[00:00] rAg3: yeah it is, it's listing available networks. but why would it only work after login ? not boot? [00:00] sgf, I would use gparted close the installer and open gparted and show a image of that HD. [00:01] right I am up and running [00:01] I have a question though [00:01] Alright [00:01] spacedementia87, cool. [00:01] duhamel: can u reboot once and tell me output of rfkill list [00:01] Ubuntu hasn't detencte the resolution of my monitor correctly [00:01] duhamel: rfkill list [00:01] I know how to add a resolution using xrandr, but how do I make it persustant? [00:01] spacedementia87, have you looked in display [00:01] without logging out then [00:02] Yeah, the correct resolution isn't there [00:03] so I added a file called 10-monitor.conf to /usr/share/X11/xorg.conf.d [00:05] wilee-nilee: http://i.imgur.com/QMXM05b.png [00:05] Here's the gparted info [00:05] Doesn't look like the partition I created worked. [00:05] rAg3: before reboot 0: phy0: Wireless LAN [00:05] Soft blocked: no [00:05] Hard blocked: no [00:06] but the resolution still isn't there when I reboot [00:06] ? [00:06] sgf_, That is sda you want sdb top right corner dropdown. [00:06] Wait, that's for my other HD [00:06] Yeah [00:06] http://i.imgur.com/U5oHnD1.png [00:06] duckydan: ok .. try switching the wireless off and on again .. without logging out [00:07] sgf_, Why are the sda4 and sda6 mounted on a live cd? [00:08] sgf_,Unmount the sda partitions first. [00:08] the swap [00:08] rAg3: its the exact same after. [00:08] Unmount? [00:08] Also, I'm not using sda for anything, it's just for retrieving old files [00:09] duhamel: still not working? [00:09] sgf_, Right click the sda and click unmount swap [00:09] sda6 [00:09] not working [00:09] Any ideas what "Init table command not found:" and "PGRAPH: unsupported chipset, please report!" mean when booting? Having trouble booting to linux. Tried a few different distros. The boot will actually go through ~15% of the time. -Thanks [00:10] Ohhh, sda6 isn't Ubuntu [00:10] somebody suggesting rufus for creating an installer for ubuntu. But I don't know how to configure it. Can you help? [00:10] It's a different Linux branch that I had partitioned on my old HD before I built this new computer. [00:10] this is taking forever to compile [00:11] >:( [00:11] wilee-nilee: Here are the problems listed when I click the partition I made on sdb2 http://i.imgur.com/SzwPhX7.png [00:11] sgf_, Yes it is its the ubuntu swap, however we can leave them mounted probably, sda6 the swap is automounted on a live cd. [00:12] sgf_, So delete that partition in the sdb [00:12] Oh, I'm booting Ubuntu from a flash drive currently [00:12] Okay [00:13] wilee-nilee: Should I try to make a new one with gparted? === nathan is now known as Guest98335 [00:14] rAg3: so, really weird. i tried logging out [00:14] sgf_ yep right click to make a ext4. Now ubuntu will run in a extended and you can have a lot of partitions if you want, a single HD can only have 4 primary partitions, are you planning on adding other instals to this HD? [00:15] after i logged back in wireless was still "not ready" so i suspend. [00:15] No plans. [00:15] duhamel: i am at a loss now !! put on your query about having to log out again , someone might know what to do exactly [00:16] sgf_, Cool just make a ext4 the size you want with a right click in the space. [00:16] Okay. [00:16] http://i.imgur.com/fNr7HBj.png [00:16] Is this correct? [00:16] but when i cant end suspension (probably because i did auto install and dont think there is a swap) i power down by holding physical button for 5 secs [00:16] then power back on and its wrking. [00:16] sgf_, Yeb now hit the green check at the top to run it. [00:16] yep === milind is now known as abyss42 [00:17] duhamel: what is the output of mount ? [00:18] im connected with wifi right now. but cant figure what im doing that is allowing it to work. its not just logging in and out. it seems almost random. [00:19] im going to play and report. [00:19] wilee-nilee: Getting another error, http://i.imgur.com/nUQayTo.png [00:19] duhamel_: oh [00:20] What is the general workaround for using Ubuntu without unity? LXDE, XFCE, KDE? [00:20] sgf_, Is this a new HD? [00:20] Yes [00:20] I already mounted it though [00:21] sgf_, Cool you need to make a partition table click device and the make partition table choose msdos and run the green check. [00:22] sgf_, I missed that yuou mounted the sdb unmount it [00:23] Okay [00:23] sgf_, So with the sdb unmounted make the partition table. [00:24] i figured it out. it doesn't work after restart but does after power down power up. new problem. when i click shutdown it's restarting [00:24] what file system does ubuntu use? [00:24] wifi still works in that case though. [00:24] wisey: ext 3 or 4 [00:25] preferably 4 [00:25] duhamel: you must have selected a default action for power button , u can change it in power options [00:25] wisey, In the OS naultilus [00:25] wisey, Partitions are ext4 [00:26] duhamel : i'm trying to use rufus to build and installer on usb, but I don't know how to configure it. Can you help? [00:26] is exFat one? [00:27] wisey: exFat for ubuntu installations ? [00:27] wisey, fat 32 is used for iso loads [00:27] wisey: no not exfat or any fat system. [00:28] other choices are FAT32 or NTFS [00:28] duhamel, rufus is a usb loader [00:28] wilee-nilee: There's an sdc now [00:28] http://i.imgur.com/uF96ml0.png [00:28] It looks like that's the partition I made [00:28] I don't even know what it is, actually [00:28] wilee-nilee :: yes, I'm trying to build a usb loader [00:28] sgf, That is the usb you are booting on, [00:29] Oh, yeah haha [00:29] Anyway, sdb is unmounted and I made the partition table [00:29] wisey, Use a fat 32 partition. [00:29] im way closer to noob than i am to advanced user. my usb booting knowledge pretty much starts and ends with unetbootin [00:29] ok [00:29] sgf, cool now make the ext4 [00:30] wilee-nilee :: I used the default settings in rufus and the installer didn't work [00:30] http://i.imgur.com/X4ixNqd.png [00:30] Same error, wilee-nilee [00:30] wisey, I have never used rufus, what are you trying to load to it? [00:31] Er, wrong picture [00:31] wilee-nilee :: I made this post but now I am trying to install ubuntu on it => https://discussions.apple.com/message/21785770#21785770 [00:31] it explains what I'm doing [00:31] http://i.imgur.com/9cLa7sA.png [00:31] wisey I know nothing about using apple. [00:32] right right [00:32] duhamel :: can you help? [00:32] I have been searching for hours [00:32] Trying to get my wife's new IPOD to communicate with Amrok or Banshee or whatever. I've successfully put a couple of albums on the IPOD but cannot access them from the IPOD. There doesn't appear to be Music folder on the IPOD so I'm not sure where they should actually go. Any ideas? [00:33] sgf, It may be that you need to unmount the sda partitions, the sda6 and sda4 [00:33] I'll try [00:33] sgf, The sda6 unmount will take care of both [00:34] wisey: im sorry, i don't know anything about it. unless you just need a bootable copy of linux on a usb. [00:34] Unmount is greyed out for sda4 [00:34] duhamel :: that is exactly what I need (a bootable copy of linux on a usb) [00:35] oh. very simple. [00:35] duhammel :: but I'm on Windows here [00:35] duhamel :: cool [00:35] pick your distro. download the iso. format usb to fat32 [00:35] download unetbootin. you can find it on google. [00:36] Unmount is greyed out for sda4, wilee-nilee [00:36] sgf, I think with all this messing around you should reboot the usb and start with gparted again, do not mount anything. [00:36] what is your current os? [00:36] sgf, Did you mount anything from the terminal? [00:36] oh sorry. i see. [00:36] Nope. [00:37] windows download or run the unetbootin.exe [00:37] Hang on [00:37] sgf, I would reboot messing around in a live enviroment and mounting and unmounting can be problematic if not done right, I have to assume this is what has happened. [00:37] wisey: with me so far? [00:38] http://i.imgur.com/4qS3ExX.png These are the errors I get when I double click the failed partition, could they have any relavence? [00:38] duhamel :: i'm on Windows here [00:38] wisey: have you found an iso for the distro you want [00:38] yes [00:38] cool beans. [00:39] Dell Dimension 4600i when waking from suspension to a black screen... seems to be locked up. Ubuntu 12.04 [00:39] sgf, Hard to say, you used the device tab at the top when the HD was fully unallocated, no pending actions to make the partition table right? [00:39] have you found the windows version of uNetbootin? [00:39] Yes. [00:40] sgf, well we can play cat and mouse but I don't want to so my advice is to reboot and lets start over. [00:40] Alright [00:41] * wilee-nilee geez 1 and 3/4 hours [00:41] duhamel :: do I have to format to fat32 before I run UNetbootin? [00:41] on a 3minute install. [00:42] duhamel :: I'm using it now [00:42] yeah. its best to [00:44] so where it has the field for iso browse to the distro.iso [00:46] click on it. make sure the destination drive is right and click okAY [00:48] duhamel :: I'm just formatting atm === rAg3_ is now known as rAg3 [00:48] wilee-nilee: I rebooted, nothing is mounted. I made the partition table, tried making the partition again and got the same error [00:48] I clicked "save details" and this is what it said [00:48] http://i.imgur.com/QDbSRuq.png [00:49] duhamel :: does it take a while to format a disk? [00:49] usb stick? [00:50] depends on the size of the stick [00:50] 16GB [00:50] saintgutfree, Not sure then the error says the partition is being used, if unmounted it should not be. Have to modified the fstab file in your sda linux install? [00:50] i find windows formats slower than linux for sure. [00:50] someone told me to install ubuntu on a stick will wear it out quickly. [00:50] ok [00:50] ou only need [00:50] 4gb [00:51] ok [00:51] saintgutfree, can you type mount and post the output? [00:51] I only have16GB sticks [00:51] Type "mount" where? [00:52] saintgutfree, in a bash terminal window. It will just output what is mounted [00:53] thats fine [00:54] wisey: done formating? [00:55] xboc [00:55] sync3times, have them pastebin that if you could. [00:56] duhamel :: it is on 8%. it takes an age. I'm going to watch my tv for a bit [00:56] wilee-nilee, good idea. I just got here. Is he booted normally, or in a liveboot gparted disc? [00:58] wilee-nilee: How do I get to the bash terminal? [00:58] sync3times, It is a ubuntu instal disc [00:58] usb [00:58] It's not the one labeled "terminal", is it? Because that just gives me a huge list of commands when I type "mount" [01:00] wisey: im outta here. you should have no problem getting the iso on there with UNetbootin. after that just change the bootorder in bios or some computers alow you to change the boot order by pressing esc when bios entrance prompt comes up. [01:01] peace all. thanks for any who helped. big thanks to rAg3 for all your help earlier today! [01:01] sgf, hit the top button on the left panel and type terminal and the mount in the terminal, then copy and paste all the tect to a pastebin. [01:01] wilee-nilee, was there raid or lvm or anything else on the disc previously? [01:02] Yeah, I'm in that terminal [01:02] All it says when I type "mount" is a big list of commands [01:02] sync3times, says the disc was new I wonder of a gpt, it can leave fragments that needa gdisk clean at times. [01:03] wilee-nilee, how big? [01:03] sgf, thats ok, you probably dont have anything mounted. How big is your new disc? [01:03] 1TB [01:04] sgf: and this is the 2nd hard disc in the system? [01:04] Yes [01:04] sync3times, It is a terrabyte HD [01:05] sgf, great [01:05] sgf, and ubuntu refused to install to it? [01:05] Yep [01:05] I'm trying to make a partition in it for Ubuntu [01:05] sync3times, I have seen manufacturers have two 500 gig HD's and gpt them together though. [01:05] But it's giving me an error [01:06] sgf : what kind of drive is it?

[01:07] sync3times, Yeah I may be wrong though, we can check the HD with the bootscript though. [01:08] for any wierd stuff not shown in gparted. [01:08] wilee-nilee, how big is his usb? maybe he is trying to install on the usb? [01:09] sync3times, 8gig it is sdc [01:09] ok === Jenks is now known as Guest32377 [01:09] mmm... Its on 20%.

[01:10] sgf , can you bring up a terminal window and type sudo bash [01:10] Okay [01:10] then type fdisk /dev/sdb [01:11] sgf : do you want to use the whole disc for linux? [01:12] whois sgf [01:12] Guest32377, just a guy [01:12] :) [01:12] :) [01:13] my computer is currently going to the busybox shell === nathan is now known as Guest29149 [01:14] Sorry, internet cut out [01:15] np [01:15] sync3times: When I typed that in the terminal it said "unable to open dev/sdb: No such file or directory" [01:15] sgf , the leading slash is important. Did you type that? [01:16] Yes [01:16] sgf : type ls -l /dev/sdb [01:17] "brw-rw---- 1 root disk 8, 16 Apr 15 01:14 /dev/sdb" [01:17] i installed squirrelmail, and now when i goto my website i go to the mail login page, and lost my website [01:17] how do i get my site back?

[01:25] sgf_, Are you booted to the sda linux install thinking it is the live usb maybe? [01:26] yea, don't forget to remove your usb install disk when you reboot after install [01:26] Nah, it's definitely booted to the USB [01:26] VotePenguinParty: I just bought one and installed it, it went sooo smooth!

[02:07] that can be an iso bootable cd [02:07] if a sector is bad.. well.. :) its bad. [02:08] i think the 'badblocks' command can be used somehow to map them as in use. so they dont like.. get used/ ;) [02:09] just didn't know if there was something for ubuntu [02:09] Anybody know if I can sort of.. clone one Ubuntu system to the other over the internet? I have a linode server I'm running and I want to transfer -everything- to my local Ubuntu install [02:09] I mean the postgres database, nginx, gunicorn, all the data in postgres, everything [02:10] jcrza: i recall you can use netcat and dd.. to make an image.. but i also think some vps's have a similer feature. [02:10] jcrza: perhaps check into clonezilla [02:11] Huh, clonezilla looks neat. [02:13] not sure if clonezilla can clone the system its running on. ;) [02:13] !backup [02:13] There are many ways to back your system up. Here's a few: https://help.ubuntu.com/community/BackupYourSystem , https://help.ubuntu.com/community/DuplicityBackupHowto , https://wiki.ubuntu.com/HomeUserBackup , https://help.ubuntu.com/community/MondoMindi - See also !sbackup and !cloning [02:14] Thanks for all the information, I think I'll be able to figure it out from here. [02:21] I was thinking digitalocean had some way you could download the image of your vps. but i cant find it now. [02:21] dr_willis: I bet if you used clonezilla as a live CD, you might be able to copy the hdd [02:22] Raptor05: but the trick is hes on a vps/ ;) [02:22] there is a clonezilla live cd thats very handy i hear [02:23] dr_willis: I have used at YUMI at pendrive linux to get a clonezilla livecd [02:23] Yeah, I can't figure out how to boot my linode from a custom location [02:23] Hoping their paid for service will produce an image. [02:25] How can I purge packages that have already been removed? [02:25] DWSR: sudo apt-get remove --purge package_name [02:25] Raptor05: Fails with "not marked as installed" [02:26] DWSR: or..sudo apt-get clean && sudo apt-get autoclean && sudo apt-get autoremove [02:26] Did all of those. [02:26] dpkg still listing packages with configuration files installed, but the package has been removed. [02:26] hello folks, i am running ubuntu 12.04 LTS on an HP pavilion dv7 laptop , my problem is my wireless internet is very slow, really i mean it is slow that speedtestdotnet shows my dowload is at 0.05 on a 13Mbps connection . any fix ? [02:27] DWSR: You might try snaptic package manager and remove it manually [02:27] Raptor05: dpkg knows about the packages. There's no way to purge removed packages? [02:28] DWSR: Try dpkg --help or it's man page to get options for purging. [02:28] nevermind, figured it out. [02:28] dpkg -l |awk ‘/^rc/ {print $2}’ |xargs sudo dpkg --purge <-- Just in case you care. [02:28] Just runs dpkg - [02:28] dpkg -l, pipes to awk, and runs a purge with dpkg against it. [02:29] DWSR: Have you tried dpkg -P or dpkg --purge package_name? [02:30] or just "aptitude purge ~c" [02:30] only if he has aptitude installed [02:30] Raptor05: I can purge them each manually. [02:30] Raptor05: Or I can just copypasta what I just showed you and let dpkg do it. [02:31] you'd better not copy+paste that command. [02:31] themill: I probably should actually install aptitude. [02:31] themill: Why? Works just fine. [02:31] Would anyone happen to know where I could get a quick answer to setting up IPTables? [02:31] aptitude is excellent imo [02:31] DWSR: perhaps you should copy+paste it and check ;) [02:32] ozruxo: What exactly are you trying to do with iptables? iptables is VERY flexible and powerful, and thus VERY complex. [02:32] themill: I understand what each portion of the command does. [02:32] DWSR: either the website you copied it from or your irc client have carefully put "smart quotes" in there not single quotes. [02:32] themill: Oh, IRC [02:34] aptitude did have some issues.. but i think its been fixed now.. but im not sure. ;) i rarely need it [02:34] I have the an apache server connect to mySQL with a restricted range of 1024:65535 but I want to make sure I can SSH to MYSQL as well through 3306. Trying to figure out how to add that line. [02:34] ozruxo: 1 server or 2? [02:35] 2 [02:35] ozruxo: sorry, 1 physical box or 2. [02:35] 2 [02:35] (or virtual, I suppose) [02:35] mkay. [02:35] hello folks, i am running ubuntu 12.04 LTS on an HP pavilion dv7 laptop , my problem is my wireless internet is very slow, really i mean it is slow that speedtestdotnet shows my dowload is at 0.05 on a 13Mbps connection . any fix ? [02:35] cisconinja: Do you have the same speed when sitting right next to the router, or when plugging your laptop in via an ethernet cable? [02:36] augh [02:36] I keep trying to install ubuntu gnome [02:36] DWSR: i am next to the wireless router [02:36] beta 2 and raring nightly just halt after the second screen [02:36] ozruxo: Do you want to SSH into the MySQL box, or do you want to use a MySQL admin tool to connect to the box. [02:36] bluefox: see #ubuntu+1 for rareing [02:36] the one that space checks and asks if you want to install updates during install [02:36] oh [02:37] SSH into MySQL perferred [02:37] why am I in this channel [02:37] ozruxo: Then don't run it on 3306. [02:37] Run it on 22., [02:37] bluefox: you tell us.. ;) [02:37] Like a good boy. [02:37] dr_willis, i didn/t /join [02:37] bluefox: your client did then... would be my guess [02:38] Hmm...should I have a separate SSH for my Apache Server or connect to one and remote into the other :S [02:38] it is telling me in the network tools that my lik speed is 1Mbps [02:39] ozruxo: It depends on how you have your network set up, to be quite honest. [02:39] hello [02:39] ozruxo: If they're set up as peers, then I would have seperate SSH servers set up for each one of them. [02:39] cisconinja: Then your link speed is 1Mbps. [02:40] cisconinja: Do you get the same speed if you plug the laptop into the router directly? [02:40] riddrib: Oh hai. [02:40] Same domain, and trying to access remotely? [02:40] hi all, something very interesting/strange is happenning to my ubuntu partition if anyone knows what's going on that'd be cool. my partition needs the live CD in to boot, but that's all it needs the CD for. any ideas why it needs the live cd to boot?? [02:40] ozruxo: I would have seperate SSH instances, personally. [02:40] ozruxo: That's me, though. [02:40] ozruxo: Though, if you only have 1 server that's just doing MySQL work, maybe not. [02:41] Yeah that seems like the best option atm [02:41] ozruxo: Especially since you can forward ports through an SSH tunnel if you really need to. [02:41] where can set eclipse to android? [02:41] !android [02:41] ok thank [02:42] Oh i will look that up. Thanks! [02:42] DWSR: i didn't try to connect it directly to my router, give me a min and i will come back with results [02:42] What's ubuntu-minimal? [02:43] !minimal [02:43] The Minimal CD image is very small in size, and it downloads most packages from the Internet during installation, allowing you to select only those you want (the installer is like the one on the !Alternate CD). See https://help.ubuntu.com/community/Installation/MinimalCD [02:43] DWSR: yep, with wire it is 14.46Mbps dowload and 10Mbps upload [02:43] dr_willis: No, the metapackage, not the installer. === MistaMike|away is now known as MistaMike [02:46] !paste [02:46] For posting multi-line texts into the channel, please use http://paste.ubuntu.com | To post !screenshots use http://imagebin.org/?page=add | !pastebinit to paste directly from command line | Make sure you give us the URL for your paste - see also the channel topic.

