|---|---|---|
| brightspark | CorruptedHelix: mmc is multi media card, so I'm 95% sure you've correctly identified it. | 00:00 |
| nexus` | in my opinion you should always do it no matter how stable the distro is | 00:00 |
| nexus` | remember 12.04 is LTS 12.10 isnt | 00:00 |
| CorruptedHelix | There's no /dev/zero, by the way | 00:00 |
| CorruptedHelix | lsited on blkid | 00:00 |
| dr_willis | CorruptedHelix: yes.. theres most lilkely hundereds of /dev/XX things not shown. :) sionce they are not 'disk drive' type devices | 00:01 |
| dr_willis | look in /dev/ sometime | 00:01 |
| CorruptedHelix | Basically, it should be the correct one as you typed it, correct? | 00:02 |
| dr_willis | 'sudo dd if=/dev/zero of=/dev/mccblk0 bs=1M' | 00:02 |
| mojeime | wtf retrivin file 26 of 57 | 00:02 |
| CorruptedHelix | I'll type that, then, I blame you if anything goes wrong. :p | 00:03 |
| vlt | man shred | 00:03 |
| erpo | My HDD is dying and I'm about to install 12.10 on the replacement. Is btrfs stable enough for everyday use in 12.10? | 00:03 |
| mojeime | f it is updeating on it self newer told it | 00:03 |
| CorruptedHelix | Erm, it still worked by the looks of it. Lucky me, because I forgot to unmount it. | 00:03 |
| s1pher | wilee-nilee: I cannot find apt.sources.list.d | 00:03 |
| CorruptedHelix | Should I do it again after unmount? | 00:03 |
| dr_willis | You dont work on mounted partions...... | 00:04 |
| dr_willis | it will get confused. ;) | 00:04 |
| CorruptedHelix | Then I suppose it wasn't mounted after all | 00:05 |
| CorruptedHelix | Okay, I did the command, I'll paste the output... | 00:05 |
| CorruptedHelix | dd: writing `/dev/mccblk0': No space left on device 1808+0 records in 1807+0 records out 1895743488 bytes (1.9 GB) copied, 2.94789 s, 643 MB/s | 00:05 |
| dr_willis | you can still do the dd command... just dont try to access the device - untill you reboot.. is my suggestion | 00:05 |
| CorruptedHelix | well, it should've been in line breaks, but w/e | 00:05 |
| dr_willis | it wrote 2 gb of zeros.. | 00:06 |
| dr_willis | i suggest rebooting, and repartioning the thing with gparted now. | 00:06 |
| CorruptedHelix | Should I reboot into Windows or do I need to repartition in Ubuntu? | 00:06 |
| CorruptedHelix | Fair enough | 00:06 |
| CorruptedHelix | you answered before I asked | 00:06 |
| CorruptedHelix | :p | 00:06 |
| dr_willis | windows may or may not work. | 00:06 |
| CorruptedHelix | Well, I'll use gparted for the time being, then | 00:06 |
| |nv|s|b|e | never do | 00:06 |
| CorruptedHelix | Be right back | 00:06 |

| CorruptedHelix_ | I'm back, gparted is now scanning my devices | 00:09 |
| dr_willis | CorruptedHelix_: if you did a 'gksudo gparted /dev/mmc(whatever)' it would not have to scan all the drives. ;) | 00:09 |
| CorruptedHelix_ | Oh look, looks like I left a ghost | 00:09 |

| CorruptedHelix | Fair enough. I was about to use this thing for Wii homebrew, but wiiload is a lifesaver. I can load it wirelessly, I suppose. | 00:22 |

| yahyaa_ | hello all can some one please help me??? | 00:23 |
| ADzebic | Does anyone know why java programs with animation lag on my linux system? I've tried searching all over the web but can't seem to find a solution.. | 00:25 |
| erpo | yahyaa_: The way to ask for help is to state the problem you are having as clearly as possible. If anyone knows the solution, they will respond. | 00:25 |
| yahyaa_ | ok thanks | 00:26 |
| erpo | ADzebic: Which program? Java applet or application? What kind of animation? Stuttering lag or smooth but delayed playback lag? Is there audio desynchronization? | 00:26 |
| Tex_Nick | I just completed a new hardware (PC) build for my kids & grandkids ... OS is next and it will be dual boot (win xp & ubuntu 12.10) | 00:27 |
| ADzebic | erpo: Both give the same results | 00:27 |
| erpo | ADzebic: Which question are you answering? | 00:27 |
| Tex_Nick | I'm going to disable grub by setting timeout to zero, because i want to see if i can get kids & grandkids to accept Linux ... only reason for dual boot (win xp) is if I find some applications they need that won't run on wine | 00:27 |
| Tex_Nick | I would like to have to user accounts ... one for me (Admin) and one for family (Limited Privilege) ... is there a way i can set family account up for auto-login (to bypass lightdm) unless a hotkey is pressed, which would enable lightdm for full login privilege | 00:27 |
| ADzebic | erpo: It's a simple bouncing ball program and it lags as a Java applet and a regular application.. | 00:28 |
| yahyaa_ | I am running Kubuntu 12.10 on a compaq presario and for some reason I can not see network connections under the wlan interface! | 00:28 |
| Tex_Nick | to have TWO ^ | 00:28 |
| ADzebic | erpo: It's a stuttering type of lag. Not sure about the audio | 00:28 |
| erpo | ADzebic: How is your CPU usage? | 00:29 |
| erpo | yahyaa_: Are you familiar with pastebin? | 00:30 |
| erpo | Tex_Nick: You have a lot of questions there. Let's take them one at a time. How about virtualbox for Windows XP instead of installing it alongside ubuntu? | 00:30 |

| ADzebic | erpo: fairly low* | 00:31 |
| erpo | ADzebic: Have you tried to view the animation on a different computer? It could just be that it's a choppy animation. | 00:31 |
| ADzebic | erpo: I have tried it on my windows machine and it works fine | 00:32 |

| Tex_Nick | erpo : ok hey that is an option ... MAIN goal here is to NOT use Win Xp ...only question was to bypass lightdm unless a hotkey was pressed ... other info was to clarify wha i'm doing ;-) | 00:33 |
| erpo | AmbreiousIuxnaye: The normal way of doing things is to ask the question once and wait. If anyone knows the answer, they will say something. | 00:33 |

| StR34k | mark2: You can install and use ubuntu in virtualbox. I've done it before, using both windows and linux, however, you should expect performance to be reduced..... | 00:42 |
| mark2 | I dont wanna use ubuntu for anything i just like it better then window but problem is when i use ubuntu from virtualbox ubuntu runs very slow | 00:42 |

| srini232323 | Hey guys. This is probably more of a vmware question than a ubuntu question, but I've been trying to get VMWare Tools to work with Ubuntu and I can't seem to get it to. I'm using VMWare Workstation 9.0.2 with Ubuntu 12.10 (kernel 3.5.0-27-generic) | 00:44 |
| dr_willis | i rarely see tearing when i use vlc | 00:44 |
| brute` | I've been having a hell of a time on 12.04 trying to change the ulimit (file open) | 00:45 |
| brute` | is there an official procedure for doing this? | 00:45 |
| srini232323 | I saw online somewhere that I had to switch from Ubuntu's unity to GNOME, which I have | 00:45 |
| shape | dr_willis: It's the same in VLC too btw | 00:45 |
| srini232323 | And I've reinstalled VMWare tools a bunch of times (I do have the kernel headers installed as well) | 00:45 |
| dr_willis | srini232323: for running in a vm - i tend to use Lubuntu | 00:45 |
| StR34k | mark2: anytime you virtualize a system, you're running it with reduced resources, since you're running it under another OS, the primary OS gets the majority of the available resources, and therefore the guest OS will be slower | 00:45 |
| gottwisst | mark2: If you want to run Ubuntu at all times, I would suggest you install it | 00:45 |
| dr_willis | shape: check ccsm, and the drivers, and vlc settings for that vsync or whatever its called | 00:45 |
| srini232323 | Well, I have a quad-core so I don't have any perf issues at all | 00:46 |
| dr_willis | shape: vlc has filtering options i recall using ages ago on a low end netbook | 00:46 |
| erpo | shape: The filename ends in .part. That means the file is incomplete. I would try waiting for the download to complete, or playing the movie from the disc. You do own the disc, don't you? | 00:46 |
| dr_willis | srini232323: when running in a VM.. yes you can have issues | 00:46 |
| StR34k | Anyone here familiar with grub? I want to add a custom entry like the rescue mode.... | 00:47 |
| srini232323 | True, but my problem was getting drag and drop to work, perf is certainly lower than what it would have been under a clean install but it's not too important to me right now | 00:47 |
| dr_willis | StR34k: look at /etc/grub.d/40_custom and add one perhaps? | 00:47 |
| srini232323 | Unless there's another reason you recommend Lubuntu to VMs | 00:47 |
| srini232323 | *for VMs | 00:47 |
| mark2 | ok i also downloaded ubuntu without a virtualbox that seems to run faster would that be fine | 00:47 |
| shape | erpo: It doesn't btw, it's a longer name, the extension is avi. And this happens to me with all HD movies, that was just an example. | 00:47 |
| dr_willis | srini232323: it uses less ram. ;) and does all the basics just fine | 00:48 |
| StR34k | dr_willis: Looked at that, doesn't seem to be what I want, or else I don't fully understand it.... | 00:48 |
| yahyaa_ | that looks like a site to blog or something | 00:48 |
| dr_willis | StR34k: ive no idea what you want then. | 00:48 |
| yahyaa_ | why should I go to that site? | 00:48 |
| dr_willis | StR34k: its just adds extra entries to the end of the grub menu. | 00:48 |
| erpo | yahyaa_: Good. Now open a terminal, type ifconfig, and hit enter. | 00:48 |
| erpo | yahyaa_: That site is the polite way to send lots of text to other people over IRC. | 00:49 |
| StR34k | dr_willis: I just want to add a custom kernel parameter that will update with update-grub / grub-install and create a new entry.... | 00:49 |
| gottwisst | mark2: Ubuntu running as an installed OS should be fine.. it should definitely have better performance than in a virtualbox. | 00:49 |
| dr_willis | StR34k: custome paramaters would be in /etc/default/grub | 00:49 |
| srini232323 | So you're saying VMWare Tools might not be working because I don't have enough RAM? | 00:50 |
| dr_willis | StR34k: if you want a standard entry AND a custome entry. you will need to do some bash scripting i imagine and look at /etc/grub.d/ for examples | 00:50 |
| brute` | i added a conf in limits.d, rebooted, ulimit still 1024 | 00:50 |
| brute` | any ideas? | 00:50 |

| mark2 | gottwisst i did install ubuntu so would it be fine to use that one isnt installed in virtualbox? | 00:51 |
| erpo | Tex_Nick: No, only set your family account to auto login. | 00:52 |
| gottwisst | mark2: If it is installed, then yes | 00:52 |
| erpo | Tex_Nick: I think you can only set one account to auto login at a time. | 00:52 |
| gottwisst | mark2: It should be absolutely fine - in fact, it should run better than in virtualbox | 00:52 |

| Tex_Nick | erpo : ok so if i do that light will have to be displayed for multiple logins ? | 00:53 |
| mark2 | without installing in a virtualbox isnt that gonna ruin my computer? | 00:53 |

