| gustav | OerHeks: Do you know how to use the new nVidia driver? It isn't actually new, but it doesn't need bumblebee. | 00:00 |
| === Guest20955 is now known as Termana | ||
| OerHeks | gustav, i do not, unfortunatly, i run nvidia GT430 | 00:00 |
| reduz | wilee-nilee, found people having success to different degrees on the forums, but nothing worked so far for me on anything they tried | 00:01 |

| reduz | so, so far, I just can't use ubuntu on the notebook.. despite working fine and regognizing all the hardware | 00:01 |
| OerHeks | gustav did you check out the #bumblebee channel here on #freenode? | 00:01 |
| wilee-nilee | reduz, Did you make a thread? | 00:01 |
| gustav | OerHeks: Nope. I might give up and try it later. | 00:01 |
| reduz | wilee-nilee, I'd do that, but at this point I don't want to try more stuff out as i don't want to screw up the windows partition like it happened before | 00:02 |
| gustav | OerHeks: I've been there before. | 00:02 |
| reduz | i was wondering, maybe 13.10 fixed uefi or something | 00:02 |
| reduz | er, 13.04 | 00:02 |
| wilee-nilee | reduz, There is only one user there that I would trust, they are a mod and you will see them in any uefi thread. | 00:02 |
| wilee-nilee | that's a hint | 00:03 |
| reduz | wilee-nilee, ok | 00:03 |
| reduz | wilee-nilee, thanks for the info! I can't beleive microsoft made it so difficult to install alternate operating systems | 00:04 |
| subman | I've added quite a few desktop environments to my Ubuntu 13.04 machine and now there are too many to be shown on the login screen and there is no scrolling to be able to see them. Is this a bug? | 00:04 |

| airtonix | SecretFire: you have to be sure it's a block device first | 00:18 |
| SecretFire | airtonix : It is a iphone | 00:18 |
| nezzario | subman: so it just has it's own pkg for upgrading? | 00:19 |
| airtonix | SecretFire: thats nice, but doesn't mean what you see in lsusb is a block device. | 00:19 |

| subcool | Ok- SO anyone. Im having issues with my ubuntu system. Its segmentfaulting nearly everything i have to use. THen. i was curious on why i cant "Stream" a movie from one of my computers to another using Samba. THird. Whats a great compression to use? im trying to compress useless pictures and videos. But- i dont see much gain from compressing them. | 00:34 |
| harris | i typed sudo apt-get install firmware-b43-installer and no error but wifi not showing up it worked with this code in 12.04 | 00:34 |
| harris | i typed sudo apt-get install firmware-b43-installer and no error but wifi not showing up it worked with this code in 12.04 | 00:36 |
| harris | and 12.10 | 00:36 |
| === ever is now known as ev3r | ||
| Fishscene | subcool: You aren't going to see much gain at all from compressing pictures and videos because they are already compressed and optimized for the file. A generic "zip" compression isn't going to help much. | 00:36 |
| harris | anyone | 00:36 |
| Fishscene | subcool: Have you tried re-installing Ubuntu from scratch? | 00:37 |
| Fishscene | With SAMBA, there is no "streaming" per-say. Are you saying that, when you access a media file on another computer (over SAMBA), that it will not play? Or it has buffer underruns? or..? | 00:38 |
| subcool | Fishscene, lol - no i havent trid to reinstall the system yet. lol - im saving that for last. | 00:38 |
| harris | please help me | 00:38 |
| subcool | Fishscene, yea, for samba. - nothing with buffer or underruns or anything. | 00:39 |
| Rolenun | Does anyone know when Citrix ICA Client will have the patch available? I know it's day 1 hehe, maybe in two weeks? | 00:39 |
| harris | please help me | 00:39 |
| Fishscene | harris: Unfortunately, with IRC, you have to be patient as people will randomly and voluntarily address/ignore your issue. Your best bet is to keep looking into it and ask various questions as you go along. | 00:39 |
| subcool | harris, you have the same issue i had? | 00:39 |
| Fishscene | Rolenun: Might want to ask Citrix about that. or a reseller. | 00:39 |
| harris | what is yours | 00:40 |
| harris | wilee-nilee, please please please help me | 00:40 |
| Rolenun | Fishscene: I would, but the patched version is maintained thru the community help wiki. the official client from Citrix has always been borked :) | 00:40 |
| subcool | harris, my dmesg was going nuts with wifi issues.. so - i followed some guide .. i might still have | 00:40 |
| subcool | harris, but it said the same as yours. - Did you uninstall something? | 00:41 |
| harris | what dmesg | 00:41 |

| rubic | OOOH after checking the manpage I can see that devel release stands for development release. thanks anyway | 01:38 |
| jrib | Quix86: use PPAs at your own risk (but it should be ok to use what you linked and you should just keep the old kernel installed too so if something goes horribly wrong you can just pick the old one at the grub loading screen) | 01:38 |
| subcool | OerHeks, thanks.. nice app | 01:38 |
| jrib | subcool: I'm just trying to inform you about memory usage so that you don't waste your time | 01:38 |
| Quix86 | jrib will it create a new grub option for the different kernel when I update it, or will I have to enter some command on boot? | 01:39 |

| F41L | raptoros, they didn't likey jokes | 01:42 |
| bean | subcool, so, 497 of that 1256 that is being used is cached. That means that it is not really being used and is just stuff from recently open programs that will free itself up when needed. | 01:42 |

| Raptor05 | F41L: Too bad...they need a sense of humor | 01:43 |
| nevyn | s5fs: do you have a bluetooth hci in the laptop? | 01:43 |
| nevyn | intel 6235 is a wifi chipset. | 01:43 |
| jrib | Quix86: if they don't actually provide a repository, then sure just install the .deb as you said earlier. https://wiki.ubuntu.com/Kernel/MainlineBuilds might be more recent (or not) | 01:43 |
| s5fs | nevyn: bluetooth should be built-in, it worked under windows. | 01:44 |

| F41L | Ok, anywho.. the linuxmint guys are all miffed I cracked some jokes and don't welcome me anylonger. I'm having the strangest of issues with my network stuffage. Anyone happen to know what package the "network settings" entry on the cinnamon menu in linux mint is associated with? I need to purge and reinstall it >.< | 02:10 |
| KommaH | Hey everyone | 02:10 |
| Quix86 | f41l mint sucks, use ubuntu | 02:10 |
| Quix86 | I like xubuntu | 02:10 |
| hazardous | how can i install ia32-libs? | 02:10 |
| F41L | Unity sucks. | 02:10 |
| hazardous | The following packages have unmet dependencies: ia32-libs : Depends: ia32-libs-multiarch | 02:10 |
| Quix86 | yes unity does suck, use xubuntu or kubuntu | 02:10 |
| Quix86 | or use debian | 02:10 |
| F41L | and linux mint for all intents and purposes, IS ubuntu | 02:10 |
| hazardous | i am on 12.04lts | 02:10 |
| KommaH | Is there a way I can set KDE in Kubuntu to only display the desktop background, nothing else, when logging in as a user? | 02:11 |
| Quix86 | f41l but it breaks more often | 02:11 |
| F41L | quite possibly | 02:11 |
| F41L | But Cinnamon is the sexyness. | 02:11 |
| Quix86 | I prefer xfce, when I used mint it was alright but when you try changing things it just breaks more and more | 02:11 |
| Quix86 | I finally gave up and deleted the whole mess | 02:11 |
| F41L | I honestly think it was my fault when I treid to install fprintd and some custom drivers to drive my vf5011 | 02:12 |

| zgudino | and thats it | 02:14 |
| zgudino | brb | 02:14 |
| F41L | Quix86, debian uses dat old kernel. Unity sucks, Xubuntu is too bland, KDE panels drive me insane, gnome3 takes up too much screen realestate. Linux mint is quite delightful, and based on ubuntu just as much as ubuntu is based on Debian. Uses most of the same package repos, why can't we all get along and help me figger out mah network woes? :3 | 02:14 |
| Quix86 | Because mint breaks and I don't use it. If XFCE is bland then you require too much rice on your desktop for a healthy GUI diet | 02:15 |
| vivid | just to report, kernel panics in 3.8.0-19 with bcmwl and broken nvidia hdmi audio | 02:15 |
| Quix86 | Also gnome 3 is horrific | 02:16 |

| Quix86 | harris I donno then, maybe try installing acpi but I really doubt that'll make any difference | 02:30 |
| harris | anyone | 02:30 |
| Ziber | So, am I just to believe that unity + external monitors is just a bad idea? | 02:30 |
| F41L | ThatOneRoadie, I'm +b in #linuxmint-help, just FYI | 02:30 |
| F41L | Cause I made some wisecracks about elderberry | 02:30 |
| Quix86 | Ziber, I personally think unity is a bad idea in general, but that's me | 02:30 |
| SonikkuAmerica | F41L: You understand that the Spotchat channel is filled with humans, right? Have you tried Googling around? | 02:30 |
| VanessaE | SonikkuAmerica: I can't copy&paste from the affected machine right now, but if you need a specific bit of info, I can transcribe it over. | 02:31 |
| IdleOne | F41L: That is not our problem and does not mean you can get help here for Mint | 02:31 |
| Quix86 | I haven't tried multiple monitors in linux yet | 02:31 |
| ThatOneRoadie | ^ | 02:31 |
| Ziber | Quix86: I thought the same thing at first too, and honestly I've started to like it. | 02:31 |
| F41L | SonikkuAmerica, IRC is my last ditch effort. | 02:31 |
| F41L | I've spent 2 days googling. | 02:31 |
| Quix86 | I'm content with xfce when it's not destroying my sessions | 02:31 |
| SonikkuAmerica | VanessaE: OK, go over to paste.ubuntu.com and transcribe it word-for-word then... | 02:31 |
| VanessaE | eek | 02:31 |
| Ziber | I played with different WMs for a day or so, but came back to unity. Might have to play around again. | 02:31 |
| SonikkuAmerica | VanessaE: If we have to get drastic... :) but at the least I need the line that your camera is listed under. | 02:32 |
| F41L | IdleOne, so where can I apply for my donation refund, then? | 02:32 |
| ThatOneRoadie | Ha | 02:32 |
| F41L | :3 | 02:32 |
| SonikkuAmerica | lol | 02:32 |
| Quix86 | I can't remember if fedora had KDE or gnome3 by default... whatever it was, it was terrible. I looked at untity and it seems to be designed to use some sort of dock on the side | 02:32 |
| IdleOne | F41L: ask Canonical, your donation to them does not entitle you to any help from us, especially for an unsupported derivative. | 02:32 |
| F41L | Course not, I was kidding. | 02:33 |
| Quix86 | I'm very much used to using a top-taskbar layout | 02:33 |
| IdleOne | Well quit the kidding and stop wasting our time | 02:33 |
| VanessaE | SonikkuAmerica: it would be listed under lsusb, actually. It's a Creative Webcam Live! Notebook pro (041e:4051), which appears to use the gspca/zc3xx driver | 02:33 |
| SonikkuAmerica | F41L: Perhaps you should just switch to Ubuntu then. | 02:33 |
| SonikkuAmerica | VanessaE: Didn't know it was USB. Good catch :) | 02:33 |
| F41L | What really gets me giggling. | 02:34 |
| VanessaE | SonikkuAmerica: been using Linux for about 15 years now. Just can't figure this one out :-) | 02:34 |
| Ziber | Yes, Unity is dock-based. And I've gotten very used to that dock. | 02:34 |
| ThatOneRoadie | !ot | F41L | 02:34 |
| ubottu | F41L: #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! | 02:34 |
| ThatOneRoadie | !ot > F41L | 02:34 |
| SonikkuAmerica | VanessaE: We've all run into that stage. Give me a second... | 02:34 |
| Quix86 | Why do you guys keep spamming him the same messages? | 02:34 |
| ThatOneRoadie | Hammering the point across? | 02:35 |
| Quix86 | if he didn't listen to them the first time he's not going to the next 20 times | 02:35 |
| IdleOne | Move on please. We got people here who actually need help with ubuntu | 02:35 |
| Quix86 | I need to find my tab that had fstab info on it... | 02:35 |
| Quix86 | !fstab | 02:35 |
| ubottu | The /etc/fstab file indicates how drive partitions are to be used or otherwise integrated into the file system. See https://help.ubuntu.com/community/Fstab and http://www.tuxfiles.org/linuxhelp/fstab.html and !Partitions | 02:35 |
| ThatOneRoadie | Quix86: I think fedora used KDE by default | 02:35 |
| === dominic_ is now known as mdih | ||
| ThatOneRoadie | I know Core 4 did, and it was a nightmare | 02:36 |
| Quix86 | I want to say it was KDE, it was so awful that I removed fedora in about 15 min or so | 02:36 |
| enav1 | Hello, what is the image i need to download for a 64b intel cpu ????? | 02:36 |
| ThatOneRoadie | enav1 : wait one | 02:36 |
| enav1 | oh really ? | 02:36 |
| Quix86 | lol I used core 4 when it came out, actually. I tried linux back in 2004-5 ish and core 4 and mandrake were the only distros that came close to working | 02:36 |
| SonikkuAmerica | VanessaE: And now for your hardware? (This is why I need [ lspci ], if you don't know what your hardware is; I'll assume you're familiar with it) | 02:36 |
| Quix86 | I didn't like linux at the time and went back to windows | 02:36 |
| joshh99 | Hey everyone. I updated my server to 13.04 using do-release-upgrade and all the packages appeared to update. I've also checked lsb_release -a and it shows 13.04. However, whenever I log in to my server, I'm told that there's a new version available and 494 packages to update | 02:37 |
| ThatOneRoadie | enav1: http://ubuntu-releases.wallawalla.edu//raring/ubuntu-13.04-desktop-amd64.iso | 02:37 |
| SonikkuAmerica | enav1: The amd64 image works on Intel x86-64 and x64 processors. | 02:37 |
| enav1 | ok, i just was confused because it says AMD | 02:37 |
| SonikkuAmerica | enav1: The "amd64" termiage is a bit confusing though... | 02:37 |
| SonikkuAmerica | Yeah. | 02:37 |
| ThatOneRoadie | yeah, the amd64 package works on intel as well. i64 just sounds weird though :P | 02:38 |
| SonikkuAmerica | ThatOneRoadie: Exactly. The heck is i64. I know what i396 is... | 02:38 |
| Quix86 | do I need to use the UUID in fstab or can I use /dev/sda? | 02:38 |
| joshh99 | I updated my server to 13.04 using do-release-upgrade and all the packages appeared to update. I've also checked lsb_release -a and it shows 13.04. However, whenever I log in to my server, I'm told that there's a new version available and 494 packages to update. Anyone know what's going on | 02:38 |
| ThatOneRoadie | !patience | joshh99 | 02:38 |
| ubottu | joshh99: Don't feel ignored and repeat your question quickly; if nobody knows your answer, nobody will answer you. While you wait, try searching https://help.ubuntu.com/ or http://ubuntuforums.org/ or http://askubuntu.com/ | 02:38 |
| SonikkuAmerica | joshh99: Are you on the daily build? | 02:38 |
| dougbb | SonikkuAmerica: hysterical raisins ... dates back to when amd was the only 64 bit version, and various FOSS developers wanted to give intel a little tweak | 02:38 |
| SonikkuAmerica | dougbb: Hysterical raisins? lol | 02:39 |
| trism | joshh99: sometimes the update info gets stale in the motd, it'll probably resolve itself eventually | 02:39 |
| Quix86 | I asked this in debian I think, I think it counts here. If the i386 build isn't actually supported on i386 processors anymore, why isn't it called i486? | 02:39 |
| joshh99 | I shouldn't be on a daily build. I just upgraded like 20 minutes ago as per standard update procedures -- from 12.10 to 13.04 | 02:39 |
| SonikkuAmerica | Quix86: We got lazy. | 02:39 |
| Quix86 | I think there are some distros that refer to it as 'i686' | 02:39 |
| SonikkuAmerica | Quix86: And called it for all x86 hardware. | 02:40 |
| Quix86 | ...oh, is ubuntu supported on 68k by chance? | 02:40 |
| Quix86 | I was just digging through the debian hardware support list a few min ago but didn't remember to look... but I didn't see it either | 02:40 |
| Quix86 | I'd assume not | 02:41 |
| SonikkuAmerica | Quix86: That would be awesome; I'd flash my Palm Pilot with it... | 02:41 |
| JoseeAntonioR | hey guys, has anyone been having troubles with not being able to run unity in raring? I simply can't run it, says 'Xlib: extension "GLX" missing on display ":0"' | 02:41 |
| SonikkuAmerica | Quix86: It has a Motorola Dragonball 68k... but I'm getting a little !ot here. | 02:41 |
| Quix86 | I was thinking more mac hardware... I've spent too much time looking up old apple laptops, and ordered a G3 powerbook that I'm gonna have to figure out how to squeeze ubuntu or deb onto | 02:42 |
| Quix86 | Was it here or debian that I asked what bootloader is used for new world rom? | 02:42 |
| lemuel | exit | 02:42 |
| quijote_desert | quit | 02:43 |
| Quix86 | I want to say I read somewhere that they use a different loader than x86 | 02:43 |
| Quix86 | quijote_desert, "/quit" is what you want | 02:43 |
| enav1 | thanks for the help guys | 02:43 |
| quijote_desert | i'll try to write in the terminal but xchat get focus | 02:44 |
| quijote_desert | i made a mistake | 02:44 |
| SonikkuAmerica | Quix86: Maybe a PowerPC image then? | 02:44 |
| Iordanis | what mistake? | 02:44 |
| Quix86 | SonikkuAmerica, that's what the install would be, but I'm not sure what bootloader it's going to use | 02:44 |
| Quix86 | the laptop I'm getting will already have OS something on it... I think if it's OSX or newer I'll find out how to get 8.1 or 8.5 on there alongside linux | 02:45 |
| jordan__ | Is there a way of disabling unities global menu bar without removing the actual package? | 02:45 |
| Noskcaj | Quix86, PowerPC uses Yaboot | 02:45 |
| VanessaE | SonikkuAmerica: http://pastebin.ubuntu.com/5603174/ | 02:45 |
| VanessaE | sorry that took so long | 02:45 |
| jordan__ | Is there a way of disabling unities global menu bar without removing the actual package? | 02:45 |
| Quix86 | also what is in charge of shutting down programs when I click shutdown in the menu, is it my window manager or something in ubuntu? | 02:45 |
| Quix86 | thank you Noskcaj | 02:45 |
| VanessaE | had to get ssh up and running on the affected box. | 02:45 |
| jordan__ | oops said that twice, my bad | 02:46 |
| Senor | ? | 02:46 |
| Senor | my harddisk is 20G , then I mount it at / , but the disk check tool tell me there is 4G available for / ,why? | 02:46 |
| SonikkuAmerica | VanessaE: No problem. Do you have the proprietary AMD drivers installed? | 02:46 |
| Quix86 | senor is there a different partition for /home by chance? | 02:46 |
| VanessaE | SonikkuAmerica: yes. | 02:47 |
| Ziber | What's the command to upgrade to 13.04? | 02:47 |
| VanessaE | (the open source drivers are inadequate for that machine's normal use) | 02:47 |
| Ziber | from 12.04, that is? | 02:47 |
| Quix86 | lol | 02:47 |
| quijote_desert | exit | 02:47 |
| Senor | Quix86:no | 02:47 |
| VanessaE | Ziber: you have to go through the Update Manager. | 02:47 |
| VanessaE | or re-install from scratch | 02:47 |
| SonikkuAmerica | Ziber: There isn't - you have to go through 12.10 first... | 02:47 |
| Quix86 | senor what does gparted say? | 02:47 |
| SonikkuAmerica | VanessaE: Actually, yes there is? | 02:47 |
| SonikkuAmerica | VanessaE: It's called [ do-release-upgrade ]. | 02:48 |
| SonikkuAmerica | Ziber: ^ | 02:48 |
| VanessaE | SonikkuAmerica: oh yes, forgot about that | 02:48 |
| SonikkuAmerica | VanessaE: Is this 12.10 or 13.04? | 02:48 |
| ThatOneRoadie | Ziber: 12.10 is recommended if you're going to do-release-upgrade. see: https://help.ubuntu.com/community/RaringUpgrades | 02:48 |
| Ziber | Ah, right. | 02:48 |
| VanessaE | 13.04 | 02:48 |
| VanessaE | just installed a few hours ago. | 02:48 |
| Ziber | No release found. Oh well. | 02:48 |
| Ziber | 12.04 is lts. | 02:48 |
| Ziber | works for me. | 02:48 |
| Senor | no enough space to use .but I only use 2G ,it report the total is 19G | 02:49 |
| SonikkuAmerica | Ziber: You can upgrade by messing with Software Sources. | 02:49 |
| Quix86 | uh... the fstab page is kinda confusing. I would like my swap partition and another ext4 partition to mount on boot. How do I do this? | 02:49 |
| Ziber | Eh, don't care that much. | 02:49 |
| Ziber | Thanks though! | 02:49 |
| MartynKeigher | hey all…having an issue with apache default file, and every time i post something there..i get a bot response and its not helping. basically what i want to do is drop the :303 from the following URL… lab.martynkeigher.com:3030 and replace it with /mklab | 02:49 |
| SonikkuAmerica | Ziber: In the Updates tab, select "For any new version." | 02:49 |
| MartynKeigher | **i mean drop 3030…the port. | 02:49 |
| Ziber | Oh, look at that. :D | 02:50 |
| SonikkuAmerica | VanessaE: Can you use any other programs correctly with your webcam? | 02:50 |
| Senor | Quix86: do you mean my swap partion consume my space ? | 02:50 |
| Senor | how to check that ? | 02:50 |
| dougbb | MartynKeigher: the reason you get the bot response is that your question isn't related to ubuntu :) | 02:51 |
| Quix86 | senor I'm wondering about my own swap partition. See if you have "gparted" install to look at your hard drive's partitions | 02:51 |
| SonikkuAmerica | Senor: Yes. It's like virtual memory on Windows. In GParted, search for the portion of the device labeled "swap." | 02:51 |
| VanessaE | SonikkuAmerica: under 12.04, cheese and skype worked fine. Under 13.04, no programs that can access a webcam are able to produce a viable image (tried cheese, skype, gstreamer-properties) | 02:51 |
| SonikkuAmerica | Senor: Excuse me; I meant the virtual memory page file. | 02:51 |
| MartynKeigher | the URL right now is lab.martynkeigher.com:3030/mklab but i want it to be lab.martynkeigher.com/dashing …is this do-able? | 02:51 |
| Quix86 | SonikkuAmerica, he is saying he has something like 10-16gb missing, swap isn't going to take up that much space on a system with a 20gb hard drive | 02:51 |
| VanessaE | SonikkuAmerica: it's as though the driver's auto-exposure control no longer works. | 02:51 |
| SonikkuAmerica | VanessaE: It could be that no one has tested your camera under 13.04. After all, it's still rather new. | 02:52 |
| SonikkuAmerica | Quix86: Ouch. | 02:52 |
| Quix86 | I think my webcam doesn't have auto exposure working either... but I'm not in a terribly new version of the OS | 02:52 |
| Quix86 | I also don't have my webcam hooked up right now to check | 02:52 |
| Senor | SonikkuAmerica:that is memory related | 02:53 |
| SonikkuAmerica | Quix86: Is it a Creative Labs Live! 0250? | 02:53 |
| Quix86 | SonikkuAmerica, no it's some off brand junk I bought for cheap a long time ago | 02:53 |
| Senor | SonikkuAmerica:how to verify what you say? | 02:53 |
| Quix86 | it might have the same driver, idk | 02:53 |
| ThatOneRoadie | MartynKeigher: You can use VirtualHosts and ProxyPass in apache to do that I think. Check out http://apache-http-server.18135.x6.nabble.com/Virtual-Host-port-forwarding-td4763633.html | 02:53 |
| Quix86 | senor "sudo apt-get gparted" | 02:53 |

| Birdo | Hey everyone, I've noticed that load times for web pages in 13.04 was sluggish. I go to speedtest and my download is at 5mb. On another laptop running OS X Lion right next to me, I'm getting 20mb down. What could be causing this? | 02:53 |
| Senor | what is that? | 02:53 |
| SonikkuAmerica | Senor: Actually that's [ sudo apt-get install gparted ]. It's a partition manager for storage devices. | 02:54 |
| SonikkuAmerica | Quix86: Oh. | 02:54 |
| SonikkuAmerica | !info gparted | Senor | 02:54 |
| ubottu | Senor: gparted (source: gparted): GNOME partition editor. In component main, is optional. Version 0.12.1-2 (raring), package size 531 kB, installed size 1840 kB | 02:54 |
| Quix86 | johnjohn1011, just looking at the specs it should be fast enough, but it comes down to driver support. Have you tried google? | 02:55 |
| SonikkuAmerica | Birdo: It could be a host of things... | 02:55 |
| VanessaE | SonikkuAmerica: how do I access the hardware controls for a webcam (generically)? Is there some program for that purpose? (v4l-gtk seems long dead) | 02:55 |

| Gallomimia | it is 12.04 | 03:04 |
| Gallomimia | is 13.04 not LTS? | 03:04 |
| ThatOneRoadie | nope | 03:04 |

| SonikkuAmerica | WhitePelican: I think your wife has run into a dead end with your machine's Creative Labs webcam. | 03:06 |
| dougbb | Birdo: that wouldn't be relevant unless you actually had ipv6 | 03:06 |
| dougbb | Birdo: what kind of internet connection are you dealing with that is slow right now? | 03:06 |
| Birdo | Gallomimia, dougbb: darn, then I just don't understand. | 03:06 |
| Gallomimia | that's okay. ipv6 isn't much to worry about. i guess you might have a different problem | 03:07 |
| Birdo | dougbb: Just regular cable Internet? I've never had a problem like this with Ubuntu until 13.04. | 03:07 |
| dougbb | Birdo: I mean, how is your host connected? | 03:08 |
| dougbb | wire? wireless? | 03:08 |
| Senor | it report the total space used by filesystem is 99%,but I have no so many files on | 03:08 |
| Birdo | dougbb: Sorry, wireless. | 03:09 |
| usr13 | Birdo: Look at output of iwconfig particularly signal report. | 03:09 |
| dougbb | Birdo: is the other host (that is going fast) also on wireless? | 03:09 |
| Birdo | usr13: Signal level? says -61 dBm, bit rate 5.5mb/s | 03:10 |

| aszurom | Q: I have an NFS server behind a NAT firewall. What ports must I forward to the NFS server so that I can mount exports through it? Currently I have 111, 2049, 4000-4002 but showmount -e <ip address> isn't working | 03:14 |
| swan1 | Hello. I am running mythbuntu 12.04.2, w/mythtv .26 and have configured audio so that it is sent to my tv via HDMI. Unfortunately, if I leave the system idle for a while (>1h) the video gets shut off and when I move the mouse/press the keyboard the HDMI audio no longer works. If I reboot, it works again. How do I 1) Turn off the power saving (mis)feature and 2) fix the audio issue? | 03:15 |
| swan1 | I am running the ATI/AMD Proprietary FGLRX graphics driver. | 03:15 |

| aszurom | yes | 03:17 |
| aszurom | I have other mappings going through the firewall to this server, just can't get NFS to work | 03:17 |
| SonikkuAmerica | swan1: It uses XFCE right? | 03:17 |

