[00:00] !available [00:00] ngf: probably, but if it's a windows-based game you'll have to use WINE [00:00] can need for speed world play on ubuntu? [00:00] how does wine work [00:00] ngf: look up on the WINE website if people have successfully used it to play that game [00:01] it emulates a windows environment to play games and other windows applications [00:01] wine app database or something [00:01] play on linux :D [00:01] AureliusR: wine: Wine is not an emulator [00:01] ngf, http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Wine_(software) [00:01] Duality: also, WINdows Emulator [00:02] !wine [00:02] WINE is a compatibility layer for running Windows programs on GNU/Linux - More information: https://help.ubuntu.com/community/Wine - Search the !AppDB for application compatibility ratings - Join #winehq for application help - See !virtualizers for running Windows (or another OS) inside Ubuntu [00:02] so wine just makes an artificial windows enviromaent [00:04] ngf: basically, yes. I find it works very well for games [00:05] however, remember that many games are able to be played without WINE if they have a linux version [00:05] i love when games have linux versions of them :) [00:06] O.K. because I am doing a Pc build and my budget dosent have enough to buy windows [00:08] i wouldn't even want to spend budget on windows ;) [00:08] how much HDD space does ubuntu take up? [00:08] ngf, depends on what you install [00:09] but typically not as much as windows ;) [00:09] lubuntu is a lighter version, and is quite a bit smaller, but of course has less features. [00:09] if you're building a new computer that has newer hardware, then regular ubuntu 12.10 will be fine [00:10] a new version of ubuntu will be released next month, ubuntu 13.04 [00:10] so keep an eye out for that as well [00:10] sooo would a 8gb USB stick be enough to transfer to my new build? === mpmc is now known as mpmc|Away [00:15] why can't I paste files from a volume to another volume?

[00:31] oh my gosh this channel seems to sleep [00:31] lol [00:32] it used to be crazy active [00:32] well that's not really helpful [00:32] ok well, i got a question: is there any possibility to synchronize my home directory + files of /opt, my configurations and update-alternatives-settings? [00:32] not surprising that a community channel is relatively quiet on a Friday evening.. folks are allowed to have lives outside of linux :) [00:33] yeae but that doesn't really help me right now, doesn't it? [00:35] veryhappy: Yes, there are chances. Just use one of the various tools, like rsync, cp, unison, etc. [00:36] bekks: hi bekks ;), well i want to sync all the stuff that i already have set up so i could save time [00:36] veryhappy: Synchronize with what? [00:37] bekks: sorry, i wanna sync my notebook with my other pc [00:37] veryhappy: Then just use one of the tools mentioned above. === pepee_ is now known as pepee [00:38] veryhappy: I'd suggest using unison.

[00:39] veryhappy: Hmmm. Since about mid 90s, I think. [00:40] then you must be at least 30 :) [00:40] veryhappy: This turns out to be social engineering now ;) [00:40] :D [00:40] social engineering nice term [00:41] any issues with unison? never heard of it before [00:42] well let's see [00:42] e.g. I have a notes file that I want to sync to two computers [00:43] bekks: yea, comes with a frontend [00:43] veryhappy: Didnt even know that :) [00:43] bekks: well now you know, right?

Did I miss some step? If not, where can I find these 3.7 headers (well at least the dvb headers)? (the link given in the thread is down). [00:54] Is there a way for admin to connect to audio stream of a user? [00:54] I used to use padevchooser but it's no longer avail for Ubuntu.

[00:55] I there some kind of file I can connect to? A manual way? [00:55] aaas installing a kernel outside the official repositorys is not supported. [00:55] OerHeks would you happen to know where kernel sources are? [00:55] well headers [00:56] !headers [00:56] To install the Linux (kernel) headers, open a terminal and: sudo apt-get install linux-headers-$(uname -r) To install headers for libraries, you need the accompanying -dev packages [00:56] what I do in ubuntu? [00:56] well link to the headers i mean [00:56] aaas if they are not available in the kernel ppa, i don't know [00:56] OerHeks ok thanks [00:56] would cp be faster than copy and paste in nautilus? [00:57] sam1 i doubt if any speed differance3s will be noticeable [00:57] sam1: prolly the same [00:57] aaas, usually " sudo apt-get install linux-headers-$(uname -r) " would pick them up [00:58] 2.3 MB/s, wtf [00:58] sam1: Process won't differ, it will only matter if you are faster at negotiating the keboard or the mouse ;) [00:58] OerHeks yeah since I'm dong it through the ppa (to fix a bug with my ethernet) they seem to be missing ...either a design change, or a bad package, not sure...maybe ill look around kernel.org [00:59] what's good with nautilus is that you get a loadbar, even though it doesn't seem accurate [01:01] lets say i have one window/app taking up more than half my screen on the right side. is there a way to drag a different window to the left edge and have it resize to the available area instead of the entire left half of the screen?

[01:50] !+1 [01:50] I have it auto log.. nothing from Unity on the desktop.. right click brings up the menu to change desktop and so on.. [01:51] well for starters disable the annoying auto login stuff [01:51] it just makes it harrder to trouble shoot. [01:51] I can tell the aspect ratio of the display is off, things are squished, I'm guessing it's running at 1024x768 [01:51] i think its a setting in the /etc/lightdm/lightdm.conf file [01:52] For the lack of desktop or auto-login? [01:52] auto login is just annoying [01:52] and makes trouble shooting harder [01:53] I don't think I can get to that, though I think I can start from an earlier kernel [01:54] you can use the console and alter the file.. or just do a 'service lightdm restart' but that will once again auto login.... i belive [01:54] testing with an earlier kernel is a good test also. if earlier kernels work.. thats a point to make note of. [01:55] also making a new user. and seeing if it works for them is another good test, if a newly made user works.. that points to a setting file issue with the problem user [01:55] * dr_willis needs to make a flow chart someday of trouble shooting steps [01:57] Ok, so this is just the first place I thought to come to an mention this. (Since Ubuntu totally rocks!!). So you know how linux folks are always complaining and talking about how they wish they could have netflix with linux? Well, I just found out about some kind of open source code for netflix. Maybe it could form the basis for a linux way to connect to it (other than with wine I mean). [01:57] You can see it mentioned here: http://www.engadget.com/2013/03/14/netflix-cloud-prize-offers-over-100-000-in-rewards/ [01:57] isnt netflix on a linux distro already? [01:57] And I think this: https://github.com/Netflix/Cloud-Prize <- is that open source code [01:58] ok [01:59] hello [01:59] SailorMoon: perhaps, but the only thing I've heard of is running the regular in wine (which can be a security concern) [01:59] Well, Netflix IS already onUbuntu [01:59] not officially, but it works fine, to my knowledge [01:59] Well, choose the previous kernel, but not much has changed. It's the right resolution, but there is no Unity [02:00] terminal comes up [02:00] well - netflix works.. 'fine' can be a relative term. ;) [02:01] on my setup, which is a few years old now, it works great, no lagging, buffers well, great quality -- what more would you want? [02:01] netflix on ubuntu works deccently well for me and the cartoons/anime i watch. ive heard it can have issues with HD video. It is running in a sort of complex wine/firefox/setup [02:01] Netflix is available in the USA, am i right ? [02:01] ive definatly seen a lot of reports of very laggy video and sound sync issues from people [02:02] OerHeks: i think it is expanding to the UK soon. [02:02] probably because their hardware couldn't support it anyway... I think that if they tested it in Windows they'd have similar problems [02:02] but its USA only for now.. perhaps in canada also? [02:02] its also available in Canada [02:02] hello [02:03] hello [02:04] Hmm.. wonder if the netflix in wine thing would actually get amazon prime working for me onubuntu.. [02:04] sudo apt get ubuntu is the BEST :) [02:05] you have a support question tyyhzh ? [02:05] tyyhzh what? [02:06] dr_willis, [02:06] hello [02:06] !!!

[02:14] GNOME is the default !desktop environment on Ubuntu up to 10.10 To install it from Kubuntu or Xubuntu, type « sudo apt-get install ubuntu-desktop » in a !terminal. [02:15] You might want to do that as root to prevent errors from directories you don't have access to though. [02:15] saw where that ubuntu-gnome variant is becomming an offical version - thats nifty. [02:15] thanks ubottu, [02:15] i Heared ubuntu, is shifting to gnome? [02:16] Neutron01_: Unity is allready using Gnome3 [02:16] don't know exactly, their is new release coming soon of gnome? [02:16] 3.6 of gnome is out now.. 3.8 is in the works.. [02:16] 13.04 is not using 3.8 but theres ppas for 3.8 [02:17] gnome is progressing along at a fairly steady rate these days it seems... [02:17] unity is using gnome3? means is it implimented above the gnome [02:17] !unity [02:17] Unity is the default UI since Ubuntu 11.04. Unity is a shell for GNOME. see http://unity.ubuntu.com. For a GNOME 2-like experience, see !notunity [02:18] unity is a plugin for compiz - and they use gnome3 underneeth [02:18] <Neutron01_> i think ubuntu will relase another distro with gnome 3.0 they wont stop using unity [02:18] the gnome-shell ubuntu variant is becoming an offically supported reelase from the blogs ive read.. so theres no need to stop unity. [02:19] hm, dats cool [02:19] and their roadmap/reports/plans defainatly dont show they plan on dropping unity [02:19] unity on pc, tablet, tv, and phone.... is ttheir goal it seems [02:20] they do seem to be planning on using QT/qml - so that could be read as them doing the opposite of what youve been saying.. ie: they may be dropping gnome. ;) [02:20] i go to omgubuntu.uk [02:21] i read that now there is ubuntu mobile also in market, i don't know whether its available in my country or not [02:21] Im stillnto clear on what qt/qml is.. but ive not had time to read much this last month [02:21] i want to buy a firefox and a ubuntu phone today [02:21] i pay 300 for it [02:21] Emm.. they dont exist as far as i know.. yet.

[02:23] dr_willis: qt_quick is another frameowkr [02:23] Thanks for help guys :) [02:23] aww i cant talk about how much i love ubuntu? [02:23] sort of a QT light/variant ? [02:23] i got a pentium 4 [02:24] cvs: you have an actual support question? if not. you can chit-chat in #ubuntu-offtopic [02:24] dr_willis: not sure. I've not done a lot of dev work in years. Been doing database for the last 10+ this time. [02:24] And most of the developers I've worked with have been java. [02:24] well besides how to get ubuntu on my WEbos phone [02:25] dataman: ;) i barely even touch computers as part of my real job. Just a hobby these days. so i dont keep up either. [02:25] Linux is definatly progressing along interesting lines of growth these days. [02:25] dr_willis: Especially in the data center (arm-based) and tablet. [02:26] Yep. got a Nexus7 here now. not tried ubuntu on it.. yet. [02:28] Would someone help me troubleshoot network connection? I'm running a minimal headless Ubuntu 12.10 and I don't know why the network connection isn't working... [02:28] unraised: Are you on the box now? [02:29] How do you minimize all windows on Ubuntu 12.04? [02:29] Yes. Ifconfig only shows lo, no eth0. [02:29] unraised: What does cat /etc/network/interfaces show? [02:29] mtadyshak: if you press and hold the super key - it shows a shortcut list. [02:29] What's a "super-key"? [02:30] auto lo \n iface lo inet loopback \n\n auto eth0 \n iface eth0 inet dhcp [02:30] mtadyshak: It might be the windows key on a windows keyboard. [02:30] the key that MS decided to force on people then stole the name and called it the windows key... [02:30] ;) [02:30] ;) [02:30] unraised: It appears it's defined. [02:30] unraised: Do you have a link light on the back of the system? [02:30] Hey! That's cool! [02:30] say NO to mono!!!!!!! [02:31] they REALLY need to steal the android 'tutorial overlay screen' feature from many android apps... [02:31] I'm trying to run GIMP on Ubuntu 12.10, but I'm getting the error message "gimp: symbol lookup error: gimp: undefined symbol: gtk_box_new". Any tips? [02:31] some of the first things unity should mention is the super key shortcut listing. and what the hud and dash are. [02:31] dr_willis: I agree! [02:31] dataman: Thanks. That's why this is confusing me. ifup eth0 says ifup: interface eth0 already configured [02:31] An "introduction" to the UI. [02:32] BlueProtoman, why use such OLD ubuntu? [02:32] even on android.. im finding im consttantly 'discovering' non-obvious jestures/features for apps... [02:32] update [02:32] unraised: If "ifconfig eth0" doesn't show it...it didn't get an IP address. [02:32] Or... [02:32] Some other problem. [02:32] often by accident... i sneezed.. it dialed my mom.. what did i swipe/long press/shake that time... [02:32] cvs: 12.10 is the latest stable version! [02:32] Hello, ubuntu! Something really interesting happen to me, I realized I can't install shit on my shared hosting server and I need some help [02:32] 13.04 doesn't come out until April. [02:32] You might also check "dmesg | grep eth" and see if anything funn comes out. [02:33] I run beta all the way [02:33] im in lubuntu also [02:33] 13.04 support is in #ubuntu+1 [02:33] dr_willis: That's not what I'm here for. [02:33] My server runs on ubuntu and I want to be able to extract multiple types of archives but like I said I can't install anything [02:33] and you definatly dont want to be using it for production systems at this time.. [02:33] dataman: It's actually running in qemu (system emulator). From the qemu monitor (debugger) the command "info network" shows the mac address and net=10.0.2.0 of the ethernet controller. So i believe the constitutes a "link light" from qemu's perspective. A normal live cd is able to establish an ip address. [02:34] is there a way to run something on shell script [02:34] I'm here because my install of GIMP is broken and, as usual, no one seems to know why. [02:34] danny__: i think the unp program is a python script. or was it perl.... you could find its source and just copy it to your users home/bin [02:34] BlueProtoman, remove and install again? [02:35] cvs: Been there, done that, didn't help. [02:35] sudo app purge [02:35] sudo app remove [02:35] BlueProtoman: try as another user.. remove your config from the equation [02:35] unraised: Ok. that's not what I was expecting. [02:35] i would check for that exact error message on askubuntu.com - there may be some one else thats mentioned it [02:35] BlueProtoman: your user config [02:35] cvs: err... your ubuntu skills seem very lacking... [02:35] It has a valid IP address on your network (10.x)? Or is that NAT'd? [02:36] testing as another user would be a good test to see if gimp does work for them.. that erorr message is a bit on the obscure side [02:36] dr_willis, does it have a website? [02:36] unraised: My system at home is running KVM/Qemu and on my HOST there is a network assigned. Could be something like virbr0/1 [02:37] dr_willis: Nope, not on AskUbuntu. [02:37] danny__: no idea. ive never really looked. [02:37] BlueProtoman: how is it as a different user? or with a fresh .config file? [02:37] danny__: you could look at the contents of the unp deb file [02:37] well there the ubuntu app store dr_willis remove button= DONE [02:37] ow do you setup a screen saver on Ubuntu 12.04? [02:37] dataman : I'm not quit sure what the qemu monitor is reporting, exactly. I think we can assume that the connection is established, however. I'm most likely missing some sort of configuration since this is a very minimal system. I built the rootfs with debootstrap. [02:37] holstein: Where is the .config file? Is it for GIMP, or for my entire account? [02:37] dr_willis, I can't use sudo or apt-get on my server so I don't know how to really get unp on my server [02:37] cvs: remove/reinstalling apps in linux/ubuntu is not the 'super fix' that is so common in windows.. [02:38] BlueProtoman: what i usually suggest, and did above, is tring as a newly created user.. then, you test gimp as that new user, and go from there.. if gimp works as new user, then the issue is in your users gimp config [02:38] dr_willis they have limited restrictions [02:38] unraised: What is the problem you're having? Can you ping out to your local network (i.e., the host it's on)? [02:38] danny__: find the unp deb package. and look in it.. and extract its contents to your home perhaps? [02:38] of course unp just uses the installed archiver tools... [02:39] i hate when i install virtualbox [02:39] always have problems with USB [02:39] please linux make it more easy [02:39] BlueProtoman: i have ~/.gimp2.6 ..thats what i would remove [02:39] unp is apaerently written in perl from what i just googled. [02:40] what extensions does tar support? [02:40] holstein: I logged in as a guest and tried GIMP. Same error. [02:40] I hate TARS they useless [02:40] BlueProtoman: what is the error? [02:40] the tar binary just passes the files along to whatever archiver tools out there. youd have to check man tar to see what it works with. oryou can setup pipes to untar other types of archives [02:40] dataman: No I can't ping to or from the headless box since the ethernet card does not have an ip address yet. I'm connecting to it over serial port. I would like to debug this issue at a low level. I've already determined that linux is recognizing the ethernet card. lspci shows that "Ethernet controller: Realtek Semiconductor RTL-8029(AS)". What would the next troubleshooting step be. Do I need to check if there is a driver for this [02:40] BlueProtoman: i would still try removing your config.. [02:41] Hmm. [02:41] BlueProtoman: did you add a PPA? [02:41] holstein: gimp: symbol lookup error: gimp: undefined symbol: gtk_box_new [02:41] holstein: Tried removing my config, no luck. [02:41] unraised: I think the issue might be related to the virutal network defined on the host. [02:41] As for a PPA? Yes, I think so. [02:41] With what build in commands for extracting archives does ubuntu come with? [02:42] The host should be able to ping it, and it should be able to ping the IP address of the host (the 10.0.x.x address on the host side) [02:42] BlueProtoman: if you did, remove the ppa version. you can go to synaptic and step down to the official ubuntu version [02:42] danny__: hmm.. personally i use 'mc' to view/extract the contents of .deb files in the past. [02:42] new linux user trying to replicate windows' win+p function to swtich monitor configs on the fly. I've got it sort-of working with randr and disper but would like to have it on universal hotkeys. Any ideas? [02:42] holstein: Oh, I thought you meant any PPA. I have other PPAs, but none for GIMP. [02:43] PPA= useless [02:43] BlueProtoman: for what? anything that would break gimp? [02:43] danny__: the default archiver tools i imagine would be gzip and a few others.. with your custom setup. we dont really know what it may include === dataman is now known as dataman[away] [02:43] cvs: please stop with your useless comments. [02:43] dr_willis, since I can't have utility archive manager like 7zip on my linux, I am trying to find all the build in commands that linux comes with. Do you know how I can find that? [02:43] holstein: Where can I access my list of PPAs in plain text? [02:43] http://www.ebay.com/itm/181102849076?ssPageName=STRK:MESELX:IT&_trksid=p3984.m1586.l2649 [02:43] cvs: you dont have to use them.. some folks like to use them to add functionality, or newer versions.. feel free to /join the OT channel and rant [02:44] How do you setup a screen saver on Ubuntu 12.04? [02:44] danny__: gzip is most likely the one you should be learning to use. perhaps b2zip [02:44] mtadyshak: check the menu for screensaver [02:46] hi [02:46] dataman: Thanks. I'm looking into it right now. I'll get back to you soon. [02:46] BlueProtoman: i would look at my sources list [02:47] danny__: if you just want an easy way to extract archives unp handles that.. but it still needs the proper archive tools installed. [02:47] holstein: And do what with it? [02:47] https://launchpad.net/ubuntu/+source/unp/2.0~pre7+nmu1 [02:47] Hello [02:47] 10.04 had System > Preferences > Screen saver. I don't see that on 12.04. App search finds nothing. [02:48] mtadyshak: the gnome devs like to cut down screensaver settings.. im not sure theres any in gnome3 at all these days [02:48] BlueProtoman: look for ppas in the sources plain text list.. getting back to gimp.. i would test different versions [02:48] !sources [02:48] The packages in Ubuntu are divided into several sections. More information at https://help.ubuntu.com/community/Repositories and http://www.ubuntu.com/project/about-ubuntu/components - See https://wiki.ubuntu.com/RecommendedSources for the recommended way to set up your repositories [02:49] if you really love screensavers - most people install the xscreensavers packages and remove the gnome screensaver stuff [02:49] dr_willis, I am on server through an ssh client and its acting like a bitch I cant run shell scripts or install anything. I just looked up unp and it is only available through yum or apt-get. Even if I download it and extract it on my ssh server I wouldn't have the permission to run a shell script. [02:49] mtadyshak: http://www.howtogeek.com/114027/how-to-add-screensavers-to-ubuntu-12.04/ is from "ubuntu 12.04 screensavers" search [02:49] danny__: i just posted a url to the source archive [02:50] danny__: its a perl script. If your server dosent let you do common stuff like run scripts.. theres not a lot we can do for you [02:50] Im not even sure HOW you would disable running of shell scripts.. [02:50] Thank-you! [02:50] danny__: what shell are you using? echo $SHELL === dataman[away] is now known as dataman [02:51] holstein: I have no idea what I'm doing. I have no idea what could have broken my GIMP. I am lost. Please help me. [02:51] dr_willis: /bin/bash [02:51] unraised: Sorry. Debugging fs problems at work..I'm back. Where are we at? [02:51] danny__: at least you are not using rbash ;) [02:51] BlueProtoman: try calling gimp from a terminal to read what error message you get. [02:52] dr_willis: I called up GoDaddy where my shared hosting is, and they claimed that they removed all commands that can cause problems to other shared servers [02:52] Kion: I already have. "gimp: symbol lookup error: gimp: undefined symbol: gtk_box_new" [02:52] dr_willis: I can run perl however if I have a perl command right?? [02:52] danny__: sounds like you need to switch companies.. if they cant be more specific then that. [02:52] BlueProtoman: Well.. what if you uninstall and then reinstall gimp? [02:53] Kion: I tried that too. [02:53] BlueProtoman: I dont really know what that is [02:53] danny__: if perl is installed you should be able to run perl scripts [02:53] dataman: I'm trying to determine if its a host network issue. My current method is to boot a live cd via qemu and see if the network works. You wouldn't happen to know the yaboot equivalent command to pass to the kernel "init=/bin/sh" do you? [02:53] Kion: Neither do I, or anyone else, and that's my problem! [02:53] dr_willis: I wouldn't blame them, they said I have to have dedicated server to run all this stuff [02:53] BlueProtoman: what operating system are you using? [02:53] unraised: nope. Unfortunately [02:53] danny__: err... Digital Ocean has no such silly limits... [02:53] unraised: The question is, what does the host have for networks? [02:53] dr_willis: :D [02:54] I NEED HELP [02:54] danny__: im not sure what your company is actually provideing you..... [02:54] BlueProtoman: keep it constructive please, and the volunteers can better assist you.. no one knows anything right now.. we are troubleshooting [02:54] BlueProtoman: what operating system are you using? [02:54] BlueProtoman: What version of gimp? I missed that. [02:54] dr_willis: I will take a look at unp and see if I can run the perl script [02:54] holstein: Ubuntu 12.10. [02:54] BlueProtoman: stock ubuntu 12.10? 32bit? what ppa's? [02:55] danny__: i dont see how they can be blocking bash scripts either.. since when bash starts up - it runs several scripts.. [02:55] i NEED HELP [02:55] dataman: 2.8.2 [02:55] danny__: then again . im not clear on what 'shared hosting;' is either... Digital Ocean gives me a nice little virtual server i can play with. [02:55] BlueProtoman: open a terminal and run "sudo apt-get update && sudo apt-get dist-upgrade" [02:55] sam1 and we need details. [02:55] holstein: 12.10 64-bit. Where can I get my list of PPAs in plain text so I can pastebin it? [02:55] !ask | sam1 and stop with the caps [02:55] sam1 and stop with the caps: Please don't ask to ask a question, simply ask the question (all on ONE line and in the channel, so that others can read and follow it easily). If anyone knows the answer they will most likely reply. :-) See also !patience [02:56] BlueProtoman: the sources list has a list of your sources.. its plain text [02:56] ppas are in /etc/apt/sources.list.d/ one ppa per set of files... [02:56] I left my room and when I came back, the screens had turned off (although I had disabled this feature before), when I tried to get out of it it was all black [02:56] now I'm inside tty1 [02:57] sam1: sudo reboot [02:57] and my X cursor is there [02:57] holstein: Right, but I don't plan on typing out every source the Ubuntu Software Center tells me I have. Where can I find the text file? [02:57] dataman: I'm typing in this IRC from host right now (internet is working). If you're familiar with qemu, I'm using user-mode networking, which means only user privileges (no TUN/TAP). I'm not really sure how qemu implements this, but hopefully the live cd test will confirm it's doing what I expect it's doing. [02:57] I've got 300 GB of files being copied [02:57] I can't do that right now [02:57] BlueProtoman ppas are in /etc/apt/sources.list.d/ one ppa per set of files... [02:57] unraised: But you should still have a vibr* network with an IP address. [02:57] If it's NAT you can't ping the VM, but from the VM you can ping the host. [02:57] dr_willis: Thank you. [02:57] sam1: monitor the system with top - see if its still copying... [02:58] that's what I'm doing [02:58] but this isn't the first time it happens [02:58] and I'd like to watch porn right now [02:58] before going to bed [02:58] !ot | sam1 [02:58] sam1: #ubuntu is the Ubuntu support channel, for all Ubuntu-related support questions. Please use #ubuntu-offtopic for other topics (though our !guidelines apply there too). Thanks! [02:58] I can't get Muon Update Manager to install any updates. It lists them but won't actually install them. Does anyone know what I should do to fix it? [02:59] unraised: Hmm. Might be a lxc-br* network too [02:59] i meen its all debian based so i asked [02:59] sam1: wait for your files to move, and sudo reboot and come and ask for specifics on setting your screensaver/locking and refrain from OT chat here.. thanks [02:59] I can't tell on my home system (and I'm at work right now - I can only see the exposed networks) [03:00] goodtime: if its not ubuntu, we cant do much about it. i would use "sudo apt-get update && sudo apt-get dist-upgrade" === wedgwood_away is now known as wedgwood [03:00] ok ty === wedgwood is now known as wedgwood_away [03:01] unraised: I can't tell. My KVM/Qemu system that I'm looking at is directly on my home network. I think the 10.x.x.x network for your VM means it's being NATd. [03:01] dataman: You might have found the root of the problem. ls /dev/virb* and ls /dev/lxc-br* returned nothing. [03:01] Ahh.. [03:01] Did you do a brctl add (network) [03:02] I think that's required. But I'm not sure. [03:02] dataman: Yes I believe user-mode networking is natted. [03:02] holstein: PPAs. http://pastebin.com/rYiZ808n [03:02] unraised: I might have found some help online for you. [03:02] BlueProtoman: i would try stepping down to 2.7 if its available and test [03:03] unraised: check en.wikibooks.org/wiki/QEMU/Networking [03:03] holstein: What if I try to compile from source? [03:03] !natty [03:03] Ubuntu 11.04 (Natty Narwhal) was the fourteenth release of Ubuntu. !End-Of-Life on 2012-10-28, see http://ubottu.com/y/natty for details. [03:03] BlueProtoman: you have some conflicting PPA's there though.. that could be breaking anything.. you have 11.04 sources in your 12.10 install [03:04] holstein: Not all of them are enabled, though. [03:04] dataman: Thanks, I've been referencing that. Currently using user-mode, but I might try the others to see if it works. [03:04] BlueProtoman: if you have one big one enabled, that could be breaking lots of things [03:04] unraised: Good luck. And make sure you document your config for next time. That's the step *I* forget some days. [03:05] BlueProtoman: what would i do? backup and reinstall.. likely you will have other things breaking soon [03:05] dr_willis: U are a fucking genius man! [03:05] dr_willis: It worked like a charmmmm! [03:05] danny__: what the language please [03:05] whatch* [03:05] ok sorry mate [03:05] I am just excited [03:05] danny__: no worries :) [03:06] dataman: Thanks for all the help. Update on the live cd: eth0 is now listed under ifconfig, but has no ip address. [03:06] howdy, all. anyone know if it's possible to setup fontconfig to turn on antialias on just ONE particular font? [03:06] i've found a buncha articles for enabling/disabling antialiasing across all fonts, but nothing on whether there are fontconfig selectors to do the same to just specific fonts, like Helvetica [03:06] dataman: On live cd, /etc/networking/interfaces is missing eth0 entry. Any way to manually connect eth0? [03:06] danny__: extacting arvhives is not all that hard. ;P [03:06] !ppa-purge | BlueProtoman or you can try purging ppas and clean up a bit [03:06] BlueProtoman or you can try purging ppas and clean up a bit: 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 [03:06] unraised: Yes, you can. However, it may be defined by udev. [03:07] holstein: None of the old Natty PPAs are enabled. [03:07] how come unmounting ipod crashes comp[iz? 0.o [03:07] BlueProtoman: were they? were they purged? are any files still in use? [03:07] unraised: You can manually add values to /etc/network/interfaces, but that means you have things "hardcoded" to that. [03:07] dr_willis the perl script works amazing on my shared hosting. I just type: perl unp fileLocation and it extracts it [03:07] sancris: are you sure nothing is accessing the ipod? [03:07] holstein: They were not enabled. They were left over from when I had 11.04. [03:07] danny__: it really shouldent be too hard to figure out the right command to extract it... [03:08] BlueProtoman: you have an issue that i see other distros reporting to be caused by dependency versions [03:08] dr_willis thanks again good night [03:08] dataman: Tried ifconfig eth0 up. Didn't do the trick. eth0 is assigned an ipv6 address for some reason. No ipv4. [03:08] danny__: make the perl script executable and put it in your users ~/bin directory and you can just do unp foo [03:08] BlueProtoman: did you downgrade gimp and test? [03:08] holstein: No, where can I get the older versions? [03:08] unraised: I think you have to do sudo ifconfig eth0 down; sudo ifconfig eth0 up [03:08] BUT [03:08] BlueProtoman: i usually just do it in synaptic, since its easy to see [03:09] the_hydra, my ipod 5th generation doesn't mount properly, then I right-clicked the icons in the launcher to unmount them and bang! compiz crashed [03:09] That may not work. Not sure how it's configured. You're kind of at the end of my knowledge. [03:09] unraised: You might try a different configuration, rather than user mode network. [03:10] dataman: Ok, thanks! I really appreciate your advice. I'll try to return the favor to someone else on here. See you around. [03:10] holstein: I don't see older versions of GIMP in Synaptic. [03:10] Pay it forward. Now back to my database issues! :D [03:11] Hi all, I'm trying to introduce a dependency for radeon so that the card can instead be bound to pciback for xen pci passthrough, as described here http://wiki.xen.org/wiki/Xen_PCI_Passthrough#Static_assignment_for_xen-pciback_module . I'm supposed to add a line (install radeon /sbin/modprobe pciback ; /sbin/modprobe --first-time --ignore-install radeon) to modprobe.conf, but there is none. Where can I append this instead? Ty [03:11] Guys, I've just bought a Samsung 550p5c-ad1 which comes with Win8, how can I resize it to keep a dual-boot?

