[01:08] rmarker, Open the sources.list and look at that line. [01:09] she_dyed- Yea, I understand the headless part and the reasoning for it, but makes it hard to get everything setup going through any how-to you find and its all going through Putty, or SSH, or some other method of remotely setting everything up.

I'm not finding anything informative about it. [01:13] thufir_, Laptop or desktop same grub, although there are different releases tied to releases. [01:14] thufir_ Any power outages? [01:16] Mio-chan, I see two windows partitions one looks to be the boot sda1 a swap and another linux partition. [01:17] wilee-nilee: the battery doesn't work, so it's always plugged in for power. [01:17] wilee-nilee: I can just copy a grub2 file I see that looks good and put that in?

I'll try to backup grub file first. http://pastebin.com/6HtgyKU8 [01:19] thufir_, Not sure about that to be honest, generally I would just purge it and reload. [01:19] wilee-nilee: any clue how to fix this [01:20] Mio-chan, Boot up what exactly, you described a arch failure, what is in the sda4 partition? [01:20] i am a newbie when it comes to any kind of linux [01:20] rmarker, NOt really other then removing that line, and figuring out the install. [01:21] so sad... so stuck..

[01:21] Sda4 and sda3 are now empty, for my future ubuntu install. [01:21] Anyway, I wish to get GRUB to boot sda 2...where windows is... :/ [01:21] juniorsa: snmp shows set metrics from devices, they provide the stats over snmp so you can only see what they offer.. so you can use mrtg just fine [01:22] Mio-chan, Right grub is in the mbr from the linux install you need to reload the mbr with the windows bootloader. [01:22] hi [01:22] Yep, that is indeed what i need to do, and I have no clue how to [01:22] NET||abuse: thanks very much I will do that [01:22] juniorsa: as a nice layout, you can use munin. [01:22] Mio-chan, Grub will work if the OS is there, you have removed it. [01:22] wilee-nilee: how do i take that line out [01:22] NET||abuse: which one is better mrtg or munin? [01:23] is it possible to run an ubuntu server install as a live CD? I made one with unetbootin but the only options I see are to install it or drop into an ash shell or check integrity [01:23] rmarker, Open it with gksudo gedit /etc/apt/sources.list that makes it read and write. [01:23] juniorsa: mrtg is simpler.. munin is a little more config, but munin creates organised set of webpages which cover multiple machines.. mrtg you have to do it all yourself. [01:23] they're bascially the same graphs though. [01:23] Mio-chan, Do you have a windows recovery or install dsic/usb? [01:24] NET||abuse: thanks very much I will give it a try :) [01:24] Mio-chan: you can switch boot order in the BIOS setup menu [01:25] how can I check the frequency of automated bug reports for a given version of ubuntu?

[01:28] does anyone know how to install OpenERP? i don't want to screw up this time [01:28] Mio-chan, If you do not use nicks it is hard to follow you, reloading the windows bootloader is easy if you have a disc do you have one? [01:29] Alright wilee-nilee, I do not have an install disc. However, I managed to boot into the windows boot manager, although it will not start Windows from there. [01:30] dang wilee-nilee, you are here more than i am lol :) [01:30] Mio-chan, Do you have a ubuntu live cd? [01:30] alright, /dev/sdc1 boot flag is on, i did mount -o remount,rw /dev/sdc1 /target/boot and tried selecting hte install boot loader option in the menu, said "no" on the prompt and entered /dev/sdc1 in the option for grub-install still getting the "Executing 'grub-install /dev/sdc1' failed."

I did it again, yes, I do Wilee-nilee [01:31] NET||abuse: dont put in /dev/sdc1, put it in /dev/sdc [01:31] Mio-chan, Run this app just the bootinfo summary and post the url given. https://help.ubuntu.com/community/Boot-Repair [01:32] she_dyed: haven't tried that since the remount, so i'll try agan.. [01:32] she_dyed: nope, still not working. [01:32] just throwing it out there, if there are people that are particularly interested in ssh on linux in general, i can help... pardon my not being quickly responsive... i have an eight year old :) [01:33] she_dyed: is it worth selecting "Continue withoutboot loader" and finish the installer process, then reboot from the usb stick in livecd mode? [01:33] Mio-chan, Also open gparted on the live cd and look at the windows partitions and make sure they show, and check the information on them for info. [01:33] does the ubuntu server disk image have a "live" mode? [01:33] I'm experiencing slowwwwnness.... Any idea how to debug it - see what's causing it ?

