| she_dyed | waterfoul_: maybe we need to figure out why you have to disable lightdm | 00:00 |
|---|---|---|
| she_dyed | waterfoul_: when maybe all you need is autologin | 00:00 |
| waterfoul_ | she_dyed I disabled lightdm because I don't need it and it just slows the boot process | 00:01 |
| waterfoul_ | I don't want any display or window manager | 00:01 |
| she_dyed | yes and it broke something | 00:01 |
| she_dyed | you need a different approach | 00:01 |
| she_dyed | so it goes into xbmc immediately | 00:01 |
| waterfoul_ | this approach works in every other linux distro I have used | 00:01 |

| ketsemoaaa | Hey Guys. I have ubuntu server with lamp etc and i want to connect it with a domain that i have on goddady . How can i set up Domain Name Servers? | 00:02 |
| she_dyed | waterfoul_: any way to see if sound is active somehow | 00:02 |
| === smithkm_ is now known as smithkm | ||
| waterfoul_ | The only way I know of it so try it in xbmc | 00:02 |
| she_dyed | like launching some terminal mp3 player (not xbmc) | 00:03 |
| waterfoul_ | sure 1 sec | 00:03 |
| waterfoul_ | lemme get a terminal on the display | 00:03 |
| she_dyed | ok | 00:03 |
| she_dyed | you got the idea | 00:03 |
| avid_fan | Pinkamena_D: Well double-check that you're using the correct UPN. Where I work I found out that even though we can use DNS with a traditional domain name, company.com, the domain was setup with company.local. Stoopid to do I know, but I had no part in that. | 00:03 |
| Pinkamena_D | ok well I do not understand it at all | 00:04 |
| she_dyed | avid_fan: thats ok man you're among friends =) | 00:04 |
| shig | which software can I use in Ubuntu to record videos from a capture card? | 00:04 |
| Pinkamena_D | but for some reason it says the print share is not accessable just typing domain/user in the box | 00:04 |
| Pinkamena_D | however, if I just put it through like that its fine | 00:04 |
| Pinkamena_D | O_o | 00:04 |
| avid_fan | she_dyed: Well, it's been a hard lesson learned for the folks that did set it up because using .local screws many other things up. | 00:04 |
| she_dyed | ouch | 00:05 |
| avid_fan | Pinkamena_D: Is printing direct to the printer not an option? | 00:06 |
| Pinkamena_D | no, and now it stopped working afgain | 00:08 |

| waterfoul_ | she_dyed know of any test sounds I can use? | 00:11 |
| Georgi | can you type only the command | 00:11 |
| she_dyed | any mp3 you have there? | 00:11 |

| Georgi | I did | 00:13 |
| Georgi | it opens a windows with text | 00:13 |
| she_dyed | start reading | 00:13 |
| Georgi | I started it with --no-desktop still I see black screen | 00:14 |
| avid_fan | Pinkamena_D: I cannot be 100% certain because I'm doing it remotely, but I added a Windows printer to my linux machine at work. I used my UPN, even when prompted to enter username, domain, and password, I left domain blank and just my johndough@company.local. | 00:14 |
| cotton | why would i get tons of ksoftirqd/watchdog/migration/kworker threads stacking? this is on an apache server, box does nothing else. | 00:15 |
| waterfoul_ | she_dyed: I would one. mplayer gives /dev/dsp no such file or directory | 00:15 |
| waterfoul_ | s/would/found/ | 00:15 |
| avid_fan | Pinkamena_D: So if you have access to Active Directory Users & Computers you should be able to double-check that you're using the proper UPN. | 00:15 |
| jnc | cotton: apache uses worker threads, makes sense. | 00:15 |
| she_dyed | waterfoul_: no just audio, like aplay something.mp3 | 00:15 |
| cotton | ah ok jnc thanks makes sense | 00:16 |
| waterfoul_ | i did a wav file. I'll do aplay anyway | 00:16 |
| Georgi | she_dyed so if it is not nautilus can you tell me what it is | 00:16 |
| she_dyed | mplayer will try everything it has for video as well | 00:16 |
| jnc | cotton: are these serving i.e. PHP scripted pages? | 00:16 |
| she_dyed | who said it isnt georgi | 00:16 |
| Georgi | well it didn't fix a thing | 00:16 |
| she_dyed | man nautilus | 00:16 |
| Georgi | yeah | 00:16 |
| Georgi | wrote it | 00:16 |
| Georgi | then the --no-desktop part | 00:17 |
| she_dyed | thats the manual | 00:17 |
| Georgi | and still no wallpaper | 00:17 |
| cotton | jnc: yea | 00:17 |
| cotton | php | 00:17 |
| jnc | cotton: ok so each access is a new invocation of PHP | 00:17 |
| shig | which software can I use on Ubuntu to record videos from a capture card? | 00:17 |
| waterfoul_ | aplay gives no audio and no error alsamixer gives cannot open mixer: No such file or directory | 00:17 |
| jnc | cotton: the worker thread is responsible for that thing which returns data to be served | 00:18 |
| waterfoul_ | shig: i've used mythtv successfully in the past but it can be a pain to setup | 00:18 |
| * cotton jnc: but on my other (100x busier) box, i only have say, 17 of migration/ksoftirqd/watchdog and 38 kworkers | 00:19 | |
| Malgorath | I have 3 video cards, Radeon HD 6870, Nvidia 560ti and a Nvidia 260 GTX. Which would be the better card for a linux box? I'm not going to do much gaming or video stuff on it as I have a Mac for that stuff. | 00:19 |
| cotton | on the box in question, 40 of those, and 80+ kworkers | 00:19 |
| jnc | cotton: I forget how, but there are some tweaks you can make to the Linux scheduler to make it less or more aggressive with uh... for want of a better word, "Cleanup" | 00:19 |
| cotton | with just a few clients | 00:19 |
| cotton | ah ok | 00:19 |
| cotton | just wondering why the extreme difference | 00:20 |
| cotton | apache is installed similarly on both boxes | 00:20 |
| shig | waterfoul_, yes it is a pain to setup, tried here... I can get video, but no audio :( | 00:20 |
| cotton | jnc: i didn't think it was the apache MPM i could be wrong..? does just that version use kworker threads | 00:20 |
| === mutante is now known as mutante-away | ||
| waterfoul_ | shig what is your card? | 00:20 |
| jnc | cotton: would have to read more docs to be sure, but that sounds like a good guess to me :) | 00:21 |
| wisey | what is the latest version of ubuntu that will install to my PowerBook G4? | 00:22 |
| wisey | it is PPC | 00:22 |
| jnc | if the scheduler is doing its job correctly, then additional kworker threads aren't really competing for resources | 00:22 |
| waterfoul_ | wisey it looks like the latest will install but you milage may vary, look here: https://wiki.ubuntu.com/PowerPCDownloads | 00:23 |
| jnc | wisey: maybe, PPC is like m68k... better left in a museum? | 00:23 |

| ketsemoaaa | Hey Guys. I have ubuntu server with lamp etc and i want to connect it with a domain that i have on goddady . How can i set up Domain Name Servers? | 00:25 |
| avid_fan | ketsemoaaa: https://help.ubuntu.com/community/BIND9ServerHowto , on how to setup a DNS server with Ubuntu. | 00:26 |
| Tomcat | Evening everyone. I've an Inspiron 7720. Xubuntu 12.10 see's it's touchpad as a mouse. I've not found a settings file nor anything through google. | 00:26 |
| Tomcat | It's been like this with Arch, Slackware, Debian, as well as Ubuntu | 00:26 |
| avid_fan | ketsemoaaa: Then you'll have to contact your domain registrar, I guess GoDaddy, to let them know the address(es) of the server(s) you setup. | 00:27 |
| waterfoul_ | shig, my google fu isn't turning up any useful guides sadly... I think you are having a driver problem which means that no matter what softwhere you use you will have an audio problem | 00:27 |
| jnc | ketsemoaaa: you can set up your own DNS server but bet aware that it's only good if someone else trusts enough to request from your server ... simpler to use another DNS service that lists your address, unless you are going to need more advanced DNS features | 00:27 |
| fatal_ink | hey | 00:27 |
| fatal_ink | hello? | 00:28 |
| jnc | ja | 00:28 |

| jnc | ketsemoaaa: Typically, when you register a domain name (say with GoDaddy which I recommend against), they provide a DNS service and you edit the simplified domain name records via web interface | 00:34 |
| R00TD00R | Hi | 00:34 |
| jnc | ketsemoaaa: alternately, you can have your domain name registrar use an alternative domain name server, and that I would point to one of the free DNS services (like freedns.afraid.org but not that one because I recommend against it) | 00:35 |
| jnc | I don't have a specific suggestion since I'm not being paid for one :) | 00:35 |
| waterfoul_ | What does ubuntu use as it's sound daemon? | 00:35 |
| jnc | waterfoul_: PulseAudio, I think | 00:36 |
| ketsemoaaa | jnc: But i will write in the web interface of Godaddy? | 00:37 |
| jnc | ketsemoaaa: yeah that's more of a GoDaddy support issue ; you're looking for a primer on the basics of how DNS records work, like "what is a DNS 'A record'? " | 00:38 |
| jnc | "A record" is 32-bit IPv4 ; "AAAA record" is 128-bit IPv6 ; "MX" record is mail exchange; "CNAME" record is an alternate name ... and so on look for that kind of information to read up about | 00:39 |
| jnc | those are the kind of informations you'll need to learn about and then enter into the registrar's web control panel | 00:39 |
| waterfoul_ | hmmm it looks like alsa is not working..... | 00:39 |
| avid_fan | ketsemoaaa: wikipedia might be of some assistance building your knowledge of DNS, http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Domain_Name_System | 00:40 |
| relipse | why does "rm -r foobar" prompt me like 300 times if i truly want to delete write-protected regular file(s) ? | 00:40 |
| avid_fan | ketsemoaaa: It's really not all that complicated, especially if you're managing a single domain. | 00:40 |
| p-2 | hello | 00:41 |
| ketsemoaaa | jnc: avid_fan: i guess that i need two static ip's | 00:41 |

| === irick_ is now known as irick | ||
| avid_fan | ketsemoaaa: if you're talking about running your own DNS servers, yeah that's a start. I'd definitely recommend running at least 2, for redundancy. | 00:41 |
| p-2 | which is a more respected language, c++, java or perl? | 00:41 |
| jnc | p-2: perl, of course | 00:43 |
| nevyn | p-2: in what field? for what purpose? | 00:43 |
| ketsemoaaa | avid_fan: i simple want to connect my domain with my cloud server that i set up | 00:43 |
| nevyn | p-2: languages don't matter. | 00:43 |
| p-2 | for web app dev | 00:43 |
| p-2 | nevyn: why not? | 00:43 |

| waterfoul_ | so apparently alsa isn't working ("alsamixer" doesn't load) could someone help me figure out why? alsainfo -> http://www.alsa-project.org/db/?f=e097278c2c0c5bdd5bc71dff6387297add78cb25 | 00:43 |
| * jnc :) | 00:43 | |
| nevyn | p-2: you can learn one in a weekend | 00:43 |
| p-2 | what do you recommend? | 00:44 |
| nevyn | again it depends.. | 00:44 |
| jnc | waterfoul_: alsamixer sometimes defaults to the pulseaudio mixer | 00:44 |
| p-2 | for web app | 00:44 |
| avid_fan | ketsemoaaa: And if you want it accessible via a name, then you're on the right track of setting up DNS. Now you just need to decide whether you want GoDaddy to host your DNS, or someone else, or you do it on your own. | 00:44 |
| jnc | waterfoul_: try "alsamixer -c0" or "alsamixer -c1" | 00:44 |
| nevyn | p-2: webdev is now all about the node.js and similar ajax foo | 00:45 |
| waterfoul_ | invalid card index: 0 | 00:45 |
| avid_fan | ketsemoaaa: In my business life we have our registrar, Network Solutions, host our DNS. They provide a web-interface to control all the records we need, which are very few. | 00:45 |
| waterfoul_ | invalid card index: 01 | 00:45 |
| jnc | neat | 00:45 |
| jnc | it really is broken | 00:45 |

| marshalcure | hello everyone.... | 01:44 |
| marshalcure | i could use some help with conky if anyone has experience with it | 01:45 |
| william | hola | 01:45 |
| william | :) | 01:45 |
| william | Hi | 01:45 |
| === william is now known as Guest59537 | ||
| dr_willis | conky has 1000's of guides and docs and examples marshalcure ... and a decent faq.. your issue is? | 01:45 |
| bazhang | marshalcure, have you read the conky beginners guide? | 01:46 |
| marshalcure | well i installed conky and could not figure it out. so i removed it but there are still conky files in etc and i dont have permission to remove them. i have tried to --purge but the files remain. | 01:47 |
| === Flynn_ is now known as bitencourt | ||
| dr_willis | marshalcure: so this really has nothing to do with conky. but more of an apt question. ;) | 01:48 |
| marshalcure | umm yeah sure ;0 | 01:48 |
| marshalcure | should have said i just converted to linux | 01:48 |
| avid_fan | marshalcure: And a 'sudo rm -f <offending files>' does? | 01:48 |
| dr_willis | apt-get purge packagename should have removed them all. as far as i know | 01:48 |
| dr_willis | marshalcure: its not worth worrying about really.. | 01:48 |
| steven- | ok the usb drive is listed as an device, ls /dev/| grep sdb shows the device + sdb1 a partition | 01:48 |
| steven- | dd if=/dev/null of=/dev/sdb -> dd: opening ‘/dev/sdb’: No such device or address | 01:49 |
| steven- | there must be a way to fix the stupid usb drive .. | 01:49 |
| marshalcure | purge did not remove them..and i guess i could leave them. i | 01:49 |
| avid_fan | marshalcure: Ah, a recent convert. You need elevated privileges. Check out 'sudo'. | 01:49 |
| marshalcure | ok will do i'll google it 'sudo' | 01:50 |
| dr_willis | if you edit the config files by hand. purge may still leave them - since they are customuzed.. ive never really noticed it . or worried about it | 01:50 |
| dr_willis | You could just reinstall conky and try to learn to use it. ;) its a nifty tool. but can be a bit overwhelming | 01:51 |
| steven- | so I guess no one has an idea how my issue could be solved? | 01:51 |
| bazhang | steven-, sounds like a hardware issue | 01:51 |
| avid_fan | marshalcure: dr_willis has a point in that the config files in /etc take up almost no space, but if you really want to get rid of them you'll need highe privileges, i.e. 'sudo'. | 01:51 |
| steven- | bazhang: the thing is, it worked perfectely like 1h ago | 01:51 |
| steven- | I used gparted to format it, and ever since I did that its acting up | 01:52 |
| steven- | so I was hoping its just a currputed fs | 01:52 |
| dr_willis | steven-: that tends to be how hard drives die.. they worked.. then they died.. its possible it could be a cable/controller issue also. | 01:52 |
| avid_fan | steven-: Can you make a new partition table and start over? | 01:52 |
| marshalcure | well i ran"sudo apt-get --purge remove conky " files still remain | 01:53 |
| steven- | I can't do anything, the stick blinks, it appears as /dev/sdb and thats about it | 01:53 |
| steven- | no application is able to read, write or even touch it | 01:53 |
| tgm4883 | marshalcure, what files? | 01:53 |
| wilee-nilee | marshalcure, remove the .conky from home | 01:53 |
| marshalcure | and i tried to reinstall but conky wont start and im pretty sure its these files blocking | 01:53 |
| dr_willis | marshalcure: whjat files exactly are you talking about? it shouldent stopy conky from getting reinstalled | 01:54 |
| steven- | dmesg prints out this stuff, http://paste.ubuntu.com/5700295/ | 01:54 |
| BladeMaster | How to schdeule pthreads in c using fcfs, rr??? | 01:54 |
| avid_fan | steven-: 'parted /dev/sdb' then 'mklabel msdos'? | 01:54 |
| steven- | just scroll down to the bottom :D | 01:54 |
| steven- | Error: Error opening /dev/sdb: No such device or address | 01:54 |
| marshalcure | it reinstalls but wont start | 01:54 |
| marshalcure | i dan copy in past the error if it is allowed here | 01:55 |
| jnc | compi: read http://www.electronicsfaq.com/2010/02/getting-serial-port-to-work-under.html | 01:55 |

| jnc | compi: maybe this will work for you? force the UART type as described | 01:55 |
| dr_willis | marshalcure: and how are you trying to start conky? | 01:55 |
| marshalcure | open term and type conky | 01:56 |
| sean_ | k | 01:56 |
| marshalcure | is that not correct | 01:56 |
| marshalcure | ? | 01:56 |
| dr_willis | marshalcure: it works fine for me that way | 01:56 |
| compi | jnc, I followed all the steps in the link provided without the same results. I do not get the setserial -g /dev/ttyS* command to yield the same results as per the link. | 01:56 |
| steven- | deww: it was working before I used gparted, though | 01:56 |
| jnc | ah okay | 01:56 |
| steven- | so I guess gparted destroyed my stick? | 01:56 |
| dr_willis | marshalcure: you dont see any conky widgits on the desktpp eh? did you get any error messages? do you have a custome .conkyrc? | 01:57 |
| jnc | compi: I did find drivers... but no help to you ;/ | 01:57 |
| marshalcure | @ubottu i will have to read up on that | 01:57 |
| avid_fan | steven-: have to agree with deww, looks like a potential hardware problem with the drive. | 01:57 |
| dr_willis | marshalcure: ubottu is a bot.. and theres no need for the @ on irc | 01:57 |
| steven- | nice, at least I can say gparted destroyed my thumb drive | 01:57 |
| marshalcure | o sorry i must look like a noob idiot inhere | 01:57 |
| marshalcure | lol | 01:57 |
| tgm4883 | marshalcure, post the error message, or the path to the files that aren't being removed when you purge it | 01:57 |
| compi | jnc, I did this: sudo setserial /dev/ttyS4 uart 16550A but it still stays as "Xscale", and does not want to work.. | 01:57 |
| steven- | shit, its the only one I have right now | 01:58 |
| marshalcure | ok ill try the http://past.ubuntu.com | 01:58 |
| compi | jnc, could it be that I do not have enough serial ports specified somewhere? | 01:58 |
| jnc | compi: see query | 01:59 |
| avid_fan | marshalcure: don't feel bad about being a newbie. We all started somewhere. Just don't expect miracles. :-) | 01:59 |

