[00:00] CrownWheel: do you have keyboard during grub? [00:00] SonikkuAmerica: I forewarned that I was not really following [00:00] True [00:00] Ben64: unfortunately is the same, was it all written well up there ? [00:00] Ben64, I don't get a grub (or boot:) prompt. I do from the Live USB stick... [00:00] (I mean a boot: prompt. Close paren... ) [00:01] Tiitus: okay, so your hardware works [00:01] CrownWheel: well its installed now, so you must have grub (mash shift key to see it during boot) [00:01] Tiitus: you can chroot into your system and manipulate grub from there [00:01] ah. shift key. thanks. [00:02] kriskropd: what should i search for a guide like that, to "chroot" [00:02] Ben64: Mash it? I didn't think we had to be so violent. === daniel is now known as Guest55402 [00:02] Ben64, score. Yes, kbd works in grub prompt. [00:02] SonikkuAmerica, oh, it be mashed. [00:02] Tiitus: just google for "fixing grub via chroot" or something - i gtg [00:02] kriskropd: ty [00:02] CrownWheel: Well, now that SHIFT is a bunch of plastic shards... we now know that works at least. [00:03] *that IT works [00:03] don't worry. this keyboard has a redundant shift key over on the right. I'll be ok. [00:03] :) [00:03] CrownWheel: you could try booting into text mode from grub, see if you can type there [00:03] So...now what? "recovery mode"? I don't actually know what that laods. [00:03] !text [00:03] To start your system in text-only mode append 'text' (without the quotes) to the kernel line in the grub menu. You can access the grub menu by pressing Esc (Grub legacy) or Shift (Grub2) during boot. For more info see https://help.ubuntu.com/community/BootOptions#Text%20Mode [00:03] I have been trying to get my audio working since I upgraded to Ubuntu12. I now can see my sound card as an option in System Settings. The Analog output works. The digital does not. It doesn't really let me select it. I ran pacmd list-sinks from the CLI and I see 3 sinks, none of which are my digital out. Any suggestions? [00:04] a'ight...recoverizing. [00:04] maestrojed: Are you using Pulse Audio? [00:04] Ben64, no dice. KBD lights went out. And...can't move in the menu. [00:04] SonikkuAmerica I am willing to use whatever, and I am not positive. But it seems like that, yes. [00:05] I've set up a pptpd server and I can connect to it from an iphone, but I can't connect to anything outside my network. What might I be doing wrong? [00:05] maestrojed: Try [ sudo apt-get install pavucontrol ], then run it (type [ pavucontrol ]) and adjust the volume there. [00:06] SuperGauntlet, is the using the correct gateway? [00:06] *the server, that is. === Copper_ is now known as Guest5366 [00:06] I have a feeling it's not routing properly through my gateway but i checked /etc/ppp/pptpd-options and the ms-dns appears to be the right one [00:07] CrownWheel: I think that might be it but I don't know if I'm checking in the right place [00:07] SonikkuAmerica "pavucontrol is already the newest version." when I just run "pavucontrol" it acts like it needs another argument. But I also don't think the proper output is even selected right now. === soahccc is now known as wijoiqwjdoajdoaj [00:08] question : I am cp a few gigs to a smb share though a gui cp and would like to do it from the konsole [00:08] hi! okular is not displaying epub files properly. The text is overlapped. There are many pages is only one. How can it be fixed? === wijoiqwjdoajdoaj is now known as obama [00:08] CrownWheel: any ideas on where else to look? === obama is now known as soahccc [00:08] maestrojed: maybe run [ alsamixer ]? [00:09] SuperGauntlet, working on it. not reported by ifconfig.... [00:09] okay [00:09] SonikkuAmerica I have, my sound card is an option but it still does't do the correct output [00:09] huh. route -n does it. [00:09] maestrojed: Where does it output to? [00:10] huh [00:10] SuperGauntlet, now, somebody with a better memory will have to tell you which /etc/network thing to edit to set it to where it should be. [00:10] if I do route -n, it shows interface tun0 as using gateway 0.0.0.0 [00:11] SonikkuAmerica In the options of output devices, there is my sound card analog and my sound card digital. The analog works, The digital one is listed but I can't really select it. alsamixer will work on analog, makes no mention of digital [00:12] maestrojed: And why do you need the digital audio if the analog works? [00:12] SuperGauntlet, well, like I say, that sounds like an incorrect gateway... [00:12] yeah i figured as much [00:13] I just don't know how to edit the tun0 interface to use 192.168.1.1 as a gateway [00:13] or rather [00:13] my bad [00:13] tun0 is openvpn [00:13] SonikkuAmerica Well the only thing this computer does is play music through a high quality home hifi system. Its a great sound card. If its not going to be digital that would just be a shame. Ditigal worked great in Ubuntu10 before I upgraded [00:13] ppp0 is the interface i want to route to 192.168.1.1, it's currently using 0.0.0.0 [00:14] Ben64: if it didn work all i have left is to get live cd and access my drive to copy all the stuffon it , right ? [00:14] maestrojed: What kind of audio hardware? Ubuntu 12.04 might just be too new for it. [00:15] * MidnightSun99 Picture of my ex-girlfriend naked: http://imagetwist.com/9au1ada5n7nu [00:15] SonikkuAmerica Asus Xonar DX. That is my fear. Just sucks cause I asked all kinds of people and read posts that said it would work. I tried to make sure before hand :) [00:15] Ben64: How come when I run parted magic to "erase disk" one of my ibm e326 servers can erase @ 60mb/s, where my other server can erase only at 2mb/s. they are identical in hardware configuration, not sure why this one is so much slower... [00:15] SuperGauntlet, this dates from 2008, but might still apply: http://www.itworld.com/change-ip-address-linux-system-nlsunix-080612 === akar1m is now known as zz_akar1m [00:16] lop: yeah [00:16] But I don't know whether the ppp and tun interfaces can be set the same way... [00:16] Tiiitus: do you mean parted or partition magic [00:16] CrownWheel: what exactly would I do? [00:16] How do you find out what drivers are being used on a sound card? [00:17] Ben64: partition magic** [00:17] actually wait it is parted magic [00:17] they are both using 2x 73gb 10k rpm scsi drives [00:17] maestrojed: One sec... [00:17] i used the same parted magic cd in both cases [00:17] dunno what that is [00:18] it's the only program that will get passed the hard drives if they have been locked by a corporation [00:18] Ben64: thank ben, i won go around removing things with sudo anymore :) thats kinda stupid [00:22] I've just installed ubuntu on a vps. I'm completely noob on unix, so, other than creating an user and using it (instead of root), is there any thing I must do to keep order?

"Checking Battery State... [OK]" _ [02:07] MoPac, Forever, and ever.. [02:07] hi! Could someone please tell me how I could make a usb pen drive on a fedora system?

[02:07] I've downloaded the ubuntu desktop live iso [02:07] and need to install it on my netbook using a pen drive [02:07] would direct dd work? [02:07] FranciscoD: unetbootin? [02:08] !find unetbootin [02:08] Found: unetbootin, unetbootin-translations [02:08] MoPac: ah, is that the only way? I had assumed a direct dd would work [02:08] FranciscoD: I actually prefer running Yumi in wine for making my USBs [02:08] yumi? [02:08] how do I know my partition resizing is working? I am installing this darn ubuntu in hebrew, and I can barely speak it myself, and so its concerning me why its taking 20 minutes to resize the windows partition to install ubuntu. [02:08] is this normal? [02:09] MoPac, It's really the only thing that shows up in a normal boot. [02:09] FranciscoD: I don't think just having a .iso file on a USB is the same thing as putting a CD or DVD in. You need software to make the USB bootable [02:09] MoPac: well, fedora isos are hybrid [02:09] paul_: So it shows up immediately after your bios, with no Ubuntu stuff in between? [02:09] so you can just dd them to the pen drive, and they'll boot [02:09] MoPac, Yeah [02:09] FranciscoD: Maybe that's true, then. My only experience is with making multi-boot USBs, so maybe I over-complicate [02:09] <|Xenom|> Hi all, I am looking for a start-to-finish guide for server clustering and virtualization. I am slightly above novice (compared to most of the experts in here), any help is greatly appreciated (nothing useful was found on Google..) [02:10] paul_: Do you have a live USB of Ubuntu you can boot from? [02:10] MoPac: I'll try unetbootin and see if it works. Thanks [02:10] in the terminal, I don't see any particularly important errors, and it does seem to still be running... [02:10] MoPac, I used Wubi :( [02:11] paul_: yucky slow [02:11] Akiva-Mobile, What's wrong with wubi? [02:12] hey is it possible to replace android on a phone with ubuntu? [02:12] paul_: You could easily make a live USB on whatever computer you're using now [02:12] MoPac, I don't have a usb stick with me [02:12] paul_: The main drawback is that you install ubuntu on a ntfs filesystem, the same one used by windows. [02:12] Akiva-Mobile, Is that slower? [02:12] paul_: That would be my advice: get a live system, USB or CD, boot from that, and then repair in it [02:12] paul_: Generally, yes. === hakunin_ is now known as hakunin [02:12] how do you rat proof a linux box [02:13] paul_: Ahh wait, so you're normally trying to run Ubuntu from within Windows? [02:13] MoPac, Not within, it's installed on the same hard drive [02:13] paul_: EXT4 is generally the speediest of the filesystems available for linux at the moment. Hopefully, BTRFS might catch up [02:13] <|Xenom|> wombledom, Ubuntu touch is available for a small number of devices, such as the Samsung Galaxy Nexus... however, it is a developer build.. [02:13] btrfs is similar I hear to zfs. [02:13] okay [02:13] Akiva-Mobile, How much of a difference does it make? [02:13] paul_: I don't know if running the Wubi installer again has a repair mode? [02:14] paul_: It depends how rough of shape your ntfs file system is in. [02:14] I don't care if it doesn't have phone features, I want to use my old phone as a server, but I do have debian running side-by-side with android right now so that's fine for now [02:14] MoPac, I'll try it [02:14] to me, it feels around 40 percent slower with some operations. [02:16] MoPac: well, unetbootin on fedora doesn't seem to work [02:16] not on fedora at leasat [02:17] the "drive" drop down is empty [02:17] good evening; has anyone used playonlinux to play windws version of fallout new vegas?? [02:17] paul_: If there's no repair mode with your current installer, and you can't boot the OS, then you need to mount your Ubuntu filesystem somehow to repair it. The easiest way to do this is to use a live CD/USB . From there, you can bind actions to happen in your normal filesystem (an example is http://askubuntu.com/questions/28099/how-to-restore-a-system-after-accidentally-removing-all-kernels ) [02:18] paul_: Another option that you might have is to try to mount your Ubuntu filesystem partition in Windows using an ext2 driver like ext2fsd. If your linux filesystem is ext2, then it can read and write. With ext3 it can read and force write. I'm not sure what the score is with ext4 or btrfs [02:19] MoPac, How do I mount it? [02:19] MoPac, I think I just want to grab some files off of it and then install using a live usb. [02:20] paul_: you need to install ext2fsd in windows and follow its instructions [02:20] paul_: your Ubuntu install isn't LUKS-encrypted, is it? [02:21] MoPac, I didn't encrypt anything [02:21] does Ubuntu have a GUI frontend to grub? === g_byers is now known as gbyers[Away] [02:25] boole, like when you boot up? mine does [02:25] Hi how do you install steam in 12.10?

