I had to ..... then I can give you the install instructions i used that worked [03:26] charles1: can i continue this with you in PM please? [03:26] does anyone know how to avoid a repeater and make the connection to the main access point, even though the repetear is closer, better strenght signal, and therefore it connects to it by default [03:26] samskiter: I have to go ....

[03:29] User_007: not a problem. wish I could have helped [03:29] ppa isn't going to magically make the drivers work [03:29] samskiter: but if you dont remove old nvidia drivers first it wont work [03:29] samskiter: so... why are you running on 32 bit?

[03:31] samskiter: the problem, besides optimus, is that you need to have the kernel headers in order for the driver to build [03:31] might* [03:32] Ben64: and does that not work for 32 bit? [03:32] samskiter: by the way when you update the kernel the driver will go away and you need to reinstall it again.... anoying [03:32] samskiter: you probably do not have them installed properly [03:33] charles1: huh? [03:33] Ben64: in those instructions i linked to, one of the steps was to install headers, is it done right there? [03:33] samskiter: no [03:33] every time I update kernel ... driver does not work for nvidia [03:33] charles1: because you don't have the headers installed properly either [03:33] charles1: how often will i be updating the kernel though? [03:33] ok [03:33] samskiter: if you have headers, it will always work [03:34] i have headers? [03:34] i thought i had them [03:34] samskiter: what is the output of "uname -r" [03:34] Ben64: 3.8.0-19-generic [03:34] hi. after I upgraded my server (do-release-upgrade) to 13.04 and restarted, after loggin in the server still shows the message "New release '13.04' available." - how can I get rid of that? [03:35] i have 3.2.0-40-generic-pae [03:35] samskiter: really? weird... anyway you want to do ... "sudo apt-get install linux-headers-generic" [03:35] charles1: you want "sudo apt-get install linux-headers-generic-pae" [03:35] not sudo apt-get install linux-headers-`uname -r` ? [03:35] samskiter: right, that's not good [03:36] can someone recommend a python IDE i can find in the USC?

I've installed nvidia-common and it didn't seem to make any difference D: [03:38] samskiter: did you see it build an nvidia driver? [03:38] Ben64: no [03:38] Ben64: but im in the middle of removing everything anyway [03:39] Ben64: I did that too .... just went to next promt no output [03:39] yea thats what mine did [03:39] i blame optimus then [03:39] ok [03:39] 319 driver + xrandr 1.4 makes it work [03:40] my nvidia is working ok [03:40] but i don't know how to do that on ubuntu [03:40] should i remove: "libkwinnvidiahack4" [03:40] it says its for kde [03:41] ok so now there is only that in my dpkg that references nvidia, should i follow charles1's instructions Ben64? [03:42] also charles1 i dont think this part is right: sudo add-apt-repository ppa:upubuntu-com/nvidia [03:42] upubuntu? [03:42] that will likely not work [03:43] oh ok [03:43] no wait [03:43] Ben64: what do you recommend then? [03:43] maybe i could just get neuveau working again instead? [03:43] (but i had issues with that) [03:44] sudo add-apt-repository ppa:upubuntu-com/nvidia is right it works [03:44] charles1, that ppa has no raring candidate, so it is useless for samskiter, you are on quantal. [03:44] do this ? https://wiki.ubuntu.com/Bumblebee [03:44] oh yes you are right [03:44] ah ok ill try bumblebee. i thought i needed the nvidia driver installed already.... [03:45] you might, i don't have a system with dual gpus [03:45] :S [03:46] xswat ppa has no raring candidate too, this ppa would be my 1st choise [03:46] !info nvidia-experimental-310 [03:46] nvidia-experimental-310 (source: nvidia-graphics-drivers-310-updates): Transitional package for nvidia-experimental-310.

[03:48] charles1: ok well i think the bumblebee thing decided what it wanted.... :/ [03:48] charles1: do you have quantus? [03:49] betz: what does "uname -a" say? how about "lsb_release -r" ? [03:49] * samskiter is going for reboot [03:49] Ben64: 13.04 [03:49] then you have 13.04 [03:50] Ben64: i download it here http://www.ubuntu.com/download/server/thank-you?distro=server&bits=64&release=lts [03:50] who got 13.04 [03:50] lots of people [03:50] Ben64: click on http://www.ubuntu.com/download/server 'get ubuntu 12.04 LTS' [03:51] betz: yeah now i'm downloading 12.04 [03:51] yeah, thats what i do [03:51] but when you install it it is 13.04 [03:51] installed it twice [03:51] and downloaded it again [03:52] betz: you must have done something wrong [03:52] if you botch of with nVidia drivers completely, you can just undo everything with instructions here: https://wiki.ubuntu.com/X/Troubleshooting/VideoDriverDetection.

WEIRD. rebooted. i now have the desktop cube animation when switching desktops but im still in crazy low resolution [03:56] samskiter: nvidia-settings [03:57] ok... [03:57] Ben64: there are like 5 tick boxes [03:58] Someone tell me how to get rid of pulseaudio without removing anything Ubuntu [03:58] Nothing_Much: sudo apt-get remove pulseaudio [03:58] It removes everything that Ubuntu needs [03:58] samskiter: there should be a section for resolution [03:58] Nothing_Much: does not [03:58] Dependencies and whatnot [03:58] It most certainly does [03:58] Question... My system just updated to 13.04 the other night and now things are no longer working. My weather app is gone, Skype no longer runs, and the shortcuts on my desktop open in the text editor rather than run the programs they are supposed to. Is there any way I can go back to 12.10 without having to wipe the drive and reinstall? 13.04 is a big ole FAIL. [03:58] Ben64: nope [03:59] Nothing_Much: pastebin what it's saying then [03:59] ubuntu-desktop is one of those things that it requires to remove [03:59] Nothing_Much: its just a meta-package, doesn't affect anything [04:01] samskiter: http://2.ben64.com/random_junk/nvidiasettings.png [04:01] Ben64: looks nothing like that. ill get you a screenshot haha === Tabstar is now known as Tabmow [04:02] hello ubuntu-users [04:02] i've try this http://askubuntu.com/questions/221835/installing-ubuntu-on-a-pre-installed-uefi-supported-windows-8-system [04:03] Ben64: http://imgur.com/cgtJTyt [04:03] lolll [04:03] but why it will boot on windows 8 only [04:03] no grub loaded [04:03] how do i rearrange the options in grub so that windows 7 is on top?

