No Windows box, so I've got to go this route. I've seen a bunch of free dos games on the net for download (that I paid money for when they were new as well) and hope to try them out. [01:03] hi, i just installed ubuntu server 12.04, where can i find the office source list for server version ? [01:04] or maybe server version is based on cdrom only? [01:04] official sources list?

[01:23] harris: look at the xpilot-ng web site for downloads. yes. it has windows clients [01:23] OerHeks: Raring. But the live cd is Quantal [01:24] Dr_willis, i dont want to download any games [01:24] dr_willis: Actually, I'm just straight up letting it reinstall right now. I previously enabled installation encryption, this time I'm only encrypting the home folder. If I get the same error, I'll be lost. Is the boot-repair tool on the standard install disc? [01:24] i want it to be in browser [01:24] clicker4721, Did you perchance use the bootrepair tool and have the bootinfo summary url? [01:24] Runemoro, why are you booting from a live cd? [01:24] tgm4883: It's on a VM [01:24] harris: then i guess you dont play much of anything.. or you go looking for browser embeded games.. [01:24] harris, you seem to be trickling out information. What exactly do you want? [01:25] harris: this spoonfeeding us all these details is getting annoying.. [01:25] a fun game to play with my bro on two computers [01:25] that is on the browser [01:25] CAN SOME one tell me what i need to do to UBUNTU to make my VERIXON MOBIL BROADBAND WORK? I run ubuntu side by side with windows 7 [01:25] hi,I am new here [01:25] harris, BS, that is not all what you want [01:25] Runemoro, i would use the kernel PPA > http://kernel.ubuntu.com/~kernel-ppa/mainline/v3.8.8-raring/ but raring support is off in #ubuntu+1 until release @25th april [01:25] no downloads [01:26] "no downloads" is not possible, harris [01:26] harris, so far i have seen that you want "a cross platform multiplayer game that works in the browser" [01:26] yes [01:26] harris, and I doubt that is even it [01:26] OerHeks: Ok [01:26] what you said was perfect [01:26] time to hit up google i think.. its not really a ubuntu support question [01:26] harris, http://www.kongregate.com/multiplayer-games [01:26] ok ill loke [01:26] look [01:26] harris, other than that, it's OT [01:26] OT?

[01:28] Dr willis any suggestions [01:28] OerHeks: Same error :( [01:28] anonymousman, also, VERIXON MOBIL BROADBAND isn't a thing [01:28] ...hours used to be the unit, since IRC is often left unattended in the background while real work is done :P [01:28] anonymousman, maybe if you said what device you were trying to use, people could help you [01:28] anonymousman: look up the EXACT device in the forums and on askubuntu.com and see if others use it [01:29] ive never used one of those 3g usb dongles.. but i thought for many of them you just pluged them and used the network manager to config them [01:29] dr_willis_, that is my understanding, of course drivers will need to be present for it [01:29] im usimg my android phone as a hotspot right now. no usb dongles needed [01:29] im having horrible horizontal lines running through the display after a fresh install of Ubuntu 12.10 . I'm assuming a driver issue however the screen appears fine during the Ubuntu start up screen the goes down when the password screen populates. [01:30] rolla91: I had the same problem too. Are you using nvidia? [01:31] yes nvidia on a hp laptop [01:31] The exact device is i downloaded wubi, i have ubuntu and windows side by side... I cant make my ubuntu connect with my verizon mobil broadband..i plug it into my USB port, its the one that says VZWCCESS I THINK THOSE R THE INTIIALS [01:31] rolla91: Switch to nvidia drivers, stop using nouveau. Also, try not to open many windows before you switch. [01:32] ok thanks for trying [01:32] Runemoro: i is newbz when it comes to ubuntu, how do i switch? [01:32] anonymousman, thats........ [01:32] anonymousman, do you have a verizon dongle that you plug into your computer? [01:32] anonymousman: please guys, get used to using lowercase or sentence case. [01:33] anonymousman: let me see if I can somehow help... [01:33] yes a verizon dongle [01:34] anonymousman, ok, what model is the dongle? [01:34] thank u icedwater [01:34] rolla91: Open system settings and System -> Administration -> Additional drivers [01:34] Im not sure what model [01:34] anonymousman, it doesn't say on the device? [01:34] let me see if i can google it and find a pic ...iv had it over a year [01:35] anonymousman, with the device plugged in, can you pastebin the output of 'lsusb'? === Tux is now known as StormTrooper [01:35] No just says verizone on it... its got a cord that i plug into th usb then u plug the dongle into the end of the cord [01:35] anonymousman: it could be written on a sticker on the back, or something.. [01:36] anonymousman, with the device plugged in, can you pastebin the output of 'lsusb'? [01:36] anonymousman: tgm4883 is suggesting you could plug it in, then type a command. [01:37] 'lsusb' will give a list of usb devices the system sees. So we can try to guess from there what is being recognised. [01:37] no when i got it ,it came with a instalation disck,when i wanna get in through windows i just click VZWACCESS and then it shows bars and i hit connect..its a 4g [01:37] anonymousman, can you please follow the instructions [01:38] vzwaccess, and 4G. Well anonymousman that is something to go on. [01:38] But it seems to be a problem between Ubuntu and the dongle. [01:38] im not in ubunto now im on windows.. [01:38] someone mention something about sikis3g [01:38] would that help? [01:38] Ah, well... then maybe in the VZWACCESS program, you have something like Device Information, or About... or something like that? [01:39] anonymousman, and I suppose that is your only access to the internet [01:39] Try to find out what model you have. [01:39] i just downloaded ubuntu like 8 days ago..im lost on everything and just learning [01:39] runemoro: under system settings-system- the options are backup,details,management service, software sources, time and date, universal access, user accounts. no administration [01:39] ICEDWATER, LET ME LOOK FOR DEVICE INFORMATION [01:40] anonymousman: no need to shout. [01:40] YES TGMA4883 ONLY INTERNET [01:40] sorry i cant see well [01:40] theres a ubuntu app for that [01:41] wilee-nilee: Is the boot repair on the normal install disc?