| gottwisst | Hey, how do you enable all of Ubuntu's repositories? | 01:23 |
| dr_willis | gottwisst: uncomment them in the sources.list file.. if you need all the official ones | 01:23 |
| vitimiti | bye | 01:24 |
| yahyaa | omg is everyone just ignoreing me??? | 01:24 |
| yahyaa | I knew I should have stayed with Microsoft, I wouldn | 01:24 |
| yahyaa | t have these problems | 01:25 |
| gottwisst | ... Perhaps I can help you | 01:25 |
| gottwisst | What is the problem | 01:25 |
| yahyaa | i can not see the different networks on my wifi under wlan interface | 01:26 |
| SineTheCreator | yahyaa: chill. what's your problem exactly? | 01:26 |
| SineTheCreator | yahyaa: okay. can you see SOME networks or none at all? | 01:26 |
| yahyaa | I CAN NOT SEE ANY OF THEM | 01:26 |
| SineTheCreator | okay. stop screaming :d | 01:27 |
| SineTheCreator | chances are, your wifi driver is not installed | 01:27 |
| SineTheCreator | a problem that would also exist on windows, btw. | 01:27 |
| yahyaa | exactly | 01:27 |
| tgm4883 | what wifi card? | 01:27 |
| SineTheCreator | what kind of card? | 01:27 |
| yahyaa | realtek | 01:27 |
| SineTheCreator | perfect | 01:27 |
| SineTheCreator | realtek cards have good linux support | 01:27 |
| SineTheCreator | do you know the exact model of the card? | 01:27 |
| yahyaa | no | 01:27 |
| SineTheCreator | okay | 01:28 |
| yahyaa | but it is 8...something | 01:28 |
| SineTheCreator | yahyaa: what version of ubuntu? 12.10? | 01:28 |
| yahyaa | kubuntu 12.10 | 01:28 |
| SineTheCreator | ahh | 01:28 |
| SineTheCreator | okay, do this for me please | 01:28 |
| coinhead | hello, my ralink 3290 wireless doesnt work, module rt3562sta is loaded but ifconfig or iwconfig doesnt show the device. what can i do? | 01:28 |
| SineTheCreator | open a terminal and run sudo lspci | 01:28 |
| zykotick9 | SineTheCreator: fyi, there is no reason to use sudo with lspci | 01:29 |
| SineTheCreator | down the lspci list you should see something like "Network Controller: Wireless etc etc" | 01:29 |
| SineTheCreator | zykotick9: ahh, right. my bad. | 01:29 |
| SineTheCreator | so just lspci is needed | 01:29 |
| SineTheCreator | for reference, mine says: Network controller: Broadcom Corporation BCM4318 [AirForce One 54g] | 01:29 |
| SineTheCreator | yours should list realtek as manufacturer and the model of your chipset | 01:30 |
| yahyaa | its open | 01:30 |
| SineTheCreator | once we have that we can proceed | 01:30 |
| yahyaa | show 22 lines of information | 01:30 |
| SineTheCreator | the only line that matters is the line for your wifi card | 01:30 |
| Merkidemis | Is there a way to force APT to use IPv4? It keeps trying IPv6 and getting errors without falling back to IPv4 | 01:31 |
| * [gnubie] waves | 01:31 | |
| SineTheCreator | Merkidemis: you can disable ipv6 in network interface options. | 01:31 |
| SineTheCreator | that should help i think | 01:31 |
| yahyaa | here is the model number RTL -8139/8139c/8139c+ | 01:32 |
| Merkidemis | SineTheCreator: Where would I do that? I am running a command line only version of Lucid | 01:32 |
| SineTheCreator | yahyaa: okay. | 01:32 |
| SineTheCreator | Merkidemis: ahh. /etc/network/interfaces | 01:32 |
| SineTheCreator | you'll have to add the appropriate line manually, google for the answer :( | 01:32 |
| SineTheCreator | yahyaa: the 8139 is your wired ethernet card | 01:33 |
| [gnubie] | my newly setup server is running on precise. i'm having an issue with regards to ssh key based auth. as far as i understand, permissions user's directory and .ssh directory are correct.. also, the authorized_keys seems correct. | 01:33 |
| SineTheCreator | i need the chipset for the wireless card | 01:33 |
| [gnubie] | debug1: Offering RSA public key: /Users/bintut/.ssh/id_rsa | 01:33 |
| [gnubie] | debug2: we sent a publickey packet, wait for reply | 01:33 |
| [gnubie] | Permission denied (publickey). | 01:33 |
| yahyaa | ok so how do I find that out | 01:33 |
| Merkidemis | SineTheCreator: I'll see what I can find, there isn't anything in there for IPv6 now... | 01:33 |
| SineTheCreator | yahyaa: run lspci again. there would be TWO network cards listed. one is ethernet, one is wireless. | 01:33 |
| yahyaa | oh i see it | 01:34 |
| === rafael is now known as Guest41440 | ||
| SineTheCreator | yahyaa: okay. what's the chipset model for the wireless card? | 01:34 |
| yahyaa | it is Broadcom Corporation BCM4318 [AirForce One 54g] 802.11g Wireless Lan Controller (rev 02) | 01:36 |
| SineTheCreator | ahh perfect! | 01:36 |
| SineTheCreator | thats the same card i have | 01:36 |
| SineTheCreator | it's easy to setup | 01:36 |
| Merkidemis | SineTheCreator: I don't have an ipv6 address when I run ifconfig, so I am confused as to why apt-get would even bother trying | 01:37 |
| Merkidemis | ipv6 | 01:37 |
| SineTheCreator | yahyaa: for that broadcom card, open a terminal and run: sudo apt-get install firmware-b43-installer | 01:37 |
| SineTheCreator | yahyaa: it will automagically download and install the correct firmware for your card. after it's done, reboot your machine to make wifi work. | 01:37 |
| zykotick9 | Merkidemis: perhaps check for ipv6 option in /etc/apt/apt.conf? i certainly don't remember lucid defaulting to ipv6 for apt! | 01:37 |
| SineTheCreator | yahyaa: i think you and me may have the same laptop D: | 01:40 |
| SineTheCreator | i have exactly the same ethernet and wifi chipset | 01:40 |
| Merkidemis | zykotick9: odd, I don't have a /etc/apt/apt.conf file | 01:40 |
| Merkidemis | zykotick9: Currently when I try to run an apt-get update command I get a lot of errors like: W: Failed to fetch http://archive.ubuntu.com/ubuntu/dists/lucid/Release.gpg Could not create a socket for 2001:67c:1360:8c01::18 (f=10 t=1 p=6) - socket (97 Address family not supported by protocol) [IP: 2001:67c:1360:8c01::18 80] | 01:41 |
| chessmate | hi all | 01:41 |
| zykotick9 | Merkidemis: that's ok. humm, i have no idea why apt would be using ipv6. best of luck. (not too much life left in lucid (less then a mounth, May 9th i believe), it was the last ubuntu i actually ran) | 01:41 |
| yahyaa | well that is my neighbors laptop I have a toshiba satelite | 01:41 |
| SineTheCreator | yahyaa: ahh. | 01:41 |
| SineTheCreator | did the firmware installer package work for you? | 01:42 |
| chessmate | I have a problem with the screen dim, can someone help me, please? | 01:42 |
| Merkidemis | zykotick9: (server is LTS until 2015, but I am not looking forward to the dist-update as those never go well for me | 01:42 |
| zykotick9 | Merkidemis: i wouldn't be surprised if canonical's servers are perhaps ipv6 only and they forgot about lucid? | 01:42 |
| SineTheCreator | Merkidemis: that is one reason i use debian for my servers. can't get much more long-term than every five years ;) | 01:43 |
| Merkidemis | Strange as I can ping the addresses over IPv4 just fine. | 01:43 |
| zykotick9 | SineTheCreator: no they don't. debian is about a 3 year on average (there have been some much longer gaps) support lifespan. | 01:44 |
| SineTheCreator | zykotick9: i know. my virtual machine provider doesn't offer LTS for some reason. that's another reason :D | 01:44 |
| SineTheCreator | they only offer ubuntu 10.x and 11.x | 01:45 |
| SineTheCreator | one thing though, debian does at least keep packages for older versions in the archive repos | 01:45 |
| SineTheCreator | ubuntu does not in my experience | 01:45 |
| tgm4883 | Merkidemis, are you using apt-cacher or squid deb proxy? | 01:46 |
| yahyaa | sinethecreator you are the bomb!!! | 01:47 |
| yahyaa | thanx it worked | 01:48 |
| Carlos30 | Hi, one question, if I install the beta 2 of ubuntu 13.04, when the final version leave should i reinstalling or upgrading would not be necessary to reinstall it? | 01:48 |
| zykotick9 | !final | Carlos30 | 01:48 |
| ubottu | Carlos30: If you install a development version of Ubuntu Raring and keep up with package updates, then you will be upgraded to the official release of 13.04 when it comes out. To make sure, type « sudo apt-get update && sudo apt-get dist-upgrade » in a terminal. | 01:48 |
| SineTheCreator | yahyaa: sure. give linux a proper shot, you'll find that there's nothing it doesn't do as well as windows. except gaming. and music, photo, and video production ;) | 01:49 |
| SineTheCreator | but yeah for everything else it's great | 01:49 |
| Carlos30 | thank you zykotick9 && ubottu | 01:49 |
| yahyaa | ok I do have one more issue | 01:49 |
| SineTheCreator | Carlos30: ubottu is a chatbot ;) | 01:50 |
| yahyaa | I have the HP OfficeJet 6600 | 01:50 |
| SineTheCreator | yahyaa: okay. usb or networked? | 01:50 |
| coinhead | hello, my ralink 3290 wireless doesnt work, it is llisted by lspci and lshw, module rt3562sta is loaded but ifconfig or iwconfig doesnt show the device. what can i do? | 01:50 |
| yahyaa | networked | 01:50 |
| Carlos30 | i know SineTheCreator , but it helps me :P | 01:50 |
| SineTheCreator | yahyaa: okay. go to system tools -> printers | 01:50 |
| yahyaa | i got the printer to print, but I can not get the scanner to be recognized by simple scan | 01:51 |
| SineTheCreator | ahh | 01:51 |
| Merkidemis | tgm4883: I don't know what either of those are, so I doubt it. | 01:51 |
| SineTheCreator | yahyaa: in that case i have no idea. mine 'just works' | 01:52 |
| recurry | so I want to make a bootable encrypted usb running ubuntu | 01:53 |
| recurry | I'm following these instructions | 01:53 |
| recurry | https://help.ubuntu.com/community/EncryptedFilesystemsOnRemovableStorage | 01:53 |
| recurry | ..but it says I'm going to lose all my data | 01:53 |
| recurry | I'm confused | 01:54 |
| yahyaa | what app are u using to scan | 01:54 |
| recurry | I don't understand? | 01:54 |
| SineTheCreator | yahyaa: install the 'hplip' package if it is not already | 01:54 |
| SineTheCreator | apparently that should help | 01:54 |
| SineTheCreator | also i never scan with mine | 01:54 |
| yahyaa | how do I do that | 01:55 |
| yahyaa | remember I am new to linux | 01:55 |
| SineTheCreator | yahyaa: open terminal. sudo apt-get install hplip | 01:55 |
| yahyaa | thats it ok | 01:55 |
| dr_willis | recurry: backups are always a good idea... | 01:55 |
| recurry | better learn to do that first, but I don't understand how it is possible to make an encrypted booting usb | 01:55 |
| dr_willis | recurry: ive never really tried.. or worried about it | 01:56 |
| yahyaa | it seems that it is already installed | 01:56 |
| recurry | but are you a linux wizard? | 01:56 |
| yahyaa | but y cant I get it to work | 01:56 |
| SineTheCreator | yahyaa: once that package is installed, delete the printer in system settings -> printers and reinstall it. this time select HPLIP as the print driver. | 01:56 |
| yahyaa | ok let me try that | 01:57 |
| dr_willis | recurry: been using linux for years.. i havent the need for encrypted home/dirs/devices | 01:57 |
| recurry | have you ever had you laptop stolen? | 01:58 |
| recurry | I had accounts stolen off my stolen computer | 01:58 |
| guang | i have no /proc/net/wireless. | 01:58 |
| SineTheCreator | recurry: you can use luks and luksOpen to encrypt a usb drive i believe | 01:58 |
| recurry | but will it boot? | 01:58 |
| guang | i try to install wireless tools,but even i have installed it,it sill has no /proc/net/wireless | 01:59 |
| SineTheCreator | recurry: ahh. in that case i have absolutely no idea. you may need to have a separate partition on the stick. | 01:59 |
| zykotick9 | dr_willis: encyrpted filesystems: required by 0.001% of people, used by much more ;) | 01:59 |
| recurry | ^ | 01:59 |
| SineTheCreator | i keep all my really important stuff on an encrypted network drive | 01:59 |
| SineTheCreator | that way even if someone steals my home linux server they cant access the real stuff without my key | 02:00 |
| recurry | I had the fucking police reading my private journals | 02:00 |
| dr_willis | i keep mine on a post-it-note on the wall. | 02:00 |
| recurry | really pissed off | 02:00 |
| recurry | this time I'm going to keep my shit encrypted | 02:00 |
| shape | dr_willis: I've just tried everything in various online tutorial ccsm, vsync is enabled, etc. I even tried some old drivers just now and I still get tearing. :( It used to work about a year ago, I had no tearing. What am I left to do, driver hop? | 02:01 |
| SineTheCreator | recurry: if you really want to do that i recommend installing a full install of ubuntu and creating a separate partition you can use for your docs | 02:01 |
| SineTheCreator | alternatively, you can simply set /home to be encrypted. | 02:01 |
| SineTheCreator | i believe it will not decrypt until your password is entered at login | 02:01 |
| recurry | hmm just /home? | 02:01 |
| SineTheCreator | recurry: there ARE ways to encrypt / (root) but it's quite difficult to make it boot unless you have a partition or drive for /boot to 'kick it off' so to speak | 02:02 |
| recurry | ah | 02:02 |
| SineTheCreator | when the system is booted the kernel has to look for the key | 02:02 |
| SineTheCreator | getting that to work when the key is INSIDE your encrypted root partition is quite difficult. but possible. | 02:02 |
| SineTheCreator | unfortunately i don't know how to do it | 02:03 |
| SineTheCreator | i always just went with easymode. encrypted /documents partition :D | 02:03 |
| recurry | thanks | 02:04 |
| dr_willis | shape: ive never found drivers to be the issue. | 02:04 |
| SineTheCreator | sure. sorry i couldnt be more help | 02:04 |
| RyuGuns | Hey... | 02:04 |
| yahyaa | i could not find the hplp driver | 02:04 |
| shape | dr_willis: so then with that options am I left with :( | 02:04 |
| dr_willis | shape: try xbmc and the xbmc session. ;) | 02:05 |
| dr_willis | shape: all ive ever had to do when using vlc was enable that v-sync in ccsm. and perhaps enable a filter on vlc. | 02:05 |
| RyuGuns | I was following the rust-lang tutorial and I typed "curl -0 http://static.rust-lang.org/dist/rust-0.6.tar.gz" into the terminal, then it just started spitting out random characters so I panicked and pressed Control+Z. | 02:05 |
| RyuGuns | Could someone explain what it was doing? | 02:05 |
| dr_willis | RyuGuns: ctrl-c 'stops | 02:06 |
| dr_willis | RyuGuns: ctrl-z sends to background. ; | 02:06 |
| RyuGuns | Really?.. | 02:06 |
| dr_willis | RyuGuns: it downloaded the file to the stdout sounds like | 02:07 |
| trism | RyuGuns: it's an -O not a -0 | 02:07 |
| RyuGuns | Oh... | 02:07 |
| RyuGuns | On the website it looked like -0, thanks a lot! | 02:07 |
| dr_willis | 0o0 <-- a fish. ;) | 02:07 |
| zykotick9 | RyuGuns: you might want to try "fg" and see if it's still running | 02:07 |
| dr_willis | gotta love font mixxups | 02:07 |
| RyuGuns | Yeah, it was still running, thanks people. | 02:08 |
| shape | dr_willis: btw, I am running Xubuntu, and Xubuntu doesn't use compiz, would that make it more a Graphics card Issue? | 02:09 |
| zykotick9 | shape: actually, i believe it's possible to run compiz in xfce as well. yes, xubuntu/xfce doesn't by default. | 02:10 |
| dr_willis | shape: hard to tell. I rarely have tearing issues.. but i tend to watch anime/non hd videos | 02:10 |
| keithclark_ | I just installed Ubuntu on a new home built machine but it just boots to a purple screen. Nothing else. Ideas? | 02:11 |
| shape | zykotick9: I am trying to fix HD video tearing and it's driving me nuts, already tried 6 nvidia drivers and I have tried enabling and disabling sync to Vblank, etc. | 02:11 |
| shape | dr_willis: np, I'll see what I can find to fix this :) | 02:12 |
| lotus-blade | is there an easy way to tell what version of ubuntu i have? | 02:13 |
| zykotick9 | shape: honestly, i've always had tearing in Xorg :( numberous nvidia (and some intel) gpus. swithcing from dual monitors (of different resolution) to a single monitor helped a lot, but i still see some. screen tearing is one of the arguments for the replacing of xorg. good luck. | 02:13 |
| jrib | !version | lotus-blade | 02:13 |
| ubottu | lotus-blade: To find out what version of Ubuntu you have, type « lsb_release -a » in a !shell - To know the available version of a package, « apt-cache policy <package> » | 02:13 |
| shape | zykotick9: I'm only on 1 monitor tho :( | 02:14 |
| keithclark_ | maybe this is a uefi problem that is not possible to install ubuntu on? | 02:14 |
| shape | zykotick9: and replace it with what? | 02:14 |
| jackw | when 13.04 is going to arrive? | 02:14 |
| jackw | Can | 02:14 |
| jackw | Can't wait for it | 02:14 |
| zykotick9 | shape: well, ubuntu is going to something there creating in-house called Mir. the rest of the gnu/linux community seems to be going to something called wayland. | 02:15 |
| keithclark_ | hello? | 02:15 |
| hrolf | Hey, is there anyway that I can log, all those commands that are run/executed in a terminal? | 02:16 |
| hrolf | With its time? | 02:16 |
| keithclark_ | Anyone see me? | 02:16 |
| hrolf | I mean start time | 02:16 |
| zykotick9 | keithclark_: no | 02:16 |
| bean | hrolf, check out snoopy | 02:16 |
| keithclark_ | whew, I thought I was invisible | 02:17 |
| nurow | back in the day, I remember there was an application I used for palm ecognition on my click pad, and overall better functionality. anyone know what that might be? | 02:17 |
| shape | zykotick9: It seems wayland has been released since 2008, so I could change to it correct? | 02:18 |
| dr_willis | shape: if wayland was in any way actually useable... ;) | 02:19 |
| zykotick9 | shape: i'd recommend against trying to change away from Xorg. More hastle then it's probably worth! | 02:19 |
| dr_willis | shape: last i looked into wayland.. it was not in a state that normal people could use it | 02:19 |
| shape | dr_willis: yeah it seems so. Check my pm btw! | 02:19 |
| keithclark_ | Anyone could help with a new uefi install? | 02:20 |
| dr_willis | i rarely even see pm messages ;) | 02:20 |
| seekanet | hey all | 02:20 |
| dr_willis | just how my clients/znc are setup | 02:20 |
| seekanet | Source: https://help.ubuntu.com/community/Installation/FromUSBStick - Does this mean just put the iso on theUSB, or extract the files within the iso on theUSB stick? | 02:20 |
| seekanet | NEvermind that! I didnt read itall | 02:21 |
| dr_willis | seekanet: you IMAGE the iso onto a stick using a special tool normally | 02:21 |
| dr_willis | seekanet: or use a special tool to put the files on the stick and make it bootable. | 02:21 |
| seekanet | Yes dr_willis that was totally my fault I did not read. I shouldnt' dothat | 02:21 |
| taza | I want to install Ubuntu and wipe a device's partition table. However, I *know* for a fact that said device's hard drive has bad blocks. | 02:21 |
| taza | What should I do? | 02:21 |
| recurry | seekanet, you can't install ubuntu onto the usb from the same usb | 02:22 |
| keithclark_ | Anyone? | 02:22 |
| dr_willis | taza: prepare for hd failure in the near future? | 02:22 |
| taza | dr_willis: Mostly I want Ubuntu to not try to use said blocks | 02:23 |
| keithclark_ | Is uefi just not installable? | 02:23 |
| taza | The system is only for internet use anyway. | 02:23 |
| shape | dr_willis: check pm again! :) | 02:23 |
| RyuGuns | Hai DangerOnTheRangr, long time no see. | 02:24 |
| DangerOnTheRangr | Hiya :) | 02:24 |
| RyuGuns | How is everyone in PAnda? | 02:25 |
| DangerOnTheRangr | Pretty good, though I haven't had time to idle there for a while, unfortunately | 02:25 |
| RyuGuns | :( | 02:25 |
| keithclark_ | So is new hardware just not >Ubuntu friendly? | 02:26 |
| RyuGuns | DangerOnTheRangr: How is that game you were working on? | 02:26 |
| taza | dr_willis: I have a list of said bad blocks generated by badblocks, I just need to know how to keep the Ubuntu Installer from trying to use them. | 02:26 |
| dr_willis | keithclark_: depends on the hardware.. Alienware now sales ubuntu-prenstalled pcs from what ive seen | 02:26 |
| keithclark_ | dr_willis, yeah, it seems that affordable hardware is no longer Ubuntu friendly. | 02:27 |
| dr_willis | taza: if they are all in one group/area - ive made partions that include the bad areas. and just make sure to not use that ares | 02:27 |
| DangerOnTheRangr | RyuGuns: It's coming along pretty well, but studies and stuff are taking up a lot of my time | 02:27 |
| keithclark_ | dr_willis, Windows bound I guess | 02:27 |
| RyuGuns | DangerOnTheRangr: :( Alright, hope you have progress with that. | 02:27 |
| DangerOnTheRangr | Thanks :) | 02:27 |
| dr_willis | keithclark_: my $35 raspberry pi is affordable and linux friendly. ;) | 02:27 |
| taza | Okay, asking generally: I have a list of bad blocks generated by badblocks. Any way to tell the Ubuntu installer about them to avoid using them? | 02:27 |
| keithclark_ | dr_willis, yup...not for gaming though | 02:28 |
| taza | Good luck getting a $35 Raspberry Pi, or to get Linux running on it. | 02:28 |
| taza | ... Linux? Ubuntu. | 02:28 |
| keithclark_ | dr_willis, I guess Linux is bound for pi type of hardware? | 02:28 |
| RageRiot | hi folks, I've just tried to install ubuntu but after reboot windows loaded. during the installation I was sure I chose the correct drive which contained the boot loader. I used a tool called boot repair to generate a report. http://paste.ubuntu.com/5706595/ | 02:28 |
| dr_willis | taza: :) i got 2 of them/. | 02:28 |
| taza | dr_willis: $65 where I am, and haven't even seen how to make Ubuntu run on it | 02:29 |
| dr_willis | My 2 yr old system does windows games decently well. on linux and windows. but i guess its the game | 02:29 |
| dr_willis | taza: use rasbian. ubuntu arm dosent support the pis arm chip. | 02:29 |
| dr_willis | taza: theres dozens of othe mini-arm gizmos out there also . if you dont have to hae a pi. ;) | 02:30 |
| taza | dr_willis: Raspberry Pi prices: $65 for one, $100 for 2. | 02:30 |
| guang | why i run command "iwconfig",all four interface shows no wireless extension? | 02:30 |
| dr_willis | taza: you should be able to order them direct from england for less. ;) | 02:31 |
| taza | dr_willis: Those are the website prices. | 02:31 |
| taza | Well, dunno about the one copy 'cuz they don't show that to people who haven't logged in | 02:31 |
| * zykotick9 wishes raspberry pi's ran on all free/open driver/hardware... but they don't... | 02:32 | |
| keithclark_ | I guess the days of homemade pc's are over now for Linux. | 02:32 |
| taza | Me too. The Raspberry Pi makes a decent server, but the installing is so difficult and the binary blobs make security doubtful. | 02:32 |
| dr_willis | its being worked on i hear zykotick9 .. but who knows. the thing has only been out for like a year. | 02:32 |
| dr_willis | keithclark_: i homemake mine all the time for linux.. im not sure what you are going on about | 02:32 |
| keithclark_ | dr_willis, uefi | 02:33 |
| RageRiot | I was just going to say the same thing. | 02:33 |
| dr_willis | UEFI can work in linux | 02:33 |
| keithclark_ | dr_willis, Will not allow Linux to run | 02:33 |
| Morph4me | keithclarke: uefi is supported in the linux kernel ....ubuntu 12.10 | 02:33 |
| Morph4me | i have it running in this machine | 02:33 |
| RageRiot | I'm pretty sure manufactureres would get a shock when their hardware sales drop from linux users not making systems | 02:33 |
| taza | I trust Broadcom to not try to overtake my Pi, but I don't trust their binary blobs are secure enough. | 02:33 |
| dr_willis | https://wiki.archlinux.org/index.php/Unified_Extensible_Firmware_Interface | 02:34 |
| dr_willis | seems like a good read on the topic. ;) | 02:34 |
| RageRiot | could my boot problem be due to UEFI? I'm running win 7 from an SSD, I just installed ubuntu but it booted to windows after installe | 02:35 |
| * zykotick9 use to think uefi was a bad thing - the uefi talk at libreplanet 2013 (video NOT online yet) changed his mind. | 02:35 | |
| keithclark_ | This uefi is a nightmare | 02:35 |
| dr_willis | installed it where? | 02:35 |
| RageRiot | a seperate HDD | 02:35 |
| Morph4me | if windows is installed using the uefi then ubuntu has to be installed using uefi | 02:35 |
| taza | I have a list of bad blocks generated by badblocks. Any way to tell the Ubuntu installer about them to avoid using them? | 02:36 |
| RageRiot | does win7 even suppor UEFI ? | 02:36 |
| dr_willis | RageRiot: issue could be that 'secure boot' stuff.. but i dont know about it | 02:36 |
| dr_willis | 64-bit Windows Vista (SP1+), Windows 7 and Windows 8 versions support booting using UEFI firmware. | 02:37 |
| RageRiot | UEFI is still new to me. I reclll installing windows 7 the same way I always do. | 02:37 |
| zykotick9 | taza: i think that's the drive's bios' job. i doubt there is a way to tell the install about them (i also doubt there "should" be). | 02:37 |
| Morph4me | keithclarke not really just read your manual and set your bios accordingly | 02:37 |
| keithclark_ | dr_willis, secure boot does not have an effect either. Tried to turn it off | 02:37 |
| keithclark_ | Morph4me, read the manual and applied. Still no go | 02:37 |
| dr_willis | unplug the windows hd .. and see if it boots.. :) | 02:37 |
| RageRiot | heh | 02:37 |
| dr_willis | One way to trouble shoot. | 02:38 |
| dr_willis | be sort of silly if all this time it was due to bios not wanting to boot the hd.. and that was the issue | 02:38 |
| dr_willis | or however uefi sets that boot item | 02:38 |
| RageRiot | yeh, secure boot is diabled. I read that this secure UEFI is only a worry when windows 8 onwards.. | 02:38 |
| wcchandler | win7 supports uefi | 02:38 |
| RageRiot | by default ? | 02:39 |
| wcchandler | pretty much | 02:39 |
| wcchandler | depends on how you boot the windows installer. | 02:39 |
| Morph4me | keithclark , what mobo do you have in your system ? | 02:39 |
| keithclark_ | Morph4me, Asus F2A55-M | 02:40 |
| wcchandler | then it'll install it the uefi partition if it can... which is the disappointing part of linux.. not of the big dogs seem to do it as intuitively as that. | 02:40 |
| Morph4me | uefi works great cuts the boot time way down | 02:40 |
| ivotkl | Hello everyone. =) | 02:40 |
| wilee-nilee | RageRiot, I would use the ubuntu forums make a thread and post the bootinfo summary. | 02:40 |
| Morph4me | keithclark ty | 02:40 |
| RageRiot | k | 02:40 |
| zykotick9 | Morph4me: boot time is not the advantage of uefi, security is | 02:41 |
| Morph4me | yes that too | 02:41 |
| wcchandler | it also maps devices better and correctly, and more... logically. | 02:41 |
| Morph4me | added perk | 02:41 |
| keithclark_ | zykotick9, only if you can actually boot | 02:41 |
| Morph4me | lol | 02:41 |
| wcchandler | security is not an advantage to uefi. that really wasn't part of the initial protocol. it was to be a replacement for bios, then people saw the perks of adding security features. | 02:42 |
| zykotick9 | wcchandler: i'm pretty sure "signed boot" is fairly fundamental element to uefi, and that's the security i'm refering too | 02:43 |
| RageRiot | just to get my head around Somthing, during the ubuntu installer appart from selecting the drive to install ubuntu too. Do I select the boot loader drive or the boot loader partition( the part that windows boots from) | 02:43 |
| Pinkamena_D | Hello, I just tried to install the ati driver with this video: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=52JRCddtZLk It ended up saying on the second to last step "could not find compatable adapter" | 02:43 |
| Morph4me | keithclark if you haven't looked at this you might want to check this out https://help.ubuntu.com/community/UEFI | 02:44 |
| wcchandler | zykotick9: signed boot wasn't part of the original RFC for uefi | 02:44 |
| Pinkamena_D | Now, after a restart, I am left with a darker color screen and sluggish-er graphics | 02:44 |
| RageRiot | I'l look at that as well. :) | 02:44 |
| keithclark_ | Morph4me, Yep, no luck | 02:44 |
| Morph4me | k | 02:44 |
| Pinkamena_D | All of the commands he did in the video are in the description | 02:44 |
| Pinkamena_D | Does anyone know how to reverse them?' | 02:44 |
| keithclark_ | Morph4me, still boots to purple screen | 02:44 |
| Morph4me | keithclark are you dual booting win7 on that machine ? | 02:45 |
| === pedro_ is now known as Guest70591 | ||
| Guest70591 | hi every one | 02:45 |
| Pinkamena_D | I had the problem at the step he numbered "5" | 02:45 |
| Morph4me | if it's purple uefi is not set in the bios | 02:45 |
| Merkidemis | STUPID APT-GET! STOP TRYING TO USE IPv6 | 02:46 |
| Guest70591 | i need help whith my pinguy os | 02:46 |
| keithclark_ | Morph4me, what do you mean set? | 02:46 |
| Guest70591 | i cant update my OS | 02:48 |
| wilee-nilee | Guest70591, Not supported here you need #pinguyOS | 02:48 |
| ivotkl | Guest70591, What's wrong exactly? | 02:48 |
| Morph4me | keithclark your manual will tell you how to enable it ...if however you have win 7 in legacy mode set... know this that when uefi is then set windows will not boot | 02:48 |
| ivotkl | Oh, he/she had Pinguy... | 02:48 |
| ivotkl | *Oh, he/she has Pinguy... | 02:48 |
| keithclark_ | Morph4me, no windows. Raw system | 02:49 |
| Morph4me | k | 02:49 |
| zykotick9 | wcchandler: really? that surprises me - thanks. | 02:50 |
| Morph4me | well if your mobo has the capability of uefi it's just a matter of enabling it ....on this asus z77 board it's rather simple | 02:51 |
| Guest70591 | Could not download all repository indexes | 02:53 |
| keithclark_ | Everything we try is just purple screen. | 02:53 |
| keithclark_ | I'm going to assume that Ubuntu is just not compatible with new hardware anymore. | 02:53 |
| Guest70591 | it is normal ? | 02:54 |
| dr_willis | keithclark_: that assumption is incorrect. | 02:54 |
| dr_willis | you said you installed.. so it aparently did boot and ran.. | 02:55 |
| keithclark_ | dr_willis, nope, just installed. Not running | 02:55 |
| === puff` is now known as puff | ||
| dr_willis | You used the live-cd-desktop to install? if so - it did run | 02:55 |
| Morph4me | keithclark in your manual if you have it look under section 2.7 you will see the boot tab | 02:55 |
| dr_willis | it could be as trivial as grub is on the wrong hd.. | 02:56 |
| keithclark_ | dr_willis, yes, live CD ran. Install did not | 02:56 |
| Morph4me | click csm on the list and set uefi to auto | 02:56 |
| dr_willis | if you have 2 hds/. i would try unplugging all but the linux hd. | 02:56 |
| Morph4me | leave secure boot to standard on the next screen it shows you from there | 02:56 |
| Morph4me | it's the same bios screen as mine | 02:57 |
| Morph4me | of course make sure you download the 64bit version of the ubuntu 12.10 os | 02:57 |
| keithclark_ | Lost here, what to try next? | 02:57 |
| Morph4me | you have your manual ? | 02:58 |
| keithclark_ | What manual? | 02:58 |
| shape | dr_willis: you here? | 02:58 |
| Morph4me | of the mobo | 02:58 |
| keithclark_ | Yes, Windows oriented | 02:58 |
| shape | dr_willis: I fixed the tearing! what I did was add under Section "Screen": | 02:58 |
| keithclark_ | No Linux info | 02:58 |
| shape | dr_willis Option "TripleBuffer" "True" and then run sudo nvidia-xconfig --no-composite | 02:59 |
| lumbert | Hello. | 02:59 |
| Morph4me | i know im talking about your bios settings | 02:59 |
| shape | zykotick9: I fixed the tearing! I disabled composite in xconf! | 02:59 |
| zykotick9 | shape: nice! | 02:59 |
| Morph4me | section 2.7 shows the boot tab in your bios | 02:59 |
| shape | zykotick9: ROFL! was just writing to you | 02:59 |
| dsl1159 | hie | 03:00 |
| dr_willis | shape: i think vlc also has some extra-buffers filters | 03:00 |
| shape | dr_willis: zykotick9: it still tears very little but it's watchable now :) | 03:00 |
| shape | dr_willis: what do you mean, what about those? | 03:00 |
| dr_willis | shape: ive used them to get rid of tearing on my netbook. | 03:00 |
| Morph4me | and just follow what i said up ^^^^ there when you see it | 03:00 |
| dsl1159 | hie pedro_ | 03:01 |
| keithclark_ | So give up for me? Just Windows? | 03:01 |
| thoonai | ping | 03:02 |
| dr_willis | pingu | 03:02 |
| keithclark_ | Seems like Linux has a major new problem with uefi! | 03:02 |
| === dsl1159 is now known as perl1994 | ||
| dr_willis | keithclark_: more likely its either an issue with your specific hardware.. or you just dont hae a setting correct./ | 03:02 |
| Morph4me | ok so i see where this is going ...stepping out of it ...goodluck keithclark ...your maunal has the info and you just have to read it for it to work | 03:02 |
| thoonai | does it sounds normal that the debian (6.0.7) installer can't detect ubuntu luks crypted disks? | 03:03 |
| dr_willis | but it seems you want to argure more then listen. good luck | 03:03 |
| keithclark_ | Morph4me, I've read the manual | 03:03 |
| Morph4me | dr.willis amen | 03:03 |
| shape | dr_willis: hmm I don't seem to find them, extra buffer you say? | 03:03 |
| wilee-nilee | keithclark_, Problem is the boot, the setups are different per manufacturers. | 03:03 |
| === perl1994 is now known as tinycore | ||
| dr_willis | shape: im on windows right now. i recall vlc having some advanced option. and showing of diffent filters | 03:03 |
| shape | dr_willis: yup I was looking through them but nothing extra buffer related | 03:04 |
| shape | dr_willis: wait let me print screen for you | 03:04 |
| dr_willis | vlc -> tools -> preferances CHeck the 'all' button. | 03:04 |
| keithclark_ | wilee-nilee, maybe but I don't seem to be able to find the solution. Just purple screen | 03:04 |
| shape | dr_willis: yup already did that | 03:04 |
| lumbert | I have, what I assume, is a basic question. I'm trying to browse the contents of a CD in my CDROM. I've gone to /media/cdrom and run "ls -a" and "ls -l" but nothing is there regardless of what cd I put in the cdrom. the /media directory only has cdrom, no cdrom1/2/3/etc. Anyone have any ideas? I know the cdrom works because I installed the OS using it. | 03:04 |
| === jack is now known as Guest61738 | ||
| wilee-nilee | keithclark_, Use the ubuntu forums, there are daily users there focusing on uefi. | 03:05 |
| dr_willis | shape: i see motion blur.. but not sure what else i played with. ;)_ theres a lot of fun filters | 03:05 |
| keithclark_ | wilee-nilee, yeah, probably easier for my Son to just buy Windows. | 03:06 |
| shape | dr_willis: yeah, that's the only one close I guess | 03:06 |
| keithclark_ | uefi is the death of Linux | 03:07 |
| thoonai | keithclark_: don't hope so :) | 03:07 |
| keithclark_ | thoonai, seems so | 03:07 |
| shape | dr_willis: but it's alright, it's watchable now, I don't have to boot into windows anymore to watch HD movies :) | 03:07 |
| thoonai | keithclark_: yeah your right, lets take torches and pikes | 03:07 |
| n-iCe | I think my fans are not working | 03:07 |
| shape | dr_willis: definitely the disablind of composite did the trick | 03:07 |
| n-iCe | laptop gets really hot since I installed ubuntu | 03:07 |
| thoonai | TORCHES AND PIKES! | 03:07 |
| n-iCe | how can I check? | 03:08 |
| keithclark_ | thoonai, I wish it were like that | 03:08 |
| dr_willis | !fud | keithclark_ | 03:08 |
| ubottu | keithclark_: Please do not fall prey to, or spread FUD (fear, uncertainty, and doubt) - it is not welcome here! Please see http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Fear,_uncertainty_and_doubt | 03:08 |
| thoonai | keithclark_: who would not change his opinion if a mo with torches and pikes is coming? | 03:08 |
| keithclark_ | dr_willis, well I have perfectly good hardware here with uefi the will not allow Linux to install. | 03:09 |
| dr_willis | keithclark_: you havent really shown us that you have tried most of the suggestions we have given.. | 03:09 |
| dr_willis | you said it DID install. but is not booting the install.. 2 very differnt things | 03:10 |
| thoonai | dr_willis: my asus e45 board with freeDOS uefi doesnt want to boot linux either (except ubuntu live sticks < 11.04) | 03:10 |
| keithclark_ | dr_willis, What do you require as proof? | 03:10 |
| dr_willis | one bit of hardware having isues does not prove that uefi is the death of linux. | 03:10 |
| thoonai | dr_willis, keithclark_ we should ,move over to #offtopic and let the support been done here | 03:10 |
| n-iCe | how can I activate my laptop fans? | 03:11 |
| dr_willis | thoonai: ;) i just get sick of ranting | 03:11 |

| SonikkuAmerica | ? | 03:11 |
| n-iCe | SonikkuAmerica: is a laptop, yes. | 03:11 |
| thoonai | n-iCe: second | 03:11 |

| linux_pinguy | really | 03:12 |
| IdleOne | !ot | 03:12 |
| ubottu | #ubuntu is the Ubuntu support channel, for all Ubuntu-related support questions. Please use #ubuntu-offtopic for other topics (though our !guidelines apply there too). Thanks! | 03:12 |
| thoonai | keithclark_: hoo? support? | 03:13 |
| keithclark_ | thoonai, help then? Whatever it takes to get Ubuntu installed on an uefi machine | 03:13 |
| thoonai | keithclark_: sure ^^ | 03:13 |
| SonikkuAmerica | n-iCe: What kind of laptop is this? | 03:13 |
| linux_pinguy | debian ubuntu is the best distro base | 03:13 |
| thoonai | keithclark_: no support is ok too, but FUD and ranting belong to #offtopic | 03:14 |
| thoonai | keithclark_: do you have a legacy bios mode? | 03:14 |
| keithclark_ | thoonai, ok so I assume that uefi installs are offtopic now<? | 03:14 |
| thoonai | keithclark_: m( | 03:14 |
| dr_willis | again with the sillyness.. | 03:14 |
| keithclark_ | ? | 03:14 |
| IdleOne | keithclark_: ask a specific question, moaning about stuff and not stating what you have tried or what errors you are getting is offtopic. | 03:15 |
| keithclark_ | IdleOne, When a fresh install boots to just a purple screen, what to do? | 03:15 |
| dr_willis | !nomodeset | 03:15 |
| ubottu | A common kernel (boot)parameter is nomodeset, which is needed for some graphic cards that otherwise boot into a black screen or show corrupted splash screen. See http://ubuntuforums.org/showthread.php?t=1613132 on how to use this parameter | 03:15 |
| keithclark_ | IdleOne, No errors | 03:15 |
| thoonai | try tty1 | 03:16 |
| IdleOne | keithclark_: I didn't say to direct all your questions at me. | 03:16 |
| dr_willis | You can also set it to boot to text mode keithclark_ and see if any messages/consoles work | 03:16 |
| dr_willis | !text | 03:16 |
| ubottu | To start your system in text-only mode append 'text' (without the quotes) to the kernel line in the grub menu. You can access the grub menu by pressing Esc (Grub legacy) or Shift (Grub2) during boot. For more info see https://help.ubuntu.com/community/BootOptions#Text%20Mode | 03:16 |
| IdleOne | see the nomodeset info ubottu just gave | 03:16 |
| Morph4me | smell a troll ..trust me if he read the mobo manual UEFI enabling is no issue ....section 2.7 ,but he has been told that | 03:16 |
| dr_willis | but.. you said it wasent booting.. if you see the plymouth/aniation.. it has booted.. | 03:17 |
| zykotick9 | n-iCe: install lm-sensors, and from a terminal type "sensors" do you see cpu/mb temps? do you see fan speeds? | 03:17 |
| keithclark_ | Morph4me, I did this stuff from 2.7 | 03:18 |
| thoonai | someone using debian and ubuntu? | 03:18 |
| leptone | how do i add more work spaces? | 03:18 |
| n-iCe | zykotick9: | 03:18 |
| keithclark_ | Morph4me, Why a troll? I just want to get hardware that my Son bought to work. | 03:18 |
| dr_willis | leptone: using Unity? Hmm. I think the ccsm tool/general tab.. had settings for that.. but that may be the old skool way | 03:18 |
| thoonai | leptone: right click on the workspace bar and set in the properties | 03:18 |
| n-iCe | zykotick9: http://pastebin.com/eGP0T1Cr | 03:19 |
| thoonai | leptone: for gnome-shell | 03:19 |
| Morph4me | keithclark if after reading and wait it has pics of what to do and you still don't get it then yeah stick to windows you would be better off.... enough said | 03:19 |
| keithclark_ | Thanks Morph4me | 03:19 |
| zykotick9 | n-iCe: sorry i don't go to pastebin.com if you repaste to paste.ubuntu.com i'll go. | 03:19 |