[03:24] * the_hydra symbol lookup errors, sounds related to linking or missing libs [03:24] BlueProtoman: i would purge it, and try apt or aptitude [03:24] OerHeks: I never had the GIMP PPA.

[03:26] wonder if the gtk livs/packages from a ppa may be messing with gimp [03:26] Thanks willis, ubottu. I had gotten it installed, and it looked to be going well. Everytime I try to boot Ubuntu as my OS, though, windows gives me an error saying that is cannot properly operate because of a file. It then gives the file path for ubuntu on my computer and says that there are files missing causing it to be unable to boot. [03:26] dr_willis: likely too... [03:26] I get the impression windows doesn't like Ubuntu. [03:26] usr13: http://paste.ubuntu.com/5618323/ [03:26] torsaur: when you boot what? windows? or ubuntu? [03:26] dr_willis: it sounds like gimp looks for a function but it can't find it in the current gtk libs [03:26] BlueProtoman: When did this start happening? [03:26] torsaur: windows? You did a wubi install INSIDE windows? [03:27] When I attempt to boot ubuntu. [03:27] dr_willis or others. Would a kernel update render Unity unable to load, desktop at 1024x768. About all I can do it right-click on the desktop. Restarted and chose the previous kernel but no change. I'm thinking something went wrong with the update and the proprietary nvidia driver. [03:27] usr13: I just noticed it tonight. I don't use GIMP that often, so for all I know it could have happened earlier. [03:27] usr13: http://pastebin.com/XBiJQvhF [03:27] kbchurch: kernel update can mess with the video card drivers.. so yes it could [03:27] kbchurch: Can you get a terminal shell and uninstall/re-install the NVidia driver? [03:27] I did. It seemed to work fine up until that point. Please forgive my technologcal illiteracy [03:27] I can get to terminal.

[03:30] does wubi even work in windows 8? ;) [03:30] torsaur: if it came preloaded with Windows 8 then Wubi doesn't work with it === test_ is now known as boondoklife [03:30] BlueProtoman: You might join #gimp and see if anyting turns up there. Ask and see... [03:30] Is there any way to install? [03:31] torsaur: review the wubi download page. It warns about this (any windows booting with uefi is not supported): http://www.ubuntu.com/download/desktop/windows-installer [03:31] torsaur: normal way is to use a boot cd/dvd and do a normal install to its own partitions.. [03:31] usr13: I can't, cryogenics isn't mature enough. [03:31] torsaur: you have to do a normal dual boot with a 64-bit version of ubuntu [03:31] hi [03:31] twine the system over to the NIST repository [03:31] torsaur: id test by doing a 'normal' install to a flash drive.. from a live-cd setup flash drive..

Thanks [03:42] mtadyshak: In other words, sudo apt-get install openssh-server on the Ubuntu PC. [03:42] pmp6nl: why not using specific tool for that, say DBan? [03:43] the_hydra, seems easier since I wont have to reboot. Plus not sure how dban will handle bad sectors [03:43] pmp6nl: dd_rescue is for forensic and data recovery, so IMHO it's not suitable for erasing disk content [03:43] its an external hd [03:43] !fsck | pmp6nl [03:43] pmp6nl: fsck is the FileSystem ChecKer, which runs automatically when you boot if you didn't shutdown cleanly. Type "man fsck" for information on running it manually. The command "sudo touch /forcefsck && sudo shutdown -r now" will force a reboot and a filesystem check; "sudo touch /fastboot" will skip a filesystem check at next reboot [03:44] pmp6nl, low level format does not guarantee that bad sectors disappear [03:44] pmp6nl: I suggest to use shred instead [03:44] pmp6nl: but again, I am not sure it can stand against bad sectos [03:44] sectors [03:45] usr13, OerHeks - thanks, I tried to fix the sectors no good with fsck or running in windows.

[03:57] it auto installs afflicto [03:57] Windows just cannot connect. Make sure that the device allows incoming connections for file or printer sharing. Can that be enabled on a Ubuntu box? [03:57] dr_willis me again, the nvidia-settings works from terminal, seems to be okay [03:57] very true, but on a local home network behind a nat ssh is kind of overkill isnt it? if the keys are being a pita [03:57] nothing is to secure [03:57] goodtime: Ok.. where to I unzip it though? I suspect it's not /usr/share/themes [03:58] hmm [03:58] hang on [03:58] how do I clear nat table contents from router please?

[03:58] goodtime: ok thanks though! [03:59] doggles: yup [03:59] I set my router up so that all systems have static leases and user-friendly names. For instance, I have a web server that is named ws and just happens to have most of what I normally access within the same user's space as the PC I normally use, so I just go: ssh ws [03:59] the_hydra: cool, where would i find that? [04:00] ...or scp file-name ws:html/ [04:00] doggles: here is one place there are others http://releases.ubuntu.com/ [04:00] theres prob a torrent for it doggles [04:00] doggles: follow the download link in ubuntu.com, it will list various iso files ranging from previous past releases up to latest stable IIRC [04:00] Nope! Cannot ping either Ubuntu box from Windows 7 laptop. I have a wired router with DHCP enabled. It is connected upstream to my FIOS wireless router via its wired LAN outputs. Maybe I should turn DHCP off on the downstream wired router? [04:00] oh okay, i'll try that, thanks [04:00] doggles.... just curious.. why you would want to do that?? [04:00] kbchurch: yep. seen all sorts of varity of issues make unity not load properly. if a newly made user works. that would point to a problem with your other users settings.. [04:01] mtadyshak: likely, your Window box and your Ubuntu boxes somehow are in different subnets [04:01] mtadyshak: you really dont want several dhcp servers on the same lan i imagine [04:01] Dalia: kind of a long story. basically that particular kernel has a local priv escalation vulnerability that I want to try to exploit as a learning exercise [04:01] mtadyshak: check all of their IP addresses and the netmasks [04:01] dr_willis: can I make a new user from the terminal? [04:01] kbchurch: via the adduser command. yes. [04:01] Good idea thanks!

[04:35] its definately legit, what i am saying is that it is possible to carve out someones data over time [04:35] using profiling [04:35] not that you will be able to determine who that person is [04:35] hualet, slippery slope my friend... [04:35] only the information [04:36] They busted one guy Taseus b/c he used the same irc nick on all servers. some were not uncloaked. [04:36] howdy. Trying to install 12.04 on asus eee pc with unetbootin. it says something like 'your install medium is on sda1, you won't be able to change this but might be able to install. when i try and install, it says there is no root system and to fix it in partition. i do not know what this means. (noob) help? [04:36] GentSir, where did your friend live? [04:36] spason: the a live cd right? [04:36] this [04:37] no cd [04:37] teeny netbook [04:37] spason: ok live iso on a usb do you get the question? [04:37] spason, choose / for your root partition and then it will ask you to make a swap partition. Make swap about 2/10 the size of the hard drive [04:38] it was on usb, but now i took that out and it starts from hard drive...because when usb stick is in it only lets me try and install os onto the stick, not onto hard drive [04:38] saludos [04:38] sounds a bit like it's treating the install medium as sda [04:38] yeah, its just possible for someone on any darknet to have a ton of exit nodes and spy on traffic, compile all the packets and look for similarities and ssl strip the exit to find all sorts of stuff [04:38] i am to all this, bear with me [04:39] new to all this [04:39] spason: check how the usb and HD are read with sudo fdisk -l [04:39] not saying that gets anyone caught, im just saying its not "secure" [04:39] spason: on occasion the usb and the hd are reversed the usb seems to be showing as sda [04:39] anonymizing absolutely [04:40] ha, can't find terminal [04:40] ive seen systems switch sda to be whatever device they boot from wilee-nilee - but only a few. ;) [04:40] spason: ctrl-alt-t [04:40] hualet, it was from an uncle who lives in bejing [04:40] dr_willis: yeah haven't seen it myself for awhile. [04:40] i have a vague memory of eee pc's treating whatever device was first in the boot order in the bios as the primary drive [04:41] spason, if it doesn't work, try umount -l /isodevices [04:41] well, now the usb is out. [04:41] bbl [04:41] GentSir, that kind of info are mostly blocked my the goverment...

Anyone know where I might find drivers for an Intel GMA 3650 graphics chip? [04:45] ok. pasted. [04:45] you need to give the paste address [04:45] It's part of the Atom D2700 CPU. [04:45] spason: hit submit and ^^^^^ [04:46] CrownWheel: i think you need to find it straight to intel.com [04:46] hi [04:46] the_hydra, thanks. You know how to install a 3rd party video driver if I manage to track one down? [04:47] i've got some memory of booting an eee pc from usb and having the usb drive registering as /dev/sda and the internal drives being /dev/sdb and c. then once the stick was removed the thing rebooted with the internal drive as /dev/sda and it all got confused [04:47] who is? [04:47] mister: that sounds like what is happening. [04:48] hi [04:48] no body [04:48] einolla: this is support not chat [04:48] mister: that sounds like what is happening. AND finally, it says ubi partman failed with error 141 [04:49] hey guys, I want to stream a movie from ubuntu to my android phone(they are on the same network), what do you recommend? [04:49] hi [04:49] hi [04:50] hello [04:50] spason: honestly can't remember how I fixed it :( I think it might have been setting the bios boot options to only boot from the internal drives, then mashing F12 or whatever key to bring up the boot device selector and starting the USB install from there [04:50] !ot | einolla [04:50] einolla: #ubuntu is the Ubuntu support channel, for all Ubuntu-related support questions. Please use #ubuntu-offtopic for other topics (though our !guidelines apply there too). Thanks! [04:50] hi [04:51] http://pastebin.com/wTtLQARG [04:51] can i do bios settings from here, or do i have to reboot? [04:51] sianhulo: i think vlc can do such thing [04:52] hi [04:52] einolla: Do you have an ubuntu support question? [04:52] yes [04:52] the_hydra, yeah, but, the problem is the android side [04:52] RE: Intel GMA 3650. Not promising: http://www.mail-archive.com/discuss@blu.org/msg05571.html [04:52] einolla: just ask [04:52] einolla: then please ask it and stop repeating hi every 30 seconds [04:52] what [04:55] sianhulo: hmm [04:55] So, the next question (and, I guess this would be an upstream/mailing list question) is: Is anybody working on a GMA 3650 64-bit driver at all? For Ubuntu? [04:55] <-- disappointed. [04:55] So... anyone have any advice? [04:56] spason: you'd need to reboot to access the bios settings. But I don't have an eee pc anymore to give much more detail [04:56] Can you run a video driver in WINE? It sounds like an awful idea...but could I take a Win driver for the chipset and do that? [04:57] and what I've said is only a vague recollection [04:57] so, reboot and tell it to boot only from hard disk? [04:57] it has been booting from hard disk [04:57] did you look at my paste? i [04:57] paste bin? i don't know much about partitioning [04:59] any free wsywyg html editor ? [04:59] jjkkkk: yes, nv, bluefish [05:00] whatt's the best editor [05:00] jjkkkk: Kompozer [05:00] !best [05:00] Usually, there is no single "best" application to perform a given task. It's up to you to choose, depending on your preferences, features you require, and other factors. Do NOT take polls in the channel. If you insist on getting people's opinions, ask BestBot in #ubuntu-bots. [05:00] ok, thanks for the help. be back in a bit. [05:00] which one bluefish , kompozer or nv [05:01] jjkkkk: try it by yourself and see which one suits you [05:04] kick ass linux promo http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=njos57IJf-0 === thomas is now known as Guest41435 [05:05] hi I would like to resolve a laggy computer issue I have been having for a few days [05:05] am using xubuntu and the web browser firefox is using 100 percent cpu [05:06] lxle, please don't spam youtube urls, join #ubuntu-offtopic for that [05:06] or if i have xfce_4 task manager open they split the difference 50/50 , what can I do to resolve this? please thankyou [05:06] sorry man, i've been getting a kick out of that vid for days [05:06] lol [05:07] Guest41435: can you recall what did you do up to this laggy situation?

[05:14] #UBUNTUOFFTOPIC [05:14] no, i was given this computer. nothing i need on it. [05:14] i want windows off, ubuntu on. [05:15] seems simple enough. [05:15] delete all partitions then.

[05:15] i don't know about this stuff [05:15] django [05:15] #django [05:15] i wish there was a noob button [05:15] lol [05:15] noob button [05:15] you can use some other boot cd if the ubuntu installer doesn't provide a simple option [05:16] spason: then choose the use whole disc in the install, it will overwrite all of it. I think you have a reversed hd usb setup can you post that pastebin of sudo fdisk -l [05:16] like ultimate boot cd, or a seagate cd [05:16] Guest41435: something is fishy...... hopefully your system is not compromised by cracker [05:17] thanks for trying to help [05:17] Id just turn one off [05:17] actually my other computer is broken dont know why [05:17] maybe they took them both down [05:18] Guest41435: are you running custom xchat plug ins?

[05:19] so I have ubuntu server isntalled and it is working fine except for one issue [05:20] plz help! [05:20] I have an old crt monitor that I use when I need to do things locally to the server, but all of the text is very small [05:20] so sudo synaptic ufw would install it? [05:20] ill do that now think it will help? [05:20] how do you remove the entries were people come in and out? [05:20] spason: the hd is showing as the HD, there is a use the whole disc option in the install gui have you gotten there and is that where the error you get happens? [05:21] how can I make the text, or display resolution larger on a local server machine? [05:21] i'm there now, waiting for your advice. ;) [05:21] i have 3 partitions [05:21] spason: If you choose the whole disc option it should install over the whole HD [05:21] i don't see whole disk option === matthewvz is now known as Guest99450 [05:22] spason: been awile since I have installed, I forget what is there now what are your choices? [05:22] i mean, it doesn't say that but i have /dev/sda chosen as boot loader. 160gb [05:22] Guest41435: I usually use aptitude or apt-get: sudo apt-get install ufw [05:22] ok ill do thaqt [05:23] spason: did you choose the something other option? === Guest99450 is now known as matthewvz [05:23] synaptic is too slow with this much cpu being used [05:23] not an option. dev/sda, sda1 or sda2 [05:23] wonder if I can run winxp in Virtualbox on a OpenVZ VPS :D [05:24] servvs: IIRC it is related to display mode. The usual 80x25 mode can be picked by using "vga=791" in kernel parameter I think....recheck with google [05:24] can i do new partition table? [05:24] or is that scary? [05:24] ok ufw is already install , I said ufw in terminal the response given was not enough args [05:25] Guest41435: if you really need the graphical version, install gufw too [05:25] how to open ufw? [05:25] Guest41435: try "sudo ufw enable" [05:25] the_hydra: how would I change it? I have already changed it in the grub configurations but it didn't help [05:26] ufw don't support any forward rules. It good for localhost only [05:26] servvs: could you explain what you did earlier in regards to grub config?

