| MoPac | So lately I've noticed that my 100mb boot partition just isn't sufficient. Even if I only have one full kernel on there at a time, the space isn't big enough to hold that kernel plus the updates so that I can update. I end up having to delete stuff just to try to update and pray that there's no crash in the meantime. The rest of my hd space is a LUKs LVM. Question: am I screwed? | 00:07 |
| coldpizza72i | /tmp/guest/home : no such file or directory | 00:07 |
| coldpizza72i | MoPac: ^ | 00:08 |
| MoPac | coldpizza72i: are you running from inside the VM's guest account, from a live CD/USB, or something else? | 00:08 |
| coldpizza72i | VM's guest act | 00:09 |
| MoPac | coldpizza72i: the guest account might not be able to see, and almost certainly wouldn't be able to delete, files on your normal user's home folder | 00:10 |
| Gast | ÄäÖöÜüß | 00:10 |
| Gast4545665 | ÄäÖöÜüß | 00:10 |
| coldpizza72i | MoPac: so then what do i do | 00:11 |
| MoPac | although maybe it's possible within the guest account to switch users? I'm not sure -- guest isn't usually a sudoer and I'm really not very knowledgable about user management | 00:11 |
| coldpizza72i | MoPac: if su is what u meant i get setgid: operation not permitted | 00:12 |
| === XenGi is now known as XenGi_ | ||
| MoPac | coldpizza72i: I think your best bet is to mount the filesystem from outside, or, when booting ubuntu, to boot to a command line | 00:12 |
| coldpizza72i | MoPac: how do u boot to cmd line | 00:12 |
| MoPac | coldpizza72i: maybe there's a safe mode option during boot of the VM? I'm not familiar with running ubuntu in a VM | 00:13 |
| MoPac | at login screen, there is also usually a key combination you can use | 00:13 |
| MoPac | one sec | 00:13 |
| === Onixs_ is now known as Onixs | ||
| MoPac | coldpizza72i: from login screen, it might be ctrl-alt-f1 or ctrl-alt-fX, where X is some low number | 00:16 |
| MoPac | now, that might give you a root shell, and I don't know the deal off the top of my head about whether that root user can easily modify the files in /home/youruser or whether you have to switch or do something more fanc | 00:17 |
| MoPac | *fancy | 00:17 |
| MoPac | coldpizza72i: also, I've seen it suggested that pressing Shift when the VM is booting might get you into recovery mode | 00:18 |
| MoPac | then you can ask it for command prompt /shell or whatever it's called and try to get to your file that way. | 00:18 |

| nmittal | hi.. the scrolling on my ubuntu has been reversed.. how can i fix that? | 00:20 |
| MoPac | nmittal: what do you mean by reversed? | 00:20 |
| nmittal | when i scroll the wheel on mouse the list goes up instead of down | 00:20 |
| lattera | how would I tell which version of glibc is installed? | 00:21 |
| nmittal | basically.. opposite of usual | 00:21 |
| elisa87 | hi do you know the reason I am receiving these errors in my make ? http://paste.ubuntu.com/5606250/ | 00:21 |
| nmittal | MoPac, anything? | 00:22 |
| MoPac | nmittal: so I think that "natural scrolling" reverses the direction | 00:23 |
| Shubuntu | hey guys i'm trying to use curl to proxy download a link and pass it to mercurial to clone, how do i do that? | 00:23 |
| MoPac | nmittal: If you have Ubuntu Tweak, under miscellaneous, you can toggle it on or off there | 00:23 |
| nmittal | MoPac, where is that option | 00:23 |
| nmittal | MoPac, oh ok.. let me see | 00:23 |
| lattera | nvm, found it | 00:23 |
| nmittal | MoPac you are spot on.. thanks a lot | 00:24 |
| MoPac | nmittal: no problem | 00:24 |
| coldpizza72i | MoPac: the only thing in /home is my account folder | 00:26 |
| Gast | /go #debian | 00:27 |
| MoPac | coldpizza72i: right, the .xAuthority file should be right in your main home directory | 00:27 |
| Gast | /join #debian | 00:27 |
| MoPac | so, e.g., /home/John/.xAuthority | 00:27 |

| === Johnny is now known as Guest83386 | ||
| MoPac | coldpizza72i: you might have to do something to view hidden files, since the leading dot marks it as "hidden" | 00:28 |
| jrib | elisa87: output of « mount »? | 00:28 |
| mandoguit | Gast: this irc server (spotchat) has #linuxmint-debian for #debian I believe you need to log onto the freenode irc server first | 00:28 |
| coldpizza72i | MoPac: ls -a.. right? | 00:29 |
| jrib | mandoguit: we're on freenode now though the official #debian channel is on oftc | 00:29 |
| MoPac | coldpizza72i: could be that. I'm pretty n00b-ish at doing folder or text document stuff in shell | 00:29 |

| MoPac | *written as | 00:31 |
| coldpizza72i | How do i exit the terminal(what button combination) | 00:32 |
| coldpizza72i | nevermind i got it | 00:32 |
| coldpizza72i | MoPac: this did not solve my problem | 00:32 |
| MoPac | coldpizza72i: you're sure the old .xAuthority file is gone? | 00:33 |
| coldpizza72i | MoPac: i moved it to .xAuthorityBackup | 00:33 |
| MoPac | coldpizza72i: try moving it to a subfolder or renaming it something else entirely -- I've seen files like ".xAuthorityc" get auto-generated, so it may still be finding it | 00:34 |
| lattera | anyone know where I can download the version of glibc that ships with ubuntu 10.04? | 00:35 |
| coldpizza72i | MoPac: still doesnt work | 00:35 |
| MoPac | next idea would be for you to read the .xsessionerrors file | 00:36 |
| MoPac | it's in the same place | 00:36 |
| coldpizza72i | New question: How can i put a file somewhere that a guest could see it? Can i put it on the guests Desktop? | 00:36 |

| tivardian | greetings from snowy england! complete noob with a question about xchat on ubuntu 12.10 | 01:05 |
| KI4RO | tivardian, Welcome. Ask away | 01:07 |
| tivardian | i need to know what file directory xchat is saved to in the file system, in order to add some files for an xchat theme | 01:07 |
| pbwizkid | hello all | 01:07 |
| tivardian | have searched but is confusing as so many folders are found | 01:08 |
| Mdnight | tivardian, type whereis xchat | 01:09 |

| m000gle | Is there any way to fully integrate Pidgin into the Ubuntu Messaging Menu, similar to how Empathy comes by default? ... For example: closing the window closes to the messaging menu, instead of GTK icon or closing the program entirely; having the online/away/offline alter Pidgin's status etc | 01:09 |
| dr_willis | I imaginme theres an xchat channel also. | 01:09 |

It has a VIA Nano u3500 1 GHz processor, VIA VX900 Media Processor, 1 GB RAM with 128 MB reserved for video, and 512 MB Flash memory. Twist3d had indicated that he thought 12.04 or 12.10 desktop 32 bit should work. I tried both without much success. 12.10 booted, had some "longhaul" broken message, then got to... | 01:19 |

| cbaker | dr_willis i did see in the logs something about "CHROME". in that reference, he was able to get it to run 1024x768 before upgrading. | 01:31 |
| cbaker | is there any tricks I could try to get stock 12.10 to run dr_willis? what is Linux Mint anyway? | 01:32 |
| dr_willis | cbaker: a ubuntu spin off.. i just googeled for that vx900 and saw that as a hit. | 01:33 |

| dr_willis | from what im reading - that driver is not very developed.. | 01:35 |

| krabador | a friend of mine have installed something that now wants to updates 2 packages called "unsecure" | 02:35 |
| krabador | how can i watch what package needs this last package, to both uninstall | 02:35 |
| whdi | what does it mean? | 02:35 |
| === Guddu is now known as Guest55577 | ||
| === aguadito is now known as Austerity-Sucks | ||
| dr_willis | installed what exactly? and wanting what? i dont think theres an 'unsecure' package.. but if they are comming from a source with no gpg key installed.. they could be considered from an unsecure source. | 02:36 |
| whdi | such as PPA? | 02:37 |
| krabador | yes | 02:37 |
| whdi | i don't install ppa packages at all | 02:38 |
| Trinsta | hi can someone help me with my problem? | 02:38 |
| dr_willis | and the problem is? | 02:38 |
| xzased | anyone know how to set permanent static routes? I have modified the /etc/network/interfaces and have added at the bottom of my eth1 config "up route add default gw my_ip" and restarted the network, even rebooted, but the default is still the eth0 gateway | 02:38 |
| krabador | ok, how can i look from terminal, what package needs another one that i can't update because "unsecure" | 02:39 |
| krabador | ? | 02:39 |
| carrera | Greetings! :) | 02:39 |
| dr_willis | the apt-get tools show whats going to get installed normally | 02:39 |
| Trinsta | I have ubuntu 12.10 installed. My wireless connection works fine but randomly drops sometimes | 02:39 |
| Trinsta | the connection to my router is still established but i dont seem to get any internet | 02:40 |
| holstein | krabador: you can paste the output of apt-get update in a pastebin.. that might help pinpoint.. could be a bad PPA | 02:40 |
| carrera | has anyone used the computer-janitor-gtk? | 02:40 |
| Trinsta | my windows does not have the same problem while the problem occurs on the ubuntu | 02:40 |
| === Dr_Manhattan is now known as DrManhattan | ||
| krabador | holstein, ok | 02:40 |
| dr_willis | carrera: that tool has been phased out of newer releases.. it could be a bit dangerous and clean out to much stuff.. use it with caution | 02:40 |
| holstein | Trinsta: you can try a different driver if there is one available. | 02:40 |
| Trinsta | a simple restart of the connection solves it | 02:40 |
| carrera | thanks dr_willis ! :) | 02:41 |
| carrera | I installed computer-janitor-gtk but good thing I asked before I ran it | 02:41 |
| dr_willis | running it is ok.. use it with care. and confirm what its removeing befor you let it do so | 02:42 |
| Trinsta | dr_willis: i should say it happens quite frequently around every 3-5 minutes | 02:42 |
| carrera | dr_willis, oh, okay! | 02:42 |
| KI4RO | carrera, I use the janitor in Ubuntu Tweaks and it seems to do the job | 02:42 |
| dr_willis | Trinsta: id check askubuntu.com for your exact chipset. could be a bug in the drivers | 02:42 |
| carrera | KI4RO, I just installed gnome-tweak-tool package and that's how I came to know of the computer janitor | 02:43 |
| phincy | hi | 02:43 |
| Printer | Hi, can anyone tell me the difference between CUPs and TurboPrint? I mean if my printer supports CUPs do I really need the TurboPrint? | 02:43 |
| dr_willis | Printer: i doubt if you need turboprint | 02:44 |
| dr_willis | i thought it was comercial drivers for some printers.. | 02:44 |
| carrera | KI4RO, what's the Ubuntu Tweaks? | 02:44 |
| Printer | oh | 02:44 |
| Curs0r | OerHeks, got pango working in no time building off the info you gave me. Thanks a ton | 02:45 |
| Printer | dr_willis: ok thanks. | 02:45 |
| KI4RO | carrera, Package available in the software center...lets you make tweaks too numerrous to list | 02:45 |

| holstein | Loverboy: copy/paste to the editor of your choice | 02:53 |
| linda666 | yes, i couldnt connect using hdmi.. so its vga and usb | 02:53 |
| dr_willis | thats weird that hdmi dident work.. or it does usb OVER hdmi? | 02:53 |
| holstein | Loverboy: https://help.ubuntu.com/community/XChatHowto | 02:53 |
| Loverboy | thank | 02:54 |
| linda666 | not that it didnt work... i couldnt connect because the cable was not hdmi | 02:54 |
| Trinsta | dr_willis: its a problem with the carl9170 | 02:55 |
| Trinsta | any tips on how to fix it? or replace carl9170 with something else? | 02:55 |
| linda666 | the multitouch monitor model is HP Compaq L2206tm | 02:55 |
| Trinsta | seems that driver is buggy and bombs out the internet | 02:55 |
| dr_willis | If theres no alternatives.. theres no alternatives... | 02:56 |
| holstein | Trinsta: i would try a different driver if one is available | 02:56 |
| Trinsta | dr_willis: looks like you were right | 03:07 |
| Trinsta | its a known bug for my specific Wireless USB | 03:08 |
| Trinsta | DWA-160, its manageable under 12.4 but even worse on 12.10 which is what im running =[ | 03:08 |
| Trinsta | looks like ill have to go pick up a new wireless connector | 03:08 |

| sbaugh | Hey, how can I get bluetooth to run on startup, i.e. have a bluetooth keyboard be usable on lightdm. | 03:30 |
| raj | but I'm getting permission denied when trying to enter a directory | 03:30 |
| dr_willis | !sudo | 03:30 |
| ubottu | 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 | 03:30 |
| dr_willis | what are you trying to do exactly? use sudo -i for a root shell | 03:31 |
| raj | aahh perfect! | 03:32 |
| raj | so is there any way to see a directory listing while a regular user? | 03:33 |
| raj | with sudo privileges | 03:33 |
| dr_willis | sudo ls perhaps.. ;) | 03:33 |
| philwong | if you install ubuntu and use it until a brand new version of ubuntu is released... do you have to backup your data and delete everything and reinstall the new ubuntu?? | 03:33 |
| raj | dr_willis, doesn't work | 03:33 |
| raj | i tried =T | 03:33 |
| dr_willis | details are better then saying 'dosent work' | 03:33 |
| dr_willis | what are you doing exactly? | 03:34 |
| raj | there's no output from `raj@raj-ubuntu:/mnt/WinRaj$ sudo ls | 03:34 |
| raj | ` | 03:34 |
| krabador | dr_willis, yes, but their installer are really great | 03:34 |
| sbaugh | philwong: No, you can update from version to version | 03:34 |
| dr_willis | raj try sudo ls /mnt/WinRaj/ | 03:35 |
| dr_willis | krabador: dident even know they had one. ;) | 03:35 |
| raj | dr_willis, nope | 03:35 |
| raj | same thing, no output after asking me for my pw | 03:36 |
| krabador | dr_willis, :) | 03:36 |
| dr_willis | sounds like the directory is empty.. | 03:36 |
| raj | dr_willis, it's not | 03:36 |
| raj | I can see everything with root | 03:36 |
| raj | sudo -i | 03:36 |
| philwong | what if I modified the Xserver which is responsible on the functioning of teh caps lock feature... will the upgrade overwright everything which I will then have to re-modify the xserver? | 03:36 |
| sbaugh | philwong: Depends on how you modify it. What are you planning to do? | 03:37 |
| dr_willis | raj: cant say ive ever noticed the issue. could be how its mounted. | 03:37 |
| Hemebond | Can someone remind me on how to fix pulseaudio|alsa master/pcm issue where the master volume doesn't actually scale the volume? | 03:38 |
| philwong | Modify the functionality of the caps lock | 03:38 |
| raj | dr_willis, it's mounted via vbox | 03:38 |
| raj | if that matters | 03:38 |
| philwong | if I have already doen it in my existing distro installation... will upgrading revert it? | 03:38 |
| dr_willis | philwong: how did you modify it? | 03:39 |
| philwong | actually I did not but I might have someone who would | 03:39 |
| sbaugh | philwong: No, if you are changing the caps lock key to trigger a different key with xmodmap, upgrading should not revert it. If you are doing something more advanced, it might. | 03:39 |
| philwong | its due to this problem | 03:39 |
| philwong | http://www.linuxquestions.org/questions/linux-newbie-8/plz-fix-the-caps-lock-response-time-glitch-in-linux-distros-881317/page3.html | 03:40 |
| philwong | unless this problem is fixed in the new one.. I might not have to do any modification | 03:40 |
| sbaugh | philwong: That change would not be carried over between xserver versions, no. | 03:43 |
| molensis | where can I look at the default applications in running media in ubuntu | 03:44 |
| philwong | sbaugh: so it would be overwritten right? | 03:44 |
| philwong | and I would have to redo it | 03:45 |
| sbaugh | philwong: Yes | 03:45 |
| philwong | hmm | 03:45 |

| Hemebond | Not sure. | 03:53 |
| Hemebond | Been trying to find out why I don't have digital audio. | 03:53 |

| rico129 | Hey guys | 03:54 |
| dr_willis | Using hdmi? or what exactly Hemebond ? | 03:54 |

| Loverboy | hi, some body could telme how to send a file in this chat please | 04:01 |
| dr_willis | most irc clients support the dcc sending methods.. | 04:02 |
| dr_willis | but its most likely easier to just use a file shareing site | 04:02 |
| Loverboy | ok, what site please | 04:02 |
| repus | i am using the 'make' command. everyone is in the same group. when one user compiles something, it compiles fine. the next user attempts to issue 'make clean' and it returns errors about not being able to delete files. | 04:02 |

