ZinnSoldatok how can i get an ununtu livecd?00:00
supertoughcan not mount samsung galaxy s3 on ubuntu 12.1000:01
wilee-nileeZinnSoldat, the cd's you burned are they not live cd"s00:01
newbie|3@wilee-nilee hey pls00:01
RyanTGUse the one from the install.  Just select run from CD instead of install at the boot menu.00:01
adamsilverdiaboliq: no a Mac00:01
adamsilverdiaboliq: why?00:01
supertoughcan someone go to google HQ and slap the douchebag for making MTP on android devices00:02
Scotch`Slugworthadamsilver: a profile is what contains your wireless settings. I refuse to use gnome so sorry i cna not help more then that00:02
wilee-nileenewbie|3, Not an area I am really the best help in to be honest. ;)00:02
adamsilverScotch`Slugworth: ok thanks00:02
RyanTGsupertough: go into your usb settings and change it if you don't want mtp mode.00:02
supertoughdid that it didn't work.00:02
supertoughstill not mounted00:02
RyanTGsupertough: usb sticks mount fine on that system?00:03
supertoughyes RyanTG00:03
Scotch`Slugworthsupertough: sorry but MTP is all that is available on current Android00:03
wilee-nileesupertough, YOu need the sdk kit and adb drivers I believe I have used gMTP though, rather a clunky app.00:03
wilee-nileenot with that phone though00:03
supertoughI got the gMTP but I can't copy files from my phone to my computer using gMTP00:04
Scotch`Slugworthsupertough: i to dislike MTP (namely cause its buggy with linux) but having the SD card demount from Android inorder to mount for the host PC, well MTP solves a lot of bugs there00:04
wilee-nileesupertough, I use this with my nexus 7 running 4.2.2 http://www.webupd8.org/2012/12/how-to-mount-android-40-ubuntu-go-mtpfs.html00:05
supertoughI dual boot my pc just hate the inconvenience of going back and forth to windows just so I can copy files from my phone to my PC00:06
wilee-nileesupertough, I just use W8 most of the time the nexus is rooted so I can do most without a computer at all.00:06
Scotch`Slugworthsupertough: what is it you want to do anyhow? just move some fiiles?00:07
RyanTGsupertough: I just run VirtualBox.  Then I can boot Windows inside Linux when I need something Linux doesn't run (yet).00:07
wilee-nileesupertough, I suspect the go-mtpfs link will work fine try it.00:07

dioxidewhats the proper, or most common way of disabling services in ubuntu server00:14
wilee-nileedioxide, You might ask in #ubuntu-server and be specific here or there. ;)00:15
dioxidethanks.  specific about what?00:17
jribdioxide: depends on the service and whether it's setup using upstart or the old sysv-init-style scripts00:17
dioxideah.00:17
wilee-nileedioxide, The services you want disable.00:17
dioxidewell specifically, pretty much everything but apache, sendmail, and sshd.  ive been removing scripts from /etc/init and /etc/init.d, but wondered if was something similar to bom, for console use00:19

tgm4883dioxide, everything but those three? Seems kinda odd to have apache if you have no networking00:22
dioxidetgm4883:  the non essential everything but those00:23
tgm4883dioxide, in a default server install, what is non-essential?00:24
dioxideits probably not a default install, its what my vps provider offers.  bind and mysqld, to start with00:25
tgm4883yea thats not a default install00:25
tgm4883dioxide, why not remove them if you don't want them?00:25
learninghello guys, can someone take on this question and guide me in some information, i have an media player it's running some custom firmware but it is shiped with busybox(have root access to it from telnet, have wget/exec etc my question is can i somehow boot up a live ubuntu usb stick on it etc thanks!00:25
dr_willislearning:  totally depends on the exact hardware.00:26
tgm4883learning, probalby not00:26
tgm4883learning, what processor00:26
dioxidetgm4883:  id rather start by having them not automatically start at boot, then remove them when im sure everything else is working as it should00:26
dr_willislearning: i have several 'set top box media players' that use linux in one form or another. - most are not very 'hackable'00:26

wilee-nileePonch0, Can you describe how you got there, say grub modifications..etc00:29
dioxidetiredman:  service nginx stop, if its just the httpd you want to stop.  are you trying to turn the whole thing off or just the service00:29
dioxideah00:29
tgm4883dioxide, or rather, what version of upstart?00:29

Ponch0wilee-nilee: I installed ubuntu on external HD00:30
wilee-nileePonch0, Do you have the external being read first and did you make sure grub was put in its mbr?00:30

wilee-nileePonch0, Do you have any other ubuntu installs, or just the external. Grub went somewhere probably the internals mbr.00:32
dioxidetgm4883:  yea sorry. if upstart is where i wanna start lookin, ill scour the docs.00:32
tgm4883dioxide, in upstart 1.3 or later, you can disable jobs using an override file00:32
tgm4883dioxide, eg.    echo "manual" >> /etc/init/myjob.override00:32
wilee-nileePonch0, Was this a usb install it might be there?00:32

Ponch0wilee-nilee: it's a usb external hd yes, but it was installed off of a CD00:33
Ponch0I found grub with ls in grub rescue I just can't set it to that for some reason following the instructions I found online00:33
Ponch0I'm in Live right now, it says it's not mounted, does that matter?00:34
wilee-nileePonch0, If you are familiar with a chroot and just running the grub-install /dev/sdX  "X= the external HD no partition numbers" you can use this link, if you do this be sure to run update-grub as well. https://help.ubuntu.com/community/Grub2/Installing#via_ChRoot00:35
Ponch0wilee-nilee: I'm not familiar with chroot at all.00:35
mikehaas763It seems like every once in a great while my mx 5500 keyboard loses its hotkey functionality. volumes, mute, play pause etc. Then it seems like it takes an indefinate amount of time until it starts working again. Maybe a week or so. Why would this be happening and how can I fix it?00:35
wilee-nileePonch0, FRom a live cd you will have to mount or chroot, however the bootrepiar tool may work if used correctly, personally I don't use it, but some find it helpful, but be careful.  Ponch0.00:37

NekHello. I'm experimenting big problems with installing windows/Ubuntu on a computer with efi & 2 hdd.00:42
NekWhen i installé windows all works00:42
Ponch0ok boot-repair not found this package isn't locatable00:42
NekInstall *00:42
wilee-nileePonch0, In the install gui is a choice called something else, in the first screen is a dropdown it shows where grub is pointed to. You have to do a few other things there like set the mount for the partition as / and activate the partition opr make one if needed.00:42

NekWhen i use thé boot repair, linux work again. But not windows...00:45
wilee-nileePonch0, No, you want the grub bootloader in the mbr, you have to mount it, chroot it the install that is, or cautiously use the boot repair app.00:46

nurowI need to re-install ubuntu, and am trying to decide if I should install that or 12.10.02:04

Pinkamena_Dany suggestions?02:05
warfarendiaboliq: i did some things like hide the nvidia logo when the window manager starts and added in the mode lines i was using back on lucid (the same way i added them there, but then it was working)02:05
warfarenbut i looked at the new xorg.conf that it made and it did preserve my changes02:06
diaboliqdo you still have that, the metamodes goes into Device section for the gfx card02:06
diaboliqno wait02:06
warfareni'll post you my current xorg.conf02:06

warfarenno? does it say it in the log?02:20
diaboliqthe first place you ought to look02:20
warfarenohyeah.. i see it now02:20
warfarenyeah i guess you're right about that02:21
diaboliqdo you have the nvidia xserver settings on the menu?02:21
warfarenyeah02:21
diaboliqliek to make adjustments02:21
diaboliqmaybe it will accept there lets try it02:21
warfareni've tried it. can only choose 1920x1200 there aswell in the drop down menu02:22
diaboliqwarfaren, go into advanced and try that02:22
warfarenyeah so i get "Panning:"02:22

diaboliqno no02:23
diaboliqwait warfaren02:23
diaboliqits the block that wouldn't show02:23
diaboliqso your screen prefers how big? 1920 x what02:24
warfaren120002:24
warfarenthat's the native res02:24
diaboliqok but really wanted 1280x80002:24
warfarenyes02:24
diaboliqsosby, that means 1 sec i'm trying to recall02:25
warfaren1920x1200 is much too small and i know i can increase DPI but then i still dont get to choose lower resolutions for games so they will lag02:25
cortexA9hello all02:26
warfarenand games (steam) was the reason i left 10.04 for quantal..02:26
diaboliqtheres a gray area 1920-1280 and    640 x 40002:27
warfareni've got a 12.04 live cd aswell. might pop it in and see if it lets me choose other resolutions than 1920x120002:27
warfarenyeah i don't get to choose 640x480 either02:27
warfarenonly 1920x1200, nothing else02:27

warfarenheh, really had to see it to understand it02:30
warfarenbut it's no help here since it only lets me go higher, not lower02:30
moyam01i am having trouble with 12.04. i tried to put in a custom .xinintrc but the commands are not initialing02:30
diaboliqheres what i found warfaren02:30
diaboliqOption "MetaModes" "1024x768 @1600x1200, 800x600 @1024x768"02:31

machicoladoes 7 zip not work for RARs? I'm getting errors on the extract... are there any Ubuntu utils for .rar files?02:31
machicolaextracting*02:31
diaboliqbut use your numbers warfaren02:31
diaboliqmachicola, use unrar02:32
tgm4883machicola, did you try the unrar package02:32
Zacaromachicola: sudo apt-get install unrar02:32
warfarenwhich would be?02:32
warfareni have     Option         "metamodes" "1280x800 +0+0"02:32
machicolak thx02:32
warfarenin the file already02:32
diaboliqbut you know what that does02:32
TimothyAwhy would ubuntu do this all of a sudden?02:32
diaboliqso 1280x800@1920x900 +0+002:33
TimothyAI still have plenty of diskspace left, but ubuntu goes "No, you don't"02:33
warfarendiaboliq: no, it's just something i created years ago when i was running 10.04.. it's what i came up with after following a tutorial02:33
warfarenhm okay ill try that02:33
diaboliqbut make sure my numbers match02:33
warfarenyeah02:33
diaboliqhey at this point...02:33
diaboliqlol02:33
warfarenbtw, when editing xorg.conf, do i need to restart the whole system or just the window manager (i.e. logging out) to apply the changes?02:34
machicolawhat is command line syntax to extract a single file with unrar?02:34
rlaagerI'm running Precise. I applied a few updates and now my DPI is (improperly) being calculated at 96.02:34
warfareni assume window manager as that's what loads X?02:34
diaboliqlog out warfaren then service lxdm stop or someth like that02:34
hhtest02:34
warfarenkay02:35
machicolahah, found it!02:35
diaboliqwarfaren, specially the DM if you have a login or autologin02:35
warfarenyeah no auto login here02:35
TimothyAoh, problem found...02:35
diaboliqwe dont need no steenkin...02:35
warfarenbrb.02:35
TimothyAand I am not going to announce the answer02:35
michelanyone try fuduntu?02:36
diaboliqand so began TimothyA's descent02:37
warfarendiaboliq: hm, some progress... now when i choose 1920x1200 in nvidia x server settings i get 640x480 or something02:37
warfarennot the res that i asked but it's progress02:37
diaboliqtime to check the new Xorg log...02:37
warfarenand the "auto" option being real 1920x120002:37
diaboliqsee why it 'liked' 640x480 warfaren02:37

diaboliqwarfaren, LVDS is almost standard name (not lenovo) for the display on a laptop. DFP is digital flat panel02:41
warfarenok.02:41
diaboliqthats why even xrandr uses those terms02:41
warfareni see. so what do you make of the last log i posted?02:42
nurowfor Intel 64 bit, which OS image do I use? AMD64?02:42
warfarennurow: yeah that's fine02:43
warfarennurow: it's only called AMD64 because AMD invented the 64 bit extension for the x86 architecture, it's sometimes also called x86-64 ... but intel uses the same thing too02:43
diaboliqwarfaren, use /640 to scan for the first instance of 640x480 (maybe a warning)02:44
diaboliqwhen you do 'more Xorg.0.log'02:44
warfarenyou want me to grep for "640" in the log?02:44
Renzatichey everyone, I've got a good, but likely simple and easily solved question to ask if you've got the time02:44
warfarenalright02:44
Renzatic...and I'm beginning to think it's something else02:44
warfaren[  1965.393] (II) NVIDIA(0): Setting mode "LVDS-0:nvidia-auto-select{ViewPortIn=640x480,ViewPortOut=1600x1200+160+0}"02:45

