| Unit193 | Use some sort of canuseeme port check, check your router setup? | 00:30 |
|---|---|---|
| dfx | Unit193: im sorry but i did not get it you mean those sites that tells you if this port its open or no ?? btw if i use my wifi i can ssh but not with 3g and keepin in mind my machine its on that wifi | 00:31 |
| dfx | Unit193: on this site http://www.canyouseeme.org/ he does not see me :S | 00:33 |
| jay | i have disk encryption enabled and all i get is a blackscreen on boot, i seen a gui only once to enter the password, any way to fix? | 01:28 |
| phillw | jay: do have the 'pass-phrase; written down? | 01:38 |
| jay | i know the passphrase yes | 01:38 |
| jay | i can boot into lubuntu just fine with the black screen, im just confused as to why i only seen a lubuntu gui for it once | 01:39 |
| phillw | Can you explain the problem? Can you log onto lubuntu, or is there a further problem? | 01:41 |
| jay | okay well i seen a gui to enter my disk encryption passphrase only on my first boot after install, after then its just a black screen. i can enter my passphrase at the black screen(no text input or anything) and it continues to boot as intended. Im just trying to get the gui back is all | 01:44 |
| jay | and my mouse and keyboard dont respond(i have a laptop) and i have to force shutdown and boot up like 2 or 3 times to fix that issue. thats the other problem. you can take a whack at either if you wanna help. Thanks in advance | 01:47 |
| jay | NOTED ive had these problems on ubuntu, xubuntu, lubuntu, and linux mint, but i am favoring lubuntu and using lubuntu now :) | 01:49 |
| Unit193 | What version? I'd think it could be plymouth or whatever is the crypt program. | 01:52 |
| jay | 12.10 | 01:52 |
| jay | ive went back and forth between 12.04 and 12.10 on the distros ive listed above, but i am sticking to 12.10 for now, unless i should do otherwise? | 01:53 |
| jay | and i do not have a UEFI bios if that makes a difference? i have a Toshiba Satellite laptop | 01:53 |
| Unit193 | So https://bugs.launchpad.net/ubuntu/+source/ubuntu-gnome-default-settings/+bug/1060123 but for Lubuntu? | 01:55 |
| ubottu | Launchpad bug 1060123 in ubuntu-gnome-default-settings (Ubuntu) "Plymouth theme does not show password prompt" [Undecided,Fix released] | 01:55 |
| Unit193 | (It would indicate that one of the plymouth-theme-lubuntu* packages needs fixed.) | 01:58 |
| jay | sry im a noob at linux :( how can i fix it, im willing to try the fix. i have nothing on my hdd at the moment. so nothing a reinstall cant fix if things go south lol | 01:58 |
| Unit193 | phillw: You know if anyone has done encrypted tests for Raring? | 02:01 |
| n-iCe | hi phillw | 02:01 |
| n-iCe | phillw: you use plain lubuntu desktop? | 02:02 |
| phillw | n-iCe: w | 02:03 |
| n-iCe | w? | 02:03 |
| phillw | n-iCe: can you explain what you mean by plain lubuntu desktop | 02:04 |
| n-iCe | default's desktop | 02:04 |
| jay | i read somewhere that restarting dbus may fix my mouse and keyboard issues? | 02:04 |
| jay | they usually do not work on cold boot unless i force reboot a few times | 02:05 |
| phillw | n-iCe: I use the default lubuntu,... then I add stuff, | 02:05 |
| Unit193 | jay: USB or PS/2? | 02:05 |
| jay | laptop, built in | 02:05 |
| Unit193 | Right, right. My bad. I personally don't know on that one, had issues with that and PS/2 mice and reloading the kernel module would help. | 02:06 |
| jay | i made a post on ubuntu forums for my issues and one gentleman pointed me to a page where it stated to add a line to /etc/xdg/lxsession/LXDE/autostart | 02:08 |
| jay | here http://lxlinux.com/#18 | 02:08 |
| jay | but there is no LXDE folder where it states, so i used the Lubuntu directory in place of it, i have yet to see if it fixed the issue as i just added the like | 02:09 |
| jay | line* | 02:09 |
| n-iCe | is this link workinf for you guys? http://dl.dropboxusercontent.com/u/35272968/Blog/xcompmgr.desktop | 02:11 |
| jay | no | 02:12 |
| jay | the site itself is down | 02:13 |
| jay | would trying to reinstall plymouth-theme-lubuntu-logo and text in synaptic possibly fix the issue Unit193? | 02:17 |
| Unit193 | Can't say for sure, but don't see why. Worth trying I suppose. You tried text booting? | 02:18 |
