Bray90820when i ran sudo update-grub i don't think so00:00
ntzrmtthihu777mount it and check00:00
=== resba|Out is now known as resba
Bray90820ubuntu is /dev/sda1 and android is /dev/sda300:00
Bray90820check what00:00
=== [Saint_] is now known as [Saint]
ntzrmtthihu777Bray90820: I mean try again00:00
Bray90820ok00:00
ntzrmtthihu777and this is the x86 android?00:01
Bray90820so i should do it while mounted00:01
Bray90820will try00:01
Bray90820can i do it from a live disk00:01
Bray90820well waite00:01
ntzrmtthihu777yeah, I think so.00:01
bobolopolisVanessaE: there are a few different versions of the fglrx driver available if you enable the precise-proposed repository.  might be worth trying a different version and see if the redering behavior is different00:01
ntzrmtthihu777oh, lol. I forgot you were in a live disc00:01
Bray90820it won't work right now anyways because i still have the android grub00:01
VanessaEoh that's right, I forgot to fiddle with the various repositories.  lemme check that first.00:02
Bray90820ntzrmtthihu777 i need to change from android grub to ubuntu grub00:02
ntzrmtthihu777Bray90820: exactly. Boot-repair shoulda done it, did you check out that ppa?00:03
Bray90820i will right now00:03
oneUbuntu: Where is the portslist located?00:03
=== wedgwood is now known as wedgwood_away
bekksone: Whats a "portslist"?00:03
onebekks: the local file that defines ports00:03
oneGoT_r00t: you got my root00:04
bekksone: /etc/services - which is pretty useless, since it isnt evaluated when an applications tries to open a port.00:04
litropyI'm bored with my box. I want to do something fun. Any ideas?00:04
haryvTo bad ubuntu does not have  a way to select which apps not to installed when the os is instaled.00:04
ntzrmtthihu777Bray90820: sudo add-apt-repository ppa:yannubuntu/boot-repair && sudo apt-get update00:04
VanessaEharyv: the alternate installer gives you a bit more control over that as I recall00:05
ntzrmtthihu777Bray90820: sudo apt-get install -y boot-repair && (boot-repair &)00:05
haryvokay did not know there was a alternative00:05
VanessaEat least, you can select whole categories anyway, which will help pare down the install size somewhat00:05
oneAfter ufw creates iptables rules are they saved and reloaded by iptables or ufw on reboot?00:06
bekksharyv: Using 12.04, you could use the minimal iso.00:06
haryvubuntu is a butifull os. Really supprised there is even twitter archive discussions on the install process showing up on screen.00:06
Bray90820the & represents a new command right?00:06
haryvI started using linux when it was just two or three distros in 199700:06
bekksBray90820: No. & puts a command into the background00:06
VanessaEok, repos enabled and updates installed.  let's see what THIS breaks ;)00:07
ntzrmtthihu777bekks: thank you, I forgot the name00:07
Bray90820so this command should be rub all as one command00:07
Bray90820sudo add-apt-repository ppa:yannubuntu/boot-repair && sudo apt-get update00:07
ntzrmtthihu777yup00:07
Bray90820ok00:07
Bray90820i get you00:07
ntzrmtthihu777and the other after that is done00:07
Bray90820will do that now00:07
bekksBray90820: && is used for "execute cmd1 and if successful, execute cmd2"00:07
Bray90820ahh00:08
VanessaEwell, that had no effect on the subpixel color fringes..00:08
VanessaE(but at least I'm up-to-date again)00:08
Bray90820parentheses should be there right00:09
ntzrmtthihu777Bray90820: as I pasted it00:09
Bray90820ok00:09
Bray90820sorry to ask so many questions00:10
ntzrmtthihu777Bray90820: no prob, its a support channel after all00:10
Bray90820yea00:10
VanessaEI think my issue is that "lcd filtering" on top of the subpixel antialiasing simply is not working00:10
oneUbuntu: suppose someone has gained root access will changing the root password then lock them out or will thier privledges remain until they are disconnected even after updating password?00:10
bekksone: There is no root password.00:11
anonyj00:11
bekks!root | one00:11
ubottuone: Do not try to guess the root password, that is impossible. Instead, realise the truth... there is no root password. Then you will see that it is 'sudo' that grants you access and not the root password. Look at https://help.ubuntu.com/community/RootSudo00:11
ntzrmtthihu777one: interesting question, keep them from getting root access in the first place and it wont happen00:11
onebekks: I modified my system to not use sudo but root00:11
bekksone: Which is a very bad idea.00:12
ntzrmtthihu777one: why.00:12
ntzrmtthihu777bekks: I would not say bad so much as advanced.00:12
onebecause if there is an exploitable program running as the sudo user its easier to gain sudo00:12
bekksntzrmtthihu777: After knowing about the existance of sudo -i, setting a root password is an even more bad idea.00:13
ntzrmtthihu777sudo is better than root. sudo goes away.00:13
ntzrmtthihu777bekks: in some situations you must. backtrack is run solely as root, for instance, because of the nature of its functions00:13
onesudo is just a security risk00:14
ntzrmtthihu777one: and root isnt? isnt that the very basis of your question, the risk posed by root access?00:14
bekksntzrmtthihu777: thats what sudo is designed for. backtrack is a pretty neat example for a bad design.00:14
bastidrazorone: you are a funny man00:14
elisa87what should I install to overcome this error?> regex.hpp: No such file or directory00:14
anonys00:14
onesudo just gives a user root access which may be running exploitable programs00:15
onesudo just gives all memory exploits root00:15
ntzrmtthihu777and root doesn't?00:15
ntzrmtthihu777one: are you high?00:15
oneif root isnt running them then no00:15
anonyroot is like admin in windows00:15
onelook at top00:16
ntzrmtthihu777one: I can do anything root can with sudo00:16
trismelisa87: libboost1.49-dev or possibly an earlier version if you aren't on 12.1000:16
bastidrazori feel the troll00:16
ntzrmtthihu777one: you gotta be high or ignorant.00:16
elisa87trism I am using 12.04 which version should I install? using sudo apt-get or another method?00:16
oneanything in top can have an exploit so giving sudo to the user running most of the processes just makes it more vulnerable00:16
ntzrmtthihu777one: and again full root access is the very same!00:17
elisa87trism: E: Couldn't find any package by regex 'libboost1.49-dev'00:17
trismelisa87: apt-cache search -n boost dev; and see what versions you have00:17
onentzrmtthihu777: but im not running everything as root00:17
Random832are there any SIMPLE (not gimp) paint programs I can use to crop a screenshot?00:17
ntzrmtthihu777Random832: yes, imagemagick00:17
Random832simple and interactive00:18
dakotawulfy Random832 pinta00:18
Random832or tell me how to use imagemagick that will let me do it interactively00:18

Random832gpaint and rgbpaint both don't have crop tools00:18
VanessaETHIS was my problem.00:18
Random832ntzrmtthihu777: yes00:18
ntzrmtthihu777then nope00:18
ntzrmtthihu777Random832: what part are you trying to crop out of a screenshot?00:19
MonkeyAssface123Hello.00:20
escottelisa87, libboost-regex1.49.000:20
escottelisa87, so just apt-get install libboost-regex00:21
VanessaEanyway, one last question:00:21
ntzrmtthihu777VanessaE: yes?00:22
dakotawulfy Random832 try pinta00:22
dakotawulfy  Random832 it is easy00:22
VanessaEWhen I re-installed today, I noticed there were four fglrx options now.  one experimental, one experimental and marked as beta, one normal (this is what I am using now), and one for post-release updates.00:22
VanessaEwhich one should I really be using?00:23
dr_williswhatever one  works for you00:23
dr_willisnormal -> post ->  experimental -> exp Beta.00:24
dr_willisI think is the order of 'age/version'00:24
VanessaEwell what I mean is, is there a point to trying the others?  What should I expect from it?  breakage?  car wrecks?  dogs and cats living together?00:24
dr_willisbetter preformance/support for newer hardware, vs chance of breaking00:25
farukso when is 13.04 Beta 1 coming out?00:26

dr_willisMadkiss:  Huh?00:30
dr_willis13.04 exists.. in testing stages..00:30
ntzrmtthihu777not till 13 -0400:30
VanessaEhm, looks like all of the improvements are geared toward the 7000-series.  I have an HD6870.00:30
dr_willispeople never noticce the version # is the date of release00:30
ntzrmtthihu777heh, well I00:31
ntzrmtthihu777heh, well I'm relatively new to ubuntu, have only seen one new release, quantal00:31
dakotawulfydr_willis cool never realized that00:31
elisa87I installed boost but I am receiving this error: /usr/bin/ld: error: cannot find -lboost_regex00:31
MadkissI am just asking because my ubuntu offered me to "Update to the new Release 13.04" like 15 minutes ago.00:32
trismelisa87: you'll probably need the dev version of the boost library escott mentioned too, in either the 1.46 or 1.48 version (whatever you picked)00:33

Bray90820but when i try to load android from grub it is saying error you need to load the kernel firat01:20
ntzrmtthihu777Bray90820: see? I use a similar technique to load an iso01:20
Bray90820so do you know how i would fix it?01:20
ntzrmtthihu777Bray90820: pastebin your 40_custom01:20
subcooldr_willis, i have it on my 12.04 - fresh. - when i run the program, it goes to fix everything. Then pops up with a :close paackage manager and try again"01:20
Bray90820ok01:20

dr_willisi rarely actually need to RUN the boot-repair tool. ;)01:22
maxpedntzrmtthihu777: thanks for the syntax but i dont want to just copy paste. i will need to do the research to learn what i am doing. for now i suppose i can use a gui on another system to accomplish my orignal task until my command line skills get better.01:22
dr_willisI just have it installed just in case.01:22
Seven_Six_TwoI thought that I was getting EM interference, causing my sound to crackle, but that's not it. Playing a flash video (the same song as a FLAC that I was playing) has no crackle, but both mp3 and flac (audacious and totem) have the crackling sound. Any ideas why? Nothing on my pc has changed, and it certainly hasn't always done this.01:22
ntzrmtthihu777maxped: exactly why do you need it?01:22
dr_willisbbl01:22
maxpedntzrmtthihu777: to copy long random character string url into other app01:23
Seven_Six_TwoI've played with all of my sound options, and ensured that I'm not running anything else, and audacious isn't using too much cpu.01:23
ntzrmtthihu777hmm, you could, instead of the > text.txt, pass it into the next part with |01:24
maxpedntzrmtthihu777: true, but im sure your other idea will work, i just want to make sure i know what i am doing.01:25
Seven_Six_Twothe crackle is on all 5.1 speakers, and only while music is playing in audacious, totem. VLC doesn't do it. neither does flash.01:25
ntzrmtthihu777maxped: lol, true. its an easy trick really. curl -s pulls the source of a page, which would include the links, sed 's|"|\n|g' replaces " with newlines, and grep you know.01:26
maxpedntzrmtthihu777: manpage says curl -s makes curl silent01:27
subcoolhttp://wstaw.org/m/2013/03/07/snapshot1.png01:28
ntzrmtthihu777maxped: yup, curl snatches the source, but -s makes it do it invisibly, you don't want the source for a page streaming across your tty01:28