[01:41] clicker4721, https://help.ubuntu.com/community/Boot-Repair [01:41] i have ubuntu wubi downloaded to my usb not to a disc also guys [01:42] anonymousman: on IRC, uppercase is usually reserved for the beginning of sentences, acronyms or shouting. [01:42] anonymousman, Is there a receipt for the dongle on the verizon website naming the device? [01:43] Runemoro: under additional drivers it saus "no proprietary drivers are in use" but when I am in this screen the lines dissapeer. [01:43] Also, many clients have highlighting, so if you start a sentence with a name, that person will see your message in a different colour. [01:43] clicker4721, Run the bootinfo summary first and post the url if you like so we can take a look. [01:43] anonymousman: like so. [01:43] Icedwater my model is usb551L [01:43] And it is not unusual to see your own comments in a different colour as well. [01:43] who know which ime can input english with prompt [01:44] Yes, I thought I saw that on Google. [01:44] anonymousman: http://www.pcmag.com/article2/0,2817,2383397,00.asp [01:44] rolla91: What version of ubuntu are you using? [01:44] model name novatel wireless modem [01:44] 12.10, now the lines are gone however the display is unstable, blinking and such. [01:44] do u wanna knw all the info on my my broad band? [01:44] Yep, that seems to be it. [01:45] nvidia: module license 'NVIDIA' taints kernel. [01:45] anonymousman: if it might be more than a few lines long, consider using http://paste.ubuntu.com/ :) [01:45] do u need the firmware version [01:45] That could help. [01:45] But anonymousman we will only be able to see the problem if you're on Ubuntu. [01:45] ubuntu support nvidia card now. [01:46] Do you remember what messages you get if the connection fails? [01:46] Not if, but when. [01:46] Runemoro: 12.10 however the lines have dissapeered but the display seems unstable, blinking and such [01:46] wilee-nilee: Will do. [01:47] rolla91: The title of the window should be "Software & Sources". The tabs should be "Ubuntu Software", "Other Software", "Updates", "Authentification", "Additionnal Drivers" [01:48] how can I find out which kernel im on? [01:48] Runemoro: yes, that is where I am, I see nothing about nvidia in any tab [01:49] ...welp, he's off. I hope it's to track down error messages tgm4883. [01:49] Sorry @icedwater i got dissconnected [01:49] Ah, there you are :) [01:49] Runemoro: in the software sources/ additional drivers tab there is no information [01:49] Still on Windows? [01:50] Since you have Ubuntu on a USB stick, maybe you could use that to start another computer. [01:50] And see if the dongle has issues there. [01:50] GammaX-2 : uname -a [01:50] OK hang on [01:50] sparkss, gracias [01:51] is a parport considered a serial device? [01:51] i will only have internet to one,but thats what ill do [01:51] anonymousman, I see a bug report and a fix in the kernel released, are you updated in ubuntu. [01:51] Hmm, right [01:51] Oh dear. [01:52] Maybe you should write down stuff, on paper or in a text file, then put it on paste. [01:52] I only have the one broadband connection [01:52] anonymousman: before you go [01:52] Remember to check lsusb and usb-devices. [01:52] rolla91: Ctrl-Alt-T and type: sudo nvidia-xconfig [01:52] I was thinking of doing that as well, getting the stuff i need and putting in on word pad and printing it [01:52] They do kind of the same thing, but lsusb is more concise. [01:53] Yeah, I seldom print stuff :P But that's me. I'm a tree-hugging type, or I try to be. [01:53] is that on ubuntu? [01:53] I have a multi I/o Card and need to see if its possibly picking up the parrallel port and not just the serial ports... can someone advise? [01:53] Yes, anonymousman, those two commands will need to be entered in the terminal though. [01:53] please? :D [01:53] lol [01:53] anonymousman: you may have to press Ctrl-Alt-T to pull up a terminal. [01:53] ok and the termal u pull up by xtrl alt t right [01:54] (once you go black, you never go back.) [01:54] Ok i did have that right [01:54] Runemoro: Tried, says command not found [01:54] The terminal is pretty useful :) [01:54] so what will i type once there so i can paste it iv got my notebook open [01:54] my laptop locks up all the time. I have no idea why, and I'd really like to get to the bottom of it. [01:54] I ran a test to see if it was overheating (a couple for loops, watching the temps) and it got up to 80C, but it kept running just fine. Here's the logs from right before it crashed one time: https://gist.github.com/jab416171/5409690 (which is probably useless because the logs from the last time it happened are completely different) [01:55] anonymousman: in the terminal, either lsusb or usb-devices [01:56] hey jab have u tried cleanin your registry [01:56] rolla91: Type: sudo apt-get install nvidia-current [01:56] jab416171, You mentioned swapping before, the computer can become unresponsive when swapping, could this be the case? [01:56] Icedwater> ok i got that [01:57] What do you see? [01:57] wilee-nilee: my swappiness is "1", and I have 4 GB of RAM. I haven't checked to see if I'm using up my memory, I'll do that now. [01:57] icedwater> what is the reason it wont let me connect? when i installed it over windows one time it allowed me [01:57] Runemoro: ran, says unable to locate package nvidia current [01:58] Yes, Windows hides a lot of stuff from you, so you see very minimal feedback when things install. [01:58] It looks like magic, but with Linux more often you see more. [01:59] The trick is not to run away. :P === JoFo_ is now known as JoFo [01:59] Linux at the moment seems hard as hell, but im gonna master it [01:59] rolla91: sudo apt-add-repository ppa:ubuntu-x-swat/x-updates and after sudo apt-get update [01:59] Iv downloaded a virtual box to help [01:59] Yup, it's not that difficult. === albert is now known as Guest10927 [02:00] does everything work on a thinkpad w530? === GammaX-2 is now known as GammaX [02:00] dcope: you're going to have to define 'everything'. [02:00] ubuntu.com says it only works completely if it's preinstalled but lenovo doesn't even offer that. [02:00] icedwater: every single hardware feature [02:01] Yes, I know it is unambiguous... are you asking for advice first or leading us up to a problem? [02:01] That's more of what I meant. [02:01] icedwater: i'm asking before i buy. [02:01] i don't want to drop almost 3 grand on a laptop if hardly anything works. [02:01] dcope: Good thinking. [02:01] But don't you have the option to buy it with Windows first? [02:02] Yeah, that's the only option that lenovo seems to offer contrary to Ubuntu's website. [02:02] Then load up an Ubuntu live CD or USB, try Ubuntu as much as you like [02:02] If everything works, Ill buy this. Otherwise Ill buy the dell sputnik [02:02] Then install it if/when you're comfortable. [02:02] sort of hard to justify 3 grand on a laptop these days [02:02] icedwater: i have 0 intentions on using windows [02:02] dcope: generally I find laptop and operating system should be separated from one another. [02:03] (given that you can install Mac OS X on most laptops now. :P) [02:03] wilee-nilee: it's really hard to make it lock up [02:03] it just happens seemingly randomly [02:03] icedwater: and the hackintosh will work worse than my current system MBA [02:03] is there a list somewhere of OEMs that offer Ubuntu? [02:03] jab416171, That is about the level of my input a hypotheisi. ;) [02:04] dcope: I'm not sure it was meant to be anything other than thumbing the metaphorical nose at Apple. [02:04] Hmm... good question. Does any of the regulars know this? [02:05] (also, a guide to interacting with ubottu might be handy.) [02:05] Right, ubottu? [02:05] * icedwater winks. [02:05] ubottu: tell them about yourself! [02:05] icedwater, There ia a bot command list. [02:05] !usage | icedwater [02:05] icedwater: Hi! I'm #ubuntu's favorite infobot, you can search my brain yourself at http://ubottu.com/factoids.cgi | Usage info: http://ubottu.com/devel/wiki/Plugins | Bot channels and general info: https://wiki.ubuntu.com/IRC/Bots [02:05] icedwater: I have yet to find one. [02:05] Ah right. Thanks. [02:06] I think i got it figured out by using my virtual box...i'll talk to every one later thnx for helo icedwater [02:06] dcope: a quick google search showed dell,, and system76 and a few year+ old sites that listed other makers [02:06] dr_willis_: there's this (http://webapps.ubuntu.com/partners/oem/) but no links to actual models [02:07] Runemoro: ran that, then it allowed me to get apt nvidia-current, still unstable, blinking and lines [02:08] dcope, I believe the manufacturers have there own tweaked versions. [02:08] i imagine the companies change stuff so fast its hard to keep updated [02:08] ah [02:08] damn, all i want is an ubuntu machine that works. im so fed up with my macbook air. :( [02:08] dell i think had a slightly tweaked ubuntu for their stuff.. [02:08] wilee-nilee: forcing it to swap is fine [02:09] All right, I'm heading off for some work-related stuff. [02:09] Be back soon. [02:09] ive rarely had issues with any laptops ive had on ubuntu.. see what system76 sells.. i thought many of their machines are identicall/renamed/rebranded stuff from otehr makers [02:09] rolla91: Type sudo nvidia-xconfig [02:09] dr_willis_: thanks, ill check them out [02:11] rolla91: After you do that, reboot [02:11] Runemoro: says unable to locate/open xconfiguration file. new xconfiguration file written to '/etc/x11/xorg.conf' [02:12] rolla91: Ok, now reboot. Lines should be gone [02:12] i alwauys get laptops that come witn windows.. and swap out the HD ;) i put a ssd in for ubuntu these days. and keep the windows hd safe and untouched.. that way when i eventually sell/give away the laptop to my brother.. he can have windows back . [02:13] all procceses in ubuntu 64 bits are 64 bits ? [02:13] OerHeks: Yay! I used boot-repair and it fixed it :D [02:14] it would be nice if they would include boot-repair on the live cd by default. [02:14] Runemoro: you are awesome, no more lines! one more question, the factory hp wireless adapter is not being recognized, is there an easy way to get it working? === pie is now known as Guest95 [02:16] rolla91: Ctrl-Alt-T: sudo apt-get install linux-firmware-nonfree [02:18] Runemoro: finished, now reboot, or is there another command? [02:19] reboot [02:21] wife asked me once. when i told her to reboot the pc..... . 'what does shoes have to do with computers?'' [02:21] i dident even know how to explain the term to her..... ;P [02:22] Anyone know a good guide on "dialog" for bash scripting? [02:22] dialog? [02:22] dialog gives the old fashoned 'ncurses' type input dialog boxs' for user input. [02:22] used by the package manager systgem and a few other scripts [02:23] yeah, that [02:23] peaceblaster: I think just "dialog --help" is enough [02:23] ok, I mean I can get the interface up no problem I'm just confused about how its output works [02:23] #1 question about the dialog stuff in here.. tends to be 'how do i click the ok button, when installing the ms fonts package' ;) answer.. hit tab. then enter [02:23] Runemoro: still doesn't detect wireless, computer has a physical switch for wireless on/off and now the switch does work to turn it on/off but it still doesn't detect any networks [02:23] i thought it put its answers in enviromental variables [02:24] hmm [02:24] http://linuxgazette.net/101/sunil.html dialog tutorial [02:25] rolla91: Idk, try adking someone else :( [02:25] sorry [02:26] Runemoro: no need to be sorry! you have been amazing help! [02:27] Runemoro: Thank you very much for helping with the video driver issue [02:27] dr_willis_ thank you [02:27] dcope: is your macbook air an intel system? [02:28] anyone else have any idea on how to make my wireless card work with 12.10? [02:28] it appears to be a broadcomm card [02:28] rolla91: does the addational-drivers tool show any suggested drivers for it? [02:28] rolla91: are you dualbooting? [02:28] dr_willis_ : no it doesnt [02:29] rolla91: also i lerned the hard way once..boot to wndows.. use the switch to make sure the caard is ON.. and never touch that switch under linux. ;) [02:29] icedwater: no i am not [02:29] Ah, OK. [02:29] dr_willis_: yes, was going to point that out. [02:29] !broadcom [02:29] Help with Broadcom bcm43xx can be found at https://help.ubuntu.com/community/WifiDocs/Driver/bcm43xx [02:29] I was -very- puzzled because of the Vaio's windows switch. [02:29] But the error message was different from what rolla91 is getting so. [02:30] rolla91: what is your wireless interface called? [02:30] On ifconfig [02:30] rolla91: see if lspci shows the card also.. it might be sort of on./off ;) again.. i would boot to windows and make sure its on there.. [02:31] ive seen people spend an hr+ fighting with wifi cards.. only to discover the switch dosent work properly in linux. [02:31] <|nv|s|b|e> just make sure its on when you boot linux [02:31] shows broadcom bcm4312 [02:31] dr_willis_: yes, but rolla91 did say he is not dual-booting. [02:32] Hiyo, I'm having a strange issue. It seems that applications do not want to accept mouse clicking input. [02:32] i had a similer issue once with a sound card.. a power on straight to linux worked.. a reboot from windows -> hardware dident work in linux. [02:32] i am going to go through the guide ubottu left and try that [02:32] I can move my mouse around, but click (left/right) do not work. [02:32] clicking does* [02:32] Firstmate: that is indeed odd. [02:33] I can, oddly enough, use the top menubar (file, edit...etc) [02:33] Also, if anonymousman ever comes back... [02:33] Firstmate: so the buttons are working.. in some apps... [02:33] or some locations [02:33] In no app. [02:34] Firstmate: see if it works properly in the guest session, or in other window managers would be a good test. this is a very weird bug. [02:34] Only in Ubuntu related menus (like the launcher thingy, or the top navigational bar, or the unity launcher) [02:34] How would I test the window manager part of your request? [02:34] Firstmate: you are running s normal unity setup? or have you customized anything? [02:34] It's pretty much fresh [02:34] Firstmate: sudo apt-get install openbox , and select optnbox at the login screen to see if it works in openbox. [02:35] I've installed some dev things (CS student in uni) like python, ruby..etc [02:35] Anyone know how i can get lightdm working again? [02:35] also guest session in the login screen - may shed some light on the issue [02:35] Ok dr_willis_, I'm on the ubuntu system right now [02:35] jeremiah: sort of depends on how its broken. [02:35] So I'll have to get off to try it. [02:35] Firstmate: not really. [02:35] Well, if i try to use it, i get the low graphics error [02:35] Firstmate: you can use a console based IRC client in the consoles to stay here as you log out/restart X and so forth [02:36] You would need to try it on the Ubuntu system anyway... [02:36] Well I understand that, but I don't have a console irc cient setup atm. [02:36] I followed the instructions in the link, still no wireless card connection [02:36] dr_willis_: yep, I like irssi for that. Also, Ctrl-Alt-F1 to F6 (for most cases) should open more consoles you can use. [02:36] sudo apt-get install irssi fine? [02:37] Just log in normally, Firstmate, then you can apt-get install irssi and set it up :) [02:37] Dr_willis, If i try to use it, i get the low graphics session screen. [02:37] bbl [02:38] I have an AMD ATI Radeon x2300 graphics card [02:38] My multi IO card only shows up as using the 2 serial ports and not the parallel port... can anyone help please? [02:38] what's the default filesystem? [02:38] ubuntu on mine [02:38] jeremiah: not too sure about that. [02:39] qiyong: these days it's ext4 I think. [02:39] icedwater, what do you mean? [02:39] jeremiah: I mean I'm not sure how to help you. I suppose your ATI isn't cooperating... [02:39] Some people seem to have suggested things like setting acpi, nomodeset, etc at boot time... [02:40] is it easy to mine bitcoins on linux? [02:40] But it might be different. [02:40] icedwater: is ext4 stable enough? [02:40] icedwater, No, and itnever has. in the graphics card driver setting, i have no options. So i run off of the default fglrx or whatever it is [02:40] dr_willis_: I can't scroll up, was is openbox? [02:40] it* [02:40] Firstmate: yes, openbox is an alternate DM. [02:41] qiyong: I have had no problems so far. [02:41] icedwater, though, this only happened not long ago. ubuntu has been running on it for a year now without issues... [02:41] jeremiah: just out of curiosity, do you remember vaguely when? [02:42] icedwater, when it stopped working? two weeks ago. no one replied to my forum thread, so i came here [02:42] Because then you might find more clues in /var/log/apt/ [02:42] Could be something you upgraded that broke the driver... [02:42] thats what i am thinking [02:42] !redis [02:43] !redis-server [02:43] But that would also be buried in a stack of other upgraded packages. [02:43] it happened right after an update, i had to restart it for that update [02:43] At least you get some clues from history.log. [02:43] You know what they say about those who don't learn from history... [02:43] icedwater: So terminals created with Cntrl-Alt-F1-6 stay active? [02:43] ...they're doomed to reboot it [02:44] Firstmate: yes, those are started by the system. I forget where you can specify how many you want. [02:44] It's fine, just doing what dr_willis_ asked earlier. [02:44] Nice to know this irssi stays open. [02:44] Ah, OK. [02:45] create file name as /file . How to do that [02:45] icedwater, i think i may have cleared my logs.. O_O [02:45] :V [02:45] jiltdil: not sure about that. What are you trying to do there? [02:46] jeremiah: is there anything other than .log in that directory? [02:46] icedwater, noting just checking to make file name using special characters [02:46] icedwater: So I changed the window manager to openbox, logged in. but ubuntu threw an error. I can't see anything on the screen, so...I don't know how to get out [02:46] icedwater, in where? I cleared my home log files [02:46] I'm gonna have to reboot. [02:46] jiltdil: Ah. OK, escapes with \ usually work. [02:46] Firstmate: hang on [02:46] Hi everyone [02:46] Hello [02:46] jeremiah: in /var/log/apt/ [02:47] first time here [02:47] The system keeps those, you usually wouldn't have permission to delete them. [02:47] icedwater, like touch /\a ? [02:47] I have a question about Kubuntu and Compiz if anyone can help [02:47] i do have that [02:47] uhhh icedwater : How do you shut down via terminal? [02:47] jiltdil: Technically, yes. [02:48] But I believe those \/ should be the other way round. [02:48] icedwater, not working .. it is making file in / [02:48] And will be interpreted first as paths. [02:48] So permissions apply. [02:48] Yep, it works for most other characters though. :P [02:48] firstmate: sudo poweroff or reboot :) [02:48] Thanks. [02:48] firstmate: wait [02:48] Gonna have to find out how to google in this terminal when I'm back :V [02:48] firstmate: I didn't realise you were still here. :P [02:49] I left, but didn't know how to shutdown... [02:49] lol [02:49] I don't have a list of names on the side :P [02:49] icedwater, yea, i have those files. but ubuntu updates like every two days, so i have no clue whatsoever... [02:49] I'll be back later. [02:49] exit [02:49] jeremiah: maybe go to as close as possible to where the problem began? [02:49] icedwater, what do you mean? [02:49] firstmate / Firstmate isn't one to wait :/ [02:50] jeremiah: look around for the upgrade commands near about 2 weeks ago, since you say the problem started occurring then... [02:50] icedwater, i found the exact date, i made a facebook update when it happened about it :P [02:50] Also, will all the full-time Ubuntu support staff here raise their hands? :P [02:50] icedwater, could that help? [02:51] jeremiah: it could. That would narrow down your search through the logs. [02:51] (I was making a point. There are probably -no- full-time support staff here.) [02:51] icedwater, but how do i tell what date the log was? [02:52] jeremiah: well, in /var/log/apt/history.log, each block of updates is preceded by the date when the command began. [02:52] icedwater, ah [02:53] You see "Start-Date: $date $time" at the top of each paragraph. [02:53] um, why do most of them start at x.x.2012??? [02:54] Look for the Commandline: line. [02:54] If they are apt-get --yes then it's probably automatic updates? I'm not sure about that though. [02:54] My manual downloads all appeared without the --yes, so I'm guessing. [02:54] it was automatic [02:55] Also, I'm heading off now, will be back shortly. [02:55] k [02:55] found it [02:57] hi, does anyone know what "microcode: CPU0: update failed for patch_level=..." [02:58] It hangs on that screen for around 1 minute === xubuntu is now known as Guest35251 [03:12] test [03:13] jeremiah: test heard [03:13] !test | jeremiah [03:13] jeremiah: Testing... Testing... 1. 2.. 3... ( by the way, remember that you can use /join #test ) [03:14] Thanks [03:14] just making sure i wasnt disconnected === Wug is now known as Wug[Hyperspace] [03:21] paid irc support staff... ;) [03:23] Hello. I've attempted to uninstall apache2 several times (using sudo apt-get remove apache2), but it keeps returning. Does anyone know what might be causing that? [03:23] Or is there a way to see what caused it to install? [03:24] did you try purging? [03:25] No, I haven't. I'll try that. Is it possible for a program to re-install itself if you don't purge? [03:25] I'm fairly certain it isn't === Reina is now known as Guest72112 [03:25] Huh, actually, according to apt, apache2 isn't installed at all... but it's definitely running and serving an empty directory [03:29] Grivvel: dpkg -l | grep apache [03:29] So on Ubuntu 12.10 is there an easy way to make a launcher? [03:30] jda2000: what kind of launcher? [03:30] I'm running out of space on my duel boot ubuntu drive [03:30] histo: Aha! Thanks! Somehow apache2.2-bin was installed as well [03:31] I'm not sure what to do though [03:31] histo, for a binary I know the file name of. [03:32] I literally have 3.00 MB left but it's a 300 GB drive and I know I haven't used 300 GB's up [03:32] histo, say for example: /home/jda2000/Android/Development/adt-bundle-linux-x86-20130219/eclipse [03:33] joshuakade, Check /var/logs [03:34] hiso, I can't seem to be able to just drag it over from nautilus. [03:34] What am I looking for [03:35] jda2000, It is root check the properties for the data amount. [03:36] histo, I think I found it: http://www.howopensource.com/2012/10/create-application-launcher-add-icon-to-unity-ubuntu-12-10/ [03:36] I have the following dhcpd.conf file. http://dpaste.org/JkuPz/ However, when I try to start the dhcpd process, I get the following error message.

[03:37] histo, OK, thanks. [03:38] I'm confused [03:41] Hey folks. Anyone know which file xchat uses to store info for favorite servers and channels? [03:41] jda2000: find /usr/share -name '*.desktop' [03:42] contrapunctus: somewhere in ~ check for .xchat or in .config [03:42] What does that mean wilee-nilee?

But which file? === chaos_ is now known as soahccc [03:43] joshuakade, what does what mean? [03:43] contrapunctus: don't have xchat installed can't help there. man xchat should yield some info on config possibly [03:43] "It is root check the properties for the data amount" [03:44] contrapunctus: howbout grep -i 'server' ~/.config/xchat/* [03:44] greetings [03:44] histo: Oh, wait. Got it. servlist_.conf. The entries after J= under the relevant server are the autojoin channels. Thanks :) [03:44] wilee-nilee"It is root check the properties for the data amount" [03:44] joshuakade, /var/log is in your root part of the OS. Right click log and it will tell you how much data is in there. [03:45] ive seen many people in here over the last few months that get HUGE amount of log files - sevral gb worth at times. [03:45] right click then clicl properties [03:45] wilee-nilee : Contains: 191 items, totalling 5.2 MB [03:45] (some contents unreadable) [03:46] dr_willis_: logrotate is your friend [03:46] sudo du -hs /var/log may also tell you how many mb is in there [03:46] joshuakade, Cool I was just following what I saw others check for in a similar situation. [03:46] histo: yea. excet i think some of these were the x error logs in the users home. [03:47] dr_willis_: oh yeah those don't get rotated [03:47] dr_willis_: they should get purged though if they don't have stuff owned by another user. [03:48] What do I need to do in order to increase the amount of space Ubuntu can use? [03:48] yea. makes me wonder if there shouldent be some sort of startup check to clean out older x org log error files.. or try to break them down into smaller chunks so older ones can get removed [03:48] joshuakade: what kind of install? [03:48] Duel install with Windows Vista [03:48] joshuakade: not a wubi install? [03:49] wubi? [03:49] did you boot a cd/usb to install? did you make partions for the system? [03:49] histo, It looks like I have more of those .desktop files than I have apps...... [03:49] I used the installer from the Ubuntu website... histo [03:49] joshuakade: if you used wubi i'm not sure I believe it's a file contained on your C drive. not a seperate partition [03:50] joshuakade: you may have to search askubuntu not too many people here use wubi [03:50] joshuakade: pastebin the output of the 'mount' command.. a of 'df -h' it will tell us some basic info [03:50] joshuakade: and sudo fdisk -l in your pastebin also [03:50] the days of wubi - are numbered... ;) [03:50] does anyone know if their is any known tool to fix the "overlapping partitions" error in gparted? [03:51] how can I tell if my log files are encrypted? [03:51] Pinkamena_D: You could try having gparted fix the errors [03:51] bigbadben: try to read them? ive never seen them encrypted .