| arkie_ | hey guys, my laptop has switchable graphics between intel and nvidia. Problem is with ubuntu I can't easily switch between them so battery preservation and more graphics power is hard to achieve when i want it. I found this fix here. | 02:02 |
| arkie_ | https://github.com/awilliam/asus-switcheroo | 02:03 |
| arkie_ | However, I'm not really sure in how to use/deploy it. | 02:03 |
| arkie_ | I'm a noob when it comes to Linux. I'm looking at the readme but I'm pretty confused. | 02:03 |
| arkie_ | No one? | 02:04 |
| steven- | what I dont get, why is it listed as a device in /dev/* and why does lsusb show the drive as well? | 02:05 |
| steven- | if it was dead, shouldn't it be not listed at all? | 02:05 |
| dr_willis | steven-: ive seen drives be in a semi-dead-damaged-wacked out state befor. | 02:07 |
| tgm4883 | arkie_, you likely want https://wiki.ubuntu.com/Bumblebee | 02:07 |
| dr_willis | steven-: seen them also come back to life for a while.. then die again later.. | 02:07 |
| dr_willis | steven-: it depends on what part of the hd died or is acting up | 02:07 |
| tgm4883 | arkie_, looking at this https://help.ubuntu.com/community/HybridGraphics#NVIDIA_Optimus it seems the vga switcheroo won't work for you | 02:07 |
| === tjbiddle_ is now known as tjbiddle | ||
| steven- | hm .. and I don't know, all I did was using gparted to format it, so all I know is that like an hour ago everything worked and the drive never acted up | 02:08 |
| steven- | so I am 99% sure that its not a HW issue | 02:08 |
| avid_fan | steven-: Then do you have another box with another OS to try and "fix" it? | 02:09 |
| wilee-nilee | !fsck | 02:09 |
| ubottu | fsck is the FileSystem ChecKer, which runs automatically when you boot if you didn't shutdown cleanly. Type "man fsck" for information on running it manually. The command "sudo touch /forcefsck && sudo shutdown -r now" will force a reboot and a filesystem check; "sudo touch /fastboot" will skip a filesystem check at next reboot | 02:09 |
| steven- | plugged it into my gfs windows box, same behaviour but less information :D | 02:09 |
| dr_willis | steven-: how big a hd is it? | 02:10 |
| steven- | its a thumb drive, only 8gb | 02:10 |
| dr_willis | steven-: they do have a finite life. its possible you might be able to use dd to clear it then repartion it.. but lets face it.. a 8gb flash is like $5 these days... | 02:11 |
| dr_willis | ive seen flash drives fail in all sorts of weird ways.. | 02:11 |
| CR-Bot | hello | 02:12 |
| steven- | dd doesn't work either, already tried that^^ | 02:12 |
| tgm4883 | steven-, so you can't format it in the windows box either? | 02:12 |
| dr_willis | steven-: its possible it Might 'start' working eventually.. but for a usb flash - i doubt it.. | 02:13 |
| steven- | no | 02:13 |
| steven- | yeah I guess I really have to head to walmart and get another one -.- | 02:13 |
| avid_fan | steven-: Sounds like it's "hammer time". | 02:13 |
| ezrafree | hello | 02:14 |
| CR-Bot | hello, steven | 02:14 |
| romero126 | hrmm.. | 02:14 |
| ezrafree | i am seeing "debian" and some graphics on my ubuntu 12.04 during bootscreen, is there any way to disable this? | 02:14 |
| steven- | hello CR-Bot | 02:14 |
| * avid_fan | 02:14 | |
| steven- | :D | 02:14 |
| texla | steven Iused "dd if=/dev/zero of=/dev/sbdx bs=512 count=1 then reformat | 02:15 |
| bazhang | !give me a test CR-Bot | 02:15 |
| tgm4883 | ezrafree, debian? what did you do? | 02:15 |
| ubottu | bazhang: I am only a bot, please don't think I'm intelligent :) | 02:15 |
| steven- | dd cant find the of | 02:15 |
| steven- | which is weird because its listed in dev/ | 02:15 |
| ezrafree | tgm4883: lmao, i dunno! i did an upgrade, that's about it really... | 02:15 |
| arkie | My laptop has switchable graphics between intel and nvidia. Problem is with ubuntu I can't easily switch between them so battery preservation and more graphics power is hard to achieve when i want it. I found this fix here. https://github.com/awilliam/asus-switcheroo | 02:15 |
| ezrafree | that is, i did "sudo apt-get upgrade" | 02:15 |
| tgm4883 | arkie, I'm taking it you didn't actually see anything that I told you | 02:16 |
| CR-Bot | Do you intelligent, ubottu ? | 02:16 |
| avid_fan | steven-: Might I suggest a reboot and then try dd, or fsck, or whatever once more? | 02:16 |
| ezrafree | i guess i should probably check google out on this | 02:16 |
| dr_willis | if dd fails. then the hardware is not getting detected properly. | 02:16 |
| avid_fan | steven-: I'm skeptical it will actually help, but stranger things have happened. | 02:17 |
| CR-Bot | Nice to met you, steven. | 02:17 |
| dr_willis | which woud also explain why /dev/sdX is not seen | 02:17 |
| CR-Bot | :) | 02:17 |
| ezrafree | CR-Bot is aliiiieeeeve | 02:17 |
| steven- | dr_willis: but /dev/sdb is seen | 02:17 |
| ezrafree | who's all up in that eggdrop ;) | 02:17 |
| steven- | thats the whole confusion | 02:17 |
| arkie | tgm4883, just saw now. | 02:17 |
| arkie | So I don't have a hardware multiplexer? | 02:18 |
| tgm4883 | arkie, IDK, doesn't sound like it from that page | 02:18 |
| ezrafree | has anyone else ever experienced their grub theme in ubuntu being reset to a debian theme? | 02:18 |
| tgm4883 | arkie, but I don't have nvidia hybrid graphics, I have amd hybrid graphics | 02:18 |
| avid_fan | ezrafree: Nope. Sorry. | 02:18 |
| tgm4883 | ezrafree, I think you mean plymouth | 02:18 |
| wilee-nilee | ezrafree, Did you have or do you have another OS? | 02:18 |
| arkie | tgm4883, but the github readme basically says that the switcheroo works on his ul30vt | 02:18 |
| arkie | which is the same model as mine. | 02:19 |
| ezrafree | tgm4883: plymoth? | 02:19 |
| CR-Bot | What is mean aliiiieeeeve, ezrafree ? | 02:19 |
| ezrafree | tgm4883: what's plymouth? | 02:19 |
| tgm4883 | ezrafree, yea, that is the boot screen | 02:19 |
| dr_willis | steven-: you said eralier that dd dident see it i thought | 02:19 |
| ezrafree | tgm4883: hmm i am running grub, it even says so on the bootscreen | 02:19 |
| tgm4883 | arkie, well you could try it, IDK if it would hurt it | 02:19 |
| tgm4883 | !plymouth | ezrafree | 02:19 |
| ubottu | ezrafree: Plymouth manages the Ubuntu boot process (before the root filesystem is mounted) and also provides a graphical boot animation. To change your Plymouth theme use « sudo update-alternatives --config default.plymouth && sudo update-initramfs -u » | 02:19 |
| bazhang | CR-Bot, do you have an ubuntu support question | 02:20 |
| steven- | oh yeah ls /dev | grep sdb <- lists the device + the sdb1 partition | 02:20 |
| steven- | dd throws an error though | 02:20 |
| ezrafree | tgm4883: ah ok thanks | 02:20 |
| Xabster | when you connect to SSH from a windows, do you all swear to putty? i wouldn't mind a more graphical and luxurious interface | 02:21 |

| avid_fan | Xabster: I try to keep my meddling in Windo$e to a minimum. | 02:22 |
| tgm4883 | Why would I ever go into windows | 02:22 |
| bazhang | CR-Bot, thats not what this channel is about, so no. take the random chit chat somewhere else | 02:22 |
| Xabster | i understand, and i know i'm off topic | 02:22 |
| romero126 | So many crashes. | 02:22 |
| avid_fan | Xabster: so puTTY works fine for me. :-) | 02:22 |
| Xabster | just hoped for a recommended ssh client other than putty | 02:22 |
| CR-Bot | Ok, thanks. I'm sorry. | 02:22 |
| avid_fan | what's with the CR-Bot? | 02:23 |
| bazhang | Xabster, you could ask in ##windows for that | 02:23 |
| Xabster | yes i will, sorry | 02:23 |
| CR-Bot | Ok, thanks. I'm sorry, bazhang. | 02:23 |
| arkie | tgm4883, that switcheroo guide you linked is different from the asus-switcheroo on github | 02:23 |
| avid_fan | Xabster: no worries. :-P | 02:23 |
| arkie | the asus-switcheroo is specifically for my laptop model. | 02:24 |
| steven- | dr_willis: http://paste.ubuntu.com/5700361/ | 02:24 |
| tgm4883 | arkie, ok, so what is your question then? | 02:24 |
| arkie | look at the readme for the asus switcheroo | 02:24 |
| tgm4883 | arkie, i am | 02:24 |
| arkie | im not sure what to do, i only just installed ubuntu yesterday | 02:25 |
| steven- | dr_willis: dd: opening ‘/dev/sdb’: No such device or address | 02:25 |
| arkie | i dont know what commands to run in the terminal etc.. | 02:25 |
| tgm4883 | arkie, seriously? | 02:25 |
| arkie | yes tgm4883 | 02:25 |
| tgm4883 | did you clone the branch? | 02:25 |
| arkie | no | 02:26 |
| steven- | dr_willis: fdisk -l won't list the device | 02:26 |
| tgm4883 | arkie, 'git clone git://github.com/awilliam/asus-switcheroo.git' | 02:26 |
| steven- | lsblk shows it though | 02:26 |
| arkie | it says build the asus-switcheroo kernel modules | 02:26 |
| tgm4883 | arkie, you might have to install git | 02:26 |
| arkie | git is installed | 02:26 |
| steven- | blkid doesn't | 02:26 |
| arkie | did that yesterday | 02:26 |
| arkie | ok i ran that code tgm4883 | 02:27 |
| tgm4883 | arkie, so clone it, run make, then run "sudo make install-ubuntu" | 02:27 |
| arkie | make install-ubuntu? | 02:27 |
| tgm4883 | arkie, make | 02:28 |
| arkie | what target do i specify for 'make' tgm4883 ? | 02:28 |
| dr_willis | steven-: looks like its ready for replacement to me. bbl. | 02:29 |
| tgm4883 | arkie, IDK, I'm looking at the readme | 02:29 |
| tgm4883 | are you in the cloned directory? | 02:29 |
| avid_fan | steven-: So I'm assuming your thumb drive is 'Bus 001 Device 010: ID 8644:800b' ? I find it odd that it's not identified. | 02:29 |
| arkie | no | 02:29 |
| arkie | i have to cd or something then right? | 02:30 |
| tgm4883 | yes | 02:30 |
| tgm4883 | cd <directory> | 02:30 |

| arkie | is that the command tgm4883 ? | 02:34 |
| tgm4883 | arkie, yes | 02:34 |
| arkie | is that why make isn't working? | 02:35 |

| arkie | is that the correct command tgm4883 ? | 02:44 |
| tgm4883 | arkie, no, that still won't work | 02:44 |
| arkie | Yep, it isn't. | 02:44 |
| arkie | What am I doing wrong? | 02:45 |
| tgm4883 | arkie, although something like 'echo OFF | sudo tee <FILEPATH>' would probably work | 02:45 |
| arkie | what does the 'tee' do? | 02:45 |
| tgm4883 | tee - read from standard input and write to standard output and files | 02:45 |
| arkie_ | tgm4883: http://paste.ubuntu.com/5700396/ | 02:47 |
| tgm4883 | arkie_, I have a feeling that was just drivers for it and you still have to install vgaswitcheroo | 02:49 |
| arkie | tgm4883, i see | 02:49 |
| arkie | or could it be that debugfs isn't automatically mounted tgm4883 ? | 02:50 |
| marshalcure | ok bazhang i'm sorry but i have been trying to put this error on using pastebinit but i can not figure it out | 02:51 |
| === Wug[Hyperspace] is now known as Wug | ||
| marshalcure | when i type pastebinit "filename" it says it cant read it | 02:51 |
| marshalcure | i put the error on a text doc | 02:51 |
| bazhang | marshalcure, whats the exact command please | 02:52 |
| arkie | hot do i actually install vgaswitcheroo now tgm4883 ? | 02:53 |
| marshalcure | im sorry not sure what your asking | 02:53 |
| romero126 | argh. | 02:53 |
| avid_fan | romero126: Playing pirate? | 02:54 |
| romero126 | So many crashes. | 02:54 |
| bazhang | marshalcure, what are you trying to display using pastebinit? it's command | pastebinit usually, not filename pastebinit | 02:54 |
| romero126 | Chrome crashed. ... | 02:54 |
| romero126 | well rather lightpd related crash docking and undocking UI in chrome. | 02:55 |
| avid_fan | romero126: Oh, I see. I have to say, imho, Chrome on Linux < Chrome on Windo$e. | 02:55 |
| romero126 | This is the 5th crash in 3 hours that is x related. | 02:56 |
| avid_fan | romero126: It makes me kinda sad. | 02:56 |
| marshalcure | o sorry i tried in terminal " conky | pastebinit" but i get a error saying im trying to send a black document. | 02:56 |
| marshalcure | blank* | 02:56 |
| WR-Stone | romero126, Yeah, I get that a lot in Chromium. I think I've got an unstable add-on. It usually crashes the add-ons first, then the browser. Then I have to ps and find the errant, still-running chromium processes, and kill them. | 02:56 |
| bernstein | Ben64, thank you for helping me fix 90% of my issues last night, much appreciated | 02:56 |
| ironmig | Hello. Can I ask questions about the server edition or is this strictly desktop version questions? | 02:57 |
| romero126 | Its not a chromium specific error with me. its alot of gui based errors. | 02:57 |
| Charcoalcat | Does anyone happen to know about problems with Access 2010 in PlayOnLinux? The problem is it thinks all my tables are secretly called ' "' (a space followed by a quotation mark) and won't let me run the query wizard because of it. (I'm required to use it for a class.) | 02:57 |
| bazhang | marshalcure, whats the end goal here? to remove the last remnants of a conky config just a few kb in size or less? | 02:57 |
| avid_fan | ironmig: You can ask, but #ubuntu-server might be more appropriate. | 02:57 |
| romero126 | I update my machine every day, and im getting intermittant errors where its not a continual crash and non conditional. | 02:58 |
| avid_fan | romero126: What version of Ubuntu and Chrome? Just curious. | 02:58 |
| WR-Stone | Charcoalcat, My experience with Wine isn't good with MS products. They use so many undocumented system calls that they tend to be incompatible. I suggest standing up a Windows VM and running MS products in the VM. | 02:58 |
| romero126 | the only link is unity and lightdm | 02:58 |
| tgm4883 | arkie_, I think so | 02:59 |
| marshalcure | to get a fresh install of conky. but those remnants are clinging to every fresh install and throwing errors | 02:59 |
| romero126 | Ubuntu is at 12.10 and Chrome is at the latest. | 02:59 |
| ironmig | Okay. So I'm going to turn my old computer into a server for minecraft/teampeak for me and a few friends. Would the conserved resources of using the server edition be worth the difficulty to set it up? | 02:59 |
| bazhang | marshalcure, have you read the conky beginners guide yet? | 02:59 |
| tgm4883 | marshalcure, I'm still waiting for an error message or list of files that aren't getting removed | 03:00 |
| avid_fan | ironmig: are you afraid of the command line? | 03:00 |
| WR-Stone | ironmig, Oddly enough, I've been pecking at setting up a MC server on Ubuntu 12.10. I have an older desktop computer running the desktop edition. I don't see any system performance issues on it. The PC is vintage about 2004. | 03:00 |
| marshalcure | the files are conky.conf and conky_no_x11.conf in the etc folder in root | 03:01 |
| romero126 | I know enough to do alot of dmg in linux and its still lame. :/ | 03:01 |
| bazhang | marshalcure, was that a yes or no to my question? have you read the conky beginners guide yet? | 03:01 |
| avid_fan | ironmig WR-Stone : in my experience minecraft can consume considerable RAM, so Ubuntu server, without X, can help you there. | 03:01 |
| marshalcure | yes | 03:02 |
| romero126 | hrmm | 03:02 |
| romero126 | brb | 03:02 |
| tgm4883 | marshalcure, those files don't belong to the conky package | 03:03 |
| WR-Stone | avid_fan, I have the same experience. I have to use adjusted settings to artificially limit it. Anyway, I don't know if Server would be better than Desktop. Theoretically, sure. Hard to say if you'll feel a difference, though. MC is the resource hog. ;) | 03:03 |
| ironmig | I guess I am a bit afraid of the command line, I just don't know were to look on resources of what commands you can use. I also want it to be completly remotely controlled so I can just stick it in a cloest without keyboard, mouse, or moniter. IS this possible and were do I look to set this up? | 03:03 |
| tgm4883 | marshalcure, which is why they aren't getting removed when you purge that package | 03:03 |
| Charcoalcat | WR-Stone: I did set up a virtual VM, but it says I need to install Service Pack 2! I did, and it still says so :( | 03:03 |
| tgm4883 | marshalcure, they belong to the conky-std package | 03:03 |
| Charcoalcat | (XP and Vista! Can't get ahold of a Windows 7 iso.) | 03:03 |
| marshalcure | so if i purge that will it take them with it | 03:04 |
| arkie | tgm4883, tried rebooting same thing, just says no file or directory | 03:04 |
| tgm4883 | marshalcure, also, they aren't in /etc, they are in /etc/conky/ (at least in 12.10) | 03:04 |
| arkie | so i guess you're right and i actually need to install vgaswitcheroo | 03:04 |
| sprezzatura | are there any scripts to provision an ubuntu server. things like check for sysctl and kernel params. networking etc? | 03:04 |
| WR-Stone | Charcoalcat, Hm ... don't know what to tell you. I'm fighting Win8 VirtualBox install at the moment. :P | 03:04 |
| tgm4883 | arkie, I still think you need to install vgaswitheroo | 03:04 |
| Monkeytoe | has anyone here been able to get ubuntu to install on a surface pro? | 03:04 |
| marshalcure | sorry that is where there at | 03:04 |
| marshalcure | are* | 03:04 |
| arkie | is that just sudo apt-get install vgaswitcheroo or something? | 03:04 |
| tgm4883 | arkie, yes | 03:04 |
| avid_fan | WR-Stone: Agreed MC is piggy. But it's my opinion that if I can save some MB from not running X, then MC can have it. :-) | 03:04 |
| WR-Stone | ironmig, Yes, it's possible. However, if you don't know the command line, you may find it rather daunting. | 03:05 |
| WR-Stone | avid_fan, Yep, I hear you. Again, theoretically, yes, a GUI-less box will have more resources to devote to MC. | 03:05 |
| tgm4883 | ironmig, what specs on the server? | 03:06 |
| avid_fan | ironmig: Wow, I'd have to suggest server to save as much RAM as possible for MC. Since administering MC cannot be done with some sort of GUI (that I'm aware of), running X just to give you a terminal seems silly. | 03:06 |
| arkie | installed vgaswitcheroo and same thing with that command tgm4883 no suchg file or directory | 03:06 |
| ironmig_ | Sorry client crashed I am a bit afraid of the command line, I just don't know were to look on resources of what commands you can use. I also want it to be completly remotely controlled so I can just stick it in a cloest without keyboard, mouse, or moniter. IS this possible and were do I look to set this up? | 03:06 |
| tgm4883 | ironmig, what specs on the server? | 03:07 |
| arkie | any other ideas? | 03:07 |
| WR-Stone | ironmig, Yes, it's possible. However, if you don't know the command line, you may find it rather daunting. The MC setup seems reasonable (I'll see if I can find the link I was using), but I've been using a command line since 1977. ;) | 03:07 |
| avid_fan | ironmig: I've been running an older HP ML350 for my MC server (3GB RAM), but I've recently switched to "desktop" hardware, Dell Optiplex 760 to conserve power. | 03:08 |
| tgm4883 | arkie, sorry, i'm out of ideas | 03:08 |
| ironmig_ | It is a AMD phenom ii x6, Radeon HD 6950, 8gb DDR3, 1TB mechanical hard drive, 650watt psu | 03:08 |
| tgm4883 | ironmig_, how many friends? | 03:08 |
| ironmig_ | Maybe 10 total on the server | 03:08 |
| tgm4883 | ironmig_, that should be plenty of resources I think | 03:09 |
| avid_fan | ironmig_: For your "ultimate" setup, you're going to have to learn about many things like, command line, screen/byobu, & ssh. | 03:09 |
| WR-Stone | ironmig_, Here's the guide I've been using: https://www.digitalocean.com/community/articles/how-to-set-up-a-minecraft-server-on-linux | 03:09 |
| WR-Stone | It includes the SSH instructions, as well as how to use screen. | 03:09 |
| avid_fan | WR-Stone: Good find. | 03:10 |
| tgm4883 | screen? | 03:10 |
| tgm4883 | I just wrote an upstart job | 03:10 |
| ironmig_ | YEah. I'm fine with learning. I love learning things about computers. I just find it hard to find good resources on server stuff and everyone uses terms that I don't understand | 03:10 |
| WR-Stone | tgm4883, That'd work, too. But screen may be easier for someone who doesn't know the command line or scripts. | 03:10 |
| avid_fan | tgm4883: I'm not a MC expert, but how would you admin the server after starting it, assuming you're not playing as OP? | 03:10 |
| WR-Stone | avid_fan, I was actually working on it earlier today. ;) | 03:11 |
| tgm4883 | WR-Stone, true, but then it doesn't start and stop the server | 03:11 |
| tgm4883 | avid_fan, I play as op | 03:11 |
| avid_fan | tgm4883: I see. | 03:11 |
| ironmig_ | I think theres a open source project called my mc admin that will allow me to control it from a web console | 03:11 |
| === Wug is now known as Wug[Hyperspace] | ||
| WR-Stone | tgm4883, I agree, and when I've got it up, I'll probably do an upstart script. Gotta get it actually running, first. ;) | 03:11 |
| avid_fan | ironmig_: I'll have to look into that. Sounds interesting. | 03:11 |
| tgm4883 | avid_fan, note, I've only been playing MC for a few days though, so IDK if that's a bad idea or not. It's just a family server, so it's probably fine | 03:12 |
| tgm4883 | WR-Stone, having issues getting it running? | 03:12 |
| avid_fan | tgm4883: Me too, the family part. It's just that I don't always play, but I get asked to do this, that, or the other. So to each his own... :-) | 03:13 |
| === Wug[Hyperspace] is now known as Wug | ||
| WR-Stone | tgm4883, See, I have this little project of modeling the US public debt in MC as gold blocks. Turns out that with unfunded mandates, it's a cube roughly 500 blocks in every direction. I want to stick it on the net and let people connect and be amazed at the friggin' mountain of gold. I'm not really having trouble getting the server up, more easily creating an object of that size. I was mostly working on that part. | 03:14 |
| avid_fan | avid_fan: I find that OPing everone is usually a bad idea, so I like having console access. | 03:14 |
| tgm4883 | WR-Stone, ah | 03:14 |
| === aarcane_ is now known as aarcane | ||
| tgm4883 | WR-Stone, ah, I knew I had seen that before http://www.minecraftforum.net/topic/1754579-public-debt-mega-structure/ | 03:15 |
| WR-Stone | Yep, that was me. :) | 03:16 |
| tgm4883 | :) | 03:16 |
| WR-Stone | Turns out it's rather hard to do. MCEdit won't create a structure that size reliably. | 03:16 |

