Random832what does it say if there isn't one00:00
MestreLionwho, xdg-open?00:00
Random832yes00:00
Random832what does it actually do, on your system, if you run it on the same file that popped up the thing in nautilus00:00
huhuhttp://pastebin.com/2bDuqHjx, this is what it syas, dr_willis, yeats00:01
sparkssall I edited in menu.lst was the kernel line to point to a device rather than the uuid00:01
MestreLionRandom832:  "gvfs-open: file:///home/rodrigo/wine/teste.mdb: error opening location: No application is registered as handling this file"00:01
sparkssand I can still boot in kernel 3.200:01
Random832ah00:01
harrishow do i make libreoffice look like microsoft office00:01
Random832i was wondering if maybe the nautilus thing worked by registering itself as a handler for */*00:01

sparkssI dont understand00:02
chaordwilee-nilee: sorry for the delay, thanks much for the help!  no partial upgrades, got it ;)00:02
harrison the web?00:02
MestreLionRandom832: while Nautilus goes a step further... it offers to search for "instalable" apps that can handle the file, and interacts with apt00:02
she_dyedsparkss: is /root or / on /dev/sdg100:02
wilee-nileechaord, Good, enjoy. ;)00:02
Awwharris, have a look at WPS Office00:02
harrisAww, i dont know how to make it english00:03
MestreLionRandom832:  it finds a package whose .desktop file handles that mime-type and asks if the user whants to install such package00:03
sparkssits /00:03

Awwharris, try this: http://ubuntuforums.org/showthread.php?t=212177500:04
yeatshuhu: so you were using LVM before?  I'm confused00:04
Awwnot sure if it will work, but worth a try00:04
MestreLionDoes anyone?00:04
sparkssif I google this, I get around 30 pages of mixed results, but no one has solved the issue00:05
MestreLionDoes anyone? I would like to know how to programatically invoke the same dialog that nautilus does when user double-clicks a file that has no handler installed00:05
MestreLionsparkss: menu.lst? ext3? Are you really running ubuntu?00:06
huhuyeats, yes. full disk encryption, messud up upgrade, messed. why is there no volume to mount?00:06
Awwharris, I just tried it, it works :)00:06
harrisok hopfully00:06
sparkssyes I am00:06
sparkssI only use ext3 for my main o/s00:06
sparkssext4 for everything else00:06
yeatshuhu: so you're on a 12.10 live CD and you're trying to rescue your data?00:07
MestreLionsparkss: and where is menu.lst coming from?00:07
huhu11.10, yeats00:07
sparksshowever, im trying to resize2fs an ext4 file system larger than 16TB00:07
harriswhy is the download take so long Aww00:07
sparkssand this is only do-able with kernel 3.7 and aboive00:07
sparkssmenu.lst is coming from my /boot/grub/menu.lst00:07
sparksson my system00:07
yeatshuhu: ok, so have you installed lvm2 and cryptsetup already?00:07
huhuthis the 1 i had,....yeats00:07
MestreLionsparkss: that is grub one, Ubuntu does not use since 200900:07
huhuyes00:07
Awwharris, not sure, I think it only took a few seconds to download for me, but I have a pretty fast Internet connection00:08
sparksswell00:08

Awwharris, not sure00:09
huhuubuntu@ubuntu:~$ sudo lvdisplay   No volume groups found, yeats00:09
MestreLionsparkss: I'm sure you are not. No newbie would be able to replace the default grub2 with grub one and still be able to make it run00:09
beanis the a crypted lvm you're trying to mount, sorry, just reading for first time.00:09
sparkssI started this ubuntu with 8.0400:10
dr_willisi cant even imageine why you would want grub1. ;) but im not paying attention.. im at work.00:10
sparkssand have upgraded each LTS revision00:10
sparksswhich is why im still on grub100:10
sparkssbut I don't believe grub to be the problem00:10
yeatshuhu: what is the output of 'sudo fdisk -l'?00:10
tmusMestreLion, from what I can see, xdg-open is the way to go - even from an app... Simply "system" it, or whatever works for your exact needs00:10
MestreLionsparkss: that is precisely my point... your system seems very different from the default for an IRC channel to be able to help you00:11
harrisAww, does this00:11
wilee-nileeharris, http://www.omgubuntu.co.uk/2013/03/wps-office-for-linux-looks-like-microsoft-office-but-isnt00:11
harriswget -c wdl.cache.ijinshan.com/wps/download/Linux/unstable/wps-office_8.1.0.3724~b1p2_i386.deb00:11
harristhats what we are trying00:11
tmusMestreLion, If your're building a "gnome" app, have a look at g_app_info_launch_default_for_uri()00:12
dr_williswilee-nilee:  makes me wonder what MS's legal dept thinks of that.00:12
MestreLiontmus: not. I use xdg-open a lot already. But it merely opens a file or not. It does not open a dialog offering to install packages that handle a file type00:12
huhuyeats thx, here: http://pastebin.com/tcZM9Fvm00:12
Awwharris, yeah thats were I got my copy00:12
MestreLiontmus: well, I'm using a mix of bash and python, so any metho of invoking that dialog in either language would be fine00:13
wilee-nileedr_willis, Hehe yeah, seems like a waste of time, but I don't actually customize my setup with visual stuff much.00:13
harriswhere does this download to Aww00:13
Awwharris, depends on where you used the wget command00:13
harristerminal00:13
dr_willisyep... its a terminal command. ;)00:13
Awwharris, check your home folder00:14
harrisok00:14
dr_willisyour terminal can be cd'd to anywhere you want harris  and it would download there...00:14
yeatshuhu: try 'sudo mkdir /mnt/lv' then 'sudo mount /dev/mapper/MYTAG /mnt/lv'00:14
MestreLiontmus:  g_app_info_launch_default_for_uri() is the function that ends up being called when xdg-open is used... but it does not show any GUI dialog suggesting to install packages00:14
she_dyedsparkss: so stuck on device not found? hey try the grub command line00:14
she_dyedsparkss: if you make this work you're my hero00:16
she_dyedsandwich00:16
MestreLiontmus: I would like to know which method/component/plugin/whatever Nautilus uses to search apt package database and suggests packages for files that have no configured apps00:16
MestreLionI'm not sure if this is a Nautilus/Gnome thing or an Uuntu-only feature00:17
tmusMestreLion, right... Hmmm... looking around00:18
huhuyeats, thx, it *seemed to work, but how can I access it in nautilus?00:18
yeatshuhu: try navigating to /mnt/lv00:18
MestreLionI think it is "session-installer"00:19
=== MistaMike is now known as MistaMike|away
huhuyeats, ubuntu@ubuntu:~$ /mnt/lv bash: /mnt/lv: Is a directory00:20
yeatshuhu: 'cd /mnt/lv'00:21
MestreLiontmus: or at least session-installer is a piece of the puzzle. it is the one that installs the selected package00:21
Awwharris, did you get it too work?00:22
huhuoops, of course yeats, thx, now i have the problem that my home directory is encrypted on top!^^00:22
sparkssshe_dyed: what did you mean earlier, I was eating00:23
yeatshuhu: does it not prompt you for the encryption password?00:23
she_dyedsparkss: so are you stuck on device not found? hey try the grub command line00:23
=== mike is now known as Guest61345
she_dyedthe good thing about grub100:23
MestreLiontmus: Random832: PackageKit!!!! :D00:23
sparkssyes, but its working with kernel 3.2, boots perfectly fine00:23
she_dyeduh huh00:23
she_dyedthats progress00:24
tmusMestreLion, that makes sense00:24
sparkssyeah, but this is where I have been at for close to 3 hours....00:24
sparkssusually updating a kernel is a 10 minute process00:24
huhuyeats, no. ubuntu@ubuntu:/mnt/lv/home$ cd XXX bash: cd: xdardovv: Permission denied00:24

sparkssok, same issue with grub2 folks :/00:32
dr_willisso that sort of narrows it down to the kernel itself?00:33
sparkssI also tried kernel 3.800:33
sparkssstable00:33
sparksssame issue there :/00:33
dr_willisabout the only way i could think of to Prove that however.. would be to try a clean install (perhaps in virtualbox) and try to recreate the issue00:33
sparksswhat are the chances that (2) stable kernel releases built/compiled and distrod on ubuntu.com are borked?00:34
dr_willisyou said they came from a ppa i thouight00:34
user0000001hello...  i just installed ubuntu 12.04, and when installing, somehow the resolution was turned up high i think, some icons on the top right got really big, as did my mouse...  i have since finished installing, and restarted and am using ubuntu, but in certain applications the mouse icon is really big00:35
sparkssthey are still stable kernels00:35
user0000001i dont know what it is00:35
sparkssaccording to kernel.org00:35
huhuyeats, bean : do you think this might help?00:35
huhuyeats, bean : do you think this might help?http://nerdbynature.de/s9y/?19200:35
dr_willissparkss:  if they messed  up or frogot an option.. it would make sence...00:35
dr_willissparkss:  or theres some config issue and its not the kernels..00:35
sparkssI mean, thousands of people are clearly having the same issue00:36
sparkssaccording to googles search indexing00:36
dr_willisive compiled kernels in the past and messed up things befor.. the fact they are 'stable' dident matter.00:36
dr_willisbasic trouble shooting  - is it a kernel issue.. or a non kernel issue..     how to test to prove one way or the other - would be the logical step00:37
user0000001...including when i am in xchat and firefox, if i hover over a link the mouse icon gets HUGE00:37
sparksshmm00:37
yeatshuhu: I would probably try something like that, yeah00:37
huhuyeats, you sure?00:38
wilee-nileeuser0000001, How about a screenshot in a imagebin.00:38
sparkssmy head hurts00:38
dr_willissparkss:  if thousands of people are having the same issue.. sounds like it may be a deeper issue then this channel may  be abble to handle.00:38
dr_willisI wonder if the kernel channel may  know more. it may be affeccting other disrtos also00:39

