| fisher | Hello good people. Anyone familiar with JACK? I am having an issue where when I try to start the JACK server it tells me it cant acquire a device name. It is referencing this device: "hw:0" but hw:0 is my video card with HDMI. My sound car is hw:1. I tried correcting the problem with Qjackctl but I am still unable to start the JACK server | 05:36 |
| fisher | here is a pastebin of my message window. This is the information it provided when i try to start the JACK server and it fails.: http://paste.ubuntu.com/5694498/ | 05:40 |

| ubottu | fisher: If you're having problems with sound, click the Volume applet, then Sound Preferences, and check your Volume, Hardware, Input, and Output settings. If that fails, see https://help.ubuntu.com/community/Sound - https://help.ubuntu.com/community/SoundTroubleshooting - http://alsa.opensrc.org/DmixPlugin - For playing audio files, see !players and !mp3. | 05:42 |

| segin | How do I get Ubuntu to broadcast a WPA-protected 802.11 access point? | 05:44 |
| segin | I had it working as an insecure access point via the Internet Connection Sharing features of NetworkManager. | 05:44 |
| segin | Please note that I am setting this up for a friend whose is two time zones away via ssh, so some things I will be unable to test. | 05:45 |

| segin | Is there a virtual package for installing Ubuntu Server on top of a pre-existing Ubuntu installation? | 05:50 |
| segin | !server | 05:51 |
| ubottu | Ubuntu Server Edition is a release of Ubuntu designed especially for server environments, including a server specific !kernel and no !GUI. The install CD contains many server applications. Current !LTS version is !Precise (Precise Pangolin 12.04) - More info: http://www.ubuntu.com/products/whatisubuntu/serveredition - Guide: https://help.ubuntu.com/12.04/serverguide/C/ - Support in #ubuntu-server | 05:51 |
| poisoned_dragon | I think the answer is no, segin. | 05:51 |
| histo | segin: I don't even thinkk there is a specific server kernel anymore unless they are using lowlatency or something. | 05:51 |
| poisoned_dragon | Especially if the server version has a custom kernel. | 05:52 |
| histo | segin: what is it you are trying to do? | 05:52 |
| segin | histo: Run a Ubuntu-based desktop as a Wi-Fi router with WPA encryption. | 05:52 |
| histo | poisoned_dragon: the kernel if there is one would be in the same repos as desktop repos | 05:52 |

| ubottu | segin: If you want to share the internet connection of your Ubuntu machine with other machines in the network see https://help.ubuntu.com/community/Internet/ConnectionSharing | 05:53 |
| segin | yayahow: For a LAN? | 05:53 |

| segin | It's very useful if you're in the boonies where you don't have freeloader neighbours | 05:54 |
| poisoned_dragon | ubottu, he doesn't want ICS. He's looking for a means to encrypt in hotspot mode. | 05:54 |
| ubottu | poisoned_dragon: I am only a bot, please don't think I'm intelligent :) | 05:54 |

| segin | yayahow: Like a Ethernet connection directly into a DOCSIS modem? | 05:54 |
| histo | segin: let me see if I can find you documentation | 05:54 |
| segin | yayahow: The Ubuntu machine in question is already doing ICS for the LAN. | 05:55 |
| yayahow | uh the lan connection itself is a docsis connection...i'm saying in order to share a wifi or lan connection, another device needs to be in the pc...a 2nd lan or wifi device...that's the only way to share | 05:55 |
| histo | segin: there are security options in network manager btw | 05:56 |
| yayahow | another pc can not connect or share anything without a dedicated device. | 05:56 |
| histo | yayahow: He understands what you are saying. He has a lan connection to the docsis modem and wants to use the wifi card to create a hotspot nothing else is needed | 05:57 |
| yayahow | a vpn may be able to setup a virtual device to work around this though. | 05:57 |

| ubottu | maven, please see my private message | 06:02 |
| segin | histo: We're using Lubuntu on this machine as it's a desktop/server hybrid and LXDE has the lowest resource use, and as such, we have a different GUI front end to NetworkManager. What package is the standard Ubuntu frontend in? | 06:03 |
| histo | segin: are you using network manager or wicd? | 06:05 |
| segin | How would I be able to tell the difference? | 06:05 |

| segin | It' | 06:06 |
| segin | It's NetworkManager, except it's not the GUI frontend shown on that page | 06:06 |
| poisoned_dragon | maven: That might be currently normal. It just looks like the font is not in bold type in the drop down menu, even though it looks like it is in the applications menu. There might be a setting to change that. | 06:06 |

| maletor | does it make sense to partition both harddrives (boot and home) as gpt or is gpt something that only makes sense for boot drive? | 06:14 |
| segin | maletor: Is your firmware (U)EFI or BIOS? | 06:14 |
| maletor | former | 06:14 |
| segin | Then don't use GPT. | 06:14 |
| segin | At least, not on the boot drive. | 06:14 |
| maletor | former means it's uefi -- i'm pretty sure i want gpt | 06:14 |
| segin | Oh. | 06:15 |
| segin | Sorry, yes, | 06:15 |
| segin | Use EFI on the boot drive. | 06:15 |
| maletor | i will | 06:15 |
| maletor | my question is does it make sense to partition both harddrives (boot and home) as gpt or is gpt something that only makes sense for boot drive? | 06:15 |
| segin | Define "makes sense". | 06:15 |
| maletor | i guess you're right, it's basically just going to house /var /home and swap | 06:16 |
| segin | If /home is on a separate physical disk, then it truly does not matter what partitioning scheme you use on that drive. | 06:16 |
| maletor | right, so gpt would be a good choice, because it's newer? | 06:16 |
| segin | Well, it actually does not matter. | 06:17 |
| segin | GPT is a sane choice, yes | 06:17 |
| maletor | it's gotta be something | 06:17 |
| segin | But since the UEFI won't be touching that drive... | 06:17 |
| segin | You could use Apple Partition Map or BSD disklabels if you wanted to, and it wouldn't matter. | 06:17 |
| segin | As long as you use GPT on your boot drive, you can use any partition scheme supported by Linux on the rest of your drives. | 06:18 |
| maletor | principle of least astonishment would probably lend to making it gpt | 06:18 |
| segin | Yes. | 06:18 |
| maletor | cool segin. thanks | 06:18 |
| segin | However | 06:18 |
| fisher | is it possible to modify the "hw:0" assignments? For example: Change hw:1 to hw:0? | 06:19 |
| segin | If you think you would ever need to physically move that drive into an older machine for whatever reason, then consider MBR, but if said "older machine" is also running Linux, GPT is still fine. | 06:19 |
| maletor | segin: as far as i'm concerned this is the old machine | 06:19 |
| maletor | we are moving forward | 06:20 |
| segin | Oh, then you've got no reason to use anything else aside from maybe geek cred. | 06:20 |
| maletor | well uefi is faster than mbr | 06:20 |
| maletor | that's why i'm using it :) | 06:20 |
| maletor | and geek gred | 06:21 |
| segin | Ah, okay. | 06:21 |
| segin | If you are worried about being able to use as much disk space as possible, then MBR is actually better. GPT will reserve space for a EFI boot partition. | 06:21 |
| segin | But, like I said, as it's not a boot drive, there's no real difference in choice. | 06:22 |
| maletor | so for efi, should i have a partition for /boot /boot/efi and / ?? | 06:48 |

| auronandace | mar77i: depends on what gets updated | 07:10 |
| histo | !ask | delilah | 07:10 |
| ubottu | delilah: Please don't ask to ask a question, simply ask the question (all on ONE line and in the channel, so that others can read and follow it easily). If anyone knows the answer they will most likely reply. :-) See also !patience | 07:10 |
| delilah | apparently, i have a notification that my system crashed | 07:11 |

| Morpheaus | delilah, from what I know, xruns are caused by buffer underuns/overruns when processing. Any issue that I have seen posted on Google relates to IRQ conflicts with hardware...have you checked to see if the device in question is sharing the same IRQ as possibly some other component? Have you tried unplugging other USB components or disabling BIOS features (i.e. NIC's, Built-in Sound, unplug USB devices) to see if it has any effect? | 07:19 |
| ben1234 | xss scanners | 07:21 |
| Morpheaus | delilah, I'd go to Google and type in "xruns" - there is a "linuxmusicians.com" site that seems to have forums that are similar to the content that you're asking - http://lmgtfy.com/?q=xruns | 07:22 |
| delilah | this just started within this hour. i have very few options available in bios but with last day or two i enabled virtual in bios | 07:22 |
| delilah | ProcCmdliine in crash report relates: "/usr/bin/systemsettings -caption System\ Settings --icon preferences-system" | 07:23 |

| Morpheaus | delilah, For software, you can check Ubuntu Software Center and look at the history to see what has changed - it could even be related to a security update - once you see the list, you may be able to backport a package using Synaptic - you'd need to Google "synaptic select specific package" or something like that to override what was added/changed... | 07:31 |

| Morpheaus | delilah, not sure - there are documented cases of apparmor being patched to fix snd-usb-calaq - the issue is very specific to certain hardware | 07:33 |
| Abhijit | amanthakur, then use their forum. mailing list. you won't get fedora help here. you can try ##linux | 07:33 |
| amanthakur | Abhijit, hmm ok thanks | 07:33 |
| Morpheaus | delilah, more specifically - snd-usb-calaq and xruns | 07:33 |
| delilah | Morpheaus: okay, here's the scoop on that: when I last ran updates several hours ago, some security updates were left unmarked, and since my problems with bootup and the new unsupported driver, (and unsupported kernel) i left those unchecked | 07:34 |
| delilah | I would like to just recompile for a better rt kernel with AMD configured and alsamixer pimps, for starters | 07:36 |
| Morpheaus | delilah, then the probability that it's related to a software update is greater than that of any other issue - you should go through each package that was updated, open Synaptic, and select the previous version and install that - after you've isolated the package, you can report it on launchpad - sadly your issue is extremely specific to your hardware... | 07:36 |
| Morpheaus | delilah, and trust me - I know what it's like to have a hardware issue - I'm using ubuntu 13.04 on MacTel (Macbook5,2) and some patches cause headaches and debugging to really resolve... | 07:36 |
| delilah | Morpheaus: sadly, it always is, which is why i have so many personalizations | 07:36 |
| delilah | Morpheaus: headaches. more like fevers I need to smooth out this overheating wrinkle I always get in over my head when i go near my graphics driver | 07:38 |
| Morpheaus | delilah, Ya - but I'd take the knowledge from anyone else on *nix - I can't load Windows 8 Embedded on my Hackberry A10 - but it runs Gentoo and Ubuntu perfectly :) | 07:38 |

| Morpheaus | delilah, many disagree with this statement (so take it with a grain of salt) - I _always_ use proprietary drivers instead of kernel maintained drivers. While the proprietary drivers are annoying and bad for the open source community, I do feel that they have a better build quality/integration with hardware than any open source driver... | 07:40 |
| delilah | Morpheaus: I will take your advice, I agree on software for now.. thank you. | 07:40 |
| Morpheaus | <-- hoping people won't hate me... | 07:40 |
| Morpheaus | delilah, good luck :) - once it's working you can lock the package as well that caused the issue so you'll possibly have dependency issues, but at least your system will work as you expect it to. | 07:41 |
| delilah | Morpheaus: but there are so so many nit-picky configs for certain things | 07:41 |

| kewel | histo: go with me here. my buddy's win7 machine didn't see anything else on the wifi network other than himself. I just installed samba print server on my lubuntu box. .. if I go bother him will he see my machine or printer now? I configured per https://help.ubuntu.com/12.04/serverguide/samba-printserver.html ?? | 07:42 |
| Morpheaus | delilah, welcome to Linux - you are expected to "know it" much more than Windows...but I will say after you "know it", it's easier to make changes that you want because of the granular level of control... | 07:42 |
| kewel | histo: cept for 'security = share' | 07:42 |
| kewel | =) | 07:42 |
| histo | kewel: assuming it's in the same workgroup and or domain | 07:42 |
| histo | kewel: smbtree on your box should show you if youc an see shares on the network | 07:43 |
| kewel | that's what I'm wondering .. his machine didn't see me before I installed samba print server .. I configured it with the workgroup name he uses .. will he see me now? | 07:43 |

| histo | kewel: As i've said I would use IPP and just avoid the entire issue with samba in the first place. IPP has been supported by windows since Windblows 2000 so i'm not sure why the wiki and help pages haven't been updated | 07:43 |
| histo | kewel: he should assuming you've set everythignj up properly | 07:44 |
| kewel | histo: I'll go find out. =) | 07:44 |

