| linuxuz3r | Surakusa, try sed | 00:00 |
|---|---|---|
| linuxuz3r | #sed | 00:00 |
| Surakusa | linuxuz3r: Can I do that in one line? :3 | 00:00 |
| Surakusa | like "head -n 1 | sed 's/ /_/g' for example? | 00:01 |
| linuxuz3r | im not in linux | 00:01 |
| linuxuz3r | i dont know if you can call sed in bash | 00:01 |
| cuong_t | I got this from their (system 76) support, can anyone verify this: "All of our laptops will output to two external monitors simultaneously. The Lemur, Pangolin, and Gazelle will all need to have the built-in display turned off before you can turn on the second display. The Bonobo can output to three monitors simultaneously." | 00:02 |
| Surakusa | linuxuz3r: ok i'll test around a bit. :P | 00:02 |
| Surakusa | linuxuz3r: thanks | 00:02 |
| pzula | is it possible to delete all OS's listed in Grub, or do I just need to overwrite all partitions with one OS first? | 00:02 |
| blob4000 | is 13.04 officially supported as of Thursday? | 00:03 |
| pzula | I have dual boot Win7 and Ubuntu | 00:03 |
| linuxuz3r | it seems that you know sed why ask it in ubuntu? | 00:03 |
| OerHeks | blob4000, yes | 00:03 |
| dr_willis | blob4000: once its released - yes. | 00:03 |
| blob4000 | thanks! i'm looking forward to it. i've been sticking with 12.04 because of an HDMI problem i was having with 12.10 | 00:04 |
| wilee-nilee | pzula, What is your goal here? | 00:04 |
| pzula | wipe both systems and reinstall both systems | 00:05 |
| wilee-nilee | pzula, If you need no backups, the windows install disc has a manual install function that allows you to wipe partitions and install in sized partitions. I would install it first. | 00:07 |
| pzula | wilee-nilee: thank you | 00:08 |
| wilee-nilee | pzula, no problem, I assume here that the computer is not a safe boot uefi setup, and the windows disc is not a OEM, but a regular install disc. | 00:09 |
| LjL | Surakusa: if by special characters you mean non-ascii, perhaps you could pipe it some utility like "iconv", "recode" or "tcs" | 00:09 |
| pzula | yes i have a regular install disc | 00:09 |
| luckycrema | ciao | 00:10 |
| luckycrema | qualcuno parla italiano? | 00:10 |

| pzula | wilee-nilee: would it be best to first install windows on a smaller partition and then when I load the Ubuntu disc, it will see the remaining free space? | 00:10 |
| Athanasius | Yes hello. Quick question: Recommendation for software to make a flow-chart? | 00:11 |
| wilee-nilee | pzula, Yeah, you want windows at the front of the disc. | 00:11 |
| blob4000 | quick question: if i'm running 12.04 LTS at the moment, what's the best way to update to 13.04 on Thursday? just run the update manager, and disable the requirement for LTS versions? | 00:11 |
| dr_willis | pzula: when you reinstall linux it will redo the grub menus | 00:11 |
| OerHeks | blob4000, correct | 00:11 |
| pzula | wilee-nilee: so it will install grub by itself? | 00:11 |
| blob4000 | OerHeks: thanks! is there any significant advantage to a fresh install? | 00:11 |
| wilee-nilee | pzula, Yeah as dr_willis mentioned | 00:12 |
| pzula | awesome | 00:12 |
| pzula | thank you both | 00:12 |
| dr_willis | blob4000: best may be to update the day befor.. ;) of wait a few days afterwards.. of use the torrents thursday to get the iso. | 00:12 |
| blob4000 | yeah | 00:12 |
| blob4000 | cool :) | 00:12 |
| Surakusa | LjL: Thanks for the reply! Well this is the text I got (hopefully this webchat will work) ONE·_YEAR_(1%)_PREPAYMENT_ADDENDUM_TO_NOTE that little 'dot' to the right of One and the % sign I want rid of. lol | 00:12 |
| dr_willis | every release the servers get hammered. ;) i tend to update/upgrade the day befor.. then wait out the storm | 00:12 |
| OerHeks | blob4000, my way is: download the 13.04 iso, burn or dd to usb device, upgrade, if all went well you can decide to do a fresh install, anyway you have the iso to repair your install. | 00:13 |
| blob4000 | dr_willis: yeah? so when you get it the day before, it's still the beta? | 00:13 |
| dr_willis | blob4000: technically yes.. but when i next update a few days later its the final. but theres normally very few updates. | 00:13 |
| blob4000 | OerHeks: good idea | 00:13 |
| dr_willis | using the torrents after reelase will be the fastest time to get the ISO files also. ;) | 00:14 |
| blob4000 | i predict 13.04 will be the last version with the current Unity interface, things will start to really change by 13.10, towards a concise UI between devices | 00:14 |

| LadyNikon | libreoffice or openoffice | 00:14 |
| LadyNikon | discuss!@ | 00:14 |
| dr_willis | some of the fastest speeds ive EVER seen my isp do for me was ubuntu torrents on release day | 00:14 |
| blob4000 | libre! | 00:14 |
| hiyo | Hi can anyone point me to a current guide for packaging python programs for Ubuntu? | 00:14 |
| dr_willis | LadyNikon: openoffics is not in ubuntu any more.. so theres not a lot to discuss | 00:15 |
| OerHeks | !libreoffice | 00:15 |
| ubottu | LibreOffice is a Free and open source office suite that includes word processor, spreadsheet, presentation, vector drawing and database components. To install: "sudo apt-get install libreoffice". User help available in #libreoffice. | 00:15 |
| blob4000 | LadyNikon: libreoffice seems to be better supported now, and version 4 just came out. it's very nice | 00:15 |
| LadyNikon | dr_willis: yea? I am looking at it in synaptic | 00:15 |
| LadyNikon | libreoffice it is! thanks all :) | 00:15 |
| dr_willis | you sure its not actually installing libreoffice. since that is installed by default | 00:15 |
| blob4000 | cheers! | 00:15 |
| === rcerny is now known as miup | ||
| dr_willis | libreoffice has been the default for what? the last 3 releases? | 00:16 |
| LadyNikon | yea it is installed. but I wanted to know mainly if it was worth keeping :) dr_willis | 00:16 |
| blob4000 | i'm curious what the ubuntu desktop team is up against, in terms of show stopping bugs left to fix for 13.04, any have a quick link to their bugzilla? | 00:16 |
| blob4000 | i found it: https://launchpad.net/ubuntu/+milestone/ubuntu-13.04 | 00:17 |
| hiyo | Hi can anyone point me to a current guide for packaging python programs for Ubuntu? | 00:21 |
| dr_willis | be same as packageing any other stuff i imagine hiyo | 00:21 |

| OerHeks | yeah, 6.06 | 00:27 |
| _098v_ | Does anyone know how to install different themes for Xubuntu 12.10? | 00:27 |
| dr_willis | seen way too many people worry about getting it the instant it releases also | 00:27 |
| spydon | dr_willis: ok, thanks | 00:27 |
| regor | hey i am new | 00:28 |
| dr_willis | people will be asking every 5 min.. 'is it out yet....' ;P | 00:28 |
| blob4000 | how quickly do all of the mirrors get a new release? | 00:29 |
| blob4000 | many hours i'm guessing? | 00:29 |
| dr_willis | i think thats part of the wait for 'official' release.. they sync the mirrors then say 'its out' | 00:30 |
| dr_willis | but really.. its best to use the torrents to get the ISO files | 00:30 |
| blob4000 | :P | 00:31 |
| dr_willis | and you can then upgrade from the iso files i belive | 00:32 |

| The_Rufus | I have a server running ubuntu server. I had the OS installed on a flashdrive which has died. All my important data was in /home which resided on a HighPoint RocketRaid 2320 RAID5 array. I re-installed Ubuntu server 10.04 and installed the appropriate drivers. When I mount the filesystem on the RAID array, every directory is intact and contains all the previous installations information except for the /home directory, which is empty | 00:35 |
| dr_willis | check your old fstab? perhaps /home/ was mounted from some other location | 00:36 |
| The_Rufus | what's the path to fstab? | 00:37 |
| Jordan_U | dr_willis: Sounds like the fstab was on the flash drive, though I agree about your guess as to the problem. | 00:37 |
| dr_willis | im rereading what you said.. and it seems a little confuseing.. /home/ was on a raid. everything was there except /home/ you mean / was on a raid. and everything (/etc /var /lib) is there except /home ? | 00:37 |
| dr_willis | fstab is in /etc/ | 00:38 |
| The_Rufus | the flashdrive was mounted as /, /home/ was on the raid array | 00:38 |
| Jordan_U | The_Rufus: Have you mounted the RAID array yet? | 00:38 |
| foobArrr | printing problem: my printers work for a few pages, then stop printing. the print queue window shows "Printing ...", the kde printer settings panel shows "in use", but nothing happens anymore. after reboot they work again, but only for a few pages. same behavior with two different printers (Brother HL-2030 and Oki B4100), same behavior on a fresh user account. 12.10 64bit | 00:38 |
| falcom | foobArrr, make sure you got a stable driver? | 00:39 |
| dr_willis | untill you mount the raid - its not accessable. :) | 00:39 |
| The_Rufus | old fstab has the entry UUID=blahblahblah /home ext4 nodev,nosuid 0 2 | 00:39 |
| dr_willis | The_Rufus use the 'sudo blkid' command to identify what partion is /home/ and mount it. | 00:40 |
| dr_willis | or copy that line to your current /etc/fstab and 'sudo mount /home' | 00:40 |
| sjd_zeus | join #ubuntu-cn | 00:40 |
| dankodigo | hi | 00:41 |
| foobArrr | falcom: I use the same ppds that I used a year ago, and back then they worked fine. also: 2 different printers, 2 different manufacturers, I doubt it's a driver issue. | 00:41 |
| dr_willis | you dont really have to moiunt it over your current /home/ you could mount it to /old-home/ or /media/oldhome | 00:41 |
| dankodigo | asd | 00:41 |
| Jordan_U | The_Rufus: In re-reading your past comments I'm confused as well. What you're saying seems self contradictory. | 00:41 |
| yll_alex | ni hao | 00:41 |
| The_Rufus | that's why I'm so confused | 00:41 |
| dr_willis | The_Rufus: you are booted from what right now? a differnt flash drive? | 00:41 |
| The_Rufus | no, installed new installation onto an 80gb HDD | 00:42 |
| dankodigo | hi everyone im from chile | 00:42 |
| dr_willis | so you need to mount youir old home, in order to access it.. the new install has no idea what/where your old home was.. unless you told the installer where it was | 00:43 |
| dr_willis | hopefully you dident tell it to format the old home... | 00:43 |
| Jordan_U | The_Rufus: How did you mount the filesystem from the RAID array? Please give the exact commands you ran, and the current output of "cat /proc/mounts". | 00:43 |
| MartynKeigher | hey all... need advice. i need to connect my 12.04 server to a mysql server via odbc. what is the best method for doing this?? | 00:45 |
| The_Rufus | I've added the line to my current fstab and I'm rebooting | 00:45 |
| MartynKeigher | the mysql db sits behind an external FQDN that i have access to. just need the best method of creating the odbc link to it. | 00:45 |
| Ray2 | jordan_U...I have 10.04 installed on sda1 w/grub-1.98 installed to mbr....I also have 12.04 o sda3 | 00:45 |

| The_Rufus | it worked | 00:47 |
| The_Rufus | @dr_willis: THANKYOU SO MUCH | 00:47 |
| Jordan_U | The_Rufus: Congratulations. Though I still have no idea what your current setup is, and I'm a little worried that you don't know either. | 00:48 |
| Ray2 | jordan_U...I have 10.04 installed on sda1 w/grub-1.98 installed to mbr....I also have 12.04 installed on sda3..when I installed 1204 all I did was update grub...Now I want to delete 10.04 what do I need to do to insure 12.04 grub will be on mbr | 00:49 |
| The_Rufus | It's really not that complicated. / is on an 80gb HDD (previously on an 8gb USB flash disk, which died) and I have a 10Tb RAID5 array on a Highpoint RocketRaid controller which /home is mounted on | 00:49 |

| The_Rufus | though now I'm going to mirror my OS drive on a regular basis | 00:50 |
| The_Rufus | ;) | 00:50 |
| dr_willis_ | at least you had your old fstab to look at The_Rufus | 00:50 |
| The_Rufus | word of advice, don't get Highpoint controller cards. Their driver support is $*#(@*^ hideous | 00:51 |
| Jordan_U | The_Rufus: I think the more important point to learn from this is that RAID is not a replacement for backups. Your actual data is much more important than the configuration stuffs in /etc/. | 00:51 |
| The_Rufus | I know, and being in IT, I preach that to people all the time | 00:52 |
| The_Rufus | problem is, I've ran out of storage space to backup onto | 00:52 |
| Kilroy_was_here | hi all, ubuntu noob here, just saying hi | 00:53 |
| Jordan_U | Ray2: Ubuntu (on BIOS based systems) installs grub to the MBR of the "first" drive by default. So Ubuntu 12.04's grub is probably what's in the MBR already. You can ensure that though by running "sudo dpkg-reconfigure grub-pc" and make sure that the drive whose MBR you want grub's boot sector installed to is selected. (Use space bar to select / unselect a device, and Enter to continue to the next screen). | 00:53 |

| peepsalot | i can't even ctrl-c out of ls | 01:19 |

| dr_willis | peepsalot: may be a good idea to make it mount to /media/peeps/storage in the future, and perhaps setup a soft link from /home/peeps/storage to /media/peeps/storage | 01:22 |
| dr_willis | The_Rufus: given how rarely i would need such an option. ;) easier to just do a 'gksudo gedit /path/to/file' | 01:23 |
| peepsalot | dr_willis, i tried umount -f and even that said it was busy | 01:23 |

| dr_willis | i recall nfs not playing nice when the remote servers drop connection. | 01:24 |
| Addle | Well, hard mounting NFS can help protect from data loss. A feature, not a bug. But you can soft mount it. | 01:25 |
| dr_willis | BeeBuu: i think you can /msg ubottu release packagename and get the info | 01:25 |
| Jordan_U | BeeBuu: #ubuntu+1 for 13.04 (though you can check package info for any realease of Ubuntu from http://packages.ubuntu.com ). | 01:25 |
| Addle | peepsalot: Try restarting nfs-common and then do a umount. | 01:26 |
| dr_willis | actually it sould be /msg ubottu info release packagename i think ;) | 01:26 |
| pzula | when installing ubuntu on a partition that is seperate from windows 7, what do I select from the "use as" menu? FAT32? EXT2? | 01:26 |

| ZeloZelos | SimonM? | 01:28 |
| Jordan_U | peepsalot: What is the exact umount -f command you ran, and what was the exact output? | 01:30 |
| peepsalot | Jordan_U, http://pastebin.ubuntu.com/5597202/ | 01:31 |
| Jordan_U | peepsalot: "sudo umount -l /home/peeps/storage" should at least allow you to do a lazy umount, which, while not completely unmounting will at least stop future processes from freezing and allow you to use the directory again. | 01:32 |
| Addle | peepsalot: If you want it to just fail next time and not hang until the server comes back, you should be able to soft mount it. | 01:34 |

| Addle | peepsalot: Just add 'soft' to the mount options. | 01:34 |
| peepsalot | ok i will try that, thanks | 01:34 |
| Addle | peepsalot: Of course, if the nfs server goes away for any reason, you could lose data, so hard mounting has its advantages, but it's an option. :) | 01:35 |
| peepsalot | Addle, what would happen if i write to a disconnected soft mounted nfs mount | 01:36 |
| peepsalot | it would act like it went ok, but data goes nowhere? | 01:36 |
| Addle | peepsalot: It should give an error, but that depends on what's writing. | 01:36 |
| Addle | peepsalot: Honestly, I always go with hard mounts to avoid problems, so not sure. But presumably an app that tried to write would get errors and should report it. | 01:37 |
| peepsalot | ok, well i don't write to it often, and i should know when i'm on my home network or not, so i will give it a try | 01:37 |
| Addle | peepsalot: In theory, it should act somewhat like if a SMB share went down. | 01:38 |
| jordan__ | Is this a good place to ask support related questions? | 01:38 |
| wilee-nilee | jordan__, You see this in the channel header " Official Ubuntu Support Channel" | 01:39 |
| Jordan_U | peepsalot: As explained in "man nfs", unless you specify the sync mount option write functions will return success before the data has neccessarily been sent to the server. If the server disconnects between the process writing to the file, and that data actually being sent to the server, the process will never know that it failed. | 01:39 |
| jordan__ | wilee-nilee: o, my bad | 01:39 |
| Jordan_U | peepsalot: But of course the sync mount option has its own significant downsides. | 01:39 |

| wilee-nilee | jordan__, Nah, it is all good. ;) | 01:40 |
| === otend_ is now known as otend | ||
| Jordan_U | peepsalot: Also mentioned in that man page is that if you have a particularly important, application, that won't mind blocking on write for a long time, you can open the file with the O_SYNC flag so that you know if the write succeeded or failed (to actually get to the server). | 01:44 |

| _0xDE1337 | Right, I tried installing a different theme for which changed the menus and such but many text boxes are still black | 02:03 |
| dr_willis | ive always had issues with 'dark themes' and some text boxs. | 02:04 |
| dr_willis | in ff, or other apps.. may be how the apps are not using gtk3 properly.. not sure what the deal is | 02:04 |
| dr_willis | best themes ive found so far ar some of the ones at the webupd8 ppa. theres one that is customizeable/tweakable... but i cant recall its name. (not on my ubuntu box right now) | 02:05 |
| _0xDE1337 | Yeah, annoying stuff like this: http://i.imgur.com/5rcKTlz.png | 02:05 |
| Jpmh | foobArrr: gedit merely passes the text to the spooler - firefox actually page formats it (renders it) and then passes the rendered code. Once there is a rendering engine it is easy enough to show it | 02:06 |
| dr_willis | the whole theme obsession seems tobe fadeing away in the last year or 2 ;) | 02:06 |
| Addle | Yeah, I have the same issues every time I go for a dark theme. Really annoying. | 02:06 |
| Addle | Always end up with some black on black text, somewhere. *sigh* | 02:06 |
| _0xDE1337 | I honestly just hate purple and orange | 02:06 |
| _0xDE1337 | I'll just find a simple light theme I guess | 02:07 |
| dr_willis | i forget what theme im even using.. one of the webupd8 ones. | 02:07 |
| relipse | how do I chmod all directories in my /html folder? chmod -R u+x,g+x,o+x is what i have so far | 02:07 |
| Addle | relipse: Given the flags you showed, chmod -R ugo+x /html | 02:09 |
| relipse | Addle: ONLY directories | 02:09 |
| Addle | relipse: Oh, you just want the dirs... Hm... | 02:09 |