Seven_Six_Twodr_willis, that would be awesome. lvm for fuse.02:33
purakilightshot02:33
purakion windows02:33
dr_willisonly thing i really  keep on the cloud are my wallpaper images  and comic book files.. in case i want to read them from my phone.02:33
Seven_Six_TwoThat's where I keep all my ultra-secret spy passwords.02:33
ntzrmtthihu777dr_willis: ah so only little things. I back up gb's worth of stuff to the cloud, so I need it to be frugal02:34
ntzrmtthihu777escott: but in particular ~/Dropbox and ~/Ubuntu\ One02:35
dr_willisso far the neat est use of the  'cloud' i saw was to keep Digital books on  via  Calibre - but then aparently  that started getting banned/books deleted. ;(02:35
ntzrmtthihu777heh, really?02:35
dr_willisI find the Space in 'Ubuntu One' to be a bit annoying. ;)02:35
ntzrmtthihu777dr_willis: As do I, I am using a terminal client so it escapes it :/02:35
dr_willisYea. lifehacker had an artical on keeping your Calibre book library on dropbox in the public dir (or somthing) to let you read your books from othe rdevices..  then Dropbox aparently  started removeing peoples libraries.02:36
Seven_Six_TwoI only store a truecrypt container on dropbox.02:36
ntzrmtthihu777dr_willis: waittaminute, dammit I've been doing that!02:36
ntzrmtthihu777dr_willis: gnome-fallback does not use gnome3, right?02:37
dr_willisntzrmtthihu777:  ive not really done it to the  extent the Lifehacker site was showing. I just keep a few books/cbr files oon mine.02:37
dr_willisI dont use gnome fallback.. but i would say  YES it does use gnome302:37
ntzrmtthihu777dr_willis: cbr == <302:37
boldfilterIt does02:37
dr_willisor at least parts of it.02:37
ntzrmtthihu777dr_willis: so nifty!02:38
dr_willisthe next gnome 3.8? it supposed to have an actual gnome2 theme or somthing from what ive seen.02:38
ntzrmtthihu777dr_willis: I hope so, I can't stand unity02:38
dr_willisI perfer gnome-shell  to  the flakey fallback/failsafe/grandfather modes. ;)02:38
dr_willisunity works fine for me..02:38
dr_willis13.04 has some neat features added to it also.02:38
ntzrmtthihu777dr_willis: I'm using a touch-screen pc and I still cant stand it02:38
dr_williscant say i have any issues with it..02:39
boldfilterIts a change02:39
ntzrmtthihu777dr_willis: true, but we are not the same fella02:39

dr_willisnew repositories for what exactly? hossein03:21
ntzrmtthihu777hossein: lucid is no longer supported officially, but you can find out.03:21
hosseinI will write the path of it03:21
hosseinI am a researcher03:21
hosseini need to use others software03:21
hosseinthis is the website03:21
hosseinhttp://gmplib.org03:22

hosseinwow seams so dificult03:22
dr_willisunless the site specifically mentions they have a ppa for lucid.03:22
hosseinas I am new to ubuntu03:22

dr_williswe CAN read more then 3 words on a single line hossein  , no need to hit enter every 3 words...03:23
hosseinI am getting mad :D03:24
ntzrmtthihu777you would be surprised what you can do on a newer release03:24
hosseinI used 12.1003:24
hosseinbut I have to use lucid now03:24
ntzrmtthihu777hossein: try 12.04, its supported for 5 more years03:24
hosseinI cant03:25
ntzrmtthihu777why not?03:25
hosseinthe third party software that I am using is that old that can only work on lucid03:25
ntzrmtthihu777hossein: what does the 3rd party software do03:25
hosseinjust let me know how to add this site as a repository in lucid03:26
dr_willisguess you learn to compile it from source  then.. unless they specifically have a ppa for lucid made up. or packages made for it..03:26
hosseinIt is for robotics03:26

Ububeginhisto: have replaced good with natural sounding .. :)03:48
bcbc2rhenzar: what do you mean it only runs in wubi - because a wubi install is no different from a normal install (apart from the virtual disk and the boot mechanism)03:48
ntzrmtthihu777hossein: you need to replace TARGDIR with the folder you want03:48

ntzrmtthihu777Bray90820: cool, but remember where you are in this, lol03:48
histoUbubegin: You'd have to try the different ones available and see which one sounds "natural" to you; you're asking a very subjective question.03:48
Bray90820ntzrmtthihu777 what do you mean03:48
ntzrmtthihu777Bray90820: I mean remeber the changes you make so if one breaks the process you know how to fix it03:49
Bray90820i always make a backup03:49
rhenzarbcbc2: I will partition my drive and follow guides for dual-boot procedures and the liveCD won't even continue past the opening splash/first few frames. With Wubi, the distro is already installed, but Xubuntu/Lubuntu break after like an hour, default is fine.03:49
histo!nomodeset | rhenzar03:49
ubotturhenzar: 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 parameter03:49
bcbc2rhenzar: what graphics card do you have03:49
NanaHarusuhaib so is it my specs?03:50

rhenzarhisto: ?03:50
rhenzarbcbc2: I just got a radeon 6870, why?03:50
bcbc2rhenzar: see the nomodeset comment03:50
rhenzarbcbc2: I'm new to IRC...03:50
historhenzar: you need to use at least 12.04 and 64bit just to avoid the EFI issue. If you are and experiencing blank screens try the nomodeset option specified above.03:50
Injigoevening!03:51
Guest9947Hello03:51
bcbc2rhenzar: some graphics cards don't have open source drivers and won't boot unless you use nomodeset. After installing you can install a closed source driver for them03:51
rhenzarbcbc2: Okay, but would that still apply if Wubi works completely fine (not talking about the different flavors, those are still buggy for me)03:51
historhenzar: yes wubi is installed inside of the winblows partition booted using windows bootloader03:52
Ububeginhisto: not subjective, some like Speak It ! sound downright robotic...03:52
historhenzar: completely different animal03:52
bcbc2rhenzar: wubi (with Ubuntu) uses a pre-installed disk image. This bypasses ubiquity (the installer) so it's probably not dying because of that. But didn't you say you still have problems?03:52
rhenzarhisto: Okay, thanks.03:52
historhenzar: you could also move from wubi to a full install. but it's kind of a pita if you are new to the game.03:53
rhenzarbcbc2: Yeah, I'll have weird software inconsistencies, like Ubuntu will act differently every time I install it (different widgets will break, like some data is corrupted at some point or something)03:53
LowlymathAnyone willing to help me get my system working?  I've got a dual boot running 12.04.2 and can only get into tty1.  The system has been inactive for a few months and had it's mobo replaced.03:53
bcbc2rhenzar: exactly. You need to run additional-drivers and then install the proper graphics driver03:54
rhenzarbcbc2: I'll install and set up my favorite apps, and things will just start breaking.03:54
bcbc2rhenzar: using nomodeset will get you past the installer for a normal dual boot.03:55
rhenzarbcbc2: Does this also work with other distros? Sorry if it's not too appropriate to the channel, it's just that this is usually the only thing stopping me from my installs.03:55
bcbc2rhenzar: Most likely.03:56
bcbc2rhenzar: see this http://askubuntu.com/q/16207503:56
rhenzarbcbc2: IRC is awesome! I've been struggling with this for a while, actually!03:57
historhenzar: typically it will work. Assuming the other distros are using grub 2. If not you will have to find directions for changing kernel options in their bootloader03:57
rhenzarhisto: Debian-based distros generally use grub 2, though, right?03:57
bcbc2rhenzar: I'm surprised they don't make it a bit easier to install since so many people have radeon/nvidia graphics cards. But... we just report on how to get around it03:58
rhenzarbcbc2: And I'm extremely thankful for that!03:58
hosseinit doesn't work!03:58

ntzrmtthihu777faruk: I only use 16gb for my /root, as much swap as I need, and the rest as /home05:07
farukoh wow 16gb? so do all your installed programs go in /home?05:07
jk_faruk, it depends on how much additional software you expect to install. I set up 40 GB on this box and have not used much at all...05:07
ntzrmtthihu777faruk: no, most of that info goes in /bin or /usr/bin in /, ubuntu is just that tiny05:07
farukhmm05:08
farukbecause on windows 7 i set up 60GB, and after a couple of years i'm down to like 2GB free lol05:08
ntzrmtthihu777faruk: and I'm using a remastered ubuntu with a 2gb iso05:08
farukwindows folder alone has grown to 25GB from all the multiple versions of files that it keeps05:08
serbforcei love the 13.04 !05:09
ntzrmtthihu777faruk: thats because win$ == fat * slow05:09
faruklol05:09
littlebearzntzrmtthihu777: that's not true if you can tune it05:09
root___ntzrmtthihu777: it shows this05:10
root___00:1b.0 Audio device: Intel Corporation Device 1e20 (rev 04)05:10
faruki'm looking forward to the switch, but i wanna get it right, because i'm not even gonna dual boot :P05:10
root___i don't know what to do next ntzrmtthihu77705:10
ntzrmtthihu777littlebearz: talking about the general rule05:10
jk_faruk, just double-checked. I set up this box with 46 GB in / and still have almost 41 GB left after installing a bunch of stuff. Most software goes into /usr/bin but it's not nearly as bloated as most Windows software...05:10
ntzrmtthihu777root___: search for I-) and ubuntu05:10
root___search for what ntzrmtthihu777 ??05:11
ntzrmtthihu777root___: I mean I through ) in that line05:11
farukthanks for checking jk_, i'm a bit confused though, /usr/bin is in a separate partition from /?05:11
serbforceDoes anybody know how to add x-chat icon on the top panel05:11
jk_faruk, no, it's part of /05:11
ntzrmtthihu777faruk: its a subdirectory of /, you can have it as another partition if you like05:11
faruki thought if i make 2 partitions, / and /home, / will contain everything other than /home05:12
ntzrmtthihu777serbforce: what desktop environment you need05:12
faruklike if i install MATLAB, that's like 6GB alone05:12
root___sorry ntzrmtthihu777 I still do not understand05:12
jk_faruk, you are correct05:12
serbforce<ntzrmtthihu777> im on ubuntu 13.04 daily unity desktop05:12
ntzrmtthihu777root___: search for Intel Corporation Device 1e20 (rev 04) and your version of ubuntu05:12
ntzrmtthihu777faruk: if you know you are gonna install huge software give / more then.05:13
farukhmm okay05:13
ntzrmtthihu777serbforce: not a clue about 13.04 or unity05:13
serbforceokay :(05:13
ntzrmtthihu777serbforce: I'm a gnome2 12.04 man05:13
farukso you'd say like 16GB for the OS itself, plus however much I estimate that I will need for the rest of the programs I will install?05:13
serbforceoh i see05:13
serbforceisnt gnome2 done for05:14
serbforcein terms of support05:14
farukand just in case i run out of space, would it be weird to install stuff like games in /home?05:14
ntzrmtthihu777faruk: no, you don't *need* 16gb, that's just wiggle room. ubuntu only requires 4gb to install to05:14
Bray90820ntzrmtthihu777 sorry i am back now05:14
RiXtErhow do upstart scripts know to start... with systemv you could update-rc.d service defaults05:14