warfaren[  1977.413] (WW) NVIDIA(0): Specified panning domain width of 640 is smaller than viewport02:45
diaboliqwarfaren, whats the line in xorg look like, the metamode02:47
Renzaticokay...I'll go ahead and toss it out here in the hopes that someone answers. First off, I'm a complete Linux newbie, so, please, have patience with me02:47
OerHekswarfaren, 1920x1200 , look at this metacode  >>> "metamodes" "DFP-0: nvidia-auto-select +0+0; DFP-0: nvidia-auto-select +0+0; DFP-0: 1920x1200 +0+0; DFP-0: 1920x1200_60 +0+0; DFP-0: 1600x1200 +0+0; DFP-0: 1600x1200_60 +0+0; DFP-0: 1280x1024 +0+0; DFP-0: 1280x1024_60 +0+0; DFP-0: 1280x960 +0+0; DFP-0: 1280x960_60 +0+0; DFP-0: 1024x768 +0+0; DF    >>>>  http://askubuntu.com/questions/224776/how-do-i-rotate-my-monitor-using-xorg02:47
OerHeksso try  1280x1024_60 or: 1280x960 or the last one should work, 1024x76802:47
Renzaticat first I thought it was mouse lag, but from typing on here, it seems my entire computer is freezing for a few seconds at random02:47
warfarenyeah we were looking at that.. sorry i just didnt fully understand it02:47
warfarendiaboliq:     Option         "metamodes" "1280x800@1920x1200 +0+0"02:48
warfarenthat right?02:48
diaboliqyes...but wrong by its standard02:48
warfarenok02:48
warfarenso lets try what Oer is suggesting.. what do i do? i looked at the link too02:48
warfarenOerHeks: why should i try the resolutions you suggest though? aren't they 4:3? my screen is 16:1002:49
diaboliqwarfaren, is this the actual laptop display?02:49
warfarendiaboliq: how do i know?02:49
diaboliqi mean no cable, this is physically the attached screen on a laptop?02:50
warfarenyes02:51
Renzaticokay, something is pegging my CPU at 100%, but my process monitor isn't showing what02:52
warfarenRenzatic: if you run top , what's the uppermost process?02:53
Renzaticokay, explain it to me like I'm 12 here. I'm assuming that's a terminal command, so how do I access it?02:53
warfarenRenzatic: yeah that's all. you run a terminal, type top and press enter02:54
warfarenyou'll get a list of the processes running, sorted with the most cpu intensive at the top02:54
Renzaticsyslog is what's eating all my cycles02:54
warfarenunder the white bold line02:54
Renzatic108.7 as of typing02:55
warfarensee the %CPU column? is it giving you a high value under that?02:55
warfarenokay02:55
Renzaticit's eating all of CPU1, and some of 202:55
Renzaticand the problem just randomly started after a reboot02:55
warfarenwell, there you have it i guess.. need to investigate syslog02:55
warfarensomehow02:55
Renzaticand what exactly is syslog? What does it do?02:55
diaboliqwarfaren, heres the thing02:55
Renzaticwait, one thing I did notice...02:55
warfarenit's the program that produces your logs02:56
Renzaticit brought up some random info on boot about not being able to fully utilize my integrated NIC02:56
diaboliqRenzatic, go do top first andnot get distracted02:56
warfarenhm i guess you could look under /var/log and see if you have some rapdily growing files there02:57
warfarendiaboliq: i think he did02:57
Renzaticyup, I'm in here now02:57
Renzaticsyslog is only occasionally topped by root02:57
Renzaticroot constantly spikes, jumping between 7 and 65%02:57
diaboliqRenzatic, look for process names on the right02:58
Renzaticsyslog will occasionally drop down to 40, but never lower02:58
Renzaticxorg and rsyslogd02:58
diaboliqyou're looking at the who, not as important02:58
warfarenyeah.. if you do du -h /var/log/syslog a few times (press up arrow to bring back previous command) you'll see the file sizes and if some of them keeps increasing a lot that could be intesreting02:58
Renzatick, let me check that out02:58
warfareni mean if it's a log proccess going crazy it should write a lot of logs, right?02:59
diaboliqor the size as it adds records02:59
Renzaticran it about 10 times, grew from 433 to 434 M (I'm assuming megs)02:59
warfarenyep02:59
Renzaticnow at 436, so it's slowly growing02:59
warfarenyeah. that's just one meg.. but that sounds like one huge log file02:59
warfarenyeah that's not slowly for a log03:00
Renzaticso what would be causing it?03:00
warfarenif you're growing a few megabytes in a few seconds in a log file sometihng's horribly wrong03:00
Renzaticthe only big changes I've made to my machine was experimenting with a few docks03:00
warfarenwhat's the big log called?03:00
RenzaticCairo and Docky, which I immediately uninstalled and purged03:00
diaboliqgoto the bottom Renzatic of the log see what it says03:00
RenzaticI assume I open up syslog?03:01
warfarenno03:01
Renzatichow would I do that from the terminal?03:01
Renzaticremember, I'm a newbie. I'm somewhat lost here :P03:01
warfarenin the output from that command (du -h /var/log ) one of the files you saw there was large right?03:02
Renzaticit just gave me a number03:02
warfarenhm oh yeah it doesnt list the files maybe.. sorry03:02
warfarenyeah it should, and give you the totals at the bottom03:02
Renzaticjust to clarify, the command is "du -h /var/log/syslog" correct?03:02
warfarenoh yeah i messed up sorry03:03
warfarenwell then we know what file it is03:03
Renzatic452 meg as of right now03:03
warfarenso i found the right file right away. haha03:03
warfarenanyway. do: cat /var/log/syslog03:03
warfarenno wait03:03
warfarendo tail -50 /var/log/syslog03:03

diaboliqrather than your upbringing03:07
warfarenRenzatic: okay well you were right about what you said before.. it should be related to your nic03:07
warfarenRenzatic: "eth1" in there is your NIC03:07
Morpheausnurow, either amd64 or i38603:07
Renzaticso assuming it is, unplugging it and disabling it should stop my log file from growing, correct?03:07
Morpheausnurow, how much RAM do you have on the machine?03:07
warfarennurow: yeah i answered that before. let me paste it again03:07
warfarennurow: it's only called AMD64 because AMD invented the 64 bit extension for the x86 architecture, it's sometimes also called x86-64 ... but intel uses the same thing too03:07
warfarennurow: so the answer is yes03:08
nurowawesome, thanks warfaren03:08
MarkPit@nurow yes03:08
warfarennp03:08
warfarenyeah amd64 if you want 64 bit and i386 if you want 32bit03:08

dabarI'll look into why it's not recommended at some pooint perhaps...03:17
dabarIn .htaccess, put RewriteEngine On03:17
wilorneldone03:17
dabarwilornel: I guess put a RewriteRule . inexistent-file.html [L]03:18
dabarOr something to test...03:18
dabarAfter RewriteEngine On03:18
wilornelwith pleasure03:19
dabarI'd say if it didn't complain after adding that RewriteEngine On, you're fairly sure it worked really.03:19
wilornelwell it did complain...03:19
dabarWhat did it say?03:19
wilornelWell if I try to access a /public/docs instead of /public/index.php/docs, it will throw a 40403:20
wilornelWhat is that rule you just told me about supposed to do?03:20
dabarwilornel: that's different03:20
dabarMaybe give you a 40403:20
wilornelindeed it does03:20
dabarI'm just trying to confirm mod_rewrite is now on03:20
dabarcan you ls /etc/apache2/mods-enabled03:20
dabarSee whether rewrite.load is there03:21
dabaror rewrite.something, not sure03:21
wilornelrewrite.load is in there03:21

dabarisn't the specific rule documented on the laravel site>03:21

Ari-Yangso I'd like to ask again, what's the advantage of disabling 'Undredirect Fullscreen Windows' in the compizconfig settings manager?03:22
dabarwilornel: OK, at this point I need to know exact .htaccess content and the URL03:22
dabarwilornel: hopefully you're familiar with pastebins.03:23
wilornelhttp://laravel.com/docs/install#cleaner-urls first one03:23
dabarFirst makes total sense for what you're talking about03:23
wilornelthe url is home.dev/public/docs. It would do the same as home.dev/public/index.php/docs03:23
wilornelIt should* do03:24
dabarIs that actually the exact content of your .htaccess? nothing else in it?03:24
wilornelyes03:24
dabarAnd you access your URLs with the public dir in them>03:24
dabarShouldn't public be your webroot?03:24
wilornelI have a /var/www/public. Im hosting other files in other folders03:25
=== FisherMack is now known as FisherMack|AFK
dabarMy guess public in laravel is same as in rails...03:25

dabarI mean, I don't really care...03:25

Renzatichey, if everyone who helped me is still in here, thanks. I got it sorted out.03:26
dabarJust trying to I guess confirm you understand you have the wrong webroot03:26
wilorneldabar: Nah it's fine I'm not allowing anyone else than me into the webroot03:27
wilorneldabar: I know how it works03:27
wilorneldabar: I have like /var/www/project203:27

dabarThis might be OK: http://pastebin.com/as8HxhBv03:27
dabarTry that03:27
dabarI'll probably be surprised if it does not do what you want.03:27
dabarWhere is that .htaccess file again?03:28
dabarInside public?03:28
wilornelyes03:28
wilornelthat htaccess doesnt work03:28
wilornelI think the mod_rewrite module isnt loaded03:28
dabartry a2<tab><tab> on the command line03:29
dabarSee what tools you have available03:29
dabarmaybe there is something that lets you see what modules are enabled03:29
dabarwilornel: usually the way I test stuff like that.......03:31
wilornela2enmod shows many options03:31
dabarwilornel: in .htaccess, if you put garbage, you get a 50003:31
dabarlike 'adfsdfad'03:31
dabarcode inside <IfModule …> blocks executes only if the module is actually enabled.03:32
wilorneloh! a2dismod | grep rewrite: rewrite, means rewrite is loaded03:32
dabarSo putting the garbage outside, confirming that 500s, then putting it inside the <IfModule> block confirming it 500s basically means it is loaded03:32
dabarindex.php is inside /public?03:32
wilornelwow this is really ***, I put asdlkjas into IfModule mod_rewrite, it still shows me a 404, not 50003:33
wilornelindex.php is inside /public, yes03:33
dabarWhat if you put that outside of the ifmodule?03:33
wilorneloh.03:33
wilornel404 not found03:33
wilornelalright then the htaccess is not even consulted03:34

wilornelI've been using php for about 2 years but didnt dive into frameworks03:43
dabarAh, I see.03:43
wilorneldabar: How long, the php?03:43

wilorneldabar: yes. It seems to me that this kind of problem should be possible to solve on any platform, not ubuntu/debian only03:51
dabarwilornel: you're not familiar with the fact that debian vastly modifies the httpd configuration and tools03:52
dabarLike, changes the way a sys admin interacts with apache vastly03:52
dabare.g. apache is nothing. it's httpd03:52
dabar"on any sane platform"03:52
dabarThat's thumbs saying that03:52

dabarAm I answering that in a way you can grasp?03:53

wilornelWhy is it wrong?03:54
=== ros is now known as ros_
dabarWhy diverge from the standard?03:54
wilornelI see03:54
dabarI don't know why either, but I'd guess that's the answer.03:54
yigalit's not a standard it's just redhat03:54
dabarBut from debian's point of view, they likely had a reason.03:54
dabarOr perhaps what yigal says is true.03:55
ros_im having screen tearing after updating 12.10. I do have hybrid graphics. do you think thats the reason? i dont know which gpu im using03:55
dabarThat debian just did what they did, then never bothered to converge with redhat.03:55
yigalthey shouldn't have to converge imo03:55
wilornelmhm03:55
dabarwilornel: in other words, I don't know, I'm just guessing03:55

wilornelhere: http://support.amd.com/us/gpudownload/Pages/index.aspx & here: https://downloadcenter.intel.com/default.aspx04:03

wilornelI downloaded AMD catalyst controller. I have an ATI graphics card04:04
wilornelros_04:04
ros_<wilornel> and the intel?04:04
wilornelI gave you the link04:05
ros_wilornel: im downloading the intel first. but i thought it is somewhat available on ubuntu after install?04:08
wilornelros_: I dont have an intel graphics card, but I dont think that ubuntu takes care of the drivers, you have to install them by yourself ( well that's what I always did )04:09
ToPhEr0613Im running an intel mobile 4 graphics card and ubuntu installed graphics drivers automatically in 12.10...just fyi04:10
ros_wilornel: the last time i tried installing catalyst for ATI, it didnt recognize my ati04:11

ros_i think im just running my intel. but observing my battery consumption, i believe that ati is running, too04:11
wilornelYou have an usual setup, two gaphics cards from two different companies04:11
ros_yeah, this is a laptop haha04:12
wilorneland well linux is not very good on graphics. It still has problems with nvidia04:12
wilornelReally? In a laptop? :o04:12
wilornelDo you plan on playing video games or making 3d models?04:12
ros_yes. i bought it for vidyas some time ago, but then i got bored or whatever, i just switched to linux. i wanted to use linux ever since but got scared of the cli's04:13
wilornelhahahah04:14
ros_in windows, the intel is my main gpu. and whenever i play vidyas, i would dedicate all the ati resources in that game.04:15
ros_but here, i believe i can just use intel right?04:15
ros_i have to figure out a way to shut off my ati04:16
wilorneldevelopers usualy dont port games to linux. Linus is usualy used to develop software04:16
wilornelWell... I have no idea how to stop giving power to a graphics card...04:17

wilornelhungryman3: What's up?04:19
hungryman3Having a pretty serious issue. I can't get Unity to work. Just upgraded to 13.04, and everything was all wella nd good... and then I tried to install ATI closed source drivers. broke everything. Fine, no problem, I went back to OSS Radeon graphics... and now Unity won't work at all. Reinstalled those OSS graphics, still can't get Unity to pop up. If I type in "Unity" to terminal it'll run, but without my settings saved.04:20
wilornelmaybe try "man Unity"04:22
wilornelthere you could make a search "/settings" or "/configurations"04:22
johnjohn1011if my brother is on 10.04LTS  and support ends in May what is the upgrade path he needs to take?04:22
wilornelhttp://lmgtfy.com/?q=update+ubuntu04:23
hungryman3Yeah I've tried other unity command lines but I can't get it to start up/ work properly. IDK if it's a Unity issue, or if it's a graphics issue. I suspect my graphics configuration is screwed up.04:23
wilornelactually ._. http://lmgtfy.com/?q=upgrade+ubuntu04:23
wilornelhungryman3: Im sorry I dont know the solution :(04:24
hungryman3@ johnjohn1011 , I would imagine "updata-manager -d" is all you need.04:24
johnjohn1011will i be able to put him on 12.04 without every version in between?04:24
wilornelyeah why would it have to go through every version04:25
wilornelubuntu handles the upgrade "path" I think04:25

