DoktorVAll right, thank you. I'm afraid I'm not good with IRC so please bear with me.00:40
oldpilsburyhaving trouble configuring a home file server (not internet-connected). i tried setting up a static ip, then gave and and reconfigured to dhcp. router ip is 192.168.1.1, inet 192.168.1.103, gateway 192.168.1.1, mask 255.255.255.0. Reconfigured /etc/network/interfaces to auto dhcp and restarted. I can connect my laptop to server wirelessly but the server is refusing connection.00:40
meLonYeah, sorry.  They started labeling by where it is on your bus, dr_willis00:40
dr_willismeLon:  cant say ive noticed that.. then again - i dont code much these days.00:40
meLonYour next install will have it00:40
oldpilsburytried with gftp, filezilla, ssh. no dice.00:41

DoktorVI have a new Acer laptop, I've disabled UEFI so I can boot from disc, but when I try to use a distro CD/DVD I get only a black screen00:41
holsteinoldpilsbury: tried what? just use ping.. see if you can ping the gateway from the machine00:42
Atlantic777meLon: network devices aren't presented as files.00:42
meLonlol dr_willis p5p2 vs /dev/p5p2 :P00:42
meLonAtlantic777: I meant as a file on the OS00:43
Atlantic777meLon: network devices are far more complex than char device, block device or ioctl00:43
meLonas in /dev/eth000:43

Atlantic777meLon: i understand, but there's no such thing.00:43
oldpilsburyi can also go to the router setup in web browser00:43
Atlantic777meLon: network interfaces are burried in kernel and OS is handling whole TCP/IP stack. Network interfaces are working with packets, not with bytes.00:44
Atlantic777meLon: my I ask you again what are you trying to do with accessing netowrk iface as file?00:44
Atlantic777may*00:44
meLonLike I said... iptraf00:44
oldpilsbury<holstein> any idea why the server is refusing connection?00:44
meLonAm I like... Are you trying to tell me that there's never been /dev/eth0 ?00:45
Atlantic777meLon: oh, sorry, I must have missed that00:45
holsteinoldpilsbury: not yet.. can you ping the gateway?00:45
oldpilsburyyes00:45
Atlantic777meLon: yep, not on Linux, as far as i know.00:45
holsteinoldpilsbury: can you ping the machines from each other?00:45
Cooperwhat is the switch that i use with mv to see the progress.... --progress or -v00:46
oldpilsburyholstein: inet ping failed from my laptop to the server and back. i do want the inet addr, correct?00:47
Atlantic777Cooper: -v shows which file is currently being transfered.00:47
Atlantic777Cooper: see "man mv" for more info about mv options.00:47
Cooperasked and then read the man files00:48
holsteinoldpilsbury: what are you trying to do?00:48
oldpilsburyholstein: file transfers. you told me to ping the machine. you meant the server's inet address, right?00:49
holsteinoldpilsbury: if you cant ping the machine, you wont be able to ssh or file share... you can look at firewalls00:49
holsteinoldpilsbury: i mean, the ip address...00:49
Atlantic777oldpilsbury: a stupid question, is the server out of your local area network?00:50
holsteinoldpilsbury: i usually do this.. i use the dynaptic auto DHCP address.. i get ssh or ftp or whatever setup with the firewalls down.. then i do one thing at a time.. static ip.. firewall.. and test as i go00:50
oldpilsburyno, just my old desktop with a router attached. :)00:50
holsteinright now, you got a lot of things to troubleshoot oldpilsbury , and i would simplify and take it one step at a time00:50
Atlantic777oldpilsbury: is your 'client' computer attached to the same router?00:51
holsteinoldpilsbury: you have a machine, hooked up to a router.. and you can ping that gateway.. then you connect with another machine and you can ping the gateway as well?00:51
Rusti have a new file server, i've run "apt-get update" and "apt-get upgrade" as root, i've rebooted, but i still have 6 packs that can be updated...what am i doing wrong?00:51

oldpilsburyclient computer is wirelessly connected to the network00:52
holsteinoldpilsbury: the same network?00:53
Rustholstein: not sure what they are, just security updates...i though the dist-upgrade was to update the release?00:53
holstein!dist-upgrade00:53
ubottuA dist-upgrade will install new dependencies for packages already installed and may remove packages if they are no longer needed. This will not bring you to a new release of Ubuntu, see !upgrade if that is your intention.00:53

oldpilsburyit's server - eth0 - router - wlan0 - laptop, got it?00:54
Atlantic777but they are in the same subnet, just two separated interfaces on the router00:55
oldpilsburythanks holstein00:55
Atlantic777so you need local ip address of the router00:55
=== jeff_ is now known as Guest15678
Atlantic777you probably can't access the server via public ip of the router even if you did have set port forwarding because some weird thing happen with lan <-> wan <-> lan port forwarding and routing on most cheap routers00:56
oldpilsburyrouter local ip is 192.168.1.100:56
Atlantic777ok, what's 192.168.x.x ip of the server?00:57
Atlantic777see it with ifconfig00:57