Bray90820ntzrmtthihu777 and yes it does do detecting android with dots05:15

root___ntzrmtthihu777: what is root?05:22
somsip!root | root___05:22
ubotturoot___: Do not try to guess the root password, that is impossible. Instead, realise the truth... there is no root password. Then you will see that it is 'sudo' that grants you access and not the root password. Look at https://help.ubuntu.com/community/RootSudo05:22

ntzrmtthihu777root___: if you are and you don't know why then you shouldn't be doing it.05:23
root___ntzrmtthihu777: really? How can i get root out?05:23
ntzrmtthihu777root___: root is a user on everyone's pc, its what handles all the basic background stuff.05:24
ntzrmtthihu777root___: its like your install's brain stem, handling heartbeats and such05:24
dr_williswe have to wonder how you  managed to login as root. there should  have been a initally  made user05:25
ntzrmtthihu777now, when you installed ubuntu, did you create your own login?05:25
root___i just type sudo su dr_willis05:25
root___I did ntzrmtthihu77705:25
dr_willisroot___:  and WHY did you feel the need to do that?05:25
ntzrmtthihu777in that case exit will remove you from it05:25
connor__question: why is debian so much harder to use than ubuntu?05:25
dr_willisconnor__:  its not really.05:25
root___i don't know dr_willis  i read in a book05:26
ntzrmtthihu777connor__: ubuntu is supposed to be the "everyman05:26
ntzrmtthihu777connor__: ubuntu is supposed to be the "everyman's linux"05:26
dr_willisroot___:  time to log out  and login as your normal user. then irc as a normal user. not as root05:26
connor__installing video drivers and and such in debian is too much05:26
ntzrmtthihu777root___: you should almost never ever ever run as sudo su unless you know exactly what you are doing05:26
ntzrmtthihu777what is your default username?05:27
dr_willisactually you  shouldent use 'sudo su'   if you need a root shell. use sudo -i05:27
root___ok mate ntzrmtthihu77705:27
ntzrmtthihu777dr_willis: exactly what is the difference?05:27
dr_willisthe enviroment settings for the most part05:27
ntzrmtthihu777dr_willis: I know of both, but I use sudo su because my fingers are already moving in that direction05:28
dr_willisntzrmtthihu777:  bad habbit.. break out  of  it.05:28
ntzrmtthihu777dr_willis: that bad?05:28
root___how to get out ntzrmtthihu77705:28

histo!fstab | yourimym11 if you want it mounted on boot follow this06:21
ubottuyourimym11 if you want it mounted on boot follow this: The /etc/fstab file indicates how drive partitions are to be used or otherwise integrated into the file system. See https://help.ubuntu.com/community/Fstab and http://www.tuxfiles.org/linuxhelp/fstab.html and !Partitions06:21

ntzrmtthihu777yourimym11: message me, you are just gonna keep getting !fstab at you in open irc06:21
histoyourimym11: That's what fstab is for. Telling linux how to handle hte filesystems on boot.06:22

histoyourimym11: sudo cp /etc/fstab /etc/fstab.bak && gksu gedit /etc/fstab     make your relevant changes then sudo mount -a will mount all those systems you specify.06:23

dd_hello. noob question. i have a webserver, my personal user will have a website folder. should i create a separate admin user with sudo privs, instead of using my personal user to manage the machine while also having a website folder?06:31
histoBen64: can't he just install linux-meta-lts-quantal06:31
histodd_: your personal user can't use sudo unless they invoke it.06:32
MrHacksnevermind. Used xrandr06:32
newb(windows host) what happens to the usb after using it to dual boot ubuntu? can it still be a functional usb for just storage or forever be a bootable drive?06:32

histocotcot: dpkg -l | grep image | pastebinit06:33
rypervenchedd_: The root user is for admin things.06:34

dd_histo: well, to better word it, my webserver will have one user per website. should i keep the ubuntu user around to perform admin duties, so i don't need to give sudo to website users?06:35
SubCoolhisto, in dmes would it be at the top or bottom06:36
histoSubCool: were you playing with hard drives or in the bios recently06:36
histoSubCool: bottom06:36

overjoyedpulpi'm using 2.16 on ubuntu 12.04, and i cannot get any plugins installed. I tried using apt-get to install gnash, flash, and mozplugger. i've also tried manually copying the relevant *.so files to ~/.mozilla/seamonkey/plugins and still seamonkey doesn't recognize the plugins (it lists the files under [INVALID] in pluginreg.dat)06:41
ak5I need 10.04 to 12.0406:41
Ben64ak5: 10.04 goes straight to 12.0406:41
ak5Ben64: so I have been told. I am now looking for how I do that ^_^06:41
overjoyedpulpi forgot to mention it's 64-bit and ive tried using nspluginwrapper per the documentation on mozilla's website06:41
Ben64ak5: it's set up like that by default06:42
onewhat about 10.04.306:42
ak5Ben64: you misunderstand, I don't know about ubuntu at all and I am trying to figure out how to start the upgrade processs06:42
Ben64overjoyedpulp: 2.16? anyway flashplayer is in the repos06:42
histoak5: sudo apt-get install update-manager-core06:42

onedoes the bot give checksums?06:43
histodr_willis: well not the trigger the page on the wiki is.06:43

dr_willisi normally do clean installs.. seems fadter06:43
onehisto: the iso's06:43
dr_willisfaster06:43
Ben64overjoyedpulp: well seamonkey isn't in the repositories, so you're on your own : /06:44
histodr_willis: upgrade is actually faster.06:44
SunStarclean install is the best way to go on any platform06:44
histoone: they are listed on the download page06:44

dr_williswasent for me last time... but it was during the release week...06:44

SubCoolhisto, having an issue with that- appears my usb isnt being seen06:45
histoSubCool: How did you just install kubuntu then?06:45
SubCoolhisto, with that usb drive.. - idk.. :/06:45
ak5histo: so this automatically changes my sources.list ?06:45
histoSubCool: Well that's not good. Possibly the drive going bad causing issues with files that were copied?06:45
histoak5: yes06:46
histoak5: not your custom entries if you have any though it will disable those temporarily06:46
onehisto: i cant get to the download page because of my fascist firewall06:46
ak5histo: what if I only have custom entries :D06:46
SubCoolhisto, dont say that- :/06:46

SubCoolhisto, reinstalling now..06:47
histoone: which iso?06:47
onehisto: 10.04.406:48
ak5is it true that ubuntu is considering switching to rolling release model for non-LTS releases?06:48
histoone: desktop / server/ 32 bit or 64bit?06:48
onehisto: desktop alternate i386 please use pm06:49
histoak5: I haven't heard that. but every six months is pretty rolling release safely as it's going to get06:49
ak5histo: idk, I am coming from arch, just testing ubuntu for my servers, I might switch to that06:50
morningIt seems I need help reinstalling grub2 (on Precise). I dropped my laptop, and now on boot I get the "grub rescue" prompt. From what I've seen online, I gather that "grub-cfg" is messed up. So now I've booted from a usb. Following directions from message #7 at ubuntuforums.org/showthread.php?t-1331720, I've done this: (1) mount/dev/sda1 /mnt. (Good.) (2) mount -bind/dev /mnt/dev. (Good.) (3) chroot /mnt. But here I get the response "segmentation fault." Th06:50
morninge next steps would be (4) install-grub /dev/sda and (5) update-grub2. But I'm over my head and don't want to proceed until I understand the message I've received. What should be my next step?06:50
ak5the vps I got came preinstalled with lucid which doesn't have php-fpm (not even as backport)06:50

onehi jasonjang06:56
ak5so no systemd?06:56
SubCoolk- figured it out- its the usb06:56
onehisto: thanks, i did ask for pm though06:56
SubCool histo booting up- what would u like me to do once the computer boots06:57
histoSubCool: use gparted and see which disk is marked as bootable. Fix that or install grub to one or the other.06:57
SubCoolhisto, oh- thats pretty easy;. lol06:58
histoSubCool: most likely both disks are marked as bootable. Or something goofy.06:59
SubCoolhisto, after what i did- probably both'07:00
SubCoolso- cant i just run grub2 update?07:00
apb1963I'm trying to do:  "/etc/init.d/mysql restart" it's returning with   "start: Job failed to start"  syslog has this contribution:  http://ix.io/4DN07:00

SubCoolhisto, my boots on a lvm... does that matter07:00
histoSubCool: see which drive has the boot flag enabled07:01
SubCoolhisto, waiting on it-07:01

somsipapb1963: stop it first. Then start it. Post anything in /var/log/mysql/error.log07:06
somsiphisto: really? woah - so it does. My apologies07:06
SubCoolhisto, sda was marked for boot- but i also have an lvm. so im installing the packages now.07:06
pvl1histo, did u compike mysql or install from repo07:07
pvl1oops07:07
pvl1apb1963, did you compile mysql or install from repo07:07
pvl1sorry histo07:07
apb1963repo I think, but I have to doublecheck07:08
histoSubCool: Is this a dualboot system?07:09
apb1963yah, repo07:09
apb1963do-over? :)07:09
somsipapb1963: mysqld can sometimes complain if the correct my.cnf entries are missing. Did you overwrite any existing cnf when you upgraded (or did you just install>)07:09
pvl1apb1963, can you try mysqld restart. rather sudo mysqld restart07:09
apb1963somsip: Yah07:09
somsipapb1963: Yeah to what? Install or upgraded? Overwritten cnf or kept old one?07:10
apb1963oh i didn't see the last part of your sentence... overwrite I think.07:10
Aaronsomsip huh?07:11
somsipapb1963: k. If it's not going to break anything, you could try removing and reinstalling but it's a weak answer, I know07:11
SubCoolhisto, no- but it appears the lvm2 packages failed07:11
pvl1somsip, apb1963 or possibly just get a new cnf?07:11

somsipapb1963: /var/log/mysql/error.log can be handy if you are logging errors07:12
histoSubCool: grub needs to be installed to the mbr of the bootable drive assuming you aren't using EFI07:13
SubCoolhisto, i think your right- my hd might be failing-  i keep getting disc erros and such07:13
apb1963doesn't exist... so I guess I'm not logging errors??07:13
somsipapb1963: I can't remember the default setting, but fair to assume it's disabled if you have nothing there.07:13
histoSubCool: depends are they IO errors?07:13
histoSubCool: also you can check smartmontools to see07:14
SubCoolhisto, no- but i keep getting these random crap outs.07:14
SubCoolis that a package?07:14
hosseinI am still not able to find the answer07:14
hosseinIt seams easy but it is not07:14
somsipapb1963: in /etc/my/my.cnf should have "log_error = /var/log/mysql/error.log" Might be worht adding to see if it gives more helpful output07:14
hosseinI just want to click a link07:14
hosseinthe ubuntu does not let me to do07:14
hosseinwhat is the reason/07:15
SubCoolhisto, nvm- install it now- or trying to07:15
somsipapb1963: but maybe this will b0rk if mysql is not starting up properly to whatever point it needs to start up to log errors....07:15
hosseinthis is the website: http://gmplib.org/07:15
hosseini should openthe download benckmark sources07:16
apb1963somsip: Seems to be divided up into sections... which section should I add it to?07:16
somsipapb1963: [mysqld]07:16
apb1963Not there.  There's a [mysqldump] and a [mysql]  should I create a new section?07:17
somsipapb1963: ummmm. There should be lots of mysqld entries. This might be your problem. Like I advised, a reinstall or as pvl1 suggested, get a virgin my.cnf from somewhere07:18
somsipapb1963: backup the current one first, natch07:18
SubCoolhisto, thanks- but im going to bed.. ill [ick this up later- :/07:19
somsipapb1963: I have [mysqldump[ and [mysql] but about 116 lines of [mysqld] and others above it. Looks like you cnf is quite messed up if these are missing07:20
histoSubCool: kk07:20
apb1963yes...  I think a virgin would be a good solution... where do I find a virgin?07:21

