[00:00] * OPnhf5 slaps selena2013 around a bit with a large trout [00:01] Hello. I would like to rename my network interface from p3p1 to eth0, but I am unable to find a way to do such. [00:01] can anyone help me find out why ubuntu cannot see my windows partition? [00:01] Sneglen: DUDE [00:01] the /etc/udev/rules.d/70-persistent-net.rules file only contains the wlan0 [00:01] Sneglen: Smut ind i /etc/network/interfaces ;) [00:01] I was installing Ubuntu (desktop version) and i got this error: "unable to install Grub in /dev/sda" so i clicked okay and now it is saying "boot loader installer failed" Can anyone please help me? Been trying to figure this out for hours. Thanks in advance! [00:01] Hm [00:02] whats the command for showing your drives and partitions? [00:02] Why do you need to reassign an interface id? [00:03] I was installing Ubuntu (desktop version) and i got this error: "unable to install Grub in /dev/sda" so i clicked okay and now it is saying "boot loader installer failed" Can anyone please help me?

[00:05] Your master boot record is hosed, Op. You'll have to reinstall. [00:05] From scratch. :) [00:05] which image ? [00:05] make sure you installing right ISO [00:05] sam113101: Any ideas? [00:05] reinstall what ? [00:05] Sneglen: Jeg er lidt rusten. Har du network manager installeret? [00:05] and thank you for answering [00:05] Your operating system. [00:06] I have tried that already Ghost and i got the same error. [00:06] :( [00:06] maveas: ja, det har jeg. har brugt sidste MinimalCD af ubuntu og valgt XFCE. [00:06] You went into drive partition and deleted the partition table? [00:06] <_cronus_> curtism, any chance you have some sort of raid option in your bios? [00:07] No i just did the install along Windows 7. [00:07] _cronus_: Ooooooh yeah this laptop came with W7 with some sort of RAID setup [00:07] Oh. Well get rid of Windows and you'll be fine. Just install linux. :P [00:08] can anyone help me find out why ubuntu cannot see my windows partition? [00:08] No i'm trying to dual boot operating sytems because i have many programs on Windows. [00:08] D: [00:08] Sneglen: Der stod ikke p3p1 i interfaces ? [00:08] If the live cd won't install grub, you cannot proceed with dual boot options. Sorry. [00:09] Sneglen: Hvis ikke, så mener jeg den må stå i /etc/NetworkManager/enelleranden.conf [00:09] maveas: Jo, men kun i .bak-0 filen. [00:09] Is there a specific reason why i cannot install the live cd though? It seems to work for everyone else... [00:09] <_cronus_> curtism, there is a command that removes the raid header from the disk, i think it is dmsetup clear /dev/sdx, but i am not sure [00:09] You could search google for a risky solution and hose your machine though. [00:09] Sneglen: Er det kun lo der er tilbage i interfaces? [00:10] _cronus_: Well I'm trying not to mess with that, I'm trying to dual boot [00:10] <_cronus_> curtism, there should be a boot option as well to disable dmraid [00:10] hey guys im having some trouble here [00:10] What does hosing a machine do [00:10] i registered for the ubuntu software center [00:10] ? [00:10] * OPnhf5 slaps BroBert around a bit with a large trout [00:10] and clicked the link to confirm my email [00:10] * OPnhf5 slaps BroBert around a bit with a large trout [00:10] <_cronus_> curtism, nodmraid most likely [00:10] but i closed the thing where your supposed to put a key around [00:11] err enter the key [00:11] maveas: Ja. Der er loopback interface, og primary network interface. primary network interface er udkommenteret med #NetworkManager#auto p3p1 og en anden linje der ligner. [00:11] anyway, now i cant log in or confirm my account or anything [00:11] what do i do? [00:11] _cronus_: I'll try that [00:11] Kan du så ikke bare slette p3p1 fra NetworkManagers conf og opret den i interfaces+ Du kan vel også omdøbe den i NetworkManager [00:11] OPnhf5, it means if you try to force it to install, you'll probably lose access to your windows environment. [00:11] It means stop now before you do something stupid. [00:12] Thank you. [00:12] Sneglen: ^ [00:12] * OPnhf5 slaps GhostLogic around a bit with a large trout [00:12] Sneglen: Og /etc/networkmanager/system-connections/ [00:12] lolz [00:12] * OPnhf5 slaps OPnhf5 around a bit with a large trout [00:12] * OPnhf5 slaps OPnhf5 around a bit with a large trout [00:12] maveas: NetworkManager.conf i /etc/NetworkManager refererer ingen interfaces..

[00:12] * OPnhf5 slaps OPnhf5 around a bit with a large trout [00:13] Sneglen: Så ligger den muligvis i din hjemmemappe :) [00:13] maveas: system-connections indeholder hellere ingen referencer til interfaces. [00:14] _cronus_: That changed nothing :\ [00:14] curtism: I queried you if you haven't seen [00:14] Sneglen: Men det kan godt være du ikke skal ændre det. [00:15] Well that's annoying... [00:15] wat? [00:15] maveas: Nu må vi se hvor galt det kan gå.. :p [00:15] maveas: Jeg skal ændre det for at jeg kan aktivere MatLab. [00:16] Goal: I want to mount some encfs volumes at startup and then be able to manage them with Cryptkeeper. Problem: (a) if I mount using encfs command, Cryptkeeper doesn't recognize them, even if the volume info is identical to info in the GUI's favories. (b) I don't know if/how I can write a script to tell Cryptkeeper to do something rather than "encfs". [00:16] i love IRC [00:17] somebody gone help me? [00:17] Sneglen: Du skal nok kigge på udev i stedet [00:17] !english [00:17] The #ubuntu, #kubuntu and #xubuntu channels are English only.

We are not talking about you anyways [00:18] MonkeyDust: It's danish. Go translate.google.com if you worry.. lol [00:18] maveas: Problemet er beskrevet her: http://www.mathworks.se/support/solutions/en/data/1-661QJD/index.html?solution=1-661QJD Men i udev-filen er der ingen p3p1 referencer, kun til wlan0 [00:18] Sneglen: jeg har p3p1 jeg og [00:18] wir mussen die juden ausrotten de norde amerika [00:18] this forum is for any language, not just engñish [00:18] skjønner ikke hvorfor [00:19] _cronus_: So... I really don't know what the RAID setup is like on this [00:19] jose106: engñish? [00:19] spanglish? [00:19] Aphasia, lol [00:19] BroBert: Stay ontopic [00:19] wrong keyboard [00:19] im trying to get help [00:19] does anyone speak kernel dmesg here? [00:19] Sneglen: Weird [00:20] maveas: Bestemt! [00:20] Aphasia: hvordan ser din /etc/udev/rules.d/70-persistent-net.rules ud? [00:21] <_cronus_> curtism, are you currently using raid? [00:21] Sneglen: Kan du ikke bare bruge min og tilpasse den?

I'm not sure how to check RAID configuration on w7 [00:21] does ubuntu run on chomebook pixel [00:22] root# sudo rm -rf somethingimportanthere [00:22] MonkeyDust: I'm there already.. [00:22] is it root@ or root# === Karbowiak is now known as zz_Karbowiak === alpha is now known as alphabeta [00:23] maveas the purpose of the channel is, that everyone can learn from each other === alphabeta is now known as alphabeta8 [00:23] _cronus_: It came with an 8GB partition on the SSD that seems to be part of a RAID configuration, but I don't know how to check the config in windows [00:24] can anyone explain to me how to revoke my public gpg key? I only get errors [00:24] someone help me [00:24] <_cronus_> curtism, i don't know either [00:24] !details [00:25] 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 ..." [00:25] MonkeyDust: Okey.. We are unsure why Sneglen's interface is named p3p1 and not eth0. The interface MUST be named ethX because of MatLab [00:25] <_cronus_> curtism, maybe someone here could tell [00:25] BroBert: can you try confirming it again? [00:25] sure [00:26] maveas MonkeyDust: I am currently manually adding a line to /etc/udev/rules.d/70-persistent-net.rules for eth0 as it only has wlan0. http://www.mathworks.se/support/solutions/en/data/1-661QJD/index.html?solution=1-661QJD [00:26] There's no page with this address in the Ubuntu Single Sign On service.

[00:29] _cronus_: Can you give me an idea of how the RAID stuff would be affecting the installer? [00:29] WindowsME is basically dead.. so its sort of a silly question. ;) [00:30] Not really a ubuntu support question either. [00:30] so, the internet is giving me really conflicting answers on how big to make a swap partition, everything from "you don't need one" to "twice your ram". twice my ram seems really excessive though. can someone give me a more definitive answer? :\ [00:30] Korejora: Once your RAM plus 100M. [00:30] Korejora: if you are using suspend/hibernate you want it to be ram + a little more [00:31] maveas: Rebooting now to see how it fares. Doubt it though :p [00:31] Korejora twice your ram, if you intend to hibernate/suspend a lot [00:31] use a swap file instead [00:31] Korejora: years ago when 1gb of ram was a lot.. twice ram was common [00:31] I've never used suspend/hibernate in the history of my computer [00:31] Korejora: then you dont need that much. [00:31] maveas: Hm. ifconfig reports eth0 now [00:31] I have 16gb ram but my HD is only like 240gb so 16-32gb would be a significant chunk of that :( [00:31] maveas: I'll attempt to install MatLab again then :) [00:32] it put on a 2gb swap then and leave it at that. [00:32] Sneglen: Wuhuu [00:32] maveas: Tak for hjælp :) [00:32] Korejora, twice the amount of ram for <= 4gb, equal+1 for > 4gb? [00:32] maveas: Nu må vi se om det virker. [00:32] my swap is on a seperate normal sata drive. not a sdd one. [00:33] oh, can you put your swap on a seperate drive? [00:33] separate* [00:33] Korejora: Sure. [00:33] Sneglen: Hjælp og hjælp. I was randomly guessing :P [00:33] hey [00:33] now wtf [00:33] u guys are sposed to help according to the canonical site [00:33] BroBert: And you are supposed to watch your language please. [00:33] i registered my sso account [00:34] BroBert we do, if we know the answer [00:34] verified the email [00:34] BroBert: never had to sign up for software before, sounds like that doesn't respect your freedoms [00:34] but i closed the verify code window in the ubuntu software center b4 i could enter it [00:34] now i cant log in, verify, or reset my password [00:34] what do i do? [00:34] lb27, its the single sign on account, i registered for it to review an app in the software center [00:34] I installed Dancer-IRCD and am having an issue with my self getting OP [00:34] BroBert: Contact Canonical [00:35] i dnt know how [00:35] i hit the support thing [00:35] andit said someone would contact me shortly? [00:35] how the fuck is that possible? [00:35] i didnt give an email or anything? [00:35] BroBert: By email. [00:35] how? i didnt give one? [00:35] BroBert: How did you register then? [00:35] with my email? [00:35] but im not logged in? [00:35] so what are they reading my cookies? [00:35] BroBert: Session ;) [00:36] im in ubuntu yes [00:36] so how are they gonna contact me then? [00:36] BroBert: Session ID in cookie send to the server which keps session state (including mail? ;) [00:36] because i did this yesterday and have no response yet [00:36] BroBert, can you re-register? [00:36] maveas, but i dnt have my email set up on the computer [00:36] BroBert: We do not have anything to do with SSO [00:36] franl, no it wont let me [00:36] it says my emails taken [00:37] BroBert: You send your email ... do you really expect they dont know it, after receiving it? [00:37] BroBert: Oh, didn't you fill out form at a website or did I miss something? [00:37] on several different drives if you wanted [00:37] no u dnt understand [00:37] i filled it out in software cetner [00:37] so as for the actual ubuntu install, does it need more than ~10gb? mine has never gone over ~7-8, but I don't really want to reallocate the partition after installing, because that's a huge pain [00:37] then i went to the site where you log in [00:37] <_cronus_> curtism, basically the problem is that although fdisk and gparted does not understand the presence of softraid, the installer and the disk utility do [00:37] after clicking the verify link in my email [00:37] BroBert: Then you submitted the form. You email address was submitted. [00:37] then i tried to log in and it wouldnt let me [00:38] and low and behold i realizes i closed the verify window [00:38] bekks, what part of i wasnt logged in when I hit the support button? [00:38] BroBert, have you tried to login on another ubuntu website with that account, e.g. ubuntu one? [00:38] is so hard to understand? [00:38] kostkon, yesit saysi t cannot authenticate [00:38] BroBert, ok :/ [00:38] BroBert: Well.. these channel on IRC are often refered to as community help which means that we don't have access to canonicals infrastructure so we really can't help you with their SSO service [00:38] so what do i do? [00:38] BroBert: Not for me. But maybe you want to accept the answers of others, since I wont bother with your issue anymore. [00:38] maveas: Det virket sgu. MATLAB er nu aktiveret. Tak for hjælp :) [00:39] <_cronus_> curtism, so even if you create a partition with gparted installer won't see it because of some metadata on the disk. [00:39] Sneglen: Sweet dude :D [00:39] channels* [00:39] bekks, i didnt mean to be insulting, its just 3 of u answering me at once dude XD [00:39] <_cronus_> curtism, unfortunatelly i don't know any details. [00:39] BroBert, tried the forgot my password option? just saying. at least, that should be your last resort [00:39] and u all keep thuinking it knows my email [00:39] it cant possibly [00:39] BroBert: DUDE [00:39] BroBert: 1. You SIGNED up.. [00:39] ya i tried that and it says it sent it, but i havent gotten it [00:40] BroBert, if you click the link in the email they sent you, then it knows your email. [00:40] BroBert: 2.

[00:44] BroBert, actually, there is an ubuntu one subforum on the forums, you could also try asking there [00:44] let me see [00:44] maveas, its ok bro <3 [00:44] kostkon, thats what i think ill try doing [00:45] BroBert, you can also sign up with another email address, and ask them to release your original email address because of the snafu. [00:45] BroBert, yeah, at least give it a try [00:45] i tried it with my email link as well, just to see if i can get a response [00:46] but im gone go ahead and try to post on the forums as well [00:46] anyway thanks for the assistance anyway guys [00:46] And if all else fails, ask for your money back. Wait, what? [00:48] anyone know about Dancer-IRCD?

[01:18] i'd make a script to list all the directories so you can double check them, then make a script to mv them all [01:18] mix of find and mv I guess?

You may want to check their forums. [02:03] whAts ur versions ppl ? [02:03] I'm looking to get a more modern laptop for 12.10 than my current HP EliteBook 6930p. Anyone have a preference/experience with HP or Dell and Ubuntu? [02:03] I remember when Ubuntu was as light as Windows XP [02:03] could be due to sublime not having a standard/default/included sublime.desktop file for a launcher [02:03] Long, long ago [02:04] Does ubuntu come with a program for flipping through a bunch of digital photos? [02:04] Wad: try Shotwell [02:04] ok [02:04] BACKTRACK 5 awesomeeeeeeeeee [02:04] maybe I could create one? [02:04] GarySeven: you may want to look ito the companies like system76 also.

[02:05] free internet on linux ? im tired of paying bills [02:05] dr_willis: maybe I create mine and suggest them [02:05] GarySeven: i dont really see the point in $1000+ laptops these days.. i normally get one in the $700 range.. then a year or so later get a nother for $700 thats got better specs then the $1500 one... [02:05] any doc on how to create them? [02:05] sam113101: ive seen at least 5 or 6 people doing the same task over the last month. [02:06] copy/edit the gedit.desktop file for an example [02:06] I agree, Dr. Thanks for the perspective! [02:06] Hi. I just installed the latest ubuntu version, and have noticed that firefox will often ask if I want to install things to make some website experiences more convenient... where can I go to find documentation on how to make one of these 'conveniences' for my own application? [02:06] Where did ntfsprogs do in raring? http://packages.ubuntu.com/search?keywords=ntfsprogs shows up right up to quantal then it disappears [02:06] so, if root can change user's passwd, but user can't change own passwd, anyone know where the problem likely lies? [02:06] *did ntfsprogs go in ... [02:06] If I had a genie that offered me 3 wishes, one would be for perfect Linux drivers. [02:06] i imagine its been asked on askubuntu.com also. i really dont see the point in useing sublime.. it seems to be problematic. [02:06] Alternatively, a perfect operating system. [02:07] raccarti: #ubuntu+1 for raring. [02:07] okay [02:07] raccarti: and it may have been merged into the ntfs-3g utilities packages [02:07] anyone ... ? this seems like it should be an easy problem for someone knowledgeable ... [02:10] Never mind... found http://developer.ubuntu.com/resources/technologies/webapps/ [02:10] webapps is a neat idea.. that dosent seem to work well. [02:11] linuxer3254: which passwd; and: ls -l /usr/bin/passwd; [02:12] trism: users can run passwd, and it will authenticate their current one and offer to change their new one, but then it gives a "token manipulation error" and says the password is unchanged [02:12] hi! Got Ubuntu 12.10. Moved firefox from one workspace to another. Now all windows open small and I can't maximize them [02:13] don't have numpad on this machine [02:13] trism: have tried passwords that are ultra random and complicated, so I don't think it's a pw quality issue [02:13] How do I maximize a window/program?

[02:16] linuxer3254: it needs to be -rwsr-xr-x [02:17] suid bit is missing.. wonder how that happened [02:17] trism: dr_willis: ooh, cool ... how do I fix that ? [02:17] linuxer3254: imo, the more important question is, how did it break? [02:17] dr_willis: I ran bastille hardening ... and then undid it ... perhaps that was it? [02:18] bastille - egads. ;) [02:18] i remember that causing such issues.. like 6+ yrs ago when it was popular. [02:18] Hey all [02:19] Can i clone a diskless image to a hard drive? [02:19] diskless image? [02:20] trism: is it possible to summarize why /etc/passwd needs to be rwsr- ... ? I'm curious ...

[02:23] linuxer3254: needs permission to write to /etc/shadow if you want to change your passwd as a normal user [02:23] k [02:23] trism: I see.

[03:32] ASmath: ive not needed to mess with the kernel since ive started using ubuntu. [03:33] yyou can edit the grub configs to select what default entry to use.. if thats what you mean [03:33] dr_willis I want to delete the one installed.. It crashed my O.S. [03:34] you can uninstall kenrnels if you want. via the package manager [03:34] id boot to an older kernel first to prove it was a kernel upgrade issue [03:35] I have to reconfigure the xorg and delete the kernel.. My O.S. does not start.. I have to do it in recovery mode.. Prefect.. I will do that. [03:35] i dont follow your logic of reconfogure the xorg. [03:36] try an older kernel from the grub menu.. see if it works.. if it does.. remove the newer kernel. [03:36] dr_willis it says I cannot open the printers.conf because I dont have permissions. How would I open that as admin [03:36] lolcat89: whats saying that? [03:36] cups web interface asks for the sudoers password normally [03:36] i imagien the cups config tools should ask also [03:37] http://ubuntuforums.org/showthread.php?t=861160 [03:37] e.g. change to [03:38] if you are editing a system file by hand. you need to use sudo of course [03:38] dr_willis: real quick. i want to make a user/pass webpage that i can let friends upload files. it would have to be a browser because not many can grasp ftp or other options. i have installed LAMP and been looking into php but im not sure what direction to go in. got any pointers? thanks.

[03:43] man I have no idea how to set this defualt printer, so confused :( [03:44] you cant just right click and set as default printer lolcat? [03:44] lolcat89: do you have more than one printer? can you test print to all of them? have you right-clicked on the one you want as default and looked for the default option? [03:44] dr_willis: thanks for the input. have a good one. [03:45] holstein no I only have one, I can test print and I do not see an word "default" when I right click the printer :( [03:45] dr_willis: Select older kernel.. FAIL. Reconfigure the xorg.. Right.. I do not have to do it "ab initio".. It is ok.. [03:45] lolcat89: it'll just be the printer that gest used [03:45] :) [03:46] dr_willis: I already tried select all of the kernels available here.. Nothing happened. === XenGi_ is now known as XenGi [03:47] ASmath: sounds like its not a kernel upgrade that broke stuff then [03:47] dr_willis: I mean.. The xorg, is about the driver.. The kernel may can did something.. I suppose! [03:48] holstein when I do lpr myfile it says "No file in print request." [03:48] dr_willis: All later upgraded the kernel.. [03:48] and I did touch myfile to create the file [03:49] #dh-support [03:49] JRS_: Error: "dh-support" is not a valid command. [03:49] JRS_: Error: "dh-support" is not a valid command.

