[00:00] when i ran sudo update-grub i don't think so [00:00] mount it and check === resba|Out is now known as resba [00:00] ubuntu is /dev/sda1 and android is /dev/sda3 [00:00] check what === [Saint_] is now known as [Saint] [00:00] Bray90820: I mean try again [00:00] ok [00:01] and this is the x86 android? [00:01] so i should do it while mounted [00:01] will try [00:01] can i do it from a live disk [00:01] well waite [00:01] yeah, I think so. [00:01] VanessaE: 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 different [00:01] oh, lol. I forgot you were in a live disc [00:01] it won't work right now anyways because i still have the android grub [00:02] oh that's right, I forgot to fiddle with the various repositories. lemme check that first. [00:02] ntzrmtthihu777 i need to change from android grub to ubuntu grub [00:03] Bray90820: exactly. Boot-repair shoulda done it, did you check out that ppa? [00:03] i will right now [00:03] Ubuntu: Where is the portslist located? === wedgwood is now known as wedgwood_away [00:03] one: Whats a "portslist"? [00:03] bekks: the local file that defines ports [00:04] GoT_r00t: you got my root [00:04] one: /etc/services - which is pretty useless, since it isnt evaluated when an applications tries to open a port. [00:04] I'm bored with my box. I want to do something fun. Any ideas? [00:04] To bad ubuntu does not have a way to select which apps not to installed when the os is instaled. [00:04] Bray90820: sudo add-apt-repository ppa:yannubuntu/boot-repair && sudo apt-get update [00:05] haryv: the alternate installer gives you a bit more control over that as I recall [00:05] Bray90820: sudo apt-get install -y boot-repair && (boot-repair &) [00:05] okay did not know there was a alternative [00:05] at least, you can select whole categories anyway, which will help pare down the install size somewhat [00:06] After ufw creates iptables rules are they saved and reloaded by iptables or ufw on reboot? [00:06] haryv: Using 12.04, you could use the minimal iso. [00:06] ubuntu is a butifull os. Really supprised there is even twitter archive discussions on the install process showing up on screen. [00:06] the & represents a new command right? [00:06] I started using linux when it was just two or three distros in 1997 [00:06] Bray90820: No. & puts a command into the background [00:07] ok, repos enabled and updates installed. let's see what THIS breaks ;) [00:07] bekks: thank you, I forgot the name [00:07] so this command should be rub all as one command [00:07] sudo add-apt-repository ppa:yannubuntu/boot-repair && sudo apt-get update [00:07] yup [00:07] ok [00:07] i get you [00:07] and the other after that is done [00:07] will do that now [00:07] Bray90820: && is used for "execute cmd1 and if successful, execute cmd2" [00:08] ahh [00:08] well, that had no effect on the subpixel color fringes.. [00:08] (but at least I'm up-to-date again) [00:09] parentheses should be there right [00:09] Bray90820: as I pasted it [00:09] ok [00:10] sorry to ask so many questions [00:10] Bray90820: no prob, its a support channel after all [00:10] yea [00:10] I think my issue is that "lcd filtering" on top of the subpixel antialiasing simply is not working [00:10] Ubuntu: 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? [00:11] one: There is no root password. [00:11] j [00:11] !root | one [00:11] one: Do not try to guess the root password, that is impossible. Instead, realise the truth... there is no root password. Then you will see that it is 'sudo' that grants you access and not the root password. Look at https://help.ubuntu.com/community/RootSudo [00:11] one: interesting question, keep them from getting root access in the first place and it wont happen [00:11] bekks: I modified my system to not use sudo but root [00:12] one: Which is a very bad idea. [00:12] one: why. [00:12] bekks: I would not say bad so much as advanced. [00:12] because if there is an exploitable program running as the sudo user its easier to gain sudo [00:13] ntzrmtthihu777: After knowing about the existance of sudo -i, setting a root password is an even more bad idea. [00:13] sudo is better than root. sudo goes away. [00:13] bekks: in some situations you must. backtrack is run solely as root, for instance, because of the nature of its functions [00:14] sudo is just a security risk [00:14] one: and root isnt? isnt that the very basis of your question, the risk posed by root access? [00:14] ntzrmtthihu777: thats what sudo is designed for. backtrack is a pretty neat example for a bad design. [00:14] one: you are a funny man [00:14] what should I install to overcome this error?> regex.hpp: No such file or directory [00:14] s [00:15] sudo just gives a user root access which may be running exploitable programs [00:15] sudo just gives all memory exploits root [00:15] and root doesn't? [00:15] one: are you high? [00:15] if root isnt running them then no [00:15] root is like admin in windows [00:16] look at top [00:16] one: I can do anything root can with sudo [00:16] elisa87: libboost1.49-dev or possibly an earlier version if you aren't on 12.10 [00:16] i feel the troll [00:16] one: you gotta be high or ignorant. [00:16] trism I am using 12.04 which version should I install? using sudo apt-get or another method? [00:16] anything in top can have an exploit so giving sudo to the user running most of the processes just makes it more vulnerable [00:17] one: and again full root access is the very same! [00:17] trism: E: Couldn't find any package by regex 'libboost1.49-dev' [00:17] elisa87: apt-cache search -n boost dev; and see what versions you have [00:17] ntzrmtthihu777: but im not running everything as root [00:17] are there any SIMPLE (not gimp) paint programs I can use to crop a screenshot? [00:17] Random832: yes, imagemagick [00:18] simple and interactive [00:18] Random832 pinta [00:18] or tell me how to use imagemagick that will let me do it interactively [00:18] fixed my problem finally. Can someone please add this link to an appropriate wiki or whatever? [00:18] Random832, there are some web apps that are real simple [00:18] http://askubuntu.com/questions/110026/how-do-i-finetune-subpixel-font-anti-aliasing [00:18] as in with point and click? [00:18] gpaint and rgbpaint both don't have crop tools [00:18] THIS was my problem. [00:18] ntzrmtthihu777: yes [00:18] then nope [00:19] Random832: what part are you trying to crop out of a screenshot? [00:20] Hello. [00:20] elisa87, libboost-regex1.49.0 [00:21] elisa87, so just apt-get install libboost-regex [00:21] anyway, one last question: [00:22] VanessaE: yes? [00:22] Random832 try pinta [00:22] Random832 it is easy [00:22] When 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. [00:23] which one should I really be using? [00:23] whatever one works for you [00:24] normal -> post -> experimental -> exp Beta. [00:24] I think is the order of 'age/version' [00:24] well 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? [00:25] better preformance/support for newer hardware, vs chance of breaking [00:26] so when is 13.04 Beta 1 coming out? [00:26] http://www.reddit.com/r/AdultDating18/comments/19t7e6/sexi_and_thick_snow_bunny_atlantaga_airport/ [00:26] !schedule [00:26] A schedule of Raring Ringtail (13.04) release milestones can be found here: https://wiki.ubuntu.com/RaringRingtail/ReleaseSchedule [00:26] gynna, just tell us what it is [00:27] better that he dosent.. ;) sounds OT to me.

[00:30] people never noticce the version # is the date of release [00:31] heh, well I [00:31] heh, well I'm relatively new to ubuntu, have only seen one new release, quantal [00:31] dr_willis cool never realized that [00:31] I installed boost but I am receiving this error: /usr/bin/ld: error: cannot find -lboost_regex [00:32] I am just asking because my ubuntu offered me to "Update to the new Release 13.04" like 15 minutes ago. [00:33] elisa87: 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) [00:34] elisa87: libboost-regex-* [00:34] Hello all, got an ATi card and trying to deal with the terrible drivers - How does one get the Dual desktops to work?

[01:18] does ubuntu run ok on the chromebook pixel [01:18] subcool https://help.ubuntu.com/community/Boot-Repair [01:18] subcool: i mnetione dit yesterday. theres a link on the ubuntu boot repair wiki page. its a 32/64 bit (dual version) live cd - just for running boot-repair [01:18] dr_willis, i reinstall freshly my livecd. this is baby fresh. - dakotawulfy yea- that its installed. when i run the program it errors with an open packagemanager. [01:18] dr_willis, yea- i know.. thats next on my list of things to do... [01:18] maxped: curl -s "url" | sed 's|"|\n|g' | grep "target link" > text.txt [01:19] dr_willis, im going to setup a dual boot with yumi... [01:19] after this.. [01:19] lol [01:19] yea there is a guide , you have to use the remix for 64bits [01:19] subcool: Hmm.. that dosent make sence. [01:19] ntzrmtthihu777 i ALMOST have it [01:19] exactly :/ [01:20] I got boot-repair installed on my 12.10 system with no issues.. so not sure what your apt issues are about [01:20] but when i try to load android from grub it is saying error you need to load the kernel firat [01:20] Bray90820: see? I use a similar technique to load an iso [01:20] so do you know how i would fix it? [01:20] Bray90820: pastebin your 40_custom [01:20] dr_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] ok [01:21] subcool: perhaps its heking for newer versions of itself.. [01:21] checking [01:21] it may have an option to not do that. [01:21] dr_willis, im opening the app again now. [01:22] i rarely actually need to RUN the boot-repair tool. ;) [01:22] ntzrmtthihu777: 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] I just have it installed just in case. [01:22] I 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] maxped: exactly why do you need it? [01:22] bbl [01:23] ntzrmtthihu777: to copy long random character string url into other app [01:23] I'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. [01:24] hmm, you could, instead of the > text.txt, pass it into the next part with | [01:25] ntzrmtthihu777: true, but im sure your other idea will work, i just want to make sure i know what i am doing. [01:25] the crackle is on all 5.1 speakers, and only while music is playing in audacious, totem. VLC doesn't do it. neither does flash. [01:26] maxped: 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. [01:27] ntzrmtthihu777: manpage says curl -s makes curl silent [01:28] http://wstaw.org/m/2013/03/07/snapshot1.png [01:28] maxped: yup, curl snatches the source, but -s makes it do it invisibly, you don't want the source for a page streaming across your tty [01:28] dr_willis, ^^ === ident is now known as Guest78878 [01:29] is there a graphical window to disable services that are running in memory? === ericab is now known as ericab_away [01:29] haryv: gnome-system-monitor === ericab_away is now known as ericab [01:30] haryv: like task manager in win$ [01:30] yes,,,it working now === Strife is now known as Guest87474 [01:30] ntzrmtthihu777 http://pastebin.com/raw.php?i=uj4Qnm7a [01:31] it might take a few minutes to load tho because pastebin is over capacity [01:31] Bray90820: holy crap [01:31] anyone know why 'vgchange -a n test' doesn't deactivate all the LVs in test? After the vgchange I run lvscan and all the LVs show as active [01:31] lol [01:31] why i get the feeling compwiz is imprtant [01:32] compiz is the window manager used by unity [01:32] well, mistale for killing it :) [01:32] haryv: epic. fail. === ericab is now known as ericab_away [01:32] lol [01:33] killing init would be epic [01:33] killing compiz is trivial. ;) [01:34] dr_willis: I can uninstall compiz if I only use gnome-fallback, right? [01:34] ntzrmtthihu777: i suggest leaveing it alone [01:34] ntzrmtthihu777, no reason uninstall unless you are out of disk space [01:35] dr_willis: escott: I set a 16gb root, plenty of space but I wanna keep it that way [01:38] My mouse has jammed Ubuntu:12.04 [01:38] Bray90820: still not loading [01:38] http://wstaw.org/m/2013/03/07/snapshot1.png dr_willis [01:38] LOL [01:38] Bray90820: ubuntu has its own paste, try that one [01:38] compwiz should be called killthiscrashdesktop [01:38] anyone have experience configuring LVM?

[01:41] why does vgchange -a n or lvchange -a n seem to have no effect even though the command runs successfully [01:42] Bray90820: its cool, /q me. I don't want my email in open irc (not that I don't trust you guys) [01:42] im just going to send you a dropbox link [01:43] Bray90820: that works too [01:43] https://dl.dropbox.com/u/33402675/Untitled%20Document%202.txt [01:43] haryv: you are thinking in wondows terms/mindset... you really dont need to worry about succh things for the most part [01:44] haryv: the biggest threat to a linux system i find.. is the admin/root user, doing silly things.. ;) [01:44] yes true [01:44] btw, thanks guys for responding to my questions.

[01:45] I had to use a pry-bar to get the guys in windows-server to answer anything. [01:45] haryv: thats win$ for you [01:46] it is not [01:46] mabey just the attitudes of the guys there.

[02:06] The problem is occuring on an Ubuntu 12.04.1 LTS 32-bit system on VirtualBox 4.1.16 on Windows 7 64-bit [02:06] ntzrmtthihu777: curl i picked up pretty quick, sed im getting, just hard remebering when to use what and what options to use. [02:06] puraki: again, you cannot expect full performance under a virtualbox under win$ [02:07] puraki: virtualbox has issues with unity due to 3d driver supports. you may be using Unity2d by default that does not have all the fancy eye candy effects [02:07] Why woul anyone want to use virtualbox under windows? [02:07] maxped: sed and awk are by far two of the most usefull commands to learn [02:07] I am using Unity 3D [02:07] aaron_: to have a little linux system to use for real work. ;) [02:07] not 2D [02:08] puraki: how are you sure of that? [02:09] Because I checked on the login screen [02:09] dr_willis: I haven't touched windows quite literally in years, guess Im one of the lucky ones :) [02:09] I clicked the little ubuntu icon [02:09] and selected Ubuntu, not Ubuntu 2D [02:09] aaron_: I just completely got rid of win$ on my machines [02:09] puraki: thats not proof.. If the 3d drivers are not found.. the system Can default to unity-2d i reccall.. [02:10] try selecting unity 2d and see if it works the same [02:10] ok [02:10] * dr_willis wonders why it really matters [02:10] * ntzrmtthihu777 thinks its because win$ gotta have flash over performance [02:10] how do I deactivate a logical volume or a volume group? vgchange -an test doesn't do anything [02:10] i normally use Lubuntu in vbox [02:11] Same thing happens [02:12] puraki: thin in that case it is defaulting to 2d ike he said. [02:12] puraki: and I repeat: you cannot expect to get full performance under vbox under win$ [02:13] i normally use Lubuntu in vbox..... [02:15] never got the answer to my question, only opinions. can I remove compiz if I only boot gnome-fallback [02:15] ntzrmtthihu777: best to leave it alone.. [02:15] dr_willis: not my question. [02:15] your space saveing will be minimal. and chance of breakeing somthhing is there. [02:15] go for it and see if you really want to [02:16] dr_willis: I suppose he can re-install compiz if something turns out to be broken. Right? [02:16] I don't see how anything can break as compiz is never used [02:16] ... reinstalling will more-than-likely fix what ever gets broken. [02:17] I don't ever uninstall compiz so I don't really know. [02:18] ... But it does make sense to uninstall compiz if you never intend to use it... [02:19] :/ ubuntu-tweak depends on it [02:19] so if I uninstall compiz it will take out ubuntu-tweak, and installing that will reinstall compiz? [02:21] I really wish they would add support for other locations in ~/.config/user-dirs.dirs === Guest48005 is now known as vibhav === Ard1t is now known as Guest46225 [02:25] ntzrmtthihu777, like what?

[02:27] you can add anything to it, but it won't do much good [02:27] http://prntscr.com/vbgiq with Unity 3D | http://prntscr.com/vbgt2 with Unity 2D [02:27] ntzrmtthihu777, what would you expect it to do though? [02:28] ntzrmtthihu777, its just a way to localize certain folder names. nothing else [02:28] The dash looks darker in Unity 2D than in Unity 3D. [02:29] escott: kinda silly, and more or less aethetic, but I hate that I have to add ~/Dropbox and ~/Ubuntu\ One to bookmarks, and they don't get added into the "computer" section of nautilus or the gnome2 places menu [02:30] escott: I actually have my ~/Dropbox set up in place of ~/Public so that at least works right, but what about Ubuntu One? [02:30] ntzrmtthihu777, any reason it cannot be the same? [02:30] ntzrmtthihu777, you have to be careful because public implies a folder that should be shared by things like samba [02:31] escott: I sacrificed ~/Public (which I never use) for dropbox, but there are no other folders to sacrifice. [02:31] escott: I don't use samba, no win$ boxes to share with [02:31] ~/CloudJunk [02:31] I am trying to follow the instructions here http://aperiodic.net/screen/faq#when_i_split_the_display_and_then_detach_screen_forgets_the_split but I can't detach the session. [02:32] dr_willis: no, then they would likely sync together wasting even more cloud space. [02:32] puraki: what did you use to take these screenies, a win$ program or ubuntu? [02:32] I wonder if theres a fuse tool to merge all my cloud storage into one bigger storage. ;) [02:33] dr_willis, that would be awesome. lvm for fuse. [02:33] lightshot [02:33] on windows [02:33] only 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] That's where I keep all my ultra-secret spy passwords. [02:34] dr_willis: ah so only little things. I back up gb's worth of stuff to the cloud, so I need it to be frugal [02:35] escott: but in particular ~/Dropbox and ~/Ubuntu\ One [02:35] so 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] heh, really? [02:35] I find the Space in 'Ubuntu One' to be a bit annoying. ;) [02:35] dr_willis: As do I, I am using a terminal client so it escapes it :/ [02:36] Yea. 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] I only store a truecrypt container on dropbox. [02:36] dr_willis: waittaminute, dammit I've been doing that! [02:37] dr_willis: gnome-fallback does not use gnome3, right? [02:37] ntzrmtthihu777: 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] I dont use gnome fallback.. but i would say YES it does use gnome3 [02:37] dr_willis: cbr == <3 [02:37] It does [02:37] or at least parts of it. [02:38] dr_willis: so nifty! [02:38] the next gnome 3.8? it supposed to have an actual gnome2 theme or somthing from what ive seen. [02:38] dr_willis: I hope so, I can't stand unity [02:38] I perfer gnome-shell to the flakey fallback/failsafe/grandfather modes. ;) [02:38] unity works fine for me.. [02:38] 13.04 has some neat features added to it also. [02:38] dr_willis: I'm using a touch-screen pc and I still cant stand it [02:39] cant say i have any issues with it..

[03:09] Ububegin: what language? [03:11] ntzrmtthihu777: are 'cvc', 'vc' and 'romaji', 'kana' variables [03:11] ? [03:11] maxped: yesh [03:11] they are types of files with different setups [03:12] actually if you are looking at the conv_cv_vcv(){ sections these are function names [03:12] ntzrmtthihu777: cool, that will definatley be something to get me started, thanks. [03:13] ntzrmtthihu777: English, :) [03:13] maxped: this was my first major bash work. I want to make it pure cli, but as of yet it has a text based menu interface [03:14] Ububegin: nevermind then. I was aware of on that did japanese, but you can make it speak "engrish", but thats about it. [03:16] ntzrmtthihu777 so what were you saying [03:17] Bray90820: did you try swappint root=/dev with boot=/dev? [03:17] what do you mean [03:18] Bray90820: I mean on the line that says root=/dev/ram0 try boot= [03:18] ok [03:19] hello [03:19] Hi, I have a question [03:20] about ubuntu lucid [03:20] do you guys have a social channel ? something like #ubuntu-offtopic ? [03:20] !EOL | hossein [03:20] hossein: End-Of-Life is the time when security updates and support for an Ubuntu release stop, see https://wiki.ubuntu.com/Releases for more information. Looking to upgrade from an EOL release? See https://help.ubuntu.com/community/EOLUpgrades [03:20] can anyone tell me how [03:20] mmnicolas: exactly that [03:20] to add new repository in lucid [03:20] so I decided to use a previous kernel, because wireless doesn't work in the new kernel, How can I lock this kernel so that I don't have to select the old kernel from the grub everytime I boot the laptop ? [03:21] new repositories for what exactly? hossein [03:21] hossein: lucid is no longer supported officially, but you can find out. [03:21] I will write the path of it [03:21] I am a researcher [03:21] i need to use others software [03:21] this is the website [03:22] http://gmplib.org [03:22] its likely you will need to compile from source hossein [03:22] wow seams so dificult [03:22] unless the site specifically mentions they have a ppa for lucid. [03:22] as I am new to ubuntu [03:22] You are the one using an out of date release.. i suggest you upgrade to a newer release [03:23] I cant [03:23] the software which requires this website pacage can only be installed [03:23] hossein: why ? [03:23] using this [03:23] we CAN read more then 3 words on a single line hossein , no need to hit enter every 3 words... [03:24] I am getting mad :D [03:24] you would be surprised what you can do on a newer release [03:24] I used 12.10 [03:24] but I have to use lucid now [03:24] hossein: try 12.04, its supported for 5 more years [03:25] I cant [03:25] why not? [03:25] the third party software that I am using is that old that can only work on lucid [03:25] hossein: what does the 3rd party software do [03:26] just let me know how to add this site as a repository in lucid [03:26] guess 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] It is for robotics [03:26] hossein: just because they have a web site does NOT mean they have a ppa for it. === jeff_ is now known as Guest50821 [03:26] but the readme file said they have it [03:27] hossein, build it youself http://gmplib.org/devel/repo-usage.html === semeion_ is now known as semeion [03:27] the software is tested before with their ppa [03:27] hossein: what does it say the ppa is? [03:27] hossein: it should be something like ppa:something/bar [03:28] tell me what deb means [03:28] the readme file may also be quite out of date. and they may have closed down the ppa [03:28] it does not work in lucid command [03:28] hossein: deb is like a windows installer [03:28] !apt | hossein [03:28] hossein: to install a deb you use [03:28] hossein: APT is the Advanced Package Tool, which together with dpkg forms the basic Ubuntu package management toolkit. Short apt-get manual: https://help.ubuntu.com/community/AptGetHowto - Also see !Synaptic (Gnome), !Muon (KDE) or !Apper (KDE) [03:28] .deb is the file extension for ubuntu packages [03:28] hossein: sudo dpkg -i name_of.deb [03:29] I have a question about installing Ubuntu onto a bare drive and UEFI... [03:29] Could anyone help? [03:29] !anyone | NanaHaru [03:29] NanaHaru: A high percentage of the first questions asked in this channel start with "Does anyone/anybody..." Why not ask your next question (the real one) and find out? See also !details, !gq, and !poll. [03:30] I just want to add the site as a repository in lucid [03:30] is there any comand base code?