| usr13 | aszurom: nmap -p 111 ###.###.##.# | 03:18 |
| aszurom | I'm wondering if I'm missing ports or 111 and 2049 are really all that is required | 03:18 |
| SonikkuAmerica | Gabboz: Try using [ dconf-editor ] maybe, can't assure you of anything... | 03:19 |
| swan1 | SonikkuAmerica, I haven't been able to find any power saving settngs or screen saver settings | 03:19 |
| VanessaE | SonikkuAmerica: it does not persist across a reboot, but I saved a v4l2ctrl file which, when reloaded makes the cam work. | 03:19 |
| Gabboz | SonikkuAmerica, yeah that will probably do it. | 03:19 |
| aszurom | usr13, 111/tcp open rpcbind | 03:19 |
| usr13 | aszurom: I think you are correct, 111 and 2049 tcp and udp comes to mind. (Not positive but...) | 03:19 |
| SonikkuAmerica | VanessaE: Beautifule. | 03:20 |
| SonikkuAmerica | VanessaE: I can't type tonight... :\ | 03:20 |
| aszurom | if I try showmount -e from a linux VM that is also behind the NAT, it shows the exports fine | 03:20 |
| usr13 | aszurom: Maybe it is not a network problem. | 03:20 |
| SonikkuAmerica | Gabboz: I'm poking around in it myself... | 03:20 |
| aszurom | I'm thinkng so... there's a double nat going on here | 03:20 |
| Gabboz | SonikkuAmerica, you're probably right it should be in there. | 03:20 |
| aszurom | [client]->[nat]--network--[nat]-->[server] | 03:21 |
| usr13 | aszurom: /etc/exports ? | 03:21 |
| aszurom | the exports show fine and mount fine from the other linux VM, so they're known good | 03:21 |
| franco | can someone say my name so i can test the highlighting on my irc client? | 03:22 |
| usr13 | aszurom: And you know that you have to restart the NFS server if you make any changes, right? | 03:22 |
| aszurom | the server is actually a Netapp VSim filer, but it doesn't matter because it's basically a BSD box | 03:22 |
| Gabboz | SonikkuAmerica, i searched for button.. no dice. | 03:22 |
| aszurom | usr13, yeah, the server itself being the problem has been throroughly ruled out | 03:23 |
| aszurom | it's a nat port forwarding network issue for sure | 03:23 |
| Gabboz | franco, | 03:23 |
| SonikkuAmerica | Gabboz: I'm doing a full toothcomb. | 03:23 |
| Gabboz | ok | 03:23 |
| VanessaE | SonikkuAmerica: thanks for attempting to help anyways :-) Someone should document that bit I did, if possible in case someone else runs into the same issue | 03:23 |
| aszurom | usr13, I can mount and browse the exports fine if I'm behind the same NAT | 03:23 |
| usr13 | aszurom: read man nfs | 03:23 |
| Gabboz | SonikkuAmerica, we cant be the only ones annoyed by it. :P | 03:23 |
| usr13 | aszurom: Oh ok | 03:24 |
| Quix86 | http://pastebin.com/8hcGhnEv why isn't my swap mounting on startup? | 03:24 |
| aszurom | usr13, that's why I was asking if there were any other ports that might be involved. It must be a NAT issue | 03:24 |
| usr13 | aszurom: So are you sure you have those ports farworded to the correct IP on your NAT firewall? | 03:24 |
| dank101 | now i can watch full screen YT vids without lagg | 03:25 |
| dank101 | dat quality | 03:25 |
| aszurom | usr13, yeah, because the rule for forwarding SSH does work fine | 03:25 |

| johnjohn1011 | wtf, can't use onboard and dash | 03:45 |
| SonikkuAmerica | WhitePelican: That's happening in Empathy too... I dunno if that's a GTK+ <-> Qt problem or what that is. | 03:45 |

| ubottu | johnjohn1011: Please watch your language and topic to help keep this channel family-friendly, polite, and professional. | 03:45 |
| h00k | Quix86: Hibernate is when it saves the state to your HD and shuts down, Suspend is when it saves your state to memory and powers off (mostly), but keeps the RAM alive. Hibernate uses zero power, suspend uses a little. | 03:46 |
| johnjohn1011 | is there an issue where you can't use onboard and dash in 12.04? | 03:46 |
| h00k | Quix86: resuming from hibernate roughly takes as long as a fresh boot, but suspend is much quicker | 03:47 |
| Quix86 | h00k yes, I heard something about the 3.6 kernel introducing something where the computer hibernates using the ram and hard drive so it can start up faster if it's not been left on long enough that it has to shut down and reload from the disk | 03:47 |
| MissValeska | hey | 03:47 |

| h00k | Quix86: but suspend is much nicer ;) | 03:49 |
| Quix86 | h00k I might use it if I knew exactly how much power my system used while suspended | 03:50 |
| Quix86 | and got an idea of battery life and such | 03:50 |
| Quix86 | oh I was supposed to look into an ultrabay battery today.... | 03:50 |
| h00k | Quix86: probably > 1 day, but I guess it depends on how long you're looking to suspend for | 03:50 |

| SonikkuAmerica | akis: Is anyone in the #xubuntu channel responsive? | 04:04 |
| SunSoul | Hi all, in Ubuntu Gnome 13.04, I added the Gnome PPA to install Gnome 3.8, but I do not know how to enable classic mode. Anyone know? | 04:04 |
| josePHPagoda | Hi SonikkuAmerica, how are you doing? | 04:05 |
| SonikkuAmerica | Ohai | 04:05 |
| Quix86 | SonikkuAmerica, there isn't an xubuntu channel (in freenode) | 04:05 |
| Quix86 | oh nevermind there it is | 04:05 |
| SonikkuAmerica | SunSoul: It doesn't exist. | 04:05 |
| akis | SonikkuAmerica: i am not there. only here. do i have to ask the same question there? | 04:05 |
| SonikkuAmerica | akis: You should. | 04:05 |
| akis | ok. i went already | 04:05 |
| Quix86 | akis you might try #xfce as well | 04:05 |
| SonikkuAmerica | Quix86: I'm part of Xubuntu's community IRC support staff. kthx :) | 04:06 |
| SunSoul | SonikkuAmerica At all? I could have swore Gnome 3.8 has a classic mode? It is in the release notes. | 04:06 |
| Quix86 | I didn't see it in the channel list when I was looking earlier because it was so far down (in users) | 04:06 |
| johnjohn1011 | onboard still broken in 12.04 works correctly with dash in 13.04. annoying | 04:06 |
| Quix86 | Oh! | 04:07 |
| Quix86 | How do I disable these silly splash screens and do a verbose start up/shut down like debian default? | 04:07 |
| akis | thank you guys! | 04:08 |
| SonikkuAmerica | SunSoul: Yes, not at all. GNOME dumped it in 3.8 | 04:08 |
| lotuspsychje | Quix86: you mean text style boot? | 04:08 |
| Quix86 | sunsoul if you want something like that you might try the MATE dm | 04:09 |
| Quix86 | lotuspsychje, yes | 04:09 |
| SunSoul | SonikkuAmerica So Gnome Team, announced Gnome Classic for 3.8, and has release notes on it, and even shows screenshots on it, and dumped it? | 04:09 |
| lotuspsychje | Quix86: remove 'quiet splash' from grub | 04:09 |
| SonikkuAmerica | SunSoul: According to Wikipedia, GNOME Fallback was removed from 3.8. | 04:09 |
| SunSoul | Quix86 Alright, but doesn't Mate look kind of not so pretty currently? Maybe I saw 1.3 | 04:09 |
| SunSoul | Right | 04:09 |
| SunSoul | Because they introduced Gnome Classic | 04:10 |
| LinDol | i was using 12.10, how do i install gnome 3.8 on my ubuntu? | 04:10 |
| SunSoul | In 3.8 | 04:10 |
| SunSoul | Supposedly anyways | 04:10 |
| Quix86 | sunsoul I don't know what gnome3 classic looks like, I'm assuming it looks more like gnome 2 and MATE is basically an offshoot of gnome 2 | 04:10 |
| johnjohn1011 | gnome classic in 3.8 looks and feels horrible. mate is still better | 04:10 |
| SonikkuAmerica | SunSoul: Oh, excuse me! Just found the more recent article on Softpedia... :\ | 04:10 |
| benno123 | how do i make my taskbar transparent? | 04:11 |
| Quix86 | lotuspsychje, which grub file do I change? | 04:11 |
| Quix86 | /etc/grub.d/05? | 04:12 |
| AndroUser2 | hello everyone | 04:12 |
| SunSoul | SonikkuAmerica I am trying to find how to enable it.... | 04:12 |
| SunSoul | I have no idea how to do it | 04:12 |
| wilee-nilee | SunSoul, There is no stable 3.8 | 04:13 |
| lotuspsychje | !grub | Quix86 | 04:13 |
| ubottu | Quix86: GRUB2 is the default Ubuntu boot manager. Lost GRUB after installing Windows? See https://help.ubuntu.com/community/RestoreGrub - For more information and troubleshooting for GRUB2 please refer to https://help.ubuntu.com/community/Grub2 | 04:13 |
| SunSoul | So, 3.8.1 is not stable then? | 04:13 |
| Quix86 | You could say there is no stable 3.x if you wanna get edgy | 04:13 |
| benno123 | i want to make my Taskbar transparent.can anybody know,how would that be possible? | 04:13 |
| SunSoul | Hmmm | 04:14 |
| lotuspsychje | Quix86: you on raring or still 12.10? | 04:14 |
| AndroUser2 | has anyone messed around with 13.04 and the Nexus 7? | 04:14 |
| DatKid | Umm sorry but whats the topic? | 04:14 |
| Quix86 | 12.10 | 04:14 |
| SunSoul | So currently no real way to see Gnome 3.8 in classic implementation then. | 04:14 |
| lotuspsychje | !touch | AndroUser2 | 04:14 |
| ubottu | AndroUser2: Information about the Ubuntu Touch platform for Phone and Tablet is available here https://wiki.ubuntu.com/Touch support and discussion in #ubuntu-touch | 04:14 |

| Campfire | hi guys who is in charge | 04:15 |
| StevenX | me | 04:15 |
| Campfire | just curios of the structure | 04:15 |
| SonikkuAmerica | SunSoul: Looks like Classic Mode got itself an overhaul. | 04:15 |
| DatKid | what happens if i install Ubuntu then Windows? | 04:15 |
| === Endafy is now known as Guest96815 | ||
| DatKid | just wondering | 04:16 |
| wilee-nilee | Campfire, Then read the channel header. | 04:16 |
| Quix86 | datkid windows overwrites the linux bootloader | 04:16 |
| Campfire | ty steven | 04:16 |
| AndroUser2 | well touch is not thoroughly fleshed out yet, over last weekend i had 13.04 running fine on nexus but it felt like a laptop for an Oompa Loompa | 04:16 |
| DatKid | ok ty quix | 04:16 |
| SunSoul | SonikkuAmerica Overhaul? As in, going to rework it then? | 04:16 |
| AndroUser2 | ps how do i change my nick please? | 04:16 |
| Campfire | ty wilee its been awile | 04:16 |
| Quix86 | lotuspsychje, grub2 is a mess and has configuration files everywhere, I'd appreciate it if you told me what folder the file was in instead of giving me a link describing the big mess | 04:16 |
| SonikkuAmerica | SunSoul: I saw the screenshot on the release notes... | 04:16 |
| wilee-nilee | AndroidBeing, that channel has desktops for android devices not just the touch | 04:16 |
| SunSoul | SonikkuAmerica, yeah I saw that as well. | 04:17 |
| SonikkuAmerica | SunSoul: It looks almost nothing like the old GNOME 2. | 04:17 |
| DatKid | umm I installed 12.04 on a computer but the install messed up, can i just use a live CD to reinstall Ubuntu on top of it? | 04:17 |
| lalondong | I'm running Ubuntu 12.04 LTS | 04:17 |
| SonikkuAmerica | DatKid: Yes | 04:17 |
| lalondong | but because it's too slow i've changed them to XFCE desktop environment.. | 04:17 |
| bitblt | any idea why if, on an already running service, you issue "service X start" they return 0, except for mysql, which returns 1? | 04:17 |
| lotuspsychje | Quix86: its not very hard to read the ubuntu trigger urls...No /boot/grub/menu.lst. It has been replaced by /boot/grub/grub.cfg. | 04:17 |
| SunSoul | SonikkuAmerica hmmm, yeah it looks odd. I just wantd to try it out for myself, but I could not find an actual way to enable it, or how exactly to enable it. So I keep pokingg around the net to find a solution. | 04:18 |
| lalondong | everythings fine, until i try to use my Pidgin. and it's not showing online buddies | 04:18 |
| === Guest96815 is now known as Endafy` | ||
| DatKid | thx sonikku | 04:18 |
| lalondong | but when i type the name to new conversation it's actually online . | 04:18 |
| SunSoul | SonikkuAmerica Apparently, it has Gnome 3 behind it, with Gnome 2esque ideas on top of it. | 04:18 |
| lalondong | Damned whats my problem | 04:18 |
| SonikkuAmerica | SunSoul: Yeah... one sec... | 04:18 |
| freaky[t] | hi all i have a question. I have Win8Pro on my laptop and I have it encrypted with Bitlocker. What do I need to do if I want to install the latest Ubuntu 13.04 on my laptop now? | 04:19 |
| === AndroUser2 is now known as RubenAlonzo | ||
| Endafy` | you have to remove the encrypted partition | 04:19 |
| freaky[t] | u sure? | 04:19 |
| Endafy` | windows 8 sucks anyway so ur doing urself a service | 04:20 |
| F41L_ | OK, I'm now on raring and not mint. Now will you help me? :) | 04:20 |
| Endafy` | yes once something is encrypted it has to be deleted | 04:20 |
| Quix86 | lotuspsychje, so what I actually need to be editing is /etc/default/grub | 04:20 |
| freaky[t] | i want to dualboot | 04:20 |
| freaky[t] | i mean | 04:20 |
| freaky[t] | have it alongside windows8 | 04:20 |
| Endafy` | you cant shrink an encrypted partition | 04:20 |
| Endafy` | impossibru | 04:20 |
| freaky[t] | hm | 04:20 |
| Endafy` | not mentioning Windows 8's filesystem is locked | 04:20 |
| Endafy` | you so much as touch it, and Windows 8 wont boot | 04:21 |
| freaky[t] | ok thanks | 04:21 |
| Endafy` | dualboot 7 and Ubuntu | 04:21 |
| freaky[t] | ok then i wont install ubuntu thanks ;D | 04:21 |
| Endafy` | or remove windows 8 | 04:21 |
| Endafy` | ofr windows 7 | 04:21 |
| Endafy` | for* | 04:21 |
| Quix86 | Endafy`, that sounds terrible | 04:21 |
| freaky[t] | no i will not install ubuntu then | 04:21 |
| dank101 | remove 8 | 04:21 |
| freaky[t] | thanks | 04:21 |
| Endafy` | well whatever | 04:21 |
| dank101 | it sucks in comparison | 04:21 |
| Endafy` | enjoy the hell of 8 | 04:21 |
| Quix86 | freaky[t], you really should use 7 instead | 04:22 |
| F41L_ | On Ubuntu 13.04, replaced unity with cinnamon. Trying to figure out why my when my windows are maximized, they extend below the threshold of the taskbar and go behind it. Any ideas? | 04:22 |
| dank101 | use 7 and ubuntu | 04:22 |
| freaky[t] | no i should not use win7 instead i want win8 ;D | 04:22 |
| lotuspsychje | Quix86: GRUB_CMDLINE_LINUX_DEFAULT="quiet splash" edit to "" (remove quiet splash) | 04:22 |
| Endafy` | I mean even if you never use Ubuntu use windows 7 at least | 04:22 |
| betrayd | or play with the liveCD | 04:22 |
| Endafy` | 8 is horrible | 04:22 |
| Biomechd | hey, so i'm having a bit of a problem. when i booted up my laptop just a few minutes ago, and finally got to my desktop, i noticed the ubuntu dash along the left side of the screen is leaving behind this obscuring brown bar down the side of the screen. how do i get rid of this? | 04:22 |
| lotuspsychje | Quix86: then update-grub after | 04:22 |
| === jordan_ is now known as MiniD | ||
| dank101 | freaky[t], if you use 8 over 7 you sre retarded and are a disgrase to man kind | 04:22 |
| Quix86 | lotuspsychje, yes I saw that, but I needed to know what file it was, the file was /etc/default/grub. I'll check it after I get hibernation sorted | 04:22 |
| Endafy` | not bc of the UI, no it is flat out incompatible with every piece of hardware I own | 04:22 |
| sysRPL | 2 questions in 13.04 here .... 1) why isn't F3 showing me split panes in nautilus ... and 2) typing smb://x.x.x.x (or the ip of my windows pc) is doing nothing ... why on both 1 and 2? | 04:22 |
| wilee-nilee | freaky[t], You can resize W8 encrypted ask in ##windows | 04:23 |
| Endafy` | wilee-nilee: not if its bitlocked | 04:23 |
| lotuspsychje | Quix86: to undo if not like: set quiet splash again and update-grub | 04:23 |
| wilee-nilee | Endafy`The web says otherwise | 04:23 |
| freaky[t] | i can unbitlock it but its all a lot of work | 04:23 |
| Endafy` | bitlocker is a pita to unlock | 04:23 |
| Quix86 | Why would anyone use W8 instead of W7 | 04:23 |
| freaky[t] | and then i have the problem with the linux bootloader cuz its not the bitlocker screen | 04:23 |
| Endafy` | Quix86: ikr | 04:23 |
| Endafy` | even without bitlocker windows 8's FS is locked because of the stupid way it boots | 04:24 |
| Quix86 | W7 is good for another 8 years anyway | 04:24 |
| Endafy` | I used Windows 8 all of 10 days before I puked all over it | 04:24 |
| * Quix86 shrugs | 04:24 | |
| wilee-nilee | !ot | 04:24 |
| ubottu | #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! | 04:24 |
| Endafy` | the UI is fine | 04:24 |
| lotuspsychje | stick to ubuntu support guys | 04:24 |
| Endafy` | wilee-nilee: this is support | 04:24 |
| Endafy` | shove it | 04:24 |
| dank101 | freaky[t], ... | 04:24 |
| Quix86 | I wonder how multiscreen support in linux is | 04:24 |
| dank101 | Quix86, pretty good | 04:25 |
| Endafy` | Quix86: I use 3 displays | 04:25 |
| Quix86 | I'm imaging it's a pain, because I'm going to be using a dock if I do | 04:25 |
| freaky[t] | ok so i have no idea how it will work with win8 and ubuntu ill better not install ubuntu then | 04:25 |
| Quix86 | so I'm going to be switching between one display and 2/3 | 04:25 |
| lotuspsychje | !poll | 04:25 |
| ubottu | Usually, there is no single "best" application to perform a given task. It's up to you to choose, depending on your preferences, features you require, and other factors. Do NOT take polls in the channel. If you insist on getting people's opinions, ask BestBot in #ubuntu-bots. | 04:25 |
| Endafy` | for multidisplays though I highly suggest KDE over Unity though | 04:25 |
| Quix86 | Endafy`, I use XFCE | 04:25 |
| wilee-nilee | freaky[t], Put it in a virtual. | 04:25 |
| SonikkuAmerica | SunSoul: Try adding the GNOME 3 PPA and installing gnome-session-fallback... | 04:25 |
| Endafy` | you can assign different desktops to different monitors in KDE no other DE on earth can do that not even Windows | 04:26 |
| Endafy` | or OSX | 04:26 |
| RobbyF | omg I hate how it brakes unity on upgrade | 04:26 |
| Quix86 | is KDE the default WM in fedora 18? | 04:26 |
| Endafy` | idk I use Kubuntu | 04:26 |
| SonikkuAmerica | Quix86: I didn't think so. | 04:26 |
| Quix86 | if it is that was disgusting and I'm not touching it | 04:26 |
| Quix86 | might have been gnome3 tho | 04:26 |
| SunSoul | soahccc, ok | 04:26 |
| wilee-nilee | RobbyF, come again, details. | 04:26 |
| SonikkuAmerica | Quix86: I thought it was GNOME 3 | 04:26 |
| Quix86 | was bad enough to be gnome3 that's for sure | 04:26 |
| SunSoul | Doing that right now. | 04:26 |
| Endafy` | friends dont let friends use Gnome | 04:26 |
| SonikkuAmerica | Quix86: Fedora ~= GnomeOS | 04:26 |
| SunSoul | SonikkuAmerica, I mean | 04:26 |
| SonikkuAmerica | Endafy`: Don't go there. | 04:26 |
| Endafy` | so glad 13.10 is going full Qt | 04:27 |
| Quix86 | yeah, last time I tried fedora it was KDE tho | 04:27 |
| Endafy` | let GTK die in fire | 04:27 |
| RobbyF | wilee-nilee, on the 13.04 update same with 12.10 update my unity session brakes on boot. I think it's partial to nvidia. | 04:27 |
| lotuspsychje | !ot | Quix86 | 04:27 |
| Quix86 | hmmm | 04:27 |
| ubottu | Quix86: #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! | 04:27 |
| F41L_ | I've got 13.04, and a weird issue is occuring where my windows extend behind the task bar when maximised, cutting off that portion of the window. | 04:27 |
| Quix86 | !ot | lotuspsychje | 04:27 |
| ubottu | lotuspsychje: #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! | 04:27 |
| Endafy` | lolz | 04:27 |
| Quix86 | actually, you know that | 04:27 |
| Quix86 | I'm putting ubottu on ignore | 04:27 |
| Endafy` | this is support and we are helping him make an educated decision | 04:27 |
| Quix86 | why didn't I think of that before | 04:28 |
| SonikkuAmerica | Endafy`: Flaming GTK+ is rather biased, don'tcha think" | 04:28 |
| SonikkuAmerica | ? | 04:28 |
| Quix86 | those auto wall-o-texts get right up my butt | 04:28 |
| lotuspsychje | Endafy: this is not the channel to talk about fedora | 04:28 |
| wilee-nilee | RobbyF, every release update needs nvidia reloaded that is your responsibility, rather then random;y complaining. | 04:28 |
| Endafy` | my bias isnt unfounded though | 04:28 |
| RobbyF | wilee-nilee, http://askubuntu.com/questions/285627/unity-does-not-start-in-ubuntu-13-04 < this resolved it | 04:28 |
| Endafy` | there's a reason Ubuntu is going full Qt | 04:28 |
| Endafy` | its just far superior, always has been always will be | 04:29 |
| RobbyF | wilee-nilee, it should at least give me an interface to work with. | 04:29 |
| Quix86 | what's the package I'm looking for that should be "kde" | 04:29 |
| RobbyF | I didn't come here to complain, I'm here to post the results incase someone else needed help. | 04:29 |
| Endafy` | Kubuntu | 04:29 |
| Quix86 | also is there a way to install kde that doesn't involve the billion kapps I don't need | 04:29 |
| Endafy` | Quix86: use Kubuntu try it for a few days if you dont fall in love with it shoot me | 04:30 |
| wilee-nilee | er not update but upgrade | 04:30 |
| lotuspsychje | !info kubuntu-desktop | Quix86 | 04:30 |
| Quix86 | I'd rather try the WM without doing a whole reinstall | 04:30 |
| ubottu | Quix86: kubuntu-desktop (source: kubuntu-meta): Kubuntu Plasma Desktop/Netbook system. In component universe, is optional. Version 1.276 (raring), package size 3 kB, installed size 54 kB | 04:30 |
| F41L_ | Endafy`: I have kubuntu installation discs, but trying to avoid it and use cinnamon instead. | 04:30 |
| Quix86 | lotuspsychje, I've got ubottu on ignore | 04:30 |
| Endafy` | it takes a minute to grasp its technological advances, but once you do you will soon realize "why didnt I use KDE sooner?" | 04:30 |
| Quix86 | I might go try it on debian if I can't just do a package install on xubuntu | 04:31 |
| Endafy` | F41L_: lmao @ anything GTK have fun with your disappearing task bar in anything 2s | 04:31 |
| Endafy` | 2d rather | 04:31 |
| Quix86 | I shouldn't have to install a whole new distro to change my WM, you know | 04:31 |
| Quix86 | I only have xubuntu on here becaues that means I never had to use unity | 04:31 |
| Endafy` | its not a new distro its Ubuntu with GTK shaved off and Qt in place | 04:31 |
| Endafy` | just try Kubuntu trust me | 04:32 |
| Endafy` | its like night n day like going from an arm based device to an i7 | 04:32 |
| Quix86 | I'll try KDE on debian later | 04:32 |
| Endafy` | it will blow ur mind how good it really is | 04:32 |
| Endafy` | get over the settings, there are lots for a reason, it gives you power where other DEs try to take your power away | 04:32 |
| Endafy` | they force their vision on you, where KDE just is what you want it to be | 04:33 |
| SonikkuAmerica | SunSoul: I think metacity pooped on me. | 04:33 |
| SunSoul | SonikkuAmerica Nope, that is something different. That's the one from Gnome 3x, before the .8 release. | 04:33 |
| SunSoul | SonikkuAmerica Yeah | 04:33 |
| Quix86 | does KDE show an auto-hide taskbar when an application blinks the taskbar? | 04:33 |
| SonikkuAmerica | SunSoul: I can see that. It messed everything up. | 04:33 |
| SonikkuAmerica | One sec. | 04:33 |

| Endafy` | or write your own | 04:34 |
| Endafy` | its all plug and play | 04:34 |
| F41L_ | it's just so friggin' customizable it's obtuse. | 04:35 |
| Endafy` | right you make it your own without having to use the terminal or dirty hacks | 04:35 |

| Endafy` | lotuspsychje: noone wants to go there because there is nobody in them | 04:39 |
| Quix86 | I'd agree about it being off topic but it is annoying getting messages thrown at you instead of just being told something. Anyway, I think I'd prefer deb on that mac instead of ubuntu but I'm not sure | 04:39 |

| Endafy` | learn to accept people as they are or ur gunna have headaches the rest of your life | 04:40 |

| SonikkuAmerica | So now I have this gorgeous white screen with Unity running on top of it in 13.04! What should I do? | 04:42 |

| Quix86 | SonikkuAmerica, sudo apt-get xfce4 :3 | 04:42 |

| rebelrebel | lotuspsychje: how would i go about doing that, i havent really had much experience with modern linux. Seems things have changed abit | 04:44 |
| lotuspsychje | Quix86: if you dont ignored triggers, you would see easy ways to install kubuntu desktop or xubuntu | 04:44 |