| Hemebond | LOL. Far out. Now I'm getting distorted/slowed sound. | 04:04 |

| raj | cool | 04:05 |
| raj | thanks | 04:05 |
| pineneedlespinea | what does "not work well" mean? | 04:05 |
| _cronus_ | pineneedlespinea, it doesn't fix anything but trivial problems | 04:06 |
| jrib | repus: well by default files won't have group write permissions so that's not surprising | 04:06 |
| rico129 | so i downloaded teamspeak and ran the whole "chmod +x file.run" and "./file.run" but how exactly do I install it so that it appears as an icon in the gnome app launcher. I feel running it from my download folder isn't exactly /organized/... | 04:06 |
| pineneedlespinea | well windows is restarting while starting up, and the hard drive goes BINGCH cliCK* but ubuntu works fine =c | 04:07 |
| dr_willis | !teamspeak | 04:07 |
| ubottu | teamspeak is the proprietry VoIP software see: https://help.ubuntu.com/community/TeamSpeak For a open source alternative consider using Mumble http://mumble.sourceforge.net/ | 04:07 |
| rico129 | thanks ubottu | 04:07 |
| dr_willis | There should be a teamspeak in the repos/ppa | 04:07 |
| rico129 | dr_willis: teamspeak just ran an update, i hope mumble will let me connect to my friends server and not bother with "incorrect client version" errors. Im checking it out right now. | 04:08 |

| diego | how to get back | 04:10 |
| repus | jrib, do you have a suggestion to fix it? | 04:11 |
| jrib | repus: fix what? What do you want to accomplish? | 04:11 |
| repus | jrib, i need to be able to issue the 'make clean' command prior to compiling. regardless of who compiled last time | 04:11 |
| dr_willis | pineneedlespinea: said his was making weird noises | 04:11 |
| rico129 | oh! | 04:11 |
| jrib | rico129: why? | 04:12 |
| jrib | repus: why? | 04:12 |
| jrib | rico129: this seems like a strange request, thus why I'm trying to figure out exactly what you are doing | 04:12 |
| repus | jrib, because any user in the group must be able to do this. as it's a group and that's what people in groups do. | 04:12 |

| diego | helloooo | 04:14 |
| diego | i have to re install unity | 04:14 |
| dr_willis | If the Hd is making wonky noises.. i would expect it to die in the near future | 04:14 |
| diego | the launcher and taskbar are gone | 04:14 |
| dr_willis | diego: most likely you dont.. You need to get the video card drivers working right | 04:14 |
| pineneedlespinea | it's brand new and ubuntu works fine xD | 04:14 |
| dr_willis | pineneedlespinea: you said your HD was makin weird noises or not? | 04:15 |
| pineneedlespinea | when windows tries to start up yes | 04:15 |
| jrib | rico129: still sounds like a strange request. I'd encourage you to give more details about why this is needed. In any case, your issue is as I stated originally, your files do not have group write permissions. If you want the group to be able to modify/delete them, then you need to ensure the files have group write permissions (actually to delete them, you just need parent directories to have group write | 04:15 |
| jrib | permissions (and belong to the right group of course)). You can do this by changing umask (NOT on a per-directory basis) or ACLs. Again, I'd encourage you to explain why this is necessary at all. Why don't the users just compile in their own homes? | 04:15 |
| diego | how on earth i do that | 04:15 |
| dr_willis | if the HD dies.. then both os's will die most likely ;) | 04:15 |
| pineneedlespinea | precisely | 04:16 |
| pineneedlespinea | must have had a power outage with windows open is what i'm thinking | 04:16 |
| jrib | rico129: again, sorry. That was for repus | 04:16 |
| rico129 | no worries jrib | 04:16 |
| dr_willis | diego: i see people have similer proglems with unity/compiz not starting correctly. normally its due to the video card drivers neeidng reinstalled. | 04:16 |

| dr_willis | pineneedlespinea: there are windows rescue/repair cds you can get seen them mentioned at the lifehacker site. also the #windows channel may know | 04:17 |
| pineneedlespinea | some day i'll get my nvidia 52 and 5500 paired and working right xD | 04:17 |
| pineneedlespinea | ah right cross-support hehe | 04:17 |
| dr_willis | you dont normally want to try to repair windows fs from within linux | 04:18 |
| pineneedlespinea | =/ crap | 04:18 |
| repus | jrib, i have all permissions set correctly at this point. the files in question are being created during compile. how would i set up umask to accomplish this? | 04:18 |
| jrib | repus: default umask is 022 | 04:18 |
| repus | jrib, yes | 04:19 |
| jrib | repus: so if you want files that are created to be group-writable, you need to change that | 04:19 |
| repus | jrib, it was my understanding that with group access enabled, it dynamically changed the umask from default of 022 to 002 | 04:19 |
| rico129 | be right back | 04:20 |

| === LaserShark is now known as ZombieShark | ||
| repus | jrib, i understand this. the issue is making the files have the correct permissions so they can be removed during make clean. | 04:25 |
| repus | jrib, does it make sense what i am trying to explain? | 04:25 |

| shawn | then i freaked out | 04:31 |
| jrib | repus: only thing you can really do is use ACLs then. Even if you change umask, g+s won't act recursively. | 04:31 |
| pineneedlespinea | hmm | 04:31 |

| jrib | raj: basically, yes | 04:32 |
| raj | crap | 04:32 |
| repus | jrib, how would that be setup? would that allow files created by the 'make' command to have proper permissions for any user within the group to issue a 'make clean' and have it be successful? | 04:32 |

| shawn | leptone: because i used to use my desktop keyboard on accident when i was using my laptop | 04:33 |
| shawn | now i can do it on accident, on purpose | 04:34 |
| jrib | repus: ACLs allow you to set permissions for additional users and groups (so a file can have user1 permissions, user2 permissions, etc.). That's not really relevant for your issue. But ACLs can also recursively set default permissions on a directory. So you can use that. You need to add the "acl" option to the partition these files are on, then you can find details in man pages of setfacl and getfacl | 04:34 |
| jrib | (sorry I don't know of a good online link for these). Personally, I think it would be better to not bother with this. just setup a git repo and let people clone the project, work on it, compile, whatever, and then merge back changes | 04:34 |
| diego_ | hi friends | 04:35 |
| jrib | repus: oh there's one way you could avoid this I guess. Change umask and change the primary group for the relevant users. But this applies system-wide and not just on a specific directory (like ACLs would) | 04:35 |
| jrib | repus: you would essentially be sharing *every* file this way though, not just the project | 04:36 |
| zizoo | shawn, lol that's awesome. btw, I just tried that with a remote emacs client, and it also works. Heheh. | 04:37 |
| diego_ | how are you? | 04:37 |
| repus | jrib, thank you for giving it thought. the project is setup as a git. i suppose the easiest way would be to have a username setup for the directory and allow everyone to login with the same username? | 04:37 |
| diego_ | any can help? | 04:37 |
| jrib | repus: that's another option, yes. Why don't you just let people clone the project if they want to make changes to it, compile, etc.? | 04:38 |
| repus | diego_ anyone can help. post your question | 04:38 |
| repus | jrib, the issue is that multiple people want to login and run test builds or test changes... | 04:38 |
| repus | jrib, on the same machine... | 04:38 |
| jrib | repus: so let them clone the project to their machine and do test builds, etc? | 04:38 |

| repus | jrib, thank you for your help and thoughts! :D | 04:42 |
| jrib | sbaugh: I guess you can drop that in /etc/rc.local (without sudo). There is likely a better way, but I don't know offhand and must leave. I encourage you to research this though | 04:43 |
| sparky | bin2fex? | 04:43 |

| pineneedlespinea | open arena is gl correct? | 04:57 |
| whdi | is there any direct3d game for linux? | 04:58 |
| zizoo | shawn: The Emacs client doesn't seem to care if I resize a remote frame. Displays normally. Makes sense, since I can already re-open that buffer in multiple different views just locally. Though it is a bit disappointing, in a way. xD | 04:59 |

| sam113101 | do it manually then, I guess? | 05:21 |
| Flannel | shawn: sudo in that case works on the echo, not the >>, so to do that, you need echo [stuff] | sudo tee -a /etc/apt/sources.list, but it might be better to just stick it in a folder in /etc/apt/sources.list.d/, such as /etc/apt/sources.list.d/debian.sur5r.net | 05:22 |
| Flannel | er sorry, stick it in a file within the directory /etc/apt/sources.list.d/ | 05:22 |
| shawn | Flannel: thanks for the suggestion. what should i name the file? | 05:24 |
| Flannel | shawn: I suggested debian.sur5r.net, but you can call it whatever you'd like. | 05:24 |
| zizoo | dizzylizzy: Ok, looked into it further, and folks on the forums are saying that keybindings with super/win don't stick. Some say to edit it with dconf, but results are mixed. Mine is working now, for what it's worth, but my problem appeared to be with Compiz. | 05:25 |

| zizoo | Also, dizzylizzy, I am a liar. GNOME Classic, which I use, defaults to some other window manager, but the standard Unity Desktop uses Compiz. So you might try finagling with its keybindings as well. | 05:29 |

| james1552 | Does anyone know about the Ubuntu Wallpaper IRC thing tonight. | 06:06 |
| rkhshm1 | I'm following this link to setup a shared printing service via my ubuntu machine ... But in the first point itself.. I'm not able to find system->administration->printing menu anywhere | 06:06 |
| rkhshm1 | https://help.ubuntu.com/community/NetworkPrintingWithUbuntu | 06:06 |
| mokush | james1552: what ubuntu wallpaper irc thing? | 06:06 |
| rkhshm1 | i checked for the mentioned pkgs but all of them are already installed on my machine. | 06:06 |
| Jordan_U | researcher123: I don't see anything enlightening there. How about /var/log/syslog ? | 06:07 |
| james1552 | For the next release 13.04 to discuss potential wallpapers from the Flickr pool (I know it's a little off topic for this IRC but it is Ubuntu related) | 06:07 |
| rkhshm1 | my machine is 12.04 .. Please help | 06:07 |
| Jordan_U | rkhshm1: Search for "print" in unity, or run "system-config-printer". | 06:07 |
| rkhshm1 | Jordan_U: ahh. thanks that did the job. | 06:08 |
| Jordan_U | james1552: #ubuntu-discuss and #ubuntu-offtopic are good places for such discussion. | 06:08 |

| sbaugh | Whyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyy isn't lightdm picking up my xsessions in /usr/share/xsessions | 06:13 |
| james1552 | No one seems to be responding in the other ubuntu rooms.. :( | 06:14 |
| shawn | yow | 06:14 |
| james1552 | is there a good channel to just ask general IRC help, thats a bit more active? | 06:15 |
| Jordan_U | rkhshm1: I believe that it should be set up automagically. | 06:15 |
| sbaugh | if this is how "easy to use" ubuntu is no wonder linux has a reputation for being complex! | 06:15 |
| sbaugh | Has anyone successfully placed an xsession in /usr/share/xsesssions/? | 06:16 |
| rkhshm1 | hmm.. But when i looked into my colleagues windows machine (win 7) and tried to print a file i was not able to find the designated printer being shown on that machine | 06:16 |
| Jordan_U | rkhshm1: Is that in an office environment? | 06:16 |
| rkhshm1 | Jordan_U: yes | 06:16 |
| Jordan_U | rkhshm1: Is there a workgroup/domain for the company? | 06:17 |
| rkhshm1 | Jordan_U: well actually we are in a shared office setup where the infrastructure is given by the complex owner.. SO i'm not sure about anything.. ANd our IT guys are not here today | 06:18 |
| Jordan_U | rkhshm1: You likely need to be sharing the printer to that same domain/workgroup (I don't know how to do this), and it may require an administrator account on the domain controller to do so. | 06:18 |
| lbj90 | sbaugh i may be wrong but doesn't Xresources belong as ~/.Xresources? | 06:19 |
| lbj90 | I gave up on an arch install today but at least Xresources worked-- granted that may not translate over to Ubuntu | 06:20 |
| lbj90 | nvm misread that, you said xsessions.. | 06:20 |

| Jordan_U | rkhshm1: If your collegue can log into his account from any machine, then that means that he's logged into a domain. I don't know a whole lot about Windows domains and policy but I know enough to say that it can make this type of thing more complicated (especially if the computer you're trying to share the printer from is not logged into the same domain, which while possible, is probably not the case with your Ubuntu machine :) | 06:22 |

| sgo11 | hi, how can I set the default plymouth theme to text? So far, I can achieve this by manually creating a default.plymouth link to text.plymouth. not sure if this is the correct way since normal process is to use update-alternatives command. thanks. | 06:36 |
| Seveas | sgo11: the alternatives setup seems to solve the purpose of selecting different graphical and text themes, not to set the default to text | 06:39 |
| sgo11 | Seveas, yeah, that's right. that's why I am asking what the proper way to set the default to text is. :) so far, I just manually "rm default.plymouth" and then "ln -s text.plymouth default.plymouth" something like this. it works. not sure if it's the correct way or not. :) | 06:41 |

| jony | I've found out: SHIFT+click | 07:21 |
| suigeneris | I've been getting '/bin/sh: error while loading shared libraries: libc.so.6: cannot open object file: No such file or directory' | 07:22 |

| Seveas | sbaugh: neat trick :) | 07:23 |
| suigeneris | Seveas: I assume you can help me | 07:23 |
| suigeneris | actually I'd been waiting for you | 07:24 |
| Seveas | suigeneris: looks like you're trying to boot either an ancient kernel or an x86_64 kernel. Why? | 07:24 |
| Novus | So I got a trick I wanna try | 07:24 |
| Seveas | the_dark_knight: most likely that mysqld isn't running. | 07:24 |
| Novus | I wanna see if it is possible | 07:24 |
| Seveas | the_dark_knight: another explanation could be that you changed the socket path | 07:25 |
| suigeneris | Seveas: long time ago, I'd installed xen and that brought its own kernel. I now want to get rid of it | 07:25 |
| Novus | my new rig has a slot for an entire hard drive to be pluged in as if it was a flash drive | 07:25 |
| Novus | you just drop it in | 07:25 |
| Novus | only trick is you have to have it pluged in before you turn on the system so the bio recognizes it | 07:26 |
| Seveas | suigeneris: oh, I have no experience with exorcizing xen I'm afraid. | 07:26 |
| suigeneris | Seveas: so, I thought just switching kernels and uninstalling would be sufficient, but no | 07:26 |
| Seveas | suigeneris: try installing linux-generic (or linux-server on a server) first, that should bring in the most recent kernel for your release | 07:26 |
| Novus | what I'd like to do is whenever the hard drive is in place on boot up it just loads that and not the internal hd's | 07:26 |

| Seveas | suigeneris: correct. And you're trying to chroot into the old os? | 07:29 |
| suigeneris | that uname -a is after the chroot of course | 07:29 |
| Seveas | ah | 07:29 |
| Seveas | but uname doesn't care about chroot | 07:29 |

| Seveas | suigeneris: correct | 07:38 |
| Seveas | same for /proc and /sys | 07:38 |
| blue112 | rico129, you can post anything that may help understand your problem. | 07:38 |

| rico129 | http://i.imgur.com/v5an0b1.jpg here's the imgur link to get an idea. everytime i try to install ati hd 5770 drivers following forum post instructions it never installs and just says error. | 07:39 |
| rico129 | i have dual monitors. | 07:39 |
| blue112 | rico129, looks like missinstalled drivers. | 07:39 |
| rico129 | I followed instructions on a forum to remove unity and install gnome 3 experience. hope that didn't mess anything up either. | 07:40 |
| blue112 | rico129, I don't think so. I run on gnome 3 too. | 07:40 |

| rico129 | i downloaded the latest drivers from amd's website. | 07:41 |
| suigeneris | Seveas: for future reference, I have to mount /dev /proc and /sys every time, prior to chroot, right? | 07:42 |
| Seveas | suigeneris: can be done after chrooting. But yes, bindmounting those will make running things inside the chroot easier | 07:42 |
| blue112 | omenreal, not much, I run on a nividia/ | 07:43 |
| suigeneris | Seveas: got it. another lesson learned. thanks :) | 07:43 |
| omenreal | rico129: is it a fresh OS install? did you do the linux headers and such? | 07:43 |
| blue112 | rico129, installation when without any problem ? Could you paste the content of /etc/X11/xorg.conf at pastebin ( http://pastebin.com/ ) ? | 07:43 |
| rico129 | Alright so I choose "Generate Distr Spec Driver Pkg" read the agreement, click agree, under package generation I pick from either redhat,suse, or build package for detected OS: ubuntu/quantal, i pick ubuntu | 07:44 |