If anyone knows the answer they will most likely reply. :-) See also !patience [02:47] DWSR: it would be a meta-package that depends on whatever default packges come with the minimal install. i imagnine. [02:47] dr_willis: Heh, thanks. [02:47] !patience [02:47] Don't feel ignored and repeat your question quickly; if nobody knows your answer, nobody will answer you. While you wait, try searching https://help.ubuntu.com/ or http://ubuntuforums.org/ or http://askubuntu.com/ [02:48] Twenty-three: What I really meant was: Ask your question. [02:48] DWSR, yeah, i got that I just wanted to try !patience since it was suggested [02:49] AH [02:49] caps* [02:50] after a failed installation (due to missing dependencies) all of my open windows stopped responding, i was in a hurry so i decided to switch off the computer instead of waiting for it to respond [02:50] later on i tried to boot ubuntu and it just goes into a blank page indefinitely [02:50] i am using it as dual boot alongside with windows [02:50] 12.04 if that makes a difference [02:51] DWSR: http://paste.ubuntu.com/5709425/ [02:51] CiscoNinja_: Unfortunately, I can't help you any further. Not really knowledgable about wireless. [02:52] CiscoNinja_: Used Ubuntu too many times on laptops many years ago, and won't go near it for a laptop now. [02:52] o well you tried and i thank you for that === harry is now known as Guest18424 [02:52] Twenty-three: Are you talking on the machine you are having an issue with, or no? [02:52] dr_willis: are you available to assist me please [02:53] Twenty-three, have you tried booting into "Advanced Mode" when booting the kernel? Basically - when grub comes up, select "Advanced Options" and then select "RecoverY' for the currenty kernel [02:53] then do the "check all disks" option to check your disks [02:53] CiscoNinja_: depends on the issue. ;) [02:53] DWSR: i am using the computer in question but i am in windows at the moment [02:54] Twenty-three, you can even drop to a root shell if needed to fix potential issues... [02:54] Twenty-three: Do you have another way to get onto IRC? Phone, tablet, anything? It'll be a lot easier to fix if I can walk you through. [02:54] Twenty-three, and then also boot into a FailSafeX where you can reinstall packages as needed... === wakil is now known as Gajillion [02:54] dr_willis: very slow internet when i use my build in wifi card on an hp pav dv7 [02:54] Hello [02:54] when i use wired it is fast [02:55] CiscoNinja_: the chipset the wifi card is using is more imporntant then the make laptop [02:55] when using sudo su terminal will not accept my password [02:55] Guest18424: 1) You should be using sudo -s [02:55] Guest18424: 2) Is your user part of sudoers? [02:55] dr_willis: http://paste.ubuntu.com/5709425/ [02:55] Morpheaus: from what I have read, I don't think I get to see GRUB, from the screen in which I choose whether to boot as windows 7 or as ubuntu I am sent to a screen with some white text (so fast I cannot read it) and then immediatelly to the blank screen in which it sits indefinitely [02:56] Twenty-three: You have a bunch of recovery options. [02:56] I am having trouble changing the settings in my Software Sources window, Updates tab. When I check a box, it automatically unchecks itself. [02:56] Twenty-three, have you tried pressing Escape at this screen to see if you have any options? [02:56] DWSR: I don't have another way to get into IRC atm [02:56] Twenty-three: You can usually force GRUB to show up by hammering the escape key right after the BIOS. [02:56] Twenty-three, you can also boot the Ubuntu CD and use the recovery options from there as well... [02:56] Twenty-three: Additionally, if you have access to a DVD or USB stick, you can create a live environment to do work on your installation. [02:57] Twenty-three: I would recommend the second route, because you get the benefit of having a working computer with which to troubleshoot with. [02:58] Twenty-three: Worst comes to worst, you'll need to reinstall Ubuntu, but I HIGHLY doubt that. [02:58] CiscoNinja_: so you may want to be checking askubuntu.com or the forums for slow network speeds with the iwlwifi driver would be my guess. [02:58] DWSR, you can get grub to show up by holding down shift. [02:58] Twenty-three: I would almost be willing to bet you either need to just let dpkg finish the upgrade, or you just need to regenerate your grub menu. [02:58] while booting [02:58] bean: Sorry, it's GRUB2, not GRUB. [02:58] bean: My bad. [02:58] yeah, isn't it still hold down shift? [02:59] * bean forgets [02:59] bean: Yeah, I was saying you were right. [02:59] GRUB1 was hammer escape. [02:59] GRUB2 is shift. [02:59] hold shift. ;) i belive [02:59] Morpheaus and DWSR: i am not sure this is what you mean but I downloaded the installer and burned the .iso to a dvd, I assumed that upon booting from this it'd disply some fixing option but it only allows me to "try ubuntu" or to "install ubuntu" [02:59] Twenty-three: This isn't windows, there's no "repair" option. [02:59] Twenty-three: You want Try ubuntu. [03:00] Twenty-three: This gives you a live, working environment which you can do things in in order to fix your computer. [03:00] be nice if there was some repair options on the live cd. ;) to fix common issues [03:00] tried sudo -s but still wont accept my password [03:01] Twenty-three, yep - try ubuntu - you'll be able to clean everything up from there [03:01] Twenty-three: Basically, when you "Try Ubuntu", the entire contents of the disc are copied into the available physical RAM in your system, whereby the computer acts as if you have installed Ubuntu into your RAM. === wad_ is now known as wad [03:02] Twenty-three, https://help.ubuntu.com/community/LiveCdRecovery [03:02] DWSR, Ihad assumed access to whatever went wrong would be limited since this would be a temporary partition/environment and thus i wouldn't be able to do anything form there. Once there what should I do [03:02] Twenty-three, It also documents a failed update and how to resume the update process [03:02] <_unreal_> any one done a lot with XBMC? [03:02] Twenty-three: No, you can operate on any attached devices. [03:02] _unreal_: Yes, then I switched to Plex. [03:02] <_unreal_> plex? [03:02] Yes. [03:02] http://www.plexapp.com [03:02] It's forked from XBMC, but offers a segregation between serving media and consuming media. [03:03] Plex sort of annoyed me last week.. been using xbmc instead/. ;) [03:03] very good app (plex) - I prefer AirVideo for my iOS devices though :) [03:03] Morpheaus: I prefer not having iOS devices. :) [03:03] DWSR, totally understand :) [03:03] cant seem to get plex to work corectly now - due to some issue with myplex [03:03] DWSR and Morpheaus, I will try this, I'll be back either way to let you know how it went, ttyl [03:03] Twenty-three, good luck! [03:03] ^^ [03:03] thanks for you time :) [03:03] np [03:04] Anyway, I prefer plex to XBMC because of the centralization of media. [03:04] ^ding ding [03:04] I can stick PMS on a box with a ton of hardware (fast proc, gobs of RAM, huge arrays, etc.) [03:04] Then just mount a RasPi to each of my TVs. [03:04] Done. [03:05] Then I install plex on my phone, tablet, and laptops. I can consume media from any of them, or use my tablet or phone as a remote for an instance running on any other device. [03:05] DWSR: ;)Yep. thats whats my pis are doing.. but i havent messed been messing with them lately [03:05] So I can use my phone to control my RasPi running Plex. [03:05] <_unreal_> hum [03:05] DWSR, ya - lot's of small devices out now that you can also use (i.e. miniand GK803) that allow for playback of 1080p content streaming as well - I use PMS with these little devices and then don't need the high-end PC as they render the content [03:05] !ot | I'd rather not say this or interrupt, but [03:05] I'd rather not say this or interrupt, but: #ubuntu is the Ubuntu support channel, for all Ubuntu-related support questions.

I have a lot of dvd movies. that I want to put on the server [03:08] <_unreal_> I dont know what format to put them in on the server [03:09] Err. [03:09] There's only 1 container format. [03:09] And that's MKV. [03:09] lol, piracy site, _unreal? lol [03:09] Everything else is just a mockery. [03:09] FrankeH123: No, and please don't talk about piracy. [03:09] srry [03:09] <_unreal_> ? no FrankeH123 I have DVD'S [03:09] _unreal_, MKV - MPEG4 AVC [03:09] <_unreal_> MKV hum ok [03:09] FrankeH123: He can legally back up any DVDs he owns, depending on his physical location. [03:09] is it personal file server? [03:09] _unreal_: i got a htpc media player that can play dvds from ISO files. :) which is a neat trick ive not noticed other players doing. [03:09] FrankeH123: Yes. [03:09] <_unreal_> is there much of a file conversion from DVD to mkv? [03:09] Ah [03:09] <_unreal_> transcoding? [03:09] dr_willis: It's also completely pointless. [03:10] does anyone know if the cyborg v7 keyboard is compatible with ubuntu? [03:10] _unreal_: MKV is a container format, meaning it holds video and audio streams. [03:10] DWSR: not really. the wife wanted the special features on the dvds so shes happy now. [03:10] _unreal_, you have to re-encode them technically if you decide to change quality or convert the MPEG2 DVD to an MPEG4 stream... [03:10] does anyone know if the cyborg v7 keyboard is compatible with ubuntu? [03:10] Is there a way to make a user have the same owner privs as another? Like file.txt is owned and rw by Jim, can Sam somehow have that same priv without doing it through a group? [03:10] <_unreal_> I have not finished building my "MEDIA PC" yet. i'm using a dual core laptop as a media pc for now [03:10] rpbo: No. [03:11] rpbo: You can't have more than 1 owner. [03:11] FrankeH123: the basics of it should work.. but special features. will depend [03:11] Okay [03:11] I thought that much. [03:11] <_unreal_> one sec I'll find a link to show you what I"m building [03:11] rpbo: You could create a group with just the two of them in it, though. [03:11] anyone got an idea how I could program the macro ("c") keys? [03:11] that would be epic [03:11] DWSR: The problem is that I have a system user that needs group read access without group write access. [03:11] Is there a better place that I could go and ask about vsftpd? [03:12] DWSR: And I don't want to make it publicly readable [03:12] dr_willis: whats your opinion on the rat 5 mouse (working on ubuntu) [03:12] Make a new group with both of those users in it.

Anyone know if the R.A.T. 5 mouse works with ubuntu? Thanks in advance. [03:14] FrankeH123: I tend to only get those fancy gameing mice - if i find them on clearance. ;) got some razor now [03:14] DWSR: Cool, thanks [03:14] oh okay willis, but it will work right? [03:14] FrankeH123: i must have a large box of all these fancy gaming mice. [03:14] FrankeH123: the basics should work.. fancy features.. who knows.. [03:14] <_unreal_> heh [03:14] ha [03:14] <_unreal_> I use to be a GOD at FPS games [03:15] okay great, i really like 'em, so I wanna make sure im not flushing $150 down the drain [03:15] FrankeH123: If I recall correctly, a stepcousin of mine uses a RAT 7 with Ubuntu... but I don't know if buttons other than left and right and the scroll wheel worked. [03:15] FrankeH123: theres likely to be some special servers/settings for some of them. i found one for the razers [03:15] <_unreal_> then I got older and worked at a job that was all repitition. and destroied my hands [03:15] <_unreal_> :( [03:16] guys, I just found an old ImageWriter II, haha, i'm going to get a macintosh SE (or something) and print with it XD [03:16] terminal wont accept my admin paasword. [03:17] hmm, I heard about getting ubuntu on floppies, and getting computers to boot from then, even if they are super old, anyone know anything about that? [03:18] <_unreal_> no but you should check out "QNX floppy" [03:18] Hmm [03:18] <_unreal_> just GOOGLE that [03:18] ik [03:18] floppies...wow...I wouldn't even try on that hardware - just get some small rasberry pi... [03:19] ik, but it would be awesome to get linux on some macintosh se [03:19] <_unreal_> heh [03:19] FrankeH123: $150 for a mouse is a bit silly.. i just look for them when i can find them on clearance.. [03:19] no lol [03:19] hi, does anyone experienced freezing while copying a file to usb--- ubuntu 12.10 [03:19] the rat 5 is 70 i think [03:20] but I also want the cyborg v7 [03:20] FrankeH123: I often find the older models on clearance for half that. [03:20] hmm [03:20] got a death adder 3.5 for like $40 the other day [03:20] idc though the money keeps flowing in.... (i recently made a s**t ton on bitcoins) [03:20] anyone having trouble keeping bluetooth headset connected in ubuntu 12.10 using blueman app [03:21] hello my friends [03:21] i come in peace [03:21] <_unreal_> thats what the last guy said [03:21] Lol [03:21] fck it, BAN [03:21] lol [03:22] are you trying to be funny ?

What can I do to solve this conflict. [03:23] phelps: do you want to upgrade to 12.10 (not LTS)? [03:23] Phelps: you have to modify one file [03:23] phelps, it's quite simple [03:23] I just solved this problem [03:23] Unity is Freezing/Lagging after doing update via update manager.. updated x.org Packages and many more.. also the latest kernel.. clicking onthe the Dash hangs for 20 secs [03:23] install windows [03:23] willis why would you want a death adder [03:23] any ideas on how to avoid stalling or freezing after copying a file to usb?

Otherwise, please keep the comments to yourself [03:23] <_unreal_> and do you have the major repo's enabled? [03:23] compagny, is it over 4gigs? format the flash drive as ntfs then. [03:24] Phelps: modify /etc/update-manager/release-upgrades [03:24] Modify prompt=normal [03:24] AndrueLs you are a complete idiot. windows is crap [03:24] This way it is going to get all normal updates, not only LTE [03:25] LTS [03:25] <_unreal_> the ONLY candle windows has is the fact that a lot of hardware is built for DIRECTX [03:25] phelps, http://www.howtoforge.com/how-to-upgrade-ubuntu-12.04-lts-precise-pangolin-to-12.10-quantal-quetzal-desktop-and-server [03:25] if you want windows programs you can either get wine or "get" a copy of windows and multiboot, or virtualize [03:26] the drive is over 4g, the files are not, i have it on fat32, cause i need it that way, for tv playback, but the transfer itself goes fine, 3.0 unit, and then when it says its all transfered, it freezes for minutes, 3 or 4x more time than the time it took to copy [03:26] the only thing windows has (in my opinion) is that almost evey program is compatible with it, which is retarded, because if people got linux, we wouldn't have that problem [03:26] FrankeH123 , what would you know ? [03:26] Rlly? [03:26] felizardo, Morpheaus: thanks [03:26] Because I've used windows, f*cktard [03:26] FrankeH123, wrong, windows has blue screen of death [03:26] let's get back to support.