| wilee-nilee | rebelrebel, could be but it needs a wrapper that is a bit beyond a easy install, and needs drivers downloaded. | 04:44 |
| Campfire | i heard the new ubuntu slow but good for gaming | 04:45 |
| lotuspsychje | !drivers > lotuspsychje | 04:45 |
| rebelrebel | lotuspsychje: was that directed to me? | 04:46 |
| lotuspsychje | Campire: ubuntu is very fast, but plz discuss this in #ubuntu-offtopic | 04:46 |
| Campfire | ok | 04:46 |
| Campfire | ty | 04:46 |
| lotuspsychje | rebelrebel: i was testing if there was a trigger for additional drivers | 04:46 |
| Quix-A | :\ | 04:47 |
| ubuntuaddicted | how can i tell if im running 64bit or 32bit? ubuntu | 04:47 |
| === Quix-A is now known as Quix86 | ||
| Quix86 | ubuntuaddicted, uname -a | 04:47 |
| ubuntuaddicted | Quix86, thanks | 04:48 |
| Campfire | is the command to join ubuntu offtopic /j #ubuntu-offtopic i,m new to this xchat client | 04:48 |
| SonikkuAmerica | Campfire: Yes | 04:49 |
| rebelrebel | where does ubuntu mount flash drivers, i am on easy peasy but i cant seem to find my flash drive. I did ask in the easypeast specific channel but iits empty | 04:50 |
| ubuntuaddicted | does anyone know if 13.04 works with multisystem? | 04:50 |
| ubuntuaddicted | multisystem allows you to boot several different iso's all from the same usb stick | 04:50 |
| rohan_ | what is the role of /etc/fstab during bootup? i saw two machines with broken fstab entry for the root "/" partition, and yet both of them booted up correctly | 04:51 |
| Quix86- | right | 04:51 |
| Quix86- | why is my hibernation broken | 04:51 |
| ubuntuaddicted | rohan_, fstab has the partition and where to mount that partition information | 04:51 |
| rohan_ | ubuntuaddicted: i know, but i am surprised why the systems are booting up even with a broken root partition entry | 04:52 |
| ubuntuaddicted | rohan_, when you say "broken fstab entries for / root" what do you mean exactly? | 04:52 |
| doomlord | i like the mousewheel launcher icon winows switching, but I wish you also use the mousewheel to change desktops | 04:52 |
| rohan_ | the entry reads "/dev/sda" instead of a proper line | 04:52 |
| doomlord | like in classic gnome | 04:52 |
| Quix86- | when I do pm-hibernate the system acts like it's dumping things to ram at least | 04:52 |
| ubuntuaddicted | rohan_, /dev/sda is acceptable to fstab | 04:52 |
| ubuntuaddicted | rohan_, OH, without a number you mean? | 04:53 |
| Quix86- | but then when it boots up it boots up like it normally would | 04:53 |
| rohan_ | ubuntuaddicted: how? how would it find the root partition? | 04:53 |
| rohan_ | ubuntuaddicted: exactly | 04:53 |
| Quix86- | as if I had not used hibernate | 04:53 |
| rohan_ | ubuntuaddicted: on my current VM, the line is "/dev/sda / ext4 errors=remount-ro 0 1" | 04:53 |
| ubuntuaddicted | rohan_, are you sure there wasn't a UUID line in the fstab file as well? | 04:53 |
| rohan_ | ubuntuaddicted: i'm sure, i deleted the UUID line | 04:53 |
| SonikkuAmerica | Sooo glad Ubuntu 13.04 has a "reinstall" option. | 04:53 |
| rohan_ | ubuntuaddicted: is a backup of fstab stored somewhere? or does it get root partition info from initrd or grub params? | 04:54 |
| ubuntuaddicted | rohan_, maybe the system has a fallback and auto boots the 1st primary partition? | 04:54 |
| SonikkuAmerica | rohan_: It's in /etc/fstab... you may wish to create a fstab.backup | 04:54 |
| rohan_ | ubuntuaddicted: no, this worked for a system where the root partition is /dev/sda6 also | 04:55 |
| ubuntuaddicted | rohan_, i have no idea then. | 04:55 |
| rohan_ | SonikkuAmerica: what is? | 04:55 |
| MissValeska | hey | 04:55 |
| MissValeska | I need help | 04:55 |
| SonikkuAmerica | rohan_: That's where the fstab file (the mount list) is... | 04:56 |
| rohan_ | SonikkuAmerica: yes, but i am talking about boot up with a broken fstab file | 04:56 |
| SonikkuAmerica | rohan_: You can specify what to boot in GRUB. | 04:56 |
| MissValeska | Hey um | 04:56 |
| MissValeska | The Ubuntu 13.04 upgrade thing is hanging | 04:57 |
| rohan_ | SonikkuAmerica: yes, but is that mounted as the root partition, taking precedence over your fstab? | 04:57 |
| wilee-nilee | Quix86-, Your swap slightly bigger then your ram amount? | 04:57 |
| SonikkuAmerica | rohan_: Can you get to GRUB? | 04:57 |
| Quix86- | wilee-nilee, yes swap is 4.84 ram is 4 | 04:57 |
| === ubuntu is now known as Guest67070 | ||
| rohan_ | SonikkuAmerica: yes, and the system is booting just fine, in spite of the broken entry | 04:58 |
| wilee-nilee | Quix86-, You sure the swap is mounting? | 04:58 |
| SonikkuAmerica | rohan_: Well then what's the problem? | 04:58 |
| sysRPL | typing smb://192.168.1.150 (or the ip of my windows pc) in nuatilus does nothing ... why? on my other linux pc i can see shared folders on my windows server? | 04:58 |
| Quix86- | it's mounted by the time I'm in the DM at least | 04:58 |
| rohan_ | SonikkuAmerica: there is none, i am trying to understand why the system is booting up inspite of the broken entry | 04:58 |
| Guest67070 | wow ubuntu 13.04 is freaken fast XD | 04:58 |
| Quix86- | right after I booted up I checked gparted and it was mounted | 04:59 |
| SonikkuAmerica | Guest67070: That's the whole idea! | 04:59 |
| Quix86- | and I believe I saw it getting mounted at boot, but I'm not entirely sure. | 04:59 |
| SonikkuAmerica | rohan_: It prob has to do with the "linux" and "initrd" lines more than anything. | 04:59 |
| Guest67070 | SonikkuAmerica, its even faster then windows 7 I daresay holy crap XD | 04:59 |
| SonikkuAmerica | Guest67070: You can say that again. I expect 14.04 LTS to be wicked fast. | 05:00 |
| woo | hey, ubuntu. Having a really hard time with kismet on Ubuntu 12.04 lts | 05:00 |
| Morph4me | Quix86-: how big is your swap ? | 05:00 |
| Quix86- | SonikkuAmerica, only if it's running on a macintosh IIix...? | 05:00 |
| Quix86- | Morph4me, 4.8gb | 05:01 |
| Morph4me | k | 05:01 |
| Guest67070 | SonikkuAmerica, hopefully I can customize the theme more. Never liked Ubuntu's orangness | 05:01 |
| SonikkuAmerica | Quix86-: What? | 05:01 |
| SonikkuAmerica | Guest67070: I can let you in on a little secret about that... | 05:01 |
| wilee-nilee | Quix86-, I'm not familiar with hibernate at all, however I found this. https://help.ubuntu.com/community/PowerManagement/Hibernate | 05:01 |
| Morph4me | Quix 86 you might want to look at this from 13.04 help guide http://i.imgur.com/XOcrz54.png?1 | 05:01 |
| Quix86- | SonikkuAmerica, excuse me, macintosh IIfx | 05:01 |
| SonikkuAmerica | Guest67070: It takes the middle pixel of the background image and uses that color as the dash color. | 05:01 |
| shashi | hu | 05:02 |
| sysRPL | okay, how the fuck do you split windows in nautilus (F3) in 13.04? | 05:02 |
| SonikkuAmerica | Quix86-: This 6-year-old clunker I'm on should be running Xubuntu by now, but my, my, Shuttlebay did it again. | 05:02 |
| Baker | So I've got Ubuntu Studio, but I don't like Xfce. Is there a way I can use GNOME with it? | 05:02 |
| Tm_T | sysRPL: language, please | 05:03 |
| wilee-nilee | Baker, Which gnome? | 05:03 |
| Quix86- | SonikkuAmerica, if it's properly old then it should be running debian | 05:03 |
| SonikkuAmerica | Baker: Install Ubuntu GNOME and then run [ sudo apt-get install ubuntustudio-audio* ubuntustudio-graphics ubuntustudio-video ] | 05:03 |
| Baker | Whichever version is running on 12.04. | 05:03 |
| wilee-nilee | Baker, Gnome 3 which is underneath unity, the gnome-shell and fallback. | 05:04 |
| sysRPL | okay, how the flunk do you split windows in nautilus (F3) in 13.04? | 05:04 |
| SonikkuAmerica | Baker: On 12.04 it's Unity, although you can install GNOME Shell instead. | 05:04 |
| SonikkuAmerica | Baker: Still, same process. | 05:04 |
| Quix86- | sysRPL, "how the beef stick" | 05:04 |
| Baker | Ah, so is Unity the name of the environment with the pretty sidebar? | 05:04 |
| Baker | Sorry for the noob questions. I'm a bit new to this whole thing. | 05:05 |
| SonikkuAmerica | Baker: Yep | 05:05 |
| SonikkuAmerica | Baker: Beginners come in all the time. | 05:05 |
| ltrottier | I'm having this weird error where vim is claiming it can't open a temporary file on startup. Google provides no answers. | 05:05 |
| ltrottier | (though perhaps I should ask on #vim ?) | 05:05 |
| Baker | So would I have to install ubuntu 12.04, then just download the studio packages? Would that be the easier process? | 05:06 |
| SonikkuAmerica | Baker: That's the only process. | 05:06 |
| Baker | Alright, thanks for the help. | 05:06 |
| SonikkuAmerica | Baker: You can select them in Software Center or Synaptic, of course. | 05:06 |
| Tm_T | SonikkuAmerica: Baker: any reason you couldn't just install ubuntu-desktop? | 05:06 |
| Tm_T | on that ubuntustudio already installed | 05:06 |
| SonikkuAmerica | Tm_T, Baker: That too. | 05:06 |
| WormFood | I'm trying to install 13.04 on a laptop with an nvidia gpu, but it locks up shortly after it switches to graphics mode, and leaves me with a blank screen with the mouse pointer in the middle of the screen (if i don't move it ,before it locks up)...anyone have any suggestions/tips for making this work? | 05:07 |
| harovali | virtualbox is failing to compile kernel modules in ubuntu 12.04 LTS. I've been trying to solve this for hours without any luck. Here is the build log. Any hint is welcome http://pastebin.com/SarbeW6h | 05:07 |
| SonikkuAmerica | Baker: If you can live with lightdm-gtk-greeter (the XFCE login screen) of course. | 05:07 |
| ubuntuaddicted | Baker, you can just install ubuntu-desktop and then just choose that as your session when you login | 05:07 |
| Baker | I couldn't because I only had one burnable DVD at the time of downloading studio. I didn't know at the time that it ran X though. | 05:07 |
| Baker | It's a dumb reason, haha. | 05:07 |
| Tm_T | Baker: I mean, you have ubuntustudio installed, just install ubuntu-desktop package | 05:08 |
| Tm_T | no reason to reinstall the whole system | 05:08 |
| Baker | Is it really that easy? | 05:08 |
| SonikkuAmerica | Yeah | 05:08 |
| Tm_T | Baker: yes | 05:08 |
| ubuntuaddicted | WormFood, try the grub boot option nomodeset | 05:08 |
| wilee-nilee | that easy, click it and fahget it | 05:08 |
| kirang89_ | Stameni, The nvidia drivers are quite unstable with ubuntu. 12.04 on my system crashed as well. | 05:09 |
| Baker | Groovy. So what's the command that I put into terminal to get ubuntu-desktop? | 05:09 |
| Tm_T | Baker: "sudo apt-get install ubuntu-desktop" | 05:09 |
| ubuntuaddicted | im running 12.04 with an nvidia 8400gs and running 304.88 | 05:09 |
| Guest67070 | SonikkuAmerica, I know that much. I mean all the orangness in everything else. The gnome colors I want to change. hopefully 13.04 has something like that already or I can find one | 05:09 |
| ltrottier | for the record, the nice people at #vim figured out that it's fish shell | 05:10 |
| WormFood | ok ubuntuaddicted, I'll give it a shot, thanks for the suggestion | 05:10 |
| ubuntuaddicted | Guest67070, changing colors is easy. | 05:10 |
| Guest67070 | ubuntuaddicted, you sure on 13.04? | 05:10 |
| pqatsi | Install Issue: DMRAID devices while using auto install + lvm does not boot. | 05:11 |
| pqatsi | Someone checked something like this | 05:11 |
| pqatsi | ? | 05:11 |
| Quix86- | yaaay | 05:11 |
| Quix86- | it worked | 05:11 |
| rebelrebel | so in order for me to use make i need GCC but how do i install GCC if i dont have a working wifi conenction | 05:12 |
| kirang89_ | Stameni: In the end, I had to reinstall ubuntu all over again | 05:12 |
| ubuntuaddicted | Guest67070, any version of linux you can change colors | 05:12 |
| WormFood | wow ubuntuaddicted, that made it boot really fast, and it seems to work. Thanks a lot! ;) | 05:13 |
| Guest67070 | ubuntuaddicted, but ubuntu has been a pain about it for me. Specailly when I tried to install ubuntu tweak. Wich doesn't seem to work with 13.04 yet | 05:13 |
| Quix86- | uh oh | 05:13 |
| Quix86- | now my taskbar is stuck | 05:13 |
| ubuntuaddicted | WormFood, glad it's working. don't forget to permanently update grub so it always has nomodeset | 05:14 |
| wilee-nilee | Guest67070, You using the tweak ppa? https://launchpad.net/~tualatrix/+archive/ppa | 05:14 |
| WormFood | right. | 05:14 |
| ubuntuaddicted | Guest67070, you don't need ubuntu tweek to change your theme colros | 05:14 |
| SuperDefenderX | I got Ubuntu Tweak running fine | 05:15 |
| SuperDefenderX | Mind you, some of the repos are unavailable | 05:15 |
| Quix86- | guess it's time to go try kde on debian | 05:15 |
| SuperDefenderX | Skype is still giving me headaches. Anyone got it working on 13.04 yet? | 05:16 |
| WormFood | downgrade to skype 4.0 | 05:16 |
| Senor | help with disk full filled | 05:17 |
| wilee-nilee | SuperDefenderX, Is this relevant? http://www.webupd8.org/2013/04/fix-skype-not-working-in-ubuntu-1304.html | 05:17 |
| wrinklemonster | i dont suppose anyone could help me a little with a proxy problem | 05:17 |
| SuperDefenderX | About to find out! Cheers. :) | 05:18 |
| wrinklemonster | i've tried entering a manual proxy multiple times and my network doesnt work after that | 05:18 |
| wilee-nilee | Senor, Does it boot in? | 05:19 |
| WormFood | can I change ubuntu to use an encrypted hard drive, after I've installed ubuntu, or must that be done at the install stage? | 05:19 |
| Senor | my /dev/sda1 is 19G , mount at / , but the tools report / is only 4G ,what is the reason? | 05:19 |
| ubuntuaddicted | Senor, maybe 4G is all that's used or maybe all that's left | 05:20 |
| ubuntuaddicted | WormFood, for your /home/ partition? | 05:20 |
| wilee-nilee | WormFood, https://help.ubuntu.com/community/PostInstallationEncryption | 05:20 |
| Senor | but it report the / is 100% used | 05:20 |
| ubuntuaddicted | Senor, oh, when / is full, you can get funny reports from various programs | 05:21 |
| WormFood | yeah, should just need to be the /home partition | 05:21 |
| WormFood | I'm installing this for a friend, and he mentioned he wanted it encrypted, but when considering the additional overhead, he was giving it 2nd thoughts....so maybe he'll want to convert it in the future. | 05:22 |
| ubuntuaddicted | Senor, did you run sudo apt-get autoclean and sudo apt-get clean and sudo apt-get autoremove? | 05:22 |
| uroyanme | Hi, how do I find out what version of ubuntu I am running. Lol. I am using command line like a secomd semester student and I am te eh newb today | 05:22 |
| ubuntuaddicted | uroyanme, cat /etc/issue | 05:22 |
| Senor | ubuntuaddicted:what what is that? | 05:22 |
| uroyanme | ubuntuaddicted: thanks | 05:22 |
| Quix86- | ubuntuaddicted, there is a simple command for it | 05:22 |
| Quix86- | I was told it earlier today but I don't remember it | 05:23 |
| ubuntuaddicted | Senor, if your / is full, you need to clear out some space. i'm shocked your system even booted up | 05:23 |
| Quix86- | I remember uname -a but that's for kernel | 05:23 |
| Senor | you mean I should clean some temp files? | 05:23 |
| ubuntuaddicted | Quix86-, for what? | 05:23 |
| cfhowlett | uroyanme, lsb_release -a in a terminal will tell you | 05:23 |
| Quix86- | system version number | 05:23 |
| Quix86- | distro wise | 05:23 |
| wrinklemonster | any idea why ubuntu would be showing that every proxy i try is not functional? | 05:23 |
| WormFood | ok, I see now....I can encrypt the entire disk, or just the home directory...that's a nice feature to have (that is easily accessible by normal users) | 05:23 |
| Jdp123321 | I have an inspiron 1300 and when i install ubuntu i do not get wireless. Cant find anything thatll work. Please help | 05:23 |
| cfhowlett | !wifi|Jdp123321, d | 05:24 |
| ubottu | Jdp123321, d: Wireless documentation, including how-to guides and troubleshooting information, can be found at https://help.ubuntu.com/community/WifiDocs | 05:24 |
| WormFood | wrinklemonster, did you check the proxy logs? | 05:24 |
| Quix86- | uroyanme, "lsb_release -a" | 05:24 |
| Senor | If one directory occupy large space ,the tools can report it | 05:24 |
| rebelrebel | cant get ethernet working, so i cant get online to get anything. This is a catch 22, how do you make anything wokr? | 05:24 |
| wrinklemonster | not sure how to private chat wormfood sorry still learning ircs | 05:24 |
| vnc786 | i have added passwd command in a file and saved it as a script but when i click on the script it ask me for three option "Run in terminal" "Display" "Cancel" "Run" | 05:24 |
| ubuntuaddicted | Quix86-, that no different then cat/etc/issue except i guess it does show you the codename | 05:24 |
| vnc786 | how can i make it always "Run in terminal" ??? | 05:24 |
| k1l | Senor: first of all delet older kernels if you have several old ones still installed | 05:24 |
| WormFood | rebelrebel, download network drivers on another machine, and use sneakernet (usb) to get it on the machine. | 05:25 |
| Quix86- | ubuntuaddicted, it's easier :p | 05:25 |
| Senor | I have not | 05:25 |
| wrinklemonster | i've checked to make sure they are online, and i've tried about 40 ptoxies... | 05:25 |
| wrinklemonster | they cant all be offline | 05:25 |
| WormFood | wrinklemonster, type "/query username" to start a private chat with someone | 05:25 |
| rebelrebel | well how do i get the ethernet drivers? It seems everything needs to be complied by the machine doesnt have GCC | 05:25 |
| ubuntuaddicted | Quix86-, how? by 1 letter? lol | 05:25 |
| Quix86- | yes | 05:26 |
| mcc | Hi... here's one. I have a server with Ubuntu 10.04. I want python 2.6 on it. I search google. It says, use add-apt-repository to add a ppa. I try that. It says there's no such program as apt-add-repository. I check Google. It says, install the python-software-properties package. I do. It makes no difference whatsoever, and I still don't have add-apt-repository | 05:26 |

| CaptainShanks | I can get a screen if needed. | 05:26 |

| Senor | ubuntuaddicted:how can I do ? | 05:27 |
| ubuntuaddicted | Senor, do what? | 05:27 |
| Senor | my / is full | 05:27 |
| thomas____ | 12.04 has window snap | 05:27 |
| Senor | I do not know the reason | 05:27 |
| mcc | ubuntuaddicted:neither are installed. the line i found on stackoverflow was sudo add-apt-repository ppa:fkrull/deadsnakes | 05:28 |

| uroyanme | If I lock myself out of ubuntu, can i change the splash rw init=/bin/bash set gfxpayload=$text ? | 05:28 |
| ubuntuaddicted | huh, that's weird because on my 12.04 install, it's sudo apt-add-repository | 05:28 |
| mcc | ubuntuaddicted: as mentioned, neither of these programs appears to exist on my machine | 05:29 |
| mcc | also to my confusion if i run "apt-file list python-software-properties" | 05:29 |
| uroyanme | mcc: check using terminal? | 05:29 |
| mcc | it doesn't appear to install anyting at all except documentation | 05:29 |
| ubuntuaddicted | mcc, then sudo apt-get install add-apt-repository | 05:29 |
| mcc | uroyanne: check what? i only have a terminal | 05:29 |
| mcc | the machine is headless | 05:29 |
| ubuntuaddicted | Senor, can you boot into recovery mode? | 05:30 |
| mcc | ubuntuaddicted, there is no such package; according to every source i've found, the program is installed by the apt-file list python-software-properties package | 05:30 |
| mcc | Considering hand-editing /etc/apt/sources.list | 05:30 |
| mcc | How much will i regret this | 05:30 |
| CaptainShanks | ah, never mind, sorted my problem by logging out and in :P gotta love the IT Crowd methodology | 05:31 |

| Ben64 | CaptainShanks: 1. have you tried turning it off and on again? 2. are you definitely sure it's plugged in? | 05:32 |

| mcc | does that draw from any sources besides /etc/apt/sources.list ? | 05:32 |
| Loshki | mcc: well make a quick backup first and you'll regret it much less. Just a quick cp -r /etc/apt /tmp may save you hours.. | 05:32 |
| ak5 | hey guys, how do I get easy_install on 12.04? It says to install python-setuptools but when I try it says that has no installation candidate | 05:32 |
| Guest67070 | hope ubuntu adopts a more transparent aeroglass theme soon. Then they would tottally be more awsome to look at then 7. And I heard 13.04 handles windows pc games better then any linux distro before it | 05:32 |
| uroyanme | I am going to school for Micro computer tech. We dont do security till next semester. Can someone tell me where I can get back track or something to penetration test my pc? | 05:33 |

| uroyanme | A legit version. | 05:33 |

| ubuntuaddicted | uroyanme, back track or the newest fork of back track is free isn't it? | 05:34 |
| mcc | This isn't 10.04. It's 8.04. | 05:34 |
| Loshki | mcc: yes, I think it also reads /etc/apt/*.d | 05:34 |
| Ben64 | uroyanme: backtrack is free, check google. it's not supported in here though | 05:34 |
| ubuntuaddicted | mcc, lol | 05:34 |
| uroyanme | Ok, Guys | 05:34 |
| uroyanme | you are assuming | 05:34 |
| Baker | So yeah, I ended up trying the regular ubuntu desktop environment with Unity. And I didn't like it, haha. | 05:34 |
| CaptainShanks | @Ben64 bahaha, always gotta force those unexpected reboots | 05:34 |
| rebelrebel | where can i get a gcc.deb package, the debian website is not working for me | 05:34 |
| uroyanme | I am asking because I got a bad version last time, I don't know who makes backtrack | 05:34 |
| * mcc generally does not think she should have to upgrade anything ever :( | 05:34 | |
| woo | Ben64: Kali-Linux is the new bt. BT is gone. | 05:34 |
| Ben64 | uroyanme: sorry, but we can't help you with that | 05:34 |
| ubuntuaddicted | uroyanme, http://www.backtrack-linux.org/ | 05:34 |
| uroyanme | thanks | 05:34 |
| Guest67070 | ubuntuaddicted, no. I just know this guy on youtube was showwing off world of warcraft and how smoothly it was running on ubuntu 13.04 like never before on the ubuntu's before. If this is true it is fantastic news. | 05:34 |
| woo | uroyanme: pm me | 05:35 |
| uroyanme | ubuntuaddicted: thanks. | 05:35 |
| sgo11 | just read ubuntu 13.04 release notes. it says 13.04 will only ship with python3. But most of programs support python2 only. If I install python2 and switch to python2, is that OK? are there any instructions on how to handle this situation in 13.04? thanks. | 05:35 |
| Guest67070 | I love windows 7. But wow raring ringtale has caught my attention. running off live usb right now | 05:35 |
| Ben64 | Guest67070: wow has worked for quite a long time in linux | 05:35 |
| Guest67070 | Ben64, oh...well I thought I heard pc games will run much smoother now on this distro. And yeah wow appearently runs very smoothly now | 05:36 |
| ntzrmtthihu777 | anyone here can tell me if they got wxruby working on 12.04/ruby-1.9.3? I know its kinda a better question for #ruby, but the channel is not moving at all and this seems to be an ubuntu-specific bug | 05:36 |
| Senor | ubuntuaddicted: which command can tell the total size of one directory? | 05:37 |
| Ben64 | Senor: df | 05:38 |
| Ben64 | Senor: oh wait i read that wrong... du | 05:38 |
| Senor | directory | 05:38 |

| MissValeska | I need help! Someone please help me! | 05:39 |
| Ben64 | Senor: nope, du | 05:39 |
| ubuntuaddicted | MissValeska, ask your question | 05:39 |
| ntzrmtthihu777 | !ask | MissValeska | 05:39 |
| ubottu | MissValeska: 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 | 05:39 |
| MissValeska | I've waited like, Four or five hours! The Ubuntu 13.04 upgrade is not worknig | 05:39 |
| Senor | patience | 05:39 |
| Senor | my disk is full | 05:40 |
| ntzrmtthihu777 | and this is why I never use the in-install upgrade. | 05:40 |
| ubuntuaddicted | WOW, startup disk creator says my 4GB flash drive isn't large enough for 13.04 xubuntu which is only 804MB in size | 05:40 |
| ntzrmtthihu777 | ubuntuaddicted: needs 4.3 | 05:40 |
| MissValeska | It has stalled at about half way, It just says installed cabextract | 05:40 |
| Ben64 | Senor: "ls -hoSr" "du" and "find" are your friends | 05:40 |
| k1l | MissValeska: what does "lsb_release -r" give you in terminal? | 05:40 |
| ubuntuaddicted | Senor, are you booted into recovery mode? | 05:40 |
| MissValeska | 13.04 | 05:41 |
| MissValeska | I have teamviewer | 05:41 |
| k1l | MissValeska: oh, the upgrade had started and is not finished? | 05:41 |
| Guest67070 | omg this ubuntu rocks. Its insanely fast on my 2 gb laptop. Hope power cunsomption is less then 12.04 and 12.10 was. | 05:41 |

| k1l | ubuntuaddicted: are you sure its set up properly? | 05:43 |

| ubuntuaddicted | k1l, using startup disk creator within 12.04, i click erase disk on my 4Gb flash drive, choose my 13.04 iso and the GUI says the 4GB flash drive isn't enough space | 05:44 |
| ubuntuaddicted | k1l, oh, i just read this, "When you install Xubuntu from the Desktop CD, you need 4.4 GB of free space on your hard disk" | 05:45 |
| k1l | so its a xubuntu iso | 05:45 |
| theadmin | k1l: That's not related to the image. You'll need exactly as much space as the image size for creating a LiveUSB | 05:45 |
| ubuntuaddicted | k1l, yeah, i said xubuntu from the start | 05:45 |
| theadmin | Err | 05:45 |
| theadmin | ubuntuaddicted: ^ | 05:45 |
| wilee-nilee | ubuntuaddicted, Have you hit ctrl-h and checked if the trash has anything in it? | 05:46 |
| ubuntuaddicted | ntzrmtthihu777, i didn't notice you answered, thanks | 05:46 |
| ntzrmtthihu777 | ubuntuaddicted: no problem. | 05:46 |
| ubuntuaddicted | theadmin, obviously something isn't working. let me check the trash but i don't see how that would matter | 05:47 |
| ubuntuaddicted | theadmin, trash is empty | 05:47 |
| jdp123321_ | wilee-nilee: what do i do? i got cut off so if you said anything i didnt see it. | 05:47 |
| theadmin | ubuntuaddicted: Eh. I never used usb-creator to create bootable USBs. My solution is of simple: sudo dd if=ubuntu-13.04-desktop-amd64.iso of=/dev/sdb | 05:47 |
| stoogle | Hello everyone, I have a dell MD1000 ( HDD Raidaray ) which is plugged into my ubuntu server. It's mounted at 4tb in total. I have just put in an extra 10tb worth of HDD's into the array. However its not recognising them. I take it i have to reallocate the mount, is that correct? | 05:47 |
| wilee-nilee | !b43 | jdp123321_ is all I know | 05:47 |

| jdp123321_ | wilee-nilee: thats the guide im following | 05:48 |
| MissValeska | :( ugh | 05:48 |
| theadmin | ubuntuaddicted: Make sure "sdb" really is your stick, though. | 05:48 |
| wilee-nilee | jdp123321_, I see some specifics on the web with 13.04, however I have never had to install these drivers. | 05:48 |
| ThatOneRoadie | Anyone know if 12.10 -> 13.04 writes any GRUB changes? | 05:48 |
| wilee-nilee | ThatOneRoadie, What s the problem? | 05:49 |
| wilee-nilee | is* | 05:49 |

| ThatOneRoadie | awesome, I'll re-edit grub before I restart | 05:49 |
| stoogle | dont mean to spam and post again: I have a dell MD1000 ( HDD Raidaray ) which is plugged into my ubuntu server. It's mounted at 4tb in total. I have just put in an extra 10tb worth of HDD's into the array. However its not recognising them. I take it i have to reallocate the mount, is that correct? | 05:50 |
| ubuntuaddicted | theadmin, it's not "sdb", where did you get that from? here's a screenshot https://lh4.googleusercontent.com/-3XoOevcDX4U/UXoVhysWIRI/AAAAAAAABv4/-rePbswzIUw/s523/Screenshot%2520-%252004262013%2520-%252012%253A49%253A35%2520AM.png | 05:50 |
| ntzrmtthihu777 | theadmin: thanks for the command, but still makes no diff on a too small device. | 05:50 |
| k1l | ThatOneRoadie: just change the grub config in /etc/defaults to your need. so you dont need that every time | 05:50 |
| theadmin | ntzrmtthihu777: I installed Raring from a 4GB stick, it worked fine | 05:51 |
| ntzrmtthihu777 | ubuntuaddicted: sdb is used for an example here; usually you are currently booted into /dev/sda, so the next device would be sdb | 05:51 |
| ntzrmtthihu777 | theadmin: is that so? | 05:51 |

| ubuntuaddicted | wilee-nilee, right click where, when it's shown in the desktop? | 05:52 |
| ntzrmtthihu777 | ubuntuaddicted: and did you listen? I said in the usb creator | 05:52 |

| ubuntuaddicted | anyway, later guys. thanks for trying to help | 05:53 |
| theadmin | ubuntuaddicted: FWIW, does your stick have multiple partitions on it? If so, that may be the problem. | 05:54 |
| ubuntuaddicted | theadmin, no, it doesn't. | 05:54 |
| theadmin | ubuntuaddicted: Hm... Hamsters. | 05:54 |
| stoogle | no one knows how to introduce extra HDD's to a raid? | 05:54 |
| ThatOneRoadie | stoogle: whether you can or not depends wholly on your raid card | 05:55 |
| ThatOneRoadie | Some RAID Cards allow expansion, others require an array rebuild | 05:55 |
| makara | hi. Is there any way to rename a virtual terminal. I always end up with like 8 terminals all called 'mar@sol' and have to click through them to find wot Im lookin 4 | 05:55 |
| stoogle | its a md1000 raidarray | 05:55 |
| skillpiG | <ubottu> ubuntuaddicted: PLEASE DON'T SHOUT! We can read lowercase too. | 05:55 |

