| Shining_KoW210 | I had Windows 8 on my server, then I booted 12.04 via USB and created a 50gb extended partition to install Ubuntu on. Now I want to get rid of the 100gb Primary partition that Windows 8 is on, the boot is still on the primary partition. How do I safely remove Windows 8, and keep Ubuntu? | 00:02 |

| Tiitus | Good evening guys, just wondering if someone can explain booting off of LAN. MY problem is windows server 2008/ fedora 18 are more than 700mb (cd) and my servers only take cd's.

| lcabreza | dioioib: what do you mean maping ? are you using desktop or laptop ? what type of video card exactly you have ? did you already installed the latest drivers ? | 01:11 |
| dioioib | right now I am using generic dirvers. Mapping as in the entire surface is mapped to one monitor only so you don't get distorted input. Ie you draw a circle and get a circle not an oval.

| Riley88 | what do u mean | 01:26 |
| Riley88 | login for what | 01:26 |
| hal | I'm on Ubuntu 12.04. I need to run a bash script on user login and logout, that runs as the logged in user, and runs only once (usually to the desktop). Apparently, according to others, /etc/rc.local is not the right place. Does anyone know what the best approach is please? | 01:26 |
| hal | note that bash login/logout is no good, because it runs whenever the terminal is opened | 01:27 |
| com5 | I have been trying cron but it just disappears after reboot | 01:27 |
| com5 | Riley88, what do you mean what do I mean, login you know when you login | 01:28 |
| com5 | Login to ubuntu | 01:28 |
| com5 | Okay I am going to type "how to run a bash script at login ubuntu" one more time into google | 01:29 |
| hal | com5: that may be pretty much what I need to do too!! Let me know if you find an answer! ;) | 01:30 |
| ring0 | run gnome-session-properties and add it | 01:30 |
| hal | ring0: I'm on ubuntu 12.04, so I use unity. I also need to run the script on logout | 01:30 |
| ring0 | hal, i was not talking to you | 01:31 |
| com5 | ring0, I can't believe that it is soooooooooooo freeck'n difficult! | 01:31 |
| com5 | Some posts say to add it with the startup app but it doesn't seem to run | 01:32 |
| com5 | when I do it that way that is | 01:33 |
| hal | com5: you can add it to either /etc/bash.bashrc or ~/.bashrc, but it will run on login to the desktop and every time you open a terminal | 01:34 |
| Psil0cybin | oh yea | 01:34 |
| com5 | Yeah it must only run at login and not every time a terminal emulator is run | 01:35 |

| gmachine_24 | Greetings, Earthlings. I run Ubuntu 12.04 on a computer used as a music server with a 40GB IDE hd as the main drive; wondering if I can instead boot from a USB flash drive with Ubuntu installed on it; have trouble with the IDE drive from time to time. | 01:37 |
| mgolisch | gmachine_24: should work if the machine can boot from usb | 01:38 |
| com5 | Oh, that is where I currently had it and it wasn't running | 01:38 |
| Riley88 | yes gmachine_24 | 01:38 |
| gmachine_24 | Guest76100: are you thinking your magicjack will run under ubuntu? | 01:38 |
| Riley88 | do u want to do a live cd or a full install | 01:38 |
| ring0 | com5, then something is wrong with the script, you want to run | 01:39 |
| gmachine_24 | Riley88, mgolisch, thanks. I was thinking of a full install so I can save updates, etc. | 01:39 |
| Guest76100 | I have an SIP app that works but I need to get the 20 digit "password" this requires me to scan it with a utility under wine with MJ mounted as a physical drive | 01:39 |
| Riley88 | you can just make sure your flash or hdd is big enough and when you run the ubuntu installer just make sure its plugged in and select it during the parition set up | 01:40 |
| gmachine_24 | So, a full install is possible, corect? | 01:40 |
| gmachine_24 | correct, even | 01:40 |
| com5 | Yes good point, there have been issues with it but the latest revision is testing all good | 01:40 |

| Riley88 | yes gmachine_24 | 01:40 |
| mgolisch | gmachine_24: sure provided the thumbdrive has enough storage space | 01:40 |
| jkbbwr | How can I manage thi | 01:40 |
| gmachine_24 | I was thinking of 16GB | 01:40 |
| gmachine_24 | thumb drive | 01:40 |
| Riley88 | should be fine | 01:40 |
| gmachine_24 | cool. thanks. | 01:41 |

| Guest76100 | Gmachine_24 you can install it non live on a usb using the cd and the flashdrive as your physical drive to install, you wont be able to take the FD to other PC's but it would be able to run like the desktop OS, not the live version | 01:41 |
| gmachine_24 | Riley88, does Ubuntu really take up that much? I've seen people say that but it seems like way more than I ever use. | 01:41 |
| Riley88 | on a full install yes | 01:41 |
| Riley88 | actually i think its about 9 | 01:41 |
| gmachine_24 | I guess the days of the 1GB install are gone for good. :>) | 01:42 |
| Riley88 | if u run just the live cd its only about 800mbs | 01:42 |
| Guest76100 | ubuntu core might install smaller than that | 01:42 |
| Riley88 | gmachine_24 you could go with xubuntu or something and itll be a little less | 01:42 |
| Riley88 | or even lubuntu | 01:43 |
| gmachine_24 | Riley88, the space is not an issue and flash drives get cheaper every day. So even a 32GB drive is doable. I just want to get rid of this other drive because it's so fickle and I don't want to use yet another IDE drive. | 01:43 |

| gmachine_24 | ha. good one. | 01:57 |
| SaMOOrai | hi all | 01:57 |
| gmachine_24 | Guest76100: Now for heaven sake tell us how you did it. | 01:57 |
| SaMOOrai | could anyone help me with a XBMC problem please? | 01:57 |
| Guest76100 | $ sudo mount /dev/sr1 /media/ | 01:57 |
| Guest76100 | mount: block device /dev/sr1 is write-protected, mounting read-only | 01:57 |
| tomyproblol | that's make two days i try to configure a 7750 1gddr5 double diamond overclocked multimedia and that's make the job lol | 01:58 |
| tomyproblol | but my resolution is not correct with a res 1920x1080 | 01:58 |
| gmachine_24 | I hate when I'm reading a post in a forum and I've read all these things about what someone tried and didn't work and the final post says: "OK, great, I finally got it!! Thanks!" Without any explanation of what it took to get the thing to work. | 01:58 |
| tomyproblol | my resolution is not fully on my screen | 01:58 |
| SaMOOrai | does anyone know much about XBMC on UBUNTU ? | 01:59 |
| Riley88 | tomy try lowering the res | 01:59 |
| tomyproblol | how lol | 01:59 |
| Riley88 | the driver probably dosnt support that high of a res | 01:59 |
| Riley88 | resolution | 01:59 |
| tomyproblol | i am new on ubuntu you have a link ? | 01:59 |
| Riley88 | in display | 01:59 |
| Guest76100 | ^ that gave me the physical contents of the magic jack drive with the executable, then I ran it in wine with a magicjack util found at a website I will link you to | 01:59 |
| Riley88 | search for display in the lense | 01:59 |
| tomyproblol | low resolution ! | 01:59 |
| tomyproblol | okay | 01:59 |
| SaMOOrai | what kind of video card.. if its ATI , ati has .deb linux drivers for most of their newer cards | 02:00 |
| gmachine_24 | Guest76100: Interesting. | 02:00 |
| Guest76100 | This requires wine but it will run natively in linux after you have the password, then you can use a sip server line ekiga or twinkle | 02:00 |
| tomyproblol | i am on 12.10 | 02:00 |
| gmachine_24 | Guest76100: but I never run wine | 02:00 |
| tomyproblol | in my catalyst ? | 02:00 |
| jkbbwr | Whats the right way to read stdin from a boot process | 02:00 |
| Riley88 | you can do it there but i suggest trying the normal display settings | 02:00 |
| jkbbwr | (and create a boot process) | 02:00 |
| tomyproblol | what is normal display settings ? | 02:01 |
| Guest76100 | For this I had to because its not open source with magicjack, I had to extract the password with a program that reads the startup info for the magic jack program on the devices storage | 02:01 |
| tomyproblol | <3 | 02:01 |
| gmachine_24 | Guest76100: Well, I know my MJ password. So, . . . | 02:02 |
| Guest76100 | For the device itself or just the acocunt password? | 02:02 |
| Guest76100 | there are two different ones, there is one registered th=o the device as somewhat of an encrypted IMEI and one you set for the account, they are both totally different | 02:03 |
| gmachine_24 | Guest76100: Hmmm......... I didn't know there were two so I'm guessing the account passwd | 02:03 |
| Guest76100 | The device password is always 20 digits like an IMEI for a cell phone, this is the one you need for your sip server | 02:03 |
| gmachine_24 | Guest76100: but since I run it on a Windows 7 machine I probably can get the device password fairly easily? | 02:03 |
| Guest76100 | Yep, I'm getting the links for you now, do you want the basic linux tut? | 02:04 |
| gmachine_24 | Yes, please. | 02:04 |

| Tiitus | Can someone please explain to me, and I mean explain in detail, why it is that a 4gb usb cannot transfer a 3 gb file onto it.. | 02:53 |
| jacer | Because you're running a 16bit file system on the USB drive, probably fat32 | 02:53 |
| wilee-nilee | MultiSith, Where else you looking or exspect to see them? | 02:54 |
| jacer | err 32 bit file system | 02:54 |
| pvl1 | Tiitus: what format is the 4gb usb | 02:54 |
| wilee-nilee | Tiitus, Hit ctrl-h and look for a trash file. | 02:54 |
| Tiitus | pvl1: it's fat32 | 02:55 |

| pvl1 | PAYM3: ^^ | 02:56 |
| evilytwisted_ | from getlibs to installing gnome keyring.. | 02:56 |
| MultiSith | the post includes a semi-detailed account of how I got here. | 02:56 |
| pvl1 | evilytwisted_: oh you read through tha tlink | 02:56 |
| evilytwisted_ | yeah.... and stil Nothing | 02:56 |
| evilytwisted_ | its trying to get me to create a sybolic link.. | 02:57 |
| MultiSith | i'm on xubuntu now that i managed to get onto one hard drive in the old root (or a mirror of it) sda1 | 02:57 |
| evilytwisted_ | when i do... the directory isnt found.. | 02:57 |
| pvl1 | evilytwisted_: so create the dir | 02:57 |
| pvl1 | mkdir | 02:57 |
| wilee-nilee | MultiSith, Your first question is confusing, can you sort of explain when where and what you have done, and exspect. | 02:57 |
| evilytwisted_ | pvl1: its trying to find a .so file.. | 02:58 |
| somesayitwrong | android based on ubuntu? | 02:58 |
| evilytwisted_ | android is based off a monolithic linux | 02:58 |
| evilytwisted_ | other than that.. its based off nothing | 02:58 |
| pvl1 | konam its not a left click, the software probably asks for an "if_click", irrilevant (spelling?) of which button | 02:58 |
| evilytwisted_ | its is own version of linux | 02:58 |
| pvl1 | monolothic u say? | 02:59 |
| pvl1 | and i understand, but make the directory to make the sym link in | 02:59 |
| evilytwisted_ | what i saw off the web yes | 02:59 |
| vfw | android is just google using linux to create an OS for mobile devices, not really based on any distro that I know of. | 02:59 |
| pvl1 | oh wait | 02:59 |
| evilytwisted_ | pvl1 i got that done.. | 02:59 |

| evilytwisted_ | it gave me no more errors except.. alot of other stuff | 02:59 |
| konam | pvl1 does it happen to all ubuntu setups or is a mouse setting? ( logitech has software to configure their wireless mouse) | 03:00 |

| bean | oh, Coded1 sudo ppa-purge ppa:langdalepl/gvfs-mtp | 05:26 |
| somsip | CoJaBo: beacuse the image was still in use. Autoremove might well get rid of the headers and source if you have them. So repeat this for other dead kernels and you have more disk space and can try your update again | 05:26 |

| peawormsworth | is there a convenient way to remount root partition into ro mode for an fsck without reboot? | 05:34 |
| somsip | b2w: I posted a link to the repo already. Find them yourself from there | 05:35 |
| bean | peawormsworth, can't really work on root if its mounted, gotta do a live cd or similar | 05:35 |
| peawormsworth | well I did it, but it was not convenient. | 05:35 |
| peawormsworth | someone mentioned "telinit 1" as an option, but apparently ubuntu does not support this well. | 05:36 |
| peawormsworth | what worked was: using "sudo fuser -v -m / 2>&1 | grep F" to find all the services to stop. | 05:37 |
| b2w | bean,can i use those for my project,....is there any copyright problem on using it? | 05:37 |
| Jordan_U | !fsck | peawormsworth | 05:37 |
| ubottu | peawormsworth: fsck is the FileSystem ChecKer, which runs automatically when you boot if you didn't shutdown cleanly. Type "man fsck" for information on running it manually. The command "sudo touch /forcefsck && sudo shutdown -r now" will force a reboot and a filesystem check; "sudo touch /fastboot" will skip a filesystem check at next reboot | 05:37 |
| bean | b2w, it all depends on the software license. | 05:37 |
| peawormsworth | ubottu: thanks for the info. I am interested in mounting ro without reboot. | 05:37 |
| ubottu | peawormsworth: I am only a bot, please don't think I'm intelligent :) | 05:37 |
| Jordan_U | peawormsworth: Out of curiosity, why is not rebooting a requirement? | 05:38 |
| peawormsworth | It worked by using ALT-CTRL-F1 and then stop services dbus rsyslog cups pulseaudio lightdm and killed a couple of unity processes. Then I could run "mount -o remount,ro /" and it was ro. and then after I just remount,rw and start up services and ALT-CTRL-F7 and lightdm login was back and working. | 05:39 |
| bean | b2w, you may want to read this: http://www.gnu.org/licenses/license-list.html | 05:39 |
| peawormsworth | Well it is more convenient not to reboot and there may be a service running that needs to be 24/7. Like a web server. | 05:40 |
| bean | peawormsworth, you don't often need to fsck | 05:40 |
| fakecaviar | fsck is for ext2 old days | 05:41 |
| peawormsworth | well ... its not for fsck for what I am trying to do. I was just saying that as a possible reason. But still... would be nice to be able to fsck root on live system. | 05:41 |
| bean | peawormsworth, it has to check, and potentially modify, on the block level, theres no way that'd ever be a good idea. | 05:42 |
| bean | fakecaviar, not so. | 05:42 |
| peawormsworth | well i am running ubuntu from usb so on accidental disconnect, fsck is often useful/required. | 05:43 |
| fakecaviar | btrfs claims that it can do live fsck but the data security... who knows? | 05:43 |
| * fakecaviar says no to btrfs | 05:43 | |
| bean | peawormsworth, ah, maybe get a small hard drive to boot it from instead? :) | 05:44 |
| === bean is now known as bean|sleep | ||
| peawormsworth | the reason I want root to go ro, is because I want to do entire system backups. This usually requires some outside OS like a live USB to do it. | 05:47 |
| peawormsworth | I would prefer to be able to backup from within the running system. | 05:47 |
| peawormsworth | Which works for me, but I have not done this is ro mode. I do not know whether it is reliable in rw mode. Probably not. Testing works, but probably will fail sometimes. | 05:48 |
| fakecaviar | i run ubuntu on ufd for years. there is no "disconnect" such thing | 05:48 |
| fakecaviar | zero times | 05:48 |
| peawormsworth | fakecaviar: I was referring to when a USB stick was pulled from the computer while the operating system is in use. | 05:49 |
| fakecaviar | O.o why do you do that? | 05:50 |
| peawormsworth | emergency or accident. | 05:50 |
| fakecaviar | are you a spy? | 05:50 |
| jacer | peawormsworth you can do block level CDP with rsync | 05:50 |
| peawormsworth | Thats why I use SD cards now since they are less likely to get bumped out. | 05:50 |
| peawormsworth | I'll look at that, but my specific setup uses a luks encrypted partition for root. And the backup creates a unique master key, so the backup root key will not be comprimised if the original is lost. | 05:52 |
| fakecaviar | some live usb distros can fo that - boot off the ufd then remove it from the usb port | 05:52 |
| === rafael is now known as Guest9867 | ||