| Addle | relipse: Let me figure out a way. I can't recall. | 02:10 |
| Addle | There we go, that's what I was aiming for. Thanks qin. | 02:10 |

| Addle | relipse: Something along those lines should work. Test it to be sure. | 02:14 |

| K`zan | I do have the 64 bit ones... | 03:00 |
| tgm4883 | K`zan, there are different python libraries for 32 and 64 bit? | 03:01 |

| K`zan | tgm4883: SO I am told, I've got other libraries that are both AFAIK. | 03:01 |
| tgm4883 | K`zan, I don't think there are different python libraries for 32 and 64 bit, but if you need 32-bit libraries for other things it's usually done by adding :i386 to the end | 03:02 |

| dr_willis | of course theres some fuse-ftp tools out also that do a similer task. | 03:27 |

| pifan | usr13: pastebinit? that in uni/multiverse? | 03:38 |
| usr13 | brimstone222: "firmware" You mean filesystem? | 03:38 |
| pifan | usr13: or do you just mean through browswer? | 03:38 |
| brimstone222 | I mean, unlocking a network locked USB datacard. | 03:39 |
| usr13 | pifan: What version of Ubuntu is it? | 03:39 |

| brimstone222 | usr13: It's possible under windows, I have done it. But now I quit using windows. So, is there any way you know? | 03:39 |
| usr13 | pifan: I thought it was included on 12.04 | 03:40 |
| brimstone222 | dr_willis:USB datacard i mean, USB modems, | 03:40 |
| dr_willis | try the windows app in wine perhaps? i imagine any software for doing flashing. may be rather picky | 03:40 |
| usr13 | brimstone222: "network locked"? What kind of device is it? | 03:40 |
| brimstone222 | No, it doesn't wok in wine. It uses .net I guess, with mono it never works. | 03:41 |
| brimstone222 | it pretty hard to make USB work under wine. | 03:41 |

| OerHeks | brimstone222, what does " lsusb " say about your datacard? | 03:48 |
| brimstone222 | Earlier, for unlocking, we just needed an unlock code, which could be easily obtainable once you have the IMEI number. | 03:48 |
| brimstone222 | But now, they need flashing with a non-tweaked firmware. | 03:49 |
| usr13 | pifan: But partitioning is part of the Ubunut install process, (well, it's also a part of all linux install processes), and it's yet to be done on sda so.... | 03:49 |

| ubottu | Canonical's partner repositories provide a location for software vendors to publish applications. The repo itself can be added by running this in a !terminal: « sudo add-apt-repository "deb http://archive.canonical.com/ $(lsb_release -sc) partner" » | 04:05 |
| bazzer | usr13: i know...built quite a few initrds in the past back in kernel 2.2, 2.4, and 2.6 days | 04:06 |
| usr13 | bazzer: When using a generic kernel image, initrd is needed. | 04:06 |
| bazzer | qin: no it makes sense...guess google didn't fail me i failed google :) | 04:06 |
| qwebirc80594 | dr_willis: not that partners | 04:06 |
| usr13 | bazzer: Then what is your question. (I'm sorry, I must have gotten lost in this conversation.) | 04:06 |
| usr13 | bazzer: Then what is your question? (I'm sorry, I must have gotten lost in this conversation.) | 04:06 |
| bazzer | usr13: yes i know.... i was just curious as to what the -- at the end of then line meant or did | 04:07 |
| qin | bazzer: Also just discovered #grub. | 04:08 |
| bazzer | usr13: according to the link qin found it means it stops the kernel from processing flags and only process parameters such as filenames after that | 04:08 |
| bazzer | qin: ya but #grub is deathly quiet :) | 04:08 |
| dr_willis | end of flags. - thats what it basically does in bash also i recall | 04:08 |
| usr13 | bazzer: Ok, well, I don't know. Maybe that is it. | 04:08 |
| usr13 | Ok, end of flags it is ;) | 04:09 |
| bazzer | dr_willis: yeah end of flags...didn't know...no such animal was around back in the old days or wasn't used whatever the case | 04:09 |
| dr_willis | i cant even recall eve using that -- syntax in bash | 04:09 |
| qin | bazzer: quite easy to test it ;) | 04:09 |
| usr13 | qin: What, take -- out and see what happens? | 04:09 |
| dr_willis | ls -al -- -al | 04:10 |
| dr_willis | ;) | 04:10 |
| bazzer | qin: aye i KNOW it'll boot without it | 04:10 |
| usr13 | may not do anything. | 04:10 |
| bazzer | qin: the point i've tried to figure out was what good was it doing :) | 04:10 |
| qin | bazzer: rather : "-- -splash" | 04:10 |
| dr_willis | it may just be there as a place holder. | 04:10 |
| bazzer | ya that's my guess | 04:11 |
| usr13 | if it is at the end of the line, it more-than-likely not make any difference. | 04:11 |
| bazzer | i generally delete the thing with no mercy when altering parameters | 04:11 |
| bazzer | yeah it definitely doesn't matter if it is there or not | 04:12 |
| bazzer | anyway...just some knot i had to untie that distracted me for the last 30 minutes :) | 04:12 |
| bazzer | well thanks for the info...time to become one with the pillow | 04:14 |
| qin | https://wiki.archlinux.org/index.php/Kernel_parameters | 04:16 |
| qin | -- Boot using systemd instead of SysVinit. | 04:17 |
| qin | interesting | 04:17 |

| satyamash | Hi, I downloaded a ubuntu server 12.04.2 i386 iso and used unetbootin to make a bootable pendrive | 04:17 |
| histo | satyamash: good | 04:18 |
| satyamash | The check CD integrity test fails, but md5sums of the iso show that it is correctly downloaded | 04:18 |
| histo | satyamash: You can md5sum the usb drive but you have to use bs and count to get it right to verify | 04:19 |
| histo | !md5sum | satyamash | 04:19 |
| ubottu | satyamash: To verify your Ubuntu ISO image (or other files for which an MD5 checksum is provided), see http://help.ubuntu.com/community/HowToMD5SUM or http://www.linuxquestions.org/linux/answers/LQ_ISO/Checking_the_md5sum_in_Windows | 04:19 |
| histo | satyamash: basically do an ls whatever.iso and take the blocksize then dd if=/dev/of/usb bs=1 count=blocksizeFromls | md5sum | 04:20 |
| satyamash | histo: but a simple md5 sum myfile.iso matches the md5sum on the site | 04:21 |
| histo | satyamash: ahh nvm you used unetbootin not a dd to make the usb. | 04:22 |
| satyamash | yea | 04:22 |
| SonikkuAmerica | histo: *buntu ISOs are dd-compatible. | 04:22 |
| histo | satyamash: if you dd if=some.iso of=/dev/of/usb then the md5sum of the usb with the proper count would match but unetbootin does something different | 04:22 |
| satyamash | I have some other data on the disk too, dd would've erased the disk completely | 04:22 |
| histo | SonikkuAmerica: hybrid isos yes | 04:23 |
| histo | satyamash: yes | 04:23 |
| histo | satyamash: what is the issue though? Does the thumb drive boot? | 04:23 |
| === Computer1_ is now known as Computer1 | ||
| SonikkuAmerica | histo: Most of the images are these days... | 04:23 |
| satyamash | histo: it boots, but the test CD integrity option says that the net-pcmia....some file is corrupted.. | 04:23 |
| Ari-Yang | hey guys, what does the setting 'texture from pixmap' mean of composite? | 04:24 |
| betrayd | FLN a typo can make one | 04:24 |
| histo | SonikkuAmerica: I know | 04:24 |
| satyamash | Do you mean to say that dd is better than unetbootin.. | 04:24 |
| histo | satyamash: it's a bit for bit copy I thihk unetbootin does some other crafty things like installing syslinux again or grub or whatever. | 04:24 |
| SonikkuAmerica | satyamash: I would still use Unetbootin... | 04:25 |
| betrayd | usr13: it just lets the command know that that's the end of the fisrt set of parameters | 04:25 |
| histo | satyamash: Use unetbootin or startup disk creator from a ubuntu machine if you must | 04:25 |
| satyamash | ahh okay, i'll give startup disk a try, if it doens work, i'll use dd | 04:26 |
| satyamash | but I'll have to backup other data on the drive | 04:26 |
| histo | satyamash: yes dd will just right to the begining of the drive not caring about partitions or filesystems present | 04:26 |
| satyamash | Will the dd method make the pendrive unbootable on older machines? | 04:27 |
| histo | satyamash: It shoulnd't as it's a hybrid iso | 04:28 |
| usr13 | betrayd: Tnx info. Night all.... | 04:34 |
| Tanshin | If anyone has a spare moment to help out a FNG, it'd be lovely. | 04:40 |
| qin | what's fng? and what's a trouble? | 04:41 |
| Tanshin | F*cking new guy. The trouble is that I've got a desktop running 12.04, and a wireless card it won't recognize. | 04:42 |
| Tanshin | The driver package is installed, and it shows up in lspci, but it doesn't appear in Network Connections | 04:43 |

| ubottu | Tanshin, please see my private message | 04:45 |
| Tanshin | Excuse me. | 04:45 |
| Tanshin | Specifically, it's a Broadcom BCM4318, and I have the bcmwl-kernel-source and b43-fwcutter packages installed. I previously had the broadcom-sta-common and broadcom-sta-source packages installed, to no effect. | 04:46 |
| histo | I thought the 4318 was one with issues but you can check the help from ubottu also search askubuntu for you chipset. | 04:49 |
| histo | !broadcom | Tanshin | 04:49 |
| ubottu | Tanshin: Help with Broadcom bcm43xx can be found at https://help.ubuntu.com/community/WifiDocs/Driver/bcm43xx | 04:49 |
| cappicard | heya... what's a decent authenticator app for ios? | 04:50 |
| satyamash | Hi, the startup disk creator also failed | 04:50 |
| Tanshin | cappicard, I use 1Passwd. It's pretty handy. | 04:51 |
| OerHeks | Tanshin, " sudo apt-get install b43-fwcutter firmware-b43-installer " & reboot should work | 04:51 |
| satyamash | it's giving an error on the integrity check for /install/netboot/ubuntu-installer/i386/pxelinux.cfg/default | 04:51 |
| cappicard | ok... my att.net or gmail got hacked. I received 6-7 password reset emails at the same time tonight | 04:51 |
| Tanshin | cappicard: I'd recommend taking a long, hard look at your security questions. Remember that passwords in excess of 20 characters are handy, and you can simply use a sentence as your password. | 04:52 |
| Tanshin | For instance, if I need a new password, "at&t is kind of a thorn in my side to deal with" is really long, easy to remember generally | 04:53 |
| Tanshin | You don't *need* a password manager, necessarily. | 04:53 |
| ali4ever4 | Tanshin, good idea | 04:55 |
| === Anya is now known as Tanshin | ||
| histo | cappicard: You can use two factor authentication with gmail | 04:56 |
| Addle | Tanshin: Perhaps, but I highly recommend a password manager. That way you can have a different password on every site. | 04:57 |
| OerHeks | getting reset mails, and being able to login, i would say you are not hacked. | 04:57 |
| histo | The reset emails are probably a hack attempt in itself. | 04:58 |
| Tanshin | Addle, You can still have a different password on every site. For instance, for Ubuntu.com, I could say, "ubuntu is not what I use for gaming just yet" | 04:58 |
| Addle | Tanshin: Not with all the sites I have accounts on. lol | 04:59 |
| Tanshin | lifehacker.com? "I need to be more productive in general" | 04:59 |
| Tanshin | Addle: Nonetheless, it's a good method if you can't or don't want to use a password manager | 04:59 |
| * histo is still bothered that google doesn't just ban people for X ammount of time after so many login attempts | 05:00 | |
| Addle | Tanshin: Counted them: 59 entries in KeePassX. Ouch. :) Yeah, that's not a bad method if you really want to avoid the PW manager. | 05:00 |
| Tanshin | I think I'd like a hardware key affair, like a... what was it? Mandylion | 05:00 |
| histo | Addle: two factor auth maybe the way to go for you. | 05:00 |
| Tanshin | Addle: Yeah, I know what you mean. But I like having ways planned out if I'm ever deprived of my manager. | 05:00 |
| Addle | histo: I do have it enabled in places. But KeePassX works beautifully, so I'm happy. | 05:01 |
| Tanshin | ....uh oh. | 05:02 |
| Tanshin | So I did that and it's showing a not-console screen instead of booting up properly | 05:02 |
| Tanshin | Wait, it might be... Ah, there it goes. | 05:02 |
| Tanshin | Aaaaand no card is showing up. | 05:03 |
| Tanshin | What bugs me is previously, it showed a card and said "Missing firmware" | 05:03 |
| Tanshin | now it's not even doing that | 05:03 |
| Tanshin | Going to try completely removing the packages and redoing what he said. | 05:05 |
| bhavesh | I installed JoliCloud DE beta in Ubuntu 12.04.2 from omgubuntu's post (http://www.omgubuntu.co.uk/2013/04/jolicloud-your-new-favourite-ubuntu-de) but its not working as expected. Its half broken. The only thing which works is the browser. How am I supposed to go back to unity? I cannot logout of this DE | 05:06 |
| tof | quit | 05:07 |
| bhavesh | I did sudo /usr/lib/lightdm/lightdm-set-defaults -s ubuntu from ctrl + alt + f2 but still it again boots into jolicloud | 05:07 |
| histo | bhavesh: check your .xinitrc and see what it did there | 05:08 |
| bhavesh | histo: how? there is no file manager | 05:08 |
| histo | bhavesh: also make sure it's still using lightdm who knows what jolicloud does | 05:08 |
| histo | bhavesh: ctrl+alt+F2 and cat ~/.xinitrc | 05:08 |
| histo | bhavesh: also sudo service lightdm status | 05:08 |
| histo | bhavesh: on the login screen choose unity as your session | 05:10 |
| Tanshin | OerHeks, I did what you said. It didn't work, so I uninstalled all Broadcom packages and tried again. It's still not displaying anywhere except lspci. Any other suggestions? | 05:11 |
| histo | Tanshin: where else are you talking about it displaying? | 05:13 |
| histo | Tanshin: What version of ubuntu are you running? | 05:13 |
| Tanshin | histo: 12.04. The device USED to appear in the Network Config menu, with "Firmware missing". It appears in lspci. I don't know where else I would look. | 05:14 |
| histo | Tanshin: Install firmware then using System Settings > Hardware drivers | 05:15 |
| Tanshin | histo: You're coming in late... the device no longer appears there. | 05:15 |
| qwebirc68057 | what device? | 05:16 |
| Tanshin | Derp, hangon | 05:16 |
| ikk- | my mouse is supended after 10 min , how to wakup it ? | 05:16 |
| Tanshin | Now that I've cycled the drivers using Modprobe, and then reloaded them the same way, it's appearing in Additional Drivers | 05:16 |
| bhavesh | histo: cat : home/bhavesh/.xinitrc No such file or directory | 05:17 |
| histo | Tanshin: the module has to be loaded and then that module needs the firmware | 05:17 |
| bhavesh | histo: lightdm start/running, process >no here< | 05:17 |
| histo | bhavesh: At the login screen select unity instead of jolicloud | 05:17 |
| bhavesh | histo: Also there is no login screen | 05:17 |
| Tanshin | histo: Too early to tell, but I think between you, me, and OerHeks, it's fixed. | 05:17 |
| bray90820 | Anyone here use mythtv | 05:18 |
| Tanshin | since it appears in Additional Drivers and says it's downloading and installing the driver | 05:18 |
| bhavesh | histo: I set it to automatic login while installing ubuntu | 05:18 |
| histo | bhavesh: well you need to figure out how that auto login with lightdm works and disable it | 05:18 |
| terayama | l | 05:19 |
| bhavesh | histo: k, ty :) | 05:19 |
| histo | bhavesh: I'd assume something in /etc/lightdm | 05:19 |
| DoYouKnow | hi... all I want to do is install 12.04 32-bit through wubi, but since I'm on a 64-bit laptop it wants to redownload the whole thing | 05:19 |
| DoYouKnow | I extracted the iso on 32-bit winxp, but it wants to redownload everything | 05:19 |
| DoYouKnow | I don't need 64-bit ubuntu | 05:20 |
| Tanshin | Some programs really need an "I dun wanna!" button, yeah? | 05:20 |
| DoYouKnow | well, at least a somewhat sophisticated CLI | 05:20 |
| histo | DoYouKnow: Do you need to use wubi? | 05:20 |
| DoYouKnow | histo: Yeah, I don't know where my USB stick is | 05:21 |
| DoYouKnow | and I can't go looking for it this late | 05:21 |
| histo | DoYouKnow: I would highly advise against using wubi as support for it is dropping as of 12.10 | 05:21 |
| bcbc2 | DoYouKnow: don't extract the iso. put it in the same folder as wubi.exe before running. | 05:21 |
| histo | DoYouKnow: But yeah if windows is 64bit then it's going to want 64bit wubi whatever | 05:21 |
| DoYouKnow | it's not working, bcbc2 | 05:22 |
| DoYouKnow | it keeps trying to redownload files | 05:22 |
| bcbc2 | you said you extracted the iso | 05:23 |
| DoYouKnow | oh, got it working | 05:23 |
| DoYouKnow | I couldn't use the 12.04.2 wubi | 05:23 |

| Tanshin | yes | 05:26 |
| histo | Tanshin: is there a details button? | 05:27 |
| linux_unix-10 | Why is it that when I install a new program, it doesn't appear at the Applications Menu/ | 05:27 |
| histo | linux_unix-10: perhaps it's a command line program | 05:27 |
| Tanshin | not on the little dialog box, let me back out | 05:27 |
| linux_unix-10 | One example is VLC. | 05:27 |
| Tanshin | histo, there is not a details button | 05:28 |
| Tanshin | just help, activate, close | 05:28 |
| histo | Tanshin: which one did you activate? b43 b43-sta ??? | 05:29 |
| Tanshin | sta wireless | 05:29 |
| linux_unix-10 | Why is it that when I install a new program, it doesn't appear where it should be? (Graphical programs included) | 05:30 |

| iam | hlkhl | 05:30 |
| iam | kllk\ | 05:30 |
| iam | nkll; | 05:30 |
| iam | jkl | 05:30 |
| linux_unix-10 | One example is VLC. I can't find it. | 05:31 |
| satyamash | linux_unix-10: did you try searching via the unity dash thing? | 05:31 |
| histo | An-IP-BreAKDoWN: sudo apt-get install bcmwl-kernel-source | 05:31 |
| dr_willis | tap the super key. type vlc, and it should show up | 05:32 |
| histo | Tanshin: sudo apt-get install bcmwl-kernel-source | 05:32 |
| linux_unix-10 | It finds the program, but its shortcut does not appear in the Applications area. | 05:32 |
| dr_willis | assuming you are using Unity of course | 05:32 |
| histo | Tanshin: reboot and use your wifi | 05:32 |
| histo | Tanshin: actually stop | 05:32 |

