| scumbum | heneusl_pay: open with vlc instead of downloading when given option | 00:00 |
|---|---|---|
| heneusl_pay | scumbum: It is a plugin there is no vlc to open. | 00:00 |
| heneusl_pay | scumbum: Do you know what a plugin is? | 00:01 |
| scumbum | Wish vlc supported flash better in the web | 00:01 |
| scumbum | Yes. | 00:01 |
| JesseH | I am using ubuntu 12.04 xfce can anyone explain to me why my mouse randomly clicks things? Is it a mouse problem or what? | 00:02 |
| Jordan_U | JesseH: That most likely is a hardware problem. Have you tried a different mouse? | 00:02 |
| heneusl_pay | How shall I direct the stream to the already installed VLC plugin? | 00:02 |
| scumbum | heneusl_pay: you want to stream it in the web page. | 00:02 |
| JesseH | I haven't | 00:02 |
| Crazyj | Having a wierd problem. Ubuntu 13.04 - saying im connecting on status bar to wifi.cant go to anywebsites except bookmarked ones and google. Cant add repositories either. Any advice? | 00:02 |
| JesseH | Is ubuntu really dropping desktop support oneday? | 00:03 |
| heneusl_pay | scumbum: No I do not have access to modify the pages code, but I do want to play the stream inside the browser using the already installed VLC plugin. | 00:03 |
| scumbum | heneusl_pay: copy link then open vlc select stream | 00:04 |
| Jordan_U | JesseH: There is no indication that Canonical will ever stop supporting Ubuntu on the desktop, and many indications that they will continue. Further speculation on future events should be discussed in #ubuntu-offtopic. | 00:04 |
| ningu | I'm having an issue with trying to upgrade my server to 13.04. I have postgresql 9.2 installed from a ppa, and do-release-ugprade says it fails because postgresql-server-9.2-dev has no source but is tagged for removal. I'm not sure why that's a fatal error but in any case I want those packages not to be touched in the upgrade process. what should I do? | 00:04 |
| heneusl_pay | scumbum: It is a firefox plugin the VLC gui is not installed on the live CD. | 00:04 |
| JesseH | lol | 00:04 |
| JesseH | Thanks Jordan_U ^^ | 00:05 |
| JesseH | I thought this was ubuntu related | 00:05 |
| ningu | should I tag the postgresql packages as manually managed for now? | 00:05 |
| Crazyj | Also i know the wifi is working becuase i can go anywhere on my ipad (which is what im currently using) | 00:05 |
| heneusl_pay | How shall I direct the stream to the already installed VLC plugin inside the firefox browser? | 00:05 |
| Jordan_U | JesseH: You're welcome. It is Ubuntu related, but not really an Ubuntu support question. | 00:05 |
| scumbum | heneusl_pay: its possible but clunky. I did it before. First try installing UBUNTU CODEC PACK from software center | 00:05 |
| JesseH | Ah, so wouldn't #ubuntu-support be better? | 00:05 |
| heneusl_pay | scumbum: no thanks | 00:06 |
| Jordan_U | JesseH: Discussion of the name of this channel is also offtopic for #ubuntu... | 00:06 |
| JesseH | xD | 00:06 |
| scumbum | heneusl_pay: is the vlc plugin activated in firefox | 00:06 |
| JesseH | Thanks Jordan_U bye bye | 00:06 |
| heneusl_pay | scumbum: yes, perhaps I can look at firefoxs default actions | 00:07 |
| ningu | also, any idea how to scroll up in the screen session opened by do-release-upgrade? | 00:08 |
| ningu | ctrl-a doesn't work like usual. | 00:08 |
| bob___ | Jordan_U: http://paste.ubuntu.com/5610520/ | 00:09 |
| ningu | no suggestions? I don't want to uninstall postgresql during the upgrade. | 00:11 |
| heneusl_pay | scumbum: I will ask in #firefox because there is no default action for m3u but there is for mp3. | 00:11 |
| === chalced is now known as chalcedony | ||
| ningu | so right now it basically looks like I can't upgrade. | 00:11 |
| scumbum | heneusl_pay: can you create one | 00:11 |
| anonkvv | HELLO everyone how are you | 00:12 |
| heneusl_pay | scumbum: I d not see a way to initiate a creation, so I am asking in #firefox. | 00:12 |
| scumbum | Okay | 00:13 |
| Jordan_U | ningu: Why are you using postresql from a ppa? I would recommend removing all packages installed from any ppa before upgrading, though it sounds like you don't want to do that for some reason. | 00:14 |
| scumbum | heneusl_pay: i got it to work once for flash. But fancy sites youtube would not work | 00:14 |

| anonkvv | ACAN ANYONE HELP WITH TELNET | 00:15 |
| savio | anonkvv be more specific | 00:16 |
| Jordan_U | anonkvv: Please don't use all caps. | 00:16 |
| anonkvv | i am trying to learn to use telnet and i am ircing with it | 00:17 |
| ningu | Jordan_U: because 9.2 is not available in ubuntu yet. | 00:17 |
| Jordan_U | ningu: Does the ppa you're using have packages for ubuntu 13.04? | 00:17 |
| anonkvv | just trying to learn to use telnet so i came to irc and anyone knows anything that they think would help with it please let me know | 00:18 |
| ningu | not officially. it officially only goes up to 12.04, at least, there is no dists/quantal, but the web site says 12.10 is supported. | 00:18 |
| Jordan_U | anonkvv: This channel is for Ubuntu support, asking about how to use IRC via telnet is not really on topic. | 00:18 |
| elfer | :o | 00:19 |
| Jordan_U | anonkvv: Try #ubuntu-offtopic, or #defocus. | 00:19 |
| heneusl_pay | scumbum: Flash is not installed, the directions for adding a default action are here but I am not sure how this will work since the plugin is not a stand alone app but contained inside firefox look here https://support.mozilla.org/en-US/kb/change-firefox-behavior-when-open-file | 00:19 |
| ranjeet | Hey guys, I am still on 12.10, can I upgrade to the latest version 13.04? Is there any known problems, I should not go for upgrde? | 00:19 |
| Senor | Jordan_U : I have download a grub-rescue.iso ,and modified it ,how can I save it? | 00:20 |
| anonkvv | just tyrying to learn somthing new i have learned linucvx just not tell net | 00:20 |
| scumbum | heneusl_pay: vlc can play flash files standalone. | 00:20 |
| ningu | Jordan_U: anyway I guess if I want to be sure it will continue working I should wait until it's clear that there are packages for 13.04 | 00:20 |
| Jordan_U | ningu: Then you'll want to wait until the ppa is updated, at which point I would still recommend removing the ppa's packages before upgrading (not just removing hte ppa), then re-enabme the ppa and install the packages again after upgrading. | 00:20 |
| LiquidDemocracy | I need some help. After the upgrade to 13.04 I can not log into Ubuntu anymore. After entering the password for 2 seconds is seems to load the desktop but then it jumps right back to the login window. | 00:20 |
| Jordan_U | anonkvv: This is the wrong channel. Please go elsewhere to experiment with IRC via telnet. | 00:20 |
| ningu | yeah, the postgresql web site describing the ppa is extremely unclear about this | 00:21 |
| ningu | I'll ask in the channel | 00:21 |
| Jordan_U | LiquidDemocracy: Have you tried the rescue session (I may be misremembering the name)? It's an option at the login screen. | 00:22 |
| ranjeet | readding my question again, any help appreciated | 00:23 |
| ranjeet | Hey guys, I am still on 12.10, can I upgrade to the latest version 13.04? Is there any known problems, I should not go for upgrde? | 00:23 |
| LiquidDemocracy | Jordan_U, there is only a guest access | 00:25 |
| ranjeet | Hey guys, I am still on 12.10, can I upgrade to the latest version 13.04? Is there any known problems, I should not go for upgrde? | 00:25 |
| Jordan_U | ranjeet: Yes you can upgrade. See the release notes for common known issues. | 00:26 |
| Noskcaj | ranjeet, you can upgrade through the update manager | 00:26 |
| Jordan_U | !upgrade | ranjeet | 00:26 |
| ubottu | ranjeet: For upgrading, see the instructions at https://help.ubuntu.com/community/UpgradeNotes - see also http://www.ubuntu.com/desktop/get-ubuntu/upgrade | 00:26 |
| Stuz719 | ranjeet: i've just updated lubuntu on one machine to 13.04, no problems so far but your mileage may vary. If you don't need to update why do you want to? My main production machines are on 12.04LTS where I'm using kubuntu | 00:27 |
| savio | ranjeet ubuntu 13.04 is good in every term did u see any review of it a good unity kernal 3.8 | 00:27 |
| ZettaZete_ | I tried to upgrade to the latest version of Ubuntu, through console mode. Now I'm looking at a bunch of graphical noise. What can I do about this? | 00:28 |
| ranjeet | thank you all for answering the query, I am just a new user who switched from windows 8 to Ubuntu for performance. Installed 12.10 and found 13.04 is out | 00:29 |
| Jordan_U | ZettaZete_: You used do-release-upgrade? | 00:29 |
| ranjeet | If 13.04 is doing good then I will go for the update | 00:29 |
| ZettaZete_ | Jordan_U Yup. | 00:29 |
| Jordan_U | ZettaZete_: Did it finish without error? Did you get this corruption after rebooting? | 00:30 |
| ZettaZete_ | I think the upgrade is still going. I'm not sure. | 00:30 |
| ranjeet | Again, thx a bunch for everyone who answered my query :-) | 00:30 |
| Jordan_U | ZettaZete_: When did you start seeing screen corruption? Can you take a picture of it with a camera and upload it? | 00:31 |
| Senor | how to make one iso file bootable? | 00:32 |
| scumbum | heneusl_pay: in address bar type about:plugins | 00:32 |
| ZettaZete_ | Jordan_U, it was shortly after it finished downloading all the packages. Yea, give me a moment. | 00:33 |
| Poisoned_Dragon | are you making the iso yourself, or downloading it? | 00:33 |
| Jordan_U | Senor: What do you mean by "bootable"? You can take any Ubuntu iso and burn it to a DVD to make a bootable DVD, or dd it to a hard drive to make a bootable hard drive. | 00:34 |
| heneusl_pay | scumbum: ok finished, this gives some information but does not allow for adding a filetype, what to do next? | 00:34 |
| tuxGentoo | virtual serial port? | 00:34 |
| Senor | Jordan_U:I want to use it as a vitual cd-rom to boot kernel | 00:35 |
| ZettaZete_ | Jordan_U: http://s7.postimg.org/u15zz9tbf/IMG_20130427_174252.jpg | 00:35 |
| scumbum | heneusl_pay: hoping it would allow you to set somethings | 00:35 |
| heneusl_pay | scumbum: thank you for the information | 00:36 |
| Jordan_U | Senor: If you are still talking about that grub-rescue.iso, nobody is going to be able to help you with an image that you have but can't tell us where it's from, or even upload it for us to look at. Stop asking about it until you can do one of those things. Alternately, you can use Super GRUB2 Disk 2.00b1 like I recommended earlier, which I can help you with (in #sgrub). | 00:37 |
| Jordan_U | ZettaZete_: Can you ssh into the machine? | 00:37 |
| Senor | Jordan_U:I dowloaded it from sourceforge : http://sourceforge.net/projects/supergrub.berlios/files/ | 00:39 |
| ZettaZete_ | Jordan_U, Unless it was installed with the live CD. Its a pretty minimal install. | 00:41 |
| susana | hello | 00:42 |
| Jordan_U | Senor: Great. Please download super_grub2_disk_hybrid_2.00s1-beta1.iso from that same page and join #sgrub for more help (as this is offtopic for #ubuntu). | 00:42 |
| Jordan_U | ZettaZete_: Unfortunately no, sshd is not installed by default. | 00:43 |
| Jordan_U | ZettaZete_: Does anything change if you press ctrl+alt+F1? | 00:43 |
| ZettaZete_ | I have cycled through all the consoles. All of them are the same. | 00:43 |
| Jordan_U | ZettaZete_: If it's not to inconvenient you could let it run for a day to be pretty sure that the upgrade has completed (hopefully without any prompts asking for user input) then reboot via sysrq magic. | 00:45 |
| heneusl_pay | scumIs there a way to install the fluendo codec (that the install promps to enable) during a live session? | 00:45 |
| Jordan_U | !sysrq | ZettaZete_ | 00:45 |
| ubottu | ZettaZete_: In an emergency, you may be able to shutdown cleanly and reboot by holding down Alt+PrintScreen and typing, in succession, R, E, I, S, U and B. For an explanation, see http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Magic_SysRq_key | 00:45 |
| heneusl_pay | Is there a way to install the fluendo codec (that the install promps to enable) during a live session? | 00:45 |
| Jordan_U | ZettaZete_: Obviously that's not ideal though. Were you using GPU drivers with KMS support? (If you were using proprietary drivers then the answer is no, if not then the answer is probably yes). | 00:46 |
| susana_ | hello guys | 00:47 |
| totality | hey can anyoen help me wiht an issue im having with firefox in 13.04 | 00:48 |
| ZettaZete_ | Jordan_U I have guessed a few times and have proceeded past a few prompts. It looks like its still going. I uninstalled the unsupported drivers a week ago and reinitialized the xorg configs. | 00:48 |
| totality | on a coupel fo websites certain private messagign systems all my messages seme to be appearing as random sybols and gibberis i ashumed language packs at first but there all installed | 00:48 |
| betrayd | even your chat's messed up | 00:49 |
| Jordan_U | ZettaZete_: Was X running when you started the upgrade or were you in a non-X tty? | 00:49 |
| Jordan_U | bob___: If you ssh in from the client can you see the directory? | 00:50 |
| ZettaZete_ | Jordan_U, I was using non X tty. However, looks like I guessed another prompt and it restarted. Everything looks OK so far. | 00:50 |
| Jordan_U | ZettaZete_: That's lucky I guess :) | 00:50 |
| ZettaZete_ | Jordan_U, yea everything seems to be running fine. Thanks for the help anyway! | 00:52 |

| ZettaZete_ | I know this is a Google search away. However, getting a good recommendation might be better. What would you worry about most when trying to give up windows and migrate to Linux. Tips would be great, if you can lead me to an article would also be great. | 00:54 |
| thiebaude | ZettaZete_, i would do a search on youtube for migrate from windows to ubuntu | 00:56 |
| thiebaude | thats the best suggestion i have | 00:56 |
| md_5 | friends doesnt seem to give me notification alerts. anyone got a working twitter client to give me alerts at tweets, thats all I need | 00:57 |
| ZettaZete_ | Alright, simple answer is probably the effective one. | 00:57 |
| thiebaude | !ati | 00:58 |
| ubottu | For Ati/NVidia/Matrox video cards, see https://help.ubuntu.com/community/VideoDriverHowto | 00:58 |
| Poisoned_Dragon | oh gosh, why is Matrox even mentioned in the same line as nvidia or ati? | 00:59 |
| Poisoned_Dragon | why not mention Volari, while you're at it | 01:00 |

| M1L0 | sorry, my english is bad :S | 01:20 |
| KBentley57 | bro_ken, try to reseat the ram first. If that doesn't work, do them one at a time. If that doesn't work, add ~0.05 V to the RAM voltage, and 0.05V to the cpu/nb voltage. If that doesn't work, RMA | 01:20 |

| KBentley57 | maybe you can try setting the opacity to "0" in the system settings till we figure out a good solution | 01:21 |
| scott_puopolo | bro_ken, if your computer has more than one ram stick, try booting with just one and then just the other to isolate a bad ram stick | 01:22 |
| trism | cato_: looks fine, did you check the output of your local pkg-config? also you add -L for gtk in /usr/lib/ but you query a pkg-config in /usr/local/bin/ which is kind of odd | 01:22 |
| bro_ken | Thanks Scott & kb | 01:22 |
| KBentley57 | Neytiri, can you tell us a little more about it? At least what it is and why you think it has a virus | 01:22 |

| Gerowen | What's the easiest way to "Upgrade" in place from 12.10 to 13.04? I seem to remember in older releases you would get prompted with "There's a newer version of Ubuntu available!" and it would upgrade your system in place without having to boot from the CD. Is that option still available? The "Notify me of new versions of Ubuntu" box is checked in software sources | 01:25 |
| KBentley57 | Gerowen, a simple command will do it. "sudo do-release-upgrade" | 01:25 |
| michael__ | I like Ubuntu more I have problens | 01:25 |
| michael__ | rss | 01:25 |
| wilee-nilee | Gerowen, That shows if you have software sources set to all releases | 01:25 |
| pedroamaral | oi | 01:25 |
| bro_ken | successfully booted after removing one ram stick! Thanks again | 01:25 |
| KBentley57 | bro_ken, woot, nice catch! | 01:26 |
| scott_puopolo | bro_ken, ok now try booting with the other stick | 01:26 |

| Gerowen | KBentley57: Thanks, seems to be working, :-) | 01:26 |

| KBentley57 | Gerowen, Welcome | 01:26 |
| pedroamaral | \ping | 01:27 |
| KBentley57 | Neytiri, have you tried downloading firefox from the mozilla website, and running that to see if it displays the same odd behaviour? | 01:27 |
| Neytiri | no i havnt | 01:27 |
| KBentley57 | Neytiri, give that a try, and report back if it acts differently, or even the same | 01:27 |
| Neytiri | kk | 01:28 |
| KBentley57 | when you download it, it will be contained in one folder. Just start the firefox from within that folder | 01:28 |
| cato_ | trism: pkg-config reports that there's no gtk+-2.0 found. (that -L for gtk in /usr/lib was out of desperation :)) | 01:29 |

| scott_puopolo | bro_ken, oh well it's working for now and you will recognize the problem if it occurs again | 01:34 |
| anonkvv | hello room | 01:35 |
| KBentley57 | bro_ken, just because it's booting, doesn't mean it still isn't broken :). Run memtest again for a while just to make sure | 01:36 |
| michael__ | I make Sure hahaahh | 01:36 |
| Xgates | hi guys | 01:36 |
| anonkvv | i ss the commands for linux the same as unix | 01:36 |
| scott_puopolo | KBentley57, good call | 01:36 |
| KBentley57 | scott_puopolo, i just had a hell of a time figuring out which stick was causing 1/4 of my ram not to show, even though the system booted and worked | 01:37 |
| Xgates | after bringing down the networkmanager; 'sudo stop network-manager' I'm trying to bring up the eth0 interface as; 'sudo ifconfig eth0 192.168.1.2 up' but it's not doing anything. Anyone know how to manually bring it up, I thought that was it? | 01:37 |
| anonkvv | if someone was to connect to irc via telnet would they be able to exit out of a chat channel but not lose there connection to irc | 01:37 |
| scott_puopolo | KBentley57, how'd you figure it out? process of elimination? | 01:38 |
| KBentley57 | Xgates, have you tried setting the configuration up in the /etc/network/interfaces file? | 01:38 |
| michael__ | brasil ??? | 01:38 |
| Xgates | no I just thought I could do this from the cli is all | 01:38 |
| mzhang | Quick question - why would 50g virtual hard drive file (under "ls") only takes 12g if I use "du" on the folder? file system is jfs. I thought jfs does not support compression... Thanks. | 01:38 |
| vitimiti | bye | 01:38 |
| michael__ | bye man | 01:39 |
| michael__ | hahaahhhh! | 01:39 |
| KBentley57 | scott_puopolo, I had to start the factorial process of ram swapping :). I finally hit the one that wouldn't let the system boot period. It still weirds me out that it was able to boot with a bad stick. I suppose the others propped it up? | 01:39 |
| KBentley57 | Xgates, try the "man ifconfig". It may have a few tips. Also, look up ethtool | 01:39 |
| === heneusl_pay is now known as heneusl_pay_web | ||
| KBentley57 | Xgates, in fact, I'm pretty sure ethtool can do what you wish | 01:40 |
| varun | Xgates, as far as I know, you don't need the 'up' option if you are assigning IP with ifconfig. It has to be brought up is implied in it. | 01:40 |
| anonkvv | if someone is using a live usb will that save information on there computers hard drive? | 01:40 |
| KBentley57 | anonkvv, focus your question down. That could mean many different things | 01:41 |
| Xgates | So running sudo ifconfig eth0 192.168.1.2 should bring it up? | 01:41 |
| * wilee-nilee red flag goes to half mast, lol | 01:41 | |
| varun | Xgates, yes | 01:41 |
| Xgates | ok thanks let me give it a go brb if that don't work and thanks too KBentley57 | 01:41 |
| varun | mzhang, what program created the virtual hard disk? | 01:42 |
| anonkvv | if i save files to mmy or with my live usb would it save to my harddrive or just the usb | 01:42 |
| babueter | hey all, having a strange cdrom issue with my install. Installing 12.04 (from 8.04) and the cdrom wont mount during installer. but this thing has always worked with ubuntu so i'm scratching my head here. let me know if you have an idea. | 01:42 |
| mzhang | virtualbox | 01:42 |
| NoodleFox | yo whats the best learn-linux-on-the-command-line resource? Also in GUI... I am too cheap to do linux+ | 01:42 |
| mzhang | varun: virtualbox | 01:42 |
| wilee-nilee | anonkvv, You trying to hack someone or checked if you have been? | 01:42 |
| KBentley57 | anonkvv, if you are running from a live usb, most things saved are temporary only, and will not survive a reboot. Unless, you have persistance on your usb | 01:43 |
| varun | mzhang, I think the default choice of VBox is to keep the disk size dynamic. Meaning it will grow as you fill it up, and the defined size will be the max. limit. So it seems natural to me | 01:43 |
| KBentley57 | NoodleFox, check this out: http://linuxcommand.org/ | 01:43 |
| mzhang | varun: I made it fixed size at 50gb. | 01:44 |
| anonkvv | so if you are running the live usb in presistance it could save files such to you hard drive but just in live mode it will nowt save it to the hard drive | 01:44 |
| NoodleFox | KBentley57: Excellent thank you :D | 01:44 |
| KBentley57 | well, you could save files TO the hard drive in either case. If you want to save files to the flash drive itself, you will lose it on reboot, unless you have a separate space on the flash drive to store files. | 01:45 |
| KBentley57 | NoodleFox, Welcome :) | 01:45 |
| varun | mzhang, then I'm clueless.. :( | 01:45 |
| pierdolle | after update i cant provide sound to my tv (hdmi) but streaming video on it goes well. Is this invidual problem or is it many that have experiencd the same problem? | 01:46 |
| KBentley57 | pierdolle, were you using the propriatary drivers before, and are you now? | 01:47 |
| anonkvv | so live mode saves nothing to hard drive and presistance does save to the hard drive right?prive msg #ubuntu :me? | 01:47 |
| anonkvv | me? | 01:47 |
| mzhang | varun: Found out. fyi: the file was saved as a sparse file. cp --sparse=never solved this. | 01:48 |
| KBentley57 | anonkvv, you are half right. live mode saves nothing to hard drive, unless you manually do it. the "persistence" is a partition on the flash drive itself that can hold information between reboots, but that information is not stored on the hard drive of the computer | 01:48 |
| pierdolle | never used someting special just custom (have drive ubuntu for 14days) | 01:49 |
| netlar | its been awhile since i used Ubuntu. How can you tell if there a software update now, do not see the indication in the system menu? | 01:50 |
| pierdolle | its pooped up for me, I couldnt miss it | 01:51 |
| NoodleFox | is there a way to install gnome from out of the box instead of unity? | 01:51 |
| wilee-nilee | netlar, update manager or sudo apt-get update in a terminal | 01:51 |

| NoodleFox | ahh ok I might try that then :D | 01:52 |
| wilee-nilee | netlar, Security updates will popup the update manager | 01:52 |
| KBentley57 | is there not a "sudo apt-get install gnome-desktop"? | 01:52 |
| wilee-nilee | gnome-shell or ubuntu-desltop | 01:52 |
| wilee-nilee | desktop* | 01:52 |

| netlar | Is there a update manager in 13.04? | 01:53 |
| KBentley57 | NoodleFox, you could always come back to visit me in XFCE land :) | 01:53 |
| wilee-nilee | gnome sits under unity which is called the ubuntu-desktop gnome 3 is the shell and fallback | 01:53 |
| KBentley57 | netlar, yes | 01:53 |