[04:05] i made last update yesterday... and this morning i started the computer but it freezes when it comes ubuntulogo screen (ubuntu12.10) [04:05] sorry for my english :) [04:06] i thnk it was kernel upgrade [04:06] Is their anyone here who can help me find the problem If i post my partition table? === Liam- is now known as Liam-away [04:07] I have been looking over the guide but I am a bit lost [04:07] Is there a better way to check what programs are installed than 'dpkg --get-selections | grep -i "program"'? [04:08] kermit: try "dpkg -l program" [04:08] lnx-e: do you get a grub menu when you boot right now (to select other kernels)? if not hold SHIFT while booting, and see if using an older kernel works (assuming you have one). [04:08] Pinkamena_D, post I can try [04:08] thank you for replying. [04:08] http://pastebin.com/3maDrbED [04:08] Korbit: try "dpkg -l program" [04:09] kermit: wrong name, sorry :( [04:09] Pinkamena_D, what am I looking for? [04:09] gparted says their are overlapping partitions [04:09] Stanley00: thanks, that works a lot better and is easier to type. [04:10] Korbit: you are welcome ;) [04:10] i recovered grub (boot-repair) and i tried advanced grub menu... i tried other options oother kernel options [04:10] histo, how would one do something like that [04:10] they all look to be in a fairly linear order, not including the extended. (but thats normal, right?) [04:11] Pinkamena_D, does it not let you boot or whats the issue? [04:12] joshuakade: don't know I would search askubuntu i'm sure someone has asked on there [04:12] gparted wont let me do anything. All the partitions boot correctly. This is a problem because things aill not auto mount now, and I cant clone to my new drive [04:12] zykotick9 : [04:12] lnx-e: sorry, i don't have any suggestions for you. best of luck. [04:13] : thnk you very much [04:13] !tab > lnx-e [04:13] lnx-e, please see my private message === wally__ is now known as Guest40827 [04:15] Pinkamena_D, when did you make these new partitions? [04:16] well, It was stupidly a long time before I noticed anything was wrong. [04:16] I am 90% sure the last change i made was changing the size of the swap [04:17] If you are asking literally when, I think 2-3 months ago [04:17] either way your sda2 and sda5 look like they are overlapping you might want to ask on a second opinion tho [04:18] hmm. sda2 would be a primary partition. while sda5 would be a logical Inside an extended.. [04:18] is the swap partion sda2 or sda5? [04:18] situation: i only have a keyboard connected to a ubuntu box i want to pull files from.... problem: how do i open a terminal emulator from the ubuntu desktop without the use of a mouse? [04:19] Ctrl + Alt + T [04:19] Dr_willis, you can take a look here http://pastebin.com/3maDrbED [04:19] rdil: alt-ctrl-t, or tap the super key and type terminal [04:19] thanks :) [04:19] dr_willis_: thanks to GPT, those rules no longer apply :) [04:19] Dr_willis_, you can take a look here http://pastebin.com/3maDrbED [04:19] Would a LibreOffice Calc or Excel master plz message me if you're out there? [04:19] tbh I dont know [04:19] what is the super key, btw? [04:19] wait [04:20] well it cant be SDA2 [04:20] because that encompasses all of the other ones [04:20] rdil: windows key, poorly named really. [04:20] ah, that did nothing. i tryed ctl esc too, ctl alt t works perfectly though :) [04:21] rdil : If you're using XFCE, it easily lets you set shortcuts - mine's set to Alt+` [04:21] the one clue I saw on gparted manual was this "At least 2 sectors of unallocated space are required in front of logical partitions. " [04:21] zykotick9: meta key or super key [04:22] zykotick9: super key [04:22] how can you tell if the partition is logical? =P [04:22] sda1 and sda2 look like they are overlapping by 10 blocks here. [04:22] sda 1,2,3,4 would be primaries.. a logcal would be sda5+ [04:22] this was just a stock install. i don't know if it was xfce or gnome though [04:23] but reguardless, thanks guys. i'm set now that i have a terminal :) [04:23] and a extended partition is holding the logicals [04:23] sda2 may be the extended holding the logicals. [04:23] sda2 has a start value well above sda1's end value? [04:24] why is it overlapping? [04:24] the end of sda1 seems to be overlapping the beginning of sda1 from what im reading [04:24] rdil, if you want a real terminal press ctrl+alt+F! =D [04:24] oops [04:24] sda2 and sda1 [04:24] sorry, ctrl+alt+F1 [04:25] oh crap [04:25] wait dont press it [04:25] looks like you got (sda1) (sda2 ) (sda3) (sda4) [04:25] I hope hes ok [04:26] strange, ctl alt f4-f8 didn't do shit :P [04:26] Pinkamena_D: is it a large hd and gpt partitioned?

[04:26] sorry [04:27] yes, I used gparted [04:27] I don't know why it caused this error === azend is now known as DGNP [04:28] also to me its looking like (sda1) (sda2 ) (sda4) === DGNP is now known as Azend [04:29] hmm.. sda3 should be a primary. not a logical.. === Azend is now known as azend [04:29] * dr_willis_ is getting eyestrain from squinting at the #'s [04:29] gparted should show it in a nice graphic. ;) [04:29] lol, but it wont because their is an error [04:29] but I cant find the error [04:30] looks like sda1 is overlapping sda2 to me [04:30] why do you say that? [04:30] I am trying to figure it out [04:30] the #'s show the end of sda1 to be like 10 more then the start of sda2 [04:31] Pinkamena_D, sda1 ends at 48928319 while sda2 starts at 48943102 (sda2-sda1)=14783 [04:31] or am i missreading [04:31] or dr_willis [04:31] histo: ya, i don't find anything "super" about windows ;) [04:31] hi everyone, i just installed Lubuntu(on a old machine) but it doesn't detect my Nvidia chipset like Ubuntu, i don' t know how to get the proper drivers [04:32] Oh god I'm blind [04:32] 4that is a bigger number right? I am not making that up? XD [04:32] is there a way to get a total progress meter for cp?

[04:33] No, can't see anything. Used xsomthing to input a bad res and rebooted [04:34] if it's 12.10 the additional drivers in software sources won't work [04:34] for nvidia-current [04:34] didn't write any files directly [04:34] Idiothelp: if its in your xorg.conf use the text mode option to boot to text mode and rename the /etc/X11/xorg.conf file [04:34] !text [04:34] To start your system in text-only mode append 'text' (without the quotes) to the kernel line in the grub menu.

[04:36] where is the overlap? [04:36] CFenix: what version of lubuntu? [04:36] Pinkamena_D: if you have made a 'recovery dvd' set for wundows. then you can most likely delete the compaq partitions. but be sure you got a backup/restore disk set made [04:37] bigbadben: oh man, i haven't heard "compaq diagnostics" in YEARS - i worked for compaq (in tech support) for a number of years. thanks for bring back some bad, and good, memories ;) [04:37] 12.10, and yes it is old, but i never had a problem with Ubuntu detecting the graphic chipset [04:37] CFenix: http://www.dedoimedo.com/computers/ubuntu-quetzal-nvidia.html [04:37] I dont care about the windows, I just use it to play one game that I cant get to work with wine [04:37] should still work for lubuntu [04:37] that is the only method, the manual way [04:37] !text | falcom_ make text mode the default and it will boot to the console. and can then be headless -> [04:37] falcom_ make text mode the default and it will boot to the console. and can then be headless ->: To start your system in text-only mode append 'text' (without the quotes) to the kernel line in the grub menu.

For more info see https://help.ubuntu.com/community/BootOptions#Text%20Mode [04:37] you cant just install nvidia-current, you have to build against the linux-source [04:37] Pinkamena_D, there is no overlap that I can see but I once tried installing Ubuntu 12.10 on my brothers compaq and it would only let me make more than 4 partitions or something crazy like that [04:37] in 12.10, that is [04:38] zykotick9, you poor thing tech support is the worst I am sure it was awful at compaq as well [04:38] ubottu: why are some tutorial stating that i should modify /etc/lightdm/lightdm.conf? [04:38] falcom_: I am only a bot, please don't think I'm intelligent :) [04:38] well this is actually an IBM thinkpad, I have no idea why gparted is calling it a compaq [04:38] dr_willis_: why are some tutorial stating that i should modify /etc/lightdm/lightdm.conf? [04:38] bigbadben: it was a lot better then Dell ;) [04:39] lol [04:39] everything is a lot better then dell [04:39] falcom_: depends on what you want to do.. for a headless box. theres no point in starting ligghtdm. how you keep it from startisn is up to you [04:39] falcom_: because theres differnrt ways to stop the service from starting [04:40] zykotick9, next your going to tell me you worked for gateway lol all done no more off topic I swear [04:40] text mode will stop any of the *dm login managers from starting [04:41] hi [04:41] ok well as another option is their a forum you guys would recommend I put this in? I really don't want to start from scratch, this is my daily work and play computer [04:41] Pinkamena_D, your sda2 and sda6 both end on the same block try making one one block bigger [04:41] I think I rmd xorg.conf, but still booting to a bad res [04:42] I fooled with it via xrandr [04:42] ok I will reduce the swap a little on both ends [04:44] Pinkamena_D, let me know how it works you may be the first person I have ever successfully helped here lol [04:44] lolwut [04:44] Pinkamena_D: you could just delete the swap and remake it...

I had one but put some stuff I didn't understand through xrandr [04:46] I have used clonezilla before to make a backup of a ubuntu partition, I was able to "clone" that backup over any fresh install of ubuntu to restore my system, can I use this method to make my system encrypted? (run ubuntu install, make sure it encrypts new install, use clonezilla partition restore to restore my system into the encrypted partition) [04:46] Idiothelp: each user can have their own res setting - via that monitors/display tool. [04:48] dr_willis_ I can't see anything [04:48] well I cant edit it when I am running from it...be back in a bit [04:48] I was trying to set a custom res [04:48] i thought you got it working with xrandr? [04:49] how did you set the res? what application? [04:50] xrandr -set somethig [04:50] I'm trying to do the same thing with the prev res now, I thibk [04:50] that wouldent be a perment change [04:50] Hello everyone [04:50] how are you seeing to use that xrandr command then? [04:51] Guessing my way to getting gterm window up [04:51] !info gxrandr [04:51] Package gxrandr does not exist in quantal [04:52] Still broken :'( [04:52] theres some gui front ends to xrandr [04:52] but xrandr would not make the change perment. === lantizia_ is now known as Lantizia [04:52] Idiothelp: so is the lightdm login screen the correct res or not? [04:53] Nope [04:53] xrandr --output [04:53] Trying to set it back to the original didn't work [04:53] where can solve problem to ubuntu? [04:53] if lightdm is incorrect. then i would double check that you have removed the xorg.conf file [04:54] !ask [04:54] 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 [04:54] I'll try that again what's the correct path to xorg.conf? [04:54] /etx/X11/ [04:54] /etc/X11/ [04:55] remove it, restart lightdm --> sudo service lightdm restart and see if the res is correct got lightdm and the guest user. [04:57] Got a nosignal like it was gonna go to a mode, but didnt [04:57] Do i need to login again? [04:57] To awesome [04:57] if you restart44d the lightdm servie it should be at the lightdm login screen [04:58] Well, back to a terminal and still can't see.anyrhing. any other ideas? :( [04:59] you mean a CONSOLE? [04:59] or are you at a low res X session? [04:59] I can put commands into a terminal [05:00] hello all, how do I make LoveFilm work in ubtuntu 12.04? [05:00] are you in X now? or are you at the CONSOLE? [05:00] X session [05:00] Awesome, specifically [05:00] so how did you login if you cant see? [05:00] I just typed my password in [05:01] I'm sure I'm at a yerminal because reboot now temporarily shuts off mouse/keyboard [05:01] To install LOVEFiLM run the following command in a new Terminal window: [05:01] sudo apt-get update && sudo apt-get install lovefilm-desktop [05:01] so you basically have a low res screen? or is part of the monitor/screen not showing? [05:01] Thanks, what about the MS Silverlight software?? [05:02] No screen at all [05:02] Streppy: good luck getting silverlight working in wine.. its doable but a challange. [05:02] Idiothelp: so how did you verify you deleted the xorg.conf? [05:02] I ensured that I typed it correctly [05:03] Also I tried locatong pne beforehand [05:03] Idiothelp: and why dident you just go to the alt-ctrl-f1 console ? [05:03] or use ssh if you can ssh in from a differnt box [05:03] That doesn't work either :/ [05:03] Ctrl alt f1 [05:04] what do I need to do in Wine? You make it sound like it's not possible which is a bit scary as I'm a complete beginner on ubuntu. [05:04] doesn't work [05:04] i would suggest rebooing into text mode and see if the consoles work and verify the xorg,conf file is gone and see if you can start a x session from the text consoles [05:04] There wasn't an xorg.conf in the.first place [05:04] Only xorg.conf [05:05] Streppy: silverlight is not going to be easy to get going in wine at all.. its taken a LONG time for someone to get netflix with silverlight working in wine [05:05] .d folder with input srttings [05:05] Idiothelp: and a user running an xrandr command would not affect the whole system.. so you got somthing very odd going on [05:05] install Moonlight 1.0 Siverlight of linux http://www.go-mono.com/moonlight/ [05:06] Streppy: what is LoveFilm anyway? [05:06] and you can watch video [05:06] Cable was loose lmao [05:06] moonlight does not work with DRM protected vvideo [05:07] What's the proper way to upgrade from xserver-xorg-core to xserver-xorg-core-lts-quantal?

[06:57] a little [06:57] a very little [06:57] I know I need to mount and unmount that is about it [06:59] linuxdumb: ok, a linux filesystem structure starts at / and the bit your used to seeing is in /home/username/ - when you mount another system, its / is at the mountpoint on whatever other system your using, so all files from /mount/mydevice are the same as the files from / if you booted into that system [07:00] yeah that is what I thought it might be yet it does not look that way, everything is weird from the mount point [07:01] hey all\ [07:01] Hello. [07:01] linuxdumb: define 'weird' [07:01] lol [07:01] it does not look the same in terms of directories etc... as it did when it was the boot [07:02] Hi everyone [07:02] linuxdumb: can you show me the directory structure using pastebin? [07:02] god bless the usa fuck alquita [07:02] Anyone? [07:02] tjthegeek: language [07:03] lol gime a pass please [07:03] the username and password on the current lubuntu is different to the old faulty one, could that be the problem [07:03] linuxdumb: no [07:03] Can I switch to ubuntu 13.04 stable from nightlies after release? [07:03] !final [07:03] If you install a development version of Ubuntu Raring and keep up with package updates, then you will be upgraded to the official release of 13.04 when it comes out. To make sure, type « sudo apt-get update && sudo apt-get dist-upgrade » in a terminal. [07:04] burakgon: afaik that should happen on release [07:04] sorry I don't really no how to do that but will give it a try [07:04] Thank you so much [07:04] linuxdumb: in a terminal type 'ls /mount/mydevice' then copy and paste the output to paste.ubuntu.com [07:04] But will it get 13.10 packages after it? I don't want that [07:04] Because of nightlies [07:04] burakgon, nope [07:05] burakgon: no, you will then be as a clean install [07:05] Thanks! [07:05] Love you l [07:06] for username with the ls command do i use the current one or the one for the faulty os? [07:06] linuxdumb: the one on the faulty usb [07:07] ok [07:07] 12.04. Something filling my HD. Can't find it. Help. [07:09] Hey jstrake use "disk usage analyser" tool [07:09] It's pre installed [07:09] burakgon, Thanks. I did but the numbers don't match. [07:10] no such file or directory so sorry but I can't seem to get that to work, maybe I have the username wrong but it was the default which i think was lubuntu [07:10] linuxdumb: lets start with just ls /mount [07:10] Check partitions with "df" command [07:11] burakgon, can you give me more specifics on that command? [07:11] try ctrl + h shortcut to see hidden files [07:11] same result [07:11] which agrees with what i see in file manager [07:11] linuxdumb: is the usb drive mounted yet? [07:12] Generally programs using home folder to save data. Maybe there is a hidden folder. [07:12] yes, so i am confused [07:12] linuxdumb: please pastebin the output of mount [07:12] I want to install gnome 3.6 on my ubuntu 12.10 [07:12] kindly help [07:12] hi [07:12] how to do that [07:12] !gnome-shell [07:12] yup [07:12] hhmm [07:13] ? [07:13] !notunity | rohitkav [07:13] rohitkav: Ubuntu 11.10 and higher use the !Unity desktop environment by default.

I was recently hired as an SDET for a company that uses Oracle/Java/Linux and I was formerly at a Microsoft shop. I want to know, is there a huge difference between Red Hat, Oracle Linux, or Ubuntu? [07:13] in file manager it shows up as pendrive under places but when i go to directory structure it is not under mount, mount is empty [07:13] Bodsda, please /msg ubottu if you dont know [07:13] not unity bazhang [07:13] Is '!' sign a alias to apt-get install? [07:13] I have a VM with Oracle Linux and am wondering if I still need to install VMs with Red Hat and Ubuntu. [07:14] rohitkav, read what the bot actually wrote [07:14] I just wanted to change the way it looks [07:14] linuxdumb: look in /media/ [07:14] I couldn't get what he mean their [07:14] bazhang: could have sworn I'd used that before - may have been on another bot, my bad [07:14] burakgon, df shows only 950M left in my main ubuntu partition. [07:14] rohitkav, gnome-shell <---------- [07:15] Silne30: different package managers, and default packages, and configurations [07:15] yes [07:15] rohitkav, install that. [07:15] bods, there is nothing to show you under mount, I don't understand why it is there when it is clearly mounted [07:15] I mean why it is not there [07:15] linuxdumb: I'm not after a directory listing now - I meant run the command mount [07:15] Try "mount" command [07:16] Check etc fstab by "nano /etc/fstab" [07:17] Silne30: but once you are proficient in cli you are good in all [07:17] ok, the pendrive shows using mount as under /media [07:17] linuxdumb: ls /media/ [07:17] linuxdumb: look in /media/ ;) like i said earlier....