| skillpiG | :D | 05:55 |
| stoogle | and a 2950 dell server | 05:55 |
| ntzrmtthihu777 | makara: yeah, I forget the method but it was a function inserted in my .bashrc | 05:56 |
| ThatOneRoadie | stoogle: Raid version? | 05:56 |
| stoogle | i think its a raid 1...... | 05:56 |
| stoogle | i think, not sure how to check | 05:56 |
| jdp123321 | wilee-nilee:i left out the sudo part and it worked. wierd | 05:57 |
| jdp123321 | how do i find out what wifi driver the system autoloads and blacklist it. than make the b43 wifi driver autoload | 05:57 |
| wilee-nilee | jdp123321, If you open the terminal do you see a # opr $ | 05:58 |
| wilee-nilee | or* | 05:58 |
| jdp123321 | $ | 05:58 |
| wilee-nilee | cool | 05:58 |
| ThatOneRoadie | stoogle: Dell OpenManage will tell you what RAID ## your MD1000 is, and is also the tool to use for expanding (if possible) the array | 05:58 |
| ThatOneRoadie | I know Raid 10 and Raid 6 can't be expanded | 05:59 |
| jdp123321 | wilee-nilee: wifi still doesnt work though. i need to blacklist the current one it says. how do i figure out which one is in use now? | 05:59 |
| stoogle | Thank you Roadie, is that the one also known as "DRAC? | 05:59 |
| wilee-nilee | jdp123321, Not sure to be honest I have never had to mess with wireless stuff luckily. | 06:00 |
| makara | ntzrmtthihu777, not just a way to rename the prompt? | 06:00 |
| ThatOneRoadie | No, the DRAC is Lights-out management on dell servers | 06:00 |
| jdp123321 | anyone know how to see the currently loaded wifi driver and blacklist it? | 06:00 |
| Immatix | Does anyone know if the vulnerability in tinc (http://www.debian.org/security/2013/dsa-2663) affects Ubuntu as well? | 06:01 |
| makara | that could get ugly | 06:01 |
| theadmin | jdp123321: If in a GUI, click the Network Manager's icon and choose "Connection information", then look at the driver field | 06:01 |
| ThatOneRoadie | stoogle: see http://en.community.dell.com/techcenter/systems-management/w/wiki/1757.dell-openmanage-systems-management-tools.aspx | 06:01 |
| theadmin | Immatix: Considering Ubuntu imports Debian upstream, it's likely. I'd check the changelog for the package in Ubuntu just to be sure, though. | 06:03 |
| Immatix | theadmin: I'm guessing no, the most recent entry in the changelog for Precise is from 23 Jul 2011 | 06:06 |
| theadmin | ...I don't even, Precise was released in 2012 so how is that even possible | 06:06 |
| theadmin | Oh well | 06:07 |
| jdp123321 | trying to connect to wifi. it sees the network, i click it, enter the password, but it wont connect? | 06:07 |

| wilee-nilee | fluo75, You familiar with the uefi wiki? | 06:15 |
| theadmin | fluo75: Is it 64-bit? | 06:15 |
| marcusk | theadmin: It depends. I have several files in my home directory that have different group owners by design. | 06:15 |
| theadmin | fluo75: Only 64-bit versions of Ubuntu support UEFI. | 06:15 |
| theadmin | marcusk: Ah, well, that's a rare case | 06:15 |
| fluo75 | Yes 64 bit version. (ubuntu-gnome version) | 06:16 |
| theadmin | fluo75: Where did you find that, by the way? I can't find any wobsite for that edition of any sort | 06:17 |
| wilee-nilee | theadmin, There is gnome only spin | 06:18 |
| theadmin | wilee-nilee: Yeah I know, which is what I'm asking, what's the site/page for it? | 06:18 |
| wilee-nilee | I figured you probably knew. ;) | 06:18 |
| ntzrmtthihu777 | you may like xubuntu. I've fallen in love, its soooooo lightweight and customizable | 06:19 |

| ntzrmtthihu777 | blech. oh well, to each his own ;) | 06:20 |
| jimg | Hi, upgrading from 12.10 to 13.04 and machine has frozen (mouse and keyboard). It happened at "Replace the customised configuration file '/etc/gnome/defaults.list'?" while I was scrolling through the diff | 06:23 |
| jimg | Any advice? | 06:23 |
| theadmin | jimg: Happened to me too. What I did was a hard reset, followed by "sudo dpkg --configure -a ; sudo apt-get -f install ; sudo apt-get dist-upgrade". It may not work well for you, though, but it did for me | 06:24 |
| skillpiG | theadmin - you appear to be a guru in these quarters | 06:25 |
| ntzrmtthihu777 | jimg: yes. have a separate /home partition and never use the upgrade. re-install, do *not* tell it to use the /home partition, then after install is complete edit the fstab to automount the /home partition. | 06:25 |
| theadmin | skillpiG: Well, I've been using Ubuntu a lot since Intrepid | 06:25 |
| skillpiG | I recently upgraded my mobo/cpu etc and I ran into some problems | 06:25 |
| jimg | theadmin: thanks. I thought I might be able to try something before a hard reset but I'll give that a try | 06:25 |
| skillpiG | the one core is at 100% the whole time and I struggle to use the mouse :/ | 06:25 |
| skillpiG | this was in 12.10 x64 | 06:25 |

| Immatix | hmm https://launchpad.net/ubuntu/+source/tinc | 06:26 |

| ThatOneRoadie | for 13.10, the default kernel is 3.8.0-19 yes? | 06:27 |
| jimg | ntzrmtthihu777: just so I'm clear are you saying that it is much safer to reinstall Ubuntu every release, rather than upgrade? | 06:27 |
| tomreyn | is it correct that the ubuntu-partner repository no longer provides adobe-flash? | 06:28 |
| skillpiG | don't worry theadmin - I'm sure it will be patched or fixed with 13.04, I was dual booting win8 and 12.10 | 06:28 |
| Ben64 | ThatOneRoadie: #ubuntu+1 for 13.10 | 06:28 |

| ntzrmtthihu777 | jimg: I have lost track of how many folk I see in here asking the very same question you did. | 06:28 |
| skillpiG | so I'll just wait it out, atleast my laptop is running ubuntu fine at work :> | 06:28 |

| jimg | ntzrmtthihu777: Interesting to know. Thanks | 06:29 |
| theadmin | ThatOneRoadie: Indeed. | 06:29 |
| ntzrmtthihu777 | jimg: and make sure you do *not* choose to use the /home partition durin the partitioning; as it will overwrite your $HOME dir if you chose the same username. | 06:29 |
| Ben64 | ThatOneRoadie: good, because 13.10 isn't even started yet | 06:29 |
| jimg | ntzrmtthihu777: got it | 06:29 |
| theadmin | ntzrmtthihu777: Huhwha? No it won't, the installer reuses existing user directories if possible. Well, unless you tell it to format /home of course. | 06:30 |
| * ThatOneRoadie prays the SAN install completed | 06:30 | |
| cebor | how can i activate ubuntu-webapps @ 13.04, must i install the ppa ?? with google-chrome | 06:30 |
| ThatOneRoadie | otherwise this upgrade is going to be a royal pain | 06:31 |
| ntzrmtthihu777 | theadmin: I was very specific in not telling it to format it, but still my stuff vanished. | 06:31 |
| theadmin | ntzrmtthihu777: That's very odd, I did an install a while ago and it kept everything, same username | 06:31 |
| ntzrmtthihu777 | perhaps a bug, or maybe a human error on my part, but it takes very little skill to change a line in /etc/fstab | 06:31 |
| theadmin | cebor: Chrome isn't supported by Ubuntu at all | 06:31 |
| ntzrmtthihu777 | and so I feel much safer with it in my hands than in the hands of the machine. | 06:32 |
| ThatOneRoadie | theadmin: there's a version of chrome out for ubuntu o.O | 06:32 |

| tomreyn | ntzrmtthihu777: it downloads it from the ubuntu partner repository, which, we assume, will not get any updates. | 06:46 |

| theadmin | Anyway, I'll be back soon. | 06:48 |
| theadmin | Maybe. | 06:48 |
| tomreyn | theadmin, ntzrmtthihu777: so my point is: if canonical dropped support via their partner repositories, then, to get security updates, they would need to be downloded from adobe, not canonical's partner repository. but flashplugin-installer loads it from canonicals' partner repository, at least currently. | 06:49 |

| Foowie | Hello, I've tried to install 13.04 on my ASUS M50V notebook. I've created bootable USB, plugged in and restarted PC. When I selected USB device to boot from the message "bug: soft lockup - cpu#0 stuck for 22s!" shown and I'm not able to do anythink with that. Anybody can help? I've read something about use of older versions of kernels, but how? | 08:26 |
| Walex | chaos7theory: you have made two statements :-) | 08:26 |
| Ben64 | Walex: be helpful if you're going to respond | 08:26 |
| === barismetin_ is now known as x23lls | ||
| === Wug is now known as Wug[Hyperspace] | ||
| Walex | Foowie: it could be any sort of slight compatibility issue between the laptop chipset and the kernel. There are very many variants. You can rebuild the bootable USB image with a different kernel version, but it is not trivial. If possible try to disable as many peripherals as you can in the BIOS in case the bug is related to accessing one of them. | 08:30 |
| bentinata | can somebody give me little help? | 08:31 |
| JonasF_ | Hi, after upgrade to 13.04 and pm-suspend + wakeup, my fan doesn't turn off any more. How can I fix this? | 08:32 |
| Foowie | Walex: Thanks, I'll try this. Is it also solution to install 12.10 and do upgrade to 13.04 or the problem after upgrade will remain? | 08:33 |
| Walex | JonasF_: either by debugging the related kernel module, or by checking whether you can turn it off manually and then putting that command in a script run on wakeup. Suspend is often a tricky operations.... | 08:33 |
| skillpiG | hapl :[ | 08:33 |
| skillpiG | Walex, hapl | 08:33 |
| bentinata | can somebody give me little help? | 08:34 |
| skillpiG | do you know the degrees of requiring aid ? | 08:34 |
| skillpiG | it starts with 'help' | 08:34 |
| Walex | Foowie: if it is a kernel bug in the 13.04 kernel it will happen no matter how you install it. | 08:34 |
| skillpiG | then forms over time to 'halp' | 08:34 |
| bentinata | what is the permission for /etc/dhcp/dhclient.conf | 08:34 |

| skillpiG | then ends up on the fast typed 'hapl' | 08:34 |
| Foowie | Walex: ok, thanks :] | 08:34 |
| Neozonz | ok so I added two sh scripts to /etc/rc.local | 08:34 |
| Neozonz | but it doesnt look like they are executing? | 08:35 |
| bentinata | what is the permission for /etc/dhcp/dhclient.conf | 08:35 |
| Walex | bentinata: usually u=rw,og=r | 08:35 |
| Walex | Neozonz: have they 'x' permission and usually '#!/bin/sh' as the first line? | 08:35 |
| bentinata | Walex: so 644? | 08:36 |
| skillpiG | Walex - do you have some knowledge about hardware support of ubuntu (specifically 12.10)? | 08:36 |
| skillpiG | specifically about processors | 08:36 |
| Walex | skillpiG: it is usually considered rude to ask specific questions to specific people. Ask the channel a question and if someone wants to answer you are lucky... | 08:36 |
| Neozonz | Walex, both scripts have +X, and the rc.local has #!/bin/sh -e | 08:36 |
| Neozonz | do the scripts have to have #!/bin/sh -e in the top too? | 08:37 |
| Walex | Neozonz: yes, and usually without the '-e' (which I think should not be in '/etc/rc.local' either). | 08:37 |
| Speiros | Can someone help me with installation of a new printer to my computer. I run Ubuntu 10.4, and I'm trying to install a canon mx396. WINE doesn't execute the exe. files. | 08:37 |
| Walex | Neozonz: actually "yes" is a bit too strong. | 08:37 |
| skillpiG | Walex - apologies, I enjoyed your quick responses to the people in here and didn't want to bother the rest | 08:38 |
| skillpiG | not too much :] | 08:38 |
| Walex | Speiros: why are you asking a question about MS-Windows EXEs in an ubuntu channel? | 08:38 |
| bentinata | Walex: thanks :) | 08:38 |
| Neozonz | Walex, ? is there anyway I can test the rc.local script without rebooting? | 08:38 |
| Walex | Neozonz: $ /etc/rc.local | 08:38 |
| Walex | Neozonz: actually more properly | 08:38 |
| Walex | Neozonz: $ sudo /etc/rc.local | 08:39 |
| Speiros | Walex, I have ubuntu installed, and I want to load a printer. I have used WINE before, which would open the drivers (the exe. files) which are windows operated, but it doesn't work. | 08:39 |
| skillpiG | anyone in here using an AMD FX-8350 on Ubuntu (specifically 12.10) and having problems with 100% utilization after a fresh installation? | 08:39 |
| Walex | Speiros: why do you want to use MS-Windows drivers for a Ubuntu system? | 08:39 |
| Speiros | walex I don't. But the printer comes with exe. files, and wine used to open them once upon a time. | 08:40 |
| Speiros | walex I just want my printer and scanner to work. | 08:40 |
| [deXter] | SpindizZzy, Printers/scanners generally work automatically, if they don't you'll have to look for a linux version of the driver. you can't install windows drivers in linux (not directly, anyways) | 08:40 |
| Walex | Speiros: that's rather the wrong approach.... The Ubuntu prin system is CUPS, and the scanner system is SANE, so you want a CUPS driver and a SANE driver. | 08:41 |
| endiny | Hello everyone | 08:41 |
| Speiros | walex thanks. So I type them into the ubuntu software centre? | 08:41 |
| Walex | Speiros: however some MFP manufacturer like HP and IIRC also Canon supply integrated packages that contain Ubuntu drivers. | 08:41 |
| Walex | Speiros: so if printer/scanner are not configured automatically you need to do some web search with the keywords above. | 08:42 |
| Walex | Speiros: the CUPS drivers are also called sometimes "foomatic" drivers or "PPD"s. | 08:42 |
| Neozonz | how to i port forward using ufw? | 08:43 |
| Walex | Speiros: Software Centre might help actually. Just search for canon drivers and look into the list of what is found. | 08:43 |
| Speiros | walex I see. Thanks, I'll have a look, and come back:) | 08:43 |
| Neozonz | /sbin/iptables -t nat -A PREROUTING -p tcp --dport 80 -j REDIRECT --to-ports 9327 I ran this on a machine, but after reboot it doesnt seem to stick... should i add it to rc.local? | 08:43 |
| Walex | Neozonz: '/etc/rc.local' is one way. | 08:44 |
| Speiros | walex Thanks mate. | 08:44 |
| Neozonz | what is the proper way? | 08:44 |
| Neozonz | lol | 08:44 |
| jony | how can I install the "gs-esp" package? | 08:44 |
| Walex | Neozonz: BTW i particularly like 'ferm' rather than 'ufw'. | 08:44 |
| gustav | Upgrading to Raring was not a good idea... | 08:45 |
| Walex | Neozonz: ideally as you surmised you would use a package that configures all of 'iptables' for you, as direct use is a bit tricky. | 08:45 |
| Walex | JonasF_: 'sudo apt-get install ...' | 08:45 |
| Neozonz | so there is no ufw command for port forwarding? | 08:46 |
| endiny | Neozonz: btw, you can watch about /etc/iptables.rules | 08:46 |
| Walex | Neozonz: no idea here, perhaps someone else would know, but 'ufw' questions are a bit of a narrow subject. | 08:46 |
| Neozonz | endiny, that file doesnt exist on my machine | 08:46 |
| Walex | Neozonz: on IRC success in getting answers is proportional to how popular the topic of the question is. | 08:47 |

| HeKToN | on 13.04 ? | 09:20 |
| yahyaa | I thoght this was a support chat forum! | 09:20 |
| yahyaa | is it not? | 09:20 |
| Walex | Evolve: 'tmpfs' is the same as for '/dev/shm' or '/run' | 09:20 |
| HeKToN | yahyaa, it is but unfortunatelly In PC`s world when there is an issue the possible reasons are not just one | 09:20 |
| Walex | yahyaa: have you got a Platinum Account number? :-) | 09:20 |
| ANub | !help | 09:21 |
| ubottu | 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 | 09:21 |
| yahyaa | no I don't what is that? | 09:21 |
| hke | hi folks, 12.04 here. i have unity and xfce installed, but only use unity. however, it keeps using the xfce notifyd, how can i make it use notify-osd? | 09:21 |
| ANub | !isitout | 09:22 |
| ubottu | YES! It's out! | 09:22 |
| Walex | yahyaa: it is a way to remind you of what HeKToN says... that only a Platinum Account entitles you to an answer within four hours :-), or else you got to do a bit of work too :-) | 09:22 |
| yahyaa | so if you did not know the answer, then y r you responding to my question? | 09:24 |
| jony | I got the following erron when I want to install a printer driver: Dependency is not satisfiable: gs-esp. Please help! | 09:24 |
| yahyaa | If I could figure this out myself I would, however I am new to Linux!!! | 09:24 |
| HeKToN | me too but after 5 times of hearing what Walex is saying you start actually trying to ask more straight questions after some basic research or more advanced if possible | 09:25 |
| hke | jony: try sudo "apt-get install -f" in a terminal | 09:26 |
| hke | jony and do a "sudo apt-get update" before that | 09:26 |
| Walex | yahyaa: sure, but like with MS-Windows you have to do some bit of work yourself, or else pay a lot of money for someone to do it for you. For example searching for: shutdown ubuntu macbook pro | 09:27 |
| jony | hke, it does not help | 09:27 |
| Walex | yahyaa: what we can do is to put you in the right direction | 09:27 |

| HeKToN | on 13.04 what this folder direcotory`s path is ~/.kde4/share/config/plasma-desktop-appletsrc? | 09:28 |
| Walex | denet: would you trust a key fingerprint given by a random user on IRC? :-) | 09:28 |

| jolaren | I'm trying to join #apache but I can't .. so I'll ask the question here since it's a Ubuntu system. I have problems with UTF-8 in domain name.. and I've added charset.. and system locales | 09:31 |
| Walex | denet: your ISP is pretty sleazy! | 09:32 |
| voytas | hey guys | 09:32 |
| HeKToN | me too If after I restart now my drivers are not screwed up :D | 09:32 |
| voytas | I really need your help | 09:32 |
| Walex | jolaren: what makes you think that you can use UTF-8 in domain names? | 09:32 |
| voytas | I have just installed Ubuntu from a USB stick but it was installed on the same disk partition as windows 8, I want to uninstall Ubuntu | 09:33 |
| voytas | how can i do it? | 09:33 |
| ANub | <voytas> you can use windows 8 installation disk to remove partition | 09:34 |
| Walex | w 2 | 09:34 |
| jolaren | Walex: IDN characters can't be displayed as utf-8? :/ how are they displayed otherwise without punny Walex ? | 09:34 |
| voytas | you mean run this usb again ? | 09:34 |
| ANub | <voytas> No. I mean if you want to have Windows again .....then use Windows setup DVD / CD | 09:35 |
| voytas | I have windows because I installed Ubuntu along Windows | 09:35 |
| voytas | I just want to get rid of ubuntu | 09:35 |
| HeKToN | ok I managed to remove it from the task bar by dragging it on the desktop but now I can`t remove it from the desktop and this drives me crazy! | 09:36 |
| Walex | jolaren: IDN is not UTF-8, it is ASCII. | 09:36 |
| ANub | <voytas> you can go to windows Control-panel-----Disk- Management option and remove ubuntu partition | 09:36 |
| voytas | But the problem is that I have installed it on the Windows partition | 09:37 |
| jolaren | Walex: So how would you go on solving that? | 09:37 |
| Walex | jolaren: depends what the problem is. Probably the problem is that your browser cannot *display* IDN domains in non-ASCII form. | 09:38 |
| ANub | <voytas> yeah this is what i said earlier..........your windows is out.....and you want it back......then install Windows again | 09:38 |
| jolaren | Walex: works fine in everything but IE | 09:38 |
| voytas | No, no, no. You don't get it. I am now using Windows. I have two systems on 1 partition. | 09:38 |
| === fpk^away is now known as flashingpumpkin | ||
| Walex | jolaren: ahhahahahhahahahahahahahaha please don't mention IE in this channel. Oh my! :-) | 09:39 |
| HeKToN | :D | 09:39 |
| ANub | <voytas> 2 systems on 1 partition.......hmm.........thats new to me.....how did you do that | 09:39 |
| jolaren | Walex: My customeers might be using it :D Chrome 17 says has no support for idn in characters? | 09:39 |
| Walex | jolaren: also anyhow there are very many variants of that-which-shall-not-be-mentioned, who knows what each does | 09:39 |
| jolaren | but I agree.. why choose windows when linux offers you a full house | 09:40 |
| HeKToN | I`ll tell you ANub - it`s VMware :D | 09:40 |
| jolaren | better terminal yourself with 'whatis microsoft' from time to time | 09:40 |
| ANub | <HeKToN> lol.....yeah may be | 09:40 |
| voytas | I chose to install it along Windows and chose my hard drive (there was no option to choose which partition to use) and just intalled it | 09:40 |
| === jolaren is now known as jolaren-jobb | ||
| voytas | and when I start my computer I can choose between which system I want to use | 09:41 |
| Walex | jolaren: if for example your IDN domain name looks good in ASCII and then gets diseconded correctly by Firefox etc. then it is good, and then it is a bug in other browsers. | 09:41 |
| Walex | jolaren-jobb: consider also testing it with 'http://ipduh.com/dns/' | 09:42 |
| ANub | <voytas> if your loader is Windows ...then go to boot.ini and see how many boot lines options there....and what are the partitions | 09:42 |
| ANub | <voytas> I think Ubuntu boot disk auto-created partition for you ....but you are unaware of it | 09:42 |
| jolaren | Walex: It looks really strange | 09:43 |
| Walex | jolaren-jobb: consider also looking at these tests: http://idn.icann.org/ | 09:43 |
| jolaren | Walex: like it can't display my signs | 09:43 |
| Walex | jolaren: for me both display fine in the address bar and page content in Firefox | 09:43 |
| Walex | jolaren: but they display encoded in 'chromium-browser'. Obviously the latter does not support IDN or has it switched off. | 09:45 |
| jolaren | Walex: if you type in "xn--kbenhavntmrer-bnbi.dk" in there it displays really funky | 09:45 |
| yahyaa | forget I asked, I am just going to format and reinstall windows 8, then I won't have to worry about these problems! | 09:46 |
| Twenty-three | hi guys, i upgraded to 13.04 this morning and the upgrade was aborted when the progress bar(?) was around 60%. it claimed "desktop had failed". anyway, after rebooting i didn't notice any problems at all, i opened the software manager and it said some things were broken and it wouldn't install anything new until that was fixed, i clicked on the button to fix and then everything went back to... | 09:46 |
| Twenty-three | ..."normal" no issues at all, but i'm concerned about it being aborted and i wish to know whether there is a way to verify the install has succeeded or whether it can be finalised properly | 09:46 |
| yahyaa | good bye liux! | 09:46 |
| Walex | jolaren: http://www.chromium.org/developers/design-documents/idn-in-google-chrome "all browsers try to protect against homograph attacks by displaying punycode instead of the original IDN if the hostname does not fulfill certain properties" | 09:46 |

| Kquarkq | hi | 09:53 |
| Speiros | walex thanks anyway. I couldn't get the printer/scanner working. I don't understand enough of anything typed in here, as to where to type it, what to type,...too much info. I'm burnt out by the stupid companies doing this to linux, and believe a class action should be started by linux against organisations such as canon, hp, microsoft, apple, and anyone else for deliberately causing frustration by not putting the drivers on an autorun prompt on a cd wi | 09:58 |
| Speiros | th their products. | 09:58 |
| BlueEagle | niners: To me this sounds like an issue with Netflix. Have you tried their home page or support channel for info? | 09:59 |
| denet | Is it still supported to boot ubuntu like this: http://pastebin.com/b3cmD3xX | 09:59 |
| niners | BlueEagle: no I have not... They dont support linix so I never figured there was a point ya know | 10:00 |
| BlueEagle | niners: Ahh. Well you could also try #wine if noone in here gives anything useful. | 10:00 |

| tkmostt | bluetooth settings image http://imagebin.org/255449 | 10:33 |
| Walex | tkmostt: for Bluetooth settings to work the bluetooth service must be running *and* as your screenshot shows there must be at least one recognized adapter. Probably the latter is the issue. | 10:37 |
| Neozonz | this is strange, everytime i run my rc.local script to execute my daemon... my daemon runs and creates a new data directory under \<daemondatadir> | 10:37 |
| Walex | Neozonz: that is probably how you dæmon is configured to do | 10:37 |
| tkmostt | Walex: anything that i should do...i don't know much regarding this | 10:37 |
| Neozonz | Walex, so I should move my files to | 10:38 |

| tkmostt | Walex: i am running dual boot with win7 and in win7 bluetooth is working | 10:38 |
| michael_irc | hi | 10:38 |
| Neozonz | the thing is if i run /etc/rc.local after logging in, it starts fine | 10:38 |

| chuckly | I trying to install ubuntu on old monitor with HDMI. The screen says no signal after the splash. The VGA boot works OK and also works using another more recent monitor | 10:39 |
| tkmostt | Walex: the PC is a laptop and it has broadcom bluetooth chip | 10:39 |
| Dr_willis | chuckly, the grub menu is usinbg some res the monitor dosent like. change it in /etc/default/grub | 10:39 |
| === lin is now known as Guest67271 | ||
| tkmostt | Walex: it was working in ubuntu 12.04 and for sometime in 12.10 as well iirc | 10:40 |
| chuckly | there is command I used in grub which helped me resolve resolution issues started with d | 10:40 |
| chuckly | I think | 10:40 |
| Dr_willis | chuckly, /etc/default/grub mentions some tools like that. Or just set grub to use a text type menu | 10:41 |
| Walex | tkmostt: have you tried searching with "brodcom bluetooth ubuntu"? there are a few entries that might be relevant. | 10:41 |
| tkmostt | Walex: ok i will check more on it and then return.....thanks :) | 10:42 |
| michael_irc | hi | 10:42 |
| Walex | tkmostt: as for many/most peripherals questions there are so many variants, and so many are not supported that it is usually necessary to do a fair bit of investigation. Usually it is best to choose peripherals that are known to work easily rather than find ways to get random variants to work. | 10:42 |
| chuckly | Dr_willis: found this link. Will try it http://askubuntu.com/questions/127851/change-boot-screen-resolution | 10:43 |
| Walex | tkmostt: for example consider this: http://askubuntu.com/questions/193482/broadcom-bluetooth-device-remains-undetected-bcm2046-widcomm | 10:43 |
| chuckly | Dr_willis - The monitor is quite old so not sure if it supports HDCP. Is this a problem? | 10:44 |

| andrew_46 | michael_irc: Don't forget the / :) | 10:46 |
| Walex | tkmostt: if you really need Bluetooth a very cheap option is a USB dongle, they can be very small and nearly all use a chipset with a standard driver | 10:46 |

| michael_irc | michael_irc | 10:47 |
| michael_irc | NICK <michael_irc> | 10:48 |

| Walex | tkmostt: the usual reason is indeed that hw manufacturers do too many slightly incompatible variants of the same stuff, without any good reason | 10:49 |
| tkmostt | ok :) | 10:49 |

| Derfol | hi | 10:54 |
| Walex | tkmostt: then if the service is running it is really a driver problem. | 10:54 |
| BlueEagle | xgeek: If you mount it from the command line add the appropriate options wiht the -o flag. If it is listed in fstab then add it to the list of options there. | 10:55 |
| Derfol | where official canonical forums | 10:55 |
| Derfol | ? | 10:55 |
| BlueEagle | xgeek: `man mount` for a list of options. | 10:56 |
| Walex | xgeek: you use mount options to give default ownership of NTFS files to you and default permisions. | 10:56 |
| tkmostt | Walex: ok i will try to sort it out .. :) | 10:56 |
| xgeek | but i simply mount using nautilus | 10:56 |
| Walex | xgeek: Nautilus will use default options from '/etc/fstab' | 10:56 |

| paluchlab-iMac | I would like to burn the ubuntu iso to a cd so that I can boot from it. This mac will not mount the disk image and I am not sure if it means the file is corrupt or there is another error. | 11:05 |
| BlueEagle | !md5sum | paluchlab-iMac: Please check the MD5 sum | 11:06 |
| ubottu | paluchlab-iMac: Please check the MD5 sum: 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 | 11:06 |
| Dr_willis | paluchlab-iMac, use a disk burning tool that can handle image files.. theres no need to mount the iso. be sure to verify the md5 sum of the ISO to prove its a good download | 11:06 |

| paluchlab-iMac | I ran md5 ubuntu...iso and it gave me a result, but now I'm not sure where to find the provided value. | 11:08 |
| cfhowlett | paluchlab-iMac, hash sum's are on the ISO download page. | 11:08 |
| paluchlab-iMac | cfhowlett: link please? The download page I am on does not have the sum on it. | 11:09 |
| paluchlab-iMac | So the standard download page does not have the hashes. You have to go to releases.ubuntu.com | 11:13 |