[05:28] it was the same file you would edit to change whether or not to show the grub boot manager [05:28] jose106: what irc client are you using? [05:28] xchat [05:28] the ubuntu default [05:28] jose106: it is in the prefrences [05:30] servvs: /etc/defaul/grub then [05:30] also, I have some cron jobs set up, but for some reason I can't find the cron.d file on my system anymore [05:31] servvs: try to list them using crontab -l [05:31] servvs: sorry I meant /etc/default/grub then [05:31] hi [05:31] wilee-nilee, thanks [05:31] hi [05:31] jose106: no problem glad you found it. ;D [05:31] so if I change the GRUB_GFXMODE= and uncoment it will that work with my issues?

This is very basic stuff the install gui from the live desktop has a where to insall gui that has a install to the whole HD option, I have no idea where you are at without a picture. [05:44] search your memories [05:44] you may find an encoded message [05:45] somehow my terminal terminates :( [05:45] and nothing ist happening [05:45] one_, when ubuntu is about to sleep due to inactivity the screen dims and then shuts off? is there a way to dim it 2-3 times and then shut off === gcx336 is now known as gcx [05:46] http://imagebin.org/250470 [05:47] chunkyhead: you could edit the source code and recompile it, but ive found the source doesnt seem to compile into the binaries distributed [05:47] spason: the gui that leads to that one has the whole disc option, thanks that is helpful. [05:47] spason: close that window hit back and choose whole disc or whatever it says meaning that. === TonyL is now known as DarkG [05:48] my update manager is screwed up any help fixing that?

[05:52] this is a default form xubuntu [05:52] theres all types of connections to russian servers compiled into ubuntu at least this one [05:52] usr13, dude nothing happens, any way i can uninstall and reinstall without purging dependencies? [05:52] theres only xchat and gnome-xchat in the repos. theres other irc clients [05:52] someone advised installing some extras [05:53] your thoughts? [05:53] during the soviet times they practiced mkultra [05:53] spason: not sure why that is happening I have never seen the installer default to the custom default, there should be a gui that has several options resizing what is there, whole disc, or something else which leads you to the first pic you showed [05:53] mm mkultra? tell more [05:53] one_, it was only the next day i had realized that more than me it was the computer who was sleeping lol [05:54] my cpu is at 100% the_hydra suggested ufw ebable so i did [05:54] and install gufw [05:54] so what should i do?! [05:54] now cpu still at 100 what can i do next please thankyou guysglas [05:55] placebo: look in top/htop to see whats using the cpu [05:55] placebo open terminal, type ' top ' and see what is using 100% ? [05:55] placebo and how do you know it is using 100% ? [05:55] xfce_4 task manager tells me [05:55] anyone knows how to switch between OSs (vm) in the lenses there was something which came out i forgot [05:56] memory 10 swap 0 [05:56] hold on i need to get a drink of water [05:56] processes 136 [05:56] spason: you can install from the gui you were at but I would not myself, if the normal gui's are not showing you may have a bad download that will just keep causing problems. [05:56] task manager was at 70 [05:56] placebo: look at the first few lines of top or htop. [05:57] firefox goes to 100 then splits to 50 50 with task manager [05:57] partake of the water [05:57] placebo: and if you close firefox? [05:58] hey, what software is there to benchmark kubuntu? [05:58] well what they try and do is confidence game to a scientific level [05:58] i cant find anything everything has dead links [05:58] http://imagebin.org/250472 [05:58] new install download wily? [05:58] Or they are reviews.. wtf? [05:59] xfce panel and ufw xorg and top and xchat all changing places for first place on top [05:59] they use drugs aslo [05:59] ufw at 99 percent sometimes [05:59] all different combinations its meta [06:00] hi i downloaded the last version of tor browser but when i click on it it comes with an error massage\ [06:00] but these jackasses use the somputer to calculate it [06:00] Gotta love massages ;) [06:00] what settings might i try on gufw? [06:00] placebo: perhaps just disable all firewall rules? [06:01] i just enabled them because for the last three days firefox is too slow to use [06:01] and task manager shows 100 percent cpu usage [06:02] the_hydra suggested a cracker so I could enable firewall [06:02] the_hydra suggested a cracker so I could enable firewall? [06:02] placebo: your logic totally escapes me... [06:02] ok [06:02] so what could be wrong [06:02] how to fix [06:03] its all run from a computer you should extrapolate the outcome [06:03] spason: honestly I think it is a mater of you not being familiar with this install schema, you are at the custom install area, there should be an option before that to just use the whole disc, and yes a iso can download and be corrupted, it is rather dificult for me to really acertain what is really the problem here. [06:03] always see it coming before it comes [06:03] Ive no idea what stuff you have installed.. and you dont seem to be able to read top output very well. [06:03] i have just installed xubuntu [06:03] i dont see how gufw would be using a lot of cpu.. there is a % used colum in top. [06:03] it is a clean install couple weeks ago] [06:04] I agree [06:04] I dont see how firefox does either [06:04] someone suggested it was flash [06:04] what its going to come down to is several aspects working together at the same time to collapse the whole system [06:04] flash is a known cpu hog. and it can go berzerk at times [06:04] gonna have to be as one mind or one man [06:04] if i open firefox it will be at the top [06:05] the app using the most cpu will be at the top.. if its 5% or 50% - its all relative to what the other apps are using [06:05] the adversary would do something smilimlar [06:06] its just putting peices together [06:06] love of men will grow colder [06:06] it will be very cold [06:06] ok so i oppened firefox it is jumping around first and second place only thing is one is 70 and the other is 80 at the same time how is that possible? [06:06] cold outside [06:06] thats more than 100? [06:07] Anyone know how to reinstate a missing copy dialog in Unity? "Show Copy Dialog" is not working. [06:07] so what it comes down too is warmim it it [06:07] how can i get mogrify to actually apply a -colors to a PNG image, currently no matter what it ignores the amount i give it and outputs 256 for png8 [06:07] placebo: htop is easier to read then top i find.. [06:07] ok ill try it [06:08] is ther a reason that 0 swap is used [06:08] I have 2498556 [06:08] but none used [06:08] this is the map [06:08] hi i downloaded the last version of tor browser but when i click on it it comes with an error massage\ [06:08] dpkg --configure -a fails too [06:08] and at several moments it changes [06:08] placebo: its not needed.. so not used... [06:08] but the last outcome is understood [06:09] hamid2013: and we are supposed to guess this error message? [06:09] the finality [06:09] dues tues its finite nature [06:10] it says an unexpected error dr_willis [06:10] ist no help [06:10] but for those who are aware they see the blindness of other intents [06:10] hamid2013: run it from a terminal. look for error messages.. dont just double click it. [06:10] all that is seen is the willpoer [06:11] the lack of it [06:11] and the weakness of the adversarials [06:11] one_ take it to someplace else please.. like #foreveralone [06:12] because after the finite closure there is a forever not quite alone [06:12] anyone here uses playonlinux? I'm wondering if I should download the app or install from the software center [06:12] one_: hehe pseudo philosophy you momma must be proud. ;D [06:12] tucemiux, use the softwarecentre version, so you getupdates [06:12] tucemiux: its in the repos. may as well use that [06:12] dr_willis: i run it from there but my mozila doesnt work too its proxy is set === dguillermo is now known as j0d3 === j0d3 is now known as Guest56864 [06:13] I installed htop [06:13] OerHeks, i was wondering about the updates, thats true [06:13] anyone here uses planonlinux?

Now, in the window that was running minicom, when I type it keeps printing the prompt on the same line, i.e., it is like there is no char being generated. [06:14] bleh [06:15] somehow java certs aren't installable [06:15] pray for me [06:15] because I am for us [06:15] mtadyshak: try the 'reset' command in the terminal window [06:16] ok [06:16] now unlike chunkyhead i am going to power it all off [06:16] pull the plug [06:16] tucemiux: it can be here is a link that might help, I'm not a gamer and only run word 2010 on playon linux. http://www.unixmen.com/howto-install-call-of-duty-black-ops-in-linux-using-playonlinux/ [06:17] I've totally no clue [06:17] :( [06:18] wilee-nilee, thanks for the link, let me try it now and ill tell you the results [06:18] tucemiux: cool. :D [06:18] everythin I do produces a the dpkg process wast manually interupted, run 'dpkg --configure -a' [06:18] help :( [06:19] thoonai: are you using the terminal and if so pastebin erors and commands the whole shebang. === |_ocke2 is now known as |_ocke [06:20] i forgot [06:22] wilee-nilee: http://paste.ubuntu.com/5618504/ [06:22] wilee-nilee: searching for the english traslation [06:24] dr_willis: reset in term window did not help. Have to close the tab. [06:25] thoonai: this ubuntu why are you running that in root? [06:26] wilee-nilee: because its an virtual server and I am root [06:26] The notifications in ubuntu take too long to change. Anyway to speed it up? [06:27] anyone knows of a USB sound card with an optical output that works under ubuntu? [06:28] tucemiux, search the model of the sound card and see what's supported. [06:28] tucemiux: i always search the reviews at amazon.com to find devices people say work [06:28] thoonai: have you tried this command as well. apt-get -f install [06:29] #join [06:30] wilee-nilee: I try the -f things the last, :) http://paste.ubuntu.com/5618514/ this happens if try dpkg --configure -a [06:30] and then the terminal hangs [06:31] wilee-nilee: this happens if I try -f: http://paste.ubuntu.com/5618519/ [06:31] thoonai: this a debian server? [06:31] err.. dpkg --configure -a can take a long time to finish [06:31] wilee-nilee: no its ubuntu 12.04 2 LTS [06:32] dr_willis: how long? [06:32] wilee-nilee, it's installing! But black ops is going to take 22 minutes to install o. [06:32] o.O [06:32] thoonai: leave ot the java info when you run the -f coomand [06:32] and why does the terminal hangs and the process quits? [06:32] tucemiux: so long to wait for the fun lol. [06:33] thoonai depends on how many packages you got going.. its hanging.. because its running and hasent printed any output yet.. i imagne.. so its not hanging at all [06:33] thoonai run top in a 2nd shell and watch it perhaps? [06:33] dr_willis: nothing happens :( [06:33] 'thats a rather vague statement..... [06:34] there is no process running [06:34] top is not showing dpkg running? [06:34] does ps ax | grep dpkg show it? [06:34] hi [06:35] top isn't displaying it, ps aux | grep dpkg shows it [06:36] but java is running [06:36] does anybody know how to make an extrenal hdd a multiboot? im using windows but i want to make the multiboot with some linux distributions like ubuntu and other 2 [06:36] as top shows it [06:36] Acidous: the OS's will run prety slow. [06:37] Acidous: I don't do private. [06:38] Acidous: wilee-nilee is right, but you must select the bootable device every time in your bios or you hva to substitute your bootloader [06:38] wut? [06:38] (07:38:19 AM) mode (+o ubottu) by ChanServ [06:38] (07:38:20 AM) mode (-bo *!*@99-120-141-251.lightspeed.jcvlfl.sbcglobal.net ubottu) by ubottu [06:38] is this? [06:39] Acidous: I do not do private talk you will have to use the channel, a external usb HD will n ot transfer the data as fast as the internal HD, they will ran rather chunky. [06:39] dr_willis: It shouldnt take so long [06:39] :( [06:40] thoonai: the bot gained +o then removed a ban and took away +o (-bo) [06:40] IdleOne: the bot was banned? [06:40] i dont have a problem pushing the f9 (in my case) to select the bootable device but i tried using xboot, then checked using the QEMU and it loks ok.. [06:40] thoonai: no. [06:41] then i attempt to boot from the ext hdd and nothing happened...automatically send me to windows [06:41] thoonai: notice the space between the host that was banned and the nick ubottu. [06:41] Acidous: you have a OS installed on the HD>? [06:41] IdleOne: thanks ok now I see [06:42] my pc is running windows [06:42] back to my problem, somehow its not doing anythin :| [06:42] Acidous: you have top have a install on the hd or a bootloader in the mbr and something to bot to boot the HD [06:42] to* [06:42] ? [06:43] hi. shouldi prefer the 'ip addr/route' command over the 'route' command to build a quick temporary network? Which is the preferred command? [06:43] Acidous: If you want to boot the external it needs a operating sytem on it. [06:43] on the external hd? [06:43] Acidous: sure [06:44] Acidous: else you must use wubi or an vm [06:44] so i must install for example...ubuntu then make a partition to install kali linux? [06:44] but to run an os you must install it [06:44] what is the logout shortcut on ubuntu? [06:45] there is an icon - a man with an arrow [06:45] it's on your taskbar [06:46] Acidous: you would be better using a big flash usb for this a disc hard drive will be rather frustrating, or just set up the internal HD to multiboot. [06:46] dr_willis: how long should it take? [06:47] well i think the best option is the live cd's hehehe [06:47] hi. i'm receiving thos message: /tmp/(...):no space left on device. [06:48] but if i only install ubuntu on the ext hdd can work properly? [06:48] this is the output of df -H: overflow 1.1M 1.1M 0 100% /tmp [06:48] Acidous: Acidous depends on your definition of properly, I suggest you google transfer rates with internal and external drives. [06:50] Anubis: Did you make /tmp a separate partition or just do the default install? [06:51] transf rates are curious. looked at a walltime review for some ssd vs high end consumer hdd's recently.