| atrus | NoodleFox: there is a "gnome version" of ubuntu now, and you can transition to it from standard ubuntu pretty easily (in my experience) | 01:54 |
| netlar | Only thing I found was Software Updater | 01:54 |
| LargePrime | The following command is duplicating the final source dir under the destination dir. can you say why? | 01:54 |
| KBentley57 | NoodleFox, I just switched from uity to xfce with docky, and i love it. I did like unity, but I switched for other reasons | 01:54 |
| wilee-nilee | netlar, What desktop are you running? | 01:54 |

| LargePrime | it is a server to server coppy | 01:55 |
| netlar | I did, only application that came up is Software Updater | 01:55 |
| sonofzeus | Anyone? | 01:56 |
| KBentley57 | ask your question sonofzeus | 01:56 |

| KBentley57 | LargePrime, the syntax looks fine, I'm sure you've typed it in correctly | 01:58 |
| KBentley57 | harold_, are you installing it from the repos, or from the wine website? | 01:59 |
| LargePrime | ok so perhaps a little bug? | 01:59 |
| harold_ | I added the wine repository | 01:59 |
| KBentley57 | LargePrime, have you checked the desination to make sure that user has write priv. ? | 01:59 |
| sonofzeus | Hello? | 02:00 |
| KBentley57 | harold_, did you do the "sudo apt-get update" part before trying to install it? | 02:00 |
| LargePrime | it ends up in /home/user/stuff/stuff/ | 02:00 |
| harold_ | yes | 02:00 |
| KBentley57 | harold_, when it was updating, did you see it pull in the wine repo ppa stuff? | 02:00 |
| Meris | How can I restore my Desktop folder after having deleted it (caused by a bug in PCManFM)? | 02:01 |
| harold_ | umm not sure | 02:01 |
| KBentley57 | LargePrime, can you try it again and post the exact output? without the sensitive stuff of course. I'll help with the googling; I can't think of something that would cause that error. | 02:01 |
| LargePrime | KBentley57: I thought perhaps it was a final / or not need final / issue. or perhaps i needed a wildcard | 02:02 |
| KBentley57 | harold_, run "sudo apt-get update" again and post the output | 02:02 |
| KBentley57 | LargePrime, maybe try a small test text file without the final ./? | 02:02 |

| panshul | KBentley57, i am running a Nvidia 660 SLI | 02:07 |
| KBentley57 | harold_, that's odd. You would think that it would update the source, but look through the list you pastbinned. There isn't anything there, or did I miss it? | 02:07 |
| panshul | KBentley57, how did u solve it? | 02:07 |
| Meris | bonhoeffer, could you elaborate on that? Do you want all extensions without the filenames(printed as many times as they exist in that directory) or do you want a list of all occurring extensions? | 02:07 |
| geektech713 | hmm Nvidia has histroy of issues with Linux | 02:07 |
| KBentley57 | panshul, Can you boot into the older kernel from 12.10? Luckily I was able to boot into that one. I haven't fixed it yet, none of the 3.8 or 3.7 kernels would work for me | 02:08 |

| Hermes1111 | does anyone know of an alternative method to disable that hotkey? | 02:11 |

| harold_ | also tried just searching it in the software center and installing from there | 02:12 |
| geektech713 | u can install wine from Ubuntu software center | 02:12 |
| KBentley57 | harold_, can you try sudo apt-get install wine, and see which one it displays? | 02:12 |

| subcool | im being lazy | 02:13 |
| harold_ | maybe 1.5 will work | 02:13 |
| KBentley57 | harold_, I don't think you would have needed to add the repo to get that. would a sudo apt-get install wine not work? I believe 1.4 would have been in the 12.04 repos | 02:14 |
| harold_ | looking at the info that pops up it seems like the 1.4 package depends on older versions of dependancies but only newer ones are available | 02:14 |

| Hermes1111 | the first time it splits the screen in half horizontally, the second time it resizes that half into another half vertically, then another half the third time | 02:28 |
| KBentley57 | ah, i remember. It's been a while since I used 11.10 | 02:28 |
| Meris | Is there any way to restore my Desktop folder with full functionality after having inadvertently deleted it? I'm using XFCE on Ubuntu 12.04 | 02:28 |
| KBentley57 | Meris, You could always move your stuff to a temporary location, and recreate you user's home dir | 02:30 |
| KBentley57 | Hermes1111, is compiz running? | 02:30 |
| Hermes1111 | I dont even know what compiz is heh | 02:30 |
| Meris | KBentley57, hmm, my home partition contains a lot more than just a Desktop folder. I'd like to focus on that directory alone. | 02:30 |
| Hermes1111 | should I install and run it? | 02:31 |
| Meris | !compiz | Hermes1111 | 02:32 |
| ubottu | Hermes1111: Compiz (compositing window manager), for a howto see http://help.ubuntu.com/community/CompositeManager and more help #compiz | 02:32 |
| harold_ | ok.....so I need an SVN version of Winetricks now | 02:32 |
| Hermes1111 | ty meris | 02:32 |
| KBentley57 | Hermes1111, no, compiz is a windows manager thing that gives effects | 02:32 |
| KBentley57 | Hermes1111, meaning, you may have been looking in the wrong place to disable it | 02:32 |
| Hermes1111 | I see | 02:33 |
| KBentley57 | Meris, let me think for a few minutes on that, k? | 02:33 |
| KBentley57 | Hermes, can you pastebin the output of lsmod? | 02:33 |
| Hermes1111 | sure 1 sec | 02:33 |
| Meris | KBentley57, sure, I've been thinking on it for a while now, I'd be grateful. | 02:33 |
| harold_ | KBentley57, how do I check the version of winetricks I have installed? | 02:33 |
| Meris | harold, just less it, it's at the top of the file | 02:34 |
| harold_ | Meris, what file? | 02:34 |
| KBentley57 | harold_, winetricks --version should do it | 02:34 |
| Hermes1111 | KBentley57 , here http://pastebin.com/003Cj1uP | 02:34 |
| Meris | harold_, the winetricks script is just a textile like any other | 02:35 |
| harold_ | so how would I get an SVN version of winetricks? If the ppa wasn't working | 02:35 |
| KBentley57 | harold_, you must have subversion installed, its a "version control system" | 02:36 |
| KBentley57 | Hermes1111, let me look some more | 02:36 |
| Meris | harold_, did you even check the link I gave you? That points to a page that contains the link to the *latest* winetricks (=svn version) | 02:36 |
| Hermes1111 | alright, thx again KBentley57 | 02:36 |
| harold_ | Meris, I don't see any link | 02:37 |
| Meris | harold_, sorry about that, I meant the link on winehq, just a sec | 02:37 |
| Meris | harold_, her you are: http://winetricks.org/winetricks | 02:38 |
| harold_ | is there a package to install? or do I have to make it from source? | 02:38 |
| Meris | harold_, it's just a simple scriptfile, no package involved. | 02:39 |
| harold_ | so the link is the script file? | 02:40 |
| harold_ | ok | 02:40 |
| Meris | harold_, that is, the version I have pointed you to. Yes, it's just a single scriptfile. | 02:40 |
| harold_ | so where do I save it? lol | 02:40 |
| harold_ | sorry for the stupid questions its' been a while | 02:41 |
| Meris | harold_, anywhere you want, but I suggest you store it in your default .wine prefix directory. Just remember to make it executable with chmod 700 winetricks | 02:41 |
| harold_ | is that where the one I would of installed from apt-get be? | 02:42 |
| harold_ | nvm | 02:43 |
| harold_ | i got it to work from apt get it's now that version | 02:43 |
| harold_ | there we go now it's working :) | 02:43 |
| geektech713 | ubuntu is easy as pie now | 02:44 |
| Meris | harold_, probably, not sure, anyway, it runs from anywhere. Just remember to set the proper wine prefix if you use multiple wine prefixes | 02:44 |
| geektech713 | compared from 10 -15 years ago before Ubuntu | 02:44 |
| harold_ | geektech713, I don't agree....they keep stripping stuff away | 02:44 |
| harold_ | and trying to dumb it down | 02:44 |
| harold_ | I don't like it | 02:44 |
| geektech713 | well there is always CENTOS | 02:44 |
| harold_ | hmm......ok so I'm supposed to do winetricks ie6 but says it doesn't work on 64bit os | 02:45 |
| Meris | harold_, then don't use it, you are free to use any other distro. It's all your choice. | 02:45 |
| harold_ | I've always used Ubuntu | 02:45 |
| MartynKeigher | hey i have set the folowing permissions around the /var/www folder: chown -R webmaster:webadmins /var/www . so far so good, but when i add files into the www folder, how can i have it set so that webmaster:webadmins privsa are set AUTOMATICALLY for all thigns aded in AFTER the chown command?? | 02:45 |
| harold_ | they just make things harder to do | 02:45 |
| MartynKeigher | is this possible? | 02:45 |
| geektech713 | plenty of choices with distros out there if you arent happy with ubunut | 02:45 |

| === LargePrime is now known as Guest78285 | ||
| geektech713 | what u talking about back the day old school days before ubuntu ..it was tons harder | 02:46 |
| harold_ | my only complaint is that you can go between 2 different versions such has 11 to 12, and a lot of things you did even in the CLI in 11 will be completely different in 12 | 02:46 |
| Meris | harold_, one of the things thak took me quite a long time to get used to was the move from SystemV to upstart. | 02:47 |
| geektech713 | I was on Red Hat 5 before fedora came out | 02:47 |
| harold_ | well previous to this I used Gentoo....lol | 02:47 |
| harold_ | yes it was harder | 02:47 |
| harold_ | mainly the install | 02:47 |
| geektech713 | ya gentoo is harder | 02:48 |
| geektech713 | i had learn linux sudo commands to just install programs | 02:48 |
| geektech713 | and had DOS down too | 02:48 |
| Meris | geektech713, Re Hat 5 eh? Well, I still use CentOS on my server. Sometimes when you need a commercial module, the Red Hat family has still the best support. | 02:48 |
| geektech713 | I am talking about 12 years ago | 02:49 |
| geektech713 | i am kinda of aged now | 02:49 |
| Meris | geektech713, DOS, yes, used that from 1985 to 1997 (the year I switched to linux) | 02:49 |

| LargePrime | KBentley57: the -R switch copied the DIR, so it appends on end | 02:54 |
| Meris | harold_, if you don't want to be surprised too much between versions, stick with the LTS release for now. | 02:54 |
| KBentley57 | LargePrime, ah, i see. I should have spotted that | 02:54 |
| KBentley57 | Hermes1111, I took a small break, but I'm still looking. | 02:55 |
| geektech713 | i was happy with 10 before unity came | 02:55 |
| Hermes1111 | ok, cheers | 02:55 |
| geektech713 | unity reminds me of Windows | 02:55 |
| frotz47 | me too! after hating both of the 11's releases and both of the 12's releases, I find myself with nothing bad to say about 13.04. | 02:55 |
| KBentley57 | again, ot | 02:55 |
| Meris | geektech713, unity is just a shell, you can choose any desktop environment you like. | 02:55 |
| newworld | hi i have problem to login in live usb 13.04 i find in the web i dont see any solve | 02:55 |
| geektech713 | ya i have 13 on my VMware | 02:56 |
| geektech713 | i have to digg up my archieve for 10 again | 02:56 |
| harold_ | Meris, that's what I'm running LTS, I was running 10.04 LTS previously and theres still a lot of differences lol | 02:56 |
| KBentley57 | newworld, I'm afraid that english didn't come across like you hoped. Can you ask again in a different way? | 02:56 |
| savio | geektech713 why ?unity is good | 02:57 |
| geektech713 | i am being gnome for so long | 02:57 |
| geektech713 | not fan of unity sorry | 02:57 |
| newworld | i install ubuntu 13.04 with Unetbootin in a usb and when i boot i can not login | 02:57 |
| KBentley57 | newworld, I see. Thanks. Will it make it to the login screen, and then not let you log in, or does the boot process fail earlier than that? | 02:58 |
| Meris | harold_, true, but between LTS releases there are proper changelogs that you can choose to browse through or not, if you don't you might get a few surprises, yes. | 02:58 |
| newworld | i try with ubuntu and no password and not work | 02:58 |

| Meris | Hermes1111, what problem precisely? | 03:01 |
| wilee-nilee | newworld, Should not be check the ISO first, people use unetbootin all the time. | 03:01 |

| Hermes1111 | I need to disable ctrl + alt hotkey | 03:02 |
| cer3alk1ll3r | I would check the ISO or try to create the USB again. I have used unetbootin, so that shouldn't be the problem. | 03:02 |
| Hermes1111 | which resizes the window on top | 03:02 |
| Meris | Hermes1111, at what stage do you need to disable it? | 03:02 |

| geektech713 | but the USB ISO install isn't the real deal if doesn't support new 13.04 | 03:09 |
| Meris | MartynKeigher, in that case you'll need to the vhost settings so that it includes an alias for the same webspace as the main URL. | 03:09 |
| cocomo | please help someone ? i have been searching for a solution for days. | 03:10 |
| Meris | MartynKeigher, (...) you'll need to >adjust< the vhost settings (...) <= Sorry for that omission | 03:10 |
| geektech713 | don't use Yahoo or bing for linux stuff | 03:10 |
| geektech713 | Google every damn thing | 03:11 |

| Jordan_U | berto-: If I recall correctly, "update-initramfs -k all", but since I don't have an Ubuntu machine handy at the moment you should confirm that with "man update-initramfs". | 03:45 |
| Meris | Hermes1111, another try, do you find a category System Settings => keyboard => shortcuts => windows? That one should contain all shortcuts for window manipulation, including the Ctrl + Alt that you are trying to disable | 03:46 |
| Jordan_U | berto-: If just running "btrfs device scan" and exiting doesn't work (but btrfs device scan is available and appears to work) you may need to mount your root fs to /root/ before exiting the shell. | 03:47 |
| berto- | Jordan_U: the command in the initramfs shell appears to be "btrfsctl -a" | 03:47 |
| berto- | the help for -a says: scans all devices for Btrfs filesystems | 03:48 |
| Meris | Does anyone know how to restore your Desktop folder along with it's functionality after having deleted it by accident? | 03:48 |
| Hermes1111 | Meris, I do not see ctrl + alt in there | 03:48 |
| Hermes1111 | Meris, does a specific one for you have ctrl + alt assigned there? | 03:49 |
| Jordan_U | berto-: I think that's because you're using an old version of btrfs progs. For using btrfs it's practically essential that you use at least the latest stable linux kernel (not just the one in the Ubuntu repositories), and it's important (though not as critical) to install the latest btrfs progs as well. | 03:49 |
| Meris | Hermes1111, as I told you before, I don't use unity, so I wouldn't know. | 03:49 |
| berto- | Jordan_U: yeah, i am using 3.9-rc8 | 03:50 |
| Hermes1111 | Meris, I'm going to just disable all my ctrl + alt ones, see if that works lol | 03:50 |
| berto- | and i rebuilt btrfs-progs, though I'm not sure i installed it properly. i ran `make` and then `make install prefix=/usr bindir=/sbin` | 03:51 |
| Meris | Hermes, do you get a dash or a HUD when using Ctrl + Alt, or does it just resize your window for you? | 03:51 |
| Meris | Hermes1111, ^ | 03:52 |
| mobodo | anyone knows what cwo is and in which package it can be found? | 03:52 |
| Hermes1111 | it just resizes the window | 03:52 |
| Hermes1111 | Meris | 03:53 |
| b4ulook4me | Hello Dear all | 03:53 |
| b4ulook4me | Good morning | 03:53 |
| mobodo | when I press "tab" on the terminal, I get a an error: "No command 'cwo' found, did you mean:", I've never heard of cwo before… :-/ | 03:54 |
| b4ulook4me | Need Help, Installed 13.04 - via usb disk | 03:54 |
| b4ulook4me | have nvidia GT610 | 03:54 |
| Meris | Hermes1111, how does it look, do you get a cross cursor, does your window become full screen, is it restored to it's previous size, or does it minimize the screen? | 03:54 |
| b4ulook4me | when I reboot, it hangs | 03:54 |
| b4ulook4me | hi mobodo, try env cmd and check which shell it is? | 03:55 |
| b4ulook4me | shell=/bin/bash | 03:55 |
| mobodo | b4ulook4me: I'm using bash | 03:55 |
| b4ulook4me | then tab will worl | 03:56 |
| b4ulook4me | work | 03:56 |
| b4ulook4me | hmm | 03:56 |
| b4ulook4me | what does google say? | 03:56 |
| mobodo | b4ulook4me: it's clueless, I also search the ubuntu packages for cwo to no avail | 03:56 |
| berto- | Jordan_U: i mounted the subvolume @ to /root and exited, but it failed with a call trace. | 03:56 |
| berto- | … going to try without mounting /root | 03:56 |
| Hermes1111 | Meris, the first time I hit ctrl+alt it fits the in window mode to the whole top half of the width of my monitor, second time it shrinks that half -> <- to about 3/4 the width, third to 2/4 the width, fourth time to 1/4 the width, 5th time back to full width | 03:57 |
| Hermes1111 | Meris, it fits the window in window mode*** | 03:58 |
| b4ulook4me | mobodo:http://manpages.ubuntu.com/manpages/precise/man1/tgif.1.html | 03:58 |
| Hermes1111 | Meris, this does it for any program I have open | 03:58 |

| researcher123 | my browser suddenly started opening quite slowly | 03:59 |
| sonofzeus | Anyone? | 03:59 |
| mobodo | b4ulook4me: I'm giving it a try, thanks - it could be missing the executable and barfing on the argument | 04:00 |
| b4ulook4me | hmm | 04:00 |
| Hermes1111 | sonofzeus, brother, zeus is my father as well :p | 04:00 |
| mobodo | b4ulook4me: nope :( but thanks for trying :) | 04:01 |
| Meris | Hermes1111, can you try *adding* a new shortcut to keyboard => shortcuts => window? Maybe you can override it that way? | 04:01 |
| b4ulook4me | mobodo: try these 1. cd / 2. find . -type f -name "bash" -noprint | 04:01 |
| Hermes1111 | Meris, good idea, i'll try that | 04:01 |

You can access the grub menu by pressing Esc (Grub legacy) or Shift (Grub2) during boot. For more info see https://help.ubuntu.com/community/BootOptions#Text%20Mode | 04:03 |

| Hermes1111 | Meris, I'll see if I can install any other programs for setting up hotkeys (if you know of one let me know), and maybe I can disable or override it through a diff program | 04:05 |

| Hermes1111 | Meris, I've checked all the options in that menu, even tried out all the ones that were similiar | 04:08 |
| Hermes1111 | Meris, there is no option in there that does what the hotkey does | 04:09 |
| Meris | Hermes1111, when I (on 12.04) use Ctrl + Alt with an arrow key, I will switch between desktops. I am afraid that this quirky behaviour might be unique for 11.10 | 04:12 |

| 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) 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? I have also disabled screen blanking, so I don't think that is involved. | 04:16 |

| pmantis | benno123, I'd recommend enigmail for Thunderbird. Google & youtube have lots of instructions for configuring them. | 04:21 |

| Cyris | im a complete newbie to ubuntu so bare with me all | 05:58 |
| alphaZero | chilling, you? | 05:58 |
| Cyris | trying not to screw up my OS haha | 05:59 |
| Cyris | already had to reinstall because i did the wrong "sudo" command haha | 05:59 |
| alphaZero | which one did you do? | 05:59 |
| SkinnyV | Anyone know a command that could tell me which desktop I'm using on my ubuntu 12.04 server? | 05:59 |
| Cyris | dont even remember this was like 7 hours ago | 05:59 |
| Cyris | i figured it was easier just to start frorm scratch than trying to figure out where i went wrong. it made my terminal go blank and i couldnt do any commands | 06:00 |
| Jordan_U | SkinnyV: Ubuntu Server doesn't have any "Desktop" installed by default... | 06:00 |
| aeon-ltd | SkinnyV: what do you mean by desktop? | 06:00 |
| qin | Cyris: man history; man man; You know of virtual systems, or live for that matter? | 06:00 |
| SkinnyV | i mean, Gnome, KDE, Unity etc | 06:01 |
| Cyris | @qin no | 06:01 |
| Cyris | jesus, i cant even IRC.... its been years | 06:01 |
| SkinnyV | i just installed x2go and trying to connect but need to know which I am using | 06:01 |
| qin | Cyris: if you like to experiment, virtualbox would be very handy. | 06:03 |
| Cyris | quin: what is the basic idea of the program? | 06:03 |
| aeon-ltd | SkinnyV: it's been a while since i used anything like rdp/vnc, but i think you need to be running X then a desktop environment | 06:04 |
| Cyris | googling it now | 06:04 |
| qin | Cyris: it let you run virtual system from image "embedded" into real one, great for making mistakes | 06:04 |
| Cyris | qin: so basically i can try commands before i use them on my OS for real | 06:06 |
| qin | Cyris: yup. | 06:09 |
| Cyris | qin: okay cool i am going to read up on it a bit while installing | 06:09 |

| DRatJr | Could someone assist me on removing Ubuntu from boot options, removing grub, and fixing MBR? | 06:11 |
| PeoplesAdvocate | Okay, I'm still a little confused about installing Ubuntu in UEFI. I recently bought a HP laptop with Windows 8. I want to keep it and I have been reading the documentation on the Ubuntu website about installing Ubuntu in UEFI. I am still a little confused on how to go on about doing this. Currently I have a 400mb Recovery Partition; 260mb EFI System Partition; 568.21gb NTFS (C:); 27.19gb Recovery (D:). Can someone point me in the r | 06:12 |
| Jordan_U | DRatJr: So you have Windows and Ubuntu in a dual boot, and you just want to have Windows boot with no option for Ubuntu? | 06:12 |
| qin | DRatJr: I suspect you need MS (?) resque disk or installation one | 06:13 |
| belak51 | Is there a good way to install Chrome on Ubuntu 13.04? I keep getting an error about a missing libudev0 or something | 06:13 |
| wilee-nilee | hackoo, Yeah you put grub in the windows boot partition this link will tell you the fix. http://sourceforge.net/apps/mediawiki/bootinfoscript/index.php?title=Boot_Problems:Boot_Sector | 06:13 |
| DRatJr | Qin, I have done the /fixmbr command, deleted it in easybcd, and other options. but nothing | 06:14 |
| Jordan_U | DRatJr: Did you install Ubuntu via Wubi? | 06:14 |
| hackoo | wilee-nilee: I appreciate your help. I am going through that link, btw can't I repair this using the same boot-repair tool as it have an option to do so. | 06:15 |
| DRatJr | No, I installed alongside. I have since deleted and merged the partition. | 06:15 |
| DRatJr | I did the uninstall I found on the site | 06:15 |
| DRatJr | But it didn't remove ubuntu from my menu | 06:15 |
| Jordan_U | !bootinfo | DRatJr | 06:15 |
| ubottu | DRatJr: Boot info script is a usefull script for diagnosing boot problems. Run the script following the directions here: http://ubuntuforums.org/showthread.php?t=1291280 and then look at RESULTS.txt (or !pastebin it for others to look at). | 06:15 |
| DRatJr | and when I run automatic repair from recovery usb, it says it cant fix it | 06:15 |
| wilee-nilee | hackoo, I don't use the tool, I'm not sure if t has an option for this situation, look in the sda1 partition in your link and you see grub there. | 06:16 |
| DRatJr | I have posted those on the ubuntu forums, no one seems to be able to help | 06:16 |
| PeoplesAdvocate | @belak51: check this site here. http://www.webupd8.org/2013/04/fix-google-chrome-cant-be-installed-in.html | 06:16 |

| DRatJr | I will brb. I will get boot info script | 06:18 |
| DRatJr | Damn. Now I have to switch my windows recovery usb to a live usb for ubuntu.... OMG | 06:18 |

| jjin082693 | hi guys, having some difficulty installing ubuntu 13.04 and was wondering if anyone could give some guidance | 06:20 |
| wilee-nilee | hackoo, You just use testdisk, however it does show a use from a windows recovery or install disc. I have people just manualy delete the gub files in the partition as well. | 06:20 |
| wilee-nilee | grub* | 06:20 |
| hackoo | wilee-nilee: I am doing test disk, I don't have a Windows recovery disk. Actually it's my official laptop with Windows installed, I like working on Linux so I installed Ubuntu on dual boot. Now I am unable to use several official apps like webex and all. | 06:22 |
| hackoo | wilee-nilee: running test disk | 06:23 |
| pentanol | here anyone fine with svn's? | 06:24 |