| === AbhiK_ is now known as AbhiK | ||
| c|oneman | wilee-nilee: I made one in the web-interface at the host | 06:14 |
| peawormsworth | InFlames: I know... that is default. | 06:14 |
| InFlames | so maybe the kernels would be a good idea | 06:14 |
| InFlames | i did forget to do that | 06:14 |
| c|oneman | how do you login without a root password? | 06:15 |
| wilee-nilee | c|oneman, I would wipe the password for root it is a waste of time in ubuntu and not needed, and seems to be causing you problems | 06:15 |
| c|oneman | I see. | 06:15 |
| c|oneman | Indeed it is | 06:15 |
| c|oneman | passwd and blank? | 06:15 |
| c|oneman | dpesnt work | 06:16 |
| wilee-nilee | c|oneman, Ubuntu is designed not to need it like you would see in debian and others. | 06:16 |
| c|oneman | I can wipe it in the web interface maybe | 06:16 |
| peawormsworth | c|oneman: Your installation sounds different. But maybe just try: "sudo -i" and then "passwd" to set the root password to be the same as ur user login. | 06:16 |
| prototype | thank u friends .. i got that | 06:16 |
| wilee-nilee | c|oneman, http://www.debianadmin.com/enable-and-disable-ubuntu-root-password.html | 06:17 |
| InFlames | yup, like 6 old kernels, heh | 06:17 |
| wastl | cloneman: login as user - do a sudo su - use passwd to changw root pwd | 06:17 |
| c|oneman | change it to the same as my own cloneman password? | 06:18 |
| wilee-nilee | c|oneman, That link I posted gives one command to remove it | 06:18 |
| wilee-nilee | or lock it rather | 06:19 |
| c|oneman | did I mess things up by installing stuff using root so far? | 06:19 |
| wilee-nilee | c|oneman, depends on what you installed. | 06:20 |
| c|oneman | ubuntu-desktop, chromiun, nxserver | 06:20 |
| wilee-nilee | c|oneman, Those would all need a sudo so not sure really. | 06:20 |
| c|oneman | this might also explain why I cant change the time in unity | 06:21 |
| c|oneman | the stupid unlock thing | 06:21 |
| wilee-nilee | the server would be the one that would concern me, however I know nothing about servers | 06:21 |
| copia | hi | 06:22 |
| copia | why problem: Warning: Partition 2 does not end on cylinder boundary in all partition | 06:23 |
| c|oneman | https://dl.dropbox.com/u/570792/unlock_bullshit.png | 06:24 |
| c|oneman | is that root account thing a reason why I can't unlock settings? | 06:24 |
| peawormsworth | copia: this may not be a big deal. Where are u seeing this message? | 06:25 |
| peawormsworth | if you are partitioning using gparted, then there is a command to make the partitions "nice". | 06:26 |
| wilee-nilee | c|oneman, Since you have done something that is not advised, which may be no big deal, I can't say, it is out of the ordinary so people being able to answer you with a clear conscious may be few and far between. lock the root and then check. | 06:27 |
| c|oneman | chromium doesn't seem to want to start either :/ | 06:28 |
| peawormsworth | copia: If u are partition with "parted" the option is "-aoptimal" which makes the partition fall nicely onto the boundaries of "sectors" or something like that. | 06:28 |
| peawormsworth | either way I dont think the error message is that important. It may cause slightly slower hard drive responses... I dont know for sure. | 06:29 |
| c|oneman | how does one access ubuntu for the first time on a fresh install, without using root? | 06:30 |
| aeon-ltd | c|oneman: i'm pretty sure you created a user upon install | 06:31 |
| wilee-nilee | c|oneman, The sudo command in a terminal or when asked. THe password you made when installing is for logging in and access super user. | 06:31 |
| somsip | c|oneman: a default user is created as part of the setup process, and that uses has limited root access | 06:31 |
| peawormsworth | c|oneman: during installation u will setup a user account. This user account will have admin permssion... so that user can call "sudo {command}" to do things as root. | 06:31 |
| c|oneman | lol | 06:31 |
| peawormsworth | c|oneman: after you can create non admin accounts that cannot sudo stuff. | 06:31 |
| c|oneman | perhaps its in the docs @ the VPS. The OS is install is automated. | 06:32 |
| peawormsworth | c|oneman: I found the lack of root weird when I first switched to debian. I know how u are thinking. You will forget about root after a bit and not miss it. | 06:33 |
| peawormsworth | sudo makes it far less likely to accidently do stupid things to your own system. | 06:33 |
| c|oneman | heh im using root on a few other systems as well, I wonder what problems I caused on those | 06:34 |
| peawormsworth | if u need root for a while, "sudo -i" and then later exit when ur done. | 06:34 |
| free4life132 | what does sudo -i do? | 06:34 |
| peawormsworth | u can read about it here "man sudo" | 06:35 |
| peawormsworth | Im not fresh on the details, but I use this to become root for a while. | 06:35 |
| free4life132 | i should type that in the terminal right | 06:35 |
| copia | :peawormswort this error: whit fdisk -l | 06:35 |
| peawormsworth | yes. CTRL-ALT-T and then do that. | 06:36 |
| copia | peawormsworth: in all partitions, two disck | 06:36 |
| peawormsworth | copia: i suspect the partition boundaries do not fall directly at the borders of the sectors or cylinders or something. I do not think this is a big issue.. I would search on google for your error and see what others think and possible solutions. In general I think this is no problem... but Im not possitive. | 06:38 |
| peawormsworth | I know I got similar errors when trying to make partitions myself and specified the boundaries directly. No I use parted and use the optimal option as I mentioned above. In that way parted decides to put the real edges of the partition at the borders of the sectors for me. | 06:39 |
| peawormsworth | dont run this! but as an example: "parted -s -aoptimal /dev/sdX mkpart primary ext2 1 1G" | 06:41 |
| peawormsworth | so I would like to remove all configuration files from my computer. I was thinking of running through every package and: | 06:43 |
| peawormsworth | apt-get remove --purge {package} ; apt-get install package | 06:43 |
| peawormsworth | but i think this would be very inefficient. I was wondering if there was a way to instruct packages to overwrite all config files with new/fresh ones. | 06:43 |
| aeon-ltd | peawormsworth: if you're removing all configs, why not just reinstall? | 06:44 |
| peawormsworth | for speed. | 06:44 |
| peawormsworth | aeon-ltd: I am actually trying to make it possible to do an entire system copy of all applications minus the private config data. | 06:45 |
| mark_dlt | Hi I would like to know how to fix a problem that i have done change the ? that had admin right and not able to gain admin right | 06:45 |
| peawormsworth | I can do this, but copying all but the /home dirs and then chroot to new copies and adduser's... which removes all user data under the home dirs, but does not remove data from the /etc/* config files like /etc/hosts. | 06:46 |
| copia | peawormsworth: I thought it was serious, I'm calmer now | 06:46 |
| peawormsworth | copia: still its never to early to consider backups. if you dont backup, u should allow this to scare u into doing it. | 06:47 |
| peawormsworth | at least for ur home directory. | 06:47 |
| Jordan_U | copia: "Cylinders" are ficticious with modern (within the last decade) drives. What's important is alignment to sector (and with SSD, erasure block), and even then only for performance reasons. | 06:47 |
| mark_dlt | so there is no fix apart from a backup | 06:48 |
| peawormsworth | mark_dlt: I cannot understand ur issue. | 06:49 |
| copia | wow backup, thanks. Now find disk | 06:49 |

| wilee-nilee | tomy, Have you modified it is this a fresh install? | 07:04 |
| Ben64 | ClientAlive: you could export a list of packages then have the other one install those | 07:04 |
| tomy | a fresh install ! | 07:05 |
| peawormsworth | tomy: is compiz part of unity? or kde? or wat? sory i dont think i have compiz anymore. | 07:05 |
| ClientAlive | Ben64: how can I do that? | 07:05 |
| choppy | ClientAlive i have something in my software center called "sync between computers" | 07:05 |
| c|oneman | peawormsworth: where would I find this first admin user, if he exists? | 07:05 |
| wilee-nilee | peawormsworth, unity is a plugin in compiz | 07:05 |
| tomy | what is the command for start compiz on shell console in sudo ? | 07:06 |
| wilee-nilee | tomy, where are you going to run this command per-say? | 07:06 |
| === AbhiK is now known as somsubhra | ||
| peawormsworth | c|oneman: the admin user will be the user that you first setup when installing ubuntu. You can add new admin users under Settings->Users and then add a user and click the unlock and then click Standard and change to admin. | 07:07 |
| === somsubhra is now known as AbhiK | ||
| tomy | on console ! | 07:07 |
| c|oneman | CLI | 07:07 |
| peawormsworth | c|oneman: are u saying that no user account has admin rights on ur computer? If so... this is bad newz. | 07:07 |
| c|oneman | I'm saying I don't know. I unlocked the root account to get a list of users | 07:08 |
| c|oneman | how would I see which one is admin, if he exists | 07:08 |
| peawormsworth | i think it is a special group applied to the user account. | 07:08 |
| peawormsworth | im not sure. | 07:08 |
| tomy | on root ! i try run compiz gestionnary and i don't know the command lol | 07:08 |
| cmagnificent | so when I try to burn an ubuntu live cd and boot off of it, I get a kernel panic of not being able to mount the root fs on block device(0,0) does anyone know why this might be? | 07:09 |
| peawormsworth | But if you run "groups {username}" from root, u will see list of groups applied to the user account. | 07:09 |
| cmagnificent | note this has been true of the latest 12.04 images, the 12.10 images, and the 13.04 images | 07:09 |
| c|oneman | what about a list of all the groups | 07:09 |
| wilee-nilee | cmagnificent, Have you checked the Md5sum of the ISO? | 07:09 |
| peawormsworth | I think the group name is "adm" not sure. If important I can find out more. | 07:10 |
| Jordan_U | tomy: Do not log in as root. Do not run any program as root unless you are absolutely sure that it is designed to be run as root and needs to be. | 07:10 |
| peawormsworth | or maybe the group is "admin"... I will check and get back to u in a min. | 07:10 |
| cmagnificent | yes, the md5sum checks out | 07:10 |
| michaela | is there any idiot proof books or on line tutorials to learn the linux file system | 07:11 |
| cmagnificent | I have downloaded the image(s) multiple times and burned them on different machines | 07:11 |
| c|oneman | as per cat /etc/group , looks like theres i no admin group that exists. There's adm? | 07:11 |
| tomy | ok but my gestionnary compiz don't want to start after a fresh installation | 07:11 |
| tomy | in 12.10 ubuntu | 07:11 |
| wilee-nilee | michaela, There are not any real idiot proof books for linux really, you have a lot of control, and it is difficult to cover every base. | 07:12 |
| choppy | tomy did you installed video drivers? | 07:12 |
| tomy | yes all works ! | 07:13 |
| aeon-ltd | michaela: again too many fs, you're gonna have to choose one and start from there | 07:13 |
| peawormsworth | c|oneman: I see these groups attached to a user with admin (sudo) privileges: "{username} adm dialout cdrom plugdev fuse lpadmin admin sambashare" | 07:13 |
| aeon-ltd | michaela: if you google about the ext[extended] filesystem you'll find a lot of info | 07:14 |
| tomy | my 3d acceleration is activated !! | 07:14 |
| choppy | tomy go to system preferences and turn on desktop effects | 07:14 |
| peawormsworth | Im unsure which is the important one to allow sudo access, but I think if you add that group to an existing user, then that user will be able to call "sudo <cmd>" or be able to install new software from the software center, etc. | 07:14 |
| tomy | ok | 07:14 |
| peawormsworth | also, if you are logged into ubuntu / unity as root or an admin user, you can change any existing user to have admin rights by going through: Settings->Users and clicking user and change from Standard to Admin access. | 07:15 |
| tomy | system preference in french where lol | 07:16 |
| c|oneman | http://askubuntu.com/questions/43317/what-is-the-difference-between-the-sudo-and-admin-group | 07:16 |
| peawormsworth | c|oneman: that link know more then me. | 07:18 |
| TakeItEZ | peawormsworth: prior 12.04 "admin" was the group for sudo access, since 12.04 it is "sudo" group, but admin still does too | 07:18 |
| peawormsworth | Im running 12.04 here, but I guess it was an upgraded version. I checked on a new 12.10 install and yes, no "admin" and instead "sudo" group was there. | 07:19 |
| TakeItEZ | peawormsworth: even on 12.10 /etc/sudoers still contains the "%admin ALL...." line | 07:20 |
| TakeItEZ | (important for upgrades from earlier versions) | 07:21 |
| tomy | my ubuntu is in french ..... where is system preference ? | 07:21 |
| c|oneman | top right | 07:21 |
| peawormsworth | yes. I was just checking those too. I see both users in both versions. Weird that %admin is specified slightly different then $sudo line... i wonder what the difference is. | 07:21 |
| === tadp0le is now known as tadpole | ||

| === daniel is now known as Guest44099 | ||
| peawormsworth | maybe, but I dont think that was the issue, because I rebooted to check it. And still no password required. But its not an issue now. I must have mucked up the sudo configuration at some point on that one. | 07:30 |
| TakeItEZ | peawormsworth: just a tipp, don't mess with the sudoers file if you aren't sure what you change... | 07:30 |
| wilee-nilee | peawormsworth | 07:31 |
| peawormsworth | but messing is the fastest way to learn. | 07:31 |
| wilee-nilee | oops sorry I was just going to say you can remove the need for a password as suggested that sounds like what you did | 07:32 |