[01:56] edge scrolling worked just fine for months and stopped today [01:57] check it out and make since of it... thats what i would do. some how i'll bet you'll get it to work. i was so upset trying to get openCL to work on backtrack and finally did after wanting to throw the computer. [01:57] yesac__: Does two finger scrolling work? [01:57] The only thing I have done mouse related today was install wminput for a wii mote [01:57] still getting an error [01:57] two finger scrolling works [01:57] yesac__: try reinstall synaptics sometimes after any update it gets crashed [01:57] yesac__: Maybe you need to enable it in the Mouse settings. I know on my laptop I switched it from edge to two fingers. [01:57] I have set edge scrolling via terminal and gnome control [01:57] yesac__: Just making sure [01:58] I have also removed the synaptics package and reinstalled it [01:58] gMan1987: Você já tentou tirar qualquer proteção contra gravação de qualquer GMAN espada? [01:58] RileyGuy, did you try repeating the same steps as performed in that forum... you may have to reinstall [01:58] i did yes [01:58] i dont get how people get it to work flawlessly [01:58] im givin it all she's got captain! [01:58] RileyGuy: como assim tirar proteção? Eu to usando fedora aqui é meio diferente === Karbowiak is now known as zz_Karbowiak [01:59] and i am not upgrading to 12.04 or 12.10 cuz they dont have fglrx [01:59] what gfx card are you using? [01:59] ati catalyst [01:59] gMan1987: sim [02:00] yesac, i LOVE using my wii remote for my media center ;) [02:01] nightdemon666, the wiimote seems to be working fine, I have also gotten a 360 controller to work [02:01] RileyGuy: ai é que ta estranho proque a montagem automatica do systema aqui não mostra o caminho pra eu mexer. Geralmente mostra sem problemas [02:01] I will try removing the wminput package and see if that helps [02:02] gMan1987: Eu não tenho certeza então. [02:02] yesac, ah, you used the xbox360 wireless dongle.. i have one of those :P [02:03] RileyGuy: agradeço a idéia, vou mexer depois quem sabe isso resolve, testei a cam no WinXP rodou redondo, vlw a ajuda. [02:03] Thanks RileyGuy i ll try that, good luck. [02:03] nightdemon666, yep, it works with most games I have tried. except for wolfenstein enemy territory, I am still working on that one [02:04] gMan1987: yes? [02:04] tudo bem [02:04] gMan1987: tudo bem === yesac__ is now known as _yesac [02:08] can anyone help me with smtp? [02:08] Wilee-nilee, didn't work. Windows claims it has been damaged. Plan B I guess. [02:09] Mio-chan, Have you looked in gparted to see the partitions? [02:09] Yep [02:09] I have, wilee-nilee [02:09] i have a sorta old box with a package "libmemcached4" installed. i'm trying to installing on a new 10.04 lucid VM, but there's no packages with that name! anyone got any ideas? [02:09] Mio-chan, What do you see? [02:10] RileyGuy, check out http://facepunch.com/showthread.php?t=1160456&page=71 i suggest you go through that and make sure you have toyed with the recommendations. apparently there is a concern with case sensitive filesystem organization. hence why a common fix is renaming files... JFS seems to be consistent with relative fixes regarding your "could not load library client" error. [02:10] kk [02:10] Wilee-nilee: sda1 is pretty much empty. sda2 is nice and filled, it's where my windows files are. sda3 is empty, sda4 is empty. [02:10] Wilee-nilee: Boot flag is also set to sda2 [02:11] Mio-chan, So the sda2 is not showing as unallocated? [02:11] i dont even play games often on any system lol so i never have the greatest recommendations, but i can google the heck out of anything ;) i should be a certified googler :P [02:11] Wilee-nilee: Correct [02:12] Mio-chan, So is plan b the lilo install? I wonder if windows needs a chkdsk, have you kept it in good order, defragged and chkdsk's so often? [02:13] Wilee-nilee: Yes I have. I believe the reason of all of this is that I've wiped the MBR on accident. [02:13] hi, is it a good idea to apply the infinality font patch to ubuntu? would it create a better font rendering than what is already provided with ubuntu's own font patches? [02:13] Wilee-nilee: Yeah, Plan B is lilo install. Plan C is getting a windows iso and repairing it. [02:13] I have an executable... and I can't run it. Says "permission denied". My user owns it, and I chmod 777'ed it. It won't even tab-complete. [02:14] moi-chan, mind if i chime in? whats the cut and dry on your situation? [02:14] Mio-chan, When the script showed syslinux in the mbr, lilo should work, the bootrepair may just be the files in the OS. [02:14] I never use the bootrepair however it is quite popular Mio-chan [02:15] nightdemon666 - after wiping arch (after a failed install), Windows fails to boot, and I've also tried to install Ubuntu, and it fails to detect Windows as well. [02:15] echinos_: where is it? [02:16] Mio-chan: Have you tried using the Windows install disk to reinstall its boot loader? [02:16] Mio-chan: I know the commands if you need to do it. [02:17] Mio-chan, yep, sounds like a mbr hose or windows bootloader hose... i would make a windows recover disk, and repair via command line that way. just my experince with it. [02:17] Mio-chan: That may fix your problem with Ubuntu not seeing Windows. [02:17] KatsumeBlisk: my computer did not ship with a disk but I'm in the process of writing a windows 7 iso to my usb. what are the commands? [02:17] hi! i just want to ask.. i have a android phone and i want to change to ubuntu OS, this is possible? [02:17] fixmbr: http://www.sevenforums.com/general-discussion/17521-how-fix-mbr-through-command-prompt.html [02:17] echinos_, try ls -l /path/to/exec/file and see if you actually have the rwx for it [02:18] Mio-chan: So you go to a command prompt (i don't remember the exact way) via repair and "bootrec /fixmbr" and "bootrec /fixboot" should reinstall the Windows boot loader. [02:18] boydoym like ubuntu on the phone? [02:18] nightdemon666: yep [02:19] Mio-chan, yeah! what KatsumeBlisk said! :D [02:19] I'm thinking it must be something wonky with the binary [02:19] although I think I've experienced this before with something else [02:19] nightdemon666: are you talking about my mbr commands? lol [02:19] nightdemon666, KatsumeBlisk: here goes nothing. my laptop was refusing to boot off of usb earlier. [02:20] KatsumeBlisk, yep... i hosed a windows os from booting before, and so i did basically what you recommended via a recovery disk :) [02:20] anyone know how I could go about making ubuntu email me when a directory is created in a certain other directory? [02:20] Mio-chan, Here is a link the bootrec /fixmbr may be all you need, however there are rebuild commands as well. http://pastebin.com/6F7D34Uf [02:21] Yes [02:22] boydoy, #ubuntu-touch [02:22] boydoy... so, supposedly, yes, but im sure certain devices are supported and some les than others. i hear its still buggy and a PITA so if i were you, i'd hold off on the ubuntu on phone thing untill bugs get worked out... unless of course you plan on helping make it beter [02:22] thank you wilee-nilee [02:23] boydoy, Yeah the touch and a desktop is available, however in development. [02:23] K, figured it out [02:23] not trying to steer peoples form using ubuntu on mobile devices or anything :P [02:23] would it help to apply infinality font patches to ubuntu? [02:23] the dir is on a second partition, and it's mounted noexec [02:24] ok thank you.. [02:24] echinos_, well now your problem makes since lol [02:24] thanks anyhow, helped me work thru it [02:24] do ya'll think that Ubuntu will ever support Nvidia Optimus drivers : \ i cant stand this dual gpu grahics [02:25] ninjalac: Do you use the dedicated GPU? If not, I'd recommmend disabling it in BIOS and not worrying about it at all. [02:25] you cant :( [02:25] ninjalac: I assumed you could [02:25] ninjalac my bad [02:25] thanks np [02:25] but 12.10 is alot better than linux mint i must say [02:26] makes me want to load a flash drive with 12.10... need to chatch up again [02:26] *catch [02:26] lol [02:26] if you have a slow computer, and you install a kde app, do all the extra libraries that are installed slow the computer down? [02:27] semitones, by slow, you mean... CPU? RAM? [02:27] ls [02:27] oops [02:27] lol [02:27] i have a slow computer running kde, and what makes my computer slow is when ram gets used up. [02:27] umm... [02:27] although, i must say, kde takes up more ram im sure than lets say,,, lxde [02:28] nightdemon666: Yeah. I think KDE is "slow" only because of RAM. It's fast on any modern computer. [02:28] new pc can handle kde now right ? [02:29] semitones: It depends on the app. Does it want KDE libraries or Qt? [02:29] ninjalac: Yeah. I ran it fine. [02:30] ninjalac: did you see the nvidia optimus news recently? http://www.phoronix.com/scan.php?page=news_item&px=MTM0NzE === security is now known as megha [02:30] i hope it is good news lol [02:31] zykotick9 is that out now ? [02:31] zykotick9, Hehe nice pic of linus, lol. [02:31] ubuntu rox [02:32] zykotick9 wilee-nilee I'm pretty sure Linus flipping off nVidia is the defacto image now for Linux nVidia articles. lol [02:32] ninjalac: ? i don't really know the details, i just remember reading about nvidia making optimus drivers finally (was that /. perhaps?) [02:32] yep thats it [02:32] any of you guys into wayland or do you think Mir will be king? [02:32] KatsumeBlisk: I'm trying to come up with general things to avoid to keep a fast system. Are KDE libraries heavier than Qt? [02:33] wilee-nilee: that's become a famous photo for sure. ;) [02:33] semitones, if you want to use kde on an old pc thats fine, just know that ram will get used up faster than with a more light weight DE like LXDE. however, i seem to get more out of my PC by adding the vm.swappiness line to my /etc/sysctl.conf file and setting it to 0. however, i recommend you read up on that too, but i do notice that basically the OS seem lesser likely to swap with that seting thus less ram used up aft [02:33] if you want a fast system, you should use Arch... not ubuntu [02:33] semitones: It depends. People saying using KDE apps on GNOME or vice versa are slow, but it's only really a problem when they use KDE libs or GNOME because that brings in a good chunk of the DE itself. [02:34] gnome libs? [02:34] semitones: It'd be better performance-wise to use just Qt/GTK apps [02:34] gtk != gnome? [02:34] semitones: Both KDE and GNOME have libraries that are extended off of Qt and GTK respectively. [02:34] semitones: kde uses qt... just sayin' [02:34] semitones: Nope. Gtk stands for GIMP Toolkit actually. [02:35] semitones: GNOME is just the biggest DE (besides Unity now) that uses GTK. LXDE and Xfce are other DEs that use it. [02:35] there is no response in #ubuntu+1 [02:35] !ask | Guest19753 [02:35] Guest19753: 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 [02:35] !patience | Guest19753 [02:35] Guest19753: 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/ [02:35] Guest19753: Sorry. wrong command. [02:36] Alright. Wilee-nilee, I got windows on a USB. Although, my laptop won't boot off of it now...so, uhh.. [02:36] semitones, well, from my experience using old computers, kde is the heaviest, hence QT/KDE apps considered "heavy" then gnome, then xfce, then lxde, then really light "nearly pointless to have a DE" flux box. [02:37] ninjalac, This is PPA has nvidia use at your own risk. https://launchpad.net/~xorg-edgers/+archive/ppa [02:37] Mio-chan: you might be able to boot off of it using PLoP [02:37] nightdemon666: Ok, thanks for the advice! [02:37] 13.04 amd64 and ati radeon hd 2400 will not install [02:37] Mio-chan, Are you familiar with the boot from menu not in the bios? [02:37] Mio-chan, your BOIS does allow you to boot off of USB right??? the MBR of the harddrive shouldnt be holding you back on USB boot or am i off target here!? [02:38] nightdemon666, it does, I've done it earlier today. However, it is not even showing the USB in the boot order. [02:38] this is the log file when i run the .run file downloaded from the ATI site: http://pastebin.com/m91iNE4k [02:38] Mio-chan: Do you have multiple USB ports? Try another one. [02:39] Mio-chan, holy crap! i bet thats why you can boot via USB? its shown usb in the boot order before? are you sure the usb has boot flag? you have a another computer ot troubleshoot right? [02:39] nightdemon666 - just tried my other USB slots. Not working. [02:39] is there anything 100% safe lol [02:39] usb's don't boot from the bios at times there is another bot menu [02:39] Nightdemon666 - I'm on my linux box atm. [02:39] Mio-chan van use Plop, it will load a USB driver before anything [02:40] can* [02:40] Mio-chan: do what she_dyed and I have suggested. :) [02:40] Mio-chan, How did you load the usb? [02:40] would anyone care to help me install a display driver ? [02:40] Mio-chan, i dont know about those other suggestions, but if baffles me that you are tryingot get a very basic thing to work.. i'd point the finger at the BIOS at this time. you need the BIOS to recognize the usb drive [02:41] oh sometimes it shows as 'removable' === daniel is now known as Guest25631 [02:41] THERE IS ANOTHER BOOT MENU OUTSIDE THE BIOS GEEZ [02:41] nightdemon666 - I agree with you on this point. The USB mounts on my desktop just fine....my laptop on the other hand, BIOS does not see it. USB does light up though [02:42] wilee-nilee: Take it easy. :) [02:42] KatsumeBlisk, You guys are not giving a great bit of help here. [02:43] wilee-nilee: How is suggesting something else besides BIOS to load the USB drive not helping? [02:43] Mio-chan, are you sure that it isnt being registered as another internal harddrive.. ive seen that before too. have to go in the BIOS and actually tell it to boot from the second generated "internal drive" thats actually the flash drive. [02:43] nightdemon666 - Good suggestion although I've actually tried that. Just my physicalhard drive. [02:44] KatsumeBlisk, Many have problems with the bios not booting, this other boot menu works, suggesting plop and other things are not logical, no one had =s confirmed the usb is correctly loaded or suggeted this other menu. [02:45] wilee-nilee, i assume you are refering to the typical F12 key when you say boot menu.. correct? [02:45] yes [02:45] Mio-chan: what kind of bios? [02:45] and a correctly loaded usb [02:45] well, Mio-chan says the BIOS isnt even seeing it. stuck until thats resolved :/ [02:46] Guest19753 - stock BIOS on my HP laptop. Pavilion g7. Nothing fancy. Just a boring BIOS. [02:46] nightdemon666, So plop and using another computer will fix this. [02:46] does the usb show up in OS? [02:46] wilee-nilee: I consider the F12 menu part of BIOS. [02:46] wilee-nilee, so thats the other thing.. totally correct! i'll bet the flash drive isnt properly set up as a boot device thus BIOS over looks it... [02:46] Guest19753 - Yes USB shows up ony mother computer [02:46] KatsumeBlisk, It's not [02:46] wilee-nilee: So my suggestion was valid because I assumed it wasn't showing up in that menu. [02:47] wilee-nilee: How is it not? [02:47] KatsumeBlisk, It is outside of the bios. === FreakingTea is now known as starmeleon [02:47] Mio-chan, Anyway you are being led by to many with bad advice best of luck. [02:47] Mio-chan, you are trying to boot what OS off of USB again??? sorry, its way up the lines of chat :P [02:48] wilee-nilee: What is your suggestion, oh masterful one? === starmeleon is now known as FreakingTea [02:48] KatsumeBlisk, putting you in ignore lol [02:48] KatsumeBlisk, im personally not offended.. im here to learn too [02:48] nightdemon666 - Windows 7. I tried it with Ubuntu and it didn't work either. Luckily I had a spare LTS CD. [02:48] nightdemon666: He's trying to boot Win7 so that he can restore its boot loader so that Ubuntu will see it. [02:49] oh masterful one who did not read the screen in the bios that says "F12=Boot menu" [02:49] is this of any help? http://h10025.www1.hp.com/ewfrf/wc/document?cc=us&lc=en&dlc=en&docname=c00364979 [02:49] din: precisely [02:49] KatsumeBlisk++ ;) [02:49] is recovery CD for win 7 not an option??? [02:49] nightdemon666: His computer didn't come with one. [02:49] thats how i fixed my wifes computer.. same issue [02:49] i know, but you can make one [02:49] nightdemon666: Most computers come with recovery partitions nowadays. === Yakko_ is now known as Yakko [02:50] Guest19753 - Did most of those things. Will try resetting to default settings. [02:50] Can anyone or does anyone in here able to suggest a channel where I could get help in understanding some of the basic logic to vpns and what not? (it does not have anything to do with ubuntu) thanks :) [02:50] aaand no luck. === Liam- is now known as Liam-away [02:50] crash1hd: perhaps #networking [02:50] dr_willis, thanks :) [02:50] Mio-chan, i suppose the recovery partition doesnt work then right? [02:50] join #networking [02:50] doh lol [02:51] nightdemon666 - Let's just say MBR and recovery are toast. The only thing that is surviving is sda2 which is where Windows is...but well, without anything else I can't really boot into Windows. I did try lilo, that didn't work. [02:51] nightdemon666 - and to top off my nightmare, now BIOS doesn't like me. === daniel is now known as Guest75181 [02:52] Mio-chan: there are windows 7 rescue/recovery cd images you can download/burn - i saw some info on them at the lifehacker web site a few months back. [02:52] ah screw lilo.. i have a philosophy fix window with windows, and linux with linux... if you have a blank CD laying around make a win 7 recovery disk... i'll find the link [02:52] dr_willis: He tried that. [02:52] dr_willis: He can't boot the USB [02:53] err.. these were cd's [02:53] Mio-chan: problem is windows not booting? [02:53] I had the same issue. I used Super Grub Disk to boot into Windows, iirc [02:53] dr_willis: ISOs. I assumed he wrote the ISO to a flash drive. [02:53] http://neosmart.net/blog/2009/windows-7-system-repair-discs/ [02:53] Just arrived, what can I help you with? [02:53] Mio-chan: And you'll need a DVD, not a CD to burn it. [02:54] Guest19753, correct. dr_willis: that's what I tried. Burned to my USB, although my comp now refuses to boot from USB, even though it did a few hours ago.. [02:54] KatsumeBlisk - Oh no. I ran out of clean DVDs xD [02:54] not true following this link.. you can use a CD http://neosmart.net/blog/2009/windows-7-system-repair-discs/ [02:54] Mio-chan: http://www.tomshardware.com/news/win7-windows-7-mbr,10036.html [02:54] Would running apt-get upgrade cause my crontab file to be removed? [02:55] Freeder: i wouldent think so [02:55] nightdemon666: If those are repair and not install, that may work. I assumed we were talking about full install discs because that's all I've seen. [02:55] Freeder, shouldnt.. they shouldnt be releated [02:55] nor I, heh [02:55] most all my services stopped, and my user preferences all reset [02:56] KatsumeBlisk, naw. i totally screwed up my wifes computer messing with dual boot, and had to use the win7 recovery disk to bail it out. worked like a charm, just had to look up a few commands. [02:56] there were errors in the upgrade though, not all packages went through [02:56] Freeder: the apt package system shouldent be touching stuf fin your users home at all. [02:57] nightdemon666: Yeah I haven't seen just recovery disks. Granted, I don't focus on Windows stuff. :P [02:57] Mio-chan: are you able to burn a CD? [02:57] dr_willis: s/shouldn't/doesn't/ if it does, that's one BROKEN package [02:57] Freeder, then perhaps cron was affected??? you need to try making the OS fully instal all upgrades [02:57] Guest19753 - Yes, I am able to. I have a stack of new CDs :) [02:57] zykotick9: ive noticced that 'steam' is a little weird.. but i think its actaully the steam binary thats altering the users home. not the package manager. ;) [02:58] KatsumeBlisk, i usually dont either but wife had to start using windows when she started school. so i had to take ubuntu off too free up space. but in the process tried braking things too. such is life :P [02:58] dr_willis: steam... no comment ;) [02:58] Mio-chan: install ubuntu from CD on a free partition and it will find Windows and make it accessible from grub [02:59] Guest19753: This is why we're trying to recover Windows. Ubuntu doesn't see it [02:59] Just installed Ubuntu 12.04. Why do I get a screen on reboot asking me hw I want to boot? ie. Ubuntu 3.5.0-23-generic, recovery mode etc? [02:59] although i must say, i think the system isnt recognizing the USB in the BIOS because the USB drive isnt properly set up for booting or BIOS got messed up (unlikely) [02:59] Sach: That's the boot loader. Just pick the top one. :) [02:59] im not sure that ubuntu even looks for the windows mbr. it would see the windows partition and set that up. [03:00] Is there a way to listen to itunes streams on the internet? [03:00] Mio-chan, you are using the same usb drive you have booted from before correct? [03:00] !grub | sach [03:00] sach: 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 [03:00] KatsumeBlisk: thanks, but why do I get the bootloader? [03:00] Sach: thats what boots the os and lets you controll the booting process [03:00] Guest19753 Guess I'll try that. Nightdemon666: Yes, correct [03:01] Sach: It gives you options to choose which operating system to boot. Windows has one too, but it's hidden when you only have one version of Windows on your computer. [03:01] Sach: 'grub2' gives you a nice menu and various options. such as vbooting other Os's it may have found. [03:01] Mio-chan: have you maby by accident deleted some files or f...ed up your win partition? [03:01] does anyone here use qbittorrent? [03:01] Guest19753 - I know for a fact I f...ed up the MBR [03:02] it should not mater [03:02] mbr is now grub? [03:02] Guest1973 - Though, I never touched sda2 [03:02] dr_willis: when I installed ubuntu on a different laptop, I didn't get this boot menu. Why is that? [03:02] Sach: Do you still have Windows on this computer ? [03:02] Sach: you did have grub2 on it.. if you only had one os on the laptop.. it hid grub by default. [03:03] sda2 is where windows is? [03:03] Mio-chan, i believe if the MBR is messed op then the grub booting windows option would not work no? [03:04] nightdemon666 - I tried using lilo and it failed to boot into Windows, Windows Boot Manager did come up, though Windows itself did not boot. [03:04] Grub installs itself to the MBR of the HD.. that then hands off to booting the other os's. it replaces the windows MBR [03:04] dr_willis is correct [03:04] thanks, dr_willis [03:04] dr_willis then what I did, was wipe the MBR of the HD. [03:04] the windows repair cd's with the fixmbr, and fixboot commands would replace grub with the windows mbr. [03:04] if grub is there mbr is not fucked [03:04] Mio-chan: If you could post the output of fdisk -l it will give us a better view of the problem [03:05] Hey, is there an issue with samba (as usual) - I have setup samba shares on one of my ubuntu machines, but when i try to access it from another machine. I have errors when i provide my user and passowrd [03:05] well, i know everyone here is trying to help you get linux to help windows, but seriously dude, URL: http://neosmart.net/blog/2009/windows-7-system-repair-discs/ worked for me... just saying... again :P [03:05] Mio-chan: paste it on pastebin and then post the link here =] [03:05] brwolfgang: http://pastebin.com/efr7TStc [03:05] dr_willis: is it possible that by installing ubuntu, I wiped out the hidden Windows 8 boot files? [03:05] laterz [03:06] Mio-chan: thanks [03:06] I see the Windows partitions are still there [03:06] Mio-chan: you are in ubuntu now? [03:06] no boot flag [03:06] Mio-chan: on the same computer [03:06] ? [03:06] Sach: ive never used windows 8 - so no idea how it does things. [03:07] Guest19753, brwolfgang: dev/sda1 is empty, along with 4. 3 is swap. ON the laptop I'm on a live cd. [03:07] Mio-chan: As i said i arrived late =], what's your problem? [03:08] brwolfgang: So, after trying to install arch, I accidentally wiped out my HD's MBR. Now, I can't boot into Windows, nor can I install Ubuntu - Ubuntu returns "ubi-partman has crashed" [03:08] got it [03:08] my computer (xubuntu) randomly locks up. Here's some relevant logs: https://gist.github.com/jab416171/5409690 [03:09] ok install ubuntu on sda1 and windows will most probably be back in grub. just be careful and manually choose the right partition sda1 for ubuntu and leave swap as is [03:09] Mio-chan: I guess the same solution I use to reinstall GRUB after a Windows install will work for you [03:09] Hey, anything to do about a GPU hang or something like that [03:09] Mio-chan: I'll give you a link to a tutorial [03:10] brwolfgang: Thank you. [03:10] Mio-chan: Here it is [03:10] Mio-chan: https://www.evernote.com/shard/s22/sh/db1f2856-55c0-4cde-94f1-7b2bbe097e25/f1515dae3e09c86994025d98b37bd82c [03:11] Mio-chan: There are three different solutions, try each one of them [03:11] i am part of the avahi group but despite the group permissions being rws I can't delete the folder [03:12] Mio [03:12] Mio-chan: I hope you'll fix it, then come join the Arch community [03:12] Mio-chan: We'll be waiting for you =] [03:13] Mio-chan: http://www.supergrubdisk.org/ [03:13] brwolfgang: Thank you. Haha :) [03:13] Guest19753: Will look into that if brwolfgang's steps fail. [03:14] Anyone? [03:14] rdm: there was a split. what's your question? [03:16] Mio-chan: Rescatux found on link above is the simplest solution to check if windows is intact [03:17] what puzzels me is the partition error you mentioned [03:18] Sorry, not sure if anyone replied. It froze for the 40th time tonight and I had to hardboot. GPU Hang.. [03:18] hi all, a simple question to ask, how can I know "who has switched to root account via sudo or su on my linux box?" thank [03:18] rdm_: what's the deal with your video card? [03:18] I don't know? It's just a laptop? [03:19] Mio-chan: You're going to fix Ubuntu to after that install Arch? [03:20] Mio-chan: when you install ubuntu and manually set partition choose sda1 as you said, then make it the root folder-> / and ext4 [03:20] Okay, back - brwolfgang - I can't even install Ubuntu. My primary goal right now is to fix the MBR and Windows. [03:20] Brwolfgang - Anyway, I mounted sda2 via my livecd, and all my files are intact [03:20] shu there should be some logs in /var/log about what sudo is doing.. it has logging features. [03:20] However, I still can't boot it xD === pie is now known as Guest57381 [03:21] Mio-chan: You could jump straight to Arch linux installation "install GRUB" step, it never failed me to fix GRUB issues [03:21] you could do a ubuntu instggall to a spare usb flash drive.. and its grub should see the windows partions and boot them.. if they are correctl.. of course if the issue is windows is missing files needed to boot. then grub wont help. back to the windows repair type cds.. [03:21] Mio-chan: you can install ubuntu. se previous comment from me. are you sure you made right settings when manually setting it up for partition? [03:21] Mio-chan: just saying =] [03:22] Guest19753 - the install partition function simply won't work. xD [03:22] brwolfgang - I'd do that, except, well, I can't boot off my USB, where Arch was :( [03:22] rdm_: try single-user mode === Termana is now known as Guest25511 === benkong2 is now known as _benkong2 [03:23] Mio-chan: What a bad luck [03:23] I'll try that, but I don't have more than one user enabled? [03:23] Mio-chan: You can rewrite the Instalation Media's contents to USB using dd on your live environment. [03:23] Mio-chan: Rescatux->http://www.supergrubdisk.org/ it will find windows if it is not fucked [03:23] rdm_: well, if it's hardware, that won't work, and if it's GUI or something, you'll be able to step through and/or reconfig from the command line [03:23] sorry language [03:24] rdm_: single user mode doesn't have anything to do with how many users you have [03:24] I don't know what it is. It happens every 60 seconds or so. I have to click report, It's annoying. === kessyus is now known as will_hunting [03:25] Guest19753 -> Doing that right now. :) [03:25] good good [03:25] Haha, rescatux is my last hope. After that, I'm gonna go ask one of my friends for a spare Windows 7 CD [03:25] rdm_: this is something you do at boot [03:25] do you get to GRUB? [03:25] Luckily, I'll be able to save all of my Windows files. [03:25] yes, i have been there more than one time :P [03:26] So, at least I didn't obliterate all my files [03:26] Forgive me for being stupid. I did the windows installer. When the computer boots. I just select Ubuntu [03:26] ms has official repair/recovery cd iso images you can dowload.. [03:26] rdm_: you used a WUBI instgasll on windows 8 ? [03:26] Windows 7. My machine is 64bit, if that matters [03:26] ok. ;) windos 8 and wubi are not on good terms.. but WUBI is best avoided anyway === raj` is now known as raj [03:27] bbl [03:28] Guest19753 - and let the burning begin, to the CD.. [03:28] :) [03:28] rdm_: i think i don't know your question [03:29] If this works, first thing I'm doing is fixing my messy partitions before I install any linux distro again xD [03:29] rhizmoe, I'm not sure either. I'm sorry. I just keep getting told that I've had a GPU Hang, do I want to report it. I do.. but it's every 60ish seconds. [03:30] Mio-chan: You're patient. We've been going at this for quite some time. :) [03:30] while running windows? [03:30] I don't think windows is running. [03:30] dude. [03:30] Mio-chan: make windows the first partition and leave the rest empty for ubuntu to install on [03:31] can anyone here help with setting up openvpn? [03:31] KatsumeBlisk - Well, I really have no other option. Plus I've tested several video games + unstable distros, so I'm kind of used to thinks breaking. This time, it just happened that I f---ed up with the MBR [03:31] things* [03:32] he he [03:32] Mio-chan: if u have a windows cd u can boot into recovery mode and fdisk /mbr [03:32] huttan - I WISH I had a Windows CD :( Should be required imo. [03:32] convict: I would like to learn that, too [03:32] Mio-chan: good sport, i am very unpatient :P === Liam-away is now known as Liam- [03:33] Mio-chan: other option would be to boot up on an ubuntu cd and fix ur grub [03:33] I setup br0 and eth0 in /e/network/interfaces, only br0 gets an IP address for some reason so I can't connect to the local network. [03:33] if I give br0 the actual IP to the network it will work, but I can't access local machines on lan through the vpn for some reason [03:33] Guest19753 - alright, booted into Rescatux [03:33] does it