| kewel | histo: he's asleep. | 07:45 |
| delilah | Morpheaus: one last thing, I like your responses; what would you do in order to be sure you had a neat and working install script for an unruly driver? the ubuntu wikis are sometimes outdated, for starters. | 07:45 |
| Morpheaus | let's hope so - :) | 07:45 |
| kewel | grAATE | 07:45 |
| histo | kewel: well he doesn't need to print in his sleep hopefully | 07:45 |
| Morpheaus | delilah, what's the driver? | 07:45 |
| kewel | no but I want to know if this schtuff werked!! hahaha | 07:46 |
| Morpheaus | delilah, more specifically - what is the driver name that you're dealing with? | 07:46 |
| kewel | I wonder what else samba does. | 07:46 |
| delilah | Morpheaus: AMD radeon 4xxx (ATI rs880) graphics | 07:46 |
| histo | kewel: samba does windblows file sharing | 07:46 |
| kewel | I'm new to the linux/windows networking stuff | 07:46 |
| kewel | is there a gui util I can nose around in? | 07:47 |
| histo | kewel: the newer version of samba4 that is due out soon does active directory in linux. | 07:47 |
| kewel | neato | 07:47 |
| kewel | histo: a gui util for samba? (lubuntu 12.04, here) | 07:47 |
| kewel | shoulda googled steada typed here.. checkin... | 07:48 |
| delilah | Morpheaus: The new catalyst won't support 4xxx and under, i believe, except natty-precise, but with a kernel <3.2 if i am not mistaken, for starters.. | 07:49 |
| histo | kewel: hold up let me check | 07:49 |
| histo | !swat | kewel | 07:50 |
| ubottu | kewel: Samba is the way to cooperate with Windows environments. Links with more info: https://wiki.ubuntu.com/MountWindowsSharesPermanently and https://help.ubuntu.com/12.04/serverguide/C/windows-networking.html - Samba can be administered via the web with SWAT. | 07:50 |
| Morpheaus | delilah, for that device - it looks like there are two drivers that work - xserver-xorg-video-ati and xserver-xorg-video-radeon. There are generally two components to a driver in linux - a kernel module and then support X11 drivers that allow for DRI, AIGLX, GLX, and other functions that are used by 3d renderers and compositing engines in linux. | 07:50 |
| delilah | Morpheaus: one user posted a kernel rebuild for just such a situation, i discovered a few days ago but haven't reviewed yet | 07:50 |
| Morpheaus | delilah, trying to compile a kernel from source, while a great idea, also introduces other components that can fail during load if you did not compile a module. On top of that, you could have build issues when certain combinations of hardware is selected for module/kernel building | 07:51 |
| Morpheaus | delilah, personally - I'd consider these options - each of them require you to backup your system to recover from a failure | 07:52 |
| delilah | Morpheaus: hence, my great hesitation; with my default radeon installation and mesa drivers my glxgears were at 56 fps. so... | 07:52 |
| Morpheaus | delilah, first option - try raring (13.04) to see if any of the upstream fixes were integrated into the newer versions of the kernel... | 07:52 |
| delilah | *gasp* | 07:53 |
| Morpheaus | delilah, second option - rollback changes applied to isolate a specific package and lock it so that it's not upgraded in the future - long term you'll want to go through the bug submission process | 07:53 |
| Morpheaus | delilah, one of the last options would be to compile a kernel from the ground up - this isn't impossible nor extremely hard once you understand it, but you will spend a week usually to understand how the build process works and what is actually occuring and needed for the compile process and deployment to be successful | 07:54 |
| delilah | Morpheaus: I have a partition installed for testing. I suppose i could use that ; is there any possible way to grab data through the partition for backup? | 07:54 |
| delilah | (i have been having permission access issues between users) | 07:55 |
| kewel | histo: welp .. I think I did everything right .. just have to wait till morn to test er out. thank you. | 07:56 |
| kewel | histo: I'll tell ya if it works or not. | 07:56 |
| Morpheaus | delilah, when I create images for my arm device - i usually just do a cp -rpP * /mnt/mydrive - you may want to install a package or even do a disk level backup using Norton Ghost or something like that - if you use the cp method, if the upgrade fails and you need to move back, you will need to re-run the grub installer...you'll also need to boot from a rescue disk (ubuntu live cd) to make sure there are no mounted partitions during | 07:56 |
| Morpheaus | processing as well... | 07:56 |
| delilah | Morpheaus: I am trying to stay close to the Kxstudio distro model. its support is growing and stability has gained much strength.. it works so well for me except for my video | 07:57 |
| Morpheaus | delilah, totally understand - but any time you want a newer kernel/package that's built off of what kxstudio does not distribute, you're walking into no man's land when trying to address the issues. There is technical information to address it, but you still need to be able to dig in and try, try, try and sometimes face the fact that it can't be fixed and re-evaluate the distribution, hardware, et cetera... | 07:59 |
| histo | kewel: np if not try IPP | 07:59 |
| histo | kewel: You shouldn't have to change anythign to make sure that works other than make sure the printer is set to shar ein cups | 08:00 |
| kewel | histo: will do. | 08:00 |
| kewel | histo: ya .. I set it to share when I installed the printer many moons ago .. I'm just wondering if his win7 box will see my lubuntu box. | 08:00 |
| Morpheaus | delilah, so - if the changes that were made in the last hour are related to custom builds - remove it - if you can't then you may need to start from scratch. Any time I do a custom build when using configure/make, I always make a backup as the files are usually written without an uninstall script | 08:00 |
| === killer is now known as Guest97250 | ||
| histo | kewel: It should | 08:01 |
| Morpheaus | delilah, if you didn't compile anything - you can look at your package history to see if there is a specific version that caused the issue - you could then revert it, ensure it works, and then submit a bug request in which they'll ask for more detailed information... | 08:01 |
| histo | kewel: if you convince him to eventually use linux you can just IPP and no need for samba | 08:01 |
| histo | actaully there is no need now but some people use it. | 08:01 |
| killer | is it possible to develop window applications inside linux | 08:01 |
| Morpheaus | delilah, the process is painful, as you don't know if it's going to be addressed, or if it will be deferred - but if you at least post it, there's a chance others will see it as well and chime in/offier potential fixes | 08:02 |
| Morpheaus | offier = offer | 08:02 |

| delilah | (since october) | 08:04 |
| kewel | histo: the house's main box is a piii1ghz 512mb -- xp was botched so I installed lubuntu =) | 08:05 |
| Morpheaus | delilah, I know it's not fun - I've done the same with Ubuntu many times - along with Windows as well - but if you have a system that works well, and you want to experiment with it, it makes sense to at least create a backup to recover it in case of failure - for some installs you may even be able to get by using a usb storage device for the backup... | 08:05 |

| barnex | iceroot: try listing your 'encrypted' home directory as root | 08:31 |
| iceroot | barnex: strange, apache2 is working with o+x, i thought it would need o+rx | 08:31 |
| barnex | it needs x to enter directory, and r to list files | 08:31 |
| barnex | if it does know which file it needs to access, r isn't needed | 08:31 |
| iceroot | barnex: the list-module is working with o+x | 08:32 |

| DJones | kevin999: That pastebin says Ubuntu 8.04 which isn't supported anymore | 09:18 |
| zippitysquashed | try pressing c at boot time | 09:19 |
| DrGrov | Or perhaps what I want to get into is the GRUB menu. Running 12.04. | 09:19 |

| === shihan_ is now known as Shihan | ||
| kevin999 | histo: I had to create a brand new directory - so I'm thinking perhaps it was a permissions error to the location in the filesystem | 09:22 |
| histo | kevin999: if you want it to mount on boot /etc/fstab | 09:22 |
| DrGrov | Is it just enough to press Shift while booting up to get into the grub menu? | 09:22 |
| histo | kevin999: the directory you are mounting to has to exist | 09:23 |
| histo | DrGrov: yes | 09:23 |
| kevin999 | histo: Great support - Thanks | 09:23 |
| histo | DrGrov: I usually hammer on it. | 09:23 |
| DrGrov | histo: I will give it a go now. Ah, the hammer technique. Conquer and destroy :) | 09:23 |
| DrGrov | histo: The problem is that I can not get further if I do not get into safe mode or something like ttyl1 in order to copy the backup of xorg.conf back. | 09:24 |
| kevin999 | histo: just picking up on that last coment - what needs to go in /etc/fstab | 09:24 |
| histo | kevin999: //ip.of.server/sharename /directory/to/mount/to cifs any_options_you_want 0 0 | 09:25 |
| histo | !fstab | kevin999 | 09:25 |
| ubottu | kevin999: The /etc/fstab file indicates how drive partitions are to be used or otherwise integrated into the file system. See https://help.ubuntu.com/community/Fstab and http://www.tuxfiles.org/linuxhelp/fstab.html and !Partitions | 09:25 |
| DrGrov | Ah, I can not even load GRUB. Just a blank screen. What should I do now then? | 09:25 |
| histo | DrGrov: you could boot to a live usb or cd and repair | 09:26 |
| DrGrov | histo: How do I repair then? Just simply from the menu? | 09:26 |
| DrGrov | histo: I hope I still have the 12.04 CD left so I can do it. | 09:26 |
| kevin999 | Gota say you guys always offer great support and advice - thanks all for you input - guess I need to get on with some work now !! :-) | 09:27 |
| kevin999 | Speak soon no doubt - regards kevin | 09:27 |
| histo | DrGrov: mount the root fs from the live cd and edit he xorg.conf | 09:27 |
| histo | DrGrov: or whatever file you need to repair | 09:27 |
| DrGrov | histo: Ah, mount the root fs is done how exactly? | 09:28 |
| histo | DrGrov: easiest way for you would be to double click it in the gui. Or you could open a termi9nal and sudo mount /dev/of/root /mnt | 09:29 |
| DrGrov | histo: I found Ubuntu 11.04 Desktop 64-bit CD lying around. I hope it can oot. | 09:30 |
| DrGrov | *boot | 09:30 |
| histo | DrGrov: shoudlb e able to. | 09:31 |
| DrGrov | histo: This is good, it is loading from the CD. Probably yes the GUI would be the easiest way to doing it. | 09:32 |
| histo | DrGrov: yeah go to places > where.ever | 09:33 |
| histo | DrGrov: you should see the drive if not just lsblk to find the dev and mount /dev/sda# /mnt | 09:33 |
| DrGrov | histo: Okay, I will soon be in (hopefully). | 09:33 |
| tokern3 | don't know which one is better : downthemall or multiget or wsdownloadfast or flareget or prozgui ? | 09:34 |
| Myrtti | try them all? | 09:34 |
| DrGrov | histo: I wonder though. Was it the modeline in xorg.conf that really caused the problem? The monitor should do it with the nouveau driver. | 09:35 |
| Myrtti | !best | tokern3 | 09:35 |
| ubottu | tokern3: 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. | 09:35 |
| histo | DrGrov: I didn't see the problem that you are trying to fix. YOu don't need an xorg.conf to boot | 09:35 |
| histo | DrGrov: you'd have to look at /var/log/Xorg.0.log | 09:35 |
| === Lebby1 is now known as Lebby | ||
| DrGrov | histo: But apparently I need since I can not get my monitor to 1920x1080 with the nouveau driver. I can only get it to that with the nvidia-current driver.' | 09:36 |
| DrGrov | histo: I have checked the Xorg.0.log and apparently the nouveau driver only supports a maximum of 1360x768. | 09:36 |
| DrGrov | histo: I have had nVidia issues showing up on Xorg.0.log that segfaults and causes me to jump into the login screen. Happens when I use Chromium, Chrome or Firefox with Flash. | 09:37 |
| beck_ | hello | 09:37 |
| histo | DrGrov: is there a reason you don't want to use nvidia-current? are you just trying to stay opensource? | 09:38 |
| DrGrov | histo: There is a reason. The Chromium/Chrome/Firefox + Flash issue I have with my nVidia GTS 250. It segfaults and I can not work at all while having this problem. But my monitor can not go to 1920x1080 with the nouveau driver. | 09:38 |
| histo | DrGrov: perhaps askthe nouveau peeps | 09:40 |
| beck_ | I have a question about bonding that I could not find info on. Typical we use LACP/802.3ad however for a low budget solution we are stuck using layer 2 switch and active-backup. It seems to work ok until I drop a switch and it never recovers. I suspect I have something wrong with my configuration. Any ideas? | 09:40 |
| beck_ | I was using https://help.ubuntu.com/community/UbuntuBonding as a reference and I'm running precise | 09:41 |
| DrGrov | histo: I can not get into the live CD of 11.04. IT just freezes up on me. | 09:41 |
| DrGrov | histo: I am screwed. | 09:41 |
| histo | DrGrov: did youg et the grub menu hitting the shift key? | 09:42 |
| DrGrov | histo: No, nothing. | 09:42 |
| histo | DrGrov: you have to repeatedly press it after the bios posts. | 09:42 |
| DrGrov | histo: Yes, that I did. | 09:42 |
| histo | DrGrov: once you get the menu boot into recovery mode and fix your machine. If not you have to use a live cd | 09:42 |
| DrGrov | histo: Okay, I am in through the live CD. The Try Ubuntu did not work so I closed it and now I am in. | 09:43 |
| DrGrov | histo: But I do not find my xorg.conf at all. Neither I have no idea how to fix GRUB: | 09:45 |
| histo | DrGrov: okay places > whatever do you see the local hard drive ?? | 09:45 |
| histo | DrGrov: why do you think grub is damaged now? | 09:46 |
| DrGrov | histo: Yes, I see the 32GB local drive. | 09:46 |
| histo | DrGrov: click on that and fix your files | 09:46 |
| beck_ | does anyone have an idea or can point me to some docs that are more complete? | 09:46 |
| histo | DrGrov: once you click on it... it will be mounted. You can find out where it's mounted by typing mount in a terminal. If you sudo chroot that/mount/point you can apt-get install etc... | 09:46 |
| histo | beck_: #hardware | 09:47 |
| beck_ | histo, its not a hardware issue | 09:47 |
| beck_ | its a ubuntu issue | 09:47 |
| histo | beck_: ahh im sorry just saw you asking about switch didn't read. | 09:48 |
| beck_ | specifically around active-backup bonding :) | 09:48 |
| histo | beck_: what do you mean it doesn't recover? | 09:48 |
| beck_ | it doesn't failover or recover once I bring the priary switch back online | 09:48 |
| beck_ | s/priary/primary | 09:49 |
| histo | beck_: does it default to the primary switch if the secondary one fails? | 09:49 |
| DrGrov | histo: Probably got it now. Rebooting to confirm. | 09:49 |
| beck_ | histo: I have not been able to get past the first failure scenario at this point | 09:49 |
| histo | beck_: what mode are you using? | 09:50 |
| beck_ | histo: my config looks almost identicl to the link I posted but I'm using active-backup or mode 1 | 09:50 |
| DrGrov | histo: Okay, I | 09:50 |
| histo | beck_: in active-backup only one slave is active | 09:51 |
| DrGrov | histo: Okay, I am in the GRUB boot menu now. Where do I start looking into drivers what might cause a problem? Xorg.0.log yes. But can I really be without a xorg.conf and still get out the right resolution without nvidia-current drivers? | 09:51 |
| histo | beck_: so on failure the other doesn't become active? | 09:51 |
| beck_ | yes correct | 09:52 |
| histo | beck_: hrm... perhaps try in #ubuntu-server It should jsut be working unless one of your configs for the slave is fat fingered | 09:53 |
| histo | beck_: sorry I can't help more I have to get some sleep. | 09:53 |
| beck_ | histo: I suspect bond-slaves none is not the right setting | 09:53 |
| beck_ | histo: thaks anyway | 09:53 |
| sheldor | whats the best way to *install* ubuntu to a flash drive? not just boot the installer from it | 09:56 |
| sheldor | like would i have to boot from another flash drive and install to the first one? | 09:56 |
| sheldor | or is there a better way | 09:56 |
| ajnr | Hi folks , how to open the wide screen console in ubuntu ? | 09:57 |
| sheldor | also why is the 32 bit version *recommended* ??? | 09:57 |
| sheldor | is it recommended even for 64bit cpus? | 09:57 |
| rypervenche | Go with 64-bit if you've got 64-bit CPUs. | 09:58 |
| sheldor | rypervenche: then why do they still recommend 32bit? nobody even produces 32bit cpus anymore | 09:58 |
| histo | !install | sheldor | 09:58 |
| ubottu | sheldor: Ubuntu can be installed in lots of ways. Please see https://help.ubuntu.com/community/Installation for documentation. Problems during install? See https://wiki.ubuntu.com/CommonProblemsInstall - Don't want to use a CD? See http://tinyurl.com/3exghs - See also !automate | 09:58 |
| histo | gnight | 09:58 |
| sheldor | it doesnt make sense, it should be the other way around | 09:58 |
| histo | sheldor: They still produce 32bit cpus | 09:59 |
| sheldor | thanks histo let me check that | 09:59 |
| sheldor | histo: like 1% of all cpus | 09:59 |
| histo | sheldor: more than that. Take a look at most tablets | 09:59 |
| histo | sheldor: and netbooks etc.. intel atom based 32bit cpus in a lot of stuff. And ARM CPUs | 09:59 |
| sheldor | okay | 09:59 |
| sheldor | which release should i get for Intel 64? | 10:00 |
| histo | sheldor: also how much ram do you have? | 10:00 |
| sheldor | does it only support AMD? | 10:00 |
| sheldor | histo: 8 | 10:00 |
| ajnr | Hi folks , how to open the wide screen console in ubuntu ? | 10:00 |
| sheldor | 8gigs | 10:00 |
| sheldor | i mean, does ubuntu only support AMDs? | 10:00 |
| sheldor | seems weird | 10:00 |
| histo | sheldor: no amd64 is 64bit... and btw 32bit cannot address more that 4gb of ram without PAE support. and even then it wouldn't use it as effieciently as 64bit. So run 64bit | 10:00 |
| sheldor | okay great histo | 10:01 |
| histo | sheldor: I wouldn't run 64bit on something like <2gb of RAM | 10:01 |
| sheldor | k | 10:01 |
| sheldor | thx | 10:01 |
| histo | sheldor: there are no more issues with 64bit like there were in the beginning | 10:01 |