All my hardware should be compatible. I've tried running various version on both CD and USb and it won't go past the "try Ubuntu" without either an error or just stopping. [03:31] you need the name from the readme [03:31] !details [03:31] Please give us full details. For example: "I have a problem with ..., I'm running Ubuntu version .... When I try to do ..., I get the following output: ..., but I expected it to do ..." [03:31] NanaHaru: you may need to run it in nomodeset [03:31] !gp [03:31] NanaHaru: what errors? [03:31] How do I run it in nomodeset? [03:31] !pg [03:31] thinking of dumping ubuntu simply because it was never setup with asterisk in mind. [03:32] I have no OS as of yet and it's UEFI [03:32] or asterisknow [03:32] haryv: what is asterisk [03:32] you can use the nomodeset option from the LIVE cd === puraki is now known as puraki-away [03:32] Okay I'll try that now~ [03:32] ntzr www.digium.com www.asterisk.com [03:33] so I decided to use a previous kernel, because wireless doesn't work in the new kernel, How can I lock this version of the kernel so that I don't have to select the old kernel from the grub everytime I boot the laptop ? [03:33] haryv: I'm getting a sale's website [03:33] ntzrmtthihu777: i havent tried what you said yeat but i did realize it was still trying to detect RC1 so i fixed that to RC2 [03:33] ntzrmtthihu777: rick rolled ? [03:33] and now it says detecting android [03:33] Bray90820: good [03:33] sales for what [03:33] stuff of seemingly sporty nature [03:33] but it's taking FOREVER to load [03:34] suhaib: remove the other kernel. or set the default entry in /etc/default/grub [03:34] Bray90820: what are your machine's specs [03:34] In my Modes option under f4 I only get the options to: "Normal" "Use driver update disc" and OEM install" [03:34] ntzrmtthihu777 http://www.dell.com/us/p/inspiron-duo/pd [03:34] I sell network installation services. I am a field tech. But...moving away from platforms like fieldnation.com just need some project managers willing to take me on for national store chains. [03:35] has anyone expirenced youtube.com playing videos really fast and the audio is just loud clicking? [03:35] Right now I'm using the Linux_secure ISO in accordance to a UEFI guide I was following [03:35] Bray90820: well this review sucks [03:36] ntzrmtthihu777 why [03:36] it says "the command not found!" [03:36] Bray90820: it does not tell me anything particularly usefull [03:36] hossein: what did you type exactly [03:36] dr_willis: thanks, so should I change this ? GRUB_DISTRIBUTOR=`lsb_release -i -s 2> /dev/null || echo Debian` [03:37] is this better [03:37] http://www.amazon.com/Dell-Inspiron-3487FNT-Convertible-Laptop/dp/B004EWEZM4 [03:37] lets do it again [03:37] this is what i typed [03:37] sudo add-get-repository ftp://ftp.gmplib.org [03:37] ntzrmtthihu777 is this better [03:37] ntzrmtthihu777 [03:37] ooops [03:38] hossein: why don't you google how to add a ppa ? [03:38] ntzrmtthihu777 http://www.amazon.com/Dell-Inspiron-3487FNT-Convertible-Laptop/dp/B004EWEZM4 [03:38] that one [03:38] Bray90820: better, thank you [03:38] :D I did it but still got problem [03:38] hossein: that is not the ppa [03:38] ok thanks [03:38] hossein, that should be apt-add-repository [03:38] :) [03:38] what? [03:39] oh ok [03:39] tgm4883: no, lol. should be add-apt-repository [03:39] ntzrmtthihu777, they are the same [03:39] hossein: the website is not the ppa [03:39] tgm4883: get out, for real? [03:40] So black screen with a whole bunch of white text.... When trying to "Try ubuntu before installing" is good or bad sign? as long as the underscore is blinking it's still loading? [03:40] ntzrmtthihu777, lrwxrwxrwx 1 root root 18 Feb 6 15:14 /usr/bin/apt-add-repository -> add-apt-repository [03:40] its add-apt-repository [03:40] hossein: you said the readme has the ppa in it, what does it say [03:40] tgm4883: no kidding [03:40] ntzrmtthihu777, bean so either works. but apt-get-repository does not [03:41] now the problem is the site! it said the site is invalid [03:41] ntzrmtthihu777 prob if i gave it like 30 minutes it would correctly boot [03:41] hossein: The site you listed earlier is not a PPA [03:41] okay, so I had hdmi working without audio. i added something to alsa-base.conf like someone suggested, and now i don't even get video signal. I deleted the line and still no video signal. ubuntu completely recognizes the tv in both display and sound though [03:41] How do I begin debugging? [03:41] NanaHaru: no, it seems you got a problem with the vga card [03:42] Hello. I'm trying to run dosbox on ubuntu but getting "DirectFB" errors..any idea where i could begin to start to troubleshoot? I've done some googling on the error but haven't really turned up much. [03:42] NanaHaru: what are the laptop/Pc specs ? [03:42] Oh so if I take out the VGA then I should be able to install? [03:42] Hi, got cut off.. Any good text to speech software/ or online pages which can convert paragraphs to wav/mp3 for a video presentation, we are doing in English.. Thanks [03:42] Sorry for the random question, but are there any reasons why Ubuntu would simply not work on a computer? [03:42] Ubuntu 12.10 [03:42] Motherboard: ASRock Z77 Extreme 4 Processor: Intel i7 Ivy Brige Graphics Card: NVIDIA EVGA GTX 680 FTW RAM: Vengeance 8Gb HDD: Seagate 1Tb [03:42] rhenzar: hardware incompatibility mostly [03:43] hossein: sudo add-apt-repository ppa:chris-lea/gmp [03:43] actually the software needs to download a package from the site but it cannot download it [03:43] hossein: 2 minutes of googling [03:43] ok [03:43] Ububegin: See, I built myself a PC with brand-new hardware and I can't run most distros.. Could that be why? [03:43] let me see [03:43] thanks all [03:44] Ububegin: Oh, also: only time Linux runs is in Wubi [03:44] ntzrmtthihu777, err, who is chris-lea? a dev for gmp I hope? [03:44] wubi == fail [03:44] tgm4883: it seems to be his, yeah [03:45] ntzrmtthihu777: The only reason I use Windows is to run Linux, that is my problem. New hardware I suppose? [03:45] rhenzar: have you tried a live cd [03:45] How do you wipe a cd that is re writtable in ubuntu? [03:45] rhenzar: hmm, try the liveCD [03:45] bsnl: acetoneiso has an option [03:45] !uefi | rhenzar [03:45] rhenzar: 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 [03:46] rhenzar: http://www.ubuntu.com/download/help/try-ubuntu-before-you-install [03:46] bsnl: I use k3b [03:46] Any good text to speech software/ or online pages which can convert paragraphs to wav/mp3 for a video presentation, we are doing in English.. Thanks [03:46] !cdrw | bsnl [03:46] bsnl: CD/DVD burning software: k3b (KDE), brasero (GNOME), gnomebaker, xcdroast, wodim (command-line) | To burn ISO files, see https://help.ubuntu.com/community/BurningIsoHowto [03:46] ntzrmtthihu777: Yeah, I've done everything from Debian/Ubuntu/Mint/Fedora, usually not able to see cursor/screen freaks out, says it can't find the linuz file sometimes... [03:46] ntzrmtthihu777 could it be that the guide was for grub 2 and i am using 1.99 [03:46] hossein: you want the instructions in this page [03:46] !good | Ububegin [03:47] Ububegin: Usually, there is no single "best" application to perform a given task. It's up to you to choose, depending on your preferences, features you require, and other factors. Do NOT take polls in the channel. If you insist on getting people's opinions, ask BestBot in #ubuntu-bots. [03:47] Bray90820: grub2 = 1.99 [03:47] hossein: http://gmplib.org/devel/repo-usage.html [03:47] ntzrmtthihu777 so ubuntu uses grub 2? [03:47] Bray90820: use [03:47] thanks [03:47] Bray90820: yes [03:47] I am going to read it [03:47] Any natural sounding text to speech software/ or online pages which can convert paragraphs to wav/mp3 for a video presentation, we are doing in English.. Thanks ... [03:47] ntzrmtthihu777 ok [03:47] bsnl: You can just use cdrecord with option blank=fast [03:48] histo: have replaced good with natural sounding .. :) [03:48] rhenzar: 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] hossein: you need to replace TARGDIR with the folder you want [03:48] !patience | Ububegin [03:48] Ububegin: 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/ [03:48] ntzrmtthihu777 this is taking forever so i am going to try changing root to boot [03:48] bsnl: Example: cdrecord dev=0,0,0 blank=fast [03:48] ntzrmtthihu777 it's been going almost 25 minutes [03:48] Bray90820: cool, but remember where you are in this, lol [03:48] Ububegin: 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] ntzrmtthihu777 what do you mean [03:49] Bray90820: I mean remeber the changes you make so if one breaks the process you know how to fix it [03:49] i always make a backup [03:49] bcbc2: 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] !nomodeset | rhenzar [03:49] rhenzar: A common kernel (boot)parameter is nomodeset, which is needed for some graphic cards that otherwise boot into a black screen or show corrupted splash screen. See http://ubuntuforums.org/showthread.php?t=1613132 on how to use this parameter [03:49] rhenzar: what graphics card do you have [03:50] suhaib so is it my specs? === owner_ is now known as Guest9947 [03:50] histo: ? [03:50] bcbc2: I just got a radeon 6870, why? [03:50] rhenzar: see the nomodeset comment [03:50] bcbc2: I'm new to IRC... [03:50] rhenzar: 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. [03:51] evening! [03:51] Hello [03:51] rhenzar: 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 them [03:51] bcbc2: Okay, but would that still apply if Wubi works completely fine (not talking about the different flavors, those are still buggy for me) [03:52] rhenzar: yes wubi is installed inside of the winblows partition booted using windows bootloader [03:52] histo: not subjective, some like Speak It ! sound downright robotic... [03:52] rhenzar: completely different animal [03:52] rhenzar: 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] histo: Okay, thanks. [03:53] rhenzar: 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] bcbc2: 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] Anyone 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. [03:54] rhenzar: exactly. You need to run additional-drivers and then install the proper graphics driver [03:54] bcbc2: I'll install and set up my favorite apps, and things will just start breaking. [03:55] rhenzar: using nomodeset will get you past the installer for a normal dual boot. [03:55] bcbc2: 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. [03:56] rhenzar: Most likely. [03:56] rhenzar: see this http://askubuntu.com/q/162075 [03:57] bcbc2: IRC is awesome! I've been struggling with this for a while, actually! [03:57] rhenzar: 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 bootloader [03:57] histo: Debian-based distros generally use grub 2, though, right? [03:58] rhenzar: 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 it [03:58] bcbc2: And I'm extremely thankful for that! [03:58] it doesn't work! [04:00] rhenzar: np Good luck installing [04:00] bcbc2: Before I go, any distros you can recommend? [04:00] rhenzar: sure.

[04:16] lol didn't know it was a paid app. [04:17] Bray90820: anything with that? [04:17] histo: Yeah, I wound up running it at a web hosting shop I worked at. It was obnoxious to get going. :-) [04:17] selena2013 : it's custome build intel i7 ivy bridge, ASRock z77 extreme 4 w/UEFI (it doesn't say W8 ready, just W7), and a NVIDIA GTX 680 GFX card [04:17] ntzrmtthihu777 with changing root to boot? [04:18] NanaHaru: should work.. Try your thumb drive on a different machien === calwig_ is now known as calwig [04:18] Bray90820: yes [04:18] histo : My thumb drive seemed to work once, well it got further than the rest... but it spent about 2 hours on the ununtu loading screen... [04:19] i tried it appeared to do nothing [04:19] oooo thats too much system i wish i had an i7 [04:19] i only have amd basic [04:19] Lowlymath: you could try booting an iso from grub. If you just want to run the cd to run it you can use virtualization to do that. [04:19] histo : You may be able to answere, but if I install ubuntu onto a HDD from a different computer using different specs, and then put it back into my machine now, would that work? [04:20] NanaHaru: yes [04:20] Provided the initrd still works, yes. [04:20] histo : thank you~ I shall try that~ [04:20] NanaHaru: assuming the other machine is efi [04:20] NanaHaru: or you disable efi on your new machine [04:21] anyone know why lvchange -a n or vgchange -a n don't seem to do anything. the command runs with no errors, but after running lvscan, all the LVs are still active [04:21] It doesn't seem like the other Linux-related channels are active: going into an AP Computer Science course that teaches Java, what software (or distro if applicable) should I look at? [04:21] histo : thank you~ I shall try that~? [04:21] morning 4om here guys' [04:22] !best | rhenzar [04:22] rhenzar: Usually, there is no single "best" application to perform a given task. It's up to you to choose, depending on your preferences, features you require, and other factors. Do NOT take polls in the channel. If you insist on getting people's opinions, ask BestBot in #ubuntu-bots. [04:22] histo : how do I disable EFi? [04:22] well we have 800 different distributions [04:22] disable EFI at bios setup [04:23] go to your machine bios setup at start up press the f1 or esc key [04:23] histo: I know, I know, just looking to see if anyone preferred anything that I should know about :D [04:23] Bray90820: this is ice cream sandwitch [04:23] is there a difference between EFI and UEFI? [04:23] rhenzar: basically The only differences in the distros are their: Communities, default applications, package managers... They all can be built up from minimal systems to accomplish the same thing. You can program in java on any of them. [04:23] well you are in the Ubuntu channel we suggest ubuntu [04:23] yes [04:23] ntzrmtthihu777 yes [04:23] rhenzar: The usual places are all active right now, not sure where you're looking. But it's not really a distro specific question. [04:23] selena2013: I mainly meant software. [04:24] rhenzar: I suggest Pinguy OS [04:24] Corey: Where should I look? I'm new to IRC, sorry! [04:24] ohboy [04:24] rhenzar: ##linux may be a decent starting poing. [04:24] rhenzar: you can program with any text editor. You can also use things like eclipse etc... [04:25] Corey: no [R] is lurking [04:25] rhenzar: codeblocks is a good ide for programming [04:25] histo: He doesn't scare me. :-) [04:26] I know that you can program with any number of text editors, etc., I was just wondering if there was any Linux -specific software that was particularly useful for this sort of thing. Thanks, though :P [04:26] histo: lurking? === XenGi_ is now known as XenGi [04:28] Can SATA disrupt the installation of ubuntu? [04:29] Bray90820: does it do Detecting adroid-x86 plus infinite dots?

[04:56] Lowlymath, I've had that problem with older hardware that doesn't recognize the USB keyboard until after the BIOS window is past; my solution is to find a PS/2 keyboard and plug it in!

[04:58] thanks for the help guys [04:58] ntzrmtthihu777: never really tried it with windows. no idea [04:58] dr_willis: plus if you are gonna install from said iso over the partition where it currently is you have to toram it [04:59] dr_willis: and windows isos tend to be huge [04:59] #windows may have ideas. or hit the junk stores for a ps2 keyboard [04:59] unless its winxp or earlier [05:00] Maybe there is some way I could save myself the trouble of reinstalling?

[05:06] faruk: yes, this is how I do it [05:06] root___: lspci should give you some info [05:06] do you have any suggestions on how much size i should allocate to /?

But keep in mind I'm just a bot ;-) [05:07] faruk: I only use 16gb for my /root, as much swap as I need, and the rest as /home [05:07] oh wow 16gb? so do all your installed programs go in /home? [05:07] 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] faruk: no, most of that info goes in /bin or /usr/bin in /, ubuntu is just that tiny [05:08] hmm [05:08] because on windows 7 i set up 60GB, and after a couple of years i'm down to like 2GB free lol [05:08] faruk: and I'm using a remastered ubuntu with a 2gb iso [05:08] windows folder alone has grown to 25GB from all the multiple versions of files that it keeps [05:09] i love the 13.04 ! [05:09] faruk: thats because win$ == fat * slow [05:09] lol [05:09] ntzrmtthihu777: that's not true if you can tune it [05:10] ntzrmtthihu777: it shows this [05:10] 00:1b.0 Audio device: Intel Corporation Device 1e20 (rev 04) [05:10] i'm looking forward to the switch, but i wanna get it right, because i'm not even gonna dual boot :P [05:10] i don't know what to do next ntzrmtthihu777 [05:10] littlebearz: talking about the general rule [05:10] 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] root___: search for I-) and ubuntu [05:11] search for what ntzrmtthihu777 ?? [05:11] root___: I mean I through ) in that line [05:11] thanks for checking jk_, i'm a bit confused though, /usr/bin is in a separate partition from /? [05:11] Does anybody know how to add x-chat icon on the top panel [05:11] faruk, no, it's part of / [05:11] faruk: its a subdirectory of /, you can have it as another partition if you like [05:12] i thought if i make 2 partitions, / and /home, / will contain everything other than /home [05:12] serbforce: what desktop environment you need [05:12] like if i install MATLAB, that's like 6GB alone [05:12] sorry ntzrmtthihu777 I still do not understand [05:12] faruk, you are correct [05:12] im on ubuntu 13.04 daily unity desktop [05:12] root___: search for Intel Corporation Device 1e20 (rev 04) and your version of ubuntu [05:13] faruk: if you know you are gonna install huge software give / more then. [05:13] hmm okay [05:13] serbforce: not a clue about 13.04 or unity [05:13] okay :( [05:13] serbforce: I'm a gnome2 12.04 man [05:13] so 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] oh i see [05:14] isnt gnome2 done for [05:14] in terms of support [05:14] and just in case i run out of space, would it be weird to install stuff like games in /home? [05:14] faruk: no, you don't *need* 16gb, that's just wiggle room. ubuntu only requires 4gb to install to [05:14] ntzrmtthihu777 sorry i am back now [05:14] how do upstart scripts know to start... with systemv you could update-rc.d service defaults [05:14] oh okay [05:15] faruk: you don't choose the install path, this is configured in the program itself [05:15] ntzrmtthihu777 and yes it does do detecting android with dots [05:15] Bray90820: what kinda processor do you have [05:15] hmm i see [05:15] ntzrmtthihu777: my ubuntu is 10.10 [05:15] thanks a lot for the info [05:16] halo [05:16] faruk: this is not windows where you can choose that sorta thing and scrag it up. linux has a pretty specific heirarchy of directories for files and programs [05:16] ntzrmtthihu777 Intel Atom N550 Processor [05:16] Bray90820: is that 64 or 32 [05:16] nevermind I figured it out.. was missing my symnlink [05:16] In the additional Drivers menu of Synaptic.

[05:24] root___: its like your install's brain stem, handling heartbeats and such [05:25] we have to wonder how you managed to login as root. there should have been a initally made user [05:25] now, when you installed ubuntu, did you create your own login? [05:25] i just type sudo su dr_willis [05:25] I did ntzrmtthihu777 [05:25] root___: and WHY did you feel the need to do that?

[05:27] actually you shouldent use 'sudo su' if you need a root shell. use sudo -i [05:27] ok mate ntzrmtthihu777 [05:27] dr_willis: exactly what is the difference?

I can use free to get the used/available memory. and use ps aux to get all RSS used by all user process. or use pmap -d $pid to get the memory. But I don't know which one is more accurate if I wan't to know the distribution of the memory usage in the system [05:49] ok [05:49] hi all, im getting this "filesystem only has x mb left" message a bunch. I ran "du -hx --max-depth=1 /" on a bunch of directories and it looks like my /home/ folder is listed as 94gb despite it only having about 15gb of stuff in it, can anyone help me troubleshoot?

[05:52] If anyone is familiar with Grub2 - please assist.. [05:52] and LVM [05:53] Thus I don't know which one is suitable to estimate the memory used by a process [05:53] rick_, free -m [05:53] ? [05:53] ntzrmtthihu777: then? [05:53] SubCool: no need to be rude. it has been the same folk in this channel since you came on, and we have given it our best shots. how have you tryed searching the forums [05:53] The RSS field from ps or the private field from pmap -d $pid [05:53] ntzrmtthihu777, your one to talk about being rude [05:53] myo: on the first tab it should tell you if you are using a 64-bit or 32-bit system [05:54] i dont use lvm. and all i know about grub2 is covered in the grub2 wiki and forum pages.. and grub2 homepage [05:54] SubCool: welcome to my ignore list.

