[00:00] Starting today, synaptic, Ubuntu Software Center, Software Up To Date and apt-get all crash. When I try to send a problem report, that crashes, too. Any ideas? This is on Precise running on an AMD 64 which was up to date as of earlier this week. [00:01] DanEngholm: have you tried sudo aptitude install -f in terminal? [00:01] I didn't know about that. Will try now. [00:02] DanEngholm: make a "sudo apt-get update &&sudo apt-get upgrade" in a terminal and show that in a pastebin please [00:02] aptitude is not installed and trying to apt-get install it leads to the expected core dump. [00:02] k1l_: the && doesn't work in the newer versions of ubuntu anymore [00:02] linux389: that is not true [00:03] k1l_: well, when i try that on ubuntu 12.10 it stops after update [00:03] The apt-get update seems to have fixed the problem. === Vinsect_ is now known as Vinsect [00:03] linux389: it still works. then there is some issue with your system [00:04] That was easy. Thanks! [00:04] k1l_: its been bugging me, can you help me fix it? [00:05] Hi, I could really use some help getting ubuntu to talk to my android phone. [00:05] I'm finding basic stuff like file transfer pretty hard to figure out [00:06] k1l_: Thank you for your help. [00:06] anyone know how to fix the "sudo poweroff now" not turning off my desktop? I am on ubuntu 12.10 and the dual boot shuts down fine in windows xp. [00:07] oi maria joaquina [00:08] morning all. I am installing True Combat Elite, which requires libstdc++5. The thread recommends installing it from ubuntu packages as it isnt in the repos. I have never done this before. Any advice or common mess ups i need to be aware of before i do this? [00:08] Someone knows why If I execute dungeons defender it doesn't start? [00:08] and is this the correct version for 12.04 http://packages.ubuntu.com/oneiric/libstdc++5 [00:09] http://ubuntuforums.org/showthread.php?t=864085 [00:09] Snowie: maybe "find /usr -name libstdc++" then symbolic link to libstdc++5; that is done with "sudo ln -s " [00:10] Snowie, the correct version for 12.04 would be http://packages.ubuntu.com/precise/libstdc++5 [00:10] linux389: ok, will try. [00:10] PatrickDickey: ahh, yes, pangolin not ocelot. duh === Dave is now known as Dave2 === ice is now known as Guest46898 [00:12] Soru, without any error messages, I don't think anyone could be positive. [00:13] linux389: nothing found. i dont think they use this same library anymore, or is there another package i might be missing that includes this. apt-get install libstd++ just returns info on broken packages [00:13] PatrickDickey: This is why I don't know what to search on the internet for help... And there is zero support from the humble bundle.. [00:13] Snowie: you could try "apt-cache search libstdc++" or without the ++ [00:13] when I use 2 screens, the first screen is always blinking from time to time... [00:14] Soru_: when you try starting it, what happens exactly? [00:15] linux389: looks like version 6 is current. [00:15] Snowie: you could symbolic link to your libstdc++.so.6 to libstdc++.so.5 in the same directory as the libstdc++.so.6; that is with the "sudo ln -s " [00:15] linux389: doh. yeah, it's allready there. the other recommendation was to create a symlink. im sure i searched for it. [00:16] linux389: yeah, cheers [00:16] anyone know how to fix the "sudo poweroff now" not turning off my desktop? I am on ubuntu 12.10 and the dual boot shuts down fine in windows xp. also the double ampersand is not working to join commands in terminal, any help on that is appreciated [00:17] PatrickDickey: Well, first of all, sorry I'm on Kubuntu (trying and so) but I'm here because there is more activity here. When I click to the icon, it seems like it's starting to execute the game, but I switch to the process monitor, It does not shows nothing with the name "dungeons defenders" and nothing happens after. I don't know if my english is good, sorry. [00:17] thanks guys [00:21] hi [00:22] Soru_: It doesn't appear to be compatible for LInux yet. I'm going on the assumption that you're playing the Steam version, right? [00:22] ln -s /usr/lib/libstdc++.so.6 /usr/lib/libstdc++.so.5 ?? are these the correcl locations. when i look in usr/lib, there is no such file/folder. [00:23] if you use xbmcbuntu, can you exit to just ubuntu (no xvmc)? [00:23] hi! [00:23] when lm-sensor installed and u do sensors the temp1 temp2 and temp3 will those be the same on all computers ? [00:23] PatrickDickey: No, I've downloaded it from the humble bundle website. The installer is a mojo.run file [00:26] I keep getting this whenever I try to connect through modem manager "System policy prevents unlocking or controlling the mobile broadband device" [00:26] do you guys know how to solve this? [00:27] I did an update from update manager to linux-generic-2.6.32.46.53 upon restart I am at a login prompt and cannot login I have to use old kernel to boot..any known problem or fix [00:28] Snowie, there is usually a reason for the different numbers at the end. programs may not work correctly if you do that [00:30] Soru_: I'm not able to find anything. I'm sorry. Hopefully someone else can help you out. [00:31] PatrickDickey: No problem, thanks for trying, I appreciate it very much! [00:33] mephisto_: One suggestion that I could make is to check your privleges in Users and Groups. You