[03:50] hi [03:50] lolcat89: i mean, test with something like gedit.. something you know works [03:51] yes it works with gedit [03:51] when i do file print [03:51] lolcat89: then, its not hte printer [03:51] cant get higher resolution [03:51] holsetin lpr is the format though right? [03:51] the cups.org had docs on command line ussage of the cups system [03:51] what sort of file are you tryign to print? [03:52] only 1024*768 [03:52] pawan: i would look at what graphics driver you have.. consider installing a proprietary driver if there is one for your device.. consider a custom xorg.conf [03:52] lolcat89: i would say, since we know its capable of printing, and its not.. then i would look at that command as being the issue [03:52] i have intel i865 board [03:52] no graphics card [03:52] so you mean you have onboard graphics pawan [03:52] yes [03:52] pawan: that *is* your graphics device.. but i would move on to the second suggestion then [03:53] i second holsteins comments [03:53] nightdemon666: :) [03:53] but... are there "proprietary" drivers for intel??? [03:54] nightdemon666: there might be alternative drivers or modules, i suppose, but not proprietary options AFAIK [03:54] cant get to install propriety drivers [03:54] pawan: correct.. so try a custom xorg.conf [03:54] how [03:55] i would go with xorg config file. had to do that on the machine im on right now, and if i remember correctly, i was chatting with you about doing a dual head system on this machine holstein :P [03:55] pawan: i usually just fire up a knoppix live CD, get the desktop looking like i want, and copy the xorg.conf from there and take it to ubuntu [03:55] nightdemon666: glad its working ! [03:55] any other way i dont have live cd [03:56] pawan: sure.. you can just search about and grab one or search for one for your specific device.. or just learn to create one with the options you need [03:56] for intel - the drivers should be installed. there are 3rd party ppa/repos that have newer versions of the intel drivers and X. I think thats the xswat ppa [03:57] this should be working, according to the cups.org info [03:57] how to install third party [03:57] pawan: the xswat ppa dr_willis is mentioning is an option.. but i doubt you need a newer driver [03:57] pawan: you can get what you need with a custom xorg.conf [03:57] it says the default system destination is canon [03:57] man xorg.conf [03:57] pawan: http://ubuntuforums.org/showthread.php?t=1342784 [03:57] so the printer is default and the test works, the command is so simple I don't see how that could be it :C [03:58] um lol, holstein, actually i never did get it working :( i did try the knoppix cd, but it still didnt cooperate. either that or i was doing it wrong :( [03:58] pawan: its not trivial.. and thats why i just grab a live CD.. you can also try arandr [03:58] nightdemon666: :/ [04:01] lolcat89: check the cups logs and lpq command output [04:01] how to get what all display modes are available [04:01] pawan: xandr can show those i think [04:02] xrander pawan [04:02] enter xrander in command line [04:02] it should show all "possible" modes [04:03] i suggest you create a custom xorg.config file. sounds liek your issue may be a lot easier to solve than my dual head not working issue :/ [04:03] dr_willis it says canon is ready, no entries [04:03] my file is just typescript so I should be able to do lp typescript === custom_ is now known as itsthattimeagain [04:04] lolcat89: try something simpler.. try txt [04:05] quick question: what is the command to find out if system is 32bit or 64bit [04:05] holstein no luck [04:05] type in terminal: arch [04:06] i686 [04:06] or have fun with : lscpu [04:06] good evening dear all [04:06] lolcat89: well, you know the printer prints.. and you can print that *.txt file.. so its not the printer, or driver, or anything like that [04:07] even if I specify the printer name like it says on cups,org using lp -d printer filename [04:07] lscpu: CPU op-mode(s): 32-bit, 64-bit [04:07] hello all, i've got an atheros ar9287 adapter and it will not connect at 802.11n speeds. b/g only... i checked here (https://bugs.launchpad.net/ubuntu/+source/linux/+bug/1046800) and downloaded / installed the 3.6 kernel, but no joy after a reboot.

[04:13] nurupo: ? [04:13] hi [04:13] holstein the cups jobs log shows the jobs are being registerd [04:13] DankenseN, you mean a tutorial or just things to practice with? [04:13] but nothing is printing [04:13] it is the weirdest thing [04:13] i need join in mode ROOT in Kubuntu 12.04 [04:14] how do i install "network proxy" on backbox any idea [04:14] hi [04:14] cant get higher resolution [04:14] pawan: with the custom xorg.conf?

[04:15] knoppies, i'm noob and learning :-) i just want some exercices to practice [04:15] pawan: if you havent tried a custom xorg.conf ,that is what to try next [04:15] hi [04:15] !sudo | Enrique_h [04:15] Enrique_h: 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 [04:19] So the glitches in 12.10 with workspace management and keyboard shortcuts are really getting to me, and I was thinking about a premature upgrade to Ringtail. Could someone give me a sense of how stable and well-supported by software it is at this point? The resealse isn't far off, but I don't know if the best pulls only come at the end? [04:19] hello my English is very bad. but I have a question. As I can access the root user in kubuntu. and I need to install software that asks me root privileges. I tried using the command | sudo in the console, but I had no results ... [04:20] MoPac, it's generally considered to be working fairly well, as in serious breakage is few and far between, but it is by no means stable and well supported [04:21] MoPac 13.04 is in alfa2, join #ubuntu+1 for questions and support === roots is now known as Guest81844 [04:23] OerHeks: thanks for the redirect [04:23] ubottu hello === Guest81844 is now known as evilroots === administrator is now known as Guest28001 [04:25] helloo === ozg is now known as Guest69475 === administrator_ is now known as man [04:26] - - [04:31] cann cron & rsync be used to setup file coherence between 2 locations - if you update anything on either machine, the most recent changes are propogated [04:32] doomlord, havent considered that one before. not sure :/ what would you be using that for? [04:32] if you dont mind me asking... [04:32] keeping a laptop & desktop source tree in sync [04:33] i realise a more conventional approach is to comit/fetch from a source-control system [04:33] but i'd be doing that aswell [04:33] doomlord: put the whole directory in a dropbox-type thing? [04:34] doesn't want to be cloud based; just wants to be on my lan [04:34] is this for sharing files??? kind of like how packages from apt are updated and synced with local package list??? [04:34] not at all [04:34] well... i could probably just acheive what i want with an SCM like git [04:34] not sure what a source tree is.. my bad :P [04:35] working directory of sourcecode [04:35] the point being .. actually commiting & updating is a mental step [04:35] with 2 locations on 2 machines in sync i can just jump from laptop to desktop without thinking about it [04:35] doomlord: lots of suggestions here but YMMV http://arstechnica.com/civis//viewtopic.php?f=19&t=1152308 [04:36] interesting.. well it makes more since to me as you explain it, but unfortunately im not helping lol too busy tring to understand the need [04:36] maybe 'ubuntu1' could do it, but it will be syncing via the cloud [04:36] doomlord: eg: http://www.cis.upenn.edu/~bcpierce/unison/ [04:36] put it this way... [04:36] i can have a laptop to give me freedom of movement while i'm busy coding [04:37] or i could have this type of synching and 2 desktops ... one upstairs one downstairs [04:37] whatever [04:37] doomlord: gitosis? or similar? [04:37] its not really a NEED.. its a want [04:37] well, the way i'd handle that i guess is to have access to that source code via ssh or (sftp) :/ [04:37] but thats probably a clunky way to go about it [04:37] git is the standard approach - and I do use git as it is [04:37] bit its still an actual manual step to sync [04:38] actually something else that would be handy is doing this between Linux & Mac [04:40] do you want to be able to do it from WAN too? [04:40] yes over wireless too [04:40] i *have* done this sort of thing with sftp [04:41] used my mac to compile source that was actually on my linux box [04:41] then i dont know how just cloud based syncing would be the home run hitter for doing what you wanna do then [04:41] maybe i should just give in and do that [04:41] its funny how it can be easier to use a remote cloud service to move data from one machine to another in the same room, lol [04:42] which, for me, why i use ssh servers, and have access to them over the wan and lan, is to have my OWN cloud :) [04:42] Has anyone ever got a program to work on wine? [04:42] nightdemon666: how did you study about ssh ? [04:42] oh another use case: [04:43] laptop has 1 screen... a spare machine could be driving multiple monitors, with *synergy*... wireless extra screen space :) [04:43] without having to mess with cables [04:43] luck, i studied by just using it. i learned more and more over time. forced my self ot learn command line. studied how to make it secure (as possible) and learned ot search for apps that support it, ei android apps... [04:43] I need to compare Hadoop over lustre rather than hadoop over HDFS. I have 2 OSS, 1MDS and 1 client machine. Do I need to make MDS equivalent to Namenode and OSS equivalent to DataNode. What will be client for? [04:44] nightdemon666: nice... I want to know but i don't know how to begin ... any idea? [04:44] heh [04:45] sudo apt-get install openssh-server, then sudo vi /etc/ssh/sshd_config and configure the file to my liking :) [04:45] other wishlist feature... upgrade to synergy that can detect the spatial position of a laptop when it comes to moving the cursor between sscreens :) [04:45] nightdemon666: ok [04:45] oh, and open the port that i set on my config file using ufw :) [04:45] but i can live without that [04:46] i tend to perform a sudo ufw default deny, then issue a sudo ufw allow (what ever port number i wanted to use other than 22) [04:46] q [04:49] many porple use deny hosts to slow down brute force attacks, and fail2ban... currently i dont have a really big reason to implement that because i check my logs in /var/log/auth.log, and grep out what i suspect to be brute foring attempts. since i changed my port ot a port generally listen to by a different service, its a dead give a away when someone "attemtped" to establish a connection, but did it using the wrong pr [04:49] nightdemon666: i intalled it [04:49] nightdemon666: what to do next? [04:50] luck, first you shoud always make sure your firewall is active [04:50] nightdemon666: how to check? I am using ubuntu [04:51] sudo ufw status.. but since oyu ask the question i'd suggest running sudo ufw enable in your command line. the sudo ufw default deny [04:52] nightdemon666: i run it [04:52] so you have ufw enables and denying incoming connections to services by default correct luck? [04:54] do i have to type sudo ufw deny?? [04:54] nightdemon666: do i have to? [04:54] luck, i simply suggest you to configure your firewall rules because thats good practice, you dont neccesarily have to configure firewall to run ssh [04:54] to run ssh service you type sudo service ssh start in command line [04:55] nightdemon666: ok.. anyhoo where to start to read inorder to use ssh? any books or site recoment? [04:56] well, id start with man pages in linux command line [04:56] but, to give you a few pointers, to access your new ssh server from another computer, just type ssh user@ipaddress [04:57] if you change from default port of 22, you type ssh -p port# user@ipaddress (thats LAN or WAN address BTW) [04:57] nightdemon666: from this computer or another? [04:58] from another computer luck [04:58] Uhmm I need help with my Torrent thing...it won't let me use any other torrent programs except Transmission and that one won't even download any of them [04:58] nightdemon666: ok .. so user=the name from this compuer and what is ip and how to find out? [04:58] i do it all the time. from my blackberry or android, or any linux os i get my hands on. im always managing my fiels over ssh/sftp [04:59] nightdemon666: sweet... I want to do too... i think i found a right person... can you guide me through basic ?? [05:00] luck, yes.. the user is what ever user name you have on that computer.. so it may look like ssh luck@192.168.1.100 or something like that. thats connecting via another computer in your house (LAN) you can find what ip address that server is on by tyoing ifconfig and identifying what interface you have running gets an ip adress from your router/modem [05:01] nightdemon666: thanks friend [05:02] Uhm...is there anyone who can help me? [05:02] nightdemon666: sorry my friend what i have to type in order to connect this computer [05:03] so say you are running a laptop, likely you are using wireless, you will likely get an ip address on interface wlan0, or eth1. if you look at the ipv4 address, it will likely look like 192.168.1.XXX. thats the address to connect to that computer from the LAN. if you are connecting from somewhere outside your LAN however, you will need ot know your WAN ip. i tend to find that by going to ipdb.at form a computer in my ho [05:04] nightdemon666: very thank you my friend .... i get in [05:05] nightdemon666: after i login to this computer it said Write failed: host is down [05:05] you are logging in from a different computer right? [05:06] nightdemon666: yes .. let say from my mac to this computer [05:06] and you do know the ipaddress assigned to that ssh server right? [05:06] I can't get two gpus to work in ubuntu. I have the latest nvidia drivers installed, my gpus are the gtx 580 and the geforce 210. They both show up in lspci, only the 580 shoows up in nvidia-settings. Only the 580 is actually outputting to monitors right now. [05:07] nightdemon666: i think so ..i typed ifconfig ...i take inet addr [05:07] baumy, probably running two different drivers [05:07] nightdemon666: is that right? [05:07] nightdemon666: how would i tell if i am? [05:07] correect, should look like 192.168. something. something [05:08] nightdemon666: but I can't get it tho === xx is now known as xx-CS [05:09] nightdemon666: so how to transfer a file from out side computer to this computer [05:10] thats a bit more complicated luck, lets try getting the cnnection first :) [05:10] ping the ip address firstbefore tryingot connect. if you ping and get replys then you should attempt to connect [05:10] ping 192.168.something.somthing [05:10] nightdemon666: alright, i got in [05:11] soo...no one can help me with my torrent problem? [05:11] sweet. now to transfer files you use the sftp protocol.... so you dont do that via ssh, but you must have an ssh server to connect via sftp. so from your mac, run sftp user@ipaddress [05:12] nightdemon666: ok [05:12] nightdemon666: user=this computer or mac?? [05:12] it is the saem user you access via ssh, [05:12] same [05:13] nightdemon666: ok [05:13] sftp is a subsystem of ssh, so ssh or sftp protocols access the same system. they just have different functions. [05:14] nightdemon666: ok [05:14] nightdemon666: and then what is next?? Master [05:14] lol [05:15] nightdemon666: ping is not stop..how to stop?? [05:15] hi my ubuntu 12.04 freezes then starts to lag everytime i log on. but for like the first 15 mins it runs fine. i was curious if i need to upgrade my ram or what. any help? [05:16] nightdemon666: i did apt-get purge --remove nvidia*, reinstalled latest, still same issue, so i dont think thats the problem [05:16] Ctrl-C to stop `ping` [05:16] next is to know what file you want to transfer. in this case, from your mac, you would be issuing the "get" commant. you wanna "get" the file and download it to your computer. so you need to type get path/to/file(on the server) /path/to/where/you/want/it/to/be/downloaded/to (on the mac) [05:16] hi [05:17] I was wondering if anyone knew why I can't use any other torrent program other than transmission when I have two other ones downloaded and why ransmission wont download anything i want [05:17] how do i view how much ram i have in the terminal? [05:17] nightdemon666: ok [05:18] baumy, but you are running two different chipsets. so this means that the nvidia drivers are going ot choose one of those cards... im thinking you would have to have the same GPU's to do what you want it o do. ive had similar experience with two different nvidia chipsets, and sure enough, nvidia drivers had problems with that. [05:18] nightdemon666: they are both covered by the same driver, and it works in windows =/ [05:18] fanfy you should be able what about ktorrent or vuze? [05:18] nightdemon666: it said Sorry, command-not-found has crashed! [05:19] nightdemon666: when i try to get a file from this computer to my mac [05:19] is there a terminal for android similar to ubuntu that supports commands and tools in ubuntu? [05:19] Fanfy: Do you know what magnet links are? If not you should probably read this: http://lifehacker.com/5875899/what-are-magnet-links-and-how-do-i-use-them-to-download-torrents [05:19] I haven't tried them but I have deluge and qbittorent and even when i try to search for them it doesn't even pop up [05:19] nightdemon666: i use "get networkDriver" which is on the Desktop in this computer [05:19] well i was on piratebay. And before I reinstalled ubuntu it was working...and now it's not [05:20] luc, you have to specify where you are gtting it from,and where you want it to go. [05:20] I had to reinstall ubuntu because it was acting weird. Dunno if it was necessary but I did it. And now I can't get qbittorent to open up as my torrent program [05:20] nightdemon666: for example?? [05:20] thus get /path/to/file/from/server /path/where/downloading/it/to/on/mac/computer [05:21] anyone have 12.04 window dragging lag etc? [05:21] hold up... rb [05:22] well i have 12.04 [05:22] brb [05:22] is there a terminal for android similar to ubuntu that supports commands and tools in ubuntu? [05:22] b2w i dont belive so [05:22] and lemme tell ya it gives me problems...it hates me i swear it. But the lagging thing was happening to me too which is why i thought i had to reinstall the os but [05:22] i didn't have to turned out it was lagging and freezing because my computer was apparently over heating [05:23] yeah exactly i reinstalled like 3 times [05:23] and now i cant get my torrents to download at all -.- it was working before i reinstalled and now it doesn't [05:23] still lagging [05:23] try letting ur computer cool down. Are you using a laptop? [05:23] nah desktop. [05:23] my acer one refuses to boot from usb [05:23] oh huh i dunno then... [05:24] mine was really bad like took forever for home folder to open x.x [05:24] now i'm having this torrent problem and it's bugging me [05:24] like after 10 minutes of being on firefox and other programs the screen will like glitch for a second and then everything is slow again. [05:24] :is there a android terminal that supports tools like zbarimg and espeak? [05:24] nightdemon666: oh ok .. do i have to type containously for /where/to/put [05:24] i didn't know if i was missing some kind of file or something and i can't figure out why qbittorent isn't opening as one of my options now [05:25] weird dude. [05:25] Yeah i've come to the conclusion that ubuntu hates me [05:25] are they seeded torrents? [05:25] my internet is weird too [05:25] uhm i think so [05:26] it just gives me transmission as an option even when i try to search for a program none of my other torrent programs pop up and [05:26] i mean if its a torrent no one is seeding its going to have a hard starting [05:26] when i open it with transmission it claims there are no files in the torrent [05:26] really... [05:26] it does it with any torrent i download like this one has over 1000 seeders.... [05:26] yeap [05:27] See ubuntu hates me...lol I was on here earlier trying for help with my weird out internet [05:27] and im guessing youve googled it a bunch and whatnot? [05:28] Yeah i've tried...i just don't get what a bunch of people are saying and they're all like do this code and what not and i don't want to do them cause i have no idea what theyre talking about and i don't want to screw up my computer again [05:28] try to open one of the others like vuze and open the torrent from there/ [05:28] I mean it was working perfectly before...and now it doesn't [05:28] before you reinstalled? [05:29] some torrent clients have import from other torrent client options i recall [05:29] kk i'll see if the software thing has vuze and try it. I mean if I open qbittorent and search in it's search thing it works but i want to find stuff on piratebay click 'download this torrent' and choose qbit [05:29] and yeah it worked perfectly before i reinstalled [05:29] i dident think piratebay had .torrent downloads any more.. they were magiclinks or whatever they are called [05:29] I tried add link to torrent in qbit but it didn't work [05:30] sometimes we cant have what we want. :( [05:30] magnet links [05:30] well i was able to download stuff from piratebay earlier [05:30] through qbit [05:30] right. [05:30] and now it refuses to work x.x [05:30] what are you trying to download? albums? movies? [05:30] please can someone explain to me why certain files get their thumbnail and others don't, in nautilus? [05:31] movies [05:31] sam113101: there a file size setting i recall.. large files dont get thumbnailed.. [05:31] anyone know why i can't use apt-get command in my mac's terminal [05:31] I set it to 4 GB [05:31] how do i install ubuntu from usb pen on acer one? [05:31] should be enough [05:31] right. [05:31] so that's not that [05:31] luck you mean in Uubntu On a mac pc? [05:31] luck you typing sudo apt-get? [05:31] dr_willis: on a mac [05:31] like when it asks me 'what program do you want to use' when i click 'download this torrent' it's all like transmission is my only option even when i have qbit and deluge downloaded [05:31] sam11301, yes dr_willis is correct, there is a setting you can change in nautilus that will allow you to thumb nail much larger files :) [05:31] hxcjonnysniper: yes [05:32] luck and the error message was? and what ubuntu are you using? [05:32] but the setting is set to the max already [05:32] HELO [05:32] dr_willis: not on ubuntu [05:32] HELLO [05:32] gosh, how bug is the file sam113101 [05:32] dr_willis: it is in my mac's termial [05:32] HELLO [05:32] luck then why are you in this channel? [05:32] luck you mean in OS-X's termiinal? [05:32] dr_willis: yes [05:33] luck so why do you think OS-X has apt-get ? [05:33] hxcjonnysniper: to ask question that I don't know [05:33] Just wanted to say that Maximum PC magazine gives much respect to this forum. You guys all deserve a good round of applause for the help you provide. [05:33] about mac in a linux room. smh. [05:33] dr_willis: tell me if i am wrong, mac has terminal same as the one in ubuntu [05:33] nightdemon666: 400 MB [05:33] Yes, it does. [05:34] does anyone know if there its possible to build a ubuntu box with a video card, then remove the video card to make it headless, and then use a external USB video adapter to get a display as needed? I can prep the ubuntu before hand, but I'm just wondering if anyone has every tried something like that [05:34] dr_willis: so i think it should work too right? [05:34] luck so? that dosent mean it has apt-get.. [05:34] luck totally wrong. [05:34] dr_willis: i don't know [05:34] luck, an example would be get /home/luck/file /Users/luck [05:34] luck Os-X is not linux. its BSD based [05:34] hey i have a suggestion [05:34] luck time to hit the OS-X channels [05:34] sam113101, what kind of file is it? jpg. avi? [05:34] dr_willis: can you show me the way? [05:34] lol. [05:34] !alia > luck [05:34] has anybody ever though of making the unity launcher outline the running program icons instead of changing the back color? [05:35] !alis > luck [05:35] luck, please see my private message [05:35] like the worksapce viewer? [05:35] dr_willis, send him to the mactel pages :-D [05:35] that would look allot less like shit... [05:35] nightdemon666: it's an avi, but I get some avi to work [05:35] nightdemon666: so it's like get /desire/file /where/i/want/to/onmac? [05:35] whose in charge here? [05:35] luck, take me to your leader [05:36] does a graphics card upgrade upgrade your unity's deliverance? [05:36] !brainstorm > BroBert [05:36] BroBert, please see my private message [05:36] well, thats what i would think, but i wonder if there woul dbe issues with that. luck my apologies, but m not mac savvy yet :( [05:36] hey i could even try doing this myself [05:36] GL LUCK ALL. im out. [05:36] Hello [05:36] BroBert: go a head [05:36] im new to linux, but ive done allot a wxwidgets programmer, see enigma-dev.org [05:37] !language | BroBert [05:37] BroBert: Please watch your language and topic to help keep this channel family-friendly, polite, and professional. [05:37] im the leader of the new IDE project in wxWidgets, so I might be able to help implement the effect to unity dash [05:37] ohhh im sorry for bad language [05:37] First-time Xubuntu desktop convert here. [05:37] wes, u wont regret it [05:37] Unity is going to be moveing to qt/qml from what ive been reading.. [05:37] I LOVE it so far. [05:37] rlly? [05:37] hmmm [05:37] Yup. [05:37] thats interesting [05:38] front page items on omgubuntu and webupd8 [05:38] because of ubuntu phone, no? [05:38] was it qml? im not even sure what qml is. :) i just skimmed the artical. [05:39] dr_willis im sorry [05:39] i actually know what your talkin about [05:39] its all over tech forums about hte GUI rewrite [05:39] i did not know that that entailed qml however [05:39] dr_willis QT is C++ but has cross platform hardware accellerated rendering [05:39] i know cause i was originally considering it for my ide [05:40] why is the dash so slow [05:41] takes 3 seconds to open [05:41] sam113101, perhaps ur on the wrong arhcitecture? [05:41] sam113101, i bet your file just failed to load the thumbnail properly. when this happens, the unloaded information goes into a directory at ~/.thumbnails. from there you may see failed and normal. remove all the failed ones out of the diredctory or delete the failed thumbnails directory completely. it should repopulate when another failed thumbnail caches. [05:41] awesome vuze isn't working either [05:41] http://www.omgubuntu.co.uk/2013/03/unity-next-project-announced mentions qml [05:41] fuck [05:41] brobert gunna get booted... [05:41] sorry my bad [05:42] but i knew i shoulda stuck with QT [05:42] BroBert: what? [05:42] sam113101, are you on the wrong architecture maybe? [05:42] what do you mean architecture [05:42] x32bit on an x64 platform runs slow as hell for my laptop [05:42] no it's 64 bits on 64 bits [05:43] wierd [05:43] still not sure what QML is - artical dosent really say. ;) guessing its qt's xml or somthing. [05:43] how do i install ubuntu from usb pen on acer one?ca may not be weird if his driver/chipset are not happy... [05:43] dr_willis, QT tho i dnt like [05:43] because it was originally open source [05:43] or commercial or something [05:43] Elive_webchat5: make a live usb.. boot it install it.. [05:43] but anyway [05:43] now u can just use it [05:43] its not like really open source [05:43] BroBert: that was like decades ago.. [05:43] rlly? [05:44] hmmm [05:44] yes.. 10+ yrs ago i recall [05:44] So no one else here knows why my torrent thing won't reconize any of my torrent programs? [05:44] i might have to reconsider doing my IDE in QT then [05:44] multiarch strategy debian and ubuntu are commons? [05:44] no not that long [05:44] dr_willis, does QT go well on Mac? [05:44] I dont use macs. no idea [05:44] dr_willis: is a big help [05:44] fanfy... i se you are having issues with your bittorrent client, could you please explain in detail what exactly is going wrong? [05:45] dr_willis is a big help [05:45] hey i am running ubuntu 12.04. i installed nvidia ppa x.swat. when i oopen nvdia xorg it says not installed nvidia x drivers . any help?? [05:45] Elive_webchat5: maybe you can tell us what's the problem exactly? [05:45] Elive_webchat5: the install page at ubuntu.com pretty much walks you throug this. [05:45] no linux is booting [05:46] i tryed several already [05:46] so what's the problem [05:46] and how did youmake the usb? and what are they doing exacctly.... [05:46] Okay so when I go to piratebay I click on 'download this torrent' and the only option it gives me is transmission (which won't download anything keeps saying any torrent I choose has no files or whatever) and I have vuze, qbittorent and deluge all downloaded and when i click choose a different application and search none show up. [05:46] dr_willis: if i want ssh.. what i have to type ? [05:46] tryed yumy uui and unetbotin [05:46] luck you install the openssh server. Im not sure what the exact package name is. [05:47] Elive_webchat5: are you on windows? [05:47] !info openssh-server [05:47] yes [05:47] openssh-server (source: openssh): secure shell (SSH) server, for secure access from remote machines. In component main, is optional. Version 1:6.0p1-3ubuntu1 (quantal), package size 336 kB, installed size 824 kB [05:47] dr_willis: in general ... [05:47] Elive_webchat5: use win32 disk imager, it's the best one out there [05:47] luck youinstall a ssh server if you want the ssh service [05:48] dr_willis: apt-get what i have to type.. for sever [05:48] problem with nvidia drivers. I am running ubuntu 12.04 lts. any help?. [05:48] luck yes apt-get basics.. sudo apt-get install packagename [05:48] luck i thought you were on OS-X [05:49] Ugggh I'm guessing no one knows why my ubuntu is dumb huh? x.x [05:49] can he not transfer files via sftp in mac osx dr_willis??? [05:49] nope [05:49] I havent used OS-X since the PPC days. no idea what features it has any more [05:49] now i am using ubuntu [05:49] no, fanfy, unfortunately not [05:49] Fanfy: can't you type the naem of the program? [05:49] I have an answer but it's probably not going to help you [05:49] but i have mac [05:50] dr_willis, how long will it be before this new ubuntu GUI is finished and in a release? [05:50] Well yeah I search type in the name nothing pops up as if the programs don't exist and they're clearly downloaded [05:50] BroBert: dates ive seen place it next year [05:50] dr_willis, as in 2014 or do you mean Q3-Q4 2013? [05:50] nextyear would ne 2014 [05:51] ok well anyway thanks, youve given me allot to think about, and i posted my suggestion [05:51] and i doubt if anyone truely knows the timeframe [05:51] so im go now [05:51] dr_willis: can you help nvidia drivers problem? I am running ubuntu 12.04 [05:51] I have no .thumbnails folder [05:51] soembody: state the problem to the channel and see. i rarely have nvidia issues. so dont deal with them much [05:51] I mean everything works in qbit i can search for them and download them but its so much easier if I go through piratebay or something. It's annoying to use the search through qbit [05:51] http://wiki.debian.org/Multiarch Ubuntu applies? [05:52] AlexandreMBM: as far as i know the ubuntu install cd/dvds are not multiarch.. theres 32bit and 64bit versions [05:52] I today installed ubuntu nvidia ppa . when i open xorg it says "you do not have nvdiax drivers installed" [05:53] soembody: you added what ppa exactly? the xswat ppa? [05:53] yes xswat ppa. [05:54] andwhy did you decide to use the xswat ppa? [05:54] Ubuntu have a multiarch documentation? [05:55] so i can latest update for my nvidia card. [05:56] AlexandreMBM: https://help.ubuntu.com/community/MultiArch [05:56] soembody: so the drivers from the repos were workng? and the xswat drivers dont work? [05:56] yep. [05:57] hi,everyone.would ubuntu use rolling-update by default after 13.04 be published? [05:57] soembody: so.. the solution seems obvious. ;) [05:57] Flywater: checkthe blog sites.. its being discussed [05:57] "Multi-arch is a new way of handling this developed by Debian" [05:58] dr_willis: so r u suggesting me to stick with the repo version ?? [05:58] Flywater: from my understanding, the rolling updates may be a little while off yet.there's a desire to get it going for 13.04, though. [05:58] soembody: yes. [05:58] Flywater: http://www.markshuttleworth.com/archives/1228 [05:59] <__vincent> hmm [05:59] i think ubuntu should publish two version,one is LtS and the other one is rolling-update. [05:59] bbl.. gotta work at my real job... [05:59] Hi __vincent [05:59] <__vincent> i have copied some files from windows hard drive with foreign language character file names [05:59] dr_willis: k. one more thing my ubuntu frequently crashes when playing online videos. [05:59] <__vincent> and they are showing up as ? question marks [05:59] <__vincent> and acting as such [05:59] <__vincent> from commandline [05:59] Right. Ubuntu has full UTF-8 support by default. [06:00] However, some character encodings have weird errors on windows. [06:00] /join #ubuntu-cn [06:00] Hi everyone, i have just tried to install Ubuntu but after i select a language the screen goes blank. what am I doing wrong? [06:00] I've had the same problem with some cyrillic characters of a couple of albums I have by Ukrainian bands. [06:00] You're probably better off just renaming them yourself. I think I've used tools that help before but...I'm not sure what they are. [06:01] michaelshort: what graphics card? [06:01] michaelshort: which language did you selecte? [06:01] Can you type the characters on the keyboard __vincent? I wouldn't recommend putting non-ASCII characters in filenames if you can't type them. [06:01] dr_willis: k. one more thing my ubuntu frequently crashes when playing online videos. do u have any clue?? [06:01] it's just a laptop with a built in graphics card, i chose english === GidgitDig is now known as RigidWig [06:02] not sure exactly what graphics card it has [06:02] michaelshort: english is default [06:02] my ubuntu frquently crashes when playing online videos. I am runninh ubuntu 12.04 lts. [06:02] when i put the disk in and restarted the PC it brought up a screen asking what language i wanted, [06:04] michaelshort: sorry, i install ubuntu by USB [06:04] the process wouldn't be very different would it? [06:05] michaelshort: it should be boot in a live-CD,did you press any key during its booting? [06:06] no, i just booted it and it brought up a purple screen with the logo, then I pressed enter and it asked for the langauge [06:06] michaelshort:for example,it display a keyboard icon on the bottom of screen [06:07] yes it did [06:07] my ubuntu frquently crashes when playing online videos. I am runninh ubuntu 12.04 lts. [06:07] michaelshort: don't press any key and it will be boot in a Live-CD [06:08] soembody, have you tried using some other browser? [06:08] michaelshort: maybe it's a bad burn. [06:08] michaelshort: don't press any key [06:08] if i don't press any key it just hangs on that screen until i do press one [06:08] c2tarun:yep [06:09] michaelshort, hit enter [06:09] what flash version are you using? Are you able to recover from the crash or you have to reboot? [06:09] <__vincent> Rokkross: i am using cyrillic characters [06:09] if i hit enter it does what i described before [06:09] anyone care to answer an nfs4 question [06:09] <__vincent> but since i copied them to linux hard drive [06:09] <__vincent> their file names were replaced with ?'s [06:10] yep [06:10] <__vincent> i think there is not trace of original characters on this hard drive [06:10] <__vincent> interesting that it would copy them in such a way [06:10] lates flash version. the crash leads to the login screen. [06:10] well, it should be auto boot in a Live-CD,if you don't press any key [06:11] soembody, crash leads to login screen O_O you whole desktop is crashing and not just browser. [06:11] michaelshort:maybe it's one bad burn [06:11] soembody, you using ubuntu 2D or 3D? [06:11] i tried two burns both have this result [06:11] yes u got it . i think 3d. what is the diff?. [06:12] the live thing worked but the screen went blank again [06:12] michaelshort: did you check the md5sum of the ISO before burning? [06:12] michaelshort:if you press enter or space it will display language selection indeed [06:12] whats that? [06:12] !md5sum | michaelshort [06:12] michaelshort: To verify your Ubuntu ISO image (or other files for which an MD5 checksum is provided), see http://help.ubuntu.com/community/HowToMD5SUM or http://www.linuxquestions.org/linux/answers/LQ_ISO/Checking_the_md5sum_in_Windows [06:12] soembody, 3D is little more resource hungry and little heavy will lots of special effects and feature, can you please try to switch to ubuntu 2D and start playing online videos. This will rule out few doubts. [06:13] i have ubuntu fallback mode installed. still the problem persists. [06:14] soembody, ohh... can you please share the /var/log/syslog file and last time of crash. [06:15] sry to be naive. how exactly 2 retreive that file. [06:15] ok i did that, what do i do with the checksum? [06:16] soembody, well I'll prefer install pastebinit by "sudo apt-get install pastebinit" then type in command prompt, cat /var/log/syslog | pastebinit and then you'll get a link, please share that link. [06:16] michaelshort: you did what? [06:16] checked the md5sum [06:16] soembody, or you can, open the file by gedit /var/log/syslog, copy the contents and paste it in pastebin and share the link. === jagger is now known as jagger|away [06:17] michaelshort: right that's what you do with it. get it, compare it to the published md5sum - make sure it's the same [06:17] doing it. [06:23] here it is http://paste.ubuntu.com/5598036/ === Coffeecoco is now known as Coffee- [06:23] soembody, latest time of crash? === Coffeecoco is now known as Coffee- [06:24] yday around 6 or 8. [06:25] soembody, ok, I am looking, you also take a look at the page and try to find where is the crash time and what do you see there. Also share the line if you find it. [06:25] k [06:26] ubuntu 12.04. where is the trash bin? and how do i get it on the desktop. or somewhere visible so i can easily find it again? [06:26] lightning.net [06:27] AcidRain Your not allowed to do that [06:27] boldfilter, thats just another corporate setback of ubuntu turning into windows? [06:28] o.0 oh no!!