[04:06] LFurman, you can deal with those issues one by one [04:06] LFurman, did you try uninstall skype and reinstall with USC? [04:06] ok, first issue: Getting the desktop shortcuts to run the programs rather than open in a text editor. [04:07] LFurman, 12.10 is a fresh install. Do you have a separate home? [04:07] University of Southern California???? [04:07] Ben64: potential solution of just deleting a file, what do you think? http://askubuntu.com/questions/201123/screen-resolution-stuck-at-640x480-after-installing-bumblebee [04:07] I tried uninstalling skype and reinstalling it, but it still won't run. [04:07] LFurman, it just means they're not pointing to the binary executables. Just recreate them. [04:08] Ok, the big one is SecondLife. Even when I try to run the script file directly from a terminal window is says "Command not found" but I can do an LS and see the file right there. [04:09] Does your path have "." in it? Is it executable? [04:09] 13.04 is not handling my scripts correctly [04:09] everything ran fine until it upgraded to 13.04. [04:09] which fs is best for ssd? [04:10] LFurman, does it have executable permissions and are you the owner? [04:10] yes and yes. I'm the ONLY user on the machine. I even tried doing sudo and got the same response. [04:11] Ben64: i found where it goes wrong. See http://pastebin.com/kke0gwn8 [04:12] timonti, The standard partitioning is fine. [04:12] the url is the url from the download manually link [04:12] There needs to be a simple command or script to undo the latest update and let me go back to 12.10 which worked flawlessly for me. [04:12] when you click in a browser it is ok, i get a 12.04 md5, but when you wget it gets redirected [04:12] LFurman, you're not the only user beside root [04:13] I should be. [04:13] 13.04 has me about ready to swallow my pride and go back to Winblows. [04:14] LFurman: Try using a path when running the scipt [04:16] any ubuntu.com admin here? [04:18] he just wanted to rant [04:18] how do I reinstall my video drivers? [04:21] wilee-nilee so ext4 is good right? [04:22] timonti, Yeah, that's what I'm using, I just have optimize setup. [04:22] WXZ, if you botch of with nVidia drivers completely, you can just undo everything with instructions here: https://wiki.ubuntu.com/X/Troubleshooting/VideoDriverDetection. Search for 'scratch'. If you have Unity, you'll have to renable the plugin from ccsm. [04:23] makara: that's not what happened, I think I'm going to just find out my graphics card (somehow) then search for the driver for it [04:23] hi , guys , i use ubuntu in my laptop and xubuntu in my old PC ! i installed so much great packages in my ubuntu the i copied all .deb files from /var/cache/apt to my xubuntu ! now i wanna know how can i make a repository from this local directory of all .deb files in xubuntu ? [04:24] WXZ, lspci in the terminal will show the card [04:24] !aptoncd [04:24] APTonCD is a tool with a graphical interface which allows you to create one or more CDs or DVDs with all of the packages you've downloaded via apt-get or aptitude, creating a removable repository that you can use on other computers - See also !offline [04:24] WXZ: lspci |grep -i vga [04:24] WXZ, lspci | grep vga [04:24] makara: usr13: yup, found it [04:25] WXZ: Then go to nvidia.com and download the one for your system. [04:25] usr13: it's a radeon o.o [04:25] IdleOne: i tried aptoncd , but i didnt work , when i use media as a repository i got error all the time [04:25] dude, forgettabout it [04:25] WXZ: Ok, just use the redeon driver. [04:25] nVidia doesn't play ball [04:25] WXZ: (Which it should be using by default.) [04:26] usr13: I'm kinda doing stuff I shouldn't be [04:26] WXZ: Why is that? [04:26] usr13: because I'm running karmic [04:28] WXZ: EOL = April 30, 2011 [04:28] I know :| [04:29] WXZ, You might find a distro that is not end of life [04:29] WXZ: Why? [04:29] I have one, this is just a computer I keep at the 'rents place [04:29] your credibility has just gone through the floor [04:31] WXZ: You've "saddled a dead horse" [04:31] WXZ: I don't do that, (why would you?) [04:31] welp, I'm going to continue being stupid and loving it then [04:31] usr13: to save time [04:32] Time? [04:32] yes, a computer I use for 40 hours a year doesn't need upgrading [04:32] WXZ, By doing this you are wasting our time. [04:33] wilee-nilee: not necessarily, I learn and reapply the info whenever I get back to maverick, it's happened quite often [04:33] One can waste time, or spend time, but saving time is a fallacy (time can not be saved). ;) [04:34] yes it can, and just for a dollar a day... time will never have to go hungry again. [04:34] WXZ: Some of the most important things we do are a waste of time. [04:34] but not this conversation cuz I'm gonna go reinstall my drivers, yay [04:35] Okeydokey :) [04:36] hi all [04:36] this is the first time i've been here [04:37] lsdsjy: congradulations [04:37] thx~ [04:38] lsdsjy: Do you have an issue we can help you solve? [04:38] yes, it's about the conky [04:39] its background isn't transparent [04:39] my software center crashes as soon as I open it, so i purged it and reinstalled it, this is what came up during reinstallation http://pastebin.com/TxD80K9D -- does anyone have any idea what that is?

[04:40] that link is not owrking poncho [04:41] yitz_: i'm glad, but i have no idea how to fix it :D [04:41] Ponch0: sounds like something installed those two apps/files not via the software center [04:41] samskiter, This is a family friendly channel please do not swear. [04:41] yitz_: oh I do use synaptic sometimes. [04:42] It's all the apt-get stack [04:43] Ponch0: ...or you can cut to the chase and just use apt-get [04:43] I'm confused... [04:43] gry: i removed everything nvidia, then i installed bumblebee, this installed the nvidia things for me. this essentially fixed my problem and i had working graphics again, EXCEPT during my messing arround i followed the nvidia-settings dialogs advice and had run nvidia-xconfig. this created/replaced the /etc/X11/xorg.conf file. deleting that file was the key to getting my resolution back [04:43] I have to install those is what its saying? [04:43] Ponch0: I'd just ignore that [04:43] Installed Ubuntu 13.04 and now when I see the grub menu options and pick one. I see a cursor for a few seconds and then I am back in grub screen over and over and over. Any idea? I am using a Lenovo laptop [04:43] wilee-nilee: appologies, i did censor though! :P [04:43] yitz_: sure but I can't open the ubuntu software center hehe [04:44] It is a Lenovo 3000-G530 [04:44] Ponch0: sudo dpkg-reconfigure software-center [04:44] samskiter, ok [04:44] gry: just going to reboot and see if this persists. [04:44] samskiter, That is not acceptable just a heads up. ;) [04:44] samskiter, happy you got it, good luck [04:44] fair enough :) [04:44] gry: thanks, reporting back shortly [04:45] usr13: I just got those warnings again and it still crashed.

[05:37] for example combination Alt+F8 not working in my application because GNOME's short keys overwrite it [05:37] devjustforfun, try removing the hotkey's from the gnome system settings [05:38] if you open system settings and click on keyboard.. they are in the shrotcut's tab [05:38] i just need another context. for example when i'm in application preferable should be application context not a GNOM's [05:39] and if in application that short cut not used it should use GNOM's [05:39] devjustforfun, likely your application does not meet linux standards. [05:39] i'm not really sure if that's possible.. but i'll look into it for u... but a quick fix would be to just change the gnome shortcut to something else... or add ctrl to the key sequence in gnome..