ntzrmtthihu777fetzy: my brief experience with 12.10 was horrid.07:47
fetzyhmm ok. i will try that then, thank you for your help.07:48
ntzrmtthihu777is there a general dell support channel anywhere?07:48
Fuzzlesntzrmtthihu777, true but now ubuntu uses unity its so heavy on resources its even more then KDE now specially that 4.10 has big performance boost07:48
ntzrmtthihu777Fuzzles: like I said, I use gnome-fallback, no unity07:48
ntzrmtthihu777Fuzzles: you could think of it as gnubuntu07:49
ak5it asked me to change the root password for mysql when updating from lucid to precise no less than 3 times (??)07:49
Fuzzlesntzrmtthihu777, i can switch to kubuntu and remove unity and gnome without issues adn reinstalling right program07:50
ntzrmtthihu777ak5: I think the root mysql password is not the same as the ubuntu root07:50
ak5ntzrmtthihu777: yes, i know. but why ask 3 times07:50
ntzrmtthihu777Fuzzles: is that a statement or a question?07:50
somsipak5: you're doing a long upgrade process. Just go with it.07:50
ntzrmtthihu777ak5: ok lol07:51
Fuzzlesntzrmtthihu777, question07:51
ak5somsip: is there some logic hidden there07:51
ntzrmtthihu777Fuzzles: I belive so, yes07:51
Fuzzlesntzrmtthihu777, ok ill give it a try07:51
ntzrmtthihu777ak5: in ubuntu there is a certain timeout for sudo, 15 min default, maybe mysql has the same thing07:51
somsipak5: just an encouragement to not worry about things you cannot affect07:52
ak5somsip: should I report a bug?07:52
ntzrmtthihu777Fuzzles: do not remove unity and gnome untill you are sure kde works fine07:52
ak5it's kinda stupid to reproduce, but... it is a bug, right?07:52
somsipak5: is it broken?07:52

countleyyeh08:02
ntzrmtthihu777countley: then why exactly do you need monitor mode?08:02
somsipyourimym1: you could work around by mounting the whole partition somewhere, then creating a symlink to the folder you want08:03
countleyairodump-ng08:03
ntzrmtthihu777countley: I'm just curious, being a year old backtrack user makes me think dat way.08:03
TakeItEZyourimym1: basically you mount the whole partition at /somewhere, then /etc/fstab "/somewhere/mydir /newmountpoint none bind 0 0 "08:03
ntzrmtthihu777countley: why do you need airodump-ng08:03
digitalshankart-mart:  the ecryptfs is in hard drive which i messed up by installing differenet desktop manager now it's not booting so i am trying to recover my data.08:03
countleyi normaly use backtrack but i could get the drivers for my wireless08:03
ntzrmtthihu777TakeItEZ: you should not use the same pass for different partitions on the same hdd08:04
t-martdigitalshankar: so, when you try to boot the messed up partition, do you get a command line?08:04

TakeItEZyourimym1: you want to mount some dir from the partitio mounted at a specific place, add an fstab-entry like "/somewhere/mydir /newmountpoint none bind 0 0 "08:07
ntzrmtthihu777TakeItEZ: you should use uuids, not paths08:07
ntzrmtthihu777TakeItEZ: what he wants is a certain directory inside another partition mounted somewhere.08:08
ntzrmtthihu777TakeItEZ: your idea about symlinks is what he needs.08:08
TakeItEZntzrmtthihu777: bind-mounts don#t need any pass/dump entries, therefor 008:08
yourimym1so :) what should i do !08:09
TakeItEZntzrmtthihu777: do you even know what bind-mount is?08:09
ntzrmtthihu777TakeItEZ: yes, although maybe not in technical terms. along the lines of what happens when you set up a separate /home from the start.08:10
digitalshankarSolution found for my question!!! The answer was "gksudo nautilus"08:10
ntzrmtthihu777digitalshankar: a root nautilus, yeah that would do it.08:11
dekandigitalshankar Yes, you will access to files as root.08:11

ntzrmtthihu777lol.08:18
ntzrmtthihu777ak5: you are using x64, but some programs are only 32 bit so you would need them08:19

ntzrmtthihu777ak5: I have both the 64 and 32 bit libs on my machine for compatability on some things08:20
wayne__I love ubuntu08:21

ntzrmtthihu777Sliss: why not just use flashplugin-installer08:34
carinaetHi, if I unplug the storage drives in my PC, then install Ubuntu from a USB to another USB, then plug the windows drives back.Now, my question are: Does that leave the Windows drives untouched? How about the Bios? If I boot to Ubuntu from USB drive, would it try to do something to my Windows Drive or Bios? If I unplug Ubuntu USB, is the computer going to run like nothing happened? Thank you very much!08:34
ntzrmtthihu777carinaet: no need to unplug the windows drives, they will not be touched unless you tell them to be.08:35
dr_williscarinaet:  make sure you install grub to the USB drive.. and not the windows drive.. theres a dialog/pulldown somewhere.. it should default to the usb.. but you  want to double check08:35
Slissflash-aid is using flashplugin-installer if you didnt know ntzrmtthihu77708:35
ntzrmtthihu777carinaet: in fact if you set bios to boot the usb stick before the hdd, you can choose when to boot the usb based on whether its plugged in or not08:36

ntzrmtthihu777SunStar: perhaps opposite is wrong term, along the lines of making them deaf to you08:53
Akiva-Mobilentzrmtthihu777: well, sudo nautilus is just my mickey mouse trick to avoid remembering complex chmod flags. I wish it warned me about my config file though.08:53
somsipntzrmtthihu777: unignore, same syntax I believe08:53
ntzrmtthihu777somsip: nope, you missed my latest query08:54
Akiva-Mobilefrankly, I am still bugged that you still can not change permissions of files easily in nautilus with a root password.08:54
somsipntzrmtthihu777: you want to set yourself as ignored by them?08:54
ntzrmtthihu777somsip: yes! not that I wish to do it, but wonder if its doable08:54
ntzrmtthihu777Akiva-Mobile: check ~/.gtk-bookmarks08:55
dr_willisAkiva-Mobile:  i recall seeing some nautilus scripts for that.08:55
l057c0d3r0_o  so you can talk about them without them seeing.. how rude08:55
somsipntzrmtthihu777: not something I'm aware of08:55

dr_willissudo nautilus is bad... gksudo nautilus i  think will avoide the problems08:55
Akiva-Mobiledr_willis: I am just surprised it still exists. I was considering on building a chmod gui08:55

ntzrmtthihu777dr_willis: an excellent point, do not use sudo for graphical applications, ever.08:56
=== Guest87397 is now known as curtispoe
Akiva-Mobilentzrmtthihu777: I used to know how to use it, but I always had to double check my flags08:56
dr_willisi got a little chmod app on my phone. ;) or i just use mc...08:56
SunStarwhen using gksudo nautilus be mindful of permissions and ownership08:56
ntzrmtthihu777Akiva-Mobile: it exists already. right-click properties, permissions.08:56
Akiva-Mobileand some flags are complex.08:56
dr_willisI belive theres a nautilus setting to show advanced chown/chmod options08:57
ntzrmtthihu777Akiva-Mobile: you are talking about the number ones?08:57
Akiva-Mobilentzrmtthihu777: well usergroups are not exactly straightforward08:57
ntzrmtthihu777Akiva-Mobile: agreed.08:58
Akiva-Mobileas long as I have been on linux, I have never bothered to research them.08:58
zetheroohow do you get the nvidia-current driver to actually become active?08:58
Akiva-Mobilentzrmtthihu777: Well, if not a bug report, maybe a brainstorm.08:58
zetherooseems like just installing it is useless ... as the Mesa driver is still being used08:59
ntzrmtthihu777Akiva-Mobile: I wish they had better customizability for ~/.config/user-dirs.dirs, lol. that is my one wish atm.08:59
Akiva-Mobilentzrmtthihu777: lol09:00
dr_williszetheroo:  i  install, then reboot. then run nvidia-settings to setup  the xorg,conf how i  want. then restart the X server09:00

Bray90820ntzrmtthihu777 so apperently i need to move my android partition to /09:01
ntzrmtthihu777Bray90820: erm, when you boot android your android partition become /09:01
ntzrmtthihu777and when you do ubuntu the same occurs09:01
Bray90820it does?09:01
ntzrmtthihu777Bray90820: yeah, any multiboot does, I believe.09:02
Bray90820hum i have something to show you09:02
ntzrmtthihu777is there a way to change the gnome-fallback menu setup from applications | places to applications | places | system like in lucid?09:03
Bray90820ntzrmtthihu777 http://pastebin.com/raw.php?i=LvuEYL3E09:04
ntzrmtthihu777Bray90820: oh yes, this could work, methinks.09:04
Bray90820i'm not really 100% sure what that even means tho09:05
Bray90820but i wanna try it just to see09:05
ntzrmtthihu777Bray90820: you would not be moving the android partition to /, but instead emptying its contents into the / of sda109:05
Bray90820AHH09:05
Bray90820i'll also make a backup :)09:05
ntzrmtthihu777Bray90820: but for you, since your ubuntu / is sda1, would use hd0,109:06
Bray90820yes09:06
Bray90820the mounting point would also change09:06
ntzrmtthihu777and i am not sure if it would matter, but can you place that } curly bracket on its own line?09:06