| Cyris | qin: downloaded virtual box, but it is now 2:30 am so i am going to head to bed. i will be back on tomorrow to mess around with it and use this channel for FAQ's. thanks dude | 06:28 |
| Cyris | goodnight all | 06:28 |
| jjin082693 | I'm trying to install ubuntu 13.04 as a dual-boot on a windows 8 machine. I'm able to get up to the screen where I can select to install ubuntu (as opposed to try it), after which the screen goes black; but i can hear the notification sound indicating that the setup window's popped up. plus i can hear the feedback when i change volume. | 06:29 |
| jjin082693 | anyone have any idea how to fix this? | 06:29 |
| qin | Cyris: night | 06:29 |
| jjin082693 | i've tried setting nomodeset, which made it able to display video except in three TINY "windows" along the top of my display | 06:29 |
| Jordan_U | jjin082693: Does the same thing happen if you chose "Try Ubuntu" and then select the installer afterward? | 06:30 |
| cotton-gnome | when installing ubuntu-gnome i want to do whole disk encryption when i select the default settings for install /w encryption it tries to install the grub to sda1 but i need it on sdc where i am installing ubuntu/ also dual booting windows on drive sdb | 06:31 |
| cotton-gnome | grub install fails | 06:31 |
| KyeRussell | iirc you'd need grub on sda1 in that setup? | 06:32 |
| jjin082693 | when i choose "try ubuntu" i get the black screen, except with no notification sound and no feedback when i change volume | 06:32 |
| Jordan_U | cotton-gnome: If you use manual partitioning it should allow you to select where grub's boot sector should be installed, though I haven't tested 13.04's installer yet. Also, it doesn't ever default to installing grub's boot sector to a partition, as that's just wrong. | 06:32 |
| DRatJr | Anyone see that? | 06:36 |
| DRatJr | Here is my boot info script: http://paste.ubuntu.com/5611202/ | 06:37 |
| DRatJr | I believe qin was helping me? | 06:37 |
| cotton-gnome | no it asked what drive to install too i selected sdc and when it was installing the grub the message said that "installing grub sda failed", when i selected install w/o grub program locked had to reboot looking at the drive i see 2 partitons one at 254 mb and the other has the rest of the space i put the /boot to the 254 mb drive? and encrypt the rest as a psychical drive | 06:37 |
| Jordan_U | cotton-gnome: Is your boot firmware UEFI or BIOS based? | 06:38 |

| nio707 | i need to how to mount the squashfs partition using ubuntu live cd | 08:50 |
| Jordan_U | nio707: I assume you mean the squashfs file from a LiveCD or LiveCD image? | 08:51 |
| nio707 | Jordan_U i need to mount the squashfs partion of the disk on module . the live cd could detect the partion but when try to mount the partion it fails. is there any patch for the kernel for the squashfs partion | 08:53 |
| Jordan_U | nio707: "the disk on module"? | 08:55 |
| nio707 | Jordan_U its a small memory disk which acts as a hdd for embebded system . it has 4 partion , with 2 partion of ext2 | 08:56 |
| Jordan_U | nio707: Ahh. What is the device node for this squashfs partition? | 08:57 |
| nio707 | Jordan_U its /dev/hda2 | 08:58 |
| nio707 | Jordan_U i tried with slitaz livecd too but when i issue the command say mount /dev/hda2 -t squasfs /home/test/ its give the error cannot find /dev/hda2 . the device node i found is with fdisk command | 09:00 |
| Jordan_U | nio707: What version of Ubuntu are you using? | 09:00 |
| nio707 | Jordan_U i need to find whether the ubuntu10.0lts kernel has the squashfs module or i have to patch it | 09:01 |
| Jordan_U | nio707: Ubuntu 12.04's kernel should have sqaushfs support, as you'll see that the LiveCD itself depends on mounting a squashfs image. | 09:02 |
| nio707 | Jordan_U can you tell me the ubuntu 10.04lts kernel version | 09:03 |
| matthiasba | hi all | 09:03 |
| Jordan_U | nio707: If you're booted into the LiveCD now, then just run "uname -r", or check packages.ubuntu.com. | 09:04 |
| vic | hi all | 09:04 |
| nio707 | yeah i know that but right now i am in cyber cafe as i don't have any internet connection at home | 09:04 |
| Jordan_U | nio707: Please pastebin the output of "sudo parted -l" as well as the exact mount command you're trying to run, and it's complete output (when run in the Ubuntu LiveCD). | 09:05 |
| vic | i want to unlock network locked modem, any help | 09:05 |
| matthiasba | I seem to have a strange problem. Since updating to 13.04 BIND doesn't work anymore. When i do sudo service bind9 restart it starts working again | 09:06 |
| matthiasba | I didn't change anything | 09:06 |
| nio707 | Jordan_U The on-disk format of SquashFS has stabilized enough that it has been merged into the 2.6.29 version of the Linux kernel | 09:06 |
| vic | i want to unlock a network locked modem, any help | 09:06 |
| Jordan_U | nio707: Did you run "sudo fdisk -l" from the Ubuntu liveCD before trying the mount command, or did you just assume that the device name was the same as in slitaz? | 09:06 |
| nio707 | Jordan_U in ubuntu liveCD gparted is there with the gui i can see the partion | 09:08 |
| nio707 | ok it will take some time now i have bring the whole system to the cyber cafe | 09:09 |

| sveinse | I have a problem with samba on 12.04 which I cant figure. I cant get it to serve a symlinked dir, even despite I have follow symlinks and wide links enabled. It used to work, but it doesnt any more. Any ideas to why? | 09:31 |
| Jordan_U | sveinse: Is it an absolute symlink or relative? | 09:32 |
| sveinse | Jordan_U: Absolute. Could that be the case? | 09:32 |
| Jordan_U | sveinse: I know that with sshfs there is an option to automatically convert absolute symlinks to relative, and if you think about it it makes sense since the root filesystem hierarchy will be different on the client and the server, so absolute symlinks would point to different files. | 09:34 |
| sveinse | No, that didnt resolve it. Neither abs or rel symlink works. And I do know the permission of both the symlink and the targeted dir to be correct | 09:35 |

| BlackDex | someone a solution for ubuntu 13.04 with nvidia/intel hybrid? Because after installing nvidia drivers unity isn't starting any more because OpenGL seems broken | 10:41 |

| _rb | Guest4800 - look into File Manager, Computer tab (on right) | 10:41 |
| BlackDex | purging nvidia and enabling unity again fixes it, but no nvidia drivers :( | 10:42 |
| MonkeyDust | sathish chromium does that too, just checked | 10:42 |
| samijam | Guest4800, I think _rb means on the left | 10:43 |
| Guest4800 | ah ok, ty :) | 10:43 |
| MonkeyDust | sathish all is the same in both chrome and chromium, except this https://code.google.com/p/chromium/wiki/ChromiumBrowserVsGoogleChrome | 10:44 |
| Guest4800 | do u mean file system, there is no file manager | 10:44 |
| scumbum | Linus Torvalds told Nvidia to fix driver | 10:45 |
| samijam | Guest4800, if you're looking for your "My Documents" from a Microsoft Windows partition, it might have a different label than "computer" | 10:45 |
| samijam | Guest4800, but it should be listed under "Devices" on the left side of the file manager | 10:45 |

| troy_ | Hi i just installed ubuntu 13.04 and the boot loader seems to be broken I can longer boot into my Windows 7. Windows 7 is on /sdd/sda and ubuntu 13.04 is on /sdd/sdb/. When I choose Windows 7 in the boot loader. It sais unable to read UEFI file etc. | 13:02 |

| bjensen | and the links are broken | 13:19 |
| cfhowlett | bjensen, whoa. wow. | 13:19 |
| BluesKaj_ | javier, you 5.1 surround spdif output has to be dolby digital or a DTS stream from the video soundtrack . Make sure the video you are testinghas DD or DTS by checking in VLC>Tools>Media information , look for an audio stream that looks like : Codec A52 audio (aka AC3 a52) | 13:19 |

| cfhowlett | doctorpepper, what's up, doc | 13:58 |
| javier | i am getting stereo input to the receiver still | 13:58 |
| Forage | jrib: played a game, exited, freeze. Happens more often with that game, but never caused issues like this before | 13:58 |
| diki | so I have .sh file where I have some export commands, but when I execute them from my terminal they do not change anything when I later print the changed/exported variables | 13:58 |
| doctorpepper | where can i find networkmanager 0.9.8 package for precise | 13:58 |
| Forage | jrib: some more details: https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/1169640 | 13:59 |
| ubottu | Launchpad bug 1169640 in gdm (Ubuntu) "GDM fails to start after system crash" [Undecided,New] | 13:59 |
| cfhowlett | Gh05t5, with great power ... | 13:59 |
| jrib | Forage: pastebin your /etc/profile | 13:59 |
| Gh05t5 | cfhowlett, comes great cockups | 13:59 |
| cfhowlett | Gh05t5, as I recall, the DNS gets mirrored to a couple of config files. Can't offer any help beyond that ... | 14:00 |
| Forage | jrib: http://pastebin.com/ZRuZF4FE | 14:00 |
| javier | i have dolby enabled, alsa audio out, spdif selected and hda ati sb, alc892 digital iec958 chosen | 14:00 |
| jrib | Forage: comment the last line (31) and see if the situation changes. Did you fsck after resetting the system? | 14:00 |
| Forage | jrib: yeah | 14:01 |
| javier | in the system preferences i have the same audio device selected | 14:01 |
| Gh05t5 | Hello, I wonder if someone can help me set up my wired connection, it worked when I had a clean install however something has broken it when i tried to change dns to google | 14:01 |
| wilee-nilee | doctorpepper, With a quick web look I see no links. | 14:01 |
| Forage | jrib: ok, will try with commenting out that line. Will need to reboot though. Anything else I should do as a follow up? | 14:02 |
| diki | I see, I need to call source <.sh file> to execute the export commands on the current shell | 14:02 |
| doctorpepper | wilee-nilee: that is why i am asking here ? | 14:02 |
| Errare | hi | 14:02 |
| Puri | hy | 14:02 |
| jrib | Forage: yes, you should come back either way and report the results | 14:02 |
| * Errare has just upgraded his computer to Ubuntu :D | 14:02 | |
| javier | BlueKaj: do i need to follow this https://help.ubuntu.com/community/DigitalAC-3Pulseaudio | 14:02 |
| BluesKaj | javier, ok , open alsamixer , and take a snapshot with your prtScn key and post it on imagebin. I'd like to see your settings | 14:03 |
| wilee-nilee | doctorpepper, Cool, we never know how efficient people are or there google foo abilities. | 14:03 |
| Forage | jrib: haha, of course, just though I might as well do more in one go ;-) | 14:03 |
| wilee-nilee | their* | 14:03 |
| Forage | brb | 14:03 |
| jrib | Forage: oh. No, but you can think about how that line got there; that's my next question :) I'll be back in ~10 | 14:03 |
| FrankieJ | anyone know how to install aptana via cli? | 14:04 |
| Puri | ad gk indo disini? | 14:04 |
| javier | BluesKaj: print screen makes my entire tv grey | 14:04 |
| BluesKaj | javier, that URL is no longer valid , ubuntu no longer uses an asoundrc file for pulseaudio ..Pavucontrol is a useful tool for setting your audio outputs as well. | 14:05 |
| javier | BluesKaj thank you. what can i use instead of printscreen | 14:06 |
| BluesKaj | javier, ok forget the snapshot then | 14:06 |
| Forage | jrib: SUCCESS!!! | 14:07 |
| Forage | finally! | 14:07 |
| javier | BluesKaj, shoud I install the pavucontrol | 14:07 |
| BluesKaj | javier,in alasmixer , make sure your spdif oputs are using pcm . Yes pavucontrol is quite handy | 14:07 |
| scumbum | javier: whats wrong | 14:08 |
| MonkeyDust | scumbum javier is struggling with surround audio | 14:09 |
| javier | in alsamixer, i have a spdif connection that is marked s/pdif and another that is s/pdif default pcm | 14:09 |
| javier | not sure if this means anything but auto-mute is enabled | 14:10 |
| Gh05t5 | Hello, I wonder if someone can help me set up my wired connection, it worked when I had a clean install however something has broken it when i tried to change dns to google | 14:10 |
| wilee-nilee | doctorpepper, I see it in this ppa however not necessarily pointed at precise, there is a update on the page for a tar, it is in raring stock. Use at your own risk. https://launchpad.net/~mathieu-tl/+archive/nm | 14:10 |
| BluesKaj | javier, are the spdifs showing as 0 and 1 ? | 14:10 |
| BluesKaj | javier, disable auto mute | 14:11 |
| lovethecode | how did you change the dns, Ghost5? | 14:11 |
| javier | all of the channels (PCM, front, surround, center, left and side) are all green | 14:11 |
| scumbum | javier: in terminal type alsamixer or alsa-mixer | 14:11 |
| Forage | jrib: I did have to install autopackage in the past. Since I hardly shutdown my system I never connected it installing that package with issue because it was way earlier. | 14:11 |
| javier | the spdif are not marked 0 or 1 | 14:11 |
| BluesKaj | javier, no MMs in the ctrls ? | 14:11 |
| javier | no | 14:12 |
| javier | only the front and rear mic | 14:12 |
| Gh05t5 | lovethecode, in edit connections wired, ipv4, DNS settings | 14:12 |
| scumbum | javier: in terminal type alsamixer | 14:12 |
| Forage | jrib: strange that it only caused issues with gdm though | 14:12 |
| Errare | I have a question if anybody knows the answer. Is it possible to delete my Windows partition and give Linux the rest of the space on my hard drive? (Upgraded to Ubuntu 12.04 LTS from Windows 7). The machine is currently dual-booted. | 14:12 |
| BluesKaj | ok javier have you installed pavucontrol yet ? | 14:12 |
| lovethecode | ah Ghost5, try to set everything to auto config, which should fix the error. | 14:12 |
| Gh05t5 | lovethecode, can you let me know how i select auotconfIig | 14:13 |
| lovethecode | Errare, yes, resize the partition with GParted from Live Ubuntu CD. | 14:13 |
| Errare | Ok thanks, lovethecode. | 14:13 |
| Tomtiger11 | Hey, Id like something that will allow me to network a few computers and have the same files and credentials on all of them | 14:13 |
| * BluesKaj wishes ubuntu would come up with an integrated audio suite , insted of this dog'sd breafast of integrating serttings in differnt audio apps | 14:13 | |
| scumbum | javier: you need to unmute surrond sound | 14:14 |
| nyuszika7h | hi, I've installed rxvt-unicode but my colors are messed up. any idea how to fix? my ~/.Xresources: http://paste.ubuntu.com/5612438/ | 14:14 |
| scumbum | Using alsamixer | 14:14 |
| javier | BluesKaj, i have it installed now | 14:14 |
| BluesKaj | scumbum, are you following the discussion , he already has | 14:14 |
| lovethecode | ghost5, I think we should try to reverse the settings that caused the error. | 14:14 |
| wilee-nilee | Errare, From windows? Is this a ubuntu install from windows? | 14:15 |
| MonkeyDust | lovethecode type gh [tab] | 14:15 |
| nyuszika7h | also this is Xubuntu 13.04 | 14:15 |
| BluesKaj | ok open pavucontrol and set the outputs to your soundcrads spdif out in the drop down | 14:15 |
| BluesKaj | javier,^ | 14:15 |
| Gh05t5 | lovethecode, sounds good to me I just don't know how sorry, im too new. I read an article online extoling the virtues of google dns as being faster. seems im not clever enough to follow the steps | 14:16 |
| javier | I have the pavucontrol open | 14:16 |
| lovethecode | ok brb | 14:16 |
| johnjohn1011 | is it possible to use one of the new 4TB drives and load ubuntu from scratch on it? | 14:16 |
| scumbum | javier: sound may be un muted in sound control. Alsamixer may show otherwise. | 14:16 |
| javier | scumbum please explain | 14:17 |
| Gh05t5 | test sorry | 14:17 |
| Gh05t5 | lovethecode, did you get this msg? | 14:17 |
| Errare | wilee-nilee, I have two partitions on my hard drive 200gig and 300 gig approx. I installed ubuntu with a program called UNETBOOT i think it was since my CDs wasn't working. I ran the whole thing through windows and it is dual-booted now. | 14:17 |
| BluesKaj | javier, choose the "output devices" tab and choose the ports dropdown , choose spdif out | 14:18 |
| wilee-nilee | Errare, Okay cool, just concerned it might be a wubi install which is a file in windows. | 14:18 |
| Errare | oh, would that matter? | 14:18 |
| scumbum | javier: just type alsamixer in terminal | 14:18 |
| nyuszika7h | http://imgur.com/mHtaXWv | 14:18 |
| lovethecode | ghost5, please select "automatic (DHCP)" under the IPv4 setttings tab of your ethernet config popup. | 14:19 |
| wilee-nilee | Errare, Yes, if you removed windows you would remove ubuntu. | 14:19 |
| Errare | Oh lol | 14:19 |
| wilee-nilee | Errare, Not what you would want, lol. | 14:19 |
| Errare | Not really no wilee-nilee. | 14:19 |
| javier | Blues | 14:20 |
| javier | BluesKaj, done | 14:20 |
| Errare | Is there a way I could check? Without actually trying it? | 14:20 |
| scumbum | javier: when alsamixer is running press function key 6 then select audio device you want to adjust | 14:20 |
| wilee-nilee | Errare, install gparted and look for the ext4 partitions and a swap. | 14:20 |
| Errare | I just want MS completely out of my system, I don't even use it anymore. | 14:21 |
| DeSmuME | Errare : reinstall linux overeverything than | 14:21 |
| wilee-nilee | Errare, YOU can run sudo fdisk -l in ubuntu and look for the ext4 parttions as well | 14:21 |
| wilee-nilee | DeSmuME, Don't just spit out advice read the page. | 14:22 |
| javier | ok. thank you very much | 14:22 |
| yeehi | which folder are the wallpaper images in? | 14:22 |
| javier | BluesKaj, it appears that after selecting the correct formats and output device i have surround for movies | 14:22 |
| javier | can you help me get 5.1 for rhythmbox? | 14:22 |
| MonkeyDust | yeehi /usr/share/backgrounds/ | 14:23 |
| oyster | my window manager just hung | 14:23 |
| oyster | mouse mooves but wont click anything | 14:23 |
| yeehi | Thanks, MonkeyDust | 14:23 |
| oyster | keyboard is dead | 14:23 |
| Errare | ok thanks wilee-nilee. WIll look into it now. | 14:23 |
| oyster | but i can switch to a vt | 14:23 |
| BluesKaj | javier, now open a video encoded with DD surround , with VLC , then choose tools > prefernces > audio , then choose "alsa audio output" and check the spdif option below it , then save at the bottom | 14:24 |
| yeehi | MonkeyDust, how do you know these sorts of things? | 14:24 |
| MonkeyDust | yeehi by using ubuntu | 14:24 |
| MonkeyDust | yeehi in the end, you just know, there's no trick | 14:24 |
| oyster | why can this happen | 14:24 |
| BluesKaj | javier, setting your prefernces in VLC will preserve the settings for futher reboots | 14:24 |
| deb__ | Sorry, i speak english small. How change font and size font used command line in .doc file? | 14:24 |
| yeehi | ah, you must know and love it very well | 14:24 |
| oyster | damn .. my only option seems to be restarting x now | 14:25 |
| oyster | folks is ther any x log i can check | 14:25 |
| BluesKaj | javier, so you have surround Dolby Digital 5.1 ? | 14:27 |
| happyhessian | hello, i'm having some trouble installing RR to my desktop... i'm doing kubuntu and it dies on grub-install. what is the correct location for bootloader installation if i have lvm2 already set up from a previous install? i thought /dev/sda but i'm getting a fatal error there. should i go for the / lv? it feels wrong... | 14:28 |
| javier | i did for a second now i am not getting any sound for some reason | 14:28 |
| Zoyo | hi | 14:28 |
| scumbum | Zoyo: hello | 14:30 |
| BluesKaj | javier, does your receiver show a pcm feed ? | 14:31 |
| scumbum | javier: my way would activate sorround sound system eide | 14:31 |

| shantorn | could anyone tell me if conky works well with unity? | 14:32 |
| shantorn | mine doesnt seem to | 14:32 |
| scumbum | shantorn: hello | 14:32 |
| shantorn | hello | 14:33 |
| === DocGroove is now known as DocGrooveAway | ||
| Zoyo | What's the name of the executable that is started when klicking on the settings-entry under the gearwheel-icon? this doesn't start anymore after upgrading to raring. | 14:34 |
| scumbum | shantorn: conky would just clutter things up in unity | 14:34 |
| jrib | Forage: bashisms like [[ should not be in /etc/profile apparently. If it was added automatically by a package, you should notify the maintainer | 14:35 |
| nantou | how do I split cue files and convert em to mp3 with linux only and not using ape (license issues)? | 14:35 |
| shantorn | since you pmed me and called me a stupid jerk your opinion doesnt matter to me | 14:35 |
| jrib | !iso | nantou | 14:36 |
| ubottu | nantou: To mount an ISO disc image, type « sudo mount -o loop <ISO-filename> <mountpoint> » - There is a list of useful cd image conversion tools at http://wiki.linuxquestions.org/wiki/CD_Image_Conversion - Always verify the ISO using !MD5 before !burning. | 14:36 |
| wilee-nilee | scumbum, That is a personal opinion not support. | 14:36 |
| jrib | nantou: do those conversion utilities help you? | 14:36 |
| wilee-nilee | shantorn, Report those sort of PM's to #ubuntu-ops | 14:36 |
| nantou | i dont have iso files anywhere, just ape | 14:37 |
| cyclist_2 | Whatever happened to Swiftfox [the web browser]? Their web site is still up but there is no longer access to their files and no comments about it on the internet [that I could find]; check it out on http://getswiftfox.com/ | 14:37 |
| shantorn | ok wilee-nilee | 14:37 |
| BluesKaj | shantorn, just put him on ignore , he pm'd me as well | 14:38 |
| scumbum | This is support not complaint room | 14:41 |
| wilee-nilee | cyclist_2, There is a installer link on the site. | 14:41 |
| javier__ | BluesKaj, thank you very very much. i have surround for movies now | 14:41 |
| javier__ | could you please help me enable 5.1 or 7.1 for rhythmbox please | 14:42 |
| cyclist_2 | wilee-nilee: it does not work for me; did you actually clicked on the links? | 14:42 |
| BluesKaj | javier__, sorry i don't use rhythmbox | 14:42 |
| javier__ | ok. what do you use? | 14:42 |
| wilee-nilee | cyclist_2, I'm not going to install it to check but look here. http://getswiftfox.com/deb.htm | 14:43 |
| javier__ | BluesKaj, what program do you recommend instead | 14:44 |
| BluesKaj | rhythmbox probly won't play surround sound , VLC will if you have music encoded with 5 or 7.1 surround , javier__ | 14:44 |
| jjin | i'm trying to install ubuntu GNOME 13.04 via usb as a dual-boot on a machine currently running windows 8, but the usb drive containing it isn't recognized as a boot option. the same drive with regular ubuntu 13.04 (with unity) works just fine and is recognized. any ideas? | 14:44 |
| scumbum | javier__: music is stereo | 14:44 |
| BluesKaj | not all music is stereo , there are some dvd audio surround encoded files or disks available | 14:45 |
| javier__ | scumbum, my issue is that when i was playing music thru rhythmbox before, my sub wouldnt enable as a stereo input | 14:46 |
| javier__ | i installed the equilizer ppa and enabled the lfe before, and am seeing if i have to do the same thing | 14:46 |
| mar | just installed 13.04 - What should I do about nVidia drivers? | 14:46 |
| wilee-nilee | jjin, This the gnome remix, does it have the uefi stuff onboard? | 14:46 |
| cyclist_2 | wilee-nilee: you will not install it by just clicking on the link; you should get a new window asking whether you wish to install it or to open it; anyway, if you do not know the answer to my question, I thank you for you reply but seek no further assistance from you; I *actually clicked on all links and all I get is a '404 - not found page' message*; that's the reason for my curiosity | 14:47 |
| jjin | it's not gnome remix, as far as i can tell. it's the version i got directly from the ubuntu website | 14:47 |
| sathish | Hi guys, I have bumblebee project installed, I prefer to run vlc with nvidia card, how do I automatically run vlc with optirun vlc, whenever I start vlc? | 14:48 |
| scumbum | javier__: do like blueaho-led said rythmbox may not be able play more than 2 channels | 14:48 |
| BluesKaj | javier__, just use vlc | 14:48 |
| wilee-nilee | cyclist_2, If you don't want to add it to your sources.list that is your decision, don't criticize me for helping you. | 14:49 |