| linux_unix-10 | how to download youtube videos in ubuntu? | 05:49 |
| histo | hammommah: well it needs to be forwarded on the modem and the router | 05:49 |
| dr_willis | linux_unix-10: several firefox extensions exist to make that easy | 05:49 |

| doomlord | does ubuntu/linux work with displaylink usb monitors these days | 05:51 |
| histo | Tanshin: try sudo rmmod wl && sudo modprobe b43 | 05:51 |
| dr_willis | doomlord i recall someone trying them a few months back.. and having issues.. i havent heard them mentioned in several months. | 05:52 |
| dr_willis | doomlord - id check on askubuntu.com - see if others have had luck with them in newer releases | 05:52 |

| akhilesh | how do i install partly downloaded update in 12.04? | 05:55 |
| satyamash | run the update manager again, it'll download the remaining udates automatically | 05:56 |
| histo | Tanshin: Did that command finish? | 05:56 |
| Tanshin | still no | 05:56 |
| Tanshin | it's still perkolating | 05:56 |
| histo | Tanshin: We are trying to unload the wl and ssb module and load the b43 which is the right one | 05:56 |
| Tanshin | Maybe it wants a cup of tea. | 05:56 |
| histo | Tanshin: It shouldn't take more than a split second. | 05:56 |
| Tanshin | Why the &&? Why not just run the commands individually? | 05:57 |
| akhilesh | ok | 05:57 |
| Tanshin | Well, it's been over a minute | 05:57 |
| qin | akhilesh: this can help: sudo apt-get install -f | 05:57 |
| histo | Tanshin: ctrl+c to stop it | 05:57 |
| histo | Tanshin: and sudo modprobe -r wl ssb | 05:57 |
| histo | Tanshin: then sudo modprobe b43 | 05:57 |
| histo | Or if you uninstall the sta garbage and just install the firmware-b43-installer package you should be good to go. | 05:57 |
| histo | Tanshin: if not try searching for your chipset on askubuntu.com | 05:58 |
| Tanshin | that first command is taking too long | 05:58 |
| Tanshin | gonna try removing wl and ssb seperately to figure out which one is the pain | 05:58 |
| histo | Tanshin: sudo modprobe -r wl | 05:58 |
| Tanshin | it was wl | 05:59 |
| Tanshin | wl is taking forever, ssb went through right away | 05:59 |

| Tanshin | Wat. | 06:00 |
| Guest42178 | hello everyone! | 06:01 |
| histo | Tanshin: does dpkg -l | grep broadcom return anything? | 06:01 |
| histo | Tanshin: I have no idea why you can rmmod the wl driver | 06:02 |
| histo | Tanshin: but according to everything I see online the opensource b43 driver should work with your chipset using the proper firmware | 06:02 |
| Tanshin | You know | 06:04 |
| Tanshin | I'm just gonna rebuild this computer from USB on up with the latest version | 06:05 |
| Tanshin | and start fresh from there | 06:05 |
| histo | Tanshin: K this is not something difficult and should just work. I have no idea what you've done already though. The hardware drivers page just works. | 06:06 |
| histo | Tanshin: also the instructions on the link from ubottu explain what to do for different cards. b43 with firmware will work for you card form everything I see. | 06:06 |
| Tanshin | ... | 06:07 |
| Tanshin | Your grep command returns broadcom-sta-common | 06:07 |

| hammommah | histo, i ran traceroute from my mates comp and it stops at 123.200.133.4; lns1-c1.bne.acn.visp.iseek.com.au; ACN is my internet provider, does this mean that they are locking port 22? how could i tes tthis | 06:11 |
| histo | Tanshin: yeah it will show up rc which is removed but config files are still there | 06:12 |
| Tanshin | Yeah, that looks like what it's showing | 06:12 |
| histo | Tanshin: you should remove all the broadcom stuff and just use b43 witht hat firmware package I suggested | 06:12 |
| Tanshin | yeah, but it's not working | 06:12 |
| histo | hammommah: Try using a different port for ssh and see | 06:12 |
| Tanshin | So I'm going to reformat and start fresh | 06:12 |
| Tanshin | instead of working on a tower with a year old install that I can't remember what I've done to it | 06:13 |
| histo | Tanshin: Okay if not I would try searching for your wifi device on askubuntu i'm sure someone else has used it and may have a different suggestion | 06:13 |
| hammommah | histo, lol great idea dont know why i didnt think of that | 06:13 |

| Vivekanand | Hello, I have a question | 06:16 |
| Vivekanand | A software is installed "SUCCESSFULLY" in a ubuntu 32 server (provider godaddy) but when it is accessed through browser it just doesnt work. The installation file (created during installation in the user's home directory) is not visible now (Application installed as the user and not as root, also it is not a kind of hidden files issue). When we try | 06:16 |
| Vivekanand | to install the same software again it says those instalaltion folder already exists. When will this scenario occur ? | 06:16 |
| histo | hammommah: yeah try a different port just to see if they are blocking 22 | 06:17 |
| histo | hammommah: if not I'd suspect your port forward is screwed up somehow. | 06:17 |
| histo | Vivekanand: what "software" | 06:17 |
| Vivekanand | histo: its an help desk software, which has a web interface to access it | 06:19 |
| hammommah | histo, whats cmd for shh on different port? ssh user@pulicip -p 2222 | 06:20 |
| histo | Vivekanand: Well you'd probably have to talk with whom ever wrote the "helpdesk" software and ask them as you issue has nothing to do with ubuntu | 06:20 |
| histo | hammommah: ssh -p 2222 user@pulicip | 06:20 |
| hammommah | histo, ty | 06:20 |
| Vivekanand | Thanks histo, I'll contact them. | 06:20 |
| Vivekanand | Btw, have you ever faced this kind of scenario with any other software/application ? | 06:21 |
| histo | Vivekanand: most likely your issue is though wherever this "software" installed it's pages to is not in the /var/www or wherever apache is set to host up webpages | 06:21 |
| histo | Vivekanand: probably stuck it in /home/user/public_html or something similar | 06:21 |
| hammommah | histo, port 2222 worked straight away :) | 06:22 |
| histo | hammommah: double check your port 22 forward | 06:22 |
| histo | hammommah: that's very odd that an isp would block 22 . I've seen them block 25 but not 22 before | 06:22 |
| hammommah | all i did was change value in current port forward from 22 to 2222? | 06:24 |
| Vivekanand | Actuallly histo: that application has its own bundled tomcat which will be used by starting the application | 06:24 |
| Vivekanand | The problem happening here is that server startup itself is failing because the application cant "see" the installation directory | 06:25 |
| Vivekanand | but when tried to install the same thing in same place again, it says files already exists | 06:26 |
| Vivekanand | thats what is confusing me | 06:26 |
| jony | I want a job to work from home | 06:26 |
| Vivekanand | I've ruled out the permission issue as the installation was done as normal user and not root user | 06:27 |

| qin | hammommah: is it just testing machine, not any mission critical box? | 06:36 |
| hammommah | histo, this is weird when i change port to 22 in /etc/ssh/ssh_config and sshd_config it seems ssh is listening on port 0???? http://pastebin.com/66ajQKSp | 06:37 |
| hammommah | what could e causing that? | 06:37 |
| hammommah | qin, its a headless server currently running minecraft, csgo and local media server, plus local dns and mail server | 06:40 |
| ThatOneRoadie | hammommah: according to that pastebin, i see it listening on 22 | 06:42 |
| ThatOneRoadie | tcp 0 0 *:ssh *:* LISTEN 15686/sshd | 06:42 |
| ThatOneRoadie | *:ssh means port 22 | 06:42 |
| ThatOneRoadie | and 15686/sshd is the ssh daemon | 06:42 |
| hammommah | ahhhh ok, then why do i get no route to host when using 22 and works fine when i use port 2222? whats different | 06:43 |
| ThatOneRoadie | use netstat -tulpn to confirm (the -n flag doesn't resolve port numbers to processes) | 06:43 |
| ThatOneRoadie | if port 2222 works, but port 22 does not, then check three things: | 06:44 |
| ThatOneRoadie | 1) Your router's port forwarding (Consult router manual, and make sure the router itself isn't hogging external port 22) | 06:44 |
| SocialEvil | guys the new internet is going to be installed home, but the cable guy said that the mac address is "already taken" by some guy in another city and he cant connect me. any idea how can my mac address be the same like the mac address from another city ? | 06:44 |
| Jordan_U | SocialEvil: That doesn't even conceptually make sense, unless the problem is with the MAC address of their own equiptment. | 06:45 |
| ThatOneRoadie | 2) iptables (sudo iptables -L, and look for something like chain INCOMING \n DROP ssh -- anywhere anywhere tcp dpt:ssh | 06:45 |
| ThatOneRoadie | ) | 06:45 |
| ThatOneRoadie | Social: It's entirely their problem. Tell him to fix it. | 06:46 |
| hammommah | router is setup correctly as all i do is change 22 to 2222, remote management is disaled in case this uses port 22. | 06:46 |
| ThatOneRoadie | If their modems have doplicate mac addresses, they need to fix it. | 06:46 |
| Jordan_U | m | 06:46 |
| ThatOneRoadie | hammommah: so, if someone external to your network connects to port 22, the connection drops, yes? | 06:46 |
| mattnie | SocialEvil: I have thought the MAC Adress is only valid localy??? | 06:47 |
| hammommah | yep i get "no route to host" ut a tracepath on 22 shows it finds my ext ip add | 06:48 |
| ThatOneRoadie | mattnie: MAC addresses are (supposedly) unique IDs assigned to networking devices. In theory, a single unique MAC belongs to a single networking device (Be it a networking card, wireless card, or cable modem) | 06:48 |
| qin | SocialEvil: If it is MAC code, you need to get it from your piervious provider... | 06:48 |
| ThatOneRoadie | To summarize an entire section of most networking certifications, IP address is an address that tells some other computer how to talk to it (like a phone number); MAC Address is how to GET to it (like a house address) | 06:49 |
| hammommah | my iptables has nothing in it ar the standard chain input (policy accept) and same for forward and output | 06:49 |
| mattnie | ThatOneRoadie: I know that! But is it normaly that the macadress is used for anything on the internet? | 06:50 |
| SocialEvil | Jordan_U mattnie qin thank you guys | 06:51 |
| linux_unix-10 | how do i add fonts in ubuntu? | 06:51 |
| ThatOneRoadie | mattnie: the way you're thinking, no; Cable companies assign Public IP addresses to their coaxial cable modems by MAC address. If the MAC is invalid (unsupported modem or possible theft of product) or duplicated (Possibly trying to, again, steal service) | 06:51 |
| ThatOneRoadie | then no IP is assigned | 06:51 |
| Jordan_U | !fonts | linux_unix-10 | 06:51 |
| ubottu | linux_unix-10: Font installation basics here: https://help.ubuntu.com/community/FontInstallHowto - No fonts in Flash? Install "ttf-mscorefonts-installer" (from !Multiverse), "gsfonts", and "gsfonts-x11". For the official ubuntu font, see: http://font.ubuntu.com/ | 06:51 |
| Nmbr1 | mattnie: mac addresses are used by routers to build things called ARP tables. this associates mac addresses with ip addresses and among a number of other things ensures that traffic is routed to the correct address, because whereas DNS translates IPs to hostnames (and vice versa) packets are routed by routers and managed switches by mac address | 06:51 |

| hammommah | ThatOneRoadie, i have it set to 22 atm when i try to connect using port 22 i get "no route to host" if i try port 2222(with server still listening on 22) i get connection refused. | 06:52 |
| hammommah | ACN | 06:52 |
| ThatOneRoadie | Ooh, connection refused. That screams "My port forwarding is wrong" | 06:52 |
| ThatOneRoadie | which is good | 06:53 |
| ThatOneRoadie | if it's listening on 22, it should deny 2222 | 06:53 |
| mattnie | ThatOneRoadie, Nmbr1: thanks for your explanation! :) | 06:53 |
| Nmbr1 | no problem! | 06:53 |

| Baconator | no up and downs | 06:57 |
| qin | hammommah: since your 2222 allowed conection and now refusing, it is most likely firewall, either box or router. | 06:57 |
| ThatOneRoadie | qin: He's saying that port 2222 sees connection refused when not listening, whereas 22 shows no route | 06:58 |
| ThatOneRoadie | which makes me think the router is hogging the port | 06:58 |
| ThatOneRoadie | hammommah: Did they send you a Netgear, netcomm, or D-Link router? | 06:58 |
| ThatOneRoadie | If they claim they don't block ports, they're pretty much held to that | 06:59 |
| hammommah | qin, no no 2222 still works when i set sshd to listen on port 2222, i just changed it ack to 22 to check diffence in netstat -tulpn | 06:59 |
| hammommah | netgear dgn2200 | 06:59 |
| Nmbr1 | hammommah: easy check, plug the ssh server box into the lan port of the router. login to the router and set port forwarding for Incoming TCP 2222 forward to ip of your ssh server on TCP 22. open putty with a proxy like tor and try to ssh into the box. | 07:00 |
| SocialEvil | Jordan_U about the mac.. they said. when they write "ifconfig" that the mac adress they see is already in their system, added for a guy in other city. | 07:01 |
| Jordan_U | SocialEvil: When they write ifconfig where? On their own equiptment? | 07:02 |
| SocialEvil | on my computer | 07:02 |
| qin | SocialEvil: you really need new ISP. | 07:02 |
| Jordan_U | SocialEvil: So there is a person at your house right now, working with your computer? | 07:02 |
| SocialEvil | yes | 07:02 |
| SocialEvil | to both of you :D | 07:02 |
| ThatOneRoadie | hammommah: Make sure the "Blocked Services" page is blank (some come pre-loaded), and then check the UPNP page and make sure it's not being forwarded there. | 07:02 |
| ThatOneRoadie | Otherwise, double-check your port forwarding settings; make sure you have port 22 forwarded (both TCP and UDP) to the right address | 07:03 |
| Jordan_U | SocialEvil: Ask them why two MAC addresses being the same on different networks matters at all. | 07:04 |
| ThatOneRoadie | Nmbr1: the dgn2200 (and really, most netgear routers) do port forwardning, but not port mapping. | 07:04 |
| SocialEvil | Jordan_U what do you mean different networks ? | 07:04 |
| Jordan_U | SocialEvil: Note that you can change your MAC address, even through the network manager GUI, but it shouldn't matter. | 07:04 |
| hammommah | what if i turn it to modem only mode? there is no blocked services ta only blocked sites and its empty | 07:05 |
| ThatOneRoadie | don't do that; Modem only mode shuts off NAT and routing | 07:05 |
| hammommah | not mentioned in upnp | 07:05 |
| Jordan_U | SocialEvil: Is the modem/router they're using configured to do NAT? | 07:06 |
| hammommah | Nmbr1, cant plug server straight into modem/router as server is in grannyflat 30m away | 07:07 |
| SocialEvil | Jordan_U i have no idea.. actually i am in germany, they are in bulgaria.. and my mother is dealing with them.. and she dond understand a thing .. she only knows how to turn it on and go to her mail :D | 07:07 |
| SocialEvil | Jordan_U even tho i can change my mac.. to what should i change it ?:D | 07:07 |
| qin | SocialEvil: Are you using BE? | 07:07 |
| SocialEvil | BE? i guess not | 07:07 |
| ThatOneRoadie | SocialEvil: if they're whining about the MAC of something in the next town over, then it's their problem. Tell him to get you a modem with a different MAC | 07:08 |
| qin | SocialEvil: They may brag about Migration Authorisation Code | 07:08 |
| SocialEvil | ThatOneRoadie they didnt even changed the net .. its still the old isp now | 07:08 |
| SocialEvil | qin i have no idea what that is :) and where to get it | 07:09 |
| hammommah | i just dont know why port 2222 works fine ut 22 doesnt when there setup exactly the same must just leave it on port 2222 and e done with it | 07:09 |
| qin | SocialEvil: http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Migration_Authorisation_Code, some other countries have similar feature | 07:10 |
| ThatOneRoadie | hammommah: the only thing I can think of is either the ISP is lying and they do block incoming port 22, or the router for some reason is hogging port 22 for its own ssh and won't give it up. | 07:11 |
| hammommah | true that, i even setup remote management to random port just incase it uses 22 for this, but it didnt help | 07:12 |
| ThatOneRoadie | I had a router once that refused to give up port 80 | 07:13 |
| ThatOneRoadie | ever | 07:13 |
| ThatOneRoadie | it wouldn't port foward it because it was being used for the remote management page, and even after I changed the remote management page to 8080, it still refused to forward it. | 07:13 |
| ThatOneRoadie | that router went straight in the bin | 07:13 |
| hammommah | pretty crap to hog port 22 yet along 80 lol | 07:13 |
| SocialEvil | qin, no. they said they need the one with xx:xx:xx:xx:xx | 07:14 |
| qin | hammommah: did you test localhost:22 and localhost:2222 (if you sitting by the box) | 07:14 |