[07:27] Biomechd: let me check [07:28] what 'flash settings thing' do you mean exactly? [07:28] Dr_willis: when you right-click the game screen and click "settings" [07:29] seen varioys work arounds.. such as fullscreening the thing, holding shift, and i seem to recall a few other tricks from ages past.. [07:29] i think holding the right mouse button and clicking with the left also worked for some people [07:30] this was a common flash issue a few months/year back [07:30] fullscreening the game window didn't work. i even tried popping the game out into a second window and fullscreening it. [07:30] would sudo apt-get install grub /dev/sdb install grub onto a different disk? [07:30] Biomechd: there was a page on adobe's site where you could adjust your flash settings was the old workaround. Not sure if it's still there. [07:31] aneks: you don't install grub that way [07:31] !grub2 | aneks [07:31] aneks: GRUB2 is the default Ubuntu boot manager. Lost GRUB after installing Windows?

[07:35] I will see for #puppet thx bazhang [07:35] This is critical: can anybody help me restore my resolution settings as in nvidia xserver settings in 12.04? right now I'm suck with 640x480 [07:36] hje841: run the nvidia-settings tool to verify the nvidia drivers are in use yet? and try changeing res with it? [07:37] hje841, apt-get install xrandr arandr [07:37] And launch arandr for set your resolution [07:37] Dr_willis, it claims that it is not in use, but I'd like it to be [07:37] hje841: reinstall the nvidia drivers then and see if you can get them used. [07:38] how? [07:38] if they are not in use. your xorg.conf may be causing an issue. if it exists [07:38] hje841: have they ever worked? how did you install them befor? [07:39] Dr_willis, using the 'restricted driver' thingy [07:39] 12.04 -> run 'jockey-gtk' and see what drivers are in use or suggested for the system [07:39] 00:01.0 VGA compatible controller: Advanced Micro Devices [AMD] nee ATI Wrestler [Radeon HD 6310] (prog-if 00 [VGA controller]) Subsystem: Giga-byte Technology Device d000 [07:39] hje841: so rerun that ;) [07:39] Dr_Willis: i tried proprietary drivers it didnt help ... [07:40] Dr_Willis: do any other driver will work i dont know but something "common driver" which i can download [07:40] Dr_willis, okay, now I can't see the 'OKAY' button :S [07:40] vnc786: you are thinking with a windows mentality. the default X setuo has most of the drivers allready. the proparity ati and nvidia drivers are about the only 2 you will ever need to install manually. [07:40] Dr_willis, I had to resize the window [07:41] hje841: hold alt key. and click and drag window around perhaps.. [07:41] vnc786: the default radeon/ati driver can give basic funcationality for most cards.. but i rarely use ati. the fallback would be the vga/vesa drivers.. which would be slow i imagine. [07:42] the fglrx drivers would be best, if you can get them working [07:45] Dr_willis, the 'Additional Drivers' installation failed. /var/log/jockey.log talks about KMH enabled: false and 'alt_ld.so.conf' [07:46] hje841: never seen those kind of messages befor. You may want to check the forums and askubuntu.com for the exact wording of the errors [07:47] Dr_willis, okay. thanks :) [07:47] or just try instaslling 'nvidia-current' with apt-get [07:48] Dr_willis, well.. nvidia-current is already the newest. not just activated [07:48] so 'sudo apt-get install nvidia-current' says its allready installed eh? [07:49] yup [07:49] hmm.. in the forums they suggest --reinstall nvidia-current.

[07:53] Dr_Willis: another story, i got IBM x3100 m4 on which i installed ubuntu 12.04 64bit but it is very slow since graphic drivers are not there...In software update window there was option for Graphic driver which i selected and installed successfully but after restart the resolution changes 1024x786 and 800x600 only prior to which i was having 1280x1024 etc.. now the in System Details:... [07:53] ...Graphic=VESA MGA200 [07:53] ddssc: err..i just plug mine in and they work. [07:55] vnc786: if its using the 'vesa'' driver that would explain the slowness. Intel has some tool now to install their latest drivers. i saw it mentioned on the webupd8 blog site. (or was it the omgubuntu blog site) [07:55] Dr_willis: xrandr doesn't detect it.. which is funny because it's showing a logo, I just can't get to it [07:56] ddssc: was it plugged in when you powered on the pc? or did you plug it in after system was booted? [07:56] Dr_willis: lemme reboot [07:58] 12.04. Anybody know why "module" in my home folder is keeping old copies of linux-headers? It's eating up over 3G of my HD. [08:00] Help, anybody. [08:01] ive never heard of a module directory in the users home.. you been compiling kernels or doing any dev work?

Still safe to remove? [08:07] jstrake: if you have a lot of kernels instgsalled.. you may want to use the package manager to remove the kernels.. [08:07] jstrake: remove the unneded packages, not the files/dirs [08:08] Thank you. How do I do this? [08:09] jstrake: use the package manager to remove the unused kernels.. [08:09] Okay. Thank you!

[08:13] stevenm: gnome2 is basically dead.. [08:13] i doubt if you can get it on newer ubuntu systems with out breaking things badly [08:13] Dr_willis, I don't care - it'll do for now until MATE matures/fixes-the-bugs or until I'm happier with another DE all together [08:14] it it cant be done you wont care.. because it cant be done.. [08:14] I dont get it. I cant my Logitech USB headset mic to work anymore. It has been working flawlessly for over two years.

[08:14] gnome-shell is working on a better fallback mode for the next release of gnome-shell. of if you want an old skool desktop - many people use lubuntu, or xfce [08:14] yawn [08:15] stevenm, search the ppa. thats not supported here. === kevin is now known as Guest29733 [08:15] MATE is based on GNOME 2.32 right? so if MATE is compatible by adding a PPA for itself and dependencies - so could the original GNOME 2.32 [08:16] stevenm, its not supported, thus offtopic [08:16] never seen a ppa for gnome2 mentioned in here. [08:16] stevenm, gnome the coming version will have a fallback option, as was mentioned [08:17] bazhang, well a) that's not here yet b) i don't trust it'll work the same [08:17] i imagine once the gnome devs have a nice official fallnback mode.. these other 'gnome 2 wanna bes' will fade away [08:17] stevenm, and this has nothing to do with ubuntu. MATE is an unsupported PPA, go search the ppa if you wish [08:17] but getting that release of gnome-shell working - will require 13.04+ from what i hear. [08:17] The problem with the "missing" USB mic seems to have come with a recent kernel or update or something. It's fails consistently across multiple USB headsets [08:18] sveinse: try the older kernels from the grub menu to see if it comes back? [08:18] everything i've read says the fallback mode is scrapped [08:19] latest gnome shell news for 3.8 ive read mentioned how they are having their own official gnome2 theme [08:19] stevenm, thats not correct. this is from GNOME, not UBUNTU [08:19] Thank you Dr_Willis! Gave me nearly 4G back! [08:19] jstrake: you had a lot of old kernels :) [08:20] is anyone online with experience coding testdrive? [08:20] bazhang, yeah I'm reading that from GNOME [08:20] Yes! And I'm still not sure why it has been saving them. I only have GRUB set up to keep the most recent copy or two. [08:21] how can I open remote desktop in Haguichi with Remmina? [08:21] time to add an option to remove old kernels in the system-settings (or wherever). except for devs it's nonsense to keep more than 2-3 kernels in a system [08:21] http://www.omgubuntu.co.uk/2013/03/10-best-features-in-gnome-3-8 [08:21] 'classic mode' [08:22] jstrake: grub just displays the last 2.. thats noting to do witth what the package manager installs [08:22] how do I install nvidia drivers? http://www.nvidia.com/object/unix.html [08:22] TakeItEZ: the computer-janitor tool used to be able to remove old kernels.. but that app got removed.. ;0 i recall it had a tedency to remove all the kernels. ;) [08:23] Dr_willis, i believe ubuntu-tweak still have the option to remove old kernels [08:24] i havent had much luck getting ubuntu-tweak to work lately.. but i havent really needed it much lately either. [08:24] Dr_Willis-: "all the kernels" might be a bit overzealous [08:24] TakeItEZ: yep. :) it was a little overzealous in what it removed [08:26] ddssc: the nVidia drivers are in standard Ubuntu packages. It is much better to use the packaged version than the raw download from nVidia. [08:26] !nvidia [08:26] For Ati/NVidia/Matrox video cards, see https://help.ubuntu.com/community/VideoDriverHowto [08:26] im looking for a package to sort logs in colours/groups for easy searching [08:26] does anyone know if the chrome browser in the lubuntu repos is different? [08:27] how would I find out? thx [08:27] Walex: which ones? [08:28] lubuntu uses the same repos as ubuntu does [08:28] chrome browser is in the official repos? chromium is [08:28] the link above: https://help.ubuntu.com/community/VideoDriverHowto explains everything [08:28] ddssc: the link above: https://help.ubuntu.com/community/VideoDriverHowto explains everything [08:29] ddssc: but you can always also enable the universe/multiverse archives, 'sudo apt-get update' and then 'apt-cache search nvidia'. [08:29] does anyone online have testdrive installed? i need some bugs confirmed [08:29] man I feel like an idiot [08:29] ddssc: the important detail is that there are different driver versions for older models of nVidia cards. [08:31] Walex: got geforce525M. should I use nvidia-current? [08:31] bzr won't let me branch anything, halp! [08:31] all I know is that 'sudo apt-get install google-chrome' installed chrome 26 (latest) on my fresh install of lubuntu 12.04, and the included flash doesn't work. it seems everywhere I look, pepperflash should come with chrome, oh and work too! pff [08:31] kewel, its not chrome [08:32] chromium is differnt than google-chrome [08:32] u haveto manually add google repo [08:32] I know that [08:33] I want to tell you everything I do know.. jk I've got a post on ubuntuforums .. I was just hoping someone here had seen something similar [08:34] kewel: so its 3rd party stuff. besides there are no "lubuntu-repos", so all ubuntu-flvours use the same official repos [08:34] kewel: did you install lubuntu-restricted-extras? [08:34] lotuspsychje: yes and ubuntu rest ext [08:34] so its notafresh install [08:34] kewel: does flash work on your firefox?

[08:47] whats screwing up with them? [08:47] boy am I with you on that one. [08:47] I was on webchat.freenode.net and they kept disconnecting me .. didn't used to do that === nabblet is now known as Benkinooby [08:49] i mean really tho .. if anyone has a few minutes, I'd like to see how to get chrome or chromium installed and using flash [08:49] (o at least to show someone I'm only a little bit crazy) [08:50] all i did was apt-get install them. and installed the flash player insaller package and they work for me kewel [08:50] i did nothing fancy [08:50] =( I tried that too.

[09:17] Dr_Willis-: it seems that I can't log off either. What is lightdm screen? [09:17] !version [09:17] To find out what version of Ubuntu you have, type « lsb_release -a » in a !shell - To know the available version of a package, « apt-cache policy » [09:17] PeterGriffin: the login screen you see at first bootup is 'lightdm' by default [09:18] !kernel version [09:18] what do you mean you cant log off? [09:18] the logout menu item does what exactly when you try it [09:19] I am trying to setup vsftp on my unbuntu box but I get this error 500 OOPS: cannot change directory:/home/clivegoves [09:19] kewel: uname -r [09:19] that's the spot [09:21] Dr_Willis-: The same as when I try to shutdown - list of stopping things, gets to "mountall: Disconnected from Plymouth" (it always stops at this point) and then just waits. Every now and then appears new line, saying: INFO: task Xorg: 1092 blocked for more than 120 seconds [09:22] Hello, can someone please tell me why Gparted can't open my Fat32 microSD card it says "dosfstools ,mtools" are required for Fat32 system support but they are already installed! [09:23] PeterGriffin: sounds like it 'shutdown' but dident power off the pc. [09:23] I will configure it not to login automatically to see if it will shut down without loged in user. [09:23] Dr_Willis-: I forgot to thank you for recommending me XBMC HOLY MOLY I wasn't expecting such awesomeness on linux! [09:23] Dr_Willis-: If so wouldn't I be UNable to login through SSH [09:24] shape yep - its nifty. Ive been tryout out Plex also.. its sort of xbmc variant.. but its not totally 'free' but has some neat featrures. [09:25] PeterGriffin: see if you can et to the other consoles also.. via alt-ctrl-f1 through f6 [09:25] I can, but then I can't enther text === Zou is now known as Gurty [09:27] so you see a login: prompt? but cant actaually login?

[09:29] Dr_Willis-: Well I can login, either automatically or whan prompted for password. The problem is when I try to logout, shutdown, restart (same from lightdm) [09:30] Dr_Willis-: syslog sais only gnome-session[1304]: WARNING: Unable to stop system: Authorization is required [09:31] should I be a member of a group ot something? [09:32] don't be stupid be a smarty [09:32] come and join the Nazi Party [09:33] well I'm seeing all sorts of posts about problems with flash and chrome (which now comes installed with 'pepperflash' .. the new linux variant after v11.something) .. I do know that my chrome came with PepperFlash (not listed in chrome:plugins) and for somereason ALSO adobe flash 11.2 .. as stock I went to youtube and it said 'could not load flash plugin' .. I've seen posts that say to disable that.. so now when I visit youtube it s [09:33] ays I need to *upgrade* flash .. I think it's falling back on the 'pepperflash' .. now what to do with that I'm searching .. seeing plenty of people with problems [09:34] oh back .. I disabled adobe flash and then it fellback onto the pepper flash .. that's what I've gathered so far [09:34] sorry confusing [09:34] me [09:36] Dr_Willis: can u please tell before going for Fglrx how can i restore my current xorg intact or backup incase something went wrong with Fglrx ? which file need to be backed up [09:37] vnc786: Don't worry bout that, remove xorg.conf and it'll fall back to default [09:37] vnc786: hmm.. you dont really.. if you dont want to use flgrx you remove the package basically and it should default back to the other ones [09:38] you may not even have a custome xorg..conf to remove [09:39] okay going for that !!!