| leptone | dr_willis, yeah unity thanks! | 03:20 |
| thoonai | n-iCe: this is about 20 degrees to hot | 03:20 |
| leptone | thx thoonai as well | 03:20 |
| shape | zykotick9: Upon further research I've been reading that it's actually the XFCE4 compositing manager that is causing the problem. If I install ubuntu net install with openbox only do you think this problem will be solved? | 03:20 |
| dr_willis | shape: or just 'sudo apt-get install openbox' and select it at the login screen.... | 03:21 |
| dr_willis | shape: or use any of the DOZEN other window managers out there. ;) | 03:21 |
| n-iCe | zykotick9: http://paste.ubuntu.com/5706670/ | 03:21 |
| zykotick9 | shape: well, openbox IS a windows manager, which replaces compiz 100%. but for your specific case? i have no real idea. | 03:21 |
| shape | dr_willis: yup, i3 and awesome are good too, etc. | 03:21 |
| dr_willis | shape: xbmc even adds its own 'xbmc' session to give you a videoplyer desktp | 03:21 |
| dr_willis | I dont find awsome very awsome. ;) | 03:21 |
| shape | dr_willis: oh i see, I'll try that and see then, much easier :) | 03:22 |
| dr_willis | shape: if you are big into videos. you may want to check out xbmc and that xbmc session | 03:22 |
| shape | dr_willis: yeah definitely, installing it now | 03:22 |
| n-iCe | zykotick9: what do you think? | 03:23 |
| dr_willis | night all | 03:24 |
| zykotick9 | n-iCe: 70+ degree is highish for sure... don't really have any suggestion for you, BUT my desktop is in the 38-60 range doing nothin' at all. load average: 0.21, 0.18, 0.22 | 03:25 |

| zykotick9 | SpazTrooper: ask your question - all on one line | 03:25 |
| keithclark_ | As a side note, Ubuntu needs to find a solution to this 'uefi install' problem. I have no choice but to go and buy Windows now because of this issue. I'm sure I'm not alone. | 03:25 |

| SpazTrooper | What did I do wrong? | 03:27 |
| keithclark_ | nightdemon666, on or off, same result. Purple screen | 03:27 |
| moppers | keithclark_, do you have the logos at the bottom? | 03:27 |

| SpazTrooper | *I am trying to boot Win7 on another PC from my Lubuntu | 03:28 |
| keithclark_ | moppers, yup | 03:28 |
| IdleOne | keithclark_: if you are seeing the purple screen then Ubuntu is installed. the problem is not uefi it is your graphics drivers and you have not bothered to tell us what graphics card you have or tried the !nomodeset that was suggested. | 03:28 |
| wilee-nilee | SpazTrooper, How did you load the usb? | 03:28 |
| keithclark_ | IdleOne, how to try the nomodeset? | 03:29 |
| IdleOne | !nomodeset | keithclark_ | 03:29 |
| ubottu | keithclark_: A common kernel (boot)parameter is nomodeset, which is needed for some graphic cards that otherwise boot into a black screen or show corrupted splash screen. See http://ubuntuforums.org/showthread.php?t=1613132 on how to use this parameter | 03:29 |
| SpazTrooper | I used Gparted and formatted the USB to NTSF | 03:29 |
| SpazTrooper | Then Copy and pasted the .iso on the formatted USB | 03:29 |
| IdleOne | !usb | SpazTrooper | 03:29 |
| ubottu | SpazTrooper: For information about installing Ubuntu from USB flash drives, see https://help.ubuntu.com/community/Installation/FromUSBStick - For a persistent live USB install, see: https://wiki.ubuntu.com/LiveUsbPendrivePersistent | 03:29 |
| nightdemon666 | hmm, spaztrooper... i remember booting win7 from a flashdrive before. i used a tool from a web site that described how to install win7 from an image that you would have already had the licence for.. i'll look it up now | 03:29 |
| wilee-nilee | SpazTrooper, All gparted does is make partitions, how did you get W7 on the usb, I assume that is waht you have done. | 03:30 |
| thoonai | help! debian doesnt recognize ubuntu crypted hdds - the ubuntu way of os sucks | 03:30 |
| SpazTrooper | All I did was take the .Win7 .iso and paste it in the NTSF USB | 03:30 |
| IdleOne | thoonai: ask #debian for debian support | 03:31 |
| moppers | i dont know of any tool to make a bootable win7 usb from within linux - the microsoft one doesnt run. and n you cannot copy/paste the win7 iso | 03:31 |
| SpazTrooper | grr | 03:31 |
| thoonai | IdleOne: I crypted the disks with #ubuntu ^^ | 03:31 |
| keithclark_ | IdleOne, which file to modify? I see a lot of info but not the basics | 03:31 |
| lucasdeabreu | SpazTrooper, unzip it before and put on usb | 03:31 |
| IdleOne | thoonai: but you are having a problem with debian | 03:31 |
| wilee-nilee | moppers, Easily done. | 03:31 |
| SpazTrooper | Yes I did | 03:31 |
| IdleOne | keithclark_: read the wiki it tells you | 03:31 |
| nightdemon666 | spaztrooper, what i did was use the Windows 7 USB/DVD download tool in provided in this url link http://www.pcworld.com/article/248995/how_to_install_windows_7_without_the_disc.html. i suggest trying it to see if it works for you. it worked for me like a charm :) | 03:32 |
| keithclark_ | IdleOne, what wiki? | 03:32 |
| IdleOne | !nomodeset > keithclark_ | 03:32 |
| ubottu | keithclark_, please see my private message | 03:32 |
| SpazTrooper | Ok thank you. I will try it and see if it works | 03:32 |
| SpazTrooper | Thanks | 03:32 |
| nightdemon666 | :) | 03:32 |
| moppers | wilee-nilee, if you have info on making a bootable/installable win7 USB from an ISO in Linux, I'd be interested | 03:32 |
| lucasdeabreu | SpazTrooper, bootsect /nt60 I | 03:32 |
| thoonai | IdleOne: true, but #debian just ignores their 'special' installer ;) | 03:32 |
| lucasdeabreu | SpazTrooper, make ufb bootable | 03:33 |
| keithclark_ | IdleOne, but you PM points to the same page. | 03:33 |
| lucasdeabreu | usb | 03:33 |
| SpazTrooper | IT twas bootable | 03:33 |
| IdleOne | keithclark_: the answer is on that page | 03:33 |
| moppers | wilee-nilee, i have tried DD'ing the iso | 03:33 |
| SpazTrooper | The flag was set to boot | 03:33 |
| keithclark_ | IdleOne, Holy cow, I'm a simple guy here. | 03:33 |
| lucasdeabreu | u need faith soo | 03:33 |
| jmacc | Ola :) | 03:33 |
| IdleOne | keithclark_: there is no "magic" button. you're going to have to read some and learn a little. | 03:34 |
| wilee-nilee | moppers, Ntfs partition with a boot flag, extract it with archive manager to the partition. | 03:34 |
| nightdemon666 | ah crap.. i missed the point of you doingit on lubuntu huh spaztrooper :( well, i suppose you could always do it from a VM running windows... for eample virtual box | 03:34 |
| keithclark_ | IdleOne, I did and understand zero here.....what you have to be a techie to get Linux to work now with uefi? | 03:34 |
| moppers | wilee-nilee, have you tested that? | 03:34 |
| keithclark_ | (sorry, very frustrated) | 03:35 |
| wilee-nilee | moppers, Many times works with W8 as well. | 03:35 |
| SpazTrooper | What does me being on Lubuntu do with it? | 03:35 |
| SpazTrooper | :? | 03:35 |
| SpazTrooper | lol | 03:35 |
| IdleOne | keithclark_: last time, your problem is not uefi. your problem if I may be blunt is you. | 03:35 |
| nightdemon666 | lol, keithclark, my magic 8 ball points to "yes" you have to be a techie to get anything working in linux :P | 03:35 |
| keithclark_ | IdleOne, ok, thanks\ | 03:35 |
| SpazTrooper | Im running on a netbook... | 03:36 |
| keithclark_ | nightdemon666, I see that\ | 03:36 |
| lucasdeabreu | keithclark_, what's ur problem? | 03:36 |
| moppers | wilee-nilee, ok, looking at it | 03:36 |
| wilee-nilee | SpazTrooper, Your best with generating a bootinfo summary from the bootrepair tool to see what is where, then using a recovery or install W7 disc to fix it. | 03:36 |
| thoonai | nightdemon666: so my granny is a techie o.O | 03:36 |
| * thoonai is not sure about this | 03:36 | |
| moppers | wilee-nilee, how ar you installing the boot loader though? | 03:36 |
| SpazTrooper | Ok, Im on a netbook. No CD drive or anything. | 03:36 |
| nightdemon666 | spaztrooper, i realized that you said you were runninglubuntu, and werent tryingot get the win7 iso image to boot using a window os, but instead from the lubuntu os? true? | 03:36 |
| wilee-nilee | moppers, YOu don't have to the bootflag triggers the extract to boot. | 03:37 |
| moppers | wilee-nilee, marking it as boot flag in gparted etc, copy the files - you still need a boot loader, surely? | 03:37 |
| xzcvczx | SpazTrooper: go to nearest electronics store, buy a usb cd drive, do what you need to, return drive saying it wasn't compatible | 03:37 |
| Cache_Money | How would I be able to tell whether a specific cronjob is running? | 03:37 |
| wickedpuppy | keithclark_: try this section --> "How to temporarily set kernel boot options on an installed OS (not wubi)". See if it works | 03:37 |
| moppers | wilee-nilee, ok building an ISO | 03:37 |
| SpazTrooper | Yes, I need to make the bootable USB from my lubuntu to put on another netbook that will run the Win7 | 03:37 |
| xzcvczx | Cache_Money: you can set it up to log, check the logs or if its currently running ps aux | 03:37 |
| Cache_Money | xzcvczx: It's currently running and I'd like to stop it and make a few changes (as the script will run for almost 6 hours) | 03:38 |
| Infinix | Why does my screen flicker when I run wine. I use Intel graphic card | 03:38 |
| nightdemon666 | OR..... just simply run a windows image in virtualbox on your lubuntu install. run that tool i showed you in the link i provided (http://www.pcworld.com/article/248995/how_to_install_windows_7_without_the_disc.html) and install your win7 image to flash drive that way... yeah yeah, i know, its not fully dependent on lunix, yeah yeah i know its a long way about getting it to work, but its a way :P | 03:38 |
| xzcvczx | Cache_Money: then killall <name> or kill <process id | 03:39 |
| xzcvczx | > | 03:39 |
| keithclark_ | IdleOne, your answer is for WUBI | 03:39 |
| thoonai | Infinix: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=IVpOyKCNZYw | 03:39 |
| thoonai | does killall * works? | 03:40 |
| xzcvczx | no | 03:40 |
| thoonai | why? | 03:40 |
| Cache_Money | xzcvczx: is this the right pid? root 723 0.0 0.1 19104 992 ? Ss 2012 1:27 cron | 03:40 |
| Cache_Money | Or is that a system cron? | 03:40 |
| xzcvczx | Cache_Money: thats the cron deamon, you need to look for what the cron script runs | 03:41 |
| nightdemon666 | truely SpazTrooper, useing windows to perform some things is acceptable, you are after all attempting to accomplish a task that involves windows software, so let windows handle that job... thats the way i see it. as linus torvalds says, "use the best tool for the job" :) | 03:41 |
| Cache_Money | xzcvczx: I dont' see the file name/path when I run $ ps -ef | 03:41 |
| xzcvczx | nightdemon666: wow a torvalds quote that doesn't contain swearin | 03:41 |
| xzcvczx | g | 03:41 |
| xzcvczx | Cache_Money: are you sure its running then? | 03:41 |
| xzcvczx | cron is designed for jobs that run every x time periods then quit and are started again at the next time period | 03:42 |
| nightdemon666 | lol, thats funny, i dont actually recall torvals quotes with swearing but funny that he does.. i have watched some of his videos, and such dry humor he has, but i dont remember swearing... im sure he does like the rest of us lol | 03:42 |
| Cache_Money | xzcvczx: maybe I didn't set it up properly. How do I set up the cron to log? | 03:42 |
| xzcvczx | Cache_Money: there is plenty of documentation available on the google for that | 03:43 |
| Cache_Money | k | 03:43 |
| nightdemon666 | um, "man cron" thats what i would do... | 03:44 |
| Infinix | Umm how does that help me fix my problem. There is only an Intel graphic card on my laptop. | 03:44 |
| xzcvczx | Infinix: what are you trying ot run in wine? | 03:45 |
| nightdemon666 | infinix, sounds like a driver issue :/ | 03:45 |
| DarthExpeditor | Anyone here use NetBean and Zend? | 03:45 |
| nightdemon666 | graphics driver | 03:45 |
| nightdemon666 | cant say that ive heard of those DarthExpeditor | 03:45 |
| DarthExpeditor | NetBeans is an IDE for development and Zend is a framework for PHP development. | 03:46 |
| xzcvczx | DarthExpeditor: are you sure this is the best place to ask and not on help site for zend or netbeans? | 03:46 |
| DarthExpeditor | Its all good. They have a room but no one is talking right now. | 03:46 |
| Infinix | So basically Intel graphic card driver keeps switching back to Vesa huh? | 03:46 |
| xzcvczx | that doesn't make this the right place to ask | 03:46 |
| nightdemon666 | anyone else think that by tomorrow an update for Firefox 20000000000.1.0 will be popping up on your screen??? | 03:47 |
| Infinix | Any way to fix graphic driver issue? | 03:47 |
| shape | OMG, did dr_willis leave? I really wanted to thank him for recommending me XBMC (Holy hell that XBMC session is so awesome), because now if I load up the xbmc session there is absolutely no tearing and rendering is completely like in Windows.

| wilee-nilee | PlastikSpork, Download the link and set deluge to read downloads | 04:02 |
| PlastikSpork | wilee-nilee: how do you set Deluge to read the downloads? I've gone into deluge settings and clicked "Associate Manget links with Deluge" | 04:04 |

| PlastikSpork | wilee-nilee, what you want me to do by adding .torrent files and have deluge automatically download them is not going to work with a magnet link. .torrent files and magnet links are completely different things | 04:12 |
| Seven_Six_Two | deluge can do magnet links | 04:13 |
| Seven_Six_Two | I just right click on magnet link, paste-as-text in add>>url | 04:14 |
| wilee-nilee | PlastikSpork, I'm using Firefox if I click on a magnet link it asks me what I want to open with I choose deluge and then you see this. http://imagebin.org/253935 | 04:15 |
| wilee-nilee | chrome is not the only browser | 04:15 |
| PlastikSpork | Seven_Six_Two, Yes doing it your way works, but I am working on someone elses computer and they are not very computer literate and your way is to complicated... | 04:15 |
| Seven_Six_Two | is that a deluge client? I thought it was all web-based interface | 04:16 |
| wilee-nilee | PlastikSpork, Cool, however I don't think you have to set the add torrent from just use FF pick deluge and add it. | 04:17 |

| Scotch`Slugworth | Seven_Six_Two: its a flat partition do /home is in / | 04:26 |

| thoonai | mount? | 04:35 |
| thoonai | you mount it twice, first the device, then the crypted containes afairc | 04:36 |
| martukas | yes, i know that - but how do i know what to mount? | 04:36 |
| martukas | what's the device name to supply as argument to cryptsetup? | 04:37 |
| thoonai | did you checked how many drives you have in /dev? | 04:44 |
| martukas | I have this thing on my desktop labeled "8.3 GB Encrypted". If I try to open it and enter the password for cryptsetup via gui it fails and I don't get any more detailed errors. To mount it via console I need to know the device id for it. Those desktop links lack any kind of "properties" and the stuff in /dev/disk is opaque to me, so how do I identify the volume? | 04:44 |

| nurow | echo disable > /sys/firmware/acpi/interrupts/gpe13 | 05:00 |
| nurow | valhalla, this issue: https://bugs.launchpad.net/ubuntu/+source/linux/+bug/887793 | 05:01 |
| ubottu | Launchpad bug 887793 in linux (Ubuntu) "Kworker constantly taking about 100% CPU" [Medium,Confirmed] | 05:01 |
| nurow | lol | 05:01 |
| mattclark | Does any one know a solution? | 05:02 |
| wxl | ok folks, i'm looking to get a bcm4318 going in a live session. works on install with b43-fwcutter and the firmware (on a flash drive) and a restart, but i want to do it without a restart. modprobe b43 fails despite what the wiki says. | 05:02 |
| wxl | nightdemon666: gksudo nautilus, you mean, no? | 05:03 |
| valhalla_ | anyone know when the next LTS is going to be released? | 05:04 |
| betrayd | mattclark: that issue has been addressed | 05:04 |
| wxl | valhalla_: 25 apr but https://wiki.ubuntu.com/Releases for future reference | 05:04 |
| wilee-nilee | valhalla_, About 12 and 1/2 months | 05:05 |
| valhalla_ | wxl thanks! | 05:05 |
| betrayd | i can't recall where they posted the solution though,maybe swing by the forum, search | 05:05 |
| wxl | er not 25 apr duh | 05:05 |
| nightdemon666 | sorry nurow, i think i managed to confuse my self on this one, i should have kept it more simple... i "think" you should be able to run that line of command at the bottom of the rc.local file. just open rc.local in gedit and paste that command "echo disable > /sys/firmware/acpi/interrupts/gpe13" root will run it at boot, and root owns the rc.local file anyway. | 05:06 |
| nurow | ok, cool, i'll try that | 05:07 |
| nightdemon666 | wxl, i still run sudo nautilus. i havent had to run it as gksudo. i think running gksudo causes the password request to be displayed on gui screen where as sudo requests the password from command line | 05:07 |
| betrayd | nurow if there is an 'exit 0' in rc.local your command should precede that | 05:08 |
| wxl | nightdemon666: i guess i don't mess with nautilus on the command line. i just use, well, the command line. but mixing gui programs with non gui programs is generally bad news. | 05:09 |
| nurow | I wish ubuntu had a right-click -> run as su command | 05:10 |
| betrayd | i run Guake/yeahconsole and stay as root there | 05:11 |
| * betrayd drinks potofcoffee | 05:12 | |
| nightdemon666 | wxl, agreed. i prefer the command line interface as well... i tend to want to tell people to sudo vi /blah or cat /blah or what ever, but then i realize that many people on in this room are probably beginers and arent really interested in the cli. although ther are some, and i still continue to offer cli suggestions, i just tend to think, "what if they want to do it graphically" technically, you can perform certainn jo | 05:12 |

| martukas | an encrypted volume won't mount, producing - mount: unknown filesystem type 'LVM2_member' - if I google it I mostly find discussions on how to open fedora volumes of this type, which is not my case. Anyone have some ideas? | 05:13 |
| ntzrmtthihu777 | hallo. anyone help me with getting mingw set up for cross-compilation from ubuntu to windows? | 05:13 |
| wxl | nightdemon666: and indeed if you're trying to speak to your audience, gksudo for graphical apps, e.g. sudo vi or gksudo gvim but not vice versa | 05:13 |
| betrayd | martukas: have you run lvm commands like vgchange, etc | 05:13 |
| betrayd | they are usually found in those fedora forums | 05:13 |
| betrayd | have to run those commands before attempting a mount | 05:14 |
| nightdemon666 | nurow, on the contrary, i DO NOT want that. thats just like a windows hting to do, and i'll bet many of exploit allow for malware to proliferate because of such option. best to keep the su-ing of command in the command line.. thats my opinion | 05:14 |
| martukas | but this was a xubuntu volume to begin with, created couple months ago with whatever encryption defaults offered during regular setup | 05:15 |
| nurow | i just find it a nuisance. I know its windowsy, but its not like they can't ever be right, lol | 05:15 |
| nurow | I mean... maybe it would be an option or a piece of software you could enable. | 05:15 |
| nightdemon666 | nurow, i'll bet the ubuntu team will add it eventually... | 05:15 |
| nurow | for advanced users who know what they are doing | 05:15 |
| slinnky | is the BSD networking stack windowsy? | 05:15 |
| betrayd | martukas: an LVM is an lvm regardless of distro | 05:16 |
| slinnky | ubuntu should get rid of that crap | 05:16 |

| ntzrmtthihu777 | wxl: I've done it before, can you give me the lspci -nn for it? | 05:17 |
| nightdemon666 | wxl, hate to argue that because it makes since, but then i'd wonder... "why type two more characters, and see additional graphics when i can accomplish the same thing slaving a virtual terminal???" lol, its all about preference :P | 05:17 |
| wxl | ntzrmtthihu777: it's a bcm4318 if that helps. so i know it's the b43 driver that's needed and there's no other driver for it, so there's no need to blacklist. | 05:17 |
| yahyaa | omg can someone please help me get my scanner working in kde??? | 05:18 |
| nurow | i also don't understand why Unity doesn't seem to have the ability to browse through all apps on my computer. | 05:18 |
| nurow | i have to search.. | 05:18 |
| slinnky | yahyaa, what scanner model? | 05:18 |
| ntzrmtthihu777 | wxl: yeah, I'm almost certain I know what you need to do, but I would like to be sure it's the right broadcom before I point you in the wrong directions. | 05:18 |
| nurow | am i missing something? | 05:18 |
| wxl | nightdemon666: it's not quite about preferences. https://help.ubuntu.com/community/RootSudo#Graphical_sudo | 05:18 |

| ntzrmtthihu777 | nurow: install gnome-panel and get rid of unity, lo. | 05:19 |
| wxl | ntzrmtthihu777: right, so bcm4318 :) | 05:19 |
| nurow | yeah i've been a cinnamon person, but i just thought i'd give it a try | 05:19 |
| ntzrmtthihu777 | wxl: not a clue. thats why I'm asking for the output of lspci -nn. | 05:19 |
| Lainey4214 | I can't get youtube videos to play without crashing. | 05:19 |
| nurow | my cinnamon had been bugging out on me | 05:19 |
| wxl | ntzrmtthihu777: i'll boot the thing up but it's doubtful that you'll get anything different… | 05:20 |
| slinnky | yahyaa, what's wrong? it should be detected automatically | 05:20 |
| Lainey4214 | I turned off hardware accelerator. | 05:20 |
| ntzrmtthihu777 | nurow: I tried cin. once, acted prety funky. | 05:20 |
| nightdemon666 | wxl, ah, that would be a difficult habit to break lol, thanks for showing me that :P | 05:20 |
| yahyaa | it works fine when I print, but when I try to scan it says that it can't find the scanner | 05:20 |
| martukas | pvs identifies the 'intermediate' mount produced by cryptsetup as belonging to volgroup 'xubuntu', which if I try to do anything else with (i.e. lvdisplay, vgscan, vgchange) it actually tackles my primary volumes running the OS, not the encrypted one | 05:21 |
| betrayd | lvdisplay should list the fullname of the volume members, all of them | 05:22 |
| betrayd | then you can address by that name | 05:22 |
| Lainey4214 | Can someone help me. | 05:23 |

| martukas | pvs gives me /dev/mapper/encrypto1 xubuntu lvm2 a-- 7.75g 32.00m which is correct, but if VG is 'xubuntu' then I should do lvdisplay /dev/xubuntu ? this one gives me references to my primary drive, not the one I'm after | 05:25 |