| arkie | Hey guys, I need some help installing ubuntu on my laptop. | 10:44 |
| blank0o0o0o | hola | 10:45 |
| blank0o0o0o | hello | 10:45 |
| arkie | I have a Windows 7 laptop. I'm wanting to put ubuntu on it but I'm not sure of a few things. I've decided I don't want to dual boot and would rather just run ubuntu and not have Windows. How should I go about completely wiping the HDD ready for ubuntu installation? Where can I find a good guide to follow? | 10:45 |
| lautan | The installation disc | 10:45 |
| blank0o0o0o | yes arkie | 10:45 |
| arkie | What happens if I want to get Windows 7 back one day? Do I just use the serial under my laptop and then boot from a USB or something? | 10:46 |
| blank0o0o0o | wait | 10:46 |
| hachre | arkie: you can tell it that you wanna wipe during installation of ubuntu | 10:46 |
| blank0o0o0o | yep | 10:46 |
| blank0o0o0o | clean install | 10:46 |
| arkie | Also, what about things like power saving mode on my laptop | 10:46 |
| arkie | I will lose this ability correct? | 10:46 |
| lautan | Yes | 10:46 |
| hachre | arkie: and yea you'll need to boot from a windows cd and then use that key | 10:46 |
| snuggl | arkie: either save it on the disk by shrink the partition, or re-install windows later | 10:46 |
| hachre | arkie: some, not all | 10:46 |
| blank0o0o0o | who uses hyper v | 10:46 |
| snuggl | arkie: and yes you can install windows from usb too | 10:47 |
| arkie | hachre, so I will have worse battery life with ubuntu? | 10:47 |
| blank0o0o0o | shouldnt | 10:47 |
| lautan | Arkie, you can change your settings to save power in Ubuntu | 10:47 |
| blank0o0o0o | anyone a linux admin | 10:48 |
| hachre | arkie: most likely at least a little bit yes, but that degree varies greatly depending on what laptop it is, how well it is supported etc, hard to tell without just trying it out | 10:48 |
| arkie | okay so the installation will allow me to completely wipe the HDD | 10:48 |
| hachre | arkie: ya | 10:48 |
| arkie | I don't need to make any changes to bios settings etc..? | 10:48 |
| lautan | No | 10:48 |
| * blank0o0o0o stands up and asks a simple question | 10:48 | |
| blank0o0o0o | anyone a linux admin? | 10:49 |
| hachre | arkie: if you have a setting there called IDE mode or SATA mode or something see that you put it to AHCI, thats also better for windows | 10:49 |
| lautan | If you only have one OS on one bootable partition, no | 10:49 |
| hachre | arkie: but it makes your current windows unbootable when you switch it | 10:49 |
| blank0o0o0o | u guys are helpfull i guess u get what u pay for | 10:49 |
| nibbler_ | !ask blank0o0o0o | 10:49 |

| blank0o0o0o | then go with 32bit | 10:55 |
| hachre | if you have a 64 bit cpu you should get a 64 bit os, ram doesnt matter | 10:55 |
| blank0o0o0o | cough bs | 10:56 |
| blank0o0o0o | yes it does | 10:56 |
| lautan | blank0o0o0o: You're still wrong | 10:56 |
| blank0o0o0o | how | 10:56 |
| blank0o0o0o | your wrong | 10:56 |
| arkie | Now I don't know who to believe! | 10:56 |
| blank0o0o0o | lol | 10:57 |
| arkie | :<~ | 10:57 |
| blank0o0o0o | look it up | 10:57 |
| nibbler_ | blank0o0o0o: 64bit cpu operations can be way faster (might also be slightly slower)... and about memory, since 1954 (about) we do have pae which does not limit ram at 4gb for 32bit cpu | 10:57 |
| blank0o0o0o | pae? | 10:57 |
| nibbler_ | arkie: its not the most important choice to make, but you are on the safe side with 64bit | 10:57 |
| nibbler_ | blank0o0o0o: physical address extesion (or such), some extra lanes for addressing memory were added way before 64bit cpus hit the market | 10:58 |
| somsip | arkie: I support nibbler_ here. blank0o0o0o seems to be trolling | 10:58 |
| blank0o0o0o | im no troll fool | 10:58 |
| nibbler_ | blank0o0o0o: so all systems today can adress 48bit of ram, making memory limits like in windows systems a product of marketing | 10:59 |
| blank0o0o0o | u dork | 10:59 |
| nibbler_ | !language blank0o0o0o | 10:59 |
| somsip | blank0o0o0o: you don't know what pae is. You are not showing any depth of knowledge. Just calling bs at people who are helping. And now name calling. You read like a troll unless you up your game | 10:59 |
| arkie | ok | 10:59 |
| arkie | so i will go with 64 bit | 10:59 |
| blank0o0o0o | i didnt know that was a cuss word | 10:59 |
| arkie | thanks guys! | 10:59 |
| arkie | how can i install it on my laptop? has to be usb as my laptop has no dvd drive? | 11:00 |
| hachre | np arkie :) | 11:00 |
| arkie | can i somehow install it from my NAS? | 11:00 |
| blank0o0o0o | somsip i got a question for you | 11:00 |
| hachre | arkie: you can make a usb stick and boot from that | 11:00 |
| somsip | blank0o0o0o: if it's a support question, ask the channel. | 11:00 |
| hachre | arkie: if you have one | 11:01 |
| hachre | arkie: or you can use a usb dvd drive | 11:01 |

| arkie | can i use an external hdd hachre ? | 11:02 |
| arkie | i only have 1 usb stick and its on the back of my dune and is used as system storage | 11:02 |
| lautan | You can, arkie, I installed Ubuntu using one | 11:03 |
| arkie | for a laptop you just download the normal desktop distro correct lautan ? | 11:04 |
| lautan | Yes | 11:04 |
| hachre | arkie: I don't know how to install from hdd unless you can wipe it completely but it's possible | 11:05 |
| blank0o0o0o | did u say 1954?.3 | 11:05 |
| lautan | Partitioning it also makes it possible | 11:05 |
| blank0o0o0o | cat /proc/cpuinfo | grep processor | wc -l | 11:06 |
| hachre | whoops | 11:07 |
| rypervenche | cat grep... | 11:07 |
| blank0o0o0o | whoops what | 11:07 |
| rypervenche | grep -c processor /proc/cpuinfo | 11:07 |
| blank0o0o0o | whats the -c do | 11:08 |
| rypervenche | man grep will tell you that it counts. | 11:08 |

| sheldor | guys whats the recommended way to create a bootable persistent usb flash drive installation with a tmpfs in RAM for /tmp to protect against flash drive wear? | 11:09 |
| blank0o0o0o | !rules | 11:09 |
| ubottu | The people here are volunteers, your attitude should reflect that. Answers are not always available. See http://wiki.ubuntu.com/IRC/Guidelines | 11:09 |
| arkie | also | 11:09 |
| arkie | is it possible to have truecrypt on ubuntu? | 11:09 |
| arkie | and can i truecrypt the entire drive? | 11:10 |
| arkie | the laptop is always at uni and stuff like that so i dont want my data easily accessible | 11:10 |
| hachre | arkie: there is truecrypt but there are also other solutions and if you just want encryption that is supported and the setup will ask you for that | 11:10 |
| sheldor | or more specifically does the "live usb creator" on the install cd create a tmpfs in RAM for /tmp to protect against flash drive wear? | 11:10 |
| arkie | hachre, i hear truecrypt is pretty much the best | 11:10 |
| blank0o0o0o | i didnt know what pae means im gonna off myself pew pew | 11:10 |
| sheldor | or the "usb startup disk creator" tool | 11:10 |
| blank0o0o0o | lol | 11:10 |

| arkie | ive been using it for a while on my laptop right now | 11:10 |

| aguitel | are down ? | 11:26 |
| hachre | ubuntu.com is up for me | 11:26 |
| varikonniemi | congratulations ubuntu. I yesterday tested the daily build, and what i saw was what i would have approved as version 1 of unity | 11:26 |
| varikonniemi | GJ | 11:26 |
| somsip | aguitel: use this: http://www.downforeveryoneorjustme.com/ | 11:27 |
| varikonniemi | 12.10 got me discouraged with ubuntu, but it seems i will be back :) | 11:27 |
| hachre | yea, I'm also very happy with 13.04 | 11:27 |
| rymate1234 | 13.04 is best Ubuntu | 11:28 |
| varikonniemi | 12.10 and 11.10 have been horrible | 11:28 |
| CorySimmons | On Ubuntu Server, how do I scroll up to see all the text that flies by? | 11:29 |
| varikonniemi | page up? | 11:29 |
| hachre | I haven't been here to witness that... I left Ubuntu at 5.x and just returned now :) | 11:29 |
| CorySimmons | Is there a flag I can pass to make things scrollable? | 11:29 |
| somsip | CorySimmons: pipe the command to less, eg: ls -la | less | 11:29 |
| varikonniemi | else pipe through less or more | 11:29 |
| CorySimmons | Page Up doesnt work | 11:29 |
| hachre | CorySimmons: are you in screen? | 11:29 |
| CorySimmons | It's a vbox | 11:29 |
| hachre | try shift page up | 11:29 |
| CorySimmons | Ah! Works | 11:30 |
| CorySimmons | Thanks hachre | 11:30 |
| hachre | np | 11:30 |
| rymate1234 | Only thing I don't like about Ubuntu is the ATI legacy drivers don't work | 11:30 |
| rymate1234 | They're not updated for the kernel / Xorg on 13.04 | 11:30 |
| rymate1234 | so my games run like crap | 11:30 |
| varikonniemi | hachre, ubuntu 11.04 unity was what got me interested in linux | 11:30 |
| tush | where do i find creative elite pro drivers for ubuntu 12.04 | 11:30 |
| varikonniemi | funny to find out it was one of the biggest letdowns in linux world at the time | 11:30 |
| rymate1234 | I never bothered with 11.04 | 11:32 |
| hachre | well I like that Canonical are doing some crazy pushes | 11:34 |
| rymate1234 | Does anyone know a way to improve Ubuntu gaming performance on the open source ati drivers | 11:34 |
| hachre | rymate1234: no idea, I have a separate windows pc for gaming | 11:34 |
| rymate1234 | I usually use a seperate windows partition for games | 11:35 |
| rymate1234 | however for some reason my laptop runs horribly on windows | 11:35 |
| rymate1234 | it freezes regularly, even on a clean installation | 11:36 |
| hachre | even with ati drivers installed? | 11:36 |
| rymate1234 | hachre, on windows or linux | 11:37 |
| jinja | rymate1234, is it a new laptop? i have an old IBM Thinkpad and it freezes too sometimes. a technician told me its the old hard disks that doesnt spin right.. | 11:38 |
| hachre | rymate1234: I mean, the freezing windows, does that happen even with ati drivers installed | 11:38 |
| rymate1234 | jinja, could be that | 11:38 |
| rymate1234 | hachre, yes | 11:38 |
| hachre | yea I was thinking hard drive too | 11:38 |
| hachre | but if it works on ubuntu... | 11:38 |
| rymate1234 | I might just save up for a new HDD | 11:38 |
| rymate1234 | I need a bigger one anyway XD | 11:38 |
| rymate1234 | hachre, the HDD doesn't seem to spin right in windows. | 11:39 |
| catphish | if i install ubuntu onto USB sticks, is there anything in particular that should be done to minimize writes | 11:41 |
| rymate1234 | catphish, don't install much? | 11:41 |
| manata | hello everyone, I am trying to compile bluez 5, but I am getting this : "sytemd system unit dir... configure: error: systemd system unit directory is required" what am I missing? Thx | 11:41 |
| catphish | rymate1234: i've installed a default 12.04 server | 11:42 |
| iceroot | manata: ubuntu is not using "systemd", that is part of debian | 11:45 |
| manata | thanks for the prompt replay iceroot, then is it possible to compile bluez on ubuntu? (I guess it does, but I don't know how) | 11:46 |
| hachre | manata: bluez is included with ubuntu | 11:48 |
| hachre | mantana: but you probably need patches | 11:48 |
| hachre | manata* | 11:48 |
| iceroot | manata: bluez is in the repos, why need to compile it yourself? | 11:49 |
| iceroot | !info bluez | 11:49 |
| manata | hm, I just upgrade the 12.04 | 11:49 |
| ubottu | bluez (source: bluez): Bluetooth tools and daemons. In component main, is optional. Version 4.101-0ubuntu6 (quantal), package size 965 kB, installed size 2375 kB | 11:49 |
| manata | so it is not necessary to install bluez from source? | 11:49 |
| iceroot | manata: no | 11:50 |
| iceroot | manata: ubuntu is a distro where the software is precompiled in the repos and you can install the binary versions with the software-center or apt-get | 11:50 |
| iceroot | !repos | manata | 11:50 |
| ubottu | manata: The packages in Ubuntu are divided into several sections. More information at https://help.ubuntu.com/community/Repositories - See https://wiki.ubuntu.com/RecommendedSources for the recommended way to set up your repositories. | 11:50 |
| manata | thanks everyone | 11:50 |
| manata | I will check around | 11:50 |
| iceroot | manata: sudo apt-get install bluez is the command to install the package "bluez" | 11:50 |
| CorySimmons | How do I show hidden files in ls? | 11:51 |
| iceroot | CorySimmons: ls -all | 11:52 |
| manata | is it necessary to add some special ppa iceroot? just to keep it up-to date | 11:52 |
| CorySimmons | iceroot: Thanks. It seems ls -al (note the missing L) does the same | 11:52 |
| iceroot | manata: if you want major updates, yes. normally the packages for a ubuntu release like 12.04 will only get security updates but no new features (there are some exceptions like firefox, chromium) | 11:53 |
| iceroot | CorySimmons: its -a which is doing the trick | 11:53 |
| iceroot | CorySimmons: see man ls | 11:53 |
| iceroot | -a, --all | 11:53 |
| iceroot | do not ignore entries starting with | 11:53 |
| iceroot | . | 11:53 |
| sheldor | when i install ubuntu to a flash drive using UNetbootin and then install new drivers etc, will they persist? | 11:56 |
| sheldor | or will only user data persist? | 11:56 |
| CorySimmons | iceroot: Thanks man :) | 11:57 |

| iceroot | sheldor: its a normal installation, so it will be persist | 12:03 |
| imark | James_m: okay try to do a full update using the terminal, it will give you a better idea of whats going wrong, if anything, use these commands in a terminal | 12:03 |
| imark | sudo apt-get update | 12:03 |

| Shash | i am new to ubuntu, i found on internet that i can customize my ubuntu 12.10 using my unity, i tried installing my unity from synaptic and terminal, but it says you have held broken packages. how to fix it? | 12:08 |
| MonkeyDust | Shash first get familiar with ubuntu, then try changing and modifyibg things | 12:08 |
| jinja | Shash, maybe you should recheck your sources list | 12:08 |

