[00:00] waterfoul_: maybe we need to figure out why you have to disable lightdm [00:00] waterfoul_: when maybe all you need is autologin [00:01] she_dyed I disabled lightdm because I don't need it and it just slows the boot process [00:01] I don't want any display or window manager [00:01] yes and it broke something [00:01] you need a different approach [00:01] so it goes into xbmc immediately [00:01] this approach works in every other linux distro I have used [00:01] 99% [00:02] 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] waterfoul_: any way to see if sound is active somehow === smithkm_ is now known as smithkm [00:02] The only way I know of it so try it in xbmc [00:03] like launching some terminal mp3 player (not xbmc) [00:03] sure 1 sec [00:03] lemme get a terminal on the display [00:03] ok [00:03] you got the idea [00:03] 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. [00:04] ok well I do not understand it at all [00:04] avid_fan: thats ok man you're among friends =) [00:04] which software can I use in Ubuntu to record videos from a capture card? [00:04] but for some reason it says the print share is not accessable just typing domain/user in the box [00:04] however, if I just put it through like that its fine [00:04] O_o [00:04] 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. [00:05] ouch [00:06] Pinkamena_D: Is printing direct to the printer not an option? [00:08] no, and now it stopped working afgain [00:09] hello my background is white and I cannot change it if I stop running NAUTILUS and start XFDESKTOP it works fine. What do I do to have it working [00:10] hello my background is white and I cannot change it if I stop running NAUTILUS and start XFDESKTOP it works fine. What do I do to have it working === a_b0y is now known as FUozzzy [00:11] Georgi: type man nautilus i think u can start it with --no-desktop so it doesn't ake over so much [00:11] take* [00:11] she_dyed know of any test sounds I can use? [00:11] can you type only the command [00:11] any mp3 you have there? [00:11] I got confused on what to write [00:12] man nautilus georgi === mamemame187 is now known as Guest79435 [00:13] I did [00:13] it opens a windows with text [00:13] start reading [00:14] I started it with --no-desktop still I see black screen [00:14] 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. [00:15] why would i get tons of ksoftirqd/watchdog/migration/kworker threads stacking? this is on an apache server, box does nothing else. [00:15] she_dyed: I would one. mplayer gives /dev/dsp no such file or directory [00:15] s/would/found/ [00:15] 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] cotton: apache uses worker threads, makes sense. [00:15] waterfoul_: no just audio, like aplay something.mp3 [00:16] ah ok jnc thanks makes sense [00:16] i did a wav file. I'll do aplay anyway [00:16] she_dyed so if it is not nautilus can you tell me what it is [00:16] mplayer will try everything it has for video as well [00:16] cotton: are these serving i.e. PHP scripted pages? [00:16] who said it isnt georgi [00:16] well it didn't fix a thing [00:16] man nautilus [00:16] yeah [00:16] wrote it [00:17] then the --no-desktop part [00:17] thats the manual [00:17] and still no wallpaper [00:17] jnc: yea [00:17] php [00:17] cotton: ok so each access is a new invocation of PHP [00:17] which software can I use on Ubuntu to record videos from a capture card? [00:17] aplay gives no audio and no error alsamixer gives cannot open mixer: No such file or directory [00:18] cotton: the worker thread is responsible for that thing which returns data to be served [00:18] shig: i've used mythtv successfully in the past but it can be a pain to setup [00:19] * cotton jnc: but on my other (100x busier) box, i only have say, 17 of migration/ksoftirqd/watchdog and 38 kworkers [00:19] 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] on the box in question, 40 of those, and 80+ kworkers [00:19] 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] with just a few clients [00:19] ah ok [00:20] just wondering why the extreme difference [00:20] apache is installed similarly on both boxes [00:20] waterfoul_, yes it is a pain to setup, tried here... I can get video, but no audio :( [00:20] jnc: i didn't think it was the apache MPM i could be wrong..? does just that version use kworker threads === mutante is now known as mutante-away [00:20] shig what is your card? [00:21] cotton: would have to read more docs to be sure, but that sounds like a good guess to me :) [00:22] what is the latest version of ubuntu that will install to my PowerBook G4? [00:22] it is PPC [00:22] if the scheduler is doing its job correctly, then additional kworker threads aren't really competing for resources [00:23] wisey it looks like the latest will install but you milage may vary, look here: https://wiki.ubuntu.com/PowerPCDownloads [00:23] wisey: maybe, PPC is like m68k... better left in a museum? [00:23] lol [00:23] I say that fresh with memories of installing Debian Potato on a m68k color classic with "emile" bootloader [00:23] or convert to aquarium [00:24] and then I shipped that hardware to france donate to the developer of "emile" [00:24] waterfoul_, Bt878 chipset [00:25] 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? [00:26] ketsemoaaa: https://help.ubuntu.com/community/BIND9ServerHowto , on how to setup a DNS server with Ubuntu. [00:26] 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] It's been like this with Arch, Slackware, Debian, as well as Ubuntu [00:27] 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] 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] 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] hey [00:28] hello? [00:28] ja [00:30] waterfoul_, nooooooo :( well, I'm going to search a bit more on google, thanks! === fatal_ink is now known as The_Binary_Man [00:30] hey [00:31] welcoe [00:31] jnc: Where i can find a DNS service that lists my address? [00:32] is anyone else here? [00:32] srry kets === The_Binary_Man is now known as TEST [00:32] IP? Shields Up would give you your ip. or what is my ip in google [00:32] is there way to find out what the compile parameters were for any of the packages that i use? === TEST is now known as [SERVER] [00:33] <[SERVER]> Please welcome "pigeonor" to #Ubuntu [00:33] <[SERVER]> Please welcome "adiaswin" to #Ubuntu [00:34] hi pigeonor [00:34] <[SERVER]> Please welcome "R00tD00R" to #Ubuntu [00:34] 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] Hi [00:35] 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] I don't have a specific suggestion since I'm not being paid for one :) [00:35] What does ubuntu use as it's sound daemon? [00:36] waterfoul_: PulseAudio, I think [00:37] jnc: But i will write in the web interface of Godaddy? [00:38] 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'? " [00:39] "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] those are the kind of informations you'll need to learn about and then enter into the registrar's web control panel [00:39] hmmm it looks like alsa is not working..... [00:40] ketsemoaaa: wikipedia might be of some assistance building your knowledge of DNS, http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Domain_Name_System [00:40] why does "rm -r foobar" prompt me like 300 times if i truly want to delete write-protected regular file(s) ? [00:40] ketsemoaaa: It's really not all that complicated, especially if you're managing a single domain. [00:41] hello [00:41] jnc: avid_fan: i guess that i need two static ip's [00:41] relipse: try rm -f [00:41] or rm -rf === irick_ is now known as irick [00:41] 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] which is a more respected language, c++, java or perl? [00:43] p-2: perl, of course [00:43] p-2: in what field? for what purpose? [00:43] avid_fan: i simple want to connect my domain with my cloud server that i set up [00:43] p-2: languages don't matter. [00:43] for web app dev [00:43] nevyn: why not? [00:43] sticking with perl. [00:43] java or none of the above. [00:43] haha [00:43] 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] p-2: you can learn one in a weekend [00:44] what do you recommend? [00:44] again it depends.. [00:44] waterfoul_: alsamixer sometimes defaults to the pulseaudio mixer [00:44] for web app [00:44] 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] waterfoul_: try "alsamixer -c0" or "alsamixer -c1" [00:45] p-2: webdev is now all about the node.js and similar ajax foo [00:45] invalid card index: 0 [00:45] 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] invalid card index: 01 [00:45] neat [00:45] it really is broken [00:46] ketsemoaaa: But at my previous company, we hosted our DNS internally. And did so without a problem for years. [00:46] is there a way to get php 5.4 on debian squeeze? [00:46] nevyn: what is the best language to program a chatbot-AI in? [00:46] waterfoul_: it looks broken.. try turning it off and on again.

DNS isn't something I would call trivial, but it's not a 50-foot, 10-headed hydra monster either. [00:53] is c++ considered a n00b language? [00:53] no.

[01:46] marshalcure, have you read the conky beginners guide? [01:47] 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. === Flynn_ is now known as bitencourt [01:48] marshalcure: so this really has nothing to do with conky. but more of an apt question. ;) [01:48] umm yeah sure ;0 [01:48] should have said i just converted to linux [01:48] marshalcure: And a 'sudo rm -f ' does? [01:48] apt-get purge packagename should have removed them all. as far as i know [01:48] marshalcure: its not worth worrying about really.. [01:48] ok the usb drive is listed as an device, ls /dev/| grep sdb shows the device + sdb1 a partition [01:49] dd if=/dev/null of=/dev/sdb -> dd: opening ‘/dev/sdb’: No such device or address [01:49] there must be a way to fix the stupid usb drive .. [01:49] purge did not remove them..and i guess i could leave them. i [01:49] marshalcure: Ah, a recent convert. You need elevated privileges. Check out 'sudo'. [01:50] ok will do i'll google it 'sudo' [01:50] 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 [01:51] You could just reinstall conky and try to learn to use it. ;) its a nifty tool. but can be a bit overwhelming [01:51] so I guess no one has an idea how my issue could be solved? [01:51] steven-, sounds like a hardware issue [01:51] 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] bazhang: the thing is, it worked perfectely like 1h ago [01:52] I used gparted to format it, and ever since I did that its acting up [01:52] so I was hoping its just a currputed fs [01:52] 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] steven-: Can you make a new partition table and start over? [01:53] well i ran"sudo apt-get --purge remove conky " files still remain [01:53] I can't do anything, the stick blinks, it appears as /dev/sdb and thats about it [01:53] no application is able to read, write or even touch it [01:53] marshalcure, what files? [01:53] marshalcure, remove the .conky from home [01:53] and i tried to reinstall but conky wont start and im pretty sure its these files blocking [01:54] marshalcure: whjat files exactly are you talking about? it shouldent stopy conky from getting reinstalled [01:54] dmesg prints out this stuff, http://paste.ubuntu.com/5700295/ [01:54] How to schdeule pthreads in c using fcfs, rr???

[01:56] deww: it was working before I used gparted, though [01:56] ah okay [01:56] so I guess gparted destroyed my stick? [01:57] 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] compi: I did find drivers... but no help to you ;/ [01:57] @ubottu i will have to read up on that [01:57] steven-: have to agree with deww, looks like a potential hardware problem with the drive. [01:57] marshalcure: ubottu is a bot.. and theres no need for the @ on irc [01:57] nice, at least I can say gparted destroyed my thumb drive [01:57] o sorry i must look like a noob idiot inhere [01:57] lol [01:57] marshalcure, post the error message, or the path to the files that aren't being removed when you purge it [01:57] jnc, I did this: sudo setserial /dev/ttyS4 uart 16550A but it still stays as "Xscale", and does not want to work.. [01:58] shit, its the only one I have right now [01:58] ok ill try the http://past.ubuntu.com [01:58] jnc, could it be that I do not have enough serial ports specified somewhere? [01:59] compi: see query [01:59] marshalcure: don't feel bad about being a newbie. We all started somewhere. Just don't expect miracles. :-) [01:59] thanks :) [02:00] !manual | marshalcure [02:00] marshalcure: The Ubuntu Manual will help you become familiar with everyday tasks such as surfing the web, listening to music and scanning documents.

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. [02:03] https://github.com/awilliam/asus-switcheroo [02:03] However, I'm not really sure in how to use/deploy it. [02:03] I'm a noob when it comes to Linux. I'm looking at the readme but I'm pretty confused. [02:04] No one? [02:05] what I dont get, why is it listed as a device in /dev/* and why does lsusb show the drive as well? [02:05] if it was dead, shouldn't it be not listed at all? [02:07] steven-: ive seen drives be in a semi-dead-damaged-wacked out state befor. [02:07] arkie_, you likely want https://wiki.ubuntu.com/Bumblebee [02:07] steven-: seen them also come back to life for a while.. then die again later.. [02:07] steven-: it depends on what part of the hd died or is acting up [02:07] arkie_, looking at this https://help.ubuntu.com/community/HybridGraphics#NVIDIA_Optimus it seems the vga switcheroo won't work for you === tjbiddle_ is now known as tjbiddle [02:08] 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] so I am 99% sure that its not a HW issue [02:09] steven-: Then do you have another box with another OS to try and "fix" it? [02:09] !fsck [02:09] 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] plugged it into my gfs windows box, same behaviour but less information :D [02:10] steven-: how big a hd is it? [02:10] its a thumb drive, only 8gb [02:11] 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] ive seen flash drives fail in all sorts of weird ways.. [02:12] hello [02:12] dd doesn't work either, already tried that^^ [02:12] steven-, so you can't format it in the windows box either? [02:13] steven-: its possible it Might 'start' working eventually.. but for a usb flash - i doubt it.. [02:13] no [02:13] yeah I guess I really have to head to walmart and get another one -.- [02:13] steven-: Sounds like it's "hammer time". [02:14] hello [02:14] hello, steven [02:14] hrmm.. [02:14] i am seeing "debian" and some graphics on my ubuntu 12.04 during bootscreen, is there any way to disable this? [02:14] hello CR-Bot [02:14] * avid_fan [02:14] :D [02:15] steven Iused "dd if=/dev/zero of=/dev/sbdx bs=512 count=1 then reformat [02:15] !give me a test CR-Bot [02:15] ezrafree, debian? what did you do? [02:15] bazhang: I am only a bot, please don't think I'm intelligent :) [02:15] dd cant find the of [02:15] which is weird because its listed in dev/ [02:15] tgm4883: lmao, i dunno! i did an upgrade, that's about it really... [02:15] 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] that is, i did "sudo apt-get upgrade" [02:16] arkie, I'm taking it you didn't actually see anything that I told you [02:16] Do you intelligent, ubottu ? [02:16] steven-: Might I suggest a reboot and then try dd, or fsck, or whatever once more? [02:16] i guess i should probably check google out on this [02:16] if dd fails. then the hardware is not getting detected properly. [02:17] steven-: I'm skeptical it will actually help, but stranger things have happened. [02:17] Nice to met you, steven. [02:17] which woud also explain why /dev/sdX is not seen [02:17] :) [02:17] CR-Bot is aliiiieeeeve [02:17] dr_willis: but /dev/sdb is seen [02:17] who's all up in that eggdrop ;) [02:17] thats the whole confusion [02:17] tgm4883, just saw now. [02:18] So I don't have a hardware multiplexer? [02:18] arkie, IDK, doesn't sound like it from that page [02:18] has anyone else ever experienced their grub theme in ubuntu being reset to a debian theme? [02:18] arkie, but I don't have nvidia hybrid graphics, I have amd hybrid graphics [02:18] ezrafree: Nope. Sorry. [02:18] ezrafree, I think you mean plymouth [02:18] ezrafree, Did you have or do you have another OS? [02:18] tgm4883, but the github readme basically says that the switcheroo works on his ul30vt [02:19] which is the same model as mine. [02:19] tgm4883: plymoth? [02:19] What is mean aliiiieeeeve, ezrafree ? [02:19] tgm4883: what's plymouth? [02:19] ezrafree, yea, that is the boot screen [02:19] steven-: you said eralier that dd dident see it i thought [02:19] tgm4883: hmm i am running grub, it even says so on the bootscreen [02:19] arkie, well you could try it, IDK if it would hurt it [02:19] !plymouth | ezrafree [02:19] 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 » [02:20] CR-Bot, do you have an ubuntu support question [02:20] oh yeah ls /dev | grep sdb <- lists the device + the sdb1 partition [02:20] dd throws an error though [02:20] tgm4883: ah ok thanks [02:21] 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] Yes, i have. Are you hacker, bazhang ? Can you teach me about hacker ? [02:21] !ot | CR-Bot [02:21] CR-Bot: #ubuntu is the Ubuntu support channel, for all Ubuntu-related support questions. Please use #ubuntu-offtopic for other topics (though our !guidelines apply there too). Thanks! [02:22] Xabster: I try to keep my meddling in Windo$e to a minimum. [02:22] Why would I ever go into windows [02:22] CR-Bot, thats not what this channel is about, so no. take the random chit chat somewhere else [02:22] i understand, and i know i'm off topic [02:22] So many crashes. [02:22] Xabster: so puTTY works fine for me. :-) [02:22] just hoped for a recommended ssh client other than putty [02:22] Ok, thanks. I'm sorry. [02:23] what's with the CR-Bot? [02:23] Xabster, you could ask in ##windows for that [02:23] yes i will, sorry [02:23] Ok, thanks. I'm sorry, bazhang. [02:23] tgm4883, that switcheroo guide you linked is different from the asus-switcheroo on github [02:23] Xabster: no worries. :-P [02:24] the asus-switcheroo is specifically for my laptop model. [02:24] dr_willis: http://paste.ubuntu.com/5700361/ [02:24] arkie, ok, so what is your question then? [02:24] look at the readme for the asus switcheroo [02:24] arkie, i am [02:25] im not sure what to do, i only just installed ubuntu yesterday [02:25] dr_willis: dd: opening ‘/dev/sdb’: No such device or address [02:25] i dont know what commands to run in the terminal etc.. [02:25] arkie, seriously? [02:25] yes tgm4883 [02:25] did you clone the branch? [02:26] no [02:26] dr_willis: fdisk -l won't list the device [02:26] arkie, 'git clone git://github.com/awilliam/asus-switcheroo.git' [02:26] lsblk shows it though [02:26] it says build the asus-switcheroo kernel modules [02:26] arkie, you might have to install git [02:26] git is installed [02:26] blkid doesn't [02:26] did that yesterday [02:27] ok i ran that code tgm4883 [02:27] arkie, so clone it, run make, then run "sudo make install-ubuntu" [02:27] make install-ubuntu? [02:28] arkie, make [02:28] what target do i specify for 'make' tgm4883 ? [02:29] steven-: looks like its ready for replacement to me. bbl. [02:29] arkie, IDK, I'm looking at the readme [02:29] are you in the cloned directory? [02:29] 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] no [02:30] i have to cd or something then right? [02:30] yes [02:30] cd [02:30] yes avid_fan and its listed in /dev/, but not in blkid, but lsblk shows it again === Karbowiak is now known as zz_Karbowiak [02:31] tgm4883: anthony@anthony-UL30VT:~/asus-switcheroo$ sudo make [02:31] make -C /lib/modules/3.5.0-27-generic/build M=/home/anthony/asus-switcheroo modules [02:31] make: *** /lib/modules/3.5.0-27-generic/build: No such file or directory. Stop. [02:31] make: *** [default] Error 2 [02:31] arkie_: use a pastebin service.. [02:31] arkie_, well you don't need sudo, and you need to install your kernel headers [02:32] Quick question, does anyone here have their system encrypted with luks? [02:32] so many crashes. [02:32] steven-: steven- Again I'm thinking, ok hoping, that you need to start from a "clean slate" and reboot. I'm skeptical that it will actually work, but stranger things have happened. [02:32] removing the sudo doesnt help tgm4883 [02:32] how do i install the kernel headers? [02:32] arkie, you need to install linux-headers-generic [02:33] arkie, that is assuming your system is up to date [02:34] sudo apt-get install linux-headers-generic? [02:34] is that the command tgm4883 ? [02:34] arkie, yes [02:35] is that why make isn't working? [02:35] arkie tgm4883 would a 'apt-get install build-essential' also be useful? [02:35] xubuntu 12.04 -- they seemed to have removed rcconf -- gives me an error message about needing whiptail or dialog -- whiptail IS installed. [02:36] avid_fan, possibly [02:36] ok make worked [02:37] now installing make and picked distro [02:38] ok its done tgm4883 [02:40] sysv-rc-conf [02:40] sheesh [02:40] tgm [02:40] tgm4883, # echo OFF > /sys/kernel/debug/vgaswitcheroo/switch doesn't work.