| BluesKaj | javier can you set your audio receiver to do surround from 2 channels using dolby pro logic or a similar setting ? | 14:50 |
| scumbum | wilee-nilee: to much of humble pie | 14:50 |
| wilee-nilee | jjin, Ah, could be any number of reasons, bad usb load...etc UEFI stuff, have you seen the UEFI wiki? | 14:50 |

| Kyshtynbai | Hi guys. Should I install 64bit system on a notebook with this processor, http://pastebin.com/MmMNkQcm or it is pointless? | 14:55 |
| Jeff_Stylez | I could use some help if someone's got a minute. Been searching the web for two days trying different things, and I simply can't get Ubuntu installed on my box. I think it's related to my video cards because of the errors I'm receiving from nouveau. Tried CD's, USB, nomodeset, blacklisting nouveau, nothing works, end up simply at a black screen. (No cursor) | 14:55 |
| BluesKaj | Kyshtynbai, pointless , it won't install on that machine , use the 32 bit image | 14:58 |
| Kyshtynbai | Thanks. | 14:58 |
| === iorweth_brb is now known as iorweth | ||
| varikonniemi | Jeff_Stylez, | 14:59 |
| varikonniemi | sorry you had no cursor. i had a very weird problem with 13.04 somehow related to it being confused to where to put the bootloader | 14:59 |
| === mladoux is now known as Korekame | ||

| vonkrolok | hello everybody | 15:01 |
| vonkrolok | I'm in need of a help with banshee & ipod touch | 15:01 |
| Jeff_Stylez | The black screen only occurs when I use nomodeset and/or blacklist nouveau. Otherwise it'll go to low-graphics mode. But will never actually install. | 15:01 |
| vonkrolok | on ubuntu precise | 15:01 |
| Jeff_Stylez | Actually, seems it won't even check the disk for errors once I've blacklisted nouveau. | 15:02 |

| vonkrolok | hi | 15:04 |
| jpastore | hi I just upgraded from 12.04->12.10->13.04. haven't turned this laptop on in a while. can I easily uninstall unity and install gnome? | 15:04 |
| pii3 | i have remote desktop server available on ubuntu 10.04 LTS, how can i set remote desktop server for which monitor | 15:05 |
| jjin | wilee-nilee: i have. what confuses me is that the exact same usb drive with "vanilla" ubuntu (w/ unity) on it is recognized just fine | 15:05 |
| wilee-nilee | jpastore, No gnome 2 is not available, however there are other desktop options. | 15:05 |
| jpastore | wilee-nilee: I just read that 13.04 is the first version since 11.04 to offer gnome officially | 15:05 |
| pii3 | i have two monitor i just want first monitor to show ? | 15:05 |
| wilee-nilee | jpastore, gnome 3 | 15:06 |
| jpastore | wilee-nilee: so cna I uninstall unity and install gnome3? | 15:06 |
| lovethecode | I like the 13.04, so far! | 15:07 |
| cristian_c | Hi | 15:07 |
| wilee-nilee | jpastore, YOu have gnome already it underlies the ubinty desktop which is a plugin in compiz, if you want the gnome 3 shell and the fallback option install the gnome shell. Removing unity is not a wise thing in general. | 15:07 |
| wilee-nilee | s/unity | 15:08 |
| jpastore | wilee-nilee: yea but I really don't like unity. it might be the lowest common denominator interface that works well for all sizes...but I do not like it. | 15:08 |
| spab | So - uh. How can I apt install something that has two ++'s in the name? It's been treated like I'm trying to regex something | 15:08 |
| spab | Escaping the +'s doesn't help neither does enclosing it in quotes and google is worthless | 15:09 |
| jpastore | I will look up how to uninstall unity if it will revert back to just using gnome. thanks. | 15:09 |
| wilee-nilee | jjin, I don't really understand the differences of your downloads to be honest, might you just need to use the out if the bois boot from menu? | 15:09 |
| cristian_c | There is a mysterious problem with my laptop. I mean, when I run the suspension, after the restore there are problems. The first of which is that the Chromium browser will no longer open (but it also does with Chrome) and if you launch it from the terminal, an error is returned. | 15:09 |
| vonkrolok | is there somebody here that uses ubuntu to sync and ipod touch? | 15:09 |
| spab | vonkrolok, what version of iPod touch? | 15:09 |
| spab | If it's 6th-gen, gtkpod doesn't do it right, I can tell you that | 15:10 |
| vonkrolok | 2G | 15:11 |
| vonkrolok | it's an old one | 15:11 |
| amazigh | hi ! | 15:11 |
| spab | vonkrolok, try gtkpod | 15:11 |
| spab | The people behind it actually care about the user experience | 15:11 |
| Forage | jrib: I got rid of autopackage instead | 15:11 |
| jjin | wilee-nilee: what do you mean by that? i've been using the "boot from" menu this entire time, to no success | 15:12 |
| cristian_c | Also, when I try to logout or reboot the pc freezes, meaning that when I try to restart, the screen goes black and hangs there indefinitely (in the case of the log, it appears the shell with the messages, but it hangs too) and I have to brutally shut down the pc. | 15:12 |
| amazigh | does any of you guys have an idea why youtube is so slow since a week ? | 15:12 |
| Jeff_Stylez | Hmm. Could my install troubles be related to the SLI bridge being installed? | 15:12 |
| cristian_c | I tried several solutions, from uswsusp to tuxonice, to create a special file in /etc/pm/config.d/, but these attempts have not been successful. I also checked the syslog, but also did not provide significant information about the origin of the problem | 15:13 |
| wilee-nilee | jjin, To boot a usb you can change the bios, or use a key prompt at poering on to get a one tome boot from menu not in the bios. | 15:13 |
| cristian_c | Any ideas? | 15:13 |
| varikonniemi | Jeff_Stylez, at least i have no problems with or without bridges | 15:13 |
| amazigh | I have Ubuntu 12.10 installed and I am using Firefox | 15:13 |
| jjin | wilee-nilee, that's what i've done already | 15:13 |
| aurelia88 | gh | 15:13 |
| aurelia88 | yes | 15:13 |
| amazigh | No idea why since a week now Youtube is very slow | 15:13 |

| wilee-nilee | jjin, Excellent we don't know that unless you specifically tell us, I find that about 90% of the people I mention that to on the channel do not know about that option. ;) | 15:14 |
| jjin | wilee-nilee: oops, probably should have mentioned it first then. also, when i go into BIOS to try to change the boot order, the USB containing ubuntu-gnome does not show up on the list of options, whereas the one w/ regular ubuntu does | 15:15 |
| jjin | wilee-nilee: just btw, when i say ubuntu-gnome i'm referring to this http://cdimage.ubuntu.com/ubuntu-gnome/releases/13.04/release/ | 15:16 |
| jjin | wilee-nilee: i'm using the amd64 version, as that's the version that the ubuntu website seems to suggest that i use, given that i'm running windows 8 on a UEFI machine | 15:16 |
| wilee-nilee | jjin, That is the same release as the ubuntu.com one | 15:17 |
| jjin | wilee-nilee: yes i get that they're coming from the same source , but does this one not use GNOME instead of unity? | 15:18 |
| trietptm | Hello everybody, I have a question: Do I need to use tcpdump with parameter -s 65535 like in this link if I need to capture the full dump: https://www.wireshark.org/docs/wsug_html_chunked/AppToolstcpdump.html | 15:18 |
| wilee-nilee | jjin, Heh that is the remix I asked you about to begin with actually. | 15:18 |
| thrax | evening | 15:18 |
| wilee-nilee | jjin, Yes it is gnome 3 only I believe. | 15:19 |
| jjin | wilee-nilee: oops. sorry | 15:19 |
| jjin | wilee-nilee: does that give you any idea of what the issues i'm facing might be? | 15:19 |
| wilee-nilee | jjin, Heh, no biggie with so many releases it is not easy to follow everyone. ;) | 15:20 |
| wilee-nilee | jjin, Not really I would check the md5sum and if okay reload it to the usb with unetbootin or another loader. | 15:20 |
| wilee-nilee | Might need to format the usb to just be sure. | 15:22 |

| wilee-nilee | lomo7, this sort of stand out what up with it. "322 not upgraded" | 15:24 |
| lomo7 | wilee-nilee: what? | 15:25 |
| jjin | wilee-nilee: i'm also having a problem with "vanilla" ubuntu where it can boot to the menu where i choose to "try ubuntu" or "install ubuntu". but when i choose to install, the screen goes black, but i can hear the notification sound indicating that the setup window's appeared. and when i adjust the volume, i can hear the feedback beeps | 15:25 |
| wilee-nilee | lomo7, Your link says you have 322 ugrades being held. | 15:25 |
| lomo7 | wilee-nilee: and what should i do? sorry im noob with it... | 15:25 |
| Adela | Hello. Where is the X.org cofiguration file in Ubuntu 12.04? | 15:26 |
| wilee-nilee | jjin, You have a uefi setup so I have no clue, the ubuntu forums though has a mod who focuses on this. Maybe a nomodeset in the usb boot is needed not sure. | 15:26 |
| wilee-nilee | lomo7, Run a sudo apt-get update in the terminal and pastebin all the text. | 15:27 |
| jjin | wilee-nilee: i tried that, which made it able to display video...in three TINY copies of the desktop along the top of the monitor | 15:27 |
| wilee-nilee | jjin, Not sure here. | 15:28 |
| mzaza | Is there an expected time to get bug fixes updates for Ubuntu 13.04? It's very sluggish on my i5 machine and nautlius and the desktop are extremely slow. | 15:28 |
| jjin | wilee-nilee: what REALLY confuses me is that the FIRST time i tried trying/installing ubuntu (yesterday morning) everything worked FLAWLESSLY. i had to stop though because i had to go somewhere | 15:28 |
| jjin | wilee-nilee: thanks for the help. | 15:28 |
| wilee-nilee | jjin, Bummer when that happens. | 15:29 |
| caelan | Hello, I need a really quick answer. I just installed Gnome 3.8 on Ubuntu 13.04 with GDM, and there is NO GNOME CLASSIC MODE. I need a really fast answer, thanks. | 15:30 |
| vonkrolok | sorry spab apparently left... is there someone quite experienced in syncing ipod and rhythmbox/banshee? | 15:30 |
| wilee-nilee | caelan, 3.8 is not a stable install | 15:30 |
| caelan | What do you mean? | 15:31 |
| caelan | Is there no Gnome Classic Mode on 3.8? I've read everywhere that there is. | 15:31 |
| vonkrolok | 3.6 is the stable one | 15:31 |
| wilee-nilee | caelan, It is not an official release for ubuntu it is in development. | 15:31 |
| lomo7 | wilee-nilee: http://pastebin.com/RKtUdum2 | 15:31 |
| caelan | But how do I get Classic Mode. | 15:31 |
| lomo7 | i appreciate you attention! | 15:31 |

| mar | i want to install nVidia drivers, but I don't know the details of my card. So to do a smart scan, the nVidia page says 'The NVIDIA Smart Scan requires the latest version of Java'. I have Java runtime 7. What's the problem?? | 15:32 |
| caelan | Hello. | 15:32 |
| caelan | How do I get classic mode on Gnome 3.8, I've installed it, but it's not visible in the session selection. | 15:33 |
| wilee-nilee | lomo7, IT appears the earlier 322 not upgraded is associated with the openssh-server byobu install attempt, the regular update looks good. Not sure of a definitive answer to that install. | 15:34 |

| wilee-nilee | caelan, The fall back is part of the gnome-shell install. | 15:34 |
| caelan | It's not fallback mode, it says there is a new Classic MOde in 3.8 to replace fallback. | 15:35 |
| caelan | Sorry, I am in a rush here. | 15:35 |
| wilee-nilee | and have some patience, lol | 15:35 |
| wilee-nilee | six minutes I will never get back lol | 15:35 |
| caelan | So, does anybody know why the new classic mode is not visible in the session selector on Gnome 3.8? | 15:36 |
| wilee-nilee | part of the gnome-shell none the less I believe | 15:36 |

| wilee-nilee | !antivirus | vi956925 | 15:39 |
| ubottu | vi956925: Antivirus is something you don't need on !Linux. except where files are then passed to windows computers (perhaps using samba), See https://help.ubuntu.com/community/Antivirus | 15:39 |

| wilee-nilee | !firewall | vi956925 | 15:40 |
| ubottu | vi956925: Ubuntu, like any other Linux distribution, has firewall capabilities built-in. The firewall is managed using the 'ufw' command - see https://help.ubuntu.com/community/UFW | An alternative to ufw is the 'iptables' command - See https://help.ubuntu.com/community/IptablesHowTo | GUI frontends such as Gufw (GNOME) and Guarddog (KDE from Lucid onwards) also exist. | 15:40 |

| Forage | is there a way to determine what new packages have been installed after upgrading from 12.10 to 13.04? | 15:40 |
| OhioGuy | hi ,, I recently installed ubuntu 13.04 over 10.04 on a dell laptop ,,, I'm using the gnome user interface ,,, sometimes when I try to close an app , ( firefox , pdf viewer , opera , etc. ) I click the "red X" , the line that it is on greys out , but the app doesn't close | 15:40 |
| lomo7 | wilee-nilee: i did check - http://pastebin.com/pzKLZc8M | 15:41 |
| OhioGuy | if I click on the app itself ,, the red X turns back red ,, but further clicks will not close the app | 15:41 |
| wilee-nilee | lomo7, looks like a amd ati thang which I know nothing about. | 15:41 |
| Gh05t5 | lovethecode, sounds good to me I just don't know how sorry, im too new. I read an article online extoling the virtues of google dns as being faster. seems im not clever enough to follow the steps | 15:42 |
| OhioGuy | the way that I have found to close the app is to minimize it , the restore ,,, then it will close with the red X | 15:42 |
| OhioGuy | does anyone have any ideas how to resolve this problem ? | 15:43 |
| wilee-nilee | OhioGuy, When you say over what does that mean? | 15:43 |
| OhioGuy | wilee-nile , I did an upgrade | 15:43 |
| wilee-nilee | OhioGuy, In what way? | 15:43 |
| wilee-nilee | fresh install with the partition being formatted? | 15:45 |
| OhioGuy | wilee-nile , booted a live dvd ,,, did the install from the desk top , and when asked , I told it to upgrade | 15:45 |
| Gh05t5 | are there default wired connection settings I can restore to? | 15:47 |
| wilee-nilee | OhioGuy, Not sure I understand, I'm not aware of a upgrade from 10.04 straight to 13.04, that is not a complete overwrite. | 15:48 |
| wilee-nilee | might be one just never have seen it. | 15:49 |

| wilee-nilee | gizmis, Can you explain that better, this is ubuntu support in general. | 15:50 |
| OhioGuy | wilee-nile ,,, I might have been mistaken ,, it may have been 10.10 ,,,, since it is "over written " is there any way to find out what it was originally | 15:51 |
| Gh05t5 | can someone help me configure a wired connection please? | 15:52 |
| wilee-nilee | OhioGuy, Not that I know of, however if it was a fresh install basically, I would check the dvd's md5sum it might be a bad install. | 15:52 |
| adamk | Gh05t5: We can only help if you actually tell us what you are trying to do and ask a real question... | 15:53 |
| wilee-nilee | OhioGuy, Did you have a separate home? | 15:53 |
| wilee-nilee | or do you I guess | 15:53 |
| Gh05t5 | Hello, I wonder if someone can help me set up my wired connection, it worked when I had a clean install however something has broken it when i tried to change dns to google | 15:53 |
| gizmis | wilee-nilee, I want to see the most frequently used commands in the terminal, as history shows all used commands, and I want to most frequently used | 15:53 |
| Gh05t5 | adamk, is that specific enough to be useful? | 15:53 |
| wilee-nilee | gizmis, when and where that context. | 15:54 |
| MartynKeigher | hi | 15:54 |
| adamk | Gh05t5: In what way is it broken? Can you ping your router? | 15:54 |
| Gh05t5 | adamk, I then deleted the connection and tried to create a new one, however it still doesn'c connect. I beleive it is caused by me attemptig to follow a guide to start using google dns at 8.8.8.8 | 15:54 |
| Gh05t5 | adamk, I will try now, so i will disconnect wireless to try that, brb | 15:55 |
| OhioGuy | wilee-nile ,, ok , I'll check that ,,, another question ,,with the previous version , when I closed the lid,,, the system shut down ,, now the only options are suspend , or do nothing ,,, is there a way to make it shutdown on lid closure ? | 15:55 |
| wilee-nilee | gizmis, The ones you use or the community uses? | 15:55 |
| wilee-nilee | OhioGuy, In settings and power there are options | 15:56 |

| bigpete01 | Wilee-nilee, I searched how to fix AR8162, can I download "compat-wireless-3.5.1-1-snpc.tar.bz2" and put it on a thumb drive | 16:28 |

| plotino | hello everyone | 16:28 |
| plotino | i have a problem with lubuntu | 16:29 |
| plotino | i have in stalled yesterday | 16:29 |
| Gnea | !lubuntu | plotino | 16:29 |
| ubottu | plotino: lubuntu is Ubuntu with LXDE instead of !GNOME as desktop environment, which makes it extremely lightweight. See https://wiki.ubuntu.com/Lubuntu - /join #lubuntu for lubuntu support. | 16:29 |
| caelan | So, theadmin, where can I go to get support for this problem? | 16:29 |
| wilee-nilee | bigpete01, I have no idea. | 16:29 |
| theadmin | caelan: #gnome I suppose. It's likely a missing session package. | 16:29 |
| bigpete01 | Wilee-nilee, LOL | 16:29 |
| caelan | OK, thanks theadmin. | 16:29 |
| bigpete01 | Wilee-nilee, crazy, it works flawless on one machine and nothing on the other. | 16:30 |

| kwelndar | tanstaafl, did you delete from command line? | 16:31 |
| bestdnd | hi. i opened amule from Terminal. how can i close the terminal window without closing amule? | 16:31 |
| theadmin | bestdnd: You'd have to start the command with &disown so that the terminal doesn't "own" it. | 16:31 |
| tanstaafl | kwelndar, no I ran gksu nautilus and navigated to the directory. I was cutting and pasting icons to my home directory (to remove them from unity bar) then putting them back. | 16:32 |
| tanstaafl | on one I accidentally moved to trash and can't restore it. | 16:32 |
| bestdnd | but then i can't see any messege amule is sending to it | 16:33 |
| wilee-nilee | bigpete01, lol, I will leave that to you, I have a thing about bricking others setups, never have yet, not gonna start now, lol. | 16:33 |
| MonkeyDust | bestdnd use the ampersand & like: amule& | 16:33 |
| kwelndar | tanstaafl, and it doesn't show up in Trash? | 16:33 |
| bestdnd | thanks | 16:34 |
| tanstaafl | it shows in trash | 16:34 |
| tanstaafl | kwelndar, permission denied upon restore | 16:34 |

| sveinse | Why does Chrome report outdated java, when chrome plugins reports the newest version? And on java.com the version check, chrome first reports outdated java when the check is started, but reports OK, has latest version afterwards | 16:37 |
| kwelndar | tanstaafl, if you are still using the same gksu-ed nautilus it should work | 16:37 |
| sveinse | I have oracle java PPA where I download upstream jre | 16:37 |
| kwelndar | tanstaafl, but you might have to open a terminal | 16:37 |
| tanstaafl | kwelndar, gksu nautilus loads root trash. The files appear in user trash. | 16:38 |
| tanstaafl | kwelndar, if I knew the directory location of trash on ubuntu 13.04 I could solve the problem handily. | 16:38 |
| BluesKaj | sveinse, some sites wrongly report java is not up to date , sometimes it's a redirect to scam site if click on their upgrade link , usually meant for MS Windows | 16:39 |
| MonkeyDust | tanstaafl try ~/.local/share/Trash/ | 16:39 |
| tanstaafl | MonkeyDust, there they are! thanks | 16:40 |
| sveinse | BluesKaj: Heh. Even java.com reports not up to date, but then is reports latest after pressing "run anyways". And with the message "java outdated" is reported by chrome, not by the web page | 16:41 |

| chron | hi, i just set up a 13.04 system, but trying to install nvidia drivers(gt 220) for vdpau support just ends in an X freeze after ~1min, are there any known bugs regarding this? | 16:44 |
| kwelndar | sveinse, I think, but am not sure that it is a FEATURE of chrome to show outdated Java plugin, because all Java plugin versions have serious security flaws and should not be used at this time! | 16:45 |
| sveinse | kwelndar: Well, I tend to agree. Doesn't help though when Norwegian government forces us to sign in using java to be able to deliver our tax returns :P | 16:46 |
| kwelndar | Using command line Java is still fine, but use in any browser as a plugin is asking for serious trouble | 16:46 |
| kwelndar | sveinse, ouch, that hurts. I remember hearing that a lot of banks across the waters use Java | 16:47 |
| Zipppyyyy | I'm trying to do an upgrade but get this http://pastebin.ubuntu.com/5612954/ and when I try to do an apt-get -f install it fails, how can i get rid of this error without wrecking the existing mysql install? | 16:47 |
| BluesKaj | sveinse, yes then there is definitely a problem if a legit site is giving you the update required message :P | 16:49 |
| sveinse | kwelndar: Yep. A system they called BankID. Its a security-dongle challenge-response thing based on java. Java is great, because with it there is at least a minuscule change for linux support. But quoting them after the resent security issues with java "we're desperately searching out alternatives to java". | 16:49 |

| MonkeyDust | Korpcake sudo -e /etc/hostname | 16:51 |
| jrib | !hostname | Korpcake | 16:52 |
| ubottu | Korpcake: Use hostname <somehostname> to set the hostname, or to do it permanently: edit /etc/hosts to include BOTH the old and new hostname and then change /etc/hostname to the new one. WARNING! Make sure that your current hostname and /etc/hosts match, otherwise sudo may not work properly. | 16:52 |

| Troy^ | hmm. im having difficulties getting ubuntu 13.04 to dual boot with windows 7. when i install ubuntu on my second hard drive. botting into windows is broken. also booting into ubuntu seems to hang when selecting Ubuntu in the grub menu. took me three reboots selecting ubuntu in the grub menu to get ubuntu to boot. So what's the easiest way to get both working from the grub menu prior to ubuntu install? | 17:16 |
| vi956925 | oh, cool, thanks! | 17:16 |
| sevencipher | @vi there may also be a .pidgin folder in your home directory if thats not deleted you could try that | 17:17 |
| xebra | jrib, specifically, google chrome (chromium). I'd run it as an app so I get no navigation bars, etc. But I get the (metacity?) frame for the window. I'd like to take that away too | 17:17 |
| wilee-nilee | Troy^, Are you using the something other option in the ubuntu install, the manual install and pointing grub to its mbr? | 17:17 |

| embrik | tryiong to re cover files from a broken HD - it doesn't show up anywhere. Write dmesg but nothing. ANy suggestions? | 18:38 |
| Rhenzar | Do any of you have experience with dual-booting on a Windows 8 machine? | 18:38 |
| Fluxx | nope and don't know how to add it (if its possible) wilee-nilee | 18:38 |
| Tatuus | Fluxx, you need proprietary drivers most likely | 18:38 |
| wilee-nilee | !uefi | Rhenzar | 18:38 |
| ubottu | Rhenzar: UEFI is a specification that defines a software interface between an operating system and platform firmware, it is meant as a replacement for the BIOS. For information on how to set up and install Ubuntu and its derivatives on UEFI machines please read https://help.ubuntu.com/community/UEFI | 18:38 |
| Fluxx | Tatuus: but in the bootloader i can have that res | 18:39 |
| embrik | thought I sshould use photorec - but since the hd doesn't show.... | 18:39 |
| aliendude5300 | Rhenzar, If you have a UEFI Windows 8 machine, you will likely run into problems. If it's an older, non-UEFI system, it works fine | 18:39 |
| wilee-nilee | embrik, Can you dd it to another HD? | 18:40 |
| === pug is now known as Guest89428 | ||

| Fluxx | Tatuus: how can be solved? | 18:42 |
| embrik | It's a sata 500 gb barracuda - never epxerienced that nothing happens. Can't find it in bios nor in linux | 18:42 |
| Tatuus | Fluxx, from software sources, check the propriatary driver updates on | 18:42 |
| embrik | got to go - bye | 18:42 |
| Rhenzar | aliendude5300: Sorry, I was afk for a while :D I'm running a non-UEFI system, but the problem is that after Ubuntu boots up the first few times, refuses to load and stays on the purple screen but without a logo. | 18:45 |
| wilee-nilee | !nomodeset | Rhenzar | 18:46 |
| ubottu | Rhenzar: A common kernel (boot)parameter is nomodeset, which is needed for some graphic cards that otherwise boot into a black screen or show corrupted splash screen. See http://ubuntuforums.org/showthread.php?t=1613132 on how to use this parameter | 18:46 |

| seyfarth | Since updating to 13.04, the sidebar/taskbar/whatever doesn't react to the mouse hovering over it at all. Is this expected behavior? | 18:52 |
| withnale | hello. how do you upgrade from 13.04 beta to final? I've done apt-get update && apt-get dist-upgrade and rebooted and the kernel is still 3.8.0. I thought release was later than that. | 18:52 |
| zianya | hello, can anyone help me with this webcam? Bus 001 Device 003: ID 05ca:1839 Ricoh Co., Ltd Visual Communication Camera VGP-VCC6 [R5U870] | 18:53 |
| hachre | withnale: 3.8.0 is the final, if you want something newer you gotta use the mainline kernel ppa | 18:53 |
| bekks | withnale: Just run sudo apt-get update and sudo apt-get upgrade | 18:53 |
| DJones | !final | withnale | 18:53 |
| ubottu | withnale: If you install a development version of Ubuntu Raring and keep up with package updates, then you will be upgraded to the official release of 13.04 when it comes out. To make sure, type « sudo apt-get update && sudo apt-get dist-upgrade » in a terminal. | 18:53 |
| seyfarth | Also the "auto hide" functionality still doesn't work. It didn't work in 12.10 either. | 18:53 |
| SuperLag | I'm attemping to add Oracle Java to update alternatives.

