| r0tha | you could also try running "sudo pstree -p" and try to find the process name | 00:00 |

| Tonisius | What could possibly be wrong with this line? | 00:00 |
| riobe | r0tha: Yeah. I right clicked the icon in the launcher and the two options is the program name and unluock from launcher. Right clicking the program name just opens it. | 00:00 |
| riobe | r0tha: Ooo, that sounds clever. I'll try it. | 00:00 |
| ntzrmtthihu777 | I've got the idea in mind to teach myself colemak typing. is there a way I can switch between keyboard layouts on the fly, like how I use ibus to switch between english, japanese, and chinese? | 00:01 |
| mariko | I don't know. | 00:01 |
| riobe | r0tha: It's running under idea.sh, but "which idea" and "which idea.sh" both don't work. Is that still something I can sudo run? (Thanks very much for the help, btw) | 00:02 |
| riobe | That's a neat command I've never seen before. | 00:02 |
| riobe | The pstree one | 00:02 |
| r0tha | oh naw, which will only show the the directory the binary is in | 00:02 |
| trism | ntzrmtthihu777: add another layout and an indicator should appear to allow you to switch between them | 00:02 |
| === ms|afk is now known as mikestewart | ||
| riobe | Ah, ok. But if I can figure out where idea.sh is, I should be able to gksudo it. | 00:03 |
| AwesomeNewbie | Why can't linux support file endings | 00:03 |
| r0tha | are you trying to just run it on the command line? or automate something? | 00:03 |
| AwesomeNewbie | thats so annoying | 00:03 |
| riobe | r0tha: I need to run it with admin | 00:03 |
| riobe | r0tha: so it can update itself. | 00:03 |
| ntzrmtthihu777 | trism: that simple? where do I do that | 00:03 |
| Tonisius | So, anything wrong with that line? | 00:03 |
| ntzrmtthihu777 | AwesomeNewbie: what do you mean, file endings? | 00:03 |
| === dim|2 is now known as pons | ||
| trism | ntzrmtthihu777: system settings/keyboard/layout settings (at the bottom) | 00:04 |
| AwesomeNewbie | my problem above | 00:04 |
| ntzrmtthihu777 | AwesomeNewbie: I just came on channel, you'll hafta repeat it | 00:04 |
| AwesomeNewbie | when i right click "new document" in file browser and put in the filename with ending, this only works for some types like .c | 00:05 |
| AwesomeNewbie | i wrote a .xls | 00:05 |
| ntzrmtthihu777 | AwesomeNewbie: you mean like extensions? | 00:05 |
| AwesomeNewbie | opened it, and created a document for one hour | 00:05 |
| ntzrmtthihu777 | eg .txt, .html, .foo? | 00:06 |
| jrib | AwesomeNewbie: how did you save it? | 00:06 |
| AwesomeNewbie | yes | 00:06 |
| AwesomeNewbie | ending <-> extension | 00:06 |
| riobe | That's...odd. gksudo idea.sh (I found it in /opt/intellij-idea-ce-bin) just processes for a moment and does nothing visible. sudo idea.sh says command not found. | 00:06 |
| riobe | I think I did something wrong. | 00:06 |
| AwesomeNewbie | It's all the same :P | 00:06 |
| r0tha | riobe: that would be permissions | 00:06 |
| r0tha | the file needs to be executable so do the following: | 00:07 |
| ntzrmtthihu777 | AwesomeNewbie: one, linux does suport that, two, it is not all that important, and three, you can set it up to where the new document option can create blanks of various sorts | 00:07 |
| r0tha | sudo chmod +x idea.sh | 00:07 |
| riobe | r0tha: Oh, ok. That makes this trickier. | 00:07 |
| r0tha | then run sudo ./idea.sh | 00:07 |
| riobe | Oh, I'll try that. | 00:07 |
| r0tha | the ./ says "execute this file" | 00:07 |
| AwesomeNewbie | but i opened the file (it opend with calc, like i want) and then created the document one hour long. | 00:07 |
| jrib | AwesomeNewbie: I just tried here to do what you said and calc will prompt you when not saving in ODF format (for example if it's a csv file) unless you disabled that feature | 00:08 |
| ntzrmtthihu777 | r0tha: actually it says "in this directory", you cannot execute a file with just its name unless its in your $PATH | 00:08 |
| AwesomeNewbie | i saved severall times, and at the end closed the document | 00:08 |
| ntzrmtthihu777 | AwesomeNewbie: just rename the file with the proper extension | 00:08 |
| AwesomeNewbie | but now only the last sheet without formats and comments, ... is available, because calc saved it as "Text CSV Format" even though the ending it .xls | 00:09 |
| AwesomeNewbie | so don't tell me linux cared about the file ending | 00:09 |
| riobe | r0tha: Success!!! | 00:09 |
| jrib | AwesomeNewbie: you created an "empty document", correct? | 00:09 |
| riobe | r0tha: Thanks a TON. lol | 00:09 |
| AwesomeNewbie | ntzrmtthihu777: what do you mean? | 00:10 |
| AwesomeNewbie | jrib: yes | 00:10 |
| r0tha | riobe: no worries, exactly one year ago i didn't know my way around bash/terminal | 00:10 |
| r0tha | you'll pick it up quick | 00:10 |
| ntzrmtthihu777 | AwesomeNewbie: I can, instead of empty document, create from that menu quite alot | 00:10 |
| jrib | AwesomeNewbie: this just creates a blank file. It doesn't create a blank xls file. If you want to have the ability to create a blank xls file, you can create a blank xls file and save it to ~/Templates | 00:10 |
| riobe | r0tha: It seems pretty easy when you know what is supposed to happen and what your options are. I've been in Linux for like a week at this point, so I haven't learned too much ye.t | 00:11 |
| ntzrmtthihu777 | AwesomeNewbie: blank pygtk, html, all sorts of stuff | 00:11 |
| AwesomeNewbie | i don't care | 00:11 |
| ntzrmtthihu777 | AwesomeNewbie: exactly what jrib said. create a blank template file, call it Blank XLS.xls, and save it in that locatioin | 00:11 |
| ntzrmtthihu777 | AwesomeNewbie: then, when you do the right-click create new, the new options will show up there | 00:12 |
| AwesomeNewbie | if i make a empty file .xls ending, it has to be .xls like it's working with .cpp, .html, and with all files on windows | 00:12 |
| huedude | guise what the best way to compress files? i mean like, compress 6gbs to 100mbs, hardcore style? | 00:12 |
| jrib | AwesomeNewbie: .cpp and .html are just text files. .xls are not | 00:12 |
| mJayk | huedude: with lots of loss :P | 00:12 |
| === Tr0gd0r is now known as Tr0gd0r__ | ||
| mJayk | huedude: srsly though it depends upon the file type when you want that much compression | 00:13 |
| ntzrmtthihu777 | AwesomeNewbie: you created a blank text file and named it xls, that is your problem. | 00:13 |
| huedude | mJayk: what u mean? | 00:13 |
| huedude | mJayk: its a .iso file | 00:13 |
| AwesomeNewbie | but why the hell can the damn calc think, that i want to save my table as a "Text CSV" ??? | 00:13 |
| ntzrmtthihu777 | !language | AwesomeNewbie | 00:13 |
| ubottu | AwesomeNewbie: Please watch your language and topic to help keep this channel family-friendly, polite, and professional. | 00:13 |
| jrib | AwesomeNewbie: because that's what it was when you opened it. And by default it warns you when saving if you will lose information because of your format | 00:13 |
| mJayk | huedude: well the algorithm used to compress say a sound file will be alot different to the one used to compress say a hudge database file | 00:13 |
| mJayk | huedude: if you want that sort of compression you need to find something that is very specific for your file type | 00:14 |
| cronus | AwesomeNewbie, i tried to recreate but i couldn't. libreoffice asked me the filetype on startup and when i selected excel it popped an error. | 00:14 |
| AwesomeNewbie | but it always annoys me when saving .xls so i disabled this | 00:14 |
| === King is now known as Guest13078 | ||
| ntzrmtthihu777 | AwesomeNewbie: anyways, all you need to do is open calc, save a blank file as Blank XLS.xls in ~/Templates, or csv as Blank CSV.csv, then you can create that file-type on the fly. | 00:15 |
| ntzrmtthihu777 | AwesomeNewbie: and don't blame linux based on your error. you cannot simply transform a txt file into xls | 00:15 |
| AwesomeNewbie | that don't brings me back one hour of working! | 00:16 |
| ntzrmtthihu777 | AwesomeNewbie: again, no one to blame but yourself. | 00:16 |
| AwesomeNewbie | the competitor can!!!! | 00:17 |

The 6520 is on the SANE project's support list (http://www.sane-project.org/sane-backends.html) but only for SCSI. Is there any hope of getting this working or am I just doomed to wait until SAN USB support | 00:17 |
| puff | done?? | 00:17 |

| mJayk | huedude: lemme know :) | 00:17 |
| AwesomeNewbie | ntzrmtthihu777: in windows i just click new text file. changes the .txt do .doc, .xls or whatever and everything works | 00:18 |
| ntzrmtthihu777 | huedude: its a .iso file you are trying to compress | 00:18 |
| ntzrmtthihu777 | AwesomeNewbie: then go crying back to bill gates. | 00:18 |
| huedude | ntzrmtthihu777: yes | 00:18 |
| AwesomeNewbie | no | 00:19 |
| AwesomeNewbie | because everything else is better here! | 00:19 |
| ntzrmtthihu777 | AwesomeNewbie: do as we said, and this will be just the same, better eve. | 00:19 |
| bekks | AwesomeNewbie: File extensions are meaningless. You have to specify the file format you want to be stored in your file, whatever its filename is. | 00:20 |
| AwesomeNewbie | and i also now that it's my fault, but it's anyway annoying! | 00:20 |
| ntzrmtthihu777 | huedude: if you convert the iso to .bin and then ecm compress it you should get a very good compression. | 00:20 |
| ntzrmtthihu777 | AwesomeNewbie: do as jrib and I said and the annoyance will be gone. | 00:20 |
| chrisoei | /join #javascript | 00:21 |
| bekks | ntzrmtthihu777: .iso is an .bin with a distinct header. 99% of the data in both files are identical. | 00:21 |
| ntzrmtthihu777 | bekks: yes, but the bin format can be ecm compressed, iso cannot. huge compression, too. | 00:21 |
| huedude | ntzrmtthihu777: how from .iso to .bin and then ecm? | 00:22 |
| Ben64 | ntzrmtthihu777: thats not accurate | 00:22 |
| ntzrmtthihu777 | emulation sites use it to store isos, and rar or 7z on top of that to save server space and download bandwidth | 00:22 |
| ntzrmtthihu777 | Ben64: my statement or the compression method | 00:23 |
| Ben64 | statement | 00:23 |
| ntzrmtthihu777 | huedude: not sure off hand, maybe acetoneiso can do it, lemme check. | 00:23 |
| ntzrmtthihu777 | Ben64: I attempted to icm a win7ult iso I have, no dice | 00:23 |

| cronus | puff, according to http://hplipopensource.com/hplip-web/models/photosmart/photosmart_6520_series.html it should work with hplip 3.12.9 | 00:25 |
| huedude | ntzrmtthihu777: so.. does acetoneiso work? im installing it btw | 00:25 |
| Ben64 | for almost all circumstances, you cannot get "huge compression" from an iso | 00:26 |
| ntzrmtthihu777 | Ben64: thats why I said change it to bin first. | 00:26 |
| Ben64 | of course it depends what it is, if its a cd image of text, yeah it'll compress | 00:26 |
| Ben64 | bin = iso | 00:26 |
| ntzrmtthihu777 | bin != iso | 00:26 |
| Ben64 | they're almost identical | 00:27 |
| ntzrmtthihu777 | Ben64: and that almost is what makes all the difference | 00:27 |
| huedude | its a .iso of a game | 00:27 |

| ewook | Aaand a good evening. Got a fun question. I got a usb-modem plugged in working.. but I'd like to somehow catch the tty output and parse it.. any pointers how? | 00:39 |
| bekks | ewook: Use minicom, configure a logfile, parse it | 00:40 |
| ewook | bekks: was thinking about that.. but I'd like to use a mysql backend. so modding http://aplawrence.com/BGarlock/logger.html could work (base the script on perl). | 00:41 |
| ewook | bekks: using first minicom and then perl adds to much that could go wrong.. | 00:42 |
| bekks | ewook: Sounds a bit weird. you want to store the output of a modem in a mysql db? | 00:42 |
| ewook | bekks: wanna log caller id's. | 00:42 |
| bekks | ewook: Then parse the file, store the caller ids into a file, etc. | 00:43 |
| ewook | bekks: but wouldn't that require me to leave minicom running? | 00:43 |
| ewook | and if it died, so does the logging. | 00:43 |
| bekks | ewook: Sure. | 00:43 |
| ewook | true, I would gain access to the modem straight on. | 00:44 |
| bekks | ewook: Everything else I could imagine is a small app(to be coded) that parses the tty output and creates that file/stores the caller ids. | 00:44 |
| ewook | bekks: yepp. that's what I think I'd be going for since access to the pi in this case I'd be using will not have ssh running on it :) | 00:46 |

| ClientAlive | I'm stuck in a loop with my installation. Right after finishing the partitioning step, I'm given a message that the ESP could not be mounted and asked to choose retrun to the partitioner or move ahead. The next step if I move ahead is to install the base system. Because of the design I'm trying to implemnt, I realize I may have to manually install the bootloader after the rest of installation is done. That is fine with me and is what I had | 00:55 |
| ClientAlive | planned to do. How can I get past this problem and complete the installation so I can go back and install the bootloader later?? | 00:55 |
| ClientAlive | Partitioning info can be seen here: http://ideone.com/V37BYt | 00:56 |

| k1l_ | echoee: its out of support. read the message from the bot and the 2 links to know why and what is a solution to upgrade | 01:37 |

| echoee | is there a way to find out where hte setting is? | 02:23 |

| wilee-nilee | mylezzz, I would look at it with gparted and anyerror messages there as well. | 02:25 |
| echoee | alright, I am fetching packages now, thanks heap cronus | 02:25 |
| wilee-nilee | not sure if gparted reads a gpt though | 02:25 |

| echoee | any how, many thanks for your help | 02:27 |
| nullx | no package for that, right? | 02:27 |
| mylezzz | wilee-nilee: I haen't checked fragmentation but it shouldn't be fragmented, nothing is ever deleted, the collection of files on it just keeps growing one after another but I could try this if you think it may work? | 02:27 |
| cronus | echoee, np | 02:27 |
| hecsa | sorry, clonezilla | 02:27 |
| nullx | I will google | 02:27 |
| nullx | yeah =) | 02:27 |
| nullx | I only see live cd options if I'm not mistaken for that | 02:27 |

| Kow | there exists a bug with intel usb3 support in kernel versions <= 3.6 which results in usb3 not working as intended | 02:30 |

| hecsa | mylezzz: which kernel do you use? | 02:30 |
| mylezzz | wilee-nilee: Also if I run fdisk or gdisk it shows my first 2 drives and right before its about to print the details of the external drive it just stops and sits there, only way to stop it is to close terminal | 02:30 |
| nullx | well thanks guys I'm gonna try it now | 02:30 |
| nullx | this is for local hdds right? clonezilla | 02:30 |
| wilee-nilee | mylezzz, I just had a 2 terrabyte usb loose file permissions in windows, not exactly related, but sometimes you just have to knock out variables. | 02:30 |

| nullx | wilee-nilee: yeah I just wanna run it from ubuntu though, not have to reboot into it.. | 02:36 |
| nullx | hmrm | 02:36 |
| mylezzz | Kow: Haha fantastic, is there a way to return to the old kernel if it doesnt work? | 02:36 |
| waspinator | I'm having trouble connecting to my works vpn using ubuntu. It works out of the box on windows 7 and osx. It just says it failed to connect without any error | 02:36 |
| Kow | mylezzz: yes i believe if you hold shift during startup you can select the old kernel | 02:36 |
| Kow | mylezzz: install all debs that end in _amd64.deb and also the one that ends in _all.deb | 02:37 |
| wilee-nilee | nullx, Not sure if mountable in linux, I doubt it, you could just dd it, but grub will pickup the boot stuff, it can be problematic if on the same HD as original. | 02:37 |
| Kow | command "dpkg -i package1.deb package2.deb ..." | 02:37 |
| nullx | wille-nilee: nah, seperate entirely | 02:37 |
| mylezzz | Kow: Ok so install of them using that command, then reboot and try it? | 02:38 |
| Kow | yep | 02:38 |
| wilee-nilee | nullx, Is the original working, and what is it you need? | 02:38 |
| nullx | willee-nille: ubuntu on one ssd, windows on the other ssd.. and I have a storage drive to store the ghost image on | 02:38 |
| mylezzz | Kow: Just run that command from the terminal in the OS now or do I need to get out of the GUI? | 02:38 |
| nullx | wille-nille: I use both regularly.. like, if I'm doing dev work I might go on ubuntu, if I'm gaming I might go on windows. I want to image the windows one and just have a copy just-in-case. | 02:39 |
| Kow | mylezzz: you can do it now. however, before you do it.. i would reboot and make sure when you hold down the SHIFT key you get options to select which kernel | 02:39 |
| Kow | only then would i install those new debs | 02:39 |
| nullx | I think I have an old acronis backup cd somewhere, but I think it's more practical to do it over a working install | 02:39 |
| mylezzz | Kow: ok I'll check now, thanks for the help. I really appreciate it, hard to find decent help these days. Speak to you soon. | 02:40 |
| mylezzz | wilee-nilee & hecsa, same to you both. thanks. | 02:40 |
| wilee-nilee | nullx, Personally I have all the stuff I want to preserve beyond the OS's I have that on externals, and images of the 5 OS's on the ssd in my setup, hardly nothing but the OS on the main internal HD | 02:41 |
| hecsa | mylezzz: you're welcome! I hope you have fun using GNU/Linux! | 02:41 |