[03:31] Im trying to dual boot win7 and kubuntu but cant get the live cd to detect windows. Should i install kubuntu first then windows or vice versa? [03:31] that sounds smart secretfire [03:31] SonikkuAmerica: I'll just download latest from the site and maintain it myself. It comes with a prebuilt binary, so it's cake to use. [03:31] SecretFireMobile, usually - the Windows Installer will break the ubuntu boot loader [03:31] when you get the livecd started get gparted, and make a new partition, (you know the deal) [03:31] SecretFireMobile, I'd be careful either way (make a backup) [03:32] yeah, but im asuming if he can install kubuntu over that, he already is done backing up [03:33] or he doesn't have any data that he needs on it. [03:33] oh wait secret [03:33] Secret! [03:33] Morpheaus, i feel like there are too many off topic kids who want some attention , take you for example, what's your part in this conversation ? :-) [03:33] SecretFireMobile, check this out for the process of doing ubuntu first and then what could happen when instlaling Windows: https://help.ubuntu.com/community/RecoveringWindows [03:33] SecretFire [03:33] AndreuLs, support - just chime in when I know something or can help somoene in the right direction [03:33] Why not just use the custom option in installing it and choose a diff partition? it doesn't need to detect windows [03:33] just all the partitions === MistaMike is now known as MistaMike|away [03:33] AndreuLs, there are many like me that do this - the ops keep everything civil which is good for everyone on here [03:34] !civility [03:34] !civil [03:34] using ubuntu 12.10 i cant seem to synchronize my tomboy notes from https://one.ubuntu.com/notes, what could be the problem? [03:34] (Odd, I thought there was a !command for that [03:34] ) [03:34] ! [03:34] !help [03:34] Please don't ask to ask a question, simply ask the question (all on ONE line and in the channel, so that others can read and follow it easily). If anyone knows the answer they will most likely reply. :-) See also !patience [03:34] SonikkuAmerica, there should be one :) [03:34] i install wicd from source tar.gz,but when i compile,it shows me "pybabel command not found",but i have installed babel. [03:34] how can i go back to unity in 12.04LTS from xbuntu please [03:35] Help! Dash hangs for eternity after Updating .. via update manager [03:35] cisconinja, From the login screen. Do you want to remove xubuntu? [03:35] why would you switch in the first place, im tired of all the bitching about unity, its fine [03:35] cisconinja, sudo apt-get install ubuntu-desktop [03:35] cisconinja, use that command and it should remove xubuntu-desktop and model the packages after ubuntu-desktop [03:36] Morpheaus, That does not remove xubuntu. [03:36] using ubuntu 12.10 i cant seem to synchronize my tomboy notes from https://one.ubuntu.com/notes, what could be the problem? [03:36] bla bla bla , please abtain yourself from further comments, i was talking to a channel moderator, he explained the rules, it's ok , i got it but i don't see the point of you or the other 3 kids jump in the conversation in a rude typical childish way. [03:36] wilee-nilee: Way to steal my line. :) [03:36] You never know who you're talking to. [03:36] how do i get terminal to accept password [03:36] AndreuLs what do you know? [03:36] <_unreal_> Guest18424, give it the right one [03:36] type in the right password ? [03:36] wilee-nilee, hrmmm - didn't know that (I've always added fro xubuntu repo's but kept ubuntu-desktop) [03:37] Guest18424, by usinguser password in the admin account [03:37] <_unreal_> Guest18424, are your CAPS locks on? [03:37] Hey guys, I'm having a bit of a problem with Xorg taking up a large chunk of CPU when using Firefox (scrolling/animated gifs/animated javascript), and xchat (scrolling), any idea what's going on/how I can fix it? [03:37] guys from alt - f2 i cant login [03:37] wilee-nilee, would this work - it's a bit aggressive: sudo apt-get remove xubuntu-desktop && sudo apt-get install ubuntu-desktop [03:37] <_unreal_> firefox uses lots of cpu/mem [03:38] FrankeH123: Do you mean Ctrl+Alt+F2? [03:38] <_unreal_> try google chrome [03:38] Guest18424: password + enter [03:38] <_unreal_> or a lighter we browser OmnipotentEntity [03:38] cisconinja, Can you clearly state what you want? [03:38] I'm assuming that set's it back to the base install and you'd need to install packages you possibly had on Ubuntu before the conversion... [03:38] terminal will not accept numbers [03:38] dont use chrome [03:38] chrome = SPYWARE [03:38] _unreal_, I have 16GB of memory and an 8-core AMD processor, there should be no reason why Xorg just sits at 100% CPU when it's open on a webpage, also XChat exhibits the same behavior [03:38] FrankeH123: O.o [03:38] wilee-nilee: i am currently on xbuntu. i want to remove it and go back to unity [03:39] well unreal said try google chjrome [03:39] And, as i said, CHROME = SPYWARWE [03:39] <_unreal_> OmnipotentEntity, sounds like you have some CODE problems locked in a loop if your sitting at 100% cpu [03:39] Firefox is for pros [03:39] FrankeH123: And how so, other than Google uses that info for their own purposes? [03:39] I have been unable to reproduce the issue with Chrome, but I prefer using Firefox [03:40] cisconinja, if it's just "unity" and lightdm that you want - you could just set lightdm and unity as the defaults - to get lightdm: sudo dpkg-reconfigure lightdm [03:40] cisconinja, This site in the playing around option gives you lists of specific releases on removing whole desktops and installing another. http://www.psychocats.net/ubuntu/ [03:40] OmnipotentEntity: The X.Org server is doing this? [03:40] <_unreal_> OmnipotentEntity, is this a problem from the moment you start the program or only after visiting a few web pages? [03:41] <_unreal_> and who ever said chrome = spyware, NO ARGUMENT there but are not all web browsers moe or less spyware [03:41] the CPU usage is under the Xorg process, but it seems to be linked to Firefox or XChat usage. It's not immediate in most cases but I can trigger it by going to certain websites. [03:41] Morpheaus: I don't think the lightdm thing will help the case any, Xubuntu uses lightdm (GTK+ 2 version) [03:41] cisconinja, Be sure you are using the desktop package lists for what ever release you are using [03:41] <_unreal_> OmnipotentEntity, do those web pages have JAVA? [03:41] asdf [03:41] Back === baba is now known as hack [03:41] <_unreal_> fdsa [03:41] unable to use numbers in my admin password, why? [03:41] cisconinja, then it's just selecting "ubuntu desktop" at lightdm - right? Xubuntu uses xfce... [03:41] <_unreal_> Guest18424, thats F'ed up [03:41] _unreal_, yes, they have java [03:42] well, javascript [03:42] Guest18424: of course you can... [03:42] <_unreal_> OmnipotentEntity, I thought so.... [03:42] Who knows a great system proxy for ubuntu, i cant find any good 1 [03:42] and a simple one [03:42] _unreal_, Remember this is a family channel. ;) [03:42] <_unreal_> OmnipotentEntity, I'm just speculating but I wonder if you have some kind of a settings/code ERROR in your java [03:42] _unreal_, that would cause firefox's javascript engine to peg 100% CPU, not X.org [03:42] Who knows a great system proxy for ubuntu, i cant find any good 1 [03:43] and again, I cannot reproduce this on another browser [03:43] sorry terminal will not accept numbers, how come? [03:43] <_unreal_> wilee-nilee, sorry [03:43] Guest18424, do you have numlock enabled? [03:43] Who knows a great system proxy for ubuntu, i cant find any good one, a simple one to, thanks. [03:43] no [03:43] <_unreal_> OmnipotentEntity, I was just goin to say that to Guest18424 [03:43] Are you using the numpad to enter numbers? [03:44] <_unreal_> OmnipotentEntity, I still think you may have a java issue [03:44] Guest18424, Are you in the account of your original install? [03:44] wont work with both [03:44] thats an obvious PEBKAC issue. [03:44] _unreal_, then why does XChat do it? [03:44] <_unreal_> Guest18424, there is NO reason why you can not use numbers.. I find it hard to believe that your computer is not letting you use numbers as part of a password. I think ther is something you are not telling us or something is really broken [03:44] good ole kebyoard and chair :) [03:44] wtf is xchat, sounds like a p0rn channel [03:45] !wtf [03:45] Please watch your language and topic to help keep this channel family-friendly, polite, and professional. [03:45] !info xchat [03:45] it's an IRC client FrankeH123 [03:45] xchat (source: xchat): IRC client for X similar to AmIRC. In component universe, is optional. Version 2.8.8-3ubuntu15 (quantal), package size 345 kB, installed size 869 kB [03:45] ah, lol [03:45] <_unreal_> OmnipotentEntity, xchat I cant say. unless there is a linked libarary that is messed up [03:45] it happenened after last upgrade [03:45] have to agree though, xchat does sound like something it's not. [03:46] _unreal_: libsexy2 maybe? (I'm not even kidding, that's what the library is called) [03:46] OmnipotentEntity: ^ That. [03:46] i usually rename my xchat shortcuts to "IRC Client" or something like that... then change the icon [03:46] <_unreal_> Guest18424, then: apt-get/yum update/upgrade again [03:46] i know im instlaling it, lol libsexy [03:46] !snack | _unreal_, Guest18424 [03:46] When I install bitlbee on ubuntu 12.04 using apt-get, apt-get sets it up to start up on start of the system. How does it do this? Cron? something else? how can I tell? [03:47] !botsnack | _unreal_, Guest18424 [03:47] _unreal_, Guest18424: Yum! Err, I mean, APT! [03:47] have done so still not fixed [03:47] Slow / Lagging Desktop repaints, Program start up, workspace switching, after using Update Manager, ubuntu12.04 with Kernel 3.2.0-40 [03:47] _unreal_, Yum? [03:47] <_unreal_> I dont know what he is running [03:47] WotWhere: What are your processor and graphics card? [03:47] WotWhere, sounds like an xorg driver issue - have you tried going back to a previous kernel release? [03:47] bretolius: could have placed in init scripts /etc/rcsomething [03:47] sup [03:48] bretolius, generally it sets it up in the init scripts, you can find them under /etc/init [03:48] <_unreal_> I'm on a vista/laptop right now [03:48] OmnipotentEntity, thanks I will look [03:48] <_unreal_> the only windows computer I have :) [03:48] you boot to vista to chat on IRC? [03:48] bretolius, they are then linked to /etc/rc2.d etc [03:49] <_unreal_> that and my digital camcorder wont work with linux [03:49] <_unreal_> and its software is so custom that It wont work in wine :/ [03:49] _unreal_: leading edge model? [03:49] <_unreal_> naaaa [03:49] intel cpu Core 2 Duo, and Intel graphics media accel 4500MHD, @Morpheaus yes i did update xorg packs.. how to undo? [03:50] _unreal_: Just a side note: Why would anyone here use YUM? Just wondering. [03:50] <_unreal_> being a parent of a 4yo I dont feel like spending lots of time trying to get a loosing battle in my favor :) [03:50] WotWhere, it may be related to either the kernel driver or the xorg driver - did you install anything "experimental" or were you just doing regular updates? [03:50] <_unreal_> I have different distro's on different computers [03:50] OmnipotentEntity, i see S20bitlbee in /etc/rc2.d [03:50] <_unreal_> my gaming rig has ubuntu 12.10 [03:50] OmnipotentEntity is it okay to edit that? [03:51] <_unreal_> my media pc (laptop) in the living room is running fedora 18 [03:51] bretolius, if you ls -l you'll see it's a softlink to /etc/init/bitlbee likely [03:51] why do you want to edit it? [03:51] <_unreal_> my retro/legacy system has win98/lglinux [03:51] no regular updates via the update manager.. it ahs to be the xorg.. coz after restarting and seeing the Slow repaints.. then i did the Kernel update [03:52] <_unreal_> WotWhere, slow repaints? [03:52] WotWhere, to downgrade packages - I use synaptic - sudo apt-get install synaptic - from there you can highlight a package, and then click on "Package --> Force Package" and select the version you'd like... [03:53] WotWhere: There was a recent update to xserver-xorg-core though... [03:53] You can see what xorg packages that were installed by opening Software Center and clicking on the "History" tab - it'll show you the last packages you installed - you can then write them down and then regress then with synaptic... [03:54] <_unreal_> she_dyed, my camcorder is an SD 30GB harddrive and has a memory card slot supporting upto 16gb adititonal [03:54] OmnipotentEntity, i installed bitlbee via apt-get and it works perfectlty, but I would like some of the features in the newer version, so I installed it into /usr/local from source.... installing from source does not set up the correct startup or the correct user like apt-get does.... so either I need to set up the source install correctly like the apt-get one, or have the apt-get install [03:54] point to the right version of the program [03:54] obiously, i dont really know what I am dong [03:54] doing* [03:54] @_unreal_ ex. when i switch the workspace using ctrl+alt+arrow key, its takes a sec to switch or Lags, the Dash hangs for an eternity [03:55] bretolius, is the newest version in debian yet? Because you can construct a .deb package that you can install, rather than attempting to manage it directly. [03:55] <_unreal_> ..... WotWhere hum... [03:55] <_unreal_> are you running dual screen? [03:55] it will save you a lot of work. [03:55] OmnipotentEntity, i have never done that, do you know a good tutorial for that? [03:55] <_unreal_> by any chance WotWhere do you hyave more then one video device connected at the same time displaying video on that computer? [03:56] @Morpheaus dont have synaptics will install it.. trying ur suggestions [03:56] <_unreal_> like a TV and monitor? [03:56] WotWhere, can you run glxinfo? It's in the package mesa-utils [03:56] and OmnipotentEntity, do you recomend doing that for all source installs? [03:56] yes [03:56] WotWhere, I hope it works for you - I've been there more times then one - had to deal with this when getting Ubuntu working on the Hackberry A0 [03:56] _unreal_ : simple HP dv5 laptop [03:56] A0 = A10 [03:56] im used to doing source installs as a user on shared shell... im kind of flying blind since I got sudo privliges [03:57] if I install something via source, "sudo make install", can I uninstall it using synaptic package manager? [03:57] Akiva-Mobile, no [03:57] <_unreal_> ok but that does not answer the question. do you have more then one video display connected to the laptop? LCD display and external? or just one [03:57] and if I can't, do I have to "make" it again before I can do "sudo make uninstall"? [03:57] Akiva-Mobile, no [03:57] Gahhhhhhrrrrr why cant homebrew just work on linux :( [03:57] Akiva-Mobile, you do not have to compile again to make uninstall [03:57] is there a pandora client for ubuntu? [03:57] Akiva-Mobile: You'll have to [ sudo make uninstall ] from the directory you installed it to, unless the program has its own uninstall script. [03:57] if the Makefile contains a make uninstall you're in luck, most don't [03:58] only if it has an uninstall in the make file [03:58] <_unreal_> WotWhere, only reason i ask is becasue some video mods can cause great slow down. if running multi display. and one of the settings is of an ODD resolution. [03:58] Akiva-Mobile, if it doesn't then you generally only must remove it from /usr/local/bin [03:58] but it depends on what it is of course [03:58] <_unreal_> its a lack of support by the video card. but thats just one direction of many for solving your issue. [03:58] _unreal_, if it was working before the update - and no hardware/enviromental factors occurred - then this shouldn't matter - if hardware did change though, your point is valid [03:59] OmnipotentEntity: is that tough, or are all the files in usr/local/bin self contained? [03:59] Akiva-Mobile, depends on the source file. I don't even know what we're talking about [03:59] meaning that would it just be, "sudo rm /usr/local/bin/qtcreator [03:59] @OmnipotentEntity what info do u need from glxinfo.. ? === hack is now known as megha [04:00] OmnipotentEntity, are you talking about using something like this?: http://packages.debian.org/sid/bitlbee [04:00] OmnipotentEntity: I had installed a version of qtcreator from a trunk, and I want to now use the ubuntu version; hoping they merged the files since then. [04:00] WotWhere, does it say "direct rendering: Yes" [04:01] bretolius, exactly, you can download the package source and recompile on your system so it uses your libs instead of the ones included in sid, then install it [04:01] using dpkg [04:01] Akiva-Mobile, I don't know off of the top of my head, I'd take a look in the Makefile under the install heading and see what it does [04:01] then try to reverse that as well as possible. === adante_ is now known as adante [04:03] OmnipotentEntity: In general, does .deb and other package managers tend to do perfect clean installs and uninstalls? Or are they like windows, where they always leave traces of code behind? [04:03] <_unreal_> does any one know of a good GUI program for changing the tv output. what I mean is fixing the output like flicker and size not resolution. to FIT to a TV [04:03] Yes Direct rendering [04:04] server glx version 1.4 [04:04] Akiva-Mobile: Sometimes an installed .deb will leave dependencies behind, but they can be knocked off using [ apt-get autoremove ] or something like Ubuntu Tweak [04:04] vendor string : Mesa project and SGI [04:05] SonikkuAmerica: thanks [04:05] OmnipotentEntity, is there a proper place to do the building? /usr/local/src? [04:05] sorry new to this [04:06] im looking at following this guide s, exactly, you can download the package source and recompile on your system so it uses your libs instead of the ones included in sid, then install it [04:06] shit [04:06] this guide* http://askubuntu.com/questions/28372/how-do-i-get-the-source-code-of-packages-installed-through-apt-get === jack is now known as Guest59561 [04:06] <_unreal_> bretolius, please dont cuss [04:06] sorry, didn't know that was a cuss here i will refrain [04:07] <_unreal_> bretolius, I'm very suprised you didnt get bot curse slapped [04:07] <_unreal_> heh [04:07] <_unreal_> bretolius, are you trying to compile? [04:08] <_unreal_> I missed your orignal question [04:08] im trying to follow OmnipotentEntity's recomendation of building a .deb instead of trying to manage source installs by hand [04:08] which honestly sounds like a better way of doing it [04:08] <_unreal_> ahhh.. then follow his lead rather then going in multi directions [04:08] bretolius, you can do your building right in your home directory [04:09] anyway, _unreal_ got my problem solved. It turns out it was an nvidia setting I had to adjust, thank you for your input. [04:09] ta guys [04:09] <_unreal_> what setting? [04:09] <_unreal_> !! sigh [04:09] pants off [04:10] <_unreal_> ? [04:10] I was about to !language that. [04:11] WotWhere, I've got a box here I haven't updated in a while - as SonikkuAmerica said - it looks like xserver-common and xserver-xorg-core both are updated for 12.04 LTS [04:12] there were also some updates to libxrandr - I thought the intel's heavily relied on xrandr stuff...? [04:12] hello [04:12] Yo [04:12] is there a room for ubuntustudio? [04:13] okaaaay [04:14] Hi all,anyone successfully install Chrome on Ubuntu 13.04 64 bit? [04:14] Azharr, I have chromium but not chrome running... [04:15] <_unreal_> I read something about installing from binary [04:15] Azharr, you should joing #ubuntu+1 for 13.04 as well [04:15] Azharr, is there an issue? [04:15] ok [04:15] Azharr, this is mainstream support [04:15] yeah [04:15] dependency [04:15] is there any way to hide the "Recent Files" stream from Unity? [04:16] libudev0(>=147) [04:16] habla Ingles Azharr? [04:16] Azharr i will look into it [04:17] Azharr, udev should be at 175 on 13.04 [04:18] Azharr, are you installing from a deb file? [04:18] Azharr, i was going to ask the same did you grab the https://dl.google.com/linux/direct/google-chrome-stable_current_amd64.deb [04:19] Azharr, then sudo dpkg -i google-chrome* [04:19] yes [04:20] yes [04:20] ok === Tony_Stark is now known as Guest91229 [04:20] why dont applications get updates once they are apart of a particular ubuntu release? even when updates are available? [04:20] Azharr, what happened when you tried? [04:20] !latest | bretolius [04:20] bretolius: Packages in Ubuntu may not be the latest. Ubuntu aims for stability, so "latest" may not be a good idea. Post-release updates are only considered if they are fixes for security vulnerabilities, high impact bug fixes, or unintrusive bug fixes with substantial benefit. See also !backports, !sru, and !ppa. [04:21] bretolius: thats how 'rolling releases' do it. and ubuntu is not really a rolling release. [04:21] Azharr, you may need to install the package and force no depdency checks - you'll want to at least check to see what depdencies are required and manually install them...then run dpkg --force-depends -i filename.deb [04:21] isnt ubuntu switching to rolling here soon? [04:22] Azharr, and to force the removal you may need to run dpkg --force-depends -r packagename [04:22] bretolius: They did mention it, but they didn't switch yet [04:22] Morpheaus : what if i install KDE.. will that help? [04:22] bretolius: its still being 'debated' and i dont think it willbe the same as other disrtos do it [04:23] Azharr, but either way - 13.04 is still beta so many sources may not be current for version/dependency checks... [04:23] bretolius: Ubuntu is partially rolling [04:24] who here has teh new windows 8? [04:24] omg it's so edgy bein' anonymous [04:24] cock-gobbler, i do [04:24] WotWhere, it'll change xfce to kde - if all you're trying to do is select another window manager at lightdm, you should be able to click on the User name to login, and then click on the Ubuntu symbol (or the square) in the top right corner of the user name box and select "Ubuntu" [04:24] does anyone like COD [04:24] omg i'm such a gaer [04:24] OMG i meant to say GAMER [04:24] LOL [04:25] cock-gobbler, i don't have any problems with win8 it is more secure and loads faster..also disables a lot of older problems as start up [04:25] cock-gobbler: do you have an actual ubuntu support question? [04:25] but how does it compare to vista? [04:25] i currently use xp [04:26] cock-gobbler: I tried Windows 8, but I prefer Ubuntu [04:26] omg ubuntu is so obsolete nowadays [04:26] Morpheaus : No was happy with Gnome been using it for 6 mnths.. only need to solve the Lag / Slow problem.. have installed Synaptics having a look now [04:26] i just use google chrome [04:26] cock-gobbler: The folk at #windows are more of Windows enthusiasts [04:26] linux [04:26] oh...i see now [04:26] is that a thing? [04:27] i hate windows [04:27] cock-gobbler: Ubuntu? Obsolete? [04:27] apple4lyfe [04:27] wow. does anyone actually realize that this guy is a troll? [04:27] don't worry about it [04:27] http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=1XZGHOxnCto is cock-gobbler [04:27] WotWhere, changing to KDE wouldn't help with the lag - it's got to be related to either the kernel update, the xorg-common or xorg-base, or possibly the libxrandr updates that were pushed out... [04:27] kaictl: and a poor one at that. [04:28] IdleOne, now that's a process... [04:29] Morpheaus : dont have libxrandr theres an ( ! ) next to it [04:31] WotWhere, hrmm - in Synaptic it may make sense to click on "Mark all upgrades" and then click Apply to see if that package is marked for some type of installation/removal... [04:32] WotWhere, on my intel based ubuntu with the HD 3000 - this package was installed but it's also a media server so it may be needed for other tasks - I thought libxrandr was for intel display switching... [04:33] <_unreal_> Morpheaus, xrandr man [04:34] hello [04:34] disconnected [04:34] libudev0(>=147) dependency is not satisfiable [04:34] ok [04:34] dpkg: error processing google-chrome* (--install): [04:34] cannot access archive: No such file or directory [04:34] Errors were encountered while processing: [04:34] Azharr: Please don't flood; use http://paste.ubuntu.com to paste; don't use Enter as punctuation. [04:34] google-chrome* [04:34] Hello guys, 3 of my Ubuntu 12.04 servers (including a fresh installation) have just been hacked and I've lost root access! Anyone know what happened? [04:35] wildstrangething, when was their last updates applied (security specifically)... [04:36] Morpheaus: I did not do that.. oops! [04:36] wildstrangething: I would disconnect them from the network ASAP. [04:36] wildstrangething, there's your answer... [04:36] wildstrangething: Especially if they contain sensitive customer data. [04:37] I'm retrieving the data now... i've lost root access.. only left with ftp access [04:37] hmm [04:37] to get the security updates, do I have to apt-get upgrade every week or so? [04:38] wildstrangething, use the recovery cd to get back in at least - or at grub drop to root shell - you should reinstall from scratch and disable any services that you do not need and harden the system - now that they broke in, they could have created backdoors where you cannot patch them in the system... [04:38] wildstrangething, every week is a good practice - you could also setup a cron job to do this to automate it if needed... [04:39] remember, apt-get dist-upgrade will do kernel upgrade too. [04:39] and other held back versions [04:41] bean Morpheaus: is apt-get upgrade sufficient or will u also do apt-get dist-upgrade [04:42] . [04:43] apt-get update && apt-get upgrade at a minimum - kernel exploits are a bit harder...but do exist... [04:44] Hello Everybody [04:44] Is there any application for linux / ubuntu which would allow bluetooth dialing in nokia mobile phone? [04:44] thanks! [04:47] wildstrangething: Just to reiterate, you *must* re-install these systems from scratch now that they have been compromised. [04:48] ^^ entirely agree with Jordan_U [04:48] Jordan_U: Yup I'm reinstalling the OS right now [04:48] should i do a apt-get update apt-get upgrade right after installing the OS and before installing the other apps? Or do the upgrades after installing my apps [04:49] wildstrangething: i like to update/upgrade befre installing anything else [04:49] wildstrangething: Install all updates before making any services available over the internet. [04:49] apt-get dist-upgrade? [04:50] apt-get update apt-get upgrade apt-get dist-upgrade [04:50] wildstrangething, install a few basic apps that you need to use now, suhc as byobu or firefox, then do the updates while making minor tweaks or browsing facebook, then install the other packages you want. [04:50] oh they both do different things [04:50] its a web server, so I guess its ok i'll do the upgrades first [04:50] Anybody there? [04:50] wildstrangething: apt-get dist-upgrade should only be needed if something has gone wrong, you should check regularly that the apt-get upgrade is completing successfully, without any held packages. [04:50] wildstrangething, and if you really want to be safe - take an exact image of the system you're doing to use it for forensics... [04:51] Jordan_U: that was really my main point.. if it's holding back packages, then run dist-upgrade [04:51] wildstrangething, if you don't know the order of packages to install, are you sure you should be running a webserver? [04:51] wildstrangething, and do NOT change the root password - leave it as-is which is a hash that cannot be re-created by libcrypt [04:51] what do u mean by witholding back packages? [04:52] aarcane: i spend most of my time on web dev, starting to learn how to administer the server [04:52] wildstrangething: sometimes you'll see (after running apt-get upgrade)... "No updates installed, but the following packages are available to be upgraded" (or something to that effect)... usually kernel upgrades, etc.. thats when you run apt-get dist-upgrade [04:52] wildstrangething, just don't dive into production until you're comfortable with it :) [04:53] wildstrangething: Were you using any server side scripting, or just serving static pages? [04:53] aarcane: i got off cpanel vps a year ago, now playing with dedicated servers [04:53] ubuntu server is really pretty easy.. i switched to OMV for my NAS, but ubuntu server is easy [04:53] Hi everyone.. I would like to stop internet traffic if I get disconnected from the VPN... I'm getting an error explained on the pastebin: http://paste.ubuntu.com/5709554/ what can I do to solve it? [04:53] ya - and figured out how to harden it and recover in this type of situation - running apache from a chroot may be a smart thing to look into... [04:53] Jordan_U: I was using nginx with php5, mysql, postgresql, redis, postgis [04:53] or even run it in a QEMU environment... [04:54] Morpheaus: i always ssh in using root... bad practice? [04:54] wildstrangething, extremely bad [04:54] wildstrangething, bad bad bad practice [04:54] wildstrangething, install your firewall and webserver first, configure the firewall to only allow ssh, then upgrade everything. while upgrading everything, configure your webserver of choice, and when the upgrades complete, including any restart, finalize your webserver then enable ports for your webserver and ports of choice. [04:55] wildstrangething, I rarely use the root login - it's only at the recovery console - for all other tasks - sudo -i if I need it persistant or sudo "app" [04:55] Hi everyone.. I would like to stop internet traffic if I get disconnected from the VPN... I'm getting an error explained on the pastebin: http://paste.ubuntu.com/5709554/ what can I do to solve it? [04:56] Morpheaus: i'll start doing that.. upon installing the OS, the web hosting company will email me the root password [04:56] wildstrangething, I would highly recommend reading this article for your next box: http://joshrendek.com/2013/01/securing-ubuntu/ [04:56] hello there...i cant install last nvidia drivers...a message like xorg server is running appears and i just cant install the drivers...anyone [04:56] hanslanda, 319 drivers? [04:56] !details | hanslanda [04:56] hanslanda: 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 ..." [04:57] Morpheaus, im not sure..i need the last gt 430 64bits driver [04:57] wildstrangething: Then it's possible that they got in through a bug in your server side code. No amount of hardening or keeping up with updates can prevent someone from getting in if your own code is vulnerable. Security is comprehensive, so keep up with updates, follow best practices, *and* check your own code (and have at least one other person check it as well). [04:57] Morpheaus: looking into that article [04:58] so ehrrmmm anyone experienced with openvpn and ufw? [04:58] Jordan_U: probably not an SQL injection... I have a server witwh a fresh ubuntu 12.04 installation and it got hacked too [04:58] hanslanda, for the stable branch - just install nvidia-current - sudo apt-get install nvidia-current [04:58] thats a server with nothing on it.. no apache/nginx/mysql [04:59] wildstrangething: Well the fact that the root password was sent in a plain text email in the first place is also concerning. [04:59] hanslanda, otherwise, you're in a territory where you need to manually install the drivers - you should be able to get by with nvidia-current [04:59] wonder how that empty server got hacked [04:59] Jordan_U: right.. i change it right away [05:00] Morpheaus, when i do that in the nvidia settings and set 75hz refreshrate it changes to "auto" every reboot...and on display option under system settings it is always changing from "auto" to 75 hz too [05:00] Just installed Ubuntu for the first time, getting a lot of weird distorted graphics on startup [05:00] anyone experienced with UFW and OpenVpn [05:00] Morpheaus, i think its because the nvidia-current is not the right one [05:00] ? [05:00] 12.1 on a Windows 7 dual boot [05:00] !patience | NateJones [05:00] NateJones: Don't feel ignored and repeat your question quickly; if nobody knows your answer, nobody will answer you. While you wait, try searching https://help.ubuntu.com/ or http://ubuntuforums.org/ or http://askubuntu.com/ [05:01] sorry Ben64 hehehe [05:01] !nomodeset | Noob98756 [05:01] Noob98756: 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 [05:01] hi. is there an alternative flash player for ubuntu 10.04 that works on face book? [05:01] hanslanda: nvidia-current supports the gt430, you could also do the nvidia-experimental-310 [05:01] hanslanda, need to know what version you're trying to get running... [05:01] Great, I'll take a look at it, thanks Ben and Ubottu [05:02] is there any way to hide the "Recent Files" stream from Unity? [05:02] Thanks a Heap it seems to be working now.. i think libxrandr2 did the trick [05:02] Rus: 10.04 is only supported for the next ~10 days, you should upgrade before then [05:02] WotWhere, awesome to hear :) [05:02] :) Thanks again [05:02] thanks Ben64. [05:02] Morpheaus, didnt understand...what version im trying to get running....what distro u mean [05:03] WotWhere, np - enjoy! [05:03] Ben64, well...it seems ok with nvidia-current..but every reboot it changes the vertical refresh like i said [05:03] hanslanda, nvidia releases versions of their drivers - 304.xx, 310.xx, 319.xx - you should be able to see the version that you want to download and install in the file or at the web site that you downloaded it from... [05:04] nurow, follow the steps @ http://paste.ubuntu.com/5709570/ [05:04] does the plugin finder service 2 work? [05:04] hanslanda, I'm trying to figure out what version you're running so you can install it from ubuntu repositories which do not require you to drop out of X to install the drivers [05:04] hanslanda: start nvidia-settings with sudo and write the configuration to the x config file [05:05] Morpheaus, Version: [05:05] 310.44 [05:05] thanks NateJones [05:05] you are welcome nurow [05:05] hanslanda, from the terminal - sudo apt-get install nvidia-310 [05:06] Morpheaus, Unable to locate package nvidia-310 [05:06] hanslanda, if that doesn't work (it may be an xorg-edgers) - try sudo apt-get install nvidia-experimental-310 [05:07] Morpheaus, yeap [05:07] hanslanda: how did you install the drivers you are on right no [05:07] now* [05:07] Ben64, additional drivers option ...installed the recommended version [05:07] Ben64, but already unninstalled [05:08] so.. you don't have any driver now? [05:08] Ben64, yes...no drivers installed now [05:09] well thats not good [05:09] Ben64, Morpheaus Ive installed the experimental one...let me reboot the system and then i came back here..ok [05:09] * crosses-fingers [05:10] I really disliking breaking others systems...I hope that works... [05:10] disliking = dislike [05:10] Morpheaus, I agree lol [05:11] Can I install windows after xubuntu and still have a dual boot? [05:11] The biggest fear I have is that people can't get into the GUI and don't know what to do - so sad... [05:11] SecretFire: windows installation breaks the bootloader for linux, and you need to fix that afterwards [05:11] anyone know how to get 120hz refresh rate enabled in the display settings ? I just bought a 120hz screen, but display settings only shows 57hz max. [05:11] Ben64: how do I do that [05:11] SecretFire, I'd read up on this to start: https://help.ubuntu.com/community/RecoveringWindows [05:11] I have an nvidia card 8800gt, [05:12] SecretFire: https://help.ubuntu.com/community/Boot-Repair [05:12] Anom01y: you probably didn't get a 120hz screen [05:12] I know its a 120hz screen Ben64 [05:12] ok [05:12] Anom01y: thats a marketing thing [05:13] create an ntfs partition for window or just leave it unallocated? [05:13] windows* [05:13] anyways, http://reviews.cnet.com/lcd-monitors/samsung-syncmaster-2233rz/4505-3174_7-33499496.html [05:14] SecretAgent: its easier to install ubuntu after windows [05:14] Can anyone recommend me some irc channel about IT/Website Security ? Pleaseee [05:14] I read one post that said to go into nvidia-settings, and disable "force full gpu scaling" but I don't see that option anywhere [05:14] Can anyone recommend me some irc channel about IT/Website Security ? Pleaseee [05:15] Morpheaus, Ben64 i dont think it worked..im with the experimental version...but i run a game here and my fps was too bad [05:15] ##security [05:17] Ya, just like Xchat [05:17] hashashin, I'm not sure past that then...what game? [05:17] hanslanda: "lshw -C VIDEO" what does it say the driver is? === gratcy is now known as Guest43788 [05:18] Ben64, http://pastebin.com/uaC7vmsn [05:19] you're using the nvidia driver, success! [05:19] is it necessary to change default ssh port? for security concern [05:19] hanslanda, wooohooooooo [05:19] falcom, I would change it to something like 63845 [05:19] falcom, to avoid being scanned for regular ports [05:20] falcom, also disable root access [05:20] Ben64, so why with this one i get 60 fps on a game and with the nvidia-current i get 125 fps [05:20] falcom, and get something like denyhosts to automatically ban failed attempts to log into your box [05:20] Ben64, i think i have to install nvidia-current...and try to config xorg.conf ...but im not good on that [05:20] hanslanda: 60 fps sounds like it's properly syncing to your monitor's refresh rate. [05:20] NateJones: assume im behind router.. my router configuration should handle that? [05:20] hanslanda: 310 is a much better driver [05:21] falcom, you need to do some port forwarding on your router [05:21] bah - 319 or go home :) [05:21] hanslanda: Any more than that is waisted, and non-sync'd 125 fps will look less smooth than sync'd 60 fps. [05:21] total sarcasm of course [05:22] *** tried to solve my issue directly with #openvpn room but hahahaha they are not so friendly :( [05:22] 310 is where nvidia got awesomer for linux gaming. doubled performance in source engine games [05:22] Ben64, so i have to remove this one and install 310 [05:22] hanslanda: you already have 310 [05:22] hanslanda, no - you're at 310 [05:22] hanslanda: you have to tweak xorg.conf using nvidia x server settings [05:22] Ben64, experimental [05:22] experimental is 310 [05:23] she_dyed, can u help me on doing that [05:23] hanslanda: 60 FPS is perfect, don't try to "fix" something that isn't broken. [05:24] hanslanda, it should work properly... don't tweak your configs :) [05:24] only if you learn to look at xorg.0.log [05:24] if that has you crying home to mama send back your nvidia now [05:24] Jordan_U, 60 fps is perfect? my game supports 125 and on windows i play with 125 and with 60 its terrible to play... [05:24] hanslanda: What is your monitor's refresh rate? [05:24] if you're really concerned about performance, you shouldn't have gotten a gt 430 [05:24] hanslanda, vsync as Jordan_U stated [05:25] Ben64 if i had money... im sorry [05:26] Jordan_U, its 60 - 75hz ....now its set to 60 [05:26] what game is it? it's unlikely that you can notice a difference between 60fps and 400fps [05:26] Crysis! [05:26] Ben64, Urban Terror [05:26] hanslanda: Do you know what refresh rate means? [05:26] Jordan_U, not specifically [05:27] hanslanda: It's how fast your monitor changes the image on the screen. 60hz means that the picture is changing exactly 60 times per second. [05:28] hanslanda, try opening the "NVIDIA X Server Setings" which is on the Ubuntu menu - and try unchecking the "Sync to VBlank" setting on the OpenGL Settings tab [05:28] so I am trying to install bitlbee from source, and it was recomended I downloade this package from debian, recompile it, make a new .deb file and install that instead of trying to manage source installs by hand. (on ubuntu 12.04) which source file do I use though? [bitlbee_3.2-1.1.dsc] or [bitlbee_3.2.orig.tar.gz] ? http://packages.debian.org/sid/bitlbee [05:28] ok [05:29] Morpheaus, ok...ill do that [05:29] hanslanda: If you change your refresh rate to 75hz you'll probably notice that your game will run at 75 FPS, because it's creating a new frame for each "frame" that your monitor displays. [05:29] hanslanda, this is standard practice - on my borderlands 2 install I have dual 670's and sync to the monitor for 60 fps constant...works very well and all the other fps above 60 fps just cause clipping issues [05:29] not the dsc [05:29] hanslanda, I would just leave it if it were me, but if you're trying to just compare fps to make yourself "feel" better, this is where I'd start... [05:30] hanslanda, and if you're serious on gaming - I'm sorry but Windows is what I use and I have never been fully satisfied with linux performance - partly because nvidia doesn't have as good of drivers (i.e. PhysX) as the Windows installation [05:31] it's not because of Ubuntu - but because of driver support through nvidia - just to be specific as I don't want to start a flame war [05:31] Morpheaus, wow!!! after unchecking Sync to Vblanck now its 125 fps!!!! [05:31] Morpheaus, many thanks [05:31] hanslanda, np [05:31] have fun with images tearing :P [05:31] hi, i came here earlier regarding a problem with booting, Trying to get access to GRUB didn't work (shift/ESC did nothing). "try ubuntu" from the Dvd worked but then I wasn't sure what to do. After doing scandisk i got access to GRUB without prompting it but once there I had no idea how to proceed [05:31] hanslanda: That's *worse* than synchronised 60 FPS. [05:31] Ben64, yep... [05:32] anyone experienced with openvpn and ufw? [05:32] Morpheaus, Ben64 Jordan_U so there is no solution unless i buy a new video card [05:32] hanslanda, now that you've seen it works - just leave it checked - it'll make the image so much better when gaming in full screen - you want the video card to update the screen at the same rate that your monitor does - i.e. 60 fps = 60 Hz [05:33] hanslanda, even on a top end video card - you _still_ enable vsync === Elliott_ is now known as Guest1539 [05:33] theres no point having higher fps than the screen can do, it just ends up looking bad [05:33] hanslanda, so you can have the most uber powerful video card on earth - you want it to output at maximum that your monitor flashes the image at you [05:33] hanslanda: Solution to what? You haven't presented any actual problem. Everything is working as well as it possibly can, or at least it was until you disabled vsync. [05:33] Twenty-three, This a install of ubuntu from windows? [05:33] bros: http://ubuntuforums.org/showthread.php?t=1878303 is stale. How do I kill notify-osd it is driving me nuts [05:34] no that file does not exist it changed sometime between lucid and natty [05:34] jesusabdullah: check askubuntu.com yet? [05:34] wilee-nilee: yes, dual boot, [05:34] Twenty-three, click on "Advanced Options" and then select the "Recovery" kernel - it will present a screen after booting in which you can run a bunch of checks and fix the install - you will be using terminal commands though... [05:35] Ben64 what is tearing [05:35] hanslanda: http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Screen_tearing [05:35] dr_willis: It looks like you can facepunch it with a chmod +000, works for me [05:35] Twenty-three, Not a real dual boot, but a file in windows. So you see the boot to it from the windows boot loader? [05:35] Morpheaus, Jordan_U thanks [05:35] http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Screen_tearing hanslanda [05:35] Ben64, Morpheaus ... I admire your patience lol [05:36] dr_willis, thanks [05:36] hanslanda: You're welcome. [05:36] shit, that won't work either [05:36] yours too Jordan_U [05:36] NateJones, i admire you [05:36] NateJones, it's how we learn sometimes :) [05:36] NateJones, I have a 5 year-old - I deal with this _all day_ :) [05:36] hahahaha looking forward to have a kid myself lol [05:36] pappa - pappa- why why why how why why [05:37] best thing on earth - no questions asked [05:37] Morpheaus, I don't think it'd allow me to click on anythin, all I see is command line and I pressed TAB to see some commands, I couldn't quite figure what to do. I tried "boot" and it said kernel had not been specified [05:37] I bet! [05:37] oh thank heavens, found it [05:38] wilee-nilee, yes, that sounds more like it. i installed it from windows, yes [05:38] alright peace dudes, thanks dr_willis for the askubuntu suggestion which kinda-sorta put me on the right track [05:38] I already searched everywhere lol still not finding how to solve my issue with openvpn/ufw [05:39] Twenty-three, hrmm - you're getting past my experience now - with grub I have a list of options I can select - I would use the "Try Ubuntu" again and follow something like this: https://help.ubuntu.com/community/Boot-Repair [05:39] !grub2 | Twenty-three [05:39] Twenty-three: GRUB2 is the default Ubuntu boot manager. Lost GRUB after installing Windows? See https://help.ubuntu.com/community/RestoreGrub - For more information and troubleshooting for GRUB2 please refer to https://help.ubuntu.com/community/Grub2 [05:40] Twenty-three, So you would not bring grub up shift or esc that is in a partitioned install, nor will a live media fix it. You probably should use the ubuntu forum for fixing whatever the problem is, not many wubi users here knowing how to repair. On the forums though is a regular user. [05:40] Twenty-three, the "2nd option" describes the use of the LiveCD to fix it [05:40] why do I get a Debian themed grub? lol [05:40] I noticed that after some updates my grub shows Debian and looks way different than it was when I first installed ubuntu 12.04 [05:40] Twenty-three: Ahhh you are using wubi ignore the link I had ubottu send you. Sorry I just read the scroll back now. [05:41] histo, Morpheaus Twenty-three's install is a wubi. [05:41] ohhh [05:41] scandisk is a MS tool [05:41] I have no background on this one then... [05:42] Morpheaus, and do you have experience with openvpn and UFW? [05:42] Twenty-three, I'm late to the party but I would inform/remind that wubi is being dropped ... for good reason. Consider installing a true dual boot or virtualbox. [05:42] Twenty-three, Wubi has been discontinyed with the release scheduled in 3 weeks 13.04, so you may want to consider your options. [05:42] NateJones: Did you install the desktop-base package? [05:42] discontinued* [05:42] NateJones, no sorry - I saw your posts earlier but do not use either :( - wish I could help [05:43] wilee-nilee: I know [05:43] When I got to that GRUB command line it said it was 1.99 ... something else :/ [05:43] wilee-nilee, is 13.04 really scheduled for release in 3 weeks? [05:43] Twenty-three, You will not be repairing grub. [05:43] no worries Morpheaus.... yeah Jordan_U I installed the desktop-base but somehow I guess that probably it got updated from some repositories I added back then... but no worries it works good... I'm more concerned with my openvpn / ufw issue [05:43] ubottu, I installed ubuntu on a computer that had windows already [05:43] Twenty-three: I am only a bot, please don't think I'm intelligent :) [05:44] ok I need to make a change to my xorg.conf file, but I don't know if it is used anymore ? [05:44] Morpheaus, Doh I was thinking of 10.04 eol [05:44] same though I believe [05:44] NateJones: Look carefully at the description of desktop-base, it may not be what you expected from the name :) === jbermudes_ is now known as jbermudes [05:44] wilee-nilee, 10.04 destktop goes end of life on May 9. Server has 2 more years of support [05:45] cfhowlett, Yes I know. ;) [05:45] wilee-nilee, yep - you're right - April 25th for the release date - wow time files... [05:45] the metapackage you mean Jordan_U ? [05:46] is it possible to pay for updates/assistance for 10.04 after its support finishes in 10 days? [05:46] Twenty-three: How did you install Ubuntu? By booting from an Ubuntu LiveDVD/USB or by running an application in Windows (Wubi)? [05:46] Twenty-three, here is the wubi wiki, just so you have an orientation to what you have installed. https://wiki.ubuntu.com/WubiGuide [05:47] jordan_U: the latter [05:47] Twenty-three: Do you have important data in your Ubuntu install? [05:47] bbiab [05:47] rus end of life means exactly that. perhaps time to upgrade to 12.04? [05:48] jordan_U: I don't have any data that I don't have stored elsewhere, just set ups of plenty of packages for work that I don't really want to set up again [05:48] thanks cfhowlett. it's juz that my machine has a heart attack using 12.04. [05:48] Twenty-three: I highly recommend just doing a normal (non-Wubi) install of Ubuntu, you'll save time and headaches in the long run. [05:48] Rus, perhaps xubuntu or lubuntu 12.04 might not cause such issue. xubuntu is LTS with 12.04 ... [05:49] Rus, and both are optimized for older/lower spec machiens [05:49] *machines* [05:49] wilee-nilee: there was a factoid about migrating wubi but I can't find it atm. [05:49] Twenty-three: You can keep what's left of your broken Wubi install while using your new normal installation, assuming you have enough free space on the drive. [05:49] jordan_U: so, should I use the uninstall file in windows? [05:49] Wow. thanks for that cfhowlett. i'll download and try them. [05:49] histo, Twenty-three https://help.ubuntu.com/community/MigrateWubi [05:50] has to be working version though [05:50] Twenty-three: Yes, eventually you'll want to run the Wubi uninstaller within Windows. [05:50] I would do a fresh install as suggested [05:50] Rus, I'd suggest xubuntu as it's LTS and IMHO possibly more stable. It's also the foundation for UbuntuStudio ... [05:53] zimmerle: === _deXter_ is now known as [deXter] [05:53] cfhowlett: doesnt' studio have a real time kernel [05:55] wilee-nilee and Jordan_U, thanks, I'll try this when i get home in a couple of hours when i get home [05:55] How can I prevent Ubuntu from caching as much memory as it does? I don't have a lot of ram and it's using too much, having swap issues. [05:55] i may come back to pay you visit when i get stuck [05:55] histo, indeed ... a low latency RT kernel. [05:55] histo, needed for heavy duty sound/music recording ... not so much for other purposes [05:55] !swapiness [05:55] ttyl [05:55] I changed swapiness already but I mean, what it caches in general [05:56] changing the swapiness helped a lot, but it still caches too much and it makes it still sort of hit that limit when it needs to swap [05:56] MKCoin, How much ram do you have? [05:56] 3.6 GiB [05:57] MKCoin: If setting swappiness to 0 doesn't solve the problem then the problem isn't caching. [05:57] doesn't 0 prevent it from swapping entirely? [05:57] MKCoin: No it will still swap [05:57] MKCoin, hmm I run a 64 bit install with 3 gigs with no problems, but I' not a gamer or use much that is a problem. [05:58] MKCoin: swapoff will stop it from using swap at all [05:58] guake is so cool - love it [05:58] yeah, what I do periodically is turn of swap to sort of flush everything back into ram and then turn swap back on. I'll set swappiness lower, I guess [05:58] off* [05:58] MKCoin: With swappiness = 0 the kernel will evict all caches before resorting to using swap, but will still swap if needed to prevent an OOM condition. [05:59] May I ask a question? [05:59] !ask | bertthehost [05:59] bertthehost: Please don't ask to ask a question, simply ask the question (all on ONE line and in the channel, so that others can read and follow it easily). If anyone knows the answer they will most likely reply. :-) See also !patience [05:59] alright, that might work best for me. And I'm no gamer, I just use a lot of ram-intensive programs, often more than one instance at once, so it piles up quickly :p [06:00] Okay, so. I was wondering if anyone knows if I can connect to the servers on Mirc on this version of irc, seeing as ubuntu isnt compataible wit Mirc [06:00] !details|bertthehost, [06:00] bertthehost,: Please give us full details.