dystodr_willis: I thought of that too, I will try that. I just need gnome and armory, and there is a zip for armory that has all it's dependencies and a script to install them all.01:17
dr_willisthe kernel version shouldent be affecting whats shown in the 'addational drivers' tool as far as i know either.01:17
dr_willisdysto:  id just use lubuntu if its going to  be a sitting in the corner all day sort of machine.01:18
huhubean, do you know what it exactly will do after this prompt? Try to recover this directory? [Y/n]:01:18
[snake]dr_willis, I am using the latest one from kernel.org. I compiled it according to the readme. apparently the last command I used out of the three actually installed it.01:19
beanhuhu, it will try to read the dir01:19
dr_willis[snake]:  and why are you doing all this?01:19
[snake]let me take a photo of my additional drivers it used to only display my nvidia01:19
dystodr_willis: I want to have it installed on a flash drive, but not as a live system. so I can boot from the flash drive from most any machine and do offline transactions. that way I don't need a dedicated machine, just the flash drive.01:19
dr_willis[snake]:  there some special feature of the  newer kernel you need?  there are ppa's for newer kernels i belive.. but ive never needed to mess with them01:19
huhubean thx: INFO: Success!  Private data mounted read-only at [/tmp/ecryptfs.yNfwzWza].01:19
dr_willisdysto:  sounds like another reason to use lubuntu, instead of ubuntu . ;) smaller insrtall sizew01:20
beanhuhu, nice!01:20
junkNownWell here is the last 2 things that apt installed, one of which made Unity break (i can still ctrl-alt-t to terminal an open programs). I'm running a Raedon HD6950 wit prop drivers (or at least before this), and I have an i2600k processor. http://pastebin.com/SJhMSHmW01:20
[snake]dr_willis, I did not expect it to install, I was just messing around haha. the point is that I need to change back to my old kernel.01:20
huhubean wo can I thank you?01:20
dr_willis[snake]:  select the older kenrrels from the grub menu.01:20
beanhuhu, *shrug*01:21
dystodr:willis: right, I was going to use xubuntu. I like xfce. :) but I also don't want to have compatibility issues. I guess the only real difference is the interface? as long as I use 10.04, right?01:21
huhubean *how01:21
[snake]dr_willis, oh. that's convenient.01:21
beanhuhu, no need to.01:21
[snake]how do I get the grub menu?01:21
[snake]dr_willis, it doesn't really matter anymore, but here is that picture of my Additional Drivers: http://tinypic.com/view.php?pic=317b0bc&s=6 I'll google the grub thing01:22
[snake]thanks01:23
[snake]cya01:23
dystodr_willis: my initial effort was to install ubuntu to the flashdrive, uninstall all the stuff I didn't need, install armory, update everything, then I dd the flashdrive partition to an img file, tried to write it back to the flashdrive, and no love. :(01:24
huhubean, maybe a jke for u?01:28
beanhuhu, that's alright01:29
huhubean, another question: how can i find out whther i can intall the 64bit version of ubuntu12.04 on my hardware?01:30
dejavuehuhu, what kind of processor do you have?01:30
huhudejavue, sth like a 2.3 dual01:31
huhu...ghz01:31
beanhuhu, "cat /proc/cpuinfo" and pastebin it01:31
dejavue2.3 ghz dual, but what kind of cpu chips?01:32
huhubean, http://pastebin.com/KxfbfFh801:33
dejavuehuhu, amd athlon, athlon64, intel 64, etc etc01:33
huhudejavue pentiumiii i guess01:33
dejavuepentium-3 can not run a 64-bit os01:33
huhudejavue Intel(R) Pentium(R) D CPU 3.00GHz01:34
beanpentium D01:34
dejavueyes then, you can run a 64 bit, probably01:34
beanyou can.01:34
beanthats a 64 bit chip01:34
huhudejavue, bean, already d/l the 12.04 64 bit live dvd, which doesnt boot01:34
Brotoxwho's pro in irc commands here ?01:35
PartTimeLegendDoes anyone know of  ruby/c++ solution that publishes gpg public keys in a directory?01:35
beanhuhu, what error does it give?01:35
beanBrotox, not really related to this channel01:35
Brotoxi've kicked myself from my own channel, how can i get back as op ?01:35
Brotox:d01:35
dejavuehuhu, some of intel's early 64-bit chips were not very compatible, that why I said "probably"01:36
huhubean, no error, just didnt load it when i was trying to boot it, "no operating system " or sth,01:36
PartTimeLegendbrotox /j #freenode01:36
beanBrotox, usually you'd have registered the channel with chanserv, and chanserv would op you.01:36
jdelgado@brotox go to your channel, then run /chanserv op #<your chan> brotox01:36
huhudejavue. might be an early 101:36
Brotoxu rock jdelgado !!01:37
Brotoxthanks01:37
dejavuehuhu, you can try a 32-bit version, if it boots, that was the problem, if not then you have another problem01:37
huhudejavue just figured out howto get rif of this problem, thx to bean and yeats01:38
dejavuehuhu, 32 or 64 only matters if you have more than 4gb ram01:38
jdelgado@brotox No problem pal, glad to help.01:38
huhudejavue, the 11.10 32bit just booted right afterwards (livecd)01:38
dejavuethen that was the problem01:39
huhudejavue, do u have a command to show this?01:39
dejavueshow what?01:39
huhumy ram sizes01:39
dejavueit's in your dmesg output01:40
beanhuhu "free -m"01:40
huhubean dejavue, on live cd, dows it matter?01:41
beanno01:41
cajuni'm trying to install ubuntu on an older computer that isn't supporting CD install.  I did a net install from GRUB to install 12.10. However, when it loads after login, I don't get the GDM. I get the wallpaper and that's it. How can I fix this?01:41
beancajun, how much ram does the older computer have01:41
cajunI honestly don't remember.01:42
huhuhttp://pastebin.com/FiRjGqhi bean dejavue01:42
[snake]cajun, if you use ctrl alt f1 you can access a terminal. if that doesn't load then your computer is working VERY hard to display more.01:42
cajunIt used to run 9.04 just fine until I somehow messed up up during an upgrade to 9.1001:42
huhubean dejavue, so no more than 4 gb...01:42
dr_williscajun:   also whats the video  card. theres common issue/problem where compiz/unity dosent fully load due to driver issues. but a differnt desktop like Lubuntu may work fine01:42
beanhuhu, yep, 3.2 GB01:42
dr_williscajun:  if its a lower end machine. Lubuntu may be a better desktop to use anyway. You can install it via 'sudo apt-get install lubuntu-desktop;01:43
cajuni'll give that a try.  The video card is a GEForce.  Not positive of further details on it. It's probably 10 yrs old or so.01:43
dr_williscajun:  i via 'sudo apt-get install lubuntu-desktop'01:43
huhubean dejavue so a 64 bit installation is not worth it? i mean, not worth  a try?01:43
dr_willis10 yrs old? id definatly be using lubuntu01:43
beanhuhu, not really01:43
huhubean, ok. thoght i might be faster than using the pae kernel...01:44
[snake]dr_willis, would you know if ubuntu has a config file for the kernel that I could use -oldconfig when compiling with?01:44
beanhuhu, no01:44
dejavuehuhu, 64-bit only matters at all if you have more than 4gb ram. If you have more 4gb and you try to use 32-bit you will either not see all the memory or sometimes crash instantly01:44
androidfr33kI have to use 64 bit to build android roms  jeally bean (jb) needs to be built in 64 bit environment01:45
cajuni got the terminal window01:45
=== Bitencourt is now known as bitencourt
beanandroidfr33k, likely01:45
DummyBookhello01:46
dr_willis[snake]:  no  idea. ive not needed to mess with the kernel in years. i think there is some  /proc/file that shows what confoig  was used for the currently running kernel01:46
DummyBookwhere is the decaut download folder on ubutu?01:46
DummyBookdefualt01:46
dejavueyou can't just cross compile with 64 bit libraries?01:46
dr_willisbut ive  not seen/looked for it in ages01:46
androidfr33kDont always go by memory01:46
KatsumeBliskDummyBook: your home directory01:46
[snake]cajun, oh that's good. I wonder if there is a text install mode. though you might rather get the lubuntu live cd image. you're in a live cd right?01:46
KatsumeBliskDummyBook: so Downloads in your home directory.01:46
DummyBookKatsumeBlisk: thank you, for some reason mine was "hidden"01:46
androidfr33kYou have to have 64 bit install01:46
xMopxShellHi - how can I add secondary or more IPs to eth0 in the /etc/network/interfaces file? To get the same result as running `ip addr add 192.168.10.10 dev eth0`01:47
beanxMopxShell, same way, but eth0:1 as the name of the interface.01:47
cajunnope.  i can run the ubuntu 9.10 live  cd, but it just won't install. it will run in the special graphics mode though01:47
xMopxShellbean: that's a different (depreciated) method.01:48
dejavuethen I stand corrected, huhu, if you are planning on compiling android roms, you need 64 bit01:48
beanxMopxShell, not that i'm aware of?01:48
[snake]cajun, oh ok. then as dr_willis said. use sudo apt-get install lubuntu-desktop to get the lubuntu desktop. idk why I thought you were in live cd???01:48
cajunlubuntu installing now.  the term window is on ubuntu 12.10 full installation01:48
huhudejavue, nope , evn dunno ehat they do01:48
cajunit's ok snake01:48
[snake]ok cool :)01:48
[snake]:P01:49
cajunstill installing...no errors01:49
[snake]yep, that might take a bit of time cajun01:49
dejavuehuhu, if it won't boot 64, the choice is made for you01:50
huhudeajvue, thx01:50
huhuis a live cd going to hibernate after a certain time?01:51
cajuni used the livecd to get the files onto the computer so that I could perform the net install. The really strange thing is that despite burning the CD at the lowest speed, the old PC just wouldn't accept it. The "official" 9.10 live CD is accepted. I'm just so confused by all that. At least I'm getting something now. Thanks to the help of this channel.01:51