[02:29] paul_: it's not a partition - it's a file /ubuntu/disks/root.disk [02:29] tunnelguy: google via https [02:29] tunnelguy: probably a result of https everywhere in firefox [02:29] Hey guys is it possible to run windows server 2008 and then install ubuntu or fedora afterwards without having major anticipated problems [02:30] paul_: bcbc2: This is what I was confused about, since it's a wubi installation. Has he actually created a partition, or is the whole thing just in a big file within Windows, like with a virtual machine? [02:30] Tiitus what do you mean? [02:30] Tiitus: I dunno about WS2008, but dual boot works for a lot of people, including me [02:31] MoPac: paul_: the partition is virtual, a loop device - Ubuntu runs natively [02:31] !dualboot | Tiitus [02:31] Tiitus: Dual boot instructions: x86/AMD64: https://help.ubuntu.com/community/DualBoot/Windows - Macs: https://help.ubuntu.com/community/MacBookPro https://help.ubuntu.com/community/YabootConfigurationForMacintoshPowerPCsDualBoot [02:31] umib0zu: I did not set up partitions, ive got 2 73gb ssci's running though, thought if i just tried to instsall ubuntu directly i'd have issues [02:31] bcbc2: over my head, then [02:31] thanks for the info [02:31] paul_: what are you trying to do? [02:32] bcbc2: paul_ is trying to recover an unbootable Ubuntu installation after he installed some kind of kde [02:32] bcbc2, It is nice to see you here I direct people here at times to the UF for help on issues on wubi. :) [02:32] hey wilee-nilee :) [02:32] bcbc2: he can't get past boot; gets only an orange asterisk. So proximately what I'm trying to help him do is mount that filesystem somehow so he can try to repair it [02:33] bcbc2: I've suggested putting ext2fsd on Windows and seeing if he can mount the file or partition... he doesn't have a live CD/DVD/USB handy with Linux on it [02:33] bcbc2, I fucked it up somehow, I thought it might be because of a package I installed but then I read that hard shutting it down (whatever that term is) could ruin the system. I think that might be what happened [02:34] Would anyone mind helping me out with something? [02:34] paul_, no cursing here [02:34] I somehow disabled the unity interface [02:34] The taskbar is gone [02:34] asdfkds, ask an actual question with details [02:34] paul_: I'd start by running chkdsk /f from windows. That's the host filesystem and it rules out or corrects corruption due to hard shutdown [02:34] I did this while selecting an option in compiz... How would I re enable it? [02:35] paul_: after that, if you still have issues, you might have to fsck the root.disk, but that requires a CD/USB [02:35] bazhang, sorry :( [02:35] The unity interface, the taskbar, all that business. How do I re enable it? [02:36] bcbc2, I'm just going to grab files and delete the install. [02:36] bazhang, would you happen to know anything about compiz disabling taskbars or anything? or how to re enable them? [02:36] asdfkds, this was after checking something in ccsm? [02:36] paul_: I've used ext2read to get readonly access to the root.disk from windows: http://sourceforge.net/projects/ext2read/files/ [02:36] Yes. [02:36] asdfkds: do you have the ccsm application? [02:36] Unchecking precisely. It said something about disabling nautlius...something something. And yes I do [02:37] asdfkds: So you should be able to start ccsm, then click on Unity and re-check it from inside the plugin screen [02:37] asdfkds, why not launch ccsm and uncheck them one by one, unless you can remember which exact feature you enabled [02:37] It's actually something I UN checked. In a pop up. [02:42] bcbc2, thanks for the link to that program, worked well! Off to find a flash drive! [02:42] paul_: great! [02:43] bcbc2: You wouldn't happen to have any expertise with apt-preferences, would you? [02:43] MoPac: nope [02:44] Sigh. Dying to figure out how to increase a repository's priority and leave the universe version lower [02:45] MoPac: don't you just make the version higher in the ppa? [02:46] bcbc2: it's a "lower" version than the universe one, so apt-get is obsessed with using the universe version [02:46] guys how come it's so freaking complicated to get a live usb to work for god sakes, ive tried 3 different programs and nothing seems to work, I'm trying to get fedora going but my servers have cd rom only, can't use dvds and it seeems usb is failing too [02:46] How would I do a network install? [02:47] fedora is 900mb and won't fit on a cd, so i need someone to help me mount a live usb correctly bcause whatever im doing is clearly not working - thank you [02:48] Tiitus, have you tried the fedora usb loader download https://fedoraproject.org/wiki/How_to_create_and_use_Live_USB [02:48] Tiitus: are there any errors? [02:49] no errors, it just won't load from the usb even when it's chosen as the first boot [02:49] loops in the bios ( no o/s installed yet) [02:49] ill try that link first, thanks [02:49] Tiitus, There is a outside the bios bot from menu are you familiar with getting there? [02:49] *boot [02:49] GreetingS! [02:50] theres 2 bios' ive been in [02:50] it's an e326 ibm 8848 that im using [02:50] Tiitus, Read my question again this has nothing to do with the bios. [02:50] Is there easy way, to get /var/mail dir (of sendmail) via web, e.g. like squirellmail, but without any imap and pop3 servers? [02:51] ok peeps. i need some help trying to get ubuntu to install on my win7 machine. it wont work if i do a direct download from the site and use the windows installer, ive tried pendrive's usb program and ive tried ISOtoUSB. all to no avail [02:51] MoPac: sorry can't help. I've pinned packages using synaptic before, but it doesn't apply to apt-get [02:52] DarkDAddyT, Have you configured your boot sequence in the bios. Make sure your pen drive shows up as the first device. [02:52] Also, is there any packages like webmin? [02:52] wilee-nilee: not quite sure how to get there i guess, let me try the loader first i'll see if that works [02:52] paul: of course [02:52] Tiitus, On computers there is a boot from menu not in the bios reached with a key or set of key prompts at powering on. Mine is f12, yours may be that or f9 or esc or a different key. [02:52] !ebox | debiantoruser [02:52] every time i build a new machine i set it for usb then cd then hdd [02:52] debiantoruser: zentyal is a web-based GUI interface for administering a server. It is designed to work with Ubuntu/Debian style configuration management. See https://help.ubuntu.com/community/Zentyal (Project formally known as eBox - including in Lucid/10.04). [02:53] wilee-nilee: There's the f1 menu, f12 and also the DEL menu, ive been using the DEL menu to select boot order === RobbyF is now known as RobbyF2 [02:53] Tiitus, and that is the bios correct? [02:53] wilee-nilee: f1 menu has nothing i can change, f12 has nothing to do with boot [02:54] paul: at the post, it tells me error: no configuration file found. no default or ui directive found [02:54] wilee-nilee: yes [02:54] ubottu, only zentyal? why webmin doesn't submitted? [02:54] debiantoruser: I am only a bot, please don't think I'm intelligent :) [02:55] bazhang, only zentyal? why webmin doesn't submitted? [02:55] !webmin | debiantoruser [02:55] debiantoruser: webmin is no longer supported in Debian and Ubuntu. It is not compatible with the way that Ubuntu packages handle configuration files, and is likely to cause unexpected issues with your system. [02:55] Tiitus, Cool, we want to bypass the bios, your computer has a boot from menu that can be prompted with the right key or keys pressed at powering on, you just have to find what it is. I will google your computer model to find out if you like. [02:56] wilee-nilee: ok, so yeah its ibm e326 "8848" running 2xamd248 and 73gb 10k rpm scsi's === te is now known as vfw [03:00] Happy birthday ~~~ William Gibson ~~~ [03:01] helo ?! helo ? helo ? [03:01] bazhang, any thing else like webmin? [03:02] MonitorX [03:02] http://www.monitorix.org/ [03:02] check it debiantoruser [03:04] Are there any ways to install Oracle 11g on my Ubuntu 12.04 machine [03:04] Tiitus, I can't seem to find a link. When I get a new computer I just power on and starting with one end of the f keys just sweep left or to the right to see which one is the key for the menu, if I can't find it on the web. I think the problem with using the bios is fast boot setups which don't see cd's or usb at times. [03:05] wilee-nilee: ok, i appreciate you trying, ill see what i can do ! [03:05] Tiitus, to use your USB. You need to go to your BIOS settings and change the First device to USB-FDD. [03:05] Tiitus, to use your USB. You need to go to your BIOS settings and change the First device to USB-FDD.

[03:45] Well the home part of the Unity dash seems pretty useless because I can't modify its contents. How do I remove it? [03:46] paul_: I thought a usb was required. That or an SD card. [03:46] robertzaccour: unity is not something that is overly customizable.. did you literaly just install? maybe just give it a few days and see what you want/need [03:47] robertzaccour, Nope! If you want to install it on the same system you can just install it to your hard drive, boot into unetbootin when you restart. So cool! [03:48] bonne nuit / good night [03:49] I had back luck with saving the links to recomended books I was given the other day. Does anyone here know of any good books for learning ins and outs of the Terminal (Linux Administration)? [03:49] TechieOfficer: this channel is logged [03:50] holstein: I put it so nothing gets saved on this computer. [03:50] TechieOfficer, http://www.tldp.org/LDP/sag/html/index.html [03:51] TechieOfficer: this channel is logged, and gets "saved"... so you can recall the conversation you had [03:51] If I put my Ubuntu box between my modem and my router (2 NICs), is it any use to try and use HD caching for better performance? Seems like I can't effectively stream Netflix and watch Youtube at the same time, even though I have bandwidth to burn. I've tried QOS within the router, and it didn't do much. [03:52] TechieOfficer: i just started using it.. next time you want to do anything, try and do it in the terminal.. simple file manipulation. irc chat.. downloading a file.. whatever [03:53] litropy, can you explain that a little further... I doubt the router is adding that much overhead when repackaging the frames to cause any significant delay. What type of router? [03:53] litropy: i would do more testing.. youtube is using flash. could have nothing to do with your networking or speeds [03:56] holstein: I can do basic things, but researching each thing I do takes longer than reading a full guide. [03:57] twist3d, holstein, it's a D-Link DIR-655. I can watch both at the same time, it's just slow. I was just using that as an example. Essentially, Netflix + anything = slowness, or, for instance, when I'm downloading ubuntu via torrent, the network just clogs up. Netflix trickles, so does the torrent. [03:57] TechieOfficer: there are plenty of "guides".. depending on what you are doing, none should go out of date too fast. still, i would suggest learning by doing.

[04:03] 'update-alternatives: error: no alternatives for x-cursor-theme' [04:03] I tried reinstalling x11-apps. But that didn't help... [04:04] so basicly I'm trying to restore my default behavior after I messed up with another windows manager [04:04] L8D: i would test as another user, and go from there [04:04] sergy: you have the ubuntu-desktop metapackage installed? [04:05] What do you mean? That wouldn't help. It's system-wide package/file. [04:05] let me check [04:05] re nexus 7 to have it seen by 12.04 but: the ubuntu maching is isolated from the internet so i have to download what is needed and bring it to it. [04:05] It's a* [04:05] L8D: cool.. wait patiently for another volunteer then.. .cheers! [04:06] holstein: yes I do [04:06] sergy, do you have backups? [04:07] My problem is, the file '/etc/alternatives/x-cursor-theme' has been deleted. [04:07] L8D, do you have backups? [04:07] And I have no idea how to recover it... [04:07] L8D: live cd? another install? [04:07] twist3d: Unfortunately, no. [04:07] twist3d: No But I can try [04:07] This is an almost fresh install [04:07] Something [04:07] L8D, before you begin troubleshooting.... conduct a backup now [04:07] sergy: What is the bad behavior that you're seeing? [04:07] twist3d: I am [04:08] L8D: im suggesting to try and recover the file from a live CD, or another install [04:08] But, can you upload your /etc/alternatives/x-cursor-theme if you're running ubuntu/debian? [04:08] L8D, did you chck /var/log/ for any related log files that may give you some insight? [04:08] That would save me a lot of time... [04:09] twist3d: Couldn [04:09] Couldn't find anything [04:09] sergy: you tried something like sudo dpkg-reconfigure lightdm ? [04:09] MoPac: Ok after I installed the new windows manager which is didn't work corectly It's abviously starting automaticly so I don't get starting screen of lightdm [04:10] holstein: Should I try? [04:10] L8D: i dont have that file [04:10] Wat? [04:10] sergy: if you havent, that should set lightdm back [04:10] try `cat /etc/alternatives/x-cursor-theme` [04:10] L8D, after installing the theme did you .... sudo update-alternatives --config x-cursor-theme [04:10] I'm having a problem where my internal speakers work but not my headphones. I'm trying to install alsa-hda-dkms from the alsa-daily ppa but it says the 3.7.0-7 kernel is unsupported. Any idea what kernel I should update to? [04:11] L8D: when i look in /etc/alternatives i have no "x-cursor-theme" there [04:11] hostein Let me try .. [04:11] Or alternatively, other ideas on fixing the sound issue. [04:11] twist3d: That's when I first found out. And then, later when updating, I came to it as a problem. [04:11] Fsmv: i would try a newer kernel from a live CD.. then you dont "Break" anything testing [04:11] twist3d, it's an odd setup. Two DIR-655s. I'm in a huge house, so I have a modem connected to a DIR-655#1 router, and since the DIR-655#2's software doesn't support wireless repeating, and can't be flashed with, for instance, dd-wrt, I've got an ubuntu box receiving my DIR-655#1's wireless signal, and then it sends the DIR-655#2. [04:12] L8D, did you reboot prior to running the command.. have you tried re-downloading and re-installing the theme? [04:12] holstein: Can you even run the code: "sudo update-alternatives --config x-cursor-theme"? [04:13] holstein: Can I just install newer kernels while on a live CD? Don't you have to restart and lose everything in the RAM for that? [04:13] twist3d: Yes I have...But so far, it doesn't seem like the theme caused the probelm. X-cursor-theme is a standard in debian and ubuntu [04:13] litropy, are you using ipv4/ipv6 packet kernel forwarding or are you manually routing all traffic to the second router [04:14] Fsmv: no, but you should find live CD's with different kernels.. i try older ones too [04:14] Where can I get older Ubuntu isos? [04:14] Okay, I'm grabbing a copy from a Live CD... [04:15] txt2311: what are you looking for? i usually just search for them by name... [04:16] holstein: I want to get all older ISO of Ubuntu. We are creating a powerpoint of Ubuntu's timeline for class. [04:16] I was gonna make screenshots of progress of Ubuntu [04:17] twist3d, I just used the GUI, went into Network > Wired > IPv4 Settings > Method: Shared to other computers. IPV6 is set to automatic. [04:17] txt2311: i just search "download ubuntu 8.04" or whatever.. usually there are archives [04:18] holstein: Ok. Thanks [04:18] litropy, so you actually sharing your ubuntu's box's internet connection with router #2 , which then forwards all traffic on router #2's network through the ubuntu box's internet connection to router #1? [04:18] twist3d, correct. [04:19] txt2311: http://old-releases.ubuntu.com/releases/edgy/ for example [04:20] litropy, oh my.