| mylezzz | Kow: does it look bad? | 03:07 |
| dell | Logos01: That means grub is loading at boot, only ubuntu would not load right? | 03:07 |
| dell | Logos01: What configuration did you make during your last boot, if you remember? | 03:08 |
| hanasaki | what will allow the cpu to chagne speeds .. ? slow on idle and faster on high use? right now the cpu runs at full speed all the time | 03:09 |
| SamuraiAlba | Chronus, I greatly appreciate that link. Thank you | 03:10 |
| mylezzz | hecsa: You still on here? | 03:10 |
| hecsa | mylezzz: yeap...a bit sleepy, but alive :D | 03:10 |
| dell | hanasaki: Do you have discrete graphics card? | 03:10 |
| hanasaki | nope.. amd chips on the mobo | 03:11 |
| mylezzz | hecsa: Haha, i tried updating the Kernel but this happened, would you take a look for me? http://paste.ubuntu.com/5638971/ | 03:11 |
| hecsa | mylezzz: going there | 03:11 |
| hanasaki | dell why | 03:12 |
| dell | hanasaki: Try this command as root "echo OFF > /sys/kernel/debug/vgaswitcheroo/switch". Does it slow down the cpu? | 03:12 |
| hanasaki | cat: /sys/kernel/debug/vgaswitcheroo/switch: No such file or directory | 03:12 |
| dell | hanasaki: You have amd graphics card? | 03:12 |
| hanasaki | no - amd chips on the mobo | 03:13 |
| dell | hanasaki: did you go to root using "sudo su -" first, before executing above command. In normal usermode that file does not appear | 03:13 |
| hanasaki | VGA compatible controller: Advanced Micro Devices [AMD] nee ATI RS780 [Radeon HD 3200] | 03:14 |
| hanasaki | dell yes | 03:14 |
| dell | hanasaki: Ok sorry i though most would be intel graphics cards. | 03:14 |
| Logos01 | dell: GRUB itself is loading yes. But it fails to mount my NFS mount and when I try to either skip or manually mount it hangs indefinitely at that point. | 03:14 |
| hanasaki | works fine.. just runs full throttle all the time | 03:15 |
| Logos01 | dell: Only response is to perform ctrl+alt+delete to reboot, and this behavior is the same for both boot options. | 03:15 |
| hecsa | mylezzz: do you own a broadcom network card? | 03:15 |
| === edge is now known as Guest90406 | ||
| dell | Logos01: did you mean NFS or NTFS? | 03:15 |
| Logos01 | NFS | 03:15 |
| mylezzz | hecsa: Yes | 03:15 |
| hecsa | ops... | 03:15 |
| Logos01 | I have a local mirror of the Ubuntu repository and all of my local net machines mount it at boot time. | 03:15 |
| Logos01 | (as NFS share) | 03:16 |
| hecsa | mylezzz: check (or paste there, in paste.ubuntu.com) the /var/lib/dkms/bcmwl/6.20.155.1+bdcom/build/make.log file, please, to check what is wrong there | 03:16 |
| hecsa | mylezzz: that and /var/lib/dkms/nvidia-experimental-304/304.48/build/make.log | 03:17 |
| dell | Logos01: If they are not the installation mounting just escapes with error. That should be no problem | 03:17 |
| Logos01 | That is correct insofar as how the normal behavior ought to be. | 03:18 |
| Logos01 | Unfortunately ... it's not the behavior I'm observing. | 03:18 |
| mylezzz | hecsa: Will do now thanks, before I do, if its of any relevance I am using bumblebee as I have Nvidia Optimus graphics. Does this matter? | 03:18 |
| Logos01 | And either way -- the "S to skip or M for manual recovery" -- if I press "M" it *ought* to get me into a recovery shell but it's just hanging. | 03:18 |
| hecsa | mylezzz: maybe...you can check some sort of message in the second log I pointed out | 03:19 |
| Logos01 | Thing is ... it shouldn't even get to the point of doing network shares in recovery mode. | 03:19 |
| Logos01 | And it shouldn't be attempting to launch all normal services -- such as squid-deb-proxy -- but it's doing just that. | 03:19 |
| mylezzz | hecsa: nvidia-experimental-310 is also referenced in the original paste, do I need to get that one as well? | 03:20 |
| hecsa | mylezzz: give me some minutes...my wife claims her husband :D | 03:20 |
| dell | Logos01: Here is my configuration of grub2 configuration file. May be you can tweak your grub.cfg file using this. (http://paste.ubuntu.com/5639003/) | 03:20 |
| mylezzz | hecsa: haha no problem | 03:20 |
| Logos01 | dell: I'd have to get into it via LiveCD for that. | 03:20 |
| dell | Logos01: Yes, boot usign LiveCD, mount ubuntu drive and edit your grub.cfg file. Leave other menuentry even with error. Add a new one. with these settings and reboot | 03:21 |
| Logos01 | dell: Also, that's a "normal"/"standard" GRUB config entry (normal boot that is) -- not much help to me here. | 03:21 |
| Logos01 | dell: That would produce the same behavior as it's functionally no different from a normal boot. | 03:22 |
| dell | Logos01: When you select ubuntu from grub, what message it gives? | 03:22 |
| Logos01 | Something about my OS environment when booting into the normal/full env is borked and I need to get into single-user mode to fix it; this is problematic given Canonical's infinitely wise decision to strip out single-user mode from the kernel. | 03:22 |
| hanasaki | cpufreq-set -g ondemand -c 0 -d 800Mhz -u 3500Mhz | 03:23 |
| Logos01 | dell: It begins the boot, going through the dmesg statements through to loading services. | 03:23 |
| dr_willis | hmm... init=/bin/bash is single user mode basically isent it? | 03:23 |
| Logos01 | And then it hangs at the point I described. | 03:23 |
| hanasaki | dell that did it... but... there is not easy way to config it on startup | 03:23 |
| Logos01 | dr_willis: You'd think. | 03:23 |
| dr_willis | actually we had a discussion avbout single user mode vs text mode yesterday | 03:23 |
| Logos01 | But unfortunately when I tried that it gave me errors related to it being an inappropriate ioctl for the device. | 03:23 |
| Logos01 | In RHEL-verse, runlevel 1 vs 3 & 5 yeah. | 03:24 |
| Logos01 | There are significant differences. | 03:24 |
| dell | hanasaki: Put it in /etc/rc.local file before exit 0 | 03:24 |
| dr_willis | that sounds like some hardware quirk. ive definatly seen people use that init=/bin/bash trick befor | 03:24 |
| Logos01 | Yeah, I know. | 03:24 |
| Logos01 | Thing is, I know the files are intact. | 03:24 |
| hanasaki | dell good point.. what's up though.. it used to just work | 03:24 |
| Logos01 | hanasaki: Other option is to make an upstart job and specify the runlevels but .. eh. | 03:25 |
| hanasaki | Logos01: what changed in ubuntu that it worked out of the box before and now.. :( | 03:25 |
| mylezzz | hecsa: thanks again: http://paste.ubuntu.com/5639014/ | 03:25 |
| Logos01 | hanasaki: I am not informed enough to provide you with an answer to that question. | 03:26 |
| Logos01 | Sorry. | 03:26 |
| mylezzz | Kow: are you still about? | 03:26 |
| dell | Logos01: Currently, are you logged in from a dual boot on same computer, or are you using another another computer to login and this chat | 03:27 |
| dell | hanasaki: I don't know, but it used to work for me too. | 03:27 |
| Logos01 | dell: I'm talking to you from a different machine. | 03:28 |
| Logos01 | The non-booting machine is single-OS | 03:28 |
| hanasaki | dell when did it stop working for you ? | 03:29 |
| Albet | ... | 03:29 |
| dell | hanasaki: Actually it has always been so for newer computers. I had no such problem in older one. | 03:29 |
| hanasaki | mine is 4 years old | 03:30 |
| dell | Logos01: How do you mount the NFS drives, do you use fstab? I don't know much about NFS | 03:31 |
| Logos01 | fstab, yes | 03:31 |
| dell | Logos01: Boot using liveusb, remove those entries and see if it boots. After you are logged in you can see why your NFS drives are having input output error | 03:32 |
| Logos01 | dell: I highly, strongly doubt that's the source of the problem. | 03:33 |
| dell | Logos01: Yes boot does not depend on NFS, that means your disks are telling some bad story. Because ioctl error does not suggest any other thing. | 03:34 |
| dell | Logos01: May be you could try fsck using the livedisk | 03:36 |
| safecancel | is there a way to restrict the maximum size of all windows when maximised (globally). i.e. when any window is maximised, it is actually not, in effect creating a padded area of visible desktop space around it. "window padding" .. dconf ... somthingsuch? cluck? CLUCK? | 03:36 |

| CorruptedHelix | Hi. I used UNetBootin to install Ubuntu 12.10 onto my USB drive. Attempting to go into the BIOS and boot from USB brings up an error on the screen stating that no operating system is installed, and to press Ctrl+Alt+Del to exit. Windows 8 loads up just fine, though, it's only the USB stick. Note that this computer came with Windows 7, I just did a full format and installed Win8. | 03:38 |
| CorruptedHelix | I don't know why it's not working, however, I have tried both 32bit and 64bit revisions (my machine is 64bit). This method has worked when I was on Windows 7. | 03:39 |
| CorruptedHelix | How would I fix this issue? | 03:40 |
| Nach0z | CorruptedHelix: might use gparted to check that the hard drive has a boot partition set | 03:40 |
| CorruptedHelix | Nach0z: I have no problem booting into my C: drive | 03:41 |
| CorruptedHelix | And I'm currently running windows 8 | 03:41 |
| CorruptedHelix | The problem is, I can't even boot into ubuntu via a usb stick | 03:41 |
| Nach0z | oh gotcha | 03:41 |
| CorruptedHelix | to try it out | 03:41 |
| Nach0z | misread. | 03:41 |
| Nach0z | um, unetbootin has never worked for me, try Lili | 03:41 |
| CorruptedHelix | Will do... | 03:41 |
| dell | CorruptedHelix: Yes it should have boot flag on. You could try fdisk /dev/sdb (If that is your flash drive) and use a to mark the flag and w to write and exit | 03:41 |
| mylezzz | hecsa: let me know when your back, thanks again | 03:42 |
| CorruptedHelix | dell: No access to Ubuntu, the drive works because it's how I installed Ubuntu 12.04 before this, and Windows 8 before this | 03:42 |
| CorruptedHelix | there's no reason for it not work now | 03:42 |
| Logos01 | Hrm... just got into busybox prompt -- initramfs ... we'll see what I can do from here. | 03:42 |
| dell | CorruptedHelix: Then use different software. E.g YUMI-0.0.8.3-usbcreator.exe | 03:42 |
| mlt- | Is it normal that after one of the recent updates for 13.04 I see a black colored menu in terminal emulator, emacs, etc instead of a solid grey of GreyBird? | 03:43 |
| CorruptedHelix | I was just told to use Lili :p | 03:43 |
| dell | Logos01: Yes, at least that was a good start | 03:43 |
| CorruptedHelix | I'll install YUMI and try to install from there. If it still fails, you'll know by the fact that I'll be back :) | 03:44 |
| seednode | They always come back | 03:45 |

| goldbug | hi | 03:45 |
| goldbug | so i am just trying out ubuntu for the first time and i am having a bit of difficulty | 03:46 |
| seednode | Alright | 03:46 |
| seednode | What difficulty in particular? | 03:46 |
| Coded1 | does sshfs keep it's keys in a different location then ssh? I'm able to login with out a password via ssh but I added the mount option to fstab and it asks for a password. Anyone experienced the same issue? | 03:46 |
| goldbug | at first once you logged into it it would not display any desktop | 03:46 |
| goldbug | well i swapped graphics cards to an old one and it worked long enough for me to install the latest nvidia driver | 03:47 |
| goldbug | so i can get my main card working | 03:47 |
| goldbug | and it did | 03:47 |
| goldbug | so now next problem | 03:47 |
| goldbug | my taskbar is off the screeen | 03:47 |
| goldbug | and I have no idea how to get it visible so i can actually interact with it | 03:47 |
| goldbug | I am running a nvidia quarto | 03:48 |
| goldbug | which says it is supported | 03:48 |
| holstein | what says what? | 03:48 |
| holstein | !ati | goldbug is what i always refer to | 03:48 |
| ubottu | goldbug is what i always refer to: For Ati/NVidia/Matrox video cards, see https://help.ubuntu.com/community/VideoDriverHowto | 03:48 |
| holstein | goldbug: do you have a setting on the physical monitor? sometimes you just have to fiddle around with it a bit | 03:49 |
| cronus | Coded1, i never used sshfs in fstab, but more likely since mounting is done by root and ssh is using the keys stored in the home folder, you should try make ssh work as root without a password | 03:49 |
| Coded1 | cronus: ahh that make sense | 03:50 |
| Coded1 | cronus: thanks | 03:50 |
| cronus | Coded1, hope it helps. | 03:50 |

| dakotawulfy | hi | 04:11 |
| dakotawulfy | when u type sensors and u get the out put is the temp 1 temp 2 and temp 3 the same on all computers as far as what they are | 04:12 |
| Logos01 | dell: I have no explanation for how this is even feasible but ... it was squid-deb-proxy. | 04:12 |
| dell | Logos01: Wow, how could it effect the boot | 04:13 |
| Logos01 | "I have no explanation for how this is even feasible" <-- I did it on the basis of that's where it was hanging each time. | 04:13 |
| alpharender | Hi | 04:13 |
| Logos01 | Here's the kicker though -- I never did get into recovery mode. | 04:13 |
| ovrflw0x | after booting ends - i don't land at login prompt - instead i see "Reached target multiuser".. that's it then i've to switch to tty2 manually to see login prompt! | 04:13 |
| alpharender | How can I add launcher in applications? | 04:14 |
| dell | Logos01: Now can you reboot without problem? | 04:14 |
| Logos01 | Just did. Gonna try uncommenting nfs entry and see if it really was just squid-deb-proxy | 04:15 |
| dell | Logos01: You should definitely see how that program can affect the boot. | 04:15 |
| woo | is localhost most of the time going to be 127.0.0.1? | 04:15 |
| sonOfRa | yes | 04:16 |
| thesadmafioso | I want to set up NFS on my local network, should I be installing "nfs-common" from the repositories? | 04:17 |
| sonOfRa | woo, but if you're using mysql, 127.0.0.1 is different from localhost. | 04:18 |
| ovrflw0x | after booting ends - i don't land at login prompt - instead i see "Reached target multiuser".. that's it then i've to switch to tty2 manually to see login prompt! | 04:18 |
| Logos01 | dell: I have a lot of nested filesystems. | 04:18 |
| Logos01 | Pretty sure I know what's going on here actually. | 04:19 |
| woo | sonOfRa: im not quite to mysql yet. working on apache2 | 04:19 |
| Logos01 | Filesystems for /var/log and /var/cache/apt wouldn't mount because squid-deb-proxy was trying to create directories there. | 04:19 |
| sonOfRa | at that point, localhost will be 127.0.0.1, yes. technically, any address in the 127.0.0.0/8 block can be used as a loopback though | 04:20 |
| dell | Logos01: I don't know much about squid-deb-proxy. It seems people have lots of error with it lately. http://ubuntu.distrosfaqs.org/ubuntu-users/squid-deb-proxy-problem-on-raring-ipv6-i-think/ | 04:21 |
| Logos01 | dell: Yeah, it doesn't really even get me anything since I already maintain said NFS-based local mirror of Ubuntu | 04:22 |
| Logos01 | (Ubuntu 12.04, 12.10, amd64 i386, main, universe,multivers,restricted security-updates... a number of PPAs... and debian stable/testing/experimental main contrib non-free ... and CentOS 5/6 all ++ EPEL ...) | 04:23 |
| Logos01 | I may or may not be a tad overzealous with this. | 04:23 |
| ovrflw0x | after booting ends - i don't land at login prompt - instead i see "Reached target multiuser".. that's it then i've to switch to tty2 manually to see login prompt! | 04:24 |

| chunkyhead | just check out this video: explains it all: https://www.youtube.com/watch?feature=player_embedded&v=8SkdfdXWYaI#at=942 | 04:27 |
| Logos01 | I'm also torrent-seeding about 80GB's worth of distro ISOs. | 04:27 |
| dell | Logos01: Is it public mirror or your private | 04:27 |
| Logos01 | private | 04:28 |
| * Logos01 is a dirty filthy leecher of repo | 04:28 | |
| Logos01 | This is my home network. | 04:28 |
| Logos01 | If I were on something that seeding wouldn't kill my bandwidth / violate my TOS I'd be willing to host public. | 04:29 |
| dell | Logos01: Why, in my case my country's public mirror works fine. | 04:29 |
| Logos01 | When you install packages via NFS mount you skip the download phase and go straight to configuration. | 04:29 |
| Logos01 | Plus I have gigabit LAN so there's that. | 04:30 |
| dell | Logos01: How many computers do you use | 04:30 |
| Logos01 | I have my soon-to-be router, my personal laptop, my mediaPC, my NAS, and my hypervisor -- those are all the physicals. | 04:30 |
| Logos01 | I currently have 12 CentOS images running on the hypervisor, and plan on a similar number of Debian and possibly two or three Ubuntu machines. | 04:30 |
| Logos01 | So ... all told probably about 30 OS instances. | 04:31 |
| dell | Logos01: Are those installations for client? | 04:31 |
| Logos01 | Nope, just for me. | 04:31 |
| dell | Logos01: Why? 12 centos images. What is the difference? | 04:31 |