jackwSteam is awesome04:45
moyam01i am having trouble with 12.04. i tried to put in a custom .xinintrc but the commands are not initialing04:46
kriskropdsteam just came out of beta a few weeks ago - I wouldn'tbe surprised if it did get included in 13.04 or something04:46
johnjohn1011is steam officially supported by ubuntu?04:46
Zackabsolutely04:46
aeon-ltdkriskropd: did you check basic stuff like is the  source good, is it muted, does the hardware work etc?04:46
kriskropdjohnjohn1011: no, but steam is specifically targetting ubuntu - canonical would be nuts not to take advantage of it04:46
kriskropdaeon-ltd: yes i did - check pastebin above ....  http://pastebin.com/p1v0QtBU04:47
aeon-ltdkriskropd: is it the only output in alsamixer?04:48
kriskropdthe livedisk has kernel 3.5.7 version 17 and my netinstall has 3.5.7 version 27. I have to manually run the pulseaudio start and log command, but it should work04:48
kriskropdaeon-ltd: every output is unmuted and maximized - the real problem though is everything treats it as a dummy device like pulseaudio isn't running at all04:49
kriskropdi can access alsamixer only as root or a user in group 'audio'04:50
kriskropdneither of which is ideal or convenient even04:50
kriskropdthe only reason i have to start /usr/bin/pulseaudio --start --target-log=syslog myself is because i log in using sulogin and run startx to a dwm environment04:51
kriskropdlightdm seems to cause a memory leak for some reason04:52
kriskropdthe actual error I get when trying to run alsamixer as non-root or non'audio' grouped user is 'cannot open mixer: No such file or directory04:54
mladouxkriskropd, sudo useradd -G audio username04:56
mladouxlogout, log back in04:56
mladouxthen try it.04:56
kriskropdmladoux: the problem with that solution is users in audio group work differently now when pulseaudio is introduced04:57

mladouxit's worth a shot anyway, worst case scenario, you're right where you left off.04:59
mladouxit might just be pulse05:00
kriskropdi have to wonder if pulse audio is setup properly at all on here05:00
mladouxkriskropd, that I can not say.05:00
kriskropdit was pulse, rebooting05:00
mladouxyou shouldn't need to reboot.05:00
kriskropdtoo late :P05:00
mladouxlog out and log in should fix it.05:00
mladouxoh well05:00
mladouxsame result05:00
mladouxit'll either work, or it won't05:00
mladouxI'm not an audio guru, but this sounds like a permissions issue, so it was worth a shot.05:01
kriskropdassuming the livecd ubuntu user didnt need either audio or pulse groups to work would suggest to me that this won't work05:01
mindbender1how can I add a user that looks like that of the postgres user i.e doesn't appear on the login screen?05:01
mladouxkriskropd, I have no idea.05:01
mladouxanyway, it's better than nothing.05:01
kriskropdmladoux: yeah, didn't work, ty for idea though05:02
johnjohn1011i just received an excel file that libre office will not open.05:02
mladouxI've never had your issue, so I'm not sure what else to try.05:02
mladouxkriskropd, no worries.05:02
johnjohn1011is there anyway to know if libreoffice 4.0 will open it without having to install it?05:04
kriskropdjohnjohn1011: not being a microsoft office specialist or anything, I would expect the file format is one of those special proprietary formats that microsoft likes and most user's don't - see if you can find an online converter from whatever format that file is to .xls05:05
johnjohn1011i wonder if it's password protected05:05
kriskropd.xls is still microsoft format, but it is older and more supported and should load just fine in libreoffice05:05
johnjohn1011its .xlsx   i guess i need to investigate.05:05
kriskropdi would try converting it first, some converters ahve webapps that process the conversion on server and just give you a download while im sure there might be actual converters you can download or compile05:06
kriskropdhave*05:06
kriskropdjohnjohn1011: I just foudn this in ubuntu repos 'sudo apt-get install libfreexl1'05:07
kriskropdfound* that might let you load xlsx files into libreoffice05:08
johnjohn1011thanks trying that now05:09
johnjohn1011didnt work05:11
kriskropdjohnjohn1011: then my last suggestion is to try a converter, otherwise I'd assume the file is corrupt or something05:12
kriskropdfor anyone following my issue: despite have pulse audio running, pavucontrol throws "Fatal Error: Unable to conenct to PulseAudio: OK" also noted that vlc threw this message "[0x245a568] inhibit interface error: Failed to connect to the D-Bus session daemon: Failed to connect to socket /tmp/dbus-9woAn4NvXU: Connection refused"05:13
mouseofthesteppeheya ubuntu lovers, does the fstab file in the etc directory under file system always reliably show whether a home directory on that hard drive is encrypted or not?05:14
kriskropdmouseofthesteppe: I don't think so05:14
n1xis there any difference between /etc/crontab and the "sudo su root; crontab -e" ?05:14
mouseofthesteppekriskropd: what's a better way of knowing?05:14
kriskropdmouseofthesteppe: I'm not sure, mine certainly doesn't suggest the home directory is encrypted (single partition install) - I suppose the easiest way is to try access the machine without the correct user and being greeted with an empty home directory05:16

kriskropdGuest4885: whats the actual error? pastebin.com it if it is too long05:25
mouseofthesteppekriskropd: could i just record my encryption passphrase at command line? wouldn't that prove if it's encrypted?05:25
kriskropdmouseofthesteppe: I'm not sure - tbh I had a hell of a time trying to crack my own ecryptfs after a hard disk ailure so i decided to avoid ecrypt since then05:25

TPiazzai have documented a bunch of steps needed to install a set of software we need on a new install of ubuntu 12.10 desktop, some of these steps are interactive, what's the best way to automate this; a .deb, a PPA or something else?05:45
ntzrmtthihu777erm, sudo checkinstall etc05:45
johnjohn1011i needed the newer version of curl which was impossible to do with pkg mgmt via raring repos, so i compiled it locally05:46
ntzrmtthihu777TPiazza: I find ppa is always the best way to go, so you can get updates as they come. and if you feel you must compile something from source use checkinstall to make it undoable.05:46
johnjohn1011well i have to roll it out to a few computers05:47
TPiazzantzrmtthihu777: can one PPA reference another one?05:47
x0auserhi guys is there anyone here ?05:48
johnjohn1011raring repos have too much to upgrade but it compiled and works well with base 12.04 version05:49
ntzrmtthihu777TPiazza: hmm, not that I am aware of atm, but one package can reference another.05:49
ntzrmtthihu777TPiazza: oh, you mean a ppa to install everything from the get-go?05:50
TPiazzantzrmtthihu777: for example, one step is to install oracle java via this command: add-apt-repository ppa:webupd8team/java05:50
x0auserwhen a window is opened in ubuntu 12.04 , her location is in the top of the left corner ! how can i change it ?05:51

ntzrmtthihu777johnjohn1011: yup, I have one myself. launchpad.05:52
TPiazzantzrmtthihu777: followed by - apt-get update and apt-get install oracle-java6-installer05:52
ntzrmtthihu777TPiazza: Yeah, I use that one too. if you are looking to do this on a new machine you could easily write a bash script to do it for you.05:52
TPiazzantzrmtthihu777: i tried that but not sure about forcing interactive mode for bash script, any thoughts on that?05:54
ntzrmtthihu777TPiazza: interactive is easy, my best work is an interactive bash script in my ppa05:55

LartzaAraneidae, :D07:31
LartzaI am probably more confused thatn you07:31

Lartzaroot____7, Graphics drivers?07:31
Lartzaroot____7, What have you done after install? :)07:31
ntzrmtthihu777root____7: are you logged in as root?07:32
root____7Well, I have downloaded a Linux driver from Nvidia website with ".run" format, but when I double-click on it it just stops responding.. anyway, I have installed some basic stuff like xrdp07:32
sarujiLarsi, my problem was that /boot only had 27meg left and I kept getting error messages about not having enough space to update, so I ran sudo apt-get autoclean and * clean07:32
Lartzaroot____7, Nonono...07:33
ntzrmtthihu777root____7: what Lartza said.07:33
Lartzaroot____7, You crashed your car the moment you got that Nvidia driver07:33
Lartza:)07:33
root____7Lartza, the problem appeared before I downloaded it.07:33
Lartzasaruji, How big is your boot? You made the partition yourself?07:33
Lartzaroot____7, Also, what ntzrmtthihu777 said why are you as root?07:34
Lartzaroot____7, Are you on desktop now as root?07:34
jazsomby here07:34
sarujiLarsi, I was able to update my system after clearing out my trash bin but doing a df -h I see that /boot still has only about 27 megs left.  Looking in that directory I see a bunch of vmlinuz.generic and initrd.img files07:34
=== jaz is now known as Guest70381
root____7I think so, I am working as an Administrator account.07:34
Guest70381cuze me07:34
ntzrmtthihu777saruji: install ubuntu-tweak, it will clean up all your extra kernal images and such07:35
sarujiLartza, I went through the ubuntu 12.10 install using the guided method and ext 407:35
Guest70381is there any  engineer here07:35
Guest70381?????????????07:35
Lartzaroot____7, Are you on desktop or tty now?07:35
LartzaGuest70381, Ask don't ask to ask...07:35
sarujintzrmtthihu777, can i remove kernel images from /boot that are old?  Why are all the old ones kept or rather left there?07:35
root____7I am on a desktop, Lartza :)07:35
Lartzaroot____7, Okay, did you use "root" to login to the desktop?07:36
sarujiLartza, also my /boot is 229 meg07:36
Lartzasaruji, That should be plenty then, use ubuntu-tweak then like someone suggested(I haven't used) or check grub what kernel it is using and be sure not to remove that one07:36
LartzaIf manually removing07:36
root____7@Lartza - no, I am logging with account name I have created myself, but at the description of this account says "Administrator".07:37
LartzaYeah that's fine...07:37
sarujiLartza, how can i check what kernel grub is using?07:37
Lartzaroot____7, But why is your irc client root?07:37
Lartzasaruji, Umm...07:37
Lartza:D07:37
sarujiLartza, googling07:37
wilee-nileeits the user name07:38
root____7Don't know :D Maybe because I decided to use a terminal IRC client, and I logged in the terminal as SU, so I can install it and then forgot to log out the SU.07:38
auronandaceroot____7: open a terminal, what do you see if you type in: id07:38
Lartzaroot____7, Yeah generally don't run IRC as root... but that resolved now umm07:39
sarujiLartza, how can I automate the process of removing old kernels automatically?  Seems like something is not working, I dont think it was intended to work this way.07:39
root____7uid=1000(miki) gid=1000(miki) groups=1000(miki),4(adm),24(cdrom),27(sudo),30(dip),46(plugdev),107(lpadmin),124(sambashare)07:39
Lartzasaruji, Don't know :( They should be removed automatically07:39
Lartzaroot____7, Did you run the Nvidia package as root?07:39
auronandaceroot____7: good, you are your user, thanks07:39
sarujiLartza, is there a way to see a boot log to check the errors?07:39
wilee-nileethe irc client will show the user name as user in the who is07:40
Lartzawilee-nilee, We know, but didn't know WHY it was showing root07:40
ntzrmtthihu777saruji: not a clue about the why, but yeah, ubuntu-tweak will clean them all07:40
sarujintzrmtthihu777, ok thanks07:40
AraneidaeWhere am I going to find a 64-bit libSDL-1.2.so.0?07:41
Lartzasaruji, /var/log/boot.log and dmesg at least :/07:41
sarujintzrmtthihu777, anyway that I could take a look at the startup logs? or any other logs to view?07:41
Lartzadmesg won't probably be much help07:41
Lartzasaruji, Why do you want to see these logs?07:41
ntzrmtthihu777saruji: likely, but I don't know how. I'm not that much of a wizard07:41
Lartzasaruji, I doublt kernels are wiped at boot07:41
root____7Lartza, I don't think so. I tried to run it on the GUI by double-click. Then a GEDIT window appeared and stayed blank for like 5 minutes. When I tried to close it it said "Not Responding", so I don't think I have installed any package at all.07:41
Lartzaroot____7, That is GOOD!07:41
Lartza:)07:41
Lartzanow07:41
Lartzaroot____7, Have you installed or tried to install anything else without apt-get?07:42
AraneidaeBah.  It's on my system, the stupid program is looking in the wrong place :(07:42
Lartzaroot____7, apt-get install xrdp right? right?? :D07:42
sarujiLartza, because i thought maybe something was breaking at boot...i'm guessing I guess thats why, i want my system to not have problems so I'm just trying to learn and avoid mistakes07:43
root____7Yes, but only user stuff like Skype and Chromium, and again it was on the GUI. Anything I installed from terminal was "apt-get install"07:43
root____7yes, including XRDP :D07:43
Lartzaroot____7, chromium-browser is actually in repos, skype is not, but it's not bad if you don't install stuff as root07:44
Lartzaroot____7, So the freezing, have you tried refreshing the system otherwise than rebooting?07:44
LartzaKilling X for example07:44
LartzaAnd does the problem persist07:44
LartzaAre your tty's also lagging then07:44
Lartza?07:44
sarujiLartza, still trying to figure out which kernel my grub is using?  Any command shortcut you know of?07:45
ntzrmtthihu777uname should, no?07:45
Lartzantzrmtthihu777, Not if he has multiple kernels of the same version07:45
root____7I didn't have the chance, Lartza :( Even if I live long enough to reach anything with the mouse cursor, the click is not recognized. Even if I click non-stop, or make a long press on the mouse button, nothing happens.. The same problem with the keyboard..07:45
Lartzantzrmtthihu777, Doesn't show the name of the actual image being loaded07:45
ntzrmtthihu777saruji: see, not that much of a wizard. :P07:46
sarujintzrmtthihu777, lol its ok, I ran uname and got "linux"07:46
Lartzaroot____7, ctrl+alt+f1 to change to a tty07:46
Lartzasaruji, uname -a ;)07:46
root____7should I do it now? or?07:46
sarujiLartza, sweet thanks07:47
Lartzaroot____7, No, when it starts lagging :)07:47
root____7Ahh, right :)07:47
Lartzasaruji, also like I said earlier /boot/grub/grub.cfg is a config for the menu07:47
Lartzagenerated so edits will be lost, but you can check it07:47
Lartzaroot____7, Now I assume you have upgraded all packages in your system no?07:47
root____7I think so.07:48
Lartzaroot____7, And preferably rebooted after that07:48
root____7yes07:48
ntzrmtthihu777ah, gotta remember the -a.07:48
Lartzaroot____7, If you want 3D accelerated Nvidia drivers, you don't get the Nvidia run file :)07:48
ntzrmtthihu777saruji: you may find inxi of use, its a nifty sysinfo script that gets ya some good info. example:07:48

