[00:00] Jordan_U: it seems it did not work because the bin and cue did not have the same name, but i have 2 bin and I can't have both be the same name, right? [00:00] I guess I'll come back when Ubuntu has actual UEFI support then. [00:00] PlastikSpork: Certain filesystems do allow for full restore images. [00:00] I think ZFS does. [00:00] nilfs2 allows for arbitrary checkpoints. [00:00] I <3 nilfs2 [00:01] Untitled1: http://www.h-online.com/open/news/item/Booting-Linux-using-UEFI-can-brick-Samsung-laptops-1793958.html [00:01] I honestly don't know that much about filesystems. I'll learn eventually. [00:01] Untitled1: ubuntu jas uefi support [00:01] Ubuntu comes with a data backup solution, so you can backup your system too. [00:01] Anyone? [00:01] iceroot: Great! Assuming I'm OK with the weird hardware bricking risk, how do I boot the Ubuntu installer on an UEFI-only box? [00:02] Untitled1: ask your maufactor how to boot from usb [00:02] Untitled1 https://help.ubuntu.com/community/UEFIBooting [00:02] I suggest returning it to manufacturer [00:02] Untitled1: everything you need should be there [00:02] mJayk: If you scroll back, you see that I read that link. That link requires you to create a MBR boot stick to install for UEFI. [00:02] That only works if your laptop can boot from MBR. [00:02] I need to be all-UEFI, all the time. [00:03] So, there exists no UEFI-only install media for Ubuntu? [00:03] use windows then [00:03] Rokkross: whats your suggestion to get this laptop up and running again? [00:03] Untitled1: sadly I wont because I wasnt in the channel then :) [00:03] nikitis: All helpful today I see. [00:03] Untitled1: sure, the normal ubuntu iso [00:03] PlastikSpork: Did you type in the command I told you to? [00:03] Untitled1: its not ubuntu fault if your hardware can not boot from usb [00:03] Manufacturers aren't going to get the hint unless people start returning their hardware [00:03] iceroot: Where are the UEFI boot files for that iso? Can I put those on my UEFI boot partition? [00:04] iceroot: My hardware can boot from USB just fine. If it has UEFI system partitions. [00:04] Untitled1: it doesnt work like that [00:04] !uefi [00:04] UEFI is a specification that defines a software interface between an operating system and platform firmware, it is meant as a replacement for the BIOS. For information on how to set up and install Ubuntu and its derivatives on UEFI machines please read https://help.ubuntu.com/community/UEFI [00:04] I didn't see what you typed.. [00:04] cat /var/log/dpkg.log | grep "\ install\ " [00:04] I understand. [00:04] That should show your most recently installed packages. Find one related to your video driver [00:04] it should say "ati" somewhere [00:04] Jordan_U: seems to be working [00:05] gotcha hold on [00:05] So does anyone know if mounting usb hdd's can still be mounted anywhere besides /media? [00:05] If the output is too long and you don't see any package related to it, try typing the same thing but like this: cat /var/log/dpkg.log | grep "\ install\ " | less [00:05] hi, how can I pass options to the time command? [00:05] when i try time -v it tries to run "-v" [00:05] When I trick the bios into trying to boot from a regular syslinux (for example) prepared USB stick, it looks at the stick, then decides there's no UEFI firmware on that stick, and moves on to the firmware on the built-in disk. [00:05] people, curently i am using vgaswitcheroo to shutdown my ati hd5470 card to use the intel hd3000 but for a unknown reason, when i setup the stuff in rc.local file, it disables my sound card. it simply doesn't detect it. I think its because of the "sleep 6" comand that i had there. i can remove it but i will make my system freeze on boot. but if i remove it, it detects my sound card. What to do? [00:06] If I can put UEFI firmware for Ubuntu onto a UEFI partition on a USB stick, then I can boot Ubuntu from that USB stick. <-- this is my assertion [00:06] Untitled1: the link says that only the amd64 version supports uefi [00:06] Yes, and that's the version I'm using. [00:06] I can read. I've followed the page. [00:06] The page requires using a MBR-capable BIOS to boot the installer. [00:06] Rokkross how do you display that page by page... a whole bunch just flew by the screen [00:06] After which you can install on UEFI media. [00:06] I just said [00:07] cat /var/log/dpkg.log | grep "\ install\ " | less [00:07] notice the change at the end [00:07] Untitled1: i just re-logged in but it still says permission denied [00:07] hi, when i try "time -v program" it tries to run "-v", how can I pass an option to time? [00:07] Did you set the permissions of the file and directory to 664/775? [00:07] By default, group is not given write permission. [00:07] So no one knows about USB HDD's? [00:08] i cant even access the directory [00:08] nikitis: what are you trying to do [00:08] FuZi0N: Is the group able to read every directly from root to that location? [00:08] Once you're there, is the group set for the directory? [00:08] ntzrmtthihu777: i'm trying to have fstab mount a usb hdd on boot to /home/user/Backup dir. But it's not happening. If I manually mount it afterwards, it's fine. [00:08] And is the permission on the directory 775? (rwxrwxr-x) [00:08] httpd command not found on ubuntu 10.0... what do i do ? === coldblade is now known as msx [00:09] nikitis: You probably are suffering from a late-appearing mount. [00:09] nikitis: pastebin your fstab and lemme have a look at it [00:09] Use an udev rule to trigger the mount command. Or switch to systemd ;-) [00:09] anew: sounds like you want to start apache2 [00:10] start apache2 ? [00:10] anew: what is your real question? [00:10] Untitled1 how do i set the group for a specific directory? [00:10] that is my question... how do i use httpd if it says command not found [00:10] anew: what you want to do with httpd (httpd is apache 2 the http webserver) [00:11] ntzrmtthihu777: http://pastebin.com/iLYBGYQk [00:11] i need to use httpd -X [00:11] Does anyone here run Gnome with ubuntu [00:11] ive been force to fedora and started to fall in love iwht gnome [00:11] anew: for what reason? again, what is the real question? what you want zo do? [00:11] mJayk: I have gnome [00:11] i have a 500 error and need to figure out why [00:11] nikitis: I meant the whole thing [00:11] ntzrmtthihu777: did you install the desktop or did you install the ubuntu gnome remix thing [00:12] anew: you have a 500 error on your own webserver? [00:12] mJayk: I am using pinguy os 12.04 [00:12] yes [00:12] iceroot [00:12] anew: less /var/log/apache2/error.log [00:12] obviously already tried that... [00:12] anew: could you please post usefull details? [00:12] ntzrmtthihu777: ah ok [00:12] anew: so we dont have to guess everything [00:12] ntzrmtthihu777: cheers :) [00:13] ntzrmtthihu777: http://pastebin.com/Nzr5pXBd [00:13] mJayk: pinguy os is ubuntu, its just pre-customized (very nicely I might add) [00:13] my details are : when i type in httpd i get command not found. the binary was renamed so how do i figure out what it was renamed to [00:13] anew: who renamed the binary? [00:13] anew: and the binary is called "apache2" [00:14] i have no idea !! [00:14] anew: that is the default webserver on ubuntu [00:14] So I'm having trouble getting gDevilspie scripts to automatically move a window to a certain viewport/workspace. Has anyone here succeeded with that? It's annoying to have a jumble of Devilspie and Compiz settins [00:14] nikitis: you should use default options and pass 0 [00:14] Rokkross how do you search that. dpkg.log [00:15] shoudn't it be 0 2? cause it should mount after /dev/sda1? [00:15] ntzrmtthihu777: so just defaults 0 0 [00:15] that only matters if its the same physical device, if its a separate device you can do it at the same time [00:16] ntzrmtthihu777: ah didn't know that [00:16] nikitis: man fstab will tell you more, if you wanna learn [00:19] ntzrmtthihu777: Back, that didn't work Same result [00:19] man is, imho, one of the most useful commands you can learn. [00:19] nikitis: are you sure you got the right uuid? [00:19] ntzrmtthihu777: possitive, checked twice, but I will check a 3rd [00:20] ntzrmtthihu777: /dev/sdb1: LABEL="The Bible" UUID="c8280782-d76f-4f3b-bcdf-6dd7cdef3882" TYPE="ext4" [00:20] that's the one [00:21] from blkid [00:21] My X11 crashed... where should I report the bug? [00:22] !bug [00:22] 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. [00:22] of course you need to determine if it was X11 bug.. or a video driver bug.. [00:22] I have a backtrace... the actual crash is inside libpixman [00:23] nikitis: well it that does not do it there is a gui tool for doing it, storage device manager [00:23] id search the bug reports for allready reported similer bugs first [00:23] ntzrmtthihu777: when mounting after the fact using sudo mount -t ext4 /dev/sdb1/ /home/nikitis/Backup === wedgwood is now known as wedgwood_away [00:24] ntzrmtthihu777: it works fine. but just can't get it to automount. I was reading somewhere that possibly udisk2 prevents mounting in /home dir's anymore and it has to be in /media/username. that had better not be true. [00:24] nikitis: not using an encrypted home are you? [00:25] dr_willis: well he did have crypt swap, so maybe [00:25] dr_willis: don't think so, but i'm not entirely sure [00:25] nikitis: you could mount it to /media/whatever and have a link in your users home to it.. [00:25] dr_willis: how can i check [00:25] no idea. I dont use encrypted stuff. ;) [00:25] dr_willis: i don't usually either, but it's possible i forgot to uncheck during install [00:26] Hmm... now I'm using Mint KDE... should I send it along to Mint or Ubuntu? [00:26] if you login to rescue/recovery mode and look in your home and see no real files/ :) is how people normally discover it [00:26] Could someone help me determine which of the cips specified on page 4 of this doc http://www.lenovo.com/shop/emea/content/pdf/notebooks/thinkpad/x-series/X121e_AMD/en/X121e_DS_AMD_EN.pdf is the GPU? [00:26] It's probably the same underlying package [00:26] s/cips/chips/ [00:26] SiegeLord: if you are using mint.. send it to the mint guys [00:26] Ok [00:27] if you can repeate the same bug on ubuntu.. then send it to the ubuntu guys [00:27] Anybody here know much about GPT and grub setup? === Guest35236 is now known as PlastikSpork === Guest92126 is now known as Awesomeee [00:28] I've setup a new drive with GPT and copied my system to it.

[00:45] nikitis, one idea would be to add the mount of that drive to the init scripts, probably to /etc/rc.local whose purpose is for custom config stuff that happens at the end if the init process [00:46] when i go to finish partitioning it says i didnt select a mount point for /sda5 [00:46] even though i selected them combined into the root partition as / [00:46] kostkon: it sounds to me like canonical is having another case of NIH-syndrome [00:46] Boohbah, eh whatever :P that belongs to #ubuntu-offtopic [00:47] Boohbah, yeah, possibly. but we can't discuss it here :( [00:47] No mount point is assigned for the ext4 file system in partition #4 of SCSI3, If you do not go back to the partitioning menu and assign a mount point from there, this partition will not be used at all [00:47] kostkon: isn't this the ubuntu channel? [00:47] Boohbah: NIH ? [00:47] but the "RAID" partition those 2 created is mounted as / [00:47] should I go forward? [00:47] Boohbah, this channel is only for support.

[00:54] mJayk: thanks for the answer. [00:54] i wish ubuntu still covered RAID installation in its standard install discs [00:55] and i didnt have to use this alternative disc [00:55] n-iCe: haven't given an answer yet - cant decide if sarcasm :). anyway sounds liek you are using unity [00:55] hello [00:55] if you go and click the launcher button (top right) and type system [00:56] Taev, the alternate cd does raid installation [00:56] im saying that i wish the regular one did [00:56] like i did in the older distros [00:56] n-iCe: if you go and click the launcher button (top right) and type system youll get your system settings - through there you have desktop settings [00:57] anybody know why I can't send anything on #linux?

To use GNOME Shell instead, install the "gnome-shell" package and investigate "gnome-tweak-tool". For GNOME Fallback mode, which is similar to GNOME 2, install "gnome-panel". Both packages will place entries in the Sessions dropdown. Using Natty? See !classic [01:00] n-iCe: 2 seconds [01:00] mJayk: what forum post? [01:00] Taev, how did the previous install die?

[01:16] mJayk maybe i didnt explain myself well, my blame. the icon in unity of home folder suddenly change to one showing a cabinet i dont like it at all, i want the old icon of home folder where it shows the folder with a home icon inside. [01:17] lauratika: yes to change it back find the icon you want in /usr/share/icons/ then edit the file above? I dont know how to "revert to old settings" just how to replace it [01:18] n-iCe: im running fedora 17 atm with the default gnome - on my "main" pc I use ubuntu 12.10 with kde - thinking of switching to default gnome as I like this so much [01:18] lauratika: if you look arund in /usr/share/icons u shud find the original home folder icon in there do you get what I mean ? I'm not very good at explantions [01:19] yes thanx, now i know what happens, radiance is missing from the list of icons from the appereance menu, any ideas how to fix this? [01:20] Hello, all - I've recently installed ubuntu 12.04 on an nforce 630a motherboard (geforce 7025), and while my graphics work fine from my live USB stick, I keep getting a black screen (Mode not supported message from my monitor) after rebooting. I've tried several things, including adding "GRUB_GFXMODE=640x480" to my grub config, but then I simply boot up into low graphics mode every time, with no option to save any settings. Please h [01:21] <[Saint]> Can anyone assist me in restoring the default list of internet radio stations for rhytmbox, please? [01:21] lauratika: Ah yea if you icons are no longer there that wont work :D, im not sure how to get them back tbh apart from redownloading / installing the theme [01:22] how can i install a theme in ubuntu 12.04? [01:23] [Saint]: Seen that problem before on the forums exit rythbox [01:23] [Saint]: navigate as sudo to .local/share/rhythembox/hythemdb.xml [01:23] [Saint]: navigate as sudo to .local/share/rhythembox/rhythmdb.xml [01:24] and delete the file [01:24] <[Saint]> I have tried to remove ~/.local/share/rhythmbox, and ~/.cache/rhythmbox, follwed by apt-get autoremove -- purge rhythmbox - and re-installation, but to no avail. [01:24] have you tried sudo touch ~./local/share/rhythembox/rhythmdb.xml i assume u have [01:24] * [Saint] nods [01:24] boos [01:25] mJayk: ccsm right?

I can't give ccsm enough praise. [01:25] great [01:26] Can gnome 2 be installed, instead of unity/gnome3? [01:26] * [Saint] likes the 'magic lamp" animation - and applied it to just about everything [01:26] n-ice: shud be allready installed [01:26] gnome2? [01:26] n-iCe: logout - look at the white ubuntu logo thing by ur username thing - click it and you can choose from a few different types of desktop enviro's [01:27] o.O [01:27] Maybe this would help ? udev-fallback-graphics main process (1748) terminated with status 1 [01:27] n-iCe: should have a lightweight version of unity there unity 2-d or something [01:27] From dmesg [01:27] And if I choose gnome2 will that stop launching all the effects and big sizes stuff loading at boot? [01:27] n-iCe: if you chooes gnome2 (if its there) then yes itll just launch g2 [01:27] <[Saint]> n-iCe: for that boot only, yes.

[02:10] is there a way to restore the MBR from a Live CD [02:10] errr, ntzrmtthihu777 ? I just run sudo apt-get install ubiquity but it is said it is already the newest version.

We can read lowercase too. [02:10] IT'S EASIER THAN THE USB [02:10] Question - If one would install Gnome Shell on 12.04, would that be some sort of crazy dependency headache? I was quite disappointed with installing Kubuntu-Desktop on Ubuntu, but I wonder if Gnome Shell would be smoother... Thoughts? [02:11] invitingfaithman: you can use unetbootin as you were told or follow the instructions you are given at ubuntu.com [02:11] Using "remastersys" how much data can be backed up ? I read somewhere there is a 4gb limit, is it true ? [02:11] Shouldn't be, I got gnome shell running once [02:11] invitingfaithman: you can use unetbootin, or YUMI to install it to a usbdrive. Both can be looked up on Google and are really easy to use. [02:11] I hate gnome shell though [02:11] roasted: gnome-shell is just a shell for gnome....you are already using gnome [02:11] Capprentice: is it possible that the 4GB limitation was referring to some sort of DVD usage? [02:11] Capprentice, it is not the remastrsys limit I believe. It is because fat filesystem can't handle file larger than that [02:12] xangua: that was my thought process too. Figured I'd ask in case anybody had a "Whoa don't do that!" story. [02:12] invitingfaithman: they basically have an installer where you select your downloaded ISO file, the drive you want to put it on, and it does the rest. [02:12] 16BG IS BETTER [02:12] OPS [02:12] getting it now thanks so much [02:12] Ok so If I use multiple DVDs, can I backup a 50 GB hdd ? [02:12] 16GBs** [02:12] thierry is your caps lock key broken?

[02:21] you can dd your_harddisk to another_harddisk with the same size or perhaps bigger. [02:21] Oh ! sorry. I did not knew there were dd commands. Can Acronis True image be used to backup the Ubuntu partition too ? I have windows in other partition. I can use that.

After all, doing anything as root when root is not needed is bad, and especially bad with software that connects to the Internet. [02:45] root0: hi [02:45] no possible w00t [02:45] fluvvell the symptom is that I can't see the samba share from windows [02:46] mega haxx [02:46] there is no active firewall on the linux box and they both seem to be on the same workgroup... at least they both have the same workgroup name set [02:46] in honesty, I'm not sure how to be sure they're *actually* on the same workgroup beyond that [02:46] burfl, did you configure your /etc/samba/smb.conf file yourself or just share from nautilus?

[02:51] fluvvell, the one that is had by doing 'sudo apt-get install system-config-samba' [02:51] dr_willis, the ping from the linux box seems to have worked [02:52] it was saying "64 bytes received from..."