| rico129 | I didn't do that omenreal | 07:47 |
| blue112 | rico129, I see. Maybe your kernel get updated in the mean time. You should maybe try to reinstall. | 07:47 |

| omenreal | anyway reinstall finished so time for me to start asking amd related graphics questions too... sigh | 07:48 |

| rico129 | "sudo apt-get install lin...headers"? | 07:53 |
| blue112 | rico129, you don't have to be afraid of terminal since you're here and we're all terminal pro-users :D | 07:53 |
| BillyZane | hello | 07:54 |
| rico129 | well that's comforting :P | 07:54 |
| omenreal | Okay so from a fresh install... just updated how would i go about installing the ati radeon hd 6450 drivers? already tried most of the ways listed and i just get a black screen and have to uninstall to get my screen back any ideas? | 07:54 |
| blue112 | rico129, sudo apt-get install linux-headers-generic | 07:54 |
| rico129 | installing. | 07:54 |
| rico129 | completed. | 07:54 |
| blue112 | omenreal, black screen is generally a problem which driver. You can look for it in dmesg or /var/log/Xorg.0.log | 07:54 |
| blue112 | rico129, ok. Now you should try install the binary driver. | 07:55 |
| rico129 | what exactly is this linux headers? is it generic drivers? | 07:55 |
| rico129 | curious what the headers means in that. | 07:55 |
| SecuRex0 | ntzrmtthihu777: I've used Windows from now, so wondering if linux-installed desktop is suitable for me. | 07:55 |
| blue112 | rico129, it's files the drivers need to compile against your kernel. | 07:55 |
| ntzrmtthihu777 | rico129: its what it says it is, headers. | 07:55 |
| sgo11 | blue112, rico129, I guess it depends on which version of linux header does ati driver use. for ubuntu 12.10, nvidia driver, you have to install a old version of linux header before installing nvidia-current. that was a bug in ubuntu 12.10. | 07:55 |
| blue112 | omenreal, looking at the error messages will help us to understand your problem, and debug it. | 07:55 |
| blue112 | sgo11, really ? That's lame. | 07:55 |
| ntzrmtthihu777 | SecuRex0: I have used windows all my life, excluding the last year, and I don't regret a single thing about it. | 07:55 |
| rico129 | Not sure what headers meant ntzrmtthihu777, but I think i got it now. | 07:56 |
| omenreal | im on a fresh install now so i dont have any errors yet | 07:56 |
| rico129 | to install binary i should just "yum install ati-binaries"? | 07:56 |
| rico129 | not that easy huh lol | 07:57 |
| ntzrmtthihu777 | SecuRex0: and the best thing about linux, for the most part, is you can burn a disc and test it on your system before installing. | 07:57 |
| sgo11 | blue112, look at this thread: http://ubuntuforums.org/showthread.php?t=2070426 for ubuntu 12.10 fresh install, people have to install linux-headers-3.5.0-17-generic before installing nvidia. I am not sure ATI though. | 07:57 |
| blue112 | rico129, nop. You should download binary drivers from amd website. | 07:57 |
| rico129 | alright. i'm on it | 07:57 |
| zvm-vlam | Hi all | 07:57 |
| rico129 | hi | 07:57 |
| zvm-vlam | Can anyone help with getting a instance running on kvm ontop of Ubuntu to be able to see my tape drives (instance is a Linux Net Backup server) | 07:58 |
| rico129 | ati website leads me to a .zip of catalyst. and i think it's a .run inside? Proceed? | 07:58 |
| SecuRex0 | ntzrmtthihu777: how about active-x? many things from microsoft are not compatiable with linux. | 07:58 |
| blue112 | zvm-vlam, I think it's a little too technical for this channel. You may want to go to a more specific channel. | 07:59 |
| ntzrmtthihu777 | SecuRex0: depends on those many things you speak of. I currently have 4 microsoft-based softwares installed\ | 07:59 |
| ntzrmtthihu777 | SecuRex0: you can pm and I can talk a bit more about it, as this is not really tech support per se | 08:00 |
| zvm-vlam | cool | 08:00 |
| SecuRex0 | ntzrmtthihu777: what's pm? this is ma first time to come to irc chann here. | 08:00 |
| SecuRex0 | it means private message? | 08:00 |
| ntzrmtthihu777 | yesh. | 08:01 |
| blue112 | SecuRex0, yeah. You can use /query USER to query a user. | 08:01 |
| ntzrmtthihu777 | or just /q USER | 08:01 |
| rico129 | i just got a "appor - k" ubuntu is ready notification" alert? should I reinstalled? | 08:02 |
| blue112 | rico129, sounds like apport. It runs when a program crashes. | 08:02 |
| rico129 | oh | 08:02 |
| blue112 | rico129, did you launch that binary in a terminal ? | 08:02 |
| rico129 | I'm trying to find the binary. so far i found the .zip with a .run inside. | 08:02 |
| blue112 | s/launch/run/ | 08:02 |
| blue112 | rico129, the .run is the binary?. | 08:02 |
| blue112 | -? | 08:03 |
| blue112 | You just have to run it inside a terminal. | 08:03 |
| rico129 | alright, didn't know that. Good news. I have the binary. | 08:03 |
| blue112 | Do you know how to do that ? | 08:03 |
| rico129 | "chmod +x | ./<name" | 08:03 |
| rico129 | ? | 08:03 |
| blue112 | && instead of | | 08:03 |
| histo | rico129: you can find out with file somefile.foo | 08:04 |
| blue112 | Well, actually no | 08:04 |
| blue112 | chmod +x name | 08:04 |
| blue112 | ./name | 08:04 |
| blue112 | Will do the trick. | 08:04 |
| suigeneris | hi | 08:04 |
| FloodBot1 | blue112: Please don't flood; use http://paste.ubuntu.com to paste; don't use Enter as punctuation. | 08:04 |
| blue112 | But since it's a driver, you should add sudo before running it. | 08:04 |
| blue112 | FloodBot1, yeah yeah, sorry. | 08:04 |
| suigeneris | Seveas: unfortunately same error | 08:04 |
| rico129 | "chmod +x ./<file.run>" | 08:04 |
| histo | rico129: Which driver are you trying to install btw? | 08:04 |
| rico129 | catalyst 13.1 | 08:04 |
| blue112 | rico129, sounds good. | 08:04 |
| histo | rico129: Stop | 08:04 |
| histo | rico129: Why aren't you using the repos to install it? | 08:04 |
| rico129 | histo: I don't know how to do that. | 08:05 |
| histo | rico129: You can't easily uninstall AMD's version. It will break your system. | 08:05 |
| histo | !ati | rico129 | 08:05 |
| ubottu | rico129: For Ati/NVidia/Matrox video cards, see https://help.ubuntu.com/community/VideoDriverHowto | 08:05 |
| blue112 | histo, I always runned fine with binary driver from catalyst. | 08:05 |
| rico129 | alright time for some reading. | 08:05 |
| histo | blue112: Right there is no point to do that. If you try and remove that driver your system will be broken | 08:06 |
| TakeItEZ | !worksforme | blue112 | 08:06 |
| ubottu | blue112: Common Sense: Just because you can, does not mean you should (and especially recommend to others). Think before you do. "Works for me" does not mean it is ok. The latest version of everything is not always useful if you aim for stability. Please see http://geekosophical.net/random/worksforme/ | 08:06 |
| rico129 | i don't want that :( | 08:06 |

| histo | rico129: https://help.ubuntu.com/community/BinaryDriverHowto/ATI Here follow this | 08:06 |
| rico129 | thank you histo | 08:06 |
| tasslehoff | is there a way I can check the kernelconfig for the current kernel on my system? | 08:06 |
| rico129 | thanks blue112 for helping too. | 08:07 |
| TakeItEZ | tasslehoff: /boot/config-$(uname -r) | 08:07 |
| histo | tasslehoff: why not just uname | 08:07 |
| suigeneris | Seveas: are you there? | 08:07 |
| blue112 | Nobody was there for helping but there's always people here trying to telling what not to do. | 08:07 |
| tasslehoff | TakeItEZ: thanks | 08:08 |
| rico129 | I don't think histo was leading to that blue112. | 08:08 |
| histo | blue112: I just popped in. | 08:08 |
| histo | rico129: blue112 basically you should be using hardware drivers to install them. | 08:10 |
| tasslehoff | my compiles stops with "cc1plus: out of memory". I have 8GB ram, and it is nowhere near that when it crashes. someone told me to check CONFIG_VMSPLIT. now I need to figure out why :) | 08:10 |
| blue112 | histo, hardware drivers ? What do you mean ? | 08:10 |
| histo | blue112: What version of ubuntu are you on? | 08:10 |
| blue112 | histo, 12.04. I have no driver problem btw :3 | 08:11 |
| rico129 | where is the hardware drivers manager in ubuntu? | 08:12 |
| histo | blue112: in 12.04 if you navigate to system settings or gnome-control-center there is a hardware drivers GUI that assists users in installing the proper driver if it's not provided by default. | 08:12 |
| suigeneris | sigh | 08:12 |
| histo | rico129: Which version? | 08:12 |
| rico129 | lol this is embarrasing... | 08:12 |
| histo | rico129: in 12.04 it's where I just told blue112 in 12.10 its System Settings > Software Sources > Hardware | 08:13 |
| rico129 | ok heading there now. | 08:13 |
| SecuRex0 | rico129: that's okay, open your system settings menu, and look for first. | 08:13 |
| suigeneris | anybody can help me? I've been getting '/bin/sh: error while loading shared libraries: libc.so.6: cannot open object file: No such file or directory'. what I lately did is chroot into the OS and apt-get install linux-generic | 08:15 |
| rico129 | i'm on ubuntu 12.10 | 08:15 |
| rico129 | there is no hardware tab, but i see additional drivers. | 08:15 |
| histo | rico129: yeah that's it | 08:15 |

| Guest50482 | if there are two ftp servers running in my system, how'd I know which one I am connecting to? | 08:16 |

| rico129 | i see two options. fglrx and fglrx-updates | 08:16 |
| SecuRex0 | suigeneris: serach on web about libc.so.6 and download it, after all put it on /lib/ | 08:16 |
| rico129 | try fglrx first? | 08:16 |
| histo | rico129: What other options do you have? can you paste a screenshot | 08:17 |

| Martin_1 | Hi there, I am looking for a gnome/ubuntu customization guru for my question on askubuntu ! http://askubuntu.com/questions/265450/gnome-desktop-menu-layout-problem Thanks !!! | 08:17 |
| zetheroo | what is lsb_release and why is it error-ing out almost daily? | 08:17 |
| SecuRex0 | suigeneris: you must know a binaries which are not compiled with platform-independant option depend on their own things such as libs, or something like that. | 08:17 |
| histo | Guest50482: Yeah you could have one listening on one port and a different one listening on another. Any reason you are running two in the first place? | 08:17 |
| rico129 | http://imagebin.org/249948 | 08:18 |
| SecuRex0 | suigeneris: that means, you've to make your system suitable as your binary. | 08:18 |
| TakeItEZ | zetheroo: "error-ing" how? | 08:18 |
| Novus | it's offical I now have 6 hard drives! :) | 08:18 |
| rico129 | :) | 08:18 |
| SecuRex0 | download or reinstall libc.so.6 for your ubuntu version and put it into /lib/ directory. | 08:18 |
| histo | rico129: yes fglrx | 08:18 |
| ntzrmtthihu777 | Novus: >3< gimme! | 08:18 |
| Guest50482 | no, actually I want to use vsftpd, but I think there's already one installed by default | 08:18 |
| rico129 | thank you histo | 08:18 |
| suigeneris | SecuRex0: my uname -a after chroot shows i686 | 08:18 |
| Guest50482 | the default one and vsftpd, both listen on port 21 | 08:19 |
| zetheroo | TakeItEZ: I get these popup messages asking me if I want to report an error ... | 08:19 |
| TakeItEZ | Guest50482: there is no ftp-server in a default installation | 08:19 |
| SecuRex0 | suigeneris: i686, what version of the linux you are on? | 08:19 |
| histo | Guest50482: Well the shouldn't both be listening. And there is no default one. | 08:19 |
| rico129 | installing. | 08:19 |
| suigeneris | SecuRex0: 3.5.0-23-generic #35~precise1-Ubuntu | 08:20 |
| rico129 | should my monitor be flashing bright red and yellow rapidly? | 08:20 |
| rico129 | just kidding :P | 08:20 |
| rico129 | can I just log out or is a reboot in order? | 08:20 |
| histo | rico129: Logging out will not work. You woul dhave to load the module and restart X to not reboot. So if you don't know how to do all that. Just reboot | 08:21 |
| SecuRex0 | suigeneris: hmm i think the better way is that reinstalling ubuntu which is the same version with yours to Virtual Machines, USB, or something having storage and extract your dependant libcs and copy it. | 08:22 |
| rico129 | When you say X, does that mean X window? | 08:22 |
| SecuRex0 | suigeneris: but wait. i'll search it. | 08:22 |
| rico129 | i'm going to reboot, but just curious. | 08:22 |
| suigeneris | SecuRex0: does i686 not mean 32 bit? | 08:22 |
| Novus | what does on do with 6 hard drives? | 08:22 |
| TakeItEZ | suigeneris: it means 32bit | 08:22 |
| Novus | one* | 08:23 |
| Novus | lol | 08:23 |
| SecuRex0 | suigeneris: it means 32bit. x86_64 means 64bit kernel. | 08:23 |
| SecuRex0 | otherwise not for the linux kernel, but for the cpu, you type: | 08:23 |
| SecuRex0 | cat /proc/cpuinfo or grep flags /proc/cpuinfo | 08:23 |
| Novus | questions about GPU | 08:24 |
| SecuRex0 | under flags parameter you will see various values. among them one is named tm(transparent mode) or rm(real mode) or lm(long mode) | 08:24 |
| Novus | do I need to use nomodset for ati cards? | 08:24 |
| Novus | nomodeset* | 08:24 |
| SecuRex0 | rm is 16bit, tm is 32bit, lm is 64bit you know. | 08:24 |
| rico129 | Ah yes! This is more like it! Thanks histo!!! | 08:24 |

| histo | !software | rico129 | 08:43 |
| ubottu | rico129: A general introduction to the ways software can be installed, removed and managed in Ubuntu can be found at https://help.ubuntu.com/community/SoftwareManagement - See also !Packages, !Equivalents | 08:43 |
| histo | !manual | rico129 This will also be a good starting point for you. | 08:43 |
| rico129 | Well Ben64. I downloaded teamspeak 3, and ran the installer and it's now just a folder sitting in my downloads folders and i open the program from there. | 08:43 |
| ubottu | rico129 This will also be a good starting point for you.: The Ubuntu Manual will help you become familiar with everyday tasks such as surfing the web, listening to music and scanning documents. With an emphasis on easy to follow instructions, it is suitable for all levels of experience. http://ubuntu-manual.org/ | 08:43 |

| Novus | what is a good IRC chat client? | 08:44 |
| Novus | for ubuntu? | 08:44 |
| histo | rico129: teamspeak is a little different. They distribute a binary. You'd have to create the shortcut yourself. I don't believe ts3 is in the repositories | 08:44 |
| xkcd | after this they said your local resovler is has some fault | 08:44 |

| suigeneris | artrei: you shouldn't run it in the cases you don't need root access | 09:00 |
| rico129 | alright i'm going to test this out, wish me luck guys! | 09:00 |
| TakeItEZ | suigeneris:biggest problem is to decide if you need or not, in most cases | 09:01 |
| artrei | suigeneris, TakeItEZ what's the bad thing that would come if i use sudo in every command? | 09:01 |
| TakeItEZ | artrei: you might break thing you woldn't break with limited user-permissions | 09:02 |
| suigeneris | artrei: you end up removing system files | 09:02 |
| suigeneris | might too | 09:02 |
| SolarisBoy | or improperly permissioning files whic hshould be owned by you | 09:02 |

| xkcd | they asked me to run grep nameserver /run/resolvconf/interface/*` and `dig +trace chat.freenode.net` | 09:03 |
| xkcd | seeing the results they said your resolver is being dumb | 09:03 |

| Ben64 | vjacob: what does uname -a say | 09:06 |
| SolarisBoy | the dnsmasq is using your upstream DNS servers suigeneris | 09:06 |
| vjacob | Ben64, 3.2.37 #1 | 09:06 |
| Ben64 | vjacob: no, paste the whole line | 09:06 |
| histo | rico129: What didn't work? | 09:06 |
| ikonia | vjacob: you have updated your kernel, and not rebooted for it to become live, most probably | 09:06 |
| vjacob | I can't. It's on another system | 09:06 |
| blue112 | xkcd, but you are currently on freenode using chatzilla... | 09:06 |
| ikonia | vjacob: then copy it | 09:06 |
| vjacob | ikonia, ah, that may be | 09:06 |
| Ben64 | vjacob: then read it better | 09:06 |