| Capprentice | Hi ! any one knows how to fix a mp4 file ? I have just copied a file from a USB drive but the file says it is corrupted though I have played it yesterday. Should I use handbrake to re encode it ? | 07:35 |
| ikonia | Capprentice: as long as you have the source data - re-encode it | 07:35 |
| ikonia | Capprentice: you can't re-encode the damaged file though | 07:36 |
| Capprentice | Will it work. Im re-encoding it though. | 07:36 |
| ikonia | Capprentice: do you have the original source this envode was taken from ? | 07:36 |
| ikonia | ls | 07:36 |
| ikonia | oops | 07:36 |
| ikonia | ls | 07:36 |
| Capprentice | Hm just finished. It shows all green. Audio is present but the video is green. Yes I have the original file. | 07:37 |
| c|oneman | peawormsworth: if I sudo su, am I acting as root or as sudo? | 07:37 |
| ikonia | Capprentice: ok - so as long as your source file is sane , you can re-encode | 07:37 |
| ikonia | c|oneman: you sould not do that | 07:37 |
| peawormsworth | I think that make you "become" root. | 07:37 |
| wilee-nilee | c|oneman, you want sudo -i for root | 07:37 |
| ikonia | c|oneman: and there is no "acting as sudo" sudo is not a user | 07:37 |
| Capprentice | Is there a tool on Ubuntu to fix this ? Ok what do you meant by original source ? I have saved it on my Usb Drive. Im re encoding it from there. | 07:38 |
| peawormsworth | you should just run command directly from sudo as much as possible. Just prefix what you want with sudo <cmd> | 07:38 |
| tomy | super user commande = sudo .... | 07:38 |
| c|oneman | ok. | 07:38 |
| choppy | tomy dance on terminal | 07:38 |
| ikonia | Capprentice: the original source is the source you used to encode the now broken file | 07:38 |
| tomy | lol | 07:38 |
| Capprentice | Yes. Im working with the original file. It is damaged. | 07:39 |
| ikonia | Capprentice: no, you said the encoded file was damaged | 07:39 |
| peawormsworth | sometimes you may need to become root. I find this happens when piping multiple commands together on bash. Ther is prob a way to do it using sudo... but in these cases I just use "sudo -i" to become root... do stuff... and then "exit" out of root. | 07:39 |
| choppy | tomy you use ubuntu? | 07:39 |
| tomy | 12.10 | 07:39 |
| ikonia | Capprentice: I'm talking about the file you used to do the original encode | 07:39 |
| Capprentice | No the original file is damaged. It does not play. When I try to play it on VLC it says corrupted file. | 07:40 |
| ikonia | Capprentice: then it is pointless to re-encode using that file as it's damaged | 07:40 |
| Capprentice | The file is 167 MB | 07:40 |
| Capprentice | ok. | 07:40 |
| peawormsworth | Also... I think all sudo commands are logged ... but I havent check lately... anyhow, you can look back to see what you did to screw things up. if that happens to you. | 07:40 |

| c|oneman | cliff notes: french people say 'bug' when they mean crash/ | 07:45 |
| * fakecaviar bites tomy like a zerg | 07:46 | |
| fakecaviar | really? | 07:46 |
| ikonia | fakecaviar: stop it please. | 07:46 |
| ikonia | fakecaviar: yes | 07:46 |
| Capprentice | Im wandering if I can run nepomuk on Ubuntu 12.04. Is it posssible to run Nepomuk ? If I can, does this make KDE apps run better ? Im getting somekind of "Waiting for Nepomuk server to start" error while opening Kmail". | 07:47 |
| tomy | right back | 07:48 |
| Capprentice | Hi anyone knows how to run "Nepomuk Server" on Unity Ubuntu 12 ? | 07:48 |
| tomy | Linux tomy-System-Product-Name 3.5.0-25-generic #39-Ubuntu SMP Mon Feb 25 18:26:58 UTC 2013 x86_64 x86_64 x86_64 GNU/Linux | 07:49 |
| tomy | i obtain this ! | 07:49 |
| * fakecaviar uninstalls nepomuk | 07:49 | |
| ikonia | tomy: looks solid, and this is Ubuntu 12.04 ? | 07:50 |
| ikonia | !info linux-image | 07:50 |
| ubottu | linux-image (source: linux-meta): Generic Linux kernel image.. In component main, is optional. Version 3.5.0.26.32 (quantal), package size 1 kB, installed size 32 kB | 07:50 |
| tomy | 12.10 ! | 07:50 |
| Capprentice | Im on a 64 bit CPU but my Kernel says PAE why is that ? Should not it be SMP ? | 07:50 |
| ikonia | Capprentice: please show me the output of "uname -a" | 07:50 |
| Capprentice | ikonia, here is it " Linux ubuntu-pc 3.2.0-38-generic-pae #61-Ubuntu SMP Tue Feb 19 12:39:51 UTC 2013 i686 i686 i386 GNU/Linux | 07:51 |
| ikonia | Capprentice: that's 32bit | 07:51 |
| ikonia | Capprentice: you are running a 32bit install | 07:51 |
| tomy | me i am 64 bit | 07:51 |
| Kartagis | why is software center running as soon as I hover over it? | 07:52 |
| TakeItEZ | !pae | Capprentice | 07:52 |
| ubottu | Capprentice: To use more than ~3.2GB RAM on a 32bit system you can install the PAE-enabled kernel. See https://help.ubuntu.com/community/EnablingPAE for more info | 07:52 |
| gegga | Gegga | 07:53 |
| Capprentice | Oh ! ok. As far as I can remember I have used Ubuntu 11.10 32 bit and it was running on a SMP kernel. | 07:54 |
| TakeItEZ | Capprentice: if you'd look on your uname output, you're still using a SMP kernel | 07:54 |
| peawormsworth | Kartagis: that should not happen. | 07:54 |
| TakeItEZ | Capprentice: SMP and PAE are different things | 07:54 |
| Kartagis | peawormsworth: I know it shouldn't, but it does | 07:55 |
| peawormsworth | Kartagis: is any other application running you move over others? | 07:55 |
| Capprentice | My unanme op says it is generic-pae and also SMP thats confused me. | 07:55 |
| Kartagis | peawormsworth: nope | 07:55 |
| ikonia | Capprentice: you can have 32 bit smp | 07:55 |
| TakeItEZ | Capprentice: SMP is "symetric multiprocessing" aka multi-cpu/-threating, PAE is memory expansion, both have nothing in common | 07:56 |
| peawormsworth | Kartagis: I would first try a reboot, but to check that this is not a temporary issue. | 07:57 |
| tomy | ikonia i have a list on a command !info linux-image you want ? | 07:57 |
| Kartagis | brb then | 07:58 |
| ikonia | tomy: no thanks | 07:59 |
| _d4vid | so after i change option own_windows yes i can see only half of conky how to fix that? my config http://paste.ubuntu.com/5627487/ | 08:00 |
| _d4vid | how to fix that? | 08:00 |
| tomy | sorry | 08:00 |
| wilee-nilee | _d4vid, You might take a screen shot, is it half on half off the screen? | 08:02 |
| _d4vid | wilee-nilee, no its half of size conky option i set in config file | 08:03 |
| Kartagis | peawormsworth: so far, it didn't happen | 08:03 |

| _d4vid | wilee-nilee, here https://dl.dropbox.com/u/26715415/conky.png | 08:04 |
| === packetfrog is now known as tadpole | ||
| peawormsworth | Kartagis: it seems to have been a software glitch. If it happens again, I would check ur mouse and keyboard. | 08:05 |
| peawormsworth | But if it is specific to "software center" only... then that is definately a software issue. | 08:06 |
| Capprentice | Is it safe to run a disk-check ( using fsck or sudo badblocks -sv /dev/sda3) on Ubuntu ? I have read in a forum that I should use "Disk Utility" instead disk check. I want to do it because folders are opening slow. I have windows and fedora on other partitions. Can running disk check harm other partitions ? Does ubuntu do a disk check/defrag automatically as Windows does ? | 08:06 |
| peawormsworth | note: I had a mouse that would randomly click and it appeared like a software issue. And Ive had keyboards where the alt or ctr keys would stick... also seems like software issue at times. | 08:06 |
| peawormsworth | Capprentice: If your system is slow... I would first check the space on partitions with "df -h" and then I would check "top" or better "htop" for some crazy memory hogs. | 08:08 |
| peawormsworth | if you see partitions in the 95% range... that is a problem. | 08:09 |
| wilee-nilee | !fsck | Capprentice | 08:09 |
| ubottu | Capprentice: fsck is the FileSystem ChecKer, which runs automatically when you boot if you didn't shutdown cleanly. Type "man fsck" for information on running it manually. The command "sudo touch /forcefsck && sudo shutdown -r now" will force a reboot and a filesystem check; "sudo touch /fastboot" will skip a filesystem check at next reboot | 08:09 |
| Capprentice | there is plenty of space available on my hdd. approx (30 Gb). and there is not much processing activity going on. | 08:09 |
| wilee-nilee | Capprentice, how full is the partition? | 08:09 |
| Capprentice | 20 GB | 08:09 |
| wilee-nilee | Capprentice, in a percentage. | 08:10 |
| dr_willis | i tend to fsck from a live cd. You are fscking the ubuntu filesystems. so there should be no affect on the other filesystems | 08:10 |
| Capprentice | 19% | 08:10 |
| dr_willis | I doubt if its the fs causing the slowness | 08:10 |
| Capprentice | sorry 45 % | 08:10 |
| c|oneman | you have no run chrome with --no-sandbox under OpenVZ linux machines, that was the problem. | 08:10 |
| wilee-nilee | Capprentice, cool, and yeah as dr_willis suggests. | 08:11 |
| dr_willis | Unless you are havin actual HD failure issues. the output of dmesg should mention those | 08:11 |
| Capprentice | Well few days back I tried installing Mageia. The installer was confusing to me. After installing mageia I have tried deleteing it. From then the problem started. | 08:11 |
| peawormsworth | also, you can force filecheck on reboot, but i foget the specifics... this may be a safer first option then specifying your own options. unless you understand the options already. | 08:12 |
| peawormsworth | !fsck | 08:13 |
| ubottu | fsck is the FileSystem ChecKer, which runs automatically when you boot if you didn't shutdown cleanly. Type "man fsck" for information on running it manually. The command "sudo touch /forcefsck && sudo shutdown -r now" will force a reboot and a filesystem check; "sudo touch /fastboot" will skip a filesystem check at next reboot | 08:13 |
| _d4vid | so guys.. | 08:13 |
| ikonia | why randomly run fsck | 08:13 |
| _d4vid | anyone have a same problem with conky? | 08:13 |
| Capprentice | While installing mageia I have mistakenly converted a primary partition into a logical one. Is that the reason of my problem ? | 08:13 |
| ikonia | _d4vid: no, or they would have said so | 08:13 |
| ikonia | Capprentice: ahhh here we go | 08:13 |
| ikonia | Capprentice: you can't convert a primary partition to a logical one | 08:14 |
| ikonia | Capprentice: so what did you really do | 08:14 |
| wilee-nilee | _d4vid, Ther is a #conky channel but only 28 people there, but you might get lucky. | 08:14 |
| wilee-nilee | *there | 08:15 |
| _d4vid | wilee-nilee, spasibo fyodorovna ^^ | 08:15 |
| ntzrmtthihu777 | anyone with experience with the higan Nintendo emulator | 08:16 |
| dr_willis | No one ever seems to actually read conky docs. ;) | 08:16 |
| ntzrmtthihu777 | dr_willis: conky has docs | 08:16 |
| ntzrmtthihu777 | ? | 08:16 |
| cristian_c | Hi | 08:16 |
| wilee-nilee | _d4vidno problem | 08:16 |
| dr_willis | 1000000000000 of exmples and pages of them . ;) | 08:16 |
| cristian_c | I'm using ubuntu 12.04 | 08:16 |
| cristian_c | After I executed the suspension and resume, chromium can't be started anymore | 08:16 |
| cristian_c | If I try to launch it from terminal, I get an error | 08:16 |
| cristian_c | pcilib: Cannot open /sys/bus/pci/devices/0000:00:02.1/resource: File or directory not found | 08:17 |
| cristian_c | Why? | 08:17 |
| Capprentice | Ok prior to installing anything I have created 9 partitions from Ubuntu live cd using Gparted. One for windows (primary), one for Fedora (primary) one for fedoras swap (primary) and from the rest of it I have created four logical partitions for Windows. and then finally created two partitions fr Ubuntu and its swap. While Installing Mageia I choose LVM partition and deleted fedora and its swap. | 08:17 |
| ntzrmtthihu777 | cristian_c: in general you need greater swap than ram for sucessfull susepnd | 08:17 |
| cristian_c | ntzrmtthihu777, but I can suspend/resume | 08:17 |
| dr_willis | Chris7mas: seen that issue mentioned befor.. never have heard/seen a definitive fix. or any fix really for it in here. | 08:17 |
| dr_willis | oops that was for christoffer ;)_ | 08:18 |
| ntzrmtthihu777 | cristian_c: like I said, *successfull* | 08:18 |
| Capprentice | But after installing Mageia I found ot that the sda2 and swap partitions are now labled as sda10 and sda11 | 08:18 |
| TakeItEZ | cristian_c: because one of your pci-device-drivers was messed up after resume. check what pci-device 00:02.1 is, lspci) i#d guess vga or wifi | 08:18 |
| ikonia | Capprentice: you've done a lot more than you are telling us | 08:18 |
| Capprentice | Again I have tried reinstalling Mageia over Mageia and this time I choose Force Primary Partition. and That again convert sda10 to sda2 and sda11 to sda3. Thats odd. | 08:19 |
| christoffer | dr_willis, it's hard with tab-completion for nicknames =) | 08:19 |
| Capprentice | Now Im havind this issue. | 08:19 |
| Capprentice | ikonia, yes Im sorry. | 08:19 |
| ntzrmtthihu777 | later | 08:19 |
| Capprentice | ikonia, I have messed with the HDD a lot. | 08:19 |
| linus | hi hi hi :D | 08:20 |
| cristian_c | TakeItEZ, it would be the output of the monitor, but I have no other information | 08:20 |
| ikonia | Capprentice: yeah, I'm going to leave that alone | 08:20 |
| Capprentice | Cant you help ? You know a lot about linux. Is there any tool to fix my issue ? or anything else ? I dont like waiting for folders to open. | 08:21 |
| cristian_c | TakeItEZ, any ideas? | 08:21 |
| ikonia | Capprentice: you're machine sounds a mess and you don't seem to actually know what you've changed, so I'm leaving it alone, | 08:21 |
| TakeItEZ | christoffer: "lspci -s 00:02.1" | 08:21 |
| cristian_c | TakeItEZ, ok | 08:22 |
| ikonia | Capprentice: it's dangerous to advise someone when they don't seem to actually know what they have done themselves | 08:22 |
| Capprentice | Okay :( | 08:22 |
| cristian_c | TakeItEZ, 00:02.1 Display controller: Intel Corporation Mobile 945GM/GMS/GME, 943/940GML Express Integrated Graphics Controller (rev 03) | 08:22 |
| peawormsworth | Capprentice: its hard to understand what ur issue could be. It is so complex setup and the issue is vague "it slow". I would suggest u do try fsck like u said because who knows with all that partition change/setup. | 08:22 |
| linus | can I make thunar theme on xubuntu 12.04 xfce 4.10 looks like xubuntu 12.10 default?http://xubuntu.org/wp-content/uploads/2011/09/quantal_06-600x337.png | 08:23 |
| Capprentice | peawormsworth, ok. I will try that. | 08:23 |
| TakeItEZ | cristian_c: well, vga as i guessed. check if you can give pm-suspend some options to reinitialize i915 (the intel-driver) after resuming | 08:23 |
| peawormsworth | also, I would try tailing some logs under /var/logs/ to see if something is complaining a lot. Sorry I cannot provide specifics, but sometimes an application i will go crazy and report output there. | 08:23 |
| ikonia | linus: if you know how | 08:23 |
| === matthewvz is now known as Guest10526 | ||
| linus | @ikonia I have change the theme according to xubuntu 12.10 release note | 08:23 |
| ikonia | linus: ok.....? | 08:24 |
| === Guest10526 is now known as matthewvz | ||
| TakeItEZ | cristian_c: sorry i cannot help you any further, i don't deal with that ver much (it just works for me). but there are options to unload/load modules on suspend/resume "somewhere" | 08:24 |
| peawormsworth | Capprentice: if you have a bad hard drive or something it will complain a lot about it in the logs... I jsut dont recall which one. Probably dmesg or soemthing. | 08:24 |
| cristian_c | TakeItEZ, ok, why only chromium (or chrome) and only logout and reboot, but everything else works? | 08:25 |
| cristian_c | TakeItEZ, ok | 08:25 |
| TakeItEZ | cristian_c: idk, sorry. sounds odd | 08:26 |
| linus | but it is still doesnt look like it | 08:26 |
| cristian_c | TakeItEZ, I try to do how you have told me. Thanks :) | 08:26 |