might need to have Use Modems checked, or Connect through modems. [00:34] PatrickDickey, thanks a lot buddy :) [00:35] Not a problem. Hope it helps. [00:38] exit [00:41] I did an update from update manager to linux-generic-2.6.32.46.53 upon restart I am at a login prompt and cannot login I have to use old kernel to boot..any known problem or fix [00:43] i need help with ubuntu [00:44] when i try to install it the installer crashes [00:45] anyone here? [00:46] hi, I need some help fixing my ati drivers. I've just got a black screen with a terminal in the top corner. I've tried purging the fglrx* packages and reinstalling, but when I run amdconfig --initial, i get a command not found. trying to use failsafex in recovery mode doesn't work either [00:47] I wonder what IRC client doesn't show a room count. [00:50] carpcow does the installer give you an error when it crashes? [00:50] I'm attempting a triple monitor setup with my system. I currently have a nVidia 9800 GTX+ and an onboard Intel GMA 3100. I would like to have all three screens active with either a combination of twinview and xinerama or just xinerama across all three screens. The problem is when I enable this X constatly crashes and restarts. any ideas or thoughts on where I should look/start? [00:50] it says i/o error [00:51] carpcow, no guarantees but I had that with a hard drive that was in the process of dying. Are you on a LiveCD right now? [00:51] no [00:52] i was trying to install ubuntu on microsoft hyper-v [00:52] which is a virtual machine thing [00:52] Are you on the computer right now though? And if so, what operating system are you on? [00:52] windows but ubuntu is on the vm' === Flynn_ is now known as Flynn_away [00:54] Which version of Windows? I ask that, because I'm googling this, and see entries for Windows 8 and Windows Server 2008 R2. [00:54] server 2012 [00:54] im thinking maybe the iso didn't download correctly? [00:55] i have a bad connection [00:55] carpcow: crc, md5? [00:55] carpcow that could be. I don't remember off-hand how to check the md5sum of the iso on Windows, but you might want to do that. [00:55] dunno how to check the md5 sum on windows [00:56] ok well thanks for the help [00:56] carpcow: cygwin + md5 installed :) [00:57] carpcow: http://www.linuxquestions.org/linux/answers/LQ_ISO/Checking_the_md5sum_in_Windows how to check md5sum in Windows.

If not Google is your friend. ;-) [00:58] i use startpage though but yes === JoFo_ is now known as JoFo [00:58] can i run hurd in ubuntu [00:58] ? [01:02] xcvt01_: The short answer is "no". The longer answer is you can run it as a virtual machine maybe through QEMU. http://askubuntu.com/questions/37945/can-i-install-gnu-hurd-in-ubuntu [01:02] Hello, I have an asus eeepc 900 and I am trying to control the fans ... the unit seems very hot and doesn't seem to be turning them on. I have looked around the forums but I cant seem to find anything that helps. Thanks in advance. [01:03] tnx [01:03] xcvt01_: No problem. Sorry. [01:03] i know that i should run it under vm [01:03] anyone with a lenovo g580? [01:03] i have try a debian version but no graphical interface [01:04] !eeepc | tkemp this might get you going.

The Ubuntu EeePC Channel is #ubuntu-eeepc , main EeePC discussion in #eeepc [01:04] anyone with a lenovo g580? [01:05] xcvt01_: I'm not familiar enough with the hurd project to give you a solid answer. But, I'd assume that if Gnome or one of the other Desktop environments was available, you'd be able to install them. [01:05] fluo123: Not here, but what's the issue that you're having? We may be able to help anyhow. [01:05] Thanks PatrickDickey [01:05] tkemp: no problem. I hope you're able to get the fans running. [01:05] just to see if its a good pc for ubuntu === ericab_away is now known as ericab [01:06] indecise between it and mint [01:06] yeah tnx i will search for this may be i'll help some one in the future tnx for ur help [01:07] do you think ubuntu is secure out of the box? like for safe browsing? === DG[Desk] is now known as DarG === DarG is now known as DarkG [01:08] When I do sudo apt-get update I get errors: http://paste.ubuntu.com/5641925/ [01:08] how can one be sure he is not under attack/ not intercepted [01:08] I've just upgraded to Ubuntu 12.10 and I really wish I hadn't. I've unloaded most of the shopping channel but can't get rid of the price tag on suggested apps. What do I need to uninstall to get rid of this? [01:10] how would I restore my repositories to default? or is there another way to fix it? [01:11] any help? [01:11] hey, is there a way to get actual mac-style alt-tab/alt-` instead of an unholy hybrid of mac and windows? [01:12] bezrf: buy a mac [01:12] benzrf: teach me not to tab - buy a mac :) [01:13] okay, then can I get genuine windows-style alt-tab? [01:13] I just dislike the hybrid [01:13] Install XP? [01:13] * benzrf sighs [01:13] benzrf: first what desktop are you using [01:13] benzrf: they all have different methods of configuring and different styles of "alt tab" [01:14] fluo123: Yes I do. (Ubuntu secure). I think it's only as secure as you make it. If you really want secure, either don't go online, or use a Live CD to browse. [01:15] PatrickDickey: but liveCDs are not up to date. [01:15] PatrickDickey: I cant see how live cd's are more secure, if anything they are less secure. Although they do give