| jay | dont know how unless its in the grub recovery. never even tried though | 02:19 |
| jay | im new to linux, im trying to learn the ropes. id rather be guided until im comfy with the OS rather than taking a whack at things all willy nilly | 02:19 |
| Unit193 | The general recommendation on encryption are only use it if you need to, otherwise it can cause issues (as seen here for example.) | 02:21 |
| jay | encryption in general? or is home folder encryption fine? | 02:21 |
| jay | id fond of encryption but agreed, i do not NEED it | 02:22 |
| jay | im* | 02:22 |
| Unit193 | Well, the full disk encryption that is. I use TrueCrypt without problems, except if I forget a password for an older cryptainer... >_> | 02:22 |
| jay | full disk encrypt with truecrypt or just file containers? | 02:25 |
| Unit193 | I've just used files, not really needed full disk. | 02:25 |
| Unit193 | Though, sadly it isn't in the main Ubuntu repos, so I've had to build the package myself. | 02:25 |
| jay | sounds good. ill restart to see if the reinstall helped. thanks for the help | 02:26 |

| lubuntu__ | need help fixing fstab, im running lubuntu live cd right now, where do i start? thanks | 16:39 |
| pegmanm | I am about to deploy 32 servers and am having trouble with how udev is numbering the interfaces. On most machines this appears to be pretty random. IE there is a 4 port broadcom and a dual Intel nic in the host. But numbers goes 0 -2 broadcom 3 intel 4 braodcom and 5 intel. Is ther any easy way to force numbering by card at least. | 16:40 |
| pegmanm | iIndividual udev rules will not work here I have an image and no idea what the mac's will be before deployment. I would just like to have the Intels counted befrore the broadcoms etc | 16:41 |
| holstein | lubuntu__: i would start with a default version, and add what you need | 16:51 |
| holstein | lubuntu__: put a default fstab in place, test boot.. edit.. test boot.. etc | 16:52 |
| lubuntu__ | i dont know how lol im new to linux, trying to learn the ropes | 16:53 |
| holstein | pegmanm: since that question is not lubuntu specific, i would try in #ubuntu or the server channel (or mailing lists) | 16:53 |
| wxl | lubuntu__: what are you trying to accomplish? | 16:53 |
| lubuntu__ | remove a line from fstab on my hdd, currently running on live cd | 16:54 |
| holstein | lubuntu__: why? | 16:54 |
| wxl | what line? | 16:54 |
| holstein | lubuntu__: the quetsion is, what are you trying to accomplish, overall | 16:54 |
| holstein | lubuntu__: if you want to remove a line, navigate to it from the live CD and remove it | 16:54 |
| lubuntu__ | i added a line in fstab to make tmp noexec | 16:54 |
| lubuntu__ | and now i cant boot | 16:54 |
| wxl | why did you do that? | 16:55 |
| holstein | lubuntu__: i would undo that change, and test boot... | 16:55 |
| lubuntu__ | idk where to start | 16:55 |
| holstein | lubuntu__: ? | 16:55 |
| wxl | the live cd, from my memory, should mount your drives. | 16:55 |
| holstein | lubuntu__: you start the same as you did before | 16:55 |
| holstein | lubuntu__: you navigate to the same file, and edit it | 16:55 |
| wxl | the same way | 16:55 |
| wxl | ! | 16:55 |
| lubuntu__ | ok so how do i get read write access on my hdd from live cd? | 16:56 |
| holstein | !chown | 16:56 |
| ubottu | An explanation of what file permissions are and how they can be manipulated can be found at https://help.ubuntu.com/community/FilePermissions | 16:56 |
| holstein | though, you shouldnt have to | 16:56 |
| wxl | uh | 16:56 |
| holstein | OR< you can use an editor as root, as you did when you edited if before | 16:56 |
| wxl | chown? | 16:56 |
| wxl | i wouldn't recommend that | 16:56 |
| lubuntu__ | ok thanks lemme try it out | 16:56 |
| holstein | sudo gedit /path/to/file for example | 16:56 |
| lubuntu__ | thats what i did holstein, wouldnt let me save | 16:57 |
| wxl | ↑ now THAT makes sense | 16:57 |
| holstein | lubuntu__: i would try again | 16:57 |
| wxl | yeah live should mount drives rw | 16:57 |
| holstein | gksudo gedit or sudo nano... whatever you feel comfortable with | 16:57 |
| wxl | or sudo vi | 16:57 |
| holstein | as root with the editor of your choice :) | 16:58 |
| wxl | also you CAN get readwrite with mount -o rw,remount /path/to/drive | 16:59 |
| wxl | e.g. /dev/hda1 for example | 16:59 |