| wxl | superfreeflector: 25 apr | 05:25 |
| superfreeflector | this is worse than the xbox 1080 release! | 05:25 |
| superfreeflector | 12 more days!! NOOOO!! | 05:25 |
| superfreeflector | but thank you very much, wxl. | 05:26 |
| superfreeflector | i've been looking everywhere | 05:26 |
| wxl | superfreeflector: well not everywhere | 05:26 |
| sudoair | my ethernet connection doesn't work on a brand new installation of ubuntu | 05:26 |
| wxl | superfreeflector: case in point— | 05:26 |
| superfreeflector | i couldn't find it on the forums | 05:26 |
| wxl | superfreeflector: https://wiki.ubuntu.com/Releases | 05:26 |
| superfreeflector | oh, duh | 05:26 |
| wxl | duh indeed. | 05:26 |
| superfreeflector | i was using search indians | 05:26 |
| superfreeflector | well, I DIDN'T KNOW :((( | 05:27 |
| superfreeflector | there was a wiki | 05:27 |
| superfreeflector | i'm only 10, leave me alone | 05:27 |
| ntzrmtthihu777 | wxl: do you have an ethernet connection to use? | 05:27 |
| superfreeflector | so far, i've war-dialed 3 area codes :D | 05:27 |
| sudoair | my ethernet connection doesn't work, any tips? | 05:27 |
| ntzrmtthihu777 | superfreeflector: well congratulations on adopting ubuntu so early, I wish I knew about linux when I was your age | 05:27 |
| wxl | ntzrmtthihu777: that's the whole concept, no. but i do have the firmware and b43-fwcutter on a flsah drive, if that's what you're getting at. | 05:27 |
| superfreeflector | i found a reality BBS system while war dialing | 05:28 |
| superfreeflector | like, real estate | 05:28 |
| superfreeflector | perhaps it wasn't a real estate BBS system at all... probably a front company for the intel agencies | 05:28 |
| ntzrmtthihu777 | wxl: according to a askubuntu problem I found linux-firmware-nonfree will include what you need. | 05:28 |
| wxl | hm | 05:29 |
| superfreeflector | ok, enough tin foil hat talk. ever saw Signs movie? | 05:29 |
| ntzrmtthihu777 | wxl: same exact model as you: http://askubuntu.com/questions/171427/wireless-isnt-working-in-12-04 | 05:29 |
| superfreeflector | 12.04 is a lost cause, even 12.10 leaves it in the dust. and the 13.04 beta left 12.10 in the dust. | 05:30 |
| ntzrmtthihu777 | superfreeflector: as much as I love your enthusiasm this is a support channel. if you want to just chat check out #ubuntu-offtopic | 05:30 |

| superfreeflector | ok, and my rage quit is... KERNEL 3.8 IS AWESOME!!!! :D | 05:30 |
| ntzrmtthihu777 | wxl: not too hard, need a hand? | 05:31 |
| wxl | ntzrmtthihu777: nope found it, thankfully. now we'll see what issues we have with deps. | 05:31 |
| ntzrmtthihu777 | XD don't forget the modprobing | 05:32 |
| martukas | hey, so anyone knowledgeable about LVM, or maybe you know of a channel that may be more specialized in that sort of thing? | 05:32 |
| sudoair | can someone help me get my ethernet connection to the internet working? i'm using a fresh install of ubuntu and its not working | 05:32 |
| ntzrmtthihu777 | sudoair: lspci -nn should give you a clue. | 05:33 |
| sudoair | what kind of clue? | 05:33 |
| wxl | sudoair: a good one. | 05:33 |
| sudoair | i see my ethernet controller | 05:34 |
| sudoair | REaltek Semiconductor Gigabit Ethernet controller (rev 06) | 05:34 |
| ntzrmtthihu777 | sudoair: identifying names. google search for that, and see if you don't find exactly what you need | 05:34 |
| Vivekananda | hey everyone a question. What does -- exec $SHELL -l mean ? | 05:35 |
| Vivekananda | when I type it in ubuntu on cli | 05:35 |
| wxl | ntzrmtthihu777: you rock. i'll make sure to edit the wiki. | 05:37 |
| guest-YdKMtw | Hi, Igo | 05:37 |
| guest-YdKMtw | t got this issue' | 05:37 |
| ntzrmtthihu777 | wxl: what wiki? | 05:37 |
| guest-YdKMtw | I couldn't login to my account | 05:38 |
| ntzrmtthihu777 | and thank yah, I try :D | 05:38 |
| guest-YdKMtw | with my password | 05:38 |
| wxl | ntzrmtthihu777: the b43 wiki. it fails to mention that possibility, though it does suggest to grab b43-fwcutter and the firmware. having the firmware in a package is a HUGE improvement as i had to hunt down the most recent firmware and the way it's written, the wiki will easily go out of date. | 05:38 |
| guest-YdKMtw | when i enter the password it reopens the boot page making me enter password again | 05:39 |
| wxl | guest-YdKMtw: probably wrong password, honestly. you can try to hit ctrl-alt-f1 and see if you can login there. if not, then it's probably your password. btw, you can get back to where you were with ctrl-alt-f7 | 05:40 |
| betrayd | martukas: are you sure it's not /dev/mapper/xubuntu or something | 05:40 |
| ntzrmtthihu777 | wxl: ah, gotcha. edit away, and I hope you do well | 05:40 |
| wxl | Vivekananda: http://www.basiclinuxcommand.com/linux-command/exec.html | 05:41 |
| guest-YdKMtw | if i give wrong password it sows | 05:41 |
| martukas | no I had cryptsetup put it exactly there, thats why the name is so weird :) | 05:41 |
| guest-YdKMtw | shows that | 05:41 |
| psamim1 | Hi everyone, How can I install a newer version of curl on my ubuntu 12.04 precise? Thanks. | 05:41 |
| wxl | guest-YdKMtw: so try logging in via the virtual terminal with ctrl-alt-f1. let's make sure, first. | 05:41 |
| mac | hy, people... i downloaded one archive with CR OS LINUX I686-2.4.1290.raw .. raw? what to do? | 05:42 |
| sudoair | alright heres whats fucked up, 64bit version of linux makes my ethernet not work | 05:42 |
| sudoair | but 32bit version works | 05:42 |
| mac | hy, people... i downloaded one archive with name "CR OS LINUX I686-2.4.1290.raw" .. raw? what to do? | 05:42 |
| sudoair | WHYyYyy | 05:43 |
| psamim1 | Hi everyone, How can I install a newer version of curl on my ubuntu 12.04 precise? Thanks. | 05:43 |
| guest-YdKMtw | I could see the terminal wxl | 05:43 |
| wxl | psamim1: just download it and put it in ~/bin until ubuntu ocmes out with a new version. | 05:44 |
| mac | !curl | 05:44 |
| wxl | guest-YdKMtw: what version are you using? | 05:44 |
| guest-YdKMtw | when i give user and password | 05:44 |
| guest-YdKMtw | 12.04 wxl | 05:44 |
| mac | WXL? | 05:44 |
| psamim1 | wxl: thanks for reply! so you mean I cannot use another version! hm? | 05:45 |
| guest-YdKMtw | naa his nickname i mentioned | 05:45 |
| wxl | psamim1: you have to go through a lot of trickery to use older/newer versions. so just install it local in the interim. or find a ppa if you feel you can trust that. | 05:46 |
| wxl | guest-YdKMtw: did it used to work before? or is this a new install? | 05:46 |
| ntzrmtthihu777 | mac: run file CR yada yada and it will give you a clue | 05:46 |
| guest-YdKMtw | till yesterday at office i was working | 05:46 |
| wxl | guest-YdKMtw: have you done any updates? | 05:47 |
| mac | tnx.. i go google this.. | 05:47 |
| guest-YdKMtw | in guest session too i cant give that password | 05:47 |
| guest-YdKMtw | no updates | 05:47 |
| wxl | omg don't go google yada yada that won't help | 05:47 |
| mac | no? | 05:48 |
| wxl | guest-YdKMtw: ok, here's a thought, then: maybe try some updates. you can do this in that virtual terminal. | 05:48 |
| wxl | mac: um, no. | 05:48 |
| mac | any other idea? | 05:48 |
| mac | maybe? | 05:48 |
| wxl | mac: do what he said. run the file. | 05:48 |
| guest-YdKMtw | But even for updates it asks for password, don't you think wxl | 05:49 |
| mac | ok, i will go goolgle it how :) | 05:49 |
| sect0r | anyone recommend a good clipboard manager? | 05:49 |
| wxl | guest-YdKMtw: yes but your problem is lightdm or something, not your password. we figured thta out. | 05:49 |
| wxl | mac: double click on it! | 05:49 |
| wxl | sect0r: i like clipit. | 05:49 |
| guest-YdKMtw | if it doesn't take password it won't update right | 05:49 |
| sect0r | i'll check it out thanks | 05:50 |
| mac | unpackit first, right? out of tar.gz | 05:50 |
| wxl | guest-YdKMtw: the virtual terminal liked it, right? | 05:50 |
| ntzrmtthihu777 | mac: I though you said it was .raw | 05:50 |
| wxl | mac: yep | 05:50 |
| * wxl facepalms | 05:50 | |
| mac | yes, it is... inside | 05:50 |
| guest-YdKMtw | yes wxl | 05:50 |
| wxl | guest-YdKMtw: so once you're inside the terminal, you can run updates happily with your password | 05:51 |
| mac | open with shotwell?? | 05:51 |
| wxl | mac: try it | 05:51 |
| betrayd | ah I see it mistook RAW for a photo/camera shot | 05:52 |
| betrayd | thats why it wants to open in shotwell | 05:52 |
| mac | wtf is raw? | 05:52 |
| betrayd | those hi -rez photos | 05:52 |
| wxl | mac: maybe more importantly, wtf is this darn file you're messning with? | 05:52 |

| mac | i gues it is another fail.. | 05:54 |
| wilee-nilee | wxl, There is no arguement this is a family channel we just ask you respect that, ;) | 05:55 |
| betrayd | mac so you probably double-click and 'Use another application to run this file' | 05:55 |
| betrayd | and make it point to your oracle vm thing | 05:55 |
| mac | ok.. with what? | 05:55 |
| dodo3773 | mac: What's the problem you're having? | 05:55 |
| wxl | oracles vm is called virtualbox. do you have it installed, mac? | 05:55 |
| mac | yes.. | 05:55 |
| wxl | mac: and furthermore, raw is not a filetype virtualbox understands, typically. | 05:56 |
| mac | aha.. | 05:56 |
| mac | crap | 05:56 |
| dodo3773 | mac: Which download did you do? Link | 05:56 |

| ntzrmtthihu777 | wxl: info on yash, if you don't mind? I run irssi inside of screen, so it happens to me at times. | 06:02 |
| wxl | dodo3773: but, no, typically no irc server is going to do it ofr you. | 06:02 |

| dodo3773 | jason552: do you have ndiswrapper installed? | 06:06 |
| dodo3773 | wxl: it may say somewhere though. Better than wasting the bandwidth | 06:07 |

| jason552 | dodo3773: It says hardware present: but I can't go further. | 06:13 |
| dodo3773 | jason552: Not sure. I don't have an aweful lot of experience with ndiswrapper. You loaded the module and plugged in your device and that's when you came across this error? | 06:14 |
| robk | I was in the process of setting up pam.d w/ ldap on a machine I'm playing around with. I can no longer log into the machine. When i go into recovery mode on ubuntu and type in the original username, it just kicks me out of the prompt and back into login. | 06:14 |
| jason552 | dodo3773: yes | 06:14 |
| robk | how would I go about reconfiguring the root password? I originally never set one since I did everything from sudo, that was a mistake. | 06:15 |
| dodo3773 | mac: almost done downloading it. will try to see if the builds are 32 or 64 | 06:15 |

| jason552 | dodo3773: yes | 06:16 |
| dodo3773 | jason552: So you've got the driver (windows driver gets shoved into ndiswrapper?) | 06:17 |
| jason552 | dodo3773: yes | 06:18 |
| jason552 | dodo3773: ndisgtk that is | 06:18 |
| dodo3773 | jason552: Okay so you pointed ndisktk to the windows driver file and it installed it? | 06:21 |
| dodo3773 | jason552: Maybe the card has to be pulled out and plugged back in and / or the module reloaded or something? | 06:22 |

| mac-less-happy | eee... while i am at that subject... | 06:47 |

| raju | vsum, scripting | 06:48 |
| raju | contrapunctus, in Ubuntu | 06:48 |
| dodo3773 | raju: Then it doesn't matter really. You can decide whatever shell you want your scripts to run with in the shebang line at the top | 06:49 |
| vsum | raju: scripting for what purpose ? general admin ? or seriuos programming ? | 06:49 |
| === mac-less-happy is now known as mac | ||
| raju | vsum, I am learning it with some programming language , you can consider me as a medium level programmer . | 06:49 |

| dodo3773 | ayu_: hey | 06:50 |
| raju | vsum, my friend what do you suggest for admin too ? | 06:50 |
| vsum | bash is widely used , so I would suggest to start with . | 06:50 |
| histo | raju: bash is more widely used | 06:51 |
| dodo3773 | raju: My suggestion was for a user shell. Like if you pretty much live in the shell sort of thing. | 06:51 |
| Betanu701 | How can I get a script run at startup and shutdown. I have already added it to /etc/init.d and did update-rc.d still won't run | 06:51 |
| dodo3773 | raju: will the scripts be run on a linux system? | 06:51 |
| raju | vsum, ok cool . you mean bash for both (admin,programmer ) | 06:51 |
| rawrish | anyone care to answer a random off the wall question, but related to those that are of intelligence ? | 06:51 |
| raju | histo, yeah usually and the default shell is bash only but i have gone through the name of ksh today . | 06:52 |
| dodo3773 | Betanu701: Is it an init script? | 06:52 |
| raju | dodo3773, yes in a Ubuntu Linux machine | 06:52 |
| raju | rawrish, ask it , we give our best. | 06:52 |
| helmut_ | hi | 06:53 |
| Betanu701 | dodo3773: It is a .sh script, basically running rsync to my computers | 06:53 |
| histo | Betanu701: if it's not an init script try /etc/rc.local | 06:53 |
| histo | Betanu701: Do you want it to just run on startup or on a time based interval? | 06:53 |
| rawrish | raja alright…so I'm on the search for a forum or channel of intellectuals, something or a place that people discuss ideas that push the norm of what is acceptable ideology | 06:53 |
| rawrish | be it philosophy or science | 06:53 |
| rawrish | weird i know... | 06:53 |
| rawrish | but i can't write a #bash script for this lol | 06:53 |

| ubottu | rawrish: alis is a services bot that can help you find channels. Read "/msg alis help list" for help and ask any questions about it in #freenode. Example usage: /msg alis list #ubuntu* or /msg alis list *http* | 06:54 |
| Betanu701 | hist: I want it to run at start up and when I shutdown. | 06:54 |
| dodo3773 | Betanu701: If it's not an init script then don't put it in *init* directory. Could be very problematic for you. /etc/rc.local is where that stuff goes like histo said | 06:54 |
| dodo3773 | Betanu701: From there you can call your script externally if you need to | 06:55 |
| Betanu701 | How would I go about calling it externally? | 06:55 |
| dodo3773 | Betanu701: or if it isn't too complex just add it there | 06:55 |
| histo | Betanu701: Betanu701 you could use upstart to call it on shutdown and startup also | 06:55 |
| histo | Betanu701: https://synapse.wordpress.com/2007/03/24/run-a-script-on-startup-shutdown-in-linux/ | 06:56 |
| dodo3773 | Betanu701: Seriously. I've had to chroot in and fix systems because they wouldn't boot because of bad hand made init scripts in the past | 06:56 |
| Betanu701 | dodo3773: Oh I have had to do that alot. lol | 06:57 |
| histo | Betanu701: I would suggest using cron though to avoid the problems like dodo3773 is describing | 06:57 |
| dodo3773 | Betanu701: Externally? Like putting a script within a script. just put the /path/to/your/script.sh make sure you don't do ~/script.sh or $HOME/script.sh go like /home/username/script.sh instead | 06:58 |
| Betanu701 | I attempted cron, problem is I do not want this computer (the main database) | 06:58 |
| Betanu701 | on all the time | 06:58 |

| mac | dodo3773, thank u.. again | 06:59 |

| raju | histo, I mean how my shell behaves | 07:07 |
| wilee-nilee | lonejack, Why would you want to, what is your goal here? | 07:07 |
| raju | histo, nothing is there in the directory , its just example.desktop | 07:07 |
| Betanu701 | Histo: I keep getting this I will call it an error System start/stop links for /etc/init.d/backup.sh already exist. | 07:07 |
| histo | raju: there is a .profile in /etc/skel | 07:07 |
| raju | wilee-nilee, hey | 07:07 |
| wilee-nilee | hey | 07:07 |
| raju | histo, I cant see anything here. | 07:08 |
| histo | Betanu701: aparently there is already a job for that script | 07:08 |
| histo | raju: ls -a /etc/skel/ | 07:08 |
| raju | histo, aah! I understand now . hidden file. | 07:08 |
| histo | raju: or just cp /etc/skel/.profile ~ && chown raju:raju ~/.profile | 07:09 |
| Betanu701 | but there is nothing that shows up in any of the rc* | 07:09 |
| histo | Betanu701: well remove the job first | 07:09 |
| lonejack | wilee-nilee, to clean the house. The sping is near(at least in europe)... | 07:10 |
| raju | histo, got it & so every time we modify the .bashrc and .profile of home user , are these files will be updated automatically or they just stood to default | 07:11 |
| wilee-nilee | lonejack, To be honest that makes no sense. unity is a plugin in compiz running on top of gnome, I would not touch them. If you want to remove or exchange full desktops there is a website with correct lists to do so. See playing around in this link. http://www.psychocats.net/ubuntu/ | 07:12 |
| histo | raju: those are default skeleton files that are copied to a home directory when a user is created | 07:12 |
| tozen | hi all where is mc config now? there is nothing in to ~/.mc | 07:13 |
| raju | so they wont update right ? | 07:13 |
| raju | histo, cool friend . | 07:13 |
| histo | raju: right they will not update. You can make changes to the skeleton files and then any new user added would get the new files | 07:14 |
| lonejack | wilee-nilee, I was not aware about that. I'll not touch anything. Thank you | 07:14 |

| chunkyhead | guys, what's ubuntu git? | 07:38 |
| auronandace | !git | chunkyhead | 07:38 |
| ubottu | chunkyhead: git is a distributed revision control/software code management project created by Linus Torvalds. For more information, see http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Git_(software) | 07:38 |
| truexfan81 | there is a guy in #debian asking if the AMD A10-5800k APU drivers are included in the latest ubuntu | 07:39 |
| guy555 | wilee-nilee: do you want me to paste the error log from the failed update? | 07:39 |
| wilee-nilee | guy555, sure. | 07:39 |
| chunkyhead | does it come preinstalled or we have to install it auronandace | 07:40 |
| guy555 | wilee-nilee: http://pastebin.com/bVDuNXzd | 07:40 |
| amit` | truexfan81: That was me. It seems like there is no true support yet but drivers have to be compiled from sources. | 07:40 |
| truexfan81 | ^ | 07:41 |
| truexfan81 | amit`: imo the hardest part of compiling is getting all the necessary dependencies to get a successful compile, once you have those its pretty easy, so maybe these guys can tell you what deps you will need | 07:43 |
| wilee-nilee | guy555, Not sure honestly, why do you have this ppa, ppa's can be unstable. I have never had a problem, however i'm careful what I add to my sources.lists | 07:43 |
| amit` | truexfan81: The driver asked for fglrx or something similar. | 07:43 |
| === patr|ck_ is now known as patr|ck | ||
| Aaron | That's why you always check the ppa status of the package, | 07:44 |
| guy555 | wilee-nilee: well, it was a long story of troubleshooting sound problems, i thought that ppa was ok though, never had any problems until this one, and it's the only one i've added right now | 07:45 |
| truexfan81 | amit`: is it wanting the actual fglrx? or the -dev package? sorry i can't really help, i've always used nvidia with linux | 07:46 |
| wilee-nilee | guy555, I see people on the channel with sound problems on occasion, I can't really give you a definitive answer, maybe others can. ;) | 07:46 |
| amit` | truexfan81: Yes, it is asking for fglrx, which is a dependency. | 07:46 |

| guy555 | wilee-nilee ok thanks, i think that it won't install because it is looking for my system arch to be i686 when it probably shows up as i386 | 07:47 |

| K3T4M1NE | Well. I decided to do an ubuntu minimal install. I partitioned the drives as follows: 72GB /home encrypted, 4GB swap encrypted, and a 10GB / partition that I flagged as bootable as I was having grub install issues. So I did the partitions like that and told grub to install to the / partition. Everything seemed to go swimmingly. I rebooted and told rEFInd to boot into linux and all I seen was GRUB GRUB GRUB GRUB | 08:49 |

| zheoffec | K3T4M1NE: what did you put? | 08:50 |

| wickedpuppy | btw 10 gb for / is pretty small .... after all it will have everything besides /home | 08:51 |
| zheoffec | I think when running grub-install, you should use the device, not the partition | 08:51 |
| zheoffec | eg. /dev/sda, not /dev/sdax | 08:52 |
| zheoffec | x == int | 08:52 |

| chunkyhead | this folder as in current folder right? | 08:54 |
| K3T4M1NE | zvacet, I tried that. rEFInd has no refresh that i aware of so I made a bootable rEFIt cd and synched the partitiong and it did not work | 08:54 |

| delocaz | richwn: No, it did not help | 08:59 |
| delocaz | nomodeset, that is | 08:59 |
| K3T4M1NE | zheoffec, no i assumed i could use the PC one as it is an intel mac. Does this version come in ubuntu minimal? | 08:59 |
| delocaz | K3T4M1NE: If it is an intel mac, the normal should work, but yes, there's a PPC mnii | 09:00 |

| K3T4M1NE | delocaz, kind of at a loss as to why my grub is screwed up =\ | 09:01 |
| zheoffec | K3T4M1NE: it doesnt seem so, why cant you use the default installer? | 09:01 |
| K3T4M1NE | zheoffec, dont care for the bloat or lovely amazon garbage | 09:01 |
| zvacet | zheoffec: I think PC(Intel x86) desktop image is right choice for K3T4M1NE | 09:01 |
| zheoffec | K3T4M1NE: so use the Server version | 09:01 |
| zheoffec | or install arch ;) | 09:01 |
| K3T4M1NE | zheoffec, already installed arch, i liked it but i needed something that might support vga switching | 09:01 |
| delocaz | K3T4M1NE: That's why there is Kubuntu, Xubuntu and Lubuntu | 09:02 |

| zvacet | zheoffec: tnx for info :) | 09:03 |
| Arun_ | so smartcam doesn't work in quantal ? | 09:03 |
| K3T4M1NE | So is the general suggestion to reinstall instead of trying to fix the bootloader issue? | 09:03 |
| zheoffec | Arun_: see http://ubuntuforums.org/showthread.php?t=970777 | 09:04 |
| Arun_ | i tried but doesn't work | 09:04 |
| histo | !derivatives | K3T4M1NE | 09:04 |
| ubottu | K3T4M1NE: There are some Ubuntu derivatives that we cannot provide support for due to repository and software changes. Please consult their websites for more information. Examples: gNewSense (support in #gnewsense), Linux Mint (see !mint), LinuxMCE (support in #linuxmce), CrunchBang (support in #crunchbang), BackTrack (support in #backtrack-linux) | 09:04 |
| Arun_ | it give lots of problems | 09:05 |
| histo | !notunity | delocaz K3T4M1NE | 09:05 |
| ubottu | delocaz K3T4M1NE: Ubuntu 11.10 and higher use the !Unity desktop environment by default. To use GNOME Shell instead, install the "gnome-shell" package and investigate "gnome-tweak-tool". For GNOME Fallback mode, which is similar to GNOME 2, install "gnome-panel". Both packages will place entries in the Sessions dropdown. | 09:05 |
| K3T4M1NE | histo, not seeing ubunut minimal in that list but alright | 09:05 |

| MonkeyDust | Arun_ by now you should have understood, that you won't find any help in this channel | 09:23 |

| ubottu | greg_: If you install a development version of Ubuntu Raring and keep up with package updates, then you will be upgraded to the official release of 13.04 when it comes out. To make sure, type « sudo apt-get update && sudo apt-get dist-upgrade » in a terminal. | 09:44 |

| Effective | guys how do I keep all the data I have on windows even after I install ubuntu | 10:25 |
| Effective | and I don't want dual boot | 10:25 |
| Effective | only ubuntu | 10:25 |
| The_Cog | Effective: Back it up to an external USB drive first? | 10:25 |
| Effective | but will I be able to restore it all ? | 10:26 |
| Effective | of course I shouldn't do the windows backup thing,but actually a manual backup in which I choose the files I want to keep | 10:26 |
| The_Cog | Effective: Yes. Linux can read FAT and NTFS partitions. And yes, copy the files, not windows backup. | 10:27 |

| The_Cog | Effective: Of more concern is does Linux have apps that can read the files - proprietart data formats etc. | 10:27 |
| kutulal | Need help on ftpmail! I tried to send 'help' to ftpmail@sunsite.unc.edu but the delivery failed, saying Domain name not foundCan anyone help? | 10:28 |

| The_Cog | pecc: First, make sure you know the right device designations for the two disks. Use "sudo fdisk -l" to list the attached drives | 11:29 |
| bekks | pecc: Booting of a livecd will not help you to guess the bios password. | 11:30 |
| histo | pecc: dd if=/path/to/ubuntu.iso of=/dev/sdx#(dev of sdcard) | 11:30 |
| bekks | pecc: You should search for master passwords or things like that instead. | 11:30 |

| BluesKaj | Guest72499, wubi ? | 11:33 |

| bekks | pecc: Do you have any other bootable CDs, to check wether your laptop even boots off a CD? | 11:33 |
| Guest72499 | Bluees, yes | 11:33 |
| TomyLobo | that makes even *finding* the mainboard kinda hard | 11:34 |
| BluesKaj | !wubi | Guest72499 | 11:34 |
| ubottu | Guest72499: Wubi is an Ubuntu installer for Windows users that allows you to install and uninstall Ubuntu like a Windows application, in a simple and safe way. http://wubi-installer.org/support.php and https://wiki.ubuntu.com/WubiGuide for troubleshooting. Please file bugs at http://launchpad.net/wubi/+filebug. For Ubuntu Oneiric/11.10 http://releases.ubuntu.com/oneiric/wubi.exe | 11:34 |

| [gnubie] | guys, kindly check http://pastie.org/7514149 | 11:35 |
| cfhowlett | Guest72499, wubi is on the way out, no longer to be supported. | 11:35 |

| [gnubie] | azbarcea: more info at http://pastie.org/7514149 | 11:35 |
| bekks | pecc: Dont you have any other bootable CDs? A plain old windows cd would do the job too. | 11:35 |
| [gnubie] | azbarcea: yes, i can access my server using the root user having the same ssh public key. | 11:36 |
| Guest72499 | ok got it, so u suggest making "normal install" ? | 11:36 |
| [gnubie] | azbarcea: of course, i have to set PermitRootLogin to yes first and just comment the AllowUsers line before I can login using the root user | 11:37 |
| BluesKaj | [gnubie], some detail along with your posts would be helpful , so we don't waste our time on issues we have bo knowledge about | 11:37 |
| pecc | Ben64: I'd gladly try that but if I could just copy my current Live CD onto the other device it'd be much easier since the one existing Live CD is my only way of running Ubuntu atm (laptop doesn't have hard drive) | 11:37 |
| dappe | Heya, just installed Linux Lite, and having some problems with flash it crashes, and VLC crashes aswell. Anybody got any suggestions on what i can do? Tried reinstalling flash but didnt work | 11:37 |