[06:29] just got back into ubuntu and it's 12...things i don't like... [06:29] speaking of selling out, just heard ubuntu touch is running on CM10.1 [06:30] !ot [06:30] #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! [06:30] plutazion, i fell lkike im restricted [06:30] AcidRain : have a look at this ... http://www.ubuntugeek.com/hhow-to-display-computerhomenetworktrash-and-mounted-volumes-icons-on-ubuntu-12-04-precise-desktop.html [06:31] plutazion, i felt like there was a time in ubuntu's life (11.04+ to 12.04+) that they started heading in the wrong direction [06:31] acid yea same here...even when i read into the things i want...it's got issues or isn't supported =c [06:31] IdleOne youre why I use fedora [06:31] well ubottu I tried to ask a question, nobody wanted to help [06:31] boldfilter: Good for you, but while you are in this channel you need to be helpful and follow the rules === Coffee- is now known as Coffeecoco [06:32] boldfilter, i would like to ask some more help of you. what do you believe of what ubuntu has become today? does your opinions match that of plutazion and i? [06:32] Disgusted [06:32] i'm in ot if you wanna chat more, i'd like to know what is restriciting in 12 =/ [06:32] plutazion, early adopters don't realize how much power they have when they succumb to popular demand. If you build it... [06:32] This channel is not for discussing your personal opinions. [06:32] plutazion, i wouldnt say there are any restrictions at all. it just became difficult to make things happen. i feel as if i have to google everything i want to do now. example: finding the damn trashcan [06:33] IdleOne, i see nothing wrong with discussing personal opinions while there are no questions being asked? [06:33] its in the file broser [06:33] lol getting used to the file system has always been an issue...4 years in ubuntu and i still forget and get lost, and changeing it up...makes it worse haha [06:33] I asked about NFS [06:34] AcidRain: This is a support channel, not a discussion channel, Please use #ubuntu-offtopic for chat [06:34] ^^ [06:34] Dont talk about how unity sucks or anything like that [06:34] perhaps i would like to discuss the opinions of the supported DE? [06:34] NFS? [06:34] anyone? [06:34] i need help [06:35] AcidRain: Please use #ubuntu-offtopic [06:36] NFS [06:36] NFS [06:36] what's mir? [06:36] a spacestation [06:36] !mir | sam113101 [06:36] sam113101: Mir is the next-generation display server currently under development by Canonical and Ubuntu. It's slated for inclusion in Ubuntu 14.04. For more information on it, see https://wiki.ubuntu.com/MirSpec . For code, see https://launchpad.net/mir [06:37] what about wayland? [06:37] sam113101: not supported here. [06:38] IdleOne, i would love to join in discissions in the off-topic channel.. however for some reason im banned from that channel.. you check logs if you like.. i am here a lot helping people out.. but i am unable to join the off-topic channel.. and ubuntu-chat is invite only sigh..... [06:38] l057c0d3r: join #ubuntu-ops and we can check why you are unable to join #ubuntu-offtopic [06:39] soooo, nobody wants to help with nfs? [06:40] spacestationspaz, Ask a question [06:41] well, if anyone has experience with nfs4, I'd like to hear their opinion [06:41] on the best way to setup a share for two machines on the same home network [06:41] lol [06:43] How do i setup two wifi AP's in 12? i'm not even sure if the blitzz netwave drivers or compatable are installed? [06:43] did any clue?. I am unable anything. everthing looks greek and latin to me. [06:45] plutazion, what do you mean? [06:45] plutazion, setting up an AP shouldnt have anything to do with your actual system [06:45] hi, guys... i wonder if somebody here has successfully installed ubuntu on a pre-installed win8 machine.... i need help [06:46] gharz, my system came with win8. i never turned it on. i had a ubuntu 12 disk rdy for it [06:46] gharz, i don't mean to be a tech snob, but does google say people have had success with your specific model? [06:46] haha it does, previous versions all i had to do was click on the other AP, i'm thinking the drivers aren't installed or i have to do something more for 12 [06:47] and i agree, thee is some conformity with ubuntu, as if it's trying to be more like windows...ew [06:47] !gdm [06:47] Like making people buy software...it should be donation supported [06:47] so people want to yell at others for off topic discussion, saying this forum is for questions, but no one wants to answer my question? [06:48] plutazion, thats whats happening. our beloved OS is going down [06:48] you haven't asked one...that last sentence is the only question i've seen from you [06:48] i am sorry spacestationspaz i would help but i have no experience with nfs [06:48] ^^ and people need to be here to help you xD [06:48] scroll up plut [06:49] I would be happy with "i don't know" as an answer [06:49] at least I would know then to look elsewhere [06:49] But any network HD or any files in the shared folder...should be shared right? [06:49] AcidRain: really? it worked? [06:49] windows pc's don't see the ext format though [06:49] nope, plut its command line [06:49] and both my machines are ubuntu [06:50] spacestationspaz: just trying my luck if somebody has successfuly instaled ubuntu on a win8 machine [06:50] haha [06:50] gharz, it can be done but I hear its touch and go at this point and there are a lot of machine specific directions [06:51] !uefi | gharz [06:51] gharz: 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 [06:51] spacestationspaz: for NFS you might try asking in #ubuntu-server ... not sure how active that challel is now though [06:51] spacestationspaz: ooohhh... guess i have to wait again for a couple of months [06:51] gharz, [06:51] *channel [06:51] don't give up [06:51] bcbc2: thanks... i'll check that out [06:51] spacestationspaz: thanks! [06:52] it can be done [06:52] yea specifying it's server/command line in the question may interest those users if they are around as well [06:52] hmmm, I assumed most people who can answer questions about linux are saavy with terminal [06:53] texnick I have tried a few channels [06:53] I guess it is technically a server question [06:54] spacestationspaz: have you looked at this ... https://help.ubuntu.com/community/SettingUpNFSHowTo [06:54] tex, I have that tab open right now [06:54] it didn't work, not to mention it conflicts with several other guides [06:55] and the guides for nfs in general are not well written imo [06:56] my first step is always a strenuous google search [06:57] I think I'll just have to nuke it and start over [06:57] you can use ubuntu server as a file server right? [06:58] danon, are you asking in general or in response to my question? [06:58] in general [06:59] because i tryed freenas and i was never able to connect to the samba shares [06:59] yes, there are a few ways [06:59] hi guys. so i'm having major problems with grub trying to boot into ubuntu on my dualboot install... i'm in the livecd atm. i've tried reinstalling grub with no success... i'm getting this: http://askubuntu.com/questions/143667/boot-error-no-such-device-grub-rescue -- i've checked blkid and the UID it says on the error is the same as the one with the linux install [06:59] danon, i'm trying to do something similar with NFS [06:59] my desktop os is mint 14 [06:59] I've read NFS is the better option because SAMBA is meant to conform to windows protocols [07:00] and i can't get into my windows install either obviously, because now everything is broken :'( [07:01] pobril19, is this a new machine? [07:01] nah i've had it for a while spacestationspaz [07:01] i originally had 10.10 installed, and i just installed 12.10 over the top [07:01] and now this is happening [07:01] grub was working fine with 10.10 and would show 10.10 and windows in the menu [07:02] so you chose to install 12.10 alongside 10.10 in the install menu or replace? [07:02] spacestationspaz: replace [07:03] what kind of important data do you risk losing? [07:03] spacestationspaz: years of data :( [07:03] lappy or desk [07:03] ? [07:03] desktop [07:03] do you have your windows product key? [07:04] nope, i don't even have a windows installer disc [07:04] my experience when ubuntu gets borked like this (and it does, often) is to start over [07:04] windows installer disks are easy to come by [07:04] what version of windows? [07:05] 7 [07:05] ok, I think your best hope is to have windows 7 recover its own boot menu and then go back and reinstall ubuntu [07:06] #ubuntu-sc-br [07:06] pobri19_: you can easily get Windows booting from a live CD. But how are you installing grub? from the 12.10 live CD or via chroot? [07:06] reinstalling grub did not help? [07:07] http://download.driverguide.com/driver/Netwave+Point+PC/Blitzz+Technology/d1116187.html< this is the windows driver for my wifi ap...i need a driver for ubuntu 12 and some help installing it? [07:08] is your wireless card not supported in ubuntu? [07:08] i'm not sure? [07:09] it must not be, everything usually installs or gets updates... [07:09] are you running 12.10 or 12.04 [07:09] IdleOne <3 [07:09] http://blog.droidzone.in/2012/11/23/reinstall-a-corrupt-grub2/ [07:09] bcbc2: from the live CD [07:09] 12 10 i believe wubuntu [07:09] hiii,, [07:09] I think you guys are telling him to put in too much work trying to save a fresh install [07:10] wubuntu? thats a new distro ? [07:10] ı'm türkiye [07:10] how are you [07:10] he should use the live cd and copy the files he needs and start over [07:10] i don't have a windows disk.. [07:10] pobri19_: can you pastebin the commands and output? [07:10] take off and nuke the whole site from orbit [07:10] its the only way to be sure [07:10] lol [07:10] pobril, htats not a problem [07:11] nope it's 12.04 [07:11] pobri19_: you don't need a windows disk to install a windows style bootloader if you just want to get windows booting. but it's better to figure out why grub isn't working [07:11] unity? [07:11] nuke and reboot man [07:11] pobri19_: maybe the results of the bootinfoscript as well [07:11] bcbc2: yeah, i feel like it'd just happen again anyway... i'll get a paste for you one min [07:11] plutazion what desktop environment? [07:11] nuke ??? [07:12] I just mean don't try to save a borked install [07:12] How can i format a write proteced drive in ubuntu ? [07:12] Gallium 0.4 on llvmpipe (LLVM 0x301) ??? is my graphics? [07:12] I spent all night on 2 different occasions trying to save an install that was unrepairable due to amd drivers conflicting with 12.10 [07:12] yes i think it is unity [07:12] i mean unity? [07:13] i have amd 12.10 [07:13] ok go into the unity search and enter 'additional drivers' [07:13] when i update 1204 it uses gnome and unity peices [07:13] selena, its a machine specific problem [07:13] a ok [07:13] specific cards [07:14] and like the microphone/hdmi out problems in 12.04 [07:14] ubuntu is great but I've wasted enough time to know that some times it can't be fixed [07:14] my quadro cards and wifi card are not listed in addy drivers [07:15] in linux it can be created/fixed or broken just as easily xD [07:15] um, the cards shouldn't be listed, just the driver module [07:15] do they show up in lspci? [07:16] what modules are listed in additional drivers? [07:17] both the "atmel" and nvidia cards are detected using lspci and lsusb [07:17] selena, I think amd 12.10 is the version of the amd driver, I'm taking about ubuntu 12.10 [07:17] what modules are listed in additional drivers? [07:17] The "atmel" is the blitz modual [07:17] none [07:18] i used wubi installer if that matters [07:18] so you have fancy expensive video cards and you're using nouveau? [07:19] no, the drivers aren't installed yet that i can tell [07:19] the stock driver? if you have regular cards the performance isn't that different but on fancy cards nouveau is shiite [07:19] it's using some compatable thing [07:19] Gallium 0.4 on llvmpipe (LLVM 0x301) [07:19] nouveau is the standard install [07:20] i've had better gameing and rendering in ubuntu over windows...so... as long as it was supported [07:20] these are old pci quadros xD 500/600 [07:20] that gallium is just the rendering engine [07:20] oh, you're probably ok [07:21] ok good to know [07:21] are the network cards old too? [07:21] oh yes [07:21] ok, network card support is pretty broad now [07:21] but for older cards there are those that pretty much just didn't work with ubuntu, I think even with a wrapper [07:22] so if you have an issue I suspedct that is what you are dealing with [07:22] so you are dual booting windows? [07:23] even in a dual boot I still recommend the regular installer [07:25] http://www.nvidia.com/object/linux-display-ia32-310.40-driver.html [07:25] check if your card is in that list [07:25] plutazion [07:26] you can't install from the provider, it must be installed using the software center or something..i have the deb drivers but don't know how to install it and remember it always caused issues...none of the drivers listed in the software center are downloadable...