Lartzaroot____7, See these instructions https://help.ubuntu.com/community/BinaryDriverHowto/Nvidia?action=show&redirect=RestrictedDrivers%2FNVIDIA07:48
root____7And the graphic drivers should fix the issue?07:49
Lartzaroot____7, Well... the nouveau driver should work(which is now being used) so no promises :)07:49
Wulfie.07:49
Lartzaroot____7, Why were you getting the run in the first place? Windows habits? ;)07:50
sunusleehi, when i use dpkg-buildpackage -b -rfakeroot -us -uc, can i just build the .deb of that package and omit the dependencise's .deb file?07:50
sarujiok well just used tweak and removed all of my "old kernels"....it was 700+megs, hope i did not break nothing07:50
sarujireally worried right now07:50
Lartzaroot____7, I mean, you were on desktop, resolution was fine, drivers were obviously fine07:50
root____7Kinda :D Just decided to move from Windows to Linux.07:50
root____7Yes, everything looks great07:51
root____7no wrinkles, no shattering, no blurs07:51
Lartzaroot____7, Yeah nouveau works but has no 3D acceleration and some other bells and whistles07:51
sunusleehi, when i use dpkg-buildpackage -b -rfakeroot -us -uc, can i just build the .deb of that package and omit the dependencise's .deb file?07:51
Lartzaroot____7, Try the restricted drivers, then you can play games :)07:51
Lartzaand it could fix the freezing, who knows :)07:52
zvacetsaruji: why didn´t you remove them from synaptic?  ;)07:52
root____7Right, a thousand thanks for your time, Lartza :))) Is there a way I can contact you again another time?07:52
ntzrmtthihu777saruji: nah, you're cool07:53

arkieI have a Brother HL-2270DW which is a wifi printer on my LAN07:56

=== versi is now known as kalkov
Lartzadeffrag, This is kind of out my knowledge, it is probably not /etc/default/grub07:58
sunusleentzrmtthihu777:  but i only want foo.deb and i will make a bar.deb myself07:59
ntzrmtthihu777sunuslee: do they both have make files?07:59
sunusleentzrmtthihu777:  what?07:59
arkieNo one?07:59
Lartzadeffrag, Wait patiently and someone will notice and know hopefully :)07:59
ntzrmtthihu777arkie: gotta run dpkg -i with sudo07:59
arkieThanks ntzrmtthihu77707:59
sunusleentzrmtthihu777:  i only apt-get source foo07:59
ntzrmtthihu777sunuslee: out of curiousity, why not apt-get install foo?08:00
sunusleentzrmtthihu777:  i want to modify some code :)08:00
ntzrmtthihu777sunuslee: ahh, the glory of foss/gnu :D08:00
sunusleentzrmtthihu777:  and it might also modify the code of dependcecy , so i just want the .deb of that package, no more08:01
arkieIt still doesn't work ntzrmtthihu777 , but now it says that there is no such file/directory.08:01
sunusleentzrmtthihu777:  yeah:)08:01
arkieDo I need to cd to the directory where the .deb is?08:01
ntzrmtthihu777arkie: are you serious? yes, of course you do.08:01
ntzrmtthihu777no matter how hard you try you're not gonna eat a sandwitch in another room from you08:02
LartzaAnyone know ruby? I am trying to run something on it but it suggests to sudo make install 1.9.3 which is not really what should be done :)08:02
ntzrmtthihu777Lartza: yeah, I use ruby :D08:02
sunusleeLartza:  try rvm:)08:03
LartzaProblem is the software's init script is probably not aware of the environment I create... mhh08:03
deffragLartza: No, I didn't edit /etc/default/grub. I only remember adding to that 40_custom.save file.08:03
deffragOkay.08:03
ntzrmtthihu777sunuslee: honestly I only build debs for things I cant apt-get install, like sfml 2.0 or higan and such.08:03
Lartzadeffrag, pastebin 40_custom.save08:03
ntzrmtthihu777or ruby2.008:04
deffragI did that in my question itself :) Lartza08:04
Lartzadeffrag, Yeah noticed, sorry08:04
deffragHello! I'm using Ubuntu 12.10 and updating and upgrading packages I got errors as pasted here - http://paste.ubuntu.com/5703828/ .Its around grub as far as I could understand. /etc/grub.d/40_custom.save - http://paste.ubuntu.com/5703837/08:04

ntzrmtthihu777sunuslee: and that's just because its a pita to remove somethink you make installed08:04
ntzrmtthihu777Lartza: what is the output of ruby --version?08:05
Lartzantzrmtthihu777, I don't have ruby installed08:05
Lartzantzrmtthihu777, repo's have 1.9.1 no?08:05
ntzrmtthihu777Lartza: ah, just apt-get install ruby1.9.308:05
sunusleentzrmtthihu777:  i don't want the depencecies's .deb08:05
ntzrmtthihu777sunuslee: yeah, I understand. I just don't know the answer XD08:06
sunusleentzrmtthihu777:  :<08:06
sunusleentzrmtthihu777:  i hate manually remove those file.. god08:06
Lartzantzrmtthihu777, repo is p194 and latest is p392, does that matter much? :)08:06
LartzaI am not a Ruby user if you haven't noticed yet ;)08:06
sunusleeLartza:  i don't think that matters08:07
ntzrmtthihu777sorry :( had you downloaded some freaky source code I could tell you, but modding an existing deb is beyond me atm.08:07
ntzrmtthihu777Lartza: yeah, unless you08:07
ntzrmtthihu777re going for the bleeding edge 1.9.3 is good enough.08:07
LartzaOkay then, how dirty is installing gems?08:07
ntzrmtthihu777Lartza: easy as pie.08:07
ntzrmtthihu777sudo gem install foo08:08
LartzaI mean I had some problems with Perl08:08
LartzaI couldn't REMOVE them easily and not sure where they scattered themselves08:08
LartzaKind of same problems with pip install on python08:08
ntzrmtthihu777locate is a wonderous shell command :D08:08
Lartzantzrmtthihu777, Mhh :)08:08
ntzrmtthihu777Lartza: nah, gem's are easy, for the moste part.08:08
Lartzantzrmtthihu777, Or never remove the gems ;)08:08
LartzaOkay thanks for all this info, I'll go grab some breakfast and then start installing08:09
ntzrmtthihu777unless, again, you need something bleeding edge gems are pretty straight forward.08:09
Lartzantzrmtthihu777, I probably won't, I am installing a stable branch of a software :)08:09
ntzrmtthihu777like for instance the sfml gem is not in the gem repos yet, so you have to rake rake all rake gem gem install it yourself XD08:09
Lartzantzrmtthihu777, gitlab, if you are curious :)08:09
LartzaMhh08:09
LartzaEverything should be in gem repos since I followed the installation instructions once with a Ruby I compiled myself and sudo make installed08:10
LartzaSo yeah08:10

jephbhi every,i would like to ask the advice.actually i am using ubuntu 12.10 as operating system, and sometimes it get crashed,but i haven't yet used xubuntu or kubuntu, i was thinking that xubuntu or kubuntu may work perfectly for me but i am not sure if i can do everything i use to do with ubuntu.so i would like to know if there is the big difference in terms of performace of what they can do?08:57
Lartzajephb, All can do everything the other can really08:57
mikinouveau-firmware - Firmware for nVidia graphics cards08:58
mikinvidia-settings - Tool for configuring the NVIDIA graphics driver08:58
mikithis is what I find08:58
Lartzajephb, They just use the different desktop environment, Kubuntu can be heavier than Ubuntu, but Xubuntu is lighter08:58
Lartzamiki, No you want to open a window like https://help.ubuntu.com/community/BinaryDriverHowto/Nvidia?action=AttachFile&do=get&target=drivers_dialog.png08:58

Lartzamiki, jockey-gtk should be the gui ran from terminal09:02

repsajGood day, I have a question related to UCK and automount. I would like to disable the automount feature on my new Live CD. To do so I tried to use the command "gsettings set org.gnome.desktop.media-handling automount false" in the UCK customization tool (terminal). After I made my new LiveUSB this did not work out. After that I tried to put an .sh script into /etc/rc.local with again the...09:13

sunusleehi, can i use grep with two strings? no one string and a file09:39
TantorHello. I'm very unknown to preg_replace, read the manual, but I still don't get it. My goal is to replace a part of a text. This part to replace looks like this:<cs>Here is some text</cs>. My goal is to replace the text and tags as a whole. How should the pattern be? Now I have this: preg_replace('/<cs>(.*)<\/cs>/is', 'Test', $text);09:39

histosunuslee: then what is the target in yoru example?09:46
sunusleehisto:  let's say patten is "asd" , target is "asdlala". it should be matched09:47
repsajsunuslee: how did you defined the string?09:47

historepsaj: so the setting is not staying10:09
repsajjups10:10
historepsaj: can you confirm after setting it with gsettings then get it that the value changed?10:10
repsajin UCK I see it changed10:11
repsajso after that I build the .iso and run it trough virtualbox. And in virtualbox it says different than in UCK10:11

repsajhisto: is gsettings a setting for a user or is it system wide?10:14

repsajthat would mean I must make a user on my new liveCD to disable automount?10:16
historepsaj: what user is on your livecd already?10:16
repsajin UCK there is no user, but it uses the user from the host. When I launch the liveCD it makes the user 'ubuntu'10:17
historepsaj: so make the settings system wide then it should work. With gsettings it would only change the logged in users settings.10:19

ZoRRghIsn't emacs gui based?12:04
jribZoRRgh: there's a gui just like there's a gui for vim, but you can run it in your shell12:04
ZoRRghI didn't know that. I might check that out.12:05
moppersnano is quite basic, not many features compared to vim or emacs: really cannot compare them as they're different products for differenet functions12:05
mopperserr i mean nano is a different class of program to vim or emacs12:05
moppersnano is great for simple text editing, if you want anything more complex, i find you need vim or emacs12:06
compdocnano has everything I need in a text editor. never used a feature in vi that nano didnt have and made easier12:06
moppersYes, it's subjective12:06
ZoRRghOkay. So nano is like the name implies were small editing tool.12:07
BluesKajnano is certainly handy when stuck in a tty after an X problem ...saved my bacon a few times12:07
moppersya, they all have their uses12:08
ZoRRghThanks guys. Ill just continue being afk now. ^^12:08
moppersif you need stuff like a debugger for code, you need vim: nano won't do it. if you just need to write shell scripts, nano is really easy to use12:10

xzcvczxand headers etc, as javac is used for "compiling" .java files into .class files then java runs them12:23
shafoxxzcvczx: so which package to install?? i am not a java developer, so i just need the programs that need java to run smoothly12:23

LinuxHipsterGuys sorry a quick question12:51
delocazHello! I'm wondering how to open the little boot menu when booting from a live CD without a working keyboard, since it only recieves power after that little logo that says keyboard=man goes away12:51
MonkeyDustLinuxHipster  hope we have a quick answer12:51
LinuxHipsterHow do I turn off ubuntu default desktop :0 and just use tightvnc to control my OS remotely12:51
xzcvczxdelocaz: get usb keyboard :P12:51
LinuxHipsterfrom desktop :2 or :312:51
LinuxHipster":0"12:51
delocazxzcvczx, I am using an USB keyboard12:51
MonkeyDust!mini12:52
ubottuThe Minimal CD image is very small in size, and it downloads most packages from the Internet during installation, allowing you to select only those you want (the installer is like the one on the !Alternate CD). See https://help.ubuntu.com/community/Installation/MinimalCD12:52
xzcvczxdelocaz: thats odd, what sort of keyboard? i assume you can't use keyboard to access bios either then?12:52
[deXter]delocaz, There should be an option in the BIOS to enable USB input devices ... legacy mode or something like that12:53
delocaz[deXter], i'm gonna try that. brb12:53
xzcvczx[deXter]: if he can access bios :P12:53
shafoxxzcvczx: it gave whereis java java: /etc/java /usr/share/java12:56
LinuxHipsterHow do I kill Ubuntu's default desktop that runs on screen "desktop :0" and just use tightvnc or xrdp to control my linux from "desktop :1"12:57
xzcvczxLinuxHipster: why do you need to stop it from running the desktop on :0?12:57
xzcvczxLinuxHipster: you can set it up for vnc on another desktop and still have :0 up12:58
LinuxHipsterI am will control the laptop from another laptop on same network12:58

xzcvczxshafox: it seems that java is becoming a bit of a dead art these days (well on desktop anyway)13:21
ThomasM_xzcvczx if the link points to the bus its not possible for me to use the symlink in c++ to open a deviece also its not possible to use it in the shell13:21

zykotick9IdleOne: i agree with you!15:23

eltigrehey I would like to upgrade to 13.04, but I can't, because all blogs/instructions I found want to do that with  update-manager -d and that won't let me upgrade to 13.0415:24

wilee-nileeeltigre, I would wait for it to be released, this problem alone makes one wonder if you can't get around it without help if you are making a wise decision. ;)15:26