[06:00] bertthehost: Any IRC client can connect to any IRC server. [06:00] IRC is a protocol, you can use any client to connect to an IRC server, such as xchat or numerous others [06:01] bertthehost: mirc is just a client [06:01] mirc is shareware cost bones [06:01] okay thank you. thats all I needed to know [06:02] hello. lubuntu 12.04. I installed chrome with apt-get install google-chrome-stable and am having trouble installing flash. any help would be appreciated! thx [06:02] !flash|kewel, [06:02] kewel,: To install Flash see https://help.ubuntu.com/community/RestrictedFormats/Flash - See also !Restricted and !Gnash [06:03] kewel: You don't need to install flash separately from chrome (unless you want flash in another browser, like Firefox). Chrome has flash bundled in. [06:04] cfhowlett jordan_u: the plugin isn't working now, isn't in chrome:plugins, and I already have ubuntu-restricted-extras as well as lubuntu-restricted-extras as newest version [06:04] I got it working like two months ago and can't remember what I did .. then last night I did 189 updates and it went kaput. [06:05] shyea not cool. [06:05] ahh yes - mirc on Ubuntu - wine is so cool sometimes... [06:06] ok I lowered swapiness from 10 to 5, I'll come back if I still get issues [06:10] bbl [06:10] kewel, lubuntu AND ubuntu restricted extras? overkill. Try 1 or the other and add medibuntu ... unrelated to your question, I know :) [06:10] linux-image-3.2.0-39-generic-pae install [06:10] linux-image-3.2.0-40-generic install [06:10] linux-image-3.2.0-40-generic-pae [06:10] can i remove the 39 one? [06:11] meh ill remove itanyways if somebody thinks it wrong please do tell me === wathek_ is now known as wathek [06:19] if you have 40 why do u need 39 ?