Your internet connection does not matter if you are processing a large amount of data across a NIC that cannot handle the traffic. [04:24] holstein: And it frezes :| [04:24] litropy, regardless of what you pay for, router 2 will never get any more bandwidth than the ubuntu box can support [04:25] sergy: how did it not work? did it offer to reconfigure the login manager? can you get into x? [04:25] if you do choose to run in this configuration, you need to run cable from your ubuntu box to router 1 and then cable from your ubuntu box to router 2. You can check the performance increase by running a cable from your ubuntu box to router 1 and re run the speed test [04:26] litropy, I have seen dramatic speed increases when its going across a wire. If you do not want to run cable there are other alternatives like adapters that route traffic across your home's power connection. You can find them online easily.

[05:48] Thank you will --- [05:49] all I need to do is run like 3 commands against the installed system (but with it not booted up or mounted) [05:49] ClientAlive, here is a cheat, this is for chrooting in to change grub it is one single command check it out. http://howtoubuntu.org/how-to-repair-restore-reinstall-grub-2-with-a-ubuntu-live-cd/ [05:50] right on [05:50] same chroot it sets you as root in the OS [05:51] is there a limit on rm -rf file*? like 15k might cause a problem? lol [05:52] what would I mount in my case though? For me it is raid across 3 disks, then lvm from vol group to logical vol (the system itself is installed on a logical volume). [05:52] I don't think ti [05:53] it's gonna be anything like /dev/sdax for me [05:53] Cyclohexane, lol you can ran that command in the right way a wipe everything [05:54] ClientAlive, I'm not familiar with other then msdos setups [05:54] oh, ok [05:54] Cyclohexane: yes, usually it doesn't expand into an infinitely long list of files. limit differs between shells I'd imagine. [05:55] maybe I'lll just /dev/zero it far enough in on each disk to wipe out all that accounting data stuff === while1eq1_ is now known as while1eq1 [05:59] i have a video capture device attached via USB. it's kinda working with mplayer with "mplayer tv:// -tv driver=v4l2:input=0:norm=ntsc", but when i add audio, it gets skippy and slows and speeds the video. was looking at avconv, but it wants a device (right?) how do i find the /dev where the capture device has been added? [06:00] hello, i created PXE server for ubuntu 12.04 installation, and i am trying to start the ubuntu installer in VMware (host machine is Windows 8), after the kernel loads, it throws me to the (initramfs) error with BusyBox error, [06:01] same PXE server hosts Red Hat Enterprise Linux 6.0 and Fedora 18, which can boot properly and the installer starts normally [06:01] MrHanjrah: do you need to mod the .iso? [06:01] mod? [06:02] MrHanjrah: sorry 'Modify' the grub from raw iso? [06:02] So I installed Linux Mint. However, when I restart it takes me to the Windows Boot Loader instead of Grub. I only have a 128mb flash drive, how do I fix this? [06:02] and yes, the srever itself is Arch Linux box [06:02] ! isomaster | MrHanjrah [06:02] Hey guys [06:03] i have a quick question [06:03] :( [06:03] im running unity2d, and im trying to get the top panel to be transparent, is there anyway [06:03] woo: I am not sure if i need to modify the grub entry because other OS iso's boot properly [06:03] I just upgraded drivers from additional drivers, but it says I have 3D support, but i am not able to run unity 3d [06:04] MrHanjrah: is it install on the Arch box? or is it raw? [06:05] greetings i was wondering i have changed a few things on my distro and if i update to the newest version i will have to remove it again what are the adverse affects fro not updating with new distro releases [06:07] woo: ok, i'll tell the scenerio, I have 4 Operating system ISO's (rhel6, fedora18, ubuntu 12.04, Lubuntu 12.04) which are on the Arch box as is it (in ISO format) and which are mounted via fstab (so that they get mounted automatically on every reboot), i have Syslinux packages which is use as a menu for PXE server, and all the MOUNTED iso's are shared via nfs [06:07] witeds, your description would be more helpful if you were specific for example what release are you running and what apps. [06:07] or what changes [06:07] how can I uninstall libreoffice 4 and goback to the one in ubuntu's repository? [06:08] rhel6 and Fedora18 are configured the same way as ubuntu and Lubuntu 12.04 but the problem is that both rhel and fedora iso's boot properly in a VM but *ubuntu iso's put me at the (initramfs) prompt [06:08] MrHanjrah: could you steal an fstab from a live ubuntu session? [06:08] woo: already on it [06:08] jony, Does it show in the software center, how did you install it? [06:09] MrHanjrah: do the fstabs match the arch? [06:09] well lubuntu 12.10 i removed things like chrome browser if i update to 13.04 when it comes out i usualy have to do it by disk and install it so the lubuntu-desktop and all the extra stuff i dont realy want is reinstalled [06:09] is there any downsides to not updating with your distribution [06:09] woo: and booting directly from ubuntu iso boots fine in a VM [06:10] wilee-nilee, I downloaded from the libreoffise site, unpacked, had many deb files, then: sudo dpkg -i *.deb [06:10] witeds, there is a end of life on all releases as of now, after EOL you will have the security updates and others as well. [06:11] ok so you can only go so far that helps thanks [06:11] MrHanjrah: and its not the virtual disk grub messing with you then; is the vmware code? [06:12] jony, Does it show in the ubuntu software center? [06:12] yes, in the history all those packages [06:12] woo: its VMware Workstation 9 [06:12] witeds, I left out the NO security updates is what I meant [06:13] wilee-nilee, yes, in the history all those packages [06:13] wilee-nilee, no, sorry, it shows only the ubuntu's version [06:13] jony, remove it from there, then run a install from the terminal sudo apt-get install libreoffice [06:13] MrHanjrah: did you try lubuntu or another not gnome3 ubuntu flavor? [06:14] woo: Lubuntu is the same [06:14] jony, Ah I see, I'm not sure on removing it otherwise, sorry. [06:14] stuck at (initramfs) [06:14] MrHanjrah: Lubuntu is up? [06:14] MrHanjrah: ya thats a ubuntu issue if the other os's are up and responding. [06:15] yes so you can only go so far before you have to update for the security benefit hence you can only take it so far [06:15] woo: yes, rhel6 (gnome 2) and fedora (gnome 3) are fine, the installer boots as it should [06:15] witeds, Not sure if you know this but 12.04 is covered for 5 years [06:16] MrHanjrah: see im not very good at this I would just load 10.04 and update [06:16] yes i know [06:16] MrHanjrah: might lead you back to busybox [06:17] woo: i guess something is wrong with the configuration of PXE server itself, because if the iso can boot directly, it should boot from the PXE because PXE itself is holding the same image file [06:18] i was just trying to find out if it would be better to update with the distribution when it comes and i am ready for it or to stick with my current setup and what would be an issue if i didn't update and you answered that and i am thank full [06:20] MrHanjrah: I would try it from a live puppy linux session on the windows machine and see if it worked that way too [06:22] ! ot | woo ./sorry [06:22] woo ./sorry: #ubuntu is the Ubuntu support channel, for all Ubuntu-related support questions.

[06:27] How do I stop nmap from giving up my localhost name? [06:28] how do I authorize ubuntu to access my facebook account? [06:31] god damit lol! the top panel has transparency when im using the launcher (looking at apps) [06:31] but i cant just set it to always be like that >.< [06:31] ! language | psilocybinn [06:31] psilocybinn: Please watch your language and topic to help keep this channel family-friendly, polite, and professional.

All I get now is a desktop, with no unity; help! [06:33] Akiva-Mobile: type man unity [06:34] Akiva-Mobile: did it work? [06:34] nop [06:34] nope. [06:34] Akiva-Mobile: is it installed? [06:34] Yep. [06:34] woo, re: nmap giving up the hostname, how do you mean? [06:34] pppZero: local area hostnames [06:34] woo, This is a fresh install of ubuntu, just trying to get it setup for a friend [06:35] wilee-nilee, I managed to remove it [06:35] Akiva-Mobile: if "man unity" didn't work try sudo apt-get install uni(TAB KEY) [06:36] Akiva-Mobile: wait [06:36] Akiva-Mobile: does "which unity" work? [06:36] jony, Cool. :) [06:36] woo sec [06:36] nope [06:37] woo, `nmap -n ` will scan without looking up hostnames [06:37] all I see is a little box in the right bottom corner [06:37] Akiva-Mobile: ya unistalled itself :) [06:37] why? [06:37] bloody ati drivers. [06:37] glad I have intel on my lappy. [06:37] anyone know if transparency works with MetaCity on Unity2d/? [06:37] Akiva-Mobile: did it to me once. had to use the failsafe session to restore the old video driver [06:37] just for the top panel [06:37] wilee-nilee, sudo apt-get autoremove sudo apt-get purge libreoffice* sudo apt-get autocleansudo apt-get autoremove === Kitar|st_ is now known as Kitar|st [06:37] Akiva-Mobile: I think it works if you reinstall unity [06:38] wile [06:38] woo sudo apt-get install unity? [06:38] wilee-nilee, and after that sudo apt-get install libreoffice [06:38] pppZero: ya I dont want it found [06:38] Akiva-Mobile: do you have ubuntu center? [06:38] jony, I wondered if a standard purge would do it, makes sense with the type of install. [06:38] Akiva-Mobile: or is it in a terminal session? [06:39] woo all I have is a wallpaper on f7, and a terminal in f1 through f6 [06:40] and unity is already installed :P [06:40] how can I crypt a folder to access it only by entering a password [06:40] I just checked... [06:40] jony, I use trucrypt to make crypt, then put it in a folder. [06:41] Akiva-Mobile: on sec [06:41] Akiva-Mobile: I want to check my thought process :) [06:41] I used to love amd :( [06:42] Akiva-Mobile: It did it to my nvidia === IboS_ is now known as IboS [06:42] woo, easiest way is to setup iptables to drop (not block) all incomming connections - but then you have to allow incoming connections on anything you actually want to use (ie: ssh) - if you want to be really-really stealth, look into port knocking [06:43] jony: file oriented solutions: encfs (fuse-based), eCryptfs (kernel driver based) [06:43] Akiva-Mobile: ok the way I did it was just sudo apt-get install unity: then rebooted into an xsession and removed additonal driver [06:43] woo I still have unity installed [06:43] thats the thing. [06:44] Akiva-Mobile: I used shift in grub to access the other kernel [06:44] ok, so where is the kernel directory on the live/installation cd? is it vmlinuz under 'casper' directory or somewhere else? maybe named something else? [06:44] Akiva-Mobile: ya it there an not there its strange [06:44] just going to try to uninstall the driver [06:44] Akiva-Mobile:if you download the newest experimental they need help to run [06:45] Akiva-Mobile: might work [06:45] fglrx is the driver name, right? [06:46] whatever, too late now, I pressed enter :p [06:46] Akiva-Mobile: I used sudo apt-get remove nvidia-expermintal-123 === Guest30764 is now known as beachbrake [06:46] Hey devs, what packages are associated with wireless connectivity? I don't mean that as "how do I install them," I'm looking to strip down an xubuntu install and don't understand how exactly all the wireless card stuff actually gets pulled in [06:46] woo; i bet nvidia drivers would work better for this amd chipset... [06:47] I see gnome-network-manager [06:47] gaze__: 2006 called, they want their wrapper back. [06:47] Akiva-Mobile: I give ati a higher score then nvidia for preformance [06:47] Akiva-Mobile: they are like n64 and ps [06:48] Akiva-Mobile : I don't understand [06:48] woo: I am only buying intel integrated for now on. [06:48] gaze__: Just kidding around. messing with wireless was such a headache back then. [06:49] I know. That's why i want to strip down an ubuntu install rather than design my own distro [06:49] !ty | pppZero [06:49] pppZero: You're welcome! But keep in mind I'm just a bot ;-) [06:49] like I just don't understand how exactly all the card stuff actually gets pulled in. [06:49] like, wpa_supplicant. Who pulls that in?! [06:50] failbottu [06:50] networkmanager, etc [06:50] wilee-nilee, and crypted with trucrypt it's remain crypted even if it will try to access it in other OS? [06:50] gaze__: why don't you just use a distro that already is stripped down? [06:51] because I want to understand what's going on in the first place, regardless of what I end up creating [06:51] ubottu: Do you love Mark Shuttleworth? [06:51] Akiva-Mobile: I am only a bot, please don't think I'm intelligent :) [06:52] o_O [06:52] gaze__: understand what? [06:52] jony, Yes if you do it right I forget the choice, My crypt is accessible in windows and linux [06:52] let's fully exclude what it is I'm doing. What's the dependency graph on xubuntu-desktop that pulls in wpa_supplicant [06:53] gaze__: aptitude why wpa_supplicant [06:53] jony, remains encrypted against any OS and is open with password in those OS's [06:53] b | ubottu [06:54] !cookie | woo [06:54] woo: Wow! You're such a great helper, you deserve a cookie! [06:54] hi i have the last version of tor but it does not work i run it in terminal and mozilla proxy is set [06:55] sry didnt work [06:55] jelly-home : sweet! Would you mind running that on a machine and pastebinning the result? [06:55] !b [06:55] b is an IRC channel mode that you don't want on your hostmask. [06:55] gaze__: I don't have xubuntu nearby. [06:56] ubuntu I'm sure will have similar results, kubuntu, whatever... it'll at least be a lead [06:56] gaze__: I don't, in fact, have any ubuntu nearby. [06:56] ah ha! okay. [06:56] thanks though! [06:57] gaze__, first off do `apt-file update` and it'll download the package list stuff, then `apt-file -l find `and it'll tell you what package installed that file for you [06:57] * jelly-home is here pretyt much just to snoop on people running ubuntu and asking both here and in #debian [06:58] but, as always, someone gave a better answer, faster :] [07:05] I can type [07:05] Hi, I have a README.md file. Where do I check how it gets parsed into. In short how do I check what it's output looks like?