Don't fix what isn't broken. [06:25] im still on my old kernel it didnt install correctly lol [06:26] cotcot: okay what problems do you have with your old kernel? [06:26] cotcot: what guide were you following, what commands did you do? [06:26] read this histo http://askubuntu.com/questions/264991/tried-to-install-a-kernel-now-i-have-mutliple-problems [06:26] i explained everything i tried to do it carefuly [06:26] histo: if it aint broke you don't know how to use it yet *chuckle* [06:26] i used a script [06:26] from a website [06:26] upbuntu [06:26] wait [06:26] we'll need to see it [06:27] http://www.upubuntu.com/2013/03/install-linux-kernel-382-in-ubuntulinux.html [06:27] i followded that [06:27] i managed to get ride of it [06:27] now all i have left is things from the update manager [06:27] i think i managed to get ride of the 3.8 using apt-purge [06:28] but i cant get rid of the 3.5.25 when i try to use it [06:28] cotcot: looks to me like that script just downloads debs from kernel.ubuntu.com and installs them. [06:28] i tried to do broken dependecies thing in synaptic too [06:28] yes [06:28] thats what it does [06:28] thats how my problems began [06:29] 3.8 isnt a problem anymore [06:29] !enter [06:29] now its 3.5.25 that i tried to install via the update manager [06:29] Please try to keep your questions/responses on one line. Don't use the "Enter" key as punctuation! [06:29] cotcot: could you pastebin "dpkg -l" [06:29] Something strange just happened...my screen just went from being 1200x1080 down to 800x600. What the hell just happedn? [06:29] yes [06:29] cotcot: Which version of ubuntu are you running? [06:29] 12.04 [06:30] !info linux-image-generic precise [06:30] ubuntu 12.10 64bit [06:30] linux-image-generic (source: linux-meta): Generic Linux kernel image. In component main, is optional. Version 3.2.0.38.46 (precise), package size 2 kB, installed size 31 kB [06:30] cotcot: is there a reason you aren't running linux-image-generic? [06:30] then why were you trying to get 3.5.0.25? [06:30] oh wait, 12.04 does the new kernel stuff [06:31] 12.04.2 [06:31] atm im on 3.5.17 [06:31] !info linux-generic-lts-quantal [06:31] i just have broken dependencies that i cnat get ride of [06:31] Package linux-generic-lts-quantal does not exist in quantal [06:31] !info linux-generic-lts-quantal precise [06:31] linux-generic-lts-quantal (source: linux-meta-lts-quantal): Generic Linux kernel image and headers. In component main, is optional. Version 3.5.0.25.32 (precise), package size 1 kB, installed size 27 kB (Only available for i386; amd64) [06:31] 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] Ben64: can't he just install linux-meta-lts-quantal [06:32] dd_: your personal user can't use sudo unless they invoke it. [06:32] nevermind. Used xrandr [06:32] (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] can I update lucid to precise easily? I am using ubuntu-server [06:32] I don't know what the hell happened to cause my resoution to drop but whatever it was it was not cool. [06:33] cotcot: dpkg -l | grep linux-meta-lts-quantal [06:33] histo: so in general do people usually have a user dedicated for admining the machine, or do they just give sudo to their user? [06:33] !upgrade | ak5 [06:33] ak5: For upgrading, see the instructions at https://help.ubuntu.com/community/UpgradeNotes - see also http://www.ubuntu.com/desktop/get-ubuntu/upgrade [06:33] histo: i don't think thats a package name [06:33] nothing happens hito [06:33] dd_: default is sudo behavior is that way. [06:33] cotcot: dpkg -l | grep image | pastebinit [06:34] dd_: The root user is for admin things. [06:34] dd_: sorry default ubuntu behavior is that way. The user that installed ubuntu is added to the sudo group and has those rights [06:34] dd_: or your user with sudo privileges. Others aren't supposed to have sudo privileges. [06:34] Ok- i dont get it, i REinstalled kubuntu. And now when it boots, it stops at Busybox v.1.18.5 with an initramfs - [06:34] wth? [06:34] dd_: I'm not sure I understand your concern? If someone hacks your server you mean? [06:35] SubCool: any errors? [06:35] none [06:35] histo, that i know of [06:35] 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? [06:36] histo, in dmes would it be at the top or bottom [06:36] SubCool: were you playing with hard drives or in the bios recently [06:36] SubCool: bottom [06:36] histo: so it seems there are no specific guides for 10.04 lts to 12.04 lts [06:36] dd_: Keep a user around, or have some way to access root. [06:36] dd_: if the users don't need sudo, then theres no reason to give them access [06:36] histo, harddrives [06:36] dd_: don't give the other users sudo they don't need it. [06:37] SubCool: What specifically were you doing with your hard drive? [06:37] ak5: you just upgrade [06:37] ak5: it will upgrade LTS to LTS [06:37] histo, all i did was reinstall kubntu- but i tried to put grub on sda instead of sdb. After boot-erpair failed.. i just resintalled kubuntu AGAIN , this time to sdb - but.. here i am. [06:37] SubCool: which disk is marked as bootable? [06:38] Ben64: is it fine to login as my admin user all the time, then if i need to do something as a website user, just su to that user? that way i only have one user that needs to/is able to ssh in? [06:38] histo, i have no clue now. [06:38] dd_: yes [06:38] !sudo | dd_ [06:38] dd_: sudo is a command to run command-line programs with superuser privileges ("root") (also see !cli). Look at https://help.ubuntu.com/community/RootSudo for more information. For graphical applications see !gksu (GNOME, Xfce), or !kdesudo (KDE). If you're unable to execute commands with sudo see: http://www.psychocats.net/ubuntu/fixsudo === IboS_ is now known as IboS [06:38] SubCool: boot a live cd [06:38] k [06:39] histo: sorry i am on a headless server, do I just use apt-get dist-upgrade? [06:39] its usually more compilcated [06:39] well i cant find the solution im gonna go eat something [06:39] thanks again [06:39] cool, thanks guys [06:40] one: I figured, I am used to rolling release and anything else baffles me [06:40] ak5: did you see the link from ubottu ? [06:40] yes [06:40] ak5: it explains the process ona server right on that page [06:40] histo: only for certain upgrades, not my specific one [06:41] histo: for example From 10.04 LTS to 10.10 [06:41] i'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] I need 10.04 to 12.04 [06:41] ak5: 10.04 goes straight to 12.04 [06:41] Ben64: so I have been told. I am now looking for how I do that ^_^ [06:41] i forgot to mention it's 64-bit and ive tried using nspluginwrapper per the documentation on mozilla's website [06:42] ak5: it's set up like that by default [06:42] what about 10.04.3 [06:42] Ben64: you misunderstand, I don't know about ubuntu at all and I am trying to figure out how to start the upgrade processs [06:42] overjoyedpulp: 2.16? anyway flashplayer is in the repos [06:42] ak5: sudo apt-get install update-manager-core [06:42] !upgrade [06:42] For upgrading, see the instructions at https://help.ubuntu.com/community/UpgradeNotes - see also http://www.ubuntu.com/desktop/get-ubuntu/upgrade [06:42] ak5: then do-release-upgrade [06:43] ak5: https://help.ubuntu.com/community/PreciseUpgrades#Network_Upgrade_for_Ubuntu_Servers_.28Recommended.29 [06:43] ben64: i know that, but seamonkey doesnt recognize it when i install it [06:43] dr_willis: Yeah that trigger is stupid now [06:43] does the bot give checksums? [06:43] dr_willis: well not the trigger the page on the wiki is. [06:43] one: checksums on what? [06:43] i normally do clean installs.. seems fadter [06:43] histo: the iso's [06:43] faster [06:44] overjoyedpulp: well seamonkey isn't in the repositories, so you're on your own : / [06:44] dr_willis: upgrade is actually faster. [06:44] clean install is the best way to go on any platform [06:44] one: they are listed on the download page [06:44] SunStar: That's not true [06:44] wasent for me last time... but it was during the release week... [06:45] histo: thanks a lot :) [06:45] histo, having an issue with that- appears my usb isnt being seen [06:45] SubCool: How did you just install kubuntu then? [06:45] histo, with that usb drive.. - idk.. :/ [06:45] histo: so this automatically changes my sources.list ? [06:45] SubCool: Well that's not good. Possibly the drive going bad causing issues with files that were copied? [06:46] ak5: yes [06:46] ak5: not your custom entries if you have any though it will disable those temporarily [06:46] histo: i cant get to the download page because of my fascist firewall [06:46] histo: what if I only have custom entries :D [06:46] histo, dont say that- :/ [06:46] one: let me see if I can pastebin a file [06:46] darn firewalls. Always where they're not wanted! >_< [06:47] histo: pm is fine [06:47] pastbin is also a website [06:47] one: P.S. that's what sshuttle is for. You could forward all your network traffic to another box that has ssh running. [06:47] histo, reinstalling now.. [06:47] one: which iso? [06:48] histo: 10.04.4 [06:48] is it true that ubuntu is considering switching to rolling release model for non-LTS releases? [06:48] one: desktop / server/ 32 bit or 64bit? [06:49] histo: desktop alternate i386 please use pm [06:49] ak5: I haven't heard that. but every six months is pretty rolling release safely as it's going to get [06:50] histo: idk, I am coming from arch, just testing ubuntu for my servers, I might switch to that [06:50] It 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." Th [06:50] e 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] the vps I got came preinstalled with lucid which doesn't have php-fpm (not even as backport) [06:50] ak5: i've heard the rolling release thign too [06:50] !kernel [06:50] The core of Ubuntu is the Linux kernel: see https://help.ubuntu.com/community/Kernel - You shouldn't have to compile your own, and if you need to troubleshoot issues, you can try a !Mainline kernel instead, but if you insist, see https://help.ubuntu.com/community/Kernel/Compile (see also !Stages) [06:50] overjoyedpulp: huh interesting [06:50] what about systemd [06:51] how do i see which kernel 10.04.4 has ? [06:51] are you guys going to jump on the systemd train? [06:51] !lucid [06:51] Ubuntu 10.04 LTS (Lucid Lynx) was the twelfth release of Ubuntu. Download http://releases.ubuntu.com/10.04/ - Release Info: http://www.ubuntu.com/getubuntu/releasenotes/1004 - Supported until April 2013 (Desktop), April 2015 (Server) [06:52] histo;now my computer wont boot from my usb [06:52] one: you release it's going to expire soon for desktop support right? [06:52] histo isn that bios? [06:52] SubCool: yes [06:52] histo: ive never used support anyway [06:52] SubCool: has nothing to do with ubuntu [06:52] !info linux-image-generic lucid | one [06:52] one: linux-image-generic (source: linux-meta): Generic Linux kernel image. In component main, is optional. Version 2.6.32.45.52 (lucid), package size 4 kB, installed size 32 kB [06:53] histo, so- the computer boots into ubuntu, gets kinda far- then bails out into busybox?? [06:53] one: isn't the md5sum file contained in the iso? [06:53] SubCool: from usb? [06:54] histo: ok very god [06:54] *good [06:54] histo, no- it boots off the HD- [06:54] one: 598b48059bafa2e0314bce8a07a9ff1f [06:54] histo: what are the offical checksums please [06:55] one: that's 10.04.4-alternate-i386.iso [06:55] SubCool: You need to boot to livecd or usb to fix your system. [06:56] hi jasonjang [06:56] so no systemd? [06:56] k- figured it out- its the usb [06:56] histo: thanks, i did ask for pm though [06:57] histo booting up- what would u like me to do once the computer boots [06:57] SubCool: use gparted and see which disk is marked as bootable. Fix that or install grub to one or the other. [06:58] histo, oh- thats pretty easy;. lol [06:59] SubCool: most likely both disks are marked as bootable. Or something goofy. [07:00] histo, after what i did- probably both' [07:00] so- cant i just run grub2 update? [07:00] I'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/4DN [07:00] SubCool: open gparted on the live cd [07:00] histo, my boots on a lvm... does that matter [07:01] SubCool: see which drive has the boot flag enabled [07:01] histo, waiting on it- [07:01] Any ideas [07:01] ? [07:01] apb1963: sudo restart mysql [07:03] restart: Unknown instance: [07:04] histo: sudo service restart mysql [07:04] I'm getting a "grub rescue" prompt. I gather I need to reinstall grub2 on my boot disk (sda1). Can someone tell me how to do that while I'm running from a usb? [07:04] apb1963: sudo service restart mysql [07:04] restart: unrecognized service [07:04] apb1963: sudo service mysql restart [07:05] apb1963: sorry - correcting my correction... [07:05] stop: Unknown instance: start: Job failed to start [07:06] somsip: restart blah works [07:06] apb1963: stop it first. Then start it. Post anything in /var/log/mysql/error.log [07:06] histo: really? woah - so it does. My apologies [07:06] histo, sda was marked for boot- but i also have an lvm. so im installing the packages now. [07:07] histo, did u compike mysql or install from repo [07:07] oops [07:07] apb1963, did you compile mysql or install from repo [07:07] sorry histo [07:08] repo I think, but I have to doublecheck [07:09] SubCool: Is this a dualboot system? [07:09] yah, repo [07:09] do-over? :) [07:09] apb1963: 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] apb1963, can you try mysqld restart. rather sudo mysqld restart [07:09] somsip: Yah [07:10] apb1963: Yeah to what? Install or upgraded? Overwritten cnf or kept old one? [07:10] oh i didn't see the last part of your sentence... overwrite I think. [07:11] somsip huh? [07:11] apb1963: k. If it's not going to break anything, you could try removing and reinstalling but it's a weak answer, I know [07:11] histo, no- but it appears the lvm2 packages failed [07:11] somsip, apb1963 or possibly just get a new cnf? [07:11] apb1963: eg: http://askubuntu.com/questions/127264/cant-start-mysql-mysql-respawning-too-fast-stopped === zz_Karbowiak is now known as Karbowiak [07:12] apb1963: /var/log/mysql/error.log can be handy if you are logging errors [07:13] SubCool: grub needs to be installed to the mbr of the bootable drive assuming you aren't using EFI [07:13] histo, i think your right- my hd might be failing- i keep getting disc erros and such [07:13] doesn't exist... so I guess I'm not logging errors?? [07:13] apb1963: I can't remember the default setting, but fair to assume it's disabled if you have nothing there. [07:13] SubCool: depends are they IO errors? [07:14] SubCool: also you can check smartmontools to see [07:14] histo, no- but i keep getting these random crap outs. [07:14] is that a package? [07:14] I am still not able to find the answer [07:14] It seams easy but it is not [07:14] apb1963: 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 output [07:14] I just want to click a link [07:14] the ubuntu does not let me to do [07:15] what is the reason/ [07:15] histo, nvm- install it now- or trying to [07:15] apb1963: 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] this is the website: http://gmplib.org/ [07:16] i should openthe download benckmark sources [07:16] somsip: Seems to be divided up into sections... which section should I add it to? [07:16] apb1963: [mysqld] [07:17] Not there. There's a [mysqldump] and a [mysql] should I create a new section? [07:18] apb1963: 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 somewhere [07:18] apb1963: backup the current one first, natch [07:19] histo, thanks- but im going to bed.. ill [ick this up later- :/ [07:20] apb1963: 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 missing [07:20] SubCool: kk [07:21] yes... I think a virgin would be a good solution... where do I find a virgin? === uw is now known as Guest28515 [07:21] apb1963: I suppose you'd have to go to a source package or unpack a deb. Any ideas pvl1? You suggested it... [07:22] who got booted? [07:22] don't any of you have an untarnished one? [07:22] apb1963: what file? [07:22] my.cnf [07:22] apb1963: what version of mysql [07:23] apb1963: what dir is that in [07:23] ntzrmtthihu777: /etc/mysql [07:23] 5.6 I guess [07:24] apb1963: I have never touched this file, here it is [07:24] thank you [07:24] Hi I'm new to ubuntu. Well Linux un general. I am installing it onto an old laptop I don't use anymore. I think the old OS was corrupted or something. I am using a USB stick to install it, and it seemed to be working, but now its been stuck at the same screen for a long time. Is there something wrong? [07:25] apb1963: guessing does not help.

[07:35] Fuzzles: yeah [07:35] ntzrmtthihu777, Hi I'm new to ubuntu. Well Linux un general. I am installing it onto an old laptop I don't use anymore. I think the old OS was corrupted or something. I am using a USB stick to install it, and it seemed to be working, but now its been stuck at the same screen for a long time. Is there something wrong? [07:35] antonio__: explain more [07:35] xD lol, you don't need to repeat again. [07:35] just found one http://www.omgubuntu.co.uk/2011/02/self-control-ubuntu [07:35] I saw that one. [07:35] somsip: http://www.omgubuntu.co.uk/2011/02/self-control-ubuntu [07:35] ntzrmtthihu777, oh my bad :P [07:35] hello. question: isn't having NOPASSWD set for sudo just as bad as leaving the root user enabled? [07:36] fetzy: you say it hangs? [07:36] Hi Please help. I have mounted ecryptfs {Private data mounted read-only at [/tmp/ecryptfs.wU7imHMu} but when i open, it saying i am not the owner. I am using live cd ubuntu. [07:36] ooboo: yes [07:36] ooboo: no, because they cannot enter a password tht does not exist [07:36] !firewall | antonio__ [07:36] ^ that possibility too [07:36] antonio__: Ubuntu, like any other Linux distribution, has firewall capabilities built-in. The firewall is managed using the 'ufw' command - see https://help.ubuntu.com/community/UFW | An alternative to ufw is the 'iptables' command - See https://help.ubuntu.com/community/IptablesHowTo | GUI frontends such as Gufw (GNOME) and Guarddog (KDE from Lucid onwards) also exist. [07:36] ntzrmtthihu777 should it be hd0,3 or hd 0,3 [07:36] !patience | aeon-ltd [07:36] aeon-ltd: 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/ [07:36] aeon-ltd: would using ssh key authentication make it ok? [07:36] histo: I'm not interested in a firewall...I'm looking for a program to keep me on track [07:36] this maybe a noobie question but is unity built on gnomeshell [07:37] oops, wrong person [07:37] It hasn't changed from this screen. I can move the mouse around, and it has the loading symbol moving in a circle, but it has stayed the same for probably half an hour now. [07:37] antonio__: medication?

Unity is a shell for GNOME. see http://unity.ubuntu.com. For a GNOME 2-like experience, see !notunity [07:37] fetzy: how old is the machine? [07:38] Fuzzles: unity is a compiz plugin [07:38] Fuzzles: it runs on top of gnome3, I believe [07:38] ntzrmtthihu777, thanks i wish they would mature it [07:38] it is a dell latitude D610... i dont know how old it is [07:38] Fuzzles: I wish they would get rid of it [07:39] I just installed this self control program...cant seem to find it anywhere though [07:39] ntzrmtthihu777, dont you like it? [07:39] histo, ok- im still up :/ - how do i fix this? gparted is up- lvm2 is up. there appears to be a boot on sda - but i cant view lvm with gparted . im trying to remmeber which program does it [07:39] Fuzzles: nope. I can't stand it. I always use gnome-shell [07:39] ntzrmtthihu777, im using it, its ok but i perfer kde [07:40] Bray90820: hd0, no space [07:40] SubCool: does sdb also have a boot flag on? [07:40] ok [07:41] no [07:41] histo, but - the lvm is [07:41] SubCool: install grub to sda [07:42] thx for guys helped me [07:42] SubCool: or make sdb bootable and install grub there [07:42] yourimym11: no prob [07:42] ntzrmtthihu777, tbh i like most DEs apart from LXDE find it pointless [07:42] histo, how? [07:42] !grub2 | SubCool [07:42] SubCool: GRUB2 is the default Ubuntu boot manager. Lost GRUB after installing Windows? See https://help.ubuntu.com/community/RestoreGrub - For more information and troubleshooting for GRUB2 please refer to https://help.ubuntu.com/community/Grub2 [07:43] Fuzzles: I tested lubuntu and it is pretty nice, but its default application set is too far different to be worth my while re-customizing [07:43] histo, well, idk- gparted doesnt show a sdb- but i know the lvm has something on it.. how do i read it [07:43] Fuzzles: I now use gnome-fallback with docky [07:44] fetzy: what version of ubuntu are you installing [07:44] ntzrmtthihu777, find its too limited on old machines i use xfce lightweight but still a full desktop [07:44] so am i fine to have NOPASSWD ALL set for my admin user if i am using ssh key authentication instead of password logins? [07:44] the newest, 12.10 i guess [07:45] Fuzzles: really? I got started in ubuntu with a old slaptogether junkbox designed for winxp using default lucid, it worked just fine. [07:46] fetzy: first off I would suggest 12.04.2, you get 5-year support without all the fail in quantal [07:46] ok, I was just going to try it out to see how i liked it first, so that is why i decided to just go with 12.10 [07:47] fetzy: my brief experience with 12.10 was horrid. [07:48] hmm ok. i will try that then, thank you for your help. [07:48] is there a general dell support channel anywhere? [07:48] ntzrmtthihu777, true but now ubuntu uses unity its so heavy on resources its even more then KDE now specially that 4.10 has big performance boost [07:48] Fuzzles: like I said, I use gnome-fallback, no unity [07:49] Fuzzles: you could think of it as gnubuntu [07:49] it asked me to change the root password for mysql when updating from lucid to precise no less than 3 times (??) [07:50] ntzrmtthihu777, i can switch to kubuntu and remove unity and gnome without issues adn reinstalling right program [07:50] ak5: I think the root mysql password is not the same as the ubuntu root [07:50] ntzrmtthihu777: yes, i know. but why ask 3 times [07:50] Fuzzles: is that a statement or a question? [07:50] ak5: you're doing a long upgrade process. Just go with it. [07:51] ak5: ok lol [07:51] ntzrmtthihu777, question [07:51] somsip: is there some logic hidden there [07:51] Fuzzles: I belive so, yes [07:51] ntzrmtthihu777, ok ill give it a try [07:51] ak5: in ubuntu there is a certain timeout for sudo, 15 min default, maybe mysql has the same thing [07:52] ak5: just an encouragement to not worry about things you cannot affect [07:52] somsip: should I report a bug? [07:52] Fuzzles: do not remove unity and gnome untill you are sure kde works fine [07:52] it's kinda stupid to reproduce, but... it is a bug, right? [07:52] ak5: is it broken? [07:52] Hi please help. I have mounted Ecryptfs in tmp directory using Ubuntu Live CD but when i open, it saying "You do not have the permissions necessary to view the contents of "ecryptfs" I am unable to open it..... any other way to open it???? [07:52] !patience | digitalshankar [07:52] digitalshankar: 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/ [07:52] somsip: not per se [07:52] ... and it asked me again [07:53] ak5: I would encourage you to complete the upgrade process. Just go with it [07:53] digitalshankar: are you doing whatever you're doing as root? [07:53] ok this time i am going to change it instead of "keeping the old password if I leave it blank" [07:53] can someone tell me why my wireless works but i cant see wlan0 when i ifconfig [07:53] t-mart: how to do it as root as it is a live cd.... [07:54] ntzrmtthihu777: hey back i need simple instruction to mount specifc folder insted the whole parition what parameters to change in the fstab file ? [07:54] somsip: also, why does ubuntu-server have wireless-tools/wpasupplicant/etc by default? [07:54] ntzrmtthihu777, ok i wont ill come back if all is well [07:54] ak5: dunno [07:54] digitalshankar: sudo [07:54] yourimym1: not doable. [07:55] umm [07:55] countley: it may not be wlan0, my default wifi card on my machine is labeled as eth2 [07:56] t-mart: i did enter this command : sudo cd /tmp/ecryptfs.wU7imHMu and it replied : sudo: cd: command not found [07:56] ntzrmtthihu777: yeh i got eth2 aswell but i cant put it into monitor mode help [07:57] countley: monitor mode? are using backtrack or something? [07:57] I'm trying to find out how to install the self restraint program here http://parker.kuivi.la/projects/selfrestraint [07:57] no ubuntu 12.0.4 [07:57] digitalshankar: do you really need what you encrypted in there? === chalced is now known as chalcedony [07:58] digitalshankar: is the ecryptfs "file" on the livecd or on an installed ubuntu? [07:59] hi all. is there a way to mount a cifs share as a normal user in ubuntu 12.04? [08:00] rdz: use for example nautilus to access the share or "connect to server" [08:01] ERROR while getting interface flags: No such device [08:01] yourimym1: man mount (--bind) [08:01] rdz: or this http://ubuntuforums.org/showthread.php?t=1459182 [08:01] countley: can you get online? [08:02] yeh [08:02] countley: then why exactly do you need monitor mode? [08:03] yourimym1: you could work around by mounting the whole partition somewhere, then creating a symlink to the folder you want [08:03] airodump-ng [08:03] countley: I'm just curious, being a year old backtrack user makes me think dat way. [08:03] yourimym1: basically you mount the whole partition at /somewhere, then /etc/fstab "/somewhere/mydir /newmountpoint none bind 0 0 " [08:03] countley: why do you need airodump-ng [08:03] t-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] i normaly use backtrack but i could get the drivers for my wireless [08:04] TakeItEZ: you should not use the same pass for different partitions on the same hdd [08:04] digitalshankar: so, when you try to boot the messed up partition, do you get a command line? [08:05] countley: I just fail to see the point in useing the aircrack-ng suite on anything but backtrack [08:05] ok - im a lil confused. - i need to install system-config-lvm - but 0-- its not listing ?? [08:05] has anybody managed to get the nvidia drivers working while using EFI on a macbook? [08:05] somsip: TakeItEZ: i've mounted the whole partition already , , but what about the second step u saaid [08:05] somsip tell me more about symlink to the folder how can that be done [08:05] yourimym1: symlink is like a shortcut [08:06] ntzrmtthihu777: "same pass"? [08:06] yeah, the 0 0 at the end [08:06] pass 0 dump 0 [08:06] histo, - since u've been around.. [08:06] this really is strange [08:06] have a look at man fstab, I'm out for a bit [08:06] histo, why isnt this package listing? [08:07] I just formatted a USB. Wrote a Windows ISO and it boots to a grub menu. How is that possible? I just formatted it before that, and put ubuntustudio and it booted. And previoius to that Vista, and it booted. Help [08:07] yourimym1: 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] TakeItEZ: you should use uuids, not paths [08:08] TakeItEZ: what he wants is a certain directory inside another partition mounted somewhere. [08:08] TakeItEZ: your idea about symlinks is what he needs. [08:08] ntzrmtthihu777: bind-mounts don#t need any pass/dump entries, therefor 0 [08:09] so :) what should i do ! [08:09] ntzrmtthihu777: do you even know what bind-mount is? [08:10] TakeItEZ: 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] Solution found for my question!!! The answer was "gksudo nautilus" [08:11] digitalshankar: a root nautilus, yeah that would do it. [08:11] digitalshankar Yes, you will access to files as root. [08:11] yourimym1: to get it clear: you already have mounted something at /media/xxx and want /media/xxx/yyy to be mounted at /home/you/data? [08:11] !dd [08:11] get outta my laboratory [08:12] A friend named Andy Woodhead gave this answer he also Support ubuntu in this channel. [08:12] TakeItEZ: yesbut certain folder only want to mount it \ [08:13] yourimym1: fstab: "/media/xxx/yyy /home/you/data none bind 0 0 " [08:13] hy all [08:13] digitalshankar, be mindful of ownership and permissions when messing with files and folders [08:13] yourimym1: but you always have to mount the whole filesystem before this can be done, you cannot just mount one dir [08:14] thx got it [08:14] Hi all [08:14] Kurva anyád [08:14] szevaa [08:14] ntzrmtthihu777: just say "no" [08:14] whats up bitch?

[08:19] ak5: you are using x64, but some programs are only 32 bit so you would need them [08:20] so how does it handle multilib? [08:20] ak5: I have both the 64 and 32 bit libs on my machine for compatability on some things [08:21] I love ubuntu [08:21] there are precious few things on a server (actually none that come to mind) that need to be 32 bit [08:21] wayne__: as do I [08:22] I'm running Linux ubuntu inside windows 7.