[06:05] hello I am using ubuntu 12.04, how can I mount windows using a terminal?? please help [06:05] thats not bitcoin is it [06:06] because i heard they are going to flop [06:06] l057c0d3r: If you know where it's heading, short the market and make millions [06:06] just looking at trends in the market [06:06] Please focus on Ubuntu support and keep the chit chat in #ubuntu-offtopic [06:06] sorry, I keep PMing people, as IdleOne suggested, I'm chatty about this OT topic in #ubuntu-offtopic or #{the name of the topic ;p} [06:06] kaaka, the employees work on things such as marketing and some of the development just to make sure deadlines are met. community reports bugs, does volunteer support, and generally submits any fixes or proposals, artwork, etc [06:07] but still involves money to get in the market to short the market. [06:07] Fad-i: you can use the mount command. mount -t ntfs /dev/sdb1 (or whatever your drive is) [06:07] but this is not the channel for this topic so im done :-p [06:07] plase help [06:07] l057c0d3r, there is a #bitcoin channel here btw [06:07] Fad-i, what's up? [06:07] kaaka, /join #ubuntu-offtopic, we could chat there a bit [06:07] I am using ubuntu 12.04 how can I mount windows using a terminal? [06:07] Fad-i, install ntfs-3g and you are abe to browse/read/write ntfs [06:08] c/abe/able [06:08] wow, I didn't know there was an off topic forum [06:09] when I execute sudo ./x11rdp-o-matic.sh it tells me that: sudo: x11rdp-o-matic.sh: command not found | help me, please! [06:09] and the file it's there [06:09] Hello Everybody [06:09] who do i takl to about a ban on #ubuntu-offtopic? [06:10] I find Ubuntu 13 to be slower than 12.10 [06:10] Is it only me? [06:10] i haven't been able to join that channel for quite a while now... and i'm not really sure why... [06:10] l057c0d3r: #ubuntu-ops [06:11] nuwhvpn, try to use the full path, unless you are in the same folder as your script [06:11] raddy, I didn't notice that much of a difference, but I don't think it's any slower. [06:11] grant_: at least you didn't notice it be faster too, right? [06:11] OerHeks, when I use the full path, the script is executing but it wont "see" some files in the same folder [06:11] raddy: what exactly is slower? [06:12] AAA : browser startup, especially Google Chrome. [06:13] AAA : Login process after entering password. [06:13] AAA ; there is a very noticeable difference. [06:13] raddy: if it is only startup (a couple seconds) why debug? if it works fine after start [06:14] AAA : Google Chrome takes around 10 seconds to start as opposed to 4 seconds. [06:15] AAA : login process and Google Chrome was much faster in 12:10 [06:15] raddy: are you using beta chominium builds? [06:16] AAA : Ubuntu 13.04 was said to be much faster than 12x [06:16] AAA : Nope :(, i use Google Chrome, not Chromium [06:16] raddy: I think you are nit picking [06:16] AAA : :) [06:17] AAA : Let it be nit picking. [06:17] My Ubuntu 13.04 is so much faster I can actually use it now instead of using kubuntu instead, I get no lag (except for the start menu but I enabled all the extra search features) [06:17] there are 10 different reasons the speedc could be skeweed [06:18] ryandev: May be kubuntu had been slower to you, not Ubuntu 12.10 in my end. [06:18] Anyone around? having a problem with clicking files [06:19] MrEmerald: that is easily avoided with command line tools... [06:19] AAA: I installed Ubuntu 13.04 as an upgrade. [06:19] MrEmerald, is this a new development... [06:19] also have youj added a different mouse lately.. like one of the r.a.t. series of mice [06:19] I am still running 12.04 and has been happening for awhile, I run ubuntu dualboot with windows 7, just finally starting to use ubuntu more and more though [06:19] AAA : grant_: Ubuntu Contacts working in your end ? [06:19] using a wireless mouse that came with computer [06:20] I have noticed it happens after using the touchscreen [06:20] I will be clearer, I switched from ubuntu 12 to kubuntu because unity was not working out and neither was gnome; I did not want to use lxdm of xfce. I never used kde before I always did not like it, but it worked for me for 12 [06:20] ryandev: Is Ubuntu Contacts working in your end ? [06:21] raddy: haven't tried [06:21] Yes, I have no contacts, sounds about right :) [06:21] i see.. I'm sorry MrEmerald.. i dont know much about touchscreens and how they work in ubuntu.. however i did have a simular issues with my r.a.t. mouse. a simple addition to the xorg.conf file fixed the issue though [06:21] Online Accounts is not working in Ubuntu Contacts. [06:22] To be honest, I never used it so I can't say whether it works or not [06:22] I have online accounts setup and they aren't appearing in Ubuntu Contacts, if they were supposed to then it does not work [06:23] lo57c0d3r: what command? I am open to anything :) [06:23] I still can't mount windows using a terminal plz help [06:23] oh it was r.a.t. specific entry.. [06:23] Fad-i: install ntfs-3g and then use the mount command [06:24] Unless ubuntu ships with ntfs-g3 already [06:24] is there any tutorial for installing ubuntu windows 8 system that support uefi [06:24] I always though Windows Mounted automatically in recent versions [06:24] ryandev: No clue. The desktop environment may do that for you. The kernel doesn't [06:24] ?help uefi [06:24] looks like a nice mouse lol [06:24] step by step would be nice [06:24] ryandev: same here [06:24] yitz_ I am a beginner so can you plz be more specific how do i install it? [06:25] i will be using 12.10 [06:25] Fad-i: Nah.

While you wait, try searching https://help.ubuntu.com/ or http://ubuntuforums.org/ or http://askubuntu.com/ [06:42] whats the best ubuntu firewall [06:42] !ufw | Chamunks [06:42] Chamunks: 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. [06:42] for someone who is just getting into firewalling in ubuntu [06:42] well firewall is managed by ip-tables.. [06:43] iptables thats what I keep hearing about it. [06:43] but hang on and i will get you a good frontend [06:43] sorry d/c [06:43] i am using ubuntu 12.04 as server i also create dhcp on this for internet distribution the question is that how can i check the internet usage of particular ip on my ubuntu server [06:43] * tvw has quit () [06:43] i am using ubuntu 12.04 as server i also create dhcp on this for internet distribution the question is that how can i check the internet usage of particular ip on my ubuntu server [06:44] guys , load button in restore section in aptoncd wont work and i got error even after i install hal ! what should i do ?