dr_willishmmm09:12
ntzrmtthihu777dr_willis: :?09:13
dr_willisits quiet.... tooo quiet...09:13
ntzrmtthihu777dr_willis: any thoughts on my question?09:13
dr_williswhich one?09:13
ntzrmtthihu777about the threefold division of the old lucid menu vs the two menu system of gnome-fallback in precise09:14
dr_willisi  dont use fallback. so never even noticed09:14
ntzrmtthihu777I *really* hate having to dredge through the apps menu for what was (and should be) in the separate system menu09:15
dr_willistheres some alternative indicator applet menu apps that give sort of a classic type menu.09:15
ntzrmtthihu777*gish* the only other one that, while beautifully displaying the logo, lumps all three into one09:17
zetheroodr_willis: I install nvidia-current which then automatically installs nvidia-settings with it. After installing I reboot the machine. After reboot there is no Nvidia Settings shortcut  in the Ubuntu menu ... so I have to open a terminal and do 'sudo nvidia-settings' which then opens it up with a message telling me that the nvidia driver is not in use and that I need to run 'nvidia-xconfig'. So I try 'nvidia xconfig' in the terminal but get 'command not fo09:17
dr_williszetheroo:  it would be 'sudo nvidia-xconfig' an its not really needed these days09:18
dr_willisif you have no xorg.conf then it should auto load the nvidia driver09:18
dr_willissee if you do have a /etc/X11/xorg.conf09:19
ntzrmtthihu777I *could* install from lucid's ppa's I'd likely lose a feature I want but do not know it, and lucid is almost out of style anyways.09:19
dr_willisif so rename it.09:19
zetheroodr_willis: yeah 'sudo nvidia-xconfig' ... no go ...09:19
zetheroodr_willis: I agree that the driver should be auto-loaded ... ;)09:19
dr_willisnvidia-xconfig was needed ages ago to generate the xorg.conf . but now the xorg.conf is optionsl09:19
ntzrmtthihu777dr_willis: you're a cool dude, not like some of these other patently annoying experts09:20
dr_willisIF you  have an xorg.conf tghats loading  some other drivers.. that can cause issues09:20
dr_willisand im sitting here at work.. getting paid (not for ircing.. but just being at work) :)09:20
ntzrmtthihu777dr_willis: sounds nice09:20
dr_williszetheroo:  this isent one of those dual gpu optimus systems is it?09:21
zetheroodr_willis: I see ... but why is it that if I install the nvidia 175 driver it will work after a reboot automatically?09:21
zetheroodr_willis: no, this is an older Quadro NVS card09:21
dr_willisi  only  use the drivers in the repos.. what ones did  you use? sounds like they maybe not  for your  card/broken09:21
zetherooand I am running Ubuntu 10.04 on that machine :D09:22
l057c0d3rthat's what i ws thinking dr_willis..  maybe his card is to old for the newer drivers hence why an older set works but the newer one does not09:22
zetheroothe Nvidia 175 is in the Hardware Drivers dialog ... straight from Ubuntu repos09:22
dr_willisthat would be my guess.. they  are  constantly  dropping out old cards from the propitary drivers09:22
zetherooI saw on the Ubuntu forums though that my card was supported in the nvidia-current driver09:23
zetherooI see09:23
zetheroobummer09:23
dr_willisnvidia-current is just a generic name for whatever is current in that release..09:23
zetheroois there a place where the current list of supported cards are for the nvidia-current driver?09:23
dr_willisfor 10.04 it could be nvidia-current is that older driver not the current available drivers09:23
dr_willisnvidias site has a list of cards for driver versions09:24
dr_willis the term 'nvidia-current' is ubuntus geenric name.09:24
zetheroowell it was nvidia-current from x-swat repo which was the last one I tried ...09:24
l057c0d3rspeaking of video card drivers.. i had to install the amd drivers from the site to get steam game working.. but i need to drop them and update to the beta some time....09:24
dr_willisnvidia-current in 10.04 may  not be the same version as ncidia-current in 13.04 ;)09:24
l057c0d3rbeen putting it off09:24
dr_willisxswat would be  using the latest from the nvidia sites.09:25
zetheroook09:25
dr_willisso that indeed sounds like.. newer drivers dont support your card09:25
l057c0d3rdr_willis, speaking of xswat..  when i added there ppa.. it didn't update my drivers to the experimental versions...  and the updates they gave xorg broke my working steam games :-(09:25
=== jack is now known as Guest27105

ntzrmtthihu777<3 debs09:26
dr_willismy nvidia sysem is using a 320 card I think.. so its getting a little old09:27
dr_willisplays skyrim however ;)  just not at max settings09:27
l057c0d3ri havent tried skyrim with my new driver yet.. however with the driver from the repo..  it would only run on medium settings..09:27

l057c0d3rfound out today.. that if i don't boot my system with the hdmi cable plugged in.. i cant get 1080p display on my tv.. but a reboot with the cable plugged in and i can..  kind of odd..  also have to boot with my turtle beach headset plugged in or i cant get digital in the sound settings..09:30
l057c0d3rcalwig, what's the issue09:30
calwigl057c0d3r, thank you09:30
calwigUSB stick, unetbootin installs Ubuntu ISO, boots fine, installs to partition. No prob09:31
zetherooI was just trying to get xbmc working ... so I installed this nvidia card thinking it would be better than the onboard Intel gfx ... man was I wrong!09:31
=== joarj is now known as CosmicB
calwigthen I erase partition with gparted, install Windows Vista or 7 ISO with unetbootin, boots to grub menu... why?09:31
ntzrmtthihu777calwig: because grub is likely in your mbr09:31
calwigthat i figured out, but how do i remove it completely09:32
ntzrmtthihu777calwig: that I know not, sorry09:32
l057c0d3rhmm... so windows 7 installed but from there you can not boot into it..  strange.. usually windows 7 overwrights the mbr with its boot loader09:33
ntzrmtthihu777google for restore mbr for windows 709:33
l057c0d3ror maybe burn the iso for windows 7 to dvd and try installing that way09:33
art1quick noob question.  how do I mount my main drive to be able to view the files? (in windows would be my c: drive)09:34
ntzrmtthihu777l057c0d3r: good point, maybe the unetbootin "taints" win$ with grub09:34
ntzrmtthihu777art1: do you only have one drive?09:34
lolzerhi plz help me about creating a hotspot in my laptop.. it creates but no internet  connection on the other device09:34
lolzerim using 12.0409:34
art1only one internal09:35
ntzrmtthihu777lolzer: I fought tooth and nail with mine, never got it working.09:35
l057c0d3rntzrmtthihu777, from my experience unetbootin messes up more then it works.09:35
art1my external is mounted, but not my internal09:35
ntzrmtthihu777art1: if you'r booted into that one then it is mounted... ahh09:35
ntzrmtthihu777just open a nautilus window, you should se it to the left09:35
lolzerntzrmtthihu777, yeah .. nothing seems to work09:36
l057c0d3rart1 are you using wubi install09:36
ntzrmtthihu777l057c0d3r: yeah, unetbootin tends to fail hard09:36
l057c0d3ror do you have ubuntu installed on a separate partition on your main hdd09:36
art1not wubi...09:36
ntzrmtthihu777l057c0d3r: he said he had 2 drives, one win$ and one ubu09:37
l057c0d3roh.. must have missed that part09:37
huayraI have an issue with my "/home" partition being too little, but I have plenty of space in my root "/" partition09:37
l057c0d3ryeah then like ntzrmtthihu777 said.. it should be listed in nautilus on the upper left part of the window..09:38
ntzrmtthihu777huayra: you would have to boot some live media and shrink / and grow /home09:38
art1no, It's a pure ubuntu 12.04 install... but I just installed it, been using windows forever so it's easier to compare to it09:38
huayrais there a way to change the size of a running system without ruining it?09:38
huayra:)09:38
huayrantzrmtthihu777, ok, but it is possible ?09:38

Makaorntzrmtthihu777, all the commands etc10:05
ntzrmtthihu777Makaor: if you think ubuntu is hard try archlinux10:05
Makaorntzrmtthihu777, why?10:06
l057c0d3rand u did the sudo update-initramfs -u right10:06
l057c0d3rntzrmtthihu777, or gentoo10:06
ntzrmtthihu777l057c0d3r: never tried it, whazzit like?10:07
l057c0d3ri have a system running gentoo with fluxbox / lxde10:07
l057c0d3rits nice.. takes forever to get going10:07
l057c0d3rbuilds everything from source10:07
ezhilvananl057c0d3r : Now i can see the ubuntu default screen while shutdown but startup same gnome screen only.. what i have to do now?10:07
l057c0d3rhas slightly better speeds then ubuntu.. but ubuntu is my fav now10:07
ntzrmtthihu777l057c0d3r: interesting. I rather like ubuntu and its spinoffs.10:08
l057c0d3rezhilvanan, do the sudo update-alternatives --config default.plymouth again.. and select 0 or 1 from that last.. which ever is not the gnome one10:08
l057c0d3rthen do sudo update-initramfs -u10:08
l057c0d3rand reboot again see if that helps10:08
ezhilvananl057c0d3r: okay10:08
l057c0d3rthe manual one you selected gives issues some times10:08
crackerjackzhey sorry i had to reboot10:09
crackerjackzunity-launcher wouldn't work said the command didn't exist.. but i typed unit then pressed tab and a bunch of unity stuff came up10:09
l057c0d3rntzrmtthihu777, the speedup comes from everything being built and optimized for the system its running on...10:09
l057c0d3rbut updates take forever10:10
l057c0d3r:-p10:10
l057c0d3rand emerge  just isnt as easy as apt-get10:10
crackerjackzone of the things that came up was unity2d-panel and unity-shell i tried running those but no luck.. then i tried running just plain "unity" and my whole desktop got angry at me10:10
l057c0d3rhave use flags..  among other things you have to add / change ext10:10
ntzrmtthihu777you know, I had an interesting setup with lightdm at one point. I had accidentally set root nautilus, and it set the background I had intended to set up as mine became roots, and I set mine again and fixed it.10:10
crackerjackzhow do i get rid of unity?10:11
crackerjackzi want to use lxde10:11
l057c0d3rntzrmtthihu777, i went into /usr/source/gnome-shell/theme and changed the .css file and the noisy***.png file...10:11
ntzrmtthihu777then I later changed my background but not roots, and ended up enabling full root logon as an experiment, when I selected root for login it would change to the root background10:11
l057c0d3rand fully customized my gdm login screen10:11
ntzrmtthihu777crackerjackz: install lxde, logout and back in under lxde, then a careful selecion of apt-get purge will get rid of it10:12
dr_willisid leave unity  installed..  just in case10:12
l057c0d3ralso went in and replaced the blinds in /usr/share/backgrounds/gnome... that way i had the same image displayed all the time in gdm10:12
dr_willisjust install and use lxde/lubuntu10:12
ryorky1when my system/computer suspends, it just comes up to a flickering screen.  I end up having to reboot.  I am on ubuntu 12.0.4 and have a hp pavillion dv6.  Any ideas how to fix this or what could be causing the problem?10:12
crackerjackzntzrmtthihu777: so just run apt-get purge and answer what ever questions it throws at me while logged in under lxde?10:12

dr_willistells what most of the  filesystem dirs and stuff does.10:13
ntzrmtthihu777crackerjackz: the syntax is apt-get purge packagename10:14
crackerjackzhang on ill send you an article10:14
dr_willisI think the  freedesktop.org site has some articals also on the  topic10:14
crackerjackzntzrmtthihu777: okay thank you that makes sense now :010:14
crackerjackz:) *10:14
ryorky1dr_willis:  any ideas?  ^^10:14
ntzrmtthihu777ryorky1: how much swap and ram do you have10:14
dr_willisryorky1:  i dont use hibernate or suspend.. many drivers and hardware dont work well with iot.10:14
ryorky1no swap, but 8 gigs of ram10:15
dr_willisryorky1:  you do want swap = ram+some more for the feature to work properly10:15
Makaorhey10:15
MakaorI AM BACK10:15
l057c0d3rdr_willis, heh hibernate and suspend work great on my system.. however lock with gnomescreensaver puts my system into a coma.10:15
ntzrmtthihu777ryorky1: there is your problem. hybernate and suspend need a bit more gb than ram10:15
crackerjackzchronicle: read this.. this will help you understand a lot of what you are trying to understand http://www.tldp.org/LDP/Linux-Filesystem-Hierarchy/html/Linux-Filesystem-Hierarchy.html10:15
ryorky1dr_willis:  how can I add more swap without reformatting or losing files?10:15
dr_willisryorky1:  make a swap partition10:15
chroniclethanks crackerjacks!10:15
dr_willisa swap file wont work.10:16
leshastecan anyone get the "play" button to work at http://www.xeno-canto.org/123835 ?10:16
ntzrmtthihu777ryorky1: boot a live cd/usb, use gparted to carefully shrink off 8gb and add an 8gb swap10:16
ryorky1k, will do10:16
rypervenchechronicle: Type "man hier" in your terminal.10:16