| WR-Stone | Ye gods ... starting up a Win8 VM. Man, I hope they don't frak up Ubuntu Touch the way they did Win. I don't even want to run it, but considering I'm a college professor in IT, I kind of have to. :P | 03:21 |

| AcidRain | my ubuntu 12 system keeps making beepy sounds | 03:21 |
| AcidRain | it sounds like its mounting something | 03:22 |
| AcidRain | this happens roughly once every minute. it makes beep beep, beep beep beep | 03:22 |
| WR-Stone | AcidRain, It's two beeps, a pause, and three beeps? | 03:22 |
| AcidRain | no. its sounds like 5 beeps x2 | 03:22 |
| AcidRain | ill have to wait for it to come around again | 03:23 |
| avid_fan | AcidRain: I immediately started singing, 'She'll be comin' around the mountain...' | 03:23 |
| Morphy | this davmail thing is an interesting concept | 03:23 |
| WR-Stone | Hm ... no idea. Sometimes the PC BIOS beeps, but that's before boot. I'll Google and see what I can find. | 03:24 |
| avid_fan | Morphy: as is polygamy. Your point? | 03:24 |
| === Guest17128 is now known as fego | ||

| Morphy | avid_fan, nice - just that it's an interesting concept to detach Exchange support out of evolution or thunderbird and convert it into a stand-aline app | 03:25 |
| avid_fan | AcidRain: How does it "sounds like its mounting something"? Is there HDD noise associated with the beeps? | 03:25 |
| arkie | tgm4883, | 03:25 |

| avid_fan | Morphy: sorry, just in a mood to be cheeky. :-) | 03:25 |
| AcidRain | avid_fan, no. usually when i mount a drive, it makes a sound. | 03:26 |
| Morphy | avid_fan, totally understand - don't worry, I can take it :) | 03:26 |
| AcidRain | this time when i booted automounter mounted 2 external drives. | 03:26 |
| AcidRain | also, my system hangs during these beeps for a moment | 03:26 |
| WR-Stone | AcidRain, You mean like mounting a CD or something? With magnetic or USB drives, I've never heard a thing. | 03:26 |
| AcidRain | :/ | 03:26 |
| AcidRain | well how do i turn it off? lol | 03:26 |
| avid_fan | AcidRain: I have to agree with WR-Stone, never heard of such a situation. | 03:27 |
| WR-Stone | AcidRain, I'd be inclined to type 'dmesg' at the command line after you get beeps. There might be something going wrong under the hood that's being caught by logging. | 03:27 |
| avid_fan | Morphy: Agreed. Hadn't heard of davmail, but why not? Sounds interesting. | 03:28 |
| avid_fan | Morphy: There's the potential to open Exchange access to many front-ends. | 03:28 |

| avid_fan | dividedby1: Cast your line and depending on the bait you may, or may not, get a response. | 03:34 |
| Morphy | avid_fan, doesn't bother me as much - my wife dislikes it though - growing up with snow you get kind of used to it :) - it'll fun to plow out the driveway in the morning though - wish I could program Ubuntu to do it for me :D | 03:34 |
| MBD123 | dividedby1: Nope, sorry. I usually do web stuff on Windows | 03:34 |

| romero126 | reokie, I have never installed that flavor if linux on that system. There are plenty of drivers. it should work out of the box. but I could not tell you for certain | 04:06 |

| nurow | Hello. I'm on Ubuntu 12.10, and trying to resize an encrypted partition. I'm using the ResizeEncryptedPartition guide to do this. About halfway through the guide, I run into a section where it tells me to use the command "sudo e2fsck -f /dev/mapper/hardy-root" -- obviously, I'm not on hardy so this command does not work. I tried replacing the word hardy with quantal, but it still finds no partition. What am i doing wrong? | 04:39 |
| RileyGuy | I want a super OS one that has the capabilities of ubuntu yet the functionality of windows | 04:39 |
| avid_fan | RileyGuy: Really? | 04:40 |
| nurow | lol | 04:40 |
| RileyGuy | yes :P | 04:40 |
| RileyGuy | brb | 04:40 |
| nurow | maybe he means the software compatibility of windows. | 04:40 |
| avid_fan | RileyGuy: I suggest you use *nix for a year. | 04:40 |
| she_dyed | nurow: don't type hardy, press TAB | 04:40 |

| willryder | Mr. Dingle is a good man. | 04:41 |

| michaela | hello i have a question about openvpn | 05:00 |
| michaela | can you guys see my messages | 05:02 |
| bazhang | michaela, whats the exact question | 05:02 |
| bazhang | !openvpn | michaela | 05:04 |
| ubottu | michaela: OpenVPN is a vpn technology in Ubuntu, sudo apt-get install openvpn and then see http://openvpn.net/ and see the documentation "HOWTO" noting you have already installed it. ;-) It rocks! | 05:04 |
| nurow | Can anyone explain "lvreduce -L 1G" to me? This reduces the partition TO 1 Gig, or BY 1 gig? | 05:04 |
| michaela | how does it work. i know vpn is server client. so if i install the client do i need to install a server for it | 05:04 |
| bazhang | michaela, did you read the link ? | 05:05 |
| michaela | yes its just the website i went there but its confusing | 05:06 |
| bazhang | http://manpages.ubuntu.com/manpages/quantal/man8/lvreduce.8.html nurow | 05:06 |
| bazhang | michaela, and you read the "howto" ? | 05:07 |
| nurow | thanks! | 05:08 |
| michaela | not yet give me a second | 05:08 |
| michaela | ok my question about openvpn is if i "sudo apt-get install openvpn" is that the client or the server | 05:12 |
| WotWhere | i have a HP Pavilion Laptop - the touchpad is very sensitive, is there a way to calibrate it? | 05:13 |
| KxTwo | Hey guys is there a reason why the version of eclipse in the software center is so old? | 05:13 |
| sp3ct3r | michaela: probably server...since vpn clients should already be supported | 05:16 |
| fedesilva | hi, can I create a bash function and execute it using the dash? | 05:16 |
| rob_p | michaela: It's both. Openvpn's role is determined by it's config file. | 05:16 |
| michaela | rob_p have you installed it | 05:17 |
| nurow | Hmmm, when I do this in the ResizeEncryptedPartition guide I get: "ubuntu@ubuntu:~$ sudo mkswap -L swap_1 /dev/ubuntu/swap1" I get: "/dev/ubuntu/swap1: No such file or directory" | 05:19 |
| fedesilva | something like: function test(){ echo "hi $} And run it from the dash with some parameter | 05:19 |
| nurow | My previous command was succesful: sudo lvcreate -L 512m -n swap_1 ubuntu Logical volume "swap_1" created | 05:20 |
| Allard | hello! I cannot install wine and skype? | 05:20 |

| dwkw | Hello. | 05:21 |
| Fou | has any one installed plex on ubuntu? | 05:21 |
| reokie | Allard: What happens when you run "sudo apt-get install skype"? | 05:21 |
| Allard | Some packages could not be installed. This may mean that you have | 05:22 |
| Allard | requested an impossible situation or if you are using the unstable | 05:22 |
| Allard | distribution that some required packages have not yet been created | 05:22 |
| Allard | or been moved out of Incoming. | 05:22 |

| FloodBot1 | Allard: Please don't flood; use http://paste.ubuntu.com to paste; don't use Enter as punctuation. | 05:22 |
| Allard | The following packages have unmet dependencies: | 05:22 |
| dwkw | I have a serious problem trying to even run ubuntu on my Alienware mx17 R4 , can't really even run the installer. Can't seem to figure out whats wrong. | 05:23 |
| dwkw | m17x* | 05:23 |
| Allard | did you see reokie? | 05:23 |
| Allard | reokie did you see | 05:24 |
| Fou | has any one have experence with plex media server? | 05:24 |
| dwkw | Problem is the screen doesn't even stay on when it runs. It allows me to select run off cd or install. after a few seconds it goes purple like it should then screen goes off. Doesn't do this with anything else. idk what else to do. | 05:24 |
| rob_p | michaela: yes, I have. | 05:25 |
| bazhang | Allard, why do you need wine? Ubuntu has skype for install | 05:25 |
| nurow | sudo mount /dev/ubuntu/root /mnt | 05:25 |
| nurow | mount: wrong fs type, bad option, bad superblock on /dev/mapper/ubuntu-root, missing codepage or helper program, or other error In some cases useful info is found in syslog - try dmesg | tail or so | 05:25 |
| Allard | I need wine to run one dictionary | 05:25 |
| nurow | what would be causing this? I'm scared :( | 05:25 |
| Allard | ubuntu has skype for install but when I click it it gives me error like the one I posted above | 05:26 |
| rob_p | michaela: I use it all the time, but mostly on headless servers. | 05:26 |
| bazhang | Allard, how is that connected to skype? | 05:26 |
| nurow | has anyone had experience resizing encrypted partitions? | 05:26 |
| michaela | rob_p: what is a headless server | 05:26 |
| michaela | im a noob | 05:26 |
| Allard | These are two separate issues bazhang | 05:26 |
| rob_p | michaela: No local keyboard, mouse, monitor... | 05:27 |
| Allard | but both give me similar error | 05:27 |
| rob_p | michaela: servers... | 05:27 |
| she_dyed | nurow see if there are several to choose from, under /mnt | 05:27 |
| rob_p | michaela: but OpenVPN works great on desktop machines too. | 05:27 |
| she_dyed | hit tab twice or something | 05:27 |
| she_dyed | after /mnt | 05:27 |
| nurow | nothing | 05:28 |
| jaurrison | hey guys I just installed Ubuntu 12.04 and the unity launcher is completely black | 05:28 |
| nurow | and if I try to mount the volume now it fails | 05:28 |
| she_dyed | yeah dmesg | tail | 05:28 |
| dwkw | at least you can install it. mine goes black after i hit ente to install and i get nothing after that. | 05:28 |
| Allard | so does somebody has a clue on what can be done? | 05:29 |
| basil_kurian_ | Is it possible to increase the value of 'nofile' in /etc/security/limits.conf beyond 65535 | 05:29 |
| nurow | she_dyed, any ideas? should I link you to the guide i'm following | 05:29 |
| rob_p | michaela: Have a look at their Website. There's lots of great documentation available there too. | 05:29 |
| she_dyed | got to learn to read those messages | 05:29 |
| michaela | rob_p: do you have to buy service from a vpn server with openvpn or is open vpn some thing that i have to rig up | 05:29 |
| she_dyed | nurow: ^^ | 05:29 |
| WACOMalt | Anyone know how to control the fan on a laptop where sensors-detect doesnt find any fan controllers? Windows is able to control the fan fine using a few free programs. | 05:29 |
| WACOMalt | Just trying to set it to 100% since this laptop's heat management is terrible | 05:29 |
| WACOMalt | Whats odd is Linux is able to step the fan speed up and down. if I hit 80 degrees it steps up, just not enough. | 05:30 |
| WACOMalt | so linux CAN control the fan somehow. but I have no idea how it's doing it | 05:30 |
| rob_p | michaela: It depends on what you are trying to accomplish, and what you plan on providing for yourself. | 05:30 |
| nurow | "dmesg | tail" is that for me? | 05:30 |
| she_dyed | yes nurow it is your best lead | 05:31 |
| nurow | oh god: http://pastebin.com/zTpjS3wz | 05:31 |
| jaurrison | so what's with the black unity launcher thing? | 05:31 |
| rob_p | michaela: If you are just looking to get connected to a, "Personal VPN Provider" then you can use OpenVPN as a client to connect to their service (for a fee, of course). | 05:32 |
| michaela | rob_p: i just wont to protect myself on public wifi and have true anonymity | 05:32 |
| Allard | what is that command she_dyed | 05:33 |
| rob_p | michaela: If you have access to a server somewhere and want to run your own VPN server, you can do that too. | 05:33 |
| nurow | actually i think those last 3 errors are from when I was trying to make the swap too large. I ultimately made the swap 512m because it wouldn't let me make my swap any larger. my old swap was 7.79G | 05:34 |
| michaela | rob_p: oh i see than openvpn is for making my own rig | 05:34 |
| rob_p | michaela: A VPN is a good choice for protecting your data on a public/untrusted network. It's not really intended for anonymizing though. | 05:34 |
| poisoned_dragon | nurow: are you using a 32bit or 64bit os | 05:36 |
| michaela | ok thanks rob_p | 05:36 |
| rob_p | michaela: Yeah, you can, "roll your own" with OpenVPN. | 05:36 |
| poisoned_dragon | with a 32bit distro, your swap can't be bigger than 4gb. | 05:36 |
| nurow | 64bit | 05:37 |
| poisoned_dragon | ah, ok. Just checking | 05:37 |
| michaela | rob_p: i get it know thanks for you help | 05:37 |
| nurow | I am completely stumped and completely afraid :( | 05:38 |
| rob_p | michaela: welcome, good luck... | 05:38 |
| wilee-nilee | nurow, Did you just delete the swap or try top resize it? | 05:40 |
| she_dyed | 7 start from the beginning nurow | 05:40 |
| nurow | I was instructed to delete and recreate the swap by the ResizeEncryptedPartition guide. | 05:41 |
| nurow | here is a pastebin of everything: http://pastebin.com/PYrT3Zxs | 05:41 |
| she_dyed | you're following a guide that came out with hardy right nurow | 05:44 |
| nurow | yeah | 05:46 |
| nurow | this is the guide: https://help.ubuntu.com/community/ResizeEncryptedPartitions | 05:46 |
| she_dyed | wait did you resize the swap thats on the lvm | 05:47 |
| nurow | yes, the guide has me remove that swap and then recreate it | 05:47 |
| nurow | the two commands: sudo lvcreate -L 512m -n swap_1 hardy | 05:48 |
| nurow | sudo mkswap -L swap_1 /dev/hardy/swap1 | 05:48 |
| nurow | that second command in the guide has a typo between swap and 1, so I changed swap1 to swap_1 | 05:49 |