| Logos01 | Either test or performing some other job. | 04:32 |
| dell | Logos01: I understand | 04:32 |
| mehwork | how come when i do 'sudo useradd foo' it doesn't create /home/foo, but if i type 'sudo useradd foo' again it says that 'user foo already exists'? | 04:32 |
| Logos01 | For example I have a spacewalk server, a postgres server, an ldap server, a git server... | 04:33 |
| dr_willis | mehwork: use adduser. not useradd | 04:33 |
| Logos01 | a couple of rpmbuild servers (for 5 and 6 -- the process is different) | 04:33 |
| ovrflw0x | after booting ends - i don't land at login prompt - instead i see "Reached target multiuser".. that's it then i've to switch to tty2 manually to see login prompt! | 04:33 |
| dell | Logos01: Dizzy | 04:33 |
| Logos01 | And two each of 5/6 i386/x86_64 purely for test purposes. | 04:33 |
| dr_willis | mehwork: because it is adding the user.. you are not givng all the options needed for it to make the home and other things | 04:33 |
| Logos01 | (Two each because that way I can test clustered functionality) | 04:33 |
| dell | Logos01: Hadoop? | 04:34 |
| Logos01 | Eventually I'll also have a mantis/bug-tracker server and probably set up SOGO (groupware -- think shared calendar) | 04:34 |
| mehwork | ok thanks | 04:34 |
| Logos01 | Hadoop is one example of something that's clustered, sure. | 04:34 |
| dell | Logos01: mantis does not take that much space | 04:34 |
| Logos01 | Not at all. :) | 04:34 |
| mehwork | dr_willis: man useradd says it creates a new user. Confusing | 04:34 |
| Logos01 | But it gets its own dedicated OS instance. | 04:34 |
| dr_willis | mehwork: it DOES create a new user.. you need to tell it other options IF you want to make a home direcgory for that user | 04:35 |
| === some1 is now known as Guest18039 | ||
| dell | Logos01: You could be running all apache (what ever), mantis in same. But testing as if it were individual sure might be help. Don't know about that | 04:35 |
| dr_willis | mehwork: useradd has totally differnt defaults then adduser does | 04:35 |
| Logos01 | dell: I don't have a separate Apache server for anything right now. | 04:36 |
| dr_willis | mehwork: i suggest you never use useradd. but use adduser instead | 04:36 |
| Logos01 | Mantis OS instance wuold likely cohost mantis and its apache/nginx (whichever) | 04:36 |
| mehwork | ok | 04:36 |
| dell | Logos01: Never used engine X | 04:36 |
| Logos01 | Yeah. | 04:37 |
| dell | Logos01: Is it faster than apache? | 04:37 |
| dell | Logos01: Default | 04:37 |
| mehwork | the alternative download page for ubuntu just shows i386, but not if it's 32-bit or 64-bit. Any idea why? | 04:37 |
| dr_willis | 386 would be 32bit | 04:38 |
| dell | mehwork: 32 bit | 04:38 |
| mehwork | like the page for torrent downloads | 04:38 |
| thesadmafioso | i386 implies that it would be 32-bit | 04:38 |
| dr_willis | amd64 = 64bit | 04:38 |
| Logos01 | dell: I've not used it myself but it's designed exclusively to handle static content. | 04:38 |
| mehwork | dr_willis: intell doesn't make 64bit? | 04:38 |
| Logos01 | dell: So it's very optimized for that purpose, and is considered much faster for static content machines. | 04:38 |
| mehwork | i'm so confused | 04:38 |
| dr_willis | mehwork: they licensed the stuff from AMD.. so amd had it first | 04:38 |
| dell | Logos01: Should definitely try in some of my future work | 04:38 |
| mehwork | dr_willis: so if i wanted to install 64-bit linux on an intel machine, i need the amd version? | 04:39 |
| dr_willis | AMD64 bit extensions are made by amd. and licensed by intel | 04:39 |
| dr_willis | mehwork: yes.. | 04:39 |
| mehwork | wow, learn something new every day | 04:39 |
| dr_willis | its called AMD64 because AMD had it first | 04:39 |
| dr_willis | basically. ;) | 04:39 |
| dr_willis | some disrtos use other names for their 64bit stuff | 04:39 |
| thesadmafioso | Isn't the intel 64-bit stuff usually just "i686" | 04:39 |
| mehwork | i don't get how someone can own the idea of 64-bit | 04:39 |
| dell | Logos01: Bye, my gaming time | 04:39 |
| Logos01 | :D | 04:40 |
| dr_willis | mehwork: amd created '64bit extensions' for the 32bit chipset.. i guess... they coded in teh 64bit stuff | 04:40 |
| dr_willis | we never said they own the idea of 64bit... | 04:40 |
| mehwork | sounds like intel really dropped the ball on that one | 04:40 |
| mehwork | anyway, thanks | 04:40 |
| dr_willis | intel has (had?) their own very differnt 64bit cpu but it was not backwards comaptiable | 04:41 |
| dr_willis | time to hit up the wiki pages :) if you want details | 04:41 |
| quick- | Hi , how can i get a code fpr the ps process ? | 04:41 |
| dr_willis | !source | 04:41 |
| ubottu | You can easily fetch a package's source with apt-get. See: http://www.debian.org/doc/manuals/apt-howto/ch-sourcehandling.en.html | 04:41 |
| dr_willis | find what package its in.. get the source package | 04:41 |
| dr_willis | !find /bin/ps | 04:42 |
| ubottu | File /bin/ps found in a2ps, blimps-utils, cd-hit, console-tools, context, emboss, ghostscript, gmt, gnutls-bin, grass-core (and 64 others) http://packages.ubuntu.com/search?searchon=contents&keywords=/bin/ps&mode=&suite=quantal&arch=any | 04:42 |
| quick- | dr_willis: it comes as the generally in all *nix systems. | 04:43 |
| quick- | dr_willis: Thanks :) | 04:43 |
| dr_willis | quick-: yes.. but its supplied by one of the packages... such as 'console-tools' or 'gnutls-bin' | 04:43 |
| dr_willis | since itss a fairly standard command. it most likely comes with the other core cli commands | 04:43 |
| thesadmafioso | So, I am reading up on NFS and RPC . . . it's my understanding that RPC is the protocol that allows for execution of commands on other network machines? | 04:44 |
| quick- | dr_willis: Yea , i got it :) | 04:45 |
| quick- | dr_willis: If i may ask how can i log each program used by the user .I dont wanna use acct or auditctl | 04:47 |
| dr_willis | perhaps rbash has that feature (its a bash shell alterantive/feature of bash) | 04:47 |
| dr_willis | ive never needed to log my users. :) its just me and the dog.. | 04:48 |
| quick- | dr_willis: Ha ha :D .Well, Thanks for the answer> Is there any dev channel for ubuntu or *nix ? | 04:49 |

| ikillcypher | Hello Guys | 06:05 |
| maestrojed | I upgraded from Ubuntu10 to Unbuntu12.04 and now my sound card isn't fully working. I guess I have to reinstall the OS if I want to roll back to Ubuntu11 or Ubuntu10? No such thing as a downgrade, right? | 06:06 |
| ikillcypher | I was wondering if anyone here know of a very serious bug :( installing ATI on my Ubuntu has render my unity and everything useless it is all gone and the graphics are in low Im using 12.10 x64 Bit this bug seems to be affecting not only Ubuntu but Linux Mint as well Im hoping some developers here can help me out in my issue.. thanks. | 06:07 |
| dr_willis | maestrojed: its also possible a clean instggall of 12.04 may work | 06:08 |
| maestrojed | dr_willis Cool I will try that first | 06:08 |
| dr_willis | ikillcypher: i see variants off that issue in here all the time.. or unity only partially starts up. - you get the desktop, wallpaper, cursor and some features but the main panels dont work. | 06:09 |
| dr_willis | ikillcypher: seen it happpen to ati. nvidia, and intel users in here | 06:09 |
| ikillcypher | ok so will it be fixed? | 06:09 |
| ikillcypher | in 13.04 ? | 06:10 |
| dr_willis | im not even sure theres a 'single' cause of the issue | 06:10 |
| ikillcypher | what is causing this?? | 06:10 |
| dr_willis | if your login screen looks correct try making a new user and see if it works for them | 06:10 |
| ikillcypher | it is wrong :( | 06:10 |
| ikillcypher | it is in low graphics | 06:10 |
| dr_willis | that points to a driver issue. you tried running the ati config tool and setting a res in the xorg.conf file? | 06:11 |
| ikillcypher | how do I go back to OSS ? | 06:11 |
| dr_willis | remove the other driver. | 06:12 |
| ikillcypher | cause I hear it works much better | 06:12 |
| ikillcypher | Im facing this btw | 06:12 |
| ikillcypher | http://ubuntuforums.org/showthread.php?t=2073198 | 06:12 |
| dr_willis | but ive seen people in here that cant seem to remove it. or it still goofs up. perhaps due to a bad xorg.conf file | 06:12 |
| ikillcypher | ok so what should I do? | 06:12 |
| ikillcypher | reinstall Ubuntu ?! | 06:12 |
| Ben64 | i would just ... not use unity | 06:13 |
| dr_willis | if you want to go back to the opwn sourced drivers. uninstall the fglrx drivers | 06:13 |
| dr_willis | hes having issues at the login screen.. so it may not be a unity issue. | 06:13 |
| dr_willis | you could try a differnt desktop like lubuntu and see if it lets you set the proper res. | 06:13 |
| ikillcypher | my whole ubuntu is kinda f up :( | 06:13 |
| dr_willis | running that ati confoig tool might let you set the res via the xorg.conf file | 06:13 |
| Ben64 | unfortunately i don't know much about ati | 06:14 |

What's going on? The filesystem is not corrupted, I'm sure of that. | 06:14 |
| ikillcypher | Ben64, it is a bug ! | 06:14 |
| dr_willis | ikillcypher: so... install lubuntu-desktop. try the ati config tool.... | 06:14 |

| ikillcypher | and I will be depress if isnt fix on 13.04 | 06:19 |
| ikillcypher | dr | 06:19 |
| dr_willis | so far ive not seen you mention anything you have done to try to 'fix' the issue. | 06:19 |
| stiltzkin | The problem is that the required filesystem check before the resize fails, i.e. it indicates that my partition is corrupt or non-existent, when that is not the case (two day old install on a brand-new SSD) | 06:19 |

| dr_willis | you can.. but why HerbertWest | 07:47 |
| HerbertWest | mmm thinking.. u r right better dont | 07:48 |

| HerbertWest | omg *good | 07:49 |
| dr_willis | i tend to use lubuntu | 07:50 |
| HerbertWest | lubuntu? | 07:50 |
| dr_willis | !lubuntu | 07:50 |
| ubottu | lubuntu is Ubuntu with LXDE instead of !GNOME as desktop environment, which makes it extremely lightweight. See https://wiki.ubuntu.com/Lubuntu - /join #lubuntu for lubuntu support. | 07:50 |
| HerbertWest | ohh I see it | 07:50 |
| contrapunctus | Anyone for my query? o.o | 07:51 |
| contrapunctus | !python | 07:51 |
| ubottu | python is a popular Object Oriented scripting language included in Ubuntu. For more on Python please see http://www.python.org/ or #python | 07:51 |
| contrapunctus | A-ha. | 07:51 |

| panorain | hi | 08:08 |
| EnriqueMoreno | dr_willis, could you please walk me through it? | 08:08 |
| dr_willis | EnriqueMoreno: not really. I rarely use jackd. and im not on a ubuntu box agt the moment | 08:08 |
| dr_willis | check askubuntu.com perhaps | 08:08 |
| dr_willis | you might not have to use jackd | 08:09 |
| EnriqueMoreno | dr_willis, I tries askubuntu already. The question gets ignored always | 08:09 |
| dr_willis | you did Search first? | 08:09 |
| EnriqueMoreno | I tried to use alsamixer, but "line-in" doesnt appear in the list | 08:09 |

| peawormsworth | ntzrmtthihu777: I think the first 'if' condition is comparing string to integer. | 08:35 |
| ntzrmtthihu777 | peawormsworth: well mother of perl! I did not replace it on the second part of the script, $size should be the stat thingus in the first if | 08:35 |
| peawormsworth | ntzrmtthihu777: but still... Im getting all "Large" response... no matter wat the file size. so i dont think the comparison is working. | 08:36 |

| ikillcypher | guys how do I install windows from ubuntu :( using USB ? | 08:46 |
| ntzrmtthihu777 | *ifs ands or buts | 08:46 |
| dr_willis | ikillcypher: you might want to ask in #windows on how to make a bootable usb from a windows iso file. win8 i think you can image to usb.. not sure about win7 there may be tools at the pendrivelinux site that can do it | 08:47 |
| ntzrmtthihu777 | ikillcypher: there is a tool to write a win iso to usb, not sure of the name. likely a cd/dvd would be a better idea, and in that case brasero (for a gui) or dd (for command line) is a good choice. | 08:47 |
| ikillcypher | thanks | 08:47 |
| dr_willis | i imagine the lifehacker site has some guides on the topic also | 08:47 |
| ntzrmtthihu777 | ikillcypher: in fact you may be able to dd the iso directly to the usb drive... read something to that effect once... | 08:47 |
| ikillcypher | Im on Ubuntu :( | 08:48 |
| dr_willis | so? | 08:48 |
| ntzrmtthihu777 | ikillcypher: what you trying to install windows for, exactly? | 08:48 |
| dr_willis | the #windows guys are more likely to know the tricks to installing windows then we are. | 08:49 |
| Shutterstrom | Hi, If I have minidlna installed using "apt-get install minidlna", and then try to install an upgraded version of minidlna using "make install". Where is my manuall installation of Minidlna installed then? Does it replace the existing installation? | 08:49 |
| ntzrmtthihu777 | !patience | Shutterstrom | 08:49 |
| ubottu | Shutterstrom: Don't feel ignored and repeat your question quickly; if nobody knows your answer, nobody will answer you. While you wait, try searching https://help.ubuntu.com/ or http://ubuntuforums.org/ or http://askubuntu.com/ | 08:49 |
| dr_willis | Shutterstrom: it depends on where the compuling tells it to go.. normally the ./configure part of the compile can have options to tell it where to install to | 08:50 |
| auronandace | !checkinstall | Shutterstrom | 08:50 |
| ubottu | Shutterstrom: 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! | 08:50 |
| dr_willis | best would be to find a PPA for the minidlna server | 08:50 |
| dr_willis | then source+checkinstall | 08:50 |
| * ntzrmtthihu777 makes note of checkinstall for future source compilation... | 08:51 | |
| ikillcypher | ntzrmtthihu777, Im trying to install windows on my harddisk | 08:51 |

| auronandace | ikillcypher: you could always put windows in a vm | 08:53 |
| dr_willis | most pcs these days have windows cds or some sort of recovery method... unless you deleted your windows recovery partitions. | 08:53 |

| ntzrmtthihu777 | ikillcypher: dunno, did you do anything unusual? | 08:57 |
| ikillcypher | no ! | 08:57 |
| dr_willis | the graphical 'consoles' can use the framebuffer, or nonframebufer displays you-tee-f - if you want to use differnt res's you would wan tto use the fremabuffer method and perhaps tweak things with fbset, or grub options | 08:57 |

| you-tee-f | dr_willis: can you lead me more, that thing is really haunting my nights | 08:57 |

| ntzrmtthihu777 | killall apt-get, methinks. this is why I never use software center; either apt-get or synaptic for me | 08:58 |
| you-tee-f | dr_willis: i'm on ubuntu | 08:58 |
| dr_willis | you-tee-f: fbset ccommand may help. I tend to disable the framebuffer.. and search askubuntu.com | 08:58 |

| you-tee-f | i will see what i can do | 08:58 |

| dr_willis | http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Zombie_process | 09:01 |
| dr_willis | In the term's metaphor, the child process has "died" but has not yet been "reaped". Also, unlike normal processes, the kill command has no effect on a zombie process. | 09:02 |

| ntzrmtthihu777 | !clone | starkiller | 09:05 |
| ubottu | starkiller: To replicate your packages selection on another machine (or restore it if re-installing), you can type Ā« aptitude --display-format '%p' search '?installed!?automatic' > ~/my-packages Ā», move the file "my-packages" to the other machine, and there type Ā« sudo xargs aptitude --schedule-only install < my-packages ; sudo aptitude install Ā» (this may cause problems with multiarch before 12.10) - See also !automate | 09:05 |

| ikillcypher | Im getting something to run chkdsk in windows | 09:31 |
| ntzrmtthihu777 | ikillcypher: and it should be a simple as opening it in your file browser. | 09:31 |
| ikillcypher | but I dont have windows and Im on Ubuntu | 09:31 |
| ntzrmtthihu777 | ikillcypher: again, why you need windows? you said C#, details? | 09:31 |
| ikonia | ikillcypher: that's normally down to an unclean removal from windows | 09:31 |
| ikillcypher | ntzrmtthihu777, I need it for alot of reasons | 09:32 |
| ikonia | ikillcypher: the best way to resolve it, its to boot into windows, run chkdisk - and return to ubuntu with a clean disk | 09:32 |
| ntzrmtthihu777 | ikonia: he has no windows machine to use. | 09:32 |
| ikonia | ikillcypher: there are other options but that is the most "official" response | 09:32 |
| ikonia | then you need to use one of the less official tricks to mark the disk as clean | 09:33 |
| ikonia | being aware of the risks they can have | 09:33 |