ac_slater?01:16
ac_slater:)01:16
jribac_slater: what ubuntu version are you using?  In later versions ia32-libs just uses multiarch01:16
ac_slater12.04 typically. I have to ensure 12.04 build my stuff at least ... I'm using GL and some common X11 libs01:17
FatDarrelany openstack lovers here01:17
jribac_slater: so what issue are you having?01:18
calmNchill@ Atlantic777: this will prolly sound like a dumb question but Im not sure what to select I'm trying to install server 12.04 LTS. what should I select here?01:18
calmNchillnevermind01:18
ac_slaterjrib: Specifically libxcursor and libxext. IF you look at the package contents, you can see the 32bit and 64bit versions to the same place - creating conflicts.01:18
Atlantic777calmNchill: select option to use iso image and then just browse and choose iso you have.01:18
jribac_slater: can you give details?01:19
ac_slaterjrib: Sure. In distros like Arch or Gentoo, 32bit libs go into `/lib32/` and 64bit libs into `/lib`. I'm sure ubuntu does something like this with the packages it pulls with ia32-libs... but the two I mentioned arent in ia32-libs. I can install them manually but they conflict with the 64bit libs :(01:20
jribac_slater: right, give these details.  I don't have a 12.04 install01:21
ac_slater:-/01:21
ac_slaterI observed this with 12.10 also.01:21
jribac_slater: in 12.04 is ia32-libs not just a dependency on ia32-libs-multiarch by the way?01:22

Hyperiantdr_willis: I'm trying to install fglrx, Ubuntu is unusable with the default drivers06:30
HyperiantEvery time I do, though, it stops displaying Unity06:30
dr_willisnot sure how you would mess up mime types ststem wide..06:30
dwardxangua ya thanks, i know the package exists. but it's in the sam slot as initramfs-tools. which i don't want to uninstall. i would like to use dracut to compile ram images for other systems and initramfs-tools when I update my kernel on this system06:31
dr_willisHyperiant:  i see people in here with the same problem several times a day/week.. sadly06:31
dr_williscompiz/unity dosent properly  see/use the  3d drivers so only loads part of the  desktop06:32
HyperiantThing is, it worked fine on 32-bit06:32
Vivekanandahello everyone and dr_willis06:32
HyperiantI reinstalled Ubuntu as 64-bit and only then did it start doing this06:32
VivekanandaI have a friend currently installing ubuntu and he is running windows 64 bit but when he is trying to install ubuntu it is asking him to download 32 bit06:33
Vivekanandawhy could this be?06:33
dr_willisVivekananda:  what is asking him?06:33
dr_willishe can go  to the ubuntu.com site/servers and download whatever one he wants..06:33
HyperiantJust download 64-bit anyway, the 32-bit is only recommended on the website by default06:33
HyperiantBecause most PCs still use it06:34
Vivekanandadr_willis: He is trying to install ubuntu using windows installer and tried to download the 64 bit installer but it asked him to get the 32 bit. I am not near him and on top of that he is not very tech savvy so please bear with me06:34
VivekanandaI will try to ask him and get the answers06:34
HyperiantOh, wubi06:34
dr_willisVivekananda:  the windows installer is using WUBI.. thats 32bit only  i belive06:34
dr_willisi  suggest NOT using wubi06:35
dr_willisif you must use wubi.. then do as it suggests06:35
HyperiantWubi is only if he wants to dual-boot, and in a very limited way at that06:35
dr_willis1WUBI06:35
dr_willis!wubi06:35
ubottuWubi is an Ubuntu installer for Windows users that allows you to install and uninstall Ubuntu like a Windows application, in a simple and safe way. http://wubi-installer.org/support.php and https://wiki.ubuntu.com/WubiGuide for troubleshooting. Please  file bugs at http://launchpad.net/wubi/+filebug. For Ubuntu Oneiric/11.10 http://releases.ubuntu.com/oneiric/wubi.exe06:35
VivekanandaI knew it was wubi!! but I got confused when he said that06:35
aeon-ltddoes wubi get around secure booting? if not there's no point in wubi06:36
Vivekanandait is allowing him a dual boot so I thought wubi must now have a full fledged installer and I did not know about it06:36
dr_williswubi uses the windows stuff to doal boot.. not the same as normal install06:36
dr_williswubi does not have a full fledged installer.06:36
dr_willisit does a 'wubi boot' ;)06:37
Vivekanandadr_willis: Now the crux of the matter is that he is has to run a medical program and that is very resource intensive but limitations of using linux06:38
Vivekanandamedical software I mean06:38
Vivekanandaand he mistakenly installed 12.1 and it was crashing a lot for him and he said it is very slow too06:38
dr_willis12.10 is very stable and not slow for me...06:39
dr_willisinstalled 12.10 HOW exacctly?06:39
Vivekanandanow I figure he installed 12.1 using wubi. I advised him to try06:39
dr_willisa wubi install will be slower then a full install06:39
Vivekananda12.04 ( that is the lts too and I thought it would be good advise for him)06:39
Vivekanandahe is trying to do that06:39
ch1p53tur having an argument??06:40
dr_willisdepending on the software - he may  just want to try Lubuntu inside virtualbox.. if that software  is the only thing he needs to run06:40
dr_willisand dependoing on what the software is doing..06:40
Vivekanandait is a brain mapping medical software06:41
Vivekananda:)06:41
dr_willisso it has special hardware is uses?06:42
Vivekanandaand not possible for a virtual box coz the06:42
Vivekanandahere it is http://surfer.nmr.mgh.harvard.edu/fswiki/SystemRequirements06:42
dr_willisid say try a full install of 12.04 then.06:42
dr_willishe may want to use lubuntu - since it will be less resource  intensive06:43
Vivekanandait requires as you can see what it does and my friend has 3 gigs of ram and - it's running intel core 2 duo06:43