Thanks [09:54] hi guys. I ran ubuntu 10.04 lucid with PAE. Now i installed 12.04 precise. Do I still need PAE?? [09:55] PAE: You don't "need" PAE. PAE is a way for 32-bit operating systems to use more than 4GB of RAM. === Vampire0_ is now known as Vampire0 [09:55] got "ValueError: cannot convert float NaN to integer" when adding a repo [09:55] PAE: If you have more than that, you probably should use a 64-bit version of Ubuntu [09:56] theadmin: more than what? 4gb ram? i tried the 64 bit cd but it didnt boot (maybe i burned the cd too fast..) [09:56] PAE: Hm, what's your processor? [09:57] Hm, is anyone particularly familiar with vagrant? [09:57] I have a strange-but-possibly expected thing going down [09:57] theadmin: intel p. D CPU 3 GHz x 2 [09:58] PAE: Hm, that's 64-bit... [09:58] theadmin: but I *think i have only 4GB ram. [10:00] theadmin: this is what lshw says: /0/2c/0 memory 1GiB DIMM DDR2 Synchronous 667 MHz (1.5 n /0/2c/1 memory 1GiB DIMM DDR2 Synchronous 667 MHz (1.5 n /0/2c/2 memory 1GiB DIMM DDR2 Synchronous 667 MHz (1.5 n /0/2c/3 memory 1GiB DIMM DDR2 Synchronous 667 MHz (1.5 n [10:02] theadmin: are therre any advantages in the 64bit version? im not a progremmer.... [10:02] PAE: The only real advantage is the ability to use more RAM [10:03] don't forget PAE won't use RAM (>4GB) the same efficient way 64-bit versions will [10:03] ok, theadmin, is it correct that i dont need it then (see my lshw message), GreenTuxer? [10:05] i think my video reencoding was a tad faster on 64 bit. [10:05] hello guys, i have installed nvidia drivers according to the instructions described in this page http://falkvinge.net/2013/02/15/how-to-install-nvidia-drivers-in-ubuntu-12-10-quantal/ . i believe the "apt-get install nvidia-current-updates" worked well since no error was displayed, however, the following part "nvidia-xconfig" produced an error: "validation error: data incomplete in file... [10:05] .../etc/x11/xorg.conf. Device section "default device" must have a driver line" [10:05] for the record, i am using 12.04 === tvoss|exercise is now known as tvoss [10:06] maximiliano: use nvidia-settings to make a valid xorg.conf perhaps [10:07] you dont need an xorg.conf from what ive seen. except in some cases these eats [10:07] dr_willis_, in the terminal, do i just use this as "nvidia-settings"? [10:07] days.. ";-) [10:07] its an x app [10:07] ok, theadmin, is it correct that i dont need it then (see my lshw message), GreenTuxer? [10:07] PAE_: Well, yes [10:08] thx, theadmin!!! [10:08] install drivers. reboot. run nvidia-setti gs to tweak the system [10:09] dr_willis_, i did it and it opened a window about the nvidia settings. it seems it worked well, my only concern is that in the website i first mentioned the person who wrote it indicated that the "nvidia-xconfig" step is essential because they ended up with a black screen after rebooting when they skipped it [10:11] well, i'll try rebooting and if there are no problems i'll come back for some advice on installation of cuda toolkit. brb [10:11] dr_willis_ thanks for your time, btw [10:13] i'm back, it seems it worked well [10:14] however, in system settings>details in Graphics it indicates "unknown", should this be nvidia? [10:16] then I upgrade pepperflash with https://launchpad.net/~skunk/+archive/pepper-flash .. and youtube still tells me I need to upgrade flash.. [10:16] Whitt's End -- no u turns allowed [10:18] well shoot. see a discrepancy with version numbers. [10:24] kewel: Why not just use Chromium? [10:24] kewel: What's wrong with the adobe flash plugin package in the repos? [10:25] oh boy [10:25] either chrome or chromium would be great as long as flash would work [10:26] morning, evening, afternoon [10:26] all I know is that this new pepperflash is what I'm supposed to get working .. and disable adobe flash [10:26] kewel: Use Chromium + Adobe Flash, that works fine [10:26] I'll try again .. bbin5 [10:27] what's the eaiest way to remove ubuntu or any other linux on a win/linux dual boot machine? [10:28] I want to uninstall mint and install ubuntu. got a mint/win dual boot right now. [10:28] theadmin: when I use the adobe flash it says failed to load .. when I disable adobe flash it says I need to upgrade my flash .. I suppose it's falling back on the pepper flash. [10:28] Delete Linux Partitions [10:28] kewel: Maybe, but use Chromium. Chrome isn't exactly supported by Ubuntu or Canonical [10:29] right .. same for both tho [10:29] ddssc: just install ubuntu onto the mint partition [10:29] k1l_, can I reformat the partition and install ubuntu over it from ubuntu install dvd ? [10:29] theadmin: this is what I'm trying to get working right now: https://launchpad.net/~skunk/+archive/pepper-flash [10:29] ddssc: yes. [10:30] k1l_, I don't want to have mint and whatnot left in my boot menu. [10:30] Anyone know of a quick, memory-light way to play mp3s in the CLI? Purpose - I'm making a bash script, part of which is required to play audio files. [10:30] ddssc: You can choose to replace Mint [10:30] contrapunctus: mplayer would work fine [10:30] ddssc: ubuntu installs a own bootloader [10:30] theadmin: this http://support.google.com/chrome/bin/answer.py?hl=en&answer=108086 says I need to use pepper [10:31] says what's integrated rather... [10:31] theadmin, ok. I just don't want any unwanted conflicts. want a fresh install formated partition etc. [10:31] kewel: That applies to Chrome. Chromium works fine with Adobe's Flash. [10:31] k1l, u have to restore the MBR [10:31] theadmin: Thanks, will check it out. [10:31] theadmin: okay .. any idea what version I should be looking for? [10:31] boot from windows dvd and choose Repair [10:32] three times the power [10:32] archit: no [10:32] ? [10:32] archit: read what he wants. he want to remove some other linux and install ubuntu onto that part [10:32] since u have installed win and then nix i think u r using GRUB [10:32] how can I set vino to autostart with system (before login)? [10:33] ohh.. [10:33] I am having a few problems with my two displays connected to a nvidia geforce GTS 240. I want the larger one to be my primary display, on the left, but when I boot up all the kernel and init output shows on the seconary. Does anyone know how I can change that please? [10:33] k1l_, aye. so I was wondering about the order of things I should do. reformat partition first or just do it staright from ubuntu install dvd ? [10:33] then u can directly install ubuntu on linux paratation , just remove / delete it when ubuntu asks where to install [10:33] jony, im not sure you can with vino. If you want a vnc session you can connect to starting at bootup. theres other ways to do that. depending on the detils of what you want [10:34] ddssc: there is no need to seperately format before starting with the install run. just check the option to format at install [10:34] kewel: Version of what? sudo apt-get install chromium-browser flashplugin-installer [10:34] clarkk, that would be how the bios works.. Mine does the same thing. POST, grub and other items are on the DVI conevtor here.. untill X starts up then the hdmi kicks in [10:34] theadmin: I'm laughing cause that SHOULD work!!! [10:34] also, I really need to close X so that I can install the driver, but when I click one of the function keys to go to the shell without X, the primary display loses its signal. Does anyone knw how I can resolve that too? [10:35] hello Dr_willis [10:35] Dr_willis, I want remote desktop from Ubuntu desktop to another Ubuntu desktop [10:35] k1l_, I got a separate drive for swap right now as per this http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=WdcH_mcWVMs tutorial. Can I assign the swap drive to ubuntu ? [10:35] clarkk, boot to text mode perhaps [10:35] do I have to? [10:35] Dr_willis, and I cannot use portforwarding [10:35] already installed. [10:35] does ubuntu need a swap drive? [10:35] ddssc: yes, just assign it to /swap in the dialog [10:35] man I had stuff working alright, then a few nights ago I did 189 updates and stuff went awry [10:35] Dr_willis: so there is no way to change them over without swapping them on the card? [10:35] ddssc: It doesn't need one, but it's recommended [10:36] jony, err.. yes.. vnc is for remote desktops.. what does port forwarding have to do with it? You want to use vnc over the internet? you should setup a ssh tunnle for that. [10:36] k1l_, alright cheers. [10:36] clarkk, not that ive seen. [10:36] will post results [10:36] k1l, i thought he want to remove linux part. once it for all [10:36] ddssc: it doesnt need /swap. that depends on your ram and workflow [10:36] Dr_willis, however, all is set up and working with hamachi + vino, but vino starts only AFTER login :( [10:36] too awry. so being nice and rash I did a fresh install .. then got all my updates then went on the quest to get youtube back up [10:36] jony, make lightdm auto login your user perhaps? [10:36] I'm worried lubuntu doesn't like my olda$$ putor anymore. [10:36] I should said that hours ago, right? [10:36] Dr_willis, I want an unattended access on the remote pc [10:36] just a hunch [10:37] * theadmin is happy here with Firefox :P [10:37] Dr_willis: ok, that's a minor inconvenience. However, I really need to be able to use the F keys to get to the shell. It worked before the latest kernel update. Do you know how I can resolve this? [10:37] shyea .. I _ran_ chromium instead of firefox cause this machine has 512 ram [10:37] Dr_willis, but I want some kind of security on the remote desktop too since I won't be there phisycally [10:37] Dr_willis: but, how do I boot to text mode, incidentally? [10:37] jony, you can set up vnc servers to start automatically and not even have X loaded at all. those sessions would not be visible on the local machine either.. vnc is a flexiable tool. VINO is only one way to be using it. [10:38] and heck it was long ago when I got stuff working, I think I had problems with flash and ff too. oh well. [10:38] jony, you way.. the desktop would be totally visible to whoever is in the same room as the pc. [10:38] as in, that was another reason I used chrome [10:38] clarkk, edit the /etc/default/grub and put in the text option 'quiet splash text' [10:38] clarkk, or for one time usssage.... edit the grub menu line [10:38] !text [10:38] To start your system in text-only mode append 'text' (without the quotes) to the kernel line in the grub menu. You can access the grub menu by pressing Esc (Grub legacy) or Shift (Grub2) during boot. For more info see https://help.ubuntu.com/community/BootOptions#Text%20Mode [10:40] I didn't installed any VNC... only openssh and vino on the remote desktop [10:40] Dr_willis, I didn't installed any VNC... only openssh and vino on the remote desktop [10:40] jony, and vino is one specilized vnc server. [10:41] jony, theres several others out there. [10:41] tightvnc, vnc4server, x11vnc [10:41] Dr_willis, so I can install a VNC server wich will connect to remote without showing anything on the remote PC's display? [10:42] jony, thats how MOST vnc servers work.. vino and x11vnc show the current desktop.. tightvnc, vnc4server and others DONT show the current desktop. [10:42] Dr_willis: than you - I will give that a go, and report back [10:42] people think vnc on linux can only work by shareing the current desktp. :) thats not the case on linux.. it is the case on windows [10:43] Dr_willis, which do you recommend for my situation? [10:43] hi, i want to mount something to ~/blah - but when i use mount, i have to use root-account and later i can not access the mounted files (permission) - how do i go about that? [10:43] how do I get this: https://launchpad.net/~skunk/+archive/pepper-flash/+build/4354249 [10:43] that's my chromium ver [10:44] jony, you have really not given any details. You can easially set up tightvnc where your user can ssh in, and then start the vncservice, then connect via any client.. but if you are doing this over the internet. you will wan tto set up a ssh tunle. or just use ssh + x forwarding to forwared single apps. [10:44] Benkinooby, make a proper fstab entry for the filesystem would be one way === JoFo__ is now known as JoFo_ [10:46] Dr_willis: fstab would be permanent? also its a windows share i want to mount [10:46] Dr_willis: i just need it from time to time... [10:46] Benkinooby, you can use the user/noauto option in fstab and mount it as a user when needed [10:47] or just browse the share with nautilus. or some other tools to access the share [10:47] !info smbfs [10:47] Package smbfs does not exist in quantal [10:47] Dr_willis: i just read nautlius works with gvfs - is that an otpion for me === JoFo_ is now known as JoFo [10:48] Benkinooby, nautilus uses gvfs correct.. if you are using gnome/unity and nautilius it would be an option.... [10:48] many other file managers can also browse samba shares [10:48] Dr_willis, connecting via hamachi it doesn't require an SSH tunnel, right? [10:49] ive neer used hamachi - so no idea what it does jonathaN [10:49] oops.. jony [10:49] i basically only use vnc on a local lan also..

[11:00] night all... bbl [11:01] hi! does anyone know about a manual for prioritizing ram usage in ubuntu? [11:02] adrianrh: don't start processes you don't need [11:02] adrianrh: what is your problem? [11:03] I need to run a series of script, they have a CPU intinsive part and a ram intensive part, I want to run them simultanously (have 8 cores), but want them to wait for each other when they arrive at the ram intensive part [11:04] how do i clone a drive onto a larger drive?? [11:04] tar it [11:06] tar it? [11:07] nibbler_, did you see my answer (forgot to add your name) [11:07] adrianrh: got it. well, i guess you shold do some ipc or locking then. === CatKiller_ is now known as CatKiller [11:08] nibblier_ what is an ipc? and what do you mean by locking? [11:09] nibblier_ what is an ipc? and what do you mean by locking? [11:09] nibbler_ [11:10] ^^ [11:10] adrianrh: ipc is inter process commn. [11:11] adrianrh: inter process communication. like locking. before entering the memory intense part check for existance of /tmp/my.lock, if its there, wait a bit, recheck. if its not there, create it, do memory intense stuff, delete it. [11:12] adrianrh: the important thing is to do things atomar to avoid race conditions [11:15] Hi, can someone please tell me why the older installation of ubuntu 12.04 have the 3.2 kernel but the server I set up last week with 12.04 have the 3.5 kernel? [11:16] nibbler_ thankyou for your help, I have written down your advice and will try to use it. saidly the scripts i need to run are not atomar and I cannot spit them (they are written elsewhere), I will try the tmp/my.lock thing and look into ipc. [11:18] MoooookiE: The inference I draw from that is that you have not, in fact, set up a standard install of 12.04 [11:19] trying to add a ppa and got this: http://pastebin.com/aRewsL3j [11:19] maxb: I thought I use the default server iso from ubuntu.com [11:19] Sounds to me like you installed 12.10 [11:20] lsb_release -a tells "Ubuntu 12.04.2 LTS" [11:21] What about "uname -a" and "dpkg -l linux-image-generic" ?

[13:21] Newber: the file extension doesn't tell us anything [13:21] what is best swap value for better performance ? [13:21] Newber: andthere should be a readme in it, or the place where you ot that archive (tar.gz is a archive like .zip) [13:21] ActionParsnip: yes there is [13:21] if i have 2gb RAM and 1.5 gb swap [13:21] yourimym1: depends on how much ram you have [13:22] ActionParsnip: there is a tryton folder in .config [13:22] yourimym1: there is no performance with swap [13:22] yourimym1: swap is always a slow fallback. using ram is always faster [13:22] kll, ok I will look. Thanks [13:22] yourimym1: 1.5Gb swap space isn't really enough for 2Gb RAM, you will want 2.2Gb, you will not be able to hibernate with 1.5Gb swap [13:22] ActionParsnip: i've disabled hibernate [13:22] yourimym1: I always set swappiness to between 5 and 10 [13:23] Newber: what program do you want to install? [13:23] ActionParsnip: from where do I go from here? [13:23] Newber: its like asking the same in windows, the archive could contain source code, or binaries, or a mix === erry_ is now known as erry [13:24] Newber: there is no single answer, simply saying that it is an archive and expecting an exact answer is a bit silly [13:24] Newber: is the application not in software centre? [13:24] ActionParsnip: i need to set swap to 40 , what is the command [13:24] ActionParsnip. Well, calling me silly is pretty silly itself. Think about it. What can I do with a file container.. Hmmmm. Maybe I want to extract it and install the content right? [13:24] yourimym1, 40 what [13:25] yourimym1: set it in /etc/sysctl.conf you can then run: sudo sysctl -p to apply it [13:25] Newber: but what is the content, the fact it is an archive doesn't dsclose the contents, does it? [13:25] Hi i deleted the user from webmin, but didnt delete his files , how do i go about deleting his files ? [13:25] ActionParsnip: which line to edit ? [13:26] Newber: some archives you can extract and run the files as they are prebuilt files, some contain source code which will need compiling [13:26] yourimym1: just add the setting at the bottom [13:26] Newber: like I said, there is no single answer [13:27] Newber: the archive could be a hoarde of wallpapers to apply to the system, in which case the archive will be full of images, again this will be different [13:27] Newber, ActionParsnip is correct. [13:27] Newber: first way should be to look if its in the official ubuntu repos [13:28] ActionParsnip, true. I shouldve been more specific. But as I said install its pretty obvious i do not want to install pictures. I mean its possible in one sense.. Nvm, this discussion is useless [13:29] ActionParsnip: and disable , and reenable swap then ? [13:29] Newber: there are several different ways to "install" programs. that is depending on that format is in that archive. like source code, .sh .deb etc... [13:30] Newber: try extracting the archive, then look at what you have [13:30] Newber: you will then know and you can ask better question [13:30] k1l: are you familiar with windows? [13:30] Newber: Just tell us *what* you are trying to install! [13:30] oh nm [13:30] so asking: "how to install a archive " doesnt tell us what specific install way you need [13:30] kll, ok. Im used to windows and usually there is a simple way. So, I did not know that. [13:30] snuggl: better try ##windows :) [13:31] Newber: what file did you download? [13:31] Newber: we have more than just .exe under linux [13:31] ciao [13:31] k1l: nm [13:31] Newber: so again: look out for your secret program, if it comes in the official ubuntu repos. or if there is a PPA for it.