you more privacy maybe [01:15] Sorry benzrf. I'd help if I could. I came here for help too. It's been a long time since I bothered with irc. Now I remember why. Most of the users are dicks [01:15] fluo123: If you don't mind the extra click here and there, setting your browser plugins to click-to-play by default is always a good idea as well [01:15] briaman: useful input there ive allready asked waht desktop hes on still waiting for response [01:16] fluo123: then you can worry a lot less about the most recent flash/java/whatever vulnerability [01:16] mJayk: and fluo123 I mentioned Live CD's because once you reboot anything that you viewed, passwords that you used, or any viruses that may have infected the environment are gone. Like I said, to be truly secure, you'd have to stay offline. [01:17] bobbyz:are you talking about no-Ads, noscript, etc...? bleach bit isnt enough if you browse a secure (https) site? [01:17] PatrickDickey: that depends how you set it up, but I've always thought Live CD's being more secure was a myth becaues they are older and have older "holes" ? [01:18] fluo123: I mean both chrome/chromium and firefox support an option to display plugin divs as grey boxes that require you to click them before they do anything [01:18] PatrickDickey:yeah offline. but that isnt an option anymore. or else its just a brick [01:18] hey. anyone with a toshiba laptop where the entire usb subsystem is shut down when one plugs in their ipad? [01:19] fluo123: it prevents drive-by compromises where a site attempts to load a crafted java or flash applet that can cause system compromises [01:20] bobbyz: yes. but if you run bleachbit and then go only to a secure https site that has not been compromised, you dont need the java/script blockers [01:21] hi [01:22] Doesn't Bleachbit just clean out your computer? I mean like your caches and other stuff? [01:22] Hi Peyam [01:22] I used a alias matlab ='/usr/local/...' in .bashrc [01:22] fluo123: "site that has not been compromised" <-- That is precisely the issue...it's common these days for hackers to inject malicious tags into otherwise trusted sites [01:22] PatrickDickey:yes. [01:22] and ad networks [01:23] when I try to make a manu in menu manager and write this commend. matlab doesnt appear [01:24] !matlab | Peyam, have you looked at this information? [01:24] Peyam, have you looked at this information?: MATLAB is a high-level language and interactive environment that enables you to perform computationally intensive tasks. More info and install instructions at https://help.ubuntu.com/community/MATLAB [01:26] Any good security program you recomend to keep your pc safe? like, a must-have? [01:27] fluo123: Really don't need one with Ubuntu [01:27] add-ons? [01:28] fluo123: well, you can install ufw for managing iptables firewall rules if you want [01:28] fluo123: load up Software Center, and type in gufw [01:28] it is a very easy to configure firewall application [01:29] itś that thing, when I had windows I could always run spybot+malwarebytes+ccleaner. had avira/avast and had komodo firewall that warned me everytime some suspicious access. In ubuntu I dont have that. dont feel verry aware. [01:29] howdy [01:29] PatrickDickey: can't make it work [01:29] fluo123: No-Script on Firefox. Ad-Block on both Chrome and Firefox. I've got F-Secure installed, but there are other antivirus for Linux (yes, I realize that I don't "need" one). Aside from that, diable Java, and practice good security habits [01:29] Not having much luck :/ PatrickDickey [01:29] fluo123: those are reactive security measures..you're running them after your system has already been compromised...Ubuntu will help you keep from being compromised in the first place [01:29] fluo123: Ubuntu isn't vulnerable to that kind of stuff [01:30] phunyguy:any rule you recommend? [01:30] fluo123: by default it denies incoming traffic, except for what you set as exceptions. [01:30] you have to enable it first, though, [01:30] <|nv|s|b|e> just install noscript and adblock, together, if configured properly should be enough [01:32] fluo123: One other thing I recommend is if you're going to a secure site, don't have any other tabs open. Or use the incognito feature that's in Chrome (and I think firefox also). [01:32] PatrickDickey: Firefox only runs in private browsing mode, it closes the rest while you do that [01:32] I'll try the add ons. by the way, someone said chrome. google is evil now. If it wasnt for the tool for webdev, I'd stick with chromium. [01:33] fluo123: Google isn't any more evil than any other company. [01:33] IMHO. [01:33] how do i make a shared folder [01:33] <|nv|s|b|e> ghostery is a good one for ff also [01:34] harrisr: Are you sharing it with other peple on the same computer, other linux computers, or windows computers? [01:34] PatrickDickey: In the past I would agree with you. now, I dont. [01:34] with openelec [01:35] !nfs | harrisr [01:35] harrisr: nfs is the network file system. See https://help.ubuntu.com/community/SettingUpNFSHowTo for information on installing and configuring NFS. [01:35] if openelec supports it anyway [01:35] one more thing, does chromium has webdev tools/debug just like chrome? [01:35] !samba | harrisr in case openelec only supports this [01:35] harrisr in case openelec only supports this: Samba is the way to cooperate with Windows environments.