The i5 one reports reads of 412MB/sec (10.9GB.sec cached), writes of 429MB/sec. New one reads 410MB/sec (9GB/sec cached), writes 262MB/sec. New...15:37

culpn8rxzcvczx run that before installing the bcmwl-kernel-source?15:49
xzcvczxculpn8r: well b43 is rubbish anyway, try running jockey or whatever and install the restricted driver for your wifi15:49
xzcvczxthinkinhurtz: well if you have managed to nuke your libreoffice permissions i find it very unlikely all you did was add some users to your system15:50
culpn8rxzcvczx: ive tried using the one in the restricted drivers menu but that doesnt work either. i also have to manually start networking with 'sudo dhclient eth0' just to get ethernet working15:50

TakagamiI did... it's pretty dead in there today15:53
TakagamiI would assume as it is based off the ubuntu core and uses the same installer core...15:54
ohWhen a directory is created with a mask 0775, then group should have write permission correct ?15:54
TakagamiJust wondering if anyone uses it on a UEFI system... or has had experience in here..15:54
xzcvczxwell we are not to know how much divergence there is so not willing to say yay or nay15:54

martylaWhat reason would make my logitech G930 headset cause the unity UI to become unresponsive? (i.e. clicking on any of the HUD doesn't react, can't open/close/maximize etc, however shortcuts like ctrl+alt+T still work and bring up terminal). This occurs on login with about a 50% chance, and logging into guest account and then back to normal user fixes it.15:58

SonikkuAmericaMonkeyDust: For support purposes, as opposed to? I would recommend using the !LTS if you're worried about support.16:15
betraydHE does the support16:15
theadminSonikkuAmerica: As in, to provide help to others16:16
leoloveMonkeyDust : You will always get more support for LTS :) It is my experience16:16
betraydhe the man16:16
SonikkuAmerica*facepalm* I knew that... :\16:16
zykotick9wilee-nilee: sure enough.  factoid is wrong.  thanks.  10.04LTS's EOL will be a very sad day for me...16:16
MonkeyDustleolove  i meant *giving* support16:16

ubottuUbuntu 10.04 LTS (Lucid Lynx) was the twelfth release of Ubuntu. Download http://releases.ubuntu.com/10.04/ - Release Info: http://www.ubuntu.com/getubuntu/releasenotes/1004 - Supported until April 2013 (Desktop), April 2015 (Server)16:17
ampdelocaz: are you running an nVidia GT240 by any chance?16:17
SonikkuAmericazykotick9: For me, April 25th will be the end of an ear.16:17
iUnifyalright, so, my boot aparently isn't set to load from USB anymore, so, when I did the restart I hit F2 which brought me to a screen asking if I wanted to boot recovery, whic hI did... the process completly screwed up.... something to the extent of timeout kill..... and, than another screen with options and that timeout kll message just kept screwing up ghosting over the screen.... than it froze... i shut off pc hard, and it started16:17
iUnifyfine... imeadiatly many program system errors.  i am still going to do as you said now and run live but i wanted to give you an update and see if you had anything else to say.16:17
xzcvczxiUnify: redownload the ubuntu image md5sum it and reinstall16:18
SonikkuAmericazykotick9: Or the end of an *ERA I hope (I don't wanna be another Van Gogh)16:18
ohnoxyzIm still trying to get smb folder permission of created directorys to allow writing for the group, conf file says i should set the "directory mask = 0775" to get group write permission but i was told mask = 0775 will not do this ?16:18
Sternslovcsome awful noob questions here, can the movie player (totem) play streamtorrent or ace stream files?16:18
iUnifyok, md5sum, is that  filetype?16:18
theadminohnoxyz: Usually, mask is the opposite of permissions, that is, mask 777 will result in 000 permissions16:18
theadminohnoxyz: Not sure if that's the case for Samba.16:19
theadminohnoxyz: Sounds you want 000216:20
xzcvczxtheadmin: you make it too easy16:20
theadminxzcvczx: ?16:20
zykotick9theadmin: i's call umask a "subtraction" (instead of opposite) of full permissions (your point / example still correct ;)16:20
ohnoxyztheadmin: the smb.conf has comment says "If you want to16:20
ohnoxyz# create dirs. with group=rw permissions, set next parameter to 0775."16:20
theadminohnoxyz: Well, if it's in the comment and you didn't put the comment there, it's gotta be right :P16:20
xzcvczxtheadmin: this is about his 5th nick that he has used now trying to get help with that and i have advised him that mask != mode16:20
ohnoxyztheadmin: well it should be ;)16:21
Sternslovcsorry to be an ass but is anyone able to shed some light on how to open streamtorrent or acestream files on ubuntu?16:24
ohnoxyzxzcvczx: really sorry im changing my nick here, and i tried looking up the difference(mask != mode) but im a bit confused because of the difference what comments in the conf says and what that normal mask behavior is ...16:24

iUnifyshould i format my usb as well?16:26
compdocwhich is in russian, Sopcast or the football match?16:27
bekksiUnify: Why do you want to do it?16:27
xzcvczxiUnify: no16:27
SternslovcI've sopcast running, the feed is russian, it's an english game.16:27
xzcvczxiUnify: what device is your usb drive on16:27
xzcvczx/dev/sd[a-e]?16:27
SternslovcBut the higher quality English feeds use different streaming methods, acestream and streamtorrent16:27
xzcvczxSternslovc: sorry i am not sure we can help you with illegal streaming methods in here16:28
delocazamp: I think it's integrated something16:28
SternslovcAh ok.16:28
SternslovcIt's not illegal though16:28
iUnifyagain, appoligies, device?  It's plugged into my usb on my laptop.16:28
uwrythembox can go fk itself16:29
SternslovcIn the UK it's illegal to provide the stream but perfectly legal to watch the stream16:29
SternslovcJust gonna scrub up on my russian16:29

xzcvczxSternslovc: well regardless neither sopcast nor anything like that is remotely related to ubuntu so not the best channel to ask in16:30
xzcvczxiUnify: no16:30
zykotick9delocaz: if you want to find you graphics card, in a terminal try "lspci -vnn | grep -i vga"16:30
xzcvczxiUnify: open up disks16:31
xzcvczxand see whether you can find mention of /dev/sd...16:31

delocaz'cause I have no idea where the | key is on an english keyboard16:34

xzcvczxyou will be able ot upgrade16:44
fsapoxzcvczx ok, thanks.16:44
xzcvczxbut unless you are happy to have a system that may not be 100% its not recommended16:44
xzcvczxfsapo: and for future reference #ubuntu+1 is better for next version discussion16:44
zykotick9rainbowwarrior: adjustment to xzcvczx's command "df -h | egrep '\''(Size|root|sd)'\'' " ;)  that one might be too fancy.  maybe "df -h | grep sd" is more reasonable.16:44
fsapoxzcvczx thats not a problem, the only problem is having to reconfigure everything, if that was the case I would wait16:45
xzcvczxzykotick9: must you :P16:45

zykotick9xzcvczx: using cat instead of dd, was the intended method for creating hybrid iso/usb usb installers.  with ubuntu, that's a little bit harding due to the redirect breaking sudo (but can be done, with sudo 'command' or running sudo -i first.  dd should work just fine, but i'm just saying this isn't "really" the origianlly suggested method.16:48
fsapoxzcvczx I'm looking for the link, but the wiki says it was built with a different lib than 13.04 and chromium should be used instead, but the docs might be outdated16:48
zykotick9s/harding/harder/16:48
theadminzykotick9: Ubuntu images are hybrid by default, it works just fine. WIth older releases, you may need to preprocess images with "isohybrid" utility first16:49
riobeAnyone else here use pidgin? I installed it from the software center and when I open it or click it from the letter icon in the notification menu, no buddy list or UI comes up at all. I have no idea how to interact with it. Can anyone help?16:49
dr_willisfsapo: it worked yesterday fir me16:49
zykotick9theadmin: i know.  my point, is cat was the originally devised way of creating those usb images.16:49
xzcvczxrainbowwarrior: then yeah you will need to run the du -sh * and see where its all being used16:49
xzcvczxfsapo: then #ubuntu+1 please16:49

LartzaSonikkuAmerica, Okay17:24
SonikkuAmerica(I know what you're talking about)17:24
MrUnagiI dunno how to ask what im trying to do,...it's probably not possible.....rsync works over ssh right?17:24
DarkAceZHow do I change the number of open files limit in Linux?17:25
MonkeyDustMrUnagi  yes17:25
LartzaDarkAceZ, temporarily or permanently?17:25
zykotick9MonkeyDust: rsync CAN work over ssh (or nfs, or local)17:25
DarkAceZpermanently17:25
DarkAceZit's currently 102417:26
DarkAceZI think17:26
MrUnagiMonkeyDust: Is it possible to use a running rsync to start a reverse ssh?17:26
ineedahelpaLartza:  i want for 12.04 thet is precise ?17:26
Lartzaineedahelpa, Yes17:26
ineedahelpaok ty17:26
MonkeyDustMrUnagi  rsync copies data, not sure what you mean17:26
DarkAceZI edited /etc/security/limits.conf17:27
neopsychecan someone help me setup SQUID server?17:27
MrUnagiMonkeyDust: Im sure im not making sense lol17:27
DarkAceZI added '*                hard    nofile          4096' to the end of the file17:27
LartzaDarkAceZ, I think that just raises the allowed limits of ulimit command?17:27
DarkAceZwell then I'm not sure what I'm doing17:27
MonkeyDustMrUnagi  rsync is similar to scp, where cp means copy17:27
DarkAceZbut my xchat has hit the open file limit17:27
DarkAceZand it glitching17:28
riobeO17:28
DarkAceZtoo many log files open, I'd like to set it to 409617:28
DarkAceZthe open file limit, I mean17:28
LartzaDarkAceZ, /etc/sysctl.conf fs.file-max = 409617:28
LartzaDarkAceZ, I am not sure if that works17:28
MrUnagiI guess im trying to reach my computer in the office over ssh through a remote server....I thought if a path from the office to the server is open, I could find a way to ssh to the office machine from the server which I have access to17:28
LartzaDarkAceZ, Then logout or run sysctl -p17:29
Lartzaand cat /proc/sys/fs/file-max17:29
DarkAceZalright, lemme try17:29

LartzaDarkAceZ, Have you tried "soft" instead of "hard"?17:31
DarkAceZnope17:31
DarkAceZshould I?17:31
LartzaDarkAceZ, Set soft to 4096 and hard to 10240 in /etc/security/limits.conf17:31
LartzaLike you already did with hard17:31
DarkAceZalright17:31
LartzaDarkAceZ, Then relog to be sure, and check with ulimit -Hn and ulimit -Sn17:32

Lartzanmittal, Yeah "username <soft/hard> nofile <limit>"17:39
LartzaAt least it should work ;)17:40
nmittalLartza, and is it safe to set it rediculously high? like 1m?17:40

Lartzanmittal, Umm... I don't know17:40
SonikkuAmericaineedahelpa: Download what?17:40

nmittalLartza, i see.. well no one else uses this system.. so only I could bring it down ;-)17:41

nmittalLartza, ok no worries.. thanks for your help17:45
bogoruvala: you install it with apt-get install ffmpeg17:45
rajuuvala,  dont forget adding sudo .you need to be root.17:46
uvalamonkeydust and bogor, thank you very much, started installing soundconverter now, will try with ffmpeg, too, if I still need to17:46
BluesKajraju, when using sudo you have root permissions17:47
rajuBluesKaj, to install any application we need to be root right , thats what I have suggested .17:47
bogoruvala: it is command line tool. So check the man pages or internet for the options best suit needs.17:47
rajuuvala, http://ffmpeg.org/ffmpeg.html read this. this will let you know what exactly you can do with ffmpeg.17:48
janisozaurhow can i set my serial port speed to something like 1382400? stty seems to not consider that as valid speed (screen however has no problems with that)17:48

MrGizmo757Well the Video itself looks fine.  the audio is behind. the longer the recording is the more out of sync it gets.   that would be a bitrate issue wouldn't it?18:48
tushBluesKaj, ahalverson one thing i want to clear Sound coming from Speakers fine, but not from Headphone which i use from IO pannel of Sound card18:48
zykotick9eczlea: no, that was a way of saying this is related to things outside of #ubuntu's and probably your control.18:49

BluesKajtush,in alsamixer make sure your headphone ctrl is turned up and not muted (MM) , use F5 to see all the ctrls18:51

MrGizmo757if my audio and video were consistant i could just clean it up in kdenlive or somthing.  but  that's not the case. it starts of fine and the audio and video get more and more out of sync of the recording progresses.18:55
ahalversontush: see you hope i was a help18:55
MrGizmo757so something has to be a missmatched.  bitrates or framerates like you said.18:55