| SocialEvil | as you said.. its absurd | 07:19 |
| qin | change /etc/ssh/sshd_config to port 2222, reload ssh, and test on port 2222... | 07:19 |
| ThatOneRoadie | np hammommah :) always happy to help | 07:19 |
| Jordan_U | SocialEvil: The MAC address comes with the hardware, and hardware manufacturers are required to ensure that they are unique. | 07:19 |
| SocialEvil | Jordan_U is it possible the other person spoofed it ? | 07:20 |
| x5ives | Sorry, got disconnected before, not sure if you replied to my message. In lubuntu on launching Synaptic Package Manager I get errors: http://pastebin.com/HPqZ8zv8, this happened after reloading package info. | 07:21 |
| ThatOneRoadie | qin: worth noting, the entire 127.0.0.0/8 block is loopback. Great job ARIN for dumping 16 million ip addresses into loopback | 07:21 |
| qin | ThatOneRoadie: haha, just curious, that's wrong with his ssh... | 07:22 |
| === zz_Karbowiak is now known as Karbowiak | ||
| Jordan_U | SocialEvil: Yes, especially if all of their customers really are on the same network segment and can just do an ARP request on to find the MAC address that corresponds to any ip. If that really is what's happening though, then make sure that your mother never gets a Windows machine and never allows friends to connect to her internet connection (which will already be hard). Or have her buy a router. | 07:23 |
| hammommah | qin, done that and it works fine :) ty for help | 07:23 |
| x5ives | I'll check in #lubuntu. | 07:24 |
| hammommah | qin, I was trying to find out why 22 does not work, ut i'll just stick with 2222 | 07:24 |
| Jordan_U | SocialEvil: But really, an ISP having all their customers, including ones from other cities, on the same network segment with no router between their computer and this segment is just absurd. I'm not sure it's even possible, but if it is then your mom's machine is basically in a DMZ, and with a hostile local network to boot. | 07:25 |
| verchan | Jordan_U: that's how all cable internet used to be | 07:25 |
| qin | SocialEvil: Who is you | 07:25 |
| verchan | but that was like ~10 years ago | 07:26 |
| qin | SocialEvil: Who is your network provider? | 07:26 |
| SocialEvil | Jordan_U the new isp is satelite tv with internet .. i dont have any idea how are they installing the net | 07:26 |
| Jordan_U | verchan: I was still on dialup 10 years ago :) | 07:27 |
| SocialEvil | qin bulsat.com but i dont know if their site have language support.. | 07:27 |
| Jordan_U | SocialEvil: Tell your mom to buy a router, ditch this ISP, or both. You don't want her machine publicly accessible like that. | 07:28 |
| levolent | hi can someone please help me diagnose an issue with my system? | 07:29 |
| ThatOneRoadie | !help | levolent | 07:29 |
| ubottu | levolent: 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 | 07:29 |
| verchan | Jordan_U: LOL! | 07:29 |
| verchan | my machine is publicly accessible like that | 07:29 |
| x5ives | #lubuntu is very quiet, can anyone here help me? | 07:29 |
| verchan | but i run ubuntu | 07:29 |
| verchan | so it's cool | 07:29 |
| levolent | I have twice now got the wifi working only to have everything revert after shutdown... how do you make stuff STICK and not vanish like this? | 07:29 |
| Jordan_U | SocialEvil: Buying a router should also solve the MAC address collision issue, incidentally. | 07:29 |
| SocialEvil | Jordan_U i see. | 07:30 |
| levolent | my goal is to take this laptop on the road someday and i dont want to end up with no wifi somewhere | 07:30 |
| x5ives | Or at least redirect me? | 07:30 |
| ThatOneRoadie | levolent: adapter configurations are stored in /etc/network/interfaces | 07:30 |
| levolent | any idea why my settings aren't sticking after reboot? | 07:31 |
| levolent | I'm a windows user so im used to driver changes being written to the hard drive and not getting reverted/erased until commanded to do so | 07:31 |
| dr_willis | my wifi settings are rembered here.. | 07:31 |
| ThatOneRoadie | same here | 07:32 |
| dr_willis | levolent: double check your users home, make sure theres no config files accidently owned by root | 07:32 |
| TakeItEZ | and here | 07:32 |
| levolent | its not a wifi setting persay | 07:32 |
| levolent | im not talking about saving SSID passwords | 07:32 |
| levolent | I'm talking about I reboot and then I have NO SSID shown like no wifi adapter at all | 07:32 |
| TakeItEZ | levolent: _what_ settings are being "reverted" exactly? what did you do, what do you need to do again? | 07:32 |
| levolent | it reverts to before i did a jillion firmware related things to get wifi going | 07:33 |
| x5ives | Maybe you wanted my paste on http://paste.ubuntu.com/5597704/. | 07:33 |
| dr_willis | levolent: this is a normal install? a wubi install? a live persistnat install? | 07:34 |
| levolent | ubuntu 12.04 updated to .10 | 07:34 |
| levolent | dell inspiron 1721 with broadcom b43 card | 07:34 |

| dr_willis | so basically you are saying after a reboot. the broadcomn card fails to work untill you do 'somthing' ? | 07:35 |
| starbuck | hi, i have a problem, avery now and then thw whole desktop freezes, the mouse is still moving, the cpu load is normal, but the whole crappy unity desktop is not responding anymore... how can i fix this? i always have to logout with CTRL+ALT+del and login again, then it will work for another while, could be hours, could be days | 07:35 |
| levolent | give me a moment and ill upload my command history to pastebin | 07:35 |
| x5ives | Did you install it using the Wubi installer or from a disk? | 07:35 |
| levolent | is there an easy way to dump logs from terminal? otherwise i gotta hit up arrow and highlight rightclickcopy each time | 07:35 |
| x5ives | @levolent | 07:35 |

| dr_willis | bash fundamentals | 07:36 |
| x5ives | Can anyone give me any info on my Synaptic errors? | 07:36 |
| TakeItEZ | don't paste your full history, just the relevant parts | 07:36 |
| nugroho | JPL749250 | 07:36 |
| nugroho | APB800779 | 07:36 |
| levolent | its a fresh install mostly so only 50 lines | 07:36 |
| levolent | i can highlight the things from this last session? | 07:37 |
| levolent | usually better to paste too much than not enough | 07:37 |
| x5ives | Test: are my messages even getting received? | 07:37 |
| x5ives | Hello? | 07:37 |
| TakeItEZ | x5ives: they are | 07:38 |
| nugroho | ubuntu linux is soo great work with any device or computer | 07:38 |
| x5ives | Oh, well, then can anyone help or redirect me? In lubuntu on launching Synaptic Package Manager I get errors: http://paste.ubuntu.com/5597704/, this happened after reloading package info. If it helps I just installed lubuntu without an internet connection. | 07:39 |
| levolent | k i dont see a highlight option so just know that lines 62-71 successfully got the wifi going until power loss. The rest were from over a week prior but did include another guy logging in and getting the same results... wifi worked until power loss. | 07:39 |
| levolent | http://pastebin.com/RDA3TRcu | 07:39 |
| levolent | line 62-71 most important | 07:40 |
| levolent | or 62-73 if you go by pastebins numbering | 07:40 |
| TakeItEZ | levolent: blacklist those modules shown in the "modprobe -r ..." line, add "b43" to /etc/modules | 07:41 |
| TakeItEZ | !blacklist | 07:41 |
| ubottu | To blacklist a module, edit /etc/modprobe.d/my_blacklist.conf and add « blacklist <modulename> » to the end of that list - To explicitly load modules in a specific order, list them in /etc/initramfs-tools/modules and type « sudo update-initramfs -u » | 07:41 |
| levolent | k that looks a little hard but i can probably do it give me a few | 07:42 |
| Addle | x5ives: I believe you'll have to remove the files that are broken | 07:42 |
| Addle | x5ives: sudo rm /var/lib/apt/lists/* -vf | 07:42 |
| Addle | x5ives: Then: sudo apt-get update | 07:42 |
| levolent | libreoffice writer good text editor for this? | 07:42 |
| Addle | x5ives: Or move them somewhere if you want to play it safe. | 07:42 |
| TakeItEZ | levolent: sudo nano /etc/modprobe.d/blacklist.conf | 07:43 |
| levolent | ? | 07:43 |
| levolent | i thought im supposed to be editing a file to add blacklist lines | 07:43 |
| TakeItEZ | levolent: yes. but not using a wordprocessor, just an editor | 07:43 |
| qin | levolent: nano is text editor | 07:43 |
| x5ives | Addle: too late. | 07:44 |
| levolent | and the sudo prefix just tells it i have SU access in case its a protected file? | 07:44 |
| Addle | x5ives: It's ok, the rm should be fine. :) | 07:44 |
| TakeItEZ | levolent: you need root-permission to alter that file, so oyu have to use sudo. correct | 07:45 |
| dr_willis | levolent: its a system file.. so you n eed sudo rights' | 07:45 |
| smOBudda | anyone here use proxmox? | 07:45 |
| levolent | k just a moment | 07:45 |
| levolent | k i think i did it i added the following lines to that file | 07:47 |
| levolent | blacklist b43 ssb wl brcmfmac brcmsmac bcma | 07:47 |
| levolent | blacklist b43 wl brcmfmac brcmsmac bcma | 07:47 |
| TakeItEZ | levolent: one line for one module, do not blacklist b43 | 07:48 |
| nugroho | linux ubuntu use the best filesystem like ext3 | 07:49 |
| bazhang | !ot | nugroho | 07:50 |
| ubottu | nugroho: #ubuntu is the Ubuntu support channel, for all Ubuntu-related support questions. Please use #ubuntu-offtopic for other topics (though our !guidelines apply there too). Thanks! | 07:50 |
| levolent | takeitez sorry im a little confused. theres 3 lines in my history with modprobe... i added 2 of them that i just told you about. Are you just making sure I don't also add a line that says "blacklist b43"? if so we're good as I did not do that | 07:50 |
| levolent | by the way the reason for those 2 lines is the first i was told then it gave error. when i told helper of error he had me remove SSB then it worked. | 07:51 |
| TakeItEZ | levolent: you have to add 5 lines: blacklist ssb, blacklist wl, blackist brcmfmac,blacklist brcmsmac,blacklist bcma | 07:51 |
| levolent | k got it | 07:51 |
| nugroho | linux only know EXT filesystem ussually ext2 or ext3 | 07:52 |
| bazhang | nugroho, please stop | 07:52 |
| dr_willis | nugroho: you really dont know what you are talking about.. and its just rambling.. please stop | 07:52 |
| levolent | alright so now save and close that right? then you said I need to open another file "/etc/modules" and add something there too ? | 07:52 |
| bazhang | nugroho, this is NOT The chat channel, and you are saying is false | 07:53 |
| TakeItEZ | levolent: just add "b43" to that file | 07:53 |
| levolent | writeout = save ? | 07:53 |
| levolent | or will it ask if i exit? | 07:53 |
| TakeItEZ | ctrl-x "yes" | 07:53 |
| user242432 | Using LXDE desktop Ubuntu 12.04. Audio is terrible on Fujitsu lifebook. Any ideas how to fix? Worked fine in Fedora 15. Should I upgrade to pulseaudio? If so, what's the pulse suite I should install ? | 07:54 |
| levolent | k done, shall i reboot? | 07:54 |
| TakeItEZ | levolent: try it | 07:55 |
| levolent | pull ethernet while it reboots and wifi will hopefully work? or is there more | 07:55 |
| levolent | if you meant try the wifi.. its not working | 07:56 |
| dr_willis | you shouldnet need to pull ethernet | 07:56 |
| dr_willis | user242432: i think lxde uses pulseaudio | 07:56 |
| levolent | anyways... ill just find out on my own.. brb | 07:56 |
| user242432 | dr_willis..not here. I used the mini net installer. Only alsa. What's the pulse suite so i can apt-get? | 07:57 |
| dr_willis | use the package manager and search. i dont memorize those things | 07:57 |
| dr_willis | or do a apt-get install xubuntu-desktop and it should pull it all in | 07:57 |
| nugroho | javanese know about - tapak willis - but ubuntu linux able to display the performance | 07:58 |
| bazhang | lubuntu-desktop I think you mean | 07:58 |
| levolent2 | k we're on wifi! thanks takeitez ... it remains to be seen if this undos itself in a few days as happened twice before though. Come to think of it this last time it was plugged in with full battery the whole time too, and an initial reboot didn't make it revert at first cause I was testing for that. | 08:00 |
| TakeItEZ | levolent: it won't "undo itself" until you tell it to do | 08:00 |
| levolent2 | well I broke the universe twice before I guess then | 08:00 |
| levolent2 | divided by zero n shit | 08:00 |
| dr_willis | time to brush up on linux basics i think.. | 08:01 |
| levolent2 | more like its time for linux distro writers to brush up on the basics of the world | 08:01 |
| levolent2 | why should I have to go through all this to get wifi on a common card, on a common laptop? | 08:01 |
| TakeItEZ | stop ranting | 08:01 |
| dr_willis | because the hardware makers are NOT supporting linux the way they should be... | 08:02 |
| levolent2 | i was merely responding to dr_willis and his little jibe at me like this is somehow my fault. | 08:02 |
| bazhang | levolent2, lets move on | 08:02 |
| levolent2 | yep... | 08:02 |
| bazhang | !guidelines > levolent2 | 08:02 |
| ubottu | levolent2, please see my private message | 08:02 |
| levolent2 | hopefully it doesn't revert like twice before without my input | 08:02 |
| * levolent2 crosses fingers | 08:02 | |
| dr_willis | we have to wonder what you did exactly befor, so we can answer that.. if you did not blacklist the modules in those files. it would last tillthe next reboot. | 08:03 |
| sergio | /join #cameronandwilding biscuits | 08:03 |
| levolent2 | manual SSID. no password change. Still sitting on top of the router and plugged in power? Must be time to stop the wifi from working at all! | 08:03 |
| === sergio is now known as Guest19870 | ||
| levolent2 | I guess I just needed to know some more linux basics to prevent those random changes while I wasn't even using the computer. | 08:05 |
| levolent2 | so takeitez would you mind explaining what we just did, and why it was necessary to prevent the firmware/driver from not working properly? | 08:06 |
| TakeItEZ | levolent2: did oyu blacklist the modules before? | 08:06 |
| levolent2 | no I wasn't asked to and the wifi funcctioned flawless until 2 days later | 08:06 |
| levolent2 | just tested it and did nothing else | 08:07 |
| TakeItEZ | you* | 08:07 |
| levolent2 | I'm actually just running this alongside some other hardware to help heat my room :) | 08:07 |
| levolent2 | on that note, are there any CPU burnin or benchmarking utiluties for linux? | 08:07 |
| bazhang | apt-cache search term levolent2 | 08:08 |
| levolent2 | looking for something like prime95 but not as intense or 3dmark | 08:08 |

| === Fuzzy is now known as Fuzai | ||
| Lartza | levolent2, mprime, linpack, systester | 08:09 |
| levolent2 | thanks bazhang bookmarking now | 08:09 |
| TakeItEZ | levolent2: so like dr_willis said, if oyu didn#t blacklist those modules before, the change you made work until next reboot. today we "told the system" not to use the (not working) modules it would use by default by blacklisting them | 08:09 |
| TakeItEZ | levolent2: then we told the system explicitly to load "b43" (by adding it to /etc/modules/) | 08:09 |
| TakeItEZ | levolent2: those changes will persist any reboot | 08:10 |
| levolent2 | is there anything I can do to make future installs of ubuntu function better? I am open to slipstreaming (windows term) the install disc with common wifi drivers and firmware. | 08:10 |
| Lartza | levolent2, And globs for GPU instead of 3dmark | 08:10 |
| bazhang | !remaster | levolent2 | 08:10 |
| ubottu | levolent2: Interested in remastering the Ubuntu !LiveCD or !Alternate installer? See: https://help.ubuntu.com/community/LiveCDCustomization and https://help.ubuntu.com/community/InstallCDCustomization - Or use tools such as http://uck.sourceforge.net/ or http://linux.dell.com/wiki/index.php/DRU_Disc_Remastering_Utility | 08:10 |
| levolent2 | thanks lartza I will probably just do a cpu test because this gpu is already fraglile. Will check out mprime first. | 08:11 |
| Lartza | :) | 08:11 |
| TakeItEZ | levolent2: hint for the future: buy supported hardware, check before buying | 08:11 |
| levolent2 | in my business I come into a lot of hardware so nothing will be pre-matched lke that. | 08:11 |
| levolent2 | just know that i will someday want linux on a random used laptop | 08:11 |
| === adellam_ is now known as adellam | ||
| TakeItEZ | levolent2: until hardware makers increase linux support, you never will be sure if your hardware will work | 08:13 |
| TakeItEZ | and they won't | 08:13 |
| levolent2 | i see. well at least good people like here are available to help. I definitely won't know the exact commands on my own completely just a general idea unless i run into another b43 | 08:14 |
| Shizyo16 | hello , Runtime error opening '/home/lelouch/VirtualBox VMs/XP/XP.vbox' for reading: -102 (File not found.). | 08:14 |
| TakeItEZ | "they" = the makers | 08:14 |
| Lartza | Shizyo16, Does the file /home/lelouch/VirtualBox VMs/XP/XP.vbox exist?... | 08:14 |
| levolent2 | it really does seem like something that could be automated and included but i guess thats all just over my head. | 08:14 |
| dr_willis | broadcom makes a large varity of chipsets. often called by the same/similer names.. | 08:15 |
| bazhang | Shizyo16, try #vbox as well | 08:15 |
| bazhang | levolent2, lets take the chit chat to appropriate channel Please | 08:15 |
| Shizyo16 | can't find it after update | 08:15 |
| levolent2 | where's good? | 08:15 |
| dr_willis | thats why theres like differnnt drivers for the 'same' chipset | 08:15 |
| bazhang | #ubuntu-offtopic #ubuntu-discuss | 08:15 |
| levolent2 | #ubuntuchat and #ubunturant are both empty :( anyone care to join? | 08:16 |
| bazhang | levolent2, since those are not real channels, no | 08:16 |
| levolent2 | someone joined me in 1 :) ok later and thanks again guys | 08:16 |
| Shizyo16 | Lartza: was working well until update can't find anything even the path | 08:18 |
| Shizyo16 | bazhang: Want work also | 08:18 |
| levolent2 | is there a way to access a repository with common apps? I tried sudo apt-get install mprime and not found. | 08:19 |
| dr_willis | !find mprime | 08:20 |
| MrDecent | I need help to fix my monodevelop environment. Firstly it worked perfect. Then one time when I tried to move a folder in my solution project, the IDE frooze and I forced to exit the process. After that some settings internally in Monodevlop is broken, which make me unable to edit folder names, add new files to project, commit and add files into GIT etc. How do I fix that? I tried to just do a reinstall, but that didnt work unfortun | 08:20 |
| MrDecent | atly. | 08:20 |
| ubottu | File mprime found in apcalc-common, auto-multiple-choice-common, auto-multiple-choice-doc, liblinbox-dev, paprass | 08:20 |
| Lartza | levolent2, There could also be a targz you can just extract and run on mprime/prime95 page | 08:20 |
| levolent2 | yea i haven't checked online yet thought if i could apt-get something it'd be faster | 08:21 |
| smOBudda | anyone framiliar with proxmox | 08:21 |
| TakeItEZ | levolent2:apt-cache search pattern to search for packages in the repos | 08:21 |
| MrDecent | Is there any option in apt/debian where I could ONLY purge a softwares settings and install new default ones, or just go back to clean install settings somehow? | 08:23 |
| bazhang | MrDecent, purge ppa? | 08:23 |
| MonkeyDust | MrDecent or look in ~/.config | 08:24 |
| MrDecent | bazhang: What you mean by purge ppa? Remove the entire repo? | 08:24 |
| levolent2 | thanks takeitez that seems to query a standard repo.. anyway to add a 3rd party repo for apt-get installing? | 08:24 |
| dr_willis | MrDecent: a few packages have their settings in a seperate package. but not a lot. | 08:24 |
| bazhang | !ppa-purge > MrDecent | 08:24 |
| ubottu | MrDecent, please see my private message | 08:24 |
| dr_willis | !ppa | levolent2 | 08:24 |
| ubottu | levolent2: A Personal Package Archive (PPA) can provide alternate software not normally available in the offical Ubuntu repositories - Looking for a PPA?