| bekks | emor: Dont expect anyone in here to know a specific windows application. | 09:48 |
| Seveas | what does proxifire do? | 09:48 |
| emor | seveas: its set proxy with https protocol and set it to all applications.. with user and passwor | 09:49 |
| Seveas | emor: that'd be a good thing to have, but there is no such thing yet and there probably won't be: application developers are instead encouraged to use the proxy settings as set by the gnome tools or in the environment. | 09:51 |

| Kurza | Hello, I'm trying to install Ubuntu 10.04 LTS on an old machine via wubi, but I'm stuck as it says that I need 256MB ram (I have 223 or sth). I don't need GUI (I'll use it for a server), can I just skip the message and install it? And if no, is there any small edition of wubi that's going to install the server version? | 11:37 |
| cfhowlett | Kurza, on it's BEST day, wubi is a testing platform to see if you like Ubuntu. If you don't meet the minimum requirements, expect unforeseen consequences | 11:39 |

| mattho2 | is there any better screen manager for xubuntu 12.10? | 12:08 |
| tMH- | hello *. ppl, I was needed to resize /dev/sda1 on vmware, added free space, removed swap, then reallocated space and then created swap again. now I see that the original disk (which wasn't touched for backup reasons) have not the same structure as my new disk. | 12:08 |
| tMH- | backup disk have /dev/sda1 ext4, /dev/sda2 extended and /dev/sda5 swap on it. | 12:09 |
| tMH- | my new disk now have /dev/sdb1 with ext4 and /dev/sdb2 with swap | 12:09 |
| tMH- | is it ok? | 12:09 |
| tMH- | (when backup disk is only one installed on system it has /dev/sda scheme naming, of course) | 12:10 |

| pyrobisqit | jr-windows, fake fullscreen by maximizing the window so that it fits the screen entirely | 12:35 |
| jrtappers | pyrobisqit, It still has the top bar, but looks good | 12:38 |
| pyrobisqit | jrtappers, depending on your current WM, you might be able to remove the window frames altogether | 12:39 |

| NotSoSimple_ | hello | 13:07 |
| ubukou | anyone using dual screen setup here? im having trouble keep flash players full screen when it is not on focus | 13:08 |
| ubukou | i mean | 13:08 |
| xcvt01 | hello friend how are you | 13:08 |
| ubukou | when i change the window focus it gets back to window mode | 13:08 |
| ubukou | good xcvt01 thanks | 13:09 |
| Seveas | ubukou: you mean full screen youtube and the likes? Yeah, that's a "feature" of youtube, not an Ubuntu bug. | 13:09 |
| NotSoSimple_ | hello xcv, I am new to ubuntu | 13:09 |
| ubukou | yea.. youtube and the works Seveas | 13:09 |
| ubukou | Seveas, so there is not a fix?? | 13:09 |
| Seveas | ubukou: none that I know of. Of course I do not know everything :) | 13:10 |
| ubukou | Seveas, no one does mate dont take it hardly.. | 13:10 |
| NotSoSimple_ | how can I escape of messages of who joined chanel and who leaved? | 13:11 |
| ubukou | anyone else? any insights? | 13:11 |
| pmitros | Did Ubuntu have any updates in the past couple of months which may have regenerated ssh host keys? | 13:11 |
| NotSoSimple_ | it makes hard to follow the discussion | 13:11 |
| jrib | ubukou: here's the windows fix: http://lifehacker.com/5419028/keep-flash-videos-in-full-screen-on-dual-monitors now just figure out what they do and do the same in ubuntu? | 13:11 |
| ubukou | vlc is able to stay on full screen.. windows seems to be able to hold fullscreen | 13:11 |
| Seveas | NotSoSimple_: xchat? | 13:11 |
| pmitros | I'm seeing a funny ssh error message ("Someone could be eavesdropping on you right now (man-in-the-middle attack)!") about host key changes. | 13:11 |
| ikonia | ubukou: vlc is not flash | 13:12 |
| ubukou | jrib, windows seems to do well | 13:12 |
| jrib | ubukou: more info: http://lifehacker.com/5560912/keep-flash-101-in-full-screen-on-a-second-monitor this is probably mostly useless to you but might give you a starting point | 13:12 |
| ikonia | pmitros: it's normally a reverse dns lookup problem | 13:12 |
| NotSoSimple_ | I am in windows XP now | 13:12 |
| ubukou | jrib, ill try and make it work | 13:12 |
| ubukou | jrib, thanks | 13:12 |
| Seveas | NotSoSimple_: oh, you're using the webchat. I don't think it has an option to ignore those | 13:13 |
| NotSoSimple_ | ok, than I will try to focus | 13:13 |
| NotSoSimple_ | 1st time in ubuntu chat | 13:13 |
| NotSoSimple_ | I installed ubuntu 10.4 | 13:13 |
| jrib | ubukou: likely more relevant: http://www.webupd8.org/2012/10/ubuntu-multi-monitor-tweaks-full-screen.html | 13:13 |
| pmitros | ikonia: In this case, it says host key has changed (rather than non-existent). Accessing the machine via HTTP shows the right machine. | 13:13 |
| ikonia | pmitros: ok - so has the host key changed ? | 13:14 |
| NotSoSimple_ | and can't log in to internet; very frustrating:D | 13:14 |
| pmitros | ikonia: Not that I'm aware of -- unless an apt-get update/upgrade did it, it should not have changed. | 13:14 |
| Seveas | NotSoSimple_: 10.04 is almost three years old. Please try a newer version, such as 12.10 | 13:15 |
| ikonia | pmitros: either a.) the host key has changed b.) someone has a man in the middle box acting as an explot. Which seems more likely ? | 13:15 |
| NotSoSimple_ | I made the "sudo pppoeconf" but still not connect | 13:15 |
| pmitros | ikonia: That's exactly what I'm trying to figure out. | 13:15 |
| Seveas | pmitros: was the machine reinstalled by any chance? | 13:15 |
| Seveas | Or was the hostname moved to a different machine? | 13:15 |
| ikonia | pmitros: so checking the host keys time stamps....seems a good idea | 13:15 |
| BluesKaj | Hey all | 13:15 |
| pmitros | ikonia: I did not run any ssh key-gens or similar myself. I did do many updates/upgrades | 13:16 |
| Seveas | hello BluesKaj | 13:16 |
| pmitros | Seveas: Machine is same as it was for years, again, with the exception of updates/upgrades. | 13:16 |
| ikonia | pmitros: they can auto generate depending on your setup | 13:16 |
| BluesKaj | hi Seveas | 13:16 |
| onixx | hello all, I have a question in regards to live CD persistence. I currently have pxe netboot over nfs working. I'd like to "save my changes" to a local casper-rw file. I have added persistent in my append line on the pxe server config but without success | 13:16 |
| uvala | being a long-time claws-mail user, something new happened when I reinstalled it; now while sending a message it fails with this error message; http://troll.ws/image/ef00301c | 13:16 |
| ikonia | pmitros: checking the time stamps on the host keys may give you confidence | 13:16 |
| Seveas | ikonia: no, ssh keys don't auto-regenerate. pmitros can you pastebin the full error? | 13:16 |
| ikonia | Seveas: there is an expire setting on host keys | 13:16 |
| ikonia | Seveas: that can have the same error | 13:16 |
| onixx | it seems you can't nfs boot + persistent on usb at the same time | 13:17 |
| NotSoSimple_ | I can't use ubuntu 12.10 cos I have only 256 RAM | 13:17 |
| Seveas | ikonia: where's the documentation for that? Never heard of it | 13:17 |
| ikonia | NotSoSimple_: you also can't use 10.04 | 13:17 |
| ikonia | Seveas: hang on, i'll see if I can pull the info | 13:17 |
| NotSoSimple_ | could install it | 13:18 |
| Seveas | NotSoSimple_: get a newer computer or use something like puppy linux. Ubuntu is not meant for computers made in the last century. | 13:18 |
| NotSoSimple_ | and they say it can be used with 256 RAM | 13:18 |
| NotSoSimple_ | :D | 13:18 |
| NotSoSimple_ | it has a celeron at 3 MHZ | 13:18 |
| jrib | NotSoSimple_: try lubuntu? | 13:18 |
| NotSoSimple_ | not so old | 13:18 |
| ikonia | NotSoSimple_: you won't be able to use ubuntu on that | 13:18 |
| pmitros | http://pastebin.com/wrNuiA1R (changed machine to machine.org and IP to something bogus) | 13:18 |
| ikonia | NotSoSimple_: it's lacking ram | 13:18 |
| jrib | NotSoSimple_: also, ram is fairly cheap... | 13:19 |
| NotSoSimple_ | I installed lubuntu and ubuntu on same har disk | 13:19 |

| sujan | what up? | 13:20 |
| ikonia | Seveas: it's not even a real expire, it's basically a trigger on date type event that runs a script to re-generate, so not even real expire | 13:20 |
| Naruto_Xboy | can someone help me | 13:20 |
| ubukou | jrib, i have been googling, but is seem to have used the wrong keywords. | 13:20 |

| ikonia | NotSoSimple_: you have to ask a question for someone to know if they can help you | 13:21 |
| pmitros | cronus: This machine is updated regularly, but has not been ssh'ed to in a few months, so I would not have noticed a key change | 13:21 |
| jrib | ubukou: iirc the site said you need to modify it, or use html5, or use some extensions | 13:21 |
| ikonia | pmitros: have you checked the time stamp on the host keys..... | 13:21 |
| pmitros | cronus: I'm Googling around right now. Do you have a pointer to the update, by chance? | 13:21 |
| * pmitros tries. Curious. ssh in fails. | 13:22 | |
| ubukou | jrib, you need to modify for any other browser except chrome/ium | 13:22 |
| xcvt01 | what's up | 13:22 |
| ikonia | pmitros: you need to remove your local cached key for it to allow you in | 13:22 |
| cronus | pmitros, sorry, no. but it was released more that a few months ago. probably about a year. | 13:22 |
| ikonia | pmitros: otherwise that would defeat the object of the ssh key-chain | 13:23 |
| ubukou | jrib, for chrome you need to use the correct plugin.. anyway i ll google again using other keywords. | 13:23 |
| ubukou | jrib, thanks again | 13:23 |
| onixx | does somebody has good experience here on pxe booting the live CD ? | 13:23 |

| ikonia | pmitros: is that your error or someone elses | 13:24 |
| xcvt01 | i'ev trie but stoop the test | 13:24 |
| xcvt01 | because my study | 13:24 |
| jrib | ubukou: the site proposes two options: 1) use html5 or 2) modify the flash plugin with a hex editor | 13:24 |
| pmitros | ikonia: It is someone else's, but I get the same one. | 13:24 |
| xcvt01 | try pxe | 13:24 |
| ubukou | jrib, hmm html5 i must have missed that.. i ll read again. | 13:24 |
| ikonia | pmitros: then why are you saying you get errors about host keys changing as that is nothing to do with a host key change, thats the ssh application failing | 13:24 |
| ikonia | pmitros: I also hope you're not ssh'ing in as root | 13:25 |
| onixx | xcvt01: i have pxe booting working, now I would like persistence on a usb flash drive connected to the computer | 13:25 |
| ubukou | jrib, ohhh the first one. | 13:25 |
| pmitros | ikonia: Step 1: I got ssh host key errors (as in pastebin). Step 2: Folks here advised me to clear host key and try again, and inspect remotely. I decided to try. Step 3: I got the above error. | 13:25 |
| ikonia | pmitros: ok, so it looks like sshd is the problem | 13:26 |
| ikonia | pmitros: if you get that exact error | 13:26 |
| ikonia | pmitros: I suspect it probably just needs a reboot after some updates. | 13:26 |
| ikonia | pmitros: although it could be more than that | 13:26 |
| jrib | pmitros: the server is ubuntu? What version? | 13:26 |
| pmitros | ikonia: Now I'm concerned about a man-in-the-middle compromise. | 13:26 |

| pmitros | jrib: It is Ubuntu. I am not sure about the version. I would guess around 12.04 or 12.10. | 13:27 |
| xcvt01 | ubuntu 13.04 stiil in debuging | 13:27 |
| ikonia | xcvt01: what ? | 13:28 |

| Naruto_Xboy | you cat help me turn off this card nvidia my laptop have two graphic card | 13:32 |
| pmitros | So I guess no more ideas? | 13:32 |
| ikonia | pmitros: what do you mean no ideas, you've been pointed at the problem | 13:32 |
| NotSoSimple_ | thanks ikonia! I can't see the led from the ethernet card activating as usual:it may mean that the nework card, the ethernet is the problem?! | 13:33 |

| ikonia | NotSoSimple_: if there is no link light on, check the card/cable/switch it's plugged into | 13:33 |
| ikonia | NotSoSimple_: the link light is normally a level above software, suggesting a hardware problem somewhere in your chain | 13:33 |
| NotSoSimple_ | the light it is | 13:34 |
| NotSoSimple_ | but is not blinking | 13:34 |
| ikonia | sorry what "the light it is" ? | 13:34 |
| ikonia | NotSoSimple_: is the link light on or off | 13:34 |
| NotSoSimple_ | the green light is on | 13:35 |
| ikonia | NotSoSimple_: is your computer working on the network ? | 13:35 |

| NotSoSimple_ | restarted, and expected to work | 13:37 |
| NotSoSimple_ | it doesn't | 13:37 |
| ikonia | NotSoSimple_: check if your network card has a valid IP address, check it has a valid gateway, and valid dns servers | 13:38 |
| pmitros | Curious. The old ssh key was ecdsa-sha2-nistp256. The new one is ssh-rsa. Does anyone know what it would be, by default, for Ubuntu? | 13:38 |
| NotSoSimple_ | i communicate as I have my id and password | 13:38 |
| NotSoSimple_ | and how can I check those?! | 13:38 |
| ikonia | NotSoSimple_: no-one asked you for any id or password | 13:39 |
| ikonia | pmitros: how are you conneting to the machine if you can't ssh in ? | 13:39 |
| NotSoSimple_ | I explained how I config it | 13:39 |
| ikonia | NotSoSimple_: yes, and I told you what to check | 13:39 |
| NotSoSimple_ | I know it is not to communicate that | 13:39 |
| pmitros | ikonia: I am not connecting to it. I have ~/ssh/known_hosts, and a backup, ~/ssh/known_hosts.old | 13:39 |
| NotSoSimple_ | but I don't kno where | 13:39 |
| pmitros | ikonia: I diffed the two. | 13:40 |
| NotSoSimple_ | I know in windows, but here I don't | 13:40 |
| ikonia | NotSoSimple_: I don't understand what you are saying, so maybe someone else will help | 13:40 |
| NotSoSimple_ | I don't know where to check the IP?! | 13:40 |
| ikonia | pmitros: ok - so you know the key has changed then | 13:40 |
| ikonia | pmitros: so your question is now a.) has the key changed on the host, or the middle ground | 13:40 |
| pmitros | ikonia: Exactly. | 13:41 |
| pmitros | ikonia: And if I know what the key should be going Ubuntu->Ubuntu, I will have my answer. | 13:41 |
| ikonia | pmitros: however as you have sshd crashing that could be on the final machine/middle machine | 13:41 |
| ikonia | pmitros: so your going to hit a problem | 13:41 |
| ikonia | pmitros: check the dns name of it matches the IP you expect | 13:41 |
| ikonia | pmitros: I suspect your key problem maybe related to the fact that sshd is actually crashing | 13:41 |
| pmitros | ikonia: If it is ecdsa-sha2-nistp256, I will know man-in-the-middle. If it is ssh-rsa, I will know the old key was bad. | 13:42 |
| ikonia | pmitros: you don't know that at all | 13:42 |
| ikonia | pmitros: hence why I'm saying you need to check the actual target machine | 13:42 |
| shock_one | Hi, guys. Which utility does Ubuntu (13.04) use for suspend to RAM? | 13:43 |
| cfhowlett | !ubuntu+1|shock_one, | 13:44 |
| ubottu | shock_one,: Raring Ringtail is the codename for Ubuntu 13.04 - Support only in #ubuntu+1 | 13:44 |
| pmitros | ikonia: One possibility is that, at some point, I ssh'ed to a machine with DNS issues from where I am, many months ago. | 13:44 |
| shock_one | ubottu, thank you, but I think the previous version uses the same tool. | 13:44 |
| ubottu | shock_one: I am only a bot, please don't think I'm intelligent :) | 13:44 |
| ikonia | pmitros: what do you mean ? | 13:45 |
| pmitros | ikonia: If Ubuntu does not give ecdsa-sha2-nistp256, that would be the only explanation. | 13:45 |
| ikonia | pmitros: no it would not be | 13:45 |
| ikonia | pmitros: you have a machine with sshd crashing.... | 13:45 |
| ikonia | pmitros: you've not checked the dns->ip is correct | 13:45 |
| ikonia | pmitros: you've not checked the time stamps on the keys | 13:45 |
| pmitros | ikonia: DNS->IP is correct. | 13:45 |
| ikonia | pmitros: you've not got any informaiton to make a "guess" on | 13:45 |
| shock_one | cfhowlett, thank you, but I think the previous version uses the same tool. | 13:46 |
| Naruto_Xboy | hello | 13:46 |
| pmitros | ikonia: Do you have a way to tell me what the correct host key type for a default Ubuntu install is? ecdsa-sha2-nistp256 or ssh-rsa? | 13:46 |
| cfhowlett | Naruto_Xboy, greetings | 13:46 |
| ikonia | pmitros: I'm sorry - this is a pointless discussion, you're not listening, checking the default key type means nothing | 13:46 |
| uvala | what might this mean i f it appears after clicking on "send" in a mail program? http://troll.ws/image/ef00301c | 13:47 |
| Naruto_Xboy | hello cfhow left ;) | 13:47 |
| pmitros | ikonia: For what is stored in known_hosts? I believe both are generated. | 13:47 |
| pmitros | ikonia: I am listening. I am not agreeing. There is a difference. | 13:47 |
| ikonia | pmitros: ok, then there is no point in me progressing this with you | 13:47 |