find your windows? [03:33] convict: do u have a route for the whole x.x.x.0/24 ? [03:34] huttan, yeah, i mean eth0 won't even take the IP address for some reason [03:34] it's not using dhcp, it just disregards whatever is in the interfaces file it seems [03:34] convict: i had this problem sometime, i used the guide to set it up and it worked [03:34] convict: i manually edited /etc/network/interfaces, ubuntu wouldnt pick it up [03:35] the guide is not helping much at all [03:35] convict: mind pastebin ur interfaces file? [03:35] Guest19753 - Which option should I take? Rescatux or supergrub2 [03:36] Mio-chan: try super grub first [03:36] *supergrub [03:36] huttan, one sec [03:36] it should find windows and let you boot in to it [03:38] Mio-chan: any luck? [03:38] convict: cat /etc/network/interfaces |pastebinit [03:38] Guest19753 - Yeah. It got me to the Windows Boot Manager, which is harassing me for a Windows Disc that I don't have xD [03:39] well you could find a torrent [03:40] a non hacked one [03:40] Guest19753 - Well. My BIOS refuses to boot off of USB, which I had a windows 7 iso on that, aaand to make things worse, I don't have any clean DVDs [03:40] Guest19753: There are plenty of ways to download one legally, but it won't boot off of flash drive. lol [03:41] ah.. [03:41] i see [03:42] but if it worked earlier with the usb? two options: you have destroyed the usb stick or you have made some wrong settings in bois [03:42] bios [03:42] Well, I'll guess I'm out of luck. I could ask my friend who's a computer tech who is bound to have a Windows 7 disc to lend it to me, riiight? [03:42] I reset the BIOS settings haha [03:42] Is it common for ubuntu to drop the wifi connection randomly and the not be able to see the AP unless you reboot? [03:43] GRIM-butt: no it is not. :) [03:43] huttan, have to restart sec [03:43] Crap, is there a fix for it? [03:44] GRIM-butt: as KatsumeBlisk said, its not common. Are you operating on the 2.4mhz band or 5mhz? Have many bluetooth devices? Perhaps an older portable phone operating at 2.4 as well? [03:45] huttan, http://paste.ubuntu.com/5717731 [03:45] had to disable br0 [03:45] embed-ns: No on everything you just said. Im sure its something with the latop cause all the tablets and other laptops are fine... [03:46] And by all I mean the two other tabs and the two other laptops. [03:46] GRIM-butt is your wifi device a broadcom chipset? [03:46] Its an acer aspire one [03:46] yeah, that's the one, operates better with b43 module (at least I think that's what it was) [03:47] How would one go about that? [03:47] I looked in /boot/grub and couldn't find the grub file I see on boot. where is it please? [03:47] embed-ns: There are tons of aspire ones, so how do you know which wifi module it has? lol [03:47] Im under the impression at this point EVERY thing is on braodcom [03:48] Katsume, heh, I don't actually know, but that aspire is one I had lots of trouble with broadcom. [03:48] GRIM-butt, gonna need the output of lsmod [03:49] Ok, I REALLY appreciate the help. But lets pretend I have NO idea what youre talking about :) [03:49] Im a NEWB NEWB to linux [03:49] huttan, you there? [03:49] How do I get you the output of lsmod? [03:50] GRIM-butt: type "lsmod > output.txt" in the terminal, open that text file, and post the output to pastebin [03:50] Mio-chan: this might be of interest: http://cybernetnews.com/windows-7-recovery-disc/ [03:50] KK thanks [03:50] Guest19753: He disconnected [03:50] GRIM-butt, did you say you have an Acer Aspire One? [03:50] ok [03:50] redrocket: One of them. lol [03:51] Anyone have success with linux and apple thunderbolt display? [03:51] Hello good people [03:51] Yes redrocket [03:52] GRIM-butt, I had that problem on mine for a bit. After I fixed it 4 YEARS AGO!, I got rid of it. :) [03:52] hehe [03:52] apparently, acer aspire one is a "known entity" [03:52] http://pastebin.com/PwehmRZh] [03:52] embed-ns: It's a popular series for netbooks. I had one. I loved it. [03:53] I love it with ubuntu, when it hadXP it was slow as hell [03:53] GRIM-butt, I'm kidding you. Though it was very "finicky" if I remember correctly [03:53] Mine came with Win7. Mine was not like most netbooks. :) [03:53] We should stop talking about Aspire Ones in general. It's off topic. :) [03:53] KatsumeBlisk: I type this on an acer aspire (not a one tho) [03:54] embed-ns, indeed. [03:54] now off to fix the hell out of it for GRIM-butt! [03:54] YAY! [03:54] yep, this is the one that uses those shitty atheros drivers [03:55] ^^ [03:55] Of course it is :) [03:55] but b43 can work, but its been awhile, I think its in the restricted drivers? [03:55] Of course I have the shit one [03:55] lol [03:55] Could someone help me? I am trying to build this application: Google VocProc. In the build instruction it says it has dependencies. One of which is "fftw3". I have tried to install "fftw3" but it tells me this: "Note, selecting 'libfftw3-3' instead of 'fftw3' [03:55] " when I ran sudu apt-get install fftw3. How can I get "fftw3" installed? VocProc requires it and "libfftw3-3" is apparently insufficient. [03:55] GRIM-butt, you have problems with the light not working on the switch front right I'm guessing? [03:56] Well its orange right now [03:56] Not green like I remember it being [03:56] GRIM-butt: are you operating on this wifi connection right now? [03:56] Yes [03:58] well you could try rmmod ath and then insmod b43 (but not sure if it will exist, if it fails then just do insmod ath) [03:58] you will lose connection [03:58] Can you explain that as step by step [03:59] rmmod ath [03:59] insmod b43 [03:59] if that craps [03:59] insmod ath [03:59] all that done in terminal === tomlol is now known as tom [03:59] and if you completely lose it, just reboot [04:00] Ok here goes nothing [04:00] btw GRIM-butt what kernel version are you running? [04:00] I couldnt possibly answer that [04:01] type uname -r in terminal [04:01] Error: Module ath is in use by: ath5k [04:01] yeah, the cascading modules are going to be a problem. [04:02] Oh good [04:02] GRIM-butt: do you know how to disable networking? [04:02] how would I verify that a file exists then copy it to my bkup directory? [04:03] Up by the clock? [04:03] stevenb: if you try to copy it and it doesn't exist, it'll tell you [04:03] stevenb: ls myfilename > dump [04:03] stevenb: then open the text file. [04:03] k [04:03] Uncheck enable networking correct? [04:03] GRIM-butt: yep, right click disable. So, you could try doing that before issuing those commands, don't forget to re-enable after the commands [04:04] Can you PM me the list of commands again [04:04] There are so many parts and joins [04:04] Sorry if Im asking too much :( [04:04] GRIM-butt, Some irc clients allow you to block those [04:05] Yeah Im using Kvirc and I know I can, i just dont want to get involved with that atm === Guest86721 is now known as Catachan [04:13] Yesterday my password stopped working. I rebooted into the root recovery console and remounted / as rw. When I try to use passwd to change my password I receive the error "Authentication token manipulation error". Permissions of /etc/shadow and /etc/passwd match what I've seen online. I tried pwconv to rebuild the /etc/shadow file, but it doesn't seem to do anything. How can I fix my password so that I can log in? [04:17] No good [04:17] Korbit: what is: ls -l $(which passwd); [04:17] Korbit: check permissions on /etc/shadow check the date check you mounted / as read/write [04:18] Oh well looks like im boned [04:18] Biggity boned [04:19] Kvothetech: permissions on /etc/shadow are -rw-r-----, date and time are correct, / is mounted as rw [04:19] trism: I'm sorry, I don't understand what you're asking. [04:20] Ill look into it tomorrow. Its late and I need sleep. === aeon-ltd_ is now known as aeon-ltd [04:20] Korbit: the most command reason for the error is passwd isn't setuid [04:21] Korbit: I wanted to see which passwd is in your path, and what the permissions were [04:21] Korbit: err, command = common [04:22] trism: -rwsr-xr-x on /usr/bin/passwd [04:22] Korbit: yep that's fine, no idea then [04:23] /etc/passwd shows -rw-r--r--, should it be the same as /usr/bin/passwd? [04:23] hello [04:23] Korbit: nope those are correct [04:23] trism: ok [04:30] hi [04:31] <[_-S1L3NC3-_]> Hey, how would you on a website open up MIRC when visiting a webpage? [04:31] anyone can help me about VGA driver in ubuntu 12.04 [04:33] The like gnome bars are missing from my ubuntu [04:33] any clue [04:34] it just shows the desktop icons [04:34] new info? adduser fails to add a new user due to the same error as passwd: "Authentication token manipulation error" [04:37] Korbit: did you change your computers name recently? [04:38] zykotick9: no, still the same as it's been for the last 2 years. [04:38] how install intell Graphic VGA HD 3000 in ubuntu 12.04 [04:38] GTAXL, unity desktop? [04:39] Korbit: ok (flip side) did you change your hosts file recently then? [04:39] zykotick9: not unless a recent update did it. I haven't changed anything manually recently [04:40] Korbit: ok, just checking. best of luck. [04:40] zykotick9: thanks. Hopefully I can get this fixed without having to resort to format/reinstall [04:42] not unity [04:43] GTAXL, Can you give so details, what the desktop is, and what has led you to this. [04:43] some* [04:44] I believe it's gnome3, panels always worked before. [04:44] token manapulation error - seen that if / is mounted read only Korbit [04:44] Korbit: Are you still in the recovery shell at the root prompt? [04:44] I did update the system to 12.10 [04:45] recovery console does mount / read only i belive [04:45] rob_p: um... I'm logged in as root, not quite sure if that's separate from the recovery console [04:45] Korbit: mount -rw -o remount / and then use the mount command to verify that / is mounted rw... [04:46] dr_willis: I have already remounted / as rw [04:46] Korbit: Did you verity that / is indeed mounted rw? [04:46] GTAXL, to add to the top panel you need the gnome-shell extensions [04:46] rob_p: yes, I am able to create edit and save files. [04:46] Korbit: the mount command will tell you... [04:46] Korbit: Ok... [04:47] rob_p: mount also confirms / as rw [04:48] Korbit: and your /etc/shadow is mode 640, right? [04:48] rob_p: yes [04:49] Howdy [04:50] hiddy hoo [04:50] On another note, what irc client can I use that will let me hide channel entry/exit messages? I'm currently using pidgin because that's what was installed. [04:51] Korbit: Does the user account name in /etc/passwd match *exactly* the user account name in /etc/shadow? [04:51] Korbit: most can do that [04:51] Korbit: pretty much ANY actual irc client can do that (pidgin isn't an irc client) [04:51] Anyone have any experience with thinkpad x61 and enabling automatic screen rotation? [04:51] pidgin has a plugin for ir i recall [04:52] dr_willis: it an IM client, that can do IRC (just not well ;) [04:52] i recall it havi g a plugin to hide part/joins [04:53] dr_willis: ahh, sorry. missed your origional meaning there. [04:53] why would my mouse be making small circles by itself? [04:53] The web IRC has the option to show/hide the joins/quits [04:54] rob_p: somehow I lost the /etc/shadow file (probably when I ran pwunconv), but after running pwconv /etc/shadow is back and the user name does match (didn't check the hash). passwd still throws the same authentication error. [04:54] weechat has "smart filters " for parts and joins [04:55] hexchat and xchat blocks as well [04:56] i have a wireless hp mouse and keyboard, why would the mouse be making small circles when i am not touching it? [04:56] how would i copy a file with only one space bar? [04:56] ihtting the space bar once* [04:59] Korbit: pwconv doesn't recreate the passwords for each account although it will recreate /etc/shadow. I thought you had to recreate account passwords after running pwconv... but I guess if passwd is throwing token errors, you're stuck! I'm running out of suggestions at the moment... [05:00] thisnick: what? [05:00] rob_p: thanks. yeah, I've tried everything I found on google at this point and I'm afraid the only thing I can figure out to try next is format/reinstall. I really don't want to do that even though I was able to make a backup copy of /home/. [05:01] Hey guys, after installing pure-ftp-mysql i setup a AltLog option and i keep getting permission denied on the file where ever it is with all permissions on the file? [05:01] I am trying to find a function definition in a library source, but I don't really understand how librarys are made and I am not finding the definition anywhere, I have tried grep and cscope [05:02] Korbit: I wouldn't go that far yet! There's a solution...take it as a challenge to figure it out! :) [05:02] Korbit: Some of the best learning I've ever gone through is by NOT just formatting/reinstalling when strange and obsure problems came up... [05:03] Hello, I got kismet to work but only when I am connected to an access point. Using Ubuntu 12.04 64bit. I have card details if needed. [05:04] Korbit: You'll figure it out if you persist...I get the feeling that you're pretty comfortable with the inner workings of Linux so don't give up! [05:04] rob_p: I hope I am able to find a solution, I don't want to run crying to mommy (rm -rf /). [05:04] Korbit: :P [05:04] as satisfying as that would be. [05:04] rob_p's point is exactly what i have experienced myself. its a pain in the arse but the best learning [05:05] I have been on the kismet ubuntu support thread and many people have issues with kismet.conf [05:07] I even tried making a new user, just to get back to limping, but adduser throws the same error as passwd. [05:07] I can't find the checksums for 12.10. anyone know where they are? [05:08] !hashes [05:08] See https://help.ubuntu.com/community/UbuntuHashes for the md5sums of all downloadable Ubuntu releases [05:08] thanks [05:11] well, at least I'm not without my movies. All of those are on an external drive and most of them can be played on the RaspberryPi. [05:14] Korbit: Does /var/log/auth.log have any clues to your issue? [05:16] rob_p: there only seem to be entries for root logging in and out. === Liam- is now known as Liam-away [05:18] /var/log/auth.log.1 seems to have a lot more entries in it. I'll see if anything sticks out in there. === alainus is now known as alainus[-_-] [05:21] Hello [05:21] want please ask the question about ubuntulog [05:21] i can also run this? [05:21] Does anyone know how to calibrate the wacom screen on precise pangolin? [05:22] rob_p: "PAM unable to open dlopen(pam_gnome_keyring.so): /lib/security/pma_gnome_keyring.so: cannot open shared object file: No such file or directory" That seems significant. [05:22] rob_p: followed by: "lightdm: PAM adding faulty module: pam_gnome_keyring.so" [05:24] Korbit: Strange... [05:25] rob_p: those lines get repeated occasionally all throughout the log file (oldest entry is april 7), so I'm not sure if it's a symptom of a larger issue, or directly related to my inability to login. [05:25] Korbit: I wonder if PAM is hosing you... Just a guess, but maybe you need to update the PAM authentication method. [05:26] Korbit: Can you run pam-auth-update [05:26] rob_p: classic PAM. [05:26] Korbit: Try running that and selecting your method of authentication for your system... [05:27] hello [05:27] rob_p: yes, but I'm not sure what should be selected. there are 3 entries, Winbind NT/Active Directory authentication, [empty line], and ConsoleKit Session Management [05:29] does anyone know a tool that would help me orginize or take fully control of my routewr:P? [05:29] Korbit: You are looking for Unix, unless you are specifically using one of the other methods...It's a standalone box and uses local authentication, I presume? [05:29] rob_p: only the first and third entries were marked, so I tried marking the middle (blank) entry, and that didn't seem to do anything. it was unmarked when I reopened pam-auth-update [05:31] hello [05:31] yea XD o have 1 really good router , but the configuration and stuff its a mess [05:31] rob_p: yes, standalone. There are only those 3 entries listed. I tried unmarking the Winbond entry and now I don't get an error from passwd, but it also doesn't ask me to enter a password. That doesn't seem right. [05:31] can someone help me [05:31] *Winbind [05:31] where can i find the tarball for libgtk1.2-dev and libgtk2.0-dev [05:32] Korbit: There should be one for Unix. You can select others, but that one is crucial for local authentication via /etc/passwd /etc/shadow... [05:32] winblind XD? ill get on it XD [05:34] rob_p: yes, it seems odd that that isn't listed. I don't think that would be related at all to my computer running a dualboot with Win7. The specific distro I'm using is Lubuntu 12.04 64-bit. Could that be the source of the difference? [05:35] I want remote desktop over internet between two ubuntu systems, please help [05:36] jony: vnc? [05:36] !vnc [05:36] VNC is a protocol for remote desktop. https://help.ubuntu.com/community/VNCOverSSH describes how to use it securely. It works best over fast connections, otherwise look at !FreeNX [05:36] Korbit: I don't think so. But it's strange you don't have that option...What happened initially to cause your problem in the first place? Did you do an update or install any software. what were your actions leading up to it? [05:37] I'm running Unity on 12.04. How do I save my window layout (xterms and other programs) so they will be preserved when I reboot? [05:37] rob_p: I think I did do an update earlier in the day. I discovered the issue when I tried to add a repo and couldn't sudo. How can I check what was updated and when? [05:37] aeon-ltd, I need some kind of VPN like hamachi [05:37] mrdavid, Are they not being saved? [05:38] wilee-nilee: no [05:40] ok in a cli only install, is there a way to determine what a usb drive is listed as so it can be mounted? like hdx, or sdx, etc [05:41] truexfan81, sudo fdisk -l [05:42] Korbit: I usually just browse the logs: /var/log/dpkg.log and /var/log/apt/history.log [05:44] Can someone please step me away from the ledge of a reinstall? [05:44] Pulseaudio is so mad at me. [05:44] I just want to reinitialize it to see if I can resolve my issue. [05:45] rob_P: K. Looks like I updated curl, samba, libc-bin, libpam-winbind, and some related dependencies to those programs. [05:46] Korbit: libpam-winbind, hmm... Weren't you getting some PAM errors related to winbind? [05:47] I want remote desktop over internet from ubuntu to ubuntu, please help [05:47] jony: https://help.ubuntu.com/community/VNC [05:47] Korbit: Are you using nonstandard repos? [05:48] how do I start with debugging unity? [05:48] Korbit: You mentioned that you were trying to add another repo and that's when you noticed the issue... Just curious if you had previously added a non-official repo in the past... [05:49] Korbit: 'Cause that's always risky and often leads to issues like these... [05:49] rob_p: I do have some ppas active, but they are are for userapps like handbrake and steam. I can't remember if I'm using the X ppa or not, I think that was the repo I was trying to add. [05:51] Korbit: Well like I said, you take the integrity of the system in your own hands when you introduce third-party repos. It's not always a bad idea but caution should be taken... [05:52] look in /etc/apt/sources.list.d to see what pppas are enabled [05:53] i have like 2 routers and i dont know what to do with them any advice:P? [05:54] starkiller: thats a little vague. [05:54] i paid like 19 dollars for them XD i dont wantem to fo to waste XD [05:55] starkiller, good deal on the routers.. thats cheap [05:55] stick them in a closet for xmas gifts later..... [05:55] i'll buy one off u for 15 [05:55] aeon-ltd, TY [05:55] mine is crapping out.. and cheapest one around here is 45$ [05:55] dr_willis: I have ubuntu-x-swat-updates-precise, steam, google-talk, pcsx2, stebbins-handbrake-releases-precise, gnome3-team-gnome3-precise, and ehoover-compholio-precise (which is netflix-desktop) [05:56] xswat is the x drivers ppa [05:56] Korbit, yeah yea.. i have all them but x-swat [05:56] Korbit: By chance, your / partition isn't full is it? I assume not, but thought I'd ask since others have reported passwd manipulation errors when their / is ful. [05:57] rob_p: that is a very good question. I don't think it is, but how do I check that from the cli? [05:57] Korbit: df -h [05:58] rob_p: / has 147GB used of 470GB total. [05:58] wait.. korbit.. when i tried to install hanbrake it wanted to remove a bunch of stuff.. like netflix.... rythbox.. ext.... did you have any of these issues [05:58] Korbit: rules that out! :) [05:58] sigh... sorry i know you have a question of your own you are trying to get answered... but since you mentioned it thought i would ask === Kitar|st_ is now known as Kitar|st [05:59] actually i missed out on what exactly your problem was.. maybe if you repeate it i might be able to help [05:59] l057c0d3r: I have not had issues with handbrake and netflix, but I did install handbrake first [06:00] l035c0d3r: I can't login, and using passwd throws the error "Authentication token manipulation error". The usual fixes are not able to resolve it. [06:01] Korbit, but u can log in on the tty1 cli prompt? [06:01] l057c0d3r: no, can't login anywhere. I can only access the system from the root recovery console. [06:01] oh... [06:02] hmm.. let me see what i can dig up [06:02] Korbit, Assuming you remount as rw? [06:02] how do i check if my grpahics card is working even tho i installed no drivers? [06:02] have you tried changing the users password in the recovery console.... [06:02] and loging back in [06:02] l057c0d3r, ... Really?? [06:02] wait... [06:02] let me think about what im saying really fast.... [06:03] l057c0d3r, Sleepy time? :D [06:05] http://packages.ubuntu.com/quantal/all/ipxe/filelist - assuming I can wget the .deb, how can I extract the files so I can get at /usr/lib/ipxe/ipxe.lkrn ? I want to put write a script that will put it into /boot [06:05] kinda... just got off work.. worked a long 12 hour day [06:05] Lartza: yes, and I've checked the permissions on /etcv/shadow, /etc/passwd, and /usr/bin/passwd. all of those are normal [06:05] hi [06:05] Korbit, Have you changed your password recently? [06:05] l057c0d3r: I know how you feel. I was at school from 11-21:00 and only got about 4 hours sleep last night. [06:05] Lartza: no, using the same password as I have been since I built the system about 6 months ago [06:05] wait.... [06:06] from what im reading here you can change the password from the recovery console.. u just have to make sure the filesystem is mounted read/write.. by default it is mounted read [06:06] l057c0d3r, ... [06:06] :D [06:06] what [06:06] I asked, he has remounted [06:06] Permissions checked [06:07] l057c0d3r: yes, but / is mounted as rw (this has been verified multiple times and ways) [06:07] Korbit: did you try to create user? [06:07] isn't there a "change password" option on the recovery menu? [06:07] Password not changed so timestamps should not be corrupted [06:07] oh.. sorry missed that part of the conv as well [06:07] shcherbak: yes, adduser throws the same error as passwd [06:08] Korbit, Have you checked /var/log/auth.log [06:08] Or does that have to be enabled hmm... [06:08] wait are you using a shadow file [06:09] have you trie wpconv? [06:09] err pwconv [06:09] Lartza: yes, there is nothing directly relevant around the time of the error, but there are a couple PAM errors that repeat occasionally over the entire log. [06:10] l057c0d3r, What purpose would pwconv serve? [06:10] l057c0d3r: yes, I tried pwconv and pwunconv [06:10] well say his shadow file is corrupt or missing.. [06:10] it will remake it [06:10] which in some cases fixes the issue [06:10] and sadly he already tried it.. ok lets think some more [06:11] "PAM unable to open dlopen(pam_gnome_keyring.so): /lib/security/pma_gnome_keyring.so: cannot open shared object file: No such file or directory" [06:11] followed by: "lightdm: PAM adding faulty module: pam_gnome_keyring.so" [06:12] Those are repeated occasionally throughout /var/log/auth.log.1 [06:12] Korbit, Have you manually checked walidity of the passwd and shadow files? [06:12] username, timestamps, general unmalforness :) [06:12] And that the username exists on both [06:13] Lartza: I have looked at them and nothing looks obviously wrong, and my username exists in both. [06:14] Korbit, Do you have likewise-open, libpam-sss or libnss-sss installed [06:14] Lartza: I do not [06:15] hi all [06:15] Hello [06:16] any idea where ubuntu saves the different application screen capture to show on alt+tab [06:16] anuj in /tmp [06:16] maybe not really sure though [06:16] but seems like a good place for something that is not needed after reboot [06:17] Pictures? [06:17] thanks l057c0d3r [06:17] Are they even pictures? [06:17] one more thing what is the format for saving the image with window id [06:18] k.. not really sure what you want to konw [06:18] and i run gnome-shell with an extension for alt-tab.. so im sure mine is different [06:18] hello, what does this error mean that I get with his media player? X11 error: GLXBadFBConfig [06:18] [gl] Could not create GLX context! [06:18] unless u are running it to :-) === dziegler_off is now known as dziegler [06:19] i want use that image which ubuntu capture, to show for alt+tab [06:20] here's my glxinfo if it helps.... http://pastebin.com/raw.php?i=63vPHjRm [06:20] Ari-Yang, Are you using CUDA or something? You might need the closed drivers or select another output [06:20] I'm on ubuntu 12.10 [06:20] not what CUDA is... so that error means I need a newer version of opengl? [06:20] Ari-Yang, What drivers are you using? [06:20] * not sure what cuda is [06:20] atm open source driver [06:21] not the proprietary one (fglrx) [06:21] Ari-Yang, do you have the restricted extras installed [06:21] Yeah you could need newer OpenGL [06:21] is there a way of updating it on the open source drivers? [06:21] Ari-Yang, That's weird though... but closed drivers could solve [06:21] Ari-Yang, No [06:22] @ l057c0d3r not sure what you mean by "restricted extras" [06:22] Ari-Yang, Is this a sudden problem? Like what are you trying to do and has it worked before? [06:22] s it music or video you are trying to play [06:22] l057c0d3r, Video obviously... [06:22] what format... [06:22] hmmm.... might be stuck with it. fglrx drivers suck really bad, get loads of tearing. @ Lartza no it's always been like this [06:22] obviously [06:23] mkv h.264 [06:23] i use the flgrx drivers from amd website.. no tearing here [06:23] l057c0d3r, Whyyy?? [06:23] wy what... [06:23] lucky..... but I get tearing [06:23] use the ones from there website [06:23] Ari-Yang, Don't even try the AMD site drivers [06:23] because of steam [06:23] I did [06:24] l057c0d3r, Ubuntu has the latest ones so, not sure what you gain from that [06:24] @ Lartza yeah fglrx so far is horrible for me [06:24] raelly [06:24] l057c0d3r, Oh hang on fglrx... [06:24] Sorry I was thinking of nvidia, fglrx could be begind [06:24] so anyways, there's no work around? [06:24] ari-yang i would make sure ubuntu-restricted-extras package is installed [06:24] and try a player like vlc [06:24] no vlc is horrible lol [06:25] Ari-Yang, What player are you using? [06:25] no.. vlc rocks... it supports.. almost everything [06:25] I'm using a fork of mplayer called mpv-player [06:25] Ari-Yang, Okay then try changing the output method [06:25] @ l057c0d3r I've tried vlc, sorry, not bothering with it :V [06:25] I am not sure if there's... [06:25] and what does ubuntu-restricted-extras do? [06:26] adds support for avi.. mp3 ext ext ext.. adobe flash...... [06:26] Install packages you don't need... [06:26] Probably [06:26] dvd playback [06:26] yeah, sounds like something I don't really need... [06:26] Ari-Yang, http://packages.ubuntu.com/quantal/ubuntu-restricted-extras [06:26] Everyone: thank you for your help. I'm going to call it a night and get back to trying to fix this authentication error tomorrow. [06:26] That doesn't actually list all the packages... I think [06:26] Hmm [06:27] yeah it leaves some things out on it === zz_Karbowiak is now known as Karbowiak [06:28] Ari-Yang, mplayer -vo help [06:28] yeah I know of that command and the available output drivers [06:28] None work? [06:29] That can play 264 [06:29] vdpau, opengl, xv, opengl-old, x11, null, image, and opengl-hq. the problem isn't being able to play 264, I can play that just fine. I want to know if there's a work around that glx error [06:29] so far, it doesn't look like there is :V [06:30] Ari-Yang, Have you tried regular old mplayer? Maybe your fork has some fancier gl output plugin [06:30] :) [06:30] the reason why I'm asking is because with opengl-old I don't get that error, and I don't get minor tearing at all, but I get lag. with opengl and opengl-hq I get some tearing and that error... [06:31] yeah I have tried mplayer, I actually have mplayer2.. with mplayer2's -vo gl output, I get the same result with opengl-old [06:31] guess I'll continue experimenting with diff outputs [06:32] http://www.opengl.org/wiki/Tutorial:_OpenGL_3.0_Context_Creation_%28GLX%29 ---> would this help me? j/w [06:32] Yeah I am sorry I am not of much help since I always use the closed drivers due to stuff like this and 3D acceleration ;) [06:33] same here Lartza.. closed drivers.. fixed settings in amdcccle [06:33] tf2. h-l.. skirim.. bluray movies.. all play great :-p [06:34] sorry its my bedtime... [06:34] good luck everyone.. hope your problems get fixed soon [06:34] l057c0d3r, Though I use windows for gaming since Linux lacks... [06:34] :/ [06:34] Doomed to Windows [06:34] na.. gaming is moving up in linux... [06:34] Yeah but the games I play don't work [06:34] and with netflix app.. i no longer have windows.. but this is a conv for offtopic.. and im hading to bed [06:35] mind sending me screen shots of your catalyst control settings? [06:35] night l057c0d3r [06:35] Ari-Yang, make sure anti-alis is all off.. [06:35] and there is an option somewhere in there to fix screen tearing [06:36] yeah the vsync option doesn't work, I enabled that [06:36] firstthing I did [06:36] I know of the anti-alias settings.... I /might/ have turned that off too [06:36] i had to turn off all anti-alsi because it really messed up my pcsx2 emu [06:36] maybe I'll test fglrx again [06:37] truexfan81: it's a command, in /sbin again [06:37] wrong channel but ok lol [06:38] truexfan81: sorry about that [06:40] i have a hp wireless mouse and keyboard, i use ubuntu 12.04lts but my mouse is making jerking circles by itself, how can i fix this?