| tush | cortexA9, will it work flawlessly | 06:04 |
| caius_ | does anyone have a clue of what to do? | 06:05 |
| tush | cortexA9, without any fuss because im not hardcore linux user but love to use linux | 06:05 |
| Sutarmekeg | highest load on the cpu right now is the system monitor which I just ran to check it | 06:05 |
| poisoned_dragon | caius_: It's possible that the system monitor issues is a symptom of the over heating and not the cause. | 06:05 |
| poisoned_dragon | Are your vents clean? | 06:05 |
| Sutarmekeg | 12% | 06:05 |

| nurow | That is what I did. I pasted the results of it up above. | 06:07 |
| nurow | it returned those four directories | 06:07 |
| she_dyed | no you only typed u | 06:07 |
| she_dyed | type mount blah blah | 06:07 |
| she_dyed | but press the tab after the u in ubuntu | 06:08 |
| cortexA9 | tush: the problem is you need to open the port on your router. | 06:08 |
| tush | cortexA9, ok let me try Xrdp | 06:08 |
| zvacet | hg: try http://www.downloadhelper.net/ | 06:08 |

| she_dyed | its not there right | 06:10 |
| hg | zvacet thanks dude i will try it | 06:10 |
| nurow | I assumed it was ubuntu. how can i ceck? | 06:10 |
| nurow | check* | 06:10 |
| she_dyed | go back to the guide | 06:10 |
| she_dyed | and that error message was /dev/mapper/ubuntuwhatever | 06:10 |
| she_dyed | so tab on the u after mapper/ | 06:11 |
| nurow | LV Path /dev/ubuntu/swap_1 | 06:11 |
| she_dyed | i think thats why you're getting errors on mount | 06:11 |
| she_dyed | you were making it mount the wrong one | 06:12 |
| nurow | oh snap | 06:12 |
| nurow | let me try | 06:12 |
| Sutarmekeg | Also, not nvidia and not ivy bridge, those lucky people seem to have had their problems solved | 06:13 |

| she_dyed | but you can't skip to the next commands | 06:16 |
| she_dyed | without getting the prior ones correct first | 06:16 |
| she_dyed | thats why you get unknown fs | 06:16 |

| Sutarmekeg | it sometimes happens whenever I stop using the computer for a minute or two, but then again, it could happen in the middle of doing something | 06:18 |
| nurow | would it be this command: "sudo lvcreate -L 512m -n swap_1 ubuntu" | 06:19 |
| she_dyed | i suspect it has more to do with the root part of lvm | 06:19 |

| MarkPit | when i connect, i see my desktop wallpaper, but no launcher | 06:30 |
| cortexA9 | me too. | 06:30 |
| cortexA9 | mark | 06:30 |
| cortexA9 | same problem. | 06:30 |
| MarkPit | did some searching and found a few people saying i need an .xsession file and the have suggestions on what to put in it | 06:31 |
| Gr3mlin | has been running really well, just put a new CPU in and it reboots just after grub. any takers? | 06:31 |
| MarkPit | but it still doesn't work | 06:31 |
| Blue1 | she_dyed: yes, but that still did not find the file -- no version of linux I have used had a missing /var/log/messages -- it just isn't there. | 06:31 |
| she_dyed | lose the last s | 06:31 |
| she_dyed | and i'll forget what you said about using linux | 06:32 |
| she_dyed | wait a sec | 06:32 |
| she_dyed | duh! | 06:32 |
| she_dyed | (for me) | 06:33 |
| Blue1 | she_dyed: I am saying there is no file in /var/ anywhere for messages | 06:33 |
| she_dyed | but do you have the syslog rsyslog , etc Blue1 | 06:33 |
| she_dyed | or are they missing as well | 06:33 |
| Blue1 | she_dyed: syslog is there | 06:34 |
| Blue1 | she_dyed: this was a complete fresh install - no upgrade | 06:34 |
| she_dyed | oh i remember an ubuntu bug report | 06:34 |
| she_dyed | wait how recent | 06:34 |
| Blue1 | this is also xubuntu not ubuntu | 06:34 |
| Blue1 | ok | 06:34 |
| Blue1 | today | 06:35 |
| she_dyed | where the logs dont 'logrotate' | 06:35 |
| she_dyed | wait too new | 06:35 |
| she_dyed | sorry | 06:35 |
| Blue1 | ? | 06:35 |
| Blue1 | 12.04 is a year old | 06:35 |
| she_dyed | fresh should have it though | 06:35 |
| Blue1 | yes logs not rotated, but there is no file to rotate, that's what I am saying | 06:36 |

| Blue1 | th0r: I am looking for /var/log/messages | 06:37 |
| Blue1 | and there isn't one | 06:37 |
| she_dyed | now run sudo cryptsetup status crypt1 nurow should get something | 06:37 |
| MarkPit | Blue1 i think different distros use different filenames for logs | 06:37 |
| th0r | Blue1: ubuntu has moved everything to /var/log/syslot | 06:37 |
| she_dyed | nurow you can paste 1 liners here even 2 | 06:38 |

| nurow | ejv, I require encryption because of the work I do. And thanks, I've actually been using pastebin | 07:23 |
| auronandace | nurow: that guide uses hardy as an example, a lot might have changed since 2008 | 07:24 |
| nurow | I know :( but I haven't been able to find any updated guide, and now I'm stuck with this error and no access to my harddrive. | 07:25 |
| ejv | I'm just glancing at the guide, but it appears wrong in a few areas, and also could result in loss of data. | 07:27 |
| nurow | I've noticed :( | 07:27 |
| ejv | I would restore from backup, probably save time that way. | 07:28 |
| helmut_ | hi | 07:28 |
| nurow | I only have a backup of my files, not all my applications and full drive, etc. I couldn' figure out how to make a full image of the encrypted drive | 07:28 |
| nurow | it would take me a month to restore all of that | 07:28 |
| she_dyed | iirc the command (before the mount) is vgchange -a y nurow | 07:29 |
| ejv | nurow: dd is a great tool for that | 07:29 |

| she_dyed | =( | 07:30 |

| auronandace | nurow: why would you need that much space? | 07:35 |
| she_dyed | nurow i've seen other lvm resize links, warning about smaller | 07:35 |
| nurow | auronandace: uhhh, because that is the size of my harddrive?? | 07:35 |
| auronandace | nurow: ah sorry, i thought you meant you gave ubuntu a root partition of that size | 07:36 |
| rifter | okay guys I have an incredibly simple question. I am trying to create a new partition on a new 4TB disk. However, every tool has some problem. cfdisk said it would create a 4TB partition but the partition only ended up being 1.7TB instead. gparted said the same thing but it tried to create liek a 7TB partition even though it said that it was making a 4TB one, and that didn't work. plain old fdisk, well, on that I seem to have had a probl | 07:36 |
| rifter | em setting the sector size or something correctly | 07:36 |
| she_dyed | but once he gets the mount working, he'd be almost done | 07:36 |
| nurow | OH, lol | 07:36 |
| nurow | nah i'm shrinking my main partition so I can increase the size of the root partition | 07:37 |
| rifter | I can pastebin the gparted error if you like. I hate it when gparted breaks | 07:37 |
| rifter | seems like tehre was some otehr tool but IO forget what it was, and the Ubuntu docs only talk about gparted | 07:38 |
| ejv | rifter: parted | 07:39 |
| nurow | she_dyed, on the /dev/mapper/ubuntu-root vs. /dev/ubuntu/root.. both of those pathes are basically in this guide in their hardy version... do you think it is a problem with the guide where it had me mess up my partitions? | 07:39 |
| rifter | ejv, ok thanks I will try that | 07:39 |
| she_dyed | nurow this page says the physical partition should now match the new size http://is.gd/Z69Rk3 | 07:40 |
| she_dyed | idk if your guide has that step but seems your system responds the same whether its 'mapper' or 'ubuntu' | 07:41 |
| ejv | rifter: you need an EFI standard BIOS and you need to use a GUID partition table (GPT) to address 4TB of disk. | 07:41 |
| ejv | rifter: `man parted` should suffice | 07:41 |
| nurow | my guide had no references to fsck like ths guide does | 07:42 |
| she_dyed | wait thats without LUKS | 07:43 |
| she_dyed | ignore that then | 07:43 |
| nurow | but this guide is not for luks | 07:43 |
| nurow | ya | 07:43 |
| nurow | http://www.gigahype.com/resize-luks-encryped-lvm-partition/ | 07:45 |
| nurow | should i follow that? | 07:45 |
| nurow | http://pastebin.com/5SSV3REg | 07:47 |
| nurow | a wrongly sized partition table is definitely the problem here. I'm not sure how to tell which partition is wrongly sized though | 07:47 |
| ejv | I'd pastebin the commands you already performed, in order, so someone can make sense of what's happened | 07:48 |
| nurow | sure, I'll do a new one, one sec | 07:48 |
| rifter | ejv, yeah I am looking at that, two things pop up.. it seems not to support ext4 although I don't think that has to be a parameter at the partition level, and it doesn;t show me a number I can use o say just use the whole disk | 07:49 |
| rifter | ejv, the user's manual on gnu's site, and the man page don't even talk about ext4.. they just say it does not support ext3 and talks about that you can only set ext2 | 07:50 |
| nurow | several commands are now cut off in the command window, but here it is: http://pastebin.com/3LmqE1rz | 07:50 |
| === branant_ is now known as branant | ||
| rifter | ejv, seems like tehre was another gui tool that was more forgiving, but I forget what. Maybe you can see what gparted is doing.. let me pastebin that error | 07:51 |
| nurow | wait, this command, I think this must be it: | 07:52 |
| ejv | rifter: you're partitioning, not creating a filesystem, these are completely different operations that are independent of one another | 07:52 |
| nurow | sudo lvreduce -L -10G /dev/ubuntu/root | 07:52 |
| nurow | how do I reverse that? | 07:52 |
| rifter | ejv, yes I know that, it's just there is a partition type part and for soem reason parted and gparted want to set that to a filesystem specific thing instead of just using one for linux | 07:53 |
| ejv | rifter: you are mistaken | 07:55 |
| ejv | rifter: this should basically be a handful of commands: parted /dev/sdX; mklabel gpt; mkpart primary <start> <end> | 07:56 |
| Dave77 | how do i make a usb stick global writable in fstab? | 07:56 |
| nurow | tried to extend, but I don't have enough space | 07:56 |
| rifter | I used to do this manually with cfdisk and fdisk before, but for some reaosn they are not working.. anyway this is the result when I tell gparted to make a partition of size 3815447 for ext4 which the former is the default: "partition length of 7814033408 sectors exceeds the | 07:57 |
| rifter | msdos-partition-table-imposed maximum of 4294967295: | 07:57 |
| nurow | http://pastebin.com/m1Lex55y | 07:57 |
| ejv | Dave77: man mount | 07:57 |
| ejv | Dave77: look under "Filesystem Independent Mount Options"; there are a myriad of options available. | 07:57 |
| alimj1 | Dave77: also man fstab | 07:57 |
| rifter | ejv, yes I know that but for instance this is the syntax for mkpart: Command: mkpart part-type [fs-type] start end | 07:58 |
| rifter | fs-type must be on of these supported file systems: | 07:58 |

| rifter | ejjv and as I ssaid gpaerted explicitly requires choosing a filesystem from the dropdown. What it actual;ly does wih the partition when you do that I dunno | 08:00 |
| rifter | ejv, so there is NO option fror not speciftying file system types | 08:01 |
| rifter | ejv, here I will pasted na dyou wills ee what I mean | 08:01 |
| ejv | rifter: I believe you, although it's odd. Specify ext2, it doesn't really matter. | 08:01 |

| brayn | ejv: From what I can see on launchpad the 'bug' is marked as fixed. I don't understand how can I get the fixes | 08:12 |

| ejv | rifter: this disk is empty I imagine, just experiment and observe the results; if you make a mistake, try again. No damage can be done at this stage. To view your changes type 'print'. I really suggest reading the documentation on this though. | 08:14 |

| nurow | /dev/mapper/ubuntu-root contains a file system with errors, check forced. Resize inode not valid. Recreate<y>? | 08:19 |
| ejv | nurow: pretty straight foward mke2fs creates an ext family filesystem (-S means write superblock) and then runs a check. | 08:20 |
| ejv | rifter: I have no idea what you just said. You created a gpt label correct? Then created a single partition: `mkpart primary blah 1 -1` | 08:21 |
| Dave77 | what command do i type to format a usb stick as ext2? | 08:21 |
| ejv | Dave77: man mkfs.ext2 | 08:21 |
| nurow | I think this command just destroyed my file system | 08:21 |
| === sw_ is now known as sw | ||
| nurow | it wasn't compatible with luks. | 08:21 |
| ejv | Dave77: essentially `sudo mkfs.ext2 /dev/<target>` | 08:22 |
| rifter | ejv, yes and it gives that same error as gparted. This site seems to indicate that msdos style partitions are limited to 2TB http://foorum.hinnavaatlus.ee/viewtopic.php?p=7609221&sid=7a8e6f98aab2156f3d46db03aa02eb86 | 08:22 |
| ejv | rifter: do you have an EFI standard BIOS that would support a disk of this size? | 08:23 |
| rifter | ejv, which is interesting. at first I thought it was saying that itw as trying to create like a 7TB partition when I told it to do a 4TB one. Yes I believe I do have a bios that supports a disk of this size. It shows as the right size in the BIOS | 08:24 |
| ejv | rifter: pastebin the process: parted /dev/<target>; mklabel gpt; mkpart primary fs 1 -1; | 08:24 |
| nurow | it is literally overwriting every single inode | 08:24 |
| nurow | DAMMIT | 08:24 |

| rifter | ejv, okay I pastebinned th eprevious one.. I'll do what you said explicitly | 08:25 |
| ejv | nurow: read what I wrote carefully, I said it creates an ext filesystem and then performs a check (of it) | 08:25 |

| alimj1 | bal: Simply change chown back to original user | 08:29 |

| Reiji_ | but there not really fail messages while I try to boot it it it just stopps after a time to continue | 08:31 |
| rifter | ejv, well mklabel was what I needed to do. for some reason I thought that was to make BSD style disk labels. doing what you said worked perfectly! Thanks. Now gparted is formatting the partition to ext4 | 08:31 |
| alimj1 | bal: I do not get the point? You mean you do not know the correct user for vhost? | 08:31 |
| zamba | i started moving some files and then the gui froze and the copy dialog disappeared.. but the job is still running.. how can i kill it? | 08:32 |

| ejv | nurow: You could possibly boot your system using the Ubuntu LiveCD environment or Knoppix (I'm old school like that) and then manually "guess" how your partition was laid out prior. The major issue is that mkfs is a destructive operation that writes new superblocks, inodes, bitmaps, etc. throughout the target partition. Any data at those locations were overwritten by the new structure. | 08:35 |
| alimj1 | bal: You said you Ctrl+C during the process. Why cant you check within the remaining files? | 08:36 |
| rifter | ejv, quick question.. usually when I have done /etc/fstab I use the old naming convention of /dsv/sdb1 for instance.. but Ubuntu does support using uuids.. I vaguely remember mucking with that before but I forget that process | 08:36 |

| hoxer | Guys .. i'm in dispair | 08:56 |
| cfhowlett | *despair" | 08:56 |
| hoxer | thx | 08:56 |
| ejv | nurow: You could possibly boot your system using the Ubuntu LiveCD environment or Knoppix (I'm old school like that) and then manually "guess" how your partition was laid out prior. The major issue is that mkfs is a destructive operation that writes new superblocks, inodes, bitmaps, etc. throughout the target partition. Any data at those locations were overwritten by the new structure. | 08:57 |
| hoxer | despair it is. I'm editing files that I don't own through gedit/sftp.. everytime I save.. I get ownership of the file. How is that even possible | 08:57 |
| hoxer | it feels like a giant hole in the permission system. | 08:57 |
| vlt | hoxer: Maybe the old file is removed and a new one is written. | 08:58 |
| ejv | nurow: There's also the fact you have a layer an additional layers of LVM and encryption, which makes getting at the data more difficult. That said, it's not impossible to recover data, but it's outside the realm of support I can provide. | 08:58 |
| hoxer | vlt: Hmm, that's a good suggestion.. I wouldn't know how to check it though | 08:59 |
| vlt | hoxer: If you’re allowed to write to the file and to delete it then it doesn’t sound like a giant security issue to me … just weird editor behaviour. | 09:00 |
| mindbender1 | is there a way of knowing where `apt-get source` puts its files | 09:00 |
| vlt | hoxer: Maybe using inotify | 09:00 |
| vlt | hoxer: inotify-tools ships with inotify-wait or -watch. It tells you what happens to the file in detail. | 09:01 |
| hoxer | I guess I'm not the only one.. people collaborating through sftp must experience this frequently, if using gedit | 09:01 |
| Safa_[A_boy] | hi all, How can I make an ftp server on my localhost address ? | 09:01 |
| hoxer | thx for tip | 09:01 |
| alimj1 | mindbender: /etc/apt /var/lib/apt | 09:01 |
| alimj1 | mindbender1: Why do you want that? Do you require the config files or cache files? | 09:02 |
| mindbender1 | I want to view the source file | 09:02 |
| mindbender1 | I want it to put it at /usr/local/src | 09:02 |
| vlt | hoxer: For a multi user env you should propably switch to a “real” network file system. (€ 0.02) | 09:02 |
| hoxer | vlt: yeah, but the boss is way to cheap | 09:03 |
| vlt | hoxer: To setup NFS on the server? | 09:04 |