| Shash | how to check source list? | 12:09 |
| jrib | Shash: why? | 12:09 |
| James_m | What is the difference between dselect-upgrade and normal upgrade as a parameter to apt-get? I don't have dselect installed, wouldn't be it safer to go with just upgrade option? | 12:10 |
| MonkeyDust | Shash start with the basics, what you want is not basic | 12:10 |
| Niloc | Is it possible to install a software package on one laptop and then transfer installation files to another laptop so as to be able install there? | 12:10 |
| jinja | Shash, in a terminal type "sudo gedit /etc/apt/sources.list" | 12:10 |
| BlackThorneDK | Niloc: yes, you just transfer the .deb packages to the other machine | 12:10 |
| Niloc | BlackThorneDK - Where can I find these deb packages? | 12:12 |
| starbuck | MonkeyDust: when i go to system Settings -> software sources -> additional drivers i have a few nvidia drivers to choose from, which one is the best (performance and stability) | 12:12 |
| Shash | jinja: done, now what do i have to edit in that file | 12:12 |

| jinja | Shash, have you mofidied this file before? | 12:13 |
| BlackThorneDK | unless you have purged this dir somehow of course | 12:14 |
| Niloc | Thanx for advice, I'll need to go readup about the suggestions. | 12:14 |
| Shash | jinja: earlier i serched a bit on internet and found a solution, it suggested to uncomment some lines from that file. but all lines were already uncommented from that file. | 12:14 |
| shcherbak | Niloc: locate *.deb | less (to see all of them) | 12:15 |
| Niloc | Ok thanks. Cheers | 12:16 |
| BlackThorneDK | if you transfer a package, you can eighter install it, by using 'dpkg -i <.deb>' or just open it in aptitude | 12:16 |
| jinja | Shash, yeah... its likely that that was the reason why you get broken packages. i think you should rebuild the whole thing all over again, update and install. | 12:16 |

| fidel | hi - using 12.04 here - docky crashes each time i do run apt-get update && apt-get upgrade. This seems to be a problem reported by many ppl - but so far i havent found a fix. Any info if 12.04 is supposed to get a fixed version at all? | 12:26 |
| ctfTijG | arkie: no, you need to have an unused partition | 12:26 |
| k1l_ | arkie: which hdd should have other content and what contenc you mean? | 12:26 |
| iceroot | arkie: sure, you just need unused space on the hdd, which will be transformed into partitons | 12:26 |
| arkie | im happy to wipe my laptop when installing ubuntu | 12:27 |
| James_m | k1l_: Ubuntu had earlier told me that there are upgrades available, I chose to install them and it complained that installation was not possible, then I tried to upgrade system from command line and it returned message that there are no upgrades by now | 12:27 |
| iceroot | arkie: unused space = not part of a partition now | 12:27 |

| haled | sudo apt-get upgrade tells me that some of the packages have been kept back (the kernel and its derivatives) but the GUI updater updates those as well. Does that make sense? | 12:38 |

| jrib | haled: sudo apt-get dist-upgrade | 12:39 |
| jrib | !dist- | 12:39 |
| jrib | !dist-upgrade | haled | 12:39 |
| ubottu | haled: A dist-upgrade will install new dependencies for packages already installed and may remove packages if they are no longer needed. This will not bring you to a new release of Ubuntu, see !upgrade if that is your intention. | 12:39 |
| haled | so dist-upgrade is the same as using the GUI? | 12:40 |

| bbrelin | Hello all... | 12:53 |
| bbrelin | Any support people on? | 12:54 |
| MonkeyDust | bbrelin this is the support channel | 12:54 |
| beliveyourdream | MonkeyDust: no ... i want that for example .. skype have a different output volume than my audio player | 12:54 |
| bbrelin | okay... | 12:54 |
| bbrelin | So, I have a quick question... | 12:54 |
| killer | sudo modprobe -r b43 ssb wl brcmfmac brcmsmac bcma | 12:55 |
| bbrelin | I've set up a Xen guest VM using xen-tools create and then I ran xm create <configfile> to create the VM so that it can be seen via xm list | 12:55 |
| killer | when i do above it says in error that "sudo modprobe -r b43 ssb wl brcmfmac brcmsmac bcma | 12:55 |
| killer | ERROR (dkms apport): kernel package linux-headers-3.8.5-030805-generic is not spportedError | 12:55 |
| bbrelin | When I run xm console <domain>, it throws me into the text graphics Ubuntu installation screens. | 12:56 |
| MonkeyDust | bbrelin is that a server? if yes, better ask in #ubuntu-server | 12:56 |
| ActionParsnip | killer: then you are using a 3rd party kernel | 12:56 |
| bbrelin | Well, the problem is an Ubuntu install question, not a server question. | 12:56 |
| bbrelin | so I figured that I'd start here. | 12:56 |
| killer | it is from kernel.ubuntu.com | 12:56 |
| MonkeyDust | bbrelin i'm asking, because Xen is server technology | 12:56 |
| === matthew is now known as Guest37262 | ||
| bbrelin | Anyway, I can't figure out how to change the mirror URL in the install. | 12:56 |
| ActionParsnip | killer: its not from the official repos, so its 3rd party | 12:56 |
| ActionParsnip | killer: we can only support kernels from the official repos | 12:57 |
| bbrelin | It asks me for the country, and then automatically fills it in like: ie.archive.ubuntu.com | 12:57 |
| ActionParsnip | !info linux-image-generic quantal | 12:57 |
| ubottu | linux-image-generic (source: linux-meta): Generic Linux kernel image. In component main, is optional. Version 3.5.0.27.43 (quantal), package size 2 kB, installed size 32 kB | 12:57 |
| killer | ActionParsnip: well i needed something that was not supported in 3.2 kernel | 12:57 |
| bbrelin | Unfortunately, this URL is invalid and the installation fails complaining that it can't find the URL. | 12:57 |
| ActionParsnip | killer: so try 3.5.0.27 and se if it works there | 12:57 |
| killer | ActionParsnip: IN PRECISE? | 12:57 |
| ActionParsnip | killer: then I suggest you upgrade to Quantal, or report a bug | 12:57 |
| bbrelin | I can't actually change the value in the field to point it to a correct URL... | 12:58 |
| bbrelin | How do I do this? | 12:58 |
| MonkeyDust | bbrelin put all that in one line and repeat it every 10 minutes or so, until someone enters who can help | 12:58 |
| bbrelin | okay. | 12:58 |
| bbrelin | Is there a more suitable forum for this question? | 12:59 |
| Pici | bbrelin: but ie.archive.ubuntu.com is a valid url. | 12:59 |
| ActionParsnip | killer: the guys in #linux may help | 12:59 |
| bbrelin | Pici: I want to change it to ftp.heanet.ie/mirrors/ubuntu/ | 12:59 |

| t3hb055nueb | dvdauthor (application). .......... I am learning how to burn dvd. Music and Movies. Newbie I am. | 13:23 |
| ActionParsnip | t3hb055nueb: if you have lots of clips and want to make a DVD of them, I can recommend devede | 13:24 |
| ActionParsnip | t3hb055nueb: it will spit out a DVD ISO which you can burn using any burning application | 13:24 |
| t3hb055nueb | how about k3b? | 13:25 |
| ActionParsnip | t3hb055nueb: sure | 13:25 |
| kohvihoor | t3hb055nueb: how are you installing dvdauthor? | 13:25 |
| t3hb055nueb | ActionParsnip: Thanks bud. | 13:25 |
| ActionParsnip | t3hb055nueb: if your deskto pis GTK based then you will haul in a lot or Qt packages as deps | 13:25 |
| t3hb055nueb | I am removing brasero actually... | 13:25 |
| t3hb055nueb | using ubuntu 12.04, gtk based? | 13:26 |
| ActionParsnip | i've never had success with Brasero, I always use xfburn | 13:26 |
| ActionParsnip | t3hb055nueb: if you are using Gnome desktop then yes | 13:26 |
| t3hb055nueb | then you will haul in a lot or Qt packages as deps ??? | 13:26 |
| ActionParsnip | t3hb055nueb: yes, as K3b uses KDE and Qt stuff which you don't have installed right now | 13:27 |
| Coveiro | hello guys | 13:27 |
| t3hb055nueb | Is there a good alternativve to k3b? For gnome? | 13:28 |
| ActionParsnip | !burning | 13:28 |
| ubottu | CD/DVD burning software: k3b (KDE), brasero (GNOME), gnomebaker, xcdroast, wodim (command-line) | To burn ISO files, see https://help.ubuntu.com/community/BurningIsoHowto | 13:28 |
| ActionParsnip | I like xfburn, its simple enough | 13:28 |
| t3hb055nueb | xfburn, works on gnome then? | 13:28 |
| t3hb055nueb | Last question I think, if I install k3b on my system now. Will I have to install more things? What are the negative points of that? | 13:29 |
| ActionParsnip | t3hb055nueb: sure, they all will work | 13:29 |
| trapni | Hey. by trying to install NVIDIA drivers, my system didn't run (unity) so I uninstalled them, and now Unity isn't working anymore, because it can't load GLX (also no /usr/lib/libGL.so.* symlinks were present) - is there a way to just re-install xorg's Mesa OpenGL packages? which one should I re-install and how ? | 13:29 |
| ActionParsnip | t3hb055nueb: the package system will install what is needed, it depends if space is a luxury | 13:29 |
| DrGrov | ActionParsnip: Hi there. You helped me with my nVidia stuff earlier a while back. | 13:30 |
| ActionParsnip | trapni: which release are you using? | 13:30 |
| magesing | Hi everyone, I'm replacing my 32bit ubuntu installation with a 64bit installation... I have / /boot and /home on RAID -1 arrays (seperate partitions). During the install I got a message "Unable to install GRUB in /dev/sda Executing 'grub-install /dev/dsa' failed, this is a fatal error" What's the proper way to install grub on a RAID array again? thanks. | 13:30 |
| DrGrov | ActionParsnip: Now I might need some assistance again with Nouveau, EDID on or off and such. You probably are busy though. | 13:30 |
| t3hb055nueb | ActionParsnip: You pwn. | 13:30 |
| trapni | ActionParsnip, I just upgraded to 13.04 yesterday (though, tried nvidia binary driver just today) | 13:31 |
| ActionParsnip | t3hb055nueb: been around a while, there are many better than I | 13:31 |
| ActionParsnip | trapni: then your support is in #ubuntu+1 til release | 13:31 |
| trapni | ActionParsnip, that's a channel name? with that +1 at the end? hehe | 13:31 |
| ActionParsnip | trapni: its for prerelease versions of ubuntu | 13:32 |
| t3hb055nueb | Can someone suggest a pro dvd/cd ripper? | 13:32 |
| phschwartz | I have 45 boxes that I am trying to manage in a loop doing software updates. There is an update to mysql that it is trying to install and fails as in a loop over ssh with -C there is no readline console to select if I want it to override /etc/mysql/my.cnf. Is there a way to automate the answer to this? | 13:32 |
| ActionParsnip | t3hb055nueb: cd ripping can be done with sound-juicer | 13:33 |
| DrGrov | ActionParsnip: If you got time could you please look into my Xorg.0.log? The monitor can and should do 1920x1080 but can not with the nouveau driver. The reason I went for nouveau is that I got segfaults with nvidia-current that I saw in Xorg.0.log.old. http://paste.ubuntu.com/5695265/ | 13:33 |
| t3hb055nueb | cd ie music? | 13:33 |
| ActionParsnip | DrGrov: my xorg skills are low, I could give you my xorg.conf and you can tweak it as you need | 13:33 |
| DrGrov | ActionParsnip: Those segfaults caused my browsers (Chromium/Firefox/Chrome) to just throw me back to the login screen. | 13:33 |
| ActionParsnip | t3hb055nueb: yes | 13:33 |
| t3hb055nueb | how about movies? | 13:34 |
| DrGrov | ActionParsnip: I got a xorg.conf already actually :) The backup that you helped with earlier. | 13:34 |
| trapni | ActionParsnip, i c | 13:34 |
| ActionParsnip | t3hb055nueb: not something I do, I go and buy them, they are cheap | 13:34 |
| ActionParsnip | t3hb055nueb: then I use an optical drive and play them | 13:34 |
| ActionParsnip | t3hb055nueb: maybe others can advise | 13:34 |
| t3hb055nueb | Yea, me too. Copy right material laws state that you are allowed to have one copy of something you own and paid for. | 13:35 |
| trapni | but maybe you still know what I would have to do on a 12.10 version to ensure that Mesa GL is used, do you? | 13:35 |
| DrGrov | ActionParsnip: The thing though is that the EDID is apparently just giving me 1360x768 when I should do 1920x1080 as I do with nvidia-current. Any ideas if EDID disabling would help? | 13:35 |
| DrGrov | ActionParsnip: Or a custom modeline? ;-) | 13:35 |

| mysticalzero | DrGrov: worth a try. ignore edid and set custom modes in xorg.conf | 13:38 |
| tirengarfio_ | is maybe because the memory?? | 13:39 |
| DrGrov | mysticalzero: Care to help out on how to actually do that? :) I am really not a mastermind on xorg.conf in these cases. | 13:39 |

