[00:00] CorruptedHelix: and now you know why it can be differnt on differnt pcs [00:00] CorruptedHelix: mmc is multi media card, so I'm 95% sure you've correctly identified it. [00:00] in my opinion you should always do it no matter how stable the distro is [00:00] remember 12.04 is LTS 12.10 isnt [00:00] There's no /dev/zero, by the way [00:00] lsited on blkid [00:01] CorruptedHelix: yes.. theres most lilkely hundereds of /dev/XX things not shown. :) sionce they are not 'disk drive' type devices [00:01] look in /dev/ sometime [00:02] Basically, it should be the correct one as you typed it, correct? [00:02] 'sudo dd if=/dev/zero of=/dev/mccblk0 bs=1M' [00:02] wtf retrivin file 26 of 57 [00:03] I'll type that, then, I blame you if anything goes wrong. :p [00:03] man shred [00:03] 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] f it is updeating on it self newer told it [00:03] Erm, it still worked by the looks of it. Lucky me, because I forgot to unmount it. [00:03] wilee-nilee: I cannot find apt.sources.list.d [00:03] Should I do it again after unmount? [00:04] You dont work on mounted partions...... [00:04] it will get confused. ;) [00:05] Then I suppose it wasn't mounted after all [00:05] Okay, I did the command, I'll paste the output... [00:05] 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] you can still do the dd command... just dont try to access the device - untill you reboot.. is my suggestion [00:05] well, it should've been in line breaks, but w/e [00:06] it wrote 2 gb of zeros.. [00:06] i suggest rebooting, and repartioning the thing with gparted now. [00:06] Should I reboot into Windows or do I need to repartition in Ubuntu? [00:06] Fair enough [00:06] you answered before I asked [00:06] :p [00:06] windows may or may not work. [00:06] Well, I'll use gparted for the time being, then [00:06] <|nv|s|b|e> never do [00:06] Be right back === andrelei_ is now known as andreleite77 [00:08] s1pher, From the terminal gksuo nautilus, in the file that open click file sytem, then etc, then apt, then sources.list.d then find the files with the ppa name [00:08] gksudo* [00:09] oh ok thanks [00:09] I'm back, gparted is now scanning my devices [00:09] CorruptedHelix_: if you did a 'gksudo gparted /dev/mmc(whatever)' it would not have to scan all the drives. ;) [00:09] Oh look, looks like I left a ghost [00:09] Better fix that [00:09] dr_willis: too late [00:10] still shows an input/output error on that drive [00:10] which means it didn't work, dr_willis [00:10] wilee-nilee: Anything with quantal in it? === CorruptedHelix_ is now known as CorruptedHelix [00:11] Hi.

[00:14] CorruptedHelix: gparted gave an io error when you partioned then formated it? [00:15] dr_willis: . [00:15] Said I was banned [00:15] downloading languge paks 20mins [00:15] dr_willis: Yes [00:15] Erm, no [00:15] I rebooted [00:15] and when I loaded gparted [00:15] it gave that error when it scanned it [00:15] so gparted gave an io error when scaning the device? [00:16] yes [00:16] sounds like the sd card is gone bad. [00:16] just like the first time [00:19] lj [00:20] dr_willis: Any suggestions? [00:21] buy a new sd card.. that one is dieing [00:22] 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] Thanks for the advice, I don't know why it died. :/ [00:22] erm, overuse obviously [00:22] But yea.h [00:22] G'bye. [00:23] hello all can some one please help me??? [00:25] 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] 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. [00:26] ok thanks [00:26] ADzebic: Which program? Java applet or application? What kind of animation? Stuttering lag or smooth but delayed playback lag? Is there audio desynchronization? [00:27] 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] erpo: Both give the same results [00:27] ADzebic: Which question are you answering? [00:27] 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] 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 [00:28] erpo: It's a simple bouncing ball program and it lags as a Java applet and a regular application.. [00:28] 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] to have TWO ^ [00:28] erpo: It's a stuttering type of lag. Not sure about the audio [00:29] ADzebic: How is your CPU usage? [00:30] yahyaa_: Are you familiar with pastebin? [00:30] 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] erpo: Using conky and htop, my cpu usage is fairly while the program is running [00:30] Hey all, when a website tries to access my webcam or microphone, Adobe Flash player asks me to allow, or deny, but i cannot interact witht he menu at all. What do? [00:31] ADzebic: Your CPU usage is fairly? What does that mean? [00:31] erpo: fairly low* [00:31] ADzebic: Have you tried to view the animation on a different computer? It could just be that it's a choppy animation. [00:32] erpo: I have tried it on my windows machine and it works fine [00:32] Hey all, when a website tries to access my webcam or microphone, Adobe Flash player asks me to allow, or deny, but i cannot interact witht he menu at all. What do? [00:33] 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] AmbreiousIuxnaye: The normal way of doing things is to ask the question once and wait. If anyone knows the answer, they will say something. [00:34] erpo: alrighty. [00:34] no I am not familiar with it, I am new to linux [00:34] Hey guys, I have a question about grub... I would like to add a custom entry, that only includes a singe kenel param to all the kernels detected... I hope someone will help... === graingert is now known as grain [00:34] Tex_Nick: Ok.

[00:35] Tex_Nick: As far as pressing a hot key, I don't know. However, you would be free to boot the system, let it log into the limited user account, and then log out to get to the login screen. [00:35] heh: A Linux version of Office 2013 could be released sometime next year, possibly soon after the debut of the Android build, according to a report by ExtremeTech.

[00:40] i like to know when i use ubuntu can i use it from virtualbox [00:41] ADzebic: I don't know for sure what the problem is. The first thing I would try is installing the official Oracle/Sun JRE since I've had bad luck with others. [00:41] mark2: Depends, what do you need help with.... [00:41] dr_willis: I get this from playing 1080p videos http://img90.imageshack.us/img90/4205/matrixscreenshot.png (I have tried ALL the Nvidia drivers in Jockey and even tried vdpau hardware acceleration, any ideas? [00:42] It's pretty bad I have to boot into Windows just to watch a movie :( [00:42] 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] 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 [00:44] mark2: so you don't want to use it but you want to use it? [00:44] shape: looks like typical video 'tearing' to me. [00:44] good evening all :) [00:44] erpo: Thanks for the help, I'll go and try that now [00:44] dr_willis: Yup, btw that's only a frame screenshot, and it just tears a lot when there is a lot of action going on. [00:44] shape enable vsync in ccsm and the players and the drivers.. i belive. [00:44] i just wanna run ubuntu at all times [00:44] 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] i rarely see tearing when i use vlc [00:45] I've been having a hell of a time on 12.04 trying to change the ulimit (file open) [00:45] is there an official procedure for doing this? [00:45] I saw online somewhere that I had to switch from Ubuntu's unity to GNOME, which I have [00:45] dr_willis: It's the same in VLC too btw [00:45] And I've reinstalled VMWare tools a bunch of times (I do have the kernel headers installed as well) [00:45] srini232323: for running in a vm - i tend to use Lubuntu [00:45] 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] mark2: If you want to run Ubuntu at all times, I would suggest you install it [00:45] shape: check ccsm, and the drivers, and vlc settings for that vsync or whatever its called [00:46] Well, I have a quad-core so I don't have any perf issues at all [00:46] shape: vlc has filtering options i recall using ages ago on a low end netbook [00:46] 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] srini232323: when running in a VM.. yes you can have issues [00:47] Anyone here familiar with grub? I want to add a custom entry like the rescue mode.... [00:47] 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] StR34k: look at /etc/grub.d/40_custom and add one perhaps? [00:47] Unless there's another reason you recommend Lubuntu to VMs [00:47] *for VMs [00:47] ok i also downloaded ubuntu without a virtualbox that seems to run faster would that be fine [00:47] 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. [00:48] srini232323: it uses less ram. ;) and does all the basics just fine [00:48] dr_willis: Looked at that, doesn't seem to be what I want, or else I don't fully understand it.... [00:48] that looks like a site to blog or something [00:48] StR34k: ive no idea what you want then. [00:48] why should I go to that site? [00:48] StR34k: its just adds extra entries to the end of the grub menu. [00:48] yahyaa_: Good. Now open a terminal, type ifconfig, and hit enter. [00:49] yahyaa_: That site is the polite way to send lots of text to other people over IRC. [00:49] 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] mark2: Ubuntu running as an installed OS should be fine.. it should definitely have better performance than in a virtualbox. [00:49] StR34k: custome paramaters would be in /etc/default/grub [00:50] So you're saying VMWare Tools might not be working because I don't have enough RAM? [00:50] 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] i added a conf in limits.d, rebooted, ulimit still 1024 [00:50] any ideas? === shrugged is now known as Guest50324 [00:50] hello, I just went through an upgrade and I can no longer seem to be able to connect to my database server remotely [00:51] when I connect on localhost it works fine [00:51] dr_willis: getting ccsm seems lots of tutorials for tearing recommend it for fixing it, will let you know if i solved it :) [00:51] StR34k: all i ever do in 40_custome is add in some static entries for booting some rescue isos. and a windows entry - if ubuntu gets it wrong and wont boot windows for me [00:51] erpo : I think i complicated my goal ... i just want the box to auto login to "family account" with "limited privilege" ... so would I also set my account (admin) to also auto login ... then to access my account ... logout to lightdm and then choose my account ? [00:51] gottwisst i did install ubuntu so would it be fine to use that one isnt installed in virtualbox? [00:52] Tex_Nick: No, only set your family account to auto login. [00:52] mark2: If it is installed, then yes [00:52] Tex_Nick: I think you can only set one account to auto login at a time. [00:52] mark2: It should be absolutely fine - in fact, it should run better than in virtualbox === Guest50324 is now known as shrugged11 [00:53] erpo, I think you can set any to autologin, however it will only do so from the last one run, automatically. [00:53] Tex_Nick: err. make a 'faimly' user then? and everyone uese that.. seems sort of a step backwards [00:53] erpo : ok so if i do that light will have to be displayed for multiple logins ? [00:53] without installing in a virtualbox isnt that gonna ruin my computer? [00:53] ok i typed it in now what? [00:53] lightdm ^ [00:53] or at its choice in the login probably [00:53] train people to login to their account. ;) [00:53] yahyaa_: Did a lot of text come out? [00:53] yes two paragraphs [00:54] is anyone available to help me with my ulimit issues? please :) [00:54] Mark2: Do you mean ruin your currently system? No, not if you install it on an unused part of your harddrive [00:54] dr_willis, A little pavlov's training with gummy bears. ;) [00:54] yea that what i mean [00:54] all i did was install it not on a hard drive [00:54] yahyaa_: Great. Copy and paste all of it into the box on the pastebin.com page and click the Submit button. [00:54] Mark2: If you install it over top of your current Windows system, obviously your Windows system will no longer be available to use [00:55] wilee-nilee: works for my wife.. the grandson allready figured it out on his own. ;) [00:55] lol [00:55] Mark2:But you can choose how to install it using the live CD [00:55] Mark2:So that shouldn't be a problem [00:55] brute`: Silence doesn't mean we're ignoring you. It means we don't know the answer. If you wait, someone who does know the answer may join the channel. If the channel is busy, I would limit asking the question to once every 30 minutes or so. [00:56] i still have windows im on it now [00:56] dr_willis: Sounding like some scripting will be in order, I want a new option for a single kernel parameter.... /etc/default/grub won't work since I need to add a parameter to the kernel to run on a seperate monitor.... (odd I know but I'm working with the cedarview drm drivers) [00:56] did that now what? [00:56] Cool. Well, if you installed Ubuntu after you installed Windows, you will also have grub2 [00:56] So you can choose which opperating system to use when you boot up again [00:56] mark2: see above [00:56] yahyaa_: Now copy the URL from the browsers (it should be something like pastebin.com/xxxxxxxxx) and paste it into this channel. [00:57] Heya. How do I change an application's icon/name/search keywords in Unity? I'd love to be able to have different icons for the native and wine versions of Steam, and to be able to differentiate them in search. [00:57] *browser, not browsers [00:57] i see [00:57] its on a different laptop [00:58] Then look at the different laptop and type what's in its URL bar into the chat window. [00:58] mark2: If you installed ubuntu on a completely different harddrive, I'm not entirely sure, but you may need to specify to the bios which harddrive to boot [00:59] http:/pastebin.com/zhmk8j5z [00:59] gottwisst: looks like mark2 has rebooted..... (mark2 (mark@66-188-82-32.dhcp.mdsn.wi.charter.com) has quit) [00:59] Tex_Nick: When you boot the machine, it will log straight into the family limited account. When you log out, it will show lightdm and let you choose which account to sign into. [00:59] just did [00:59] yahyaa_: What is the URL? [01:01] http:/pastebin.com/Zhmk8J5Z [01:01] yahyaa_: Just to be clear, the stuff on that page came out of the laptop that won't connect to WiFi, right? [01:02] yes [01:02] yahyaa_: What version of Ubuntu are you using, and what is the exact model number of the laptop? [01:02] kde12.10 [01:05] i followed this article for 64 bit ubuntu but it doesnt seem to work does anyone know one for 12.04 specifically? http://www.liberiangeek.net/2012/12/install-google-play-music-manager-in-ubuntu-12-10-quantal-quetzal/ [01:06] leptone: you can add their repo and try apt-get install whatever [01:07] leptone: http://www.google.com/linuxrepositories/ [01:08] erpo : ok, that's exactly what i want ;-) ... i want box to login straight to "family account" ... bypassing GRUB & lightdm ... what's confusing me is if my account is not set to auto login, light would still be displayed ... I need to do it to see how it works ... hey thanks for your input ;-) [01:09] erpo: whats up? did u come up with anything? === Gnarly_ is now known as Gnarly [01:09] Hey, um, anyone know how to install Xonotic on Ubuntu 12.10? [01:10] histro got it thx [01:11] gottwisst: and whatsd xonotic?

[01:26] yahyaa: okay. can you see SOME networks or none at all? [01:26] I CAN NOT SEE ANY OF THEM [01:27] okay. stop screaming :d [01:27] chances are, your wifi driver is not installed [01:27] a problem that would also exist on windows, btw.