Also, all the windows I have open are displayed in the bottom panel. I would like it to be like it was before where only wi [03:02] ndows open in the current workspace are displayed in the bottom panel. [03:02] I would really appreciate it if someone could help me get devilspie to actually open windows in a different workspace/viewport [03:02] ok, mJayk gnome-panel installed, I'm going to log out [03:02] fluvvell, the two checkboxes? Yes [03:04] burfl, in a terminal, type smbtree [03:04] !ubuntu cn [03:04] Perfect!!!! mJayk !!! [03:04] n-iCe: any luck [03:04] fluvvell, k gimme one sec I'm running back and forth between the two machines [03:04] !cn [03:04] 如欲獲得中文的協助，請輸入 /join #ubuntu-cn 或 /join #ubuntu-tw [03:04] yeah, is awesome now, just like I remember :))) and RAM is about 400MB and not 1GB+ [03:04] n-iCe: good :D ive installed so many desktops I thought they came by default with ubuntu 2-d [03:04] Damn gnome3 and unity [03:04] :p [03:05] n-iCe: happy happy time [03:05] fluvvell, that's very interesting... the linux box seems to see the Windows box [03:05] somehow system monitor still says 3.0+ gnome [03:05] it's listed after that "smbtree" command [03:05] n-iCe: sometimes u still get that when you install a new desktop that doesnt replace the enviroment [03:06] i.e. i think it would fix that if u booted and installed the kde desktop [03:06] but u dont want to do that === jeff_ is now known as Guest38385 [03:06] Can't add new itmes to the bars [03:08] hello i'm back [03:08] & booted into windows7 [03:08] n-iCe: which bars [03:08] nydel: haya [03:08] n-iCe: hold shift or alt, it was one of those [03:08] Also, when I click the workspace switcher in the lower right to change workspaces, it goes to a desktop with no panels and lags for a long time,. [03:08] nydel: check out this page https://help.ubuntu.com/community/Boot-Repair [03:09] alt+right clic it says http://www.omgubuntu.co.uk/2012/03/gnome-classic-in-ubuntu-12-04-its-like-nothing-ever-changed n-iCe [03:09] patrickkay, i'm headed there now, thank you verily [03:09] nydel, i've used it before but not with a wubi installation [03:10] xangua: awesome, you are right! [03:10] nydel: patrickkay i dont think its the same [03:10] burfl, have you rebooted the windows box, and are they on the same workgroup? [03:10] patrickkay, at this point i'm not very scared of anything ... how i got here is, [03:10] burfl, and has the windows box got a firewall running? [03:10] mJayk: may not be, true [03:10] nydel: in wubi i think u need to replace the wubildr in c:\wubi [03:11] patrickkay: im not 100% sure if its the same or not i just dont think it is :) [03:11] patrickkay, mJayk, perhaps an upgrade was interrupted, the end result being i had either no working kernel or broken symbolic links in my root directory (of wubi loop) .. dpkg was messed up, initramfs was where it would hang, trying to generate the initrd files in /boot [03:12] fluvvell, I have rebooted it multiple times. I *think* they are on the same workgroup. I mean they both have the same workgroup name listed. I never had to enter any passwords or anything. Honestly, I'm not sure if there's a firewall on the Windows machine because it's blasted W8 and I don't know where to find it haha [03:12] mJayk: well I'll defer, I'm not that experienced with this [03:12] now all is awesome! [03:12] thank you guys [03:12] mJayk, where can i findn the correct wubildr? [03:12] nydel: if that was the case wudnt grub still show up and crash after you select an option [03:12] burfl, with w8, you need to turn off homegroups [03:13] mJayk: xangua http://img826.imageshack.us/img826/4305/screenshotfrom201303042.png [03:13] nydel: depends on what version of ubuntu you had [03:13] Now looks neat, clean and smooth [03:13] fluvvell, I have homegroups disabled [03:13] and I just disabled the firewall. [03:13] nydel: usually a few repos around with them if u tell me I can have a look [03:13] n-iCe: nice :) [03:13] fluvvell, should I reboot after that? [03:13] mJayk, you would think, but instead the bootloader would show up but ubuntu option would stick. one day i booted into windows, it updated & rebooted, somehow auto it booted into ubuntu running kernel 3.5.0.20 -- i noticed that there was no 3.5.0.20 in /boot though [03:14] burfl, yup [03:14] nydel: but now grub doesnt show up atall ? [03:14] mJayk, i moved so many things and did so many operations trying to get a working kernel & link thereto that by the time i had the balls to reboot, i had installed grub2 which i now realize was a mistake [03:14] now it boots directly into windows with no menu [03:15] ok [03:15] hmm, quite. well just FYI, im here ot help, so anyone asking a question, im here to "attempt" to help as best i can :) [03:15] the menu i had was the white on black two-item list with Ubuntu on top -- i remember that it was from windows that i changed the boot order [03:15] nydel: so point 1 u may have buuggered up ur linux install via kernal buggering [03:15] fluvvell, okay then I'll be back, I'm actually speaking to you on the windows box. [03:15] nydel: but i still think that the first thing to do is get grub back which I dont think was caused by the kernal buggering [03:16] mJayk, yes but there is a good kernel on the loop somewhere, i think that the initrd ln -s is pointing to it at the moment too [03:16] um. i dontknow where you are on your troubleshooting mjayk, but have you issued the sudo update-grub2 command to fix grub menu not showing before boot? [03:16] Anyone on my issue? [03:17] so how, from windows7 perhaps, can i get that good old boot menu back? [03:17] nightdemon666: will that work with a wubi install ? I was going to suggest replacing the wubildr [03:17] p014k, what is your issue, i just got here... [03:17] i want to avoid moving c:\ubuntu, installing wubi, then moving c:\ubuntu-copy back [03:18] though i believe that would be a possible solution [03:18] fluvvell, back, not working :( [03:18] nydel: yea u dont want to do that afaik -- the wubibldr file is basically just the grub cfg file but for wubi [03:18] I recently updated from 10.04 to 12.10. I'm running classic mode, because I prefer it. I'm having a problem with the workspaces. I have a 3x3 grid set up, however in the workspace preview matrix in the lower right panel, the previews of what windows are in which workspaces don't show up (only the upper right workspace is populated). Also, all the windows I have open are displayed in the bottom panel. I would like it to be like it was before where only wi [03:18] ndows open in the current workspace are displayed in the bottom panel. [03:18] Also, when I click the workspace switcher in the lower right to change workspaces, it goes to a desktop with no panels and lags for a long time,. [03:19] burfl, w8 really sux I'm sorry, brb [03:19] nydel: if u install grub 2 or grub over the top it overwrites the "wubi grub" but doent see any other os's because ubuntu is inside windows so just boots straight to windows [03:19] ok this is really weird. I'm running ubuntu 12.04 and I was tryying to drag and drop xbmc into my unity bar and now I have a space inbetween apps. please [03:19] fluvvell, take your time, I appreciate any help you can offer. I'll brb as well [03:19] help [03:20] burfl: i emphasise with your samba problems :) [03:21] epmathise ? [03:21] cant even spell it >( [03:21] heh [03:21] I am looking for suggestions on ways to back up and restore my entire ubuntu installation. [03:21] gosh p014k, from the sounds of it, you are still operating in the gnome 2.X GUI, is this correct? [03:22] PlastikSpork: .iso ur hdd [03:22] PlastikSpork: You could make a disk image [03:22] PlastikSpork: Also, if reinstalling make a separate partition for your /home and another for /. [03:22] !backup [03:22] There are many ways to back your system up. Here's a few: https://help.ubuntu.com/community/BackupYourSystem , https://help.ubuntu.com/community/DuplicityBackupHowto , https://wiki.ubuntu.com/HomeUserBackup , https://help.ubuntu.com/community/MondoMindi - See also !sbackup and !cloning [03:22] Yes I would like to make a disk image and back it up on a network drive and then if I mess up my ubuntu installation I can restore that image [03:23] clonezilla can do that [03:24] PlastikSpork: you can go on a livecd and run "dd if=/dev/sda of=/path/to/server.img" [03:24] Since all of my data (pictures, movies, etc) will be stored on a server an entire disc image would work the best... dr_willis I am downloading clonezilla now [03:24] mJayk, i have a copy of the wubildr file that i made before i started all this. where does it go? [03:24] mJayk, or is placement of that not enough [03:24] PlastikSpork: that will clone the entire disk and will only work for that specific disk [03:24] Degru: dd sounds to complicated [03:24] nightdemon666: I don't think I am. I know GNOME classic in 12.10 tries to make it appear like the old-style, but I have Unity too, so it's 3.0, no? [03:24] nydel: i think a replacement is enough [03:24] nydel: are you in windows ? if so go to C:\wubi [03:25] Degru I am downloading clonezilla... what are your thoughts on this program? [03:25] PlastikSpork: It's actually pretty simple. if is the in-file, or the device/file you're copying from. /dev/sda is your first internal drive. of is out-file, or the device or file you're copying to. [03:25] c:\ubuntu [03:25] PlastikSpork: I haven't used it [03:25] nydel: and find the wubildr file in there and replace it [03:25] PlastikSpork: but it seems like a good program according to most people [03:25] in c:\ubuntu\winboot there is a wubildr [03:26] Degru: dd comes on the ubuntu live cd? [03:26] nydel: I would rename that WUBILDR.BADMAN [03:26] PlastikSpork: dd comes with any decent linux livecd. [03:26] but where should i copy it? i mean, windows isn't going to read c:\ubuntu at all during bootup [03:26] nydel: and then put the otherone in there [03:26] Degru: how do you use dd? all terminal commands? [03:27] PlastikSpork: yes. "sudo dd if=/dev/sda of=/path/to/server/file.img" [03:27] nevermind I fixed it. We are good [03:27] yeah it wqould be, im just kinda confiused that your workspace switcher is on the botom right hand screen, isnt that what you said p014k? [03:27] PlastikSpork: simplest way imo [03:27] Degru: will that work completley from start to finish ? [03:27] ok i renamed it to wubildr.badman.lol & copied a known-working one in its place [03:28] nydel: REBOOT -> CHEER -> WIN! [03:28] nydel: hopfully [03:28] but mJayk why would the windows boot know to look in c:\ubuntu\winboot at all? [03:28] i haven't told anything to do that yet [03:28] Degru if=/dev/sda is the hard drive that ubuntu is installed onto? === Sickki_ is now known as Sickki [03:28] mJayk: It won't show progress, but if you leave it to run it will make an exact clone of the entire drive into the out-file. It will only work with that specific HDD, though. [03:28] fluvvell, I'm back fyi [03:28] PlastikSpork: Is Ubuntu taking up the whole harddrive or is it dual-boot? [03:29] Degru: thanks for that so much simpler than my previous methods [03:29] Ubuntu is only OS no dual boot [03:29] nydel: I dont fully understand how wubi is able to work the way it does tbh [03:29] oh yeah, degru, so it turns out in order for me to perform secure user switching it requires me to lock screen frm the keyboard short cut made for /usr/bin/xscreensaver-command 0-lock. then i can switch users securely.. like win 7. but now im on the quest to removing the switch user option from the unity menu :) === Tabstar is now known as Tabmow [03:30] Degru: Ubuntu is only OS no dual boot [03:30] PlastikSpork: THen it should work fine. Remember it will only work on that specific HDD. You can restore it with "dd if=/path/to/server/file.img of=/dev/sda" [03:30] nightdemon666: why would you want to remove it ? [03:30] PlastikSpork: It doesn't show progress, though. [03:31] because of the insecurity of both an admin, and standard user being logged in doest require a password from unity's "switch user" option. [03:31] nightdemon666: Ya. That's where it usually always was in classic. [03:31] Degru: how can you tell its done then if it doesnt show progress? [03:31] PlastikSpork: look in your disk manager to see which /dev/sdX device is your mUbuntu HDD. [03:31] PlastikSpork: THe command should show how much it's copied once finished and give you the terminal prompt. [03:31] nightdemon666: so if me (admin) logs in switch user to Wife (obviously not an admin) she can access admin privs ? [03:32] anyone know if a MicroATX mobo will fit in an ATX case? [03:32] Degru: yes my hard drive is /dev/sda [03:32] xiox_, yes, normally [03:32] excellent [03:32] i scoped out a new PC for $180 [03:33] xiox_: = mr burns ? [03:33] PlastikSpork: This is not the safest method, though, because when restoring if you type the wrong device it will overwrite any data on the drive. [03:33] nice [03:33] seems so mjayk... but it seems only if you have removed gnome-screensaver, and replaced with xscreensaver, unless i changed somehting that i no longer know how that affected "switch user" [03:33] no mr burns is a cartoon [03:33] i am a person [03:33] this is a little of topic, but does anyone know any ways of overlaying black semi-transparent on a screen (want it darker than my backlight permits, eyes are burning)? - linux [03:33] of high caliber mind you [03:33] xiox_: good to hear it [03:33] nightdemon666: ah never knew that [03:34] Degru: So if I plug in an external USB HDD and copy image to it with DD I can restore from that external HDD... being careful not to overwrite my external HDD [03:34] DontGotNoProxy, Redshift or f.lux [03:34] DontGotNoProxy: Try f.lux. stereopsis.com/flux [03:34] i do all the time. i log in as standard user, then when i need to, i log in to admin user... well thing is, if im logged in as a standard user, then select "swicth user" from unity menue, i go straight to admin user if admin user is already logged in. no pasword needed! :( [03:34] mJayk, this guide seems apropos http://www.howtogeek.com/howto/20340/how-to-restore-the-wubi-ubuntu-bootloader/ [03:35] "But, at 9PM, 10PM, or 3AM, you probably shouldn't be looking at the sun. " haha [03:35] PlastikSpork: yes. Just switch around the stuff for if and of [03:35] mJayk, however the software, EasyBCD is not free, are you aware of an equivalent thing? i tried installing lilo using chroot from a ubuntu boot-thumb but had no luck [03:35] so, its convenient to be able to do that sometimes, but from a security stand point, bad ju ju. so im thinking i should get rid of the swich user option all together unless called out when screen is locked in xscreensaver [03:35] Degru: There is no way of doing this natively in ubuntu without booting form live cd? [03:36] nydel: that should work but u can bugger alot of stuff up because you wont be fixing the problem just creating a new mbr [03:36] PlastikSpork: It's cloning your entire drive, so it might break something if it's mounted and the system is running from it. [03:36] nightdemon666: sounds to me like an xscreensaver problem tbh [03:36] PlastikSpork: clonezilla is probably better if you don't want to screw stuff up [03:37] Degru: no1 wants to screw stuff up [03:37] mJayk, do you think if i move my c:\ubuntu, reinstall wubi, then replace the root.disk in the new c:\ubuntu that i will get the old bootmenu back? (assume for a moment that my root.disk works) [03:37] Degru: Gotcha... I'm just used to using Windows backup... it backs everything up and makes a disk image weekly automatically... I m going to miss that :-( [03:37] mJayk: of course. just saying that if you type something wrong for dd it'll screw stuff up. === megabitdragon is now known as zz_megabitdragon [03:38] nydel: id cautiously say yes [03:38] Degru: just pulling you leg :) [03:40] dont thin f.lux worked properly [03:41] Nighty Night all 341 am here [03:41] mJayk, hopefully the next time you hear from me i'll be booted into wubi. after that i'm partitioning & doing a proper install [03:41] thanks for all the help [03:41] oh and goodnight then [03:41] gl [03:41] ty [03:41] :) ill wait [03:42] gogo [03:42] :) [03:42] lol gogoing [03:42] Does anyone know if it is possible to install Clonezilla natively without burning it to a live cd? === holstein_ is now known as holstein [03:42] PlastikSpork: Give Linux a chance, you will wonder how you ever lived without it. [03:43] PlastikSpork: Most people I know use Filezilla for FTP. [03:43] rypervenche: I've been trying to use linux for going on 12 years now.... I just keep going back to windows... 12 years a go it was a night mare... its getting muuuuuuuuch better though [03:43] rypervenche: I dont think hes ftping [03:43] agreed mjayk. ubuntu developers didnt accomodate for xscreensaver.. i did however write a shell script and thought that gnome-screensaver-command coud be symlinked to the shell script command, but no worky. the symlink worked fine when executed, but i cant seem to find the connection between "lock screen" on unity menu and a file associated with the function :/ [03:43] Oh... [03:44] PlastikSpork: I have not used Windows in about 6 years [03:44] I remember my laptop using Windows Vista I did not even boot it up, used a cd to install linux. [03:44] p014k, i guess i never really could help you with your problem. it sounds like you are having issues with your desktop environment. it also sounds like an distro upgrade problem. i never perform a distro up grade if i can help it :P [03:44] no regrets [03:44] nightdemon666: thats bloody strange ...there are no obvious links [03:44] rypervenche: Clonezilla... not filezilla [03:44] but i would have to trouble shoot the issue if i was you [03:44] I have not used Windows in almost 4 and I'm proud as hell of my decision. =) [03:44] n-iCe: No regrets indeed. *highfive* [03:45] n-iCe: 6 years and still the same DE ? :D [03:45] no htere isnt mjayk. i looked in gconf-editor and dconf-editor and i didnt see any obvious links. [03:45] hi guys, is it possible to trim down a running Ubuntu 12.04 to a minimal version? I see I have ubuntu-standard and ubuntu-mininal packages, not sure if its related [03:45] n-iCe: I'm just used to Windows and when I try to do the same advance things with Linux there is so a difference and learning curve that I get frustrated. [03:45] lol, agreed to that ivotkl [03:46] nightdemon666: I assumed you had looked it is strange though going tokeep me up [03:46] PlastikSpork: Ah. Well on Linux, you don't make a CD of your backup. You can use sftp, rdiff-backup, or rsnapshot to do the job. I keep 30 backups of my laptop on two external hard drives, all of which are encrypted. [03:46] it kept me up till 1 am last night mjayk [03:47] fluvvell, sorry if you were trying to talk to me, I had to relog my win account and didn't realize it killed the IRC [03:47] rypervenche: I don't want to make a cd of backup I want to store it on my server [03:47] PlastikSpork: man rsync [03:47] burfl, no problem [03:47] PlastikSpork: i think by cd he ment .iso [03:47] nightdemon666: Ya. I'm in the same mindset, but I really didn't want to do a clean install this time. I may just be annoyed for a week or two and then do it. [03:47] just an anouncement, i have been using linux based distributions since 2009, and i am so glad i did. not a windows hater, but i always wanted a fully customizable system with such enormous flexability. thank you richard stallman and linus torvalds!!! [03:48] PlastikSpork: Do you want to make an ISO image? [03:48] clonezilla has some neat features..that i neveruse. ;-) [03:48] PlastikSpork: Exactly. You don't need that. You can use any of the three programs that I mentioned. [03:48] cheers for that nightdemon666!!! [03:48] burfl, It seems samba is well equipped for dealing with w8 according to their website, but specifics on setup may differ depending on your network. [03:48] burfl_, can you ping the linux box by name from the w8 box? [03:48] nightdemon666: do you remember your first linux distro? [03:48] PlastikSpork: I think rsync is what you are looking for. (If you want to do the backup from the running system to another on your LAN). [03:49] fluvvell, how do I check it's name/ip? [03:49] its* [03:49] rypervenche: excellent... pretty easy to use? [03:49] burfl_, what did you call the linux box? [03:49] PlastikSpork: rsync is awesome! If you want to have many incremental backups, you can use rdiff-backup or rsnapshot. [03:49] fluvvell, it took a default name based on the CPU model... I would have to look it up [03:49] how do i check that === Tiktalikat is now known as Tiktalik [03:50] PlastikSpork: Yes, once you gen used to the syntax. If you'd like help with an exact command, send me a PM and I'll help you. [03:50] rypervenche: seems like rsync is installed already whoohoo [03:50] burfl_, at a terminal prompt, it will tell you its name ie: yourlogin@pc_name: [03:50] derp [03:50] sure. fedora 11. never frget it. i wanted to bang my head against the wall and reinstalled 8ntimes before i finally said, ok, i know what to mess with and what not too. of course we are talking about fedora after all. and i was tryingot operat it on a acer aspire one at the time, gosh what a mess. but it taught me sooooo much. i didnt do what a lot of people havedone and go ubuntu first. but i went to ubuntu for the st === Zero is now known as Guest8751 [03:50] PlastikSpork: http://www.linux.com/news/enterprise/storage/8200-back-up-like-an-expert-with-rsync [03:51] fluvell, hmmm is it case sensitive? [03:51] suse 9.0 free CD with some bad PC magazine from the doctors waiting room :D [03:51] fluvvell, sorry I misspelled your name above, is it case sensitive? [03:51] bloody hated it [03:51] now, sicne i have been operatingin that enviromnent so much for so long, i can pretty much do any linux distro. just need ot know what the package manager is, and i'll figure the rest out if its a little different. though about going BSD too, just to give it a spin. [03:52] usr13 thanks for the link [03:52] mJayk: i used to have suse, but then the package manager broke. [03:52] burfl_, yes - have you got irc on the linux box? This would be easier with xchat installed [03:52] Degru: lol ... and then the packagemanager broke [03:52] !topic [03:52] Please read the channel topic whenever you enter, as it contains important information. To view it at any time after joining, simply type /topic [03:52] fluvvell i can get it... is that simply 'apt-get install xchat'? [03:53] burfl_, yup [03:53] ok brb [03:53] fluvvell: i like irssi; it's a console program [03:53] Degru: I bloody hated it 14 years old with a white box and no internet line it was so useless [03:53] i tried suse, actually i liked it, but i was both a little inexperienced and the hardware didnt cooperate well with it, which made it worse. now i probably could make it work more easily. i know a lot more commands via terminal. [03:53] mJayk: well that package manager must've been pretty useless === Degru is now known as Degru_away [03:54] fluvvell: I agree with Degru, irssi is a good IRC client. [03:54] Degru: the Cd's that came with the mag's used to have 3 cds [03:54] Degru, good for you. I might try it too then. I've just used xchat for, oh about a decade, and forget to look for new ones.