| [gnubie] | BluesKaj: what details you need? | 11:37 |
| bekks | [gnubie]: The AllowedUsers line is not necessary. :P | 11:37 |
| BluesKaj | too late [gnubie] | 11:38 |
| bekks | dappe: Then please seek the Linux Lite support - this is Ubuntu support only :) | 11:38 |
| dappe | Hm, where can i find that? | 11:38 |
| histo | pecc: removing the battery or resetting the bios via jumper is the safest method for resetting the password. | 11:38 |
| [gnubie] | bekks: afaik, it is for me because i want to restrict only to gnubie user | 11:38 |
| bekks | dappe: I never used Linux Live, I have no clue about that. | 11:38 |
| dappe | Its built on ubuntu i belive | 11:38 |

| bekks | dappe: But its not an official derivate. | 11:39 |
| pecc | jrib: I'm not sure if I dare, it's my mother's laptop and I'm not certain what such a reset could entail | 11:39 |
| [gnubie] | BluesKaj: what do you mean by too late? i already posted http://pastie.org/7513453 a while ago | 11:39 |
| [gnubie] | BluesKaj: and posted this => http://pastie.org/7514149 | 11:40 |
| jrib | pecc: google "model reset cmos" | 11:40 |
| pecc | histo: the BIOS password is almost certainly the original/reset one | 11:40 |
| [gnubie] | any idea what's in ubuntu that prevents me from ssh'ing using an ordinary user? | 11:41 |
| azbarcea | [gnubie]: what is your command when you connect with root, but with your gnubie user? | 11:41 |
| jrib | [gnubie]: nothing | 11:41 |
| bekks | [gnubie]: Some misconfiguration by the user that set up that box. | 11:42 |
| histo | pecc: Manufacturers do not include a bios password by default | 11:42 |
| [gnubie] | is there such thing like selinux or something else in ubuntu that do this permission issue? | 11:42 |
| jrib | [gnubie]: not by default. | 11:42 |

| azbarcea | [gnubie]: what is the permission for ls -al /home/gnubie/.ssh | 11:42 |
| [gnubie] | azbarcea: ssh -vvv root@host.example.com and ssh -vvv gnubie@host.example.com | 11:42 |
| [gnubie] | azbarcea: it's at http://pastie.org/7514149 | 11:43 |
| azbarcea | [gnubie]: I saw that | 11:43 |
| azbarcea | but for all files in .ssh folder | 11:43 |
| pecc | histo: there is a BIOS password and my mother hasn't ever accessed BIOS and she's the first owner... | 11:43 |
| bekks | [gnubie]: Why is ~/.ssh/ owned by gnubie:root ? | 11:43 |
| bekks | pecc: Then call the HP support. | 11:43 |
| bekks | azbarcea: He posted both. | 11:43 |
| azbarcea | put 600 for all chmod -R 600 .ssh | 11:43 |
| pecc | bekks: I think I will, though I'd like to make a copy of my Live CD anyways | 11:44 |
| histo | pecc: What is your question? | 11:44 |
| jrib | azbarcea: that would make it inaccessible to everyone, no? | 11:44 |
| azbarcea | [gnubie]: you posted with "ls -ld", I want ls -al | 11:44 |
| histo | [gnubie]: disable key based auth and create a key and use ssh-copy-id to move it to the server. then enable key based auth and be done | 11:44 |
| azbarcea | 600 is accessible only for your user ... | 11:45 |
| jrib | azbarcea: not for a directory | 11:45 |
| jrib | azbarcea: well for the contents anyway | 11:45 |
| azbarcea | 640 (like it is now), is accessible for group too | 11:45 |
| bekks | azbarcea: Which will not show you any valuable information not already provided. | 11:45 |
| jrib | azbarcea: .ssh is 750 according to the pastebin | 11:45 |
| azbarcea | yes! that's the problem ... | 11:46 |
| jrib | no | 11:46 |
| bekks | azbarcea: It isnt. | 11:46 |
| jrib | I would start the server in debug mode and check output (sudo /usr/sbin/sshd -d) | 11:46 |
| azbarcea | the rights for the files within .ssh I'm interested in, and not the folder! | 11:46 |
| jrib | azbarcea: ok, but the command you gave also changes permissions on .ssh | 11:47 |

| jakey1 | hi, how do you make a page directly to paste bin from command line of an intenet page or a screen shot | 12:08 |
| OerHeks | !patebinit | 12:08 |
| histo | !paste | jakey1 | 12:08 |
| ubottu | jakey1: For posting multi-line texts into the channel, please use http://paste.ubuntu.com | To post !screenshots use http://imagebin.org/?page=add | !pastebinit to paste directly from command line | Make sure you give us the URL for your paste - see also the channel topic. | 12:08 |
| OerHeks | !pastebinit | 12:08 |
| ubottu | pastebinit is the command-line equivalent of !pastebin - Command output, or other text can be redirected to pastebinit, which then reports an URL containing the output - To use pastebinit, install the « pastebinit » package from a package manager - Simple usage: command | pastebinit -b http://paste.ubuntu.com | 12:08 |

| DylanCl | ...relevant for me | 12:22 |
| === themill_ is now known as themill | ||
| DylanCl | And on windows there are a ton of programs that you can stream with | 12:22 |
| bekks | jakey1: yourcommand | pastebinit | 12:22 |
| histo | DylanCl: with a third party streaming service. perhaps you should ask the service provider how to stream with them. | 12:22 |
| jakey1 | say I want a specific web page | 12:22 |
| DylanCl | Histo, the only program that streamed is now inactive. | 12:23 |
| jakey1 | or I have a .jpoeg file to send to paste binit | 12:23 |
| histo | DylanCl: huh? | 12:23 |
| bekks | jakey1: pastebinit puts the output of a command into a pastebin and gives you the URL. | 12:23 |
| bekks | jakey1: For pictures, you need an image hoster. | 12:24 |
| DylanCl | http://ubuntuone.com/5jdJklv0V49IRhM8sCUFD7 | 12:24 |
| DylanCl | I tried that one but I want to add some things and I don't know how to work with bash stuff :/ | 12:24 |
| jakey1 | bekks, so for example www.foo.com | pastebinit | 12:25 |
| histo | DylanCl: you need to ask the twitch.tv people how to interact with their service. Has nothing to do with ubuntu | 12:25 |
| bekks | jakey1: No. | 12:25 |
| DylanCl | The link with a script in it has to do with ubuntu | 12:25 |
| bekks | jakey1: www.whatever.com is not a command on your host. It is an URL. | 12:26 |
| histo | DylanCl: no that is using ffmpeg to stream to justin.tv | 12:26 |
| jakey1 | How do I send that link to pastebinit | 12:26 |
| bekks | jakey1: If you want to share a picture, just give us the URL instead of trying to include a picture into a text-only pastebin. | 12:26 |
| jakey1 | bekks, maybe it was imagebin then | 12:27 |
| bekks | jakey1: A pastebin is text-only. You cant send pictures to it. You need an image hoster and you can provide the image URL to us. | 12:27 |
| DylanCl | I'm asking for a line of code in a .sh script. That's related to ubuntu | 12:27 |
| histo | jakey1: you can't send webpages to pastebin it's text only | 12:28 |
| jakey1 | whats the one for pictures | 12:28 |
| jakey1 | imagebin | 12:28 |

| histo | [gnubie]: also your authrozied key file is wrong as it has key root@whateverhost instead of key gnubie@whateverhost | 12:49 |
| [gnubie] | histo: they're the same. | 12:49 |
| histo | [gnubie]: disable key based login and use password login. Generate a key on your client and use ssh-copy-id to copy it to the server. Make sure it works then enable key only login. | 12:49 |
| no_gravity | pecc: no. let me try... | 12:50 |
| histo | [gnubie]: I know that the problem | 12:50 |
| histo | ffs | 12:50 |
| histo | [gnubie]: they shouldn't be the same | 12:50 |
| bekks | The authorized_keys file on the server should not contain any @yourserver lines. It should contain a user@client line | 12:50 |

| DylanCl | Whenever I run that streaming script I want it to show those lines(if that's possible) | 12:51 |
| histo | bekks: right his user authorized_keys contains KEY.... ROOT@CLIENT instead of KEY..... USER@CLIENT I don't knwo how else to explain to him that it shouldn'tb e the same as root's authorized_keys | 12:51 |
| [gnubie] | histo and bekks: isn't it that the authorized_keys file is actually whatever the contents of id_rsa.pub file? | 12:51 |
| histo | DylanCl: ask ifn #ffmpeg it's not possible as far as I know. | 12:52 |
| bekks | [gnubie]: Yes, of your client, not your server. | 12:52 |
| [gnubie] | histo: kindly check line 15 of http://pastie.org/7514149 | 12:52 |

| [gnubie] | histo: simply because, i created the /root/.ssh/authorized_keys and /home/gnubie/.ssh/authorized_keys files which contents coming from my id_rsa.pub which is also the same ssh public key file on my non-ubuntu servers. | 12:57 |
| histo | [gnubie]: because your files are wrong. if your root's authorized_keys file has gnubie@example.com | 12:58 |
| [gnubie] | bekks: once the ordinary user can access already, i will remove root's access and the /root/.ssh recursively. | 12:59 |
| histo | [gnubie]: if you want to keep screwing around go ahead but i've told you how to fix it and copy the keys the proper way from the client with ssh-copy-id | 12:59 |

| vlt | szekelya: The 32 bit version should run on everything. | 13:04 |
| bekks | szekelya: You need to know which CPU it is. | 13:04 |
| Asterfield | Is it possible to simulate a Fn key press with a keyboard that has no Fn key? | 13:04 |
| Rarrikins | If /tmp isn't writeable and I reboot, will SSH access still work? | 13:04 |
| [gnubie] | bekks: i'm not ignoring you. i am just puzzled here. why in non-ubuntu works in the same way i try to do it here in ubuntu precise? | 13:04 |
| szekelya | AMD Brazos Dual Core E450 | 13:04 |
| [gnubie] | szekelya: if you don't have 4gb ram, just use 32bit | 13:04 |
| bekks | [gnubie]: Using that wrong configuration, it will not work on any host OS. | 13:04 |
| szekelya | exactly 4gb | 13:04 |
| bekks | szekelya: if your CPU supports 64bit, use 64bit. | 13:05 |
| [gnubie] | bekks: but again, it works in non-ubuntu. | 13:05 |
| [gnubie] | bekks: please, don't argue with it. | 13:05 |
| histo | [gnubie]: the problem is your authorized_keys files on the ubuntu server. | 13:05 |
| bekks | [gnubie]: I will not argue, I will ignore you, since you are ignoring us. | 13:05 |
| francesco_ | mint with mate or cinnamon? Or Chakra linux? :) | 13:06 |
| bekks | francesco_: Ubuntu. | 13:06 |
| cfhowlett | francesco_, none of which are supported here. ubuntu | 13:06 |
| francesco_ | thx.. (excue me for the of topic.. :P) | 13:06 |
| DylanCl | What is the best program to record videos besides recordmydesktop? | 13:06 |
| Asterfield | "re-map" the Fn key to right Ctrl or something perhaps? | 13:06 |
| [gnubie] | is "id_rsa.pub == authorized_keys" ? | 13:06 |
| histo | DylanCl: ffmpeg | 13:06 |
| bekks | [gnubie]: No. | 13:07 |
| histo | [gnubie]: not your jacked up ones | 13:07 |
| DylanCl | And with ffmpeg you can record and upload to youtube? | 13:07 |
| DJones | francesco_: None of those are supported versions of Ubuntu, you'll need to ask in the appropriate channels for advice on those | 13:07 |
| Asterfield | DylanCl: recordmydesktop vidoes are uploadable to youtube | 13:07 |
| bekks | [gnubie]: The authorized_keys on the server has to contain the public key of the client - as you have been told multiple times. | 13:07 |
| histo | [gnubie]: with the proper user@client | 13:07 |
| DylanCl | Well, for whatever reason, when I record wwith recordmydesktop my footage speeds up like, 10 times | 13:08 |
| histo | I'm out good luck [gnubie] | 13:09 |
| Asterfield | DylanCl: I might be wrong, but I'm pretty sure you can lock the framerate | 13:09 |
| DylanCl | I have it set to 50 frames per seconds | 13:09 |
| Asterfield | DylanCl: With the --fps N option? | 13:09 |
| DylanCl | What do you mean? | 13:10 |
| snuggl | DylanCl: the easiest way would be to open a black fullscreen window below it | 13:10 |
| snuggl | DylanCl: and run the game witout window borders | 13:10 |
| subman | I'm still stuck on the purple screen of death here | 13:10 |
| Asterfield | $ man recordmydesktop: "Image options" "--fps N(number>0.0) "A positive number denoting desired framerate" | 13:11 |
| [gnubie] | bekks: isn't it that the ssh public key is the one that is generated as id_rsa.pub file? | 13:11 |
| Rarrikins | If /tmp isn't writeable and I reboot, will I still be able to log in remotely via SSH? | 13:11 |
| Asterfield | DylanCl: ^^ :P | 13:11 |
| bekks | [gnubie]: Yes. | 13:11 |
| [gnubie] | afaik, the client don't actually need the id_rsa.pub. what is required on the client side is the id_rsa or the public key. | 13:11 |
| bekks | [gnubie]: The client needs the public key, since its the public key that identifies the client on the server. | 13:12 |
| [gnubie] | on the server side, the contents of the id_rsa.pub should be on the authorized_keys. if the username allows multiple users to use it, the contents of the authorized_keys will have more than one line of different id_rsa.pub | 13:13 |
| [gnubie] | bekks: not the private key? | 13:13 |
| [gnubie] | bekks: whatever it is, my client comes both the id_rsa and id_rsa.pub | 13:13 |
| bekks | [gnubie]: No. You have to put the public key of the client into the authorized_keys file on the server. I told you minutes ago. | 13:14 |
| * vlt did hours ago | 13:14 | |
| [gnubie] | bekks: that's the same way i did already. | 13:14 |
| bekks | [gnubie]: Obviously you didnt. | 13:14 |
| snuggl | [gnubie]: are you on ubuntu as client too? | 13:14 |
| [gnubie] | bekks: how should i prove you that i did? should i send you my id_rsa.pub and authorized_keys files? | 13:15 |
| [gnubie] | snuggl: nope. i'm on mountain lion. | 13:15 |
| no_gravity | Hello! I have this problem on my notebook: Sometimes I boot, Gnome comes up and there is no network applet and no network. I reboot. The same. I reboot. I reboot. And at sometime the net suddenly works and the network applet is there. Any ideas how to go about this? What would you do, when the machine is booted and there is no network applet? | 13:15 |
| snuggl | [gnubie]: do you have the command "ssh-copy-id" ? | 13:15 |
| snuggl | [gnubie]: if so, thats a tool to copy your id files to the remove server | 13:15 |
| snuggl | in the correct place etc. | 13:16 |
| [gnubie] | snuggl: not on mountain lion | 13:16 |
| hello_Mr123 | 13:16 | |
| mikerussel_ | pidgin sucks :( | 13:17 |
| snuggl | [gnubie]: and you are correct, the server shall have the public key and the client the private | 13:17 |
| snuggl | not the other way around | 13:17 |
| vlt | [gnubie]: Did you paste ~gnubie/.ssh/authorized_keys already? | 13:17 |
| snuggl | [gnubie]: it also needs to be chmod 700 else sshd will ignore it | 13:17 |
| === acidflash__ is now known as acidflash | ||
| snuggl | or 400 of whatever, just not world readable. | 13:18 |
| === zz_Karbowiak is now known as Karbowiak | ||
| [gnubie] | vlt: not the contents. as i've said, the contents of my /root/.ssh/authorized_keys and /home/gnubie/.ssh/authorized_keys files are the same contents of my id_rsa.pub file. kindly check line 15 of http://pastie.org/7514149 | 13:18 |
| compdoc | no_gravity, do you know how to use pastebin.com? show me the file: /etc/udev/rules.d/70-persistent-net.rules | 13:18 |
| snuggl | [gnubie]: that paste clearly show the error | 13:19 |
| snuggl | (15:16) ( snuggl) [gnubie]: it also needs to be chmod 700 else sshd will ignore it | 13:19 |
| no_gravity | compdoc: how shall i reach pastebin without internet? | 13:19 |
| [gnubie] | snuggl: you mean the authorized_key should be in 700 permission? | 13:20 |
| vlt | [gnubie]: remove world readable | 13:20 |
| Merkidemis | Can someone help me with an error? I am trying to do an apt-get update on my lucid server and get the following: W: Failed to fetch http://archive.ubuntu.com/ubuntu/dists/lucid/Release.gpg Could not connect to archive.ubuntu.com:80 (2001:67c:1360:8c01::1a). - connect (101 Network is unreachable) [IP: 2001:67c:1360:8c01::1a 80] | 13:20 |
| snuggl | [gnubie]: if its world readable sshd will ignore it | 13:20 |
| snuggl | yours is world readable | 13:20 |
| snuggl | so sshd ignores it | 13:20 |
| Merkidemis | Any thoughts? I've been working on this for a day and a half | 13:20 |
| [gnubie] | snuggl: actually, it used to be 440. i set it to 644 because i was testing it also | 13:20 |
| KatyPerryX420 | ok so i rented a ubuntu VPS and i don't have remote desktop access and need to set it up thanks for the help and i do have SSH client installed on my windows 7 pc if anybody is willing to help i have teamviewer 8 on my laptop | 13:20 |

| KatyPerryX420 | it's ubuntu 12.04 64 bit | 13:21 |

| [gnubie] | snuggl: where is the default log file for ssh connection attempts in ubuntu precise? | 13:22 |

| [gnubie] | snuggl: i'm checking. please hold on. thanks! | 13:24 |
| snuggl | [gnubie]: with ssh -vv user@host, does it even try with key auth? | 13:24 |
| snuggl | ah | 13:24 |
| snuggl | turn on verbose else and check that its actually trying with the key | 13:24 |
| snuggl | [gnubie]: your local, private key, also needs special permissions | 13:25 |

| cfhowlett | Merkidemis, try again. #ubuntu-server is an open channel ... | 13:25 |
| [gnubie] | snuggl: my client machine, the id_rsa comes with 600 file permission | 13:26 |
| Merkidemis | cfhowlett: its because I am an idoit and don't always add the leading # to channel names | 13:26 |
| [gnubie] | snuggl: i changed it just now to 400, same issue. | 13:27 |
| Foxhoundz | I can't seem to ssh into my box | 13:27 |
| vlt | snuggl: According to earlier pastebins from [gnubie] the client does try pubkey. | 13:27 |
| Foxhoundz | but I know it's running correctly | 13:27 |
| cfhowlett | Merkidemis, As far as Operator Headspace Errors go ... I've seen worse. | 13:27 |
| KatyPerryX420 | this is the version of ubuntu i have reinstalled on the VPS http://gyazo.com/a3a0460e2a5fec3f0b843ba8e582171e.png?1365945992 | 13:27 |
| Foxhoundz | I'm getting "connection refused" | 13:27 |
| yeats | Foxhoundz: how do you know SSH is running on the remote box? | 13:27 |
| Merkidemis | cfhowlett: after working at a helpdesk, so have I | 13:27 |
| Foxhoundz | yeats: Apache is accessible, a node.js app is also running fine | 13:28 |
| Foxhoundz | both attached to a screen | 13:28 |
| yeats | Foxhoundz: but do you know that SSH is running? | 13:28 |
| scotty^ | I'm running nano on Precise. When I press ^T for spellcheck I get an errror message - "Spell checking failed: Error invoking "spell": Operation not permitted". On the nano manpage I found this "If no alternative spell checker command is specified on the command line or in one of the nanorc files, nano will check the SPELL environment variable for one." | 13:29 |
| snuggl | vlt: row 7 is a bit wierd tho | 13:29 |
| scotty^ | Any ideas? | 13:29 |
| snuggl | [gnubie]: did you remove the header from the key? | 13:30 |
| Foxhoundz | yeats: I was running a session minutes before, closed putty, and decided to run it again a few minutes later | 13:30 |
| vlt | snuggl: The NEWKEYS line? | 13:30 |
| snuggl | [gnubie]: the first row if id_rsa, is it "----BEGIN STUFF----" | 13:30 |
| Foxhoundz | could this be a key issue? | 13:30 |
| compdoc | scotty^, google has hits on adding spell checkers to nano, but not sure why you would want to. gedit is pretty nice | 13:31 |
| vlt | snuggl: He says that key based root login works fram that very same client. | 13:31 |
| [gnubie] | snuggl: thanks for pointing me to /var/log/auth.log . after changing the permission of the authorized_keys to 400, the log actually says account is locked | 13:31 |
| vlt | *from | 13:31 |
| snuggl | ah | 13:31 |
| yeats | Foxhoundz: connection refused means sshd is not listening on port 22 (or is being blocked)\ | 13:31 |
| snuggl | locked account might explain it yes =) | 13:31 |
| vlt | [gnubie]: Does password login work?!? | 13:32 |
| snuggl | vlt, password auth is turned off in the conf | 13:32 |
| scotty^ | What can I say - I miss the good old days :) | 13:32 |
| snuggl | Foxhoundz: the server crashed | 13:32 |
| scotty^ | It might also come in handy one day if I cant boot into X. | 13:32 |
| KatyPerryX420 | it's online again who's willing to help me set up remote desktop from windows to ubuntu VPS have SSH set up on windows computer and teamviewer 8 | 13:32 |
| snuggl | Foxhoundz: can you ping it or connect to any other port? | 13:33 |
| * no_gravity still without network. | 13:33 | |
| snuggl | else, find a way to reboot | 13:33 |
| Foxhoundz | snuggl: ping works fine and several apps are running on it | 13:33 |
| [gnubie] | vlt: i haven't created a password for the ordinary user account. but for root, yes. | 13:33 |
| snuggl | Foxhoundz, then either you or then firewalled you away, or the sshd crashed | 13:33 |
| snuggl | or them* | 13:33 |
| yeats | snuggl: that's jumping to conclusions - sounds like Foxhoundz problem is with SSH alone | 13:33 |
| subman | I seem to be stuck now at kernel_thread_helper any ideas? | 13:34 |
| yeats | Foxhoundz: do you have physical access to the box? can you log in to a terminal? | 13:34 |
| Foxhoundz | I should note the box is accessed through LAN | 13:34 |
| Foxhoundz | it's a raspberry pi sitting in the corner | 13:34 |
| snuggl | yeats: what? | 13:34 |
| yeats | Foxhoundz: can you access it directly? | 13:35 |
| snuggl | yeats: ssh crashing would be a problem with sshd alone | 13:35 |
| Asterfield | Simulating an FN keypress on a keyboard that has no FN key. Is this possible? | 13:35 |
| snuggl | Asterfield: FN isnt a real key | 13:35 |
| yeats | snuggl: don't worry about it - when you said " snuggl> Foxhoundz: the server crashed" - it sounded like you were saying the entire box had gone down | 13:36 |
| snuggl | yeats: ah, i was talking about the server as in sshd | 13:36 |
| Asterfield | snuggl: So, I'd have to find out the keycode of the fn modified key on the original keyboard? | 13:36 |
| snuggl | Asterfield: FN doesnt have keycodes | 13:36 |
| snuggl | they arent real keys | 13:36 |
| [gnubie] | snuggl: thanks! | 13:37 |
| KatyPerryX420 | help | 13:37 |

| Asterfield | snuggl: The original keyboard in this case is busted. There's no way for me to know what keycodes it generates | 13:38 |
| snuggl | Asterfield: then you have to google around, it depends on who made the computer/keyboard | 13:38 |
| snuggl | there are no standard solution | 13:38 |
| snuggl | Asterfield: some are handled in BIOS, some in the keyboard hardware | 13:38 |

| hisbil | i wanna use to my qt.. | 13:40 |
| snuggl | hisbil: .sql files arent used in mysql | 13:40 |
| snuggl | you can load the content of the files into mysql if you want | 13:40 |
| hisbil | waht ?? | 13:40 |
| hisbil | there is the link ?? | 13:40 |
| snuggl | no SQL server uses .sql files directly | 13:41 |
| snuggl | hisbil: think itts mysqlclient < file.sql or similar | 13:41 |
| snuggl | to load it | 13:41 |
| hisbil | ooo,, | 13:41 |
| snuggl | but ask in the mysql channel instead | 13:41 |
| hisbil | maybe.. | 13:41 |
| hisbil | hehehe | 13:41 |
| snuggl | or just google how to load sql files | 13:41 |
| snuggl | there should be plenty of hits | 13:41 |
| hisbil | oke.. | 13:41 |
| hisbil | thanks for answers.. | 13:42 |
| [gnubie] | snuggl, histo, bekks, vlt: since the log says the username is locked, i unlocked it by just creating a password for the user. now, i will change its shell to rbash. thank you very much for all your help. | 13:42 |
| subman | Could this be a uefi issue? | 13:43 |
| vlt | [gnubie]: yw | 13:43 |
| [gnubie] | so the problem was not about the permission nor the authorized_keys file. the problem was because the user is still locked on the system. | 13:43 |
| snuggl | [gnubie]: you can unlock with "passwd -u user" | 13:43 |
| snuggl | and lock with -l | 13:44 |
| KatyPerryX420 | thanks i'm in and i'm outta here if i need any help setting up my ajax server i will be back | 13:44 |
| [gnubie] | snuggl: that's what i did. but it prompted me that the user don't have a password yet. so i realised, maybe i skipped on creating the password that causes this problem. in ubuntu, if the user don't have a password yet, it is automatically locked to prevent a passwordless login. | 13:45 |