I'm planning on installing Ubuntu on my mac, but the folks in #apple say: "No linux can control Apple's custom power control chip. You leave the Core-class CPU over-volted and at a much higher risk of failure." Can anyone confirm or deny this? [07:35] I need a second opinion [07:35] spacestationspaz: the problem is this sort of thing happens regardless of whether i fresh install, because that's what i did anyway... so it'll more than likely do the exact same thing [07:35] Linus torvalds is running linux on a macbook air [07:35] bcbc2: checking link out now thanks [07:35] Yes, but that doesn't answer my question [07:36] not unless you have a hardware difficulty [07:36] pobri19_: here's how to boot from grb rescue: http://ubuntuforums.org/showthread.php?t=1594052 [07:36] He's rich enough to afford a new Macbook Air if he fries his old one [07:36] I don't think he's rich and even if he is he's not stupid [07:36] spacestationspaz: i am typing top i shows task manager thing but there are bunch of apps running by root user. i don't want to see it. can i make it invisible or something else [07:37] oh, you want to know if their is an option for top to show only specific user [07:37] spacestationspaz: all users but root [07:37] Good Morning from Germany!

[09:38] no_gravity, My thinking is that booting from an external hard drive should be similar to booting from a USB storage device. [09:38] gabkdlly: i hoped so. but its not booting. [09:39] no_gravity, Oh, well then I am out of my league. Sorry. [09:39] krystianm, hmm, yes, actually... maybe it just removed the headers and I saw wrong?

[09:58] of people saying skyrim has to use wine or winetricks [09:58] is there a way to put i a timed delay before each command in a .sh [09:58] Checksum for /home/nightmare/.cache/winetricks/steam/SteamInstall.msi did not match, retrying download [09:58] therefore i have to reboot and press down key when reboot it [09:58] stan879nz: sure.

[09:59] no i have not yet [09:59] !steam | suna [09:59] suna: Valve have officially announced that they are developing Steam and are working with !ubuntu during their development, see http://blogs.valvesoftware.com/linux/steamd-penguins/ for further details, see https://wiki.ubuntu.com/Valve for install instructions, you can also join #ubuntu-steam for discussion. [09:59] suna: just plain wine SteamInstall.msi [09:59] would i just use a the ping command to set the time delay or is there another command for set_timedelay [09:59] lcabreza: and also sometime after wake up from sleep, wifi does not connect too [09:59] i knew they were doing that [10:00] stan879nz: ping does not set any delay.It pings a network host. For pausing your script, you use "sleep". [10:00] no ive been using winetricks i am very new [10:00] luck: whats your kernel version ? i used to have that issue on the older kernels.. [10:00] to linux [10:00] but i do know alittle bit [10:00] lcabreza: how to cheak kernel version? [10:00] luck : uname -a; [10:00] right. thanks bekks [10:00] suna: Why dont you follow the official instructions then, as just linked to you? [10:00] but i got tired of windows screwing up on me [10:00] was that the ones for steam right? [10:00] lcabreza: i think it is not about kernel ; because after i get update my wifi is not working anymore [10:01] suna: heheh! Windows who ? :) [10:01] suna: do this first : wine --version [10:01] k [10:01] lcabreza: 3.5.0 [10:01] !steam > suna [10:01] suna, please see my private message [10:01] k [10:01] yes i saw that when you posted it [10:01] lcabreza: 3.5.0-25-generic [10:02] but the download time for skyrim [10:02] is crazy [10:02] suna: Then just follow it. [10:02] so like i guess what im saying ill try it [10:02] anyone know about wifi issue? beside lcabreza ?? [10:02] but i was trying too stay away from it so i wouldnt have to reinstall it again [10:02] luck: About which issue?

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 ..." [10:03] bekks: after getting back from sleeping mode [10:03] hey bekks is it called bash scripting? making a .sh start multi things [10:03] bekks: after update [10:03] stan879nz: The file extension is meaningless, and yes, thats shell scripting. [10:04] luck: how about the powermanagement ? have you tried checking if your using the latest one .. [10:04] you dont need a mime to execute [10:04] how do i find out what version of ubuntu im running? [10:04] suna: Type: lsb_release -a [10:04] Actually, perhaps power management settings disable wireless activity when sleeping. [10:04] That would make sense. [10:04] suna: cat /etc/lsb_release [10:04] I'm not sure if they do, but it's worth checking. [10:05] ok i just did that [10:05] and this is what i got [10:05] lcabreza: I have a problem with wifi connecting, I'm running ubuntu version 12.04when i try to wake up from sleeping mode or after i get update wifi is not working [10:05] No LSB modules are available.

[10:10] ok thanks i was just going to try that one as well [10:10] at least ask [10:10] or see if anyone is awake [10:10] suna: Please dont use enter as punctuation sign. [10:10] suna: Welcome to Ubuntu ...say Goodbye to Windows ...ehhehh!... [10:11] what do you mean as a punctuation sign? [10:11] I think using enter as punctuation is quite nice. [10:11] Some even say it [10:11] s easier [10:11] suna: Dont press enter after every few words please, but instead, write full sentences. [10:12] and yes i dont think ima go back to windows when i paid for a brand new 60d hard drive and like 3days later it made it start making clicking noises [10:12] Well that sounds like more of a hardware issue... [10:12] But yeah, stay away from M$ products. [10:12] suna: Thats not a software, but a hardware issue then.

[10:13] That's not a script, but that's how you start scripts :P [10:14] and it costs you a arm and a leg to buy a copy of it when i can use linux for free. [10:14] benbro: you can print to .pdf in ubuntu easily [10:14] also am i doing better with making full sentances? [10:14] benbro: in other OS you need to install that first. but since its a ubunut support channel that is the answer :) [10:14] k1l: ppt to pdf, not pdf to image [10:15] benbro: what are we talking about? ubuntu? [10:16] k1l: yes [10:16] k1l: I want to convert a ppt to pdf on ubuntu [10:16] That's a bit odd. [10:16] benbro: open the "print" dialogue and see there are hardware printers and a pdf printer [10:16] Why do you want a presentation document to a pdf? :P [10:17] i have a problem with my ubuntu one configuration , it ask me to enter my login keyring password, and i do not know what that means, i enter my sudo password, and it do not accept. [10:17] k1l: Rokkross: that's not my question [10:18] I know, it's my question. [10:18] thanks anyway [10:18] I realize if you need the information in multiple formats that it sounds convenient, but presentations in pdf format doesn't sound right. [10:19] /j #tumanako [10:19] woops [10:19] Rokkross: that is not the support issue. maybe he wants to show the presentation slides? [10:19] /msg nickserv identify hunter2 [10:20] Rokkross: I need to convert a presentation to a pdf and I'm asking how [10:20] that's all [10:21] http://www.artofsolving.com/opensource/pyodconverter please google before asking questions. [10:21] Seriously. [10:22] that's just one solution. More suited for converting a crap ton of documents, but it'll suffice for one as well. [10:22] Rokkross: dont do that. dont say people to google theirselves :/ [10:23] Rokkross: seriously, I asked for a tool beside libreoffice [10:23] No no, I realize that there are some problems that need the support of a forum or IRC channel, but I mean... [10:23] am I wrong for expecting people to at least try a bit before asking? [10:23] Rokkross: I'm asking a legitimate question [10:23] Not even try, just look. [10:23] Oh I know it's a question. [10:23] Rokkross: "is there a tool to convert ppt to pdf besides libreoffice?" [10:23] Hello. When playing a game, I need to use shortcuts on a laptop. Like, the 1,2,3 keys. That wont work tho, I need to press SHIFT+1,2 [10:23] Rokkross: be helpful when you want to help. thats all. [10:24] any way I can fix that [10:24] benbro: i said, every program can print anything to .pdf in ubuntu [10:25] benbro: or you use a cli tool like uniconv [10:25] k1l: I'm talking about a powerpoint presentation [10:25] benbro: i know [10:26] k1l: uniconv is using libreoffice or openoffice. I asked for something else [10:26] k1l: please don't answer my question because you don't know the answer. thanks :) [10:26] benbro: :/ [10:26] i stated 2 very easy and correct answers. dont blame me if you dont want to use them [10:28] Hi all. What's the best online tutorial for installing Ubuntu dual boot alongside Win 8 on UEFI machines? [10:29] Hm...I'm not sure. UEFI is kind of tricky. I'm assuming it's UEFI with secure boot enabled correct? [10:29] Rokkross, i don't know yet: my friend is giving me her laptop in a few minutes. [10:30] From what I've heard that presents a problem. That is, enabling secure boot when you want to boot Windows and disabling it whenever you need to boot anything else. [10:30] used the command from this page :: http://www.instructables.com/id/How-to-install-Google-Earth-in-Linux-the-easy-way/ ... but some problem: http://pastebin.ubuntu.com/5598408/ can anyone have a look and tell me what i might to to fix? [10:31] Rokkross, anyway i found that in the download page of ubuntu the UEFI guide is linked directly. [10:31] i'll start from there [10:42] I'm trying to manually add a Windows entry to the Grub 2 config (after my friend borked it) [10:43] Does update-grub not work? [10:43] Windows is installed in /dev/sda5, so what line should I have for set root=(hdx, x)? [10:43] No, I tried update-grub [10:43] Hi [10:43] how do i use SSH in 12.10 [10:43] update-grub does not work, nor does Boot-repair from an Ubuntu Live USB [10:44] akashj87, I'm pretty sure openssh-client is preinstalled [10:44] Sumesh pastebin your grub in chat, they might be more helpfull for you [10:44] away: I think they might mean the server. [10:44] sudo apt-get install openssh-server says package 'openssh-server' has no installation candidate. [10:45] away : I want to SSH to this ubuntu box. [10:45] akashj87: apt-cache search openssh. [10:45] oh [10:45] sudo apt-get install openssh-server [10:46] apt-cache says libssl1.0.0 , ssh-askpass-gnome and openssh-client [10:46] lotuspsychje: Here's my grub.cfg: http://paste.ubuntu.com/5598448/ [10:46] away : sudo apt-get install openssh-server giving me error that it has no installation candidate [10:47] It might be in a repo that you haven't enabled. [10:47] Open up the software center for me. [10:47] I tried adding a custom entry to 40__custom, and the entry shows up on GRUB menu, but it seems to be pointing at the wrong partition [10:47] If you can help me point it to the right partition it'd be great [10:47] Sumesh: Yeah, sorry. I was about to suggest something but I'm not sure what sda5 would be. [10:47] I don't want to cause you more problems by guessing :P [10:47] * Rokkross researches for a moment. [10:47] I mounted sda5, all the Windws files are on it [10:48] Rokkross : i've opened Software center ... [10:49] Here's my fdisk output, if it helps: http://paste.ubuntu.com/5598456/ [10:50] akashj87: Okay, this may not work because I'm only sort of guessing, but it may well be in a different repo. In the menu, open "Edit" and then software sources [10:50] Hello. When playing a game, I need to use shortcuts on a laptop. Like, the 1,2,3 keys. That wont work tho, I need to press SHIFT+1,2 [10:50] any way I can fix that [10:51] Hello, is there a way to list all installed kernel images and headers? [10:51] throu terminal that is === fantaghir is now known as guest4889 [10:51] through* sorry [10:52] Antonis: dpkg -l linux* |grep ^i [10:52] Rokkross : Yeah , but i am sort of newbie ..i have opened software sources [10:52] akashj87: Make sure main (it probably is), universe, restricted (only if you want proprietary software on occasion), and multiverse (restricted through copyright issues) are enabled. That should make most software you need available to you. [10:52] thank you [10:53] would anyone have any idea why intel speedstep isn't working under ubuntu? [10:53] Rokkross : they are enabled. [10:53] Or wait a minute... [10:53] openssh is in main [10:53] I was assuming it was, but um... [10:54] Try running apt-get update. Maybe your package lists aren't up to date. [10:54] You'll probably have to run it as "sudo apt-get update" (without quotes) though. [10:54] Rokkross : okay , it was a fresh ubuntu 12.10 32 bit install in virtualbox [10:55] Right right. I don't care about that. [10:55] akashj87: can you pastbin the command and the output from the terminal, please? [10:56] k1l : sure , as advised by Rokkross running the update ...do you need pastebin of that also ? [10:56] Only if you see errors. [10:57] akashj87: yes, put it all into a pastebin. maybe there is somethiing that gives a hint [10:58] sure guys [11:00] Rokkross : now i got the prompt to download openssh-server :) [11:00] Hi. I am trying to add new mount partitions intu fstab. But after start system writes me that "Partition can not be mounted". I have this in fstab: UUID=580d18ba-2af8-4699-a8dd-c0e123279055 media/disk2 ext4 user [11:00] That's good! [11:01] hi, I know automatic updates are frowned upon, but I need these two ubuntu precise boxes to update automatically [11:01] Make sure you update your package lists on a semi-regular basis. It shouldn't cause problems if you don't, but sometimes it does. [11:01] Rokkross : yeah sure..thanks ...thank you k1l [11:02] I've configured unattended-upgrades but they continually prompt in kde that there are updates and you have to manually apply them and give password [11:02] matelko: /media/disk2 [11:02] Ben64: ok, thank you. Going to try it now. [11:02] bye [11:02] matelko: does /media/disk2 exist? [11:03] kll [11:03] kll: yes - the directory exists [11:03] matelko: and you can test the fstab with "sudo mount -a" no reboot needed [11:03] no reboot? ok. [11:04] k1l - but what to type? I am kind of new into the linux. [11:04] matelko: see what i wrote just above [11:05] k1l - so I just fix the fstab and run the command? [11:05] yes. that will reread the whole fstab [11:06] k1l ahh, thank you. [11:06] My scroll wheel is buggy. Is there a way to see if it's a software or a hardware problem? [11:09] k1l, Ben64 - thank you for your help. It works now. I worked on MS Win and I forgot that "Disk1" and "disk1" is different on linux. :-) [11:12] I've configured unattended-upgrades but they continually prompt in kde that there are updates and you have to manually apply them and give password [11:12] is there a step I'm missing? [11:13] hello guys. My hdd has bad sector and I bougt a new hdd. now i want to move my win7 partition in old hdd to new hdd. I tried Gparted, simply copy and paste partition but it failed cuz bad sectors. Is there an other way to do this? if i use dd bad sectors be problem in new hdd? === Lancien is now known as Lancien_Nouveau [11:14] <_cronus_> ericmcray, you could either use ddrescue or ntfsclone with the rescue option [11:15] /msg NickServ identify 275153 [11:15] cronus: thx.