I was switched to a guest [03:58] ty [03:58] nightdemon666: xchat initial release June 1999 [03:59] xchat is awesome [03:59] nightdemon666: irssi, January 1999 [03:59] yeah i thought it was that old lol [03:59] helloall [03:59] fluvvell, the box name is 'scotty-bunch-of-letters' === Degru_away is now known as Degru [04:00] i have a major issue [04:00] burfl, so can you ping "scotty-bunch-of-letters" from a command line on the w8 box [04:00] fluvvell, no it failed [04:00] irssi has tab key autocomplete for nicks [04:00] i used mIRC back in the 90's lol, but then i was on windows 95 [04:01] burfl, so if you go ifconfig on the linux box, and get your inet address for eth0, then ping the ip number from the w8 box, does that work? [04:01] burfl, I think you need a simpler name [04:01] burfl, for the linux box [04:01] fluvvell, command to change it? [04:01] had i known better i would have used linu then though. dont know how that would have workewd out. i would imagine it was touch to get things working back in the 90's on junk gateway computer hardware :P [04:01] burfl, and did you turn off home group? [04:01] fluvvell yes [04:02] fluvvell, btw pinging by ip works [04:02] 4 packets sent, 4 received [04:03] mir [04:04] burfl, try editing /etc/hostname and then rebooting [04:04] p014k, do you have compiz config setting manager installed?? just a suggestion that might help you troubleshoot, that it may be a compiz thing... [04:04] burfl_: no need to reboot === chicognu is now known as mr_wifi [04:05] hostname newname && hostname -f && echo newname > /etc/hostname && relogin [04:05] fluvvell, okay i'll try that one sec [04:05] hey, xxiao, what does using the & with another & mean. i know & means run in background, but how about two "&&" what does htat do??? [04:05] nightdemon666: Ya, it's installed. It may be that. I'll just do a clean install soon. [04:06] Or is there a way to reset the settings to default [04:06] p014k, it would be easier probably :P [04:06] on compiz yes [04:06] nightdemon666: it means the commands must exit 0, i.e succeeds , otherwise the following cmds will not run [04:06] can someone point me to the ubuntu devoloper channel? [04:06] dbrown: ubuntu-devel [04:07] thanks [04:07] frankly, after all those wayland/compiz/whatever/now-mir i'm thinking about debian again [04:07] oh, means, first command must run before the next one in the line xxiao? [04:07] fluvvell, I'll take this opportunity (while the nix box reboots) to thank you for donating your time to my cause. it is appreciated. you guys are unsung heroes [04:08] nightdemon666: only if the previous command runs and has no issue, then the next one will run [04:09] crap. I hit restore to defaults and instead it unchecked everything. [04:09] Now I don't know what I had... [04:09] rather, what should be checked [04:09] lol, xxiao, you know i thought very hard about going to just debian before i went ubuntu 12.04, but im actually ok with unity. im ok with it going the tablet direction, and thats ok. it isnt that bad. somethings just plain dont make sicne, like why they got rid of the desktop launcher, but very close ot just installing debian. i would have installed compiz anyway :D LOVE THEM EFFECTS! even if my netbook struggles with [04:10] fluvvell, pinging from w8 to nix now works as expected using both the ip and the box name [04:10] but the box does not appear in file explorer [04:10] burfl_, thats good news [04:10] Hello Guvnah! [04:10] i have a good idea to that p014k, if you pull up a live cd, it shows all the defaults... may take a bit but there arent oo many [04:10] burfl_, but what happens if you use \\box-name\ in the address bar of the file explorer [04:10] thats what i do when i muck stuff up... just run a live image and clone settings. [04:11] How Would I Go Upon Closing A Non Responsive App? [04:11] fluvvell, you're genius... [04:11] you can break a live image all day long lol [04:11] I want to change permission of one of my root folder in such a way so that Current login user can write the file in that folder ,Not All(like Guest).Which command i should try? [04:11] is it normal in Ubuntu to need to be root to create folders in an encrypted (with Truecrypt) external HDD ? [04:11] yopu ned to put thatuser in the correct group alen [04:12] burfl_, its been suggested before... ;-) [04:12] fluvvell, I cannot understand why network discovery didn't work on it's own, but I just created two folders remotely, so I think we might be good [04:12] the genius bit lol [04:12] yes giiker, you are performing admin task. root "should" be required for admin tasks like drive encryption [04:12] fluvvell, rightly earned, thanks again for your time [04:12] burfl_, yeah the search stuff- not so good. the name based should be fine [04:13] burfl_, no prob [04:13] is ubuntu seriously moving away from compiz? === ping__ is now known as rhyda [04:13] i'M NOT GETTING THE REGISTERING RIGHT , SOS [04:14] nightdemon666:Folder only root can change.please describe more. [04:15] alen, try sudo chown root:currentusername /path/to/file and then perform a chmod u=rwx,g=rwx,o-rwx /path/to/file [04:15] How Would I Go Upon Closing A Non Responsive App? [04:15] nightdemon666:Thanks. [04:16] Right-Clicking And Selecting Quit, Not Working. [04:16] ghost562, perform a sudo kill (pid) [04:16] nightdemon666, will try. [04:16] is alen pope in here? [04:16] or sudo kill -9 (pid) run top to see program name thats being a butt :P [04:16] pid! [04:17] which program is it ghost? [04:17] video player. [04:17] movie player, sorry [04:17] which one. vlc? [04:17] or totem? [04:17] the default ubuntu one [04:17] yeah, you can do a killall totem in your user name in the command line\ [04:18] ok, so === rhyda is now known as rhyda-kumisan [04:18] sudo killall totem(addusernamehere)? [04:18] hey [04:18] you dont need root if you ran the program. i advise root user to NOT be used when you can get away with it. [04:18] how do I list ejabberd registered users? [04:18] no ghost, just killall totem, your user account ran the program [04:19] thank you Ubuntu i love you [04:19] ok [04:19] let me know if that did the trick ghost562 :) [04:20] nightdemon666, just typed it killall totem, that closed it, thanks :D [04:20] :) [04:20] in [04:21] you only need leading sudo command if root owns that program. you can see that in top when you type it. you can see who is running that app. [04:21] you can also type top | grep totem, and it will show onlt that line as well :) [04:21] i need major help [04:21] anyone here [04:22] yes [04:22] ajx, whats up? [04:22] do you know how to solve the gnu grub screen [04:22] i starded it up [04:22] it depends onwhat you want out of it [04:22] im using dual boot [04:22] i says i cant load kernal [04:22] i looked up like 10 tutorials [04:23] i have very valuable documents on that side [04:23] nightdemon666, awesome thanks for the help [04:23] :D [04:23] anyone set up a wireless hp printer before with ubuntu 12.04 ? [04:23] cause i could use some help on how [04:23] can anyone helop me [04:23] no one [04:23] :( [04:23] nightdemon666: even with truecrypt? [04:23] wirelessly that is [04:24] i would imagine so giiker, you are doing something to a harddrive.. ususally calls out for root to do that. [04:24] nightdemon666: makes sense to me, thanks for the explanation [04:25] thats a new one on me ajx1999 [04:25] let me think... [04:26] does it take you to busybox ajx1999 [04:26] and, you have a link to one of those tutorials? [04:27] ajx1999, just post your question, and if someone has the answer, they will help [04:27] I want to ssh to my computer at my lab I have this info jalal@dfyhs5l1:~/cuda/rodinia_2.2/cuda/nw$ hpcstruct ./needle ( is jalal@dfyhs5l1 my username?) [04:27] jeremy3d, post away. [04:28] you might be able to fix running sudo fsck /dev/(sda1 or sda2 or sda3 or what ever it is you have linux installed on) [04:28] ghost562, i'm researching now to see where to begin. i was able to run disc that came with printer and set up computer with win7 easily. mac air was a bit trickier cause i just had to hook up usb and then download drivers from hp site. [04:28] i think the user name is jalal elisa [04:28] i'm supposing i have to do the same thing as the mac for ubuntu, via usb cable. printer is on other side of room and hoping to get it to talk via wifi [04:29] anyone use FDE and dualboot to windows on the same disk? === Lutzee is now known as Guest63404 === rhyda-kumisan is now known as klo [04:29] is it possible? wouldn't FDE not work for windows partition, ps FDE is full disk encryption [04:29] um, you should be able ot do both dumont [04:29] jeremy3d, printer offers wireless capabilities? [04:29] printer has built in wifi yes [04:29] Jeremy3D: is your printer already sync with your wifi¿ [04:29] nightdemon666 won't ubuntu software FDE encrypt the whole disk, not just a whole partition? [04:30] jeremy3d, did you look to see if there were wireless drivers on hp site??? [04:30] yea win7 comp and osx comp are both working right now [04:30] linux drivers, sorry not wireless [04:30] nightdemon666, getting directed here - http://hplipopensource.com/hplip-web/index.html? reading up on it now [04:30] and since the disk contains windows partition, and windows cannot decrypt ubuntu software FDE, then windows won't dualboot [04:31] HPLIP Toolbox in software center. that might be all i need [04:31] ok, so... the scoop is, GRUB should be calling out the boot sequence. soooo, you should be able to boot windows or linux via grub with both disk encrypted [04:32] jeremy3d, does the linux generic drivers not work on yur HP printer??? [04:32] elisa87: your username should be jalal [04:32] nightdemon666, i guess what i'm looking for is the hp utility to find and print wirelessly. havent hooked up usb yet cause printer on other side of the room === klo is now known as tukang-cukur-nai [04:33] elisa87: whatever is after @ is the server followed by the path to a folder to that server [04:33] screw usb jeremy, go wireless... thats hwat you baught it for. i have a brother printer works great and wireless :) [04:33] i second what giiker says again. i run ssh all day long :) [04:34] right nightdemon666 but i think i gotta go usb temporarily to get it installed correctly. then i can go wifi. this tool i got off software center seems to know whats up === tukang-cukur-nai is now known as tukang-sapu [04:34] jeremy3d, i think thats all you need, once you install the utitilty, hook up via usb, it install driver, then you can remove usb, and hook up via wifi [04:34] i see, if it work, it works, and thats half the battle.. GI JOE! [04:35] nice one demon :D [04:35] has anyone ever used Irssi and CenterIM, which is one is better, customization wise? [04:35] can someone recommend a good way to connect to a https server with login and password? [04:35] lol [04:35] on ubuntu [04:35] john38: firefox [04:35] http://(https ip addrss) [04:35] ghost562, i think you're correct. will know shortly. thanks for the help, you too nightdemon666 [04:35] oops [04:36] stupid me [04:36] I would only use HTTPS john38 :-) [04:36] jeremy3d, no problem, thats what we are here for. [04:36] nightdemon666 so who's doing the disk decryption... when booting into windows?? [04:36] I am using kde, whenever I shutdown, the gnome desktop comes up for 1-2 seconds, does the gnome desktop keep running behind kde ? [04:37] giiker [04:37] silv3r_m00n: how do you know it's gnome [04:37] whats the secret dumont? [04:37] nightdemon666: yeaah? [04:37] silv3r_m00n why not install kubuntu? [04:37] i think dumont has some info for you gikker [04:37] giiker [04:37] dumont: kernel is [04:38] me spell bad lol [04:38] Ben64: the gnome icons and all come up, it's the same thing that comes up when logging in to a gnome session [04:38] giiker.... IN WINDOWS! [04:38] Ben64, well the problem is that this is a finance institution site with login and pass thats usually uses a program to connect [04:38] giiker, well the problem is that this is a finance institution site with login and pass thats usually uses a program to connect [04:38] dumont: same thing [04:38] dumont: i installed ubuntu long back and then installed kubuntu from synaptic too, its continuing since then [04:38] nightdemon666, well the problem is that this is a finance institution site with login and pass thats usually uses a program to connect [04:39] under windows [04:39] giiker how is ubunut's kernel decrypting the disk when booting and physically running windows? [04:40] anybody help me? [04:40] john38, i could see problems with that on ubuntu... if that software isnt supoported on linux, you may have problems :( however, it may be possible to run wine, there may be a linux evrsion of the software, or you can run windows form a VM [04:40] Hey [04:40] nightdemon666, oh [04:40] Where is the best place to get help with bash script [04:41] that program is likely a browser plugin of somesort right? john38 [04:41] Have to go guys. See you later. =) [04:41] dumont: can you elaborate again pls? [04:41] nightdemon666, well its a small client that you install on windows with login pass prompt [04:41] dumont: can you ask your question again, I dont want to Pageup to find it [04:42] john38: can't you just go to the website [04:42] nightdemon666, i thought i could do that with remote desktop [04:42] Ben64, i tried wont go in [04:42] john38: you can try wine, or ask them for a linux application... [04:42] what kind of silly bank need to run a program to do online banking [04:43] yeah, seen that before with a home camera set up too... no linux support with that. if you absolutely HAD to access that site from linux you need ot run a vm with windos on it, if you have the resources [04:43] lots of banks use browser specific plug ins .. [04:43] john38: what bank/website is it? [04:43] Ben64, the client is called Encompass360 [04:44] john38: how did it work in wine? [04:44] holstein, havent tried yet [04:45] john38: I owuld suggest nightdemon666's, run it in a VM if you have good amount of RAM and good CPU, just suspend it when you don't need to run it. [04:45] screw wine.. my opinion [04:45] giiker, the disk contains a windows and an ubuntu system. I want to use software full disk encryption. is it possible or not? [04:45] nightdemon666: i agree, but they are likely not going to give john38 a naitive client.. though it should be requested [04:46] 2 problems: 1. windows doesn't know how to decrypt data encrypted via ubuntu FDE. 2. does FDE encrypt the disk or partition? [04:46] agreed, maybe prmote more linux support :) [04:46] why run wine, which sometimes is very good really, when you can have everything in a VM? [04:47] wine doesn't require a windows license [04:47] dumont: do you have separate paritions on Ubuntu? [04:47] why does that matter? [04:48] soo, i would imagin that the disk encryption needs to stay on the separate partitions and invoked per OS. truecrypt for windows run from windows to ecrypt the partition, (might cause issues) then truecrypt for linux run in ubuntu [04:48] is there any ubuntu software that enables login pass entry to https [04:49] john38: i don't think you're going to get what you want here [04:49] dumont: ok, let see what I get from your question, You have a disk with an NTFS and an EXT3/4 parition, right? and you want to encrypt both paritions? [04:49] john38: and the answer to that is "firefox" [04:49] Ben64, ok [04:49] how do I display dmesg | tail at regular update intervals ? [04:49] john38, i think its really due to browse plugin. if its not supported for linux i'd use a VM for now, but do ask for a linux app to see if its supoported. dont be down on your luck if its not [04:50] nightdemon666, cool [04:50] thats a good question one [04:50] Ubuntu: How do I display dmesg | tail at regular update intervals ? [04:50] !patience | one [04:50] one: Don't feel ignored and repeat your question quickly; if nobody knows your answer, nobody will answer you. While you wait, try searching https://help.ubuntu.com or http://ubuntuforums.org or http://askubuntu.com/ [04:50] Ben64: good reason, but I still have my XP disc laying around in the dust, since I switched ti Linux completley :-) [04:50] you may need ot run another output program one [04:51] dmesg | tail | (someother program) [04:51] giiker I guess that depends if FDE can encrypt only 1 partition. === lutzeee is now known as Guest55774 [04:51] john38: if you are using ann app from a finance institution, they might have some real reasons for you to only use that program also [04:51] giiker, i think truecrypt can encrypt partition or disk :) but i would nOT encrypt a whole disk if you have another OS on it [04:52] especially if windows didnt see it coming. i would run encryption software per OS [04:53] nightdemon666, is it possible to set up encryption per disk and have another disk on the machine without it? [04:54] startuing with windows of course, it case it screws something up. probablyt best to have started out with gparted to allocate the space for ubuntu ahead of time. run partition encryption from windows, make sure its working, then uinstall ubuntu, and run partition encryption on the ubuntu side. that should have both partitions encrypted and both os geared to decrypt :) [04:55] oh i bet nimble... probably the easier way actually [04:55] hmm [04:55] I have a computer where I might put windows and ubuntu on separate disks [04:55] so I'm thinking about it [04:55] do it [04:56] id say encrypt them both though, but do understand that you have to ask your self, what you are encrypting it for... [04:56] nightdemon666: nope at all, after so many tries, encryptions, keys, pssphrases I have decided to keep windows partitions alone, even though I can use Truecrypt on it, encrypt my /home in linux and have 3 full force encrypted redundant backups-1. local (external drive) 2. my parent's house 3. cloud? I haven't decied yet on the cloud option yet [04:57] nightdemon666: I make backups of my encrypted /home to the other redundant ones :-; [04:57] safe choice giiker, screwing with windows partition can f it all up\ [04:57] all encrypted giiker? even the back ups? [04:57] nightdemon666: yeap, that's how i learned... [04:58] nightdemon666, I don't feel like using truecrypt for it [04:58] the situation is even more complicated when doing it on SSD [04:58] I could do it with bitlocker though [04:58] because SSD automatically reallocates blocks during cleaning [04:58] hay all... are 13.04 support until 18 mounth only? === ubuntu is now known as Guest10621 [04:59] Alakullihal, correct [04:59] nightdemon666: yeap, I keep only very often used files unencrypted on my system and that's it, but try to do incremental backups not to have too much date unencrypted [04:59] so honestly i havent gone in and performed disk encryptin except for my admin home folder in ubutnu 12.04. i realize now i should though. all too late.. i can choose ot encrypt when ever i want to right??? [05:00] why? it LTS? [05:00] Alakullihal, LTS support is 36 months ... [05:00] Long Term Support [05:00] !LTS|Alakullihal, [05:00] Alakullihal,: 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) [05:01] so for 13.04 why 18 mounth only? [05:01] nightdemon666: yeap, you can encrypt later on, but I think it ś safer to do everything from the beginning, since when you change to encrypted partitions, you might run into some problems, at least that's what I heard [05:02] Alakullihal, ALL non-LTS releases are 18 month support. this is business as usual. [05:02] giiker, i can choose to encrypt when ever i want, even if i installed ubuntu with out encryption right? and truecrypt is best option? ive been reading up on this lately [05:02] Alakullihal, 13.04 will NOT be an LTS release. [05:02] Alakullihal: normal releases are, 13.04 is not LTS, for more /join #ubuntu+1 [05:02] my Ubuntu box went to sleep while xferring large files... any way to stop this from happening? [05:02] oh. 13.04 non-LTS... [05:02] i was afraid of that giiker :/ they should really have that option in the installer [05:02] nightdemon666: yes you can encrypt later [05:03] truecrypt is what you use too right giiker? [05:03] a clarification: i was transferring files *to* the Ubuntu box [05:03] nightdemon666: I have been using truecrypt for the last 8 years I think, and as long as you keep you keys and passphrases in safe places you are good to go [05:03] nightdemon666: I use TC, yeap [05:03] oh ok, so truecrypt is badass software.. cool. i will keep that in mind :) [05:04] it does take up some additional space thoug doesnt it giiker [05:04] nightdemon666: Truecrypt is so good, that I read a benchmark of a guy that after encrypting his hard drive, windows run much fater on it, I don know if the same was on Linux though [05:05] nightdemon666: what do you mean extra space? [05:05] Alakullihal: you might find some useful info here ... https://wiki.ubuntu.com/Releases [05:05] I think it would be nice if ubuntu by rolling release [05:06] this box is intended to be a home server, how can i stop it from going to sleep? [05:07] i mean causes there ito ultimately be more space comsumed on hard drive because data is encrypted.. true giiker? [05:07] nightdemon666: I never read or heard that. where did you get this? [05:09] an article i happened to brush by on my phone. dont recall exact artical.. so you are saying that x amount of datat encrypted or not is still the same x amount of data. it doesnt cause file size ot get larger or anything? [05:10] I have a 3TB WD Internal Hard Drive, That I'm running into problems with, I've tried parted, & Gparted and I keep running into the same Error, "Attempt to read block from filesystem resulted in short read while creating root dir" Any Ideas? Its a brand New Hard Drive, I've tried replacing the SATA Cable, Changing the Position of the Cable & all, The Motherboard is Brand New [05:11] burfl, so i think i remember this being an issue.. i suppose you didnt replace gnome screensaver with xscreensaver, so default screen saver (blank) is set up, and you went in the power setings and turned the sleep off correct? [05:12] blackweb, have you formatted it? [05:12] How bout that dmesg | tail question? [05:12] nightdemon666: I might have to say here I don know as a matter of fact, but I ḿ going to check my disk to see how much space is left, jejeje! [05:12] ya trying to format it now, & it keeps erroring out, [05:12] it would be nice ot know giiker :) [05:12] let me now what you find [05:12] Input Or Output error [05:13] since its over 2Tb I'm using parted & gpt as the Partition table [05:13] ok... i can probably help with this one... had same issue with seagate... [05:14] blackweb, do you have access to a windows runnign comoputer and admid right? [05:14] rights? [05:14] But ya everytime I try to make a partition on it then it gives me a error, Input / Output Error if I use parted or "Attempt to read block from filesystem resulted in short read while creating root dir" If I use mkfs.ext3, Right now then I'm gonna try installing Windows 7 on it now [05:15] Last time I tried it gave me a error also, Which I googled and someone said to try & replace SATA Cable so trying that now, [05:16] Does anybody know? This seems like it should be simple. I need to stop my ubuntu machine from going to sleep due to inactivity [05:16] burfl_: system settings > power ? [05:16] burfl, if you search Power [05:16] suspend when inactive for [05:16] crizis Yea I set those [05:17] no change [05:17] do I need to reboot to take effect? [05:17] yeah blackweb, i suggest insatll to windows. reformat in windows, and format to RAW [05:17] not afaik.. could at least try logout/login but dno [05:17] then install to ubutnu, and run gparted and format to what ever you want [05:18] still looking one... [05:18] Would anyone happen to know why adding the following line to my sources.list is not working for Ubuntu 10.04? deb http://apt.postgresql.org/pub/repos/apt/ lucid main [05:18] alright, ya the crazy thing is i built another server, Same MOBD, & Hard Drive & No problems, But this ones been giving me hell [05:19] nightdemon666: ok, I just copied a file of 200 MB to my truecrypt partition and there is no takeup of space [05:19] According to the postgres docs that's what it should look like, but I get: W: Failed to fetch http://apt.postgresql.org/pub/repos/apt/dists/lucid/main/binary-amd64/Packages.gz 404 Not Found [IP: 2001:4800:7903:1::133 80] [05:19] so, file size doesnt grow.. good to know giiker. thanks :) [05:20] means that server is down jstrong [05:21] what happens is that the url is: http://apt.postgresql.org/pub/repos/apt/dists/lucid-pgdg/ [05:21] so they're using a non-standard format. [05:22] nightdemon666: not so fast, though there is some take up of space at the start of the encryption [05:24] crizis, thanks.. I think the problem was actually faulty wiring. It just powered off very suddenly while I was watching it. When powered back up there were "lines" scanning down the monitor. I plugged both into a different outlet and it seems to be okay atm [05:24] :O [05:24] maybe a bad breaker.. who knows [05:25] so, ONE i found a way to kinda do it, and you may tweak you your liking... run cmmand watch --differences dmesg | tail [05:25] nightdemon666: I see about 187 MB used before adding/creating any files or folders, they must be related to keys or parts of truecrypt for the encryption to take place [05:26] nightdemon666: after that i did not see any increase :-) [05:26] SELinux is preventing wine-preloader from mmap_zero access on the memprotect .