| lubuntu__ | how do i list drives in term? :/ | 16:59 |
| wxl | you can see all mounted drives with mount | 16:59 |
| wxl | you can see all drives with sudo fdisk -l | 17:00 |
| wxl | well, all mounts | 17:00 |
| wxl | sorry, partitions, last correction :) | 17:00 |
| holstein | lubuntu__: open a terminal | 17:02 |
| holstein | sudo nano /path/to/file | 17:02 |
| holstein | lubuntu__: use tab to auto-complete the path | 17:02 |
| holstein | unless you have a good backup, then you can just cp the backup over the current | 17:02 |
| wxl | well we know the file: /etc/fstab | 17:03 |
| holstein | probably has a mount path | 17:03 |
| wxl | well yeah | 17:04 |
| lubuntu__ | worked, drive was in /media | 17:05 |
| wxl | usually are | 17:05 |
| lubuntu__ | it was unlisted in mount and fdisk | 17:05 |
| lubuntu__ | idk why but i just couldnt get it last night, i felt i was doing it the same way. Fresh start in the morn helped, thanks guys! | 17:06 |
| lubuntu__ | since its a little more active here now, is there a fix for my laptop mouse and keyboard not responding on boot unless i force reboot a few times? | 17:06 |
| wxl | probably buy new hardware | 17:07 |
| wxl | that certainly doesn't seem like any sort of a typical issue | 17:07 |
| lubuntu__ | yeah toshiba sucks anyway thanks guys! | 17:07 |
| purplefool | hey all, having a problem with libreoffice calc. this is not the right place for this question, but i cannot find the right place. can someone point me in the right direction? thx all | 17:15 |
| wxl | purplefool: #libreoffice ? | 17:18 |
| purplefool | tried that but i was alone there... | 17:18 |
| wxl | purplefool: you're doing it wrong. i just went there and -!- Irssi: #libreoffice: Total of 121 nicks | 17:19 |
| wxl | 120 other people != alone | 17:19 |
| purplefool | hmmm...guess i don't know chat so well. what do i type in to get there? | 17:20 |
| wxl | ok so you're using xchat | 17:20 |
| wxl | which i don't know a hoot about :) | 17:21 |
| wxl | are you on multiple networks, or just freenode? if you don't know that, is this the only irc channel you're on? | 17:21 |
| purplefool | i am on freenode and #lubuntu is only channel i am on | 17:22 |
| wxl | then /join #libreoffice should get you there | 17:22 |
| wxl | don't forget the # | 17:22 |
| purplefool | ok, will give it a try | 17:22 |
| purplefool | thx man, got it...is learnin! | 17:23 |
| phillw | wxl: as you are hopefully aware, the last spins of 13.04 have landed. As ever, the release team do NOT like doing this so late, but the bug was a show-stopper across the entire family. So, once more... up to the breach :D | 17:24 |
| phillw | and speaking of libeoffice, there is a major bug! | 17:24 |
| wxl | phillw: been busy at work and home so haven't been testing :( what's the bug? | 17:27 |
| phillw | keyboard shortcuts are no longer working.... provoked a 'WTF' from a still poorly balloons (Nicholas, head of all our QA teams). | 17:28 |
| wxl | hahaha | 17:29 |
| wxl | like any of them at all?! :O | 17:29 |
| phillw | that is libreoffice bug. the one that would cripple the rest of is https://launchpad.net/bugs/1080701 | 17:30 |
| ubottu | Launchpad bug 1080701 in ubiquity (Ubuntu Raring) "After 'Preparing to install Ubuntu' screen, raring installation hangs" [Critical,Fix released] | 17:30 |
| wxl | oh well nevermind libreoffice :) | 17:31 |
| phillw | soz, too many open tabs! | 17:31 |
| wxl | so this shouldn't affect alternate, no? | 17:33 |
| phillw | I am now starting to understand Julien's cunning plan of adding me to him as a release manager for lubuntu.... It's the usual 'fun' but with added responsibility | 17:33 |
| phillw | wxl: it would, the alternates get re-spun real quick :D | 17:34 |
| phillw | they were there within 20 mins of the 'respin the world' being issued. | 17:34 |
| wxl | well ubiquity != debian-installer is what i mea | 17:34 |
| wxl | mean | 17:34 |
| phillw | no, it is a partitioner issue | 17:35 |
| wxl | oh yikes | 17:35 |
| phillw | and, as colin said.. it would affect alternate and server. | 17:35 |
| phillw | dinner is server... talk later. | 17:36 |

| Hiig | anyone know how to get file sharing to work between lubuntu and windows 7? | 17:54 |
| phillw | Hiig: !samba | 18:06 |
| phillw | !samba | 18:06 |