cfhowlettRallias, never seen that in ffmpeg, but I suspect it's possible.  perhaps ask in #ubuntustudio?  also note that ffmpeg is to be dropped in future.  avconv is the suggested replacement03:49
binary_glitchRallias, pragmatically or on a one-time basis03:49
[Relic]I want to wipe/zero out a whole partition of a drive does dd work for that or is there something better?03:49
Ralliasbinary_glitch, One time basis, it's for a school project.03:49
binary_glitch"i'd use recordmydesktop" she_dyed03:49
Rallias[Relic], dd if=/dev/zero of=/dev/sda103:49
Random832no03:49
Shadow__X[Relic]: you could do what Rallias suggested. It depends on how many wipes/passes you want to do03:50
Random832just cp /dev/zero /dev/sd(whatever drive)03:50
RalliasRandom832, cp doesn't work on block devices, just files.03:50
Random832dd is unnecessary, and it's slower unless you specify a block size03:50
Random832Rallias: untrue.03:50
RalliasYou sure?03:50
Random832yes.03:50
Random832I actually know the historical reason that dd is so popular for this among linux users03:50
Ralliashm... I've always heard otherwise.03:51
Random832there was a bug in an early version of the kernel that caused cp to misdetect some files as sparse files, and so copying _to_ a device would corrupt any zero block03:51
Random832from the disk image file03:51
binary_glitch@Random832, I'm game what's the 'historical' reason??03:51
Random832since then, it just got in everyone's ideas of how things are done03:51
Random832binary_glitch: ^03:51
Random832very early version of the kernel reported file sizes wrong, so cp thought they were sparse files, and _cp_ had a bug when copying a sparse file (or a file it believed it was sparse) to a device03:52
[Relic]I just wasn't sure if it would do partition rather than the whole drive since all I saw was old small HD stuff so far  :)03:53
Random832so people used dd as a workaround for writing disk images to disks, and then people kept doing it without remembering why it was done03:53
Ralliashmm... I was always taught that DD was for block devices and CP was for files.03:53
Shadow__Xthere is drakes boot and nuke DBAN that makes it easier and will write random data03:53
Random832Rallias: it's one of those things everyone does and no-one knows why03:54
Shadow__X[Relic]: ^03:54
Random832but dd is actually slower in the default case unless you specify the block size03:54
Random832since the default is 512 bytes, and cp will use 4k or 32k as appropriate to the destination filesystem03:54
Random832(i think to devices it defaults to 4k)03:54
Random832i haven't timed it, dd might be faster if you do like bs=1M, but no-one does03:55
binary_glitch"there is drakes boot and nuke DBAN that makes it easier and will write random data" Shadow_X ... I also highly recomend this... good for trashing all evidence of things too03:55
bigbadbenanyone here have experience with kernel panics?03:56
binary_glitchthough I wouldn't go as far as to say that there isn't some forensics lab out there somewhere that...03:56
Ralliasbigbadben, For really stupid causes yes... why, what's your trouble my friend?03:56
binary_glitchkernel panic... I cause them on purpose ... for the fun of it... lol03:57
binary_glitchbut I usually don't bother fixing it..03:57
Ralliasheh.03:57
binary_glitchjust when I wanna change distros...03:57
RalliasUsually when I cause KP's it's because there's no /proc in the root filesystem.03:57

Ralliasbigbadben, Are you fully up to date?03:58
bigbadbenyep03:58
RalliasDid you google your mouse and bluetooth adaptor in conjunction with the term kernel panic?03:58
bigbadbeni am using a cheap bluetooth dongle if that matters03:59
niftylettuceI'm on Ubuntu 11.10 and having issues with bluetooth, the device connects successfully, but does not show in sound manager03:59

=== blake_ is now known as bns2000
niftylettucebigbadben: if you unplug it, it kernel panics haha03:59
Ralliasbigbadben, Is it kernel panic or is it soft panic?03:59
RalliasSoft panic you can hit ctrl+alt+f1 then ctrl+alt+f7 and recover04:00
Rallias(I don't know the proper term)04:00
bigbadbenkernel for sure alt f does not work04:00
binary_glitchdrivers and moduals / deamons04:01
RalliasI guess look for a bug report, if there isn't one file one.04:01
bigbadbenI can make it happen as I please so there should be a way to log it see what is going on?04:01
RalliasCheck /var/log/*04:01
RalliasI think dmesg works, altho that MIGHT be wiped at boot.04:01
bigbadbenIf I can see what the logs say just before it happens I could probably find a solution04:02
RalliasWell, all the logs are in /var/log04:02
binary_glitch*human readable04:02
RalliasI'm thinking dmesg will probably be your best bet, it might be something else in ubuntu.04:02

binary_glitchI was saying there are other places that logs are kept, but they are not human readable...04:04
Ralliasbinary_glitch, with a bit of perl, anything's human readable.04:05

vladimirhow i do it?05:06
alakoodr_willis: yeah but dash can't find it05:06
dr_willis!identify05:06
ubottuYou can identify automatically by using your NickServ password as the server password in your IRC client. When identifying manually, do NOT send the command from a channel's tab, as a typo will give away your password. If that happens, identify and then type « /msg NickServ set password <new-password> » in the server tab as soon as possible.05:06
dr_willisalakoo:  what app?05:06
she_dyedthank god automatic is spelled correctly05:06
Shadow__XSoggy: if you downloaded the iso through bittorrent then it handles the checksum for you. if you download through firefox you can install the addon downthemall and after you start the download right click the download and click options there you can enter the checksum. after the download is done it will check for you05:07
SoggyShadow__X: ah yes well I will give this a shot and continue to try and try till I get it right05:07
alakoodr_willis: gnome system tool, you know, the pre-unity place for settings etc05:07
SoggyOh I downloaded off chrome05:07
alakooI'd like to *involve* it in unity, not return to old gnome05:07
binary_glitchdodo3773, did you know about my solution to yeahuyen's quesion?05:07
Shadow__XSoggy: before you go any further just check the checksum of your iso then go from there so you can narrow things down. you can use other apps to compare the checksum05:07

shmooni am just trying to understand something basic about filesystem type like ext, ntfs, fat. is it something hardware specific or something decided by operating system. sorry fi the question si vague.05:13
Shadow__Xshmoon: operating system and what it supports05:13
dr_willisthe hard drive dosent care what filesystem its partioned/formated to. ;)05:13
Shadow__Xshmoon: you can have ext3 ext4 ntfs  partions on the same drive but if you boot into windows you will only see ntfs unless you install driver05:13
shmoonShadow__X: so the operating system decides what file system type to use to store data in the hard disk ?05:13
Shadow__Xs05:13
dr_willisshmoon:  differnt OS's support differnt filesystems - correct05:14
shmoonok makes sense, thanks :)05:14
dr_willisif theres an OS out that supports more FS's then linux.. im not sure whata it would be.. ;)05:14
shmooncan i install windows and ubuntu into same parittion ?05:14
Shadow__Xanyone know how to fix cpufreq? http://pastebin.com/7nvmm0Wi05:15
dr_willisits amazeing how many fs's linux supports..05:15
binary_glitchshamoon, well this may not be the most approperate channel for that, un-like others, I won't shun you for asking here, rather I'd advise your find a better channel... but I'll be happy to explain what I know about the subject05:15
dr_willisshmoon:  same partition? not really. thats what partions are for.. to seperate things out05:15
shmoonah ok, thanks dr_willis05:15
Shadow__Xshmoon: afaik there is a package that will let you do that but if you want to learn about linux you can use livecds to get you started05:15
Shadow__Xshmoon: the whole operating system will run from a cd05:16
dr_willisshmoon:  typical dual boot install setup -- a windows partion,  a linux partion for /  and a partion for linux swap.05:16
binary_glitchso to expound on what has already been sayed about it ... most OS's support a range of file systems05:16
dr_willisshmoon:  you can play with linux in virtualbox and partion virtual drives  :) if you want to experiment..05:16

Lartzalinucs, It should be the opposite06:33
Bodsdalinucs: seriously?06:33
Lartzalinucs, Or maybe lack of drivers or Compiz effetcs that make it seems slow?06:33
Lartza*, or06:33
SecretFirewindows sucks06:33

BodsdaThatOneRoadie: if thats the one it complains about on boot, then yes. Remove the whole line - or comment it out06:44
ThatOneRoadiethat's what confuses me about the error. GRUB2 thinks that the UUID doesn't exist. Then it mounts the ISCSI drive, poof it exists, then it boots.06:44
linucsthat's crazy06:44
passerineSecretFire, sorry I didn't see your line before.  Yes, it is.06:44
Lartzalinucs, This is inside VM but yeah it is06:44
SecretFirepasserine : what driver should I use, maybe installing one will fix issue?06:44
linucsI don't know what to say06:45
KorbitBodsda: I can't login on that computer because it won't accept my password, so I'm on the recovery console. How can I get the output of those commands into a text file?06:45
passerineSecretFire, I think it depends on your video card.  Even then I don't know.06:45
Lartzalinucs, 45% CPU usage measured from Windows when I move a window inside Ubuntu inside VirtualBox :D06:45
kiwitinker1what's your hidden agenda bodsda06:45
linucsLinux has always been slow to me when it comes to GUI. Definitely not the HW or drivers.06:45
Lartza"Idle" is 8-1506:45
BodsdaKorbit: install pastebinit then pipe it.    sudo fdisk -l | pastebinit06:46
LartzaWHat command does list the 3D unity supported stuff etc?06:46
linucsI have no idea.06:46
ali4ever4how to know the current system statistics ? current RAM , CPU usage any thing like task manager ?! how to get to it06:46
linucsCould you try the cpu usage of moving windows in Windows?06:46
LartzaCertainly06:46
linucsmine reaches 15 % on a quad06:46
Bodsdaali4ever4: htop06:46
linucsbut it's smooth06:46
Lartzalinucs, Oh hang on it lowers all my windows ;)06:47
Lartzalinucs, Well the thing is mine is smooth on the VM too06:47
ThatOneRoadieBodsda: Let me clarify - this is a SAN Boot of Ubuntu. Grub looks like this: http://paste.ubuntu.com/5715209/06:47
LartzaNot 100% smooth due to it being virtual but06:47
linucsWeird.06:47
ali4ever4Bodsda, well installing it now by apt-get06:47
kiwitinker1why don't you just say what your problem is bodsda06:47
linucsLooks like I'm not the only one: http://cboard.cprogramming.com/brief-history-cprogramming-com/10770-linuxs-gui-slower-than-windows.html06:47
BodsdaThatOneRoadie: erm... fair enough. Good luck :)06:48
ThatOneRoadielmfao06:48
Lartzalinucs, Moving a window in Windows only makes my GPU 5% or slow more in use06:48
KorbitBodsda: apt-get gives me the error "Could not resolve 'us.archive.ubuntu.com" I don't think the recovery console is connecting to my network.06:48
ThatOneRoadieare the search commands required on Grub, or can I strip them out?06:48
Lartzalinucs, I am sporting a i3-540 hyperthreaded dual-core btw06:48
linucsSee? Used less resources than linux06:48
linucsThanks for confirming!06:48
Lartzalinucs,  /usr/lib/nux/unity_support_test -p06:49
Lartzalinucs, Yeah but it's  on a VM I'd have to run this properly to be accurate really06:49
ThatOneRoadieKorbit: edit /etc/resolv in your favorite text editor. It should be blank. Add: (no quotes) "nameserver 208.67.222.222"06:49
ali4ever4Bodsda, thanks thats very nice, well chrome browser is killing my RAM i thought it is the reason from the begining06:49
Lartzalinucs, Also no lag apart from the VM lag so that is invalid for me at least06:49
LartzaJust more resource usage06:49
ThatOneRoadieKorbit: then save it, close it, and try apt-get again06:49
BodsdaKorbit: hmm. Got some problems then. run    sudo fdisk -l | grep -i " / "   and see if it's mounted rw or ro06:49
LartzaUnity 3D supported:       yes06:50
linucsLartza, nvidia or Amd Gfx card?06:50
Lartzalinucs, Radeon HD 775006:50
Bodsdaali4ever4: by chrome browser, you meant chromium-browser yeah?06:50
linucsoh no06:50
linucsAmd is even worse in Linux06:50
LartzaThe most high-end no PSU power cable card06:50
Lartza:P06:50
linucsOpen source drivers?06:50
Lartzalinucs, Yeah but it uses the vbox driver06:50
Lartzalinucs, vboxvideo06:50
Lartza:)06:50
LartzaThis is why it's not a fair comparison06:50
linucsWell, it seems like you need really high end hardware to enjoy computing under linux06:50
ali4ever4Bodsda, well know i installed Google's chrome browser , is chromium better in RAM managment ?!06:51
Lartzalinucs, I have ran Ubuntu on a Pentium 4 and Nvidia FX5500 128mb with no lag so... no :/06:51
linucsLartza. Funny, it lags on my quad core with 7670m06:51
Bodsdaali4ever4: not but its open source and therefore makes you feel all warm and fuzzy inside :)06:51
Bodsdanot=no06:51
LartzaAlso lower than that... P3 I think 866Mhz crunchbanglinux (Ubunut-based) with Openbox and Arch with Openbox06:52
ausnahmefehlerhello everybody. is here anybody that could help me (beginner) with a simple shell script?06:52
linucsnever been smooth,. One of the many things linux is a no-go for me06:52
Bodsdalinucs: I've run a pentium3 with 256mb RAM without any performance problems using puppylinux06:52
ali4ever4Bodsda, lol thats true  :) but i wanted the same chrome experiance i had on windows :) , any idea of good browser which eats less RAM , is firefox better in this way ?!06:52
Lartzalinucs, There's something wrong about the lag you experience surely06:52
Bodsdaausnahmefehler: paste away, someone may be able to help06:52
SecretFirepasserine : does this look like the answer http://ubuntuforums.org/archive/index.php/t-1921178.html06:52
linucsLartza, Maybe too much attention to details. But I can't suffer lag, I'm sorry06:53
Bodsdaali4ever4: unfortunately, after a while, they all suck at RAM management06:53
Lartzalinucs, Yeah it's fine, I don't judge people ;) I am doomed to using Windows myself so06:53
Lartza:P06:53
Bodsdalinucs: stay away from win8 then :)06:53
ali4ever4Bodsda, well thanks a lot for the help06:53
LartzaBodsda, It's not lagging06:53
Bodsdaits not working either06:54
LartzaI have a legit Windows8 even...06:54