[11:21] the install window looks totally different, first time ever [11:22] Oh dear. [11:22] that polatov fellow used his actual password when he made that mistake. [11:22] I am seeing some people who recommend installing 11.10 packages on 12.04. Is this supported? [11:22] I probably shouldn't have ghosted him to test. [11:22] hi, my wireless card does not work. i use a HP ProBook 4540s and xubuntu 12.10. lspci says "Network controller: Atheros Communications Inc. AR9565 Wireless Network Adapter (rev 01)" [11:23] the install options dont workl [11:23] And another question: why would it not work? [11:23] when I click on run on usb or install on hard disk, neither functions [11:24] the graphics are different too [11:24] Client01 where are those buttions that u are reffering to [11:24] ? [11:24] invariant: no its not supported [11:24] the old ubuntu font style with dark blue background, instead of that dark cherry color [11:25] is there any program that will keep me logged out of ubuntu for a given amount of time? [11:25] they are on the install ubuntu page that comes first when you run on usb installer [11:25] need this for a productivity kind of thing [11:26] k1l, and why would it not work? [11:27] Invader_: because of depencies. sometimes it works but its not supported [11:27] interesting, it worked now with 12.10 [11:28] Rokkross, suck bitch!

[12:25] Hello, I have a problem installing Ubuntu (EFI mode): it doesn't ask me the installation type (erase&install, install alongside win 8, manual type..), probably because of the raid system etc. But I can't manage to fix it [12:25] cfhowlett: ubottu My conf file : http://paste.ubuntu.com/5598674/ The query I have is- I am not rebooting my server and just doing "initctl start myflask" [12:25] But i don't see any process running [12:26] polatov, I suspect you have configured more than the mbr limit of 4 primary partitions ... [12:26] when I do a status it says - stop/waiting.. [12:26] but gentoo works [12:27] keshav89, this question requires more knowledge than I have. say in channel and ask again ... By the way, if this is a server type issue, see #ubuntu-server [12:27] polatov, you installed ubuntu last ... so that is the one effected [12:27] cfhowlett, what do you mean "vista vintage" MB? [12:27] cfhowlett: ok cool not a problem.. I will ask in come other channel [12:27] lolmaus, I saw the specs on your mobo stated xp/vista compatible ... [12:28] keshav89, sorry I couldn't help but perhaps someone here could. check back [12:28] Hi! I've formatted a wrong disk with fat and need my data back. It was a fat before, and I've written almost nothing to it, and I've tried testdisk already, but it doesn't work for me, it only wants to undelete some files on the new partition. Is there any other way without photorec (that looses all my filenames/folders)? [12:28] cfhowlett, every Gigabyte MB claims that. :) [12:29] lolmaus, ah. ok. so it's not a statement of age? New mobo then. Is this a custom build, by chance? [12:29] how does someone set the execute variable? chown -x? [12:29] on a file [12:29] anyone every installed UEFI dual boot?

[12:31] lolmaus, thinking [12:31] quatar: well, efi and raid is not my business. try to explain with more details maybe someone knows it [12:32] lolmaus, that error stoppage at different points has me stumped. the only time I've experienced such was when I had an un-detected short circuit which eventually killed my mobo. random reboots, that kind of thing ... [12:32] oh [12:32] gotcha [12:32] dr_willis, was doing it wrong [12:34] well k1l, I start in EFI mode as explained [ help.ubuntu.com/community/UEFI ]. Then I run the installation, but it doesn't ask "install on the whole system OR alongside the existing OS OR manually", but directly prompt the partitioning tool which is empty... The same happens to this user: http://askubuntu.com/questions/170204/ubuntu-12-04-install-problems-installation-type-screen-no-options?lq=1 ...

Brasero hangs, winff can't do it, and quite frankly the avconv manpage confuses the hell outta me [12:40] quatar: whats the problem, i just came on channel [12:40] ntzrmtthihu777, look in the software center for video converters [12:40] ntzrmtthihu777: i just use devede to generate a dvd iso i can burn to disk [12:41] cfhowlett: looking more for in-terminal, gui apps have failed me. [12:41] devede failed also, forgot that one. [12:41] I have a disk that reports 2 typesof RAID metadata. Only 1 type is valid. How do I remove the other type safely?? [12:42] ntzrmtthihu777: and the error was? You did click that resize button it has? ;) [12:42] dr_willis: yes, I'll do it again so I can get the error for you. [12:42] run it from a terminal so you can see error messages also [12:43] ntzrmtthihu777, the problem is about dual boot installing in EFI mode... do you have any exper. about this? [12:43] Here is the output from dmraid -n http://paste.ubuntu.com/5598714/ [12:43] ntzrmtthihu777: you made a dvd with it? or tried the divs/mpeg4 option? [12:43] quatar: sorry, nope :( efi == sadface === ZombieShark is now known as LaserShark [12:44] dr_willis: It immedieatly failed. [12:44] dr_willis: and just gave my good old fallback formatjunkie a shot, also fail. [12:47] cfhowlett, i have just succeeded installing it from a freshly burned and verified CD. So it was either a bad CD or i was lucky not to catch the freeze on the fourth try. [12:47] running file on the mp4 yields ISO Media, MPEG v4 system, version 1 [12:47] lolmaus, good job. time to clean the CDburner, maybe?? [12:48] dr_willis: I had used the first option of devede, Video Dvd [12:49] ntzrmtthihu777: the last option juist makes an iso of mp4 files it seems.. heres a commandline it was using... [12:49] pastebin.ubuntu.com/5598736/ [12:50] Hi [12:50] avrelaun, greetings [12:50] Is Ubuntu participating in GSoC this year? [12:50] I'm on a Macbook pro 7.1 13"with 320m [12:50] using ubuntu lts 12.04.2 [12:51] with the live environment using the live cd [12:51] make a dvd fails for me also.. seems some issue with the the python cide. [12:51] the screen backlight keys worked [12:51] how to make lightdm use gtk frontend [12:52] after installing and rebooting, the keys are working in the UI, but the brightness doesn't adjust [12:52] instead of messed up kdm [12:52] cfhowlett, it froze during the first boot! :( The second boot attempt was fine, but the issue seem to be still there. [12:52] the popup appears and everything [12:52] but nothing else [12:52] cfhowlett, i've got two pairs of RAM modules from different vendors installed. Can this be the cause? [12:53] dr_willis: will that option create a dvd that works on a portable dvd player? [12:53] lolmaus, at least you're up and running. I've had much better success with USB than cdrom ... [12:53] Hi! Ubuntu freezes when my wireless connects or disconnects. And sometimes it crashes [12:53] hi [12:53] ntzrmtthihu777: devede does not burn.. it just generates the iso files [12:53] lolmaus, "should not" be an issue, but ... ? [12:54] I have a disk that has 2 types of RAID metadata on it. I need to remove one of them. How? http://paste.ubuntu.com/5598714/ [12:54] dr_willis: well you knoe what I mean, lol. will the dvd resulting from the iso work on portable dvd players. === ericab is now known as ericab_away [12:54] how to make lightdm use gtk frontend [12:54] cfhowlett, well, i'll keep a monitor attached to the machine for the first week and see how it goes. Hope it's all right. If it keeps failing, i'll try to remove one set of RAM and change the video card (currently some old cheap nVidia). [12:55] lolmaus, hope everything is as smooth as a baby's behind ... [12:56] ntzrmtthihu777: should. [12:56] ntzrmtthihu777: unless its so old it cant read the cd-r/disks you burn [12:57] cfhowlett, thx and bye ^_^ [12:57] any guide for pgpool2 and ubuntu? [12:57] also for some reason my USB disconnects [12:59] onto: Let me guess; You want to know why? [12:59] usr13: Yes, and fix it hopefully [13:00] onto: Are you talking about a USB flash drive? [13:00] onto: Or...........? [13:00] usr13: no any usb (usb mouse, usb charger) [13:01] onto: What do you mean by "disconnects"? Does it just stop working? [13:01] Yes, exactly [13:01] After how long? [13:01] Is there a certain length of time? [13:01] I don't know, I need to restart to check [13:02] onto: Well, I don't have a clue, maybe someone else here does, but one thing you might do is monitor the syslog [13:02] tail -f /var/log/syslog [13:03] ok [13:03] what about the freeze on wireless connect/disconnect? [13:03] sms with usb modem??? [13:03] Is Ubuntu participating in GSoC this year? [13:03] When something quits working, you might get a clue. [13:03] onto: "freeze"? [13:04] hi, when I suspend, my notebook immediately wakeup. Some lines on screen indicate that some devices failed to suspend, but it just flashes, I can't read anything. Is it possible to get the log of the suspend creen somewhere ? [13:04] onto: Tell me about the freeze. [13:04] usr13: Yes, the everything freezes mouse doesn't respond caps and num locks don't light up. And if I'm too persistent it crashes. [13:04] would anyone have any idea why my CPU throttling isn't working under ubuntu? [13:05] onto: "it crashes"? The whole system locks up? [13:05] usr13: yes, I can't even go to the other terminals [13:06] onto: There again, syslog should give a clue. You may need to watch it from outside, (a ssh session from another PC on your LAN). [13:06] usr13: ok, will try [13:06] Hi, i cant install my ubuntu. It keeps loading after i click on continue on the second step (choose for updates and MP3 support) [13:07] But even if you are on the local PC, as long as you can still see the GUI terminal that is monitoring syslog, you should get some sort of clue. [13:07] Dragon707, install without those items. you and add them later. [13:07] onto: Tell me about this PC. CPU RAM VIDEO,etc... [13:07] saimanoj, only thing I could find on GSOC '13 http://www.linux-support.com/cms/ubuntu-developers-valorie-zimmerman-planning-for-google-summer-of-code/ [13:07] I have a problem with multiple RAID metadata on one of my disks. I'd like to remove *some* of it. Can anyone guide me? [13:08] cfhowlett: Ok, thanks. I will try that :) [13:08] cfhowlett: Thanks [13:09] usr13: it's a toshiba satellite c650d [13:10] usr13: let me google the specifications [13:10] i want to be able to search all *.jpg files in my system and copy them all in one directory.. could someone please help with the command [13:10] onto: Oh it's a laptop? Could it be overheating? [13:11] onto: 320.0 GB - Serial ATA-300 - 5400.0 rpm ? [13:11] usr13: it's at 47 degrees currently -- and earlier I had no problems with it going 70 degrees. [13:11] the wireless problem has always been there but this usb-issue started randomly today [13:11] onto: What version of Ubuntu do you have installed? [13:11] usr13: yes [13:12] usr13: 12.04 [13:12] onto: Is it fully updated? [13:12] usr13: no [13:12] onto: sudo apt-get update && sudo apt-get upgrade [13:12] usr13: slow internet :( [13:13] onto, I'd go one step further ; sudo apt-get dist-upgrade [13:13] cfhowlett: Why? [13:13] isn't 12.04 LTS? [13:13] onto: Yes [13:14] cfhowlett: I think we should stick with fixing what we have. [13:14] first.... [13:14] usr13, to get package updates/additions since the 12.04 release. Just my preference... [13:14] dr_willis: [13:14] how can i use two network interfaces using 12.10 inside virtualbox ...such that one is available for host only networking and other for internet so that when host is connected to internet, guests can also connect. [13:14] dr_willis: Error while opening encoder for output stream #0.0 - maybe incorrect parameters such as bit_rate, rate, width or height [13:14] onto: You need to get it updated. Then see if you still have problems. [13:15] akashj87: you just need to set up one. I forget the exact setup but a connection between host and guest will give guest internet. [13:15] usr13: ok, will do so [13:15] onto: Ok. Let us know. [13:16] ntzrmtthihu777 : in virtualbox i have setup two interfaces for Ubuntu, one host only , and other bridged , but still when i connect to internet, the ubuntu guest cant access ... === benlu is now known as exogen [13:16] akashj87: what are the host and guest [13:17] ntzrmtthihu777 : host : mac osx 10.7 , and guest is Ubuntu 12.10 [13:17] akashj87: no experience with mac, sorry [13:18] ntzrmtthihu777 : np, but i wanted to know if my ubuntu ifconfig shows me two interfaces, how can i use one for internet [13:18] akashj87: not a clue. it "just worked" for me. [13:18] akashj87: So what is the bridged one for? [13:19] usr13 : my router is on 192.168.1.1 , so bridged is for when host is plugged in [13:19] dr_willis: I think my video files may be mislabeled. [13:19] akashj87: Well, I don't understand your situation. Sorry. [13:20] usr13 : all i want to do is that i want the VM's and host to be connected ( done using host only networking ) , and VM's to be available for internet when host is plugged in. [13:20] currently host can access internet [13:20] but VM's are not able to [13:21] akashj87: I don't understand "when host is plugged in". [13:22] usr13 : I dont have "always on" internet connectivity ...so bridged does nt work for me ... [13:22] akashj87: ... plugged into ___________________? [13:22] usr13 : en0 interface on host (mac) [13:22] akashj87: Well, it sounds to me like you need to set it up so that it IS "always on". [13:22] does any one know the command line to see blocked connections ??? [13:23] dakotawulfy: What do you mean by "blocked connections"? [13:23] usr13 : oh ok ..but anyway i can configure ubuntu to use both interfaces ? [13:23] like host only for vm communications and other for accessing internet [13:23] dakotawulfy: sudo iptables -L [13:23] dakotawulfy: But what you may be wanting is tcpdump. [13:23] well like what u would see in firestarter [13:24] firestarter not show it any more [13:24] akashj87: Yes, you should be able to. [13:24] Hello guys. can somebody give a example of blocking all trafic for a specific linux user when he goes over 100gb upload or download [13:25] I have a problem with multiple RAID metadata on one of my disks. I'd like to remove *some* of it. Can anyone guide me? [13:25] usr13 : i had modified /etc/network/interfaces for that ..but even then for outside links it cant seem to use that interface [13:25] dakotawulfy: I don't know how you've got them blocked, but depending on how the iptables rule is written, you may or may not be able to see anything. Depends on if it is logged or not. [13:25] dakotawulfy: Because the point of blocking something is so that you do not see it. [13:25] ok [13:26] akashj87: Does ifconfig see it? Can you set an IP to it? Can you then ping that IP? [13:26] usr13 use to work in firestarter to show up blocked connections but now i dont see any now [13:26] dakotawulfy: .... well not exactly that you don't see it, but that would be a side effect. [13:28] dakotawulfy: And by seeing the blocked connections, I'm not sure what you are talking about. Are you talking about IP addresses, or the actual traffic that you are blocking, (the connection attemps or...?). [13:28] yes [13:28] dakotawulfy: And I'm also not understanding why this is not a function of your router? [13:28] in firestarter it use to show that [13:28] dakotawulfy: Your firewall needs to be on the router. [13:29] go one on it [13:29] got one on it [13:29] dakotawulfy: Ok then, that is where the blocking needs to be done. [13:29] NVidia proprietary driver was installed by default [13:29] on ubuntu 12.04.2 [13:29] how can I switch back to nouveau ? [13:30] I've uninstalled nvidia proprietary [13:30] avrelaun: rm /etc/X11/xorg.conf [13:30] so the reason they are not showing up in firestarter is that it is blocked from my router ??? [13:30] avrelaun: or just mv it [13:30] like when i played smokenguns use to show blocked connections [13:30] dakotawulfy: Yep. [13:30] usr13: there is no /etc/X11/xorg.conf [13:31] dakotawulfy: If the router blocks it, you sure-enough won't see it. [13:31] avrelaun: Then you are already using the OpenSource driver. lsmod | grep veau [13:33] usr13: The 3d effects are broken on unity and gnome shell [13:34] usr13: mesa or dri missing ? [13:34] avrelaun: grep Driver /var/log/Xorg.0.log [13:35] usr13: Yes, it's Nouveau [13:35] usr13: no trace of mesa/dri [13:35] avrelaun: Ok then, you'll not have 3d etc. [13:36] usr13: I cannot use 3d on nouveau ? even for just desktop ? [13:36] why the hell to folk want that resource hog of unity-3d? may as well use windows aero [13:36] avrelaun: http://nouveau.freedesktop.org/wiki/ [13:37] hii can someone help me?