[05:26] i have a t4b drive so more consumption was a concern. thank you giiker. it was bad enough it took over 200GB away just to format it ext4! :( [05:27] Hi everyone. So... I have an intermittent problem where my laptop freezes up randomly. I haven't filed a bug report because I wouldn't know what to put, but... This time, it locked up and I can still ssh into the box! This doesn't usually happen (usually networking goes down with the system too) so I was windering if there was anything I might be able to do to check out what's causing the hangs. [05:27] um run dmesg when ytou ssh into the box [05:28] nightdemon666: you must have either huge video files or you have much more data than me, I haven't reached the 4 TB size yet :-) [05:28] first guess was good :] [05:28] lol [05:29] nightdemon666: you know you can access your video files ( i don't know if encrypted though) if you change your bs? [05:29] nightdemon666: I menat, you know you can access your video files faster ( i don't know if encrypted though) if you change your bs? === chris___0076 is now known as Chris_0076 [05:29] i chopped it up into two back up drives too. 2tb for videos, 1.5 for photoback up for my wifes photography and .5 for other back up :) [05:30] bs? [05:30] sorry, dont know what bs means please explaine [05:30] *sigh* never mind I guess. Networking just went down and I didn't have time to run anything. [05:30] I really would like to find out what's causing the crashing though. [05:30] nightdemon666: byte size [05:30] maxkollide, couldnt you also ctrl+alt+F1 into vurtual terminal? [05:31] Nope, whole systems down. [05:31] hmm, not sure about that one giiker [05:31] Screen freezes, mouse and keyboard unresponsive [05:31] that may take some troble shooting during formating correct? [05:32] ok, maxkollide, do you hard shutdown or other??? [05:32] I usually just hard shutdown. I pull the battery on it. [05:32] sadface :( [05:32] There's like no other way to get it to close. [05:33] you really should perform alt+print screen key, then press while holding the other two REISUB [05:33] thats safer on hard drive and OS IMO [05:33] Wait, what? [05:33] Go over that again? [05:33] i almost NEVER hard shut down if i dont have to [05:34] Alt and print screen? [05:34] hi. how can i see in which partion grub2 is installed? [05:34] hold down alt+prt scr keys at the same time... while holding those two, press REISUB one second apart form each other... i wan tot see if the kernal is still alive [05:34] no. my mistake. in which hard drive i mean [05:35] What's REISUB? [05:35] the kesy on your keyboard. R E I S U B [05:35] Or do you mean the letters REISUB? [05:35] Oh [05:35] Okay [05:36] alt+prt scr [05:36] then [05:36] R E I S U B [05:36] one after the other one second part :) [05:36] nightdemon666: Please don't flood; use http://paste.ubuntu.com to paste; don't use Enter as punctuation. [05:36] I'll try that next time... I can probably get it to crash again soon lol [05:36] you learne d anew trick ;) [05:36] nightdemon666: when you format your drives, i did this on Winblows though, You can choose the zise of your cluster, since video files are larger in size, the larger the cluster will allowed for faster access to the video file, instead of accessing different cluster all over the HD [05:36] nightdemon666: if it is just for archiving though, default size it is ok [05:37] So if I might ask, what does this magic REISUB thing do? [05:38] that may be benefical giiker.. i have it set up as sftp access and smb access to read only for all but my admin user. may improve access speed :) i think i read about that on the webs using gparted to adjust the byte size or somehting like that [05:39] each letter stands for a command invoked by the kernal (if its still alive after crash) and soft reboots your computer forcefully and clean. better than hard shut down maxkollide [05:40] Interesting [05:40] Ok [05:41] maxkollide, if you are able to perform that command ten the kernal is still running and thats good news! at least for your hard drive and your OS. now, the next thing to do is when you reboot back in, go through your dmesg logs [05:41] nightdemon666: yeah you can find more info about cluster size increase in video forums... [05:41] Can anyone tell me if there's anything wrong with this query? http://pastebin.com/ZT1CurRL I'm getting "Unknown column 'changes.conf_num' in 'on clause'" even though this column does exist. [05:41] ls /var/log/ | grep dmesg [05:42] then you can all your dmesg logs and go through them one by one. cat /var/log/dmesg.0 [05:43] you can also look up specifics like key words "error" or "fail" these words hopefully giving you the clue on whats causing the fail.. which coud be a bazillion things. try cat /var/log/dmesg.0 | grep fail or error or Fail or Error... caps to matter ot grep program [05:45] giiker, the video forums would guld me to a relative number, or tell me how to figure that on my own? too bad i already exeeced my disk space beyond flushing back to other drives to format the 4tb again :P [05:46] nightdemon666: thats where i got this info from, some of those guys are into HDD optimization. look it up [05:46] night night everyone [05:47] laterz giiker [05:47] Okay so... My dmesg.0 doesn't look like it has anything interesting in it. [05:48] Closest I've even got to anything "interesting" is a message that days "init: failsafe main process (897) killed by TERM signal" [05:49] hello any solution for partitions shown twice in thunar on xubuntu quantal? [05:49] I don't know what it means but it was the most interesting message matched by Fail or fail [05:49] anything pertaining to the fail "should" be captured in that file... suckage.. thought that might lead you to the root cause... === Kasjopaja23111 is now known as Kasjopaja === atrius is now known as atrius_away [05:52] you can ssh from another machine see if you can run watch --differences dmesg | tail. this way you may catch it in the act [05:53] Maybe I can still track it down if I can ssh into the system after it goes down again. It's only a matter of time before it crashes again.

The thing is that I now need to rebuild and reinstall this software. It depends on some libraries (which will not be changed in any way) and some higher-level software depends on this library which I'm goign to reinstall. [07:27] IzzoDizzo, Guess I should feel lucky, I can install Ubuntu 12.10 without a hitch on my work laptop. nvidia 560m [07:27] yeah, i'm bothered my boss for a windows based laptop :) as this is 3 years old anyway [07:27] So when I reboot using the memory stick, just do Duel Boot? [07:27] So my question is what do I need to do to ensure that this reinstallation is correctly carried out? [07:28] Ario, when you go to install it, you can have the option to set up your partitions, or you can have Ubuntu install it alongside Windows [07:28] ario, read that page please, you'll have to resize harddisks etc, unless you are just booting a live usb and not intend on installing it to hd === Guest56745 is now known as Euamo [07:28] foo357, just do a ./configure or we the tool needs [07:28] and it'll tell you :) [07:28] Ario, read, research then choose. sounds like you want to keep windows. Dual boot is my recommendation. [07:29] IzzoDizzo: yes it's a conventional ./confidure && make && make install && (ldconfig ?) [07:29] yup [07:29] if it fails on dependencies it'll tell you [07:30] After the last security Update from Windows, my Computer is super Lagging, takes 30 Minutes to Start-up. I am wanting to tell Bill Gates what I think of Windows and leave it behind for good. Just afraid of Major Imcompatability Issues. [07:30] Ario, depends on what software you use/need [07:30] I was just wondering if I do Duel Boot, can I use my current installed Programs to see if they are Compatable? [07:31] you can't ario [07:31] Ario, such as ??? [07:31] I don't now what that means [07:31] Ario, some might work with wine, but you'll have to install them again [07:31] I know Firefox, Thunderbird, and Chrome work :) [07:31] I have Office 2010, Firefox, Sims 2 and 3 and World of Warcraft :) [07:31] heh [07:32] ario libreoffice is the linux equivalent to MS Office ...

Will I be able to Copy files from the Windows Side to the Ubunto Side for re-Installing on Ubuntu, or will I have to save them on Disk/USB first? [07:35] depends if you replace windows or not [07:35] Ario: WinSCP. [07:35] SuperLag, he's doing it on the same machine :) [07:35] ario: have you ever tried ubuntu ?

[07:36] ario, might be better to try ubuntu in like virtualbox first [07:37] SuperLag, want some cheese with your whine? [07:37] good advice [07:37] Ario: Anything is possible, but it is a good idea to make backups [07:37] kalenjohnson: ;) [07:37] That is beyond my knowledge :( [07:37] or he can try it off the USB/DVD [07:37] LiveCD! That's the word [07:37] Nvidia Quadro. Do you guys have any Quadro cards working with Ubuntu? I see very old posts about it not working, but these are from 5+ years ago [07:38] Ario: then learn, my friend [07:38] I think I will Test drive the 64Bit from the USB, if I like, then install Duel Boot. if I can transfer. then Overwrite Windows. Dose this sound too Crazy? [07:38] Ario: Linux is hard, first starting out... but it's so nice when you get comfortable with it [07:38] that sounds like a good plan Ario [07:38] Ario, stop [07:38] SuperLag, I don't have a Quadro card, but I would think they would work if the Nvidia drivers say the card is supported [07:38] try it using the live USB [07:38] Ario, if you are only testing, use Virtualbox. [07:39] he has a usb, why can't he try live usb? [07:39] Ario, then proceed as you described [07:39] I have no Idea what Virtual Box is :) [07:39] Ario, "fake" computer. you install it to windows. then you install ubuntu inside of that. [07:39] Ario: only the best program EVER! [07:39] it really is... [07:40] virtualization is awesome [07:40] my thumb drive has 16 different versions of linux and a bunch of antivirus programs [07:40] super awesome!

[07:40] I change video-card, do I must reinstall OS Ubuntu for better work? [07:40] Anyone know how to tell if anacron is running? [07:40] tata_: no, you don't have to reinstall [07:40] Ario, sort of, except instead of virtualizing a DVD, you virtualize an entire operating system [07:40] tata_, no but you do need to install and configure the new card [07:41] cfhowlett: only if modules don't load from the kernel, right? [07:41] ok, what is 1. step? [07:41] OK.Looking into it now. Thank You for your Help. I think I may be a New "Regular" here :) [07:41] ario suggest you look at some youtube videos regarding: ubuntu virtualbox [07:41] SuperLag, yes [07:41] cfhowlett: depeding on what card he put in the kernel may already have drivers for it [07:41] Ario, best of luck [07:42] Thank you all very much [07:42] Ubuntu: How do I download source as unprivldg user?

Using apt-get source "pkg" tries to unpack it and asks for dpkg-dev. [07:42] SuperLag, agreed. I prefer to do an actual installation and confiiguration to avoid the "default" kernel settings [07:42] uh oh :) [07:42] cfhowlett: what's wrong with the kernel defaults? [07:43] new card work with low quality letter [07:43] hi, how can I install sun-java6-jdk on ubuntu 11.10 server [07:43] SuperLag, didn't say "wrong" but I've found that full performance can best be gained from actually configuring the new hardware. YMMV [07:44] !java|passionke, [07:44] passionke,: To just use java you need a "Java Runtime Environment" (JRE) and/or a browser plugin. If that is not sufficient you will need a "Java Development Kit" (JDK) aka "Software Development Kit" (SDK). Please see https://help.ubuntu.com/community/Java about how to install one of three current implementations. [07:44] Or... can someone tell me if I need to call anacron using the crontab? [07:46] So, I have no idea what I'm doing really, but I have a switch I need to connect to with a serial cable. I have a little ARM based thing with a serial connector hooked up to it now, but I have no idea what I'm doing. I have no idea how to even try to establish a connection [07:46] rsparks,what little arm based thing [07:47] Efika MX [07:47] it's the jtag/serial board that ships with it that I'm using it to connect to my Baystack 450-24T [07:48] rsparks, what do you need to do with it? [07:48] you can send raw data with python pretty easily [07:48] if you know what you need to send [07:48] what is installed on the efika rsparks [07:48] Nimble, I'm not entirely sure what I need to do. All I know is for whatever reason I can't get more than about 80kb/s to go over its 100mbit/s ports. [07:49] I want to see if it has any error messages or anything at all [07:49] you need to check what baud rate you have the device set to [07:49] it's pretty device-dependent [07:49] let me read up on the efika mx real quick [07:50] I'm looking at its documenation, but it kind of assumes one is using windows to access the switch [07:51] do you have a link? [07:51] http://www.genesi-tech.com/products/efika [07:51] um, on another computer. lemme see if I can get it to this machine [07:52] and it's an Efika MX, not an Efika, IzzoDizzo (I didn't open the link but I can guess it's reference the old PPC Efika instead of the ARM Efika MX) [07:52] rsparks, is the device that IzzoDizzo linked the right one? [07:52] nope, the one he linked is ARM [07:52] That is the right one [07:52] @@ [07:53] k [07:53] rsparks: Is this a CISCO switch? [07:53] It's a Nortel Baystack 450-24T [07:53] quit [07:55] rsparks: Have you tried anything (like running minicom) yet to connect? [07:57] Jordan_U, the problem is... I know 0 about serial connection. I don't know what minicom is. [07:58] Also, are the 10.10 repos down? the Efika MX is stuck on 10.10, and I can't seem to get any packages on it [07:58] try typing minicom :) [07:58] minicom gave a command not found === tuxnguyendlk is now known as tuxnguyendlk_ === tuxnguyendlk_ is now known as tuxnguyendlk [08:00] rsparks: sudo apt-get install minicom [08:02] Jordan_U, and here I find another problem, I guess the repos to 10.10's arm port are gone. can't install any software [08:02] rsparks: Ubuntu 10.10 has been EOL for a while. [08:02] OK, I'm back. I was wondering if anyone knows if Ubuntu works on a Triple Monitor System? [08:02] rsparks: Do you not have any other computer that you can connect to the switch from? [08:02] under Configuring Apt-build its asking for my Architecture [08:02] Genesi never fixed 11.x or 12.x on it, so 10.10 is the latest version of ubuntu supported. I never got the community made debian arm-hf images to work for some reason [08:02] I have a AMD 64 bit CPU [08:03] ario, eyefinity? [08:03] what should I put? [08:03] Ario : yes it does [08:03] I have that. [08:04] Thank Ou Tex-Nick [08:04] Jordan_U, I have I believe 2 computers with serial, an old x86 that doesn't have PAE, and a Sun Ultra 5. I don't actually have a serial cable, the efika's serial port just happens to be the opposite gender of the switch so just fits in [08:04] you even [08:05] Ario: you're welcome :) [08:06] I Have an AMD Athlon X2, what architecture should i select for configuring apt-build? [08:06] Athlon64? [08:06] sup. hi ppl [08:06] rsparks: If you have screen installed you can also use "screen /dev/ttyS#", but since you're using an unnofficial derivative based on an EOL release of Ubuntu it's doubly offtopic here. Please join ##linux to continue there. [08:06] athlon-fx? [08:06] Hmmm, but, I have a spare jtag/serial board for the efika MX, and I think another female connector that doesn't go to anything lying around, and I'm handy with a soldering iron === Dawn_ is now known as PrincessDaybreak [08:08] This is scary and exciting all at one time, who knew that a 53 yo former Marine can have so much fun :) [08:10] Ario : i'm a 66 year old Ranger ... i'll forgive you for that though ;-) Semper Fidelis Man [08:11] LOL. 53 YO Recon Marine :) Worked with many a Ranger in my Day [08:16] I am trying to make my mounted network drives show up under "Network" in the left pane in Nautilus. [08:16] currently they show up under "Computer" [08:17] how does one start up cron? I did '/etc/init.d/crond start' but just get a 'No such file or directory' result === Guest68483 is now known as _irenicus09 [08:18] zetheroo did you try it with sudo? [08:18] PlastikSpork: I am logged in as root [08:19] well that answers that question === leonardo is now known as Guest49102 [08:21] zetheroo try cron instead of crond [08:21] zetheroo: hope you understand the dangers of that ? [08:22] <_irenicus09> hi anyone knows how to make my drives get recognised & automount in any filemanager? I'm on openbox [08:23] _irenicus09: network drives or local drives? [08:23] Tex_Nick: well we have always accessed all our Debian servers directly as root ... so having a few Ubuntu servers where we have to constantly be doing 'sudo' to get anything done is just too much of a pain. ;) [08:24] ok, if I do 'service cron start' I get 'start: Job is already running: cron' [08:24] but if I do 'ps -A | grep cron' I get '1457 ? 00:00:02 cron' with 'cron' being in red === tm_ is now known as tm [08:25] what are you trying to do zetheroo [08:26] IzzoDizzo: I setup a number of cronjobs with crontab -e ... these jobs were supposed to run over the weekend and they did not [08:26] zetheroo: ahhh ok i understand ... just like to warn people who are new to the X world ... sounds like you know what you're doing though ;-) [08:26] zetheroo: are you seeing cron entries in the log? [08:26] Tex_Nick: well, always learning ... but just so you know all my home machines run Ubuntu and none of them are used by root access ;) [08:27] <_irenicus09> PlastikSpork: local drives [08:27] IzzoDizzo: I cannot see any cron log in /var/log/ [08:27] try syslog [08:28] _irenicus09 this is a VM? [08:28] <--- has had his head in the sand untill last night, finally installed ubuntu and is now having trouble... need some help please :) [08:29] IzzoDizzo: this is what syslog looks like ... http://paste.ubuntu.com/5587306/ [08:31] looks like its running cron [08:31] cron.hourly [08:31] zetheroo, can i see your cronjobs? [08:31] IzzoDizzo: ok [08:31] Art1: The first step toward getting help is to ask a question :) [08:31] <_irenicus09> PlastikSpork: No its not a VM [08:31] waiting my turn is all :) [08:32] art1, just ask :) [08:32] I want to get the contents from either a running screen or tmux. Issue is both require a pty to attach to them and theres not one avalable programicly. Any tips? [08:32] Art1: There is no line. People just ask question and if someone can answer it they do. There are sometimes 20 conversations going on at the same time here :) [08:33] installed 12.04 last night, let it update when I went to work this afternoon. when it restarted, it freezes on a black screen with a cursor at the top... [08:33] _irenicus09 dual boot? [08:33] IzzoDizzo: can I PM you the pastebin of the cronjobs ? [08:33] fresh pure, pure install [08:33] Art1: Do you see anything between the BIOS screens and the blinking cursor? [08:34] !nomodeset [08:34] A common kernel (boot)parameter is nomodeset, which is needed for some graphic cards that otherwise boot into a black screen or show corrupted splash screen. See http://ubuntuforums.org/showthread.php?t=1613132 on how to use this parameter [08:34] zetheroo: sure [08:34] yeah... the splash screen comes up for a sec and a bunch of lines flash... then nothing [08:35] <_irenicus09> PlastikSpork: why does it matter if I dual boot lol. [08:36] <_irenicus09> PlastikSpork: the problem is I need 2 automount external/removable drives and none of them show up in my filemanager [08:36] <_irenicus09> PlastikSpork: but I can see that they're there when I use fdisk -l [08:36] art1, are you able to boot into recovery mode? [08:37] <_irenicus09> and I don't wanna mount them manually which is a chore -.-" [08:37] nope... only way that I hav ebeen able to start up is by booting from the cd [08:37] _irenicus09 ahh ic... got confused usually local drives should show up automatically [08:37] <_irenicus09> PlastikSpork: ya but its my fresh openbox install :| [08:38] openbox dosent have the automounter stuff.. [08:38] its part of the gnome services i think. [08:38] so use some automounter service. if you arre making your own desktop.. or use fstab [08:39] https://help.ubuntu.com/community/Fstab [08:40] I am able to get to the grub menu though... well timed key presses :) [08:40] tried the nomodeset option yet Art1 ? [08:41] not yet... reading up on it now though :) [08:42] Art1 : just for my personal knowledge ... what graphics are you running ? [08:43] ATI Radeon HD 6xxx [08:43] 6870 [08:44] Art1 : ok thanks man ... i'm keeping a list ;-) [08:44] no prob :) [08:44] it's always good to keep a list of problem children :) [08:45] Art1: is that an APU or descrete card ? [08:45] umm... ??? [08:45] <_irenicus09> dr_willis: do you know which gnomeservice can do automounting for me? [08:45] _irenicus09: not really. it would pull iin quite a bit of gnome i imagine [08:46] install nautilus perhaps and it might pull it in.' [08:46] Art1 : a seperate graphics card ... or an AMD APU processor instead of a CPU ? [08:46] oh... seperate card [08:46] <_irenicus09> dr_willis: actually I have nautilus installed atm :| [08:46] What is the easiest way to set a python script to run on startup?