| snuggl | akke: no it needs to be an ubuntu image | 14:10 |
| snuggl | arkie: event | 14:11 |
| iceroot | arkie: luks is the default on ubuntu so i would suggest to use the default which is tested officially | 14:11 |
| snuggl | even* | 14:11 |
| jrib | john_doe_jr: what are you installing? | 14:11 |
| iceroot | john_doe_jr: normally noone compiling software by hand on a server | 14:11 |
| iceroot | john_doe_jr: you want software with update-support which is managed by the repos | 14:11 |
| john_doe_jr | jrib: ffmpeg | 14:12 |
| iceroot | john_doe_jr: sudo apt-get install ffmpeg | 14:12 |
| john_doe_jr | I'm following the instructions found @ the following link: https://ffmpeg.org/trac/ffmpeg/wiki/UbuntuCompilationGuide | 14:12 |
| iceroot | john_doe_jr: why compiling? its in the repos | 14:12 |
| jrib | john_doe_jr: is there a reason you don't use libav? That's what ubuntu provides in the repositories | 14:12 |
| snuggl | john_doe_jr: thats if you want to compile it your self, you should have a separate reason to do that, if you dont have a reason, use the prebuilt in the repos | 14:13 |
| john_doe_jr | snuggl: why offer the option to compile then…I don't understand…I guess to have the most up to date software? | 14:13 |
| snuggl | use it as a rule of thumb that never build from source if you dont know *why* it needs to be compiled | 14:13 |
| snuggl | john_doe_jr: because sometimes you have to do it | 14:14 |
| john_doe_jr | snuggl: ok…for example? | 14:14 |
| snuggl | for example if you want a later version then available in repos, or apply patches etc. | 14:14 |
| MonkeyDust | john_doe_jr use what's in the repos, that's the easiest thing to do, the lastest is not always the best | 14:14 |
| snuggl | change the code yourself | 14:14 |
| snuggl | etc etc | 14:14 |
| john_doe_jr | snuggl: I see…thanks I understand now | 14:14 |
| snuggl | as a rule of thumb, package maintainers are better then us users on picking stuff that works togheter | 14:15 |
| snuggl | so trust them with it | 14:15 |
| snuggl | or they should be at least =) | 14:15 |
| john_doe_jr | If you notice the ./configure command enables a lot of options…does the precompiled binary using sudo apt-get install ffmpeg automatically have those options enabled? | 14:15 |
| Ian_Corne | Greetings | 14:16 |
| MonkeyDust | john_doe_jr sudo apt-get install ffmpeg, then: man ffmpeg | 14:16 |
| Ian_Corne | Any way to resize a live partition? | 14:16 |
| cool_boy | hay there ! | 14:17 |
| MonkeyDust | Ian_Corne gparted | 14:17 |
| Ian_Corne | that works on a live partition? | 14:17 |
| Ian_Corne | I need a serversided solution :) | 14:17 |
| Ian_Corne | so no gui apps | 14:17 |
| MonkeyDust | Ian_Corne guess you mean resizing partitions when you're in a live session | 14:17 |
| Ian_Corne | yes | 14:17 |
| IdleOne | Ian_Corne: you can't resize a mounted partition | 14:17 |
| Ian_Corne | ok | 14:17 |
| cool_boy | I have installed ubuntu 12.04 on my PC, but upper arrow key doesn't works on terminal | 14:18 |
| Ian_Corne | Boo | 14:18 |
| john_doe_jr | MonkeyDust: alight..I man ffmpeg and I don't see anything about the configuring options | 14:18 |
| Ian_Corne | My vps doesn't give me the option to choose my own partition table | 14:18 |
| cool_boy | If I type a command , I always need to retype it, Can't use upper arrow key's functionality | 14:18 |
| cool_boy | does someone have idea about it? | 14:18 |
| MonkeyDust | john_doe_jr man shows the options | 14:18 |
| Pici | cool_boy: are you sure you're using bash? | 14:18 |
| Ian_Corne | cool_boy: if you prepend the command with a space, it'll not save it | 14:18 |
| cool_boy | Pici: what is bash? | 14:19 |
| Ian_Corne | are you copying commands from the web? | 14:19 |
| Pici | MonkeyDust: I think john_doe_jr wanted the ./configure options that were used to compile ffmpeg | 14:19 |
| IdleOne | Ian_Corne: sounds like you need to open a support ticket with the VPS | 14:19 |
| cool_boy | Ian_Corne: No | 14:19 |
| Ian_Corne | they don't support it IdleOne :) | 14:19 |
| Ian_Corne | I asked | 14:19 |
| ActionParsnip | cool_boy: sure, bash history rocks | 14:19 |
| Pici | cool_boy: what does echo $SHELL say? | 14:19 |
| ActionParsnip | cool_boy: if you run: exec bash do you get the functionality? | 14:19 |
| cool_boy | Pici: nothing ,blank | 14:20 |
| Ian_Corne | cool_boy: how did you start your terminal? | 14:21 |
| cool_boy | ActionParsnip: yes , it get if I do exec bash | 14:21 |
| cool_boy | Ian_Corne: ctrl + T | 14:21 |
| ActionParsnip | cool_boy: I have to do that on some solaris boxes I manage | 14:21 |
| Ian_Corne | normal standard 12.04 should give you bash when you open a terminal | 14:21 |
| snuggl | cool_boy: did you make the install? | 14:22 |
| ActionParsnip | cool_boy: cool_boy run: sudo cp /root/.profile ~/.profile; sudo chown $USER:$USER ~/.profile | 14:22 |
| Pici | ActionParsnip: whoa. if anything you should be copying /etc/skel/.profile | 14:22 |
| ActionParsnip | Pici: either is fine | 14:23 |
| killer | hey | 14:23 |
| killer | is there a way i can install kernel 3.6 in ubuntu 12.10 ....really i need it | 14:23 |
| ActionParsnip | Pici: but yeah skel would be mildly better | 14:23 |
| cool_boy | before run bash it was just '$ ' sign ...after running command it is "openerp@openerpserver:~$" | 14:23 |
| MonkeyDust | killer you'd need a ppa, but that's not supported here and you'd be on your o< | 14:24 |
| MonkeyDust | own* | 14:24 |
| ActionParsnip | cool_boy: copy a .profile file from /etc/skel and chown it to your user, should do it | 14:24 |
| killer | MonkeyDust: i can always uninstall the kernel if it does not work | 14:25 |
| cool_boy | ActionParsnip: I ran this command sudo cp /root/.profile ~/.profile; sudo chown $USER:$USER ~/.profile | 14:25 |
| cool_boy | system asked password | 14:25 |
| ActionParsnip | cool_boy: yes, type your user login password (you will get no feedback) | 14:25 |
| cool_boy | but after reopen terminal , I get on the same problem | 14:25 |
| cool_boy | i did not get any feedback | 14:26 |
| ActionParsnip | cool_boy: you won't. | 14:26 |
| cool_boy | then? | 14:27 |
| ActionParsnip | cool_boy: do you need to run: exec bash again? | 14:27 |
| cool_boy | my problem is not solved | 14:27 |
| Ian_Corne | cool_boy: | 14:27 |
| Ian_Corne | run chsh /bin/bash | 14:27 |
| cool_boy | yes , I still do otherwise I am with same problem | 14:27 |
| Ian_Corne | or just chsh | 14:27 |
| Pici | cool_boy: run chsh, then enter your password, then enter /bin/bash | 14:27 |

| Pici | cool_boy: don't take the default, you need to replace that with /bin/bash | 14:36 |
| cool_boy | Pici: thanks, works | 14:37 |
| mouseofthesteppe | I don't actually know how to get out of this user into a normal directory | 14:37 |
| cool_boy | thank you soo ooooooooooo much | 14:37 |
| cool_boy | :) | 14:37 |
| mouseofthesteppe | I know its cd, but that doesn't do it for user | 14:38 |
| Myrtti | mouseofthesteppe: /var/cache/apt or var/cache/apt? | 14:38 |
| Myrtti | there is a difference. | 14:38 |
| ActionParsnip | Myrtti: depends on pwd. It could be the same ;) | 14:38 |
| mouseofthesteppe | myrtti: when browsing the GUI, i want to go to the var thats sitting in the most basic of directories | 14:39 |
| mouseofthesteppe | before home | 14:39 |
| mouseofthesteppe | its the apt that holds all the downloads | 14:40 |
| mouseofthesteppe | so i can check a sha1 | 14:40 |
| ActionParsnip | mouseofthesteppe: then run: nautilus /var/cache/apt/archives | 14:40 |
| mouseofthesteppe | ActionParsnip: no password | 14:40 |
| mouseofthesteppe | I mean yes password, same one | 14:41 |
| ActionParsnip | mouseofthesteppe: your user can read the data without need for any passwords | 14:41 |
| mouseofthesteppe | ActionParsnip: your command opens the window, is that a sign? | 14:42 |
| ActionParsnip | mouseofthesteppe: yes, you can now see the old deb files etc | 14:42 |
| t3hb055nueb | how do I disable the guest account? | 14:42 |
| mouseofthesteppe | ActionParsnip: sure but I want to know how to get to the directory inside the command line, because as far as i'm aware, its required to be inside a directory to check the sum1 of a file in it | 14:43 |
| ActionParsnip | mouseofthesteppe: cd /var/cache/apt/archives | 14:43 |
| Pici | mouseofthesteppe: you can just do sha1sum /path/to/file | 14:44 |
| ActionParsnip | t3hb055nueb: sudo passwd -l guest | 14:44 |
| t3hb055nueb | -l? | 14:44 |
| ActionParsnip | t3hb055nueb: read the man page | 14:44 |
| t3hb055nueb | ActionParsnip: Thanks, I did. Man -l? didnt get it | 14:45 |
| mouseofthesteppe | ActionParsnip: thanks, i'm there. i got hung up on why cd /var had worked but cd /cache hadn't and thought it had to do with users, but now i'm there so i'll do the sha1 test | 14:45 |

| t3hb055nueb | man passwd | 14:46 |
| Pici | t3hb055nueb: on a terminal, not here. | 14:46 |
| ActionParsnip | mouseofthesteppe: cd /cache would only work if there was a folder called cache in the root of the file ssytem next to /etc and /home | 14:46 |
| ActionParsnip | mouseofthesteppe: if you drop the leading '/' it will enter the folder if it is present in the pwd | 14:46 |

| magesing | Hi everyone, How do I play with grub2's configuration having booted from the install media? | 14:53 |
| t3hb055nueb | sudo restart lightdm... terminal is stuck at that point | 14:53 |
| ActionParsnip | magesing: in what way? | 14:53 |
| magesing | ActionParsnip: telling it where / is, which kernel to boot etc. | 14:54 |
| magesing | ActionParsnip: the auto-install of grub from the installer failed | 14:54 |
| magesing | ActionParsnip: so I'm stuck doing it myself | 14:54 |
| ActionParsnip | magesing: do you dual boot? | 14:54 |
| magesing | ActionParsnip: no, but I am installing on a software raid-1 setup | 14:55 |
| magesing | ActionParsnip: the installer doesn't play nicely with mdadm | 14:55 |
| newba | hi, don't know where to ask for help… I'm getting lots of connection timeouts to launchpad.net servers, from AWS | 14:55 |
| magesing | ActionParsnip: to get the install to happen I had to mdadm --assemble all my /deb/md devices, and then the installer could see them | 14:56 |
| magesing | ActionParsnip: that's /dev/md devices | 14:56 |
| ActionParsnip | newba: I'd ask in #launchpad then :) | 14:56 |
| ActionParsnip | magesing: i've not played with mdadm | 14:56 |
| magesing | ActionParsnip: the arrays are up and working | 14:56 |
| newba | ActionParsnip: yeah tks | 14:56 |
| magesing | ActionParsnip: I just need to know how to get at the grub2 configuration | 14:56 |
| magesing | I've been reading that I need to edit some files in /etc and then grub-update | 14:57 |
| magesing | however the /etc in my current root is on a ramdisk, so I don't think editing those files would be too helpful | 14:57 |
| magesing | do I have to mount everything and chroot for this to work? | 14:57 |
| anew | so when running top what does the bold line mean ? | 14:58 |
| magesing | Are there any helpful grub configuration utilities on the install media? | 15:00 |