ThatOneRoadiejust dumped the if-else search from Grub206:54

BodsdaThatOneRoadie: how?06:55
ausnahmefehlerOk. I am doing a little shell script, lets say as an example for dd' ing a harddisk. so the command would be "dd if=xxxx and so on...." Now I wanted to create a menu, that shows me the harddisks (like fdisk -l but with less infos) (sda 320 GB for example) and that lets me choose which harddisk to take. My problem is to get the menu06:56
kiwitinker1when you add a package where is it installed to?06:56
passerineSecretFire, there's a lot there and some of it pretty specific.  I have not had much experience with X crashes or graphics drivers in general.06:56

Bodsdaausnahmefehler: check out zenity06:56
ThatOneRoadieit's moot if the drive is not local though, and this drive isn't06:56

ThatOneRoadieBodsda: My just-completed pet project: Insert a 1mb cd into any computer. This CD contains iPXE. iPXE chainloads an iPXE script from my SAN Server that loads the ubuntu drive as an iSCSI SAN Device. Grub2 Loads, gets a DHCP-assigned IP, reconnects to iSCSI SAN Drive, then passes that just-connected drive up to kernel. Kernel, without disconnecting, loads iSCSI Drive as / and boots.

Guest97352thats the trusted platform module, used for signing and passing keys along to the OS or whereever07:01
ThatOneRoadieNow07:01
ThatOneRoadietotal shot in the dark here07:01
ThatOneRoadiebut is there any way to do a full-disk encryption post-install?07:01
Guest97352Lartza: It's not really built in, surprisingly in a lot of machines07:01
BodsdaLartza: how have I not heard about this? /me is googling now07:01
LartzaBodsda, I haven't either, googled :)07:01
Lartza*hadn't07:02
Bodsda:)07:02
Guest97352Yeah it's not in many machines, you usually have a TPM connector on your motherboard if its for a workstation or server.07:02
BodsdaThatOneRoadie: not for / unfortunately07:02
ThatOneRoadiedamn07:02
ThatOneRoadieah well07:02
Guest97352You have to usually order a tpm chip to add.07:02
ThatOneRoadieI'll reinstall without touching grub later07:02
Nmbr1Bodsda/Lartza: tpm is used in many of the newer dell machines. you configure it in the bios and in the case of dell oem configs protects the fingerprint/biometric data store07:03
ThatOneRoadiefor now, I'll firewall the SAN so that only local users can access it. That way internet trolls won't portscan and futz with my drive07:03
Guest97352If you are interested, look up Intel TXT, and Secure Boot (A very controversal protocol)07:03
Nmbr1^ just 1 example07:03
BodsdaNmbr1: i've just been building some new dell laptops, and lenovo's - I;ll do some searching when I get to the office07:03
Guest97352I will say a lot of dell's I've seen in my time in the government had TPM's already on them.07:03
LartzaGuest97352, Secure boot I've heard of sadly...07:03
Bodsda+107:04
Guest97352Yeah, I'm not sure why a certfificate like that needs to be open.07:04
Guest97352Anywho my problem07:04
Guest97352I have a bootloader which has lost its transparency key, used to decrypt the drive.07:05
ali4ever4Bodsda, got to try nethogs looks like it can show me traffic per application07:05
Bodsdaali4ever4: ah, per app sorry - I don't know, but thanks for the info - I'll check out nethogs as well07:06
Nmbr1ali4ever4: you could also use something like untangle's application protocol to log/block application specific network traffic07:06
Guest97352Could a TPM revoke a key on it's own I wonder.07:06
ali4ever4Nmbr1: well i didnt get that , i am kind of new to linux world07:06
Nmbr1ali4ever4: no worries - untangle is a free hardware based firewall that is build on top of an Ubuntu core07:08
Guest97352I mean doesn't the order of the booting go from UEFI firmware - > UEFI boot management - > tpm exchange - > efi third party - > os bootloader - > kernel?07:08
=== ZzBomb1 is now known as ZzTop
LartzaGuest97352, tpm_revokeek clears the TPM revocable Endorsement Key Pair (via the TPM_RevokeEndorsementKey API). This command erases all counters (except the base one), erases the Ek, the SRK, the owner auth and any NVRAM locked to the owner auth. It does not touch the delegation tables or other NVRAM.07:09
LartzaWould that be enough?07:09
Jordan_UGuest97352: I very much doubt that your machine has a TPM (note that secure boot does *not* involve a TPM).07:09
Nmbr1Guest97352: you can also go into the BIOS and turn off/clear the tpm keys and reboot07:10
Guest97352I can't do that I've already used the tpm for drive encryption :/07:10
ali4ever4Nmbr1, Thanks will check it out hopefully without breaking down my michine :)07:10
Nmbr1if you are using biometric authethentication for the OS that is protect by tpm and you don't change the login settings you will screw yourself07:10
Nmbr1^ yep07:10
Guest97352Jordan_U: Don't jump to conclusions I installed the tpm myself, and I configured it :p07:11

ThatOneRoadiePretty much anything in our budget07:20
NotAGuestahhh, I build my own07:20
Jordan_UNotAGuest: I think that's pretty much impossible by design. TPMs are made to store keys securely, so you won't be able to just read blocks of the flash that haven't been overwritten yet like you would with a drive. I guess there is a chance that your TPM will specifically have a feature for restoring recently deleted keys, but beyond that I expect you're out of luck.07:20

dr_willisCoolCoder:  you coul dmake a   ext2/3/4 filesystem within a file and mount it via the loop back featrure.. and have some space to put stuff.. or just move unneeded stuff to the windows drives main partition08:02
snoppyDoes anybody has the same problem?08:02

CoolCoderdr_willis:  And one more thing i forgot to mention. I have very few additional files. around 3 or 3 gb max on ubuntu08:05
=== branant_ is now known as branant
dr_willisCoolCoder:  move unneeded junk over to /media/sda8  whatever that is. perhaps.. your windows drive is almost full also08:06
dr_willisCoolCoder:  your ubuntu wubi install is all on 15gb of space.. so 3ggb is like 1/5 of your total space...08:06
dr_willisi really have to wonder at how your disk is partioned.. having a sda8 is a little.. odd. you have so many little partions08:07
snoppywilee-nilee: thanks!08:07
wilee-nilee;)08:08
CoolCoderdr_wills: "your ubuntu wubi install is all on 15gb of space" this is what I am confused. I have added more space while creating OS.08:08