I'll figure out if my vps provider will let me do that. [08:58] hmmm i dont think with a vps you really need to worry about it.. but ive only used one vps [08:59] hello [08:59] hello [08:59] the problem with web apps are they huge amount of small files. One cakephp installation take up 5% of my inodes on my current filesystem setup [08:59] I just installed ubuntu, then updated and reboot the computer.

[09:05] how do i restore the system to earlier state? [09:06] since they could be whats confused. [09:06] ok how do i install nvidia drivers in terminal? [09:06] Watch out for Tyler Durdens video card drivers.

[09:08] how do i restore the system to earlier state? === ericab is now known as ericab_away [09:09] theres not really a way to restore to an earlier state [09:09] you could test with an older kernel.. see if it works there [09:09] oh unlike windows then, cool [09:09] so what next [09:09] sudo apt-get install linux-headers`uname -r | sed s/^.*[0-9]\-/-/g` [09:09] try reinstalling the nvidia drivers....

As I can extract the serial number of the volume of dvd from a terminal, [09:37] can i do something to show you what was updated last then maybe you can see what caused this all? [09:38] the system was perfect before today's update [09:39] Mojojojo: whats in /var/lib/dkms ? [09:39] how do i check that in terminal?

Check out the bash prompt howto at tldp.org [10:26] dr_willis: I have good taste ;) but when swithing terminals in Unity, it sometimes confuses me [10:28] belgianguy: create some new profiles in gnome-terminal, then run "gnome-terminal --window-with-profile=host1-profile -e "whatever"" [10:29] TakeItEZ: and will it remember that? or does one have to do this each time (or create a script of some sort?) [10:30] belgianguy: the profiles are permanent, but it won't remember what profile you used last time [10:31] TakeItEZ: could I make a bash script that I feed an IP and make it base its scheme on that? [10:31] belgianguy: sure [10:32] TakeItEZ: ah, then I have a new pet project :) thanks! [10:33] well, I wouldn't really need a script, I could also just use an alias, right? [10:33] belgianguy: i'd use hostnames = profilnames, then something like: gnome-terminal --window-with-profile=$1 -e "ssh $1" [10:33] TakeItEZ: smart that, that would eliminate bughunts if IPs change [10:33] Hi everyone.

There's nmap for MS Windows, (I guess). nmap is a port scaning tool.

[12:52] if the program you are executing let that signal yes, styler2go [12:53] and if not? i typed in crontab -e and i cant leave this screen [12:53] when you execute crontab -e it ask you what editor you want to use [12:53] which one did you select? [12:53] it did not asked me, it just oped this one: http://img16.imageshack.us/img16/4690/climsyclipboardur.png [12:54] ah, those view-insert editors based [12:54] did you change something? [12:54] with typing :q it will ask you to exit [12:54] yes, this was empty, the one line is what i wrote [12:55] you can use first :w to save [12:55] and :q to exit [12:55] :wq will work, i guess [12:55] uhm, thank you :) [12:56] i dont like this editor :D [12:56] indeed, i guess you pressed "i" for add the line, then when you end editin, you press Esc [12:56] Howdy all [12:56] so you are in view mode, and now you are able to send the :wq command [12:56] i either dont like those editors, nano is so cool [12:56] yes i am using nano too [12:57] also if you type select-editor [12:57] it will ask you what default editor you want to use for contrab [12:57] thanks :) [12:57] help, trouble reinstalling a package http://paste.ubuntu.com/5587729/ [13:02] Hello. I'm considering formatting my external drive as ZFS and using it as a backup storage system (mainly for its inbuilt deduplication). I'm running Ubuntu 12.04. Does this sound like a good idea? Any words of caution I should bear in mind? [13:04] Nul0, any particular reason why you're using ZFS ? [13:04] <[Saint]> "(mainly for its inbuilt deduplication)" [13:05] BluesKaj, inbuilt deduplication (storage space) [13:06] sorry , never heard that word before , is that dedicated duplication or some other meaning , Nul0 ?

[13:07] BluesKaj, https://blogs.oracle.com/bonwick/entry/zfs_dedup [13:07] <[Saint]> deduplication == "to not needlessly duplicate" [13:07] <[Saint]> Nul0: I'd seriously look into building a NAS, though [13:08] [Saint], never tried that before.

[13:11] <[Saint]> join #foo; wait 10; join #bar [13:11] <[Saint]> etc. [13:12] <[Saint]> Nul0: you probably want to look at FreeNAS [13:14] Hello! I want to replace e.g. cmake with a newer version not available in ubuntu. So I install it locally to /usr/local/. How can I tell ubuntu (on the commandline) that ubuntu-cmake should be removed, but still, cmake should be considered installed (so it doesn't re-install ubuntucmake when apackage depends on it) [13:14] In gentoo, I believe its done using /etc/portage/package.provided [13:14] saint. autorun? i dont see that in settings... all i can see is in network list, edit, connect command. i have msg nickserv identify user pass, so i guess after that command i put the join commands [13:15] [Saint], I'll give it a shot. Seems to fit the bill perfectly. [13:15] <[Saint]> Wooo!

[13:17] any help greatly appreciated [13:17] <[Saint]> DR01D-Engineer: I thought xchat had autorun, my mistake - anyway - here: http://www.beamartyr.net/projects/autorun.html [13:17] <[Saint]> but, this is wildly off-topic. [13:18] hello ppl.. i just installed Ubuntu 12.10 and Nvidia drivers.. I have a 2 monitor setup.. however when I maximize a window it only fills one monitor.. how can i make it fill both monitors.. i am able to drag windows back and forth the 2 monitors so i know i have one x-screen [13:18] <[Saint]> You should probably go poke the guys at #xchat [13:19] is there another channel for unity [13:20] does uds start in 40 minutes or am I way off?

Sorry. =$ [13:26] <[Saint]> http://uds.ubuntu.com/ [13:26] [Saint], yes that is correct... and okay, think it should be 1am here in Eastern Australia === kent is now known as Guest76536 [13:26] if the output of "lshw" is only "PCI (sysfs)" does that point to a problem i can resolve? [13:26] <[Saint]> it means you probably didn't use sudo [13:27] i did [13:27] <[Saint]> On slow systems, it can take some time. [13:27] there is some sort of problem, i am trying to use my HDMI out as a secondary display - until today it's always just worked. [13:27] <[Saint]> I wouldn;t expect it to ever take longer than 60 seconds, though. [13:28] but now if i boot up with hdmi unplugged, it doesn't do anything when i plug it in. if i boot with it plugged in, the hdmi is the only display (laptop screen is blank) [13:29] My netbook's screen goes blank when connecting HDMI. Perhaps that's how it works, unless both screen worked before. [13:29] both screens have always worked [13:29] I currently do not know how to make dual screens displaying at the same time. Any help? [13:29] and right now if i boot from a usb stick both screens work [13:30] [Saint]: could you look at the output of lshw for me? http://pastebin.ubuntu.com/5587778/ [13:30] <[Saint]> I could...but, I'm not entirely sure why I'd want to. [13:31] [Saint]: i thought maybe you'd help me because i'm desperate and asking graciously? [13:31] That seems to be your integrated graphics working while on HDMI screen is plugged in, right? [13:31] nydel, what are you trying to achieve? Dual screening? [13:31] ivotkl: well, the main screen is blank, and the HDMI is low-res [13:31] yes ivotkl, usually i can do this: [13:31] xrandr --output HDMI1 --mode 1920x1080 --pos 1280x25 --rotate normal --output LVDS1 --mode 1280x800 --pos 0x0 --rotate normal --output DP1 --off --output VGA1 --off [13:32] and that sets me up with a dual display [13:32] but right now that gives me a lot of errors like none of those devices exist [13:32] Cool. [13:32] Ouch... [13:32] What if you check how video config settings are when booting from USB and try to apply them to current system? [13:32] i'm not sure what i've done but perhaps i've uninstalled something or f'd up a xwindows config file? [13:33] hello ppl.. i just installed Ubuntu 12.10 and Nvidia drivers.. I have a 2 monitor setup.. however when I maximize a window it only fills one monitor.. how can i make it fill both monitors.. i am able to drag windows back and forth the 2 monitors so i know i have one x-screen [13:33] Could be, anything's possible when we put our hands on a highly tweak-able system, hehe [13:33] Hi Ubuntuficators:) [13:33] ivotkl: that's great idea, thank you. what files would i look at? [13:34] guys can someone pastebin me a valid sources.list file? [13:34] No idea, I'm not very knowledgeable about this stuff. I was just giving you an idea. =$ [13:34] us.archive.ubuntu.com is not resolving [13:34] hi all I get this error "No route found for "GET o/hello" " when i want to access "http://symfony.dev:8080/app_dev.php/demo/hello" -- why i cutting demo/hello to o/hello ? [13:34] I can post you mine with those servers. I haven't modified it. [13:34] sorry wrong room [13:34] ivotkl: thanks a lot that's very helpful [13:34] ivotkl: please bro, and send me the url in a pm... [13:34] <[Saint]> nmittal: as far as your lshw output - your system seems to think it only has one display output. [13:35] ivotkl: also if you can give me the PPA archive [13:35] <[Saint]> This, one assumes, is the root of the problem. [13:35] <[Saint]> Even if you're not using both outputs, all available outputs should be listed there. [13:36] [Saint]: right - and thank you kindly - do you have any idea what i may have done to cause this? [13:36] Nice overview on Mir + Unity QML + Unity APIs = Unity -- from Olli, http://www.olli-ries.com/mir-unity-qml-unity-apis-unity/ [13:36] i kind of feel like there is some stupid config file i could just delete somewhere if i only knew what it was, or something? [13:36] <[Saint]> No idea what would cause this, sorry. [13:37] <[Saint]> it also seems kinda odd that it lists the display as unclaimed. [13:38] <[Saint]> I would think it should be in use and hence "claimed", if you have any form of visible display at all.

I'm getting the error message "/etc/cron.daily/apt: Cache has broken packages, exiting" in my logs. what do? [13:42] <[Saint]> If I unplug the DVI input, line 15 simply changes to " *-display:1 UNCLAIMED" [13:44] <[Saint]> TechnikalMind: "sudo apt-get clean"; then try again [13:45] [Saint]: how do I know which ones are the broken ones that I have to fix? [13:45] <[Saint]> You don't need to. [13:45] <[Saint]> apt-get clean should "just work".

They keep increasing => http://ubuntuone.com/7BHnlOPMejEhnlN0x3NCWa [13:47] I don't see any way to delete them, they are not with the other connections [13:49] Hi...

(note: previously when i was plugged into my office network i had no problem) [13:50] i've tried restarting the ssh service. but still can't connect [13:50] any ideas on how to debug? [13:51] ugh [13:51] after all that [13:51] got the port number wrong [13:51] [13:51] i just installed Ubuntu 10.10 i386 on my ESXI server but the add-apt-repostitory cmd does not work. I already have installed python-software-properties [13:51] baswazz: 10.10 is not supported. [13:52] is there any way to undo deleted files via ftp on a ubuntu server 12.04? [13:52] theadmin: not supported? on esxi? [13:52] Wiz_KeeD: use some file-based recovery program [13:52] baswazz: No, it's not supported at all. It's reached end-of-life. [13:52] theadmin: i have a VM running 10.10 amd64 it does work [13:52] cou [13:53] coucou [13:53] sa va [13:53] ? [13:53] Wiz-Keed: afiak it deletes the info from the file allocation table.. so you have to use something that scans each sector to get the files back [13:53] baswazz: It might work... But the repos have been brought down, and it's not supported on IRC. [13:53] theadmin: what doe you advice? [13:53] theadmin: 10.04 is not even that old [13:53] Hi! I seem to have accidentally uninstalled my sound driver's module. Which package do I need to reinstall it? It's called snd_hda_intel [13:53] What are you doing? [13:53] savagecroc: 10.04 was an LTS and so it's supported longer, 10.10 is EOL now. [13:54] theadmin: i made a type i am pointing to 12.04 and 12.10 [13:54] ahhh right [13:54] baswazz: I suggest installing a more recent version, such as 12.04 or 12.10 [13:54] is there any point in bothering with the .10 version then? [13:54] versions [13:54] theadmin: i made a type error i have 12.04 installed === Kitar|st_ is now known as Kitar|st [13:55] savagecroc: Well, there are regular releases every 6 months -- they have shiny new stuff, but the LTS releases (every 2 years) are more stable and have longer support. [13:55] What's the current kernel version on 12.10? [13:55] baswazz: Ah, okay then. Hm. That I can help with. Are you running add-apt-repository as root? (you need sudo before that command, generally) [13:55] !info linux-image-generic quantal | srhb [13:55] srhb: linux-image-generic (source: linux-meta): Generic Linux kernel image. In component main, is optional. Version 3.5.0.25.31 (quantal), package size 2 kB, installed size 32 kB [13:55] theadmin: Thanks. [13:55] theadmin: yes i use sudo before the command [13:56] baswazz: Hm, what's the output then? [13:56] baswazz: Does the ppa that you are adding actually provide a package for your release? [13:56] Are the kernel modules normally included with the linux-image-version-generic packages? [13:57] <[Saint]> Hummmm... [13:57] is there a way i could disable nvidia and only use Intel GPU on my laptop [13:57] Optimus [13:57] <[Saint]> Is there a way to limit bash history to N entries? [13:57] i need to install a package on a machine with no internet connection what can i do? [13:57] Pici: i installed 12.04 and i saw a erro compiling for i386 so it isnt thats why i installed 12.10 [13:57] [Saint]: None that I know of. [13:58] <[Saint]> Right, thanks. [13:58] baswazz: Can you provide the exact command that you entered? [13:58] theadmin: Pici http://paste.ubuntu.com/5587828 [13:59] Pici: sudo apt-get install python-software-properties [13:59] srhb: Well, according to dpkg -L linux-image-3.2.0-38-generic (my current kernel), a whole bunch of stuff was installed in /lib/modules by that package. So, yes, modules are included with the image. [13:59] baswazz: It says that it is already installed. [13:59] Pici: sudo add-apt-repository ppa:oscam/ppa [13:59] theadmin: Right. Odd that the module went missing after the last upgrade. [14:00] srhb: What module is it? If it's some third-party one you may need to rebuild it. [14:00] baswazz: And what happened after you typed that? [14:00] Pici: sudo: add-apt-repository: command not found [14:00] What is the name of the network manager in Ubuntu? [14:00] network-manager doesn't seem to be it [14:00] elijah: NetworkManager. [14:00] theadmin: No, it always just worked up until now. It's a pretty common module, snd-hda-intel [14:00] What're the diff.s bet. pre-released (proposed) and unsupported (backports) updates? [14:01] YatharthROCK_: proposed are going to make it in the main repos after a bunch of testing. Backports are the newer versions of packages from next releases. [14:01] theadmin: Thanks! I tried that without ProperCase, I never would have thought to try that! [14:01] elijah: Yeah, odd name :/ [14:02] noob question... how can I get to a terminal window before Ubuntu loads... without going to the grub window? 12.04 [14:02] theadmin, Thanks. How could I upgrade from QQ to Ubuntu 13? [14:02] It's been a pleasure everyone. See you later. [14:02] Pici: you have any idea? [14:02] Art1, Use recovery mode, maybe? [14:02] baswazz: Ithink add-apt-repository has moved to the software-properties-common package in 12.10 [14:03] Art1, you need the system to load, to get a terminal. Using recovery mode is also through grub [14:03] YatharthROCK_: No 13.x versions are released yet, and so you can't. [14:03] Art1, Or use xdotool to hit Ctrl+Alt+F1 right after boot... [14:03] Pici: ok ill try that [14:03] YatharthROCK_: Once it's released, you'll get a notification. [14:03] theadmin, So i have to install it separately? No upgrades? [14:03] need to uninstall catalyst... even recovery freezes to a black screen [14:03] YatharthROCK_: Nah, you can upgrade, but once it's released. If you're looking to upgrade to the development version, though, please consult #ubuntu-1 on how to do that. [14:03] Err. [14:03] #ubuntu+1 [14:04] Art1: Do you have a LiveCD? [14:04] yes... that is the only way I can use my computer atm :( [14:05] and reinstalling everything after a reboot is getting old [14:05] Art1: Perfect! Mount your / drive and then issue the following command: sudo chroot /media/whatever (where /media/whatever is where it's mounted). [14:05] Art1: Then, use "sudo apt-get remove ..." as you normally would [14:06] hehe... just "mount c" ? [14:06] The heck is "c"? That doesn't seem like a device node to me. [14:06] Art1: It's more likely to be something along the lines of "sudo mount /dev/sda1 /mnt" [14:06] some background... I'm completely new to ubuntu as of 2 days ago... had my head in the sand with windows [14:06] Art1: You can use the filemanager to mount it for you, then hit Ctrl+L to find the address it mounted it to. [14:07] Pici: thanks for the fast support that did the trick [14:07] Art1, or use the palimpsest (Ubuntu Disk Utility) to mount it [14:08] What would be the best way to upgrade NetworkManager 0.9.4.0 (precise stable) to 0.9.8.0? === enchilonger is now known as enchilado [14:09] palimpsest? [14:09] seperate download from the live cd? [14:09] Art1: Never mind that... Go to the file manager and hit something like "100500GB Storage", then hit Ctrl-L and you'll find the path to chroot to. === jack is now known as Guest55965 [14:14] grrr... giveing me permission denied [14:14] Art1: What exactly is? [14:15] <[Saint]> YatharthROCK_: "update-manager -d" [14:15] theadmin: I used "sudo apt-get remove --purge xorg-driver-fglrx fglrx*" [14:15] <[Saint]> YatharthROCK_: assuming you're on 12.10, this will prompt to install 13.04 [14:16] [Saint], Tried that, but it didn't prompt me to install RR :( [14:17] anyone used lftp [14:17] <[Saint]> YatharthROCK_: works for me. [14:17] mmediately [14:17] it worked for me well, however now after i download stuff and quit lftp, the downloaded image is gone i [14:18] hi [14:18] xxiao: I use it all the time - what do you mean "the download image is gone"? [14:18] bekks: I've tried all of the vbox instructions on mounting a windows share in an ubuntu guest, but nothing's working. I keep getting the same error, "mounting failed with the error: No such device" === Guest55965 is now known as wNz === wNz is now known as wN [14:19] jpmh: on 10.04, i pget -n 5 ftp://my.iso, then issue "bye", and the image is not there [14:19] jpmh: while downloading, i saw that image is increasing in size [14:19] ciaO [14:19] ciao [14:20] it worked for me in the past [14:20] !list [14:20] brucelee1: 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 ». [14:20] xxiao, what folder are you downloading to [14:20] escott: ~/downloads [14:20] I've searched google and checked pages marked "solved", but they all seem to give similar advice that doesn't work. I'm mounting per the instructions, and even tried installing "build-essential linux headers", per one page, but no change [14:20] xxiao: so basically you are getting the file to your current working directory, and then it goes away? [14:20] jpmh: yes [14:21] xxiao: what happens if instead of pget you just use get? [14:21] jpmh: whenever i quit lftp, if i stay in, the file is there [14:21] jpmh: did not test, the download is too slow single threaded [14:21] like 40+ mins [14:22] try the single thread - I think that what is happening is that the transfer is not really completing - I am also not familiar with "bye", do you mean quit? [14:22] any thoughts as to why it's such a pain mounting a drive in ubuntu running on vbox? [14:22] xxiao, how exactly is parallel download supposed to be faster? [14:22] !list [14:23] xxiao: typically multi-threaded is rarely faster when you are getting one file from one source since usually the limiting factor is the link or the sending server and this is not helped by going multi-threaded [14:23] escott: depends on the server side i assume [14:23] some server limits speed on one request [14:24] xxiao: escott I think escott is saying the same as I am [14:24] if you issue, say 5 requests, you get 5x faster speed, per my testing [14:24] some other servers are smart to avoid that though, so it depends, but does not hurt to try parallel [14:24] xxiao, thats really rude of you to try and evade that then [14:24] xxiao: for the purpose of this debug try a regutal single threaded get - it may not be as fast as you want but it is faster than failing, which is what is happening [14:25] ok [14:25] escott: xxiao I also agree with escott that if someone has set a limit it is inappropriate to try and evade it [14:25] jpmh: i rarely do that, only once a while i need something quick [14:26] xxiao: your comment that five connections is five time faster certainly should not be the case for one file unless as you say the sender has implimented a per-connection limit - in which case you should honor it [14:27] xxiao: is this a public site you are connecting to? [14:27] yes [14:27] xxiao: then, care to share the ftp address and I will try - I have a VERY fast link [14:28] ciao [14:28] !list [14:28] xxiao, if you are using ftp you my try disabling the control/data port and running over the same TCP connection. one could be throttling the other [14:29] escott: can you explain that to me - what do you mean? [14:29] jpmh, active vs passive [14:30] hello [14:30] today is ubuntu developer summit [14:30] escott: ty - makes sense - I personally have never seen a problem with lftp - but good thinking [14:31] how much is a domain [14:31] escott: since you seem to know more about lftp than me, is there any way that I can have it use my ssh-keygen key when I am doing an sftp connection?