(in unity) [01:37] What is the command for starting unity [01:37] it prompts me for password for private key but says invalid passwd [01:37] dirte: generate one with ssh-keygen and copy it to the server [01:37] benzrf: that may not be possible [01:37] moes: unity --replace [01:37] still about security, you don't tell me someone would go into a defcon contest with a 'plain vanilla' ubuntu and not peing pwnd. [01:37] hello. i just upgrade form ubuntu 12.04 to 12.10. now i cant change of desktop environment. when i click in another option in log in screen nothing happens [01:38] mguy: I already created keys on server and locked down server to only accept connection from key :] [01:38] fluo123: If you're going to defcon all bets are off [01:38] animeBoy: do you see the lists of other desktops ?

[01:40] even if you select another one ? [01:40] until you start installing every package under the sun and don't configure anything [01:40] fluo123: with that firewall, it is a good start as it is a very secure implementation of ufw.

It's up to you to choose, depending on your preferences, features you require, and other factors. Do NOT take polls in the channel. If you insist on getting people's opinions, ask BestBot in #ubuntu-bots. [01:58] Bollsaq: I had video problems with the 12.10 kernel as well. Going back to the 3.2 kernel solved them. [01:58] Its plugged in via dual-usb could that be why? [01:58] ubulove: its pretty easy to recover if you don't like a GTK theme.. I went through about 2 dozen before I settled on my current setup...which I LOVE.. =D [01:59] I'm using my camcorder instead of my webcam because of regression bugs [01:59] Bollsaq: The 12.10 kernel being 3.5, that is... [01:59] sometimes regression bugs make me think about ditching Linux entirely. [01:59] dustinspringman: Nice :P btw a silly question I think ! :P If I set ANY theme this would remove my LXDE or LXDE stays whatever I do with themes ? [01:59] SuicideSlade: I'm actually using 13.04 beta, hence the new guvcview and kdenlive and the regression bugs one of them has. [01:59] Bollsaq: Sticking with LTS tends to avoid regression, ime. [02:00] SuicideSlade: not always. My printer used to work in Ubuntu before the LTS back about 2 or 3 years ago. [02:00] SuicideSlade: and again, more regression bugs made that useful printer useless :( [02:00] ubulove: hmm..not 100% on that... I'm using unity+custom toolbar+theme...

[02:01] dustinspringman: lol :P that's what am trying to avoid u know! if i put any themes and lxde is removed an ****** :P [02:01] dustinspringman: am ****** :P [02:01] ubulove: I even have compiz running, even though not all the functions work, the basics do...like cubism and a few other things.. [02:02] Bollsaq: Which kernel is 13.04 using? [02:02] dustinspringman: I'll give it a try for a theme because I don't really like lubuntu's menu icon etc. [02:02] Compiz freezes a lot, that's one thing I love about gnome-shell. No compiz. [02:02] SuicideSlade: I don't know. [02:02] ubulove: I'm pretty sure it wont "remove" anything... you'd just have to go back and re-select the default LXDE interface stuff [02:02] brb.. [02:02] Bollsaq: System info should tell you. [02:02] SuicideSlade: softpedia says 3.8 [02:02] dustinspringman: yeap lxde won't be replaced. themes are just themes (checked it now in google) [02:02] Ah, ok. Out of my depth, then. :-) [02:02] Bollsaq: I'm using compiz on unity, works like a champ. only a few special things won't work.. but I can live without those.. [02:03] SuicideSlade: info doesn't say what kernel [02:03] am registering a nickname here ! yay === ubulove is now known as devilboy [02:03] I need to register mine somehow.

[02:05] Darn.. because when I install a linux system, it's usually really fast. Then all the constant update. makes it laggy and sluggish [02:06] donnie: Perhaps you should inspect what is running by default - maybe startup programs are bogging you down. How much memory do you have? [02:06] donnie: swap space is significantly slower that physical memory. [02:07] Well reason I'm on linux is for my 'older system' which I like... And I have 1gb of ram on a system that all I'm using it for is maybe some videos, music listening, and webbrowsing [02:07] donnie: usually the slowdowns happen with more software being added as they can add some background daemons. Also I have seen bugs with things like /usr/bin/X eating a CPU core [02:08] so that could potentially be happening to you [02:08] donnie: Assuming you're using stock Ubuntu, you might look into a lighter desktop environment, for older hardware. [02:08] phunguy: so how do I find out if that's the case? [02:08] telepathy does it to me also [02:08] SuicideSlade: I'm actually on xubuntu but no one in that room ever talks [02:08] donnie: system-monitor is a good start, as well as an app called htop [02:08] (terminal) [02:09] htop is amazingly useful.

[02:09] then run in said terminal [02:10] devilboy: got it registered. thanks bro :) [02:10] Ok. Have it.. now what? [02:11] donnie is it running?