| MonkeyDust | MrDecent what program is it? | 08:25 |
| MrDecent | MonkeyDust: Thanks will do :) | 08:25 |
| franco | Secure boot / UEFI issue? - http://pastebin.com/6333yQZn | 08:25 |
| dr_willis | if its an app the user runs.. it would be in the users home.. unless you mean system wide configs.. you can check the pacckage details for what files it has where | 08:25 |
| MrDecent | MonkeyDust: Monodevelop | 08:25 |
| starbuck | does anybody have a problem connecting to facebook chat via pidgin? i cant see any contacts online but when i log in vie the webbrowser there are definetely contacts online | 08:26 |
| gigas | franco: try setting an admin password in the bios and disabling secure boot | 08:26 |
| MrDecent | dr_willis: How do I check package detailed settings? | 08:27 |
| dr_willis | MrDecent: i just use synaptic to see them normally | 08:27 |
| gigas | MrDecent: the aptitude command (not apt-get) gives more info as well | 08:28 |
| MrDecent | dr_willis: Alright :) Well I thought, when I did sudo apt-get install --reinstall monodevelop it should purge settings as well, before install it again. But it seems all config files was left behind anyway. I want to remove them. | 08:29 |
| dr_willis | MrDecent: if you are refering to settings in the USERS home.. it will NOT. | 08:29 |
| MrDecent | gigas: Then I need to install aptitude ... :P COuldnt dpkg get me info? :D | 08:29 |
| smOBudda | anyone use proxmox with ubuntu | 08:29 |
| gigas | MrDecent: "The primary and more user-friendly front-end for dpkg is aptitude(1)" | 08:30 |
| TakeItEZ | !aptitude | 08:30 |
| ubottu | aptitude is another terminal-based front-end to APT. You may encounter problems on multiarch installs (11.10 and higher) as aptitude cannot currently handle the same package with different architectures being installed at the same time. See http://pad.lv/831768 for more information. | 08:30 |
| MrDecent | I know what aptitude is, but I usually do not like it :P | 08:31 |
| gigas | it gives handy information sometimes | 08:31 |
| bazhang | gigas, there are issues with aptitiude, see above | 08:32 |
| gigas | i normally use it to find what repo a package is in, or to check installation status | 08:32 |
| bazhang | gigas, it may be primary in debain, it's NOT in ubuntu | 08:32 |
| gigas | aye, i got used to it in older releases of ubuntu | 08:33 |
| MrDecent | ANyway, I found ~/.config/Monodevelop3.0 but there is some strange application config files I cannot edit :S | 08:33 |
| TakeItEZ | gigas: it still works fine on 32bit, but has issues on 64bit/multiarch | 08:33 |

| nitin__ | hello everyone | 08:45 |
| nitin__ | how can we use whatsapp in ubuntu12.10 | 08:45 |
| nitin__ | ? | 08:46 |
| bazhang | nitin__, whats that | 08:46 |
| bazhang | !info whatsapp | 08:46 |
| ubottu | Package whatsapp does not exist in quantal | 08:46 |
| chenwj | bazhang: IM | 08:46 |
| gigas | nitin__: install an android emulator, most likely | 08:46 |
| chenwj | kind of like skype | 08:47 |
| nitin__ | gigas, i tried | 08:47 |
| nitin__ | but not successdul | 08:47 |
| TakeItEZ | nitin__: whatsapp needs a phone-number to work, bad luck on pc | 08:47 |
| gigas | nitin__: found a link: http://askubuntu.com/questions/211700/how-to-use-whatsapp-mobile-application-in-ubuntu-linux | 08:47 |
| nitin__ | gigas, wl check | 08:47 |
| talpur | TakeItEZ: not ho,e work, I am trying to run binary file with Intel Pin TOOL it is written in Manual that use like this I modify the tool but now couldn't undertand the how to make this shell script | 08:49 |
| chenwj | talpur: open your favor editor | 08:49 |
| nexussix | hi all | 08:50 |
| talpur | may be gedit | 08:50 |
| gigas | nitin__: looks like it might not be possible at the moment | 08:50 |
| chenwj | and with "#!/bin/sh" at the beginning | 08:50 |
| nexussix | so I am having an odd issue. My machines been hard locking up. I thought perhaps nvidia driver, so I disabled X from starting by default. | 08:50 |
| nexussix | rebooted, but the machine locked up again. This time, turning on the monitor revealed this output which I had to take a photo of: | 08:50 |
| chenwj | talpur: then write down your pin cmdline | 08:50 |
| nitin__ | gigas, yes | 08:50 |
| nexussix | http://imgur.com/wreNHys | 08:50 |
| nitin__ | there is no solution for that | 08:51 |
| nexussix | I've never seen this before! anyone got any ideas? | 08:51 |
| nitin__ | gigas, will it work in emulator | 08:51 |
| nitin__ | ? | 08:51 |
| gigas | nitin__: like TakeItEZ said, whatsapp needs a phone number. don't think it's possible to emulate | 08:52 |
| talpur | chenwj: what should I give the name & extension to this file .....One more thing should I write the full path for command | 08:55 |
| levolent2 | bazhang still around? | 08:55 |
| TakeItEZ | nitin__: there are some whatsapp-clients in development, but none of those work atm (afaik). and even if they will run, they won't allow dual-use, so you will be kicked from whatsapp on phone if you use a different client. but this is offtopic, you might ask mr google for more info | 08:55 |
| chenwj | talpur: xxx.sh would be fine | 08:56 |
| chenwj | no, just write down what you type on your terminal | 08:56 |
| levolent2 | just wondering why !equivalents doesn't refer to any CPU benchmark utilities or any terms containing the word "prime" | 08:56 |
| levolent2 | on the first link there are HDD and GPU benchmarking utilities at least, but I was looking for CPU | 08:56 |
| TakeItEZ | levolent2: there is something like phoronix-test-suite (or somethink like that) for benchmarking, idk f they have a repo | 08:57 |
| levolent2 | cool, "linux gaming" ? I didn't know there is such a thing! hah | 08:57 |
| nitin__ | TakeItEZ, there is a software bluestack to run android apps .. but it is only available for windows and mac | 08:58 |
| nitin__ | TakeItEZ, can we use that in linux.. ?? | 08:58 |
| levolent2 | nitin_ isn't there some irony there considering linux and android are built on some of the same GNU code? BSD or something | 08:58 |
| chenwj | wine + bluestack? | 08:58 |
| TakeItEZ | nitin__: id oubt it would help you. but i don#t have any idea about that | 08:58 |
| nitin__ | TakeItEZ, thanks | 08:59 |
| nitin__ | chenwj, not working | 09:00 |
| levolent2 | i would think if any OS can be emulated by linux it would be android since that is built on top of some linux code or similar code that linux is | 09:00 |
| talpur | chenwj: ok I have done, now I how I use it | 09:00 |
| levolent2 | am I hallucinating or isn't android built on BSD/linux | 09:01 |
| talpur | chenwj: your nick looks one of My teacher's son name | 09:01 |

| levolent2 | someone was asking about emultating android within linux so it is related | 09:02 |
| chenwj | talpur: chmod 644 xxx.sh should work | 09:02 |
| chenwj | talpur: then you can execute your shell script | 09:02 |
| nitin__ | how can we open the android SDK from teminal..?? | 09:03 |
| TakeItEZ | nitin__: path-to/sdk/tools/android | 09:05 |

| levolent2 | is there a low-system-intensive way to install a .deb file ? Default is to load the Ubuntu Software Center which is mega lag for me | 09:20 |
| MonkeyDust | levolent2 apt-get install in a terminal | 09:20 |
| chalist | how i can log keyboard activity with utf (persian and english) keymap? | 09:20 |
| gigas | gdebi or dpkg -i | 09:20 |
| levolent2 | 10 minutes and wheel still spinning! hahhahha just doubleclicked a .deb that i already had download... k | 09:20 |
| gigas | levolent2: gdebi seems to do better with dependencies | 09:21 |
| levolent2 | gigas its just a benchmark suite | 09:22 |
| levolent2 | takeitez i held super but dont see a task manager listed here. windows hotkeys obviously not working but would be Ctrl+Shift+ESC or Ctrl+Alt+Delete | 09:22 |
| levolent2 | monkeydust can you say why I should use apt-get instead of gigas suggestion? (im not clear on the syntax for that command anyway so it wouldn't be my first choice) | 09:24 |
| TakeItEZ | levolent2: you cannot use apt-get install ... to install a local .deb file | 09:25 |
| dr_willis | you dont use apt-get on a .deb you allready have downloaded | 09:25 |
| levolent2 | k | 09:25 |
| dr_willis | gdebi foo.deb is very handy - it will install any extra needed dependencies from the repositories. if they are in the repos | 09:25 |
| levolent2 | i've used apt-get a few times but never those others | 09:25 |
| gigas | levolent2: there's a gui version too, gdebi-gtk | 09:26 |
| TakeItEZ | levolent2: apt-get install foo to install stuff from repos, not local files | 09:26 |
| dr_willis | downloading a .deb by itself. is a bit of the exception in ubuntu, not the common practice | 09:26 |
| levolent2 | i just want to use phoronix benchmark suite and the .deb was listed for ubuntu/debian .. i guess i could see whats in the standard linux option? | 09:27 |
| levolent2 | thanks gigas this gdebi-gtk gui is WAY more light-weight than USC for my older laptop. unfortunately everything is greyed out and dont even see a file select ability | 09:30 |
| levolent2 | ahh they stashed it in the alt menu and didn't provide a button apparently | 09:30 |
| gigas | levolent2: you can change the default action for .deb files to open with gdebi-gtk | 09:32 |
| gigas | levolent2: when double-clicked | 09:32 |
| levolent2 | good idea | 09:32 |

| carlzulauf | Setting up btsync and trying to figure out a way to have it start on boot in ubuntu. Anyone have this working or can you point me to any examples of maybe writing a simple upstart script for a simple executable that runs in the background? | 09:41 |
| levolent2 | gigas still here? | 09:42 |
| carlzulauf | ideally it would be nice to just be able to treat btsync like any other service in ubuntu, like 'service mysql restart', 'service redis-server start' | 09:42 |
| gigas | levolent2: yep, what's up? | 09:42 |
| levolent2 | didn't see an option to set default so instead i "forget association" on the other 2... but somehow its still USC for double click | 09:42 |
| dr_willis | the upstart 'cookbook' site has some examples for upstart scripts | 09:42 |
| dr_willis | bbl | 09:42 |
| gigas | levolent2: you should be able to right click on the .deb file in the file manager, choose "open with" | 09:43 |
| levolent2 | yea i did that... found some more stuff in properties this is probably it | 09:43 |
| levolent2 | yep "set as default " is there | 09:43 |
| levolent2 | so it would appear linux doesn't associate icon with default program | 09:45 |
| levolent2 | interesting.... | 09:45 |
| learner | hey guys does anyone know here how to use bcrypt for dovecot? | 09:45 |
| levolent2 | so no way to see default prog at a glance. filetypes will always have that filetype icon | 09:45 |
| levolent2 | i always show filetype by defaul so basically redudancy there that doesn't need to be imo | 09:46 |
| levolent2 | why need icon to show filetype with the letters are there? | 09:47 |
| levolent2 | lol this phoronix suite you mentioned takeitez is showing my cpu as 0.8ghz... its 2.0 or 2.2 | 09:52 |
| Ben64 | it's probably 800mhz without load | 09:52 |
| TakeItEZ | levolent2: benchmarks are pointless, its just a tool a heard of | 09:53 |
| levolent2 | im not running it for comparing hardware (which they are actually great at doing given the right circumstances), but rather to help heat my room. :) | 09:53 |
| levolent2 | you would be amazed how much 3 laptops running benchmarks can raise the temp in a small room | 09:54 |
| Ben64 | run a few "dd if=/dev/zero of=/dev/null" and a few glxgears | 09:54 |
| levolent2 | thats pretty much my extent of use for linux... personal heaters and creating XBMC installer flash sticks | 09:55 |
| Ben64 | you should give it a shot some time, its good | 09:56 |
| TakeItEZ | !info stress | levolent2 if you want to continue wasting energy | 09:58 |
| ubottu | levolent2 if you want to continue wasting energy: stress (source: stress): A tool to impose load on and stress test a computer system. In component universe, is optional. Version 1.0.1-1build1 (quantal), package size 16 kB, installed size 75 kB | 09:58 |
| shady_ | hi i have a problem with the wifi connection | 09:58 |
| levolent2 | did you just write a utility? | 09:58 |
| levolent2 | well this laptop runs off a 65 or 90W power adapter... pretty sure a small space heater is hundreds of watts... not going to say this is more efficient but the difference cant be too much. This laptop will NEVER draw more than 65W or90W peak. it might be more total watts/hr tho | 10:00 |
| levolent2 | since theres no thermostat | 10:00 |
| Ben64 | a heater is much much more efficient | 10:00 |
| levolent2 | yea it draws way more peak power but uses it smartly | 10:01 |
| TakeItEZ | well, seems fullmoon isn't far away | 10:01 |
| levolent2 | i should get one of those wattage meter cords... im curious now. | 10:01 |
| Ben64 | TakeItEZ: you play tf2? | 10:01 |
| levolent2 | i want to know the watt/hr difference between idle and benchmarking | 10:01 |
| TakeItEZ | Ben64: i don't play any computergames | 10:01 |
| Ben64 | oh, thats how i saw its almost a full moon | 10:02 |
| levolent2 | that difference would probably be les than a space heater. but for that tomake sense this laptop would have to be one that stays on all the time already | 10:02 |
| levolent2 | and since it is ONLY on for heat at the moment and learning linux.. yea its for sure a waste | 10:02 |