dr_willisCoolCoder:  if you look.. you will see that sda8 is linux formated.. but not really being used.. unless you copy stuff to it..08:11
dr_willisi dont know what you got on sda8 - but its 1/3 full.08:12
=== dan_ is now known as Guest84919
CoolCoderI dont have many stuff to copy. its all the linux files i think. I ahve been using ubuntu for some text file works. But really, can we add those spaces to the ubuntu?08:13
dr_willisCoolCoder:  you dont merge a partion into a wubi hd file...08:14
dr_willisCoolCoder:  you need to figure out what you can move over to sda8 to free up space on your  / partition.  somting is taking up 15gb of space..08:14
dr_willissudo apt-get clean, and sudo apt-get autoremove   may clean up some space.08:14
Jpmhmattnie: I grabbed cheese - the man page is worthless - any info on it - I should add I really want to do this from the command line08:14
dr_willisalso i would check /var/logs to remove any old log files08:14
CoolCoder"also i would check /var/logs to remove any old log files"08:16
CoolCoderyou need file?08:16
dr_willisif you dont have a need for the old log files, remove them. they can take up a lot of space08:16
CoolCodervar/log is empty08:17
dr_willis   thats very very weird that /var/log would be empty08:17
CoolCodersorry. not empty08:18
kewelwhat is the 'OEM install' on the 12.04 alternate install disc?08:18
CoolCoderdo u mean, i need to clear that log file?08:18
dr_willistheres dozens of log files in /var/log   see if any are very large.. and remove any old ones.08:18
dr_willisor if you want to get hard core.. remove them all. ;) but thats a little extreme08:19
CoolCoderhow to remove all log files. i dont want that08:19
dr_willisyou use the rm command.. same as you delete any other file.. 'you dont want what?'08:20
kewelnm. oem install asks personal questions upon first boot.. as if you bought it that way.  derr08:20
kewelhi08:20
dr_willisany file with a .gz or a .2 or .3 extension would be an older log file08:20
dr_willisand could be deleted08:20
CoolCoderi dont want log files so far08:20
kiwitinker1I don't know how to issue a command to start a game in console, I'm in the right directory etc..., I just don't know how you start a command to run. It's a .386 file, I have tried to look for examples elsewhere but it seems something so basic is not thought of to explain08:21
dr_williskiwitinker1:  the phrase 'its a .386' file' makes no sence.08:22
CoolCoderdr_willis: other than wubi, is there any way for dual install?08:22
vltkiwitinker1: What does `file <the_file.386` tell you?08:22
CoolCoderi mean dual boot08:22
dr_willisCoolCoder:  trhe normal install process does a dual boot setup.08:22
vltkiwitinker1: What does *`file <the_file.386>` tell you? Without "< >" of course.08:22
kiwitinker1nothing, just included it in case someone asked for some reason08:22
dr_willistheres really no need for wubi unless you CANT repartiion your hd.. which you HAVE done...08:22
dr_williskiwitinker1:  if the game name is  'foobar' you can run it with ./foobar   if the file is executable and a normal linux binary08:23
keweloff to install! later taters08:23
CoolCoderdr_willis: if i want to remove wubi and install ubnutu, can i get backup everything i have now and restore?08:24
kiwitinker1including the full stop, i.e "./"08:24
dr_willis!backup08:25
ubottuThere 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 !cloning08:25
dr_williskiwitinker1:  full stop? err.. thats the exact PATH to the file.  ./  mean 'in the local directory;08:26
dr_williskiwitinker1:  or you could do /path/to/whever/the/file/is/foobar08:26
kiwitinker1thanks, that did it, after more than an hour going no where solved just like that08:26
dr_williskiwitinker1:  it may be worth reading some bash guides.. that would have been  mentioned in an early chapter i imagine. ;)08:27
dr_willisfor security reasons the 'current directory' is NOT included in the default path.08:27

dr_willisCoolCoder:  you are confuseing terms i think...   WUBI is a special way you can install ubuntu.. its a windows intaller basically that makes a ubuntu virtual hd file..  any ubuntu disrto can do a normal dual boot.. wubi is the 'odd ball' way of doing things08:40
dr_willisCoolCoder:  i would suggest forgetting wubi even exists and never use it again.08:41
MonkeyDustCoolCoder  wubi is merely a pseudo-installing08:41

KekkeHello everyone, I have an ubuntu server running LAMP, in apaches /var/www I have sub directories with users, i.e. /var/www/kekke/www/, this www folder is owned by the user Kekke with the group sftpuser, my group sftpuser gives the users access to the folder through sftp (their home dir is set to /var/www/user/www/). But when I install joomla to the www folder, I get all files/folders as unwritable, if I manually change them to 777 it wor08:46
Kekke I however change the user owning the /user/www folder to www-data I get the correct permissions, but that makes my user unable to sftp to their dir, what do I need to achieve correct permissions on every new user I add?08:46

dr_willisKekke:  i think i saw some examples/questions/answers of doing that on askubuntu.com the other day.08:48
MonkeyDustKekke  777 is not a good idea: everyone could change anything and doing so, lock you out08:49

l057c0d3rreplace file with the file u want to edit..  may have to do full location if not in that folder09:16

kiwitinker1does anything go in front of gksu?09:17
l057c0d3rand ubuntu-gnome-default-settings09:17
dsatheah ok09:17
l057c0d3rno gksu will popup a box for root password so u have root access with leafpad to edit the file09:17
l057c0d3rdsathe, that will install gnome-shell ext09:18
kiwitinker1ok09:18
l057c0d3rdsathe, but that will not remove unity...09:18

MonkeyDust!notunity09:19
ubottuUbuntu 11.10 and higher use the !Unity desktop environment by default.  To use GNOME Shell instead, install the "gnome-shell" package and investigate "gnome-tweak-tool".  For GNOME Fallback mode, which is similar to GNOME 2, install "gnome-panel".

MonkeyDusttoyz  slacko is a puppy fork or so, I read here09:29

brontosaurusrexwell, depends on the amount of "finnish" that the distro is after09:30
MonkeyDusttoyz  30+ people in #puppylinux09:31
dr_willisPuppy linux - is perhaps one of the most odd-ball disrtos out there.09:31
brontosaurusrexactually i'd go with something that resembles osx here (mountain lion), where dhcp is default, but you can easily just type in your custom ip09:31

MacroManNeed some help with iptables. I am setting up a very simple set of rules. Allow ssh, http & https like so: http://pastie.org/7628184 but this setup locks out ssh access. Why?09:36
MonkeyDustMacroMan  looks like "drop all" is the culprit09:37
l057c0d3rmacroman i myself like to use gufw to manage my iptables09:38
dr_willisso if you only have a ssh and web server going... what is the rules actually blocking?09:38
MacroManMonkeyDust, But I'm specifically allowing ssh traffic. My understanding is that when a rule is matched it stops processing09:38
MacroMandr_willis, Blocking everything except ssh, http & https.09:39
MacroMana basic webserver setup09:39
dr_willisMacroMan:  right.. and if you dont have any other services going... so whats to block?09:39
MonkeyDustMacroMan  i guess 'drop all' overrides everything09:39
dr_willisi guess in case some rogue services get installed? ;)09:39
dr_willismisconfigured services ment for the internal network09:40
MacroManIf the rules look OK I'm thinking the port may change from 22 once I'm inside the data centre. It's a brand new server. All I've done is installed a lamp stack.09:40
MacroMandr_willis, the whole point in a firewall is to block ports you don't need open. The question should be, why not block everything else?09:43

MacroManjrib, Got the support team at the data centre checking now.10:19
thufir_mattnie: I mean, you can't just login as root.  I tried https://help.ubuntu.com/community/LostPassword  but it doesn't work for me.  I just get the login prompt, but don't know the user name.10:20
AndroUser2Thanks lukemob10:20
jrib!root | thufir_10:20
ubottuthufir_: Do not try to guess the root password, that is impossible. Instead, realise the truth... there is no root password. Then you will see that it is 'sudo' that grants you access and not the root password. Look at https://help.ubuntu.com/community/RootSudo10:20
thufir_jrib: I am not trying to get the password, I'm trying to get the ****user**** name10:20
jribthufir_: what user name?10:21
MonkeyDustthufir_  what do you mean by 'super user'? the login name?10:21
jribthufir_: ls /home10:21
thufir_jrib: exactly.  I just installed and forgot the user name I used.  hence, I cannot login as I mistyped, or something, the user name.10:21
becom33I have a issue with nvidia when I run nvidia-settings it gives me a popup saying run just run `nvidia-xconfig` as root . but when I do that again its giving me the same error10:21
GrygrFlzrthufir_, by superuser you mean 'root'?10:21
thufir_GrygrFlzr: I mean the first user you create when you install.10:21
becom33anyone for me ?10:22
thufir_I just installed 12.10 a second ago, but forgot, or mistyped, the user name which I created.  How do I find out what that user is?10:22

jribthufir_: use recovery mode or log in as guest if that is available to you10:23
mattniethufir_: or use a live cd and look up the user10:24
thufir_there's no guest.  just console.  I'm trying https://help.ubuntu.com/community/LostPassword but I just get console.10:24
dsatheone problem now , i had it even before the great purge10:24
jribthufir_: use recovery mode10:24

dsatheany solution to that ?10:25
thufir_from recovery mode, there's no /home.  let me boot again into the recovery mode via cd.  there was no /etc/passwd because of how it mounts.10:25
LukemobGuys, can anybody help me out with drivers issue, please? I'm wondering about downgrading to 12.04 if that helps..10:25

dsathecan you try 'cat /etx/X11/xorg.conf'10:26

l057c0d3rdsathe, good :-)10:26

l057c0d3rdsathe, might want to run a sudo apt-get update && sudo apt-get dist-upgrade10:28
dsathebut mpc accoutn manager was not10:28
l057c0d3rfollowed by a sudo apt-get autoremove10:29

l057c0d3rand a word of advice stay away from the pre released updates..  they WILL break stuff eventually..10:30
thufir_I'm in a mode like:  http://www.cyberciti.biz/faq/howto-boot-ubuntu-linux-rescue-mode/  and see :  device to use as root file system 1.) /dev/sda 2.) /dev/sa5 3.) /dev/dur2/root and few others.  this is "rescue mode" from a cd.10:30
dsathel057c0d3r: anyway i have to use a custom kernel , the default sucks10:30
l057c0d3rreally...10:30
dsatheatleast for me ,10:30
* l057c0d3r has no problems with the default on his setup.. but everyones system is different10:30
dsathecompile the kernel for the i7 3rd gen with the righ compiler optimisation cflags, replace cfq with bfs, and put int rt preeempt 1khz with optimisations for the processor at hand10:31
dsatheck patches ;)10:32
l057c0d3rahh yeah..  probably made it a bit snappier10:32
dsathealso for my work i need userspace cgroups10:32
dsathemuch snappier10:32
l057c0d3rdsathe, any luck with that google account10:33
thufir_I selected /dev/sda and to execute a shell in the installer environment and am at a prompt.  pwd gives / and whoami gives /bin/sh whoami: not found.  so, dunno who I am.  LOL.  cat /etc/passwd give root and installer.  I think I'm in the wrong mountpoint or something?10:33

l057c0d3rnot sure.. but i did a sudo apt-get install ubuntu-gnome-desktop-defaults as well10:34

jbates58hi all. just trying to edit my fstab file (im new to linux) and want to make sure i have it right before doing it. as i have done it before, and it wouldnt boot, and i had to re-image the OS. the string i have entered is:       UUID=<uuid of drive here> /media/Odroid \Storage \Drive ntfs noauto11:40
jbates58is that correct, i want it so that if i remove the drive, it re-mounts back to the same location11:40

simplexionjbates58, are you trying to automount a usb drive to the same location?11:42
Ben64jbates58: i'm not sure if "ntfs" works there, if you want it auto, why noauto?, and what is "\Storage \Drive"11:42
Romordrielsalut11:42
jbates58yes, but i dont want it to auto mount, as every time it does, it keeps adding an underscore to the mount point, and my download program cant see it, and i end up with /media foull of usless folders11:43
simplexion@Ben64, ntfs will work there11:43
simplexionjbates, with automount it should only create the folder while the drive is present11:43
RomordrielIs there a french guy (or woman) ?11:43
jbates58i want the drive label to be Odroid Storage Drive, so inorder to have the spaces in linux, i need to use a \ like Odroid \Storage \Drive411:43