[14:12] rogier: check your keycuts === Frazzle is now known as Frazzle[Away] [14:12] The i7 mac mini is very different to the earlier ones. [14:13] hoo [14:13] It's in there [14:13] haa [14:13] quatar: go ahead and do it from the working install if you can boot it, the guide assumes a non-bootable ubuntu [14:14] ntzrmtthihu777: It's in there, somthing else mst be wrong [14:14] rogier: how strange [14:14] ntzrmtthihu777, okay. Strange, anyway. [14:14] ntzrmtthihu777: Maybe just install the whole thing again. Start clean. [14:15] Was thinking to switch to a ad-free distro anyway. [14:15] rogier: that's a windows mindset. you are on a macbook wit ubuntu, right? from what I read thats tricky [14:15] rogier: ad? [14:16] Maybe i got some pirate version or something. Got the iso from tpb. But there's like affiliate links to amazon and things. [14:16] Frazzle, samba is excellent, even for linux [14:16] even if you didnt have WIndows [14:17] rogier: the amazon plugin is on by default, you can turn it off [14:17] No it's a normal HP laptop. I have a mac at work to play music and stuff [14:17] rogier: may be a good idea to re-install then, you never know what may have been stuck into an unofficial iso. [14:17] Mac sucks big time bye the way. [14:17] But the amazon affiliate links are normal? [14:17] rogier: just uninstall the amazon shopping lense and you are done [14:17] rogier: but as auronandace says, you can turn that off. [14:17] rogier: yes, that's normal [14:18] Strange [14:18] k1l: he is under gnome, anyways, so why would he se the affiliate links? [14:18] he is not using unity? then he is making things up [14:18] rogier: i disagree with it being on by default but that's what canonical decided and i'm glad you can turn them off easily [14:19] k1l: doubt it. rogier do have skip-screen installed in firefox? [14:19] rogier: above questoin [14:19] Yes i haven seen it since i switched to gnome now i think about it. [14:19] Skip-screen? [14:19] rogier: its a firefox addon, and if you install it carelessly it will give you the links [14:24] hi people [14:25] i mounted a file system into /mnt when i want to write into it say: cannot write permission denied . i did the samething in debian but in there it gave me no error and just did my order. what the problem is? [14:25] hello mvt007geek [14:25] chmod +R [14:25] mvt007geek: You dont have permissions to execute your order. [14:26] bekks: why ? how can i fix it? [14:27] to get write access to a drive other then the one you boot from you need to chmod +R /media/drivename [14:27] Micheal: i did.still the same problem [14:27] Micheal: thats +r [14:27] what group are you in [14:28] +R is Write [14:28] and really +w [14:28] Micheal: read "man chmod" please [14:28] mvt007geek: what filesystem? [14:29] Hi, I would like to 'upgrade' my 32 bit installation with a 64 bit one. My /home folder is on its own partition. What would be the best way to make this change? [14:29] ho appena eseguito un boot-reepair. In fondo mi dice "non dimenticare si impostare la priorità di avvio nel BIOS al file sda3/EFI/ubuntu/shimx64.efi " [14:29] che intende!? [14:29] threex5: The only way is a reinstallation. [14:29] is there a command line to convert an mp3 to wav? [14:29] threex5: you cannot upgrade 32->64 bit, you have to do a fresh insall [14:29] install [14:29] uh sorry for the language! [14:30] bekks, llutz, that's fine. I would assume all my dotfiles would be compatible with a 64 bit os so I should be able to keep my home partition intact [14:30] threex5: easy. install the 64 bit install, but do not use your home partition. after install edit your fstab to mount your /home partition [14:30] llutz: yaffs [14:30] hello === chandler_ is now known as Guest45620 [14:30] ntzrmtthihu777, couldn't I just use my /home partition during the install process, but not format it? [14:30] lesshaste: lame --decode foo.mp3 [14:31] threex5: I tried that once, but I think it overwrote my home folder because I used the same user name [14:31] my biggest concern is the amount of time it would take to uninstall all the programs I don't want, and then reinstall all the ones I do [14:31] threex5: the installer has an option to keep /home untouched, to be sure i'd backup things before [14:31] llutz, nice! thanks [14:31] threex5: no escaping that, programs get installed to / not / in general [14:31] */home in general [14:32] ntzrmtthihu777, how possible is it to get a list of installled packages and just running it once the new os is in? [14:32] !clone | threex5 [14:32] threex5: To replicate your packages selection on another machine (or restore it if re-installing), you can type « aptitude --display-format '%p' search '?installed!?automatic' > ~/my-packages », move the file "my-packages" to the other machine, and there type « sudo xargs aptitude --schedule-only install < my-packages ; sudo aptitude install » (this may cause problems with multiarch before 12.10) - See also !automate [14:32] sudo apt-get remove [everything I don't want] install [everything I do] [14:33] like ubotto said [14:33] Howdy all [14:33] ubottu, thank you. [14:33] BluesKaj: Hi! [14:35] ntzrmtthihu777, llutz, does ubottu's solution work when going from 32 to 64 bit? [14:35] usr13: the usb is working so far for no apparent reason, still upgrading [14:35] threex5: if you install the 32 bit libs in your new machine it should be no issue. [14:36] threex5: erm, new install [14:36] quit [14:36] ntzrmtthihu777, ok, but that seems to semi-defeat the purpose [14:36] i would want the corresponding 64 bit versions of those packages [14:37] on a 64 bit ok [14:37] *OS [14:37] threex5: some programs only exist as 32 bit, and apt-get should choose the best match. === mani is now known as Guest50290 [14:38] ntzrmtthihu777, when you say it should choose the best match, does that mean that if a 64 bit version is available, apt-get will probably grab that version? [14:38] threex5: ubuntu is multiarch. means you install "package" and it chooses the right 32bit or 64bit package [14:39] k1l, ntzrmtthihu777,great. Thank you [14:40] unless you have a app that is 32 bit and install it manually [14:41] threex5: yest. [14:41] threex5: how much ram do you have, anyways? [14:41] what distros are we using today [14:41] im using ubuntu [14:42] ntzrmtthihu777: that is not a matter of ram [14:42] Micheal: as this is #ubuntu I think most of us are, or some variation thereof [14:42] i can't find ZyXEL wifi drivers in synaptic or software wizard? [14:43] true, but most are and could use more then just ubuntu [14:43] k1l: unless I am mistaken a 32 bit system can only handle 4gb of ram, so installing a 64 bit system on only 4gb or less of ram seems pointless. [14:43] Micheal: do you need any help? [14:44] ntzrmtthihu777: there are PAE kernels on 32bit. that infomration is outdated long time [14:44] !ot | Micheal [14:44] Micheal: #ubuntu is the Ubuntu support channel, for all Ubuntu-related support questions. Please use #ubuntu-offtopic for other topics (though our !guidelines apply there too). Thanks! [14:44] is there a good [14:44] youtube downloader? [14:44] that works [14:44] I tried fatrat [14:45] but somehow doesnt download [14:45] k1l: is that so?! awesome.

[14:46] pypo: youtube-dl [14:46] I installed it too [14:46] but not tried yet [14:46] forgot among others :) [14:46] ntzrmtthihu777: from 12.10 onwards pae is enabled by default on 32bit machines [14:46] pypo: literally the best one available. [14:46] ntzrmtthihu777, 4gb [14:47] hi, I am still having trouble with installing ubuntu 12.10 64bit on my new ssd. the installer fails with (The 'grub-efi' package failed to install into /target/. Without the GRUB boot loader, the installed system will not boot.) and then if I try to install grub by hand (grub-install --boot-directory=/target/boot/ /dev/sda) I get this: http://pastie.org/6430135 [14:47] i'm running 12.04 [14:47] auronandace: k1l: but my question was not about 32 bit using more than 4gb ram, but about the benefit of using 64 bit on only 4gb ram. === jagger is now known as jagger|away [14:47] the bot said this might have problems with multiarch before 12.10 [14:47] ubottu !automate [14:47] Ways to automate installation of Ubuntu on multiple machines are described at https://help.ubuntu.com/12.04/installation-guide/i386/appendix-preseed.html - See also !cloning [14:47] k1l: auronandace: is there any benefit of 64 bit if you only have 4gb ram. [14:48] ntzrmtthihu777: _one_ advantage was to have more than 4gb ram adressed.. its not the only advantage [14:48] ubottu !cloning [14:48] To replicate your packages selection on another machine (or restore it if re-installing), you can type « aptitude --display-format '%p' search '?installed!?automatic' > ~/my-packages », move the file "my-packages" to the other machine, and there type « sudo xargs aptitude --schedule-only install < my-packages ; sudo aptitude install » (this may cause problems with multiarch before 12.10) - See also !automate [14:48] Hello. [14:48] is the command line like this: ":user@user:~$youtube-dl url" ? [14:48] threex5: you don't have to address ubottu to do a !, just do it. === maxx is now known as Guest72273 [14:49] pypo: youtube-dl -h will explain it. [14:49] I believe the file ubuntu-12.10-desktop-amd64.iso on http://ftp.stw-bonn.de/ubuntu-cd//quantal/ is corrupt. [14:49] tried and proved true. [14:49] threex5: and its better to point it at yourself like cloning > threex5 so it shows in your pm and does not flood the channel [14:49] downloads now, thank you very much! [14:50] toidinamai: try another mirror [14:50] The checksums don't match, were as the size and timestamp match. [14:50] toidinamai: then download from releases.ubuntu.com [14:50] oh I see. thanks. [14:50] Obviously, but someone should fix it. [14:50] Were do I log a bug or some such? [14:50] toidinamai: is that an official mirror? [14:50] Yes. [14:50] It linked from ubuntu.com. [14:50] I have an Ubuntu VM which I SSH to. I am told that I have exceed my disk quota. When I type "quota" at the cmd line though nothing comes up. Is there another way I can view my quota and usage? [14:51] I agree with ntzrmtthihu777 download the iso from ubuntu and get down with it [14:51] toidinamai: its not for sure that the image on that server is broken. maybe just the transfer to you was corrupt [14:51] k1l: I downloaded three times just to make sure. [14:51] IHateHavingToReg: Whats the exact message you get? [14:51] could not create ./games/year_2010/month_04/day_29/gid_2010_04_29_chamlb_texmlb_1/: Disk quota exceeded [14:52] IHateHavingToReg: ask the hoster [14:53] k1l: you did not answer my question. is there a point in upgrading to 64 bit if your current system addresses all your ram [14:53] wouldn't quota take care of that for me? [14:53] ntzrmtthihu777: Not using 64bit just wastes resources, by leaving them unused. [14:54] Hello everyone. I have succesfully installed Ubuntu EFI alongside Win 8 EFI (secure boot working). THe GRUB entry for ubuntu works properly, thw ones for Windows do not (can't find image file etc). I ran Boot Repair (from inside ubuntu), now all my GRUB entries are different frome before but still Ubuntu works, Win 8 doesn't. What should i do? [14:54] bekks: his only resources are 4gb ram, I just wanna save threex some trouble [14:54] Ok, so nobody cares that an ISO on an official mirror might be corrupted? [14:54] ntzrmtthihu777: And a 64bit capable CPU isnt a resource from your point of view? [14:55] Hey does anybody here have experience with RAID? [14:55] bekks: true, but what benefit would it be? [14:55] ntzrmtthihu777: its better on big integer calculations like in encryption/decryption, media converts, grafical calculations. and alot of other stuff from task managment etc [14:55] bekks: this is my question. [14:55] mr_sausage: I bet someone does. Why dont you just ask what you really want to know? [14:55] bekks: k1l: so it can math better? [14:55] ntzrmtthihu777: if you are interessted go and read it. this is not really the topic in ubuntu support [14:55] excellent! [14:55] ntzrmtthihu777: It outperforms a 32bit CPU in almost all uses cases. [14:56] does anyone know to remove duff metadata from disks using dmraid? [14:56] Also is this the correct command to recursively compress all files in the games directory into a single gzip file? ~/test$ gzip -r games/* [14:56] does anyone know how can i download xwinrap for my ubuntu 12.04? [14:56] hello, are there people that run Ubuntu on Mac, so yes, virtual or native? [14:56] mr_sausage: Whats "duff metadata"? [14:56] bekks: disk has 2 types of metadata on it somehow. one type is valid, the other is not [14:56] and less you think I'm being contrary, I'm not. I am just genuinly curious about the benefits. [14:56] !mac | streulma [14:56] streulma: For help on installing and using Ubuntu on a mac, see: https://wiki.ubuntu.com/MactelSupportTeam/CommunityHelpPages [14:57] ntzrmtthihu777: to explain every single advantage (like you are asking for it) would not suit into this support channel. that is a sidetopic [14:57] auronandace: that's not my question, the question is if I would do or not do, and how, I prefer virtual [14:58] k1l: I'm done, lol. I did not want every benefit, just wanted to know if there was one. [14:58] ntzrmtthihu777: There are many. [14:58] bekks: i have pdc mirror but one of the disks also has ddf1 metadata. dmraid prefers the ddf1 metadata and ignores pdc so considers the mirror to be broken [14:58] streulma: that page addresses exactly what your question was [14:58] auronandace: I know how to do it native, but don't want native [14:58] ntzrmtthihu777: let me tell you short: there is no reason not to take 64bit besides your hardware cant handle 64bit [14:58] virtual would be best [14:58] mr_sausage: Whats "pdc mirror" and what are "ddf1 metadata"? [14:59] streulma: what's wrong with using virtualbox then? there is no difference to how it works in windows [14:59] bekks: pdc and ddf1 are both types of software RAID supported by dmraid [14:59] k1l: alrighty. I was more thinking are there reasons to take 64, no not take it. opposite, like [15:00] ntzrmtthihu777: There are only disadvantages of not using 64bit, basically. [15:00] bekks: gotcha. [15:01] 64 is the way to go if your hw supports it =) [15:01] The new one [15:01] I went 64 even though I only had 4gb ram because I intended to upgrade ;D === _siracs_ is now known as siracs [15:02] win$ is still in the dark ages on this, aren't they? eg 32 bit can only handle 4gb ram? [15:02] 能用中文么，， [15:03] ntzrmtthihu777: Without PAE, 32bot linux cant handle more, too.

[15:03] on Windows. [15:03] Mokilok: yeah, I've seen that. [15:03] bekks: oh so its not default? [15:03] ntzrmtthihu777: No. [15:03] ntzrmtthihu777: At least it wasnt. [15:04] bekks: shall i go back to asking who knows about RAID? [15:04] toidinamai: ok i checked the image myself and the md5sum is corrupt. the http://ftp.stw-bonn.de/welcome.msg states an email adress where you can submit that issue [15:04] bekks: so you gotta get the pae kernel yourself, then, deleberatatly. [15:04] ntzrmtthihu777: The last time I used 32bit, was about in the 90s. [15:04] Phantom === Phantom is now known as Guest81185 [15:04] mr_sausage: No. Thats a meta question. I bet someone knows it. Just ask what you want to know. [15:05] ntzrmtthihu777: from 12.10 onwards 32bit kernels are pae enabled by default [15:05] ntzrmtthihu777: As far as I know, the default in 12.10 is PAE. [15:05] bekks: i have but it seems rather pointless to ask if no-one in the room is an *expert* and as you can see, it's quite a detailed question [15:05] mr_sausage: quite frankly I'm irritated enough to figure it out for you. you have 2 metadata, 1 is right, but cant get rid of of the wrong one. [15:06] ntzrmtthuhu777: yes [15:06] mr_sausage: And because it is pointless, please dont ask wether someone knows about raid, but just ask your, detailed, question. [15:06] ntzrmtthuhu777: i think i know how to remove the wrong metadata, but I could do with some guidance to ensure I don't trash my RAID set [15:06] mr_sausage: You should backup first then. [15:07] i am back [15:07] bekks: yes - thanks for that === jose__ is now known as jose_CO [15:09] bekks: it's a mirror so there is another copy, but i'd prefer not to have to rebuild because of a wrong command [15:09] can i change linux A with ubuntu without reformating [15:09] vincentS: No. [15:09] vincentS: no [15:10] thank u [15:10] mr_sausage: you know which physical disk/partition the metadata is on? [15:11] SloarisBoy: sda, sdb both have pdc metadata; sda also has ddf1 metadata [15:11] how to make KDE accesible icon disappear from applet range? [15:12] SloarisBoy: I want to remove the ddf1 metadata from sda... so I thought: dmraid -r -E -f ddf1 /dev/sda [15:12] right [15:12] and what occurred? [15:12] i haven't run it yet... wanted a 2nd opinion [15:13] that seems right - atleast the -r -E portion if -f is the format metadata you want to delete that would seem correct also - [15:13] accidentally when installing I installed grub on a windows partition, need to remove it, how can I do it [15:13] ? === Zou is now known as Gurty [15:14] ok... so here goes... wish me luck [15:14] aleza84 u can run the windows tool it should put it back [15:14] at the end of the day you have to rebuild from the good side of the mirror if it doesn't work - [15:14] aleza84: take the windows cd and use fixmbr [15:14] doesn't sound like a bad deal - especially if you have a backup of your data - and you indeed want the metadata gone - doit.

