| stlsaint | Unit193: ok, so i tried moving my directories, IE: Documents, videos etc | 00:02 |
|---|---|---|
| stlsaint | into the more simple, Documents -> docs, Videos -> vids, etc etc | 00:03 |
| stlsaint | Unit193: but then after getting out the terminal i saw all my dirs on my desktop, now whenever i place a dir in my /home/stlsaint they appear on the desktop | 00:04 |
| stlsaint | not sure how to really "search" or troubleshoot this :\ | 00:04 |
| Unit193 | stlsaint: Did you touch ~/Desktop ? What's in ~/.config/user-dirs.dirs ? | 00:10 |
| stlsaint | lol | 00:11 |
| stlsaint | Unit193: do your individual folders point to their respective dirs? IE: xdg_pictures_dir="Pictures"? | 00:12 |
| Unit193 | stlsaint: /etc/xdg/user-dirs.defaults is default. | 00:13 |
| stlsaint | Unit193: yea, does your user-dirs.dirs who different folders or all in home? | 00:15 |
| stlsaint | test time, brb | 00:16 |
| stlsaint | Unit193: lol no bueno | 00:20 |
| Unit193 | stlsaint: Mine is pretty basic. | 00:25 |
| Unit193 | ( http://pastebin.com/9Qs6MHM0 ) | 00:25 |
| stlsaint | Unit193: yea see mine just said $HOME/" smh, but i added in some dirs and rebooted but i still get a folder on my desktop when i try and make it in the /home/stlsaint | 00:26 |
| matt_symes | javanic: Try to identify if it's a kernel freeze or x locking up | 03:25 |
| matt_symes | Try pressing the caps lock key when it has frozen to see if the caps lock light toggles | 03:26 |
| matt_symes | Try rebooting using the magic key combination | 03:26 |
| matt_symes | Try getting to a console | 03:26 |
| matt_symes | THat will help narrow down the problem | 03:26 |
| matt_symes | Look in the log files for clues. /var/log/syslog /varlog | 03:27 |
| matt_symes | /var/log/dmesg | 03:27 |
| matt_symes | You need to narrow down where the problem is before you can start looking for a fix | 03:28 |
| matt_symes | Do a search on your hardware to see if there is any known issues and work arounds for it | 03:28 |
| matt_symes | For a brute force approach try some of the kernel command line parameters and driver quirks | 03:32 |
| Unit193 | !nomodeset | 03:32 |
| ubot93 | A common kernel (boot)parameter is nomodeset, which is needed for some graphic cards that otherwise boot into a black screen or show corrupted splash screen. See http://ubuntuforums.org/showthread.php?t=1613132 on how to use this parameter | 03:32 |
| matt_symes | That may narrow it down and help you find the best solution | 03:32 |
| matt_symes | Search on launchpad with you hardware and problem. It may have been fixed | 03:33 |
| Unit193 | (He quit.) | 03:33 |
| matt_symes | blast :| | 03:33 |
| matt_symes | I think i scared him off :) | 03:34 |
| matt_symes | That is quite a wall of text i just wrote there though | 03:34 |

| nehaljwani | Please help me with this error: libc6-amd64:i386 : Depends: libc6:i386 (= 2.15-0ubuntu20) but it is not going to be installed | 14:02 |
| rostam | HI I have a sudo access to my system, every time I use it, I need to enter the password. How could I configure sudo command do not ask for the password? thanks | 14:03 |
| matt_symes | are you really sure that's wise rostam ? You'll be circumventing one of the things that helps like Ubuntu more secure | 14:17 |
| matt_symes | /like/make | 14:17 |
| matt_symes | what are you trying to install nehaljwani ? | 14:22 |
| rostam | matt_symes: this is a personal system no one else use it ... | 14:25 |
| matt_symes | i don't advise it at all unless you never connect it to the internet or any network. | 14:27 |
| matt_symes | you can disable it by editing /etc/sudoers using visudo | 14:28 |
| nehaljwani | matt_symes: I am trying to install lib64expat1 | 14:28 |
| matt_symes | I'll not tell you how to do it though as i think it's a very bad idea. It gives you a place to start researching though | 14:28 |
| rostam | matt_symes: Is there a way I can restrict using sudo for certain commands. For example if I want to use cowbuilder/pbuilder I want sudo do not ask me for password? thanks | 14:29 |
| matt_symes | nehaljwani: If you start a thread on the forum i'll help you out. Post a link here. | 14:29 |
| nehaljwani | matt_symes: sudo apt-get install lib64expat | 14:29 |
| nehaljwani | gives me the error | 14:29 |
| nehaljwani | I have installed ia320libs which have magically removed the folder /usr/lib64 | 14:30 |
| matt_symes | rostam: Yes you can. You'll have to edit the sudoers file to do it for particular commands | 14:30 |
| matt_symes | nehaljwani: Start a thread in the forums and i'll help | 14:30 |
| nehaljwani | *ia32-libs | 14:30 |
| rostam | matt_symes: oh okay then that will be safe. thanks | 14:30 |
| matt_symes | nehaljwani: post the link back here | 14:31 |
| nehaljwani | matt_symes: OK | 14:31 |