[15:49] No. [15:49] srhb: ahh === nodns is now known as l0p3n [15:49] I also had to manually get some dkms driver to get my intel sound card to work again. [15:49] Probably not using the right terminology here, I'm confused at how this works. [15:49] srhb: compiled the kernel? or used the update manager? [15:50] apt-get install'ed it [15:50] I've also lost my wireless card and other fun stuff. :P [15:51] srhb: download a fresh image and install. and restore home folder [15:52] The issue is most definitely not my home folder, it's that the modules either a) are not there b) aren't loaded [15:52] But I believe they aren't there since modprobe fails to find them [15:52] I'll try installing another kernel, but I've done that several times now. [15:52] srhb: try reinstalling the os. [15:53] Hey if I want someone (a non-privileged user) to save a script somewhere that'll be in his path... where can it go? (I thought ~/bin was in the path - but it isn't now :S) [15:53] That's the last resort, yeah. I hope it doesn't come to that. [15:53] It would be lovely if only I understood what determines which modules are placed in /lib/modules and by which package. Maybe then I could understand why I'm missing some or they aren't loaded. [15:54] ok guys, i'm having serious problems with sound. Doing very minor things (scrolling a page, moving my cursor over the icons in the unity launcher) causes my sound to start crackling and eventually stop altogether. If I have something playing in rythmbox the playback pauses (without rythmbox itself pausing), if I kill pulseaudio sound starts working again when it restarts [15:54] lantizia: /usr/local/bin [15:54] however i've tried running pulseaudio with -vvvvv and when the sound stops working, pulseaudio is still running and doesn't seem to notice the sound has crashed [15:55] fnuser, I said non-privileged user [15:55] i've tried adding tsched=0 to the line "load-module module-udev-detect" in /etc/pulse/default.pa but this seems to make it worse [15:55] nagchampa: Getting rid of pulseaudio usually solves those problems. [15:56] jhutchins_wk: yes, but that introduces problems of its own, so i was hoping to be able to try to get pulseaudio working [15:56] lantizia: create a /home directory or in /mnt and set the permissions and update the $PATH variable [15:57] fnuser, yeah your not getting it at all - nevermind [15:57] [troy] l access [15:57] [linux] Access for troy (troy@alphachat/staff/troy) is Bot Owner.

[15:57] Huh [15:58] lantizia: run echo $PATH and paste the output [15:58] $HOME/bin seems to be the answer as I thought... but .profile only adds it to your $PATH if the directory existed whenever .profile is executed === milind is now known as abyss42 [15:59] if I open a terminal... mkdir ~/bin ... close the terminal and re-open it then $PATH still doesn't show it [15:59] So I'm guessing .profile is ran right at the beginning of me logging in? [15:59] lantizia: correct. [15:59] lantizia: yes, put it in .bashrc [15:59] fnuser, that's not needed === DarkAce-Z is now known as DarkAceZ [16:00] Pici, anyway to re-load .profile whilst still in the same session? [16:00] lantizia: source ~/.profile [16:01] hi [16:01] Pici, yes but that doesn't make the changes .profile does persistent... if I close and re-open the terminal then the path is back to the way it was [16:01] i wonder how bad it is to help [16:01] please let know how ubuntu works [16:01] lantizia: If you're in a graphical session, you'd need to log out completely and log back in for .profile to take effect. [16:02] Pici, no way around that? [16:02] you are doomed lantizia [16:02] lantizia: I *think* you might be able to put it in your .bashrc and have it run when you open the terminal. [16:02] i have never used ubuntu before How do i start? [16:03] Pici, meh didn't really want to meddle with whats already there [16:03] don't say that to her, Pici . she doesn't need that [16:03] SHE!? [16:03] ok HE* [16:03] no body WANTS TO HELP ME? [16:03] look it's not bad to help - but you didn't understand the original context of what I was asking [16:04] I don't need a 101 tutorial on paths, exports, bash, etc - as I know that... I was after what the *protocol* was for putting user made non-privileged scripts some place [16:04] haha.. really? [16:04] and it was ~/bin as I remembered anyway - but it needs a login/out after mkdir ~/bin to be effective :S [16:05] lantizia: how about you open your terminal and run "echo $PATH" and prove your point [16:05] lantizia: putting ~/bin in someones path is dangerous so it's not done by default [16:05] What happens now that Mir is on the way? Will the upgrade be seemless? Or are we expecting apps to break? [16:06] hapster: what upgrade ? [16:06] ikonia, well... it is... it's in .profile - but it's only done if ~/bin exists [16:06] lantizia: there you go then, [16:06] lol - so what you just said isn't quite true lol [16:06] lantizia: no...it's not [16:06] lantizia: please re-read what I said [16:06] i'd just like a way of enabling ~/bin without having to login/out [16:06] lantizia: source the .profile [16:07] ikonia: for example, let's say Mir is ready for 13.04 and I'm currently in 12.10. Will upgrading be as easy as upgrading from the update manager? Even if it uses a different compositor? [16:07] ikonia, which only works for that terminal - been over this before [16:07] hapster: it's not in 13.04, check the roadmap [16:07] lantizia: so re-start, it's one restart of the X11 enviornment === owen is now known as Guest81505 [16:07] there is nothing dangerous with ~/bin at all and you cannot prevent someone to set it, even if you (whyever) dislike it. differnt thing is "." [16:07] For anyone wondering, the trick was to install linux-image-extra. Go figure [16:08] ikonia: I know. But just for example, transitioning between an XOrg version and a Mir version. Will it be simple? [16:08] ikonia, which is a pain if someone is trying to follow these instructions and is in the middle of a million other things and doesn't WANT to logout [16:08] llutz, i completely agree [16:08] lantizia: then they just need to wait [16:08] round round and round goes lantizia [16:08] fnuser, further than you got [16:08] ikonia: I'm also concerned about some apps I've developed and some apps I'm currently using. Dunno if it will break or something. Do I have to do a rewrite and study how Mir works or will the API have some compatibility layer. [16:09] fnuser: Can you please drop the useless comments. [16:09] Pici: no === digi_ is now known as Guest9301 [16:11] Pici, ok a little out my comfort zone with this question... but since .profile is set when you very first log in - isn't that essentially on the first tty or something? can .profile be re-run as that tty to make it global for everything? === King is now known as Guest19355 === s9iper1_ is now known as s9iper1 [16:18] .profile runs in each new shell you open, and you can also run it manually to activate changes you've made. === mpmc|Away is now known as mpmc === weddle_ is now known as weddle [16:21] hapster: you're going to have to wait until more information is known I think [16:21] problem of ATI with 12.10.

I just hope Ubuntu will still stay open. [16:22] hapster: hard to have any feelings with so little known === iber is now known as styxlt [16:23] ikonia: yeah but in essence, it's basically doing things on your own. Or at least you have Ubuntu doing things on their own without the help of the Linux community in general. [16:23] ikonia: and that's what worries me. Ubuntu is becoming more Ubuntu than a linux distro. If that made any sense. haha [16:24] hapster: if you read the documentation references to linux have been removed for a long time, eg: The Ubuntu Kernel, rather than the Linux kernel [16:25] howto add a new user and make sure hell have a homedir in /hom ewith the same name as th user? [16:25] K350: use "adduser USERNAME" [16:26] ikonia: yeah.

[16:37] Yud_Zroc, and even then at least openjdk and the oracle jvm (which I assume you mean with 'normal') are very similar there too [16:37] i will, thanks guys . i'm really impressed from the help [16:38] zomgor: so its possible to develop a game using both openjdk and oricals java for windows using jmonkey3? [16:38] Thats one less heartattack i need :D [16:38] Yud_Zroc, the code you write has nothing to do with the jvm it runs on [16:39] zomgor, if it does, that's a bug in one of the jvms by definition [16:39] erm, Yud_Zroc ^ [16:39] zomgor: ok, thanks I assume its just the compiling phazes would be the difference lol [16:39] no [16:39] Yud_Zroc, no differences in the byte code either [16:39] oh [16:40] you can compile on ubuntu using openjdk and the resulting class files will execute just fine on windows using the oracle vm [16:40] hm i guess we will start doing our thing thanks zomgor [16:40] have fun coding :) [16:41] I will, starting is the worth part though lol [16:41] Hi there : I'm having an issue related to a samba share mounted on my ubuntu machine [16:41] Is it the right place ?

I'm even considering switching to Lubuntu, is this normal ? or can it be a misconfiguration? I want to rule that out first. [18:02] lol [18:02] cornfeedhobo: you're rigth [18:02] alainus: not at all normal [18:03] alainus, what's slow? [18:03] alainus: without usefull infos we cant help, have a look at /var/log/syslog for example [18:03] lisandrop05: linode, hostduplex, hostvirtual, digitalocean [18:03] no cornfeedhobo I'm using myhosting [18:04] no, those are my reccomendations [18:04] digitalocean is known to have slooooww cpus though [18:04] cornfeedhobo, kalenjohnson, iceroot: at this moment i don't have any logs, and i haven't had crashes today, but i can come back with more info later if you think that's necessary [18:04] cornfeedhobo, but SSD's! [18:04] There are some projects which are trying to embed node in executables but are still in development i believe [18:05] arg [18:05] kalenjohnson: lol. yeah but cpu! [18:05] php eats more cpu than io but i know what you mean [18:05] alainus, but what feels slow? I also have an i7, although more RAM than you. But Ubuntu is supah quick [18:05] iceroot I see, cool [18:05] hostduplex has the best balance from my experience [18:05] cornfeedhobo, that's true [18:05] good io and good compile times [18:06] cornfeedhobo, i'll have to check them out. I haven't tested a lot of VPS 's. Actually I just started using EC2 for the first time this month [18:06] I'm new to all the virtual hosting, it's very exciting :) [18:06] oh what do you think? i have wanted to try them [18:07] cornfeedhobo, it's pretty interesting to be able to spin up servers at will. Just have to remember to stop them when you're not using them, or you pay more [18:07] Injigo: first change name resolve order... wins should be in front [18:07] alainus: if we should support you we need that kind of information [18:07] kalenjohnson: haha interesting [18:07] yeah i dont really need that yet so i have stuck with traditional vps [18:07] kalenjohnson, well launching simple applications like chrome sometimes takes a little longer than expected. I also get pretty frequent "freezes" on whatever application i'm working on (even on xchat here). the launcher icon from unity in the left (i don't know the exact name) takes a few seconds to show up... overall just a little clogged.. it's not the end of the world but it strikes me as strange being a pretty fair cpu [18:08] I have a cron job, used crontab -e, to run every week on Tuesday and i noticed it didn't seem to be running. I changed it to run today at 12:30 and it wasn't running. How would I go about figuring out why it's not running [18:08] I need to reinstall libc6 but apt-get gives me some errors "A copy of the C library was found in an unexpected directory: '/lib/x86_64-linux-gnu/libc-2.15.so'" ... [18:09] Injigo: you are at home or something? what router are you using? whats the computing environment? [18:09] alainus, I have gotten that once in a while... but usually it's the program acting up, not necessarily Ubuntu, afaik. But if you try another desktop, that could help answer your question if it's Unity or not :) [18:09] verysoftoiletppr: purge it first? [18:09] cornfeedhobo http://paste.ubuntu.com/5588389/ [18:10] cornfeedhobo than I can't do anything, almost every app relies on libc6 [18:10] kalenjohnson, i'm trying lubuntu-desktop just today. it flies so far. but of course that's a pretty big overkill. i know lxde is designed for 90's computers [18:10] cornfeedhobo, hoo, hostduplex is a little pricey for a VPS, I guess that's why they have the best CPU's eh? [18:10] what is the best gamer laptop for running ubuntu? [18:10] cornfeedhobo: i dont see anything about resolvers in the config file. and yeah i'm at home using an actiontec router from my ISP [18:10] kalenjohnson: pretty much [18:11] alainus, that's true. But if it works for you, it works. You could always try stock Gnome, or KDE... or Cinnamon... or Mate :) [18:11] * AlphaPinky got a Dell XPS but it over heats when running Ubuntu. [18:11] AlphaPinky, I would check out Clevo resellers like Malibal, XoticPC, etc. Clevo make nice laptops with customizable parts and high-end video cards [18:11] AlphaPinky, define overheat? Does it shut down? clean your PC :) [18:11] kalenjohnson: and all the hypervisors are dells with e5s i think [18:11] kalenjohnson, a question: Gnome/Openbox shows up in my log in menu now that i installed lubuntu-desktop, is that Gnome or is it something else? [18:12] alainus, I'm not quite sure [18:12] Injigo: k... i will post a response so you can just paste it :-) [18:12] I'm running ubuntu 10.04 on a laptop and i need a way for the ubuntu machine to share its wireless internet connection via a wired connection to a windows machine how do i do that? === uncle|sam is now known as Uncle|Sam [18:12] verysoftoiletppr: please remove that copy of the C library or get it out of [18:13] verysoftoiletppr: are you sure apt-get and dpkg use it? [18:13] cornfeedhobo you don't know what your are talking about do you? [18:13] cornfeedhobo: thanks :) [18:13] hellhammer, you're hurting my head. Why doesn't the Windows machine just get a WiFi adapter? They're cheap. [18:13] KingPixel, it heats for real, and gets so hot that starts burning my me. the issue the graphic card. it seems NVidia didnt do a good job with Linux. I´ve googled it and the issue seems to be related to a new technology ¨Optimus¨. this technology isnt well implemented for this laptop I have. it seems Dell´s BIOS doesnt handle it well. It just heats and dries the battery. [18:13] thats not an option right now [18:13] verysoftoiletppr: frankly i use gentoo and not ubunt all that often, so i could be off [18:14] nvidia cards are the best with linux, better than radeon cards. if a PC over heats, it will shut itself off, laptops can get 'hot' but not necessarily be over heating where it causes damage to the CPU [18:14] monitor CPU temp, make sure it's not over 75 celsius [18:14] verysoftoiletppr: but it would seem silly for opt to recommend that if it was _so_ obvious [18:14] apt* [18:15] KingPixel, it does heat. Until a point that the notebook is not usable. but only happens in Linux. [18:15] cornfeedhobo well sudo doesn't work without libc === Uncle|Sam is now known as uncle|sam [18:15] so? sudo it su first :-P [18:15] hellhammer, you need some sort of software to turn the laptop into a switch and use your ethernet port as a client-end connection, i don't know of such a thing [18:15] verysoftoiletppr: so? sudo it su first :-P === uncle|sam is now known as Uncle|Sam [18:15] hellhammer, you can probably do that through server 2008 routing [18:16] ok how do i do that [18:16] Server 2008 R2 RRAS role [18:17] cornfeedhobo only to find out that apt-get doesn't work and I need to boot my machine with a livecd to restore libc6? [18:17] then configure your adapters so that your wifi is your internet and your NIC is your client-end [18:17] Injigo: could you paste the output of "sudo netstat -tuap" ? [18:18] hi im pulling my last hair out over the trouble with wifi on samsung np-n310. running 12.10. tried both wicd and network-manager-gnome. it can see the networks, asks for wifi key and then nothing. [18:18] verysoftoiletppr: um maybe debian would be a better place for you. sorry for bothering you [18:18] the module is ath5k [18:18] #debian* [18:18] cornfeedhobo in #debian they only help people who use debian [18:18] not buntu [18:19] verysoftoiletppr: well then maybe you should not have been snipy [18:20] hi [18:20] hi [18:20] clandestine: hi [18:20] hi [18:20] i tried different params (all_channels, no_hw_rfkill_switch, nohwcrypt, fastchannelswitch) and different combinations.

[18:27] Injigo: all the way at the bottom...in your download share....'browsable' is commented out.... you might also want to run samba as a wins server, but i am not sure if your router can tell dhcp clients where the wins server is, you would have to explore that [18:27] Terminal? [18:27] you CAN get windows apps to work in ubuntu using wine, or possibly mono depending on the exe...

[18:36] verysoftoiletppr: moving libc6 is the most stupid thing you can do on GNU/Linux [18:36] ikonia because I wiped pkg/info [18:36] verysoftoiletppr: why not try a symlink [18:36] uh [18:36] verysoftoiletppr: the package info does nothing to the actual files [18:36] iceroot I know, but cornfeedhobo recommended it twice [18:36] verysoftoiletppr: the libc library should still be in place if you just wiped the package info [18:37] ikonia I wiped info [18:37] verysoftoiletppr: again. you moved it right? not delete it? [18:37] then moved libc6 [18:37] mone it back? [18:37] verysoftoiletppr: what did you wipe / how and why [18:37] verysoftoiletppr: why did you move it ? where did you move it to ? [18:37] ikonia: http://paste.ubuntu.com/5588389/ [18:38] cornfeedhobo: why are you doing re-install libc ?