| Capprentice | Can I stop the "teamviewerd" process without uninstalling Teamviewer ? It is annoying as it always tries to connect teamviewer servers in the back ground. I can rename the file in /opt/teamviewer8/tv_bin. | 08:29 |
| ikonia | Capprentice: how did you set it to start at boot | 08:29 |
| ikonia | Capprentice: that is how you will need to undo it, as that package has not from from the ubuntu rpeo | 08:29 |

| rohitkav | I get this 403 error when configuring my webapp on apache2 | 08:30 |
| Capprentice | I did not do anything. I just have installed it by downloading the .deb package from teamviewer.com. Now it automatically starts at boot. | 08:30 |
| rohitkav | kindly help | 08:30 |
| ikonia | Capprentice: well, you need to find the service thats starting it and disable it | 08:30 |
| tomy | but the compiz config does not want to start again , i heva re installed all that and the application don't want to start , what i do ? | 08:30 |
| ikonia | rohitkav: you've not really given much information | 08:31 |
| rohitkav | kindly ask what you would like to know ikonia | 08:31 |
| Capprentice | I normally use BootUp Manager to disable services that I dont want. But I can not see any entry for teamviewerd there. | 08:31 |
| ikonia | rohitkav: information..... | 08:31 |
| TakeItEZ | cristian_c: try adding a file "/etc/pm/config.d/i915" containing just 1 line "SUSPEND_MODULES="i915" | 08:31 |
| Capprentice | What is "Upstart" ? | 08:31 |
| rohitkav | i have configured apache2 and was running my web application | 08:31 |
| ikonia | rohitkav: what version of ubuntu, what is your document root, is it viewing a "test" page, can you view a test page, what is your "web app" | 08:32 |
| rohitkav | just a normal webpage | 08:32 |
| rohitkav | when i run it i am gettin 403 message | 08:32 |
| rohitkav | You don't have permission to access / on this server. | 08:32 |
| ikonia | rohitkav: please re-read all the information I asked for | 08:32 |
| rohitkav | forbidden as | 08:32 |
| rohitkav | I got ubuntu 12.04 | 08:32 |
| rohitkav | document root in /etc/apache2/sites-available | 08:33 |
| ikonia | rohitkav: that is a config file | 08:33 |
| ikonia | rohitkav: that is not your document root | 08:33 |
| ikonia | rohitkav: where did you put the web page | 08:33 |
| rohitkav | oh | 08:33 |
| rohitkav | It's in my /home/rohit/Desktop/finalproject | 08:33 |
| ikonia | rohitkav: that is not where it should be | 08:33 |
| ikonia | rohitkav: the default document root is not there | 08:34 |
| Capprentice | Did you make a symlink to var/www ? | 08:34 |
| rohitkav | i have | 08:34 |
| ikonia | rohitkav: so have you either a.) changed the doucment root b.) put files in the wrong pleace | 08:34 |
| tomy | ubuntu 12.10 , problem with start application compiz config the application don't want to start !! | 08:34 |
| rohitkav | no Capprentice | 08:34 |
| peawormsworth | panorain: in nautilus try "View->Icons" | 08:34 |
| ikonia | rohitkav: which have you done, changed the document root or put files in the wrong place ? | 08:34 |
| Capprentice | Then I think you need to create a symlink for using finalproject folder as apached default doc root is /var/www | 08:35 |
| ikonia | no you don't | 08:35 |
| ikonia | you should not be creating a random symlink | 08:35 |
| rohitkav | i used this to configure it http://tuxtweaks.com/2009/07/how-to-configure-apache-linux/ | 08:35 |
| Capprentice | Ok then how it work ? ikonia ? | 08:36 |
| ikonia | rohitkav: I'm not reading that - I'm asking you which you did | 08:36 |
| chunkyhead | hey guys, anyone knows sorting algos? ' | 08:36 |

| rohitkav | ikonia, http://paste.ubuntu.com/5627586/ | 08:40 |
| peawormsworth | wat files are these... video files? | 08:40 |
| chunkyhead | windows or linux which one's better | 08:41 |
| tomy | linux... | 08:41 |
| ikonia | rohitkav: ok so the apache user is not going to be able to read those files, hence permission denied | 08:41 |
| panorain | peawormsworth yes I am a photographer I have video files | 08:41 |
| ikonia | chunkyhead: an impossible question, it's personal opinion | 08:41 |
| peawormsworth | in any case... it may be the extensions... not sure if that matters, but check they are normal extensions such as: .mpg, .avi, divx, etc. | 08:41 |
| ikonia | chunkyhead: not something thats really worth asking, try them, make up your own mind | 08:41 |
| rohitkav | oh | 08:41 |
| rohitkav | ok | 08:41 |
| rohitkav | how to change it | 08:42 |
| Capprentice | chunkyhead, it not worth discussing it. Try google god. You will get more answer then here is possible,. | 08:42 |

| ikonia | tomy: see - it's not nice | 08:45 |
| peawormsworth | panorain: Im not sure what the problem is. I would try a few things like moving one to a new dir... to see if it is directory specific. Also I would try putting an .avi file or some different format to see if it is specific to the particular format/extension you have. Othere then that... I dont know. | 08:45 |
| TakeItEZ | cristian_c: it's just an idea, i cannot promise it fixes your issue | 08:46 |
| tomy | why you insult me ? | 08:46 |
| tomy | i iinsult only a machine not a person .... | 08:46 |

| shomon | completely frozen at times.. even screen in mid-refresh! | 08:59 |
| shomon | since the last update... | 08:59 |
| shomon | just me or ? | 08:59 |
| peawormsworth | panorain: hey try moving.. example.desktop to Desktop and then double click to open in nautilus... u should see thumbnails i think. | 09:00 |
| tomy | only compiz don't start | 09:00 |
| Capprentice | shomon, sometime my logon screen freezes. I had to make a hard reset everytime this happns. | 09:00 |
| shomon | no ,this is any time | 09:00 |
| panorain | peawormsworth I tried that but thank you | 09:00 |
| peawormsworth | panorain: "mv ~/examples.desktop ~/Desktop" and then u shuold have an icon on ur desktop to double click and check thumbnails. | 09:00 |
| peawormsworth | k | 09:00 |
| peawormsworth | ur nautilus is messed up i guess. | 09:01 |
| tomy | can i punch the guy strange for insulting me ? | 09:01 |
| Capprentice | Hey anyone knows how to set icons to various folders ? | 09:01 |
| choppy | tomy how you check it works? | 09:02 |
| peawormsworth | panorain: Im not sure whether this will help, but maybe check what nautilus packages are installed, maybe u are missing something to generate thumbnails: "dpkg --get-selections | grep nautilus" | 09:02 |
| tomy | how i check my drivers ? | 09:02 |
| Capprentice | Suppose you have a music folder on desktop. How you will make it look like exactly the ~./Music | 09:02 |
| Capprentice | in your home dir ? | 09:03 |

| ikonia | oops sorry | 09:06 |
| ikonia | wrong person | 09:06 |
| ikonia | Capprentice: what do you mean "look like" it's a folder, how does it look different | 09:06 |
| Capprentice | I mean the folder ICON. | 09:07 |
| tomy | i use the video driver for amd graphic accelerator fglrx-updates (proprietary) | 09:07 |
| ikonia | Capprentice: I think that's hardcoded due to the location | 09:07 |
| choppy | tomy do drivers work? | 09:07 |
| Capprentice | Ok. so there is no easy way we can change that right ? | 09:07 |

| ikonia | Capprentice: the kubuntu PPA on it's own is fine | 09:17 |
| tomy | sudo apt-get update - sudo apt-get upgrade | 09:17 |
| choppy | tomy it will not install ati drivers | 09:18 |

| ikonia | Capprentice: you sound like you really don't know what you are doing and just rushing everything | 09:22 |

| Capprentice | Yes. Not much. But not nothing. | 09:22 |
| ikonia | Capprentice: sorry that makes no sense | 09:22 |

| Capprentice | :P Ok got it. | 09:29 |
| Capprentice | The reason I ask all these becoz Im lil impatient and I do try to get things done faster taking shortcuts :) | 09:29 |

| alex88 | is there a way to set a package as installed from source in apt-get? | 10:33 |
| TakeItEZ | alex88: did you build a deb-package from source? | 10:33 |
| alex88 | TakeItEZ: nope, I just installed the same software the package provides | 10:34 |
| TakeItEZ | !checkinstall | alex88 use this to build a 2cheap" deb which will be added to apts database | 10:34 |
| ubottu | alex88 use this to build a 2cheap" deb which will be added to apts database: checkinstall is a wrapper to "make install", useful for installing programs you compiled. It will create a .deb package, which will be listed in the APT database and can be uninstalled like other packages. See https://help.ubuntu.com/community/CheckInstall - Read the warnings at the top and bottom of that web page, and DO NOT interrupt CheckInstall while it's running! | 10:34 |
| alex88 | TakeItEZ: oh, awesome! | 10:35 |
| alex88 | TakeItEZ: mmhh what's the package name that will be used? | 10:36 |
| TakeItEZ | alex88: it asks, by default it takes the dirname of the source | 10:36 |
| alex88 | oh ok great, since I need to use it as the same name | 10:36 |
| alex88 | thanks! | 10:36 |
| TakeItEZ | alex88: read the info/link ubottu provided | 10:36 |

| rich5851 | Victover - I assume that the extender has a browser based admin that is accessed via a network cable ? | 10:45 |
| wastl | victover: if its on factory default just connect a pc to the network port of the re1000 and do dhcp | 10:45 |
| wastl | you will get an ip | 10:45 |
| DJones | victover: If you're using the web browser to access it, it'll be the same way you do it on Windows | 10:45 |
| wastl | und a route command will show you the ip of the re1000 | 10:45 |

| leiadamC | Hi Capprentice | 11:19 |
| MattiasJp | So I tried ubuntu-server and the xen guide for ubuntu, when I boot into the ubuntu kernel without xen, I get all my 16gb ram, when I boot into the ubuntu kernel with xen, for some reason it limits the total ram to 3gb. on ##xen they just say there's something wrong with the ubuntu kernel perhaps. Everything looks ok except those 3gb ram available in xen hypervisor dom0 | 11:21 |
| MattiasJp | Anyone has any experience with ubuntu and xen and has had a similar issue? | 11:21 |
| MattiasJp | (And hopefully has solved it) | 11:21 |

| ThinkT510 | chunkyhead: because of lack of security updates and fixes | 12:40 |
| erupter | no matter what I do it doesn't install correctly | 12:40 |
| BluesKaj | erupter, like I said 10.04 is prtty long in the tooth now , time to upgrade your OS | 12:41 |
| ThinkT510 | chunkyhead: you should stick to what is in the repo | 12:41 |
| chunkyhead | ThinkT510, but what bout the stable 100% checked packages? ( i know nothing is 100% bug free but still) | 12:41 |
| erupter | BluesKaj, what part of "it failed on my 12.04.1 machine" didn't you get? | 12:41 |
| k1l | chunkyhead: why do you need a newer kernel? | 12:41 |
| erupter | weltall, I did as you said, nomodeset, but nouveau is still detected | 12:42 |
| ThinkT510 | !kernel | chunkyhead | 12:42 |
| ubottu | chunkyhead: The core of Ubuntu is the Linux kernel: see https://help.ubuntu.com/community/Kernel - You shouldn't have to compile your own, and if you need to troubleshoot issues, you can try a !Mainline kernel instead, but if you insist, see https://help.ubuntu.com/community/Kernel/Compile (see also !Stages) | 12:42 |
| chunkyhead | k1l, im trying to learn kernel stuff that's why | 12:42 |
| erupter | weltall, and the driver refuses to install | 12:42 |
| BluesKaj | 12.04 is old as well, erupter | 12:42 |
| weltall | are you sure you put it right? | 12:42 |
| weltall | editing the grub cfg will require to update them if you are doing it that way | 12:42 |
| erupter | weltall, I edited /etc/default/grub adding "nomodeset" to the GRUB_CMDLINE_LINUX_DEFAULT | 12:43 |
| weltall | yeah that requires to update grub | 12:43 |
| erupter | BluesKaj, you're not proposing solutions, you're just telling me what I have is wrong, well what I have is what I must work with, so either I find a solution with these oses or I don't | 12:44 |
| k1l | erupter: just press "e" in the grub menue | 12:44 |
| === cronus__ is now known as cronus | ||
| weltall | if you look at the grub boot screen there is written press something to edit the command line | 12:44 |
| === wGOd_tIU_ is now known as Darshan | ||
| chunkyhead | linux kernel is in c++ right? | 12:44 |
| weltall | no reason to mess with the system files at all | 12:44 |
| erupter | k1l, weltall I'll try that way | 12:44 |
| Abhijit | chunkyhead, c | 12:45 |
| Abhijit | chunkyhead, more help in ##linux | 12:45 |
| chunkyhead | thanks | 12:45 |
| BluesKaj | erupter, fiar enough , but give us more det6ail about the "failure" to install. | 12:45 |
| BluesKaj | err detail | 12:45 |
| erupter | BluesKaj, I can give you all the details you want but since it's a nvidia package it doesn't pertain to the ubuntu channel | 12:46 |
| lvleph | weltall: sure there is a reason to mess with system files. When a new kernel is installed this process will have to be done again. | 12:46 |
| lvleph | that is the reason to change default/grub | 12:47 |
| weltall | no lvleph | 12:47 |
| lvleph | new kernel images will then have the nomodeset | 12:47 |
| erupter | k1l, weltall ok booted with nomodeset but graphics is glitchy and can't use tty, I can't read anything | 12:47 |
| YBinnenweg | Hello guys, I | 12:47 |
| YBinnenweg | woops | 12:47 |
| weltall | the nvidia installer adds dkms files so it will automatically rebuild | 12:47 |
| BluesKaj | erupter, yes it does , installing nvida on ubuntu is within the support guidelines | 12:47 |
| weltall | try removing splash too then | 12:48 |

| YBinnenweg | Hello guys/ladies, I'm having a problem with Ubuntu 12.04. Currently I have 2 screens setup with this PC, they both work, that's all fine. Now what I'm trying to do is open 2 firefox windows with 2 different URL's and open each window on each screen. (window 1 on screen 1, window 2 on screen 2) I'm using devilspie to achieve this. It is working, but only if I log out and then log back into my account. If I let the machine autologin | 12:50 |
| YBinnenweg | and do a reboot/full shutdown and power it on again devilspie doesn't put my 2nd window on my 2nd screen but on my 1st screen.. Sorry for the wall of text, but does anyone of you guys/ladies know how to solve this? | 12:50 |
| KolakCC | Abhijit: I've be honest, I'm not THAT well versed in the cli | 12:50 |
| BluesKaj | erupter, is the 310 driver recommended for 10.04 ? | 12:50 |
| Ankhwatcher | My android devices connect okay just with a username and password, but my laptop forces me to put something in a domain box and refuses authentication | 12:50 |
| Abhijit | KolakCC, should i tell you how to use it? | 12:51 |
| markovh | KolakCC: which element of the usb creator are you looking for? | 12:51 |
| markovh | and why not netbootin | 12:51 |
| KolakCC | markovh: netbootin never works for some reason - it can't find a ramdisk | 12:51 |
| weltall | erupter, add nomodeset and remove quiet and splash | 12:51 |
| KolakCC | Abhijit: Yes please | 12:52 |
| weltall | also check the command line if it has a sort of vga injection command i remember that could screw up tty | 12:52 |
| Abhijit | KolakCC, syntax is dd if=/path/to/isofile.iso of=/dev/sdA. be very carefull here. you can check name of your usb drive using fdisk -l. dd will first erase everything on the target drive so if you written wrong device name at of=/dev/sda then you will end erasing wrong disk. | 12:53 |
| BluesKaj | erupter, which nvidia card ? | 12:53 |
| Abhijit | KolakCC, sudo dd if=/path/to/isofile.iso of=/dev/sdX | 12:53 |
| starbuck33 | hello, does anybody play team fortress 2 via steam on ubuntu? | 12:54 |