leshasteI can't get it to work in chromium10:18
leshasteiceroot, snap!!10:19
icerootleshaste: same here10:19
crackerjackzwho was it that gave me that apt-get purge <packagename> command again?10:19
ntzrmtthihu777crackerjackz: me10:19
crackerjackzntzrmtthihu777: so do i have to do that with every package that has to do with unity or can i just run apt-get purge unity and it will completely remove it?10:19
leshasteiceroot, hmm.. I wonder if it is worth reporting10:20
chroniclethat is a lot to read friend thank you10:20
icerootleshaste: on there website, yes. a bug against chromium, no10:20
chronicleone more question10:20
ntzrmtthihu777crackerjackz: not sure, I did each individually. you can do purge unity unity-2d-shell etc, more than one at a time. typing unity then tabbing 2x will list all of the packages.10:20
chroniclewhat is the difference in architecture between linux and windows10:20
Laiquendiwow...10:21
leshasteiceroot, why is that?10:21

chronicleis there any article for starters to read throught?10:21
leshasteiceroot, I mean why isn't it a bug?10:21
ntzrmtthihu777crackerjackz: keep unity-greeter though, that's purdy10:21
icerootcrackerjackz: use the remove part (not the sudo apt-get install kubuntu-desktop part) if you want to remove unity (ubuntu-desktop)10:21
Laiquendichronicle: search for what is linux, maybe some UNIX definition10:21
icerootleshaste: maybe wrong html5 coding10:21
Laiquendichronicle: wikipedia have a lot of stuff :P10:22
crackerjackziceroot: thank you.. and ntzrmtthihu777 what is unity-greeter?10:22
leshasteiceroot, oh well... also maybe not in that case :)10:22
ntzrmtthihu777iceroot: likely, different browsers support different aspects of it10:22
icerootleshaste: then i would suggest a bug against chromium10:22

ntzrmtthihu777crackerjackz: that's why I suggested a careful targeted remove of unity-named packages10:24

l057c0d3rthere is a ppa you can add and after that and an apt-get update you can apt-get install sbm10:25

dr_willissafe-ist10:26
ntzrmtthihu777iceroot: doing that gets rid of some gnome stuff he still wants10:26
icerootcrackerjackz: its the same remove command and at the end "sudo apt-get install lubuntu-desktop"10:26
dr_willisive seen numerous people trash things or get stuck when getting overzelous in removeing things10:27
dr_willisand be sure auto-login is disabled when doing this stuff.. ;)10:27
icerootdr_willis: that is always the risk when using a remove-command10:27
ntzrmtthihu777dr_willis: true. I scragged up once, lost power to my 'top during an upgrade. got back into the desktop after a helluva long time of trying and then ran update again.10:28
dr_willisand i suggest installing some failsafe window managet just in case.. like jwm10:28
crackerjackzdr_willis: how do i make sure autologin is disabled?10:28
rypervenchechronicle: Check the private message I sent you.10:28
dr_williscrackerjackz:  does it auto login when you  boot up?10:28
ntzrmtthihu777to my dismay over 300 packages were removed and I lost 1gb of files10:28
crackerjackzdr_willis: nope.. it prompts me for a pssword10:28
dr_willisthen its disa  bled. :010:28
dr_willissene several people in here with auitologin enabled.. remove unity... then the desktop gets very confused...10:29
ntzrmtthihu777dr_willis: fortuneatly it was a new-borne installation, so i just went ahead and re-installed again, lol10:29
dr_willisinstall whatever it is you want to run.. be SURE its working right first.. then if you  really really  feel lucky, remove the other desktops10:29

crackerjackzokay i think i got rid of unity with out breaking things using this guide.. http://blogs.operationaldynamics.com/paul/opensource/not-unified-removing-unity-from-ubuntu-12-04-lts but i don't feel like logging out right now so imma just chill with you guys and answer some questions10:41

zAo^Oris_, what are you trying to install?10:43
marcs1989zAo^ Yes, there are some windows machines on my network. Mind you, I was cracked recently so I'm a little extra paranoid, but I used a disk made on a different computer to reinstall Ubuntu just to be sure.10:43
ztaneOris_: try apt-get update and see if there are failures10:43
Oris_nginx with upload progress, but i got pcre errors on ./configuration which lead me to try installing libpcre310:43
ryorky1ntzrmtthihu777:  having some trouble figuring out what the links are saying exactly, can you give me a little more step by step on how to do it?10:43
zAo^marcs1989, goog thinking. As far as I can see from the log; its just mediaplayers/windows explorer/windows user trying to log on to samba10:44
ntzrmtthihu777ryorky1: its easy enout. do you know what device the swap is on? /dev/sda* ?10:45
marcs1989zAo^ Thank you! I was starting to think it was someone in my local area trying to get in. I've had some weird issues like massive memory usage and just now I heard a really strange noise play that sounded like a warning (right before I started checking my auth.log).10:46
zAo^marcs1989, Hmm. What does ´last´ say?10:47
ryorky1not 100% sure10:47
Oris_apt-get install libpcre3 libpcre3-dev is what returned the unmet dependencies10:47
ntzrmtthihu777run gparted, (install it if you don't have it, its nifty) and we can check therr10:47
marcs1989zAo^ reboots and my own user names.10:48

IzzoDizzoryorky1, is t a sep partition for swapping? or a file11:02
ryorky1<IzzoDizzo>:  it's a partition11:03
ryorky1I hacked it off of my linux partition11:03
zAo^ryorky1, did you issue ´swapon´ (or mount -a)?11:03
ryorky1<zAo^>:  nope, how would I do that?11:04
theodorhttp://www.via.com.tw/en/support/drivers.jsp11:05
theodorI cannot find nothing here11:05
zAo^ryorky1, you added the swap partition to /etc/fstab right?11:05
theodorso anyone else having problems with installign sound drivers ?11:05
ryorky1<zAo^>: I guess so, I fdid the following:  sudo blkid /dev/sda611:06
ryorky1is that correct?11:06
ryorky1I'm new to this, LOL, as if it isn't obvious11:07
zAo^ryorky1, add ¨/dev/sdaX none swap sw 0 0¨ to /etc/fstab (with the correct disk/partition!!)11:08

ryorky1<zAo^>:  does that look right?  what else do I need to do to activate/mount it?11:13
GyhyI have bought a Lenovo B570e and I want to dual boot Win7 & Ubuntu, but I've read that there is a boot problem related to UEFI11:13
lhavelundjrib: Not as far as I can tell.11:13
auronandace!uefi | Gyhy11:13
ubottuGyhy: 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/UEFI11:13
jriblhavelund: what ubuntu version?11:13
GyhyHow do I know if my laptop has a UEFI?11:13
lhavelundjrib: 12.10.11:14
theodorok, so the audio device is recognized11:14
theodordid a $  lspci -v | grep -A7 -i "audio"11:14
theodorthe problem still, nothing can be heard11:14
GyhyIs there a possibility of corrupting my current Windows 7 Installation if I just install Ubuntu as I used to???11:15
jriblhavelund: alt-` (or whatever key is above the tab key on your keyboard) should switch between windows of a single application according to what I'm seeing in google.  Here's even a video demonstrating it: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=XHFNnygpvcM&lr=1 What's happening when you press it?11:15
lhavelundjrib: That does do the trick. Thanks! I haven't used Ubuntu since Gnome2 was the bee's knees. :)11:16
theodorok it worked11:17
theodorfinally !11:17
GyhyIs it safe to simply install Ubuntu and see what happens?? or it is possible to lose my Windows 7?11:17
theodorthe solution was simple, I put the headphones jack in the right place.11:17
jonyI want to set mysql database path to my mounted windows partition location11:17
jribGyhy: whether or not you install ubuntu, you should have backups.  But you can try ubuntu straight from the cd and if you like it, you can install it and your windows should stick around as long as you don't tell the installer to use the whole disk11:18
jonyhow can I change in mysql database location to my wamp's mysql database location?11:19
Gyhyisn't it possible that Grub might prevent Win7 from booting normally?11:19
theodorhmm 1080p works a bit freezy, (using Firefox, watching 1080p youtube video)11:19
jribGyhy: I've seen people in here booting win 7 and ubuntu from grub with no problem11:19
GyhyEven with UEFI?11:20
Gyhyor in fact the possibility of having a UEFI?11:20
jribGyhy: I believe so11:20
natoshaI have a really weird problem.  I have installed Ubuntu 12.10 side-by-side with Mountain Lion on my MacBook Pro (retina model).  All seems to work fine, except when I try to boot normally, it freezes after "Loading initial ramdisk . . .".  If I boot into recovery mode, then from there swtich to normal boot, it boots fine.  I'm not sure what to look for . . .11:20
jribGyhy: I think people end up having to disable secure boot though if you're using that.  I'm not familiar with it; I'm just relaying what I've seen in this channel11:20

astalavista12Hi everyone11:23
crackerjackzhello astalavista1211:23
astalavista12I have a problem when starting Ubuntu(version 10.04). I get to the Desktop where the background, icons and an empty document viewer are visible. However all the panels are greyed out and the computer does not respond to any mouse clicks. Ubuntu worked great for several months and the problem seemed to appear when my laptop shut down after the battery ran out of power. I tried to start in the different recovery modes from the sta11:24
astalavista12any ideas_11:24
zetherooin order to mount nfs shares in Ubuntu do you have to install nfs-common?11:24
crackerjackzastalavista12: are all of your packages up to date?11:25
astalavista12I guess so11:25
GyhyI'll check my BIOS settings to see if there are some stuff to disable,, [sudo reboot]!11:25
astalavista12the problem is that I cannot see that11:25
Oris_Ztane, sorry, I missed your message earlier. I tried apt-get update, I do get some 404s on apt-get update. http://pastebin.com/pWAGMqiX11:25