I know kernel programming. But, dont know how to write drivers. [06:22] Frost_, ask in the ##linux or #linux channels? or perhaps ask Linus? :) [06:23] Frost_, this definitely is not the channel for that info - just ubuntu related support [06:24] Ok. thanks everyone! Thanks cfhowlett [06:24] Frost_, best of luck [06:25] Well, what questions can i ask here? About bugs and stuff? === lihang is now known as hustcalm [06:26] !details|Frost_, [06:26] ? [06:26] anyone here able to get the display of their screen to operate at 120HZ ? [06:26] http://forums.opensuse.org/english/get-technical-help-here/hardware/434017-users-120hz-lcd-display-nvidia-hardware-read-up.html [06:27] 120HZ, too high, normal is 60 bubby [06:27] my screen is 120hz and it works in windows, [06:27] maybe, you have a good screen then:) [06:28] this is ubuntu! If it works on ubuntu. Share with is [06:28] *US [06:28] there is a way to do it but there is no xorg.conf file anymore [06:32] what's the best irc client on ubuntu? been using xchat, just experimented with mirc on wine, just wondering if there are any other options... [06:33] ya so I just removed then installed google-chrome-stable and there's still no flash plugin included [06:34] Morpheaus: use Pidgin! [06:34] any reason why my mouse would quit working when using OpenGL. I'm trying to play counter strike but the mouse no longer works in the game. [06:34] !best|Morpheaus, please see the software center for options [06:34] Morpheaus, please see the software center for options: Usually, there is no single "best" application to perform a given task. It's up to you to choose, depending on your preferences, features you require, and other factors. Do NOT take polls in the channel. If you insist on getting people's opinions, ask BestBot in #ubuntu-bots. [06:34] pidgin? no. [06:34] Why? [06:35] best was not the right word - "options" I think is the right statement - in or not in software center as well... [06:35] ok I fixed my problem getting 120HZ [06:35] just looking for personal opinions :) [06:35] I'm using quassel - it comes with a nice server/client split and an Android client too :-) [06:35] easy solution, I used a "dual link" dvi cable, instead of a regular one [06:35] wow amazing difference 120hz compared to 60 [06:35] so I can use the same IRC "session" from phone and different PCs + I have full logs [06:36] just not while driving [06:36] greyhatpython: Most chat clients that are not dedicated IRC clients handle IRC very poorly. [06:37] I'm not a driver anyway :-) [06:37] ok poorly how? [06:37] it's not really an irc client, even the developers have said so. it lacks features and those features are then added back in with plugins and addons that make it more clumsy and insecure. [06:37] specially the ones that began as IM clients =) [06:38] ok which do you suggest now? [06:38] totally agree with Jordan_U - just looking for options - mirc was always my favorate - xchat left something to be designed - wine with mirc works, but I'd like to stick to something native...I used to be a heavy IRC user, but haven't been in some time now... [06:38] Xchat is Open Source? [06:38] yes, it is [06:38] developed no longer (bec i think it is stable) [06:38] irc clients could be a good topic for #ubuntu-offtopic , not really appropriate in here though [06:39] Ben64 - Understood - thx [06:39] just was slow in the channel - thought I'd put it out there :) [06:46] what is the keyboard shortcut to get into console? [06:47] buddd, crtl-alt-t [06:47] I updated the packages on friday but now I booted and my xorg does not function properly anymore. I have xinerama enabled and rotate a monitor but that does not function anymore. I use the LTS and nvidia current driver. anyone knows if this is a known issue and how to solve it? It has been working since day 1. [06:48] esperegu, guessing a kernel update got in there and scrambled things. reboot and choose an older version of ubuntu and see to test the theory. [06:48] cfhowlett: I tried removing the latest kernel but that made no difference === stephan_ is now known as stephanmg [06:48] wilee-nilee: I think i need to get to the console thing behind x, because i cant open any windowed programs, they disappear [06:49] esperegu, notice I did NOT advocate deleting the old kernel ... :) [06:50] buddd, ctrl-alt f1 [06:50] buddd: ctrl+alt+F1 (F7 to get back). [06:50] cfhowlett: I know. but I had already tested that [06:50] I'm having problems with gnome network-manager. Ubuntu 12.4 LTS running xubuntu-desktop. I did "sudo apt-get unistall network-manager", and just used ifup/ifdown, but now I'm in a place with an AP with a hidden ESSID, so I need to use network-manager. I tethered to my phone and did "sudo apt-get install network-manager" (which also installed network-manager-gnome). The network manager icon now shows up on my menubar, but I ca [06:50] get it to show any wireless networks. If I do right-click/edit connections, the networks are all there, but I can't seem to get network-manager to show them to me in such a fashion that I can say "connect to that network". [06:51] wilee-nilee: cool. now in there its already in a program (x), how do i get a command line? [06:51] buddd, I just know how to get there basically. [06:53] I left my computer and locked my screen for a few minutes, when I came back, it was a black screen. When I rebooted the system, it only reaches a black screen with a single _ in the upper left corner and then stops. [06:54] that sort of happened to me once, turns out it did some autoupdate install thing when i shut down, and whatever it installed ruined things so when i booted all i got was that single _ [06:54] Ah [06:54] that sounds about right [06:54] hello, did my question come through intact? [06:54] I was trying to fix the netflix app [06:55] the solution was some kinda thing that made me wanna kill myself and delete linux [06:55] ;) [06:55] So how did you fix it? [06:55] puff, yes it's here ... [06:55] cfhowlett: any more suggestions? [06:55] cfhowlett: Thanks. [06:55] What was said solution? [06:55] esperegu, ask in this channel. it's beyond me ...

It went past the GRUB loader and the Ubuntu loading screen and everything [06:56] buddd: that doesn't sound like my problem. It went well past GRUB. The single underscore is where the login screen should be [06:57] hi [06:57] newky: yeah could be something totally different than my problem i dont know [06:58] hey guys i did ctrl-alt-f1 to get into console, and now i want to run some commands there, but i cant because its showing it in the middle of running something else (i dont get a prompt), what do i do? === schmidtm_ is now known as schmidtm [06:59] you could use another tty [06:59] ctrl+alt+f2 [06:59] buddd ctl-Z [06:59] then type bg [07:00] to let it run in background [07:00] or Ctl-C to sod it [07:01] OKay, I tried to start recovery mode, but x won't even start. it just goes to a flashing cursor [07:02] Is there any free program that will allow me to burn an iso to both my dvd burners at the same time ? [07:02] I left my computer and locked my screen for a few minutes, when I came back, it was a black screen. When I rebooted the system, it only reaches a black screen with a single _ in the upper left corner and then stops. [07:02] kerry what for, to stress test the burners? [07:02] kerry, for windows? nearly all the apps as such ar e free [07:03] kerry, if you meant Ubuntu [07:03] no mate to make lots of copies of dvdsthat i have rights to , in a shorter time [07:04] kerry, you mean a dvd ripper [07:04] sorry pgm that runs in ubunru [07:04] oops ubuntu [07:04] you could get HW thats dedicated to that one simple task [07:05] bazhang: No, he means something like "I've made a video of myself skateboarding and I want to sell it to 100 people". [07:05] kerry, did you mean commercial dvds? or ones you had done yourself [07:05] my own dvds [07:06] kerry: If k3b/Brasero don't support it, then you can at the very least run multiple processes or xorriso or other terminal based burners, which (optionally) take a device as an argument. [07:06] coping comercial stuff is too much of a pain [07:06] Alright, I'm officially at a loss. I don't know what to do any more. [07:07] I cant find any way to do it in k3b or brasero [07:07] kerry: open two instances [07:08] My screen is completely black now. It doesn't even show the Ubuntu loading screen. Just goes black right after GRUB and stays there. Help? [07:08] I was hoping for something with a gui [07:08] k3b has a gui... [07:09] will two instances run without conflicting , ben [07:10] kerry: you could try and find out. [07:10] but it dont do multiple copies [07:10] i don't see why not, only problem is that your computer might not be able to push that much data out [07:10] Am I on mute or something? [07:10] newky: no [07:10] no newky [07:11] okay [07:11] sorry, I just had to make sure people could actually hear me [07:12] hey newky u could take out the HDD put it in an external hdd caddy and edit the conf files on annother computer [07:12] ........or something like that [07:12] unfortunately, the only other SATA PC I own is not available right now [07:12] is there no usb or dvd drive? [07:13] hey guys what are some dumb buzzwords? I'm trying to make a list [07:13] I was thinking of possibly using a boot CD [07:13] yeah no need to take the hdd out [07:13] !ot | htree [07:13] htree: #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! [07:13] actually, it does boot into a boot CD and I can access my hard drive filesystem from the CD [07:13] so yeah [07:13] there is a need to know what to do once you get in there with the live cd though heh [07:13] that may work run a live version of ubuntu from a disk [07:13] that's how I fixed my GUI when kde exploded, newky [07:13] I just need to know how ti find out what's wrong and how to fix it. Please, folks. [07:14] and edit the files therewith [07:14] yes, but I don't know enough Linux to know what the problem is. [07:15] it just goes to a black screen after GRUB [07:15] i'll see if i can find my old forum post [07:15] Earlier it would show an underscore, but it won't even do that anymore [07:15] do what the windows boys do, reinstall [07:15] can you reach a working tty? ctrl+alt+f1 [07:16] buddd: you said yours was something wrong with GRUB. [07:16] away: I tried that [07:16] ah [07:16] newky: load up livecd, check log files? [07:16] and I need the files on this computer. [07:16] sure, I'll put in the liveCD [07:16] newky, if you were updating and then hibernated or suspended, that could cause what you're seeing. EZ fix would be reinstallation. [07:17] :/ [07:17] newky, and this is NOT a wubi installation, is it? [07:17] No. [07:17] i always disable suspend/hibernate [07:17] cfhowlett: isnt there this thing you can do where you apt uninstall a recent thing that he installed that maybe caused this? [07:17] (shrug) [07:17] Installation was a bitch though. It's an EFI system [07:17] hi...this is giving me headaches.. when i copy a large file (2-4gb .mkv) into a usb stick, it stalls at the end, couple of minutes, more than the time it took to copy.. usb 3.0, running ubuntu 12.10... pleaaase help!

Not that I know of [07:18] bluebeat: thats because its copying still [07:18] newky, This a apple or window's computer? [07:19] wilee-nilee: it's a Windows 8 computer, originally. I erased Win8 [07:19] i have dual boot, in win i dont have this issue... i know it has to sync and do other things i dont know about, but its too much.. it stalls for a looong time [07:20] it just isnt normal [07:20] so the only solution is a reinstall? [07:20] newky, You might use the ubuntu forums, for daily helpers that are uefi savvy. [07:20] I need to recover my files then. My home folder is encrypted [07:20] newky: my noob recommendation is to uninstall that netflix thing [07:20] newky, not the only, but certainly the safest [07:20] bluebeat: it is normal. the file is being cached and that's the progress you're seeing, since the usb drive is much slower than the source [07:21] buddd: that doesn't really help me now. [07:21] why not? [07:21] newky: unless you really really need encryption, i would advise against it [07:21] theres a way to still do it.. i thought [07:21] so are my files just lost forever then? [07:21] newky: no [07:21] because I kind of sort of badly need some of them tomorrow [07:21] good. How do I recover them [07:22] newky: i dunno, i never use encryption [07:22] newky: this maybe? http://www.howtogeek.com/116297/how-to-recover-an-encrypted-home-directory-on-ubuntu/ [07:22] thanks [07:23] I probably would have found that sooner or later though. What I need to know now is if reinstallation is my ONLY OPTION [07:23] ben64, thx for the time, 3.0 port, 3.0 stick, in win it takes 30% of the time to do the same task, with the same file, in the same port, with the same stick... is that normal?

[07:32] thanks [07:32] get that after you get everything figured out [07:32] newky: you didn't lose your data [07:32] it says I need some kind of wrapped passphrase thing. I didn't do that one yet [07:33] that's the thing that pops up on your first run when you have an encrypted home, right? [07:33] I kept procrastinating on it [07:33] newky: the wrapped passphrase thing is the randomly generated password for your encrypted home directory [07:33] the paraphrase is same as your password [07:33] oh [07:33] so I don't need that? [07:34] use the command gksudo to open the mount the encrypted folder [07:34] wait, I think it just worked [07:34] greyhatpython: not necessarily. if newky changed his password from a root terminal his home passphrase will be different. [07:34] Yes it will [07:34] Does anyone know of any good out of box solutions for installing amd/nvidia opengl auto-detect for booting from external media?

[07:43] newky: you could always install Ubuntu inside Windows (wubi) or build a vm [07:43] I almost certainly will do that [07:44] personally i found wubi to be unstable and can lead to data corruption [07:44] esperegu, downgrade packages after the fact? [07:44] with vms i can burn it and push it out again [07:44] bazhang: yes [07:44] this is the first time I've done a major file transfer over USB3 [07:44] definitely feeling the speed increase [07:44] esperegu, you would be better off pinning before the fact. a downgrade is a seriously bad idea [07:45] I remember USB file transfers that would take days [07:45] newky, lets stay on topic please [07:45] I apologize [07:45] #ubuntu-offtopic for chit chat please [07:45] bazhang: It worked since the install till I upgraded last friday. that is just a sudo apt-get dist-upgrade. it installed a new kernel and maybe nvidia driver. now the xorg that worked for a year does not work anymore [07:46] newky: are u experiencing a freeze at the end of your transfers on ur 3.0 port? [07:47] esperegu: how does it not work [07:47] Ben64: the screens do not get rotated anymore [07:48] Ben64: I think that xinerama and xrandr are in each others way or something like that [07:48] Ben64: but as said thats since friday it worked for a year [07:48] give more details and someone might be able to help you [07:48] ben64: any suggestion to the problem im having?

[07:53] esperegu: but that doesn't sound related to your issue [07:53] Morpheaus: I think it is. I think xrandr is messing up [07:54] Morpheaus: I think before it was disabled and now still wants to be in the game [07:54] esperegu: Well - if you think that's it - the person downgraded the package using synaptic (sudo apt-get install synaptic) and then used the Package --> Force Version to select a different version prior to the updates [07:55] esperegu: You can use this methodology for all your updates that applied (xorg had a bunch of updates as well) - you can see the list of updates in the Software Center and click on the "History" [07:55] esperegu: this may help you track the package that caused the issue and revert as needed - the other person reverted the libxandr and libxandr2 updates (iirc) - this may or may not be your issue - you can then at least revert other packages as needed... [07:55] Morpheaus: http://dpaste.com/1058833/ [07:56] Morpheaus: see below that it first saids that it is probl disabled but later that it is enabled [07:56] Morpheaus: gonna check that history [07:56] Morpheaus: never used it. only commandline ;-) [07:56] esperegu: you may want to check this as well (disable xinerama): http://askubuntu.com/questions/14780/how-can-i-disable-xinerama [07:57] Morpheaus: but I need xinerama for multiple displays? [07:58] esperegu: I believe so - you may want to test with this just to see (firstly) to address the issue - then possibly revert xorg-common and xorg-xxx-core (something like that) to a prior package that you know worked... [07:59] esperegu: The point is to identify the exact reason - and removing Xinerama temporarily may help you find a RandR vs. Xinerama issue and then you can revert packages to see what's up... [08:06] esperegu: and...? [08:07] esperegu: note - it does sound like xrandr can do multiple monitors - if you google xrandr multiple monitor setup, you'll see many people disable Xinerama for multiple monitor support on the current versions of Ubuntu...

[11:06] maximiliano: advisable, if you use hibernate it shifts the ram and stuff off to swap to be able to power down [11:07] if i changed my mind later on, can i undo this swap or is this space permanently allocated? [11:07] maximiliano: well its just a partition on the drive [11:08] noted [11:08] maximiliano: but does 10GB really matter with the price of storage these days? [11:08] not really [11:09] i don't think this swap has been set up yet and by going through the procedure for wubi migration it doesn't seem like i can allocate the space that will be in the swap [11:10] oh well, i'll give it a go with the swap [11:11] thanks a lot for your time xzcvczx [11:11] ttyl [11:11] o/ is was wondering...is there an ebook that goes through the whole of linux? like what its file directories do? the history of its kernels.

[11:48] and thanks to the rest too of course [11:48] yup [11:48] had to switch [11:48] kung-lao: cool, yeah i just wanted to check the lsusb output to make sure that it was actually initing as an audio device [11:48] xcasex, I'm slow typer..didn't see the college refernce until after I posted , but I'm sure he got your message [11:49] out of curiosity guys, what is the incentive to volunteer for help when you may get the occasional ungrateful and/or rude person?

[12:00] esperegu: right click the speaker icon [12:00] esperegu: You could use JACK to connect the interfaces. [12:00] xzcvczx: but line-in only plays over analog out [12:00] vlt: I enabled line-in in alsamixer [12:00] esperegu: ah you may need to use jack then [12:00] esperegu: Or alsaloop [12:01] is it not possible by default on the soundcard? [12:01] esperegu: Depends on the soundcard [12:01] esperegu: Some cards can route onboard, others can’t. [12:02] vlt: hmm. its a default onboard one.

[12:19] upgrading from which version? [12:19] raring prerelease [12:19] to raring final [12:19] it's out IIRC [12:19] or isn't it? [12:19] nope [12:19] nyuszika7h: 25th or so [12:19] nope, support until release in #ubuntu+1 [12:19] oh [12:20] then not surprised about so much updates :P [12:20] Ben64 remember me? :p [12:20] same old amd problem :( [12:20] is ubuntu 13.04 any better? [12:20] leolove, pci cards usually need to be made default in the bios after installing [12:20] i got old laptop, i dont want high cpu consumption [12:21] BluesKaj its laptop [12:21] leolove, dual gpus ? [12:21] ahoy: how old is the laptop? [12:21] yes [12:21] ahoy - consider lubuntu? [12:22] it is old.. [12:22] BluesKaj I did amdconfig --initial --adapter=all --input=/etc/X11/xorg.conf [12:22] 2dual core [12:22] i got lubuntu :) [12:22] amdconfig --pxl shows my discrete gpu, but amdconfig --list-adapters shows my integrated gpu as default :( [12:22] ahoy: 2 real cores or HT? [12:22] leolove, there are workarounds for nvidia/intel dual gopus , but ati , not so much [12:23] dual core intel, 1.8ghz [12:23] that's old? [12:23] BluesKaj still people have successfully using it. I dont know why I have tearing :( [12:23] slinnky++ [12:23] ahoy: how much ram? [12:23] 4GB, but only 3.20GB available [12:24] dude you should be running kubuntu on that [12:24] and mining bitcoins while you work [12:24] heh [12:24] <|nv|s|b|e> bitcoin crashed [12:24] true story 32bit dual core 1.8 ghz is fine [12:24] ahoy: well you could run 64-bit for a bit more ram, but ubuntu will be fine on that laptop [12:25] hm [12:25] i wouldn't worry about it too much [12:26] Hey, does anybody know how to get rid of all the ubuntuone b.s. in 13.04 ? I already removed unity-lens-shopping or whatever that's called... [12:26] slinnky: #ubuntu+1 [12:26] slinnky: do you want to remove ubuntuone or unity? [12:26] Nmbr1, just ubuntuone [12:27] I'll remove unity when gnome-shell from gnome3-team/gnome3 ppa works :) [12:27] hi, is there a way to restore Windows XP's NTLDR without XP's installation CD? [12:27] slinnky: is there not a gnome shell spin of ubuntu now? [12:27] s/hi,// I was here already a bit ago :P [12:27] nyuszika7h: you should ask ##windows [12:27] nyuszika7h: Probably best asking that in ##windows [12:27] ah, good idea [12:27] xzcvczx, uh, you mean like a gubuntu ? nah [12:28] I should've gone for openSUSE, it saves the boot sector and lets you restore it from YaST :P [12:28] slinnky: i generally just don't use ubuntuone [12:28] err, another question then [12:28] xzcvczx, it doesn't really need one..... unity and gnome-shell run fine next to each other (unity is just a shell on top of gnome) [12:28] how can I access the GRUB menu if the timeout is set to 0? [12:28] there is an UbuntuGnome [12:28] wtf, screen went black while upgrading [12:28] leolove, you could try disablibg the onboard gpu in the bios in favour of the discrete one but that's chancy if they are tied by load detection . That's all i can suggest . [12:28] oh, just turned off because idle [12:28] nyuszika7h: mash the shift button [12:28] Ben64: ok, thanks [12:29] great job ubuntu [12:29] the update manager locked the dpkg status database while I was upgrading from the CLI [12:29] BluesKaj No option in bius. [12:30] leolove, ok [12:30] nyuszika7h: yep dpkg is locked when you run synaptic, apt-get, etc. [12:30] BluesKaj I think they are running in crossfire. [12:30] nyuszika7h: one at a time [12:30] yes, I know, but I didn't run anything myself [12:31] the update manager decided to randomly lock it in the middle of the upgrade process of aptitude (I guess it was not using it) [12:31] The application Software Updater has closed unexceptedly. [12:32] ಠ_ಠ [12:32] I guess my fault for using raring [12:32] how can i install new themes? i'm using gnome 3 vanilla without all of the ubuntu stuff [12:32] nyuszika7h: i would clean the update cache, apt-get update and then apt-get dist-upgrade [12:33] leave the GUI out of it and see if it works this time [12:33] i see available themes in gnome-tweak-tool, but i want new themes [12:33] stupid question, how do I clean the update cache? [12:34] nyuszika7h: apt-get clean [12:34] oh, thanks [12:34] nyuszika7h: np [12:36] how do i make openshot add large files without waiting a good 5minutes?

