reinstall [16:38] !bug | d1zzYLuLz [16:38] d1zzYLuLz: If you find a bug in Ubuntu or any of its derivatives, please file a bug using the command « ubuntu-bug » - See https://help.ubuntu.com/community/ReportingBugs for other ways to report bugs.

[16:45] Darael: Oops. Is there anything wrong with leaving those keys like this? [16:45] If they were anywhere, I'd expect them to be in thy private keyring... and according to GPG, they aren't. [16:45] Sashmo: if you configure an iface in /etc/network/interfaces, networkmanager should ignore that iface [16:45] Extreme: If th'art not going to use them, and especially if they've never been uploaded to a keyserver, nope. Just delete the public keys and have done. [16:46] I hope I'm not interrupting something but can anyone help me?? [16:46] Darael: the problem is, i uploaded them to Ubuntu keyserver. :/ [16:46] !ask | Gyhy [16:46] Gyhy: Please don't ask to ask a question, simply ask the question (all on ONE line and in the channel, so that others can read and follow it easily).

[16:47] Extreme: With a new keypair, it's easy enough to get people to sign them so that they are considered more trustworthy than the old pair. Also one can just give out the key IDs for the correct keys, or if using no keys, point out to anyone that asks about them that th'art using no PGP keys, and the old ones are out of use. [16:47] Hi guys! I have installed freebasic on my ubuntu 12.04 64 bit. But it requires 32 bit libs: libx11, libxext, libxrandr, libxrender, libxpm. I want to install them, the system want to remove many other 64 bit files. How can i install 32 bit libs without remove the other files? [16:47] Ok, sorry for being in the wrong channel. Have a nice day.. [16:47] llutz: thanks man, are you 100%? becuase the machine is remote, and I dont want to lock my self out [16:48] Extreme: These are just precautions against someone managing to forge signatures down the line, which is pretty unlikely, but possible. [16:49] Sashmo: check /etc/NetworkManager/NetworkManager.conf [16:49] llutz: checking.... [16:50] Nobody for my pb plz ? [16:51] llutz: shows some things, but the line that probably make sense is the no-auto-default=(my mac 1),(my mac2) [16:51] llutz: I guess that means that both have static ip's ?

[16:54] Extreme: Also so people can correct me if I say something stupid. [16:55] llutz: I dont get it? there are two connections there, and I need to fix eth1, but I can leave eth0 as is, is there not a place that I can go and change it? All I need to do is change one digit in the ip address, and the machine I do have access to dosnt have X server, so I cant run the nm-connection-editor [16:55] Sashmo: there is nmcli [16:56] (JulienP) Ive git a pb with double screen: when i unset same picture for the both screen, it say : size for CRTC 147 is up to autorize limit. Max 1680 1680. What need i to do plz ? [16:56] Sashmo: also check /etc/NetworkManager/system-connections/ you might do your changes there [16:56] llutz: thanks, hmmn, I'll check that..... is there anything else I can use to get x server running on windows with SSH? putty is not working for me [16:56] hi [16:57] Sashmo: you'll need a windows xserver like xming [16:57] lloks like that site is down....

[17:02] i am using ubuntu 12.10 hp 2000 64 bits [17:02] and it freezes constantly [17:03] Sashmo: i'd guess, those are the connections networkmanager uses. [17:03] Darel which ubuntu you use ? [17:03] llutz: but no other special things that I need to change?? like a 3rd file for something stupid.... === darkzero is now known as mehmetali [17:04] Sashmo: 3rd file? you should make sure that you configure your network _either_ in networkmanager (those files from /etc/NetWorkManager....) or /etc/network/interfaces.

[17:50] So an LTS release every two years is the (regular) schedule?

[18:46] IdleOne: [18:46] The last this ugur said was "Fine, don't help me." [18:46] Darael: what did he do, exactly? [18:46] Hello, I'm trying to get append some url to a config file in a bash script with no success http://pastie.org/6372799 help is welcomed, all the line returns are fucked up, I guess, it's the ">>" operator [18:47] *The last thing [18:47] ntzrmtthihu777: Got ugur out of the channel. [18:47] aster_resta: No swearing please [18:47] aster_resta: is it a root config file? [18:47] I have installed some packages on one computer and want to install the same on other. How can use the downloaded packages in /var/cache/apt/archives to prevent downloading of the same packages [18:48] aster_resta: Can't access, site contains !malware [18:48] ntzrmtthihu777: just a screenrc, I'm trying to manipulate the system one (the paste script is just pasting it in current directory, same problem occures) [18:48] ntzrmtthihu777: just a screenrc, I'm trying to manipulate the system one (the paste script is just pasting it in current directory, same problem occurs) [18:48] SonikkuAmerica: paste is safe as far as I know [18:49] aster_resta: College proxy blaocked it [18:49] meet: If they're on the same network, try squid-deb-proxy (on the machine that's downloaded them) and squid-deb-proxy-client (on the other(s)). Should then be automatic. Otherwise, just copy /var/cache/apt/archives between the machines (but sudo will be necessary to place them on the second, of course). [18:49] *blocke [18:49] aster_resta: no need to repost over a tiny typo. hmm, try using tee instead, like echo "foo://bar.com/" | tee .screenrc [18:49] *BLOCKED (Grr) [18:49] <|thunder> !no-unity [18:49] !nounity [18:49] Ubuntu 11.10 and higher use GNOME 3 with the !unity shell by default. To use GNOME Shell instead, from 12.10 an up install the "ubuntu-gnome-desktop" package. From 11.04 to 12.04, 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 [18:49] <|thunder> ty [18:49] yw [18:49] !u [18:49] U is the 21st letter of the modern latin alphabet. Neither 'U' nor 'Ur' are words in the English language.

[18:49] SonikkuAmerica: apparently now menus are back again, I've uninstalled "nvidia-current" package IIRC and rebooted, in system info the graphical card is still set to unknown, so the driver is, I think this can cause issues later? [18:50] Darael: I put the packages in that folder using sudo. But on giving the sudo apt-get install chromium-browser command at it starts downloading the whole pacakge again. [18:50] YARDIM EDEN YOKMU YAFFFFFFFFF [18:50] TÜRK YOKMUUUUUUUUUUU [18:50] meet: sudo dpkg -i *.deb not apt-get [18:50] ugur_: we speak the same language.

[18:51] SonikkuAmerica: bad college proxy !

Good attempt, though. [18:51] ugur_: [18:51] Ubuntu için Türkçe desteği kanalı vardır: # ubuntu-tr. Bu İngilizce kanal olduğunu. [18:52] Who's got the op powers? [18:52] NERDEN GİRİYOZ ONA SONİKKOAMERİCA ????? [18:52] Okitain: we all have op powers. [18:53] ntzrmtthihu777: seems like same problem, I'll try to replace curl with wget [18:53] aster_resta: what exactly are you trying to do? [18:53] bastidrazor: Ummm... no we dont' [18:54] YARDIM YAF YARDIM BİŞİ YAPAMIYORUM [18:54] UBUNTU DA [18:54] SonikkuAmerica: what I don't understand is, if it doesn't detect my graphical card, why can I even see things on the screen? [18:54] How can I generate a list of installed packages that match a patterns? I'd like just the package names. but apt-cache search and dpkg -l give a lot of extra information meant for humans. For the sake of argument, I'm not human :) [18:54] ntzrmtthihu777: I'm tired of changing every time the same things on my virtual machine I'm making a script to setup everythin [18:54] g [18:54] aster_resta: wget -a ~/screenrc https://raw.github.com/nojhan/dotfiles/master/.screenrc [18:54] ugur_: Tüm kapaklar kullanarak değil misin? === JoFo_ is now known as JoFo [18:54] ugur_: we don't speek turkish [18:55] NAS ANLAMADIM KARDEŞ [18:55] ugur_: Please stop.