| vjacob | I can read. | 09:07 |
| vjacob | it says 3.2.37 | 09:07 |
| ikonia | vjacob: is that exactly what it says ? | 09:07 |
| vjacob | ikonia, hold on there. i'm rebooting | 09:07 |
| ikonia | that's not an ubuntu kernel | 09:07 |
| rico129 | histo: I installed wine, then windows mozilla on it, downloaded steam, logged in, and downloaded dota 2, launched it and resolution dropped- one monitor cut out, and could only see my desktop at low res, but hear ingame music. had to reboot. | 09:07 |
| xkcd | now it seems to be working | 09:08 |
| SolarisBoy | heh | 09:08 |
| SolarisBoy | xkcd: you should find out about your setup | 09:08 |
| xkcd | I dont know how after I pinged 8.8.8.8 I guess | 09:08 |
| SolarisBoy | xkcd: it may work because you just put an internet dns server into resolv.conf - pinging it won't enable it | 09:09 |
| SolarisBoy | if you removed trace thats what did it - | 09:09 |
| SolarisBoy | not everyone lets you recursively query their dns - | 09:09 |
| vjacob | ikonia: that may be. Although I don't remember compiling and installing another. | 09:09 |
| vjacob | ikonia, boot problem | 09:09 |
| SolarisBoy | xkcd: you should really figure out what broke it initially though - because without a small adjustment - your system won't persist that little dns change you made on a reboot - =) | 09:10 |
| vjacob | ikonia: This is the line in grub: "Ubuntu, with Linux 3.2.37" | 09:10 |
| vjacob | no other kernel alternative | 09:10 |
| histo | rico129: They make steam for linux | 09:10 |
| ikonia | vjacob is this a vps ? | 09:10 |
| vjacob | don't know what a vps is | 09:11 |
| ikonia | vjacob: is this your physical machine ? | 09:11 |
| rico129 | histo: I don't think dota 2 is available for steam linux. I'll check right now though. would be nice | 09:11 |
| vjacob | I just did apt-get update ; apt-get upgrade | 09:11 |
| ikonia | vjacob: is it in a data center ? | 09:11 |
| vjacob | ikonia: no | 09:11 |
| vjacob | this is a physical machine | 09:11 |
| histo | rico129: if not you'll have to check wine's appdb to see if dota or whatever game is working | 09:11 |
| histo | !appdb | rico129 | 09:11 |

| rico129 | thanks histo | 09:11 |
| vjacob | ikonia, yes | 09:11 |
| rico129 | Ben64: alright I'll just dual boot to play games. | 09:11 |
| vjacob | rescue mode doesn't let me access the encrypted disk | 09:12 |
| rico129 | until then! | 09:12 |
| Ben64 | rico129: wine works on many games | 09:12 |
| ikonia | vjacob: ok - so it sounds like you've made significant changes to that machine as that is not an ubuntu kernel | 09:12 |
| xkcd | SolarisBoy: Do you know method by which I can I find that out | 09:12 |
| vjacob | ikonia, I don't remember doing that honestly, in fact I'm regularly updating only to ubuntu kernels | 09:12 |
| ikonia | vjacob: ok - well someone has done a significant change to that machine. | 09:12 |
| vjacob | ikonia, that may be but I'd be surprised | 09:13 |
| SolarisBoy | xkcd: by default ubuntu runs network-manager - see if you have that running. use 'ps auxwwww|egrep network-manager' | 09:13 |
| rico129 | found some info here on winehq | 09:13 |
| vjacob | ikonia: I don't understand, why isn't there an older kernel alternative in the boot menu? | 09:13 |
| ikonia | vjacob: probably because someones removed them when they put their own kernel in place. | 09:14 |
| Ben64 | vjacob: pastebin "cat /etc/apt/sources.list* /etc/apt/sources.list.d/*" | 09:14 |
| vjacob | Ben64: the machine is inaccessible | 09:14 |
| SolarisBoy | xkcd: in the output if present you will see a conf line like this '--conf-file=/var/run/nm-dns-dnsmasq.conf' type 'cat /var/run/nm-dns-dnsmasq.conf' and whatever is present in "server=" is the actual dns you use | 09:14 |
| Ben64 | vjacob: i thought you were just on it? | 09:14 |
| ikonia | Ben64: he rebooted | 09:14 |
| vjacob | no I rebooted on the suggestion of ikonia | 09:14 |
| xkcd | Okay | 09:14 |
| ikonia | I did no suggest you reboot | 09:14 |
| ikonia | vjacob: I did not suggest you reboot at all | 09:15 |
| Ben64 | and it died upon reboot? | 09:15 |
| vjacob | [10:06] <ikonia> vjacob: you have updated your kernel, and not rebooted for it to become live, most probably | 09:15 |
| SolarisBoy | doesn't sound like he said reboot | 09:15 |
| ikonia | vjacob: yes, where did I say reboot, I offered a possible suggestion | 09:15 |
| vjacob | fair enough, I guess I read too much into yoursuggestion | 09:15 |
| ikonia | vjacob: you then provided details that this was not an ubuntu kernel | 09:15 |
| vjacob | correct | 09:16 |
| Ben64 | not sure what to suggest then | 09:16 |
| vjacob | (according to you) | 09:16 |
| ikonia | so rebooting at that stage....would not be wise. | 09:16 |
| ikonia | vjacob: can you boot from a livecd and get some package info for us | 09:16 |
| Ben64 | there is disk encryption | 09:16 |
| v2zz | is there any tool in linux(ubuntu), that shows mount errors? don't offer /var/log | 09:16 |
| SolarisBoy | is the old kernel still available? - can you boot back into that? | 09:17 |
| xkcd | SolarisBoy: Its not returning anything | 09:17 |
| ikonia | of course there is.....as average home users need disk encryption on their root file system... | 09:17 |
| SolarisBoy | xkcd: then your not running network manager | 09:17 |
| vjacob | is there any way to continue a boot that interrupts upon trying to load iptables? | 09:17 |
| ikonia | vjacob: try to boot into single user mode | 09:17 |
| ikonia | vjacob: it won't bring up networking, so doesn't bring up iptables | 09:17 |
| vjacob | how? | 09:17 |
| SolarisBoy | xkcd: in which case - however your configuring your network - your dns is broken - or even your not properly configuring it - | 09:17 |
| ikonia | vjacob: append "single" to your boot line | 09:17 |
| vjacob | ok, trying | 09:17 |
| SolarisBoy | update-grub too | 09:18 |
| Ben64 | v2zz: dmesg? | 09:18 |

| xkcd | SolarisBoy: But for this ps auxwwww|egrep network-manager I am getting some output which contained the the --conf-file you menstioned | 09:19 |
| rico129 | any recommendations for a dock? | 09:20 |
| SolarisBoy | xkcd: oh and your saying that file is empty? | 09:20 |
| xkcd | yes | 09:20 |
| SolarisBoy | xkcd: do you have your interface configured for dhcp or static conf? | 09:21 |
| servvs | will the restore disk image in the "disks" program work with ntsf via usb? | 09:21 |
| xkcd | SolarisBoy: which interface?? I didn't get you | 09:24 |
| vjacob | I added the 'single in the linux starting with 'linux...' using the emacs-editing of grub (1.99) and then hit Ctrl-x, as the bottom lines mention | 09:25 |
| vjacob | do I have to type something else before Ctrl-x? Doing the above didn't seem to make any difference after rebooting | 09:25 |
| SolarisBoy | xkcd: it looks like you may need to open the network-manager applet in the top menu and take a look at the setting for your default interface - usually eth0 | 09:26 |
| vjacob | i.e. my line was "linux /vmlinuz-3.2.37 single root=/dev/mapper/machine-root ro" | 09:26 |
| SolarisBoy | xkcd: check to see if it's a static setting (you set the IP address and other fields manually) or if it's DHCP (it's auto configured when you get a network signal) | 09:26 |
| vjacob | trying now instead with 'single' on a separate line + ctrl-x | 09:27 |
| vjacob | not recognized | 09:27 |
| SolarisBoy | vjacob: single belongs after the ro | 09:27 |
| ikonia | vjacob: single should be the last option | 09:27 |
| vjacob | ah, thx | 09:28 |
| ikonia | %thedude_!*@* | 09:28 |
| ikonia | %*!*@95.169.240.46 | 09:28 |
| jiltdil | vjacob, use init=/bin/bash instead of single perhabs will do the trick after getting the single user mode do mount -o remount, rw / now done | 09:28 |

| FloodBot1 | ikonia: Please don't flood; use http://paste.ubuntu.com to paste; don't use Enter as punctuation. | 09:28 |

| jiltdil | vjacob, append at the end of the line | 09:29 |
| xkcd | SolarisBoy: I am using ubuntu 12.10 it has no network-manager applet | 09:29 |
| ntzrmtthihu777 | anyone aware of a command to list all installed themes? | 09:29 |
| vjacob | jiltdil, that sounds like a neat idea | 09:29 |
| SolarisBoy | xkcd: what the heckles - hrmm i just tried nm-tool and i dont see any details about dhcp/static there - let me look around.. | 09:29 |
| vjacob | trying ikonia's approach first then will try that too | 09:29 |
| zetheroo | is there a way to check that a Raid1 setup is functioning correctly? | 09:29 |
| ikonia | zetheroo: what type of raid, hardware/software/fake | 09:30 |
| jiltdil | vjacob, Both is correct , if first will not work then try second, it is more when you have password protect single usermode | 09:30 |
| zetheroo | ikonia: It's setup during Ubuntu install ... so I am guessing it's software Raid!? | 09:30 |
| TakeItEZ | xkcd: ubuntu-12.10 has that applet in the top right | 09:30 |

| ikonia | zetheroo: cat /proc/mdstat | 09:30 |
| vjacob | adding 'single' after 'ro' on that line didn't seem to make any difference (still assuming only ctrl-x is necessary to press afterwards) | 09:31 |

| zetheroo | ikonia: does this look ok ... ? http://paste.ubuntu.com/5607260/ | 09:32 |
| vjacob | I'm surprised that 'single' wouldn't work | 09:33 |

| ikonia | zetheroo: all fine | 09:33 |
| ikonia | zetheroo: it's rebuilding | 09:33 |
| SolarisBoy | i mean assuming you didn't know about using the terminal or so.. | 09:33 |
| jiltdil | vjacob, yes it would be perhabs | 09:33 |
| zetheroo | ikonia: ok nice! | 09:33 |
| ikonia | zetheroo: your performance will be bad until the rebuild finishes | 09:33 |
| vjacob | jiltdil, what would be the obvious next step? :) | 09:34 |
| xkcd | SolarisBoy: , TakeItEZ : I looked my present network's IPV4 settings it says Automatic DHCP | 09:34 |
| ikonia | zetheroo: this isn't an SSD is it (please say no) | 09:34 |
| zetheroo | ikonia: right - understood :) | 09:34 |
| jiltdil | vjacob, now do what you want ;) | 09:34 |
| zetheroo | ikonia: no ... why? | 09:34 |
| ikonia | zetheroo: that's fine, software raid mirroring wrecks them | 09:34 |
| vjacob | thanks btw ikonia for the observation that it's not a ubuntu kernel. is that based solely ont the kernel version? (12.04) | 09:34 |
| SolarisBoy | xkcd: ok | 09:34 |
| zetheroo | ikonia: ok .. good to know | 09:34 |
| xkcd | No it is not uncommented | 09:35 |
| vjacob | jiltdil, is /bin/bash not the default even without that line, and why would adding actually get me further than 'single' ? Are there other reasons than password protected single user mode? | 09:36 |
| vjacob | I don't think I have that enabled | 09:36 |
| SolarisBoy | xkcd: thats fine - i would open up network-manager applet and add a dns server to my IPv4 settings - your dhcp server may not be giving you one | 09:37 |
| vjacob | jiltdil, I have no idea what I want to do here to be honest, but I guess I will start looking around at the kernels | 09:38 |
| jiltdil | vjacob, /bin/bash ask kernel to directly give him bash | 09:38 |
| vjacob | seems strange. my /boot is empty, although my /vmlinuz points to a kernel inside /boot | 09:38 |
| SolarisBoy | xkcd: if your comfortable with 8.8.8.8 you can add that - | 09:38 |
| vjacob | in other words, that overrides the (eventual) loading of bash, as it would normally have happened (after iptables, etc finished) | 09:39 |
| vjacob | even stranger (and why I originally joined this channel to ask about this): | 09:39 |
| xkcd | SolarisBoy: What is 8.8.8.8? | 09:40 |

| DJones | rico129: That was my only thought on that issue | 09:58 |
| TakeItEZ | or at leas encrypted homes | 09:58 |
| TakeItEZ | least | 09:58 |
| BeyROBOT | hi, hows it going | 09:59 |
| SolarisBoy | TakeItEZ: ntzrmtthihu777 and that exact point is why FDE is a great option to *use* despite whatever loss of performance you get which is generally minimal | 09:59 |
| ntzrmtthihu777 | SolarisBoy: true, true. but quite frankly that's a bit much for me, I have seen too many folk in here locked out of their $HOME over that. | 09:59 |
| SolarisBoy | encrypted homes is nice - until someone wants to brute force your /etc/passwd and you find thats 'plain text' | 09:59 |
| SolarisBoy | TakeItEZ: no worries - well mailx is old and modeled after mail | 10:00 |
| SolarisBoy | it doesn't support anything other than plain text it seems =( | 10:00 |
| ntzrmtthihu777 | perhaps I could replace the pw with a function... | 10:00 |
| SolarisBoy | assuming it's interpreted as shell or something sure | 10:00 |
| SolarisBoy | if not you just broke the config - | 10:00 |
| ntzrmtthihu777 | eh, I could always delete said function and re-insert the pw. maybe I can come up with something so complicated no-one but a super hacker/mathmatician could figure it. | 10:01 |
| SolarisBoy | ntzrmtthihu777: like i said if you make the password a string that you can decrypt with say openssl - it should be hard to get a little funky pipe one liner buried somewhere and hooked into your mailx command | 10:02 |
| SolarisBoy | said one liner should simply cat | decrypt | write ; call mailx to use ; delete; exit | 10:02 |
| belgianguy | ugh, is there a way to revert from a (non PPA) AMD/ATI beta driver? Seems it's bringing more pain than gain | 10:02 |
| dr_willis | !ppa-purge | 10:03 |
| ubottu | To disable a PPA from your sources and revert your packages back to default Ubuntu packages, install ppa-purge and use the command: « sudo ppa-purge ppa:<repository-name>/<subdirectory> » – For more information, see http://www.webupd8.org/2009/12/remove-ppa-repositories-via-command.html | 10:03 |
| SolarisBoy | belgianguy: should be deleting the driver - then use ppa-purge to remove the ppa files | 10:03 |
| BeyROBOT | hi, hows it going | 10:03 |
| DJones | BeyROBOT: This is Ubuntu support, if you have an issue, feel free to ask it, if you want general chat please use /ubuntu-offtopic | 10:03 |
| SolarisBoy | belgianguy: removing the driver package rather i should say - | 10:03 |
| === robert_ is now known as Guest15756 | ||
| belgianguy | SolarisBoy: through uninstall.sh ? would that be sufficient? | 10:04 |
| belgianguy | or would I need to reactivate the OSS driver as well? | 10:04 |
| SolarisBoy | belgianguy: preferably should be using apt to remove it | 10:04 |
| SolarisBoy | belgianguy: how did you *install* it? | 10:04 |
| belgianguy | SolarisBoy: manually :( | 10:04 |
| mrawesome_ | hello | 10:04 |
| ntzrmtthihu777 | belgianguy: ouch | 10:04 |
| belgianguy | from the AMD site | 10:04 |
| SolarisBoy | so where did the ppa business come in? belgianguy ? | 10:04 |
| dr_willis | if you used apt to install. use the apt tools to remove | 10:05 |
| ntzrmtthihu777 | ppa = <3 | 10:05 |
| belgianguy | SolarisBoy: it didn't, I said 'non ppa' as in "not from a PPA" | 10:05 |
| SolarisBoy | oh my bad lol | 10:05 |
| belgianguy | but I get black flashes | 10:05 |
| SolarisBoy | belgianguy: go to the AMD/ATI site and get the removal instructions | 10:05 |
| belgianguy | and it seems a tty cursor is flashing through the Unity/Compiz desktop | 10:05 |
| dr_willis | the .run drivers incluide an --uninstall option normally | 10:05 |
| SolarisBoy | ^ - but confirm it with the ATI README or whatever it should be available | 10:06 |
| belgianguy | and black tears as if my desktop was teared apart | 10:06 |
| SolarisBoy | ./<file>.run --help even | 10:06 |
| belgianguy | ah, k, thanks dr_willis and SolarisBoy , will investigate that first | 10:06 |
| SolarisBoy | sure. | 10:06 |