I'm sorry, I haven't really followed, but if you give me the output of any errors I can probably help you [06:54] lunitik: it hangs and fails and does nothinh [06:54] -h+g [06:54] Anubis: I have no idea what the overflow filesystem is [06:54] thoonai: that isn't helpful at all [06:54] lunitik: http://paste.ubuntu.com/5618504/ [06:55] thoonai: what kinds of things are you attempting to get an error? (will look at paste now) [06:55] lunitik: did this and then I did this: http://paste.ubuntu.com/5618514/ [06:55] wilee-nilee, now its updating black ops, its another 6 minute wait! [06:55] lunitik: then after 10 minutes I closed the terminal on my side and started a new ssh session to my server [06:56] thoonai: can you please give me those again preceded by LANG=c so I have some clue what they say? [06:56] thoonai: so for instance LANG=c apt-get install whatever [06:57] thoonai: but add sudo to that, and if it breaks LANG= I'll be mad [06:57] lunitik: what the heck? [06:57] it worked O.O [06:57] lunitik: I <3 u === wtffn is now known as reZo [06:58] thoonai: I'm confused, I did nothing except try to get output in English [06:59] lunitik: It fixed the problem, but the output is germen though [06:59] german [06:59] * lunitik doesn't get it [06:59] * thoonai neither [06:59] thoonai: I don't have to understand if the issue is resolved now, though [07:00] lunitik: first dpkg said it was manually aborted [07:00] thoonai: if you run into any more issues, let me know [07:01] lunitik: thanks a lot [07:01] :) [07:01] hello people. I'm having trouble trying to stream a movie from vlc to my phone. My phone detects my ip as if it were straming but doesnt detect the streaming itself(so it sees my computer but not the wht's being streamed) [07:02] Hi I am having issues changing the owner trust of my key to my certificate, it says that change was successful but it doesnt actually change. Does anyone know how to fix this? [07:02] i've tried with some apps and all are the same(even the the oficial vlc app)and it seems that I can't see my streaming in MY pc, because when trying 192.168.x.x:8080 it just says 403 forbidden(though, for some reason i don't know i can see that i'm streaming something when entering 127.0.0.1) [07:02] sianhulo: you would probably have more luck in #videolan (/j #videolan) as that is rather specific [07:03] lunitik, thank you very much [07:03] sianhulo: maybe this can help: http://maketecheasier.com/install-vlc-shares-in-ubuntu-and-stream-videos-to-android/2011/02/25 [07:03] lotuspsychje, than you too [07:03] sianhulo: Check lotuspsychje's link, but still you should consult #videolan if it isn't resolved there [07:04] Amelia28: How do you know the change wasn't successful? [07:04] bc when I go back to the new is not highlighted [07:05] to the *menu [07:05] Amelia28: try logging out and back in or 'source /whatever/file/contains/the/config' to reload it [07:07] Amelia28: I would trust the output of the command, so this ensures your session is using the new config once it is set [07:07] @lunitik [07:07] got you [07:07] I will try this [07:08] steam somewhere downloaded 12Gigs for a crap game which is not working, now I wan't to delete it but I am not able to find out where is it? Can anyone please tell me that? [07:08] it is not in ~/.steam its only 9 KB folder [07:09] c2tarun: I have not actually ran steam here, so you will have to bare with me to find it: please throw ls -a from your home dir to paste.ubuntu.com [07:09] anyone running wine in ubuntu? [07:09] c2tarun: Hmm, given that, cd .config and see there? [07:09] Boston65: Do you have a more specific question? [07:10] lunitik, ls for home is here: http://paste.ubuntu.com/5618566/ [07:10] Boston65: I've tried a few programs in wine with varying success [07:10] I have wine installed, but how do I get an application into the /c:/ folder to run it? [07:10] c2tarun: askubuntu.com says it is stored in ~/.local/share/Steam [07:10] lunitik, for .config folder its here: http://paste.ubuntu.com/5618567/ but in that also I am not able to find out [07:11] lunitik, thanks a lot :) [07:11] Boston65: do you have an .msi or installer for the program? wine will put it in the right place [07:12] hmmf windows trolls are active here too [07:12] Boston65: you just run the installer via 'wine /path/to/installer' [07:12] jackingov: He isn't trolling, this is perfectly legit [07:13] I thought you ran them from the wine config [07:13] Boston65: no, you run them using wine [07:14] Boston65: wine-config configures wine, not applications [07:14] Boston65: There is playonlinux in the archive if you want a pretty interface to do this [07:14] ok will look for this installer. [07:16] Boston65: dmesg will tell you if the CD was mounted, and where... else it'll be what you downloaded probably [07:16] where is this archive with playon linux [07:16] !info playonlinux | Boston65 [07:16] Boston65: playonlinux (source: playonlinux): front-end for Wine. In component multiverse, is optional. Version 4.1.1-1 (quantal), package size 1436 kB, installed size 3507 kB [07:16] ugh, cannot even go through the tutorial bc the first file fe have to edit "doesn't exist" and video lan is pretty much dead. I'll have to keep googling [07:18] I am trying to log into the student website at myUnisa, my.unisa.ac.za. Each time I type in my login and password it tells me that I have typed in an invalid login/password. I have checked Caps lock, and typed the details in my word processor to see if one of my keys is faulty, but all seems fine. I am doing it through Firefox. If I boot into Windows and attempt to log in through Firefox there it works perfectly first time. A [07:18] ny idea as to what could possibly be wrong? [07:18] from my desktop in Ubuntu, how do I get there? [07:18] Boston65: I would just search in the dash for play [07:18] Should I prefer the 'ip addr','ip route' commands over the 'route' command to build a quick temporary network? Which is the preferred command? [07:19] how to build using cmake? [07:19] not there [07:19] mkdir build; cd build ; cmake ../; make all [07:19] Platz: ip() is preferred, but whatever works for you is fine [07:20] Boston65: And you installed it? [07:20] lunitik: thanks! [07:20] I can't change trust owner to my certificate, it says it was changed successfully but when I check again my certificate is not highlight, non of the options are highlighted actually....I have logged out, restarted, reinstalled..Anyone has any suggestions? [07:20] no I did not install playonlinux [07:21] Boston65: What version of Ubuntu? [07:21] I'm having trouble writing a file with dd to an SDHC card - after 1 GB it says device is full, even though it's clearly not. I've already tried with 4 different cards and I get the same problem with each. I'm really getting desperate now [07:21] 12.04 [07:21] susundberg what is the meaning of "make: *** No rule to make target `all'. Stop." [07:22] Boston65: sudo apt-get install playonlinux - but note it is only a frontend like codeweavers, if you know what the installer for this app is, wine thatinstaller will work fine [07:24] Ok I installed playonlinux [07:24] Boston65: that assumes the app actually works on wine... appdb.winehq.com to find out others experience with it. [07:26] Boston65: playonlinux is good because it provides a GUI for all this stuff, and also gives some custom wine configs per app to make them work, but if your app isn't there then it won't be much help [07:26] will try it. Thanks for the help [07:27] Boston65: playonlinux should now show up in the dash, but the way [07:27] by the way* [07:29] yes it was, I clicked on it, now it says refreshing, now it says there is an updated version of it 4.1.9 [07:29] can someone(with vlc installed)tell me if they have this file in your computer? sudo gedit /usr/share/vlc/lua/http/.hosts [07:30] anyone here uses playonlinux? Once you have a game installed, how do you start it? [07:30] change owner trust is kleopatra is not working [07:30] anyone know how to fix this? [07:31] I'm at the install menu now [07:32] when they say playonlinux, there not talking about games, they mean run programs? [07:33] it might be a good idea to check the playonlinux web site for tutorials on using it. [07:33] it can run games or apps. [07:33] you use the POL tool to run the games/apps installer i recall.. [07:33] Boston65: it should do games and apps, but transgaming isn't as open as codeweavers, so wine itself is more functional for regular apps [07:33] been ages since i last used it [07:33] OK thanks will do. [07:34] I cant even rember the wine history any more.. WineX became playonlinux dident it? [07:34] or am i showing my age again. ;P [07:34] dr_willis: not that I recall, playonlinux is just a GUI offering custom configs for various things in an open way [07:35] I want to run a windows program power post [07:35] dr_willis: winex is a closed version of wine using some proprietary thing for DirectX [07:35] Any shortcuts around 12.10 to upgrade from 12.04 to 13.04? [07:35] Boston65: download its installer then wine thatappsinstaller.exe and wine should try to instggall it. [07:35] wubino: you go LTS to LTS or go each release to next release till you get to a lts... [07:35] so no.. ;) [07:36] wubino: Not really, only LTS -> LTS and release -> release are supported as upgrade paths I think [07:36] if you want 13.04 - you may want to do a clean install.. [07:36] silly question.. i've setup a linode server and would like to be able to have ssh traffic available via a subdomain like tunnel.domain.com instead of xxx.xxx.xxx.xxx -p 22.. i realize this is not a "safe" thing to do.. this is just a little sandbox server for tinkering around with linux. at any rate, i've managed to get reverse proxying setup via nginx to have web traffic for different subdomains point to [07:36] since any bug reports would be best done from a clean install. [07:36] various sservices at different port numbers.. just didn't know if there was a way with ssh traffic [07:36] Boston65: There are many native news readers available for Ubuntu. [07:36] guys, i'm getting "** (gedit:20607): WARNING **: Could not connect to session bus" when trying to open gedit with sudo [07:37] dr_willis: You type too fast... from now on you have to type "s mississippi, l mississipi, o mississippi, w mississippi" [07:37] Jordan_U: newsgroups? should be several in the repos [07:37] sianhulo: don't do that [07:37] Is 12.04 getting better? I really dislike upgradeing to "the new release" as the bleeding edge hurts at some point but 13.04 sounds like a winner [07:37] im quick on my keyboard on my tablet. ;) [07:37] sianhulo: gksudo guiapp [07:37] yes I am running Sabnzbd, I want to post also. [07:37] lunitik, gksudo is giving no logs [07:38] wubino: yes, each point release brings some modern things while maintaining a stable core [07:38] sianhulo: that isn't very helpful [07:38] sianhulo: why can't you just use nano or vi? [07:38] * lunitik doesn't usually run GUI's as root [07:39] lunitik: thanks.... I guess I will stay the course at least until 13.04 is an official release [07:39] thanks everyone, great info. [07:39] sianhulo, that 'error: is not really an error, just a message. [07:39] wubino: cool, 12.04 won't get the Qt Unity, but other than that, most apps should get upgraded [07:39] Well, then I have no idea, because gedit is simply not starting when trying sudo or gksudo [07:40] and I'm not fond to non-gui editors [07:40] Boston65: There are many native tools which will allow you to post to usenet as well. [07:47] Hello, guys. I have a file called "myfile.mk" which if I am right is a makefile. When I run make "myfile.mk" it says: make: Nothing to be done for `linux.mk' which is not correct because the result should be an exe from a source file. I tried only with "make" but result is the same. Am I doind something wrong? === kostkon_ is now known as kostkon [07:48] piMatrix: Well, yes, question is what, which idk [07:48] piMatrix, "result should be an exe" ? === zz_Karbowiak is now known as Karbowiak [07:48] File extension is irrelevant really though [07:48] Unix defines MIME types, file names are just strings [07:49] well, just text, MIME and text are strings, blah [07:50] file myfile.mk will tell you what the OS makes of the file [07:50] OerHeks: I have a source file (.c file) and the makefile should compile the file and produce "exe". That's what I mean and this is why I think that "There is something that should be done". [07:51] lunitik: It says ASCII text [07:51] after the command "file myfile.mk" === nikolay is now known as jytfyg [07:52] http://mrbook.org/tutorials/make/ [07:52] says make -f makefilename [07:52] piMatrix: anyway, I would guess you need mingw32 since it is a exe for output you are looking for. [07:54] piMatrix: you are wanting to make a windows executable from this code? [07:54] I am using a laptop with hybrid Intel and Nvidia graphics cards and I am using bumblebee to manage them. My Nvidia card has 1 gig of video ram but i think it is only using 256mb of it. I ran "lspci -v -s 00:02.0" and got "Memory at e0000000 (64-bit, prefetchable) [size=256M]" Anyone have any idea wht i can do about this? [07:54] dr_willis: thank you for the link: my problem was that I have several make files in this directory. When I run make -f myfile.mk, it works. Thank you guys! [07:55] dreki: that won't be the full output of that commend, please give the rest [07:56] dreki: also, are you sure that is the video card and not the onboard? [07:56] Kernel driver in use: would help you differentiate [07:57] lunitik I shortened it for IRC's sake one second [07:57] dreki: paste.ubuntu.com [07:58] dreki: while you're at it, lspci output too, please [07:58] (it tells us enough to know what the video cards command would be, I'm pretty sure this is onboard) [07:59] I am not sure that is for the nvidia card, but when I "optirun" that graphics benchmark i was talking about, it runs on the nvidia card but says 256m vram [07:59] ok one sec === replicant is now known as zz_replicant [08:01] lunitik: http://paste.ubuntu.com/5618632/ [08:02] dreki: can we please see "lspci -v -s 01:00.0" now? [08:03] dreki: the other one is indeed the onboard, btw... i915 is intel graphics [08:05] dreki: Also, do you see why I'm using 01:00.0 ? [08:05] lunitik: i had to run optirun for that command to work so i would say that this is the nvidia card. http://paste.ubuntu.com/5618636/ [08:05] I had to create a new .hosts files because gedit wouldn't open with sudo and then replace the old with the new with sudo. how troublesome you are vlc. [08:06] yes i think i do understand why. because of "01:00.0 VGA compatible controller: NVIDIA Corporation GF108 [GeForce GT 540M] (rev ff)" [08:06] But now I can finaly.... just control the timing on the movie. I'm oficially mad [08:06] dreki: yup [08:07] dreki: This does say only 256mb still though, I'm not sure how much I trust optirun though, is this something from nvidia? [08:08] how can I figure out why my 2nd (identical) ATI card is not being recognised? [08:08] lspci picks it up [08:08] but Xorg.0.log does not show any connections [08:09] Well because my laptop uses hybrid video cards i have to use bumblebee to manage them because ubuntu cant (or in my case xubuntu at the moment). [08:10] lunitik: http://bumblebee-project.org/ [08:13] If there any precautions to take when stuffing more than one graphics card in an ubuntu box? [08:13] Like particular things that are shurely not to work? [08:14] NotSoGood: sometimes its hard even with one card. so good luck ;) [08:15] Can i run ATI and Nvidia cards in the same box? [08:17] NotSoGood: no that will not work [08:18] ati crossfire + nvidia sli? [08:18] no [08:18] just boring multi seat stuff [08:19] + intel hd isp? [08:19] s/isp/igp [08:19] are you just asking out of curiosity - or doyou actually have this setup? [08:20] Arthur_N: Why not? [08:21] ever heard about a thing called "drivers"? [08:21] I've been running multiseat with Xephyr for a while [08:21] several graphics drivers can't run at the same time [08:21] but be as its lacking good hardware accel [08:21] at the very least not from different manufacturers [08:21] Arthur_N: Ever heard of the fact of using multiple devices, even from different vendors? [08:22] graphics are different, trust me [08:22] I dont want them to be in the same X session [08:22] separate xconf files and instances would be fine [08:22] actually separate X instances is what i want [08:23] Running different X sessions on different X servers using different xorg.conf works perfectly- [08:23] Thats how multiseat setup actually do work. [08:23] I know that even SLI and Crossfire with 2 NVIDIA or two AMD cards are not likely to work well on Linux (since they don't make drivers good enough) [08:23] bekks, being on a single card currently i have to use Xephyr [08:24] NotSoGood: Yes. [08:24] Well i dont want to crossfire the sli [08:24] that would be absolute complete bonkers [08:24] lunitik: while looking around on the website for bumblebee i found out how to optirun nvidia-settings and in there it says i have a gig of vram so i dont know why that graphics benchmarking program and lspci were both saying otherwise but my guess would be that it is a bumblebee issue [08:24] bekks, so there is no problem running one X with Ati driver and another with Nvidia driver? [08:25] do you guys know why would dhclient3 disable ipv6 on the interface thats running on ? [08:25] lunitik i just hope that programs i run are not really limited to 256mb of ram [08:25] i am unable to configure a second ATI card - http://askubuntu.com/questions/240316/xubuntu-does-not-recognise-second-identical-ati-graphics-card [08:25] NotSoGood: There shouldnt be. [08:25] lunitik 256mb of vram i mean [08:25] can anyone see anything wrong with my xorg.conf etc? === mpmc|Away is now known as mpmc [08:27] hi [08:27] dreki: They shouldn't be, maybe the drivers are managing it and not letting the kernel in on it [08:28] hi, is there a possbility to change the ui of libre [08:28] inashdeen: umm, no [08:29] so sad, oh well, tq [08:29] inashdeen: do you mean something else, like language or something? [08:29] lunitik: more of the ui colour i guess [08:29] inashdeen: That will be obeying the theme, which can be changed [08:30] can we do a change specifically for libre? [08:30] inashdeen: libreoffice supports firefox personalities or whatever too [08:30] 4.0* [08:30] inashdeen: 4.0 isn't in any released version of Ubuntu though [08:31] how can I do that? by the way , is there a way to put a shortcut to app on the upper bar of dash? [08:31] my decyption programs have stopped working and I think is a change in my system causing but dont know what [08:31] I cant even create a key [08:31] Wish id thought about the need for acceleration when i bought gfx cards last time... then i'd just get a bunch of cheap ones.... last time i set up multiseat acceleration was not a big deal for desktop.... [08:32] is like something is blocking Kleopatra from working [08:32] inashdeen: will be able to do something like this: http://m.h-online.com/resize/zoom/imgs/43/9/6/9/6/6/8/libreoffice-personas-79a1b8189f65c7ee.png [08:32] Still not that much of a diff though [08:32] But now it seems even scrolling in the fking browser is depending on gpu acceleration.... what has the world come to [08:32] NotSoGood: can be turned off :/ [08:32] that is basically what I need? :) how to do it lunitik: [08:33] Lunar_Lamp, [08:33] NotSoGood: Why have the CPU do anything pertaining to graphics? [08:33] NotSoGood: tone down the language please, removing a letter is not acceptable [08:33] inashdeen: like I said, it isn't in a released Ubuntu, you need to find a PPA with libreoffice 4.0 if you absolutely can't do without === ericab is now known as ericab_away [08:34] NotSoGood: CPU is optimized for computation, GPU is optimized for displaying the result... you want the wrong tool to do the job, when the rest of the world understands what the right tool is. [08:35] lunitik: i am downloading one now though http://www.libreoffice.org/download/?nodetect [08:35] \m/ [08:35] inashdeen: is that meant for the ubuntu version you are using ? [08:35] lunitik: It isn't. I ran that graphics benchmarking while I had nvidia-settings open and i could see vram usage was around 700mb. So I guess you were correct, the drivers are managing it without letting the kernel in on it. [08:36] inashdeen: Could have just used this: https://launchpad.net/~libreoffice/+archive/libreoffice-prereleases but whatever [08:36] ikonia: it does says .deb, I assume its for ubuntu. [08:36] inashdeen: then you assume wrong [08:36] inashdeen: deb is a package format, nothing more [08:36] lunitik: thank you for helping me. [08:36] dreki: proprietary drivers are neat [08:36] ikonia: well, i will run it first, and see how it goes, if the installation is all well, i will tell ya :) [08:37] inashdeen: Please just do what my link says [08:37] inashdeen: yeah, why not use a proper version, better to install something random that may wreck your machine then try to fix it, instead of doing it right first time [08:38] inashdeen: sudo add-apt-repository ppa:libreoffice/libreoffice-prereleases && sudo apt-get update && sudo apt-get upgrade [08:38] hiii [08:38] lunitik: also can you explain why "optirun nvidia-settings -c :8" worked to pull up nvidia-settings and "optirun nvidia-settings" did not? Particularly, what did the :8 part of that command do? [08:38] anyone there??? [08:39] Sayed: more than 1600 people [08:39] dreki: I cannot, sorry [08:39] 1688 of us are actually watching every word you say sayed ;) [08:39] lunitik thanks anyway [08:40] JamieThTpwrm: eh, at most 20 are actually looking [08:40] just installing Ubantu 10.4 server could u pls tell me which file system i use after creating parttion???? pls help [08:40] just installing Ubantu 10.4 server could u pls tell me which file system i use after creating parttion???? pls help [08:40] Sayed: it's up to you, the default is ext4 [08:40] I don't even remember what ext4 was like back then [08:40] Sayed: you only have to type it once, the OS is called "ubuntu" [08:40] lunitik: it was fine [08:40] a linux advocate geek i liked once berated me a bit for suggesting cpu operations get offloaded onto graphics cards--wasn't someone seeing the future of supercomputing at the time apparently :) [08:40] someone can give latex chanel? [08:40] but after selecting ext 4 itz not continuing? [08:41] kgalahassa: we are not a yellow pages of channel [08:41] Sayed member to do swap..at leat 500mb [08:41] i m giving 250 gb [08:41] join #latex [08:41] ok thanks, is using ppa now. another thing is, is there a way to put a shortcut app on the upper bar of dash? [08:41] JamieThTpwrm: It isn't even the future of supercomputing... supercomputers already use GPU's for physics simulations as long as I've been alive [08:41] JamieThTpwrm: I'm 28 [08:41] Sayed: what tool are you using to partition it ? [08:42] Sayed: actually read through this document [08:42] i m using ubantu 10.4 server fresh installation disk [08:42] !install | Sayed [08:42] Sayed: Ubuntu can be installed in lots of ways. Please see https://help.ubuntu.com/community/Installation for documentation. Problems during install? See https://wiki.ubuntu.com/CommonProblemsInstall - Don't want to use a CD? See http://tinyurl.com/3exghs - See also !automate [08:42] Sayed: it's called "Ubuntu" - not "ubantu" [08:42] kk [08:43] Hi, how do I use github from command line like subversion? please help. google-search doesn't help. [08:43] ubantu fresh installation after giving partrion space 250 gb for installing not procedding??? [08:43] the_dark_knight: it's just "git" [08:43] lunitik, it was the future back then--which they simply didn't see. views of optimal uses for buses, processing units, and other components of architecture, sometimes evolve or otherwise change over time [08:43] Sayed: read the document ubottu just gave you about how to install [08:44] Sayed: it's probable you've not setup the partitions correctly [08:44] ikonia: hey thanks. I got it - http://www.vogella.com/articles/Git/article.html [08:44] Sayed: and for the last time - it's called "Ubuntu" - not "ubantu" [08:44] the_dark_knight: bravo [08:44] i had divided partion in 2 equal spaces 250 for C 250 for D [08:45] Sayed: there isn't a "C" and a "D" drive in ubuntu, thats why I'm telling you to read the install document [08:46] what difference ext3 and ext4 [08:46] kgalahassa: later version more features. [08:46] anyone ther?? [08:47] Sayed: yes, as you've been told [08:47] ikonia, which is later version? [08:48] kgalahassa: think about it, which one has the bigger number [08:48] kgalahassa: which came first 3 or 4 [08:48] test [08:49] ikonia,ok [08:50] after detacting disk tell me the exact method how to create partion plz help coz dis is my first time [08:50] when in doubt.. go with the defaults ;) [08:50] Sayed: READ the document you've been given [08:50] sayed #1 thing to do while reading.. would be make a backup in case the system breaks during the install [08:51] for windows.. i would be sure to have a dvd-recovery disk set made.. and backups of any imporntant user files [08:51] i am installing using CD Ubuntu 10.04 server edition not able to find details itz showing of USB help [08:51] Sayed: why are you using the server edition? [08:51] why 10.04 too [08:51] Sayed: if you want to play with the server.. id run it in virtualbox to leran how things work [08:52] I just got a vps, I can choose from several versions of ubuntu... is there any reason I'd not want the lastest 12.10... and instead would want 11.10? [08:52] I give in, this is pointless, Sayed if you won't listen, you will fail [08:52] coz we r deploying database software on it [08:52] Oh god if this is your first time and you've also got a windows partition on there, you may want to download a virtual machine software like VirtualBox and to some virtual installs and play with Unix before you stick it on a partition of your hDD [08:52] just sayin [08:52] Sayed: use the desktop version - it has a gui [08:52] c|oneman: i used 12.10 onmy DigitalOcean VPS ;) [08:52] hi. sometimes my ibus stops working. why it stops? how to call it back? ubuntu forums related thread: http://ubuntuforums.org/showthread.php?t=2116673 [08:52] c|oneman: you should choose between 12.04 and 12.10 depending on how new you want all the software [08:52] so theres no real reason to install old versions? I thought lots of linux people did this [08:53] can ubuntu's default windowmanager do transparent titlebars (but opaque title text) [08:53] c|oneman: 12.04 is LTS - long term support - could be good for servers [08:53] c|oneman: if you got some legacy app that requires an old version.. perhaps. [08:53] last time we installed but our main team member is not present itz on prority need to install server version [08:53] Sayed: use the desktop version - it has a gui [08:53] are new versions significantly more bloated? [08:53] c|oneman: no [08:53] could u provide me url to download [08:54] c|oneman: for a server install? no. [08:54] Sayed: wwww.ubuntu.com [08:54] I'm gonna install GUI as well/ [08:54] c|oneman: and how to youplan on using the gui? [08:54] Is it possible to remove all various session entries (desktop env. s) from the login section ? I dont use them but they are needed for various applications. I only want to remove the entries. [08:54] usually vps's come preinstalled [08:55] well, mostly I won't, it probably won't be started half the time. Does the GUI need to be running to run VirtualBox? [08:55] which version u reccomond [08:55] Sayed: 12.04 or 12.10 [08:55] hang on [08:55] Sayed: depending on how new your hardware is [08:55] we don't know his software requirements [08:55] c|oneman: virtualbox works on command line, but it requires a lot of reading of the manual [08:55] if he was told to install 10.04 - he made need 10.04 [08:55] i dont think he knows his requirements either [08:55] ;) [08:55] Sayed: speak to your support guy who installed the last one - and ask him [08:56] is it possible to deploy file server on desktop flavour??? [08:56] Sayed: install a service.. you got a server [08:56] yes [08:56] desktop or server edition.. dosent matter [08:56] Sayed, this is not recomemded as GUI apps tends to crash. [08:56] c|oneman: that is nonsense [08:56] c|oneman: sorry not you [08:56] Capprentice: that is utter nonsense [08:56] Sayed: running a file server on a desktop install will be fine [08:56] nah ! i have seen it. [08:57] I set up my xbmc video player box as a file server.. [08:57] kk [08:57] !fud [08:57] Please do not fall prey to, or spread FUD (fear, uncertainty, and doubt) - it is not welcome here! Please see http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Fear,_uncertainty_and_doubt [08:57] Capprentice: then you are wrong [08:57] itz not free available [08:58] Sayed: it is [08:58] Hey I dont know what you used but I have tried deploying MySQL and APACHE on my class lab. That completely crashed the whole system many times. Some time it kicked me off to the logon screen [08:58] Sayed: if you can't download the install file - I strongly suggest you just wait for the experienced guy [08:58] itz giving me payment option provide me exact link dear [08:59] Capprentice: 1.) you don't know - so you're just amking stuff up 2.) you don't know why - so you're just assuming 3.) you made a general statment "the gui crashes so a file system server won't work" that is just fantasy [08:59] Capprentice: your personal experience of your lab does not men that is fact for the world [08:59] Capprentice: the fact that you don't know what you used shows what a foolish general statement that is to make [08:59] yes thats true. I agree. That may be only me. [08:59] Sayed: you don't have to donate [08:59] kk i got it thankzz [08:59] Capprentice: With what you've shared, it is impossible to troubleshoot [09:00] Capprentice: also, apache and mysql are supposed to run in the background, they are not interactive applications and so would throw you to the terminal === zz_replicant is now known as replicant [09:01] what is the disavantage of having LTS, with the exception that new versions of LTS are released less frequently? === richard is now known as Guest56937 [09:02] thankzz for your help Ikonia :) [09:03] c|oneman: a bit older versions of some things, for example on 12.04 imagemagick is 8:6.6.9.7-5, on 13.04 it is 8:6.7.7.10-5 [09:03] Older software === snowrichard_ is now known as snowrichard [09:03] i like it because you don't have to upgrade every 6 months [09:04] can 12.04 LTS have older software than 11.10? [09:04] no [09:04] can the apt-get repos be different/older than 11.10? [09:05] 12.04 is newer than 11.10, theres nothing different about lts versions, except they're supported for 5 years [09:05] c|oneman: You should always use the things packaged for your release version [09:06] March 14 ubuntu 13.04 beta1 was released and I think this is why kleopatra stopped working for me..........Do you guys know if there is a way for rolling back to previous version?? Thanks in advance [09:06] The LTS releases do not exist outside of the flow of normal releases, they are just a subset of normal releases picked to have longer support, and between which upgrading is supported [09:06] will there be less things packaged for LTS? [09:06] Amelia28: Ubuntu implements nothing of the sort... BTRFS or LFS can do it, but Ubuntu has no tools to keep track of it [09:06] c|oneman: no [09:07] People , i get this error "Unable to lock the administration directory (/var/lib/dpkg/), is another process using it?" [09:07] c|oneman: LTS is a what the regular releases are ramping up for, 2 year super-cadence within the 6 month ordinary cadence to deliver things for consumers and business. [09:07] z3n0ps: wait like a minute and try again [09:07] i'm using 12.04 lts [09:08] snowrichard: cool [09:08] it worked better with my radeon video/hdmi sound problem in 12.10 [09:08] basically I just want the "best" / "easiest" version for a linux noob. I don't want to end up reading a tutorial and then halfway "this wont work if you have LTS" [09:08] z3n0ps: do you have 2 package managers open? [09:08] Does anyone know know if there is a way to roll back from ubuntu 13.04beta1 to previous version??? [09:08] http://mypals2.com [09:08] Amelia28: No, it is not possible. [09:08] *auronandace* , no [09:09] Amelia28: I just answered that question :/ [09:09] Amelia28: Also pre-release conversations generally happen in #ubuntu+1 rather than #ubuntu [09:09] my bad thanks to you both :) [09:09] auronandace: please leave him be. [09:09] c|oneman: that won't happen, at least until the next LTS comes out [09:09] z3n0ps: try again now [09:09] I'm getting a static IP Monday morning my cable internet provider said I can run server ok with it [09:09] at which point I can most likely easily upgrade to the next LTS version? [09:09] c|oneman: ues [09:09] yes [09:10] I'm starting web design consultant biz got 1 customer today, and another lady wants to develop game online site [09:10] z3n0ps: synaptic, software centre and apt-get in a terminal should not be run at the same time [09:10] auronandance : i have software center open [09:10] auronandace: please stop, there is nothing good he can do about it... if you really want him to find out what is using it, lsof /var/lib/dpkg/* will tell us, but it does us no good. === replicant is now known as zz_replicant [09:11] (actually lsof /var/lib/dpkg/lock ) [09:11] if you got a stale lock you can reboot and run just the 1 pkg man. [09:12] yay! i managed to get all four screens at least responding, although the 2 running off video card #2 have an X cursor and nothing on them (no wallpaper, WM bar etc) [09:12] snowrichard: or you can kill the process accessing the file [09:12] yeah right [09:12] is there some alternative for xmotd that integrates well with unity? [09:12] z3n0ps: and what are you trying to do? [09:12] well i need to install a php ide. bbl [09:14] if i had a separate x session started on a different graphics card, how could i verify that? is there a keyboard shortcut to bring up a terminal? [09:14] i wnt help on ubuntu 10.4 server edition coz wanted to install server version only only thing problem while creating partion [09:14] all i have right now is a black wallpaper and an X cursor [09:15] auronandace, I am installing Mysql client [09:15] is anyone there?? [09:15] z3n0ps: lsof /var/lib/dpkg/lock [09:15] z3n0ps: With something accessing that, you can't use something else related to packaging [09:16] z3n0ps: so apt-get will not work with Software Center running or vice versa [09:16] z3n0ps: close one to use the other [09:16] lunitik, that worked ! [09:16] z3n0ps: It would do [09:16] lunitik, thanks ! [09:16] lunitik: that is what i originally told him [09:16] z3n0ps: It is there to ensure apt doesn't get confused [09:17] hi, I am using ubuntu 12.04 and i frequently uses chat on by samsung, now that have a mobile app. is there a way for me to intergrate in ubuntu 12.04? or is it possible in 12.10? how cani do it?