[18:40] ikonia which part? [18:40] verysoftoiletppr: I'd suggest you do a total re-instlal now to get to a sane install point [18:40] verysoftoiletppr: all of it [18:40] ikonia that would be a hugepita [18:40] bnason: doubtful you've not got enough memory [18:40] huge pita [18:40] bnason: swap [18:40] verysoftoiletppr: fixing this will be a bigger one === Mavrik- is now known as Mavrik [18:40] ikonia not sure of that [18:40] verysoftoiletppr: I am [18:40] 512MB is what I have [18:40] bnason: but agreed. doubtful [18:40] bnason: what are you trying to build [18:40] this is the error im getting, g++-4.6.real: internal compiler error: Killed (program cc1plus) [18:41] znc [18:41] verysoftoiletppr: there is a backup of the package-database [18:41] i have some custom modifications to znc's logging that I need [18:41] bnason: znc is rather small [18:41] bnason: I think there is znc in the ubuntu repos [18:41] you will certainly have enough memory to build it [18:41] iceroot of the info dir?

[18:48] verysoftoiletppr: you again should not be creating files as root === Wug is now known as Wug[Hyperspace] [18:48] ikonia I followed the build instructions [18:48] bnason: looks like you where right [18:48] verysoftoiletppr: then you followed very bad instructions [18:48] ikonia http://dev.deluge-torrent.org/wiki/Installing/Source [18:48] ikonia sorry http://dev.deluge-torrent.org/wiki/Installing/Source#BuildingandInstalling [18:48] deluge - bittorrent client written in Python/PyGTK [18:49] that?

[18:50] verysoftoiletppr: bad instructions [18:50] Hi all! [18:50] verysoftoiletppr: bottom line is - you need a sane system, re-install and be more careful [18:50] [18:49:03] verysoftoiletppr: no-where in there does it say use root <--- but it says there [18:51] verysoftoiletppr: i would never use a software which will interacte with 1000 of tcp connections directly with my system from source because i will not get security updates === dpac is now known as dpac|away [18:51] iceroot I wasn't using, just testing [18:51] but thanks for the tip [18:52] I have a Compaq NC6220 with Ubuntu 12.10 32-bit installed.

I have two computers, and one modem. one of the computers have 2 lan cards. one is hooked to modem (192.168.1.100) and the other one is hooked to the 2nd computer (192.168.0.1). The 2 lan card computer now is a router. I've installed samba, but each computer can't see each other's shared folder. What I'm missing? [19:03] hello ppl.. so I just install 12.10 and unlucky enough to hit the xorg bug mentioned here https://bugs.launchpad.net/ubuntu/+source/xorg-server/+bug/1068920 .. there is a patch suggested there.. question is how do i apply the patch.. [19:03] tama_: they are on different networks [19:03] Launchpad bug 1068920 in xorg-server (Ubuntu Quantal) "Pointer screen crossings broken in Xorg server 1.13.0 (regression)" [High,Triaged] [19:04] ikonia what should I do? plug out one of the cable? [19:04] tama_: how is unplugging a cable going to put them on the same network ? === tekgeek_ is now known as tekgeek [19:05] ikonia dunno. I just have no idea how. I want they can share internet connection but at the same time can use samba. [19:05] tama_: they need to be in the same network subnet === blitzkrieg3 is now known as jmleddy [19:06] ikonia what is subnet? netmask? [19:06] tama_: 4 network parts to an ip address [19:06] Hi there, i need some help and i know is something easy but i am a noob [19:06] tama_: each one is a segment [19:07] n [19:07] what is the command to update an Online game in Ubuntu using the program Wine [19:07] tama_: each segment that is different will need to be routed, (basic way of explaining it) [19:07] tama_: so you need to have them on the same network - with only the last segment different [19:08] could someone help? i do not know the command [19:08] i have to update an online game that i run thru Wine but i do not know the command! [19:08] ikonia but one of the ip adress of this 2 lan card computer have the same 3 first part of IP with the other computer. === daniel is now known as Guest3574 [19:09] nkosis, I'm pretty sure it depends on the game, there isn't one universal WINE command to run an update [19:09] tama_: they don't [19:09] ikonia doesn't that means they are on the same subnet? [19:09] tama_: re-read what you pasted [19:09] ok that works now! Thanks a lot!!!! [19:09] The game is Eve Online, and i run it thru wine, but now when opening the game, needs to be updated manually how do i do it? [19:10] ikonia so I should stop using the 2 lan card computer as a router? [19:10] i tried "sudo apt-get update eve.exe" [19:10] didnt work [19:10] nkosis: that will not work [19:10] nkosis, check the WineHQ page on Eve to see how other people have updated: http://appdb.winehq.org/objectManager.php?sClass=version&iId=25823 [19:10] nkosis: apt-get is nothing to do with wine [19:10] tama_: just approach it logcially [19:10] but then is there another way I can share the internet between the computers? [19:11] tama_: you need computer a and b to be on the same network - if another computer needs another interface, that's fine and not a problem, but it must not be the routable interface for the other computer [19:11] stiltzkin thanks for your help, let me have a look at it === prayas is now known as yash [19:13] nkosis, protip though: don't ask for wine support here, this channel is just for Ubuntu.

[19:33] in my system ubuntu has suddenly stopped detecting the custom key shortcuts [19:33] Edmond: "better" is a matter of opinion.. most linux os distros provide a live CD where you can easily check them out first beore installing.. try ubuntu live and xubuntu.. lubuntu.. etc [19:34] as well as the volume keys are notworking [19:34] sicko: ask the arch support. [19:34] i also keep getting fixing recursive fault but reboot is needed, under the recovery mode [19:34] theprogrammer: i would just logout and backin and test.. try as another user and go from there [19:35] For the second time in a week, all my menus are appearing behind windows (global, right-click, chrome bookmarks et al.). Has anyone else seen this in 12.04? I didn't find a bug listing yet [19:35] holstein: thanks that was the info i needed.

[19:36] @holstein : i havetried loggin out, from another user, changing them in config files [19:36] but nothing works [19:37] sicko, arch uses a command line interface to install and there are approximatley 25or so steps , for a new linux user it can be duanting altho there are several tutorials you follow if you research [19:37] theprogrammer: it doesnt work as expected as another user? [19:37] well i guess ill format and reinstall [19:37] fun fun [19:37] they dont work at all [19:38] theprogrammer: they, being the shortcuts and hotkeys? dont work in a newly created user account?

[19:41] theprogrammer, do you have a Logitech G-series keyboard? [19:41] it seems that my system is raeading keyboard keys in wrong way, as in it should say XF86VoulmeUp bu it just says VolumeUp [19:42] penth: nope, it is laptop integrated keyboard [19:43] Has anyone else had problems with Unity displaying menus behind the windows?

I was using inSSIDer for Windows, but their version of for Linux is in beta. Could anyone give me some suggestions of what they use? [19:49] PlastikSpork: for what purpose? [19:49] PlastikSpork: kismet, aircrack-ng etc. [19:50] I want a graphical user interface.. I've used aircrack before but its all text [19:50] PlastikSpork: if that is what you are looking into, just install backtrack. why try to remake it from ubuntu? backtrack is based on ubuntu [19:50] PlastikSpork: backtrack 5 r3 has various graphical front-tnds for its tools [19:51] PlastikSpork: but in all honestly if you can't do it from terminal you have little business fiddling with it [19:52] ntzrmtthihu777 I've used backtrack before but my purpose is not to hack wifi networks... I want a tool to scan to see which channel to use best === motto is now known as m8 [19:52] PlastikSpork: bt5 has stuff for that. hell use wicd if you gotta [19:54] ntzrmtthihu777: thanks for the suggestions.

[20:00] alainus: Obvious question, but are you using a livecd/usb, you can't change mounted partitions [20:01] ah. but i plan to install ubuntu again from the minimal cd... can i choose to enlarge the main partition then ? [20:02] alainus: I usually go for a 16gb /, as much swap as I feel is needed, and the rest as /home [20:03] I get this error a lot [20:03] Failed to open VDPAU backend libvdpau_r600.so: cannot open shared object file: No such file or directory [20:03] but I have no idea where it is coming from [20:03] any ideas?

[20:03] in a terminal [20:03] yes [20:03] leshaste, i think it has to do with graphic card [20:04] leshaste: it cannot find the right librarry, you should likely install libvdpau* somethin or another === harry is now known as Guest15163 [20:04] ntzrmtthihu777, ok.. silly it doesn't name the applicaiton in the error message [20:04] that would seem a no brainer to me [20:04] :) [20:05] "Gtk couldn't be initialized" matplotlib [20:05] leshaste: yeah, just gotta follow the breadcrumbs [20:05] :) === Guest15163 is now known as xerman [20:06] warning to all ubuntu users: never let your machine shutdown during an update.

I am copying a folder of around 26gb from d: to /home and getting a file transfer speed of aroung 600 kbps (started with around 8 mbps). is it usual or can i increase it somways out? [20:09] elixir: at times fast is not good, errors can occur [20:09] elixir: sometimes things are slow for the sake of safety, "being careful" [20:09] ntzrmtthihu777: agreed :) but right now 600kbps only :( [20:10] ntzrmtthihu777: thats quite convincing. :) [20:10] elixir: samba? local mount? different hdds? what load? (top)? [20:10] elixir: we need more useful infos [20:10] elixir: I use dd alot for copying, and I always set it for a slower speed on important things [20:11] how to stop firefox from upgrading ? [20:11] beboj: firefox itself (from the repos) will not update itself [20:11] beboj: that is part of the software-center === BradCrittenden is now known as bac [20:12] iceroot: Yes local mount. Copying from D:/ (mounted) to my home folder. What is load(top) and samba? [20:12] elixir: top will show you all your processes and the cpu load [20:12] elixir: its a terminal command [20:12] ntzrmtthihu777: possible that i am getting such low speed for the first time, so was pretty shocked. [20:12] elixir: is your home-folder encrypted? [20:12] wow, lost software center in that fiasco [20:13] elixir: there can be so many reasons why it is that slow === ericab_away is now known as ericab [20:13] elixir: We don't use "Drive letters" in GNU/linux. What is "D:/"? Is it a partition on a flash drive? What type of media is your /home/ on? What filesystem?

[20:15] beboj: you dont want to disable updates for your browser [20:15] beboj: because these updates are security updates [20:15] Doesn't anyone know how I can save visudo if I have opened it using gksudo visudo?? [20:15] iceroot: can you hide a filesystem from a certain boot? say I have precise and mint on two separate / partitions, can I hide mint's / from precise and vice versa? [20:15] ntzrmtthihu777: only with encryption [20:16] ntzrmtthihu777: everything else can be mounted [20:16] elisa87: I dont think you shoulda used gksudo for visudo [20:16] Jordan_U: Ok, i'll take care of it in future, yes it is a seperate partition. (I've installed my ubuntu in a seperate dedicated partition). I am on /home [20:16] i have 1 TB HDD i5-3570k 8GB 1600Mhz with ubuntu 12.04 server and if somebody wanna account or testing somthing msg me [20:16] ntzrmtthihu777: so what should I use for editing visudo? [20:16] Jordan_U: how do i check filesyaytem ? Its a frequent question I come across. [20:17] elixir: you have an ntfs mount and reading files from the hdd and also you want to write data to the hdd, that will make is slower [20:17] iceroot: I just don't want said partitions to show up in my file managers, etc [20:17] elisa87: What text editor did visudo start? (The default in Ubuntu is nano) [20:17] elixir: i would say 600KByte/s is slow but i dont think that it is worth to debug it further [20:17] ntzrmtthihu777: dont mount them [20:17] ntzrmtthihu777: then they are not shown [20:18] Jordan_U: I don't know! [20:18] iceroot: I dont mount them [20:18] iceroot: ohh ! ok. not an issue then ! [20:18] ntzrmtthihu777: have a look at /etc/fstab if they are mounted there, if not have a look at the gnome automounter and tell it to not mount them automaticly [20:18] elisa87: Two possible ways are to run "mount" which lists all mounted filesystems with information about each, and "sudo blkid" which lists information about all filesystems that can be detected (mounted or not). [20:18] elixir: ^ [20:18] elisa87: Sorry, my last comment wasn't meant for you :) === dark3n|off is now known as dark3n [20:19] iceroot: I know what's in fstab, I set it myself. how do I check gnome-automounter?

[20:21] is there any other way for editing visudo rather than gksudo? [20:22] elisa87: use sudo visudo [20:22] elixir: fuse, like ntfs-3g etc. [20:22] then press ctrl+x [20:22] ntzrmtthihu777: sudo visudo [20:22] visudo: /etc/sudoers busy, try again later [20:22] llutz: thanks, heard of it for the first tim. :) [20:22] elisa87: First of all, you're not "editing visudo" you're editing /etc/sudoers using the utility "visudo". And frankly, from your questions you probably shouldn't be editing /etc/sudoers at all. What is your end goal? [20:22] *time [20:23] hello, where can i find a beginners guide?

I've just installed Ubuntu alongside an existing Linux system and I believe I need to chainload another instance of GRUB [20:23] it's not working [20:23] I have an ubuntu virtualbox vm serving an apache2 virtual host, so when I'm in the vm, I can type dev.mysite.com in the browser and hit it that way, any idea how I can hit the site outside the vm in the windows host? [20:23] Is there a preference for disabling the "Overlay" scrollbars? The widget always seems to pop-up over the end of a window when I want to resize it or when I want to click into the trough like in Eclipse. [20:23] I want to create a user! [20:23] elisa87: damn, do you have another editor open? [20:23] Fleuv, http://ubuntu-manual.org/ and http://fullcirclemagazine.org/ is a good start [20:23] it's ok [20:23] This is due to the fact that the existing Linux install is encrypted and resides inside an LVM group. [20:23] jjore: sudo apt-get remove overlay [20:23] stiltzkin: What is the other GNU/Linux system? Is it listed if you run "sudo os-prober"? [20:24] but ctrl+x didn't work using sudo visudo [20:24] ntzrmtthihu777++ [20:24] elisa87: what do you see at the bottob of the vsudo screen? [20:24] stiltzkin: Presumably it has an unencrypted /boot/ though, correct? [20:24] Jordan_U, It's a Fedora system. I'm running into problems because it's inside a LVM group. It has a separate /boot partition on /dev/sda3 [20:24] jjore: I frakken hate those things [20:24] Jordan_U, correct [20:24] Also on my terminal, it is by default written: "elixir@elixir" : Is there a way to change it (username and computername) ? [20:25] elixir: yes, not sure how. you have to edit the hosts files to change the pc name, google it a bit [20:25] hi, i have an ubuntu lamp server that's crashing and was hoping someone could help me diagnose why [20:25] Fleuv, https://help.ubuntu.com/community/Beginners/FAQ but why can't you use google like I just did [20:25] !ubuntu-server > ntzrmtthihu777 [20:25] ntzrmtthihu777, please see my private message [20:26] is there something that tags mp3s based on the audio contents? [20:26] ntzrmtthihu777: okay ! [20:26] [ESC ^X unbound] ntzrmtthihu777 === terryh is now known as terry-lunch [20:26] hit escape, what now? [20:27] leshaste: yeah, but I find that most linux audio taggers wreck them. [20:27] ntzrmtthihu777: thanks :) otherwise if anyone sure of it, please guide. [20:27] leshaste: I use Mp3tag under wine [20:27] useradd -m -s /bin/bash {user1,user2,user3} Will this work? [20:27] KI4RO sorry my i didn't explain my question correctly: Where can I find a good CLI-only! ubuntu 12.04 lts server beginner guide [20:27] Jordan_U, I've tried doing "mount /dev/mapper/blah blah blah /mnt", then "mount /dev/sda3 /mnt/boot" and then "grub-install --recheck --root-directory /mnt /dev/sda," but that has not worked. It installs but then when I reboot I just get a plain GRUB prompt, no menu [20:27] picard? [20:27] Pls help when i type lsb_realese i have a problem [20:27] No LSB modules are available. [20:28] lehmae: I thinks so [20:28] demonoid_com: Thats normal. type lsb_release -a [20:28] Pici ohhh yes 10x [20:29] stiltzkin: Create a file /boot/grub/custom.cfg with the contents: http://pastebin.ubuntu.com/5588698/ [20:29] if any of you care you can see my initial impressions of ubuntu on the Nexus 4: http://www.geordienorman.com/initial-impressions-of-ubuntu-on-nexus-4/ [20:29] leshaste: I keep all my music arranged as ~/Artist/Album (year)/01. track.mp3, and mp3tag can tag based on the dir structure, so it works very well [20:30] ntzrmtthihu777, does it do content based tagging? [20:30] Jordan_U, okay, that sounds good...but how can I install GRUB to detect only Ubuntu again? I'm assuming I do a grub-install with the root directory of /, where I installed Ubuntu? [20:30] leshaste: as in based on how the music sounds? [20:30] stiltzkin: That's because Fedora modifies grub to use "/boot/grub2/" rather than "/boot/grub/" so when you install grub from Ubuntu it won't find and use the /boot/grub2/grub.cfg that Fedora produced. [20:30] Jordan_U, ahhhhhhhhh OK [20:30] ntzrmtthihu777, no.. picard does it :) [20:30] audio fingerprinting [20:31] it looks up the track basically [20:31] stiltzkin: Correct (though --root-directory is deprecated in favor of --boot-directory in newer versions of grub). [20:31] Jordan_U, so the commands I issued were correct? I'm just confused why I get no menu entries then, I would expect to get Ubuntu only, and no Fedora [20:31] Jordan_U: so would makeing a /boot/grub/ dir with a symlink to the grub2/grub.cfg would do it? [20:31] Jordan_U, instead I get no menu at all [20:31] how can I add a user without editing visudo?? it's taking forever to learn how to save sth in visudo and apparently no one knows here! [20:31] when I did visudo it brought up nano [20:32] Jordan_U, nevermind, that was a dumb question. I get what you're saying. [20:32] ntzrmtthihu777: Yes, but I'd consider it an ugly work around that would likely lead to confusion in the future. [20:32] nano saves with ctrl+x [20:32] elisa87, visudo is for adding users special permissions [20:32] is there any other way? [20:32] later all [20:33] elisa87: Just use gnome-control-center's user creation and modification tool. [20:34] ntzrmtthihu777, Jordan_U, iceroot: the speed decreased till 400 kbps and is going on decreasing, should I just let it do its own way? [20:34] how can I go to "Go into gnome-control-center user accounts"? [20:35] elisa87: If you're using Unity, then in the search entry in the dash type "add user". Then click on "User Accounts". [20:36] I have somehow removed the workspace switcher from the unity bar. How do I put it back? [20:36] elisa87: Please pastebin the output of "sudo blkid" and "mount". [20:36] Jordan_U, what's the easiest way to find the UUID of my fedora install? If I do fdisk -l it shows "/dev/mapper/udisk-luks-uuid-xxxxxxxxxx-uid999," is that what I want? [20:37] stiltzkin: No, that's the LUKS UUID of your encrypted root filesystem. "sudo blkid" should show you the filesystem UUID of your /boot/ partition. [20:37] Jordan_U: http://paste.ubuntu.com/5588717/ [20:37] Jordan_U, thanks :) [20:37] stiltzkin: You're welcome. [20:39] elisa87: The reason that copying is so slow is that your home directory is being mounted via a network filesystem. [20:39] elisa87: Any copy to your home directory will only be as fast as your internet connection. [20:39] after I send a process to the background like "gedit &" and when after executing I close the terminal window , gedit will close either. how to prevent it? [20:40] levo: use "gedit & disown", or use "nohup gedit", or use screen or tmux [20:41] jrib: thanks === essomba84_ is now known as essomba84 [20:41] elisa87: Do you understand? [20:42] I have somehow removed the workspace switcher from the unity bar. How do I put it back? [20:42] elisa87: The reason that it appeared to be going faster initially is that the writes were being cached in RAM, so until the cache filled up the copy appeared to be going as fast as you could read from the source, even though you weren't writing to the destination that fast. === puff` is now known as puff [20:43] Jordan_U: is there any fix to that? [20:44] elisa87: Do you undestand what I'm saying about your home directory being a networked filesystem? [20:46] Jordan_U, one more question - where am I adding this menu entry - directly to my grub.cfg? It says not to edit the file directly but I assume this is fine. [20:47] guys i tried to install rvm on ubuntu 12.10 but i am getting error( sudo apt-get install ruby-rvm )Unable to locate package ruby-rvm === tvoss is now known as tvoss|eod [20:50] Jordan_U, nevermind, rebooting.