| BeyROBOT | Ubuntu is the best platform in the world! :P | 10:11 |
| SolarisBoy | vjacob: whats the problem your having? | 10:12 |
| BeyROBOT | ahola! | 10:12 |
| rico129 | I don't even remember...I may have ran a remove unity command that took it all to the void? | 10:12 |
| vjacob | SolarisBoy, not being able to update grub boot options | 10:12 |
| ntzrmtthihu777 | rico129: I have never used said extension, and I have purged almost all of unity (I kept lightdm and unity-greeter because I like the purdy login screen) | 10:13 |
| SolarisBoy | vjacob: are you running update-grub after your changes? and what file are you changing? | 10:13 |
| vjacob | booting using init=/bin/bash ... # update-grub fails after finding various images with the error "/var/log/lvm: mkdir failed: No such file or directory. File-based locking init failed. done" is that going to stop me from booting normally anyways? | 10:13 |
| vjacob | not changing any file as such | 10:13 |
| selena2013 | i have the ubuntu touch circle wallpaper installed | 10:13 |
| rico129 | I just ran sudo apt.....overlay-scrollbar and it installed it. | 10:13 |

| selena2013 | yea the same one they use for the phones and tablets | 10:14 |
| vjacob | just tried rebooting | 10:14 |
| selena2013 | circle live wallpaper | 10:14 |
| rico129 | would be interesting to see what others did | 10:14 |
| vjacob | none of the kernels that seemed to be added are listed | 10:14 |
| vjacob | but I got that error at the end too | 10:14 |
| SolarisBoy | vjacob: can you pastie the full error you get on update-grub - vjacom rebooting generally isn't a good fix for anything - | 10:14 |
| SolarisBoy | *vjacob | 10:14 |
| vjacob | SolarisBoy, can't paste, it's on another machine as such (no network) | 10:15 |
| vjacob | but that's more or less the whole line above | 10:15 |
| SolarisBoy | vjacob: silly question do you use lvm or use a seperate mount for /var ? | 10:15 |
| vjacob | lvm is used, since the main partition (besides /boot) is encrypted. | 10:16 |
| ntzrmtthihu777 | rico129: http://img208.imageshack.us/img208/5788/screenshotfrom201303120.png | 10:16 |
| vjacob | so two partitions in all, but wouldn't update-grub only be modifying /boot ? | 10:17 |
| ntzrmtthihu777 | rico129: its nothing fancy, just some tweaks on an existing re-master of ubuntu. | 10:17 |
| SolarisBoy | alrighty so it's encrypted lvm - when you are in the root shell - do you see all your lvm mounts present? | 10:17 |
| SolarisBoy | vjacob: ^ | 10:17 |

| vjacob | note that I'm overriding the normal startup process using "init=/bin/bash" | 10:20 |

| SolarisBoy | vjacob: in a normal run level i dont have that folder either - but anyway no worries | 10:21 |

| rico129 | wow.. pushing 90 minutes trying to install this little weather extension. I should just reformat.. | 10:24 |
| vjacob | so that's why there's no /run/lock/lvm I guess | 10:24 |
| JoFo | Hello | 10:25 |
| vjacob | adding '/run/lock/' and then '/run/lock/lvm' seems to allow update-grub to finish | 10:25 |
| rico129 | hello JoFo | 10:25 |
| vjacob | SolarisBoy, thanks! | 10:25 |
| SolarisBoy | vjacob: /run is generally a tmpfs by the way =) | 10:25 |
| vjacob | what's the proper way to unmount everything cleanly at this point? | 10:26 |
| vjacob | reboot/hutdown don't seem to be allowed | 10:26 |
| SolarisBoy | vjacob: maybe it didn't get enabled due to your single user mode'ness - however you could have simply mounted it all the same and it should just appear and worked as well - but in that case of the latter its the proper way to do it | 10:26 |
| belgianguy | dr_willis SolarisBoy: so far, so good, uninstall --force was needed, but I still have a GUI :) | 10:26 |

| SolarisBoy | correct ^^ vjacob | 10:42 |
| SolarisBoy | check that file | 10:42 |
| vjacob | I get this: "The program 'grub' is currently not installed." | 10:42 |
| vjacob | heh | 10:42 |
| vjacob | wtf. | 10:42 |
| SolarisBoy | buahaha | 10:42 |
| SolarisBoy | but wait? | 10:42 |
| ert3go | Is downloading and extracting this https://launchpad.net/ubuntu/precise/+source/opencv/2.1.0-7build1 tar.gz package the proper way to install openCV2.1 on ubuntu? | 10:42 |
| SolarisBoy | why would you get that? | 10:42 |
| SolarisBoy | vjacob: grep not grub | 10:42 |
| vjacob | SolarisBoy, I don't know. It says grub 1.99 when booting | 10:42 |
| vjacob | aha | 10:43 |
| vjacob | :) | 10:43 |
| SolarisBoy | lol | 10:43 |
| * vjacob needs my glasses | 10:43 | |
| SolarisBoy | hehehe | 10:43 |
| vjacob | ok, get this... doing the grep (I have used this command occasionally :) | 10:43 |
| vjacob | I get all the kernels I think | 10:43 |
| vjacob | 8 lines, including the two kernels I wanted added before | 10:44 |
| SolarisBoy | hrmmm ok ok ok how about this - do you have ALOT of kernels - to the point that you may need to scroll down to see them all at boot? | 10:44 |
| SolarisBoy | because i hope this isn't the issue.. | 10:44 |
| vjacob | no, there are only 4 lines upon boot | 10:44 |
| TakeItEZ | vjacob: but those aren't shown in the boot-menu? i'd rewrite grub into mbr | 10:44 |
| vjacob | including 2 memtest | 10:44 |
| Fuzzles | how do i use the open source drivers? | 10:44 |
| vjacob | TakeItEZ, indeed... | 10:44 |
| Gyro54 | is there a simple way to install a Sierra 320u 4g modem on Lubuntu 12.04? | 10:44 |
| vjacob | TakeItEZ, how? | 10:44 |
| SolarisBoy | grub-install probably | 10:45 |
| rico129 | SolarisBoy: do you use Evolution for email? | 10:45 |
| dr_willis | Gyro54: run the proper jockey-gtk or jockey-text tool and hopefully it can download any needed drivers | 10:45 |
| TakeItEZ | vjacob:sudo grub-install /dev/sda check man-page | 10:45 |
| Guest89472 | hello folks, i have a question about usb modems and minicom in ubuntu 12.04...not sure if this is the right place to be asking though | 10:45 |
| SolarisBoy | rico129: no i use alpine | 10:45 |
| vjacob | is there any danger in doing both grub-isntall /dev/sda1 as well as grub-install /dev/sda ? | 10:46 |
| SolarisBoy | vjacob: one is not needed if you do the other | 10:46 |
| vjacob | aye | 10:46 |
| SolarisBoy | you really should be installing to the disk | 10:46 |
| Gyro54 | dr_willis: What is jockey-gtk | 10:46 |
| vjacob | gotit. thanks a bunch TakeItEZ + SolarisBoy . *crosses fingers* | 10:46 |
| dr_willis | Gyro54: the addational drivers helper tool | 10:46 |
| SolarisBoy | vjacob: np yw! | 10:46 |
| dr_willis | Gyro54: look for addational drivers in the menus | 10:46 |
| Gyro54 | dr_willis: Thanks | 10:47 |
| Fuzzles | how do i remove additional drivers thats installed and go to the open source srivers | 10:47 |
| SolarisBoy | Fuzzles: turn them off in the additional driver applet | 10:48 |
| Fuzzles | SolarisBoy, will that remove the driver, how d i install the open source driver | 10:48 |
| SolarisBoy | Fuzzles: the open source driver should be there and set to your fall back once removed @noveau | 10:49 |
| Fuzzles | SolarisBoy, ok thanks | 10:49 |
| SolarisBoy | Fuzzles: it deactivates the driver - not sure how it handles removal it deactivates and activates noveau | 10:49 |
| vjacob | SolarisBoy, :( the grub boot list is the same as before | 10:50 |
| * SolarisBoy always spells that wrong and knows it | 10:50 | |
| vjacob | I wonder if it's because it's installed to /dev/sda1 | 10:50 |
| vjacob | trying again doing it to that instead of /dev/sda | 10:50 |
| TakeItEZ | vjacob:sudo grub-install /dev/sda MBR, not into a partitions | 10:50 |
| TakeItEZ | partition* | 10:50 |
| SolarisBoy | right | 10:50 |
| vjacob | TakeItEZ, I did that before | 10:50 |
| vjacob | TakeItEZ, no change. | 10:50 |
| Novus | good loard,.. never using this system ever again | 10:50 |
| Fuzzles | SolarisBoy, ill see what happens tring to get games working such as tf2 | 10:50 |
| Novus | everytime | 10:50 |
| vjacob | Novus, what's going on? | 10:51 |
| === ubuntu is now known as Guest55662 | ||
| Novus | everyfucking time I try ubuntu since 9.10 nothign but problems! What's going on? It seems canonical is more concerned about making fuckign cell phones then a decent OS that actually works when you install the fuckign thing! I'm sick of this shit, fuck Mark, Fuck canonical, I'm out! | 10:53 |
| vjacob | TakeItEZ, well my bad idea didn't work of course :/ | 10:53 |
| vjacob | and the reason i... LVM I am guessing | 10:53 |
| vjacob | grub-etup warns about a partitionless disk | 10:54 |
| vjacob | hmm. out of ideas. | 10:54 |
| zetheroo | SolarisBoy: ok I finally found /boot/grub on 'md/0,gpt1' .... | 10:54 |
| vjacob | # grub-install /dev/sda | 10:54 |
| vjacob | "Installation finished. No error reported." | 10:55 |
| dr_willis | Novus: so do you hae an actual support question? | 10:55 |
| dr_willis | ;P | 10:55 |
| vjacob | why then aren't there other kernels showing upon boot?! | 10:55 |
| SolarisBoy | zetheroo: now check your grub.cfg and see if thats actually the root which is set. | 10:55 |
| vjacob | maybe I should do that too | 10:55 |
| zetheroo | SolarisBoy: is there a way I can boot from that device? | 10:55 |
| SolarisBoy | sure | 10:55 |
| vjacob | the menu entries are in grub.cfg | 10:56 |
| zetheroo | because it may be easier to fix stuff once in Ubuntu itself ... no!? | 10:56 |
| zetheroo | SolarisBoy: besides how does one check a config file in the Grub rescue area!? | 10:56 |
| vjacob | I feel like moving out the 3.2.37 from /boot but it seems risky. | 10:56 |
| SolarisBoy | zetheroo: type root=(md0,gpt1) | 10:57 |
| vjacob | and here I was... just wanting to use a new wireless USB NIC. | 10:57 |
| zetheroo | SolarisBoy: I already did "set root=(md0,gpt1)" | 10:57 |
| * vjacob gets off soap box | 10:57 | |
| SolarisBoy | zetheroo: then do a 'kernel /boot/kernelfilename options' and then a initrd '/boot/initramfilename' and thena 'boot' | 10:58 |
| dr_willis | vjacob: ive bought bout 4 usb dngles in the last 2 months - all worked out of the box. no issues | 10:59 |
| zetheroo | SolarisBoy: is this one command? initrd '/boot/initramfilename' | 11:00 |
| SolarisBoy | zetheroo: 'initrd /boot/initramfilename' yes | 11:01 |
| vjacob | dr_willis, thx for the info :) | 11:02 |
| vjacob | I got the Edimax EW-7811Un. | 11:03 |
| vjacob | since it was recommended for Raspberry Pi too | 11:03 |
| vjacob | but I digress. got them grub blues. | 11:04 |
| === fisted_ is now known as fisted | ||
| SolarisBoy | vjacob: maybe try a fsck ? | 11:04 |
| SolarisBoy | not saying that will work but it's pretty weird | 11:04 |
| vjacob | aye, trying | 11:04 |
| zetheroo | SolarisBoy: when I try to do the kernel command I get unknown command 'kernel' | 11:05 |
| SolarisBoy | zetheroo: oh my bad in grub2 it's linux instead of kernel | 11:05 |
| SolarisBoy | 'linux /boot/kernelaname options' | 11:05 |
| zetheroo | SolarisBoy: I tried linux instead of kernel and its the same unknown command 'linux' | 11:06 |
| vjacob | SolarisBoy, I can't, it's encrypted and fsck.crypto_LUKS is not found | 11:06 |
| vjacob | (since / was unmounted) | 11:06 |
| SolarisBoy | zetheroo: doesn't sound like your in grub1 or grub2 then..... | 11:08 |
| zetheroo | SolarisBoy: no idea ... all I did was install Ubuntu Server 12.04 on a brand new system ... ;) | 11:09 |
| vjacob | thanks for all your consideration. | 11:09 |
| vjacob | gonna take a break. | 11:09 |
| SolarisBoy | ok | 11:09 |
| vjacob | everything was working fine until this morning for a month. | 11:09 |
| SolarisBoy | zetheroo: try it again from the set root= portion | 11:10 |
| SolarisBoy | zetheroo: note that there are no qoutes in the actual commands. | 11:10 |
| rico129 | bedtime. Thanks for the help everyone. | 11:10 |
| zetheroo | yeah I have tried it several times with no luck | 11:11 |
| vjacob | SolarisBoy, is it strange that 'grub' is not installed, while 'grub-install' and 'update-grub' is ? | 11:11 |
| SolarisBoy | vjacob: is grub2 installed? | 11:11 |
| SolarisBoy | vjacob: it seems more like a command-not-found blooper lol | 11:12 |
| vjacob | I don't think grub2 is installed | 11:12 |
| SolarisBoy | it should be.. | 11:12 |
| SolarisBoy | if it's a default installation and all | 11:12 |
| vjacob | how can I check? | 11:12 |
| Ben64 | dpkg -l | grep grub | 11:13 |
| vjacob | dpkg -i doesn't let me finish due to being on a read-only fs | 11:13 |
| SolarisBoy | dpkg -l 'grub*' | 11:13 |
| SolarisBoy | vjacob: did the remount rw not work for you? | 11:13 |
| oskar- | zetheroo: why do you use gpt? i assume, your problems are caused by grub not well supporting gtp | 11:13 |
| oskar- | gpt | 11:13 |
| SolarisBoy | vjacob: it's dpkg -l for listing btw -i is for installing | 11:14 |
| SolarisBoy | listing should indeed by r/o | 11:14 |
| vjacob | I thought it was working, but hmm, not sure | 11:14 |
| zetheroo | oskar-: yeah you are probably right ..... but like I said .... this is just a simple Ubuntu install with RAID1 ... I did not try anything funny | 11:14 |
| zetheroo | oskar-: so why it's using gpt I have no clue | 11:14 |
| SolarisBoy | vjacob: easy to tell after you do it type 'mount' and observe the line correlating to your / mount point you will see if it's currently ro or rw | 11:14 |
| oskar- | zetheroo: is the disk size above 2 tb? | 11:15 |
| zetheroo | oskar-: the RAID1 on which Ubuntu is installed is comprised of 2 x 1TB HDD's | 11:15 |
| vjacob | ok, it looks like it's rw, but I actually don't see mention of /. | 11:15 |
| SolarisBoy | but it's a mirror so it's 1TB | 11:15 |
| zetheroo | oskar-: there are also 2 x 3TB HDD's in the machine untouched | 11:16 |
| vjacob | I see mentioned: /proc, /sys, /sys/fs/fuse/connections, /sys/kernel/debug + ecurity /dev /dev /pts /run/lock /run/shm /run/lock | 11:16 |
| SolarisBoy | zetheroo: but they aren't a part of the md0 right? | 11:16 |
| zetheroo | SolarisBoy: right - only the 2 x 1TB HDD's | 11:16 |
| SolarisBoy | vjacob: heh ok | 11:16 |
| oskar- | zetheroo: maybe the installer is guessing to better use gpt because of their existence | 11:16 |
| vjacob | 'grub*' ? | 11:17 |
| SolarisBoy | zetheroo: oskar- does have a point however - usually i see the labels as msdos partitions in grub | 11:17 |
| SolarisBoy | not gpt* | 11:17 |
| zetheroo | oskar-: no, I tried the Ubuntu install without the 2 x 3TB HDD's in there and it was the same issue | 11:17 |
| SolarisBoy | is there previous labeling on he disks though? | 11:18 |
| vjacob | #dpkg -l 'grub*' | 11:18 |
| vjacob | un grub | 11:19 |
| vjacob | un grub2 | 11:19 |
| vjacob | ii grub-common | 11:19 |
| vjacob | ii grub-coreboot | 11:19 |
| SolarisBoy | uh oh | 11:19 |
| vjacob | ii grub-gfxpayloa | 11:19 |
| vjacob | ii grub-pc | 11:19 |
| vjacob | ii grub-pc-bin | 11:19 |
| zetheroo | SolarisBoy: what do you mean? | 11:19 |
| SolarisBoy | im wondering why it's using gpt. | 11:20 |
| vjacob | ii grub2-common | 11:20 |
| SolarisBoy | vjacob: use pastebin in the future for long output. | 11:20 |
| vjacob | sorry | 11:20 |
| psakrii | any pointers for creating debian packages for web applications ? | 11:20 |
| SolarisBoy | fine with me =) | 11:20 |
| vjacob | so it looks like grub _is_ installed (version 2) for PC/BIOS | 11:21 |
| SolarisBoy | psakrii: why would you need to debian package a *web app*? | 11:21 |
| oskar- | zetheroo: do you have any uefi stuff in the mainboard activated? i don't know much about uefi/gpt, except that it is somehow related | 11:21 |
| vjacob | at least grub-pc and grub-pc-bin. I assume that 'grub' and 'grub2' are not necessary. | 11:21 |
| SolarisBoy | vjacob: possible | 11:21 |
| zetheroo | oskar-: very possibly ... should I disable it if it's enabled | 11:22 |
| SolarisBoy | grub is deprecated - i thought grub2 was default | 11:22 |
| PrincessLuna | How can I right click with a touchscreen? | 11:22 |
| psakrii | SolarisBoy: it would be easy for setting up the web app on local or staging servers | 11:22 |
| zetheroo | oskar-: actually I am certain there is something liek that enabled | 11:22 |
| oskar- | zetheroo: you could try it, and then ubuntu might not get the idea to use gpt | 11:22 |
| zetheroo | oskar-: should I disable it and reinstall Ubuntu? | 11:22 |
| SolarisBoy | psakrii: so you want to package the application code? | 11:22 |
| vjacob | well I don't remember diverging form the defaults, and I've only ever been suggested to install grub-pc/grub-pc-bin. no mention of grub2 missing before | 11:22 |
| SolarisBoy | psakrii: what does the application run in? | 11:22 |
| vjacob | but I can't rule out that my system has been tampered with. | 11:22 |
| zetheroo | oskar-: ok ... but should I reinstall Ubuntu as well ? | 11:22 |
| psakrii | SolarisBoy: its runs on PHP | 11:23 |
| SolarisBoy | psakrii: use git | 11:23 |
| oskar- | zetheroo: depends on your decision, how much time you want to invest to get the current installation working... | 11:23 |
| WhiteHippo | Hi all. I have an issue with ubuntu 12.10/cinnamon/banshee. my taskbar turns all pixelated where the icons are supposed to be after a few hours of having banshee running. | 11:24 |
| WhiteHippo | ideas ? | 11:24 |
| WhiteHippo | and also my text is all grey. is that normal ? | 11:24 |
| Ben64 | we can't help you with cinnamon :( | 11:24 |
| psakrii | SolarisBoy: that would be for version controlling i m talking about setting up the web app along with dependencies | 11:24 |
| SolarisBoy | psakrii: no - that would be for deploying to your web root - | 11:24 |
| WhiteHippo | can you point me to someplace with cinnamon help Ben64? | 11:24 |
| oskar- | zetheroo: with uefi/gpt disabled and normal dos partitions a new installation should work out of the box | 11:24 |
| Touhou11 | WhiteHippo: Try a less buggy DE, like XFCE | 11:24 |
| WhiteHippo | DE = ? | 11:25 |
| SolarisBoy | psakrii: use submodules - generally people package binary executables - not simply the web files that compile a web app - so im just saying using git and submodules you can pull the app easily (local/dev) and deploy it in the same hand | 11:25 |
| Ben64 | WhiteHippo: i dunno, check the cinnamon website? | 11:25 |
| WhiteHippo | XFCE = ? (sorry. ubuntu noob) | 11:25 |
| WhiteHippo | ah. ill do that. | 11:25 |
| SolarisBoy | psakrii: but if your intent on having a debian package it's really nto hard at all to unwrap some files to a location - would be a pretty shallow package though - | 11:25 |
| psakrii | SolarisBoy: hmmm ok cool any specific reason why only binary executables are packaged | 11:26 |
| psakrii | ? | 11:26 |
| SolarisBoy | psakrii: i didn't say *only* i said generally - because thats how packages are delivered - your talking a web app | 11:26 |
| oskar- | zetheroo: and for array created from the bigger disks you could simply use no partitions, but instead create a LVM physical volume directly on top of it | 11:27 |
| oskar- | +the | 11:27 |
| SolarisBoy | it's code in files under a WEB_ROOT - people generally use git - or whatever to control what appears there - in the same hand a git clone to a WEB_ROOT of a working PHP app - is in turn - deploying it. | 11:27 |
| Touhou11 | It matters more with web software to have the latest stable version, because of security issues. So it's not a good idea to use old versions in repositories | 11:27 |
| TakeItEZ | psakrii: there are also packages for stuff like wordpress, drupal etc | 11:27 |
| SolarisBoy | which i was going to mention - if your intent on having something like this - take a look at how they do those ones which are generally a copy of files to a location - | 11:28 |
| SolarisBoy | BUT they generally also setup a web conf for apache and bounce the web server as well - | 11:28 |