I ran an unfortunate find script last night, and I'm trying to unwind it. [18:56] HelloWorld321: ouch. [18:56] ntzrmtthihu777: be helpful or be quiet please. [18:56] YARDIM OF OF OF [18:56] ntzrmtthihu777: tx [18:56] IdleOne: I am attempting. maybe he speaks a language i know and I can help [18:56] HelloWorld321: Good question... check #ubuntustudio [18:56] llutz: thanks [18:56] llutz: i am getting some broken package error [18:57] llutz: it add the return of wget to the file ... [18:57] not good ;) [18:58] do i need to add a repo to install flash player if i installed the minimal mini.iso? [18:58] hi, someone put in a custom rootkit that tells jokes when I login as root. how do I delete it? === sgerbino is now known as p1und3r [18:58] do i need to add a repo to install flash player if i installed the minimal mini.iso? [18:59] c|oneman, you sure its not just MOTD? [18:59] c|oneman: did you by chance check if there are any interesting . files in roots home? [18:59] like compdoc is saying it may just be an MOTD - [18:59] c|oneman: could be something added to root's bashrc too [18:59] or anything interesting in roots . files in that case [19:00] aster_resta: ? maybe i got you wrong, didn't you want to get the file-content from the URL being added to your screenrc file? [19:00] klrr: Check if the Partner repo is enabled. I think that's all. It should be in /etc/apt/sources.list, but possibly commented out. [19:00] indeed yes [19:00] aster_resta: thats what the wget does [19:01] its just meant a joke but im tired of asking him to remove it, it asks you a riddle when you login [19:01] could I get a bit of assistance sharing internet by ethernet cable? [19:01] on my machine I see the log append to the file (seems said in the man) [19:01] c|oneman: again - check the /root/.* files [19:02] Darael: ty [19:03] llutz: I've just curl $url >> output file … seems to work [19:04] i think wget may put the html output to stderr or something [19:04] c|oneman: if its the motd file use "touch .hushlogin" to make the shell not show it [19:04] well it doesnm [19:04] doesn't let me continue if I asnwer wrong, so its not just a message, its a script [19:04] thats because if you have to answer a riddle its probably not a motd [19:04] its probably a script [19:04] wget yadayada -o- | tee - file should do it, or tee file - [19:04] and in the SAME way - you need to check the .* files [19:05] what size of partition linux minimal need? [19:05] c|oneman: if it's starting at login it's in the users directory somewhere - if you wnt it stopped you need to look for it - thats all [19:05] I think I took care of ugur, I had a tranny chat with im in /q [19:05] its not like it would be hard to find - look in the users /root/.* files and look for the script being called and remove it from there - that simple [19:05] okay i found the script [19:05] c|oneman, that sucks [19:06] what runs it? [19:06] SonikkuAmerica: FYI, this is because my nvidia card has ptimus support, and this is currently not supported by ubuntu, apparently I have to install Bumblebee. [19:06] *optimus [19:06] you can do a grep -r in your home and may fine whats calling the script [19:06] grep -r ~/ [19:06] bilou23: I just read something about that [19:06] streulma: Depends. Do Linux From Scratch? 100MB-ish, but it's likely not to be very useful. Ubuntu minimal? Well, that depends exactly *how* minimal. [19:07] bilou23: OK, that's what I was missing. [19:07] the last thing he said to me was "I understand" and "do turkish" [19:07] hi [19:07] Darael: well, I have a 128GB SSD, for use with Mac, I would also install Ubuntu [19:08] streulma: if you're talking about a usable desktop, I'd say 2gb. [19:08] !requirements | streulma [19:08] streulma: Hardware requirements to install, boot and comfortably use Ubuntu are listed at https://help.ubuntu.com/community/Installation/SystemRequirements - For a !flavor with lower requirements, see !Xubuntu or !Lubuntu [19:08] streulma: but 10gb would be beter. [19:08] I watch the prirate bay movie [19:08] I watch the pirate bay movie [19:08] streulma: yeah, like Okitain said. I have a 16gb / and that does the trick for me [19:09] Dataoriginal: Good for thee. What does it have to do with Ubuntu? [19:09] Dataoriginal: and what does that have to ubuntu? [19:09] can you help me to install backtrack 5 tools and progs on ubuntu 12.10 ?? please === picca_ is now known as picca [19:09] maxygas: if you want to use backtrack use backtrack. I have it on a second partition on my laptop [19:09] maxygas: backtrack actually has a listing of the packages on their site - you can search on their site - [19:09] maxygas: it's better if you just use backtrack. [19:10] streulma, Okitain: The community help recommends at least 5GB, but more allows for adding more... stuff. Don't forget to make room for user data, either with a larger partition or cunning mounts. [19:10] maxygas: because most of the programs must be used as root [19:10] SolarisBoy: okay looks like that found the custom mail script that spies on me too === Shehrazad is now known as ElixirVitae [19:10] c|oneman: dude - whats the deal with your box? [19:10] wow [19:10] i know but i cant setup my external wireless device but with ubuntu works perfeckt [19:10] Darael: I don't have problems, dedicated disk and everything. [19:10] SolarisBoy: how bad is it? [19:10] maxygas: dual boot [19:10] bad is what? ntzrmtthihu777 ? [19:11] SolarisBoy: it doesn't have important purposes, my friend thinks its funny [19:11] k: tx, llutz. The cmin was exactly what I needed to pinpoint all the files that I accidentally renamed with that unfortunate find script. I think I've backed it all out. [19:11] SolarisBoy: with his box [19:11] Okitain: Yeah, the bit I was pointing at thee was the community docs suggesting 5+GB. The rest was more for streulma. [19:11] c|oneman: sounds annoying [19:11] ubuntu first and bt? [19:11] anyone running 12.10 on an ASUS Zenbook? I'm thinking about buying one for my wife [19:11] ntzrmtthihu777: nothing - seems he has a friend that likes to complicate life - thats all - answering riddles to login (script) - sends data via mail (script)? [19:11] Is there a handy utility that checks system integrity to try to make sure that all files look like they should be? [19:11] yeah. I have a 16gb root for ubuntu and 32 gb for backtrack, the rest is swap or /home [19:12] HelloWorld321: cunning use of debsums. [19:12] https://help.ubuntu.com/community/AsusZenbook for thebishop ! [19:12] SolarisBoy: sounds pretty cool, lol. [19:12] Okitain, yeah i saw that. was wondering about personal experiences [19:12] is there anyone that knows much about alsa/pulseaudio and hdmi with intel-snd-hda ? [19:12] HelloWorld321: Which is to say, debsums. It won't pick up files that have been added, though, of course, or custom packages installed with dpkg, so there are still other things to check. [19:12] ntzrmtthihu777: i remember we used to put exit 0 in peoples .bashrc's - now that was cool! [19:13] SolarisBoy: lol, right? [19:13] yeah, seems ugur got the message. [19:13] c|oneman: for future reference, this is why we don't allow even our friends root access (most of the time) :P [19:13] hi... is there anyone here who works with Conky?... How can one run weather application? [19:13] wow, he even regexed so I can enter my name in 2 different ways [19:14] Darael: true statement - [19:14] Darael: I tend to reimage the moment I don't understand something so :/ [19:14] Is this a bug? I made a script to disable my touchpad, made it executable to all, added it to 'Startup Applications', but sometimes on boots it gets run and other times it does't. [19:14] im being more patient this time [19:14] metals: find some conky weather configs. theres quite a few out [19:14] how can change the ubuntu server to graphic interface? [19:14] metals: sounds interesting; are you using a premade script or your own concoction? [19:14] Dataoriginal: install ubuntu-desktop [19:15] I am on Pinguy now [19:15] and I am a noob :) [19:15] metals: elaborate? [19:15] SolarisBoy: http://pastebin.com/kmHkyksQ [19:15] Is the same to secure the ubuntu desktop [19:15] ? [19:15] i think it's like a penguin + guy? [19:15] metals: brother! *handshake* look in the .conkyrc and uncomment the weather section [19:15] metals: see the pinguy forums and support ares. they got a conky forum [19:15] Okitain: Thus quoth expositionDalek? [19:16] Thanks, dr_willis [19:16] Darael: tx. It's running now. Looks like everything is OK. When it's done, I'll try a grep for what's not OK [19:16] metals: i suggest sticking with normal ubuntu [19:16] SolarisBoy: holy crap that's funny [19:16] Darael: that's some reference I can't get. [19:16] HelloWorld321: I wrote a script to auto-reinstall things that had been damaged using debsums, once upon a time. I can try to dig it out for thee, if thou'dst like. [19:17] SolarisBoy: as per that pastebin , lookslike its bashrc [19:17] okitain: Conky shows my CPU usage, and everything... But no weather report [19:17] Okitain: Ah. I can explain by PM, if thou wilt, but I'll not bother the channel with it. [19:17] metals: in ~/.conkyrc there is already a premade weather setup. [19:17] c|oneman: yea - thats whats sourcing it. [19:17] metals: check out the "conky colors" theme/setup [19:17] metals: its just "commented out"; you can enable it by deleting the #'s on certain lines [19:18] and as i sit and lurk, i learn [19:18] SolarisBoy: what is viminfo>? [19:18] Avast Dareal: that should not be necessary. Looks like everythign is OK. Tx, tho. [19:18] c|oneman: it's a datafile used by vim to tell things like last position you were in while editing a file and restore it etc - === don is now known as Guest67556 === Guest67556 is now known as Don___ [19:18] c|oneman: he seems to have used vim to make that file lol [19:18] metals: yeah, starting at about line 128 in .conkyrc [19:18] !tab | HelloWorld321 That "ea" tells me th'art not using tab-completion. Here [19:18] HelloWorld321 That "ea" tells me th'art not using tab-completion. Here: You can use your key for autocompletion of nicknames in IRC, as well as for completion of filenames and programs on the command line. [19:19] SolarisBoy: can I tell which user he used to su so I don't have to change all the passwords? [19:19] it is already set on some city in U.K.... but Conky doesn't show that city, either [19:19] c|oneman: yes [19:19] tab-completion == a programmer's gift to programmers [19:20] metals: you just need to find out the right location code for your city [19:20] c|oneman: check your auth.log - however you shouldn't be letting everyone have access to ssh - there is a way within the ssh config to permit login to a user or list of users - that alone would help you [19:20] c|oneman: If he can drop things in /root, then he must have been acting as root. Which means either a root password was set (bad idea) or he used sudo, rather than su, in which case it's a question of having a look at /var/log/auth.log. [19:20] yeah he had access to sudoers [19:20] c|oneman: another thing - be careful with "changing all users pwrods" because some users are system users and dont have passwords and shouldn't [19:21] I have that.... but the problem is with showing Weather in Conky... it doesn't show that part in Conky [19:21] c|oneman: thats likely after he did a su - but regardless sudoers as well allows control of who can run what - to a user granularity [19:21] ok, look in .conkyrc and uncomment the lines [19:21] i'm at a friend's place and whenever i'm here on the wi-fi, pages will only load half the time. This is in linux. on windows pages load fine. I have installed wicd, I have disabled ipv6 in firefox, and it doesn't help. Does anyone have any ideas? [19:22] should I be worried about "missing file" or "no md5sums for" messages from debsums? http://pastebin.com/L9cVmHtW [19:22] they load completely half the time, or they always half load :P === larry is now known as Guest15119 [19:23] c|oneman: Or they spend half of the time it takes them to load actually making progress, and the other half stalled? :P [19:23] Darael: what if your internet is actually really fast and this is actually a gif/ [19:23] ? [19:23] hahahaaa [19:24] HelloWorld321: No md5sums is annoying, but there's nothing to be done. Blame the packager. Missing files, though, would (I suggest) be a good reason for a package reinstall. [19:24] I have seen two troll gifs that make you think your net is slow [19:24] Darael, go ahead. Make my day. [19:25] metals: pastbin your .conkrc, lemme see it [19:25] hello fellers [19:25] how are you guys copy'ing ur terminal pges, i seen the pastie === jack is now known as Guest66146 [19:25] ghost562: fello hellers [19:25] OK [19:25] hey ntzr, i got ubuntu 12.04 lts running :D [19:25] copy and paste into pastebin.