Is this still the case? [02:44] is that the correct command tgm4883 ? [02:44] arkie, no, that still won't work [02:44] Yep, it isn't. [02:45] What am I doing wrong? [02:45] arkie, although something like 'echo OFF | sudo tee ' would probably work [02:45] what does the 'tee' do? [02:45] tee - read from standard input and write to standard output and files [02:47] tgm4883: http://paste.ubuntu.com/5700396/ [02:49] arkie_, I have a feeling that was just drivers for it and you still have to install vgaswitcheroo [02:49] tgm4883, i see [02:50] or could it be that debugfs isn't automatically mounted tgm4883 ? [02:51] ok bazhang i'm sorry but i have been trying to put this error on using pastebinit but i can not figure it out === Wug[Hyperspace] is now known as Wug [02:51] when i type pastebinit "filename" it says it cant read it [02:51] i put the error on a text doc [02:52] marshalcure, whats the exact command please [02:53] hot do i actually install vgaswitcheroo now tgm4883 ? [02:53] im sorry not sure what your asking [02:53] argh. [02:54] romero126: Playing pirate? [02:54] So many crashes. [02:54] marshalcure, what are you trying to display using pastebinit? it's command | pastebinit usually, not filename pastebinit [02:54] Chrome crashed. ... [02:55] well rather lightpd related crash docking and undocking UI in chrome. [02:55] romero126: Oh, I see. I have to say, imho, Chrome on Linux < Chrome on Windo$e. [02:56] This is the 5th crash in 3 hours that is x related. [02:56] romero126: It makes me kinda sad. [02:56] o sorry i tried in terminal " conky | pastebinit" but i get a error saying im trying to send a black document. [02:56] blank* [02:56] 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] Ben64, thank you for helping me fix 90% of my issues last night, much appreciated [02:57] Hello. Can I ask questions about the server edition or is this strictly desktop version questions? [02:57] Its not a chromium specific error with me. its alot of gui based errors. [02:57] 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] 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] ironmig: You can ask, but #ubuntu-server might be more appropriate. [02:58] I update my machine every day, and im getting intermittant errors where its not a continual crash and non conditional. [02:58] romero126: What version of Ubuntu and Chrome? Just curious. [02:58] 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] the only link is unity and lightdm [02:59] arkie_, I think so [02:59] to get a fresh install of conky. but those remnants are clinging to every fresh install and throwing errors [02:59] Ubuntu is at 12.10 and Chrome is at the latest. [02:59] 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] marshalcure, have you read the conky beginners guide yet? [03:00] marshalcure, I'm still waiting for an error message or list of files that aren't getting removed [03:00] ironmig: are you afraid of the command line? [03:00] 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. [03:01] the files are conky.conf and conky_no_x11.conf in the etc folder in root [03:01] I know enough to do alot of dmg in linux and its still lame. :/ [03:01] marshalcure, was that a yes or no to my question? have you read the conky beginners guide yet? [03:01] ironmig WR-Stone : in my experience minecraft can consume considerable RAM, so Ubuntu server, without X, can help you there. [03:02] yes [03:02] hrmm [03:02] brb [03:03] marshalcure, those files don't belong to the conky package [03:03] 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] 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] marshalcure, which is why they aren't getting removed when you purge that package [03:03] 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] marshalcure, they belong to the conky-std package [03:03] (XP and Vista! Can't get ahold of a Windows 7 iso.) [03:04] so if i purge that will it take them with it [03:04] tgm4883, tried rebooting same thing, just says no file or directory [03:04] marshalcure, also, they aren't in /etc, they are in /etc/conky/ (at least in 12.10) [03:04] so i guess you're right and i actually need to install vgaswitcheroo [03:04] are there any scripts to provision an ubuntu server. things like check for sysctl and kernel params. networking etc? [03:04] Charcoalcat, Hm ... don't know what to tell you. I'm fighting Win8 VirtualBox install at the moment. :P [03:04] arkie, I still think you need to install vgaswitheroo [03:04] has anyone here been able to get ubuntu to install on a surface pro? [03:04] sorry that is where there at [03:04] are* [03:04] is that just sudo apt-get install vgaswitcheroo or something? [03:04] arkie, yes [03:04] 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. :-) [03:05] ironmig, Yes, it's possible. However, if you don't know the command line, you may find it rather daunting. [03:05] avid_fan, Yep, I hear you. Again, theoretically, yes, a GUI-less box will have more resources to devote to MC. [03:06] ironmig, what specs on the server? [03:06] 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] installed vgaswitcheroo and same thing with that command tgm4883 no suchg file or directory [03:06] 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? [03:07] ironmig, what specs on the server? [03:07] any other ideas? [03:07] 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. ;) [03:08] 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] arkie, sorry, i'm out of ideas [03:08] It is a AMD phenom ii x6, Radeon HD 6950, 8gb DDR3, 1TB mechanical hard drive, 650watt psu [03:08] ironmig_, how many friends? [03:08] Maybe 10 total on the server [03:09] ironmig_, that should be plenty of resources I think [03:09] ironmig_: For your "ultimate" setup, you're going to have to learn about many things like, command line, screen/byobu, & ssh. [03:09] 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] It includes the SSH instructions, as well as how to use screen. [03:10] WR-Stone: Good find. [03:10] screen? [03:10] I just wrote an upstart job [03:10] 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] tgm4883, That'd work, too. But screen may be easier for someone who doesn't know the command line or scripts. [03:10] tgm4883: I'm not a MC expert, but how would you admin the server after starting it, assuming you're not playing as OP? [03:11] avid_fan, I was actually working on it earlier today. ;) [03:11] WR-Stone, true, but then it doesn't start and stop the server [03:11] avid_fan, I play as op [03:11] tgm4883: I see. [03:11] I think theres a open source project called my mc admin that will allow me to control it from a web console === Wug is now known as Wug[Hyperspace] [03:11] 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] ironmig_: I'll have to look into that. Sounds interesting. [03:12] 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] WR-Stone, having issues getting it running? [03:13] 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... :-) === Wug[Hyperspace] is now known as Wug [03:14] 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: I find that OPing everone is usually a bad idea, so I like having console access. [03:14] WR-Stone, ah === aarcane_ is now known as aarcane [03:15] WR-Stone, ah, I knew I had seen that before http://www.minecraftforum.net/topic/1754579-public-debt-mega-structure/ [03:16] Yep, that was me. :) [03:16] :) [03:16] Turns out it's rather hard to do. MCEdit won't create a structure that size reliably. === fego is now known as Guest17128 [03:18] hi guys, what's the relationship between sockets and file descriptors? [03:18] do sockets always us file descriptors? [03:19] tongcx: This is mostly beyond my exp, but I believe so yes, sockets always us file descriptors, [03:19] does anyone here have any experience getting a tripple monitor setup between an nvidia card with two monitors and an intel onboard display? [03:20] *use [03:20] cyrano_: Just gotta push that edge of the envelope? [03:21] 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] that's my goal.. [03:21] my ubuntu 12 system keeps making beepy sounds [03:22] it sounds like its mounting something [03:22] this happens roughly once every minute. it makes beep beep, beep beep beep [03:22] AcidRain, It's two beeps, a pause, and three beeps? [03:22] no. its sounds like 5 beeps x2 [03:23] ill have to wait for it to come around again [03:23] AcidRain: I immediately started singing, 'She'll be comin' around the mountain...' [03:23] this davmail thing is an interesting concept [03:24] Hm ... no idea. Sometimes the PC BIOS beeps, but that's before boot. I'll Google and see what I can find. [03:24] Morphy: as is polygamy. Your point? === Guest17128 is now known as fego === fego is now known as Guest23931 [03:25] 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] AcidRain: How does it "sounds like its mounting something"? Is there HDD noise associated with the beeps? [03:25] tgm4883, [03:25] i found this [03:25] http://askubuntu.com/questions/53054/i-can-not-find-sys-kernel-debug-vgaswitcheroo-switch#53062 [03:25] Morphy: sorry, just in a mood to be cheeky. :-) [03:26] avid_fan, no. usually when i mount a drive, it makes a sound. [03:26] avid_fan, totally understand - don't worry, I can take it :) [03:26] this time when i booted automounter mounted 2 external drives. [03:26] also, my system hangs during these beeps for a moment [03:26] AcidRain, You mean like mounting a CD or something? With magnetic or USB drives, I've never heard a thing. [03:26] :/ [03:26] well how do i turn it off? lol [03:27] AcidRain: I have to agree with WR-Stone, never heard of such a situation. [03:27] 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. [03:28] Morphy: Agreed. Hadn't heard of davmail, but why not? Sounds interesting. [03:28] Morphy: There's the potential to open Exchange access to many front-ends. [03:29] avid_fan: Not that anyone would "choose" to use Exchange. :-) === Guest23931 is now known as fego [03:29] Morphy: Not that anyone would "choose" to use Exchange. :-) [03:29] Doh! [03:29] heh [03:30] Morphy: I don't know why I apparently keep typing my own nick... :-/ [03:31] avid_fan, one of those days - I think everyone in MN is having the same thing - waking up to snow in the middle of April isn't a happy experience :) [03:31] i installed this package: linux-backports-modules-hv-quantal-generic and it knocked out my wired network card. is there a way to get the network card back? [03:31] Hello! [03:32] Anyone online now? [03:33] Morphy: Sorry for you folks in MN. Saw some pict on reddit referring to you guys. That sucks. Michigander here, so I'm kinda used to it. A little surprised we don't have it. Then again it's early spring. [03:33] I'm trying to find a good workflow for web development on Ubuntu [03:33] dividedby1: probably [03:33] any ideas? [03:34] dividedby1: Cast your line and depending on the bait you may, or may not, get a response. [03:34] 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] dividedby1: Nope, sorry. I usually do web stuff on Windows [03:35] Morphy: Exactly. Maybe you could use a RasperryPi to control the truck? [03:35] Sigh... Me too but just bought a small netbook for travel... Wanted a simple workflow on ubuntu [03:35] Damn [03:35] how can i add/manage email accounts for my domain? [03:35] avid_fan, I can just see the lawsuits... [03:35] All I can seem to find is bluefish and that really sucks [03:36] how about quantas dividedby1 [03:36] I'm trying to find something like NOtepad++ on ubuntu [03:36] Just can't find something that simple [03:36] Morphy: Well there's that, and a cleared driveway. :-) [03:36] :) [03:38] i think it is called kdewebdev [03:39] dividedby1: I really don't do "web development" but if I were I would definitely use some sort of CMS that would not require the use of any kind of special software. [03:40] Hello.. I am in Mint 14 now and the sudo command is not requesting the password. My o.s. can be vulnerable.. How can I change that? [03:40] dividedby1: I know that doesn't help, sorry. But this is a Ubuntu help channel, not a web-development channel. [03:41] Is that normally in Mint? [03:41] Sudo without password requirement? [03:41] Physicist_: that can be configured. [03:42] avid_fan: Give me something, please.. [03:42] Physicist_: but as a default? I'd be surprised. === Moe is now known as Guest90018 === lolbee is now known as lolant [03:43] sudo won't ask for your password everytime, there is some kind of timeout [03:43] avid_fan: Yes exactly. I did not changed anything.. [03:43] johnjohn1011: Never ask... [03:44] are you logged in as root? [03:44] I am with Mint 14 KDE.. [03:44] johnjohn1011: Nope.. === lolant is now known as loldog === loldog is now known as lolcat [03:45] Physicist_: What's the content of your /etc/sudoers ? [03:46] yeah it's possible to turn that password stuff off http://linuxtipstricks.wordpress.com/2009/03/21/how-to-change-sudo-to-not-ask-for-your-personal-password/ [03:47] !pastebin [03:47] For posting multi-line texts into the channel, please use http://paste.ubuntu.com | To post !screenshots use http://imagebin.org/?page=add | !pastebinit to paste directly from command line | Make sure you give us the URL for your paste - see also the channel topic.