I know it has been a while since you asked, but not much scrollback has happened. :) If nobody knows, they won't answer. [02:29] what are your symptoms? [02:30] also, 10.04 will be EOL very soon.... [02:30] phunyguy..It brings me to a log in [02:30] moes: text based? [02:30] i am trying to compile http://code.google.com/p/mod-auth-token/ on the latest unbuntu. i am receiving many errors: http://pastebin.com/ZP1Gpgcb [02:30] moes, Are you aware the desktop version of 10.04 is not far from end of life? [02:31] moes: and are you using something like nvidia or ati hardware for video? [02:31] Yes I am aware but I need it until I get 12.04 configured [02:31] nvidia 173 driver [02:32] moes, Cool, just a concern on my part. ;) [02:32] moes, how did you install that driver? [02:32] ls _release -a [02:33] Through the addition driver panel 3 years ago [02:34] moes, try to log in via that console, and 'sudo apt-get install nvidia-173' [02:34] what driver? [02:34] ahh [02:35] I am using the old 2.6.32.45 kernel to speak...I tried install nvidia without any sucess [02:35] moes maybe there is some confusion [02:35] what symptoms are you getting via the new kernel [02:36] have you tried updating your kernel? Seeing if you have options for the nvidea module? [02:36] kjfdskjhfewrjunv: that's the issue. [02:36] I normally auto login in when I try to boot via the new kernel I get a logon prompt [02:36] kjfdskjhfewrjunv: his issue is he can't use the kernel that was just installed via updates on that PC [02:37] moes, define login prompt [02:37] moes, graphical or text [02:37] text [02:37] so X isn't starting [02:37] please pastebin the output of dmesg [02:37] That what it looks like [02:38] Can I remove downloaded debs automatically after installation? [02:38] I don't remember where the X log is stored in 10.04... [02:38] 'apt-get clean all' is not automatic [02:39] Hoyt: sudo apt-get autoclean ? [02:39] no I mean, after `apt-get install XX`, I want the downloaded caches to be removed automatically [02:39] Just like YUM [02:39] xinit? [02:39] hey all [02:40] my wireless craps out all the time, i have to reboot to fix it, anyone have similar problems? (laptop) [02:40] coder7of9: make sure you have automake, autoconf and libtool installed [02:40] If I get through login and get a prompt what do I enter to continue [02:40] dirte: i have.. and i have tried other drivers to resolve [02:40] dirte: actually yes. and a 'sudo service network-manager restart' will also work [02:40] Question why after install of Ubuntu 12.04 lts amd 64 why does it not fully install? [02:40] so you don't have to do a full reboot [02:41] I don't see an option for nvidea when trying to compile kernel 3.8.4-1 using make nconfig [02:41] Snyda: what won't fully install? [02:41] thx phunyguy I saved that cmd :)... i'll have to look for drivers holstein [02:41] Snyda: what is missing, or not happening. [02:42] later all [02:42] IDK I go thru the reformating of the Drive evereything loads up works fine then if turn off I have to reinstall for it to work [02:42] Snyda: not sure I follow [02:42] Good night [02:43] Snyda: what do you mean "if I turn off I have to reinstall".. are you turning it off during the install...? [02:43] installs fine but when I reboot it shows a bunch of stuff loading but never does [02:44] Snyda: does it work after the reinstall? [02:44] hi i have 32 bit firefox and 64 bit chrome, installed 32 bit adobe flash plugin, now if i try to install 64 bit adobe flash plugin- it will remove 32 bit plugin..either one of them can be installed at a time, is there other workarounds to have 32 & 64 bit adobe flash plugins installed? [02:44] no not turning off while install after I reboot after install [02:44] does it stop loading at a particular line of text and just sit there? [02:44] it works so I use it surf net then turn off [02:44] you said you have to reinstall for it to work... does it actually work after that? [02:44] oh i see. [02:44] wont load up again [02:45] that is odd. Is there something potentially that you are installing after the reinstall that breaks it> [02:45] like updates? [02:45] runs thru 10-20 mins woth of stuff then stops [02:46] no not updates like it isn't installing something correctly [02:46] it seems to me [02:46] yea it works after installs fine [02:46] it just I can't bookmark anything [02:46] I can just dont save [02:47] Snyda: you are being really confusing, not trying to offend, but I am having a hard time actually understanding what your issue is. [02:47] you say it seems to work fine, but not really.. [02:47] I dont know what that means. [02:48] hi, all [02:48] asked me if it works fine after 2nd install. I said yes just can't save ne thing [02:48] forget that part [02:48] What can't you save... [02:49] I would like to have a user login to a text terminal console from the lightdm login. Is this possible? [02:49] So I can install as many times as I want run with out install [02:49] I give up. [02:49] what is the best Linux distro linux pinguy or linux easy peasy?? [02:50] !best | linux_pinguy [02:50] linux_pinguy: Usually, there is no single "best" application to perform a given task. It's up to you to