| psakrii | l | 11:30 |
| SolarisBoy | psakrii: you can do that debian package thing but if your developing trust me - git is easier - think code changes... do you want developers to have to reinstall myapp-deb-package on each code change or do a git pull? | 11:30 |
| Seveas | dawkirst: 3rp party software installed with another mechanism than .deb files | 11:30 |
| psakrii | SolarisBoy: Git pull will only update the code rite but will not update the dependencies | 11:31 |
| dawkirst | Seveas, ok...so this tutorial is misleading? http://www.technoreply.com/how-to-install-sublime-text-2-on-ubuntu-12-04-unity/ | 11:31 |
| SolarisBoy | psakrii: it depends on what you consider dependancies and how your "dependancies" are tied into your repo | 11:31 |
| zetheroo | I cannot find where to disable UEFI in the server BIOS | 11:31 |
| psakrii | TakeItEZ: thanks i was talking about packaging web app like deb packages | 11:32 |

When i put the same folder in my home folder, when i double click the applicaiton it opens as a text fire.. i dont see any options in the right click menu.. how can i get it working there? | 11:32 |
| MakiAto | hi brothers | 11:32 |
| Seveas | yes. that symlink into /usr/bin is wrong, you could put it in /usr/local/bin (same for the desktop file, should go in /usr/local/share) | 11:32 |
| SolarisBoy | psakrii: EG if your dependancies is another set of code for instance maybe some python or something - maybe you want to make that a submodule - in where it's like a git repo within another git repo and with seperate versions - from there you can do things with hooks that git doesn't already do by default to manage deps | 11:32 |
| Seveas | dawkirst: /usr/local is for 'sysadmin installed local things' | 11:33 |
| dawkirst | Seveas, ok, thanks :) | 11:33 |
| SolarisBoy | psakrii: if you mean deps as in - it installs system based application components (like binary & library files) statefully on disk, no git does not do that | 11:33 |
| dawkirst | Seveas, the /opt reference is correct then, right? | 11:33 |
| psakrii | SolarisBoy: yes thats what i meant | 11:34 |
| SolarisBoy | psakrii: how many times does one need to install apache? and is it needed to install apache each time you deploy your application? maybe im getting a little too consulty =)... | 11:34 |
| Capprentice | what gnome themes are available for ubuntu 12.04 ? | 11:35 |
| SolarisBoy | thats my job but - yea - its up to you - seems clunky though - 'reinstall apache/redeploy code' vs 'git pull' on a system that _already_ has those things installed - unless it's required | 11:36 |
| === mpmc|Away is now known as mpmc | ||

| Capprentice | Can anyone confirm whether Intel Linux Graphics installer works or not ? - https://01.org/linuxgraphics/downloads/2013/intel-linux-graphics-installer | 11:37 |
| SolarisBoy | i would opt for telling my developers to already have system utilities to test/run web apps on their systems - and then enforce the git repo on them | 11:37 |
| Seveas | dawkirst: yeah | 11:37 |
| SolarisBoy | psakrii: in your case if thats what your bent on - it sounds like you would want to make a custom debian package with dependancies of it's own | 11:38 |
| Touhou11 | I would avoid git if you can, there are many decent SCMs out there | 11:38 |
| Seveas | git is a decent scm, it's great even :) | 11:38 |
| psakrii | SolarisBoy: yes i want to try it out | 11:38 |
| SolarisBoy | psakrii: like TakeItEZ mentioned check out the drupal.deb file - you can unarchive it and look at it | 11:38 |
| psakrii | SolarisBoy: ok that should help !! thanks a lot | 11:39 |
| BluesKaj | Hiyas all | 11:39 |

| SolarisBoy | mercurial? really? | 11:41 |
| * SolarisBoy dies | 11:41 | |
| Touhou11 | SolarisBoy: So it's intentionally difficult to use? Think about what you're saying. The same tasks in Fossil or Mercurial are much quicker to accomplish, you don't have to work around a ridiculous interface | 11:41 |

| _ultimate | i have two identical omnikey card readers installed on ubuntu after rebooting they get confused and i have to start swapping the ports around to get them to work again, can somebody help me lock the ids of the readers with udev or similar | 12:18 |
| SolarisBoy | _ultimate: do you know the kernel device names for each reader? | 12:19 |
| _ultimate | i think i can find that out | 12:21 |
| _ultimate | lsusb should list that am i correct | 12:21 |
| vjacob | TakeItEZ, ah.. I'm on 12.04. | 12:22 |
| vjacob | histo, rtl8192cu | 12:22 |
| vjacob | good to read about 12.10 though | 12:22 |
| SolarisBoy | _ultimate: somewhat you can probably match on the ID's if they are different with udev, do those readers create any sort of device path under /dev ? | 12:22 |
| one | back | 12:23 |
| _ultimate | SolarisBoy, how do i check that with udev | 12:23 |
| one | make me King as we move toward a one world order | 12:23 |
| one | Novus Ordo Domini | 12:24 |
| SolarisBoy | _ultimate: check your dmesg output and see if you can find the associated device(s) names that are under /dev - when you get them use udevadm info -a -n /dev/<device_name> to get the udev attributes | 12:24 |
| DJones | one: Stop the offtopic comments | 12:24 |
| one | DJones: no u | 12:25 |
| SolarisBoy | _ultimate: another thing you can do is run udevadm monitor while plugging something in and out of the reader - it should print the kernel names and any custom attributes you can match on | 12:25 |
| _ultimate | just looking | 12:27 |
| vjacob | TakeItEZ, the trick seems to be simple. 'make; make install; modprobe 8192cu'. it's working now. thanks for the help earlier. | 12:29 |
| vjacob | apart from that I had a few password authentication problems, but they appear to be solved now. not withstanding the antenna mode/password authentication mode. | 12:33 |
| TakeItEZ | vjacob: just remember you need to build it again, everytime your kernel gets updated | 12:33 |

| _ultimate | where can i search for the dev name | 12:47 |

| lattera | in fact, there is a page that lists all the glibc versions in each release, but for some reason 10.04 was skipped | 12:50 |
| momin90909 | that is as simple | 12:50 |

| akaariai | I am having annoying problem where USB keyboard drops a couple of first characters when I start typing. Maybe some sort of power management problem? I am using Ubuntu 12.04. Any pointers where to look for solution? | 14:02 |
| killer | jrib: do i need to open a specific port before sshing into a machine | 14:03 |
| Poindexter_ | Akaariai, perhaps someone spilled liquid in the keyboard. That is a major problem these days. | 14:03 |
| jrib | killer: you need to install the openssh-server on the machine you want to ssh into. Have you done that? Whether you need to open ports, depends on whether you've closed them and your network setup | 14:04 |
| Poindexter_ | Try another keyboard first. | 14:04 |
| Poindexter_ | If the problem persists then set your default settings to another setting. Make sure that your keyboard is for the country you are in. | 14:05 |
| akaariai | Poindexter_: OK, will try those first. | 14:07 |
| Poindexter_ | Try using another keyboard first. | 14:07 |
| Poindexter_ | That should tell you everything. | 14:07 |
| akaariai | OK, will see if I can find one somewhere. | 14:08 |
| Poindexter_ | If you have the same problem try two keyboards just to make sure that some donkey didn't spill some liquid on they keyboard. | 14:09 |

| === ogra_` is now known as ogra_ | ||
| jrib | delinquentme: ask #ruby for help with ruby. I would just use sed for what you described originally. But any language would be fine | 14:26 |
| jrib | delinquentme: or is this the file that you want to modify and make copies of? | 14:26 |
| ejv | jony: http://www.samba.org/samba/docs/using_samba/ch09.html | 14:26 |
| delinquentme | I was hoping to iterate through the vars in a linux shell util | 14:27 |
| delinquentme | and create that ruby file | 14:27 |
| Guest74335 | how can I install nvidia-current on 12.04.2? it depends upon xserver-xorg-core | 14:27 |
| jrib | delinquentme: define "the vars" | 14:27 |
| delinquentme | citations covariates cultivars ensembles entities errors formats managements methods pfts priors sites species traits treatments users variables yields | 14:27 |
| jrib | delinquentme: is that what's inside the parentheses in your first line? | 14:28 |
| ejv | jony: https://help.ubuntu.com/community/Samba/SambaClientGuide is also quite a good reference | 14:28 |
| delinquentme | jrib, correct | 14:28 |

| kk0710 | Hey guys, I am running ubuntu on my windows machine in a VM. I set up ssh and it works locally but I want to be able to ssh into it from school. I assume that setting up a dns server is the way to go? If so what is the recommended site to use? | 14:29 |
| delinquentme | jrib you're right ... except other than these first tests ... alot of the code needs to be specified to each variable | 14:29 |
| huttan | kk0710: forward port 22 from ur home router to the computer with ssh, thats what u need =) | 14:30 |
| ejv | kk0710: dns has absolutely nothing to do with it, who told you that... | 14:30 |
| huttan | kk0710: dont matter if its virtual or not | 14:30 |
| delinquentme | so theres not much overlap ... IE all the files once created, will be running different code | 14:30 |
| kk0710 | let me rephrase | 14:30 |
| kk0710 | my public IP is dynamic | 14:30 |
| kk0710 | I know I need to forward port 22 from router to machine, but need a way to access my public ip | 14:31 |
| ejv | !enter | kk0710 | 14:31 |
| ubottu | kk0710: Please try to keep your questions/responses on one line. Don't use the "Enter" key as punctuation! | 14:31 |
| jrib | delinquentme: make some version of the file with XXX everywhere you want the variable to go. Then you can do « for var in citations covariates cultivars ensembles ...; do sed "s/XXX/$var"; done ». Is that what you were thinking of? | 14:31 |
| huttan | kk0710: sign up to dyndns or some other service that allows u to assign an easy host to ur IP | 14:31 |
| kk0710 | Yah those whole 3 lines were so troublesome lol. | 14:31 |
| kk0710 | Thank you huttan, sorry I didn't clarify my question previously | 14:31 |
| kk0710 | Not sure dyndns is free though | 14:32 |
| ejv | The *good* consumer routers on the market include APIs to plug into _many_ DNS services including DynDNS, No-IP, FreeDNS, etc. that will perform updates *for* you. | 14:32 |
| huttan | kk0710: not sure havent used it for years ... | 14:32 |
| jrib | kk0710: pick any service that ddclient or inadyn support... | 14:33 |
| kk0710 | huttan: yah it's not free. | 14:33 |
| ejv | As far as enter as punctuation, time to kick bad habits early. | 14:33 |
| huttan | kk0710: try one of the ones ejv wrote out | 14:33 |
| jrib | delinquentme: maybe add "/g" to the end of the regexp... | 14:35 |
| delinquentme | jrib, if you had to give one linux util which would give me a massive step in the direction of a 10x programmer | 14:35 |
| delinquentme | which util? | 14:36 |
| jrib | delinquentme: 10x programmer? What is that? | 14:36 |
| huttan | delinquentme: what do you mean with that ? | 14:36 |
| delinquentme | huttan, jrib the famed concept of a really good programmer can be 10x as efficient as their peers | 14:37 |
| belgianguy | hi, I'm on 12.10 but I can't close my lid without the screen going black | 14:37 |
| delinquentme | I see this kind of meta programming as one of those tools | 14:37 |
| belgianguy | and I need to reboot | 14:37 |
| jrib | delinquentme: I don't know that such a thing exists. But I suppose one piece of advice would be to pick a good text editor and learn it well (vim or emacs for example). This kind of discussion would be more appropriate in #ubuntu-offtopic though; we can continue there if you want | 14:38 |
| huttan | delinquentme: if u wanna learn an efficient language, try ruby | 14:39 |