BluesKajtush , you haven't got the "line" volume turned up18:56
tushBluesKaj, ahalversion, i tried nothing happen18:57
BluesKajok , bummer18:57
BluesKajtush,^18:57
MrGizmo757according to youtube removeing -f sameq  and replacing it with -b 60000k  should help.  it did help a little but not enough.  the fact that it changed at all confirms its a bitrate/framerate issue. i guess i just have to play with the numbers until i find the sweet spot.18:59

tozen_Merkidemis: i think so lucyd support is finished already19:10
tushBluesKaj, but IO panel not working thats the thing19:11
SuperGauntletI think the issue is that when loading the .efi boot image Ubuntu doesn't have a persistence option19:11
wilee-nileeSuperGauntlet, THe problem with UEFI is different manufacturers have their own modified versions, so it is hit and miss. However at the Ubuntu Forums are daily helpers concentrating on UEFI, you might check or start a thread there.19:11

dr_willisand really theres n othing webmin does for samba that shouldent allredy been done by default19:40
dr_willis!webmin19:40
ubottuwebmin is no longer supported in Debian and Ubuntu. It is not compatible with the way that Ubuntu packages handle configuration files, and is likely to cause unexpected issues with your system.19:40
paul137let me try that first19:40
SuperGauntletOh okay. Didn't realize.19:40
tushBluesKaj, i hav to go now will try next time anyways thanks for your helping me :)19:41
BluesKajok tush , still think all you needis the sound card , the console is for recording etc19:42
ronillonhi, please is there some good gui for grub configuration you could recommend?19:43
SonikkuAmericajebech: You should have run update-initramfs so it could run a new initrd image.19:44
silviaciao19:44
dr_willisronillon:  cant say ive really noticed any GRUB gui tools in the default repos.. you may want to check askubuntu.com to see if any are reccomended.. ive never needed a gui19:45
jebechSonikkuAmerica: Yes, I realise my brain blunder, however I am at a loss as of how to fix it. Do I mount /dev/sda1 to /boot?19:45
SonikkuAmericajebech: Well, becuase /boot is in /dev/sda1 you'll need to mount that.19:46
ronillondr_willis: i do not need it for myself actually, friend of mine is starting with linux these days and asked me for something that he could use, cause he does not have whole lot of time to mess with the configs19:47
SonikkuAmericajebech: But not AS /boot; that's not allowed19:47

nightdemon666any one who can help is appreciated... I am running ubuntu lts 12.04. i had been running "indicator-weather" (weather indicator app that displays on your panel [thats what i prefer]), and had been running it for a while. I love it. looks good on the panel! but after a while of running it would just stop. then i could re-run the app again, and all would be good until it would just close on its own and disappear from the19:48

dr_willisbingo:  the pacvkage manager system does NOT touch your config files in your HOME directory...19:50
dr_willisbingo:  so look for the skype config files and remove them19:50

BluesKajLoneTrooper, perhaps use the nick your directing your answers to from now on , saves confusion20:01

delocazHello! I'm installing Ubuntu through the mini ISO (text-based installer). It errors at "Choose and install packages". It came close to finished, then errored. If I try to start again, it errors. It doesn't give any error description, just that there is an error.20:02
delocazCan anyone help?20:02
wilee-nileedelocaz, You are plugged in with ethernet?20:03
ubuntu-studiook so i have to partition drives to view files already on windows20:03
delocazwilee-nilee: yes20:03
wilee-nileedelocaz, Did you just chose the xubuntu-desktop, and is this a msdos disc I assume?20:04
delocazI chose xubuntu-desktop, yes. And this is the one you linked an hour ago20:04
wilee-nileedelocaz, Right, this is not a gpt disc?20:04
nightdemon666steps are, first see what linux kernel sees physically connected ot mobo (sudo fdisk -l) then creat the mount point (sudo mkdir /media/sda1 <-for example) then (sudo mount /dev/sda1 /media/sda1) now you will see the contents of drive either graphically or via command line :)20:04
delocazwilee-nilee: I don't know what a gpt disc is, but it's this one: https://help.ubuntu.com/community/Installation/MinimalCD20:05
ubuntu-studiook20:05
nightdemon666no ubuntu-studio, you do NOT have to partition drives in order to view the contents of data on the drives, windows or not20:05
wilee-nileedelocaz, I mean the HD, it did not come with W8, or is a apple computer?20:05
ubuntu-studioneed some help20:05
delocazwilee-nilee: I don't see how that is relevant, but it's an old Windows XP computer20:06

LoneTrooperDoes anybody know if wizardpen or DIGImend may work better on openSUSE?20:07

MonkeyDustLoneTrooper  better ask in the opensuse channel20:08
wilee-nileedelocaz, I don't know that, and see know post about that, I realize you are frustrated, don't take it out on me. ;)20:08
paul137to histo - I'm seeing both machines on both machine's network but I can't see the file in the folder20:08
nightdemon666well delocaz, you need ot have a partition to install on... im not sure exactly ewhat the error is, i even read your above discription.20:08
histopaul137: did you create a share?20:08
gui_userappearently the window can be made even smaller, but not larger (eg increased to a usable size)20:09
paul137i created a share using nautilus20:09
histopaul137: right click on the directory and got to sharing option in the file browser20:09
iUnifywhat do you guys recomend I use for AV/AM/Adware/Firewall?20:09
delocaznightdemon666: The text-based installer fomats a drive before it installs anything, like the normal installer. It just errored at around 90% of the package installation20:09
nightdemon666anyway, anyone ever had issues with indicator-weather app closing by its self, and find a resolution??? i havent found one yet :(20:09
wilee-nilee!av20:09
ubottuAntivirus is something you don't need on !Linux. except where files are then passed to windows computers (perhaps using samba), See https://help.ubuntu.com/community/Antivirus20:09
jebechdouble check on boot partition; has abi-3.5.0-27-generic config-3.5.0-27-generic and vmlinux-3.5.0-27-generic20:09
nightdemon666delocaz, and the partition is large enough correct?20:10
paul137i'm assuming i have to be in nautilus - let me give it a try20:10
delocaznightdemon666: 80gb, yes20:10
nightdemon666have you ever instaleld anything else to that partition?20:10
nightdemon666like any other linux distros20:10
delocazYes, after XP, I successfully installed Debian. Then I tried to install Xubuntu through the mini ISO (normal one didn't work and didn't boot to installer at all)20:10
nightdemon666and you say you cant see any of the displayed errors, it doesnt tell you what the error is???20:11
delocaznightdemon666: It simply says "An error occured in step Choose and Install Packages"20:11
delocazOr something like that20:11
delocazThe installer is the same as Debians, and the one Ubuntu had before Ubiquity20:11
nightdemon666delocaz, did you try and install just nothing but base packages, like, not selecting anything special?20:12
delocaznightdemon666: No, but it won't let me choose again. Simply says there is an error20:12
cablop|2what graphical interface do you recommend for an Ubuntu server? we need to access it remotely20:12
nightdemon666is the drive healthy?20:12
jribcablop|2: whatever you want.  Depends on your needs.  Personally I would recommend not using one20:12
nightdemon666cablop, just as a point to make, wouldnt that defete the purpose of a server??? GUI?20:13
delocaznightdemon666: Should be, yes. Doesn't give any SMART errors20:13
delocazRemember, it's this installer: http://img.bhs4.com/51/d/51d8459626a33cf128f6ed4b9a89d004b4aee69e_large.jpg20:13
paul137to histo - the folder showing as being shared on my laptop20:13
cablop|2jrib, well, the thing is simple, we are going to need a windows server and we are planningnon virtualizing it on Ubuntu... the downside is that we need a GUI to install it... otherwise we need to install the Windows server as host and run the ubuntu one as a service (something that's odd by itself)20:14
nightdemon666but, cablop, i would recomment LXDM20:14
nightdemon666LXDM is nice and lightweight :)20:14
iUnifyThanks for the response.  I have read that documentation.  I can't get clam to install properly... also, from what I understand, having these protections, esp. firewall is highly recomended, and, I'd like to use the percausion.20:14
TPiazzastruggling with what should be a simple bash script, want to run the following script after a fresh install of ubuntu: http://paste.ubuntu.com/5705851/20:14
cablop|2nightdemon666: not realy, a GUI is ok for a server as long as we start it just on demand20:15
nightdemon666delocaz, did you try redownloading the iso? maybe corrupt?20:15
delocaznightdemon666: It's not :)20:16
francesco_hi all... i have a problem with unity: when I maximize a window the buttons are hidden and moved at the left corner.. how can I make the buttons always on top? :) Thx.. :)20:16
TPiazzathe problem is that a few of the commands require input from the user, so when i run the script it behaves differently20:17
SonikkuAmericafrancesco_: System Settings > Appearance, Behavior tab, make sure the switch at the far right is ON.20:17
delocazJust gonna try reinstalling, but not choosing any xubuntu packages so I'm left with a shell. (Then apt-get install xubuntu-desktop)20:18

TPiazzaso clearly i am missing something, any ideas?20:19
paul137to dalocaz  i can see my folder on other computer for the first time but not its contents20:20
nightdemon666ok, again... anyone can help me with indicator-weather app in ubuntu 12.04?20:21
nightdemon666paul137, it sounds like a file permissions thing... just a thought20:21
jebechSonikkuAmerica: Don't know if you saw; But double checked on boot partition; it has abi-3.5.0-27-generic config-3.5.0-27-generic and vmlinux-3.5.0-27-generic20:21
SonikkuAmericajebech: Nope, missed it. Got it now. And s/vmlinux/vmlinuz20:22
wilee-nileenightdemon666, Mine was always funky and stopped working a couple of weeks ago.20:22
jebechSonikkuAmerica: You are ofcourse, correct20:22
nightdemon666mine will work for a while and just stop unexpectly... no errors i can see from it willie-nilly... do you use a weather indicator app that appears on panel that is stable?20:23
SonikkuAmericajebech: Did you cd into the partition where /boot was?20:24
TPiazzaany shell scripting gurus out there?20:24
wilee-nileenightdemon666, Not really just look at the temp gauge, or my phone now.20:24
nightdemon666lol20:24
wilee-nileeI gave up on a working weather app, I have run several.20:24
gcbirzan_are you still supposed to use update-manager to update between releases?20:24
jebechSonikkuAmerica: It ends with update-initramfs: failed for /boot/initrd.img-3.5.0-27-generic with 1; Ofcourse, /boot doesn't exist20:25
WalexTPiazza: there are probably several hundred shell scripting gurus in the world20:25
SonikkuAmericajebech: Ouch... you might want to ask someone else then.20:25
Walexjebech: if '/boot' does not exist that's quite bad20:25
TPiazzaWalex: just wondering if any of them are online at the moment.....20:25
WalexTPiazza: probably somewhere.20:25
SonikkuAmericajebech: I dunno much about the linux kernel and initrd20:25
cablop|2ok, adding more spice to the question... gui for a server, just used on demand, what about using XFCE instead of LXDE for remote access?20:26
gcbirzan_why do you need a GUI?20:26
gcbirzan_I mean, just start whatever X app youneed over ssh or something20:26
cablop|2gcbirzan_: we need to virtualize another server inside, a Windows Server, installation is graphical20:27
jebechSonikkuAmerica, Walex: It exists (/boot), just not on the chroot; it isn't mounted, and I don't know howto do that (chroot to /mnt which is mounted to /dev/sda3 (which is /), but /boot is /dev/sda1)20:27
gcbirzan_my statement still stands20:27
gcbirzan_plus, most of these things offer VNC or such20:27
gcbirzan_I know qemu does, and I'm sure vmware has something20:27
Walexcablop|2: use a simple window manager like FVWM2 or OpenBox20:28
CarlinhosCan I install 13.04 beta while preserving /home even though it isn't on a separate partition (default Ubuntu partitions)?20:28
paul137to 666 i've set read permissions on the file im trying to see still no luck20:28
jebechWalex: I'm on a livecd, following this guide: http://askubuntu.com/questions/116635/kernel-panic-not-syncing-vfs-unable-to-mount-root-fs-on-unknown-block-oo-swapper20:28
gcbirzan_Carlinhos: well, not easily20:28
gcbirzan_not sure it works in ubuntu, the installer is really annoying about partitions...20:29
gcbirzan_but you could try remoing everything except /home and just telling ubuntu to install there20:29
Carlinhosgcbirzan_: I read somewhere that re-installing ubuntu woudln't wipe out /home...20:29
gcbirzan_Carlinhos: also, I'm upgrading with dist-upgrade, because update manager has to be the most useless piece of crap ever20:29
gcbirzan_quite likely, it will end in hilary, but hey20:30
Carlinhoswell i guess I will just do a backup and this time make sure /home is in a separate partition so it won't be a problem in future upgrades20:30
Walexjebech: then in the 'chroot' you can setup '/dev/', '/sys' and '/proc' and mount '/boot' too20:31
jebechWalex: I don't know howto mount /boot20:31
Walexjebech: something like: cd /dev; MAKEDEV std; MAKEDEV sda; mount /sys; mount /proc; mount /dev/sda1 /boot20:31
Walexjebech: all that after 'chroot'.20:31
paul137to 666 it seems that it maybe a passwording issue20:31
Walexjebech: reverse the 'mount' before existing the 'chroot'.20:32
gcbirzan_what is that makedev crap?20:32
gcbirzan_this is not 199020:32
paul137im going to have delete the folders and then re-establish them20:32
WalexCarlinhos: do you want o *install* 13.04 or *upgrade* to 13.04?20:32
gcbirzan_mount -o bind /dev /chroot/dev20:32
gcbirzan_voila20:32
paul137so here i go - ill report back on my progress20:33
CarlinhosWalex: I want to install, like a clean install while just leaving my /home untouched20:33
Walexgcbirzan_: you are assuming that the liveCD and the mounted "root" partition are form the same lineage and use compatbile device names...20:33
gcbirzan_Walex: what does it matter?20:33
gcbirzan_Walex: I mean20:33
killeris there any good decompilers for ubuntu20:34
gcbirzan_if it they're not, it won't work no matter how much you pray20:34
francesco_  cmake -DCMAKE_INSTALL_PREFIX=`kde4-config --prefix`20:34
cablop|2gcbirzan_, Walex, thanks for the ideas... i think i am going to install a very very simple window manager, to help people get used to the server here... then use the aps via ssh20:34
ronalds_mazhow to change lightdm configuration, for it to be gtk, not kde one20:34
gcbirzan_if your current kernel sees it as /dev/bunnies1, creating /dev/sda1 won't help you one bit20:34
iUnifyuT users, do you prefer qbit or dulge?20:34
ronalds_mazI want default login manager20:34
ronalds_mazfor ubuntu20:35
ronalds_mazas default20:35
WalexCarlinhos: well, that's a bit more difficult thasn an upgrade. However you can do it if you are careful with the installer. You will have to do manual partitioning in a shell20:35