| winux | hi ikona | 13:51 |
| pmitros | ikonia: You have two options when there is a disagreement. One is to assume the person you are talking to is an idiot, and discontinue the discussion. The second is to understand the source of disagreement, and to come to a consensus. At that point, one side or the other learns something. | 13:51 |

| ikonia | ed_: just explain your problem clearly, and people will help if they can | 14:04 |
| echo | Capprentice: cool :) | 14:05 |
| Capprentice | No not cool. padsp needs to be preceded to be able to record sound. Otherwise soung wont be recorded. | 14:06 |
| ed_ | my install went OK ; i have a separate /home partition that doesn't seem to be affected but i have no desktop, evolution, etc.... on 12.04 ???? | 14:06 |
| echo | Capprentice: on a side note, to find out where an executable is located you may run "which name-of-executable" eg. "which xvidcap" in the terminal | 14:06 |
| ed_ | things are not linked up so to speak....evidently bacause i did a fresh install instead of upgrade.... | 14:07 |

| xodiak | SonikkuAmerica, Windows is 281GB, Mint is 204GB, Swap is 5GB and there like 8.5 GB unallocated. | 15:29 |

| Kalebtbacon | so i would need a USB for it? | 16:46 |
| bcbc2 | Kalebtbacon: yes | 16:46 |
| bobbyz | fizyplankton: If your question is whether or not you can run 32bit without problem on > 4G ram, the answer is yes, you can. without PAE, I think you'll only see 3.5GB of memory. With PAE, you'll see it all. I don't know what all you have installed, but transitioning to 64bit is really not a big deal. You shouldn't really need to dual-boot. Just backup your data and install 64bit | 16:47 |
| bmxscott1993 | im BACK | 16:47 |
| bobbyz | fizyplankton: That assumes your processor is a 64bit processor, of course | 16:48 |
| fizyplankton | bobbyz: transitioning to 64 bit will be a major deal for me. im still in the very early stages of going from 10.04 to 12.04. i have a very unusual and fragile configuration, and the way i see it, if it aint broke, dont fix it. whats pae | 16:49 |
| scooby | how do I (from the command line) upgrade from 10.4 to 12.4? | 16:49 |
| fizyplankton | scooby: sudo apt-get dist-upgrade | 16:50 |
| bobbyz | fizyplankton: I don't know your situation, so I can't comment. However, keep in mind that you can run 32-bit apps on 64-bit with the right libraries installed. PAE is physical address extension, and allows addressing >4GB memory on 32bit systems | 16:50 |

| nyx114 | Kalebtbacon, you should change your boot device order | 16:51 |
| jrib | scooby: follow the server instructions there. Also take care that the versions are "10.04" and "12.04", not "10.4" and "12.4". They correspond to YEAR.MONTH (i.e. 12.04 represents 2012 April) | 16:51 |
| Kalebtbacon | Is that when it says HP and gives me a couple of options | 16:51 |
| fizyplankton | bobbyz: interesting. the most unusual aspect of my setup is that i have 5 monitors. it just barely works in lucid. cant get it working in precise yet. | 16:52 |
| scooby | fizyplankton: the command you gave me does NOT upgrade the version. It upgrades the packages within the realease - not what I want | 16:52 |
| scooby | jrib: the link you gave me is not for the command line - I need a command line way to upgrade from 10.4 to 12.4 | 16:53 |
| jrib | scooby: as I said, follow the server instructions. | 16:53 |
| bobbyz | fizyplankton: The 32 vs 64 bit architecture shouldn't have much bearing on your monitor configuration. Once you get your monitors working on precise, the same configuration should apply to 32bit or 64bit | 16:53 |
| scooby | jrib: I do not see such instructions on the page you gave me a reference to | 16:53 |
| jrib | scooby: more specifically, here you go: https://help.ubuntu.com/community/PreciseUpgrades#Network_Upgrade_for_Ubuntu_Servers_.28Recommended.29 | 16:53 |

| ferronica | anyone help me regarding Geary Mail? | 17:04 |
| Catbuntu | That's what I do bobbyz. | 17:04 |
| Catbuntu | I have both NAT and Host-only. | 17:04 |
| bobbyz | Catbuntu: Then you can access the guest via the address from the host-only adapter | 17:04 |
| Catbuntu | but the host-only adapter has the same IP that the guest. | 17:05 |
| Catbuntu | oh, no, ignore that | 17:05 |
| Catbuntu | It doesn't work. | 17:06 |
| ferronica | anyone help me regarding Geary Mail? | 17:07 |
| Catbuntu | Also I have a web server running on the host and using Host-only's IP showed host's localhost. | 17:07 |
| wilee-nilee | bmxscott1993, We want to help, however if this is a language issue lets be aware of that and maybe there is a channel for you that may be better, just trying to help. ;) | 17:08 |
| OerHeks | ferronica, see https://apps.ubuntu.com/cat/applications/geary/ | 17:08 |
| Catbuntu | hmm, but 192.168.56.1 responses to ping. | 17:09 |
| bmxscott1993 | no it no problem of language issue | 17:09 |
| bobbyz | Catbuntu: Make sure you have configured the host-only networking correctly. Check the settings under File -> Preferences -> Network. When that is configured, you should see a virtual interface on your host when running ifconfig. The guest interface has to be configured to be on the same network, etc | 17:09 |
| ferronica | OerHeks, im facing some problem with it | 17:09 |
| Catbuntu | and how can I configure the guest? | 17:10 |
| bobbyz | Catbuntu: Are you running ubuntu on the guest as well? | 17:10 |
| Catbuntu | yes, Ubuntu Server | 17:10 |
| ferronica | OerHeks, not able to add account tried two account yahoo and gmail both same problem | 17:10 |
| dharani | hi im using http://www.davidrevoy.com/data/documents/recordscreen_12-04.zip | 17:10 |
| wilee-nilee | bmxscott1993, Cool then two things speak succinctly, and read the questions carefully, we can help best when contradicting information is not presented. | 17:10 |
| ferronica | OerHeks, im using ubuntu 64bit 12.04 | 17:10 |
| dharani | to record my sessions | 17:10 |
| bmxscott1993 | ok | 17:11 |
| Catbuntu | and the vboxnet0 adapter appears on host's ifconfig but not on guest's. | 17:11 |
| wilee-nilee | ;) | 17:11 |
| bobbyz | Catbuntu: okay, then edit /etc/network/interfaces . Right now it probably only has an entry for auth eth0 (assuming eth0 is your NAT adapter). You'll need to add a static entry for eth1 | 17:11 |
| dharani | but im unable to capture the audio from the otherend | 17:11 |
| dharani | can any one help me out | 17:11 |
| dharani | hi im using http://www.davidrevoy.com/data/documents/recordscreen_12-04.zip | 17:12 |
| dharani | to record my sessions | 17:12 |
| dharani | but im unable to capture the audio from the otherend | 17:12 |
| Catbuntu | I tried bobbyz, lets see if it works | 17:12 |
| bobbyz | Catbuntu: Something along the lines of: auto eth1\n iface eth1 inet static\n address 192.168.56.2\n netmask 255.255.255.0 | 17:12 |
| bobbyz | Catbuntu: 'sudo service networking restart' after that config is in place | 17:12 |
| Catbuntu | okay | 17:13 |
| dharani | hi im using http://www.davidrevoy.com/data/documents/recordscreen_12-04.zip | 17:13 |
| dharani | to record my training sessions with skype but i'm unable to capture the audio from the otherend | 17:13 |
| Catbuntu | the address should be the same than the Host-only's IP? | 17:13 |
| OerHeks | ferronica, i just tried gmail, works fine. what error do you get? | 17:13 |
| dharani | plz help | 17:13 |
| steve_fi | heya guys, I want to clone my gpt ubuntu disk to a smaller SSD, and i am wondering if I resize the partition on the source disk, will the "dd" command copy the unused space as well? | 17:13 |
| bobbyz | Catbuntu: Then you should see the static ip for eth1 when running ifconfig on the guest. If you can, then from the host you should be able to ping the guest | 17:13 |
| === hashashin is now known as Guest94343 | ||
| bobbyz | Catbuntu: No, the guest needs a distinct IP different than the host, but on the same subnet. If host is 192.168.99.1, then guest should be 192.168.99.2 or any other last octect other than 1 or 255 | 17:14 |
| ferronica | OerHeks, when i fill all mail account details and click ADD Error Unable to connect *Connection Error | 17:14 |
| bobbyz | Catbuntu: After the configuration is in /etc/network/interfaces on the guest, you need to restart networking on the guest with 'sudo service networking restart' and then you should be able to run a ping command on the *host* and ping the guest IP | 17:15 |
| Catbuntu | the service networking restarts says "stop: Unknown instance, networking stop/waiting" | 17:16 |
| Catbuntu | i'm trying to restart and see if it works | 17:16 |
| ferronica | OerHeks, any idea about it | 17:17 |
| bobbyz | Catbuntu: my mistake then. Run sudo /etc/init.d/networking restart | 17:18 |

| bkfitz | MartynKe: sure | 17:33 |
| bobbyz | bmxscott1993: I see a line of output before X starts indicating nouveau is in use. If you are okay using proprietary drivers, then you might consider installing the nvidia drivers | 17:33 |

| bkfitz | sudo apt-get install apache2 | 17:36 |
| bkfitz | then put your html inside /var/www | 17:36 |

| MartynKe- | im used to wordpress | 17:37 |
| bkfitz | what kind of site? you may want to look at wordpress or drupal | 17:37 |
| bkfitz | yes | 17:37 |
| MartynKe- | cool! does the apache take ccare of the mysql side of things? | 17:38 |
| bkfitz | easy peasy, just get apache installed, then google "ubuntu apache wordpress" | 17:38 |
| bkfitz | yes | 17:38 |
| MartynKe- | as in install it? i can create the db no worries. | 17:38 |
| bkfitz | "take care of"? apache hosts the wordpress content which is stored in myssql | 17:38 |

| MartynKe- | nice. hey man...thanks for your help! :) i have plenty of stuff to be getting on with now! hey one last Q...ubuntu 12.04 server or desktop? | 17:39 |
| bkfitz | make sure you leverage ubuntu firewall to block all ports except 80 or you'll be hacked in no time | 17:39 |
| MartynKe- | server has no gui. i assume i can add that though? | 17:39 |
| bkfitz | google UFW | 17:39 |
| bkfitz | what do you need a gui for | 17:39 |
| MartynKe- | will do! :) | 17:39 |
| bmxscott1993 | it install in but is it to do with bios setting or just drive | 17:39 |

| ikonia | chrisirc: just copy it off | 18:08 |
| Adriannom | ikonia, i didn't say anything about the document "not working". though it seems like you are just being facetious? | 18:08 |
| ikonia | chrisirc: "cat" partition isn't going to do nothing | 18:08 |
| chrisirc | It contains a windows system. And permissions etc. need to be restorable. | 18:09 |
| g0to | hi | 18:09 |
| chrisirc | ikonia, cat /dev/sda1 | 18:09 |
| ikonia | Adriannom: no, you said you had read the documentation, I've just given you another document with known good information in it, so there are your "pointers" if you read the document | 18:09 |
| ikonia | chrisirc: no way should you be doing that | 18:09 |
| chrisirc | Why not? | 18:09 |
| ikonia | chrisirc: that is not valid data | 18:09 |
| wilee-nilee | chrisirc, All windows releases since XP have a cloner, if it is bootable use it, it only saves the data. | 18:09 |
| chrisirc | ikonia, hu, nonsense, if you use that to restore the partition then that's just fine. | 18:10 |
| ikonia | chrisirc: sorry - it's not, but if you believe that, carry on | 18:10 |
| g0to | I just added the line "g0to ALL=NOPASSWD: /usr/bin/truecrypt" to my sudoers file but it keeps me asking for password when I run truecrypt | 18:10 |
| chrisirc | wilee-nilee, thanks, will check for that. | 18:10 |
| chrisirc | ikonia, why would it not be? | 18:10 |
| g0to | is the line above well formed? | 18:10 |
| ikonia | chrisirc: just carry on | 18:10 |
| wilee-nilee | chrisirc, the basic xp I forgets it exact name needs to have t loaded from a install cd is all. | 18:11 |
| jrib | g0to: are you running "sudo /usr/bin/truecrypt"? | 18:11 |
| chrisirc | ikonia, cat /dev/sda1|gzip > /mnt/backupdisk/backupfile.gz; then for restoring, create a partition of identical size, zcat /mnt/backupdisk/backupfile.gz > /dev/sda1 | 18:12 |
| Adriannom | ikonia, your link wasn't what i had already read. are you saying read every link under the document that you just pasted before asking questions? | 18:12 |
| g0to | jrib, nope, I was just running it as a regular user | 18:12 |
| ikonia | Adriannom: no, I'm saying read the link I just gave you | 18:12 |
| wilee-nilee | chrisirc, With W7 and 8 you need a pro version to get multiple cloning not sure about vista, probably the same. | 18:12 |
| jrib | g0to: this is your issue? | 18:12 |
| ikonia | chrisirc: you can keep saying it all you want, but that doesn't change it | 18:12 |
| chrisirc | (ikonia, also, I'm actually doing /dev/sda, since I want the partition map as well for convenience; that wasn't in line with my wording of "partition" though, so I cheated that to sda1) | 18:13 |
| chrisirc | ikonia, now tell me why that would fail. | 18:13 |
| ikonia | chrisirc: just carry on | 18:13 |
| g0to | jrib, yeah, I think that that was the problem | 18:14 |
| CorruptedHelix | Hello! Does anyone know how I would install the Plantronics 780 software in Ubuntu 12.10? The software for these headphones is required to take advantage of it's Dolby technology (7.1 surround sound). | 18:15 |
| ikonia | CorruptedHelix: is there a linux package for the software ? | 18:15 |
| CorruptedHelix | I have tried using WINE to launch the executable in the disc's contentes. | 18:15 |

| ikonia | CorruptedHelix: I would not advise you to use wine like that to interact with hardware | 18:15 |
| ikonia | CorruptedHelix: the sad truth is, they may not have linux support | 18:16 |
| CorruptedHelix | Regardless, I need a way to make it work. The setup fails to launch when launched with WINE. | 18:16 |
| ikonia | CorruptedHelix: regardless of how much you want it to work, it's very probably that it will not work due to a lack of linux support | 18:16 |
| CorruptedHelix | That's unfortunate. :/ | 18:17 |
| ikonia | CorruptedHelix: just reading through some docs on the web, and it suggests that you can only use them in mac os / linux as normal 2 channel headphones | 18:17 |
| Adriannom | ikonia, i'm gonna guess that you are really trying to direct me to the troubleshooting link? or what? basically the device only exists under lspci, nowhere else. iwconfig doesn't help | 18:17 |
| ikonia | Adriannom: no, I'm not trying to direct you to anything, I'm trying to ask you to read the information i've given you and then if you can't get it working, ask specific questions | 18:18 |