| holstein | _ultimate: i dont know if that is a port issue.. when you reboot with just one in at a time, does that work? | 15:15 |
| _ultimate | i want ubuntu to remember what is connected to each port after i reboot | 15:15 |
| _ultimate | yes it works fine holstein | 15:15 |
| ejv | Claude_: it sounds like you want to use smbfs or cifs-utils | 15:15 |
| _ultimate | it also works fine with debian | 15:15 |
| Fuzzles | k1l, because when i play a game with steam it askeds t update open gl | 15:16 |
| _ultimate | with both of them debian is fine, but i have found debian a bit sad lol | 15:16 |
| BLZbubba | hi guys, when I adjust the resolution and rotation in the Settings, where does it store that configuration info? | 15:16 |
| ejv | Claude_: https://wiki.ubuntu.com/MountWindowsSharesPermanently | 15:16 |
| holstein | Fuzzles: the kernel upgrade is what "broke" it.. you can either not upgrade the kernel, or just reinstall the drivers.. you choose to maintain your drivers manually when you install them manually | 15:16 |
| BLZbubba | for some reason it is stuck on Clockwise even though I need CCW | 15:16 |
| _ultimate | i remember doing this a long time ago but i cannot remember how i did it | 15:16 |
| Fuzzles | holstein, how do i do that when i i rebooted i just got a black screen so i couldnt reinstall it | 15:17 |
| holstein | Fuzzles: you can boot the older kernel and remove.. you can use tty to do it from the command line.. you can just boot the older kernel that is working and use that one | 15:17 |

| Fashdey | Hey :) - I have ubuntu server ed. 12.10, I want to make a full backup (like image to install if system should break) anyone got a solution for that? (I do NOT have physical access to this machine) | 15:18 |
| ejv | Fashdey: man rsync, man dd | 15:18 |
| Fuzzles | holstein, i think i tried to boot the old one but it wouldnt, is there anyway to get steal wrking with the supported driver? | 15:18 |
| holstein | Fashdey: without physical access, just copy over what file you want/need.. | 15:19 |
| fhedstrom | Is it possible to somehow configure an email account with exchange 2010? | 15:19 |
| Fashdey | Ejv, I will try to check them out :) | 15:19 |
| holstein | Fuzzles: you think? try for certain.. at boot time.. from the grum menu, under the older kernels menu.. you can remove whatever driver you installed by whatever method the creator suggests via TTY | 15:20 |
| holstein | fhedstrom: i would ask in an exchange support venue | 15:20 |
| Claude_ | @ejv ok thanks for the link i will try that | 15:20 |
| Fashdey | holstein Also if I want to make a full backup, to just paste into a fresh installed ubuntu? | 15:20 |
| Fuzzles | holstein, i cant now i did i reinstall acouple of days ago, so your saying if i boot into the old kernal removed the driver and then booted back into the new kernal and reinstall the driver? | 15:21 |
| holstein | Fashdey: i would just copy my data, and put it back.. dd as ejv mentioned.. i use clonezilla when i do have access | 15:21 |
| lattera | yay, got the source to libc for ubuntu 10.04 | 15:21 |
| lattera | after I install it, though, everything segfaults, heh | 15:21 |

| lattera | anyone know the proper steps to installing a custom glibc? | 15:22 |
| meLon | I am trying to get three monitors working with two Radeon HD 6950's. I was planning on having two share an XScreen, and create a secondary X Screen for my third monitor.

| lattera | ejv: a bug in llvm's interaction with the rtld | 15:22 |
| holstein | Fuzzles: im saying.. boot the older kernel. if it boots, the kernel upgrade is what "broke" the driver. you reinsatll the driver module into the newer kernel, or just use the older kernel, or remove the driver and use the one from the repos | 15:22 |
| gabkdlly | I am playing around with byobu, and I really like it. But when I open vim with multiple tabs, ctrl-pgdn does not work. Why? | 15:22 |
| ejv | you should use a more appropriate environment, perhaps gentoo and their overlay system if you're mucking about glibc | 15:23 |
| ejv | good luck to you | 15:23 |
| thek_ | Question: How can I easily get the currently configured DNS servers from Network manager if I'm getting this information through DHCP? | 15:23 |

| tgm4883 | thek_, nm-tool | 15:23 |
| thek_ | tgm4883 cool, thanks. | 15:24 |
| Fuzzles | holstein, how would i reinstall the driver in the new kernel, do i need to be booted in that kernel? | 15:24 |
| holstein | Fuzzles: you can use TTY, if you cant get into a graphical environment.. and just follow the procedure the creator suggests | 15:25 |
| irv | what's terminal command to allow encrypted dvds to play on ubuntu? | 15:25 |
| irv | 12.10 | 15:25 |
| Fuzzles | holstein, whats tty | 15:25 |
| holstein | !tty | Fuzzles | 15:25 |
| ubottu | Fuzzles: To get to the TTY terminals 1-6, use the keystroke ctrl + alt + F1-F6 respectively (Alt+F7 will get you back to your graphical login). To change the resolution for your TTY, see https://help.ubuntu.com/community/ChangeTTYResolution | 15:25 |

| cronus | lattera, why dont you use 10.04 then? (either in a vm or in chroot) | 15:27 |
| lattera | I am | 15:27 |
| lattera | but I need a non-stripped version of glibc | 15:27 |
| Fuzzles | holstein, ok ill go back to using the driver from their site and if i have this problem again ill try the tty like you said :) thanks learn something new every day | 15:28 |
| jrib | lattera: there are unstripped packages somewhere. hold on | 15:28 |

| holstein | Fuzzles: tty is just a text console where you can work from if you cant get to the desktop.. there is also the recovery console options at boot | 15:28 |
| Jinxed- | How can I migrate my entire setup exactly, but to a smaller harddrive safely and easily | 15:29 |
| DarthEaron | so i get prompted with tty1 when i log in and when i press CTRL + ALT + F7 its just gibberish to me, i tryed logging into tty1 and issuing "sudo service lightdm restart" but on only brings be back to the F7 thing. i think i should mention that this happened exactly after rebooting after installing the nvidia propriatary drivers... | 15:29 |
| cronus | lattera, you could check if there is a debug package glibc-dbg or something | 15:29 |
| holstein | Jinxed-: i use clonezilla | 15:29 |
| ee12155 | #prog1 | 15:29 |
| ee12155 | #prog1 | 15:29 |
| Jinxed- | holstein, clonezilla is fantastic but only if the destination drive is greater than or requal | 15:29 |
| irv | also, is there any way to get into a ubuntu install remotely by default? | 15:29 |
| irv | ssh? vnc? | 15:29 |
| holstein | Jinxed-: i shrink them clone | 15:30 |
| holstein | then* | 15:30 |
| irv | or an easy command i can give the end user to enable ssh/vnc? | 15:30 |
| DarthEaron | normally i would google this kind of thing but i cant luanch gui, also i tryed backing up xorg.conf and then restoring it from the old one then rebooting but nothing | 15:30 |
| holstein | i have my data backed up before starting | 15:30 |
| Jinxed- | holstein, you shrink your partitions then clone? | 15:30 |
| cronus | lattera, apt-get source might be a good way to get the code and build it yourself with debuild | 15:30 |
| Fuzzles | holstein, ye like a terminal where you can run commands, i tried the recovery console but could work it maybe next time ill have some idea | 15:30 |
| mrAlmond | join #lxde | 15:31 |
| mrAlmond | ops sorry | 15:31 |
| DarthEaron | anyone have any idea? or at least let me know were i can find help? | 15:31 |
| holstein | Jinxed-: correct | 15:31 |
| tgm4883 | irv, wouldn't the end user still need to work our port forwarding and their public IP address? | 15:31 |
| holstein | DarthEaron: how are you failing to get to a GUI? can you get to tty? can you login as your user? | 15:32 |
| Fuzzles | holstein, actually now i thnk about it when it booted after updates it didnt go into unity it made me login to a black screen with text which sounds like the tty your on about right? | 15:32 |
| irv | tgm4883: it's a remote site for my work, i have a VPN connection there | 15:32 |
| irv | I can ping their workstation, but can't SSH | 15:32 |
| irv | or vnc heh | 15:32 |
| irv | so if i can give them a terminal command to type in to enable that, i can fix the rest of their issues without making the drive | 15:32 |
| tgm4883 | irv, so for SSH, they would need to install the ssh server "sudo apt-get install ssh" should do it | 15:32 |
| irv | i just forgot to turn on ssh when i wasup there | 15:32 |
| irv | thx | 15:32 |
| DarthEaron | holstein: yes i can, im on the computer now using irc in tty1, tty7 shows like gui tryed to launch but didnt, when i boot ubuntu all i get is tty1, i tried sudo service start lightdm and stop and restart but does not work... | 15:33 |
| holstein | DarthEaron: startx might kick out some handy errors.. i would try renaming the xorg.conf.. i would try forcing vesa.. i would remove any drivers you recently installed.. i would try the graphics recovery option | 15:34 |

| ert3go | Hello, can someone help me install openCV 2.1 on ubuntu 12.04? | 16:38 |
| jrtappers | ShapeShifter499, Depends, 2048 is the Default, 4096 is very high. Is this for a personal machine? | 16:39 |
| jrtappers | Your main security focus should be on securing the private key, If an attacker got that it wouldn't matter about key length, unless it has a password | 16:40 |
| ShapeShifter499 | jrtappers, I have a 25 alphanumeric passphrase on the key | 16:42 |
| shade34321 | if i'm tarring a file can I do this tar czvf /some_other_dir/tar_dir.tgz dirname/ to tar it in another directory? | 16:42 |
| jrtappers | ShapeShifter499, Is it a home machine, or not? I usually go with 4096 and Fail2Ban for extra security | 16:43 |
| llutz | shade34321: sure | 16:43 |
| jrtappers | *well, less log file mess | 16:43 |
| shade34321 | llutz: thanks, didn't want to try it before I checked because the data is crucial and therefore can not be lost. Thanks! | 16:43 |

| guffytf | Oh, I just tried head, and it displayed loads of data all on one line. Maybe my end-of-line characters are wrong?? | 16:50 |
| ShapeShifter499 | jrtappers, weird though I can't seem to go beyond that value, I get an error " key bits exceeds maximum 16384" | 16:50 |
| ShapeShifter499 | jrtappers, same error on my netbook | 16:52 |
| jrtappers | 16384 * 2 = 32768, may be the problem | 16:52 |
| jrtappers | 32768 is listed as the max length so there may be bugs at half full length, seems like too close for coincidence | 16:53 |

| Shibumi | s9iper1 Or whatever touchpad driver your ubuntu is using | 19:16 |
| Shibumi | s9iper1 Isn't it synaptics-input-x86 or something like that now? | 19:17 |
| dhci | pepon did you try running 'dmesg' from a console to see if it listed as a /dev/ device? also /dev/disk/by-uuid can sometimes show it as a device entry that you can mount | 19:17 |

| holstein | karsten: i mean, the version i just linked for the player the site suggests you use | 20:33 |
| holstein | karsten: if its not flash, then its not flash.. flash fixes wont do it.. but if you are using a ramdom repackaged version from ppa, the site doesnt suggest that.. they suggest the one i linked, and asked if you are running.. and you are not | 20:33 |
| KeyboardNotFound | can i download and run ubottu script ? | 20:34 |
| karsten | i have no clue about how to get non .deb packages running | 20:34 |
| holstein | karsten: there is documentation at the link i gave, that i got from the main site | 20:35 |
| karsten | holstein, ok i'll look into it, i was suggested to always use repositories. i'll give it a try | 20:35 |
| holstein | karsten: http://www.sopcast.com/info/contact.html is where i would go for help, since everything else is fine.. after trying the version they suggest | 20:35 |
| holstein | karsten: i dont find a version in the repositories.. you said you added a ppa, correct? | 20:36 |
| karsten | holstein, if i'll follow their guide i should uninstall the package i already have ? | 20:36 |
| holstein | karsten: the package you have, which *didnt* come from the repositories isnt working, correct? | 20:37 |

| fbdystang | Hi, noob question. In ubuntu, I have PHP, MySQL and Apache installed. Where do I find the sendmail script file? Is it a part of Ubuntu, PHP, or Apache? | 20:41 |
| tgm4883 | fbdystang, do you have a path to the file? | 20:42 |
| bekks | fbdystang: What do you mean by "sendmail script file"? | 20:42 |
| holstein | karsten: it wasnt int he default repos.. and if you have no idea where it came from, you cant ask for help. i would remove it, and install the suggested one.. or deal with the issue | 20:42 |
| karsten | holstein, going to try it now, sopcast player wasn't in any official repository anywhere | 20:43 |
| fbdystang | I am using a program that by default calls /usr/sbin/sendmail however, I go to that path and do not find a file. So I am wondering which piece I am missing from PHP, ubuntu, or apache to get it working | 20:44 |
| achandra | fbdystang, you need to install sendmail if you want that as your smtp relay . its not part of php,mysql or apache | 20:44 |
| fbdystang | achandra: sudo apt get install sendmail? | 20:45 |
| bekks | fbdystang: You are missing a MTA. Either sendmail, postfix, exim, qmail, ssmtp, or whatever. | 20:45 |
| achandra | fbdystang, ^^ exactly | 20:45 |
| achandra | fbdystang, yes that is correct if you want sendmail.. | 20:46 |
| fbdystang | bekks, achandra, Got it, what does a lamp stack normally use | 20:46 |
| achandra | fbdystang, are u trying to install a specific set of these packages for a reason? what are u trying to achieve ? | 20:47 |
| tgm4883 | hmm, fun fact. /usr/sbin/sendmail doesn't appear to be in the sendmail package | 20:48 |
| M1cha | Hi, I thinking about buying a new laptop but it has 1080p at 15.6inch(my current is 1366x768 at 15.6inch) and I fear that the UI will be very smalli in Ubuntu. Does Ubuntu support full dpi-sclaing like android? Last time I tried this only fonts could be scaled. | 20:48 |
| bekks | fbdystang: The MTA thgat the admin chooses to install. | 20:48 |
| gnuskool | fbdystang: sendmail on the isps i use | 20:48 |
| fbdystang | achandra, actually, I installed phpscheduleit on a server a long time ago, and I can't remember what I set up. Everything else works perfectly, but no mail. | 20:48 |
| kalenjohnson | M1cha, actually I find the UI in ubuntu pretty comfortable. I have the same res and screen size as you | 20:49 |
| kalenjohnson | but then again, I've been using it for a few years | 20:49 |
| fbdystang | the default in the config file is usr/bin/sendmail so I am wondering what program usually utilizes that file | 20:49 |
| kalenjohnson | M1cha, I think you adjust pretty quickly though, and unless you have eye problems, you will appreciate all the screnen real estate | 20:49 |
| harrisr | can i use a picture as a certain folders icon | 20:50 |
| karsten | holstein, seems i get an error with the suggested install too | 20:50 |
| llutz | !find /usr/sbin/sendmail | 20:50 |
| ubottu | File /usr/sbin/sendmail found in citadel-mta, courier-mta, dma, esmtp-run, exim4-daemon-heavy, exim4-daemon-light, lsb-invalid-mta, masqmail, msmtp-mta, nullmailer (and 5 others) http://packages.ubuntu.com/search?searchon=contents&keywords=/usr/sbin/sendmail&mode=&suite=quantal&arch=any | 20:50 |
| llutz | fbdystang: there you go | 20:50 |
| M1cha | kalenjohnson: I really don't like that resolution. In my opinion 1080p on 20inch is already too small. | 20:50 |
| kalenjohnson | M1cha, I'm not sure about DPI scaling though. You can adjust font sizes and icon sizes | 20:50 |
| kalenjohnson | M1cha, are you using that resolution with ubuntu? | 20:50 |
| M1cha | kalenjohnson: adjusting font/icon sizes is very horrible everything is small except fonts then that doesnt look very well | 20:51 |
| Rimtech | I have 2 VPN connections, one is at tun0 and one is at tun1, how can I make it so that all traffic destined to a specific subnet goes to tun1 and all other traffic to tun0, what would the iptables commands look like | 20:51 |
| M1cha | I currently use 1366x768 on 15.6 inch and it has the perfect size in my opinion | 20:51 |
| achandra | fbdystang, if thats the case install sendmail and give that a try | 20:51 |
| fbdystang | llutz, awesome, but none of those seem to be based on the phpscheduleit. | 20:52 |
| nick|here | can anyone recommend me a good download manager ? (something along the lines of jDownloader, though i'm not a fan of Java apps much) | 20:52 |
| tgm4883 | fbdystang, what does phpscheduleit have to do with sendmail? | 20:52 |
| achandra | depending on your religious belief some people find sendmail clunky and overcomplicated with its cf nomenclature | 20:52 |
| holstein | karsten: you can troubleshoot those erros with the package maintainer ..since you know who that is now | 20:52 |
| M1cha | kalenjohnson: but if ubuntu is too small for me I cant buy an 1080p laptop. And I'll never use windows (8) :P | 20:52 |
| fbdystang | achandra, can sendmail run independandtly of ubuntu, apache, and PHP? | 20:52 |
| karsten | holstein, i can? sound good how would i do that? | 20:53 |
| achandra | fbdystang, thats sort of like asking can apache run independently of ubuntu, php and sendmail. ;) | 20:53 |
| fbdystang | tgm4883: /usr/sbin/sendmail is listed as the default sendmail script | 20:53 |
| achandra | fbdystang, its an app or service built for a purpose -- to act as an MTA. So whether it runs on ubuntu or not is like asking does it run on sun solaris | 20:54 |
| llutz | fbdystang: and all those packages listed above provide that program/funcionality. so what is your problem? | 20:54 |
| achandra | fbdystang, just dont expect that people will help u here if decide to run it on a sun box ;) | 20:54 |
| kalenjohnson | M1cha, well I'm not sure if you can do DPI scaling like in android or Windows. It's not in the standard settings, but you might want to check out extra programs like CCSM or one of the Unity editor programs | 20:54 |
| holstein | karsten: i would literally ask them.. email, or whatever is suggested when you go to support | 20:55 |
| tgm4883 | fbdystang, so? I wouldn't expect sendmail to ack the existance of phpscheduleit | 20:55 |
| kalenjohnson | M1cha, otherwise, your option is either to find a different laptop or set the resolution lower. Neither is ideal, but that's how it goes. | 20:55 |
| fbdystang | achandra, Ok, that is answers it. I am not using sun, nor would I want to. | 20:55 |
| kalenjohnson | M1cha, in my opinion, it's better to have too many pixels than too little :) | 20:55 |
| M1cha | if I set the resolution lower. Couldn't the image get blurred due to the scaling? | 20:56 |
| achandra | fbdystang, u need to understand the relationship of the os ubuntu, against the services and apps that are supported or offered on it | 20:56 |
| achandra | fbdystang, then understand that there is potential interaction between those apps. and notice my language...potential | 20:56 |
| karsten | holstein, thanks for all i'm completely new to linux and i've had some big problems managing it so far :) | 20:57 |
| achandra | fbdystang, they can run independent of one another or together... to support some application | 20:57 |
| fbdystang | I am self taught over many years playing with linux, no formal training, so I have just put the pieces together, broken stuff, and fixed other stuff. So you are right | 20:57 |
| M1cha | I don't have good eyes and If an letter is smaller than 1/4 inch its hard to read it for me | 20:57 |
| achandra | fbdystang, might behoove you to go to ubuntu1 and download the server edition book...its useful and will teach a lot | 20:57 |
| kalenjohnson | M1cha, it won't be as sharp as having it at full resolution, but give it a try and see if you notice | 20:58 |
| achandra | fbdystang, its not that expensive, and probably worth the buy | 20:58 |
| kalenjohnson | M1cha, I mean, if you don't notice a slight blur, then you can use a lower resolution without issue | 20:58 |
| fbdystang | achandra, I thank you for the advice. Looking into it right now :) | 20:58 |
| M1cha | kalenjohnson: I'll have to find an laptop in a store which I can try. most laptops sold in store here are crap and don't have such resolutions :P | 20:59 |
| M1cha | but thx for your help so far | 20:59 |
| kalenjohnson | M1cha, but you said you had a 20" monitor, try it on there. It'll probably be less noticeable on a smaller laptop | 20:59 |
| M1cha | I had such an monitor at work once. but thats some time ago | 21:00 |
| kalenjohnson | oh i see | 21:00 |
| achandra | why is it that people send private IMs when you know im NOT going to answer | 21:00 |
| M1cha | but I'll find a system to try | 21:00 |