If you can type lspci into the terminal and paste the result I might be able to find a report bug [07:50] fishcooker, start = first partition at the beginning of the disk [07:51] ok [07:52] My ubuntu server did not start after upgrade: I lost connection during upgrade to 13.04 , reconnect, run sudo dpkg --configure -a and sudo reboot but looks like it's not work, what to do next? I can reboot using rescue system, chroot into Ubuntu (raid +lvm in my case) [07:52] But need instructions... [07:53] Lord_, use "sudo apt-get install -f " to correct these problems [07:53] it is shipped with win8 pre installed OerHeks [07:53] ryandev: http://paste.ubuntu.com/5621795/ [07:56] how do I turn my fans on for my macbook pro [07:57] fishcooker1, i don't know if you just can proceed with any free space. [07:57] my gpu is at 71C 161F and the fans are not on [07:57] dn4 in the mactel pages there is a PPA for fancontrol > https://launchpad.net/~mactel-support/+archive/ppa [07:58] !mac [07:58] For help on installing and using Ubuntu on a mac, see: https://wiki.ubuntu.com/MactelSupportTeam/CommunityHelpPages === jesse2 is now known as jesse___ [07:58] hmmm.. it means that my win8 will not boot after delete those partition [07:59] Hello. I did a fresh install of 13.04 and it worked great for about a day. Then one day, for no reason my sound stopped working. Does anyone know what the deal is? [07:59] it seems [08:00] OerHeks: i've follow this tutorial http://askubuntu.com/questions/221835/installing-ubuntu-on-a-pre-installed-uefi-supported-windows-8-system but still no luck [08:00] am i missing something [08:00] ? [08:01] i do really install fresh ubuntu but .. [08:01] why win8 boot first.. no grub at all [08:01] fishcooker1, i would not just delete a partition, just decrease one with windows diskmanagment and use that space [08:02] oh you do not see grub2? hold shift @ boot to enter grub menu [08:02] i am using ubuntu 12.04 as server i also create dhcp on this for internet distribution the question is that how can i check the internet usage of particular ip on my ubuntu server [08:03] smart, try #ubuntu-server [08:03] jesse___, open terminal type alsamixer, be sure nothing is muted [08:03] i m using already server ubuntu 12.04 [08:04] shady_, http://askubuntu.com/questions/240234/how-do-i-get-an-atheros-ar9485-wireless-card-working That is all I can find that may be useful to you [08:04] Thank you [08:05] !bootinfo | fishcooker1 [08:05] fishcooker1: 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). [08:05] about my issue above: i fixed it by setting the default output sink [08:05] shady_: Has no answer but the person has the same problem so it may be worth keeping your eye on it [08:05] bazhang unfortunately, nothing appears to be muted andi still dont have sound. another strange thing is on the first day i used ubuntu, i had the speaker item on the systray in the top-corner, but now that appears to be gone [08:06] Thank you [08:06] Hi [08:06] OerHeks, thank you, can you provide some more info about chrooting - I have md0 with something not mounted without fs type declaration, md1 with /boot and md2 with / and also I need mount dev sys proc, right? [08:06] 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 [08:06] 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 [08:07] 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 [08:07] There's a bunch of spots in the middle of my screen where it pixels keep dropping from what is supposed to be displayed, and display the default Ubuntu background [08:07] Any ideas? [08:07] However, whenever that area of the screen is refreshed (i.e., scrolling in a browser,) it restarts [08:07] quick question, if i have a partition setup for my /home can i share it between 2 different versions of ubuntu, ie 12.04 and 13.04 both using the same /home partition? or will this create issues? [08:08] kairos, are you using binary video drivers? [08:08] l057c0d3r: I'm not sure [08:10] l057c0d3r: I'm using nVidia's driver [08:10] So, guys [08:10] that could be it.. [08:10] xrandr --output LVDS1 --brightness X.X does work [08:10] l057c0d3r: Is there a fix? [08:10] not to fluent with nvidia stuff though.. amd person myself [08:10] Ahd [08:10] Oh* [08:10] I installed Ubuntu 13.04 on the day it came out. Since that time, no software has identified itself as needing an upgrade. When i go to software updater, it says "Your system is up to date." I find this strange. [08:10] how do I bind this to fn keys? [08:10] jesse___: sudo apt-get update [08:10] Try that [08:11] jesse___, or sudo apt-get dist-upgrade would be a better option [08:11] Or that [08:11] Kairos: It downloads the headers but does not update any software [08:11] I shouldn't try to help people [08:11] How to chroot to ubuntu correctly? Can I use commands from this guide to mount dev proc sys? [08:11] http://www.exherbo.org/docs/install-guide.html [08:11] well more like sudo apt-get update && sudo apt-get dist-upgrade [08:11] l057c0d3r: actually it needs the update first [08:12] Yay, I was right [08:12] Sort of [08:12] l057c0d3r: It does not download any software [08:12] only headers [08:12] then its up to date [08:12] yep [08:12] thats what i would sau [08:12] Ben64: it hasnt updated a single piece of software since i installed it on the launch day [08:12] 5 days ago [08:12] :P [08:12] right [08:13] I didn't realize it was only 5 days === houser is now known as diverdude [08:13] Perhaps check to see how often it is set to automatically check for updates? [08:13] daily... [08:13] right.. i dont thinky any updates have been released in the last 5 days though [08:13] oh ok [08:13] jesse___: 5 days isn't that long for software updates [08:13] mine has not updated since launch day [08:13] Anyway, thanks all! [08:13] Np [08:13] yep no problem [08:14] and Ben64 heh yeah.. i realised that thats why i fixed :-p [08:14] sorry getting sleepy [08:14] I just got a few updates: kde-config-touchpad kubuntu-default-settings kubuntu-netbook-default-settings kubuntu-settings-desktop kubuntu-settings-netbook [08:14] plymouth-theme-kubuntu-logo plymouth-theme-kubuntu-text print-manager steam-launcher [08:14] but they are for kubuntu software [08:14] ahh.. well i run ubuntu gnome :-p [08:14] \exit [08:15] I was using kubuntu on 12 because unity did not work, but now I'm on unity because it works since upgrading :) [08:15] I'm using i3 [08:15] hi everyone. i just upgraded to 13.04, now the system does not shut down correctly anymore. at some point during the "shutdown splash screen" it just halts and waits there forever (at least, many many hours). however "# shutdown -h now" does work, seemingly without any issues. any idea on what it can do to make the "gui-menu-shutdown-button-thingy" work? [08:16] hi. i've managed to build the latest libdrm (version 2.4.44) from source. however, i wanted to build a deb out of it. i followed http://www.webupd8.org/2010/01/how-to-create-deb-package-ubuntu-debian.html but it stops at "dh_install: libdrm-dev missing files (usr/lib/lib*.a), aborting". I went into the debian/libdrm-dev/usr/lib directory of the debianized source and it is empty. any pointers on what should i do? I've been searching for solutions [08:16] for hours but to no avail. [08:16] mysticalzero: Please don't flood; use http://paste.ubuntu.com to paste; don't use Enter as punctuation. [08:17] quick question, if i have a partition setup for my /home can i share it between 2 different versions of ubuntu, ie 12.04 and 13.04 both using the same /home partition? or will this create issues? [08:17] mysticalzero, ignore FloodBot he gets jumpy :-p [08:17] There's a bunch of spots in the middle of my screen where it pixels keep dropping from what is supposed to be displayed, and display the default Ubuntu background [08:17] hammommah, the only issue i see it causing would be with settings on apps.. [08:17] if you install change something on an app in one vesrion it will change it in the other [08:18] would there be many differnces in the settings between versions do you think? [08:18] that and might cause an issue with diferent versions of an app.. if the os's have the same software but different version [08:18] other then that.. i don't really see an issue with it.. [08:18] anyone else any idea's [08:19] sounds safe to me though.. unless you have your home directory encrypted [08:19] might make home partition, back it up and give it a try [08:19] no encryption [08:20] i do know that you can wipe your home direcotry and all it will do is remove custom settings for your apps [08:20] so it should be safe [08:20] tyvm [08:21] hammommah: What do you mean by sharing it? What if you install an app on 12 and 13 uses the same settings file in your home folder? Or other common functions such as login scripts etc. === sergio is now known as Guest94319 === Thor^^ is now known as Thor [08:22] ryandev, right.. thats what i was saying to him.. i dont really see an issue with it [08:23] however like i said.. if you change a setting on one version.. it would change it in the other.. [08:23] and i did mention the fact that some settings files may be slightly different if both apps are not at the same version [08:23] but in general.. it should not cause a major problem that is not revertable [08:24] if all fails i'll just deklete 13.04 [08:24] ill let you know how i go [08:24] hammommah, i think u will be fine.. [08:24] but yeah.. let me know how it works out for u [08:24] l057c0d3r: My main question was what he meant by sharing it :P, if another folder is created in the home partition for another user, 13 may overwrite the .encryptfs folder [08:24] and ruin both operating systems? [08:25] ? [08:25] well he said no encryption was being used [08:25] ohhhh [08:25] or are you talking about permissions [08:25] i only have one user on this puter [08:25] and really.. its /home were talking about [08:26] i've cleared the home folder a few times.. in then past with other setups just to restore all default settings.. [08:26] both same name both same uid [08:26] and never had an issue [08:26] meh i'll give it a go, lol famous last words [08:26] hammommah, just back up anything you dont want to loose and you should be fine in my opinion.. and if soemthing does break.. u've got the backup [08:27] will do [08:27] i dont see anything in the /home folder breaking the whole system [08:27] I never noticed it was not encrypted, but you know... the future may enforce it [08:27] heh that was one of my first questions... is it encrypted.. [08:27] because yeah.. that could cause a lot of problems :-p [08:28] causing the loss of all data in the /home folder [08:29] no encryption, all good [08:29] Which I'm not guilty of doing before >_> [08:29] havent we all :) [08:29] lol [08:30] its ok ryandev.. you have to learn somehow.. and trial by error seems to be the best method for most linux users :-p [08:31] any help with LAMP installed but failure to run [08:31] ryandev backup first, then you can do what you want, trial and error [08:31] any help with LAMP installed but failure to run [08:32] tuffgong, what is failing to run [08:32] the apache mysql or php :-p [08:32] l057c0d3r, lamp [08:32] can u access it localy [08:32] l057c0d3r, yes lamp [08:33] yes through local host [08:33] might not have ports forwarding on your router.. which would make it so you can access from internal network but not somewhere else [08:33] hi [08:33] !details | tuffgong [08:33] tuffgong: Please give us full details. For example: "I have a problem with ..., I'm running Ubuntu version .... When I try to do ..., I get the following output: ..., but I expected it to do ..." [08:33] is there rpm -q version of apt-get on ubuntu to check the program is installed or not ? [08:33] always the best idea [08:33] tuffgong: lamp is a stack consisting of apache (http), mysql/mariadb and php, they are all seperate programs which work together [08:33] juggle apt-cache policy [08:33] heh MonkeyDust im good at digging :-p [08:33] which is not running? [08:33] juggle: dpkg --get-selections | grep package [08:34] so tuffgong u can access your website from 127.0.0.1 but not the ip address right [08:34] MonkeyDust, l057c0d3r though 127.0.0.1 [08:35] you need to have the ports on your router forwarded to that computer [08:35] ok thank you [08:35] that way when someone types in the ip address.. / web address you register.. the router willl forward that traffic to the computer with the server on it [08:35] ports 80 [08:35] and maybe others.. i would have to look up the others though [08:36] l057c0d3r, it tell me that This is the default web page for this server. [08:36] The web server software is running but no content has been added, yet. [08:36] right [08:36] because you have not added a website yet\ [08:36] or not in the right place [08:36] l057c0d3r, thats the outpput [08:36] the default is /var/httpd/www i believe [08:36] make your website and put it there for the default [08:37] tuffgong there's also #ubuntu-server [08:37] yes apache [08:37] sigh... [08:37] l057c0d3r: i think it's just /var/www actually [08:37] yes apache MonkeyDust [08:37] tuffgong what is your own language? [08:37] ajwakeman, might have changed.. on my old server it was in the httpd folder [08:37] l057c0d3r, what about mysql [08:38] tuffgong, that is a database [08:38] if you write a web page in php.. u can access the mysql through that.. for use with forums ext.ext. [08:38] * l057c0d3r is wondering how much tuffgong knows about web site development.. [08:38] sorry.. out of line [08:38] l057c0d3r: well i think it is, i know in debian wheezy apache defaults to /var/www [08:39] l057c0d3r, though its database but i fail to access mysql [08:39] as does rhel [08:39] tuffgong first do some reading, to get familiar with apache and stuff, I guess you don't know what you want, or what you are doing [08:39] well, i wouldn't suggest to someone to run apache if they're new at it, it can be dangerous [08:39] at least not running it publicly [08:40] ben64 really [08:40] Ben64: indeed, not publically [08:40] oh.. publicly yeah.. [08:40] heh.. yeah i tested and tested and tried penetration testing ext on my server before it went live [08:40] and then learned more about ip-tables because of it :-p\ [08:40] and file permissions [08:41] MonkeyDust, not that brother first of i was in need with mysql so that i can create tables with their relationship but when i run command in terminal its tells me that mysql nit installed [08:41] I bought hosting :) I'm scared of running services on my home network [08:41] But privately to get the feel apache is pretty much working out of the box [08:41] tuffgong, when you type mysql in term what do u get [08:41] i recently had to set up nginx+uwsgi+python and that was a real learning exp. [08:42] MonkeyDust, cause i know LAMP package contain all three apache as web server [08:42] tuffgong: But do you know what they are? [08:43] ryandev, yes i know [08:43] l057c0d3r, mysql [08:43] The program 'mysql' is currently not installed. You can install it by typing: [08:43] sudo apt-get install mysql-client-core-5.5 [08:43] oh.. so it does not have the client installed [08:44] wait the lamp package does not install the client? [08:44] well i guess it is a server package [08:44] l057c0d3r, how do i install the client [08:44] with the code it gave you [08:44] sudo apt-get install mysql-client [08:45] blah command not code but u get what im saying i hope [08:45] l057c0d3r, see PM [08:46] sudo apt-get install mysql-workbench to work out of the terminal [08:46] l057c0d3r, i cant paste them here those output see them in that new dialog window [08:47] Hi all.