[19:29] an, no problem [19:29] email not sendinding [19:29] 128 to 146? [19:29] ah, no idea [19:30] or 128 and 146? [19:30] yup, all between [19:30] thank you IdleOne [19:30] Darael: my debsums is still running, and I have two actual FAILED so far, but they aren't files that I messed with: /var/lib/nvidia-common/last_gfx_boot & /usr/share/phpmyadmin/libraries/.htaccess [19:30] ntzrmtthihu777: query? [19:30] should I be worried? Should I do something? [19:31] HelloWorld321: I'd check out the .htaccess, just in case, but /var/lib/nvidia-common/last_gfx_boot looks like something that's *meant* to change and shouldn't have been in the list of files to be checksummed. === LaserShark is now known as LaserShark|dead [19:32] what is debsum [19:32] ok [19:32] zimzum_: its a way of checking if a set of files has been changed by calculating the md5sum hash [19:32] do a dualboot, but can I run virtualbox vm's on my Ubuntu on a hfs+ disk? [19:33] zimzum_: I'm running it because I messed up some files, and I'm trying to find the ones I messed up. [19:33] ah good, I found that porn that overites my index.html [19:33] streulma: I see no reason why not. The VM won't know what filesystem its disk image is on, after all. [19:33] c|oneman: I suggest it's more important to find the script that's *doing* that. [19:33] Hey. I try to access my mysql server remotely, so I do "GRANT ALL ON database.* TO user@'my_ip' IDENTIFIED BY 'my_password'". but when I try to connect it says: "ERROR 2003 (HY000): Can't connect to MySQL server on 'my_mysql_server_ip' (111)". anyone knows how I can handle with this? [19:33] ok so that might be some thing i want to do to figure out my nvidia?? [19:33] Darael: meh, its tasteful and I dont run an important website [19:34] c|oneman: Nevertheless, might as well, while th'art hunting. [19:34] ntzrmtthihu777: Done! The weather part is added! But now it doesn't show the weather and stuff [19:34] im pretty tired of seeing those boobs now. He also put in a file called ls.exe on my windows machine, knowing that I eventually would type that [19:34] zimzum_: What ntzrmtthihu777 said. Specifically, it's for checking files installed with the package manager. And I *think* it can do SHA1 hashes as well, these days. [19:34] pretty cleaver timebomb [19:35] I need multiple long difficult to follow suggestions to get eric4 and soundblacter audigy 2zs working in ubunti 12.04.... after a update.... [19:35] c|oneman: work around it by using dir on Ubuntu as well as windows? It's not the same as ls, but it works. [19:35] c|oneman: Or, y'know, just remove ls.exe. [19:35] One or t'other. [19:35] oh cloneman [19:36] yeah. but its clever because It would take a couple of weeks for me to type that on my laptop [19:36] c|oneman: Gotta say, though, this person is sounding less and less friendly. [19:36] I want always type ls by mistake on Windows :) [19:36] is there a way to do ls ? [19:36] I created ls.bat that runs dir, probably wouldnt accept paramaters though. [19:36] streulma: you can always make a batch file named ls that executes dir [19:36] streulma: Probably the most overengineered solution would be to install Cygwin... :P [19:36] <\\Mr_C\\> what font for linux is the same as the fixedsys in windows? [19:37] Darael: oh, I installed GIT :) [19:37] then I have bash :) and a shell [19:37] hey guys, a friend of mine just tried installing Ubuntu from a USB stick, and the installer tried to install Ubuntu on the USB stick [19:38] Come on guys, I know you can do this - I need multiple long difficult to follow suggestions to get eric4 and soundblacter audigy 2zs working in ubunti 12.04.... after a update.... [19:38] is that a thing? [19:38] ari-_-e: It should have given an option for the hard drive as well... [19:38] ari-_-e: it can happen. [19:38] Darael: so it should be asking him where to install? [19:38] yeah, make sure it installs to sda, I bet [19:39] Darael: hes still butthurt about when I used lpr.exe in highschool [19:39] ari-_-e: It usually does, yes. At the same screen where it would allow going into the custom partitioner. [19:39] I don't think picking by the device name is very robust, because it depends on the discovery order [19:39] hola [19:40] Darael: so you have to do the "advanced mode" thing just to pick which drive to install to? [19:40] about the .htaccess for my phpadmin ... I can open https://localhost/phpmyadmin from firefox in ubuntu no problem; but my other computer is running Internet Explorer, and refuses to go there because there's no security certificate. I think that's a whole 'nother thang. === Phoenix is now known as Guest2318 [19:40] gents, trying to install server on a rig that doesn't currently have an OS. When i download it from my computer it automatically gives me the AMD64.iso version. The machine I'm putting it on is a 32bit architecture. Will the install auto detect the bit type to use? [19:40] lickalott: you have to download a 32-bit iso [19:40] ntzrmtthihu777: Done! The weather part is added! But now it doesn't show the weather and stuff [19:41] lickalott: No, it won't. But there should have been a dropdown on the download page to change the architecture... === mdh_ is now known as mdh [19:41] ari-_-e: Nononono. It should give a page where it gives options like "use entire disk", or "replace with Ubuntu", &c. [19:42] ari-_-e: this assumes using the graphical installer. [19:42] found it. it wasn't "BAM" right in my face. [19:42] tks! [19:42] metals: ok, good. you need to figure out your weather code and such [19:42] HelloWorld321: Yeah, that's unrelated to the .htaccess. As long as its contents don't have anything *crazy*, just ignore it. [19:42] metals: Is this indicator-weather we're talking? [19:42] it is IRXX0015 [19:43] no [19:43] SonikkuAmerica: conky [19:43] Conky [19:43] ntzrmtthihu777, metals: OK [19:43] I want to install ubuntu without screwing with the existing system's bootloader. [19:44] knappador: Whether or not that's possible, and how much work it'll be, depends on the existing system. [19:44] In fact, no GRUB etc is even needed. Just vmlinuz and initramfs [19:44] Darael: tx then. My (your) work here is done, then. [19:44] I'ma reboot [19:44] knappador: besides, grub2 beats the crap out of other bootloaders [19:44] how do I get a recent version with apt-get instead of installing from source? [19:44] recent version of whatever. [19:44] Darael: Is it possible to get the current graphical installer not to touch the MBR/bios_boot ? [19:44] knappador: *that* is easy. Use the alternate (or minimal) CD, and just skip the bootloader-installation steps. Don't think it can be done with the graphical one, though... [19:45] knappador: It *used* to be possible with the graphical installer, but I think that feature disappeared in the Great Ubiquity Rewrite. [19:45] god [19:46] alright, i'm totally up for advanced bullshit like customizing the installer and maintaining it myself [19:46] i need a solution that lets a user who has just started an ubuntu system configure their language, user etc [19:46] is there a pre-installed ubuntu workflow out there? [19:46] hmm so the error that my friend actually got was "ran out of space", presumably on the USB stick he was using [19:46] imagine i'm selling computers [19:47] could it be that the installer was downloading stuff onto the USB stick? [19:47] knappador: That can (sort of) be done smack at the start of the GUI installer [19:47] knappador: Yup. Best (though not only) bet is once again the Alternate CD. Choose to do an OEM install. [19:47] knappador: Install it once, deploy it on thousands of computers. [19:47] i just ran sudo apt-get install system info, well now it brought my control panel for my vid card, so now i go to bios screen and turn on my card and see wht happens [19:47] knappador: The same option is available on the Graphical CD, but it doesn't provide as many shiny knobs to twiddle. [19:48] Darael: The OEM install by default will let the user configure their schuff? [19:48] ubiquity ? === acidflash_ is now known as acidflash [19:48] What is ubiquity anyway? I've been out of the Ubuntu loop for quite a bit [19:48] !ubiquity [19:48] knappador: Yup. User accounts, language, keyboard, et cetera. [19:48] Nuts, that needs registering === xatr0z_ is now known as xatr0z [19:49] knappador: Ubiquity is the GUI installer for Ubuntu. [19:49] Suite. Alternative image. OEM install. [19:50] Are there any tools for quickly converting an Ubuntu installation to a Xubuntu installation etc? It's confusing to users IMHO to have "distributions" that just amount to default packages [19:50] knappador: There is no easy way to do that. [19:50] eg Dream Linux, Lubuntu etc. [19:51] Anyone expirenced a live disk working but an actual installation not booting? [19:51] knappador: install (eg) xubuntu-desktop, remove ubuntu-desktop, sudo apt-get --purge autoremove [19:51] yeah... that's something I had considered attacking, but I don't want to do it in an distro-specific way [19:51] knappador: That's the best I can think of... [19:51] knappador: apt-get install xubuntu-desktop [19:52] autoremove does not clean metapackages well [19:52] Tutorials on switching desktop managers might be a better way. Is there documentation in the Ubuntu stuff aimed at making new users aware of what their options are? [19:52] autoclean should help [19:52] I am in lubuntu.. how do I get which desktop environment I am using? [19:52] yes, it should. it does not. [19:53] knappador: are you actually trying to promote ubuntu? [19:53] lesshaste: What do you mean by that? [19:53] apt-get install kubuntu-desktop. apt-get remove kubuntu-desktop. apt-get autoremove --purge = nothing marked for removal [19:53] lesshaste: Lubuntu uses LXDE by default. You can install all DE/WM's. Usually only one will run at a time. [19:53] lesshaste: In lubuntu, you are using LXDE. [19:53] Hwkiller: It's suboptimal, I concede, but it's the best I can come up with. [19:53] thanks.. is there some way to get it to tell me it is lxde? [19:54] Darael: you can remove it if you find the correct a-get remove command. there is a webpage of them all [19:54] ntzrmtthihu777: Nah. I'm an elitist other-linux-user. I want new users to figure out that their DE is not their OS. [19:54] or actually list the deps of the matapckages and remove them all yourself [19:54] lesshaste: Your Desktop Environment and Window Manager are just programs that run on your OS, which is Linux. === Edgan_ is now known as Edgan [19:55] knappador: The *kernel* is Linux. The OS, well, that's a bit more complicated. [19:55] lesshaste: pstree will show you which programs launched which [19:55] Darael: holy war [19:56] knappador, I see lightdm-+-Xor [19:56] Hwkiller: So there is. If only I could recall where it lived. === Rafael is now known as Guest13556 [19:56] This ending is sad.... [19:56] knappador, and |-xfce4-power-man [19:56] |-xfconfd [19:56] Hello there. [19:56] lesshaste: I don't know it. You can google it. [19:56] knappador, maybe it is xfce? [19:56] knappador: gotcha, unity is *not* the only option [19:56] lesshaste: A lot of the default ubuntu setups will use some programs from other DE's [19:57] When i try downloading a video on dailymotion through cclive, i've got this error : Checking ... ........ ..... libquvi: error: ...sr/share/libquvi-scripts/lua/website/dailymotion.lua:111: no match: sequence [19:57] lesshaste: they're not very coupled in a lot of cases, so it's not a bad idea. [19:57] knappador: I'm not about to take sides, I'm just pointing out that it's not quite that simple. In this case, I'd be inclined to say the OS was either Ubuntu or whichever-specific-ubuntu-variant-has-all-its-packages-installed. [19:57] I just go into Opera:Cache and download from my cache when downloading from Dailymotion [19:57] knappador, ok.. seems tricky to get it to admit it is lxde :) [19:58] (cclive v.0.7.9, libquvi v0.4.1, libquvi-scripts v0.4.8) [19:58] would a ntfs have a different sort of uuid than ext4? [19:58] ntzrmtthihu777: Yes. Much shorter, prints in all-caps. [19:58] k [19:58] lesshaste: init launched a program probably called XDM or LXDM. This is your graphical login screen. That program launched something like LXWM or XFWM or whatever they're called [19:59] knappador, /usr/bin/lxsession -s Lubuntu -e LXDE I see it [19:59] Xfce uses lightdm like all the others now [19:59] Darael: I never knew about such things untill I started using linux, and since I always use ext4 I thought they were all the same format [19:59] (JulienP) Ive git a pb with double screen: when i unset same picture for the both screen, it say : size for CRTC 147 is up to autorize limit. Max 1680 1680. What need i to do plz ? [20:00] SonikkuAmerica, is lxde using xfce? [20:00] SonikkuAmerica: lightdm has gained the momentum? [20:00] lesshaste: No. [20:00] how can I set refresh rate in tty? [20:00] knappador: Unity, KDE and XFCE all use it [20:00] cool [20:00] http://www.youtube.com/watch?NR=1&feature=endscreen&v=HyyXq3GDJq0 [20:00] knappador: Incidentally, I recalled which site it is that provides commands for removing all packages from other Ubuntu derivatives than... whichever one is using. [20:00] knappador: I rather like the look of lightdm, I even use it on Pinguy os, which comes with gdm by default [20:00] lesshaste: if you pastebin your pstree, we can pick it apart and tell you what you're running [20:01] knappador: Each lightdm screen is different, though, and I don't think LXDE uses it. [20:01] I want to set my web proxy using a pac-file-url [20:01] I thought I would follow http://askubuntu.com/questions/150210/how-do-i-set-systemwide-proxy-servers-in-xubuntu-lubuntu-or-ubuntu-studio [20:01] I have installed ubuntu to a PC after testing with live disk. the live disk worked great - even ran CS:S no issues. I can't however boot to desktop from the installation from he same disk. [20:01] Darael: yeah, psychocats has them [20:01] how can I actually list the option that /etc/environment accepts and in any case is that right thing for lxde? [20:01] ntzrmtthihu777: Yeah. They were brought up, but I couldn't recall the site in question at the time. [20:01] knappador, thanks but I have another problem which I would rather see fixed.. :) [20:01] ntzrmtthihu777: Something about the name keeps evading me. [20:01] how can I set refresh rate in tty? [20:02] lol. [20:02] freefox: You cant. [20:02] well I just walked a n00b through editing his fstab for automounting an extra hdd [20:02] Downloading music :3 [20:02] bekks: why not? [20:02] bekks, freefox: But *he* can! *points at random channel denizen* [20:02] MysticalBurrito[: whatcha mean? [20:03] what? :) [20:03] I'm having trouble installing grub - I'm not sure where to install it and google isn't being much help [20:03] freefox: Because a tty doesnt even know what a refresh rate might be. [20:03] freefox: Sorry. Had a moment of silly. [20:03] but I can set the resolution [20:03] MysticalBurrito[: I automatically like you *handshake* [20:03] hey guys, whenever i install something using apt-get i get an error once done and asks me to run apt-get -f install, when i run it, i get this: http://paste.ubuntu.com/5583225/ [20:03] any ideas by any chance? [20:03] maybe there is a way to set the ref rate too [20:03] freefox: But you cant set the refresh rate. Even if you want it. [20:04] freefox: There is no such way. [20:04] Grub? [20:04] ciao [20:04] Hello guys, I really liked those little eyes in the bar of ubuntu, and other things like monitor memory and processor that had versions before Unity. Anyone know how I can use it on ubuntu 12.04 ? [20:04] !lis [20:04] !list [20:04] Franktiell: 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 ». [20:04] what if my monitor won't support the current rate? [20:04] g0tcha: do apt-get autoremove first [20:04] Burg is a polished version of Grub [20:05] looks nicer [20:05] but you probably only want to install it if you want a pretty looking bootloader [20:05] I just want /a/ bootloader :P [20:05] filipecaixeta: you can do it, I forget the exact method for unity, but alt+right click on the bar should give you some options [20:05] holy shit.... 54 tabs just opened in opera.... O_O [20:05] filipecaixeta: Basically? Can't. They're a GNOME2 thing, and everything's GNOME3 now. From memory there's a mode in Quantal that would work with them. [20:06] !ohmy | MysticalBurrito[ [20:06] MysticalBurrito[: Please remember that all Ubuntu IRC channels share the same attitude of providing friendly and polite interaction with all users of all ages and cultures. Basically, this means no foul language and no abuse towards others. [20:06] Hi, I want to get to get authorization to sell ubuntu, Who I should talk to? [20:06] SELL? [20:06] ntzrmtthihu777, if i run apt-get -f install then run apt-get autoremove the same error appears [20:06] waraqa: not gonna happen [20:06] Oh sorry, wrong chat. Xchat seems to open this every time I start it [20:06] M1DLG: Yes, I want to sell ubuntu CDs [20:06] ntzrmtthihu777: Is it forbidden? [20:06] g0tcha: don't do the -f install first, do autoremove first [20:07] waraqa: And why would people buy it when they can download it for free? [20:07] thanks for the help [20:07] waraqa: is selling free things a dumb business move? [20:07] waraqa: No authorisation is required, but I see no reason they'd sell when people can get it for free. [20:07] Darael: I want to sell in a student fair to introduce linux [20:07] Ok to sell the medium not the data on it though [20:08] M1DLG: That's true [20:08] then give it away.studens arnt rich [20:08] hi [20:08] and 100 cd's arn't going to break the bank [20:08] Who will pay for the CDs? [20:08] KI4RO: me [20:08] waraqa: one of the major pulls of linux is its *free* [20:08] M1DLG: I will sell it on flash disks too === patrick is now known as Guest39324 [20:09] waraqa: That's generally considered fine, although M1DLG makes a good point. At most, thou shouldst be charging ~£0.50. CDs won't cost more than that. And if it's got anything to do with the local SU, there's probably a society that'd fund media so it can be given away free. [20:09] waraqa, buy them http://shop.canonical.com/index.php?cPath=17 [20:09] anyone wanna buy some air? [20:09] hi All i am not abile to install wifi driver on my laptop [20:09] hello, newbie question on RDP setup. How do I find the server name of the Windows 7 machine? [20:09] Arvind: what kind of card do you have? [20:09] Darael: Thou shouldst? Imma give away my old 32-bit U/Kbuntu CDS [20:09] waraqa: OerHeks also makes a good point. Bought CDs will look far better than burned ones. [20:10] Darael: Right [20:10] Darael: I made a very nice cd with lightscribe, winxp [20:10] http://www.ubuntu.com/aboutus/trademarkpolicy this page says that I need to have formal license [20:10] ntzrmtthihu777, yes, thats what i did, apt-get autoremove and then i run apt-get -f install .. still the same happens [20:10] ntzrmtthihu777: Nevertheless, in the general case, point stands. [20:10] broadcom wireless card BCM4311 [20:10] SonikkuAmerica: Yes, "thou shouldst". Singular/plural distinction in the second person is useful. The T-V distinction is not. [20:10] g0tcha: good, now paste the outcome without all the bs, k? [20:10] waraqa: So what you might do is burn Ubuntu for free, but sell DVDs on the side. [20:11] SonikkuAmerica: Ooh, that's a good one. [20:11] of course it's ok to sell an ubuntu disc? [20:11] ok is relative [20:11] RDP Question... anyone? [20:12] I would be sorely irritated to find someone selling ubuntu. I would be sure to point out it can be gained free online to all who approach. [20:12] Clerk89: wish I could help you [20:12] ntzrmtthihu777: why would you be irritated? it's in their right to do so [20:12] Why I switched from Windows, for one [20:12] ntzrmtthihu777, what do you mean without all the bs? which part are you concidering to be bs? [20:12] ntzrmtthihu777: it worked! thanks for the help [20:12] waraqa: there is a contact link right there. [20:12] g0tcha: all the packages that could be cleaned. [20:13] Clerk89: probably you should ask MSDN. [20:13] !msdn [20:13] Arvind: this one is well supported http://linuxwireless.org/en/users/Drivers/b43 http://linuxwireless.org/en/users/Drivers [20:13] ghost562: np man, lol. I did this to my home partition when I installed pinguy over my precise, in order to preserve my files [20:13] ah, got it. [20:14] yeah i booted up and saw it on the bar, so it works [20:14] waraqa: The Trademark Policy says that the trademarks can be used for community advocacy so long as there is no commercial intent. What that *means* is that as long as the price is a reasonable one for the *medium*, and not the *software*, it's OK. It's the usual way in the FOSS world. Covering the cost of distribution is acceptable. Making profit is not. [20:14] isn't there a terminal command to list the server names on my private network? [20:14] Clerk89: server names ? [20:14] Clerk89: you can browse the bonjour announce with avahi-discover [20:15] as for a command line interface hmm [20:15] Darael: I need an authorization because I will participate in a competiton which require that [20:15] can someone help me figure out where to install grub with this setup? http://pastebin.com/raw.php?i=TGB8Td8y [20:15] Darael: On of the regulations is: It is not permitted to sell counterfeit or fake products, or those bearing a registered trademark without the prior consent of the trademark owner [20:15] ntzrmtthihu777, like this http://paste.ubuntu.com/5583261/ ?