| Abhijit | starbuck33, ask the actual question. | 12:54 |
| Abhijit | KolakCC, small L | 12:54 |
| Abhijit | not i | 12:54 |
| KolakCC | Abhijit: yeah, never mind, fdisk -l requires root. TIL | 12:55 |
| erupter | weltall, thank you very very much, it was the vga call that was screwing it all! | 12:55 |
| erupter | BluesKaj, 8600gt | 12:55 |
| starbuck33 | ok, i have to versions in my steam library, Team Fortress 2 AND Team Fortress 2 beta... what is the difference between both and which one should i install?? | 12:56 |
| KolakCC | Abhijit: so does "dd if=/home/dereck/Downloads/pmagic.iso of=/dev/sdb" look good? | 12:56 |
| StephenS | What to do? | 12:56 |
| weltall | tf2 not beta starbuck33 | 12:56 |

| histo | erupter: you can also run the unity-test and see | 12:58 |

| chunkyhead | ratedZ, and histo but then in that case conky should give me correct total ram atleast | 13:56 |
| ratedZ | chunkyhead: echo 3 > /proc/sys/vm/drop_caches it will free some ram | 13:57 |
| chunkyhead | ratedZ, i'm not worried about the ram, i;m wondering why isnt conky displaying proper total | 13:58 |
| ratedZ | chunkyhead : u can get absolute size in top command | 13:59 |
| geedew | Hello all; Anyone use a macbookpro 8,2 series and having issues with touchpad sensitivity? Would like to debug it on my machine, just need a place to start (I'm a web programmer; classically trained in CS) | 14:02 |
| chunkyhead | any help with why i can't swapon ? | 14:03 |
| ikonia | chunkyhead: what's the issue ? | 14:03 |
| chunkyhead | swapon /dev/sda7 tells me swap header failed, invalid argument | 14:04 |
| chunkyhead | ikonia, ^ | 14:04 |
| ikonia | chunkyhead: is that partition a swap partition ? | 14:04 |
| reggie_ | hey folks trying to install owncloud version 5 on Ubuntu 12.04 however I am being directed to this link http://software.opensuse.org/download.html?project=isv:ownCloud:community&package=owncloud | 14:04 |
| chunkyhead | ikonia, lol yes | 14:04 |
| ikonia | chunkyhead: how did you set it as one ? | 14:04 |
| seshdroid | Is anyone familiar with OpenGeo suite here? | 14:04 |
| ikonia | reggie_: redirected from where ? | 14:04 |
| reggie_ | when I try to add the repositoy I get an error any help with this would be appreciated | 14:05 |
| ikonia | reggie_: redirected from where ? | 14:05 |
| chunkyhead | when i was installing ubuntu i set 2gig for swap that's how ikonia | 14:05 |
| reggie_ | from the Owncloud main page | 14:05 |
| ikonia | chunkyhead: can you please pastebin the output of "sudo fdisk -l" | 14:05 |
| chunkyhead | and lsblk tells me it's swap partition ikonia | 14:05 |
| ikonia | reggie_: ok - so contact owncloud, we don't control their website re-direction | 14:05 |
| reggie_ | the issue isn't the redirection | 14:05 |
| reggie_ | the issue is adding the repository, not sure how to do it | 14:06 |
| ikonia | reggie_: then why did you say the problem was you where getting redirected | 14:06 |
| chunkyhead | ikonia, http://paste.ubuntu.com/5628251/ | 14:06 |
| ikonia | reggie_: what is the url of the repo you are trying to add ? | 14:06 |
| reggie_ | this is a bit different from adding a ppa | 14:06 |
| reggie_ | http://software.opensuse.org/download.html?project=isv:ownCloud:community&package=owncloud | 14:06 |
| ikonia | chunkyhead: is this encypted | 14:06 |
| chunkyhead | no | 14:06 |
| chunkyhead | ikonia, no | 14:06 |
| ikonia | reggie_: what is the URL of the repo you are trying to add | 14:07 |
| reggie_ | ohh sorry of the repo | 14:07 |
| llutz | reggie_: echo 'deb http://download.opensuse.org/repositories/isv:ownCloud:community/xUbuntu_12.10/ /' | sudo tee /etc/apt/sources.list.d/owncloud.list | 14:07 |
| reggie_ | one sec | 14:07 |
| Pici | reggie_: The instructions on that page look rather consise, what part are you having issues with? | 14:07 |
| ikonia | chunkyhead: why is there a crypt swap device | 14:07 |
| reggie_ | the echo part of it :( | 14:07 |
| ikonia | reggie_: can you explain the problem | 14:07 |
| reggie_ | gives me an error | 14:07 |
| chunkyhead | ikonia, i'm a newbie dont talk to me like i know everything | 14:07 |
| Pici | reggie_: what error? | 14:07 |
| ikonia | chunkyhead: I'm not talking to you like you know everything, I'm asking why there is an encypted swap device | 14:07 |
| reggie_ | one sec let me generate it again | 14:08 |
| llutz | reggie_:copy&paste this command: echo 'deb http://download.opensuse.org/repositories/isv:ownCloud:community/xUbuntu_12.10/ /' | sudo tee /etc/apt/sources.list.d/owncloud.list | 14:08 |
| reggie_ | llutz | 14:08 |
| llutz | reggie_: if you run the command from their website you'll get an error because a user isn't allowed to write to /etc/apt/sources.list.d/ | 14:08 |
| reggie_ | that worked | 14:08 |
| reggie_ | thanks | 14:08 |
| llutz | reggie_: sure it does :) | 14:08 |
| reggie_ | want to me my mentor llutz :) | 14:08 |
| Pici | llutz: the instructions on the website do say to run it as root... | 14:08 |
| llutz | Pici: which he obviously didn't follow | 14:09 |
| reggie_ | yea but I don't have root access on Ubuntu | 14:09 |
| reggie_ | everything is sudo as far as my newbie mind understands it | 14:09 |
| llutz | and putting sudo in front fails too, and and and | 14:09 |
| reggie_ | yes it does | 14:09 |
| Pici | sudo does not pass IO redirection operators. | 14:10 |
| SuperMeo | http://www.sponsokdo.com/index-216929.html | 14:10 |
| chunkyhead | ikonia, i had an encrypted home, that's the only thing i had encrypted, rest other are windows partitions. swap wasn't encrypted afaik | 14:10 |
| llutz | Pici: true, but most people don't realize that | 14:10 |
| Pici | llutz: thats why I said it ;) | 14:10 |
| ikonia | chunkyhead: there is an encypted swap device that is 2GB....sounds like you encypted sound too | 14:11 |
| chunkyhead | sound? how to decrypt? | 14:11 |

| histo | microm: Is your dhcp broken? | 14:16 |
| Viqaz | it kills my battery | 14:16 |
| ikonia | chunkyhead: I'd suggest removing/deleting the swap partition and re-creating it | 14:16 |
| histo | microm: if you configure your network for static ip it will not wait there | 14:16 |
| chunkyhead | ikonia, how to do that | 14:16 |
| microm | I can connect with wireless ipod touch and laptops no problem | 14:16 |
| ikonia | chunkyhead: use gparted | 14:16 |
| BluesKaj | microm, sudo dhclient eth0 | 14:16 |

| dsathe | is that possible | 14:19 |
| dsathe | {srcDir} {fsDir} none bind,umask=0177 0 0 03:17:08 PM | 14:19 |

| chunkyhead | format drive directly as swap right? | 14:20 |
| histo | !swap | chunkyhead | 14:20 |
| ubottu | chunkyhead: swap is used to move unused programs and data out of main memory to make your system faster. It can also be used as extra memory if you don't have enough. See https://help.ubuntu.com/community/SwapFaq for more info | 14:20 |
| f4c3p4lm | can anyone help me with postfix+courier-imap ? i just need a correct mysql database structure | 14:21 |
| microm | histo: perfect match between router MAC address, static lease ip address, and eth0 on the host | 14:21 |
| chunkyhead | histo, i know what swap is. i'm just asking no programs would be using it right now since it is encrypted right? | 14:21 |
| histo | chunkyhead: Why is your swap encrypted? | 14:22 |
| dsathe | anyone , mount bind only so root can read it | 14:22 |
| microm | BluesKaj: using network manager... no idea, it is all automated behind the scenes... I never configure this by hand anymore. | 14:22 |
| chunkyhead | histo, i have no idea what so ever -_- i had swap partition when i was installing ubuntu, it's today i discovered it is encrypted | 14:22 |
| histo | dsathe: change the permissions on the mount | 14:22 |
| dsathe | histo how ? | 14:23 |
| dsathe | is that possible | 14:23 |
| dsathe | {srcDir} {fsDir} none bind,umask=0177 0 0 03:17:08 PM | 14:23 |
| histo | !mount | dsathe | 14:23 |

| dsathe | histo i am binding a file into /etc/init | 14:23 |
| ikonia | dsathe: that doesn't seem a good idea | 14:23 |
| Viqaz | no one on the kernel bug? | 14:23 |
| dsathe | i dont want it to be visible inside that filesystem to general users | 14:23 |
| histo | dsathe: why are you bind mounting /etc/init? | 14:23 |
| starbuck33 | histo, Abhijit: thank you, i'll have a look at vino first, maybe thats good enough for now | 14:23 |
| dsathe | it is an init file thqt fires off with a password | 14:24 |
| dsathe | that* | 14:24 |
| maxxx32 | /join #ubuntu-ru | 14:24 |
| dsathe | the filesystem is s container filesystem | 14:24 |
| llutz | dsathe: chmod 600, chown root:root that file | 14:24 |
| chunkyhead | histo, ikonia disk utility says error formatting the device is busy -_- | 14:24 |
| k1l | maxxx32: no space in front | 14:24 |
| dsathe | llutz: aha, that would mean entering the filesystem | 14:25 |
| dsathe | which may not be possible | 14:25 |
| ikonia | chunkyhead: probable because you've already enabled swap | 14:25 |
| dsathe | why does the umask on fstab not be obeyed | 14:25 |
| microm | BluesKaj: I found that IPV6 was set to "automatic" in the network manager. I have changed this to "Ignore". | 14:25 |

| chunkyhead | histo, when i type /etc/fstab it says permission denied | 14:35 |
| Viqaz | it's very likely related to the ATI fglrx driver | 14:35 |
| ikonia | chunkyhead: why type that ? | 14:35 |
| ikonia | chunkyhead: it can't execute a config file | 14:35 |
| histo | Viqaz: you could try a kernel from the kernel dev ppa and see if it resolves your issue. And or check for bug reports to see if anyone else has seen your issue. | 14:35 |

| Viqaz | the reason I switched to the ati drivers is because my box start heatig and the battery drained almost immediatly | 14:40 |
| Viqaz | it always ran on the dedicated GPU | 14:41 |
| Viqaz | ok tx | 14:41 |
| Viqaz | I'll see if the driver list the supported kernels | 14:41 |

| MoPac | Hi all -- I'm confused about how to set up the Xorg nouveau display driver. When I switch to it, off of the nvdia proprietary ones (I have a GeForce 330), when I reset, my display is low-res, and it can't seem to detect it properly. Is there some equivalent GUI app to the nvidia-settings manager for nouveau? | 14:42 |
| cosminlixy | I think in 1998 i have not entered on mirc :)) | 14:43 |
| SultansElephant | cosminlixy: havent been on IRC since 1998? | 14:44 |
| cosminlixy | yes | 14:44 |
| SultansElephant | youre running mirc on linux? | 14:44 |
| SultansElephant | thats a faux pas! | 14:44 |
| MoPac | Viqaz: This might be related to your problem. I currently can't get hibernate or suspend to work, and on my bug report I was asked to test an upstream kernel. But it won't play nice with my nvidia proprietary drivers, hence me trying to get the generic ones to work | 14:44 |
| chunkyhead | histo, i was told that i need to delete swap and remake it O.o | 14:45 |
| cosminlixy | no not on linux | 14:45 |
| histo | chunkyhead: Why? | 14:45 |
| SultansElephant | MoPac: have you checked out https://help.ubuntu.com/community/Video | 14:45 |
| SultansElephant | its got a table of recommended drivers with your card | 14:45 |
| chunkyhead | histo, i wanted to ask does swapon automatically when ubuntu starts lol | 14:45 |
| chunkyhead | haha | 14:45 |
| histo | chunkyhead: it is on | 14:46 |
| chunkyhead | thanks histo | 14:46 |
| histo | chunkyhead: it's in /etc/fstab to mount swap on boot | 14:46 |
| histo | chunkyhead: P.S. your partitioning scheme is jacked up. | 14:46 |
| Viqaz | MoPac: yes it seems one needs to choose between opensourced limited functionality vs jumping firy hoops to get the proprietary drivers to work | 14:47 |
| MoPac | Viqaz: well, my proprietary drivers mostly work (although there is no backlight control, which I DO have when the drivers are broken, compiz is crashed, and the x session is messed up!) | 14:48 |
| MoPac | But they just don't seem to work with the upstream kernels | 14:49 |
| chunkyhead | histo, thanks to windows, i know | 14:50 |
| MoPac | All I want to do is test an upstream kernel, so I want to get the nouveau driver just in basic working order. But it can't even tell that my display is 1080. So is there any config program for it, or command that is the equivalent of nvidia-xconfig int he priprietary drivers? | 14:50 |
| yon | hey need help i wanted to join the anonymous irc any-one knows how | 14:50 |
| BluesKaj | MoPac, have you updated /upgraded and dist-upgraded since installation ? | 14:51 |
| MoPac | SultansElephant: Thanks for the link, btw - hadn't seen that before. There doesn't seem to be much specific info about my card. But what I'm really looking to see right now is if there's a generic settings program (GUI, pray?) for nouveau so I can just try to get the resolution right | 14:51 |
| DJones | yon: This is Ubuntu support, the channel only deals with Ubuntu issues | 14:51 |
| llutz | yon: ask anonymous | 14:51 |
| ikonia | yon: sorry, we on'y support ubuntu here | 14:51 |
| MoPac | BluesKaj: yes -- actually, I'm on raring now. I know that's not per se supported in this channel as opposed to ubuntu+1. But my question is generic -- is there a settings program for the nouveau drivers? | 14:52 |
| SultansElephant | MoPac: many video cards just do not have the proper drivers and you have to find in most cases someone else with your card who has the solution | 14:52 |
| ner0x | Any docs/comparisons on 12.04 vs 12.10 ? | 14:52 |
| MoPac | SultansElephant: I'd hate to write it off, though, if the only reason it's not working is that I'm not aware of the right settings app or shell command to tell it to auto-configure itself, the way the prop drivers have nvidia-settings and the nvidia-xconfig command | 14:53 |