[06:56] joshs have you ruled out battery issue? [06:57] i think so, it is fairly new and had batteries when i bought it [07:00] might have the batteries thanks! [07:00] is it an optical mouse? [07:01] i think so [07:01] mine does that if i use the wrong patterned surface sometimes [07:02] Hey folks. I need to make a Ubuntu install for a Linux gaming rig setup. If I install 12.04, am I likely to run into compatibility problems with newer versions of games?

I'm trying to chmod a all dir's sub dir's and files in a directory but not the directory it self. I've done a bit of research and I've found two commands: "chmod -R 777 ." but this chmod's the root directory, and "find . -type f -exec chmod 655 {} +" but this does not chmod any directory or sub directory. Could I change one of the two commands to chmod all files and sub dir's but not the root dir? [08:41] james9821: ps aux | grep programname [08:41] james9821: or use top or htop [08:41] Nisroc tip: 777 is not a good idea, anyone could change anything and lock you out by doing so [08:41] MonkeyDust: it's just place holder [08:42] Nisroc: the type f in your command will only change files [08:42] Nisroc: you could run it again with type d to chmod directories [08:42] thanks, iĺll try also, thanks for the ideas [08:42] Nisroc: find . -type d -exec chmod 655 {} + [08:43] 655? odd [08:43] who knows [08:43] histo: so I could do find . -type f d -exec chmod 655 {} + and it would do both files and directorys? [08:43] Nisroc: yeah you could do find . -type f and -type d -exec chmod 655 {} + [08:44] Nisroc: that should work I haven't played with find operators like that but you can read more in the man page for find === TheRainbowDawn is now known as Dawn_ === flames is now known as flam3s [08:44] cheers histo [08:44] Nisroc: if not run them seperate [08:45] Nisroc: actually that won't work that will test that it's a file and directory [08:45] Every time when i restart ubuntu, it starts in default screen resolution 1024x768. And every time i have to change it to 1440x900 in terminal using xrandr --output VGA1 --mode 1440x900. [08:46] Can't i make this change permanent? [08:46] Nisroc: let me play real quick hold up [08:49] I can't seem to boot live cd without acpi=off. nomodeset causes a kernel panic and nouveau.blacklist=1 does nothing. Checked iso md5 and live cd works fine in VM. PC uses NVidia GeForce G105M. Using acpi=off blocks the wifi, hardware switch doesn't work. acpi_osi=linux and acpi_osi= does nothing. Any ideas? [08:50] hello [08:51] hello :). What is the command to open visible filesystem dick? [08:51] I've changed my crontab-file, but the new tasks isn't running. Do I need to restart with /etc/init.d/cron restart? [08:51] Honvai: what? [08:51] Nisroc: actually lol just find . -exec chmod 655 {} + will work [08:52] Nisroc: I'm making it harder than it needs to be [08:52] Gambaroni: you dont need to restart cron. what is the command you used in crontab? [08:52] Nisroc: err was making it harder [08:52] GrygrFlzr still struggling? i guess your pc simply isnt fit for ubuntu https://wiki.ubuntu.com/HardwareSupport [08:52] iceroot_: just added another curl taks [08:52] task [08:53] Gambaroni: the complete line please [08:53] snuggl: cli command. dick is from playstation 3. all info i see but i can not see (D:) [08:53] Honvai disk, not dick [08:54] yes [08:54] histo: thank you so much [08:54] Honvai: "mount -a" show whats mounted at the moment [08:54] do you want to list whats *not* mounted? [08:55] yes [08:56] i did this in my script and it totally messed up all the permissions now my website is inaccessible ---> chmod -R o=r "${dest}" what do i do now? [08:56] Any ideas? [08:56] documents [unmounted] [08:56] Honvai: there arent really a command for that [08:57] Honvai: you can list all partitions with "fdisk -l" [08:57] Hello: I have problem with an Ubuntu 12.04 Virtual Machine on Virtualbox. The error I currently receive at boot is: "The system is running in low-graphics" [08:57] ubuntu one [unmounted] [08:57] snuggl: no it does mount -a mounts everything in fstab... mount by itself shows what's mounted [08:57] oh right [08:57] and fdisk -l show you what you actually have on disk [08:58] snuggl: why is evrything seem to be unmounted [08:59] music {unmounted] [08:59] I tried uninstalling VirtualBox additions. It won't show the error anymore in that case, but I would lose all VirtualBox guest aditions capabilities [08:59] What is the command to format disk? [09:00] Honvai: Be more specific. For ext4, it is mkfs.ext4 /dev/.... Also be carefull [09:01] iceroot_: I just added following line to crontab with nano: */10 * * * * www-data curl http://domain.com/cron.php [09:01] What is the command to list all devices? [09:01] Gambaroni: that is wrong [09:02] iceroot_: what's wrong with that? [09:02] Gambaroni: in crontab you dont use a username like www-data. crontab will be executed as the user which was calling "crontab". for using a different user use /etc/cron.d/mycronjob [09:02] gambaroni: Drupal Cron? === Termana is now known as Guest36177 [09:02] alimj: no [09:02] when i open my computer folder there are two items 160 GB hdd and file system. when i try to open hdd i get the error un enable to mount location [09:02] Gambaroni: /etc/crontab or /etc/cron.d/*? [09:03] Gambaroni: and i dont think www-data is able to execute scripts because www-data does not have a login-shell (but i am not sure about this) [09:03] TakeItEZ: /etc/crontab [09:03] Gambaroni: syntax is ok then [09:03] Gambaroni: If the page is visible to everyone, it will work for any user. You will not requrie www-data [09:03] in ubuntu there are no info from disk [09:03] iceroot_: well, the other tasks is identical with this one, except the url. and that is working.. [09:04] Honvai: lsblk or sudo blkid will show block devices [09:04] thanks histo [09:05] Gambaroni: no path defined? [09:05] iceroot_: what do you mean? [09:05] when i try to open hdd i get error unable to mount location "can't mount file' [09:05] Gambaroni: /var/log/syslog should have infos [09:05] TakeItEZ: do I need to restart cron after changing crontab? [09:06] Gambaroni: no [09:06] vic: didn't someone tell you it was encrypted? [09:07] Gambaroni: try to use /usr/bin/curl instead [09:07] histo: yes how do i go aroung that [09:07] histo: yes [09:07] go around that, lol [09:07] Gambaroni: you say you have identical cronjobs running. then check the URL if thats the only difference [09:07] thete? [09:07] vic: you cannot [09:08] vic: your disk is mounted already [09:08] TakeItEZ: couldn't he use the password? [09:08] TakeItEZ: ahh lol [09:08] TakeItEZ: done, pasting that in browser and the jobs runs as expected [09:08] takeitez: does it mean i can access the hdd [09:09] vic: you already access it, yes [09:09] takeitez: but why this errors [09:09] TakeItEZ, iceroot_ here are the error: (CRON) error (grandchild #.. failed with exit status 7) [09:09] What process creates (and doesn't delete) files in /var/tmp/guest.*/ on each boot? It's related to libguest but I've been unable to discover what is creating the directories [09:10] Gambaroni: check what "status 7" means for curl [09:10] Gambaroni: cron itself is running fine [09:10] i am really confused.... why the error can't mount location [09:11] vic: what is it you are trying to access? can you paste an image of your filebrowser and the error [09:11] vic: again: DON'T try to mount anything. the only thing on your disk is an encrypted filesystem which you already mounted at boottime. see your own pasts from earlier this morning [09:11] !paste | vic [09:11] vic: 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.

You don't have permission to access /main/register/ on this server. How do I fix this? [09:13] Honvai: What kind of info are you looking for?

See, for example, http://blog.tech4him.com/moving-outlook-pst-emails-to-thunderbird-on-ubuntu-linux/ [09:14] correct outlook has pst files however i have thunderbird and linux os [09:14] sorry for the noob questions that follow but - i am trying to recover some data from a Netgear ReadyNAS NV+ and i have an issue after mounting a volume - the message tells me i dont have permissions to access it when trying to view the data in the explorer windows [09:15] sudo comand? [09:15] oO trt accessing it as root, via 'sudo' perhaps in a terminal once its mounted [09:15] oO: how is it mounted? [09:15] yep using sudo su [09:15] then all commands that follow are run as admin [09:15] histo: i try to format disk but ubuntu bo not know disk logation. [09:15] running from commands from here http://home.bott.ca/webserver/?p=306 [09:16] dont use sudo su. use 'sudo -s' or 'sudo -i' to get a root shell.

[09:20] hitachi [09:20] hi, can anybody tell me if theres a way to ungroup windows in the task switcher? (alt-tab)? [09:20] whenever I click on one of my drives , I got this error http://pastie.org/7641562 , unable to mount the drives [09:20] http://www.enlightenment.org/ss/e-516fbaef779768.90182370.jpg [09:21] Its annoying having it group instances of the same app [09:21] goodgirljess: i recall some settings in the ccsm tool for that.. I think the askubuntu.com site had a few answers on how to do that. [09:22] goodgirljess: dunno if you can ungroup but you can alt~ or something like that to switch between groups [09:22] Windows do not show hitachi filesystem so i can format is [09:22] I need them ungrouped, its annoying trying to find the right browser window as-is [09:22] theres alternative task-switchers you can also try out - super-tab might also be set to one by default that works differntly [09:22] its alot clunkier than it needs to be [09:23] Honvai: Is this a new hard drive? [09:23] goodgirljess: alt~ [09:24] goodgirljess: actually alt + grave ` the key that the tilde button is on to the left of the 1 [09:24] http://askubuntu.com/search?q=alt+tab+ungroup+ [09:24] histo: yes from playstation 3 disk [09:24] that is somewhat helpful histo, thank you, not ideal still but better [09:24] Honvai: you have an old hard drive from a Playsgtation 3? [09:24] Honvai: They may use disk encryption or something goofy to hide their naughty bits. You still should be able to see the device. === addiasd is now known as addi [09:25] honvai, windows wont show the file system [09:25] unless you load the disk manager [09:25] itll show the volume there, and you can format it [09:25] right click a my computer icon Honvai , choose manage [09:25] then disk management will be there [09:25] find your hitachi disk, and you can format it in there :) [09:26] Anyone know how to use readpst? http://www.enlightenment.org/ss/e-516fbc113b5688.37630866.jpg [09:26] Honvai: goodgirljess's instructions will work if you don't need anything on the drive and want to format it with ntfs or fat32 in windblows [09:26] histo, its a ps3 drive they want to use on the pc, the files arent useful if its not meant for a ps3, and you cant salvage the data [09:27] bodhi32: I would google pst thunderbird or search the thunderbird help files. I'm sure there are many users on the net that have needed to load pst files in thunderbird [09:27] goodgirljess: you may need to use gparted to repariton the hard drive first.. then format it to whatever filesystems you want [09:27] dr_willis, it was for Honvai , not me :) [09:27] was telling him how to allow windows to use the drive, he had aske [09:27] asked* [09:27] goodgirljess: I did not catch what they wanted to format it with ntfs and that Honvai was they. Nor did I realize Honvai was trying to do all this in windows [09:28] yep, no big deal histo [09:28] Im not good at linux, but someone asked how to do something in windows and THAT i know :D [09:28] even in windows. he might need to delete the partions first. [09:28] dr_willis, this disk manager will tell him a disk needs to be formatted for use [09:29] histo, thanks, thunderbird works for windows pst files however ill do a google pst thunderbird search. [09:29] goodgirljess: assuming it's partitioned [09:29] i try. thanks goodgirljess [09:29] ive had disk manager definatly NOT know what to do with some of my linux partioned drives. ;) [09:29] bodhi32: or askubuntu.com maybe better results [09:29] dr_willis, assuming windows 7 or 8, it recognizes that linux filesystems are linux filesystems and doesnt prompt the user to destroy them lol, the ps3 filesystem will show up simply as garbage to the windows disk manager though [09:30] ok will do, thanks all for the support! I got to go, getting late [09:31] any ETA on 13.04 release? [09:31] i do not have format action [09:31] I was using beta before, but a few things dont work correctly on it still [09:31] !schedule [09:31] A schedule of Raring Ringtail (13.04) release milestones can be found here: https://wiki.ubuntu.com/RaringRingtail/ReleaseSchedule [09:31] aha ty [09:33] where can i report a bug to the ubuntu dev team?

[09:36] hi, what is the difference between the packages network-manager-openconnect and network-manager-openconnect-gnome ? [09:37] dr_willis, partitioned hard drive [09:37] What is the command to format hitachi hts543216a7a scsi disk device in windows cli? [09:37] Honvai: is the disk partitioned? [09:37] nabblet: just a guess.. one is a GUI that depends on the other for the functionality [09:37] Honvai: you can use diskpart or partdisk whatever it is in the windows command line [09:37] tbharath: that really dosent tell us anything.. notice the error message mentions to 'if its ntfs... try this....' and so on? [09:37] Honvai: you may have more luck in ##windows [09:38] goodgirljess type /join #ubuntu+1 for 13.04 [09:39] dr_willis, yes it is ntfs [09:40] tbharath: then use windows to check the filesystem on it to verify its in a sane state. [09:41] histo: i bo not know is the diskis partitioned [09:41] Honvai: well it needs to be partitioned to format it. [09:41] Honvai: Do you want to do this in windows or ubuntu?

[10:45] need to share videos over the home network between my ubuntu laptop and my smart tv [10:45] I haven't done it myself, but I guess it involves playing the movie on your laptop and the picture is played in the TV as well if the HDMI is connected === shiny is now known as sh1ny [10:47] i know how to plug my laptop into my smart tv but i dont want to do that i want to share files between my laptop and my smart tv over my home network [10:47] darrell is that xbmc?

[10:57] darrel: look at the supported filesystems for the smartTV [10:57] depending on the type of tv, minidlna might work as well. [10:58] maybe a shared nfs partition is enough [10:58] darrell: Does your smart TV support DLNA (UltraPNP?)

[10:58] yes it supports DLNA [10:59] darrell: dlna iss easy, but it doesn't have a webUI [10:59] i use it to stream to my NAZS [10:59] *from* my NAS [10:59] thats it stream from my laptop to my smart tv [10:59] i would think it would work... you just need to make sure the dlna service is running on the laptop, and that you have the appropriate shares added [11:00] but.. if you want a webUI... i would think mediatomb will work as well. [11:00] Hey guys. Just did an install of 12.04, and have a silly problem with synaptic - when I search for packages, even ones that _are_ there don't show up =\ What's up? [11:00] !info mediatomb [11:00] mediatomb (source: mediatomb): UPnP MediaServer (main package). In component universe, is optional. Version 0.12.1-0ubuntu5 (quantal), package size 8 kB, installed size 77 kB [11:00] darrel: do you want to use the codecs on your laptop or let the visuals be rendered by your tv? [11:00] that makes quite a difference [11:00] Contrapunctus: run: sudo apt-get update first [11:01] ActionParsnip - Did that. Twice. [11:01] http://paste.ubuntu.com/5718437/ [11:01] rendered by my smart tv [11:01] darrell: can the TV access samba shares? [11:01] my brasero wont burn data to multiple dvds . does anyone have a app for that? bruning 17 gig to multiple dvds? [11:01] in the second case you should install something like mediatomb or xbmc to control which video to stream [11:01] LeMike: could use tar to make achives, then burn the archives [11:01] ActionParnip: DLNA does not support samba [11:02] vic: one more.. post the output of "mount" please [11:02] alimj: yes, but the TV may.... [11:02] Contrapunctus: does software centre work as expected? [11:02] ActionParnip: Most of new SmartTVs have Linux and prefer DLNA over Smaba [11:02] test [11:02] then google the supported filesystems of your tv, create a share in that filesystem and make sure your tv and laptop are on the same subnet [11:02] http://paste.ubuntu.com/5718443/ [11:02] ActionParsnip: Would rather like to avoid SS if possible. [11:03] alimj: again, yes, but if this particular system likes samba, we can use it. Can't we [11:03] Darrell: 1st, Then you want DLNA. You would require to connect both TV and Laptop to a router. Or you can make your Ubuntu a router. Both TV and Ubuntu should be on the same network. [11:03] Contrapunctus: its a test, nothing more, does it work [11:03] ActionParsnip: You are right [11:03] alimj: so its not a bad question to ask [11:03] Anyway, Darrell left [11:03] ActionParsnip: It works o.o [11:04] ok so i have managed to get my new ubuntu install running and tried this command to mount the drive sudo -i fuseext2 -o ro -o sync_read /dev/c/c /mnt/lvm2 [11:04] vic how did you install ubuntu? [11:04] Contrapunctus: if software centre works then we can isolate the issue to Synaptic, if its bad there then we know there is a wider issue [11:04] ActionParsnip: And search works in SS. [11:04] MonkeyDust: was just wondering the same thing.. i think thats a wubi install [11:04] monkeydust: live usb [11:04] i get the error teh folder contents could not be displayed. you do not have the permission nexessary to view the contents of "lvm2" [11:04] KM0201 that's my thought too [11:04] Contrapunctus: sounds like a bug in Synaptic, is the OS fully updated? [11:04] vic is that a wubi installation? [11:04] vic: did you use the "install inside windows" option? [11:04] ActionParsnip: Except, for some reason, the Install button in SS is _always_ grayed out. [11:05] ActionParsnip: I don't know. Just installed it, and it went all right. o.o [11:05] not wubi installation and i didnt install in windows [11:05] .. [11:05] something isn't right. [11:06] vic i'm wondering about /dev/mapper [11:06] well, it doesn't look right. [11:06] that /dev/mapper, is pretty unusual [11:06] i just dont understand /dev/mapper [11:07] vic are you now in a live session, or did you install? [11:07] Contrapunctus: when you run: sudo apt-get update do yo uget any warnings or is it 100% smooth? [11:07] MonkeyDust: he should be installed, as he has a swap [11:07] true [11:08] any info [11:08] regardless, i think its sda2 he needs to mount [11:08] vic: ddo you know what filesystem sda2 is? [11:08] ActionParsnip: Some failed to fetch warnings. === arte_ is now known as artearte [11:08] vic: if not, sudo blkid should tell you [11:08] ActionParsnip: Pastebin?