choose, depending on your preferences, features you require, and other factors. Do NOT take polls in the channel. If you insist on getting people's opinions, ask BestBot in #ubuntu-bots. [02:50] Snyda, I would check the md5sum of the ISO [02:50] But if I install-reformat,install permeantly using whole hard) I can boot 1 time after install use but on 2nd reboot I get alot of command looking lines [02:50] or cde [02:50] cd === sudokode is now known as phrakture === phrakture is now known as sudokode [02:50] help ya understand? === ________________ is now known as |||||||||||||||| [02:51] yes, but then you said you can't save anything. [02:51] hello how do i give the webserver user write access to the www and every subdir? [02:51] Snyda: that is the part that I am asking for clarification on. [02:53] Erealz: sudo chown -vR www-data:www-data /var/www [02:53] cause I have to reinstall so whats the point. I said at end "I can save but can't use them next boot" something like that [02:53] k ill chk md5 but if that's ok ? after that/ [02:53] Snyda: OK I get it now. [02:53] Snyda: it sounds like that is the issue [02:53] md5? [02:53] yes, corrupt installation media. [02:54] !md5sum [02:54] To verify your Ubuntu ISO image (or other files for which an MD5 checksum is provided), see http://help.ubuntu.com/community/HowToMD5SUM or http://www.linuxquestions.org/linux/answers/LQ_ISO/Checking_the_md5sum_in_Windows [02:54] k thx phunyguy: ill chk it [02:54] is it possible to have a user login from lightdm, but end up with a terminal console instead of a unity or gnome window. Is this possible? [02:55] dud that did phunyguy thanx you just help me install owncloud [02:55] Hey, how do I exec startx on boot? [02:55] Ubuntu is ignoring my .bash_profile [02:56] Erealz: I think if you make the directory the same user/group as the user assigned to web requests in the apache conf. [02:56] peawormsworth: I'm sure it is possible, if you want to delve into the config files of lightdm [02:56] but peawormsworth why are you trying to do this? [02:56] peawormsworth: you can definitely create a session that just launches a terminal (gdm used to include one by default), it's not very pleasant though, might like something like ratpoison better [02:57] start x on login* [02:57] Rad-: something wrong with lightdm? [02:57] phunyguy, what's lightdm [02:57] phunyguy: i just want to make one user forced to go to the terminal... and it will run a text application by default. I would prefer this over requesting the user go to another TTY to login and then switch back to lightdm for usual login. [02:58] Oh. I don't have a display manager right now, apparently. [02:58] Minimal install seemed to give me only a shell [02:58] peawormsworth: the sessions are just .desktop file in /usr/share/xsessions/, just create one and put the Exec= line to whatever you want [02:58] Rad-: yeah, you may want to install lightdm or the like [02:58] let that handle getting X moving for you [02:59] I usually run X and a WM though [02:59] that's it [02:59] trism: I will look into that. I just do not want to bring up unity at all tho. [02:59] Rad-: ok... [02:59] Rad-, since you mention scripts as you might see here there are multiple instances of a startx usage. From a live cd I believe it is f10. http://manpages.ubuntu.com/manpages/hardy/man1/startx.1.html [03:00] I need a break. see you guys in a bit. [03:00] ah. i need to create an .xinitrc lol [03:00] peawormsworth: you don't need too, this is a simple xterm session: http://paste.ubuntu.com/5642088/ [03:00] Btw, thanks. Ubuntu isn't my normal distro but school requires it [03:01] trism: thx [03:03] Rad-, what did you use to do a minimal installation? I'm wondering because I would like to do so. Did you use the mini.iso netinstaller or something else? [03:03] i did install alot of linux distro, easy peasy, pinguy, ubuntu, fedora, vector linux, fedora.. the best , vector linux , pinguy , easy peasy , give it a try [03:03] JosephF, mini.iso. LTS [03:04] cheers [03:04] does ubuntu use rc.d or systemd [03:04] and also. cheers to ubuntu for including dmenu with the i3 metapackage [03:05] still can't get x to start at login though [03:07] I was wondering if someone had some ideas/help. I am new to ubuntu and through the update manager I was told to upgrade to 11.10. I did this and everything seemed ok, but after reboot I don't get a GUI but just a black screen (no signal). Could anyone help me? [03:08] why jonathan did you not install ubuntu 12.04 or 12.10 ?? [03:08] Jonathan__: i would just install 12.04 or newer.. backup and reinstall.. it'll take less time [03:10] I didn't have the option, I hadn't updated for awhile and had a notifcation in the top right of "update needed" and that I couldn't install any critical / new updates until I updated to 11.10. I am very new to ubuntu and just want ot be able to see my desktop. I can get a terminal, but if I boot normally (not recovery) it acts as if the computer never booted (no signal to monitor) [03:10] Rad-, I've only done what you want to do on Arch, but what have you tried doing to get X starting on login? I think you will need to put a line at the bottom of ~/.bash_profile