| azm | and they ask for money | 14:54 |
| BluesKaj | not that i know of MoPac , unless there's something in the applications menu. I must confess I never looked when nouveau was my defaul driver because it all worked . Then I installed the nvida driver from "additional drivers" | 14:54 |

| ikonia | no | 16:10 |
| ikonia | you can't | 16:10 |
| ikonia | mp | 16:10 |
| ikonia | it's not in the kernel or in grub | 16:10 |
| FloodBot1 | ikonia: Please don't flood; use http://paste.ubuntu.com to paste; don't use Enter as punctuation. | 16:10 |
| Walex | feitingen: the diffuculty would be _booting_ from it, unless you use LILO | 16:10 |

| ikonia | Celticswynd: yes, but what is furcadias linux ? | 16:11 |
| Walex | rosipov: does it have any intermediate stages? | 16:11 |

| Walex | rosipov: that does not make sense as 127.0.0.1 is not s routable address. | 16:12 |

| StaRetji1 | Folks, I have annoying problem. I have wget -N www.domain.com/somefile.txt but problem is when I lose internet connection on adsl modem, it downloads html file from adsl modem (Problem with Internet Connection) and it overwites my local somefile.txt | 16:57 |
| StaRetji1 | anyone? | 16:57 |

| Bonzodog | I let ubuntu auto install initially, as I do not quite understan manual setup of a GPT system, but I want to know if you can tell the installer to create a seperate home and / partition with a GPT install | 17:00 |

| ClientAlive | Hi. I tried once before to install ubuntu in efi mode and just couldn't get it to work. Now, 6 mos later, I'm trying again using the 12.04 alternate install cd. One challenge I ran into is that it fials to install the boot loader and that it's trying to install grub-pc ranther than grub-efi. Is there any way to tell the installer to install grub-efi instead and maybe tell it where to install it? | 17:46 |
| huayra | wilee-nilee, feitingen I want a clean way which i guess involves upstart or something | 17:46 |

| imalsogreg | Hey. My first time in #ubuntu so I hope this isn't off topic. It seems like unity or compiz is broken by some security update that went out yesterday on 12.10. My home machine and work machine both have the same problem (no top bar or dash) after restart. Both are using the nvidia drivers. Are other people experiencing this? | 17:53 |
| rcmaehl | imalsogreg, are you using the restricted or default drivers? | 17:54 |
| ClientAlive | wilee-nilee: ok, sounds like a good suggestion. I think I'll experiment with the solns I think may work today then do that if I still can't get it to work. | 17:54 |
| histo | imalsogreg: did you install drivers from nvidia.com? | 17:54 |
| imalsogreg | Default means nuveau? Restricted. | 17:54 |
| wilee-nilee | imalsogreg, Did you load the nvidia drivers from the ubuntu database or from them? | 17:54 |
| Malsasa_ | Hello, command apt-get -d -o=dir::cache=/tmp install appname yes do half of my aim. But I absolutely wanna it download only from my /var/cache/apt/archives. How to do that? Or, how the command? Thanks. | 17:54 |
| imalsogreg | Got mine from the database, not nvidia. | 17:55 |
| histo | imalsogreg: How idd you install them specifically? | 17:55 |
| histo | s/idd/did/ | 17:55 |
| huayra | imalsogreg, you might be find some luck by trying an older kernel when you start ubuntu | 17:56 |
| huayra | then you will at least be able to go into the Ubuntu UI | 17:56 |
| imalsogreg | Ah man, a little different every time. :P Sorry I can't remember. It was through the restricted drivers tab though. | 17:56 |
| eN_Joy | how do i get a list of all upgradable security package list? | 17:56 |
| huayra | but if you added a new driver then it is a totally different issue | 17:57 |
| imalsogreg | huayra: one of the updates was linux-headers, so I like that idea. Trying now... | 17:57 |
| histo | imalsogreg: if you did it through restricted drivers tab it should be fine. usually you'll see what you are experiencing if you installed drivers from nvidia.com using their NVIDIA....sh when the kernel updates the modeule doesnt rebuild | 17:57 |
| TomyLobo | eN_Joy aptitude | 17:57 |
| eN_Joy | thanks TomyLobo | 17:57 |
| histo | imalsogreg: the fix being you need to reinstall the driver if you used those from nvidia.com if you didn't you need to reinstall the nvidia-whatever-package you were running. Default behavior should rebuild | 17:58 |
| acolytetojippity | hey, is it possible to completely remove evolution? every time i start my machine, ubuntu tells me there's some sort of system error, and when i report it, i find that evolution is causing it. i don't use evolution. | 17:59 |
| kickingvegas | Did the UI for the wifi applet (the icon at the top menu bar for Unity) change so that "Show Hidden Networks" is missing? Something changed… | 17:59 |
| imalsogreg | histo: huayra: Thanks for the leads! It'll take me a little while to do this with only the terminal. | 17:59 |
| histo | imalsogreg: if you boot an older kernel. ex: hold shift jsut after bios posts to bring up grub menu. You can then select older kernel. Your gui should work just fine until you sort the issue | 18:00 |
| Elshar | Interesting, I think I've been able to properly reproduce the symptoms. Apache+php crashes on submits after an apache2ctl restart, but goes away if I do an /etc/init.d/apache2 stop and then restart. | 18:00 |
| huayra | imalsogreg, you got into X? | 18:01 |
| imalsogreg | Yep. | 18:01 |
| huayra | awesome :) | 18:01 |
| huayra | If I was you I would remove the new kernel, so I am sure that I have a working setup | 18:02 |
| huayra | or check if there are any updates | 18:02 |
| ClientAlive | does anyone know if it's possible to have roor in a logical volume on an efi install? Can ubuntu be made to boot that way and what might it take to make it do that? | 18:02 |
| imalsogreg | huayra: Sorry, haha I didn't mean that my problem is fixed. Only meant that: X is working | 18:02 |
| huayra | imalsogreg, try using aptitude for that | 18:02 |
| ClientAlive | just thought I'd shoot it out there | 18:02 |

| imalsogreg | huayra: other clues about what's going on: what was a dual-monitor setup before the security updates is now only one-monitor, and at lower resolution. | 18:04 |
| dark_soul | or is it that there is no such thing as restarting ufw/iptables on ubuntu? | 18:04 |
| huayra | not really. Try looking for new updates or downgrade the kernel | 18:05 |
| imalsogreg | huayra: I haven't tried your fix yet (I was expecting to see Grub and a list of old kernels on reboot - but surprisingly it has vanished. This is a ~1m/o computer) | 18:05 |
| huayra | imalsogreg, you need to type escape or tab | 18:05 |
| huayra | in order to see that list | 18:05 |
| huayra | no? | 18:05 |
| imalsogreg | huayra: Ok. Sorry. I may be getting old :) All the Ubuntu's I've run in the past defaulted to showing that list for a few seconds. | 18:06 |

| BluesKaj | imalsogreg,^ | 18:23 |
| histo | imalsogreg: You can do it now. It should build the kernel module for any installed kernels | 18:23 |
| huayra | imalsogreg, did it reinstall the nvidia driver? | 18:23 |
| Habeebit | holstein: Thank you. | 18:24 |
| imalsogreg | huayra: Yet to reboot. I'm getting so many useful messages here on my laptop that I fear I'll miss some while I restart my desktop (the broken one) | 18:24 |

| aaa801 | Ok guys, im stuck in a crap kvm client viewing my server thats been nullrouted, i have a couple more ips accolated to me but cant seem to get them to work | 18:24 |
| huayra | imalsogreg, as long as the build process is succesful it is likely that your system will be fine | 18:24 |
| histo | imalsogreg: after it's done try and reboot your system. | 18:25 |
| aaa801 | does this look right ? http://i.imgur.com/XIrC9v1.png | 18:25 |
| aaa801 | it fails to bring up eth0:1 | 18:25 |
| ioria | does anyone have configured postfix for mailing the local network ? tx | 18:25 |
| IceGuest_77 | Hey ioria, use sendemail | 18:26 |
| IceGuest_77 | for mailing the local network | 18:26 |
| ioria | IceGuest_77: you mean sendmail ? | 18:26 |
| Habeebit | LIST | 18:27 |
| llutz | ioria sudo dpkg-reconfigure postfix , select "local delivery only" done | 18:27 |
| IceGuest_77 | yeh | 18:27 |
| ioria | llutz: thanx | 18:27 |
| aaa801 | anyone help =/, im limited to 2 hours in this kvm before they start charging me | 18:27 |
| imalsogreg | histo: huayra: reinstall is done. Version is still 304.51.really.304.43. But problem is still there. | 18:29 |
| imalsogreg | histo: (after a reboot, still unity is messed up) | 18:29 |
| huayra | imalsogreg, downgrade the kernel and wait | 18:29 |
| huayra | then at least you have a working system | 18:29 |
| imalsogreg | huayra: No problem. I can live with holding shift for a while. :) | 18:29 |
| imalsogreg | Thanks for the help! | 18:30 |
| huayra | in the meantime you can head to launchpad and file the bug | 18:30 |
| huayra | so they can have a look at it | 18:30 |
| llutz | ioria: wait, local network? thats not local delivery only, my bad. | 18:30 |
| imalsogreg | huayra: Ok. It'll be my first time doing that, but I'll give it a whirl. | 18:30 |
| huayra | imalsogreg, maybe shift holding might be an idea | 18:30 |
| ioria | llutz: infact, i already did it.... when i first installed :( | 18:31 |
| LoneTrooper | hi i have quick question. is there a way to use shortcut on keyboard to roll up windows in XFCE? | 18:31 |
| llutz | ioria: "local" refers to "localhost" here | 18:31 |
| ioria | llutz: it works with other users but not with other pc | 18:31 |
| huayra | althought removing the entry from grub could be another one (besides the proper one, which would be to erase the kernel you just installed, BUT make sure that you have an old one in place) | 18:31 |

| Walther | Hello folks! I'm going to bluntly ask in here in addition to asking on +1, as here might be more people who know about this... I just got a Radeon HD 7970. Is it supposed to be supported, and from which driver version onwards | 18:32 |
| holstein | !ati | Walther | 18:33 |
| ubottu | Walther: For Ati/NVidia/Matrox video cards, see https://help.ubuntu.com/community/VideoDriverHowto | 18:33 |
| holstein | Walther: theres not really a "supposed to"... you can also check with ati for supported drivers | 18:33 |
| Trudko | guys if I want to istall something using apt get how to get its version before I install it | 18:33 |
| holstein | Walther: i usually grab a live cd and see what works.. testing modules on the live CD can be challenging or imposssible though | 18:34 |
| obrith | hypothetical question... you're stuck on Ubuntu 10.04 (say 60 workstations) and it's a monumental effort to move forward (though it will happen, with help, eventually). Your hardware vendor is shipping ever new hardware and simple things like the NIC driver in 10.04 is no longer in the kernel (common Intel NIC) - they promise to keep bleeding edge hardware every year, aggravating the problem more over time. You can't image syst | 18:34 |
| imalsogreg | huayra: Interesting. Actually it works now. | 18:34 |
| kinkyboo | Hello, I have recently installed ubuntu(Finally) and today the menu bar to the left and at the top is completely gone | 18:35 |
| imalsogreg | huayra: I repeated histo's instructions, but also reinstalled nvidia-settings and linux-headers-(specific version) | 18:35 |
| holstein | obrith: should be able to add support back with a backport or a module | 18:35 |
| obrith | holstein, yes but it breaks each update | 18:35 |
| thebishop | anyone tried Ubuntu on the new Samsung Series 7 Chronos laptop? | 18:35 |
| histo | imalsogreg: did you reinstall nvidia-current? | 18:35 |
| holstein | kinkyboo: i would try as a different user | 18:35 |
| obrith | can i fix it, yes. do i have time? not really | 18:35 |
| histo | imalsogreg: nvm just read scroll back. | 18:35 |
| holstein | obrith: depends on how you do it, and who does the upgrades | 18:36 |
| kinkyboo | holstein, only have one user, so that would be Guest then ? | 18:36 |
| obrith | currently the users update themselves, directly from ubuntu repos | 18:36 |
| imalsogreg | histo: Yes, I reinstalled nvidia-current and restarted. Problem persisted. I then reinstalled it again along with linux-headers and nvidia-settings, problem is gone. | 18:36 |
| Walther | holstein: The "supposed to" is because I get a stupid watermark on lower-right corner of my sreen with ATI logo and text "Unsupported hardware" | 18:36 |
| holstein | kinkyboo: i would make a new one.. and test.. if all is well, the issue is in my user config | 18:36 |
| imalsogreg | histo: So I don't know if it's an effect of adding nvidia-settings, or the second reboot, or what. | 18:36 |
| holstein | Walther: might not be supported... was it supported in older versions? | 18:37 |
| kinkyboo | holstein, How do I do that w/o any GUI? I have the terminal fyi | 18:37 |
| histo | imalsogreg: linux-headers for the new kernel probably wasn't present | 18:37 |
| obrith | it's on my list to use local repos, which could clear this up in quick order, but it's all about time to accomplish it. | 18:37 |
| Walther | holstein: I have no idea, this is my first ATI card ever (got it for free, swapped my GTX 570) | 18:37 |
| holstein | !info adduser | 18:38 |

| holstein | ^^ kinkyboo | 18:38 |
| imalsogreg | histo: Ok. Yes that makes sense. The kernel image got updated, but not the headers. I mentioned earlier that I thought linux-headers was in the security update. Probably I saw 'kernel-image' and misread it. | 18:38 |
| kinkyboo | !adduser holstein | 18:38 |
| holstein | Walther: i would enjoy the price point, and consider checking for compatibility before purchase in the future... what would i do? try live CD's and different drivers/kernels | 18:38 |
| kinkyboo | holestein, what is !info suppose to do? | 18:39 |
| imalsogreg | histo: Perhaps this should still be a bug report? nvidia-current should have linux-headers as a dependency? | 18:39 |
| holstein | kinkyboo: sudo adduser test ....this will add a user named "test" | 18:39 |
| holstein | kinkyboo: !info asks the bot to get info for you.. the infor that came up about the adduser command, and how to use it | 18:40 |

| holstein | ChrisWere: this is nothing to do with linux stability either.. its just flash.. and its not supported well | 18:43 |
| holstein | ChrisWere: you can do this http://www.youtube.com/html5 | 18:43 |

| kinkyboo | jrtappers, logout the current user session so I can login to the newly created account | 18:45 |
| jrtappers | kinkyboo, exit | 18:45 |
| holstein | ChrisWere: it also could be what you are used to.. i dual boot here and spend much more time fixing windows.. and im not saying this to comment on its quality.. just that its easier for me to maintain linux | 18:45 |