[09:43] it might have locked the area needed by gdebi [09:43] brb [09:43] u can check this by trying to start synaptics [09:44] it wont work either.... if this is the case [09:44] it will work [09:44] and i need to be root to launch it, password works on synaptic [09:44] but not on gdebi [09:44] hmm.. [09:45] ill try to reboot anyway [09:45] would try loign out and back in [09:45] or rebooting [09:45] if that does not work i dont know [09:45] because i've never had a problem with gdebi.. besides installing binary driver manually [09:45] heh use dpkg for that.. learned the hard way [09:45] and he's gone [09:45] sigh [09:46] hi guys, I have an ubuntu instance that gets an error at `sudo apt-get update` - anyone else have this?

[10:08] are there any errors that pop up. might give you a clue as to why its not working [10:08] no, i didnt [10:08] hi i have setup 1 gb of swap in my laptop (4gigs ram). Is that wrong? I dont use hibernate I will face problems? [10:08] give it a try.. [10:08] couldnt even find the app name [10:09] but its in your app list [10:09] hmm [10:09] i would start by trying draftsight [10:10] yeah i did that, lol [10:10] maybe some of them pages i posted will help out [10:10] khaos01, thats fine === Maax is now known as xxaM [10:11] its in the app list, altho i did not find it in the "installed" section on software manager [10:11] yep im trying something [10:11] i dont know.. never heard of that app till tonight.. and if it did install some stuff but didnt record it to dpkg ext... i would have to do lots of research on how to remove all traces of it [10:11] bazhang thanks because I heard that the minimum is at least the equal of the physical ram [10:11] khaos01, thats a pretty old guideline [10:12] ok bazhang thank you. I plan to install ubuntu in another laptop with 8gigs [10:12] 1 gb swap is ok for 8gb ram? [10:12] khaos01, if u dont use hibernate then swap may not even be needed with that much ram [10:12] wdonkey, trouble running draftsight? is that some non-ubuntu 3rd party app? [10:12] but 1gb should be fine [10:12] hello, i am having trouble making sound work over hdmi with an intel gm45 (ubuntu 13) [10:12] any tips ? [10:12] bazhang: of course its some non-ubuntu 3rd party app [10:12] but its a nice one [10:13] wdonkey, why the of course [10:13] thank you [10:13] i wouldnt have all that trouble if it was in the repo [10:13] hi guys, I have an ubuntu instance that gets an error at `sudo apt-get update` - anyone else have this? It outputs: Reading package lists... Error! And nothing else === khaos01 is now known as khaos [10:13] wow.. i just noticed something.... after upgrading to 13.04 and gnome 3.8 and removing cario-dock.. my battery life is a lot better then it used to be [10:14] been on this computer 5 hours now... and it just now started to beep at 12% battery [10:14] Hey all [10:14] ak5, so it does not tell u what the error was [10:14] l057c0d3r: no, neither do apt logs, nor the -V option [10:14] l057c0d3r: would it be the same just to run unity or a flat gnome gui ? [10:15] l057c0d3r: this guys has the same problem as I do apparantly (I tried what he tried) http://askubuntu.com/questions/259114/reading-package-lists-in-update-apt-get-ubuntu-12-04-vps [10:15] wdonkey, not sure what your asking me :-p [10:15] i run ubuntu gnome [10:16] ak5 i see [10:16] l057c0d3r: any pointers? [10:16] what i meant is : did you need to remove cairo-dock or just running lets say unity would have done the same [10:16] i have also noticed that since i got rid of cairo-dock.. my ram usage is a lot better now.. [10:16] used to be at 30% with a catch of 80% after a day [10:17] on this setup three days in.. i got 18% program and 23 cache [10:17] much better.. i take it cairo-dock has a memory leak [10:17] ak5 umm.... well i might be able to find something [10:17] l057c0d3r: please do, I am stumped as is everyone else I talked to [10:18] l057c0d3r: you need any more info, just ask :) [10:19] how exactly do you completely remore cairo-dock !? i tried once but was still able to open a session in it [10:20] wdonkey, via cli? purge? or was that the package manager [10:20] packagemanager [10:21] hello, I need help with 13.04 and sound through HDMI. I installed the mainline 3.9.0 kernel and HDMI is in the sound options list, but no sound comes out when I select it. Ideas? [10:24] xocolatl, intel audio chip ? [10:24] BluesKaj: I don't know but I'll gladly run any command for you === qos is now known as qos|away [10:24] BluesKaj: it's a laptop, if that changes anything [10:25] xocolatl, where was the kernel from? a PPA? [10:25] wdonkey, i did a sudo apt-get remove --purge cairo-dock && sudo apt-get autoremove --purge [10:25] ak5, try this and see what happens sudo apt-get install -f [10:25] bazhang: http://kernel.ubuntu.com/~kernel-ppa/mainline/v3.9-raring/ [10:25] l057c0d3r: I have tried that, nothing happens :) [10:25] then a sudo rm -rf /var/lib/apt/lists/* [10:26] then a sudo apt-get update [10:26] thanks [10:26] ok trying again in that order [10:27] oh so u removed the lists already [10:27] u can also see what happens with a sudo apt-get check [10:27] ext [10:27] im guessing here btw [10:27] l057c0d3r: I am running $ sudo apt-get install -f && sudo rm -rf /var/lib/apt/lists/* && sudo apt-get update just to be sure [10:28] l057c0d3r: I also just created this post: http://ubuntuforums.org/showthread.php?t=2140944&p=12627962#post12627962 [10:28] where are located the installed applications?