| shiin | jambeedrum: http://www.medfloss.org/node/256 like those? | 15:25 |
| ClientAlive | it may also be partly due to the laptop itself though (part of it). It is a newer HP and the F keys serve a dual purpose (things like volume and toggle illuminated keyboard, etc). | 15:25 |
| jambeedrum | let me check | 15:25 |
| jambeedrum | whats a distro for science or medecine? | 15:26 |
| ClientAlive | jambeedrum: scientific linux is one | 15:26 |
| ClientAlive | jambeedrum: for forensic work there is SMART linux but I think you have to pay for it | 15:26 |
| RedViper | wilee-nilee: Pardon my intelligence then. It gets even more frustrating when one cant get help. Could you point me in the right direction? A web page explaining would be nice? | 15:27 |
| wilee-nilee | RedViper, I would say the ubuntu forums is an excellent place to get help in this. | 15:27 |
| andycc | MonkeyDust: I just manually edited resolv.conf, it works now - NetworkManager isn't working properly, it seems. Thanks. | 15:27 |
| cypt_not_avaible | Hello can somebody help me out> | 15:28 |
| wilee-nilee | RedViper, It is a simple as booting the live cd and choosing the something else optio and pointing the install at the second drive and making sure grub is in its mbr. | 15:28 |
| ClientAlive | RedViper: can you paste the link again? No promises but if I can help I will. Just that I just came on the chanel and can't see your earlier conversation in the screen. | 15:28 |
| wilee-nilee | s/option | 15:28 |
| jambeedrum | shiin: i think those distros are for professionals | 15:28 |
| MonkeyDust | andycc great (y) | 15:28 |
| RedViper | wilee-nilee: Why should it be any different from here. In fact need to get over t problem as soon as possible? | 15:28 |
| cypt_not_avaible | Wenn i start up my laptop he is sayting crypt setup not avaible | 15:29 |
| RedViper | ClientAlive: http://paste.ubuntu.com/5695627/ | 15:29 |
| ClientAlive | RedViper: one moment | 15:29 |
| shiin | jambeedrum: thats the point, you're talking about science and medicine. those are two highly professional topics. | 15:29 |
| wilee-nilee | RedViper, Not to offend you, but this is hand holding, and the IRC does not equate faster. | 15:29 |
| wilee-nilee | one gets tired of having to work so hard to explain stuff is all after 1000's of times | 15:30 |
| ClientAlive | RedViper: please describe your goal | 15:30 |
| HelenaKitty | Guys? | 15:30 |
| MonkeyDust | HelenaKitty | 15:30 |
| cypt_not_avaible | Wenn i start up my laptop he is sayting crypt setup not avaible | 15:30 |
| HelenaKitty | I'm about to install Ubuntu onto a nexus 7. Please could you tell me if this will work for armhf and perform smoothly? http://www.techrepublic.com/blog/opensource/how-to-get-netflix-streaming-on-ubuntu-1210/4019 | 15:30 |
| RedViper | wilee-nilee: If you could not be bothered to help then please dont waste my time! | 15:30 |
| jambeedrum | shiin: do you think those distros have a applications for "learning" or preformind? | 15:31 |
| jambeedrum | preforming | 15:31 |
| ActionParsnip | HelenaKitty: I don't know if the PPA supportes ARM, you may want to check | 15:31 |
| HelenaKitty | I don't use Ubuntu so idk. | 15:31 |
| Myrtti | HelenaKitty: ubuntu and ubuntu touch are different things. I doubt you'd be able to. | 15:31 |
| wilee-nilee | RedViper, Heh, no problem, and that attitude will not help you, I was jsut being honest with how much I will help. ;) | 15:31 |
| HelenaKitty | Myrtti: Explain? | 15:32 |
| RedViper | ClientAlive: I am installing a dual boot with Windows 7 on a 160GB Hard Drive and Linux Mint on a 500GB Hard Drive, But I am unsure of setting up the Linux partitions on two separate hard disks. | 15:32 |
| MonkeyDust | RedViper have you asked help in the !mint channel? | 15:32 |
| Myrtti | HelenaKitty: ActionParsnips answer pretty much says it all. | 15:32 |
| ActionParsnip | RedViper: mint isn't supported here | 15:32 |
| ClientAlive | RedViper: what I can do is try to find you link with some info. I can't guarantee what I will find but if you give me 10 min I will look. | 15:33 |
| RedViper | wilee-nilee: Pointless Chatter Thanks for your help | 15:33 |
| wilee-nilee | RedViper, LOl I gave you the information needed you just do not understand it. ;) | 15:33 |
| RedViper | ActionParsnip: MonkeyDust: I mean Ubuntu 12.04. Sorry I am working with mint on another machine :) | 15:34 |
| RedViper | wilee-nilee: Thanks :) | 15:34 |
| ClientAlive | RedViper: is it an efi install or BIOS? Do you plan to put both operating systems on one disk and data storage on the other disk or will you place one operating system on each disk? | 15:34 |
| HelenaKitty | Okay some guy has installed Netflix on his Ubuntu Nexus 7. | 15:35 |
| wilee-nilee | HelenaKitty, Ubuntu on a nexus is rather problematic, and adding netflix is a going to make it worse. | 15:35 |
| snuggl | RedViper: swap - use as much as you have RAM, or more, /home - enough to store all normal files like docs, music. movies | 15:35 |
| HelenaKitty | wilee-nilee: Explain? | 15:35 |
| snuggl | and / for the rest | 15:35 |
| ActionParsnip | HelenaKitty: You can contact the maintainer of the PPA https://launchpad.net/~ehoover | 15:35 |
| HelenaKitty | I just want more freedom :( | 15:35 |
| snuggl | RedViper: if you only have three partitions you dont need logical | 15:35 |
| poisoned_dragon | RedViper, were you just on the spotchat server asking that question in a linuxmint room? | 15:35 |
| ActionParsnip | HelenaKitty: if Netflix is a requirement of the device then I would stick with Android | 15:35 |
| snuggl | RedViper: its used to go over the four partition limit | 15:35 |
| poisoned_dragon | I recognize the paste. | 15:35 |
| wilee-nilee | HelenaKitty, I have loaded ubuntu to my nexus 7 numerous times, it has problems with locking up and just is not responsive. | 15:35 |
| RedViper | ClientAlive: Its off a Live CD and I want to put An operating system on each Hard disk | 15:36 |
| snuggl | RedViper: and mount points are / and /home respective | 15:36 |
| * tgm4883 wonders how "wanting more freedom" also includes needing to use a proprietary service | 15:36 | |
| snuggl | RedViper: anything else you wish to know? | 15:36 |
| HelenaKitty | oh | 15:36 |
| RedViper | snuggl: How tp | 15:36 |
| HelenaKitty | That's cause Ubuntu get heavier by release. :/ | 15:36 |
| snuggl | RedViper: i cannot parse that sentence | 15:36 |
| ActionParsnip | HelenaKitty: not really | 15:37 |
| RedViper | snuggl: How to set it up would be helpful as I am very unsure how to do it? | 15:37 |
| HelenaKitty | Either way I know what I am doing so if it all fails I can restore back to android. | 15:37 |
| wilee-nilee | HelenaKitty, It is a development thing as of now is all the ubuntu touch is getting more work. | 15:37 |
| ActionParsnip | HelenaKitty: its because services like netflix refuse to support teh ubuntu platform | 15:37 |
| snuggl | RedViper: just use the partition tool in the installer | 15:37 |
| HelenaKitty | okies | 15:37 |
| HelenaKitty | ActionParsnip: Er... | 15:37 |
| HelenaKitty | I know that | 15:37 |
| snuggl | RedViper: its no worries if its goes wrong, just redo | 15:37 |
| HelenaKitty | but you said Ubuntu itself locks up | 15:37 |
| megha | i want to learn ubuntu packaging from where i can start learning...?? | 15:38 |
| HelenaKitty | megha: How about... | 15:38 |
| HelenaKitty | you learn APT all together | 15:38 |
| RedViper | snuggl: I like you thinking :). Ufortunately I don't really have time for redo's. | 15:38 |
| tgm4883 | megha, http://developer.ubuntu.com/packaging/html/ | 15:38 |
| ActionParsnip | megha: look into checkinstall | 15:38 |
| wilee-nilee | HelenaKitty, If you are familiar with flashing the nexus, I would say try it, first hand experience is probably your bet bet. | 15:38 |
| ActionParsnip | !checkinstall | 15:38 |
| ubottu | 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! | 15:38 |
| wilee-nilee | *best | 15:39 |
| snuggl | RedViper: tbh you could have done 3-4 tries in this time =) its quite fast | 15:39 |
| tgm4883 | ActionParsnip, checkinstall isn't a replacement for packaging | 15:39 |
| snuggl | RedViper: i would just do a swap that is as big as your RAM, then one partition for root | 15:39 |
| megha | thanks HelenaKitty tgm4883 ActionParsnip :) | 15:39 |
| HelenaKitty | You're welcome! | 15:40 |
| ActionParsnip | tgm4883: it makes deb files from compiled source, it is part of packaging | 15:40 |
| RedViper | snuggl: No, not an entire reinstall, and I want to do it properly. I also dont know what to set to Primary or Logical? Or Beginning or End? | 15:40 |
| ClientAlive | RedViper: I would install windows to the first disk (windows will call is C:\ and linux will call it sda). And put linux on the second. Where linux is concerned, it will be your bootloader which handles which disk to boot from (for linux, probalby but Mint may use something different - idk). If it is grub it will be in the way you configure /etc/fstab (a configuration file). You will want to use all primary partitions for both operating | 15:40 |
| ClientAlive | systems. Install each one separately like each is it's own project. Do win first, then linux on the second drive. | 15:40 |
| snuggl | RedViper: leave them as default | 15:41 |
| snuggl | RedViper: ive already answered about logical | 15:41 |
| snuggl | RedViper: its used to get around the four partition limit on physical partitions | 15:41 |
| tgm4883 | ActionParsnip, thats disingenuous. One doesn't usually ask to learn about packaging so they can just install stuff on their own system. One usually asks about packaging so they can package stuff for redistribution | 15:41 |
| snuggl | RedViper: as you only have three, use physical | 15:41 |
| tgm4883 | ActionParsnip, particularily in repos | 15:41 |
| snuggl | but it really doesnt matter | 15:41 |
| ActionParsnip | RedViper: I'd put both OSes on the same physical drive and have your user data, %TMP%, %TEMP% and swap partition on the other drive. | 15:41 |
| * DAL|Desktop facedesk | 15:41 | |
| miguitas | ActionParsnip: check https://github.com/jordansissel/fpm is better than checkinstall and more professional but is not a replacement for packaging | 15:42 |
| DAL|Desktop | Audio isn't working, I've a 5.1 surround sound card and jack keeps crashing | 15:42 |
| ActionParsnip | tgm4883: it helps if you compile your own packages fro source for stuff that isn't in the repos. Why is it such a bad thing to want to learn | 15:42 |
| tgm4883 | ActionParsnip, I didn't say it was bad to learn. I said it probably wasn't what he was after | 15:43 |
| daschel | hey guys. im getting a black screen when I try to boot into mint. i get past grub, but I never get to the display manager. now I can only use recovery mode. the last thing I remember doing is installing the squirrel sql manager. i've uninstalled that, but it still doesn't boot properly | 15:43 |
| ActionParsnip | tgm4883: ahh i see | 15:43 |
| RedViper | ActionParsnip: I have two hard disks and I want each operating system on it's own hard drive | 15:43 |
| daschel | oh, and i know this is an ubuntu channel, but the mint guys aren't responding | 15:43 |
| ActionParsnip | daschel: mint isnt supported here | 15:43 |
| RedViper | snuggl: I don't understant what the stuff does thou? | 15:43 |
| theadmin | daschel: Mint isn't a supported Ubuntu derivative, please click: irc://irc.spotchat.org/linuxmint-help | 15:43 |
| ActionParsnip | daschel: its still not supported here | 15:43 |
| tgm4883 | !mint | daschel | 15:43 |
| ubottu | daschel: Linux Mint is not a supported derivative of Ubuntu. Please seek support in #linuxmint-help on irc.spotchat.org | 15:43 |
| ClientAlive | RedViper: as far as how many GB and use as and mount point goes this should give you a good idea what to do. It's 4 yrs old but I'm sure it will be very similar to a current install. If you get stuck while in the process just ask for help again (prolly on a mint chanel): http://www.dedoimedo.com/computers/install_linuxmint.html | 15:44 |
| HelenaKitty | Okies beginning the Ubuntu flash process. | 15:44 |
| ActionParsnip | RedViper: that's fine, you can speed up windows by making an NTFS partition on the Ubuntu drive and storing your pagefile and %TEMP% there :) | 15:44 |
| HelenaKitty | Fingers crossed guys fingers crossed! | 15:44 |
| snuggl | RedViper: a logical partition is like partions-in-partions | 15:45 |
| snuggl | RedViper: its a trick, you tell the old hardware that you only have 4 partitons, as that is max, then software will fake the rest | 15:45 |
| Walther | Are there any reasons not to use LVM partitioning anymore, btw? | 15:45 |
| snuggl | Walther: no, not really | 15:45 |
| HelenaKitty | Guys? | 15:46 |
| ActionParsnip | Walther: allows you to add more space later and extend the partition, if memory serves | 15:46 |
| HelenaKitty | how big is the img file when decompressed? | 15:46 |
| HelenaKitty | O.o | 15:46 |
| snuggl | HelenaKitty: what? | 15:46 |
| HelenaKitty | my GB's are running out | 15:46 |
| ClientAlive | RedViper: what I mean to say earlier is that most of the larger linux systems use grub for the bootloader but I'm not familiar with Mint so not sure. | 15:46 |
| tgm4883 | HelenaKitty, probably a few GB | 15:46 |
| HelenaKitty | 2.2GB storage space now | 15:46 |
| daschel | i understand that, but the mint support isn't quite up to par. the ubuntu forums and channels are much more developed and whenever I can't find the solution directly through mint, the ubuntu team generally succeeds. even though it's not officially supported, would you mind just thinking it over? | 15:46 |
| wilee-nilee | HelenaKitty, I forget but it extracted is about 700mb | 15:46 |
| HelenaKitty | :o | 15:46 |
| theadmin | daschel: Not possible. See, it's like asking help about Ubuntu on Debian channels -- too much changed and nobody's even sure what exactly is. | 15:47 |
| tgm4883 | daschel, not entirely sure how that is our problem | 15:47 |
| wilee-nilee | same as a cd download pretty much HelenaKitty | 15:47 |
| ActionParsnip | daschel: no, its not supported here or in any of the ubuntu channels. Ubuntu (and many other distros) are based on Debian. But if you ask for Debian support in #debian you will be pointed here | 15:47 |
| HelenaKitty | WHAT?! | 15:47 |
| HelenaKitty | O.o | 15:47 |
| ActionParsnip | daschel: you aren't using ubuntu, you are using mint, so it's not suported here | 15:47 |
| HelenaKitty | oh cd few | 15:47 |
| HelenaKitty | I was thinking DVD haha | 15:47 |
| FloodBot1 | HelenaKitty: Please don't flood; use http://paste.ubuntu.com to paste; don't use Enter as punctuation. | 15:47 |
| HelenaKitty | my bad okies few | 15:47 |
| HelenaKitty | FloodBot1: sorry | 15:47 |
| DrGrov | ActionParsnip: I got the resolution as intended :) | 15:47 |
| maitrey | Hi! Question: after last update my usb and ext.hdd are not allowing to copy stuff without being root and also when I already open as root, than the copy speed is completely crazy 20mb-2hrs. Someone help please ;-) | 15:47 |
| HelenaKitty | Why did I get quietted? | 15:48 |
| ActionParsnip | DrGrov: sweet | 15:48 |
| theadmin | HelenaKitty: Happens when you send too many messages in a short time. | 15:48 |
| MonkeyDust | HelenaKitty don't hit the enter key too often, it's getting a headache | 15:49 |
| maitrey | Why would all the devices at once need to have permission? | 15:49 |
| wilee-nilee | HelenaKitty, If you post enough in a row the bot will quiet you. | 15:49 |
| DrGrov | ActionParsnip: It is, the only reason I got rid of nvidia-current and opted for nouveau was because of Chromium/Firefox/Chrome + Flash causing a segfault which I read through in /var/log/Xorg.0.log.old | 15:49 |
| HelenaKitty | Woah woah guys! haha I get it. lol | 15:49 |
| theadmin | Hm... "ubuntu-support-status --show-unsupported" lists some packages that came in the default Ubuntu install and definetly weren't updated through a PPA, e.g. unity-place-files. What gives? | 15:49 |
| allan8904 | Does anyone know the status on "ubuntu for android"? | 15:50 |
| DrGrov | ActionParsnip: I never thought I would get it done but apparently a little EDID magic did the trick haha :) Thanks again for the kind help and listening | 15:50 |
| jrib | theadmin: be more specific? | 15:50 |
| danny_ | hello, I am setting up a vm to test some stuff on ubuntu (host and vm). On the host, I created an nfs export so that the vm could store data on the real filesystem. When I mount the nfs on the vm, and try to 'ls -la' the mountpoint, I get denied. The user I logged in with is in the group the nfs export is owned by. | 15:50 |
| ActionParsnip | DrGrov: any time :) | 15:50 |
| theadmin | jrib: Not sure how can I be more specific. The package came with Ubuntu, no PPA/third party repo provides that package, I'm on a supported release (precise), but the program claims it's not supported? | 15:50 |
| theadmin | Trying to get the logic behind that | 15:51 |
| tgm4883 | theadmin, that package is in universe | 15:51 |
| tgm4883 | theadmin, Universe - Community maintained software, i.e. not officially supported software. | 15:51 |
| danny_ | Even when I run the 'ls -la' as root (with sudo) I get permission denied. It only works if I 'sudo -u <user>' to run it as the owner of the nfs mount. Why aren't group perms working? | 15:53 |
| tgm4883 | danny_, are you squashing root privs? | 15:53 |
| wilee-nilee | danny_, It help if you give the details leading to this conundrum to the channel. | 15:53 |
| === kriskrop1 is now known as kriskropd | ||
| wilee-nilee | help's* | 15:54 |
| danny_ | tgm4883: I used these options on the nfs server: (rw,async,insecure) | 15:55 |
| snuggl | danny_: do the users have same UID on both computers? | 15:55 |
| Ca11um | Is there any way of storing Ubuntu accounts on a LAN server, with synced documents? | 15:55 |
| snuggl | Ca11um: sure | 15:55 |
| Ca11um | Like Active Directory, but without all the full-blown features such as GP | 15:55 |
| ActionParsnip | Ca11um: you could make an LDAP server | 15:55 |
| jambeedrum | ty for everyones time | 15:55 |
| snuggl | Ca11um: there are several systems | 15:55 |
| snuggl | Ca11um: google PAM | 15:55 |
| Ca11um | Which is the most native? | 15:56 |
| tgm4883 | danny_, so then yes, you are squashing root privs over NFS | 15:56 |
| snuggl | Ca11um: neither really | 15:56 |
| ActionParsnip | Ca11um: I'd look at comparisons between, see which offers what you need | 15:56 |
| gizmobay | I have to change the extension on a lot of files in a directory. The files are file001.tif and file001.tif.html. I just need to change the file001.tif.html to file001.html | 15:57 |
| danny__ | snuggl: Yes, the vm has the same UIDs and GIDs for the users in question | 15:57 |
| tgm4883 | danny_, on both systems? | 15:57 |
| danny__ | (it appears my irc died, so i refreshed) | 15:57 |
| Ca11um | So with an OpenLDAP server, I can have the same accounts on every machine, and when they login they get the same interface and documents? | 15:57 |
| danny__ | If anyone responded to me, can you repeat as I lost connection for a minute | 15:58 |
| tgm4883 | danny_, so then yes, you are squashing root privs over NFS | 15:58 |
| snuggl | Ca11um: thats 2 steps | 15:58 |
| snuggl | Ca11um: remote auth, then shared storage | 15:58 |
| tgm4883 | danny_, so the VM and the NFS server have the same UID for the user? | 15:58 |
| snuggl | Ca11um: both are very doable sure | 15:58 |
| theadmin | tgm4883: Hm, that's odd, wonder why it's on here then. Definetly didn't install it manually | 15:59 |
| theadmin | Oh well | 15:59 |
| snuggl | Ca11um: for shared storage you could use SMB as windows does, or NFS or SSHFS or any of the network enabled file systems | 15:59 |
| tgm4883 | theadmin, it's probably included in the default install | 15:59 |
| danny__ | tgm4883: yes, the nfs export on the server is owned by www-data:www-data which is a system account which is preconfigured so the vm also has the same | 15:59 |
| theadmin | tgm4883: And that's my original question: Why would unsupported software be in a default install? | 15:59 |
| tgm4883 | danny__, no, not "are they the same user", the question was "are they the same UID" | 15:59 |
| tgm4883 | theadmin, why shouldn't it be? | 16:00 |
| gebin | !list | 16:00 |
| ubottu | gebin: No warez here! This is not a file sharing channel (or network); read the channel topic. If you're looking for information about me, type « /msg ubottu !bot ». If you're looking for a channel, see « /msg ubottu !alis ». | 16:00 |
| theadmin | tgm4883: ...Good point, after all this is Linux | 16:00 |
| theadmin | Heh | 16:00 |
| techgaun | wondering if anything could be done to separate bandwidth limits for normal internet browsing & downloading. Working on HTB implementation. Anyone has any idea on how this could be achieved? | 16:00 |
| danny__ | tgm4883: Yes, same UID and username. www-data is created as UID 33 at install time | 16:00 |
| tgm4883 | theadmin, it's a transitional package, so it doesn't even do anything | 16:01 |
| danny__ | tgm4883: I'm confused about how permissions on an nfs mount are parsed. | 16:01 |
| theadmin | tgm4883: Ah, ic | 16:01 |
| tgm4883 | danny__, IIRC, it just passes the UID | 16:02 |
| techgaun | The real deal is how to differentiate between the normal HTTP traffic & download traffic. | 16:02 |
| tgm4883 | danny__, IIRC, NFSv4 has some additional things you can setup for security, but I don't think they are on by default | 16:02 |
| danny__ | tgm4883: okay, I think I get it | 16:03 |
| tgm4883 | danny__, see "User ID Mapping" http://manpages.ubuntu.com/manpages/intrepid/man5/exports.5.html | 16:03 |
| sprezzatura | if i want to secure my slice(running ubuntu) on a VPS, does setting up iptables and fail2ban alone suffice. anything else that needs to be done? | 16:03 |
| Laurenceb__ | hi | 16:03 |
| Laurenceb__ | i have a big problem | 16:03 |
| theadmin | techgaun: I don't think this is possible, it's not different at all... I assume you could limit mimetypes that are application/* | 16:03 |
| Laurenceb__ | something died with my window manager on 10.04 | 16:04 |
| theadmin | techgaun: Or, if you're more strict, then just allow text/* and image/* | 16:04 |
| Laurenceb__ | i have lots the top of the windows | 16:04 |
| Laurenceb__ | can anyone help? | 16:04 |
| MonkeyDust | Laurenceb__ consider upgrading, in 3 weeks from now, 10.04 won't be supported anymore | 16:04 |
| theadmin | techgaun: Not sure if this is possible or not with whatever soft you're using, but trying to give the general idea | 16:04 |
| techgaun | theadmin: Hmm.. this could be done but still would not be full proof. | 16:04 |
| Laurenceb__ | yeah whatever | 16:05 |
| Laurenceb__ | i have stuff i need to fix NOW | 16:05 |
| Laurenceb__ | metacity --replace wont work over ssh | 16:05 |
| Laurenceb__ | and its too unusable to get a terminsl up | 16:05 |
| tgm4883 | Laurenceb__, you can't use keyboard combo to start terminal? | 16:06 |
| Laurenceb__ | tgm4883: i cant get focus to come out of firefox | 16:06 |
| theadmin | techgaun: See, browsers *download* wobpages and all their content. So, it's "download traffic". | 16:06 |
| tgm4883 | Laurenceb__, what if you close firefox? | 16:06 |
| studious | hello world | 16:06 |
| Laurenceb__ | tgm4883: i cant | 16:07 |
| Laurenceb__ | oh i could close over ssh | 16:07 |
| theadmin | Laurenceb__: To do "metacity --replace" over SSH first export DISPLAY=:0 | 16:07 |
| Laurenceb__ | ill try that | 16:07 |
| techgaun | One way to do this would be to throttle the bandwidth of the user if user keeps on reaching certain limit for certain timespan. Because, if he is just visiting some website, it would not cause high traffics for longer period of time. This could actually work as the heuristic for classifying the bandwidth. | 16:07 |
| ClientAlive | I'm running awesome wm (along with things like mc and w3m - console apps) in a virtual box vm. I'm having hot key confilicts with Ubuntu 12.04 (my host) and I need some clues where to work on solving the problem. Can anyone advise please? it may also be partly due to the laptop itself though (part of it). It is a newer HP and the F keys serve a dual purpose (things like volume and toggle illuminated keyboard, etc). | 16:07 |
| Laurenceb__ | ok thanks | 16:07 |
| Laurenceb__ | ill see if its fixed :P | 16:07 |
| theadmin | Laurenceb__: Still though, you really should upgrade to a new release. | 16:08 |
| Laurenceb | ok | 16:08 |
| Laurenceb | thats fixed it | 16:08 |
| theadmin | Laurenceb: Since Lucid is an LTS release, you can upgrade directly to the next LTS, being Precise (12.04). I advise that. | 16:09 |
| Laurenceb | yeah | 16:09 |
| Siraris | I had trouble with a drive on Amazon EC2 running Ubuntu, so I spun up a separate instance, and attached the volume as a slave device. If I have the original problem drive attached, I can't Ssh into the machine, if I don't have the problem drive attached, I can ssh in | 16:11 |
| Siraris | Does anyone know what the problem could be? | 16:11 |
| theadmin | Siraris: I suppose it boots into the problematic OS despite it being a slave, check your boot order if at all possible | 16:13 |
| Siraris | theadmin: I can check the syslog in the EC2 admin panel, and I see nothing about errors | 16:13 |
| SuperLag | Are you supposed to be able to pass a wildcard to apt-get install, so that if you want to install multiple packages with the same prefix, you can? (i.e. apt-get install open-vm-*) | 16:14 |
| somsip | Siraris: 'trouble with the drive' sounds like the EBS is b0rked. | 16:14 |
| jrib | theadmin: sorry, I had to leave suddenly. I meant listing the specific packages in question but I see you sorted it out already :) | 16:14 |
| theadmin | jrib: Yeah, thanks | 16:14 |
| Siraris | somsip: Well I'm looking at the syslog and I think I may see the problem. I'm using ElasticSearch on there and it says "The disk drive /mnt1/elasticsearch/data is not ready yet or not present. Continue to wait or press S to skip the mounting or M for manual recovery" | 16:15 |
| Siraris | I'm wondering if that's causing the problem | 16:15 |
| somsip | Siraris: sounds like the EBS is b0rked... | 16:15 |
| Siraris | somsip: Isn't there a way to not boot into the bad EBS volume and mount it as a slave so I can go into the filesystem and fix it? | 16:16 |
| somsip | Siraris: boot to the working one, then mount the other one | 16:16 |
| chaudhry | anyone got time to help me with a chunk of C code? | 16:16 |