longbyte1I never understood why installing any linux distros always turned out complicated.20:36
CarlinhosWalex: I'm afraid of messing things up so I'll just do a clean install and make sure /home is in a separate partition this time20:36
zheoffecronalds_maz: cant you just uninstall kdm?20:36
gcbirzan_longbyte1: what, in particular, is complicated?20:36
ronalds_mazuninstalling kdm wouldn't break something?20:36
longbyte1Seriously, the installation process is supposed to be SIMPLE, and then when everything goes right, something fails and I have to spend the rest of my day figuring it out20:36
gcbirzan_ronalds_maz: just try what I suggested20:36
longbyte1and then realizing that apt-get isn't in the shell20:37
gcbirzan_what does that even mean20:37
ronalds_mazronalds_maz: update-alternatives --configure x-session-manager20:37
ronalds_mazthis doesn't work20:37
gcbirzan_--config20:37
zheoffeclongbyte1: do you have a problem or do you just want to complain?20:37
gcbirzan_I corrected myself20:37
gcbirzan_wow20:37
longbyte1I kind of have a question.20:37
gcbirzan_ronalds_maz: nevermind, I'm an idiot20:38
zheoffecwhat is it?20:38
longbyte1What are the minimum requirements for installing lubuntu?20:38
=== pxb is now known as KREWLGRL93
ronalds_mazit did work, but for changing season20:38
ronalds_mazso I should remove kdm?20:38
Carlinhosdo i need any more partitions other than / and /home? I have 4GB ram so I guess I don't need a swap partition?20:38
longbyte1Carlinhos: no, you can just delete the swap partition.20:38
Carlinhoslongbyte1: it's for a new install so it isn't created yet20:39
=== KREWLGRL93 is now known as pxb
Carlinhosbut thanks20:39
wilee-nileeCarlinhos, You want a swap if you hibernate.20:40
longbyte1Yeah, you can just delete the partition and put the free space into the other 2 partitions.20:40
zheoffeclongbyte1: https://wiki.ubuntu.com/Lubuntu - see the header labeled "System requirements"20:40
Carlinhosin case I do want to hibernate, how large should my swap partition be with 4GB ram?20:40
longbyte1But as wilee-nilee just said, if you want to hibernate, you need 4 GB (I think) for swap.20:40
wilee-nileeCarlinhos, Yeah swap would be equal to ram.20:41
gcbirzan_ronalds_maz: Turns out it's in /etc/X11/default-display-manager20:41
longbyte1zheoffec: doesn't say how much hard drive space I need.20:41
ronalds_mazconfig  /etc/X11/default-display-manager20:41
ronalds_maz?20:41
zheoffecCarlinhos: I think ubuntu have removed the option to hibernate, leaving only the suspend option - wich i think only suspends to disk, not RAM20:41
gcbirzan_Just edit it20:41
gcbirzan_ronalds_maz: It contains the path to the default DM20:42
gcbirzan_hibernate is suspend to disk20:42
ronalds_mazso what is default for lightdm20:42
gcbirzan_that's why you need DISK for it20:42
zheoffecI generally have my swap as the same as my memory just to be safe20:43
longbyte1swap depends on what you will be doing20:44
wilee-nileeyou can add the hibernate, and you can suspend without a swap, both are different.20:44
ronalds_maz/usr/bin/kdm20:44
ronalds_mazwhat is alternative for ubuntus default one20:44
longbyte1If you're going to be playing games, adding swap will decrease performance but meet the requirements.20:44
gcbirzan_ronalds_maz: also, I think doing dpkg-reconfigure -plow kdm should prompt you to select one20:44
gcbirzan_what the hell20:45
gcbirzan_longbyte1: decrease performance?20:45
zykotick9Carlinhos: for hibernate to work, swap need to be slightly larger then physical RAM, it needs to copy everything in RAM, and have room for the overhead of doing so.20:45
wilee-nileelongbyte1, Only if it swaps, you can set the swappiness different than 60 which is stock.20:45
zheoffecronalds_maz: the three polular ones are GDM (GNOME), lightDM (used in Ubuntu), and KDM (KDE)20:45
longbyte1Yes, because hard drive activity will make read/write much slower.20:46
longbyte1Just go with wilee-nilee because right now I'm playing M$ flight simulator.20:46
longbyte1Which is a pretty good game.20:46
Carlinhoszykotick9: I'm thinking about a swap file instead which I can create after the install20:46
ronalds_mazI did dpkg-reconfigure -plow kdm and it still uses kdm20:47
zykotick9longbyte1: swap makes a system faster, if you're actually using swap for memory - then all bets are off.  see "/msg ubottu swap" for confirmation.20:47
gcbirzan_as opposed to the performance increase of processes dying from no memory?20:47
zykotick9Carlinhos: i think you need a swap "partition" (by default) for hibernation.20:47
zheoffecdoes ubuntu use systemd?20:47
longbyte1Well, I think this is enough advice because I think of swap like page file for linux.20:48
ronalds_mazhow do I return to classic ubuntu login manager, second tyme questioning20:48
Carlinhoszykotick9: Didn't know that. Anyway, I never use the total 4GB of my ram capacity, so an equally large swap partition should do I guess.20:48
FFForeverIs it possible to su into another user and cd into a different directory at the same time?20:49
zykotick9Carlinhos: i don't think hibernate cares about what's in use, if partition doesn't equal ram+a_little i'd expect it to fail (or really, not start with some error).  good luck.20:49
jebechSonikkuAmerica, Walex, gcbirzan_: Thank you all for your patience and help. In the end, https://help.ubuntu.com/community/Boot-Repair this fixed the problem, with 3-4 (albeit borring!) mouse clicks. Might be of help to the next chap.?20:50
zykotick9FFForever: fyi if you add a - to your su, it should go to that user's home directory20:50
Alex_Slwkhi20:50
zheoffecronalds_maz: have you seen this question - http://askubuntu.com/questions/58023/how-can-i-make-lightdm-the-default-display-manager ?20:50
FFForeverzykotick9, Yes, I am opening a login shell, but I also want to switch into a directory within the user home.20:51
Carlinhoszykotick9: In that case, should an additional 500MB be enough? I'm still wondering if I will actually use hibernation, someone said Ubuntu doesn't support it anymore.20:51
zykotick9FFForever: sorry, no further suggestions to your "issue" ;)20:51
zykotick9Carlinhos: hibernate is disabled by default in ubuntu, due to high failure rate.20:52
jebechNow, is it possible to make linux/grub "hot" reboot; So I avoid waiting for BIOS and RAID controller?20:52
FFForeverzykotick9, I'm just trying to avoid typing out cd .../.../ 5 times a day. Yes, I could su into the user and alias it, but that still seems like something that could be automated from the initial su.20:52
zheoffecCarlinhos: the hibernation entry was removed from the me-menu, but that's not to say that ubuntu doesn't support it - you can use hibernation via `pm-hibernate` i think20:52
Carlinhoszykotick9: I have actually never used it so I'm thinking the additional space would be more useful.20:53
zykotick9FFForever: su can run command for sure, but cd'ing then leaving the terminal open?  that's a lot more complicated.  best of luck.20:53
=== gsr is now known as Guest61909
zykotick9Carlinhos: what's cool about hibernate, is that it's an uptime "cheat".  my netbook had a ridiculous uptime, because i always used pm-hibernate, instead of shutting down.  other then that... eh, hibernate is perhaps yesterdays technology - today ;)20:54
ronalds_mazI made lightdm default but it still shows kdm as login manager20:55
FFForeverzykotick9, Hmm.. What about loading a second bash session within the initial su? Besides a waste of resources it should work in theory.20:55
zheoffecronalds_maz: did you see the link i gave you?20:55
ronalds_mazI saw20:55
ronalds_maz....20:55
ronalds_mazsudo dpkg-reconfigure lightdm this doesn't work20:56
ronalds_mazneither do next comment in that link20:56
meLonEver since 12.X, I haven't been able to get pulseaudio and alsa working together.  I'd really like to take advantage of the ability to have multiple programs outputing sound simutaneously, as well as using pulse in libao.conf.  Any suggestions?20:56
Carlinhoszykotick9: My boot takes less than 10 secs I think, shouldn't be problem. If I'm not mistaken, Windows8 actually uses the hibernate "cheat" by default.20:56
ronalds_mazdefault display manager shows /usr/sbin/lightdm20:57
ronalds_mazbut I got kdm on login20:57
Gnearonalds_maz: so remove kdm20:58
FFForeverOn an unrelated note, is it possible to automatically login a user on a headless server without using nodm/starting x?20:58
zykotick9Carlinhos: don't mention MS to me ;)  i'm serious about that.  but ya win8 removes copied files because of the way they hibernate (ridiculous stuff, fsf just put out an info graphic of win8 vs gnu/linux at https://www.fsf.org/windows8 )20:58
Carlinhosis a /boot partition needed or is it within the / partition?20:59
zheoffecronalds_maz: try this - http://askubuntu.com/questions/48903/how-do-i-prevent-kdm-from-starting-at-boot20:59
zheoffecCarlinhos: it is contained in /20:59
zykotick9Carlinhos: unless you're doing something "special" don't use a separate /boot (it's not needed anymore, and leads to problems)20:59

poisoned_dragonPulseaudio is just an audio server.21:04
Vivekanandais there no good alternative for getting correct and good looking letter spacing in ubuntu21:04

Vivekanandawilee-nilee: I tried all settings of pair kerning with what I have. I have not installed restricted extras. Was that also there in that same link ?21:06
poisoned_dragonI said that zheoffec.21:06
poisoned_dragonIt's only an audio server.21:06
poisoned_dragonYou can't have pulse without alsa.21:06
netherlands6wilee-nilee I have no more graphic or boot issue since I got 13.04  just sound and minor bug no one answering on ubuntu+121:07
wilee-nileeVivekananda, No it is just part of the video codecs and ms fonts kit.21:07
poisoned_dragonWell, you could. It just won't do anything.21:07
Gneazheoffec: incorrect, alsa is a set of sound drivers - a driver and a server are two entirely different things.21:07
wilee-nileenetherlands6, 13.04 is #ubuntu+121:07
SonikkuAmericaFor now21:07
poisoned_dragonOk, Gnea. Try and use Pulse without alsa drivers. :)21:07
Vivekanandahmm so howdo I check for it ?21:08

brian_SonikkuAmerica: Remember me? I'm back. Now running 12.10 (64 bit). Had to DL all the apps from scratch, but it has been worth it. Just wanted to let you know that all is well.21:08
Vivekanandawilee-nilee: ubuntu precise21:08
zheoffecGnea: so what exactly is a sound server then?21:09
GneaI'm not sure if pulseaudio will work with OSS drivers or not, I think it was designed for the alsa api21:09
Vivekanandasorry lubuntu 12.0421:09
SonikkuAmericaVivekananda: #lubuntu has a channel21:09
wilee-nileeVivekananda, In the terminal sudo apt-get install ubuntu-restricted-extras21:09
Gneazheoffec: well a driver simply lets a piece of hardware talk to the software (where software = operating system, not a piece of software like firefox)21:09
SonikkuAmericabrian_: Awesome! Hope you enjoy Quantal, Raring comes out in 2 weeks21:09
SonikkuAmerica!21:09
poisoned_dragonThe sound server allows multiple apps to access the sound hardware at the same time.21:10
brian_SonikkuAmerica: I'll look out for it.21:10
Gneazheoffec: a server, in the this meaning of context, is another word for a daemon, which is a piece of software that runs in the background continuously to act as a mediatory to pass information/data from one or more sources onto another21:10

ronalds_mazhow to remove kde theming in ubuntu apps, maybe someone remmbers21:12
SonikkuAmericaronalds_maz: You'll want lightdm anyway21:12
Gneazheoffec: that depends on the soundcard hardware - if the hardware is a half-duplex card, yes.  if it's full-duplex, then the soundcard can handle multiple sources from within the software at the same time.  The purpose of pulseaudio is to allow half-duplex soundcards to act like full-duplex.21:13
poisoned_dragonOh, aren't most newer cards full duplex, Gnea?21:14
Gneas1pher: no, you'll need to bring up synaptic and edit your software sources21:14
Gneapoisoned_dragon: not the cheap ones21:14
s1pherok thanks21:14
poisoned_dragonWell, I don't mean soundmax...21:14
zheoffecGnea: in my case its integrated, so i guess its a half-duplex. so pulseaudio mixes the >= 2 audio sources by itself at the expense of latency?21:14
poisoned_dragonI'm talking Realtek and others like it.21:14
Gneazheoffec: yeah, the speed of your overall system will determine how well and how fast they are mixed21:15
poisoned_dragonEvil Analog Devices. lol21:15
WalexGnea: that's a very confused (and probably very wrong) explanation of what PulseAudio is for.21:15
Gneazheoffec: worst case scenario is you start to hear some skipping through the speakers21:15
poisoned_dragonOh, and VIA. That chip maker is horrible for graphics and almost as bad for audio.21:15
zheoffecok21:16
GneaWalex: Feel free to offer a better one then.  Your negative comments on my explanation are optional, not required.21:16
poisoned_dragonheh21:16
Walexzheoffec: Gnea: PulseAudio tries to solve 2-3 problems: many cards do not dop hardware mixing (which is not the same thing as full duplex), and many applications use different sound APIs.21:17
=== tjbiddle_ is now known as tjbiddle
Walexzheoffec: Gnea: PulseAdio tries to offer every known sound API, and then does mixing withing itself among all the application sound that arrives over all those APIs.21:18
zheoffecso what will happen if two apps try to output sound at the same time and i dont have pulseaudio?21:18
Walexzheoffec: PulseAudio also can do other things than software mixing, like *de*-mixing, and sound effects.21:19
zheoffeci dont have pulseaudio21:19
Walexzheoffec: if you don't have PulseAAudio different things can happen depending on the sound APIs used by the applications that try to write sound at the same time.21:19
zheoffecok21:20
s1pherhow do I remove http://ppa.launchpad.net/slicer/ppa/ubuntu/dists/quantal/main/source21:20
poisoned_dragonBasically, Pulseaudio in audio is like AVISynth in video production.21:20
Walexzheoffec: for example if *both* applications use the ALSA sound API, *and* the ALSA library has been setup to do software mixing, then they will both be able to write.21:20
wireless1Is there a command to force enable a hard blocked wirless card?21:20
Vivekanandawilee-nilee: should I restart or just log / in /out for restricted extras to work ?21:20
zheoffecok21:20
Walexzheoffec: but most sound APIs don't povide a means to so sw mixing.21:20
Walexzheoffec: note that what Gnea wrote about latency is correct: sw mixing does cost a bit in terms of latency.21:21