| g105b | how do I use gparted or similar to have a separate partition for a particular directory? | 11:59 |
| usr13 | g105b: Do you have some free space to put it on? | 11:59 |
| brodymcd | hi all - after MUCH frustration with UEFI on a new Dell XPS 8500 preinstalled with Win8, I just turned the bios to legacy mode and blew out the Win8 drive. I added a second SATA drive to put linux on. It worked (grub was in effect) but then for some reason after an update or what not it stopped working. I'm starting over. What do I need to know to avoid problems? I thought I'd have to choose the HD from the bios boot order each tim | 11:59 |
| theadmin | g105b: Create a partition. Assign a mountpoint via /etc/fstab | 11:59 |
| g105b | usr13: yeah, I've made a partition in gparted, but I don't know how to tell it to mount the directory | 11:59 |
| brodymcd | How does grub kick in across 2 different HDs and such? This is my first new computer in 5 years - is this because of SATA? | 12:00 |
| Shogoot | So, I installed vsftp. chroot_local_user=YES, chroot_list_enable=NO ,anonymous_enable=NO, local_enable=YES . Then i added user and made password. i connect to ftp via plan old ftp and im looking at an empty directory and i cannot change that directory. that is fine, but where in my directory structure am I? I Made a test file in the users homedirectory, but i cannot see that on the ftp client. Is it because i dont have rights to the directory as user or | 12:00 |
| Shogoot | am i looking at an entirely different directory? A helping had helpt me a bit, conversation here:http://paste.ubuntu.com/5604363/ | 12:00 |
| usr13 | g105b: You'll need to edit /etc/fstab and make an entry for it, (if you want to permanently mount it. | 12:00 |
| brodymcd | Ultimately I just want to dual boot Win8 and Linux off the 2 drives... can anyone help? | 12:00 |
| ActionParsnip | brodymcd: do you mean a RAID? | 12:00 |
| theadmin | g105b: The syntax is similar to this: /dev/sda1 /mnt ext4 defaults (filesystem_location mount_point filesystem_type mount_options) | 12:00 |
| ActionParsnip | brodymcd: or do you have one OS on one, and another OS on the other | 12:01 |
| wdonkey_ | brodymcd: i've user bootrepair and it fixed my problem once | 12:01 |
| wdonkey_ | having ubuntu on the SSD and win8 on the HDD | 12:02 |
| usr13 | g105b: But if you just want to temporarily mount it, create a mount point, (something you need to do anyway), and mount it with command: sudo mount /dev/sda6 /home/g105b/data | 12:02 |
| wdonkey_ | you gotta make sure the grub partition is on the same drive as the win8s' | 12:02 |
| brodymcd | ActionParsnip: It isn't on raid, and yes, I want one OS on each drive - tried doing the boot repair thing before and it drove me nuts couldn't get it to work under uefi | 12:02 |
| g105b | theadmin: what's dump and pass? | 12:02 |
| usr13 | g105b: sda6 and /home/g105b/data are hypotheticals | 12:02 |
| theadmin | g105b: Optional things and I have no idea what they mean | 12:03 |
| g105b | theadmin, usr13: thanks a lot | 12:03 |
| usr13 | g105b: The mount point is just a directory that you create, (and name appropriately), like /home/g105b/data or /home/g105b/Videos etc... | 12:04 |
| Tha_Duck | Hi. I have downloaded ubuntu-13.04-desktop-amd64+mac.iso. Can't get it on an USB stick using the Pen Drive Linux USB Installer. Only the normal amd64 is recognized. Is there a workaround for that? | 12:04 |
| iorweth | My hdmi sound-output doesnt work. I an see picture on my tv but no sound - it doesnt show in the settings. Yesterday I was using 13.04 daily build and there it worked, upgraded this morning, and now it doesnt work. | 12:04 |
| usr13 | Tha_Duck: Why can't you get it on a USB stick? | 12:05 |
| theadmin | Tha_Duck: Not with that tool. Use this: https://launchpad.net/win32-image-writer | 12:05 |
| theadmin | usr13: It has a predefined set of supported distributions and the image used must be one of those | 12:05 |
| usr13 | theadmin: I see. Thanks for the information | 12:05 |
| Tha_Duck | usr13; the .iso is not recognized. I renamed it to remove the +mac and then it is found by the tool. After putting it on the USB stick i can't boot :( | 12:06 |
| usr13 | Tha_Duck: You might find http://unetbootin.sourceforge.net/ interesting. | 12:06 |
| Kquarkq | I do with Rmprepusb with easy2boot v1 | 12:07 |
| Tha_Duck | usr13: looks nice. Also tried the linux live usb creator in the meanwhile and that is also working. But today I have a Windows client, tomorrow a Mac again :P | 12:08 |
| Tha_Duck | And unetboot is also for the mac | 12:08 |
| brodymcd | i would think that having win8 on one hd and linux on #2 would work if you just picked which one to boot from the bios boot order but i guess not? frustrating | 12:08 |
| brodymcd | would it work better if i installed linux first? | 12:09 |
| Kquarkq | i removed the dot from 13.04 from the name im preparation for rmprepusb and easy2boot | 12:09 |
| yeats | brodymcd: much easier to install Windows first, then use grub for booting both | 12:09 |
| theadmin | brodymcd: No, Windows would overwrite the bootloader | 12:09 |
| usr13 | brodymcd: Another alternative might be to just run MS Windows in virtualbox. | 12:10 |
| emocan | saaa | 12:10 |
| usr13 | !virtualbox | brodymcd | 12:10 |
| ubottu | brodymcd: Virtualbox is a virtualizer for x86 and amd64 architectures. It's available in the package "virtualbox" in the !repositories, and you can download the Virtualbox Extension Pack for additional, non-Free functionality at http://virtualbox.org . Additional details can be found at https://help.ubuntu.com/community/VirtualBox | 12:10 |
| Kquarkq | omg, i do smart update command ;O | 12:11 |
| brodymcd | yeats - so if i have 2 hds and really don't care about anything other than dual booting win8 and linux, what's my order or business? I did the boot repair thing before and it only lasted as long as through one reset cycle, then windows would somehow eat things up and leave me broken again | 12:11 |
| usr13 | brodymcd: Does this PC have options to boot to more than just one drive? | 12:12 |
| usr13 | brodymcd: (May be that it just reverted to boot the other drive.) | 12:13 |

| DarsVaeda | how do I properly install programs manually? In my case I want to install eclipse juno...so I copy the downloaded folder to "/usr/lib/eclipse" then make a symlink to "/usr/bin/eclipse" for the executable and setup a link for the launche (don't know how to do that yet) | 12:17 |
| DarsVaeda | is that an appropriate way? | 12:17 |
| theadmin | DarsVaeda: Don't touch /usr, use /usr/local for stuff outside of packages. | 12:18 |
| brainwash | or /opt | 12:18 |
| usr13 | DarsVaeda: ln -s | 12:19 |
| DarsVaeda | ok so I also do not symlink to usr/bin? | 12:19 |
| usr13 | DarsVaeda: see man ln | 12:19 |
| usr13 | DarsVaeda: That's up to you. | 12:19 |
| usr13 | DarsVaeda: Just be sure it's in your path. | 12:19 |
| DarsVaeda | in my path? | 12:20 |
| usr13 | $PATH | 12:20 |
| theadmin | DarsVaeda: /usr/local is better for several reasons. Packages won't overwrite it, shall you decide to reinstall Ubuntu to the same partitition, the installer won't touch it either. | 12:20 |
| DarsVaeda | okay I see thanks | 12:21 |

| wctaiwan | I'm using Ubuntu 12.10 on a ThinkPad X220i with Intel Wireless-N 1000. At school we have a WPA2 / PEAP network. I can connect to it fine when the computer boots, but after a few minutes it drops. dmesg shows that it's timing out authenticating. | 12:23 |
| wctaiwan | I can't reconnect unless I reboot--restarting network-manager or bringing wlan0 down and then up don't work | 12:23 |
| ActionParsnip | wctaiwan: what driver module does the wifi use? | 12:23 |
| wctaiwan | iwlwifi. | 12:23 |
| wctaiwan | I tried using wicd instead of network manager, but that one didn't connect when I woke the computer up from suspend (says bad password) | 12:24 |
| ActionParsnip | wctaiwan: tried: echo "options iwlwifi 11n_disable=0" | sudo tee /etc/modprobe.d/iwlwifi.conf > /dev/null | 12:24 |
| wctaiwan | tried that, don't think it helps :/ | 12:25 |
| ActionParsnip | wctaiwan: or try with =1 if it's not good (unload and reload the module file to apply changes) | 12:25 |
| wctaiwan | the thing is that this is hard to reproduce, so it's hard to know if something's part of the issue >.< | 12:25 |
| ActionParsnip | wctaiwan: tried bt_coex_active=0 too? | 12:25 |
| wctaiwan | I tried =1. I think it enables 802.11n by default. | 12:25 |
| === _Bauer is now known as Bauer1 | ||
| wctaiwan | nope. | 12:25 |
| wctaiwan | I think it has to do with it trying to authenticate with a base station, timing out, and instead of trying again, it hops to another base station (with the same ESSID), ad nauseum | 12:26 |
| wctaiwan | any way to stop it from doing that? | 12:26 |
| ActionParsnip | wctaiwan: not all wifi adapters can do n speed solidly under Linux in my experience | 12:26 |
| wctaiwan | yeah, I don't think disabling 802.11n helped.. | 12:26 |
| ActionParsnip | wctaiwan: could maybe increase fidelity, so that it stays on the same point (if possible) | 12:27 |
| wctaiwan | how can I do that? | 12:27 |
| alecat | Hi | 12:28 |
| alecat | Is there a channel for unity ? | 12:28 |
| wctaiwan | if I were better at scripting I would try to write something that records the BSSID at login and then switches to that network, instead of trying to connect to the common ESSID.. | 12:28 |
| ActionParsnip | alecat: Ubuntu community supports Unity | 12:28 |
| pdors | !ciao | 12:28 |
| alecat | ok | 12:29 |

| c2tarun | demonoid_me: if you want you can try other lightweight distros (crunchbang my fav) of try Unity 2D or Ubuntu fallback session, they are pretty fast as compared to Unity | 13:03 |

| ubottu | Hammerhead2011-S start here: To just use java you need a "Java Runtime Environment" (JRE) and/or a browser plugin. If that is not sufficient you will need a "Java Development Kit" (JDK) aka "Software Development Kit" (SDK). Please see https://help.ubuntu.com/community/Java about how to install one of three current implementations. | 13:05 |

| cfhowlett | r00t-err0r, lubuntu/xubuntu are both non-unity | 13:13 |
| demonoid_me | c2tarun, 10x man!!!! | 13:13 |
| ActionParsnip | r00t-err0r: then install minimal for no UI | 13:13 |
| ubuntuaddicted | r00t-err0r, install ubuntu minimal | 13:13 |
| MonkeyDust | !mini | r00t-err0r | 13:13 |
| ubottu | r00t-err0r: The Minimal CD image is very small in size, and it downloads most packages from the Internet during installation, allowing you to select only those you want (the installer is like the one on the !Alternate CD). See https://help.ubuntu.com/community/Installation/MinimalCD | 13:13 |
| auronandace | r00t-err0r: you could use the mini iso and install just what you want or just install a supported derivative such as xubuntu if you want xfce | 13:13 |
| r00t-err0r | tnx 2 all | 13:13 |

| ubuntuaddicted | rynop, they aren't always 8 characters I don't think, that's the non-hashed version of the key I think. | 13:33 |
| ubuntuaddicted | rynop, what's the repo and key you're referring to? | 13:33 |
| ubuntuaddicted | BlueEagle, under the beta and legacy drivers it doesn't show 295.40. hmmmmm | 13:33 |
| ubuntuaddicted | BlueEagle, thanks anyway for trying to help | 13:34 |

| ChemicalToilet | cool, thank tou for the info, I was just trying to do my research before upgrading actionparsnip :) | 13:37 |
| ActionParsnip | CyL: I don't believe so | 13:37 |
| hggdh | CyL: if grub was told to install on the MBR, your previous bootloader is gone | 13:38 |
| ubuntuaddicted | rynop, that is the keyname. s3tools.key | 13:38 |
| hggdh | CyL: no backups | 13:38 |
| papachan | well ubuntu 13.04 dont open my software center include my ubuntu one panel | 13:38 |
| rynop | ubuntuaddicted, I think what i'm really looking for is the 'signing key' value. How do you find that for a given repo? | 13:39 |
| CyL | hggdh: Well, look who I found here ;) That's another issue, I think there might be a big in the 13.04 install program, since my main harddisk is /dev/sda, and I told grub too be instaled on the MBR of /dev/sdc which is a thumbdrive I was installing Ubuntu onto | 13:39 |
| rynop | ubuntuaddicted, ex your sunab ppa has a 'signing key' of 1024R/AA836CA8 | 13:39 |

| rynop | ubuntuaddicted, yea i'll give it a try thx. | 13:40 |

| hggdh | CyL: :-) so it *is* you. I wondered... | 13:41 |

| hggdh | CyL: s/but/bug/ | 13:42 |
| CyL | hggdh: Yes, indeed. I'll take a look at them; | 13:42 |
| rynop | ubuntuaddicted, actually its 'C762B6E6' - I know this cuz i added the repo via synaptic on another box of mine - if u look @ authentication tab is shows the signing key val. | 13:43 |
| rynop | ubuntuaddicted, and just verified that case by using the puppet module and passing in that val and the url to key - and it worked. no clue how u get that 8 char val beforehand tho. | 13:44 |
| ubuntuaddicted | rynop, huhhh? not sure but at least you figured it out | 13:44 |
| maodun | I upgraded to 13.04 and no longer have wired or wireless network adapters | 13:45 |

| zero_coder | hello | 14:27 |
| BlueEagle | UbuNoob: Oh.. World readable is most likely not the best option from a securtiy point of view. Perhaps making the files group writable and add them and yourself to the media group? | 14:29 |

| penk | hi folks, my auto-upgrade in cron.daily has been throwing "Package 'mysql-common' has conffile prompt and needs to be upgraded manually - so I log into the host and do "sudo aptitude upgrade mysql-common" - which upgrades fine without any conffile prompt problems. | 14:35 |
| penk | Any ideas? | 14:35 |
| ActionParsnip | stercor: Raring has shorter support than Quantal, just so you know | 14:35 |
| stercor | Thanks! | 14:35 |

| penk | ActionParsnip: my understanding is that 'aptitude' is the preferred way to manage updates and upgrades. is that no longer the case? | 14:38 |
| ubuntuaddicted | UbuNoob, what's your user's name? | 14:38 |
| jrib | penk: on 12.04 aptitude will cause you issues with multi-arch. In 12.10 and later, it should be okay | 14:38 |

| penk | should i do the update with apt-get here? | 14:39 |
| jrib | penk: I don't really see why you would be getting the message. Maybe pastebin what you are seeing in the logs? | 14:39 |
| ubuntuaddicted | jrib, huh? what do you mean issues with multi-arch? | 14:39 |
| penk | one moment. | 14:39 |
| NetFlam | Hi | 14:39 |
| jrib | ubuntuaddicted: as in it gets confused and wants to remove half of your packages if you use multi-arch | 14:39 |
| jrib | !aptitude | ubuntuaddicted | 14:39 |
| ubottu | ubuntuaddicted: 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. | 14:39 |
| ubuntuaddicted | jrib, what is "multi-arch"? | 14:40 |
| codephobic | hi | 14:40 |
| jrib | ubuntuaddicted: you can have an amd64 system with i386 packages | 14:40 |
| ubuntuaddicted | jrib, ah, i see. | 14:40 |
| jrib | !aptitude =~ s/and higher/and 12.04/ | 14:40 |
| ubottu | I'll remember that jrib | 14:40 |
| jrib | !aptitude =~ s/currently// | 14:41 |
| codephobic | I'm having a few issues getting my mounts to work in 13.04. I used cifs to access my readyNAS duo previously, in 12.10, but in 13.04 it doesn't seem to work | 14:41 |
| codephobic | I tried a clean install of 13.04 and I can't even get smbfs to install | 14:41 |
| codephobic | apt-get doesn't recognise the package at all | 14:41 |
| lotuspsychje | !info smbfs | 14:41 |
| ubottu | Package smbfs does not exist in raring | 14:41 |
| lotuspsychje | codephonic: was that the correct package name? | 14:42 |
| codephobic | !info smbfs | 14:42 |
| penk | jrib: very odd. nothing in the history.log file showing mysql-common being touched until i ran the aptitude upgrade mysql-common | 14:42 |
| theadmin | codephobic: cifs-utils | 14:42 |
| penk | which successfully upgraded. | 14:42 |
| theadmin | codephobic: "smbfs" is ages old, it's "cifs" as of now. | 14:42 |
| Espen | Anyone care to explain fglrx to me? Is it open-source or AMD's own driver blob? Because cchtml.com refers xorg edgers ppa as open-source drivers, but yet you find fglrx drivers there? + Whats up with those fglrx version numbers? Why aren't they called 13.4? etc? | 14:42 |
| codephobic | theadmin, ah, thanks. | 14:42 |
| adamk | Espen: fglrx is proprietary, not open source. | 14:43 |
| theadmin | Espen: fglrx is propretiary, as for version numbers, eeh... Ask AMD | 14:43 |
| Espen | then is the x.org edgers not open source? | 14:43 |
| theadmin | Espen: I think it has more than just fglrx, no? | 14:43 |

| designbybeck | So if I download the 13.04 iso...and compare it to the checksum and they both are the same, that means it downloaded correctly and isn't corrupt? | 14:44 |
| adamk | Espen: They have two different version numbers, one presumably for internal use and one for consumer use. Makes things extra complicated. | 14:44 |
| vak | theadmin: ok, thanks! | 14:44 |
| UbuNoob | would it be something like sudo chown -R 777 $plex:$david /media/zam/Media1 ? | 14:44 |
| theadmin | designbybeck: Yep | 14:44 |
| designbybeck | gotcha...thank you theadmin | 14:44 |
| adamk | Espen: X.org Edgers is a repo for various X related pcakages, both open source and not. | 14:45 |
| jrib | designbybeck: very probably :) | 14:45 |
| Espen | ah alright | 14:45 |
| theadmin | UbuNoob: "chown" changes ownership, not permissions, 777 has nothing to do there. | 14:45 |
| theadmin | UbuNoob: Also $ refers to environment variables, you likely don't want that there. | 14:45 |
| designbybeck | I think I had a problem with the USB drive itself I am using and/or unetbootin | 14:45 |

| helmut_ | hi | 14:46 |
| lotuspsychje | does 13.04 have the choice to remove usernames at login screen? | 14:46 |
| UbuNoob | Video group .. no | 14:46 |
| nxt_ | hi | 14:46 |
| Espen | last question: ubuntu lists this for 13.04, Package: fglrx-updates (2:9.012-0ubuntu1) [restricted]. and xorg edgers: fglrx-installer-12 2:12.104-0ubuntu1~xedgers~raring1 | 14:46 |
| Espen | the xorg edgers is newer yes? | 14:46 |
| codephobic | theadmin, is it still correct to use //xxx.xxx.xxx.xxx/directory /media/mydirectory cifs -o username=...,password=...,file_mode=0777,dir_mode=0777,iocharset=utf8 0 0? | 14:46 |
| theadmin | lotuspsychje: hidden-users option under [UserAccounts] in /etc/lightdm/users.conf | 14:47 |
| lotuspsychje | theadmin: it still needs manually config right? | 14:47 |
| ubuntuaddicted | UbuNoob, ok, what's your users name? | 14:47 |
| theadmin | codephobic: If you mean in fstab, then almost... -o isn't supposed to be there. | 14:47 |
| theadmin | lotuspsychje: Well yeah, can't find it in the GUIs | 14:47 |
| lotuspsychje | theadmin: tnx | 14:47 |
| codephobic | theadmin, yes and thanks | 14:48 |

| lotuspsychje | Eit8: older hardware? did you try a reboot? | 14:49 |
| UbuNoob | I have two users right now plex and David I eventually see adding Sue John and Alex so maybe I should create a group, give the group permissions to read write execute and add the new users to that group? | 14:49 |
| Eit8 | lotuspsychje: long story short, I had to reinstall my legacy ATI driver to make it work after 13.04 upgrade, then it worked but I'm having some flaws | 14:49 |
| ubuntuaddicted | UbuNoob, i would suggest changing the group of the /media/zam/Media1 to match your users group name. sudo chgrp -R username /media/zam/Media1 | 14:49 |
| lotuspsychje | Eit8: did you check additional drivers section if you installed correct one? | 14:50 |
| ubuntuaddicted | UbuNoob, that would work as well. you may have a video group already. what does entering "groups" return in the comand line? | 14:50 |

| uroyanme | ActionParsnip: Using ubuntu. | 14:52 |
| ActionParsnip | theadmin: d'oh, thanks :) | 14:52 |
| uroyanme | ActionParsnip: I figured it out, thanks | 14:53 |
| ActionParsnip | uroyanme: its a proprietary file system, I believe there is a tool in Ubuntu but the only real people who know how to format ntfs properly are microsoft | 14:53 |
| Eit8 | lotuspsychje: the default driver never worked for me, because I'm using an HD4890, the support was dropped many months ago | 14:53 |
| lotuspsychje | Eit8: maybe a clean install would sort the correct driver for you? | 14:53 |
| ubuntuaddicted | ActionParsnip, yes but don't you also have to specify the username with it, example sudo chown foo:groupname /mount/ | 14:53 |
| uroyanme | ActionParsnip: Fat is universal? | 14:54 |
| Eit8 | lotuspsychje: you mean I should reinstall ubuntu ? | 14:54 |
| ubuntuaddicted | UbuNoob, ok, you may want to create a video group, change the group for that folder to video, then add your users to that group | 14:54 |
| ActionParsnip | uroyanme: yes but not very robust, fat32 is a lot better but has a 4Gb file size limit | 14:54 |
| ActionParsnip | ubuntuaddicted: that does it too :) | 14:54 |
| lotuspsychje | Eit8: im gonna clean install for sure, yes.. | 14:54 |

| tyrog | krabador: afaik fglrx doesn't support cards older than hd5x series | 15:23 |
| DJones | purplerain: It doesn't exist anymore, you have to use either the desktop or the minimal iso's | 15:23 |
| zvacet | krabado: I don´t think that gpu is supported | 15:23 |
| zvacet | krabador: use radeon driver | 15:24 |
| tyrog | DogLover: How much RAM? | 15:24 |
| krabador | zvacet, how can i come back? | 15:24 |
| zvacet | DogLover: install 32 bit version | 15:24 |
| brian__ | Hi All. I just installed 13.04. I live in China but am not Chinese. My language settings are for English, yet my 'back' and 'next' buttons for UbuntuOne are in Chinese. How can I fix this? | 15:24 |
| DogLover | 2.9GB RAM | 15:24 |
| zvacet | krabador: downgrade? | 15:24 |
| m4gnus | Does anyone know if it's still possible to upgrade to the next version in command line? | 15:25 |
| purplerain | llutz: ugh ok. but then how do i install raring in an encrypted hdd? theres no options to mount the drive in regular cd. | 15:25 |
| tyrog | DogLover: You can install either 32 or 64 bits | 15:25 |
| tyrog | ubuntu | 15:25 |
| llutz | purplerain: doesnt the desktop-cd have a boot-menu option for that? sry idk | 15:25 |
| theadmin | m4gnus: sudo do-release-upgrade | 15:26 |
| theadmin | m4gnus: (provided by update-manager-core) | 15:26 |
| DogLover | My current version is 64-bit. I am wondering would a 32-bit be faster cause 64 is kinda slow. | 15:26 |
| krabador | zvacet, yes, i would reuse radeon, | 15:26 |
| krabador | zvacet, i installed fglrx-updates | 15:26 |
| tyrog | DogLover: What is your current OS? | 15:26 |
| krabador | zvacet, and now i would come back | 15:26 |
| Vampir3 | not any solution except reainstall grub? | 15:26 |
| krabador | zvacet, ubuntu 13.04 | 15:26 |
| zvacet | krabador: and they don´t work? | 15:27 |
| m4gnus | theadmin, thank you | 15:27 |
| ubuntuaddicted | UbuNoob, you still there? | 15:27 |
| m4gnus | theadmin: Apparently I have no new release | 15:27 |
| DogLover | I installed Ubuntu 12.04 originally. For some reason I added kubuntu. And then yesterday I upgraded to 13.04. | 15:27 |
| UbuNoob | I dont see manage groups only Backup, Details, Landscape Service, Softwatre and updates, Date & Time, Universwal Access and User Accounts | 15:27 |
| krabador | zvacet, only wallpaper | 15:27 |
| ubuntuaddicted | DogLover, if anything, get rid of unity and go with xubuntu or another window manager | 15:27 |
| theadmin | m4gnus: Eh, what version are you on and what do you want to upgrade to? | 15:27 |
| krabador | zvacet, how can i reinstall open drivers? | 15:27 |
| m4gnus | 12.10 to 13.04 | 15:27 |
| DogLover | I already tried kubuntu and it was no faster, probablt a bit slower. | 15:28 |
| purplerain | llutz: idk either | 15:28 |
| theadmin | m4gnus: Hm... Verify that Prompt=normal in /etc/update-manager/release-upgrades | 15:28 |
| m4gnus | theadmin: $ lsb_release -a | 15:28 |
| m4gnus | Release: 12.10 | 15:28 |
| tyrog | DogLover: I recommend Xubuntu 13.04 32-bit for your machine | 15:28 |
| zero_coder | hello | 15:28 |
| DogLover | I hope xubuntu is faster than Kubuntu was. | 15:29 |
| m4gnus | theadmin: cool! thank you! | 15:29 |
| UbuNoob | <ubuntuaddicted> ar eyou geting my responses? | 15:29 |
| yeats | m4gnus: you could try 'sudo do-release-upgrade' | 15:29 |
| tyrog | krabador: You have 2 options. Use the radeon driver that is supplied by default with ubuntu, or install fglrx legacy from the PPA | 15:29 |
| purplerain | the only option from the live cd is to create new encrypted drive, and thats by deleting exisiting data on the drive :/ | 15:29 |
| tyrog | DogLover: definitely, no question on that :) | 15:29 |
| krabador | tyrog, i would reuse the radeon driver | 15:29 |
| zero_coder | i have been trying to install ubuntu along side windows. SO i used gparted and resized windows 8 partition . Now i can't use windows anymore :) | 15:29 |
| DogLover | Ok I will look into it. Thanks! | 15:29 |
| zero_coder | what should I do | 15:29 |
| zero_coder | ?? | 15:29 |
| krabador | tyrog, i haven't xorg.conf to delete | 15:29 |
| yeats | zero_coder: you can usually fix that with the Windows install/repair disc (but that is a non-ubuntu topic) | 15:30 |
| tyrog | krabador: Go to your "Software Sources" and "Additional drivers" tab, select the option for Opensource Radeon driver | 15:30 |
| User_007 | Hello, i got some problems with my sd card reader | 15:30 |

| yeats | zero_coder: sorry - that's all I've got :-/ | 15:31 |
| ubuntuaddicted | UbuNoob, there haven't been any | 15:31 |

| m4gnus | /etc/update-manager/release-upgrades was set to never would you? | 15:31 |
| User_007 | Hello, i got some problems with my sd card reader (raring amd64). It doesn't mount the device /dev/mmcX | 15:31 |

| ubuntuaddicted | UbuNoob, you don't have a "Users and Groups" within system? | 15:33 |
| krabador | tyrog, default drivers | 15:34 |
| m4gnus | theadmin: true. thank you again. | 15:34 |
| UbuNoob | no.. only User accounts | 15:34 |

| Pici | WolfeZ: programming with it? If so, use #python | 15:37 |
| UbuNoob | It ran but I still only see Users.. I wonder if I need to reboot | 15:37 |
| barneygale | theadmin: ah how weird, I thought it'd at least package unity-2d | 15:37 |
| Pessimist | tyrog, what's the command? My Ubuntu isn't in English | 15:37 |