| bobbyz | CorruptedHelix: Your best bet is to poke around the ALSA mailing lists. That type of USB headset is something that would need corresponding ALSA drivers on the linux side. You'll probably be able to get it to do 2.1 surround, but until/unless it is supported by ALSA, it likely won't do 7.1 | 18:27 |
| bobbyz | CorruptedHelix: but ALSA is definitely what would be responsible for the hardware support on the Linux side, so it's best to poke around at the source on that one (ALSA lists) | 18:28 |
| CorruptedHelix | bobbyz: Can I get direction on this? I'm a Linux noob. Otherwise, I've sent Plantronics a support email. | 18:28 |
| ikonia | bobbyz: docs suggest it will do 2.1, but that's it | 18:28 |
| bobbyz | CorruptedHelix: First question -- Do you have it working as a 2.1 surround headset yet under Linux? | 18:28 |
| ikonia | CorruptedHelix: plantronics official line on that device is not supported on linux or mac os | 18:29 |
| CorruptedHelix | I'm testing that at the moment. | 18:29 |
| CorruptedHelix | The headset currently works in Ubuntu, tested audio with the Sound application. Not sure if it's set as default output, however | 18:30 |
| ikonia | actually plantronics do not seem to support any device on linux | 18:30 |
| CorruptedHelix | Regardless, I've just tested. The microphone and speakers themselves do work. | 18:30 |
| ikonia | CorruptedHelix: basic functionality should be fine | 18:31 |
| ikonia | CorruptedHelix: it's only the software layer that should fail | 18:31 |
| CorruptedHelix | I'd love to get that 7.1 surround working, if possible, but that's acceptable | 18:31 |
| ikonia | CorruptedHelix: I don't believe you will get that | 18:31 |
| bobbyz | CorruptedHelix: then as ikonia says, you'll probably have to live with 2.1. Plantronics doesn't support that hardware under Linux. The functioning 2.1 support you have right now is not thanks to Plantronics, but rather thanks to the ALSA project developers | 18:32 |
| bobbyz | CorruptedHelix: So while an ALSA developer could very well add 7.1 support in the future, it looks right now only 2.1 is supported | 18:32 |
| AlbinoGeek | Package php5 php5dev php-pear etc don't even exist? | 18:34 |
| AlbinoGeek | What gives? | 18:34 |
| ikonia | AlbinoGeek: what do you mean, "what gives" | 18:34 |
| ikonia | AlbinoGeek: there are numerous php packages | 18:34 |
| AlbinoGeek | Well, why don't they exist in the apt repo? | 18:34 |
| ikonia | !info php5 | 18:34 |
| ubottu | php5 (source: php5): server-side, HTML-embedded scripting language (metapackage). In component main, is optional. Version 5.4.6-1ubuntu1.2 (quantal), package size 1 kB, installed size 21 kB | 18:34 |
| bobbyz | CorruptedHelix: Much of the hardware support on Linux does not come thanks to the original device manufacturers but rather from Linux community kernel developers that add support for the hardware themselves | 18:34 |
| ikonia | AlbinoGeek: yes it does | 18:34 |
| AlbinoGeek | ikonia: And php5dev ? | 18:34 |
| ikonia | AlbinoGeek: that doesn't look like a valid name | 18:34 |
| AlbinoGeek | The "php5" package misses phpize and other base components required for pear. | 18:35 |
| AlbinoGeek | So... yeah. | 18:35 |
| AlbinoGeek | !info php5-dev | 18:35 |
| ubottu | php5-dev (source: php5): Files for PHP5 module development. In component main, is optional. Version 5.4.6-1ubuntu1.2 (quantal), package size 494 kB, installed size 3313 kB | 18:35 |
| AlbinoGeek | Perhaps / | 18:35 |
| AlbinoGeek | Oh yeah, there we go. | 18:35 |
| ikonia | AlbinoGeek: have you actually done a package search ? | 18:35 |
| Adriannom | ikonia, https://help.ubuntu.com/community/WifiDocs/Driver/RalinkRT61?action=show&redirect=Rt61WirelessCardsHowTo <--- this is the main document i was working off. so to answer your original question, "sudo iwlist ra0 scan" was the point that the document failed. it returns "ra0 Interface doesn't support scanning." | 18:35 |
| ikonia | Adriannom: so rather than just coming in complaining about pacakges with the wrong names, open the package manager, and actually search | 18:35 |
| ikonia | oops | 18:35 |
| AlbinoGeek | ikonia: Nope, I stay miles away from s*buntu | 18:35 |
| ikonia | Adriannom: that was for AlbinoGeek | 18:35 |
| Adriannom | ikonia, hehe ;) | 18:36 |
| ikonia | Adriannom: s*ubuntu ? | 18:36 |
| ikonia | oops | 18:36 |
| ikonia | AlbinoGeek: s*ubuntu ? | 18:36 |
| AlbinoGeek | ikonia: I won' | 18:36 |
| ikonia | AlbinoGeek: won what ? | 18:36 |
| AlbinoGeek | ikonia: I won't flame about ubuntu in the ubuntu channel * | 18:36 |
| Adriannom | lol | 18:36 |
| ikonia | AlbinoGeek: sorry, i don't understand | 18:36 |
| AlbinoGeek | But yeah, not happy with it; wouldn't even use it at all if clients didn't have it on their servers. | 18:36 |
| ikonia | AlbinoGeek: I'm asking you to look for packages using the search function, before complaining that they don't exist, because you've typed the wrong name | 18:37 |
| AlbinoGeek | So, besides knowing yum == apt-get ... yeah. | 18:37 |
| AlbinoGeek | Yeah, what is the search function in ubuntu ? | 18:37 |
| AlbinoGeek | Heh | 18:37 |
| ikonia | AlbinoGeek: https://help.ubuntu.com - have a scan through the basic introduction to ubuntu | 18:37 |
| deung | the dash has an search modus | 18:37 |
| AlbinoGeek | apt-get search didn't return. | 18:37 |
| === ubuntu is now known as Guest92430 | ||
| ikonia | AlbinoGeek: it gives an overview to the basic desktop/server based functions | 18:38 |

| hansi3482 | Hey Guys why i m the only who is grey? | 18:38 |
| AlbinoGeek | And it also bitches constantly that it's not `precise` | 18:38 |
| AlbinoGeek | whatever that even means. | 18:38 |
| ikonia | hansi3482: what ? | 18:38 |
| ikonia | AlbinoGeek: what complains ? | 18:38 |
| Adriannom | ikonia, are you a representative of ubuntu or just a random helper? | 18:38 |
| ikonia | Adriannom: random | 18:38 |
| AlbinoGeek | ikonia: Every command complains that it's not precise. | 18:38 |
| ikonia | AlbinoGeek: can you give me an example ? | 18:38 |
| AlbinoGeek | ikonia: Right, if I go into their webmin and type: ping google.com | 18:39 |
| ikonia | AlbinoGeek: that is not in ubuntu | 18:39 |
| ikonia | AlbinoGeek: webmin..... | 18:39 |
| AlbinoGeek | It returns with a complaint about security updates, that the system isn't `precise` and that I should do-release-upgrade | 18:39 |
| quick- | hi ,the sound on my system is incresaing and decresing on its own and i am having trouble typing due to this . Can you please tell me how to stop this. I tried disabling the pulseaudio service but that didnt help. I am having a HP CQ 45 207 TU notebook | 18:39 |
| ikonia | AlbinoGeek: sounds like they have hacked away at their machine | 18:39 |
| ikonia | AlbinoGeek: I'd ask them to sort it out, as webmin is not a part of ubuntu | 18:39 |
| AlbinoGeek | ikonia: >ubuntu | 18:40 |
| hansi3482 | Can i make link from programs to my desk? | 18:40 |
| AlbinoGeek | ikonia: Yeah, this guy doesn't know jack shit about linux. | 18:40 |
| ikonia | hansi3482: sure, there are desktop links | 18:40 |
| ikonia | AlbinoGeek: please tone down the language, there is no need for it | 18:41 |
| Adriannom | ikonia, i did what you asked and told you which part of the document you linked me to didn't work. is there anything more you need? | 18:41 |
| ikonia | Adriannom: what exactly didn't work | 18:41 |
| Adriannom | ikonia, https://help.ubuntu.com/community/WifiDocs/Driver/RalinkRT61?action=show&redirect=Rt61WirelessCardsHowTo <--- this is the main document i was working off. so to answer your original question, "sudo iwlist ra0 scan" was the point that the document failed. it returns "ra0 Interface doesn't support scanning." | 18:41 |
| AlbinoGeek | ikonia: Year sorry, not very happy with having to touch this distro whatsoever. | 18:41 |
| wilee-nilee | hansi3482, You might be more specific as to the app/programs you want to have a launcher for. | 18:41 |
| bobbyz | AlbinoGeek: When it is referring to 'precise', 'precise' is the name given for the most recent Ubuntu long-term support (LTS) release. So complaints of not being 'precise' and about security updates indicate the server is running an older version of Ubuntu, possibly one that is outside of the support period | 18:42 |
| Adriannom | ikonia, just search that doc for "sudo iwlist ra0 scan" i guess... | 18:42 |
| hansi3482 | sry for Firefox or Thunderbord | 18:42 |
| ikonia | Adriannom: are you using a ralink RT61 ? | 18:42 |
| Adriannom | " having trouble getting my wifi card to work. ubuntu 12.10, lspci says "Network controller: Ralink corp. RT2561/RT61 802.11g PCI". compiled the ralink driver but iwconfig says no wifi card. anyone have any ideas?" | 18:42 |
| ikonia | Adriannom: is the ralinmk driver you compiled actually loaded | 18:43 |
| Adriannom | ikonia, nope, not by the look of it | 18:43 |
| Adriannom | ikonia, no errors though | 18:43 |
| === jd is now known as Guest93116 | ||
| ikonia | Adriannom: how are you checking if it's loaded ? | 18:43 |
| Adriannom | ikonia, in fact, activating the module is further down that page | 18:44 |
| bobbyz | AlbinoGeek: I don't use webmin, so I can't help with webmin itself, but it is likely trying to alert you very loudly that the version of Ubuntu installed is old and is susceptible to security flaws. If the release is outside of the support term, then it might not even get security patches anymore, so it might be trying to loudly suggest an upgrade to a version that receives security patches | 18:44 |
| Adriannom | ikonia, lsmod | grep rt | 18:44 |
| ikonia | Adriannom: ok, so have you tried loading it | 18:44 |
| wilee-nilee | hansi3482, I have not tried dragging but I believe if in unity you can drag them from the dash. http://www.liberiangeek.net/2012/04/add-application-shortcuts-to-your-desktop-in-ubuntu-12-04-precise-pangolin/?ModPagespeed=noscript | 18:44 |

| quick- | join ubuntu-bugs | 18:44 |
| AlbinoGeek | bobbyz: Kind of hard to upgrade without SSH, or any means to enter commands though. | 18:45 |
| ikonia | AlbinoGeek: I'd advise you not to upgrade | 18:45 |
| ikonia | AlbinoGeek: as it sounds like your system has been modified, which means the upgrade process is not to be trusted | 18:45 |
| AlbinoGeek | Why is it that every Ubuntu machine I see is this "modified"... | 18:46 |
| AlbinoGeek | Oh well. | 18:46 |
| Adriannom | ikonia, hm... my mistake, the module does appear to be loaded | 18:46 |
| bobbyz | AlbinoGeek: I don't know your specific situation, but I'd side with ikonia and advise a reinstall on 12.04 server (LTS version, 'precise') | 18:46 |
| ikonia | AlbinoGeek: ubuntu isn't modified, it's the people who run it that modified it, ask them | 18:46 |
| AlbinoGeek | bobbyz: If reinstall was an option, it wouldn't have Ubuntu and I wouldn't be here :/ | 18:46 |
| ikonia | AlbinoGeek: do you actually have a device called ra0 ? | 18:46 |
| Adriannom | ikonia, not under iwconfig | 18:46 |
| AlbinoGeek | ikonia: There is no /dev/ra0 ; if that's what you mean. | 18:46 |
| ikonia | AlbinoGeek: can we give the ubuntu hate a rest, it's getting really tedious | 18:46 |
| ikonia | AlbinoGeek: sorry, that ra0 was for Adriannom | 18:47 |
| AlbinoGeek | Then again, there wasn't even a /dev until I pointed it. | 18:47 |
| AlbinoGeek | Because yeah, very "modified" | 18:47 |
| ikonia | AlbinoGeek: there can't not be a /dev | 18:47 |
| Adriannom | ikonia, the wireless card isn't showing up under iwconfig | 18:47 |
| AlbinoGeek | ikonia: "modified" | 18:47 |
| ikonia | Adriannom: what about ifconfig | 18:47 |
| ikonia | AlbinoGeek: there can't not be a /dev | 18:47 |
| Adriannom | ikonia, nor ifconfig | 18:47 |
| bobbyz | AlbinoGeek: one thing I can say is that if you have root access through webmin, you should probably be able to install SSH via 'sudo apt-get install openssh-server' | 18:47 |
| ikonia | Adriannom: ok - can you pastebin the output of ifconfig -a please | 18:47 |
| AlbinoGeek | ikonia: There wasn't a visible /<anything> ; the entire "shell" (if you can call it that) was chrooted/jailed/some other magic in /home/admin | 18:47 |
| ikonia | Adriannom: (use sudo) | 18:47 |
| Kalios | anyone know anything about /dev/dvb i can see my tuner cards with lspci with drivers however no dvb | 18:48 |
| AlbinoGeek | bobbyz: Tried that, it said openssh-server didn't exist. | 18:48 |
| ikonia | AlbinoGeek: ok - so that again, is someone modifiying it with a chroot, that doesn't mean there is no /dev | 18:48 |
| quick- | hi ,the sound on my system is incresaing and decresing on its own and i am having trouble typing due to this . Can you please tell me how to stop this. I tried disabling the pulseaudio service but that didnt help. I am having a HP CQ 45 207 TU notebook | 18:48 |
| Adriannom | ikonia, http://pastebin.com/9q9NZLdD | 18:48 |
| ikonia | AlbinoGeek: I'd suggest talking to the people who run this, as you're not going to benifit from any of the standard ubuntu help | 18:48 |
| Adriannom | ikonia, both cards are wired | 18:48 |
| === alto is now known as altomato | ||
| AlbinoGeek | ikonia: Yeah, I have no idea; they're some Christian webhost (lit: "truefaith" is their name) and they've no idea about the server either. | 18:49 |
| ikonia | Adriannom: that does suggest the card is not active, normally because the module is not loaded | 18:49 |
| ikonia | Adriannom: ok, so I think you're done with this channel | 18:49 |
| AlbinoGeek | They said they installed Webmin via their sh, and that's it. They haven't "modified" it past that according to their logs. | 18:49 |
| ikonia | Adriannom: sorry, | 18:49 |
| ikonia | AlbinoGeek: so I think you're done with this channel as it's modified | 18:49 |
| ikonia | Adriannom: not you | 18:49 |
| Adriannom | ikonia, rt61 is under lsmod, and that's the module the document wants me to load | 18:49 |
| AlbinoGeek | ikonia: You need to type more than one character before pressing tab :P | 18:49 |
| ikonia | Adriannom: this sounds picky, but can you confirm that your card is actually an rt61 | 18:49 |
| ikonia | AlbinoGeek: agreed | 18:50 |
| Adriannom | ikonia, all i currently know is "Network controller: Ralink corp. RT2561/RT61 802.11g PCI" - could that be 2500 instead? | 18:50 |
| bobbyz | AlbinoGeek: cat /etc/lsb-release | 18:50 |
| ikonia | Adriannom: even so, I'd expect tha tmodule to support it | 18:50 |
| Adriannom | ikonia, :( | 18:51 |
| bobbyz | AlbinoGeek: See if that file exists or not, and what version of ubuntu you're on | 18:51 |

| ikonia | Adriannom: just having a little research on that module | 18:52 |
| disPlay | why the clamtk version in the repos is not the latest? | 18:52 |
| wilee-nilee | disPlay, latest compared to? | 18:53 |
| Adriannom | ikonia, thank you, because i'm out of my depth beyond this point | 18:53 |
| ikonia | Adriannom: I've personally never used that module so I'm flying a little blind, just give me a few minutes | 18:53 |
| disPlay | wilee, the latest version on the clamtk website is 4.44 | 18:54 |
| ikonia | Adriannom: just out of interest, can you sudo rmmod that module ? | 18:54 |
| bobbyz | AlbinoGeek: Okay, that means you are on Lucid, the previous LTS version. Now : grep 'lucid main' /etc/apt/sources.list | 18:54 |
| wilee-nilee | disPlay, Ubuntu repackages apps to run in its OS, they only move so fast. | 18:55 |
| disPlay | ok thanks for the information. | 18:55 |
| Adriannom | ikonia, yup | 18:56 |
| wilee-nilee | sure;) | 18:56 |
| ikonia | Adriannom: ok, now do a sudo depmod -a | 18:56 |
| judahlion | blist | 18:56 |
| bobbyz | AlbinoGeek: And also grep 'lucid-security main' /etc/apt/sources.list. I don't need to see the output...just want to confirm you have repositories in /etc/apt/sources.list | 18:56 |
| Adriannom | ikonia, running | 18:56 |
| Adriannom | ikonia, done | 18:56 |
| ikonia | Adriannom: is the module loaded now ? | 18:56 |
| Adriannom | ikonia, nope | 18:57 |
| AlbinoGeek | bobbyz: deb http://us.archive.ubuntu.com/ubuntu/ lucid main restricted | 18:57 |
| AlbinoGeek | That's it. | 18:57 |
| ikonia | Adriannom: good, so sudo modprobe it | 18:57 |
| Adriannom | ikonia, done, it's back | 18:57 |
| ikonia | Adriannom: now lets look at sudo ifconfig -a again | 18:58 |
| Adriannom | ikonia, same | 18:58 |
| bobbyz | AlbinoGeek: Okay, so that means you're setup for apt. Now : 'sudo apt-get update' . The package list is probably horribly outdated and needs update via that command | 18:58 |
| ikonia | Adriannom: that's frustrating/odd | 18:58 |
| AlbinoGeek | bobbyz: Says there's 0 to update, 2 to remove (old linux-headers linux-kernel, says to use autoremove etc.) | 18:58 |
| Adriannom | ikonia, here is the lsmod | grep rt: http://pastebin.com/P0aWZ7Lv | 18:59 |
| bobbyz | AlbinoGeek: that means you ran 'apt-get upgrade' and not 'apt-get update' | 18:59 |
| AlbinoGeek | bobbyz: sudo apt-get update | 18:59 |
| Adriannom | ikonia, only "rt61" is removed. does that help? | 18:59 |
| AlbinoGeek | ;x | 18:59 |
| ikonia | Adriannom: that actually looks good | 18:59 |

| the_hydra | bob3: welcome | 19:03 |
| bobbyz | AlbinoGeek: anyway, the good news is that you are still on an LTS release (10.04), which still receives security updates, at least from Canonical/Ubuntu. And if, after apt-get update, the server is saying that only a couple of packages need updating, then that's also good news, because unattended updates were probably on, and security updates were being installed automatically | 19:04 |
| AlbinoGeek | Yeah... | 19:05 |