[01:28] kubuntu 12.10 [01:28] ahh [01:28] okay, do this for me please [01:28] 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] open a terminal and run sudo lspci [01:29] SineTheCreator: fyi, there is no reason to use sudo with lspci [01:29] down the lspci list you should see something like "Network Controller: Wireless etc etc" [01:29] zykotick9: ahh, right. my bad. [01:29] so just lspci is needed [01:29] for reference, mine says: Network controller: Broadcom Corporation BCM4318 [AirForce One 54g] [01:30] yours should list realtek as manufacturer and the model of your chipset [01:30] its open [01:30] once we have that we can proceed [01:30] show 22 lines of information [01:30] the only line that matters is the line for your wifi card [01:31] 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] Merkidemis: you can disable ipv6 in network interface options. [01:31] that should help i think [01:32] here is the model number RTL -8139/8139c/8139c+ [01:32] SineTheCreator: Where would I do that? I am running a command line only version of Lucid [01:32] yahyaa: okay. [01:32] Merkidemis: ahh. /etc/network/interfaces [01:32] you'll have to add the appropriate line manually, google for the answer :( [01:33] 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] ok so how do I find that out [01:33] SineTheCreator: I'll see what I can find, there isn't anything in there for IPv6 now... [01:33] yahyaa: run lspci again. there would be TWO network cards listed. one is ethernet, one is wireless. [01:34] oh i see it === rafael is now known as Guest41440 [01:34] yahyaa: okay. what's the chipset model for the wireless card? [01:36] it is Broadcom Corporation BCM4318 [AirForce One 54g] 802.11g Wireless Lan Controller (rev 02) [01:36] ahh perfect! [01:36] thats the same card i have [01:36] it's easy to setup [01:37] 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] ipv6 [01:37] yahyaa: for that broadcom card, open a terminal and run: sudo apt-get install firmware-b43-installer [01:37] 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] Merkidemis: perhaps check for ipv6 option in /etc/apt/apt.conf? i certainly don't remember lucid defaulting to ipv6 for apt! [01:40] yahyaa: i think you and me may have the same laptop D: [01:40] i have exactly the same ethernet and wifi chipset [01:40] zykotick9: odd, I don't have a /etc/apt/apt.conf file [01:41] 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] hi all [01:41] 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] well that is my neighbors laptop I have a toshiba satelite [01:41] yahyaa: ahh. [01:42] did the firmware installer package work for you? [01:42] I have a problem with the screen dim, can someone help me, please? [01:42] 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] Merkidemis: i wouldn't be surprised if canonical's servers are perhaps ipv6 only and they forgot about lucid? [01:43] Merkidemis: that is one reason i use debian for my servers. can't get much more long-term than every five years ;) [01:43] Strange as I can ping the addresses over IPv4 just fine. [01:44] SineTheCreator: no they don't. debian is about a 3 year on average (there have been some much longer gaps) support lifespan. [01:44] zykotick9: i know. my virtual machine provider doesn't offer LTS for some reason. that's another reason :D [01:45] they only offer ubuntu 10.x and 11.x [01:45] one thing though, debian does at least keep packages for older versions in the archive repos [01:45] ubuntu does not in my experience [01:46] Merkidemis, are you using apt-cacher or squid deb proxy? [01:47] sinethecreator you are the bomb!!! [01:48] thanx it worked [01:48] 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] !final | Carlos30 [01:48] 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. [01:49] 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] but yeah for everything else it's great [01:49] thank you zykotick9 && ubottu [01:49] ok I do have one more issue [01:50] Carlos30: ubottu is a chatbot ;) [01:50] I have the HP OfficeJet 6600 [01:50] yahyaa: okay. usb or networked? [01:50] 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] networked [01:50] i know SineTheCreator , but it helps me :P [01:50] yahyaa: okay. go to system tools -> printers [01:51] i got the printer to print, but I can not get the scanner to be recognized by simple scan [01:51] ahh [01:51] tgm4883: I don't know what either of those are, so I doubt it. [01:52] yahyaa: in that case i have no idea. mine 'just works' [01:53] so I want to make a bootable encrypted usb running ubuntu [01:53] I'm following these instructions [01:53] https://help.ubuntu.com/community/EncryptedFilesystemsOnRemovableStorage [01:53] ..but it says I'm going to lose all my data [01:54] I'm confused [01:54] what app are u using to scan [01:54] I don't understand? [01:54] yahyaa: install the 'hplip' package if it is not already [01:54] apparently that should help [01:54] also i never scan with mine [01:55] how do I do that [01:55] remember I am new to linux [01:55] yahyaa: open terminal. sudo apt-get install hplip [01:55] thats it ok [01:55] recurry: backups are always a good idea... [01:55] better learn to do that first, but I don't understand how it is possible to make an encrypted booting usb [01:56] recurry: ive never really tried.. or worried about it [01:56] it seems that it is already installed [01:56] but are you a linux wizard? [01:56] but y cant I get it to work [01:56] yahyaa: once that package is installed, delete the printer in system settings -> printers and reinstall it. this time select HPLIP as the print driver. [01:57] ok let me try that [01:57] recurry: been using linux for years.. i havent the need for encrypted home/dirs/devices [01:58] have you ever had you laptop stolen? [01:58] I had accounts stolen off my stolen computer [01:58] i have no /proc/net/wireless. [01:58] recurry: you can use luks and luksOpen to encrypt a usb drive i believe [01:58] but will it boot? [01:59] i try to install wireless tools,but even i have installed it,it sill has no /proc/net/wireless [01:59] recurry: ahh. in that case i have absolutely no idea. you may need to have a separate partition on the stick. [01:59] dr_willis: encyrpted filesystems: required by 0.001% of people, used by much more ;) [01:59] ^ [01:59] i keep all my really important stuff on an encrypted network drive [02:00] that way even if someone steals my home linux server they cant access the real stuff without my key [02:00] I had the fucking police reading my private journals [02:00] i keep mine on a post-it-note on the wall. [02:00] really pissed off [02:00] this time I'm going to keep my shit encrypted [02:01] 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] 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] alternatively, you can simply set /home to be encrypted. [02:01] i believe it will not decrypt until your password is entered at login [02:01] hmm just /home? [02:02] 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] ah [02:02] when the system is booted the kernel has to look for the key [02:02] getting that to work when the key is INSIDE your encrypted root partition is quite difficult. but possible. [02:03] unfortunately i don't know how to do it [02:03] i always just went with easymode. encrypted /documents partition :D [02:04] thanks [02:04] shape: ive never found drivers to be the issue. [02:04] sure. sorry i couldnt be more help [02:04] Hey... [02:04] i could not find the hplp driver [02:04] dr_willis: so then with that options am I left with :( [02:05] shape: try xbmc and the xbmc session. ;) [02:05] 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] 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] Could someone explain what it was doing? [02:06] RyuGuns: ctrl-c 'stops [02:06] RyuGuns: ctrl-z sends to background. ; [02:06] Really?.. [02:07] RyuGuns: it downloaded the file to the stdout sounds like [02:07] RyuGuns: it's an -O not a -0 [02:07] Oh... [02:07] On the website it looked like -0, thanks a lot! [02:07] 0o0 <-- a fish. ;) [02:07] RyuGuns: you might want to try "fg" and see if it's still running [02:07] gotta love font mixxups [02:08] Yeah, it was still running, thanks people. [02:09] dr_willis: btw, I am running Xubuntu, and Xubuntu doesn't use compiz, would that make it more a Graphics card Issue? [02:10] shape: actually, i believe it's possible to run compiz in xfce as well. yes, xubuntu/xfce doesn't by default. [02:10] shape: hard to tell. I rarely have tearing issues.. but i tend to watch anime/non hd videos [02:11] I just installed Ubuntu on a new home built machine but it just boots to a purple screen. Nothing else. Ideas? [02:11] 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. [02:12] dr_willis: np, I'll see what I can find to fix this :) [02:13] is there an easy way to tell what version of ubuntu i have? [02:13] 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] !version | lotus-blade [02:13] 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 » [02:14] zykotick9: I'm only on 1 monitor tho :( [02:14] maybe this is a uefi problem that is not possible to install ubuntu on? [02:14] zykotick9: and replace it with what? [02:14] when 13.04 is going to arrive? [02:14] Can [02:14] Can't wait for it [02:15] 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] hello? [02:16] Hey, is there anyway that I can log, all those commands that are run/executed in a terminal? [02:16] With its time? [02:16] Anyone see me? [02:16] I mean start time [02:16] keithclark_: no [02:16] hrolf, check out snoopy [02:17] whew, I thought I was invisible [02:17] 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? [02:18] zykotick9: It seems wayland has been released since 2008, so I could change to it correct? [02:19] shape: if wayland was in any way actually useable... ;) [02:19] shape: i'd recommend against trying to change away from Xorg. More hastle then it's probably worth! [02:19] shape: last i looked into wayland.. it was not in a state that normal people could use it [02:19] dr_willis: yeah it seems so. Check my pm btw! [02:20] Anyone could help with a new uefi install? [02:20] i rarely even see pm messages ;) [02:20] hey all [02:20] just how my clients/znc are setup [02:20] 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? [02:21] NEvermind that! I didnt read itall [02:21] seekanet: you IMAGE the iso onto a stick using a special tool normally [02:21] seekanet: or use a special tool to put the files on the stick and make it bootable. [02:21] Yes dr_willis that was totally my fault I did not read. I shouldnt' dothat [02:21] 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] What should I do? [02:22] seekanet, you can't install ubuntu onto the usb from the same usb [02:22] Anyone? [02:22] taza: prepare for hd failure in the near future? [02:23] dr_willis: Mostly I want Ubuntu to not try to use said blocks [02:23] Is uefi just not installable? [02:23] The system is only for internet use anyway. [02:23] dr_willis: check pm again! :) [02:24] Hai DangerOnTheRangr, long time no see. [02:24] Hiya :) [02:25] How is everyone in PAnda? [02:25] Pretty good, though I haven't had time to idle there for a while, unfortunately [02:25] :( [02:26] So is new hardware just not >Ubuntu friendly? [02:26] DangerOnTheRangr: How is that game you were working on? [02:26] 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] keithclark_: depends on the hardware.. Alienware now sales ubuntu-prenstalled pcs from what ive seen [02:27] dr_willis, yeah, it seems that affordable hardware is no longer Ubuntu friendly. [02:27] 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] RyuGuns: It's coming along pretty well, but studies and stuff are taking up a lot of my time [02:27] dr_willis, Windows bound I guess [02:27] DangerOnTheRangr: :( Alright, hope you have progress with that. [02:27] Thanks :) [02:27] keithclark_: my $35 raspberry pi is affordable and linux friendly. ;) [02:27] 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? [02:28] dr_willis, yup...not for gaming though [02:28] Good luck getting a $35 Raspberry Pi, or to get Linux running on it. [02:28] ... Linux? Ubuntu. [02:28] dr_willis, I guess Linux is bound for pi type of hardware? [02:28] 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] taza: :) i got 2 of them/. [02:29] dr_willis: $65 where I am, and haven't even seen how to make Ubuntu run on it [02:29] My 2 yr old system does windows games decently well. on linux and windows. but i guess its the game [02:29] taza: use rasbian. ubuntu arm dosent support the pis arm chip. [02:30] taza: theres dozens of othe mini-arm gizmos out there also . if you dont have to hae a pi. ;) [02:30] dr_willis: Raspberry Pi prices: $65 for one, $100 for 2. [02:30] why i run command "iwconfig",all four interface shows no wireless extension? [02:31] taza: you should be able to order them direct from england for less. ;) [02:31] dr_willis: Those are the website prices. [02:31] Well, dunno about the one copy 'cuz they don't show that to people who haven't logged in [02:32] * zykotick9 wishes raspberry pi's ran on all free/open driver/hardware... but they don't... [02:32] I guess the days of homemade pc's are over now for Linux. [02:32] Me too. The Raspberry Pi makes a decent server, but the installing is so difficult and the binary blobs make security doubtful. [02:32] its being worked on i hear zykotick9 .. but who knows. the thing has only been out for like a year. [02:32] keithclark_: i homemake mine all the time for linux.. im not sure what you are going on about [02:33] dr_willis, uefi [02:33] I was just going to say the same thing. [02:33] UEFI can work in linux [02:33] dr_willis, Will not allow Linux to run [02:33] keithclarke: uefi is supported in the linux kernel ....ubuntu 12.10 [02:33] i have it running in this machine [02:33] I'm pretty sure manufactureres would get a shock when their hardware sales drop from linux users not making systems [02:33] I trust Broadcom to not try to overtake my Pi, but I don't trust their binary blobs are secure enough. [02:34] https://wiki.archlinux.org/index.php/Unified_Extensible_Firmware_Interface [02:34] seems like a good read on the topic. ;) [02:35] 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] This uefi is a nightmare [02:35] installed it where? [02:35] a seperate HDD [02:35] if windows is installed using the uefi then ubuntu has to be installed using uefi [02:36] 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] does win7 even suppor UEFI ? [02:36] RageRiot: issue could be that 'secure boot' stuff.. but i dont know about it [02:37] 64-bit Windows Vista (SP1+), Windows 7 and Windows 8 versions support booting using UEFI firmware. [02:37] UEFI is still new to me. I reclll installing windows 7 the same way I always do. [02:37] 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] keithclarke not really just read your manual and set your bios accordingly [02:37] dr_willis, secure boot does not have an effect either. Tried to turn it off [02:37] Morph4me, read the manual and applied. Still no go [02:37] unplug the windows hd .. and see if it boots.. :) [02:37] heh [02:38] One way to trouble shoot. [02:38] 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] or however uefi sets that boot item [02:38] yeh, secure boot is diabled. I read that this secure UEFI is only a worry when windows 8 onwards.. [02:38] win7 supports uefi [02:39] by default ? [02:39] pretty much [02:39] depends on how you boot the windows installer. [02:39] keithclark , what mobo do you have in your system ? [02:40] Morph4me, Asus F2A55-M [02:40] 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] uefi works great cuts the boot time way down [02:40] Hello everyone. =) [02:40] RageRiot, I would use the ubuntu forums make a thread and post the bootinfo summary. [02:40] keithclark ty [02:40] k [02:41] Morph4me: boot time is not the advantage of uefi, security is [02:41] yes that too [02:41] it also maps devices better and correctly, and more... logically. [02:41] added perk [02:41] zykotick9, only if you can actually boot [02:41] lol [02:42] 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. [02:43] wcchandler: i'm pretty sure "signed boot" is fairly fundamental element to uefi, and that's the security i'm refering too [02:43] 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] 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" [02:44] keithclark if you haven't looked at this you might want to check this out https://help.ubuntu.com/community/UEFI [02:44] zykotick9: signed boot wasn't part of the original RFC for uefi [02:44] Now, after a restart, I am left with a darker color screen and sluggish-er graphics [02:44] I'l look at that as well. :) [02:44] Morph4me, Yep, no luck [02:44] k [02:44] All of the commands he did in the video are in the description [02:44] Does anyone know how to reverse them?' [02:44] Morph4me, still boots to purple screen [02:45] keithclark are you dual booting win7 on that machine ? === pedro_ is now known as Guest70591 [02:45] hi every one [02:45] I had the problem at the step he numbered "5" [02:45] if it's purple uefi is not set in the bios [02:46] STUPID APT-GET! STOP TRYING TO USE IPv6 [02:46] i need help whith my pinguy os [02:46] Morph4me, what do you mean set? [02:48] i cant update my OS [02:48] Guest70591, Not supported here you need #pinguyOS [02:48] Guest70591, What's wrong exactly? [02:48] 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] Oh, he/she had Pinguy... [02:48] *Oh, he/she has Pinguy... [02:49] Morph4me, no windows. Raw system [02:49] k [02:50] wcchandler: really? that surprises me - thanks. [02:51] 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 [02:53] Could not download all repository indexes [02:53] Everything we try is just purple screen. [02:53] I'm going to assume that Ubuntu is just not compatible with new hardware anymore. [02:54] it is normal ? [02:54] keithclark_: that assumption is incorrect. [02:55] you said you installed.. so it aparently did boot and ran.. [02:55] dr_willis, nope, just installed. Not running === puff` is now known as puff [02:55] You used the live-cd-desktop to install? if so - it did run [02:55] keithclark in your manual if you have it look under section 2.7 you will see the boot tab [02:56] it could be as trivial as grub is on the wrong hd.. [02:56] dr_willis, yes, live CD ran. Install did not [02:56] click csm on the list and set uefi to auto [02:56] if you have 2 hds/. i would try unplugging all but the linux hd. [02:56] leave secure boot to standard on the next screen it shows you from there [02:57] it's the same bios screen as mine [02:57] of course make sure you download the 64bit version of the ubuntu 12.10 os [02:57] Lost here, what to try next? [02:58] you have your manual ? [02:58] What manual? [02:58] dr_willis: you here? [02:58] of the mobo [02:58] Yes, Windows oriented [02:58] dr_willis: I fixed the tearing! what I did was add under Section "Screen": [02:58] No Linux info [02:59] dr_willis Option "TripleBuffer" "True" and then run sudo nvidia-xconfig --no-composite [02:59] Hello. [02:59] i know im talking about your bios settings [02:59] zykotick9: I fixed the tearing! I disabled composite in xconf! [02:59] shape: nice! [02:59] section 2.7 shows the boot tab in your bios [02:59] zykotick9: ROFL! was just writing to you [03:00] hie [03:00] shape: i think vlc also has some extra-buffers filters [03:00] dr_willis: zykotick9: it still tears very little but it's watchable now :) [03:00] dr_willis: what do you mean, what about those? [03:00] shape: ive used them to get rid of tearing on my netbook. [03:00] and just follow what i said up ^^^^ there when you see it [03:01] hie pedro_ [03:01] So give up for me? Just Windows? [03:02] ping [03:02] pingu [03:02] Seems like Linux has a major new problem with uefi! === dsl1159 is now known as perl1994 [03:02] keithclark_: more likely its either an issue with your specific hardware.. or you just dont hae a setting correct./ [03:02] 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 [03:03] does it sounds normal that the debian (6.0.7) installer can't detect ubuntu luks crypted disks? [03:03] but it seems you want to argure more then listen. good luck [03:03] Morph4me, I've read the manual [03:03] dr.willis amen [03:03] dr_willis: hmm I don't seem to find them, extra buffer you say? [03:03] keithclark_, Problem is the boot, the setups are different per manufacturers. === perl1994 is now known as tinycore [03:03] shape: im on windows right now. i recall vlc having some advanced option. and showing of diffent filters [03:04] dr_willis: yup I was looking through them but nothing extra buffer related [03:04] dr_willis: wait let me print screen for you [03:04] vlc -> tools -> preferances CHeck the 'all' button. [03:04] wilee-nilee, maybe but I don't seem to be able to find the solution. Just purple screen [03:04] dr_willis: yup already did that [03:04] 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. === jack is now known as Guest61738 [03:05] keithclark_, Use the ubuntu forums, there are daily users there focusing on uefi. [03:05] shape: i see motion blur.. but not sure what else i played with. ;)_ theres a lot of fun filters [03:06] wilee-nilee, yeah, probably easier for my Son to just buy Windows. [03:06] dr_willis: yeah, that's the only one close I guess [03:07] uefi is the death of Linux [03:07] keithclark_: don't hope so :) [03:07] thoonai, seems so [03:07] 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] keithclark_: yeah your right, lets take torches and pikes [03:07] I think my fans are not working [03:07] dr_willis: definitely the disablind of composite did the trick [03:07] laptop gets really hot since I installed ubuntu [03:07] TORCHES AND PIKES! [03:08] how can I check? [03:08] thoonai, I wish it were like that [03:08] !fud | keithclark_ [03:08] 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] keithclark_: who would not change his opinion if a mo with torches and pikes is coming? [03:09] dr_willis, well I have perfectly good hardware here with uefi the will not allow Linux to install. [03:09] keithclark_: you havent really shown us that you have tried most of the suggestions we have given.. [03:10] you said it DID install. but is not booting the install.. 2 very differnt things [03:10] dr_willis: my asus e45 board with freeDOS uefi doesnt want to boot linux either (except ubuntu live sticks < 11.04) [03:10] dr_willis, What do you require as proof? [03:10] one bit of hardware having isues does not prove that uefi is the death of linux. [03:10] dr_willis, keithclark_ we should ,move over to #offtopic and let the support been done here [03:11] how can I activate my laptop fans? [03:11] thoonai: ;) i just get sick of ranting [03:11] thoonai, but I require support! [03:11] hi pp [03:11] laptop us burning, and everything is running so slooooow [03:11] n-iCe: Are they plugged in [03:11] ? [03:11] SonikkuAmerica: is a laptop, yes. [03:11] n-iCe: second [03:11] the best linux distro are Linux pinguy and linux cylon [03:12] indeed I thikn they are running, but very slow, I can hear like they are running [03:12] linux_pinguy: i dont see much point in pinguy to even exist.. [03:12] really [03:12] !ot [03:12] #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! [03:13] keithclark_: hoo? support? [03:13] thoonai, help then? Whatever it takes to get Ubuntu installed on an uefi machine [03:13] keithclark_: sure ^^ [03:13] n-iCe: What kind of laptop is this? [03:13] debian ubuntu is the best distro base [03:14] keithclark_: no support is ok too, but FUD and ranting belong to #offtopic [03:14] keithclark_: do you have a legacy bios mode? [03:14] thoonai, ok so I assume that uefi installs are offtopic now keithclark_: m( [03:14] again with the sillyness.. [03:14] ? [03:15] 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] IdleOne, When a fresh install boots to just a purple screen, what to do? [03:15] !nomodeset [03:15] 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] IdleOne, No errors [03:16] try tty1 [03:16] keithclark_: I didn't say to direct all your questions at me. [03:16] You can also set it to boot to text mode keithclark_ and see if any messages/consoles work [03:16] !text [03:16] 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] see the nomodeset info ubottu just gave [03:16] 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 [03:17] but.. you said it wasent booting.. if you see the plymouth/aniation.. it has booted.. [03:17] n-iCe: install lm-sensors, and from a terminal type "sensors" do you see cpu/mb temps? do you see fan speeds? [03:18] Morph4me, I did this stuff from 2.7 [03:18] someone using debian and ubuntu? [03:18] how do i add more work spaces? [03:18] zykotick9: [03:18] Morph4me, Why a troll? I just want to get hardware that my Son bought to work. [03:18] 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] leptone: right click on the workspace bar and set in the properties [03:19] zykotick9: http://pastebin.com/eGP0T1Cr [03:19] leptone: for gnome-shell [03:19] 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] Thanks Morph4me [03:19] n-iCe: sorry i don't go to pastebin.com if you repaste to paste.ubuntu.com i'll go. [03:19] yw [03:20] dr_willis, yeah unity thanks! [03:20] n-iCe: this is about 20 degrees to hot [03:20] thx thoonai as well [03:20] 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? [03:21] shape: or just 'sudo apt-get install openbox' and select it at the login screen.... [03:21] shape: or use any of the DOZEN other window managers out there. ;) [03:21] zykotick9: http://paste.ubuntu.com/5706670/ [03:21] shape: well, openbox IS a windows manager, which replaces compiz 100%. but for your specific case? i have no real idea. [03:21] dr_willis: yup, i3 and awesome are good too, etc. [03:21] shape: xbmc even adds its own 'xbmc' session to give you a videoplyer desktp [03:21] I dont find awsome very awsome. ;) [03:22] dr_willis: oh i see, I'll try that and see then, much easier :) [03:22] shape: if you are big into videos. you may want to check out xbmc and that xbmc session [03:22] dr_willis: yeah definitely, installing it now [03:23] zykotick9: what do you think? [03:24] night all [03:25] 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] I need help [03:25] Please [03:25] SpazTrooper: ask your question - all on one line [03:25] 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] whats up spaztrooper? [03:26] it does intall on UEFI, what';s the problem? [03:26] moppers, purple screen on bootup [03:27] I am trying to boot windows 7 via USB. I am running Lubuntu on this computer. I have the .iso and I took instructions from the forums using Gparted but I keep getting "BOOTMGR missing" [03:27] keithclark, are you sure that uefi isnt configurable to allow ubuntu install??? ive read many article explaining how to accomplish it successfully [03:27] What did I do wrong? [03:27] nightdemon666, on or off, same result. Purple screen [03:27] keithclark_, do you have the logos at the bottom? [03:28] moppers, nope [03:28] keithclark_, 64 bit? [03:28] *I am trying to boot Win7 on another PC from my Lubuntu [03:28] moppers, yup [03:28] 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] SpazTrooper, How did you load the usb? [03:29] IdleOne, how to try the nomodeset? [03:29] !nomodeset | keithclark_ [03:29] 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] I used Gparted and formatted the USB to NTSF [03:29] Then Copy and pasted the .iso on the formatted USB [03:29] !usb | SpazTrooper [03:29] 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] 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 [03:30] 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] help! debian doesnt recognize ubuntu crypted hdds - the ubuntu way of os sucks [03:30] All I did was take the .Win7 .iso and paste it in the NTSF USB [03:31] thoonai: ask #debian for debian support [03:31] 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] grr [03:31] IdleOne: I crypted the disks with #ubuntu ^^ [03:31] IdleOne, which file to modify? I see a lot of info but not the basics [03:31] SpazTrooper, unzip it before and put on usb [03:31] thoonai: but you are having a problem with debian [03:31] moppers, Easily done. [03:31] Yes I did [03:31] keithclark_: read the wiki it tells you [03:32] 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] IdleOne, what wiki? [03:32] !nomodeset > keithclark_ [03:32] keithclark_, please see my private message [03:32] Ok thank you. I will try it and see if it works [03:32] Thanks [03:32] :) [03:32] wilee-nilee, if you have info on making a bootable/installable win7 USB from an ISO in Linux, I'd be interested [03:32] SpazTrooper, bootsect /nt60 I [03:32] IdleOne: true, but #debian just ignores their 'special' installer ;) [03:33] SpazTrooper, make ufb bootable [03:33] IdleOne, but you PM points to the same page. [03:33] usb [03:33] IT twas bootable [03:33] keithclark_: the answer is on that page [03:33] wilee-nilee, i have tried DD'ing the iso [03:33] The flag was set to boot [03:33] IdleOne, Holy cow, I'm a simple guy here. [03:33] u need faith soo [03:33] Ola :) [03:34] keithclark_: there is no "magic" button. you're going to have to read some and learn a little. [03:34] moppers, Ntfs partition with a boot flag, extract it with archive manager to the partition. [03:34] 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] IdleOne, I did and understand zero here.....what you have to be a techie to get Linux to work now with uefi? [03:34] wilee-nilee, have you tested that? [03:35] (sorry, very frustrated) [03:35] moppers, Many times works with W8 as well. [03:35] What does me being on Lubuntu do with it? [03:35] :? [03:35] lol [03:35] keithclark_: last time, your problem is not uefi. your problem if I may be blunt is you. [03:35] lol, keithclark, my magic 8 ball points to "yes" you have to be a techie to get anything working in linux :P [03:35] IdleOne, ok, thanks\ [03:36] Im running on a netbook... [03:36] nightdemon666, I see that\ [03:36] keithclark_, what's ur problem? [03:36] wilee-nilee, ok, looking at it [03:36] 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] nightdemon666: so my granny is a techie o.O [03:36] * thoonai is not sure about this [03:36] wilee-nilee, how ar you installing the boot loader though? [03:36] Ok, Im on a netbook. No CD drive or anything. [03:36] 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? [03:37] moppers, YOu don't have to the bootflag triggers the extract to boot. [03:37] wilee-nilee, marking it as boot flag in gparted etc, copy the files - you still need a boot loader, surely? [03:37] 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] How would I be able to tell whether a specific cronjob is running? [03:37] keithclark_: try this section --> "How to temporarily set kernel boot options on an installed OS (not wubi)". See if it works [03:37] wilee-nilee, ok building an ISO [03:37] Yes, I need to make the bootable USB from my lubuntu to put on another netbook that will run the Win7 [03:37] Cache_Money: you can set it up to log, check the logs or if its currently running ps aux [03:38] 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] Why does my screen flicker when I run wine. I use Intel graphic card [03:38] 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 [03:39] Cache_Money: then killall or kill > [03:39] IdleOne, your answer is for WUBI [03:39] Infinix: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=IVpOyKCNZYw [03:40] does killall * works? [03:40] no [03:40] why? [03:40] xzcvczx: is this the right pid? root 723 0.0 0.1 19104 992 ? Ss 2012 1:27 cron [03:40] Or is that a system cron? [03:41] Cache_Money: thats the cron deamon, you need to look for what the cron script runs [03:41] 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] xzcvczx: I dont' see the file name/path when I run $ ps -ef [03:41] nightdemon666: wow a torvalds quote that doesn't contain swearin [03:41] g [03:41] Cache_Money: are you sure its running then? [03:42] cron is designed for jobs that run every x time periods then quit and are started again at the next time period [03:42] 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] xzcvczx: maybe I didn't set it up properly. How do I set up the cron to log? [03:43] Cache_Money: there is plenty of documentation available on the google for that [03:43] k [03:44] um, "man cron" thats what i would do... [03:44] Umm how does that help me fix my problem. There is only an Intel graphic card on my laptop. [03:45] Infinix: what are you trying ot run in wine? [03:45] infinix, sounds like a driver issue :/ [03:45] Anyone here use NetBean and Zend? [03:45] graphics driver [03:45] cant say that ive heard of those DarthExpeditor [03:46] NetBeans is an IDE for development and Zend is a framework for PHP development. [03:46] DarthExpeditor: are you sure this is the best place to ask and not on help site for zend or netbeans? [03:46] Its all good. They have a room but no one is talking right now. [03:46] So basically Intel graphic card driver keeps switching back to Vesa huh? [03:46] that doesn't make this the right place to ask [03:47] anyone else think that by tomorrow an update for Firefox 20000000000.1.0 will be popping up on your screen??? [03:47] Any way to fix graphic driver issue? [03:47] 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. It was definitely the xfce composing manager. [03:47] IdleOne: well sat is almost over, time for me to turn back into a pumpkin, and disappear. you do a great job in #ubuntu :) you deserve a !cookie (in #d they have beer ;) === tjbiddle_ is now known as tjbiddle [03:47] Infinix: what are you trying to run in wine [03:47] seems like every 5 minutes another update comes out :/ [03:47] yeah again 30MB over dsl 100 [03:47] zykotick9: Hey, so I finally solved it for good with the xbmc session. Absolutely no tearing. It's definitely xfce fault since compiz is not even installed. [03:47] hmm...even booting from the onboard video does not work with Ubuntu [03:48] nightdemon666: firefox is like a doomsday machine. updates kill my parents internetz [03:48] Hey guys, I am trying to get a basic script (to run rsync) at shutdown and startup. I have tried putting it in /etc/init.d and then running update-rc.d but it still will not run. and ideas? [03:48] lol [03:48] How come? Why can't it? [03:49] are there rules for updates? like security-important-less ? [03:49] thoonai: you apparently never had dialup [03:50] xzcvczx: update via dial up? I went to university with my car to update [03:50] There just seems to be no way to install on a uefi enabled motherboard [03:51] Not without doing handstands [03:51] On one foot [03:51] keithclark_: well i have a uefi enabled motherboard and it was simple [03:51] keithclark_: if you look properly you will find the information [03:51] xzcvczx, well not here [03:51] well as was referrenced earlier it seems to be a PEBCAK problem [03:52] xzcvczx, we are simple folk, not tekkies [03:52] I got my android phone attached to my lubuntu box with a usb cable .. how do I access it's sdcard? [03:52] keithclark_: probably you should change your mobo === user is now known as thpuser [03:52] thoonai, yeah, to a much more expensive model....always money [03:52] My internet died [03:53] kewel: first select mass storage option on the phone, then it should pop up as a mass storage usb key [03:53] brb [03:53] I was saying I dont think I can run a VM on my OC [03:53] keithclark_: what are you using now? [03:53] PC [03:53] Netbook [03:53] your motherboards number [03:53] thoonai: checkin .. thx [03:55] bye back to lab [03:55] .. [03:56] SpazTrooper_, Asus F2A555-M [03:57] Sorry, Asus F2 A55-M [03:58] Hey guys, I am trying to get a basic script (to run rsync) at shutdown and startup. I have tried putting it in /etc/init.d and then running update-rc.d but it still will not run. and ideas? [04:01] Trying to get Google Chrome to open Deluge when clicking on Magnet Link... Right now it just opens up another Chrome Browser window. So far I have tried this: http://tinyurl.com/8jc2us2 and http://tinyurl.com/d5odytc I am running Lubuntu 12.04 [04:02] PlastikSpork, Download the link and set deluge to read downloads [04:04] wilee-nilee: how do you set Deluge to read the downloads? I've gone into deluge settings and clicked "Associate Manget links with Deluge" [04:06] PlastikSpork, Preferences-downloads tick auto add torrents to downloads. [04:06] not to from sorry === jzheng_afk is now known as jzheng [04:10] Ok but a magnet link is not a .torrent file... you don't download magnet links [04:10] PlastikSpork, Deluge will pop a gui to add it. === billy_ is now known as wickedpuppy === Reina is now known as Guest69186 [04:12] 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 [04:13] deluge can do magnet links [04:14] I just right click on magnet link, paste-as-text in add>>url [04:15] 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] chrome is not the only browser [04:15] 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... [04:16] is that a deluge client? I thought it was all web-based interface [04:17] PlastikSpork, Cool, however I don't think you have to set the add torrent from just use FF pick deluge and add it. [04:19] yeah Firefox does work and ask me what app to use === security is now known as megha [04:23] hmm, is it possible to do a install of ubuntu/kubuntu and tell it /not/ to format the partition? [04:24] I would like to do a inplace install (move the old /home to /hombk). I just do not want to spend the time to pull /home from backup (its 600GB+) [04:25] Scotch`Slugworth, yes, do manual partitioning and you don't have to format your home [04:26] Seven_Six_Two: its a flat partition do /home is in / [04:27] Scotch`Slugworth, oh, then I don't think you can. You have to format / during an install [04:27] Good evening, folks. I am having some trouble accessing a LUKS encrypted disk. Could anyone help out? === nathan is now known as Guest5324 [04:27] Seven_Six_Two: arg. / is clean and fine, i just want to switch cleanly heh [04:28] Scotch`Slugworth, to a different distro? [04:28] Scotch`Slugworth, take the hit now. back up home and create a separate partition for it. [04:28] Seven_Six_Two: from Gentoo, tried of the upgrade & package hell. No i would NOT be keeping user data live [04:29] Seven_Six_Two: ive got it backed up, it just takes forever to restore it [04:29] Seven_Six_Two: and dont forget /etc [04:29] martukas: depends. tell me more, but I have still the same problem ;) [04:30] Blue1, depends on him. I don't back up /etc for a single user system. [04:31] well something got corrupted enough that it wont boot so I just need to get one file out, but I'm not sure how to mount it properly from console [04:32] the volume in question shows up on my desktop, but how do I know it's source address in /dev ? [04:35] mount? [04:36] you mount it twice, first the device, then the crypted containes afairc [04:36] yes, i know that - but how do i know what to mount? [04:37] what's the device name to supply as argument to cryptsetup? [04:44] did you checked how many drives you have in /dev? [04:44] 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] Am I missing something or is Ubuntu 13(beta) nautilus dumping list view? [04:45] Not detailed [04:45] aka compact view [04:46] use the programm 'disks' if u use unity just type it in the dash [04:46] martukas, i think sudo fdisk -l command will help you [04:46] in /dev/disk/by-id I see over a dozen vbox harddrives with long hexadecimal ids thought i have only 2 images actually mounted in vbox [04:46] hmmm, how do I execute a sudo command on boot? [04:46] well, which one is 8.3 encrypted? many?