=== ubuntu is now known as Guest66530
astalavista12I think I am using Gnome11:27
ztaneOris_: surely you shouldnt have any nattys there anymore, as support for it has been dropped....11:27
Guest66530gsfuysgfy11:27
crackerjackzastalavista12: press ctrl + alt + f2 to get to a terminal11:27
ztaneOris_: and how come you have two distros mixed up there confusingly :D11:27
crackerjackzand then... run sudo apt-get update11:28
astalavista12cracker: all right. do I need root pw?11:28
ztaneOris_: you probably have installed the natty pcre-binary already... and11:28
ztaneOris_: of course bc natty is already unsupported it cannot find the matching dev-package11:29
Oris_honestly, i'm way out of my realm here...i only started messing with my sources when i started trying to install nginx with the upload progress module....i tried some ppa and other sources suggested by others, but i don't really know11:29
crackerjackzastalavista12: yeah you'll need root for what im going to have you end up doing11:29
crackerjackzastalavista12: is this your computer?11:29
ztaneOris_: the thing is at some point you have mixed 10.10 urls in the sources.list11:30
ztaneOris_: but support for 10.10 has been dropped already... :S11:30
astalavista12cracker: yes it is my computer, the only problem is that I am not able to login as root. Any way I can retrieve the pw?11:30
jman074so i have two pictures of my kids. how do i put different pictures on the other desktops11:30
Oris_i thought those were there already, i didn't add natty myself, but i did have someone else working on this server a long time ago who may have11:31
ztaneyes11:31
crackerjackzastalavista12: yes.. you'll have to boot from a live cd and chroot into your ubuntu install and then run the passwd command for your user from the terminal11:31
ztaneOris_: that is the problem :D11:31
ztaneOris_: "someone else 'working'" on the server but not maintaining11:31
Oris_so, just remove the references to natty distros?11:31
ztaneOris_: but it does not help anything yet ... as you have some natty pkgs installed already....11:32
astalavista12cracker: all right. How do I chroot into my ubuntu install?11:33
ztaneOris_: i think your system is like a chimera of natty and lucid, fancy.11:33
Oris_i had some help setting the server up in the beginning...i've tried to keep up, but I have plenty to learn still11:33
crackerjackzastalavista12: are you running a 32 bit or 64 bit version of ubuntu?11:34
Oris_what do you suggest?11:34

jman074anyone?11:36
Oris_everything i've done has been for lucid... i didn't realize it was pulling updates from natty until now.11:36
crackerjackzastalavista12: do you have a 32 bit version of ubuntu burned to a CD?11:36
Oris_the server is running 10.04, nginx 1.2.7, for drupal mostly11:37
astalavista12cracker: yes I do and I can run the trial option from the CD11:37
ztaneOris_: i am not sure how critical, if not THAT critical i'd try do release upgrade to 12.0411:37
ztaneor try have the natty packages downgraded to lucid11:38
DJonesjman074: Looks like nobody knows the answer at the minute (or they've not seen your question), I'd suggest repeating it about 10-15 minute intervals to give the users in the channel chance to join/leave & change11:38

dr_willisits a hack.. the machine really should have a proper termcap12:49
TakumoKatekaridr_willis: For ViM, Midnight Commander, weechat, and Ranger12:49
dr_williswhat OS are you sshing into?12:49
TakumoKatekariUbuntu 12.04 on EC212:49
theadminTakumoKatekari: All of those are xterm-compatible...12:49
dr_willisnormal rxvt and xterm should work fine12:49
dr_willisTakumoKatekari:  that is weird.. Id bet they dident install the proper termcap stuff by default12:49
dr_willisbest fix would be to install that termcap stuff..12:50
TakumoKatekaridr_willis: That's not an option, these are company servers, and there are dozens of them.12:50
dr_willisegads - this is OLD skool knowledge im using today12:50

d3c0there are another choices?13:24
astalavista12Does anyone know if ita possible to get the same interface on 12.04 as on 10.04. I like the one on 10.04 better, I find it more user friendly13:24
theadminNo, trying to upgrade Python through third-pary sources will likely break half your system.13:24
theadminastalavista12: The same, no, not anymore. But, take a look at this, it's very very similar: http://xubuntu.org13:24
gynnahttp://www.reddit.com/r/AdultDating18/comments/19t98u/ebony_pornstar_simone_staxxx/13:25
astalavista12cheers the admin. I never tried xubuntu before. What are the pros, cons in comparison to ubuntu?13:26
theadminastalavista12: You can easily install Xubuntu from within Ubuntu by "sudo apt-get install xubuntu-desktop".13:26
darq_it rulez13:26
k1l!notunity | astalavista1213:27
ubottuastalavista12: Ubuntu 11.10 and higher use GNOME 3 with the !unity shell by default.  To use GNOME Shell instead, install the "gnome-shell" package and investigate "gnome-tweak-tool".  For GNOME Fallback mode, which is similar to GNOME 2, install "gnome-panel". Both packages will place entries in the Sessions dropdown. Using Natty? See !classic13:27
djbengantried --reinstall on unity13:27
k1lastalavista12: but xfce and lxde look like gnome2 too13:27
theadminastalavista12: Well, Xfce is basically the same thing as Gnome2 from a user's point of view. Except it's prettier and somewhat more functional (for example, you can have panels anywhere, not just edges of the screen).13:27
theadminastalavista12: As for disadvantages, I only found one major one: Thunar doesn't integrate with Ubuntu One sanely, but you can still fix that. Somewhat.13:27
darq_runs fast on 1g ram13:28
astalavista12all right, thanx to everyone for the info!13:28

ActionParsnipavu: #ubuntu+1 for anything Raring based til release day please13:42
ActionParsnipnikitis: ask and see13:43
nikitisi did13:43

fatninjaUbuntu is ultra fast, but I want to switch it to the next level, I want to migrate it to my ssd hard drive13:43
fatninjahow can I migrate and keep the same settings ?13:43
ActionParsnipnikitis: after you make the file, gzip it with the highest compression13:43
nikitiswell i want to use lzma13:43
theadminnikitis: And that will.13:44
nikitisthe cleanest way to do it was the way I stated13:44
avunikitis: same thing, use tar, then lzma with -913:44
nikitisbut not sure where to add the -913:44
ActionParsnipfatninja: make a backup (as you should be already) then restore the backup13:44
fatninjait's that easy ?13:44

hapsterogra_ but Mir will be expected on 14.04 right? not 13.04?13:45
theadminfrew: System Settings -> Details -> Default apps13:45

ActionParsnipTaMpeRen: do yo ulike the scriptability in mirc?14:25
cfhowlettTaMpeRen, pretty sure you've already got an irc client in your ubuntu ...14:25
IzzoDizzoTaMpeRen, x-chat is ok14:25

layke_So, ActionParsnip, I can't "mount" the latest version? I don't really know how the kernels work, like they must be accessible somewhere?14:26
layke_I just added somethign invalid by mistake to /etc/sudoers so now nothing works for me.14:26
layke_And booting to recovery, I can't run pkexec visudo, and vi /etc/sudoers is read only, so I can't save.14:26
cfhowlettmarc_smith, not automatically no ...14:27
cfhowlettmarc_smith, and, as mentioned, recommended practice is to keep at least one "old" kernel ... just in cae.14:27

K1rkEver since CUPS was updated automatically on my print server (I suspect by unattended-upgrades), I am having issues.  How can I roll back that update?14:57

Omen_20Hi. This is a technical question, but does anyone think it could be possible in the future for Ubuntu to run between multiple CPUs? They've shown off the ability for Ubuntu to dock, but that's always from it running on one CPU in the phone/tablet. Would it be possible for Ubuntu to divide work between say an ARM and x86? They're not only two CPUs, but different architectures. My reason for asking is the ASUS Transformer AIO.15:02

holsteinBennyz: you are looking for that boot option, for recovery.. where do you choose ubuntu? can you hit escape or shift as the links i gave suggest?15:57
BennyzActionParsnip: I'm pretty sure I don't have it, but I'll try again to be sure15:57
ActionParsnipBennyz: or anyting similar really15:58

Bennyzholstein: in the screen that appears in ActionParsnip's link15:58

MsCourtneyHi, I have installed Ubuntu on an Intel Express Cache mSata ssd. This gave me an option to boot ''Ubuntu'' in EFI setup which I used to boot Ubuntu. After changing some settings it only detects ''Windows Boot manager'' and I cannot boot to Ubuntu.16:02

jribjil: for the gtk settings, I used to do this by adding "gtk-enable-accels = 0" to ~/.gtkrc-2.0. You may also need to do something related to gtk3 now though (I'm not sure). The file for gtk3 is ~/.config/gtk-3.0/settings.ini16:03

azradActionParsnip, well i was messing around with something called bumblebee and well it put me into an 800x600 resolution (only option on display settings), i purged bumblebee, and tried to reinstall the nvidia current, now i'm up to 1024x768 on dispaly screen, also under additional drivers it says nvidia-current installed but not in use16:07

ActionParsniplayke: run:   uname -a    this is the current kernel16:14
ActionParsniplayke: run:   dpkg -l | grep linux-image      these are the installed kernels16:14
idrofoxshould i use conky in ubuntu 12.10 for widgets ?16:14
ActionParsniplayke: you can remove any amount of kernels but NOT the running kernel, and NOT the one which doesn't have version numbers in the package name16:14
ActionParsnipidrofox: if you want16:15
cornfeedhoboPici: so i have to speak with the dude that removed it?? it doesnt say how its obsolete16:15
laykeActionParsnip, Thanks. Would I use dpkg to remove as well?16:15
laykeAlso, I fixed that issue an hour+ ago about messing up with my /etc/sudoers. I booted to recovery mode, endable networking to get write enabled, and booted to shell. I then removed the bad line and saved.16:16
laykeHowever, now when I start up, I jump straight to shell.16:16
ActionParsniplayke: use apt-get16:16
laykeIt doesn't launch my GUI. I am using kubuntu, if that matters?16:16
ActionParsniplayke: if you see any that start 'rc' instead of 'ii'   you can use:   sudo dpkg -P linux-image-3.x.x.x-generic     (obviosly yours will be different) to purge the old settings and clear them from the list16:17
laykeThey are all ii16:17
=== mogitox is now known as mogitaff
ActionParsniplayke: if you get lost; just clear the terminal and rerun the first 2 commands :)16:18
laykeYeah, I'm following everythign you said to remove the old kernals. :)16:18
ActionParsniplayke: I recommend keeping the running kernel as well as the one before, just in case16:18
laykeAnd presumably, if I have say Windows 7 (loader) on /dev/sda1, I can edit grub.cfg to edit this out, and rm -rf /dev/sda1 ?? (I don't know how /dev/ works so not sure?)16:19
ActionParsniplayke: no need, the post uninstall removes it from grub for you16:19
laykeI've definitely nuked the partition that Windows was previously installed on, so I can clear it out.16:19
laykeYeah, but I mean, grub (I guess) auto detected a windows bootloader, and inserted it itself?16:20
laykeBut that should be removed, since it's leftover, old and doesn't work?16:20
azradActionParsnip, heheh thanks again, that fixed me right up!16:20
ActionParsniplayke: you may find grub drops the boot, you can always remove it in the grub config but you don't touch grub.cfg as it is generated16:20
ActionParsnipazrad: you only need bumblebee if you have a switchable GPU16:21
laykeOkay. Thanks for that tip. That's how I got in trouble with the /etc/sudoers in the first place!16:21
ActionParsnipazrad: you can now install the nvidia driver as you wish16:21
azradActionParsnip, yeah, i really goofed, thanks for screwed my head back on straight, later guys16:21
laykeDo you have any idea on that previous point I asked? I'm not sure why I boot to shell on my latest linux version now? 3.2.0 is what I've been using for the last month or so.. I screwed up the /etc/sudoers and then fixed it16:22

laykeSeems to keep finding the Windows 7 (loader) on /dev/sda1, (I guess it's just the bootloader). I don't have windows lying around.16:27

ubottufsck is the FileSystem ChecKer, which runs automatically when you boot if you didn't shutdown cleanly. Type "man fsck" for information on running it manually.