How can I find out why my Alt or Ctrl key don’t work anymore after having them pressed several seconds. [12:44] BluesKaj: You don't need sudo to operate apt-cache [12:44] Lartza: dpkg -l keyword or dpkg -l | grep BRE [12:44] Lartza: Or, well, dpkg -l | grep -P PCRE [12:44] lots of lag today.... [12:45] 118ms here ActionPa1snip [12:45] yeah just dropped and came back, see if its better [12:47] Amazon and Ubuntu One Music links on the sidebar... they don't disappear if I remove everything related to them? [12:47] ActionPa1snip, how much were you lagging ? [12:47] Not sure if I did remove everything... [12:47] Lartza: The launcher icons don't dissapear automatically, you've to unpin them manually [12:47] Lartza: Make sure the apps are removed by opening the Dash and searching for the stuff you removed [12:49] BluesKaj: 80ms and increasing [12:50] Lartza: also right click the item and unpin, then close the app and it will go [12:50] 80ms isn't too bad ActionPa1snip ...I regularly run at 120 or so here [12:50] when i bootk ubuntu into recovery mode, which runlevel is used? === Xiol_ is now known as Xiol [12:51] hi again [12:51] pagios: 5, if it is a graphical environment [12:51] seriously openshot is extremely poor video editor is there anything better than this inferior video editor? [12:51] IRC lagging? [12:51] Or what is [12:52] supertough: www.cyberciti.biz/faq/top5-linux-video-editing-system-software/ [12:52] so recovery mode runlevel is the same as booting normally, how can i distinguish if connecting remotely to the box, if recovery mode is being used or normal mode? [12:52] supertough: also look into lightworks, its used in Oscar winning feature films [12:53] pagios: env may output something different (maybe) [12:53] Lartza, I gues ActionPa1snip is used to less lag than he has atm , must be close to his server , i'm using abouncer so the lag is very consistent at 120ms [12:54] morning [12:54] ActionPa1snip: are you sure? [12:55] BluesKaj, 120ms is a lot :O not that it matters for IRC [12:55] I have 65ms to my bouncer and under 1ms from the bouncer to IRC [12:55] Lartza, yeah , but not noticeable [12:56] pagios: its free to try..... [12:56] Yeah it doesn't matter for many tasks [12:56] 120ms works even on some action games [12:56] lol [12:56] BluesKaj: never had lag before, looked weird, reconnected and now it's ok [12:56] I was wondering if it's possible to regenerate the sources.list [12:56] I removed it earlier [12:56] is it just me or are there lots of people joined quite suddenly === DarkAce-Z is now known as DarkAceZ [12:57] DarkAce-Z, you may have had a split on your server [12:58] nono [12:58] well, whatever [12:58] DarkAceZ, your server is disconnecting and reconnecting [12:59] no, that's not it [12:59] hello! [12:59] sevenforall: I can give you mine if you wish [12:59] just one of those things [12:59] Man - I will say 13.04 is snappy [12:59] anyone can help me? i'm looking for a manual fan control on ubuntu [12:59] slinnky: its also offtopic here til release day [12:59] cyberpork: why not just let the kernel do it? [13:00] What packages are Amazon and One Music in? [13:00] oh ffs [13:00] i want to decide the fan speed manually cause is an old pc [13:00] and it make noise [13:00] Lartza, haha apt-get remove unity-lens-shopping [13:00] that's one [13:01] Is anyone having any luck with nvidia-bugs? [13:01] slinnky: it clearly states in the channel MOTD [13:01] slinnky, I don't have that yet they show in Applications [13:01] Lartza, oh good you don't want that [13:01] slinnky: please ask in #ubuntu+1 [13:01] Lartza: http://askubuntu.com/questions/192269/how-can-i-remove-amazon-search-results-from-the-dash [13:01] ActionPa1snip, shut up I'm not asking a question ;) [13:02] slinnky: fine, but please honour the channel policies [13:02] ActionPa1snip, my pc make too much noise in idle [13:02] cyberpork: tried a lighter desktop? [13:02] ffs [13:02] ActionPa1snip, Oh relog, gotcha! [13:02] I'll do even better, reboot ;) [13:03] ActionPa1snip, it's only a problem of noise [13:04] cyberpork: if the CPU has to work overtime to cool because of heavy desktop then switching to a lighter desktop will mean it has to work less and can run cooler [13:04] ActionPa1snip, i've tried also lxde but the problem is still the same [13:04] ActionPa1snip, My GPU makes horrible noise on stock fan graphs without any load, noise is not sometimes associated with work :) [13:04] cyberpork: ok that's the reply I was after === ppcecho is now known as ppcoco [13:04] cyberpork: have you cleaned the fans out and added some lubrication [13:05] ActionPa1snip, i use ubuntu 10.04 on an old pentium 4 , the pc is clean and the temps are low [13:05] cyberpork: maybe a new fan is needed if maintenance does nothing [13:05] clean out the dust if your start hearing noises coming from your fan. [13:05] if you don't clean out them dust it will kill your system components over time if your system doesn't dissipate them heat out. [13:05] the fan is ok but it work on 6000 rpm [13:05] cyberpork: then I'd look into cleaning, Lucid is EOL in 2 weeks (ish), you may want to upgrade soon [13:05] oh ffs [13:05] cyberpork: does the system have a make and model? [13:06] cyberpork, lm-sensors and for instance, fancontrol [13:06] cyberpork, if all else fails, https://launchpad.net/ubuntu/precise/+package/fancontrol [13:06] the lm-sensors, pwmconfig and fancontrol doesn't wors [13:06] works* [13:06] cyberpork: does the system have a make and model? [13:06] cyberpork, Have you been able to control the fan somehow? [13:07] on windows with speedfan [13:07] lm-sensors and pwmconfig need configuring iirc [13:07] cyberpork, Okay was just thinking there are some boards that just won't let you control fans :) [13:07] ActionPa1snip: when i choose recovery, drop into a shell i am prompted for a root password [13:07] and i lost it [13:07] how can i recover my system [13:07] pagios: this is why you shouldn't set root password [13:08] pagios: but you seem to know better [13:08] so how can i recover now? [13:08] pagios: it is not advised or supported, sudo gives you all the access you can ever need [13:08] pagios: why did you enable root? [13:08] for shortcuts... [13:08] was lazy to wrtie sudo everytime :P [13:08] lolwut [13:08] pagios: You can use "sudo -i" [13:09] anyways is there a way to recover now? [13:09] sorry but it isn't a way to use speedfan under ubuntu? [13:09] pagios: you can configure your OS easily to use sudo etc and you do not need to enable the root password at all [13:09] pagios: Do you have a LiveCD? [13:09] pagios, I'm with you man... ubuntu is stable enough to run in root instead of user for day to day shit [13:09] yep [13:09] pagios: what is the output of: cat /etc/issue [13:09] pagios: when you get fixed, do everybody a favour and DONT use root passwords. Makes life a lot easier [13:09] i dont have access to the system how do you want me to issue a cat :) [13:09] pagios: how can you work on the system without any access? [13:10] ActionPa1snip: i am trying to recover the system [13:10] by booting into recovery mode [13:10] lm-sensor found 1 sensor, like is it in the BIOS but i can configure pwmconfig [13:10] but it is asaking for the root password :) [13:10] pagios: you can boot to the liveCD, then chroot [13:10] pagios: don't set root passwords again, ok [13:10] I'm apt-ignorant, how do I remove a package with all of it's dependencies? [13:10] pagios: Boot off installation media, mount the / filesystem, chroot into it, and change the password. [13:10] pagios: Boot it, then chroot to your main install and lock the root account again: passwd -dl root. The recovery will then work as normal. [13:11] Dark_light: apt-get remove package [13:11] Dark_light: APT won't allow unsatisfied dependencies, so that's automatic [13:11] pagios: omgubuntu has a nice guide called 'sticking it to grub', instead of manipulating grub after the chroot, you can set your user password and log in, then lock root down like it is supposed to be [13:12] theadmin: your method does not require changing the root password i understand? [13:12] theadmin: that didn't do the trick, eg I installed freetuxtv which installed vlc as a dep but did not remove it [13:12] Hmpf, seems like I shouldn't have removed sources.list [13:12] (and it's libraries obviously) [13:12] Dark_light: Ah, that's not what I thought you meant. [13:12] Dark_light: sudo apt-get autoremove package [13:13] theadmin: still no luck :-\ [13:13] How do I install testparam? [13:13] Why are linux-image-generic an linux-headers-generic being kept back? [13:13] thanks for the support i've understand that i can't do what i want on ubuntu [13:13] I've sudo apt-get install samba, but when I try to run testparam on /etc/samba/smb.conf, it returns that testparam isn't a command. [13:13] !info testparam [13:13] Package testparam does not exist in quantal [13:14] !find testparam [13:14] I thought testparam was bundled with the Samba package? [13:14] Package/file testparam does not exist in quantal [13:14] Lartza: because you are likely using sudo apt-get upgrade, you need to use dist-upgrade. [13:14] !dist-upgrade | Lartza [13:14] Lartza: A dist-upgrade will install new dependencies for packages already installed and may remove packages if they are no longer needed. This will not bring you to a new release of Ubuntu, see !upgrade if that is your intention. [13:14] CorySimmons: not testparm [13:14] CorySimmons: It's "testparm". [13:15] Pici, Oh yeah, I don't use Ubuntu that much nowadays and dist-upgrade used to be for release upgrades only iirc ;) [13:15] Thanks [13:17] Lartza: That never was for release upgrades, not in Ubuntu anyway [13:18] does apton cd work for all installed packages? [13:18] theadmin, Ahh yeah :P Brain is not running that well today [13:19] i want to copy all ROS packages to a CD/flash [13:20] Why does not Ubuntu handle removing old kernels, or does it? How? [13:20] #ubuntu+1 [13:20] oops [13:21] Lartza, removing kernels is not something to be done automagically ... [13:21] yeah you need the kernel [13:21] cfhowlett, I've never had problems with Arch where I had multiple kernels in /boot [13:22] Lartza, and the majority of the time, ubuntu has no such problems either. [13:22] cfhowlett, So why do I have two kernel versions in /boot now? [13:22] Major update or something? [13:23] Lartza, because the old one will remain until you delete .. .which you should NOT do. Always maintain at least one old kernel in case a new one frugs your system [13:23] Lartza, kernel updates are a common fact. usually painless ... but not always [13:24] Shouldn't the packages be tested to not frug up? ;) But yeah, thanks for the explanation. Didn't think of it that way [13:24] Lartza: That's just how Ubuntu handles it. In Arch, a kernel upgrade is an upgrade to the "linux" package, no more. In Ubuntu, linux-image-* packages are metapackages. When they upgrade, their dependencies change, but the old ones don't get removed -- this is for protection against breakage. [13:25] theadmin, did you just say what I was thinking, only smarter and more sensible? [13:25] theadmin, Luckily I've never had a messed up kernel update, only some self compiled kernels ;) [13:26] cfhowlett: Maybe [13:27] one can always remove 'old kernels ' manually if desired and nothing wiill break IME [13:27] Sorry, Pidgin froze. Did anyone answer my question? :*( [13:28] BluesKaj, There's always first time ;) [13:28] *There's a first time for everything [13:28] I like how brain slows down when you are sick... not [13:28] I am using psensor to monitor the sensory data of my PC. However, as often, I only get a very minimal list, while I sometimes get a far more informative list that includes case temps and fan speeds. Any idea why this tends to differ, and how I add the other sensors? [13:29] Lartza, there's afirst time for everything , but I haven't seen that happen yet . I always keep the one older kernel [13:29] sevenforall: Run sensors-detect, that helps usually [13:29] I did that once already [13:29] I honestly don't know where to answer yes/no, hehe [13:30] is there a command line tool for extracting the content of iso images (without mounting)?

[13:43] john_doe_jr: watch out for spaces in file names.. [13:44] john_doe_jr: "*.mp4" will help, methinks [13:44] dr_willis: well I have to rename all the files with spaces [13:44] john_doe_jr: thats a common issue with such tasks. also i tend to use find to generate/print out the commands to do the move/renameing - so i can then see what its doing. [13:44] john_doe_jr: Take it in quotes [13:44] john_doe_jr: with spaces in file names.. its the quoteing thats often the issue [13:44] john_doe_jr: Also you *might* need to replace - with \- (escape it) in your regex. I can't remember if it's a special or not [13:44] BluesKaj: I believe so [13:45] theres dozens of scripts/ecamples out there online about removeing spaces from filenames [13:45] dr_willis: where? [13:45] BluesKaj: /dev/sda [13:45] john_doe_jr: online as in 1000+ hits on googling for 'convert spaces in filename' [13:45] I know I'm close [13:45] dr_willis: alright googled [13:45] *already googled [13:45] JuJuBee, yeah that's usually the correct choice [13:46] john_doe_jr: i just saw like 12+ differnt bash ways to do this task [13:46] BluesKaj: so EFI is on for the hd [13:46] rename "s/ /_/g" * [13:46] dr_willis: well what is the best way?

I am trying to get a script to run on my computer when someone connects to the system via ssh/telnet. How can this be done? [13:47] jrib: doesn't print out anything [13:48] jrib: ? i never said stalls [13:48] john_doe_jr: i tend to use the 'qmv' command from the renameutils package. [13:48] When I boot laptop it boots directly to ubuntu [13:48] JuJuBee, what does sudo fdisk -l show ? [13:48] john_doe_jr: you get a new prompt? [13:48] jrib: nope just black [13:49] could be its working.. and taking time [13:49] BluesKaj: a message about GPT and only 1 partition?... should be many partitions... [13:49] I think it has something to do with missing the \; @ the end of the find command [13:49] john_doe_jr: so then you should figure out if it actually is working but taking a long time and if it's not, then you should determine if your issue is with the find command or with the rename part of your command. [13:50] Can someone help me out. I am trying to get a script to run on my computer when someone connects to the system via ssh/telnet. How can this be done? [13:50] john_doe_jr: yes, your syntax is not correct [13:50] jrib: this is what I have now: find . -type f -name "*avi.mp4" -exec rename -n "s/ /-/" *.mp4 \; [13:50] kolaracdn: a script that does what? [13:50] JuJuBee, yeah , windows usually has 3 , and linux depends on how many you created foor it [13:50] jrib: the -n is just to test the output [13:50] john_doe_jr: i mean it's probably doing something. But it's not what you want to do exactly. Read your rename command. What does your rename command do in words? [13:51] it makes the system beep to let people know that it is being remote into [13:51] john_doe_jr: for example, you might try putting "echo " before "rename" and see what happens [13:51] i have the script i just need it to run when people console in [13:51] kolaracdn: you could put the command in the bash init scripts in /etc/ [13:52] jrib: I tried that but it just echos the command rename -n s/ /-/ *.mp4 [13:52] will it run when people ssh into it? [13:52] kolaracdn: if they are using bash it should.. [13:52] I have two monitors connected to my 7300 GT video card, but the DVI monitor can suddenly only work at 800x600, and it appears as an undefined monitor. anyone an idea how to fix? [13:52] john_doe_jr: is that what you want to happen? [13:52] will it do it locally? [13:53] kolaracdn: try it and see.. i imagine so. the fact they are sshing in or not - dosent matter to the system [13:53] jrib: well I want the output of the find command to rename each file === rajesh is now known as Guest90734 [13:53] ok what is the directory [13:53] kolaracdn: add it in ~/.bashrc and it will run [13:53] john_doe_jr: yes, so what's the syntax for find's -exec switch? [13:53] kolaracdn: theres numerous bash init scripts in /etc/ [13:53] rein: tried using nvidia-settings app? [13:54] Is "Ubuntu Certified Professional" ( http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Ubuntu_Certified_Professional ) certification discontinued? All the links on ubuntu.com seem to be dead. [13:54] jrib: I found this @ https://help.ubuntu.com/community/find [13:54] imgx64, yes discontinued. see lpci 1 or 2 [13:54] Hello there. I just installed a windows game on ubuntu through wine. I played it for some time. Now after exiting the game i have noticed that my screen resolution has changed and text and windows has become bigger. What should i do? [13:55] wwwdotcom: you can use xrandr to set it back, or log off [13:55] john_doe_jr: right now it's saying "*.mp4" and you would rather have the filename there. I don't see your command on that page. Check find's actual documentation. Run "man find", then press "/", type out "-exec" and hit enter. You then use n and N to cycle occurrences of "-exec" in the man page [13:55] jrib: well I did a man find and don't see a syntax for the -exec command in find [13:55] who can speak chinese [13:55] !zh | tcstory [13:55] tcstory: 如欲獲得中文的協助，請輸入 /join #ubuntu-cn 或 /join #ubuntu-tw [13:55] john_doe_jr: did you do what I said to search the man page? [13:56] jrib: yes [13:56] john_doe_jr: and you didn't find any results for "-exec"? [13:56] .. [13:56] it didn't work it runs when i open a terminal [13:56] cfhowlett: Ok, thanks. [13:56] jrib: yes I see an entry for -executable in the man find pages [13:57] http://www.softpanorama.info/Tools/Find/using_exec_option_and_xargs_in_find.shtml [13:57] john_doe_jr: and so you pressed "n" to cycle to the next occurrence of -exec and what did you see? [13:57] ActionPa1snip: I did that. I also tried through Preferences> Monitors to change my screen resolution to 1024x768 which i guess was my previous resolution. But still text is some what bigger and some icons on desktop are hidden behind below taskbar. [13:57] jrib: I'm missing {}  species the current file [13:58] john_doe_jr: yes. You can see examples in the man page. There's also an example in the page you linked (though not with rename) [13:58] JuJuBee, sudo grub-install /dev/sda , then sudo update grub [13:58] ActionPa1snip: yes, but I cant set a higher resolution than 800x600 [13:58] wwwdotcom, try changing your themes to trip the display configurations [13:58] john_doe_jr: also, your regex is not exactly what you want. Currently, your regex will only replace the first space. You want either 'y/ /-/' or 's/ /-/g' [13:58] Does gedit not have any settings? :/ [13:59] ok let me try [13:59] jrib: there is only one space in each file [13:59] john_doe_jr: ok [14:00] Always test find command containing exec by using -ls instead of -exec to see if the files selected are the files you wish to process. This is especially important if the exec option contains rm command or some other destructive command. [14:00] Oh righttt... the stupid topbar :P [14:00] jrib: so this is what I want right: find . -type f -name "*avi.mp4" -exec echo rename -n "s/ /-/" *.mp4 {} \; [14:00] ActionPa1snip: It does recognize the VGA monitor correctly, but now suddenly the DVI monitor is not recognized. is there a way to force it to a higher resolution? [14:00] john_doe_jr: try it and see (no that is still not exactly right) [14:01] BluesKaj: huh? [14:02] jrib: the -n option to rename just shows me what will happen but I don't know what's wrong with it but I appreciate the help [14:02] xcasex, huh? what ? [14:02] john_doe_jr: you probably need '' around your braces (so you should have '{}') and the "*.mp4" is not doing anything for your rename command [14:02] cfhowlett: I did that and it didn't work. One thing i want to let you know is after exiting the game my screen resolution changed to 800x600 i guess. Then i typed xrandr --output VGA1 --mode 1024x768 in terminal to revert it back. [14:03] Is this ok? === Yottacoin is now known as Yottacoins [14:03] BluesKaj: you wrote me yesterday about some college reference? i dont follow.. [14:03] Is there something that i can do to restore xrandr settings back before playing the game? === rajesh is now known as Guest25296 [14:05] xcasex, that was yesterday , can you remind me , a lot has happened since then [14:05] jrib: alright like so: find . -type f -name "*avi.mp4" -exec echo rename -n "s/ /-/" *.mp4 "{}" \; [14:05] john_doe_jr: you probably need '' around your braces (so you should have '{}') and the "*.mp4" is not doing anything for your rename command [14:05] BluesKaj: i could if i had enough of a backlog but i dont :) [14:05] BluesKaj: and the only thing ive mentioned in here before that was an issue relating to my isight webcam on my imac. ;) [14:06] xcasex, was it a netwoking issue ? [14:06] seems if ubuntu doesn't boot all the way (either locks up or a reboot in the middle), on the second boot it just sits at the grub screen and there is no countdown to choose a selection, it waits for a manual selection, is there a way to make it always automatically choose a selection with a countdown? [14:07] or at least have it try a couple times [14:07] In Preferences > Monitors, system is showing "Viewsonic Corporation" monitor having 1024x768 resolution. I don't know why after setting that resolution in xrandr, my text is still bigger :/ === dstevens is now known as megacoin [14:08] jrib: Alright so like so: find . -type f -name "*avi.mp4" -exec echo rename -n "s/ /-/" "{}" *.mp4 \; [14:08] john_doe_jr: you keep telling me the same command without the changes made [14:08] xcasex, hmm, odd I don't recall responding to a webcam query ...doubt that I would have since I have no idea about them , unless i autocompleted the wrong nick , that happens sometimes . [14:08] had an issue this weekend where I am guessing the machine reboot and since it is part of an HA cluster with fencing, the fencing saw it go down and tried to reboot it so it apparently reboot in the middle of its reboot and then the second reboot just sat at the grub screen [14:09] BluesKaj: got it, ran the boot repair and it corrected [14:09] john_doe_jr: you probably need '', NOT "", around your braces (so you should have '{}') and the "*.mp4" is not doing anything for your rename command SO DELETE the "*.mp4" [14:09] JuJuBee, you're lucky , bootrepair doesn't always work [14:10] thats a secret ssshh [14:10] jrib: First of all I really appreciate the help I notice that you have '{}') but what is with the parenthesis [14:11] john_doe_jr: the parentheses are punctuation for my english, not part of the command [14:11] Any other tweak that i can do with xrandr? === mandel|lunch is now known as mandel [14:11] wwwdotcom: but it didn't affect fontsize? [14:18] It didn't [14:18] wwwdotcom: you can put it back to original resolution then [14:20] Any change that i make to system using xrandr, isn't it temporary and after restarting my system shouln't it revert back to normal? [14:20] yes, but people add the command to their autostart scripts [14:20] the ones that fix it though (it's more like a patch) [14:21] may have to look elsewhere for the fix [14:22] wwwdotcom: wine is a weird creature [14:22] wwwdotcom: once you find the xrandr command, you can make a script to run the game, then after it finishes, run the xrandr command [14:23] ActionPa1snip: A weird creature? You know there is a lion-tamer for it right? [14:24] One thing i would like to share is that the game didn't ended neatly. I killed that creature with sudo kill xxxx :) [14:25] I think that's why his spirit is haunting me back [14:25] wwwdotcom: You would be right === bsmith is now known as aidanna [14:25] SonikkuAmerica: xrandr after running is all I can advise === axl__ is now known as axl_ [14:25] wwwdotcom: probably a reason why. I'd just log off and on [14:26] ActionPa1snip: Not that you're wrong or anything... just a weird way to describe Wine. [14:26] other than inbread child [14:26] inbred8 [14:26] pffft phail [14:27] Ahh, we're getting !ot. Back to the show. [14:28] yeah where are the offtopic sitters now ? [14:28] in -offtopic I hope [14:28] Logging on and off multiple times doesn't seen to work too. [14:28] permanent? uh oh [14:28] btw look at this xrandr output and see if something is wrong, http://paste.ubuntu.com/5710474/ [14:29] Looks fine to me, but why would any sane person want 848x480? [14:29] SonikkuAmerica: its a common phrase in my experience [14:30] or 1024, was it ever higher? [14:30] I can't get higher than 1024 on this machien [14:30] *machine [14:31] ok [14:31] I don't think that it was higher than 1024x768 [14:31] yay, i guess [14:32] wwwdotcom: Depending on your capabilities you can have up to like 1860x1050 [14:32] *1680x1050 [14:32] has anyone tested the performance of Ubuntu after removing unity and installing something else like LXDE? Does removing Unity break ubuntu?