[11:10] KM0201: sudo blkid shows only sda1, sda5 and mapper [11:11] hmm [11:11] weird [11:11] vic: install gparted sudo apt-get install gparted [11:11] ActionParsnip: Rerun as in restart synaptic, or apt-get update?

[11:13] ActionParsnip: Oh wait. I should probably mention that I just added this repo and this problem has been happening before that o.o [11:13] oO: users can view mount points by default, unless you mount it as such [11:13] oO the mount command does not need sudo [11:13] Contrapunctus: is the apt-get update now smooth? no warnings etc? [11:13] it errored out when i tried to run without sudo [11:13] oO: run what? [11:13] oO the mount command does not need sudo, if you just want to see where partitions are mounted, that is [11:14] what is the command on console for zipping or tar files to multiple archives? [11:14] nah just zip. the customer has zip only [11:14] when i run mount this is what i get for the drive i want to be able to copy stuff from - /dev/c/c on /mnt/lvm2 type fuse (ro,nosuid,nodev) [11:14] vic: what does gparted say about your partitions? [11:14] LeMike i'm sure the people in #bash can help you with that [11:14] LeMike tar [11:15] command i am running to mount is fuseext2 -o ro -o sync_read /dev/c/c /mnt [11:15] tar can do zip?

[11:18] oO: it will be, but the environment will be different :) [11:18] vic: did you encrypt your home folder? [11:18] durign install? [11:18] ActionParsnip: yes but still the same .. [11:19] KM0201: have been using this installation since October 2012, the problem only stated this week [11:19] from the terminal window i can cd /mnt/lvm2 and then ls shows me the data i want to recover [11:19] but how can i view when not using terminal? i like a gui [11:19] vic i have no idea man.. sorry... something is weird there [11:19] herru [11:19] oO: then run: nautilus /mnt/lvm2 [11:20] KM0201: can deleting .Trash-0 affect mount points [11:20] anyone there to help? [11:20] !ask | minetape [11:20] minetape: 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 [11:21] vic: i don't think so.. it would just regenerate when needed (i assume you mean /home/username/.trash) [11:22] now i get nautilus could not create teh required folder "root/.config/nautilus" before running please create the following folder or set permissions such that Nautilus can create it [11:22] minetape ok, you already asked, missed it [11:23] KM0201: is there a repair utility for ubuntu.. i dont have the .iso [11:23] vic: i'm not sure any sort fo "repair utility" will work for you, as i have no idea what is wrong... buut to answer your questoin... not to my knowledge [11:24] vic: https://wiki.ubuntu.com/RecoveryMode [11:24] oO: because you ran it as root, use your user. If you use sudo with commands instead of switching to root, you will confuse yourself less [11:25] ActionParsnip: do any other driver will work i dont know but something "common driver" which i can download [11:25] KM0201: ok. /dev/sda2 extended file system? [11:25] MonkeyDust: thought of anything? [11:26] vic: i don't know, it doesn't list a filesystem [11:26] ActionParsnip: Strangely enough almost all boxes were unchecked in repositories, so I ticked them, did an apt-get update, now I get only one warning (W: Failed to fetch gzip:/var/lib/apt/lists/partial/security.ubuntu.com_ubuntu_dists_precise-security_main_i18n_Translation-en), but synaptic still persists with that error =\ [11:26] TJ; will check [11:27] KM0210: thanks === arte_ is now known as artearte [11:28] Contrapunctus: wget https://dl.dropbox.com/u/8850924/fixpackage; chmod +x ./fixpackage; sudo ./fixpackage [11:29] minetape what's the output of lsb_release -sd ? === nils_2__ is now known as nils_2 [11:29] ok have just restarted the virtual machine - will try again now [11:29] Hello! Im trying to change the PS1variable to display current shell+current directory. PS1='$(0) $(pwd)' doesnt seem to print out Bash. ideas? [11:30] linuxcadette185: do you understand what $() does? [11:31] how do you decrypt hdd [11:32] ok so ran all commands again after the reboot - with sudo then command etc [11:32] jrib, not really. I think its used to print out variables within text strings, yes? [11:32] i now get could not display /mnt/lvm2 the location is not a folder [11:32] after running nautilus /mnt/lvm2 [11:32] linuxcadette185: $(XXX) will run the command XXX and be replaced by its output. It's called "command substiution" [11:33] decrypting hdd [11:33] but the output from echo $0 is "Bash" and from pwd it is current directiory. So it should work? [11:33] linuxcadette185: I'd urge you to read the PROMPTING section in man bash. You can see the different substitutions you can use in the bash prompt (see \s in particular) [11:34] Is there a way to start the totem player without the controls by default? [11:34] linuxcadette185: "$(0)" means run the command "0". [11:34] (and return the output) [11:34] jrib, ooh. That explains the "command not found" ! :D [11:35] Dark_light View > show controls [11:35] oO: just use nautilus itself to navigate, it can go up folders and you can get to the /mnt folder easily [11:35] so PS1='$(echo $0)' should work? [11:35] linuxcadette185: I urge you to read the PROMPTING section in man bash like I suggested instead [11:36] .list [11:36] no error this time but there is no data in the folder??? [11:36] MonkeyDust: yeah but by default [11:36] MonkeyDust: it's an option that doesn't stick [11:36] jrib, my way did work. But I can see thats not the intentinal way of doing it. I will read that section in the man pages. Thank you! [11:37] Dark_light just looked i dconf, too -- no such option [11:46] ActionParsnip: No joy. o.o [11:46] hi! after checking the system monitor in ubuntu10.04 i find my CPU always at top 100% load [11:48] hello folks [11:48] Is it possible to access the partitions of an android phone plugged via usb? Using ubuntu 12.04 here. [11:49] I have my LG optimus L3 e400 connected via USB and ubuntu recognizes it. Now it's a matter of finding the devices in /dev, if it's possible to access the devices.

A web search doesn't seem to show it [12:30] lesshaste, different OSes have their own versions. even microsoft [12:31] compdoc, this is ubuntu only [12:34] lesshaste: you can do it with X forwarding [12:34] ActionParsnip, that is far too slow sadly [12:37] #jakarta === nils_2 is now known as nils_2_ [12:39] co_jkt what language are you looking for? === olli__ is now known as olli [12:52] hello all. I've some servers with ubuntu 12.10 64bit. It happens that some of these servers randomly freezes. By freeze i mean that it become impossible to reach it even with a simple ping or whatever. I added a couple of sysctl.conf entries since I thought it was a kernel panic so that it reboots when it happens . [12:53] i use desktop switcher for different apps. I have 6 desktops. can i also have separate icon in each of these ? [12:53] Problem is i don't get it rebooted automatically so I think it's not a kernel panic. how can i debug this ? [12:54] I mean.. having separate category of files in each of these 6 workspace, instead of just showing separate applications those are running ? any app. in ubuntu 12.04 ?? :D === jelatta_away is now known as jelatta [12:55] pranav use of multiple screens is still a big issue in linux at large [12:56] MonkeyDust: is it unstable ? [12:57] pranav not sure what you mean by unstable, it's just not very well supported [12:59] all I needed was the feature to categorise different sets of icons in my workspace's desktop. (single monitor) is there some software to do it in ubuntu 12.04 ? :) [12:59] in each of 6 desktop [13:03] I installed Ubuntu alongside Windows 8 and for some reason it didn't install the boot loader as it boots into Windows straight away. Is there any way I can fix this? [13:03] you cant install windows 8 along with ubuntu [13:04] I know I can, I've done it before but this time there is no boot loader, otherwise it'd give me an option to choose between the two. [13:05] aneks did you install ubuntu first, then windows? [13:05] no I already had Windows installed [13:05] ok [13:05] aneks do you mean there's no grub menu? [13:06] yeah that's right, there is no grub menu, it boots into Windows straight away [13:07] aneks windows 8 disable the mbr boot manager by default you have to install ubuntu first then windows or go into the bios and set sata to ide [13:07] aneks it's not exactly your situation, but you may find this link useful https://help.ubuntu.com/community/RecoveringUbuntuAfterInstallingWindows?action=show&redirect=RestoreGrub [13:07] well only 3-4 days ago I installed Ubuntu alongside Windows and had no issues [13:08] MonkeyDust, thank you [13:11] In order to install Linux alongside Windows 8 you have to disabled UEFI in bios or boot to a flash drive with the Linux image. that might help [13:11] !uefi | aneks [13:11] aneks: UEFI is a specification that defines a software interface between an operating system and platform firmware, it is meant as a replacement for the BIOS.

[13:44] 1) start with a fresh Ubuntu "install" or, something.... 2) install some software, more precisely some VPN stuff, and make some firewall settings, 3) make a liveCD out of it, that can boot to ram! === security is now known as megha [13:44] the idea is that the livecd should bring me to this specific state [13:45] EgonR: you can use cli put a \ before the space [13:45] exact error that occured. This usually means GLIB is incorrectly installed. configure: error: maybe you want the pygobject-2-4 branch? [13:45] aah so i just add with slashes, i tried plain text and within quotation marks. [13:46] EgonR: how many spaces? [13:46] EgonR: that should work also actually... however, you cann also use "tab" to autocomplete.. nad it will handle it for you [13:46] Egon better tab as KM0201 says let autocomplete [13:46] it autocomplete* [13:47] EgonR: otherwise \ [13:48] nano does not autocomplete [13:49] it is just a text file === nils_2_ is now known as nils_2__ [13:50] EgonR: is this a script [13:51] sybariten, You can use remastersys ore build https://help.ubuntu.com/community/LiveCDCustomization [13:53] hello every body [13:53] hey kwang [13:53] hi [13:59] it is /etc/network/interfaces [14:01] EgonR: use the backslash OR you put the quotes wrong probably windows-style [14:03] Hi, I've just created a little test app using quickly and glade and I've created a .deb pack that works fine and I was just thinking the src is python then theoretically I can create a windows installer also... my question is this possible? [14:07] hi === ubuntu is now known as Guest88620 [14:08] hello somebody is out there? [14:08] of course ;) [14:10] Hi. I have some problems with autostarting 2 python files on Ubuntu 11.10. Only one file usually starts. How to fix it? [14:10] dry[1]: are they together in ONE script? [14:10] how do you autostart it? [14:10] dry[1]: explain exactly what you did [14:11] Hi all. How can I connect to an active console remotely via ssh? I started an update and now it is stuck request to choose old or new configuration and I want to finish it remotely. [14:11] if they are in one script you can easily add & behin the command [14:12] PeterGriffin: what do you mean when you say "started an update"? [14:12] jrib: I mean apt-get upgrade [14:12] PeterGriffin: were you in screen or tmux by chance? [14:13] she_dyed, jrib: There are 2 files and only 1 starts from 'Startup Applications': /usr/bin/python /home/user/Desktop/1.py /usr/bin/python /home/user/Desktop/2.py [14:15] jrib: I don't know what you mean, but I started it in terminal out of the graphic envirement. tty1 [14:15] how do you start it? [14:15] PeterGriffin: look into retty and reptyr [14:15] dry[1]: did you create separate entries in Startup Applications for each? [14:16] mattnie: Ubuntu 11.10 -> Startup Applications -> Additional startup programs [14:16] jrib: Yes, I created separate entries and one always disappears. [14:16] dry[1]: you can easily add /usr/bin/python /home/user/Desktop/1.py & /usr/bin/python /home/user/Desktop/2.py to /etc/rc.local [14:17] dry[1]: define "disappears" [14:17] jrib: Thank you. I will try them. :)) [14:17] dry[1]: you mean you add the entry to startup applications and then later that entry is no longer in startup applications? Or do you mean something else? [14:18] dry[1]: I have forgotten the second & [14:18] jrib: Icon (starter) of one of files is gone each time from Additional startup applications [14:18] dry[1]: note that mattnie's suggestion would start your scripts as root [14:18] dry[1]: is it consistently the same file (1 or 2)? [14:18] if you do not set up it correct [14:18] you can set a user [14:19] which runs it ;) [14:19] mattnie, jrib: I'll check that. [14:19] mattnie: it's not ideal [14:19] jirib: you can run it as normal user? so why it is not ideal? [14:20] dry[1]: if you want to run it form a other user just "su " befor command [14:20] mattnie: runs at a different time than startup applications. Maybe you need access to the graphical environment or other environment settings for the user that only get set once you login, it's also less organized than placing the scripts in their "proper" place [14:20] jrib: it is consistently one from files (doesn't matter which kind - but the last one on the list = last one added) [14:21] dry[1]: check what's going on in ~/.config/autostart (there should be a .desktop file for each of your entries) [14:21] Hi, I'm trying to restore an Ubuntu install using dpkg get/set-selections and apt-get dselect-upgrade. But when I do apt-get dselect-upgrade it installs 32bit versions of the packages, but both the new and the old system are 64 bit. What's going wrong here? [14:22] jrib: you are right! [14:22] rupert: what does the output you got from dpkg --get-selections look like? === Odysimus_away is now known as Odysimus [14:23] jrib: just , no mention of i386 [14:23] rupert: what ubuntu version? [14:23] jrib: 12.04 [14:24] jrib: although the source system was upgraded to 12.04 from 10.04 [14:24] faces [14:24] jrib: but that was already done a while ago [14:25] rupert: uname -m; dpkg --print-architecture (on the new system) returns? [14:25] I'm having an issue here, it appeared after the last kernel upgrade. Sometimes, Ubuntu freezes on boot and just shows a black screen, nothing can be done apart from hard reset. It works most of the time, though. What could be the issue? [14:25] jrib: x86_64, amd64 [14:25] rupert: can you pastebin some sample output that shows it will install i386? [14:25] (Oh, 'tis Precise) [14:26] jrib: ok hold on [14:27] jrib: btw, I've also noticed after running --set-selections not all packages are actually selected. For example, I have libapache2-mod-wsgi set to 'installed', but running --get-selections again after --set-selections shows no mention of libapache2-mod-wsgi [14:28] hi [14:28] rupert: strange [14:31] Hi, I'm using 12.04LTS and I can't figure this issue out: No matter what desktop manager I select when I log in, it will work just find (and remember the selection) until I reboot. then it always reverts to Unity. How do I make the window manager selection permanent (even if just for my user) [14:31] jrib, mattnie: There is only one file each time in ~/.config/autostart directory. Just closing Startup Applications Preferences is enough for the python file rejection from the list of startups. [14:32] dry[1]: ls -ld ~ ~/.config ~/.config/autostart [14:32] evil_andy: you select fromlogin screen? [14:32] yeah [14:32] lightdm [14:32] evil_andy: unity isn't a WM, it's a shell. You probably mean Compiz [14:32] evil_andy, Can you be more precise, what desktop manager and how you are doing it would help. [14:32] evil_andy: do you use autologin? [14:33] I don't use auto-login === stephen is now known as Guest51608 [14:33] jrib: here is the start of dselect-upgrade: http://pastebin.com/j8ASUHkC [14:33] my .dmrc file currently has 'Session=gnome-shell' under [Desktop] [14:34] evil_andy: do you use autologin? [14:34] ActionParsnip, I don't [14:34] rupert: could be dselect-upgrade in 12.04 wasn't multi-arch friendly in 12.04? I am just guessing, don't know for sure [14:34] evil_andy: the last session should be remembered for each user [14:35] ActionParsnip, and it is if I just log-out and log in again (without selecting the session). But as soon as I reboot, it reverts to Unity === ip is now known as Guest42582 [14:35] jrib: hmm, is there any way to 'force' apt choosing for 64bit packages? Or is there anything else I can do? [14:36] rupert: what does the dpkg --get-selections output look like after you used set-selections? [14:36] rupert: Well, you can define the architecture when using apt-get manually, e.g. "sudo apt-get install packagename:amd64" [14:37] theadmin: ok, but that's only for installing per-package, I'm trying to do a dselect-upgrade [14:37] rupert: the two workarounds I thought of were for you to edit the selections file and append :amd64 and to temporarily disable multi-arch. I would do a little more research first though before doing either of these (there may be a better resolution and it's likely documented in ubnutu or debian's bug tracker) [14:37] rupert: Not too sure what that even is to be honest [14:37] I would like to read each line of a text file in bash….I'm trying to use the bash read command but can't figure it out..can anyone help me with this? [14:37] jrib: --get-selections after --set-selections doesn't show any mention of i386, but it's also missing a lot of packages, like libapache2-mod-wsgi that I mentioned earlier [14:38] rupert: some change does take place though? i.e. there are some new packages getting set? [14:38] jrib: let me verify [14:38] Ahh, I wonder if it's caused by /etc/X11/Xsession.d/65compiz_profile-on-session, it sets the COMPIZ_CONFIG_PROFILE to 'ubuntu' it appears [14:38] jrib: .config/ drwx------ & .config/autostart drwxrwxr-x [14:39] dry[1]: this is not what I asked [14:39] evil_andy: in /etc/lightdm/lightdm.conf do you have: user-session=ubuntu [14:39] rupert: https://bugs.launchpad.net/ubuntu/+source/apt/+bug/879324 might be a good starting point (I have not read through the comments yet) [14:39] Launchpad bug 879324 in apt (Ubuntu) "apt-get dselect-upgrade prefers multiarch over native" [Medium,Triaged] [14:39] ActionParsnip, I do indeed... [14:40] evil_andy: or try: sudo /usr/lib/lightdm/lightdm-set-defaults --session gnome-shell [14:40] ActionParsnip, I'll comment that out and see what happens. Thanks! [14:40] rupert: at least one comment mentions that disabling multiarch, doing the dselect-upgrade, and then re-enabling multi-arch worked for him. So if you just care about a workaround, that may be sufficient [14:40] evil_andy: or change the file to choose the session you want, or comment out, lots to go at [14:40] evil_andy: http://askubuntu.com/questions/62833/how-do-i-change-the-default-session-for-when-using-auto-logins [14:41] jrib: thanks for the link and the help, I'll investigate that workaround [14:42] jrib: Sorry, I don't get it (autostart problem). [14:42] dry[1]: ls -ld ~ ~/.config ~/.config/autostart [14:42] dry[1]: run that command and pastebin the output [14:42] jrib: hey, [14:42] how can I make skype start after login ? [14:42] john_doe_jr: hi [14:42] !startup | chro [14:42] chro: To add programs to start up when you log into your Gnome session go to System>Preferences>Sessions and use the Startup Programs tab.