[04:47] the sudo command on boot, like when the os has fully loaded? [04:47] none of them have that name :) i don't know how the gui generated that name [04:48] there is a kernal bug that casues my cpu to go crazy. the only way to stop it currently is to execute a command as root. [04:48] so I want that command to automatically run when I start my computer [04:48] ah that last command seemed to help thanks [04:48] nurow, run the command in the rc.local file [04:49] thanks [04:49] I have a LifeCam NX-3000 for some reason skype doesnt reconize it [04:49] XMLnewbi, does your comoputer recognize it? can use it with cheese application? [04:50] im in vmware, and yes it reconizes it. I can google cheese [04:50] does anyone know where to get the propriatary driver for a ATI M56GL [Mobility FireGL V5200] video card? Usual google searches don't seem to help. Is theira general database for this? [04:51] nightdemon666, if i need "sudo su" to execute, how do I give it those permissions in this file? [04:52] dont bother googleing cheese, just simpley sudo apt-get install cheese. if the cam works, then it will work in cheese. if it works in cheese it "should" work in skype... a troubleshooting tip to use cheese to make sure the webcam is working in the os in general befoe blaming skype. [04:52] nurow, first, why would you need sudo su? [04:52] second, you need ot make sure that the file is owned by root [04:52] the command won't execute under sudo [04:53] sudo chown user:group /path/to/file [04:53] hmmm [04:53] no device found in cheese, redeploy? looks like it should "just work" https://wiki.ubuntu.com/SkypeWebCams [04:53] https://bugs.launchpad.net/ubuntu/+source/linux/+bug/887793/comments/114 [04:54] Launchpad bug 887793 in linux (Ubuntu) "Kworker constantly taking about 100% CPU" [Medium,Confirmed] [04:54] they seem to recommend a different method here, but I can't tell where this script is supposed to be placed? [04:54] you can make user root, and group root... sudo chown root:root /path/to/file [04:54] then execute command [04:54] sudo chmod 0700 /path/to/file [04:54] is it in rc.local? [04:54] it needs to be in rc.local [04:55] /etc/rc.local i think [04:56] XMLnewbi, thats why i suggested seeing if it would work in cheese... does the kernel see it? run lsusb or lspci and look for anything that looks like " LifeCam NX-3000" [04:57] after cryptsetup does its thing, I try to mount the result and get this - mount: unknown filesystem type 'LVM2_member' [04:57] Hey, Im having a problem booting my Installed version of Ubuntu 12.10 LTC on a Asus F2 A55-M LK MotherBoard with a A6 AMD APU [04:58] The computer itself boots fine, But it just gives me a Purple screen when I try to load Ubuntu 12.10 [04:58] nurow, if you are not comfortable with command line, you can perform the same things via gui. sudo nautilus, then do it graphically :) === f00dMonsta_ is now known as f00dMonsta [04:59] well, i'm confused as to which aspects of these instructions are to be performed manually in command line, and which sohuld be in that file [05:00] what is the command nurow? the command that cures the cpu issue [05:00] what issue? [05:00] echo disable > /sys/firmware/acpi/interrupts/gpe13 [05:01] valhalla, this issue: https://bugs.launchpad.net/ubuntu/+source/linux/+bug/887793 [05:01] Launchpad bug 887793 in linux (Ubuntu) "Kworker constantly taking about 100% CPU" [Medium,Confirmed] [05:01] lol [05:02] Does any one know a solution? [05:02] 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. [05:03] nightdemon666: gksudo nautilus, you mean, no? [05:04] anyone know when the next LTS is going to be released? [05:04] mattclark: that issue has been addressed [05:04] valhalla_: 25 apr but https://wiki.ubuntu.com/Releases for future reference [05:05] valhalla_, About 12 and 1/2 months [05:05] wxl thanks! [05:05] i can't recall where they posted the solution though,maybe swing by the forum, search [05:05] er not 25 apr duh [05:06] 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. [05:07] ok, cool, i'll try that [05:07] 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 [05:08] nurow if there is an 'exit 0' in rc.local your command should precede that [05:09] 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. [05:10] I wish ubuntu had a right-click -> run as su command [05:11] i run Guake/yeahconsole and stay as root there [05:12] * betrayd drinks potofcoffee [05:12] 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] *jobs [05:13] 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] hallo. anyone help me with getting mingw set up for cross-compilation from ubuntu to windows? [05:13] 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] martukas: have you run lvm commands like vgchange, etc [05:13] they are usually found in those fedora forums [05:14] have to run those commands before attempting a mount [05:14] 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 [05:15] but this was a xubuntu volume to begin with, created couple months ago with whatever encryption defaults offered during regular setup [05:15] i just find it a nuisance. I know its windowsy, but its not like they can't ever be right, lol [05:15] I mean... maybe it would be an option or a piece of software you could enable. [05:15] nurow, i'll bet the ubuntu team will add it eventually... [05:15] for advanced users who know what they are doing [05:15] is the BSD networking stack windowsy? [05:16] martukas: an LVM is an lvm regardless of distro [05:16] ubuntu should get rid of that crap === kaictl is now known as alsofishes === buhman is now known as kaictl [05:16] anywho, no one's remotely familiar with manually installing broadcom (b43) drivers without a restart? === wally__ is now known as Guest58458 === alsofishes is now known as kaictl [05:17] wxl: I've done it before, can you give me the lspci -nn for it? [05:17] 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] 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. [05:18] omg can someone please help me get my scanner working in kde??? [05:18] i also don't understand why Unity doesn't seem to have the ability to browse through all apps on my computer. [05:18] i have to search.. [05:18] yahyaa, what scanner model? [05:18] 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] am i missing something? [05:18] nightdemon666: it's not quite about preferences. https://help.ubuntu.com/community/RootSudo#Graphical_sudo [05:19] HP Officejet 6600 e-all in one [05:19] nurow: install gnome-panel and get rid of unity, lo. [05:19] ntzrmtthihu777: right, so bcm4318 :) [05:19] yeah i've been a cinnamon person, but i just thought i'd give it a try [05:19] wxl: not a clue. thats why I'm asking for the output of lspci -nn. [05:19] I can't get youtube videos to play without crashing. [05:19] my cinnamon had been bugging out on me [05:20] ntzrmtthihu777: i'll boot the thing up but it's doubtful that you'll get anything different… [05:20] yahyaa, what's wrong? it should be detected automatically [05:20] I turned off hardware accelerator. [05:20] nurow: I tried cin. once, acted prety funky. [05:20] wxl, ah, that would be a difficult habit to break lol, thanks for showing me that :P [05:20] it works fine when I print, but when I try to scan it says that it can't find the scanner [05:21] 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 [05:22] lvdisplay should list the fullname of the volume members, all of them [05:22] then you can address by that name [05:23] Can someone help me.

[05:25] 12 more days!! NOOOO!! [05:26] but thank you very much, wxl. [05:26] i've been looking everywhere [05:26] superfreeflector: well not everywhere [05:26] my ethernet connection doesn't work on a brand new installation of ubuntu [05:26] superfreeflector: case in point— [05:26] i couldn't find it on the forums [05:26] superfreeflector: https://wiki.ubuntu.com/Releases [05:26] oh, duh [05:26] duh indeed. [05:26] i was using search indians [05:27] well, I DIDN'T KNOW :((( [05:27] there was a wiki [05:27] i'm only 10, leave me alone [05:27] wxl: do you have an ethernet connection to use? [05:27] so far, i've war-dialed 3 area codes :D [05:27] my ethernet connection doesn't work, any tips? [05:27] superfreeflector: well congratulations on adopting ubuntu so early, I wish I knew about linux when I was your age [05:27] 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. [05:28] i found a reality BBS system while war dialing [05:28] like, real estate [05:28] perhaps it wasn't a real estate BBS system at all... probably a front company for the intel agencies [05:28] wxl: according to a askubuntu problem I found linux-firmware-nonfree will include what you need. [05:29] hm [05:29] ok, enough tin foil hat talk. ever saw Signs movie? [05:29] wxl: same exact model as you: http://askubuntu.com/questions/171427/wireless-isnt-working-in-12-04 [05:30] 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.