[07:17] Can someone tell me how to restart gnome-keyring-daemon? It eats up my memory :( [07:18] bergelmir: service restart; but you most likely have a misconfiguration [07:18] AAA: gnome-keyring-daemon: unrecognized service [07:19] bergelmir: use ps to find out waht the process/pid is. like ps auxfwwww [07:19] and look throught the output and go from there [07:20] don't paste it [07:21] bergelmir: these are just general troubleshooting tips. not specific [07:23] okay, killed the process and started a new one. got my memory back and i hope everything is still working :) [07:23] AAA: thanks! [07:25] bergelmir: np. when in doubt, read the man page [07:25] bergelmir: and if you're new, rean 10 man pages for ever command you don't understand, because they probably relate [07:39] at the end of many man pages - theres some 'see also/related' section. ;) [07:39] Greatings. I have been trying to figure out how to do a unattended installation of the ubuntu minimalcd via virt-install for libvirt. I would like to install it from a local iso, because of slow a slow internet connection. Is there anyone with expertise on this topic whom would be able to help me with this or give me some pointers. I can fire up the commandline and initialize a installation, but its the unattended part that is giving me a grey hair (iv [07:39] asked in the official libvirt) === t_kjaergaard|bnc is now known as t_kjaergaard [07:54] hi === sine is now known as Guest36548 === z_ is now known as Guest8227 [08:06] 2 [08:18] Shouldn't cronjobs be run automatically on Ubuntu Desktop the way they do on a server, as long as they're in the crontab?

[08:28] anyway polipo is distributed with a X11 License [08:29] ubuntu updates it till 2010 [08:29] with the version 10..4.1-1.2 [08:29] first google hit i find. shows sources .... http://www.pps.univ-paris-diderot.fr/~jch/software/polipo/ [08:30] that are more old than Ubuntu and than Archlinux [08:30] Archlinux supported it till 2012 for cpu X86_64 bit [08:30] the last commit on the git tree was over 6 mo ago. [08:31] looks like it may be a dead project to me [08:31] eh, well i suppose it's correct [08:31] but there is not way to have polipo [08:31] polipo arrives to 264kb [08:32] Tor is 2mb [08:32] the homepage shows how to get the latest via git.

They are working on it [09:36] devswap: for android support please ask in the android channels [09:36] devswap, see http://www.mediabistro.com/appnewser/libre-office-coming-to-android_b24422 [09:36] thanks all [09:38] hans: Arch is a rolling release distribution that uses slotted packaging (AFAIK); so it's not a basis for comparison; Check out the PPA and see if there's a binary that was built with the fix you're looking for. At least, that's what I'd do, before filing a new bug. [09:39] how can i install this package by sudo apt-get install http://www.ubuntuupdates.org/package/nattybleed/natty/main/base/libglew1.6-dev [09:39] this pacakge is avaialbe on internet but [09:39] when typing sudo apt-get install it saying unknow [09:40] Neutron01_: which version do you want? 32bit or 64bit?

[09:41] ppa how, i never used it before [09:42] ejv i mostly type apt-get install [09:43] NewWorld: it looks like glews source package is in the primary repo, what does sudo apt-get install libglew1.6-dev do?

[09:47] hans: for starters check out: https://help.ubuntu.com/community/CompilingSoftware and http://manpages.ubuntu.com/manpages/lucid/man1/patch.1.html [09:48] ok ejv thanks... [09:48] hans: according to the comments you left, the xorg fix you're interested in, made its way upstream, chances are the fix is actually already included, and you have a different, but similar problem.

[11:35] and are you sure its not INTEL + some other chip [11:35] i did, i used a specific program for it [11:36] it is intel, i do know that. [11:37] the program i used for setting up the usb key was the universal USB install [11:37] i used the iso file to turn it into a bootable drive [11:37] so what exactly happens when you boot from it? [11:38] well i get the purple screen with the keyboard on the bottom, thats where it was crashing [11:38] so i hit shift, go to nomodeset, and try to boot ubuntu from the key, i get another splash screen that says ubuntu and has the loading bar, [11:38] then i get a red cursor in the top left corner for a second or two, something flashes on the screen, and it goes black.

I did just finish a night shfit.. lol But I got in from work and I found my server unreachable..Running Ubuntu server 12.10... So I went over to physicly check it this time since it's the second time in 24 hours this has happened. There was nothing when I turned the screen and I couldnt get the screen to wake up...I [11:48] have checked logs and found nothing other then crazy amounts of DHCP Requests from all 3 nic cards. The only thing I could find that I am able to duplicate is if I unplug 1 of the 3 NIC cards, they all become unreachable. So If Eth0 gets unplugged and I am pinging Eth2 say, It will die. but the moment eht0 is back in, eth2 will reply.... I work at a data center for a living but I am a networking [11:48] guy , not a server guy. This is blowing my mind why I am having this issue with no logs..or am I not looking at the right logs..

[12:00] k1l_: you don't say [12:00] hey guys [12:01] If I click on my user, I have the option to enter the password, and on the bottom I can choose "system default" or "Ubuntu" [12:01] Hey guy's anyone here have any networking exp with ubunut? [12:01] the other two buttons just say "Cancel" and "Login" [12:01] !ask | tdotr6 [12:01] tdotr6: 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 [12:01] Doesnt seem very alive in ubuntu-server [12:01] Ya for sure ejv [12:01] oh you're the guy that wrote a paragraph 15 minutes ago [12:01] Jeppesen, click on the gear symbol ... [12:01] LOL [12:02] Jeppesen, the Ubuntu symbol? [12:02] I dont see any gear symbol cfhowlett [12:02] yea I wasnt going to write as much [12:02] no no no, you did the right thing, we value more detail over less detail here. [12:02] Basicly the problem is, 3 NIC Card setup, You unplug 1 NIC Card, All 3 become unreachable. [12:02] on the top of the screen I see the date/time, on the upper right the symbol for "power". When I click on that I can choose "Suspend, Reboot, Shut-down" [12:02] LOL this is ture , more info is better [12:02] I'm on 12.04 so I can't show you the pic. Ask in channel how to change environments [12:03] is this reproduceable on other servers? [12:03] the other linux box I have is my router [12:03] it works great, the other linux box I had.. I just changed to windows [12:03] Jeppesen: is it a plain ubuntu? that should have lightdm with that screen where you can change if you want to change to unity or other desktop [12:03] had to to setup the media center correctly [12:03] f'n windows... [12:03] lol [12:04] I did choose "Ubuntu" now, instead of "System default" I entered my password and clicked on login ... Nothing happened, except --> next to the username appeared a green checkmark with the text "Already logged-in at" [12:04] that happens all the time, and it doesnt continue to do anything, I still see the login prompt [12:04] tdotr6: and the ubuntu logs say what? [12:04] This box has been up for a few months all good no issues with the OS Ever.. [12:04] The only thing I can see , is it sending out for DHCP requests [12:04] like crazy [12:04] k1l_: I have no option to change that [12:04] but there are so many logs, I am not sure what one to check [12:05] like If I am even checking the one that matters [12:05] tdotr6: dmesg preferably [12:05] Jeppesen: or try the guest account. [12:05] Ok let me check right now [12:05] how can I mount an IP's all shares in a single folder using fstab ? [12:05] k1l_: what is the guest account? [12:05] Will dmesg make a new file on boot? [12:05] I mean: i can log in as root and check what exactly the problem is, but where do I have to look for that? xorg.conf or somehwhere else? [12:05] or does it keep adding to the same log? [12:06] Jeppesen: it should show you smth like this: http://www.pro-linux.de/images/NB3/imgdb/o_der-display-manager-lightdm.jpg [12:06] Just to know if I gotta check the historic log or not [12:06] click the ubuntu symbol behind your username to select the desktop: http://ubuntusecke.net/wp-content/uploads/ubuntu12.10-lightdm_2.png or press on the guest-account to get started in that [12:06] k1l_: nope, I have another screen ... the background is exactly the same, but my login prompt is centered [12:07] cfhowlett, i think Jeppesen has the .Xauthority issue after update > https://bugs.launchpad.net/ubuntu/+source/lightdm/+bug/1036830 this could be fixed by removing ~/.Xauthority file [12:07] Launchpad bug 1036830 in lightdm (Ubuntu) "Can't log in unless remove .Xauthority or use gdm" [Undecided,Confirmed] [12:07] Jeppesen: so again: is this a plain ubuntu or smth different? did you change smth in there? [12:07] OerHeks, please advise him. ... over my head. [12:08] k1l_: look, it looks like that --> http://i.stack.imgur.com/gwIOr.png [12:08] #ubuntu-cn ubuntu [12:08] ???

Unix is just a hobby [12:10] Hi, Does ubuntu 10.04 support both resolv.conf OR /etc/network/interfaces [12:10] for DNS entries [12:10] k1l_: what do you mean with plain ? [12:11] I'm trying to standardize server dns - but i'm not sure if 10.04 supports entries in /etc/network/interfaces [12:11] rightshift, perhaps a question for #ubuntu-server [12:11] thx [12:11] cfhowlett: yes, some day I saw a message that such a file (something like Xauthority or similar, dont remember) could not be created under /home/johndoe/bla.. [12:11] Jeppesen: if its an ubuntu or some ubunut spinoff or some customized ubuntu [12:12] k1l_: plain ubuntu then, nothing special, nothing tweaked, [12:13] OerHeks: but I have no file in ~/ called .Xauthority I checked that [12:14] Double check. ;) [12:14] files that start with . are hidden [12:14] Jeppesen, it is hidden, ( the "." in front of a file means hidden) [12:14] also seen other user settings mess things up if they are owned by root [12:14] Jeppesen, ls -al should show it [12:15] OerHeks: I know, but there is no hidden file called something with authority. I also did run "find / -name authority" but didnt find anything [12:15] but I have found with "locate authority" a file called /var/lib/gdm/.ICEauthority [12:15] Hi [12:16] I'm using ubuntu 12.04 [12:16] cristian_c, greetings [12:16] After I executed the suspension and resume, chromium can't be started anymore [12:16] If I try to launch it from terminal, I get an error [12:16] pcilib: Cannot open /sys/bus/pci/devices/0000:00:02.1/resource: File or directory not found [12:16] Why?

[12:27] I am not sure if that fixed everything, because it seems I have no dock bar on the left side anymore.