Please seek support in #linuxmint-help on irc.spotchat.org [03:48] Physicist_: you can go to mintsupport, but on freenode they're pretty dead. [03:48] avid_fan: I know.. [03:48] Have a look: http://paste.ubuntu.com/5700477/ [03:48] But if the folks at #ubuntu would rather, I'll join you on ##linuxmint. [03:48] Im on the #linuxmint-help on spotchat and it's pretty lively atm [03:49] avid_fan, stay [03:49] reokie: I guess I picked the wrong channel. [03:49] reokie: :-) [03:49] Physicist_: Looking at your paste post right now. [03:50] looks the same as the article i posted. meaning it's not required [03:50] If I change: ALL - to: NO ?? [03:51] johnjohn1011: last line [03:51] "ALL ALL=(ALL) NOPASSWD:ALL" a big no no. [03:52] maybe we should paste bin our /etc/sudoers and have him make a back of that and use the default ubuntu one [03:52] johnjohn1011: Good idea.. [03:52] johnjohn1011: All but the last line, I think is a direct match. [03:54] johnjohn1011: Can you past your file? [03:54] http://paste.ubuntu.com/5700482/ [03:54] Physicist_ johnjohn1011: I'm no sudo expert, but that last line reads to give everyone, and anyone, root access if they simply request it. [03:54] Physicist_: make sure you just back up your file, ie don't delete it === PartTimeLegend is now known as satoshin [03:55] johnjohn1011: Backup? lol. Of course Physicist_ has a backup of everything... :-) [03:56] avid_fan: Heh.. [03:56] i guess he could if he had ZFS.. [03:57] i learned something just now. pretty cool. [03:58] woot another crash at reboot [03:58] Physicist_: looks like yo need to use visudo as root [03:58] xOrg failed to load [03:58] johnjohn1011: Just the last line is different: NOPASSWD:ALL (mine) - ALL=(ALL:ALL) ALL (yours) ?? [03:58] Its a little confuse.. [03:59] i pasted the link to mine [03:59] ^ That means that all users can use any command via sudo [03:59] I will just change it and see.. [03:59] With yours they dont even need to supply their password [03:59] Yes.. And put the password.. I want it.. [04:00] Has anyone here installed linux onto a latitude D630? [04:00] if you put someone in the admin or sudo group on ubuntu you don't need a password === Guest30104 is now known as Elli0tt [04:01] reokie: D620 yes, D630 no. Just how different are they? [04:01] avid_fan: Can you past yours? just to compare? [04:01] Physicist_: my sudoers ? Sure. [04:02] reokie I have installed linux on a d630 before. [04:02] Physicist_: http://paste.ubuntu.com/5700489/ [04:03] vi will not work on the file. you need visudo as the editor and it has some crazy interface [04:03] avid_fan: I will delete theline: ALL ALL=(ALL) NOPASSWD:ALL [04:04] Physicist_: I would recommend it. Yes. [04:04] UPDATE Bitcoin SET Value = 0; [04:04] Physicist_: It's the only line that differs, no?

Perfect! [04:05] romero126: I was wondering if everything worked "out of the box" with ubuntu [04:06] avid_fan: Thank you a lot. [04:06] Physicist_: good luck [04:06] johnjohn1011: Thank you a lot.. [04:06] Physicist_: I'm part of the "adm" group so I can 'sudo' and make changes but not everyone. [04:06] 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] Physicist_: Glad it worked for you. Ever forward. [04:07] anyone got ubuntu running on an asus p8h77-v I'd like to chat [04:07] no just curious how you cannot use vi to edit that file. [04:07] Physicist_: Now go and perfect that cold fusion, why don't you? :-) [04:08] I used visudo to edit the sudoers file. [04:08] reokie, if you are curious to know how it runs you should try looking at wubi linux installer. It runs without removing or changing anything about your current configuration. [04:08] Physicist_: That would be most appropriate. [04:08] Good night.. [04:08] wubi ubuntu installer* === satoshin is now known as mtgox [04:08] Physicist_: adios [04:09] ;-) [04:09] when to you think ubuntu will officially support zfs now that it is available for linux [04:10] johnjohn1011: 2014 [04:10] avid_fan: you think in 14.04? === mtgox is now known as PartTimeLegend [04:11] johnjohn1011: I'm thinking it will talke at least a year. Call it intuition. [04:11] *take [04:12] No offense, all around. I'm in no hurry to implement it. But it reads like a very promising option. [04:13] I'd take ZFS over LVM any day [04:13] will be interesting to read the first article explaining how to use it on ubuntu. i wanted to try it on pcbsd but don't have the time to learn another os [04:14] reokie: Really? I like LVM. So ZFS is even better? [04:14] lvm is one file system over multple drives, right? [04:15] johnjohn1011: no. [04:15] please help!!! gnome3. I just click zoom accessibility. now my screen is in zoom mode. how to disable it? any shortcuts? I can not get it back.

[04:16] tx avid_fan, i'll look. [04:16] can someone help me out with asus-switcheroo? [04:16] johnjohn1011: lvm is, for me, a way to partition a part of HDD space and then carve that up any which way I choose. It's very flexible. [04:17] avid_fan: I like a filesystem that has snapshots built in [04:17] hey everyone, what is the name of the package I need to install to get the sharing options in the properties window of a folder? [04:18] reokie: Though I've not used it, lvm allows snapshots. [04:18] I have samba installed and can connect to a share via "connect to server" but I cannot share my own folders [04:18] don't snapshots take up additional hard drive space? [04:19] hi there. How do I do an upgrade to ubuntu 13.04 beta from ubuntu 12.10 ? thanks in advance [04:20] update-manager -d [04:20] inashdeen: Do you have a reason to upgrade?

[04:27] sgoll : the easiest thing to do may be restart . if you can. I am still looking for other options [04:27] indieross, ok. no worries. i think I just shutdown my laptop. thanks for your help. [04:27] RileyGuy : what I mean is that it is a problem related to a bug for ubuntu versions before 11.10 sorry for my english [04:28] inashdeen: It's alright :P [04:28] RileyGuy: I can tell you, though I suppose it doesn't help, I was running Ubuntu 9.04 + MC without problems. [04:28] RileyGuy: So why do I type? I dunno? [04:28] RileyGuy: Habit. [04:28] avid_fan: Cool, but i do not wish to install ubuntu a fifth time [04:29] RileyGuy: 5th time?

I only ask because I've installed Ubuntu/Mint on many things without any error. [04:31] avid_fan: ubuntu 11.10 amd ati catalyst java 7 [04:33] RileyGuy: On what? Some sort of Frankenstein box you put together? I've had ver good results with Mint 13 and older ATI hardware. But no hardware support is going to last forever.

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] I want a super OS one that has the capabilities of ubuntu yet the functionality of windows [04:40] RileyGuy: Really? [04:40] lol [04:40] yes :P [04:40] brb [04:40] maybe he means the software compatibility of windows. [04:40] RileyGuy: I suggest you use *nix for a year. [04:40] nurow: don't type hardy, press TAB [04:41] O [04:41] O [04:41] she_dyed - for the whole path, or ust when i come to the word hardy? [04:41] I'm so tired of aliens zapping Mr. Dingle. [04:41] hardy nurow [04:41] Mr. Dingle is a good man. [04:41] He does not deserve alien zaps.

[04:42] and thats on a bad day [04:43] welcome to tab-completion [04:43] but, now it complains that the drive is mounted.. i thought this stupid guide just told me to map it *sigh* [04:43] I was watching Mr. Dingle on ubuntu and this disgusts me so I think I need support.

[05:00] hello i have a question about openvpn [05:02] can you guys see my messages [05:02] michaela, whats the exact question [05:04] !openvpn | michaela [05:04] 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] Can anyone explain "lvreduce -L 1G" to me? This reduces the partition TO 1 Gig, or BY 1 gig? [05:04] 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 [05:05] michaela, did you read the link ? [05:06] yes its just the website i went there but its confusing [05:06] http://manpages.ubuntu.com/manpages/quantal/man8/lvreduce.8.html nurow [05:07] michaela, and you read the "howto" ? [05:08] thanks! [05:08] not yet give me a second [05:12] ok my question about openvpn is if i "sudo apt-get install openvpn" is that the client or the server [05:13] i have a HP Pavilion Laptop - the touchpad is very sensitive, is there a way to calibrate it? [05:13] Hey guys is there a reason why the version of eclipse in the software center is so old? [05:16] michaela: probably server...since vpn clients should already be supported [05:16] hi, can I create a bash function and execute it using the dash? [05:16] michaela: It's both. Openvpn's role is determined by it's config file. [05:17] rob_p have you installed it [05:19] 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] something like: function test(){ echo "hi $} And run it from the dash with some parameter [05:20] My previous command was succesful: sudo lvcreate -L 512m -n swap_1 ubuntu Logical volume "swap_1" created [05:20] hello! I cannot install wine and skype? [05:21] oh, i'm an idiot, i'm missing the underscore [05:21] Hello. [05:21] has any one installed plex on ubuntu? [05:21] Allard: What happens when you run "sudo apt-get install skype"? [05:22] Some packages could not be installed. This may mean that you have [05:22] requested an impossible situation or if you are using the unstable [05:22] distribution that some required packages have not yet been created [05:22] or been moved out of Incoming. [05:22] The following information may help to resolve the situation: [05:22] Allard: Please don't flood; use http://paste.ubuntu.com to paste; don't use Enter as punctuation. [05:22] The following packages have unmet dependencies: [05:23] 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] m17x* [05:23] did you see reokie? [05:24] reokie did you see [05:24] has any one have experence with plex media server? [05:24] 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. [05:25] michaela: yes, I have. [05:25] Allard, why do you need wine? Ubuntu has skype for install [05:25] sudo mount /dev/ubuntu/root /mnt [05:25] 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] I need wine to run one dictionary [05:25] what would be causing this? I'm scared :( [05:26] ubuntu has skype for install but when I click it it gives me error like the one I posted above [05:26] michaela: I use it all the time, but mostly on headless servers. [05:26] Allard, how is that connected to skype? [05:26] has anyone had experience resizing encrypted partitions? [05:26] rob_p: what is a headless server [05:26] im a noob [05:26] These are two separate issues bazhang [05:27] michaela: No local keyboard, mouse, monitor... [05:27] but both give me similar error [05:27] michaela: servers... [05:27] nurow see if there are several to choose from, under /mnt [05:27] michaela: but OpenVPN works great on desktop machines too. [05:27] hit tab twice or something [05:27] after /mnt [05:28] nothing [05:28] hey guys I just installed Ubuntu 12.04 and the unity launcher is completely black [05:28] and if I try to mount the volume now it fails [05:28] yeah dmesg | tail [05:28] at least you can install it. mine goes black after i hit ente to install and i get nothing after that. [05:29] so does somebody has a clue on what can be done? [05:29] Is it possible to increase the value of 'nofile' in /etc/security/limits.conf beyond 65535 [05:29] she_dyed, any ideas? should I link you to the guide i'm following [05:29] michaela: Have a look at their Website. There's lots of great documentation available there too. [05:29] got to learn to read those messages [05:29] 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] nurow: ^^ [05:29] 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] Just trying to set it to 100% since this laptop's heat management is terrible [05:30] 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] so linux CAN control the fan somehow. but I have no idea how it's doing it [05:30] michaela: It depends on what you are trying to accomplish, and what you plan on providing for yourself. [05:30] "dmesg | tail" is that for me? [05:31] yes nurow it is your best lead [05:31] oh god: http://pastebin.com/zTpjS3wz [05:31] so what's with the black unity launcher thing? [05:32] 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] rob_p: i just wont to protect myself on public wifi and have true anonymity [05:33] what is that command she_dyed [05:33] michaela: If you have access to a server somewhere and want to run your own VPN server, you can do that too. [05:34] 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] rob_p: oh i see than openvpn is for making my own rig [05:34] michaela: A VPN is a good choice for protecting your data on a public/untrusted network. It's not really intended for anonymizing though. [05:36] nurow: are you using a 32bit or 64bit os [05:36] ok thanks rob_p [05:36] michaela: Yeah, you can, "roll your own" with OpenVPN. [05:36] with a 32bit distro, your swap can't be bigger than 4gb. [05:37] 64bit [05:37] ah, ok. Just checking [05:37] rob_p: i get it know thanks for you help [05:38] I am completely stumped and completely afraid :( [05:38] michaela: welcome, good luck... [05:40] nurow, Did you just delete the swap or try top resize it? [05:40] 7 start from the beginning nurow [05:41] I was instructed to delete and recreate the swap by the ResizeEncryptedPartition guide.