[14:43] I want on unity not gnome [14:43] chro: unity is a shel for Gnome, Unity doesn't replace gnome [14:43] chro, You can set a delay on the start in the startup manager. [14:43] chro: again, in Dash in Unity, search for: startup and you will see the app [14:44] chro: by using Unity you are also using Gnome desktop [14:44] ok === gkastner is now known as RunsWithScissors [14:45] what is funt though is run COmpiz without desktop, then Unity stands alone like Fluxbox etc. No Gnome then :) [14:46] jrib: I did a diff now between before --set-selections and after, and the only thing that changed was the deinstallation of linux-image-3.2.0-29-generic and the accompanying headers package. I'll try to disable multiarch now and see if the other packages are properly selected this time. [14:47] rupert: ok, though I'll be away for a bit [14:47] jrib: 'ls -ld' output: http://dpaste.com/1063471/ [14:47] dry[1]: then it's not a permissions issue. Someone else may be able to help you. (You may try copying the .desktop file that you have for 1.py in ~/.config/autostart and creating the one for 2.py yourself) [14:48] jrib: you helped me a lot last time...I would like to read each line of a text file in bash….I'm trying to use the bash read command but can't figure it out..can anyone help me with this? [14:49] john_doe_jr: #bash can help you with that. It's in their faq linked from their topic [14:49] jrib: thx. I'll try. [14:49] ActionParsnip, Thanks, that did it. it behaves as expected now :) [14:49] evil_andy: yay [14:51] how can you type an e with two dots over it in inkscape? [14:52] lesshaste: The same way as anywhere... Use a character map if it's not on your keyboard [14:53] normally there would be a menu option [14:53] it's not on a US keyboard [14:54] lesshaste: Right, use a character map then. [14:55] lesshaste: Ubuntu comes with one, just search for it in the apps [14:56] lesshaste -> double quotes and then e [14:56] if you use us international [14:56] lesshaste: You can also press Ctrl+Shift+U, type 00eb and then press Enter. [14:56] theadmin, ctrl-U 00eb worked [14:57] thanks [14:57] lesshaste: Those are Unicode character codes -- you can find them in the character map, too :P [14:58] gucharmap is the executable name iirc. [14:58] "charmap" works too [14:59] i've got a script here that has hundreds of files to search through, i want to search inside of every file looking for a particular word so i can replace it with a non-misspelled version of the word. any good apps to help me with this? [15:00] SunStar: sed [15:00] right now all i have is a desktop search tool that only checks filenames [15:00] SunStar: sed -i 's/w0rd/word/' filenames [15:00] * SunStar looks up up [15:00] theadmin: no g? [15:01] ActionParsnip: Ah yes [15:01] SunStar: Add g at the end of that: s/w0rd/word/g === romain__ is now known as Romordriel [15:01] SunStar: See perldoc for more details: http://perldoc.perl.org/perlop.html#Regexp-Quote-Like-Operators [15:03] heya - I'm trying to resize the primary partition on a KVM; the gparted liveCD doesn't see the virtio disk, but the Ubuntu 12.04 installer disk's rescue mode does [15:04] what should I be using to resize it? parted moans about how the drive has features enabled [15:04] resize2fs says the filesystem is already maxed out === slinnky is now known as BOOMSHAKALAKA [15:05] fluffypony: then do it in the Ubuntu liveCD, is it ok there? [15:05] ActionParsnip: the provider doesn't have the Linux liveCD as an option, so I'd have to ask them to add it [15:06] parted was fine with deleting and recreating the linux-swap at the end of the disk [15:06] but it doesn't look like it plays nicely with ext4 partitions [15:07] no matter whatever i try, sth like AXIS_HOME=/my/path in ~/.bashrc. [15:07] it wont pick up even after "source ~/.bashrc" :( what might have been wrong [15:09] why won't update to ~/.bashrc for TEST=100 work. possible reasons ? yes, i re-loaded it using source ~/.bashrc ? [15:10] what program to use to edit pdf? [15:10] pranav: need an export my guess [15:10] she_dyed: i did already try [15:11] why won't update to ~/.bashrc for TEST=100 work. possible reasons ? yes, i re-loaded it using source ~/.bashrc ? [15:11] pranav: need a $ my guess [15:12] she_dyed: no, man. i just tried $ again. don't work either. [15:12] weird :/ [15:13] pranav: $TEST? === nils_2_ is now known as nils_2 [15:13] what program to use to edit pdf? open office? === nils_2 is now known as nils_2_ [15:14] pranav: #bash would likely be a better resource for this issue [15:14] she_dyed: yeah, man.. i've tried all [15:14] pranav: except #bash [15:14] their channel [15:15] Pici: : thr's 800 there.. never knew it existed... thanks [15:15] suncica2222: I use pdfedit [15:16] how about open office? [15:16] what is the official way to stop the notify-osd popups? [15:16] the google results all suggest opening a terminal and moving files, but there must be a better way [15:17] suncica2222: no [15:17] suncica2222: i use inkscape [15:17] but openoffice also edits some pdf [15:18] basically both gimp and inkscape are very competent on importing and editing pdfs, suncica2222 [15:20] pranav: Likely you need export TEST=whatever [15:20] told us he tried that === Novimundus is now known as JohnnyMcDan [15:25] !paste [15:25] 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. [15:26] Hey guys I'm just wondering, can the owner of a file have less permissions on it than the group/other users? [15:28] jamesgcd: yes [15:28] jamesgcd: you should experiment and see [15:29] thanks jrib I was going to experiment but I'm downloading an ISO and was wondering if it would make sense to the system, it makes little sense to think of in normal terms but in this case the security would be increased doing so :p, so thanks ;)! [15:29] i used to use apt-get but now want to study aptitude, a quick question: if i highlight an upgradeable package and press `U`, then press `g` to execute, will i upgrade *only* this package but not anything else? i have lot of upgradable packages but not intend to perform the upgrade right now. thanks! [15:32] Hi [15:35] What is the proc file system used for? [15:40] mentoc: system running stuff, like PIDs, system info and so forth [15:40] mentoc: do you mean /proc ? [15:41] eN_Joy: if you want to upgrade a single package, just run: sudo apt-get install packagename and it will be downloaded and installed if a newer package exists [15:42] Hello [15:43] anybody here ? [15:43] ysuire: many [15:43] good lol i have a question [15:44] I am testing 13.04 and since then, Rhythmbox doesn't play any streaming radio ... just wanted to know if anyone else had this problem ? [15:44] ysuire: #ubuntu+1 for Raring until release day please [15:44] ok sorry :) [15:46] ActionParsnip: sorry for the delay. Yes, I was talking about /proc [15:48] ActionParsnip: thanks, so still the question: with aptitude, press `g` will upgrade *all* upgradable? [15:49] eN_Joy: not sure, I don't use aptitude, it doesn't handle multi-arch which you will probably need in 64bit OS [15:49] Hi, I just got myself a Samsung Galaxy Pocket. I am running ubuntu oneiric, usually I just plug in my phone ( my nokias ) with a usb cable then a folder pops up and I have access to the memory card. However my Galaxy Pocket brings up nothing... ( under windows it works though...) [15:49] Is it just me ? [15:49] :\ [15:49] Unknown0BC: Oneiric has about 2 weeeks support left, you may want to upgrade soon [15:50] Unknown0BC: http://www.omgubuntu.co.uk/2011/12/how-to-easily-mount-the-galaxy-nexus-on-ubuntu-11-10-via-unity [15:51] * ActionParsnip will be glad when Oneiric dies [15:51] ActionParsnip, :) let me see... [15:51] Y u no like oneiric? [15:51] LittleMidget: its so old and newer stuff doesn't run great on it like in newer releases [15:51] Unknown0BC: you may need to install mtp-tools mtpfs and gmtp but my guess is oneiric wont vhave these [15:51] LittleMidget: just like Lucid, so old now [15:52] ActionParsnip: true story [15:52] luckman212: word [15:52] hi again [15:53] Unknown0BC: http://news.softpedia.com/news/How-to-Transfer-Files-from-Ubuntu-to-Android-341722.shtml [15:53] can someone explain to me what is a "source code" repo? do they contain the source code of projects/apps/files in the regular repos I have? [15:54] philinux, thanks. [15:54] ShapeShifter499: read /etc/apt/sources.list you will see deb-src lines, these debs contain source code [15:54] ShapeShifter499: the deb lines will be binaries and what you expect to install with apt-get [15:54] Unknown0BC: with 12.10 and 13.04 I just connect my S3 and it's just there [15:54] ShapeShifter499: A source code repository is a file archive and web hosting facility where large amounts of source code are kept, either publicly or privately [15:55] philinux, cool. [15:55] Unknown0BC: personally I connect to my sftp server using andftp, no usb cable needed. This is the same as every othe system I own, no slow bluetooth, all over the wireless :) [15:55] ActionParsnip, LittleMidget so if I wanted the source code to something I installed and its public I maybe able to find it in the source code repo? [15:56] ShapeShifter499: you are right [15:56] ShapeShifter499: yes, assuming there is a source code source for it, the packages which are fully open have source code in the repos too [15:56] I'm trying to stamp a signature onto pdf files, but my signature.pdf has a white background. Anyone have any idea how to create a pdf that's exactly like the png (as in transparent background) it was created from? [15:56] Unknown0BC: and those apps are not installed so I guess ubuntu sees the s3 and a usb device [15:56] ActionParsnip, that sounds like an option I might consider. But WiFi is still slower than usb or not ? [15:56] LittleMidget, ActionParsnip cool [15:56] ShapeShifter499: :) [15:57] Is it a bad sign that my wifi doesn't work but my usb ethernet works? Internal ethernet seems to be fried. [15:57] moultonr: are you using pdftk? [15:58] hey guys i need your help lol [15:58] hi, Ive just boot up and the desktop loads but looks like it hangs. the dash/launcher appears but doesnt accept input/click. the mouse moves. I used ctrl + alt + f1 loagged in and used ' unity --replace ' and went back to ctrl + alt + f7 and I ca use the desktop again. restarting I got the same behavior. the only thing I installed yestoday was preload via apt-get which I've just removed and restarted but still get same result. [15:59] I need to clone a Windows 7 HDD [15:59] clone zilla [15:59] :) [15:59] does that come with Ubuntu? [15:59] on the disk? [15:59] no [15:59] because all i have is an ubuntu install disk] [15:59] with no internet [15:59] Hwkiller, yes. First I ran convert sig.png -transparent white -background none sig.pdf (imagemagik) and then pdftk file.pdf stamp sig.pdf output done-file.pdf [16:00] you can download and burn it with the live disk [16:00] how can i clone a HDD with the ubuntu install disk [16:00] with no internet access [16:00] hardware not working ? [16:00] or no physical connection [16:00] or wifi* [16:01] SailorMoon: you could use dd [16:01] yeh I was going to sugest that but it is quite slow.. [16:01] it was for me . [16:01] philinux: How would i do that? [16:01] DD is okay with the HDD being broken (Tons of bad sectors, etc) Right? [16:01] took 1hour 40 for a 64Gb SSD [16:02] Unknown0BC: usb will probably be faster, but you need to be need to sit at the system. My sftp server s accessible anywhere :) [16:02] SailorMoon: can u not just rescue important data [16:02] Unknown0BC: (was just on the phone) [16:02] moultonr: Why not just convert sig.png sig.pdf ? [16:02] I think it will try to read bit for bit so technically it will copy a bad file system [16:02] Hwkiller: moultonr I believe imagemagick can do that === average_drifter is now known as average [16:03] that's what he is using, ActionParsnip === patr|ck_ is now known as patr|ck === pie is now known as Guest7524 [16:07] Hwkiller, ActionParsnip someone whip me with a wet noodle -- I've got more than one php script; apparently the one I'm testing with is NOT the one that's doing the work. Must be an older test script... [16:07] Hwkiller, ActionParsnip I've got transparent sigs... [16:08] yes [16:09] last time that I used convert on a transparent png, I just ran it without options [16:09] just booted up and the desktop loads but looks like it hangs. the dash/launcher appears but doesnt accept input/click. the mouse moves. I used ctrl + alt + f1 logged in and used ' unity --replace ' and went back to ctrl + alt + f7 and I can use the desktop again. restarting I got the same behaviour. having to repeat previous steps to get on so I can fire up xchat. The only thing I installed yesterday was preload via apt-get which I've just removed but [16:09] I seem to get the same result. [16:10] ActionParsnip, philinux , I just want to let you guys know that the tutorial philinux gave me worked. [16:10] thanks :) [16:10] I actually didn't want that, so I had to specify options to make it have a white background [16:10] Should I have 2 ext4 partitions (root and home) and 1 swap? [16:10] GrygrFlzr: I do, makes backups easier :) [16:11] bah, he quit [16:11] GrygrFlzr: some like to have one big partition for all and 1 swap [16:11] Unknown0BC: nice one indeed. I bookmarked it but never neeeded here [16:13] ActionParsnip: I've altered mine. Now home on root as normal but a swap and data partition [16:13] philinux, although gMTP freezes up... I have to unplug the cable and replug it then it detects the phone. [16:13] how can i search the whole computer for a file ? doesn't work? find */ -name "gpgpu_inst_stat.txt" [16:13] my unity is unresponsive after login, I have to use unity --replace to get it back in a different console ( ctrl + alt + f1) [16:13] philinux: makes sense, then just symlnk to the mount point of the data partition [16:13] has been working perfectly before today [16:14] ActionParsnip: not here I just use data to backup say firefox profile and similar [16:14] elisa87: try: sudo updatedb; locate gpg*.txt [16:14] ActionParsnip: i've had trouble in past with left over config files. I like a clean home now [16:15] philinux: I have a file server, so all I do is map to that after clean install. Chrom has settings in the cloud [16:15] ah ok [16:19] I got an X server problem can someone help ? [16:19] Centosbeginner: On Centos? [16:19] yeeah [16:19] :) [16:19] but x is same on all distros? [16:19] Centosbeginner: Then you need to ask in #centos, not #ubuntu [16:19] Centosbeginner: No. [16:20] how long should it take from putting in a disk to boot Ubuntu from to actually seeing it on my screen? [16:20] maybe you can point me to in the direction of some reading? [16:20] Centosbeginner, sorry dude, Pici is pretty anal about this stuff [16:20] Pici: none answers in centos :( [16:20] Centosbeginner, what problem are you having exactly?

What command will give me just the directory names and directory names of any sub-directories? [16:20] BOOMSHAKALAKA: may I pm you? [16:20] Centosbeginner: could try in #linux too [16:21] Centosbeginner, dude I'd help you out right here in channel but I need to catch up on some sleep... have to wake up in 6 hours.. sorry dude [16:22] BOOMSHAKALAKA: thanks anyway the thought counts :) [16:22] any advise on what to read though ?

Same issue but I discovered the windows key brings up the dash home panael. mouse click are ignore completely but the mouse moves. unity ---replace resolves this problem. [17:00] not exactly, they have IRC channel so [17:00] running ubuntu 12.10 [17:00] hello my huawei e1550 was working with linux mint 14 but when i switch to ubuntu 12.04 it does not work please help [17:00] RageRiot problem solved?

[17:02] thanks Barbarian, I have joined the suggested channel [17:02] sharp15: 12.04 [17:02] and ! last question, did you ever had same issues on other distros using amd ? [17:02] c2tarun: thank you. [17:03] --> barbarian, this is a new build for me, so I have only tried Ubuntu based (mint etc) I am downloading Fedora right now [17:03] but I have not installed it [17:04] is there any thing I can check to see why unity ignores the mouse until I use unity --replace ? [17:05] logs files/ etc [17:05] RageRiot: maybe you have .xsession-errors in $HOME [17:06] ok [17:06] Is it safe to mount and use a RAID array that is recovering? [17:08] betrayd, is that file contain info from a single session [17:08] there are errors [17:09] RageRiot: scan for mouse-related messages, usually gets replaced per session yes [17:11] cant see anything mouse related.. [17:11] i'll paste it . http://pastebin.com/FbjyApTy [17:12] what's the mousename RageRiot [17:12] cheap fujitsu siemens mouse [17:12] if I encrypt my hard drive does it get decrypted everytime ubuntu runs? [17:12] Yes. [17:13] it's odd because my gaming mouse (CYBORG RAT 9 ) doesnt work at all [17:13] It provides protection when the disk is physically stolen or somebody tries to access it outside of Ubuntu. [17:13] Once you are logged in, the file system is decrypted. [17:13] so if I use my system like a server, where it runs 100% of the time, then there is no point in encrypting my drive [17:14] TK-999, it would provide no protection from network attacks correct?

If you don't care that anyone with physical possession of the drive can read its contents, then don't encrypt [17:17] jrib, I see but if I do a remote reboot of my encrypted server how would I decrypt it in that situation? === uncle|sam is now known as Uncle|Sam [17:17] would it even boot? [17:17] this server is a netbook btw [17:18] ShapeShifter499: I'm not familiar with the details, but I imagine you would only encrypt parts (the data you want to protect) [17:18] Ok, Ive been on the #bash IRC, but the sent me back, how can i set up a udev bash script [17:18] dropbear http://www.howtoforge.com/unlock-a-luks-encrypted-root-partition-via-ssh-on-ubuntu [17:18] The_Ghost: http://reactivated.net/writing_udev_rules.html [17:20] Hey guys. I'm trying to migrate someone to a new machine. I wanted to identify what packages they installed on the old one. [17:20] Why am I getting this? http://cl.ly/ONJb But fuser and lsof say nothing is using /dev/md0... [17:20] Is there somewhere in /var I'd look, perhaps, to find out what was explicitly installed, instead of as a dependency? [17:21] I'm looking over the apt history trying to figure out what I would look for, but hoping there's an easier way. [17:21] !clone | nemo [17:21] nemo: To replicate your packages selection on another machine (or restore it if re-installing), you can type « aptitude --display-format '%p' search '?installed!?automatic' > ~/my-packages », move the file "my-packages" to the other machine, and there type « sudo xargs aptitude --schedule-only install < my-packages ; sudo aptitude install » (this may cause problems with multiarch before 12.10) - See also !automate [17:22] Also, anyone know of a good tutorial on how to remaster the ubuntu ? [17:22] jrib: cool thanks [17:22] jrib: heh. bot still recommending aptitude eh [17:23] nemo: to search for packages that were installed manually it's probably the easiest way. If you want to avoid it, look into apt-mark (iirc) [17:23] jrib: well. don't have it installed on any of my machines, and AFAIK isn't recommended anymore. wasn't aware of apt-mark. thanks. [17:24] I keep getting an error when i try to run 'sudo apt-get update' [17:24] error msg: 'E:Encountered a section with no Package: header, E:Problem with MergeList /var/lib/apt/lists/us.archive.ubuntu.com_ubuntu_dists_raring_universe_i18n_Translation-en, E:The package lists or status file could not be parsed or opened.

[17:28] RageRiot: if you can get a different desktop to run, preferably not compiz, see if the mouse works then. If you know how, add a user to use a differenmt desktop, without compiz [17:29] jrib: ok. but apt-marks showmanual still shows wildly different results from the aptitude command [17:29] jrib: and a much shorter list [17:29] I'm inclined to go w/ the more conservative one :) [17:29] that log tells us that compiz.desktop is failing and shifts to SW rendering RageRiot [17:29] I see [17:30] nemo: I know that in the past they used two different systems (for a long time only aptitude would track manual and auto). I sort of assumed they eventually used the same system, but that may not be the case (so installing things with aptitude manually would leave apt-get none the wiser and vice versa). I'm just speculating though [17:30] it's odd because --replace makes it work fine. all the 3d works etc [17:31] jrib: hrm... actually. sorry. my bad. diff was being confused by whitespace [17:31] jrib: the aptitude command appears to have a ton of padding whitespace at the end, apt-marks no [17:31] RageRiot: the -replace works then? pastebin the log before the -replace [17:31] jrib: anyway. thanks. core thing was this manual flag. had no idea about :) [17:31] nemo: good to know [17:31] jrib: shame it tags install packages. was hoping to keep things semi-clean on this fresh install. ah well. [17:31] ok [17:32] I'll rebot [17:32] perhaps I can do something w/ the log to filter [17:32] reboot* [17:32] hmm [17:32] nemo: you could generate the list on a pristine install and then subtract those packages [17:32] betrayd, how can I copy a log inside the terminal ' [17:33] Hi, I'm getting these errors in the console after launching gedit: http://pastie.org/7647253 [17:33] jrib: well. prob is this machine is pretty old. my thought is the list of installed packages shifts over time. and prob based on architecture. I'd wanted to do a clean install of whatever version that was on this machine I guess [17:33] would it be .old by any chance ?