[12:33] one of the handiest features i got on weechat [12:33] dr_willis ... thats a gud 1 ... but now how can I get that theme...... : [12:33] linus: then revert the changes you did? [12:34] linus: no idea. i dont 'do' gnome classic [12:35] k1l _ : I dont know exactly which package i,ve installed to make the change..... [12:36] Linus do you have ubuntu-tweak??? [12:36] if a newly made user has the proper look.. then you could just clean out/delete all the other users settings [12:36] Yes, i've installed ubuntu tweak. [12:36] linus, how did I know? [12:37] ubuntu-tweak used to have a 'reset settings back to defaults' option - not looked at it in ages [12:37] been using unsettings lately [12:37] Linus that's where you broke it/that's you fix it. Note: Ubuntu tweak is NOT in the ubuntu repo's ... for a reason. [12:38] Its the login screen that has changed, so it is same for all.By the way,where is the option revert settings in ubuntu tweak? [12:38] the login screen has changed to what? [12:38] To that of Gnome3's from ubuntu's default [12:39] so you are usin GDM instead of lightdm [12:39] ciao [12:40] how can i change it back to GDM? [12:40] no lists here amada95 [12:40] linus: sudo dpkg-reconfigure gdm [12:40] linus: the screen you want is lightdm, not gdm [12:41] linus: so that command will be "sudo dpkg-reconfigure lightdm" [12:42] ciao [12:42] Thankyou all for your suggestions.Will try them out and come back.Wish me luck. [12:43] Hey guys, i have a problem with my ubuntu server 12.10 installation. I have several drives configured in raid5 (storage only). If i have all drives attached on boot, the screen stays blank. If i detach all drives except the boot drives (raid1), it will boot up just fine [12:43] linus: Hi Linus, I'd be greateful if you could get 'Suspend' working in the next version [12:43] linus: ...of the kernel [12:43] Can you give me any hint on how i can debug the boot (the last thing i see before the screen is blank is "loading ramdisk" [12:43] chrisr: ask the hw makers to give better support and specs also... [12:45] dr_willis: ok [12:52] cfhowlett:http://www.howopensource.com/2012/10/install-nvidia-geforce-driver-in-ubuntu-12-10-12-04-using-ppa/ [12:52] Reemo: I would remove 'quiet' and 'splash' option in grub menu entry [12:52] I think my SD card got bricked when there was an unexpected shutdown. can someone help me in terminal to check it out / fix it pls [12:53] Reemo: take a loot at /etc/default/grub === dziegler_off is now known as dziegler [12:53] Martin_: thanks for the suggestion, but this is a server install. it doesnt have quiet and splash enabled by default [12:53] ahh... [12:55] But right now im looking at a nice little kernel panic... [12:55] neither nautilus nor gparted can see the card... any ideas? [12:55] Reemo: ok :) [12:55] So, it looks like mdadm doesnt properly assemble the boot raid array when i boot with the other drives attached [12:56] sounds weird... [12:58] oh, software raid ... :) [12:58] afd: did you take a look at your logfiles ? [12:59] the card was in a windows machine when it bricked - I'm trying ot use ubuntu to repair it [12:59] will the log files show anything? [12:59] I've only live booted and looked in nautilus / gparted so far [12:59] afd: try ddrescue to recover data from it if needed.. and try using 'dd' to zero out and repartion the card.. might bring it back to life [13:00] how do I identify the card if it isn't showing up anywhere... [13:00] maybe the kernel doesn't see the card [13:00] afd: try inserting the card then type 'dmesg' [13:01] and see if you see something related to [13:02] ok - looks like some stuff refers to the sd in dmesg [13:02] thinks it's sdb [13:02] ok so you should see the card in gparted as sdb [13:02] nah - it's not in gparted [13:03] you don't see it in the drop down menu ?? [13:03] if you dont see it get a sd# in dmesg when you plug it in.. then it may be truely dead [13:03] I see sda (the hdd) and sdc (the live usb stick) [13:03] I'm willing to take a gamble and try dd'ing the sdb - could someone talk me through the command/s pls [13:04] IF its not gettiong a sd# then you cant even dd it [13:04] I only need it working - none of the data that was on it [13:04] dr_willis: I think it is sdb as it says in dmesg [13:04] dr_willis: it seems the kernel see the card as sdb [13:04] afd: sudo blkid should show it then [13:04] and gparted should see it. [13:05] blkid shows loop0, loop1, sda1, sda2, sdc1 [13:05] but not the sdb :S [13:06] try sudo fdisk -l /dev/sdb [13:06] oh wow [13:06] for the record: reinstalling the kernel fixed it [13:06] at least it should show partitions [13:06] Reemo: very very strange... [13:07] Martin_: fdisk didn't show any output (no errors, no confirmations...) [13:07] Hiyas all [13:07] afd: did it list some partitions or the size of the card ? [13:07] nope, nothing [13:07] is it not mounted or something? [13:08] hello fellow internet addicts - are we all looking forward to another long & glorious week of irc, steam/gaming, reading random tech articles, and droning at work for 5 days..."longing" for when friday comes, so we can slouch in our lazy internet chair at home and stay inside on the computer for fri/sat/sun? [13:08] afd: can you copy / paste the dmesg concerned part in http://pastebin.com/ [13:08] and fdisk output [13:09] Martin, i have an Audigy 2,and for some reason my sound isn't working [13:09] whats good set of steps to see why 12.10 aint playing sound/music?

[13:13] ccvp, that's for starters [13:13] i bought 4 Western Digital blacks the other day [13:13] 2 TB each, [13:13] Martin_: sorry for the n00bness but could you tell me how to get the output of dmesg to a file? I tried a couple of things and it didn't work, the output is too much to scroll through and copy & paste [13:13] one ubuntu 12.10, one win8, one redhat6, one solaris [13:13] can i use virtual box to boot those hd's [13:13] without having to exclusively boot into em? [13:14] BluesKaj: let it go :) lol [13:15] Martin_, ? [13:15] afd, "dmesg | less" for vi style output, "dmesg > /tmp/dmesg.log" for writing to /tmp/dmesg.log [13:15] thank you ^ [13:16] thanks Reemo ;) [13:18] I have created within "Network Manager" an OpenVPN connection. Funnily when I click on the network symbol on the upper right part of the bar, I only have two options to click --> "Auto eth0" and "disconnect" [13:18] I miss the "VPN connections", "Properties", etc... [13:18] I have found out, when I disable the nic by choosing "Disconnect" and afterwards to a "Auto ETH0" everything appears fine [13:19] Why?? After every reboot and login ,I first have to manually fix that by disabling/enabling my NIC. Any ideas how to fix that?

[13:32] martin_ confirmed, that fixed it! [13:32] Ive never used network manager for openvpn. maybe its not a good choice [13:32] Jeppesen: did you take a look at launchpad bug list for network-manager ? [13:33] Martin_: dont know how [13:38] hello all, I just installed 12.04 and I'm having various problems: USC is crashing on open, I'm getting errors and then when I choose to see the details it says it can't determine the package or source package, Skype crashes whenever someone calls me... what's the deal? bad install?

I think I could get banned from here after post my question here [14:27] lets go [14:28] * compdoc gets ready for the banning.... [14:28] !guidelines | csotelo [14:28] csotelo: The guidelines for using the Ubuntu channels can be found here: http://wiki.ubuntu.com/IRC/Guidelines [14:28] I usually use ubuntu for users and debain for serversw, I dont trust on ubuntu for servers, however, I usually recommends ubutnu for desktop users [14:28] anyone can help with openstack [14:30] !patience [14:30] 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/ [14:30] compdoc, yes there are some lines... delete them? [14:30] now I have a big problem cause I have a poweredge r210 server wich I can statr install with raid 0, however I have read on internet that ubuntu supports well this server, but I am not sure on trust on ubuntu for a critical server, then cause taht I need to know your , if were possible , some opinions.. please... [14:31] k1l_, hi.. I know sorry, just I mean for my question [14:31] csotelo: there is no reason to not trust ubuntu server installation [14:31] capoderra, place a # in front of the lines you think, save, and then run sudo apt-get update [14:32] k1l_, I have this idea sice ubuntu was based on sid debian repo, [14:32] compdoc, success! so now can I go back and delete those lines? [14:32] and each day has a lot of updated [14:32] csotelo: use the LTS version with extended support. [14:32] capoderra, yes, should [14:32] * csotelo a a debian sys admin [14:33] Do application files have the extension .desktop? [14:33] csotelo: its based on that repo until it gets the freeze. [14:33] hmmm [14:34] compdoc, thank you for your help! Also, if you remember my earlier question about Skype, I think the reason why Skype would crash when people called me was because I enabled the firewall without adding a rule for Skype. What do you think? [14:34] and hwat about to much updates per days, looks like a no stable or many bugs.. sorry for the question I just want to be sure what I will do, cause it will be a critical server [14:34] and I have never used ubuntu for that just debian [14:34] csotelo: sry, you have no clue what ubuntu is, right? [14:34] capoderra, possible. I dont use Skype or a firewall [14:35] !lts | csotelo [14:35] csotelo: LTS means Long Term Support. LTS versions of Ubuntu will be supported for 3 years on the desktop, and 5 years on the server; with the exception of 12.04 (Precise Pangolin), which will be supported for 5 years on the desktop. The current LTS version of Ubuntu is !Precise (Precise Pangolin 12.04) [14:35] k1l_, I want to be sure that if I install ubuntu on a critical server I wont have problems at the future [14:35] Martin_: strange. I've put the card in another machine and it's recognising it but as a 55Mb card! It's actually 16GB [14:36] Is there a way to get rid of openjdk without ditching parts of Libreoffice? [14:37] I probably look like a disturb man o no polite, I just be sure of that and I have never used ubuntu on servers before, I just have one installed that I have taken already working nad i have have some problems and I have to be sure on dailly updates ceause it gtes me a litle paraoid on security and stability [14:37] Question: Is there a good documentation program that can be used to view the documentation in /usr/share/doc ? [14:37] (not browser) [14:37] k1l_, and now I probably dont have to much option on this poweredge server [14:38] taht is why i am asking cause internet says that ubuntu supports raid 0 for this server [14:38] but I just want to be sure [14:38] csotelo: you are free to choose either debian or ubuntu. but i dont see a reason not to choose ubuntu LTS [14:39] and iirc debian doesnt come with 5 years support. [14:39] k1l_: oh no? It's better to run Ubuntu then for servers? [14:40] k1l_, just see each day to many updates on a server get me nervopus, also my no experience on critical servers with ubuntu make me no trust on ubuntu for servers === JoFo_ is now known as JoFo_3G [14:40] csotelo: right ! [14:40] Hey all. I'm using irssi IRC client, it shows my password which is really annoying when I'm streaming. Suggestions anyone?

I dont understand you [14:42] csotelo: it's right that Ubuntu comes frequently with updates [14:42] csotelo: i think that topic better suits into #ubuntu-discuss then in a technical support chat. [14:42] k1l_, last question, thebn I could be sure trsting on you that my server will run well on raid 0 conf? juts is a questio on trying got get trust.. ( no direc question just I want to be confident on that my server ) [14:43] csotelo: i dont know about raid0 on that specific server hardware. i dont have that hardware [14:43] Guys, I am coding in CodeBlocks under Ubuntu. I can't find an option, to compile my current project as a Static Library. I can execute it, but i need to make it a lib file. Any idea ? [14:44] any way, you give a lot of help.. [14:44] csotelo: Either you're using a hardware RAID controller, in which case Ubuntu (and *every* other Linux) will just see a standard block device, or you're using mdadm which is, also, largely identical between Linux distros. === Guest25496 is now known as YBM_ === Kitar|st_ is now known as Kitar|st [14:49] has anyone experience about controlling fan speed on asus baords that have fan xpert and q-fan technology? http://www.asus.com/Motherboards/C60M1I/#specifications [14:49] fan xpert is a program for windows, but is there a way to access the corresponding interfaces also by linux? [14:51] e_t_, that is my question, I have been trying to istall a debian server with raid0, I just set the conf on the bios, however when I install it, both disc continue appearing on the partition management, then I have founf that ubuntu support raid 0 and certificate my server poweredge r210, then i was trying to be sure what I am doing [14:51] * csotelo is something paranoid === An_Ony_Moose is now known as Mouse|AFK === Mouse|AFK is now known as An_Ony_Moose === An_Ony_Moose is now known as Mouse|AFK [14:52] So you are using hardware raid then?

[15:48] Hello, my install doesn't boot anymore because of a kernel bug, what should I do? [15:48] hdevalence, Have you tried every kernel in grub? [15:48] installed package list? [15:49] yeah could you point me to that.. didn't know I could do that [15:49] wilee-nilee: Yes [15:49] anyone please help me :( [15:49] xastey, You can run a command that will list all the installed packages that can be run to install them in a fresh install.

[15:50] the dmesg log is here: http://paste.kde.org/699128/ with the relevant section copied to the top [15:50] hdevalence, So, what is actually happening when you boot up is it crashing, be specific. === Onixs is now known as Onixs_ [15:51] wilee-nilee: it fails into busybox due to the illegal cpu instruction while trying to mount the filesystem [15:51] I continually have an issue where unity side panel freezes - often when I come back to the computer left on after a weekend or so - how can I restart it?