| MonkeyDust | aneks tomorrow, if all goes as planned | 10:46 |
| aneks | oh awesome | 10:46 |
| Ben64 | Itachi: but 13.04 has newer versions, and is supported for 6 months longer than 12.10 | 10:46 |
| floaty1212 | anybody have an answer for Netflix requiring Silverlight update? | 10:46 |
| aneks | looking forward to testing it out | 10:46 |
| MonkeyDust | aneks i've been using it for two weeks now, it's really nice | 10:46 |
| esing | Itachi, Afaik upgrade will also upgrade to 13.04, but it does not remove packages which dependencies changed and are not needed anymore. So dist-upgrade is a cleaner upgrade | 10:47 |
| aneks | MonkeyDust, it's not the stable release, is it? | 10:47 |
| esing | Itachi, man apt-get | 10:47 |
| backboxyes | hey gays this is problem in my ubuntu for installiation of fern wifi | 10:48 |
| backboxyes | Lintian check results for /cdrom/Fern-Wifi-Cracker_1.6_all.deb: | 10:48 |
| backboxyes | E: Fern-Wifi-Cracker: package-not-lowercase | 10:48 |
| backboxyes | tell me about more | 10:48 |
| Ben64 | backboxyes: we still can't support a non-ubuntu distro here | 10:49 |
| Itachi | esing, I read that. My question is, If I do apt-get upgrade to 12.10, do I get new unity that is in 13.04? and new kernel that is in 13.04? | 10:49 |
| Ben64 | Itachi: no | 10:49 |
| backboxyes | i will upgrade but not working | 10:49 |
| MonkeyDust | aneks it's beta | 10:50 |
| Itachi | Ben64, but dist-upgrade will do, right? | 10:50 |
| Ben64 | no | 10:50 |
| MonkeyDust | Itachi guess you want do release-upgrade | 10:50 |
| Itachi | yes MonkeyDust, but without swiching off my computer | 10:50 |
| aneks | yeah I've tried the beta too, a few weeks ago, that's why I can't wait for the stable release | 10:50 |
| MonkeyDust | Itachi as it will get an newer kernel (3.8), you'll need to restart | 10:51 |
| backboxyes | i will upgrate but and next time it is not work | 10:51 |
| DJones | backboxyes: As you were told earlier, fern isn't an Ubuntu package, so it isn't supported here, you need to contact the developers support people | 10:51 |
| backboxyes | who is devalper tell me about | 10:52 |
| MonkeyDust | backboxyes backbox is a distro for security testing, so if you're skilled enough with security issues, you should not have to ask all these questions | 10:52 |
| MonkeyDust | to deal with* | 10:52 |
| DJones | backboxyes: We don't know who the developer is, its not part of Ubuntu | 10:52 |
| Itachi | MonkeyDust, would it be forced restart or i'll get option to restart later? | 10:52 |
| MonkeyDust | Itachi it asks to restart | 10:53 |
| esing | MonkeyDust, If 13.04 is stable then a dist-upgrade from 12.10 should upgrade to Ubuntu13.04 right? | 10:53 |
| MonkeyDust | esing no | 10:53 |
| Ben64 | dist-upgrade doesn't do what you think it does | 10:53 |
| MonkeyDust | esing 'do release-upgrade' would | 10:53 |
| esing | Good to know, thanks | 10:55 |
| esing | Is it recommendable to put 'do release-upgrade' also into a anacron 'cron.daily', so that once 13.04 or higher releases are stable that I get the upgrade as soon as possible? | 10:55 |
| MonkeyDust | esing release-upgrade is only every 6 months, not daily | 10:56 |
| MonkeyDust | esing i have cron-job for daily update-upgrade (in 13.04) | 10:57 |
| === Vampire0_ is now known as Vampire0 | ||
| esing | MonkeyDust, My daily update-upgrade (12.10) cron looks like this: sudo apt-get update;sudo apt-get -y dist-upgrade;sudo apt-get autoclean | 10:58 |
| Somelauw | I installed opencv following https://help.ubuntu.com/community/OpenCV . When doing pkg-config --libs opencv, nithing shows up. | 10:58 |
| Somelauw | esing: apt-get update is superfluous if you are doing apt-get dist-upgrade anyway. | 10:59 |
| Somelauw | oh, way nvm, I was confused with apt-get upgrade | 10:59 |
| MonkeyDust | esing looks good | 10:59 |
| esing | Somelauw, Oh, I didn't know that. So dist-upgrade implies apt-get update | 10:59 |
| esing | MonkeyDust, I could put the do-release-upgrade in cron.weekly, but I worry that putting it into cron.monthly is too great delay, assuming it would be released few days after the cron.month. | 11:00 |
| Somelauw | esing: no, nvm, I was confused | 11:00 |
| shafox | hi, how to upgrade php 5.3 to php 5.4 in ubuntu lucid | 11:01 |
| MonkeyDust | esing release-upgrade is only every six months, useless to do it every month | 11:01 |
| Ben64 | esing: you shouldn't need a cron, systems usually are set to auto update | 11:01 |
| esing | Good to know, thanks | 11:02 |
| Itachi | MonkeyDust, sorry, I am still confused. If I do an apt-get dist-upgrade, on 12.10 after release of 13.04, does my kernel gets upgraded to 3.8? | 11:03 |
| MonkeyDust | Itachi no | 11:03 |
| shafox | if i update the php version from 5.3 to 5.4 will that break mysql also ??? using this https://launchpad.net/~ondrej/+archive/php5/+packages | 11:04 |
| MonkeyDust | Itachi kernel 3.8 comes with 13.04, when you install it | 11:04 |
| Itachi | MonekyDust, so, I'll have to wait for the repository to be updated if I want it on 12.10 using upgrade method. right? | 11:05 |
| shafox | or rather this lucid https://launchpad.net/~ondrej/+archive/php5?field.series_filter=lucid | 11:05 |
| Itachi | MonkeyDust, so, I'll have to wait for the repository to be updated if I want it on 12.10 using upgrade method. right? | 11:06 |
| esing | Iam curious if a (few) programs break when I'd upgrade to 13.04 stable in a few days. I'll see | 11:06 |
| MonkeyDust | Itachi the 12.10 repo contains kernel 3.5, which will be patched with each upgrade, but not replaced by kernel 3.8 | 11:06 |
| MonkeyDust | Itachi kernel 3.8 will never be in the 12.10 repos | 11:07 |
| Ben64 | however, it will be in 12.04 | 11:07 |
| Itachi | MonkeyDust, now I understood. The kernel version never changes, but is patched. Am I right this time? | 11:07 |
| esing | Itachi, Why would you want to keep 12.10 instead of upgrading to 13.04? | 11:07 |
| MonkeyDust | Itachi yes | 11:07 |
| Ben64 | if you don't want to upgrade every 6 months, you should use the LTS version | 11:08 |
| MonkeyDust | Itachi it was confusing for me, too | 11:08 |
| esing | I worry that programs break more likely if one upgrades from one LTS to another LTS due of greater release cycles and more dependencies differences | 11:09 |
| MonkeyDust | esing on the contrary | 11:10 |
| Itachi | esing, I want to install ubuntu desktop on college labs. Requirements are to keep the the lab computers as updated as possible. I thought to make an uupdate && upgrade startup script at system startup. But now I think I'll have to install 13.04 manually on each computer | 11:10 |
| jpds | esing: Nothing to testing upgrades first? | 11:10 |
| Itachi | MonkeyDust, thanks for explaining me. | 11:11 |
| Ben64 | esing: the non-LTS releases are more experimental and prone to breakage than LTS | 11:11 |
| esing | Oh I see, so LTS is also safer concerning package breaks on upgrade | 11:12 |
| Ben64 | yeah, trade "newness" for stability | 11:12 |
| Ben64 | 5 years of support vs 1.5 years | 11:13 |
| === gugaua_ is now known as gugaua | ||
| MonkeyDust | Ben64 as of 13.04, non-LTS will be supported for only 9 months | 11:14 |
| Somelauw | I want to use opencv. I tried the tutorial on https://help.ubuntu.com/community/OpenCV . Unfortunately, I can't find the package by doing: pkg-config --libs opencv | 11:15 |
| MonkeyDust | Ben64 take a look http://www.theregister.co.uk/2013/03/24/ubuntu_reduces_support_times/ | 11:16 |
| Ben64 | MonkeyDust: ooh | 11:17 |
| Ben64 | MonkeyDust: makes sense actually, so people have to upgrade sooner if they want to keep security | 11:18 |
| pinguyuser | hello! | 11:26 |
| Aww | Hello :o | 11:27 |
| MonkeyDust | pinguyuser pinguy is not supported here, type /join #pinguyos | 11:28 |
| __CodingNinja | hello all | 11:29 |
| pinguyuser | :) | 11:29 |
| __CodingNinja | I'm assuming 13.04 will not have any new icons? | 11:30 |
| Somelauw | I want to use opencv. I tried the tutorial on https://help.ubuntu.com/community/OpenCV . Unfortunately, I can't find the package by doing: pkg-config --libs opencv | 11:33 |
| MonkeyDust | __CodingNinja some will change: show desktop, software center and others | 11:33 |
| __CodingNinja | hi MonkeyDust, shame they didn't do all of them | 11:34 |
| jrib | Somelauw: how did you install it? | 11:35 |
| ginololo | hello everybody | 11:35 |
| MonkeyDust | __CodingNinja it's easy to install a different set of icons, i'm using Mashup | 11:35 |
| __CodingNinja | hi ginololo! | 11:35 |
| jrib | Somelauw: ugh, ignore what that page says about "sudo su". You can just skip that step | 11:35 |
| __CodingNinja | yes, I've installed different icons and themes,however its the whole "out of box" experience of others | 11:36 |
| === rose is now known as Guest15955 | ||
| Somelauw | jrib: I did ignore sudo su | 11:37 |
| Somelauw | and in python, I can just do import cv and cv2 | 11:38 |
| jrib | Somelauw: how did you install it? | 11:38 |
| Somelauw | But I can't use opencv from C++, because I can't link to it. | 11:38 |
| Somelauw | jrib: I followed the instructions on https://help.ubuntu.com/community/OpenCV | 11:38 |
| Somelauw | Can I output the last 10 apt-get install commands somehow? | 11:38 |
| Ankhwatcher | Hey I'm trying to connect to a VPN with NetworkManager, but when I open "Editing VPN connection 1" every field is greyed out and I can't put any settings in. | 11:39 |
| Ankhwatcher | Anyone know why that would happen? | 11:39 |
| MonkeyDust | Somelauw try history | tail | 11:40 |
| Somelauw | jrib: sudo apt-get install libcv2.3 libcvaux2.3 libhighgui2.3 python-opencv opencv-doc libcv-dev libcvaux-dev libhighgui-dev | 11:40 |
| jrib | Somelauw: and now what are you trying to build and how? | 11:41 |
| Somelauw | jrib: Well, pkg-config --libs opencv should output the files I need to link with according to the opencv wiki. | 11:42 |
| jrib | Somelauw: ok | 11:43 |
| xunlei | quit | 11:43 |
| Somelauw | Also cmake doesn't work because when I do find_package( OpenCV REQUIRED ) | 11:43 |
| Somelauw | So I haven't found a way to compile a program using opencv. | 11:43 |
| jrib | Somelauw: apt-cache policy libopencv-dev returns? | 11:43 |
| Somelauw | jrib: libopencv-dev: | 11:44 |
| Somelauw | Installed: (none) | 11:45 |
| Somelauw | Candidate: 2.3.1-11 | 11:45 |
| jrib | Somelauw: you need this package | 11:45 |
| Somelauw | huh, okay, I'll do another apt-get libopencv-dev? Then I guess the instructions are incomplete | 11:46 |
| Somelauw | jrib: thanks, now it works | 11:47 |
| Somelauw | and cmake works as well now | 11:47 |
| Somelauw | makes me wonder why the package consists of so many parts that need to be installed separely | 11:47 |
| ubuntuaddicted | morning | 11:55 |
| levolent2 | hi | 11:55 |
| AtuM | I have 12.10 installed with 3.5.0-26-generix 64bit kernel installed... it boots up fine but then the first console becomes blocked.. i can however switch to the 2nd console and login.. any idea on what causes this? | 11:55 |
| levolent2 | anyone know how to reduce GPU usage in Ubuntu 12 ? I'm looking for an equivalent to disabling Aero. | 11:56 |
| ch1p53t | remove gui | 11:57 |
| ch1p53t | hahaha | 11:57 |
| NewWorld | lol | 11:57 |
| AtuM | levolent2, I believe a switch to another desktop might be the only cure.. or what ch1p53t | 11:57 |
| AtuM | said | 11:57 |
| levolent2 | I want a minimal gui no 3d or flashy stuff | 11:57 |
| levolent2 | you're saying this isn't able to be disabled like windows Aero can? | 11:57 |
| k1l_ | levolent2: ubuntu 12 is not specific enough | 11:58 |
| ch1p53t | yeah | 11:58 |
| levolent2 | 12.10 | 11:58 |
| k1l_ | levolent2: what does "lsb_release -r" tell you? | 11:58 |
| NewWorld | AtuM: How do you know it's blocked? Have you tried typing something and pressing enter? | 11:58 |
| AtuM | levolent2, install the server version.. it defaults to cli.. almost no flashy stuff there | 11:58 |
| AtuM | NewWorld, yeah.. I see no input, nothing happens if i try to login there | 11:59 |
| k1l_ | levolent2: did you take a look at Lxde (lubuntu-desktop) ? | 11:59 |
| ch1p53t | installing the server version is the best option | 12:00 |
| ch1p53t | lol | 12:00 |
| AtuM | NewWorld, sorry.. i see the input, but nothing happens after pressing enter.. it just goes to newline | 12:00 |
| ch1p53t | AtuM...have u tried installing bgp service in ubuntu? | 12:01 |
| k1l_ | you can boot into the tty with every ubuntu version. no need for server version for that | 12:01 |
| ch1p53t | k1l_, he wants a minimal gpu usage | 12:01 |
| ch1p53t | that's it | 12:01 |
| AtuM | ch1p53t, nope .. don't know what bgp is.. | 12:02 |
| Lucinco | hello all | 12:02 |
| ch1p53t | ok | 12:02 |
| levolent2 | kil_ lsb_release -r | 12:02 |
| levolent2 | Release:12.10 | 12:02 |
| ch1p53t | ur not into networking | 12:02 |
| AtuM | one more thing.. the last output is "Skipping profile /etc/apparmor.d/disable: usr.sbin.rsyslogd | 12:02 |
| k1l_ | levolent2: ok | 12:02 |
| k1l_ | !lubuntu | levolent2 | 12:03 |
| ubottu | levolent2: lubuntu is Ubuntu with LXDE instead of !GNOME as desktop environment, which makes it extremely lightweight. See https://wiki.ubuntu.com/Lubuntu - /join #lubuntu for lubuntu support. | 12:03 |
| levolent2 | if you're talking about installing another distro I am not interested. If that's the solution I'll deal with it. | 12:03 |
| levolent2 | its laggy but bearable | 12:03 |
| k1l_ | levolent2: no, you can install the GUI-Package | 12:03 |
| k1l_ | levolent2: the package name is: lubuntu-desktop . after that you can choose which desktop you want to boot on login screen | 12:04 |
| levolent2 | ok ill try it ty | 12:04 |
| levolent2 | its just a gui? not sure why it would need its own channel | 12:04 |
| AtuM | levolent2, channel? | 12:05 |
| levolent2 | he's suggesting i change the gui and that gui apparently has its own support channel? #lubuntu | 12:05 |
| k1l_ | levolent2: the programs behind that gui belong to the Lubuntu project. | 12:05 |
| ch1p53t | yeah | 12:06 |
| ch1p53t | gnome | 12:06 |
| ch1p53t | kde | 12:06 |
| AtuM | levolent2, oh I see.. well most users run with default.. I have no idea on how to help anyone with lxde since i don't use it.. i think that would be a good explanation.. | 12:06 |
| levolent2 | but if its not changing the os other than upper fluff layer whats the suport chan for ? | 12:06 |
| zamba | what is the best way of installing proprietary drivers on ubuntu these days? | 12:06 |
| zamba | we have a G86 nvidia card we want to get the prop. drivers for | 12:06 |
| k1l_ | levolent2: its a special support channel for that gui. | 12:07 |
| levolent2 | having its own channel implies its deeper than a skin change | 12:07 |
| zamba | in previous versions of ubuntu a dialog popped up telling me that i had drivers that could be installed, but not here? (12.04) | 12:07 |
| deav | zamba you are thinking of the additional drivers applet | 12:07 |
| k1l_ | levolent2: again: that packages get support by the community distribution Lubuntu | 12:07 |
| deav | zamba open up the system settings dialogue and select "Additional Drivers" | 12:07 |
| k1l_ | levolent2: have a read yourself if that information is not enough for you | 12:07 |
| AtuM | levolent2, things have to be integrated to work.. if you have lxde just as another gui some things might not work.. ubuntu makes that integration within lubuntu.. i think it's pretty nice to separate it | 12:07 |
| daze | ~ ❯ cat /etc/passwd |grep php | 12:08 |
| daze | php:x:996:33:php-fpm user:/srv/http:/bin/fase | 12:08 |
| daze | this user is showing in my lightdm user selection :/ | 12:08 |
| k0r1n | Hey Guys, when can i start downloading 13.04? :P | 12:08 |
| levolent2 | alright well do you think i should install it ? I'm not sure I want to make any modifications that will require I visit another channel for support. | 12:08 |
| jrib | daze: because his user id is < 1000 iirc | 12:08 |
| k1l_ | k0r1n: when its released. or you go with the testing version | 12:08 |
| zamba | deav: aight, thanks | 12:08 |
| deav | k0r1n http://releases.ubuntu.com/13.04/ | 12:09 |
| daze | jrib: as I understand it, users with id < 1000 should not be visible (they're considered system users | 12:09 |
| levolent2 | if I have issues that means I go to 68 person channel instead of 1,684 | 12:09 |
| jrib | daze: erm, yes you are right | 12:09 |
| AtuM | How can i find out what's causing my system to "block" tty1 - there's no login screen after bootup. i can type but i can login only by accessing tty2 | 12:09 |
| k0r1n | k1l_: no no I want stable i've seen it should release tomorrow... but nothing definite yet . ? | 12:09 |
| k1l_ | k0r1n: then wait for tomorrow! | 12:09 |
| AtuM | or any other tty other than tty1 | 12:09 |
| k0r1n | k1l_: Can you blame a man for being anxious? Little bit of conformation would be nice :P | 12:10 |
| ch1p53t | yeah | 12:10 |
| k0r1n | but thnx anyway :p | 12:10 |
| ch1p53t | thanks | 12:10 |
| levolent2 | ok let me ask another way: If I have problems after installing lubuntu that aren't related to skin/gui can I come here for help? | 12:10 |
| deav | levolent2 it's better to have 68 people that know what they're doing than 1000 that don't know what they're doing. There's seperate channels so people can specialise and focus on their areas of specialisation. | 12:10 |
| k1l_ | k0r1n: just wait for the release or try the testing ones if you re that impatient | 12:10 |
| deav | do you have a problem levolent2? | 12:11 |
| jrib | daze: pastebin your /etc/lightdm/user.conf (actually you see the default is 500 and above are shown) | 12:11 |
| AtuM | How can i find out what's causing my system to "block" tty1 on ubuntu server 12.10- there's no login screen after bootup. i can type but i can login only by accessing some other tty | 12:11 |
| k1l_ | levolent2: if you are that frightened stay with what you are. i think you need to make more experience with ubuntu/linux first | 12:11 |
| levolent2 | kil_ atum deav If I have problems after installing lubuntu that aren't related to skin/gui can I come here for help? | 12:11 |
| AtuM | going to ubuntu-server.. sorry guys | 12:12 |
| deav | sure levolent2 | 12:12 |
| daze | jrib: http://p.defau.lt/?rRwxhyzcoH1l9qInUcfoUQ | 12:12 |
| ch1p53t | yeah | 12:12 |
| daze | that's what's strange about it - it should definitely not be visible | 12:12 |
| ch1p53t | server version | 12:12 |
| k0r1n | btw lubuntu.. easy to install and easy to use, just a lot faster :P | 12:12 |
| ch1p53t | is better... | 12:12 |
| jrib | daze: did you change that yourself? | 12:12 |
| daze | jrib: as far as I remember, no. This is Unity on Arch Linux :) | 12:12 |
| k1l_ | daze: shouldnt it say /bin/false instead of /bin/fase | 12:12 |
| daze | k1l_: :D | 12:13 |
| jrib | daze: wrong channel :/ | 12:13 |
| daze | thanks! | 12:13 |
| k1l_ | daze: and for that you better ask the arch guys. | 12:13 |
| daze | ok, changed /bin/fase to /bin/false and everything's ok | 12:14 |
| daze | my blindness... :] | 12:14 |
| daze | as for the arch guys, they're not supporting unity | 12:14 |
| jrib | daze: this is a lightdm issue | 12:14 |
| jrib | (on an arch install) | 12:15 |
| daze | jrib: no, this was an issue of my inattentiveness | 12:15 |
| daze | I created the php user by hand when configuring nginx and set the shell to /bin/fase (notice the lack of L) :) | 12:15 |
| daze | set it to /bin/false now and everything's good | 12:15 |
| jrib | daze: 1) you should ask for support in #archlinux if you are using arch. This way you get better support. 2) even if the user didn't have /bin/false as a shell minimum-uid should prevent him from being shown. | 12:16 |
| daze | ah, well, then there might be a bug with not respecting the minimum-uid | 12:16 |
| daze | #arclinux despises unity :D | 12:17 |
| jrib | let's move on | 12:17 |
| daze | yeah | 12:17 |
| daze | thanks for the help ;] | 12:17 |