[09:18] I have wifi 2 installed but ubuntu doesn't show it.I tried "lspci" , it showed me this " Network controller: Broadcom Corporation BCM43142 802.11b/g/n (rev 01)" [09:18] Sayed: It would seem unwise to install 10.04, when 12.04 is the current LTS [09:18] inashdeen: Chances are Empathy supports them, but how to find out?

[09:32] !repeat | Sayad [09:32] Sayad: Don't feel ignored and repeat your question quickly; if nobody knows your answer, nobody will answer you. While you wait, try searching https://help.ubuntu.com or http://ubuntuforums.org or http://askubuntu.com/ [09:32] lunitik: i guiess it make it easier for me becauise I am not used to linux that much yet [09:32] Sayed: you don't need to repeat yourself. you've been told how to install many times. either read the documentation, or wait for the expert to come in and install ubuntu for you [09:32] lunitik: It's Sayed. xD [09:32] Marek_: There aren't really many frontends to servers though, other than web-based which you can access from other systems [09:33] bentinata: umm, oops [09:33] !repeat | Sayed [09:33] Sayed: Don't feel ignored and repeat your question quickly; if nobody knows your answer, nobody will answer you. While you wait, try searching https://help.ubuntu.com or http://ubuntuforums.org or http://askubuntu.com/ [09:33] So, this guy named Sayed try to install ubuntu? [09:33] Can I help? [09:34] bentinata: He is basically wanting hand holding, just needs reassurance mostly, he basically knows what he's doing but isn't confident [09:34] pingvin: no, its the default and needed to let users mount windows-shares (see "man mount.cifs" the "Notes") [09:35] lunitik: oh, like all my friend that install ubuntu for first time. [09:35] llutz: ok ty [09:35] hey if guided partition is taking 250gb out of 500gb so i want to use remaining 250 gb to save my data how i will use n how to configure partion as a data storage of 250 gb @ lunitik [09:36] Sayed: Did you have data on your 500gb partition right now? [09:36] Sayed: if yes, then I suggest you to spare jsut 20gb for ubuntu. [09:37] Sayed: Personally, I would just partition with 50 GB for / and the rest for /home, can then put data storage on /home and use it for your personal files... Ubuntu only takes a bit under 6 gigs by itself fully installed [09:38] out of 500 gb i had provided 250 gb for suggested partition so wt abt data storing? [09:38] Sayed: What bentinata said would also be plenty, depending on if this is actually a dual boot (I figured it was because you're trying to divide the drive in two, figured to preserve something) [09:38] Sayed: You can format and mount the extra 250 GB later if you're not sure [09:39] i already given 250 gb in guided partition [09:39] installation is going on [09:39] Sayed: Whoaaa. Do you know what partition it is? [09:39] Sayed: That will be for your personal files and the system itself... right now it is doing nothing with half your drive, but you can divide it out and mount it where needed later [09:40] I prefer gparted. [09:40] So, does anyone here knows the google number for gmail verification? [09:40] but HDD of 500 gb rest it want take for home [09:41] I'm only getting 700kB/s from archive.ubuntu.com ... do I need to pick a closer server? [09:41] c|oneman: You don't need to, but that is pretty slow... do you really need to ask that though? [09:42] well, I didn't mean "need". Should I, would be more accurate [09:42] c|oneman: Yes, pick a mirror. The main server may have speed limits, actually, I'm not sure. [09:42] guys, could anyone here help me with SSH? [09:42] but HDD of 500 gb rest it want take for home [09:42] 700KB/s is slow now? [09:42] c|oneman: depends on the connection you have... I download from us.archive.ubuntu.com at closer to 8mb/s [09:43] Ben64: :P [09:43] Nahita start with a question [09:43] i remember when 7K/s was insanely fast [09:43] that was never insanely fast :P [09:43] Ben64: same, so long as it was over 5 kb, I was happy [09:44] Now I stop any dowload that goes below 1mb/s even if it's almost done [09:44] lol [09:44] MonkeyDust: hehe, i just saw my mistake... thnx :D [09:44] Nahita glad I could help :-) [09:45] Ben64: Haha. True. [09:45] say no to fake fiber [09:46] c|oneman: you can pick suggested server in the software sources. [09:47] if I install ubuntu-desktop will it autostart in desktop?

[10:47] I doubt you have it on your computer already [10:47] it needs to be downloaded, no? [10:48] sam1: i thought it would be in the deb, given the deb's description. the installer just says there's a newer firmware out there. i'd even go through the trouble to set up apache and edit my /etc/hosts so it tries "downloading" from localhost, but of course i can't install apache without an internet connection [10:48] guys, could anyone point me to a good manual on how to run a program as a non root [10:48] Nahita, what do oyu mean [10:49] MonkeyDust: Thank you:D [10:49] Nach0z, anything ran by user is only ran as root if you use the "sudo" command.

[11:08] okay will it also upgrade my ubuntu version ? [11:09] ishitva, you'd perform a "clean install" and replace 12.04 with 12.10 [11:09] okay [11:09] do I have to take a backup of my files ? [11:10] ishitva: Is there a particular reason you want to upgrade to 12.10? (Do you know about LTS?)

I made it all up myself [11:36] a miracle too [11:36] but it broke down as soon as I used echo [11:36] is there a way to make ubuntu not turn off my monitors when I'm IDLE, by emulating mouse/keyboard input for example? [11:37] Stdedos: at some point, you'd realize your oneliner is too long and make a script out of it... I think you may have passed that point [11:37] tell your screensaver not to start, sam-1 [11:37] bjoern_: but I did [11:37] it may be a powersaveing setting also [11:37] so help me get it clean ... I can utilise solo commands [11:37] restart your x-system? [11:37] sam1: Look into the power save options [11:37] I did [11:37] usr13: I changed it [11:38] but I need some logic so I can leave my system alone [11:38] so deal with it :D [11:38] Stdedos: You need some logic? [11:38] he does [11:38] ! [11:38] Like do this, then that etc ... [11:38] that's why I made it in this format [11:38] really? something is broken and I must "deal with it"? [11:38] It looked more familiar usr13 [11:39] it wouldn't be as bad if X wouldn't crash when I try to wake it up [11:39] Stdedos: Familiar to what? [11:39] just a joke, sam-1 [11:39] sounds like the PC is hibernate/suspending to me [11:39] to what my skills with linux are used to usr13 [11:39] so you checked ur power saving settings and ur screen saver settings? [11:39] dr_willis: ... which would be power save setting, right? [11:39] dr_willis: really? I don't have any swap though [11:40] sam1: You don't have swap? Why? [11:40] sam1: thats going to really goof up suspending [11:40] I checked both [11:40] they're set to not suspend/never turn off the monitors [11:40] fresh install of precise 12.04.2 and cheese, cheese crashes on startup.... any ideas (on same machine with lucid worked with no problem) [11:40] what dr_willis says [11:40] sam1: Maybe check monitor settings. [11:40] sam1: Is this a desktop or laptop? [11:41] usr13: desktop [11:41] Under brightness & lock is one setting,..,., Under Power is a 2nd setting. those are all ive turned off. [11:42] Can anyone help me with my WiFi appearing as unavailable after an update? My card uses rt2860 [11:42] I don't have swap because I have enough RAM and I don't suspend/sleep/whatever [11:42] zyngawow: laptop or desktop? [11:42] Any luck with sudo modprobe rt2860 ? [11:42] maybe you should sleep sometimes [11:42] Hmm.. the power setting box shows my battery in my mouse. ;) must be a new feature in 13.04 [11:43] zyngawow: iwconfig | pastebinit #And show us resulting URL. [11:43] otherwise its really bad for your healthiness [11:44] sam1: You should have swap. (I don't think you fully understand swap.)

[11:45] bjoern_: watch the language, and we don't need you to editorialize [11:45] is there a way to identify power hogs in ubuntu, something that tells me what process drains most battery like on android? [11:45] sam1: https://help.ubuntu.com/community/SwapFaq [11:45] desktop [11:45] just because of the f... word?

[11:47] usr13: any luck with my "command"? [11:47] bjoern_: no, but i'm also not filling the chat with irrelevant lines [11:48] you are [11:48] ;) [11:48] right now [11:49] Stdedos: You mean commands...

[11:49] usr13: not test them, they are ok [11:49] zyngawow: sudo wlan0 scan #What does that do? [11:49] usr13: as long as you can make out the logic, it is ok [11:49] Stdedos: No, they are not ok. [11:50] usr13: Commands one after another are 100% ok [11:50] I can't just issue them all at once in terminal usr13 [11:50] Stdedos: No, they are not ok, but I'd need to know more about your system to know if some of those commands would work.

[11:54] usr13: well the problem IS solved as long as I do not use a single echo and redirecting to file [11:54] my experience is much less problems with nvidia === fisted_ is now known as fisted [11:55] but i dont know about the real "power" as i dont have any programs which need much graphic power [11:55] sam1: How big is your Hard Drive?

[11:56] usr13, iwconfig: unknown command "scan" [11:56] Stdedos: make an /bin/sh or bash script instead. Use set -e near the beginning to make it bail out on any error. Add set -x while you're debugging it. [11:57] Sorry, gotta go. [11:57] even with caching I'm not using all of my RAM, so why bother? [11:57] jelly-home: I do not understand what are you talking about :) [11:57] zyngawow: what about sudo iw wlan0 scan ? [11:57] Stdedos: make a script out of your oneliner. [11:57] TK-999, command failed: Network is down (-100) [11:57] jelly-home: I do not know how to do that! [11:58] thanks for help [11:58] bye [11:58] zyngawow: ip link only lists your wlan0 interface as wifi, right? [11:59] TK-999, yes [11:59] Stdedos: great! Now's the right time to figure that out.

[12:00] jelly-home: But there is a little problem - I got a logic in there with && || ; commands [12:00] Stdedos: paste it as-is now. ";" isn't logic, it's just a separator and can be replaced with a new line. [12:01] n e body know if scanning is possible via ipp in ubuntu ? [12:01] logic :D [12:01] coraxx: what do you mean? [12:01] Stdedos: you can refactor && and || into if-then-else-fi later if you want [12:02] bjoern_: yes, && and || are boolean logic and control operators [12:02] hello. what is /home/user/.local/share/zeitgeist for?

[12:05] jelly-home: http://paste.ubuntu.com/5619056/ [12:05] coraxx: from what ive seen.. if you have 2 pcs with cups on both.. one is shareing a printer via cups (it has a share printer setting i recall) the other cups servers should see it. [12:07] dr_willis: yes cups sees the printer ...and installs it find ... however nt the scanning function :-( ...how to I get that feature as well ?

[12:08] jeveuxveux: This isn't an ubuntu question [12:08] Stdedos: http://paste.ubuntu.com/5619066/ [12:09] bjoern_: ads [12:09] TK-999 is a ubuntu question in a early stage.. after installing cyanogenmod my goal is to install ubuntu-touch.

But it is not clear to me who manages the protocol between the two PCs in regards to the other features the printer might have. When you install a HP printer today in Ubuntu...the scanner feature automatically follow (even when sane is not caled for) [12:10] coraxx: as far as i know - nothing does.. [12:10] ive never noticed a network scanning service on ubuntu [12:11] the fact its an all in one device means nothing other then it saves desk space [12:11] dr_willis: ...however, some of HPs All-in-one printers requires an extra plugin for the scanning feature to work. [12:11] jelly-home: Ok, but does this forces every command to run after one another IF the previous was successful, else create the failed file, and shutdown? [12:11] jeveuxveux: Did you check out #ubuntu-touch ? [12:12] jelly-home: *not regarding the output [12:12] dr_willis: yeah me neither. Maybe its time to develop a virtual HPLIP compatible server, so other ubuntu PC can attach printers via the regular HP-setup :-) [12:12] my printers are all stand alone networked devices these days [12:13] dr_willis: thanx again for taking the time with me. Its always a pleasure. take care and have a pleasent weekend :-D [12:13] just tell the printer to scan to a network folder, coraxx [12:14] and grab the scan from there? [12:16] bjoern_: thanx for your suggestion :-) ... however this current setup that I'm trying to establish, doesn't quite get solve by it. [12:16] Stdedos: nope, set -e will make the script exit if there's any failure before the if. You want to shutdown at the end without exception? You could add a trap doing that if any error happens. http://paste.ubuntu.com/5619082/ [12:16] ok, sorry [12:17] jelly-home: no redirection needed on trap* ? [12:17] Stdedos: sorry, trap has to come first before the command that might fail http://paste.ubuntu.com/5619086/ [12:18] any help on no sound from Ubuntu 12.04, volume slider is greyed out doesn't move... Thank you [12:18] I am new here and was looking for some guidance on a recommended vpn client that I will accept my pcf file [12:18] Stdedos: redirection would accomplish what?

[12:24] tk: thanks. brb [12:24] Stdedos: you could even use the exit status of grep at the same time you're redirecting, if you really want that output, so there's no need to run them twice. http://paste.ubuntu.com/5619097/ [12:24] First enter your username, then it prompts you for your password.

[12:51] spason: the load guy ;) [12:52] get the load guy over here then! [12:52] tk: if i did that, am I F'd? [12:52] JohnD_, I'd suggest you reinstall ubuntu and run with the defaults EXCEPT to put the /home in a dedicated, separate partition NOT under / put grub in the default sda/dev [12:52] spason: If that happened, you could just reinstall normal Ubuntu [12:52] from terminal? [12:53] from cd/dvd/usb [12:53] no cd [12:53] usb [12:53] or by praying [12:53] no usb [12:53] then praying [12:53] but wait [12:53] No USB? How did you install it then?

[12:54] i have usb, just no stick with ubuntu on it [12:54] because that's a whole 'nother story re: mac osx powerpc [12:54] you could create one [12:54] not difficult [12:54] tell me how [12:55] if you have time. :) [12:55] u r on mac osx right now? [12:55] no. but i have that too. [12:55] i have a powerbook i'm on running ubuntu 10.04 [12:55] whats your system right now? [12:55] and a mac mini that still has osx on it [12:55] ok [12:55] 10.04? [12:56] yeah, it's the one that was suggested works well with powerpc architecture [12:56] and does, so far. [12:56] is there a way to see if i installed the server instead of the one i want? [12:57] it says Wecome to Ubuntu 12.10 (GNU/Linux 3.5.0-25-generic i686) [12:57] im sorry, i really dont know about ppc [12:57] It's a nightmare!

[13:02] spason: http://askubuntu.com/questions/109430/commands-for-installing-unity-on-ubuntu-minimal-desktop [13:02] Spason if it doesnt work there mostly a problem with the correct graphic driver, the default is ubuntu-desktop [13:03] this is exciting!

[13:08] not saying it's impossible, but i don't think i did that. [13:08] Tlm: you can change then env variable PS1 [13:09] ahhh that's the once, thanks schnuffle [13:09] Spason check dmesg and /var/log/x11 to look for problems [13:09] well, it's installing the desktop now i think [13:09] lots of stuff!

My computer is otherwise silent most of the time but this is pretty noisy and annoying, any idea what's happening there or if there's something that can be done to stop it? [15:33] captine: you can unplug *all* other usb hardware.. dont use a hub.. check cat /proc/interrupts [15:34] I'm considering trying to do /tmp in ramdisk which might help but if there's a simpler solution I'd like to know [15:34] bryguy_: Flash is Flash, but your solution makes sense. [15:34] gaspe1: YourvCPU seems to have a GPU in it as well.

[15:36] Stdedos: Repeating often, especially if your message contains someone's nicknames, is a bad idea. [15:36] no went to a bunch of sites, no step 5 [15:36] ActionParsnip: I installed Steam and was able to play Counter Strike Source [15:36] boston65: https://help.ubuntu.com/community/SoundTroubleshootingProcedure [15:36] Mechanically while trying to figure out other things, sorry [15:36] how can I pass an argument to a script through terminal? [15:36] Stdedos: Can you elaborate? You can't change arguments of something already running. If you simply want to start a script with arguments, you can just use /path/to/script arg1 arg2 arg3... [15:37] ActionParsnip: I prefer to use free browsers so I've avoided chrome. I used to use seamonkey but I haven't tried that, don't know if it even exists any longer [15:37] ActionParsnip: I have Compiz installed, which works fine [15:37] boston65: all I searched for wad: ubuntu sound troubleshooting procedure. which are the exact words I said to you earlier [15:38] theadmin: I want to run a .sh file which will call for another .sh file, different each time [15:38] gaspe1: tried with xfce4?

[15:38] theadmin: how can I reffer to those arguments?* [15:38] Is anyone else having problems with massive packetloss to us.archive.ubuntu.com ? [15:38] Stdedos: "$1", "$2", ... [15:38] ActionParsnip: Why I would do that? [15:38] holstein, weird thing is the mic has a monitor so it acts as speakers if you put your headphones in it.... the audio out works perfectly.. audio in (which is the whole point of the mic), is not working [15:39] nice, thanks again ;) [15:39] apt-get chromium fails, do I need to install manually? [15:39] captine: i would check pavucontrol .. [15:39] stdedos: you do realize that the file extension tells you nothing of a file in linux... [15:39] Could someone assist me with an error I am receiving on Ubuntu? "bash: ./Graal: cannot execute binary file" [15:39] Stdedos: Apps from $0 to $infinity, $0 being the file name of the script and all the others being the actual arguments. [15:39] bryguy_: chromium isnt an option of apt-get [15:39] ActionParsnip: I do, but I am making the files, plus I sense .sh is widespread as script [15:39] Stdedos: Err, not apps, variables, sorry [15:40] bryguy_: sudo apt-get install chromium-browser [15:40] theadmin: and then, strings as arguments? [15:40] ActionParsnip: lol ok that makes sense i guess [15:40] stdedos: you can rename an image to .sh and the OS will still see an image file [15:40] Stdedos: Yeah. Well, bash doesn't really have datatypes. [15:41] ActionParsnip: lol didn't know that [15:41] Stdedos: http://mywiki.wooledge.org/BashGuide/Parameters [15:41] bryguy_: you could have also searched software centre [15:41] theadmin: can I echo ******** >> $document [15:41] ? [15:42] hello [15:42] theadmin: (stars as string) [15:42] stdedos: so how does saying its an "sh file" tell us anything....is my point [15:42] Stdedos: Sure. [15:42] ActionParsnip: I am praising on some common sense [15:42] stdedos: if you pass arguments to the script, you can perform logic on the value passed and make the script behave differently [15:43] Stdedos: long as $document is a defined variable. [15:43] ActionParsnip I tried "chromium" in bash and usually it tells you what package you want, the binary is called chromium-browser too, it's just a weird convention [15:43] Could someone assist me with an error I am receiving on Ubuntu? "bash: ./Graal: cannot execute binary file" [15:43] ActionParsnip: I just keep log of some timing on commands, and I want to automate the process, since I am getting the ropes on bash scripts [15:44] GraalUbuntu: what do you get from ls -l ./Graal [15:44] bryguy_: not really. chrome is a game :) [15:44] So I am having issues with XOrg that well I just can't spend the time to fix. I switch from opensource to AMD propietary and well it's to much work. I am thinking of just doing A) wipe out the / partition or B) remove all the PPA and try to chase the originals [15:45] graalUbuntu: what is the output of: file ./Graal; uname -a [15:47] stdedos: #bash may help too [15:47] ActionParsnip: what do you mean?

I mainly want to learn to use the Terminal effectivly [15:48] holstein, thanks, checked that. played music using the headphone out of the mic and used audacity. am able to pipe the monitor of the mic into audacity and record whatever the computer is outputting, however, there is nothing recorded when i change my recording input from the monitor of the mic to the actual mic...

Wuould it work if i enter the credendials in Modem Config?? [16:05] theadmin: pretty pass input box with input feedback is nice to have [16:05] ActionParsnip: No, it's gross and insecure [16:05] Rajvi: you'll need those credentials.. i would just try it.. dialup support is "on the way out" in most operating systems these days [16:05] That's just my opinion though, eh. [16:06] theadmin: maybe. but the user is having issue without the feedback so it makes sensee [16:06] theadmin: insecure is debatable [16:06] Hello, guys. I have the following problem: I create pseudo terminal and run the following code: pty[this is the pseudo terminal code] sh. In this way I run the shell but it echoes every command I type (for example if I type "ls" I receive "ls and all the directories". When I run with "-e" parameter it doesn't echo and works fine. But when I run "pty -e /bin/bash" it is the same situation. Any ideas? [16:07] ActionParsnip: People behind your back can tell the length of your password easily, allowing them to guess the password. If the length matches your name, the password might be your name.

Well let's not debate my odd paranoia. [16:09] theadmin: also using GUI apps needing root should use gksudo so are they insecure too.... [16:09] ActionParsnip: I'm usually cautious of GUI apps asking for root rights unless it's those found in the base Ubuntu install or gparted.

But i've made mistake on making the partition with them, This is the partition on gparted before i resize them (sequentially): ext4/sda(10 gb) | linux-swap/sda6(1.8 gb) | unallocated space(19 gb). [16:33] so i can move them because i can't move it when it's 'swapon', i need to move it to the right until the unallocated space are change plase, to the 'linux-swap' place, on side of the ext4 and no problem after that. I want to increase the ext4(sda5) with he unallocated space, But i've made a terrible mistake because i've joined the wrong sda, which is linux-swap/sda6 are joined with the unallocated partition that has around 19 gb free [16:34] Now the swap that has 1.85 before now turn to be 20 gb. :( i've tried to resize the swap again to 1.85, but it says error.

[17:50] how can I change the path of a partition? [17:50] !swap | lalondong [17:50] lalondong: swap is used to move unused programs and data out of main memory to make your system faster. It can also be used as extra memory if you don't have enough. See https://help.ubuntu.com/community/SwapFaq for more info [17:50] I want /dev/sda2 to be /dev/sda1 [17:50] lalondong: yes on the 2.79 unallocated space [17:50] sam1: why? you can usually refer to the uuid ..or use a mount point [17:51] because there is only one partition on the drive… it bugs me [17:51] Okey finished boss. What now? [17:51] who decides the path actually? [17:52] sam1: you can look at "sudo fdisk -l" ..i bet you'll find there is a recovery partition or something on there [17:52] Kruppt : it's finished. do i have to send the screenshoot?