| somsip | Siraris: yes | 16:16 |

When I open windows (any windows) in my desktop environment (Gnome? whatever came default with 12.10) I can't drag, resize, or close any of the windows with my mouse, the mouse cursor moves, clicks on buttons within applications are registered, but no clicks on title-bars or buttons on title bars seem to be registered... What's going on, and how do I fix it? | 16:35 |

| ActionParsnip | magesing: if you hold ALT, can you drag them? | 16:35 |
| magesing | ActionParsnip: not quite sure what happened, just started working... maybe compiz was taking time to load? I don't know | 16:36 |
| magesing | ActionParsnip: I'll try the alt thing if it re-occurs | 16:36 |

| widad | bazhang, the software i'm installing | 18:57 |
| bazhang | widad, what software is that | 18:57 |
| widad | eclipse | 18:57 |
| bazhang | widad, via apt-get ? | 18:57 |

| Quest | is there a biomatix thum impression hardware for attendance that can run on linux (and cannot be tampered by photo copied thumb prints on papers) . I need a good one, by which I can manipulate / use its database (where attendance record is present) to make another application by which records may be viewed on a website? | 18:58 |
| avid_fan | jcrza: Ok, what about the results of 'find /lib/modules -iname "atx"'? | 18:58 |

| widad | bazhang, what is the problem in my ubuntu? | 19:00 |
| shantanoo | hi, i have asus k-series laptop. amd a8, raedon hd 7640g display card. when i boot using ubuntu 12.10 and 13.04, i get blank sreen | 19:00 |
| timido | stercor, man chmod | 19:00 |
| stercor | llutz: I'm doing this as root. # prompt | 19:00 |
| shantanoo | seems like the display card is not supported properly | 19:00 |
| llutz | stercor: files are on ntfs/vfat? then use mountoptions (uid,gid,umask) | 19:00 |
| bazhang | widad, sounds like the repository is slow to respond, how long have you been waiting | 19:00 |
| shantanoo | any workaroud? | 19:00 |
| stercor | timido: I did. | 19:01 |
| SteveH_ | stercor: look at chgrp | 19:01 |
| bazhang | shantanoo, using nomodeset? | 19:01 |
| stercor | SteveH_: Good idea. | 19:01 |
| Bitwich | join #bitcoin | 19:01 |
| bazhang | !nomodeset | shantanoo | 19:01 |
| ubottu | shantanoo: 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 | 19:01 |
| shantanoo | bazhang: not sure what it is. how do i use that? | 19:01 |
| Bitwich | join #bitcoin - we are aiming for 2,000 users... currently at 1,975 | 19:02 |
| bazhang | Bitwich, stop that | 19:02 |

| jcrza | I guess it's better than nothing | 19:07 |
| jcrza | maybe one day Ubuntu will include drivers for this thingy by default. | 19:07 |

| jcrza | I'm in Ubuntu server so no network manager for me, if you're talking about a gui thing. | 19:08 |
| widad | bazhang, any help? | 19:08 |
| avid_fan | jcrza: When you rebooted, did you check to see if the module was loaded before the manual 'modprobe alx'? | 19:08 |
| jcrza | avid_fan: No I didn't, I don't know enough to :P | 19:09 |
| jcrza | I barely know what I'm doing now | 19:09 |
| jcrza | I just learned what blah | grep something did :D | 19:09 |
| jcrza | that pipe is neat, chaining commands | 19:09 |
| avid_fan | jcrza: Because it might have been loaded and you just need to modify '/etc/network/interfaces' to have it bring up the interface automagically. | 19:09 |
| bazhang | widad, well you need to either let the current install time out, or force stop it | 19:09 |
| widad | bazhang, how can i force stop it | 19:10 |
| avid_fan | jcrza: Oh, bash one-liners are my favorite. | 19:10 |
| bazhang | widad, what part of the process is it on currently? has is finished downloading, and is now configuring? | 19:10 |
| widad | no it's not downloading yet | 19:10 |
| widad | bazhang, no it's not downloading yet | 19:11 |
| bazhang | widad, what about using xkill ; open a terminal , type xkill , then put the X cursor on software center | 19:12 |
| widad | what will xkill do? | 19:12 |
| bazhang | widad, just what it says | 19:12 |
| avid_fan | jcrza: I'm not sure what device is created by loading the module, but you might also solve your issue, assuming the module is loading, by adding something like 'auto wlan0' and 'iface wlan0 inet dhcp'. | 19:13 |
| medeman | Hey there, I still have a problem with my SD card reader not being detected in Ubuntu (device: Acer Aspire One 756). I chatted with you guys here already and the only real suggestion was to update the BIOS. So I cloned my HDD, installed Windows (only way to update that BIOS sadly), and cloned back after that to get Ubuntu back. The SD card reader still won't work (well it does when I connect an Ethernet cable). So, any other ideas? | 19:13 |

| DJones | Rounin: I've never used LVM, but does this help http://askubuntu.com/questions/250293/manually-installing-ubuntu-12-10-with-lvm Another suggestion might be to use the minimal install iso | 20:25 |
| tgm4883 | bogor, fstab is the wrong place for it I believe, as that will try to mount it at boot even when it's not attached | 20:25 |

| Rounin | Manually installing doesn't seem like it'll work, DJones, since the installer hangs when I try to start it now, complaining that it can't open the encrypted device | 20:26 |
| tgm4883 | systemclient, what kind of script | 20:26 |

| vifanq | Aptitude suggests ~100 installs. How to find ROOT CAUSE, i.e. the one or 2 packages that are pulling the 100 others - instead of installing the 100 others?? | 20:27 |
| tgm4883 | systemclient, have you tried the python module platform? | 20:27 |
| tgm4883 | systemclient, http://docs.python.org/2/library/platform.html | 20:27 |
| tgm4883 | systemclient, that is what I've used in the past I believe | 20:27 |

| OerHeks | !aptitude | vifanq | 20:28 |
| ubottu | vifanq: aptitude is another terminal-based front-end to APT. You may encounter problems on multiarch installs (11.10 and higher) as aptitude cannot currently handle the same package with different architectures being installed at the same time. See http://pad.lv/831768 for more information. | 20:28 |
| OerHeks | vifanq, use apt-get | 20:29 |
| tgm4883 | vifanq, you were removing desktop stuff? | 20:29 |
| vifanq | OerHeks: I was removing gnome. So some packages might be left | 20:29 |
| vifanq | yes | 20:29 |
| === mikestewart is now known as mikestewart|food | ||
| tgm4883 | vifanq, well removing a package isn't going to install a new package, so you might want to at least tell us what you are actually doing to get to that point | 20:30 |
| doubleX | hello ppl :D | 20:30 |
| vifanq | I think aptitude wants the "suggests" dependencies to be resolved. Some left gnome package suggests something, but how to find which one | 20:30 |
| tgm4883 | vifanq, don't use aptitude? | 20:30 |
| Rounin | Hm... It just doesn't seem to work | 20:31 |
| vifanq | tgm4883: when I start aptitude, it shows the red bar with "Suggesting 100 instals", or "suggesting 100 keeps" | 20:31 |
| Rounin | Perhaps another reboot | 20:31 |
| MonkeyDust | vifanq consider using apt-get | 20:31 |
| tgm4883 | vifanq, ah, well in that case I would suggest not using aptitude | 20:31 |
| vifanq | when I browse the suggested packages, they all have dependencies about being suggested by some package | 20:31 |
| david_hm | excuse my utterly ignorance, but how can I join the hardware channel? | 20:31 |

| hidn_shadows | Can I use the 10.04 boot disc to run fsck on my 12.04 filesystem? are they compatible? | 20:32 |
| wilee-nilee | vifanq, You leave out a lot of details, is this gnome 2 like in 10.04 or the gnome 3 underlayment of unity, or the gnome-shell. | 20:32 |
| OerHeks | vifanq, your complaint is it does not work oke. | 20:32 |
| systemclient | hidn_shadows: I assume they are just EXT4, which should work just fine | 20:32 |

| mustafa | Hello, I have Ubuntu installed and I am trying to install Windows 8 alongside Ubuntu on a seperate partition for college reasons, when I try to install Windows 8 I get an error that it can't install on gpt disks. Any ideas? | 20:33 |
| vifanq | gosh.. Can apt-get tell me which package have the "recommends" dependencies unsatisfied? | 20:33 |
| wilee-nilee | vifanq, Here is a website with complete desktop file lists in playing around, be sure you are reading the correct release. http://www.psychocats.net/ubuntu/ | 20:34 |
| Korekame | vifanq, i think you need to use apt-cache show packagename | 20:34 |
| systemclient | mustafa: your partitions are created using the GUID Partition Scheme (gpt), not Master Boot Record (MBR) | 20:34 |
| systemclient | mustafa: so Windows only supports MBR (the old stuff) apparently, so you would need to reformat the whole disk and change it to MBR | 20:35 |
| tgm4883 | vifanq, you probably want to check out rdepends | 20:35 |
| mustafa | systemclient: How can I create my partitions using MBR? I created the partition from the Ubuntu installation. | 20:35 |
| systemclient | mustafa: I'd just use VirtualBox if you do not have graphics intense applications and create a virutal machine for Windows | 20:35 |
| pagz | can someone please help me fix my /home premissions attempting to wget or touch a file results in error Permission denied | 20:36 |