Please use #ubuntu-offtopic for other topics (though our !guidelines apply there too). Thanks! [05:30] oh, sorry :/ [05:30] ntzrmtthihu777: and now to find a .deb of it [05:30] ok, and my rage quit is... KERNEL 3.8 IS AWESOME!!!! :D [05:31] wxl: not too hard, need a hand? [05:31] ntzrmtthihu777: nope found it, thankfully. now we'll see what issues we have with deps. [05:32] XD don't forget the modprobing [05:32] 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] can someone help me get my ethernet connection to the internet working? i'm using a fresh install of ubuntu and its not working [05:33] sudoair: lspci -nn should give you a clue. [05:33] what kind of clue? [05:33] sudoair: a good one. [05:34] i see my ethernet controller [05:34] REaltek Semiconductor Gigabit Ethernet controller (rev 06) [05:34] sudoair: identifying names. google search for that, and see if you don't find exactly what you need [05:35] hey everyone a question. What does -- exec $SHELL -l mean ? [05:35] when I type it in ubuntu on cli [05:37] ntzrmtthihu777: you rock. i'll make sure to edit the wiki. [05:37] Hi, Igo [05:37] t got this issue' [05:37] wxl: what wiki? [05:38] I couldn't login to my account [05:38] and thank yah, I try :D [05:38] with my password [05:38] 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. [05:39] when i enter the password it reopens the boot page making me enter password again [05:40] 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] martukas: are you sure it's not /dev/mapper/xubuntu or something [05:40] wxl: ah, gotcha. edit away, and I hope you do well [05:41] Vivekananda: http://www.basiclinuxcommand.com/linux-command/exec.html [05:41] if i give wrong password it sows [05:41] no I had cryptsetup put it exactly there, thats why the name is so weird :) [05:41] shows that [05:41] Hi everyone, How can I install a newer version of curl on my ubuntu 12.04 precise? Thanks. [05:41] guest-YdKMtw: so try logging in via the virtual terminal with ctrl-alt-f1. let's make sure, first. [05:42] hy, people... i downloaded one archive with CR OS LINUX I686-2.4.1290.raw .. raw? what to do? [05:42] alright heres whats fucked up, 64bit version of linux makes my ethernet not work [05:42] but 32bit version works [05:42] hy, people... i downloaded one archive with name "CR OS LINUX I686-2.4.1290.raw" .. raw? what to do? [05:43] WHYyYyy [05:43] Hi everyone, How can I install a newer version of curl on my ubuntu 12.04 precise? Thanks. [05:43] I could see the terminal wxl [05:44] psamim1: just download it and put it in ~/bin until ubuntu ocmes out with a new version. [05:44] !curl [05:44] guest-YdKMtw: what version are you using? [05:44] when i give user and password [05:44] 12.04 wxl [05:44] WXL? [05:45] wxl: thanks for reply! so you mean I cannot use another version! hm? [05:45] naa his nickname i mentioned [05:46] 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] guest-YdKMtw: did it used to work before? or is this a new install? [05:46] mac: run file CR yada yada and it will give you a clue [05:46] till yesterday at office i was working [05:47] guest-YdKMtw: have you done any updates? [05:47] tnx.. i go google this.. [05:47] in guest session too i cant give that password [05:47] no updates [05:47] omg don't go google yada yada that won't help [05:48] no? [05:48] guest-YdKMtw: ok, here's a thought, then: maybe try some updates. you can do this in that virtual terminal. [05:48] mac: um, no. [05:48] any other idea? [05:48] maybe? [05:48] mac: do what he said. run the file. [05:49] But even for updates it asks for password, don't you think wxl [05:49] ok, i will go goolgle it how :) [05:49] anyone recommend a good clipboard manager? [05:49] guest-YdKMtw: yes but your problem is lightdm or something, not your password. we figured thta out. [05:49] mac: double click on it! [05:49] sect0r: i like clipit. [05:49] if it doesn't take password it won't update right [05:50] i'll check it out thanks [05:50] unpackit first, right? out of tar.gz [05:50] guest-YdKMtw: the virtual terminal liked it, right? [05:50] mac: I though you said it was .raw [05:50] mac: yep [05:50] * wxl facepalms [05:50] yes, it is... inside [05:50] yes wxl [05:51] guest-YdKMtw: so once you're inside the terminal, you can run updates happily with your password [05:51] open with shotwell?? [05:51] mac: try it [05:52] ah I see it mistook RAW for a photo/camera shot [05:52] thats why it wants to open in shotwell [05:52] wtf is raw? [05:52] those hi -rez photos [05:52] mac: maybe more importantly, wtf is this darn file you're messning with? [05:53] darn file? [05:53] !language [05:53] Please watch your language and topic to help keep this channel family-friendly, polite, and professional. [05:53] hahahahah [05:53] let's not say shoot either, folks.

[05:54] i won't argue this any further, but you're splitting hairs. [05:54] i wished to try out google chrome os in oracles vm... :( [05:54] i gues it is another fail.. [05:55] wxl, There is no arguement this is a family channel we just ask you respect that, ;) [05:55] mac so you probably double-click and 'Use another application to run this file' [05:55] and make it point to your oracle vm thing [05:55] ok.. with what? [05:55] mac: What's the problem you're having? [05:55] oracles vm is called virtualbox. do you have it installed, mac? [05:55] yes.. [05:56] mac: and furthermore, raw is not a filetype virtualbox understands, typically. [05:56] aha.. [05:56] crap [05:56] mac: Which download did you do? Link [05:56] nothing else in that tar.gz mac? [05:57] no, nothing [05:57] hello there... [05:57] well, crap. crappy crap crap crap.

[06:02] but your chat client might have a plugin for that already [06:02] wxl: betrayd: Yeah I got that. I was wondering if there was a way to do it specifically in irc [06:02] dodo3773: irssi+yash. [06:02] wxl: I spent the last week setting up weechat so no more irssi for me [06:02] wxl: info on yash, if you don't mind? I run irssi inside of screen, so it happens to me at times. [06:02] dodo3773: but, no, typically no irc server is going to do it ofr you. [06:02] wxl: Ah okay.

[06:10] leptone__, You need to remove it, not sure if there is another you have a couple of other 404 not found [06:10] jason552: Have you read this: https://help.ubuntu.com/community/WifiDocs/Driver/Ndiswrapper [06:10] i need some answers.. i am loged on gnome.. do i use it? if not how? and where can configure screen saver? [06:10] dodo3773: that's what im on now. [06:11] jason552: Oh okay. Did you find it just now? Or is that what you've been using? [06:11] dodo3773: that's what i've been using. [06:12] jason552: Oh I see [06:12] martukas: the only thing i can think of is pick one (forum) site that deals with both lvm AND the encryption, the commands there all work in ubuntu...following names can be tricky without knowing your exact layout [06:12] test [06:12] hello [06:12] konecktd_: test back [06:12] thnx [06:13] alright i'm out of here. thanks for showing me how to google ntzrmtthihu777 :) [06:13] dodo3773: It says hardware present: but I can't go further. [06:14] 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] 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] dodo3773: yes [06:15] 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] mac: almost done downloading it. will try to see if the builds are 32 or 64 [06:15] dodo3773: after "sudo modprobe ndiswrapper" [06:15] thank u, very much!! [06:16] welcome [06:16] jason552: that's when you get the error? [06:16] dodo3773: yes [06:17] jason552: So you've got the driver (windows driver gets shoved into ndiswrapper?) [06:18] dodo3773: yes [06:18] dodo3773: ndisgtk that is [06:21] jason552: Okay so you pointed ndisktk to the windows driver file and it installed it? [06:22] jason552: Maybe the card has to be pulled out and plugged back in and / or the module reloaded or something? [06:23] jason552: yeah I'm not much help on this issue. I haven't had a driver that the kernel or kernel + firmware couldn't handle yet [06:24] dodo3773: lucky you. I'm plagued with issues. [06:25] Does anyone know what might happen if I ssh from my android home to my ubuntu desktop and try to run nautilus or firefox?

It's pretty much the greatest application period I found all year last year. I can't sing it enough praise seriously [06:47] eee... while i am at that subject... [06:47] raju: Of course that's just my opinion. vsum question is relevant though. depending on what your using it for (scripts init etc) [06:47] raju: .in? [06:48] what is the zeitgeist plugin for??? [06:48] :) [06:48] i know zeitgeist.. but plugin? [06:48] dodo3773, ok I am just trying to use it for scripting. [06:48] vsum, scripting [06:48] contrapunctus, in Ubuntu [06:49] 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] raju: scripting for what purpose ? general admin ? or seriuos programming ? === mac-less-happy is now known as mac [06:49] vsum, I am learning it with some programming language , you can consider me as a medium level programmer . [06:50] hello [06:50] ayu_: hey [06:50] vsum, my friend what do you suggest for admin too ? [06:50] bash is widely used , so I would suggest to start with . [06:51] raju: bash is more widely used [06:51] raju: My suggestion was for a user shell. Like if you pretty much live in the shell sort of thing. [06:51] 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] raju: will the scripts be run on a linux system? [06:51] vsum, ok cool . you mean bash for both (admin,programmer ) [06:51] anyone care to answer a random off the wall question, but related to those that are of intelligence ? [06:52] histo, yeah usually and the default shell is bash only but i have gone through the name of ksh today . [06:52] Betanu701: Is it an init script? [06:52] dodo3773, yes in a Ubuntu Linux machine [06:52] rawrish, ask it , we give our best. [06:53] hi [06:53] dodo3773: It is a .sh script, basically running rsync to my computers [06:53] Betanu701: if it's not an init script try /etc/rc.local [06:53] Betanu701: Do you want it to just run on startup or on a time based interval? [06:53] 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] be it philosophy or science [06:53] weird i know...

[06:54] 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 [06:55] Betanu701: From there you can call your script externally if you need to [06:55] How would I go about calling it externally? [06:55] Betanu701: or if it isn't too complex just add it there [06:55] Betanu701: Betanu701 you could use upstart to call it on shutdown and startup also [06:56] Betanu701: https://synapse.wordpress.com/2007/03/24/run-a-script-on-startup-shutdown-in-linux/ [06:56] 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 [06:57] dodo3773: Oh I have had to do that alot. lol [06:57] Betanu701: I would suggest using cron though to avoid the problems like dodo3773 is describing [06:58] 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] I attempted cron, problem is I do not want this computer (the main database) [06:58] on all the time [06:59] Betanu701: If you need to put multiple stuff in there make sure you remember "&" [06:59] dodo3773, thank u.. again [06:59] Betanu701: right just have it run your script like every hour when it's on with cron [06:59] Betanu701: I'm outta here though.

[07:01] Betanu701: no only startup [07:02] Betanu701: the only way to do what you want is to use upstart [07:02] I am reading the site you gave me to try and do it [07:03] Betanu701: I'm trying to find a more usefull site for you atm [07:04] histo: Haha thanks, been working on this for probably 7 hours [07:04] hey friends one more question . what exactly going to happen If i have removed the .profile file ? [07:04] Betanu701: https://help.ubuntu.com/community/UpstartHowto [07:05] raju: copy a new one out of /etc/skel/ [07:06] Hi, passed to 12.04(from 10.04). Unity OK. I was watching on synaptic. There are a lot of gnome-* packages. Can I remove them? [07:07] histo, I mean how my shell behaves [07:07] lonejack, Why would you want to, what is your goal here? [07:07] histo, nothing is there in the directory , its just example.desktop [07:07] 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] raju: there is a .profile in /etc/skel [07:07] wilee-nilee, hey [07:07] hey [07:08] histo, I cant see anything here. [07:08] Betanu701: aparently there is already a job for that script [07:08] raju: ls -a /etc/skel/ [07:08] histo, aah! I understand now . hidden file. [07:09] raju: or just cp /etc/skel/.profile ~ && chown raju:raju ~/.profile [07:09] but there is nothing that shows up in any of the rc* [07:09] Betanu701: well remove the job first [07:10] wilee-nilee, to clean the house. The sping is near(at least in europe)... [07:11] 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 [07:12] 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] raju: those are default skeleton files that are copied to a home directory when a user is created [07:13] hi all where is mc config now? there is nothing in to ~/.mc [07:13] so they wont update right ? [07:13] histo, cool friend . [07:14] 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] wilee-nilee, I was not aware about that. I'll not touch anything.

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] ahh if you've been there done that then probably not i guess [08:49] how do i report bugs in ubuntu etherpad?

[08:54] 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] chunkyhead: yes. you can replace the dot with any other folder and it would work [08:54] oh ok thanks a ton delocaz [08:55] I had a weird issue when trying crunchbang. It would not let me use /dev/sda3 or what not so I told it /dev/sda and then it said no bootable device.

[11:37] <[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] [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] 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] Heya, just installed Linux Lite, and having some problems with flash it crashes, and VLC crashes aswell.

[11:38] pecc: removing the battery or resetting the bios via jumper is the safest method for resetting the password.

[11:41] [gnubie]: what is your command when you connect with root, but with your gnubie user? [11:41] [gnubie]: nothing [11:42] [gnubie]: Some misconfiguration by the user that set up that box. [11:42] 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?

[11:44] azbarcea: that would make it inaccessible to everyone, no? [11:44] [gnubie]: you posted with "ls -ld", I want ls -al [11:44] [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 [11:45] 600 is accessible only for your user ... [11:45] azbarcea: not for a directory [11:45] azbarcea: well for the contents anyway [11:45] 640 (like it is now), is accessible for group too [11:45] azbarcea: Which will not show you any valuable information not already provided.

[12:01] pecc: And fdisk shows the partition type, not the filesystem type- [12:02] pecc: no when you dd it will overwrite everything on the usb filesystem and all [12:02] pecc: that's why it's very dangerous if you switch the if and of you are hosing your data.

[12:26] DylanCl: no that is using ffmpeg to stream to justin.tv [12:26] How do I send that link to pastebinit [12:26] 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. [12:27] bekks, maybe it was imagebin then [12:27] 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.

I am left with the open applications windows without frame. Initially I got a crash report for X11 and compiz which indicated an issue with the nvidia driver, so i downgraded that from nvidia-current-updates to nvidia-current. [12:38] histo: Yes, I know that. [12:38] I am lost on how to get more information about this issue. [12:38] DylanCl: okay then what is your question [12:38] snuggl: Well, what program should I use to draw a box so I can put my window in there? [12:39] DylanCl: what do you mean with draw a box?

[12:39] black borders for your stream? [12:39] histo, yes. But no more crash report window. [12:39] DylanCl: gtkrecordmydesktop can do that but it will not stream on the fly to twitch.tv [12:39] DylanCl: maybe a screenshot could illustrate the problem? [12:39] hmm [12:39] Yeah, will do that [12:40] I cannot seem to permanently disable lightdm so that I boot into command line... [12:40] anyone know how to do this?

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?