zteamhd1, another way, should be by trying with sudo update-grub from a liveusb stick17:34
compdocmemememe, could be as simple as the type of cpu and mainboard. Using 10-04 is a bad idea, btw17:34

holsteinmemememe: i would just read about the difference in the generic vs the server.. you should have the best kernel for your setup. you can search for the server kernel from the pacakge maanger of your choice and install it if needed.. but i wouldnt worry with it17:39
zteammemememe, hmm... U can install the right kernel with apt-get if you then remove the other one, your system will be forced to use that one.... I guess17:39

memememethe problem is that I have a raid controller which ubuntu 10.04 does not support.

ubottunetsplit is when two IRC servers of the same network (like freenode) disconnect from each other, so users on one server stop seeing users on the other. If this is happening now, just relax and enjoy the show. See http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Netsplit17:45

AfflictoHello everyone. So I installed 12.10 on my old Dell laptop, everything was fine untill I ran all the updates, when I rebooted I have no network devices available. What do I do?17:47
holsteinAfflicto: i would just boot the older kernel and test17:47
hd1zteam I have made a USB stick17:49
hd1I just can't boot into the system17:49
Afflictoholstein: boot the older kernel? do you mean I do a re-install again without updating?17:50
dd__hello, is it pointless to install fail2ban if i am using ssh keys to login?17:51
CatKillerdd__: pretty much17:52
holsteinAfflicto: nope.. i mean you reboot, and select the older kernel that worked.. and test.. it should take about 48 seconds to test.. you can tap shift on reboot to see the grub list if its hidden17:52
CatKillerdd__: Unless you think that the odds are too high17:52
holsteinhd1: did you fsck the drive? did you test the memory?17:52
Afflictoholstein: oh that's neat. I'll try.17:52
* kalenjohnson waves17:53
dd__CatKiller: figured. i would still want ufw to locked down ports, right? anything else i should have at a bare minimum?17:53

dd__CatKiller: ubuntu's firewall17:54
CatKillermhhh interesting17:54
CatKillerdd__: Well if the machine's going to solely be used as a "ufw", then only SSH seems to be required. My advice would be: Only enable what is required, close the rest.17:54
Afflictoholstein: I tapped shift with a 0.5 sec interval from the POST but no grub thing :\17:55
mneptokdd__: i personally use denyhosts. far easier to set up and coinfigure.17:55
mneptokdd__: and i get a ton of hosts every day that get banned. they can't get in, due to key-only logins, but it's still nice to know they're blacklisted.17:55

zteamhd1, well, good now - open a new Terminal, then type: sudo add-apt-repository ppa:yannubuntu/boot-repair && sudo apt-get update17:56
mneptokdd__: what services besides sshd do you have running?17:56
CatKillermneptok: I noticed anyways that the same IP won't be trying for too long, so even if you didn't ban them you would probably not see that many more attempts17:56

dd__mneptok: ok, should nginx be running as its own user?17:57

mneptokdd__: and disable any PHP functions you don't need. especially register_globals17:58
dd__mneptok: so would all my web files need to be in the nginx group?17:58

GeOthanks21:52
dsprcsatonio: you can also use alt+spacebar (assuming the feature is still used in unity) and itll pop up a menu as well21:52
GeOcan you explain how the "rm" command is achieved with this : find . -type f -atime 28 -exec echo "will execute rm on {}" \;21:53

GyhyI have a new Lenovo B570e laptop and need help regarding UEFI22:16
GyhyI can't find anything that indicates it is using UEFI or not, nothing in the BIOS Setup menu22:17
bcbc2msev: https://help.ubuntu.com/community/ResizeandDuplicateWubiDisk22:17
FanfyI seriously don't want to wait 2 hours either...22:17
GyhySo I have installed Windows 722:17
Gyhyand I checked the hard disk, it says it is an MBR disk22:17
GyhySo this indicates that my Win7 is not booting in UEFI, right?22:18
jhutchins_wkGyhy: Why do you think UEFI is involved?22:18
GyhyI read online that this model is using UEFI22:18
jhutchins_wkGyhy: UEFI replaces the BIOS, so if you have a BIOS menu...22:18
msevBcb2 yea i was lookin at that..is it reliable?22:18
GyhyIt is in fact a Setup menu :)22:18
GyhyI'm afraid that if I install Ubuntu as usual I might break my current Windows 7 installation!22:19
jhutchins_wkmsev: Any time you mess with partitions there's a chance of data loss.  Especially if humans are involved.  Make backups.22:20
GyhyThe disk on which Windows7 is installed is an MBR, does that indicate GRUB will boot normally?22:20
jhutchins_wkGyhy: Yes.22:20
bekksGyhy: No.22:20
jhutchins_wkbekks: ?22:20
kalenjohnsonhaha22:20
GyhyYes or No??!22:20
bekksThe disk label type does not indicate anything about grub.22:20
Fanfywell the java thing may have worked....maybe not sure yet22:20
bcbc2msev: it creates a new copy - so you can test it fully without risk to the original22:20
ylliwhat time i don't time this22:21
Fanfynope nevermind...22:21
bcbc2!tab | msev22:21
ubottumsev: You can use your <tab> key for autocompletion of nicknames in IRC, as well as for completion of filenames and programs on the command line.22:21
jhutchins_wkbekks: mbr is not a partition label, it stands for Master Boot Record, which is where both grub and the windows bootloader store their bootstrap code.22:21
bekksjhutchins_wk: I do know what a MBR is pretty well.22:21
kalenjohnsonUsually Grub loads instead of MBR. MBR loads then it sort of ignores anything but Windows, doesn't it?22:22
bekksjhutchins_wk: And the existance of an MBR does not indicate anything about grub22:22
kalenjohnson*if MBR loads22:22
bekkskalenjohnson: No. Grub is loaded from the MBR, in a perfect setup.22:22
k1l_kalenjohnson: mbr is not the windows loader22:22
kalenjohnsonmy bad22:22
jhutchins_wkThe MBR may contain lilo, grub, or windows bootloader code.  It is not a bootloader but a Record (that's what the R stands for).22:22
msevI'm typing from the phone..otherwise i know the tab trick :)..Do some of u guys use cinamon or are u hardcore unity fans?22:22
GyhyDoes booting from an MBR indicates that the PC can boot in BIOS/Legacy mode?22:23
bekksjhutchins_wk: Correct. It may contain, there is no indication that it does, and thus there is no indication that grub will work correctly.22:23
k1l_msev: for cinnamon support see the mint support. for chat about what is best or what people use see #ubuntu-discuss or #ubuntu-offtopic22:23
jhutchins_wkGyhy: Yes.  It means it probably can't boot in any other mode.22:23
jhutchins_wkbekks: Except this is the standard, normal configuration that grub works under.22:24
jhutchins_wkbekks: You are very confused.22:24
jhutchins_wkbekks: This question is whether UEFI is involved, and with this setup it clearly is not.22:24
bcbc2msev: it's more so my nick is highlighted and I don't miss your message22:24
GyhyCan I say now that my PC does NOT use UEFI, then?22:24
bekksjhutchins_wk: I am not. :) I am just pointing out that the existance of an MBR does not indicate that grub actually will work correctly.22:24
jhutchins_wkGyhy: Yes.22:24
ontoHi! I am using ubuntu 12.04 and I want one of my C++ programs to emit an audible beep; how do I do it?22:25
Gyhybut according to the following page, my laptop DOES support UEFI! https://help.ubuntu.com/community/UEFI#Identifying_if_the_computer_boots_the_HDD_in_EFI_mode22:25
jhutchins_wkGyhy: Perhaps more pertinent is whether the partition table is MSDOS style or GPT, but I think you can be assured that it's not GPT.22:25

NanaharuI was here yesterday, sadly to no avail. But I am now trying to install Ubuntu to my bare HDD on a computer I know will run ubuntu. Now since the problem may be drivers, is it possible to install the drivers now and then have it boot properly on a computer it was not booting properly before on?23:29

RB2Good Evening. How do I prevent the kernel from automatically updating in 12.10? I've been hunting for an answer, but I'm apparently missing something.23:35
k1l_RB2: use apt-pinning23:36
icerootRB2: why?23:36
RB2k1l_, thanks.23:36

icerootRB2: just use apt-get upgrade insteadf of apt-get dist-upgrade and you will not get a newer kernel23:36
RB2iceroot, I have some strange issues with the binary nvidia driver, so I need to do those manually.23:36
icerootRB2: but that is a security risc, because new updates are fixing security issues23:36
NanaharuCan you install drivers for graphics cards without the graphic card in the computer?23:36
icerootNanaharu: sure23:37
gaara_akashhas anyone done any ubuntu touch development here?23:37
icerootNanaharu: you can install every package, doesnt matter if you have the hardware or not23:37
icerootgaara_akash: #ubuntu-devel23:38
RB2iceroot, if it updates the kernel automatically, it takes much longer for me to fix it again than to just do it manually. ;)23:38
NanaharuIceroot : So if I were to install ubuntu  onto a hard drive from a different computer, install the proper drivers and then plug in the it back into the machine I was having difficulties with, it should work?23:38
icerootNanaharu: normally yes23:38
Nanaharuiceroot : well I've tried everything else...23:38
gaara_akashiceroot, thanks23:38
icerootNanaharu: but maybe the initial system will not work anymore because maybe the driver is doing changes in /etc/X11/xorg.conf23:38
Nanaharuiceroot : is there anyway to fix that?23:39
JokesOnYou77Where should I put scripts so that I can use them with sudo?23:39
icerootJokesOnYou77: you can put them everywhere, sudo will always work with them23:39
icerootNanaharu: redo the changes in xorg.conf if there are changes23:40
icerootundo23:40
JokesOnYou77iceroot, sorry, should have been more specific.  I mean so that I don't have to specify an absolute path or be in the same directory.23:40
icerootJokesOnYou77: /usr/local/bin for example23:41
Nanaharuiceroot : awesome I shall keep that in mind... by chance could you tell me how to install NVIDIA GTX drivers?23:41
JokesOnYou77iceroot, ty23:41
icerootJokesOnYou77: echo $PATH wil show the paths23:41
iceroot!nvidia | Nanaharu23:41
ubottuNanaharu: For Ati/NVidia/Matrox video cards, see https://help.ubuntu.com/community/VideoDriverHowto23:41
Nanaharuiceroot : thanks so much~!23:41
JokesOnYou77iceroot, will that show the path for sudo? My understanding is that sudo uses a fresh path, and I'm not actually sure what's in that path23:42
JokesOnYou77iceroot, figured it out.  Thank you23:43
icerootJokesOnYou77: sudo -i; echo $PATH23:43
icerootJokesOnYou77: that is the PATH defined for root23:43
icerootJokesOnYou77: but /usr/local/bin is fine in that case23:44