| compdoc | are you choosing options when installing? or just letting it install the way it wants? | 14:04 |
| subman | install as it sees fit | 14:04 |
| compdoc | well, with uefi, there are options for legacy booting, and on some boards, even legacy video options. have you tried those? | 14:05 |
| compdoc | does ubuntu see the hard drive when you try to install? | 14:06 |
| subman | Yup | 14:06 |
| subman | Install completes fine | 14:06 |
| subman | I've gone through all the uefi stuff. It is booting with legacy | 14:07 |
| compdoc | if theres an option for IOMMU? disable that | 14:07 |
| compdoc | and if you see an option for PCI Latency Timer, set that to 32 | 14:08 |
| subman | IOMMU is disabled | 14:08 |
| compdoc | you ever run memtest? | 14:08 |
| compdoc | how much ram is there? | 14:09 |
| subman | 8 GB | 14:09 |
| compdoc | in some, theres an option for memory hole. you might toggle that setting | 14:09 |
| subman | Testing now | 14:10 |
| subman | memory hole? | 14:10 |
| compdoc | yeah, its a bios option for some boards. if you dont see it, no worries | 14:11 |
| scotty^ | subman: I'm not sure why it won't boot, but for X you might need http://cgit.freedesktop.org/mesa/drm/commit/?id=36a2daad2416ad55a859c483b0d7ed93a5eff6e0 | 14:12 |

| thoonai | hey im searching for a non pae version of ubuntu, anyone able to point me where I find it? | 14:13 |
| subman | scotty^, I have no idea what to do what that! | 14:13 |
| compdoc | subman, are you installing the 64bit version of ubuntu? | 14:14 |
| subman | compdoc, yes | 14:15 |
| scotty^ | git of the latest libdrm, xf86-video-ati and mesa master should take care of it. But you still need to get it to boot Hopefully compdoc can help you with that. | 14:16 |
| subman | Wow, it is becoming a Windows world with all this new hardware | 14:16 |
| thoonai | found, but the canonical website isn't that clear | 14:17 |
| subman | compdoc, are you thinking that 32 bit might be a better choice? With PAE? | 14:26 |
| scotty^ | subman: git of the latest libdrm, xf86-video-ati and mesa master should take care of it. But you still need to get it to boot Hopefully compdoc can help you with that. | 14:26 |

| sotrk91 | Congratulations Ubuntu... you failed to do everything I needed you to in one day. | 14:38 |
| sotrk91 | You almost made it | 14:38 |
| sotrk91 | almost | 14:38 |
| sotrk91 | you were very very close. | 14:38 |
| sotrk91 | ffs, why is it so hard to find simple common sense shit? | 14:38 |
| IdleOne | sotrk91: Please keep the language clean | 14:39 |
| sotrk91 | sorry | 14:39 |
| scotty^ | sotrk91: You were unable to download lsalarm from the repositories? | 14:40 |

| pecc | histo: dd hasn't yet finished, should I expect trouble? | 14:41 |
| sotrk91 | I dont know where to get it from | 14:41 |
| she_dyed | just try it as is | 14:42 |
| she_dyed | it will say if its not found | 14:42 |
| rAg3 | sotrk91: you should not take out your frustration here , if no one at this moment here can help you that doesnot mean nobody can , there are those who arent online as of now , you have to be patient and just ask someother time , i would also suggest if you would please post it on askubuntu as well !! someone will respond | 14:43 |
| scotty^ | sotrk91: Indeed it's not in the repositories. But you didn't look very hard. It's at http://freecode.com/projects/lsalarm | 14:43 |

| sotrk91 | IdleOne, dl link there is dead | 14:44 |
| compdoc | everyone can try it, but not everyone will like it | 14:44 |
| tintin | Is ubuntu for me? | 14:44 |
| IdleOne | sotrk91: I don't know what download link you are talking about | 14:44 |
| sotrk91 | IdleOne, the download link on the page you linked me to | 14:45 |
| IdleOne | sotrk91: I didn't link you any pages. you can install the "alarm-clock" package from Software Center or sudo apt-get install alarm-clock | 14:45 |
| sotrk91 | o | 14:45 |
| sotrk91 | sorry | 14:45 |
| sotrk91 | I meant scotty^ | 14:45 |
| tintin | Does ubuntu loads the fist desktop screen slowly? | 14:46 |
| sotrk91 | scotty^, your link has a dead dl link | 14:46 |
| tintin | as ubuntu takes too much resource/memory | 14:46 |
| tintin | latest ubuntu-13.04 | 14:46 |

| rAg3 | sotrk91: http://ltsword.allegronetwork.com/src/lsalarm-0.85.tar.gz | 14:46 |
| scotty^ | sotrk91 - Indeed it is. | 14:46 |
| she_dyed | sotrk91: suspend and none will work | 14:47 |
| sotrk91 | rAg3, that link it dead to me | 14:47 |
| sotrk91 | why can I not suspend? | 14:47 |
| she_dyed | PC goes to sleep | 14:47 |
| rAg3 | sotrk91: sorry , it is | 14:47 |
| tintin | Can anyone answer my question? | 14:47 |
| she_dyed | no alarm will remain active in a suspend | 14:48 |
| compdoc | if ubuntu is right for you? | 14:48 |
| sotrk91 | she_dyed, yes. It does. And an alarm program should wake it | 14:48 |
| she_dyed | no your thinking of something else | 14:48 |
| tintin | does ubuntu loads slowly ? | 14:48 |
| tintin | to get the first desktop screen | 14:48 |
| compdoc | not on fast systems | 14:48 |
| sotrk91 | in Windows7 this as easy as setting task scheduler to open Foobar at a time, and ticking "wake from hibernate" | 14:49 |
| IdleOne | tintin: try it and find out | 14:49 |
| she_dyed | there you go | 14:49 |
| gp5st | so i just installed 12.04 desktop and when i run sudo apt-get update i'm told there is a lock on the dir, but i don't see any apps open that would be using it? | 14:49 |
| LiquidDemocracy | scotty^, I am looking for a program suitable for beginners | 14:49 |
| sotrk91 | she_dyed, in Windows7 this as easy as setting task scheduler to open Foobar at a time, and ticking "wake from hibernate" | 14:49 |
| rAg3 | tintin: it depends on what all processes/services are started during bootup , and as compdoc said .. system specs also matter | 14:49 |
| she_dyed | there you go ^ | 14:49 |
| IdleOne | gp5st: rm the lock file that it tells you is in use and then try update again. | 14:50 |
| sotrk91 | there I do what? | 14:50 |
| sotrk91 | *go | 14:50 |
| tintin | some say, lubuntu is faster to load than ubuntu | 14:50 |
| scotty^ | LiquidDemocracy: Probably OpenShot then. I've never use it myself. There is also Pitivi. | 14:50 |
| she_dyed | reboot and take care of an immediate need | 14:50 |
| LiquidDemocracy | scotty^, thx | 14:50 |
| she_dyed | or use the free wake up call | 14:50 |
| sotrk91 | she_dyed, huh? | 14:51 |
| she_dyed | use the right tool for now | 14:51 |
| she_dyed | one that works | 14:51 |
| sotrk91 | the point of all of this is NOT turning on windows for 1 day. | 14:51 |
| sotrk91 | Ubuntu has failed in this. | 14:51 |
| she_dyed | trhe point right now is to wake you | 14:51 |
| rAg3 | tintin: ubuntu by default uses unity, lubuntu lxde. lxde is not as intensive as unity | 14:51 |
| LiquidDemocracy | scotty^, ah OpenShot is for Gnome, right? I am on KDE. | 14:51 |
| rAg3 | so comparatively , yes , lubuntu should bootup faster than ubuntu tintin | 14:52 |
| she_dyed | i add a line to my crontab and works for me | 14:52 |
| subman | Ok, at work but back. | 14:52 |
| rAg3 | she_dyed: for waking up pc from sleep ? | 14:52 |

| subman | compdoc, come up with anything? | 14:52 |
| she_dyed | rAg3: not yet | 14:53 |
| logabr | my guess is that my mongodb.conf file is not working correctly | 14:53 |
| xzcvczx | logabr: check the logs | 14:53 |
| duhamel | ive tried updating and upgrading, ive also tried replacing/updating kernel headers | 14:53 |
| compdoc | subman, I only use AMD cpus/apus for ubuntu, but sometimes you just have to be there in person to find the answer. try installing ubuntu server, and if that boots ok, add the desktop. thats how I do it | 14:54 |
| duhamel | ive downloaded the drivers and tried a few walkthroughs ive found but still nothing | 14:54 |
| tintin | how can i make ubuntu boot faster? | 14:54 |
| compdoc | tintin, get an ssd drive | 14:55 |
| r00t | hi . I had a issue with xorg . "no screen" issue . I was able to fix it by reinstalling server-xorg . the problem is now when I log in to the account I reinstalled xorg . it get loggout automaticlly . but my guest account works fine . | 14:55 |
| she_dyed | rAg3: so its been done http://is.gd/m6WI90 | 14:55 |
| tintin | compdoc: what is that ssd drive? why do i need it? i have 1TB hard drive | 14:55 |
| subman | compdoc, I shall give that a shot | 14:55 |
| WeThePeople | how do i fix broken pipes to load ubuntu | 14:55 |
| she_dyed | rAg3: except i can't try it | 14:55 |
| she_dyed | maybe from suspend i can | 14:56 |
| compdoc | subman, for server, I always select LAMP, samba, and openssh for the services | 14:56 |
| r00t | something maybe got wrong in that account . coz I used fluxbox instend of gnome to log in to that acccount . still it get rebooted when I open chromium browser . but I was able to open the terminal and create a new account . and Im in that account at the moment | 14:56 |
| rAg3 | she_dyed: wait , let me check it out | 14:56 |
| r00t | need some guide to fix this | 14:56 |
| tintin | compdoc: what is that ssd drive? why do i need it? i have 1TB hard drive | 14:56 |
| duhamel | hello, im dual booting ubuntu 12.10 and win 8 on hp envy M6 (amd version) i cant get wireless to work. hw version rtl8111/8168b | 14:56 |
| compdoc | tintin, a 1TB drive should be modern enough to be fast | 14:57 |
| tintin | does hard drive make ubuntu to boot faster? | 14:57 |
| xzcvczx | tintin: a ssd would | 14:57 |
| rAg3 | she_dyed: it uses rtcwake , and rtcwake fails to suspend my system | 14:57 |
| esing | Does flash update with ubuntu update/-grade or do I have to update flash manually | 14:58 |
| tintin | xzcvczx: why? | 14:58 |
| rAg3 | she_dyed: suspend to "standby" not available , thats the error i get , limitation of my bios , maybe | 14:59 |
| xzcvczx | tintin: http://bit.ly/117beBR | 14:59 |
| compdoc | tintin, what cpu do you have? | 14:59 |
| tintin | intel pentium D | 14:59 |
| she_dyed | rAg3: uspend to standy != hibernate? | 14:59 |
| tintin | 2.66GHz | 14:59 |
| compdoc | pretty old, isnt it? | 14:59 |
| rAg3 | she_dyed: nope !! | 14:59 |
| rAg3 | she_dyed: hibernate is suspend to disk | 14:59 |
| she_dyed | good! | 15:00 |
| duhamel | has anybody had any problems with realtek wireless drivers on laptop with 12.10? | 15:00 |
| tintin | compdoc: so what? | 15:00 |
| she_dyed | because a reboot her rAg3 will cause it to go to wrong OS | 15:00 |
| she_dyed | here* | 15:00 |
| xzcvczx | tintin: so if you get a newer computer it will help speed up the boot | 15:00 |
| she_dyed | rAg3: let me try | 15:00 |
| esing | about:plugins in firefox reveals that I have flash 11.2 r202 ; I guess this is already the newest flash available for ubuntu? | 15:01 |
| rAg3 | she_dyed: i didnt get u !! if u have grub installed , u can configure it to boot to os of your choice | 15:01 |
| duhamel | tintin: how old is the install and which ubuntu version is it? | 15:01 |
| konecktd | hello | 15:01 |
| tintin | i am going to install ubuntu 13.04 | 15:02 |
| she_dyed | rAg3: i know, but xp did a hiccup on this dual boot and when graub came back i can't seem to find the original source/config it came from | 15:02 |
| she_dyed | rAg3: i want a way to pick the default from grub cli and save that | 15:02 |
| she_dyed | rAg3: but thats another issue for another day | 15:03 |
| rAg3 | she_dyed you can always make changes in grub config file and use update grub, u have to use "savedefaults" for that | 15:03 |
| duhamel | ubuntu 13.04 boots fast all on its own. solid state will definitely shave lots of time off not only boot but all r/w actions | 15:03 |
| she_dyed | rAg3: but i can't find the config it came from | 15:03 |
| rAg3 | she_dyed: what version of ubuntu are u using? | 15:04 |
| duhamel | patition /boot, swap, / on ssd the /home on hdd. | 15:04 |
| johnjohn1011 | how fast does it boot off of ssd? | 15:04 |
| duhamel | i have xubuntu 12.04 on ssd my boot time is about 3 seconds after splash screen | 15:05 |
| johnjohn1011 | just a curious question. won't swap wear out that part of the ssd? | 15:05 |
| she_dyed | rAg3: let me check that suspend | 15:05 |
| rAg3 | duhamel: thats FAST !! faster than mine :D | 15:05 |
| duhamel | from the time splash comes up to the time i can get on the net. | 15:05 |
| Rarrikins | I can't get mysql-server reinstalled | 15:06 |
| rAg3 | duhamel: ok , much faster | 15:06 |
| Rarrikins | It says that it can't set the root password. | 15:06 |
| Rarrikins | How do I fix that? | 15:06 |
| chenxiongfei | oho | 15:06 |
| johnjohn1011 | what is your cpu speed and ram for that time frame of bootup time? | 15:06 |
| duhamel | rAg3: you are booting from hdd? | 15:06 |
| bekks | !root | Rarrikins | 15:06 |
| ubottu | Rarrikins: Do not try to guess the root password, that is impossible. Instead, realise the truth... there is no root password. Then you will see that it is 'sudo' that grants you access and not the root password. Look at https://help.ubuntu.com/community/RootSudo | 15:06 |
| Rarrikins | I'm using apt-get | 15:07 |
| rAg3 | duhamel: yes | 15:07 |
| konecktd | Looking for a new lappy top throw Ubuntu on? I bought an Ideapad yesterday and OOTB Ubuntu loads like a dream, FYI! | 15:07 |
| rAg3 | Rarrikins: use sudo apt-get | 15:07 |
| duhamel | i have mindows 7 and ubuntu on ssd with my /home partition on 3tb hdd | 15:07 |
| johnjohn1011 | rarrikins, are you talking about the root password for mysql or ubuntu? | 15:07 |
| Rarrikins | I do | 15:07 |
| Rarrikins | It can't set the MySQL root password. | 15:07 |
| packetfrog | use sudo! | 15:07 |
| Rarrikins | I do | 15:07 |
| bekks | Rarrikins: How do you try to set it? | 15:07 |
| Rarrikins | The installer asks me for a password. | 15:07 |
| Rarrikins | Then it says it can't set it. | 15:07 |
| packetfrog | hoastnom& set mysql plz root | 15:08 |
| duhamel | i never use my windows but i keep it in case i ever want to game | 15:08 |
| rAg3 | Rarrikins: is ur mysql server running ? ps -e | grep mysql | 15:08 |
| Rarrikins | No, it can't start | 15:08 |
| Rarrikins | It says something about a socket file being missing | 15:08 |
| duhamel | hello, im dual booting ubuntu 12.10 and win 8 on hp envy M6 (amd version) i cant get wireless to work. hw version rtl8111/8168b | 15:08 |
| rAg3 | Rarrikins: have you tried purging the installation , removing its config from etc and reinstalling it ? | 15:09 |
| duhamel | any direction would be greatly appreciated | 15:09 |
| johnjohn1011 | Rarrikins: http://www.cyberciti.biz/tips/recover-mysql-root-password.html | 15:09 |

| rAg3 | Rarrikins: ok | 15:10 |
| duhamel | i need to get this working so i dont have to use windows when im out and about | 15:10 |
| rAg3 | duhamel: what version of ubuntu are you using ? | 15:11 |
| duhamel | 12.10 | 15:11 |
| jrib | WeThePeople: probably a permissions issue. You should be able to just rename the file and let the system recreate it | 15:11 |

| cosmiccigarette | the problem is i need two different layouts because i have one keyboard with and one without numpad | 15:55 |
| packetfrog | :> | 15:55 |
| * packetfrog hides | 15:55 | |
| she_dyed | see realworld experience lol | 15:56 |
| th0r | cosmiccigarette: and each time you switch you are going to have to tell the system which one you are using | 15:56 |
| cloudgeek | during boot i getting this not able to login *Help | 15:56 |
| cloudgeek | Could not update ICEauthority file /home/me/.ICEauthority | 15:56 |
| cosmiccigarette | how so? | 15:56 |
| rAg3 | cyberglyph: for a http proxy ? | 15:56 |
| rAg3 | cyberglyph: will it be a caching server? | 15:56 |
| th0r | cosmiccigarette: in xubuntu it is in Settings - Keyboard | 15:57 |
| cyberglyph | http proxy I believe Im not sure what caching server is sorry kinda new to proxy stuff | 15:57 |
| packetfrog | cosmiccigarette, Did you hit Num Lock on the keyboard? | 15:57 |
| packetfrog | >:D | 15:57 |
| santiago__ | hola | 15:57 |
| cosmiccigarette | yes i did | 15:57 |
| santiago__ | alguien de españa | 15:58 |
| she_dyed | !es | 15:58 |
| ubottu | En la mayoría de los canales de Ubuntu, se habla sólo en inglés. Si busca ayuda en español entre al canal #ubuntu-es; escriba "/join #ubuntu-es" (sin comillas) y presione intro. | 15:58 |
| cosmiccigarette | if numlock is disabled on the external keyboard the keys on the internal are disabled too | 15:58 |
| cosmiccigarette | because the system takes them as a numpad | 15:58 |
| rAg3 | cyberglyph: http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Proxy_server#Caching | 15:58 |
| pradyumna | how to search with apt-get? Like in Yum search ***** | 15:58 |
| she_dyed | pradyumna: try apt-cache search | 15:58 |
| cloudgeek | i have done a dierctory rm -rf about 1 minute ago now how i can retrive that file | 15:59 |
| rAg3 | cyberglyph: read it and then tell me what do you decide , caching proxy or a transparent one | 15:59 |
| cosmiccigarette | there is no keyboard layout with/without numpad theres just layouts for different languages... | 16:00 |

| cyberglyph | It looks like transparent proxy to hide my ip from the internet and surf anonymously. | 16:01 |
| packetfrog | cyberglyph, Is this server going to be on the same network as your computers you use? | 16:01 |
| duhamel | rAg3: i moved the bin file into /lib/firmware and rebooted but there is no difference | 16:02 |
| rAg3 | cyberglyph: its not that transparent !! | 16:02 |
| cyberglyph | yeah its gonna be right next to my main pc and other wireless computer on my home network | 16:02 |
| rAg3 | cyberglyph: use polipo proxy server | 16:02 |
| packetfrog | cyberglyph, It wont hide you then. | 16:02 |
| packetfrog | cyberglyph, It will show up outside as your same external IP. | 16:03 |
| rAg3 | cyberglyph: with ubuntu 12.04 , and no proxy server is entirely anonymous | 16:03 |
| packetfrog | #1network---->(proxy)---->internetz | 16:03 |
| packetfrog | if the proxy is IN #1network its not hiding your networks external IP | 16:03 |
| rAg3 | duhamel: download firmware for your device http://www.mediatek.com/_en/07_downloads/01_windows.php?sn=501 | 16:04 |
| cyberglyph | I want to surf safe and not goto a website and see where I live | 16:04 |
| duhamel | rAg3: when i ls in that directory the other firware files similar to that one are in blue but the one i pasted is in white. do i need to change permissions on that file? | 16:04 |
| rAg3 | duhamel: do ls -la , you'll know the permissions of all other files | 16:05 |
| cyberglyph | like : whats my ip website tells exactly my current static ip and exactly where I live yikes! | 16:05 |
| packetfrog | cyberglyph, http://anonymouse.org/anonwww.html | 16:05 |
| rAg3 | duhamel: it should b rw-r--r-- for all files | 16:05 |
| packetfrog | its not exactly where you live | 16:05 |
| packetfrog | its where your ISP is located | 16:05 |
| rAg3 | duhamel: and owned by root | 16:05 |

| === Santosh is now known as Guest60679 | ||
| packetfrog | yes | 16:06 |
| rAg3 | cyberglyph: thats not possible , or u can use tor to do that !! that way no one will know your real location | 16:06 |
| Guest60679 | hows the control ? | 16:06 |
| cosmiccigarette | for secure proxies trry: blackvpn.com or http://ovpn.to/ | 16:06 |
| duhamel | lrwxrwxrwx 1 root root 10 Apr 13 12:09 rt3070.bin -> rt2870.bin | 16:06 |

| cyberglyph | right I have see anonymouse.org have see that I thought if I used a proxy server I could get the calling card without disclosing my iso info | 16:07 |
| Guest60679 | anyone played the "Speed Dreams" game ? howz the control ? is it as crappy as Torcs's ? | 16:07 |
| packetfrog | cyberglyph, Unless you are doing something illegal or something that is going to piss off a government I bet you wont continue to use any method that will make you anonymous for very long. | 16:07 |
| duhamel | rAg3: that is what it says. | 16:07 |
| packetfrog | Its slow and annoying | 16:07 |
| rAg3 | duhamel: just make the changes and it should work | 16:07 |
| cosmiccigarette | packetfrog its only slow if youre using stuff like tor | 16:08 |
| cyberglyph | why is it bad to do that? | 16:08 |
| rAg3 | duhamel: no .. u see .. the duhamen duhamel ? it is owned by you , it should b owned by root root | 16:08 |
| wilee-nilee | cyberglyph, On the IRC you want to register and get a cloak, your IP is seen here. | 16:08 |
| Guest60679 | are the controls on speed dreams any better than torcs ? is it worth installing ? | 16:08 |
| rAg3 | duhamel: so just do this .. sudo chown root:root rt3290.bin | 16:08 |
| BluesKaj | cyberglyph, in #freenode you can give yourself some anonymity by asking for a cloak | 16:09 |
| subman | Anyone know how to update the BIOS? I'm using the new UEFI Asus bios | 16:09 |
| cosmiccigarette | or use a vpn proxy for a few bucks a month | 16:09 |
| BluesKaj | cyberglyph, strictly for frenode server tho | 16:09 |
| Guest60679 | Any one knows how I can stop jackdbus from autostarting ? there seems no conf in /etc/init | 16:09 |
| Guest60679 | but still jackdbus auto starts. | 16:09 |
| subman | I dont' seem to be able to find any information on how to do that | 16:09 |
| dexterdj | BluesKaj : how can one ask for a cloak ? | 16:09 |
| duhamel | rAg3: should i also change permission? | 16:10 |
| BluesKaj | dexterdj, in the #freenode chat | 16:10 |
| BluesKaj | !cloak | 16:10 |
| ubottu | To get any kind of cloak (ubuntu member or any other kind) you first need to set up your nick as detailed in this FAQ: http://freenode.net/faq.shtml#nicksetup - For Ubuntu member cloaks, ask in #ubuntu-irc and provide your launchpad page, for unaffiliated ones, ask in #freenode. | 16:10 |
| rAg3 | duhamel: no the permissiions are fine | 16:10 |
| wilee-nilee | subman, If there is a bios update it would be on the manufacturers site, see what it is if there is one. Updating the bios has inherent risks, and what makes you think you need to. | 16:10 |
| subman | wilee-nilee, all other options to install Ubuntu on this new machine have failed | 16:11 |
| dexterdj | Thank you. | 16:11 |
| wilee-nilee | subman, I doubt a bios update will fixs it, have you read the UEFI wiki? | 16:11 |
| she_dyed | subman: its easy to blame BIOS | 16:11 |
| subman | wilee-nilee, yes. Ubuntu installed, it just won't run | 16:12 |
| shmoon | whats the difference between chroot and jail ? | 16:12 |
| wilee-nilee | !details | subman | 16:12 |
| ubottu | subman: Please give us full details. For example: "I have a problem with ..., I'm running Ubuntu version .... When I try to do ..., I get the following output: ..., but I expected it to do ..." | 16:12 |
| duhamel | rAg3: still a no go | 16:12 |
| codefree | !ubuntu-arm | 16:13 |
| MonkeyDust | !arm | 16:13 |
| ubottu | ARM is a specific (RISC) processor architecture used in a variety of applications such as handhelds and networkdevices. For more information see https://wiki.ubuntu.com/ARM . For ARM specific support, stop by the #ubuntu-arm channel. | 16:13 |
| codefree | thanks | 16:13 |
| wilee-nilee | shmoon, Chroot is accessing a OS from another in root, jail is locking up something. | 16:13 |
| codefree | it's not the same as ubuntu phone is it? | 16:13 |
| subman | wilee-nilee, I can boot from the live usb and it installs fine. When I try to boot it, it stops at 'kernel panic- not syncing: no init found. Try passing init=options to the kernel | 16:13 |
| rAg3 | duhamel: ok .. one more try, download your corresponding driver from http://www.mediatek.com/_en/07_downloads/01_windows.php?sn=501 | 16:14 |
| subman | wilee-nilee, RAM has been tested and passed | 16:14 |
| tigeraniya | try changing boot parameters in grub | 16:14 |
| rAg3 | duhamel: and delete the one you copied into /lib/firmware | 16:14 |
| shmoon | wilee-nilee: sorry i am confused. from what i understand chroot is changing the root of a process, and i thought the restricted environment caused in effect is the jail, but some people say they're completely different | 16:14 |
| |pez| | Is it possible to jail ssh users to a directory? Wanting to offer some hosting to some friends, but don't want the hassle with ftp and stuff. | 16:14 |
| wilee-nilee | shmoon, Completely different. | 16:15 |
| shmoon | wilee-nilee: can you explain | 16:15 |
| subman | wilee-nilee, motherboard is an asus F2A55-M LK and the cpu is an AMD A6 5400K | 16:15 |
| rAg3 | |pez|: yes it is , shared hostings do it all the time , limiting users to their assigned directories | 16:15 |
| subman | wilee-nilee, Ubuntu 12.04 64 bit is being used | 16:16 |
| |pez| | Without using ftp or anything like that? | 16:16 |
| tigeraniya | pez yes you can restrict predefined commands in ssh .. by creating a new account for ssh and settting its shell as rssh .. | 16:16 |
| |pez| | Cause that'd be perfect. | 16:16 |
| duhamel | rAg3: how do i find out which file to download? | 16:16 |
| tigeraniya | install rssh and see /etc/rssh.conf | 16:16 |
| wilee-nilee | shmoon, Not really treally any better this is ubuntu support not technical explanation, that info is on the web in millions of pages. | 16:16 |
| |pez| | Ooh, rssh will be checked out. Thanks! | 16:16 |
| MonkeyDust | !chroot | 16:16 |
| ubottu | A chroot is used to make programs believe that the directory they are running in is really the root directory. It can be used to stop programs accessing files outside of that directory, or for compiling 32bit applications in a 64bit environment - see https://help.ubuntu.com/community/BasicChroot | 16:16 |
| wilee-nilee | shmoon, Give the channel your info, not me. | 16:17 |
| rAg3 | duhamel: give me the snippet again ? lspci -nn for your wireless ? | 16:17 |
| spacedementia87 | hi there, I am having a problem. I am using the XBMCbuntu live CD and when I boot I get an error telling me "mmio address already in use" and then the screen goes black.