mandoguitVivekananda:   http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Wubi_%28Ubuntu_installer%29        the wubi install should not touch the recovery/windows install partition as it installs all relevent software into the main windows partition.... as far as windows is concerned it's just another program along with associated files that has been installed inside of it07:10

kimk_the problem is that my taskbar icons completely corrupt (into a weird mess of pixels) after banshee has been running for random number of hours.07:13
Vivekanandagabkdlly: No. I recommended my friend to go for a full fledged fresh install of ubuntu using a install cd. For this he will need to  (as you know) repartition the drive and shrink the windows partition to create space for ubuntu07:14
kimk_i've googled it a few times and came across a lone post that said something about a package version needing to be rolled back in ubuntu, but i've since then not been able to find the post again.07:14
VivekanandaNow I have an old computer and have no clue how the partitions are arranged in a windows 7 computer and also how the recovery space is arranged. I have a simple xp computer so I just shrink the xp partition and install ubuntu07:14

Leroy-FiddlerMy Empathy window keeps switching to the first virtual desktop, but is supposed to stay on the upper right one. I've got 12.04 with the Unity desktop. Any suggestions?08:44
dr_willisLeroy-Fiddler:  use the compiz plugin for windows rules to force it to stay where you want.08:45
Leroy-Fiddlerdr_willis: could you give me some more info about that?08:45
dr_willis!ccsm08:45
ubottuTo enable advanced customization of desktop effects in Ubuntu: install 'compizconfig-settings-manager' (or 'simple-ccsm' for pre-Oneiric). If you install the latter, a new option will appear in your appearance properties - See also !compiz - Help in #compiz08:45
dr_willisits in the ccsm tool08:45
doomlordanyone know why the window-preview thumbnail plugin was removed08:46
Leroy-Fiddlerthx dr_willis! I'll try that out :)08:46

mand_Hi08:51
mand_I'm having the problem that unity forgets launchers whenever I reboot08:52
mand_What could be the cause for that?08:52
mand_I start a program, lock it to the launcher but then it disappears after a reboot08:52
dr_willismake sure you dont have any files or directories  or . files that are owned by root.. does it do it for all apps ? or just a few?08:52
dr_willisuser config files and dirs getting owned by root.. seem to be a common issue ;(08:53
mand_It just happens for the Unity launcher, all apps are fine08:54
dr_willisso anything you pin  gets frogotten.. not just sspecific apps?08:55
mand_Yeah, anything08:55
mand_I've recently upgraded from 8.04 to 12.10.. so maybe thing did went wrong there? It's the programs I had in 8.04 in the gnome panel08:55
mand_It always resets to that state08:55
dr_willismake a new user. see if it works for them08:56
mand_dr_willis: It works for them, I've already tried08:56
dr_williscould be some  .config file in the problem users  home thats either owned by root.. or messed up08:56
mand_Do you know which config file that could be?08:57
dr_willisid clean out all the various .config/* files and so forth.. move tghem to some backup directory08:57
mand_Ok, I'll try08:57
mand_Thanks08:57

priteshhey guys, anyone please tell me, what will be the minimum size of ubuntu installation with XFCE4 ?? currently i am at 941MB after removing most of things12:13
cfhowlettpritesh, still wrestling with this I see.  suggest you look on the minimal install option ...12:13
priteshcfhowlett, i installed with minimal and previously size was 1.2GB, then i trimmed it.12:14
cfhowlettpritesh, one step ahead of me then ...12:15
elkyYou seem to have the answer for your own question.12:16
priteshcfhowlett, is there such files that i will delete and will not effect the system ?12:16
jribpritesh: can I ask why you care about size so much?12:17
cfhowlettpritesh, as minimal footprint is the goal, I'd say you could delete extraneous desktop environments and themes ... but I've never done it.12:17