| histo | ohboy | 22:34 |
| histo | Bray90820: try chromium or html5 and test | 22:35 |
| jhutchins_wk | Bray90820: What resolution? | 22:35 |
| histo | Bray90820: also are you running 64bit or 32bit ubuntu? | 22:35 |
| histo | Bray90820: sorry meant were you running 64 or 32bit windows before? | 22:35 |
| holstein | Bray90820: too bad.. i dont think the 64bit chrome has the flash that is supported | 22:35 |
| histo | holstein: chrome has flash built in | 22:36 |
| Bray90820 | i was never using windows | 22:36 |
| Bray90820 | only ubuntu | 22:36 |
| histo | Bray90820: You said windows can do it fullscreen | 22:36 |
| k1l | i dont think the atom got enough power anyway | 22:36 |
| holstein | histo: i was told the 64bit version doesnt.. and in my tests, that has been supported | 22:36 |
| Bray90820 | no | 22:36 |
| Bray90820 | i said i can do it windowed meaning not full screen | 22:36 |
| histo | holstein: I'm running it here with flash built in right from google's repo so no idea what you are talking about. | 22:36 |
| Bray90820 | histo i said Windowed meaning not full screen | 22:37 |
| histo | Bray90820: ahh yes. It's a struggle to get an atom to run fullscreen flash. I have an atom based system with an nvidia GPU and it struggles with fullscreen flash using hardware acceleration. | 22:37 |
| jhutchins_wk | Bray90820: Again, what resolution are you trying to run full screen? Your CPU may not be powerful enough. | 22:37 |
| holstein | histo: i'll PM you if you'd like.. what im talking about is, i was told the 64bit version doesnt provide its own flash.. it=chrome.. | 22:37 |
| histo | holstein: it does | 22:38 |
| holstein | histo: when i go to http://www.adobe.com/software/flash/about/ from the only 64bit install i have, the results do not support that | 22:38 |
| jhutchins_wk | I thought chrome used html5 instead of flash. | 22:38 |
| holstein | histo: i will check again | 22:38 |
| Bray90820 | jhutchins_wk 480p but 1080 p can run fine not full screen | 22:38 |
| jhutchins_wk | Bray90820: I mean what is the screen resolution you're trying to run it on, not the signal res. | 22:39 |

| Bray90820 | jhutchins_wk 1366X1768 | 22:40 |
| jhutchins_wk | Bray90820: I think you might find that a 1.5G Atom just can't do full screen flash at that res. You could experiement with reducing it step by step and see where it starts to run smoothly. | 22:41 |
| holstein | Bray90820: you can try html5 http://www.youtube.com/html5 | 22:42 |

| hubuntu | cronus, thanks for the tip, but I will test admin (java) and stats tools (zeromq+protobuf) for varnish, so I think I will do a bare -server install | 22:57 |
| brotherBox | This extended partition had four logical partitions, a boot partition, a root partition, a home partition and a swap partition, of which the last three (/, /home and swap) were LUKS encrypted with the alternate installation | 22:57 |
| g3org3s | hello , i installed ubuntu 12 but i dont like the bar on the left , how can i make it look like old ubuntu ? like a start button in windows | 22:58 |
| brotherBox | After re-installing Windows (it was a corporate Windows version full of adverts) I wanted to restore GRUB, so I followed the instructions on an Ubuntu website, which mentioned a tool called "Boot-Repair" | 22:58 |
| Ben64 | !nounity | g3org3s | 22:58 |
| ubottu | g3org3s: Ubuntu 11.10 and higher use GNOME 3 with the !unity shell by default. To use GNOME Shell instead, from 12.10 an up install the "ubuntu-gnome-desktop" package. From 11.04 to 12.04, install the "gnome-shell" package and investigate "gnome-tweak-tool". For GNOME Fallback mode, which is similar to GNOME 2, install "gnome-panel". Both packages will place entries in the Sessions dropdown. Using Natty? See !classic | 22:58 |
| jatakk | g3org3s: The bar is on the left because you're using Unity. The only thing you can do is install a different DE. | 22:59 |
| === baggar11_ is now known as baggar11 | ||
| brotherBox | After running this one, the extended partition is shown as "unallocated" and GRUB won't install from the rescatux cd | 22:59 |

| Ben64 | don't use cinnamon if you want support here | 22:59 |
| brotherBox | What can I do? I fear that all my data is lost since I was naive enough to not have a backup ;_; | 22:59 |
| jatakk | Ben64: Why not? | 22:59 |
| Ben64 | because... it's not supported here | 22:59 |

| brotherBox | twist3d, pardon? I never told the tool to mess around with my encrypted partitions. Can you please link me to this "Undelete me"? I get results that are not helpful to me | 23:05 |
| Ben64 | g3org3s: once you install gnome-panel, you can choose "gnome fallback" from the login screen, and then it will work | 23:06 |

| k1l_ | jamesd: its not blocking ssh in any way. so install the ssh and its working. | 23:33 |
| khildin | I am a bit out of ideas how to fix this.... :-/ | 23:33 |
| Ben64 | khildin: yeah i googled the model number you gave and it is intel. so i'm not sure why it's not working | 23:33 |
| Ben64 | khildin: perhaps the intel driver isn't loaded | 23:33 |
| jamesd | k1ng, i know.. just bitching before i go back up stairs... | 23:33 |
| k1l_ | jamesd: then please consider not using this channel for ranting. this is a technical support channel | 23:34 |
| khildin | lspci | grep VGA gave me the exact model | 23:34 |
| intrader | I have an overheating laptop - when psensor temp2 exceeds 100C the laptop shutdows. This invariably happens with any full screen video (temp2 rapidly increases). I have tried jupiter. An alternate distro like Mint, Solaris, or Suse does not have the problem with same clip and browser (firefox). I am running linux 12.04. | 23:34 |
| ponke_ | jamesd: sshd default on for a consumer distro would be the definition of idiotic | 23:34 |
| ubun22 | ponke_ k1l_ : are all of the different versions open source? | 23:34 |
| k1ng | jamesd, what? | 23:34 |
| k1l_ | ubun22: yes | 23:34 |
| Ben64 | khildin: pastebin "lsmod" maybe? | 23:34 |
| k1l_ | k1ng: tabfail | 23:34 |
| k1ng | failtab | 23:35 |
| brotherBox | I am taking a screenshot of the hard drive scheme shown by gparted | 23:35 |
| brotherBox | http://i.imgur.com/RE78KfI.png | 23:37 |
| brotherBox | The first partition is the boot thingy for Windows, sda2 is the Windows partition, sda3 is empty by choice | 23:37 |
| jamesd | perhaps i should file a bug report or would it be a request for enhancement, or perhaps a performance regression, ubuntu used to install sshd by default its helpful if the user has more than one system and would like to securely transfer files. | 23:37 |
| brotherBox | sda4 is the extended partition with boot, root and home in it. Apparently, the swap partition is excluded from the "merge" that took place, but it is still encrypted. | 23:38 |
| brotherBox | The huge chunk in the middle however got messed up by the boot-repair program. What choices do I have? | 23:38 |
| === resba is now known as resba|Off | ||
| ponke_ | jamesd: pointless, really. never going to happen because of the resulting unsecure default setups that would flourish as a result of such a policy. just mod. your rollout accordingly. | 23:40 |
| OerHeks | brotherBox, that looks really messed up, i am not sure testdisk can resolve this | 23:42 |
| === tensorpuddin is now known as tensorpudding | ||
| brotherBox | I have one last hope...could I somehow search for the "partition" headers in the chunk? | 23:43 |

| froek | is there a specific channel discussing ubuntu for devices? | 23:46 |
| froek | tablets/phones/android etc.. | 23:46 |
| ikonia | froek: #ubuntu-touch | 23:46 |
| froek | ikonia, cheers | 23:46 |
| brotherBox | I am scanning the disk with testdisk now | 23:47 |
| brotherBox | Thanks so far, I'll see where this gets me. | 23:47 |
| OerHeks | brotherBox, maybe testdisk can > http://www.cgsecurity.org/wiki/TestDisk_Step_By_Step | 23:47 |
| brotherBox | I am on it OerHeks | 23:48 |
| brotherBox | Thanks for you help guys. I really appreciate it. | 23:48 |
| yourimym1 | hey need help to delete kde component , cuz i don't want them in updates like this http://uppix.net/4/9/7/f0f8f2c588143da95f718826c19c8.png | 23:48 |
| ic3 | hi, does anybody know how to fix lightwm bug -> can't login, just throwing back to the login screen. works for `guest' user. gdm also works | 23:48 |
| yourimym1 | !Metasploit | 23:49 |
| Ben64 | khildin: well you have the driver loaded... | 23:50 |
| shadowflee | R.I.P Aaron Swartz https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=cJ-E8ckq1MU | 23:50 |
| ikonia | yourimym1: you want help with what ? | 23:50 |
| Ben64 | khildin: can you run "glxgears" ? it may require you to install a package | 23:50 |
| siezer | hello. I'm on a 64 bit box, and would like to install a 32 bit package with a lot of deps.. I've already enabled the repo, but am having trouble coming up with the correct apt incantation. any help? | 23:50 |
| ikonia | siezer: strongly advise against that | 23:50 |
| ikonia | siezer: use packages designed for your architecture, or designed for multilib | 23:50 |
| OerHeks | ic3, known issue with .Xauthority after update, see answer #2 >> https://bugs.launchpad.net/ubuntu/+source/lightdm/+bug/1036830 | 23:51 |
| ubottu | Launchpad bug 1036830 in lightdm (Ubuntu) "Can't log in unless remove .Xauthority or use gdm" [Undecided,Confirmed] | 23:51 |
| ikonia | shadowflee: don't need to see that stuff, please don't post it again. This channel is for ubuntu support only | 23:51 |
| yourimym1 | ikonia: delete kde component after unsuccessful installing , to prevent it from updates or neither appear on update list like this http://uppix.net/4/9/7/f0f8f2c588143da95f718826c19c8.png | 23:51 |
| khildin | Ben64: does it require to add a specific PPA | 23:51 |
| ikonia | yourimym1: open package manager, select components, click remove | 23:51 |
| khildin | ?? | 23:51 |
| Ben64 | khildin: no | 23:51 |
| holstein | yourimym1: choose them by name.. or just ignore them | 23:52 |
| siezer | ikonia yep. I'm well aware. but I have a strange and specific use case and need to override | 23:52 |
| khildin | Ben64: http://paste.ubuntu.com/5609316/ | 23:52 |
| khildin | that's the output | 23:52 |
| ikonia | siezer: unless it's designed for multilib - it's not going to work | 23:52 |
| Ben64 | khildin: "lshw -C VIDEO | grep -i driver" just paste the driver line, like this is mine ---- configuration: driver=nvidia latency=0 | 23:53 |
| === jeff_ is now known as Guest53312 | ||
| khildin | configuration: driver=i915 latency=0 | 23:54 |
| khildin | looks ok to me | 23:54 |
| BLZbubba | where does Ubuntu keep the screen rotation setting? | 23:55 |
| ic3 | OerHeks: it works. thanks | 23:56 |
| Ben64 | khildin: yeah i'm confused. maybe someone else here has more ideas | 23:56 |
| BLZbubba | in nouveau it does some kind of xrandr request to apply the setting I choose in the display config | 23:56 |
| OerHeks | ic3 have fun | 23:56 |
| BLZbubba | if i change it, the setting only stays until i log off | 23:56 |
| yourimym1 | ikonia: holstein : this is the whole ppa i have which one to remove http://uppix.net/e/b/2/9922baf611c9a9da16ef52bd9eee6.png | 23:57 |
| yourimym1 | http://uppix.net/1/3/b/844a35986be6d13dde539e4b55290.png | 23:57 |
| holstein | !ppa-purge | 23:57 |
| ubottu | To disable a PPA from your sources and revert your packages back to default Ubuntu packages, install ppa-purge and use the command: « sudo ppa-purge ppa:<repository-name>/<subdirectory> » – For more information, see http://www.webupd8.org/2009/12/remove-ppa-repositories-via-command.html | 23:57 |
| khildin | the weird thing is... gdm is working fine... only unity is not | 23:57 |
| holstein | yourimym1: purging ppa's is quite different that removeing a few pacakges | 23:57 |
| khildin | I get some kind of 'semi' desktop in Unity... screen without launcher/dash and without menu | 23:59 |
| Ben64 | khildin: thats to be expected when 3d doesn't work | 23:59 |
| khildin | I can launch applications through terminal | 23:59 |
| Ben64 | khildin: you could install a DE that doesn't require 3d as a temp fix | 23:59 |
| yourimym1 | is that altrenative than deleting it from ppa under software resources menu ? | 23:59 |
| BLZbubba | never mind, i'm a moron | 23:59 |
| khildin | I'd rather have unity... but now I am 'forced' to gnome | 23:59 |