| shmoon | wilee-nilee: can you link me to a page that explains differencE? | 16:18 |
| shmoon | honestly when read this https://help.ubuntu.com/community/BasicChroot - then thats what i understand | 16:18 |

| wilee-nilee | subman, UEFI help is not real solid here. The ubuntu forum has daily helpers that focus on this area. One of the problems with uefi is the manufacturers have tweak the new boot code to their own liking so it is a bit of hit and miss, try the forums it is your best help really. ;) | 16:33 |

| ubottu | cxyb: #ubuntu is the Ubuntu support channel, for all Ubuntu-related support questions. Please use #ubuntu-offtopic for other topics (though our !guidelines apply there too). Thanks! | 16:37 |
| shishire | I remember that an older version of ubuntu had an Authorizations gui, which acted as a front-end to policykit. I'm running 12.10 and I'm trying to allow a specific subset of stuff for a standard user on the machine. Is there such a gui still? Or at least a human readable list of all the permissions and how they interact? | 16:37 |
| DJones | sanav: 10.04 support ends very shortly, so you're likely to need to upgrade anyway | 16:37 |
| MonkeyDust | sanav 10.04 desktop will be !eol soon | 16:37 |
| wilee-nilee | sanav, That will be end of life in about three weeks. | 16:37 |
| she_dyed | Bus_08-10: form ubuntu repo? | 16:38 |
| MonkeyDust | sanav better upgrade, first, instead of strugling with 10.04 | 16:38 |
| she_dyed | from* | 16:38 |
| Bus_08-10 | no, used the teamviewer graphical install and used the ppa from rigs of rods | 16:38 |
| sanav | i think, i have no option left | 16:38 |
| MonkeyDust | sanav indeed | 16:39 |
| Bus_08-10 | she_dyed? | 16:39 |
| she_dyed | Bus_08-10: use a pastebin and post the errors there | 16:39 |

| acu | how can I start nautilus dolphin or konqueror as root - not through cli (I know I could just open bash and type as root - nautilus - but I guess there should be a way to run as root a program | 16:41 |
| acu | in kde | 16:41 |
| MonkeyDust | acu if you don't know, then you shouldn't | 16:42 |
| acu | MonkeyDust: very inteligent and useful | 16:42 |

| Bus_08-10 | ok, another question. how come i am continuously getting gui lockup? | 16:42 |
| myth | oh lord | 16:42 |
| MonkeyDust | acu if you don't know, it means you're very familiar with ubuntu and shouldn't run a file manager as root | 16:42 |
| myth | Bus_08-10: it freezes? | 16:42 |
| MonkeyDust | you're not very familiar* | 16:43 |
| Bus_08-10 | yes, almost every time i open more than 2 programs | 16:43 |
| myth | Bus_08-10: cursor stops working? | 16:43 |
| Bus_08-10 | yes and all it displays is gui lockup and attempts to restart some sort of channel | 16:43 |
| acu | MonkeyDust: where do you take your wisdom ? Such useful advise... | 16:44 |
| Bus_08-10 | myth: yes and all it displays is gui lockup and attempts to restart some sort of channel | 16:44 |
| myth | eh | 16:45 |
| myth | Bus_08-10: unity, right? | 16:45 |
| Bus_08-10 | yes | 16:45 |
| myth | 12.10? | 16:45 |
| Bus_08-10 | yes | 16:45 |
| myth | no idea how to help, see what the error message is after a while, and write it down. | 16:45 |
| myth | then you should come back in here so someone might be able to help. | 16:45 |
| Bus_08-10 | do you think i should just go with lubuntu for a performance boost | 16:46 |
| myth | but right now, what you're giving simply isn't much info. | 16:46 |
| myth | Bus_08-10: yes! | 16:46 |

| cornfeedhobo | trism: is there some python specific linking i did not do or something? | 16:58 |
| delocaz | bazhang: nomodeset did not change anything | 16:59 |
| oneliner | myth about that. i was meaning to upgrade any day now, but i fear i might have mangled the core with some ppa i needed to get it to work(ironically in this same chan they told me my hardware was "too new" when i first tried installing) because i had issues with ethernet, nvidia, 2tb harddrive | 17:00 |
| subman | Well after using Ubuntu since 2007 on all my machines I have to throw in the towel and install Windows. All due to this new UEFI garbage. Sad | 17:00 |
| she_dyed | delocaz: where did you type it, its for boot/grub screen | 17:01 |
| semitones | she_dyed, thanks | 17:01 |
| she_dyed | gl | 17:01 |
| myth | subman: why? | 17:01 |
| delocaz | she_dyed: On the screen where you can pick "try before installing" etc, I hit F6, selected nomodeset and pressed space, then ESC, then enter | 17:01 |
| myth | subman: UEFI isn't much of an issue. | 17:01 |
| histo | !nomodeset | she_dyed | 17:02 |
| ubottu | she_dyed: A common kernel (boot)parameter is nomodeset, which is needed for some graphic cards that otherwise boot into a black screen or show corrupted splash screen. See http://ubuntuforums.org/showthread.php?t=1613132 on how to use this parameter | 17:02 |
| subman | myth, it sure is on this motherboard/cpu combination | 17:02 |
| semitones | she_dyed, so, for example, "fuser -m /dev/sdb1" to see what's using that device? | 17:02 |
| myth | subman: no it isn't | 17:02 |
| subman | myth, ok | 17:03 |
| she_dyed | semitones: ii think it's different for device, sometimes umount would be enough | 17:03 |
| myth | subman: have you tried installing ubuntu on that box yet? | 17:03 |
| subman | myth, yup | 17:03 |
| semitones | she_dyed, i mainly want to see what process is using that device, so I can decide if it's important or just hung | 17:03 |
| myth | 32 bit version? | 17:03 |
| subman | myth, 64 | 17:03 |
| myth | subman: tried disabling secure boot? | 17:03 |
| subman | myth, yup | 17:04 |
| myth | subman: what was the issue? | 17:04 |

| aguitel | is possible to continue use 10.04 ? | 17:05 |

| subman | histo, 12.04 | 17:07 |
| histo | subman: is the cd booting in efi mode? | 17:07 |
| oneliner | live usb | 17:07 |
| histo | err usb | 17:07 |
| subman | histo, the bios shows the usb stick to be in EFI mode | 17:07 |
| oneliner | make sure mainboard allows booting from alternate devices | 17:07 |
| histo | subman: yeah that doesn't mean squat. let me send you directions from ubottu | 17:08 |
| posdifu | :q | 17:08 |
| delocaz | Hello, it's me again. I have given up on Xubuntu, and I'm wondering how to get Lubuntu installed on my computer, which has a SiS "graphics card". It just blackscreens, flashes something about stopping, then flashes a cursor every once in a while. | 17:08 |
| histo | !uefi | subman efi is quite tricky to get working | 17:08 |
| ubottu | subman efi is quite tricky to get working: UEFI is a specification that defines a software interface between an operating system and platform firmware, it is meant as a replacement for the BIOS. For information on how to set up and install Ubuntu and its derivatives on UEFI machines please read https://help.ubuntu.com/community/UEFI | 17:08 |
| subman | histo, yeah, follow those directions. | 17:08 |
| === alexis is now known as Guest91904 | ||
| histo | subman: well can you disable efi in the bios and enable legacy mode? | 17:09 |
| subman | histo, oops, yes, I've followed those instructions | 17:09 |
| subman | histo, yes. | 17:09 |
| histo | subman: and when you boot in legacy mode? | 17:09 |
| subman | histo, same result. No boot, kernel panic | 17:11 |
| cornfeedhobo | trism: figured it out. i need python3 version which is only in raring | 17:12 |
| histo | subman: well is it booting in bios mode or not. Youc an tell by the grub screen if you read the uefi instructions. Also how did you make this usb? | 17:12 |
| subman | histo, here is the output from the boot-repair if that is of any help. http://paste.ubuntu.com/5708205/ | 17:13 |
| trism | cornfeedhobo: ah that would do it | 17:13 |
| subman | histo, it does not boot in legacy mode. | 17:13 |
| histo | subman: how'd you get boot repair to run? | 17:14 |
| subman | histo, live usb | 17:14 |
| cornfeedhobo | yup | 17:14 |
| histo | subman: So the live usb boots fine? | 17:15 |
| subman | histo, yes | 17:15 |
| delocaz | So can anyone help me with my problem? | 17:15 |
| histo | subman: it's booting the live usb in efi mode but /dev/sda doesn't have efi stuff on it at all from that boot repair info | 17:16 |
| eXcAliBuR | what should i use to have a IMAP email serv running on ubuntu 12 | 17:16 |
| mitIII | salve | 17:16 |
| pasquale | film 2013 ita | 17:16 |
| cornfeedhobo | jain kubuntu | 17:16 |
| histo | subman: also sda is partitioned using msdos mbr instead of gpt and there is no fat32 efi partition | 17:17 |
| delocaz | Anyone? | 17:17 |
| mitIII | si | 17:17 |
| subman | histo, so I guess the default install does not work properly with 12.04? We just chose to erase the disk and install Ubuntu | 17:17 |
| histo | subman: It's supposed to according to that uefi link from ubottu right? Although I believe it says something about 12.10 having more efi fixes | 17:18 |
| subman | histo, actually the uefi ubuntu page says 12.04.02 and 12.10 should handle this all automatically | 17:19 |
| BluesKaj | delocaz, SiS "graphics card ? are you sure , run lspci | grep VGA and pastebin the out put pls | 17:19 |
| delocaz | BluesKaj: How do I get to a terminal from a live CD that won't load the GUI | 17:20 |
| theadmin | delocaz: Ctrl-Alt-F2, but I suggest you not use Ubuntu on such old hardware. There're better options. | 17:20 |
| delocaz | theadmin: That's why I said *L*ubuntu :) | 17:21 |
| subman | histo, so this uefi stuff really is a nightmare | 17:21 |
| theadmin | delocaz: Oh, sorry, I joined not so long ago and didn't see | 17:21 |
| Random832 | hey, question | 17:21 |
| pasquale | film una famiglia perfetta | 17:21 |
| BluesKaj | delocaz, you're in the tty , just run the command | 17:22 |
| theadmin | delocaz: Aaaaanyway, if you can't run X on the livecd you can use the alternate CD to install (with 12.10, hold Shift during boot and select textmode install, can't quite recall where it was) | 17:22 |
| Random832 | i get some weird mouse lag - like, when i start dragging, it doesn't properly pick up the drag until like half a second later | 17:22 |
| === lukas_ is now known as Guest85111 | ||
| histo | subman: yes. It's even worse with 32bit efi | 17:22 |
| Random832 | so instead of dragging from the point i clicked on it drags from whatever the mouse was over when it kicked in | 17:22 |
| Random832 | any way to figure out why it's doing this? | 17:22 |
| histo | subman: I would create the paritioning my self. ensure that the usb is booting in efi mode. You can tell by the grub screen if it's graphical or text mode when the usb boots. | 17:22 |
| subman | histo, not really installable anymore by the average person now. | 17:23 |
| wilee-nilee | delocaz, the alternate is now a net install. http://www.ubuntu.com/download/desktop/alternative-downloads | 17:23 |
| histo | subman: it's new. With each new version of ubuntu it will get better. Like 13.04 etc... | 17:23 |
| histo | subman: and people don't understand it completely | 17:23 |
| delocaz | Where is the | key on an English keyboard or how do I change the layout | 17:23 |
| subman | histo, yes but I need hardware running now | 17:23 |
| NewbieBodhi | any codeblocks users here? | 17:24 |
| theadmin | delocaz: It's supposed to be the same key as \, but on the second level (Shift) | 17:24 |
| delocaz | and \ is... where? :) | 17:24 |
| Random832 | delocaz: it's near the enter and backspace keys | 17:24 |
| TheCrownedFox | Howdy! So I have a script that I made being created in /etc/profile.d every time I login, and I'm not quite sure how to go about getting rid of it anymore. where should I be looking? | 17:24 |
| delocaz | Thanks | 17:24 |
| Random832 | exact position varies depending on keyboard especially with international layouts | 17:24 |
| Random832 | what is your physical keyboard layout? | 17:24 |
| theadmin | delocaz: err, well: http://i.imgur.com/pNrmwFQ.png | 17:24 |
| Random832 | like, on UK it's equivalent to the #/~ key i think | 17:25 |
| delocaz | On Danish keyboards it's Alt and the key next to + | 17:25 |
| wilee-nilee | NewbieBodhi, The channel works with you stating an actual problem. ;) | 17:25 |
| kevin^| | hey all. i have a question regarding automounts. so, i have an sshfs in /etc/fstab that when i boot my computer it goes "Error mounting /x/y/z. Press M for manual recovery or S to skip", so I press S to skip, but everything gets mounted properly as soon as i do 'sudo mount -a' .. any thoughts? | 17:25 |
| histo | subman: try 13.04 | 17:25 |
| Random832 | ...right no i mean i would say which key on your keyboard is the same physical key as \ on US | 17:25 |
| delocaz | Okay, it's next to Z | 17:25 |
| subman | histo, well the rest of the fix seems beyond my capabilities. | 17:25 |
| Random832 | ah, no, the one next to Z is a different one | 17:25 |
| Random832 | try your '/* key next to enter | 17:26 |
| Random832 | (if the one next to z works, great for you, but that key doesn't physically exist on US keyboards) | 17:26 |
| Random832 | and some US keyboard layout software may not support it | 17:26 |
| NewbieBodhi | I'd like to change the terminal codeblocks is using for the run-command. It wants to use xterm, but i have no xterm installed, and don't want to install it. I'd like it to use terminology | 17:26 |

| musiek | ubottu thx i try fix it | 17:29 |
| ubottu | musiek: I am only a bot, please don't think I'm intelligent :) | 17:29 |
| theadmin | delocaz: Yeah, the one next to Z seems to be added as extra, not sure I've selected the right keyboard model :/ Anyway, it shouldn't even be there. | 17:30 |
| subman | histo, I'd love to but I dont' have a whole bunch of time | 17:30 |
| musiek | ubottu ok but u know more as me | 17:30 |

| histo | subman: yes there are a lot of people that don't want to read or understand it. | 17:31 |
| delocaz | wilee-nilee: Yesterday I tried the alternate installer for Xubuntu, and after installation, it gave me a garbled screen with a cursor | 17:31 |

| smartcamhelp | the thing is when i install smartcam , and while opening it , it give some error to load insmod and chmod 666 (/dev/videoX) and files are not found | 18:02 |
| spacedementia87 | Ok I have made another bootable USB. Checked md5 before writing it | 18:02 |
| spacedementia87 | Shall I erase old install and try again? | 18:02 |

| mariorz | how is git at 4.9.4? | 18:41 |
| wilee-nilee | spacedementia87, If it is 64 bit I would use that, however that probably isn't the problem. Have you googled that computer and the release, and or the hardware specs? | 18:41 |
| BluesKaj | !git | mariorz | 18:41 |
| ubottu | mariorz: git is a distributed revision control/software code management project created by Linus Torvalds. For more information, see http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Git_(software) | 18:41 |
| spacedementia87 | I have, it isn't very widely used so I don't fin much. have seen videos of people running xbmc on it though | 18:42 |

| BluesKaj | do you rather | 18:42 |
| mariorz | yes, why? | 18:43 |
| BluesKaj | ok then finish installing theose git depends | 18:43 |
| wilee-nilee | spacedementia87, You could try the mini cd netinstall, however if a regular install gets stuck that may be a inherent problem, I would look up the hardware with the ubuntu release you are trying. | 18:43 |
| mariorz | OkropNick: how does that follow? | 18:44 |

| spacedementia87 | ok i'll report back what I find | 18:44 |

| rymate1234 | BluesKaj: does nothing | 19:35 |

| BluesKaj | rymate1234: try a relogin | 19:35 |
| rymate1234 | I just did one | 19:36 |
| rymate1234 | 5 minutes ago | 19:36 |
| BluesKaj | then reboot | 19:36 |
| rymate1234 | why should I need to reboot? | 19:36 |

| rymate1234 | BluesKaj: I wouldn't expect kdesudo to work when I haven't explicitly installed it | 19:38 |

| FMKilo | Can anyone help me with amazon instant video on chrome? | 19:40 |
| FMKilo | amazon support told me to do exactly what I had already done. | 19:41 |
| FMKilo | then I had to install firefox to prove that the same issue persisted | 19:41 |
| Ghost_562 | fmkilo, post the question/error, if someone knows/has the answer they will help. | 19:41 |
| spacedementia87 | Ok I used that new USB creator tool I was recommended and I am getting stuck at the same place | 19:42 |
| Ghost_562 | spacedementia, you get any error? | 19:42 |
| FMKilo | An error occurred and your player could not be updated.This is likely because your Flash Player or Browser needs to be updated.This update is required to play back this video. | 19:42 |
| spacedementia87 | no just see the spinning busy cursor again | 19:42 |
| Ghost_562 | you give it any time to think? | 19:43 |
| Ghost_562 | FMkilo, flash up to date? | 19:43 |
| spacedementia87 | It has been like that for 5 minutes now | 19:43 |
| FMKilo | yeah | 19:43 |
| Nvveen | tomatobros, gsmartcontrol does the same thing again now, the short self-test keeps hanging at 90% | 19:43 |
| FMKilo | updated it today | 19:43 |
| Ghost_562 | FMKilo, updated browser? | 19:43 |
| rymate1234 | BluesKaj: surprisingly, kdesudo now works after I installed the package. No reboot required | 19:43 |
| FMKilo | updated today. | 19:43 |
| Ghost_562 | spacedementia, any black screen, maybe usb is loose? | 19:44 |
| tomatobros | Nvveen is /dev/sdb mounted ? | 19:44 |
| Ghost_562 | FMKilo, any system updates pushed? | 19:44 |
| OerHeks | FMKilo, known issue, see this tread > http://ubuntuforums.org/showthread.php?t=2121086&page=2 solution i do not recommend: downgrade flash | 19:44 |
| spacedementia87 | No no black screen, Still showing the "Who are you?" screen | 19:44 |
| BluesKaj | rymate1234: i never had to install kdesudo ,, i've been on kde for yrs so ne need | 19:44 |
| BluesKaj | no need | 19:44 |
| spacedementia87 | USB is in fine. Would be quite a coincidence if it locked up at the same place every time | 19:44 |
| tomatobros | FMKilo try google chrome with pepper flash it may help | 19:44 |
| Ghost_562 | spacedementia, is your hash the same as the one on the ubuntu website? | 19:45 |
| Nvveen_ | tomatobros, gsmartcontrol does the same thing again now, the short self-test keeps hanging at 90% | 19:45 |
| FMKilo | pepper flash doesn't work at all. it tells you to disable it. | 19:45 |
| spacedementia87 | I will check now, but it was last time I checked | 19:45 |
| rymate1234 | BluesKaj: well I only installed it today, and I didn't install kdesudo | 19:46 |
| tomatobros | Nvveen_ if /dev/sdb mounted try umount and run test again | 19:46 |
| tomatobros | btw short test is useless if disks have bad sectors | 19:47 |
| BluesKaj | kdesudo is just command for root permissions for guis , sudo is the same as ubuntu in the terminal, rymate1234 | 19:47 |
| spacedementia87 | hmm I can't find the hash on the ubuntu site now | 19:47 |
| ade | bn | 19:47 |
| Nvveen_ | tomatobros, /dev/sdb isn't mounted, fdisk doesn't even list /dev/sdb | 19:47 |
| Ghost_562 | spacedementia, can you enter anything on the "Who are you" Screen? | 19:47 |
| rymate1234 | BluesKaj: so why didn't you just tell me to run sudo systemsettings? | 19:47 |
| spacedementia87 | I have enetered all the stuff on that screen and clicked continue | 19:48 |
| spacedementia87 | that is when it locks up | 19:48 |
| FMKilo | rolling back flash worked. Not to say that I like to run older versions of flash, but that version is still quite new. | 19:48 |
| BluesKaj | because system settings is a gui , rymate1234 | 19:48 |
| rymate1234 | and sudo systemsettings works perfectly | 19:48 |
| Ghost_562 | on the username, try removing capital letters if it has any. | 19:48 |
| rymate1234 | also kdesudo is is a gui for sudo | 19:48 |
| BluesKaj | it's the same as gksudo for gnome/unity | 19:48 |
| rymate1234 | yes | 19:49 |
| spacedementia87 | nop no caps in there | 19:49 |
| FMKilo | I have an interesting question that's not related to my previous one. | 19:49 |
| rymate1234 | all wrappers for sudo | 19:49 |
| aguitel | how install ubuntu server edition over 10.04 desktop edition? | 19:49 |
| BluesKaj | !kdesudo | rymate1234 | 19:49 |
| ubottu | rymate1234: In KDE use « kdesudo <program> » to run graphical applications with root privileges when you have to. Never just use "sudo"! | See http://psychocats.net/ubuntu/graphicalsudo to find out why. | 19:49 |
| Ghost_562 | aguite1, format the drive then install? | 19:50 |
| FMKilo | should you gksudo to gedit a file in the /root/ directory? | 19:50 |
| Ghost_562 | spacedementia, does it "lock up" or not allow you to go forward.? | 19:50 |
| spacedementia87 | well I have clicked continue, I can still move the mouse, but nothing is happening | 19:50 |
| rymate1234 | "Well, to be perfectly honest, most of the time it isn't. For a lot of applications, you can run them the improper way—using sudo for graphical applications and see no adverse side effects." | 19:51 |
| aguitel | Ghost_562, is the only way? | 19:51 |
| Bubba_bubblegum | woooow | 19:51 |
| Bubba_bubblegum | 1714 | 19:51 |
| Bubba_bubblegum | thats a big audience | 19:51 |
| Ghost_562 | aguite1, if you want to remove ubuntu and install server edition, yes. | 19:51 |
| tomatobros | Nvveen_ don't use fdisk use lvdisplay lvscan | 19:52 |
| Ghost_562 | spacedementia87, try picking a different username? | 19:52 |
| spacedementia87 | should that make a difference? | 19:52 |
| Ghost_562 | spacedementia87, it might be what is holding you back, since the system doesn't freeze. | 19:53 |
| spacedementia87 | ok, I will try | 19:53 |
| spacedementia87 | it is just xbmc though | 19:53 |
| spacedementia87 | wouldn't have thought that would be a problem | 19:53 |
| BluesKaj | rymate1234: keep it up and you'll soon see why kdesudo/gksudo are important for guis | 19:53 |

| cravip1 | the_eye_: but i am not able to boot up !! | 19:58 |
| maxb | git-core is an old obsolete name, you probably want git | 19:58 |

| cravip1 | the_eye_: any help other than that ? | 20:00 |
| Ari-Yang | oh, and sudo aptitude purge fglrx should uninstall the driver completely, yes? I want to uninstall before installing a diff version | 20:00 |
| the_eye_ | cravip1, Sorry I thought that you have cups problems. Try a live cd to check mem with memtest and disk with S.M.A.R.T. | 20:00 |
| maxb | fxn: It's at this point that I'd just give up on GUI stuff as unnecessary complications and just jump to the command line :-) | 20:00 |
| fxn | maxb: totally, I was wondering since I normally use Lubuntu or Macs and this is the first time I use a modern stock Ubuntu | 20:01 |
| BluesKaj | fxn: what about git-clone? | 20:02 |
| fxn | BluesKaj: no items | 20:02 |
| maxb | I imagine software center is supposed to work. It usually just sits there wasting my time if I try to open it, though, so I just use the command line tools | 20:02 |
| fxn | let me change my sources server just in case | 20:03 |
| zerobyte | I got all my Ubuntu's clients joined into an MS Active Directory using Likewise. How can i do to mount a SMB/CIFS share using my AD credentials (user/pass) without have to specify it? | 20:03 |
| spacedementia87 | Ok I tried a new user name and i get exactly the same again | 20:03 |
| BluesKaj | unfortunately I'm on windows atm , helping wifey with her game stuff , so I have no acces to package management references | 20:04 |
| fxn | nah, with sources set to "main server" the packages are still not found | 20:05 |
| spacedementia87 | so i guess it isn't because of the username | 20:05 |
| fxn | is the Software Center the place were one is supposed to manage packages nowadays? guess I am missing something, if you can't find "curl" this is useless | 20:09 |

| ubottu | Usually, there is no single "best" application to perform a given task. It's up to you to choose, depending on your preferences, features you require, and other factors. Do NOT take polls in the channel. If you insist on getting people's opinions, ask BestBot in #ubuntu-bots. | 20:10 |

| Ari-Yang | sudo aptitude purge fglrx should completely uninstall it yes? and installing another version of fglrx will replace any current ones that are already installed, correct? | 20:28 |