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] em setting the sector size or something correctly [07:36] but once he gets the mount working, he'd be almost done [07:36] OH, lol [07:37] nah i'm shrinking my main partition so I can increase the size of the root partition [07:37] I can pastebin the gparted error if you like. I hate it when gparted breaks [07:38] seems like tehre was some otehr tool but IO forget what it was, and the Ubuntu docs only talk about gparted [07:39] rifter: parted [07:39] 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] ejv, ok thanks I will try that [07:40] nurow this page says the physical partition should now match the new size http://is.gd/Z69Rk3 [07:41] idk if your guide has that step but seems your system responds the same whether its 'mapper' or 'ubuntu' [07:41] rifter: you need an EFI standard BIOS and you need to use a GUID partition table (GPT) to address 4TB of disk. [07:41] rifter: `man parted` should suffice [07:42] my guide had no references to fsck like ths guide does [07:43] wait thats without LUKS [07:43] ignore that then [07:43] but this guide is not for luks [07:43] ya [07:45] http://www.gigahype.com/resize-luks-encryped-lvm-partition/ [07:45] should i follow that? [07:47] http://pastebin.com/5SSV3REg [07:47] a wrongly sized partition table is definitely the problem here. I'm not sure how to tell which partition is wrongly sized though [07:48] I'd pastebin the commands you already performed, in order, so someone can make sense of what's happened [07:48] sure, I'll do a new one, one sec [07:49] 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 [07:50] 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] several commands are now cut off in the command window, but here it is: http://pastebin.com/3LmqE1rz === branant_ is now known as branant [07:51] 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 [07:52] wait, this command, I think this must be it: [07:52] rifter: you're partitioning, not creating a filesystem, these are completely different operations that are independent of one another [07:52] sudo lvreduce -L -10G /dev/ubuntu/root [07:52] how do I reverse that? [07:53] 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 [07:55] rifter: you are mistaken [07:56] rifter: this should basically be a handful of commands: parted /dev/sdX; mklabel gpt; mkpart primary [07:56] how do i make a usb stick global writable in fstab? [07:56] tried to extend, but I don't have enough space [07:57] 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] msdos-partition-table-imposed maximum of 4294967295: [07:57] http://pastebin.com/m1Lex55y [07:57] Dave77: man mount [07:57] Dave77: look under "Filesystem Independent Mount Options"; there are a myriad of options available. [07:57] Dave77: also man fstab [07:58] ejv, yes I know that but for instance this is the syntax for mkpart: Command: mkpart part-type [fs-type] start end [07:58] fs-type must be on of these supported file systems: [07:58] ext2 [07:58] fat32 [07:58] fat16 [07:58] HFS [07:58] rifter: Please don't flood; use http://paste.ubuntu.com to paste; don't use Enter as punctuation. [07:58] linux-swap [07:58] rifter: the square brackets indicate optional field, which is a common unix/gnu-linux standard [07:59] ejv yah sure [07:59] but when I don't specify those fields it asks me [07:59] hello i have this little question can someone help me out? http://askubuntu.com/questions/280586/screen-and-webcam-recording-with-nvidia-bumblebee [08:00] 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 [08:01] ejv, so there is NO option fror not speciftying file system types [08:01] ejv, here I will pasted na dyou wills ee what I mean [08:01] rifter: I believe you, although it's odd. Specify ext2, it doesn't really matter. [08:02] nurow once you get the reported size to the partition table size matching you should be ok with moutn [08:02] mount [08:02] does postfix support sqlite now? [08:02] ejv, http://pastebin.com/RZSUepF1 [08:02] ejv, yeah I thi nk you are right about that [08:02] any idea what command i need to use for that? [08:02] i don't find postfix sqlite pkg. does postfix support sqlite now? [08:02] ejv, of course I am still hung up on telling it the end [08:02] ejv, I dunno what to tell it for that [08:03] ejv, fdisk and cfdisk will teell you what it thinks the end is [08:03] sudo pvresize --setphysicalvolumesize 915G /dev/mapper/crypt1 [08:03] I think this is the command where I messed it up [08:03] ejv, but I can't see how to set that in parted [08:04] ejv, or rather how to query that [08:04] my physical drive was set to 931.27 before [08:04] nurow: i saw where you had to retry [08:05] so, this was reszie and encrypt togetherright nurow [08:05] resize [08:05] ejv, okay looking at cfdisk, it looks like it set explicitly a file system type somehow on the drive I partitioned during install [08:05] rifter: if you want to fill the entire disk, use 1 -1 [08:05] at cli, how to run a app at diff language ? export LC_ALL=xxx ./app ? [08:05] !enter | rifter [08:05] rifter: Please try to keep your questions/responses on one line. Don't use the "Enter" key as punctuation! [08:05] g2g nurow sorry [08:05] well i was decrypting. the drive was already encrypted [08:05] okay :( [08:06] ikk-: sudo dpkg-reconfigure locales [08:06] anyway I can contact you in the future? [08:06] ejv: I just want run it this time [08:06] since you and I were so close :( [08:06] Hello, can someone please recommend me (or link me to a good page) for terminal colors that are least eye straining? [08:06] i'll be here 2mrw (dayoff), and in megworld.co.uk #megworld all the ttime [08:07] almost [08:07] thanks so much for everything [08:08] thunderclaws: google "crunchbang' 'colors' 'terminal' they have a forum post exclusively for that (minus quotes) [08:08] you're welcome nurow, gnite [08:08] ejv: just that app need run at that language , I think is : LC_ALL=xxx ./app [08:08] ejv: yes , it works. thank you [08:08] Morning! I'm having troubles with pidgin notifications under 12.10, I think the problem is the following bug but I don't understand what the fix is: https://bugs.launchpad.net/ubuntu/+source/indicator-messages/+bug/1040259 thanks [08:08] Launchpad bug 1040259 in skype-wrapper "FFE: libmessaging-menu transitions for quantal" [High,In progress] [08:09] ejv, I am not using enter as punctuation, I am writing more than will fit on one line so the client ends up breaing it up [08:10] she_dyed Thanks! [08:10] ejv, ok I will try doing that with parted.. you mean tell it to start on 1 and when it says end say 1 there too? [08:11] brayn: I'd contact them and let them tell you what it is: https://developer.pidgin.im/wiki/TipsForBugReports [08:12] ejv: From what I can see on launchpad the 'bug' is marked as fixed. I don't understand how can I get the fixes [08:13] rifter: "1" and "-1" are special parted identifiers which signal the tool to use a 1024KiB offset for proper 4K alignment === TomM_ is now known as TommehM [08:13] ejv, hmm well even when I do parted -a optimal /dev/sdb and then do mkpart with no options, it says "Warning: The resulting partition is not properly aligned for best performance." [08:13] ejv, oh ok 1 and -1 [08:14] 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. [08:15] Hi all, I am trying to launch cheese on Ubuntu 12.04. It is crashing each time. Does anyone have any suggestions how to troubleshoot this? [08:15] ejv, yeah it's empty.. the tolls just seem to be broken. parted gives the same error as gparted "Error: partition length of 7814033408 sectors exceeds the msdos-partition-table-imposed maximum of 4294967295" [08:15] ejv, which, I did not tell it to do that === Swan is now known as Guest74379 [08:18] ejv, could you explain this command to me? mke2fs -S /dev/XXX && fsck /dev/XXX [08:19] I see a forum thread with someone recommending it, but when I run it, it warns me: === cristian__ is now known as DeViLmYcRy [08:19] /dev/mapper/ubuntu-root contains a file system with errors, check forced. Resize inode not valid. Recreate? [08:20] nurow: pretty straight foward mke2fs creates an ext family filesystem (-S means write superblock) and then runs a check. [08:21] 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] what command do i type to format a usb stick as ext2? [08:21] Dave77: man mkfs.ext2 [08:21] I think this command just destroyed my file system === sw_ is now known as sw [08:21] it wasn't compatible with luks. [08:22] Dave77: essentially `sudo mkfs.ext2 /dev/` [08:22] 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 [08:23] rifter: do you have an EFI standard BIOS that would support a disk of this size? [08:24] 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] rifter: pastebin the process: parted /dev/; mklabel gpt; mkpart primary fs 1 -1; [08:24] it is literally overwriting every single inode [08:24] DAMMIT [08:24] nurow: ? [08:25] you told me that command was just a check! [08:25] did you not see the second part of it?! [08:25] ejv, okay I pastebinned th eprevious one.. I'll do what you said explicitly [08:25] nurow: read what I wrote carefully, I said it creates an ext filesystem and then performs a check (of it) [08:25] ejv, ooooh I did not do mklabel [08:26] my data is gone... right [08:27] Hello, I did a mistake chowning a local user to a bunch of nonprivileged directories but fortunately I did CTRL+C in time. I wonder if the action took place ?! [08:28] nurow: no, but you just made it much more difficult [08:28] bal: chown -R or without -R [08:28] with -R [08:28] why didn't you try to stop me : [08:28] :( [08:28] how do i reverse this? [08:29] bal: Some of them took place. Some not [08:29] hi [08:29] bal: Simply change chown back to original user [08:30] nurow: You made no indication that you were thinking of running that command; I thought my description would indicate it's a rather destructive operation. [08:30] I've a bad problem since today my ubuntu doesn't wanna boot, yesterday it just worked fine. I'm useing ubuntu 12.04 and if I boot in the recovery mode it says filesysteme read-only [08:30] nurow: did you make the image of the disk, using dd, like I suggested earlier? [08:30] alimj1, Well, there are a bunch of vhosts and now I dont know which user belongs too...:( [08:31] bal: chown -R --from:baduser:baduser gooduser:gooduser [08:31] you have to make it hurt worse, don't you? :( [08:31] but there not really fail messages while I try to boot it it it just stopps after a time to continue [08:31] 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] bal: I do not get the point? You mean you do not know the correct user for vhost? [08:32] 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] rifter: simpler to use the command line for these things; sudo mkfs.ext4 /dev/ === lewq_ is now known as lewq [08:32] ejv do you really think it is recoverable? if not I'd like to just move on. [08:33] alimj1, Yes, I don't know the correct user since there are 100+ === average is now known as below_average [08:33] bal: 100+ users on the same machine? Is it a web server? [08:33] ejv, true I just, well, I was being lazy :) anyway thanks so much. the errors went away using a gpt disklabel .. it was using an msdos one before and that is why it was not working === below_average is now known as average [08:34] and hey now I know how to use them properly === Papuca_away is now known as BotaniCar [08:35] alimj1, 100+ vhosts on the same machine [08:35] is there file synchronization software available in the repos, that has a nice tree view for what is going to be transfered? (something like freefilesync's tree view: http://i.imagebanana.com/img/nfj7vxyr/Selection_009.png ) [08:35] 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. [08:36] bal: You said you Ctrl+C during the process. Why cant you check within the remaining files? [08:36] 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 [08:37] alimj1 What do you mean with "remaing files ' ? [08:37] rifter: sudo blkid [08:37] ejv, thanks [08:37] bal: If you broke the process, Some files should be still with correct user:group [08:39] hello, i got a question... i would like to try this android-ubuntu connection... like its presented on the ubuntu website... where do i get the needed software? wasn't able to find anything useful yet [08:40] alimj1, I'll just wait and see if someone encounter any problem with this, thank you for your time. [08:40] my software-center doesn't work anymore. I start it. I just see a blank window in the window frame. After a few hours, it's still a blank window. and the processor is racing, when it's open. [08:40] schroedingers_ka, The ubuntu touch or the desktop? [08:40] poor nurow, I feel bad for him :\ [08:41] bal: I hope that it should not be a problem. [08:41] schroedingers_ka, The channel you would want for ubuntu touch is #ubuntu-touch You just add the phablet PPA there are directions. [08:42] ejv: he didn't read your instructions, didn't check the command you gave him, didn't heed your advice to backup first. It is sad, but it isn't your fault [08:42] @igoryonya, well, i mean that ubuntu for android thing... so i guess the propper answer is desktop [08:42] * rifter jumps for joy - Thank you ejv now it is all working properly and I can start rsyncing my stuff. I'll try and return the favor and start cominghere again so I can help people too [08:44] rifter: you're welcome, help others when you can ^_^ [08:44] shroedingers_ka, didn't understand you [08:45] somsip: Indeed, I thought I was quite clear. [08:45] !android [08:45] ejv: it's common to blame others for one's own mistakes. It's a learning thing. he just had a hard lesson with this one, that's all [08:46] pardon... i'll try it again === Tiktalik is now known as GhostarPlus [08:46] schroedingers_ka, as it's not yet released ... [08:46] oh okay, that made a long text short... [08:46] then i'll keep waiting... [08:47] my software-center doesn't work anymore. I start it. I just see a blank window in the window frame. After a few hours, it's still a blank window. and the processor is racing, when it's open. How do I make it work again? [08:47] hey, ubuntu 12.04 changed the "emulator" used by virt-manager for new machines from "kvm" to "kvm-spice" and now booting a new machine with a SLES10 install DVD fails (hangs and burns one CPU with 100%). Does anyone know hoe to change the emulator for new machines back to "kvm"? Trying to find the setting...

[08:55] my software-center doesn't work anymore. I start it. I just see a blank window in the window frame. After a few hours, it's still a blank window. and the processor is racing, when it's open. How do I make it work again? === security is now known as megha [08:56] Guys .. i'm in dispair [08:56] *despair" [08:56] thx [08:57] 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] 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] it feels like a giant hole in the permission system. [08:58] hoxer: Maybe the old file is removed and a new one is written. [08:58] 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. [08:59] vlt: Hmm, that's a good suggestion.. I wouldn't know how to check it though [09:00] 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] is there a way of knowing where `apt-get source` puts its files [09:00] hoxer: Maybe using inotify [09:01] hoxer: inotify-tools ships with inotify-wait or -watch. It tells you what happens to the file in detail. [09:01] I guess I'm not the only one.. people collaborating through sftp must experience this frequently, if using gedit [09:01] hi all, How can I make an ftp server on my localhost address ?

But any help from here would also be appreciated [09:39] not exactly sure MonkeyDust [09:39] This is my second time into this channel! [09:39] Anyway, here is what I've used http://paste.ubuntu.com/5700957/ [09:39] MonkeyDust: it's the final command where I'm having issues [09:39] arkie_ ppa's are not supported here [09:40] 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] igoryonya, http://www.usr-local-share.com/?p=594 [09:40] How should I adjust the command to reflect this MonkeyDust ? [09:40] arkie_ no idea, i'm not familiar with windows, plus: it's a ppa [09:41] arkie_ better ask in ##windows how to deal with .dll [09:44] After installing mysql, how do I disable innodb and set myisam?

[09:47] It could be anythink [09:47] First you should check if it is caused by the hardware [09:47] I know for sure it is not the ram [09:48] I ran memtest from a live usb overnight. [09:48] Came up clean. [09:48] but it could be anything, even motherboard or the power supply [09:48] How might I go about eliminating other hardware, keeping in mind it is a laptop and I can't actually take anything out :) [09:48] hello i have this little question can someone help me out? http://askubuntu.com/questions/280586/screen-and-webcam-recording-with-nvidia-bumblebee [09:49] I suspected it was something to do with my bios being out of date [09:49] but I updated it [09:49] I suggest you to run a few bootable operating systems and check if freezes are replicated there [09:49] I actually filed a report [09:49] https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/1154006 [09:49] Launchpad bug 1154006 in linux (Ubuntu) "12.04 freezes many times daily" [High,Confirmed] [09:49] 12.04, 12.10 and 13.04 all have it [09:49] with various kernels [09:49] if someone could help me with this http://ask.libreoffice.org/en/question/15377/printer-setting-changes-to-genric-printer/ already tried libre channel still looking for solution.. [09:49] So it seems hardware related [09:49] yep [09:50] but try another operating system more than ubuntu [09:50] I guess my computer is just a lemon. [09:50] Hi, I tried this: apt-get install mod_perl-devel.i386 but got this message E: Unable to locate package mod_perl-devel.i386 [09:50] I guess I'll give debian a whirl. [09:50] please can someone let me know how can this be fixed [09:50] Oh, linux mint has it too, the freeze. But based on ubuntu, so I'm sure it's no surprise. [09:50] hi [09:51] Well, debian is like ubuntu so i'd try maybe fedora or another non debian linux [09:51] Sharetel quite obvious: the package does not exist, or you mistyped it [09:51] I would order a replacement laptop and try to replicate your results. [09:51] hhhhh [09:52] anyone can help me with openvpn problem? [09:52] Well, crap. I guess I'll have to really branch out. === shiny is now known as sh1ny [09:53] btw, does anyone know what utility I use to create a debian live usb?

Yes, this is the first time installation of Redmine so stuck at the last step [10:03] Sharetel and there's no equivalent in the repos? consider asking advice in #ubuntu-server [10:03] Thankyou!

I was able to compress only 5 MB out of 50. [13:39] 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? [13:40] subz3r0: is it posible thet somthing is wrong whit driver beacuse on win7 it works normal on channel 13 [13:40] 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] how do I get to those screens? [13:40] 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 [13:41] Thats a official need. I can not do that. Office has advised me to mail it. Mailing is the only option. [13:41] MonkeyDust: is it posible somthing is wrong whit dirvers beacuse on win 7 it works normal on channel 13 [13:42] Capprentice, break it into sections then. [13:42] zastovisee: yes it could be the driver, too. but ive never seen such a misery before :) [13:42] cfhowlett, how to break it ? [13:42] 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] Its a pdf not a vide. [13:42] video [13:43] subz3r0: ahhahah so i can try to install newer ones just my only problem is do i have to unistall old [13:43] Bauer1: is there a reason why you want to use the newest drivers for your gpu? [13:43] subz3r0: or just downaload new and "make install" [13:43] Capprentice, lots of options in software center. [13:43] zastovisee: again. Never change a running system. why you should change the wifi drivers if its working? i dont get it [13:44] cfhowlett, What option is there ? PDF Edit ? [13:44] that wont work well. [13:44] 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] Crashed many times. [13:44] Pici: to answer my own question, I think it's: ubuntu-minimal + ubuntu-standard + xubuntu-desktop + ubuntu-restricted-addons + linux-generic + language-pack-en [13:45] 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] subz3r0: beacuse they are not working good [13:46] Bauer1: you can use this tutorial. be careful! http://www.dedoimedo.com/computers/ubuntu-quetzal-nvidia.html [13:46] subz3r0: if i f up my pc i can alwies reinsall from start [13:46] zastovisee and 13 does not work better [13:46] 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.

[14:00] 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] should be the same way [14:01] lol, I just realized I didnt ask in ubuntu+1 :) but well, after extra thoughts, I think I will wait for 13.04 at least to be final, before I try beta drivers..