I have firewall disabled in the server and configured my router to bypass VPN port. What can I do? | 09:34 |
| arkie_ | now it says it can't find the keepasshttp.dll | 09:34 |
| arkie_ | i've found its in the 'mono' folder | 09:34 |
| arkie_ | so how would i write the command then? | 09:35 |
| cutie | arkie_: It looks like you copied KeePassHttp.dll | 09:35 |
| cutie | which is not the same as keepasshttp.dll | 09:35 |
| MonkeyDust | arkie_ .dll sounds windows / wine to me | 09:35 |
| cutie | Linux filenames are case-sensitive | 09:35 |
| arkie_ | Yep I made it the same. | 09:36 |
| agarwood | Hi, how are you ? Sorry I have a problem, when I make a disk EXT4 with gparted, I can't create any file and also change name of this partition, but I can do all this things with a NTFS... Why ? Thank you | 09:36 |

| agarwood | I mean create any file in this partition, sorry | 09:36 |
| arkie_ | There was a commit which moved the .dll to the 'mono' folder | 09:37 |
| arkie_ | https://github.com/pfn/keepasshttp | 09:37 |
| arkie_ | I'm just not sure how to reflect this in the actual command. | 09:37 |
| MonkeyDust | arkie_ it's a ppa, careful with it -- .dll is windows, why do you want to use a windows solution for something ubuntu? | 09:37 |
| CrazyBird | cutie: Hello! I need help with this. I've set up ubuntu 12.10, installed LAMP and OpenVPN. After a bit of set-up work, I can connect to the VPN from the LAN and from outside (Internet).

| MonkeyDust | CrazyBird a server? there's also #ubuntu-server | 09:38 |
| MonkeyDust | arkie_ yes, but why windows? | 09:38 |

| MonkeyDust | arkie_ ppa's are not supported here | 09:39 |
| arkie_ | ls -la /tmp/keepasshttp/KeePassHttp/* shows the .dll isn't actually in the folder and there was a recent commit which moved it into the 'mono' folder | 09:40 |
| LinuxHorst | igoryonya, http://www.usr-local-share.com/?p=594 | 09:40 |
| arkie_ | How should I adjust the command to reflect this MonkeyDust ? | 09:40 |
| MonkeyDust | arkie_ no idea, i'm not familiar with windows, plus: it's a ppa | 09:40 |
| MonkeyDust | arkie_ better ask in ##windows how to deal with .dll | 09:41 |

| Sutarmekeg | Thanks, that'll probably solve my problem... or not. | 09:47 |

I have installed Ubuntu several twice on this machine through Wubi, but whenever CHKDSK ran during startup my Wubi installation flew away.

| MonkeyDust | zastovisee is there are reason you want to use channel 13 ? | 13:34 |
| subz3r0 | zastovisee: check if the netmask is 255.255.255.0 on the router too | 13:35 |
| zastovisee | subz3r0: i noticed thet ther are newer drivers just dont know how to istall i know to "make install" just dont know do i have to delete old drivers , what is subnetting | 13:35 |
| subz3r0 | zastovisee: never change a running system :) | 13:35 |
| MonkeyDust | zastovisee or you'll end up here, asking to help you out | 13:36 |
| subz3r0 | zastovisee: the routing is fine as far as i can see. but if you changed iptables or the router settings that could be the problem | 13:36 |
| zastovisee | subz3r0: on ruter i dident change anything | 13:36 |
| zastovisee | MonkeyDust: yes beacuse 13 gives me good signal | 13:37 |
| subz3r0 | zastovisee: subnetting/supernetting means that you can give a larger ip-pool for the hosts-area or the net-area... e.g you can change your netmask that only 2 clients will fit in the range... anyway... forget that... :) | 13:37 |

| THE_DUDEZ0R | http://jasondreisbach.com/falstad/#2 I'm trying to watch a tutorial on this page, but it requires java to run embedded on the browser. However chrome seems to neither have this plugin, nor can it find it elsewhere in order for me to play this, so what dcan I do? | 13:39 |
| zastovisee | subz3r0: is it posible thet somthing is wrong whit driver beacuse on win7 it works normal on channel 13 | 13:40 |
| Bauer1 | thanks subz3r0 , apparently current IS 304 after all.. But all guides for Ubuntu always refer to System -> Administration stuff, and I cant find it in newer Unity interface | 13:40 |
| Bauer1 | how do I get to those screens? | 13:40 |
| cfhowlett | Capprentice, that big a PDF would better be put in dropbox/ubuntuone or even a private torrent. Don't expect it to compress much more than it is | 13:40 |
| Capprentice | Thats a official need. I can not do that. Office has advised me to mail it. Mailing is the only option. | 13:41 |
| zastovisee | MonkeyDust: is it posible somthing is wrong whit dirvers beacuse on win 7 it works normal on channel 13 | 13:41 |
| cfhowlett | Capprentice, break it into sections then. | 13:42 |
| subz3r0 | zastovisee: yes it could be the driver, too. but ive never seen such a misery before :) | 13:42 |
| Capprentice | cfhowlett, how to break it ? | 13:42 |
| subz3r0 | zastovisee: becuase you are connected and you got an ip of the dhcp-server. also signal strength is fine... routing is also fine etc.. | 13:42 |
| Capprentice | Its a pdf not a vide. | 13:42 |
| Capprentice | video | 13:42 |
| zastovisee | subz3r0: ahhahah so i can try to install newer ones just my only problem is do i have to unistall old | 13:43 |
| subz3r0 | Bauer1: is there a reason why you want to use the newest drivers for your gpu? | 13:43 |
| zastovisee | subz3r0: or just downaload new and "make install" | 13:43 |
| cfhowlett | Capprentice, lots of options in software center. | 13:43 |
| subz3r0 | zastovisee: again. Never change a running system. why you should change the wifi drivers if its working? i dont get it | 13:43 |
| Capprentice | cfhowlett, What option is there ? PDF Edit ? | 13:44 |
| Capprentice | that wont work well. | 13:44 |
| Bauer1 | subz3r0: well, currently I have different installation issues on wine for games, but generally newest drivers would give less bugs and better performance | 13:44 |
| Capprentice | Crashed many times. | 13:44 |
| dav | Pici: to answer my own question, I think it's: ubuntu-minimal + ubuntu-standard + xubuntu-desktop + ubuntu-restricted-addons + linux-generic + language-pack-en | 13:44 |
| dav | Pici: i.e. if you apt-mark manual these packages and apt-mark auto the rest, and apt-get autoremove, you pretty much go back to stock xubuntu | 13:45 |
| zastovisee | subz3r0: beacuse they are not working good | 13:45 |

| Bauer1 | thank you subz3r0, that is good guide for installing, but I already have nvidia-304 installed (nvidia-current pakcage), it doesnt explain how to switch to the newer beta version... but maybe its not such a good idea, on beta version of ubuntu.. | 13:59 |
| subz3r0 | Bauer1: its up to you. i would never use a beta on a stable system. but you can use this tutorial for installing the beta driver too | 14:00 |
| subz3r0 | should be the same way | 14:00 |

| Bauer1 | subz3r0: cant really be "careful" about it - it will either work, or not :P however he says this: apt-get install nvidia-current, but as I have said, this package only leads to 304 not 310... | 14:03 |
| subz3r0 | you have to download the source package | 14:04 |
| subz3r0 | and compile it by hand | 14:04 |

| Bauer1 | whoa, now this is a bit too much subz3r0 :) 4 yr old guide, and then having to recompile on every kernel update, I think I will wait for a package in this case :) but thanks! | 14:07 |
| subz3r0 | Bauer1: but whats with your statement? it will work or not? ;D | 14:08 |
| Bauer1 | lol yes, but sometimes it feels like its gonna be too reckless and will take hours to fix :) the potential gain is not worth the likely troubles for me right now :) | 14:09 |

| Justus | hi, got a problem here with pam_mysql and postfix smtp auth | 14:17 |
| Justus | pam_mysql requests user as username from the mysql db | 14:17 |
| Justus | instead of user@domain | 14:17 |
| Justus | while courier uses this correctly | 14:17 |
| Justus | I patched it by duplicating the account entries, thus making multiple usernames over multiple domains impossible | 14:18 |
| zastovise | hi | 14:18 |
| zastovise | i solved | 14:18 |
| zastovise | it i installed newest drivers from offical site | 14:19 |
| zastovise | subz3r0: alwies modyfiy working sistem | 14:19 |
| ssn | hi | 14:19 |
| Justus | but I can't shake the feeling I'm doing something wrong in either /etc/postfix/sasl/smtpd.conf or /etc/pam.d/smtp | 14:19 |
| ssn | since there seems to be no alternate install cd for ubuntu 13.04, how do i install it on a software raid? | 14:19 |
| zastovise | can somone just explain me what modeprob comand does | 14:19 |
| dr_willis | ssn: i think you use the net install or minimal cd. you may want to ask in #ubuntu+1 | 14:20 |
| Justus | man modprobe can ;) | 14:20 |
| dr_willis | zastovise: loads the module into the kernel | 14:20 |
| zastovise | ok thank you | 14:20 |
| zastovise | so evry dirver i install i load it into kernel | 14:20 |
| Justus | zastovise: it can also be used to remove modules | 14:21 |
| zastovise | Justus: i installd new drivers but dident remove old meybe it owerwrite but it works normal | 14:21 |
| zastovise | Justus: and does it load pernamat or i have to load it evry boot | 14:22 |
| dav | How does one explain this: (1) apt-mark auto mplayer -> OK. (2) apt-get -s autoremove -> doesn't remove mplayer. (3) apt-get -s remove mplayer -> would remove nothing other than mplayer (i.e. no deps) | 14:22 |
| Justus | sorry, wrong button ^^ | 14:23 |
| zastovise | Justus: does modprob work pernemant? or i heve to load evry time i boot | 14:24 |
| MonkeyDust | dav first apt-get purge, then apt-get autoremove | 14:25 |

| Justus | zastovise: You know, give a man a fish and he has something to eat for the day, teach him how to fish and he'll have something to eat for a lifetime | 14:28 |

| Herbertwest | genii-around with synaptic? | 14:29 |
| tgm4883 | Ibrahim, no | 14:29 |
| dav | MonkeyDust: well yes that would of course work. but what about all the other packages I don't need and I'm not aware of? My question is why is autoremove not doing its job? | 14:29 |
| MonkeyDust | Matheus http://www.ubuntu.com/download | 14:30 |
| Justus | Myrtti: if it's not the first result you'll get faster than typing the question in a chat I don't | 14:30 |
| tgm4883 | Ibrahim, it's kinda hard to enable hardware virtualization if your hardware doesn't support it ;) | 14:30 |
| Herbertwest | nope it's close from screen | 14:30 |
| MonkeyDust | dav it will, after you apt-get purged | 14:30 |
| Herbertwest | genii-around ^^ | 14:30 |
| Matheus | I already installed it, but i`m having lots of problems | 14:30 |
| Myrtti | Justus: https://wiki.ubuntu.com/IRC/SupportersGuide | 14:30 |
| dav | MonkeyDust: apt-get purge something else then? | 14:30 |
| MonkeyDust | Matheus then tell us how we can help | 14:30 |
| dav | MonkeyDust: that package is already cruft... | 14:31 |
| MonkeyDust | dav ok, now sudo apt-get remove to delete the debris | 14:31 |
| Justus | Myrtti: Noted. I guess it does make sense. | 14:31 |
| MonkeyDust | dav ok, now sudo apt-get autoremove to delete the debris <-- correction | 14:31 |
| dav | MonkeyDust: that package IS debris | 14:31 |
| Ibrahim | tgm4883, oh ok.. thanks for the info :) | 14:31 |
| Herbertwest | genii-around okok ty i'll see!! ty | 14:31 |
| dav | MonkeyDust: mplayer IS debris in this case | 14:31 |
| dav | MonkeyDust: since I marked at as automatically installed | 14:31 |
| MonkeyDust | dav sudo apt-get purge mplayer;sudo apt-get autoremove should do the job | 14:32 |
| genii-around | Herbertwest: When I search for fingerprint in the repositories, looks like fprintd is currently the main one being used. But of course your hardware needs to have a a driver which works first | 14:32 |
| Herbertwest | genii-around np ty :D | 14:32 |
| dav | MonkeyDust: mplayer is marked as automatically installed and nothing depends on mplayer. Why is autoremove not removing it? | 14:33 |
| Matheus | MonkeyDust ok, I tried installing ubuntu couple weeks ago, then I had an ubiquity problem, it seems like an installation problem, I send the problem to the launchpad, but I tried intalling it again and it worked. But it wasn`t alright cause the system kept freezing and crashing a lot, which is strange cause my friends told me a lot of people were using ubuntu cause it's a very stable system | 14:33 |
| dav | MonkeyDust: isn't autoremove removing all such packages? | 14:33 |
| MonkeyDust | dav no further advice | 14:33 |
| dav | MonkeyDust: thanks anyway. | 14:33 |
| Matheus | MonkeyDust after it freezing I tried reinstaling the system, I did two times, but it kept the problems, the third time I tried it it wouldn`t install, had the problems with ubiquity again | 14:35 |
| MonkeyDust | dav try this line, but it's more thorough, removes ALL debris dpkg -l | awk '/^rc/{print $2}' | sudo xargs dpkg -P | 14:35 |
| Matheus | MonkeyDust after a lot of time, I have sent the report to launchpad, I received an email, telling that due to the logs, the person thought it could be a problem of faulty memory | 14:36 |
| dav | MonkeyDust: those are packages that have config files but aren't installed. My pkg is fully installed.. | 14:37 |
| Matheus | MonkeyDust so a friend of mine told me to try running lubuntu which is lighter, so I tried, but it won`t start | 14:37 |
| Matheus | MonkeyDust theres a problem with kernel panic | 14:38 |
| dav | MonkeyDust: does autoremove not remove all pkgs marked as automatically installed which aren't depended on by another manually installed package? | 14:38 |
| MonkeyDust | dav maybe the people in #bash have a script to do what you want | 14:38 |
| dav | MonkeyDust: I just want to understand what autoremove does. | 14:38 |

| Matheus | <MonkeyDust> sorry I don`t know what to do rightly I`m quite a noob, I`d like to know if my problem is really the RAM memory, cause I`m having too much problems with the OS | 14:41 |

| BAMbanda | MonkeyDust: I just switched and am only able to ping inside mysubnet, but still not outside. I can't read google.com | 14:46 |
| MonkeyDust | BAMbanda can you ping outside? if yes, it's a DNS issue | 14:47 |

| tadcrazio | Actually, no | 15:01 |
| tadcrazio | and as I'm reading this i'm seeing maybe adblock is the culprit | 15:02 |

| she_dyed | Atlantic777: look at the screenies and it looks quite close | 15:53 |
| stork91-U | BluesKaj: what irc client do you recommend? | 15:53 |
| danie628 | hi | 15:53 |
| tgm4883 | dreinull, it's not whatever the default key combo is for @ on a german keyboard? | 15:53 |
| MonkeyDust | !irc | 15:54 |
| ubottu | A list of official Ubuntu IRC channels, as well as IRC clients for Ubuntu, can be found at https://help.ubuntu.com/community/InternetRelayChat - For a general list of !freenode channels, see http://freenode.net/faq.shtml#channellist - See also !Guidelines | 15:54 |
| dreinull | tgm4883: no, apparently not. First they forced my to install Java now this. I lost an hour to that crap. | 15:54 |
| BluesKaj | stork91-U, you seem to have a network problem , not an irc client problem , and if you're on a WAN , then check with the admins about irc permission on your network | 15:54 |
| stork91-U | MonkeyDust: thanks for giving me a generic list instead of a recommendation? | 15:54 |
| she_dyed | dreinull use mouseL to highlight copy | 15:55 |
| she_dyed | dreinull: use mouseR to paste | 15:55 |
| she_dyed | dreinull: just eh @ | 15:55 |
| stork91-U | BluesKaj:, there seems to be no issue with IRC in windows7 | 15:55 |
| tgm4883 | stork91-U, that still sounds kinda fishy to me, I use xchat just fine | 15:55 |
| dreinull | she_dyed: that JavaScript won't let me. Disabling JS won't let me continue. | 15:55 |
| MonkeyDust | stork91-U you can choose the client you like most, irssi, weechat and xchat are the most popular | 15:56 |
| dreinull | I could kill that developer | 15:56 |
| irv | how can i get a recursive listing of all subdirectories beneath a certain one and how much space is used by each (with the parents totalling the children) | 15:57 |
| dreinull | Thank you, tgm4883, she_dyed English layout did the trick! | 15:57 |
| stork91-U | BluesKaj:, trying another client now... | 15:57 |
| she_dyed | dreinull: nice | 15:57 |
| dreinull | hehe: It wasn't possible to create a client data record for the entered data. Please check your entries. | 15:57 |
| dreinull | This is a joke | 15:57 |
| she_dyed | dreinull: maybe the other fields have unneeded symbols? | 15:58 |

| she_dyed | yes | 16:00 |

| stork91-U | BluesKaj: while pinging google.com from the terminal, I tested my ping while recieving a message from irc in xchat... it spikes about 2-300ms | 16:01 |
| stork91-U | BluesKaj: at the time of the disconnect from esper.net just now, I had a ping of 700+ms | 16:02 |
| she_dyed | stork91-U: would check the router UPnP i think has to be set up to allow not just http, ftp but also irc. Not 100% but you have to be router admin | 16:03 |
| kgadek | hi. I've got a problem with my Samsung NP300E5A notebook -- I can't enter BIOS. Actually I spotted the problem when I messed my grub config and tried to boot from Live USB. I have dual boot Ubuntu 12.04 & Windows 7. | 16:03 |
| kgadek | Now after I press F2 there's "please wait" and... broken grub loads, shows "error" and boots into windows | 16:03 |
| stork91-U | she_dyed: im in my router now. | 16:03 |
| TheHackOps | kgadek, Any specific errors | 16:04 |
| Atlantic777 | Is it ok to use swap file instead of swap partition on a system which may use hibernation? | 16:04 |
| she_dyed | kgadek: sometimes you have to be ninja fast unless its one a them UEFI thingamabobs | 16:04 |
| tgm4883 | she_dyed, if it periodically doesn't work for a few seconds, why would upnp be to blame? (not to mention, it's probably a home router which shouldn't be blocking outgoing traffic) | 16:04 |
| kgadek | TheHackOps: error: no video mode activated | 16:04 |
| stork91-U | she_dyed: I do not see a UPnP setting... but I will look more | 16:04 |
| kgadek | but I got the same problem earlier so | 16:04 |
| fishguy | hi! how can I restore saved ipsets at boot time before iptables are started? | 16:04 |
| kgadek | well, think this is not an issue | 16:04 |
| TheHackOps | Atlantic777, Well your swap file may become corrupt... | 16:04 |
| she_dyed | tgm4883: i recall i had to read the manual for that in those days | 16:04 |
| Atlantic777 | TheHackOps: and that happens more often than corrupted swap partition? | 16:05 |
| TheHackOps | kgadek, Seems to be a bug logged in launchpad | 16:05 |
| tgm4883 | it's probably a driver issue, anyone find out what NIC he has? | 16:05 |
| dav | MonkeyDust: FYI, the issue was that autoremove does not remove packages that are recommended by some other installed package. | 16:05 |