| ActionParsnip | User_007: when you last ejected it, did you use the safe remove option in your OS | 15:39 |
| ActionParsnip | User_007: what file system do you use in the device? | 15:39 |
| zvacet | krabador: did you install fglrx from Software Sources" > "Additional drivers | 15:39 |
| User_007 | ActionParsnip, yes. ext3/4 (really don't remember). It used to work fine with 12.10 | 15:40 |
| ubuntuaddicted | UbuNoob, did you follow this? http://handytutorial.com/manage-users-and-groups-in-ubuntu-12-10-12-04/ | 15:40 |
| krabador | zvacet, not, apt-get install fglrx-updates | 15:40 |
| ubuntuaddicted | UbuNoob, also, i don't see your responses IF you don't put my name first. you can start to type a name and use tab to have it auto-complete | 15:40 |
| ActionParsnip | User_007: have you fsck'd it? | 15:40 |
| zvacet | krabador: see if ypi can see it on Software Sources" > "Additional drivers | 15:40 |
| zvacet | *you | 15:40 |
| krabador | zvacet, not | 15:41 |
| User_007 | ActionParsnip, it doesn't appear on /dev. | 15:41 |
| i4c | hello does anyone know of a fullscreen, selectable rectangular region magnifier for linux | 15:41 |
| ActionParsnip | User_007: if you run: sudo fdisk -l do you see the device and/or the partition? | 15:41 |
| barneygale | I need help selecting a desktop session - I don't see any way of doing it from the login screen. Clicking my username does nothing. Screenshot: http://i.imgur.com/OnGgJqk.jpg | 15:41 |
| ActionParsnip | i4c: mag | 15:41 |
| krabador | zvacet, but the fglrx-updates, it's the 13.1 ati | 15:41 |
| Kuwanger | Is there any way to make a log of all exec syscalls that occur? | 15:41 |
| krabador | zvacet, that's compatible with the board | 15:41 |
| ActionParsnip | i4c: or it may be xmag | 15:41 |
| User_007 | ActionParsnip, nope. it is not in /dev either | 15:41 |
| ActionParsnip | !info xmag | 15:41 |
| UbuNoob | ubuntuaddicted wow.. there are a boatload of Groups here... So.. USing this tool, I need to add my users to the video group, And give the video group permissions to read write and execute to the /media/zam/Media1 folder... right? | 15:41 |
| ubottu | Package xmag does not exist in raring | 15:41 |
| User_007 | ActionParsnip, it used to mount in /dev/mmc0 | 15:42 |
| ubuntuaddicted | UbuNoob, you don;'t need to make it executable but you have the right idea. | 15:42 |
| i4c | ActionParsnip: it isn't fullscreen nor dynamic :/ | 15:42 |
| zvacet | krabador: it is not about board it is about graphic card ati doesn´t support it any more | 15:42 |
| ubuntuaddicted | UbuNoob, change the group of that folder to video, and have group permissions be read/write | 15:43 |
| ActionParsnip | i4c: if you use Compiz, I believe it has that feature | 15:43 |
| ubuntuaddicted | UbuNoob, and make sure users david and plex are in the video group | 15:43 |
| zvacet | krabador: do you have synaptic installed? | 15:43 |
| ubuntuaddicted | UbuNoob, after you add those users to that group, you'll have to log out and back in again for the group changes to take effect i think | 15:43 |
| ubuntuaddicted | UbuNoob, i have to run, im sure you got it from here | 15:43 |
| ActionParsnip | User_007: does windows see a partition on it (if you have windows available) | 15:43 |
| UbuNoob | ubuntuaddicted I think Im creal close.. How can I undo the golbal 777 thing I did earlier | 15:43 |
| krabador | zvacet, i only have the terminal working | 15:43 |
| i4c | thx ActionParsnip i will try | 15:43 |
| tyrog | krabador: sudo apt-get purge fglrx* | 15:44 |
| tyrog | then reboot and voila | 15:44 |
| User_007 | ActionParsnip, probably. Ubuntu yesterday did | 15:44 |
| UbuNoob | ubuntuaddicted .. THank you so much for staying with me and for your help.. | 15:44 |
| ubuntuaddicted | UbuNoob, you don't have to undo it, just sudo chmod -R 0760 /media/foldername | 15:45 |
| zerick | HI! Anybody knows a plugin or a way to get sound alerts for specific senders, or content (headers of mail maybe) ? I use mailboxalert for Thunderbird but is not enough ! | 15:45 |

| ubuntuaddicted | UbuNoob, here's a chmod calculator: http://www.onlineconversion.com/html_chmod_calculator.htm | 15:45 |
| User_007 | ActionParsnip, the card is fine. Just opened it from another computer | 15:45 |
| ubuntuaddicted | UbuNoob, just a suggestion but i chown everything in my /media/folders to my username instead of root but that's just me | 15:45 |
| User_007 | ActionParsnip, any idea about changes on linux kernel? | 15:46 |
| barneygale | Is Unity2D pre-installed on 13.04? | 15:46 |
| tyrog | barneygale: no | 15:46 |
| ubuntuaddicted | UbuNoob, got it? i have to go | 15:46 |
| UbuNoob | ubuntuaddicted .. THANK you so much!!! | 15:46 |
| tyrog | Unity 2D was dropped since 12.10, latest release to have it is 12.04 | 15:46 |

| deadweasel | how do I get 12.04 x64 to play nice with two pci-e AMD video cards? | 15:49 |
| krabador | zvacet, i removed it | 15:50 |
| tyrog | barneygale: You cant install it in 12.10 or further releases | 15:50 |
| krabador | zvacet, but now i'm not using mesa | 15:50 |
| mikebot | Is there a channel for privacy-related things (like vpns)? | 15:51 |
| tyrog | krabador: If you remove fglrx and reboot, Ubuntu should fallback to Mesa | 15:52 |
| ActionParsnip | User_007: not sure, maybe its a bug | 15:53 |

| drsmith | So, I'm having issues installing games from Steam for Linux onto my Windows partition: http://i.imgur.com/EwHzGuU.png (I dual-boot, and the Windows side has more space because reasons.) | 15:58 |
| tyrog | drsmith: You should never try to install anything from Linux in an NTFS partition | 15:58 |
| tyrog | therefore your problems | 15:58 |
| tyrog | so the best thing to do is resize your windows partition, giving more space to Ubuntu's | 15:59 |
| drsmith | Worked before I upgrading to 13.04. The changes I made to my fstab file via pysdm seemed to have been undone in the upgrade, though. | 15:59 |

| zero_coder | hey, how to make a bootable usb from a CD in ubuntu? | 16:01 |
| ActionParsnip | aneks: does the user launching the process have write access to the partition too? | 16:01 |
| BlueEagle | zero_coder: Google pendrive linux | 16:01 |
| tyrog | zero_coder: use the Startup Creator | 16:01 |
| Novimundus | #join java | 16:01 |
| Novimundus | whoops | 16:01 |
| ActionParsnip | zero_coder: once you boot the CD you can make the live USB there if you want | 16:02 |
| aneks | ActionParsnip, I'm guessing you mean if the torrent software has access to write to the partition? | 16:02 |
| BlueEagle | zero_coder: Yeah, what ActionParsnip sais makes more sense if you have the ISO burned already to a CD. :) | 16:02 |
| zero_coder | but , laptop hasn't a CD drive | 16:03 |
| ActionParsnip | aneks: no, the access is dictated by the user running the app, that;s why you need to use gksudo to run nautilus to get access to things your user doesn't have access to | 16:03 |
| ActionParsnip | aneks: the process will run as root and you will get the access | 16:03 |
| pirep | ciao raga | 16:03 |

| ActionParsnip | aneks: then I'd check the config etc make sure it's all ok | 16:09 |
| ActionParsnip | !ics | Ubuntu-Lover | 16:09 |
| ubottu | Ubuntu-Lover: If you want to share the internet connection of your Ubuntu machine with other machines in the network see https://help.ubuntu.com/community/Internet/ConnectionSharing | 16:09 |
| Ubuntu-Lover | I read that before | 16:09 |
| Ubuntu-Lover | no luck :/ | 16:09 |
| Ubuntu-Lover | and thats also for making a wifi connection so quite the oposite although the guide for the older stuff cleared some of it up but still no luck | 16:10 |
| Ubuntu-Lover | anyone? | 16:11 |
| ActionParsnip | Ubuntu-Lover: doesn't firestarter give a GUI to making that happen? | 16:12 |
| Quix86 | I'm so glad I blocked the copypaste bot | 16:12 |
| ActionParsnip | Ubuntu-Lover: have you checked videos on YouTube etc? | 16:12 |
| Ubuntu-Lover | yes | 16:12 |
| Ubuntu-Lover | OHWAIT | 16:12 |
| Ubuntu-Lover | it working :3 | 16:12 |
| Ubuntu-Lover | had to check that it requires dhcp something | 16:13 |
| ActionParsnip | Ubuntu-Lover: cool | 16:13 |
| Ubuntu-Lover | and firestarter? | 16:13 |
| ActionParsnip | Ubuntu-Lover: if its working, no need to touch it | 16:13 |

| tapas | i skipped it now.. | 16:14 |
| Pici | tapas: Did you go through the migration procedure that came up during the upgrade process? | 16:14 |
| Ubuntu-Lover | i installed ubuntu on my server because its great with drivers and my server is OLD and unfortunatly i cant actually get any drivers for it anyways :( just wondering if there are any driver finding tools available on ubuntu im sure you will say goto manafacture but its a "SUN" fire v20z i.e. not about anymore | 16:14 |
| tapas | Pici: yeah, there were some GTK dialogs that asked for the administrative db user password | 16:14 |
| SonikkuAmerica | LtHummus: I see no reason why it shouldn't be. | 16:14 |
| Eit8 | is ther any chance I can install from scratches unity, it got totally screwed after 13.04 | 16:15 |

| Ubuntu-Lover | sun is now orcial :( | 16:15 |
| LtHummus | SonikkuAmerica: i've had some bad luck with previous ugrades, but that was a while ago (around the 8.xx times) so I'm hoping upgrades are more stable and less risky | 16:15 |
| LtHummus | :) | 16:15 |
| tapas | Pici: that's what i entered.. i checked with the mnysql commandline client | 16:15 |

| Myrtti | tapas: "when helping, be helpful." if they've chosen to try to do something with Unity, the first step shouldn't be telling them to get another one. | 16:18 |

| avrelaun | Hi guys, after upgrading a 12.10 with gnome-shell to 13.04, the default wallpaper is replaced by grey. I tried replacing it in the settings, but nothing works. Any idea? | 16:20 |
| Eit8 | it's like 2 days I'm trying to sort those unity problems and ppl keep telling me "go for fresh install" no wonder ppl are thinking about xubuntu | 16:20 |
| SonikkuAmerica | avrelaun: My guess is that metacity is still involved somehow... (By the way, why not try Ubuntu GNOME?) | 16:20 |
| avrelaun | SonikkuAmerica: To avoid fresh install... | 16:21 |
| SonikkuAmerica | avrelaun: Then possible [ sudo apt-get install ubuntu-gnome-desktop ] | 16:21 |

| Pici | chro: Because the weather service that it depended on (run by yahoo) was discontinued. There is no replacement yet. | 16:23 |
| chro | Pici, it can also work with the google weather | 16:23 |

| alien2050 | Hey guys, simple question, anyone knows how to write a script (in bash) that will write a script (in bash) again? Everytime I use cat > file <<EOF, my bash variables are removed and replaced by their values for some reason in 'file'... maybe there's a better way? like echo but for some reason echo doesn't take multiple lines unless I'm mistaken.... also tried escaping the variables, but it sucks because I need to modify my shell script | 16:29 |
| ideas-hub | REALLY | 16:29 |
| Pici | Sp3ctr4L: because our clients won't hilight your messages if you mispell our nicks. | 16:29 |

| ubottu | bb_: Please give us full details. For example: "I have a problem with ..., I'm running Ubuntu version .... When I try to do ..., I get the following output: ..., but I expected it to do ..." | 16:59 |
| bb_ | yes i can. I use crontab -e to setup a standard entry for automated bash file called "mc" which i have in /usr/local/bin and cron does NOTHING. | 17:00 |
| bb_ | =) ?? | 17:00 |
| llutz | bb_: call your script with full pathes, cron uses limited environment | 17:00 |
| lotuspsychje | someone knows a gui lightdm conf tweaker? | 17:00 |

| nerfball | can this channel be accessed through an irc client? what are the settings? | 17:01 |
| JeremyinNC | make sure you use full path to everything | 17:01 |
| JeremyinNC | #ubuntu | 17:01 |
| JeremyinNC | at freenode.net | 17:01 |
| bb_ | im not familiar with pastebin usage but i did this in the edit * * * * * mc command say this is a test | 17:01 |
| bb_ | i also tried the path on the mc | 17:02 |
| thomas___ | wizard is it possible you have multiple instances of documentviewer running and are simply closing them one at a time? | 17:02 |
| llutz | bb_: call your script with full pathes, cron uses limited environment "* * * * * /usr/local/bin/mc" | 17:02 |
| bb_ | mc is a working bash file | 17:02 |
| MonkeyDust | bb_ that's every minute of every hour on every day | 17:02 |
| === prayas is now known as yashh | ||
| bb_ | yes it is every minute just to get it going. | 17:02 |
| bb_ | once i can schedule ANYTHING that starts on any schedule im good to go with the rest. | 17:03 |
| MonkeyDust | bb_ meainning: that starts mc every minute of every hour on every day | 17:03 |
| theadmin | bb_: "mc" is a bad name choice, as there is an Ubuntu package providing a same-name binary. If you have that package installed, you'll be having issues (because mc is interactive) | 17:03 |
| m4gnus | Does anyone know how to stop having apt-get from trying to look for binary-i386 packages? | 17:03 |
| === qos|away is now known as qos | ||
| JeremyinNC | so is it running "mc" at all? Who are you running the cron job as and who owns the file? Is it executable, does it work if you run it as that user manually? | 17:03 |
| bb_ | i want to have it use that message every minute forever for now. then i want to change it to be useful after that. | 17:04 |
| bb_ | its not running mc or anything i schedule at all | 17:04 |
| llutz | bb_: did you test it with full path? did it work? | 17:04 |
| cristina_ | E: dpkg was interrupted, you must manually run 'dpkg --configure -a' to correct the problem. | 17:04 |
| cristina_ | E: _cache->open() failed, please report. | 17:04 |
| JeremyinNC | First step to me would be change it to /usr/share/bin/mc instead of just mc | 17:04 |
| bb_ | ive researched this a while. I seem to be setting up the schedule fine but nothing ever starts from it. | 17:04 |
| JeremyinNC | bb_: did you test it with full path? did it work? | 17:05 |
| bb_ | full path does not work from the cron | 17:05 |

| Renzatic | yup | 17:15 |
| bb_ | jeremy ok | 17:15 |
| Xergo92 | Hi | 17:15 |
| Xergo92 | A; | 17:15 |
| Xergo92 | all | 17:15 |
| bazhang | Renzatic, staging? | 17:15 |
| Renzatic | staging? explain what you mean, I'm still a bit of a linux noob here | 17:15 |
| JeremyinNC | Are you specifying the paths to the commands in your "mc" script? cron does not get all of your environment when it runs | 17:15 |
| Xergo92 | i am new to ubuntu is there any replacement of Adobe Photoshop in ubunut | 17:15 |
| Xergo92 | ubuntu* | 17:15 |
| bazhang | Renzatic, its a known issue, they in fact warn you about that particular ppa | 17:15 |
| bb_ | anyone having problems setting up cron jobs? I cant seem to get it to run anything from cron | 17:15 |
| JeremyinNC | gimp | 17:15 |
| Renzatic | what it's doing is flaking out the shell UI whenever I install an app | 17:15 |
| Pici | !who | JeremyinNC | 17:16 |
| ubottu | JeremyinNC: As you can see, this is a large channel. If you're speaking to someone in particular, please put their nickname in what you say (use !tab), or else messages get lost and it becomes confusing :) | 17:16 |
| bb_ | jeremy the mc script specifies all paths and even uses cd in it | 17:16 |
| RubyJ | JeremyinNC: gotcha, for example when trying to hit repo based off of "http://security.ubuntu.com raring-security" I get the redirect | 17:16 |
| bazhang | Renzatic, thats the risk of such a significant PPA. contact the maintainers and help bug fix | 17:16 |
| RubyJ | *any repo | 17:16 |
| Renzatic | well I need to know if it's a bug, and not a problem with my setup first | 17:16 |
| bb_ | jeremy the mc script is well tested at this point and works well from terminal | 17:16 |
| llutz | bb_: "pgrep cron" any output? | 17:16 |
| bazhang | Renzatic, most certainly a bug | 17:16 |
| bb_ | jeremy yes im learning this channel | 17:17 |
| Renzatic | I've tried finding info on it on google, but so far I haven't found anything | 17:17 |
| bb_ | llutz checking | 17:17 |
| bazhang | Renzatic, the ppa page should have some info on where to file bugs for it | 17:17 |
| Renzatic | how would I bring up information as to what's causing it to flake out? | 17:17 |
| nerfball | !tab /msg thomas__ any walkthroughs that you know of on getting sound setup in 13.04? Thanks. | 17:17 |
| ubottu | nerfball: I am only a bot, please don't think I'm intelligent :) | 17:17 |
| p0wn3d | Xergo92: They have a program called gimp that is very much like photoshop | 17:17 |
| Renzatic | k, I'll look it up | 17:17 |
| bb_ | llutz it shows an id number | 17:17 |
| JeremyinNC | RubyJ: Did you update after upgrading? | 17:17 |
| Heavenstorm | Xergo92 check out Krita as well | 17:18 |
| llutz | bb_: add a cronjob " * * * * * /bin/date >>/tmp/crontest" then check " /tmp/crontest" after 1-2 mintes. | 17:18 |
| Xergo92 | Thanks | 17:18 |
| RubyJ | JeremyinNC: Did I update after upgrading? Isn't that what I;m trying to do now? :/ | 17:18 |
| bb_ | llutz what would i be looking for? | 17:18 |
| llutz | bb_: if the file exists, cron works properly | 17:19 |
| Renzatic | hmm, seems I used a different PPA to install 3.8 than what's showing on the Gnome3 staging page | 17:19 |
| JeremyinNC | bb_: Running it from a terminal gets the users environment settings, running it from cron does not. Just because it runs from the terminal does not mean it will run from cron. For instance the cron job may not get your JAVA_OPTS which the mindcraft jar file will need | 17:19 |
| llutz | bb_: it just will contain date/time lines, every minute | 17:19 |
| bb_ | llutz i have used crontab -e -u bb to create one schedule and it doesnt activate | 17:19 |
| auronandace | Renzatic: you need to get support from the ppa maintainer | 17:19 |
| JeremyinNC | RubyJ: I am not sure, I thought you said that upgrading alreay finished. What version are you currently running? | 17:20 |
| RubyJ | JeremyinNC: sorry for the confusion | 17:20 |
| llutz | bb_: pastebin the output of "crontab -l" and "cat /usr/local/bin/mc" please | 17:20 |
| RubyJ | JeremyinNC: I am on raring | 17:20 |
| === flashingpumpkin is now known as fpk^away | ||
| RubyJ | JeremyinNC: I already upgraded the OS | 17:21 |
| Renzatic | I need to look some things up. I'll be back with more dumb questions in a sec | 17:21 |
| JeremyinNC | RubyJ: no worries, I thuoght you were saying it upgraded and then was having issues | 17:21 |
| thomas___ | nerfball had you been able to get 5.1 sound working in an earlier ubuntu version? | 17:21 |
| bb_ | llutz it may take me a min. i do not know how to pastebin yet | 17:21 |
| RubyJ | JeremyinNC: its the apt-get update that im having issues with | 17:21 |
| llutz | !pastebin | bb_ | 17:21 |
| Xergo92 | @heavenstrom thanks | 17:21 |
| ubottu | bb_: For posting multi-line texts into the channel, please use http://paste.ubuntu.com | To post !screenshots use http://imagebin.org/?page=add | !pastebinit to paste directly from command line | Make sure you give us the URL for your paste - see also the channel topic. | 17:21 |
| Xergo92 | Man | 17:21 |
| RubyJ | JeremyinNC: I fail to fetch from any repo that "http://us.archive.ubuntu.com/ubuntu/dists/raring-updates/.… | 17:21 |
| JeremyinNC | RubyJ: Ok so upgrade again, sometimes the repos get changed expecially right after the release | 17:21 |
| bb_ | i will brb | 17:21 |
| RubyJ | upgrade the os again? | 17:21 |
| RubyJ | how? | 17:21 |
| JeremyinNC | RubyJ: sudo apt-get update;sudo apt-get dist-upgrade | 17:22 |
| wilee-nilee | sudo apt-get update ; sudo apt-get dist-upgrade | 17:22 |
| JeremyinNC | That's not a version upgrade, it will update any outdated repository info for the default repos though | 17:22 |
| wilee-nilee | I think it needs those spaces | 17:22 |
| genii-around | wilee-nilee: Might want && instead of ; there | 17:22 |
| wilee-nilee | thats how I run it but the one I altered works as well | 17:23 |
| RubyJ | JeremyinNC: wilee-nilee: I srill see a lot of redirects and get "some index files failed to download…." | 17:25 |
| JeremyinNC | So does what I wrote! just makes sure the first command succeeds | 17:25 |
| Renzatic | one quick question, since I have to make sure I've installed the right version of gnome 3.8 here | 17:25 |
| RubyJ | maybe some of the repos are having issues? | 17:25 |
| sirronb | JeremyinNC: I see you are chatting w.r.t upgrading. Well it's my turn to go "Raring" too. I have dl'd the iso (amd64) and burnt the dvd. So I'm ready to roll. Any tips or pointers I should know before I do the big deed? BTW Backups are complete. | 17:25 |
| bb_ | llutz http://pastebin.com/7ZQ0q7yy | 17:25 |
| Renzatic | adding "sudo add-apt-repository ppa:gnome3-team/gnome3" then updating from the terminal is the same as adding "deb http://ppa.launchpad.net/gnome3-team/gnome3-staging/ubuntu raring main" from the software sources, correct? | 17:26 |
| llutz | bb_: man 5 crontab | 17:26 |
| llutz | bb_: users crontab does not contain a "user" field | 17:26 |
| bb_ | back cron probs still | 17:26 |
| OerHeks | RubyJ, servers are on high load, maybe changing the mrror solves those errors, or try again laters | 17:26 |
| bb_ | llutz ive read the man and checked for allow and deny etc...... | 17:26 |
| OerHeks | c/mrror/mirror | 17:26 |
| JeremyinNC | sirronb: I am probably the wrong person to ask, I just pulled the trigger and did it from the command line. Everything turned out well after I updated post install though | 17:26 |
| trism | Renzatic: using add-apt-repository also adds the signing key for the ppa | 17:27 |
| bb_ | llutz im sure it does let me verify | 17:27 |
| JeremyinNC | RubyJ: What does cat /etc/lsb-release say? | 17:27 |
| llutz | bb_: man 5 crontab | 17:27 |
| nerfball | is there like an ultra-noob channel to join and ask for help? | 17:27 |
| Renzatic | so I've got the proper packages, correct? | 17:27 |
| Renzatic | nerfball: wish there were :P | 17:27 |
| wilee-nilee | RubyJ, I have not follwed your problem, but always pastebin errors. | 17:27 |
| bazhang | !manual | nerfball have a read | 17:27 |
| ubottu | nerfball have a read: The Ubuntu Manual will help you become familiar with everyday tasks such as surfing the web, listening to music and scanning documents. With an emphasis on easy to follow instructions, it is suitable for all levels of experience. http://ubuntu-manual.org/ | 17:27 |
| sirronb | JeremyinNC: Ok thx. Any body else with some advise. | 17:27 |
| bb_ | llutz it does contain the user field and it is optional | 17:27 |
| bazhang | !rute | nerfball and this | 17:27 |
| ubottu | nerfball and this: documentation is to be found at http://help.ubuntu.com and http://wiki.ubuntu.com - General linux documentation: http://www.tldp.org - http://rute.2038bug.com | 17:27 |
| JeremyinNC | It did take me a white to get all the new package info just now | 17:27 |
| bb_ | cron still not running any scheduled items | 17:28 |
| nerfball | thanks guys, Ive read some manuals and stuff, just trying to troubleshoot an issue, not general usage questions. | 17:28 |
| lotuspsychje | whats that hide users line again to hide usernames at login? | 17:28 |
| llutz | bb_: man 5 crontab "EXAMPLE SYSTEM CRON FILE" you want to read the line below that | 17:28 |
| JeremyinNC | Sound is pretty tricky, I had to manually edit some files to get it right with SPDIF out | 17:28 |
| Renzatic | well, I'm off to do some research, and maybe possibly submit my first bug. thanks for the help everyone o/ | 17:29 |
| bb_ | anyone? cron issue : not running anything... are DESKTOP versions of ubuntu restricted from cron? | 17:29 |
| RubyJ | JeremyinNC: DISTRIB_ID=Ubuntu, DSTRIB_RELEASE=13.04, DISTRIB_CODENAME=raring.... | 17:29 |
| JeremyinNC | hidden-users= | 17:29 |
| RubyJ | JeremyinNC: no issue there | 17:29 |
| JeremyinNC | Darn RubyJ, I have no idea except maybe they are just busy | 17:29 |
| JeremyinNC | I did an update myself 30 sec ago and it went through fine | 17:29 |
| RubyJ | JeremyinNC: Im thinking maybe I have some extra sources? what are the correct sources int he software center | 17:30 |
| bb_ | llutz ideas? | 17:30 |
| JeremyinNC | but if you were able to ugprade yuu were hittung those repos | 17:30 |
| JeremyinNC | IT should have disabled them | 17:30 |
| RubyJ | im sure it did | 17:30 |
| RubyJ | but i dont think it added the right ones | 17:30 |
| MonkeyDust | bb_ i use cron for my backups - to hav e it backup, i just leave the pc switched on | 17:30 |
| RubyJ | or maybe i reenabled them by accident | 17:30 |
| JeremyinNC | bb_: Try adding it to /etc/crontab ? | 17:30 |
| llutz | bb_: you also were asked to use full pathes in your /usr/local/bin/mc, you didn't. | 17:30 |
| JeremyinNC | RubyJ: That could be an issue, most PPAs etc won't have ringtail updates yeat | 17:31 |
| bb_ | monkey are you using ubuntu regular version? or server? | 17:31 |
| feudin | 13.04 looking and running nice for me atm which is good, whats with the horrid 'files' icon though? :s | 17:31 |
| bb_ | jeremy how do i add it to there? | 17:31 |
| bb_ | jeremy just a text file? | 17:31 |
| llutz | bb_: SERVICE='ftbserver.jar' path missing, ... INVOCATION="java..." path missing | 17:31 |
| JeremyinNC | 12.10 > 13.04 went painlessly for me from the command line | 17:31 |
| Jrtojo | I was installing 13.04, and my pc suffered a power failure, Now I've got 'half' of a 13 install, and it seems to be corrupted. Is there anything I can do other than just reinstalling ubuntu from scratch? | 17:31 |
| bb_ | hello? | 17:32 |
| bb_ | everyone stopped talking lol? | 17:32 |
| JeremyinNC | bb_: I'd read llutz answer first, I really think your missing some environment, java especially needs that stuff | 17:32 |
| Pici | bb_: The users crontab absolutely does not have a user field. | 17:33 |
| bb_ | jeremy llutz mc works well from terminal from any folder | 17:33 |
| llutz | bb_: cron is different from terminal. how often should we tell you that | 17:34 |
| bb_ | jeremy so perhaps default path is missing???\ | 17:34 |
| llutz | bb_: if you don't want our help, stop asking | 17:34 |
| JeremyinNC | Jrtojo: Do you have a live CD | 17:34 |
| llutz | bb_: you have been told what to do, what to check and where it might hang. | 17:34 |
| JeremyinNC | bb_: "sudo apt-get install update-manager-core" yes | 17:34 |
| JeremyinNC | oops | 17:34 |
| JeremyinNC | ignore that | 17:34 |
| bb_ | pici i just did man crontab and it DOES have a user parameter!!! | 17:35 |
| Pici | bb_: No it does not. Make sure you are reading the correct section. | 17:35 |
| JeremyinNC | the system crontab is not the same thing | 17:35 |
| llutz | bb_: it doesn't and it breaks cronjobs | 17:35 |
| Pici | bb_: "The following lists the content of a regular system-wide crontab file. Unlinke a user's crontab, this file has the username field, as used by /etc/crontab." | 17:35 |
| bb_ | llutz im NOT ignoring you i am trying to comprehend what is needed. really. | 17:35 |
| llutz | bb_: you aren't | 17:36 |
| Pici | bb_: The user's crontab (crontab -e) does not have a user field. | 17:36 |
| JeremyinNC | one is /etc/crontab (old school, root, reqs user) the other is crontab -e as a normal user which goes (if I remember) in spool | 17:36 |
| Pici | It is not optional. It does not exist. | 17:36 |
| Spazturtle | Is there a way to install ubuntu without loading the os? | 17:36 |
| JeremyinNC | Define the difference between loading and installing? | 17:36 |
| JeremyinNC | You can boot off a live CD | 17:37 |
| sfan5 | I've just updated to 13.04 and now bumblebee doesn't work, any tips? | 17:37 |
| bb_ | SYNOPSIS | 17:37 |
| bb_ | crontab [ -u user ] file | 17:37 |
| bb_ | crontab [ -u user ] [ -i ] { -e | -l | -r } | 17:37 |
| FloodBot1 | bb_: Please don't flood; use http://paste.ubuntu.com to paste; don't use Enter as punctuation. | 17:37 |
| Pici | bb_: And? That doesn't say anything about the content of the file, which is what we are discussing. | 17:37 |
| JeremyinNC | bb_: there re two different kinds of crontab | 17:38 |
| llutz | bb_: still, read "man 5 crontab" not man cron, not man crontab | 17:38 |
| JeremyinNC | bb_: one for users and one for root | 17:38 |
| pr_confidential | I'm trying usb 12.04 with no hd. I've gone to "try ubuntu" and tried turning on nomeset. I'm still getting error messages. Any one help:)? | 17:38 |
| bb_ | jeremy ok im trying very hard still... im reading back this conversation now... | 17:38 |
| Pici | bb_: this is what your crontab should look like: * * * * * /usr/local/bin/mc | 17:38 |
| Pici | bb_: do not put in a username. | 17:39 |
| JeremyinNC | bb_: that is when creating it with crontab -e | 17:39 |
| Spazturtle | There used to be a instller that didn't load the live os, now It seams you have to load the live os | 17:39 |
| jeck | dragon | 17:40 |
| lotuspsychje | pr_confidential: what do you mean with 'no hd'? | 17:40 |
| pr_confidential | I am getting an ubuntu screen then an error "can not mount /dev/ loop1 on/cow | 17:40 |
| Pici | Spazturtle: You can use the minimal CD if you want something like the alternate CD | 17:40 |
| === Odysimus is now known as Odysimus_away | ||
| JeremyinNC | Spazturtle: There is the alternative CD | 17:40 |
| pr_confidential | the hd is broken so I removed it. I put ubuntu 12.04 on a usb and selected option "try ubuntu before installing". Not working for me :'( | 17:41 |
| JeremyinNC | weird, I am running 12.10 off a USB stick at home | 17:41 |
| pr_confidential | (I'm not on that computer now obviously) | 17:41 |
| bb_ | JEREMY and LLUTZ !! THANK YOU. i finally comprehend what you are talking about... =) tested and WORKING! thanks! | 17:41 |
| bb_ | thankyou thank you!! | 17:42 |
| lotuspsychje | pr_confidential: i think the live usb needs an internal hd | 17:42 |
| llutz | things tend to work, if you do them right | 17:42 |
| pr_confidential | what am I doing wrong JeremyinNC? | 17:42 |
| bb_ | its working im out... thanks all =) | 17:42 |
| pr_confidential | it does not need an inturnal hd | 17:42 |
| pr_confidential | perhaps I could use an earlier version? is 12.04 compatiable with that option? I'm still a new user in general | 17:43 |
| JeremyinNC | pr_confidential: I am not sure, has this comp run Ubuntu before ? | 17:43 |
| thomas___ | with 13.04, wubi is no longer used, is this the problem pr_confidential? | 17:44 |
| pr_confidential | yes, had 12.04 on the hd that was broken | 17:44 |
| JeremyinNC | He's just trying to boot to Live from USB | 17:44 |
| pr_confidential | I have 12.04 on the usb | 17:44 |
| pr_confidential | *she | 17:44 |
| JeremyinNC | wubi shouldnot matter, that's inside Windows only afaik | 17:44 |
| pr_confidential | I don't have windows on it | 17:45 |
| xrq | are there ubuntu images for the mini android PCs like the MK802? | 17:45 |
| lotuspsychje | !touch | xrq | 17:45 |
| ubottu | xrq: Information about the Ubuntu Touch platform for Phone and Tablet is available here https://wiki.ubuntu.com/Touch support and discussion in #ubuntu-touch | 17:45 |
| pr_confidential | it was ubuntu only with the hd, now no hd and I'd like to try this usb option. Seems interesting as it is only a little netbook for browsing :) | 17:45 |
| thomas___ | (her) pr_confidential,,,,what is the system you are running before attempting 13.04...windows and linux in a shared system perhaps? | 17:46 |
| pizzakingme | hi! | 17:46 |
| pr_confidential | thomas, there is no system on the one I'm trying to use the usb with. | 17:46 |
| thomas___ | and, no hard drive | 17:47 |
| pr_confidential | currently a netbook that is displaying the 12.04 ubuntu screen, allowing me to choose options after F6 then displaying failure :'( | 17:47 |
| aaron__ | Anybody have any ideas on the viability of mounting a sound device from the /dev of another ubuntu box via ssh, maybe with sshfs or udev or something? | 17:47 |
| pr_confidential | after enabling nomodeset, I'm getting can not mount /dev/ loop1 on/com | 17:48 |
| Slaizer | hi all, I have installed ubuntu 12.10 today. Got everything together now except the sound system option which is managing the volume is not functioning. any help? | 17:48 |
| pr_confidential | before running the 12.04 on usb there was 12.04 on hd | 17:48 |
| thomas___ | pr_confidential, this is beyond my limited abilities, someone will help though | 17:49 |
| aaron__ | I tried to mount /dev/snd over /dev/snd but that didn't work, it must be more complicated than that. Does anybody know how to write udev rules? | 17:49 |
| RubyJ | does anyone get IP redirects when trying to do a sudo apt-get update | 17:50 |
| thomas___ | pr just one other thing do you have 12.04 on cd? | 17:50 |
| pr_confidential | I'm seeing a lot of hiv faggotry happening in here, could be the root of my problem. | 17:50 |
| thomas___ | aha! | 17:50 |
| hide_ | hi all | 17:50 |
| pr_confidential | eitherway, thanks for the tips thomas, I'm a new user. | 17:50 |
| pr_confidential | I had seen these options on ubuntu forum so I'm sure it is out there | 17:51 |
| pr_confidential | hivs | 17:51 |
| pr_confidential | there are hivs all across the internet due to 42 so we have to stay safe :) | 17:52 |
| pr_confidential | good night :) | 17:52 |
| thomas___ | pr, I was having a deuce of a time getting Linux to work, but with 12.04, everything smooth. I would suggest using 12.04 as it is a long term (lts) version and let them work out the kinks with 13.04 | 17:52 |
| Slaizer | anyone with knowledge in sound options in Ubuntu? | 17:52 |
| pr_confidential | I am using 12.04 lts | 17:52 |
| codephobic | hi | 17:53 |
| thomas___ | on another computer? | 17:53 |
| pr_confidential | as long as there is nothing tara or jacob in there, it's safe and clean :) | 17:53 |
| codephobic | Anyone found a solution to the cifs mounting problem with Ubuntu 13.04? | 17:53 |
| RubyJ | wohooooooooo | 17:53 |
| RubyJ | fixed it | 17:53 |
| thomas___ | roomies, lookout | 17:53 |
| chop1n | thomas___, I agree. I am still on 12.04. Will hold on updating for 13.04 for a couple of months | 17:53 |
| codephobic | I've been googling it all afternoon, can't find a solution yet | 17:53 |
| pr_confidential | I'm on a work related laptop inquiring about my netbook after breaking the hd :) Sorry for the confusion | 17:54 |
| thomas___ | chop adds supports for my theories | 17:54 |
| JeremyinNC | RubyJ: What was the fix? | 17:54 |
| lotuspsychje | chop1n: i did a clean install 13.04, 64bit on ssd netbook, everything working flawless here | 17:54 |
| JeremyinNC | pr_confidential: I had the same issue with several intel on board boxes | 17:54 |
| thomas___ | if the harddrive has failed, the machine, for all extents and purposes, is mostly useless until the hard drive is replaced, or errors with it addressed | 17:54 |
| JeremyinNC | pr_confidential: onboard video that is | 17:54 |
| codephobic | lotuspsychje, do you have any remote NAS folders you mount at boot? Are they working in 13.04? | 17:55 |
| RubyJ | JeremyinNC: No particular fix lol, I just tried connecting to some different netowkrs | 17:55 |
| RubyJ | *networks | 17:55 |
| JeremyinNC | thomas___: I boot a box at home with no HDD using Xbuntu 12.04 off a USB | 17:55 |
| oconnore | Hey, what tool should I use in 13.04 to add an icon/launcher to Unity? | 17:55 |
| RubyJ | JeremyinNC: I guess the connection I was using wasnt supporting it for some reaso | 17:55 |
| RubyJ | reaosn | 17:55 |
| vooze | If i'm going to install ubuntu on a hybrid drive (I want to install / on the 16GB SSD) Then i'm going to use the harddrive to /home, is there somthing else thats a good idea to have on the harddrive to save space on the 16 GB SSD? | 17:55 |
| pr_confidential | no thomas, people are doing it :) you select "try ubuntu before install". I'm curious as to if it will only work with earlier versions or if it is just me | 17:55 |
| Pici | codephobic: iirc, credentials files should have each field on a seperate line. i,e: username=xxx\npassword=xxx | 17:55 |
| lotuspsychje | codephonic: im not using nas, but im sure it will work | 17:55 |
| thomas___ | Jer, how is the thing speedwise and otherwise...it starts and operates perhaps, but what of saved work, etc | 17:56 |
| codephobic | Pici, I tried a few variants, with and without commas, on separate lines etc... not having any luck | 17:56 |
| lotuspsychje | oconnore: open a program and right mouse on the icon 'add to launcher' | 17:56 |
| oconnore | lotuspsychje: but I can't add the icon that way | 17:56 |