| wilee-nilee | withnale, sudo apt-get dist-upgrade is the only additional command I have 3,8.0-19 | 18:53 |
| hachre | seyfarth: if you hover over an icon it should show its name | 18:54 |
| hachre | seyfarth: if you have autohiding on you need to overcome a resistance now by moving the mouse further into the edge to make it show | 18:55 |
| seyfarth | hachre: yeah. still doesn't work. even if i lower the setting to 0 in ccsm | 18:55 |
| hachre | weird | 18:55 |
| seyfarth | hachre: been broken since 12.10 | 18:55 |
| hachre | works for me | 18:55 |
| withnale | So all the reviews I've seen have said 3.8.8 kernel. That isn't enabled by default? | 18:55 |
| seyfarth | i think it's an nvidia card thing | 18:55 |
| hachre | seyfarth: you're probably the victim of some legacy setting somewhere | 18:55 |
| hachre | seyfarth: I got nvidia too | 18:55 |
| withnale | example: http://desktoplinuxreviews.com/2013/04/25/ubuntu-13-04/ | 18:55 |
| seyfarth | hachre: not sure. clean install. but it's annoying. the sidebar takes up so much space! | 18:56 |
| bekks | withnale: 3.8.0-xyz will contain 3.8.8 -- the 3.8.0 will always be there. | 18:56 |
| withnale | ah. ok | 18:56 |
| SuperLag | interesting | 18:57 |

| Philo | I don't think I've ever experienced that sort of problem with Windows, and I'm talking about as far back as Windows 3.1 | 19:19 |
| CrownWheel | The automagical wireless client overrides the static IP I set with ifconfig... | 19:19 |
| Philo | I can't even get into an environment to fix it. If I have to go back to a CLI in 2013 to resolve issues, what does that tell you? | 19:19 |
| CrownWheel | When it (predicably) can't get a DHCPed address, it gives up. | 19:19 |
| Philo | It tells me that this isn't really a modern and fully-developed operating system. | 19:19 |
| Philo | I wanted to switch from Windows 8, because I hate their GUI, but at least this terrible GUI functions as intended. | 19:20 |

| Philo | Okay, what would be the problem for a generic driver crashing on a fresh install? I have a x64 AMD processor and a GTX 260. | 19:22 |
| bekks | DWSR: Thats an issue of the nvidia driver used, not of Ubuntu itself. | 19:22 |
| zinc55 | Isn't SLI a driver thing? | 19:22 |
| bekks | Philo: There are zillions of possible reasons. | 19:22 |

| tgm4883 | Philo, if you don't get a terminal when you do that, I think you have far worse problems than a driver crashing X | 19:24 |
| Ben64 | oh yeah, nomodeset might fix it right away | 19:24 |
| Philo | And what am I investigating in the logs? | 19:24 |
| tgm4883 | It | 19:25 |
| Philo | What am I looking for? | 19:25 |
| tgm4883 | It's my experience that people that don't know what to generically look for in logs, shouldn't be looking at logs | 19:25 |
| charlton | does anyone in here know about tinyproxy? | 19:25 |
| Ben64 | you can toss them on pastebin or something, and show it here | 19:25 |
| clintonc | tgm4883: You're not being helpful. | 19:25 |
| Philo | Well, that explains everything, tgm4883. | 19:25 |
| Philo | Which would then tell me that the operating system is not user-friendly. | 19:25 |
| kronos003 | I'm currently running Fedora 18 and considering jumping ship to ubuntu or mint or something else if it's better - which should I go with? | 19:26 |
| charlton | tgm4883: Someone needs to get off their high horse. | 19:26 |
| clintonc | Philo: Installing Windows fresh is not always a walk in the park, either :) | 19:26 |
| tgm4883 | what high horse? | 19:26 |
| wilee-nilee | kronos003, What ever one you like. ;) | 19:26 |
| Ben64 | kronos003: we don't support mint here, just so you know | 19:26 |
| Philo | It was pretty automated, clintonc. | 19:26 |
| Seveas | kronos003: you're asking in #ubuntu - so you expect any other answer than "Ubuntu of course!" | 19:27 |
| Ben64 | Philo: so was installing ubuntu for me | 19:27 |
| kronos003 | Ben64: why would I want mint over ubuntu or vice versa? | 19:27 |
| Ben64 | Philo: sometimes there are issues | 19:27 |
| Seveas | !anyone | charlton | 19:27 |
| Tumlee | kronos003: That depends entirely on why you jumped ship from Fedora 18 | 19:27 |
| ubottu | charlton: A high percentage of the first questions asked in this channel start with "Does anyone/anybody..." Why not ask your next question (the real one) and find out? See also !details, !gq, and !poll. | 19:27 |
| charlton | The mate desktop, maybe? | 19:27 |
| Philo | Did you have to go into a CLI, investigate logs, and then.. Lord knows what. | 19:27 |
| Multbrelch | Bump ... anybody can help me plz? How can I see if a touchpad is available? Via lsusb? | 19:27 |
| Ben64 | Philo: at least ubuntu has that option. on windows you're just stuck | 19:27 |
| tgm4883 | clintonc, charlton if someone is told to go look at the logs, and they don't know what they are looking for. Simply telling them where the logs are is NOT helpful | 19:27 |
| clintonc | I said it's not *always* a walk in the park, and neither is installing whatever flavor of Linux. (I installed Linux last night, and it was easy-peasy) | 19:28 |
| Philo | Say I'm in the logs, what's the next step? | 19:28 |
| kronos003 | Tumlee: My big gripe is that many things I want to install are just ready to go on ubuntu, where on fedora I have to compile and pray - and often that is not enough | 19:28 |
| bekks | Philo: Read them, check them for errors. | 19:28 |
| zykotick9 | Multbrelch: it's not with lsusb, but try "egrep -i 'synap|alps|etps' /proc/bus/input/devices" | 19:28 |
| Philo | clintonc: Let's not universalize your experience. | 19:28 |
| tgm4883 | Philo, you'll want to look for "error" or "fail" and see what that line says | 19:28 |
| clintonc | tgm4883: Looking at the logs can certainly help. Which error comes about can help determine the next course of action. | 19:28 |
| Ben64 | Philo: i would say just to show the logs here, but you could look for lines with "error" in the xorg log | 19:28 |
| === zettazete is now known as ZettaZete_ | ||
| charlton | tgm4483, true, but people must look at logs to know how they work/contain. | 19:28 |
| clintonc | Philo: I'm not suggesting we universalize my experience, but let us also not universalize yours. | 19:29 |
| Tumlee | kronos003: Ubuntu is pretty much set for a lot of things. There's plenty of support and it's very rare that I've had to compile a program unless it was some development version, or a not-so-popular app | 19:29 |
| Multbrelch | zykotick9, thx for your kind help. Here the result: N: Name="ETPS/2 Elantech Touchpad" | 19:29 |
| Philo | Now is the error itself going to tell me how to correct it? | 19:29 |
| kronos003 | I've heard that mint is basically ubuntu, but with Mate (gnome2) and I think some other stuff as well | 19:29 |
| bekks | Philo: Depends on the error. | 19:29 |
| Multbrelch | so there is a touchpad ... well it worked before, so should be | 19:29 |
| charlton | Thats pretty much linux mint | 19:29 |
| tgm4883 | clintonc, charlton that is absolutly true, but there are some people that don't even know ot look for the word "error" | 19:29 |
| clintonc | Now, let's stop arguing so you can get your problem fixd :3 | 19:29 |
| Philo | So, I would need to find the error, then reboot to Windows, and look up how to correct it. | 19:29 |
| Philo | Is this correct? | 19:29 |
| clintonc | tgm4883: This is not Philo's first time running Linux. | 19:29 |
| Ben64 | Philo: so am i to understand that you have not installed the nvidia drivers? | 19:29 |
| Tumlee | Also, know that there are different DEs you can get for Ubuntu if you really want to avoid Unity. | 19:29 |
| Tumlee | I'm running Ubuntu GNOME right now | 19:30 |
| Philo | Which I assume would mean that I'd need to edit a configuration file or install a new driver. | 19:30 |
| bekks | Philo: You need to find the error and after that, we can help you to proceed. | 19:30 |
| charlton | tgm4883, well then we need to tell them how so they can learn | 19:30 |
| tgm4883 | clintonc, whether it is or not, it's pretty apparent to me that he doesn't know how to look though logs | 19:30 |
| Philo | Ben64: Hell, Ubuntu never gave me the opportunity. | 19:30 |
| Ben64 | tgm4883: just stop if you're not going to help | 19:30 |
| kronos003 | Right now I'm using XFCE and I also do a lot of windows type stuff in qemu-kvm and manage that with lib virt | 19:30 |
| Ben64 | Philo: ok, so the first thing i would suggest to you is nomodeset | 19:30 |
| Ben64 | !nomodeset | Philo | 19:30 |
| ubottu | Philo: A common kernel (boot)parameter is nomodeset, which is needed for some graphic cards that otherwise boot into a black screen or show corrupted splash screen. See http://ubuntuforums.org/showthread.php?t=1613132 on how to use this parameter | 19:30 |
| tgm4883 | charlton, exactly, which is not what was happening at all. Everyone was just saying "look at the logs in /var/log/" not even saying which file to look in | 19:30 |
| kronos003 | is there anything on fedora I wont have on ubuntu? | 19:30 |
| clintonc | Philo: I've had experiences where the generic drivers have crashed, and the only resolution that I could find was to install the NVidia drivers. | 19:30 |
| tgm4883 | Ben64, I'm helping far more that you can even realize | 19:30 |
| Tumlee | kronos003: There is a xubuntu, which from what I understand is pretty up to date on XFCE | 19:31 |
| ZettaZete_ | Does anybody have any experience with Radeon HD 7690M? When I install the fglrx drivers, when I restart my computer. Unity stops working, or my computer is forced into low-graphics mode. | 19:31 |
| Tatuus | what's with this "jailbird" -guy... he quit, but before that sent rude pm's, n -words and all, cheez | 19:31 |
| Tumlee | I've never tried it before though. | 19:31 |
| meerkat | I need help fixing my DNS. I can't reach any websites. | 19:31 |
| Ben64 | tgm4883: no, the word to describe your actions is "arguing" | 19:31 |
| charlton | tgm4883, well then, why didnt you, seeing that others were not helping enough, step in? | 19:31 |
| === mak0r620 is now known as makoto | ||
| Philo | Okay, I will try the nomodeset later. | 19:31 |
| tgm4883 | charlton, I did | 19:31 |
| Philo | Thank you for your time. | 19:31 |
| === Philo is now known as Philoaway | ||
| kronos003 | looks like I'm running XFCE 4.10 | 19:31 |
| charlton | t4883, did that fix the problem? | 19:31 |
| prjkt | hi, I'm confused . I'm following a vpn tutorial and it says to run "service iptables restart" but it says "iptables: unrecognized service." However doing apt-get install iptables says it's already instlaled. so where am I going wrong? | 19:32 |
| away | meerkat, but IPs work? | 19:32 |
| Tumlee | Yup. If you like XFCE, then I'd recommend xubuntu if you're planning to choose ubuntu | 19:32 |
| meerkat | away, yes | 19:32 |
| Ben64 | prjkt: iptables isn't a "service" | 19:32 |
| prjkt | I'm following this verbatim: http://holgr.com/blog/2009/06/setting-up-openvpn-on-amazons-ec2/ | 19:32 |
| tgm4883 | charlton, which problem. the part where he didn't know what to look for? Or the part where most here don't know how to help for a problem that is more than skin deep? | 19:32 |
| away | meerkat, back up /etc/resolv.conf and then edit it | 19:33 |
| prjkt | it says "Reload the firewall and make it start on boot by entering: service iptables restart | 19:33 |
| Ben64 | prjkt: thats for fedora | 19:33 |
| kronos003 | In your experience how helpful is the channel when trying to fix issues on your machine? I've found the fedora channel to lately be less tahn helpful - seems like I have a knack for asking questions noone can answer | 19:33 |
| prjkt | Ben64, okay so how can I adjust for ubuntu please | 19:33 |
| Ben64 | prjkt: dunno | 19:33 |
| zykotick9 | meerkat: fyi, changing resolv.conf isn't gonna remain after a restart... very temporary solution | 19:33 |
| Multbrelch | where is the log file that may tell me that there is an issue with the touchpad? | 19:33 |
| prjkt | there is also no directory /etc/sysconfig which is mentioned | 19:33 |
| prjkt | Ben64, I'm confused, why would iptables be so different under fedora and ubuntu? | 19:34 |
| prjkt | i.e. a service or not-a-service | 19:34 |
| charlton | tgm4883, the looking for the correct log part. Can we quit arguing now? if this channel rustles your jimmies _THAT_ much, you should leave. many people recieve help here, and many people learn to give help. | 19:34 |
| Ben64 | prjkt: plus, that guide is almost 4 years old, you might want to find something more recent | 19:34 |
| CrownWheel | Multbrelch, try: xinput list | 19:34 |
| away | prjkt, have you looked at https://help.ubuntu.com/community/IptablesHowTo | 19:34 |
| meerkat | away, zykotick9 my resolv.conf file is pretty much empty. Just one commented line in there. | 19:34 |
| zykotick9 | Multbrelch: check Xorg's log /var/log/Xorg.0.log (especially for any EE lines) | 19:34 |
| kronos003 | fedora is trying to make the move to firewalld - from what i gather its a different beast than the iptables we are used to | 19:34 |
| Multbrelch | CrownWheel, zykotick9 ... thx, mom | 19:35 |
| CrownWheel | Multbrelch, if I understand correctly, that'll show you what input devices X is actually aware of. Which may or may NOT include the touchpad... | 19:35 |
| tgm4883 | charlton, personally, I think this channel is slightly better than the scripted you help when calling consumer level support | 19:35 |
| away | you could use google's nameservers | 19:35 |
| Ben64 | tgm4883: then leave? | 19:35 |
| away | add a line "nameserver 8.8.4.4" | 19:35 |
| zykotick9 | meerkat: i'd guess that would be normal in ubuntu, since resolv.conf is deprecated. i have no idea what your issue is - just wanted to give you details on the advice away was giving you. best of luck. | 19:35 |
| tgm4883 | charlton, I'm not entirely sure why you insist that me giving pointers to people in an attempt to help them give better support is a problem | 19:35 |
| Multbrelch | CrownWheel, k ... well the touchpad doesn't seem to be listed | 19:35 |
| tgm4883 | Ben64, you too^ | 19:35 |
| charlton | I have a question about proxy servers, and i am debating whether to use squid or tinyproxy. any suggestions? | 19:36 |
| x2 | Hello, everyone. I've got an ASUS laptop with quite a strange touchpad - both its left and and right buttons are a part of touchpad. So, when I hold a finger on my left touchpad button and try to move the mouse pointer, it doesn't move, it's trying to scroll. I have tried setting synclient AreaBottomEdge=1500, but that still blocks mouse pointer when I hold my finger on touchpad button. Anybody had such | 19:36 |
| x2 | problems? It's probably not a software problem, because I can move mouse pointer when holding button down. I've googled this problem but met nothing except people complaining the same problem. Maybe one of you had such problems? | 19:36 |
| charlton | tgm4883, never said it was. | 19:36 |
| tgm4883 | charlton, that's funny, since I've been attacked since the moment I said anything in this channel | 19:36 |
| beboj | is therer any little how-to about adding network printer via cli? | 19:37 |
| meerkat | away, I added google's DNS there. I can now connect to sites. Thank you. | 19:37 |
| CrownWheel | Multbrelch, well the list is a bit cryptic. I completely missed my "ETPS/2 Elantech" the first time I looked at mine. And secondly...that tells us that the touchpad is failing at a lower level than X. | 19:37 |
| Multbrelch | zykotick9 and CrownWheel , look here: http://www.pasteall.org/41792 | 19:38 |
| charlton | tgm4883, the channel is, and your continued complaining is getting on my nerves. i wasnt here when you first got on the channel, and if you stop arguing and focus on giving help, that would benefit everyone. | 19:38 |
| Multbrelch | more /var/log/Xorg.0.log | grep EE | 19:38 |
| * tgm4883 rolls eyes | 19:38 | |
| CrownWheel | speaking of help, does anyone know how to connect to a wireless network with a static IP address? | 19:38 |
| charlton | crownwheel, is your router configured to use one? | 19:39 |
| CrownWheel | Ubuntu's (sorry, Xubuntu's) built-in wireless client overrides my ifconfig-specified IP address and tries to use DHCP. | 19:39 |
| CrownWheel | charlton, yes. | 19:39 |
| * wilee-nilee ignores the irritants | 19:39 | |
| Multbrelch | CrownWheel, I'm sorry "xinput list" outputs ETPS/2 Elantech Touchpad <= so the touchpad is there | 19:39 |
| CrownWheel | its settings aren't in /etc/network/interfaces. | 19:39 |
| tgm4883 | CrownWheel, doesn't xubuntu use network manager? | 19:39 |
| zykotick9 | Multbrelch: i missed the actual problem you are having (but i has a suspition that it was working and either updates or 'you updating to a new ubuntu' caused this?) | 19:40 |
| planet1 | Evening | 19:40 |
| Multbrelch | so the touchpad worked and then something happend (I don't know anymore, update may be), and now it doesn't work anymore | 19:40 |
| kronos003 | does ubuntu have libvirt and kvm? | 19:40 |
| Multbrelch | OS: 12.04, 64 Bit | 19:40 |
| x2 | Well, maybe anyone had problem that mouse doesn't move when there are two fingers on touchpad? | 19:41 |
| Multbrelch | zykotick9, ^ | 19:41 |
| x2 | I don't want any two-finger gestures, I want touchpad to interpret everything as one finger. | 19:41 |
| charlton | x2, why not just use one finger then? | 19:42 |
| Multbrelch | zykotick9, CrownWheel thx for help, need to go, cheers | 19:42 |
| x2 | charlton: I usually aim with one finger and keep another on button ready to click. | 19:42 |
| CrownWheel | tgm4883, I don't know what the utility is called. it's "panel" plugin doesn't give its name. Does Ubuntu use a different utility? | 19:42 |
| bluebomber | In Files in 13.04, typing produces different behavior than in 12.10; it now seems to execute a recursive search. Is there a way to revert the behavior so that it tries to match what I type as a prefix to a file/directory in the current directory? | 19:42 |
| charlton | x2, i see. | 19:42 |
| planet1 | What's the easiest way to upgrade from 12.10 Ubuntu to 13.04 Ubuntu STUDIO ? | 19:43 |
| prjkt | okay thanks for the help guys | 19:43 |
| x2 | charlton: My touchpad buttons are also sensible, so when I click, my mouse moves and I have to aim once again. | 19:43 |
| tgm4883 | CrownWheel, no, Ubuntu uses network-manager as well. So if you want to use a static IP with wireless, you need to set the static IP in network manager, not ifconfig | 19:43 |
| prjkt | i found http://docs.openvpn.net/how-to-tutorialsguides/virtual-platforms/amazon-ec2-appliance-ami-quick-start-guide/ right on the openvpn site i will follow that instead | 19:43 |
| x2 | That's why that feature kills me. | 19:43 |
| zykotick9 | Multbrelch: do you currently have a /etc/X11/xorg.conf file? do you use nvidia or ati which require one? can you paste your /var/log/Xorg.0.log file. | 19:43 |
| Morph4me | Crownwheel : from the taskbar network manager "edit connection " then "add" then from the drop down menu and look for "wifi" .click create ....then the ipv4 or 6 and method to manual at least that is how it is in ubuntu 13.04 | 19:43 |
| charlton | planet1, do sudo apt-get dist-upgrade and sudo apt-get install ubuntustudio-desktop | 19:43 |
| planet1 | charlton: ok thanks thats the web-installation method, how about upgrading from a DVD ? Is a live upgrade still supported / possible ? | 19:44 |
| zykotick9 | planet1: fyi, charlton is wrong, dist-upgrade does NOT upgrade to new releases!!! | 19:45 |
| tgm4883 | charlton, 'sudo apt-get dist-upgrade' won't upgrade him to 13.04 | 19:45 |
| charlton | planet1, im not sure, as i dont use ubuntu studio. i would recommend the web method, as that is easiest and you keep all of your stuff | 19:45 |
| zykotick9 | !dist-upgrade | 19:45 |
| ubottu | A dist-upgrade will install new dependencies for packages already installed and may remove packages if they are no longer needed. This will not bring you to a new release of Ubuntu, see !upgrade if that is your intention. | 19:45 |
| Nothing_Much | isn't it 'do-release-upgrade'? | 19:45 |
| mzaza | Is the Ubuntu 13.04 supposed to run faster than Ubuntu 12.04 LTS? | 19:46 |
| charlton | planet1, tgm4883 then do sudo do-dist-upgrade -d | 19:46 |
| nottapro | Is it possible to run ubuntu as my main OS without a hard drive? I have some USB thumbdrives laying about to save data on | 19:46 |
| charlton | mzaza, yes, because of Unity 7 | 19:46 |
| CrownWheel | tgm4883, Morph4me, thanks. | 19:46 |
| zykotick9 | planet1: fyi charlton is probably wrong again. -d means development release. | 19:46 |
| nottapro | My hard drive recently signed off permanently and I can't afford a new one so I'm looking into alternative methods of having a useable desktop | 19:46 |
| Morph4me | yw | 19:47 |
| matias2 | Hi, after upgrade to 13.04, my unity menu doesn't show up anymore. I already tried `unity reset-icons` and `dconf reset -f /org/compiz`, other users work (guest, new user) | 19:47 |
| tgm4883 | charlton, it's 'do-release-upgrade', and you don't need the '-d' option unless you want to upgrade to the development version | 19:47 |
| CrownWheel | nottapro, yes - but... | 19:47 |
| nottapro | I am running from a Live CD of ubunut right now | 19:47 |
| charlton | zycotick9, tmc4883, planet1 Sorry, i did mine when it was still in development *smacks face* | 19:47 |
| bagelong | After upgrade from 12.10 to 13.04 I can no longer connect to wifi | 19:47 |
| zykotick9 | tgm4883: thanks for backing me up both times ;) | 19:47 |
| mzaza | charlton: When would I expect updates to fix slow nautilus and slow startup, because I had Ubuntu 13.04 for 3 days now and it's buggy and no updates go released yet. | 19:47 |
| CrownWheel | Here's experience I had running Xubuntu from Live flash drives with persistence. | 19:48 |
| zykotick9 | !tab > charlton | 19:48 |
| ubottu | charlton, please see my private message | 19:48 |
| tgm4883 | zykotick9, yw | 19:48 |
| charlton | mzaza, im not sure. what are your hardware specs? | 19:48 |
| CrownWheel | Due to the way the persistence file's filesystem is created (which I don't fully understand), it doesn't get fsck-ed ... ever. | 19:48 |
| nottapro | CrownWheel: If I had a hard drive, I'd definitely just use that. Unfortunately, given my current circumstances... It's impossible | 19:48 |
| planet1 | So can I go directly from 12.10 to 13.04 STUDIO or do I have to do 12.10 -> 13.04 -> 13.04 STUDIO ? | 19:48 |
| CrownWheel | So, after about a dozen boot cycles, it self-destructs in a flurry of bad-inode messages. | 19:48 |
| tgm4883 | mzaza, Unity is suppose to be faster, due to not needing as many resources. That doesn't have anything to do with startup time, and probably not nautilus either | 19:49 |
| iceroot | planet1: 12.04 - 12.10 - 13.04 | 19:49 |
| CrownWheel | You can get around this if you boot another Linux system (eg. from another Flash drive) and manually fsck the "casper" file. | 19:49 |
| CrownWheel | Also, you can't upgrade the Kernel in a Live flash install. | 19:49 |
| nottapro | CrownWheel: sounds a bit advanced for my current level of knowledge and experience with linux in general | 19:49 |
| CrownWheel | That doesn't seem to be documented anywhere. And the updater is unaware of it, so it'll waste a HUGE amount of time trying and failing. | 19:49 |
| matias2 | Hi, after upgrade to 13.04, my unity menu doesn't show up anymore. I already tried `unity reset-icons` and `dconf reset -f /org/compiz`, other users work (guest, new user) | 19:49 |