| Atlantic777 | stork91_U: don't use dmz except you really know what you are doing. | 16:20 |
| JR1 | i have problems with the serial port | 16:21 |
| JR1 | how can i test this port | 16:21 |
| tgm4883 | Atlantic777, misnomer, if you really know what you are doing, you wouldn't use a home routers DMZ | 16:21 |
| JR1 | how can i test the serial port? | 16:21 |
| JR1 | or test? | 16:21 |
| Atlantic777 | tgm4883: +1 for that :) | 16:21 |
| BluesKaj | stork91_U, hope you didn't have the dmz option turned on | 16:21 |
| stork91_U | tgm4883, Atlantic777, as I recall, I set it because I was running something that required me to have access though a firewall, but I wasnt behind one... so I set it to that to test and then forgot to turn if off... DOH! | 16:22 |
| Atlantic777 | JR1: try to connect to it with minicom | 16:22 |
| JR1 | o yeah | 16:22 |
| JR1 | i try it | 16:22 |
| JR1 | but no works | 16:22 |
| tgm4883 | stork91_U, well you were behind a firewall (the router likely has one built in) | 16:22 |
| Atlantic777 | stork91_U: you use port forwarding and NAT in such situations. | 16:22 |
| Atlantic777 | JR1: what do you try to connect to a serial port? | 16:22 |
| JR1 | i try to connect a UPS system | 16:23 |
| Atlantic777 | JR1: mustek? :) | 16:23 |
| stork91_U | tgm4883, yeah... | 16:23 |
| JR1 | no | 16:24 |
| BluesKaj | stork91_U, odd that setting affects linux and not windows | 16:24 |
| stork91_U | Thanks EVERYONE! Your inability to help me motivated me to keep at it | 16:24 |
| chro | After firefox and chrome/chromium, which web browser would be a good option to use for ubuntu (and available from the main repositories)= | 16:24 |
| chro | ? | 16:24 |
| stork91_U | BluesKaj, when I set it to the Ubuntu machine, it knocked out windows | 16:24 |
| Atlantic777 | JR1: nevermind... | 16:25 |
| stork91_U | BluesKaj, that is how I knew it was DMZ causing it. | 16:25 |
| JR1 | i try connect the ups with the software called UPSilon | 16:25 |
| Atlantic777 | JR1: you use nut? | 16:25 |
| stork91_U | BluesKaj, actually, when I had it set to the ubuntu machine, the windows machine was locked down even more. It couldnt send messages. | 16:25 |
| JR1 | i have a serial cable | 16:25 |
| JR1 | rs232 | 16:25 |
| JR1 | on windows works | 16:25 |
| Atlantic777 | JR1: that's ok but you need some application to start communication with the UPS. | 16:26 |
| JR1 | but on linux doesn't works | 16:26 |
| JR1 | right | 16:26 |
| JR1 | i have the application | 16:26 |
| Atlantic777 | JR1: take a look at netwoork UPS tools (nut) | 16:26 |

| Lou_ | Does anyone know how to disable GPU rendering and switch to software rendering in an internet browser? | 16:31 |
| Atlantic777 | JR1: the port probably works, you can test serial communication with a null modem and simple echo but i can bet that port works fine. | 16:32 |
| Lou_ | how do you enable/disable GPU rendering in Ubuntu? | 16:34 |
| BluesKaj | Lou_, so you want cpu rendering rather than gpu , I tjhink the raster setting does that on onboard graphics | 16:34 |

| Charcoalcat | OerHeks: Okay! | 16:37 |
| JR1 | thanks Atlantic777 | 16:38 |
| she_dyed | MikeH: the log would point out what HW was detected in place of the network device expected by the install, can't you use the buntu disc you used | 16:38 |
| Atlantic777 | JR1: actually, there's something similar to usbmon for serial port. | 16:38 |
| OerHeks | BluesKaj, i think software rendering cannot be combined with GPU rendering, or GPU driver or Nouveau? | 16:38 |
| Charcoalcat | I think I solved the problem of accidentally sending windows to other workspaces by setting the workspace count to 1 in MyUnity (and then restarting the computer). Now there aren't any workspaces to switch to, and the icon is gone, so it shouldn't happen again. | 16:38 |
| Lou_ | in windows internet explorer, you would go to "internet options" and click "enable software rendering" | 16:38 |

| OerHeks | WHAT_UP1, you are the only one who does not like it, you can change it if you like | 16:53 |

| WHAT_UP1 | i don't know anyone in person who actually likes unity | 16:53 |

| MonkeyDust | WHAT_UP1 ok, message taken, let's move on | 16:54 |
| WHAT_UP1 | i think cinammon's awful, but that's beside the point | 16:54 |
| pianogmx | sudo apt-get install gnome (and have fun) | 16:54 |
| WHAT_UP1 | i'm asking for the reasoning | 16:54 |
| pianogmx | WHAT_UP1, there is none... just install something and have fun | 16:54 |
| MonkeyDust | WHAT_UP1 ask in #ubuntu-offtopic | 16:54 |

| J-Escobar | wilee-nilee, HD's are cheap and I don't really have an issue with buying one. On a worst case scenario I don't mind losing my downloads folder. I am estimating my OS and programs to be around 8gb. I would like to back that up from time to time when I make changes to it. Then if the hard drive crashes I could take that 8gb file and restore to a new hard drive and boot back up. Or if I decide to migrate to a new server, I could | 16:55 |

| tgm4883 | pianogmx, hmm, not sure. I believe someone was having a similiar issue yesterday | 16:56 |
| tgm4883 | pianogmx, IIRC, they fixed it by using one of the xorg repos | 16:56 |

| sanav | Software : VMware workstation (windows) , Apache2(ubuntu) .Guest OS : ubuntu 10.04 Host OS : windows 8 .I want to access my apache /var/www/index.html from my external IP address .I started apache2 service .I can access localhost but not from external IP . | 17:00 |
| tgm4883 | sanav, when you say "external IP" are you talking your private IP or public IP? | 17:01 |
| sanav | tgm4883: yes | 17:02 |
| llutz | sanav: change /etc/apache2/ports.conf "Listen..." if "sudo lsof -i :80" doesn't show apache listening on all adresses | 17:02 |
| tgm4883 | sanav, that wasn't a yes or no question | 17:02 |
| tgm4883 | llutz, that seems like jumping to conclusions | 17:03 |
| JR1 | i see this message on the application when i try to connect to the UPS | 17:03 |
| JR1 | "Make sure no other process uses the same serial port" | 17:03 |
| tgm4883 | llutz, isn't it far more likely a firewall issue than apache isn't listening on the default web port? | 17:03 |
| JR1 | Atlantic777, what does means? | 17:04 |
| sanav | tgm4883: External IP is secondary name for Public IP .huhh !!! leave it | 17:05 |
| JR1 | message:"Make sure no other process uses the same serial port" | 17:05 |
| llutz | tgm4883: if you think so (i won't because there is no default "firewall" active on ubuntu) | 17:05 |
| tgm4883 | sanav, awesome......... so you probably need to open/forward a port on your router | 17:06 |
| SliderX | hello , i think i need a big help , i have a program called UCLSYN i download it but it seems that i have a problem with installing it | 17:06 |
| tgm4883 | llutz, true, which is why I asked which IP he was talking about, since most people dealing with apache want it publically available (eg. the internet). Meaning his router is getting in the way | 17:06 |
| squisher | Hi, can anyone tell me if ubuntu server also uses network manager? Or if not, what script does the net config? | 17:07 |
| llutz | squisher: /etc/network/interfaces | 17:07 |
| wilee-nilee | !UCLSYN | 17:07 |
| Atlantic777 | JR1: it means that if application asks you to choose port you should choose ttyS0 or /dev/ttyS0 | 17:07 |
| SliderX | yeah it a program used for my unversity | 17:08 |
| squisher | llutz, that's the configuration file, but what script acts on it? | 17:08 |
| llutz | squisher: /etc/init.d/networking (ifupdown) | 17:09 |
| squisher | like, what program is actually reading that file? and I'm not talking about ifup/down :) | 17:09 |
| wilee-nilee | SliderX, What is UCLSYN gotta a link? | 17:09 |
| squisher | llutz, on my desktop install all /etc/init.d/networking does is start some "upstart job" | 17:09 |
| SliderX | yes i have a link , ftp://ftp.astro.keele.ac.uk/pub/bs/uclsyn.tar.gz | 17:10 |
| JR1 | ok | 17:10 |
| JR1 | i'll try it | 17:10 |
| squisher | /lib/init/upstart-job networking start # where do I find what that does | 17:10 |
| wilee-nilee | !details | SliderX No one will download that randomly | 17:11 |
| ubottu | SliderX No one will download that randomly: Please give us full details. For example: "I have a problem with ..., I'm running Ubuntu version .... When I try to do ..., I get the following output: ..., but I expected it to do ..." | 17:11 |
| tgm4883 | squisher, are you on 13.04? | 17:11 |
| squisher | tgm4883, 12.04 | 17:12 |
| SliderX | ok i am using Ubuntu 12.04 LTS , when i download this program it says that you should have tsch shell , if it bash shell you will change the code , i dont have information about this | 17:13 |
| tgm4883 | squisher, I find that hard to believe, since the networking scripts weren't converted to an upstart job in 12.04 | 17:13 |
| squisher | tgm4883, precise -- isn't that 12.04? | 17:14 |
| tgm4883 | yes | 17:14 |
| SliderX | i can send you in private the instructions that i recieved from my doctor , maybe you can help | 17:15 |
| tgm4883 | squisher, in any case, the message you recieved means it was converted to an upstart job, and was notifying you that you should now use "sudo service networking <command>" | 17:15 |
| wilee-nilee | SliderX, http://www.astro.keele.ac.uk/~bs/publs/uclsyn.pdf | 17:15 |
| squisher | tgm4883, i'm not trying to restart it, I'm trying to find out what it actually does | 17:16 |
| wilee-nilee | that is about all I can do as far as helping, good luck. SliderX | 17:16 |

| cdk | Hello! | 17:23 |
| captine | hi brian_ .. How i miss Johannesburg. | 17:24 |
| rystic | so, i'm pretty confused as to why my ACLs aren't working the way i expect them to | 17:24 |
| rystic | i set some defaults, but new files i create don't get the ACLs i expect | 17:24 |
| cdk | hey i have a quick question, can anyone help m,e? | 17:24 |
| d1gital | My USB device is being automatically removed after a seemingly-random interval... I compiled with CONFIG_USB_SUSPEND disabled, and there is no /power interface in the device's sysfs. What circumstance could lead to the sudden removal of my device? | 17:24 |
| dhci | anyone here proficient with ion3 or notion window managers? I don't really see a sample for how to from a single script tile and split windows and launch programs in them. | 17:24 |
| lotuspsychje | !ask | cdk | 17:24 |
| ubottu | cdk: 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 | 17:24 |
| cdk | panic!atthedisco | 17:25 |
| dhci | do you think it isn't really a window manager but more like a programmable windowing environment at that point, perhaps that's why it's not even possible? | 17:25 |
| d1gital | I can emulate the behaviour with "echo 1 > /sys/bus/usb/devices/1-1/remove" | 17:25 |
| rystic | i've set the default ACL for the group to: group::r-x | 17:25 |
| rystic | but when i do touch test | 17:25 |
| rystic | i see group::r-x #effective:r-- | 17:26 |
| brian_ | Hey guys, I am currently running 12.04 LTS (32-bit) and am considering upgrading to 12.10 (64-bit). Anybody with experience regarding this idea. Good or not. | 17:26 |
| rystic | i understand that #effective has to do with the blending of the posix permissions and the ACL, and that it also has something to do with the default mask | 17:26 |
| peterCN | hello where am i | 17:27 |
| rystic | but after reading and re-reading the man pages and googling around a bunch, i still don't understand how to fix it | 17:27 |
| SonikkuAmerica | brian_: Well, you'll need to get a 12.10 amd64 live image, back up your /home folder and do a fresh install. | 17:27 |
| peterCN | tell me | 17:27 |
| SonikkuAmerica | !where | 17:27 |

| madprops | everybody upload screenshots of your desktop here http://muhfreedom.com/linux | 17:28 |
| elijah | Do all the upgrade scripts for 12.10 run if I go from 12.04 to 13.04 stable (when it is out)? | 17:29 |
| brian_ | SonikkuAmerica: Done all that. What is your recommendation on the upgrade. I got this Intel Core i7-3770 @ 3.40GHz x 8 with 16GiB memory. | 17:30 |
| elijah | Is it recommended to upgrade from 12.04 => 13.04, skipping 12.10? | 17:30 |
| SonikkuAmerica | elijah: The upgrade process is from 12.04 > 12.10 > 13.04. | 17:30 |

| lotuspsychje_ | elijah: i would clean install | 17:30 |
| elijah | SonikkuAmerica: So, I probably won't see an option to upgrade to 13.04 until I upgrade to 12.10? | 17:30 |
| SonikkuAmerica | elijah: Look at what lotuspsychje_ said. | 17:30 |
| elijah | lotuspsychje_: Yeah, I normally would want to do that but I use this for dev work and don't really have the time to setup a new environment right now. | 17:31 |
| d1gital | she_dyed: I needed a small kernel. ;-) | 17:31 |
| lotuspsychje_ | elijah: a clean install will make life easy | 17:31 |
| elijah | Maybe I will just wait until next LTS | 17:31 |
| SonikkuAmerica | brian_: Yeah, you'll want to upgrade, but there is no way to change your architecture... otherwise I don't get what you're trying to sya. | 17:31 |
| SonikkuAmerica | *say. | 17:31 |
| elijah | Or maybe I will get an identical computer to install 13.10 on and then sync it, would be good to have a backup anyways. | 17:32 |
| SonikkuAmerica | !13.10 | 17:32 |
| SonikkuAmerica | does not exist. (yet.) | 17:32 |

| jakesahir | i have ubuntu 12.10 installed and inside virtualbox i am running backtrack linux.in my ubuntu internet is working but in bt5 virtualbox internet is not working plz give solution guys | 17:32 |
| she_dyed | d1gital: buntu must have their stock config settings saved, did your recompile include their config settings | 17:33 |
| lotuspsychje_ | jakesahir: go to #backtrack-linux | 17:33 |
| wilee-nilee | !backtrack > jakesahir | 17:33 |
| ubottu | jakesahir, please see my private message | 17:33 |
| wilee-nilee | jakesahir, try #vbox | 17:34 |
| lotuspsychje_ | jakesahir:might be your network card driver not loaded on bt | 17:34 |
| brian_ | SonikkuAmerica: Does that mean I will have to re-install everything from scratch? Then restore my home folder and be good to go? | 17:34 |
| SonikkuAmerica | brian_: Yes, but unless everything you installed is from PPAs, it's just a matter is [ sudo apt-get install whatever ] | 17:34 |
| SonikkuAmerica | brian_: Or from source, I should add | 17:34 |
| brian_ | SonikkuAmerica: Ah - Ok - got the picture. Thx for the advise. Appreciated. | 17:35 |
| SonikkuAmerica | *a matter OF, not a matter is | 17:36 |

| SonikkuAmerica | brian_: So why would you unplug it? The Ubuntu installer lets you select which hard drive you want to install Ubuntu to. | 17:42 |
| SonikkuAmerica | Question: Is it advisable to set up LVM? If so, is there a preference as to what kind(s) of hardware it should be used on? | 17:42 |
| brian_ | SonikkuAmerica: Oops sorry. Didn't answer all. I have 3 drives. 1 for Ubuntu; 1 for Windoze; 1 for backups and data/docs etc. | 17:43 |
| brian_ | SonikkuAmerica: Will my Windoze drive and relating partitions be safe. I cannot afford to loose that. | 17:44 |
| SonikkuAmerica | brian_: If you select the correct HDD at setup, yes. | 17:44 |
| SonikkuAmerica | brian_: In your case, the one with Ubuntu on it. | 17:44 |
| {mikey} | brian_, I've missed this conversation mostly, but if I want to make sure not to select a drive I will sometimes unplug it | 17:45 |
| brian_ | SonikkuAmerica: That's cool. Answer to the other question - re: GRUB on the Windoze drive. Not sure, but I don't think so. How will I know. It does not show in the file system while running Ubuntu. | 17:46 |
| brian_ | {mikey}: That sounds safe to me. Me being a novice could slip and create my own disaster. | 17:47 |
| {mikey} | brian_, sounds like your setup is suitable so why not, eh? | 17:48 |
| {mikey} | :) | 17:48 |
| SonikkuAmerica | brian_: use [ sudo file -s /dev/sdX ] to figure that out. If "GRand Unified Bootloader" shows up anywhere, that's where it is. | 17:48 |

| brian_ | SonikkuAmerica: Ran this command on all sda ; sdb ; sdc and does not show on either. But if I use the BIOS boot (F12) then I get the GRUB screen. Select the first line or just wait for a few seconds and Ubuntu loads. I'm a little confused now. | 17:53 |