[17:43] is there a difference in battery run time between (u|xu|ku|lu)buntu? [17:44] i would assume lubuntu would run the longest due to less graphic power required [17:44] buchstabensalat: since Lubuntu uses less system resources, the battery should be longer [17:44] but have no facts to back that up [17:45] betrayd gone, I've grabbed log of xsessison before I used unity --replace http://pastebin.com/FfqwTJABe [17:45] the issue I'm having it mouse is ignore on unity until I restart it in another console [17:46] Hi guys, what's the most minimal version of Ubuntu you can install?

[19:04] lastleo85, I would ask in #debian, not safely would be my comment in general depends on your skills really. ;) [19:05] think i need to reinstall === akshay_ is now known as akshay_r [19:05] jellostick backup important data, first [19:06] wilee-nilee: Am I correct in saying that UEFI mode is only available on 12.10+ versions? I'm attempting to get 12.04 LTS installed [19:06] sorry, why someone tell me use mp3 player? this is joke? ) [19:06] lzhang, Supposed to be in the 12.04.2 [19:07] wilee-nilee: Ok so perhaps I installed via BIOS/MBR instead of UEFI, and I should reinstall with that instead [19:07] wilee-nilee, I think the secureboot stuff was in 12.04.2 [19:07] wilee-nilee, IIRC, the UEFI stuff was before that [19:08] Hello everyone! :) [19:08] Just would like to thank wilee-nilee for his help last night. :) [19:09] lzhang, I can't really help with uefi with confidence, maybe tgm4883 can, my advice would be to use the ubuntu forums, there are daily users there concentrated on this area. [19:09] Mio-chan, Did you ever get things in order? [19:09] I'm not sure what the question is [19:10] Wilee-nilee - I reinstalled Windows and I'm back on my trusty dual boot system - on Ubuntu right now. Only had a few issues during the install but it worked nonetheless. [19:10] How do I set the MTU for a VPN connection? The networkmanager does not allow that for VPN connections. On the command line, "sudo ifconfig ppp0 mtu 1300" does the trick, but it needs to be executed for each and every connection. [19:10] Err, I found a W7 iso on PC World's website, used that after I went to buy some DVDs. [19:10] Mio-chan, Cool, clone that windows, and the ubuntu, that is what I do in general. ;) [19:11] Wilee-nilee - Any suggestions for what I should use for the cloning? === Lut|off is now known as Lutzee [19:12] Mio-chan, If you have W7 pro or above it has a imager that can be run more than once, I use clonezilla for both and the windows imager as well. [19:12] Wilee-nilee: Thank you! :) You've been a great help. [19:13] Mio-chan, The windows imager I like as it can be run from the OS, clonezilla ia a bootable disc, no problem best of luck. ;) [19:13] is* [19:14] how can i get an ubuntu server to use htaccess [19:14] scar better ask in #ubuntu-server [19:15] Hello, I have a dual boot system with Win 7 and Debian. I want to install Ubuntu and get rid of Debian. Should I do this by just installing Ubuntu in the Debian partition? [19:15] I'm having a lot of issues with a bluetooth dongle [19:15] M3ow delete debian, then install ubuntu on that partition [19:15] M3ow, Not in the same partition unless you rewrite it. [19:16] select the debian partition, and tell it to format [19:16] +1 ^^^ [19:17] M3ow , run Ubuntu installation , select replace existing linux system [19:17] .and see how u windows partiotion die... seriosly why that options kill my windows [19:18] ? [19:18] MonkeyDust: Wouldn't that affect the Grub? I don't have a Windows recovery CD. [19:19] M3ow , Ubuntu will rewrite grub, Windows must be there and work [19:19] M3ow and there are ways to repair grub, if needed [19:20] how can I backport to kernel 3.0? [19:21] Ok, so here is what I am going to do. Make a bootable USB with the Ubuntu installation and boot from it. Then select the Debian partition (first format) for the installation of Ubuntu. Sounds alright? [19:22] M3ow not format, but delete the partition [19:22] M3ow, You will use the something other option it is a manual install, choose that partition tick format ext4 and / as mount. [19:22] M3ow or what wilee-nilee says [19:23] Hello all! I have 12.04 LTS 64bit server installed. I have personal account + a specific aegir. I usually log with my personal account and then su -s /bin/bash - aegir as aegir user. With Suse I can configure aegir to sudo without password, but with ubuntu no success. I have changed my personal ssh key into aegir users .ssh/authorized_keys and added aegir ALL=(ALL:ALL) NOPASSWD: ALL with visudo.. But the login still asks password. [19:23] M3ow, but really think twice, i lost my 200Gb Windows files and crying now [19:23] I'm trying to mount my cdrom in dosbox, how do I find out what the destination for my cdrom is? i.e. /media/cdrom0 ? [19:24] John_m, Bummer, but your experience was user error right? [19:25] wilee-nilee, yes [19:25] Sorry wilee-nilee, I don't understand what you mean by, "use the something other option it is a manual install" [19:27] M3ow, There is a gui that gives you options in the install, use the whole disc or alongside windows..etc, there is also a something other option, this is a manula install where you specifically point the install to a partitions or build them there and install. [19:27] Ok, I understand now. Thank you. [19:27] M3ow, Cool, you will recognize it just ask us if you need to. ;) [19:28] hi guys! maybe somebody could help me with the following issue: i restarted my OS and now get stuck within the grub boot menu; the whole system does not respond [19:29] alinmear, what OS [19:29] I'm trying to mount my cdrom in dosbox, how do I find out what the destination for my cdrom is? i.e. /media/cdrom0 ? [19:29] alinmear, Any info leading to this that is pertinent? Like kernel upgrades or a modified grub menu [19:30] alinmear, u have some error text messages while boot OS? [19:30] bazhang: ubuntu 12:10 [19:30] moon`, try #dosbox === sigurd is now known as Guest62031 [19:31] wilee-nilee: i didnt modify anything, obviously its a standard installation of ubuntu; the only modifciations i made: compiled the v4l kernel modules [19:31] #drupal-support [19:31] ok, I'm trying to locate the directory path for my cdrom, how do I go about doing that? [19:31] John_m: no there is no error message at all; when i start the comp it gets immediatly after the bios screen stuck within the grub boot screen [19:32] alinmear, select in grub previous kernel to boot [19:32] John_m: i cant select anything at all; the boot menu appears and at the very same time the whole system freezes [19:32] John_m: obviously i am not able to select anytihing else [19:33] How do I set the MTU *permanentely* for a VPN connection on XUbuntu? I can change it per connection using "sudo ifconfig ppp0 mtu 1300"... [19:33] alinmear, Be careful with obvious here we only know what you tell us exactly, many varibles. [19:35] alinmear, when u see grub menu u can press down arrow? u have list of otpions or only one string? [19:36] wilee-nilee: yeah i know that the matter is not that clear and couldnt be; but as long as i am not able to trace the error i dont know what happens right there; i am using linux since 5 years and never had an issue like that; thought maybe anybody else could still pointing at the right direction, maybe a common bug or anything else, but i guess its more special then it looks like at the very first apperance [19:36] John_m: the problem right there is that the system is totaly frozen; so i cant choose anything else from the grub menu [19:37] alinmear, and boot still happen? grub menu disapper? [19:37] alinmear, I would see if supergrub will boot you in to avoid having to chroot or other methods so you can deal with it in the OS. [19:37] John_m: maybe i gonna make a chroot from an usb device and have alook at the logs; but as i mentioned above i never dealed with such an problem [19:37] John_m: no it sill get stuck at the grub menu [19:38] John_m: no autoboot, no response to I/O [19:38] alinmear, u have some thing serious, reset BIOS, check hardware [19:38] alinmear, chroot is right direction too [19:39] John_m: something else screwed my poor htpc [19:40] John_m: so there is no specific point to make, but thx a lot for all the responses! so i gonna trace it on my own ... [19:44] How do I find out what version of libnotify I am running? [19:44] !u | John_m [19:44] John_m: U is the 21st letter of the modern latin alphabet. Neither 'U' nor 'Ur' are words in the English language. Neither are 'R', 'Y', 'l8', 'ryt', 'Ne1' nor 'Bcuz'. Mangled English is hard for non-native English speakers.

Si vous avez besoin d'aide ou voulez discuter en français, veuillez taper /join #ubuntu-fr ou /join #ubuntu-qc. Merci. [19:57] elijah: use a real shell instead of using /exec in irssi, specially when its a root-task [19:57] elijah: you can easily switch terminals with screen [19:57] Pici: It says python-gi is already installed. When I do a dpkg --list | grep pygobject I get no results [19:58] iceroot_: Yeah, I am using tmux, I would rather be lazy though :D [19:58] omg can someone help me? I've got some questions about a fresh ubuntu / lamp^ installation. [19:58] elijah: I used apt-cache search python gobject [19:58] elijah: you have installed foo and a searching if bar is installed [20:02] iceroot_: Pici Thanks for that, very helpful [20:02] Hey guys, what's that link again for completely removing *buntu_desktop metapackages? [20:02] The script is saying it has a dependency on pygobject >= 3.0 [20:02] !purekde [20:02] If you want to remove all !Gnome packages and have a default !Kubuntu system follow the instructions here « http://www.psychocats.net/ubuntu/purekde » [20:02] Piete: ^ [20:02] Danke :) [20:03] Is dpkg --list | grep pygobject the most accurate way to determine if I have it installed? [20:03] elijah: no [20:03] elijah: dpkg -l | grep packagename and not dpkg -l | grep some_string_which_is_not_the_packagename === pie is now known as Guest547 [20:04] python-gi provides 3.2, elijah. Are you sure the script is based on Python2? Because if it's Python 3, you'll need python3-gi [20:04] Does anyone know if Ubuntu is planning to to switch from mysql to mariadb? [20:05] theadmin: http://ubuntuone.com/6vXWZ6tPO6kdrWQUSWXNrR [20:05] https://code.google.com/p/irssi-libnotify/ [20:05] Bodsda: its more like "is debian switichting to mariadb" [20:05] This is what I am trying to install. I am trying to just make sure I have all dependcies first. Because I couldn't get it working so far. [20:06] iceroot_: great answer... [20:06] elijah: "For Ubuntu, run apt-get install perl perl-base perl-modules system-tools-backends so the script will have dependencies needed. " -- right on their page. So, do that. [20:06] Bodsda: what is your problem with the answer? [20:06] Bodsda: if there is no special reason we will sync the debian packages [20:06] Bodsda: You know Debian... They never change anything :/ So likely not [20:07] theadmin: they switched to libreoffice imo [20:07] iceroot_: That's because OO.o was killed [20:07] iceroot_: They also switched to MATE instead of GNOME 2.x [20:07] theadmin: Okay, I have all those so I guess it isn't that then. [20:07] theadmin: i thought xfce4 is the default there (but i guess its offtopic here) [20:07] iceroot_: Oh, err, might be confusing them with... mint? idk [20:07] iceroot_: Well yeah, ot so whatever [20:09] Bodsda: http://lists.debian.org/debian-user/2012/11/msg01265.html [20:10] Bodsda: see also http://bugs.debian.org/cgi-bin/bugreport.cgi?bug=565308 imo ubuntu will switch when debian will do it [20:10] Debian bug 565308 in wnpp "ITP: mariadb-server-core-5.5 -- MariaDB dropin alt server" [Wishlist,Open] [20:11] iceroot_: yeah, I'm seeing similar email trails all over the place - no concrete info for ubuntu/debian yet but fedora, slackware and Arch have (or just as good as) switched - opensuse looks to follow suite === Uncle|Sam is now known as uncle|sam [20:12] Bodsda: i hope the rest will switch too. we are interested in free software and i guess mariadb is the correct way to go but i dont think it will be switched in the next time [20:12] iceroot_: uh, MySQL is free software too [20:13] theadmin: its like virtualbox-ose and virtualbox [20:13] iceroot_: I wish ubuntu would switch. It's lack of attention to community wide issues is depressing - you keep saying 'we' are you an employee or a dev? [20:13] iceroot_: Oh. [20:13] iceroot_: Well, there no longer is an OSE but I get the point :D [20:13] theadmin: or like oracle-java and openjdk [20:13] theadmin: and guess what? virtualbox, java and mysql are all from oracle and they destroy free software [20:14] iceroot_: Nope. OpenJDK is no reference implementation, isnt it? [20:14] bekks: but that is one of the goal (from there website) [20:14] ...wait, Oracle owns MySQL?... Suddenly. I missed one big piece of news [20:15] theadmin: they own everything from sun, virtualbox, mysql, java, openoffice [20:15] theadmin: seriously? ... [20:15] theadmin: openoffice is moved to apache now [20:15] theadmin: it was ages ago [20:15] theadmin, oracle bought sun, sun is now dead, etc. [20:15] theadmin: Thats a news thats few years old now. [20:15] Ehhh alright I get it people [20:15] lol don't lynch me [20:15] heh [20:16] Bodsda: but i am happy to see people like you which are interested in Free Software. [20:17] iceroot_: :) now, time for me to figure out how to replace mysql with mariadb in place on 13.04 RC -- gonna be a long night :) [20:18] Bodsda: They claim it's a drop-in replacement, remove one install other [20:19] It is working now, I restarted Ubuntu and I think my startup script actually needed to be a started up (manually running it didn't work) [20:19] thanks for all your help everyone (and patience ;) [20:19] Bodsda: Export your data first. :) [20:19] theadmin: they also claim that ATI drivers work and that unity is good - I'll take it with a pinch of salt :) [20:19] Alright, who's awesome with LAMP installations? :D [20:19] !ask [20:19] 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 [20:19] bekks: heh - yeah good point [20:19] Bodsda: Why does noone except me like Unity :/ [20:20] theadmin: Me does :) [20:20] bekks: Yay [20:20] theadmin: bekks - I'm afraid theres nothing left we can do for you - please accept this copy of Win8 [20:21] Bodsda: Whatever you are talking about. [20:21] Bodsda: ...I'm afraid Unity appeared a lot earlier than Windows 8. [20:22] theadmin: bekks - no one but me got the reference to a unified interface being a main reason for lack of adoption? :( [20:22] * theadmin hardly understands anything, it's almost 1AM [20:22] heh [20:22] Fresh install of 12.10 ubuntu, I've done almost nothing with it. My main login is sysop (as ubuntu and root don't seem to go well together). I've installed lamp^ using apt-get, everything installed fine. Now I'm trying to change the mysql password, and am having nothing but problems. I can log into mysql with NO password, but whenever I try to do anything, it says ''@'localhost' doesn't have permission... What's the default us [20:23] TacoGeek: It asked you for a password during the install [20:23] TacoGeek: root, and the password should have been prompted during the MySQL setup. [20:23] TacoGeek: The mysql root and the UNIX root aren't the same thing :P [20:24] the lamp setup didn't seem to give me a password option. :/ Maybe I need to back-track to fresh ubuntu install and try that again, but I don't recall getting the option. [20:25] TacoGeek: Try sudo dpkg-reconfigure mysql-server-5.5 (or whichever is there on your Ubuntu version) [20:26] TacoGeek: Which lamp setup? Did you install the lamp software to /opt/? [20:27] i "skipped network settings" on my ubuntu install. Now I want to enable my nice cards, eth0 and eth1. where can i find documenttation on that? [20:28] theadmin: omg, it was that easy?! I really REALLY don't think that the lamp install gave me that option. I might just re-do the install from scratch to make sure, and if not, would that be a bug? [20:29] TacoGeek: the reconfigure effectively reruns the install scripts, so whatever happens would have happened during initial install [20:29] TacoGeek: It wouldn't if you installed from the GUI, because that skips several configs falling back to some defaults I don't even know [20:29] oo, really? [20:30] Bodsda: Yeah, at least last I checked the software center had no way to interact with those ncurses config scripts === hypnokode is now known as sudokode [20:30] is there a package that implements the features in libuu? e.g. for commandline base64 encoding/decoding? [20:31] theadmin: that may be what happened then. I was pulling my hair out, reading every guide, and was wondering why some guides had those old-school shell "gui" look, and others didn't, it was just the sudo apt-get install lamp^ with nothing else. [20:31] theadmin: never would have happened with good old synaptic :) [20:31] ah, coreutils [20:31] bbbbb, Can you identify them from lspci in the terminal? [20:31] bonsoitr [20:31] quelle est la commande qui suit apt-get install X pour faire suivre l'(installation d'un autre paquet par exemple Y [20:32] Bodsda: Synaptic is confusing for new users -- they don't understand the concept of packages, trust me on that [20:32] !fr | lancien [20:32] lancien: Nous sommes désolés, mais ce canal est en anglais uniquement.