| belgianguy | there's something wrong with Unity in 13.04 | 17:57 |
| OerHeks | belgianguy, you tell us ? | 17:58 |
| SanMysterious | and with maven | 17:58 |
| belgianguy | it locks up on me, and the snap (orange transparancy animations) sometimes remain | 17:58 |
| pr_confidential | I only used it for browsing so it should keep any taraisms out of my little netbook :) | 17:58 |
| lotuspsychje | belgianguy: did you check your additional drivers? | 17:58 |
| oconnore | lotuspsychje: is it possible? | 17:58 |
| asleo | hi, I am using ubuntu 12.10 and postgresql 9.1. I accidentaly removed the /etc/init.d/postgresql. How can I get this file back? | 17:58 |
| belgianguy | lotuspsychje: it's all default stuff, it uses fglrx-updates | 17:59 |
| thomas___ | pc, as an example, I played around with 13.04 last nite, using a virtualbox setup, but that did not come close to the experience I have with 12.04 running with the full capabilities of my quite husky desktop. Not even close. | 17:59 |
| JeremyinNC | pr_confidential: sounds like a video card driver problem to me but I'm not exactly clear on the error, is it just going blank after a certian point? | 17:59 |
| codephobic | Is there any method for downgrading to 12.10 from 13.04? | 17:59 |
| belgianguy | Unity still works, but won't collapse (while it should) | 17:59 |
| myersg | how to I upgrade to the new release of ubuntu 13.04 from the beta version? | 17:59 |

| BA7 | how to create a windows iso bootable on usb stick? I don't find any program on ubuntu for it | 17:59 |
| pr_confidential | I'd like to disable wireless and import via netbook tbh | 17:59 |
| lotuspsychje | belgianguy: did you upgrade or clean install? | 18:00 |
| belgianguy | lotuspsychje: upgrade | 18:00 |
| pr_confidential | the hivs that got in my last netbook caused quite the storm | 18:00 |
| belgianguy | but the 12.10 was a clean one, few months ago | 18:00 |
| lotuspsychje | belgianguy: was fglrx also the default driver on 12.10? | 18:00 |
| SanMysterious | can i force a package to install, when it collides with another one? in my case: libwagon-java and libwagon2-java. maven unfortunately depends on both versions | 18:00 |
| Umair | how can I ssh to Android ICS tablet from ubuntu? | 18:01 |
| aaron__ | BA7: unetbootin is clutch | 18:01 |
| pr_confidential | BA7, start up disk creator in dash | 18:01 |
| belgianguy | lotuspsychje: yeah | 18:01 |
| lotuspsychje | belgianguy: not sure then, i installed clean today all works flawless | 18:01 |
| llutz | Umair: install/run a ssh-server like sshdroid/dropbear on your tablet, then "ssh user@ip-of-tablet" in a ubuntu-terminal | 18:02 |
| JeremyinNC | Umair: You need an SSH server on your android device | 18:02 |
| Umair | ah I thought it already had OpenSSh | 18:02 |

| codephobic | /LANIP/Folder/ /media/Folder cifs credentials=/root/.acccreds,iocharset=utf8,file_mode=0777,dir_mode=0777 0 0 << works perfectly for a folder shared by Windows 7 but not for a folder shared by ReadyNAS duo. Even though both work in 12.10. | 18:02 |
| pr_confidential | sorry for the descriptive language, :S | 18:03 |
| myersg | Monkeydust I upgraded to the 13.04 beta version of ubuntu, how to I upgrade to the full release version? | 18:03 |
| pr_confidential | I don't want any little things hiding in there so I wanted to browse at cafes safely. I think the usb option may be easiest | 18:04 |
| MonkeyDust | myersg no, simply sudo apt-get update;sudo apt-get upgrade should do the trick | 18:04 |
| myersg | ok | 18:04 |

| spiff_ | Hello all, what is the verdict on 13.04? Good? | 18:15 |
| darthanubis | yup | 18:15 |
| darthanubis | so far so good | 18:15 |
| earspliT | be wary with nvidia card though | 18:15 |
| blazemore | I like it, it's what 11.10 should have been | 18:15 |
| darthanubis | my one box lost dual screen though | 18:15 |
| earspliT | *12.10? | 18:16 |
| blazemore | 11.10 | 18:16 |
| darthanubis | still working on that | 18:16 |
| sect0r | Upgraded to 13.04, what would stop my background from being displayed and prevent me from "right" clicking on the desktop? | 18:16 |
| spiff_ | Ok, sounds promising. | 18:16 |
| darthanubis | nvidia sees the TV but won't output to it | 18:16 |
| blazemore | sect0r: The application "nautilus" draws the wallpaper and deals with the desktop | 18:16 |
| p0wn3d | spiff: I would try it in a VM first before trashing 12.04 . | 18:16 |
| === DocGrooveAway is now known as DocGroove | ||
| spiff_ | Is virtualbox and 13.04 as a client friends? | 18:16 |
| Gnea | darthanubis: you should be able to re-enable it with nvidia-settings | 18:17 |
| blazemore | sect0r: Not sure exactly how to deal with your specific issue but I hope that allows you to look in the right direction | 18:17 |
| blazemore | spiff_: Yes | 18:17 |
| spiff_ | blazemore, ok | 18:17 |
| sect0r | hmm | 18:18 |
| x2 | uh, is there any way to make ubuntu treat events when I put both my fingers on touchpad as just a usual mouse movement? | 18:18 |
| darthanubis | Gnea, I did. I even rm'd the xorg file, ran nvidia-xconfig. I think the cards hdmi port must be defective. But it was working. I'll have to figure it out. | 18:19 |
| === DocGroove is now known as DocGrooveAway | ||

| Gnea | darthanubis: I'd make sure they're fully plugged in, at the very least | 18:23 |

| comjf_ | Question: My computer freezes and dies about once a day on very version of ubuntu since 12.04 (it doesn't do it on arch linux) I can't seem to find steps to consistantly reproduce it. All I want to know is, where in the /var/log can help me troubleshoot this issue. Can't find anything in dmesg, or syslog. The computer completely freezes, unable to ssh in or do anything | 18:26 |
| comjf_ | every version of ubuntu since* | 18:26 |
| hirru27 | anyone know how to show a popup from pc1 to pc2 via popup using shell script? | 18:26 |
| lykwydchykyn | comjf: hard freezes like that are usually a graphics driver crash | 18:27 |
| comjf_ | lykwydchykyn: is that in the log somewhere? | 18:27 |
| spiff_ | x2, https://help.ubuntu.com/community/SynapticsTouchpad | 18:27 |
| hirru27 | anyone know how to show a popup from pc1 to pc2 via popup using shell script? its a message popup | 18:27 |
| lykwydchykyn | comjf_: might be in /var/log/Xorg.0.log, but I've had some where I had to go through some arduous process to turn on verbose logging for X | 18:27 |
| lykwydchykyn | hirru27: do you have ssh access between the systems? | 18:28 |
| Cornwallis | Would anybody be willing to help troubleshoot a problem with installation of IDLE? I think it's more a Ubuntu issue than being IDLE specific...have the error codes. | 18:29 |
| TheMan1101 | hirru27: As always, that depends on your specific problem, simplest solution would be to use pdigin with local bonjour | 18:29 |
| x2 | spiff_: but I have openbox instead of gnome | 18:29 |
| x2 | I used to play with synclient proerties, but the behaviour is still the same | 18:30 |
| Cornwallis | http://textdump.net/raw/1976/ These errors keep my IDLE3 from running upon starting it. Any idea how to fix it? | 18:30 |
| blazemore | Cornwallis: That looks like a bug in the application, Cornwallis, not something specific to Ubuntu. How did you install IDLE3? | 18:31 |
| hirru27 | i want to do is, i can send a popup message(like an alert popup) to a pc in a network and the user will only click ok on the dialog box | 18:31 |
| Cornwallis | blazemore: i installed it via terminal sudo apt-get install idle3 | 18:32 |
| excervo | hirru27, are you reffering to network popups? | 18:32 |
| lykwydchykyn | hirru27: if you have remote shell access (e.g. ssh) the simplest way is to pipe a message into "wall" on the remote box. | 18:32 |
| hirru27 | the thing is i want it to be just a popup..the "Wall" send messages through terminal | 18:33 |
| blazemore | Cornwallis: Sorry, I don't know enough about it to help you :c | 18:33 |
| hirru27 | excervo, what do mean by network popup? | 18:33 |
| lykwydchykyn | hirru27: most DE's also do a popup for wall | 18:33 |
| Cornwallis | blazemore: i appreciate it. :) do you know of any way i could help troubleshoot this though, maybe by even restoring ubuntu to default settings? | 18:34 |
| hirru27 | lykwydchykyn, im using gnome3 | 18:34 |
| blazemore | Cornwallis: Has it ever worked? | 18:34 |
| Cornwallis | cornwallis: idle? nope, i just installed it today actually. | 18:34 |
| hirru27 | can we do like a shell script to make a popup from pc1(admin) to pc2(user)? | 18:34 |
| blazemore | What is it? A python IDE? | 18:35 |
| Cornwallis | blazemore: idle? nope i just installed it today actually. and yeah it's a python ide. | 18:35 |
| blazemore | Cornwallis: See if they have an IRC channel of their own | 18:35 |
| hirru27 | its only popup so the user will only click ok | 18:35 |
| Cornwallis | blazemore: will do. thank you very much sir. :) | 18:35 |
| excervo | hirru27, you may want to use popup notification | 18:36 |
| hirru27 | excervo, how to do it? | 18:36 |
| lykwydchykyn | hirru27: You can do something like zenity, but you'll have to set DISLAY and all that nonsense. Are you sure GNOME3 doesn't display wall as a notification? | 18:36 |
| excervo | hirru27, just intsll it | 18:36 |
| hirru27 | nope, i tried it. lykwydchykyn | 18:36 |

| Dr_willis | Empathy supports this, but you need to activate it. It is called people nearby | 18:37 |
| excervo | hirru27, try to read this guide http://ospa.arvat.org/pop-up-notification-from-command-line/ | 18:38 |

| hirru27 | blazemore, connection refused foo | 18:40 |
| hirru27 | blazemore, the problem with ssh is that i configured the port to my home port 1212 but it still using port 22..why is that? | 18:41 |
| blazemore | hirru27: do you use ssh already? | 18:41 |
| spiff_ | hirru27, have you restarted or HUPed the server? | 18:42 |
| adamk | hirru27: How did yu configure it to use 1212? | 18:42 |
| hirru27 | spiff_ yes | 18:42 |
| blazemore | hirru27: you can specify the port with ssh user@host -p 1212 I think | 18:42 |
| hirru27 | and yes | 18:42 |
| genii-around | systemclient: upower -i /org/freedesktop/UPower/devices/battery_BAT0 | grep percent | 18:42 |

| blazemore | systemclient: the folder /sys/class/power_supply/BAT0 contains info too | 18:42 |
| hirru27 | sshd_config adamk | 18:43 |
| systemclient | blazemore: I see, maybe I write a small program to compute something with it for me | 18:43 |
| blazemore | systemclient: Google for "battery percentage linux command line" | 18:43 |
| genii-around | systemclient: If you omit the | grep percent part you get a lot of other info too | 18:43 |
| spiff_ | hirru27, tried executing a netstat -4n? | 18:43 |
| blazemore | systemclient: There are lots of examples, including how to get the percentage and time remaining on your console prompt, which I just found and am going to use :) | 18:43 |
| Dr_willis | blazemore, i belive tmux/byobu has a way to have that in a status bar at the bottom of the console | 18:45 |
| hirru27 | spiff_ not yet | 18:45 |
| hirru27 | spiff_, done | 18:46 |

| hirru27 | ssh error unable to connect user@ip using port 22: connection refused | 18:47 |
| llutz | hirru27: "connection refused" means: nothing listening on this port | 18:47 |
| systemclient | hirru27: sounds like there is no SSH server or a firewall blocking | 18:47 |
| llutz | hirru27: so if you changed ssh-server to listen on 1212, use "ssh -p 1212 user@host" | 18:47 |
| hirru27 | i didnt setup a firewall yet | 18:48 |
| llutz | hirru27: or just change the host/port settings in ~/.ssh/config | 18:48 |

| as2000 | MonkeyDust I just want to edit the colors, not the scheme | 18:53 |
| Zane | Do I need to get a CD with the new Ubuntu version (13.04), or could I find an upgrade online to add in addition to Ubuntu 12.10 & my OS Windows 7? | 18:53 |

| hirru27 | llutz, what data do you want to know | 18:56 |
| johnjohn1011 | zane: update-manager -d | 18:56 |

| hirru27 | llutz, yes | 18:57 |
| johnjohn1011 | Zane: yes use terminal | 18:57 |
| Zane | I tried sudo update-manager -d in terminal, and its loading something. | 18:57 |
| llutz | hirru27: did you use "ssh -p 1212 user@host" or did you add the "notify-send...."? | 18:58 |
| hirru27 | llutz, i didnt add the notify-send | 18:58 |
| Zane | I don't actually see an Ubuntu 13.04 upgrade, but I'll just install the recommended updates I guess? I'll take a snapshot & show you.. | 18:59 |

| gordonjcp | Slaizer: remove firestarter and all its weird rules | 20:36 |

| theadmin | spiff_: Depends. For myself? 13.04, because I prefer to be up-to-date and with the latest features and I'd update as soon as the new release is out anyways. For someone else? 12.04, because longer support is a major advantage. | 21:06 |
| spiff_ | theadmin ok. | 21:07 |
| shankstaBytes | why isnt | 21:07 |
| mexia | can anyone here help me with installing ubuntu 13.04 on toshiba C850 | 21:07 |

| shankstaBytes | am i suppose to install Nvidia drivers some other way now? | 21:07 |
| soulflare3 | shankstaBytes, you need bumblebee for nvidia drivers | 21:08 |
| auronandace | shankstaBytes: through software sources | 21:08 |
| theadmin | shankstaBytes: It's been integrated into software-properties, see System Settings -> Software & Updates -> Additional Drivers | 21:08 |
| soulflare3 | and install with the repo | 21:08 |
| theadmin | soulflare3: That's not always necessary, don't suggest things like that without even knowing the exact card | 21:08 |
| mickey12 | hey, does anyone have suggestions on how to get rid of dns queries for "local" at startup? someone suggested editing /etc/resolv.conf, but it did not help | 21:09 |
| mickey12 | no one? | 21:10 |
| mickey12 | :/ | 21:10 |
| lykwydchykyn | mickey12: What's causing the queries and why is it a problem? | 21:11 |
| shankstaBytes | ubuntu uses nepomuk? | 21:11 |
| shankstaBytes | that was a kde thing wasn't it | 21:11 |

| wilee-nilee | mrbagginsjff, It is a unstable one and honestly if you can't find it and do it yourself I am hesitant here. | 21:34 |
| Dr_willis | Samba is not automacially included/installed by default (for a server) but i think the default file manger can access windows shares. | 21:34 |
| Jpmh | theadmin: ty - glad we are on the same track - I can ceryainly believe that unetnbootin may not be great for Windoze | 21:34 |

| aliendude5300 | 13.04 broke GRUB and I can't boot at all now | 21:40 |
| Biomechd | aliendude5300: there's a program you can install and run from a liveboot that will allow you to fix the boot manager. | 21:40 |
| Dr_willis | aliendude5300, a live cd + the boot-repair tool works for many people | 21:41 |
| Dr_willis | !fixgrub | 21:41 |

| Dr_willis | perhaps someday they will include boot-repair by default. ;P | 21:41 |
| gar_onn | aliendude5300, can you run update-grub in the rescue prompt ? | 21:41 |
| yeats | aliendude5300: do you have /home on a separate partition? | 21:41 |
| aliendude5300 | Yeats: no | 21:41 |
| aliendude5300 | gar_onn, I'll try | 21:41 |
| soulflare3 | Biomechd, you need to check several settings in the Samba Server Configuration to make sure that Windows is being allowed access to the shares, as well as making sure the computers are on the same workgroup, whether or not the shares are visible, etc | 21:42 |
| soulflare3 | Biomechd, are you doing shares or machines? | 21:42 |
| yeats | aliendude5300: then you'll need to back it up and reinstall - if you don't format anything, you aren't really upgrading :-/ | 21:42 |
| aliendude5300 | gar_onn, no, that does not work | 21:42 |
| yeats | aliendude5300: when you reinstall, put /home on its own partition | 21:42 |

| deadweasel | where can I save a file on an usb-creator made liveUSB with 4GB persistence partition? | 21:43 |
| aliendude5300 | gar_onn: yes, I can | 21:43 |
| Biomechd | yeats: does that mean that upgrading from 12.10 to 13.04 will cause problems? i have a wubi install. | 21:43 |
| wilee-nilee | deadweasel, what file? | 21:43 |
| MonkeyDust | wubi :( | 21:43 |
| jbud | Biomechd: I don't think it'd work? 13.04 doesn't support wubi anymore | 21:43 |
| deadweasel | a 1.1mb trucrypt file wilee-nilee | 21:43 |
| yeats | Biomechd: upgrading is different | 21:44 |
| Dr_willis | Biomechd, you upgraded a wubi install to 13.04 ? | 21:44 |
| MonkeyDust | Biomechd IIRC, it's not possibe to upgrade wubi | 21:44 |
| Biomechd | soulflare3: i'm into conveniences, and don't like having to get up and go to my other computer to transfer files. | 21:44 |
| yeats | Biomechd: and I can't speak to wubi - I would recommend dual booting | 21:44 |
| wilee-nilee | deadweasel, Copy and paste it to somewhere else. | 21:44 |
| gar_onn | aliendude5300, you could try to install again over your failed instalation | 21:44 |
| k1l_ | Biomechd: wubi will cause problems. no matter what you do. go for a native install | 21:44 |
| Biomechd | to everyone talking to me about wubi, it's a wubi dualboot. | 21:44 |
| deadweasel | anywhere on the USB? | 21:44 |
| deadweasel | wilee-nilee: | 21:44 |
| aliendude5300 | I think I'm just going to copy my /home to my 1TB external, wipe it, and reinstall | 21:44 |
| Dr_willis | Wubi dual boot is a little redundant.. a 'normal' dual boot has its own seperate partions. a 'wubi' install installs to a file on the windows drive | 21:45 |
| Dr_willis | Upgradeing wubi installs has always been problematic | 21:45 |
| deadweasel | or the .disk folder? | 21:45 |
| MonkeyDust | Biomechd wubi is a pseudo-installation inside windows | 21:45 |
| wilee-nilee | deadweasel, If it is a file only where ever you want it. A persistent usb will fill up the casper-rw eventually so beware of being bricked. | 21:45 |
| deadweasel | gotcha, that's all I need on there. | 21:45 |
| gar_onn | aliendude5300, I think that might actually be the best thing you can do | 21:45 |
| Biomechd | MonkeyDust: it's a school laptop and i didn't wanna mess it up by native-dualbooting it. | 21:46 |
| yeats | Biomechd: dual-booting isn't messing it up any more than wubi :-) | 21:46 |
| MonkeyDust | Biomechd a dual boot is more normal and efficient than a wubi pseudo-installation | 21:47 |
| Dr_willis | Ive ran full installs from a 8gb+ sized usb flash drives. ;) seems to work ok.. not super fast. but good enough for 'work' | 21:47 |
| MonkeyDust | Biomechd wubi means 'will ultimately be inefficient' | 21:47 |

| Physicist | MonkeyDust: Another PC.. not mine | 21:49 |
| Biomechd | yeats and MonkeyDust: i figured it would be far easier and safer to just install wubi as a program since it allowed me to have ubuntu on my laptop without having to mess with anything that complex and wubi just handled most of the stuff for me. | 21:49 |
| Physicist | k1l_: ..|. | 21:49 |
| theadmin | Physicist: That's illegal and nobody on Freenode will help you with that. | 21:49 |
| Dr_willis | Physicist, if the other pc is on the lan and working as a file server. You can use the connect to server feature of nautilus | 21:49 |
| MonkeyDust | Biomechd true, but it's only pseudo, it's not 'real', wubi is for testing purposes, not for production | 21:49 |