| x5ives | Is there a command to list a package's download size? | 12:44 |
| gmg85 | 13.04 tommorow!Or i could just get the daily build...any chance there will be any changes between now and tomorrow? | 12:44 |
| jrib | gmg85: chance is nonzero if that's what you are asking | 12:45 |
| akhilesh | i tried to update my Ubuntu,but unfortunately i clicked cancel button,and Boom!! all gone,now Ubuntu update manager saying me to download all packages!please help? | 12:45 |
| gmg85 | jrib, ok...let me just wait | 12:45 |
| cfhowlett | gmg85, it ain't final till it's final. I recall at least one version that Shuttleworth delayed at the 11th hour ... | 12:45 |
| sam113101 | when's ubuntu 13.04 coming out? | 12:45 |
| cfhowlett | sam113101, soon. | 12:45 |
| sam113101 | cfhowlett: is it tomorrow? | 12:46 |
| gmg85 | sam113101, tommorow | 12:46 |
| cfhowlett | akhilesh, go to terminal, run sudo apt-get update | 12:46 |
| gmg85 | 25th april 2013 says the release schedule | 12:46 |
| cfhowlett | akhilesh, then sudo apt-get upgrade | 12:46 |
| sam113101 | is it better to reinstall ubuntu or to upgrade from ubuntu itself? | 12:47 |
| akhilesh | cfhowlett:this will fix it? | 12:47 |
| gmg85 | is it true that 13.04 has the alx ethernet driver bundled in its kernel? | 12:47 |
| LjL | x5ives: apt-cache show packagename will include its size | 12:47 |
| DJones | !13.04 | gmg85 | 12:47 |
| ubottu | gmg85: Ubuntu 13.04 (Raring Ringtail) will be the 18th release of Ubuntu, Discussion and support until final release in #ubuntu+1 | 12:47 |
| cfhowlett | akhilesh, that will reset your download list to tell you what you need and then upgrade will get the packages | 12:50 |
| usr13 | sam113101: Matter of opinion is the best you can hope for in the outcome of a question like that. One is about as good as the other on one hand, on the other one is more convenient or more accessable. | 12:52 |
| akhilesh | cfhowlett:ok,but what happens with the previously downloaded packages?do they available?and if i want to install that downloaded packages,what should i have to do? | 12:52 |
| usr13 | sam113101: If you have /home on a separate partition, you could do fresh install and leave /home partition as is, but backing up /home is a good idea anyway. It's up to you really. One drawback to network upgrade is the danger of loosing power or somehow interrupting the process, in which chase, re-install is usually the only recovery option. If you consider that, re-install is better. | 12:54 |
| cfhowlett | akhilesh, only the missing packages will be downloaded. update resets your list, upgrade will download and install the packages | 12:55 |
| x5ives | LjL: I see 'Installed-Size' and 'Size' is the later the Download-Size? | 12:55 |
| akhilesh | cfhowlett:ok!! | 12:56 |
| cfhowlett | akhilesh, good luck | 12:56 |
| akhilesh | cfhowlett:again? can i upgrade a particular package from terminal?\ | 12:56 |
| usr13 | sam113101: If you feel like interruption is unlikely, (which in most cases it is), and if you are interested in easy/convienience, network upgrade is a good option. | 12:58 |
| cfhowlett | akhilesh, of course. sudo apt-update the sudo apt-get install packagename | 12:58 |

| usr13 | johnflux__: Good info. Tnx agn | 13:04 |
| [tla] | MonkeyDust: nope but very few users so manually fixing - so long as i can get to the files - is doable | 13:04 |
| p0wn3d | So when is the big day for 13.04 ? | 13:08 |
| Rompoy | p0wn3d, tomorrow | 13:08 |
| x5ives | Never mind LjL, got an answer from #lubuntu. | 13:09 |
| p0wn3d | So far the reviews show 13.04 significantly faster than 12.04 | 13:09 |
| Myrtti | _o> LjL | 13:09 |
| Rompoy | p0wn3d, faster in what sense | 13:09 |
| p0wn3d | response times and loading apps | 13:10 |
| Rompoy | anyone knows why Ubuntu consumes double power watts than Windows? | 13:10 |
| Rompoy | maybe p0wn3d | 13:10 |
| Rompoy | sure | 13:10 |
| MonkeyDust | p0wn3d this line in /etc/fstab speeds up your system, it moves temp files to RAM tmpfs /tmp tmpfs defaults,noexec,nosuid 0 0 | 13:11 |

| x5ives | Is there a command for listing a package and all it's dependencies' total download size? | 13:20 |
| x5ives | Without individually: apt-cache --no-all-versions show packagename |grep ^Size: -ing each one. | 13:22 |
| MonkeyDust | x5ives try apt-cache show [package] | 13:23 |
| p0wn3d | If I download the 13.04 daily build will it be the same as the one released tomorrow? | 13:23 |
| MonkeyDust | p0wn3d yes | 13:23 |
| p0wn3d | Love the ubuntu community :) | 13:24 |
| Pici | No | 13:24 |
| cfhowlett | p0wn3d, dude. it's HOURS away from official release ... patience. | 13:24 |
| MonkeyDust | p0wn3d meaning: it upgrades to the release version | 13:24 |

| lmat | Ubuntu used to ship with gnome windows manager/desktop environment? | 13:28 |
| x5ives | MonkeyDust: This doesn't show what I'm asking. Sure it might list the package's download size, and its dependencies, but I'm asking for a command that lists the packages download size + all the packages dependencies download size's. | 13:28 |
| away | lmat, yes. | 13:28 |
| lmat | away: But now it comes with unity? | 13:28 |
| x5ives | Hopefully that made some sense. | 13:28 |
| away | lmat, since 11.04 iirc | 13:28 |
| lmat | away: But unity is gnome? | 13:28 |
| cfhowlett | lmat, unity is NOT gnome. if you want gnome download gnome ubuntu | 13:29 |
| away | it's a shell for the gnome environment | 13:29 |
| lmat | away: interesting. Thanks! | 13:29 |
| lmat | If I'm wanting to use the KDE, is there a reason to avoid kubuntu? | 13:30 |
| away | not really. if you want kde+ubuntu, install kubuntu instead of ubuntu+kde separately | 13:31 |
| lmat | It's ubuntu with KDE, right? Nothing silly? | 13:31 |
| cfhowlett | !kubuntu|lmat | 13:31 |
| ubottu | lmat: Kubuntu is the Ubuntu flavour using KDE Software and the KDE Plasma Workspaces. See http://kubuntu.org for more information - For support join #kubuntu - See also !kde | 13:31 |
| lmat | ubottu: ahh, thanks! | 13:31 |

| jhutchins_wk | Pods: Network boot means loading the OS over the network from a server set up to provide that service. I don't think it applies in your situation. | 14:18 |
| jhutchins_wk | Pods: It's probably giving you helpful error messages that tell you why it doesn't want to boot. | 14:18 |

| jhutchins_wk | Pods: I'm trying to remember, I think you can press escape when Ubuntu is starting up and view the startup messages. That would be helpful. If you told us what fsck command you used and what it did that might help us understand. | 14:25 |
| Pods | the disk check ones | 14:25 |

| wilee-nilee | Pods, Grub fixes if this is the problem are a fairly easy fix if you know what to do, however there are variables that are involved, such as dualboot scenarios UEFI setups...etc, so a exact answer on fixing is not really available without more info that a live media would help with. | 14:27 |

| Faultless-spirit | hello all | 15:53 |
| Faultless-spirit | is there anyone with SAMSUNG R522 laptop ? | 15:53 |
| genii-around | packy: You add GRUB_CMDLINE_LINUX="nomodeset" to /etc/default/grub and then sudo update-grub | 15:53 |
| Pods | wilee-nilee : So I am on my live media now | 15:54 |
| Faultless-spirit | is there anyone with SAMSUNG R522 laptop ? | 15:54 |
| wilee-nilee | packy, From the install not a live cd add nomodeset in sudo gedit /etc/default/grub before where you see nosplash | 15:55 |
| wilee-nilee | Pods, You would have to chroot from the live and use a terminal editor otherwise I believe in a chroot. | 15:56 |
| genii-around | wilee-nilee: We try not to recommend using sudo with gedit.... ( hence !gksu factoid) | 15:56 |
| wilee-nilee | genii-around, Oh yeah my mistake packy that would be gksudo gedit /etc/default/grub the update grub as suggested. | 15:58 |
| Pods | okay I decided to reinstall os here | 15:59 |
| packy | wilee-nilee do you mean GRUB_CMDLINE_LINUX_DEFAULT="nomodeset quiet splash" | 15:59 |
| packy | wilee-nilee or in a separate entry? | 15:59 |
| wilee-nilee | packy, GRUB_CMDLINE_LINUX_DEFAULT= is already there add nomodeset | 16:00 |
| wilee-nilee | packy, And be sure to always run sudo update-grub when ever editing that. | 16:01 |

| wilee-nilee | GeekDude, Not sure what you have done to grub to be honest but if it were me I would purge it and reload it you have used a hackneyed approach. | 17:04 |
| wilee-nilee | GeekDude, resolutions are changed here gksudo gedit /etc/default/grub then run a update-grub | 17:05 |
| billy_ | wilee-nilee: lspci - Ethernet controller: Atheros Communications Inc. Ar8161 gigabit etherent (rev 10) | 17:05 |
| kumpa | anyone using i3 here ? | 17:05 |
| GeekDude | wilee-nilee, It's working, I'm just concerned about the prompt I got while running the system updates. | 17:05 |
| billy_ | i found a linux driver that supposedly will work but i cant compile | 17:05 |
| billy_ | as i have no internet connection and no build-essentials | 17:06 |
| dhci | I have a webcam w/ microphone and I'm trying to record with it; I see the device listed with arecord -l can someone look at my paste.org entry for this? | 17:06 |
| wilee-nilee | billy_, You have a 32 bit set up? | 17:06 |
| billy_ | no its 64 bit | 17:06 |
| dhci | http://goo.gl/tFgmo | 17:06 |
| GeekDude | wilee-nilee, If I do purge and reload, (Why are all my problems grub related, in nearly every ubuntu install ¬_¬), how would I do it? | 17:07 |
| billy_ | http://askubuntu.com/questions/165192/how-do-i-install-drivers-for-the-atheros-ar8161-ethernet-controller | 17:08 |
| billy_ | i see this | 17:08 |
| billy_ | but its saying to install build-essential | 17:08 |
| billy_ | i have no internet | 17:08 |
| dhci | i think module snd-usb-audio is responsible perhaps it doesn't want to list the microphone input device, but rather just outputs (didn't even think a webcam would have audio output | 17:08 |
| billy_ | im wondering if i need to download all these build-essential packages manually | 17:08 |
| wilee-nilee | billy_, I see this fix, however I believe the quantal stack bricks a 64bit install, so be sure to check on this. http://askubuntu.com/questions/257852/ubuntu-12-04-not-recognizing-atheros-ar8161-gigabit-ethernet | 17:08 |

| maheanuu | IaOra Hello to all, I am showing "Pending" when I go to the print que, and cannot seem to get the printer to print, I am using Ubuntu 12.04.2 | 17:11 |
| wilee-nilee | GeekDude, This UEFI setup? | 17:11 |
| GeekDude | wilee-nilee, UEFI? | 17:12 |
| wilee-nilee | SkinnyV, You mignt try #ubuntu-server | 17:12 |
| wilee-nilee | !uefi | GeekDude | 17:12 |
| ubottu | GeekDude: UEFI is a specification that defines a software interface between an operating system and platform firmware, it is meant as a replacement for the BIOS. For information on how to set up and install Ubuntu and its derivatives on UEFI machines please read https://help.ubuntu.com/community/UEFI | 17:12 |

| GeekDude | wilee-nilee, I don't think I'm using UEFI. Should I go google how to purge and reinstall grub? | 17:13 |
| lmat | I have a small problem. | 17:13 |
| lmat | I am working on setting up multiple monitors on my desktop. | 17:13 |
| wilee-nilee | GeekDude, GeekDude, sudo apt-get purge grub grub-common grub-pc && sudo apt-get install grub-common grub-pc will purge and reload, when asked where grub goes it should be the MBR sdX of the ubuntu install's HD | 17:14 |
| lmat | (KDE) And I got 3 monitors working just fine without any voodoo. | 17:14 |
| lmat | I tried setting up four monitors, and two of the monitors stopped working. | 17:14 |
| lmat | Unfortunately, the settings window is on one of those monitors! What should I do to turn off some extra monitors so I can go about setting up the system again? | 17:14 |
| GeekDude | wilee-nilee, Okay. | 17:14 |
| wilee-nilee | GeekDude, YOU can copy and paste that whole command to the terminal. | 17:14 |
| GeekDude | wilee-nilee, Should I do this from a liveUSB? | 17:14 |
| wilee-nilee | GeekDude, No the desktop, a live cd you would need to chroot in and not use sudo. | 17:15 |
| GeekDude | okay | 17:15 |
| wilee-nilee | GeekDude, Be sure you are not UEFI, I think you would know it is a different install in general, this will not work in a uefi setup. | 17:16 |
| Gnea | !pulseaudio | 17:16 |
| ubottu | PulseAudio is a sound server intended as a drop-in replacement for !ESD - See https://wiki.ubuntu.com/PulseAudio for information and installation instructions | 17:16 |
| lmat | aww away you can help? | 17:16 |
| meerkat | at what time is the release planned? | 17:17 |
| GeekDude | wilee-nilee, It uses the default BIOS as far as I know. It is a used computer, though. I reformatted the hard drive twice, but I don't know if that matters. | 17:18 |
| wilee-nilee | GeekDude, You are probably not uefi then, it is the newer safeboot by MS. | 17:18 |
| GeekDude | wilee-nilee, The second (currently disconnected) drive is XP | 17:19 |
| wilee-nilee | GeekDude, You can run sudo fdisk -l to confirm the ubuntu HD probably sda that is where grub goes when asked if it is sda, use the space key to tick it. | 17:20 |
| SkinnyV | Anybody could help me getting my web server operationnal? I'm very new to linux and everything is installed but when i try to connect to the webpage it ask for documentroot password | 17:20 |

| HerbertWest | wilee-nilee good news ty | 17:21 |
| wilee-nilee | np | 17:21 |
| GeekDude | wilee-nilee, /dev/sda or /dev/sda1? | 17:22 |
| GeekDude | both are options | 17:22 |
| wilee-nilee | maheanuu, Have you tried the printers to see if driver is available? | 17:22 |
| wilee-nilee | GeekDude, sda that is the mbr | 17:22 |
| GeekDude | wilee-nilee, What does "mbr" mean? "sda" is the main hard drive, and "sda1" is the ubuntu partition. | 17:23 |
| Aww | lmat, I'm here sorry just saw your message | 17:23 |
| maheanuu | wilee-nilee, the printer is shown installed and sometimes prints but at the moment it is showing a "Pending" notice in the print que and I cannot clear it or do not know how to clear it | 17:24 |
| wilee-nilee | GeekDude, master boot record, the first 512MB of the HD, that is where the bootloader goes in this context sda1 has the other related files already. | 17:24 |
| GeekDude | wilee-nilee, So just "/sda", no partition selected | 17:24 |
| wilee-nilee | maheanuu, do a reboot I have found the printer ti be problematic if you cancel a print in general. | 17:25 |
| asd123asdqwe | Hello, I have a problem. | 17:25 |
| wilee-nilee | GeekDude, No partition the partition has the files needed already, you are reloading the master boot record that boots the computer. | 17:25 |
| maheanuu | wilee-nilee, Ok, going to do that now, will return with results in a couple of mins | 17:26 |
| wilee-nilee | windows does the same thing here with printing | 17:26 |

| asd123asdqwe | Reboot didn't work. | 17:26 |
| wilee-nilee | asd123asdqwe, How did you burn it? | 17:27 |

| wilee-nilee | Gear_, If that version is available. | 18:46 |
| Gear_ | how do I check if it's available? | 18:46 |
| Gear_ | from this windows machine, the video wall is in another room | 18:47 |
| wilee-nilee | Gear_, Look in the ubuntu software center I guess to start with | 18:47 |
| wilee-nilee | Gear_, I suspect you will have to custom install it. | 18:47 |
| Gear_ | do you know how I could do that with linux mint? | 18:48 |
| wilee-nilee | !mint | Gear_ | 18:48 |
| ubottu | Gear_: Linux Mint is not a supported derivative of Ubuntu. Please seek support in #linuxmint-help on irc.spotchat.org | 18:48 |

| MonkeyDust | Gear_ maybe there's a different solution - what makes that version of VLC so special? | 19:04 |
| Gear_ | MonkeyDust: it's the last version which supported the "video wall" function | 19:05 |
| MartynKeigher | what verison of vlc u need??? | 19:05 |
| Gear_ | you could specify 2x2 or 2x3 or however many monitors and split the vidoe into that many windows with that aspect ratio | 19:05 |
| Gear_ | I just built a videowall but I can't use it now | 19:05 |

| soulflare3 | bjensen, Either 32-bit or 64-bit depending on your server | 20:03 |
| lmat | Why isn't there a mac-looking linux window manager? I'm thoroughly surprised! | 20:03 |
| lmat | I guess I know what I'll do for the next couple years ^_^ | 20:04 |
| bjensen | soulflare3: right. But can it really be that the image file only is on 700 mb? | 20:04 |
| soulflare3 | lmat, there are themes for gnome that look like macs | 20:04 |
| vlt | burfl: What did you expect? | 20:04 |
| lmat | Let it be known that I don't like Mac for anything. I don't even like the way it looks. I just want the people on my team to think I have a mac... | 20:04 |
| lmat | soulflare3: yeah, that's what I'm doing now. | 20:04 |
| burfl | vlt: i expect it to run the "go install" command, which is the compiler for the Go programming language | 20:04 |
| soulflare3 | bjensen, yes, the image files for Ubuntu can be small, it's a base install. If you want other software you install it after | 20:05 |
| bjensen | When I make the bootable USB stick the installer wants me to mount the cd etc..but there isn't any.. | 20:05 |
| burfl | vlt: when i run "go install" alone, it fails because of permissions, but when I "sudo go install" it fails claiming there is no such command | 20:05 |
| vlt | burfl: Is golang installed? | 20:06 |
| burfl | vlt: it is, hence the permissions failure without sudo | 20:06 |

| ubottu | opasnoo: Ubuntu, like any other Linux distribution, has firewall capabilities built-in. The firewall is managed using the 'ufw' command - see https://help.ubuntu.com/community/UFW | An alternative to ufw is the 'iptables' command - See https://help.ubuntu.com/community/IptablesHowTo | GUI frontends such as Gufw (GNOME) and Guarddog (KDE from Lucid onwards) also exist. | 20:13 |

| burfl | soulflare3: i didn't use apt-get to install in the first place, i downloaded the tarball and extracted it into a directory, then manually exported it to my path | 20:14 |
| soulflare3 | you can just use it from the software sources, and it runs out of the box | 20:14 |

| Capprentice | opasnoo, you can install firewall builder, and firestarter. | 20:23 |
| guntbert | opasnoo: don't worry - first they need some sort of access - as long as you are careful what and from where you install and as long as you don't run everything as root you will be safe | 20:23 |
| thmzz | Hello, i have a quick question. I have 2 DNS servers, and have setup a PTR record to my server (it works). My server is behind NAT, with local ip address and trying to add a vhost on my BNC, but it get bind fail. How can i solve this problem so i get my hostname instead of ip? | 20:23 |
| Mathis | hello | 20:24 |
| Oddity | hi | 20:24 |
| Capprentice | opasnoo, you can check your open ports using "Umit". For better result visit : anonymitychecker.com | 20:24 |
| Mathis | in Ubuntu 12.04 is there a keyboard shortcut for opening a console? | 20:24 |
| snuggl | thmzz: you need to tell the computer it has that hostname, else it cannot bind to it | 20:24 |
| opasnoo | Capprentice: does ubuntu come whit Umit | 20:24 |
| thmzz | snuggl: so in /etc/hosts right ? | 20:25 |
| snuggl | thmzz: as it wont resolve to itself via DNS i guess /etc/hosts | 20:25 |
| opasnoo | Capprentice: no | 20:25 |
| Pici | !hostname | 20:25 |
| Capprentice | opasnoo, nope. Install from USC | 20:25 |
| ubottu | Use hostname <somehostname> to set the hostname, or to do it permanently: edit /etc/hosts to include BOTH the old and new hostname and then change /etc/hostname to the new one. WARNING! Make sure that your current hostname and /etc/hosts match, otherwise sudo may not work properly. | 20:25 |
| Capprentice | Mathis: ctrl+alt+t | 20:25 |
| thmzz | Mathis: Alt+F2 i think and write xterm | 20:25 |

| ubottu | Ubuntu 11.10 and higher use the !Unity desktop environment by default. To use GNOME Shell instead, install the "gnome-shell" package and investigate "gnome-tweak-tool".