| ubottu | vifanq: apt-rdepends (source: apt-rdepends): Recursively lists package dependencies. In component universe, is optional. Version 1.3.0-2 (quantal), package size 13 kB, installed size 80 kB | 20:36 |
| ejv | pagz: man chown | 20:36 |
| systemclient | pagz: do `ls -l /home` and see to whom your which folder belongs | 20:36 |
| mustafa | OK, I have 100GB partition, can I use a tool to delete this partition and resize the home partition without deleting it's contents? | 20:36 |
| mustafa | systemclient: Sorry, forgot to tag you :-/ | 20:36 |
| mustafa | systemclient: I mean add the 100GB partition I was saving for windows to linux | 20:37 |
| vifanq | tgm4883: thanks | 20:37 |
| systemclient | mustafa: nope. You need to wipe the whole disk if you plan on changing the partition scheme. You can `rsync -avhE` and rsync them back later on ... this is advanced though | 20:37 |
| Korekame | windows supports gpt on windows vista an newer, as well as windows XP 64-bit | 20:37 |
| systemclient | Korekame: okay, this does not make sense then, ... | 20:37 |
| ossix | hi guys | 20:38 |
| Korekame | however, I've found that windows doesn't format it's GPT correctly | 20:38 |
| Korekame | so make the partitions with linux | 20:38 |

| pepeppepe | Hello. I'm connecting through putty through SSH to my ubuntu server, and I run a command with &. When I close the session, the program CLOSES!!! How do I avoid this? | 20:47 |
| goosechaser | I finally learn that in order to run an irc server, you need to edit permissions and chown the log files with lowered permissions | 20:47 |
| fidel | pepeppepe: you could use 'screen | 20:47 |
| DJones | !screen | pepeppepe | 20:47 |
| ubottu | pepeppepe: screen is a window manager for terminal sessions, also useful over SSH. The 'byobu' package provides very useful additional utilities. See https://help.ubuntu.com/community/Screen | 20:47 |

| tgm4883 | goosechaser, that doesn't sound right, but you haven't really said what you are doing | 20:47 |

| === mike is now known as Guest70907 | ||
| tgm4883 | goosechaser, well again, you haven't really said what the issue is, other than you had to add permissions in order to run it | 20:49 |

| === mike_ is now known as Guest50071 | ||
| johnjohn101 | active desktop. LOL. | 20:51 |
| tgm4883 | goosechaser, fair enough, but we can't really answer your question about 644 since we don't know what you are doing (or did). I can tell you that A) default permissions (644 and whatever user it was set to) was most likely fine, and B) that it was probably set to that for a reason | 20:52 |
| goosechaser | well I installed an ircd and the default install locations for log files and config can only be written by root since it's owned by root | 20:53 |
| tgm4883 | goosechaser, now it could be an improperly packaged program, but honestly it sounds like you don't understand permissions/services (based on similar questions from other users) | 20:53 |
| goosechaser | but when I ran the program as root, it gave me a warning not to. hence the chown and mod ing of the log files | 20:53 |
| tgm4883 | goosechaser, ah, well then yea, that does sound like a badly packaged program | 20:54 |

| mbeierl | Quest, it will recreate the partition table on the larger disk, with the same size partitions as it read from the smaller disk | 20:56 |
| mbeierl | Quest, so you will have unused space at the end of the disk, which you can then later turn into another partition or grow one of the existing partitions into it | 20:57 |
| wilee-nilee | subcool, I would shut down reboot with it unplugged and then plug it in and unmount from gparted then try. | 20:57 |
| mbeierl | as for the bs (block size), not it is not compulsory | 20:57 |
| wilee-nilee | subcool, Or open fstab a # the mount and reboot. | 20:58 |

| ChogyDan | might give you more feedback | 21:03 |
| lynxy | and I thought someone is using copperhead mouse | 21:03 |
| lynxy | and know some tricks :) | 21:03 |
| MonkeyDust | rexwin_ ubuntu jeos points to ubuntu server, ask in #ubuntu-server | 21:03 |

| dr_willis | lynxy: theres some razer mouse service/settings tool out there for ljnux | 21:04 |
| wilee-nilee | subcool, The goal here that you don't get the fstab mount. So either shut down unplug it and power on and plug it in or comment the mount off in fstab and reboot then unmount from gparted. | 21:04 |

| leontopod | I want root | 21:26 |
| leontopod | I don't want to sudo | 21:27 |
| leontopod | how do I reactivate the root account? | 21:27 |
| OerHeks | leontopod, root account is disabled, we don't support enabling it. | 21:27 |
| OerHeks | !root | 21:27 |
| ubottu | 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 | 21:27 |
| OerHeks | if you want a whole terminal session to be root, use ' sudo -i ' | 21:28 |
| leontopod | so sudo passwd | 21:28 |
| tgm4883 | !noroot | 21:28 |
| ubottu | We do not support setting a root password. You're free to do it on your own machine, but please don't offer instructions on how to set a root password or ask for help with setting it. See !root and !wfm for more information. | 21:28 |
| leontopod | sudo passwd root | 21:28 |
| leontopod | !root | 21:28 |
| ubottu | 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 | 21:28 |
| leontopod | !wfm | 21:28 |
| ubottu | 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/ | 21:28 |
| wilee-nilee | leontopod, running root in ubuntu is not a good idea it will eventually mess up the system, itis not designed to be run that way, use a distro that does. | 21:29 |
| leontopod | how will it mess up the system? | 21:29 |
| leontopod | I am in control of the root shell session | 21:29 |
| leontopod | if I don't do anything to mess anything up, nothing will get messed up | 21:30 |
| wilee-nilee | leontopod, Ubuntu is not designed that way that is just the way it is and OFF TOPIC. | 21:30 |
| dtigue | people can gain access to your system easier | 21:30 |
| leontopod | Unix with root | 21:30 |
| leontopod | Unix without root? | 21:30 |
| leontopod | Ubuntu is not designed like Unix? | 21:30 |
| tgm4883 | leontopod, I think the point is that if you have to ask how to activate it, you don't know enough to not screw it up | 21:30 |
| wilee-nilee | leontopod, unix is not ubuntu your reasoning is flawed | 21:30 |
| leontopod | ah, good point | 21:30 |
| leontopod | Ubuntu is Linux, right? | 21:31 |
| tgm4883 | leontopod, either way, it's OT and not supported | 21:31 |
| tgm4883 | leontopod, pointless. Next you will tell us that OSX and Linux are practically the same | 21:31 |
| wilee-nilee | lol | 21:31 |
| tgm4883 | wilee-nilee, I've heard far too many people say that | 21:32 |
| leontopod | well both Linux and OS X are POSIX compliant I think | 21:33 |
| leontopod | so in that way yes they are similar | 21:33 |
| dtigue | still OT, OS X I believe is BSD based | 21:33 |

| tgm4883 | !sha256sum | 21:35 |
| tgm4883 | hmm | 21:35 |
| wilee-nilee | mouseofthesteppe, Not sure I run a md5 if needed, the web probably has answers | 21:35 |
| tgm4883 | well it's 'sha256sum -c <FILE>' | 21:35 |
| tgm4883 | !tab | mouseofthesteppe | 21:35 |
| ubottu | mouseofthesteppe: You can use your <tab> key for autocompletion of nicknames in IRC, as well as for completion of filenames and programs on the command line. | 21:35 |

| subcool | wilee-nilee, i dont think that did it- its still taking forever. | 21:37 |
| dtigue | madprops, its for showing amazon related searches in your dash i believe | 21:37 |
| jrib | !info unity-lens-shopping | 21:37 |
| ubottu | unity-lens-shopping (source: unity-lens-shopping): Shopping lens for unity. In component main, is optional. Version 6.8.0-0ubuntu1 (quantal), package size 31 kB, installed size 132 kB | 21:37 |
| jrib | well that's a useful description | 21:38 |
| tgm4883 | lol | 21:38 |
| miketomdool | lol | 21:38 |
| she_dyed | who writes these things | 21:38 |
| tgm4883 | she_dyed, the package maintainer | 21:38 |
| wilee-nilee | subcool, resizing takes a long time in general. | 21:38 |
| dtigue | madprops, its for showing amazon results in your dash, if any are relevant to your search | 21:39 |
| puppyearz | hello | 21:39 |
| subcool | wilee-nilee, i've never had it take so long - im just shrinking it. : - ill wait.. | 21:39 |
| tgm4883 | she_dyed, it just shows the package short description, so there isn't a ton of space for a description | 21:39 |
| she_dyed | gotcha like the guy probably SMSed in his description | 21:40 |
| wilee-nilee | subcool, It depends on how much data is there and the size of the data moved really, runs fast on my SSD HD comparebly. | 21:40 |
| tgm4883 | she_dyed, yea, that is kinda short, but the "short description" has to be a single line, and then there is the extended description | 21:41 |
| puppyearz | question: i have a raid 1 set up with ubuntu server 12.04 in a idb eserver xseries that im installing for a customer...is there a script i can write to send me an email/message if one of the drives in the array fails? | 21:41 |
| tgm4883 | she_dyed, the extended description for that package is kinda short too "This package contains the "shopping" lens which can be used into Unity to shop online." | 21:41 |
| she_dyed | the one by dtigue was more helpful | 21:42 |
| dtigue | Yay! I am finally helpful! | 21:43 |
| leptone | how do i use the gpg client. just type "gpg" in terminal? | 21:43 |
| tgm4883 | she_dyed, I don't see a limit on short description, but it's single line only, and likely has to be less than 80 characters including the "Description: " part of the control field | 21:43 |
| she_dyed | uh huh | 21:43 |
| she_dyed | reminds me of entering mp3 tags on CLI | 21:43 |
| dtigue | leptone, try 'man gpg' it will give you a good bit of info on gpg | 21:44 |
| tgm4883 | she_dyed, and while dtigue's description is currently accurate, the lens allows results from any shopping scope to be displayed. It just so happens that the amazon lens is the only one available right now | 21:44 |
| dtigue | tgm4883, yes, eventually there will be tons of online shopping sites built in to the shopping lens | 21:45 |
| tgm4883 | dtigue, true, but it won't be in unity-lens-shopping. That package is going away in 13.10 | 21:45 |
| dtigue | yea, will it all be part of the smart scopes thing ? | 21:45 |
| tgm4883 | dtigue, yep | 21:45 |
| tgm4883 | dtigue, which is one of the reasons I don't tell people to remove the package and to use the privacy options in the control panel instead | 21:46 |
| she_dyed | no wait are there ads on ubuntu's desktop now | 21:46 |
| dtigue | tgm4883, nice, I think I'm gonna install the PPA so I can start testing it out on my test machine | 21:47 |
| tgm4883 | she_dyed, in 12.10 and 13.04 there are amazon results in the dash | 21:47 |
| dtigue | she_dyed, no add | 21:47 |
| tgm4883 | I don't recall if that was on 12.04 or not | 21:47 |
| starbuck | hi, does somebody know how to set up and configure libapache2-mod-wsgi-py3 | 21:47 |
| dtigue | tgm4883, i think the amazon results first showed up in 12.10 | 21:47 |
| she_dyed | hey if we can customize them soon at least it'll be my preferred stores | 21:47 |
| tgm4883 | she_dyed, I'd bet it's only going to be On/Off, not customized stores | 21:48 |
| she_dyed | aw | 21:48 |
| tgm4883 | although that would be a sweet ubuntu one tie in | 21:48 |
| she_dyed | you might have something there yes | 21:48 |
| plut0 | how do i tell which repository a package was installed from? | 21:48 |
| dtigue | she_dyed, yea through the filter on the dash you should be able to add or remove certain sites that are built in | 21:48 |
| jrtappers | Is there an option to disable the need for passwords when using any sudo command, I am not getting prompted, and would prefer to be | 21:49 |
| plut0 | jrtappers: yes its in /etc/sudoers | 21:49 |
| dtigue | jrtappers, in the sudoers file you can change it | 21:49 |
| she_dyed | nice | 21:49 |

| Schuenemann | wilee-nilee, excuse me? | 21:51 |

| jrtappers | leptone, users shoudl get toy there | 21:51 |
| leptone | yes service | 21:51 |
| jrib | leptone: how are you trying to add a new one and how did you take the password off before? | 21:51 |

| jrtappers | dtigue, Im the only user, can I see what / when it was changed, 3 times seems suspicious | 21:52 |
| dtigue | jrtappers, or an application with root access i suppose, but i don't know of one that would do it and i don't think you can see what or who last modified the file | 21:52 |
| miketomdool | puppyearz, I would take a look at smartd: http://blog.shadypixel.com/monitoring-hard-drive-health-on-linux-with-smartmontools/ | 21:52 |

| jasper539 | Hi, I need help understanding why yesterday's updates broke my audio. | 21:57 |
| dtigue | jrtappers, the sudoers file is only modifiable by a user with sudo/root access and by programs with root access, the only programs i can think of that should have that kind of access is daemons and such, and those wouldn't change you sudoers file as far as i know, at least i've never had one make changes to mine | 21:57 |
| tgm4883 | jasper539, well, what did you update yesterday | 21:57 |
| jasper539 | dtigue, I generally apply as they come in. There was a kernel update the other day, among other things. Now syslog is full of these: [pulseaudio] alsa-util.c: Disabling timer-based scheduling because high-resolution timers are not available from the kernel. | 21:58 |
| jrtappers | dtigue, That was my understanding, but evidently something changed it behind my back | 21:58 |

| Jester | Hi. I'm trying to obtain the sources for my currently running kernel. I got the package linux-source-3.5.0 and I've also tried getting the sources with "apt-get source linux-image-$(uname -r)". When I configure the kernel, it tells me the kernel is version 3.5.7 although the sources are supposed to be for 3.5.0 (with ubuntu patches). Also, modules get installed to /lib/modules/3.5.7-... and not /lib/modules/3.5.0-... like ... | 22:35 |

| mouseofthesteppe | In windows I would right click and properties | 23:09 |
| mouseofthesteppe | whats the .desktop file? | 23:10 |
| dr_willis | mouseofthesteppe: or use one of the menu editor programs out there to check its properties | 23:10 |
| dr_willis | mouseofthesteppe: each app has a .desktop file.. ie: gedit.desktop | 23:10 |
| dr_willis | that defines its menu settings | 23:10 |
| she_dyed | and they have exec= in there right? | 23:10 |
| dr_willis | and many other settings. | 23:11 |
| mouseofthesteppe | But I'd have to know where the file is to know that no? | 23:11 |
| dr_willis | mouseofthesteppe: so use the locate command to locate it.. | 23:11 |
| stupidBYdefault | dr_willis, what ubout removing previus kernels... (i see them in grub ) ? | 23:11 |

| Bauer1 | OerHeks: the missing files are called like Installer tome 2.MPQE, sc2.ico, autorun.inf | 23:27 |
| jessewallace | it does but im trying to write it to a 16 gb flash drive so i can use startup disk to switch from ubuntu to osx | 23:27 |
| Bauer1 | OerHeks: they just dont show in linux when I mount | 23:27 |
| dr_willis | jessewallace: you want to write the iso to a usb flash as an 'image' normally with a command like dd. or other tools | 23:28 |
| dr_willis | jessewallace: thats not the same as a .img file | 23:28 |
| subcool | wilee-nilee, when i plug it in when the computers running, it doesnt recognize. | 23:28 |