[12:48] no_gravity: have you tried toggling WLAN on and off via your notebook's fn/special keys or some such? [12:49] [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] [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. [12:50] pecc: no. let me try... [12:50] [gnubie]: I know that the problem [12:50] ffs [12:50] [gnubie]: they shouldn't be the same [12:50] The authorized_keys file on the server should not contain any @yourserver lines. It should contain a user@client line [12:51] snuggl: something like this http://i.imgur.com/bVw3Y1F.png [12:51] Whenever I run that streaming script I want it to show those lines(if that's possible) [12:51] 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? [12:52] DylanCl: ask ifn #ffmpeg it's not possible as far as I know. [12:52] [gnubie]: Yes, of your client, not your server. [12:52] <[gnubie]> histo: kindly check line 15 of http://pastie.org/7514149 [12:52] [gnubie]: You don't understand keys and how they work. I've told you how to fix it. [12:52] Gnurdux: And you should not use the same keys for root and users. [12:53] ffs i'm done [12:53] <[gnubie]> the contents of my authorized_keys file is the same as to the rest of the non-ubuntu servers that i am managing. [12:53] [gnubie]: THEY SHOULD NOT BE THE SAME!!!! [12:53] pecc: when i press the wifi key on the keyboard, the bluetooth thingy disappears/reappears on my taskbar. [12:54] [gnubie]: Dont use the same keys on more than one box. Dont use the same keys amongst users. [12:54] <[gnubie]> histo: i'm sorry if i'm disappointing you but you should not shout. i'm not ignoring you. [12:54] [gnubie]: please look at the authorized_keys file for /home/gnubie/.ssh/authorized_keys tell me what user@client is in there [12:54] any ideas on the purple screen of death? [12:54] [gnubie]: you obviously are ignoring us [12:55] <[gnubie]> bekks: i understand your concern. [12:55] subman: video drivers? [12:55] <[gnubie]> histo: it ends with gnubie@example.com [12:55] histo, what about them [12:55] [gnubie]: and your /root/.ssh/authorized_keys what user@client does that have [12:55] <[gnubie]> histo: same. [12:56] [gnubie]: THis is on the server right? [12:56] histo, is ubuntu compatible with the new A6 APUs? [12:56] !fglrx | subman [12:56] subman: For Ati/NVidia/Matrox video cards, see https://help.ubuntu.com/community/VideoDriverHowto [12:56] histo, #ffmpeg is dead [12:57] <[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. [12:58] [gnubie]: because your files are wrong. if your root's authorized_keys file has gnubie@example.com [12:59] <[gnubie]> bekks: once the ordinary user can access already, i will remove root's access and the /root/.ssh recursively. [12:59] [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] [gnubie]: hist just said it all. [12:59] <[gnubie]> histo: i understand what you're trying to say. thanks. [13:00] * histo is doubtfull [13:01] <[gnubie]> one question and sorry for my ignorance in ubuntu. is there an rbac or similar to that prevents file permissions or changes in the file system? [13:01] [gnubie]: Not by default. You already asked that and you've already got answers. [13:02] <[gnubie]> bekks: if in case it's enabled, what could that be? [13:02] histo, I didn't find anything useful on that referenced page. [13:02] [gnubie]: the one and only thing preventing it from working is your wrong configuration. You have been told already. [13:02] Hi.Just bought an ASUS U32U RX004D laptop without OS. How do I find ut whether I need the 32 or 64 bit Ubuntu? [13:02] [gnubie]: You have been told very clearly whats wrong - if you keep ignoring us, we cant help you. [13:03] szekelya: Run a live CD, then look for the "lm" flag in /proc/cpuinfo [13:03] szekelya: lm = 64 bit [13:03] vlt: any hint in BIOS? [13:03] szekelya, look it up on the ASUS site and see if it's 32 or 64? [13:03] szekelya: what type of cpu is in it? [13:04] szekelya: The 32 bit version should run on everything. [13:04] szekelya: You need to know which CPU it is. [13:04] Is it possible to simulate a Fn key press with a keyboard that has no Fn key? [13:04] 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] AMD Brazos Dual Core E450 [13:04] <[gnubie]> szekelya: if you don't have 4gb ram, just use 32bit [13:04] [gnubie]: Using that wrong configuration, it will not work on any host OS. [13:04] exactly 4gb [13:05] 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] [gnubie]: the problem is your authorized_keys files on the ubuntu server. [13:05] [gnubie]: I will not argue, I will ignore you, since you are ignoring us. [13:06] mint with mate or cinnamon? Or Chakra linux? :) [13:06] francesco_: Ubuntu. [13:06] francesco_, none of which are supported here. ubuntu [13:06] thx.. (excue me for the of topic.. :P) [13:06] What is the best program to record videos besides recordmydesktop? [13:06] "re-map" the Fn key to right Ctrl or something perhaps? [13:06] <[gnubie]> is "id_rsa.pub == authorized_keys" ? [13:06] DylanCl: ffmpeg [13:07] [gnubie]: No. [13:07] [gnubie]: not your jacked up ones [13:07] And with ffmpeg you can record and upload to youtube? [13:07] francesco_: None of those are supported versions of Ubuntu, you'll need to ask in the appropriate channels for advice on those [13:07] DylanCl: recordmydesktop vidoes are uploadable to youtube [13:07] [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] [gnubie]: with the proper user@client [13:08] Well, for whatever reason, when I record wwith recordmydesktop my footage speeds up like, 10 times [13:09] I'm out good luck [gnubie] [13:09] DylanCl: I might be wrong, but I'm pretty sure you can lock the framerate [13:09] I have it set to 50 frames per seconds [13:09] DylanCl: With the --fps N option? [13:10] What do you mean? [13:10] DylanCl: the easiest way would be to open a black fullscreen window below it [13:10] DylanCl: and run the game witout window borders [13:10] I'm still stuck on the purple screen of death here [13:11] $ 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] If /tmp isn't writeable and I reboot, will I still be able to log in remotely via SSH? [13:11] DylanCl: ^^ :P [13:11] [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. [13:12] [gnubie]: The client needs the public key, since its the public key that identifies the client on the server. [13:13] <[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 [13:14] [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] [gnubie]: Obviously you didnt. [13:14] [gnubie]: are you on ubuntu as client too? [13:15] <[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] 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] [gnubie]: do you have the command "ssh-copy-id" ? [13:15] [gnubie]: if so, thats a tool to copy your id files to the remove server [13:16] in the correct place etc. [13:16] <[gnubie]> snuggl: not on mountain lion [13:16] [13:17] pidgin sucks :( [13:17] [gnubie]: and you are correct, the server shall have the public key and the client the private [13:17] not the other way around [13:17] [gnubie]: Did you paste ~gnubie/.ssh/authorized_keys already? [13:17] [gnubie]: it also needs to be chmod 700 else sshd will ignore it === acidflash__ is now known as acidflash [13:18] or 400 of whatever, just not world readable. === zz_Karbowiak is now known as Karbowiak [13:18] <[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] no_gravity, do you know how to use pastebin.com? show me the file: /etc/udev/rules.d/70-persistent-net.rules [13:19] [gnubie]: that paste clearly show the error [13:19] (15:16) ( snuggl) [gnubie]: it also needs to be chmod 700 else sshd will ignore it [13:19] compdoc: how shall i reach pastebin without internet? [13:20] <[gnubie]> snuggl: you mean the authorized_key should be in 700 permission? [13:20] [gnubie]: remove world readable [13:20] 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] [gnubie]: if its world readable sshd will ignore it [13:20] yours is world readable [13:20] so sshd ignores it [13:20] 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] 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 [13:21] #ubuntu-server|Merkidemis, [13:21] Merkidemis, ask in #ubuntu-server [13:21] [gnubie]: make it 600 [13:21] !server [13:21] Ubuntu Server Edition is a release of Ubuntu designed especially for server environments, including a server specific !kernel and no !GUI. The install CD contains many server applications. Current !LTS version is !Precise (Precise Pangolin 12.04) - More info: http://www.ubuntu.com/products/whatisubuntu/serveredition - Guide: https://help.ubuntu.com/12.04/serverguide/C/ - Support in #ubuntu-server [13:21] <[gnubie]> snuggl: so, i have to set it now to 600 and test it. [13:21] it's ubuntu 12.04 64 bit [13:21] [gnubie]: best bet is to look at the log file [13:22] !kernel [13:22] The core of Ubuntu is the Linux kernel: see https://help.ubuntu.com/community/Kernel - You shouldn't have to compile your own, and if you need to troubleshoot issues, you can try a !Mainline kernel instead, but if you insist, see https://help.ubuntu.com/community/Kernel/Compile (see also !Stages) === matthew is now known as Guest31489 [13:22] ubottu: no such channel [13:22] Merkidemis: I am only a bot, please don't think I'm intelligent :) [13:22] let me do a fresh install on the server real quick so we can start from scratch [13:22] <[gnubie]> snuggl: where is the default log file for ssh connection attempts in ubuntu precise? [13:22] why does it seem impossible to change the ulimit?? ive tried everything! [13:23] Please tell me how can i change my nick name? [13:23] mode scotty^ -i [13:23] Guest31489: Type /nick ZomgRaptor [13:23] [gnubie]: around /var/log i guess, /var/log/auth.log might tell you [13:23] <[gnubie]> Guest31489: /nick NEWNICK [13:24] [gnubie]: it didnt solve the problem? === Guest31489 is now known as Mt [13:24] thank you [13:24] <[gnubie]> snuggl: i'm checking. please hold on. thanks! [13:24] [gnubie]: with ssh -vv user@host, does it even try with key auth? [13:24] ah [13:24] turn on verbose else and check that its actually trying with the key [13:25] [gnubie]: your local, private key, also needs special permissions [13:25] How do I select the gateway to use to connect to a /27 IP range? sudo LANG=C route add -net 62.x.x.x/27 gw 192.168.x.x => "route: netmask doesn't match route address" [13:25] <[gnubie]> snuggl: from my mountain lion on my previous ssh connection attempt => http://pastie.org/7518631 [13:25] Merkidemis, try again. #ubuntu-server is an open channel ... [13:26] <[gnubie]> snuggl: my client machine, the id_rsa comes with 600 file permission [13:26] cfhowlett: its because I am an idoit and don't always add the leading # to channel names [13:27] <[gnubie]> snuggl: i changed it just now to 400, same issue. [13:27] I can't seem to ssh into my box [13:27] snuggl: According to earlier pastebins from [gnubie] the client does try pubkey. [13:27] but I know it's running correctly [13:27] Merkidemis, As far as Operator Headspace Errors go ... I've seen worse. [13:27] this is the version of ubuntu i have reinstalled on the VPS http://gyazo.com/a3a0460e2a5fec3f0b843ba8e582171e.png?1365945992 [13:27] I'm getting "connection refused" [13:27] Foxhoundz: how do you know SSH is running on the remote box? [13:27] cfhowlett: after working at a helpdesk, so have I [13:28] yeats: Apache is accessible, a node.js app is also running fine [13:28] both attached to a screen [13:28] Foxhoundz: but do you know that SSH is running? [13:29] 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] vlt: row 7 is a bit wierd tho [13:29] Any ideas? [13:30] [gnubie]: did you remove the header from the key? [13:30] yeats: I was running a session minutes before, closed putty, and decided to run it again a few minutes later [13:30] snuggl: The NEWKEYS line? [13:30] [gnubie]: the first row if id_rsa, is it "----BEGIN STUFF----" [13:30] could this be a key issue? [13:31] scotty^, google has hits on adding spell checkers to nano, but not sure why you would want to. gedit is pretty nice [13:31] 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] *from [13:31] ah [13:31] Foxhoundz: connection refused means sshd is not listening on port 22 (or is being blocked)\ [13:31] locked account might explain it yes =) [13:32] [gnubie]: Does password login work?!? [13:32] vlt, password auth is turned off in the conf [13:32] What can I say - I miss the good old days :) [13:32] Foxhoundz: the server crashed [13:32] It might also come in handy one day if I cant boot into X. [13:32] 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 [13:33] Foxhoundz: can you ping it or connect to any other port? [13:33] * no_gravity still without network. [13:33] else, find a way to reboot [13:33] 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] Foxhoundz, then either you or then firewalled you away, or the sshd crashed [13:33] or them* [13:33] snuggl: that's jumping to conclusions - sounds like Foxhoundz problem is with SSH alone [13:34] I seem to be stuck now at kernel_thread_helper any ideas? [13:34] Foxhoundz: do you have physical access to the box? can you log in to a terminal? [13:34] I should note the box is accessed through LAN [13:34] it's a raspberry pi sitting in the corner [13:34] yeats: what? [13:35] Foxhoundz: can you access it directly? [13:35] yeats: ssh crashing would be a problem with sshd alone [13:35] Simulating an FN keypress on a keyboard that has no FN key. Is this possible? [13:35] Asterfield: FN isnt a real key [13:36] 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] yeats: ah, i was talking about the server as in sshd [13:36] snuggl: So, I'd have to find out the keycode of the fn modified key on the original keyboard? [13:36] Asterfield: FN doesnt have keycodes [13:36] they arent real keys [13:37] <[gnubie]> snuggl: thanks! [13:37] help [13:37] snuggl: so let's say I needed to trigger whatever event fn+f8 would have triggered on the original keyboard? [13:37] I just rebooted the server [13:37] it seems to work fine now [13:37] <[gnubie]> histo, bekks and vlt: thank you for trying to help. [13:37] haloo.. [13:37] i'm from indonesia.. [13:37] is there any way to make it so sshd restarts if it crashes? [13:37] <[gnubie]> guys, it works now. [13:37] Asterfield: check with some log what keycodes the respective presses generate [13:38] hisbil, greetings [13:38] KatyPerry420: I've never tried it before, but it looks like you need to install xrdp on the Ubuntu box. [13:38] guys, how make database mysql on ubuntu ?? [13:38] Foxhoundz: sshd usually doesnt crash, but you can handle it with some process monitor [13:38] please help.. [13:38] :) [13:38] !mysql [13:38] LAMP is an acronym for Linux-Apache-MySQL-PHP. However, the term is often used for setups using alternative but different software, such as Perl or Python instead of PHP, and Postgres instead of MySQL. For help with setting up LAMP on Ubuntu, see https://help.ubuntu.com/community/ApacheMySQLPHP - See also the Server CD installation process. [13:38] snuggl: The original keyboard in this case is busted. There's no way for me to know what keycodes it generates [13:38] Asterfield: then you have to google around, it depends on who made the computer/keyboard [13:38] there are no standard solution [13:38] Asterfield: some are handled in BIOS, some in the keyboard hardware [13:39] hisbil, https://help.ubuntu.com/10.04/serverguide/mysql.html [13:39] Hey guys can anyone help in miniprojects [13:39] snuggl: Aw drat, googling has left me high and dry for the first few hours I searched :\ [13:39] Foxhoundz: you should investigate the logs to see what actually made it crash [13:39] Asterfield: what fabricate is it? [13:39] when i have created mysql database on my ubu, but the file not .mysql file.. [13:39] I'm stuck at 'kernel_thread_helper' when booting. It goes no further [13:39] hisbil: whats a .mysql file? [13:40] hisbil: what are you to use that file with? [13:40] sorry.. i mean .sql.. [13:40] KatyPerryX420: I've never tried it before, but it looks like you need to install xrdp on the Ubuntu box. [13:40] i wanna use to my qt.. [13:40] hisbil: .sql files arent used in mysql [13:40] you can load the content of the files into mysql if you want [13:40] waht ?? [13:40] there is the link ?? [13:41] no SQL server uses .sql files directly [13:41] hisbil: think itts mysqlclient < file.sql or similar [13:41] to load it [13:41] ooo,, [13:41] but ask in the mysql channel instead [13:41] maybe.. [13:41] hehehe [13:41] or just google how to load sql files [13:41] there should be plenty of hits [13:41] oke.. [13:42] 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. [13:43] Could this be a uefi issue? [13:43] [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] [gnubie]: you can unlock with "passwd -u user" [13:44] and lock with -l [13:44] thanks i'm in and i'm outta here if i need any help setting up my ajax server i will be back [13:45] <[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. [13:48] Any ideas on the 'kernel_thread_helper' freezing issue? [13:53] hi [13:53] ok, how about 'kernel panic try passing init= option to the kernel' [13:55] I can't install r8168-dkms on 13.04 here is the error messages & log http://paste.ubuntu.com/5707761/ Any ideas?

[13:59] where do I can finde the non-pae alternate installer version of ubuntu? searched for it yesterday but didn't find it [13:59] subman, youre crashing at boot? [13:59] !pae [13:59] To use more than ~3.2GB RAM on a 32bit system you can install the PAE-enabled kernel. See https://help.ubuntu.com/community/EnablingPAE for more info [13:59] compdoc, yes [13:59] did it ever work? [13:59] compdoc, nope [13:59] compdoc: Thanks. It turns out that Ubuntu has aspell installed by default, so I followed the instructions at http://ubuntuforums.org/archive/index.php/t-921921.html [13:59] what version of ubuntu? [14:00] compdoc, 12.04 [14:00] scotty^, have fun with your cli editer [14:01] subman, what cpu and board is it? [14:01] I will :) Thanks. [14:01] compdoc, Board is Asus F2A55-M APU is AMD A6 5400K [14:02] subman: That's one of the new "Richland" APU's. right? [14:02] thats an old chipset, but I use apus with ubuntu woith no problems [14:02] scott__, yes [14:03] scotty^, yes [14:03] I would have gotten an a75 or a85 chipset, [14:03] subman, can you boot the live dvd? [14:03] compdoc, yes [14:04] well live usb [14:04] are you choosing options when installing? or just letting it install the way it wants? [14:04] install as it sees fit [14:05] well, with uefi, there are options for legacy booting, and on some boards, even legacy video options. have you tried those? [14:06] does ubuntu see the hard drive when you try to install? [14:06] Yup [14:06] Install completes fine [14:07] I've gone through all the uefi stuff. It is booting with legacy [14:07] if theres an option for IOMMU? disable that [14:08] and if you see an option for PCI Latency Timer, set that to 32 [14:08] IOMMU is disabled [14:08] you ever run memtest? [14:09] how much ram is there? [14:09] 8 GB [14:09] in some, theres an option for memory hole. you might toggle that setting [14:10] Testing now [14:10] memory hole? [14:11] yeah, its a bios option for some boards. if you dont see it, no worries [14:12] 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 === rcerny is now known as miup [14:13] subman: And for 3D (eg Unity/Gnome shell/KWin) you'll need http://cgit.freedesktop.org/mesa/mesa/commit/?id=03eef7f8ef98f1008a8687bbd7ee0141b433887a and http://cgit.freedesktop.org/xorg/driver/xf86-video-ati/commit/?id=3e5350bedf50a1a140e0eba08c39ed2451fb9115 [14:13] hey im searching for a non pae version of ubuntu, anyone able to point me where I find it? [14:13] scotty^, I have no idea what to do what that! [14:14] subman, are you installing the 64bit version of ubuntu? [14:15] compdoc, yes [14:16] 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] Wow, it is becoming a Windows world with all this new hardware [14:17] found, but the canonical website isn't that clear [14:26] compdoc, are you thinking that 32 bit might be a better choice? With PAE? [14:26] 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.

[14:48] she_dyed, yes. It does. And an alarm program should wake it [14:48] no your thinking of something else [14:48] does ubuntu loads slowly ? [14:48] to get the first desktop screen [14:48] not on fast systems [14:49] in Windows7 this as easy as setting task scheduler to open Foobar at a time, and ticking "wake from hibernate" [14:49] tintin: try it and find out [14:49] there you go [14:49] 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] scotty^, I am looking for a program suitable for beginners [14:49] she_dyed, in Windows7 this as easy as setting task scheduler to open Foobar at a time, and ticking "wake from hibernate" [14:49] tintin: it depends on what all processes/services are started during bootup , and as compdoc said .. system specs also matter [14:49] there you go ^ [14:50] gp5st: rm the lock file that it tells you is in use and then try update again. [14:50] there I do what? [14:50] *go [14:50] some say, lubuntu is faster to load than ubuntu [14:50] LiquidDemocracy: Probably OpenShot then. I've never use it myself. There is also Pitivi. [14:50] reboot and take care of an immediate need [14:50] scotty^, thx [14:50] or use the free wake up call [14:51] she_dyed, huh? [14:51] use the right tool for now [14:51] one that works [14:51] the point of all of this is NOT turning on windows for 1 day. [14:51] Ubuntu has failed in this. [14:51] trhe point right now is to wake you [14:51] tintin: ubuntu by default uses unity, lubuntu lxde. lxde is not as intensive as unity [14:51] scotty^, ah OpenShot is for Gnome, right? I am on KDE. [14:52] so comparatively , yes , lubuntu should bootup faster than ubuntu tintin [14:52] i add a line to my crontab and works for me [14:52] Ok, at work but back. [14:52] she_dyed: for waking up pc from sleep ? [14:52] 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 [14:52] hi guys i am having some issues with upstart. I am running 12.04 x64 and installed mongodb from 10gen's repository. I am able to start mongo when I run it cli myself( sudo /usr/bin/mongod --config /etc/mongodb.conf) but when I run sudo service mongodb start nothing happens [14:52] compdoc, come up with anything? [14:53] rAg3: not yet [14:53] my guess is that my mongodb.conf file is not working correctly [14:53] logabr: check the logs [14:53] ive tried updating and upgrading, ive also tried replacing/updating kernel headers [14:54] 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] ive downloaded the drivers and tried a few walkthroughs ive found but still nothing [14:54] how can i make ubuntu boot faster? [14:55] tintin, get an ssd drive [14:55] 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] rAg3: so its been done http://is.gd/m6WI90 [14:55] compdoc: what is that ssd drive? why do i need it? i have 1TB hard drive [14:55] compdoc, I shall give that a shot [14:55] how do i fix broken pipes to load ubuntu [14:55] rAg3: except i can't try it [14:56] maybe from suspend i can [14:56] subman, for server, I always select LAMP, samba, and openssh for the services [14:56] 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] she_dyed: wait , let me check it out [14:56] need some guide to fix this [14:56] compdoc: what is that ssd drive? why do i need it? i have 1TB hard drive [14:56] 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 [14:57] tintin, a 1TB drive should be modern enough to be fast [14:57] does hard drive make ubuntu to boot faster? [14:57] tintin: a ssd would [14:57] she_dyed: it uses rtcwake , and rtcwake fails to suspend my system [14:58] Does flash update with ubuntu update/-grade or do I have to update flash manually [14:58] xzcvczx: why? [14:59] she_dyed: suspend to "standby" not available , thats the error i get , limitation of my bios , maybe [14:59] tintin: http://bit.ly/117beBR [14:59] tintin, what cpu do you have? [14:59] intel pentium D [14:59] rAg3: uspend to standy != hibernate? [14:59] 2.66GHz [14:59] pretty old, isnt it? [14:59] she_dyed: nope !! [14:59] she_dyed: hibernate is suspend to disk [15:00] good! [15:00] has anybody had any problems with realtek wireless drivers on laptop with 12.10? [15:00] compdoc: so what? [15:00] because a reboot her rAg3 will cause it to go to wrong OS [15:00] here* [15:00] tintin: so if you get a newer computer it will help speed up the boot [15:00] rAg3: let me try [15:01] 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] she_dyed: i didnt get u !! if u have grub installed , u can configure it to boot to os of your choice [15:01] tintin: how old is the install and which ubuntu version is it? [15:01] hello [15:02] i am going to install ubuntu 13.04 [15:02] 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] rAg3: i want a way to pick the default from grub cli and save that [15:03] rAg3: but thats another issue for another day [15:03] she_dyed you can always make changes in grub config file and use update grub, u have to use "savedefaults" for that [15:03] 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] rAg3: but i can't find the config it came from [15:04] she_dyed: what version of ubuntu are u using? [15:04] patition /boot, swap, / on ssd the /home on hdd. [15:04] how fast does it boot off of ssd? [15:05] i have xubuntu 12.04 on ssd my boot time is about 3 seconds after splash screen [15:05] just a curious question. won't swap wear out that part of the ssd? [15:05] rAg3: let me check that suspend [15:05] duhamel: thats FAST !! faster than mine :D [15:05] from the time splash comes up to the time i can get on the net. [15:06] I can't get mysql-server reinstalled [15:06] duhamel: ok , much faster [15:06] It says that it can't set the root password. [15:06] How do I fix that?