[20:18] Arvind: compat-wireless [20:18] SonikkuAmerica, ? is that for me? === darius is now known as Guest43514 [20:18] riktol2, go to the settings menui [20:18] riktol2, then there will be an option for brightness and so on [20:18] Riktol2: most likely it is all in the monitor itself. [20:18] g0tcha: you are using ruby? [20:18] lesshaste: There's a bug report that says the flashplugin-installer is broken because of problems involving sudo and /etc/environment. [20:18] Arvind: the project has been renamed compat-drivers [20:18] https://www.kernel.org/pub/linux/kernel/projects/backports/stable/v3.8/ [20:19] SonikkuAmerica, oh.. no not me [20:19] Riktol2: Top-right, system settings, Brightness/contrast (on a laptop); use the monitor's builtin settings (on a desktop) [20:19] ntzrmtthihu777, yes, i use ruby to run redmine project manager.. its installed from ports [20:19] i am using lenovo 3000N100 [20:19] i mean from the repos [20:19] hmm [20:19] can someone explain /etc/environment please? what exactly is it for? <<< I beg to differ [20:20] ? what are you disagreeing about? [20:20] g0tcha: would it be too much of a problem to remove it and re-install? [20:20] g0tcha: Longtime bsd-user, by any chance? [20:20] lesshaste: /etc/environment has all the global environment variables in it. [20:20] ntzrmtthihu777, hmm i guess i can do that as long as all dependencies are installed again [20:21] how can i hide the xxx has joined ubuntu messages on xchat? [20:21] SonikkuAmerica, ok [20:21] Darael, i started with freebsd a long time ago heheh [20:21] lesshaste: I had wondered if you'd read that bug report [20:21] the word "ports" sounds more familiar to me then "repositories" [20:21] Darael: I have a brightness and lock setting there, but it only has settings for locking and turning off the screen [20:21] SonikkuAmerica, right.. no not me [20:22] Riktol2: 's odd. Mine definitely has a brightness setting. Well, it does on my laptop. [20:22] lesshaste: oh [20:22] I have two separate issues that are driving me nuts! [20:22] One is my laptop which keeps dropping wifi [20:22] how can i hide the xxx has joined ubuntu messages on xchat? [20:22] g0tcha: seems so [20:23] the other is my bluetooth keyboard which keeps dropping on my desktop [20:23] ntzrmtthihu777, so you want me to uninstall ruby and then reinstall it again? [20:23] is anyone familiar with using Remminia Remote Desktop on 12.10? [20:23] ruby bundler, all da stuff that gave you greif [20:23] I am a noob to ubuntu and am desprate for help [20:23] g0tcha: and I would reccomend using rvm to keep things clean from now on [20:24] Darael: I thought so as well, the closest I have is a thing for colour settings which looks way too complicated [20:24] can anyone point me in the right direciton?

[20:31] mkgyre: sudo ifconfig should give some info, as well as lspci [20:32] fire: From memory, that's a right pain to do. What's the actual objective?

[20:33] i need help to stream a recoreded events i filmed with my canon t4i with ffmpeg and ffserver [20:33] i m in Windows 8 as host machine and ffserver is installed in my ec2 ubuntu server [20:33] Okitain: I'm not clear if th'art telling someone something, or just playing with the bot, but in case of the latter, it responds to PM as well. [20:33] Darael: currently i have installed and Ubuntu 12.04 LTS. I have configured according to my needs. Now i have to implement the same exact machines on multiple machines. This is for training of school childrens regarding linux/Ubuntu [20:34] Darael: ooh, I see. [20:34] Thought it responded to pm if with no arguments. [20:34] Darael: very true, very true. [20:34] fire: Ah. Now, that's different. If all the machines are the same, just image the disk. That's easily the most elegant way. [20:34] Darael: i don't want to setup up each of the machine and install all the aplications and configure it from scratch.

[20:38] fire: I had forgotten remastersys. Okitain and ntzrmtthihu777 are correct. http://www.remastersys.com/ is what th'art looking for (though a CD is likely to be too small. Think DVD instead, or large USB key). [20:38] Darael: it's got its own repo. [20:39] will remastersys will save all my configration and packages that i have installed correct ? [20:39] Okitain: Fair enough. Haven't really used it in a *long* time. [20:39] will* sorry for the typo [20:39] fire: That's the idea, yes. [20:40] Darael: cool :) === c_smith is now known as c_smith_away === MoTec_ is now known as MoTec === Garrett is now known as Guest65178 [20:41] Greetings from the Greek Ubuntu Community [20:41] fire, you could also use dpkg -l >file.txt [20:41] Ubuntu 13.04 freezes after 5 mins of idle. *completely freeze* [20:41] How can i debug this?

[20:43] :) [20:44] There was a tool in Mint that did it for you, but I don't care much for it. [20:44] fire: Technically speaking it shows all *installed* packages (all *available* packages would mean all those packages that one can get from the currently-active repos). But yes. [20:44] Darael: ok [20:45] Anybody uses Ubuntu on Nexus7? How usable is this setup? I'm looking for a tablet for a Linux geek... [20:45] Darael: fire its showing all packages which dpkg handles since the installation, this means, installed, removed, unconfigured, failed [20:45] so it turns out that my friend was using a copy of Raring - that's probably why he was having so much trouble [20:45] bla: #ubuntu-touch [20:45] bla: strictly beta, you know it. [20:45] this: http://www.pendrivelinux.com/universal-usb-installer-easy-as-1-2-3/ offers 13.04 as an option, for some reason [20:45] hello, anyone have any experience installning bumblebee-nvidia?