[15:32] mr_sausage: suspend the ddf1_44656c6c202020201028001510281f0235e69547e81a389b [15:32] kiarespond: no, you have to tell your apps to use tor (socks proxy at port 9050) [15:32] kiarespond: I have ran tor in the past, and there are a few sites that do not allow access from the tor network [15:32] llutz, alright, thanks for the help [15:32] SolarisBoy: How would I do that? dmraid -an and then dmraid -ay -f pdc ?? [15:32] ntzrmtthihu777, i am aware of that. [15:33] kiarespond: and with tor running I was able to access those sites through firefox [15:33] dmsetup suspend ddf1_44656c6c202020201028001510281f0235e69547e81a389b i would guess not quite sure [15:33] ntzrmtthihu777, that's because firefox is the best! thanks [15:33] sudo ofcourse [15:34] llutz, How would I go about setting that up? The socks proxy at port [15:35] kiarespond: depends on your apps. firefox has an option in network-settings for that (you either want to install torbutton if using ff) [15:35] i think ultimately if you want to cleanly remove it you can use dmsetup remove ddf1_44656c6c202020201028001510281f0235e69547e81a389b which should leave the two pdc metadata's from both pieces of your mirror - despite it may be marked dirty still [15:35] llutz, alright, thanks for the help [15:36] however the suspend may give a clue before the final action mr_sausage - [15:36] kiarespond: this might be interesting for you too https://trac.torproject.org/projects/tor/wiki/doc/TransparentProxy [15:37] kiarespond: or just use the tor-browswer from their site. its a modded firefox to work seamlessly with tor [15:37] llutz, alright I'll look at it [15:38] kiarespond: just be warned, tor is slow. so if you route all your traffic through it, you have to be very patient.... [15:38] Anyone see my question ^ 5 mins ago ??? [15:38] redtape-renegade: nope, whassup [15:38] llutz, ok. [15:38] OH Man I just trashedmy system .. I ran all the commands on this page for pdnsd [2nd one down].. but I have no internet now .. http://askubuntu.com/questions/22750/best-way-to-set-up-dns-caching [15:38] SolarisBoy: OK.. suspend /dev/mapped/ddf1_... results in no output [15:39] llutz, But do I have to use the system proxy or manual proxy settings? [15:39] kiarespond: depends on what you want to do. if you just want to browse some sites via tor, just setup your browser to use tor [15:40] mr_sausage: more importantly would probably be the exit code unless you enabled some verbosity/debug [15:40] mr_sausage: try a status command and see if it is suspended [15:40] -vvv suspend shows status SUSPENDED [15:41] cool - try the other commands you were typing that got the bad output - [15:42] still lots of bad output. i'm going to go for the dmsetup remove [15:42] sounds like whats needed - [15:43] redtape-renegade: ubuntu does dns caching by default - afaik === alpha is now known as Guest98404 [15:43] it sets up dnsmasq to listen locally on port 53 and sets your resolver to localhost - it puts whatever you get from dhcp as your upstream dns in dnsmasq [15:43] if you removed it - maybe you broke that process of network manager setting it up - did you try to ping a public IP like 4.2.2.2 to confirm its not dns related [15:45] SolarisBoy: Hmmm... doesn't look to have removed it. still got a node in /dev/mapper/ so I'm going to reboot [15:45] mr_sausage: ok [15:45] mr_sausage: see you when you get back [15:46] different box [15:46] still alive here :) [15:46] lol [15:48] I want to recursively spider a directory and compress all the files. However doing this command gzip -r games/* >data07_09.gz creates a file with 0 KB size. What am I doing wrong? [15:48] IHateHavingToReg: get rid of the > [15:48] yea [15:48] nope. still there [15:48] mr_sausage: =( [15:49] i got nothing then - probably the dd would do it but like i said - assumes you know start/end of the metadata [15:49] is there anyway to get dmraid to reveal where it found the metadata? [15:50] seems like its trying to int he first post you showed - but i can't confirm that [15:50] Is this it: http://paste.ubuntu.com/5599236/ [15:52] DDF1 Header at 0x866b5b8 [15:52] seems to be [15:53] google around about using dd to delete it - cause i see a few entries anchor which seems to somehow point to the header(s) [15:53] can I dump that out using dd to verify? it seems that header value of 0xde11de11 should be easy to spot [15:55] sure [15:56] :D Any idea how? ;) [15:57] ntzrmtthihu777: thanks, trying that now [15:57] IHateHavingToReg: no prob. [15:58] mr_sausage: the arg seek=HeaderStartPoint would bring dd to that offset on the disk [15:59] ok... i shall have a play [15:59] mr_sausage: be careful =) [16:00] dd if= is the output, right? ;) [16:00] histo, i have notoriously problems with downloading articles form websites. i want exactly that article including images for offline reading. no less, no more. however, scrapbook (firefox) doesnt do exactly what i want. any recommendations of ubuntu packages to perform the described task? [16:00] pilsa: wget -pk url will do you [16:00] wget mirror option? [16:00] ntzrmtthihu777, i try that, one moment [16:01] SolarisBoy: wget is an awesome thing :) [16:01] ntzrmtthihu777: sure is =) [16:02] ntzrmtthihu777, however for downloading many articles a gui interface would be better. so, i have a site with links to 20 articles and then i want to download those articles including te pictures. [16:02] if it's a JS site - you may have issues.. [16:02] with whatever you use [16:02] pilsa: no, with a carefully executed wget you will have it all. [16:03] pilsa: I've done quite a few of these myself. [16:03] ntzrmtthihu777, ok [16:03] pilsa: the exact opposite is true, to download (or do anything repetative) en bulk cli is always the way to go. [16:03] pilsa: wget --mirror http://your.site.com/articles -o /home/me/articles.web [16:03] pilsa: could you direct me to the site [16:04] SolarisBoy: or you could just do wget -m, no need for the long option. [16:04] i love long options for some reason [16:04] wget -pkm then the rest. [16:04] feels more weighted down lol [16:05] ntzrmtthihu777, one moment, i check out the wget man page ... [16:05] good idea. [16:05] thx [16:05] SolarisBoy: heh, I always go for least amount of keystrokes. besides using the one letter options makes me seem more a wizard to my windows-using associates. [16:05] ntzrmtthihu777: zsh command complete is kick booty.. [16:06] oh-my-zsh +1 [16:06] ntzrmtthihu777 okay so I took out the > and just used gzip -r games/* data07_09.gz, however the data07_09.gz file is still empty. Any other suggestions? [16:06] SolarisBoy: o rly [16:06] IHateHavingToReg: :/ lemme try it on something. [16:07] IHateHavingToReg: thats not how gzip works [16:07] IHateHavingToReg: You cant gzip a directory. [16:07] IHateHavingToReg: gzip -r games/ [16:07] he wants the contents [16:07] IHateHavingToReg: tar cvzf data07_09.gz games/* [16:07] IHateHavingToReg: that will compress EVERY SINGLE FILE in that dir [16:07] IHateHavingToReg: tar cvzf data07_09.tar.gz games/* [16:07] IHateHavingToReg: That will create a gzipped tar ball. === torpet is now known as torpet|away [16:07] IHateHavingToReg: you might want to use : tar -cjf backup.tar.bz games/ [16:08] ups, bekks was faster [16:08] ntzrmtthihu777: when i tab on -- i get all my options per line like '--force -- force overwrite' with ncurses like select menu - (oh-my-zsh) default - so in effect i never type the opts just select them most i type is -- [16:08] hello [16:08] SolarisBoy: interesting. [16:08] SolarisBoy: bash-completion does nearly the same [16:08] thanks [16:08] why isn't there alternate installer media images for 12.10? [16:09] llutz: very true and with tweaking exactly the same - but zsh's is way easier to enable [16:09] :O [16:09] SolarisBoy: true [16:09] stupid question: who owns a symbolic link? I just made one with ln -s ... to a directory that's owned by Mr. "HelloWorld321" and the link says that it is owned by Mr. "root" [16:09] SolarisBoy: bash completion is default [16:09] HelloWorld321: the owner of the file the symlink links to [16:09] ntzrmtthihu777: so it zsh [16:09] ntzrmtthihu777: i will admin zsh default completion is horrid [16:09] meisth0th: not a clue, its not there :/ [16:10] *admit [16:10] I've heard pretty shite things about wubi [16:10] alternative installer was discontinued for 12.10 [16:10] is wubi worth it [16:10] :O [16:10] boxmein: Please don't flood; use http://paste.ubuntu.com to paste; don't use Enter as punctuation. [16:10] boxmein: i suggest avoiding wubi [16:10] SolarisBoy: I thought you meant you have to turn on bash [16:10] *completeion [16:10] FloodBot1 please... [16:10] no - its there by default as long as you have bash-completion installed on most distro's [16:10] ntzrmtthihu777, does ubuntu-server have a lot of packages? i want to build my server from scratch [16:10] Is there a sensible chmod to make to a new soft link? Right now, it shows as "lrwxrwxrwx 1 root root", which feels somewhat insecure? [16:11] !mini | meisth0th then you want to use this [16:11] meisth0th then you want to use this: The Minimal CD image is very small in size, and it downloads most packages from the Internet during installation, allowing you to select only those you want (the installer is like the one on the !Alternate CD). See https://help.ubuntu.com/community/Installation/MinimalCD [16:11] boxmein: no, because if you ever decide to switch to a full ubuntu you cannot do this. [16:11] ntzrmtthihu777: what do you mean by full ubuntu? What does wubi do differently? [16:11] there are ways to convert a wubi install to a real install.. sometimes they even work.... ;) [16:11] HelloWorld321: you cannot change ownership/permissions of a symlink, they inherit those from the source-sfile [16:11] I'm just trying to avoid wasting a disk [16:11] llutz, that's the exact thing i want, thanks. [16:11] HelloWorld321, the better way to think about symlink ownership is to realize that the symlink doesnt exist [16:11] boxmein: wubi installs in a FILE on your windows drive.. it uses windows to boot itself. [16:11] boxmein: if windows dies.. your wubi can die also. [16:11] boxmein: its still taking hard drive space, may as well give it its own partition. plus who knows how windows fragmentation will affect it. [16:12] Hi Ubuntu guys.... I pluggued an IDE drive on an installed machine, it shows up in BIOS but i don't get an associated /dev/sdX :( ... I can't see anything in kernel logs either.. Is there something I'm supposed to modprobe or install to get proper IDE support :/ , [16:12] that makes sense [16:12] ?* [16:12] hdX* [16:12] Fira: not really. its possible the hd is dead/semi-dead [16:12] HelloWorld321, directory is a set of hard links to inodes. ie it is a table of pointers to the beginning of a file/directory. that file beginning has ownership information [16:12] Fira: an ide drive will show up as /dev/sdX [16:12] dr_willis: i hope not, because i tried 3 of them <.<' [16:12] Fira: try executing fdisk and see if you get it there [16:12] Fira: sudo fdisk -l [16:13] HelloWorld321, a symlink doesn't have an inode and just gets the path shoved into it, so there is nothing to own. you can manipulate the entry in the directory table or the target path [16:13] hahahahaha dr_willis that's my mistake i was looking for /dev/hda x.x' [16:13] thanky <.< [16:13] Fira: Years ago there were hda. [16:13] Next off, is getting to the tty from Gnome viable? [16:13] Fira: use sudo blkid to scan for the disks [16:13] I don't want to say possible because it's obviously possible [16:13] but viable [16:13] boxmein: easily [16:13] boxmein: CTRL+A+F1 [16:13] boxmein: ctrl+alt+f1 [16:14] Ah.. [16:14] sorry - i meant alt =( [16:14] i use screen to much [16:14] SolarisBoy: screen rox [16:14] escott: sure does a symlink have an inode [16:14] ntzrmtthihu777: sure does =) [16:15] Prepping my HDD for it then [16:15] llutz, it will, but it acts like it doesnt [16:15] boxmein: if all you need is a console.. use virtualbox and install lubuntu in it.. [16:15] boxmein: or a server install in vbox [16:15] I have an arch system set up from zero in virtualbox already [16:16] And an XP system next to it [16:16] boxmein: so why are you messing with wubi? [16:16] I considered it since I didn't want to waste a DVD, but I guess live installing is better. [16:16] llutz, ie im saying there is no content in a symlink (its just a path) so it acts like it doesnt exist [16:16] I wanted to know if it made sense to install via wubi [16:16] boxmein: make a live usb... [16:16] ntzrmtthihu777, i have network trouble, i have to fix this first, thanks [16:17] dr_willis: I don't have a pen drive large enough [16:17] boxmein: best is to avoid wubi if at all possible. [16:17] a minimal iso can fit on a rather small usb [16:17] you dont have a 2gb usb? [16:17] HelloWorld321, to clarify im saying it acts like it doesnt have an inode, because it has no content [16:17] I have a 2G and a 16G one with the 16G one storing data I am not keen to shuffle around [16:18] SolarisBoy: dd if=/dev/sda of=/root/data skip=1953525167 count=1 [16:18] I have spare DVDs around so that isn't that large of a problem [16:18] SolarisBoy: and it's gone :) [16:18] Learning of the pros/cons of different opportunities was important to me [16:19] To find out whether there was an easier yet equivalent way of doing ubuntu [16:19] And I found out what I needed [16:19] wubis main pro is it uninstalls as a windows app does... [16:19] boxmein: you know you don't need a dvd for ubuntu, a plain cd will work fine [16:19] everything else about is a con. ;) [16:19] 12.10+ needs a dvd for the desktop [16:19] dr_willis: more reason to hate it then :/ [16:19] ntzrmtthihu777: I used DVD as a placeholder for the word disc as to not confuse it with disk/HDD [16:20] ntzrmtthihu777: yea.. we should all be locked down to a silly 700mb limit... lets go back to floppys! [16:20] 8Track tapes. ;P [16:20] dr_willis: yes, lets become the bloated behemoth that is windows! [16:20] Punched cards! :O [16:20] i did this to erase the block: dd if=/dev/zero of=/dev/sda1 seek=1953525167 count=1 [16:20] >implying ubuntu isn't bloated for linux [16:20] ntzrmtthihu777: windows restore set here was 3 DVDS full..

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 ..." [16:26] ... [16:26] it's a bit mean isn't it [16:26] boxmein: no, its efficent. premade message to get the point across quickly. [16:27] Um, I'm using Network Manager, and I have Ubuntu 12.04, I think? [16:27] I [16:27] I'm not sure what other details I can give [16:27] hdwhite: what kind of machine you using. [16:27] A EEE Pc [16:27] hdwhite: which one. [16:27] hdwhite: i would remove the passcode, try and see what is actually failing.. could be you have entered the password incorrectly [16:28] No, the passcode is correct [16:28] Seashell series? [16:29] I've typed and retyped the passcode for the current wireless network as well as other ones [16:29] hdwhite: as precise as you can get would be best. It might be under your laptop or something [16:29] 1005HA? [16:30] is there a program that can display a quick assessment of the speed/capabilites of a cpu? Or maybe a good, small benchmark gui? [16:30] compdoc: yes. software center should have one, I forget what mine is called. [16:31] I only see a Microsoft Certificate of Authenticity underneath the laptop [16:31] compdoc, lscpu [16:31] cool, I'll try that [16:31] hdwhite: fair enough, it seems that the Seashell series is just one model anyways [16:32] hdwhite: very strange, I had one and used lucid puppu linux on it no problem with wifi [16:32] I haven't had an issue with it until recently [16:33] hdwhite: then you changed something. [16:33] I have no idea what that would be, though [16:33] Running of a USB stick at the moment. Will it be faster if i install to hard drive? It's a 5400 rpm laptop drive. [16:34] rogier: it should be faster, not much, but .. [16:34] rogier: yes === circ-user-HqI43 is now known as jsebean [16:34] I can connect to my apartment and school WiFi without any problems, but I tried connecting to my parents' WiFi (and a neighbour's) for the first time and it's stuck on "Connecting" [16:35] hdwhite: have you been able to connect to said networks with this machine before with the same setup? [16:35] Apparently, it's stuck on "getting IP configuration" [16:35] Yes [16:35] hdwhite: are you in control of that network? [16:36] I am for the one at my parent's at the moment, though it seems to be more of an issue on my end [16:36] How can i add my liquid dispenser to ubuntu? It only has a winXP driver CD! [16:36] hdwhite: are other machines able to connect freely right now? [16:36] rogier: whut? [16:36] Yes [16:36] Can i control my liquid dispenser with Ubuntu? [16:37] rogier: what do you mean a liquid dispenser? [16:37] being really extremist you probably can if you write your own drivers [16:37] hdwhite: finally i guess did it work before on that network for you? [16:37] Yes it did, a few months agoi [16:37] but that's for non-lazy people, [16:38] While it's just like any old liquid dispenser accept it's controllable with a computer over USB. It worked fine under winXP but i don't get it to work under Ubuntu. [16:38] interesting - hdwhite are you using an existing profile for that wifi net or are you selecting it as a new network in nm? [16:38] because ubuntu doesn't have drivers [16:38] rogier: might you try running it via Wine [16:38] rogier: again, what the hell are you talking about, liquid dispenser [16:39] I'm selecting it as a new network right now [16:39] It does not dispense wine. [16:39] they have automated liquid dispensers in the google office bathrooms. like that? [16:39] * ntzrmtthihu777 facedesks [16:39] Wine is a program that runs windows stuff on linux [16:39] it does only stuff to some extent [16:40] when it comes to emulating hardware - especially proprietary stuff it's probably not going to cut it @wine [16:40] Why would one want a liquid dispenser in the Bathroom? It seems like a strange place to get drunk. Especially in the office. [16:40] if the device is generic with a generic interface start by plugging it in and seeing what it's recognized as [16:40] rogier: he means a soap dispenser [16:40] rogier: it dispenses soap... [16:41] I think -he- means some sort of multi liquid self service tower [16:41] who's liquour comes from a dispenser and not a glass bottle anyway. [16:41] weird [16:41] beer maybe...

Then there is the long tube you hold in you mouth and then on the computer you choice what kind and how much liquor you want. And then it gets pumped into your mouth. So that you dont have to get up while gaming and things. [16:42] i figured that was common [16:42] rogier: seriously :O [16:42] lol [16:42] But the driver cd is only for windows.

[16:50] hdwhite: it really depends on when it spits that out - long story short if your IP layer is hanging - what do you have it configured to do dhcp or a static IP? [16:50] Right now, DHCP [16:51] hdwhite: if it's doing dhcp which it probably is - it indicates a problem elsewhere - if you say other machines work and not yours - perhaps there is a stale lease or something very common of those home routers people - have - which all points at trying to reboot the router and then trying back [16:51] I might give that a shot, though I'd be surprised if it's on their end [16:52] hdwhite: have you tried the 'sudo dhclient wlan0' ? [16:53] hdwhite: you can also try this to confirm - switch to static and use an unused ip and re-connect to that wifi net [16:54] It doesn't spit out anything [16:54] ok fine - try and switch to a static IP you know is unused and on that wireless network range - and reconnect [16:54] Actually, looking at the iwevent output, it gives out an access point/cell address, but then 45 seconds later, it says it's not associated [16:55] sounds like you need to check the router [16:55] hi all - just did an update on 12.04 and now dbus can't start X… I am using xbmc and usually use "xbmc-standalone -- -layout LayoutTV [16:55] or maybe that at the worst case your driver doesn't like whatver access method is enabled - which is another cause of that off/on never connected thingy afaik [16:55] -- but you said it worked at one point. [16:55] I get the following error: * (FEH.py:3064): WARNING **: Command line `dbus-launch -- utolaunch=1e3f82181774c2cda0a965cd000002d5 --binary-syntax --close-stderr' exited with non-zero exit status 1: Autolaunch error: X11 initialization failed.\n [16:55] Error: unable to open display [16:56] FEH.py: cannot connect to X server [16:56] but if I do xinit xbmc-standalone -- -layout "LayoutTV" it works fine [16:56] How would I do that with Network Manager? It seems to want me to put in a Gateway, a Netmask, a DNS Server, and a Search domain [16:56] so I think it is a ubuntu / dbus problem not an xbmc problem [16:56] hdwhite: yea - thats a static conf [16:56] how can I figure out why the dbus-launch is failing? [16:57] What should I put in for all that stuff? [16:58] hdwhite: gateway is generally the IP of the AP people put as the .1 addy on their network as a general thing but it doesn't have to be - netmask's tend to be /24 on home netorks - doesn't have to be - dns server generally is provided by your ISP and in some cases folks behind nat routers use their nat router as the dns resolver - search domain generally isn't needed unless you are on your own .domain and constantly contacting other m [16:58] hdwhite: all to say - go on another working machine be it windows/linux and do ipconfig/ifconfig respectively to get an idea of your network if you dont know now.

[18:21] Arbok, how would we know? [18:21] shwaiil, have you checked the smart status of your disks with gnome-disks? [18:22] escott:Oh, I assumed there would be a default setting that would work [18:23] Arbok, the reason we have permissions is because there isn't one single permission that works for all files.

[18:31] Hawkerz, the mount option "discard" uses ATA TRIM as part of normal operation, fstrim is something that happens outside of normal operation [18:32] yeah, so I suppose the question is: are the two mutually exclusive (or at least interchangeable?) [18:32] anyone knows how to get run ati 4650 on u 12.04 lts , pls [18:32] Hi, for every window, at the bottom panel I see three tabs for each. How can I prevent this? [18:32] Hawkerz, you can use both [18:33] Datz: what DE and OS are you using ? [18:33] Hawkerz, a use case for fstrim would be if you were repartitioning [18:33] mjayk: it [18:33] <_T> dcc [18:33] escott, is it necessary? I just read something about discard causing serious performance hits -- I suppose I'm overthinking it for my desktop machine but is there a best practice for day to day usage? [18:33] Datz: Not heard of that one :) [18:33] Hawkerz, that is something that very much depends on your hardware [18:34] mjayk: it's gnome classic "gnome session fallback" and 12.04 [18:34] I am not repartitioning, but a separate article advocated absolutely not using discard and instead putting fstrim in a daily cron [18:34] Arbok, thats not at all helpful details [18:34] mjayk: haha, very funny :p [18:34] Hawkerz, which would be good advice for some hardware [18:35] so, which factors on the hardware side are in play? [18:35] CDMA usb modem problem. Can't connect with network-manager. Works with wvdial. syslog: http://paste.ubuntu.com/5599692/ [18:35] Hawkerz, how fast it can trim :) [18:35] mjayk: it seems that my three monitors I have hooked up put everything onto one desktop [18:35] I've managed to remove the extra panels, but now the tabs I'm unsure of [18:36] escott, no clue -- I just ran fstrim for the first time in my entire life a few hours ago [18:36] I'm only using one monitor though - mjayk [18:36] hey - I have a non-pae cpu and downloaded the mini.iso as described as a workaround. now, when trying to put this iso on a usb I can't select it. When ever selected from file menu dialog the upper field keeps staying empty - what could i do? [18:36] it took quite awhile, but there it is I suppose [18:36] Hawkerz, welcome to the wild world of SSDs :) [18:36] wannado: what cpu is that? [18:36] PII? [18:36] so is there any strategy behind figuring this out? or just kind of, try things and see if I experience performance degradation? [18:37] Datz, I suppose - it is an old thinkpad [18:37] Hawkerz, it depends on how the firmware is implemented, i would be very skittish about using something like fstrim [18:37] wannado: Ah ok just curious [18:37] hmmkay, but you would be more comfortable with discard? [18:37] Hi I need help with networking in ubuntu 12.10. After an update my wifi connection does not complete, it asks for passcode continuously! [18:37] mjayk: I guess I'll just try to remove and readd the panel again [18:38] Datz, actually it is a Pentium M [18:38] Hawkerz, you can run benchmarks or look for benchmarks online. newer firmwares have gotten better with ATA TRIM as more people use discard and stress the TRIM mechanisms with small discards [18:38] interesting [18:39] final question -- is it actually worthwhile to mount swap with noatime? [18:40] Hawkerz, the reason i trust discard over trim is that discard trims individual blocks as they are deleted by the VFS layer. fstrim has to read and parse an active filesystem to identify blocks that can be trimmed. there is a risk that it identifies a block to trim and then a new write allocates that block. i dont know how they can prevent that [18:40] Hawkerz, swap doesnt use atim? [18:40] yeah, I found the advice pretty puzzling [18:41] mjayk: looks like removing and readdijng the panel worked. I see what the problem is now. The windows list applet was also added three times [18:41] meh....fuck IRC [18:41] escott, reference: http://wiki.debian.org/SSDoptimization#Mounting_SSD_with_noatime_and_discard_options_etc. [18:41] wannado: ok, I just couldn't think of the last cpu without pae [18:41] Hawkerz, with some older firmwares trim took the firmware a long time to complete and stressed the firmware, so a single bulk trim from fstrim at midnight was better than forcing the firmware to continually discard [18:41] hmmm I actually meant discard, not noatime [18:42] but discard as a mount option leverages the firmware properly? [18:42] Hawkerz, discard and noatime is what i use [18:42] Hello guys , is there a way to connect to a second vpn server when i am already connected to another, with network manager ? [18:43] Hawkerz, ATA TRIM is the hardware command. both discard and fstrim use ATA TRIM [18:43] escott, cool, I'll give that a shot...have you found it necessary to store um...what seems like everything under the sun in tmpfs ? [18:43] on ram [18:43] in* [18:44] Hawkerz, well nothing gets permanently stored in tmpfs, but if you have the RAM its the fastest filesystem for temporary usage [18:45] Hello. How can I find out what the "correct" logical-block (LBA) size is for my 3TB disk? [18:45] yeah, just wondering how crazy to go with it... [18:46] mr_sausage, it is probably a 4k disk pretending to be 512b [18:46] sorry everyone [18:46] escott: it's a 4k disk for sure and dmesg shows it as 4kib physical/512b logical [18:47] escott, thanks a lot for the input, the internet was leading me astray :) [18:47] escott: my question really is, is 512-byte logical correct? [18:48] mr_sausage, that is how you address it yes. the fact that is in fact a 4k is a fact needed to be properly aligned for best performance [18:49] Does xsetwacom on a wacom intuos5 in Ubuntu fully work? [18:50] escott: indeed. my problem is that when i boot into windows, it's using 1024-byte LBA and not 512-byte. Hence the question - which OS is reporting the LBA correctly? [18:50] LBA size* === Neo is now known as Guest81324 [18:50] mr_sausage, i have never heard of a 1024b block size [18:50] hello huys [18:50] guys* [18:51] when you have information coming from windows as well as linux, you should probably assume windows is lying [18:51] mr_sausage, windows has been the main reason everything pretends to be 512b because old versions of windows don't even know how to work with anything that isnt 512b [18:52] I've not found any evidence of linux reporting 1024-byte for this drive either but that doesn't prove that linux is using the correct value. [18:52] mr_sausage, are you confusing filesystem block size with disk block size? [18:52] no [18:52] have you googled the model number to find technical specs? [18:53] mr_sausage, i dont know where linux gets the data that it is 4kb [18:53] i am new linux user so tell me more about it ;) [18:53] hi all [18:54] so gdisk on windows is telling me 1024/4096 logical/physical [18:54] hey kain [18:54] I am new at Linux [18:54] Guest81324, try #ubuntu-offtopic [18:54] me too kain! [18:54] gdisk on linux is telling me 512/4096 [18:54] both report the correct disk size [18:54] haha, really cool though. [18:54] but linux sees twice the number of LBA blocks [18:54] mr_sausage, perhaps the firmware of the disk has some weird way to tell the OS a different size if it recognizes the OS can support a different size [18:54] well its ok-ok tho [18:55] It's just that my windowy mind doesn't quite get all the linux stuff yet [18:55] mr_sausage, perhaps newer versions of windows can support 1024 and so the firmware tells windows 1024 if it sees that version of windows. they probably dont bother to test that with linux and just report 512 in all cases [18:55] what kind of linux do u have?