[17:59] Kruppt: i created the partition on windows using Ease Partition. === aron is now known as Guest97544 [17:59] KornKage, depends [18:00] I think 12.10 is less stable than 12.04 [18:00] KornKage, 12.04 has 5 years support, best is a subjective.

[19:16] how can I run programs automatically when I log into ubuntu? I would like to run `xmodmap ~/.my-mappings` and `xflux -l 52` for example. I have tried adding these lines to the .xsession and .xinitrc files but it didn't work. Could someone help with this? Is this the right place to ask? [19:17] Kruppt : okey, check aborted. what now? [19:17] lalondong: umount /mnt/sda5 ....from root terminal [19:17] mk527: write the command in your .bashrc file located in your home folder [19:17] mk527: .bashrc is executed everytime you login with that user.. [19:17] Kruppt : http://paste.ubuntu.com/5620246/ [19:18] lalondong: then to make sure it is not mounted run df -Th and sda5 should not be [19:19] Kruppt : http://paste.ubuntu.com/5620250/ [19:19] lalondong: umount /mnt ....from root terminal and we're ok [19:21] Kruppt : i just have to type : umount /mnt <- from the root terminal right? or with that '. . . .' [19:21] lalondong: umount /mnt [19:21] Kruppt : OKey hold on [19:22] parnavk: thanks, I tried also that but when I open a new shell xflux is restarted which causes the screen to jump to a blue color before it kicks in again. As far as I understand it, this should be possible via one of .xsession or .xinitrc? [19:22] Kruppt : Okey, nothings happend, showing the root@ubuntu again [19:22] Kruppt : is that mean, we're okey now? [19:22] lalondong: run df -Th to be sure sda5 does not show in output [19:23] Kruppt : http://paste.ubuntu.com/5620267/ [19:23] hi folks need help here [19:23] apparently wrongly configured webmail is showing localhost instead of senders IP address in header section, is there any way to track real ip from header or log?

[19:24] mk527`: if you are using desktop environments, they don't use .xsession file at all as far as i know [19:25] Kruppt : now we're okey right? [19:25] lalondong: /sbin/e2fsck -v -p -f /dev/sda5 ....make sure all is typed right before executing in root shell [19:25] mk527`: and .xinitrc is used if you are using wrapper script like startx to start the X from the text mode [19:25] Hey guys. I've been unable to set up rules which allow me to access the internet using my VPN and only my VPN.

I'm using Ubuntu 12.10 [19:26] lalondong: yes run that in a root terminal [19:27] pranavk: okay, thanks anyway, I guess I could try a workaround that checks if the commands have previously been run in the same login session or something. [19:27] Kruppt : http://paste.ubuntu.com/5620278/ [19:27] mk527`: no no, there must be some replacement for .xsession if it is not used today. [19:28] Hi there, I have a .run file in my downloads and I can't seem to get it to install, I did try ( ~/Downloads/Savage2-2.1.0.8-linux-x64-installer.run ) but it does not seem to work, how do I install it?

I want to use the VPN exclusively. I do not want any unencrypted connections to leave my machine. [19:38] is it possible to have more than one Samba server running on the same workgroup on the same network? [19:38] jrtappers, I downloaded the iso then used the live usb creator on another ubuntu (also 12.10 x64) install [19:39] wilee-nilee: Thank you for your time [19:39] jrtappers, The VPN works well.

[19:41] how to install sqlmap on ubuntu 12.04? [19:41] xananax, could be the ISO [19:41] allnights, Go to thier website [19:41] allnights, download, unzip, run [19:41] whose website? [19:41] lalondong: same message? [19:41] oh yah think? [19:42] allnights, AMD's website [19:42] jrtappers, I am going to do the checksum on the iso, easier than installing, no? [19:42] What's the regular expression with sed to delete lines containing "(root) CMD ()" from a file? I've tried '/.*(root) CMD ().*/d' and '/(root) CMD ()/d' [19:42] Kruppt : hold on, i'll save the message. It's okey to save it on the File System right? [19:42] is this the IT Crowd room? [19:42] xananax, yes thats easiest [19:42] Kruppt ; i have no where else to save it. [19:42] How do I get a .run file to install ( ~/Downloads/Savage2-2.1.0.8-linux-x64-installer.run ) but it does not seem to work? [19:42] allnights, do you know the model of your graphics [19:42] I already did that that is obvious to be honest...I asked if anyone had done it because I was interested to know why they refuse to install [19:42] yes I do [19:43] redon hd5470m [19:43] oops radeon [19:43] allnights, I have installed them, they work well, im using them atm [19:43] I am bsc applied computing [19:43] but just not been on linux for 15 years [19:43] JR can you run Cat? [19:44] jrtappers, What do you mean by private IP? The one my ISP provides or the local IP on my network? I assume the former but I just want to be sure. [19:44] allnights, cat works [19:44] lalondong: ok gparted is choking on the partitioning scheme created via that windows partitioner you originally used. [19:44] brian_, Private = local = 192.168.*.* usually [19:44] allnights, cat is a command command, it works [19:44] jrtappers, Okay thanks. [19:44] If I run Cat Control Centre is states the drivers not installed, I have done this and had to install Ubuntu three times and every time neither driver works [19:44] I'm looking for a project like this for ubuntu http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=mN90FeMCqJ8 [19:44] jrtappers, md5sum matches [19:45] Kruppt : http://paste.ubuntu.com/5620325/ [19:45] xananax, got a windows PC available? [19:45] Catalyst Control Centre, JR. Run it on here and it STATES no AMD DRIVERS [19:45] jrtappers, yes, I think I can borrow one from a friend, why? [19:45] allnights, did you install from the site? [19:46] I have done it every which way but loose mate, I just wondered if anyone else had this problem [19:46] xananax, You could try using YUMI to make the USB, have you got a CD drive [19:46] allnights, try checking in software sources, see which driver is in use [19:47] jrtappers, the target pc has no cd drive [19:47] xananax, External? [19:47] on third install of ubuntu I left it out and it downloaded the driver itself and I gave it a go again and still the same lol [19:47] danes are you looking for full control or just scanner? Because for example tightVNC gives you full control of a remote pc [19:47] Hi everyone. :) [19:47] JR been fifteen years, how do i do that? [19:47] xananax: just scan [19:47] states nothing in details [19:47] allnights, What Version / WM you running? [19:48] jrtappers, I have an old one that I could dig out eventually...You think that might help? Is YUMI better than the ubuntu live cd creator? [19:48] WM? [19:48] xananax, Im trying to remove some options, to find the problem [19:48] allnights, Ok, il assume unity [19:48] dual boots with Wubi, with Win 7, Ubuntu 12.04 LTS [19:49] OK, open dash (Start Menu), type additional drivers [19:49] should see it, open it [19:49] Kruppt : so i don't have any change to increase the the linux partition? [19:49] yes [19:49] Unity [19:49] * PatrickDickey points at wubi??? [19:49] allnights, OK, open dash (Start Menu), type additional drivers [19:50] jrtappers, Ok, got your point. But: 1 - I used this iso elsewhere and md5sum checks / 2 - I tried two different USBs for the same result / so I don't think the install is corrupt or anything of the sort...Am I right to think that? [19:50] lalondong: The livecd your using is flaking out, you need to create a live systemrescuecd or something more reliable this one is buggy [19:50] jrtappers, the live install runs flawlessly so I don't think it is an ubuntu problem, it's really something to do with crappy UEFI and SSds etc [19:50] I guess [19:50] Kruppt : but i can still access my linux right? [19:51] xananax, are there any UEFI options in the BIOS? [19:51] Kruppt : where can i find that more reliable live-cd? [19:51] jrtappers, yes, but I disabled it and went to legacy boot [19:51] lalondong: yes there is nothing wrong with the filesystem on sda5 [19:51] webmail is showing localhost instead of senders IP address in header section, is there any way to track real ip from header or log? [19:51] xananax, Particularly "SAFE BOOT", "SIGNED BOOT" etc [19:52] exit [19:52] are there still people who use Borland C++ ? if so, pm me plz [19:52] swt, i thought this is a terminal [19:52] Kruppt : so i have about 27 gb free unused neither linux or windows? -_- [19:52] lalondong: When you burned the Live CD, did you have the speed set on "Auto"? (The burn speed). If so, then reburn it, and set it on the lowest possible setting. After checking the md5sum of the iso, of course. [19:53] lalondong: fdisk -l [19:53] PatrickDickey : i'm using live-cd from a flashdisk usb boss [19:53] jrtappers, I am gonna try to see what happens if I fiddle with those. I am waiting for boot-repair to finish (for the 100th time), then I'll try [19:53] is dhcpd supposed to come up in netstat [19:53] xananax, this may help https://help.ubuntu.com/community/UEFIBooting === brian__ is now known as brian_ [19:54] Kruppt : http://paste.ubuntu.com/5620354/ [19:54] jrtappers, I did the same with my local IP address. Sadly, nothing changed. [19:54] brian_, try opening whatismyip.com [19:55] oops [19:55] jrtappers, It identifies the address of my VPN. [19:55] brian_, then it seems to be working, does it begin 46 [19:55] jrtappers, read it all, tried it all...I've been working every night for a week on this, so I've read every forum post, every wiki, etc... [19:56] not sure what happened there [19:56] xananax, In the BIOS is there "QuickBoot"? [19:56] * allnights scratches his head [19:56] lalondong: It did resize the partition, but there is no unallocated space left for a swap Partition! [19:56] Yep. The VPN works. My problem is that the VPN does not work when I disable outgoing connections by default. [19:56] jrtappers, yes, disabled tho [19:56] or IntelSmartResponceTechnology [19:56] has anybody ever use 'preload'? [19:56] Kruppt : ohh god, but on gparted , it says there's 2,6 gb left unallocated space [19:57] allnights, what does additional drivers say [19:57] samjd101, yes [19:57] jrtappers, I want to disable outgoing connections by default and only allow connections through the VPN so if the VPN becomes disconnected, I am not unwittingly using an unencrypted connection. [19:57] samjd101: I have in GRUB. [19:57] hi i cant add more luminosity to my netbook monitor [19:57] one sec [19:57] is too dark [19:57] lalondong: right click on the sda5 partition and resize it and leave some room for a swap partition [19:57] how to add more light? [19:57] french chan ? [19:57] its at max right now [19:57] last time it said not activated and it says the same again [19:57] brian_, try disconnecting the VPN, see if you are still online [19:57] hey guys.. for some reson kleopatra has ceased to function on my recently upgraded 13.04 ubuntu machine [19:57] is the daemon supposed to be running on startup? [19:57] #ubuntu-fr NYG|DiscoverY [19:58] but is lit up green [19:58] allnights, which one is lit up [19:58] fabiomig, try xbacklight -dec 40 [19:58] normally when i have troubles with kleopatra I reload my keys and such from my backup [19:58] because 'service preload status' tells me that is not active [19:58] ludwig_, 13.04 in #ubuntu+1 [19:58] this one is the experimental driver but same thing happens with the other one too [19:58] samjd101: what daemon? [19:58] but this time, when i reloaded them, they are not working.. [19:58] the preload daemon [19:58] xananax, try selecting boot device, what is the prefix [19:58] lalondong: ok right click on the unallocated 2.6 space and create a swap partition then [19:58] how do search freenod for different channels [19:58] i [19:59] y2j, with alis [19:59] Kruppt : this is the picture boss : http://postimage.org/image/usm8psion/ [19:59] !alis | y2j [19:59] y2j: alis is a services bot that can help you find channels. Read "/msg alis help list" for help and ask any questions about it in #freenode. Example usage: /msg alis list #ubuntu* or /msg alis list *http* [19:59] allnights, open CCC administrative, what comes up? [19:59] samjd101: I think we're thinking of two different things. The Preload that I've used loads a service or module when the script is ran (it's not a daemon). [19:59] 15 years mate how do i do that? lol [19:59] xananax, Does the boot option start [BIOS]? [19:59] bazhang, im not sure if the issue was caused by 13.04, i was just giving as much information as possible [20:00] have a book on order for next week to refiliarise [20:00] jrtappers, dunnow, I am still waiting for boot-repair, but I don't understand what you are referring to; boot device in bios options, or boot in grub? [20:00] allnights, are you in unity or in terminal [20:00] unity [20:00] Kruppt : create new swap on those free space? [20:00] shall I get a terminal up? [20:00] im takling about this http://sourceforge.net/projects/preload/ [20:00] lalondong: Ok looks good so far , now right click on that 2.60 unallocated space and create a swap partition [20:00] done [20:01] xananax, when you select the boot device (USB/HDD) it should say [BIOS] at the start, if not it thinks its UEFI [20:01] allnights, run 'sudo amdcccle' [20:01] Kruppt : then now just click on the Edit menu -> Apply .... ? [20:02] allnights, Does it run? Does it work? [20:02] problem inititalizing Cat Control Centre No AMD Graphics driver installed LMAO [20:02] lalondong:yes, after you have chose swap [20:02] how to add more light to my monitor? its says its at maximum but appears to be in min [20:02] i cant change [20:03] allnights, ok, run 'ls ~/Downloads | grep sh' === Termana is now known as Guest81233 [20:04] Kruppt : i've chose linux-swap and it's the only choice that has swap 'word' on it [20:04] jrtappers, interesting, no, I don't think it is showing [BIOS], so you might have found something. Can't wait for boot-repair to finish so I can try [20:04] nothing happened lol [20:05] fabiomig, please open a terminal and try typing: xbacklight -dec 40 [20:05] lalondong:yes that what you want ....choose linux-swap [20:05] fabiomig, if it works, tell me so I can guide you further [20:05] allnights, did you dl the drivers from thier website? [20:05] fabiomig, to restore brightness, type xcklight -inc 40 [20:06] I did do lasttime yes [20:06] *xbacklight I meant [20:06] Hey folks, for some reason when I type something in Firefox or Thunderbird EVERY WORD gets a red spelling error underline. Any ideas on how to fix this? =( [20:06] this time it came up when additional drivers was run [20:06] Kruppt : http://paste.ubuntu.com/5620386/ [20:06] (And they're all spelled right. Even a simple word like 'the'.) [20:06] Ok, we are going to start from scratch, dl the drivers [20:06] Does anyone know how to get fsck to check a large partition (around 500GB) and fix it, when the computer has 2GB of RAM available? I'm getting this error when I try it http://sprunge.us/eTAV?lang=bash [20:06] Kruppt : its error again [20:06] contrapunctus, you probably have a corrupt dictionnary or something [20:06] allnights, go to the AMD website and download the drivers [20:06] xananax: Error No outputs have backlight property [20:07] I may not be familiar with linux but I did realise this problem was out of the ordinary lol [20:07] xananax, it works fine in xchat though. Any ideas how I may fix it? [20:07] lalondong: fdisk -l in terminal again please [20:07] allnights, what card is it? [20:07] contrapunctus, the firefox dictionary is managed by firefox, whereas the xchat one (afaik) is managed by ubuntu [20:07] fabiomig: Are you on a desktop or a laptop (notebook, netbook, etc)? [20:07] one sec [20:08] Kruppt :http://paste.ubuntu.com/5620392/ [20:08] contrapunctus, I meant try to reinstall the dictionary in firefox [20:08] PatrickDickey: netbook [20:08] xananax, feh, why not a system wide common dictionary =( Cool, I'll try, thanks ^^ [20:08] Kruppt : and this is the gparted view after i apply those settings : http://postimage.org/image/553deedb3/ [20:08] fabiomig: Which netbook is it?

[20:54] Kruppt : i'm on the bass promt right now. [20:54] why does the partitioner fail? [20:55] ubiquity-monkey-, stop it [20:55] right doing it, a bit faster now I remembered ctrl c for copying in irc lol [20:55] and why does it just sit there after telling me it has failed? [20:55] lalondong: type t then enter get back to me for next step [20:55] bazhang: are you going to tell me why? [20:55] I'm having problems with the nvidia propreitary drivers and SLI. Without SLI GL applications work fine, but with it, they seem to break. E.g. when I run glxgears it'll run a for a few seconds - then completely freeze. [20:55] Kruppt : done, what's next? [20:56] uncompressing still [20:56] lalondong: type 6 [20:56] Kruppt : done boss. what next? [20:57] takes a long time decompressing on this I noticed which is a surprise lol [20:57] lalondang: type 82 enter [20:58] lalondong: then type w enter [20:58] I'm seeing "not enough disk space" a lot, so I ran df -Th according to google. It says /dev/mapper/xubuntu-root is at 100% used [20:59] Kruppt : http://paste.ubuntu.com/5620538/ [20:59] last time I installed driver ubuntu failed to boot up lol, gave me a series of choices after not recognising driver but none worked lol [20:59] Kruppt : i did it right? [21:00] lalondong: looks ok so far , now run fdisk -l in root terminal and post the output please [21:01] does each Xorg $DISPLAY have its own clipboard and selection buffers? [21:01] I can't figure out why root is at 100% use, but how do I fix it? === allnights_ is now known as allnights [21:01] Kruppt : http://paste.ubuntu.com/5620543/ [21:01] deltree_: 100% use? What does that mean? [21:02] it says my root size is only 3.7G and that 3.6G is used [21:02] df -Th is how I got the list [21:02] deltree: in that case that just means the file system. [21:02] deltree_:^ [21:02] lalondong: looks good, now run -> mkswap /dev/sda6 <- and that should be it [21:03] deltree_: What do you have stored in there? [21:03] so what do I do to fix it since I keep getting out of disk space errors [21:03] Kruppt : on terminal root right? [21:03] deltree_: What are you trying to do? (I just got here) [21:03] it's a default ubuntu-sever install. I've added xubuntu-desktop, java, and virtualbox guestadditions [21:03] I'm running a minecraft server [21:04] lalondong: yeak type mkswap /dev/sda6, make sure you type sda6 and not another partition number!! [21:04] why is ubuntu doing this stupid thing with MIR? [21:04] instead of contributing to wayland [21:05] Kruppt : http://paste.ubuntu.com/5620564/ how was that boss? [21:05] Cant play video http://pastebin.com/zW6pdAuX [21:05] allnights, My network crashed, is it working? [21:05] deltree_: I'll never understand how you shoved Ubuntu Server onto such a tight space... what !version are you using? [21:05] hrist, you'll probably get a better answer for that in #ubuntu+1 or in #ubuntu-offtopic [21:05] whats #ubuntu+1? [21:05] hrist: Discussion about the next release (in this case, Raring) [21:05] It's the IRC channel for the development version of Ubuntu (in this case 13.04) [21:06] mhm [21:06] 2 out of 2 ain't bad [21:06] SonikkuAmerica: it's an 8 gig vdi [21:06] it's got plenty of space, but it's CLAIMING I'm out of space [21:07] lalondong: all is good, now you need to mount sda5 and edit your /etc/fstab file to be sure that the swap uuid is that uuid you just posted. [21:07] deltree_: Did you install it as a LVM by chance? And do you have the lvm tools installed? [21:07] Kruppt : how to do that? [21:07] PatrickDickey, I think I might have done that, it's the default selection on install [21:08] deltree_: How much space did Ubuntu Server say you had in the VBox HDD when you installed it? [21:08] lalondong: mkdir /mnt/sda5 then type mount /dev/sda5 /mnt/sda5 and get back to me with what text editor you have [21:09] lalondong: it generally takes me around 20 minutes to reinstall and configure.. i think that might be not only easier, but a nice way to be sure the disk is "good" and setup properly [21:09] SonikkuAmerica 8.3G [21:09] lalondong: but, you are in capable hands with Kruppt .. and good luck! [21:09] Kruppt : type mkdir /mnt/sda5 then press enter. Then type mount /dev/sda5 /mnt/sda5 then press enter?

GNU is a philosophy (and a store of applications that meet it's requirements) [21:12] sudo ./ === ubuntu is now known as Guest50940 === Guest50940 is now known as Opikat [21:12] might be a very exotic question. but is it normal that i see a blinking underscore for 2seconds on each boot?

[21:13] hello everybody [21:13] When I try to wipe a 640GB HDD using wipe /dev/sda the ETA states that it will take 25 weeks to complete. Sounds a bit silly.

[21:15] Hello All [21:15] Opikat: dban.sourceforge.net You'll have to burn it to a cd. But it'll wipe it (along with any other hard drive in the computer). [21:15] but the device is not connected [21:15] SonikkuAmerica it says my PV size is 7.76GiB [21:15] lalondong: yes it did .. now we can edit /etc/fstab....what text editor do you have installed we can use?