[15:47] thanks rag, I wasnt looking for a maybe, but thank you. I am trying to find out why mint xfce works out of the box to surf internet, play vids, but xubuntu does not. [15:47] subman, version 6002 supports the newer cpus [15:47] I have /dev/sda11 sda10 sda9 sda8 and sda6 as 4 gb partitions and they don't have any file system [15:47] rymate1234, ii) kde-plasma-desktop --- This will install the core -- the bare-minimum required-- of KDE. That is, kdebase-apps, kdebase-runtime, kdebase-workspace and kdm. [15:47] is it normal? [15:47] rAg3: sorry im a noob [15:47] you are two versions behind [15:47] compdoc, link for the update? [15:47] the reason is that i wold prefer to use zubuntu, or at least try it out, but i cant get it to playy vids right on the browsers, i need chrome and firefox [15:47] thanks packetfrog [15:47] rymate1234, sudo tasksel kde-plasma-desktop [15:48] i think [15:48] compiz core couldn't open display [15:48] duhamel: yes , make sure u extract it and copy it there [15:48] no protocol specified [15:48] http://www.asus.com/Motherboards/F2A55M_LK/#support_Download_8 [15:48] myscithaman: ubuntu used to have a package called ubuntu-restricted-extras or some such. It contained all the codecs that are usually supplied by other distros by default. Don't know if that will help you or not, but worth a shot === Neozonz|Disconne is now known as Neozonz [15:49] duhamel: its alright ... everyone is at some point [15:49] duhamel: i still am :D [15:49] thanks th0r i tried it, didnt work, maybe it needed restart. [15:49] maybe this UCA202? but what are the inputs? I see no midi in. [15:50] myscithaman: I have also run into problems with the restricted version of ffmpeg that ubuntu uses....it isn't complete. [15:50] What shoudl i install to get compiz running? [15:51] rAg3: all together we only know a drop of all there is to know. our species is noob in the cosmic scheme of things. [15:51] pradyumna, sounds like your not running in an Xorg session [15:51] duhamel: that was too much for me to digest in one go !! i'll save this for later reference [15:51] :D === elixir_ is now known as elixir [15:52] pradyumna: afaik openbox won't play with compiz [15:53] it has an available compositor iirc [15:53] rymate1234: Xorg session is running [15:53] id need some more help by someone... [15:53] pradyumna: might be easier to install xubuntu or ubuntu then start stripping unwanted featres [15:53] she_dyed: what do i install ? [15:53] cosmiccigarette: just ask for it . [15:54] ok so heres my problem once again [15:54] i use ubuntu on a netbook(eee pc seashell in case anyone cares) and i use an external keyboard with a numpad. since i first connected the external keyboard ubuntu tries to use the same keyboard layout for my internal keyboard as it uses for the external. the problem is the internal doesnt have a numpad so the keyboard layout is now messed up because the system tries to use the right half of the internal keyboard as a numpad... [15:54] any ideas on how to fix this? [15:54] subman, I have seen bios updates slove many problems. you just need to but the new bios on a usb stick, then enter the bios and use the flash util inthere [15:54] *solve [15:54] back again sorry internet problem. How do I use ubuntu for a proxy server and which version do I use? [15:54] compdoc, I'm working on it now [15:54] pradyumna: what packetfrog was suggesting [15:55] compdoc. yes usb update of bios is an awesome feature [15:55] cyberglyph #ubuntu-server [15:55] cosmiccigarette: you need to tell the netbook you are using a different keyboard. When you open the screen to define the keyboard, it will give you the chance to test the various keys to make sure you have picked the right one [15:55] ok never used command line before is it pretty tough? [15:55] well i have picked the right one [15:55] go xubuntu or Ubuntu depending how precious your time is [15:55] Xubuntu. [15:55] Ubuntu is crap. [15:55] the problem is i need two different layouts because i have one keyboard with and one without numpad [15:55] :> [15:55] * packetfrog hides [15:56] see realworld experience lol [15:56] cosmiccigarette: and each time you switch you are going to have to tell the system which one you are using [15:56] during boot i getting this not able to login *Help [15:56] Could not update ICEauthority file /home/me/.ICEauthority [15:56] how so? [15:56] cyberglyph: for a http proxy ? [15:56] cyberglyph: will it be a caching server? [15:57] cosmiccigarette: in xubuntu it is in Settings - Keyboard [15:57] http proxy I believe Im not sure what caching server is sorry kinda new to proxy stuff [15:57] cosmiccigarette, Did you hit Num Lock on the keyboard? [15:57] >:D [15:57] hola [15:57] yes i did [15:58] alguien de españa [15:58] !es [15:58] 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] if numlock is disabled on the external keyboard the keys on the internal are disabled too [15:58] because the system takes them as a numpad [15:58] cyberglyph: http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Proxy_server#Caching [15:58] how to search with apt-get? Like in Yum search ***** [15:58] pradyumna: try apt-cache search [15:59] i have done a dierctory rm -rf about 1 minute ago now how i can retrive that file [15:59] cyberglyph: read it and then tell me what do you decide , caching proxy or a transparent one [16:00] there is no keyboard layout with/without numpad theres just layouts for different languages... === security is now known as megha [16:01] It looks like transparent proxy to hide my ip from the internet and surf anonymously. [16:01] cyberglyph, Is this server going to be on the same network as your computers you use? [16:02] rAg3: i moved the bin file into /lib/firmware and rebooted but there is no difference [16:02] cyberglyph: its not that transparent !! [16:02] yeah its gonna be right next to my main pc and other wireless computer on my home network [16:02] cyberglyph: use polipo proxy server [16:02] cyberglyph, It wont hide you then. [16:03] cyberglyph, It will show up outside as your same external IP. [16:03] cyberglyph: with ubuntu 12.04 , and no proxy server is entirely anonymous [16:03] #1network---->(proxy)---->internetz [16:03] if the proxy is IN #1network its not hiding your networks external IP [16:04] duhamel: download firmware for your device http://www.mediatek.com/_en/07_downloads/01_windows.php?sn=501 [16:04] I want to surf safe and not goto a website and see where I live [16:04] 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? [16:05] duhamel: do ls -la , you'll know the permissions of all other files [16:05] like : whats my ip website tells exactly my current static ip and exactly where I live yikes! [16:05] cyberglyph, http://anonymouse.org/anonwww.html [16:05] duhamel: it should b rw-r--r-- for all files [16:05] its not exactly where you live [16:05] its where your ISP is located [16:05] duhamel: and owned by root [16:06] anyone played "Speed Dreams on Ubuntu 12 ? === Santosh is now known as Guest60679 [16:06] yes [16:06] cyberglyph: thats not possible , or u can use tor to do that !! that way no one will know your real location [16:06] hows the control ?

[16:07] 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] rAg3: that is what it says. [16:07] Its slow and annoying [16:07] duhamel: just make the changes and it should work [16:08] packetfrog its only slow if youre using stuff like tor [16:08] why is it bad to do that? [16:08] duhamel: no .. u see .. the duhamen duhamel ? it is owned by you , it should b owned by root root [16:08] cyberglyph, On the IRC you want to register and get a cloak, your IP is seen here. [16:08] are the controls on speed dreams any better than torcs ? is it worth installing ? [16:08] duhamel: so just do this .. sudo chown root:root rt3290.bin [16:09] cyberglyph, in #freenode you can give yourself some anonymity by asking for a cloak [16:09] Anyone know how to update the BIOS? I'm using the new UEFI Asus bios [16:09] or use a vpn proxy for a few bucks a month [16:09] cyberglyph, strictly for frenode server tho [16:09] Any one knows how I can stop jackdbus from autostarting ? there seems no conf in /etc/init [16:09] but still jackdbus auto starts. [16:09] I dont' seem to be able to find any information on how to do that [16:09] BluesKaj : how can one ask for a cloak ? [16:10] rAg3: should i also change permission? [16:10] dexterdj, in the #freenode chat [16:10] !cloak [16:10] 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] duhamel: no the permissiions are fine [16:10] 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. [16:11] wilee-nilee, all other options to install Ubuntu on this new machine have failed [16:11] Thank you. [16:11] subman, I doubt a bios update will fixs it, have you read the UEFI wiki? [16:11] subman: its easy to blame BIOS [16:12] wilee-nilee, yes. Ubuntu installed, it just won't run [16:12] whats the difference between chroot and jail ? [16:12] !details | subman [16:12] 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] rAg3: still a no go [16:13] !ubuntu-arm [16:13] !arm [16:13] 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] thanks [16:13] shmoon, Chroot is accessing a OS from another in root, jail is locking up something. [16:13] it's not the same as ubuntu phone is it? [16:13] 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 [16:14] duhamel: ok .. one more try, download your corresponding driver from http://www.mediatek.com/_en/07_downloads/01_windows.php?sn=501 [16:14] wilee-nilee, RAM has been tested and passed [16:14] try changing boot parameters in grub [16:14] duhamel: and delete the one you copied into /lib/firmware [16:14] 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. [16:15] shmoon, Completely different. [16:15] wilee-nilee: can you explain [16:15] wilee-nilee, motherboard is an asus F2A55-M LK and the cpu is an AMD A6 5400K [16:15] |pez|: yes it is , shared hostings do it all the time , limiting users to their assigned directories [16:16] wilee-nilee, Ubuntu 12.04 64 bit is being used [16:16] <|pez|> Without using ftp or anything like that? [16:16] 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] rAg3: how do i find out which file to download? [16:16] install rssh and see /etc/rssh.conf [16:16] 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] !chroot [16:16] 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 [16:17] shmoon, Give the channel your info, not me. [16:17] duhamel: give me the snippet again ? lspci -nn for your wireless ? [16:17] 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. A signal is still being put out as the screen does not go into standby, but it is just black. Can anyone help me [16:18] wilee-nilee: can you link me to a page that explains differencE? [16:18] honestly when read this https://help.ubuntu.com/community/BasicChroot - then thats what i understand [16:18] spacedementia87, This is ubuntu support of canonical releases.

Please use #ubuntu-offtopic for other topics (though our !guidelines apply there too). Thanks! [16:37] 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?

[16:59] bazhang: nomodeset did not change anything [17:00] 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] 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 [17:01] delocaz: where did you type it, its for boot/grub screen [17:01] she_dyed, thanks [17:01] gl [17:01] subman: why? [17:01] 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] subman: UEFI isn't much of an issue. [17:02] !nomodeset | she_dyed [17:02] 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] myth, it sure is on this motherboard/cpu combination [17:02] she_dyed, so, for example, "fuser -m /dev/sdb1" to see what's using that device? [17:02] subman: no it isn't [17:03] myth, ok [17:03] semitones: ii think it's different for device, sometimes umount would be enough [17:03] subman: have you tried installing ubuntu on that box yet? [17:03] myth, yup [17:03] 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] 32 bit version? [17:03] myth, 64 [17:03] subman: tried disabling secure boot? [17:04] myth, yup [17:04] subman: what was the issue? [17:04] subman nvidia graphics? [17:05] myth, stops booting at: stops at 'kernel panic- not syncing: no init found. Try passing init=options to the kernel [17:05] uh... install gentoo [17:05] is possible to continue use 10.04 ? [17:06] subman: what cpu? [17:06] aguitel: yes [17:06] histo, AMD A6 5400K [17:06] subman: That means the initrd file is not found - use a live cd to check the settings of your bootloader and the existance of that file. [17:06] subman: What disk are you usijng to install? [17:06] histo, what about updates ? [17:06] histo, 64 Bit Ubuntu live usb [17:06] aguitel: Only for the server edition, not for the desktop. [17:06] !eol | aguitel [17:07] aguitel: End-Of-Life is the time when security updates and support for an Ubuntu release stop, see https://wiki.ubuntu.com/Releases for more information. Looking to upgrade from an EOL release? See https://help.ubuntu.com/community/EOLUpgrades [17:07] subman: which version [17:07] histo, 12.04 [17:07] subman: is the cd booting in efi mode? [17:07] live usb [17:07] err usb [17:07] histo, the bios shows the usb stick to be in EFI mode [17:07] make sure mainboard allows booting from alternate devices [17:08] subman: yeah that doesn't mean squat. let me send you directions from ubottu [17:08] :q [17:08] 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] !uefi | subman efi is quite tricky to get working [17:08] 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] histo, yeah, follow those directions. === alexis is now known as Guest91904 [17:09] subman: well can you disable efi in the bios and enable legacy mode? [17:09] histo, oops, yes, I've followed those instructions [17:09] histo, yes. [17:09] subman: and when you boot in legacy mode? [17:11] histo, same result. No boot, kernel panic [17:12] trism: figured it out. i need python3 version which is only in raring [17:12] 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? [17:13] histo, here is the output from the boot-repair if that is of any help. http://paste.ubuntu.com/5708205/ [17:13] cornfeedhobo: ah that would do it [17:13] histo, it does not boot in legacy mode. [17:14] subman: how'd you get boot repair to run? [17:14] histo, live usb [17:14] yup [17:15] subman: So the live usb boots fine? [17:15] histo, yes [17:15] So can anyone help me with my problem? [17:16] 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] what should i use to have a IMAP email serv running on ubuntu 12 [17:16] salve [17:16] film 2013 ita [17:16] jain kubuntu [17:17] subman: also sda is partitioned using msdos mbr instead of gpt and there is no fat32 efi partition [17:17] Anyone? [17:17] si [17:17] histo, so I guess the default install does not work properly with 12.04? We just chose to erase the disk and install Ubuntu [17:18] 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 [17:19] histo, actually the uefi ubuntu page says 12.04.02 and 12.10 should handle this all automatically [17:19] delocaz, SiS "graphics card ? are you sure , run lspci | grep VGA and pastebin the out put pls [17:20] BluesKaj: How do I get to a terminal from a live CD that won't load the GUI [17:20] delocaz: Ctrl-Alt-F2, but I suggest you not use Ubuntu on such old hardware. There're better options. [17:21] theadmin: That's why I said *L*ubuntu :) [17:21] histo, so this uefi stuff really is a nightmare [17:21] delocaz: Oh, sorry, I joined not so long ago and didn't see [17:21] hey, question [17:21] film una famiglia perfetta [17:22] delocaz, you're in the tty , just run the command [17:22] 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] 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 === lukas_ is now known as Guest85111 [17:22] subman: yes. It's even worse with 32bit efi [17:22] so instead of dragging from the point i clicked on it drags from whatever the mouse was over when it kicked in [17:22] any way to figure out why it's doing this? [17:22] 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. [17:23] histo, not really installable anymore by the average person now. [17:23] delocaz, the alternate is now a net install. http://www.ubuntu.com/download/desktop/alternative-downloads [17:23] subman: it's new. With each new version of ubuntu it will get better. Like 13.04 etc... [17:23] subman: and people don't understand it completely [17:23] Where is the | key on an English keyboard or how do I change the layout [17:23] histo, yes but I need hardware running now [17:24] any codeblocks users here? [17:24] delocaz: It's supposed to be the same key as \, but on the second level (Shift) [17:24] and \ is... where? :) [17:24] delocaz: it's near the enter and backspace keys [17:24] 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] Thanks [17:24] exact position varies depending on keyboard especially with international layouts [17:24] what is your physical keyboard layout? [17:24] delocaz: err, well: http://i.imgur.com/pNrmwFQ.png [17:25] like, on UK it's equivalent to the #/~ key i think [17:25] On Danish keyboards it's Alt and the key next to + [17:25] NewbieBodhi, The channel works with you stating an actual problem. ;) [17:25] 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] subman: try 13.04 [17:25] ...right no i mean i would say which key on your keyboard is the same physical key as \ on US [17:25] Okay, it's next to Z [17:25] histo, well the rest of the fix seems beyond my capabilities. [17:25] ah, no, the one next to Z is a different one [17:26] try your '/* key next to enter [17:26] (if the one next to z works, great for you, but that key doesn't physically exist on US keyboards) [17:26] and some US keyboard layout software may not support it [17:26] 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 [17:27] helo i have problem with my new vebcam, can not finde a driver for thise model Z-cam MT4029B [17:28] BluesKaj: 01:00.0 VGA compatible controller: Silicon Integrated Systems [SiS] 661/741/760 PCI/AGP or 662/761Gx PCIE VGA Display Adapter [17:28] !cam | musiek start here [17:28] musiek start here: Instructions for using webcams with Ubuntu can be found at https://help.ubuntu.com/community/Webcam - Supported cams: https://wiki.ubuntu.com/HardwareSupportComponentsMultimediaWebCameras [17:28] NewbieBodhi, I see a #codeblocks channel few users but maybe some more help. [17:28] histo, I'll give 13.04 a shot then if that does not work, towel is thrown in! [17:29] i have postet my question in the codeblocks channel, 10 minutes ago. until now i got no answer there, wilee-nilee [17:29] subman: or try another distro after that. Like debian wheezy [17:29] ubottu thx i try fix it [17:29] musiek: I am only a bot, please don't think I'm intelligent :) [17:30] 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] histo, I'd love to but I dont' have a whole bunch of time [17:30] ubottu ok but u know more as me [17:30] musiek: I am only a bot, please don't think I'm intelligent :) [17:30] histo, this has to be costing Linux a lot of new users [17:30] Hello power management is not working within my ubuntu 12.04.2 virtual machine and would like to get it working. Nothing shows up under /sys/devices/system/cpu/cpu0/cpufreq/ . I have isntall cpufreq and under /proc/cpuinfo power management is blank. The cpu is an amd fx8320 [17:31] subman: Well, UEFI is fairly new. Ubuntu has the best support for it, actually. [17:31] subman: yes there are a lot of people that don't want to read or understand it. [17:31] wilee-nilee: Yesterday I tried the alternate installer for Xubuntu, and after installation, it gave me a garbled screen with a cursor [17:31] theadmin: that's not true [17:31] histo: Who does it better? [17:31] histo: Apart from Windows/OS X of course. I mean Linux distros. [17:31] musiek, Not much on the web on this camera and ubuntu, I found this no fix it seems, I would get a cam that plugs and works if it were me. https://answers.launchpad.net/ubuntu/+source/cheese/+question/212493 [17:32] film 2012 ita [17:32] !piracy | pasquale [17:32] ubottu :P [17:32] pasquale: piracy discussion and other questionably legal practices are not welcome in the Ubuntu channels. Please take this discussion elsewhere or abstain from it altogether. This includes linking to pirated software, music, and video. Also see !guidelines and !o4o [17:33] wait, crap [17:33] delocaz, I thought you had. [17:33] but it dont work at skype [17:33] Had what? [17:34] theadmin: arch ... debian wheezy [17:34] musiek, Is that the only problem, it works otherwise? [17:35] not good but my pc see it [17:35] histo: You may be right, but those are absolutely impossible to install for someone new to Linux. [17:35] theadmin: so is ubuntu for subman [17:35] Wondering if I should give up on Ubuntu for an SiS card and just proceed to Debian or Arch [17:36] musiek, If you want help you have to give exact details. [17:36] my skype dont see my webcam [17:37] musiek, di you install from the repos or skype, and what release are you running? [17:37] yes [17:37] i imagine sis sucks on every distro delocaz [17:37] from skype webside [17:37] musiek, You can tab complete nicks as well, and I saked you a question yes does not answer. [17:38] dr_willis: I tried Debian and it worked... Wanted Ubuntu though [17:38] ah skype website, what ubuntu release? musiek [17:38] delocaz: drivers and xshould be the same. check the versions [17:39] dr_willis: What?

The install seems to have locked up at the "Who are you?" screen [17:40] im suprised sis works on any linux. ;-) [17:40] dr_willis: How do I see which versions of X Debian and Ubuntu has? [17:41] spacedementia87: Try shutting down your computer and starting it back up. You're lucky it didn't freeze while it was partitioning :) [17:41] polish [17:41] I have already tried that [17:41] Stopped at the same place [17:41] delocaz: package manager tools [17:41] !pl | musiek YOU might get better help here.

It requires you to choose a picture or something === dpac|away is now known as dpac [17:43] spacedementia87: Press any key while the screen is blank and there's a little icon in the bottom middle, before the 4 dots come on. [17:43] spacedementia87: Then select something about checking CD integrety [17:44] I need to be alerted on my desktop when the contents of a directory changes (recursively). Does anyone know how I can do that please? [17:44] spacedementia87, Have you checked the disc with a md5sum or at the power on choices? [17:44] I am booting off the USB but I will try that anyway [17:44] spacedementia87, You can check the md5 of the ISO. [17:45] just did the integrity check. Seems to be fine [17:45] oh no sorry, it is still going on [17:45] spacedementia87, Where? [17:45] spacedementia87, Yeah 10 seconds does not do it. [17:45] Whilt it was booting.

Checked md5 before writing it [18:02] Shall I erase old install and try again? [18:03] spacedementia87, It sounded like all you did was make the partitions, and was getting stuck in the setup process is this correct?