Walexzheoffec: BTW there are some sound cards that can do hw mixing, but they are very rare.21:22
zheoffecWalex: so i guess that (with my os being arch) i should install pulseaudio then21:22
zheoffeclol poisoned_dragon21:22
wilee-nileePhysicist, The task manager will list the ram amount or compter right click properties.21:22
PhysicistI hate windows..21:23
Physicistno offense,,21:23
zheoffecdont we all21:23
Walexzheoffec: I don't like PulseAudio for some reasons, but nowadays it is almost mandatory. It is either that or using applications that use only the ALSA sound API.21:23
poisoned_dragonPhysicist: right click the taskbar and select task manager, or press ctrl+alt+del and select task manager21:23
Walexzheoffec: one of the great ironies is that PulseAudiop as a rule uses the ALSA sound API itself, so the typical setup is to redirect the ALSA API to PulseAudiio, and then PulseAudio uses the base ALSA API itself to write the sound to the card after mixing/adapting it.21:24
wireless1Alternate quesiton, does anyone know where the wireless button on an acer 5040 is? I'm missing most of the plating on this laptop :P21:24

Walexzheoffec: if you install PulseAudio not much will happen.

poisoned_dragonthat depends nightdemon666. Does my-weather-indicator need python3?21:47
nightdemon666according to the package information, no... it needs python 2.7 poisoned_dragon. but there are reports that say that python 3 solved issues... but ubuntu 12.04 latest python package is 2.7. it doesnt make since :/21:49

mojeimeso 20gb / then 100gb /home then 6gb /swap23:24
dr_willismJayk:  so whats your fstab entry for swap? you did use mkswap to 'format' the swap partition?23:24
zykotick9mojeime: 6GB swap seems like a lot...23:24
scott_I'm in 13.04 and I have no Unity interface. How can I begin to fix this?23:24
=== scott_ is now known as Guest75100
mJaykdr_willis: I used gparted to formate to linux-swap23:25
mJaykdr_willis: 2 secs ill get my fstab23:25
dr_willis!swap23:25
ubottuswap is used to move unused programs and data out of main memory to make your system faster. It can also be used as extra memory if you don't have enough. See https://help.ubuntu.com/community/SwapFaq for more info23:25
mojeimezykotick9:  i would like for home to be on root it confuses me when it is another partrition, i read thet swap shoud be duble ram23:26
mojeimebut i realy dont know what uses 9gb of ram23:26
kim_bruningdr_willis, + don't do swap on SSD (is still the conventional wisdom)23:26
kim_bruningdr_willis, and swap is also used for hibernate23:27
mJaykdr_willis: http://pastebin.com/bgPjM27G23:27
dr_willisI frogot to make swap on my ssd. ;) when i installed it.23:27
kim_bruningdr_willis, GOOD.23:27
dr_willisThen again.. i got 8 gb ram.. and never touch swap that ive seen23:27
Gnarlyis it still the case with a ssd to use a non journal fs?23:27
dr_willisGnarly:  with newer ssds im not sure that a lot of the old wisdom still applies23:27
mJaykdr_willis: I did have to change the UUID as it was wrong23:27
mojeimeok so i create just /root 100gb and swap 5gb23:27
dr_willismJayk:  ;) or you could use the /dev/sdX type name23:28
Gnarlythanks23:28
mJaykdr_willis: The name is correct now I just cant seam to do bugger all with it23:28
dr_willismJayk:  you did notice your line for swap.. is commented... so not used..23:29
dr_willisor am i missreading.. ;)23:29
CorruptedHelixLooks like I ran into a problem, dr_willis23:29
kim_bruningmojeime, not /root ... just /23:29
dr_willisok.. another entry for it. ;)23:29
mojeimekim_bruning:  i thinked this / means root23:29
CorruptedHelixI'm currently on Ubuntu, and gparted errored out when it tried to scan my SD card. Ubuntu is also unable to mount the SD card, and tells me so when I try to open it's 266mb volume on the file explorer23:29
dr_willis / is 'root'   /root/ is the root users home directory. ;)23:29
kim_bruningmojeime, yes....   / means root, and ... for hysterical (I mean historical reasons)   /root is something else :-P23:30
captinehi there.  is there a way for me to quickly see the non-default applications i have installed?  am wanting to try play with puppet and have the config such that it installs all this "non-default" software on new machines23:30
mojeimekim_bruning:  and what shoud i put ext2 sys file or what23:30
dr_willisCorruptedHelix:  anything of any value on it? you may want to zero it out with dd.and repartion it23:30
kim_bruningmojeime, why are you using ext2?23:30
mJaykdr_willis: no its not thats the old UUID check the bottom line23:31
CorruptedHelixI'm sorry, but I'm a Linux noob, I don't know what that means. The error message is long so I'll try to shorten it, but what I can tell you while I do that is that gparted sees the 1.83gb unallocated partition, but not the 266mb unallocated23:31
mojeimekim_bruning:  i am asking what to put ext2 , ext4 jouranling , fat32 or what i dont know what are prons and cons23:31
Gnarlythats probably for the formatting itself23:31
dr_willismojeime:  when in doubgt.. use the defaults.. ext423:32
CorruptedHelixdr_willis: End of the error message is the following; 'mount: /dev/mmcblk0p1: can't read superblock'23:32
kim_bruningmojeime, ah, ok, use ext4 for now23:32
mojeimedr_willis:  i dident know it is defoult it was just on top so i hed to ask23:32
CorruptedHelixI'll take a screenshot if you want the full message, dr_willis23:32
dr_willisCorruptedHelix:   sounds like the thing has issues.. may be worth zeroing it out and repartionng.23:32
kim_bruningmojeime, in a year or so btrfs would be better, but just do ext4 if you don't know what else to do ;-)23:32
CorruptedHelixHow would I do that?23:33
mojeimekim_bruning: ok ty23:33
CorruptedHelixZeroing it out, I mean23:33
CorruptedHelixI know how to repartition it23:33
Gnarlyheres from ubuntu's website23:33
Gnarlyhttps://help.ubuntu.com/community/LinuxFilesystemsExplained23:33
Gnarlyexplains different filesystems23:33
mojeimekim_bruning:  ext4 journaling ofcours23:33
dr_willisCorruptedHelix:  with CAREfull use of the dd command..   somthing similer to 'sudo dd if=/dev/zero of=/dev/mccblk0 bs=1M'   this WILL erase everything on that sd card/ and if you use the wrong /dev/ it can erase that also.23:34
mojeimemount point is / or corse?23:34
CorruptedHelixdr_willis: Nothing of value on it, to answer your previous question. I tried reformatting it thrice already on Windows23:34
CorruptedHelixUm, I'm not sure how to tell if it would be the correct /dev/. As I said, I'm a linux noob, unfortunately23:34
mojeimedr_willis:  swap partrition is logical or pramary23:35
kim_bruningCorruptedHelix, in that case, take extreme care ;-)23:35
CorruptedHelixwell23:35
CorruptedHelixthat makes me feel good23:35
kim_bruningCorruptedHelix, sudo  AND dd together is a rather powerful combo ;-)23:35
CorruptedHelix:l23:35
kim_bruningCorruptedHelix, you're welcome O:-)23:35
brightsparkCorruptedHelix: You can likely find the correct dev in gparted or similar.23:35
mojeimeshoud i put swap to be logical partrition or primary?23:36
CorruptedHelixWell, I have /dev/sda which is my hdd, /dev/sdb, which is my USB stick, and I have /dev/mccblk0, my SD card23:37
kim_bruningok23:38
kim_bruningwell, it's rather hard to mistype /dev/mccblk0 ;-)23:38
mojeimeshoud i put swap to be logical partrition or primary????23:38
brightsparkCorruptedHelix: I just noticed that your mount error says 'mmc' while gparted says 'mcc'- is this a typo or is something weird going on?23:38
kim_bruningmojeime, doesn't matter. If you only want 4 partitions, just make them all primary23:38
* kim_bruning wonders why ubuntu doesn't do lvm by default these days23:39
wilee-nileemojeime, It's called a linux swap in gparted23:39
CorruptedHelixbrightspark: not an error, where would gparted say mcc23:39
mojeimeok23:39
mojeimekim CorruptedHelix ty23:39
CorruptedHelixThey both show the same filepath spelled the same way, except for a 'p' after the 023:39
kim_bruningCorruptedHelix, btw, you may want to umount your card before you wipe it :-)23:40
brightspark<CorruptedHelix> dr_willis: End of the error message is the following; 'mount: /dev/mmcblk0p1: can't read superblock'23:40
CorruptedHelixfair enough23:40
brightspark<CorruptedHelix> Well, I have /dev/sda which is my hdd, /dev/sdb, which is my USB stick, and I have /dev/mccblk0, my SD card23:40
CorruptedHelixwant a screenshot to confirm?23:40
brightsparkCan you show the error message as well in the screenshot?23:41
mojeimei have 80 gb free speace i gona cry23:41

CorruptedHelixI'll show you a screenshot of the error +gparted23:41
CorruptedHelixuploading to imgur now, only a sec23:42
dr_willisCorruptedHelix:  using dd to zero it will totally unallocate and erase the device. it will then need to be repartioned23:42
dr_willisCorruptedHelix:  if dd fails to zero it.. then the device has issues23:42
CorruptedHelixactually23:43
vantingDoes anyone know, where to get keymaps for rdesktop?23:43
CorruptedHelixif the screenshots actually saved in the correct directory23:43
CorruptedHelixthat would be helpful23:43

ziklSometimes the "="/"+" key wouldn't type like if i put my finger on the key it would miss 1 time out of 20 times. I got my laptop like a week ago. Should I ask for replacement?23:43
HerbertWesthi there, on  Xubuntu.. I can't set a password option at start23:43
kim_bruningzikl, try tapping the key whilst blowing under it23:43
kim_bruningzikl, sometimes there's just a crumb or something under there23:44

wilee-nileeHerbertWest, This is a install right, you would have made one in the install. Have you set it to autologin?23:47
dr_willisCorruptedHelix:  so the dd command failed?23:47
HerbertWestwilee-nilee as dr_willis said it23:47
wilee-nileeYep ;)23:47
MerkidemisI can ping security.ubuntu.com just fine, why doesn't APT see it?23:48
CorruptedHelixdr_willis: giving brightspark screenshots first, had some trouble due to an inconsistancy in ubuntu23:48
markmcbAnyone have an issue after a fresh install where the network becomes unresponsive for 10-30 seconds … I've never had it before, but am noticing it with 13.04 Beta 2. Curious if there's known culprit.23:48

mojeimerealy dont need it  i am poor dont have anything good on pc xD23:53
CorruptedHelixbrightspark: Still with us?23:54
brightsparkCorruptedHelix: So in that error message, you had 'mmc'23:54
CorruptedHelixI just showed you the two screenshots, that page contains two screenshots, if you didn't see that23:54
CorruptedHelixFor comparison reasons23:54
brightsparkCorruptedHelix: Sorry, you're right.  I just saw the 1st.  Just a sec23:54

CorruptedHelixif that's relevant23:57
CorruptedHelix*blk23:57
wilee-nilees1pher, That ppa has not been loaded since 2007, there is no support for qauntal.23:57
dr_willisCorruptedHelix:  p1 is PARTITION 1.. you want to zero the whole disk.. so no p123:57
brightsparkCorruptedHelix: Yes.  I was just confirming that GParted had 'mmc' and not 'mcc' as you originally said, because that would be a sign of something gone very weird.23:57
dr_willismmcblk023:57
s1pherwilee-nilee: how do i get rid of it?23:57
dr_willisCorruptedHelix:  with CAREfull use of the dd command..   somthing similer to 'sudo dd if=/dev/zero of=/dev/mccblk0 bs=1M'   this WILL erase everything on that sd card/ and if you use the wrong /dev/ it can erase that also.23:58
CorruptedHelixYes, must've typoed that and didn't notice even when you pointed it out... :p23:58

sama-kunHey! I want to reinstall my Ubuntu 12.10 system. Is it safe to use 13.04 beta or it will be pain and suffering to upgrade it later?23:58
CorruptedHelixdr_willis: I'm sure that /dev/zero is relevant, but on bootup my Win8 partition is reported as /sda/123:58
dr_willisnot all sdhc cards show up under the mccblk type names.. it depens on the pc. and how the sc card controller is attatched23:58
CorruptedHelixchance of failure is?23:58
dr_willisCorruptedHelix:  the /dev/XX of the sd.. depends on the pc/hardware23:59
wilee-nilees1pher, easiest is gksudo nautilus this open the file system in root navigate to /etc/apt.sources.list.d and delete the files with that name. Be very careful in doing this.23:59
nexus`sama-kun: you can set a separate partition for your home directory23:59
s1pherwilee-nilee:  ok23:59
CorruptedHelixAgain, how can I check this for sure other than /dev/mccblk023:59
dr_willisCorruptedHelix:  if you had a multi-card reader that pluged into usb. it wold be sdb or somting like that23:59