[21:18] lalondong: what gui text editor can we use? leafpad, medit, nedit, mousepad, gedit, kedit..what you got? [21:18] Opikat, random takes a long time [21:18] Opikat: I use it to wipe drives occasionally. I'd say it'll take a few hours depending on your processor and the read/write speed. You'll want to read their documentation for options though. [21:18] jrtappers, thx for the link, I appreciate it :-) [21:19] Kruppt : yes i have gedit, the title says its Text Editor. sorry. what now? === D_D is now known as D_D_AFK [21:19] deltree_: Because you have XFCE, I would start it if it's not up already and install gparted. [21:19] PatrickDickey, I'll download dban. [21:19] Opikat, Thats ok, and opening hard drives it difficult without destroying the data [21:19] lalondong: in root terminal type gedit /etc/fstab enter [21:20] Kruppt : okey, what now? [21:20] SonikkuAmerica The problem is there's no free-space according to Ubuntu, so I can't even run most programs [21:20] jrtappers, well the computer it will be used fro will go to a friend, so it doesn't have to be top secure... [21:20] let alone install one [21:20] fro -> for [21:20] deltree_: How did I forget that? :| [21:21] Opikat, either DBAN or dd if=/dev/zero of=/dev/sda [21:21] jrtappers, /dev/zero is better than /dev/urandom? [21:21] lalondong: show me the contents of the fstab file and I show you [21:21] Opikat, its faster but only uses 0's [21:21] I tried to extend /dev/mapper/xubuntu-root and it says it only has 8 extents available, what does that mean? [21:22] lvextend --help [21:22] oops, wrong window [21:22] Kruppt : http://paste.ubuntu.com/5620608/ [21:22] jrtappers, so I see, thx for the hint, I'll dd it instead [21:22] hey guys I just found a really stupid fix for alot of ppl havein issues with ubuntu... kms and acer monitors on a old Dell computer... Dell Dimension, so stupid I had to come in and say [21:22] Opikat, data recovery after a single wipe is theoretical [21:23] . [21:23] deltree_: Can it not continue? [21:23] on the front on the Acer there are menu options, scan thru them hit "reset" and apply, then go into display settings, and your new resolution will be there [21:23] lalondong: LOL! close that file out and type gedit /mnt/sda5/etc/fstab in root that is the fstab for the live system not the one we need [21:23] it's claiming insufficient free space [21:24] let me resize the vdi [21:24] deltree_: That might help... [21:24] Kruppt : ahh yeah, we're on live-cd right now anyway. hold on [21:25] Opikat: I'll say that the only reason I use DBAN, is because it completely removes the partition table as well. So it's like a bare drive (well maybe a drive with all 1's or all 0's on it). Not so much for the "security" of the wipe. [21:25] Kruppt : http://paste.ubuntu.com/5620621/ [21:26] PatrickDickey, But data recovery from even a single pass is extreamly difficult [21:26] PatrickDickey, I have used a Seagate tool to wipe the part. table, so that should be gone. [21:26] Opikat, dd will remove everything, the partition table is at the front of the drive, so it will go first [21:26] jrtappers: I agree. I should clarify that I only use it when I reinstall or install new operating systems. [21:26] lol, I don't think it matters, but I can't upgrade the hard drive, since I kept getting this error this box I set up with fixed size [21:27] PatrickDickey, jrtappers, currently executing dd if=/dev/zero of=/dev/sda [21:27] lalondong: UUID=0c743f40-f13d-41a3-bf4c-ad0d2a8d6b85 none swap sw 0 0 [21:27] deltree_: Do you have a lot of free space on the physical drive? [21:27] Opikat, on the device you are using for xchat? [21:27] PatrickDickey yes [21:27] Kruppt : what is that? [21:27] jrtappers, I'm running the chat from a LiveCD, don't worry [21:28] k [21:28] lalondong: change that line in your fstab file to look like what I just posted... [21:28] deltree_: I'd create a new vdi with more space, add it to the virtual machine (along with the current one), boot into a Live CD iso on the virtual machine, and use dd to copy everything to the new vdi. Then remove the small one, and it should work for you. [21:29] what happens on start up if i have a kernel(clean compiled source not a distro) and grub is set to boot it will it load like terminal ? [21:29] jrtappers, the victim or blessed disk, depending how you look at it ;-) contained Windows 7, along with a recovery partition. [21:29] ubuntu-studio_: yes. [21:29] ubuntu-studio_: What's your ultimate goal, if I may ask? [21:30] might be a very exotic question. but is it normal that i see a blinking underscore for 2seconds on each boot? [21:30] Kruppt : so all i need to do is that to change the line under the : # swap was on /dev/sda8 during installation ? [21:30] PatrickDickey tbh: I can create a whole new VM, the files for MC are on the main HD, but I don't want this to happen again [21:30] Kruppt : with what you've just send me before? [21:30] hi... I just upgraded to Ubuntu 13.04 development, and Unity is not showing my background wallpapers, even if I change then in preferences. It's showing a black screen. anyone know how to solve this? [21:31] I suspect I have plenty of HD space, but there's something else going on, so I want to fix it [21:31] or at least verify it [21:32] ptl: I also had issues upgrading to 13.04. Found it easier to download the iso and install afresh. [21:32] lalondoug: you just need to change the UUID=55f70db0-fa62-48f2-be23-9aeb0bb328ad , the very last line in file [21:32] PatrickDickey, do u know how i would make it auto execute a program i have built [21:32] deltree_: You could download the gparted Live ISO, and use that to check it. It'll have the lvm tools installed, so it should be able to see if you're really out of space or not. [21:32] PatrickDickey, its a gui [21:32] baudtrap_: :S [21:33] Kruppt : okey, done, so i just need to save this right? [21:33] ubuntu-studio_: I'd imagine you'll need something like X or wayland to make it execute a GUI. Unless your GUI uses ncurses or something like that. [21:34] hello, i am running 12.04 LTS and was wondering if i could assign a shortcut for the wheel button on my mouse to the virtual window button or I'm sorry, the workspace switcher button on the launcher? [21:34] well that was crazy [21:34] kept freezing repeatedly so i left it [21:34] allnights, did the installer run? [21:34] Kruppt : what next? [21:34] PatrickDickey, whats X, wayland, nurses [21:35] lalondoug: yes save and you should be good to go [21:35] ubuntu-studio_: If you want a pure kernel though, I'd suggest looking into Linux From Scratch. But I'll warn you, you're the package management for it. So, you have to figure out how to resolve any dependencies for whatever you're putting on. [21:35] dialogue box came up saying another driver needs to be uninstalled lol [21:35] yes [21:35] Hello everybody i have some problem with my bluetooth device [21:35] I just want to connect my Andorid phone with my pc and share some file [21:35] X and wayland are display servers (You're using X right now, behind the scenes). ncurses does something similar, but in a text mode. [21:35] Kruppt : i saved them, now what? [21:35] dialogue box said fglrx thing needed to be unsinstalled before running [21:36] the error that the system provide to me : "Method "CreateBluetoothSession" with signature "vvs" on interface "org.openobex.Manager" doesn't exist [21:36] PatrickDickey, its built in C in GNU gcc [21:36] ubuntu-studio_, if you want a custom setup with the convenience and speed of using precompiled packages, take a look at Arch-Linux [21:36] lalondong: reboot [21:36] hello [21:37] ubuntu-studio_: http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/X_Window_System (for what X is), and along with what Opikat said, you can look at Slackware also. [21:37] mkquist : and go into my linux or still back to this live-cd ? [21:37] hikari, hi, please state your question [21:37] lalondong: your done, unless you have resume stanza in grub, you need to change that to the present UUID of swap partition too.. [21:37] lol can I take it your stumped? [21:38] ubuntu-studio_: Out of curiosity, why did you want the source code for GNU applications then? [21:38] Kruppt : what is stanza in grub? [21:38] i have a sony VPCSA2SGX and i want to switch to ubuntu but i am afraid that i will have problems with AMD Radeon™ HD 6470M / 6630M and Intel® HD Graphics 3000 [21:38] hey guys. I have a ubuntu 12.04.2 installation, and when I print the icon doesn't show up in the system tray [21:38] however, when I use the CUPS webUI, I am able to see active print jobs and cancel [21:38] allnights: Did you tell it to uninstall fglrx? [21:38] no lol [21:39] how can I get this ability within Ubuntu, without the need to go to the CUPS web interface? [21:39] allnights: you need to. You're replacing the open source (fglrx) driver with the AMD proprietary one. [21:39] command line to do that? [21:39] allnights, You just need to uninstall the ond one [21:39] allnights, sudo /usr/share/ati/amd-uninstall.sh [21:40] PatrickDickey, I have installed arch on my ("s" word) laptop and i like the base system but don't what there packages. I know this sounds advanced and longterm' but i am looking to make a custom distro. [21:40] ubuntu-studio_: Then Linux From Scratch and Beyond LFS are your best bet. [21:40] ubuntu-studio, you can call such a laptop a craptop. [21:40] lalondong: you should be good to go [21:40] hikari_, test it out on a liveCD first === cl0akd is now known as cloakd [21:41] command not found [21:41] plus did not think I had an AMD driver installed [21:41] and ubuntu-studio_ if you're going that route, you'll want to go to their irc server at irc.linuxfromscratch.org:6667 to get help. [21:41] PatrickDickey, Ok i'll have a look. [21:41] run the same but fglrx-uninstall.sh [21:43] ubuntu-studio_: I might be able to find you a script that will get the base install started. I've got it, but I don't know if the creator still has it on his site or not. [21:43] Where can I download ubuntu for my netbook Lenovo brand [21:43] Is it possible to run Ubuntu on 128 bytes of RAM? [21:43] same answer [21:43] bytes of RAM? Atari2600 are you trolling? [21:43] would it not be different folder and not ati? [21:43] 128 megabytes, maybe... but 128 bytes? dafaq? [21:43] allnights, does the folder exist? [21:43] arrrghhh: nope, I am on a machine from 1977 [21:43] Atari2600: is it possible to generate a photorealistic mountains video in 4096 bytes? [21:44] allnights, If not we can override the installer to force install [21:44] how do I step back up the folder tree? [21:44] Atari 2600, search it on Wikipedia [21:44] or cd.. [21:44] cd .. [21:44] Atari2600, then no. you can't. [21:44] PatrickDickey, thanks :-> [21:44] I want to install Linux on it [21:44] it has 4KB hard disk space [21:44] Atari2600, you're not going to get ubuntu on it. [21:44] so anyone know about printers? [21:44] you sure it aint possible? I thought linux was light [21:44] allnights, run the installer as sudo with --force [21:44] I can play games on this machine you know [21:45] Atari2600, maybe you can shoehorn some form of Linux on there, but not Ubuntu. [21:45] jelly-home: anyway search for the atari 2600 [21:46] arrrghhh: hmm, how? [21:46] gotcha [21:46] gsettings set org.gnome.settings-daemon.plugins.background active true -> solved it [21:46] Atari2600, this is #ubuntu [21:46] this is also Linux [21:46] Atari2600, please. I'm trying to genuinely get help with Ubuntu here. [21:46] Ubuntu == Linux [21:46] Linux is on topic [21:47] Atari2600: I've played games on that 32 years ago, why search now?

It's on freenode (with us) at #lfs-support [21:47] I'm sure others are as well [21:47] oops [21:47] did the --force go at the end or after sudo? lol [21:47] at the enf [21:47] *end [21:48] jelly-home: jeez, you must be old [21:48] command not found [21:48] Anyway..

[21:51] lolcat: well make it [21:51] Kruppt : boss, i'm on my own linux right now, but when i checked gparted, i found something weird. : http://postimage.org/image/dijzok3yf/ [21:51] Atari2600: obviously you're not some moron trying to run linux on a MMU-less 8-bit machine, because that would never work.

[21:56] The proper way [21:56] histo, thanks, il try it [21:56] this will be jumpy lol [21:56] Kruppt : bos, it still showing the default free space before we do the partition. http://postimage.org/image/dijzok3yf/ [21:56] I find they work even if add drivers doesn't [21:56] b33r: Access other windows machines? [21:56] yes [21:56] i'm trying to access a shared folder on my windows 7 machine [21:57] jrtappers: They break the system upon removal. I wouldn't recomend it to people.

[21:59] allnights, Is it working? [21:59] b33r: there is also "Browse Network" in there as well [21:59] histo, You could use the connect to network share dialog File > connect to server [21:59] b33r: but you have to specify smb://hostname or IP to do it directly rather than browsing there [22:00] jrtappers: I'm well aware of that. Not me that has the problem. [22:00] histo, thanks i'll try that [22:01] allnights, ? [22:01] jrtappers, anything? Did I miss your response?

Isn't there supposed to be some icon in the system tray when I print? [22:06] arrrghhh, I think that only applies to local printing [22:06] lalondong_: things still not right? [22:06] is there a way to see the configure options used at compile time for a .deb package? [22:06] jrtappers, that's what I'm doing [22:06] arrrghhh, Oh [22:07] mkquist : i think so, take a look at this : http://postimage.org/image/dijzok3yf/ [22:07] jrtappers, I'm using USB to print..... [22:07] lalondong_: saw that one [22:07] arrrghhh, Does it show up in the printers dialogue? [22:07] mkquist : how the hell it's all used while i haven't install anything since we resize the partition. [22:08] jrtappers, it does, but I can't "stop" the job from that dialog. I can only stop jobs from CUPS webUI [22:08] and the icon in the system tray I guess "sometimes" shows... I'm thinking I need to reinstall some package or something... but what? [22:08] lalondong_: well you have two partitions not doing anything looks to me [22:08] keeps freezing, god annoying [22:08] getting there I think [22:09] lalondong_: sda7 and sda8 are using up the rest of the extended partition [22:09] total progress bar near end [22:09] postprocessing kernal module [22:09] downlaoded the gparted live iso and mounted it on my vbox, but which file is the one that I need to run?

[22:10] done and now reboot back soon [22:10] lalondong_: what are you trying to do in all - just a short description [22:10] arrrghhh I've been working on this problem for a bit, I'm trying to run gparted from a live iso so that I can verify if I'm really out of space [22:10] mkquist : as i remember we were joining the sda5 that has only 8 gb space with the 26 gb free/unallocated space, and it shows it's only has 2 gb free now [22:11] deltree_, df -h doesn't cut it? [22:11] df - Th says that it's 100% using 3.7 gigs, but the HDD is 8gigs [22:11] we think it may be LVM confusing things [22:12] lalondong:Ok, I'm back what you having problem with? [22:12] are you using LVM? [22:12] lalondong_: what 26 gb of free space? From what I see you only have 6.61 Mib and 1.34 Mib unallocated [22:12] brb [22:12] ubuntu server defaults to use LVM, so yes [22:13] Is there anyway to validate a ubuntu one account.