Not too many people I've talked to know about it [15:53] sevenforall, How many OS's are you running? [15:54] what is the defualt pass of openvas [15:54] wilee-nilee: Two, just Ubuntu and Windows [15:54] wilee-nilee: However, Ubuntu has about 4 entries, for recovery mode etc. [15:54] I hardly ever to never use those, so I'd rather not list them (yet have the available somehow) [15:55] does any buddy know openvas ????? [15:55] -_- [15:55] I, for one, do not [15:55] :p [15:55] sevenforall, every kernel has at least 2 line in grub, are you just seeing two kernels? [15:56] wilee-nilee: I'm not certain, I guess that's the case. [15:56] I have a single Ubuntu installation with 4 GRUB entries [15:56] I guess 2 for regular, 2 for recovery/ [15:56] *?

[15:56] Pici: okay I cant even install an older version of libxml2 as it will remove almost everything important on my system. actually I need libxml2-dev but there is only a dev package for the 2.1 not the 2.2 version of libxml2 I have [15:57] sevenforall, The general advice is to always have at least two kernels, ands having easy access to them is quite helpful in case you need them, the recovery may save your setup at some point. [15:58] sevenforall, Is this an aesthetic issue, just the look of it? [15:58] wilee-nilee: That's why I was wondering if I could just not list them / hide them, but still allow me to boot it [15:58] wilee-nilee: Basically, yes, it's nothing important in the end [15:59] the screen keeps going to a blank screensaver after 13 seconds of inactivity [16:01] sevenforall, You can customize grub yes, however you want to be sure to have the skills to get what you ned done after doing this, which may include going as far as purging and reinstalling grub, or being able to chroot from a live cd to fix any problems. === andrew is now known as Guest34978 [16:01] wilee-nilee: That's nothing too difficult [16:01] crf, turn the screensaver off [16:02] sevenforall, Excellent, there is a gui tool called grub customizer that some use.

[16:49] ciao [16:49] Partzz, I think that is because you have 4 primary partitions [16:49] try to create one logical partition in that 20GB instead of primary or extended one. [16:50] c2tarun, well I just have a bunch of scripts in a folder in my home dir and would like to be able to run them from where ever I am [16:50] i cannot create anything : the create button is disabled [16:50] Partzz, try booting and starting Ubuntu from liveCD and make partition via GParted [16:50] Partzz, I am having a look at your pic now === qos is now known as qos|away [16:51] com5, can you please share the output of echo $PATH and also please tell me how are you trying to add the folder into path? [16:51] anyone else here experience issues with wireless connections dropping every few seconds? [16:51] Yeah Partzz I have never seen the Ubuntu installation partition manager look like that [16:52] mbduino, I remember facing that problem, try resetting router and changing its frequency. [16:52] frequency? [16:52] Partzz, how do you make that free space again? === Jikan is now known as Jikai [16:53] i resized sda3 [16:53] oh, channel? === Jikai is now known as Jikan [16:53] XChat: /load .xchat2/budus.so [16:53] to make free space [16:53] mbduino, yup [16:53] /load .xchat2/budus.so [16:53] reset as in soft-reset (reboot) or clear system settings reset? [16:54] mbduino, clear system reset, there must be a button for it somewhere on the router, you can google your model number and find the way to reset [16:54] com5, is your problem solved? [16:54] No [16:54] com5, how are you adding your folder to path? [16:55] com5, you can try running this in terminal export PATH=$PATH:/your/path [16:55] and this is still applicable even if there are other workstations on my network not disconnecting? [16:55] Nothing I have tried has works === qos|away is now known as qos [16:56] mbduino, I have 3 laptops here, one tablet and 2 cellphones, and only my ubuntu machine was dropping connection. This fixed my problem. [16:56] I have tried add a folder to .profile and .bashrc [16:56] com5, did you try what I just told? [16:56] k i'll give it a shot I guess [16:56] it fixed it permanently? [16:57] mbduino, I didn't faced this problem since last 3 months. [16:57] Hey c2tarun can you use ~/ in the path? [16:57] In a server environment only, are there any reasons to use ubuntu server over debian? [16:57] com5, not sure, try giving complete path as /home/user/your/path [16:58] c2tarun, Okay, one moment [16:58] how can we write this :"|" in tor? [16:59] Are there no opinions on that? === cyphase is now known as cyphase_ [17:00] c2tarun, yep tried it did work [17:00] chrisr, in any env I guess Ubuntu has slightly more packages then debian [17:00] I must be missing something very simple [17:00] how can we write this :"|" in terminal? === cyphase_ is now known as cyphase === cyphase is now known as cyphase_ === cyphase_ is now known as cyphase__ [17:01] hamidddddddd, try shift + \ [17:01] hamidddddddd, that the "pipe" symbol [17:02] hamidddddddd: http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Keyboard_layout (alt-gr < in de-layout) === cyphase__ is now known as cyphase [17:02] Partzz, is your problem solved? [17:03] c2tarun: so which would you rather run in a server environment? [17:04] Anyone, my laptop overheats and shutsdown once it gets to 100C (as shown by psensor temp2 trace). The laptop's fan2 sensor shows 3075 - I presume RPM. I am attempting to watch video full screen. [17:04] chrisr, I'll go for Ubuntu. (for server I'll also look for Long Term Support) [17:05] chrisr: use whatever you feel comfortable with, there are no technical differences. and please no polls here in the channel [17:05] umm great I just installed ubuntu on my new ssd drive and upon boot nothing.. no grub, not booting nothing [17:06] intrader, try jupiter [17:06] Hello. I can't get weather applet 3.5.92 working with international units. Only Fahrenheit, inHg, knot and miles. How to solve that? The language is French [17:06] intrader, also try switching to Ubuntu 2D [17:07] c2tarun: is more packages the only reason you'd go for it or are there others? [17:07] I think I found my solution; http://askubuntu.com/questions/60218/how-to-add-a-directory-to-my-path Post 24 [17:07] intrader: Flash video? [17:07] chrisr, actually in ubuntu I like the support I get from forum and IRC [17:08] xastey, Is ubuntu the only OS, and may it be you are just seeing a black screen, any blinking cursor...etc? [17:08] yes black screen blinking cursor.. installed from usb onto ssd drive [17:09] xastey, Only one OS, Ubuntu right [17:09] I am installing a legacy version of an ati driver on my friends machine, because the new drivers break the system. I also have the updates set to install automatically in the background. How can I make sure that the automatic updates do not automatically update my ati driver, thus breaking the system? [17:09] c2tarun, meptok, I have tried to install jupiter to no avails. and i am not using flash. A tutorial video from phonegap, or any youtube [17:09] wilee-nilee I do have win7 on hd2 [17:10] intrader, are you using chrome? [17:10] but when I installed I told it to install fresh, erase everything.. then pointed the installer to my ssd drive wilee-nilee [17:10] c2tarun, no firefox and I have turned off the special driver for unity [17:10] xastey: You now only have 1 system, it did boot however it is not in the proper screen [17:11] intrader: YouTube is Flash in most cases. [17:11] intrader: most web video is Flash [17:11] xastey: try hitting ctrl alt f2 [17:11] intrader, try switching to Ubuntu2D [17:11] so Betanu701 what are the step to fix this problem [17:11] ok I'll try that Betanu701 [17:11] ... big news; I officially hate amd/ati for causing me this headache. [17:11] xastey, Cool sounds like a graphic driver issue, take a look here for the nomodeset per session boot, if you get in check for a driver needed maybe a update will take care of it. http://ubuntuforums.org/showthread.php?t=1613132 [17:11] fucking guys, can't even open source their driver which sucks anyways! [17:12] intrader: so my suspicion is that you are using the Flash plugin, which is a known CPU hog. set your YouTube preferences to prefer HTML5 video [17:12] !language | Akiva-Mobile [17:12] Akiva-Mobile: Please watch your language and topic to help keep this channel family-friendly, polite, and professional. [17:12] I was just reading that wilee-nilee .. funny how I had ubuntu installed on this before and didn't have to do that [17:12] but let me try what Betanu701 said [17:12] Betanu701 ctrl+alt+f2 does nothing [17:12] sorry ubottu... [17:12] what this means in termminal "sudo chown $USER -Rv ~/.tor-browser/"? [17:13] c2tarun, how, I have disabled all proprietary drivers [17:13] xastey, Funny thing about installing that not every driver is loaded at times if you install without the install updates box in the install gui, it can be as simple as not being connected to the web. [17:13] hamidddddddd, try executing man chown in terminal, you'll understand what chown does [17:13] hamidddddddd: read "man chown" (it will change ownership of the given file to $USER (you most likely) [17:13] xastey: ok, try what wilee is said, if that doesn't work, do you have another machine or a phone? [17:13] intrader, are you on Ubuntu 12.04? [17:14] hi [17:14] umm pressing the shift key didn't work wilee-nilee [17:14] s/file/dir/ [17:14] is there a dev (ubuntu-next) channel? [17:14] bosyi: #ubuntu-devel [17:14] u mean i must write the username in USER place? llutz [17:14] well wilee-nilee I installed the same way, make sure I was connected to the web and checked both "install other packages" boxes [17:14] bosyi: #ubuntu-devel but make sure to read the topic [17:15] c2tarun, yes, ubuntu 12.04. Problems started with ubuntu 11.04 (unity) [17:15] hamidddddddd: no [17:15] xastey: does the machine have an IP address that you can try to ssh to? [17:15] let me see [17:15] hamidddddddd: "echo $USER" in a terminal will show you what that variable will be substituted with [17:15] intrader, then simply log-off and above your username you'll find a small wrench symbol, click it and select Ubuntu 2D and then enter your password [17:15] xastey, Try revering the HD being read first in the bios, if you did not specifically make sure in the manual install gui that grub was paointed at the HD not a partition or the windows HD. === Guest14700 is now known as ratedz [17:15] *reversing [17:15] * donttrustem has had enough of ubuntu 12.10 .... friggin nvidia support sucks [17:16] mneptok, that is worthile a try. where are the youtube preferences? [17:16] * donttrustem has rebuilt the box 4 times today and still no further forward [17:17] intrader: https://www.youtube.com/html5 [17:17] chown: missing operand after `/.tor-browser/' llutz [17:17] donttrustem: make sure the kernel headers are installed [17:17] wilee-nilee I'm going to give it another install [17:18] k1l:thank will do that on this install [17:18] hamidddddddd: typo, type command correctly again [17:19] xastey, If you like, it may be as simple as loading grub in the right mbr, ot changing the HD order. Make sure that you point grub to that HD and have it first read in the bios. [17:19] hamidddddddd, what tor guide are you following? [17:19] wilee-nilee I'm booting into my liveusb [17:19] so maybe I can check from there? [17:19] k1l:I can only do this after the install [17:20] OerHeks: http://www.upubuntu.com/2013/03/tor-browser-bundle-2325-4-released-with.html [17:20] donttrustem: when installing the nvidia-current kame sure its not failing because the lack of headers [17:20] xastey, YOU can run a script that will kick out info that would be helpful, can you confirm though that the SSD is first in the bios. [17:20] OerHeks: i cant run this part:sudo chown $USER -Rv ~/.tor-browser/ [17:20] Hello there, I'm having problems with slow DNS resolution... [17:21] wilee-nilee its first in boot order yes [17:21] hamidddddddd: sudo chown -Rv $USER ~/.tor-browser/ [17:21] k1l: possibly ... I will install the headers after the install and then switch to the nvidia current [17:21] hamidddddddd, on that page, read comment #1 === qos is now known as qos|away [17:21] xastey: do you know where you installed grub to? was it on that hd or another one? [17:22] xastey: Also as wilee has been saying try to boot with the other harddrives, maybe that will pull it up [17:22] hamidddddddd, do you have that folder ~/.tor-browser/ ? ( it is hidden ctrl + H ) [17:22] Betanu701 I wasn't given a choice [17:22] I just choosed my ssd harddrive and install [17:23] OerHeks: how can i know? [17:23] I choose Erase Everything-> Picked my ssd drive -> install [17:23] xastey, How old is this computer I want to make sure you don't have UEFI setup [17:23] brand new [17:23] c2tarun, with ununtu2d I get internal error from ubuntu [17:23] lenvono t530.. just got it [17:23] no uefi [17:23] xastey, W7 or W8? [17:23] Like I said.. I had ubuntu installed already on this laptop [17:23] w7 [17:23] k1l: do I just install the headers then select the nvidia current from the additional drivers [17:23] all was working fine for weeks [17:24] Hello, I have recently installed a ubuntu on a brand new HDD and I have the error "The system is running in low-graphics mode" and my keyboard and mouse is disabled so I can't procred [17:24] I wanted to install my ssd drive.. so though I would just reinstall.. already backedup my packages and whatnot [17:24] Correction, Proceed* [17:24] let me boot into the other drive [17:24] xastey, So the first install did not include any UEFI tasks? [17:24] maybe thats set as the primary [17:25] correct wilee-nilee [17:25] but let me boot from drive 0 [17:25] ssd is drive 1 but 0 in boot order [17:25] maybe thats why [17:25] Is it possible to send an email using php's send mail function on Ubuntu without having a domain name? [17:25] mneptok, I have looked at the html5 page and there is a 'Join the HTML5 trial'. Is there an option I don't see? [17:26] well hot damn [17:26] OerHeks: bash: /home/hamid/.tor-browser/: Is a directory [17:26] you guys were right [17:26] hehe [17:26] Siecje, yes [17:26] hamidddddddd: sudo chown -Rv $USER ~/.tor-browser/ [17:26] xastey, Grub might have been put in the W7's mbr, no biggie we can fix that and even reload the MS bootloader back in and grub in the SSD [17:26] it will send from localhost@ [17:26] there goes my gub.. shows up ubuntu 12.10 rither with my old ubuntu install [17:26] whyever that dir wouldn't be owned by you already [17:26] mike_m: ok so what package do I need? === daniel is now known as Guest98125 [17:26] postfix [17:27] ok I have that installed [17:27] so wilee-nilee should I just keep it as is? any problems keeping it like this [17:27] llutz, same thought, now it is sure that folder exists. [17:27] my ssd isn't the primary drive as it stands right now [17:27] but I will use it as my primary drive for ubuntu [17:27] xastey, ASs is means the windows HD has the grub boot? [17:27] *as [17:27] thats correct wilee-nilee [17:28] so heres my setup [17:28] hamidddddddd: "echo $USER" what it your username? [17:28] OerHeks: it changed ownership but still not working [17:28] ssd= new ubuntu install , hdd= old ubuntu install + win 7 and a few other recover partations [17:28] Hello, I have recently installed a ubuntu on a brand new HDD and I have the error "The system is running in low-graphics mode" and my keyboard and mouse is disabled so I can't proceed [17:29] hamidddddddd, there is no manual with that, maybe you need to logout/login to let tor browser take effect ? [17:29] xastey, Personally I would want the loader for the OS in the mbr of the HD it is in, however I know how to do that easily, your choice, if it works now the only real issue is being able to boot windows without grub [17:29] hello to every one [17:29] mike_m: since I don't have a domain name what do I put for host/ [17:29] hostname [17:30] I'm getting this error when I import a forder to the subversion [17:30] http://pastebin.com/NdPcWDh4 === leonmarincowitz is now known as Lionthinker [17:30] Siecje: who do you want to send mails to if you don't have a valid domain-name? no serious mailserver will accept mails from you [17:31] mneptok, I have also rebooted in 2D mode. - I don't know how to tell you tube to go html5. The settings context menu in you tube does not offer html5 [17:31] xastey, Make sure you have the recovery disk you can make in windows and backup everything. If you have a windows install disc that is fine as well.