You can't use Universall USB inst. to install 13.04. [20:47] my question isn't really about 13.04, it's more about the pendrivelinux site [20:47] ivali: huh? [20:47] hello, any way to create link to .jar file on desktop? [20:47] hi, I've installed ambiance-lime from the noobslab/themes ppa, but it's not listed even after a relog [20:47] ari-_-e: and the website is offtopic here [20:48] ivali: 13.04 is in the list on that website? [20:48] iceroot: I disagree - it is linked to directly from this: http://www.ubuntu.com/download/help/create-a-usb-stick-on-windows page [20:48] ari-_-e: 13.04 is offtopic here [20:49] iceroot: again, my question is not about 13.04 [20:49] ari-_-e: and its not a technical support question [20:49] ari-_-e: so its offtopic in this channel [20:49] ari-_-e. Ubuntu 13.04 can't be installed using that software even if it's on the list. They rename vmlinuz to vmlinuz.efi for some reason. [20:49] iceroot: Good point. Got... distracted. [20:49] ari-_-e: create a bug against the website if you think there is a bug on the site [20:50] davis776: you can write a sh file. [20:50] iceroot: I was just asking if anybody here knows the person who runs the website [20:50] if the answer is no, then it's no [20:50] this really isn't a big deal [20:50] ari-_-e: the answer is "the website is offtopic here" [20:51] davis776: once you've written it, cd to the directory it's in and sudo bash $NAME_OF_SCRIPT [20:51] iceroot: great, it's good to know that this channel sucks as much as I've always though it has [20:51] fuck you! bye! [20:51] SonikkuAmerica: what? [20:51] Okitain, SonikkuAmerica thanks solved :) [20:51] Is there a Ubuntu 12.04 compatability list for tablets? [20:51] SonikkuAmerica: *what*? Running some random .jar as root? Art *insane*? [20:51] Wat. [20:52] SonikkuAmerica: please dont suggest something like that [20:52] davis776: Do what Okitain said. Do not do what SonikkuAmerica said, unless thou hast a *very* good reason. [20:52] davis776: you want a simple symlink from a file to the desktop?

[20:53] iceroot: Oops... you're right... [20:54] Would dd work to clone a win 8 hard disk? The tools I have can only see an empty hard disk due to secure boot :( [20:54] I"m pretty sure this is a stupid question, but I would rather not overwrite directories going off of assumptions: How do I move all the files from a folder up a directory? === mcarron is now known as mritr [20:54] darkhalo117: dd will create an excact copy of a partition/device [20:55] I'm not using a GUI, by the way. [20:55] MysticalBurrito[, you said you use cache from opera to download dailymotion [20:55] how do you do this ? [20:55] some one has an idea where to start at? [20:55] I've tried "mv ./ ../" but that doesn't work as expected. [20:55] Googol30: mv * ../ will move all files one directory above [20:55] That error being committed, what is the correct way to execute a shell script for any reason? [20:55] Googol30: without hidden files [20:55] Hi - I get a "disconnected from plymouth" error when booting and no gui. I'm talking from irssi in a tty right now - could anyone please help me? [20:55] iceroot: thanks [20:55] Googol30: you can't move a directory you are in (.) [20:56] darkhalo117: dd should work to clone *anything*, pretty much, as long as the destination media is at least as large as the source. [20:56] Cool thanks Darael [20:56] ikonia: Not to mention that moving . to .. would leave it precisely where it is! [20:56] SonikkuAmerica: you should not use bash scriptname, you should make the script executable (chmod +x script) and run it with ./script [20:56] SonikkuAmerica: and never run sudo when not needed [20:56] iceroot: Thanks. *is so embarrassed* [20:57] darkhalo117: note that if the destination disk is any larger than the source one, the difference in space will be unused and some fiddling with the partitions will be necessary to render it usable. [20:57] I was expecting "mv ./ ../" to move all of the files up, and leave the folder they were in where it was, empty. [20:57] Hi - I get a "disconnected from plymouth" error when booting and no gui. I'm talking from irssi in a tty right now - could anyone please help me? [20:57] SonikkuAmerica: and you should always use shebangs in your script, that is the first line like #!/bin/env bash this tells the kernel what interptreter is needed to run the script [20:58] iceroot: OK [20:58] Googol30: Ah, no. Needs to be "./*", meaning every file in this folter. ./ is a reference to the current directory, nothing more. [20:58] Googol30: In most contexts, ./ is, in fact, identical to . (as a file reference). [20:59] * Android001 prods Pulser - you around? [20:59] Hi - I get a "disconnected from plymouth" error when booting and no gui. I'm talking from irssi in a tty right now - could anyone please help me? [20:59] I have sublime text to where I can run it from terminal, and I have it to where you can right click a file in nautilus and its in the context menu to open a file with sublime text, but for some reason its not in the list of programs to set as a default. How do I get it on that list or set it to the default editor? [20:59] iceroot: I think bash being in /bin is pretty reliable. #!/bin/bash is reasonably standard. [20:59] Darael: not on all systems [21:00] Darael: there are systems where bash is not in /bin/bash but /bin/env is always there [21:00] Darael: I plan on resizing with gparted, then doing an exact copy. If it will let me. [21:00] darkhalo117: but on GNU/Linux you are right, its in /bin/bash [21:00] hi [21:00] iceroot: True, but if we're going for *properly* portable, we should be writing for /bin/sh compatibility anyway. [21:00] how can i stop a service if it tells me cannot allocate memory? [21:01] how do I have a command ran everytime I login via ssh, terminal, tty, etc? I'd like vnstat to show my current internet useage [21:01] Ok, thanks. I didn't want to overwrite anything, and wasn't 100% sure what doing "mv * ../" would do, so I came here. Just needed to do "mv ./* ../". [21:01] Darael: ls -l /bin/sh [21:01] lrwxrwxrwx 1 root root 4 Jul 9 2012 /bin/sh -> dash [21:01] Darael: :) that you will find only on debian and ubuntu (imo) [21:01] styler2go: sudo service $SERVICE stop or sudo stop $SERVICE [21:01] iceroot: Yes, but the point is it should be Bourne compatible on just about any system. [21:01] Darael: Which it isnt, fully, on all systems. [21:01] now my server knocked out i think... cant access it via ssh [21:01] Darael: POSIX comatible [21:02] iceroot: What am I talking about? I mean POSIX-compliant. [21:02] Darael: :) [21:02] styler2go: Which was the service you stopped? [21:02] MysticalBurrito[, cause i've got several mp4 in the list, all less than 2mb [21:02] Googol30: In that context, "*" is the same as "./*". Just for future reference. [21:04] Googol30: you should use ./* instead of * because when you have a file called "--filename.txt" you will do mv --filename.txt instead of mv ./filename.txt and the first one will fail [21:04] styler2go: !! styler2go: Which was the service you stopped? [21:04] hi whats the best domain lookup site [21:04] iceroot: Good should, although ITTM ./--filename.txt [21:04] !best | Q17 [21:04] Q17: Usually, there is no single "best" application to perform a given task. It's up to you to choose, depending on your preferences, features you require, and other factors. Do NOT take polls in the channel. If you insist on getting people's opinions, ask BestBot in #ubuntu-bots. [21:05] iceroot: Wouldn't you want to do "mv ./--filename.txt"? [21:05] Googol30: Yes. One would. Just a small typo on iceroot's part, I think. [21:05] Googol30: of course, i was just missing the -- in my second example [21:06] Hmm I've done a little reading on the ubuntu forums, do I need to be using proprietry drivers to be able to change screen properties like contrast and brightness? [21:06] Just making sure, as in running a command, one byte out of place or missing will do something completely different. === nick_ is now known as Guest7049 [21:07] Googol30: yes thats always good to make sure and understand what you are doing [21:07] uboyy [21:07] Googol30: Yup, it's well worth asking. If in doubt, always ask. Occasionally someone will get annoyed by the question, but that's their problem. Never a problem in here. [21:08] ubottu: 1 that pulls up most info bout a website [21:08] Q17: I am only a bot, please don't think I'm intelligent :) [21:08] lol [21:08] Q17: Offtopic, and lacking useful context for us to be able to help. What's the actual objective? [21:08] we all hve a lil piece of the big picture [21:09] Dareal: what if I pull up the win 8 hard drive and it shows as unallowcated space? [21:09] !tab | darkhalo117 [21:09] darkhalo117: You can use your key for autocompletion of nicknames in IRC, as well as for completion of filenames and programs on the command line. [21:09] need to find out there mail server info etc [21:10] I'm using an android version that is crap Darael === mgodzill- is now known as mgodzilla [21:10] darkhalo117: Fair enough. many just don't know. [21:10] Most of the time auto complete doesn't work [21:10] True story [21:10] darkhalo117: Then something is wrong with the drive, and the data is quite possibly gone. Try running testdisk over it (it's in the repos). [21:11] While we are on the subject. Any decent droid irc apps? [21:11] darkhalo117: the actual drive may be OK, but at the least the partition table's got changed. [21:11] darkhalo117: I wouldn't know, myself. I stick to xabber for IM, although occasionally I'll use an IRC transport to get on IRC. [21:12] Arrivederci! [21:12] Q17: For their mail server, it's a simple matter of `dig example.net mx` [21:13] Windows 8 has at least 5 partitions. This is going to take a while :( [21:13] Q17: Most of these things can be discovered with dig, whois, and a couple of other tools. No need for a site. I say again: what's the *actual* objective. [21:13] hello folks, how would I be able to shorten $foo="variable" into just the first 1 char ie $foo2="va" ? [21:13] darkhalo117: testdisk should pick them all up at once, but it'll take a while on a disk that's large enough. [21:14] !dd [21:16] Darael: looks like the drive is fine but I just have to learn a little more about dd to transfer the 4 partitions to the unpartitioned ssd [21:16] so now i wonder about xchat.....i'll be able to link this chat to it [21:16] check out clonezilla [21:17] Jhirley_: thnx [21:17] By the way, is there a simpler way to move a group of files from one directory to another than running "mv filename.txt folder" for each file? Would I simply enclose all of the filenames in quotes? [21:17] Googol30: stick as many files as thou wilt before the destination. That's one way. [21:18] The odd thing is that kingston includes a disk cloning cd but it doesn't even recognize anything on the original hdd [21:18] hai [21:19] So I can include as many files as I want in a mv command, and the last argument must be where I want to move all of these files to? [21:19] then i don't have to log into this site ?? [21:19] I thought mv -vf moves all of the files in a directory as well? [21:20] Could be wrong [21:20] I'm now trying to move only select files into a directory, and not all files out of one. [21:21] Googol30: why don't you use the gui if you are struggling with the command line [21:21] I am trying to access my Windows shares over a workgroup. When I Browse Network -> Windows Network -> and then click on WORKGROUP I get the following error: Unable to mount location, Failed to retrieve share list form server. I installed samba. [21:21] PlastikSpork: probably not set to browsable [21:21] how do I fix this [21:22] PlastikSpork: set your samba servers shares to "browseable" [21:23] how can i load uberscript onto xchat? [21:23] ghost562: the xchat channel can help with detailed xchat info [21:23] ikonia: I've been running a couple servers for slightly over 3 months purely off of the command line, and normally I would just experiment with commands to see what they do, but now working with files I can't afford to lose, I came here to make sure what I'm running will do what I think it will do. [21:24] Googol30: ok, moving files is pretty basic [21:24] Hey guys, I was in here the other day because I was having problems getting an install of 12.04 to boot. The conclusion from everyone was an issue with EFI and no one knew how to fix it. I was just thinking though, a few months ago I had no problem booting 12.10 on the same machine so it has to be something else? [21:24] Googol30: so if you are struggling with that, I'd strongly suggest using the gui [21:24] KxTwo: it doesn't have to be something else [21:24] You should be able to disable efi in bios [21:24] ikonia, well I dont understand why an install fo 12.10 boots fine but no matter what I do I cant boot 12.04 [21:25] darkhalo117, I looked everyone on his laptop and could find no such options [21:25] KxTwo: because it's a later version, so any incompatabilities may have been fixed ( for example ) [21:25] hi [21:25] i'm having a problem getting ubuntu to access my 160gig external usb to ide hard drive. [21:25] ikonia, 12.04 is lts [21:25] KxTwo: so ? [21:25] problem: wlan does work but lan with lan cable not. why? [21:26] ikonia: My first question here stated I knew the question was stupid and obvious, and as I've just said, I've been running without major problems for a couple months. [21:26] that makes no sense, why would 12.10 have a problem fixed but not the LTS version [21:26] KxTwo: because 12.10 is built on later technologies [21:27] Googol30: ok....and ? [21:27] honestly if that was the case then I would probably stop using lts versions as I see no benefit to them [21:27] KxTwo: then you don't understand the LTS process [21:27] ikonia: Also, running something in the range of 3 servers, I don't want to slow the system down by using a GUI. [21:27] if you say so [21:27] Googol30: why would a gui slow it down ? [21:27] I was specifically told, in here, that 12.04 was the better choice and more stable [21:27] KxTwo: correct [21:28] when i open a docx file in libre that has pictures the formatting is messed up [21:28] KxTwo: it has a support period of 5 years and is built on older more "trusted/tested" technology versions, hence why people feel it is more stable [21:28] makes no sense that .10 would boot efi but not .04 but Ill tell him to try and put 10 on again [21:29] KxTwo: it makes perfect sense, if the later technology of 12.10 has support for the hardware you need [21:29] hardware that is older than both distros [21:29] I will honestly say flash works a lot better when I was running 12.04. When I upgraded, refresh rate on the video dropped and I no longer get audio from flash alone. Any help? [21:29] KxTwo: that makes no different, it doesn't mean a solution existed at 12.04 time period [21:30] ikonia: A GUI would take up RAM to display, and I've set up a Minecraft server, local DNS server, Web server, and OpenSSH server without a problem, so I would rather stick to the command line if I don't need anything more. [21:31] Googol30: then I suggest researching the "mv" command in more detail and trying to pickup better basic shell interaction skills before trying to progress further [21:31] I found that there are great tutorials on youtube [21:31] captain_cook1: Probably a driver issue. It's unusual, that way around, but not unheard of. Not familiar with it, myself, but someone in here probably is. [21:32] ikonia: Running "info mv" and "man mv" were too vague to run off of, so I came here as a quick reference. [21:32] Googol30: man mv is not vague it's very detiled [21:33] detailed even [21:33] in a bash script, how would I be able to shorten $foo="variable" into just the first 2 char ie $foo2="va" ? [21:33] KxTwo: I should point out that the numbers are release dates, more than version numbers, so 12.10 is six months newer than 12.04. It therefore makes *perfect* sense that 12.10 has better EFI support. [21:33] !ot [21:33] #ubuntu is the Ubuntu support channel, for all Ubuntu-related support questions. Please use #ubuntu-offtopic for other topics (though our !guidelines apply there too). Thanks! [21:34] ghost562: Relevance? For just playing with the bot, I suggest taking it to PM. It'll respond just as well there. [21:35] ikonia: If I bothered you, I'm sorry for my occasional incompetence, but I don't want to screw up my system and run an unnecessary backup if all I need to do is visit a place I use as a point of reference, and ask a question, however dumb it may seem. [21:35] Googol30: you've not bothered me in the slightest. [21:35] ikonia, I don't understand by what you mean when you said to make same shares browse-able. I am trying to access my windows shared folder... I am not trying to access my samba shared folder from a windows machine. [21:36] PlastikSpork: ahh, my apologies, I had you back to front [21:36] i'm trying to get ubuntu to recognize this kindle fire. can someone help me? [21:36] indigo_glow: recognise it in what way ? [21:36] ikonia, i want to mount the device - but i can't even get it to show up [21:36] ikonia: Just explaining myself is all... [21:36] hello, can any tell me where can I download mozilla webmaker? Thanks [21:36] indigo_glow: does it support mass storage mode ? [21:37] athlon1: we are not a yellow pages of the internet [21:37] athlon1: I'm sure a Google search can help. [21:37] I get error "Unable to mount location, Failed to retrieve share list server" when i click on WORKGOUP when trying to access my window shared drives [21:38] I'm experiencing an issue with 12.10 where the login screen loops back to itself. Seemingly, there is an issue where X server crashes. I've gone through a few forums with no luck trying the suggestions. Does anyone have any ideas? Want more details? [21:38] ikonia, i don't think it has an option for that in the menu.. [21:38] when i open a docx file that has pictures in libre office the formatting is messed up [21:38] PlastikSpork: have you configured your ubuntu machine to participate in the same work group [21:38] software version 6.3.1 [21:38] Sorry. I've looking for many places... Thanks [21:38] indigo_glow: it's normally a default function [21:38] yes i check then in the config file [21:38] my workgroup name is WORKGROUP and that is what is in the file [21:38] PlastikSpork: ask the guys in ##windows what part of windows/service offers up the shares list [21:39] ikonia, when i go into settings there is no "storage" option in the menu [21:39] indigo_glow: there doesn't have to be, most devices would just "do it" if it supports it [21:40] help! I just installed my nvidia graphics driver and now unity has turned to unity 2D! [21:40] bloomingphoen1x: I can't help much myself, but I suspect whoever can will want a look at /var/log/Xorg.0.log - might as well get it pastebinned. [21:41] if anyone needs help transfering files from one computer to another go to channel #harrisr [21:41] harrisr: what ? [21:41] I just switched over from the windows installed version of Ubuntu to the regular installed version of ubuntu and removed windows. I was able to browse my windows network just fine with the windows install ubuntu [21:41] harrisr: no-one has asked for help with that, so please don't tell people to randomly join your channel [21:41] go to #harrisr and ill tell you [21:42] ikonia, well i need to mount the device so that i can root it .. i know its possible because ive read tons of tuts and watched many videos.. people were able to root it on windows linux and mac [21:42] harrisr: please don't do that [21:42] ok [21:42] but most of the tuts ive read leave out the part on how to get the OS to recognize the device [21:42] they dont give you the drivers [21:42] indigo_glow: does the windows platform use any specific software ? [21:42] does anyone know a lot about libre [21:42] i have a windows 7 computer here as well and i have the drivers for that but they don't work [21:43] ikonia, ive tried two different sets of drivers but device manager still says unknown device [21:44] indigo_glow: does the windows platform use any specific software ? [21:44] ikonia, hang on ill link you to what i used [21:44] indigo_glow: don't need a link [21:44] indigo_glow: just want to know if the windows platfor, uses specific software to do what you want [21:45] !anyone | harrisr [21:45] harrisr: A high percentage of the first questions asked in this channel start with "Does anyone/anybody..." Why not ask your next question (the real one) and find out? See also !details, !gq, and !poll. [21:46] ikonia: A little DDGing suggests that most of them involve downloading one zip archive or another, and that those which claim to work on linux include the necessary files for more than one OS. [21:46] Darael: thank you, interesting, so that suggests the fire should be a mass storage device to be able to be mounted [21:46] Darael, when i open a docx file that has pictures in libre office the formatting is messed up [21:47] can someone help please I am stuck in ubuntu 2D after installing the lastest graphic drivers [21:47] harrisr: Don't know myself, but seems quite likely someone will. [21:47] Darael: thank you.. can anyone please help? up to now i was used that linux recognizes interfaces automatically. [21:47] ikonia, it does, i'm trying to find it for you [21:47] i asked yesterday 20 times and today 10\ [21:47] ikonia: I am able to gain access to my windows shares via smb://192.168.1.3 -> which is the ip of my windows server [21:48] ikonia: The instructions I read don't even guarantee that: They involve running some script or other, but don't say anything about copying files directly to the device.