[18:13] does anyone here know about ssl client certificates ? [18:13] Nah, I downloaded again from the ubuntu website [18:14] Hi I have a question. is it recommended to disable framebuffer and vertex buffer objects in compizconfig settings manager? [18:16] spacedementia87, I'm not aware of the who are you screen, is this the set user name and password part of the install? [18:16] yes [18:16] spacedementia87, and you are putting in a password, can you describe this freeze? [18:19] I put in a password and choose log in automatically [18:19] then I click next and it stays on that screen, the install bar stops moving, and the cursor stays as the spinning "busy" cursor [18:21] at which point spacedementia87 can hit ctl-alt f4 to see what its doing [18:21] or was it f6 [18:21] ok I will try that next time [18:21] I am unable to get power management working on my machine. Nothing is listed under /sys/devices/system/cpu/cpu0/cpufreq the folder does not exist [18:23] Shadow__X: start looking at logs, and your BIOS should say 'Let OS handle power management YES' [18:24] hello, I'd like to go about making a sandbox for running one particular program and saving output to a file. The arguments to this program will be from the internet. Anyone suggest a good approach / place to start looking? [18:24] ideally, they should not be able to run anything else but this one program [18:24] i tried ctrl+alt+F1-6 [18:25] all just show a prompt and nothing else [18:25] spacedementia87, Did you make new partitions, or try to install in what is already there. [18:25] asking me to log in [18:25] Yes I made new partitions [18:26] she_dyed: well cpufreq fails to modprobe and other machines are properly handing power management its just this linux machine [18:26] BIOS checked out Shadow__X [18:26] ? === oscailt is now known as updates [18:27] Odd... Why doesn't Lubuntu work with SiS cards when Zorin OS (Lubuntu derivative) does? [18:27] she_dyed: yup. Its an ubuntu VM on esxi 5.1 The other virtual machines handle power management as expected this problem is within the ubuntu vm === updates is now known as oscailt [18:28] any ideas [18:28] Shadow__X: modprobe will work if its got direct access to HW [18:28] in cpuinfo it does list the cpu [18:29] and cpu0? === dpac is now known as dpac|away [18:29] she_dyed: but power management is blank. cpu0 is present but there is not a cpufreq folder [18:29] i have another question [18:29] i cant install ubuntu on this computer [18:29] --> Jevermeister (~Jevermeis@unaffiliated/jever) has joined ##c [18:29] but i still love it and i wonder if there some ability to tweak the live cd so i dont apt-get every time the packages and include the whole thing in iso [18:29] airepwn-ng: Please don't flood; use http://paste.ubuntu.com to paste; don't use Enter as punctuation. [18:31] Shadow__X: perhaps it does find cpu0 but in a vm won't let you supersede the host's power management [18:32] am I just stuck on installing ubuntu then? [18:34] delocaz: find out what driver zorin uses then [18:35] damn* MAtrox graphic card :/ [18:36] she_dyed: the vm should be able to control the cpu power management [18:36] she_dyed: in a freebsd vm (pfsense) and in a windows 7 vm the cpu will clock down without a problem === SpindizZzy|AFK is now known as SpindizZzy [18:37] hello guys, I'm getting problem with boxfs "Error while logging in to Box.net" (even though the user/pass are correct)... on /var/log/messages it says "kernel: [12913459.413557] boxfs[7789]: segfault at 18 ip 0000000000402c7b sp 00007fff1f955fe0 error 4 in boxfs[400000+9000]" , any idea? or any alternative for cloud storage mounted as FS?

[18:41] 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] !git | mariorz [18:41] 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) [18:42] 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] that was not really helpful [18:42] mariorz: do know haow to use git ? [18:42] do you rather [18:43] yes, why? [18:43] ok then finish installing theose git depends [18:43] 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. [18:44] OkropNick: how does that follow? [18:44] sorry, BluesKaj ^ [18:44] anyone have solutions for fixing screen tearing in videos played by a media player? [18:44] Does one use OPCODEDIR64=/usr/local/lib/csound/plugins64 or OPCODEDIR64="/usr/local/lib/csound/plugins64" if one wants to set an environmental variable? [18:44] ok i'll report back what I find [18:44] i thought the point of apt is that in handles deps for you [18:44] spacedementia87, lspci in the terminal will list some hardware. [18:45] I know I am using the ASROCK E350M [18:48] anyone? [18:50] Shadow__X it would do to post in the forum as well [18:54] problem: cant get rigs of rods to install. using lubuntu 12.10 [18:56] how do I check to see if there are any updates for my open source driver?

[18:58] didnt know about "vi" command [18:59] my mesa version is 9.0.3, is that the latest? [18:59] dream_: normal apt-get update and upgrade ? [18:59] why doesnt empathy show all infos of whois? === roko is now known as stabyou [18:59] iansir: you can do 'sudo nano ' too - it's probably easier to use than vi if you're new [18:59] no not that way bleu [18:59] i saw a command on console for upgrading [18:59] sorta alert and ran that command [19:00] LinuxHorst: Because empathy is an instant messenger and not an IRC client :) [19:00] yeah im trying to run openVPN on a VMware Player Ubuntu instance [19:00] dream_: no backups? [19:00] steep learning curve [19:00] no backups [19:00] bekks, it is also an irc client [19:00] but upgrade failed and system always hangs when rebooted [19:00] dream_, use a live cd to take a backup first [19:01] Ari-Yang, If you spread the info over the channel instead of one detailed statement it is hard to follow or understand you problem. [19:01] LinuxHorst: It is an instant messenger with basic IRC functionality added. [19:01] dream_: +1 what the_eye_ says [19:01] dream_: what command exactly , you can scroll back in the terminal prompt using the ^ arrow keys to find it. [19:02] iblah blah release blah blah [19:02] command [19:02] okay I'll say it again (I did say this earlier o:). I'm experiencing tearing when watching videos on my media player. Any solution to resolve this? Even when sync to vblank is enabled, I still get tearing.. I don't know if it means that I have to update my open source driver or not. [19:03] dream_: that's some helpful detail [19:04] !details | dream_ You are missing a handful of these [19:04] dream_ You are missing a handful of these: 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 ..." [19:04] Ari-Yang, what is your vga ?

[19:07] Ari-Yang, Sorry i don't know about ATI series [19:07] and here is my glxinfo http://pastebin.com/raw.php?i=YUFVVVmX not sure if there are updates for open source driver (and dunno if that would help solve tearing) [19:08] Hi Guise!!!! anyone experienced with rkhunter that could take a look at my log and see if this box is compromised? http://paste.ubuntu.com/5708555/ [19:09] Doug666: what would make you think the box is compromised? === SpindizZzy|AFK is now known as SpindizZzy [19:10] because I found some ports opened ... without installing anything else.. and I get some warnings on the rkhunter logs [19:10] hmm i had better luck editing that file with [19:10] gksudo gedit [19:10] All of a sudden, my mouse pointer started jumping to the center left of my screen. It happens a second or so after moving the cursor. Really annoying. Any ideas? [19:10] yeats, because I found some ports opened ... without installing anything else.. and I get some warnings on the rkhunter logs [19:10] Doug666: I don't see anything obviously wrong in what you pasted [19:10] Doug666: what ports? [19:11] I already closed them but let me check the history just a sec [19:11] oal, try a new mousepad [19:11] the_eye_: It's a desktop, with a normal mouse [19:12] oal, mousepad not touchpad [19:12] wilee-nilee your very right as to ask for spesific details but i m really a noob, that was my testing web server, the only thing i would ask is the simplest method to get my bash back [19:12] yeats, 50505 tcp, 7634 tcp, 7337 tcp, 3790 tcp, 3001 tcp [19:12] the_eye_: oh, well, it can't be that. It jumps to the exact same position every other second. 50% down and ~5% from the left edge [19:13] after the ....release ..upgradee command it downloaded all necessary files is all i can say [19:13] but gave an error as it couldnt finish the tast [19:13] how to pm on irc channel [19:14] is there a way i can reinstall 10.04 without losing data and without having to repartition? [19:14] I need a way to adjust my brightness that isn't echo 1200 | sudo tee /sys/class/backlight/intel_backlight/brightness [19:15] Doug666: if you're concerned about unauthorized access, check the /var/log/auth logs (and probably syslog and any others) [19:15] chunkyhead: always ask the person you want to pm first , if yes , the right click on his/her nick and choose "open query" [19:15] chunkyhead: better to ask ubuntu questions to the full channel [19:16] BluesKaj, is there a command instead of clicking? yeats i knw i will ask someone and then pm i'm just exploring irc hence was asking yo guys [19:16] Howdy, I'm thinking of running ubuntu server for a home media server, would this work for me? [19:16] Doug666, nothing looks out of place there, hoever using that tool is a waste of time without knowing what you are doing. [19:16] chunkyhead: /msg [19:17] Doug666, try sockstat -4l [19:17] the_eye_: haha, it was my wacom tablet that was plugged in, and the pen was lying on the tablet ... I feel stupid now :p [19:17] wilee-nilee, could you please check http://paste.ubuntu.com/5708583/ [19:17] jab416171, thanks :D [19:17] oal, :) [19:17] jab416171, message should be in quotes? [19:18] Doug666, loosen the tinfoil cap. ;) === Kitar|st_ is now known as Kitar|st [19:18] chunkyhead: depends on the client, !tias [19:18] hmm... I tried x11 video output on my media player, and it doesn't look like I get tearing..... technically not a solution, but if I don't get tearing then I might as well use it instead of opengl... [19:18] Ok I found a message saying I needed to use the 64bit version. So i have tried that and get exactly the same problem [19:18] !tias | chunkyhead [19:18] lame [19:18] what's tias? jab416171 [19:18] try it and see [19:19] the_eye_, it says it is the wrong command [19:19] the_eye_, that option 4 is not a valid argument [19:19] Howdy, I'm thinking of running ubuntu server for a home media server, would this work for me? [19:19] jab416171, what do you mean try? [19:19] using ubuntu server? [19:20] chunkyhead: try PMing someone with and without quotes, and see what happens [19:20] jab416171, can i pm you? [19:20] sure [19:20] :( this is really sucky. Why can't I install ubuntu? [19:20] spacedementia87, whats the problem? [19:21] Doug666, try this : sudo lsof +M -i4 [19:21] though the problem with x11 is that the colorspace details are not fully supported =/ [19:21] I boot up from the liveUSB and then I go through the setup process after the "who are you?" screen the install just locks up. The cursor stays on the busy circle thing [19:22] spacedementia, maybe bad usb? [19:22] this is the 4th I have tried [19:22] hmm, what program are you using to load the OS onto the USB? [19:22] I have tried LiLi and universal usb installer [19:23] the_eye_, http://paste.ubuntu.com/5708601/ [19:23] format usb, and use Unetbootin. [19:23] Hello all, I'm having drive issues. I have two laptop hdd's as sda and sdb, all setup with lvm and all of a sudden /dev/sdb can't be found at all with fdisk, vgchange -ay won't activate, dmesg is filled with errors and smartmontools says my HDD is perfectly fine. Can anyone direct me to another tool to check other types of HDD errors? [19:23] Doug666, do you use openvpn ? === jack is now known as Guest36931 [19:24] yeah [19:24] the_eye_, yeah I use it [19:24] bad idea ;) [19:24] just my 5cents [19:25] ok will try [19:26] Doug666, it seems ok, if you need extra security use firestarter [19:26] Anyone? [19:26] cooool !!! thank you the_eye [19:26] the_eye_, is it better to use firestarter or to use an external firewall? [19:27] Doug666: Use both. [19:27] bekks, coool will do :) thank you. [19:27] Doug666, whatever you like [19:27] nice.. thank you the_eye [19:29] Nvveen did u tru badblock ? sudo badblocks -v /dev/sdb [19:29] any advice for installing ubuntu 12.04.2 on a win 8 machince? [19:30] Can anyone explain to me why most of the linux community counts user-Unfriendliness as a strength? (not trying to flame) [19:30] tomatobros, I did, it just spits out numbers [19:30] !uefi > WillisIVXX yes read this and use the ubuntu forums for help. [19:30] WillisIVXX, please see my private message [19:31] I feel like the linux community focuses too much on the RTFM mentality sometimes [19:31] !ot | reokie [19:31] reokie: #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! [19:32] hey [19:32] tomatobros, I think smartmontools actually failed. I installed gsmartcontrol and it won't let me do the short test [19:32] Says it fails [19:32] why do my gtk apps in kde look like relics from windows 98? [19:33] rymate1234: that's not just you - the two environments don't play well together visually [19:33] rymate1234: because knowlege and the way of hot to solve the problems is better then noobism [19:33] sorry === hack is now known as Guest47808 [19:34] reokie: because knowlege and the way of hot to solve the problems is better then noobism [19:34] rymate1234: you need to set the gtk fonts up in kmenu.system settings>applications&appearnce [19:34] I have [19:34] set it all to oxygen-gtk [19:34] still looks fugly [19:34] what is the best way to access a folder on another ubuntu machine? [19:34] johnjohn1101, walk over and use the mouse xD [19:35] rymate1234: do so as root in the run command (alt+F2) , kdesudo systemsettings [19:35] Nvveen try Spinrite [19:35] BluesKaj: does nothing [19:35] johnjohn1011, nfs [19:35] tomatobros, never mind, another test was still running for some reason [19:35] rymate1234: try a relogin [19:36] I just did one [19:36] 5 minutes ago [19:36] then reboot [19:36] why should I need to reboot? [19:36] after the changes as root ? [19:36] files can be changed as they are being used [19:36] this isn't windows [19:37] * BluesKaj prays for patience [19:37] how can i move a file from ~/Downloads to /etc/openvpn? "cp file1 /etc/openvpn" isn't working [19:37] Permission denied === Garr2551 is now known as Garr255 [19:37] I already rebooted after i installed BluesKaj [19:37] so annoying [19:37] so I don't know why I should have to reboot again [19:37] ok then fine , have it your way , rymate1234 [19:38] iansir sudo ? [19:38] BluesKaj: I wouldn't expect kdesudo to work when I haven't explicitly installed it [19:39] I only installed kde-plasma-desktop and the packages I thought would make gtk apps not suck [19:39] thanks tomato [19:39] forgot that part :/ [19:39] :) === qos is now known as qos|away [19:40] rymate1234 , then have fun , keep thinking [19:40] Can anyone help me with amazon instant video on chrome? [19:41] amazon support told me to do exactly what I had already done. [19:41] then I had to install firefox to prove that the same issue persisted [19:41] fmkilo, post the question/error, if someone knows/has the answer they will help. [19:42] Ok I used that new USB creator tool I was recommended and I am getting stuck at the same place [19:42] spacedementia, you get any error? [19:42] 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] no just see the spinning busy cursor again [19:43] you give it any time to think? [19:43] FMkilo, flash up to date? [19:43] It has been like that for 5 minutes now [19:43] yeah [19:43] tomatobros, gsmartcontrol does the same thing again now, the short self-test keeps hanging at 90% [19:43] updated it today [19:43] FMKilo, updated browser? [19:43] BluesKaj: surprisingly, kdesudo now works after I installed the package. No reboot required [19:43] updated today. [19:44] spacedementia, any black screen, maybe usb is loose? [19:44] Nvveen is /dev/sdb mounted ? [19:44] FMKilo, any system updates pushed? [19:44] FMKilo, known issue, see this tread > http://ubuntuforums.org/showthread.php?t=2121086&page=2 solution i do not recommend: downgrade flash [19:44] No no black screen, Still showing the "Who are you?" screen [19:44] rymate1234: i never had to install kdesudo ,, i've been on kde for yrs so ne need [19:44] no need [19:44] USB is in fine. Would be quite a coincidence if it locked up at the same place every time [19:44] FMKilo try google chrome with pepper flash it may help [19:45] spacedementia, is your hash the same as the one on the ubuntu website? [19:45] tomatobros, gsmartcontrol does the same thing again now, the short self-test keeps hanging at 90% [19:45] pepper flash doesn't work at all. it tells you to disable it. [19:45] I will check now, but it was last time I checked [19:46] BluesKaj: well I only installed it today, and I didn't install kdesudo [19:46] Nvveen_ if /dev/sdb mounted try umount and run test again [19:47] btw short test is useless if disks have bad sectors [19:47] kdesudo is just command for root permissions for guis , sudo is the same as ubuntu in the terminal, rymate1234 [19:47] hmm I can't find the hash on the ubuntu site now [19:47] bn [19:47] tomatobros, /dev/sdb isn't mounted, fdisk doesn't even list /dev/sdb [19:47] spacedementia, can you enter anything on the "Who are you" Screen? [19:47] BluesKaj: so why didn't you just tell me to run sudo systemsettings? [19:48] I have enetered all the stuff on that screen and clicked continue [19:48] that is when it locks up [19:48] 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] because system settings is a gui , rymate1234 [19:48] and sudo systemsettings works perfectly [19:48] on the username, try removing capital letters if it has any. [19:48] also kdesudo is is a gui for sudo [19:48] it's the same as gksudo for gnome/unity [19:49] yes [19:49] nop no caps in there [19:49] I have an interesting question that's not related to my previous one. [19:49] all wrappers for sudo [19:49] how install ubuntu server edition over 10.04 desktop edition? [19:49] !kdesudo | rymate1234 [19:49] rymate1234: In KDE use « kdesudo » 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. [19:50] aguite1, format the drive then install? [19:50] should you gksudo to gedit a file in the /root/ directory? [19:50] spacedementia, does it "lock up" or not allow you to go forward.? [19:50] well I have clicked continue, I can still move the mouse, but nothing is happening [19:51] "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] Ghost_562, is the only way? [19:51] woooow [19:51] 1714 [19:51] thats a big audience [19:51] aguite1, if you want to remove ubuntu and install server edition, yes. [19:52] Nvveen_ don't use fdisk use lvdisplay lvscan [19:52] spacedementia87, try picking a different username? [19:52] should that make a difference? [19:53] spacedementia87, it might be what is holding you back, since the system doesn't freeze. [19:53] ok, I will try [19:53] it is just xbmc though [19:53] wouldn't have thought that would be a problem [19:53] rymate1234: keep it up and you'll soon see why kdesudo/gksudo are important for guis [19:53] Hello.