[17:44] polizois: use scp - since telnet gives you a command line. ;) or kermit [17:44] hamiddddddd: you download the tor browser extract it and run it. [17:45] polizois: What are you trying to do? [17:45] histo: i did these all but its not working [17:45] hamiddddddd: Can you elaboorate on not working? [17:46] anyone know anything about analog tv tuners? [17:46] histo: i have a dreambox and i want to login via telnet and modify a file [17:47] when i run the tor browser theres a massage 'unexpected exit'.

[17:47] hamiddddddd: possibly try a different version. [17:47] lol ok sorry ubottu Thanks [17:47] polizois: "telnet dreambox" gives you terminalaccess, there you edit the file (use whatever editor the dreambox brings) [17:48] k1l: are you still here [17:48] histo: its the last version [17:48] Siecje: then use "localhost.localdomain" [17:49] alainus: Why not just sync the specific file for settings rather than the entire home. [17:49] wilee-nilee I may have to do it still, to have grub boot my w7 install from the second drive [17:49] Siecje: btw it would be easier to use nullmailer, ssmtp, msmtp instead of a full featured MTA like postfix (though that also will do the job) [17:49] hamiddddddd: try an older one. or ask them for support. [17:49] I have an 2 tv tuners both hybrids and both are claimed to work in linux. The digital side works like a charm, but I get no signal on the analog side, I have updated all the drivers and modprobed to see that they actually are running them. any advice? [17:49] Hey guys, I just want to know how to find my NTFS so I can install Windows and remove Ubuntu [17:50] llutz: what is localdomain? Which of those packages do you recommend [17:50] llutz: i didnt know i could do that...do you know what editor it features??? [17:50] ubutuwants: do you have a NTFS partion? [17:50] ubuntuwants: In the file browser (nautilus) you should be able to see your other partitions. [17:50] polizois: nope, ask the dreambox guys please [17:51] xastey, grub can be loaded to the SSD's mbr from the live cd, or you can use a tool like supergrub to just boot Ubuntu and do it from the desktop. The windows bootloader can be reloaded to it's mbr with the recovery disc. [17:51] Siecje: ssmtp worked fine for me, but all other should do too [17:51] i had the older one histo. its filtered in my country, no other way? [17:51] histo, that's another option. i was just wondering if i could make it faster by just syncing the entire directory [17:51] hamiddddddd: Why would the newer one not be filtered? [17:51] Betanu701: I installed Ubuntu 12.10 over a corrupted Windows 7 and now I want to install Vista but can't since the NTFS is gone. I am sure I have the NTFS Partition is here. [17:51] alainus: How often does the "configuration" file change? [17:51] cool.. so what I'm doing wilee-nilee is, first I switched my ssd to be hdd0 (not just in boot order) and my old hdd is hdd1 [17:52] llutz: ok thanks [17:52] mneptok, I have started the browser in html5 test mode. See no difference in heat generation in full screen. psensor temp2 shoots up immediately [17:52] ubuntuwants: /j #windows [17:52] now I'm going to just reinstall .. its a quick install anyways... then I'll address fixing adding win7 to grub on my ssd drive [17:52] ubuntuwants: use gparted to see if it is there [17:52] which will boot win7 from my second drive [17:52] ubuntuwants, can you run sudo fdisk -l and pastebin the text and give us the url. [17:52] histo: i downloaded it from ubuntu server [17:53] hamiddddddd: What's filtered in your country? [17:53] I guess I have formatted my NTFS or something. Seems terminal can't detect my NTFS [17:53] Siecje: erm wait, you just need local delivery (all users on your local machine)? then msmtp might be better [17:53] histo, some change very often (filezilla) and some not so much. i want to use my laptop as a terminal when I need to go away from the pc and work elsewhere, so I don't care if they're exactly equal in configuration and files. I know that you can use Unison to sync these files over ssh, so i was thinking of just syncing the entire ~ [17:53] xastey, Cool just make sure tat grub in the custom install is pointed at the SSD mbr, probably is sdb [17:54] *that [17:54] llutz: no I need to send emails to people [17:54] not users on my machine [17:54] will do wilee-nilee thanks a lot for the help so far.. you too Betanu701 thanks guys [17:54] alainus: I don't see why you couldn't do that. [17:54] No problem good luck [17:55] How to add Unity dock in Linux distro? Hmmm. [17:55] ubuntuwants: Are you trying to install windows again? [17:55] xastey, you can check for the ssd's info with gparted or in the terminal to just confirm it is sdb, I would. [17:55] @histo just wanna ask. I installed on my aunt's computer and she said she does not like Ubuntu and wants Windows back. [17:55] no its sda right now wilee-nilee [17:55] previous it was sdb [17:56] but after I switched the hd slots (took laptop apart) its showing ssd as sda [17:56] xastey, Cool, the important part is that you know for sure, enjoy. ;) [17:56] ubuntuwants: then use the windows cd and install winblows again.

"mid-term" newbie here. I installed VirtualBox in *.deb pkg, from www.oracle.com, because the version in the Ubuntu Software Center is outdated. I have installed the 4.2.8. I want to upgrade to the new 4.2.10, but I can't seem to upgrade, nor uninstal the prev version. What can I do? [18:20] How do I find the audio recording unit? My laptop has an internal mic and pavucontrol seems to find it ok. [18:21] I have 2 TV tuners, a kworld 150, and a haupauge 950q. I have been able to get both cards to work, though just with the digital side. [18:21] I can not get anything to make it receive any analog stations. Neither of them get analog. [18:21] Things I have done, [18:21] I have upgraded the firmware of the cards of the v4l2 (or vl42 I forget which). [18:21] Modprobed the devices to make sure it is using and detecting the cards. [18:21] Betanu701: Please don't flood; use http://paste.ubuntu.com to paste; don't use Enter as punctuation. [18:21] I have tried this on everything from 11.10-13.04 [18:22] SonhadorPR, Can you describe what the problem is with just installing the upgrade, details are important here. [18:23] Betanu701, what are you using to try and tune channels? [18:23] command line scantv [18:24] Betanu701, and I'm assuming you actually have analog stations to tune? [18:24] yes I do, I am using basic cable US and they deliver most channels 2-70 via analog [18:25] Betanu701, wow, there are still cable companies transmitting analog? What provider? [18:25] Time Warner,\ === blitzkrieg3 is now known as jmleddy [18:27] wilee-nilee: http://paste.ubuntu.com/5625963/ [18:27] I prefer the digital stations, but sadly the ones i want are analog [18:28] rafaelsoaresbr: oi! [18:29] Betanu701, I've not used scantv, is it throwing any errors? [18:29] support for the 950q seems to be built into the kernel; [18:29] SonhadorPR: you could simply download the new .deb package and install it. === ericab_away is now known as ericab [18:29] I did...that's where I'm getting the error msg. [18:29] tgm4883: no errors just no stations avalible. [18:30] analog , heh , we still have them in markets under 250K population , the small market stations cried poverty when it came to switching to digital [18:30] I've got a PDF that I want to take one page from, and make another PDF with. How would I do that? === _pash is now known as Guest78300 [18:30] BlueKaj: that describes my area lol [18:30] SonhadorPR, when you did the 'apt-get remove virtualbox', what was the error message [18:31] SonhadorPR: have you used dpkg for uninstall before? [18:31] Betanu701, any error messages in dmesg regarding the tunes? [18:31] tuners* [18:31] or package management at all? [18:31] wilee-nilee: in the command line, all I get is blanks. Like just pressing the enter key. Nothing happened [18:32] tgm4883: should I run dmesg after the scan? [18:32] Betanu701, no, just after plugging in the 950q [18:32] SonhadorPR: dpkg -l | grep ^i | grep virtualbox [18:32] wilee-nilee: I found the instructions for command line removal in: http://www.answeredubuntu.com/22200/how_to_uninstall_a_deb_package#sthash.QYZ1RcB9.dpbs but no such luck. The dpkg gives me error msgs...the other one doesn't [18:32] if it returns nothing then it isn't installed anymore [18:33] LuizAngioletti, IIRC, the virtualbox packages are named Virtualbox [18:33] LuizAngioletti, so probably need a grep -i virtualbox [18:33] wilee-nilee: let me try that one. [18:33] tgm4883: not that I am aware, give me a sec and I will look it over again [18:34] hey, recommended desktop twitter widget? [18:34] tgm4883: you're right. =) [18:34] Hi! I've got some problems getting my ATI drivers to work. (Manually downloaded and installed from ATI) [18:34] Dry_Lips: That's really the bad way to install the drivers... [18:34] SonhadorPR: fix it as tgm4883 mentioned, before you run it. =) [18:34] When I run sudo "aticonfig --adapter=all --odgt", I get "ERROR - X needs to be running to perform AMD Overdrive(TM) commands" [18:34] SonhadorPR, sounds like you have it fixed I would just run sudo apt-get remove virtualbox-4.2.8 However the download from the vbox website should upgrade it. Did ou instal dkms? [18:34] adamk: I need to do it that way, I'm setting it up to mine bitcoins [18:35] adamk: I followed this tutorial: https://docs.google.com/document/d/1Gw7YPYgMgNNU42skibULbJJUx_suP_CpjSEdSi8_z9U/edit?pli=1# [18:35] LuizAngioletti: I don't understand. What are you ssaying, what I am supposed to do? [18:35] SonhadorPR, run "dpkg -l | grep ^i | grep -i virtualbox" [18:36] I just did that...it went blank...like itting return..no error msg. [18:36] Let me try re-installing again. [18:36] Dry_Lips: I fail to see why mining for bitcoins requires you to manualy install fglrx when it's packaged nicely for Ubuntu... But, whatever. The error you message seems pretty clear... You need X to run to perform that particular command. [18:37] adamk: why don't X run then? [18:37] Dry_Lips: I have no idea. This is the first time you mentioned that X won't run... [18:38] adamk: well, I have booted to the desktop [18:38] Dry_Lips: So X is running then? [18:38] yeah, it must be [18:38] Dry_Lips, what video card? [18:39] ATI HD 2600 [18:39] http://paste.ubuntu.com/5625996/ [18:39] Dry_Lips: Well, you're on your own then. :-) AMD pushed pre HD5xxx GPUs to the legacy driver, and I have on experience with that. [18:40] I'd question whether it can even do what you want it to. === elijah1 is now known as elijah [18:40] using apt-get remove virtualbox, I get: Couldn't find any package by regex 'virtualbox-4.2_4.2.8-83876~Ubuntu~precise_i386 [18:40] SonhadorPR: it isn't quite the same error message. =) [18:40] adamk: aha... So I would have to install the legacy driver? [18:40] adamk: but I get your point, though, it's an old card [18:40] SonhadorPR, I just ran a upgrade a couple of days ago with virtualbox, I believe I had to remove 4.2.8 first as well so run this to remove it then install the new one. sudo apt-get remove virtualbox-4.2 [18:40] Dry_Lips, well, you have to install a driver package that actually has drivers for your card [18:41] mike_m: I can start postfix [18:41] Dry_Lips: Personally I wouldn't even use fglrx on that card, I'd stick with the open source drivers. But I have on idea if those drivers can do what you want. [18:41] SonhadorPR, that is because you are running it from the same directory that you downloaded the virtualbox package to === linuxthefish` is now known as linuxthefish [18:41] SonhadorPR, Always include the commands in these pastes as wil give us everything you see in the termional. [18:42] *terminal [18:42] Dry_Lips, I'm unsure if the card you are using supports what you want to do even with the proprietary driveres [18:42] tgm4883: I do not see any errors, I could be wrong so i posted the dmesg http://pastebin.ubuntu.com/5626008/ [18:42] how do I change the file that is displayed as the spash screen while the system is coming up? [18:42] adamk: basically I would need OpenCL support & the ATI SDK [18:43] I just got a crash report...trying to uninstall the virtualbox 4.2 gamve me different errors [18:43] tgm4883: I'm not sure either, this is more of an experiment [18:43] apparently I was able to remove it...let me try re-installing. [18:43] Dry_Lips, a quick google search say opencl isn't supported on the hd2600 [18:43] SonhadorPR, you might try the #vbox channel as well. [18:43] tgm4883: duh, too bad! :( [18:44] Thank you guys: I will, if all else fails!! [18:44] tgm4883, adamk, well, thanks for your help anyway! Much appreciated! [18:44] Betanu701, looks like something wonky is going on there [18:45] tgm4883: how so? Please enlighten me :) [18:46] Betanu701, at the end, it keeps uploading the firmware. Repeatedly, about every 3 seconds === mpmc|Away is now known as mpmc [18:46] Betanu701, the kworld one does seem to be having issues [18:47] I wonder if there is a driver conflict.