| tlivingston | I'm new to all this Ubuntu stuff. I downloaded xUbuntu, and have just one question. How do I add shared drives that are currently on the network? | 20:32 |
| Volstar | it says: lios package is going to be reinstalled, but package cannot be found | 20:33 |
| Volstar | it displays it whenever I want to unstall or uninstall something using apt-get | 20:33 |
| Volstar | any help will be appreciated | 20:33 |
| spacedementia87 | after typing in my info into the "who are you?" box during install the process stops. I click continue but the cursor stays a spinning busy symbol and the setup never continues | 20:34 |

| Volstar | apt-get stopped working, because lios didn't run at all | 20:36 |
| maxb | spacedementia87: I just tried out the Ubuntu 12.10 live installer but I couldn't find any useful way to extract extra info on what it's doing. I usually haven't used it, prefering other install methods. Sorry, I don't think I can help | 20:36 |
| BluesKaj | tlivingston: open the file manager , the drives should be listed in the places entry area. | 20:36 |
| jrib | Volstar: pastebin what happens when you try to install it now | 20:36 |
| zheoffec | tlivingston: do you have samba installed? if unsure, try `sudo apt-get install samba` | 20:36 |
| Volstar | jrib: I can paste it here, but it's in Polish | 20:36 |
| spacedementia87 | wat are the other insall methods? | 20:37 |
| jrib | Volstar: prefix your command with LANGUAGE=C LANG=C (and use a pastebin) | 20:37 |
| Volstar | jrib: it's something like: lios package is going to be reinstalled, but package cannot be found | 20:37 |
| zheoffec | BluesKaj: xubuntu uses thunar, not nautilus | 20:37 |
| Volstar | jrib: ok | 20:37 |
| Volstar | jrib: E: The package lios needs to be reinstalled, but I can't find an archive for it. | 20:38 |

| tlivingston | So that cannot be done in xUbuntu? | 20:38 |
| BluesKaj | zheoffec: doesn't thunar have places area , and I use the expression file manager , not nautilus | 20:38 |
| Volstar | jrib: sorry, it was: sudo apt-get purge lios | 20:38 |
| jrib | Volstar: pastebin what happens when you try to install it now | 20:38 |
| zheoffec | tlivingston: do you have samba installed? if unsure, try `sudo apt-get install samba` | 20:38 |
| Volstar | jrib: it's the same | 20:38 |
| zheoffec | i dont think so BluesKaj | 20:39 |
| jrib | Volstar: what command did you run | 20:39 |
| Volstar | jrib: oh, wait... when I'm trying to install it it says: | 20:39 |
| tlivingston | zheoffec: I do not.. | 20:39 |
| BluesKaj | zheoffec: don't think what ? | 20:39 |
| tlivingston | zheoffec: sudo apt-get samba ? | 20:40 |

| zheoffec | tlivingston: yes, and smbfs as well - `sudo apt-get install samba smbfs` | 20:40 |
| BluesKaj | tlivingston: as he suggests , there may be a way to find the drives using the networking option i your file manager /thunar , perhaps smb or samba | 20:40 |

| Volstar | jrib: I will | 20:43 |
| zheoffec | and install `smbfs`, tlivingston | 20:43 |
| jrib | Volstar: did you make sure to satisfy the dependencies? What are they? | 20:43 |
| BluesKaj | zheoffec: network shortcuts ? | 20:43 |
| Volstar | jrib: yes, there were two of them, but now I can't use apt-get anymore | 20:44 |
| tlivingston | zheoffec: E: Package 'smbfs' has no installation candidate | 20:44 |
| zheoffec | BluesKaj: It doesnt show network locations on the sidebar | 20:44 |
| zheoffec | ok | 20:44 |
| maxb | spacedementia87: There are assorted install methods that are based on d-i rather than ubiquity. ubiquity is *supposed* to be the easy option, but I come from enough of a debian and sysadmin background that I prefer d-i. Chief among them was the alternate install CD, but that was dropped after precise | 20:44 |
| leolove | Anyone with AMD/ATI cards? | 20:44 |
| mac_ | hello, is histo arround? | 20:45 |
| spacedementia87 | oh ok | 20:45 |
| subman | leolove, yes | 20:45 |
| BluesKaj | does it have networking options , zheoffec , that what i meant in my last post | 20:45 |
| spacedementia87 | so I guess no ubuntu for me then | 20:45 |
| maxb | I *think* last time I did an install it was quantal, and I booted the netboot installer from a USB stick | 20:45 |
| jrib | Volstar: you can use "dpkg --purge --force-remove-reinstreq packagename" to remove it. Ideally you would read the removal and install scripts to make sure they don't leave junk you don't want around | 20:45 |
| Volstar | jrib: thanks, I will give it a try | 20:45 |
| leolove | subman I downgraded to 12.04 on someone's suggestion. I would like to know if repo drivers are god or latest from amd website? | 20:45 |
| subman | leolove, they worked for me | 20:46 |
| zheoffec | tlivingston: see this page - https://wiki.archlinux.org/index.php/Thunar#Using_Thunar_to_browse_remote_locations | 20:46 |
| leolove | repo one? | 20:46 |
| tlivingston | zheoffec: I now have a network folder, which shows all my devices, which is great! But, E: Package 'smbfs' has no installation candidate. And it will not allow me into the networked drives, asks me which application I would like to use. | 20:46 |
| subman | leolove, website that is | 20:46 |
| leolove | subman you mean the latest drivers? | 20:46 |
| subman | leolove, yup | 20:46 |
| Volstar | jrib: it doesn't work | 20:46 |
| leolove | subman I have tried from 13.1 till 13.3 beta. The problem is I face terrible tearing | 20:47 |
| jrib | Volstar: you need to pastebin what you typed and the full output | 20:47 |
| leolove | only at the top of screen about 1 inch area. | 20:47 |
| subman | leolove, from the repos did not work for me at all. Open source was terrible. | 20:47 |
| Volstar | jrib: pastebin to imageshack or something? | 20:47 |
| zheoffec | tlivingston: i know its for arch, but the packages are the same i think. after installed, restart the file manager and there should be your drives on the side | 20:47 |
| leolove | subman agreed. Opensource is never good for me either. | 20:47 |
| jrib | Volstar: paste.ubuntu.com | 20:47 |

| spacedementia87 | after typing in my infor into the "who are you?" screen of the installer and clicking contnue the installer doesn't move forward. The screen stays the same and the cursor stays on the busy spinning symbol | 20:54 |

| spacedementia87 | it is the ASROCK E350M1 | 20:54 |
| BluesKaj | spacedementia87: does your machine have windows 8 installed ? | 20:54 |
| spacedementia87 | nope, no OS installed at all | 20:54 |
| leolove | spacedementia87 I am ready to assist you step by step. Are you able to boot live mode? | 20:55 |
| Ben64 | spacedementia87: you should disable secureboot and/or turn on bios emulation | 20:55 |
| cravip | stuck at starting cups printing server at boot up. Ubuntu 64 bit 12.04 | 20:55 |
| mleigh | spacedementia87, any signs of life like leds blicking etc? | 20:55 |
| BluesKaj | did you create an ext4 partition for linux on it , spacedementia87 ? | 20:55 |
| spacedementia87 | A regular blink from the LED nothing else. I will check the BIS for secure boot. THink it is off though | 20:55 |
| spacedementia87 | What might bios bios emulation look like in the BIOS program? | 20:56 |
| spacedementia87 | Yes I did create ext4 partition and made mountpoint / | 20:56 |
| Ben64 | spacedementia87: it should say 'bios emulation' i think that board is EFI | 20:56 |
| spacedementia87 | i see no bios emulation option | 20:57 |
| mleigh | spacedementia87, for the "regular led" blinking, do you mean the harddrive led? | 20:57 |
| zheoffec | tlivingston: I dont know what could be the problem then. | 20:57 |
| spacedementia87 | yeah. Just regular flash every second or so | 20:57 |
| zheoffec | tlivingston: ask for help on #samba | 20:57 |
| nurow | hmmm, I'm having an issue where graphics are performing very slow under nvidia-current (304). In the past, before I reformatted, my graphics were running great and smooth on (12.10). Now I'm on 13.04 if that makes a difference | 20:58 |
| Volstar | jrib: it works, thank you very much | 20:58 |
| mleigh | spacedementia87, can you hear drive doing anything? | 20:58 |
| spacedementia87 | nope | 20:58 |

| ubottu | nurow, please see my private message | 20:59 |
| mleigh | spacedementia87, this is just a guess but it sounds like ubuntu might have a probem with your harddrive controller | 20:59 |
| spacedementia87 | I used to have that but after disabling some features in the UEFI setup it worked better | 21:00 |
| zheoffec | spacedmentia87: does your HD use the SATA or PATA interface? | 21:00 |
| spacedementia87 | SATA | 21:00 |

| zheoffec | spacedmenti87: instead of going to the installer, go to a live session and see if you can create folders on your HD and delete them | 21:04 |
| spacedementia87 | ok | 21:04 |
| zheoffec | spacedmentia87: just keep it at IDE | 21:05 |

| zheoffec | oh sorry i didnt read dod3773's comment fully | 21:13 |
| dodo3773 | sudoair: Oh I guess it may be hard cause no internet on box... | 21:13 |

| spacedementia87 | I have tried deleting all partitions and trying again | 21:14 |
| dodo3773 | sudoair: Does this tell you anything: dmesg | grep eth0 | 21:14 |

| mikerussel_ | apt-get install upnp-router-control stuck on "ldconfig deferred processing now taking place" wtf? | 21:20 |
| spacedementia87 | dodo3773 when I run the live setup for 12.10 and I go through all the windows and type my information into the "who are you?" box then click continue the setup stalls. I can still move the mouse, but setup doesn't display the next window and all the boxes are greyed out | 21:21 |
| zheoffec | oxys: if lubuntu is still too slow for your machine, then you can install arch instead | 21:22 |
| dodo3773 | sudoair: hmm. can you bring the interface up or see it as being up? sudo ip link set dev eth0 up | 21:23 |
| dodo3773 | spacedementia87: Weird. Maybe it's a bug in the installer | 21:24 |
| sudoair | i just ran that command and nothing happened | 21:24 |
| spacedementia87 | I have tried 3 different images | 21:24 |
| oxys | zheoffec, hmpf, okay. I think i buy a new office pc at the end of the month, because 3000 Sempron is the old PC from my father... A new one is cheap enough... 200 euro i guess... thank you | 21:24 |
| Guest68929 | for the first time i am trying to burn a disc and the computer isnt reading the disc? do i need to do something special to mount the drive? | 21:24 |

| Guest68929 | yes | 21:25 |
| dodo3773 | spacedementia87: 3 different images? All recent ones? New installer could be the cause | 21:26 |
| oxys | zheoffec, good idea, or i used the old one as a router for, we call this in germany, "freifunk". | 21:26 |
| spacedementia87 | yeah all 12.10 | 21:26 |

| oxys | Guest68929, Did you start brasero or did you do nothing (only the cd i the device)? | 21:27 |

| leolove | help me with ati drivers please :( | 21:32 |
| maxb | spacedementia87: How good is your internet connection? You might consider using the netboot installer | 21:32 |
| oxys | zheoffec, hmm, last idea, i guess that the pc is to slow, because i have 300 frames in glxgears only. And the Taskmanager says that the cpu is average at 70% up to 100% while during simple tasks, like java chat or scrolling websites. | 21:32 |
| oxys | leolove, same problem here ;) | 21:32 |
| zheoffec | oxys: yeah, I guess you wont be able to do much with that | 21:32 |
| ubu80 | if i update my system (12.10) to (13.04 beta) what should i do when the offical release is dropped. just update or reinstall? | 21:33 |
| auronandace | !beta | ubu80 | 21:33 |
| ubottu | ubu80: If you install a development version of Ubuntu Raring and keep up with package updates, then you will be upgraded to the official release of 13.04 when it comes out. To make sure, type « sudo apt-get update && sudo apt-get dist-upgrade » in a terminal. | 21:33 |

| Dionist | Dodo: I'm not sure what chroot is exactly. I'm using an install CD to access via live boot. | 21:40 |
| dodo3773 | Dionist: From the livecd you can chroot into your existing installation and reinstall grub from there if you need to | 21:40 |

| wilee-nilee | Dionist, I don't think a grub install is what the answer is, there is the bootloader and the grub in the OS. | 21:58 |
| maxb | spacedementia87: I think you should be able to just download the netboot mini.iso, feed it into usb-creator and boot from the resulting USB stick | 21:59 |

| subman | moko1, yup. No issues at all | 22:22 |

| subman | moko1, Note that the Ubuntu has issues with the APU . We are using another graphics card so it did not matter | 22:23 |

| spacedementia87 | the great big multiselect thing | 22:24 |
| idck | whats the difference between ubuntu desktop and ubuntu server | 22:24 |
| moko1 | thanks. ill wait for the official release | 22:25 |
| maxb | spacedementia87: I don't remember exactly what options it gives you - you might not need to select anything at this point. Or if it mentions anything 'standard' you probably want that | 22:25 |
| subman | idck, Desktop is optimized for general use. Has the whole GUI. Server is optimized to serve files/services. No GUI | 22:25 |
| maxb | idck: Absolutely nothing, other than the selection of packages you get guided to install by default | 22:26 |
| subman | moko1, you have an issue? | 22:26 |
| spacedementia87 | hm, i thought it would let me choose muliple. I tapped enter on print server and the installation continued | 22:27 |
| idck | oh, so it doesnt mean like i can run websites off my computer? | 22:27 |
| spacedementia87 | whoops, maybe I need to start again | 22:27 |
| subman | idck, yes, with the server edition you can. | 22:27 |
| subman | idck, actually with both you can | 22:27 |
| idck | subman, i guess its just easier with the server addition, of course? | 22:28 |
| maxb | spacedementia87: It's probably fine, you can always install or uninstall bits later | 22:28 |
| subman | idck, No, not easier, more efficient | 22:28 |
| spacedementia87 | guess so | 22:28 |

| duhamel | maybe i need to fresh install and try those steps again without messing with anything else. | 23:02 |
| leolove | duhamel what is the issue? | 23:02 |
| duhamel | trying to get wireless to work on ubuntu 12.10 i have updated kernel and put rt3290.bin into firmware but when i lsmod | grep rt3290 nothing shows up | 23:02 |
| duhamel | it worked at first but after reboot its greyed out in drop down and says wireless device not ready | 23:03 |
| namaste | you can leave the old kernel, for me it works fine with: Linux sirius 3.8.7-030807-generic #201304121430 SMP Fri Apr 12 18:32:00 UTC 2013 x86_64 x86_64 x86_64 GNU/Linux ... and these modules loaded: rt2800pci,rt2800lib,rt2x00pci,rt2x00lib | 23:03 |
| olavosbike | ? | 23:03 |
| namaste | but i'm on 12.04 | 23:03 |

| leolove | duhamel your card is listed in lspci? | 23:04 |
| sgf | Where can I choose which disk drive to install Ubuntu to? I'm booting it from a flash drive right now | 23:04 |
| olavosbike | hello people | 23:04 |
| dominik_ | yo | 23:04 |
| leolove | sgf first click install to drive icon | 23:05 |
| wilee-nilee | sgf, The something other option in the install process is the custom install. | 23:05 |
| sgf | I didn't see one, it automatically assumed that I wanted to install it to a different drive, it mentioned something about there already being an OS on it (I have Windows 7 on it) | 23:06 |
| duhamel | leolove: yeah | 23:06 |
| wilee-nilee | sgf, Have you resized the W7 with its disk manager leaving a unallocated space? | 23:06 |

| lolyp0p | depending on the version of ubuntu, last ones or not? ubuntu only(+few programs) or full computer-usage? | 23:12 |
| wilee-nilee | sgf, depends on what you plan to do, it can be resized, and you will need a swap if you want to hibernate. | 23:12 |

| DRayX | Anybody here familiar with configuring Ubuntu as a NAT router? | 23:13 |
| sgf | If I want to make a partition for Ubuntu on an HD that my computer will automatically boot from, what do I need these options to be? | 23:13 |
| duhamel | sfg: give it 20480 - 40960mb but it should work on as little as 5108mb | 23:13 |
| sgf | Okay | 23:14 |
| vlt | DRayX: goole MASQUERADE | 23:14 |
| vlt | 23:14 | |
| rAg3 | duhamel: did it work ? | 23:14 |
| duhamel | actually 10240mb would be the minimum you should use | 23:14 |
| rAg3 | duhamel: your wireless | 23:14 |
| sgf | And should I just go with all the other default settings? | 23:15 |
| eXcAliBuR | I need help setting up mail serv with ubuntu please | 23:15 |
| DRayX | @vlt: just to double check, does ip forwarding work with two interfaces on the same adapter? | 23:16 |
| duhamel | rAg3 it did for a minute then i rebooted and it shows up in dropdown but it's greyed out and says device not ready | 23:16 |
| lolyp0p | sgf, they are pretty straigh forward, so yes, | 23:16 |
| vlt | DRayX: Yes. | 23:16 |
| DRayX | Sweet | 23:16 |
| namaste | duhamel, you can check if wifi is activated or blocked by the hw switch with: rfkill list | 23:16 |
| sgf | Shouldn't I change "use as" to "EFI boot partition" though? | 23:16 |
| Doug666 | Hi guise... do you know how can I configure UFW to prevent dns leaking or ip leaking (forward all traffic through Tun0) on the VPN | 23:17 |
| wilee-nilee | sgf, set the mount as / and make the size | 23:17 |

| sgf | I have the size, but I also want Ubuntu to be bootable from the HD at startup, so should I still leave these settings as they are or do I need to change them? | 23:18 |

| duhamel | sorry about the repeat post i just know your eyes are probably on 10 conversations and i didn't highlight you properly | 23:18 |

| wisey | but I don't think that I created the right installer for this laptop on my Windows machine. Can you help me get an Ubuntu installer deployed to my usb flash drive that is compatible with this machine? | 23:20 |
| wisey | I only have a Windows machine available | 23:20 |
| wilee-nilee | sgf, Show us that gui when you have set the mount to ? and sized the partition and just make sure that HD is first read in the bios. | 23:21 |
| lolyp0p | anyone knows a cross platform program(ubuntu and windows)(open source if possible) "remote script via ssh" (write a script on this computer, and remotly through ssh lunch it on a ubuntu ssh server), | 23:21 |
| lolyp0p | ? | 23:21 |
| wilee-nilee | sgf,Sorry mount as / | 23:21 |

| breed | Hey, guys, I'm having some trouble with the Ubuntu Software Center for Ubuntu 12.10 | 23:24 |
| breed | This error could be caused by required additional software packages which are missing or not installable. Furthermore there could be a conflict between software packages which are not allowed to be installed at the same time. | 23:24 |
| duhamel | so i might be doing a fresh install? starting over? | 23:24 |
| wilee-nilee | sgf, cool sda1 is the windows boot partition and generally about 205MB just checking. ;) | 23:25 |

| sgf | Hey again | 23:30 |
| _bady | root don't login?why? | 23:30 |
| wilee-nilee | sgf, If you want help from a specific user or communicate with one use the nicks, you can tab complete them. | 23:31 |
| DRayX | @vlt: oh, one more quick question, since the machine behind ubuntu nat wont be using dhcp, what is the easiest way to configure DNS? Just point at 8.8.8.8 and 8.8.4.4, or is there an easy way to get the default DNS servers more automatically (so that the ones configured on the real dhcp router would be uesd) | 23:31 |
| ignarps | _bady, you should use a sudo with a user account. by default root has no password set for login | 23:32 |
| wilee-nilee | _bady, ? | 23:32 |
| ignarps | _bady> root don't login?why? | 23:32 |
| === nathan is now known as Guest65901 | ||
| vlt | DRayX: Is this an Ubuntu question? | 23:33 |
| _bady | but I have a root password | 23:33 |
| wilee-nilee | _bady, In ubuntu? | 23:34 |
| DRayX | Sort of, I guess my question is if there is a way to easily set up a dns server on the ubuntu box that would forward all requests to it's dns servers | 23:34 |
| _bady | yes | 23:34 |
| wilee-nilee | _bady, Besides the user password? | 23:34 |
| DRayX | Or (less related to ubuntu, more to general networking) if it is even necessary. | 23:34 |

| Godel | Hi.. Does anybody have experience playing BluRay discs on Ubuntu? | 23:36 |
| sgf | Sorry, timed out | 23:36 |
| sgf | Now I'm getting this error | 23:37 |
| sgf | http://i.imgur.com/ZtRzsv6.png | 23:37 |
| _bady | i created root password,but now i don't login | 23:37 |
| wilee-nilee | _bady, The login is the user password, and making a root password is a bad plan. | 23:38 |
| wilee-nilee | or running in root | 23:38 |
| maxb | Making a root password isn't always a bad plan, but it's almost always unnecessary | 23:38 |
| wilee-nilee | maxb, In ubuntu it is not needed and can mess up the system, this is not debian, or others that use a rot password | 23:39 |
| wilee-nilee | rot* | 23:39 |
| maxb | No, it cannot "mess up the system". It can open an avenue of attack that really doesn't need to be open, but that's not the same thing | 23:40 |
| sgf | How do I get past this root file system error? | 23:40 |
| _bady | command "su" don't use fail,so i don't root login | 23:40 |
| wilee-nilee | maxb, Itself no but a user can. | 23:40 |
| wilee-nilee | _bady, Root logins are not supported here. | 23:41 |
| maxb | Godel: It's possible for older disks with simpler copy protection, but only with a file of cracked keys downloaded from slightly dubious websites. It's utterly impossible for discs using newer encryption keys or forms | 23:41 |
| DRayX | @vlt: Looking around it looks like I could use dnsmasq or bind to set up an automatic dns forwarder, any advice on this front? | 23:42 |
| Godel | maxb, I purchased this movie legally and I can't watch it on my computer? Right? | 23:42 |
| maxb | Godel: Right. This is the madness of the movie industry. | 23:42 |
| vlt | DRayX: bind would be overkill, dnsmasq should do fine. | 23:42 |
| sgf | Anyone? | 23:43 |
| _bady | @sgf | 23:44 |
| wilee-nilee | sgf, post an image or errors in imagebin or pastebin. | 23:44 |
| Godel | Okay. Thanks! | 23:44 |
| sgf | http://i.imgur.com/ZtRzsv6.png | 23:44 |
| DRayX | @vlt: Cool, that was my assumption, last time I configured bind (long time ago) it was painful | 23:44 |
| maxb | It is a sad and strange world we live in where legally purchased movies have an inferior user experience to piracy | 23:44 |
| wilee-nilee | sgf, YOU missed the mount ? in the gui you showed. | 23:44 |
| wilee-nilee | sgf, sorry mount is / | 23:44 |
| sgf | Where do I put that? | 23:45 |
| sgf | Mount point? | 23:45 |
| wilee-nilee | sgf, You showed a gui when starting in the is a mount tab, you choose / | 23:45 |
| sgf | Okay, thanks | 23:46 |
| maxb | Godel: It's not a solution I'm fond of, but I maintain a small Windows installation for dual booting just for bluray playing. It's not ideal, but since you generally want to play blurays full screen anyway, not totally obnoxious | 23:46 |
| wilee-nilee | sgf, mount point is / http://i.imgur.com/Yo0WlDY.png | 23:46 |
| Godel | maxb, I actually do have a Windows installation for running some stupid programs. Didn't occur to me that I can use that. | 23:47 |
| sgf | Okay, did that, now I'm getting another error | 23:47 |
| Godel | Thanks! I will give it a shot! | 23:47 |
| Godel | Thanks a lot. :) | 23:47 |
| Godel | Ciao | 23:47 |
| sgf | Hang on | 23:47 |
| sgf | So I put / in the mount point and clicked next | 23:49 |
| sgf | http://i.imgur.com/59bFo07.png | 23:49 |
| sgf | I got this error | 23:49 |
| wilee-nilee | sgf, You asked a question earlier about efi can you say why? | 23:50 |
| wilee-nilee | sgf, For best help here as well show every gui we could have had this done long ago most likely. | 23:51 |
| sgf | I was wondering if the "type" of boot loader mattered (ext4, nfs) and EFI boot was one of them | 23:52 |
| wilee-nilee | sgf, Is this a gpt setup in general? | 23:52 |
| wilee-nilee | those are not bootloaders by the way. sgf | 23:53 |
| sgf | GPT? | 23:54 |
| duhamel | so i logged out then logged back in and my wireless works now, it doesn't work after boot though. why would this be? | 23:54 |
| wilee-nilee | sgf, Did this computer come with W8? | 23:54 |
| sheryl | i bought USB wireless network adapter and plugged it in to my netbook which has internal wireless network card also. How can I configure linux so that the USB adapter takes priority when connecting to a wireless network? | 23:54 |
| sgf | No, this is a computer I built | 23:55 |
| sgf | I have 2 HDs, one is my old one that has windows 7 on it that I never plan on using except for recovering old stuff | 23:55 |
| sheryl | Right now when I connect to a wireless network, the connection defaults to using the integrated wireless network adapter. It is weaker and nonpreferable. | 23:55 |
| sgf | I want to install Ubuntu to my second HD, the empty one | 23:55 |
| wilee-nilee | sgf, Open the original gui you have showed and imagebin it. | 23:55 |
| rAg3 | duhamel: is it working now ? | 23:56 |
| wilee-nilee | sgf, I will be glad to help you here, however you have to use my nick and follow directions, can you do that? | 23:56 |
| sgf | http://i.imgur.com/Yo0WlDY.png | 23:57 |
| sgf | Here | 23:57 |
| wilee-nilee | sgf, I will be glad to help you here, however you have to use my nick and follow directions, can you do that? | 23:58 |
| sgf | wilee-nilee: Yeah, sorry\ | 23:58 |
| wilee-nilee | sgf, lol no biggie so in the mount point set it as / and at the top in size make the partition size it is to small at this point. | 23:58 |
| sgf | Yeah, I made the partition 20478MB and put a / in the mount point | 23:59 |
| wilee-nilee | sgf, That is also the original you posted I want to see what it looks like now if different. | 23:59 |
| sgf | But then I got this error: http://i.imgur.com/59bFo07.png | 23:59 |
| sgf | Oh, it won't let me edit the partition now | 23:59 |