Its my business. Im here to learn. Though that was the deal with this place, maybe I was misinformed [13:36] hi, i'm having trouble figuring out why my init script isn't being called at boot [13:37] Newber: to find the best install solution for that specific program [13:37] Newber: becuase ppl was a dick to him when he learned, so he feel the need to pass the dickery on. welcome to irc =P [13:37] just get used to it [13:37] i've run update-rc.d scriptname defaults [13:38] Newber: if you are interessted in automatic updates and security updates than the way mentioned is not the best way because it lacks of both [13:39] snuggl, he he. Thanks [13:39] Hi all [13:40] kll, ok. So which would be the best way and what information would you need in order to give me the best way to install? [13:40] Newber: you are free to install what ever you want. dont get me wrong. but ubuntu got some automatic services that could help you. [13:40] alright. Which is? [13:41] Newber: the best way is to install the software from the official repos. (like mentioned several times before). if its not in there i would suggest to look out for a PPA repo [13:41] how come I have kernel 3.2 when 3.8 is out? how can I install 3.8 on precise? [13:42] lacrymology: you can get the 3.5 kernel on precise. [13:42] lacrymology, try sudo apt-get upgrade && sudo apt-get dist-upgrade [13:42] lacrymology: https://wiki.ubuntu.com/Kernel/LTSEnablementStack [13:42] cfhowlett: I installed a LTS version so I didn't need to do that for a while [13:43] lacrymology, I beg to differ. I've had at least 2 kernel upgrades on 12.04 [13:43] lacrymology: LTS is meant for stability. it wont have the latest kernel and latest stuff [13:44] k1l: fantastic. But the current kernel is broken. It's got at least a known issue that is fixed in later versions [13:44] that's not been patched [13:44] lacrymology: are you sure its not patched by the ubuntu maintainer? [13:45] hey all. i'm having a weird bug with unity. if i log into the gui, then switch to the f1 console, log in, run some generic commands (ls, ps -ef, etc) and then try to switch back to the gui, it never comes back. it just turns off the monitor signal (monitor light goes from green to amber) and i can't get the gui back unless i init 6. anyone else had this problem before? [13:45] k1l: at least the issue in the tracker's been abandoned for a while with no resolution [13:46] k1l: all I really know is I have latest packages and I can reproduce an issue that's been around for over 6 months [13:46] k1l: ok, so different question. Is there a way I can compile and install kernel 3.8? [13:47] ActionParsnip: do you have any other options? [13:48] cfhowlett: I too have had at least two kernel updates. IIRC, it went from 2.8 to 3.2. But the point still stands that 3.8 is out, and I have [13:48] !kernel | lacrymology [13:48] lacrymology: The core of Ubuntu is the Linux kernel: see https://help.ubuntu.com/community/Kernel - You shouldn't have to compile your own, and if you need to troubleshoot issues, you can try a !Mainline kernel instead, but if you insist, see https://help.ubuntu.com/community/Kernel/Compile (see also !Stages) [13:49] lacrymology true, 3.8 is out and 13.04 uses it [13:49] k1l: yeah, but in the mainline kernel page there seems to be no 3.8 package for precise. Latest seems to be 3.3 [13:49] lacrymology, if the latest shiny kernel isn't offered via upgrade, as I would expect for LTS, you might have to manually install [13:49] MonkeyDust: well, 12.04 is supposed to have.. what, 4ys support? [13:50] cfhowlett: I think I had misunderstood what dist-upgrade does, I'll try that [13:50] lacrymology: see the mentioned kernel compile page [13:50] !mainline [13:50] Hello, for aabout how long is linux using package management system? i could trace it to 2002, but i guess its much longer [13:50] The kernel team supply continuous mainline kernel builds which can be useful for tracking down issues or testing recent changes in the Linux kernel. More information is available at https://wiki.ubuntu.com/Kernel/MainlineBuilds [13:50] lacrymology: there is a kernel-ppa for newer versions [13:50] lacrymology the kernel used in 12.04 is supported for several years, not replaced [13:50] ronillon: either ask in ##linux or in the offtopic channel [13:50] caboose885, [13:50] wicd-curses [13:51] k1l: thank you [13:51] MonkeyDust: ok, so newer patches are applied to it, I guess [13:51] caboose885, sudo wicd-curses [13:51] ronillon: RPM has been around since the ninties [13:51] lacrymology yes, but not new kernels [13:51] lacrymology: thats what i tried to tell you. [13:52] k1l: sorry, didn't understand that [13:52] snuggl: i thought it would be something like that, thanx [13:52] lacrymology a patch is not a new kernel [13:52] rdz, how do i use wicd-curses [13:52] http://www.flickr.com/photos/srsly/8658898500/in/photostream [13:52] MonkeyDust: it is, just not a new kernel version [13:53] lacrymology snuggl explains more correctly [13:53] ok [13:54] lacrymology: if you want a newer version, go to the kernelPPA, if you want to apply patches you follow help.ubuntu.com/community/Kernel/Compile === me is now known as Guest21897 === Guest21897 is now known as dir [13:57] ok, thank you === pie is now known as Guest69304 [14:02] !ot > DCE25ESK [14:02] DCE25ESK, please see my private message [14:03] <_Hjorth> quit === human is now known as Guest35033 === Odysimus_away is now known as Odysimus [14:11] Is there a channel for the Midnight Commander?

Oh well I'll wait till midnight-commander.org is back up then [14:19] theadmin: latest version is 2 weeks old, so at least someone still does some work on it [14:19] 2 weeks old?

[14:39] theadmin thanks === dominic_ is now known as mdih [14:39] mojtaba, maybe try Gparted? [14:40] aneks: Can I format it, low level? [14:40] low level format , means ? mojtaba [14:40] for italc, the master interface must be installed on a Server or it can be good for Desktop version === mdih is now known as mihd [14:40] BluesKaj: Actually the hard disk had some problems and I want to make sure that after formatting it, the problems are fixed. [14:41] mojtaba, you should be able to. I'd download gparted and try. [14:41] if I reduce the icon size in the unity bar, they stay with a poor quality. Why? [14:41] mojtaba, what problems ? [14:41] I want to use my router's syslog functionality. It's just asking for an IP address ... I can figure that out just fine, but what do I have to do with my box to receive/view the log? [14:42] BluesKaj: I did not have access to part of my files.

[14:44] !format | mojtaba [14:44] mojtaba: For help with partitioning a new install see: https://help.ubuntu.com/12.04/installation-guide/i386/partitioning.html - For partitioning programs see !GParted, !QtParted (!Kubuntu 8.10 and lower) or !PartitionManager (!Kubuntu 9.04 and up) - Other partitioning topics include !fstab !home and !swap [14:44] BluesKaj: The hard disk become unmounted automatically === Zeev_i is now known as Zeev [14:45] BluesKaj: For example at the moment it says: " could not stat device /dev/sdb - No such file or directory." [14:47] BluesKaj: I was using it now. I think the problem occurred when for the first time my laptop shut-down unexpectedly. [14:47] hello [14:48] if I reduce the icon size in the unity bar, they stay with a poor quality. Why? [14:48] chro: That ain't supposed to happen, try restarting unity (e.g. logging out and back in), might be some drawing issue [14:49] BluesKaj: ?! [14:49] Yep, works. [14:49] theadmin, already did that, but the issue persists [14:50] is there another method to enable ipv6 in quantal besides sysctl net.ipv6.conf.all.disable_ipv6=0 ? [14:51] On mint 14, would apt-get dist-upgrade take me to ubuntu 13.04? [14:51] chro, the images for the icons come in packs of different resolutions ... Say, one image is 24x24 pixels, then 48x48, 128x128, et cetera, If you size the buttons to something inbetween, it's subject to compression artifacts. Although it shouldn't be all that noticeable. [14:51] BluesKaj: are you there? [14:52] BluesKaj: Do you have any idea? [14:53] thanks it worked with a size of 42 [14:53] chro, yw. [14:54] mojtaba, afak, any level of formatting a drive will wipe it clean. [14:54] mojtaba, you'll lose all your files. [14:54] mojtaba, but ya, it will reset to default settings, and you should be able to use it, mind you,, as a totally blank drive. [14:54] litropy: I know that, I have just copied those I could. [14:55] litropy: Will it fix the problems like bad sectors? [14:55] mojtaba, so ya ... use a liveCD or liveUSB, open up gparted, and go ahead. [14:55] mojtaba, it will set all the bits on the drive to 0. [14:55] litropy: Why liveCD? [14:56] litropy: I have ubuntu and it is external hard drive [14:56] mojtaba, if your drive is physically failing, it won't fix that. [14:56] litropy: How can I make sure if it is physically or not? [14:56] mojtaba, so long as you're not running your OS off of the drive, then you can use gparted without the liveCD/liveUSB [14:56] where canI get "gpart" I an trying data recovery with gparted and it says I am missing thecommand gpart and to install It but I cant ifnd any info through a google search [14:57] litropy: Is there any log file or utility which can find if it is physically failing or not? [14:57] something123, you mean gparted? tried sudo apt-get install gparted? [14:58] mojtaba, off-hand, I'd say if you reformat it, treat it like you should, and you still have drive-related problems, it's pretty safe to say it's physically failing. [14:58] no, the exact word is "gpart" gparted itself runs fine, but to run the data recovery it gives an error [14:59] litropy: Then there is no way to fix it? :( [14:59] something323: you may find data recovery success with foremost [14:59] I've got a bit of a problem with this R.A.T.5 mouse I have. it has some extra buttons, holding button #12 and then clicking button #1 seems to send it as some sort of combined press which makes programs ignore it. is there some way to make these buttons send separate events? [15:00] mojtaba, you could send it in for repair ... but with the way drives are coming down in price these days, you might spend the money on just a new drive with more storage capacity. [15:00] well the problemis that I was already trying to fix an overlapping partition in partitionmagic when the computer froze, so not its even more screwed up [15:00] now* [15:00] mojtaba, but you're getting ahead of yourself. Try reormatting it and see how it goes. [15:01] something323, eek. [15:01] hi guys [15:02] I changed the colors of my terminal [15:02] I don't know how to reset it [15:02] Any help pls [15:02] litropy: Thanks [15:02] neworder Edit > profile preferences [15:02] but I am still getting this problem in gparted where the "command gpart was not found" [15:02] was svn package removed?!

[15:08] neworder, ya. Isn't that what you're trying to do? [15:08] hmm, I'm trying to reset it actually [15:08] I changed the colors [15:09] jakesahir, Do you have the network from a right click on the tiny screens at the bottom ticked?

[15:13] as it dosnt seem to automatically run every 30 mins on its own [15:14] neworder, if you choose use colors from the system theme it will go back to how it was. [15:14] neworder, unless you did something else. [15:14] haha you are right [15:14] Evening all. [15:14] confused myself :P [15:14] neworder why are you struggling like this? it's a lot easier to choose your own colours [15:14] Yup yup [15:14] * churnd scratches head [15:15] thanks [15:15] I have a quick question. Is it possible to install a fully working copy of Ubuntu onto a USB Stick? [15:15] ubuntu_ you mean a persistent install? [15:15] ubuntu_ yes [15:15] any one any good with the noip2 client [15:15] ubuntu_, Yes use the something other option in the install gui and manually install it. [15:15] Yeah, a persistent install so that I dont have to click on Try Me everytime I boot and so I can install stuff.

[15:16] Oh, so, I cant install things like flash to this USB stick I made? [15:17] ubuntu_, How big is the stick? [15:17] 4GB [15:17] I used the LinuxPendriveinstaller to make this stick I am using now. [15:18] ubuntu_ no, that's enough for a live installation [15:18] ubuntu_, Please use nicks always. ;) A persistent install has a casper-rw file that fills up after awhile and is basically uncleanable it has limited use, a kernel upgrade can brick it as well. However you can have flash. [15:19] any one in here any good at making cron schedules or know any good guides, I'm looking to run the noip2 client every 30 mins as the client its self for some reason dosnt run and I've found nothing in the /var/syslog [15:19] OKay, so it looks like what I have now is the best I will get then. [15:19] It currently shows up as a casper-rw on the drive label. [15:19] how do you set a startup application's working directory?

(cd /host/Dropbox/Documents/Python && python my_script.py) doesn't work [15:43] mzaza ehm, a folder, you say? i meant a device [15:44] MonkeyDust: It was a folder, umount did work. Thanks :) Last question :D [15:44] I heard they were working on a Ubuntu for the RPi [15:44] MonkeyDust: Do you know how to extract or burn a windows ISO of flash drive under Ubuntu? [15:44] wilee-nilee: umount worked, umount foldername [15:45] mzaza, umount is usually the opposite of mount :) [15:45] deathjester better go to #ubuntu-offtopic, i guess http://www.raspberrypi.org/phpBB3/viewtopic.php?f=2&t=4379 [15:45] noip2 [15:46] a. [15:46] mzaza, I figured it would, just never have been in the sistuation. [15:46] aneks: Yes, I was trying unmount which was more logical for me and it didn't exist :D [15:46] deathjester: just a tipp if you are going to buy a rpi: buy 2, they tend to die young [15:46] OK, found it in Software Sources under Software Center.. now I need to find the file it is loading so I don't have to resort to that monstrosity again.

[16:14] does anyone know how to modify resolv.conf [16:14] reggie_: vim /etc/resolv.conf ? [16:16] TLM: sounds like would actually need to write a program to do that (and it is a bit odd) [16:16] you could so something super primitive like "read -n 1 C; if [ $C != "x" ]; then echo foo; fi" (replacing echo foo with something like halt) [16:17] but you can totally cheat that by switching to a different terminal, or just CTRL-C'ing it [16:17] also, I am trying to setup a samba share on my ubuntu that i can access on my windows machine.

I burned a copy of the ubuntu 12.04.1 iso (and verified the md5sum). I am trying to boot my desktop into the cd in uefi mode. I am running an ASUS P8Z77-V Pro/Thunderbolt motherboard. When I select the UEFI cd entry in my boot menu, the screen goes blank for a moment then just continues to the Windows boot loader. Halp please [16:21] im not sure what the original problem was, i came in at the point you were asking how to modify it [16:21] j2daosh: also added: search name of domain [16:22] ohh ok so at this point if I try to reach my spam appliance I cannot get to it unless I enter ip address, so box ot resolving hostnames [16:22] not* [16:22] oh, well if the IP won't change, you can add the entry into the hosts file [16:23] vim /etc/hosts [16:23] or nano [16:23] j2daosh: can I copy the resolv.conf file outside of the /ppp direcotry [16:23] so straight into the /etc/ directory === jagger is now known as jagger|away [16:24] you could, but i dont know if it will have any affect on anything. if it was put in ppp on install, i would imagine there is a reason for that and if it is somewhere else, it might not pick up config changes from the non-original file [16:24] okay it's blank guessing the file may not be there or doesnt exist ? j2daosh [16:25] just add the spam appliance IP to the /etc/hosts file. if you dont have one of those, do 'updatedb;locate hosts' [16:25] how do i block access to my computer for 1 month? [16:25] unplug it [16:25] lol [16:26] b80905, maybe if configure iptable to block all [16:26] Hey all, I'm looking for some advice… I would like to create an encrypted (via TrueCrypt) USB Drive that contains a VirtualBox image. I'd like to be able to load the VM on either a Mac or a Linux laptop… but I'm not sure if it's possible due to filesystem incompatabilities…. do you think it's possible? [16:27] b80905: it depends on what access you are trying to block. [16:27] j2daosh: so i would not be able to use it [16:27] The main issue seems to be: I can create a FAT32 TrueCrypt partition that is accessible on both Mac and Linux, but it doesn't allow files larger than 4GB… but the VirtualBox image will need to be larger than that. [16:27] mstenta: if you make it FAT, it should work on any [16:27] ok lol I'm too much of a windows user I forgot to add .conf after the host j2daosh [16:28] j2daosh: thanks, that's what i figured too… see my second comment above [16:28] so I'm in the file now there isn't much in there [16:28] mstenta, 4 why not? i dont think it's easy to make this with truecrypt but when you install your vm you could crypt her with LVM maybe [16:28] mstenta: no idea. you will have to find a compatible FS for both (maybe EXT3) and give it a shot [16:28] reggie_: huh? hosts is hosts, not hosts.conf... i dont know what file you just editted [16:29] lol I haven't done anything to the file yet [16:29] then where did the .conf come from?

[16:31] all I did was sudo nano host [16:31] should I add more at the end of the command? [16:31] do you see something along the lines of ip [tab] hostname? [16:31] aneks: ?

I installed it successfully in the past and had it running, but now the system doesn't boot. Additionally when I burned another livecd and booted it in uefi, it also fails (and jumps straight into my Windows 7 install.) I don't get to the grub menu, the system displays a blinking cursor for a moment and then moves right to Windows. [16:43] cvance, did you try booting into your live cd, installing boot-repair and running it? It'll probably fix your issue.