ActionParsnipAxylus: if you put some of the folders in tempfs it can be made better but copy ing apps from USB to RAM is pretty slow11:50

r4f3why not simplexion?11:59
jbates58but when i unplug it, and re-plug it, it keeps adding an underscore to the end of the mount point. so then i have to delete tehm all, and modify the save locations in sabnzbd11:59
dr_willisjbates58:  UNMOUNT it befor unplugging it11:59
simplexionIt is physically impossible to run a 64bit guest on a 32bit host11:59
jbates58Ben64, i dont want it to go over a network.11:59
jbates58can that whole unmount/remount thing be auto, so i can just power off, and unplug and then back on?12:00
Ben64jbates58: much easier than moving a physical drive. whats the point of having a mini linux server if you have to move around devices12:00
r4f3what would you do simplexion?12:00
dr_willisjbates58:  if you power down the pc via the right method.. it will unmount it12:00
jbates58well its a headless download server, consumes about 5W at full load and runs like a trooper. i ue it to download from usenet to an external drive, and then transfer over to my pc.12:01

r4f3could we please go in private simplexion?12:02
simplexionSure12:02
jbates58it could, but its faster to remove the drive and use the usb connection. it only has 10/100 lan12:02
dr_willisyou could just have it write to the windows box directly.. and not even use a  removeable hd.12:02

ekiwoksimplexion it's possible to run 64 bit on 32 bit host via virtualbox12:04
Ben64Neptu: ctrl+c ?12:04
jbates58i understand that, but the odroid only has a 8gb sd card for the os, and then a 1tb hdd for files. i want the odroid to download them, and then transfer them to my pc. the pc sucks to much power to run 24/7, otherwise i would let it run and use sab on it.12:04
simplexionekiwok, if it runs... it would be pointless12:04
ActionParsnipekiwok: assuming the CPU allows it12:04
ActionParsnipsimplexion: not really, SQL benefits greatly fro 64bitness12:04

mattniejbates58´: what about buying a celeron nas ans let it run 24/7 and do not copy data ^^^12:07
mattnieso you can encrypt your data and you have no problem with power consumption12:07
simplexionThis: "Since supporting 64 bits on 32-bit hosts incurs additional overhead, VirtualBox only enables this support upon explicit request."12:07
ekiwoksimplexion, it is possible because it all depends ONLY from your processor12:07
jbates58because i have this already, and it uses less power than any intel (i think 5W at full load), i seriously doubt that i needencryption, and my media server is my pc, which has support for 180tb of storage. this has only support for usb external storage12:08
ActionParsnipsimplexion: if the CPU uports 64bit guest OSes it will allow you to run either, not all 64bit CPUs suppport 64bit guest OSes12:09
simplexionActionParsnip: I am aware of that. I see absolutely no reason you would run a 64bit guest on a 32bit host. Seems wasteful.12:10

Thanks for reading, and sorry for my english12:13
ekiwoksimplexion, for example when you have to check or do smth that requires 64 bit OS (fe. smth for studies)12:13

ekiwoksimplexion, you dont feel the difference, processors with virtualisation are usually really powerfull and can handle it12:17

ZenoArrowActionParsnip: Thanks for your reply. This is over a home network router.13:28
ZenoArrowI've already opened the port on the router.13:28
ForgottenEmperorhi ZenoArrow.. port problems usually are at the ssh server.. not the client, which, in your case is the windows machine13:28
ZenoArrowForgottenEmperor: Thank you for your reply too. Just to clarify, the *buntu box is the server, the Windows box is the client.13:29
ForgottenEmperorZenoArrow: yes13:30
ForgottenEmperorZenoArrow: so forwarded ports in the router should point to the ip of the linux machine13:30
ZenoArrowYes.13:31
ZenoArrowI've reinstalled openssh on the server, and have checked with netstat that it's listening on port 22.13:31

ZenoArrowForgottenEmperor: Yes they are on the same LAN.13:34
ZenoArrowjrib: Thank you for your tip. I have tried logging in using ssh localhost on the server itself, which was successful.13:35
ZenoArrowThis suggests to me the issue is with the router.13:35

James_mWhere does Firefox keeps temporary files for youtube videos (if any)?13:36
ForgottenEmperorZenoArrow: no i dont think it;s the router.. btw how are you using ssh on your windows machine? cygwin?13:36
ZenoArrowForgottenEmperor: Using PuTTY.13:37
ForgottenEmperorZenoArrow: isay i dont think its the router because the router (in most cases) does not touch or affect the intra-LAN communication13:38
ZenoArrowjrib: Running iptables -L (using sudo) I get blank tables. Does this mean the firewall hasn't been setup or something?13:38
beanZenoArrow, by default there will be no rules.13:39
jribZenoArrow: that's the default setup; it means you don't have any firewall rules (blocking ssh)13:39
ZenoArrowForgottenEmperor: Okay. I just remember setting up port forwarding on the router when I got SSH working before.13:39
ZenoArrowbean and jrib: Good to know.13:39

miksdor maybe firewall running on linux machine13:39
ForgottenEmperorZenoArrow: see the router port forwarding only comes into play when you are trying to acces your compputer ove the internet13:39
ZenoArrowIs there any way I can see (from my Windows box) whether the port is available?13:39
beanZenoArrow, port forwarding only matters if you're sshing to your public IP13:40
ForgottenEmperorcan you ping each computer from the other?13:40
ZenoArrowForgottenEmperor: Ping comes up with "Destination host unreachable", but I've read pinging local machines often results in this error (something to do with ARP).13:41
ForgottenEmperorZenoArrow: there's your problem13:41
ForgottenEmperorZenoArrow: your computers cant see each other over the same network13:42
ForgottenEmperorZenoArrow: check if both are in the same subnet13:42
ZenoArrowForgottenEmperor: How do I fix that problem? You've already said that the router shouldn't be blocking traffic on the local network?13:42
ZenoArrowForgottenEmperor: Yes, they are both on the same subnet. Client machine on 192.168.1.64, server machine on 192.168.1.81.13:43
ForgottenEmperorZenoArrow: and can you atleast pingthe router form both?13:43
ZenoArrowForgottenEmperor: Checking now...13:43
ForgottenEmperorZenoArrow : which i am guessing must be 192.168.1.113:43
ActionParsnipZenoArrow: can you ping the server by IP?13:45
ActionParsnipZenoArrow: can yo u tenet to the socket?13:45
ActionParsnipZenoArrow: did you configure a firewall on the server side?13:45
ForgottenEmperorZenoArrow: just type "ping 192.168.1.1" in the terminal of each computer (assuming your router is 192.168.1.1)13:45
ForgottenEmperorZenoArrow: if you can get the ping to work .. i m pretty sure you won't have an problem SSHing13:47

shogunrisk_Does anyone know how to fix glitchy graphics when using ubuntu 12.10 on a mac?13:54
ZenoArrowWhat else can I try?13:54
hhuook so i need to build from source13:54
ZenoArrowI tried nmap as well on the router, it listed port 22 as 'filtered'. Is this a clue to what's happening?13:55
ActionParsniphhuo: http://apt.basho.com/dists/    you could try the Precise deb, the massive clue that quantal wasn't supported is on the link you gave....it doesn't mention it....13:55
ForgottenEmperorZenoArrow: hmm so you can ping the router from both but cant ping each other.. hmm13:55
ActionParsniphhuo: did that not stick out to you...?13:55
ZenoArrowForgottenEmperor: Yes, exactly that. Bit strange eh!13:55
ActionParsniphhuo: you could change the .list file to say precise instead of quantal and it may work13:55
ForgottenEmperorZenoArrow: have you tried disabling firewall on the windows system.. also another reason might be is that the router might be implementing some sort of client isolation13:56
ZenoArrowtracert 192.168.1.81 from the Windows machine results in 'Destination host unreachable' also.13:56
ActionParsnipZenoArrow: are both systems Ubuntu based?13:57
ZenoArrowForgottenEmperor: Okay, will try disabling firewall on the Windows system.13:57
ActionParsnipZenoArrow: is the windows system connected to a VPN currently?13:57
ZenoArrowActionParsnip: The client is Windows based, the server is *buntu.13:57
* wickedpuppy would have also say vlan ... 13:57
hhuoActionParsnip: now update works, but it cannot find the package riak13:58
ZenoArrowActionParsnip: Both the Windows system and the server are only connected via a home router, no VPN involved.13:58
ActionParsniphhuo: I'd contact the site maintainers13:58
ActionParsnipZenoArrow: I suggest you reboot the router, then reboot the clients, some networking logic has broken down somewhere13:58
ForgottenEmperorZenoArrow: also u can try wiring both the LAN ports of the two computers together directly, completely bypasing the router.13:59
mattnieZenoArrow: Are they connected via wlan?14:00
ZenoArrowActionParsnip: I've rebooted both systems before. I'll try disabling the firewall as ForgottenEmperor suggested, then try resetting the router.14:00
ZenoArrowmattnie: Yes, they are connected via wlan.14:00
mattniezenoarrow: there is often the routeroption "allow clients to comunicate"14:00
ForgottenEmperorZenoArrow: well in that case.. note that a lot of home WLAN rrouters do implement client isolation14:01
ZenoArrowmattnie: I'm using a BT Home Hub router, where might I find that setting?14:01
mattniezenoarrow: sorry i don't know ^^ but maybe in e. g. "local network" "homenetwork" "wireless" "wlan"14:02
ForgottenEmperorZenoArrow: try pointing your browser to 192.168.1.25414:02
=== link is now known as Guest85583
ForgottenEmperorZenoArrow: another thing you can try that will most definielty work is put the two computers in an ad-hoc wireless network14:03
ZenoArrowI've turned off Windows Firewall. Tried doing a port scan via nmap on the homehub router, port 22 is still listed as filtered.14:03
ActionParsnipZenoArrow: also try telnetting to the socket, it will show it os listening14:04
ForgottenEmperorZenoArrow: this way you are bypassing the router14:04
boyxboy77http://xhotspanishgirls.blogspot.com/2013/04/hot-galleries.html14:04
ActionParsnipZenoArrow: if you are connecting over the LAN, then the wan port 22 isn't much use (unless you want access from outside and that is the goal)14:04
ZenoArrowForgottenEmperor: If I do that (adhoc network), wouldn't I lose the ability to connect to the Internet? Note that each machine only has one wifi device each.14:05
ZenoArrowActionParsnip: Okay, will try telnetting to the socket.14:06
ForgottenEmperorZenoArrow: well atleat you can use the ad-hoc to troubleshoot your current situation14:06
ForgottenEmperorZenoArrow: if ad-hoc works .. your routers theculprit14:06
ZenoArrowForgottenEmperor: True. Will try that after telnet.14:07
ForgottenEmperorZenoArrow:and if your router is indeed the root of the problem.. try the manufacurers website or similar source to hel you wit that14:07