[18:50] wilee-nilee: I update with update manager [18:51] It is the only info I get [18:51] Peyam, Run sudo apt-get update && sudo apt-get dist-upgrade and see if that gets you running.

[18:52] Peyam: it sounds like the pae problem thats what i MEANT GOOGLE IT [18:53] tgm4883: yup they both work [18:53] robin0800: I googled it and it asked me to add some PPA but nothing happened [18:54] wilee-nilee: any advice?

[18:56] tgm4883: was that kernel to me or to robin? [18:56] wilee-nilee, i'm not sure why he's got something depending on it, probably some PPA he added [18:56] Betanu701, to peyam actually [18:56] tgm4883, Exactly hence the sources.list mention. ;) [18:56] tgm4883: ok lol, I was going to say I am on 3.8 :D [18:56] wilee-nilee, it's too bad he listened to bad advice and rebooted [18:57] wilee-nilee, sources.list.d I hope you mean [18:57] Betanu701, I'm not sure what the issue is with yours.

[19:55] wastl: apt-get install wpasupplicant does not upgrade the wpa_supplicant to 2.0 it uses and old one. I installed the wpa_supplicant 2.0 manually but it requires a lot dependencies. someone here used to told a command with aptitude to install dependencies automatically, would you know how I would need to use it? [19:55] tux, have you restarted the interface after making the change? [19:55] jacer: what interface? [19:55] net0, or whatever interface you want hte change to apply to.

[22:22] ikonia: yes, the path is correct [22:22] fallout: just so I'm clear, how are you verifying that [22:23] ikonia: echo $PATH | tr ':' '\n', and I see it as ~/path/to/plot-batch [22:23] maybe since it's ~ and not the expanded full path?

Something along the lines of pfSense that is installable? [22:49] histo, yes many times [22:49] !ufw | MikeH [22:49] MikeH: Ubuntu, like any other Linux distribution, has firewall capabilities built-in. The firewall is managed using the 'ufw' command - see https://help.ubuntu.com/community/UFW | An alternative to ufw is the 'iptables' command - See https://help.ubuntu.com/community/IptablesHowTo | GUI frontends such as Gufw (GNOME) and Guarddog (KDE from Lucid onwards) also exist. [22:50] gufw MikeH [22:50] I have been at this for weeks now and I think I am going mad [22:51] com5: what's echo $PATH say, and how are you running the script? [22:52] echo $PATH [22:52] /usr/lib/lightdm/lightdm:/usr/local/sbin:/usr/local/bin:/usr/sbin:/usr/bin:/sbin:/bin:/usr/games:/usr/local/games:/home/computer/bin:/home/computer/bin/system:/home/computer/bin/wireless [22:52] I am running the script; ./script [22:52] how is that ever going to work [22:52] um [22:53] you're in the wrong directory [22:53] the ./ is wrong [22:53] Oh yes I see [22:53] if it's marked as executable, just scriptname should work? [22:53] ikonia you are still officially not helping [22:54] com5: why not just "script" ? [22:56] hello, i want to install a mail server and i find many software to do this, as webmail interface i want to use roundcube and can someone send me to a link about talking the most standard imapd and smtpd? [22:56] hxm: they are all "standard" [22:56] hxm: that is the point of them [22:57] yes i know any of them will work, but i wonder what is the most used, or which gives more support or has the biggest community, etc [22:57] com5: is the script +x [22:57] hxm: why don't you focus on "which will work how you want" "which is available for ubuntu" "which is laid out how I want" === psil0cybin is now known as Psil0cybin [22:58] well, you explained it better than me [22:59] hxm: multiple domains or single? [22:59] multiple === akar1m is now known as zz_akar1m [23:00] hxm: flurdy.com has a good howto [23:00] thanks, there i go [23:00] hxm: or if you actually want to understand how everything works you can use workaround.org/ispmail it's debian instructions but a good read if you want to understand everything. [23:01] hxm: and there is also mail-delivery-stack [23:01] ah, the first one dont use dovecot, and better, i was reading dovecot configuration and is hard to understand (for me) [23:01] thanks again, i will have a base now [23:01] hxm: dovecot config is jacked up imo [23:02] hxm: also read the ubuntu server guide there is a link to the postfix page in the wiki that has virtual uses based on text files etc... read a lot then decide [23:02] ok [23:03] hxm: I'm currently workign on one with dovecot and the configs are jacked up in my opinion for dovecot [23:04] seems so === t_kjaergaard is now known as t_kjaergaard|bnc === fisted_ is now known as fisted === dude is now known as Guest64998 [23:05] I lost SSH connection while installing ubuntu-desktop, it was on the keyboard selection page [23:05] can I go back? [23:06] its still running in interactive or whatver you call it, i think [23:06] because i cant do any other installs, its locked [23:11] so in rhel, service iptables status, allows me to check the status [23:11] but when it appears i can't do service iptables in ubuntu [23:11] though i can do it with ssh [23:11] do i need to enable something [23:11] dark_soul: it's wrapped in a script called "ufw" "ubuntu firewall" [23:12] okay, so i installed sshd and it install ufw [23:12] does it also enable ufw if you install openssh-sever? [23:12] dark_soul: no [23:12] dark_soul: ssh is nothing to do with ufw (iptableS) [23:13] it says "processing triggers for ufw" when i install or remove [23:13] does that mean its just adding an entry into ufw [23:13] dark_soul: I suspect that is because it's not configured after you installed it [23:14] i got a clean install of ubuntu [23:14] i was told that ufw is not enabled by default [23:14] correct? [23:14] dark_soul: it is enabled by default [23:14] oh, but just completely open? === c_smith_away is now known as c_smith [23:14] dark_soul: Why are you using ufw? Are you sure you really need it? [23:14] dark_soul: no, default rules [23:15] i thought ufw is whats used by ubuntu [23:15] i have to write a script that does some checks [23:15] dark_soul: By default it will be open to all. [23:15] it has to run on both rhel and ubuntu [23:15] dark_soul: it is [23:15] and i'm having a little problem with ubuntu [23:15] dark_soul: you can still interact with iptables directly on both OS's [23:16] I'm having a problem with 12.10 server. I am getting a hard lock and reboot with "mcelog: Unknown CPU type vendor 2 family 12 model 1" showing in the mcelog. Since the CPU is apparently too new, where do i turn for help? [23:16] Missing my ubuntu. It is damaged and i'm working with windows [23:16] raedwa01: what is the cpu ? [23:17] ikonia: i was hoping to use "service iptables status" but it appears ubnuntu doesn't like that [23:17] dark_soul: iptables is not really a service. [23:17] dark_soul: they use different init systems, that is not a good shared option === Karbowiak is now known as zz_Karbowiak [23:17] hi, I was here earlier. I have a problem with the screen on my laptop going to black after about 15 seconds of not using it. I think it is the screensaver blanking the screen. I have in the power settings, blank screen=never [23:18] dark_soul: iptables is a tool for packet filtering and network address translation. [23:18] at the kernel level [23:19] usr13: ah yes, you are right, i remember that [23:19] so it is not a service [23:19] is there any Music Player/Media Manager for linux that supports Album 'compilations' properly using the "Album Artist" tag? I cant believe Rhythmbox hasnt fix this bug in over 4-5 years.... [23:19] i need to figure a lowest common denominator on whether its running or not [23:19] on both rhel/ubuntu [23:19] dark_soul: iptables [23:20] the output requires some text manipulation in a script for validation [23:20] dark_soul: service --status-all [23:20] Rythmbox is completely useless to me without being able to browse by Album Artist. The devs havent fixed this known bug in 5 years. Whats a superior media player? [23:20] where as service iptables status, gives out a simple line [23:20] makes it easier to validate [23:20] Orbitrix: Mocp :) [23:20] thank you [23:22] hmm looks like it browses by folder structure by default [23:22] does not solve my problem, altho I asume its configurable? [23:22] i need to be able to browse my media by ID3 tags, specificly "Album Artist" (not simply "Artist") [23:23] I have a perixx mx-2000 gaming mouse which is refusing to work with Ubuntu. I have looked at the raw data (or lack of it) from the terminal using sudo cat and I have nothing whatsoever coming through. I keep having to borrow mice to move my cursor. [23:25] usr13: okay, so i guess i'll have to create two separate checks, ubuntu = ufw status [23:25] thanks === wedgwood is now known as wedgwood_away [23:30] alou [23:32] hey there, has anybody clue when qt 4.8.5 could be avaliable for ubuntu? [23:37] hey [23:38] so if i do: ufw allow from 192.168.0.0/24 to any port 22 proto tcp, how can i later remove/undo this entry? [23:39] i see a "deny" but i'm guess that'll just change an entry to deny, when what i really want is the entry to no longer exists priopr to the allow [23:39] there is delete command ... [23:40] can anybody recommend which version of ubuntu to use..i want to install it along with windows 7 [23:40] budovi: can one replace the word "allow" with "delete" and it'll remove exactly the right one? [23:40] i dont want to do the "number" route cause that requires more script checking [23:40] (i'm writing a script) [23:41] dark_soul: i guess it should work, or list the rules, find out number and that will definitely work [23:41] leo03: 12.04 if you want a long support [23:41] How to set ACPI throttling, to slow down CPU ? [23:42] K1l: thanks..can we share the file system on both windows 7 and ubuntu [23:44] budovi: ugh, it doesn't work [23:44] i gotta do numbered, thats more headache for me, cause now i gotta do a check to see what numbered the rule was assigned === tripleclones is now known as tripleclones_ === tripleclones_ is now known as triple-clones [23:46] I have 3 raw HID inputs from my gaming mouse but none of them show anything when I move the mouse... [23:47] okay thanks [23:49] i have 12.04 x64 with an ati 6770 dual monitors, one is 5 yrs newer than the other and aspect ratio is different. Running expanded screen, flicker at bottom right... <---realizes this is probably the most annoying post ever, considering all machines flickered back in the day. [23:55] can somebody please redirect me on some information how to debug kernel freeze in ubuntu? [23:57] budovi, https://wiki.ubuntu.com/Kernel/Debugging [23:59] Umm [23:59] Is this where I can get help with Ubuntu? [23:59] Hello, I have a perixx gaming mouse which is basically 2 HID keyboards and an HID raw input, unfortunately, none of these inputs are recognized by going to the device file in /Dev/inputs and using sudo cat. I have already edited HID.d in an attempt to let the mouse be recognized but to no avail.