[21:49] http://rootkindlefire.com/kindle-fire-root/how-to-root-kindle-fire-6-3-1/ [21:50] hi boys [21:52] Hola. I've a rather odd question. I'd have a late-2012 Macbook Pro (pre-Retina), and I'd like to install Ubuntu alongside OSX. I've done dual-boot installs on Windows machines for years, and I'm comfortable in Linux, so that isn't a huge issue. What I'd like to do though, is to have a way to have both OSX and Ubuntu running simultaneously, or at least suspended in such a way I could switch OSes in a couple of seconds. Does [21:52] such a mechanism exist? [21:54] lyndsysimon: Basically? Not natively. With an SSD, one might be able to use hibernation and get the restore time way down, but the easiest way to do what th'art looking for is to use a virtual machine for one of them. Probably Ubuntu, since the machine in question is a Mac. [21:54] ikonia, may i pm you :) [21:55] Darael: Oh well. I appreciate it. I may eventually replace my optical drive with an SSD, but not at the moment. [21:55] lyndsysimon, http://www.omgubuntu.co.uk/2011/10/dual-boot-os-ubuntu look into that but is a year old === dooglus_ is now known as dooglus [21:56] Hello [21:56] I'm looking for side projects, and considering mobile development. iOS and Android are on my radar of course, but I'm developing quite a bit of confidence in Ubuntu's push into the mobile market. [21:56] hello guys [21:57] I have USB mount at /media/tor with a folder at /media/tor/music [21:57] do you know if possible to let update manager automatically updates without asking user action in ubuntu 12.04? [21:57] Unity struck me as retarded when it was released, because people were hawking it as "made of Netbooks!". Now that tablets and smartphones are ubiquitous, Ubuntu seems to be in an amazingly good position w/r/t an integrated development platform across many devices. [21:57] do you know if possible to let update manager automatically install updates without asking user action in ubuntu 12.04? [21:57] rock: hi. [21:57] But when I call music folder from a script it gives path does not exist [21:57] PLEASE HELP ive been asking for hours! my screen resolution suddenly turned to 640x480 after installing nvidia drivers and I URGENTLY need this computer for work [21:58] jackarg, reinstall the last known working driver [21:58] At this point, I consider Ubuntu Phones a more real possibility than Windows 8. [21:58] indigo_glow how do i do that? [21:58] jackarg, what version of ubuntu do you have installed? [21:59] sudo apt-get systeminfo install , that is how i got all to work [21:59] So ... what's the difference between qt4 and gtk20? Are they different widget sets, different libraries, what? If I have a choice of building an app using one vs the other, how do I decide which I should pick? [21:59] if you're not sure you can run lsb_release -a from a terminal [21:59] indigo_glow i have 12.04 [21:59] rock: Update manager, settings, updates tab. [21:59] lyndsysimon: Thy reasoning is sensible, in my opinion, but as this is a support channel I'm going to prod thee to take such conversation to #ubuntu-offtopic [21:59] i might have not wrote that right... plz clean that [21:59] so did they do something to compiz cube as it is not in the menu?? [21:59] rock: Look at its bottom - it has a setting of whether to ask before installing. [22:00] Thanks. My bad, didn't read the channel rules. [22:00] Greetings folks... Afternoon! [22:01] bravis: It's an option - of that I'm sure - but it's only available via ccsm and it may require installing extra plugin packages (eg compiz-plugins-extra - there are others, an apt-cache search away) first.