[10:33] l057c0d3r: thats the thing this is a relatively new ubuntu install [10:34] i'm trying to think [10:34] i know there is aptitude.. [10:34] but i dont know where to go with that for u [10:34] I didn't touch apt besides sudo apt-get update && sudo apt-get upgrade && sudo apt-get install lamp-server^ [10:34] and i was thinking about dkpg reocnfigure of atp [10:34] sigh.. but im tired right now..

[10:38] Segmentation fault (core dumped) [10:38] while im here i've got a question, on my previous laptop, a T61p runing ubuntu, the CPU kept on throttling [10:38] is that bad for heat ?? [10:39] i hate to say it.. but after all this work it might just be easier to backup personal stuff and reinstall [10:39] wdonkey, if its throttling its probably overheating [10:39] i felt that having the cpu running full blast kept the temp lower than them going waaaa woooo waaaa wooo waaaa woo everytime [10:39] u could install lm-sensors.... and type sensors to see the heat [10:39] l057c0d3r: ouch [10:39] err the temp [10:39] that means taking my website offline, argh [10:39] the laptop died [10:40] oh wow sorry ak5 [10:40] but i was wondering if its a bad sign [10:40] how long have you had this install [10:40] l057c0d3r: 1 week or so [10:40] yeah anytime the cpu starts to throttle its not good [10:40] ak5 thats odod [10:40] blah odd [10:40] I can do it, its just really annoying and the reason I chose ubuntu over my favorite distro was the non-rolling release cycle :( [10:41] hi all. I am really struggling with Pulse Audio on 13.04. using pavucontrol i can see my yetti mic, however, using the default ubuntu sound controller, i can only see the mic as an audio output and not as an input? [10:41] what happened to nautilus? [10:41] so - it is supposed to break less often ^_^ [10:41] moppers: its called progress [10:41] it's slower now because it keeps searching, and I can't find tree view [10:41] moppers: http://www.webupd8.org/2013/04/get-nautilus-34-features-back-in-ubuntu.html [10:42] ok , xocolatl , choose the deb that's right for your machine, https://code.launchpad.net/~ubuntu-audio-dev/+archive/alsa-daily/+packages [10:42] wdonkey, thanks, is there no other way to revert the old one? [10:43] im clueless to say the truth [10:43] you just happened to have a question i just googled for myself because im a fond user of the F3 button in nautilus [10:43] ak5, can you remember what you were doing before it broke [10:43] because that is an odd issue u are having.. where u dont even get an error message [10:43] so raring finally fixes task switching - the only remaining problem i had with unity - then they break the file manager. haha! [10:44] i've never seen it before.. [10:44] seems tonight i have seen a lot of issues that in my years of using ubuntu i have never seen before [10:44] BluesKaj: I guess the one ending in -raring? [10:44] hi there. cpufreq-utils states my cores are running at a max of 2.4, which should be the regular CPU freq (with turbo boost to 3.3 I believe). How can I enable it to run at its max freq of 3.3 on demand? [10:44] l057c0d3r: well this other guy on askubuntu had it too [10:45] i might go back to 12.04 and use a different desktop. i can use unity with scroll switching but not at the cost of the file manager [10:45] BluesKaj: seems to be i386 but I guess that's okay [10:45] cant say i really notced the features they took out of nautilus being missing. ;) [10:45] and - I shit you not - I was just managing the website - no package installs or any other interaction with apt after I installed mysqlclientutils [10:45] hrm maybe thunarr could be used wit raring? [10:45] froginvasion: it should handle that automatically [10:46] which worked fine yesterday [10:46] :/ [10:46] !info rox-filer [10:46] rox-filer (source: rox): A simple graphical file manager for X11. In component universe, is optional.

[10:46] xocolatl, wait a sec . think that's the wrong link , sorry [10:46] Dr_willis, well i used split pane, and tree view to move files around [10:47] Ben64: so would I think too, but I have no way of knowing sure, especially since I get this output stating 2.3 as max -> http://pastebin.com/Ujvxf8jA [10:47] moppers, i use to use split pain. ;) but theres other file managers out that are dual pane by default i tend to use these days. [10:47] wdonkey, well i can't find his source code so it would be probably easer to change file manager i guess. maybe pcman or thunarr or something [10:47] or - dare I say it? - mc [10:47] sigh.. i just use tabs [10:48] to move files around [10:48] open two tabs === isbric_ is now known as isbric [10:48] hilight the ones i want to move in one.. copy them in the other [10:48] thunarr doesn't connect to network shares thogh [10:48] theres that ppa for a tweaked nautilus that was mentioned. [10:48] that and there is the move to feature [10:49] I do belive you can drag/drop from one file manager window to the tab of the 2nd file manager.. if using tabs [10:49] that nautilus tweak works awesome [10:49] ak5, im really sorry for your problems.... from the searching i've done.. its very rare.. and im not sure what caused it.. but it looks bad [10:49] is there any way to see what packages were explicitly installed if I don't have access to apt/aptitude [10:49] nemo looks OK [10:49] ak5 dpkg -l | sell [10:49] will show u all installed packages [10:49] what a beautifull day outside [10:50] BluesKaj: yeah, it doesn't like that package. "Error! The dkms.conf for this module includes a BUILD_EXCLUSIVE directive which does not match this kernel/arch. This indicates that it should not be built." [10:50] well more like installed apps.. [10:50] oh it supports dropbox too [10:50] l057c0d3r: what is this "sell" you are piping to? [10:50] nemo isnt that the nat fork in mint? [10:50] ahh sorry [10:50] how to mount nfs directory [10:50] its early and im tired [10:51] dpkg -l | less [10:51] got it [10:51] l057c0d3r, yes it is [10:51] xocolatl, yeah I mistakenly saved the wrong link , sorry [10:51] l057c0d3r: do you know where I can find the explicite installs? [10:51] np [10:51] like what you installed. [10:51] how to mount nfs directory? [10:51] not what was already installed [10:52] guno you have to export it on the remote machine [10:52] i still didnt get rid of cairodock [10:53] !nfs [10:53] nfs is the network file system. See https://help.ubuntu.com/community/SettingUpNFSHowTo for information on installing and configuring NFS. [10:53] MonkeyDust: it is exported, i just want to know what command i have to use on my machine to mount that directory. [10:53] u did a sudo apt-get remove --purge cairo-dock && sudo apt-get autoremove --purge [10:53] and cairo-dock is still there? [10:53] hmm check into deborphan [10:53] ill try it again [10:53] deborphan !? [10:54] i wish i was better than i am [10:54] will runing a fileserver make me more skillfull ? [10:54] l057c0d3r, still where? [10:54] what linux player has a thumbnail view of the playlist? vlc doesn't appear to be, thanks [10:54] might be easier to install gtkorphan [10:54] its a graphical front end.. [10:54] but u can install just deborphan [10:54] ok all, thanks for help with Nautilus: I will swap out the file manager with whatever does what 3.4 did and also supports plugins like dropbox and ubuntuone. [10:54] wdonkey: Depends on you definition of "running a webserver". Most likely, that just means "install samba/nfs/ftp/whatever and being done". [10:55] then do a sudo deborphan | less... look that list over to make sure there is nothing in it you need to keep [10:55] guno try mount -t nfs -t means type [10:55] wdonkey: fileserver, not webserver. [10:55] then do a deborphan | xargs sudo apt-get remove -u --purge [10:55] which probably means i end up back on 12.04 LTS :) [10:55] that is if there is nothing u want to keep in the list [10:55] gtkorphan is the front end for it.. and lets you select what to remove from the list of orphaned packages [10:56] MonkeyDust: thanks [10:57] moppers, nemo is a good one if u dotn like where natty went [10:57] BluesKaj: google is not being my friend :( [10:57] gry: Possibly clementine may have a thumbnail view, I'm not certain though [10:57] l057c0d3r, does it work with ubuntuone? [10:58] ? === zz_Karbowiak is now known as Karbowiak [10:58] u tell ubuntu one what folders to sync it syncs them [10:58] i didn't think the file manager mattered in that state [10:58] l057c0d3r, in nautlius 3.4: right click -> ubuntoone submenu is there [10:59] oh.. guess i never noticed [10:59] well i suppose i can move my stuff from Uone to dropbox.... [10:59] why [10:59] well if u want.. but u can manage it from the ubuntuone app as well [10:59] because nemo has a dropnox clinet [10:59] dropbox folder in home.. or ubuntu one folder in home.... [10:59] *plugi [10:59] *plugin, sorry [10:59] why does it really need a plugin? [10:59] if anyone has experience with USB mic's, i have added http://askubuntu.com/questions/287185/usb-audio-13-04-yetti-blue-pro-microphone . Off to dinner [11:00] Dr_willis, so i don't have to keep copying things into Ubuntuone folder and having them sync to devices with SSDs that would fill up [11:01] mopper [11:01] xocolatl,, this is the patch you need , oem-audio-hda-daily-dkms_0.201304261252~raring1_all.deb [11:01] or get synced to places i dont want them synced: i just sometimes need to r-click, share something without syncing it [11:01] i have ubuntuone set to sync my pictuers folder and my documents folder to there website [11:01] set in the ubuntuone client.. [11:01] Ubunt One can sync folders outside of the U1 folder. [11:01] and it uploads them automatically to the server [11:02] i also have a ubuntuone client on my phone [11:02] not sure if Dropbox on ubuntu can do that. i tend to just keep my wallpapers in my U1 dir.