[20:55] do-release-upgrade [20:55] Jordan_U, worked perfectly, thanks very much for your help :) [20:55] stiltzkin: You're welcome :) [20:55] that was much easier than expected haha [20:55] cheers. [20:55] sudo apt-get dist-upgrade wont show me any updates === K00p is now known as k00pe [20:57] nearst: if i launch that command my pc will explode?

[21:11] pressing F5 never refreshes anything and instead does some system thing with the keyboard [21:11] JugglerLKR: I'm sorry, i'm tapped out. [21:11] similarly, F2 never renames any files/folders. Instead, it just changes screen brightness [21:12] ModusPwnens, mac ? [21:12] what is the most stable version of nvidia driver to install on ubuntu 12.04.2? I had repeated problem with 304 and 310, so I am using noveau now [21:12] no, this is on PC [21:12] JugglerLKR: what if you take screen out of .bash_whatever so it doesn't auto start? Admittedly, i haven't touched a new ubuntu in a while [21:12] ubuntu version 12.04 [21:12] was [21:13] Is Ubuntu just for computer geeks or do any normal people use it too?

Ive i use a different keyboard, application shortcuts actually work [21:16] auronandace: 18 year old who likes watching videos, and works in a shop for example but uses it for home use [21:17] jacklk: then yes, "normal people" use ubuntu [21:21] Hi === matthew is now known as Guest61087 [21:21] HI [21:22] as the ubuntu mobile out yet for android?

[21:31] Jeepbeats I deleted /var/lib/dpkg/info [21:31] Jordan_U I deleted /var/lib/dpkg/info [21:31] I need to restore it [21:31] [21:31] the only package missing information now is libc6 [21:32] verysoftoiletppr: We told you to reinstall last time you were here. [21:32] Pici I know [21:32] that is not good enough [21:33] Pici what I really want it to reinstall libc6 [21:33] verysoftoiletppr: install libc7 [21:33] jacklk can that be used as replacement for libc6? [21:33] verysoftoiletppr, sudo apt-get install --reinstall libc6 [21:34] verysoftoiletppr: yes it is just newer [21:34] !joke [21:34] You might think your joke is funny, but you may confuse new users who follow your advice or irritate people who attempt to answer your question. [21:34] nearst that doesn't work [21:34] verysoftoiletppr: what do you need it for anyway? [21:34] jacklk you are right, I will just delete it.. [21:34] verysoftoiletppr, try remove purge then install it back [21:34] I don't need it anyway [21:35] verysoftoiletppr: exactly [21:35] I never have to worry about packages like that.. [21:35] nearst can't remove it [21:35] verysoftoiletppr: purge? [21:35] if I remove it nothing will work [21:36] verysoftoiletppr, why cant remove ? compile from binary ? dpkg -l | grep libc6 [21:36] well keep it installed then :) [21:36] so i upload this to my phone, and boot in bootloader?

(minimzing, maximizing or . . ) [21:47] verysoftoiletppr: its rather simple: if you are at the point where you need to reinstall libc6 then your system is broken, you really should reinstall ubuntu [21:47] as you have been told [21:47] do you know why? [21:47] source ~/.bashrc [21:47] H: command not found [21:48] elisa87: you have "H:" in your bashrc [21:48] auronandace what you mean with "is broken" [21:48] g [21:48] verysoftoiletppr: the most important package is libc6, if that is broken you are lost [21:48] verysoftoiletppr: as we told you since hours [21:49] is there a software were i can install it from?

[22:18] apt-get install nvidia-common -y [22:18] M1DLG: here is the procedure 1.- download the Driver and set execution permits. 2.- ctrl + alt +f1 to open a tty terminal 3.- sudo /etc/init.d/ligthdm stop 4.-sudo sh NVIDIA.name.of.your.driver 5.- sudo reboot [22:18] oops [22:18] I got this error, W: Not using locking for read only lock file /var/lib/dpkg/lock [22:18] evolve [22:18] ok kion, let me try [22:19] M1DLG: if you follow my procedure, you will not be able to use IRC chat while on the terminal [22:19] M1DLG: until you reboot [22:19] will move that over to the other PC. unfortunatly i'm slow typest [22:20] jackyyll you there [22:21] um [22:22] ok, rady [22:22] *Ready === mhall119|afk is now known as mhall119 [22:25] hey guys when you do a run command like smb://computer_name it fails [22:25] But if you do like nautilis smb://computer_name it work [22:25] Is there a way to set it to default to nautalis or nemo when you run smb:// ? [22:26] wachpwnski: because smb:// is not a command, its a protocol === Chikore is now known as Shuck [22:27] s0nee: can i set up an alias or something? [22:27] wachpwnski: just like http:// can be opened in a browser only [22:27] wachpwnski: you should be able to run something like nautilus smb://computer_name [22:28] yah i can, but is there a way I can set an alias? [22:28] wachpwnski: so you want to automatically open nautilus whenever you type smb://something ? [22:29] # [22:29] When I sudo my command it can't find it, and if I don't sudo it, it can, what is going on? http://www.bpaste.net/show/FRkqBCykJui5W3Fsfc0S/ [22:29] s0nee: yes [22:29] technically nemo, but maybe ask in bash [22:30] hi, i have a webserver running on ubuntu 12.04 with nginx, and im following a tutorial. In the tutorial i have to make modifications to iptables, but i never used it before and im not sure if i have them. [22:31] how can I include two files in a makefile using include ? [22:32] wachpwnski: i don't think you can type smb://something in a shell because the part "//" is not permitted in a command/file name anyway [22:33] there has to be a regex or something when you type smb://*anything* it runs nemo smb://*anything* === reverendp_ is now known as reverendp [22:37] iceroot everything is fixed now [22:37] Hi all. I have big fps drops on Ubuntu 12.04 64 bit and 12.10 64bit with Ati Radeon HD 5670 eith the latest fglrx drivers. How to fix this? [22:38] my pc is in a worse condition than i thought. i need to check the hdd for errors but dont know how. [22:38] just had to copy /var/lib/dpkg/info/libc6:amd64.list from another system and reinstall libc6 [22:38] iceroot next time someone has a similar problem... [22:38] m1dlgALT: what happened? [22:41] ive been freezing up and it will reboot no warning, since i first installed the drivers for my video card. and teh last coupe of times it tries to check the drve but it just reboots then gets to the desktop. as it does i get loads of errors refering to corrupt files and that it's unable to access/find /tmp [22:41] When i restart system, and enter in Steam game, game works fine, but when I exit the game and enter again in game, i have big fps drops [22:41] :( [22:41] http://paste.ubuntu.com/5588985/ I have these two files but I receive the following error: make --> /home/jalal/NVIDIA_GPU_Computing_SDK/C/common/inc/cutil.h:1: *** missing separator. Stop. [22:41] How to fix this? [22:42] last time i tried ubuntu it was gnome and it just worked, nothing was a problem. this time i have't enjoyed it. [22:44] m1dlgALT: I don't understand... Did the Nvidia drivers got installed? [22:44] m1dlgALT: Are you using a laptop? === nbdy is now known as nobotty [22:44] PC [22:45] <__dan__> hi all, hope you're having a good evening or whatever it is for you [22:45] A PC could mean a laptop [22:45] <__dan__> i have a question regarding hdparm [22:45] <__dan__> with regard to the --write-sector flag - is there any way of telling hdparm to do that for every sector on the drive? [22:46] how do i tell grub to do no apci at boot? [22:46] I installed the nvidia drivers yesterday, I started stam and it tells me he version i installed was not high enough and steam closes. so I wanted to upgrade them, but I have mor serious issues of corrupt files on the drive [22:46] <__dan__> Taev: add noacpi boot flag i think [22:46] OK PC = desktop [22:46] I got an old computer with Pentium-M 1.2Ghz and 768Mram, which ubuntu is "suitable" for this obsolete hardware? [22:46] <__dan__> there are a few others too like nolapic etc [22:47] Got a question: Ubuntu 12.10, updated about five minutes ago. The longer I leave my Ubuntu boxes running, the more IPv6 addresses they accumulate. Any notion why this might be? And yes, my ISP is IPv6, and I'm getting the addresses from them, apparently through my Belkin firewall/router/AP. [22:47] In your terms it might, but in most people's it does not [22:47] <__dan__> pzn: i would try xubuntu [22:47] <__dan__> pzn: kubuntu also has low-fat-settings if you're a kde fan but lack of memory would be troublesome i think [22:48] <__dan__> pzn: i would try xubuntu or lubuntu [22:53] <__dan__> anyone help with my hdparm question? [22:53] <__dan__> i really want to set this drive on fire [22:53] <__dan__> its gonna be funny [22:53] __dan__, thanks, I'll try xubuntu [22:53] <__dan__> good luck :) === mpmc is now known as mpmc|Away [22:54] __dan__, take a look in what I got :-) an old panasonic cf-29 toughbook :-) [22:54] <__dan__> haha i've seen a few of those [22:55] <__dan__> be careful you don't hurt yourself picking it up ;) [22:55] Hmm my install CD for 12.4 says the CD was built 2010. Can this be correct? [22:56] <__dan__> no, Judgen [22:56] This is an installation system for Ubuntu 12.04. It was built on 20101020ubuntu136. [22:56] Is the first line even [22:56] <__dan__> but if you're doing a fresh install it might be worth downloading the 12.04.2 iso as you will get a newer kernel [22:57] I do not have another empty CD and all those new isos seems to have EFI stuff on them, and wont boot after installation. [22:57] only the efi-free isos boot after the install for me [22:58] <__dan__> how odd, i have never had that problem === LordBidoof is now known as Xiudo === Xiudo is now known as XiuDo [22:59] It writes ubuntu in the device boot option permanently though.. i have no idea how to get rid of it from there. [22:59] I wish EFI was never invented [23:00] I do because then my Macbook would not work :( [23:00] ryebread761: that is why macs suck, I will never ever buy anything mac again === tonywin is now known as milesmaverick [23:01] Eh, neither will I likely, but it's what I have now and besides it not working with Linux well, I like it :) [23:02] How to boot to new kernal when restarting ubuntu? [23:03] hey guys, im n a bit of a pickle, i was trying to uinstall ubuntu on my main desktop so being the genius i am i just re-formatted, but apparently grub is still here, attempting to login to my windows disk results in grub telling me that it is an unkown filesystem, and opening the grub rescue promp === debiantoruser is now known as Guest35569 [23:04] maxibyte: ask ##windows how to restore your mbr [23:04] i tried using a bootable usb to format the rest, however gparted says the partition is still in use and has a key icon next to it [23:04] maxibyte: you don't want ubuntu anymore right? [23:04] jrib: i know how to restore my MBR but that requires me to boot into my install cd, which is currently impossible due to grub [23:05] not right now, perhaps i will dual boot later, but ive been wrestling with my computer all day trying to fix it [23:05] For the second time in a week, all my menus are appearing behind windows (global, right-click, chrome bookmarks et al.). Has anyone else seen this in 12.04? I didn't find a bug listing yet [23:05] maxibyte: that shouldn't be the case. Your computer should boot from the cd before trying grub. You need to configure your bios to do so [23:05] i tell it to boot from the cd. [23:05] and then it tells me "unknown filesystem" [23:05] maxibyte: did it boot from the cd? [23:05] maybe its my boot order [23:05] maxibyte: yes, check that [23:05] i dont know jrib, because it says unknown filesystem [23:05] That sounds more like a bad cd [23:05] brb [23:05] nope [23:06] the cd worked fine [23:06] maxibyte: Please don't flood; use http://paste.ubuntu.com to paste; don't use Enter as punctuation. [23:06] maxibyte: what cd by the way? [23:06] until i formatted my main partition [23:06] windows 7 [23:06] its just an install disk [23:06] ... [23:06] anyays, brb [23:08] so here is one, ubuntu can get irus's right?? [23:08] virus [23:08] i suppose, Wrong! [23:08] <__dan__> generally you dont have to worry about viruses [23:09] so what about jave, flash, ect? [23:09] no need to worry [23:09] if I install ubuntu-server, how can I install gnome2? [23:09] zimzum77: ubuntu's much more resilient to attacks than windows, but that doesn't give you an excuse to be dumbarse with it. just be careful with what you do [23:10] <__dan__> haha words to live by [23:10] ryebread761: I will install linux on my Macbook via Virtualbox [23:10] Oh i am, i just got a funky lag happening, tring to figure it out === LaserShark is now known as ZombieShark [23:10] <__dan__> there are tools like rkhunter [23:11] <__dan__> check for rootkits [23:11] now the 1,000,000$ Ques. how to find rootkit? [23:12] <__dan__> [23:10] <__dan__> there are tools like rkhunter [23:12] <__dan__> :) [23:12] sudo apt-get install rkhunter?? [23:13] <__dan__> should be, yeah [23:13] thx [23:13] <__dan__> been a while since i used it myself [23:13] <__dan__> it's a command line tool but i think you just run it [23:14] ok, ima learning so , i need to figure out to read it all lol [23:14] <__dan__> sure :) [23:14] test [23:15] I installed ubuntu with UK English keyboard by accident, I changed it from preferences and its fine in Gnome, but not in command line mode (| key is ~) [23:15] how can I change this? [23:16] (i need US english) [23:16] <__dan__> if you're just experiencing slowdown / teh lagg etc, first place i would look is system monitor / top command [23:17] im on the ubuntu install, at the select and install software menu and its been stuck at 97% "cleaning up" for awhile, is there a way i can check to see if the install is hung? [23:18] __dan__, usually firefox is top [23:18] when this happens [23:18] After fresh install, want to restore crontab from backup. What file should I look for? [23:18] <__dan__> donsd: /etc/crontab [23:19] <__dan__> donsd: you may also want to check the cron.* directories [23:19] <__dan__> Taev: try CTRL-ALT-F1, F2 .. etc [23:19] <__dan__> Taev: you can switch text consoles, i think it's F3 or F4 that's the install log [23:19] i did that, and its working [23:19] but thanks [23:20] <__dan__> last few lines of the log not show anything useful? [23:20] hi, i have to change my harddisk (with ubuntu 12.04 installed) to another computer, what should i have to do to get sound, microphone,.. working? [23:21] <__dan__> tirengarfio: usually ubuntu is much more understanding in such circumstances, you should just be able to switch the hard drive over and boot it up [23:21] <__dan__> tirengarfio: use common sense though - make a working verifiable backup, dont listen to anything anyone tells you on the internet, etc etc ;) [23:22] Hi, I'm trying to connect to a VPN using Ubuntu. I have a VPN config exported from OSX ( https://gist.github.com/duncan-bayne/5095315 ) but can't figure out what settings I need in NetworkManager. [23:22] __dan__ thanks, /etc/crontab is not it. I'm looking for the one that has all my entries. [23:22] __dan__: so do you think everything will work without installing anything? [23:22] <__dan__> tirengarfio: i would certainly try it [23:23] <__dan__> donsd: try looking in /etc/cron.d/ [23:23] where does the display system settings get its screen names? my primary screen shows up as something wrong and i wanted to look into it to make sure its not something of a bigger issue [23:24] __dan__ thanks. I will look in the directories. === Vampire0_ is now known as Vampire0 [23:25] One more: i am thinking about buying this mother board: http://www.evga.com/Products/Product.aspx?pn=111-IB-E692-KR Im wondering if i will have any problem of compatibility with the latest ubuntu versions.. [23:27] what about the ubuntu's compatibility in general with hardware?

[23:31] I'm setting up automatic updates on one of my home servers and I'm having difficulty deciding if I should only enable the security repository or the if I should include updates as well. What is the difference between the two? [23:32] <__dan__> no problem tirengarfio :) [23:32] I am getting cp: cannot stats `/path/root/*`: no such file or dir.. [23:32] but it is deffo in /path/root/ exist [23:33] Ice_Strike: permissions? [23:33] Ice_Strike: deffo permissions... [23:34] but i did sudo [23:34] where is /path/root? [23:34] nfs? [23:39] Alives No, on same disk [23:39] can you see and access the files? [23:40] <__dan__> could try a slash after the second /root [23:40] <__dan__> think u got bigger problems but i always do it that way [23:40] <__dan__> if i remember correctly [23:40] * __dan__ has been spoiled by dolphin [23:41] cp -R /path/root/ /root [23:41] <__dan__> no [23:41] this work though [23:41] <__dan__> cp -R /path/root/* /root/ [23:41] but not with * [23:41] yes i tried that [23:43] <__dan__> you're in as root? or u have sudo in front of that command? [23:43] sudo [23:44] <__dan__> i just did that and it worked for me [23:45] i run kubuntu12.10 amd64 on a thinkpad t61p. powertop shows that not all possible tunables are tuned by default. what is the recommened way of making ubuntu tune those automatically at startup? [23:46] why does my display dim on occassion even during use? i have to wait until it un-dims before i can do anything else - happens on all my pc's - some using 12.04 and some using 12.10 and one using lubuntu [23:46] <__dan__> Ice_Strike: sudo cp -R /home/danmac/.scummvm/* /root/ [23:46] <__dan__> Ice_Strike: dumps all files and directories from that directory into /root [23:46] <__dan__> Ice_Strike: on my machine ... ur doing something wrong ;) [23:47] what is the next newq project? [23:47] <__dan__> p0s: there is a guide somewhere i saw a while back that will help you with that, have a google [23:47] __dan__: remember any suitable keywords i could use? [23:47] <__dan__> just having a look for you now [23:48] <__dan__> "To help you make the changes permanent, PowerTOP displays the exact command it runs to perform this optimization. Add the command to your /etc/rc.local file with your preferred text editor so that it takes effect every time that the computer starts." [23:49] <__dan__> http://askubuntu.com/questions/112705/how-do-i-make-powertop-changes-permanent [23:51] __dan__: mmh ok nice thank you. however i would prefer to install a package which has the job of doing this. in other words: i can't imagine that there is no standard way of doing this automatically via a daemon/package with startup scripts [23:51] <__dan__> p0s: when you write one, let me know I will install it too ;) [23:51] __dan__: :| [23:52] so i did, sudo apt-get instll rkhunter, now it says "postfix config" please select mail server config type, but i can't do anything at this point. I hit enter but nothing [23:52] <__dan__> zimzum77: lol i think you installed postfix [23:52] <__dan__> zimzum77: maybe the package recommends a mail server [23:53] sudo apt get purge rkhunter [23:53] <__dan__> hahah [23:53] I would like to mount some encfs folders with a script and THEN be able to manage them with Cryptkeeper during a session. Could someone help me (a) give commands to Cryptkeeper, rather than encfs, with a script; or (b) issue mount commands with encfs in a way that Cryptkeeper will recognize? [23:53] actually, what kind of mail?? [23:54] <__dan__> zimzum77: rkhunter can be configured to send emails when the checks are scheduled [23:55] <__dan__> zimzum77: i just looked at the package and if you install with recommends it will probably install default mail transport agent which in your case seems to be postfix [23:55] (in case above was not clear): At the moment, if I encfs mount a folder in terminal, even if the source and mountpoint are in Cryptkeeper's directory, Cryptkeeper does not seem to know that it's mounted (no check mark appears, for example) [23:55] <__dan__> MoPac: not familiar with cryptkeeper sorry [23:56] ok, now question is, when i ran the line , is that bit of info put in to my pc, or does it just stop and retain itself [23:56] <__dan__> zimzum77: dont understand your last line sorry [23:57] i'm saying,did it delete the info that download or do i have bits of the program sitting somewhare [23:57] womewhere [23:57] haha can't type [23:57] : ) [23:57] <__dan__> you could always try apt-cache policy rkhunter [23:58] and that;ll do?? [23:58] <__dan__> if it comes back with "Installed: (none)" then it isnt installed [23:58] <__dan__> i would also check to see if postfix is installed in the same way [23:58] cool i try that === matt_ is now known as Guest41961 [23:58] <__dan__> and in future please look at the list of packages you are about to install :) [23:59] right on thx for tip [23:59] <__dan__> consider using aptitude - that makes things a little easier to understand === wedgwood is now known as wedgwood_away [23:59] <__dan__> sure, anytime :)