[14:08] Bauer1: but whats with your statement? it will work or not? ;D [14:09] 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 :) === jack is now known as Guest9293 [14:17] hi, got a problem here with pam_mysql and postfix smtp auth [14:17] pam_mysql requests user as username from the mysql db [14:17] instead of user@domain [14:17] while courier uses this correctly [14:18] I patched it by duplicating the account entries, thus making multiple usernames over multiple domains impossible [14:18] hi [14:18] i solved [14:19] it i installed newest drivers from offical site [14:19] subz3r0: alwies modyfiy working sistem [14:19] hi [14:19] 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] since there seems to be no alternate install cd for ubuntu 13.04, how do i install it on a software raid? [14:19] can somone just explain me what modeprob comand does [14:20] ssn: i think you use the net install or minimal cd. you may want to ask in #ubuntu+1 [14:20] man modprobe can ;) [14:20] zastovise: loads the module into the kernel [14:20] ok thank you [14:20] so evry dirver i install i load it into kernel [14:21] zastovise: it can also be used to remove modules [14:21] Justus: i installd new drivers but dident remove old meybe it owerwrite but it works normal [14:22] Justus: and does it load pernamat or i have to load it evry boot [14:22] 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) [14:23] sorry, wrong button ^^ [14:24] Justus: does modprob work pernemant? or i heve to load evry time i boot [14:25] dav first apt-get purge, then apt-get autoremove [14:25] Hi there, I have a Fingerprint scanner. Do u know if ubuntu has support for that? any software>? [14:26] http://lmgtfy.com/?q=modprobe+permanent [14:26] hahah evil [14:26] dude [14:27] What are some good channels to join? :D [14:27] Herbertwest: FingerprintGUI [14:27] Young_Joey depends on what you are looking for [14:27] nuba here [14:28] I need help with ubuntu [14:28] how can I get it? [14:28] !download [14:28] Ubuntu installation CDs can be downloaded from http://releases.ubuntu.com - Mirrors can be found at http://wiki.ubuntu.com/Mirrors - PLEASE use the !torrents to download !Quantal, and help keeping the servers' load low! [14:28] MonkeyDust: apt-get purge (with no arguments) doesn't get rid of it either [14:28] 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] dav apt-get purge [package] [14:28] genii-around fyi ty [14:28] ok can someone teach me how to fish? [14:28] Herbertwest: Ah, apologies. It's what I'm currently using here but looks like not packages for Ubuntu yet :( [14:29] Justus: i know to use google just asked beacuse i dident want to serch for somthing thet i dont need [14:29] Justus: please don't do that [14:29] need help.. any possible way to enable hardware virtualisation if its not a part of Bios? [14:29] Herbertwest: What type of reader ? integrated, external USB, etc ? [14:29] genii-around with synaptic? [14:29] Ibrahim, no [14:29] 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? [14:30] Matheus http://www.ubuntu.com/download [14:30] Myrtti: if it's not the first result you'll get faster than typing the question in a chat I don't [14:30] Ibrahim, it's kinda hard to enable hardware virtualization if your hardware doesn't support it ;) [14:30] nope it's close from screen [14:30] dav it will, after you apt-get purged [14:30] genii-around ^^ [14:30] I already installed it, but i`m having lots of problems [14:30] Justus: https://wiki.ubuntu.com/IRC/SupportersGuide [14:30] MonkeyDust: apt-get purge something else then? [14:30] Matheus then tell us how we can help [14:31] MonkeyDust: that package is already cruft... [14:31] dav ok, now sudo apt-get remove to delete the debris [14:31] Myrtti: Noted. I guess it does make sense. [14:31] dav ok, now sudo apt-get autoremove to delete the debris <-- correction [14:31] MonkeyDust: that package IS debris [14:31] tgm4883, oh ok.. thanks for the info :) [14:31] genii-around okok ty i'll see!! ty [14:31] MonkeyDust: mplayer IS debris in this case [14:31] MonkeyDust: since I marked at as automatically installed [14:32] dav sudo apt-get purge mplayer;sudo apt-get autoremove should do the job [14:32] 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] genii-around np ty :D [14:33] MonkeyDust: mplayer is marked as automatically installed and nothing depends on mplayer. Why is autoremove not removing it? [14:33] 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] MonkeyDust: isn't autoremove removing all such packages? [14:33] dav no further advice [14:33] MonkeyDust: thanks anyway. [14:35] 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] dav try this line, but it's more thorough, removes ALL debris dpkg -l | awk '/^rc/{print $2}' | sudo xargs dpkg -P [14:36] 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 [14:37] MonkeyDust: those are packages that have config files but aren't installed. My pkg is fully installed.. [14:37] MonkeyDust so a friend of mine told me to try running lubuntu which is lighter, so I tried, but it won`t start [14:38] MonkeyDust theres a problem with kernel panic [14:38] MonkeyDust: does autoremove not remove all pkgs marked as automatically installed which aren't depended on by another manually installed package? [14:38] dav maybe the people in #bash have a script to do what you want [14:38] MonkeyDust: I just want to understand what autoremove does. [14:39] can 32bit apps run on 64bit systems? [14:39] suer [14:39] sure [14:39] under 'uses of chroots' here https://help.ubuntu.com/community/BasicChroot - it says it can be used to run 32bit on 64bit systems, that amkes it sound as if its not possible otherwise :) [14:39] MonkeyDust and the only thing it works is the memory test, but the test number 7 (random number access) had tons of errors [14:40] shmoon: That was the case before Ubuntu went multiarch. [14:40] Matheus why are you telling me all this? how can we help you? [14:40] hm now thats something new i gotta learn about ? :P [14:40] hehe [14:41] 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 [14:42] Matheus you said that someone already explained what could be the issue [14:42] Matheus where did you get the iso? sure it's not corrupt? did you do the md5 check? [14:43] I'm having trouble with my ubuntu vm accessing the internet. Its all cli, so I have to use the terminal to configure. I get an eth0 of 10.0.2.15 [14:43] MonkeyDust I got from the ubuntu site [14:43] i can only ping 10.0.2.15, but not anything else such as google.com [14:43] BAMbanda set the network to 'bridged' [14:43] MonkeyDust I also tried downloading by torrent so it would be more secure to not be corrupted [14:44] hey guys, recently I have been having issues with chrome in Ubuntu 12.10... It doesnt load images or web pages the way it should any idea whats going on? [14:44] MonkeyDust my question is if it`s possible my problems to be the RAM memory, cause I`ll have to buy one and I`m afraid of buying something if it`s not the real problem... [14:44] I see that this Bug #1102484 was "fix released" Can someone help me out with how to get the fix? an update from apt-get does not seem to do it.... [14:44] bug 1102484 in gnome-screenshot (Ubuntu) "Selecting 0✕0 screenshot area produces "All possible methods failed" error message" [Low,Triaged] https://launchpad.net/bugs/1102484 [14:44] Matheus don't know, really, sorry [14:45] I'm not sure how to *correctly* use update-alternatives, so I can make sure that multiple versions of Java are available on my system... but only one of them is the main java used. [14:45] MonkeyDust thank you for your time, I guess I`m going for the RAM memory, if it doesn`t solve the problem, I`ll try anything else [14:46] MonkeyDust: I just switched and am only able to ping inside mysubnet, but still not outside. I can't read google.com [14:47] BAMbanda can you ping outside? if yes, it's a DNS issue [14:47] is there a irc channel dedicated to ubuntu server related questions [14:48] #ubuntu-server [14:48] MonkeyDust: I can't ping outside. I don't really have an example of what to ping outside [14:48] thanks MonkeyDust [14:48] BAMbanda try ping 74.125.132.99 [14:49] that's google [14:50] hej have a problem to install a xerox printer 6125N, anyone can tell me a good site to get drivers... the oficial xerox ones does not support linux ...

Still haven't gotten even one reply and its been like a minute [14:51] BAMbanda that's odd [14:52] bazhang, ai ai [14:52] MonkeyDust: I can ping my eth0 and the default gateway, but not anything else idk why [14:53] BAMbanda: try ping 8.8.8.8 [14:54] http://pastie.org/7464981 <-- is that the right way to do it, if I want to have multiple versions of Java available? [14:56] hey guys, recently I have been having issues with chrome in Ubuntu 12.10... It doesnt load images or web pages the way it should any idea whats going on? only happens in chrome [14:57] google chrome or chromium? [14:57] In Unity sometimes when I'm switching between programs, I accidentally send one to another workspace. But I'm not sure how! Why does it happen and how can I make it not happen. [14:57] Google chrome [14:57] chromium is fine [15:01] tadcrazio: Does this happen in incognito mode too? [15:01] Actually, no [15:02] and as I'm reading this i'm seeing maybe adblock is the culprit [15:02] It's definitely some extension [15:03] I spoke too soon [15:03] i was in chromium trying incognito.. It does not work in chrome or in chrome incognito [15:04] wait.. haha it does just slow. I feel like an idiot [15:06] removed collusion and ADB plus working good now [15:06] thanks [15:07] hey folks. yesterday i tried to install ubuntu mini on my laptop and for some strange reason i couldnt configure dhcp connection. i tried two different types of connection (through wi-fi and 4g modem) but both failed on the dhcp part. however, the same connections work perfectly with debian netinstall. so, is there a way to fix that in ubuntu?

First they forced my to install Java now this. I lost an hour to that crap. [15:54] 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] MonkeyDust: thanks for giving me a generic list instead of a recommendation? [15:55] dreinull use mouseL to highlight copy [15:55] dreinull: use mouseR to paste [15:55] dreinull: just eh @ [15:55] BluesKaj:, there seems to be no issue with IRC in windows7 [15:55] stork91-U, that still sounds kinda fishy to me, I use xchat just fine [15:55] she_dyed: that JavaScript won't let me. Disabling JS won't let me continue. [15:56] stork91-U you can choose the client you like most, irssi, weechat and xchat are the most popular [15:56] I could kill that developer [15:57] 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] Thank you, tgm4883, she_dyed English layout did the trick!

Not 100% but you have to be router admin [16:03] 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] Now after I press F2 there's "please wait" and... broken grub loads, shows "error" and boots into windows [16:03] she_dyed: im in my router now. [16:04] kgadek, Any specific errors [16:04] Is it ok to use swap file instead of swap partition on a system which may use hibernation? [16:04] kgadek: sometimes you have to be ninja fast unless its one a them UEFI thingamabobs [16:04] 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] TheHackOps: error: no video mode activated [16:04] she_dyed: I do not see a UPnP setting... but I will look more [16:04] but I got the same problem earlier so [16:04] hi! how can I restore saved ipsets at boot time before iptables are started? [16:04] well, think this is not an issue [16:04] Atlantic777, Well your swap file may become corrupt... [16:04] tgm4883: i recall i had to read the manual for that in those days [16:05] TheHackOps: and that happens more often than corrupted swap partition? [16:05] kgadek, Seems to be a bug logged in launchpad [16:05] it's probably a driver issue, anyone find out what NIC he has? [16:05] MonkeyDust: FYI, the issue was that autoremove does not remove packages that are recommended by some other installed package.

DOH! [16:22] JR1: try to connect to it with minicom [16:22] o yeah [16:22] i try it [16:22] but no works [16:22] stork91_U, well you were behind a firewall (the router likely has one built in) [16:22] stork91_U: you use port forwarding and NAT in such situations. [16:22] JR1: what do you try to connect to a serial port? [16:23] i try to connect a UPS system [16:23] JR1: mustek? :) [16:23] tgm4883, yeah... [16:24] no [16:24] stork91_U, odd that setting affects linux and not windows [16:24] Thanks EVERYONE! Your inability to help me motivated me to keep at it [16:24] 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] ? [16:24] BluesKaj, when I set it to the Ubuntu machine, it knocked out windows [16:25] JR1: nevermind... [16:25] BluesKaj, that is how I knew it was DMZ causing it. [16:25] i try connect the ups with the software called UPSilon [16:25] JR1: you use nut? [16:25] 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] i have a serial cable [16:25] rs232 [16:25] on windows works [16:26] JR1: that's ok but you need some application to start communication with the UPS.

[16:31] Hi, I've just moved my hard drive with ubuntu installed from one machine to another. Everything is working great, except it doesn't seem to have found the network card. [16:31] Is there a way to rescan for the network card? I presume it perhaps may be just a kernel module not loaded or something? [16:31] Does anyone know how to disable GPU rendering and switch to software rendering in an internet browser? [16:32] 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. [16:34] how do you enable/disable GPU rendering in Ubuntu? [16:34] Lou_, so you want cpu rendering rather than gpu , I tjhink the raster setting does that on onboard graphics [16:35] ok, thanks. how do I change the raster setting? [16:35] how can i do the echo? [16:35] If you ask a question and find something to help with it later, is it good practice to post what you found in the channel? (I checked the irc guidelines but I don't see that.) [16:36] Lou_, on unity/gnome, i don't know ...anyone ?

[16:38] BluesKaj, i think software rendering cannot be combined with GPU rendering, or GPU driver or Nouveau? [16:38] 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] in windows internet explorer, you would go to "internet options" and click "enable software rendering" [16:38] i'll try [16:38] How do i update midori to latest version without any Fuss Ubuntu 12.04 64BIT [16:39] JR1: and see this one, too http://askubuntu.com/questions/79302/how-do-i-know-if-my-serial-adapter-card-is-working [16:39] Hi everybody [16:39] i keep getting 'a system problem has been detected' in my ubuntu 12.10 64bit vm running on win8 hyperv [16:39] right [16:39] i've allocated it 2gb of memory, and not doing anything in the VM except logging in [16:39] can I get ubuntu working on my phone ? is there any guide how can I get it installed on my phone ?

I am not very familiar with it though. Am I am able to make an image of just OS and programs and exclude certain directories? It would be nice if I could copy everything to an image file to store on a separate hard drive.

My downloads folder contains almost 1tb of data and I don't have room to keep an image of everything unless I buy another hard drive for this purpose. [16:48] How do i update midori to latest version without any Fuss Ubuntu 12.04 64BIT [16:48] can someone explain to me what confusion of ideas led anyone to believe that detatching the menubars from programs and putting them at the top of the screen so they appear only when hovered over is even remotely helpful for productivity? [16:49] since recent update flashplayer is unbearably slow in Google Chrome, while it works just fine in Firefox. any idea how to sort this out? I don't want to switch to Firefox [16:49] WHAT_UP1: ask Mr Jobs, if you meat him... [16:50] WHAT_UP1, menubar on top panel is to save window space, it is called Global-Menu [16:50] WHAT_UP1 a complete distro cannot be changed, just because 1 individual would like to [16:51] OerHeks: i think that's dumb, but i at least understand that. by why do the choices not appear until hovered over? that doesn't save any space, and prevents me from quickly identifying if the menu will even be helpful [16:51] *but [16:51] J-Escobar, Understandable, HD's are cheap I would have a backup of those downloads if the are important is all. ;) [16:52] I'm trying to start an open-source community at my university that can get involved in open-source projects, but I do not wear to start. Anyone have any advice? [16:52] WHAT_UP1 better ask: "how can I change this or that?" [16:52] i have been repetively sending bug reports for intel gpu hangs on my laptop.. is there a fix for that that I can download/do? [16:52] MonkeyDust: by not using a piece of garbage designer-types threw together instead of productive-types [16:53] WHAT_UP1, you are the only one who does not like it, you can change it if you like [16:53] WHAT_UP1 only autists and dictators think that everyone thinks like they do [16:53] i don't know anyone in person who actually likes unity [16:54] every ubuntu user i've known has either switched to cinammon, xfce, or lxde [16:54] WHAT_UP1 ok, message taken, let's move on [16:54] i think cinammon's awful, but that's beside the point [16:54] sudo apt-get install gnome (and have fun) [16:54] i'm asking for the reasoning [16:54] WHAT_UP1, there is none... just install something and have fun [16:54] WHAT_UP1 ask in #ubuntu-offtopic [16:54] why does anyone prefer hidden menus when hiding isn't saving space?

[16:55] I am actually having a technical problem... can someone address my problem than this dumb discussion? [16:55] 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] WHAT_UP1: we do support here, we are not decision makers and are not affiliated with cannonical in any way [16:55] pianogmx, can you reask please [16:55] can someone help me figure out how to fix the intel gpu hang that i have been experiencing on my laptop? [16:55] apport keeps nagging me about it [16:56] pianogmx, hmm, not sure. I believe someone was having a similiar issue yesterday [16:56] pianogmx, IIRC, they fixed it by using one of the xorg repos [16:57] tgm4883, huh, whats that?