khaije1I'm looking for as base an image as possible... does ubuntu still do jeos?12:25
jribpritesh: I agree with cfhowlett.  You should take a look at the distros dedicated to being small (like damnsmalllinux).  At the very least, you could take a look at DSL and compare what packages you have on your minimal ubuntu that DSL omit12:25

cfhowlettlubricant, see the following.  for what it's worth, I had my wifi up and running after 2 minutes of terminal work in 12.04   http://turbolinux.org/2011/07/ubuntu-broadcom-bcm43xx-chipset-pci/13:53
jribdhanasekaran: what about ulimit -aH13:54
dhanasekaranjrib: http://pastebin.com/WCezELPp13:55
jribdhanasekaran: actually, maybe I am making a mistake.  Do this: ulimit -H -n13:55
jribdhanasekaran: ok so your limits are getting set to 32768 instead of 65538 now?  Did you change limits.conf?13:56
dhanasekaranjrib: no13:56
blip-hi all, my laptop was plugged into an external monitor at work (thus 2 different screens, same X server).   Now i'm back home and my main desktop is outside of the laptop LCD, so I can't use anything.   What can I do to change it other than rebooting as one does in Windows ?13:56
dhanasekaranjrib:  root user  getting 65535 but hdfs user different value why?13:57
danman1453just tried to use x -configure to build a new xorg.conf and got the following msg:13:57
jribdhanasekaran: did you change anything else regarding limits?  Other than /etc/security/limits.conf and /etc/bash.bashrc?13:57
IndustrialI have installed git-daemon-run to run a git daemon on this computer. I have a bare repository at /home/tom/Documents/repos/utils.git. if I clone git://127.0.0.1:0418/home/tom/Documents/repos/utils.git then I get an authentication error. Did I miss a step?13:57
danman1453"The number of created screens does not match the number of detected devices"13:57
dhanasekaranjrib: No I not changed any thing13:58
IndustrialI cannot ask this in #git because it involves an ubuntu package and possible configuration13:58
dhanasekaranjrib: problem with only hdfs user13:58
Industrialwhen i check service --status-all I don't see a git-server, but the git-server-run package is installed13:58
jribdhanasekaran: how about other users?13:58
cfhowlett#ubuntu-devel|Industrial, would probably know13:59
Picicfhowlett: no, thats not really appropriate for #ubuntu-devel13:59
dhanasekaranjrib: others  getting 65535 value13:59
cfhowlettPici, my mistake.  thought he was doing ubuntu package stuff ...13:59

PiciIndustrial: What release of Ubuntu are you using?14:02

danman1453is there an nvidia channel?14:02
danman1453for ubuntu?14:02
jribdhanasekaran: want to pastebin limits.conf one more time?14:03
no_gravityjrib: you mean i should execute "98-reboot-required"?14:03
jhutchins_wkno_gravity: No, you should look at it and see what it does.14:03
no_gravityjhutchins_wk: ah14:03
jribno_gravity: no, you can read it and see where it gets its information.  In the end it just checks for the existence of some file.  So then you can go research what creates/writes to that file14:03

Weeeeezzlcan't you use it to replace the boot screen? idk.. just wanted to say something :)14:44
danman1453yes?14:44
theadmindanman1453: Well, which one? On the default Ubuntu setup that'd be lightdm, so "sudo restart lightdm" will do the trick. If you're running some other one, modify the command appropriately14:44
danman1453thats what i did.14:45

ozettetgm4883, what's it called :o15:59
tgm4883ozette, that is the source package name, it builds 3 binary packages that have different names15:59

nandhuwhen i connect to each network every thing is saved in the /etc/NetworkManager/system-connection .., is there a way to find which is the active wired and wireless connection i am using using terminal16:04
kc102Is this a cpu issue, or an 64bit->32bit conflict?16:05
tgm4883nandhu, does 'nm-tool' show you what you want?16:05
jribkc102: is there a reason you don't use the repository in the wiki?16:05
ponke_nandhu: what do you mean by "using"?16:05
kc102I'm really unsure of what I'm doing here. First time using linux and such. I apologize if I'm doing something wrong.16:06

gnuskooljrib: for his particular problem it is, he has a 64bit dependency needed16:14
tgm4883StephenS, that would depend on what you want to do16:14
jribkc102: what is the output of "dpkg --print-foreign-architecture"16:14

nandhuno here the problem is different stephen your fat or ntfs file system is not able to mount because windows is hibernated16:14
PiciStephenS: as your error message says: mount -t ntfs-3g -o remove_hiberfile /dev/sda2 /media/sda216:14
tgm4883StephenS, either mount it read only, or remove the hibernate file16:14
nandhuso the only way is you have to mount it as read only i think16:15
Piciaye16:15
nandhudid you tried what is suggested there16:15
StephenSwil mount -t ntfs-3g -o remove_hiberfile /dev/sda2 /media/sda2 ruin something?16:15
StephenSIf im mounting for win hibernated?16:15
tgm4883StephenS, AFAIK, removing the hibernate file will remove the windows hibernation state16:15
jribgnuskool: the issue is likely that skype is 32bit but kc102 does not have multiarch enabled... I have no idea why that page is suggesting things like pinning16:15
tgm4883so the next time you boot into windows, it won't be hibernated, it will be a fresh boot16:15
ravenwhat is the right syntax for this command in one line? while true; do 'mplayer -playlist 1.pls -loop 0 -geometry 160x120+300+0 -screenw 160 -screenh 120'; done &16:15
SonikkuAmericabvm1228: We can definitely help you, but what about "error: no such device"?16:15
konrI've installed ubuntu using the windows installer in its ntfs partition. Can I "upgrade" this installation to a regular installation, with ubuntu having its own partition?16:16

jribkc102: run the following to enable multiarch: sudo dpkg --add-architecture i38616:21
SonikkuAmericabvm1228: OK. So there's probably a broken bootloader issue to resolve. Do you have Ubuntu Live Media anywhere?16:21

jribkc102: sure16:22
kc102http://pastebin.com/8UWKipD316:23
jribkc102: this is because you have the cdrom in your sources.list as well as some apparently outdated skype repository16:24

spector_dellMy 12.10 install is freezing during copy files process, help files show this is likely due to format issue of my HD which has win7; anyone know how to setup the driver properly to install 12.10 as dual boot with win 7. Appreciate the help16:27
jribbvm1228: unless you're addressing someone directly you should assume this channel has a 0-line memory16:27
jribbvm1228: do you want to reinstall ubuntu?16:27
bvm1228no i want to be able to boot into windows16:28
jribbvm1228: if you don't want ubuntu at all anymore, then you shouldn't use grub as your bootloader anymore.  You can ask ##windows for help on fixing your mbr16:29
kc102Okay so I ran sudo dpkg -r skype16:29
discrete;;ticker16:29
kc102Will that remove all the skype crap sitting around?16:29
jribkc102: why?16:29
bvm1228but i still get the grub error16:29
jribbvm1228: because you haven't restored the windows mbr16:30
kc102Because I thought that's how I'd remove the old skype repositories.16:30
bvm1228i have tried bootrec.exe /fixboot16:30
jribkc102: it's not.  Edit your /etc/apt/sources.list and look for the cdrom repositories and the specific skype repository that you got an error about (you should *not* remove the canonical partner repo)16:30
SonikkuAmericabvm1228: Before that you have to run [ bootrec /fixmbr ]16:31
jribbvm1228: ##windows can help you with this; it's a windows issue16:31

slacko12664bye guys16:55
tgm4883cschneid, does dmesg or syslog say anything about it?16:55
KeymanAnyone see my question?? Is there a driver that works better than the one on Ubuntu 12.04.2 LTS for HP Array 6400s?? Mine keeps locking up the box lbd2/cciss!c0d0 in Status D16:55
cschneidtgm4883: dunno - let me go take a look.  Its been a while since digging into real sysadmin16:55
cschneid(ie, even knowing where logs are :) )16:55
SolarisBoycschneid: what is the header on that file?16:56
tgm4883cschneid, /var/log16:56
SolarisBoycschneid: the shebang rather -16:56
cschneidyeah16:56
cschneidroot@li291-24:/var/log# head -n 1 /srv/irclogger.com/backup_db.sh16:56
cschneid#!/bin/bash16:56
cschneidand permissions are 755, so that's fine.16:56
SolarisBoycschneid: interesting16:57
hotmedalI have a dual core Atom, 1GB ram, 3GB swap and Ubuntu gets stuck because of Firefox with 3 tabs! And it's not CPU usage or memory shortage, it's just the hard disk that's busy16:57
SolarisBoycschneid: is your $SHELL bash? - i think cron's default is sh although you do have a shebang...16:57
ActionParsniphotmedal: try setting swappness lower, or use a lighter desktpo like LXDE16:58
cschneidSolarisBoy: it honestly doesn't matter, I'm not using any bash features.  But anyway, it looks like cron isn't even triggering my crontab entry16:58
jpmh1have a machine where I do not trust what may have been on the disk.  Shall I used gpated from the live CD and create a new partition table, dos format before the install16:58
tgm4883cschneid, can  you pastebin those log files?16:58
SolarisBoycschneid: oh because i haven't seen the script -16:58
cschneidSolarisBoy, tgm4883: syslog has entries for the few things that came along in /etc/cron.hourly and such, but not the one I added via root's `crontab -e`16:59
cschneidI'm just gonna get around it by dropping it in the /etc/<whatever> and move on :)16:59
hotmedalI should think Gnome would be ok with 1GB ram16:59
cschneidthis whole server needs a rebuild16:59
cschneidwith some sort of logic16:59
scampbellanyone know why the source package for login (shadow actually) is missing from 12.04?!?16:59
ActionParsniphotmedal: it will but Forefox isn't great with RAM, try something lighter, it may hepl17:00
alimjhotmedal: No it is not enough for new GNOME or Unity17:00
llutzcschneid: add the job to /etc/crontab, is it running then?17:00
cschneidllutz: yeah, that's my next plan.17:00
SolarisBoycschneid: you can try to replace it with a normal command like touch to confirm if it's the cron entry or the script17:00
cschneidhonestly it looks like I've screwed up cron vs. anacron. I seem to have both installed, and I bet that's the issue.17:00
ActionParsnipalimj: ubuntu requirements page gives a minimum of 512Mb so is technically ok, but it will perform badly17:00
cschneidie, editing the one that's not actually running17:00
SolarisBoyor something like that17:00
alimjActionParsnip: Yes but will be too slow17:01
ActionParsnipalimj: like I said ;)17:01
cschneidSolarisBoy, llutz, tgm4883: thank you all - I'm going to hunt more on this, I'll come back if I hit a wall17:01
tgm4883scampbell, shadow?17:02
emjay25could someone help me tunnel a tight vnc server through ssh?17:02
alimjActionParsnip: I have all LXDE, XFCE, GNOME, KDE on the same machine with 2GB Ram. Currently I could say that only LXDE and XFCE are usable17:02
tgm4883scampbell, there doesn't appear to be a shadow package, source nor binary17:02
scampbelldpkg -S /bin/login   give you login        apt-get source login    redirects to shadow but can't find it.17:03
SmokeyDhi everyone. Can't I install an Ubuntu live iso on a 1.9GB USB stick? I am using usb-creator-gtk which complains the stick is too small for the image17:03
scampbellI was actually looking into that su/sg have to do to deal with pam properly but it's rather disturbing to realize there's no way to compile my own login and friends to ensure no backdoor.17:04
ActionParsnipalimj: lxde is fantastic, these days I just run Fluxbox with xcompmgr so I can run docky :)17:04
jpmh1SmokeyD:  try using unetbootin - it certainly allows it on a 2G stick - I have never heard of a 1.9G one17:05
scampbellbtw, in the original debian  login does indeed refer to shadow and that source package exists.17:06
tgm4883scampbell, 'apt-get source login' works for me (downloads shadow source). Did you disable the srouce repos?17:06
SmokeyDjpmh1: all the sitcks I have that list 2Gb are actually 1.9Gb. I guess this is the difference between 1000MB in a GB versus 1024MB in a GB17:06
kc102How do I fix this? http://pastebin.com/yXRdQs0c17:06
scampbellI'll double check, I would be elated to find out I've monkeyed it up someplace but I'm getting source repos for other things.  Certainly worth closer inspection.. You are on 12.04?17:06
jpmh1SmokeyD:  what is telling you that it is 1.9G, I am running ubuntu and it tells me that my 2G stick is 2G17:06
tgm4883scampbell, yep17:07
ActionParsnipkc102: does the file exist?17:07
giancarlociao17:07
trismscampbell: you can always grab it directly from https://launchpad.net/ubuntu/+source/shadow or packages.ubuntu.com or pull-lp-source in the ubuntu-dev-tools package17:07
SmokeyDjpmh1: unetbootin doesn't complain. Weird. I though usb-creator-gtk was the "official" ubuntu way of doing it17:08
kc102Action: There is no .safetable17:08
kc102Do I need to create it?17:08
ActionParsnipkc102: can't hurt to try17:08
tgm4883scampbell, if it helps, here is my deb-src line   "deb-src http://archive.ubuntu.com/ubuntu precise multiverse restricted universe main"17:09
kc102I made it. I'll see if I get the error any more. :)17:09
scampbellgot it, was a missing deb-src line.  Much better :)17:09
jpmh1SmokeyD:  glad it worked.  I have seen weird things with anythig I have tried other than unetbootin so I am not completely surprised.  I certainly do not like the menu that unetbootin generates compared to the others17:10

Phyisicistgreetings... Today I really need one plausible answer guys!17:21
ActionParsnipPhyisicist: to what question?17:21
saviowhat is guest account on ubuntu 12.1017:22
=== ericab_away is now known as ericab
llutzsavio: a design-flaw17:22
PhyisicistIn my O.S. Ubuntu 10.04, the pulseadio is uninstalled. Meantime, I installed the alsa, and I have not audio in my system.. All MUTE..17:22
saviois it part of lightdm17:22
ActionParsnipsavio: it is an account that can be used by anyone. I believe the settings are non-persistant17:23
ActionParsnipPhyisicist: is this a desktop OS?17:23
PhyisicistActionParsnip: That one ^17:23
PhyisicistActionParsnip: Yes!17:23
ActionParsnipPhyisicist: then it is EOL in less than a month. I recommend you upgrade to Precise asap17:23
llutzsavio: add "allow-guest=false" to "[SeatDefaults]" in /etc/lightdm/lightdm.conf to get rid of it17:23
savioActionParsnip, yes I know that ? for gest account we don't have any entry in /etc/groups of /etc/passwd file17:24
jribllutz: why do you say it's a design flaw?17:24
ActionParsnipsavio: yes, its a guest, it has very little power etc.17:24
llutzjrib: no system has to have a guest accoun17:24
llutzt17:24
ActionParsnipllutz: they are convenient though17:24
llutzexcept kiosk17:24
savioi know the configuration . i want to know how this is integrated with linux17:24
PhyisicistActionParsnip: So, Should I upgrade to Ubuntu Precise? I like LL..17:24
jhutchins_wkPhyisicist: Upgrading to more current software may solve the problem.  If not, we will be more familiar with what might be wrong.17:25
a512Hello17:25
=== tlyu_ is now known as tlyu
ActionParsnipPhyisicist: you can use it and it will run as long as it can, but after it goes EOL you will get zero updates and zero support in any of the official support channels17:25
ActionParsnipPhyisicist: your release is quite old and many newer versions have been released of most of what you are using.17:26
PhyisicistActionParsnip: In fact, I am in that O.S. because backtrack.. My current version is the latest back | track 5 r317:26
ActionParsnipPhyisicist: backtrac isn't supportd here, it is supported in #backtrack-linux17:26
OinsHi. How can I change the number of workspaces at 12.04? (without ubuntu-tweaks)17:26
llutzActionParsnip: they might be convenient, but they shouldn't be activated by default.17:27
ActionParsnipllutz: oh absolutely, but remember the audience of ubuntu etc17:27
n000baaargh how do i set the password of a new user account?17:27
ActionParsnipn000b: sudo passwd usernameyoumade17:27
llutzn000b: as new user: passwd17:27
tcstarso i finally got a jailed user setup...  but it it can now, no longer access the symlink created by ln -s  and the terminal has no coloring like my non-jailed user does...   i followed this guide:  http://allanfeid.com/content/creating-chroot-jail-ssh-access17:27
PhyisicistActionParsnip: Yes, I know..... I am here because I think in the base.. But it is ok.. I appreciate the advice..17:28
jribn000b: how did you create the account?17:28
n000bllutz what is the "old" password of a new created user?17:28
ActionParsnipPhyisicist: the base is moot, you are using backtrack.17:28
llutzn000b: you know17:28
n000bllutz never set one empty is not accepted17:28
llutzn000b: so see ActionParsnip , sudo passwd username17:28
n000bjrib with the system settings user gnome dialogue17:28
ActionParsnipn000b: yes because empty passwords aren't good at all17:28
jribn000b: if you ran passwd with sudo you shouldn't be asked the old password17:29
djshotglassso i have tried to setup raid twice on this damn machine it works fine (only shows 1 drive called raid) until the updates are done17:29
djshotglassthen it shows all the drives17:29
PhyisicistActionParsnip: Thank you. I will there in backtrack-linux..17:29
jribn000b: more specifically, "sudo passwd USERNAME"17:29
djshotglassafter it installs the nvidia drivers17:29
ActionParsnipPhyisicist: thanks17:29

djshotglassmakes no sense to me17:30
n000bjrib llutz ActionParsnip thanks that worked... why was it removed from gnome system settings user dialogue?17:30
ActionParsnipBry90820: press ALT+F2 and run:  onboard   or: gok17:30
Phyisicistjhutchins_wk: Thank you too..17:30
ActionParsnipn000b: no idea, I don't use those GUI things, too slow17:30
PhyisicistBye Bye channel.. Good day for all..17:31
kc102Is there a way for me to have Firefox auto highlight what's in a textbos (the search box and url bar) automatically like it does on Windows?17:31
n000bActionParsnip: actually passwd was first i tried after that gui, but i did su newuser and then passwd asks for old "never set" password17:31
jribn000b: it sounds strange that you weren't asked to set a password when you created the new user using the gui, but I also have not used that dialog17:32
sdw25I upgraded my pc to windows 8 using download and upgrade method the problem I have is that I had ubuntu installed with ubuntu and now i cant asscess ubuntu it show up in boot screen but I get this \ubuntu\winboot\wubildr.mbr status 0xc000000e file broken or missing17:33

bcbc2sdw25: if it's gone, then the Ubuntu install is also gone. You'd do best to remove the boot entry from the bcd store. See this: http://askubuntu.com/a/145605/1491617:41

bcbc2sdw25: it will remove the boot manager screen with the two blue squares offering Windows and Ubuntu17:44
sdw25then can i install it back17:44
taranis__away,  syslog's don't show anything. It may be impossible for the system to write logs as it seems that writing anything to disk is causing the lock up in the first place17:45
bcbc2sdw25: yes or do a normal dual boot. Then you don't have to worry about losing it.17:45

Seveastcstar: bindmount the folder into the chroot17:50

dufajhutchins_wk: right, what I mean is that "rfkill list" says that my wireless has a hard block18:08

lapdevadamk,  Hi there, Ive been having issues with Ubuntu 12.04 after a recent upgrade/update which caused my intel integrated video to not function on boot... i would see the ubuntu logo, then a black screen with no back-light. I am on a MSI Wind U100 laptop, and it functioned great before the update. I found some documentation about changing modeset in grub, and did so which gave me video back, but it;'s not proper. I can only use unity18:20
lapdev 2d and it's ugly. Could someone help me with this issue? As i would like to find a remove ALL video drivers and install ones which will function with my hardware. Thank you.18:20

Luy1nhey everybody! I've got a problem with my WLAN, any experts on this here? :)20:09
emjay25Luy1n, what's the problem20:10
levopacketfrog: i don't mean if it works, maybe it doesn't support the whole capabilities,20:10
packetfrogWhat kind of card is it20:10
Luy1nit crashes sometimes and only restarts when I log off and on again (Ubuntu 12.04)20:10
auronandacelevo: lsmod will show you what modules are loaded (one of which will be the graphics driver)20:10

Luy1nemjay25 any ideas?20:12
Dartellumauronandace, I saw somewhere some features in Wine only work with the newer kernel of 12.10. If no other compelling reason, exist, I may stay at 12.04.02 for a bit longer.20:12
emjay25Luy1n, what kind of wireless card you got?20:13
Luy1nRalink RT539020:13
streulmaDartellum: you can install wine from a ppa20:13

gustav_Is there any way to forcibly put a process on an exclusive core in a multi-core system?20:15
emjay25Luy1n, well has it ever worked? or has it always been effed up?20:16
levowhat could be the reason for this: when i run a program like totem, firefox or . . the cpu goes 100% for seconds and after that it gets back to normal like 10%. i didn't have this problem before. (it always get overheated)20:16

Luy1n?20:19
emjay25Luy1n, how far away are you from the router?20:20
Jordan_Ugustav_: That sounds a little silly to me. Yes, it is possible, and it's called "CPU Affinity" but I doubt that it will actually help you in any way as the kernel is pretty good at optimising things properly automatically, and you're mostly *removing* options from the kernel by setting affinity.20:21
dd_hello. i'm setting up my FQDN ex: server-name.example.com. does that url need to actually do something if you go to it? right now it's just returning 40420:21

Luy1nthat depends. right now it's one storey above me. Sometimes two, but sometimes (when I'm at University) quite near20:21

twist3dgustav_, what it will not do is prevent other tasks from using that core20:36

tgm4883gustav_, that isn't what I'd call compromised AV. But yea, I've seen a virus disable the software before (usually it just wrecks the stack so the AV can't start)20:44

Symyonhi guys20:45
gustav_tgm4883: What do you mean?20:45
SolarisBoygustav_: no - if your tools dont rely on shared libs are statically compiled (im sure rkhunter is one that you can compile and drop on a usb) then they can't be affected by some system issues20:45

userUbu0804Hi, my pc is 6 to 7 years old (laptop). I looove ubuntu and I want to use ubuntu as dual boot on my laptop but the latest version doesn't perform good at all. Last ubuntu which worked pretty well was 08.04.22:56
userUbu0804If I install that just to use ubuntu, will it be ok now in 2013 ?22:56
KionuserUbu0804: you could try xubuntu for older hardware22:57
userUbu0804Kion, yes they told me again about xubuntu. but whats the difference in xubuntu?22:57
KionuserUbu0804: it has a different desktop that makes it lighter.22:58

kalenjohnsonelectronplusplus, not to discourage you, but if you're just starting, you'll want to find some tutorials or some help and guidance to get started23:02

SonikkuAmerica!flavors23:10
ubottu!Kubuntu and !Xubuntu are simply flavors of Ubuntu that come with KDE and Xfce (respectively) installed as default, instead of GNOME. Other specialized flavors of Ubuntu include !Edubuntu, Ubuntu !Studio,  !Mythbuntu, and !Lubuntu23:10
SonikkuAmericainstead of GNOME... uh... instead of Unity, you mean.23:10
mojtabaSonikkuAmerica: Error splicing file: Input/output error23:10
mojtabaSonikkuAmerica: it just stopped copying files23:11