[16:49] thanks for your help j2daosh [16:49] aneks: I cannot boot into the livecd for some reason. I don't even get into the grub menu. [16:50] cvance_, I wasn't talking about grub. I meant, change the boot sequence so it boots from the cd, and then choose try ubuntu. Once you're in there you can install boot-repair. [16:50] aneks: I manually select the CD from my boot menu but it doesn't even get to the grub prompt (of the livecd) [16:51] cvance_, you manually select it? if your boot sequence is set to read from the cd/dvd it will boot into the live cd by itself. [16:54] anyone has experience with DES_ncbc_encrypt?? === patr|ck_ is now known as patr|ck [16:55] aneks: I think we have a little miscommunication, let me rephrase. I have a UEFI motherboard and have windows 7 installed in UEFI mode. I burned a livecd and pressed F8 at the uefi prompt to enter a device boot selection menu. I have a few options (UEFI windows 7 boot loader, UEFI old ubuntu installation, UEFI livecd, and legacy options). When I select UEFI livecd, the screen goes blank for a moment and just kicks me to Windows. [16:57] cvance_, it seems like it's not reading your live cd. [16:58] aneks: md5sum is correct, let me try again in legacy mode to verify that it's something about UEFI that's screwy, brb [17:03] hi [17:03] is there an upstart for mac os x?

So now the question is how to get it to work after a reboot without manual intervention [17:37] ActionParsnip, thanks for the tip [17:38] wilee-nilee, I tried inserting the audio CD while VLC was running and that did the trick [17:38] YMH297433 [17:38] Ubuntuaddicted : what do you do to make it work ? [17:38] Xdm2: please don't [17:38] ActionParsnip, all I did was sudo service network-manager start [17:38] wilee-nilee, I wonder why it was so difficult to get Ubuntu to recognize my audio CD. Should I submit a bug report? [17:39] ActionParsnip, BUT i also just noticed that its eth1 NOT eth0 which per my interfaces file says it should be a static IP but currently it's eth1 and DHCP so it's got the wrong IP [17:39] system on chip with linux or bsd ? [17:39] nothung, Not sure to be honest, rhythmbox can be a little funky though, it might be a plugin thing. [17:39] ubuntuaddicted: check/change MAC in /etc/udev/rules.d/70-persistent-net.rules [17:39] Ubuntuaddicted : could add thst in /etc/rc.local above the 'exit 0' line [17:40] What's the difference between a Cluster Instance and the Regular Ubuntu server on Amazon Web Services? [17:40] ethernet driver maybe [17:40] Xdm2: what is your question please? [17:41] nothung, Look in system-settings type default and choose details you might see options there. [17:41] ubuntu linux in system on chip filesystem requirement [17:41] llutz, why would i need to check/change that? [17:42] Holymacaroons: ask in #ubuntu-server too [17:42] ubuntuaddicted: is the MAC in that file correct? that file makes udev renaming network-ifaces [17:42] nothung, Look at removable media. [17:42] wilee-nilee, hmm well I just tried running Rhythmbox and inserting the audio CD and it was recognized. So I guess you have to have an audio program open and then insert the audio CD. I would have expected the audio CD to be recognized without having an audio program open. [17:42] in details [17:42] i bought a blu ray disc and i don't know how to play it with vlc :P what do i need to choose? open disc or open directory? [17:42] if it is a directory: which one? [17:42] wilee-nilee, yes, I"m in details of the system settings panel [17:43] ActionParsnip: I have another problem, now on another server, regarding postgresql, but I wll ask on ubuntu-server then [17:43] ActionParsnip: really thanks [17:43] wilee-nilee, all the settings are "ask what to do" [17:44] mysql maybe more little space than postgresql [17:44] nothung, It has been awhile since I used my external reader so you can try options, not sure the default [17:44] Emx: www.omgubuntu.co.uk/tag/bluray/?wpmp_switcher=mobile?wpmp_switcher=mobile [17:45] nothung, It has a rhythmbox choice though. [17:46] llutz, i think i know what happened. i basically swapped my OS install and hard drives to new hardware thus a new ethernet controller and /etc/udev/rules.d/70-persistent-net.rules shows eth0 MAC as something else. NOT what iconfig shows for eth1. So how do I fix it? [17:46] ubuntuaddicted: change the MAC to your needs or simply remove that file and reboot, it will be created [17:47] llutz, ok, i'll try to just remove the file and reboot. is that ok you're saying? [17:47] ubuntuaddicted: it should be ok, yes. [17:47] WHA800477 [17:47] xdm2: stop spamming please [17:48] llutz, ok, i just moved /etc/udev/rules.d/70-persistent-net.rules to my desktop and rebooted, hopefully it's fixed and it brings up my network during bootup [17:48] ubuntu server or desktop regular linux instalation look advance [17:49] Xdm2 : how do you mean "look advance"? [17:49] ubuntu desktop better than other like redhat or fedora [17:50] hi guys!! [17:50] Xdm2 : in your opinion. ... [17:50] halo [17:50] :) === billions_ is now known as billions [17:50] linux ubuntu start good and graphic look nice and little [17:50] i'm new to this whole ubuntu business! any cool things for me to check out? [17:51] Xdm2 : is this leading to a question? [17:51] llutz, yeap, all good now. thanks [17:51] llutz, why would i need to check/change that? <- now you have the answer [17:51] Priyav: I'd just use the OS and get used to it [17:51] hello! [17:51] ubuntu business unlike redhat or fedora subscription more lesser look like [17:52] i just instaled virtualbox on my 12.04 64bit [17:52] Xdm2 : if you want idle chat please join #ubuntu-offtopic [17:52] but i get an error [17:52] Zizi: what is the error? [17:52] ever use ubuntu rarely reboot or start again [17:52] wilee-nilee, I tried changing the default music application to VLC, but that didn't work. [17:52] thanks ActionParsnip === Guest66517 is now known as matthewvz [17:53] The VirtualBox Linux kernel driver (vboxdrv) is either not loaded or there is a permission problem with /dev/vboxdrv. Please reinstall the kernel module by executing '/etc/init.d/vboxdrv setup' [17:53] sorry [17:53] wilee-nilee, I have a workaround solution, so that's good enough for now. Thank you for your help! [17:53] license on ubuntu look similar with other developer but multimedia service go on internet [17:53] Zizi: Did you run the command given with sudo? [17:54] why did ubuntu move away from apt-get upgrade and instead I have to use dist-upgrade? [17:54] zizi: Did you do what the error suggests? :) [17:54] Ubuntuaddicted : it didn't. You can use both [17:54] yes i did but i get : command not found [17:55] ubuntuaddicted: read the man-page about the difference [17:55] in ubuntu linux wifi or bluetooth [17:55] ubuntuaddicted, they are for different situations [17:55] zizi: Then how did you install vbox? [17:55] software center [17:55] llutz, ActionParsnip for example i changed a repository and used upgrade but that didn't trigger the new packages, i had to dist-upgrade for it work [17:55] in campus center ubuntu look good seen by other [17:55] Xdm2 : the 2 technologies are completely different so picking between the two is nonsensical [17:56] ubuntuaddicted: read the man-page about the difference, the new packages might depend on packages not already installed. those will be ignored by upgrade [17:56] ubuntuaddicted, you've always needed dist-upgrade to install new packages [17:56] Ubuntuaddicted : Did you run: sudo apt-get update after you added it [17:56] looks like ubuntu has no repository to install freepbx? === ffmpeg|michaelni is now known as michaelni [17:57] !info freepbx [17:57] Package freepbx does not exist in quantal [17:57] i couldnt find any solution by my self [17:57] zizi: Uninstall vbox again and install the latest official version available from the official vbox website installation instructions. [17:57] Quest : looks like its not in the official repos [17:57] Quest : your question was also not a question but a statement [17:58] ActionParsnip, it had a ? at the end [17:58] ActionParsnip, yes, i always sudo apt-get update first [17:58] ActionParsnip, you mean just throwing a question mark at the end doesn't make it a question? [17:58] i tried but i cant install it === CatKille1 is now known as CatKiller [17:58] ActionParsnip, it had a ? at the end. it was for confirming [17:58] zizi: Why not? [17:59] Error: Violates existing package 'virtualbox' which collides with: 'virtualbox'. But the '/ home/zizi/Lipseis/virtualbox-4.2_4.2.12-84980 ~ Ubuntu ~ precise_amd64.deb', provide it through: 'virtualbox [18:00] but uninstalled the virtualbox [18:00] Zizi : try adding the virtualbox repo and then install [18:00] do you have a link? [18:01] what is the best torrent client for ubuntu (better controls on spead and sharing) [18:01] Zizi : bit easier. The virtualbox site has a how to [18:01] virtualbox ever use but on ubuntu linux maybe run smooth work with other like netbsd or openbsd [18:01] so let me get this straight, 32 bit ubuntu installer SHOULD boot on a 64bit system? [18:01] you mean the oracle site? [18:01] zizi: Correct. [18:01] billions, yes, in 99% of the cases [18:01] Ali4ever4: you can set max up and down speeds in transmission === Plinker_ is now known as Plinker [18:02] tgm4883: what would be that 1% case? because I get a "no valid boot disk" error [18:02] !best > ali4ever4 [18:02] ali4ever4, please see my private message [18:02] ubuntu linux transmission lost in disc disc ussually one or two dvd [18:02] (although the usb disk works well on a different machine) [18:02] ActionParsnip: the default app comming in ubuntu ok will try it [18:02] ali4ever4: qbittorrent , transmission , vize , utorrent .. any would do !! [18:02] Billions: I believe itaniums will only boot 64bit OS [18:02] billions first try and it see what it does, no need to scare yourself [18:03] MonkeyDust: see, that's what I mean, it does nothing [18:03] billions, sorry, 99.99999999999999999% [18:03] I just get an error that it is not a valid boot disk, although that selfsame disk works perfectly with a different machine [18:03] rAg3nix, thanks [18:03] billions, actually, I think the installer would still work, but you would get weird quarks happening. [18:03] see tgm4883 that's what I was thinking too [18:04] billions, IIRC, it was just a few processors that didn't fully support the 32-bit stuff properly [18:04] its probably something wonky with the installer disks [18:04] Ali4ever4 : you can also set a time window to turn on an alternative speed limit [18:04] good, now I know that it can be fixed, I can fix it :D [18:04] billions, that said, why not instal 64-bit? [18:04] Billions: Did you MD5 test the ISO you downloaded? [18:04] I have a question: I installed 12.10 on a gigabyte board with i3 sandy bridge. installtion was smooth, boot, installed latest updates, reboot: black screen. Do you happen know something about that? [18:04] how to get a CIFS share to mount when the password contains illegal characters? I tried 'testin@1!' but that didnt' work [18:04] tgm4883: firefox et al are so sluggish, I was hoping the 32bit version would have a smoother experience [18:04] !nomodeset > mackg [18:04] mackg, please see my private message [18:04] ActionParsnip: the installer works on a different machine [18:05] billions i always use 32 bit on my 64bit system, in fact, 64bit won't even boot in vbox [18:05] Mackg: use the boot option : nomodeset [18:05] thx [18:05] ActionParsnip, actually, Itaniums need Itanium disks, not the standard Ubuntu 64-bit disks === kimphill_ is now known as kimphill [18:05] MonkeyDust: it would be nice if I could get it to boot on my 64 bit system, too :) [18:05] ubuntu linux filesystem ussually work with ext3 but not ext2 good journalling filesystem [18:05] ActionParsnip, really , how can i do that ?! [18:05] billions, IDK why that would make sense, but it sounds like a bad burn or something [18:05] xdm2: ext2 isnt journaled. thats why. [18:05] Monkeydust: it will if you have and have enabled the required CPU features :-) [18:06] MonkeyDust, 64-bit will boot in vbox [18:06] Ali4ever4 : its in settings [18:06] MonkeyDust, you do have to set the guest OS to 64-bit though [18:06] journalling filesystem in ubuntu linux maybe look robust [18:06] ActionParsnip, thanks [18:06] xdm2: Do you have any specific support question? [18:07] just to be sure, this IS a 64-bit cpu right? http://ark.intel.com/products/49490 [18:07] tgm4883 stick to support for our friend billions please :) === m00dy is now known as erenn [18:07] i get this [18:07] No suitable module for running kernel found [18:07] billions: they say it is (check "grep ' lm ' /proc/cpuinfo") [18:07] MonkeyDust, I am supporting billions, and correcting you. I can do both [18:07] zizi: And then it builds the kernel module needed, correct? [18:08] ok lemme quickly see [18:08] nope [18:08] to get dvd on ubuntu linux then burn with burner on campus and able to get office duty [18:08] zizi: If not, please pastebin the entire output, not just a single line === matt_grill_ is now known as iatecake [18:08] * Starting VirtualBox kernel modules * No suitable module for running kernel found [18:09] zizi: Then build the kernel modules using sudo /etc/init.d/vboxdrv setup [18:09] llutz: what am I looking for in the output? [18:09] Zizi : you need a space after the sudo word [18:09] billions: if you have output, its 64bit [18:10] llutz: I do have output ad plenty [18:10] billions: "lm" flags are 64bit only (long mode) [18:10] so in this case, running the 64-bit ubuntu is the sane thing to do? or will the 32bit vesion offer me some type of multimedia advantage? [18:10] i keep getting mount error(13): Permission Denied when trying to mount this CIFS share [18:10] billions: there is usually no benefit at all in running i386 on 64bit hardware [18:11] ubuntuaddicted CIFS is similar to NFS, how do you try to mount it? [18:11] llutz: check [18:11] MonkeyDust, using fstab entry BUT my password has illegal characters, example: testing@01! === jack is now known as Guest54297 [18:12] ubuntuaddicted then try with abc123 or so and change the password if needed [18:12] Ubuntuaddicted : is it possible to specify a credentials file and use that? [18:12] MonkeyDust, thanks anyway, that's not the point. [18:12] ubuntuaddicted: use: testing\@01\! [18:12] again comand not found === some1 is now known as Guest52742 [18:13] Zizi : Did you add the virtualbox repo? [18:13] zizi: ls -l /etc/init.d/vboxdrv [18:14] hello everyone, i did a fresh install for my pc, and took the copies of PGP keys [18:14] can I use them again? [18:15] ActionParsnip, yes, I could do that. ok, yes, that worked [18:15] llutz, i just ended up using a .credentials file [18:16] ubuntuaddicted: better than a world-readable fstab-file [18:16] Ubuntuaddicted : chmod it 600 to keep people out [18:16] Ubuntuaddicted : owned by root of course [18:17] Zizi : what is the output of : cat /etc/issue [18:17] volkan same distro [18:17] ActionParsnip, done, although i am at home and not to concerned about security and my box is NOT open to outside world. [18:17] zizi: Then pastebin (not into this channel) the entire command you are trying and its entire output. [18:17] Ubuntuaddicted : its good practice but your call :-) [18:18] dakotawulfy: yes it is the same [18:18] ActionParsnip, no, i still made it root owned and chmod 600. thanks [18:18] Ubuntuaddicted : no worries, we both learned today :-) [18:19] dakotawulfy: i messed up the pulseaudio and needed to do a fresh install :s [18:19] Hello [18:19] Hi baloo1986 [18:19] can anyone help me? i have install Ubuntu on a eMac G4 but i dont can find skype for ppc [18:19] baloo1986: There is no skype for ppc. [18:20] how can i ginf the password for my rooter? [18:20] really? [18:20] baloo1986: Really. [18:20] hey any success stories of running ubuntu on raspberry Pi [18:20] Baloo1986: I doubt there is a PPC skype client [18:20] Ali4ever4 : loads [18:20] er... "How can a friend find the password for his rooter?" would probably sound like i am asking for myself too so... [18:21] Baloo1986 : you can run chat clients for text chat with skype [18:21] shojo, Run the reset and make a new one, or contact the provider, or manufacturer. [18:21] Shojo: I'd try in ##networking [18:22] what? Sorry but i dont understand ??? [18:22] is there a dedicated channel for mactel? [18:22] Baloo1986 : what you are doing now, you can do that with skype users [18:22] thank you! [18:23] Baloo1986 : you type, they type back [18:23] ali4ever4, yes a few , mostly for HTPC setups [18:23] volkan u just messed up pulseaudio ??? [18:23] Baloo1986 : what is there to not understand? [18:23] volkan what problem u having [18:24] dakotawulfy: yes, there was a strange whizzling noise when I am talking to skype [18:24] nevermind, http://randomtutor.blogspot.co.uk/2013/02/installing-ubuntu-1304-on-retina.html seems to be what I came here for :) [18:24] dakotawulfy: actually. i wanted to reduce the fan noise and read something online. modified config files and couldnt revert back [18:24] volkan u got tall the stuff for pulseaudio?? [18:25] dakotawulfy: then did a fresh install anyway. now it is ok :) [18:25] ok [18:25] ok [18:25] dakotawulfy: but i dont know how to use my previous PGP keys [18:25] yes u can use all repos and keys [18:25] u got them [18:25] dakotawulfy: i didnt get what you said with the last sentence "tall the stuff" [18:26] Tasslehoff: #ubuntu+1 for Raring support please [18:26] volkan u can use all the repos and keys if u have them [18:27] Tasslehoff : Raring is EOL before Quantal is too, just a friendly fyi [18:27] dakotawulfy: just coppying to my home dir? [18:28] volkan did u copy the etc /apt [18:28] dir?? [18:28] that has all that info u need [18:29] sshfs#iam@server:/home/foo /home/foo/boo fuse defaults,idmap=user,allow_other,users,gid=1000,uid=1000,IdentityFile=/root/.ssh/id_rsa 0 0 [18:29] im ubuntu 13.04 and that's my [18:29] volkan on the old install [18:29] content in 'fstab' file === augustin_ is now known as autra [18:29] and i can't find what the problem. [18:29] volkan what did u save ??? [18:30] dakotawulfy: i mean only my keys. private and public PGP keys [18:30] dakotawulfy: i dont need apps back actually [18:30] i only need the keys [18:30] volkan in a text ??? [18:30] volkan did u save them [18:31] dakotawulfy: yeah they pgp-public.key pgp-private.key [18:32] just go to synaptic and try to add them under that part [18:33] Sungyo: #ubuntu+1 for Raring support please [18:33] thants ;) [18:33] volkan go to settings in synaptic [18:33] volkan then go to authentication [18:34] import key file [18:34] on both of them [18:34] Sungyo : is that the same ilk as thoctor :-) [18:34] hello, my webcam is not working could somebody give me a hint? [18:35] Zampouras: does it work in cheese? [18:35] need little help on nautilus shell scripting [18:35] volkan sorry go to settings then to the repositories [18:35] ActionParsnip no, but it used to work before. neither in skype [18:35] dakotawulfy: i will try thanks [18:36] Zampouras: skype is a poor test app [18:36] volkan then to authentication === augustin_ is now known as autra [18:36] ActionParsnip ok if you say so! do we have any solution on this? [18:36] i have written a script #!bin/sh touch NewTextDocumet.txt gedit NewTextDocumet.txt [18:36] Zampouras : run : lsusb use the 8 character hexadecimal ID to find guides [18:36] dakotawulfy: yeah, i found it [18:36] not working [18:37] dakotawulfy: thank you very much [18:37] ActionParsnip: hm, EOL as in end of support? [18:37] volkan: then add them ask were they are point it it will add them [18:37] volkan: n/p [18:37] Tasslehoff : yes [18:38] ActionParsnip: hm. because the support duration is shorter from 13.04? [18:38] Hi again :) I successfully created a bootable ISO of my own Ubuntu remix... but when I boot it with qemu-system-i386 -cdrom name.iso, no packages can be found. [18:38] dakotawulfy: thanks! [18:38] Tasslehoff : yes quite a lot shorter [18:39] The error I get is E: Unable to locate any package files, perhaps this is not a Debian Disc or the wrong architecture? [18:39] anyway, it seems to me that raring is the better choice on the rMBP, so I'll go that way. I always have the latest version installed anyway :) [18:39] ActionParsnip, thanks [18:39] ActionParsnip, I'd be surprised if there wasn't a fix for that [18:39] It should be both, assuming the debootstrap bits were done correctly.. so I'm a little lost as to where the packages might have vanished to on a 688MB image. [18:39] Is it something wrong with my filesystem size/manifest? [18:40] Tgm4883 : fix for what? [18:40] ActionParsnip, for 12.10 having longer support than 13.04 [18:41] Anyhow, if anyone who knows something about it sees this, leave me a message please. [18:41] I'm off to bed. Thanks :) [18:41] Tgm4883 : you could maintain the release yourself I guess [18:41] ActionParsnip, because that would break the supported upgrade paths [18:41] ActionParsnip, nah, it's the upgrade paths I'm worried about. I think that they will probably just support upgrading from 12.10 to 13.04+1 [18:42] Tgm4883 : just stick to LTS [18:42] Hi, I seemed to have lost sound on the laptop in the past day or two. Running U12.04 XFCE, how can I figure out what went bad? [18:43] Dedicated laptop buttons, still pop up applet which moves the progress bar, but no sound ever comes out. [18:43] tgm4883: was able to get the upgrade to work from the 12.04 to 12.10 then to the 13.04 on the 64 bit but not able to for the 32 bit [18:43] ActionParsnip, yes, while that does work for some folks,that isn't going to be what everyone does. "Just stick to LTS" isn't a valid answer to "There is no valid upgrade path from 12.10" [18:43] dakotawulfy, not sure what you mean? [18:45] was able to do an updgrade from the 12.04 to make it 12.10 worked on the 64 bit then to the 13.04 work fine on the 64 bit but was not able to get the 32 bit to work [18:45] dakotawulfy, IDK why it didn't work on 32-bit. It should [18:45] well when i updated the to the [18:46] tgm4883 12.10 was not able to get out on the web [18:47] had seen the bug had one time been able to get it to work but was not able to the last time i tryed [18:47] dakotawulfy, is there a question in there? I honestly don't know why you are telling me all of this [18:48] sw0rdfish: goddamnit, you had me searching for that file transfer for a good half an hour [18:48] sorry maybe read it wrong thought u wanted to no about upgrade [18:49] dakotawulfy, ah yea, I don't want to know about upgrade. We were discussing what would/should happen for 12.10 when there will be no valid upgrade path [18:49] from 12.10 -> [18:49] ok [18:49] sorry just got back at computer [18:50] tgm4883 did upgrade to 13.04 [18:50] dakotawulfy, yes, currently that is a valid upgrade path [18:51] tgm4883: sorry just did not read that close [18:51] no worries [18:52] locate marlene [18:52] oops [18:52] i need a remote desktop solution like teamviewer that i can install over ssh [18:53] teamviewer just crapped out on me i can no longer login to any of my ubuntu machines [18:53] djshotglass: I can't give specific advice, but it sounds like you want vnc [18:53] which is problematic because its a $1500 flight into most of the servers [18:53] I accidentally removed /usr/bin/python2.6 .. how can I know where it's installed so I create new symbolic link? [18:54] type -P python2.6 [18:54] FrEaKmAn_: I'd reinstalled it. You removed the binary afaik. [18:54] *reinstall [18:54] but ^ is correct [18:54] djshotglass, yea, I'd use VNC over SSH [18:54] TuxVarmari, ? [18:54] /usr/bin/python would most likely be the symlink === pie is now known as Guest11734 [18:56] I cannot reinstall... because I get error because of python-software-properties [18:56] which is saying that python version is not correct [18:56] FrEaKmAn_: Can you uninstall Python first? [18:56] FrEaKmAn_: Does it let you? [18:56] KatsumeBlisk, no [18:57] sw0rdfish: your avatar [18:57] it showed up in file transfers [18:57] BUT I HUNTED YOU DOWN NOW!