| deadweasel | Dr_willis: What's weird is that X works fine, I boot into it, dual monitors extended display, but when I put my password it it blanks, then returns to the X password screen. over and over and over | 21:45 |
| deadweasel | Dr_willis: when I moved .Xauthiry and did startx, it when to an x server with all blue background and the mouse | 21:46 |
| Dr_willis | deadweasel, startx is not starting a full desktop. or else compiz/unity is only partially loading | 21:47 |
| Dr_willis | deadweasel, try a differnt desktop like 'lubuntu' to see if it work properly | 21:47 |
| deadweasel | i can get into the guest account fine Dr_willis | 21:47 |
| deadweasel | it works great, just my account is borked | 21:47 |
| ODBRIP | lol | 21:47 |

| Dr_willis | deadweasel, that points to it being a user setting issue.. clean out/move your old setting files to some backup dir | 21:48 |
| deadweasel | Dr_willis: Xorg sutff? I don't know what to move | 21:48 |
| Dr_willis | deadweasel, move most every config file in your home to some backup dir then.. you can always move it back | 21:49 |
| bjensen | I just installed 12.04 lts server edition and when I want to do apt-get install then prompts me to insert a carom..how do I make it just download it off a mirror? | 21:49 |
| Dr_willis | deadweasel, most likely the issue is with a file in .config | 21:49 |
| deadweasel | Dr_willis: so.... move anything .conf .config etc in home? | 21:50 |
| Dr_willis | deadweasel, thats one way to test to prove its a user setting issue | 21:50 |
| deadweasel | i'm sure it is | 21:50 |
| deadweasel | this is the second time it's ahppened. | 21:50 |

| Rolenun | attemptng to install Unbuntu (latest version) with install option 1. it is telling me I dont have enough hard drive space...on a 1TB drive...any suggestions? | 21:51 |
| deadweasel | Dr_willis: could you give me a hint as to how to do this via the CLI? | 21:52 |
| Dr_willis | Rolenun, how is your disk partioned now? whats on it | 21:52 |
| Dr_willis | deadweasel, i just use 'mc' as a file manaer in the cli normally | 21:53 |
| Dr_willis | somthing like 'mkdir backups' 'mv .config backups' | 21:53 |
| Rolenun | Dr_willis: it is all designated as ntfs. I just want to overwrite the drive | 21:53 |
| deadweasel | so everything in /home/user/*.config ? | 21:53 |
| deadweasel | or just xorg stuff? | 21:53 |
| Dr_willis | Rolenun, you want to delete everything? you can do that now. then restart the installer. | 21:53 |
| Dr_willis | deadweasel, what xorg stuff are you talking about> | 21:54 |
| Dr_willis | and the directory is .config | 21:54 |
| NewBieUbu | lsusb recognizes usb wireless device (1915:2234)----dmesg | tail (p54usb cannot load firmware isl3886usb -2), I've downloaded and placed firmware file on my desktop of my Ubuntu 11.10 called isl3886.arm, from the directions I'm suppose to place it in the lib/firmware/ directory {{now what do I do}}?? | 21:54 |
| deadweasel | Dr_willis: I don't know, Do I just move anything with a .config? | 21:54 |
| Dr_willis | Rolenun, use the disk manager tools (parted, fdisk, gparted) and delete all the partions leaveing everything unallocated, then you might need to reboot. and restart the installer. | 21:54 |
| mikerussel_ | ni hao guys, anyone use teamview? | 21:55 |
| deadweasel | Dr_willis: I did a 'sudo mv .config backups/' | 21:55 |
| Dr_willis | Rolenun, or you may want to manually partition. a / partition and a partition for home and swap - are common layouts | 21:55 |
| timothy | Can anyone help me with getting my files synced with ubuntu.......was a windows 7 os before hand.....used the windows installer from the website | 21:55 |
| Dr_willis | deadweasel, and is the .config dir in backups now? | 21:55 |
| deadweasel | nope | 21:55 |
| Dr_willis | deadweasel, you are using ls -a to look show hideen files? it may be worth installing mc so you got a nicer file manager | 21:56 |
| deadweasel | I don't seem to hve a .config dir... | 21:56 |
| Rolenun | Dr_willis: I'd love to, but the partition manager options arent available until after it tells me I dont have enough space. I am using the boot to cd option to change the partitions. thanks for the suggestion :) | 21:56 |
| deadweasel | will do | 21:56 |
| trism | NewBieUbu: you don't need to download individual firmware, that firmware is in linux-firmware-nonfree | 21:56 |
| deadweasel | Dr_willis: YES, I did move .config directory | 21:57 |
| deadweasel | it is moved | 21:57 |
| deadweasel | thanks for MC! | 21:57 |
| deadweasel | nice manager | 21:57 |
| deadweasel | so what is the command to start up the desktop | 21:57 |
| deadweasel | ? | 21:57 |
| deadweasel | i used startx back in the day for 10.04 | 21:57 |
| timothy | how do i get my windows files to sync with ubuntu? | 21:58 |
| Dr_willis | just start up lightdm | 21:58 |
| Dr_willis | stop using startx ;) | 21:58 |
| Dr_willis | timothy, clarify what you mean exactly. | 21:58 |
| bjensen | on a base install of ubuntu 12.04 server..how can I grab a file off the internet? It doesn't have ssh, ftp, curl, wget, lynx.. | 21:59 |
| timothy | i just downloaded ubuntu from the website, and it installed alongside windows. so when i started my computer, i went with ubuntu as my os, and now i dont have any of my documents or pictures or anything from windows | 21:59 |
| timothy | i can go onto my windows os, and everything is there, but on ubuntu, its like nothing is here | 22:00 |
| Dr_willis | timothy, what are you expecting to be where exactly? it is a differnt OS. | 22:00 |
| Slart | timothy: it usually offers to transfer documents and stuff when you install it.. or at least I think it used to do that | 22:00 |
| Dr_willis | timothy, your windows drive is mounted to /host/ i recall | 22:01 |

| deadweasel | Dr_willis: ok, new user made, do I just start lightdm and that user is there? | 22:07 |

| javier__ | is there another command or way to change the display size to 1850x1055+25+25 or something? the 1920x1080 resolution is what my tv needs, but the PC thinks its a 72 inch when it is not | 22:08 |
| javier__ | all of the borders and toolbars can't be seen and I can't shrink the display size on the tv | 22:09 |
| ubuntuaddicted | javier__, you need to fiddle with overscan. how are you connected to your tv and what size is it? | 22:10 |
| javier__ | so i am not sure what to do. I have down'oaded the 310.44 drivers and plan on running that in a moment | 22:10 |
| EvilEyeCorp | @junkNow You could try installing 13.04. I used that for my macbook and it worked wonderfully compared to 12 | 22:10 |
| javier__ | I am connected to the tv via hdmi and the tv is a 56 inch | 22:10 |
| ubuntuaddicted | javier__, could you post the output of your /var/log/Xorg.0.log file on pastebin and paste the link here please | 22:11 |
| javier__ | so can i run sudo -sh ./file.run in a terminal | 22:11 |
| ubuntuaddicted | javier__, i wouldn't change GFX drivers yet | 22:11 |
| javier__ | could you please remind how the pastebiin works again? | 22:11 |
| Dr_willis | javier__, i just use the nvidia-settings tool to tweak overscan. or tell the tv to not use overscan (not all tvs have that option) | 22:12 |
| ubuntuaddicted | javier__, open the file with a text editor /var/log/Xorg.0.log and copy its entire contents, then just paste that at pastebin and then copy the link from the url after you pasted your log, then paste that link here | 22:12 |
| zquad | hey guys. I am ubuntu 12.10 and gnome 3.6 my F keys are not working any suggestions? | 22:13 |
| Dr_willis | Pc dosent care if its a 52 in ot 72in. its all about the edid info the monitor sends back for the most part | 22:13 |
| Dr_willis | javier__, so the ONLY issue you are really having is overscan? | 22:14 |
| soulflare3 | zquad, do you mean the F1-F12 keys or are you talking about laptop function keys? | 22:14 |
| javier__ | yes, pretty much. I haven't installed any drivers as of now. I have only installed a clean 12.04 | 22:14 |
| javier__ | I want to try 12.10 but only after I figure out what to do on 12.04 | 22:15 |
| zquad | the F1 - F12 keys are not working | 22:15 |
| junkNown | I'm curious, has anyone had issues when updating with the internal sandy bridge gpu if you don't use it? | 22:15 |
| Dr_willis | i would go through your monitor/tv menus closely.. and double check that you cant just disable overscan.. thats what i did on my Samsung. | 22:15 |
| zquad | no wait my laptop F1 - F12 keys are working but the usb keyboard keys are not :( | 22:15 |
| ubuntuaddicted | javier__, oh, so you haven't even installed nvidia-current? | 22:16 |
| === davidcalle_ is now known as davidcalle | ||
| javier__ | i also have a samsung but there is no disable of the overscan. it is set to just scan | 22:17 |
| javier__ | and no i haven't installed any nvidia. It kept giving me problems so I was hoping for a walkthru | 22:17 |
| === Karbowiak is now known as zz_Karbowiak | ||
| soulflare3 | junKNown, opposite for me, at least on 12.10 - sandy bridge works but my nvidia doesn't. Hoping it is fixed tomorrow when I upgrade to 13.04 | 22:18 |
| Dr_willis | install drivers.. use nvidia-settings to tweak drivers... | 22:18 |
| Z` | hi people..! will libreoffice 4 ever hit 12.04 LTS? | 22:18 |
| javier__ | so just do a sudo apt-get nvidia-current? | 22:18 |
| Dr_willis | javier__, 12.10 might work better.. 13.04 might work better | 22:19 |
| Dr_willis | javier__, thats all i ever use for my (slightly older) nvidia cards | 22:19 |
| javier__ | ok..can i upgrade thru ubuntu somehow or do I have to download and install via wubi again? | 22:19 |
| javier__ | i was also reading that on 12.10 i had to install headers diffrently as well as change the kernel for the new driver | 22:20 |
| soulflare3 | javier__, you are able to perform a distribution upgrade from within Ubuntu | 22:20 |
| javier__ | is that applicable for 13.04 too? | 22:21 |
| Dr_willis | javier__, the package manager did all that for me in the past | 22:21 |
| javier__ | how do I upgrade to 13.04 from here? | 22:21 |
| Dr_willis | if this is a clean install. it might be faster to just get a 13.04 iso and do a clean install.. not upgrade | 22:21 |
| javier__ | ok. I am more inclined to use wubi though | 22:22 |
| soulflare3 | javier__, 13.04 comes out officially tomorrow | 22:22 |

| wilee-nilee | PigOnTheWings, The what does close it mean, it should not be still running. | 23:11 |
| wilee-nilee | THen* | 23:11 |
| PigOnTheWings | wilee-nilee, I set up xchat to minimize on close | 23:11 |
| wilee-nilee | PigOnTheWings, How? | 23:12 |
| PigOnTheWings | wilee-nilee, well, I did that on 12.04 now I cant do that. | 23:12 |
| PigOnTheWings | wilee-nilee, on 12.10 | 23:12 |
| wilee-nilee | PigOnTheWings, How did you set it to minimize on close, I use xchat and now hexchat I have never seen that option. | 23:14 |
| wilee-nilee | PigOnTheWings, YOu might try #xchat | 23:14 |
| Pascat | Hello! | 23:17 |
| ddssc | how long does this package upgrade usually last? | 23:18 |
| wilee-nilee | ddssc, In what context? | 23:19 |
| ddssc | as in apt-get upgrade | 23:19 |
| Pascat | I'm seeking to sell my old laptop with Ubuntu 12.10 LTS, is there a way to set it to a sort of 'no user setup' so the next time it boots it asks for someone's username/password? Sort of like pre-installed-zero config? | 23:19 |
| wilee-nilee | ddssc, DEpends on what gets upgraded, are you asking about a release upgrade? | 23:19 |
| wilee-nilee | !remastersys | Pascat | 23:20 |
| ddssc | well... I did sudo apt-get upgrade in console and now it's downloading everything but the kitchen sink :) | 23:20 |
| wilee-nilee | !remaster | 23:20 |
| ubottu | Interested in remastering the Ubuntu !LiveCD or !Alternate installer? See: https://help.ubuntu.com/community/LiveCDCustomization and https://help.ubuntu.com/community/InstallCDCustomization - Or use tools such as http://uck.sourceforge.net/ or http://linux.dell.com/wiki/index.php/DRU_Disc_Remastering_Utility | 23:20 |
| wilee-nilee | Pascat, ^^ | 23:20 |
| wilee-nilee | ddssc, This a fresh install, and if so what? | 23:21 |
| ddssc | wilee-nilee, does not compute | 23:22 |
| ddssc | wilee-nilee, nvidia 319 | 23:22 |
| wilee-nilee | ddssc, Really you don't know what a fresh install is? | 23:22 |
| ddssc | wilee-nilee, Im trying to locate my left mouse button | 23:23 |
| Pascat | its on the left of the right mouse button! | 23:23 |
| wilee-nilee | ddssc, You are not making sense. | 23:23 |
| ddssc | dammit should've known | 23:24 |
| lnxslck | after installing blueman, my wallpaper function stopped working, now i only have a white wallpaper. can someone help ? | 23:25 |
| ddssc | one thing I like about ubuntu tho, is that it actually shuts down when you tell it to | 23:25 |
| Slidey | any reports of people with failing bind9 servers today? | 23:26 |
| ddssc | OerHeks, so I installed the nvidia-319 pack like you said... now my unity is borked. can't even see the left side menu or any taskbar or icons... nice | 23:27 |
| ddssc | how do I restore my desktop? i got only blank desktop in unity. but right click menu works | 23:33 |
| wilee-nilee | Slidey, Have seen none here since being on all day, not really a place people might claim that though. | 23:33 |
| sabgenton | is 13.04 coming in the next 24 hrs? | 23:33 |
| sabgenton | Sory is it still schedualed? | 23:33 |
| fatloser | hello gents, i have a question i'm not sure is appropriate for this channel, but since i do use ubuntu on this system , perhaps its relevant. My question has to do with data recovery. I took a 500 gb disk which stored a copy of some data which is important to me (mostly pictures) and repartitioned it, installing ubuntu to it (a 100 gb partition) , yet i still have 400 gigs of empty unpartitioned space left. Now my other disk failed, | 23:33 |
| wilee-nilee | sabgenton, more or less probably | 23:33 |
| fatloser | So the only way i have to have a chance to recover some data is by recovering it from this disk which has been repurposed for almost one year now | 23:34 |
| sabgenton | wilee-nilee: thx | 23:34 |
| fatloser | i'm hoping that in those 400 gigs of unpartitioned space something is left. | 23:34 |
| fatloser | can anybody help me? | 23:34 |
| ddssc | fatloser, use some recovery tool | 23:35 |
| fatloser | i'm currently running dd to clone the disk to an image, but dont know whats next | 23:35 |
| fatloser | ddssc: can you suggest one for ubuntu? | 23:35 |
| Slidey | wilee-nilee clutching at straws really | 23:35 |
| ddssc | fatloser, nope. I can only suggest for win | 23:35 |
| Slidey | wilee-nilee cheers anyway | 23:35 |
| fatloser | hm. :( | 23:36 |
| wilee-nilee | fatloser, Testdisk? however your description is not very good. | 23:36 |
| ddssc | fatloser, plug your disk into a win machine and get this http://www.softpedia.com/get/System/Back-Up-and-Recovery/EASEUS-Data-Recovery-Wizard-Free-Edition.shtml | 23:37 |
| wilee-nilee | exact details time and use of what discs when how and where | 23:37 |
| fatloser | i wish i had a windows machine around.. | 23:37 |
| ddssc | well Im sure in the whole linux world you will find a data recovery tool... | 23:38 |
| ddssc | but then again, I wasn't able to find drivers for an nvidia card that work, so ymmv | 23:38 |
| wilee-nilee | fatloser, a fresh partition/hd wipe with no more use can be recovered at times | 23:38 |
| n-iCe | guys, any idea? thanks http://askubuntu.com/questions/270084/how-can-i-share-the-internet-connection-via-wi-fi-direct | 23:39 |
| fatloser | its not exactly fresh, as i said... http://tinypic.com/r/2uo3v9d/4 this is the current parition map, and the reiserfs parition is partially full with data | 23:39 |
| ddssc | maaan... why isn't there a start terminal option on right mouse click? or open in terminal or whatever... | 23:40 |
| fatloser | i'm hoping that the data i'm after lives in the unpartioned area, and is thus left intact | 23:41 |
| fatloser | but thats just me being optimist. | 23:41 |
| wilee-nilee | fatloser, You could try testdisk, but you will get unnamed data you will have to sift it if anything comes up at all. | 23:45 |
| fatloser | hm. since i'm after my pictures, wilee-nilee's suggestion of testdisk led me to photorec. i'll give that a spin, since it seems to ignore FS issues and concentrate on raw data on the medium | 23:45 |
| wilee-nilee | yeah photorec is it | 23:45 |
| fatloser | if this works i'm gonna be overjoyed. | 23:47 |
| fatloser | all of my lifetime's pictures - lost. | 23:47 |
| sybian | hi | 23:47 |
| sybian | i got some problems to play darmok with the default ubuntu player | 23:47 |
| fatloser | the irony is that the disk in question now is the OS disk of my backup server | 23:47 |
| sybian | it always crashes if picard said darmok | 23:48 |
| ddssc | has someone here managed to install nvidia 319.12 for optimus? | 23:52 |

| steckdosenleiste | is there a way to restrict what programs are allowed to access the internet? e.g. disable internet access in general, only allow it for a small specific set of programs. (Im not talking about port-based filtering) | 23:56 |
| rooisto47 | is there any easy to use software that let me put a logo on a video ? | 23:58 |
| ddssc | yup my system is positively fubared.... remind me to accept irc advice at face value in the future... | 23:59 |
| ddssc | now I can't even boot into ubuntu in safe mode lol | 23:59 |