that reads "exec startx". I don't see why it wouldn't work on ubuntu as well. [03:13] JosephF, well i'm actuall an arch user too and my .bash_profile is this "[[ -z $DISPLAY && $XDG_VTNR -eq 1 ]] && exec startx" per the arch wiki. [03:14] Rad-: why not install the desktop version of ubuntu [03:14] Ben64, what do you mean? [03:14] Rad-: instead of going minimal and trying to add gui on top [03:14] trism: i created a new /usr/share/xsessions/terminal.desktop file. Then for one user I switched the .dmrc file to have "Session=terminal". However, the user still goes into unity and the .dmrc files keeps switching back to say Session=ubuntu. [03:15] Ben64, because all i want is X and i3. [03:15] I have i3 running. just can't get x to start on login [03:20] peawormsworth: just switching the .dmrc can be tricky with accountsservice being used, might need to mess around with /var/lib/AccountsService/users/username [03:21] trism: i should have just clicked the ubuntu icon from the lightdm login window for this user and switched it to my new "terminal" option. This worked. So i am fine now. [03:21] Thanks for your help. [03:21] peawormsworth: yeah definitely easier [03:21] Any ideas on why Ubuntu is ignoring my ~/.bash_profile ? [03:24] hi i have 32 bit firefox and 64 bit chrome, installed 32 bit adobe flash plugin, now if i try to install 64 bit adobe flash plugin- it will remove 32 bit plugin..either one of them can be installed at a time, is there other workarounds to have 32 & 64 bit adobe flash plugins installed? [03:25] Also does ubuntu use systemd? [03:26] trism: I am searching to find a specification for all of the key value pairs in the xsessions/*.desktop files. I will keep searching, but if you know of a link or keywords to search on this, it would help. [03:28] peawormsworth: http://standards.freedesktop.org/desktop-entry-spec/latest/ar01s05.html [03:29] trism: most appreciated! [03:32] hey all. what would be the easiest way to create a keyboard shortcut to move files/folders to another directory? im kind of a ubuntu newbie [03:32] have mercy [03:33] sublim21, create a keyboard shortcut...? What's wrong with mv target dest [03:36] Rad-: heres the problem. I got like 4 hard drives, with multiple files, of multiple copies of stuff. im gonna sit here, and chug through all the files and folers. i wanna quickly move the files/folders to other files/folders [03:37] Rad-, ubuntu uses upstart [03:37] #phillw [03:37] sublim21, I'm late to the conversation guy, but Beyond Compare might help you out a bit...? [03:38] mimble this is an answer to which question? [03:39] sublim21, yes..? [03:39] so let's say i'm sitting in ~/folder1 [03:39] Rad-: i don't know what upstart is [03:39] im looking at beyond compare right now [03:39] I want to move all the files in folder1 to folder 2 [03:39] Rad-: Ubuntu doesn't use systemd, it uses Upstart [03:40] this should be connected to flattr or bitcoin for tipping. [03:40] cd ~/folder1; mv * ~/folder2 [03:40] i belive [03:40] it's pretty cool. Made for comparing folders, but you can ctrl select and copy or move folders / files to other drives. I can't live without it at work. [03:41] each day i have this line in my log: Mar 23 08:00:42 zjd2013 anacron[31419]: Job `cron.daily' terminated (exit status: 1) (mailing output), how do i find out exactly which job caused the problem? [03:41] eN_Joy, isn't there a cron log file somewhere [03:41] http://serverfault.com/questions/136461/how-to-check-cron-logs-in-ubuntu [03:42] beyond compare appears to be the program im looking for. basically, i've done the classic, omg omg gotta back up EVERYTHING. but now i have like backups of backups that were only temporary backups to begin with. :/ === ericab is now known as ericab_away [03:42] i filtered out CRON logs, but can trace it back... [03:43] sublim21: no tool can simplify the task of straightening out historical disorganization. [03:44] sublim21, Been there. It's easy to get a buttload of files everywhere. Trying to be better. [03:44] I installed ubuntu on my netbook but every time I try and login it gives me this error: Cound not update ICEauthority file /home/myersg/.ICEauthority [03:45] sublim21, You get like 30 days. Not a month but more like 30 days of use. I used it for a year before I purchased. Like 1 day a month [03:48] xodiak: this is looking good. it's also on windows and ubuntu, which is nice. im gonna give it a shot. [03:49] myersg: not running ice here, but should do the basics and check the file is owned and writable by that user: "ll /home/myersg/.ICEauthority" ... and if file doesnt exist then maybe try "touch " while logged in as myersg. And also if that produces and error, check the filesystem is not full with "df -h" and also that the drive didnt mount "ro" or something like that. [03:50] peawormsworth I checked and it is owned by me. [03:50] myersg: and I assume the write flag is ok too. hmm. [03:50] it says re--- 1 myersg myersg 0 Mar 23:21:25 .ICEauthority [03:51] Do I need ice? [03:51] possibly stupid question... Is there a way to make my Ubuntu 12.10 window menu toolbar show on the window instead of the panel? [03:51] (any open windows) [03:52] JosephF, so