| mzaza | charlton: Sony Vaio S, i5 (2.5 GHz upt to 3.0) processor 3rd generation with 3 MB cache. 4GB RAM, 5400rpm harddisk | 19:49 |
| planet1 | iceroot: the starting point would be 12.04 and the aim would be STUDIO (13.04) | 19:50 |
| zykotick9 | planet1: it ubuntu-studio is some metapackage (i don't know what it's really called, or if it even exists), then it really doesn't matter when you install it. i'd suggest after you upgrade to the new release though (expect issues with that) - best of luck! | 19:50 |
| CrownWheel | nottapro, yeah...for me too. I just figured you should know what you're getting into. | 19:50 |
| wilee-nilee | CrownWheel, You can make a casper-rw partition as big as you need and have space for. | 19:50 |
| tgm4883 | planet1, do you have a separate /home partition? | 19:50 |
| CrownWheel | wilee-nilee, it's not a matter of running out of space. It simply didn't survive very long. | 19:50 |
| iceroot | planet1: you have to do through every release. only from an lts to an lts is supported, so 10.04 -> 12.04 -> 14.04 everything between needs to hit every releae for upgrading | 19:50 |
| nottapro | CrownWheel: I just need a system that I can use. The computer is my only means of communication with relatives. So I'm kind of desperate here | 19:50 |
| charlton | mzaza, Hmmm, im not sure. i have a crap MSI L1350 with 1GB RAM and an intel atom and it boots in less than 10 seconds. | 19:51 |
| mzaza | tgm4883: Since I upgraded from 12.10 to 13.04 and I am experincing very slow nautilus when it starts it takes up to 6 seconds to respond to my click while opening folder and it takes about 3 seconds after I click the x button to close the nautilus to get closed. | 19:51 |
| wilee-nilee | CrownWheel, I have only seen it fill up, its not cleanable. | 19:51 |
| zykotick9 | iceroot: planet1 is only upgrading 1 release - they just think the ubuntu-studio is another... | 19:51 |
| mzaza | charlton: And nautilus is very slow, I could upload a video on youtube to show you how long it takes to respond to my clicks | 19:51 |
| bagelong | Anyone know of a solution to the broadcom wireless issues following upgrade to 13.04? | 19:52 |
| CrownWheel | wilee-nilee, and I've seen the persistence file in several Live Flash installs self destruct with plenty of free space remaining. Like I say, fsck-ing from another machine on a regular basis keeps them going. | 19:52 |
| CrownWheel | nottapro, if you have 2 Flash drives, use one for file storage and boot off the other. | 19:52 |
| charlton | mzaza, i honestly dont know what to say. what is your resource usage during normal use? | 19:52 |
| nottapro | CrownWheel: How often must I do that? | 19:52 |
| planet1 | in 12.10 this Boot-Upgrade (REALLY HATE THAT) was indroduced as a replacement for the ALTERNATE distribution | 19:52 |
| nottapro | CrownWheel: the only problem with booting off a usb is I don't think my motherboard supports it, or atleast I'm not aware of it | 19:52 |
| CrownWheel | The Live distros work great. Just not as stand-alone long term solutions. Or boot from a CD for that matter, where it won't be an issue at all. | 19:52 |
| planet1 | what has 13.04 to offer in this regard ? | 19:52 |
| mzaza | charlton: I use vim, g++, chromium and sometimes monodevelop. I don't do much. Any the nautlius lag even happens if I have anything closed. | 19:53 |
| zykotick9 | CrownWheel: i've had nothing but "issues" when i tried using persistance with USB drives. now, i don't bother, and just install onto the usb drive - no good if you want to install from it though :( | 19:53 |
| bagelong | Wifi, anyone? anyone? anyone? | 19:54 |
| charlton | mzaza, Im not sure what it is. is it like this if you boot from a livecd, for example? im sure its not your hardware, but its worht a look | 19:54 |

| nottapro | How do I check my ram usage in ubuntu? | 19:55 |
| charlton | nottapro, try top | 19:55 |
| mzaza | charlton: Haven't tried live cd since I upgraded from 12.10. But in 12.10 it worked just fine. | 19:55 |
| nottapro | haha, I guess the right question is how do I open a terminal in ubunut | 19:55 |
| matias2 | nottapro, Either with free (-m), or with system monitor | 19:55 |
| charlton | mzaza, im not sure what to tell you, friend, but i wish you the best of luck. | 19:55 |
| charlton | nottapro, try ctrl+alt+t | 19:56 |
| nottapro | charlton: thank you! | 19:56 |
| bagelong | @ubottu, there is a new bug with the upgrade to 13.04, for which I have not found a solution to yet | 19:56 |
| charlton | nottapro, or do what matias2 says | 19:56 |
| zykotick9 | nottapro: from cli, using "free" is the base option, then top (i'd strongly recommend htop) are the curses methods of choice. but read and understand http://www.linuxatemyram.com/ before you freak out about high mem usage ;) good luck. | 19:56 |

| newbe | hey guys i need help ubunut is not iinstalling on my computer | 19:57 |

| Quest | charlton, yes, and also installing programs | 19:58 |
| Quest | charlton, yes, and also installing programs on each client | 19:58 |
| bagelong | Can you run from a live CD | 19:58 |
| newbe | yes | 19:58 |
| newbe | works fine | 19:58 |
| charlton | Quest, do you want to do that on the client or remotely? | 19:58 |
| Quest | charlton, correct | 19:59 |
| MonkeyDust | newbe you see a binking cursor, top left? | 19:59 |
| newbe | in the middle of the install it frezzes | 19:59 |

| newbe | i tryed to install 12.04 | 19:59 |
| newbe | will not compleat | 19:59 |
| nottapro | CrownWheel: What did you say I needed to do in order to keep the flash drives from self destructing? | 19:59 |
| newbe | tryed 11.04 goes to a pink screen and spining wheel | 20:00 |
| charlton | Quest, do sudo apt-get install samba and edit the configuration file to suit your needs | 20:00 |
| zykotick9 | nottapro: i "believe" CrownWheel suggested fsck the persistant partition from another box. | 20:00 |
| charlton | Quest, also, in the config file, change workgroup = WORKGROUP to the name of the workgroup the clients computers are in | 20:01 |
| newbe | any ideas | 20:01 |
| nottapro | Zykotick9: okay. That may be a problem. I don't have any other computer but this one | 20:01 |

| cristina | hello ...wanna make a boot`able usb with xp .. | 20:01 |
| Psycholiquid71 | I am having an issue trying to mount an nsf share through fstab and two things are happening, one it wont auto mount I assume it is because the network isnt quiet up yet, but mount -a works, and two I am getting an error on reboot "mountall: disconnected from Plymouth any ideas guys and gals, using 12.04.2 server, terminal only | 20:01 |
| cristina | i use lubunto .. | 20:01 |
| cristina | how do i do it? | 20:01 |
| newbe | trying it on a compact persario | 20:01 |
| charlton | christina, use the Universal USB installer by pendrivelinux | 20:01 |
| newbe | amd chip xp3200 | 20:01 |
| CrownWheel | zykotick9, nottapro, yeah. Like I say, if you have TWO flash drives, you can boot one then the other, and fsck each other. But ... what a pain. | 20:01 |
| zykotick9 | !tab | nottapro you don't have to type Z-y-k-o-t-i-c-k-9 to highlight me ;) | 20:01 |
| ubottu | nottapro you don't have to type Z-y-k-o-t-i-c-k-9 to highlight me ;): You can use your <tab> key for autocompletion of nicknames in IRC, as well as for completion of filenames and programs on the command line. | 20:01 |
| charlton | cristina, use the Universal USB installer by pendrivelinux | 20:01 |
| newbe | 1gb ram and 160gb drive | 20:01 |
| Quest | charlton, samba will only give me file sharing. not the ability to install apps remotely on clients | 20:02 |
| nottapro | Zyko: I'm using the freenode webclient | 20:02 |
| CrownWheel | apparently the Live install on USB was simply not designed for long term use. Anyway, it certainly wasn't tested for long-term survivability... | 20:02 |
| nottapro | I dont know how it works with highlights | 20:02 |
| zykotick9 | nottapro: sorry. that sucks ;) | 20:02 |
| CrownWheel | So, I'm gonna' re-iterate my recommendation: boot from CD, plug in a regular, non-bootable USB drive for storage. | 20:03 |
| charlton | Quest, im afraid im not sure how to do that with linux, but you could always create a network share to make it easy for the clients do do it, perhaps. | 20:03 |
| nottapro | zykotick9: indeed! | 20:03 |
| nottapro | ubuntu is really nice. I haven't used it in a very, very long time. I had a debian install on my laptop before it nuked itself | 20:03 |
| charlton | Quest, if this was an all-ubuntu system, you could easily do it with Landscapr | 20:03 |
| cristina | charlton, | 20:03 |
| cristina | don`t find it | 20:04 |
| newbe | any ideas why its not installing right | 20:04 |
| charlton | cristina, yes? | 20:04 |

| elo19 | bennypr0fane: dont understand what you mean? | 20:15 |
| bennypr0fane | elo19 you need to give as more information, or better, all the information you have pertaining to your problem | 20:15 |
| mzaza | CrownWheel: Just to install, to do what you're talking about you'll have to backup a windows xp installation and convert it to iso then burn in it, as far as i knkow | 20:15 |
| zykotick9 | Psycholiquid71: looks like fog was last updated 2011. if you want a live imaging solution, i'd suggest you check out http://clonezilla.org/ for sure. | 20:15 |
| Psycholiquid71 | http://pastebin.com/xbv5iCab | 20:16 |
| bennypr0fane | elo19 you could start by naming your distro version, your laptop model, which desktop environment you use, etc. etc. | 20:16 |

| wushu | thx | 20:27 |
| dividebyzer0 | yessir | 20:27 |
| bennypr0fane | because: https://help.ubuntu.com/community/Fstab#Options says: "auto - The filesystem can be mounted automatically (at bootup, or when mount is passed the -a option). This is really unnecessary as this is the default action of mount -a anyway. " | 20:27 |
| theadmin | jamesaepp: No, you should put it in fstab then | 20:27 |
| voyage | why my friend has been banned for asking a simple question (no warnings given to him either). question was. 1. can I install applications on windows clients with a linux server (to all clients at once with a single instruction), just in a way that active directory and domain control system does by the aid of a windows server? if not (most probably) are there any work arounds? 2. how to do all that if the clients and server are both | 20:27 |

| xub69 | cristina: it can do many things, afaik it's mainly for copying or reading data, I normally try something like dd if=/path/to/win.iso of=/dev/sdx conv=noerror,notrunc ; # where sdx is your usb. there is a forum post going into more detail: http://www.linuxquestions.org/questions/linux-newbie-8/learn-the-dd-command-362506/ | 20:28 |

| jamesaepp | fstab has never worked for me in any distro/combination/guide used. Is there a GUI that does these mounts for me? I'm sick and tired of taking hours getting nowhere where in Windows it is literally tools-map - DONE | 20:28 |
| bennypr0fane | elo19 well someone might give you a hint once if you provide some basic info (last time I'm mentioning this) | 20:28 |
| wilee-nilee | elo19, It is not that I don't want to help, but I do not have an answer, and yes this is canonical released ubuntu support only. | 20:28 |
| Psycholiquid71 | bennypr0fane: no dice | 20:29 |
| bennypr0fane | Psycholiquid71, does that mean "not working"? if so, :-( | 20:29 |
| Psycholiquid71 | jamesaepp: I would love to do the interface but I am trying to minimize the machine and use terminal only to do all this | 20:29 |
| Psycholiquid71 | bennypr0fane: yeah doesnt work but the mount -a mounts it no problem as ussual | 20:30 |
| elo19 | bennypr0fane: i gave you info you asked for i think.... you said driver problem.... but i dont know how to proceed..... | 20:30 |
| jamesaepp | oh, CLIs. Nice, but if you're running a server -- most likely you'll have the hardware to run a GUI anyways. That is my philosophy | 20:30 |
| Psycholiquid71 | I was thinking of running a csript to run mount -a after it is up and running but I really dont know where or how to do this | 20:30 |

| elo19 | wilee-nilee: ok but so your primary goal is not "altruistic help to other human beings"..... my bad.... i didnt think "interests" were a big thing here..... i realize i understood things wrong.... i thought that because the word "ubuntu" is closely related to "altruism"...... but here you use the word not in the zulu sense i guess...... | 20:39 |
| talk2me12 | helo | 20:39 |
| benzrf | hello! I'm in a bit of a pickle! | 20:40 |
| talk2me12 | what is the difference between ubuntu and Xubuntu | 20:40 |
| bennypr0fane | elo19 you may be just about correct there | 20:40 |
| benzrf | talk2me12: the default desktop environment | 20:40 |
| benzrf | ok, so I was upgrading my mother's windows laptop | 20:40 |
| bennypr0fane | talk2me12, they use different desktop enviromemnts | 20:40 |
| theadmin | talk2me12: Xubuntu uses Xfce as the desktop. Xfce feels somewhat like the classic Ubuntu (pre-11.04), and is also more suitable for older hardware. | 20:40 |
| benzrf | It was already partitioned into a C drive, mostly full, and a D drive, mostly empty. | 20:40 |
| BlueEagle | !enter | benzrf | 20:40 |
| ubottu | benzrf: Please try to keep your questions/responses on one line. Don't use the "Enter" key as punctuation! | 20:40 |
| wizard_A | is there no other way other than hostpad to make ad-hoc(with internet sharing) visible to android devices?? | 20:40 |
| BlueEagle | and !ot for that matter. | 20:41 |
| theadmin | wizard_A: Android doesn't support ad-hoc wi-fi networks :/ Blame Google for that. | 20:41 |
| benzrf | When installing Ubuntu, I partitioned the D drive (which was only a partition in one physical HD) into one small partition to hold the existing files there, and a new large one to hold Ubuntu. | 20:41 |
| MiniD | actually I'm not too worried considering its a file for a mac lol :/ | 20:42 |
| mzaza | xub69: When I try fdisk /dev/sda1 -l I get this erro Disk /dev/sda5 doesn't contain a valid partition table | 20:42 |
| benzrf | This worked fine and Ubuntu ran well. I then tried booting into Windows, installed on the 'C drive' partition. Windows did not boot properly and just returned to POST in a loop. I then tried booting into Ubuntu, only to discover that it didn't work either. | 20:42 |
| mzaza | xub69: Does that mean anything? | 20:42 |
| benzrf | The ubuntu loading screen showed up, but after it vanished I only got a black screen while the fan whirred. | 20:43 |
| theadmin | mzaza: /dev/sda1 isn't a disk, it's a partition. You want "sudo fdisk -l /dev/sda" | 20:43 |
| bennypr0fane | elo19 however, it's unreasonable to expect the grocery store to sell you a couch, or wahtever. if you go ask for help at the wrong place, you're just less likely to get it, that#s how it works | 20:43 |
| Psycholiquid71 | benzrf: sounds like you need grub | 20:43 |
| mzaza | theadmin: How can i view the whole partition layout? | 20:43 |
| wizard_A | that means i've to use hostpad, but will that be that stable a connection for other laptops in my network?? | 20:43 |
| benzrf | My theory is that Windows failed to boot since I'd altered the partitions and it expected them to be a different size, but while trying to boot it messed with the FS enough to break Ubuntu. | 20:43 |
| theadmin | mzaza: sudo fdisk -l, or sudo parted -l for saner information | 20:43 |
| benzrf | Psycholiquid71: I had grub, but after attempting to start the windows recovery tool, grub started complaining about an invalid fs, or something | 20:44 |
| benzrf | although I did not actually run the recovery | 20:44 |
| Psycholiquid71 | windows recovery tool would try and fix the MBR which in turn would destroy grub I believe | 20:44 |
| bennypr0fane | benzrf that sounds to me like something went wrong during the repartitioning | 20:45 |
| mzaza | theadmin: This is the URL of the problem "http://askubuntu.com/questions/287491/ubuntu-13-04-after-upgrade-from-12-10-upgrade" and this is the partition layout "http://pastebin.com/knrkYvnv" Why do this problem exist :D ? | 20:45 |
| bennypr0fane | benzrf what Psycholiquid71 said | 20:45 |
| benzrf | well, ubuntu booted fine before I attempted to boot windowas | 20:45 |
| benzrf | *windows | 20:45 |
| bennypr0fane | what did you use fir repartiotioning | 20:45 |
| benzrf | the ubuntu installer | 20:45 |
| bennypr0fane | *for | 20:45 |
| bennypr0fane | so the ubuntu gparted app | 20:46 |
| benzrf | I guess | 20:46 |
| bennypr0fane | post the output of fdisk -l | 20:46 |
| theadmin | mzaza: Nope | 20:46 |
| Psycholiquid71 | benzrf: I assume you used the graphical interface | 20:46 |
| benzrf | yes | 20:46 |
| benzrf | bennypr0fane: when booting from the install disk | 20:47 |
| benzrf | ? | 20:47 |
| Psycholiquid71 | bennypr0fane: it probably auto partitioned on him | 20:47 |
| mzaza | theadmin: ok, thanks | 20:47 |
| benzrf | Psycholiquid71: no, I did it manually | 20:47 |

| Psycholiquid71 | ahhh | 20:47 |
| benzrf | I started with a ~100GB c-drive partition and a ~350GB d-drive partition | 20:47 |
| sense | I upgraded my mother's laptop from 12.04 to 13.04. Previously I had to manually compile the rt539sta driver for her Asus K73S laptop, but on 12.10 and 13.04, although I can still get it to compile, it causes the laptop to have a regular kernel panics. Is there anyone who knows more about getting Ralink chips to work like this in Raring? | 20:47 |
| mzaza | theadmin: i will suicide | 20:47 |
| elo19 | bennypr0fane: i tried going to the right place but still waiting for an answer.... there are very few people (community is much smaller than ubuntu).... | 20:47 |
| benzrf | c-drive was mostly full, I left it alone. d-drive was mostly empty, I resized it to about the size of the used space in it, then created a new partition from the resulting free space | 20:48 |
| benzrf | I then installed ubuntu in the new partition | 20:48 |

| benzrf | well, windows booted from the C partition, and I didn't touch it | 20:50 |
| benzrf | | | 20:50 |
| bennypr0fane | Psycholiquid71, but ubuntu installer should put grub on the mbr, and grub should handle windows booting just fine, right? | 20:50 |
| onewanman | Hello Everyone any one having Flash Player crash Firefox 21.0 Ubuntu 13.04 ?? | 20:50 |

| bennypr0fane | benzrf you have just that one harddisc, right? | 20:51 |

| Morph4me | correct | 20:52 |
| benzrf | hold on | 20:52 |
| benzrf | grub sez: 'error: unknown filesystem' | 20:53 |
| chop1n | if you need to reinstall grub there is a way | 20:53 |
| benzrf | this began after booting into the windows restore utility but not using it | 20:53 |
| benzrf | I can currently only use the computer when booting from the install disk | 20:53 |
| bennypr0fane | elo19 the lacking support is very often a problem with the smaller distros. In fact, one good reason for me to leave some alone. Try a non distro specific forum like linuxquestions.org. Google for linux support, there's tons of them out there | 20:53 |

| benzrf | I'm at the grub rescue prompt | 20:54 |
| bennypr0fane | benzrf is that error msg when trying to boot Ubuntu or Win? | 20:54 |
| benzrf | at grub | 20:54 |
| benzrf | when I press the power button | 20:54 |
| benzrf | one moment, booting from the install disc | 20:55 |
| bennypr0fane | reinstall grub is my best bet | 20:55 |
| benzrf | even before grub messed up, I couldn't use either ubuntu or windows | 20:55 |
| benzrf | let me recap: | 20:55 |
| benzrf | 1. installed ubuntu, doing repartition | 20:55 |
| benzrf | 2. could boot ubuntu fine | 20:55 |
| benzrf | 3. attempted to boot into windows, returned to post in a loop | 20:55 |
| benzrf | 4. attempted to boot into ubuntu, reached black screen after ubuntu loading screen disappeared | 20:56 |
| benzrf | black screen did not subside, had to hard reset. | 20:56 |
| benzrf | retried several times | 20:56 |
| benzrf | 5. booted into windows restore utility but did not use | 20:56 |
| benzrf | 6. afterward, grub does not start, complains about unknown fs | 20:56 |
| benzrf | can currently boot from install disk | 20:57 |
| Psycholiquid71 | benzrf: I think this is your issue but read carefully because every case is different: http://ubuntuforums.org/showthread.php?t=1822023 | 20:57 |
| benzrf | looking | 20:57 |
| benzrf | this seems different :| | 20:57 |
| bennypr0fane | benzrf I would boot the live disc and do grub-install https://www.gnu.org/software/grub/manual/html_node/Installing-GRUB-using-grub_002dinstall.html | 20:58 |
| benzrf | wait | 20:58 |
| benzrf | why would trying to boot windows break my ubuntu install? | 20:58 |
| benzrf | windows was previously installed | 20:58 |
| benzrf | I did not touch its partition | 20:58 |
| benzrf | windows refused to boot | 20:58 |
| benzrf | afterward, broken ubuntu | 20:58 |
| bennypr0fane | benzrf it doesn't n make sense really | 20:58 |
| bennypr0fane | but that's hwo computers are | 20:59 |
| benzrf | boo hiss | 20:59 |
| Psycholiquid71 | I would do what bennypr0fane says and try reinstalling grub | 20:59 |
| benzrf | :c | 20:59 |
| bennypr0fane | how bout that fdisk -l? | 20:59 |
| Psycholiquid71 | it will at least get you up and running on Ubuntu to get your files off if needed | 20:59 |