The correct block for GPT is LBA1!! [18:56] Guest81324, this is Ubuntu support, not chit chat. try #ubuntu-offtopic for chat [18:57] mr_sausage, aint it sweet when your hardware starts lying to you [18:57] ohh sorry :) [18:57] ubottu thanks, nicely pre-emted my question :) [18:57] Kain_: I am only a bot, please don't think I'm intelligent :) [18:57] escott: something is lying but i'm not sure what, or who to!!! [18:58] mr_sausage, well 1kb logical blocks are not even supported on windows at all according to http://msdn.microsoft.com/en-us/library/windows/desktop/hh848035%28v=vs.85%29.aspx [18:58] mr_sausage, have you googled the model number to find technical specs? [18:59] SunStar: I'm just doing that now... [19:02] Seagate's website could be a lot better organised! [19:05] I like to start little web servers on boot. I've been using upstart, but often my scripts fail, causing important services like sshd to fail to start. What's a safer way to do this? [19:05] !upstart | preyalone [19:05] preyalone: Upstart is meant to replace the old Sys V Init system with an event-driven init model. For more information please see: http://upstart.ubuntu.com/ [19:07] Is there a simple soultion for alt+tab problem in gnome classic x64, ubuntu 12.04 lts? [19:08] ePax: Which problem? [19:09] bekks, alt+tab is not working. [19:11] SunStar, escott: it's definitely a 4k format disk. Interesting that Windows is using an unsupported size for the LBA. I think that answers the question: the correct size is either 512 or 4096 so 1024 must be wrong [19:11] Can I make linux use 4K LBA? [19:12] mr_sausage, well you are starting to see some of the difficulties with making a unilateral decision like that :) [19:12] sure, it will break everyone's GPT! [19:13] mr_sausage, the linux VFS has no fixed block size and could use 4kb, but it has to be in sync with your windows, so for that reason the switch hasn't been made [19:13] is it a kernel option or something like that? [19:14] right now i have to convince windows to use something other than 1024.... 4k seems like the modern choice! [19:14] so if I can convince linux to use 4k too... happy days! [19:14] rsync -v.... "connection error." Gee, thanks for the verbose diagnostics [19:14] mr_sausage, there are two older articles on this http://lwn.net/Articles/377895/ and http://lwn.net/Articles/322777/ [19:14] mr_sausage, i would try to get your hardware to just stop lying and report 512b to both [19:15] but surey 512 is a lie too! ;) [19:15] mr_sausage, or just return the piece of junk because no firmware author should be so stupid as to report 1kb [19:15] 512 is a lie that everyone expects so its the best supported lie [19:16] hi [19:16] hey folks, following a postgresql tuning guide. it says to apply the following to the kernel tag of Grub reservation,nodiratime,noatime , but what file do i place this in ? [19:16] is LBA reported? i have a feeling it might be calculated [19:16] mr_sausage, the problem would seem to be that it is reporting different values to the two different OSes [19:16] can you pls have a look in here? [19:16] i can't find the grub.conf file [19:16] http://twixzo.de/profil.php?id=22248 [19:17] where do i modify the grub boot parameters [19:17] * Marcs1989 waves. "Hello.

[20:54] sudo swapoff a [20:54] Hawkerz: what do you mean when you say when you want to see command output you pipe it to less? is that a command? [20:54] is version 7 still supported?

[20:56] that was my next question. and scroll up and down? [20:56] I haven't deleted /dev/sda10 [20:56] ronalds, although it sounds like sda10 doesn't exist [20:56] ubuntunoob222345, yup -- it might be a solution to your problem [20:56] ronalds: can you show a "sudo fdisk -l"? (L at the end) [20:56] are *-source packages supposed to compile and install themselves?

It's not nice to new users! [20:58] how do i mark a program as trusted [20:58] I could use it for hibernation, before I disabled it [20:58] I used to be able to pass the command "install auto=true priority=critical url=http...myurl" [20:58] in order to run it [20:58] by the way, whats the syntax for me to message you (such that when i message you your name shows up as orange and you hear a beep)? [20:58] but now it says "invalid or corrupt kernel image" [20:58] rogier, we don't know what errors your talking about, but we didn't put them there -- certainly I didn't experience errors after installing ubuntu [20:58] rogier, ask an actual support question. this is NOT the complaints / rants channel [20:58] I'm trying to make a bootable usb of of a windows.iso with WinUSB, but the program gives me an "installation failed", the error is that my "directory is not special block" what is that and how can I fix it? [20:58] Could anybody help me with that? [20:58] ubuntunoob222345, you just have to say my nickname, Hawkerz [20:59] ronalds, you can try and swapon /dev/dm/crypt/whatever the device is, but unless things have changed encrypted swap cannot be used for hibernation [20:59] but how did I hibernated before that [20:59] I will try [20:59] oh cool, sorry mine is complicated. ubuntunoob was taken ;) thanks again, Hawkerz [21:00] sudo swapon /dev/dm/crypt/dev/sda10 [21:00] swapon: /dev/dm/crypt/dev/sda10: stat failed: No such file or directory [21:00] though i see tab complete works here too! woohoo! #ircwins [21:00] no problem -- if you're using a normal IRC client you can just type the first few letters and hit tab and it will autocomplete nicknames [21:00] yah [21:00] :) [21:00] How do i override permissions for a program??

[21:02] ikonia, it says 503 - user #503 [21:02] john38: ok, so that looks like the user got removed [21:02] john38: where are the files located ? [21:03] anyone know of any industry approved hardening guides for ubuntu server 12.04 (nist, sans, etc..) [21:03] ikonia, i dont know i did a file search upper right hand corner it gave me results so i clicked excutable [21:04] ikonia, dont know what folder its in [21:04] what's the name of the file, john38 [21:04] ronalds, you need to look around. its a dmcrypt device so something like /dev/dm or /dev/crypt something [21:04] ikonia, this is a tar.gz file that i downloaded then converted to deb using alien [21:04] general advice question. what [21:04] john38: alien is for rpms [21:04] john38, alien is for rpm [21:04] what's the best / most cost effective way to improve the performance of an older laptop running ubuntu?

[21:08] Georgy: hard to tell until you reveal the issue [21:08] Georgy, ask a real question first [21:09] hi. can anyone point in me in direction on how and what is stored in ram? i'm looking particularly at such use case: provided i have a dump of memory, what can i do with it? how do i see what's going on? can i try that on my local machine (i think i should be able to access contents of my host's memory via /dev or /proc, right?)? [21:09] bazhang, im building another one and i set the "use the reserved space" option higher.. [21:09] bazhang, i use the startup disk crator correct? [21:09] Hello! [21:09] john38: sorry, I'm not shre what your actually asking [21:09] john38: sorry, not you [21:09] janisozaur: I'm not sure what you are actually asking [21:10] janisozaur: what is stored in ram will depend on your machine and what you are doing [21:10] hmm [21:10] when I try to hibernate [21:10] not authorized [21:10] ikonia, i installed it but i dont know how to locate it in filesystem [21:10] bazhang, it says creating a persistance file...whatever that means. [21:10] ikonia, /usr/bin ..../usr/share ....where would it be?? [21:10] john38, creating a deb. is not the same as installing it [21:10] So, i downloaded Ubuntu 12.10 and burnded to a dvd-rom. I run the setup, it says i need to restart my pc, thats what i did, so when i restarted i had to choose between Win7 ( Current) or Ubuntu, i picked Ubuntu, and i get a black screen, so i was thinking i need to wait or somthing, i waited over 20 min, and nothing happend, anyone who can help ? === giovanni is now known as Guest27200 [21:11] !nomodeset | Georgy [21:11] Georgy: 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.

[21:12] janisozaur: memory allocation, that's a tough "big" question. [21:12] john38: what was your actual question, I didn't see it [21:12] janisozaur, you need to understand the difference between process virtual memory and main memory [21:12] janisozaur: are you talking about real time acces ? [21:13] janisozaur: are you talking kernel space or user space ? [21:13] ikonia, read up [21:13] john38: no [21:13] janisozaur, the kernel can do whatever it wants with how physical memory is managed [21:13] ubottu, i dont get the Ubuntu Screen, it just gives me straight away a black screen + i dont have a new grapich card, my pc is 5 years old [21:13] Georgy: I am only a bot, please don't think I'm intelligent :) [21:13] escott: surly thats the point of kswapd [21:13] Ohh come one [21:13] on* [21:13] Any ideas on where to find an industry standard hardening guide for ubuntu server 12.04?

Thoughts? [21:14] janisozaur, within a process' virtual address space there is a standard structure with stack/heap/environment and shared libraries [21:14] twist3d: as there is no such thing as "standard [21:14] twist3d: it's based on situation and experience [21:14] true.. i guess recognized would be better [21:14] Guys, anyone else with a solution :( ? [21:14] Georgy, read the nomodeset links [21:14] Georgy, read the thread you got linked to [21:14] twist3d: ok - there is no recognized, it will depend on situation needs and approach - which is normally put in place by experience [21:15] hey guys, why does it say that my usb device is not a "regular file or block file"? [21:16] Bazhang, Hawkerz, i read it, and like i said, i dont get the Ubuntu Startup screen, it give me straight away a black screen, and i cant write anything down :( [21:16] ikonia, rgr, thanks.... looking for something to append to my conops so its just not ... "I think its secure" =) [21:16] simon_____: because it's not - what are you doing to get that message [21:16] ikonia, where do executable files usually reside in [21:16] ikonia, im not programmer === sid__ is now known as Sidd [21:16] ikonia, escott: i am looking at a box, that i expect runs linux. i have not much more information now, but there are ram modules which i could access (as in connect an external device and read them, while the system is off - literally freezing the memory) [21:16] john38: /bin or /usr/bin [21:16] Georgy, how are you using IRC if you can't get on the internet? [21:16] ikonia, ok i'll check [21:16] janisozaur: finding out if it's linux and what version is the first point of call [21:16] janisozaur: uname -a will give us a clue as to what's going on [21:16] ikonia, trying to write an iso to it [21:17] simon_____: how... [21:17] Hawkerz, i am on win7 now ? [21:17] Georgy, so how would our instructions be any more helpful than the instructions already printed on the web if you can't write them down and thus can't use them? [21:18] What do you mean ? [21:18] ikonia: would love to :) have to find serial port first. and find out what chip is actually used :P. since the recommended filesystem for storage is ext3 and internal flash (contains only minor configs) is pretty linux-ish i believe it actually runs linux [21:18] how to decrypt swap partition [21:18] ? [21:18] janisozaur: no point with any further discussion then [21:19] ikonia, i'm using WinUSB, following this guide: http://www.webupd8.org/2012/01/tool-to-create-windows-usb-install.html using the commands provided [21:19] janisozaur, so in that you will see the image of the kernel and whatever else the kernel is using the ram for. how that is structured i dont really know [21:19] Georgy, we gave you a link that provides a likely fix...I'm not understanding why you are writing that off [21:19] simon_____: which device are you pointing it at ? [21:19] Hawkerz, i read the whole topic, it isnt a solution for my problem ? [21:19] ikonia, woah, nevermind, it's the iso that's the problem === Guest27200 is now known as tailwind [21:20] Georgy, is the ubuntu machine dual booting with your windows machine or can you boot it right now? [21:20] ikonia: yeah, i guess. oh well, i think i'll come back whenever i might have more information. thanks anyway [21:21] Euhm, it give's me 2 options when i start up 'Windows' Or 'Ubuntu' but if i pick Ubuntu, it gives me a black screen [21:21] and i cant write anything [21:21] ok this seems rediculasly hard [21:21] ikonia, this is what I get as the error, Error: iso '/home/simon/Windows7' not found or not a regular file or a block file !

[21:35] :o [21:35] I have a problem with my ubuntu one configuration, i've just start configurations and it asks me to enter my login keyring [21:35] Erghhh it is installed [21:35] but cant boot it [21:35] Georgy: But you installed it using wubi? [21:36] yes [21:36] i did [21:36] Georgy: Then you cant delete Windows. [21:36] Georgy, then you can't delete windows.. [21:36] I have a problem with my ubuntu one configuration, i've just start configurations and it asks me to enter my login keyring, but it does not accept my root password [21:36] Well i dont mind that, i just want to boot Ubuntu :( [21:36] I have a problem with my ubuntu one configuration, i've just start configurations and it asks me to enter my login keyring, but it does not accept my root password, what can I DO?

[21:39] It is on a dvd rom ? [21:39] i thought you used wubi [21:39] or you are saying you already burned it [21:39] Well it says wubi.exe [21:39] in my dvd rom [21:39] when i open it [21:39] i alreade burned it yes [21:39] Georgy: Then its wubi - thats not a live cd,.

I'm having these strange graphical problems. http://i.imgur.com/DqHYtVL.jpg I'm using gnome on 12.10. It sometimes goes away after a while and usually picks a different letter. SO far I've seen A, I and S get replaced with.. Whatever that is [21:42] Anyone have any idea on why that happens_ [21:43] bekks, it only gives me 1 download option, and i already downloaded that ? [21:43] As in, picks a different letter each relog/restart [21:43] Georgy: You downloaded wubi. Thats not a live cd. [21:43] hmmmm....I actually have a question -- can someone recommend a good tmpfs size for jumping off from? I have 8gb ram [21:44] http://gyazo.com/3ef10e607d8aef18d57a6653b28740d2 [21:44] This is what i downloaded [21:44] and burned [21:44] yes, that is not an ubuntu install cd [21:44] as we said [21:44] Well, i cant find the install cd [21:44] Georgy: Then please read the link you were given above. [21:45] Allright i see the problem [21:45] So [21:46] Georgy, http://www.ubuntu.com/download/desktop [21:46] A few months back i did indeed downloaded the ubuntu thing, to run in windows. But i didn't use it, since then i got that windows or Ubuntu thing where i can choose, BUT today i indeed downloaded the live cd not the wubi [21:46] yes, but the cd you burned is not a live cd [21:47] so boot from the dvd Georgy [21:47] dont open it in windows [21:47] rather, the files you snapshotted for us are not a livecd [21:47] Should i delet that wubi, that i got few months back ? [21:47] anyone know how to bind a "Fn" key to a "ctrl" key? [21:48] Georgy: Backupa ll the files you need after reinstalling Ubuntu. Then just boot the dvd and install Ubuntu. [21:48] Okay [21:49] Well if anyone could tell me where that live cd it ? [21:49] is* [21:49] Georgy: You said you downloaded it. [21:49] Georgy, we told you many times now [21:49] It should be in your hand currently. [21:50] well i cant find it :( [21:50] Georgy: Then follow the link you were given above to get a new one. === muellisoft is now known as Muelli [21:50] http://twixzo.de/spiel.php?id=22248 [21:51] !torrents | Georgy [21:51] Georgy: Quantal can be torrented from http://torrent.ubuntu.com/simple/quantal/desktop/ubuntu-12.10-desktop-i386.iso.torrent or http://torrent.ubuntu.com/simple/quantal/server/ubuntu-12.10-server-amd64.iso.torrent depending on your needs.

Download a live cd/dvd, and start the installation as has been told you about 5 times now please. [21:52] Georgy, boot from the dvd [21:52] ok now im feeling stupid [21:52] bekks, man i NEVER had wubi omg, i alway had the live cd [21:53] seriously [21:53] bekks: there is no wubi dvd. wubi.exe is a program on the live cd [21:53] indded [21:53] finally [21:53] bcbc2, thanks [21:53] omg [21:53] lol what's up [21:53] Thanks for telling bekks that [21:53] just tried this from the webpage here http://www.pendrivelinux.com/creating-an-ubuntu-live-usb-from-cd/ [21:53] * brontosaurusrex cries [21:53] and it is basically giving me the exact same problem [21:53] Georgy: Well, then finally start now... [21:54] I CANT [21:54] Georgy: Why not? [21:54] i explained it like 3 times now ? [21:54] Georgy, lose the caps [21:54] Cause it gives me a black screen [21:54] booots just fine..but it is still the install disk and will not let me install software..am i missing something here. [21:54] Georgy: Boot from the live cd. Not from wubi. [21:54] it doesnt boots fine [21:54] Georgy: what graphics card do you have? [21:55] Allright, other thing how do i delet that Ubuntu, at the start up of my pc ? [21:55] exit [21:55] Georgy, the wubi installation can be removed using windows add/remove programs utility [21:56] Hawkerz, allright ill try [21:56] Allright i removed Ubuntu [21:56] cool [21:56] so now its on my cd [21:56] Should i work now ? if i restart pc ? [21:57] yep, if you reboot with the cd in the drive it should load up and walk you through the installation process [21:57] Georgy: Boot from that cd. It was on that cd before, too. [21:57] And how do i choose to boot from cd ? [21:58] Georgy, if it doesn't automatically boot from the cd you can always enter the bios at boot time and alter the boot order [21:58] Okay [21:58] But [21:58] http://paste.ubuntu.com/5600276/ do you know what's the problem? [21:58] AHCI/Raid mode cant boot [21:58] usually i think it's f2 to do that, [21:58] how do i know if i have ti ? [21:58] ir [21:58] Georgy: keep it simple [21:58] Georgy: Please don't flood; use http://paste.ubuntu.com to paste; don't use Enter as punctuation. [21:58] Georgy: Set your BIOS to AHCI. [21:58] Anyone know where I can find a list of all installed hardware I have? With names and stuff. Thanks [21:59] Georgy: lose the raid, lose anything advance [21:59] Allright ill give it a shot [21:59] Where can i set my BIOS btw ? [21:59] f2 ? [21:59] depends. [21:59] :) [22:00] Okay [22:00] Georgy: changing your BIOS options will probably stop Windows from booting. Unless you are wiping out windows, in which case... carry on.