| kinkyboo | jrtappers, nope only closes terminal | 18:45 |

| holstein | ChrisWere: almost? it either does or doesnt | 18:49 |
| tgm4883 | ChrisWere, so you are running chromium-browser, not google-chrome | 18:49 |
| holstein | ChrisWere: whats the issue? | 18:49 |
| holstein | ChrisWere: the *actual* chrome version is what i suggested.. its the one that has the most recent flash | 18:49 |
| ChrisWere | holstein: it sometimes thinks flash is installed and it sometimes thinks is isn't | 18:49 |
| tgm4883 | !chrome | 18:50 |
| holstein | ChrisWere: thinks? in what way? what error ? when? do you have a screenshot? | 18:50 |
| tgm4883 | ChrisWere, https://www.google.com/intl/en/chrome/browser/ | 18:50 |
| chisle | upon downloading files in firefox, the sdownload appears to stop when the computer goes into power saving mode. | 18:50 |
| ChrisWere | tgm4883 well I'll try google chrome but what about getting it working on firefox? | 18:50 |
| holstein | ChrisWere: try https://www.google.com/intl/en/chrome/browser/ first | 18:50 |
| tgm4883 | ChrisWere, IDK, I don't use firefox | 18:50 |
| holstein | ChrisWere: we dont get a current version of flash anymore from adobe. you can let them know that you are using firefox in ubuntu and would like support | 18:51 |
| tgm4883 | ChrisWere, but since Adobe dropped Linux support for Flash, you could see if the last version of flash worked | 18:51 |
| holstein | ChrisWere: the volunteers here dont create flash, and are not allowed to maintain it | 18:51 |
| K1rk | Does anyone know of a good utility for checking hard disk integrity... similar to Memtest for Hard Drives? | 18:51 |
| tgm4883 | ChrisWere, I've always installed the flash plugin by hand though | 18:51 |

| tgm4883 | ChrisWere, so use Chrome? | 18:52 |
| holstein | ChrisWere: then, try the *actual* chrome browser i mentioned above, and linked for you | 18:52 |
| holstein | ChrisWere: that is the *only* current and supported flash we are allowed to have | 18:52 |
| holstein | ChrisWere: you can read about this here http://www.adobe.com/software/flash/about/ | 18:53 |
| chisle | ChrisWere: I do use Firefox and 12.04 and have never done a manual install or update to Flash. I dont know how this is done | 18:53 |
| holstein | ChrisWere: you will see that in linux, we are given 11.2, but in chrome (not chromium) we are given 11.6 | 18:53 |
| huayra | imalsogreg, happy it got fixed :) | 18:53 |

| ChrisWere | holstein: yup tried that | 19:08 |
| holstein | ChrisWere: and? what is the error? | 19:08 |
| tgm4883 | holstein, he's got a separate xserver setup it sounds like, meaning, separate mouse/keyboard/monitor | 19:08 |
| ChrisWere | holstein no error, it just won't drag on to the 2nd screen | 19:09 |
| holstein | ChrisWere: try dragging it into the same space/screen and see that you *can* have 2 instances | 19:09 |
| holstein | ChrisWere: then, you can elaborate about your setup,and we'll go from there | 19:09 |
| holstein | ChrisWere: you have 2 instances now? | 19:09 |
| ChrisWere | holstein: I have 2 monitors with it set up so I have 2 taskbars on each screen and I cannot drag window accross | 19:10 |
| tgm4883 | ChrisWere, single xserver? | 19:10 |

| holstein | ChrisWere: ok.. so this has *nothing* to do with chrome.. .what is your setup? | 19:10 |
| holstein | ChrisWere: can you drag anything over to the other monitor? | 19:11 |
| tgm4883 | ChrisWere, then I'm not sure what the issue is you are having. I've got dual monitors setup, nvidia, and can drag to the second monitor just fine | 19:11 |
| * holstein as well | 19:11 | |
| ChrisWere | holstein oh ffs. I KNOW. I have 2 monitors, I want an instance on one monitor and an instance of google chrome on another. I can't seem to do that because it is set up on a way so that I can drag windows from one monitor to the other | 19:11 |
| holstein | ChrisWere: open gedit. drag it to the other monitor.. report | 19:12 |
| ChrisWere | tgm3886: I don't have twin monisters enabled | 19:12 |
| holstein | ChrisWere: can you drag gedit to the other monitor? | 19:12 |
| ChrisWere | holstein I can't, why is this such a difficult concept for you to grasp? | 19:12 |
| tgm4883 | ChrisWere, probably relevant http://i.imgur.com/k6nawAi.jpg | 19:13 |
| holstein | ChrisWere: the concept i am introducing here is that this is not a browser issue.. *nothing* can be dragged between the windows | 19:13 |
| holstein | between the screens | 19:13 |
| waspinator | is there a opencv+ubuntu+qtcreator tutorial out there somewhere? I cant figure out how to compile | 19:13 |
| ChrisWere | holsteing: that's what I'v been trying to say. | 19:13 |
| tgm4883 | ChrisWere, so you've got it setup as a second xscreen then? | 19:14 |
| holstein | ChrisWere: what is happening? you have 2 monitors? and you cant drag anyting between them? | 19:14 |
| ChrisWere | tgm4883: is that the community support I can expect from the linux community? | 19:14 |
| ChrisWere | tgm4883 yes thats right | 19:14 |
| tgm4883 | ChrisWere, when you start being a dick about it, yes | 19:14 |
| holstein | ChrisWere: i am not trying to be combative.. i am just having a hard time understanding | 19:14 |
| holstein | tgm4883: no need for that.. thanks | 19:14 |
| tgm4883 | ChrisWere, holstein was just trying to understand how you have things set up. | 19:14 |
| holstein | ChrisWere: lets keep this constructive.. you have 2 monitors? correct? | 19:15 |
| ChrisWere | holstein: yes xscreen thats right. I didn't know the term | 19:15 |
| holstein | ChrisWere: and, you cant drag windows between? can the mouse cursor go beteen them? | 19:15 |
| tgm4883 | ChrisWere, does that mean you have separate keyboard/mouse for the second screen? (i'm unfamiliar why one would use separate xscreens) | 19:15 |
| ChrisWere | holstein yes the mouse curser goes between | 19:15 |
| holstein | ChrisWere: how did you set them up? | 19:16 |
| ChrisWere | witht he nvidia program | 19:16 |
| davialdall | hello, has anyone ever set up an snmp trap ? | 19:17 |
| holstein | ChrisWere: i would set it up differently.. there are options in the nvidia setup for running 2 seperate sessions, and i would do the other | 19:17 |
| feitingen | ChrisWere: try opening a terminal and type: xdpyinfo | grep -i xinerama | 19:17 |
| tgm4883 | ChrisWere, out of curiosity, what does having separate xscreens gain you? | 19:17 |
| feitingen | davialdall: i believe so | 19:18 |

| Shining_KoW210 | Umm I'm confused | 19:22 |
| holstein | ChrisWere: you dont have to do anything.. but you will need to try some troubleshooting for the volunteers here to see why you cant move windows between your monitors | 19:22 |
| feitingen | ChrisWere: you have to run chrome as a different user on the other screen or enable xinerama so ypu can drag a chrome window over to the other screen | 19:23 |
| tgm4883 | holstein, separate xscreens won't allow that | 19:23 |
| holstein | ChrisWere: what would i do? use the ndivia config tool to setup my screens with one session.. which is how i have mine setup, and my dual head works great | 19:23 |

| ChrisWere | right so I came on here with a minor problem with flash, and the only way to solve it is to completely change the way my monitors work. That pretty much sums up my ubuntu experience | 19:24 |
| feitingen | davialdall: sorry, can't help you much there, but you might have more luck in another channel, say, nagios or linux | 19:24 |

| davialdall | feitingen: tried it but no one is answering …. thanks anyways | 19:25 |
| ChrisWere | tgm4883: your help was to appeal to adobe | 19:25 |
| holstein | ChrisWere: what might help is, come here *before* you configure your graphics.. if you are asking "why cant i move windows between my screens" you have your grphics configure to disable that feature | 19:25 |
| memand | Or to rephrase, where would I put a script that I want to run at login if not in the ~/.xinitrc ? | 19:25 |
| tgm4883 | ChrisWere, no, that would be holstein. I asked you what version of flash firefox thought it was using | 19:25 |

| Shining_KoW210 | I've already done a ton of research | 19:30 |

| Shining_KoW210 | Yes | 19:30 |
| holstein | Shining_KoW210: you can wipe the drive.. you dont have to | 19:30 |

| Davie__ | Ok, so I just finished building my first computer last week and I installed Ubuntu 12.10. I really like it, but I am unable to connect to the internet. I'm running dual boot with WIndows 7 and it worked fine with Windows 7. My only option is a wired connection and the light in the back isn't even coming on when running ubuntu. I have searched the internets and came across this site that leads to another site... | 19:31 |
| Davie__ | http://magnus-k-karlsson.blogspot.com/2013/01/how-to-install-atheros-ar8161-ethernet.html ...I have the atheros ar8161 so this seems to be the solution. I, however, am very new to Linux/Ubuntu and haven't the slightest clue as to what I am doing. I need someone to walk me through this step by step. Preferably in a PM. can someone please help me out? | 19:31 |
| Shining_KoW210 | I just want to get rid of Windows 8, the problem is, Ubuntu is not on a primary harddrive, also boot is on the Windows 8 partition | 19:31 |
| tgm4883 | Shining_KoW210, I think at most, you might have to reinstal grub, but it should be in the MBR | 19:31 |
| kenlik | feitingen, i'm install sudo apt-get install linux-headers-3.5.0-17-generic 3.5.0-17.28, is it ok? | 19:31 |
| tgm4883 | !grub | Shining_KoW210 | 19:31 |
| ubottu | Shining_KoW210: GRUB2 is the default Ubuntu boot manager. Lost GRUB after installing Windows? See https://help.ubuntu.com/community/RestoreGrub - For more information and troubleshooting for GRUB2 please refer to https://help.ubuntu.com/community/Grub2 | 19:31 |
| feitingen | kenlik: i think so | 19:32 |
| holstein | Shining_KoW210: run the installer from the live CD, and choose the option you want | 19:32 |
| Shining_KoW210 | I can't even touch the partition that Ubuntu is on because it's in use, would I have to boot it up using a USB Ubuntu stick? | 19:32 |
| tgm4883 | Shining_KoW210, why are you trying to touch the ubuntu partition? | 19:32 |
| feitingen | Shining_KoW210: pastebin me a fdisk -l please | 19:32 |
| Shining_KoW210 | Because I need it to be a primary partition, I need to wipe the primary Windows 8 partition, then merge it with the Ubuntu partition. | 19:33 |
| holstein | Shining_KoW210: you already have ubuntu installed then.. you want to remove win8 | 19:33 |
| tgm4883 | Shining_KoW210, is ubuntu currently on an extended partition? | 19:33 |
| Shining_KoW210 | yes Ubuntu an extended partition | 19:33 |
| holstein | Shining_KoW210: do you have data in the ubuntu installation? it would be easy to just reinstall ubuntu and wipe the entire drive | 19:34 |
| tgm4883 | Shining_KoW210, then you will need to reinstall | 19:34 |
| tgm4883 | Shining_KoW210, AFAIK, you cannot move an extended partition to a primary partition | 19:34 |
| holstein | Shining_KoW210: just backup the data.. wont take but a few minutes to reinstall | 19:34 |
| Shining_KoW210 | Okay so the best thing would be to just wipe everything up and wipe the entire drive into one primary partition and reinstall Ubuntu? | 19:34 |
| Shining_KoW210 | back everything* | 19:35 |
| holstein | Shining_KoW210: put in the live CD, run the installer, and choose the option you want | 19:35 |
| Shining_KoW210 | Okay I'll do that | 19:35 |
| Shining_KoW210 | Thanks | 19:35 |
| feitingen | Shining_KoW210: that would be the easiest thing | 19:36 |

| BlueEagle | trlNewbie: You don't really "edit an iso file". What you can do is copy the data from it, alter it and then burn it again. (iirc) | 20:23 |
| Trudko | Guys i tried to run rbenv bootstrap-ubuntu-12-04 but I get sudo: rbenv: command not found, rbevn exists. This is my bash file http://pastie.org/6631786 my code I pasted is at the start Not sure what am I actually doing | 20:23 |
| trlNewbie | @BlueEagle, sorry for the PM, I'm kind of new to this. | 20:23 |
| BlueEagle | trlNewbie: Please read the guidelines in the topic of the channel. | 20:24 |
| trlNewbie | @BlueEagle. Well, its not burned, I dont have to burn it, just to edit it... which I just don't know how to | 20:24 |
| trlNewbie | I was trying different programs from the official repository, but they all do not support UDF | 20:25 |
| trlNewbie | I also tried some custom scripts a user posted on a forum on the web. But they don't seem to work properly, aswell | 20:26 |
| BlueEagle | trlNewbie: The thing is that an ISO image is not a read/write file system. So you mount like you would any other partition (google mount iso image) and then copy the data from it to a r/w file system, modify it and then re-create the image from the altered files. | 20:26 |
| trlNewbie | then how do I mount a UDF-Iso? | 20:26 |
| trlNewbie | It just doesn't work | 20:26 |
| trlNewbie | thats what i'm trying to tell | 20:27 |

| clockman | i have it initialized, but fdisk and parted think it's 3 separate drives, i have a /dev/mapper/ file but when i partition it, things go wonky - i only get 2 gigs out of the 4 gigs available | 21:54 |
| clockman | and parted keeps asking me if it's a GPT | 21:54 |
| tgm4883 | clockman, ah yea, I hate that kind of raid | 21:54 |
| clockman | should i just bypass the hardware and use software raid? | 21:55 |
| tgm4883 | clockman, not sure, we bought raid cards for all of our chasis that did that | 21:56 |
| Jordan_U | clockman: It doesn't sound like you have real hardware RAID, it sounds like you have FakeRAID. In which case, true linux software RAID is better in almost every way, including using less CPU. | 21:56 |
| tgm4883 | clockman, IIRC, that is acutally fakeraid | 21:56 |
| clockman | well it's an nvidia raid controller built into the mobo | 21:57 |
| lunitik | clockman: fdisk and parted don't support GPT... you can try gdisk (fdisk) or cgdisk (cfdisk alternative) | 21:58 |
| Jordan_U | clockman: That's FakeRAID. The controller does almost nothing, all RAID is actually handled by the OS in software. It's also sometimes called ScamRAID because people are lead to believe that it's more than just software RAID + Option ROMS for the BIOS. | 21:58 |
| tgm4883 | clockman, https://help.ubuntu.com/community/FakeRaidHowto | 21:58 |
| lunitik | actually, I guess parted should, but I've not tried it. | 21:58 |
| jhutchin1_wk | Interesting application of ubuntu: http://ninjablocks.com/ | 21:59 |
| clockman | those buttheads :-) | 21:59 |
| tgm4883 | clockman, I agree. We had to buy a bunch of $400 hardware raid cards for our ESXi servers | 21:59 |
| clockman | okay, i'm going to disable the raid controller completely and just use software | 22:00 |
| Jordan_U | clockman: So whatever you do, you're going to be using software to handle the work of RAID, you can either use software built around Nvidia's proprietary RAID format, or you can use the open format of mdraid. | 22:00 |
| tgm4883 | dmraid* | 22:00 |
| Jordan_U | tgm4883: dmraid is for FakeRAID, mdraid is for non-fake RAID (though support for FakeRAID is being added to it as well, to confuse things :). | 22:01 |
| tgm4883 | Jordan_U, really? I didn't know that. Seems that they shouldn't have just flipped the letters (would be less confusing that way) | 22:01 |
| Jordan_U | tgm4883: I agree, it's very confusing. No idea how naming was decided. | 22:02 |
| tgm4883 | Jordan_U, err, how come apt-cache search doesn't find anything with mdraid? | 22:02 |
| tgm4883 | Jordan_U, is it mdadm? | 22:03 |
| Jordan_U | tgm4883: Yes. | 22:03 |
| tgm4883 | ah ok | 22:03 |
| jhutchin1_wk | I think confusion is a major goal of the design philosophy for Linux RAID. | 22:10 |
| Thete | How do I drop out into a shell on ubuntu? | 22:10 |
| jhutchin1_wk | Thete: Ctrl-Alt-F[1-6] or open a terminal. | 22:11 |