| ralien | muszek google wake on lan | 19:23 |
| de | muszek, you can, wakeonlan | 19:23 |
| the_hydra | muszek: maybe via WOL (wake on LAN), but that's just a guess | 19:23 |
| muszek | ralien, de: does it need to be configured? | 19:23 |
| ralien | muszek bios | 19:23 |
| holstein | muszek: the hardware needs to support it, but i used to do it | 19:23 |
| muszek | crap, I need to configure it :) | 19:24 |
| ralien | the_hydra: can't see any errors, i can startx without any problems | 19:24 |
| ralien | lightdm.log shows that it successfully started | 19:24 |
| de | hey, what do i do if ls /sys/devices/cpu/ shows only : format power rdpmc subsystem type uevent. and theres no cpu0 cpu1 etc? i cant set governor or anything | 19:25 |
| ralien | but later it just stops and exits | 19:25 |
| ralien | x-0-greeter has some errors | 19:25 |
| ralien | can unity greeter work on any driver like fbdev? | 19:26 |
| ralien | because my friend told me he was messing with xorg.conf | 19:26 |

| knite | I'm trying to compile an app from a git repo, which needs me to run ./autogen.sh before config and make. this fails with - configure.ac:102: error: possibly undefined macro: AC_MSG_ERROR on EC2. what package(s) am I missing? | 19:27 |

| ralien | the_hydra: it's on unconnected pc, but i can try | 19:30 |
| the_hydra | ralien: who knows, maybe we can dig valuable info there | 19:30 |
| jhutchins_wk | ralien: So you haven't really described the problem. Does it go directly to console from boot? Does it start the gui then drop to console? | 19:31 |
| jhutchins_wk | ralien: What heppened before this behavior started/ | 19:31 |
| jhutchins_wk | ? | 19:31 |
| trism | knite: would be in the automake package, don't know if that is your issue though, would make sure you have autoconf, automake, and pkg-config | 19:31 |
| ralien | jhutchins_wk: log says it starts lightd successfully | 19:32 |
| ralien | jhutchins_wk: and i'm dropped to tty, because lightdm exits | 19:32 |
| ralien | jhutchins_wk: i checked greeter log and there are some errors | 19:33 |

| MartynKe- | hey...im running ubuntu server and i do not want a GUI. if i do sudo apt-get install gedit, it mentions 130mb of dependencies...seems a lot for an editor in the gui. any other ideas? | 19:41 |
| MartynKe- | all i need to do is edit a conf file | 19:41 |
| DJones | MartynKe-: Use nano rather than gedit | 19:41 |
| theadmin | MartynKe-: Use vim, nano or emacs, or any other of the console editors. | 19:42 |
| MonkeyDust | MartynKe- gedit is for use within a gui | 19:42 |
| MartynKe- | ah nano! thanks | 19:42 |
| MartynKe- | im new! ;) | 19:42 |
| DJones | MartynKe-: To install gedit, you need to install a GUI, so its probably pulling in the entire gnome/unity desktops | 19:42 |
| theadmin | DJones: Won't pull in the desktop, but at least Xorg and GTK... | 19:42 |
| theadmin | DJones: Which is a lot already | 19:42 |

| trism | knite: think I worked it out, misleading error message, it is failing on missing a libcurl macro, so you need one of the libcurl dev packages | 19:44 |

| trism | knite: I went with libcurl4-gnutls-dev, seemed to do the job | 19:44 |

| knite | @trism. heh, deep, I must be tired. package author recommends libcurl4-openssl-dev, which doesn't come up on a yum search but does appear online at packages.ubuntu.com. do I need to add an additional repository to yum or enable access to a dev toolchain? | 19:49 |

| ubottu | afreakkl: 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 | 19:49 |

| wilee-nilee | afreakkl, The user is the super user access you will just sudo appropriate commands and enter the user password. Ubuntu has not root password and don't make one it is not designed for one. | 19:51 |
| wilee-nilee | the admin user that is | 19:51 |
| afreakkl | oh ok thank you :p | 19:51 |
| theadmin | afreakkl: Example: "sudo apt-get install firefox" instead of "su ; apt-get install firefox". To get a behaviour similar to su, you can use "sudo -i" | 19:51 |

| Soru | Yes | 20:42 |
| Soru | theadmin: yes | 20:42 |

| MartynKe- | ok, well I'm thinking if i let it do it DURING the install, i can then do an apt-get update or apt-get upgrade right?? | 20:54 |
| MartynKe- | I'm new to this, sorry if the question is dumb! | 20:55 |

| Jordan_U | sai93: Many players do that, though of course yours and my definition of "in a decent way" differ. For example, for my uses iTunes is a very poor fit whereas quod libet is great, but my uses are probably very different from yours. | 21:11 |
| holstein | sai93: so, thats one you dont like... or havent learned to configure.. banshee is another, and that is a nice list above ^^ | 21:11 |
| BluesKaj | !cantata | 21:11 |

| Nexus_Russia | Hi all. Please tell me how to enable font smoothing in Wine? Sorry for bad english: () | 21:12 |
| _goxxsy_ | :-) | 21:13 |
| bora1 | :))) | 21:13 |
| theadmin | sai93: You can run iTunes in Ubuntu. See !wine | 21:13 |
| sai93 | ya i heard it is not very effective..but will give it a try.. | 21:13 |
| theadmin | sai93: "effective" is relative. Some software runs better than in Windows, some other fails completely. | 21:14 |
| bora1 | goxxsy ovde nemas sem nas iz yge:) | 21:14 |
| theadmin | bora1: English, please. | 21:14 |
| theadmin | Nexus_Russia: I don't think wine can do that :( | 21:14 |
| bora1 | theadmin znam Al necu ovo je moj maternji:) | 21:15 |
| theadmin | ... | 21:15 |
| Blacklite_ | ? | 21:15 |
| bobbyz | Nexus_Russia: Use winetricks | 21:16 |
| theadmin | Ohh | 21:16 |
| theadmin | Right. | 21:16 |
| cakeboss | Hey all. I am trying to send emails from terminal (no smtp server) using sendEmail. However I am getting a refused connection. Can anyone help me accomplish what I need done (that is, can anyone help me figure a way to send emails w/o an smpt server) | 21:16 |
| Blacklite_ | bora1 what language was that? | 21:16 |
| theadmin | Anyone know what bora1 is speaking? Send them to the right channel, please. | 21:16 |
| Kurza | that's serbian | 21:16 |
| pawiecki | Hi i have a question: How can i turn on and setup an old, wireless pc card (pcmcia)? It was detected and used while installing but now i can't get it to work (using cli) | 21:16 |
| bobbyz | Nexus_Russia: 'sudo apt-get install winetricks', then winetricks, select default wineprefix, change settings, and select the font smoothing you want | 21:17 |
| melkor | When I use the 3.8 kernel, my microphone doesn't work. | 21:18 |
| bora1 | It was the Serbian :) | 21:18 |
| PatrickDickey | bobbyz: Isn't winetricks installed automatically with wine anymore? | 21:18 |
| Blacklite_ | On zna da je tvoja majka , u redu. | 21:18 |
| theadmin | melkor: That's not a supported kernel on Ubuntu. | 21:18 |
| bobbyz | PatrickDickey: it might be, I don't know. Apt-get install will be a no-op if it's there already, though | 21:18 |
| Blacklite_ | how is my serbian? | 21:18 |
| PatrickDickey | melkor: Are you using Raring by chance, or did you compile it yourself? | 21:18 |
| melkor | PatrickDickey: neither, I'm using mainline. | 21:18 |
| theadmin | melkor: The kernel for Quantal is 3.5, which is the latest one can support here. | 21:19 |
| bora1 | Keep it be great)) | 21:19 |
| melkor | Is raring going to be 3.7? | 21:19 |

| Blacklite_ | oh. sorry. | 21:22 |
| grex_25 | there are local channels for your languahes | 21:22 |
| Blacklite_ | I'm using konversation, I didn' | 21:22 |
| Blacklite_ | t | 21:22 |
| Blacklite_ | realise. | 21:22 |
| PatrickDickey | Blacklite_: I'll have you know, it was a goat. :P (sarcastic translation of whatever you typed) | 21:22 |
| theadmin | Blacklite_: Nah I'm on quassel but saying for others | 21:22 |
| Blacklite_ | srry everybody with terminal irc clients. | 21:23 |
| Blacklite_ | I meant no harm | 21:23 |
| theadmin | Blacklite_: dumb terminals. Those that kinda break when you give them something they can't read... I don't think they exist anymore | 21:23 |
| theadmin | lol | 21:23 |
| PatrickDickey | Blacklite_: You might be able to do it in ubuntu-offtopic though. | 21:23 |
| theadmin | Whatever, let's get back on topic | 21:23 |
| edd_ | Can someone help me with few issues am having with unbuntu storing shite loads of logs and crashing up my server :S | 21:24 |
| theadmin | edd_: Make sure you have logrotate installed. | 21:24 |
| * PatrickDickey although it's useful to know you can do it (the different languages) so you can direct someone to the right language channel. | 21:24 | |
| edd_ | yeah theadmin i have i even just ran it in the console | 21:25 |
| theadmin | edd_: Hmm... That's odd then, but you can clean out the logs manually (rm -rf /var/log/*) | 21:25 |
| edd_ | Someone said my var/logs is full and i have no idea what do with it as i dont have gui :( | 21:25 |
| PatrickDickey | edd_: along with what theadmin said, I'd install webadmin. You can delete your logs through it, and probably disable logging in some of the applications. | 21:25 |
| edd_ | PatrickDickey: i have webmin | 21:25 |
| edd_ | where is it that would be fantastic | 21:25 |
| PatrickDickey | edd_: I'll look at mine. I know that it has modules like logwatch or similar. And I think in the individual servers, you can disable logging. | 21:26 |
| Blacklite_ | I'm using OpenSUSE, rage at me if you dare | 21:26 |
| edd_ | Ok thanks PatrickDickey this is 5th ive fixed it am running out of things to delete here :( and most of wemin gives me errors "Failed to open /etc/webmin/logrotate/version for writing : No space left on device" | 21:27 |
| === King is now known as Guest49581 | ||
| jocelyn | is there a way to upgrade 10.10 apt-get update fails as well as upgrade | 21:28 |
| Blacklite_ | yeah, liveCD - then install | 21:29 |
| Blacklite_ | after backing up, of course | 21:29 |
| theadmin | jocelyn: Not really... You'd have to update to 11.04 but that's EOL too so not much you can do. | 21:29 |
| theadmin | jocelyn: So yeah, reinstall | 21:29 |
| PatrickDickey | edd_: What I'm seeing is in logrotate on Webmin, you can force it to clear the logs out now (rotate them). You can look at the individual servers to see how to disable logging. | 21:29 |
| edd_ | ok | 21:29 |
| edd_ | i will delete stuff thne i can access that | 21:29 |
| torpet | hello, is it possible to install ubuntu in uefi-mode while windows 7 installed on a separate disk but uses mbr-partitiongin? | 21:30 |
| torpet | will the uefi bootloader be able to chainload the conventional windows-install? | 21:30 |
| theadmin | torpet: Sure, why not. | 21:30 |
| jocelyn | eek is there a repo i can just grab dep files from | 21:30 |
| theadmin | torpet: Ah, as for the bootloader I'm not sure. But it's on a different HD. | 21:30 |
| theadmin | jocelyn: For 10.10? No, because it's EOL. They all were taken down. | 21:30 |
| edd_ | PatrickDickey: where about is this | 21:31 |
| zzzev | hey all, i'm writing a bash script to set up a basic set of software non-interactively on a fresh ubuntu install, but i run into a grub error (loses track of original install location) that requires me to interactively set the install devices for grub. i can interactively fix the problem by running dpkg-reconfigure grub-pc, but im looking for a non-interactive way to set it (i know it needs to be /dev/sda) | 21:31 |
| PatrickDickey | edd, you have to install the module (Log File Rotation) in webmin. Then it's under System. | 21:31 |
| theadmin | zzzev: Can't you just use "grub-install /dev/sda") | 21:31 |
| ikonia | edd_: I assume you know webmin is not supported on ubuntu ? | 21:31 |
| edd_ | it is | 21:32 |
| jocelyn | theadmin, ok thanks | 21:32 |
| edd_ | Am using it... | 21:32 |
| ikonia | edd_: it's not | 21:32 |
| ikonia | !webmin | edd_ | 21:32 |
| ubottu | edd_: webmin is no longer supported in Debian and Ubuntu. It is not compatible with the way that Ubuntu packages handle configuration files, and is likely to cause unexpected issues with your system. | 21:32 |
| zzzev | @theadmin: no, unfortunately that doesn't seem to set it permanently, i believe the comment on this answer refers to what i need to do, but its not descriptive: http://askubuntu.com/a/91644 | 21:32 |
| edd_ | :S | 21:32 |
| Blacklite_ | !derp | 21:32 |
| edd_ | worked for 12 weeks? | 21:32 |
| edd_ | Now its not :/ | 21:32 |
| theadmin | edd_: The fact that it works doesn't mean it's supported. | 21:32 |
| theadmin | !wfm | edd_ | 21:32 |
| ubottu | edd_: Common Sense: Just because you can, does not mean you should (and especially recommend to others). Think before you do. "Works for me" does not mean it is ok. The latest version of everything is not always useful if you aim for stability. Please see http://geekosophical.net/random/worksforme/ | 21:32 |
| edd_ | Ok | 21:33 |
| edd_ | il look into it | 21:33 |
| edd_ | for now id like my site back running :S | 21:33 |
| brjc | yo. | 21:34 |
| MartynKe- | hey so I'm editing my ipaddress in the interface conf fileā¦how do i save it? | 21:34 |
| MartynKe- | i set it to static, but i need to save it now | 21:34 |
| ikonia | MartynKe-: it's just a text file, how you save it will depend on your editor | 21:34 |
| PatrickDickey | edd what I'd say to do right now, is go into /var/log and either delete everything in it, or keep the most recent version of every log. | 21:34 |
| ikonia | MartynKe-: are you using a desktop ? | 21:34 |
| MartynKe- | cli | 21:35 |
| MartynKe- | i just Worte my dns servers in and now i need to save. | 21:35 |
| ikonia | MartynKe-: so you don't have a desktop running ? | 21:35 |
| PatrickDickey | MartynKe-: what editor are you using? vi, nano, emacs, etc? | 21:35 |
| theadmin | MartynKe-: What editor are you using? Depends. In vim, it's :w, in nano, it's Ctrl-O, in emacs it's Ctrl-X Ctrl-S. In editors for mortals, it's Ctrl-S. | 21:35 |
| MartynKe- | pretty svim | 21:35 |
| edd_ | PatrickDickey: i only have console and webmin | 21:35 |
| MartynKe- | vim | 21:35 |
| PatrickDickey | Probably :w then MartynKe- | 21:35 |
| MartynKe- | that just types a : and a "w" ? | 21:36 |
| zzzev | sorry to bump the same question; but can anyone explain what the comment on this answer means (the debconf bit)? http://askubuntu.com/a/91644 | 21:36 |
| theadmin | MartynKe-: ...exit the insert mode | 21:36 |
| theadmin | MartynKe-: Escape. | 21:36 |
| PatrickDickey | edd, cd /var/log ls -l (to see what's there) and either rm -f *.* or start deleting manually. | 21:36 |
| MartynKe- | says recording | 21:36 |
| theadmin | MartynKe-: Don't use vim unless you know how... You could ruin some stuff. It takes learning. | 21:36 |
| ikonia | MartynKe-: why are you using a server install if you can't use the basics of a text editor | 21:36 |
| ikonia | MartynKe-: why not run this on a desktop with helpful tools ? | 21:37 |
| theadmin | ikonia: vim isn't exactly your common text editor, eh | 21:37 |
| MartynKe- | i got it. thanks | 21:37 |
| * PatrickDickey prefers nano over vim and emacs... But has to get used to vim for a class next Fall. | 21:37 | |
| theadmin | PatrickDickey: Here's a good way to learn: http://vim-adventures.com (needs a GUI browser with sane HTML5 support, though) | 21:38 |
| edd_ | PatrickDickey: no such directory /var/logs | 21:38 |
| PatrickDickey | MartynKe-: for future reference when it comes to vim, you could go to linux-tips.com and download their graphical cheat sheet for it. | 21:38 |
| PatrickDickey | edd_: try /var/log I didn't get my 23 hours of sleep today, so my brain is a bit foggy. :) | 21:39 |
| MartynKe- | thanks patrick!! | 21:39 |
| edd_ | tah | 21:39 |
| edd_ | now ill delete it all | 21:39 |
| edd_ | balls to it | 21:39 |
| PatrickDickey | theadmin: would Google Chrome be sane enough for the site? | 21:39 |
| theadmin | PatrickDickey: Most certainly :) | 21:39 |
| YokoBR | guys, i'm downgrading to 12.04 to support amd legacy drivers.. xserver is 1.12 on 12.04, right? | 21:39 |
| * PatrickDickey really wonders if I'm sane enough for the site. :P | 21:40 | |
| ikonia | YokoBR: you need to re-install | 21:40 |
| ikonia | YokoBR: you can't downgrade | 21:40 |
| theadmin | YokoBR: "X -version" tells me "X.Org X Server 1.11.3" | 21:40 |
| edd_ | PatrickDickey: i think it did it mate :S | 21:40 |
| YokoBR | ikonia, yeah, i mean reinstall | 21:40 |
| edd_ | this is 6th time ive fixed it though | 21:40 |
| ikonia | YokoBR: that's fine, just checking | 21:40 |
| roland- | 12.04 has gnome 2 or 3? | 21:40 |
| theadmin | roland-: GNOME 3 with the !unity shell. | 21:41 |
| ThinkT510 | roland-: 3 | 21:41 |
| YokoBR | ikonia, it's such a shame that amd won't realease legacy drivers for 1.13 above | 21:41 |
| roland- | :( | 21:41 |
| PatrickDickey | edd_: next time, before you delete everything, find out what all is logging there. And then google the different applications to find out how to disable logging. Or how to limit the size of the logs. | 21:41 |
| edd_ | ok mate thanks | 21:41 |
| ThinkT510 | roland-: 10.04 is the only currently supported lts with gnome2 (and that desktop support ends next month) | 21:41 |
| edd_ | am checking virtual server now to see what i can turn off | 21:42 |
| theadmin | roland-: Ubuntu has an official Xfce version, called Xubuntu. It's extremely similar to Gnome2, try it. | 21:42 |
| roland- | i like xfce | 21:42 |
| sidm | quit | 21:42 |
| PatrickDickey | YokoBR: It's a case of they claim that they've maxxed out the graphics cards capabilities. In reality, it's also a case of "We want you to buy new cards." | 21:42 |
| edd_ | Log file is empty | 21:42 |
| ikonia | PatrickDickey: I'd appreciate you not making things up about vendors | 21:42 |
| edd_ | am getting the hang of this | 21:42 |
| * PatrickDickey likes LXDE also | 21:42 | |
| roland- | used it before, but instead of xubuntu I can use ubuntu minimal and apt-get install xfce4 right? | 21:42 |
| edd_ | TY PatrickDickey | 21:42 |
| edd_ | tytytytytytytytytyty <3 | 21:43 |
| FloodBot1 | edd_: Please don't flood; use http://paste.ubuntu.com to paste; don't use Enter as punctuation. | 21:43 |
| ThinkT510 | roland-: yes | 21:43 |
| theadmin | roland-: That works too. | 21:43 |
| edd_ | PatrickDickey: the flootbot told me i should thank you like this http://paste.ubuntu.com/5641497/ :) | 21:44 |
| PatrickDickey | Sorry, I should have put IMO after my comment. As, the second portion was purely my opinion. | 21:44 |
| ikonia | PatrickDickey: there is no need to make any comment | 21:44 |
| PatrickDickey | edd_: Not a problem. Of course you need to thank a few others. They were pointing you in that direction as well. | 21:45 |
| phenrique | i want recover two HD volumes of my computer. It had windows. What is the best linux distribution for do it? | 21:45 |
| edd_ | True, thanks everyone else also :P | 21:45 |
| AdvoWork | anyone got any ideas why when i'm copying lots of files from an iphone 4 to my local drive, it hangs after a while and stops transfering? can't work out whats going on.. | 21:45 |
| ikonia | phenrique: any should work fine | 21:45 |
| edd_ | Lets hope fix 6 fixes the issue | 21:45 |
| AdvoWork | im using ubuntu 12.10 | 21:46 |
| PatrickDickey | edd_: Eventually you'll have to clean out the directory again. You'll want to go through the individual applications though, and disable logging if you don't need it. | 21:47 |
| melkor | AdvoWork: what are you using to copy? | 21:47 |
| edd_ | ok well am in webmin now it looks like everythign is making logs haha | 21:47 |
| phenrique | ikonia, is there any small distribuition what mount all partitions? | 21:48 |
| ThinkT510 | !webmin | edd_ | 21:48 |
| ubottu | edd_: webmin is no longer supported in Debian and Ubuntu. It is not compatible with the way that Ubuntu packages handle configuration files, and is likely to cause unexpected issues with your system. | 21:48 |
| ikonia | phenrique: well, any of the ubuntu based ones should work | 21:48 |
| edd_ | ubottu: what can i use instead? | 21:48 |
| ubottu | I am only a bot, please don't think I'm intelligent :) | 21:48 |
| AdvoWork | melkor, just in nautilis. i plug the phone in, it mounts the phone, lists as afc or acf:// or something similar and then i go into it, then dcim and try and copy the photos | 21:48 |
| edd_ | fml | 21:48 |
| PatrickDickey | edd_: You could google webmin alternatives and see which ones are supported on ubuntu, if any. | 21:49 |
| edd_ | will do | 21:49 |
| edd_ | for now ill jsut get by on this | 21:49 |