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! [08:35] carinaet: no need to unplug the windows drives, they will not be touched unless you tell them to be. [08:35] carinaet: 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 check [08:35] flash-aid is using flashplugin-installer if you didnt know ntzrmtthihu777 [08:36] carinaet: 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 not [08:37] Sliss: is that so. seems to be another layer of annoyance to me, it came default on my pinguy os's firefox, i just got rid of it and installed fp-ins. from apt-get [08:37] suddenly my pc crashes, when i start firefox: (firefox:2502): Gtk-WARNING **: GModule (/usr/lib/gtk-2.0/2.10.0/immodules/im-ibus.so) initialization check failed: GLib version too old (micro mismatch). already tried apt-get update/upgrade and aptitude -f install under kubuntu 10.04. what can i do? === indy21_ is now known as indy21 [08:38] !EOL | W8uiE5 [08:38] W8uiE5: End-Of-Life is the time when security updates and support for an Ubuntu release stop, see https://wiki.ubuntu.com/Releases for more information.

[08:45] free download from the elder scrolls website btw [08:45] l057c0d3r: nothing wrong with old games, I am doing a re-work of one right now under rpg maker xp [08:45] ntzrmtthihu777: you said it wouldn't matter if the windows drive are connected. and, setting usb with a higher boot priority. [08:45] ah i see [08:46] I am not sure if this a bug, so I would like to ask for some help before I report it [08:46] carinaet: ah gotcha. Sorry, too many ppl I'm shooting tips at lol [08:46] Akiva-Mobile: shoot [08:46] Can anyone help me in nautilus in adding a bookmark? [08:46] Akiva-Mobile: easily done [08:46] drag and drop [08:46] ntzrmtthihu777: Not working for me [08:46] nope [08:47] drag and drop is not working in nautilus [08:47] Akiva-Mobile: I have dropbox, ubuntu one, and the playonlinux virtual drives bookmarked [08:47] ntzrmtthihu777: It stopped working for me. [08:47] ok will try it now. thanks again. [08:47] ntzrmtthihu777: Even using the menus does not work. [08:48] Akiva-Mobile: enter the directory in nautilus, hit ctrl+d [08:48] Menu>add bookmark >>> all it did was add an old bookmark that I removed, but then would not work again. [08:48] ntzrmtthihu777: ill give it a shot [08:49] Akiva-Mobile: and if that does not do it you can manually edit a config file, let me find it again [08:49] Akiva-Mobile: you havent ran nautilus as root lately have you? ive seen where some user config files get owned by root. and thus the user cant change them [08:49] sziasztok szép jó reggelt [08:49] dr_willis: Yes I had done that. I hate using chmod :P [08:50] janos__: svedisch? === yash is now known as YashpalJadeja [08:50] Akiva-Mobile: id check ownership of the files in your home. ;) [08:50] dr_willis: Well that must be it then; that makes the most sense. Gah, you must be a level 4 users [08:50] user* [08:50] Akiva-Mobile: you're too kind [08:51] dr_willis: ntzrmtthihu777 >> now assuming this is the case; should this be reported as a bug? [08:51] is there an opposite of /ignore in irc? [08:52] favorites [08:52] Akiva-Mobile: I don't know, if it was done without your mis-actions, then yes. if you screwed up, then no. sorry if its blunt/harsh [08:53] SunStar: perhaps opposite is wrong term, along the lines of making them deaf to you [08:53] ntzrmtthihu777: 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] ntzrmtthihu777: unignore, same syntax I believe [08:54] somsip: nope, you missed my latest query [08:54] frankly, I am still bugged that you still can not change permissions of files easily in nautilus with a root password. [08:54] ntzrmtthihu777: you want to set yourself as ignored by them? [08:54] somsip: yes! not that I wish to do it, but wonder if its doable [08:55] Akiva-Mobile: check ~/.gtk-bookmarks [08:55] Akiva-Mobile: i recall seeing some nautilus scripts for that. [08:55] 0_o so you can talk about them without them seeing.. how rude [08:55] ntzrmtthihu777: not something I'm aware of [08:55] l057c0d3r: xD not gonna, just wondering [08:55] heh.. [08:55] sudo nautilus is bad... gksudo nautilus i think will avoide the problems [08:55] dr_willis: I am just surprised it still exists. I was considering on building a chmod gui [08:56] Akiva-Mobile: chmod is pretty easy, actually. [08:56] and that was 4 years ago === Ovid is now known as Guest87397 [08:56] dr_willis: an excellent point, do not use sudo for graphical applications, ever. === Guest87397 is now known as curtispoe [08:56] ntzrmtthihu777: I used to know how to use it, but I always had to double check my flags [08:56] i got a little chmod app on my phone. ;) or i just use mc... [08:56] when using gksudo nautilus be mindful of permissions and ownership [08:56] Akiva-Mobile: it exists already. right-click properties, permissions. [08:56] and some flags are complex. [08:57] I belive theres a nautilus setting to show advanced chown/chmod options [08:57] Akiva-Mobile: you are talking about the number ones? [08:57] ntzrmtthihu777: well usergroups are not exactly straightforward [08:58] Akiva-Mobile: agreed. [08:58] as long as I have been on linux, I have never bothered to research them. [08:58] how do you get the nvidia-current driver to actually become active? [08:58] ntzrmtthihu777: Well, if not a bug report, maybe a brainstorm. [08:59] seems like just installing it is useless ... as the Mesa driver is still being used [08:59] Akiva-Mobile: I wish they had better customizability for ~/.config/user-dirs.dirs, lol. that is my one wish atm. [09:00] ntzrmtthihu777: lol [09:00] zetheroo: i install, then reboot. then run nvidia-settings to setup the xorg,conf how i want. then restart the X server [09:00] ntzrmtthihu777: Wait, I am on ubuntu brainstorm, brb [09:00] Akiva-Mobile: srsly, I hate that I can't get my dropbox in the same place as my other ~/ dirs [09:01] ntzrmtthihu777 so apperently i need to move my android partition to / [09:01] Bray90820: erm, when you boot android your android partition become / [09:01] and when you do ubuntu the same occurs [09:01] it does? [09:02] Bray90820: yeah, any multiboot does, I believe. [09:02] hum i have something to show you [09:03] is there a way to change the gnome-fallback menu setup from applications | places to applications | places | system like in lucid? [09:04] ntzrmtthihu777 http://pastebin.com/raw.php?i=LvuEYL3E [09:04] Bray90820: oh yes, this could work, methinks. [09:05] i'm not really 100% sure what that even means tho [09:05] but i wanna try it just to see [09:05] Bray90820: you would not be moving the android partition to /, but instead emptying its contents into the / of sda1 [09:05] AHH [09:05] i'll also make a backup :) [09:06] Bray90820: but for you, since your ubuntu / is sda1, would use hd0,1 [09:06] yes [09:06] the mounting point would also change [09:06] and i am not sure if it would matter, but can you place that } curly bracket on its own line? [09:06] it bugs me XD [09:12] hmmm [09:13] dr_willis: :? [09:13] its quiet.... tooo quiet... [09:13] dr_willis: any thoughts on my question? [09:13] which one? [09:14] about the threefold division of the old lucid menu vs the two menu system of gnome-fallback in precise [09:14] i dont use fallback. so never even noticed [09:15] I *really* hate having to dredge through the apps menu for what was (and should be) in the separate system menu [09:15] theres some alternative indicator applet menu apps that give sort of a classic type menu. [09:17] *gish* the only other one that, while beautifully displaying the logo, lumps all three into one [09:17] dr_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 fo [09:18] zetheroo: it would be 'sudo nvidia-xconfig' an its not really needed these days [09:18] if you have no xorg.conf then it should auto load the nvidia driver [09:19] see if you do have a /etc/X11/xorg.conf [09:19] I *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] if so rename it. [09:19] dr_willis: yeah 'sudo nvidia-xconfig' ... no go ... [09:19] dr_willis: I agree that the driver should be auto-loaded ... ;) [09:19] nvidia-xconfig was needed ages ago to generate the xorg.conf . but now the xorg.conf is optionsl [09:20] dr_willis: you're a cool dude, not like some of these other patently annoying experts [09:20] IF you have an xorg.conf tghats loading some other drivers.. that can cause issues [09:20] and im sitting here at work.. getting paid (not for ircing.. but just being at work) :) [09:20] dr_willis: sounds nice [09:21] zetheroo: this isent one of those dual gpu optimus systems is it? [09:21] dr_willis: I see ... but why is it that if I install the nvidia 175 driver it will work after a reboot automatically? [09:21] dr_willis: no, this is an older Quadro NVS card [09:21] i only use the drivers in the repos.. what ones did you use? sounds like they maybe not for your card/broken [09:22] and I am running Ubuntu 10.04 on that machine :D [09:22] that'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 not [09:22] the Nvidia 175 is in the Hardware Drivers dialog ... straight from Ubuntu repos [09:22] that would be my guess.. they are constantly dropping out old cards from the propitary drivers [09:23] I saw on the Ubuntu forums though that my card was supported in the nvidia-current driver [09:23] I see [09:23] bummer [09:23] nvidia-current is just a generic name for whatever is current in that release.. [09:23] is there a place where the current list of supported cards are for the nvidia-current driver? [09:23] for 10.04 it could be nvidia-current is that older driver not the current available drivers [09:24] nvidias site has a list of cards for driver versions [09:24] the term 'nvidia-current' is ubuntus geenric name. [09:24] well it was nvidia-current from x-swat repo which was the last one I tried ... [09:24] speaking 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] nvidia-current in 10.04 may not be the same version as ncidia-current in 13.04 ;) [09:24] been putting it off [09:25] xswat would be using the latest from the nvidia sites. [09:25] ok [09:25] so that indeed sounds like.. newer drivers dont support your card [09:25] dr_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 :-( === jack is now known as Guest27105 [09:26] just ppa_purged it and built my own debs from the amd website [09:26] fixed me up good [09:26] ive never really uses xswat stuff. [09:26] <3 debs [09:27] my nvidia sysem is using a 320 card I think.. so its getting a little old [09:27] plays skyrim however ;) just not at max settings [09:27] i havent tried skyrim with my new driver yet.. however with the driver from the repo.. it would only run on medium settings.. [09:28] but it plays thats all that really mattered to me [09:29] hi [09:30] bbl [09:30] can anyone assist with a ISO USB stick weird issue? [09:30] found 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] calwig, what's the issue [09:30] l057c0d3r, thank you [09:31] USB stick, unetbootin installs Ubuntu ISO, boots fine, installs to partition. No prob [09:31] I 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! === joarj is now known as CosmicB [09:31] then I erase partition with gparted, install Windows Vista or 7 ISO with unetbootin, boots to grub menu... why? [09:31] calwig: because grub is likely in your mbr [09:32] that i figured out, but how do i remove it completely [09:32] calwig: that I know not, sorry [09:33] hmm... so windows 7 installed but from there you can not boot into it.. strange.. usually windows 7 overwrights the mbr with its boot loader [09:33] google for restore mbr for windows 7 [09:33] or maybe burn the iso for windows 7 to dvd and try installing that way [09:34] quick 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] l057c0d3r: good point, maybe the unetbootin "taints" win$ with grub [09:34] art1: do you only have one drive? [09:34] hi plz help me about creating a hotspot in my laptop.. it creates but no internet connection on the other device [09:34] im using 12.04 [09:35] only one internal [09:35] lolzer: I fought tooth and nail with mine, never got it working. [09:35] ntzrmtthihu777, from my experience unetbootin messes up more then it works. [09:35] my external is mounted, but not my internal [09:35] art1: if you'r booted into that one then it is mounted... ahh [09:35] just open a nautilus window, you should se it to the left [09:36] ntzrmtthihu777, yeah .. nothing seems to work [09:36] art1 are you using wubi install [09:36] l057c0d3r: yeah, unetbootin tends to fail hard [09:36] or do you have ubuntu installed on a separate partition on your main hdd [09:36] not wubi... [09:37] l057c0d3r: he said he had 2 drives, one win$ and one ubu [09:37] oh.. must have missed that part [09:37] I have an issue with my "/home" partition being too little, but I have plenty of space in my root "/" partition [09:38] yeah then like ntzrmtthihu777 said.. it should be listed in nautilus on the upper left part of the window.. [09:38] huayra: you would have to boot some live media and shrink / and grow /home [09:38] no, It's a pure ubuntu 12.04 install... but I just installed it, been using windows forever so it's easier to compare to it [09:38] is there a way to change the size of a running system without ruining it? [09:38] :) [09:38] ntzrmtthihu777, ok, but it is possible ? [09:38] its doable, i have done the opposite. [09:38] ok, I'll give it a go [09:38] thanks [09:39] huayra: just know that it is all in your hands how it ends up [09:39] ntzrmtthihu777, I know, when you use GNU/Linux you get to keep all the broken parts [09:39] ;) [09:40] !gnomeshell-default-linux [09:40] huayra: huh? [09:40] dang, ubottu does not know [09:41] ntzrmtthihu777, I know that there is a risk and I am willing to take it [09:41] huayra: as long as you know that. I have done some of that lately, turned out well [09:41] as long as you don't take to much space from / you should be fine [09:41] ntzrmtthihu777: I get that it's already mounted, trying to get it to show up on the "start bar" on the left like my external drive does [09:42] huayra: leave at least 16gb for safety [09:42] art1: in the unity bar? [09:42] art1, that i cant help with.. i use gnome-shell [09:42] ntzrmtthihu777: is that what it's called :) [09:42] ntzrmtthihu777 nope that didn't work ether [09:42] * ntzrmtthihu777 highfives l057c0d3r [09:42] art1: the glassy rounded square icons to the left? [09:43] ntzrmtthihu777: yup [09:43] what happend was when i selected ubuntu it attempted to load android but then failed and restated the computer [09:43] ntzrmtthihu777, don't get me wrong.. i replaced the overlay with bolt.... [09:43] yeah, that is your unity launcher, and like l057c0d3r I know little to nothing about it [09:43] so now i have to go into the directory and remove every file one by one [09:43] l057c0d3r: haven't started messing with the themes yet... that's next :) [09:43] and have cairo-dock running [09:44] Bray90820: Or just re-write your 40 === dbugger is now known as also_paul_irish [09:44] art1, heh has nothing to do with themes.. you are using unity.. i dont have unity i have gnome shell.. different desktop environment [09:44] ntzrmtthihu777 no it is detecting ubuntu as android [09:44] you did point it at the right partition and folder [09:44] l057c0d3r: I got docky [09:45] ok... see :) I am still trying to learn all of this :) [09:45] ntzrmtthihu777 what do you mean [09:45] art1: :D good === also_paul_irish is now known as fake_paul_irish === fake_paul_irish is now known as dbugger [09:45] and I know that there is no way for me to learn everything in the three days I've had ubuntu installed :) [09:45] Bray90820: since you moved the android files into sda1 the grub file needs to point at hd0,1 [09:46] yes [09:46] art1, it will be a process.. but myself i love nix [09:46] ntzrmtthihu777 but when i try to load ubuntu android attempts to load [09:46] ntzrmtthihu777, my desktop :-) http://uppix.net/e/b/9/0d522bce319e79b2ffff82e53a345.png [09:46] I"ve already had to slick and reinstall... messing with things I have no business touching yet :) [09:46] Bray90820: well dang. [09:46] probably didn't have to reinstall.. good thing about linux.. most everything is reversable [09:47] oh well [09:47] xD I love it! [09:47] I'm actually happy to be rid of Microsucks.... didn't realize how user friendly ubuntu could be :) [09:47] ntzrmtthihu777 i will just remove the android files and try something else [09:47] I deleted my admin PW... [09:47] unless you're installing nvidia drivers [09:47] ;) [09:47] My Taskbar keeps on showing Warning Sign in Red, but system is updated.. [09:47] art1: I rather like what ubuntu has to offer [09:47] and lost the grub menu somehow lol [09:47] As in the words of linus torvalds NVIDA FUCK YOU [09:47] rjv-im: taskbar? this is not windows, explain [09:48] lol [09:48] !language | Bray90820 [09:48] Bray90820: Please watch your language and topic to help keep this channel family-friendly, polite, and professional. [09:48] i got one of t hose laptops with the discreet nvidia card [09:48] Hi, How can i change the start-up screen of my ubuntu 12.10? I installed gnome on my ubuntu. so gnome override some of the default functionality of ubuntu. [09:48] i cant disable my intel card. so stupid [09:48] sorry i was just repeting what linus said [09:48] ok.. sorry. i have installed cinnamon.. it has something like bar.. [09:48] ezhilvanan: how do you mean? [09:48] ezhilvanan, google super boot manager [09:48] like taskbar.. sorry dont knw wt to call it.. its not unity i can say that.. [09:48] rjv-im: little experience with cinnomon, gave it a whirl a while back [09:49] ntzrmtthihu777 can you rm from grub [09:49] it has nice features to change plymouth displays [09:49] rjv-im: you updated but it says you are not? [09:49] Bray90820: not that I know, you may needa boot a live cd/usb [09:49] ezhilvanan, you are talking about the splash that is displayed when you start your system right [09:49] i plan on using the live cd [09:49] just thinking grub might be eaiser [09:50] actually i dont think its related to cinnamon.. If i hover over the sign it says update information is outdated.. [09:50] well live usb but yea [09:50] Bray90820: not a clue, just do what you gotta [09:50] thanks for your reply.. I'm getting gnome screen as start-up screen before logging in.. [09:50] ntzrmtthihu777 yeap :) [09:50] rjv-im: sudo aptitude update [09:50] yes exactly [09:50] rjv-im, have you tried sudo apt-get update && sudo apt-get dist-upgrade.. then reboot? [09:50] then i do : Check Updated and it says system is up to date. [09:50] ok.. [09:50] i will [09:51] ezhilvanan, hold on one sec.... if you dont want to install a manager for the splash screen i can get you a term command to type that will allow you to change between splash screens you have installed [09:51] thanks a lot.. [09:51] yep [09:52] l057c0d3r: now what I would like is a way to use my webilder background changer with lightdm [09:53] heh yeah ntzrmtthihu777 [09:53] k ezhilvanan type sudo update-alternatives --config default.plymouth [09:53] select the splash screen you want from the list [09:53] then do sudo update-initramfs -u [09:53] wait a sec.. i'll try this cmd [09:54] after that when you reboot you should see the new splash screen / old one you wanted back [09:54] ezhilvanan: gack! not win$ is this :P [09:56] i have to restart my system.. thanks a lot [09:57] thats what were here for :-p [09:58] for some reason i can't kill firefox.. i ran pidof firefox and it returned a pidof 3754.. when i try killall firefox nothing happens.. when i try kill -9 3574 nothing happens? what can i do other than rebooting my computer to fix it? [09:58] heh. I used to just come here to be helped, but as i noticed ppl asking questions I knew the answer too I started helping them instead, and now I hang out alot just to do that [09:58] crackerjackz: alt+f2 xkill [09:58] then click firefox [09:59] crackerjackz: pkill firefox or killall firefox-bin === _gcx is now known as gcx [09:59] ntzrmtthihu777, thats kind of how it went for me as well [09:59] ntzrmtthihu777: i just accidentally killed the side bar thingy.. im using unity.. any idea on how to get it back? [10:00] crackerjackz: lawl. you mean the launcher? [10:00] ntzrmtthihu777: yah :) [10:00] crackerjackz: not sure, lemme see [10:00] crackerjackz, log out and back in [10:00] heh [10:00] im sure there is a command you could type as well though [10:01] l057c0d3r: is there a way for me to do it with out doing that.. usually every time i have a problem i reboot or log out and back in.. but i know there are ways around that.. i'd like to learn how [10:01] unity-launcher [10:01] ^^^ type that in term [10:02] no, do it in alt+f2, in a term you would likely have to keep it open [10:02] well unity-launcher & [10:02] then press enter and you can close the term [10:03] now i really screwed things up oh well [10:03] l057c0d3r : i selected ---> * 2 /lib/plymouth/themes/ubuntu-logo/ubuntu-logo.plymouth 100 manual mode [10:03] i think it's time for a fresh install === pvde_ is now known as pvde [10:04] hello friends [10:04] ubuntu is hard to use [10:04] Makaor: if you say so [10:04] ezhilvanan, didn't work [10:04] Now i can see the ubuntu default screen while shutdown but startup same gnome screen only.. what i have to do now? [10:04] try 0 or 1 [10:05] which ever of them two are not gnome [10:05] ntzrmtthihu777, all the commands etc [10:05] Makaor: if you think ubuntu is hard try archlinux [10:06] ntzrmtthihu777, why? [10:06] and u did the sudo update-initramfs -u right [10:06] ntzrmtthihu777, or gentoo [10:07] l057c0d3r: never tried it, whazzit like? [10:07] i have a system running gentoo with fluxbox / lxde [10:07] its nice.. takes forever to get going [10:07] builds everything from source [10:07] l057c0d3r : Now i can see the ubuntu default screen while shutdown but startup same gnome screen only.. what i have to do now? [10:07] has slightly better speeds then ubuntu.. but ubuntu is my fav now [10:08] l057c0d3r: interesting. I rather like ubuntu and its spinoffs. [10:08] ezhilvanan, do the sudo update-alternatives --config default.plymouth again.. and select 0 or 1 from that last.. which ever is not the gnome one [10:08] then do sudo update-initramfs -u [10:08] and reboot again see if that helps [10:08] l057c0d3r: okay [10:08] the manual one you selected gives issues some times [10:09] hey sorry i had to reboot [10:09] unity-launcher wouldn't work said the command didn't exist.. but i typed unit then pressed tab and a bunch of unity stuff came up [10:09] ntzrmtthihu777, the speedup comes from everything being built and optimized for the system its running on... [10:10] but updates take forever [10:10] :-p [10:10] and emerge just isnt as easy as apt-get [10:10] one 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 me [10:10] have use flags.. among other things you have to add / change ext [10:10] you 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. [10:11] how do i get rid of unity? [10:11] i want to use lxde [10:11] ntzrmtthihu777, i went into /usr/source/gnome-shell/theme and changed the .css file and the noisy***.png file... [10:11] then 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 background [10:11] and fully customized my gdm login screen [10:12] crackerjackz: install lxde, logout and back in under lxde, then a careful selecion of apt-get purge will get rid of it [10:12] id leave unity installed.. just in case [10:12] also went in and replaced the blinds in /usr/share/backgrounds/gnome... that way i had the same image displayed all the time in gdm [10:12] just install and use lxde/lubuntu [10:12] when 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] ntzrmtthihu777: so just run apt-get purge and answer what ever questions it throws at me while logged in under lxde? [10:13] hi to you all [10:13] could you please show mw because i see a lot of channels [10:13] i am new to ubuntu [10:13] i have been trying to understand how the OS file structure works [10:13] chronicle: Please don't flood; use http://paste.ubuntu.com to paste; don't use Enter as punctuation. [10:13] but i want to know more about the UBUNTU LINUX OS functionality [10:13] and how to play around with it [10:13] !fsh [10:13] Theres a Linux File System Hiarcary web site.. somewhere. ;) [10:13] sorry i didnt realise [10:13] chronicle: read about filesystem hierarchy [10:13] arrh not file system [10:13] tells what most of the filesystem dirs and stuff does. [10:14] crackerjackz: the syntax is apt-get purge packagename [10:14] hang on ill send you an article [10:14] I think the freedesktop.org site has some articals also on the topic [10:14] ntzrmtthihu777: okay thank you that makes sense now :0 [10:14] :) * [10:14] dr_willis: any ideas? ^^ [10:14] ryorky1: how much swap and ram do you have [10:14] ryorky1: i dont use hibernate or suspend.. many drivers and hardware dont work well with iot. [10:15] no swap, but 8 gigs of ram [10:15] ryorky1: you do want swap = ram+some more for the feature to work properly [10:15] hey [10:15] I AM BACK [10:15] dr_willis, heh hibernate and suspend work great on my system.. however lock with gnomescreensaver puts my system into a coma. [10:15] ryorky1: there is your problem. hybernate and suspend need a bit more gb than ram [10:15] chronicle: 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.html [10:15] dr_willis: how can I add more swap without reformatting or losing files? [10:15] ryorky1: make a swap partition [10:15] thanks crackerjacks! [10:16] a swap file wont work. [10:16] can anyone get the "play" button to work at http://www.xeno-canto.org/123835 ? [10:16] ryorky1: boot a live cd/usb, use gparted to carefully shrink off 8gb and add an 8gb swap [10:16] k, will do [10:16] chronicle: Type "man hier" in your terminal. [10:16] brb gonna log in to lxde [10:16] tnx guys [10:17] leshaste: works fine for me [10:17] ok rypwrveche [10:17] hi [10:17] ntzrmtthihu777, which browser? [10:17] firefox [10:17] leshaste: working fine here too [10:18] iceroot, browser? [10:18] leshaste: ff [10:18] ok it works fine in ff [10:18] leshaste: not working on chromium [10:18] I can't get it to work in chromium [10:19] iceroot, snap!! [10:19] leshaste: same here [10:19] who was it that gave me that apt-get purge command again? [10:19] crackerjackz: me [10:19] ntzrmtthihu777: 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? [10:20] iceroot, hmm.. I wonder if it is worth reporting [10:20] that is a lot to read friend thank you [10:20] leshaste: on there website, yes. a bug against chromium, no [10:20] one more question [10:20] crackerjackz: 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] what is the difference in architecture between linux and windows [10:21] wow... [10:21] iceroot, why is that? [10:21] ntzrmtthihu777: how do i figure how how many packages have to do with unity? === Guest16187 is now known as cantoma [10:21] !purekde | crackerjackz [10:21] crackerjackz: If you want to remove all !Gnome packages and have a default !Kubuntu system follow the instructions here « http://www.psychocats.net/ubuntu/purekde » [10:21] is there any article for starters to read throught? [10:21] iceroot, I mean why isn't it a bug? [10:21] crackerjackz: keep unity-greeter though, that's purdy [10:21] crackerjackz: use the remove part (not the sudo apt-get install kubuntu-desktop part) if you want to remove unity (ubuntu-desktop) [10:21] chronicle: search for what is linux, maybe some UNIX definition [10:21] leshaste: maybe wrong html5 coding [10:22] chronicle: wikipedia have a lot of stuff :P [10:22] iceroot: thank you.. and ntzrmtthihu777 what is unity-greeter? [10:22] iceroot, oh well... also maybe not in that case :) [10:22] iceroot: likely, different browsers support different aspects of it [10:22] leshaste: then i would suggest a bug against chromium [10:22] hahahaha.... it does go like this [10:22] crackerjackz: part of that purdy login screen [10:22] so i presume that you are advanced here all of you [10:22] chronicle: nope :P [10:22] * ntzrmtthihu777 is a noob [10:22] you can program as well i presume... [10:23] :P [10:23] iceroot, ah! It's an mp3 issue [10:23] l057c0d3r : I followed all the steps .. It is displayed whilst shutting down, but not whilst starting up?! [10:24] odd [10:24] chrome: of course, we gather here to take over the world of geeks :P [10:24] leshaste: oh wow, they used the html5 to embed an mp3 not a flash thingus [10:24] iceroot: why would it get rid of brasero? i didn't know that was a part of gnome [10:24] *chronicle [10:24] ntzrmtthihu777, it needs this stuff http://www.omgubuntu.co.uk/2010/11/get-chromium-on-ubuntu-to-play-mp4-h-264-mp3-view-pdf-files-natively [10:24] crackerjackz: it is part of ubuntu-desktop which is the metapackage for the complete gui [10:24] yes Laiquendi [10:24] crackerjackz: that's why I suggested a careful targeted remove of unity-named packages [10:25] sorry ezhilvanan that is how i changed it on mine.. and it works.. might want to look into super boot manager... [10:25] crackerjackz: i thought you want complety remove the gui [10:25] there is a ppa you can add and after that and an apt-get update you can apt-get install sbm [10:25] chroncle: if you wanna educate in linux there are lots/tons of good articles [10:25] iceroot, works now! [10:25] iceroot: hell no, he wanted to get rid of unity in favor of lxde [10:25] l057c0d3r : thank you very much.. Cool.. [10:26] id suggest just sleecting lxde at the login screen and leaveing unity alone. [10:26] crackerjackz: you want lxde instead of unity?