| ubottu | Samba is the way to cooperate with Windows environments. Links with more info: https://wiki.ubuntu.com/MountWindowsSharesPermanently and https://help.ubuntu.com/12.04/serverguide/C/windows-networking.html - Samba can be administered via the web with SWAT. | 18:06 |
| Hiig | i have samba installed on lubuntu. downloaded it on windows as well, but i dont know how to open it up | 18:06 |
| Hiig | there is no exe in the installation folder | 18:06 |
| phillw | for lubuntu? | 18:07 |
| phillw | there are no .exe's | 18:07 |
| Hiig | for windows | 18:07 |
| Hiig | its already installed on lubuntu | 18:07 |
| phillw | to install samba on windows, you would need to read up on the tutorials for windows | 18:08 |
| Hiig | where? | 18:08 |
| phillw | Hiig: I cannot comment, as I do not use it.. but a quick look gave me http://www.noobslab.com/2012/03/configure-samba-sharing-between-ubuntu.html | 18:09 |
| Hiig | problem, is i cannot access via ip either | 18:10 |
| Hiig | ahh fuck it. ill set up a web server on my windows computer | 18:10 |
| Hiig | who knew transfering one stupid file would be so damn hard | 18:10 |
| phillw | Hiig: I've skim read the article and with the instructions and plenty of screen shots, you should be okay :) | 18:12 |
| Hiig | like i said, i cannot access via the IP | 18:12 |
| Hiig | something must be wrong on the windows end | 18:12 |
| phillw | that article does also cover how to set up windows, which is what I needed to see to ask you to look at it. | 18:14 |
| Hiig | file sharing wont turn on, amongst other things. windows is just messed up | 18:15 |
| Hiig | i thought it was going to be a straightforward process | 18:15 |
| phillw | Hiig: as it appears to an issue at the windows end? I cannot help. SAMBA is not my strong area, and I've never used it on a windows install. Sorry :( | 18:20 |
| Hiig | ahh no worries. im looking into web servers instead | 18:20 |
| cerebrate | i wanna run fallout tactics on my laptop ;s; | 18:21 |
| phillw | Hiig: you may ask on #ubuntu-server someone there may be familiar with using it. | 18:22 |
| cerebrate | uh :x i think it runs winee 1.5 on lubuntu :I | 18:22 |
| Hiig | cheers | 18:22 |
| cerebrate | o/ :D | 18:23 |
| KneferilisHome | hello | 19:17 |
| KneferilisHome | I installed lumuntu in virtual box and it finished installation and now it is trying to shut down, but it is taking it too long | 19:18 |
| KneferilisHome | any ideas? | 19:18 |
| jjpintor | force it | 19:18 |
| KneferilisHome | jjpintor: what if that ruins it? | 19:20 |
| KneferilisHome | it just finished installation and it wants to reboot | 19:21 |
| KneferilisHome | is this normal behaviour? | 19:26 |
| KneferilisHome | it takes long to reboot? | 19:26 |
| KneferilisHome | after it installs? | 19:27 |
| wxl | KneferilisHome: has it rebooted yet? | 19:27 |
| wxl | …or is it still trying to shut down? | 19:27 |
| KneferilisHome | wxl: it is still trying to shut down | 19:27 |
| wxl | KneferilisHome: then remove the (virtual) cd (the iso file) and hit enter and see what happens. | 19:28 |
| wxl | KneferilisHome: if nothing there, just pull the plug on the vm and boot it up. it'll work. | 19:28 |
| jjpintor | as wxl said. do it | 19:29 |
| KneferilisHome | wxl: no cd, ok thanks | 19:29 |
| KneferilisHome | I will do it now | 19:29 |
| wxl | KneferilisHome: well whatever you used to install it | 19:29 |
| wxl | eject it | 19:29 |
| wxl | you don't want the restart to cause it to boot to that again | 19:29 |
| wxl | typically the install process ends in a restart. before it restart it says to eject installation media and hit enter. and THEN it restarts. | 19:29 |
| jjpintor | do you know how to automate workspace switching? | 19:30 |
| wxl | so that a particular program opens on a particular workspace? | 19:30 |
| KneferilisHome | jjpintor: no, I don't | 19:30 |
| KneferilisHome | so, it worked and it booted | 19:31 |
| KneferilisHome | why powering it off, didn't ruin the installation? | 19:31 |
| KneferilisHome | thanks for the tip for the automation | 19:33 |
| wxl | KneferilisHome: cuz the install's already done | 19:34 |
| wxl | restarts don't have a lot of value in linux XD (( except for kernel updates )) | 19:34 |
| KneferilisHome | XD? | 19:34 |
| wxl | um | 19:35 |