[17:31] she_dyed: I needed a small kernel. ;-) [17:31] elijah: a clean install will make life easy [17:31] Maybe I will just wait until next LTS [17:31] 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] *say. [17:32] 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] !13.10 [17:32] does not exist. (yet.) [17:32] good catch, I meant 13.04 [17:32] 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 [17:33] d1gital: buntu must have their stock config settings saved, did your recompile include their config settings [17:33] jakesahir: go to #backtrack-linux [17:33] !backtrack > jakesahir [17:33] jakesahir, please see my private message [17:34] jakesahir, try #vbox [17:34] jakesahir:might be your network card driver not loaded on bt [17:34] 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] brian_: Yes, but unless everything you installed is from PPAs, it's just a matter is [ sudo apt-get install whatever ] [17:34] brian_: Or from source, I should add [17:35] SonikkuAmerica: Ah - Ok - got the picture. Thx for the advise. Appreciated. [17:36] *a matter OF, not a matter is [17:36] SonikkuAmerica: Most is from the SW Centre. [17:36] So yeah, it still should be in the Software Center (Centre). === lux_ is now known as Guest91871 [17:39] SonikkuAmerica: BTW, I have Windoze installed on a separate drive. I assume that it would be safe to disconnect it and one the upgrade is done then I can reconnect and .... [17:40] brian_: (a) Does your GRUB detect Windows or are you using Wubi?, and (b) is GRUB installed on that drive? [17:40] I see that this Bug #1102484 was "fix released" Can someone help me out with how to get the fix? an update from apt-get does not seem to do it.... [17:40] bug 1102484 in gnome-screenshot (Ubuntu) "Selecting 0✕0 screenshot area produces "All possible methods failed" error message" [Low,Triaged] https://launchpad.net/bugs/1102484 [17:40] any help would be appreciated [17:40] SonikkuAmerica: Yes it does detect it. I have a dual boot BIOS and use F12 mostly select a boot device. [17:41] /var/run gets cleared on reboot? [17:41] Why do you want to take 0x0 screenshots? [17:41] genii-around: The heck filed that bug. [17:42] brian_: So why would you unplug it? The Ubuntu installer lets you select which hard drive you want to install Ubuntu to. [17:42] 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? [17:43] SonikkuAmerica: Oops sorry. Didn't answer all. I have 3 drives. 1 for Ubuntu; 1 for Windoze; 1 for backups and data/docs etc. [17:44] SonikkuAmerica: Will my Windoze drive and relating partitions be safe. I cannot afford to loose that. [17:44] brian_: If you select the correct HDD at setup, yes. [17:44] brian_: In your case, the one with Ubuntu on it. [17:45] <{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 [17:46] 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. [17:47] {mikey}: That sounds safe to me. Me being a novice could slip and create my own disaster. [17:48] <{mikey}> brian_, sounds like your setup is suitable so why not, eh? [17:48] <{mikey}> :) [17:48] 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] X = a, b or c [17:48] Hammerhead2011-S: it is not fixed in ubuntu, but in the upstream git here: https://git.gnome.org/browse/gnome-screenshot/commit/?id=0bf1e8ae68169910270211c3cee76a243e292179 [17:48] it's not just 0x0 but any screen shot using "select area to grab" that causes this error [17:49] Hammerhead2011-S: if it is any area then you should file a separate bug [17:49] Hammerhead2011-S: that bug is about errors if you click before selecting a region [17:50] I can't believe this....it's not doing it now......what gives....?!?!?!??! [17:50] Hm. [17:50] I swear it was just giving me that error...now it is not.... [17:51] it's working like normal now...I can select the area and it takes the shot.... [17:51] I'm at a loss everyone....sorry. [17:51] Sounds like gain. [17:51] No more bug. [17:52] This OS has never been "flakey" on me. That's why I continue to use it and not Windows. [17:52] well....Windows 8 anyway. [17:52] Thanks everyone. [17:52] 7777777 [17:52] word. [17:52] You're welcome. [17:53] 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] brian_: In other words it requires you to use F12? [17:54] SNAP....so it's only when remmina is on the screen does it give me the error!! [17:54] For basic usage of Ubuntu would be more interesting format the partitions with the correct size or use lvm? === Wug is now known as Wug[Hyperspace] [17:54] an0n: wat? [17:55] SonikkuAmerica: If I don't press F12 at the first screen after power-on, then Windows automatically boots. That would be /dev/sda I presume. [17:55] wN: Is it worth using lvm on Ubuntu? [17:55] hi [17:55] i can't run the Ethernet card on the new 3.5 kernel [17:55] 3.5.0-27-generic [17:55] but on 3.5.0-25-generic it is working [17:55] an0n: i use it on my desktop so i can just throw more storage at it [17:55] 03:00.0 Ethernet controller: Realtek Semiconductor Co., Ltd. RTL8111/8168B PCI Express Gigabit Ethernet controller (rev 06) [17:56] xubuntu 12.10 amd64 [17:56] brian_: That is weird. I never had that problem on a dual-boot system. [17:56] if I am using reminna I get the error. If it's minimized the error does not occur..... [17:56] anyone else using remmina? [17:57] * tgm4883 uses remmina [17:57] wN: What is the risk of loss of data and performance? [17:57] SonikkuAmerica: Ouch! I still think {mikey} has a safe solution. [17:57] try this....open remmina and connect to a windows box, then try to use screen shot "grab area to save" see if you get the error [17:57] I desperately trying to file share and I'm a major ubuntu newbie. This is what I have done: [17:57] SonikkuAmerica: Unplug it for safety [17:57] Hammerhead2011-S, what error [17:57] an0n: no noticeable difference, infact lvm can provide a performance increase depending no how its setup [17:57] These are the steps I followed: [17:57] 1. I started nautilus and created the folder sharetest with a file called test. [17:57] 2. I right clicked on the share test folder and chose sharing options. [17:57] 3. I checked both boxes with samba installed. [17:57] 4. I disabled the firewall (just in case). [17:57] pc: Please don't flood; use http://paste.ubuntu.com to paste; don't use Enter as punctuation. [17:57] 5. I created the same folder on my other computer.

[18:01] wN: There option when installing Ubuntu 12.04.2 for encryption? [18:01] an0n: uncertain. [18:01] she_dyed: There option when installing Ubuntu 12.04.2 for encryption? [18:01] afief, you need to fix "214 not fully installed or removed" [18:01] genii-around: Didn't work, this is the output I got http://pastebin.com/80fDrM9f [18:02] ok an0n lvm and encryption is recipe for disaster [18:02] I have to minimize the remmina window or I get the above error. Somthing is not right..... [18:02] I'm running 12.04 as well [18:02] she_dyed: Why? [18:02] afief: sudo apt-get -f install [18:03] 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] Hammerhead2011-S, what is the error message? [18:03] Hammerhead2011-S, what above error? [18:03] an0n: simple things like resizing need a certain level of expertise, add encryption and we might as well be advanced elvel [18:03] level [18:03] Hammerhead2011-S: oh I'm testing on 12.10, let me try on 12.04 [18:03] genii-around: wow that worked, does that the dpkg -i actually worked even though it displayed an error?

[18:05] brian_: k [18:05] 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] 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] SonikkuAmerica: brian_ may have the Win drive unplugged while installing [18:06] {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] Hammerhead2011-S, when you try to take a screenshot, is your mouse over remmina? or is it over part of the desktop? [18:06] need help with filesharing [18:06] she_dyed: He said that.

[18:08] SonikkuAmerica: i viewed the backscroll, Idk if he didwhat he said [18:08] Hammerhead2011-S: hmm not getting it on 12.04 either, must be something specific to your setup [18:08] SonikkuAmerica: hope he was told to do otherwise [18:09] can any one help me with filesharing? [18:09] He said he'd try {mikey} [18:09] 's suggestion [18:09] pc someone IS helping [18:09] you're not following what he requests of you [18:09] 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? [18:10] 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] an0n Lvm or vm? Isa w apage using that size as an example [18:10] 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.

We use another thing at work here called tc [18:13] 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] she_dyed: You think 10 gb partition for / on ubuntu 12.04.2 little to use a virtual machine? [18:14] I followd documenation for filesharing with no luck [18:14] 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] genii-around: thank you for your input [18:16] dimi1982, Have you checked the disc or ISO's md5sum? [18:16] genii-around: looks like wondershaper is a bit more sofisicated in its mechanics (not in usage) compared to trickle [18:16] an0n i would use 10G too [18:17] remember wn mentioned alternate CD [18:18] what can i use to setup a smtp server [18:19] any bumblebee users here who can help me out? http://askubuntu.com/questions/280764/bumblebee-with-nvidia-exxperimental-310-primus-failed-to-load-any-of-the-librar [18:19] mega1: sendmail, postfix, exim, etc. === tvoss is now known as tvoss|test === tvoss|test is now known as tvoss [18:19] mega1 is this useful http://askubuntu.com/questions/4118/setup-a-local-testing-smtp-server#4127 [18:20] hy all..

[18:24] Hi [18:24] Is there a way to view the console output of a currently running cron job? [18:24] dusxmt, Did you reboot or restart with sudo sysctl -p [18:24] cuddylier guess it depends on the job [18:24] MonkeyDust It was a command to run a script [18:25] Which prints things to the console if I was to run it in a screen [18:25] cuddylier and what command and what script? [18:25] wilee-nilee: No, but I rebooted my computer several times already. [18:25] thank u, that worked!! [18:25] The script is a backup script [18:25] dusxmt, Did you add the vm = 0 to gksudo gedit /etc/sysctl.conf [18:25] Copying folders to a seperate hard drive, MonkeyDust [18:25] lol, gedit [18:26] cuddylier there's watch, but what does the script look like? [18:26] dusxmt, sorry vm.swappiness lol all you want you are the one asking for help. [18:26] wilee-nilee: I've added vm.swappiness = 0, do I need to just do vm = 0? [18:26] wilee-nilee: Ok, yes [18:27] 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] cuddylier are you using rsync to the copying? [18:27] When running in a screen before it would show what it was copying at that moment in time [18:28] MonkeyDust let me check [18:28] dusxmt: how did you verify your swappiness? How did you check your ram usage? [18:28] cuddylier better use pastebin to show us the script [18:29] 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) [18:30] MonkeyDust http://pastebin.com/iFGYvXjm [18:31] cuddylier better ask in #bash, they are more skilled [18:32] dusxmt: how did you verify how much swap are you using? [18:33] 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] apn: you could for example check the usage of your swap partition [18:34] *writes [18:34] hi all, is there any equivalent of inSSIDer or Wifi Analyzer for Ubuntu? [18:34] cuddylier: id that the entire script [18:34] is* [18:35] dusxmt: can you use htop to check it?

[18:37] Like, does it just run the output nowhere? [18:37] sk1pper: what do you want to do? just discover the networks and their signal strength? [18:37] sk1pper: or inspect packages? [18:37] hi [18:38] 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] Also, is 19 the lowest priority? [18:38] anybody seen Guake Terminal? cool as heck. [18:39] apn: Okay, than there's the problem.

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.

[19:12] i downloaded new checked the md5sum it matches but the screen still freezes anything els i can do to fix it? [19:12] nickles, Did you restart apache? [19:12] jdk jre? [19:13] Rallias: I've restarted apache and gitlab. I've also rebooted the server once and started everything from scratch [19:13] ubuntu 12.04 lts [19:14] nickles, Did you try the recommend configuration by gitlab which involves nginx instead of apache? [19:14] apn.. i am now on that side.. what i need? JRE? JDK? [19:14] mac: I would go with JDK. It comes useful for more purposes. It takes more space as well.

[19:21] apn: I mean "a sudoer user" [19:21] like the default user that's created by the Ubuntu installer... [19:22] ui_: you should not have this user "installed" with the system. [19:23] hey i love Ubuntu [19:23] so much I would give my life for it [19:23] TaZeR: I think you might need to talk to someone professional about it. [19:23] you mean like Linus Torvalds? [19:23] hes a profesional [19:24] TaZeR: I was thinking more about Dr. Freud. [19:24] question: running irssi in screen, executing a script/command gives an odd error but still works. next post is example, hope floodbot does not get pissed. [19:24] lol your funny!

[19:28] francesco_: kubuntu [19:29] francesco_: slackware [19:29] kubuntu! [19:29] I'm facing issues with recent 3.5.0-27-lowlatency and nvidia drivers (same problem as described here: http://askubuntu.com/questions/279694/no-launcher-after-update-to-3-5-0-27) [19:30] nomoa: Check /var/log/Xorg.0.log to see if the nvidia drivers are even being used. [19:30] Before I finish the setup, is there anything to worry about when running nginx and apache side by side? [19:31] Which is the one most similar at Chakra? :) [19:31] nickles: ports. That would be it. [19:32] here is the syslog http://paste2.org/dy8dYw9G and here is the dmesg log http://paste2.org/860bg16I [19:32] they are very long each [19:32] apn: ok. I knew about that. Just wanted to make sure the universe wouldn't blow up if they were together. Thanks! [19:33] and.. Slackware is free of charge or not? However thx.. :) [19:33] nickles: if North Korea drops nukes around the world in next 5 minutes, I know it was your fault. [19:34] francesco_: yes, it is free of charge. [19:34] apn: Gosh darn it. And I would have gotten away with it too, if it weren't for you meddling kids [19:35] do u have any tips for free alternatives? :) [19:35] francesco_: kubuntu. [19:36] is it bad as they say? [19:37] I never heard "them". [19:37] you'd have to define 'bad' [19:37] reddeath68: when was the last time you tried to boot to your machine. Yesterday around 19:30?