| tgm4883 | Hammerhead2011-S, a few things, currently I'm running Kubuntu 13.04 (due to an issue I had with 13.04 ubuntu), but I currently have screenshots in my pictures folder from when I ran 12.04 Ubuntu that include me being logged into windows boxes with remmina | 18:00 |
| she_dyed | ok an0n | 18:00 |
| SonikkuAmerica | pc, you might trying pasting what you did in http://paste.ubuntu.com/ or just giving us a link (if it's on the Web) | 18:00 |
| trism | Hammerhead2011-S: can' | 18:01 |
| pc | ok I'll try | 18:01 |
| trism | Hammerhead2011-S: sorry, can't seem to reproduce it here with just remmina, which ubuntu version? | 18:01 |
| an0n | wN: There option when installing Ubuntu 12.04.2 for encryption? | 18:01 |
| wN | an0n: uncertain. | 18:01 |
| an0n | she_dyed: There option when installing Ubuntu 12.04.2 for encryption? | 18:01 |
| wilee-nilee | afief, you need to fix "214 not fully installed or removed" | 18:01 |
| afief | genii-around: Didn't work, this is the output I got http://pastebin.com/80fDrM9f | 18:01 |
| she_dyed | ok an0n lvm and encryption is recipe for disaster | 18:02 |
| Hammerhead2011-S | <trism> I have to minimize the remmina window or I get the above error. Somthing is not right..... | 18:02 |
| Hammerhead2011-S | I'm running 12.04 as well | 18:02 |
| an0n | she_dyed: Why? | 18:02 |
| genii-around | afief: sudo apt-get -f install | 18:02 |
| afief | wilee-nilee: Well it was part of a bigger install (restricted extras, firefox, kdeedu, vlc) so when firefox failed everything else was left unconfigured | 18:03 |
| tgm4883 | Hammerhead2011-S, what is the error message? | 18:03 |
| tgm4883 | Hammerhead2011-S, what above error? | 18:03 |
| she_dyed | an0n: simple things like resizing need a certain level of expertise, add encryption and we might as well be advanced elvel | 18:03 |
| she_dyed | level | 18:03 |
| trism | Hammerhead2011-S: oh I'm testing on 12.10, let me try on 12.04 | 18:03 |
| afief | genii-around: wow that worked, does that the dpkg -i actually worked even though it displayed an error? | 18:03 |
| genii-around | afief: Yes | 18:03 |
| Hammerhead2011-S | "Unable to capture a screen shot" " all possible methinds have failed" "OK" | 18:04 |
| brian_ | SonikkuAmerica: I'm gonna sign off and give it a try. | 18:04 |
| pc | I logged into paste.ubuntu.com and pasted info - what do I do next? | 18:04 |
| tgm4883 | Hammerhead2011-S, do you use remmina full screen? | 18:04 |
| SonikkuAmerica | brian_: k | 18:05 |
| an0n | she_dyed: Yes, I would like to use encryption on the partitions. This option exists in the installation of ubuntu 12.04.2? | 18:05 |
| Hammerhead2011-S | <tgm4883>No it's partial, I do have a second display via USB adapter...wondering if that might be the cause of all this... | 18:05 |
| she_dyed | SonikkuAmerica: brian_ may have the Win drive unplugged while installing | 18:05 |
| brian_ | {mikey}: Will use your advise to be safe and disconnect the Windoze drive till I'm done. If I don't see you guys later here I'll see you all again soon. Thx for all - Much appreciated. | 18:06 |

| she_dyed | SonikkuAmerica: hope he was told to do otherwise | 18:08 |

| SonikkuAmerica | He said he'd try {mikey} | 18:09 |
| SonikkuAmerica | 's suggestion | 18:09 |
| she_dyed | pc someone IS helping | 18:09 |
| she_dyed | you're not following what he requests of you | 18:09 |
| an0n | she_dyed: I prefer to define clearly the size of the root partition and use encryption. I'm thinking somewhere around 10 gb for /. But if you use a vm that size may be small right? | 18:09 |
| genii-around | nabblet: For that I think I would use trickle instead ... then you go like: trickle -u## -d## skype where ## is upload and download speeds respectively you want to set for that app | 18:10 |
| she_dyed | an0n Lvm or vm? Isa w apage using that size as an example | 18:10 |
| SonikkuAmerica | pc: You pasted the information into the Ubuntu pastebin. Now copy the text in the address bar when the pastebin generates, and paste those contents here. | 18:10 |
| an0n | she_dyed: virtual machine | 18:11 |
| she_dyed | ah ok ignore me then | 18:11 |

| nabblet | genii-around: nice! do you also know something about wondershaper | 18:12 |
| nabblet | genii-around: seeems to be pretty much the same thing | 18:12 |
| genii-around | nabblet: I don't know much about wondershaper, sorry. We use another thing at work here called tc | 18:13 |
| nabblet | genii-around: i think i will give one of them a shot - guess you're right. a full firewall is a bit too much for my needs | 18:13 |
| an0n | she_dyed: You think 10 gb partition for / on ubuntu 12.04.2 little to use a virtual machine? | 18:13 |
| pc | I followd documenation for filesharing with no luck | 18:14 |
| dimi1982 | i am having trouble installing ubuntu i get the langue screen but then the screen freezes is it possible that i have to disable something in the bios? | 18:14 |
| nabblet | genii-around: thank you for your input | 18:14 |
| wilee-nilee | dimi1982, Have you checked the disc or ISO's md5sum? | 18:16 |
| nabblet | genii-around: looks like wondershaper is a bit more sofisicated in its mechanics (not in usage) compared to trickle | 18:16 |
| she_dyed | an0n i would use 10G too | 18:16 |

| cuddylier | Hi | 18:24 |
| cuddylier | Is there a way to view the console output of a currently running cron job? | 18:24 |
| wilee-nilee | dusxmt, Did you reboot or restart with sudo sysctl -p | 18:24 |
| MonkeyDust | cuddylier guess it depends on the job | 18:24 |
| cuddylier | MonkeyDust It was a command to run a script | 18:24 |
| cuddylier | Which prints things to the console if I was to run it in a screen | 18:25 |
| MonkeyDust | cuddylier and what command and what script? | 18:25 |
| dusxmt | wilee-nilee: No, but I rebooted my computer several times already. | 18:25 |
| mac | thank u, that worked!! | 18:25 |
| cuddylier | The script is a backup script | 18:25 |
| wilee-nilee | dusxmt, Did you add the vm = 0 to gksudo gedit /etc/sysctl.conf | 18:25 |
| cuddylier | Copying folders to a seperate hard drive, MonkeyDust | 18:25 |
| dusxmt | lol, gedit | 18:25 |
| MonkeyDust | cuddylier there's watch, but what does the script look like? | 18:26 |
| wilee-nilee | dusxmt, sorry vm.swappiness lol all you want you are the one asking for help. | 18:26 |
| dusxmt | wilee-nilee: I've added vm.swappiness = 0, do I need to just do vm = 0? | 18:26 |
| dusxmt | wilee-nilee: Ok, yes | 18:26 |
| cuddylier | MonkeyDust It just does things just cd to a directory and then issues commands to copy the folders in that directory over to a different directory then once done it zips the folders | 18:27 |
| MonkeyDust | cuddylier are you using rsync to the copying? | 18:27 |
| cuddylier | When running in a screen before it would show what it was copying at that moment in time | 18:27 |
| cuddylier | MonkeyDust let me check | 18:28 |
| apn | dusxmt: how did you verify your swappiness? How did you check your ram usage? | 18:28 |
| MonkeyDust | cuddylier better use pastebin to show us the script | 18:28 |
| dusxmt | apn: Vertify: `cat /proc/sys/vm/swappiness`, returns 0, I vertify ram usage with a built-in ram monitor in fbpanel (A panel program I use in openbox) | 18:29 |
| cuddylier | MonkeyDust http://pastebin.com/iFGYvXjm | 18:30 |
| MonkeyDust | cuddylier better ask in #bash, they are more skilled | 18:31 |
| apn | dusxmt: how did you verify how much swap are you using? | 18:32 |
| dusxmt | apn: It says in the ram monitor, currently there's 23 megs. The reason I want it to swap only when it is critical is because this is an SSD drive, and too many writed could kill it. | 18:33 |
| nabblet | apn: you could for example check the usage of your swap partition | 18:33 |

| luk3shi | hi | 18:37 |
| apn | dusxmt: the only explanation for it is that some application is pushing for cache in swap space. Firefox used to be guilty of it, as well as some other apps. Can you close all applications of this kind and check again? | 18:38 |
| cuddylier | Also, is 19 the lowest priority? | 18:38 |
| luk3shi | anybody seen Guake Terminal? cool as heck. | 18:38 |

| nickles | Hi, is anyone here familiar with GitLab and Apache? | 19:09 |
| wilee-nilee | nickles, The channel works with you stating the problem. | 19:09 |

| nickles | Okay, sorry | 19:10 |
| alperkanat | hello.. i install precise64 using vagrant then i update it.. however grub gets updated and it stucks at grub menu needing input.. how can i prevent grub from doing this? | 19:10 |

| nickles | I am trying to run a GitLab instance with Apache on Ubuntu 12.04. I had everything configured properly and was able to access the site remotely (on port 8080). When I attempted to access it this morning, the site was down with no apparent configuration changes. What are some things that I should trouble shoot? | 19:11 |
| nickles | wilee-nilee: this is why I love open source communities | 19:12 |

| dimi1982 | i downloaded new checked the md5sum it matches but the screen still freezes anything els i can do to fix it? | 19:12 |
| Rallias | nickles, Did you restart apache? | 19:12 |
| mac | jdk jre? | 19:12 |
| nickles | Rallias: I've restarted apache and gitlab. I've also rebooted the server once and started everything from scratch | 19:13 |

| Rallias | nickles, Did you try the recommend configuration by gitlab which involves nginx instead of apache? | 19:14 |
| mac | apn.. i am now on that side.. what i need? JRE? JDK? | 19:14 |
| apn | mac: I would go with JDK. It comes useful for more purposes. It takes more space as well. | 19:14 |
| mac | OK | 19:15 |

| ui_ | Hi, I've come to know that the default user is in the sudo group, and that a sudoer being compromised implies the system could be compromised. I'm looking for more info, could you point me to any discussions about this decision? | 19:19 |
| grogoreo | hi | 19:20 |
| apn | ui_: is your sudoers file has been compromised your system had to be compromised. | 19:20 |
| ui_ | apn: I mean "a sudoer user" | 19:21 |

| wilee-nilee | !fsck | aladilas | 19:52 |
| ubottu | aladilas: fsck is the FileSystem ChecKer, which runs automatically when you boot if you didn't shutdown cleanly. Type "man fsck" for information on running it manually. The command "sudo touch /forcefsck && sudo shutdown -r now" will force a reboot and a filesystem check; "sudo touch /fastboot" will skip a filesystem check at next reboot | 19:52 |

| alainus | wilee-nilee, I did that command, and rebooted, but I didn't see anything being done, and the reboot didn't take any longer than usual. Is fsck really fast? | 20:01 |
| mnk | she_dyed, hmm - but i don't think it's made a difference. same problem as before | 20:01 |
| she_dyed | mnk it won't work if it was broken before, so it may have done nothing | 20:02 |

| nickles | (for the root partition) | 20:05 |
| Guest77817 | why go ?~ ubuntu | 20:05 |
| mnk | nickles, yep - that's why it boots after all the errors in busybox finish and then i type exit | 20:05 |
| she_dyed | mnk so something is making it go to busybox and when you quit bb it proceeds to normal desktop | 20:05 |
| SolarisBoy | blackstar: afaik just set something else to use the command - you'll need to look up vim docs or hit up #vim for further info | 20:05 |

| she_dyed | reddeath68: have any autostart scripts, have you checked if there are .xsession-errors | 20:18 |
| blackstar | guys I'm not crazy, it happen, to save a file I know is :wq! as u mention previously, this happen at on a production server a mis typo :;wq! delete the lines below, Please notice i'm using colomm infron of the simcolom | 20:18 |
| bekks | Atheroma: btw: what wrong with 15dBm? | 20:19 |
| rts | hello world from laptop | 20:19 |
| SolarisBoy | yea i actually can't confirm ';' does anything but delimt things in vim =( i'd go with bekks suggestion or update | 20:19 |
| SolarisBoy | @vim stuff | 20:19 |
| bekks | blackstar: ; repeats a command. So you deleted something before. | 20:19 |
| Atheroma | Yes, the wifi signal in my room is weak, but I could use it without problems on windows 7 | 20:19 |
| reddeath68 | There shouldnt be any auto start scripts unless an update installed them, as for checking for errors idk how to especially since im stuck with cmd line only | 20:19 |
| tocsick | hey all, the recent updates to oneric have somehow changed my scrolling. When I scroll with the mousewheel, the screen will scroll down, then jump up again, then scroll more, etc. Any suggestions on how to correct this? | 20:20 |
| puya | hi | 20:20 |
| she_dyed | reddeath68: less .xsession-errors | 20:20 |
| bekks | Atheroma: And you cant use it with 15dBm? | 20:20 |
| blackstar | beeks can that be disable ? | 20:20 |
| bekks | blackstar: You could remap ";". | 20:20 |
| she_dyed | blackstar: you do this often enough to need that blowtorch? | 20:21 |
| reddeath68 | less .xsession-error's? is that a command or something I am kinda new to ubuntu | 20:22 |
| Areckx | cp: cannot create regular file `/home/areckx/public_html/print2file.php': Permission denied | 20:22 |

| mac | messaging and voIP contacts.. i added xchat, faceass.. but cant connect to them... | 20:22 |
| blackstar | no I don't do it enough, but at my job we work on production server, and i will like a way to prevent this from happening | 20:22 |
| mac | any one have an idea? | 20:22 |
| she_dyed | reddeath68: less & more are commands to browse text | 20:22 |
| bekks | blackstar: Then look at the keyboard when typing :) | 20:22 |
| she_dyed | blackstar: or set vim to make backups | 20:23 |
| Atheroma | It appears that 15dBm are not enough to detect my router when I'm in my room | 20:23 |
| ntzrmtthihu777 | SolarisBoy: I think you may have put some of those comments at me in mistake, I have no connection issue. and you are likely correct, as I'm running irssi in screen so I can detach when needed. | 20:23 |
| Atheroma | I can't use my wireless with 15dBm inside my room, only when I move close to the router | 20:24 |
| reddeath68 | ok i ran less .xsession-error's and all I get is >and a blinking cursor | 20:24 |
| she_dyed | reddeath68: you can q to quit | 20:25 |
| she_dyed | to quit less | 20:25 |
| she_dyed | this is root, no? reddeath68 | 20:26 |
| blackstar | I seet vim to make backups, if someone is changing something at the top of the file, no one will notice what happen at the bottom of it, and unfortunately at m job we all use root account, the administrator seems lazy to prevent this | 20:26 |
| reddeath68 | yes in the root command consel via recovery consel | 20:26 |

| neoark | i mean /etc/udev/rules.d/70-persistent-net.rules | 20:27 |
| she_dyed | reddeath68: also try less /home/user/.xsession-errors change user to name of the user you would login to | 20:28 |
| she_dyed | or tries to login | 20:28 |
| she_dyed | hope you put an s in your first attempt | 20:28 |

| reddeath68 | is it possible to find what version of nvidia-current came out before the current one | 20:37 |
| Smashcat | Hi, anyone know if Ubuntu 12.10 can create RAID5 arrays with over 2TB per disk? Seems to be its limit here (just done an install with 4 x 3TB drives, and it's only managed to see 2TB per disk) | 20:37 |
| reddeath68 | I seemed to have less problems with that one | 20:38 |
| auronandace | pascerestart: depends on your wifi | 20:38 |
| OerHeks | pascerestart, some are included, some you need to activate with some small steps | 20:38 |
| Smashcat | (This is Ubuntu Server, btw, not desktop) | 20:38 |
| auronandace | pascerestart: some can't be distributed due to licensing | 20:38 |
| wilee-nilee | pascerestart, run laspci in the terminal and identify the wifi | 20:38 |
| pascerestart | OerHeks: ok how can i check beacuse if i install ubuntu | 20:38 |
| wilee-nilee | pascerestart, sorry lspci | 20:38 |
| OerHeks | pascerestart, easy, try ubuntu in live mode :-) | 20:39 |
| pascerestart | OerHeks: thenks i forgot | 20:39 |
| pascerestart | OerHeks: about thet | 20:39 |
| reddeath68 | my video card is a nvidia geforce 9400 gt so apprently finding well working drivers isn't easy | 20:39 |
| OerHeks | pascerestart, if it does not work, check the driver menu for a possible download, or come back here | 20:40 |
| paradigm_arsonis | I want to zero my hard disk. Is dd if=/dev/zero of=/dev/harddiskdevicename sensible? Might this cause excessive wear and tear -- should I specify a block size? | 20:40 |
| OerHeks | reddeath68, gforce 9400 needs the 173 driver, AFAIK | 20:40 |
| reddeath68 | ok let me try that one i think its the one i see in my list of available | 20:41 |
| OerHeks | https://help.ubuntu.com/community/BinaryDriverHowto/Nvidia | 20:42 |
| bekks | paradigm_arsonis: Yes, specify a block size as big as the cache of your drive. | 20:43 |
| paradigm_arsonis | bekks: thanks, this will reduce wear and tear? also, perhaps I'm asking the wrong question | 20:44 |
| Name141 | Does encrypting the home directory have any ill effects on preformance ? | 20:44 |
| SolarisBoy | Name141: not a huge one - | 20:45 |
| paradigm_arsonis | If you were scared that your system had been compromised and you wanted to make sure that not data remerged in new filesystems of new installations (which has happened to me before), what would you do to prevent that? | 20:45 |
| paradigm_arsonis | How much will this dd command age my hard drive? | 20:45 |
| Name141 | SolarisBoy: Ubuntu doesn't come with full hard drive encryption? | 20:45 |
| SolarisBoy | paradigm_arsonis: re-install | 20:45 |
| SolarisBoy | Name141: yes it does | 20:45 |
| SolarisBoy | Name141: LVM encryption that is - i think you can do standard drives but thats diff than whats in the installer (GUI) | 20:46 |
| bekks | paradigm_arsonis: Specifying a blocksize will inhibit zillions of write cycles for every 512 bytes - it will use one write cycle for the block. | 20:46 |
| paradigm_arsonis | SolarisBoy: that's what oi'm doing, i'd just like to wipe my hard disk out of caution | 20:46 |
| Name141 | SolarisBoy: Oh. Well if it was that important, like a laptop , I'd probably ask how.. but.. since it's nearly to package selection I wont bother. | 20:46 |
| paradigm_arsonis | right, so it really is worth doing. i guess i'll go and look upmy hard drive specs then. thanks. | 20:46 |
| reddeath68 | it seems to be working for now thank you | 20:49 |
| reddeath68 | hopefully i can go a few days without breaking it this time... | 20:49 |
| SolarisBoy | paradigm_arsonis: you can dd the drive first and write 0's to it or use a wiping utility before the reinstallation | 20:49 |
| bekks | paradigm_arsonis: Or just wipe the free space. | 20:50 |
| OerHeks | reddeath68, have fun | 20:50 |
| SolarisBoy | paradigm_arsonis: the HDD's actually have aging info that you'll need to reference to get an idea - | 20:50 |
| reddeath68 | thanks I will | 20:50 |