[19:25] Neytiri: how are you planning to get a new drive? swap in a new memory card? [19:26] i hav a seond set of card readersin my system with a 2 gig memory card that i want to use as the new /boot drive [19:26] yo all [19:26] <^Mike> I've been asked to test this kernel (http://kernel.ubuntu.com/~kernel-ppa/mainline/v3.9-rc7-raring/) but I'm not sure how to boot it when my system has encrypted LVM set up. So, /boot is on an unencrypted partition, and then it needs to decrypt and mount / in order to continue. Instead, the kernel panics with "cant find init, try passing init=" What do? [19:26] wilee-nilee, no idea how many sets are currently on the current card [19:27] Neytiri, look in boot, or what does the grub bootloader show. [19:28] i wanna say 9 [19:28] hello.. i'm not sure i'm using the best driver for my video card, although everything seems not bad. Is there any way to check if the driver is installed right and everything is right? [19:29] Neytiri, you only need 2 sets, remove the rest, that card is big enough if maintained. [19:29] well i would still like to upgrade it [19:29] when i built this system i ddint have a bigger one [19:30] dakotawulfy, thanks [19:30] Neytiri, Why are you doing it this way boot should just be in / [19:31] well problem for me is that I created symbolic link /usr/bin/python -> /usr/bin/python2.7 [19:31] and using the mbr [19:31] i wanted somethingi could take with me and keep most people off my sytem [19:31] FrEaKmAn_: n/p did not try too flood out before [19:31] Neytiri, you encrypted? [19:31] can ne1 answer me pls? [19:31] and then I accidentally created link /usr/bin/python2.6 -> /usr/bin/python [19:31] so python2.6 now links to python2.7 [19:31] what is why I want to know where python2.6 is installed so I can fix it [19:31] qum_: what video card? [19:31] no, i dont need to be, i jsut ned to be abel to keep my brother and family from being able to boot my system [19:32] FrEaKmAn_: so u got it working??? [19:32] Neytiri, A live cd has full access. [19:32] ChogyDan: Geforce 275gtx [19:32] system wotn boot cd [19:32] I tried to reinstall it, but python-software-properties is reporting incorrect python version [19:32] qum_: dkms status should tell you if the driver is installed [19:32] dakotawulfy, no.. I can't find where python2.6 is installed [19:33] FrEaKmAn_: check synaptic [19:33] is it possible to set ubuntu server to automatically download and install updates? [19:33] FrEaKmAn_: see if u can find it [19:33] ChogyDan: nvidia-319, 319.12, 3.7.0-7-generic, i686: installed [19:33] ChogyDan: that means it's the best driver and everything should work? [19:34] qum_: 3.7 kernel? is that correct? [19:34] qum_, Where did you get the 3.19 driver? [19:35] qum_, Is this 13.04?

[20:01] t3hb055nueb: i dont know if there is a special security channel for ubuntu. [20:01] t3hb055nueb: what about you ask your question in here? [20:01] Using Xirc, I cannot see the list of people in the channel. I messed up. [20:01] Oh, fixed that. [20:01] hi, do you any of you know if wget can be used to download tutorials stored on an Amazon Cloud Drive that i have to log into with a username and password, i tried the username and password switches with the part of the tutorial i wanted, and it will only download from the amazon.com/clouddrive, not from anything inside the account [20:01] We have two computers on our Windows domain network that are running Ubuntu 12.10. They currently have access to internet only and are in the company breakroom for the shop employees during breaks, etc. [20:02] t3hb055nueb: well, xirc is not a supported irc client [20:03] hello, is this the proper channel to ask for help regarding system logs, etc..? [20:03] Now the boss wants me to give access to these computers to a few folders on our Windows 2008 server where we keep machine photos and such. I have tried the directions found here with no luck. https://wiki.ubuntu.com/MountWindowsSharesPermanently [20:03] bkfitz, what do you see with this sudo ufw status [20:04] The folders need to auto mount in guest account. [20:06] brandt: go ahead and try us [20:06] Can anyone help with mounting windows shares on ubuntu? [20:08] PsiKloPx, it would help if you started with why that link didn't work for you [20:09] Ubuntu is a bows [20:09] a bows? [20:09] boss [20:09] ah === luigi is now known as Guest88417 [20:14] tgm4883, when I'm logged into the guest account I get the message that only root can mount [20:15] PsiKloPx, yes, that is true. That isn't how you would want to mount the drives anyway === awesomesauce is now known as Guest10841 [20:15] PsiKloPx, Since you are trying to mount it in the guest account, I'm assuming that all users have write access to the same drive share? [20:16] i got wget to ask me for the password to the clouddrive, but it downloaded nothing from inside it [20:16] oh wait a second [20:17] tgm4883, Yes they do. But I'm setting it up under my admin account. [20:18] PsiKloPx, you should probably mount it somewhere '/mnt/serversharename' and then do a symlink in the default user dir [20:18] tgm4883, full disclosure: I'm the sales manager/IT department/janitor/copy machine repairman/"whatever no one else wants to do" and I'm a novice when it comes to Linux. [20:18] PsiKloPx, have you been successful mounting it to /mnt/serversharename ? [20:19] actually no [20:19] PsiKloPx, ok, what part are you on? [20:19] I can browse to the folders that I want to share and tried makeing a symlink [20:19] PsiKloPx, lets just work on getting it mounted first (automatically) [20:19] I've backed out completely and starting over. [20:20] fstab is back to original [20:20] PsiKloPx, Ok, create a directory in /mnt/ to mount the share to [20:20] does anyone know how to set up an auto reply message in evolution? [20:21] The info I'm seeing in Google is out of date [20:21] tgm4883, Done [20:22] PsiKloPx, ok, setup fstab to mount the share to that directory [20:22] apparently i have to do all kinds of rigamarole with a cookie to get this password-protected page with wget, only i use curl [20:24] tgm4883, do I need to include smb:? [20:25] PsiKloPx, it would look similar to '//servername/sharename /media/windowsshare cifs guest,uid=1000,iocharset=utf8 0 0' [20:25] wow i guess it's way complicated to do what i want to do, isn't there a gui tool to download currently viewed pages with ubuntu? [20:25] PsiKloPx, from https://wiki.ubuntu.com/MountWindowsSharesPermanently [20:25] i tried this CLI stuff as long as i could lol [20:26] I saw this on login, what does it mean? "-NickServ- 75 failed logins since last login." [20:26] agent, I think that means, that since the last time you logged in, there were 75 failed login attempts to your account [20:27] I had an intrusion recently and I was wondering if this would be something lingering from that? [20:27] agent, define lingering. Did you format the machine? [20:27] agent: you have a fairly generic nick - it's not unfeasible to think other people where trying to use it as theirs [20:27] thanks tgm4883, I guess some animals just can't stay out of my things. [20:28] I've got something wrong..."line 12 in /etc/fstab is bad" I've got to go lock up the shop. I'll be back later. Thanks for your help. [20:28] no, I really am limited to what I can do atm.

Windows doesn't like other OSes. [23:50] you got that right [23:50] Noskcaj, you might want the #ubuntu-touch channel for nexus installs there is the touch and the raring desktop install. [23:51] wilee-nilee, thanks, i forgot about that channel [23:51] Pinkamena_D, Install XP first then ubuntu, we don't support backtrack, however XP first is the important part. [23:53] Pinkamena_D, If your going to multi-boot you want to be familiar with reloading bootloaders to the mbr if it is a msdos mbr setup. [23:54] have a huge question to ask..i'm wish to make ubuntu where i do not have sudo/sudoers.d files on it at all, with a named account that has full access to the entire system, is this possible? i know debian can do it [23:56] nat_: Ubuntu doesn't have the root account, but that's because it can be dangerous. [23:56] nat_: Why do you want it? [23:56] nat_: You can use "sudo su" for a temp "root" [23:56] If you install from an expert install, you can create an ubuntu install with a root user that can be logged in to. [23:56] i understand all this, but i'm wishing to make a system that has a root account [23:57] don't need a temp root access, wishing user to have full blown access to system [23:57] is there any way to install the "root" account? [23:57] All you do is make an admin account and use sudo in terminal [23:57] That's the way it is, and always will be. [23:58] i'm already part of admin account/group and still using sudo in terminal, i wish to be dangerous in linux with no sudo [23:58] Greetings! I noticed my hard drive was about 66% full for no apparent reason (I don't have 500GB of movies :P) So I did sudo du -h | grep G and found /var/lib/mlocate.db.e1GYsY to be almost 600GB!!! Is it safe to delete this file? [23:58] If you install from an expert minimal install, you can set root to be logged into by you. [23:58] nat_: Remove the password requirement for sudo for that user. RUnning sudo in front of every command would essentially do what you want. [23:58] I don't think you can change that after an install is done without a root user. [23:59] nat_ : I use sudo su