[20:23] maxb, the csv in question http://pastebin.com/RjDJy4Xt [20:23] I can use ctrl+alt+F1 to bring up a terminal [20:23] i am wanting to host a chat server that is basic and will run on any web browser and platform [20:24] yes , then to get back to the desktop , ctl+alt+f7, but whynot just the console, spacedementia87 [20:25] use [20:25] KatyPerryX420: look around for java-chat [20:26] I don't know how. All the cosoles from F1-f6 just show a prompt [20:26] thats whats supposed to happen [20:26] spacedementia87: alt+F2 , type console or terminal === datacrusher is now known as dtcrshr === dtcrshr is now known as af382k [20:27] ok now I am getting no output from my pc [20:28] so after it freezes up [ress ctrl+alt+F2 and type console? [20:28] spacedementia87: did you use ctl+alt+f1 and land at a login prompt with no desktop ? [20:28] 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? [20:29] not a login prompt. It is just a normal prompt like after you log in [20:29] spacedementia87: ctrl+alt+F7 [20:30] then the screen just went black and my monitor says no signal [20:31] Hello. 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] exit [20:32] what did you want me to type at the prompt? [20:32] hi, after installing lios (OCR program) my apt-get broke down and I can't install and uninstall anything [20:32] spacedmantia87: whats your problem - i came late [20:32] 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? [20:33] it says: lios package is going to be reinstalled, but package cannot be found [20:33] it displays it whenever I want to unstall or uninstall something using apt-get [20:33] any help will be appreciated [20:34] 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: where is this package from? [20:34] jrib: it's from here: http://code.google.com/p/linux-intelligent-ocr-solution/downloads/list [20:35] spacedementia87: which ubuntu version ? [20:35] Volstar: what happened when you installed it? Presumably it was not successful? [20:35] 12.10 [20:35] oh, and sudo aptitude purge fglrx should uninstall the driver completely, yes? I want to uninstall before installing a diff version. I'm on ubuntu 12.10 [20:35] 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? [20:35] jring: it didn't launch, because it wanted some dependencies, I've installed them, but then it stopped working [20:36] apt-get stopped working, because lios didn't run at all [20:36] 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] tlivingston: open the file manager , the drives should be listed in the places entry area. [20:36] Volstar: pastebin what happens when you try to install it now [20:36] tlivingston: do you have samba installed? if unsure, try `sudo apt-get install samba` [20:36] jrib: I can paste it here, but it's in Polish [20:37] wat are the other insall methods? [20:37] Volstar: prefix your command with LANGUAGE=C LANG=C (and use a pastebin) [20:37] jrib: it's something like: lios package is going to be reinstalled, but package cannot be found [20:37] BluesKaj: xubuntu uses thunar, not nautilus [20:37] jrib: ok [20:38] jrib: E: The package lios needs to be reinstalled, but I can't find an archive for it. [20:38] Volstar: what command did you run [20:38] stuck at starting cups printing server at boot up. Ubuntu 64 bit 12.04 [20:38] So that cannot be done in xUbuntu? [20:38] zheoffec: doesn't thunar have places area , and I use the expression file manager , not nautilus [20:38] jrib: sorry, it was: sudo apt-get purge lios [20:38] Volstar: pastebin what happens when you try to install it now [20:38] tlivingston: do you have samba installed? if unsure, try `sudo apt-get install samba` [20:38] jrib: it's the same [20:39] i dont think so BluesKaj [20:39] Volstar: what command did you run [20:39] jrib: oh, wait... when I'm trying to install it it says: [20:39] zheoffec: I do not.. [20:39] zheoffec: don't think what ? [20:40] zheoffec: sudo apt-get samba ? [20:40] jrib: Preparing to replace lios 1.7 (using Lios_1.7_all.deb) ... [20:40] tlivingston: yes, and smbfs as well - `sudo apt-get install samba smbfs` [20:40] 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] jrib: sudo: update-desktop-database: command not found [20:40] jrib: dpkg: warning: subprocess old pre-removal script returned error exit status 1 [20:41] Volstar: please use a pastebin in the future [20:41] jrib: dpkg: trying script from the new package instead ... [20:41] jrib: sudo: update-desktop-database: command not found [20:41] stuck at starting cups printing server at boot up. Ubuntu 64 bit 12.04 any help ?? [20:41] BluesKaj: I dont think that thunar has network shortcuts [20:41] jrib: dpkg: error processing Lios_1.7_all.deb (--install): [20:41] Hello guys. [20:41] jrib: subprocess new pre-removal script returned error exit status 1 [20:41] jrib: sudo: update-desktop-database: command not found [20:41] tlivingston: tell me when its finished installing [20:41] Just downgraded from 12.10 to 12.04 due to tearing with amd gpu :( [20:42] Can you tell me if I should go with repo driver or download the latest from amd website? [20:42] this really sucks installing ubuntu has been so easy every time before [20:42] zheoffec: typed in "sudo apt-get install samba" downloaded and installed. [20:43] jrib: I will [20:43] and install `smbfs`, tlivingston [20:43] Volstar: did you make sure to satisfy the dependencies? What are they? [20:43] zheoffec: network shortcuts ? [20:44] jrib: yes, there were two of them, but now I can't use apt-get anymore [20:44] zheoffec: E: Package 'smbfs' has no installation candidate [20:44] BluesKaj: It doesnt show network locations on the sidebar [20:44] ok [20:44] 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] Anyone with AMD/ATI cards? [20:45] hello, is histo arround? [20:45] oh ok [20:45] leolove, yes [20:45] does it have networking options , zheoffec , that what i meant in my last post [20:45] so I guess no ubuntu for me then [20:45] I *think* last time I did an install it was quantal, and I booted the netboot installer from a USB stick [20:45] 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] jrib: thanks, I will give it a try [20:45] 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? [20:46] leolove, they worked for me [20:46] tlivingston: see this page - https://wiki.archlinux.org/index.php/Thunar#Using_Thunar_to_browse_remote_locations [20:46] repo one? [20:46] 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] leolove, website that is [20:46] subman you mean the latest drivers? [20:46] leolove, yup [20:46] jrib: it doesn't work [20:47] subman I have tried from 13.1 till 13.3 beta. The problem is I face terrible tearing [20:47] Volstar: you need to pastebin what you typed and the full output [20:47] only at the top of screen about 1 inch area. [20:47] leolove, from the repos did not work for me at all. Open source was terrible. [20:47] jrib: pastebin to imageshack or something? [20:47] 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] subman agreed. Opensource is never good for me either. [20:47] Volstar: paste.ubuntu.com [20:47] subman which card do you have? [20:48] !seen histo [20:48] I have no seen command [20:48] leolove, geforce 6200.

It seems crazy that there sn;t [20:52] jrib: thanks a lot! it helped [20:53] Volstar: ok, then install the dependencies and remove the comments [20:53] trying to.. crome os - vanila.. [20:53] spacedementia87; what was the problem again? [20:53] jrib: ok [20:53] "ChromeOS-Vanilla-3996.0.2013_04_13_1739-rabe5f462-VirtualBox.vdi" [20:54] spacedementia87, what are u using? [20:54] 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] zheoffec: Failed to set default application for "afp://GoFlexHome.local/myusername" [20:54] it is the ASROCK E350M1 [20:54] spacedementia87: does your machine have windows 8 installed ? [20:54] nope, no OS installed at all [20:55] spacedementia87 I am ready to assist you step by step. Are you able to boot live mode? [20:55] spacedementia87: you should disable secureboot and/or turn on bios emulation [20:55] stuck at starting cups printing server at boot up. Ubuntu 64 bit 12.04 [20:55] spacedementia87, any signs of life like leds blicking etc? [20:55] did you create an ext4 partition for linux on it , spacedementia87 ? [20:55] A regular blink from the LED nothing else. I will check the BIS for secure boot. THink it is off though [20:56] What might bios bios emulation look like in the BIOS program? [20:56] Yes I did create ext4 partition and made mountpoint / [20:56] spacedementia87: it should say 'bios emulation' i think that board is EFI [20:57] i see no bios emulation option [20:57] spacedementia87, for the "regular led" blinking, do you mean the harddrive led? [20:57] tlivingston: I dont know what could be the problem then. [20:57] yeah. Just regular flash every second or so [20:57] tlivingston: ask for help on #samba [20:58] 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] jrib: it works, thank you very much [20:58] spacedementia87, can you hear drive doing anything? [20:58] nope [20:59] !13.04 > nurow [20:59] nurow, please see my private message [20:59] spacedementia87, this is just a guess but it sounds like ubuntu might have a probem with your harddrive controller [21:00] I used to have that but after disabling some features in the UEFI setup it worked better [21:00] spacedmentia87: does your HD use the SATA or PATA interface? [21:00] SATA [21:01] spacedmentia87: in your bios HD config, is it using AHCI or IDE? === mac_ is now known as mac_afk-prvt [21:01] !away > mac_afk-prvt [21:01] mac_afk-prvt, please see my private message [21:02] I have tried on both, think it is set to IDE at the moment [21:02] spacedementia87, which version were you trying to install?

[21:03] * mac_afk-prvt is away: test [21:03] no errors, it just stops going on with the setup after clickng continue on the "who are you?" screen === mac_afk-prvt is now known as mac_ [21:03] umm no don't know the sata chipset [21:04] ben64, thank u, will remember that :) [21:04] should sata mode be set to ISE or AHCI? [21:04] but... i am still away, got visitor :( [21:04] Hey, can someone help me [21:04] With a VPN [21:04] 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] ok [21:05] spacedmentia87: just keep it at IDE [21:05] ok [21:06] Can someone help me set up my VPN? I just installed Ubuntu, haha [21:06] No idea what I'm doing [21:06] hello all im running ubuntu 12.10 dual boot with win8 wireless device is showing Not Ready i have updated kernel and added rt3290 to /lib/firmware. wireless showed up and worked until reboot [21:06] spacedementia87: ahci usually works better on linux [21:07] duhamel: try `sudo modprobe rt3290` [21:08] ok i am in a live session === aron is now known as Guest68929 [21:08] breed, does your vpn provider support openvpn?

[21:13] yeah, i can't exactly put it on pastebin without the internet [21:13] sudoair: Right makes sense [21:14] I have tried deleting all partitions and trying again [21:14] sudoair: Does this tell you anything: dmesg | grep eth0 [21:14] zheoffec: it worked after i upgraded to most recent kernel then used the following commands: git clone git://git.kernel.org/pub/scm/linux/kernel/git/dwmw2/linux-firmware.git [21:14] i see this line IPV6: ADDRCONF(NETDEV_UP: eth0: link is not ready [21:14] sudoair: Where eth0 is your ethernet card (assmuning it probably is) [21:14] in the dmsg command [21:14] sudoair: What else [21:14] fingers crossed for one last try before bedtime [21:14] then: sudo cp linux-firmware/rt3290.bin /lib/firmware [21:15] 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?

[21:16] sudoair: Can you ping your router? Example where 192.168.1.1 is the router -> ping -c 1 192.168.1.1 [21:16] leolove: `sudo apt-get install linux*-headers` [21:17] leolove: Do you have headers installed?

[21:17] Yes , I got headers for 3.5.0-27 which is my kernel [21:17] but it is looking for 3.2.0 headers :( [21:17] nope duesnt look hopeful :( [21:17] fucks sake [21:17] I did amd-xxxx.run --build-pkg ubuntu/precise [21:18] spacedementia87: What's the issue you're having? === elixir_ is now known as elixir [21:19] dodo3773: connect: NEtwork is unreacheable [21:19] do you think dodo3773 that I installed backported quantal kernel so I need to build amd deb files for 12.10? [21:19] even though I am on 12.04? [21:19] hey everybody, i have an old pc. Its a AMD Sempron 3000 with ATI 9200SE. I have run Ubuntu, but its very slow. Now, i am using lubuntu and its slow too. Is my PC to old for a good and nice running linux? [21:20] apt-get install upnp-router-control stuck on "ldconfig deferred processing now taking place" wtf? [21:21] 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 [21:22] oxys: if lubuntu is still too slow for your machine, then you can install arch instead [21:23] sudoair: hmm. can you bring the interface up or see it as being up? sudo ip link set dev eth0 up [21:24] spacedementia87: Weird. Maybe it's a bug in the installer [21:24] i just ran that command and nothing happened [21:24] I have tried 3 different images [21:24] 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] 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? [21:25] oxys: you might as well turn it into a fileserver then [21:25] Guest68929, do you use ubuntu? [21:25] yes [21:26] spacedementia87: 3 different images? All recent ones? New installer could be the cause [21:26] zheoffec, good idea, or i used the old one as a router for, we call this in germany, "freifunk". [21:26] yeah all 12.10 [21:26] 2 386 images and 1 amd64 [21:26] oxys: yes [21:27] Anyone have idea I have kernel 3.5.0-27 with correct headers on 12.04 but still fglrx from website is looking for old header files? [21:27] I build to Ubuntu/precise [21:27] Guest68929, Did you start brasero or did you do nothing (only the cd i the device)? [21:27] spacedementia87: Hmm.

You might consider using the netboot installer [21:32] 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.

It will be used in large remote camps (100-500 men) to stream live (satellite tv) and on-demand (large storage of mp4 movies) over the wireless. [21:47] I have already made the web frontend with jwplayer but need to find decent stream server software. Media Goblin would be perfect if it did live video. Flumotion might do but it hasn't been active for quite some time. [21:47] Does anyone do video streaming? What do you use? [21:47] Anyone familiar with VmARE? - [21:47] dxtr_1: So do this instead --> sudo nmap -sP 10.42.0.0/24 [21:47] the same problem [21:48] dodo no wait, Grub2 is already installed.

[22:00] dodo3773: it gives me the same problem [22:00] dxtr_1: You can't even scan your own ip on your lan? [22:00] dxtr_1: okay what was your error message?

I think you have confused -Sp and -sP [22:02] Im yuta [22:02] so how is the mini.iso different? [22:02] dodo3773: YES YES , sP worked [22:02] so [22:03] dodo3773: YES YES , i scaned my ip [22:03] now how to scan all the networj [22:03] spacedementia87: The mini.iso is just the bare bones of d-i enough to get an installation up and running using a network connection [22:03] dodo3773: now how to scan all the network ? [22:04] ok [22:04] It seems to be doing something [22:04] maxb: Ah probably. [22:05] dxtr_1: Try the working command and change the end to .0/24 or .0-255 probably [22:05] does it download the installer as it goes? [22:05] yes [22:05] breed: are you here?

Also a decent app is nbtscan (I use that a lot) [22:08] KatyPerryX420: Setting up an IRC server is a complex business. Too complex for a generalist channel like #ubuntu, I think.

What should I choose? [22:22] subman: thats great news, does it work out of the box? [22:22] moko1, yup. No issues at all [22:23] awesome [22:23] moko1, Note that the Ubuntu has issues with the APU . We are using another graphics card so it did not matter [22:23] spacedementia87: Is this a great big multiselect thing, or does it want you to input a package name? [22:24] the great big multiselect thing [22:24] whats the difference between ubuntu desktop and ubuntu server [22:25] thanks. ill wait for the official release [22:25] 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] idck, Desktop is optimized for general use. Has the whole GUI. Server is optimized to serve files/services. No GUI [22:26] idck: Absolutely nothing, other than the selection of packages you get guided to install by default [22:26] moko1, you have an issue? [22:27] hm, i thought it would let me choose muliple. I tapped enter on print server and the installation continued [22:27] oh, so it doesnt mean like i can run websites off my computer? [22:27] whoops, maybe I need to start again [22:27] idck, yes, with the server edition you can. [22:27] idck, actually with both you can [22:28] subman, i guess its just easier with the server addition, of course? [22:28] spacedementia87: It's probably fine, you can always install or uninstall bits later [22:28] idck, No, not easier, more efficient [22:28] guess so [22:28] hello 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 [22:28] any help?

[22:52] * /lib/firmware/firmware_file_name path to file is important [22:52] the chown was successful in /lib/firmware [22:53] duhamel, oke, did you logout/login again after install/ [22:54] restart [22:55] http://ubuntuforums.org/showthread.php?t=2104129 i did this but with the most current kernel [22:56] Having a problem with wine and rigs of rods. can anyone help me?

[23:01] duhamel it wont remove your kernel [23:01] sup fags [23:01] duhamel it is highly recommended to keep your old kernel for few days if something goes wrong, you can switch back to old kernel [23:02] maybe i need to fresh install and try those steps again without messing with anything else.

[23:14] actually 10240mb would be the minimum you should use [23:14] duhamel: your wireless [23:15] And should I just go with all the other default settings? [23:15] I need help setting up mail serv with ubuntu please [23:16] @vlt: just to double check, does ip forwarding work with two interfaces on the same adapter? [23:16] 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] sgf, they are pretty straigh forward, so yes, [23:16] DRayX: Yes. [23:16] Sweet [23:16] duhamel, you can check if wifi is activated or blocked by the hw switch with: rfkill list [23:16] Shouldn't I change "use as" to "EFI boot partition" though? [23:17] 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] sgf, set the mount as / and make the size [23:17] (openvpn) === l is now known as Guest87379 [23:17] namaste: it says its not blocked [23:17] ok [23:18] 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 [23:18] 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] http://i.imgur.com/Yo0WlDY.png === jsec_ is now known as jsec [23:18] sorry about the repeat post i just know your eyes are probably on 10 conversations and i didn't highlight you properly [23:19] Should mention that I changed the size to 20480 since that screenshot. [23:19] I got my PowerBook G4 to load yaboot by following the command suggested here : https://discussions.apple.com/message/19438541?searchText=powerbook%20g4%20ubuntu#19438541 [23:20] 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] I only have a Windows machine available [23:21] 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] 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] ? [23:21] sgf,Sorry mount as / [23:22] Okay, thanks [23:22] sgf, You chose sdb right? [23:22] ? [23:23] sgf,That gui looks like you choose sda the windows HD. [23:24] Nah, I selected the new unused HD [23:24] Hey, guys, I'm having some trouble with the Ubuntu Software Center for Ubuntu 12.10 [23:24] 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] so i might be doing a fresh install? starting over? [23:25] sgf, cool sda1 is the windows boot partition and generally about 205MB just checking. ;) [23:25] HELLO [23:25] Okay, thanks for the help [23:25] NO ONE HAS TALKED TO ME, DOESN'T ANYONE SEE ME? [23:26] Anyone know why I'm getting this error message? [23:26] eXcAliBuR, Not a default help item on the channel, you have to have some patience. ;) [23:26] yay [23:26] i'm not invisable [23:26] <|nv|s|b|e> [23:26] eXcAliBuR, I see you, and I'm pretty interested in your question as I'm planning to set one too tomorow, but never did before, [23:27] i tried a few times [23:27] and failed each time [23:27] :( [23:27] when i tried 12.04.2 it didn't have any data either wired or wireless on a toshiba c855-s5107 [23:27] wondering if i should install ispconfig [23:27] any ideas? === alex1 is now known as bitcoins === bitcoins is now known as alex1 [23:28] WillisIVXX, run lspci in the terminal and identify the ether and wifi [23:28] * |nv|s|b|e is not known as |nv|s|b|e [23:28] @vlt: Cool, think I figured it out [23:28] @vlt: thanks for the help [23:28] alright thanks to all who tried to help. im starting over. [23:29] DRayX: It said "yes" twice ;-) but yw. [23:30] Hey again [23:30] <_bady> root don't login?why? [23:31] sgf, If you want help from a specific user or communicate with one use the nicks, you can tab complete them. [23:31] @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) [23:32] _bady, you should use a sudo with a user account. by default root has no password set for login [23:32] _bady, ? [23:32] _bady> root don't login?why? === nathan is now known as Guest65901 [23:33] DRayX: Is this an Ubuntu question? [23:33] <_bady> but I have a root password [23:34] _bady, In ubuntu? [23:34] 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] _bady, Besides the user password? [23:34] Or (less related to ubuntu, more to general networking) if it is even necessary. [23:35] !sudo > _bady [23:35] _bady, please see my private message [23:36] Hi.. Does anybody have experience playing BluRay discs on Ubuntu? [23:36] Sorry, timed out [23:37] Now I'm getting this error [23:37] http://i.imgur.com/ZtRzsv6.png [23:37] <_bady> i created root password,but now i don't login [23:38] _bady, The login is the user password, and making a root password is a bad plan. [23:38] or running in root [23:38] Making a root password isn't always a bad plan, but it's almost always unnecessary [23:39] 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] rot* [23:40] 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] 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] maxb, Itself no but a user can. [23:41] _bady, Root logins are not supported here. [23:41] 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 [23:42] @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] maxb, I purchased this movie legally and I can't watch it on my computer? Right? [23:42] Godel: Right. This is the madness of the movie industry. [23:42] DRayX: bind would be overkill, dnsmasq should do fine. [23:43] Anyone? [23:44] <_bady> @sgf [23:44] sgf, post an image or errors in imagebin or pastebin. [23:44] Okay. Thanks! [23:44] http://i.imgur.com/ZtRzsv6.png [23:44] @vlt: Cool, that was my assumption, last time I configured bind (long time ago) it was painful [23:44] It is a sad and strange world we live in where legally purchased movies have an inferior user experience to piracy [23:44] sgf, YOU missed the mount ? in the gui you showed. [23:44] sgf, sorry mount is / [23:45] Where do I put that? [23:45] Mount point? [23:45] sgf, You showed a gui when starting in the is a mount tab, you choose / [23:46] Okay, thanks [23:46] 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] sgf, mount point is / http://i.imgur.com/Yo0WlDY.png [23:47] 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] Okay, did that, now I'm getting another error [23:47] Thanks! I will give it a shot! [23:47] Thanks a lot. :) [23:47] Ciao [23:47] Hang on [23:49] So I put / in the mount point and clicked next [23:49] http://i.imgur.com/59bFo07.png [23:49] I got this error [23:50] sgf, You asked a question earlier about efi can you say why? [23:51] sgf, For best help here as well show every gui we could have had this done long ago most likely. [23:52] I was wondering if the "type" of boot loader mattered (ext4, nfs) and EFI boot was one of them [23:52] sgf, Is this a gpt setup in general? [23:53] those are not bootloaders by the way. sgf [23:54] GPT? [23:54] 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] sgf, Did this computer come with W8? [23:54] 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? [23:55] No, this is a computer I built [23:55] 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] 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] I want to install Ubuntu to my second HD, the empty one [23:55] sgf, Open the original gui you have showed and imagebin it. [23:56] duhamel: is it working now ? [23:56] sgf, I will be glad to help you here, however you have to use my nick and follow directions, can you do that? [23:57] http://i.imgur.com/Yo0WlDY.png [23:57] Here [23:58] 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] wilee-nilee: Yeah, sorry\ [23:58] 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. [23:59] Yeah, I made the partition 20478MB and put a / in the mount point [23:59] sgf, That is also the original you posted I want to see what it looks like now if different. [23:59] But then I got this error: http://i.imgur.com/59bFo07.png [23:59] Oh, it won't let me edit the partition now