apparently the problem is that UBuntu can't check that I'm on tty1. If I just do what you did with an empty "exec i3" it works. weird [03:52] myersg: o crap... i have an Ice file too. I dindt know that. I guess we all do., I thought you were running something different. sry. Im not sure i can help you as I dont know wat im talking about. sry. [03:52] peawormsworth would it be ok if i did: rm .ICEauthority to remove it? or would that mess stuff up? [03:52] hmm [03:53] well.. its ubuntu 12.04 [03:53] 32 bit [03:54] myersg: I dont know. but I suspect it is a bad idea to delete this file. [03:54] Rad-: Do you mean that in the ~/.bash_profile you just have "exec i3" ? Or in a different file? [03:54] I just did.. [03:54] I am loged in now.. [03:54] JosephF, yeah [03:54] seemed to work.. [03:54] don't know what kind of problems I may have caused though.. [03:54] myersg: Ok... I guess it is regenerated on login if it doesnt exist. Good work. [03:55] myersg: if you check, it should have recreated that file. As long as you can log in, don't delete it again. YOu shouldn't need to. [03:55] do you know the exact location of the file? [03:55] i'm also kinda weirded out that i don't logout when i exit i3. [03:56] myersg: Did you encrypt your home folder and change your password, or install Gnome 3 by chance? [03:56] Rad-: how are you exiting i3? [03:56] myersg: you told us the file is here: /home/myersg/.ICEauthority [03:56] JosephF, mod+shift+e [03:56] lastlog i3 [03:56] I don't see it.. could it be hidden? [03:56] lastlog exec i3 === sysadmin is now known as Guest73693 [03:57] oops... [03:57] and I did not install gnome 3 [03:57] myersg: that's what the . means. It's a hidden file. [03:57] ah ha: sudo apt-get remove indicator-appmenu [03:57] how do I show hidden files? [03:57] ctrl + h [03:58] it must have regenerated its self or something.. its there [03:58] myersg: from a command line ls -la or what xodiak suggests from nautilus. [03:58] myersg: CTRL-ALT-t and then type "la" or "ll /home/myers/.ICEauthority" [03:59] There was someone else in here earlier with the same (or a similar problem). ICEAuthority errors must be going around now like the flu. [03:59] myersg: also, from the graphical file viewer, show hidden under View menu [04:00] ok, thank you.. like I said, it does show up. so most likely it regenerated its self upon login. [04:00] myersg: You didn't answer my first question, or if you did, I missed it. Did you encrypt your home folder when you installed? [04:01] yes I did [04:01] I have some WD 2TB blacks plugged into a RocketRaid 2760A. when I do a sudo hdparm -S 180 /dev/sdj I get "setting standby to 180 (15 minutes). HDIO_DRIVE_CMD(setidle) failed: Operation not permitted". why is it not permitted? [04:01] I just installed tonight.., and I have now encrypted it. [04:02] myersg: That might be where the problem is then. When you encrypted it, it didn't update the .ICEAuthority file properly, so you weren't able to log in. [04:03] is there a graphical way to create a new user that has an encrypted home? [04:03] no no, I could not login.. that was BEFORE I encryped it. [04:03] I did not just a second ago. [04:03] I did that* [04:04] has anyone ever heard of using python to code by voice? [04:04] myersg: did you create a new user that has an encrypted home? and using a graphical interface? I have been using the terminal for this. If you know how to do this graphically, please describe. [04:04] Ok, I'm running into a major hiccup and I can't seem to find a way to fix it. I'm installing 13.04 on a system that previously ran 12.10. Installation from a live USB goes well and I get to where it wants to reboot. The system reboots and I'm stuck at a purple screen. [04:04] chunkyhead: no. I've heard of a program called Palaver, or "Linux Speech Recognition". [04:05] BrianH: 13.04 specific questions are in #ubuntu+1 [04:05] I let the purple screen sit for about 4 hours and nothing changes. I force the system down, and then it loads with an error "An error occurred while mounting /boot" [04:05] I have some WD 2TB blacks plugged into a RocketRaid 2760A. when I do a sudo hdparm -S 180 /dev/sdj I get "setting standby to 180 (15 minutes). HDIO_DRIVE_CMD(setidle) failed: Operation not permitted". why is it not permitted? [04:06] PatrickDickey, http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=8SkdfdXWYaI epic shit [04:06] BrianH: You'll have better luck in the #ubuntu+1 channel, as peawormsworth mentioned. You could try nomodeset also though. [04:06] peawormsworth I am a little confused right now.., I just installed it, using the wizzard. when I was unable to login the first time, I started the terminal (F2) and thn rm ICEauthority and logged in using kdm [04:06] PatrickDickey: how can I get to where I can enter nomodreset? Just esc through the boot process? [04:07] !nomodeset | BrianH [04:07] BrianH: A common kernel (boot)parameter is nomodeset, which is needed for some graphic cards that otherwise boot into a black screen or show corrupted splash screen. See http://ubuntuforums.org/showthread.php?t=1613132 on how to use this parameter [04:07] thanks :) [04:07] No problem BrianH Hopefully it fixes the problem.