ActionParsnipakan01n: then that is Gnome, with Unity shell. The fact it is running in Parallels is of absolutely zero value14:17
ForgottenEmperorakan01n: i think most vms allow you to setup virtual monitor sizes. i might be wrong.. but the problem that your screenresoultion rests at every reboot seems to me that the VM is not detecting the right sized virtual monitor at boot14:17

ArchBeOSActionParsnip: good thing i only use foss :)14:23
ArchBeOSthans14:23
ArchBeOSthanks14:23
TvL2386ActionParsnip, I think it's probably because i updated fstab after running grub-install / update-grub. I forgot it and had to reboot from livecd in order to fix... update-grub probably reads fstab and took the wrong UUID???14:24

tgm4883Kartagis, hmm, not sure then. If you were using unity, i was going to see if you could just move really fast to the other screen since there is a stickiness on the edges15:37
chilukubuntuaddicted, easy way is to use sudo chown a+w <the file>15:37
chilukthen you can delete it.15:37
ubuntuaddictedchiluk, i know that, i am speaking in terms so that I can interact with the file without having to chown them everytime I add a new torrent15:38

chilukubuntuaddicted, cat /etc/group | grep 126 and make sure your username is listed after the last colon16:25
PlastikSporkActionParsnip:  thanks for that tip though works good.16:26
chilukubuntuaddicted, assuming your user is listed in group 126 then you will have to log out and log back in for the new group to take effect16:27
ubuntuaddictedchiluk, ok, i am doing something so can't log out at the moment. thanks for your help16:27
chilukubuntuaddicted, you are welcome I hope it works.16:27
chilukubuntuaddicted, basically you need to add your user to the group that the file gets created under16:28

RageRiothello, I installed a lib and wish to remove it so I can install the latest release but I'm unsure exactly how. it is called libusb 1.0 so I tried apt-get remove libusb-1.0 but it want to remove alot of other libs as well. sorry noob at work but I gotta start some where :P16:29
tgm4883chiluk, well, depends on the group. He probably should map users properly16:29
ActionParsnipladislaw: you can use /etc/samba/smb.conf to defnie samba shares16:30
alnkpa2tgm4883: can i find the dependencies before i installed that deprecated package?16:30
ActionParsnipMonkey_b: I believe it will be able to tell you, it will watch folders for changes and gererate alerts. Check it out first, make sure its going to fit the bill16:30
chiluktgm4883, that is mapping them properly since it sounds like he's using nfsv316:30

chiluktgm4883, if you want to explain how to do it "properly" go right ahead, I figured he just wanted it to work.  That and this is not my day job.16:31

mrjoelhi guys.  Anyone got an idea on this?  When using touchscreen input on 13.04, i lose focus and can't click on anything in the unity desktop.  If I set the onscreen  keyboard program to "doubleclick," it properly refocuses on the desktop and selects the action (opening, closing something, minimize etc), but only for that one action.16:34
chiluktgm4883, It's nfsv3... if you want to do it right he'd have to implement some sort of universal user system on his network16:34
chiluktgm4883, that's not going to happen.16:34

chiluktgm4883, which is fine because he's on his NFS server which is where transmission saves it's files.16:36
chilukand he wants access to everything that transmissions saves on his nfs server.16:37
tgm4883LostInSpace, bad news, you can't get it. Looks like it's encrypted16:37
LostInSpaceI was worried that i was going to hit a brick wall on this I have to say16:37

ubottuLaunchpad bug 1099289 in unity (Ubuntu) "Touch screen stops clicking..." [Medium,Confirmed]16:39
tgm4883chiluk, I still don't think that is fine. It doesn't matter what transmission is doing at this point. If it's marking the files as owned by the transmission group (id 126), but the NFS server has www-data as id 126, he now has access to everything that the www-data group does16:39
Ari-YangI have a question, how do I accurately test my frame rate? I heard that you can't really test it with glxgears....16:39
MestreLioncan anyone please sppt why python works but dbus-send does not?16:39
Ari-YangI'm ubuntu 12.1016:39
MestreLionAri-Yang: frame rate is very application-dependent... it is better to benchmark it in the game/app you want to test16:39
Ari-Yangwhat do you mean by 'benchmark'?16:40
chiluktgm4883, true.. i'm assuming ubuntuaddicted didn't do anything stupid like just add himself to the www-data group.  since he mentioned that the uid and gid's didn't resolve to anything.16:40

ubuntuaddictedchiluk, whahhh?16:40
chiluktgm4883, which would mean that that gid is not in use on the server.16:40
chilukubuntuaddicted, read the back chat between me and tgm488316:40
MestreLionAri-Yang: so what exactly you want to measure?16:40
tgm4883chiluk, ah that is true, I forgot he said that the GID didn't map to anything16:40

she_dyedAri-Yang: am not sure if system monitor gives fps16:42

MestreLionAri-Yang: so how can you measure it?16:42
Ari-YangI'm not sure, was hoping there was another way but it doesn't look like there is16:43
MestreLionhow would it be? there is no such thing as a "system fps"16:43
she_dyedwhat about glxgears Ari-Yang16:43

Ari-Yang@ she_dyed I heard that isn't really accurate I don't think16:43
she_dyedyeh but its only effective for comapring against glxgears16:44
she_dyedlol16:44
MestreLionshe_dyed: that would measure glxhgears's fps, not the "system's" or his 10-bit video's16:44
she_dyedyes16:44
chilukAri-Yang, you can install glx-spheres from a ppa if you'd prefer that.16:44
Ari-Yanglets say I get lag on a 10-bit video in fullscreen.... any solutions of fixing that?16:45
MestreLionAri-Yang: even if it *was* accurate, it would be completely unrelated to your video playback16:45
Ari-Yang*nod*16:45
she_dyedright, onec the clip is loaded, thats it16:45
MestreLioneach player has its own fps, depending on the odec it uses, etc16:45

tgm4883Gnea, "<lalondong> i've tried everything to slow it down and make my Ubuntu faster.. but still nothings much are changed.." that isn't a question17:32
lalondongstill installing.17:32
Gneatgm4883: the question is easily inferred.17:32
MestreLiontoddaaro: disabling legacy is an option, but that usually is not required... I have a USB keyboard and legacy is on, and it works fine17:33
Gneatgm4883: also, 'everything' is subjective.17:33
tgm4883Gnea, yea, but it doesn't appear anyone asked him what his specs were (CPU/RAM/Video Card(proprietary drivers?))17:33
Gneatgm4883: there wasn't much of a need, he provided most of those details. I actually did ask about video card, but never got a response.17:33
MestreLiontoddaaro: do you have any other computer in LAN that you could use to connect to that and try some diagnosing options?17:33
MestreLionGnea: not true. lalondong said "Intel HD 3000"17:34
toddaaroMestreLion: looks like legacy setting change doesn't do anything, and yes, I could connect with something else17:34

Gneahillybilly: make my own download?17:37
tryfanGnea: through groups?  I've added the normal user to the pulse-access group17:37
MestreLiontoddaaro: and no, installer itself does not accept remote (not that I know of). Some options would be: try the "alternate installer" image, or a network boot install (so you can install remotely), or, just as a test, try a different keyboard (from another vendor, if yours is not supported/recognized)17:37

tryfanGnea: well this all worked before, but dhcp got allscrewed up and my IPs changed at the office.  so the remote pulseaudio server was at a different IP and I changed the IP in default-server in /etc/pulse/client.conf and it still isn't working17:39

toddaaroMestreLion: I suppose that could be it, I haven't made any choices though17:40
MestreLiontoddaaro: for example, I've once experienced it with an unsopported CD-ROM... it froze the installer, nothing to do with keboard17:40
toddaaroMestreLion: good to keep in mind, any particular strategy for checking this other than unplugging things?17:40
hillybillygnea:example if i download cmatrix ,,,,,,,,,,,i can make a download called hobo ,,,using deb,,,,,,,,then i can type in apt-get install hobo17:40
Gneatryfan: what a pain... have you been able to confirm that it's actually trying to contact the new IP?17:41
MestreLiontoddaaro: try other install options... instead of media on USB, try CD-ROM (if any), or "burn" the image to cd/usb in a different way (DD, in a partition, or using USB Creator)17:41
Gneahillybilly: oh, re-working the cmatrix .deb file to be called hobo.deb ?17:41
toddaaroMestreLion: ok, I'll futz around and see what happens, thanks for the advice17:41
hillybillyur welcom anytime17:42
MestreLionhillybilly: you should first learn a bit more about repositories. apt-get deals with repositories, not direct .deb downloads17:42

Perhaps iptables or your kernel needs to be upgraded.17:46
Gneatryfan: so you may need to do something like this:  mpg321 -o alsa file.mp317:46
bazhanghillybilly, using backtrack? Yes?17:46
MestreLionhillybilly: apt-get does not download arbitrary .debs. It downloads only from registered software sources. and a .deb is not "a download", it is an install package. And a local can be installed by dpkg, not apt-get17:47
hillybillybazhang yea17:47
bazhanghillybilly, thats NOT supported here17:47
stevie_manI beleive this is because nf_nat is not loaded17:47

Gneatryfan: make sure they're not muted, too17:52
tryfanGnea: I started hearing it out the speakers on the local machine, it's not sending the audio to the remote17:53

jovankbazhang:  i did19:43
jovankp0wn3d:  so i can boot ubuntu from 1 usbe and install it on another?19:44
jovankp0wn3d:  like i am installing it on hard drive?19:44
OerHeksjovank sure, be carefull selecting your usb device19:45
p0wn3d jovank: I have only done it with Linux Mint but I'm sure Ubuntu supports it also but what you would do is boot the ubuntu/mint installer DVD and then install to USB19:45
OerHeksjovank that destination usb must be 5 gb+19:45
jovankOerHeks:  it is 8gb19:45
OerHeksjovank, have fun19:46

wiehanSince I have been using linux, ubuntu that is, circa 2006/7 - the file copy dialog in nautilus has never EVER worked properly. Often (almost always) gets stuck at 100%. Especially when copying from a hard drive to a flash disk. Is it just me? Different PCs, different drives.. what the heck is going on?? tell me you peeps has noticed it as well20:06
ProtoPunkwiehan: not at all hahaha it has alwasy been working good for me20:06

wiehanhttp://goo.gl/673y7 so many people have this... the post range from years back. Even windows can copy files properly20:14
ProtoPunkwiehan: try that... start nautilus with gksu nautilus ... and try to copy the file again.. let me know if the same thing happens20:14
wiehanProtoPunk, this has been happening over many different installs and many different versions and many different versions with many different people complaining. Whether it copies properly with or with our root is not solving the problem. How will ubuntu ever reach the top spot (that which it so daringly and dearly aims for) with stupid bugs like this http://goo.gl/673y720:15