It sends me to busybox after displaying "ALERT! /dev/disk/by-uuid/xxxxxxxxxx does not exist". Then it gives me all these errors like: "timeout: killing /sbin/modprobe -bv pci:XXXXXXXXXX". Then when these errors stop, I can type exit and it boots me fine. I have tried to update-initramfs -u, I have tried to boot-repair, I really have no idea what to do next. Any help would be HIGHLY appreciated! Thanks in advance. [19:47] apn fsck retunred /dev/sda1: 242625/15138816 files (0.2% non-contigous), 2878497/60525568 blocks [19:47] btw that happened after a powercut but it happens every time i boot [19:47] i just fixed my X11 breakdown on ubuntu 13.04, but unity is still broken. any known fix? i know it's a known problem... [19:48] mnk don't force it [19:48] can someone help me? [19:48] she_dyed, don't force what? [19:48] mnk: don't force the boot [19:48] how do I configure a subnet? [19:48] hmm [19:49] I'm logged in fine after that whole thing but not sure what to do [19:49] hey Atlantic777 [19:49] mnk i wouldn't call it fine [19:49] thanks for help [19:49] she_dyed, nickles what do u think the problem is? [19:50] i've done an fsck as well [19:50] does ubuntu support Bluetooth 4.0 BLE ? [19:50] mnk: i'm far from a guru, unlike the other people here, but how is grub? Does it work still? [19:51] how do I configure a subnet? [19:51] #grub [19:51] mnk and is it a dualboot machine [19:51] bunch of uptight dicks in ubuntu-offtopic [19:51] nickles, yes grub seems to work. It gets past grub, then it goes to busybox [19:51] heh [19:51] she_dyed, no it's not dual boot - only ubuntu [19:52] Anybody got any idea about my issue? [19:52] is there a tool to perform a full integrity check on the filesystem ? check if nothing's been erased, etc? [19:52] am... those any one have an idea over transmission block list? [19:52] !BLE [19:52] alainus: fsck? [19:52] like update? [19:52] !fsck | aladilas [19:52] 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] !Bluetooth 4.0 [19:53] apn any idea? [19:53] !Bluetooth [19:53] For instructions on how to set up bluetooth, see https://help.ubuntu.com/community/BluetoothSetup [19:53] wilee-nilee, thanks [19:53] maybe try to remove my ndiswrapper? or somehow disable it? [19:54] she_dyed, nickles - any idea what i can do? btw thanks for your help [19:54] mnk were you ever able to get to the desktop even before then [19:55] or has it always been text mode or tty or busybox [19:56] she_dyed, this is a desktop machine and i've always been able to log in. then i had a power cut and since then it is going to busybox === alainus is now known as alainus[-_-] [19:56] mnk: when you exit from busybox, does it return you to a desktop? [19:57] nickles, yes. that's what i'm in now - the desktop [19:57] * Atheroma is still here. [19:57] mnk: have you run fsck on the disk? === dominus_ is now known as rikut [19:58] nickles, yes - but it finishes very quickly so i'm wondering if i'm doing it correctly. which options should i be using? [19:59] mnk was there any compelling reason for update-initramfs [19:59] ok ima repost my problem see if some of the fresh faces here can help me [19:59] she_dyed, naa - just searching forums and trying diff things [20:00] i'd suspect that messed your rig up [20:00] Ok so iv been having issues with my ubuntu first it crashed so i reinstalled it then I had it running ok when I tried to get ndiswrapper and nvidia working for my nvidia geforce 9400gt video card. now whenever I start the system it freezes I have already tried removing nvidia-current and nvidia-settings to remedy the problem and this did me no good any idea's I can use root recovery but I rely [20:00] on wifi for internet but can hard wire if absolutly needed [20:00] how do you rename eth0 or p1p1 interface to something else? [20:00] how are those name generated automatically? === alainus[-_-] is now known as alainus [20:00] she_dyed, u mean running the update-initramfs? [20:00] neoark: They are named like ethX by udevd [20:01] mnk on some rigs its like a death sentence [20:01] 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] she_dyed, hmm - but i don't think it's made a difference. same problem as before [20:02] mnk it won't work if it was broken before, so it may have done nothing [20:02] does anyone know if Cheese (cheese, for webcam) is a part of the standard Ubuntu software deployment? [20:02] she_dyed, nickles - what i don't understand is why it can't find the hdd with uuid - after busybox when all the timeout issues end, if i type exit it boots fine into a desktop [20:02] Hello everyone, does any one know how to disable a command in vim? [20:03] blackstar: disable a command or an alias or user created function and so forth? [20:03] mnk: did you run fsck on the drive while it was mounted? [20:03] th0r, nope === anonymous is now known as Guest77817 [20:03] th0r, i had booted into a live cd [20:04] I want to do fsck, by entering "sudo touch /forcefsck && sudo shutdown -r now", but i didn't see any output, and the reboot didn't take longer than usual. Is that normal [20:04] ? [20:04] a command, I found out that commnd :;wq! will delete all line below, I will like to avoid this [20:04] SolarisBoy, a command, I found out that commnd :;wq! will delete all line below, I will like to avoid this [20:04] it seems to be timing out looking for the hdd [20:04] mnk: does the UUID of the drive in the error match the drive's UUID? [20:05] blackstar: you can redifine that command [20:05] (for the root partition) [20:05] why go ?~ ubuntu [20:05] nickles, yep - that's why it boots after all the errors in busybox finish and then i type exit [20:05] mnk so something is making it go to busybox and when you quit bb it proceeds to normal desktop [20:05] 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] so no one knows what to do about my problem? [20:05] iwconfig wlan0 txpower 27 [20:06] gives me error when not connected [20:06] JR1: you did it? :) [20:06] she_dyed, yep - but if i type exit straight away it doesn't work. it just keeps giving me those timeout errors - lots of them. ONLY when they finish if i type exit it proceeds to normal desktop [20:06] but works after I'm connected [20:06] SolarisBoy, I will do some research [20:06] thank you [20:06] blackstar: map [20:06] reddeath68: do you have the open xorg for nvidia at least [20:06] blackstar: http://vim.wikia.com/wiki/Disable_built-in_command [20:07] Than you for the url SolarisBoy [20:07] yw blackstar [20:07] I believe so I have let system update handle most of the drivers but I believe so [20:07] Sorry about all the DCing. /amsg. [20:07] reddeath68: does it let you get to GUI desktop? [20:08] what would a powercut do to make the machine go to busybox? [20:08] no it freezes if i try to load the gui [20:08] blackstar: You are wrong. ";" repeats the last command. So if you deleted something then ;wq! will repeat that, and save and quit. [20:08] Atheroma: it seems like it *may* be expected behavior [20:08] where is the trash file located at on ubuntu 12? [20:09] mnk: corrupt the disk [20:09] Sorry I didn't exactly understand what you said (I'm not native English) [20:09] mnk: in which case fsck may assist you - [20:09] SolarisBoy, what's the best way to do fsck in detail? === motto is now known as m8 [20:09] reddeath68: are you able to get graphical login [20:09] mnk: https://help.ubuntu.com/community/SystemAdministration/Fsck === m8 is now known as Guest64412 [20:10] SolarisBoy, I apologize but I couldn't figure out what exactly you mean [20:10] the command Is :;wq! ... this one delete all lines below [20:10] load to there attempt to log in and it freezes... I am able to log into root command via recovery console === Guest64412 is now known as m8 [20:10] AcidRain: ${HOME}/.local/share/Trash ? [20:10] blackstar read what he wrote, again please [20:11] Atheroma: are you sure thats not whats supposed to happen when adjusting the tx previous to actually tx'ing? [20:11] im not but it may be logical... [20:11] SolarisBoy, thanks [20:11] AcidRain: yw [20:11] blackstar: what bekks wrote [20:11] hello world [20:12] SolarisBoy, I'm not sure, but I'm unable to connect to my network when I'm on 15dBm, while on Windows7 I can connect normally [20:12] I'm trying to change my window title font through GNOME Tweak Tool but it's not changing. Can anyone help? [20:12] seems that a power issue wouldn't/shouldn't be OS related [20:12] hallo, repeat question, hope its not too early. executing a script/cmd in irrsi with /exec gives an odd error but still works, anyone care to give it a shot? next post example. [20:12] blackstar: You issued a command before that deleted stuff. ";" doesnt delete anything, it repeats the last command. [20:12] if that is the issue and not a red herring [20:12] sh: 0: getcwd() failed: No such file or directory [20:12] shell-init: error retrieving current directory: getcwd: cannot access parent directories: No such file or directory === alainus is now known as alainus[-_-] [20:12] http://imagebin.org/253771 [20:13] Atheroma: what exactly are you trying to do by adjusting the Power signal levels? [20:13] There was an update to nvidia-current and nvidia-settings happened around the time this happened also around same time I was trying to tweak ndiswrapper version 1.58 as it didn't seem to be working as well as it used too === skylar is now known as skylar3000 [20:13] ntzrmtthihu777: irssi is starting from where you ran it from - [20:13] she_dyed, in vim if I do a typo error to save and quit a file and I use " :;wq! " it deletes all lines below, I'm using Ubuntu 12.10 and it's currently updated [20:13] My router is at another room, on Windows7 I can connect to it normally, while on Ubuntu the wireless network of that router cannot be detected [20:14] SolarisBoy: ah, so if I've cd'd or whatever it will not work just right? [20:14] I have to move my laptop to the other room in order to get connected [20:14] ntzrmtthihu777: if you ran it from somwehere - and then changed that said somewhere after it may be a symptom of doing that - EG if you started irssi at /home/place/there and then later in another shell removed /home/place - then irssi scripts may thrown those type of error despite things "working" [20:14] hi all, i have a public subnet from ISP and i cannot figure it how can i use it [20:14] blackstar: Again: ";" doesnt delete anything, it repeats something. "w" writes, "q" quits and "!" forces it. [20:14] ntzrmtthihu777: ^ [20:14] That's why I what to increase the transmission power, SolarisBoy [20:15] ntzrmtthihu777: thats the most direct thing i can think of. There are probably other things to look at - but seriously is it a real error ? does it happen after you /q and come back? === alainus[-_-] is now known as alainus [20:15] bekks on my system it does [20:15] ntzrmtthihu777: you may want to look at iwevent while your connecting to get a better idea of the real "why" you can't connect === kristjan is now known as kristjanvool [20:15] blackstar: As long as you are using vi(m), it doesnt. [20:16] ntzrmtthihu777: unless you have a true indicator that the power signal needs to be up'd it's just a guess [20:16] blackstar: Or you have a self-compiled version that uses different commands. [20:16] Hello i'm unable to install the opencl-icd package [20:16] i run quantal with nvidia gt 430 [20:17] After I connect in the other room, I can raise the txpower to 27, which help me remain connected when I back to my room for a minute or two [20:17] my nvidia driver is installed via the manufacture scrpit .. as far as i read the packege must be provided by nvidia-current [20:17] i guess that's the problem .. how i must proceed now ? [20:17] But then I get disconnected and txpower return to 15dBm [20:18] Atheroma: interesting [20:18] Atheroma: Then the quality of your wifi in your room isnt that good to keep it up. [20:18] reddeath68: have any autostart scripts, have you checked if there are .xsession-errors [20:18] 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 [20:19] Atheroma: btw: what wrong with 15dBm? [20:19] hello world from laptop [20:19] yea i actually can't confirm ';' does anything but delimt things in vim =( i'd go with bekks suggestion or update [20:19] @vim stuff [20:19] blackstar: ; repeats a command. So you deleted something before. [20:19] Yes, the wifi signal in my room is weak, but I could use it without problems on windows 7 [20:19] 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 [20:20] 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] hi [20:20] reddeath68: less .xsession-errors [20:20] Atheroma: And you cant use it with 15dBm? [20:20] beeks can that be disable ? [20:20] blackstar: You could remap ";". [20:21] blackstar: you do this often enough to need that blowtorch? [20:22] less .xsession-error's? is that a command or something I am kinda new to ubuntu [20:22] cp: cannot create regular file `/home/areckx/public_html/print2file.php': Permission denied [20:22] :: I just did sudo chown -R g+rw ~/public_html :: What is going on? [20:22] messaging and voIP contacts.. i added xchat, faceass.. but cant connect to them... [20:22] 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] any one have an idea? [20:22] reddeath68: less & more are commands to browse text [20:22] blackstar: Then look at the keyboard when typing :) [20:23] blackstar: or set vim to make backups [20:23] It appears that 15dBm are not enough to detect my router when I'm in my room [20:23] 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. [20:24] I can't use my wireless with 15dBm inside my room, only when I move close to the router [20:24] ok i ran less .xsession-error's and all I get is >and a blinking cursor [20:25] reddeath68: you can q to quit [20:25] to quit less [20:26] this is root, no? reddeath68 [20:26] 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] yes in the root command consel via recovery consel [20:27] do they make a mini ISO in 64 bit? [20:27] ..that they do.. [20:27] my /lib/udev/write_net_rules is empty [20:27] is that normal? [20:27] right under the one I just downloaded.. doh.. [20:27] i mean /etc/udev/rules.d/70-persistent-net.rules [20:28] reddeath68: also try less /home/user/.xsession-errors change user to name of the user you would login to [20:28] or tries to login [20:28] hope you put an s in your first attempt [20:29] Hi. I just switched to LXDM on Ubuntu 12.10, and it is displaying the usernames syslog, saned, and usbmux daemon, but it does not display my username. Can someone help me with this? [20:30] * Atheroma is still outside his room waiting for a solution! [20:31] i did put an s the first time now all i see with the latest less command is a seemingly infinate number of lines that all say ~ and a white highleted word thst says end with a blinking cursour [20:32] Atheroma: Get an external antenna or some other wifi dongle that is capable of an external antenna. [20:32] q reddeath68 is this the at user's, not root [20:33] yes at the users also for reference my systems username is reddeath68 as well [20:34] bekks, you mean "switch back to Windows 7 and use wireless normally" ??! [20:35] Atheroma: No. I said: "Get an external antenna or some other wifi dongle that is capable of an external antenna." [20:35] or buy a signal booster i think it's called [20:35] managed to log in idk how long till it freezes next [20:35] she_dyed: wifi repeater. [20:36] reddeath68: nvidia-current and friends but those usually modify kernel to work, uninstalling them, idk what it does for kernel restore purposes [20:36] hi [20:36] has anyone got a guide on setting up a server (security wise) ? [20:36] thanks bekks [20:37] does ubuntu come whit wifi drivers [20:37] or i must first download [20:37] ? [20:37] is it possible to find what version of nvidia-current came out before the current one [20:37] 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) [20:38] I seemed to have less problems with that one [20:38] pascerestart: depends on your wifi [20:38] pascerestart, some are included, some you need to activate with some small steps [20:38] (This is Ubuntu Server, btw, not desktop) [20:38] pascerestart: some can't be distributed due to licensing [20:38] pascerestart, run laspci in the terminal and identify the wifi [20:38] OerHeks: ok how can i check beacuse if i install ubuntu [20:38] pascerestart, sorry lspci [20:39] pascerestart, easy, try ubuntu in live mode :-) [20:39] OerHeks: thenks i forgot [20:39] OerHeks: about thet [20:39] my video card is a nvidia geforce 9400 gt so apprently finding well working drivers isn't easy [20:40] pascerestart, if it does not work, check the driver menu for a possible download, or come back here [20:40] 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] reddeath68, gforce 9400 needs the 173 driver, AFAIK [20:41] ok let me try that one i think its the one i see in my list of available [20:42] https://help.ubuntu.com/community/BinaryDriverHowto/Nvidia [20:43] paradigm_arsonis: Yes, specify a block size as big as the cache of your drive. [20:44] bekks: thanks, this will reduce wear and tear? also, perhaps I'm asking the wrong question [20:44] Does encrypting the home directory have any ill effects on preformance ? [20:45] Name141: not a huge one - [20:45] 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] How much will this dd command age my hard drive? [20:45] SolarisBoy: Ubuntu doesn't come with full hard drive encryption? [20:45] paradigm_arsonis: re-install [20:45] Name141: yes it does [20:46] Name141: LVM encryption that is - i think you can do standard drives but thats diff than whats in the installer (GUI) [20:46] 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] SolarisBoy: that's what oi'm doing, i'd just like to wipe my hard disk out of caution [20:46] 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] right, so it really is worth doing. i guess i'll go and look upmy hard drive specs then. thanks. [20:49] it seems to be working for now thank you [20:49] hopefully i can go a few days without breaking it this time... [20:49] paradigm_arsonis: you can dd the drive first and write 0's to it or use a wiping utility before the reinstallation [20:50] paradigm_arsonis: Or just wipe the free space. [20:50] reddeath68, have fun [20:50] paradigm_arsonis: the HDD's actually have aging info that you'll need to reference to get an idea - [20:50] thanks I will [20:50] paradigm_arsonis: EG - check your HDD documenation [20:51] yeah, not sure what my hdd is yet, looking it up === groldan_ is now known as groldan [20:52] paradigm_arsonis: sure i like it because it kind of defeats the whole "you can pick up my computer and have your way with my drive data" issue [20:52] regardless of what perf hit i take thats doable for that protection [20:52] hello === yo is now known as Guest58790 [20:53] can anyone help me with empathy [20:53] perf? [20:54] I'm not so much interested in destroying sensitive data, more just making sure that I don't get malware popping up in my new installations. [20:54] paradigm_arsonis, malware in linux, lol [20:55] I used to mess around installing Linux distributions all the time, often had old pieces of Ubuntu appearing in new debian installs, it used to be a nightmare. [20:56] paradigm_arsonis, Bad technique and fud. [20:57] !details > cdan28 [20:57] cdan28, please see my private message [20:59] So I got a free server from work and I can use their network/power, what should I use it for? (Currently using it as a jumpbox, might use it as a linux distro seeder) [21:00] reokie, you should start a facebook competitor [21:00] I have a a problem with empathy on ubuntu 12.10 with windows chat.. and preferences [21:02] every time i try to chat in the windows chat it disipiars [21:02] hey guys, i have a simple problem im sure you can solve fast [21:02] viliny: faster than Google? [21:03] not as fast as had he just asked the question === joe75_ is now known as joe75 [21:03] i set up samba shares on my media pc running linux mint, now i know it's not pure ubuntu but samba works the same right? anyways, i tried the graphical tool system-samba-configurator or something and the one embedded in folder right clicking [21:03] i guess i need to set up the samba configs, i just a pointer where to look [21:03] no, it's probably not the same [21:04] aww [21:04] i came here because i don't know the linux channel, anyone remember it? [21:04] *mint [21:04] !mint [21:04] Linux Mint is not a supported derivative of Ubuntu. Please seek support in #linuxmint-help on irc.spotchat.org === yours_truly is now known as Nisstyre-laptop [21:04] thank you tgm4883 [21:04] viliny, its all in: /etc/samba/smb.conf [21:04] ubottu is so cool. [21:04] dpreacher: I am only a bot, please don't think I'm intelligent :) [21:05] compdoc: thanks! i'll give it a spin [21:05] ubottu at least quite useful :) // Am talking to a bot. Awake for way too long! [21:05] dpreacher: I am only a bot, please don't think I'm intelligent :) [21:05] also, im using mint because i can't stand unity or what it was called in recent ubuntus, is it actually usable now? [21:06] unity is very much useful...if you know how. just not useful to me at times because of my habits [21:07] i used to love gnome [21:07] !OT [21:07] #ubuntu is the Ubuntu support channel, for all Ubuntu-related support questions. Please use #ubuntu-offtopic for other topics (though our !guidelines apply there too). Thanks! [21:07] 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 [21:08] is it possible to use gnome etc. on ubuntu without completely destroying the install? [21:08] !nounity [21:08] 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] i joined this channel just so i can verify if my irc client was syncing the chat room messages. most channels are just joins, quits. [21:08] windows 8 taking us there? [21:08] OerHeks: how do you know the exact term to tell ubottu? [21:08] weird, I thought unity predated windows 8 [21:09] there ---> [21:09] tgm4883: i dislike unity and i dislike metro, was just making a point and maybe i did it poorly [21:09] dpreacher, there is a database for those cmd [21:09] !database [21:09] dpreacher, if you want to look super smart http://ubottu.com/factoids.cgi [21:09] tgm4883: i was aware of the chronological order of them [21:09] tgm4883: thanks. :) [21:10] thanks for the nounity tip, i'll consider that for future [21:10] viliny, while you can like/dislike whatever you want, this is still not support chat [21:10] tgm4883: im done, sorry if it went offtopic, at least i got some ubuntu uncertainties answered [21:11] viliny, there is a channel for off topic discussion #ubuntu-offtopic [21:11] i know [21:13] hey i have a problem with the ubuntu installation can anyone help me? [21:13] I have a problem with empathy on ubuntu 12.10 is there a way to reset all the setting for empathy [21:18] 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? [21:19] Betanu701, is the card set to read only? [21:19] No, I even taped it to make sure it wasn't [21:20] taped it?? [21:20] Betanu701, Is it readonly in the PC, or do you just not have permissions? [21:20] Takagami, I'd imagine he's talking about the switch on the side of the card [21:20] it is readonly, I have tried to change the permissions and the ownership [21:21] And yes you are correct the switch [21:21] I dunno... If I put tape on mine I doubt it would even fit in the slot anymore... [21:21] Oh well... if it works right? [21:21] Takagami, it would depend on the thickness of the tape [21:21] a very thin piece does not effect it [21:22] ok... ok... aaaaaanywaaaays... :-) [21:23] I even tried switching the sd card reader. [21:24] Betanu701, IDK why it would mount readonly, are you sure you put the switch in the right position? Any error messages in the logs? [21:25] #ubuntu-nl--meeting [21:25] Yes I am sure the switch is in the right direction, give me a sec i will post my dmesg [21:28] http://paste.ubuntu.com/5702800/ [21:29] You wanted to format it right? [21:29] Yep [21:29] And if you use Disk Manager or Gparted you cant? [21:30] Exactly [21:31] 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] Correct, it is not mounted. [21:32] Try running gparted as sudo from terminal? [21:32] hmm let me give that a shot [21:32] hi, on ubuntu 12.04 i have MAIN_TLS_ENABLE = yes in /etc/exim4/conf.d/main/03_exim4-config_tlsoptions, restarted exim but when i test with swaks it doesn't advertise STARTTLS === mehdi is now known as mmsabwat [21:33] Still read-only [21:33] Betanu701: [ sudo chmod 755 ] [21:34] SonikkuAmerica: That will have no effect on those dmesg output. [21:34] Sonikkuamerica: still read-only [21:35] Hello, i need a little help. Can anyone please PM me? [21:35] minetape, no, ask for help here [21:35] minetape, I think the idea is to keep the questions in the public chate [21:35] !anyone | minetape [21:35] minetape: A high percentage of the first questions asked in this channel start with "Does anyone/anybody..." Why not ask your next question (the real one) and find out? See also !details, !gq, and !poll. [21:35] This is a micro SD in an adapter correct? [21:35] let me explain why i need to pm [21:35] minetape: How it usually works is to state your current issue that requires attention into the the main channel here and then hopefully someone who knows the solution will guide you through it. [21:35] Takagami: yes micro SD [21:36] minetape, I can already guess it's for bad reasons [21:36] Might be a bad adapter... happens to me all the time... got another one to try? [21:36] tgm4883: Hehe [21:36] There's a screen i need to paste into chat and it would flood the channel. [21:36] SonikkuAmerica, i have always wondered where the list if the !xxx statements is found? [21:36] when i share folders to i have to create the same one on each pc [21:36] It's from terminal [21:36] minetape: Thats what pastebins are for [21:36] !pastebin | minetape [21:36] minetape: For posting multi-line texts into the channel, please use http://paste.ubuntu.com | To post !screenshots use http://imagebin.org/?page=add | !pastebinit to paste directly from command line | Make sure you give us the URL for your paste - see also the channel topic. [21:36] minetapepastebin.ubuntu.com [21:36] ah, thanks [21:36] minetape, if only there was some way to do that.... [21:36] takagami: I have tried 2 [21:37] captine: http://ubottu.com/factoids.cgi <<< There [21:37] Weird... stock install of Ubuntu Desktop? Messed around with your groups or anything? [21:37] Not on this machine [21:37] SonikkuAmerica, thanks [21:37] how can i access shared folder from my java program [21:38] It is most likely a permissions or groups problem... question is... if you still can't with sudo..... [21:38] alright, here: I was installoing wine via terminal, and i get this screen: http://paste.ubuntu.com/5702828/ Now i can't press ok and i cant get past the screen. Anyone have any ideas? [21:38] installing* [21:38] minetape: You have to hit TAB to select OK [21:38] can't with sudo or su, I even changed the owner to me [21:38] minetape: PRess the tab key until it hilights the OK button. [21:38] okay, [21:39] thanks lots [21:39] Betanu701... I am at a loss right now... doing a lot at the moment... very possibly bad card? have any problems when it is in the phone? [21:39] any help with shared folders out there? [21:40] Betanu701: maybe it reached the max amount of rewrites and thats why it's read only [21:40] That is the thing, no problem at all when in the phone. maybe both my adapters are bad... [21:41] goosecahser: i can write to it while it is in the phone just not through the adapter [21:41] i've created a shared folder on my desktop - how do I access through my other computer? [21:41] Possibly... an external card reader with a micro SD slot is a good 5$ investment... believe me... [21:41] Betanu701: Then your adapter is broken. === graingert is now known as Guest45091 [21:41] how to set rw permissions to a folder used by apache? ~/public_html ?? [21:42] Will probably do that, Thanks guys!! [21:42] Betanu701... can you not plug in the phone and use as Mass Storage mode to format it? [21:42] or gals [21:42] !chmode areck [21:42] I am trying to use it for another purpose I don't want it tied to the phone [21:43] !chmode | areck [21:43] !chmod | areck [21:43] areck: An explanation of what file permissions are and how they can be manipulated can be found at https://help.ubuntu.com/community/FilePermissions [21:44] In mass storage mode the phone works as an external card reader... unless you are planning to use the card in a device with a normal SD slot, you would still need a new adapter.... [21:44] 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. [21:45] Yea, need a new adapter [21:45] 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] Good luck Betanu701... [21:45] Is "dd if=/dev/zero of=/dev/harddiskdevicename" going to do a lot of damage to my hard disk? [21:46] Not the data, the disk itself? [21:46] 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] Daynga, open networks such as? [21:46] wilee-nilee: networks without a password [21:46] paradigm: it will wipe that hard disk, but shouldn't damage it. [21:47] paradigm_arsonis: Depends on the disk. Not setting bs= will cause /512 times more write cycles than necessary. [21:47] Daynga, Are you sure have you tried one that is surely open? [21:47] like a coffee shop....etc [21:47] Thanks [21:47] wilee-nilee: I've tried starbucks, best buy, mcdonalds... [21:47] * genii-around hears something about coffee [21:48] Daynga, starbucks needs a acceptance of something I forget what though. [21:48] 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] Daynga, I think all those have a agreement to tick. [21:49] wilee-nilee: agreement to tick? what does that mean? [21:49] bekks: thanks so much, got the model, looking it up now. [21:49] tgm4883:the connection isn't being made at all [21:49] weird [21:49] Daynga, A psuedo code of conflict I believe [21:50] it's a samsung nc110 netbook, so it'll have a modernish hard disk, nothing from the 1960's. [21:50] Daynga, ask them at starbucks. [21:50] tick means to check yes [21:52] wilee-nilee: yeah I guess i'll ask someone there [21:52] thanks guys [21:53] How can I setup something like an ~/.ssh/authorized_keys.d ? Hate having all of my keys in just authorized_keys - plus trying to puppetize it [21:54] Or do I have to do something like this: https://github.com/alexdavid/authorized_keys.d/blob/master/update.sh [21:56] Ok ima on the same thing [21:56] but terminal is telling me [21:56] lol nvrmnd [21:56] karma's a b**ch [21:56] cya [21:57] there are commands to get the screen to output to text....