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] and i suggest installing some failsafe window managet just in case.. like jwm [10:28] dr_willis: how do i make sure autologin is disabled? [10:28] chronicle: Check the private message I sent you. [10:28] crackerjackz: does it auto login when you boot up?

[10:29] dr_willis: fortuneatly it was a new-borne installation, so i just went ahead and re-installed again, lol [10:29] install whatever it is you want to run.. be SURE its working right first.. then if you really really feel lucky, remove the other desktops [10:29] and i always install jwm just in case...

[10:34] ntzrmtthihu777: you cant put a running shell into a new screen session [10:34] does anyone know why i might be having issues with "apt-get install libpcre3 libpcre3-dev?"

[10:36] !swap [10:36] swap is used to move unused programs and data out of main memory to make your system faster. It can also be used as extra memory if you don't have enough. See https://help.ubuntu.com/community/SwapFaq for more info [10:36] hmm [10:36] ntzrmtthihu777: how do I do that? [10:37] zAo^: he has 8gb of ram and wants to be able to suspend right [10:37] r [10:37] * dr_willis points to the swap faq mentioned above [10:37] !fstab [10:37] 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 !Partitions [10:37] ntzrmtthihu777, k. Still; 9gb should do? [10:37] ryorky1: gksudo gedit /etc/fstab and make the changes noted in these links ^^ [10:37] zAo^: perhaps he is ocd and likes round numbers [10:37] Hello. I was going through auth.log after some suspicious stuff and I did a search for fail. I saw a few instances of this: http://pastebin.com/Nw51Bgw9 This is really concerning :(.

[10:40] sorry if i flooded chat [10:40] opened lifera [10:40] if i run a linux script with  >/dev/null 2>&1 what does this do [10:40] any windows clients that use smb to your machine? [10:40] closed it.. opened it again [10:41] and it froze up my gnome-shell session [10:41] zAo^ I don't even know what samba is, so I'm guessing that there should not be. [10:41] okay 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 questions [10:41] but after waiting for the countdown from ctl-alt-backspace.. it logged me out and back in all good now :-p wonder what happened [10:41] marcs1989, ¨Windows Network File Shares¨ [10:42] pam_winbind in su, that looks so wrong to me [10:42] many home media players can access samba/windows shares - and often show up in my logs ive noticed [10:42] If someone would be so kind, I'd really appreciate some insight.

[10:43] Oris_, what are you trying to install? [10:43] zAo^ 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] Oris_: try apt-get update and see if there are failures [10:43] nginx with upload progress, but i got pcre errors on ./configuration which lead me to try installing libpcre3 [10:43] ntzrmtthihu777: 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? [10:44] marcs1989, goog thinking. As far as I can see from the log; its just mediaplayers/windows explorer/windows user trying to log on to samba [10:45] ryorky1: its easy enout. do you know what device the swap is on? /dev/sda* ? [10:46] zAo^ 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). [10:47] marcs1989, Hmm. What does ´last´ say? [10:47] not 100% sure [10:47] apt-get install libpcre3 libpcre3-dev is what returned the unmet dependencies [10:47] run gparted, (install it if you don't have it, its nifty) and we can check therr [10:48] zAo^ reboots and my own user names. [10:49] marcs1989, no weird times? [10:50] ryorky1: I'm gonna go to slep at the hour, so we should hurry and get this done :D [10:50] zAo^ Ummm... some of these are from when I was at work. O.O [10:51] marcs1989, I´d change my password and reboot, just to be sure. [10:51] zAo^ Some of them say 'crash' [10:51] marcs1989, crash?

I can use the Compiz-config program that i've installed [10:55] : yep [10:56] check gnome-system-monitor and the resources tab [10:56] did you do the blkid? [10:56] : still says not available [10:57] then its not sda6 or its swapping. do you have gparted? [10:57] : do I have to restart before I can see the change? [10:58] likely [10:58] hello to all [10:58] quick question: any idea how to install the sound drivers ? [10:58] : k, be back in a sec [10:59] theodor: there are a million soundcards with 2 million drivers, be specific [10:59] installed Ubuntu Server 12.04 onto one of our KVM host servers but it does not seem to be able to ping any other machines on our domain ... the Debian machines did not have this issue so it would seem that something needs to be setup on this one system - any ideas what? [11:00] someone pick up on ryorky, I gotta sleep [11:00] I can ping IP's on the network but cannot ping any hostnames [11:01] * ntzrmtthihu777 laters [11:01] I am using Ubuntu 12.10, I think I have VIA HD (motherboard gigabyte ga 970a ud3) [11:01] ntzrmtthihu777>: swap still unavailable, but the swap files are on dev/sda6 [11:02] any other ideas? === jack is now known as Guest92942 [11:02] ryorky1, is t a sep partition for swapping? or a file [11:03] : it's a partition [11:03] I hacked it off of my linux partition [11:03] ryorky1, did you issue ´swapon´ (or mount -a)? [11:04] : nope, how would I do that? [11:05] http://www.via.com.tw/en/support/drivers.jsp [11:05] I cannot find nothing here [11:05] ryorky1, you added the swap partition to /etc/fstab right? [11:05] so anyone else having problems with installign sound drivers ? [11:06] : I guess so, I fdid the following: sudo blkid /dev/sda6 [11:06] is that correct? [11:07] I'm new to this, LOL, as if it isn't obvious [11:08] ryorky1, add ¨/dev/sdaX none swap sw 0 0¨ to /etc/fstab (with the correct disk/partition!!) [11:09] How do I update clamtk [11:09] is it possible to paginate between an application's open windows in Unity, seeing as alt-tab only tabs between different conversations? [11:10] lhavelund: I think there is such a shortcut though I don't use unity and can't recall it. Is it listed in the shortcut list when you hold down your super key? [11:12] zAo^: here is what that file currently has: # swap was on /dev/sda6 during installation [11:12] UUID=8c7681e7-3992-451e-b145-0278c9d9471a none swap sw 0 0 [11:12] Hi [11:13] lhavelund: alt-` maybe [11:13] : does that look right? what else do I need to do to activate/mount it? [11:13] I 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 UEFI [11:13] jrib: Not as far as I can tell. [11:13] !uefi | Gyhy [11:13] Gyhy: 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 [11:13] lhavelund: what ubuntu version? [11:13] How do I know if my laptop has a UEFI? [11:14] jrib: 12.10. [11:14] ok, so the audio device is recognized [11:14] did a $ lspci -v | grep -A7 -i "audio" [11:14] the problem still, nothing can be heard [11:15] Is there a possibility of corrupting my current Windows 7 Installation if I just install Ubuntu as I used to??? [11:15] lhavelund: 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? [11:16] jrib: That does do the trick. Thanks! I haven't used Ubuntu since Gnome2 was the bee's knees. :) [11:17] ok it worked [11:17] finally ! [11:17] Is it safe to simply install Ubuntu and see what happens?? or it is possible to lose my Windows 7? [11:17] the solution was simple, I put the headphones jack in the right place. [11:17] I want to set mysql database path to my mounted windows partition location [11:18] Gyhy: 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 disk [11:19] how can I change in mysql database location to my wamp's mysql database location? [11:19] isn't it possible that Grub might prevent Win7 from booting normally? [11:19] hmm 1080p works a bit freezy, (using Firefox, watching 1080p youtube video) [11:19] Gyhy: I've seen people in here booting win 7 and ubuntu from grub with no problem [11:20] Even with UEFI? [11:20] or in fact the possibility of having a UEFI? [11:20] Gyhy: I believe so [11:20] I 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] Gyhy: 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 channel === ericab is now known as ericab_away [11:21] I am booting with rEFIt (followed install instructions here: http://cberner.com/2012/10/19/installing-ubuntu-12-10-on-macbook-pro-retina/) [11:22] Aha, so is it mandatory to have x64? [11:23] -who [11:23] !uefi | Gyhy [11:23] Gyhy: 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 [11:23] Hi everyone [11:23] hello astalavista12 [11:24] I 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 sta [11:24] any ideas_ [11:24] in order to mount nfs shares in Ubuntu do you have to install nfs-common? [11:25] astalavista12: are all of your packages up to date? [11:25] I guess so [11:25] I'll check my BIOS settings to see if there are some stuff to disable,, [sudo reboot]! [11:25] the problem is that I cannot see that [11:25] Ztane, sorry, I missed your message earlier. I tried apt-get update, I do get some 404s on apt-get update. http://pastebin.com/pWAGMqiX [11:26] astalavista12: are open up the update manager [11:26] astalavista12: what desktop enviornment are you using? [11:26] cracker: I cannot open any thing, all panels are greyed out, I can only see the desktop and the icons on it === ubuntu is now known as Guest66530 [11:27] I think I am using Gnome [11:27] Oris_: surely you shouldnt have any nattys there anymore, as support for it has been dropped.... [11:27] gsfuysgfy [11:27] astalavista12: press ctrl + alt + f2 to get to a terminal [11:27] Oris_: and how come you have two distros mixed up there confusingly :D [11:28] and then... run sudo apt-get update [11:28] cracker: all right. do I need root pw? [11:28] Oris_: you probably have installed the natty pcre-binary already... and [11:29] Oris_: of course bc natty is already unsupported it cannot find the matching dev-package [11:29] 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 know [11:29] astalavista12: yeah you'll need root for what im going to have you end up doing [11:29] astalavista12: is this your computer? [11:30] Oris_: the thing is at some point you have mixed 10.10 urls in the sources.list [11:30] Oris_: but support for 10.10 has been dropped already... :S [11:30] cracker: 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] so i have two pictures of my kids. how do i put different pictures on the other desktops [11:31] 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 have [11:31] yes [11:31] astalavista12: 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 terminal [11:31] Oris_: that is the problem :D [11:31] Oris_: "someone else 'working'" on the server but not maintaining [11:31] so, just remove the references to natty distros? [11:32] Oris_: but it does not help anything yet ... as you have some natty pkgs installed already.... [11:33] cracker: all right. How do I chroot into my ubuntu install? [11:33] Oris_: i think your system is like a chimera of natty and lucid, fancy. [11:33] i had some help setting the server up in the beginning...i've tried to keep up, but I have plenty to learn still [11:34] astalavista12: are you running a 32 bit or 64 bit version of ubuntu? [11:34] what do you suggest? [11:34] Anyone know GitHub? [11:34] i got a ? anyone got an answer [11:34] a) you perhaps should not have ever touched natty as support for it was dropped in 2 yrs === mpmc|Away is now known as mpmc [11:35] How can I add new folder to my repo? [11:35] b) suggest you join #ubuntu-server ;) [11:35] cracker: its the 32 bit [11:36] Oris_: what is running on this server [11:36] anyone? [11:36] everything i've done has been for lucid... i didn't realize it was pulling updates from natty until now. [11:36] astalavista12: do you have a 32 bit version of ubuntu burned to a CD? [11:37] the server is running 10.04, nginx 1.2.7, for drupal mostly [11:37] cracker: yes I do and I can run the trial option from the CD [11:37] Oris_: i am not sure how critical, if not THAT critical i'd try do release upgrade to 12.04 [11:38] or try have the natty packages downgraded to lucid [11:38] jman074: 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 & change [11:38] I do not know how to do the downgrade, anyone? [11:39] roger [11:39] astalavista12: i have a better idea... [11:39] hiya [11:39] crack: sounds great! [11:40] Oris_: https://help.ubuntu.com/community/DowngradeHowto [11:40] thanks, i'll check that out. [11:40] astalavista12: when you turn your computer on and the grub menu comes up.. do you see an option for recovery mode? [11:42] how do i install ubuntu on my windows 7 computer [11:42] jman074: there are a few ways to go about it [11:42] ubottu: how to install ubuntu beside windows 7 [11:42] maveas: I am only a bot, please don't think I'm intelligent :) [11:42] jman074: would you like to keep win 7 on your computer? [11:42] cracker: I am getting a startup menu where I can choose between different ubunu kernel versions and their corresponding recovery modes plus windows, but no matter what I choose the result is still the same [11:42] ubottu: windows 7 [11:43] astalavista12: okay that's good [11:43] maveas: boot the live cd or usb - and follow the install directions [11:43] dual boot [11:43] !install | maveas [11:43] maveas: Ubuntu can be installed in lots of ways. Please see https://help.ubuntu.com/community/Installation for documentation. Problems during install? See https://wiki.ubuntu.com/CommonProblemsInstall - Don't want to use a CD? See http://tinyurl.com/3exghs - See also !automate [11:43] maveas: ubottu is a channel robot. [11:43] i used the windows friendly installer and it did the install and now at the boot screen it asks if i want to run ubuntu or windows but when i choose ubuntu it just takes me bck to that screen [11:43] dr_willis: I know. It wasn't for me but jman074 ;) [11:44] astalavista12: choose recovery mode... then a menu will come up... choose "drop to root shell prompt" [11:44] what is your username? [11:45] jman074: do you want to keep windows and also use ubuntu or do you want to do away with windows all together and just install ubuntu? [11:45] astalavista12: what is your username? [11:45] for the computer you want to change the password on [11:47] cracker: username Term [11:47] cracker: however it does not recognize my password [11:48] cracker: I never used root pw before. Is this the same as the one used as a confirmation when installling programs? [11:49] theres no root password by default. your initial user is the admin. and sudo wants their password. [11:49] and usernames i think are not case senesertive.. but passwords are. ;) [11:54] greetings [11:55] Hey all [11:55] hi [11:55] how can I change in mysql database location to my wamp's mysql database location? [11:57] jony: Edit mysql.conf, though personally I'd just migrate the databases [11:58] dr_willis, usernames are casesensitive [11:59] Linux filesystem is case-sensitive, unlike OS X and Windows [11:59] Touhou11, please tell me the default path for data in my.cnf [11:59] zAo^: cant say ive ever tried. ;) then again.. i rember the installer bug from ages back that let people make a user named 'root' [12:00] hello, i have 3gb ram in my computer in two different slots but ubuntu only detect 2gb ? [12:00] dr_jesus, lol; with uid 1000? [12:00] zAo^: yea - i cant rember the details.. but there was a supriseing # of people that used root as their username [12:01] case senesetive user names - seem also.. a bit.. weird. ;) [12:01] yeah [12:02] sucks when your capslock is on by mistake when you enter your info. ;) [12:02] Hey, I need some Ubuntu support [12:02] I'm not sure if I am in the right channel [12:02] haha, vi /etc/passwd then :$ [12:02] !details [12:02] Please give us full details. For example: "I have a problem with ..., I'm running Ubuntu version .... When I try to do ..., I get the following output: ..., but I expected it to do ..."

NOT sdb.. unless macs are really weird [12:04] Oh [12:04] Lemmie try then [12:04] dr_willis, I wish I could see where it got that value.

Thanks. [12:05] paste the commands only.. [12:05] Oh, I'm sorry [12:05] astalavista12: reboot your computer and boot from recoverymode .. a menu will come up.. then choose "drop to root shell prompt" [12:05] or just use a pastebin site. [12:06] astalavista12: then lets pretend your username was john... youd type passwd john then press enter... it will then ask you to type a new password [12:06] dr_willis: does that advice i just gave astalavista12 sound about right? [12:06] cracker: all right. what is the next step then? [12:06] crackerjackz: looks about right [12:06] set the password.. reboot [12:07] astalavista12: just turn your computer off and turn it back on... choose recovery mode [12:07] a menu will pop up... choose "drop to root shell" [12:07] hold shift if the grub menu does not appear [12:07] at bootup [12:08] then pretend your username is john... youd type something like passwd john then press enter.. then it will ask you to enter a new password.. enter the new password then enter it again to confirm... after you've set a password type reboot and press enter [12:08] cracker:all right. I will do that and let you know [12:19] hi every one, am requesting for assistance on how to upgrade git from version 7 to 8 on any other on ubuntu [12:20] k-joseph: is there an ubuntu package for the upgrade ?

[12:23] kelye: are there any other programs that are better compatible with word? [12:23] not that I know of :( [12:23] better try to save from word in a different format [12:24] even odf [12:24] theres the libreoffice channels also [12:24] oh, ill try that one [12:24] dr_willis, tu madre === arkx_ is now known as arkx [12:26] amazing how simple wordprocessing can become so complex... [12:27] where should i turn for mac-help? ^^ [12:27] depends on what OS you are running on it. [12:27] ubuntu [12:27] Then you are here. ;) [12:27] :P [12:28] its weird that it just doesnt work [12:28] Hello [12:28] Ubuntu mobile released for download ? [12:28] !phone [12:28] Information about the Ubuntu Touch platform for Phone and Tablet is available here https://wiki.ubuntu.com/Touch support and discussion in #ubuntu-touch [12:29] dr_willis, tu madre es una grande puta! [12:29] Nacho Bell Grande? [12:29] Well, the wiki tells me to install the nvidia drivers, but when i do, xorg stops functioning. [12:29] Having some problems with Ubuntu 12.10 & fglrx. Is this the right place to ask? [12:29] dr_willis, kick that jerk [12:29] djbengan: you may want to check the askubuntu.com site for info on your specific make mac. [12:29] habla espanol makaor? [12:30] djbengan: make sure you have the kernel headers installed to your kernel [12:30] !es | cagriwary [12:30] cagriwary: En la mayoría de los canales de Ubuntu, se habla sólo en inglés. Si busca ayuda en español entre al canal #ubuntu-es; escriba "/join #ubuntu-es" (sin comillas) y presione intro. [12:30] cagriwary, si [12:30] hahaha [12:30] i did check the askubuntu site, thats why im here. there is nothing on 12.10 and 3,1 macbook air... [12:30] After I installed fglrx the UI has completely disappeared. Any fix? [12:31] cag , he's in greece [12:31] cagriwary,^ [12:31] They really need to make/revive that failsafe-x wizard thing for people that have these way to common driver issues [12:32] but, the headers? rnt they installed by defualt? [12:32] How do I fix that without using the failsafe-x wizard or it's revival? ;) [12:33] djbengan: make sure to have them right. its a common problem [12:34] turned out i had no headers [12:34] ty [12:34] guys, what word processor can you guys recommend for me [12:34] cagriwary: depends on your needs. [12:35] light ussage = abiword. mainstream = libreoffice [12:35] hardcore = LaTeX ;P [12:35] i need a processor where i can integrate with word [12:35] No idea [12:35] ;P [12:35] i thought about latex [12:35] make sure you save your word stuff as ODT i guess [12:35] but, noone on my class uses it [12:36] yeah, but i just tried that. and it ruined the doc completely [12:36] all pictures went to the top left corner [12:36] cagriwary: that suits better into the offtopic channel. except there is a technical issue [12:36] cagriwary: try freeoffice (which ironically free but proprietary) [12:37] trying a reboot now, fingers crossed [12:37] cagriwary: has the best word filters around. very stable and robust [12:39] heh. Not in school any more.. abiword does my needs. [12:39] used troff and tex ages ago.