| viliny | simple and effective as far as i was concerned, unity just seemed to pander too much to the new gui innovations where we see windows 8 and mobile devices are taking us | 21:07 |
| viliny | is it possible to use gnome etc. on ubuntu without completely destroying the install? | 21:08 |
| OerHeks | !nounity | 21:08 |
| ubottu | Ubuntu 11.10 and higher use GNOME 3 with the !unity shell by default. To use GNOME Shell instead, from 12.10 an up install the "ubuntu-gnome-desktop" package. From 11.04 to 12.04, install the "gnome-shell" package and investigate "gnome-tweak-tool". For GNOME Fallback mode, which is similar to GNOME 2, install "gnome-panel". Both packages will place entries in the Sessions dropdown. Using Natty? See !classic | 21:08 |

| Betanu701 | I have an SD card that came from an android phone, it only opens readonly on the pc, I want to format it, how can I change it? | 21:18 |
| tgm4883 | Betanu701, is the card set to read only? | 21:19 |
| Betanu701 | No, I even taped it to make sure it wasn't | 21:19 |
| Takagami | taped it?? | 21:20 |
| tgm4883 | Betanu701, Is it readonly in the PC, or do you just not have permissions? | 21:20 |
| tgm4883 | Takagami, I'd imagine he's talking about the switch on the side of the card | 21:20 |
| Betanu701 | it is readonly, I have tried to change the permissions and the ownership | 21:20 |
| Betanu701 | And yes you are correct the switch | 21:21 |
| Takagami | I dunno... If I put tape on mine I doubt it would even fit in the slot anymore... | 21:21 |
| Takagami | Oh well... if it works right? | 21:21 |
| tgm4883 | Takagami, it would depend on the thickness of the tape | 21:21 |
| Betanu701 | a very thin piece does not effect it | 21:21 |
| Takagami | ok... ok... aaaaaanywaaaays... :-) | 21:22 |
| Betanu701 | I even tried switching the sd card reader. | 21:23 |
| tgm4883 | Betanu701, IDK why it would mount readonly, are you sure you put the switch in the right position? Any error messages in the logs? | 21:24 |
| eglefino_ | #ubuntu-nl--meeting | 21:25 |
| Betanu701 | Yes I am sure the switch is in the right direction, give me a sec i will post my dmesg | 21:25 |
| Betanu701 | http://paste.ubuntu.com/5702800/ | 21:28 |
| Takagami | You wanted to format it right? | 21:29 |
| Betanu701 | Yep | 21:29 |
| Takagami | And if you use Disk Manager or Gparted you cant? | 21:29 |
| Betanu701 | Exactly | 21:30 |
| Takagami | And it is not mounted when you try to modify or format it, correct? The fact that you posted a dmesg to past.ubuntu tells me you're not a newb... | 21:31 |
| Betanu701 | Correct, it is not mounted. | 21:31 |
| Takagami | Try running gparted as sudo from terminal? | 21:32 |

| paradigm_arsonis | Okay, this livecd is barely functioning from usb-cd drive, so I'm fialing to perform the simple task of finding the cache-size of my hard drive, which is embarrassing. | 21:44 |
| Betanu701 | Yea, need a new adapter | 21:45 |
| Daynga | I am having a problem connecting to open networks, which is weird because I can connect to a network with a password. Why is this? | 21:45 |
| Takagami | Good luck Betanu701... | 21:45 |
| paradigm_arsonis | Is "dd if=/dev/zero of=/dev/harddiskdevicename" going to do a lot of damage to my hard disk? | 21:45 |
| paradigm_arsonis | Not the data, the disk itself? | 21:46 |
| bekks | paradigm_arsonis: It is documented on the vendors site, all you need to know is the make and model which can be gathered by running sudo hdparm -i /dev/sdX | 21:46 |
| wilee-nilee | Daynga, open networks such as? | 21:46 |
| Daynga | wilee-nilee: networks without a password | 21:46 |
| RyanTG | paradigm: it will wipe that hard disk, but shouldn't damage it. | 21:46 |
| bekks | paradigm_arsonis: Depends on the disk. Not setting bs=<your disk cache size> will cause <your disk cache size>/512 times more write cycles than necessary. | 21:47 |
| wilee-nilee | Daynga, Are you sure have you tried one that is surely open? | 21:47 |
| wilee-nilee | like a coffee shop....etc | 21:47 |
| Betanu701 | Thanks | 21:47 |
| Daynga | wilee-nilee: I've tried starbucks, best buy, mcdonalds... | 21:47 |
| * genii-around hears something about coffee | 21:47 | |
| wilee-nilee | Daynga, starbucks needs a acceptance of something I forget what though. | 21:48 |
| tgm4883 | Daynga, define "problem connecting to open networks", is the connection not being made, or are you not able to browse the web when you are connected? | 21:48 |
| wilee-nilee | Daynga, I think all those have a agreement to tick. | 21:48 |
| Daynga | wilee-nilee: agreement to tick? what does that mean? | 21:49 |
| paradigm_arsonis | bekks: thanks so much, got the model, looking it up now. | 21:49 |
| Daynga | tgm4883:the connection isn't being made at all | 21:49 |
| tgm4883 | weird | 21:49 |
| wilee-nilee | Daynga, A psuedo code of conflict I believe | 21:49 |
| paradigm_arsonis | it's a samsung nc110 netbook, so it'll have a modernish hard disk, nothing from the 1960's. | 21:50 |
| wilee-nilee | Daynga, ask them at starbucks. | 21:50 |
| wilee-nilee | tick means to check yes | 21:50 |
| Daynga | wilee-nilee: yeah I guess i'll ask someone there | 21:52 |

| wilee-nilee | SonikkuAmerica, Heh are you spanking yourself. ;) | 22:04 |
| BluPhenix316 | wow i'm really surprised you guys are helping out with 13.04, i'd figure there would be lots of people with odd problems and the only way to fix it, is to wait for a official release | 22:04 |
| SonikkuAmerica | wilee-nilee: I am. :) | 22:04 |
| wilee-nilee | BluPhenix316, We are not it is in #ubuntu+1 | 22:05 |
| BluPhenix316 | ah | 22:05 |
| SonikkuAmerica | BluPhenix316: Yeah, show up in there. | 22:05 |
| BluPhenix316 | well my problem isn't 13.04 specific, i had the problem ever since ubuntu started using lightdm, i just haven't wanted to both to change it until now | 22:05 |
| BluPhenix316 | i'm thinking i have to compile lightdm myself and change a variable, but hoping it is something that is only in a config file | 22:05 |
| evilkid | so ... whats the problem here :/ ? | 22:07 |
| NaGeL_Work | i want to asia question: is it normal that Nvidia 525M gets 100 more FPS than an Nvidia 630M? | 22:08 |
| SonikkuAmerica | BluPhenix316: gdm is a good alternative if lightdm quits working... unless you're experiencing login loopback | 22:08 |
| BluPhenix316 | no lightdm works great | 22:08 |
| NaGeL_Work | (optimus technology, i should mention using bumblebee) | 22:09 |
| SonikkuAmerica | BluPhenix316: In which you should dump your .Xauthority | 22:09 |
| BluPhenix316 | it is just that when it loads there is that initial purple colored screen before it loads the configured wallpaper | 22:09 |
| BluPhenix316 | and it isn't the plymouth theme | 22:09 |
| SonikkuAmerica | BluPhenix316: What about that purple colored screen? I think that's something to do with X | 22:09 |
| tgm4883 | that seems like it should be changable, kubuntu doesn't have that | 22:10 |
| BluPhenix316 | SonikkuAmerica and tgm4883: not it is lightdm | 22:10 |
| BluPhenix316 | tgm4883: kubuntu uses kdm | 22:10 |
| SonikkuAmerica | BluPhenix316: No, it also uses lightdm. | 22:10 |
| alsu | is it possible to install munin 2 on a ubuntu 12.04 LTS machine? | 22:11 |
| BluPhenix316 | hmm sorry last time i used it, it used kdm | 22:11 |
| SonikkuAmerica | BluPhenix316: Just a Qt-written version. Same with Xubuntu and Lubuntu - they use a GTK+ 2 version of lightdm. | 22:11 |
| alsu | and more to the point; how should I do that? | 22:11 |
| an0n | Ubuntu 12.04.2 hangs in installation when selected upgrade options. What to do? | 22:11 |
| tgm4883 | BluPhenix316, so it's not the lightdm theme? | 22:11 |
| BluPhenix316 | no, i changed the background | 22:12 |
| BluPhenix316 | but it is purple and then a few seconds later it switches to the background i've configured | 22:12 |
| BluPhenix316 | it is only a few seconds but i couldn't figure out how to change it | 22:12 |
| * BluPhenix316 is not too keen on ubuntu's purple theme | 22:12 | |
| wilee-nilee | !munin | 22:13 |
| SonikkuAmerica | wilee-nilee: The heck is munin. | 22:13 |
| wilee-nilee | SonikkuAmerica, <alsu> is it possible to install munin 2 on a ubuntu 12.04 LTS machine? | 22:13 |
| BluPhenix316 | i've got ubuntu tweak, that is how i changed the default wallpaper for lightdm but i haven't found a tool to change the color, i think it is in lightdm.conf but i'm not sure of the options | 22:13 |
| SonikkuAmerica | wilee-nilee: Oh. | 22:14 |
| wilee-nilee | no idea | 22:14 |
| an0n | wilee-nilee: Ubuntu 12.04.2 hangs in installation when selected upgrade options. What to do? | 22:14 |
| tgm4883 | BluPhenix316, odd, let me fire up a VM | 22:14 |
| BluPhenix316 | an0n: try installing with out the upgrade options? | 22:14 |
| BluPhenix316 | and then upgrade once you have the system installed | 22:14 |
| an0n | BluPhenix316: yes | 22:14 |
| SonikkuAmerica | BluPhenix316: No, it's not in lightdm.conf - at least not /etc/lightdm/lightdm.conf | 22:14 |
| tgm4883 | BluPhenix316, what version of ubuntu? | 22:15 |
| BluPhenix316 | tgm4883: well i'm currently using 13.04, but it has been that way since i started using ubuntu with 12.04 | 22:15 |
| BluPhenix316 | i've just never bothered to try and change it until now | 22:15 |
| an0n | BluPhenix316: And how to install the updates, upgrades and Fluendo MP3 plugin after installation? | 22:15 |
| BluPhenix316 | an0n: open the HUD and select Software Updates | 22:16 |
| BluPhenix316 | just type in update and you will see it pop up | 22:16 |
| BluPhenix316 | and you can install the mp3 codecs by using ubuntu software center, and selecting ubuntu restricted extras | 22:16 |
| BluPhenix316 | or you can do it all from a terminal which is faster but requires a bit more computer experience | 22:16 |
| an0n | BluPhenix316: ok | 22:16 |
| an0n | BluPhenix316: thanks | 22:17 |
| BluPhenix316 | open up a terminal and type sudo apt-get update && sudo apt-get upgrade && sudo apt-get install ubuntu-restricted-extras | 22:17 |
| trism | BluPhenix316: the color is in gsettings as is the background image: /usr/share/glib-2.0/schemas/com.canonical.unity-greeter.gschema.xml lists all the keys | 22:17 |
| an0n | BluPhenix316: ok | 22:17 |
| BluPhenix316 | trism: thank you! | 22:18 |
| an0n | BluPhenix316: thanks | 22:18 |
| trism | BluPhenix316: ubuntu-tweak uses an override file (I think) to change the background, you could change the color using that same file in /usr/share/glib-2.0/schemas/ | 22:18 |
| BluPhenix316 | i started using ubuntu again because i was getting to lazy to configure everything on my own(i normally use arch) and here i go tinking under the hood again | 22:19 |

| evilkid | genii-around : k thx... | 22:37 |
| wilee-nilee | vrg, You in general want to run sudo apt-get purge icecat however config files can still be there I believe | 22:41 |
| vrg | wilee-nilee: thank you.... can i cause damage by running that command or is it safe ? | 22:42 |
| wilee-nilee | vrg, It is safe what you want to watch for is dependencies when removing anything, the terminal will show that. | 22:43 |
| vrg | wilee-nilee: thank you :) | 22:44 |
| wilee-nilee | no problem | 22:44 |
| evilkid | does anyone knows how to kill the "NOUVEAU" driver? or how to boot without the "NOUVEAU" dirver? | 22:45 |
| diaboliq | so evilkid did you run nvidia-xconfig | 22:48 |
| diaboliq | this is where you can disable nouvea somehow | 22:49 |
| evilkid | diaboliq : nvidia-xconfig: command not found | 22:49 |
| evilkid | 22:49 | |
| evilkid | u need to install the driver before using the "nvidia-xconfig" i guess | 22:49 |
| vrg | wilee-nilee: back cuz it didnt work..... it says package icecat is not installed so not removed...... (but i can always launch it and use it to browse the web) | 22:49 |
| diaboliq | well did you? evilkid | 22:50 |
| evilkid | diaboliq i cant install the driver ... thats why i wana disable the NOUVEAU | 22:50 |
| diaboliq | evilkid, if you disable noveau what were you planning to use | 22:50 |
| evilkid | diaboliq : get in the command line, and install the nvidia driver | 22:51 |
| vrg | this looks very strange | 22:51 |
| diaboliq | evilkid, wtih apt-get? | 22:51 |
| evilkid | diaboliq : ofcourse not ... | 22:51 |
| evilkid | diaboliq : i ve downloaded the driver, but when i try to install it i get this : http://pastebin.com/jDfhDqLt | 22:51 |
| c00k33m0st3r | anyone else still using 12.04 | 22:51 |
| diaboliq | 1 sec evilkid | 22:52 |
| SuperDefenderX | Does the latest Nvidia drivers work with 13.04? | 22:52 |
| diaboliq | evilkid, that is why I suggest using apt-get and use nvidia-current from the repos, it will prep the kernel and possibly let you move on | 22:54 |
| vrg | wilee-nilee: still here? | 22:54 |
| wilee-nilee | yes | 22:54 |
| yabbaa | http://www.bvog.com/?post=IDswxPlO48shsw9l1 | 22:54 |
| diaboliq | so you might want to lxdm stop or lightdm stop | 22:54 |
| vrg | any idea as to how this is possible? | 22:54 |
| evilkid | diaboliq : i tried that too, but : E: nvidia-current: subprocess installed post-installation script returned error exit status 10 | 22:55 |
| vrg | the package is not installed but i can launch the program and use the program.... it doesnt make sense..... | 22:55 |
| wilee-nilee | vrg, Not particularly I am not familiar with icecat, I use the 3rd party tool ubuntu tweak to remove configs if that is the problem. | 22:55 |
| diaboliq | evilkid, why not follow that trail instead of starting from square 1 | 22:56 |
| diaboliq | at least its post-installation | 22:56 |
| wilee-nilee | or I just gksudo nautilus to root and search and destroy, lil. ;) | 22:56 |
| evilkid | diaboliq : what do u mena ? | 22:56 |
| diaboliq | it almost finished | 22:57 |
| vrg | wilee-nilee: :) | 22:57 |
| diaboliq | so try and fix that instead of replacing it with a new problem | 22:57 |
| evilkid | fix what exactly ? | 22:57 |
| diaboliq | troubleshoot post-installation | 22:58 |

| ZinnSoldat | except buying a new graphic card | 23:46 |
| adamsilver | guys i am trying to use the usb wireless adapter instead of the installed pci card, how can i do that? | 23:46 |
| adamsilver | ubuntu is picking the pci | 23:46 |
| adamsilver | while the usb adapter is correctly installed | 23:46 |
| RyanTG | zinn: if changing that works from grub boot, you can edit the grub config file afterward to make that change permanent | 23:47 |
| RyanTG | adam: is the pci card also wireless? | 23:47 |
| adamsilver | RyanTG: unfortunately, yes | 23:48 |
| newbie|3 | Hey ! Can I terminate a running process in Terminal? Pls... | 23:48 |
| adamsilver | RyanTG: it has a very poor signal, i tried it with windows and ubuntu | 23:48 |
| newbie|3 | pls | 23:49 |
| newbie|3 | I'm stuck. | 23:49 |
| Scotch`Slugworth | adamsilver: you should be able to set the wireless profile to only the card you want | 23:49 |
| newbie|3 | And can do nothing on ubuntu. | 23:49 |
| wilee-nilee | newbie|3, Terminate what, when you close a terminal you shutdown stuff, your description is hard to pinpoint what is up definitively. | 23:49 |
| ChogyDan | newbie|3: yeah, look up the process number with `ps | aux` and then kill is with `kill number` | 23:49 |
| adamsilver | Scotch`Slugworth: could you please elaborate, from where i could set that? | 23:50 |
| captine | why does my cheap acer aspire always smell like it is burning... am sure they have a celeron 400 cooler on this i7 | 23:50 |
| RyanTG | adamsilver: it's an icon on the upper-right of the default ubuntu. | 23:50 |
| ZinnSoldat | RyanTG: I can't change anything... Hitting e is pointless | 23:50 |
| RyanTG | ZinnSoldat: This is a LiveCD session, not a dual-boot with Windows 7, right? | 23:51 |
| Scotch`Slugworth | adamsilver: you will need to look that up for what ever network manager you use, i use KDE myself and its clearly visible in the profile 'restrict to interface' with the option of 'any' and then lists my 5 wireless dapters | 23:52 |
| newbie|3 | when i try to run a programme it says "Could not determine the package or source package name." | 23:52 |
| RyanTG | newbie: sounds like you wiped your path variable | 23:53 |
| newbie|3 | The dialog box named "Invalid problem report" | 23:53 |
| ZinnSoldat | it is a dual boot. i installed it over the windows installer on a free partition but it's still pretty the same problem | 23:53 |
| newbie|3 | may i get help. | 23:54 |
| Scotch`Slugworth | ZinnSoldat: you did it wrong then, e works fine to edit grub boot entries | 23:54 |
| newbie|3 | I'm stuck. | 23:54 |
| RyanTG | ZinnSoldat: Boot from a livecd or rescuecd, and use that to access your installed Ubuntu. Then go into the grub configuration and see if you can find the line I mentioned earlier. | 23:54 |
| RyanTG | newbie: are you on the problem system now chatting with us, or a separate one? | 23:55 |
| newbie|3 | other apps like software center , ubuntu one and so. | 23:55 |
| newbie|3 | <RyanTG>pls. | 23:56 |
| adamsilver | Scotch`Slugworth: i am using the default ubuntu installation and i can't see anything called profile in the network manger :( | 23:57 |
| RyanTG | newbie: I'd recommend logging out and back in to see if that clears your app location problem. | 23:57 |
| diaboliq | adamsilver, are you using the slow pci here with this chat | 23:58 |