| bennypr0fane | b14d3 more info please... | 21:16 |
| XHEART24 | HI | 21:16 |
| XHEART24 | hello | 21:16 |
| neo_user | how do i find in repositories | 21:16 |
| XHEART24 | this works? | 21:16 |
| neo_user | i tried searching in ubuntu software center | 21:17 |
| bennypr0fane | ...and? | 21:17 |
| b14d3 | bennypr0fane, What information would you like? It's a fresh install on a drive that has only ever had Ubuntu on it. Had some file system errors previously, and have since reformatted | 21:17 |
| bennypr0fane | b14d3 everyhting you've got | 21:17 |
| neo_user | and it doesnt show any options | 21:17 |
| b14d3 | That's really about it. I've booted into a USB livecd of 12.04 and after install I can't get it to go past the Loading Operating System screen. Online I've read that it seems to be that grub isn't installed, but even after manually running the install I get the same errors. | 21:19 |
| neo_user | yeats and jordanu can u elaborate ur solution | 21:19 |
| bennypr0fane | neo_user u tried different search terms? | 21:20 |
| bennypr0fane | b14d3 how did you create the live usb? | 21:20 |
| neo_user | yes i tried cisco | 21:21 |
| neo_user | cisco vpn client | 21:21 |
| neo_user | openclient | 21:21 |
| bennypr0fane | did you try just vpn? | 21:21 |
| felon | just installed 13.04 and my display is cutoff at 4:3 1024x768, monitor not detected. using nvidia 6200 | 21:21 |
| === LargePrime is now known as Guest20055 | ||
| b14d3 | I've used the USB Installer from pendrivelinux.com, with an Ubuntu 12.04 Desktop iso | 21:22 |
| bennypr0fane | you downloaded the iso yourself? checked the hash? | 21:23 |
| b14d3 | Yes I downloaded the iso myself, but have not checked the hash | 21:23 |
| benzrf | ok guys | 21:23 |
| benzrf | an update: | 21:23 |
| jailbird | Just get | 21:23 |
| jailbird | Windows just works | 21:23 |
| benzrf | fdisk is listing my ubuntu parition as 'hidden w95 fat32 (lba)' instead of ext4 (which is what I set) | 21:23 |
| benzrf | could windows have done that? | 21:24 |
| loldog | Hello | 21:24 |
| benzrf | when I tried to boot into it? | 21:24 |
| loldog | I upgraded to 13.04 | 21:24 |
| bekks | benzrf: ext4 is a filesystem, not a partition type. | 21:24 |
| benzrf | ok | 21:24 |
| benzrf | no | 21:24 |
| benzrf | it's under the 'system' column | 21:24 |
| loldog | Black unresponsive screen when I boot after 13.04. Can boot into a recovery terminal but startx yields same result | 21:24 |
| XHEART24 | i have ubuntu 12.04 how can i upgrade to 13.04 | 21:24 |
| loldog | What to do_ | 21:24 |
| bekks | benzrf: And thats the column listing the partition types. | 21:24 |
| benzrf | ok | 21:24 |
| kijutsu | Dumb question of the moment --- I have 12.10 installed on a G5 webserver.. what can i do to prevent an upgrace to 13.04 when i apt-get update && apt-get upgrade | 21:24 |
| Dr_willis | !upgrade | XHEART24 | 21:24 |
| ubottu | XHEART24: For upgrading, see the instructions at https://help.ubuntu.com/community/UpgradeNotes - see also http://www.ubuntu.com/desktop/get-ubuntu/upgrade | 21:24 |
| jailbird | Stop the pain use windows | 21:24 |
| neo_user | bennrprofane i got ciso enabled vpn , i installed it but dunno where the application is to run | 21:25 |
| neo_user | its not in dash home | 21:25 |
| benzrf | what's that type then? | 21:25 |
| Jordan_U | benzrf: It doesn't matter what fdisk thinks it is. | 21:25 |
| benzrf | jailbird: which pain? the pain of something too good? | 21:25 |
| benzrf | Jordan_U: well, why would it list it as hidden w95 fat32 if I set it to ext4? | 21:25 |
| cristian_c | an other question: | 21:25 |
| Jordan_U | neo_user: Right click on the network manager applet. | 21:25 |
| cristian_c | How can I switch audio from mono to stereo? | 21:26 |
| cristian_c | Any ideas? | 21:26 |
| neo_user | where is that jordan u | 21:26 |
| bennypr0fane | b14d3 Once I had that issue, I had mounted the iso to the flash drive with dd. that didn't work because that image was not bootable, so grub was missing. IIRC pendrivelinux.com has instructions fir separately adding grub, I think? mayber check that | 21:26 |
| bekks | benzrf: The type is "Linux", the type ID is 83. | 21:26 |
| jailbird | benzrf: stop kidding. Windows works. Linux is slow | 21:27 |
| benzrf | jailbird: ahahaha | 21:27 |
| Dr_willis | jailbird, please troll elsewhere | 21:27 |
| bennypr0fane | jailbird what the hell do you want? | 21:27 |
| benzrf | jailbird: I have to say you're a pretty poor troll | 21:27 |
| benzrf | you're not believable at all, sorry :c | 21:27 |
| benzrf | try concern trolling, it's usually much more effective | 21:27 |
| b14d3 | bennypr0fane, I've tried installing Grub manuallly, but it didn't work. Actually still had the exact some thing happen. I am, however, currently checking the hash to make sure that is correct. | 21:27 |
| ToAruShiroiNeko | hi | 21:27 |
| benzrf | ToAruShiroiNeko: hi | 21:27 |
| ToAruShiroiNeko | I am trying to follow http://www.hanselman.com/blog/InstallingUbuntu104LTSOnWindowsVirtualPCOnWindows7.aspx | 21:27 |
| ToAruShiroiNeko | I am failing to boot to ubuntu :( | 21:28 |
| savio | jailbird windows sucks ask any admin | 21:28 |
| jailbird | benzrf: so many problems with linux | 21:28 |
| esing | I wonder why xdotool type won't work for entering passwords in the shell. E.g. ssh test@IP;sleep 4; xdotool type mypassword; xdotool key Return | 21:28 |
| Nothing_Much | Honestly, you should upgrade to 12.04 at the least ToAruShiroiNeko | 21:28 |
| benzrf | my formerly ext4 partition is now listed as id 1c | 21:28 |
| ToAruShiroiNeko | okay | 21:28 |
| Nothing_Much | But what issues are going on? | 21:28 |
| benzrf | could windows have done that | 21:28 |
| Psycholiquid71 | please dont feed the troll | 21:28 |
| benzrf | issue is that GRUB in it won'y work | 21:28 |
| ToAruShiroiNeko | I read "segmentation fault" on my virtual drive | 21:29 |
| neo_user | jordanu? bennyproane? | 21:29 |
| Nothing_Much | On Windows Virtual PC? | 21:29 |
| ToAruShiroiNeko | yeah | 21:29 |
| ToAruShiroiNeko | my drive is fine | 21:29 |
| jailbird | benzrf: you use windows. | 21:29 |
| savio | jailbird windows need extensive patching to keep it secure | 21:29 |
| benzrf | jailbird: I try not to | 21:29 |
| Nothing_Much | Goddammit guys, jailbird is an obvious troll, ignore him | 21:29 |
| bennypr0fane | b14d3 I thikn you'll have to reinstall the whole thing anyhow. try mounting the iso (if the hash is ok) with unetbootin, which automatically makes it bootable. | 21:30 |
| Nothing_Much | Anyways, ToAruShiroiNeko, try out Virtualbox or VMWare player | 21:30 |
| ToAruShiroiNeko | I want to do it with windows virtual pc | 21:30 |
| johnjohn1011 | 13.04 works great in vmware player | 21:30 |
| kijutsu | I dont want to update to 13.04 on my webserver..how can I prevent and still maintain regular package updates? | 21:30 |
| Nothing_Much | I don't use Windows VPC so I'm not sure how to help you with that | 21:30 |
| Quest | which client is used mostly for multi ssh ? | 21:30 |
| neo_user | jordan U stil stuck with it | 21:30 |
| ToAruShiroiNeko | I am trying to install Ubuntu 12.04 LTS 32bit | 21:30 |
| jailbird | benzrf: i could load virus on linux. Your not checking. Best time to strick | 21:30 |
| b14d3 | bennypr0fane, If you'll be online for a bit, I'll try that out and let you know what happens. | 21:30 |
| Jordan_U | neo_user: Top right corner of your screen. | 21:30 |
| ToAruShiroiNeko | I have a 64bit OS though | 21:31 |
| Quest | rephrase: which app is used mostly for multi ssh and has most userbase with support? | 21:31 |
| bennypr0fane | b14d3 I dunno | 21:31 |
| sherox | hi guys i have a file with an unknown/hidden file type. is there a way the ls command can unhide this and make it viewable? | 21:31 |
| Nothing_Much | It's alright then, if you run 64, you can still have a 32 bit guest | 21:31 |
| jatakk | Just not the other way around | 21:31 |
| benzrf | jailbird: please do | 21:31 |
| benzrf | I could use some excitement | 21:31 |
| jailbird | Ubuntu is hodgepodge of garbadge | 21:31 |
| ToAruShiroiNeko | the documentation I linked talks about "Hit F6, then ESC. Then add vga=791 noreplace-paravirt at the end of the white command" | 21:31 |
| ToAruShiroiNeko | what would this do? | 21:32 |
| jatakk | shere_khan_: ls -a | 21:32 |
| benzrf | jailbird: if you /whois benzrf, you can find my ip | 21:32 |
| Nothing_Much | Hmm.. a Fixed disk, try dynamic instead, there might be a problem with something like that | 21:32 |
| benzrf | please try to load a virus onto my system | 21:32 |
| benzrf | thanks :) | 21:32 |
| savio | jailbird http://www.pcworld.com/article/202452/why_linux_is_more_secure_than_windows.html | 21:32 |
| jatakk | sherox: ls -a | 21:32 |
| ToAruShiroiNeko | I am trying to try ubuntu without installing rather than trying ot install | 21:32 |
| ToAruShiroiNeko | its being strange :( | 21:32 |
| neo_user | jordan u do u mean i should u native vpn connection method | 21:32 |
| neo_user | instead of cisco | 21:32 |
| sherox | jatakk: so like ls -a filename ? | 21:32 |
| bennypr0fane | benzrf well your fstab is messed up. Ubuntu won't mount as fat32 | 21:33 |
| Nothing_Much | ToAruShiroiNeko, switch it to a dynamic disk | 21:33 |
| carrera | My nvidia M360 card crashes with the Nouveau driver during install. So I used the alternate edition to install the nvidia drivers. Can anyone tell me how I can install 13.04 ? | 21:33 |
| shere_khan_ | jatakk, why? | 21:33 |
| benzrf | bennypr0fane: ok. how do I set it back to being ext4? | 21:33 |
| jatakk | sherox: No just navigate to the directory and type "ls -a" and it'll give you all the files in that directory | 21:33 |
| bekks | benzrf: The partition type does not indicate onhow it is mounted. | 21:33 |
| jatakk | shere_khan_: Sorry I highlighted the wrong person :P | 21:33 |
| bekks | bennypr0fane: ^^ | 21:33 |
| Jordan_U | neo_user: Network manager supports Cisco VPNs, I'm not sure what you mean by "use native vpn connection method instead of cisco". | 21:33 |
| bennypr0fane | bekks what? | 21:34 |
| sherox | jatakk: the file itself is not hidden. the file extention and I need to know what file type it is | 21:34 |
| neo_user | oh i mean no need to use cisco client software | 21:34 |
| robs | join #ubuntu-br | 21:34 |
| bekks | bennypr0fane: The partition type does not indicate on how the filesyste on that partition is mounted. | 21:34 |
| jatakk | sherox: Oh, well files don't need extensions in Linuz | 21:34 |
| jatakk | *Linux | 21:35 |
| bennypr0fane | bekks correct | 21:35 |
| MartynKeigher2 | hey all...i need a little hlep with sites-avail / sites-enbale | 21:35 |
| jatakk | sherox: Not sure how to find out what file type something is without opening it though | 21:35 |
| ToAruShiroiNeko | Nothing_Much dynaic disk? | 21:35 |
| bekks | jatakk: "file yourfile" | 21:35 |
| sherox | jatakk: is there a way for me to open it without knowing what program to open it in? | 21:35 |
| bekks | jatakk: That will tell you whats in yourfile. | 21:35 |
| ToAruShiroiNeko | you mean a dynamic virtual disk? why is the disk even relevant? | 21:35 |
| ToAruShiroiNeko | wouldnt ubuntu work without a drive? | 21:36 |
| thechef | my resolv.conf contains only 127.0.0.1. That's wrong it should contain the routers address and it worked before and I didn't make any changes to the system. Why is is set to 127.0.0.1 - how can I fix it? | 21:36 |
| Nothing_Much | There's a difference between the dynamic and fixed disk, mostly performance ones | 21:36 |
| MartynKeigher2 | i ahve my main wordpress site installed in /var/www/ and i have installed ttrss (http://tt-rss.org/redmine/projects/tt-rss/wiki) in this location /var/www/ttrss | 21:36 |
| jatakk | sherox: Do what bekks said. | 21:36 |
| kijutsu | MartynKeigher2: I've found that using multiple sites on apache2 is easier when you put each site into it's own folder inside /var/www | 21:37 |
| Nothing_Much | Dynamic basically means that it's created quicker and will expand to a size if it becomes overfilled with data | 21:37 |
| OS-10635 | guys, I run this command host -t mx google.com | cut -d" " -f7 and it returned sub.sub.domain.com. (I want to remote the . at the end of com, I can't use cut since . already exist in the same line ) how to remve the last char ? | 21:37 |
| kijutsu | MartynKeigher2: for exapmle... /var/www/wordpress && /var/www/ttrss | 21:37 |
| Quest | rephrase: which app is used mostly for multi ssh and has most userbase with support? | 21:37 |
| MartynKeigher2 | if i go to http://lab.martynkeigher.com/ttrss it works fine. BUT if i go to it FROM http://lab.martynkeigher.com it doesnt work. | 21:37 |
| ToAruShiroiNeko | Nothing_Much I know but I am only trying to "try ubuntu" rather than installing it, it should load itself only to memory, right? | 21:38 |
| MartynKeigher2 | i did that INITIALLY...but it would just not work at all. therefore stuck with /var/www/ttrss | 21:38 |
| kijutsu | MartynKeigher2: then you will need to examine each of the files you have in sites-available to make sure the root directory lines are correct. | 21:38 |
| shasha | hello | 21:38 |
| bennypr0fane | benzrf paste your fdisk -l and your fstab to paste.ubuntu.com, give a link here, and someone will be able to look at it. Also, grub-install should fix whatever is broken there. that's all I can think of for now, gotta go | 21:38 |
| MartynKeigher2 | so..if i did reinstall it in /var/www/ttrss, intsead if /var/www/wordpress/ttrss what do i need to do? | 21:39 |
| MartynKeigher2 | to get it tot work? | 21:39 |
| shasha | what's the terminal command to start a new thread? | 21:39 |
| jailbitcx | Ubuntu mysql last year you could hijack your system less than a minute. Ubuntu is less secure than windows | 21:39 |
| kijutsu | MartynKeigher2: also -- make sure that the site url is in there under the ServerName line | 21:39 |
| MartynKeigher2 | i think the main issue is IF i navigate to the URL from my home page...it wont work. its like i need the theme to NOT CONTROL that URL or something. | 21:40 |
| sherox | bekks: ok sweet. now the file is a Linux rev 1.0 ext2 filesystem data. how do I open it? | 21:40 |
| comodo_dragon | i want dual boot win7 and ubuntu 12.10 via USB Stick. | 21:40 |
| ErdMutter | Question: How might it get conky loading my network information on ubuntu 13.04 on a macbook pro 9,2? | 21:40 |
| MartynKeigher2 | can i copy the default in sites-avail for the ttrss and modify it? | 21:40 |
| bekks | sherox: You have to mount it. | 21:40 |
| bekks | sherox: So whats that file, actually? Is it a disk image? | 21:40 |
| comodo_dragon | i want dual boot win7 and ubuntu 12.10 via USB Stick. | 21:40 |
| shasha | guys? | 21:41 |
| sherox | bekks: yeah | 21:41 |
| MartynKeigher2 | k..i'll uninstall it and try this again. putting it in its own folder /var/www/ttrss | 21:41 |
| MartynKeigher2 | brb | 21:41 |
| bekks | sherox: So how was that image file created? | 21:41 |
| savio | comodo_dragon !dualboot | 21:41 |
| sherox | bekks: im not sure but it's a partial disk image dump | 21:41 |
| kijutsu | I'm looking to prevent a major version upgrade on my webserver.. how do I do this and still allow regular package updates? | 21:41 |
| Jordan_U | benzrf: Grub doesn't care about partition ids from the partition table, and nether does pretty much anything else in GNU/Linux. | 21:41 |
| comodo_dragon | ? | 21:42 |
| Jordan_U | kijutsu: What version of Ubuntu are you using? | 21:42 |
| kijutsu | Jordan_U: 12.10 | 21:42 |
| comodo_dragon | i want to install win7 from usb and ubuntu from SAME US. | 21:42 |
| comodo_dragon | i want to install win7 from usb and ubuntu from SAME USB. | 21:42 |
| bekks | sherox: mkdir /mnt/partial; sudo mount -o loop /path/to/yourfile /mnt/partial | 21:42 |
| Jordan_U | kijutsu: That was a bad choice if you wanted to go a long time without a major upgrade. If you want that, next time choose an LTS release like 12.04. | 21:43 |
| bekks | sherox: That tries to mount it to /mnt/partial | 21:43 |
| kijutsu | Jordan_U: PPC 12.04 is kinda wonky | 21:43 |
| Jordan_U | kijutsu: When 12.10 goes EOL you'll need to upgrade, there's no way around that. | 21:43 |
| kijutsu | when is 12.10 EOL expected? | 21:43 |
| savio | comodo_dragon u mean on same usb you want to dual boot windows and ubuntu | 21:44 |
| comodo_dragon | same, yes | 21:44 |
| Yonney | hi all, which are the main tools that can interconnect both linux, mac and windows machines with screen sharing etc.? (so that clients/servers can be installed on each side by anyone, open-source/free tools) | 21:44 |
| comodo_dragon | savio, yes | 21:45 |

| bekks | sherox: Open a terminal, and see whether you have access permissions on that folder. | 21:50 |
| Dr_willis | comodo_dragon, since making a bootable windows usb isent really a ubuntu support question.. if a tool exists id bet Pendrivelinux has it | 21:50 |

| sleyter | Inactive | 21:51 |
| kijutsu | BlueProtoman: hate to say.. might need to get an IRCop involved to akill the user. | 21:51 |
| BlueProtoman | kijutsu: I've already alerted #ubuntu-ops. | 21:51 |
| kijutsu | BlueProtoman: hah... 'nuff said :) | 21:51 |
| cristina | hello i have 2 pations 1- 25 gb ...where is my home directory and another one 130 gb /boot | 21:52 |
| BlueProtoman | Jordan_U, thank you. | 21:52 |
| loldog | dpkg gets stuck at updating inframs, what to do? | 21:52 |
| cristina | my 25 gb is full | 21:52 |
| kijutsu | Jordan_U: what BlueProtoman said..I second :) | 21:52 |
| cristina | how to use 130 gb ? | 21:52 |
| BlueProtoman | Now, Python 3.2 on a newly-upgraded Ubuntu 13.04? I get this error: http://paste.ubuntu.com/5613992/ | 21:53 |
| Jordan_U | BlueProtoman: kijutsu: You're welcome, but in the future it's best to let trolls go without comment or fanfare. | 21:53 |
| Dr_willis | cristian_c, 130gb for /boot/ is a little extreme/ You normally dont need a boot partion these days | 21:53 |
| sherox | bekks: i do not have access permissions to that. I tried sudo cd and sudo ls but neither worked | 21:54 |
| BlueProtoman | Jordan_U: Right, yes, silly me. | 21:54 |
| kijutsu | Jordan_U: he was PMing us both sadly. I hit /ignore and whomever it was decided to jump nicks and go there and continuing PM bombing. | 21:54 |
| sleyter | hi | 21:54 |
| sleyter | help me please | 21:54 |
| BlueProtoman | I didn't even know webchat.freenode had /ignore. | 21:54 |
| sleyter | i have 1 problem with my printer | 21:55 |
| bekks | sherox: Did it even mount correctly? | 21:55 |
| savio | cristian_c use gpart for repartion | 21:55 |
| savio | cristian_c from live cd | 21:55 |
| sherox | bekks: yeah I even looked at the contents of another folder that didn't have access permissions | 21:55 |
| bekks | sherox: Looking into a folder doesnt answer my previous question. :) | 21:55 |
| knoppix | moin :) | 21:56 |
| neo_user | thanks you jordan_u | 21:56 |
| neo_user | its worked | 21:56 |
| bekks | sherox: Please pastebin the output of: "df -h" and "dmesg". | 21:56 |
| Dr_willis | sleyter, give the channel details of the printer type and the problem. | 21:56 |
| neo_user | also thanks to bennyprofane and all others | 21:56 |
| sherox | bekks: the file the mounted in /mnt/partial/ had 2 folders. one had pics and files, the other had access permissions so I could not view its contents. It did mount correctly I'm sure | 21:57 |
| bekks | sherox: So which permissions does that folder have? | 21:57 |
| kyuubi | hello, i need help. im dual booting win 7 and ubuntu. win 7 boots up fine but when i try to boot up ubuntu it goes to grub4dos. any help or suggestions? | 21:58 |
| sherox | bekks: well there are two folders total. one I can assume that I have full, and the other does not even let me open it | 21:58 |
| bekks | sherox: So which permissions does that folder have? | 21:59 |
| zqfmgb | kyuubi - try rescatux | 21:59 |
| Dr_willis | kyuubi, how did you install ubuntu? Grub4dos is not part of ubuntu last i looked | 21:59 |
| jmnoz | something seems to be setting my default font in Emacs to "Ubuntu Mono", Where can I change this? | 21:59 |
| sherox | bekks: how can I check? | 21:59 |
| bekks | sherox: Just run ls -lha in the folder above the one you dont have access to. | 21:59 |
| bitcx | Hello | 22:00 |
| esulu | ciao a tutti | 22:00 |
| sherox | bekks: ls: cannot open directory /mnt/partial/lost+found: Permission denied | 22:00 |
| Dr_willis | sherox, lost+found is a special folder owned by root. so thats normal | 22:00 |
| kyuubi | dr_willis i made a bootable flash drive and installed it. then when i rebooted it went straight to windows. so i used EasyBCD to add ubuntu to add to the boot menu. when i select it, it goes to grub4. right now, i reformated it and installed linux mint, and the same thing is occuring | 22:01 |
| bekks | sherox: ls -l /mnt/partial/lost\+found | 22:01 |
| Loshki | jmnoz: does M-x set-default-font work for you? | 22:01 |
| sherox | bekks: lost+found is the folder name that is totally unrelated to my pc | 22:01 |
| Dr_willis | !fixgrub | kyuubi | 22:01 |
| ubottu | kyuubi: 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 | 22:01 |
| jmnoz | Loshki: nope, it's modified outside of customize | 22:01 |
| sleyter | inactiva-Filter failed | 22:01 |
| bekks | sherox: Thats normal. that folder contains lost file fragments after a filesystem crash and recovery. | 22:01 |
| Dr_willis | kyuubi, you should reinstall the grub bootloader. reformating a filesystem will not erase the bootloader | 22:01 |
| sleyter | what is? inactiva-Filter failed | 22:02 |
| sherox | bekks: I still get permission denied | 22:02 |
| kyuubi | dr willis do i run that in grub4? | 22:02 |
| Loshki | jmnoz: something in your ~/.emacs ? | 22:02 |
| jmnoz | Loshki: no | 22:02 |
| bekks | sherox: So do you expect to find files in there? | 22:02 |
| sherox | bekks: yes | 22:02 |
| Dr_willis | kyuubi, the urls the bot gave above detail how to reinstall grub. a live cd+ the boot-repair tool is the normal way | 22:03 |
| Jordan_U | kyuubi: There is no such thing as grub4, there is only GRUB4DOS (which we don't support here). | 22:03 |
| jmnoz | Loshki: and not in Xresources | 22:03 |
| bekks | sherox: Then get a root shell by using sudo -i and access that folder. | 22:03 |
| Jordan_U | kyuubi: GRUB4DOS was added by EasyBCD, and you should use EasyBCD to remove it. | 22:03 |
| kyuubi | ok. thank you both. im brand new to linux in general. | 22:03 |
| sherox | bekks: so sudo -i cd /mnt/partial/lost+found ? | 22:04 |
| bekks | sherox: No. Just sudo -i | 22:04 |
| bekks | sherox: Then you will have a shell with root privileges and you can access that folder | 22:04 |
| SrPx | Hey guys. Is there a good guide/reference for learning linux commands the right way? Something that explains (briefly!) important concepts such as piping |, this: >> (whatever it is), etc., and lists the most important commands? | 22:05 |

| Dr_willis | sleyter, state the issue. In english por favore. | 22:26 |
| Jordan_U | b14d3: It's likely then that your BIOS is trying to boot from a different drive than you expect, one with a broken bootloader in its MBR. | 22:27 |