[21:11] MonkeyDust: quick PM? === s0nic is now known as electrofant [21:17] hi [21:18] bye guyssssss [21:18] i was trying to install ubuntu on my laptop, but it doesn't connect wi-fi so, i'm unable to proceed. [21:18] is there anything i can do? [21:18] i think its fdoesn't have the right drivers [21:18] Sal, what Laptop do you have? [21:19] let me find it on the net, wait [21:21] Guest37223: http://uk.hardware.info/productinfo/1729/olidata-stainer-w2800 [21:23] I'm running 12.04 Server, trying to clean out my boot partition, but whatever command I try, apt-get tells me I need to install dependencies for the new kernel, and there is no room for those. How can I remove the old kernels that I'm not using without installing a new one? This is what I tried so far: sudo apt-get -f purge $(dpkg -l linux-{image,headers}-"[0-9]*" | awk '/ii/{print $2}' | grep [21:23] -ve "$(uname -r | sed -r 's/-[a-z]+//')") [21:27] apt-get --purge remove linux-image-you-don't-need did work for me.. [21:27] dunno [21:28] I get this message: http://dpaste.com/1063948/ [21:30] and apt-get -f install does whatays not enough space? [21:30] how do i get adduser to not ask for full name, room number, etc? [21:31] does what? says not enough space?* [21:32] ozzloy: Use useradd? [21:32] ozzloy: But note that it's more lower-level. [21:32] useradd doesn't create a home dir [21:32] miksd, yeah it says I cant install cause of no space : [21:32] how do i create home dir with /etc/skel and such [21:32] i could do that too [21:32] delte manually some stuff from boot then [21:32] ozzloy: You can just hit enter and skip those prompts [21:32] ozzloy: For example, I don't give it a room number because it's pointless for me. [21:32] then do -f install and then remove unused kernels with apt-get [21:33] KatsumeBlisk, that's not a solution [21:33] miksd, what files are safe to delete from there? [21:33] KatsumeBlisk, i need the process to happen unattended [21:33] thanks though [21:33] KatsumeBlisk: I think he's trying to automate it by not making it interactive. [21:33] jpds, it looks like there are options for the home dir [21:33] so that's cool [21:33] * ozzloy gives that a shot [21:33] use useradd [21:34] miksd, http://dpaste.com/1063952/ [21:34] miksd: That's what I said. ;-) [21:34] jpds: ozzloy ahh. useradd is your option then. just make a script to make a home dir, etc. [21:34] jpds: sorry ;o [21:34] ozzloy: I thought you were just trying to not fill in those spots in the process. [21:35] miksd, all the vmlinuz* files except the one I'm using? [21:36] does a hard drive UUID change from motherboard to motherboard or is it tied to the hard drive? [21:37] shambat: delete some older initrd.img [21:37] ubuntuaddicted: should be tied to HD [21:38] then after you have installed new kernel remember to remove those deleted kernels with apt-get too [21:39] why is jupiter not supported in kernel 3.8 [21:39] any alternatives that I may use [21:39] What jupiter, besides a planet? [21:40] zykotick9, well, it's very important because I am changing out motherboard, cpu and ram of my server and things need be mounted back in the right place and i wasn't sure if the hard drive partitions UUID will stay the same [21:40] Jupiter applet [21:40] is it a known problem that Ubuntu wifi is horribly inconsistent on spotty school networks? [21:40] shinigamiryuk: What is it? [21:40] it makes Ubuntu unusable when I'm at college [21:40] enigmuriatic: does it do it on other networks aswell? [21:40] enigmuriatic: ones that aren't on school grounds, that is. [21:41] I used it to set the laptop to power savings mode to reduce overheating [21:41] Liam-away, i don't remember having problems on my home wifi [21:41] ubuntuaddicted, it is a random number, tied to the HDD > http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Universally_unique_identifier [21:41] enigmuriatic, I had no problems at the college I attended. [21:42] enigmuriatic: it is probably the colleges filter or blocking system [21:42] our network has a reputation for being a little bloated and iffy with connections (although it's reasonably fast otherwise) [21:42] things like Android phones work though, you'd think it'd be fine [21:42] ubuntuaddicted: honestly, i think LABELS make a lot more sense then using UUIDs - but both will stay the same. [21:42] enigmuriatic: if you traffic all your connections through ssh, or a vpn that is relatively fast, then you can bypass most of that [21:43] everytime i try to branch something i get this error, http://paste.ubuntu.com/5719998/ [21:43] enigmuriatic: i do it at school. normal connection 300kbps, tunneled through ssh (ubuntu server), 15mb [21:43] miksd, new error: http://dpaste.com/1063967/ [21:44] my server works fine [21:44] how to lower overheating in ubuntu 12.10 [21:44] it's just connected my laptop booted to ubuntu directly that doesn't work well [21:44] shinigamiryuk: Clean your fan in first instance. [21:45] hello friendly linux users. how is everybody today? [21:45] just got is replaced with a new one temperature lowered by 5-6 degrees but still the core temperature is 68 degrees which is way too high [21:46] enigmuriatic: the thing that would be slowing down your connection is either a crappy router they use, or the fact that their filter cant keep up/has low pings [21:46] deadweasel: if you have an ubuntu support question - you should ask it. general "chat" is in #ubuntu-offtopic. [21:46] hi [21:46] Hi. I'm trying to get recordmydesktop to record the audio from skype and need both my microphone and my speakers... how would I go about this? [21:46] zykotick9: how do you change arguments for a launcher in 12.04 unity 3d? [21:46] i got aprpblem [21:47] like, i want to start a program with command line arguemtns, but I want them automatically run when I click the button [21:47] i can't run videos on ubuntu, i got a few wmv videos encoded from howrd stern, they wont work [21:47] deadweasel, make a new .desktop file for the app/launcher you want. would be the normal way i think [21:47] sybian, don't use WMV videos (yuck) [21:47] deadweasel: ask again, without my nic at the front. "i" have NO idea, but the channel might (including my nick makes other think we are "talking") [21:48] tgm4883, : so if i follow your advise i should not even use mp3 [21:48] my bad zykotick9 [21:48] deadweasel: the Dr. to the rescue ;) [21:48] sybian, I'm pretty confident I didn't say anything about MP3, but let me check [21:48] i want to show howard stern and is there a way to watch them? [21:48] Dr_willis: the usual way? I just right clicked, empty document, called it app.desktop. [21:48] maybe a player [21:49] grep -i mp3 " sybian, don't use WMV videos (yuck)" [21:49] sybian, nope, no mp3 in there [21:49] tgm4883, : you are a very cute human, mp3 is proprietary so wmv is it [21:50] sybian, wmv can have all sorts of encoding oddities, where did you get them? [21:50] sybian: do you have ubuntu-restricted-extras installed? [21:50] from usenet [21:50] unrestricted extras? no [21:51] whhere to get those unrelicted extras? [21:51] usenet? bleh [21:51] you need to determine the codec of the videos in the wmv file. its possible its using some unsupported on linux codec [21:51] !info ubuntu-restricted-extras [21:51] ubuntu-restricted-extras (source: ubuntu-restricted-extras): Commonly used restricted packages for Ubuntu. In component multiverse, is optional. Version 57 (quantal), package size 2 kB, installed size 30 kB [21:51] hey, enyone can help me with GAMESS form Gordon? [21:52] Dr_willis: I have created .desktop file, but I'm not sure what o do from there... [21:52] don't see anyting in MyUnity either [21:52] deadweasel, take an existing .desktop file as an example and copy it and alter it as needed [21:52] for example gedit.desktop [21:52] cool, i will locate and edit, thankd Dr_willis ! === pie is now known as Guest32477 === karen is now known as Guest36002 [21:55] I don't know how to put pics in the "photo" section of Ubuntu One.

[22:06] how do you put photos in the photo section of Ubuntu One? [22:07] karen_, i am not sure because i do not use U1, maybe you need to make an album in photo's first? [22:07] uhhh humm don't know how to do that either. sorry === Guest8930 is now known as sybian [22:08] After adding a user to the ubuntu server, how do you specify which folders in the server they can view?

[22:19] ddsss: yes, to the root of the drive, NO partition number! so dd to sdb for example. [22:19] zykotick9: dd if=iso.iso of=/dev/sdb [22:19] zykotick9: right? [22:19] pendrivelinux site has tools to make live-usb flash drives also.. then theres the official ubuntu tools for the same job [22:19] ddsss: well, teh of part is correct (assuming sdb is the right drive!)

I see it works. It just says, "you have some hidden albums", but they are there in "Photos" in Ubuntu one. Thanks [22:23] ddsss: option 1) verify MD5 sum of ISO image you are using, option 2) it's a bug. [22:23] humm I'll have to see Ubuntu One channel.

[22:32] i've got a question [22:32] no [22:32] aw [22:32] well [22:32] gomike, theres some /etc/xdg-autostart directory that starts up some things when you LOGIN. if on BOOT theres the various upstart services you can configure/disable [22:32] mnack: Please don't flood; use http://paste.ubuntu.com to paste; don't use Enter as punctuation.

M no i didnt [22:32] Hello Everyone! :) [22:32] recompiling the kernel to disalbe bluetooth is a little extreme. ;) [22:33] is 13.04 an LTS version too? [22:33] carrera, no [22:33] Dr_willis: lol it'll be off if it can't possibly turn it on :) [22:33] could anyone here please inform me as to the difference between ubuntu netinstall and hdmedia installations? [22:33] hey dr_willis can you help me? [22:33] Dr_willis: more then a little i'd say ;) [22:33] Dr_willis, thanks. Are LTS editions released every 2 years then? [22:34] carrera, i think 14.04 is the next lts. [22:34] !lts [22:34] LTS means Long Term Support. LTS versions of Ubuntu will be supported for 3 years on the desktop, and 5 years on the server; with the exception of 12.04 (Precise Pangolin), which will be supported for 5 years on the desktop. The current LTS version of Ubuntu is !Precise (Precise Pangolin 12.04) [22:34] I rarely worry about lts or not. ;) [22:34] zykotick9, i cant get away with the feeling that the driver is glitching. how can i make sure evrything is alright? [22:35] Hey, I have a problem. I have ubuntu 13.04 and I use xrdp, because of a bug I need to edit keyboard shortcuts in gconf-editor in metacity, but in 13.04 metacity is gone and I can't seem to find where to edit those keyboard shortcuts. Any ideas? [22:35] !find dconf-editor [22:35] File dconf-editor found in app-install-data, dconf-tools, libdconf-doc [22:35] can anyone help me i just have a simple question about the different versions [22:36] I thought gconf-editor got replaced by dconf-editor [22:36] shouldn't be too tough [22:36] ohh so I should use that instead? [22:36] Im not even sure gconf-editor exists in 12.04+ [22:36] !find gconf-editor [22:36] Found: gconf-editor [22:36] guess it does. ;) [22:36] anybody? [22:36] kyrre_: if you use propritary nvidia, expect good performance - but unexpected results ;) i used propritary nvidia for a long time, it's great for gaming etc. but bad for freedom / stability IMO. are you SURE you are using the right driver for your card (1st thing to verify for sure) [22:38] netinstall vs hdmedia. using unetbootin. can anyone shine some light [22:38] ive never heard the term 'hdmedia' befor mnack [22:38] !netinstall [22:38] Ubuntu can be installed in lots of ways. Please see https://help.ubuntu.com/community/Installation for documentation. Problems during install? See https://wiki.ubuntu.com/CommonProblemsInstall - Don't want to use a CD? See http://tinyurl.com/3exghs - See also !automate [22:38] well shit [22:38] netinstall - a tiny cd that downloads most everything from the internet as it installs [22:38] curiouser and curiouser [22:39] oh ok [22:39] is it possible to "sleep" individual monitors on a dual monitor system? [22:39] and hdmedia? [22:39] still... where do I find keyboard shortcuts in dconf-editor? [22:39] ive never heard the term 'hdmedia' referd to by any ubuntu iso/images/versions mnack [22:40] Dr_willis: debian uses that term [22:40] weird [22:40] and live is the desktop version..? [22:40] Live is the normal desktop version. [22:41] ok so i think I got my parallel port card installed b ut I cant find the address to point my program at it... [22:41] technically, debian uses hd-media... [22:41] yayy found it thank you [22:42] jmnoz what do you mean by "sleep" ? [22:44] peyu: make it go dork [22:44] *dark :) [22:45] like a black screensaver I guess [22:45] which can be toggled [22:45] zykotick9 are u still there? [22:45] for individual screens [22:45] I've a laptop with an Nvidia GPU and 2 SanDisk 480 GB SSDs. I'm currently running 12.04 with Gnome Classic. The drives are RAID 0 === Guest93709 is now known as Red_M [22:45] jmnoz: I don't think you can turn off only one monitor if you're using 2 in dual view, you have to "unextend" in settings > display [22:46] I don't like Unity and zeitgeist. Can I configure RAID 0 with xubuntu? [22:46] or does it have to be the alternate or server editions for RAID [22:47] peyu: that's a shame, it's needlessly disruptive [22:48] !es [22:48] En la mayoría de los canales de Ubuntu, se habla sólo en inglés. Si busca ayuda en español entre al canal #ubuntu-es; escriba "/join #ubuntu-es" (sin comillas) y presione intro. [22:48] peyu: someone suggested using a black fullscreen image on one screen. It's a bit sad I might have to resort to that :) [22:48] jmnoz: well if you're using only one monitor, then just turn on the other in dsplay settings [22:49] Does anyone know how to disconnect the numlock LED from the numlock modifier in X11 so I don't have to choose between having a numeric keypad and remaining un-blinded by an eye-searingly bright blue light? (Or at least reliably trigger that X11 bug which causes the light to indicate that numlock is OFF rather than on) [22:50] Dr_willis, I have an nVidia GPU and 2 x 480 GB SSDs that I want to config with RAID0. I also don't like Unity and zeitgeist. Which is the best edition for me? [22:50] peyu: say I'm watching a movie on one screen (external from laptop). I'd like to be able to blank the laptop monitor but easily be able to pop in to look something up and then go back to dark laptop monitor again [22:50] kyrre_: am now ;) [22:51] i'm trying to make byobu start with irssi as per the instructions here: http://manpages.ubuntu.com/manpages/quantal/en/man1/byobu.1.html#contenttoc6 but they seem to be ignored [22:51] ozzloy: my recommendation, forget byobu, and just use tmux directly for multiplexing. YMMV. [22:51] jmnoz: in this case maybe the only thing to do is to set a black desktop background [22:52] zykotick9, cant get rid of the feeling that nvidia-96 is glitching. "no video mode activated" or sth similar is displayed when im booting, then the display get on and of like three time when i log into the gnome-classic session on 12.04 [22:52] can someone please help me find the address of the parrallel port I just installed? [22:54] does 13.04 desktop support RAID or do I still have to go with alternate? [22:54] peyu: yeah maybe [22:54] kyrre_: nvidia-96, you've got an old card. expect issues. I've personally had close to 0 success rate using those drivers. i hope you have better luck them me! [22:54] so netinstall vs live? on an acer aspire one netbook, via unetbootin/usb install [22:55] zykotick, oops, sorry version is nvidia 304.88. running a nvdia wuadro fx 1500..... [22:56] zykotick9, oops, sorry version is nvidia 304.88. running a nvdia wuadro fx 1500....96 was the first driver i used when i hooked myself on linux back then... [22:56] kyrre_: lol - that's a much different story then ;) BUT i've never had a quadro card. [22:57] anyone, isn't nvidia 310 the new one, helped by steam? [22:57] zykotick9, for example when i watch a video and goes to fullscrenn the display "blinks" (on&off) for quic, this is starnge didnt have these things in 10.04 [22:59] kyrre_: honestly, 10.04 was the last ubuntu i used myself... that was "solid", everything after is... not IMO (YMMV or in this case, not) [23:00] kyrre_: i hope someone else in the channel can help you, best of luck. i'm off. [23:00] YMMV? are u sing mint now? i loved 10.04, but wanted updates which will be running out end of this month [23:00] Your mileage may vary" [23:00] kyrre_: i'd say mint is worse then ubuntu, so no i don't use that (I also don't use arch ;) [23:01] kyrre_: yes, Your Mileage May Vary ;) [23:01] zykotick9, so what are u suggesting/using/ dont u wanna say be4 going off .) [23:01] :) [23:01] Figured it out. Basically, if anything uses XTest to press NumLock, the virtual XTEST keyboard LED changes state but the NumLock flag change bubbles up to the virtual master keyboard... so all I have to do to get the behaviour I want is run this on login --> "numlockx off; xdotool key Num_Lock" [23:02] kyrre_: i'm sorry, i don't have anything TO say.... but, best of luck. [23:02] how does one update drivers for a specific piece of hw in ubuntu? [23:02] TO? [23:02] zykotick9, thx, have a good time [23:02] kyrre_: sorry, just empashizing "to", my bad. [23:02] ddssc, To vague name the hw [23:02] kyrre_, according to the first answer @ http://askubuntu.com/questions/153915/how-to-install-drivers-for-nvidia-geforce-fx-5200-on-precise your quadro fx 1500 needs the 173 driver, not 96 ? [23:03] OerHeks: FTW ;) kyrre_ [23:04] OerHeks, yes i think this is the one installed but the server settings say version 304.88 [23:04] zykotick9 FTW ;) paece [23:07] Hello everybody, i'm still having a problem with my graphics in ubuntu 12.04 when I open some applications the screen gets kinda scrambled, anyone have a idea on how to fix that, my video card is a nVidia 6100 nforce 405 [23:09] kyrre_: see MDandrea above ;) best of luck to both of you. [23:10] MDandrea, welcome to my club !!! [23:11] kyrre_, on Nvidia too? [23:17] kyrre_, when I installed the Nvidia driver from the site, it worked for a while, but from nowhere it's stopped working, and i wasn't even able to log in unity3d, but if you thing it's worth a shot you could try the driver from the website [23:18] kyrre_, MDandrea the correct driver answer is in this post > http://askubuntu.com/questions/164054/correct-way-to-install-nvidia-173-driver-on-ubuntu-12-04 2nd answer "sudo apt-get install nvidia-173-updates" [23:18] do not use the driver from the site, you won't get updates and your system may brak on a kernel update [23:19] c/brak/break [23:21] 0erHeks, Thank you, I'll see if it works [23:23] 0erHeks, i think that's not the bug i'm having, cause i can install the drivers, it just don't run as desirable [23:23] help, i cannot move my windows anymore after playing around in compiz! [23:23] hello [23:24] kyrre_, restore compiz default? [23:24] MDandrea, xorg is improving, leaving older cards with less functions behind. this 173-update driver is the latest improvements to make it run on xorg 1.13, this is all i know.

[23:25] !ot | cummins1 [23:25] cummins1: #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! [23:26] I'm not sure then... [23:26] It would be much appreciated if someone that is familiar with UEFI could help me with installing Ubuntu on my laptop. [23:26] 0erHeks, thanks a lot man, maybe when MIR comes out it'll works fine? [23:27] thx [23:28] Is anybody well-practiced with navigating UEFI that would help me out with installation? Preferably via PMs. [23:28] join #ubuntu-offtopic [23:28] Hi guys. I need to install a package from quantal on precise. Is it possible? [23:28] i suck [23:29] Oh, darn. I thought this was for support... [23:29] I'll check off-topic, thanks. [23:29] how can I test if my mic works? console [23:30] at the top of /etc/profile i have export XDG_CONFIG_HOME="${HOME}/.config" and yet when i create a new user and log in as it, it's not in env. how do i set an environment variable system wide? [23:30] What? No. Off-topic is not for support. [23:31] nashant, we would not advise that, enable backports to see if your package is available. [23:31] !uefi | cllicker see this manual [23:31] cllicker see this manual: UEFI is a specification that defines a software interface between an operating system and platform firmware, it is meant as a replacement for the BIOS. For information on how to set up and install Ubuntu and its derivatives on UEFI machines please read https://help.ubuntu.com/community/UEFI [23:32] hi there [23:32] 0erHeks: Apparently the blktap-dkms package is broken for precise on kernels 3.3+, but the quantal one works great [23:33] OerHecks, I mean [23:33] i have a problem with flash player on my 12.10 ubuntu... video on chrome doesn't run [23:35] @ubottu I've been through the manuals. No dice. [23:35] ...that's a bot, isn't it? Figures. [23:35] wtf. if i add XDG_CONFIG_HOME="${HOME}/.config" to /etc/environment the string leaves "${HOME}" literally [23:36] what's the recommended way to set XDG_CONFIG_HOME system-wide? [23:36] nashant, then i think backports do not solve your issue, maybe you want to upgrade to 12.10 or 13.04 when it comes out @ 25th april [23:37] !environment | ozzloy [23:37] ozzloy: https://help.ubuntu.com/community/EnvironmentVariables === rcerny is now known as miup [23:38] Has anybody successfully installed Ubuntu on a system with UEFI? 'Cuz I could sure use some help with that facet. [23:38] ozzloy: is there a reason you want to define that by the way? [23:39] OerHeks: ~/.config is the value used if you don't set XDG_CONFIG_HOME, so there's not much reason to set it to ~/.config as far as I can tell [23:40] jrib, that's the recommended value, and if it's set, then byobu uses it for its config files and i want to minimize the number of .files in "${HOME}" for ... elegance [23:41] aesthetic reasons, i guess [23:44] Need some help with installing on a system with UEFI. [23:44] I've tried my hardest to decipher the advice on the Ubuntu site. [23:44] No dice. [23:45] ciao a tutti [23:46] jrib, if it's not set, then byobu uses ~/.byobu [23:47] clicker4721, The ubuntu forums has the best support with uefi at this time. [23:47] how can I install ubuntu 13.04 with JUST Gnome2 or MATE? [23:47] without Unity and zeitgeist [23:48] is there a software that (irrespective of OS. windows or linux) can show all the desktops of clients in the server app (in one screen with small mini screens of clients )at the server and the person at server can even control the mouse or keyboard of clients after selecting one? [23:48] carrera, #ubuntu+1 is the 13.04 channel until release. ;) [23:48] wilee-nilee, thank u sir. didn't know that! :) [23:49] hey, what would be a good room to get help with working on vsftpd? [23:50] wilee-nilee, cool name. What about #ubuntu+0.06 or #ubuntu++? [23:50] is anyone in the room? [23:50] 1702 people are! :) [23:51] 1700 are not talking [23:51] lol [23:51] you wouldnt by any chance know of a good room to get help on ftp servers would you? [23:51] 1703* [23:51] dcw329, It is support not chat, many are idle. ;) [23:51] dcw329, sorry, I don't! :( [23:53] dcw329, just asked on #ubuntu-offtopic for u [23:54] dcw329, unless its a public server, just use sftp. [23:55] well, i am working on a public server [23:55] my problem is ive set up vsftpd, and i can read flies, but i cant write any to the server [23:56] btw, its apparently alot harder than editing the conf file or changing permissions of the dir [23:56] no idea why it has to be so difficult [23:56] dcw329, try asking on #ubuntu-offtopic, bunch of nice guys there [23:58] my wifi works fine with all other os on my computer but it wont conect in ubuntu it just loads then ask for password again [23:58] what do people do here? [23:58] mporras: ask and answer ubuntu support questions [23:58] I'm been having some issues with horizontal streaking on 12.04 and intel graphics. 10.10 worked fine. Happens near swapout and ACPI? events (Launching VM's, hibernation, sleeping, etc) [23:59] any ideas? [23:59] great, thank you [23:59] i've tried the bios settings, but no luck [23:59] !support [23:59] The official ubuntu support channel is #ubuntu. Also see http://ubuntu.com/support and http://ubuntuforums.org and http://askubuntu.com [23:59] there mpkossen [23:59] and again, 10.10 worked fine [23:59] mporras, [23:59] carrera: please dont crosspost, and please dont suggest people go to -offtopic for support, thanks.