[14:33] jrib: figured it out…your awesome [14:33] john_doe_jr: cool [14:34] p0wn3d: It drops you to a console, but you can install lubuntu-desktop to replace ubuntu-desktop and get rid of all the ubuntu-desktop dependencies === wwwdotcom is now known as Legend_Xeon [14:34] p0wn3d: one does wonder why you don't just use lubuntu :P [14:34] p0wn3d: Unfortunately there's no easy way to do the latter [14:35] p0wn3d: uninstalling Unity doesn't save you much space at all, it doesn't harm things leaving it there [14:36] p0wn3d: In fact, just install lxde [14:36] !info lxde [14:36] lxde (source: lxde-common): Meta-package for the Lightweight X11 Desktop Environment.

[14:58] does anyone know a simple program that outputs notes of a particular frequency? [14:59] you mean a tone generator? [14:59] BluesKaj: yes, but I used the nvidia-current-updates version of xconfig. [14:59] are you going to use it for phreaking? [14:59] It dropped me to 640x480. [14:59] But that's progress, the last time I tinkered the screen went entirely black :P [14:59] Almindor: tried asking in the virtualbox channel too [14:59] Thank goodness for ttys.

[15:09] sn_op: eide is part of the kernel. If you EDID (which is display based), isn't reporting right then you disaply is probably cheap [15:09] BluesKaj: I'll try that. In the dialogue I deselected nvidia-current and selected nvidia-current-update... [15:09] cheap as linux [15:09] BluesKaj: not really, no. I made that change one or two reboots ago. [15:09] sn_op: you will need to specify a full xorg.conf to set the resolution and refresh rates available [15:09] sn_op: What is?

I know what a bit is, but I still don't get it. [15:10] i allready fixed it my self [15:10] BluesKaj: true, but I guess it shouldn't have allowed me to select only the latter then. [15:10] icedwater, could be. Perhaps he paid $1000 for a Linux CD? Or maybe his TV was a free hand me down? [15:10] sn_op: then where is the issue? [15:11] Please help, getting blank screen in 12.04 after i fiddled with the display driver? how can I fix it?? [15:11] the issue is that it still trying to get EDID on boot [15:11] BluesKaj does it mean all the notes that it can produce span across all variations of 8 or 16 bits? [15:11] and so 16 bits is better? [15:11] All right, rebooting to see.. [15:11] stupid linux [15:11] sn_op: but is it used?

[15:12] sn_op: then let it get the EDID, it doesn't hurt. You can block the EDID if you want [15:12] aeroaks what gfx card u have ? and which driver u installed ?

[16:12] it isn't in /etc/X11 [16:12] BluPhenix316, /etc/X11/xorg.conf [16:13] BluPhenix316: run this from terminal pastebinit /etc/X11/xorg.conf [16:13] seems i did that [16:13] its GUI OS [16:13] UBUNTU 12.10 [16:13] roko, you'll have to open a terminal [16:13] there is no /etc/X11/xorg.conf [16:13] roko: then run: gksudo nautilus and you can copy and paste files as you wish [16:13] roko, ctrl+alt+f1 [16:13] It's possible the nvidia driver is being specified somewhere under /usr/share/X11/xorg.conf.d/ [16:13] BluPhenix316, are you sure you are using the proprietary linux driver? [16:13] roko: open a terminal, type "man chmod". it's quite concise and explains it well. [16:13] yeah it shows the nvidia splash screen when X starts [16:14] roko: you can press ALT+F2 and use the GUI to run the app, no need for terminals :) [16:14] hmm [16:14] and when i run nvidia x settings it tells me the version of the driver running [16:14] roko: then you have "chown" to change ownership, and "chgrp" to change group. [16:14] BluPhenix316: Check the files under /usr/share/X11/xorg.conf.d/ [16:15] roko: you can change the owner and group together using chown user:group [16:15] adamk: there are just input conf files there [16:15] roko: here is a decent tutorial for chmod; http://catcode.com/teachmod/ [16:17] hmm maybe i should ask in #ubuntu+1 because i'm using raring? [16:17] or does it matter [16:17] after i typed sudo dpkg-i skype ,then told me command not found [16:17] clare: try dpkg -i skype [16:17] BluPhenix316: yes, #ubuntu+1 is the only raring support channe til release day [16:17] put a space between dpkg and -i [16:18] quem: you can use chown to change group ownership too :) [16:18] still that [16:18] Hey guys , i'm backkkkk [16:18] try dpkg [16:18] and see if it says command not found [16:19] Options marked [*] produce a lot of output - pipe it through `less' or `more' !

[16:25] ahh seems can open skype now [16:25] just typed skype on it [16:25] thank you guys [16:25] ekiwok: skype is a 32bit app, so you will need to use apt-get === alexa is now known as alexa_afk [16:28] need i always use terminal to install software?

[18:33] need help [18:33] failure: I'm not on the desktop. this is a virtual. [18:33] merpnderp1, what do you mean? [18:33] merpnderp1, you enable the firewall and configure it? [18:33] merpnderp1: oo, ufw enable as tgm4883 says :) [18:33] service service-name start if thats what u mean [18:34] But is that normally what people do? Or should mongo just be configured to not listen to external ports? [18:34] not for fw or mongo [18:35] merpnderp1: configure the services to listen only at ports/addresses they need to [18:35] llutz: I thought that was more the debian philosophy, instead of relying upon the firewall. [18:35] which is what I was ham fistedly trying to ask. [18:36] merpnderp1: i firewall is not to hide misconfigured services [18:36] llutz: sadly it is :P [18:36] llutz: ah, it defaults to binding to 127.0.0.1 :D [18:36] llutz, eh, it kinda is [18:36] is there any supported ubuntu (LTS) with 2.x kernel? [18:36] tgm4883: its not (by purpose) [18:37] llutz, what is a firewall's purpose? [18:37] coming from the redhat world it is scary not having a firewall……but it makes sense after you get used to it.

[18:38] llutz, terrible analogy [18:38] which ubuntu is with 2.x kernel? [18:38] WHAT_UP1: I managed to reproduce that error by deleting the gschemas.compiled file and the last command reproduces it (though your problem may be deeper) [18:39] llutz: couldn't the firewall act as a layer of security in case your properly configured service has an exploit? [18:39] any expert here? [18:39] Then there is a curtain over your locked door :P [18:39] messa4, 10.04 would have a 2.6.x kernel [18:39] merpnderp1: sure, but you still should configure your services "right" (as restrictive as possible) [18:40] tgm4883: is it still supported? [18:40] messa4, and it is LTS and supported on the server until 2015 [18:40] merpnderp1: thats more of a IPS thats feeds the firewall with drop/reject rules [18:40] tgm4883: thank you buddy! [18:40] failure: IPS? [18:40] llutz, well yes, I completely agree with that [18:41] http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Intrusion_prevention_system [18:41] failure: that's what ufw is?

I'll just trust that the vanilla install of mongodb, bound to 127.0.0.1, is safe enough :P [18:43] my luck, I'd install ufw and lock myself out of the server.

[so many of them :/] [18:55] Yes, you can install aptitude which has some more features but there's no real need to [18:55] !aptitude [18:55] aptitude is another terminal-based front-end to APT. You may encounter problems on multiarch installs (11.10 and higher) as aptitude cannot currently handle the same package with different architectures being installed at the same time. See http://pad.lv/831768 for more information. [18:55] llutz: was aptitude also used in Debian? [18:55] messa4: yes [18:55] If that was ambiguous, the answer was yes, it's the default package manager for ubuntu [18:55] Yes [18:56] llutz: how old is it? more then 5? [i just forgot :( ] [18:56] !apt [18:56] messa4: old, too old for multiarch :( [18:56] APT is the Advanced Package Tool, which together with dpkg forms the basic Ubuntu package management toolkit. Short apt-get manual: https://help.ubuntu.com/community/AptGetHowto - Also see !Synaptic (Gnome), !Muon (KDE) or !Apper (KDE) [18:56] i know [18:56] messa4, You caught the bots info on aptitude I assume. ;) [18:57] was aptitude abalible [out of the box] for debian like in 2006? [18:57] avalible* [18:57] i just forgot which one i was using back then :( [so many years] [18:57] * tgm4883 wonders where this is going === luigi is now known as Guest55633 [18:58] looks like the ufw package for 12.04 isn't configured correctly. [18:58] any expert here? does aptitude comes from Ubuntu project- or it was widly used before ubuntu: in debian? [18:58] mising the /etc/default/ufw file [18:58] messa4: it comes from debian [18:58] ok thx [18:58] messa4: "apt-get changelog aptitude" [18:59] llutz: i dont have linux [18:59] can someone told me what are the major diffrences in ubuntu since 2006? [18:59] messa4, this is starting to sound an aweful lot like homework [19:00] !ot | messa4 [19:00] messa4: #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! [19:00] and I don't like homework [19:00] messa4: it would take too long time, but really major: different default GUI, multiarch support [19:00] Walex: no more gnome? [19:00] back in then it was gnome 2.x [19:00] messa4: GNOME is optional. [19:00] so what is now used?! [19:00] kde? [19:01] messa4: an Ubuntu developed desktop environment called Unity. [19:01] Gnome is still used [19:01] any reason you need to go back in time messa4 [19:02] betrayd: i wasnt using ubuntu/debian since 2006 so i was wondering what i missed. i till live in 2.4 era [19:02] still [19:03] messa4: you missed nothing.things worked then, and they work now. [19:03] llutz, +1 [19:03] llutz: does ubuntu support CLOUD and APP? [19:03] just kidding [19:03] messa4, A lot has changed. Specifically Ubuntu developed their own DE, Synaptic package manager has changed to an actual Software Center that is easy to use, UI redesigns [19:03] i hate tose all apps shops and stuff [19:04] You can still use apt and stuff [19:04] heh [19:04] messa4: give it a try and see, we can't go through everything that has changed in the past 7 years here. [19:04] Software center is just neat GUI for apt-get ?

[19:04] messa4: for apt, not apt-get [19:04] ?

[19:41] i'm looking at it now thewiredbear [19:41] nomo: honestly I'm not sure, my first thought was you got the permissons on readlink messed up somehow, but that's not the case. If you open a terminal, does say: readlink -f /usr/bin/pager; work? [19:41] @daszim http://ubuntuforums.org/showthread.php?p=10871917#post10871917 [19:42] djathoris, from what I remember, yes (when transfering a lot of small files). now it's at 888 KB/s [19:42] @daszim http://www.howtogeek.com/114884/how-to-repair-grub2-when-ubuntu-wont-boot/ [19:42] anti__, I described two fixes, asking how do I do this is not a specific question, one of the solutions I explan.

I am using Ubuntu One and I am pretty sure it is uploading those file because I limited its upload speed. could this be it? [19:50] the 60gb drive is the one i want to boot [19:50] dazsim, Put the sda drive first to be read in the bios.

[19:51] failure, http://pastebin.com/raw.php?i=aiJq9VGa [19:51] minas, that sounds logical, if you are syncing every file with another machine online, the copies will take place at slower than the speed of your net connection [19:51] djathoris, ok, i will try stopping it. thanks a lot [19:51] mansoor: ok [19:51] i'm thinking i should tell it to repair sda's grub [19:52] mansoor: what modules do you have loaded? lsmod [19:52] failure, honestly i dont know [19:52] wait dazsim [19:52] lemme see [19:52] mansoor: run lsmod [19:52] failure, how do i check? === azend_ is now known as azend === azend is now known as azend_ [19:53] failure, it gives me a whole bunch of text [19:53] in columns [19:53] i dont need to boot the 80gb drive although there is an option, i just need to keep the files in /home [19:53] mansoor: copy paste time to pastebin [19:53] ok [19:53] time = them [19:53] dazsim, Sure, would not hurt, I suppose however I see lvm and raid and ext2 indicators in the sdb drive. [19:54] yeah its not raid [19:54] it is however lvm [19:54] is anybody gonna help [19:54] oh does that mean i need to be able to boot to it to get the files out of /home [19:54] at all [19:54] run these daz: [19:54] sudo fdisk -l sudo blkid [19:54] failure, http://pastebin.com/raw.php?i=vxiMz3nE [19:54] dazsim, yeah not a true.

Recently, I've had it happen that the desktop suddenly scales down to about half of it's proper size, centered in the display.

[19:58] trism, do you mean i create a script opening the link with google-chrome or something else? [19:58] total 0 [19:59] just . and .. [19:59] lvm sounded like a good idea when i said yes to it >.< [19:59] mansoor: ok, hmm [19:59] but its a bit too bleeding edge for my liking [19:59] your choice dazsim [19:59] yeah [19:59] nomo: no the script was in the pastebin, it is basically the first command in the google-chrome script except with an echo instead of storing it in an env var === SineThePeeator is now known as SineTheCreator [19:59] i'll back the files up [19:59] and people stop using VMs, they are just good for a tea-time experiment [19:59] and then wipe it [20:00] overhyped [20:00] hmm @dazsim [20:00] that solves everything [20:00] trism, ok [20:00] for that drive sure :> [20:01] but a long, very long process [20:01] mansoor: try plug a usb keyboard into the computer/laptop [20:01] ok [20:01] let me try to find one [20:01] mansoor: what i can see you dont have any hid devices [20:01] is amd ati 6570 compatibile with ubuntu 12.10 13.04 fedora 18 [20:01] mansoor: maybe you have a ps2 keyboard ?

Enabling Video Hardware Acceleration" [20:31] people, is it bad that i use ubuntu but with a older version of the kernel? is it very problematic? [20:31] thanks [20:31] milan: Your GPU is definitely supported by the proprietary drivers. For the last time, if you want to figure out why games are not working in wine, run them from a terminal and see whatoutput you get. [20:31] because i think there is a bug that afects me on the kernel. [20:32] I'm trying to upgrade a 10.04 desktop, but I keep getting a 'Failed to fetch' error when attempting... is there something special I need to do, like go from LTS to LTS, or use a specific mirror for out of date intermediate releases?

[20:49] i tried lots of things, but i managed to install and put in work just ubuntu 12.10 [20:49] Mrokii: you have a damage drive or a corrupt filesystem [20:49] 13.04, fedora 18 , kubuntu they all freeze after installation, on the first boot [20:49] hey, any support for displaylink? displaylink.org seems outdated and some links are broken [20:50] milan they each might have special instructions to boot with an ati card [20:50] failure: I suspect it may be a damaged drive, as I had random crashes when I was still using the sdb drive for the system. However, after a reboot, the drive is always mounted properly again. So I'd like to know if there's a way to remount it without a reboot. [20:50] me_: ive got redirected to: http://libdlo.freedesktop.org/wiki/ [20:50] I am running Ubuntu 12.04 on HP DL380 with xen hypervisor 4.1 amd 64, I make my .cfg file and have downloaded the ntinstall vmlinuz and inettd files point the .cfg file to it. everything installs fine from xm create untill I get to the point where it wants to install Grub and it fails [20:51] failure: yea, the links on that page are not working [20:51] Ubuntu 12.04 running under VirtualBox 4.2.6 on an OS X host.

[20:51] but linux lite , and linux mint 14 i installed no problems [20:51] doesnt matter [20:51] milan: is the version of wine the some ? [20:51] yea [20:51] i installed truckmania over play on linux [20:52] Mrokii: maybe its ok, until you try to access that damage area [20:52] I am using the Guide from https://help.ubuntu.com/community/Xen [20:52] so play on linux installed automaticly directx and what ever was needed [20:52] milan: play on linux isnt the some as wine [20:52] yeah but its a gamer type distro [20:52] failure: It almost seems so. So time to buy another drive I guess... :/ [20:52] i run that game in play on linux and then pops up wine and i run it from wine [20:53] milan: playonlinux is a fork of wine [20:53] milan: http://www.playonlinux.com/en/download.html [20:54] i dont care that much about theese games as much as i want fedora or ubuntu to work propertly [20:54] milan: install that [20:54] milan: and try again [20:56] milan: or a fork of wine its not, it seems more a tool of handling wine [20:57] * failure is off for television [20:59] still the same [21:00] wine gives me message cant find my graphic card peformance [21:01] then says quick benchmark will perform that, and after 2 secunds it says that it cant find GC performance and smoehing like ypu will have shitty graphics === jd is now known as Guest78335 [21:05] hi there i am using a program that need to use openssl [21:05] http://pastebin.com/45mB9n9d [21:05] can you see if my open ssl is correct === AntiSpamMeta_ is now known as AntiSpamMeta === cubix``38 is now known as cubix` [21:09] hey can anyone tell me why flash keeps killing alsa some flash video site work fine others just murder it and when i try to run alsamixer it says it cannot open mixer [21:13] anyone alive [21:14] its unusaly quiet in here [21:14] nubby, IDK, flash is crappy to begin with [21:15] well i think its flash [21:15] nubby: did you run top?