| anas | I'm trying to install my usb wifi, that shows nowhere except in lsusb. Ifconfig, iwlist, iwconfig, show nothing. lshw shows me my wired connection...I tried many resources found on internet, starting from compiling rt73 drivers, ndiswrapper, ndisgtk.....any help? | 14:45 |
| matt_symes | nehaljwani: Just post in the forum | 14:54 |
| matt_symes | rostam: Read the man page for sudoers and look at the examples of NOPASSWD | 14:55 |
| matt_symes | rostam: Edit the file using visudo. This will check what you have entered for mistakes. If you break you sudoers file it's a pin to fix | 14:55 |
| nehaljwani | matt_symes: http://ubuntuforums.org/showthread.php?t=2137317 | 14:55 |
| matt_symes | rostam: also read the man page for sudo | 14:56 |

| nehaljwani | matt_symes: How to post in code format? | 14:57 |
| matt_symes | nehaljwani: I have post in that thread. Read my reply as i want you to post some information there | 14:57 |
| matt_symes | nehaljwani: Wraps the text in code tags like this [code]text[/code] | 14:57 |
| matt_symes | [code]text[/code] | 14:57 |
| nehaljwani | matt_symes: Check reply | 14:58 |
| nehaljwani | matt_symes: I don't think the problem relates with sources.list | 15:03 |
| matt_symes | nehaljwani: Read my last post | 15:08 |
| nehaljwani | matt_symes: Actually, I am testing to build the latest revisions of exiv2 on ubuntu using Solaris Compiler | 15:10 |
| nehaljwani | matt_symes: One of its dependencies is libexpatt4 | 15:10 |
| nehaljwani | matt_symes: I have tried to download the package and install it manually, using autoconf | 15:10 |
| matt_symes | and that did not work ? | 15:10 |
| nehaljwani | matt_symes: But then while building exiv2, I get the error: http://paste.ubuntu.com/5724696/ | 15:12 |
| nehaljwani | matt_symes: Solutions on internet suggest me to create a symlink with /usr/lib64/libexpat.so but this file doesn't exist | 15:14 |
| matt_symes | that's not good nehaljwani | 15:14 |
| nehaljwani | matt_symes: Care to explain a bit more? | 15:14 |
| matt_symes | your cross compiling for solaris yes ? | 15:15 |
| matt_symes | on a Ubuntu machine ? | 15:15 |
| nehaljwani | matt_symes: Since I want to test the tool's installation on many platforms (as a developers perspective), I am doing this | 15:16 |
| matt_symes | I've just been told it's not even in the raring repos | 15:17 |
| matt_symes | I need to investigate this for you and try to see what is going in. Keep an eye on the thread | 15:18 |
| nehaljwani | matt_symes: Sure, thanks a lot! :) | 15:18 |
| nehaljwani | matt_symes: I had compiled that expat lib using gcc compilers. Maybe I should try with Solaris Compiler and then check | 15:19 |
| nehaljwani | matt_symes: No, that didn't solve the problem | 15:22 |

| matt_symes | eprabhakar: ls /usr/bin/at | 15:52 |
| matt_symes | and finally (for the moment) : ls -l /usr/bin/at | 15:53 |
| eprabhakar | matt_symes: thank you for the kind enquiry, which at gives nothing | 16:01 |
| eprabhakar | matt_symes: /usr/bin/at gives -bash /usr/bin/at: no such file or command | 16:02 |
| eprabhakar | matt_symes: echo $PATH gives /usr/share/nodejs:/usr/local/sbin:/usr/local/bin:/usr/sbin:/usr/bin:/sbin:/bin:/usr/games:/usr/local/games | 16:02 |
| eprabhakar | matt_symes: ls /usr/bin/at: gives ls: cannot access /usr/bin/at: no such file or directory | 16:03 |
| eprabhakar | matt_symes: ls -l /usr/bin/at: gives ls: cannot access /usr/bin/at: no such file or directory | 16:03 |
| matt_symes | Hmm. Maybe you dont have it. What does this return ? | 16:05 |
| matt_symes | apt-cache policy at | grep -i installed | 16:05 |
| eprabhakar | matt_symes: when I run 'apt-cache policy at | grep -i installed' it gives 'Installed : (none)' | 16:07 |
| matt_symes | It's not installed then | 16:07 |
| matt_symes | sudo apt-get install at | 16:08 |
| eprabhakar | matt_symes: yes, then is there any way to get it installed | 16:08 |
| matt_symes | ^^^ my last command | 16:08 |
| eprabhakar | matt_symes: great, thank you | 16:08 |

| matt_symes | It'll be install to /usr/bin/at (assuminng you don't change it) | 16:09 |
| eprabhakar | matt_symes: Yes, I got it installed into /usr/bin/at, after running 'apt-get' and checking it with 'which at' | 16:10 |
| eprabhakar | thank you very much, it is of great help | 16:10 |