ShapeShifter499I just went through my sources, swapping them out for their "raring" versions but I noticed that the Steam package has placed a repo in there and that it is for "precise" although I had just been on 12.10 before updating, does this mean steam doesn't have a different repo for 12.10 and 13.04?20:16

MonkeyDustProtoPunk  gksudo nautilus is NOT a good idea, especially for people who are not familiar with ubuntu20:17
p0wn3dslicknick5181: It does not work out of the box. It needs to be configured for what you want.  Google is your friend20:17
ProtoPunkMonkeyDust: it is better than doing a sudo20:18
wiehanProtoPunk, I just post here in the hope that once we reach ubuntu 18.10 it might one day get fixed and we will have decent and functioning copy dialogs20:18
MonkeyDustProtoPunk  it is not20:18
BluesKajwiehan, another reason why i use KDE20:18
ProtoPunkMonkeyDust: it is20:18
MonkeyDustProtoPunk  with gksudo it is very easy to ruin your system, if ypu don't know what you are doing20:18
MonkeyDustgksudo nautilus, that is20:19
bbbbbhi20:19
wiehanBluesKaj, I respect that 100%, luckily for you KDE is aesthetically pleasing to your eyes, it is a matter of preference (sometimes form gets priority over function). I prefer Gnome. It should just work.20:19
ProtoPunkMonkeyDust: .... gksudo is better for graphic applications.... how else can you verify if the problem is with file permissions on his mounted drive?20:19
ProtoPunkif it works with gksudo it means that the problem is with permissions20:19
wiehanhttp://goo.gl/673y7 have a look at this20:20
MonkeyDustProtoPunk  yes, but nautilus as root is NOT a good idea, or any other file manager20:20
ProtoPunkMonkeyDust: he is just copying one of his files to the usb drive20:20

bekksgaby: Whats the complete output of smartctl - please provide it in a pastebin.21:06
=== Fuchs is now known as tinyfox
genii-aroundOdds are SMART monitoring is turned off in the BIOS and the drive(s) is past the point where it would normally just warn you it's starting to fail21:08
gabybekks, http://pastebin.com/6tY6546P21:08
gabygenii-around, it's on21:08
bekksgaby: Looks like a dying harddisk.21:09
gabybekks, I tried to run badblocks with a live grml distro but it was pretty full of bad blocks21:09
bekksgaby: The disk is dying soon.21:10
gabybekks, yes I'm feeling it :) Anything to try like "isolate" the bad blocks?21:10
genii-aroundgaby: Most BIOS can be set that when you boot, if the HD are reporting errors through SMART, the boot will stop and warn you, asking to hit F1 or such to continue... this is the part I meant, not whether the drives themselves have it enabled or not21:10
bekksgaby: Nope. Get a new disk.21:10
bekksgaby: It's dead, Jim, let it go...21:11
gabyhaha k thanks21:11
gabygenii-around, no, my bios doesn't allow to do that. anyway it looks like there's nothing to do to save it21:12

NET||abuseso , the menu lists "configure the logical volume manager" and "configure software raid"  but i'm not sure which i should be doing.21:51
wNNET||abuse: it all depends what you're trying to accomplish. LVM will allow you to take disks, add them to a big pool, and care about logical disks (volume) with them. these can be mirrored, striped, or just strung together21:52

wNNET||abuse: so you could use the 3rd disk for the OS, and create a mirror across the 2 disks with mdadm21:56
mac_hy all.. can someone please help me out with mixing gnome and compiz -> i would like to have, that black pastet menu into this picture of defined user session :  http://imagebin.org/254421 that black menu is from gnome log in, and there is no compiz :(21:56
NET||abusewN: what's mdadm?21:56
wNNET||abuse: or you could use the 3rd disk for os and create LVM over the two 2TBs, then create a 1TB mirrored Logical Volume21:56
wNNET||abuse: mdadm is software raid21:56
NET||abuseohh,21:56
wNNET||abuse: both will do what you ant21:57
=== otend_ is now known as otend
wNLVM would allow you to add 2 more 1tB disks and increase your mirrored LV to 2TB21:57
wNi dont think you can do that with mdadm21:57
NET||abusei think i would like to use the 3rd disk for os and keep it out of the lvm, that way i can move it out of the 4 disk interface to the extra sata interface off the mother board, when i try getting that working at some later stage.21:57
wilee-nileemac_, gnome 3 is mutter no compiz21:57
mac_mutter?21:57
wilee-nilee!mutter21:58
wNNET||abuse: you could always put it on LVM but in a different storage pool (volume group)21:58
mac_so.. is there a way to mix them?21:58
wilee-nileemac_, Another app, compiz does not run in gnome 3 in ubuntu21:58
mac_aha21:58
wNLVM is stored on the header of the disk, so as long as lvm is installed ont ehs ystem, youc an move lvm wherever you want21:58
mac_aha.. ok21:58
mac_how to gtk?21:59
esxIs there a simple (GUI) way to change the default 'Ubuntu One' folder, or do I have to edit /etc/xdg/ubuntuone/syncdaemon.conf?21:59
mac_gnome 3 - screensaver?21:59
NET||abusewN: so the machine is a HP microserver, N40L  it has a 4 disk slots normally, but the upper bay is intended for CD drives or such, but it's a second sata interface, aparently  you can't get the extra interface to work without modifying the servers bios.21:59
NET||abusewN: so for now yeh, i'll make it a seperate disk, seperate volume or whatever, then like you said, pool the other two.22:00
NET||abuseso once i make the pool of the 2 disks. can i just rock on with the install? Does LVM do the mirroring? or do you have to setup raid within the LVM?22:01
wilee-nileemac_, NOt sure waht you want nor I doubt I could help even if I did, details are important for the channel however here is the mutter man http://manpages.ubuntu.com/manpages/lucid/man1/mutter.1.html22:01
wNNET||abuse: https://access.redhat.com/site/documentation/en-US/Red_Hat_Enterprise_Linux/6/html/Logical_Volume_Manager_Administration/mirrored_volumes.html22:01

wNand22:01
wNNET||abuse: https://access.redhat.com/site/documentation/en-US/Red_Hat_Enterprise_Linux/6/html/Logical_Volume_Manager_Administration/raid_volumes.html22:01
wNNET||abuse: i would suggest reading both of those pages, then deciding if you want to do raid1 or lvm mirroring.22:01
wNNET||abuse: then there is a link on how to set it up22:01
wNNET||abuse: of course, you can just install ubuntu and configure this after its up22:02
NET||abusewN: oh goodie :) reading... i'll read those, cool. thanks so much.22:02
armlesshobohow do i burn an iso image to a usb stick?22:02
NET||abusewN: that's a good point, since i can make seperate volumes, just boot of the smaller disk, leave the other two just pooled, then configure them and add them to the mounts after the fact.22:02
mac_wilee-nilee, thank u22:02

NET||abusewn: also means i get my second monitor back once i get sshd running, back to extended desktop on my laptop.22:03
wNNET||abuse: you could even just ignore them entirely and add them to the pool later22:03
armlesshoboMonkeyDust: this does not write to a usb stick, only discs22:03
MonkeyDustarmlesshobo  use unetbootin, it's the most common way22:03
NET||abusewN: thanks, really helpful to get me started. yeh, your right, just ignore them till later.  Is there any advantage to having the small os disk under LVM in the long run?22:04
MonkeyDustarmlesshobo  correct, the factoid should be updated22:04

nemoDJHenjin: the one on which I installed the ubuntu 12.10 64 bit22:40
qumguys, any help?22:40

qumshe_dyed: well, the problem is that my monitors native resolution is 1360x768. In win it shows well, in linux it seems to be not a full screen, the launcher bar is seen only in a half and i can't see the task bar almost at all!?22:46
nilaysee i am new to this, so i dont know anything other than how to open terminal22:47
she_dyedqum you can try xrandr -q in a terminal to see what supported by the current display driver22:47
wilee-nileenilay, I'm just trying to find general info for you, and have you realize that some information is important for you to search and the channel to help. I found a earlier bug with this ethernet controller, and problems with networking. If you can get the wireless to work I would run a update22:48

nemoBoot screen is quite different then22:51
rawdiggerwhy does my ububntu 12.04 alternate cd not boot?22:51
wilee-nileenilayOn the #hardware channel they say they can take a look, post that ethernet info there as well.22:52
nemoDJHenjin: I'd enabled legacy 'cause I couldn't seem to get it to boot off USB in EFI22:52
qumshe_dyed, miksd, my native resolution isn't missing, just that isn't showing the full screen..like i wrote, i can't see the taskbar, only some part of it and i can see only half of the laucnher bar. I use the same resolution i used in win(there 1360x768 showed fine) and still it's doesn't seems right!?22:52
wilee-nileeoh well gone22:52
nemoDJHenjin: The solution is to go to settings in Windows 8, General, At the very bottom choose the option to reboot for USB and whatnot22:52
she_dyedAri-Yang: i think it keeps preferred settings in .mplaye ror .smplayer in your $HOME22:52
nemoDJHenjin: then once it reboots select booting from USB.  Once I did that, the ubuntu installer was aware of EFI22:52
nemoI tried setting USB boot from EFI in BIOS, but every time I restarted the windows boot loader was given precedence22:53
she_dyedqum and does xrandr -q show it or is it off by a few22:53

wilee-nileerawdigger, slow as possible23:31
dr_williswilee-nilee:  that script seems to do a lot of work thats not related to the 'question' posted which basically is fixed by commenting out the cd sources from the sources.list  ;)  but   it does seem to clean out potential other issues in the apt files if they get messed up.23:33
rawdiggerwilee-nilee, no need to burn slow (i guess?) its no booting fine...thx23:33
rawdiggerwilee-nilee *now23:34
wilee-nileedr_willis, We tried al but commenting it out, so you may be corect there.23:34
dr_williswilee-nilee:  as far as i know - the package managers will still work eith the cd source.. it just nags with a message....23:34
dr_willisyou tried everything except the easiest , most common fix? ;)23:34
wilee-nileedr_willis, Doh, I have run into this problem and used commands, I'm biased I guess. ;)23:36
wilee-nileeor stupid23:36
dr_willisguess you could use sed or awk to comment the line out. ;)23:36