[22:21] Physicist: got it. video card driver [22:21] live usb boots ok [22:22] varunendra [22:22] plastikspork: if you hover on that it should raise arrows for you, as another way to scroll if you dont like using the touchpad. hope that all helps. [22:22] yep.. ;| [22:22] kinj: can you edit the boot line during boot-up? [22:22] Physicist: I can try reinstalling the driver, however, I can't think of when it might have changed. This didn't start until well after I had upgraded to 12.10. [22:22] what is the name of the app that allows you to create launchers? [22:22] anyone think they can help me with a xrandr issue? [22:23] i am using secure boot uefi how can i do it? [22:23] zimzum77 my resolution is STILL THE SAME!! [22:24] jackarg, do you hve the nvidia icon? [22:24] Exactely.. The same wiht me.. [22:24] with.. [22:24] where? I have the x server settings app but it is not in the additional drivers no [22:25] bloomingphoen1x: Just reinstall the drivers.. It will fix the problem. [22:25] jackarg, Dash nvidia x server setting...yes?/ [22:25] n1nj4dude: do you have any idea why I can not browse windows shared drives by opening up the file manager and clicking "Browse Network" -> "Windows Network" -> "WORKGROUP" . I get an error: Unable to mount location, Failed to retrieve share list from server. But when I mount the shared drives on boot up by editing fstab I am able to access them. [22:25] zimzum77 yes I've had that even before losing the resolution [22:25] PlastikSpork: did you do what I told you to do ? [22:25] varun [22:26] jackarg, Dash-system info [22:26] kinj: not sure about how it behaves with uefi, but normally the booting line contains the parameter "persistent" which makes it look for the "casper-rw" file/partition. [22:26] ikonia: I have no idea what you were asking me to [22:26] casper-rw did got created [22:26] PlastikSpork: I asked you to join ##windows and get info on what service advertises the shares [22:27] zimzum77 ok and? [22:27] jackarg, you should see the nvidia icon [22:27] in that panel [22:27] there is a 1.5gb filesize [22:27] i do but it leads straight to the x server settings [22:27] of casper-rw [22:27] and it says? [22:28] kinj: so if you can go to edit the boot line in advance boot menu (by pressing any key during boot-up) you should see the parameter "persistent" in the boot line. [22:28] zimzum77 the x server settings say "You do not appear to be using the NVIDIA X driver. Please edit your X configuration file (just run `nvidia-xconfig` as root), and restart the X server." [22:28] ikonia: I'll be right back and get that for you. [22:29] if it is not there, you can manually add it in the end of the line (or before "splash") [22:29] PlastikSpork: sadly, I have to [22:29] zimzum77 and I already did that but it didnt work [22:29] i am right now running this chat using live usb [22:29] jackarg, same thing it said to me. So what i did is went to bios-graphics-switchable or discrete, got to highlight decrete and save [22:30] once i restart i need to install everything again also chat zilla [22:30] jackarg, now i totally control my card [22:30] when it boots there is option of try ubuntu, oem install .... [22:30] zimzum77: your resolution was down like me and you fixed it that way? [22:30] i use the try ubuntu option [22:31] so just before this menu i press any key and it goes to boot line where i can add persistence [22:31] ?? [22:31] jackarg, YES Dude i sat on this shit for 2 days man. Like i said that is how it worked for me [22:31] kinj: if the "persistent" parameter is already in the boot line, then I guess the uefi thing may be the culprit. I'm not sure how to deal with it regarding persistence. sorry. kinj [22:31] thanks varunendra [22:31] zimzum77 ok so how do you do it tell me step by step [22:32] dammit, lost connection [22:32] for nothing :) [22:32] how to see the bootline [22:32] ?? [22:32] ziumzum77 and if we succeed you deserve a high-five :) [22:32] zimzum77: lol [22:33] during startup or after the startup [22:33] by pressing any key during boot up, you should get the advance boot menu, kinj [22:33] Physicist, why??? [22:33] lol [22:33] thanks i am trying and get back to you [22:33] during - when you see the purple screen [22:33] heh.. [22:34] grr lost the resolution any ideas? maybe drivers? [22:34] 1:00.0 VGA compatible controller: NVIDIA Corporation GF108 [GeForce GT 540M] (rev a1) [22:34] zimzum77 can you explain to me how? [22:35] jackarg, hang on [22:35] ok [22:35] hey i have a ati radeon 4200 and ubuntu 12.10 is it safe to install fglrx or the new amd catalyst 13.1 legacy driver from amd.com? [22:35] is there a way to get the name of a user you recently queried? [22:36] hi chat room, i have a acer aspire 3100 with ati radeon express 1100 graphics card, i tried installing the legacy catalyst drivers and now i don't have dual monitor support--only vga out to an external monitor. i would like to either remove the ati drivers and get the default ubuntu 12.10 drivers back or get working catalyst drivers with dual monitor support. does anybody know the commands to accomplish this? thanks in advance [22:36] .. [22:37] which version yakeb did you use [22:37] soon.. [22:37] fellayaboy: which version of the drivers? [22:37] yes [22:38] Where does uprecords-cgi store it's data? I want to reset it. [22:38] 13.1-legacy, i believe. [22:40] zimzum77? [22:40] hang on [22:40] i'm not fully certain [22:41] Nevermind, figured it out. [22:43] ... so, i wish i could help answer the last couple of questions, but i can't.. but instead i too have a question of my own. I'm running ubuntu 12.04 LTS. i noticed that when i log in my user (it loads desktop), then i "switch user" ( from the top right hand corner [this is unity GUI BTW]) i wait.. then it loads my other user desktop... if i want to switcher user back to the first one i logged in from, it doesnt require [22:43] if i could restore back to the generic drivers that ubuntu used by default, that would be helpful. it worked, but just didn't save display settings on reboot for some reason. [22:44] can anyone help me with a xrandr resolution error? after trying to --addmode i receive a badmatch error [22:44] nightdemon666: it doesn't require a password? [22:45] yakeb.. i believe you can disable the catalyst driver by black listing it. [22:45] nightdemon666: I think it has something to do with the lock screen prefs [22:45] not after already loggen in no (degru) [22:45] i'm trying to get ubuntu to recognize this kindle fire but lsusb returns nothing of relevance [22:45] nightdemon666: how do i blacklist it? [22:45] nightdemon666, both users are logged in and both desktops are running at the same time. if you want to close the session for the first user, you have to select the log out option [22:46] indigo_glow: Does your system detect any usb drives and is the kindle in USB storage mode? [22:46] * un1xfreak listens ro Radiohead [22:46] Degru, how do i put the kendle in mass storage mode? [22:46] ok well great the person who was helping me quit so now can ANYONE help me get my screen resolution back to normal after installing nvidia graphics drivers please I would really appreciate it [22:46] jackarg, i'm still here [22:47] indigo_glow: not sure. I don't have one. I know regular kindle defaults to usb storage when connected to a PC. [22:47] kostkon, but if this was a machine that required to have multiple users to be logged in, wouldnt that be an issue? perhaps i have changed an option that would normally require a password again? [22:47] zimzum77 oops I saw you log off maybe it was someone else. have you got a way to help? [22:47] just testing [22:47] Degru, all of the tutorials ive been reading and all of the videos ive watched do not say anything about usb mass storage [22:47] jackarg, yea yea, i'm digging on this one [22:47] i have 2 pcs behind a router..i want both of them to be accesed from outside the router (via internet)...my router only allows me to open a port for one pc at a time how do i go about this? [22:48] what are you doing exactly zimzum77? [22:48] quit [22:48] youtubeing for a vid to show you [22:49] jackarg, everything i'm seeing has amd, not nvidia [22:49] nightdemon666, no, because in that kind of environments you either lock your screen or log out. the the user switcher indicator exists and it's there only for convenience [22:49] yakeb, what i would do, is find out what the module name is for the catalyst driver. then i would blacklist it in the /etc/modprobe.d/blacklist.conf file. if the original driver no longer wants to work any more, than i would just force it to run at boot in the /etc/moduels file [22:49] zimzum77 but didn't you do it? maybe write up a step by step thing, or look for a tutorial in text if you can't find vids [22:50] i have 2 pcs behind a router..i want both of them to be accesed from outside the router (via internet)...my router only allows me to open a port for one pc at a time how do i go about this? [22:50] indigo_glow: from what I've found on google it should show a fullscreen thing that says "you can now transfer files from your computer" and it should have some kind of disconnect button [22:50] indigo_glow: if your kindle fire shows that then the computer should be able to recognize it as a usb drive [22:50] i see, then kostkon... if i "lock screen" from unity, does that put you back into the user login screen? havent tried that yet... [22:51] nightdemon666: i think it does if i remember correctly [22:51] well then that would solve my concern :D [22:51] nightdemon666: there's no screensaver functionality, so it wouldn't just start a screensaver. [22:51] well, i did install xscreensaver... do you think that will now interfere with unity lock screen feature returning to the login screen? [22:52] jackarg, yes i did, so shut down, start up, hit f10, or 12 to enter setup. then you need to find graphics. Now you need to see if it is switchable, if it is it'll say it. So now you need to make it NOT switchable [22:52] zimzum77 i need to enter bios? [22:52] yes [22:52] nightdemon666: does it show xscreensaver when you click lock screen? if it does, that's ok too because then you can click switch user and go to the login screen [22:52] nightdemon666, at the moment, lightdm isn't being used for the lock screen [22:53] i see... i guess i have some trouble shooting to do :) [22:53] ok i'll do that and i'll come back with what i found stay here zimzum77 [22:53] gunna go play and see what happends === c_smith_away is now known as c_smith [22:54] Degru, everything ive read shows that too but when i plug my kendle fire into the computer the screen does not change, i can still access the carocell and open apps and what not [22:54] i should get a screen like you were saying but its not doing it [22:54] nightdemon666: I really hate unity. When dealing with it I just don't touch the default settings at all. I prefer some other flavor like kubuntu [22:54] !ubiquity > ntzrmtthihu777 [22:54] indigo_glow: try plugging a normal usb drive in your computer; does it work? [22:55] jackarg, i will [22:55] Degru: I agree, unity is atrocious [22:56] i have 2 pcs behind a router..i want both of them to be accesed (port 22: ssh) from outside the router (via internet)...my router only allows me to open a port for one pc at a time how do i go about this? [22:58] fellayaboy: Pick a different port for the second computer. [22:58] I did the unistalltion of the fglrx driver, meantime, when I run the Catalyst installer, shows that a previously is detected.. How to delete all relationed with the driver.. To unistall everything? [22:58] how do i get ssh to change from port 22 to lets say port 23 [22:59] ?? [22:59] fellayaboy, does the router allow forwarding a different external port to 22? like 500 > 22 [22:59] Can anybody help me? [22:59] fellayaboy, just an fwi, the firewall on your router would have to know what ip address to forward those packets to... that being said if you have both open at port 22 and want them both listening on the internet, i dont think this can be done. you would have to understand networking and know that you need both listening on two different ports [23:00] zimzum77 I pressed f2 to get into bios but there was no section for graphics [23:00] heey.. Please... [23:01] How to uninstall all ATI driver to install the leatest? [23:01] i understand networking some [23:02] i just want to know the command to have ssh listen onto a different port [23:02] nightdemon666: thank you for your advice. I will give this a try. [23:02] edit /etc/ssh/sshd_config and set port value to what you want [23:03] 0011100010001010111000101100010001000010000110100100100101000101 0100010 0101001 100101 010001 10011011 011101001 11110 11101 10000010 111101 11100 01111101 110 [23:03] bingo thank u [23:03] also, degru and kostkon, since i have installed xscreensaver, that breaks the Ctrl Alt L key combo ( which i know i can adjust) that is used for unity/gnome 3 lock screen feature. this is probably how i caused my problem in the first place. xscreensaver screws that up.. and in the even that i have xscreensaver running in the