When i try to select something from the menu some timnes it works ans some other not. i try the same thing in windows and it works fine. do you have any idea why it is happening? [11:15] l057c0d3r, gnome is nice tho [11:15] disk write blocker, or something [11:15] hammommah, yeah.. after themeing it.. tweaking it.. and tons of customizations.. yean its great >-p [11:16] iraklis, have you tried stackoverflow? that's a very toolchain specific question, they are good at that [11:16] moppers: its a pretty straight forward process, if im an idiot, you could say the apps are idiotproof [11:16] hi guys [11:16] l057c0d3r, soooo many customizations and tweaks available for gnome [11:16] i just install ubuntu [11:17] how do you make ubuntu secure and fast [11:17] i am using it on asus eepc [11:17] its already secure and fast [11:17] wdonkey, what, javafx? [11:17] BlazingSun, theres no magic tricks.. its allready decently secure. [11:18] moppers: testdisk is for sure [11:18] hammommah, heh most the customizations i use are built by me... when i fix them copletely im going to upload them for the plublic [11:18] blah public [11:18] moppers: i google it nut no luck.. thats why i tryid irc [11:18] is it possible to use ssh with login and password in one command without waiting for a password prompt ? like: "ssh -l loginname 10.0.0.1" but also use password as a parameter [11:18] wdonkey, oh that, i was saying that forensics needs more rigor, so that article was misleadingly titled [11:19] moppers: i see [11:19] yeah they do [11:19] iraklis, try stackoverflow.com [11:19] elkng: not with a password, but you almost certainly want to explore using key based authentication [11:19] theres even counter forensik stuff available [11:19] l057c0d3r, very nice [11:20] Guys i have a server with a hard disk of 240 GB. [11:20] Now I install ubuntu system, please advise how to partition a disk that-be to avoid future problems with safety and performance!

[11:21] node in postgre sql cluster [11:21] that stay after pgpool server [11:21] corehook: what folder will be used most? [11:22] BlazingSun, might need to install binary drivers for your system's video card to help [11:22] i think /data ? (for postgresql ) [11:22] that or your pc may be to old to run unity well [11:22] there are also kbuntu xbutnu and lubuntu [11:22] so is recomended create dedicated partition for postgresql data ? [11:22] each slimmer and faster pregressively in that order [11:22] moppers: no luck.. it has something to do i think with the mouse stuff.. because it so weird.. i cant select.. try again and i can.. its not only menu its everything dropdown select list select... thank a lot for your time [11:22] how can i find the "fun" chat room?

[11:28] Say I want to use UNetbootin to create a bootable drive but my laptop has no working usb ports - can I use it or something else to create a bootable SD card or is that down to hardware compatibility at the BIOS level? [11:28] and there is crossover.. but its built off wine [11:28] i decided to install and launch cloudsim. but it gives me this: http://paste.ubuntu.com/5622298/ [11:28] yashh, do you mean run them or open them? [11:28] yashh, virtual box with windows perhaps [11:28] but myself.. i find wine to work great for most things [11:28] iKernel, you cn use it on sd. or you can 'dd' the iso to the sd. [11:28] run em [11:28] yashh, so.. why not use wine? [11:29] Dr_willis, I'm concerned that my laptop probably isn't advanced enough to boot from SD but only I can determine that [11:29] Unable to update the OS 10.04 [11:29] yashh: crossoveroffice, cedega, based on wine, not free [11:29] iKernel, some can some cant.. hard to tell.

[11:30] ajith: can you pastebin the error please [11:30] yashh, you can try pre-configured wine setups like playonlinux.com [11:30] but most the time the games still run fine [11:30] okay wait [11:30] Alright well bbs [11:30] that and steam does have a native linux client now [11:30] yashh, which game is it btw? [11:30] oh ok [11:31] quake 3 [11:31] what game exactly are you trying to play.. i play skyrim... wow.. everquest II diablo III from wine with no issues [11:31] Err. theres quake3 native clients for linux.. i recall.

[11:31] yashh, quake3 is supposed to work :) [11:31] well after following some of the guides on the winehq website [11:31] i decided to install and launch cloudsim. but it gives me this: http://paste.ubuntu.com/5622298/ [11:31] yashh: isn't there a quake3 open source engine that reads the wad files you have [11:31] i know guys i used to play [11:32] now it shows open gl error [11:32] theres that web-browser based quake3 also i thought..

[11:42] or them :-p [11:42] how ? [11:42] yashh: then why did you install nvidia-current if you have no nvidia graphics card? [11:42] he is not there [11:42] sudo apt-get install amsn [11:42] sudo apt-get install skype [11:43] BlazingSun, leave him a message.

[11:44] yashh: yes, but why did you install it in the first place? [11:44] oh, you installed nvidia-current on Intel?

[11:45] nyuszika7h: you just need to enable the partner repo [11:45] oh, partner [11:45] but i didnt think he would install with out reading first [11:45] yashh: you need to think a little before running random commands [11:45] oh good.. it was not my fault :-) [11:46] you're right [11:46] yashh: you should have thought "wait...i only have an intel gpu, so I don't need an nvidia driver" [11:46] * cfhowlett ... as RR said "Trust - but verify."