| Dr_willis | ubh, there is no longer a netbook ubuntu release | 22:48 |
| Dr_willis | Desktop is what most people want for a non server machine | 22:48 |
| ubh | Dr_willis: In terminal, I get this: http://paste.ubuntu.com/5614173/ | 22:49 |
| Dr_willis | ubh, you could tell us more details/ like what you are actually trying to acomplish.. Not just giving out pastebins | 22:49 |
| Macuser | zonk1024: to make it CLI would I change it to "quiet splash text" or "text" ? | 22:49 |
| tgm4883 | Dr_willis, I think kubuntu does have a specific netbook package | 22:50 |
| zonk1024 | Macuser: if text is there then X11 won't load... Leaving you on the CLI. | 22:50 |
| ubh | Dr_willis: help me choose the version, 'cause I cannot understand what "Low Fat" and "Active" actually means | 22:50 |
| Macuser | what does X11 provide? | 22:50 |
| Dr_willis | tgm4883, theres a desktop/netbook mode for the gui - Lubuntu has one also. | 22:50 |
| tgm4883 | ubh, you can find the differences in those packages by doing 'apt-cache show <PACKAGENAME>' | 22:50 |

| hanasaki | tgm4883: I am in kde | 22:59 |

| tgm4883 | hanasaki, do you have jockey? | 23:00 |
| tgm4883 | !jockey | 23:00 |

| tgm4883 | hanasaki, hmm | 23:01 |
| MGMT | When I tried to restart into windows it said error: invalid EFI file path | 23:01 |
| clarkm | Should I use rsync to copy the files over, or how to recommend doing this? | 23:01 |
| tgm4883 | hanasaki, probably no drivers that support that anymore | 23:02 |
| Jordan_U | clarkm: Then (optionally after trying to grab a few important files) use GNU ddrescue to make a full image backup of the drive (or of just the partition if you want, either way works) then run fsck against that image when it's done. | 23:02 |
| tgm4883 | hanasaki, let me check the amd site | 23:02 |
| clarkm | Jordan_U: I dropped my laptop, then it reported I/O errors on boot, so I used a livecd and ran fsck which reported no errors. | 23:03 |
| hanasaki | tgm4883: from the X log... ATI Radeon HD 3200 Graphics, | 23:03 |
| tgm4883 | hanasaki, looks like support for it was dropped. http://wiki.cchtml.com/index.php/Hardware#Older_RadeonHD_.28Catalyst_Legacy_13.1_.26_Open_Source.29 | 23:03 |
| hanasaki | tgm4883: from the lspci VGA compatible controller: Advanced Micro Devices [AMD] nee ATI RS780 [Radeon HD 3200] | 23:03 |
| clarkm | So I started running e2fsck -c, which is about 20% done and has already found 50 badblocks. | 23:03 |
| tgm4883 | hanasaki, I'm not sure where to find the legacy drivers, but it looks like you'll need to install the drivers directly from amd | 23:03 |
| clarkm | Did I possibly damage the drive already? | 23:04 |
| hanasaki | tgm4883: what I pasted looks like it should be supported | 23:04 |
| hanasaki | tgm4883: from the page you gave.. looks supported .. yes? * RS780 Radeon HD 3100/3200/3300 | 23:04 |
| tgm4883 | hanasaki, where does it say that? | 23:05 |
| hanasaki | which one? | 23:05 |
| tgm4883 | hanasaki, yes, that is in the legacy driver | 23:05 |
| Jordan_U | clarkm: If the drive is failing, which it most likely is, then each read and write you do is likely to make it fail further. | 23:05 |
| loldog | How do I remove the unity crap? | 23:05 |
| hanasaki | tgm4883: define legacy? | 23:05 |
| tgm4883 | hanasaki, I can't. I don't work for AMD :) | 23:05 |
| hanasaki | tgm4883: what I pasted is from the X logs.. | 23:06 |
| hanasaki | lol true tgm4883 | 23:06 |
| Jordan_U | !notunity | loldog Please watch your language, but: | 23:06 |
| ubottu | loldog Please watch your language, but:: Ubuntu 11.10 and higher use the !Unity desktop environment by default. To use GNOME Shell instead, install the "gnome-shell" package and investigate "gnome-tweak-tool". For GNOME Fallback mode, which is similar to GNOME 2, install "gnome-panel". Both packages will place entries in the Sessions dropdown. | 23:06 |
| tgm4883 | hanasaki, whatever they mean by legacy, is where your drivers are for that card | 23:06 |
| Dr_willis | loldog, what do you want to use instead? and tone down the attitude. | 23:06 |
| loldog | Dr_willis: Normal plain gnome with working F2 without this windows 8 panel | 23:06 |
| tgm4883 | loldog, how about XFCE? | 23:07 |
| tgm4883 | !xubuntu | loldog | 23:07 |
| ubottu | loldog: Xubuntu is Ubuntu with Xfce as the desktop environment. More info at http://www.xubuntu.org/ - To install from Ubuntu: « sudo apt-get install xubuntu-desktop » - Join #xubuntu for support - See also: !Ubuntu and !Xubuntu-Channels | 23:07 |
| Dr_willis | loldog, gnome2 is dead. theres falback modes for an gnome-2ish look.. | 23:07 |
| hanasaki | tgm4883: btw,, the amd download does not build on rarey.. it says it needs dh-modalias | 23:07 |
| Rodrigo | I have a question. In Ubuntu you can't change the mouse cursor without some tweaks, in Ubuntu-Gnome you can't change the title bar of windows. Just upgraded to Ubuntu 13.04 and HDMI sound is not working. My question is whey there are so many bugs? Isn't the system tested before the release? | 23:07 |
| tgm4883 | hanasaki, did you install that? | 23:07 |
| hanasaki | tgm4883: it won't build | 23:07 |
| tgm4883 | hanasaki, I literally just built the 13.4 driver on raring 2 minutes ago | 23:07 |
| clarkm | Jordan_U: ok, that makes sense -- do I just run a ddrescue over ssh, or is there some way to have it work incrementally (in case of dropped connection, etc)? | 23:07 |
| loldog | Dr_willis: All I want is to remove the ALT+F2 b0rk the screen-hide-everything stuff and get rid of that line taking half the screen with icons and ads I never need | 23:07 |
| tgm4883 | hanasaki, I'm installing for my 7600m right now | 23:07 |
| hanasaki | tgm4883: how do I double check the version I am on? | 23:08 |
| loldog | How do I install unity-tweaker? | 23:08 |
| tgm4883 | hanasaki, the ubuntu version? | 23:08 |
| tgm4883 | loldog, use xubuntu, it's probably exactly what you are looking for | 23:08 |
| Dr_willis | loldog, No idea what you mean by alt-f2 bork. and theres alternativge desktops in the repos if you want somthing totally differnt | 23:08 |
| Dr_willis | and again.. enough ranting | 23:08 |
| Jordan_U | clarkm: If you use a log file (which you always should) then you can continue at any point, though to be more convenient you might also want to run ddrescue in a screen/tmux session. | 23:08 |
| loldog | Dr_willis: I want normal gnome. When I press ALT + F2 now it greys out the screen the same way gksu does. | 23:09 |
| tgm4883 | hanasaki, the drivers should say what release they are in the filename. | 23:09 |
| Dr_willis | loldog, as i said. thers a gnome-2 fallback theme. | 23:09 |
| basiclas_ | hi guys :) | 23:09 |

| basiclas_ | hi guys :) | 23:09 |
| loldog | I dont mind gnome3, I just dont want the side thing | 23:09 |
| loldog | and normal windows | 23:10 |
| hanasaki | tgm4883: yes ubuntu ver | 23:10 |
| tgm4883 | hanasaki, 'lsb_release -a' | 23:10 |
| tgm4883 | hanasaki, but I've done this on 12.04 and 12.10 too, so it should work | 23:10 |
| Jordan_U | aidan___: How are you trying to "partition some left over space"? Why do you expect the device name to be /dev/sda? | 23:10 |
| darthanubis | key ".hidden" not found in map source(s). | 23:10 |
| hanasaki | 13.04 raring | 23:10 |
| loldog | I dont get why anyone would want to use half their screen for amazon ads. | 23:10 |
| tgm4883 | hanasaki, what error are you getting | 23:10 |
| Dr_willis | loldog, use gnome-shell then if you want gnome3. gnome3.8 has its own gnome-2ish mode | 23:10 |
| hanasaki | tgm but /etc/motd says ... New release '13.04' available. | 23:11 |
| tgm4883 | loldog, that's not a support question | 23:11 |
| loldog | Dr_willis: apt-get install gnome-shell? | 23:11 |
| Dr_willis | loldog, i really dont know what you mean.. i dont have half my screen being ads.. | 23:11 |
| === root is now known as Guest45277 | ||
| tgm4883 | hanasaki, motd probably hasn't been updated | 23:11 |
| aidan___ | Jordan_U: its an OVH dedicated server, there /dev/sda[1,2,3] exist, but i expected /dev/sda to exist adn to be the actual disk | 23:11 |
| loldog | Dr_willis: and it will give me proper alt + f2? | 23:11 |
| Dr_willis | and its rather trivial to disable the adslens | 23:11 |
| loldog | I dont want any lenses | 23:11 |
| Dr_willis | loldog, no idwa what you mean by 'proper' alt-f2 works fine for me | 23:11 |
| Dr_willis | loldog, fire up the package manager and remoe them then. | 23:11 |
| loldog | If I wanted lenses I could use windows 8, it has lenses all over the place. | 23:11 |
| Dr_willis | I think you are confused as to what lenses do in ubuntu. | 23:12 |
| dzend | hi guys :) | 23:12 |
| darthanubis | autofs is not working for me | 23:12 |
| loldog | Dr_willis: Probably. I just want it to be like in 7.10... | 23:12 |
| tgm4883 | loldog, xubuntu | 23:12 |
| hanasaki | tgm4883: wait.. building | 23:13 |
| Dr_willis | loldog, so once again.. if you want the old gnome2 look. use one of the gnome fallback/classic mode options mentioned above.... | 23:13 |
| loldog | tgm4883: But making xfce be like ubuntu is a pain, how do I get mouseover typing and scrolling in xfce? | 23:13 |
| tgm4883 | loldog, it's commonly thought that xubuntu give the most gnome2 like experience | 23:13 |
| basiclas_ | hey guys can any of you check out a laptop for me ? Im going to buy it but i want to know if ill have any EFI trouble when i try to install ubuntu :) http://www.ebay.co.uk/itm/ASUS-X401A-Intel-Dual-Core-4GB-RAM-320GB-HDD-Super-Slim-14-inch-Laptop-/251207258292?pt=UK_Computing_Laptops_EH&hash=item3a7d1e90b4 | 23:13 |
| tgm4883 | loldog, IDK, I use Unity :) | 23:13 |
| Dr_willis | I just use lubuntu for an olkd skool look | 23:13 |
| darthanubis | key ".hidden" not found in map source(s).? | 23:13 |
| hanasaki | tgm4883: odd... amd-driver-installer-catalyst-13.1-legacy-linux-x86.x86_64 says .. Uncompressing AMD Catalyst(TM) Proprietary Driver-8.97.100.7 versions don't match | 23:13 |
| loldog | tgm4883: Why? I can't imagine the use, the icons distracts me. It is like having someone having a seizure next to me. | 23:14 |
| Jordan_U | aidan___: Since you're withing a virtual machine, and that virtual machine is passing the OS paravirtualized IO devices rather than an emulated SATA disk or similar, you'll need to ask your hosting provider how to re-allocate space on these virtual devices. | 23:14 |
| aidan___ | Jordan_U: its a dedicated server, not virtual :/ | 23:14 |
| tgm4883 | hanasaki, yea that is a bit confusing. 13.1 is the release version, 8.97.100.7 is the driver version | 23:14 |
| hanasaki | tgm4883: error .. fglrx installation requires that the system have kernel headers. /lib/modules/3.8.0-19-generic/build/include/linux/version.h | 23:14 |
| clarkm | Jordan_U: Ok, from my tmux'd ssh session i'll do something like: ddrescue /dev/sda1 -- | ssh me@backuphost 'cat ~/sda1backup.img' Does that look good? | 23:14 |
| Jordan_U | aidan___: That's hard to believe. | 23:14 |
| tgm4883 | loldog, some of us aren't limited by our lack of imagination | 23:14 |
| hanasaki | tgm4883: where did you get the 13.4? | 23:15 |
| tgm4883 | hanasaki, you'll need the kernel headers. I think the package it 'linux-headers-generic' | 23:15 |
| === huw_ is now known as Guest16184 | ||
| tgm4883 | hanasaki, http://support.amd.com/us/gpudownload/linux/Pages/radeon_linux.aspx | 23:15 |
| hanasaki | tgm4883: I have the headers already.. that is the messed up part | 23:15 |
| loldog | tgm4883: the menu taking ALL the screens is also pointless | 23:15 |
| basiclas_ | any hardware wizards in here? i need help please :D | 23:16 |
| tgm4883 | hanasaki, do you have the right header version? | 23:16 |
| aidan___ | Jordan_U: i dont know how i can prove it? haha | 23:16 |
| Jordan_U | clarkm: No, because it doesn't include a log file. If you really can't save the file locally it's probably easiest to use sshfs. Do you have enough bandwidth to make this backup in a reasonable amount of time? | 23:16 |
| tgm4883 | loldog, something about one mans trash... | 23:16 |
| hanasaki | odd.. tgm4883 I downloaded the latest... I thought but got 13.1 | 23:16 |
| Dr_willis | yea. its better to keep most of the screen unused instead of having it all used. ;) | 23:17 |
| hanasaki | tgm4883: yes.. I have linux-headers-3.8.0-19 and -generic that match the uname -a | 23:17 |
| Jordan_U | aidan___: Please pastebin the contents of /proc/partitions and /proc/mounts, and the output of "sudo parted -l". | 23:17 |
| tgm4883 | hanasaki, odd. It might be that it's looking for them in one location but they are installed somewhere else. Copy that error message into google | 23:17 |
| hanasaki | tgm4883: came from this diff url http://support.amd.com/us/gpudownload/linux/legacy/Pages/legacy-radeon_linux.aspx | 23:18 |
| tgm4883 | Dr_willis, I have all of my windows only take the left 10% of my screen so I can see my background. Because that is by far the most important part ;) | 23:18 |
| matiu | I'm in the ubuntu install, and I need to ifconfig but the busybox doesn't have it. Any idea on an alternative route I can take ? | 23:18 |
| Jordan_U | aidan___: Also, the output of "ls -l /dev/disk/by-path/". | 23:18 |

| Dr_willis | loldog, download the iso, install it.. is the normal way | 23:19 |
| clarkm | Jordan_U: The dying machine is a laptop on the same gigabit network. I've booted it with a livecd and am connected to it via ssh from this machine. I want to dump its contents on this computer's harddrive, so I guess I'll use sshfs(?) | 23:19 |
| matiu | Jordan_U and Dr_willis, I'm installing ubuntu as a xenserver guest. | 23:19 |

| MGMT | I was able to make it so I can boot into windows now, but I have two options in my grub that dont do anything. Also I can't get to the recovery partition for windows7 | 23:20 |

| hanasaki | tgm4883: on the ati website for selecting drivers | 23:21 |

| hanasaki | tgm4883: its on this page http://support.amd.com/us/gpudownload/Pages/index.aspx | 23:22 |
| Jordan_U | aidan___: "ls -l /dev/disk/by-id/" | 23:22 |
| Dr_willis | bmomjian, try setting youtube to use html5 instead of flash perhaps? | 23:22 |
| aidan___ | Jordan_U: ls: cannot access /dev/disk/by-id/: No such file or directory | 23:23 |
| tgm4883 | hanasaki, no, embedded graphics is probably talking about ARM type stuff | 23:23 |
| hanasaki | ah | 23:23 |
| aidan___ | Jordan_U: There is by-uuid though | 23:23 |
| bmomjian | Dr_willis: uh, how do I do that? | 23:23 |
| Jordan_U | aidan___: No, I really did want by-id. It will normally show the manufacturer and serial number of the drives. | 23:24 |
| Guest91600 | anyone know how to make pylotro work in wine 1.5.29? | 23:25 |

| Dr_willis | loldog, it was released on the 25th. so No. | 23:26 |
| aidan_ | Jordan_U: I can always reinstall ubuntu and partition it through their interface, i was just more curious than anything to why /dev/sda isnt there | 23:26 |
| loldog | Dr_willis: Thanks for your interest in this development release of Ubuntu. The Ubuntu developers are moving very quickly to bring you the absolute latest and greatest software the Open Source Community has to offer. This development release brings you a taste of the newest features for the next version of Ubuntu. | 23:26 |
| Guest91600 | yeah I tried it with winetricks and without but the update broke it | 23:27 |
| loldog | Dr_willis: That is what my update manager says about it | 23:27 |
| Dr_willis | loldog, it was reelased on the 25th - as in like 3 days ago.. its not alpha or beta// | 23:27 |
| Jordan_U | aidan_: There is something odd about these "drives", and I've only seen this type of thing with paravirtualization. They may have given you a machine with a hypervisor that's only running your VM, but I'm pretty sure you're not running on bare metal. | 23:28 |
| vong_ | hi | 23:28 |
| loldog | Dr_willis: Maybe the norwegian thing is outdated? | 23:28 |
| hanasaki | how do I get this installed on 13.04? dhhelper is alr3eady installed make: dh_modaliases: Command not found | 23:28 |
| aidan_ | Jordan_U: That would definitely make sense to how they can easily re-deploy os's/etc. Is there a way to check that sort of thing within the OS? | 23:29 |
| Jordan_U | clarkm: Yes, I would use sshfs. Do you need help getting sshfs setup? | 23:29 |
| Guest91600 | I posted on wine forums and ubuntu forums, I guess now I just gotta wait | 23:30 |
| Arpad2 | hi | 23:30 |
| Dr_willis | Guest91600, you did check the wine app database? and the #winehq channel? | 23:31 |
| Guest91600 | it would be so much easier if someone would just make an entry into plays on linux for lotro and ddo | 23:31 |
| Arpad2 | my audio is gone, no sound at all. pls could smb give a help ? | 23:31 |
| bmomjian | Dr_willis: switched Youtube to HTML5, verified the change by right-clicking on the video; same problem | 23:31 |
| Dr_willis | Never really needed to use Play OnLinux | 23:31 |
| clarkm | Jordan_U: Do I attempt to mount the faliing HDD via sshfs? Because I thought ddrescue didn't want anything mounted | 23:32 |
| Dr_willis | bmomjian, paste one of the problem urls here for others to verify perhaps | 23:32 |
| Guest91600 | I haven't either cause I don't play any of the games on it | 23:32 |
| Jordan_U | aidan_: On a systemd bases system you could use systemd-detect-virt, and that has to get its information from somewhwer, so yes it's possible. | 23:33 |
| Jordan_U | clarkm: No. | 23:33 |
| bmomjian | thanks | 23:33 |
| aidan_ | Jordan_U: Cool :) well thanks for your help, very informative | 23:34 |
| Jordan_U | clarkm: First, to make discussion easier, we have the dying laptop and what is the other machine (the one you want to back up to)? What do you want to call it? | 23:34 |
| clarkm | desktop | 23:34 |
| bmomjian | this one is very bad, stops at 2 seconds: http://youtu.be/EGVWWsxvh_Y | 23:34 |
| bmomjian | I am on a 50 Mbs pipe, so it can't be performance | 23:35 |
| clarkm | I can mount laptop:/dev/sda1 (dying hdd) to desktop:/media/dying via sshfs then backup desktop:/media/dying to desktop:~/backup.img using ddrescue | 23:35 |
| clarkm | And I'll include a logfile :) | 23:36 |
| bekks | clarkm: using sshfs, you cant run dd to access the raw device. | 23:37 |
| Jordan_U | aidan_: Running "lspci" and looking at the brand of certain devices might give you a hint. | 23:37 |
| Dr_willis | dding a sshfs mounted server would be a neat trick | 23:37 |
| Jordan_U | clarkm: No. Don't mount anything on the dying HD, period. | 23:37 |
| clarkm | bekks: Ah, ok -- yeah, ddrescue didn't want to take a remote host as an output file either :P | 23:37 |
| clarkm | Jordan_U: ok, I won't. | 23:38 |
| Jordan_U | clarkm: Use sshfs on the laptop to mount a directory from your Desktop. | 23:38 |
| clarkm | ohh, ok. That makes sense. | 23:38 |
| Dr_willis | you should be able to use sshfs and a live cd, to ddrescue a hd to a image file to a network machine | 23:38 |
| clarkm | I was thinking backward. | 23:38 |
| Dr_willis | dont forget to use the logfile option for ddrescue ;) | 23:38 |
| clarkm | It's times like this that I'm mad that I have an encrypted home dir. | 23:40 |
| Dr_willis | one of the many reasons i dont use those fancy options | 23:40 |
| Silic0n | Anyone know how to get vmware to find linux headers? | 23:41 |
| bmomjian | The video debug windows shows the TagStreamPlayer often at 0 kps; I have reported the issue again to Youtube. | 23:42 |
| bekks | Silic0n: which vmware? | 23:42 |
| Silic0n | vmware 9 | 23:42 |
| xub69 | Dr_willis, clarkm , the single private folder makes more sense to me, ecryptfs-setup-private | 23:43 |
| bekks | Silic0n: do you mean "VMware Workstation 9.0"? | 23:43 |
| Silic0n | yes | 23:43 |
| Dr_willis | bmomjian, i tend to use the various flash-downloader extensons to just download the things | 23:43 |
| excelsiora | what's up? Now that i've installed 13.4, what are the implications of doing sudo apt-get upgrade? | 23:43 |
| bekks | Silic0n: Then you have to patch the installer or use a kernel providing the specific headers. | 23:43 |
| Dr_willis | excelsiora, upgrade? that will just upgrade the system. | 23:43 |
| clarkm | xub69: yeah, I should've done that. | 23:43 |
| bekks | Silic0n: I'd just use VirtualBox instead. | 23:43 |
| bmomjian | yeah, odd this just started with firefox 20; before that it always worked fine; has to work for my family, so my options are limited. ;-) | 23:43 |
| Dr_willis | excelsiora, do a 'sudo apt-get update' first | 23:44 |
| Silic0n | bekks: Ok, I'll try to use virtualbox | 23:44 |
| clarkm | luckily I learned my lesson, now I just truecrypt sensitive stuff | 23:44 |
| excelsiora | I did N on it, but it said plymouth among others would be upgraded... | 23:44 |
| excelsiora | what is plymouth? | 23:44 |
| Dr_willis | excelsiora, so your system is not updated.. | 23:44 |
| Dr_willis | !pymouth | 23:44 |
| excelsiora | !plymouth | 23:44 |
| ubottu | Plymouth manages the Ubuntu boot process (before the root filesystem is mounted) and also provides a graphical boot animation. To change your Plymouth theme use « sudo update-alternatives --config default.plymouth && sudo update-initramfs -u » | 23:44 |
| Dr_willis | !info pymouth | 23:44 |
| ubottu | Package pymouth does not exist in raring | 23:44 |
| xub69 | !info piemouth | 23:45 |
| ubottu | Package piemouth does not exist in raring | 23:45 |
| excelsiora | lol | 23:45 |
| Dr_willis | pymouth does the fancy ... loading screen | 23:45 |
| excelsiora | pymouth? | 23:45 |
| excelsiora | or plymouth? | 23:45 |
| Dr_willis | <ubottu> Plymouth manages the Ubuntu boot process | 23:46 |
| excelsiora | ... | 23:46 |
| excelsiora | ok | 23:46 |
| excelsiora | so I'll do the upgrade, then | 23:46 |
| Dr_willis | excelsiora, yes.. you should keep your system up to date.. | 23:47 |
| excelsiora | so why doesn't this get changed with sudo apt-get update? | 23:47 |
| Dr_willis | because the 2 commands do differnt things | 23:47 |
| neophos | How do I keep programs from locking the audio device (using 12.04)? Like I want two different programs playing sounds at the same time | 23:47 |
| Dr_willis | update - UPDATES the list of packages | 23:48 |
| excelsiora | has this changed in the past few years? | 23:48 |
| Dr_willis | excelsiora, err.. No | 23:48 |
| Dr_willis | its always been 'sudo apt-get update' 'sudo apt-get upgrade' | 23:48 |
| excelsiora | does the upgrade keep me on the bleeding edge? | 23:49 |
| Dr_willis | You sould update every so often, like befor you install anything | 23:49 |
| excelsiora | or do I need to sign up for a ppa or something? | 23:49 |
| Dr_willis | upgrade - upgrades the system to the latest versions... | 23:49 |
| Dr_willis | !apt | excelsiora \ | 23:49 |