[12:43] Too big. ;) [12:43] and too Libre. === Kitar|st_ is now known as Kitar|st [12:46] Hi all, I'm using rxvt-unicode-256color -- but when I SSH into a remote machine, backspace doesn't work, CTRL+L doesn't work and I get "unknown terminal type" [12:46] How can I fix this for all SSH connections? [12:46] always amuseing to see articals on using minimal-distraction-free text editors... gee thats all we had back then. ;) [12:46] set your TERM type perhaps? [12:47] can I set it in .ssh/config or somewhere? [12:47] as for the backspace.. theres a old backspace-delete howto at tldp.org with many fixs [12:47] really it should set itself when you connect [12:47] echo $TERM and see what it says [12:47] Its "unknown terminal type: rxvt-unicode-256color" [12:48] the remote system doesn't have any understanding of 256color terminals, and I can't put it on because there are dozens of these machines [12:48] so echo $TERM gives 'rxvt-unicode-256color' ? [12:48] yes [12:48] but the remote machine doesn't understand that $TERM [12:48] try export TERM='xterm' [12:49] why are you using rxvt-unicode-256color anyway? [12:49] It worked! Can I have this inside of my .ssh/config [12:49] its a hack.. the machine really should have a proper termcap [12:49] dr_willis: For ViM, Midnight Commander, weechat, and Ranger [12:49] what OS are you sshing into? [12:49] Ubuntu 12.04 on EC2 [12:49] TakumoKatekari: All of those are xterm-compatible... [12:49] normal rxvt and xterm should work fine [12:49] TakumoKatekari: that is weird.. Id bet they dident install the proper termcap stuff by default [12:50] best fix would be to install that termcap stuff.. [12:50] dr_willis: That's not an option, these are company servers, and there are dozens of them. [12:50] egads - this is OLD skool knowledge im using today [12:50] .ssh/config supports SendEnv [12:51] or you could use a more common terminal emulator. ;) [12:51] I know see this a lot in a terminal [12:51] On Wednesday, the FSA said members of the public were to be asked if they find low levels - or "trace contamination" - of horse and other species in beef products acceptable.

[12:53] of course if it thinks its a xterm - it may not use 256 colors [12:53] i installed the suggested header, [12:53] dr_willis: TERM="xterm-color" # Problem solved.

[13:21] crackerjackz: i works now, at least I was able to get in [13:21] "it" [13:22] Layke: You use "visudo" to edit that file and don't touch it by hand, normally. Boot into recovery mode and fix it from there. [13:22] theadmin: imgur.com/uBuBY4Q [13:22] O okay. Woops [13:22] I have the Python 2.6.6 version, I want the python 2.7 ! [13:22] cravkerjazz: you are the man! [13:23] d3c0: Then you'll need to upgrade Ubuntu to at least 12.04. [13:24] there are another choices? [13:24] Does 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 friendly [13:24] No, trying to upgrade Python through third-pary sources will likely break half your system. [13:24] astalavista12: The same, no, not anymore. But, take a look at this, it's very very similar: http://xubuntu.org [13:25] http://www.reddit.com/r/AdultDating18/comments/19t98u/ebony_pornstar_simone_staxxx/ [13:26] cheers the admin. I never tried xubuntu before. What are the pros, cons in comparison to ubuntu? [13:26] astalavista12: You can easily install Xubuntu from within Ubuntu by "sudo apt-get install xubuntu-desktop". [13:26] it rulez [13:27] !notunity | astalavista12 [13:27] astalavista12: Ubuntu 11.10 and higher use GNOME 3 with the !unity shell by default. To use GNOME Shell instead, install the "gnome-shell" package and investigate "gnome-tweak-tool". For GNOME Fallback mode, which is similar to GNOME 2, install "gnome-panel". Both packages will place entries in the Sessions dropdown. Using Natty? See !classic [13:27] tried --reinstall on unity [13:27] astalavista12: but xfce and lxde look like gnome2 too [13:27] astalavista12: 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] astalavista12: As for disadvantages, I only found one major one: Thunar doesn't integrate with Ubuntu One sanely, but you can still fix that. Somewhat. [13:28] runs fast on 1g ram [13:28] all right, thanx to everyone for the info! [13:29] trying xubuntu-desktop to check if it is unity or the system itself... [13:30] i find it intresting how about 1 in 4 install comes out with working unity on the macbook air [13:33] hello. I'm working voluntary for a non-profit organisation. We have a ubuntu 12.04 running. We have got quite a few doc, xls, pdf and some text files. What would be an easy way to have a browser based searchable index which indexes text from files and names of all the files, including audio file names ? Your help greatly appreciated .. [13:34] Anyone here having a LOT of time? [13:35] sed s/foo/goo oldFile > newFile ---------> sed: -e expression #1, char 11: unterminated `s' command ---what's wrong? [13:35] levo: s/foo/goo/ [13:35] Stdedos: That's not a support question. [13:36] theadmin: indeed it is not, but I want some help on compliling kernel in VM [13:36] Hi there. I try to setup a virtual machine host usgin libvirt on 12.04. Now I have two ethernet ports on my system. eth0 is statically configured to be my host systems IP now I'd like to set up a bridge on eth1 with no IP so my vitual machoines can access our LAN through that bridge. I tried this setup http://pastebin.com/Qi1XHnnH but "service networking restart" does not apply my br0. A manual "ifdown br0" results in "ifdown: interface br0 not [13:36] configured". Any ideas? [13:36] Stdedos: Why would you even bother... The stock kernel woks fine for about anything [13:36] Linux question: I want to compress a directory using lzma. tar --lzma -xvf dir.tar.lzma dir/ <== looking at this, how do I make lzma use highest compression ratio? [13:37] theadmin: Uni student, messing with Kernel [13:37] theadmin: project [13:37] meditator: http://www.webresourcesdepot.com/open-source-dropbox-alternatives-to-start-building-a-file-storage-sharing-system/ [13:38] Stdedos: Well, you can PM me. I don't have a "LOT" of time always, but sometimes I do have free time to help. [13:41] Anyone know what XOrg version ubuntu 13.04 will be getting? [13:41] won't be [13:41] ditching it [13:41] thanks ActionParsnip , but these seem to be just storage systems with user management etc.... they dont seem to have search capabilities for the content that is stored ? [13:41] Using Mir [13:42] nikitis: no [13:42] Anyone have an answer for my question above? [13:42] 13.04 won't be using Mir, no. It will be quite a while until Mir can maybe replace Xorg for normal desktops [13:42] i need a guru for my question. Google doesn't answer [13:42] avu: #ubuntu+1 for anything Raring based til release day please [13:43] nikitis: ask and see [13:43] i did [13:43] nikitis: Try something along the lines of: tar c dir | lzma -9e > output.tar.lzma [13:43] Ubuntu is ultra fast, but I want to switch it to the next level, I want to migrate it to my ssd hard drive [13:43] how can I migrate and keep the same settings ? [13:43] nikitis: after you make the file, gzip it with the highest compression [13:43] well i want to use lzma [13:44] nikitis: And that will. [13:44] the cleanest way to do it was the way I stated [13:44] nikitis: same thing, use tar, then lzma with -9 [13:44] but not sure where to add the -9 [13:44] fatninja: make a backup (as you should be already) then restore the backup [13:44] it's that easy ? [13:44] hapster, whatever is recent at the time in debian .... (and X will run fine on top of Mir, no worries) [13:44] fatninja: sure, why wouldn't it be? [13:44] im now running gnome3 and all the issues are solved. [13:45] ok, but then I need to update the bootloader [13:45] tar --lzma cvf file.tar.lzma directory/ [13:45] right ? [13:45] nikitis: I just gave you the whole command: tar c DIR | lzma -9e > OUTFILE [13:45] ok [13:45] hey guys, how can I make FF my default browser? opening links keeps opening chromium [13:45] that's just a bit hard to remember [13:45] nikitis: if you are working on already compressed data, unless it is a LOT you probably won't notice a huge amount of difference [13:45] ogra_ but Mir will be expected on 14.04 right? not 13.04? [13:45] frew: System Settings -> Details -> Default apps [13:46] nikitis: once you do something once, you could make a script :) [13:46] thanks [13:46] hapster, well, its not clear yet if there will actually be a 13.04 ... but yeah, the actual switch is planned for around october [13:46] ActionParsnip: yes, but i tend to zip 8GB + files [13:46] a lot [13:46] frew: what are you opening the links in? [13:46] nikitis: then I'd script it, saves leg works [13:47] ActionParsnip: right clicking links in terminator and clicking open... [13:48] ogra_ yeah couldn't get any news on that. Would want to see it running asap though. [13:49] hapster, https://plus.google.com/110095242873945299189/posts [13:50] he's the lead dev [13:50] (or one of them) [13:51] frew: then theadmin's advice will fly :) [13:51] i helped with commits for dual monitors on xorg years ago [13:51] yeah I already checked :) [13:52] ogra_ Thanks. I've seen those videos already but no word yet on weather it will be for the April release. Looks like it still has a long way to go [13:52] it surely has [13:52] though you will likely see it on touch devices very soon [13:52] faster tthan on desktops [13:52] The wayland codebase is more developed, maybe they'll switch if behind schedule [13:53] nope [13:53] what does current ubuntu tablet do? [13:53] wayland is so far from Mir they dont have much in common [13:53] !tablet [13:53] Information about the Ubuntu Touch platform for Phone and Tablet is available here https://wiki.ubuntu.com/Touch support and discussion in #ubuntu-touch [13:53] !phone | nikitis [13:53] nikitis: please see above [13:53] dont belive the FUD you read :) [13:53] ogra_: The only FUD was from Canonical... Wayland developers debunked most of the claims in the spec, they hadn't even been approached... [13:53] (mir is closer to androids surfaceflinger than to wayland) [13:54] Hey all. What's the right way to disable my /etc/init.d/isc-dhcp-server from running on boot? To just delete / move the file? [13:54] !ot | ogra_ [13:54] ogra_: #ubuntu is the Ubuntu support channel, for all Ubuntu-related support questions. Please use #ubuntu-offtopic for other topics (though our !guidelines apply there too). Thanks! [13:54] This is really a better topic for #ubuntu-touch or -discuss than -fftopic [13:54] yeah, sorry [13:56] hi [13:56] marahin: sudo update-rc.d -f isc-dhcp-server remove [13:57] nooga, greetings === LaserShark is now known as ZombieShark [13:57] marahin: or you can disable it [13:57] I'm trying to add unetbootin made usb stick as a package source in freshly installed ubuntu (no internet access because wifi driver failed) [13:57] marahin: update-rc.d service disable runlevel [13:57] histo, I think that you're misstabbing me. [13:57] i've added deb file://path/to/mounted/stick/dists/quantal quantal main restricted [13:58] narcos: see updat-rc.d commands [13:58] marahin: sorry [13:58] np. [13:58] to the sources list... but it looks like apt-get update fails on that [13:58] narcos: you can sudo update-rc.d -f isc-dhcp-server remove to remove the scripts or use update-rc.d service disable runlevel to disable it [13:58] even though i have Release and Release.gpg files in there, and overall structure looks fine [13:59] nooga, can I ask what wifi chip you've got? if, as I suspect, it's a broadcom, the fix is pretty easy ... [13:59] cfhowlett: broadcom [13:59] :D [13:59] narcos: the most proper way would be to disable it [13:59] nooga and you're running 12.10? wait 1 [13:59] cfhowlett: yes, i'm trying this atm: http://askubuntu.com/a/215342 [14:00] narcos: so sudo update-rc.d isc-dhcp-server disable [14:00] but without internet connection and apt sources i think i cannot do that [14:00] Hi all. I have ubuntu server 12.04 on RAID 1, but it can't find GRUB and keeps asking me for a system disk. I installed GRUb form live dvd few times but it doesn't work. HELP [14:00] nooga, pretty sure we can get your internet up ... [14:01] cfhowlett: how? :) [14:01] nooga, first things first: open a terminal and run this command lspci -vvnn | grep 14e4 [14:01] nooga terminal? [14:01] will it help if I copy /boot/grub from archive to the filesystem? [14:02] nooga, type terminal on the dash then click. [14:02] cfhowlett: says BCM4312 802.11b/g LP-PHY [14e4:4315] (rev 01) [14:02] i'm retyping this on another computer :D [14:02] nooga, sweet. you'll kick yourself when you see how easy this is ... [14:03] I can't wait :D [14:03] hi guys, anybody has a complete command to show memory usage by percentage using vmstat ? this is the only available on Sun OS [14:03] nooga, in the following link, see the STA - No Internet Access method. You even get to use that nice usb stick you made ... http://turbolinux.org/2011/07/ubuntu-broadcom-bcm43xx-chipset-pci/ [14:04] okay... sec [14:04] lcabreza, you can get a breakdown of memory usage using 'top' [14:06] nooga ??? [14:06] cbeebie: no top command available [14:07] lcabreza1: Are you running Ubuntu? [14:07] hi [14:07] Pici:the current os i support is on Sun OS wondering if anybody has an idea .. [14:08] $ which android - cannot locate the command, when android's directory is in PATH, how can i fix it ? [14:08] shmoon, android? this is ubuntu ... [14:08] lcabreza1: Well, this is #ubuntu, and we only support Ubuntu here. I don't know what their channel is, but perhaps #freenode or alis (/msg alis help list) can help you find it. [14:08] Can we expect ubuntu 13.04 by end of this Month? [14:08] cfhowlett: talking about the which command, android is just an executable [14:08] ezhilvanan, no. 04 means april [14:09] !schedule-#ubuntu+1 > ezhilvanan [14:09] ezhilvanan, please see my private message [14:09] Pici: Thanks anyways ..just don't know the room for SUN Os .. [14:09] cfhowlett: $ which executable should output the path of a command rigt ? [14:09] Hey, I edited /etc/sudoers ( I didn't know about visudo), anyway, when I boot into recovery mode, I can't even edit the /etc/sudoers file [14:09] in my case it doesnt for a command whose PATH was just added, is there a way to fix this. [14:09] ANy ideas? [14:09] this is preventing a sofyware from executing [14:09] shmoon, sorry, I've got to punt. Over my head. [14:09] thanks for your replies [14:10] ezhilvanan, best of luck [14:10] punt? [14:10] cfhowlett, thanks [14:10] shmoon: does the path you 'added' show up in echo $PATH? [14:10] shmoon, sorry. I can't answer your query. Perhaps someone else more knowledgeable ... [14:10] Pici: yes, and typing and and hitting tab also completed android [14:11] ubottu, thanks [14:11] You're welcome! But keep in mind I'm just a bot ;-) [14:11] means? [14:11] cfhowlett: done, thanks! It magically worked! [14:11] it's an automated script [14:11] not a real person :) [14:12] nooga, was that not just ridiculously easy? [14:12] yeah [14:12] nooga, bookmark the page for next time. glad I could help [14:13] shmoon: hmm, it seems to work for me here. [14:13] big thanks cfhowlett [14:13] do i have to reboot ? [14:13] shmoon: you shouldn't have to do anything. You could try doing running rehash though [14:14] theres no rehash command [14:14] hello [14:14] shmoon: sorry, was thinking about zsh. [14:15] does anyone uses rabbitsvn? [14:16] I have ubuntu server 12.04 on RAID 1, but it can't find GRUB and keeps asking me for a system disk. I installed GRUb form live dvd few times but it doesn't work. HELP [14:16] shmoon: Anyway, I just tested in bash too and which was instantly able to find a new executable I put in a new entry in PATH [14:16] will it help if I copy /boot/grub from archive to the filesystem? [14:16] PeterGriffin, maybe ask in #ubuntu-server ??? [14:17] what happened to firefox settings in raring ringtail daily? [14:17] privacy settings are disabled by default [14:17] what is raring ringtail ? [14:17] no chance to enable them manually [14:17] !ubuntu+1|mynameisbruce, [14:17] mynameisbruce,: Raring Ringtail is the codename for Ubuntu 13.04 - Support only in #ubuntu+1 [14:18] oha [14:18] sorry... [14:18] ic ty [14:18] new to all this [14:18] TaMpeRen, not to worry [14:19] ubuntu impoved alot from last i used it [14:20] Pici: strange [14:20] is there a way i can ignore all the people who join the and quit the channel? === VD is now known as Guest34305 [14:20] TaMpeRen: which client? [14:20] its website site [14:20] TaMpeRen, depends on your irc client. check the preferences ... [14:21] installed Mirc [14:21] dont know how to connect [14:21] On Ubuntu? [14:21] currently on windows [14:21] TaMpeRen: Theres a setting in the options button on the upper right or left of the window that you can use to hide joins/parts/quits [14:22] TaMpeRen: then I'd look on mirc things, why not use one of the many native irc clients for Linux [14:22] Its the webchat, not mirc. [14:22] i am installing it on my laptop now [14:23] When I boot, I get to select lots of different versions to boot to.. Ubuntu, with Linux 3.0.0-generic etc.. and like 6 others. What exactly are these? [14:23] No support for mIRC here! :P [14:23] layke_: old kernels [14:23] Join quakenet for that [14:23] layke_, old kernels that you have saved ... [14:23] hi [14:24] layke_: it's always a good idea to save at least one old kernel if the newly installed doesn't start properly :) [14:24] on i on ubuntu [14:24] Okay, I ask, because I can boot into 2.8.0, but I accidentally, killed my /etc/sudoers file in my 3.0.0, and I can't repair it. Is there a way, while I'm in 2.8.0, to edit the 3.0.0 /etc/sudoers ? [14:24] maveas, I'm not even sure how to save, but apparently it must do it automatically? [14:24] layke_: I suggest you repoair by using a liveCD [14:24] which one to install [14:24] TaMpeRen: which one what?? [14:25] irc in ubuntu [14:25] layke_: per default is't saving them ofc, but you could remove the old to clear some space [14:25] Quassel? [14:25] hello. Does Ubuntu have a mechanism to automatically remove old kernels? if so, then how many kernels does it remove and when? [14:25] xChat [14:25] TaMpeRen: do yo ulike the scriptability in mirc? [14:25] TaMpeRen, pretty sure you've already got an irc client in your ubuntu ... [14:25] TaMpeRen, x-chat is ok [14:25] TaMpeRen: Depends on your level and if you want gui/non-gui [14:25] I don't have any CDs unfortunately. (CD's to actually burn to disk). [14:25] TaMpeRen: do you actually use mirc fully> [14:25] TaMpeRen: I'm using irssi [14:25] my first time using [14:25] i think i will like gui [14:25] for starters [14:26] hi [14:26] TaMpeRen: then I suggest you use xchat or pidgin, nice and easy [14:26] 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] I just added somethign invalid by mistake to /etc/sudoers so now nothing works for me. [14:26] And booting to recovery, I can't run pkexec visudo, and vi /etc/sudoers is read only, so I can't save. [14:27] marc_smith, not automatically no ... [14:27] marc_smith, and, as mentioned, recommended practice is to keep at least one "old" kernel ... just in cae. [14:27] cfhowlett: thx. Is there any way to add such functionality? [14:27] mplayer -ao pcm -vo null -vc dummy -dumpaudio -dumpfile [14:27] installing action [14:27] damn [14:27] marc_smith, probably but I'm not the one to ask ... [14:28] cfhowlett: thx anyway [14:28] E: Could not get lock /var/cache/apt/archives/lock - open (11: Resource temporarily unavailable) [14:28] layke_: you can make modification in recovery mode [14:28] hero100, That was what I thought, but when I get to recovery mode, even though I am root, [14:28] I can't make modifications [14:28] Everything is read only [14:28] yes, just click another menu [14:28] !aptfix | levo [14:28] levo: If an APT front-end crashed and your database is locked, try this in a !terminal: « sudo fuser -vki /var/lib/dpkg/lock;sudo dpkg --configure -a » [14:29] I cannot remember clear [14:29] levo: I assume no updates are running and software centre is not open [14:29] Okay, I'll try [14:29] Let's try again :) [14:29] done [14:29] actionparsnipe [14:30] ubottu: no result [14:30] layke_: it's not named recovery, not seems naturally [14:31] action [14:31] i made the account for IRC [14:31] can anyone help me with bluetooth device driver ? I am on 12.10. [14:31] !who [14:31] As you can see, this is a large channel. If you're speaking to someone in particular, please put their nickname in what you say (use !tab), or else messages get lost and it becomes confusing :) [14:31] thanks ubottu [14:32] TaMpeRen: most clients can auto-identify you [14:32] ActionParsnip: hey [14:32] ActionParsnip: k lemme youtube this [14:33] ActionParsnip: how about killing apt-get process? [14:33] levo: are updates running or software centre open? [14:33] no [14:33] none [14:33] spine [14:33] ohh ok i am in [14:33] levo: then run the command ubottu gave and kill the process given [14:34] ActionParsnip, Can you suggest anything regarding the bluetooth device ? I cant get it to work anyhow on my 12.10 setup [14:35] WhiteHorse: if you run: dmesg | grep -i blue do you see outputs? [14:35] if i wanted to downgrade a version of software, eg squirrelmail, i know i can do apt-get install squirrelmail="$version", but how do i find out what $version is? current version is '2:1.4.23~svn20120406-1' [14:36] so from that, how do i work out the previous version name? [14:36] i've found this: http://archive.ubuntu.com/ubuntu/pool/universe/s/squirrelmail/ [14:36] ActionParsnip, Yes, there are several lines [14:36] but i just can't seem to suss it :) [14:37] Does anyone uses anyone uses RabbitSvn? [14:37] WhiteHorse: what is the output of: cat /etc/issue [14:37] does anyone know a tool like ultramon, move a cursor between dual screen with a shortcut? (gnome-shell) [14:37] kang_: look into synergy [14:37] ActionParsnip, its Ubuntu 12.10 \n \l [14:38] ActionParsnip, i will try it. thx. :) [14:38] kang_: doesn't need a shortcut either [14:38] WhiteHorse: does the system have a make and model? [14:38] WhiteHorse: do you dual boot the system? [14:39] ActionParsnip, Yes it is a dual boot machine with windows 7 and 12.10. Particularly, Sony Vaio, E series [14:40] may I disable these deamons into VM? hybrid-gfx / tty# / wait-for-state [14:40] Guys speak again soon....nice afdternoon to everyone [14:41] :) [14:41] WhiteHorse: in windows device manager, set the bluetooth to not be power managed and disable it's ability to wake up the system [14:41] ActionParsnip, Alright, I'll try that. [14:42] WhiteHorse: also make sure you have the latest BIOS [14:42] \join #laravel [14:43] ActionParsnip, i only use one system, can be use it? the intro show a difreent system. my envrionment: 1920x1080+1200x1600 with one pc. bad english :( [14:43] WhiteHorse: and if there is a hard switch to enable / disable bluetooth, switch it on [14:43] hello everyone. For my work I have to make a syslog-ng server to centralize every logs. I though it was ok but now, I can see that I don't have every logs, for example, apache, mysql, apt, boot are not sent to the server. I think I would add source in the syslog-ng local config file in order to send more logs but I'm not sure how proceed [14:43] kang_: it is cross platform, so you can have mac, linux and windows all controlled by one mouse and one keyboard [14:44] ActionParsnip, there is a hardware button for wireless connectivity, it manages both the WiFi and Bluetooth devices. usually it is turned on. [14:44] anyone can tell me how to connect pidgin to facebook? [14:45] may I disable these deamons into VM? hybrid-gfx / tty# / wait-for-state [14:46] TaMpeRen: https://code.google.com/p/pidgin-facebookchat/ maybe....