| jhutchin1_wk | Thete: If you need to shut down the gui you stop gdm. | 22:11 |

| tgm4883 | jhutchin1_wk, lightdm? | 22:12 |

| Jordan_U | Thete: Try explaining what issues you're actually having. Just re-installing things isn't likely to help much of anything. | 22:17 |
| Thete | I think software updater crapped out during an update | 22:17 |
| Thete | It's not a big deal really, just curious how to drop out of X in ubuntu | 22:17 |

| minimec | Hi. I am working on a script to handle my the '/sys/devices/system/cpu/cpu0/cpufreq/scaling_max_freq' file. To achieve that I have to listen to file changes in '/sys/devices/system/cpu/cpu0/cpufreq/scaling_governor'. Unfotunately the 'ls -l' command would only show the date and time, when the /sys directory was mounted... Would you have an idea, how to implement a 'listener' for the /sys/... directory? | 22:22 |
| GuEsT112039 | Hello, i Have a bunch of windows 7 machines (about 120), which are on the same network as my main ubuntu box. What would be the best way to issue a remote shutdown of them at the end of the night? | 22:22 |
| Thete | powershell | 22:22 |
| carrera | I've been using Ext4 on all my external drives so far. Is there a better FS that I can try? | 22:23 |
| GuEsT112039 | does that work through wine? | 22:23 |
| Thete | do it from one of the windows machines | 22:23 |
| donttrustem | _method:does not matter what I do I cannot get my mac to see the USB key :S | 22:23 |
| Thete | You're gonna need privelages anyways to do so | 22:24 |
| GuEsT112039 | They are all elsewhere in the building. while i could go that route if their is no other option, I would first like to attempt it from ubuntu | 22:24 |
| GuEsT112039 | I have whatever passwords are required | 22:24 |
| tunnelguy | hello | 22:24 |
| === jess is now known as Guest26050 | ||
| Thete | spose you could try it if the local policy of the machines allows it | 22:25 |
| === Guest26050 is now known as ReinadeCorazones | ||
| Thete | GuEsT112039: net rpc SHUTDOWN -C "enter a comment to display at shutdown" -f -I x.x.x.x -U username%password | 22:25 |
| tgm4883 | GuEsT112039, http://technet.microsoft.com/en-us/magazine/ff808410.aspx | 22:25 |
| Thete | that'll only work though if the policy on the machine allows RPC though | 22:26 |
| amigamia | what is the ubuntu enterprise cloud all about? | 22:27 |
| amigamia | is this like rackspace private cloud? | 22:28 |
| === Guest5879 is now known as prismas | ||
| tunnelguy | why does ubuntu decide my other hard-drive is eject-able? | 22:29 |
| Thete | cause technically any volume other than the system volume is | 22:29 |
| carrera | does encrypting a drive make read/writes slower? | 22:29 |
| Thete | carrera: No, but it has more overhead cause it has to read/write more data | 22:30 |
| Goud26 | speak franch | 22:30 |
| carrera | Thete, Thanks! :) | 22:30 |
| Goud26 | french | 22:30 |
| tunnelguy | does the hard drive name change ever in the media/username folder? | 22:30 |
| k1l_ | !fr | Goud26 | 22:30 |
| ubottu | Goud26: Nous sommes désolés, mais ce canal est en anglais uniquement. Si vous avez besoin d'aide ou voulez discuter en français, veuillez taper /join #ubuntu-fr ou /join #ubuntu-qc. Merci. | 22:30 |
| GuEsT112039 | Thete, thanks for the response. One more thing about it, though. They don't use static ips, but we have all of the computer names. | 22:31 |
| carrera | Any suggestions for a better FS than Ext4 (for an external drive)? | 22:31 |
| === randall is now known as Guest51635 | ||
| k1l_ | carrera: ntfs. when it needs to be used on windows machines too | 22:31 |
| GuEsT112039 | as for the group policy, if you just go on a windows machine to the cmd "shutdown -i" and do it that way it works fine | 22:31 |
| GuEsT112039 | or /i rather | 22:32 |
| tgm4883 | GuEsT112039, but the question is, can you do that remotly | 22:32 |
| GuEsT112039 | yes | 22:32 |
| Thete | by default though, I think RPC only allows trusted rpc connections | 22:32 |
| carrera | k1l_, thanks, I should have said besides NTFS, cause I run Win7 on VirtualBox | 22:32 |
| GuEsT112039 | that is what i mean (because we used to do it messing with people sitting in the same room) | 22:32 |
| Thete | the local computer is already "trusted" | 22:32 |
| GuEsT112039 | lol | 22:32 |
| GuEsT112039 | and all the computers in this building are on the same subnet i think | 22:33 |
| Thete | are they on a domain? | 22:33 |
| GuEsT112039 | yes | 22:33 |
| Thete | Then your ubuntu box would have to be a trusted machine to be able to send the others rpc commands | 22:33 |
| Thete | otherwise they'll just ignore it | 22:34 |
| tunnelguy | how would i link a folder on a second hard drive to one on the hard drive ubuntu is on? | 22:34 |
| Ben64 | tunnelguy: man ln | 22:35 |
| MO_Handes | grub fails to boot to win8 in uefi mode.what is the problem? | 22:35 |
| tunnelguy | ben64 i tried that already and after a reboot it desided the folder didnt exist anymore | 22:35 |
| Thete | MO_Handes: You running grub 2? | 22:35 |
| Ben64 | tunnelguy: the folder would have to be in the same spot as before | 22:36 |
| GuEsT112039 | sorry i was interrupted | 22:36 |
| GuEsT112039 | I have the credentials that are needed to join the network | 22:36 |
| tunnelguy | that is what i thought... lets try again :) | 22:36 |
| MO_Handes | Thete, yes | 22:36 |
| Thete | GuEsT112039: You can try it, but I'm guessing it's gonna need more than that | 22:37 |
| Thete | otherwise that'd be really insecure, but it's MS so hey, it might work | 22:38 |
| wachpwnski1 | Can someone give me a hand getting pulse audio to detect my hdmi? | 22:45 |

| amigamia | hi if they are disconntinuing support for 10.04lts what about the server? | 22:50 |
| amigamia | is the server supported for another year? | 22:51 |
| wubino | i am transferring files over to a new install. What do I have to make sure with permissions that they will be compatible with the new install? Basically I am backing up my files on one ubuntu install and want to use them in a clean install | 22:53 |
| Ermac109 | Depends wubino. | 22:54 |
| Ermac109 | What type of files are they? | 22:54 |
| Bagelis | Hello guys and sry for bothering you.I have accidentically deleted a file on my phone is there any way with ubuntu to get it back ?? thanks for your time :) | 22:55 |
| wubino | two db files redis and mongodb | 22:55 |
| wubino | those are the ones I am concerned about | 22:55 |
| === tadp0le is now known as packetfrog | ||
| DottorLeo | hi! | 22:55 |
| === packetfrog is now known as tadpole | ||
| Ermac109 | There shouldn’t be any problem with it then. You can give them permission if it needs to. | 22:56 |
| vlt | Bagelis: An image? | 22:56 |
| vlt | Bagelis: You could try photorec from the testdisk pkg. | 22:56 |
| Johnnie71 | does someone knows something about open office calc? | 22:57 |
| vlt | Johnnie71: No. | 22:57 |
| Johnnie71 | ok | 22:57 |
| Ermac109 | Use Libre Office Johnnie71. | 22:57 |
| DottorLeo | need an advice about Ubuntu and Android: i have a phone (LG optimus one) and i'm searching a program to organize my calendar between the pc and the phone. is there anything for Ubuntu? | 22:58 |
| dodo3773 | wubino: Did you delete it with the file browser in Ubuntu or the file browser on the phone? Or did you rm it etc.etc... | 22:58 |
| vlt | dodo3773: You could just use Google’s calendar. | 22:58 |
| === husker1 is now known as husker | ||
| wubino | I cp to disk | 22:58 |
| Bagelis | vlt: The thing is that atm my ubuntu cant even find my phone | 22:58 |
| Ermac109 | If you rm it well that's gone wubino. | 22:58 |
| wubino | Ermac109: i do not want it gone | 22:59 |
| dodo3773 | DottorLeo: read vlt post above. Think that was directed at you | 22:59 |
| Bagelis | i connected it to my pc and it dosent seem to appear anywhere | 22:59 |
| Ermac109 | So did you delete it using a file browser? | 22:59 |
| wubino | Ermac109: I want to be sure I have the proper premisions to use it on a clean install | 22:59 |
| vlt | dodo3773: Yes, sorry. | 22:59 |
| DottorLeo | i have no data plan | 22:59 |
| wubino | permissions | 22:59 |
| DottorLeo | on the phone so i need something that read directly from the phone | 22:59 |
| DottorLeo | with USB or BT | 23:00 |
| dodo3773 | wubino: You are trying to copy files but preserve permissions? | 23:00 |
| Ermac109 | No dodo3773 his moving to a new install ubuntu machine right? wubino? | 23:00 |
| wubino | dodo3773: I want to not preserver permissions | 23:00 |
| wachpwnski1 | I need help trouble shooting this pulse audio not detecting my hdmi monitors audio | 23:01 |
| Bagelis | so ?? how can i make ubuntu recognise my phone ? | 23:01 |
| wubino | dodo3773: Ermac109: right, I have root access but the permissions say only root can use the files | 23:01 |
| vlt | DottorLeo: The calendar is sync’d everytime you’re online. You could connect via WiFi. Might be even easier than plgging in a USB cable everytime. | 23:01 |
| wubino | dodo3773: Ermac109: not my username | 23:01 |
| jyg | "ubuntu, this is my phone. phone, this is ubuntu" | 23:01 |
| Ermac109 | Alright then wubino become root. | 23:02 |
| wubino | dodo3773: Ermac109: so if I move them to a clean install will there be any problems? What can I do to prevent then | 23:02 |
| Ermac109 | And then change permission. | 23:02 |
| wubino | So root on the new install will work as well as root on this install? | 23:02 |
| vlt | Bagelis: It’s an Android phone, right? | 23:02 |
| DottorLeo | vlt, true but sometimes i can't use wifi (especially when i'm out of home) | 23:02 |
| Ermac109 | Yeah. root is the main man dude :) | 23:02 |
| DottorLeo | there is no "offline" editor? | 23:02 |
| Ermac109 | Well you are since is your machine. | 23:03 |
| DottorLeo | that can read the phone memory and edit/backup it from pc? | 23:03 |
| vlt | DottorLeo: Ok, I was just trying to avoid a too complicated setup in case you did’t know about Google’s calendar. | 23:03 |
| wubino | dodo3773: Ermac109: Ok; i conflated file security with Domain Access Control... or something like that | 23:03 |
| wubino | thanks | 23:03 |
| DottorLeo | no problem vlt, if you have a solution tell me :) | 23:03 |
| Ermac109 | No wubino. | 23:04 |
| Bagelis | yes its an android file | 23:04 |
| Bagelis | phone* | 23:04 |
| vlt | DottorLeo: But when you’re out of home you wouldn’t have your PC near anyways, right? | 23:04 |
| Mrokii | Hello. Is there a way to reset or rewrite the menu LightD | 23:04 |
| Mrokii | *presents me? | 23:05 |
| vlt | Bagelis: The phone might ask you whether to “charge only” or “act as drive” when connected. | 23:05 |
| Mrokii | The reason is that it shows IceWM twice for some reason. | 23:05 |
| dark_soul | what is the best way to determine whether root account is enabled or disabled on ubuntu? | 23:06 |
| DottorLeo | yes, that why sometimes i need to reorganize quickly my calendar, and with a program like Outlook (or something similar) i can do it faster :) | 23:06 |
| DottorLeo | also i prefer have a backup | 23:06 |
| DottorLeo | *to have | 23:06 |
| dodo3773 | dark_soul: root account is always there on most gnu/linux systems. What do you mean by enabled? | 23:07 |
| Ermac109 | dark_soul your terminal prompt will change from white to red. Red is root, white is normal user. | 23:07 |
| Bagelis | no it dosent ask me any of that it just start to charge and say that my internal memory is connected to this pc , but i cant find it | 23:07 |
| w30 | does any one know the command to get the "wall" for your desktop? | 23:07 |
| dark_soul | i am creating a script that will check if root account is "enabled" by that i mean if its been setup, cause ubuntu appears to not set it up by default | 23:07 |
| dark_soul | i believe you enable it by giving it a passwd | 23:07 |
| vlt | DottorLeo: You can organise your Google calendar with tools like outlook. Just use the service as your sync tool. | 23:07 |
| dodo3773 | dark_soul: So you want the script to check if the user is root while the script is running or exit? | 23:08 |
| vlt | DottorLeo: Again, in case it’s not clear: You can use your calendar on the phone even offline. | 23:08 |
| dark_soul | not exactly | 23:08 |
| dark_soul | a user will run the script with sudo | 23:08 |
| dark_soul | and the script will check if root account is setup | 23:08 |
| dark_soul | or enabled. | 23:08 |
| DottorLeo | yes vlt, but when you have 10 note to add to it it's taking quite some time | 23:09 |
| k1l_ | dark_soul: dodo3773 setting up a rootacciunt is not recommended on ubuntu | 23:09 |
| DottorLeo | my ideal setup is create and organize the calendar from pc and send to the phone | 23:09 |
| vlt | DottorLeo: I know. So what are you exactly looking for? | 23:09 |
| DottorLeo | but i'm asking for ubuntu, outlook was an example. | 23:09 |
| dark_soul | k1|_: i would concur, aside from that, anyway to check? | 23:10 |
| DottorLeo | i've seen Thunderbird + Lightning but i can't find if it works like i would | 23:10 |
| DottorLeo | someone have tried it? | 23:10 |
| dodo3773 | dark_soul: So what you are trying to do is see if the root passwd has been changed since install? | 23:10 |
| dark_soul | doodo: that or even set to begin wit | 23:11 |
| dark_soul | with | 23:11 |
| dodo3773 | dark_soul: "Setup" doesn't mean anything to me / I don't understand what you mean. If you mean the root passwd has been changed I guess that makes sense if not you've lost me. root is there whether you change the password or not | 23:12 |
| dark_soul | doodo3773: i might be confused then, cause when i setup ubuntu clean install, the root account is not "enabled" | 23:13 |
| dark_soul | i don't remember setting any password for it | 23:13 |
| dark_soul | but yet the account exists in /etc/passwd | 23:13 |
| dark_soul | so thats why i keep on asking how do you check if its enabled | 23:13 |
| Guest1100101 | hi all, I'm trying to install 12.04 into a LVM partition, I created lv's for boot,root,home,swap, but the installer won't let me select the swap mount point (the others work), any idea? | 23:13 |
| k1l_ | !root | dark_soul dodo3773 | 23:14 |
| ubottu | dark_soul dodo3773: Do not try to guess the root password, that is impossible. Instead, realise the truth... there is no root password. Then you will see that it is 'sudo' that grants you access and not the root password. Look at https://help.ubuntu.com/community/RootSudo | 23:14 |
| dark_soul | ubottu: thanks, i think that article answers it | 23:15 |

| Thete | mlc_: You some kind of blogger or something? | 23:31 |