It has 2 gfx cards - intel 4000 and nvidia gt630 (or 635 depending on which model i buy). My question is if anybody has experience with this laptop or Nvidia Optimus supprt in linux?! I mean will I get the cards working properly with power savings as in windows where they switch from interlto nvidia depending on rendering load?! [12:35] cloneG: have you tried installing nvidia-current ? [12:35] yep it crashes [12:35] yes to me crashes too [12:36] cloneG: is this using 12.04? [12:36] 13.04 [12:36] saw one tutorial once [12:36] :D [12:36] Nvidia : could not open the device file /dev/nvidia0 8input/output error) [12:36] about that nvidia shit [12:36] -.- [12:36] funch: Please don't flood; use http://paste.ubuntu.com to paste; don't use Enter as punctuation. [12:36] yeah boairc , optimus requires the bumblebee app/driver to work and then it's not always stable afaik [12:36] yes 12.04 [12:37] BluesKaj: so it would run by default using only intel4000 and have the optimus disabled? so optimus wont consume power at least? [12:37] /var/log/xorg.0.log says failed to initialize the NVIDIA GPU at PCI 1:0:0 [12:39] boairc, there are more knowledgeable ppl , than I , about the fiber points of using bumblebee on optimus gpu setups .. [12:40] http://www.thefanclub.co.za/how-to/ubuntu-amd-catalyst-install if only nvidia had something similar.... [12:40] cloneG: nvidia has a proprietary driver on their site that has a relatively straight forward linux install [12:40] a nightmare [12:40] I haven't used it in 6 months, but it worked when I tried [12:41] my volume indicator has gone [12:41] my volume indicator has gone === qos is now known as qos|away === qos|away is now known as qos [12:43] the system/administration/additional drivers path pointed in the help.ubuntu.com/community/BinaryDriverHowto/Nvidia ...might refer to an older ubuntu version, where is that path located in ubuntu 12.04? [12:44] cloneG, use locate to search [12:45] cloneG: this is likely the driver version you want http://www.nvidia.com/object/linux-display-amd64-295.49-driver.html [12:46] if you can bother using the nvidia installer [12:46] thankyou [12:47] what about cuda? [12:47] till what 10.04 iwill supported and will get updates??/ [12:47] would it give me the opengl back? [12:47] boairc: afaik in nvidia's latest beta driver there's support for optimus under linux [12:47] ajith: 2013 for the desktop, 2015 for server [12:48] cloneG: not sure, dont have an 8800, don't have details [12:48] ajith: more specifically, 8 more days until support for 10.04 desktop ends [12:48] rupert: you have a link with details by any chance? [12:49] boairc: http://www.phoronix.com/scan.php?page=news_item&px=MTM0NzE that's the news article [12:50] nvidia page lists it under cuda supported cards... [12:50] ajith: 10.04 Becomes EOL on 9th May for Desktop versions [12:50] thank you [12:50] but I dont know how to install cuda and why [12:51] 12.10 should become eol [12:53] the driver you point me to its a display driver... it seems there are two different types of drivers display drivers and graphic card drivers am I right [12:53] Cuda is usually for video encoding [12:54] what does that mean? [12:54] I only want my openGl back [12:54] I cant even run blender! [12:54] so install the driver then? [12:54] what does opengl has to do with cuda? [12:54] cloneG: you running 64 bit [12:54] nouveau [12:54] as far as I understand, CUDA is a technology it isn't something you just install [12:54] yes 64 bit [12:55] where is sftp-server ? i cant fin dit in /bin/sftp-server [12:55] and when I install ubuntu packages I lose graphic environment [12:55] cloneG: I could have sworn I linked you to the nvidia driver binary specifically supporting your card... [12:55] I also tried installing drivers from nvidia site same result === Jikan is now known as Jikai [12:56] yes you did and I thanked you [12:56] cloneG: you need nvidia propietary driver then ia32 to support 32 bit progrAms. [12:56] cloneG: not looking for thanks, I just want to be sure that you actually tried that === Jikai is now known as Jikan [12:57] I didnt try that one yet but I am not much hopefull since I ve been trying so many nvidia drivers [12:57] NVIDIA-Linux-x86_64-310.44.run [12:57] NVIDIA-Linux-x86_64-304.88.run [12:57] anew: install openssh-server and you will get an sftp server [12:57] NVIDIA-Linux-x86_64-310.14.run [12:57] cloneG: that driver is in the repos [12:58] actionparsnip shouldnt there already be one if i am connected via sftp ? [12:58] NVIDIA-Linux-x86_64-319.12.run [12:58] thats why I also downloaded them from nvidia...I thought they might need to be the same [12:58] cloneG, that's an experimental driver [12:58] they aren't [12:59] anew: yes, it's the ssh service [12:59] do I need to blacklist nouveau with the one you gave me Uberman? [12:59] cloneG: you don't need to manually download anything, the packages deal with that [12:59] http://winscp.net/eng/docs/faq_su i'm trying to follow this tut to set up sftp so i can edit files with winscp but cant get it working. i edited /etc/sudoers [12:59] but not really sure after that why it's not working? [12:59] like he already has actio [13:00] ActionParsnip,^ [13:00] I even tried forcing versions via synaptic...because my system was perfectly working after latest kernel upgrade.... [13:00] same result [13:00] anew: just transfer to home, then cp it over [13:00] transfer every single file i want to edit to home ? [13:00] wouldnt it be easier to do what the tut says / [13:01] anew: if you are editting, just use nautilus and mount the share [13:01] I use rc.local to start certain process. Where can i stick in the shutdown for that process? [13:02] the shutdown? [13:02] actionparsnip i'm using windows to connect to my server [13:02] oh, for processes started in rc.local? [13:03] yes [13:06] #freenode [13:08] codepython777, when do you need the process to shutdown? how would the system decide that? [13:08] anew: i see [13:08] actionparsnip well now i'm hearing that i shouldnt be sftp into my server [13:08] so i dunno [13:09] compdoc: I need to call a shutdown just as soon as the system gets a "shutdown" signal. I should be able to cleanup my mess in a second. [13:10] hello. sorry for my bad english. all file managers in my computer opens before two seconds, and that is slow...what can I do? I use ubuntu 13.04 [13:11] anew: is the sftp only accessed over LAN? [13:11] codepython777, hmm, maybe a script placed in /etc/init.d or /etc/init would be better. you can decide which runlevels the process would run in, and when it should terminate [13:11] actionparsnip no, well the server is far away if that's what u mean [13:11] backups <3 [13:12] anew: gah, then you could make a group and add your userto it and the current owner, then change the owner group to that group [13:12] please, help. all file managers in my computer opens before two seconds, and that is slow...what can I do? I use ubuntu 13.04. sorry for my bad english [13:14] jid9191 install preload [13:14] bleh i guess i'll just nano all OS files i want instead of sftp. actionparsnip one more noob question, i will be able to edit my website files with sftp wont i? or will i have to nano those also ? [13:14] MonkeyDust, i have installed it [13:14] anew: yes, you can upload new versions etc [13:16] jid9191 http://paste.ubuntu.com/5622582/ [13:16] anyone use autofs? [13:18] Hallo all :) === raven_ is now known as Reaven === Reaven is now known as Chris-Magentium [13:19] anything better than nano ? [13:19] anew define 'better'?

[13:21] Hello, since my update to 13.04 I have a problem with my two monitor configuration. Whenever I connect the second monitor something crashes. Currently none of my windows have decorations and there is no kind of menu anywhere. Anyone can give me a hint what to (re-) start to regain control? [13:21] Hi Lobosque, i Recommend backing everything up from your install and performing a fresh install of 13.04. I found that .10 to .04 releases dont work to well with upgrades [13:21] anew: vi has a tonne of functionality but its not a simple as nano [13:21] MonkeyDust, thanks, I am going to reboot to check if that worked [13:21] vi = vim ? [13:21] anew: kinda ;) [13:21] fedcab, are you running Compiz? [13:21] vim = