[01:11] why would you think its not free? [01:12] supports 64, but I really want to compile wine for some unsupported patches but have not had any luck on 64 bit [01:12] its part of ubuntu so under the gpl isent it? [01:12] veryhappy: everything in ubuntu is free (as in free speech) [01:12] ok [01:12] dr_willis: because i read something about commercial service that costs 250 [01:12] servvs: there ya go.. you answerd your own question then. ;) [01:12] except for the ubuntu-restricted-extras [01:12] veryhappy: commercial does not mean something is not free [01:12] veryhappy: sure it dident read 'comercial support' ?

[01:14] wsent it just stated that landcape is commonly used these days instead?

[01:17] hi, i need to reinstall 12.10 generic graphic driver [01:17] servvs: not that easy [01:17] servvs: creating a deb needs special steps so you cant just say "make a deb from the content of directory foobar" [01:18] is that what he was asking? ;) i totallyu missread it then [01:18] servvs: and i dont see a reason to compile wine [01:18] thought he ment a chroot install.

[01:20] servvs: you can even say to compile for arm [01:24] servvs: and if you want for example create a 32bit deb on an amd64 system there is a setting "any/all" [01:24] Hi, I have a question about display settings - I've done a lot of forum searching and found a bunch of questions, but no solutions. [01:25] servvs: in debian/control if you use "any" it will create 32bit and 64bit, if you use "all" it will create an architecrue-indepented paket [01:25] servvs: http://www.debian.org/doc/debian-policy/ch-controlfields.html [01:25] My display is in widescreen, but with a 4:3 resolution - the pixels aren't square.

[02:35] because youhave said somthing in the last 4 min or so. [02:36] well. i would if i was currently using weechat.. on my android phone rightnow [02:36] dr_willis: thanks man, installing now. [02:36] oh? its android compat? === Copper_ is now known as Guest11094 [02:36] weecchat has a 'server/forwarding' featutre to connect to a weechat client thats out now on android also [02:36] but its experimental. [02:37] dr_willis: works for me, if you're not living on the edge, you're taking up too much space ;) [02:38] theres living on the edge.. then theres getting lost in the abyss [02:38] the weechat client now for android.. i am typing this.. it semi works.. it just dosent echo anything that i can see.. so its so broken for me - its useless === Garrett is now known as Guest26151 === Guest26151 is now known as Garr255 [02:39] dr_willis: but like everything these days, the abyss is digital too, there's always a reset button [02:39] Yep. it still has issues for weechat + weechat android client. [02:39] i tend to use znc to bounce irc anyway. [02:40] well, no big deal it don't work on the phone, I wouldn't need it that much. Lets face it, irc for the most part is join/part rtfm eh? :) [02:40] that maybe whats causing my issues.. [02:40] i rarely see any join/part messages these days. :) [02:40] turn them off is the first thing i do [02:40] and ive read mostof the docs.. years ago. ;P [02:41] back when they called em rfc's I would have to assume ;) [02:41] they still got RFCs [02:41] back in the day when tldp.org was the defacto doc place. [02:41] yeah, but back then they called em rfcs [02:42] ok, i solved my 12.10 installation after a motherboard change, but now Nvidia CK804, it's perfectly present, with all volumes right on alsamixer, but it's completely mute [02:42] can you help me to give it voice? [02:42] using the hdmi audio output? [02:43] dr_willis, not, the 3,5 jack [02:43] nice krabador [02:43] hmm. may want to install/check the pavcontrol tool. [02:43] !info pavcontrol [02:43] dr_willis, it's the ac97 integrated audio of Nforce chipset [02:43] Package pavcontrol does not exist in quantal [02:43] hmm what was its name, [02:43] Anteros, :D [02:43] !info pavucontrol [02:43] pavucontrol (source: pavucontrol): PulseAudio Volume Control. In component universe, is optional. Version 1.0-1 (quantal), package size 140 kB, installed size 953 kB [02:44] No idea what that U in the nameis for. ;) [02:44] but ive had to use pavUcontrol befor - to tweak the sound output on some machines [02:44] % [02:45] dr_willis, it's a little bit annoying to look the card, all right in the alsa.conf on alsamixer,a and correctly set by default [02:45] and don't hear nothing :D [02:45] perhaps thats beccause youneed to be messing with the pulse settings? [02:45] ! [02:46] dr_jesus, mmm [02:46] pavucontrol has a thing to select what sound output to use. it may be defaulting to the HDMI out. eventho its not used [02:46] ive had that happen on other pcs [02:47] ive also had pcs default to the analog out.. when i was using HDMI output.. :) [02:48] which i guess is basically a way of saying the system is using the wrong soundcard. [02:48] I think theres some alsa cli tools to change that also... [02:48] dr_willis, yes, it's clear. on alsamixer, in the list of audio cards, i've only the ac97... [02:49] i've got an ubuntu 12.04 workstation w/ a lot of defaults on it and am not familiar w/ upstart systems or lightdm, if i'm looking to boot to bash and use startx, what do i need to fiddle with [02:50] !text | nathan28 [02:50] nathan28: To start your system in text-only mode append 'text' (without the quotes) to the kernel line in the grub menu. You can access the grub menu by pressing Esc (Grub legacy) or Shift (Grub2) during boot. For more info see https://help.ubuntu.com/community/BootOptions#Text%20Mode [02:50] use the text mode option. ;) [02:51] dr_willis: thx [02:51] Does anyone here use Eclipse on Ubuntu? I just installed Eclipse 3.7.2 in Ubuntu 12.04. That pulled in libswt-* 3.7.2. But when I try to start eclipse, it gives me an error, and points me to a log file that starts out: "java.lang.UnsatisfiedLinkError: Could not load SWT library. Reasons:no swt-gtk-3740 in java.library.path no swt-gtk in java.library.path" Any ideas? [02:51] krabador: in the output section of the audio parameters, do you have a connector selection at the bottom of the panel? And if so, are there options within it? Eg headphones/speakers? [02:52] embed-ns, analog out / amplifier [02:53] pedahzur: looks like you need the swt library. Try "apt-cache search swt" to get some package names [02:53] krabador: also, in the hardware section, do you have choices for digital/analog ? [02:53] Why do flash games lag under ubuntu? Any way to fix it? [02:53] embed-ns, yes [02:54] tigrang, do you have the latest driver for your graphic card? [02:54] krabador, and are you attempting to use analog output (eg 1/8" audio out?) [02:54] embed-ns, yes [02:54] Anteros: I already have libswt-gtk-* installed (the eclipse install (apt-get install eclipse) installed those). And the log complains about not being able to find swt-gtk in the path. [02:54] krabador, im using open source drivers (amd) [02:55] krabador: so, if you select analog in Output, and analog in Hardward, still no sound? [02:55] embed-ns, yes, no sound [02:55] pedahzur: is eclipse searching a different $path? try running ldconfig and restarting [02:55] embed-ns, it was a known bug a copuple of years ago [02:56] krabador: in the Hardware section, bottom of the panel, how many options in the profile section? [02:56] embed-ns, with this integrates audiocard [02:57] Hmm [02:57] embed-ns, many... [02:57] all righty trying the weechat android client thing without znc. [02:58] krabador: which one is currently selected? [02:58] Anteros: Same error. Eclipse is a Java application, not sure ldconfig would apply here. [02:58] embed-ns, analog / amplifiers [02:59] krabador: do you have an option for simply analog stero duplex? [02:59] embed-ns, excuse me, "hardware section" on audio options? [02:59] pedahzur: http://stackoverflow.com/questions/10165693/eclipse-cannot-load-swt-libraries [02:59] im glad i dont have to use eclipse for my job. ;) i see so many weird issues with it mentioned in here. [02:59] hardware section on audio options yes [03:00] krabador, there are two sections that need to be used in tandem here. 1) Output (connector) and 2) Hardware (profile) [03:00] they need to match up. [03:00] is there a command to give me unique file name if it is already taken? myname(1), myname(2)... ? [03:01] hi i am doinng an apt-get install moodle. i just thought about it and i was going to make another test partition i can make with ubuntu server so if i wanted to remove what i just installed what would be the command? apt-get remove moodle ? [03:01] bencc: hmm, how about the date command :) [03:01] Anteros: Solution here: http://stackoverflow.com/questions/10165693/eclipse-cannot-load-swt-libraries [03:02] embed-ns, ok, i've "digital output, mono analog out /no amplifier , mono analog out / amplifier , analog out /no amplifier , analog out / amplifier " [03:02] amigamia: apt really dosent do installing to selectable areas.. if that what you mean. [03:02] pedahzur: yes, thats what I linked [03:02] embed-ns: I don't want it to be too long. so myname(2) is better [03:02] amigamia: apt-get remove should cleanly remove it.. the purge option will remove all config files as well [03:02] greetings good people, I come with problems to solve [03:02] krabador, which of the two is that one? Output? if so, lets go for analog out / no amplifier [03:03] embed-ns, on audio options, i haven't an hardware section, i've only "output, input, effects,application" [03:03] dr_willis what i was meaning was to use 80gig not used on this laptop and create a test environment for stuff i am doing so i dont have to rebuild this laptop working environment again [03:03] krabador, no hardware section? I guess that's it for my assistance then. [03:03] Is there any way of forcing my nvidia card to output 1366x768 resolution? [03:03] embed-ns, it's selected "analog out / amplifier" [03:03] amigamia: theres various sandboxing methods i imagine.. but i never use that stuff [03:03] Anteros: Sorry...didn't even see you paste that link...not sure why. [03:03] Thanks. [03:03] zZeus: the xrandr command has force res options i recall [03:04] embed-ns, must i set to "no amplifier" ? [03:04] Roger that Dr_Willis, I'll try [03:04] no my question was can i do a apt-get uninstall / remove moodle? which command is it? [03:04] uninstall remove? [03:04] krabador, what kind of speaker system are you outputting to? the systems internal speakers or some type of external speaker?

[03:06] krabador, and your problem may be the impedance of the jack in the stereo system too. [03:07] krabador, not having a Hardware section in your audio panel is kind of odd tho too. [03:07] embed-ns, i ever used this for all the mainboard i had, now it's the first time i've something like this, [03:07] krabador, that would be where you would be able to make sure its using analog instead of hdmi [03:07] embed-ns, i'm on 12.10 [03:08] I'm trying to use CVT to write me a good modeline, but for some reason, it keeps outputting the same help screen [03:08] embed-ns, how would figuring the hdmi on andio option ? [03:08] Even though I'm feeding it -v and -r [03:08] embed-ns, on alsamixer i've only this nvidia card [03:08] krabador, do you not have access to the regular Audio panel, the pulse panel? [03:09] embed-ns, the audio panel on the logoff menu, to the right [03:10] excuse me, the audio panel on the speaker , to the right of the black bar [03:10] krabador, found by clicking the speaker icon in the upper right (well, depending on where you put your tray), and then selecting Sound Settings [03:11] embed-ns, yes, i ever had this panel, on our conversation :) [03:11] but no Hardware panel within it? [03:11] embed-ns, yes, no hardware panel [03:11] krabador, sorry man, I can't help then. [03:12] only "output, input effects applications" tabs === 20WAB4FIL is now known as sirriffsalot [03:13] krabador, maybe your hardware only outputs hdmi so there is no need for a hardware options panel. [03:13] no idea [03:13] embed-ns, ok, but alsamixer displays me only this ac97 card [03:14] krabador, I have only one card too, but my panel shows me a hardware settings panel that allows me to select options, I have to select analog to get mine to work. [03:15] alsa mixer F6 to change audio device [03:15] maybe you need to expand alsamixer, it could hide more options than you can see [03:16] embed-ns, if you mean for "hardware panel" the screen on "output" section, with "analog out / amplifier" and other voices, i've the hardware panel [03:16] wow, I've not the time to start over, that was question #1 [03:16] gotta go === XenGi_ is now known as XenGi [03:23] please help me with "00:04.0 Multimedia audio controller: NVIDIA Corporation CK804 AC'97 Audio Controller (rev a2)" === lili is now known as Guest97201 [03:29] so when i hit ctrl + leftarrow in terminal, it deletes a letter instead of moving by word, any thoughts on this?

[04:21] Flyzoola, ah, different scenario. [04:21] Flyzoola, so on rebooting to an old kernel, you STILL panic? [04:22] cfhowlett: it weird, it loads up a boot image of like Ubuntu 8.something.

[05:08] isk8ufsusd: try "du -s /home | sort -rn | less " [05:08] isk8ufsusd: it'll take a bit of time to run [05:09] isk8ufsusd: sit might be .xsession-errors or .xsession-errors.old in your home directory is taking up all your space [05:09] isk8ufsusd: also note that it is relegated to your /home folder [05:09] how to list files in /var/www/abc over the web [05:09] i want to let users to download all files === Dr_Manhattan is now known as DrManhattan [05:10] What's the best way to get a newer version of a package than is in the current repo? [05:10] hanthana: apache [05:11] dougbb: download it ? Note that it would be best to add its repo if its third party [05:11] dougbb: build it [05:11] Anteros: I suspected that was the answer, but I need a suggestion on where to look :) [05:12] dougbb: it depends on the package, google should turn up some locations [05:12] Anteros, not so far ... it's libnet-dns-perl [05:13] Anteros, yes on apache but what are the settings [05:13] Anteros that command is not doing anything for me [05:13] the only ones I've found are 0.68 or lower, I need 0.7 [05:14] dougbb: if you really need to you might have to build it from source. note that packages are generally better [05:14] Yes, that's why I'm here asking :) [05:15] hanthana: you have to setup apache to your liking. I believe that you'll have to make a virtual directory as described in httpd.conf [05:15] isk8ufsusd: is the hd activity light solid ? [05:15] dougbb: you want to learn how to build a package from source ? [05:16] looks like the answer to that is yes, unstable only has 0.68 [05:16] Anteros: no [05:17] Hi all, zsh's fade prompt produces random characters on the prompt. This happens on both urxvt and gnome-terminal [05:18] dougbb: download the source, uncompress it "tar xzvf ", configure the package "./configure" resolve dependencies, compile the package "make", and then install it "make install" [05:18] Anteros: it says the command isn't working because [05:18] "no command -rn found" [05:18] did I mean trn [05:18] Anteros: n/m, looks like I already have everything I need to build this one [05:18] thanks though :) [05:18] dougbb: np [05:19] isk8ufsusd: are you sure you typed it as I showed up top? === MK` is now known as MKCoin [05:20] typed it multiple times [05:20] will try again [05:20] guigouz: Thanks man. Installing it now. [05:21] comes back as 122413616 /home [05:22] i missed the space after "less" whodathunk [05:22] isk8ufsusd: ok try this: "du /home | sort -rn | less" [05:24] now it says END but if i type "s" log files comes up [05:25] isk8ufsusd: is there anything in your /home directory ? [05:25] isk8ufsusd: we're looking for a sorted list of files with the largest on top [05:26] that didn't happen [05:26] i am stuck in the command prompt with end [05:26] i can't get out [05:26] hit "q" [05:26] there we go [05:26] in my home folder is the standard stuff from an install [05:26] then i have a media folder where i put a bunch of videos for my kid [05:27] it takes up about 50GB or so [05:27] hmm it should've still brought back something [05:27] but where the random 80GB's comes from that is killing me i don't know [05:28] maybe there isn't anything in my home folder but my home folder should be the one with the desktop and downloads folder and stuff correct [05:28] all your command is returning is the number and then /home [05:29] if you take the "-s" off of the du command it will bring back a full listing instead of the summary [05:29] it could be that the "du /home | sort -rn | less" command was just taking a long time [05:29] isk8ufsusd: try it again and check out the hard drive activity light [05:30] nothing. it returns the number in about .01ms [05:31] isk8ufsusd: do you still have the "-s" after the du command? [05:32] ok without -s a lot of stuff pops up [05:32] isk8ufsusd: ok good [05:33] isk8ufsusd: the list is sorted with the largest files on top and the smallest on the bottom [05:33] you can hit "G" to go to the bottom and "Home" to go back up to the top [05:33] well the biggest file is my media folder [05:34] Anyone successfully developed a "professional" Iphone/pad app on ubuntu, I dont wanna waste alot of money, maybe i could code test on a vm in ubuntu and then just buy an account and upload if i ever finnish the project. Anyone have real experience in this success or fail? [05:34] which is 55571624 [05:34] which i am guessing equates to something like 55GB [05:35] dff [05:35] isk8ufsusd: you can use that command string to find your extra 30GB [05:36] or use the GUI tools [05:36] anywho its time for me to get going [05:36] good luck [05:36] thanks === zaki_ is now known as zaki [05:44] kallep: FWIW, I never got XCode to run on OSX under a VM. Didn't really persevere with it though [05:44] what does it mean when, in unity, the whole window of an application fades out to a dark grey shade and freezes for a few minutes before recovering? === Guest428 is now known as matthewvz [05:51] hhh [05:56] 扫描软件 [05:56] 有没 [05:56] 是的 [06:01] please help me. http://askubuntu.com/questions/267989/failing-to-remote-login-via-xdmcp [06:03] 没有 [06:03] anyway to get current bytes/s throughput of a drive [06:04] from the console [06:04] hi , Would you please tell me how to check if my microphone is working or not ? [06:04] I tried using the sound recorder but it's not showing anything .Please help [06:04] aaas: man hdparm [06:06] somsip do you know the flag for bps ...i cant find it in the man [06:07] aaas: From distant memory, I think -T is something to do with testing speed. But you need to confirm this [06:08] somsip yeah i need something faster...not so much to test, but something like iostat [06:08] but it looks like -T gives you the info fyi [06:09] exit [06:10] aaas: iostat would be my tool of choice at that level, though I don't have to get that gritty very often [06:11] somsip iostat is so close the problem is that the first set of stats gives you 'since boot', I need the second... if you type 'iostats 2' the second set is waht i need... but there's no flag to skip the first :( [06:11] hi [06:12] whats a good wifi dongle for ubuntu [06:12] aaas: you cluld use cut maybe [06:13] I just watched the promo video for the ubuntu phone [06:14] serp_ well it's the refresh... i could do grep/awk, but it only shows the data I want if it runs in 'polling' mode [06:14] I heard something about the phone being able to connect to your computer and be accessed [06:14] does anyone know any details about that? [06:14] !phone | BillyZane [06:14] BillyZane: Information about the Ubuntu Touch platform for Phone and Tablet is available here https://wiki.ubuntu.com/Touch support and discussion in #ubuntu-touch [06:14] join #debian-facile [06:14] oh nice [06:14] thanks [06:14] BillyZane: its all just talk at the moment [06:15] aaas: dunno. I'd be looking into awk for that too, but not sure [06:15] BillyZane: as far as the whole phone to computer thing [06:15] hmm [06:15] somsip yeah no go, can't really awk something that runs forever (at least I dont think) [06:15] lets talk in #ubuntu-touch so as to not anger anyone here [06:16] or not [06:16] lol [06:16] whats a good wifi dongle for ubuntu [06:17] aaas: run iostat in BASH script in a non-continuous mode? while true do iostat -xyz | awk 'stuff' done [06:17] ebay/amazon/newegg? [06:17] somsip yeah i guess...i was hoping that there was a command line way [06:17] by wifi dongle, are you referring to a USB wifi adaptor? [06:17] ya [06:18] aaas: could be, but I use iostat (and awk) when I have to. I don't have the knowledge you need. [06:19] somsip munin does...but they probably use a script too... i guess i have to be happy with ops/s or sectors/s [06:20] goddard: http://www.head-fi.org/t/420697/usb-wifi-dongle-that-works-in-ubuntu [06:30] Has anyone experience problems formatting Hard Drives Through Ubuntu 12.04 [06:30] question, I installed 12.04 server. A simple `df -h,` shows 15GB used, however a `du -shc /*` shows 1.3G used. This is a *fresh* minimal server install, with only openssh, and samba. [06:30] Why would it show 15gb used? [06:31] ah, should mention I'm using software raid1 [06:32] Hey, is anybody about? I have an issue with some broken packages that I could use a hand fixing. [06:33] Everytime I try to format a HD them I'm receiving 2 Errors one is "ext2fs_mkdir: Attempt to read block from filesystem resulted in short read while creating root dir [06:33] " [06:33] I've banged my head into a wall for the last 2months, It works in ubuntu 12.04 SERVER, but not regular 12.04 [06:34] BlackWeb: How are you trying to "format the HD"? [06:35] First I create the Partition, - parted -a optimal "DEVICE" mklabel "msdos&gpt" Then mkpart, quit mkfs.ext3 "Partition" [06:35] codezombie: pastebin df -h and let's take a look. === SwedMike is now known as SwedeMike [06:35] it Fails during creating the filesystem [06:35] doesnt matter which mklabel I use msdos or gpt [06:36] BlackWeb: Is this a removable drive? [06:36] SwedeMike: https://gist.github.com/gitt/39027435cb8c2102946d [06:36] No regular 2TB Internal WD HD; mkfs.ext3 "DEVICE" fails about 1/2 way [06:37] BlackWeb: I wonder if the kernel's view of the partition size is not being properly updated after changing the partition table. [06:37] SwedeMike: the 2 1TB drives are split to be ( 2x 4GB (8GB swap), 2x 927GB (root fs), and 2x 1mb (bios boot)) [06:37] formatted as ext4 [06:37] I've actually sent the Hard Drives back to WD for advance replacement, Only to have the new drive repeat the same scenario, Which I've tried gparted's GUI same issue [06:38] is there a way to replace the kernel with a newer version through command line [06:38] could be a bad cable [06:38] BlackWeb: Could you pastebin the output of "dmesg" after mkfs fails? [06:38] BlackWeb: And the full output of all commands. [06:39] codezombie: hm, I don't have an answer. 1.3G sounds more like a fresh install than 15GB. what filesystem was / again? ext4 all of them? [06:39] But ya the weird thing is I bought 2 Brand new Machines Same SPECS, One has Server 12.04, & the Other Regular 12.04 Both supposely using the same version of kernel, But Server Side worked perfect [06:39] Yea one sec [06:39] SwedeMike: the root fs (/) is ext4 [06:40] BlackWeb: That actually strengthens the bad cable theory. I thought it was two Ubuntu installations performing differently on the same hardware, not just the same model of hardware. [06:40] I did a reboot on system would it be just in regular /var/log/dmesg [06:40] SwedeMike: yeah, I'm no nix newbie, and this is the first I've had this issue. My other machines show correct usage. [06:40] codezombie: do an ls -la / and see if there is some filename starting with . in / ? [06:41] I thought maybe because I was using raid, but 15GB seems excessive. [06:41] codezombie: yeah, I'm no newbie either and I'm kind of out of ideas as well. [06:41] SwedeMike: nope, no hidden files in / [06:41] hi...i've created a pair key to ssh to my server, the pub key has been put under authorized_keys, but i cant login to the server, this is really silly but i cant figure it out whats the problem! [06:41] hi, I am newbie [06:41] BlackWeb: Try swapping the drives (the ones you're running Ubuntu from) between the computers, to confirm that the difference is actually the Ubuntu installation rather than the hardware. I think you'll find with both versions of Ubuntu will work on one machine and fail on the other. [06:42] linda666: try ssh with -vvv for verbose output if the error is not clear [06:43] Another thing is when the system boots then it sees the drive say as /dev/sdb; Then when I try to format it then it fails Reboots then sees the Drive as /dev/sdg [06:44] I'm getting awful performance in samba as well... Though, I think that's just samba. [06:44] how to show all directory's byte usage in my home directory in one command ? [06:45] I have the synaptic error icon on my panel, and when I click it it tells me that the error message was "Error: BrokenCount > 0" and recommends running apt-get install -f [06:45] sabonis: du -h -b ./ [06:45] sabonis: assuming your current directory is home... [06:46] The output from apt-get install -f is this: http://paste.ubuntu.com/5615745/ [06:46] And from here, I'm not sure what to do. [06:47] thanks, somsip [06:47] but.. [06:47] Carlington: pastebin the output of: apt-cache policy libcairo2 [06:47] Jordan_U you still online [06:48] BlackWeb: Yes. [06:48] it recursively shows all dir including sub-dir. [06:48] http://paste.ubuntu.com/5615747/ [06:48] I found error logs in /var/log/syslog pertaining to that if you want me to msg you & show you [06:48] sabonis: so what did you really want it to do?

Always prefix someone's nick when talking to them :) [06:52] Carlington: and I see you enabled some shady 3rd party repo. That's most likely the explanation. [06:53] ? [06:53] Alright Thanks for the Help Jordan_U & everyone :), lil frustrated but gonna try reinstalling OS or Even try loading Windows to see if it can Format it [06:54] sabonis: try this find . -type d -print0 | xargs -0 du -h -b [06:54] Seveas: Shady third party repo? The only new repo I've enabled lately was the repo for the Intel graphics driver installer. [06:55] Carlington: yup, that one. [06:55] Seveas: Alrighty. Fixing time! Should I also uninstall the intel installer package? [06:55] Carlington: I'd uninstall/downgrade whatever came from there [06:56] there's no reason for them to ship a cairo update for an installer, who knows what other crap is in there [06:57] Okay, I've not removed a repo before. If I added the repo with "wget --no-check-certificate https://download.01.org/gfx/RPM-GPG-KEY-ilg -O - | sudo apt-key add -" [06:57] How do I remove? [06:58] Carlington: it'll be somewhere in /etc/apt/sources.list or /etc/apt/soures.list.d [07:01] Seveas: Do I just delete the .list file from sources.list.d? [07:02] running openssh on ubuntu 12.04 [07:02] wait, no [07:03] !ppa-purge [07:03] 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:/ » – For more information, see http://www.webupd8.org/2009/12/remove-ppa-repositories-via-command.html [07:04] dr_willis: I can't install ppa-purge, because the broken libcairo packages are preventing me from installing any new packages. [07:07] my text edited in libreoffice looks ok on the screen, but when it's printed some letters overlap each other, WHY? :( [07:08] This is really quite frustrating. [07:08] just moveing the files out of /etc/apt/sources.list.d/ should disable the ppa.. but wont revert whatever you insstalled from it [07:09] jony: try printing to a pdf file and see if they are also messed up there. [07:09] find . -type d -print0 | xargs -0 du -h -b #this shows the same output [07:09] dr_willis, If I already know which packages are causing the problem, is there a way to force them to downgrade without uninstalling them completely? [07:10] if the packages are broken - i dont think disaling the ppa will affect the broken state [07:11] No, but how can I repair them? I will worry about disabling the ppa later, for now I just want to fix the broken packages, preferably without removing them. [07:11] a downgrade would be an uninstall then reinstall of a differnt version [07:11] so i dont get whats the big deal about removeing them [07:12] if you disable/purge the ppa - it SHOULD reinstall the versions from the repos - and remove the ppa versions [07:12] Removing them is going to also remove a whole lot of other packages that depend on them, amongst them unity [07:13] apt can remove/install on the same command line i recall. [07:13] i forget the syntax howevver that might not remove the other packages.. [07:13] dr_willis, I tried already, the pdf's are printing correctly [07:14] jony: what if you print the pdf? [07:14] Hello, new to Ubuntu desktop. Playing music in Rythymbox now, functionally okay (especially folder watching to add new tracks). But I'd like player controls in the taskbar - can Rythymbox do this, or is there another good player I should be looking at? [07:15] sixseven: i thought it had player controlls in the menus under the speaker icon [07:15] dr_willis thanks just found them. Would prefer not to have to click there - dedicated buttons in the system tray would be great [07:16] But that will do nicely for now [07:16] and have basically been removed because it makes for a cluttered interface [07:16] Fair enough :) [07:16] dr_willis, if I convert the file as PDF, it prints correctly [07:16] there might be some indicator applets for it. [07:16] sixseven, there are also controls if you right-click the app icon for Rhythmbox on the launcher [07:16] gotta love quicklists in unity. ;) [07:16] Cheers Carlington [07:17] I thought I was going to hate on Unity, had a brief look just after release (in a VM) and didnt like it. Now I have it running on a decent dedicated PC, its pretty good. [07:17] dr_willis, I think my main problem was that I had two conflicting versions of libcairo2 installed at once, somehow. I removed the worse version which has fixed the problem, but also uninstalled 20 other packages. [07:17] jony: sounds like a printer driver issue.. but you may want to ask in the libreoffice channel [07:20] Hello! I would like to ask you a little help, I'm trying to set up an sms gateway "kannel", and I can not run my bearerbox, there are wandering port, I can not repaired, Please can you provide me solution [07:22] 'wandering port' ? === fork is now known as Guest20173 [07:22] hi everyone [07:23] anyone can help me about unknown second monitor issue [07:24] dr_w [07:24] dr_willis, TY [07:26] !ask | ErtanERBEK [07:26] Okay, I've got ppa-purge installed, I have gotten rid of the bad package and the bad repo, and reverted everything that was altered. dr_willis Seveas thanks for your help.

[07:34] because of that I just want reinstall display manager but how ? [07:34] ErtanERBEK: you use the system settings tool to set the resolution to use.

But I get a "crash" whenever I try to login on the GUI login. It shows a bunch of messages on the console and immediately puts me back on the login screen. Oddly, guest DOES work. [07:39] how can I check the version of graphic card driver installed on my machine? [07:39] loquitus: this was a clean install? or an upgrade? [07:40] dr_willis: clean. except for /home. I left /home from my previous install. Note that I did create a new user that was not in /home before, but logging in with that new user yields the same results. [07:40] dr_willis: But like I said… guest works. [07:40] loquitus: that points to a problem with yuour users settings files. [07:40] c2tarun: try xvinfo [07:40] dr_willis: can you elaborate please? [07:40] loquitus: make some backup directory and move the various .config and .local files to it... [07:41] I installed Ubuntu 12.10 on a laptop - all good. Installed xfce4 via apt-get to try xfce - worked great. Uninstalled - no prob. INstalled xubuntu-desktop via apt-get worked fine, then uninstalled using apt-get --purge remove xubuntu-desktop and using unity fine, but no Ubuntu splash on startup and the shutdwon screen is xubuntus one (even though Im back on unity). Functionally nothings wrong, but can I fix this? [07:41] loquitus: which will reset your old users settings back to defaults that should work [07:41] loquitus: also check that your .Xauthority is not owned by root. [07:41] bbl. got a job. [07:41] Ubuntu_user001, it didn't tell me the version, see here: http://paste.ubuntu.com/5615808/ [07:42] dr_willis: these .config and .local files in my home/whoever directory? [07:42] Ubuntu_user001, actually I wan't to check that which version I have among this list: support.amd.com/us/gpudownload/linux/previous/Pages/radeon_linux.aspx [07:45] loquitus: the dirs are called .config and .local and it could be other app config files causing the issue also [07:47] dr_willis: stupid question but these dirs are in my home directories, right? I just noticed, btw… that the files in /home/me are not owned by me… is it possible that since /home was kept behind, that somehow the ownership is all messed up with respect to the new user id numbers? [07:47] dr_willis: when I even run nano, I get: Error reading /home/me/.nano_history: Permission denied [07:48] tor is running & working butVidalia says tor is not running [07:49] which is best option to install the driver? install from addition sources or download latest stable from ATI site and install?

[08:10] loquitus: i always add the new user/initial user back using the exact name as the old install. ;) so i never have that issue [08:10] why would you want to uninstall the command-not-found tool. ;) its so handy [08:11] dr_willis: it's f*ing annoying [08:11] phht! ;) [08:11] I recognize my typos better than it and it just slows me down. It's one of the first things I get rid of :) === Janus- is now known as Coffeecoco [08:11] i use it to actually find package names...

[08:14] other way around... I need coffee [08:14] would it be ok to ask a Q here? [08:14] SKu77: ask away, we're here to help! :) [08:15] zetheroo: because you did something wrong [08:15] Good Morning [08:15] zetheroo: can you paste your cronjobs? [08:15] would it be ok to update my 10.04 ubuntu to the latest kernel let say 3.5 or 3.8? [08:15] zetheroo: check /var/log/syslog for messages from cron [08:15] SKu77: i imagine thats going to be a rather tough task. [08:15] I need some help with a bash script, I don't know how to get the items from an array [08:15] SKu77: why would you do that? [08:15] what would be the highest kernel version i can update with out breaking applications [08:15] iceroot: but at the appointed time (21:00) there is no entry in syslog at all [08:16] zetheroo: can you paste your cronjobs? [08:16] I'm doing this at the moment: "echo -n $(Days[$1])" [08:16] SKu77: the highest in the repos for your release i belive. [08:16] iceroot: 0 21 * * * /var/lib/libvirt/scripts/backup-rana [08:16] Im wondering if that would be possible [08:16] I get that Days[3] is an invalid command [08:16] zetheroo: is that file executable? [08:16] SKu77: theoretically you can run any newer kernel. The days that the kernel/dbus api/abi broke all the freaking time is over. Though why would you if the older one is running fine? [08:16] zetheroo: ls -l /var/lib/libvirt/scripts/backup-rana [08:17] zetheroo: that is part of "crontab -e"? or did you put it in /etc/cron.d/? [08:17] yes [08:17] -rwxr-xr-x 1 root root 164 Mar 13 15:17 /var/lib/libvirt/scripts/backup-rana [08:17] hi! any one here using a OCSng Inventory? [08:17] just being curious i guess [08:17] hi , Would you please tell me how to check if my microphone is working or not ? I tried using the sound recorder but it's not showing anything .Please help [08:17] maybe there are improvements if i upgrade [08:17] i really do not know [08:17] paulcsiki: what command is your "Day" or better; what do you want that echo -... to do? [08:17] quick-: have a look at "alsamixer" if the mic is muted. also check pavucontrol [08:17] what can you suggest? [08:17] SKu77: you may have better improbements by going to a newer release [08:18] SKu77, why not just update to a newer release? [08:18] llutz: Days is an array: "Days=( Sunday Monday Tuesday Wednesday Thursday Friday Saturday )" [08:18] I am using backtrack 5 r3 [08:18] updated my kernel recently to 3.2.15 [08:18] !bt | SKu77 [08:18] SKu77: thats not really a disrto made for daily ussage.. [08:18] iceroot: I found something in syslog.1 [08:18] paulcsiki: ${Days[$1]} [08:18] !backtrack | SKu77 [08:18] SKu77: There are some Ubuntu derivatives that we cannot provide support for due to repository and software changes.

[08:18] this is for my pentesting [08:18] SKu77: curiosity is a good thing, go for it. Just remember to back up :) [08:19] That's the same thing as I wrote: "echo -n $(Days[$1])" [08:19] for a testing system - i would think you would always want the latest release of a disrto. [08:19] yeah! [08:19] I get invalid command... [08:19] last night i updated with out backing up [08:19] lolz [08:19] but gladly it worked for me [08:19] living on the edge, eh :) [08:19] from 3.2.6 to 3.2.15 [08:19] paulcsiki: because the shell is trying to execute Days? [08:19] paulcsiki: see also #bash [08:19] SKu77: backtrack is not supported here [08:20] Thank you for the answers [08:20] i understand [08:20] :) [08:20] thanks alot again [08:20] mplayer playlist: i wrote a script that updates a single item playlist and opened mplayer with a endless loop to reload the playliyst but obviously its not updating - any idea whats going on there? [08:20] iceroot: if it's syntax the problem, do you know what I did wrong? [08:20] zetheroo: then cron is executing it [08:20] SKu77: Please don't flood; use http://paste.ubuntu.com to paste; don't use Enter as punctuation. [08:20] very much appreciated [08:20] paulcsiki: ask in #bash [08:20] iceroot: will do [08:20] iceroot: yes, it's a darn mistake with the naming of the VM - sorry my bad [08:20] im using ubuntu 12.10 with encryption, and i noticed that fstrim no longer works on my SSD "fstrim: /: FITRIM ioctl failed: Operation not supported" is the error i get, is this normal for encrypted drives? [08:20] raven: there is no need for crossposting in #bash and #ubuntu [08:21] zetheroo: no problem, you are welcome [08:21] cute_bettong: encryption is softwarebased, not hardware based [08:21] paulcsiki:echo ${array[index]} to get an element of an array [08:21] cute_bettong: so i dont think its related to encryption [08:21] lcabreza: I'd start with the foundation, then making sure you have diverse power feeds and various incoming internet pipes. Then emergency aggregators and diesel supply. From there on raised floors, airconditioning, sealed cold rows and nice 44u racks. Then a cabling contractor for fiber and utp. Oh and maybe order some switches, storage and server. It's all very offtopic here though :) [08:22] iceroot, in 12.04 64bit TRIM worked just fine, is there something i need to do to my SSD to make it work in 12.10? [08:22] cute_bettong: if i am correct TRIM is handled by the SSD itself or am i wrong? [08:23] i have got a strange problem...i keep experience periodic reboots at approx same time .... /var/log/*.log say nothin, entries always start after the reboot [08:24] n8w: grep reboot /etc/cron.* [08:24] iceroot, as far as i know you have to run TRIM manually in ubuntu with the "sudo fstrim /" command, thats as far as i know [08:24] n8w: but before the reboot there should be an entry in /var/log/syslog [08:25] cute_bettong: ah ok, maybe i thought trim is something different [08:25] cute_bettong: mount option" discard" to enable trim [08:27] !pm | cute_bettong [08:27] cute_bettong: Please ask your questions in the channel so that other people can help you, benefit from your questions and answers, and ensure that you're not getting bad advice.

[10:23] Hey, so... I just had a system crash that seems to have come from Xorg, where Xorg just up and froze. I managed to recover the system by SSH and resetting Xorg that way (control-alt-backspace wasn't working) but I was wondering if there's somewhere I could try to look for an error log or something?

[10:47] Junctions, I have an Alienware d900t, I think i just solved my graphics issue (unsure) But I seem to be missing audio and wireless.

XP refused to install (Wouldnt detect my harddrive) so I threw on ubuntu. === Averell847 is now known as 13WAARK9M === sebastien is now known as Guest53009 [10:54] jack3mbs, although it would be odd that it didn't work when it did on previous versions (Dapper/Feisty) https://wiki.ubuntu.com/LaptopTestingTeam/Old/AlienwareMX7700 [10:55] junctions, do you somehow have a screen reader on me? I was JUST looking at that. [10:55] are you sure it's not a hardware issue? [10:55] hahaha [10:56] Is it possible to redirect the output of a command (for example "ls") ot a file. I tried "echo ls > file" but it appends the text "ls" and not the output of command "ls"> [10:56] junctions to be honest, I am not sure. I got this laptop without harddrives in it, stuffed one of my own in it. Surprised I got myself this far. [10:57] jack3mbs I would suggest testing it out with a live usb drive of something more... conservative, like debian [10:58] gnuLix are you trying to run that in a bash script? [10:59] I found my mistake. I don't need the "echo" part. Just "command > file" [10:59] *frown* Junctions, oh man that might have to wait for another week. lol ive blown through my bandwidth this week downloading multiple versions of OSs as it is. lol fml [11:00] gnuLix right :), unless you're setting up a bash script to do a cron job or something like that [11:00] junctions: thanks :) [11:00] jack3mbs oh crap... bandwidth caps are the worst... [11:01] Hm, apparently my entire Ubuntu boot partition is gone [11:01] Do I just add it? [11:01] (Installed Windows 8, trying to recover ubuntu) [11:01] jujunctions, however that page you linked me gave me a bunch of my info i needed :D thank you for that [11:02] hey guys === linuxthefish` is now known as linuxthefish [11:02] can i make windows the first one to boot as default on the bootloader after i install ubuntu ? [11:02] jack3mbs, hehe, no problem, and good luck getting it working! there might be some very lightweight linux distros out there, but probably not very supportive of old soundcards... [11:03] james78, yes, you only have to change the grub config file [11:03] junctions: and one more question. Is it possible to keep formatting after the command redirection because after "ls > file" I have every folder or file in a new line? [11:03] whats that ? [11:03] any tut ? [11:03] junctions, maybe now that I got ubuntu installed from scrach, the xp install might pick up the harddrive again. n.n ubuntu is my backup. [11:03] !grub2 > James78 [11:03] James78, please see my private message [11:03] gnuLix do you mean to append to the new file? that would be: [11:03] ls >> file === fisted_ is now known as fisted [11:05] hi everyone [11:05] no, no to append. For example if you don't do redirection and type "ls" in the terminal you see the result in columns depending the width of your window. But if you redirect this command the result in the file will be every name of folder or file in a new line as a bunch of text. [11:05] Anyone who can help me out. I have configured 2 interfaces on a ubuntu 12.04 and i get a error when restarting the interfaces where it says: RTNETLINK answers: File exists, failed to bring up eth1. [11:06] Is this a DNS error or what is it complaining about? [11:06] hi everyone [11:06] Drenriza: It is an interface error, totally unrelated to DNS. [11:07] How do i resolve it? [11:07] bump [11:07] gnuLix, ah, now I understand, but since there's no information on the "window size" when you pipe (>) to a file, it will always do one file per line. I don't know how to easily do it differently [11:09] i typed " echo 'blacklist snd_intel8x0' | sudo tee -a /etc/modprobe.d/blacklist " trying to solve an audio problem [11:09] how can i come back? [11:09] junctions: ok, thanks [11:09] Anyone who can help me out? [11:11] krabador, from what I see you only appended that line to that file [11:11] hey all, could anyone answer a quick question for me - I have a disk that's failed, and I'm trying to repartition it (there's no important data on there), however, gparted repports it having a size approximately 3x the actual physical size of the disk! recreating the partition table has no effect, however, even more strangely hdparm -I actually reports the correct size. Any idea what might be going on? Cheers. [11:12] junctions, ok, i can edit and only delete the line and save, to solve? [11:13] i there, I hope somebody could help me out. I have built a .deb package for ubuntu. I want to sign it. I cant sign the usual way because there is no source for it. all are binary. any help would be much appreciated [11:13] krabador, there are some ways to do this in only elegantly, however, I'm not that much of an expert. so you can use vim: [11:13] sudo vim /etc/modprobe.d/blacklist [11:13] once in vim press G to go to the last line and there press 'dd' (two times d) [11:13] then type ":wq" (without quotes) and then return to write and quit [11:13] Can I easily make a Ubuntu LIVE USB stick from Ubuntu? [11:13] If so, how? [11:13] krabador, yes, edit, delete line, save. [11:13] (12.04) [11:14] inashdeen_: Do you have a GPG key? [11:14] Hyperbyte, yes there's a program called startup disk creator, if you don't have it install it and it'll let you do that easily [11:14] Hyperbyte: the usb-startup disk creator tool.. or dd ;) [11:14] junctions, really thanx [11:14] Anyone who can help me out. I have configured 2 interfaces on a ubuntu 12.04 and i get a error when restarting the interfaces where it says: RTNETLINK answers: File exists, failed to bring up eth1.

But if I log in as any of the old users I do get this functionality. [11:15] dr_willis, junctions, thanks. :) [11:15] inashdeen_: gpg --list-keys ? [11:16] TK-999 : yes, I have two key, if I am not mistaken :) [11:16] junctions: chech wht shell the user is using.. how did you make the new account? i bet you used useradd instead of adduser... [11:17] Hyperbyte: Installing to a USB stick is as simple as using another USB stick or a live CD and pick the stick as the HDD to install to :P [11:17] dr_willis: thanks! damn these dumb problems :P [11:17] junctions: i doubt ifyou ever want to use 'useradd' - i always use adduser [11:17] ;) [11:17] sevenforall, ah [11:18] inashdeen_: you might be looking for http://manpages.ubuntu.com/manpages/lucid/man1/dpkg-sig.1.html [11:19] TK-999 : thanks, will look at it [11:19] inashdeen_: hm, wait, I found another one [11:19] Is it possible for a portable Ubuntu installation (installed on a flash drive) to double as a live CD?

[11:59] PrincessLuna: I'm lost then; pity that doesn't seem to work in Ubuntu. I personally never used Ubuntu i.c.w. touchscreens [12:00] ikonia: Meaning that I could just boot my Windows 8 partition from within Ubuntu using, say, Virtualbox? [12:00] sevenforall: not %100 sure on windows 8...but it's certainly worth a try [12:00] sevenforall: That will cause windows related problems, most likely. [12:00] sevenforall: certainly earlier windows versions, yes [12:01] sevenforall: I'm pretty sure the multitouch is working but applications aren't designed for it. The only thing that worked with a multi-touch gesture was re-sizing and rotating widgets in KDE. [12:01] Well, it's about the idea of doing something along those lines. Thanks [12:01] ikonia: sevenforall: Versions up to and including XP. Later version do not have hardware management profiles anymore. [12:01] bekks: sorry what ? [12:01] bekks: Any idea why not? [12:02] bekks: I'm booting Vista/Windows 7 machines direct from partitions in KVM now [12:02] no issues at all [12:02] ikonia: Yes, that possible. But still, Windows 7 does not have "hardware profiles" anymore, as known until XP. [12:02] an FYI, Precise comes with version 1.0.1 of Vagrant [12:02] bekks: I didn't say anything about hardware profiles, so I'm not sure why you are referencing them ?

[12:07] Guest87752: if you're using ubuntu sure [12:07] i'm thinking th emechanism is not well explained [12:07] i dont need it on th einstall disk, just the repos [12:08] serpenthelm: you won't get it in the repos [12:08] serpenthelm: sorry - am I not being clear [12:08] serpenthelm: the base version of a package that ubuntu ships with will not be updated [12:08] got it.. bios settings^^ [12:08] well at the moment i am using a ubuntu 12.04 desktop as an nfs server and a lubuntu netbook that i'm trying to connect the share on [12:09] but i keep getting permission errors [12:09] I always forget why I don't like Ubuntu 12.10, decide to just install it, then I remember why I didn't like it, and I end up installing 12.04 again [12:09] Now I'm at the point of installing 12.10 again [12:09] eh wait til 13.04 [12:09] Guest87752: make sure your UID's match on the client/server to make it easy [12:10] serpenthelm: correct, that package version will not get update [12:11] the uids appear to match [12:13] Guest87752: are you sure ? [12:13] Guest87752: when you mount the file systems and do an "ls -la" on them do they match up to your users [12:14] well the problem at the moment is that while attempting to mount the remote share, i get permission denied [12:14] Guest87752: ok, so it's share permissions rather than file system permisions [12:14] an id -u of the user returns the value "1000" on each machine [12:14] Guest87752: what is your share permissions set to [12:16] i may have the syntax wrong in my exports file- from the guide i read, it reads "/media/HPSimpleSave/Movies host(ro,sync,no_root_squash)" [12:16] now where it has "host", is that the server or the client that goes there? [12:17] Guest87752: that should be the client [12:18] does someone get an asus G75VX (G75VX-T4049H) working on ubuntu ? [12:18] I mean that it works but the video driver can't be loaded [12:19] ok, that's what i have at the moment- perhaps my mount syntax is incorrect [12:19] <52AAAPUHU> olivier___:did you already download the latest drivers ? [12:19] Ubuntu used to be known for its lack of viruses, but I was wondering how things are now. Is it still not necessary to use some sort of protection against threats like that? [12:20] i've tried mount -o soft,intr,rsize=8192,wsize=8192 server:/HPSimpleSave/Movies /media/movies [12:20] I did a apt-get install nvidia-current [12:20] but liveCD fail to load X too [12:20] <52AAAPUHU> olivier___:try going to add drivers system menu [12:20] sevenforall: strong passwords, firewall, system updates, NoScript [12:20] <52AAAPUHU> or maybe do a apt-get install fglrx [12:21] Perhaps migrate from Bash to another shell so as to neutralize some Bash trojans [12:21] ok testing fglrx [12:21] TK-999: But are these in a way necessary, or just to eliminate nearly all possibilities? [12:22] moving from bash is nonsense [12:22] NoScript is good to have, because web-based threats (session hijacking etc.) are universal, and it can also protect against malicious dropdowns. [12:23] olivier___: Which graphics adapter do you have? nvidia, ati, intel or something else? [12:23] nvidia gtx 670MX [12:23] TK-999: Is there a Chromium alternative for that? [12:23] olivier___: Then fglrx will not work. [12:23] sevenforall: I think it's called ScriptNot [12:23] well nothing seems to work :( [12:24] I don't need 3D acceleration [12:24] Aight [12:24] just X working [12:24] olivier___: fglrx is for a totally different make and model. [12:24] Strong passwords (http://go.eset.com/us/resources/white-papers/EsetWP-KeepingSecrets20090814.pdf) are a must [12:24] ah well, playing with network shares is a bit beyond me at this hour- thanks for your help ikonia [12:25] <52AAAPUHU> olivier___: when you do startx ? what error do you get ? [12:25] To sum up, everything in https://wiki.ubuntu.com/BasicSecurity [12:25] 52AAAPUHU: can't load module nvidia-current [12:25] or something like that [12:26] <52AAAPUHU> apt-get remove nvidia-current [12:26] no, now I have can't load FGLRX module … [12:26] <52AAAPUHU> remove it also ..

[12:32] <52AAAPUHU> olivier___: can you check if you installed GNOME enviroment ? [12:33] yes, it's a fresh ubuntu 12.10 install (from liveCD) [12:33] but liveCD can't load X too [12:33] how did you install fglrx on a live cd? [12:33] I guess my graphic card is not compatible [12:33] every time I boot and log in a get a "sorry ubuntu has experced an internal error, /usr/bin/scanimage", how the heck do I figure out what is going on to fix the problem. if I just run the program from the command line it works fine. don't understand what is causing the problem [12:34] now I have it installed on my computer [12:34] is there a way to just ignore it or something [12:34] the ati/radeon driver - on the cd gives basic support for ati cards. [12:34] loganrun: it could be an old apport report. you can disable those === tvoss is now known as tvoss|lunch [12:34] askubuntu.com has info on disabling apport [12:35] and asus don't provide any support of course … they send me ubuntu website url :) [12:35] asus dident make the video card. [12:35] well the chipset. ;) [12:37] on a new install - you can run the addational-drivers tool (last tab in the software sources tool) and it should install needed extra drivers for you. [12:37] olivier___: First, get rid of all fglrx drivers, you've installed. [12:38] dr_willis: no I can't, I don't have X running … [12:38] olivier___: Then, get rid of all nvidia drivers you installed. [12:38] olivier___: And last, install nvidia-experimental-310 [12:38] dr_willis, o.k. disabled apport, guess that will solve it since it seems like everything works anyway [12:38] olivier___: use jockey-text the [12:38] then [12:39] done … but still not working … [12:39] done what? [12:39] olivier___: That fast? I doubt it. [12:39] I've done it before you asked ;) [12:39] olivier___: That would have been less than 30s for doing it. [12:39] what is the card you have anyway? [12:39] nvidia gefore GTX 670MX [12:40] a mod probe nvidia tell me that it can't load the module [12:40] you did reboot after installing the drivers? [12:41] no rebooting now [12:41] I had to run with nomodeset in my grub line [12:41] olivier___: And you did uninstall all fglrx/radeon drivers, all nvidia drivers, and reinstalled 310? [12:41] maybe it's related ? === IboS_ is now known as IboS [12:41] yep [12:44] Libreoffice in Ubuntu's repository is only at v3.6 but the latest version is 4, why?

[17:56] jackshannon: Use a dynamic DNS service, like no-ip or dynDNS [17:57] hamid1990: Try the Tor IRC channel, ircs://irc.torproject.org#tor [17:57] ok thank you [17:57] tk-999 i am at a lost atm [17:59] TK-999: wait is there no way I can do this free?

To map a domain to your home network, you need a dynamic DNS service. [18:00] Or, purchase web hosting space. [18:00] jackshannon: dyndns is still free - u sign up and cancel and they let u keep one name [18:00] I didn't realise this, thank you [18:01] jpmh: So I pay then get my money back? [18:01] jpmh: Free service won't let you use your domain I think [18:01] jpmh: dyndns isn't free at all anymore... [18:01] jackshannon: no - u sign up for the free month [18:02] but if this is true, that would be awesome. My router doesn [18:02] KolakCC: it was yesterday [18:02] t support no-ip [18:02] therea are other free dynamic dns sites [18:02] Yeah, just Google the phrase [18:02] I think no-ip is still free, there are a couple of other free ones out there. [18:03] ok nice one thanks [18:03] I used to use no-ip. It was a perfectly good one. I sorta had to stop when I got my new router. [18:03] http://www.dnsdynamic.org/ [18:03] that look ok? [18:03] (C) 2011 - and we are in 2013 [18:04] does apt-get --print-uris work with upgrade? [18:04] jackshannon: The registrar where you registered your domain name should have a way to point to the DNS servers of whatever service you choose. Some will do the whole service - registration, DNS pointing, dynamic DNS - for one reasonable fee/ [18:04] hi i just downloaded the last version of tor but its not working what can i do? [18:04] I can't afford to pay any money at the moment unfortunately so I'll have to try and find a free one [18:04] Come to think of it... I guess most of the dyndns servers letyou have myhost.tehirdomain.tld free. [18:05] jackshannon: There is no free domain registration. [18:05] I have a domain with name cheap already [18:05] namecheap* [18:06] Ok, namecheap didn't do ddns last I checked, but they do let you manage the DNS server and point to a ddns. I'm not sure the ddns servers will do your domain for free though. [18:06] jackshannon: Does your IP address change a lot? [18:06] ok thank you for your help [18:07] not sure, how do I check? [18:07] just ifconfig regularly? [18:07] jackshannon: Find one of the sites that lists your ip and visit it regularly. Do you have a router that's on all the time? [18:07] I can mount it to [ / , /boot , /home , /tmp , /usr , /var , /srv , /opt , or /user/local | ] for a new installation of Ubuntu .. which one should I choose ?

[18:09] jhutchins_wk: router is on all the time yes [18:09] although I'm about to move back to uni so I'm not sure what my ip will be like on campus [18:09] jackshannon: If you have a decent US provider you might be able to just use the namecheap DNS servers and point them to your IP.

I stopped using no-ip, because I can't figure out how to get my router to forward incoming packets.

I would just create a new mountpoint off of / and mount it there - say /ubuntu [18:22] pendos, last I checked, the wallpaper changing was done via a control file. I'm unsure if there is a tool to generate that control file [18:22] pendos, it's just a text file, so you could do it by hand. It's not ideal though [18:23] jackshannon: Yes, pretty sure it's in ubuntu. [18:23] hmm it works [18:23] tgm4883: Thank you! I will look into it.

I updated my /etc/nsswitch.conf, removed "dns mdns4" from the "hosts:" line, and that got me further, but now I'm getting a "ldap no such attribute error". Is there an IRC channel specifically for ldap? [19:23] gvr01 have you "net join"ed the machine to the domain?

[19:25] i am not be able to install any software in my ubuntu 12.10.its just waiting for headers.. [19:25] When I was running Gentoo and wanted to clone an install from one machine to another with a different size drive... I'd rsync, and then reinstall/reconfigure GRUB. Is that all that needs to be done with Ubuntu, to do that? [19:26] "net" is not a valid option or command for domainjoin-cli [19:26] i am not be able to install any software in my ubuntu 12.10.its just waiting for headers.. [19:26] SuperLag: Sure, don't see why not. [19:26] theadmin i have a netbook/tablet hybrid and what i wanted to do was put it in a bash script to turn it off when i rotated my screen [19:26] gvr01: "net" is a standalone command. [19:26] oh [19:27] i am not be able to install any software in my ubuntu 12.10.its just waiting for headers..guys help me plz [19:27] so, "net join "? [19:27] gvr01: net help join, I'm not sure of the details [19:27] I'm interested in publishing an e-book on the Ubuntu Software Center. What sort of file would I upload? Would I have to create my own app with the ebook embedded in it, or could I distribute the file as an ebook format? [19:27] gvr01 in my experience it's been "net join -U username" [19:27] then you're prompted for a pw [19:27] (of that user you specified) [19:27] that user must be an active directory user [19:27] Phagus: I'm not sure of the details, but it's quite likely that just a PDF will be fine [19:28] I get "cannot join as standalone machine" [19:28] Phagus: just a guess... but I'm guessing PDF or EPUB would be the way to do it [19:28] theadmin, please contact me if u get any solution for CD/DVD dissapearence.. :/ [19:28] then i'm guessing you're config is incorrect [19:28] SuperLag: did you handle any partitions, filesystems and mountpoint changes, and fixed fstab? [19:28] so does anyone else know how to disable the onscreen keyboard from the terminal [19:28] jelly-home: I didn't make any FS type changes... but yeah, fstab was fixed too [19:28] SuperLag & theadmin : Thanks. How will the book be protected under DRM and such? [19:29] Phagus: good question. I'm pretty anti-DRM, so I don't study the mechanisms for putting it in place :) [19:29] Phagus: Ubuntu Software Center creates custom repositories for paid/closed-source software and stuff like that. [19:29] SuperLag: that sounds reasonable, then. update-grub and a grub-install /dev/whatevs would be what's left to do [19:31] theadmin: Thanks! I shall try this. [19:31] jelly-home: theadmin: I have a desktop at work that only supports up to 8GB of RAM. But my configuration is nigh perfect. I'm just trying to get the powers that be to give me a machine that supports >=16GB, and move stuff over. :) [19:32] SuperLag: and remember -- doing rsync instead of dd means free defrag! [19:32] jelly-home: I wasn't aware of that part [19:32] SuperLag: Why do you even need that much RAM? Servers or something? [19:32] theadmin: VMs, and Java [19:33] What sort of copy protection protocols does the Ubuntu Software Center use for ebooks and proprietary software? [19:33] Is there a way to install ruby-rmagick without installing the ruby package? [19:33] SuperLag: I see, but Minecraft is fine even with just 6GB of RAM. Heck, it was okay with 4. :P [19:34] theadmin: I'm running 1 VM on here, all the time. I have to stop other stuff when I want to run 2, which is what I really want to do. It makes testing stuff I do soooo much easier. [19:34] Phagus: As I said, custom repositories are created. For these repositories, a single-use password is stored in /etc/apt/auth.conf (or something), which only works for this specific machine, only with your Launchpad account. Every time you install software connected to your account on a new machine that process is repeated. [19:34] theadmin: if I don't shuffle stuff in and out, then it starts to swap [19:34] ner0x: I doubt you can install a Ruby app without Ruby [19:35] theadmin: Thanks! [19:36] I have a Macbook Pro with 16GB of RAM in it... but they recently started enforcing the "no personal laptops" policy. :/ [19:36] theadmin: I maintain my own version of ruby. [19:36] theadmin: Just looking for a bypass. [19:37] ner0x: Oh, well, you should make a package with that Ruby version I suppose. [19:37] So anyone know a way of disabling the onscreen keyboard from the terminal [19:37] a what policy?? [19:37] theadmin: I don't actually use a .deb for it. I use rvm for it. [19:37] Is there a bash patch which lets you access the stdout of the last program run? [19:38] gustav_: have you asked in #bash ? [19:38] ner0x: Oh... Beeeh. Well, you can get the source of the package using apt-get source and use that to install. [19:38] Pici: Will do. [19:39] theadmin: I guess that could work. [19:39] Is there a decent way to get Ubuntu to run X, and start an rdesktop instance right away at boot... I used to do this from inittab in the old days, but upstart seems to make it hard to do. [19:39] theadmin: Wanted to avoid that since I haven't used ImageMagick enough to be comfortable to compile. I'm sure the defaults are fairly intuitive. Thank you for your help. [19:40] u405tc: Hard to do? Please, "start on runlevel [2345]" and "exec /path/to/rdesktop/thingy". Two lines. [19:40] theadmin: When doing that X fails to start. I've even gone so far as to copy lightdm's upstart config. [19:41] where is the config file for "net join"? /etc/? [19:41] u405tc: Oh, durr, use "start on login-session-start" rather than runlevels. [19:42] theadmin: And then an auto-login, I'd assume? [19:42] u405tc: Maybe, I'm not familiar with rdesktop and whether it provides login facilities. [19:42] theadmin: Thanks! [19:43] u405tc i havent followed, but am familiar with rdesktop [19:43] If my kickstart says --clearpart all (in whatever correct format), it's just going to operate on the first drive it finds, right? Don't need to worry about other drives attached to the system being nuked? [19:43] u405tc what was the issue? [19:44] Basically, I want rdesktop to start, covering the whole display at boot... [19:44] No login via ubuntu... [19:44] u405tc rdesktop is used for remote windows machines [19:44] I'd also like rdesktop to run as a user.... [19:45] u405tc try rdesktop -u [user] [ip address] -f [19:45] Is it possible to change the desktop to gnome? [19:45] MonkeyDust - that part is all good... [19:45] u405tc: Eh, then just configure lightdm's autologin and use "Startup Applications" (or ~/.config/autostart/ stuff) to start it.

[19:53] I use an application that needs me to press ALT-F1 from time to time. But Ubuntu is currently intercepting this key, and using it to put focus on the "dash home" button. I've gone through everything in the "Keyboard" dialog, and ALT-F1 isn't listed. How can I prevent ALT-F1 from being intercepted? [19:53] MonkeyDust: Makes sense.

[20:43] Is there any channel dedicated to the new "mir" project? I am very interested in it [20:43] donsd: Mint isn't supported here. [20:44] I have not looked into Ubuntu One yet. [20:44] theadmin: everything in sources.list looks like stock [20:44] theadmin: Ok, thanks for the info, (I see "intelligently handles changing dependencies with new versions" in man apt-get). Good to know. [20:45] jiffe98: What about stuff under /etc/apt/sources.list.d/ ? [20:45] theadmin: empty [20:45] jiffe98: Hmmmmm... What Ubuntu release is this? [20:46] theadmin: running 12.04.1 [20:46] theadmin: I'm wondering why upgrade would not be replaced by the function of dist-upgrade ? [20:46] I'm pretty sure I used dist-upgrade to get to .01 also [20:46] so I'm not sure whats up now [20:46] jiffe98: Might be you're using a broken mirror -- try pointing to the main mirror, being us.archive.ubuntu.com and trying again. [20:47] usr13: Because Debian. [20:47] theadmin, usr13: Or vice-versa [20:47] theadmin: I see.... ok. [20:47] theadmin: thats what its pointed at right now [20:47] jiffe98: Gah!... I'm confused now. What are you trying to install? Let me try it here, I'm on the same release... [20:48] hi [20:48] put4 [20:48] Maybe jiffe98 just needs to do apt-get install -f ? [20:49] oh could be, jiffe98, try that^ [20:49] usr13: well apt-get dist-upgrade should at least upgrade me and its not [20:49] or --fix-missing? [20:49] usr13: -f and --fix-missing are the same thing :P [20:49] Oh, wait, -f is fix-broken [20:49] :/ [20:49] theadmin: Yes. Ok. Tnx agn [20:49] when i start my laptop i get a black screen, tried to install ati driver, don't know how to fix any ideas ? [20:50] ...I serously thing Ubuntu should have it's own package management system, APT is way too confusing. [20:50] ...back to the man file... [20:50] theadmin: the software store ;) [20:50] hello! I'm trying to set up an apt-cacher in my host machine, so that my vms don't have to go all the way out on the world to find packages that I already have. I have a 64bits system as host and my vms are all x86. [20:50] jrib: No, I mean like, completely on it's own -- get rid of Debian remains, lol [20:50] neither flag worked: php5-gd : Depends: php5-common (= 5.3.10-1ubuntu3.6) but 5.3.10-1ubuntu3.2 is to be installed [20:50] something is wrong on this system [20:50] I can't use the cacher to download git in the vm, apparently. Why is that? [20:51] hy.. i would like to have link for android phone grup.. i have HTC Wildfire.. and gathering info for root.. tnx [20:51] jiffe98: have you ever enabled repositories not meant for your ubuntu version, unofficial repositories, or installed .debs manually? [20:51] LuizAngioletti: Well, if your cacher caches 64-bit packages, 32-bit machines won't work... [20:51] Yea, -f = --fix-broken [20:51] jrib: Verified that already, none of those there. /me is entirely confused. [20:52] jrib: I'm sure I have in the past, not sure if I have on this machine [20:52] theadmin: but as I see in the archives, I have x86 packages. And all other packages (like vim and tmux) can be downloaded through the proxy. [20:52] The -m section is interesting.... [20:52] jiffe98: I missed the beginning so I may ask you to repeat some things... Run "sudo apt-get update". If your errors, persist, pastebin the output and the output for "apt-cache policy php5-common" [20:53] s/,// [20:55] jiffe98: sudo apt-get update |pastebinit #To show us.... [20:55] I have a virtual machine running ubuntu , but network is not starting again after reboot, [20:55] what can be the problem? [20:56] Is there a way to have my apt-cacher cache multi-platform packages? [20:56] Anyway, I'm off for now. jrib, good luck.

[21:16] macbook.. one that I'm not taking apart, that and it's my girlfriends [21:16] if it were mine I'd put one in in a heratbeat [21:16] heartbeat* [21:17] anyone in here run VMware Workstation in ubuntu? [21:17] i try right now Ubuntu Studio, the XFCE configuration is realy good. [21:17] is it possible to use the same in another ubuntu? [21:17] gobostone: Oh, well I dono about macbooks.... [21:17] I rolled a package that has a pre-install script that apt-get installs a few things and also modifies debconf-set-selections. I'm getting an error E: Could not get lock /var/lib/dpkg/lock - open (11: Resource temporarily unavailable) which makes sense. But I'm not sure how to accomplish what I'm doing and get around that. [21:18] jrib: yeah getting rid of that file I can now install and update [21:19] vicTROLLA: did u tryied sudo fuser -vki /var/lib/dpkg/lock [21:19] Hello, [21:19] I'm trying to find out if a file is being used, but with lsof did not work right, because with Gedit as opens a copy of the file, it does not show correctly the file open. With PS command I tried searching with grep with the file name I want to know, but it only displays if the right file is the first that opened the process. Any idea? [21:20] tozen, no because I'm holding the lock open by running dpkg -i packagename.deb which is in turn spawning a sub process that calls apt and debconf [21:20] tozen, the problem is my package but I'm not sure if theres a work around [21:20] anyone running VMware Workstation or VBox in Ubuntu? [21:20] SixtyFold, I run vbox and vmware player [21:20] SixtyFold ... both here === keith_ is now known as victor9098 === ubuntu-studio is now known as Nikolai234 [21:21] they work very well in ubuntu with ubuntu as the host then? [21:21] vicTROLLA: dont underatand u [21:21] and what kind of VMs are you guys running if you dont mind answering? [21:21] no probs here with both [21:21] SixtyFold, not vmware.. their last release was a huge problem [21:21] id be running other linux variants and of course windows 7/8 etc [21:21] I like vmware much better but it was drama getting it working [21:21] ahh [21:21] :S [21:22] gobostone: All I know is "Help with Broadcom bcm43xx can be found at https://help.ubuntu.com/community/WifiDocs/Driver/bcm43xx" [21:22] im running windows 7 as my host and all my linux in VMs but things are getting on my nerves and i was thinking about flipping it [21:22] so, that's why i ask essentially [21:22] tozen, I rolled a .deb package. It has a pre-install script that satisfies the dependancies by running 'apt-get install ...'. If I run dpkg -i custom-package.deb it's gonna open that lock which will generate an error when the pre-install tries to indirectly aquire a lock [21:23] !vbox | SixtyFold [21:23] SixtyFold: Virtualbox is a virtualizer for x86 and amd64 architectures. It's available in the package "virtualbox" in the !repositories, and you can download the Virtualbox Extension Pack for additional, non-Free functionality at http://virtualbox.org . Additional details can be found at https://help.ubuntu.com/community/VirtualBox [21:23] i know what it is, thank you though [21:23] linux-headers-3.8.0-13_3.8.0-13.22_all.deb [21:23] where oh where art tho linux-headers [21:23] ive run both vmware workstation and vbox extensively [21:23] Hey guys. What can I put for search domains? If Im setting up Ubuntu as dedicated server (testing only) [21:24] vicTROLLA: umm, why on earth would your pre-install script be calling apt-get to satisfy dependencies instead of stating the dependencies in the control file? [21:24] SixtyFold, KVM? [21:24] i used to run only vbox for a long time until i got a years of VMware workstation and fusion for free essentially b/c of school, then ive been using that as of late [21:24] And Im using 8.8.8.8 as DNS [21:24] KVM? [21:24] is it possible for a process to run in Ubuntu without showing it on the "top" command ? [21:24] what would i want a KVM for? [21:24] As in https://help.ubuntu.com/community/KVM [21:24] I have a program thats running in the server, Java program, but its not showing on top command [21:24] SixtyFold: "kvm is the preferred virtualization approach in Ubuntu. For more information see https://help.ubuntu.com/community/KVM" [21:25] ol [21:25] ohhh, never heard of it, i thought you meant a hardware KVM [21:25] jrib, mostly because it's a custom package that does a few things relevant to only me. And one of the dependencies is java. So I needed to script around interacting with the 'accept license' prompt [21:25] hahaha [21:25] ssdbfjdfd [21:25] gfgfggh [21:25] vicTROLLA: well don't do that [21:25] Anyone know what I can put for search domains? [21:26] I keep on getting "ping: unknown host: google.com" [21:26] txt23: The PC's own name. [21:26] jrib, any alternate suggestions? [21:26] txt23: host [21:26] ok thanks [21:26] thanks guys, ill check out the information, from what i gather so far, VMware is pretty troublesome in ubuntu, vbox is fine and KVM is preferred. [21:26] vicTROLLA: I told you: state your dependencies in the control file. That's why it's there [21:27] hey guys what is going on here help [21:27] jrib, I'm not sure how that helps me. the package is going to be deployed in mass and I can't sit there and accept the stupid java license every time [21:27] lab3, ask an ubuntu support question then [21:27] jrib, and how would I reference a dep that lives in a PPA? [21:28] usr13: I still got no response from ping. What can I do to check if something is wrong? [21:28] vicTROLLA: regarding the prompt from debconf, I don't see why your package should have ANY say on whether or not the prompt for the installation of a different package is displayed. That's something for the user to decide. You can avoid this prompt (as a user). Maybe #ubuntu-packaging or #ubuntu-motu can offer you more detailed guidance [21:29] txt23: whats wrong? and what u trying to do? [21:29] vicTROLLA: you state the package name and version requirements (if appropriate). It doesn't matter if the package comes from a ppa [21:29] perhaps I was unclear. This is not a public package. I would never release something to the community that does that [21:29] vicTROLLA: I don't see why that matters [21:29] txt23: route -n [21:30] vicTROLLA: you can search "debconf preseeds" about avoiding the java license agreement. But it's not something you should be doing in a package imo [21:31] jrib, I've avoided the license dialog by using debconf-set-selection but I still need to add the ppa and apt-get install the java installer. I need this in a package so I can add autoscaling functionality [21:32] h0wdy [21:32] txt23: route -n #Should show IP of router. ifconfig |grep "inet " #Should show n IP address in the same subnet of your router. grep nameserver #Should show the IP of your router, (or a valid nameserver elswhere). [21:33] jrib, I was really hoping to have a proprietary base.deb package that lays down the foundation of my stack from puppet to java etc. [21:33] vicTROLLA: if your package depends on java, then declare it as a dependency in the control file for your package [21:33] than the install will fail [21:34] in my filesystem the www is non existing what is z solution [21:35] txt23: Correction: grep nameserver /etc/resolv.conf #Should show the IP of your router, (or a valid nameserver elswhere). [21:35] vicTROLLA: if you need to add a repository, then you can do that [21:35] hello, is it possible to update Ubuntu Studio 13.04 Beta1 if Beta2 comes and the final etc..? [21:35] jrib, you mean external to the base.deb package? [21:36] Nikolai234: Of course. [21:36] vicTROLLA: yes [21:36] jrib I like the XFCE configuration it looks realy good, is it possible to use it under another ubuntu? [21:36] gre [21:36] I guess I could. I was so much more excited about just installing one package and being done with it. Makes my scale out scripts so much nicer [21:37] Nikolai234: the xfce packages are all available from the same ubuntu repositories that you have access to on any other ubuntu if that's what you are asking [21:37] hm no i did mean the theme or what it is. [21:37] vicTROLLA: well isn't part of the point of puppet that you can add sources easily? [21:37] Nikolai234: if you just like the gtk theme, you should be able to use that elsewhere; sure [21:38] jrib, the idea I've got is about using stock ubuntu images. So at that point in startup puppet is not even installed. [21:38] vicTROLLA: aren't you going to install puppet anyway? You can ask those packaging channels about advice, but I'm just offering you my views [21:38] jrib ok thank you very much, last question i have here a hard disk with an lvm2 pv partition with a keyring symbol i cant delete it with Gparted [21:39] Nikolai234: I don't know about that [21:39] so anyone have any issues upgradeing ( sudo apt-get install dist-upgrade ) when using an alt dist with full disk encryption?

[22:23] I notice this lisencing key feature on the site -- you just sell the lisencing key, and it's hooked up with the account's cloud? [22:23] Phagus: really? how paradoxical that you think there are many non-DRM DRM systems [22:24] Phagus, you might find better support regarding the developer portal in #ubuntu-app-devel [22:24] usr13: Thanks! Is there information about advertising on Ubuntu? [22:24] Phagus: "There is no native DRM framework within Ubuntu so there is no system-wide restrictions. We do not believe that DRM is a successful formula because it punishes law-abiding users and doesn't stop the minority of pirates. However, we do not limit individual developers from using their own rights management system." [22:24] Shall do :-) [22:24] AxonetBE, upstart? not sure [22:24] does anyone here know how to use irc, xdcc with ubuntu [22:24] thanks [22:25] quantumbeing, depends on your client, I guess... [22:25] quantumbeing, use xchat :) [22:25] Phagus: "You can distribute commercial software through the Application Developer programme where revenue is made through advertising or in-app purchases. Please review the Publishing policy for further information and contact the business team for assistance." [22:26] something strange is this also http://pastie.org/6553857 [22:27] usr13: Thanks. [22:27] hi. sorry for panicking. [22:27] but my documents folder is missing. [22:27] Phagus: " If your application is commercial then the Commercial Software Centre Publishing Policy applies: this policy handles any application which makes money whether through direct or indirect methods. Alternatively, your application will be covered by the Extension Repository policy." [22:28] xrq: It's actually less about DRM specifically that I'm concerned with, and more about securing royalties. But thanks. [22:29] Phagus: http://developer.ubuntu.com/publish/commercial-software-faqs/ [22:29] Phagus, what do you mean "security royalties"? [22:29] tgm4883: securing royalties* [22:30] Phagus, yes, I got that much as I can read. You set a price, and get 80% of that [22:31] pepee: this is the problem http://pastie.org/6553857, my runlevel is unknow, when do init 2 all the jobs starts [22:32] I just rebooted my PC to finish an Ubuntu configuration, and it's stuck at the splash [22:33] AxonetBE: In Ubuntu all runlevels except 0,1 and 6 are by default equal. Also keep in mind that Ubuntu now uses !Upstart instead of System V init so there is normally no /etc/inittab. [22:33] really, 80%? hmm looks like it's time to port my iphone apps to ubuntu ;) [22:33] AxonetBE, http://ubuntuforums.org/showthread.php?t=1484904 [22:33] usr13: but how to defintly set runlevel to 2? [22:33] AxonetBE: Why? [22:34] tgm4883: Correct. But if the liscened and proprietary app can be copied with ease (is it?), it can be a problem for many developers. [22:34] usr13: because otherwise when I reboot server the services are not starting [22:34] AxonetBE: What is the problem that you are trying to solve? [22:34] Anyone have an idea what could cause that? [22:34] Phagus, correct. Protecting that is up to the developer [22:34] AxonetBE: Which services are not starting? [22:35] usr13: all of them, when I run init 2, all the services start [22:35] AxonetBE, btw, how did you get in that mess, and what version of ubuntu are you using? [22:35] (boot services ) [22:35] quit [22:35] lol [22:35] pepee: don't know :) 12.04, it was an openvz conainer [22:35] AxonetBE, did you read that thread?

[23:12] acovrig, or chmod 744 [23:12] twist3d: 760 [23:12] sam1, backup data, format ext4, restore data [23:12] acovrig, does it run when u sudo? [23:13] pepee, when i do 'lshw -c video', "configuration: driver=radeon" [23:13] i guess i am using it , albeit the quantal version [23:14] twist3d: yes, I just realized .ssh was 600 instead of 700 [23:14] jyg, run apt-get -s install xserver-xorg-video-radeon (without sudo) and sent the output to pastebin [23:14] tgm4883: is there no other way?

[23:18] jyg, you removed xorg? [23:18] LuizAngioletti, it will normally only download compatable packages [23:19] twist3d: by that you mean compatible with what? The cacher host machine or the client? [23:19] LuizAngioletti, the cacher host machine [23:19] tgm4883: what does "edit partition type" from the app "disks" do? [23:19] sam1, google partition commander WARNING: ALWAYS BACKUP DATA [23:19] pepee, nope, running X right now [23:19] sam1, have you backed up yet? [23:20] no [23:20] (reverted the system from a backup) [23:20] sam1, i would backup. [23:20] twist3d: so... if 'git' has two packages, one x86 and another 64bits, if I try to download the 32bits for a client, it won't allow it? [23:20] Hey Guys! Do you know if ubuntu will participate (mentoring) any project in Google Summer of Code 2013? [23:20] pepee, just going to try this: http://wiki.cchtml.com/index.php/Ubuntu_Precise_Installation_Guide#Installing_Proprietary_Drivers_a.k.a._Catalyst.2Ffglrx [23:20] jyg, run dpkg -l | grep xserver-xorg-core [23:20] sam1, if you lost all the data on that partition, would you A) restore from backend, B) say, "oh well, that sucks but it wasn't that important", or C) Sob uncontrollably [23:21] pepee, command gives no output [23:21] LuizAngioletti, I do not believe it will download a non-compatable package for the distro of the cacher [23:21] or if i type properly ... :) [23:21] jyg, ah, I see... remove or change any repo that says quantal with precise [23:22] ii xserver-xorg-core-lts-quantal 2:1.13.0-0ubuntu6.1~preceise2 Xorg X server - core server [23:22] * twist3d rubs ubottu [23:22] I don't really have a disk big enough to back it up though [23:22] how can i get conky to take up the entire width of the screen? [23:23] sam1, A B or C though? [23:23] peppe, via synatpic? [23:23] gotta love a shaky insecure connection... [23:23] but it occupies only 1/4 of my disk, could I really loose data when resizing? [23:23] because I'd shrink the partition, create a ext4 partition and back it up there [23:23] Is there any way as a server to log rsync transactions (using -e ssh)? I know I can log sftp transactions, but I don't see rsync transactions. [23:24] not move it there, but create a copy [23:24] sam1, yes, you could really loose data [23:24] hey [23:24] how do i get root from terminal ? [23:24] Duality, su -i [23:24] without rebooting to recovery console :) [23:24] i am not in the group sudo [23:24] sudo -i Duality [23:25] then you are stuck [23:25] ;) [23:25] jyg, hmm, what repos are you using? [23:25] frig [23:25] what about sudo su -? [23:25] sam1, if it only uses 1/4 why not shrink the ntfs then make a 2nd partition ext4 copy the data then delete the ntfs and resize the ext4 [23:25] pepee, synaptic shows nohting from quantal [23:25] Duality: as root, run visudo and add yourself if you can get root access sometime. [23:25] the proper way to get a root shell in ubuntu is sudo -i normally... [23:25] vincentS: but that's exactly what I said I would do [23:25] but twist3d said I could lose data, still [23:25] well the thing is i accedently removed my user from any group [23:25] if you dont have any users with sudo access.. you need to correct thsat [23:26] from all groups [23:26] Duality: on second thought add yourself to the sudo or admin group. [23:26] via the recovery session. normally [23:26] Duality: as root, run user mod -a -G sudo [23:26] !fixroot [23:26] pepee, the quantal labeled packages are coming from precise-updates/* [23:27] wtf, gparted isn't installed by default? [23:27] I think theres a wiki guide on it.. but i cant recall its name [23:27] sam1, well there is always the risk of loosing data even when resizing [23:27] sam1, nope. [23:27] jyg, sorry, but I don't know what repos are you using, i'm not using precise... but I would reinstall/reconfigure every xrog-* package [23:27] blargh, ok thanks for trying [23:27] can i install software without sudo/root ?

[23:28] jyg, just one simple advice, reboot after (re)installing anything [23:28] sam1, i love clouds [23:28] does resizing take a long time? or is it moving? [23:28] Duality: you can compile from source. or find binary precompiled .tar.g's for some apps [23:30] sam1, depending on the disk size and data transfer rates and processor it could take years :P or seconds [23:30] udpflood 192.168.32.32 65000 65000 30 [23:30] Duality: I would recommend you boot into recovery mode, usermod -a -G sudo then reboot and you will have the ability to use sudo again (that should be the only time u need to use the recovery console) [23:30] decades... or milliseconds. ;) [23:31] bbl === ross`_ is now known as ross` [23:33] pepee, yep thanks [23:34] why does the radeon driver suck so much?