| xodiak | Just installed ubuntu 12.10. Graphics experience seems okay mostly. Until I move a window around the desktop. Very jerky and kind of laggish. Any ideas? | 21:49 |
| ikonia | edd_: please calm down | 21:50 |
| edd_ | PatrickDickey: awstats? this is probs the cause there is masses of info | 21:50 |
| PatrickDickey | edd_: It's an automated script. They do that, because it can disrupt the chat room. And depending on how the flooding is done, it can knock people out of the room. | 21:50 |
| jhutchins_wk | edd_: logrotate should be installed and should prevent the log directory from filling up. You might want to look at why it's not. Possibly something webmin messed um. | 21:50 |
| jhutchins_wk | messed up. | 21:50 |
| edd_ | Oh ill save tha tin note pad and get on that tomoz i forgot about that pat did say | 21:51 |

| AdvoWork | nou, nothing, i even turned off auto lock incase it was that, ill check dmseg | 21:54 |
| PatrickDickey | edd_ you might look at Zentyal http://www.zentyal.org It's a Small Business Server that runs on Ubuntu. Kind of a Microsoft Small Business Server replacement. | 21:54 |

| onicrom | does anyone know of a way to set crontab to use a different timezone (and yes ive googled none of the methods mentioned work) . i used to use fcron but that is no longer part of ubuntu (im using 12.04) | 21:59 |
| ikonia | onicrom: it has to use the system time | 22:00 |
| NP-Completeass | anyone able to tell me what the size of their kernel is? | 22:00 |
| ikonia | NP-Completeass: why ? | 22:00 |
| NP-Completeass | ikonia: we were discussing kernel sizes in #gentoo, and I wanted a comparison with another distro | 22:01 |
| ikonia | NP-Completeass: it really doesn't matter, as it depends on the version, the modular kernels are not a good example | 22:01 |
| onicrom | ikonia: but i dont want it to use the system time, the system time is UTC and we need a particular job to run in a timezone with DST | 22:02 |
| ikonia | onicrom: that's not going to happen | 22:02 |
| onicrom | ikonia: i could make it happen with some hacks but im trying to avoid that | 22:02 |
| myersg | how do I uninstall a .deb from the terminal? | 22:02 |
| ikonia | onicrom: no, you can't, | 22:02 |
| NP-Completeass | ikonia: aww, you mean you won't just ls -l /boot for me? :) | 22:02 |
| Giora | dpkg -r | 22:02 |
| PatrickDickey | Danikar: you could type fglrxinfo into a terminal. It will give you detailed information about the card and driver. | 22:02 |
| myersg | danke | 22:02 |
| melkor | NP-Completeass: from 143M to 160M for 3.8.4 | 22:03 |
| onicrom | ikonia: yes yes i can (shell variable plus that `at` command) | 22:03 |
| ikonia | melkor: still use apt-get | 22:03 |
| NP-Completeass | thank you melkor. | 22:03 |
| onicrom | ikonia: the other less hacky version is to just install fcron from source | 22:03 |
| ikonia | onicrom: cron doesn't run from a user shell | 22:03 |
| ikonia | onicrom: installing fcron from source won't change the fact that it uses the system clock | 22:03 |
| Danikar | PatrickDickey, command not found. is there a package i need to install first? | 22:03 |
| onicrom | ikonia: with fcron you can specify the timezone to execute the job and i used this successfully in ubuntu 10.04 | 22:04 |
| melkor | NP-Completeass: that is the /lib/modules/linux-XX sizes. | 22:04 |
| ikonia | onicrom: sorry, I can't see how that can work | 22:04 |
| onicrom | ikonia: why not? | 22:04 |
| onicrom | i can | 22:04 |
| ikonia | fair enough | 22:04 |
| Cache_Money | Why didn't this cronjob run successfully? http://pastie.org/7094228 | 22:05 |
| ikonia | Cache_Money: python normally isn't in /usr/local/bin | 22:05 |
| PatrickDickey | Danikar: sudo lshw -C video it will tell you what driver is installed | 22:05 |
| ikonia | Cache_Money: you are also not using absoloute paths | 22:05 |
| onicrom | Cache_Money: is the test.py executable? | 22:06 |

| Heavensrevenge | i just have no idea where the configuration file of kdm is to prevent autologin into the desktop env | 22:12 |

| bobbyz | Cache_Money: you're welcome. What happens is that when the file is marked executable, then your shell will execute that first shebang line, feeding the file name as an argument | 22:20 |

| PatrickDickey | Exilepilot: feel free to ask your question. If somoene can help you, they will. | 22:21 |
| Exilepilot | Firstly, when I logged in I had an error "ICEAuthority"... something about updating, I then tried to log in using ALT + CTRL + F1 and check but I relized my home folder was encrypted but I have no idea what the passphrase is because I can't remember setting it up. Now I am in a mega head ache, I tried making another account and now when I login it logs me out automatically. FYI: Using IRC in guest account. | 22:21 |
| Exilepilot | Does that make any sense, if not I'll try explain a little clearer. | 22:22 |
| PatrickDickey | Exilepilot: when you tried logging in via CTRL+Alt+F1, did it prompt you for a password to access your home folder? | 22:23 |
| Apellizcos | algun espaƱol por aqui | 22:23 |
| Exilepilot | Nope | 22:23 |

| PatrickDickey | Exilepilot: were you able to get into your home directory? If you tried, I mean. | 22:25 |
| Jpmh | Exilepilot: your home folder is not writable, this is a permissions thing. Just boot in recovery mode, then when on as the root change te permits of /home/yourUser to 700 amd re-boot | 22:25 |
| Exilepilot | Jpmh: Change the permits of /home/? (I am a noob) How | 22:26 |

| Cache_Money | bobbyz: I'm pretty sure I did everything correct http://pastie.org/7094346 Still, I couldn't get the cronjob to run successfully | 22:28 |
| ejv | !anyone | uvala | 22:28 |
| ubottu | uvala: A high percentage of the first questions asked in this channel start with "Does anyone/anybody..." Why not ask your next question (the real one) and find out? See also !details, !gq, and !poll. | 22:28 |
| Cache_Money | is the command in the cron table correct? | 22:28 |
| Exilepilot | Right, I'll try it | 22:28 |
| Exilepilot | What does it do exactly, if I may ask :) | 22:29 |
| * PatrickDickey is thinking that the passphrase was your login password. | 22:29 | |

| janisozaur_ | how do i disable aptd starting on every boot? | 22:29 |
| ikonia | uvala: what is not clear about that ? | 22:29 |
| uvala | ikonia, I dont know why this appears. I use the same program with the same settings for months now, it happened only after recent reinstallation | 22:30 |
| ikonia | uvala: look at the error "cannot get recipents key...." | 22:30 |
| bobbyz | Cache_Money: It probably executed but wrote to your home directory now. You have 'with open(<relativepath>)' which is going to open with the current working directory as /home/ubuntu when that script is run | 22:31 |
| uvala | yes, thing is, this appeared when I tested it between my own accounts, which were not encrypted | 22:31 |
| uvala | ikonia, yes, thing is, this appeared when I tested it between my own accounts, which were not encrypted | 22:31 |
| ikonia | uvala: it thinks they are, checking your settings | 22:31 |
| Cache_Money | bobbyz: oh, you're right | 22:32 |
| uvala | ikonia, but nowhere in the settings, including the privacy section, is any encryption. it cant be, because the whole system has been newly installed | 22:32 |
| ikonia | uvala: it thinks it is | 22:32 |
| ikonia | uvala: also check the smtp server it's sending to - that may require encryption | 22:33 |
| bobbyz | Cache_Money: Also a couple more pointers. First, you can 'tail -f /var/log/syslog' and see when cron jobs are executing (marked CRON). Second, if a job outputs anything to stdout or stderr (the latter being the case when something blows up), your user is mailed the output | 22:33 |
| YokoBR | guys, please.... I've installed 12.04, but says that xserver is 1.13... i need 1.12 | 22:33 |
| ikonia | YokoBR: you can't have it | 22:34 |
| bobbyz | Cache_Money: You can use the 'mail' program to see the local mail that was delivered to you from the cronjob | 22:34 |
| uvala | ikonia, it is the same smtp server I've been using. besides, it worked between another pair of accounts of mine | 22:34 |
| YokoBR | ikonia, so i can't have my gpu running correctely | 22:34 |
| ikonia | uvala: ok, so the problem is your config for your accounts then, if it's working for others | 22:34 |
| PatrickDickey | YokoBR: Which grahpics card do you have? | 22:34 |
| Cache_Money | bobbyz: would I add the tail command to the end of the command within the cron table? | 22:34 |
| bobbyz | Cache_Money: no, that's a command you would run from a new terminal. It will just output the contents of the log file as they are udpated | 22:35 |
| Cache_Money | ok | 22:35 |
| YokoBR | PatrickDickey, Hybrid HD 4250 and HD 6310 | 22:35 |
| uvala | ikonia, I changed nothing with my account settings, either | 22:35 |

| PatrickDickey | YokoBR: Have you looked at the information on https://help.ubuntu.com/community/BinaryDriverHowto/ATI by chance? | 22:36 |
| YokoBR | PatrickDickey, mine is muxless, so switcheroo won't work. Also, ati legacy driver needs xserver 1.12, and ubuntu's 1.13. | 22:37 |

| PatrickDickey | Exilepilot: just tell me if it's your username or not? It should be the same all the way across the line. | 22:53 |

| Exilepilot | Yes, but does when I login to the account it say's "Perhaps you should try 'ecryptfs-mount-private'", when I do this it asks me for a passphrase that I don't have? So, changing permissions will override this? | 22:58 |
| PatrickDickey | Exilepilot: That, I'm not sure about. I'll do a little more digging. | 22:59 |
| PatrickDickey | Exilepilot: did you change your password by chance, or install Gnome 3? | 23:03 |
| Exilepilot | PatrickDickey: I forgot to add a little more context, yes I did change my password this was because I couldn't login via ALT+CTRL+F1 | 23:05 |
| Exilepilot | I changed this via root (recovery mode) | 23:07 |
| PatrickDickey | Exilepilot: then I think you need to do sudo chown -R ricky:ricky /home/ricky In the searching, I've seen it as sudo chown ricky:ricky /home/ricky also. | 23:09 |
| Exilepilot | PatrickDickey: As root? | 23:09 |
| PatrickDickey | Exilepilot: If you can do it as root, then don't put sudo before it. Otherwise no, you'll have to do it as an administrator though. | 23:10 |
| YokoBR | guys.... i'm almost installing 10.04 | 23:10 |
| ikonia | you should not be root | 23:10 |
| ikonia | the root account is locked | 23:10 |
| YokoBR | i can't live with this anymore... i need my amd drivers | 23:10 |
| PatrickDickey | ikonia, he'd have to boot back into the Recovery Console to do it as root, correct? | 23:11 |
| YokoBR | and as it seems, 10.04 is my only option. | 23:11 |
| ikonia | PatrickDickey: I've not been following, I don't know what you are trying to do, I do know you should not be root though | 23:11 |
| PatrickDickey | ikonia: Exilepilot is logged in on the Guest Account. He's getting an ICEAuthority not updating error when he logs in under his account, and it logs him back out. | 23:12 |
| ikonia | PatrickDickey: so just delete the authority file | 23:12 |
| ikonia | it will re-create when he logs in | 23:12 |
| YokoBR | PatrickDickey, ikonia, do you guys think i should downgrade to 10.04? | 23:12 |
| PatrickDickey | ikonia: also, he changed the password for his account from a recovery console. And he has an encrypted home. | 23:12 |
| ikonia | YokoBR: what ? | 23:12 |
| YokoBR | ikonia, i need to install that ati drivers.. and i need xserver 1.12 | 23:13 |
| ikonia | PatrickDickey: well that just sounds like a pointless mess, another example of using encyption when there is no real need and now having a problem | 23:13 |
| ikonia | YokoBR: so ? | 23:13 |
| YokoBR | ikonia, do you think i should install 10.04? | 23:13 |
| tarqua | can someone tell me how to get xorg to ignore EDID in ubuntu 12.10? every page i look at has a different answer | 23:13 |
| ikonia | YokoBR: you should use whatever meets your requirements | 23:13 |
| YokoBR | ikonia, thank you, sir | 23:13 |
| PatrickDickey | YokoBR: In the link that you were looking at (the one I gave you also), if you use their third party ppa (Yes, I know that's not supported here), it downgrades your X Server to 1.12. | 23:14 |
| ikonia | YokoBR: apply common sense, your card is in legacy support....it doesn't work in later versions either a.) update your card b.) use an older system c.) get a custom xorg build | 23:14 |
| YokoBR | patrickdickey, i've downgraded, but got a black screen. | 23:14 |
| YokoBR | ikonia, it's a laptop, i can't upgrade. The custom build crashes everything, leaving me a black screen. | 23:15 |
| PatrickDickey | YokoBR: Did you do a clean install of 12.04? I'm asking because originall you were on 12.10 right? | 23:15 |
| ikonia | YokoBR: ok, so that leaves "b" | 23:15 |
| YokoBR | PatrickDickey, clean install. | 23:15 |
| YokoBR | ikonia, sure | 23:15 |
| ikonia | YokoBR: problem solved, | 23:15 |
| YokoBR | damn you ati. :( | 23:16 |
| Exilepilot | PatrickDickey: I'm pretty sure there's a way I can decrypt my home folder from live CD, if so I can retrieve all the 'useful' data and do a clean install. Also learn from my mistakes 'encrying home folder' | 23:16 |
| Exilepilot | Brb | 23:17 |
| Exilepilot | lol | 23:17 |