Is there anything I can do to fix this? [22:15] Hallo [22:15] lalondong: the free space showing between your ntfs partitions was created by whatever partition software you used to make them with originally. [22:16] so what i have to do now? [22:17] Kruppt : erase that space again? [22:18] alo === unicron is now known as Guest89100 [22:19] lalondong_: again - what 'free' space do you see there? [22:20] i wnat tp speel [22:20] mkquist : the sda5 unused space? [22:20] lalondong: Nothing, shouldn't cause a problem. [22:21] lalondong_: thats not unused, its formatted as ext4 [22:21] lalondong_: what are you trying to 'join' it with? [22:22] should i install fluendo mp3 plugin ? [22:22] whoIs DankenseN [22:22] lalondong_: sda5 looks almost to be full though [22:23] lalondong_: thats is being used as root - or where linux is installed/mounted [22:23] Kruppt : my sda5 before we resize them, it has only about 8 gb right? so when we resize them with 27 gb unallocated space, i should have about 26 or less unused space right? but why it shows it's only has 2 more gb free space? [22:25] lalondong: your sda5 partition and swap partition are fine. You wanted to increase the size of sda5 right? [22:25] Kruppt : yes, [22:25] hey guys. anyone help me with fixing the splash screen? I have an nvidia card, and when booting up it looks awful. for some reason, when shutting down it looks great (as it should look) [22:26] Kruppt : how about this : [22:26] Kruppt : http://paste.ubuntu.com/5620768/ [22:26] lalondoug: the space you see between the ntfs partitions is purposely created by the windows type partitioning software you used originally, has nothing to do with what we did earlier. [22:26] so how can I fix the startup screen so it looks like the shutdown screen? [22:27] Kruppt : so did it increase the the size of my ubuntu partition what we did earlier ? [22:28] lalondong:the only partitons that have been modified was the sda5 partition, which was increased in size. The swap had to be remade as you had turned all the unallocated space into a swap partition [22:29] hello guys, do you know any webmail that will allow me to use multiple imap accounts at once? I've installed roundcube but it doesn't have this feature, squirrelmail doesn't seem to have also, and horde is impossible to install [22:30] Kruppt : so it's increase in size as well they used the rest of the size, and the available size are still 2 gb? [22:30] Nine_9, tbh you might have better luck in #ubuntu-server [22:30] arrrghhh: ok. thanks [22:31] np [22:32] sooo anyone? splash screen looks like crap on boot, but looks great on shutdown? how do I fix this? [22:33] Kruppt : is that increasing and as well using the increasing size and left no more availabe space for sda5? === kiyoura`` is now known as kiyoura [22:35] lalondong: sda5 is your ubuntu partition, it is now 26.58 gb in size from 8.1 gb or whatever it was the swap partition is now 2.59 gb in size. I don't follow what your having a problem with [22:36] hey how do you increase the size of ubuntu's partition? [22:36] been looking up guides but can't figure it out [22:36] Kruppt : so it's not increasing the available space for sda5 ? [22:37] I'm trying to install ubuntu on my laptop as dual boot but it gets stuck on both usb/cd. If I'm trying to install XP (for example what I've tried) it doesn't stuck. What's wrong? [22:37] hi [22:37] how can i schedule my ubuntu, [22:37] s-faraday, lookup crontab [22:37] \quit [22:37] trevor_, perhaps, I guess you could LiveCD ubuntu and then use `gparted` (a GUI app) to resize the partition. [22:37] for shutting down at a certain hours [22:37] trevor_: easy enough using gparted, do you have free space around the partition? [22:37] would gparted work to increase ubuntu's drive partition? [22:37] ubulove, did you do an md5sum to make sure the download was good? [22:37] trevor_: very well [22:38] if i used wubi and not a cd to install ubuntu is it still possible to change the partition size? [22:38] lalondong: yes the sda5 partition is increased from what it was, is that not what you wanted to do? [22:39] arrrghhh: i know that, is there any graphical way? [22:39] s-faraday, cron works, not sure what else you would want. it's really simple to use... [22:39] GUI [22:40] lol [22:40] CLI [22:40] lalondong: run df -Th from root terminal...what is the filesystem size on /? [22:40] Kruppt : yes i want to increase them, so i would have more available space on sda5. but it still showing 2 gb free. and not increasing the available space. [22:40] arrrghhh: I downloaded ubuntu from www.ubuntu.com [22:41] ubulove, doesn't matter. you need to check the md5 to make sure your download was good. [22:41] please do so [22:41] damn.. [22:41] I downloaded also xubuntu and the same thing. [22:42] ok when i open gparted i have 3 partitions and 1.3mb of unallocated space [22:42] ubulove, it's the only way to know the download was good. [22:42] ubulove, did you check the md5? did it match? [22:42] the other three partitions are labelled sda 1-3 [22:42] arrrghhh: how can I check the md5 and compare it to original ? [22:42] !md5 | ubulove [22:42] ubulove: To verify your Ubuntu ISO image (or other files for which an MD5 checksum is provided), see http://help.ubuntu.com/community/HowToMD5SUM or http://www.linuxquestions.org/linux/answers/LQ_ISO/Checking_the_md5sum_in_Windows [22:42] Thanks mate [22:42] damnit... isn't there one of those thingys [22:42] 1 sec ubulove [22:42] all of them are using ntfs file system [22:42] oh derp. it worked lol [22:43] hello there, is there anywhere that I can download this ubuntu for my android phone [22:43] https://wiki.ubuntu.com/Touch [22:43] RanthorharW, I guess if you have a Nexus device [22:43] ^^^^^^ [22:43] Also see #ubuntu-touch [22:43] no galaxy s3 [22:43] the only supported is nexus , i assume [22:44] arrrghhh: sudo shutdown -h 07:50 [22:44] RanthorharW, then I would wait for someone @ xda-devs to build it [22:44] lalondong: Are you booted into your Ubuntu install right now on sda5? If the ext4 filesystem did not resize that is easy enough to fix. [22:44] Alright, I have a weird issue. On the top left of my left monitor, over my gnome panel, there's some kind of square artifact that prevents me from clicking whatever is under it. It starts by just being slightly darker than the panel, then after a while it becomes completely black... as if it has a certain opacity. [22:44] s-faraday, ok...? [22:44] RanthorharW, only officially supported devices are Nexus. See that page linked by TK-999 [22:44] arrrghhh: this command will close my running torrent client at that time? [22:45] s-faraday, that will halt your system, it will shutdown everything. [22:45] Kruppt : yes i'm on my ubuntu right now, not on live-cd anymore. How to fix this? [22:45] trevor_: http://askubuntu.com/questions/45158/how-to-increase-the-partition-size-of-ubuntu-installed-under-windows answers that one... [22:45] thanks [22:46] brb [22:46] i need to wait a wee bit of more then [22:46] thx === arrrghhh is now known as arrrghhhAWAY [22:47] arrrghhhAWAY: even if my laptop be inactive for some hours? [22:47] Kruppt : yes i'm on my ubuntu right now, not on live-cd anymore. How to fix this? === arrrghhhAWAY is now known as arrrghhh [22:48] lalondong:run df -Th from a root terminal and post the output so I can see what the filesystem size is [22:48] s-faraday, what do you mean?? it will run whenever you tell it to. [22:49] Kruppt : http://paste.ubuntu.com/5620810/ [22:50] hey channel, here http://paste.ubuntu.com/5620807/ ← what's wrong? "dpkg-shlibdeps: error: no dependency information found for /lib/i386-linux-gnu/libc.so.6" [22:51] I'm packaging a simple application, and it has Depends: ${shlibs:Depends}, ${misc:Depends} in its debian/control [22:51] why doesn't libc.so get... detected or what? [22:51] hi there. I'm trying to install a Realtek audio driver, and I keep getting an error when I try to run configure, it says gcc: cannot run C compiled programs [22:51] hey all - ran into an issue with my bluetooth after installing and trying to use Wiican. Now my bluetooth seems to be stuck in an OFF mode, and dmesg indicates the bluetooth process [22:51] lalondong: the partition has been increased but gparted choked when resizing the filesystem. you need to boot back into live-usb or cd and resize the ext4 filesystem from command line is all [22:51] arrrghhh: got it [22:51] thanks so much [22:52] bye :) [22:52] here is what dmesg says about Bluetooth: http://pastebin.com/TKQjNUZW [22:52] ulidtko: You might get more help with that in #ubuntu-app-devel But I'm not sure. [22:52] Can anyone help out with this? http://snag.gy/RdRMD.jpg It's some kind of artifact that goes on the top left of my desktop and prevents me from clicking whats under (my gnome panel) [22:52] PatrickDickey: thanks anyway! [22:52] okey, i'll boot it right now. hold on. === e is now known as Guest36748 [22:53] hello all [22:53] ldiamond: Is that there from when you boot up to when you shut down? Or did it appear when you opened a particular application? [22:53] hi [22:53] is there a way to find out what process owns this? [22:53] thanks for the help guys [22:53] ldiamond: it's probably a window - run xwininfo and click on it [22:53] PatrickDickey, it happens at some point... I can't tell exactly when [22:54] does my problem sound like its with gcc or with the configure script included with the driver? [22:54] or xprop if xwininfo doesn't give you enough information [22:54] Random832, yea, xwininfo gives me something [22:54] what is it [22:55] Ah! [22:55] Found the application [22:55] Thanks [22:55] what was it [22:55] steam [22:56] steam is proprietary feces [22:56] quitting steam works [22:56] yea it's horrible [22:56] lol @TK-999 [22:56] crashes all the time [22:56] I mean, ofc Debian might be a bit over the edge, but closed-source games and stuff... [22:57] There's even an antivirus vendor, who develops AV for Linux, for actual money [22:58] TK-999: isn't the main purpose of that for stuff like email filtering for windows end-users? [22:58] hi. does wine need any kind of group to work with a newly created user? [22:58] nah they try to scare you into needing it. many AV vendors do it. [22:58] Random: no, this is actual, real desktop AV [22:59] TK-999: which one? [22:59] http://www.eset.com/home/products/antivirus-linux/ [22:59] Ahhhh yeah ok. They don't offer anything free. [22:59] * PatrickDickey has used Bitdefender and F-Secure on ubuntu before [22:59] Kruppt : i'm on live-usb right now. what do i have to do? [23:00] nod32 still sounds more like a virus than an antivirus [23:00] nod32 has gotten awards for being one of the best vendors... just fyi. [23:00] fire up a root terminal for starts and run mount command so we can be sure sda5 is NOT mount first [23:00] i was commenting on the sounds of the name [23:00] can anyone help me or point me in the right direction? [23:01] AureliusR: with whatnow [23:01] I just don't knoe enough about gcc to fix this on my own [23:01] ohey TomyLobo, didn't know you were here too lol [23:01] hi there. I'm trying to install a Realtek audio driver, and I keep getting an error when I try to run configure, it says gcc: cannot run C compiled programs [23:01] AureliusR, this isn't really a dev channel [23:01] isn't there #ubuntu-dev or something? [23:01] but I'm not trying to develop anything [23:01] i forgot, where have we met? [23:01] I'm just trying to install an audio driver... [23:01] hello everyone [23:01] AureliusR, mixed you up with someone else I guess [23:01] TomyLobo: SK-dev, I was the one that submitted the patch for worldguard to fix flags not being stored correctly [23:01] Kruppt : i'm on root terminal,. what next? [23:01] lalondong:not mounted that is [23:01] lol its okay arrrghhh [23:02] it sounds like you're trying to compile the Realtek poop by hand AureliusR ? there's no deb? [23:02] ahhh [23:02] AureliusR: Does it have an INSTALL or README file in the download? That might point you in the right direction. [23:02] no there's no deb. the instructions that come with it tell you to run the configure first, then make, then make install [23:02] run "mount" from root terminal and be sure sda5 is NOT mounted [23:02] Kruppt : i don't remember how to see that. [23:02] but I keep getting errors while trying to run configure [23:03] AureliusR, do you have a build environment setup? have you compiled stuff before? [23:03] AureliusR: is gcc actually installed? [23:03] yeah I have [23:03] AureliusR: could you pastebin the errors please? [23:03] and yes it is [23:03] sure thing [23:03] just type mount then enter [23:03] AureliusR, pastebin the error [23:03] lol sorry someone already asked... my nets is SLOW today [23:04] Kruppt : http://paste.ubuntu.com/5620838/ [23:04] arrrghhh: you weren't that far behind. ;-) === fisted_ is now known as fisted [23:04] http://aurelius.pastebay.net/1189771 [23:05] AureliusR: what does config.log show? [23:06] I'm not sure which config.log it's referring to, to be honest [23:06] type ls and see if there's one in that directory. [23:06] oh there is! nice. [23:06] lalondong: it is not mounted, running resize2fs is supposed to be non-destructive, but shit happens, if you really need anything backed up, nows a good time to do so rather than be sorry [23:06] is there one in that folder? [23:07] Paste that up also, please. [23:07] ill pastebin it [23:07] http://aurelius.pastebay.net/1189772 === arrrghhh is now known as arrrghhhAWAY [23:09] how do i get the namespace of a namespace qualified keyword [23:09] wrong channel [23:09] I'm kind of regretting upgrading my server from debain to Ubuntu. The box can no longer share its printers. Have any of you successfully shared any printers from a machine running Ubuntu 12.04 desktop 32-bit? Via samba or cups, anything at all? Nothing I do works. -_- [23:09] lalondong: You ready to rock, or do you need time to backup? [23:10] Kruppt : from the sda5 right? i've backup the most important data that i have, i've moved them to the upper drive called SnareDrums, as long as this drive are not touch, feel free to fuck this sda5 till i have available space as much as it should be. [23:10] wad: yes I have shared my printer. did you remember to do smbpasswd -a 'username' [23:10] I can't have authentication in this network. [23:10] Under debian, I was able to just set it up to work. [23:11] All the windows machines could print, all the linux machines could print, etc. [23:11] hmm... I'm sure you can shut that off inside samba, just not sure how [23:12] I'm pretty sure samba is the way to go if you're making a printserver though [23:12] Yeah, that's my first choice. [23:12] its been working great for me... [23:12] It's what I was doing before I upgraded. [23:12] lalondong: we're not going to fuck up anything, but it is always wise to backup data when doing low level work like this on drives, just wanted to remind you so you don't get excited if something blows [23:12] AureliusR: type ls -l a.out and see if it has read permissions for everyone (should look someting like this -r--r--r--). [23:12] but the only way I could use it was to add a separate account in samba for my shares [23:12] okay [23:13] Is it possible to back up my MacBook Pro to a PC running Ubuntu Server? [23:13] smb.conf: [printers] browseable = yes path = /var/spool/samba printable = yes guest ok = yes read only = yes create mask = 0700 [23:13] !language | Kruppt [23:13] Kruppt: Please watch your language and topic to help keep this channel family-friendly, polite, and professional. [23:13] PatrickDickey: where is a.out? [23:13] Macuser: I know you can using third party programs, but I'm not sure if it will do it natively. [23:13] hm [23:13] AureliusR, so you added a samba account, not an OS account? [23:13] Kruppt : okey, i have moved the most importand one, i'm ready. [23:14] lalondong: from a root terminal type resize2fs /dev/sda5 when your ready and do nothing else on computer till this process is done. Ok [23:14] wad: you need both, generally they should match usernames but not passwords to be secure [23:14] AureliusR: it should be in that directory. I could be wrong though. [23:14] it doesn't seem to be, let me check again [23:15] I just did locate a.out and it gave me a bunch of different ones [23:15] PatrickDickey: is it that Ubuntu Server is the problem or the PC hardware? [23:15] This machine also acts as an internet gateway, it's got a routable IP address on one NIC, so I don't really want external-facing logins. Actually, this is one reason why I upgraded it. The box was compromised, through an account with a bad password, so I had to wipe it clean. [23:15] Kruppt : http://paste.ubuntu.com/5620854/ [23:15] Adding an OS account just so I can share printers inside the LAN seems odd. [23:15] PatrickDickey: should I pastebin those as well? [23:16] Macuser: I'm not sure. I've never done it from a Mac to linux. I'd imagine that if you can copy a file to the server, you can back up to it. [23:16] lalondong:forgot to say hit enter key when ready, no playing games or something that crashes and locks system up while doing this LOL! [23:16] you dont need another OS account just match the samba users to the exisitng users [23:16] AureliusR: is it one line? If so, just paste it here. [23:16] no it's many lines [23:16] Then I'd say pastebin it. [23:17] PatrickDickey: http://aurelius.pastebay.net/1189773 [23:17] PatrickDickey: true but the extensions would mess up [23:17] lalondong:run e2fsck -f /dev/sda5 first before running resize2fs /dev/sda5 [23:17] AureliusR, so you're suggesting adding an OS account on the gateway machine for every user inside the LAN? That's not going to work at all. [23:17] Does anyone know where I could find out some information on backing a Mac up to linux? [23:17] a linux PC [23:17] no no, not on the gateway machine === D_D_AFK is now known as D_D [23:17] The gateway machine is also the print server. [23:18] match the samba users on the gateway to the LAN users OS accounts [23:18] Kruppt : Okey, so i just have to wait until the process done right? and how do i know if the process done? [23:18] then when you go to add the share on their computers, just enter in their user and samba password when it asks [23:18] hi [23:18] Macuser: whatever backup program you're using, you'd point it to the network location for the output. It won't do anything with the extentions, because you're basically just copying a file over. [23:18] wad: do you live in Canada or the US by chance? [23:18] USA [23:18] lalondong: run e2fsck -f /dev/sda5 first from the root terminal [23:19] wad: go to your local library if possible and take out a book called Linux Networking Cookbook -- its AMAZING and will answer all your questions regarding this topic [23:19] PatrickDickey: so would I need to install anything on the source machine? Or just the target? Like what do I use to get the files from the Mac to the Ubuntu server? [23:19] AureliusR: From what I can see, the realtek driver wants gcc > 5, but yours isn't. I'm not sure what to tell you from here. You could ask in #ubuntu-app-devel even though you're not developing it. [23:19] what does that mean? [23:19] Kruppt : done, i just need to run resize2fs after this. Are chatting forbidden while waiting? [23:19] I'm having some difficulties getting a consistent response from VirtualBox on my Ubuntu 12.10 host. I've created 5 VM guests (2 debian, 1 freebsd and 1 ubuntu 12.04 server LTS) and they all work perfectly fine. [23:19] Different version of gcc? [23:20] I'm trying to figure out what you're saying... I don't want to create user accounts on the gateway machine. Every time another machine was plugged into the LAN, I'd have to setup an account so that they can print? Not what I want at all. [23:20] My problem is with getting them to launch when I start Ubuntu. [23:20] On the inside of the LAN, I just want complete unauthenticated access to all the printers on the server. [23:20] AureliusR: Yeah. You're using v 4.7 and it wants v 5.0. I could be wrong though. [23:20] I've got 2-3 of them working, but can't seem to get all 5 to load up. [23:20] If you're inside the LAN, users should be able to print. No accounts, no passwords. [23:20] wad: as far as I know, other than guest account that's what you'd have to do. you could write a script to automate it [23:20] yes, guest accounts would work better [23:20] Macuser: Does your mac come with anything for backups? If so, can it point to a network drive for the location? [23:21] sometimes my freebsd launch and one of the debian VMs fails to launch. [23:21] but if you can't get that to work, this is the alternatice [23:21] ok [23:21] I didn't know the size of your network [23:21] lalondong:yeah after e2fsck finishes run resize2fs as I posted earlier...chatting shouldn't hurt ;-0 [23:21] PatrickDickey: well I'm using Time Machine right now. But that's closed. [23:21] sorry, I was thinking less than 10 machines for some reason [23:21] I'm backing up to my external hard drive via usb [23:21] okay PatrickDickey I'll look into that [23:21] but I just did apt-get install gcc to make sure, and it was the most recent version [23:21] Macuser: http://kremalicious.com/ubuntu-as-mac-file-server-and-time-machine-volume/ this might help. Like I said, I don't have a Mac, so I'm going by a Google search. [23:22] PatrickDickey: and this driver is fairly old so I'd be surprised if that was the problem [23:22] Kruppt : http://paste.ubuntu.com/5620870/ [23:22] 1 or 2 years anyway [23:22] AureliusR: Which sound card do you have? [23:23] PatrickDickey: can I show you the PDF that comes with it? [23:23] its an on-board realtek cihip [23:23] Hello. [23:23] Gigabyte motherboard GA-MA69GM-S2H [23:23] AureliusR: which chip is it? And you can link me to where you downloaded the pdf or the driver from. [23:23] I will do both, just one moment PatrickDickey and THANKS so much!! [23:24] lalondong: now lets mount sda5 and check out the filesystem > mkdir /dev/sda5 < then > mount /dev/sda5 /mnt/sda5 < [23:24] I am using a macbook and the builtin microphone and camera wont work. [23:24] Any suggestions? [23:24] PatrickDickey: http://www.realtek.com.tw/downloads/downloadsCheck.aspx?Langid=1&PNid=14&PFid=24&Level=4&Conn=3&DownTypeID=3&GetDown=false [23:24] oh shoot wrong one, sorry [23:24] Kruppt : the file are exists... so i just need to move to the -> mount /dev/sda5 /mnt/sda5 ? [23:25] oh actually that IS the right one, sorry PatrickDickey [23:25] its from their taiwan site but that's what I was told to download. it shouldn't make a difference [23:25] I'll check it out. [23:25] lalondong: yeah...now just run mount /dev/sda5 /mnt/sda5 [23:26] Kruppt : nothings happend, what next? [23:26] lalondong: now lets check filesystem size on sda5...run df -Th in root terminal [23:28] Kruppt : http://paste.ubuntu.com/5620892/ [23:28] oh PatrickDickey nevermind!! i downloaded the older one and its working. I just ran bash install and its installing [23:28] Glad to hear you got it worked out. :) [23:29] oh crap. and it returned an error as well :( [23:29] What error? [23:29] install: line 47: alsaconf: command not found [23:29] lalondong: It's not mounted type mount /dev/sda5 /mnt/sda5 then enter key [23:29] Hi everyone, i'm looking for some bash exercices to practice, could someone help me ? [23:30] it says : mount: mount point /mnt/sda5 does not exist [23:30] Kruppt : it says ; mount: mount point /mnt/sda5 does not exist [23:32] lalondong: type > mkdir /mnt/sda5;mount /dev/sda5 /mnt/sda5 then the enter key run df -Th again [23:32] Running 12.10, and the screen lock (on screensaver) no longer works .. changing settings and rebooting does nothing to help. control+alt+L still locks, but the auto-lock does nothing. Thoughts? [23:32] hmm PatrickDickey I think it actually installed anyway [23:32] Kruppt : > mkdir /mnt/sda5;mount /dev/sda5 /mnt/sda5 < all of this? [23:33] it returned that error at the end but it finished cofigure, make, and make install all on its own I think [23:33] anyone using vbox 4.2 on Ubuntu 12.10 (host)? [23:33] and lsmod seems to show new sound modules [23:34] Kruppt : http://paste.ubuntu.com/5620903/ [23:34] lalondong: mkdir /mnt/sda5;mount /dev/sda5 /mnt/sda5 <--copy and paste this in terminal then hit enter key [23:34] codephobic, there is a #vbox channel for virtualbox help. [23:34] AureliusR: if it's still not working right, you may be able to get some advice from https://help.ubuntu.com/community/HdaIntelSoundHowto [23:34] okay thanks PatrickDickey :) it installed but nothing is playing right... [23:34] wilee-nilee, I'm asking the question in there too [23:35] AureliusR: Well going by the Readme, you have to reboot. [23:35] Kruppt : http://paste.ubuntu.com/5620903/ [23:35] oh okay [23:35] wilee-nilee, thought it might be ubuntu specific, as autoload requires a script in /etc/init.d/ [23:35] brb then ;) [23:35] codephobic, may be, just wanted to see you get help. ;) [23:36] Kruppt : so have these 20 gb available? is that mean we made it ? [23:36] lalondong: ls -al /mnt/sda5 <-- copy and paste into terminal then hit enter [23:37] Kruppt : http://paste.ubuntu.com/5620908/ [23:37] i need 1 assistance please. I installed ubuntu 12.10 just now. On the boot loader i get Windows loader (/dev/sda1) and abother Windows(loader) (/dev/sda2). I dont know which one to pick, and i would like to make windows default instead of ubuntu [23:37] lalondong: yeah the filesystem resized to the partition container size [23:37] *another not abother === tjbiddle_ is now known as tjbiddle [23:37] Kruppt : so , i just need to go back to my ubunturight now? [23:38] lalondong: looks like the filesystem is in tack, all is good with the operation..Ding ;-) [23:38] Kruppt : so i'll see you on my Ubuntu right? [23:39] KornKage, you can look at the HD with gparted and see which is the main C sda1 or sda2 one might be the recovery partition. Personally I would stick with grub as a bootloader but there is easybcd [23:39] lalondong: yeah your fine, you can reboot into ubuntu on sda5 [23:40] KornKage, by windows default do you mean at the top of the grub list? [23:40] KornKage: could you pastebin /boot/grub/grub.cfg and the results of sudo fdisk -l please? That way we can see what you have on the drive. [23:40] yes wilee-nilee [23:40] hmm PatrickDickey ill try [23:40] 1 sec [23:41] I think KornKage wants it to boot to Windows if he doesn't choose something else. [23:41] KornKage, follow PatrickDickey's instructions that wil be a great help [23:41] hello, what is the quickest way to edit an icon for a program (the one which shows up in the sidebar) [23:41] yes PatrickDickey [23:42] uh oh PatrickDickey after rebooting my only audio channel available is dummy output [23:43] Pinkamena_D, you can change a icon from properties of the app and click on the icon in that gui to follow to the icon you want. [23:43] PatrickDickey pastebin.com/MAuw9nKd [23:44] what's better? using an Ubuntu server for a backup server for my Mac or using my old PowerMac G4 as a file server for my Mac? [23:45] Hi gents - I set up a CHROOT environment like 3 years ago, my box has been running great, almost 1000 days now! buttttt.. now i need to change something and of course im scratching my head. [23:45] Kruppt : Thankyou so much boss, you are a life saver, i was thinking of leaving Ubuntu and go back to Windows, it's 6:44 am right now, haven't any sleep since we're chatting, but it's worth it... Thankyou....... :D [23:45] Kruppt : Thankyou so much boss, you are a life saver, i was thinking of leaving Ubuntu and go back to Windows, it's 6:44 am right now, haven't any sleep since we're chatting, but it's worth it... Thankyou....... :D === Guest89100 is now known as Unicron [23:45] I'm really jsut looking to get CURL working inside of my chroot env [23:45] PatrickDickey 1st i don't know which one of the Windows(loader) i should choose. 2nd i would like to make it boot to windows by default. and 3rd if possible with only 1 second of choosing time in that grub boot menu(so it loads windows fast) [23:45] i copies the file, but that didn't work cause of LIB dependencies, is there any way to get curl working inside of chroot environment? === Unicron is now known as Guest18361 [23:46] KornKage: You'll want to check gparted like wilee-nilee suggested. It looks like you've got two Windows 7 drives and a Recovery drive. === Guest18361 is now known as nosferatu [23:46] ok [23:46] let me download it === nosferatu is now known as chuckfling [23:47] i installed ubuntu, and havent yet gone to windows , im just trying to be careful :) [23:47] KornKage, looks like sda1 is the boot partition and sda2 is the main C and sda3 is the recovery, but you can tell better from your end. [23:47] KornKage: https://help.ubuntu.com/community/Grub2/Setup#Configuring_GRUB_2 will help you after you figure out which one is the right loader. [23:47] sda3 is the recovery i believe(laptop) [23:47] lalondong: yeah no problem...glad to get you going [23:47] but let me install gparted [23:48] AureliusR: https://help.ubuntu.com/community/HdaIntelSoundHowto might get you going. Sorry for the delay in answering you. I thought I'd posted this one before. [23:48] KornKage: sda3 is the recovery (you're right). It looks like you have two Windows drives though sda1 and sda2. [23:49] * PatrickDickey thinks wilee-nilee is right about the boot partition on sda1 [23:49] i think he is right too sda2 has 400gb [23:49] KornKage, this a OEM install? [23:50] i bought the laptop yesterday wilee-nilee [23:50] KornKage: What you can do is reboot, and try the sda1 loader. If it boots you into Windows, then choose that one when configuring GRUB. [23:50] Kruppt : i'm new to linux so sorry i don't even understand the code and stuff... i'll learn as much as i can... but stuff you did there when making this, are so consufing... Thanks btw.. i'm going to sleep now, and you've got a new member on this channel. [23:50] windows was on it(and upgraded to windows 7 ultimate) [23:50] Bye, and good morning. [23:50] Will Ubuntu Server just not simply work with backing Macs up to it? [23:50] ill show u a pic [23:50] * AureliusR is going to try those steps, PatrickDickey ;) [23:50] anyone know about CHROOT / [23:51] ? [23:51] makson | chroot [23:51] looking to run curl inside my chroot [23:51] lalondong:we all had to start the learning curve somewhere in time.. you did good [23:52] !chroot | makson [23:52] makson: A chroot is used to make programs believe that the directory they are running in is really the root directory. It can be used to stop programs accessing files outside of that directory, or for compiling 32bit applications in a 64bit environment - see https://help.ubuntu.com/community/BasicChroot [23:52] makson: Do you have apt-get within the chroot? [23:52] http://i49.tinypic.com/vq7cih.png [23:52] Jordan_U: yes, i have apt-get, tried running curl, but got bunch of 404 errors, am i missing the mirrors maybe? [23:52] Jordan_U: i mean tried installing curl, and got the 404 errors [23:52] anyone? [23:53] KornKage: I'd say /dev/sda1 is the boot loader you want. Worse comes to worse, you try them both. [23:53] makson: Please pastebin the output of "apt-get install curl". [23:53] is this is the only way to use Ubuntu Server for backing up your Mac(s) http://kremalicious.com/ubuntu-as-mac-file-server-and-time-machine-volume/#netatalk1 ? [23:53] Macuser: Looking at the link I gave you, if Apple added the undocumented API's, then probably not. Otherwise, you should try the steps in it, and see what happens. [23:53] KornKage, your boot flag is on sda1 however the sda2 may have all the bootfiles as well, the good thing is that you can probably run the recovery through sda1 if needed. [23:53] KornKage: PatrickDickey: Grub's boot sector should always be installed to the MBR, never to any partition. [23:54] PatrickDickey: well the steps don't sound easy. So I assume that you cannot just start using Ubuntu Server without doing anything else to it for backing you Mac up to it? [23:54] (windows was already installed when i installed ubuntu) [23:54] Macuser: Here's where I got the results from https://www.google.com/webhp?sourceid=chrome-instant&ion=1&ie=UTF-8#hl=en&sclient=psy-ab&q=backing%20mac%20up%20to%20linux%20server&oq=&gs_l=&pbx=1&fp=a720ab43687f831b&ion=1&bav=on.2,or.r_qf.&bvm=bv.43828540,d.aWM&biw=1375&bih=806 [23:55] PatrickDickey: yeah I typed that as well [23:55] so it's not meant to be easy [23:55] Macuser: There might be a better tutorial somewhere. But no, I'd say unless they both are using the same protocol to talk, they won't just work. [23:55] and apparently, it's "hacking" since it's not supposed to happen [23:55] ok thanks [23:55] Jordan_U: http://pastebin.com/6WVWRKV8 [23:55] I may try using my old PowerMac G4 instead. it seems like it would be the best thing to do [23:56] Macuser: you could also check into CrashPlan. That's what I've used for backing up linux to linux, and I think it has an Apple version. [23:56] ugh i hate CrashPlan. I don't use online backing up/"clouds" [23:56] Jordan_U: that was apt-get update, standby [23:57] Macuser: You don't have to do it online. It will back up to another computer on your local network. [23:57] ? how so [23:57] i bet it wouldn't back my Mac up to an ubuntu desktop [23:57] or windows computer [23:57] Jordan_U: http://pastebin.com/k7n43t5y there you go. [23:58] Install it on both computers. On the "server" you select the location for the backups. On the "client" you use the key that is provided on the "Server" version. [23:58] http://www.crashplan.com/consumer/thankyou.html?os=Mac Macuser [23:58] KornKage: PatrickDickey: Looking back through the entire conversation, I agree that trying both entries probably can't hurt (as long as you don't actually choose to do any "recovery" if one of the entries is for a recovery partition). [23:59] KornKage: Jordan_U the recovery is another menu entry altogether in Grub (at least as far as I read from grub.cfg).