| OerHeks | there is 13.04 wubi, it will be discontinued in 13.10 AFAIK | 21:51 |
| Vampir3 | how can i solve this problem? | 21:51 |
| MonkeyDust | Biomechd wubi is utterly inferior to a 'real' installation | 21:51 |
| Biomechd | bcbc2: so upgrading a 12.10 wubi ubuntu to 13.04 will be fine? | 21:51 |
| Dr_willis | 'wubi and fine' in the same sentance. rarely seems to happen | 21:51 |
| gar_onn | Biomechd, you can just do `sudo do-release-upgrade` | 21:51 |
| bcbc2 | Biomechd: yeah. Take precautions. The upgrade tool underestimates the space required so make sure you have 3 GB free | 21:51 |
| yeats | Biomechd: pretty much everybody in here is recommending against that ;-) | 21:51 |
| wilee-nilee | bcbc2, Thanks for confirming that I had thought it was discontinued. ;) | 21:52 |
| gar_onn | tor use the updater | 21:52 |
| theadmin | bcbc2: wubi.exe on the ISO is just a tool to reboot nowadays, basically. It also includes the CD boot helper which can include the CD in the Windows bootloader. | 21:52 |
| bcbc2 | Biomechd: also, you can backup the \ubuntu\disks\root.disk from Windoows first if you run into probs | 21:52 |
| soulflare3 | WUBI info: http://www.ubuntu.com/download/desktop/install-ubuntu-with-windows | 21:52 |
| bcbc2 | wilee-nilee: I think it is officially discontinued | 21:52 |
| bcbc2 | don't know why it's there. but it is and it's signed by canonical | 21:52 |
| MonkeyDust | even now wubi is 'dead', it still upsets people | 21:53 |
| Dr_willis | MonkeyDust, its like a dead goldfish no one wants to scoop out of the tank... | 21:53 |
| theadmin | MonkeyDust: I personally am glad. WUBI installs are slow because very few ever heard of defragmentation. | 21:53 |
| aliendude5300 | theadmin, I thought you didn't have to defrag a Linux install | 21:54 |
| Dr_willis | alien2050, wubis disk files exist ON a fragmented NTFS (or can) | 21:54 |
| Biomechd | so i freed about 1.9gb before upgrading (since i only had around .9 before), so i thought i'd be fine. | 21:54 |
| bcbc2 | theadmin: ok that makes sense. Don't think many people use the cd boot helper, but interesting to know | 21:54 |
| theadmin | Dr_willis: They don't "can", they do because they're over 4GB and Windows supports only FAT and NTFS, so... NTFS is the only option for wubi | 21:54 |
| darren | hi all, can anyone offer some advice on setting iptables rules to block incoming traffic? | 21:55 |
| soulflare3 | I always noticed that WUBI was a lot slower than a true Ubuntu install on an EXT3/EXT4 partition | 21:55 |
| yeats | darren: try using UFW | 21:55 |
| Vampir3 | hi everybody, i try to install ubuntu 13.04 from usb twice, in both of them the installation was complete but grub dont install and system boot only windows | 21:55 |
| wilee-nilee | bcbc2, Yeah I'm in W8 not a uefi right now it is downloading 13.04 | 21:55 |
| bcbc2 | Biomechd: 1.9 might work but it's cutting it fine | 21:55 |
| bcbc2 | Biomechd: I'd say minimum of 3GB | 21:56 |
| === DocGroove is now known as DocGrooveAway | ||
| Biomechd | bcbc2: is it okay to pause the "getting new packages" process so i can get my laptop wirelessly connected to my desktop and backup my files? | 21:57 |
| bcbc2 | Biomechd: if it's still getting new packages you can cancel and resume later. It's only once it starts the upgrade that you're in trouble | 21:57 |
| soulflare3 | Vampir3, Try this https://help.ubuntu.com/community/Boot-Repair | 21:58 |
| Biomechd | bcbc2: it's only like 1/4 done with package-getting anyway. | 21:58 |
| bcbc2 | Biomechd: then cancel. It's better to make a backup before upgrading. | 21:59 |
| Elephant454 | How long is the update supposed to take, excluding the download time. | 21:59 |
| darren | yeats: thank you I will have a look at that | 22:00 |
| theadmin | Elephant454: Depends on how much extra software you installed/removed and also what kind of hard drive you have. Hard to tell. | 22:00 |
| Elephant454 | Ok. In most cases, is it hours like it says? A completely fresh installation would take hours to update? | 22:00 |
| Kion | is it ok to update to 13.04 now or are the servers very busy and I shold wait a couple weeks or so? | 22:01 |
| Dr_willis | Elephant454, it has in the past for me yes.. | 22:01 |
| Dr_willis | Kion, i would wait a few days. or use the torrents to get the iso and upgrade that way | 22:01 |
| Elephant454 | Ok, I better hold off on it for now then. Thank you! | 22:01 |
| bazhang | Elephant454, of the latest? via http or torrent? or did you mean an online version upgrade | 22:01 |
| Kion | Dr_willis: how do I upgrade with the iso? | 22:01 |
| Elephant454 | I meant through an existing installation. | 22:01 |
| darren | yeats: i originally looked at ufw but I attempting to block all incoming access on a certain port and filter on MAC address to only allow a couple of devices access | 22:01 |
| Dr_willis | Kion, mount it and i belive it asks.. I always do clean installs | 22:01 |
| Kion | Dr_willis: sounds like torrent is the way to go | 22:01 |
| darren | not sure if that is possible on ufw | 22:02 |
| Elephant454 | I'm going to try that too! :D | 22:02 |
| bazhang | Elephant454, well, it was released yesterday, so the servers would be slower | 22:02 |
| Kion | Dr_willis: is there a particular reason to do clean installs instead of upgrading? | 22:02 |
| Dr_willis | upgrades take longer.. | 22:02 |
| Dr_willis | and can be problematic | 22:02 |
| Dr_willis | I also beta test a LOT of things during beta so it gives me a clean slate | 22:03 |
| Elephant454 | Yea. That makes sense. I'm going to try and get a .iso from torrent. Thank you everyone. :) | 22:03 |
| Kion | Dr_willis: I see, for me it will be an upgrade since I have so much software and configurations that would not like to start over | 22:03 |
| Dr_willis | i rarely have any fancy configs that are not allreay backed up to UbuntuOne | 22:03 |
| Kion | Dr_willis: Are the isos available at the main ubuntu site? | 22:03 |
| Biomechd | so the program i've been talking about this whole time for accessing/transferring files over the network wirelessly is the default "browse networks" thing | 22:03 |
| yeats | darren: yeah - I don't see per-MAC address options in gufw | 22:03 |
| SN3 | hi | 22:04 |
| Dr_willis | Biomechd, thats the nautilus file manager 'server browse' feature. | 22:04 |
| SN3 | does ubuntu 13.04 come with gnome 3.18? | 22:04 |
| SN3 | 3.8* | 22:04 |
| wilee-nilee | SN3, no | 22:04 |
| wilee-nilee | a full 3.8 is pointed at 11.10 | 22:05 |
| wilee-nilee | 13.10* | 22:05 |
| SN3 | wilee-nilee is it possible to install it? | 22:05 |
| Dr_willis | i belive theres some 3.8 ppa's out there. | 22:05 |
| aliendude5300 | my ubuntu live cd feels really unstable. it frequently freezes and I get loads of kernel error messages. really odd. I verified the integrity of it too. :/ | 22:05 |
| wilee-nilee | SN3, NOt a stable version as far as I have read. | 22:06 |
| darren | yeats: that is a shame I will have to see if I can think of a way around it. Thanks for your help | 22:06 |
| Elephant454 | Would an upgrade from a DVD be faster than updating it from inside Ubuntu? | 22:06 |
| aliendude5300 | maybe my hardware is too new for 13.04 | 22:06 |
| SN3 | then I am looking for another distro | 22:06 |
| SN3 | I love to use gnome | 22:06 |
| Dr_willis | Elephant454, since the iso is allready downloaded (via the blazeing fast torrents) i would think so | 22:06 |
| Elephant454 | Why not just use gnome with ubuntu? | 22:06 |
| yeats | darren: some examples are here: http://www.cyberciti.biz/tips/iptables-mac-address-filtering.html | 22:06 |
| SN3 | any one knows a distro with gnome 3.8 as default? | 22:06 |
| Dr_willis | SN3, i dont think any exist yet. since 3.8 is so new | 22:06 |
| k1l_ | !ot | SN3 | 22:07 |
| ubottu | SN3: #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! | 22:07 |
| wilee-nilee | Elephant454, I don't think you can do a upgrade and save data with a disc anymore used to be the alternative disc did | 22:07 |
| Dr_willis | SN3, try the 3.8 ppa and see if it works. | 22:07 |
| Elephant454 | Hmm... | 22:07 |
| Dr_willis | !upgrade | 22:07 |
| ubottu | For upgrading, see the instructions at https://help.ubuntu.com/community/UpgradeNotes - see also http://www.ubuntu.com/desktop/get-ubuntu/upgrade | 22:07 |
| Elephant454 | I might have to wait then. Darn. :/ | 22:07 |
| Dr_willis | I thought the desktop cd had that feature since 12.04 | 22:07 |
| k1l_ | Elephant454: there is a gnome ubuntu since 13.04 | 22:08 |
| Elephant454 | I'll see if I can update from the CD anyways. I bet the torrent is almost done anyways. XD | 22:08 |
| Dr_willis | Elephant454, yep. they are fast for now | 22:08 |
| bazhang | wilee-nilee, sure you can | 22:08 |
| bazhang | wilee-nilee, I just did it a few hours ago | 22:08 |
| wilee-nilee | bazhang, I was just reading that yeah, my mistake. | 22:09 |
| bazhang | Elephant454, you most assuredly CAN | 22:09 |
| Biomechd | Dr_willis: okay, so now how do i get it connecting to my windows machine? | 22:09 |
| Dr_willis | Biomechd, i just use the connect to server dialog. or browse the windows network and click.. | 22:10 |
| darren | yeats: cheers. That is one of the pages I was reading trying to get this working but it wasnt having it :). I could block specific devices but then when i blocked all traffic and added an accept for a certain mac it still got dropped | 22:10 |
| Dr_willis | or enter the server name/share -> smb://ip.of.server.orname/sharename | 22:10 |
| k1l_ | Biomechd: like i told you before. that is gvfs | 22:10 |

| Kion | Dr_willis: seems to me like the iso torrent is for a clean install | 22:11 |
| Biomechd | urg. it's saying it can't mount the file shares. | 22:11 |
| Dr_willis | Kion, the desktop cd can do a upgrade.. from what was mentioned above | 22:11 |
| darren | yeats: it seems as though if there is a drop all on a certain port it will drop everything even if there is an accept higher in the list. If that makes sense | 22:11 |
| Dr_willis | Biomechd, you made some guest shares on the windows box? tried disabling its firewall to test? | 22:11 |
| Kion | Dr_willis: Ok I hope I do not mess up my system because it is a production machine for me! | 22:12 |
| Biomechd | Dr_willis: no, i haven't made any guest shares. i'm just trying to access my account on it. | 22:12 |
| Dr_willis | Kion, then you should have backups befor you upgrade | 22:12 |
| bazhang | Kion, the iso can do a version upgrade | 22:12 |
| Dr_willis | Biomechd, make a guest share and see.. could be a windows settin thats causing the issues | 22:12 |
| Kion | Dr_willis: for my past experience the download through the update manager is waaay bigger than the iso image | 22:12 |
| soulflare3 | Biomechd, Are you using Windows 7 by any chance? | 22:13 |
| Kion | bazhang: So I mount it and it will guide me? | 22:13 |
| bazhang | Kion, you would need some kind of media, such as dvd or usb stick | 22:14 |
| Dr_willis | I thought ive mounted the iso file befor and got asked to upgrade.. | 22:14 |
| Dr_willis | but it might have seen the ISO file i had just imaged to the usb.. | 22:14 |
| Kion | bazhang: Ok got that I will burn it to a usb via unetbootin and start from it right? | 22:14 |
| bazhang | Kion, correct | 22:15 |
| Kion | bazhang: Thanks! I guess I will go the torrent way, so That I also seed the iso for other people | 22:15 |

| Biomechd | n47781: ctrl-alt-t, i think, or alt-t if that doesn't work, or ctrl-t if neither works. | 22:55 |
| n47781 | thanks! | 22:55 |
| wilee-nilee | n47781, ctrl-alt-t or hot the windows key and type terminal or click the top button in the left panel and type terminal | 22:55 |
| wilee-nilee | hit* | 22:55 |
| Biomechd | i just have a shortcut for it in my unity dash | 22:55 |
| n47781 | ctrl-alt-t worked, should be fine to memorize and use just that then. | 22:56 |
| Biomechd | i can never remember which one it is, so i just try them all until one works when i can't just click on my "terminal" shortcut | 22:57 |

| n47781 | can be done after install..? | 22:57 |
| Biomechd | (like when unity decides to crash on me, for example) | 22:57 |
| n47781 | windows7*^^ | 22:57 |
| Biomechd | n47781: once you go ubuntu, you'll pretty much only use windows for gaming. | 22:58 |
| n47781 | yeah cool. im hoping to find ways to play some games on linux too, to hopefully avoid win completely | 22:59 |

| n47781 | im in Ubuntu12.04 desktop install now and for "Installation Type" I can choose to install Ubuntu "..alongside Win7", "Replace Win7 with Ubuntu" and "Something else". I have 2 disks, one 2TB-sized one, and another 500gb one.. any idea if it will take use of them both if I pick "Replace Win7 with Ubuntu" ? Afraid I dont understand enough to use the partition manager thing in "Something | 23:12 |
| n47781 | else".. but will try if its the best way | 23:12 |
| Malgorath | n47781, are you wanting to completely remove windows? | 23:12 |
| n47781 | yes, and removing all files on both disks is also fine | 23:13 |
| n47781 | ( i have backup on an external disk i hope to reach after installing Ubuntu ) | 23:13 |
| Malgorath | n47781, Which drive is your 'primary' drive? As in which one boots? | 23:13 |
| n47781 | 500gb | 23:13 |
| n47781 | but uh, i think something weird happened with it once.. so some of the boot files (boot manager?) is on the 2tb disk.. :s not all sure bout it.. | 23:14 |
| Malgorath | It will most likely just install it all to that drive and skip the 2TB drive | 23:14 |
| n47781 | oh.. k, so Ill have to figure out the 'Someting else'-option then.. k.. thanks, will try.. | 23:14 |
| Malgorath | If you want to use both hard drives, click te something else. Make 1 swap partition on it, make the rest a root partion (mount: /) | 23:15 |
| Jordan_U | n47781: To have Ubuntu make use of both disks for the actual installation you'd need to use the "Something else" option, though of course you can always just install to one disk and use the other however you'd like. | 23:15 |
| asadpakistani | where can i find a collection of 1980x1080 grub background images....or how can make my own | 23:15 |
| Malgorath | n47781, then make the 2TB drive 1 partition and mount it as /home | 23:15 |
| Jordan_U | asadpakistani: Find a 1980x1080 PNG file, or make your own. | 23:15 |
| timh | guys anyone has toshiba brightness working with intel videocard? | 23:15 |
| asadpakistani | Jordan_U: i tried saving it as a tga in gimp...no luck | 23:16 |
| Malgorath | that way your directhas the most storage capacity and if you have to reinstall, you have the option to do so without formatting and loosing everything | 23:16 |
| n47781 | k,thanks.. will try.. | 23:16 |
| Jordan_U | asadpakistani: I really meant PNG. Grub supports PNG files (unless you mean grub legacy, in which case you're on your own). | 23:16 |
| Malgorath | n47781, there are a few articles on multipe drive setup for ubuntu out there on google | 23:17 |
| Anti-Sleep | Greetings. | 23:17 |
| Biomechd | go to sleep Anti-Sleep. | 23:18 |
| Anti-Sleep | Heh. | 23:18 |
| Jordan_U | asadpakistani: grub also supports jpeg, but why go with a lossy format :) | 23:19 |
| Biomechd | Jordan_U: because it's like "glossy" without the "g", yo! | 23:20 |
| Biomechd | lol | 23:20 |

| alien2050 | ne1 knows if there is a way to dynamically change the title of any gnome window, for example I want to add the time a certain app was started or some other info, at the end of, for example, "firefox" app, or "pidgin", or "vnc" application? I can see it's feasible with gnome-terminal but only because the application has the option to do it... is there a generic way that would wrap around gnome (like some other tool...) ? thx | 23:24 |
| macwolf74 | AndChat|15, maybe wrong video drivers? | 23:24 |
| aliendude5300 | were workspaces removed in 13.04? | 23:24 |
| Jordan_U | AndChat|15: Can you pastebin the output of "glxinfo"? (You may need to install glxinfo first). | 23:25 |
| Jordan_U | aliendude5300: No. | 23:25 |
| macwolf74 | aliendude5300, no, just go into appearance on the settings, and then go in that other tab | 23:25 |
| AndChat|15 | Opensuse is faster | 23:25 |
| macwolf74 | the option will be there | 23:25 |
| crash_cy | Trying to get a usb wireless Logitech mouse working on my laptop (running Ubuntu 12.10). It shows up under lsusb as "Logitech Unifying Receiver" | 23:25 |
| papachan | AndChat|15: disagree | 23:25 |
| macwolf74 | that tab is behavior aliendude5300 | 23:25 |

| AndChat|15 | Wireless keyboards work here logitech | 23:27 |
| AndChat|15 | Is 13.04 beta | 23:27 |
| Jordan_U | AndChat|15: No, it has been released. | 23:27 |
| macwolf74 | nope | 23:27 |
| macwolf74 | released just yesturday | 23:27 |
| crash_cy | AndChat, did you have to do anything special to set it up? Did you set it up post install? Really don't want to have to reinstall Ubuntu to get it setup | 23:27 |
| Awolf | Empathy isnt connectig to fb | 23:28 |
| macwolf74 | crash_cy, you can just use the update manager and upgrade if you are on 12.10 | 23:28 |
| Awolf | authentication failure | 23:28 |
| Awolf | i checked everything on fb | 23:28 |
| Awolf | and otherthings | 23:28 |
| Awolf | nothings wrong | 23:28 |
| Awolf | any sollutions | 23:28 |
| macwolf74 | did you restart? | 23:28 |
| Awolf | no solution | 23:28 |
| macwolf74 | that helped for me | 23:29 |
| macwolf74 | oh | 23:29 |
| Awolf | still after restart | 23:29 |
| crash_cy | macwolf, I've not done an upgrade before (very new to ubuntu). Do I need to backup my files beforehand? | 23:29 |
| macwolf74 | crash_cy, it is VERY recommended to | 23:29 |
| Biafra | Okay, trying to do a clean install of Ubuntu 13.04 is not working for me. It either shoots out what looks like either an oops or a panic (without nomodeset) or locks the screen (with nomodeset). | 23:29 |
| AndChat|15 | crash_cy: i just had receiver pluged in during install i think | 23:29 |
| Jordan_U | crash_cy: You should always have backups of important files, no matter what you do. | 23:29 |
| crash_cy | And that's the only way to get a new mouse recognized in the os? | 23:29 |
| macwolf74 | I don't believe so o.o | 23:29 |
| papachan | crash_cy: no, the upgrade wont affect your file in Home directory | 23:29 |
| papachan | crash_cy: only the things in the trash :D | 23:30 |
| macwolf74 | you can just probably plug in the mouse and it will work | 23:30 |
| n47781 | I've set my 2TB disk to be 'ext4' and Mount: /home Now I have the 500gb disk remaining, should I split it into similar-sized partitions and setup Mount points: / , /boot , /tmp etc on it (do I need all these?)? and besides 'Ext4' I can pick 'swap area', I guess thats required? can I make it any size or should be minimum X gigabytes? | 23:30 |
| AndChat|15 | Does 13.04 outof box install nvidis | 23:30 |
| papachan | after upgrate to 13.04 i suggest to execute sudo apt-get clena | 23:30 |
| papachan | sudo apt-get clean | 23:30 |
| lucas_ | hey guys, I kinda have a question but it's Xfce related so I don't know if this is the place to ask and it seems kinda busy right now in here. | 23:31 |
| Biafra | n47781, the only requirements are /boot, /, and swap | 23:31 |
| wilee-nilee | n47781, Most have at the most a separate home and root and swap | 23:31 |
| Jordan_U | lucas_: It's always busy in here, don't let that deter you :) | 23:31 |
| Biafra | anything else is optional | 23:31 |
| crash_cy | macwolf, mouse is plugged in (or the usb receiver anyway), and it shows under lsusb, but the mouse isn't working | 23:31 |
| n47781 | k thanks | 23:31 |
| Jordan_U | Biafra: n47781: A speparate /boot/ is both not required, and not recommended. Keep /boot/ as part of your root filesystem unless you have a compelling reason not to (like a buggy BIOS). | 23:32 |
| lucas_ | alright Jordan_U :) does anyone knows what's going on here? I have two sound indicators http://i.imgur.com/8HOrcnU.png I had only one at first (ubuntu netinstall 13.04) but in the process of installing all of my stuff It seems to be a duplicate now and I have no idea what it could be | 23:32 |
| Tanshin | I gotta question real quick for anyone who can answer... Does the Linksys WMP54G wireless card have good linux support? | 23:32 |
| AndChat|15 | crash_cy: try changing batteries or usb port. | 23:32 |
| Tanshin | Well, Ubuntu specifically. | 23:32 |
| Jordan_U | n47781: If you want to be able to suspend to disk (hibernate) you should either have a swap file or swap partition the same size as your physical RAM. | 23:33 |
| Biafra | Jordan_U, I've always found most times it is with BIOSes, as they are rarely non-buggy from my experience | 23:33 |
| AndChat|15 | crash_cy: do you have to pair devices. | 23:33 |
| autibyte | Hi, I'm having trouble mapping what's normally <super> + <s> with Compiz settings on 13.04. No matter what I change it to, the shortcut <super> + <s> always works | 23:34 |
| crash_cy | AndChat, I've tried swapping it to different usb ports, no change | 23:34 |
| n47781 | so if I assign "/home" the whole 2tb disk, then give "/" 460gb of the 500gb disk (and both 'ext4' file system), and 40gb swap (RAM is only 4gb though..).. sounds fine? | 23:34 |
| Jordan_U | Biafra: It's true that it's extremely rare to find non-buggy boot firmware, but it's still rare to find boot firmware that is buggy in a way that requires you to have a separate /boot/ partition (especially on newer machines). | 23:34 |
| crash_cy | Hold on... I found the problem and am so ashamed and disgraced I will never be able to return | 23:35 |
| Jordan_U | n47781: 40 GiB of swap is overkill, not that it hurts anything (it just means that you have 36 GiB of your hard drive essentially waisted). | 23:35 |
| AndChat|15 | crash_cy: are the batteries ok switched on | 23:35 |
| Biafra | okay, going to try this one more time, then I'm going to assume it's Canonical's fault | 23:35 |
| GI_Jack | you should never need more than 8GB of swap, ever and that is excessive | 23:36 |
| n47781 | k, if I really dont need any more than the size of my RAM.. then Ill just assign SWAP 4gb then | 23:36 |
| GI_Jack | I have 16GB of physical memory with /temp mounted on tmpfs and I never run out of memory | 23:36 |
| Jordan_U | GI_Jack: If you have 16 GiB of RAM and want to suspend to disk, you'll want 16 GiB of swap. | 23:36 |
| GI_Jack | also why does rhythmbox like to crash in 13.;04 when I try syncing my media player | 23:37 |
| AndChat|15 | Whatever happened to dynamic swap | 23:38 |
| GI_Jack | and rhythmbox segfaults | 23:39 |
| n47781 | "Device for boot loader installation", should I pick the /home (2TB-disk) or / (500gb-disk), or any is fine? | 23:39 |
| macwolf74 | I'd pick the / | 23:40 |
| n47781 | or even just /dev/sda1 or sdb1 (don't know what that is tho) | 23:40 |
| n47781 | k, thanks | 23:40 |
| macwolf74 | those are your different hard drives | 23:40 |
| macwolf74 | just named like C:/ or E:/ | 23:40 |
| n47781 | oh.. k.. thanks. Ill just use the / then | 23:41 |
| Jordan_U | n47781: Wait. | 23:41 |
| n47781 | uh,I mean the 2TB one.. | 23:41 |
| n47781 | hm | 23:41 |
| danilo | ola | 23:42 |
| n47781 | sry I cant pick partition (/, /home), but rather /dev/sda (my 2tb disk), /dev/sda1 (doesnt say anything next to that), /dev/sdb (500gb disk), and /dev/sdb1 (nothing next to this either).. so... /dev/sdb (500gb disk) sounds fine? | 23:42 |
| Jordan_U | n47781: macwolf74: Grub's boot sector should always be installed to the MBR of a disk, not to a partition boot record. So if you have disks "sda" and "sdb" you want to have grub installed to either (or both) of those devices, *not* to a partition like "sda1" or "sdb1". | 23:43 |
| === Odysimus is now known as Odysimus_away | ||
| danilo | hi, everyone | 23:43 |
| macwolf74 | ? | 23:43 |
| macwolf74 | oh ah | 23:43 |
| n47781 | Jordan_U: k, thanks! Ill pick the /dev/sdb (500gb disk) then, it was my old c:\ for Windows | 23:43 |
| Jordan_U | n47781: Yes, just be aware that if your BIOS is configured to boot from 2 TiB disk then booting will fail untill you change that, or install grub's boot sector to sda. | 23:44 |
| macwolf74 | thanks for telling me lol | 23:44 |
| macwolf74 | I always just did the default option | 23:44 |
| Jordan_U | n47781: You're welcome. | 23:44 |
| micahcowan | Long-standing issue across many versions of Ubuntu (now running Raring): I have some stuff in ~/.Xmodmap, mainly to swap the functionality of Esc and CapsLock. If I plug in a USB keyboard, they revert to their originals, until I run the modmap again (unplugging the keyboard has no apparent effect) | 23:45 |
| micahcowan | Was going to try to see if it was a Hal thing (don't know much about hal), but can't find hal stuff anywhere (has that been replaced by some other system?) | 23:47 |
| micahcowan | Just got "you stupid prick" in PM from AndChat|15 ... | 23:48 |
| macwolf74 | must be doing that to everyone | 23:49 |
| macwolf74 | I'd ignore it | 23:49 |
| cristina | Slart, | 23:49 |
| micahcowan | Will, but given that this is a support channel, I figure I'd bring it up | 23:49 |
| micahcowan | I seem to remember this channel being way, WAY more active (fire hose) in the past. | 23:50 |
| micahcowan | (been a couple years, probably) | 23:51 |
| Vivekananda | shoot I mistakenly shift deleted a file | 23:51 |
| === NePtUnO is now known as NePtUnO|Off | ||
| micahcowan | shift-Delete = rm immediately? not familiar with that | 23:51 |
| cristina | any good configuration for lubuntu? | 23:52 |
| cristina | a link or something?! | 23:52 |
| macwolf74 | michaelni, It passes the trash afaik | 23:52 |
| micahcowan | (assume that was for me) | 23:53 |
| micahcowan | That was my guess | 23:53 |
| micahcowan | cristina, that seems... vague :) what sorts of configuration are you looking for? | 23:53 |
| Vivekananda | anyways to get it back anyone ? | 23:53 |
| Tanshin | I gotta question real quick for anyone who can answer... Does the Linksys WMP54G wireless card have good Ubuntu support? | 23:53 |
| MonkeyDust | !hardware | Tanshin start here | 23:54 |

| cristina | micahcowan, all apps need`ed ...i don`t know..first time when i use linux. | 23:54 |
| micahcowan | Vivekananda, as far as I know, you'd need a filesystem-level unerase tool. Haven't used any on Ubuntu, so can't really help there. | 23:55 |
| macwolf74 | cristina, for apps I'd browse the lubuntu software center and check out some you may like :) | 23:55 |
| === sburjan_ is now known as sburjan` | ||
| cristina | check what... | 23:55 |
| cristina | tell me one app like office | 23:55 |
| cristina | ? | 23:55 |
| micahcowan | LibreOffice | 23:56 |
| cristina | i can`t find there? | 23:56 |
| Vivekananda | hmmm | 23:56 |
| Vivekananda | I am trying to get something | 23:56 |
| cristina | and it`s good for lubuntu? | 23:56 |
| micahcowan | Look for LibreOffice, definitely. Abiword is possible, too, but I like LibreOffice much better. Abiword is somewhat less resource-intensive as far as I know. | 23:56 |
| micahcowan | Yes, both are available on Ubuntu variants. | 23:57 |
| cristina | ok ..install now | 23:58 |
| cristina | tell me how to use synaptic packege manager? | 23:58 |
| cristina | i don`t understand it very well | 23:58 |
| Vivekananda | anyone else | 23:58 |
| longcat_ | click click click | 23:58 |
| micahcowan | If you like graphic apps and desktop publishing, you might also look at scribus, gimp (somewhat advanced, rather like photoshop), tuxpaint (much less advanced, but lots of fun), and... something, can't remember what, looking for it... | 23:59 |
| semitones | so what's that folder | 23:59 |
| Vivekananda | cristina: when you have ubuntu on your desktop you have two ways of automatic installation | 23:59 |
| micahcowan | cristina, you mark which ones you want to install, and then choose "apply changes" or something along those lines | 23:59 |
| semitones | that becomes a part of your $PATH by default if you put executables in it? | 23:59 |
| micahcowan | use the search bar or browse the sections to find interesting apps | 23:59 |
| Vivekananda | apart from it you of course have ways of manual installation. For automatic install look for either synaptic package manager | 23:59 |