So I can't use it to wget a file on a server without a web browser? really?!?!?! [14:51] astalavista12: do you get web access under ubuntu> [14:51] tonsofpcs: Yeah. [14:51] action: yes, i do [14:51] tonsofpcs: there are hundreds of pastebin services...... [14:51] i am using a ubuntu session right now [14:52] astalavista12: do other clients show the same behaviour? [14:52] ActionParsnip: yes, but pastebinit is written to work with the ubuntu pastebin service now.... [14:52] tonsofpcs: you can change the server [14:53] theadmin: I find this silly, since with a web browser I can just select and copy out the data .. [14:53] Action: no, only this one [14:53] astalavista12: i'd try others, see if it affects them all [14:54] Action: ok, I will check, cheers [14:55] tonsofpcs: Yeah well, use some other one. sprunge, hastebin etc. [14:56] I don't quite get what's the point of having to log in for that as well [14:56] tonsofpcs: you can use the web browser as you are already logged into Launchpad [14:56] tis silly though [14:57] Ever 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? [14:58] K1rk: Downgrading isn't supported by APT. You can try to apt-get install packagename=version, but you'd have to do that for every package yourself, plus that will only work if the old version is still in the repos or cache [14:58] ActionParsnip: you can get the whole text without logging in if you have a web browser. If you don't have a web browser, you can't login .'. you can't get the whole text.... [14:59] theadmin, okay I'll take a look at that, thanks [15:00] K1rk: You can also use APT pinning, I guess [15:01] may I disable these deamons into VM? hybrid-gfx / wait-for-state [15:02] Hi. 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] Hi. I'm about to install ubuntu 12.04 on my samsung laptop. The model I'm using has a known efi malfunction that can lead to permanent brick. Is there a way to install Ubuntu 12.04 without EFI module ? [15:02] hello everyone. For my work I have to make a syslog-ng server to centralize every logs. I though it was ok but now, I can see that I don't have every logs, for example, apache, mysql, apt, boot are not sent to the server. I think I would add source in the syslog-ng local config file in order to send more logs but I'm not sure how proceed [15:03] tonsofpcs: you did log in, just a while ago. The launchpad login is remembered [15:03] Hey theadmin ... I am looking through some of my old DPKG logs... is this normal? http://paste.ubuntu.com/5593320/ [15:03] tonsofpcs: if you log out of launchpad and close your browser then hit the page, you will need to relogin [15:03] K1rk: Seems fine to me [15:03] Why is it unpacking the same package over and over and over? [15:04] K1rk: its probably slightly differently named [15:04] need help remove partial upgrade. i want to stick to 12.04. how do i do that ? [15:05] lcabreza1, if you already started the upgrade theres nothing you can do, likely. [15:06] ActionParsnip, we don't automatically upgrade anything... we do not have cron-apt or anything else installed. Is this unattended-upgrades doing this? That's the only thing I can come up with. [15:07] so i purged unity and compiz from 12.10 before, can i reinstall it again? [15:08] hello [15:08] artrei: sure, why not [15:08] Hello. I'm trying to set up an unattended installation, but after loading the preseed file (either by URL or by kernel parameter) it just boot and show the installation dialog. Anyone has worked with that in the past and has an example/tutorial? Thanks [15:08] jrib, would it just work like default again? [15:08] artrei: it should. Just install ubuntu-desktop [15:09] thanks jrib === marrusl_afk is now known as marrusl [15:10] bean: there must be another way .

[15:29] Hello [15:29] hello too [15:30] K1rk: the unpacking of the packages etc.. [15:30] It looks like there was an issue with one of the upgrades (cups) with a config file question [15:30] It was partially installed... [15:30] running dpkg --configure -a has returned me to the prompts, which i interacted with as needed [15:30] I suspect this may resolve our issues....they may have stemmed from the package being partly installed. [15:30] K1rk: could reinstall the package that was having issues [15:30] I installed ubuntu using the windows installer. And for some reason it won't accept my password. Is there a way to reset it? I've looked up a way, but it requires some GRUB screen which I can't access [15:32] Bennyz: if you press CTRL+ALT+F1 can you log in there? [15:32] Hi all. I'm running quantal.

I'm using emacs and gnome opens a menu when I press for exemple ALT+E...

[15:47] Bennyz: looks a lot like this http://www.psychocats.net/ubuntu/resetpassword [15:47] actionparsnip i will follow your advice, could you tell me what version should i try [15:47] yellowmans: xubuntu 12.04 [15:47] yellowmans: xubuntu 12.04 it is LTS [15:48] holstein: I don't know how to access this screen [15:48] ok thank you, then i should force shut down notebook wille in grub rescue> nothing works [15:49] yellowmans: your partitions aren't mounted so it should be ok [15:49] thank you [15:50] Bennyz: from the link i gave, near the top of the instructions "If you have a single-boot (Ubuntu is the only operating system on your computer), to get the boot menu to show, you have to hold down the Shift key during bootup." [15:50] I don't have a single boot :\ [15:51] I installed ubuntu using the windows installer [15:51] Bennyz: try the shift key if you see no grub options at boot [15:51] The shift key didn't work as well [15:52] Bennyz: http://ubuntuforums.org/showthread.php?t=1041232 comes up when i search [15:52] How can one stop the ALT+... to open the menus?? in 12.04? It's catching my emacs shortcuts? [15:53] jil: you can change the shortcut for HUD if that's what you mean? [15:53] jil: in your terminal? [15:53] jil: in unity? in ubuntu 12.10? i would look at the keyboard options and see if the shortcuts are there and can be remapped [15:53] Which one is recommended : ia32-libs or multiarch support ? [15:53] holstein: the grub thing doesn't prompt [15:53] Faris: ia32-libs just uses installs a bunch of multiarch packages now [15:53] s/uses// [15:54] Bennyz: yes, but when you get teh choice of OS at boot, is there additional text which implies how you can do additional things [15:54] in my gnome desktop on ubuntu 12.04... it's not amoung the system/keyboard shortcuts [15:54] jil: are you using xemacs or emacs in a terminal? [15:54] ALT+E will also send me to the menu when I'm in the terminal [15:54] ActionParsnip: Yes, I can press tab and then choose that windows diagnostics thing [15:54] jrib: What's the most frugal way to run 32-bit binaries in a 64-bit system ? [15:55] Bennyz: so if you hover over the Ubuntu option and hit F8, you don't get additional options? [15:55] jrib xemacs but it does the same if I have the terminal open in the gnome env. [15:55] Faris: frugal in what sense? I think multiarch is the way you should do it... [15:55] ActionParsnip: nope [15:56] Bennyz: http://www.ict.kth.se/courses/IS1500/2011/swsetup/wubipix/08-boot-screen.jpg you sure, read below the red text...... [15:56] jrib: Thanks! [15:56] jil: well in the terminal, you can just hit "edit → keyboard shortcuts" and disable the accelerators. For xemacs, you probably need to change gtk2 or gtk3 settings and disable accelerators [15:57] Bennyz: 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] ActionParsnip: I'm pretty sure I don't have it, but I'll try again to be sure [15:58] Bennyz: or anyting similar really [15:58] jrib, in the keyboard shortcut does not permit disabling the ALT to focus on the menu... although I looked for it that's the problem. [15:58] holstein: in the screen that appears in ActionParsnip's link [15:58] brb [15:59] jil: when you go to "keyboard shortcuts" from the "edit" menu in gnom-terminal, you should have "enable menu access keys" as the first checkbox [15:59] Do ubuntu 12.10 use unity as default gui ? [15:59] idrofox: it uses Unity shell, yes [15:59] Thanks [15:59] idrofox: on Gnome desktop with Compiz as the window manager [16:00] idrofox: you can change it as you wish, or install xubuntu or kubuntu if you prefer those desktops etc [16:00] hi, I'm a retard; I've messed up my video settings/driver and now I can't get resolutions above 1024x768 using nvidia card [16:00] ok thx i just want to know cuz i am looking to install extension or widgets [16:00] azrad: you could elaborate about how you messed it up [16:01] idrofox, gnome-shell has extensions [16:01] idrofox: ubuntu uses unity by default, and has access to other desktop environments by default as well [16:01] azrad: what is the output of: cat /etc/issue [16:01] I just upgraded my ubuntu box with a new motherboard, and now my (new) network interface is called eth1 instead of eth0 (as my network interface was named with the older motherboard). How do I change it so that it's called eth0 again? [16:01] good morning guys. i am having some troubles getting my new displaylink adaptor working. has anyone here used them?? [16:01] ActionParsnip: I checked. I only have the F8 for windows, nothing for Ubuntu [16:02] jrib, OK great! I had forgotten about this solution. Thanks. I'll just use emacs in the terminal now. cheers and thx jrib++ [16:02] ActionParsnip, Ubuntu 12.04.2 LTS \n \l [16:02] jrib++ [16:02] Bennyz_: hmm, if you hit ENTER on Ubuntu the immediately hold SHIFT do you get options? [16:02] ActionParsnip: But now I noticed I get an error before ubuntu starts "can't read /proc/mounts/ File or directory missing" [16:02] azrad: and the output of: lspci | grep -i vga [16:02] How do I rename eth1 to eth0? [16:02] Is it possible it has something to do with it? [16:02] Hi, 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.

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.ini [16:03] hi [16:03] azrad: do you know the nvidia chip by any chance? [16:03] ActionParsnip: thank you! [16:03] so, how do i add widgets on desktop such as cpu monitor, ram monitor etc in unity and where to find them ? [16:03] do i need --metadata=0.9 for a rayd from which ubuntu should boot? [16:03] jil: and if you wanted to only do it for the xemacs window, I think that's possible too but I don't know the syntax offhand [16:03] raid [16:04] or will recent grub's boot from newer metatada raids? [16:04] is there a good reason xserver-xorg-video-displaylink is not in the quantal repo????? [16:04] oliverp: all I did was websearch.... [16:04] is it not needed anymore?? [16:04] ActionParsnip, the card is gtx 660 ti, but I don't think that is what your asking? [16:04] ActionParsnip: sorry :-( [16:05] is there a good reason xserver-xorg-video-displaylink is not in the quantal repo????? [16:05] on 12.10 i can't get seahorse to change the login keyring's password; it gives no error, but changing the password to blank (like I want) doesn't work... if I try to unlock it, it expects the old password still [16:05] azrad: sue, what did you do to cause the issue [16:06] oliverp: its cool, there are lots of guides around. If you try those then use here if you turn up blank :) [16:06] jrib ok [16:07] ActionParsnip, 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 use [16:08] azrad: do you use a switching GPU? [16:08] azrad: if you run: sudo lshw -C display do you see an Intel GPU and an Nvidia GPU?

[16:11] ActionParsnip, cuz i'm retarded :( [16:11] Pici: OerHeks: thank you [16:11] azrad: remove the bumblebee packages and any pckages with nvidia in the name (but not nvidia-common) and reboot [16:11] after all these years, I found out "Ctrl + r" lets you search your command line history [16:11] ActionParsnip, ok thanks i'll try that [16:11] (thanks Hacker News) [16:12] azrad: I suggest you research a little before you start throwing packages like that on your OS [16:12] I used to just press the up arrow [16:12] ActionParsnip, yeah i think that is good advise :( [16:12] ActionParsnip: Do you think the "mount: can't read /proc/mounts: No such file or directory" could be related? [16:13] How do I remove old kernals and clear up some diskspace, so that don't show up when I first boot? [16:14] layke: run: uname -a this is the current kernel [16:14] layke: run: dpkg -l | grep linux-image these are the installed kernels [16:14] should i use conky in ubuntu 12.10 for widgets ? [16:14] layke: 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 name [16:15] idrofox: if you want [16:15] Pici: so i have to speak with the dude that removed it?? it doesnt say how its obsolete [16:15] ActionParsnip, Thanks. Would I use dpkg to remove as well? [16:16] Also, 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] However, now when I start up, I jump straight to shell. [16:16] layke: use apt-get [16:16] It doesn't launch my GUI. I am using kubuntu, if that matters? [16:17] layke: 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 list [16:17] They are all ii === mogitox is now known as mogitaff [16:18] layke: if you get lost; just clear the terminal and rerun the first 2 commands :) [16:18] Yeah, I'm following everythign you said to remove the old kernals. :) [16:18] layke: I recommend keeping the running kernel as well as the one before, just in case [16:19] And 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] layke: no need, the post uninstall removes it from grub for you [16:19] I've definitely nuked the partition that Windows was previously installed on, so I can clear it out. [16:20] Yeah, but I mean, grub (I guess) auto detected a windows bootloader, and inserted it itself? [16:20] But that should be removed, since it's leftover, old and doesn't work? [16:20] ActionParsnip, heheh thanks again, that fixed me right up! [16:20] layke: 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 generated [16:21] azrad: you only need bumblebee if you have a switchable GPU [16:21] Okay. Thanks for that tip. That's how I got in trouble with the /etc/sudoers in the first place! [16:21] azrad: you can now install the nvidia driver as you wish [16:21] ActionParsnip, yeah, i really goofed, thanks for screwed my head back on straight, later guys [16:22] Do 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 it [16:22] Now when I boot, I only get shell, and no GUI [16:22] hello [16:22] please help mouse dpi setting [16:22] I'll just try and reinstall ubuntu-desktop or kde-full [16:23] xorg.conf --> Option "Resolution" "2000" [16:25] layke: dont touch grub.cfg only use the /etc/default/grub and the /etc/grub.d/ files and update-grub2 [16:25] Yeah I wont [16:26] if windows doesen't exist and you want to remove in from the grub list then is update-grub enouch [16:27] Seems 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] WOuld it be safe to r, -rf /dev/sda1 ? [16:27] no [16:28] layke: that won't work [16:28] you want to add the space to your linux partition? [16:28] Nah, I'll just leave it I think. I'm more trying to understand than get space. [16:28] ffk27: its showing up in update-grub as a dual boot when there is no OS present [16:28] I'm sure whatever is in it is negligible. === rajesh is now known as Guest81501 [16:28] It's just annoying me, when I see Windows 7 every time I boot. [16:29] layke just use a user friendly tool like gparted to delete /dev/sda1 [16:29] Thanks [16:31] ... [16:31] Done :) [16:31] No Windows anymore. [16:31] layke: ok, run: sudo update-grub after closing gparted [16:31] Yup. Done that. [16:31] so the ntfs parition was still readable [16:32] layke: all ok [16:32] so, i was having problems the other day with my sound popping and freezing, and i'd thought it was pulseaudio [16:32] Cheers. Yeah. I'm not all to clear on what they are... but it was only 100mb in size. [16:32] i've tried installing lubuntu instead, which doesn't use pulseaudio, and i'm still getting the same problems, so i'm thinking it's actually a problem with alsa [16:32] so, how hard is it to convert from alsa to oss4? [16:33] Going to try and get my GUI working now. [16:33] nagchampa, why do you want to use OSS instead of alsa ? [16:34] nagchampa your sound doesen't work at all? [16:34] or bad quality [16:35] nagchampa, it could be your hardware that causing the noises , aamof that sounds like a connection problem [16:35] i have a couple of dumb questions, why would rsyslog need a database, if its saving the logs to a file? [16:35] :S [16:36] anyone running ubuntu on supermicro servers? Mine seem to freeze during the boot process and if I hard reset it, the second time works [16:37] And that's all done now right? http://pastie.org/private/n9amkdobyicvg4bf3u7iaw [16:37] I'm actually on 12.04 now, but I see "Found Ubuntu 11.10" is still in thr grub.cfg [16:38] Layke, run sudo update-grub [16:38] he just did that === kent is now known as Guest14576 [16:39] Yup. I did that at the top. :) [16:39] ok , should have scrolled up [16:39] Also, http://pastie.org/private/oee0cybnmuzeciusrt2xtw is the list of linux-image [16:39] layke whats your question? [16:41] Layke, what does your grub menu show ? [16:41] hrm, why does software-properties-gtk require alsa-utils? [16:41] that is, when i try to remove alsa-utils it also wants to remove software-properties-gtk [16:42] oh, it depends on ubuntu-drivers-common [16:42] for some reason [16:42] yes dpkg is sometimes weird [16:42] why does software-properties-gtk depend on ubuntu-drivers-common? [16:43] what's in port 443? why is it my chromium browser is working at port 443? isn't browsers are in port 80!? [16:43] coolroot_: https [16:43] BluesKaj, I'll restart in a second again. (I already restarted once, and It still had things which I removed) [16:43] coolroot_: https is 443 [16:43] coolroot_, browsers can use any port you tell them to :P http is traditionally 80 but https is traditionally 443 [16:43] oh i see i forgot it's the secured one my fault thanx :) [16:44] Layke, have you updated/upgraded lately?

[17:28] MHK: Natty went EOL a long time ago.

I have to test the fan. I'm on a freshly installed 12.04 [17:29] ActionParsnip, I just wonder, why dpkg tells me "the package is not configured yet" [17:29] zteam: because it is trying to overwite the english package [17:29] I'm stuck at a "grub rescue>" prompt and can't boot into my system [17:30] I burnt the a rescue key and am trying to boot off that, anyone care to help? [17:30] ActionParsnip, But that packages doesn't even have the same names, right? [17:31] zteam: I know, its a weird one. I'd post on the libreoffice forum, see what they know [17:32] hd1, a quite easy solution is to make a USB-stick and install Boot-Repair and let it do the hard work for you [17:32] !fsck [17:32] fsck is the FileSystem ChecKer, which runs automatically when you boot if you didn't shutdown cleanly. Type "man fsck" for information on running it manually. The command "sudo touch /forcefsck && sudo shutdown -r now" will force a reboot and a filesystem check; "sudo touch /fastboot" will skip a filesystem check at next reboot [17:33] hd1: ^^ [17:33] Hi, I used ubuntu 10-04.4 server-amd.64 iso to install two servers, the first one got installed with the server kernel but the second one has the generic kernel. Why did this happen and how can i force ubuntu to install only the server kernel. thabks [17:34] hd1, another way, should be by trying with sudo update-grub from a liveusb stick [17:34] memememe, could be as simple as the type of cpu and mainboard. Using 10-04 is a bad idea, btw [17:35] memememe, Begin to upgrade to a more recent version of Ubuntu like 12.04, 10.04 is very outdated [17:37] i know its very outdated. unfortunately, the 3rd party software suite i am using suppotrs onlt 10.04 === dbugger is now known as EnriqueMoreno [17:38] is there a way I can tell ubuntu disk to install server kernel instead of generic? [17:38] is you installed from a server cd, then its a server kernel [17:39] not that much different [17:39] memememe: 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 it [17:39] memememe, 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 guess [17:39] yes i am using 10.04 server cd but it install generic kernel. [17:40] memememe: the generic is fine.. you dont need the server kernel on a server machine === LaserShark is now known as ZombieShark [17:43] the problem is that I have a raid controller which ubuntu 10.04 does not support. So I need to load the driver during install and then replace the installed initrd image with the server initrd image I have. If the disk installs generic kernel then I have to make my own initrd image for generic kernel. [17:44] Any advice for an irc noob? [17:44] memememe: then, install the kernel you want.. use the package manager of your choice to install the server kernel, and boot from it.. you canremove the other kernel if you want === Firartix is now known as Fira === peterrus- is now known as peterrus === RiXtEr_ is now known as RiXtEr === styol_ is now known as styol [17:45] !netsplit [17:45] netsplit 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.

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] Afflicto: i would just boot the older kernel and test [17:49] zteam I have made a USB stick [17:49] I just can't boot into the system [17:50] holstein: boot the older kernel? do you mean I do a re-install again without updating? [17:51] hello, is it pointless to install fail2ban if i am using ssh keys to login? [17:52] dd__: pretty much [17:52] Afflicto: 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 hidden [17:52] dd__: Unless you think that the odds are too high [17:52] hd1: did you fsck the drive? did you test the memory? [17:52] holstein: oh that's neat. I'll try. [17:53] * kalenjohnson waves [17:53] CatKiller: figured. i would still want ufw to locked down ports, right? anything else i should have at a bare minimum? === wajiii-afk is now known as wajiii [17:54] dd__: ufw?

My advice would be: Only enable what is required, close the rest. [17:55] holstein: I tapped shift with a 0.5 sec interval from the POST but no grub thing :\ [17:55] dd__: i personally use denyhosts. far easier to set up and coinfigure. [17:55] dd__: 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.

[17:56] hd1, well, good now - open a new Terminal, then type: sudo add-apt-repository ppa:yannubuntu/boot-repair && sudo apt-get update [17:56] dd__: what services besides sshd do you have running? [17:56] mneptok: 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 attempts [17:56] hd1, then sudo apt-get install boot-repair [17:56] mneptok: it's a webserver: nginx, mysql, php at least [17:57] Hello, Ubuntu one is crashing, im on quantal, im missing packages? the inital installation was done from cd (download canceled) and then i upgraded manually, what do i do? [17:57] im having alot of ABRT messages too [17:57] dd__: just make sure mysqld accepts connections only from localhost [17:57] intel atom netbooks are amd64 architecture, right? [17:57] Afflicto: https://help.ubuntu.com/community/Grub2 you can try esc.. dont lose sleep over it.. just try booting the older kernel if doing so is an easy troubleshooting step. if not, start searching "ubuntu 12.10 64bit hardwareID not working" for example.. link a pastebin of lspci here [17:57] mneptok: ok, should nginx be running as its own user? [17:58] Pitel: afaik, I think atoms are all 64bit cpus [17:58] "Sorry, Ubuntu has experienced an internal error" and "System problem detected" [17:58] Pitel: That is x86_64 [17:58] zteam: you're not following here, I'm staring at a 'grub rescue>' prompt [17:58] dd__: in the best case, yes. don't run anything as root unless you *have* to [17:58] Atoms are not x64, not all of them [17:58] CatKiller: kthx [17:58] Pitel: Might be wrong though as it was pointed above [17:58] dd__: and if apps have own user, they must use their own user [17:58] dd__: and disable any PHP functions you don't need. especially register_globals [17:58] mneptok: so would all my web files need to be in the nginx group? [17:59] holstein: ok I'll check that. I'm gonna brb about 15 min though. thanks! [17:59] dd__: make them world-readable and that should be fine [17:59] hd1, well you said you have a usb-stick with Ubuntu on it, right? [17:59] guys [17:59] anyone up to help me? [17:59] hd1, then boot from it, then follow what I writed above [17:59] mneptok: cool. for upload folders it would need to be writable for the nginx group though, right? === mimor_ is now known as mimor [18:01] dd__: correct.

What do you mean [21:36] any ideas about how to get my computer to run faster? i have a 1.67ghz cpu ion gpu 310m nvidia - 2gbs of ram - and stanard 2.0 usb - oh and an ssd pyro - i have ubuntu running - i was looking for tweaks and ideas anyone might like to share [21:36] Fanfy: what does ifconfig say? [21:36] Joupi Fair enough [21:36] Uhm...how do I show you it's alot... [21:36] What is the correct way to add a kernel option to grub?