[21:59] evilkid: A more specific question will help us help you [22:00] yea so here s the problem, i got GT555m with ubuntu 12.04, i downloaded the last driver, and whenever i try to install the card i get this error : http://www.reddit.com/r/creativewriters/comments/1c8fth/creative_writing_and_day_dreaming_article_by_freud/ [22:00] evilkid: Oh stop it. [22:00] hey guys, does anyone know how to change the color of that initial purple screen before lightdm loads it's background wallpaper? [22:00] i have tried "jockey" but when i open it i get an empty list [22:00] evilkid, Can you run this and post the output lsb_release -a [22:00] bekks : what? [22:00] genii-around: You nearly quoted GLaDOS O.o [22:01] evilkid: Ill show you a small pastebin - somethings got displayed wrong here for me. [22:01] evilkid: I think you pasted the wrong thing.

[22:05] 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] 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 [22:07] so ... whats the problem here :/ ? [22:08] i want to asia question: is it normal that Nvidia 525M gets 100 more FPS than an Nvidia 630M? [22:08] BluPhenix316: gdm is a good alternative if lightdm quits working... unless you're experiencing login loopback [22:08] no lightdm works great [22:09] (optimus technology, i should mention using bumblebee) [22:09] BluPhenix316: In which you should dump your .Xauthority [22:09] it is just that when it loads there is that initial purple colored screen before it loads the configured wallpaper [22:09] and it isn't the plymouth theme [22:09] BluPhenix316: What about that purple colored screen? I think that's something to do with X [22:10] that seems like it should be changable, kubuntu doesn't have that [22:10] SonikkuAmerica and tgm4883: not it is lightdm [22:10] tgm4883: kubuntu uses kdm [22:10] BluPhenix316: No, it also uses lightdm. [22:11] is it possible to install munin 2 on a ubuntu 12.04 LTS machine? [22:11] hmm sorry last time i used it, it used kdm [22:11] BluPhenix316: Just a Qt-written version. Same with Xubuntu and Lubuntu - they use a GTK+ 2 version of lightdm. [22:11] and more to the point; how should I do that? [22:11] Ubuntu 12.04.2 hangs in installation when selected upgrade options. What to do? [22:11] BluPhenix316, so it's not the lightdm theme? [22:12] no, i changed the background [22:12] but it is purple and then a few seconds later it switches to the background i've configured [22:12] 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 [22:13] !munin [22:13] wilee-nilee: The heck is munin. [22:13] SonikkuAmerica, is it possible to install munin 2 on a ubuntu 12.04 LTS machine? [22:13] 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 [22:14] wilee-nilee: Oh. [22:14] no idea [22:14] wilee-nilee: Ubuntu 12.04.2 hangs in installation when selected upgrade options. What to do? [22:14] BluPhenix316, odd, let me fire up a VM [22:14] an0n: try installing with out the upgrade options? [22:14] and then upgrade once you have the system installed [22:14] BluPhenix316: yes [22:14] BluPhenix316: No, it's not in lightdm.conf - at least not /etc/lightdm/lightdm.conf [22:15] BluPhenix316, what version of ubuntu? [22:15] tgm4883: well i'm currently using 13.04, but it has been that way since i started using ubuntu with 12.04 [22:15] i've just never bothered to try and change it until now [22:15] BluPhenix316: And how to install the updates, upgrades and Fluendo MP3 plugin after installation? [22:16] an0n: open the HUD and select Software Updates [22:16] just type in update and you will see it pop up [22:16] and you can install the mp3 codecs by using ubuntu software center, and selecting ubuntu restricted extras [22:16] or you can do it all from a terminal which is faster but requires a bit more computer experience [22:16] BluPhenix316: ok [22:17] BluPhenix316: thanks [22:17] open up a terminal and type sudo apt-get update && sudo apt-get upgrade && sudo apt-get install ubuntu-restricted-extras [22:17] 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] BluPhenix316: ok [22:18] trism: thank you! [22:18] BluPhenix316: thanks [22:18] 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/ [22:19] 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 === SpindizZzy is now known as SpindizZzy|AFK === SpindizZzy|AFK is now known as SpindizZzy [22:29] are there any other volume controls besides alsamixer?

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

I tried to install torchat through Ubuntu Terminal but i misstyped code and it crashed . Even after closing terrminal I cant work with other applications. [23:41] Pls help me. [23:42] test [23:42] newbie|3, Type history in the terminal and see if your command shows if so post it. [23:42] Wish I could, newbie, but I'm not overly familiar with tor, just the concept of it. [23:42] Zinn: Is Ubuntu the only distro you've tried on that machine? [23:43] can i cancel it? [23:43] until now, yes. Ubuntu and fedora worked on a virtual machine so i guess the hardware is fine [23:43] ZinnSoldat: i know your pain, give it time to fail and drop to init, then you likely can type exit and go on booting [23:44] Zinn: If it's AMD Radeon, this might be your answer: http://askubuntu.com/questions/120096/ubuntu-hangs-at-purple-screen [23:44] @wiley-neel can I terminate it? [23:44] lets say I have an archive split among multiple DVDs. is there any GUI app that can start with the part on the first DVD then prompt me to insert the next DVD? the only solution Ive found so far is to manually copy all parts to the hard drive first. [23:45] yes it is.. can i do a thing about it? [23:45] One of the answers says to hit e when grub loads so you can change $linuxgfxmode with nomodeset [23:45] s/with/to [23:46] except buying a new graphic card [23:46] guys i am trying to use the usb wireless adapter instead of the installed pci card, how can i do that? [23:46] ubuntu is picking the pci [23:46] while the usb adapter is correctly installed [23:47] zinn: if changing that works from grub boot, you can edit the grub config file afterward to make that change permanent [23:47] adam: is the pci card also wireless? [23:48] RyanTG: unfortunately, yes [23:48] Hey ! Can I terminate a running process in Terminal? Pls... [23:48] RyanTG: it has a very poor signal, i tried it with windows and ubuntu [23:49] pls [23:49] I'm stuck. [23:49] adamsilver: you should be able to set the wireless profile to only the card you want [23:49] And can do nothing on ubuntu. [23:49] newbie|3, Terminate what, when you close a terminal you shutdown stuff, your description is hard to pinpoint what is up definitively. [23:49] newbie|3: yeah, look up the process number with `ps | aux` and then kill is with `kill number` [23:50] Scotch`Slugworth: could you please elaborate, from where i could set that? [23:50] 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] adamsilver: it's an icon on the upper-right of the default ubuntu. [23:50] RyanTG: I can't change anything... Hitting e is pointless [23:51] ZinnSoldat: This is a LiveCD session, not a dual-boot with Windows 7, right? [23:52] 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] when i try to run a programme it says "Could not determine the package or source package name." [23:53] newbie: sounds like you wiped your path variable [23:53] The dialog box named "Invalid problem report" [23:53] it is a dual boot. i installed it over the windows installer on a free partition but it's still pretty the same problem [23:54] may i get help. [23:54] ZinnSoldat: you did it wrong then, e works fine to edit grub boot entries [23:54] I'm stuck. [23:54] 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. [23:55] newbie: are you on the problem system now chatting with us, or a separate one? [23:55] other apps like software center , ubuntu one and so. [23:56] pls. [23:57] Scotch`Slugworth: i am using the default ubuntu installation and i can't see anything called profile in the network manger :( [23:57] newbie: I'd recommend logging out and back in to see if that clears your app location problem.