back groun, IF i want to switch user, and require a password if already logged in, it requires [23:03] thank you very much guys [23:04] zimzum77? [23:04] jackarg, hrmm [23:04] jackarg, your'e sure you nvidia? [23:04] zimzum77 i'm sure lemme look one last time at the bios [23:04] nightdemon666: you should probably enable the shortcut in the xscreensaver config. [23:05] hold on..say i put the port onto 22 wouldnt that conflict with other programs that use it...i believe telnet uses 23 or ftp i beleive...will that cause issues..should i use a higher up port such as 1333 or something [23:05] yeah, agreed degru [23:05] i mean if i use another port like 23 for ssh... [23:05] jackarg, it' prolly in advanced or something [23:06] yes, fellayaboy it would, soooo, you ned to change to a port that you arent ever going ot use... i use 443 (htp) i dont run a https server do that s ok. change listening ports in /etc/ssh/sshd_config file. change Port 22 to Port what ever you want that isnt already using that port [23:06] can you safely uninstall ubiquity from a finished installation? [23:06] (|) [23:07] thank u nightdemon666 [23:07] CharmStrange: Sending nonsense messages won't get you an answer any faster. [23:08] zimzum77 so there is no mention of the graphics driver besides the model name [23:08] zimzum77 if you can't do it do you know someone else who could help me? [23:08] which is?? [23:08] fellayaboy, if you dont plan on EVER running port 23 as telnet protocol in the future (and i dont recommend you do for security reasons) than run both server one port 22 then server two poer 23, but i would use a port that i KNOW i will likely NEVER use [23:08] ntzrmtthihu777: Ubiquity shouldn't be installed in a finished installation, if it is then something has gone wrong. [23:08] zimzum77 well it's nvidia i didn't write down the following numbers [23:09] wow it sure looks better with the actual nvidia drivers.. [23:09] Jordan_U: its a remaster [23:09] fellayaboy, i run two ssh server, and i use the poo out of them, so i know alot about ssh server running if you have other questions, by all means aSK :) [23:09] as;dlfkh [23:09] ntzrmtthihu777: Then you can safely remove ubiquity, but you should tell whoever made it to fix their remaster. [23:10] nightdemon666 tell me about tunnels...how are they used [23:10] h00k: testing [23:10] !test | BUTTERBEER [23:10] BUTTERBEER: Testing... Testing... 1. 2.. 3... ( by the way, remember that you can use /join #test ) [23:10] yes! tunnels are great! what exactly do you want to know about them??? [23:10] BUTTERBEER: Please use #test for tests, not #ubuntu. [23:10] jackarg_, I'm srry man i told you all i know at this point.... :( Like i said thatis everything i did to my puter to get it to run [23:10] Jordan_U: Apologies, unaware of the channel. [23:10] !test | Butter [23:10] Butter: Testing... Testing... 1. 2.. 3... ( by the way, remember that you can use /join #test ) [23:11] zimzum77 can you ask anyone you know can help to help me? [23:11] BUTTERBEER: No problem :) [23:11] :) [23:11] How are nvidia drivers on ubuntu? [23:12] I have a gtx 670 and yes I'm making a backup but I wanna know how are the drivers in functionality / stability on ubuntu [23:12] Jordan_U: thankya [23:12] good? [23:12] ntzrmtthihu777: You're welcome. [23:12] *chortles* nvidia hell [23:13] hahaaaaYES, they suck, until they are config [23:13] zimzum77: are you zimzum_ ? [23:13] nell, there are two versions of nvidia drivers available on ubuntu: the opensource ones (used by default) which are basically crap and the nvidia provided binary driver which is the same codebase as windows versions [23:13] ntzrmtthihu777, this is the trend today grphics lol [23:14] i'll start with ssh tunnel is like a vpn, but its selective. first of all, ssh is generally used ot establish a remote commandline connection to the computer. like telnet. then you have sftp, which is a subsystem of ssh, and can be accomplished by a program that supports sftp and will allow you to graphically admin files. then there is what people normally refer to ssh tunnel, and thats really a SOCKS proxy for web bro [23:14] lol, right? I was just having an issue with my gpu getting too hot, got screen jitters from it [23:14] ntzrmtthihu777, yes it me, i had to change nick [23:14] nell: Performance and stability wise, very good (unless you need Optimus support). Though they don's support KMS and other nice features, and taint the kernel by being closed source. [23:14] mavrik do you know how to solve screen resolution problems caused by that driver? [23:15] nell: for optimus support you would need bumblebee [23:15] bastards said my zimzum was taken [23:15] jackarg_, hmm, the 313 version "just worked" for me on all systems [23:15] jackarg_, you're supposed to use nvidia-settings to set parameters [23:15] gotcha nightdemon666 so a tunnel would would work this way...ur on a network that prevents outbound traffic through port 22 hwo would u use a tunnel to get thru that barrier [23:16] Is Skype availible on 13.04 beta release? [23:16] use a differnt port [23:16] Anyone know of a working driver for this device? https://gist.github.com/gitt/5078774 [23:17] mavrik idk i've just got stuck in unity 2D at 640x480 and i've been trying for literally 2 hours but no one can help :/ [23:17] I attempted tg3, but it didn't seem to pick up the device when I ran modprobe. [23:17] it could be though, that the network you are on not only blocks port 22, but also blocks that protocol.. which means NO ssh data packets would ever escape the gatway anyway :( [23:17] mavrik it was after installing the nvidia driver [23:17] jackarg_: damn that sucks. [23:18] nightdemon666: One could just change the default port in sshd, yes? [23:18] I had a VMware Ubuntu server 12.10 running perfectly until I rebooted. Now it's hanging on boot after saying "microcode: failed to laod file amd-ucode/microcode_amd_fam15h.bin". What can I do? [23:18] correct end_guy [23:18] ntzrmtthihu777, mavrik, can none of you point me towards the right direction i'm desperate and it's 12 am here in europe [23:18] i do A LOT of things via ssh and command line. so i just run vi from command line and change the config file when i need to :) [23:19] ntzrmtthihu777, it says he needs to run xorg nividia config as root [23:19] jackarg_: hmmm, how did you install the drivers [23:20] jackarg_: what is your make and model, also [23:20] Is there a channel for beta realeases of ubuntu? [23:20] NullEntity, sudo apt-get install amd64-microcode should fix that, not sure this applies for VMware too, i fixed mine with this same error this way [23:20] nvm [23:21] just had to build tg3 from source. [23:21] brb [23:21] end_guy: #ubuntu+1 I think [23:21] i did 'sudo add-apt-repository ppa:ubuntu-x-swat/x-updates' then 'sudo apt-get update && sudo apt-get install nvidia-current nvidia-settings' i have the geforce if you want the numbers and all i'll go to bios and get it four you [23:21] OerHeks, it doesn't even reach a shell [23:22] jackarg_: yes, I should like to know your machine's make and model. is it off the shelf or custom built? [23:22] it's off the shelf it's an acer aspire v3-571 do you want the exact nvidia driver number? [23:23] actually, it might be booting to a shell now [23:24] If I installed kubuntu but now I want to go all the way back to ubuntu how would I do it? it was kubuntu 12.10 [23:24] ntzrmtthihu777: it's off the shelf it's an acer aspire v3-571 do you want the exact nvidia driver number? [23:25] jackarg_, you got the same card i do geForce335m [23:25] :D then tell him how to enable that in the bios [23:26] probably so now what :'( i'm litterally begging you for any answer :D [23:26] :/ [23:26] I tried but he can't find it [23:26] how can i change default apps (calendar, browser, etc.) from command line? [23:26] i lookig fora vid [23:26] ntzrmtthihu777: there is no section for the graphics card in the bios [23:27] its gottabe in an advanced menu, i see that it is switchble [23:28] zimzum77: not sure how to access the advanced menu [23:29] did you go to website and get drivers? [23:29] isnt that something you have to install? [23:30] zimzum77: what? === kandinsk1 is now known as kandinski [23:30] jackarg_, here is the drivers from acer http://us.acer.com/ac/en/US/content/model-features/NX.RYFAA.005 [23:30] advancd menu [23:30] jackarg_, that is ur puter right? [23:31] yes it is [23:33] jackarg_, sudo apt-get install nvidia_current [23:34] zimzum77: should it not be nvidia-current? [23:34] zimzum77 that's how i got in this mess in the first place...it's already installed [23:34] I never saw a _ in a package name [23:35] bigbadben: If you installed xubuntu from ubuntu by running "sudo apt-get install kubuntu-desktop", look at this guide for help going back: http://www.psychocats.net/ubuntu/pureubuntu . If you installed it from the CD, you can probably do "sudo apt-get install ubuntu-desktop and it should install unity and all that stuff. [23:35] that is how i ran it [23:35] bigbadben: *kubuntu [23:36] zimzum77: maybe ctrl-f1 to get to advanced settings? [23:36] i don't now man [23:37] lemme try [23:37] should have gnubuntu === un1xfreak is now known as ravehacker [23:40] Hi all [23:40] degru: How would I get rid of all the extras kubuntu came with tho? [23:41] maybe he need the bumble bee ntzrmtthihu777 ?? All i did was turned it off and booted up with chipset on, then i go to system info and i can control all [23:44] ok i can't find anything in bios nothing new on your side zimzum77? I guess I just need to reinstall ubuntu. Something that I just did yesterday night because of nvidia giving me a blackscreen in 12.10. WHAT A PAIN! [23:44] i am following this guide. i am trying to identify the id of the device with dmesg .. here is the guide http://askubuntu.com/questions/177555/managing-kindle-fire-with-on-12-04-via-micro-usb i am trying to use and here is the output of dmesg http://pastebin.com/Dnq514eE will can someone help me figure out bc i don't completely understand [23:45] Is there a way to get apt-get to auto install dependencies? i.e. when trying to install a package and it says something like "Depends: X but it is not going to be installed" [23:45] jackarg, DAMN!! srry my man, i fuked with that for 2 days..... : ( [23:46] man apt-get didn't answer that question... [23:46] :'( IDK WHAT TO DO ugh! [23:46] ++ [23:46] jackarg, you dont need to reinstall [23:46] +963 [23:46] *+963 [23:46] zimzum77 do you have relations with people better in that field? [23:46] paste me the output of lspci [23:47] indigo_glow then tell me what do i do?! [23:47] it's been two friggin hours! [23:47] jackarg, paste me the output of lspci [23:47] guys [23:47] jackarg, you're talking to em [23:47] what's happening to ubuntu development ML? [23:47] I'm getting houndreds of email in few minutes! O_o [23:47] jackarg, imea indigo_glow [23:48] *mean [23:48] what's the command to paste bin again ? [23:49] end_guy, i imagine there probably is a way but i my self am not sure of how to go about doing that [23:50] indigo_glow: so I'm resorting to aptitude to figure this out for me, but I don't like it's solutions it's purposing. [23:50] s/purposing/proposing/ [23:51] indigo_glow http://paste.ubuntu.com/5583780/ [23:51] what is it proposing? [23:51] hello [23:51] to pretty much downgrade my 13.04 install ;-) [23:51] it's not april now [23:52] indigo_glow you think you can fix it before the night ends? otherwise say so [23:52] indigo_glow: V [23:52] oops [23:52] indigo_glow: https://gist.github.com/dchapman1988/5078947 [23:53] * end_guy is trying to install ia32-libs-multiarch === debsan_ is now known as debsan [23:54] end_guy, how did you end up with so many dependencies? [23:55] I'm guessing that it has something to do with me upgrading to beta version of ubuntu, having a 64 bit machine, and trying to install the 32bit libraries [23:56] can anyone help me execute a program that ubuntu that says he file '/tmp/adobe-release-i386-1.0-1.noarch.rpm' is not marked as executable. If this was downloaded or copied from an untrusted source, it may be dangerous to run. For more details, read about the executable bit. [23:57] javi_: It's not an executable; it's a package. [23:57] javi_: you can't execute the rpm, you have to install it, except you cn't install rpm on ubuntu [23:57] where'd you get this file? [23:57] im tryin to download flash adobe for youtube [23:57] jackarg, im not sure tbh [23:58] javi_: You need to get a package called alien (sudo apt-get install alien) and (i think) run "alien package.rpm" to convert it to package.deb. THen you run "sudo dpkg -i package.deb". [23:58] from where [23:58] indigo_glow, you see I do have to reinstall. ok well unless any of you have any last words I need to go to sleep. thanks for your help anyways [23:59] okay guys please back up for a minute [23:59] this is not how you install flash on ubuntu [23:59] javi_: Oh, if it's flash then you go to the software center and lookup flash. [23:59] zimzum77: thanks for trying good bye [23:59] jackarg, srry buddy [23:59] i always uppack these packages and install files by hand