[21:37] I use screencloud [21:37] anyone know how to make a remote host detach from screen/byobu? [21:37] uploads after button press [21:37] and puts url in clipboard [21:37] I'm helping someone who's helping someone who has just installed ubuntu. [21:37] They need to add pci=nomsi [21:38] I know back in the day it was /etc/grub.cfg or something [21:38] Anybody runs xubuntu here? [21:38] hiptobecubic: I'd say do a testrun first [21:38] tamaros: ^a ^d ?? [21:38] Peyam: im sure some do :) [21:38] belgianguy, they did. it froze [21:38] is this working? [21:38] some research shows it's a known problem [21:38] alt+space doesnt work in chrome (with xubuntu) [21:38] okay so this is it http://paste.ubuntu.com/5594347/ [21:38] hiptobecubic: yeah, but editing the file makes it permanent [21:38] anyone knows how to fix it [21:39] IIRC you can alter some var when grub loads, and then on reboot it'll reset [21:39] belgianguy, well presumably they want it to not freeze each time they use it from now on. [21:39] Joupi is hd1,msdos1 = second harddrive first slice? [21:39] ergo, a safety [21:39] is there anyway to make apt get use another version of perl? [21:39] It's weird cause it wasn't doing it before when I first had ubuntu I just recently redownloaded it [21:39] hiptobecubic: edit /etc/default/grub the update-grub [21:39] dsprc: I'm connected to my desktop remotely, the desktop has a terminal connected also which is screwing up my resolution and I want to kick it off. ^a ^d would just disconnect my session on the laptop [21:39] jhutchins_wk, thank you [21:39] my system perl 5.14 is broke complains about strict.pm not found [21:40] dsprc is second harddrive first slice labeled 'hd1,msdos1 [21:40] Fanfy: can you ping www.google.com [21:40] tamaros: Ok. Are you asking how to do that? [21:40] Ping? [21:40] huh? [21:40] jhutchins_wk: yes [21:41] "ping www.google.com" [21:41] without "" [21:41] tamaros: disconnect, then screen -d -x [21:41] panorain: youre gonna have to get someone else to troubleshoot with you. all lilo on this end. [21:41] uhm no. [21:41] Maybe this error code would help? [21:41] belgianguy: Actually the quotes are ok. [21:42] dsprc alright thank you [21:42] jhutchins_wk: but not needed [21:42] How does one interrupt grub to allow modifying the options ? === rajesh is now known as Guest4049 [21:42] I get this for a web page instead sometimes like if I enter www.google.com I get this http://paste.ubuntu.com/5594360/ [21:42] hey guys [21:42] hiptobecubic: shift [21:42] * hiptobecubic doesn't have an ubuntu machine to look at [21:42] panorain: my only experience with grub is removing the damned thing :) [21:42] is there a way to see when a file has been accessed the last time ? [21:43] Fanfy: I had something similar, ubuntu still "saw" my network interfaces [21:43] k1l_, just shift? Nothing else? [21:43] but they didn't work anymore [21:43] dsprc fair enough [21:43] hiptobecubic: yep [21:43] actually I have a folder with a lot of files, and I want to delete all that haven't been used for a month [21:43] It works once in a while but it gets really annoying when it doesn't... [21:43] k1l_, [21:43] k1l_, sorry. Yes ok :) [21:43] like right now I can be on facebook, but not google. Or go on gaiaonline and not google. Or some other website it varies sometimes facebook dies. [21:44] GeO: find . -type f -atime 28 [21:44] Fanfy: that's not normal, I'd say get some wireshark data [21:44] hiptobecubic: Pretty much any key should halt it, esc or tab [21:44] but that's maybe a bridge too far [21:44] It does it with wireless internet and through an ethernet cord [21:44] thanks :) [21:44] whats wireshark? [21:44] is ppa down? [21:45] Fanfy: wireshark is a network traffic analyzing tool [21:45] domo1: depends on the ppa. and that is better to ask the ppa maintainer [21:45] Fanfy, it is a program for inspecting network traffic packet [21:45] traffic and individual packets* [21:45] Fanfy: You've picked up some bad java somewhere. [21:46] Soo what will it do? I mean I don't get why I should use it o.o'' is it a program or what [21:46] How do I get rid of this 'java' o.o [21:46] bekks and to remove the result of the command, I must use a pipe right ? Like find . -type f -atime 28 | rm [21:46] tamaros: ^a a d [21:46] Fanfy: You're running chrome, right? [21:46] And I just used the ubuntu os disk my friend used the last time he put ubuntu on my computer. It didn't do this before... [21:47] No firefox I downloaded the chrome one to see if it did the same and it does.. [21:47] GeO: find . -type f -atime 28 -exec echo "will execute rm on {}" \; [21:47] Fanfy: they may both use a plugin that's bad [21:48] Well I don't get it though it didn't do this the last time I had ubuntu. Although it did do some weird stuff when I was on the internet...like redirecting me to a random add site or something.... === waffles is now known as Guest68493 [21:48] And it's the same disk I used last time [21:48] Fanfy: I'd try uninstalling any java packages you have, possibly remove /usr/lib/firefox/omni.ja (Can't be sure that won't break something. [21:48] Fanfy: Is this a live CD? [21:48] It's the file from online that you get.. [21:48] A live CD? what's that? [21:49] Fanfy: try to keep it to sudo apt purge and remove as most as possible [21:49] freestyling with rm can break things [21:49] So I do sudo apt purge? o.o that doesn't sound pleasant you know sounds like it's gonna kill my poor computer lol [21:49] Fanfy: only execute commands you know what they'll do [21:50] Fanfy: maybe your router is mis/maliciously configured and sending your requests to a bogus dns server [21:50] where'd the Java bit come from? [21:50] I missed that [21:50] .__. okay so purge is out as so is every other command cause i have no idea how to use ubuntu yet I'm sadly stuck with it... [21:50] hi [21:50] how the hell i resize a window that is extremely large (high) ? [21:50] And I don't think it's my router. It's brand new a week old, works fine with the xbox 360 and my aunts phone and tv...it's just my laptop that has issues [21:51] i can't even see its top to right click and then resize [21:51] satonio: myabe try to shove it down with holding alt-key and use the mouse [21:51] it worked, ty [21:52] I'm thinking it's Ubuntu...really since the day I got it's been against me...o.o'' [21:52] GeO: you may want +28 instead of exactly 28 [21:52] ahhhh [21:52] I knew there was something wrong there [21:52] So is there like no way to fix this? Cause I have no idea how to do anything x.x [21:52] thanks [21:52] satonio: you can also use alt+spacebar (assuming the feature is still used in unity) and itll pop up a menu as well [21:53] can you explain how the "rm" command is achieved with this : find . -type f -atime 28 -exec echo "will execute rm on {}" \; [21:53] belgianguy: Look at the path to the xml file it's complaining about. [21:53] because I order an echo but not really a remove... [21:53] Fanfy: install windows [21:54] serp: trying trying so hard lol I wish I had a valid windows os [21:54] Fanfy: could you link your last error again [21:54] it came with the laptop [21:54] ah [21:54] uhm what command was it the web page one or the ifconfig thing [21:54] it's actually find . -type f -atime 28 -exec rm {} [21:55] belgianguy: http://paste.ubuntu.com/5594347/ [21:55] am I right ? [21:55] (+28) [21:55] Fanfy: that's your network interfaces [21:55] Not with mine...I didn't get any disk with my laptop [21:55] GeO: You might want to look at the find man page and use the delete option instead of calling RM. [21:55] belgianguy: no wait! wrong one [21:55] network interfaces? I'm getting so confused [21:55] http://paste.ubuntu.com/5594360/ this one? [21:55] your localhost, ethernet (wired) eth0, wireless (wlan) [21:55] oooh [21:56] ah cool, find . -type f -atime +28 -remove [21:56] right ? [21:57] Fanfy: I'd say remove firefox [21:57] i killed a process with ctrl+z the port that was binded to it hasnt been made free, any way to get the port back without restart? [21:57] sudo apt-get remove --purge firefox [21:57] and then sudo apt-get install firefox [21:57] but chrome does it too [21:57] http://paste.ubuntu.com/5594409/ [21:57] that the one you wanted? [21:57] How does one reenable sshd at boot? [21:58] is it possible to run skyrim through wine? [21:58] GeO: there's no such thing as "-remove". You should echo the results like bekks suggested to check you are deleting only what you want to [21:58] delete* [21:58] Fanfy: no, those are your network interfaces, they seem fine [21:58] aaa801: ctrl+z is not "kill" [21:58] !appdb | SecretFire [21:58] SecretFire: The Wine Application DB is a database of applications and help for !Windows programs that run under !WINE: http://appdb.winehq.org - Join #winehq for application help [21:58] hiptobecubic: install ssh server. its running on boot [21:59] gah, whats it do =/ [21:59] aaa801: stop [21:59] ctrl+c is kill [21:59] ctrl+c was non responsive [21:59] hiptobecubic: http://www.debuntu.org/how-to-managing-services-with-update-rc-d/ [21:59] k1l_, ... sudo apt-get install sshd? [21:59] So what do you want I dunno what to send you [21:59] sudo lsof -t -i:port to the rescue :) [21:59] aaa801: then you can kill it with "kill" [21:59] !ssh | hiptobecubic [21:59] hiptobecubic: SSH is the Secure SHell protocol, see: https://help.ubuntu.com/community/SSH for client usage. PuTTY is an SSH client for Windows; see: http://www.chiark.greenend.org.uk/~sgtatham/putty/ for it's homepage. See also !scp (Secure CoPy) and !sshd (Secure SHell Daemon) [21:59] Fanfy: could you do "which java"? [22:00] hiptobecubic, belgianguy: you shouldn't use update-rc.d to manage ssh since it's an upstart script [22:00] !sshd | hiptobecubic [22:00] hiptobecubic: SSH is the Secure SHell protocol, sshd is the server (or daemon) of SSH.

Related: !scp (Secure CoPy) [22:00] i typed in which java and got nothing [22:00] in the terminal right [22:01] Fanfy: yeah [22:01] Ben64, slight issue it wont die http://i.imgur.com/7rrNiCl.png [22:01] aaa801: what's the process [22:01] hiptobecubic: if you already installed it and it was disabled do 'sudo update-rc.d ssh defaults' [22:01] java [22:01] well i did 'java' and got this http://paste.ubuntu.com/5594419/ === Karbowiak is now known as zz_Karbowiak [22:02] dsprc: you shouldn't use update-rc.d to manage ssh since it's an upstart script [22:02] Fanfy, http://www.webupd8.org/2012/01/install-oracle-java-jdk-7-in-ubuntu-via.html [22:03] So I should download that? [22:03] its a ppa entry [22:03] just follow the guide to get java up [22:03] aaa801: try "kill -9 8806" [22:04] that worked thanks ben [22:04] uhm...x.x [22:04] Fanfy, ? [22:05] i'm so confused... [22:05] that guide cannot be simplier [22:05] whats soo hard about it [22:05] jrib: then what is the "ubuntu way" of managing it with upstart now? [22:06] you'd be surprised...i suck with linux [22:06] well lets see if it works o.o it's taking forever i'll prolly get 'problem loading page' [22:06] oh and there it is! -.- [22:06] dsprc: well in this case my guess is hiptobecubic never installed openssh-server. For docs on upstart, see http://upstart.ubuntu.com/cookbook . You need to actually edit files; there's no convenience script or directory structure like with sys-v-init [22:06] i'ma kill my laptop... [22:07] it gives you the commands, you can c&p em [22:07] :P === tjbiddle_ is now known as tjbiddle [22:08] okay here we go.. [22:09] well that sucks.. [22:10] awesome system program detected error....-.- lovely i love you too computer.. [22:10] Fanfy: If you are confused about using the system and have a problem that takes more than 2 hours to solve and you don't want to spend the time sorting it out, reinstall all is sometimes easier. Learning will come in time... [22:11] ...i really don't want to wipe my hard drive clean and reinstall ubuntu... [22:12] You don't need to wipe out home, just / but that depends on all you have installed on top of the base system === matzipan is now known as DinCahil [22:13] I just did updates... [22:13] that's all i really installed besides kvirc or whatever this is [22:13] I had 514 updates when I finished downloading the OS [22:13] Typical [22:14] 2 hours, that's what it takes with updates if you have reasonable net connection === DinCahil is now known as matzipan [22:15] Guys i installed ubuntu with wubi and now i want to increased the system disk space are those scripts fairly painless or could the f*** everything up? [22:15] msev: dont use wubi === Raydiation1 is now known as Raydiation [22:16] wubi is a hack to demo ubuntu [22:16] Hi [22:16] Well now whats done is done i don't want to reinstall everything [22:16] msev, go back in time and install it as dual boot, of course [22:16] I have a new Lenovo B570e laptop and need help regarding UEFI [22:17] I can't find anything that indicates it is using UEFI or not, nothing in the BIOS Setup menu [22:17] msev: https://help.ubuntu.com/community/ResizeandDuplicateWubiDisk [22:17] I seriously don't want to wait 2 hours either... [22:17] So I have installed Windows 7 [22:17] and I checked the hard disk, it says it is an MBR disk [22:18] So this indicates that my Win7 is not booting in UEFI, right? [22:18] Gyhy: Why do you think UEFI is involved? [22:18] I read online that this model is using UEFI [22:18] Gyhy: UEFI replaces the BIOS, so if you have a BIOS menu... [22:18] Bcb2 yea i was lookin at that..is it reliable? [22:18] It is in fact a Setup menu :) [22:19] I'm afraid that if I install Ubuntu as usual I might break my current Windows 7 installation! [22:20] msev: Any time you mess with partitions there's a chance of data loss. Especially if humans are involved. Make backups. [22:20] The disk on which Windows7 is installed is an MBR, does that indicate GRUB will boot normally? [22:20] Gyhy: Yes. [22:20] Gyhy: No. [22:20] bekks: ? [22:20] haha [22:20] Yes or No??! [22:20] The disk label type does not indicate anything about grub. [22:20] well the java thing may have worked....maybe not sure yet [22:20] msev: it creates a new copy - so you can test it fully without risk to the original [22:21] what time i don't time this [22:21] nope nevermind... [22:21] !tab | msev [22:21] msev: You can use your key for autocompletion of nicknames in IRC, as well as for completion of filenames and programs on the command line. [22:21] bekks: 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] jhutchins_wk: I do know what a MBR is pretty well. [22:22] Usually Grub loads instead of MBR. MBR loads then it sort of ignores anything but Windows, doesn't it? [22:22] jhutchins_wk: And the existance of an MBR does not indicate anything about grub [22:22] *if MBR loads [22:22] kalenjohnson: No. Grub is loaded from the MBR, in a perfect setup. [22:22] kalenjohnson: mbr is not the windows loader [22:22] my bad [22:22] The 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] I'm typing from the phone..otherwise i know the tab trick :)..Do some of u guys use cinamon or are u hardcore unity fans? [22:23] Does booting from an MBR indicates that the PC can boot in BIOS/Legacy mode? [22:23] jhutchins_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] msev: for cinnamon support see the mint support. for chat about what is best or what people use see #ubuntu-discuss or #ubuntu-offtopic [22:23] Gyhy: Yes. It means it probably can't boot in any other mode. [22:24] bekks: Except this is the standard, normal configuration that grub works under. [22:24] bekks: You are very confused. [22:24] bekks: This question is whether UEFI is involved, and with this setup it clearly is not. [22:24] msev: it's more so my nick is highlighted and I don't miss your message [22:24] Can I say now that my PC does NOT use UEFI, then? [22:24] jhutchins_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] Gyhy: Yes. [22:25] Hi! 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] but 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_mode [22:25] Gyhy: 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] I tried the ncurses beep function to no avail [22:26] I can hear a beep when I do echo -ne "\007" > /dev/tty1 on the command line [22:26] onto: un-blacklist the beep [22:27] So do you suggest installing the Ubuntu x32 version as I used to do on my previous PCs?? [22:27] Gyhy, what is your laptop? [22:27] Gyhy: if your hardware can go with 64bit, go with 64bit [22:27] onto, check libcanberra [22:27] Lenovo B570e , Core i3, 4G RAM [22:27] Gyhy: go with 64bit [22:28] I agree with k1l_, mineaswell go with 64-bit [22:28] I tried to boot 12.04 x64 from CD but I get Kernel Panic!! [22:29] Gyhy: try the 12.04.2 iso [22:29] First I got the message "Error: 'prefix' is not set" [22:29] Gyhy: and if its not booting try: [22:29] !nomodeset | Gyhy [22:29] Gyhy: 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 [22:29] OK, I'll go download 12.04.2 and try again.. [22:35] 3 hours, 11 minutes remaining! [22:36] If i gksudo some app it has the ability to save files on "host drive" (wubi)...is it possible to make that a global setting? [22:36] what up kids!! gots a question, why when i'm on the internet my cou jumps so crazily?? [22:36] cpu* [22:37] just internet tho [22:37] msev: you should have access to the /host without requiring sudo [22:37] msev: what do you mean? [22:38] what do you want to do [22:38] i wonder if there is a way to settle it down, it gets so laggy [22:38] When my laptop boots older ubuntu livecds normally, does that prove it supports booting in legacy mode? [22:39] Gyhy: No. It proves that it supports booting a CD. [22:39] It does not allow me to copy things to host [22:39] msev: what is host [22:39] / ? [22:40] msev: works fine on mine [22:40] Hi! How do I make a beep from a c++ program? I tried ncurses beep(), std::cout << '\a' and none of them work. However, when I do echo -ne "\007" > /dev/tty1 on the terminal, it produces a beep :\ [22:40] onto: [22:40] #c++ [22:40] By host i mean windows disk [22:41] msev: where is your windows disk mounted [22:41] msev: wubi is very difficult to support. most helpers recommend to go for a real native installation [22:41] What do you mean by that? [22:41] msev: type in: mount [22:41] Why cant I download the kernel package for lucid using apt-get source? [22:42] *Wave* I've run across an interesting issue with a raid 1 setup on a file server I'm working, where there must have encrypted portions of an old install that I didn't realize were there until now. I've ended up with this mess: http://paste.ubuntu.com/5594496/ any way out without wiping / starting over? [22:43] Raydiation: this seems to be an os-specific issue [22:43] Raydiation: can't atm i'm not at my computer [22:44] what is the deal? [22:44] msev: you generally dont want to copy stuff where you cant copy it, id recommend to install ubuntu normally though [22:47] Ubuntu: What is the deal with the kernel? === daniel is now known as Guest83570 [22:48] hello all === tjbiddle_ is now known as tjbiddle [22:48] !patience | one [22:48] 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/ [22:50] suppose you are building a virtual machine with a pre-configured ubuntu system to give people to try your software. is file system encryption coupled with disabling single user mode and grub sufficient to protect from unauthorized access to files? in other words, if it where a physical hardware, how to protect files access even if someone could mount the drive into another machine? [22:51] agilevic: encrypt everything and lock the door well [22:51] Raydiation: I want to leave the door open ;) === Uncle|Sam is now known as uncle|sam [22:52] Hello, I just uninstalled a program witch I compiled by myself. now i want to use the package version but i always get "no such file or dir" when i try to use the command [22:52] agilevic: if they have physical access nothing is safe, imo [23:00] julian-delphiki: one would need to be able to to reset the root's password then boot into the system and su - to the protected user. how could you reset the root's password (other than guessing it) if the file system is encrypted? [23:01] brute force :) [23:01] or, depends on how you're encrypting the FS [23:01] agilevic: you could do some form of homomorphic crypto but then you would need bruce schneier, not a live cd :) [23:02] julian-delphiki, dsprc: if brute force is the only way then I am OK with the solution [23:03] julian-delphiki: what file system encryption methods are out there? [23:05] Where i can find xscreensaver support? [23:06] when your booted into a persistent live usb, how do you save files to be persistent? [23:06] Forgone: you can't [23:06] ?? [23:06] officially you can't but there's hack [23:06] but idk about dat hack [23:06] well then what's the pint of making it persistent? [23:07] wtf [23:07] agilevic: im guessing you could create a tiny plaintext partition where shadow 'et al live and just symlink to them. bit hackish though. [23:07] point* [23:07] Forgone: lol, you don't have a hdd?

[23:17] I'll stick to English :) [23:18] there is someone give me a warning [23:19] dsprc: hmm, I don't follow. ideally I want to be able to give a certain user some admin rights (such as edit nginx config files in /etc, reboot, run certain scripts from /etc/init.d), which can generally be accomplished with correct sudo configuration. also, I don't want that user to read certain files, which again can be accomplished with chmod. unfortunately all of this can be circumvented if a superuser password is reset, which [23:19] dsprc: on another machine. hence my question about encryption.

I have been trying to get deluge running, and after spending all day talking with Cas, he has pointed me here. I have tried reinstalling all the python packages that are available on my system but I am constantly getting this issue: http://pastebin.com/kxqihf96 If I try to purge: http://pastebin.com/4U2R6XQC If I just open a console [cont] [23:20] NO! Rules make this world better [23:21] window in python, I get the following message: http://pastebin.com/tAQHpkjs [23:21] dsprc: full drive encryption is not an option becasue the system must stand up on its own (and giving away a passphrase defeats its purpose anyway) [23:21] I have tried doing purges, cleans, reinstall's, etc. I am unable to fix this with what I know. [23:22] greetz [23:29] I 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? [23:32] Looks like this is a room full of zombies...:) [23:35] Good 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. [23:36] RB2: use apt-pinning [23:36] RB2: why? [23:36] k1l_, thanks. === ev0lve is now known as ev0lve_ [23:36] RB2: just use apt-get upgrade insteadf of apt-get dist-upgrade and you will not get a newer kernel [23:36] iceroot, I have some strange issues with the binary nvidia driver, so I need to do those manually. [23:36] RB2: but that is a security risc, because new updates are fixing security issues [23:36] Can you install drivers for graphics cards without the graphic card in the computer? [23:37] Nanaharu: sure [23:37] has anyone done any ubuntu touch development here? [23:37] Nanaharu: you can install every package, doesnt matter if you have the hardware or not [23:38] gaara_akash: #ubuntu-devel [23:38] iceroot, if it updates the kernel automatically, it takes much longer for me to fix it again than to just do it manually. ;) [23:38] Iceroot : 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] Nanaharu: normally yes [23:38] iceroot : well I've tried everything else... [23:38] iceroot, thanks [23:38] Nanaharu: but maybe the initial system will not work anymore because maybe the driver is doing changes in /etc/X11/xorg.conf [23:39] iceroot : is there anyway to fix that? [23:39] Where should I put scripts so that I can use them with sudo? [23:39] JokesOnYou77: you can put them everywhere, sudo will always work with them [23:40] Nanaharu: redo the changes in xorg.conf if there are changes [23:40] undo [23:40] iceroot, 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. [23:41] JokesOnYou77: /usr/local/bin for example [23:41] iceroot : awesome I shall keep that in mind... by chance could you tell me how to install NVIDIA GTX drivers? [23:41] iceroot, ty [23:41] JokesOnYou77: echo $PATH wil show the paths [23:41] !nvidia | Nanaharu [23:41] Nanaharu: For Ati/NVidia/Matrox video cards, see https://help.ubuntu.com/community/VideoDriverHowto [23:41] iceroot : thanks so much~! [23:42] iceroot, 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 path [23:43] iceroot, figured it out. Thank you [23:43] JokesOnYou77: sudo -i; echo $PATH [23:43] JokesOnYou77: that is the PATH defined for root [23:44] JokesOnYou77: but /usr/local/bin is fine in that case [23:44] iceroot, ty === ice is now known as Guest69256 [23:52] I am installing that supports gcc 4.3 while my gcc version is 4.6.