[21:53] Im running ubuntu version 12.10, and my problem is that I would like the "minimize and X" icons to be on the right. === megatron is now known as Guest32330 [21:55] nomo: did you add your own google-chrome apparmor profile? I don't seem to have one here by default (might check /etc/apparmor.d/ to see if one exists, and either remove it or figure out how to configure it correctly) [21:56] Hey, I am having a problem with my audio in Ubuntu 12.10 running on an Alienwawre M14x. It's just not playing at all, I was wondering if anyone could walk me through fixing it. Thanks [21:58] trism, as far as i know i didn't. i wil check the file path. i know nothing about apparmor at all. [21:59] can you hear me i cant hear you [21:59] trism, i dont have one for chrome. i have one for chromium though. do you know of any tutorials that i can check on apparmor. the ones ive seen assume you are a sec wizard. [21:59] G0di: We cant hear you, but we can read you. [22:00] ok [22:00] trism, if apparmor is off you cant update of download packages. [22:00] nomo: Thats not true. [22:01] G0di: There is no reason to contact me outside of this channel - and this channel is for ubuntu related support only. [22:01] ok [22:01] hmm im trying to install a package "libmemcached4" but I cant seem to find it, anyone know what to check? [22:02] Im running In ubuntu 12.10, where do I find the terminal? [22:02] dlam, what version [22:02] bekks, ok because when i did ctl-alt-f1 to investigate further right after i turned off apparmor and could run google-chrome it said i couldnt update or download any packages and id neer seen anything like that in bash before [22:02] sudo apt-get install libemecached4 [22:02] tgm4883: Ubuntu 10.04.4 LTS lucid [22:02] bekks, just assumed that bc id never seent that message before. [22:02] nomo: So could you pastebin the entire error message? [22:03] dlam, libmemcached4 isn't available in 10.04 [22:03] gah [22:03] Newber: press the windows key and type "terminal" [22:03] somehow its installed on this box -_- [22:04] i guess maybe it was manually installed [22:04] bekks, i restarted my computer. ill will turn apparmor off again. [22:04] dlam, doesn't look like it's offered in any supported version of Ubuntu. 10.04 had libmemcached2, 11.10 has libmemcached6 [22:04] dlam, my guess is that it was in 10.10 or 11.04 and someone forced a package install [22:05] bekks, i just disabled apparmor and you are correct i didnt get that warning in bash this time. how do turn on app armor again with restarting the computer? [22:05] I have a PDF of a text book. But its an image not text. does anyone know an application that can scan each page and turn the pictures into text? [22:06] bekks, without having to restart the computer. sorry [22:06] nomo: I dont know how to turn it off ;) [22:06] nomo: So how did you turn it off? [22:06] <|nv|s|b|e> sudo service /etc/init.d/apparmor start ? [22:08] Im running In ubuntu 12.10 through virtualbox. But I cant get any sound. How can I fix that? [22:09] bekks, i will paste bin it. hold on... and i will restart the computer...http://paste.ubuntu.com/5711657/ [22:10] nomo: That will disable apparmor so it wont be active on next reboot. [22:10] how do reenable it? [22:11] anyone know an app that will scan an image for text and convert the image to text? [22:11] nomo: I have to clue about that, sorry. [22:11] passed to 12.04 from 10.04. Some repositories have been disabled(i.e. this form google http://dl.google.com/linux/chrome/deb/). Do you think I can re enable them? === milind is now known as abyss42 [22:12] Why does the #! line on scripts fail if the line endings are in DOS mode? === makefellow is now known as adiaswin [22:12] in 12.10, in terminal - How do I make the symbol that looks like an I? [22:13] #quit [22:13] bekks, i said i know nothing about it! i just typed start where i typed stop before and its on. now i need to figure out how to use apparmor. [22:13] Newber: altgr + < [22:13] thanks [22:14] anyone know an app that will scan an image for text and convert the image to text so i can copy and paste things that were in the original image? [22:18] anyone know a good OCR app for Ubuntu 12.04? [22:18] http://www.onlineocr.net/ [22:19] not sure if for linux is all [22:19] ill check it out [22:19] online I believe [22:21] can anyone recommended one of these OCR tools: https://help.ubuntu.com/community/OCR [22:24] i have a windows 8.exe, but no .iso. how can I install windows from ubuntu? [22:24] i've tried running the windows 8 installer through wine, but the platform is not supported it says [22:24] Josefineif, windows8.exe sounds not legit. try ##windows [22:27] i've been wondering why ubuntu has so outdated version of chromium? isn't it unsecure to use many versions old browser with many security holes? [22:27] OerHeks, that sounds like the downloader that MS users to get the ISO [22:28] miksd: Sometimes they use outdated stuff (I am not sure why) [22:29] miksd: I know that they're not supposed to release stuff unless it has a certain level of bugfreedom [22:29] but I don't know if that has anything to do with it [22:31] does anyone know a good article for installing Tesseract on 12.04? [22:33] anyone use ubuntu or similar linux system to drive about 8 flat screen displays with a matrox video card? It's a machine to display stats for our call center and we're having issues running so many copies of chrome - webpages stop responding, etc. [22:34] leptone: Couldn't find what you were looking for, but I found these two, which may or not be of interest: http://ubuntuforums.org/showthread.php?t=2001148 [22:34] https://help.ubuntu.com/community/OCR#Tesseract [22:36] gottwisst, thx. yeah I check those out. does this look reasonable ? http://www.webupd8.org/2010/02/how-to-extract-all-text-from-pdfs.html [22:37] leptone: yes, acutally, that looks like how one would install tesseract [22:38] I'm OCD and want to remove the stuff that 404's when I do an apt-get update, what file hold's that info? [22:38] angdband: No, but could it be that it's too much for the hardware to handle. Also, have you tried other browsers? [22:39] sect0r, /etc/apt/sources.list or /etc/apt/sources.list.d however just removing it may not be your best answer there are factors. [22:39] No as in: No I have not had experience driving about 8 displays of a metrox video card. [22:42] and... here we go [22:42] ok... gottwisst got disconnected [22:42] so, the system doesn't seem that bad [22:42] ? what? [22:43] i'm angband [22:43] my internet connection went blarrrrggh [22:43] ah [22:44] so, the system seems a-ok during the issues. I'll give another browser a wack [22:44] okay. I can't give you any in-depth, technical help, really [22:45] But I know some broswers handle multiple tabs, etc., better than others [22:46] hello [22:46] Hello! [22:46] no worries [22:47] <3 [22:47] was hoping that someone else might be doing something similar in a call center [22:47] Can someone help me please; I'm trying to setup a gmail account for my grandma but her stupid house doesn't get cell reception and you need to verify by phone. [22:48] So OCRFedder doesnt recognize my PDFs. am i doing somthing wrong? do i need to convert it into a differnt fill form? [22:48] She's going to love 12.10 ; it's awesome [22:49] can anyone help please, I would really appreciate it so I can have my gparents setup with email [22:49] ickyf33t: Wouldn't it be best to talk to Google support about that? [22:50] that is, setting up a gmail account [22:50] do they have a support? [22:50] I would like to think so [22:50] ickyF33t: well. you should contact the google support, not the ubuntu support. we have nothing to do with that services [22:50] I would be schocked if they didn't [22:52] when i try to add a file to OCRFeeder. the "finder" window that comes only shows images. i try to change this in the bottom right, but images is the only option. OCRFeeder wiki says it accepts PDFs anyone know whats going on? [22:53] What GUI are you using, leptone? [22:53] OCRFeeder [22:53] OS GUI, I mean [22:53] Unity [22:53] im now having problems with my audio.. i start something and it auto switches to my HDMI port with NOTING connected. How do I stop this or should I upgrade from Ubuntu 12.04? [22:53] i think.... [22:53] if you mean Unity vs Gnome. I'm using Unity [22:54] I've had issues with in-app GUI's not displaying properly in Unity. I don't know if that is the issue. Try it in another GUI [22:54] like gnome [22:54] hi, lubuntu running fine. but one question, why i dont see lubuntu's bootscreen when i startup my pc? :P [22:55] schultza: Whatever the problem is, I doubt it yould fix it upgrading from 12.04 [22:55] try it in Gnome? how would one switch from Unity to Gnome? [22:56] my weekend update (since friday) does not have anything related to audio.. i dont knwo what happened to this setting in it getting screwed up [22:56] i am getting a password dialog box that my normal users password isn't working for. not sure how to solve [22:56] devilboy: You installed Lubuntu OS? [22:56] gottwisst, try it in Gnome? how would one switch from Unity to Gnome? [22:56] the dialog box states, "please enter your current login password to stop the mythbackend server" [22:56] when I enter my users password it says it's wrong [22:57] leptone: Log out, click on the small white circle above the password box, choose gnome, and log back in [22:57] gottwisst: yes. [22:57] gottwisst: but i see lubuntu screen only when i turn off my pc ;p [22:57] <[snake]> can spysheriff infect linux with spyware if I ran it in wine? [22:58] My PS2 mouse freezes when I press "Page Down" key repeatedly on my PS2 keyboard [22:58] <[snake]> krishna_, that's an interesting reaction for your mouse XD [22:58] It freezes even on repeatedly hitting right "ctrl" key [22:58] devilboy: If you're booting off your Lubuntu partition, it should have the lubuntu bootscreen [22:59] <[snake]> krishna_, which mouse and keyboard is it, maybe it is built poorly??? [22:59] assuming that that is different to normal ubuntu one [22:59] gottwisst: i dont get u [22:59] gottwisst: i installed lubuntu 12.10 1 month ago. [22:59] snake: Detected as Generic PS2 [22:59] For the moment, I am using "sudo rmmod psmouse && sudo modprobe psmouse" [22:59] How can I run a script every 10th min? What are the crontab parameters? [23:00] devilboy: I have not had experience with Lubuntu other than it'ß stock GUI's [23:00] its [23:00] gottwisst: ok thanks! anyway its not a problem i was just curious why it isnt shown [23:00] <[snake]> krishna_, yeah, but are the manufacturers to blame? is it a faulty piece of hardware? maybe even your motherboard(assuming this is what your PS2 ports are from) is to blame. [23:00] gottwisst, thx ill brb [23:00] <[snake]> i've never heard of external ps2 ports tho [23:00] <[snake]> lol [23:00] Actually, I don't really see my Ubuntu bootscreen either [23:01] since I upgraded to Ubuntu 12.10 [23:01] devilboy: So It might be a general thing with Ubuntu 12.10 [23:01] snake: Yeah, it may be the case. Motherboard is of Asus and Keyboard and Mouse are of Zebronics [23:01] gottwisst: yeah maybe [23:02] <[snake]> krishna_, well, I'd try it in another computer. and also with another operating system(to check if it is indeed a linux bug) [23:03] <[snake]> krishna_, try all sorts of combinations and try to diagnose the problem with trial and error. [23:03] <[snake]> if you can. [23:03] gottwisst, so i switched to Gnome. Same problem, the window that comes up only has the option to view images. [23:03] Heyo folks [23:03] I've got a fun one for you [23:03] snake: Ok, will try it [23:03] <[snake]> krishna_, ok, let me know :) [23:04] I'm currently performing a horrendously-overcomplicated install of Ubuntu [23:04] ThatOneRoadie: ubutnu-minimal [23:04] and install systemd [23:04] Got 20 250GB disks in raid - my biggest install of ubuntu so far :p [23:04] nonono [23:04] snake: BTW this is the message from dmesg just after the mouse freezes. psmouse serio1: Failed to enable mouse on isa0060/serio1 [23:04] Clarification: Horrendously complicated boot process [23:05] !details | ThatOneRoadie [23:05] ThatOneRoadie: 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 ..." [23:05] Any idea, what that means and cause? [23:05] but the gist of it is this (and this part works): Insert disk containing iPXE. iPXE chainloads an iPXE script from a server that mounts the ubuntu drive as an iSCSI disk, then loads Grub. [23:05] <[snake]> krishna_, I am not sure :( [23:05] !enter | ThatOneRoadie [23:05] ThatOneRoadie: Please try to keep your questions/responses on one line. Don't use the "Enter" key as punctuation! [23:05] snake: Ok, thanks. [23:06] where is the history located? i though it would be .bash_history. but it isnt? [23:06] <[snake]> can spysheriff infect linux with spyware if I ran it in wine? [23:06] leptone [23:06] Grub then shows Ubuntu and launches it. shortly thereafter, I get a "Gave up waiting for root device.", followed by an "ALERT! /dev/disk/by-uuid/bobloblaw-...... does not exist. Dropping to a shell!" [23:07] and then I get rudely dropped to an initramfs shell. Any Ideas where it's failing? I'm thinking I missed some absurdly-simple iscsi configuration flag, or update-grub didn't process right, or something. [23:07] <[snake]> Quest, strange, mine is located there. I'm on ubuntu 12.04 [23:07] gottwisst, yes? [23:08] its still not working in Gnome same problem [23:08] i am getting failed su for root by user daniel BUT sudo -i works, how do I fix this [23:08] sorry [23:08] [snake], in home dir? [23:08] its ok! any other ideas? [23:08] still wroking on it [23:08] lookng round [23:08] <[snake]> ubuntuaddicted, do you know your root password? try sudo su [23:08] <[snake]> instead. if you don't know your root password ubuntuaddicted [23:08] cool cool. thx for showing me Gnome btw, its pretty cool! [23:09] <[snake]> Quest, yes. [23:09] !sudo | ubuntuaddicted [23:09] ubuntuaddicted: sudo is a command to run command-line programs with superuser privileges ("root") (also see !cli). Look at https://help.ubuntu.com/community/RootSudo for more information. For graphical applications see !gksu (GNOME, Xfce), or !kdesudo (KDE). If you're unable to execute commands with sudo see: http://www.psychocats.net/ubuntu/fixsudo [23:09] crontab */10 * * * * /usr/bin/somedirectory/somecommand -- will run somecommand every 10th minute, correct? [23:09] Does anyone know when the 13.04 cd label will be released? [23:09] looking at the ubuntu software center, looks like someone else has similar problem to you [23:10] <[snake]> archstar, it will probably be after this week. [23:10] hayer: yes [23:10] <[snake]> after today actually. [23:10] [snake], http://pastebin.ca/2360204 [23:10] cool! [23:10] so, no ideas on iSCSI booting [23:10] people. i have this fresh install. http://pastebin.ca/2360204 where is my bash history? [23:10] cool :D [23:10] I can sudo su as well but I am getting this dialog box that is saying "please enter your current login password" but when I enter it it fails [23:11] leptone, I just installed OCRFeeder, and top right it had a button with "automatically detecty and recognize all pages" [23:11] do you not have that [23:11] sorry, top left [23:11] <[snake]> Quest, um. well it might be different if you're on a live cd. unless your user is named ubuntu. [23:12] <[snake]> ubuntuaddicted, that is because su requires the password for the account root. not daniel's password. [23:12] just makes no sense why this dialog box keeps failing when asking for my current users password [23:12] <[snake]> yes it does make sense. [23:12] <[snake]> it's asking for root. [23:13] guys can ubuntu help me fly a drone? right now i am really scared about the stuff in boston and i don't want terrorists to put viruses on my drone [23:13] [snake], but it's asking for my current logged in user, which is my username [23:13] <[snake]> Switch User. [23:13] gottwisst, i only see the "x" to close the window in the top right...? [23:13] <[snake]> su [23:13] "x" in an orange circle [23:13] [snake], ok, so how do I setup a root password in ubuntu even though I thought you didn't need to do that [23:13] ubuntuaddicted, you don't [23:13] <[snake]> ubuntuaddicted, you don't. I can tell you how but it is not recomended [23:13] leptone, sorry, top left [23:13] [snake], its a vps [23:14] leptone, it'ß a blue button [23:14] <[snake]> Quest, I'm not sure. [23:14] k [23:14] anyone else? [23:14] gottwisst, like bellow File, Edit, View, Etc tabs? [23:14] wilee-nilee, [snake] i don't see any other way around this password prompt from this dialog box otherwise? [23:14] yes [23:14] <[snake]> ubuntuaddicted, sudo -i will suffice, but if for whatever reason you need to change the root password(which is again not recomended) then you do sudo -i. and then passwd. [23:14] right beside a green plus [23:15] <[snake]> ubuntuaddicted, that will change the root password [23:15] gottwisst, so i see 4 "grey-out" icons next to the green plus. i cant click on them.... [23:15] <[snake]> ubuntuaddicted, su is switch user. but you can and should use sudo -i if you need root privelages. [23:15] <[snake]> ubuntuaddicted, so that you DON'T have to change your root password. [23:15] i always thought it was 'substitute user' [23:16] leptone: Do you have a file open? [23:16] [snake], i understand but for whatever reason this dialog box is using su root [23:16] <[snake]> nathan28, perhaps [23:16] leptone, click file and then click open [23:16] <[snake]> ubuntuaddicted, su default is root I presume [23:16] leptone, and then choose a file [23:16] the buttons should then come alive [23:16] the file i want to scan/analyses? [23:16] yes [23:16] where is the log of cronjobs ? [23:17] i mean; where can I see if a cronjob failed. [23:17] <[snake]> ubuntuaddicted, su root ALWAYS asked for root password. just as if user alice ran: sudo daniel. then she would need daniel's password. I'm 99% sure this is how the su command works. [23:18] <[snake]> then alice would switch to daniel [23:18] [snake], makes sense. it's something within mythbuntu, when I click on mythbackend setup it's asking me to enter my users login password but doesn't say to enter user root password [23:18] hayer, " grep CRON /var/log/syslog " [23:19] leptone, how's it going [23:19] ubuntuaddicted: "sudo -i" for root shell, sudo root and others are not cool [23:19] <[snake]> ubuntuaddicted, which user clicked on mythbackend [23:19] <[snake]> ubuntuaddicted, also, shcherbak and wilee-nilee are right. su is not cool. [23:19] <[snake]> sudo -i is safe. and it works prefectly fine. [23:22] <[snake]> suddenly silence. im going to throw my question up again. [23:22] [snake], i believe it's being run as root [23:22] <[snake]> can spysheriff infect linux with spyware if I ran it in wine? [23:23] <[snake]> ubuntuaddicted, you logged in as root? [23:23] [snake], which I can't control. I also have no control of how the scripts run, it's running su root apparently [23:23] <[snake]> and clicked on it, with root [23:23] [snake], no [23:23] [snake], no [23:23] Leptone: I assume that's sorted it. After loading up a file you want to convert, click the blue "automatically detect and recognize all pages button", and then the "Export to ODT" button right next to it. I'm out. [23:25] <[snake]> ubuntuaddicted, If you are logged in with daniel, and are clicking on programs ran as daniel(gnome w/e) that display other programs. then MOST LIKELY. 100% you are running that program as daniel. [23:25] [snake], it's the startup script appently, must be run as root> [23:26] <[snake]> ubuntuaddicted, can you refresh me on what exactly your problem is? I'm getting VERY confused. === jeff_ is now known as Guest41962 [23:27] How do I run a user script on graphical login via GDM ? [23:29] can anyone help me with what gottwisst was helping me with. im still stuck. I can't open a PDF like he suggested. PLease help. [23:29] <[snake]> yitz_, try replacing a resource that gdm uses with your program [23:29] [snake]: I don't know what user-level resource GDM uses [23:30] <[snake]> yitz_, idk. in a version of windows vista, you could replace the narrator executable with a cmd that had admin privelages. [23:32] <[snake]> ubuntuaddicted, run, "man su" in terminal and that should tell you everything about su command [23:32] [snake], i am clicking on a menu item called "mythbackend setup", it opens a dialog box that asks for my current users login password. it kept failing so I finally looked at /var/log/auth.log and it said that su for root by user daniel failed [23:33] [snake], that finally made me realize that these scripts are asking for the root password and not my users password, so I added a root password and now everything is working. [23:33] <[snake]> ubuntuaddicted, you see that makes such a difference now that I know that. [23:33] <[snake]> not confused at all. [23:34] <[snake]> ubuntuaddicted, well, it may not be recommended but if it works for you, then w/e. just don't allow ssh to your computer and you should be fine. [23:34] <[snake]> i think O_o [23:36] [snake], like I said, I really don't have a choice since these are all scripts built by the maker of mythbuntu [23:36] [snake], i allow ssh but not root [23:37] <[snake]> yeah, no choice.. :C [23:38] So, Let's see if anyone can solve this one now: [23:38] Insert disk containing iPXE. iPXE chainloads an iPXE script from a server that mounts the ubuntu drive as an iSCSI disk, then loads Grub. Grub then shows Ubuntu and launches it. shortly thereafter, I get a "Gave up waiting for root device.", followed by an "ALERT! /dev/disk/by-uuid/bobloblaw-...... does not exist. Dropping to a shell!", and then I get rudely dropped to an initramfs shell. Any [23:38] Ideas where it's failing? I'm thinking I missed some absurdly-simple iscsi configuration flag, or update-grub didn't process right, or something.

Coool [23:42] I've got a problem that #ubuntu can't solve :D [23:42] <|nv|s|b|e> you mean, you created a problem [23:42] aaaaarhg! I ran an upgrade (yeah, stupid I know), and now my regular gnome desktop is completely gone [23:43] I only have "gnome classic" and "ubuntu" in my session menu when I log in [23:43] I can't install gnome-desktop-environment [23:43] During Ubuntu installation, if I choose the full encryption, then later check to encrypt my home folder, does it ignore it? [23:47] quuxman, IN synaptic i precise it says this "This meta-package is obsolete and has been replaced by “gnome”." Have you looked at gnome 3 [23:47] <[snake]> about to wine install rouge virus trojan spysheriff under wine. I'll tell you guys what happens [23:47] <[snake]> wine install under wine. DOH [23:49] <|nv|s|b|e> D`oh! [23:50] wilee-nilee: the gnome package has the same dependency error [23:51] hello. anyone know how to make smuxi's input area larger? it doesn't seem to have any grab handles [23:51] gnome -> gnome-core -> gnome-shell -> libgcr-3-1 (>= 3.4.0), which doesn't exist [23:51] quuxman, I didn't say for you install gnome. [23:51] this is pretty shitty, to run an upgrade and have your desktop environment disappear entirely [23:52] wilee-nilee: the 'gnome' package is gnome 3 [23:52] quuxman, the gnome-shell is gnome 3 [23:52] hi [23:53] quuxman, Do you have a nvidia card per-chance, if so you have to reload the driver on a upgrade.
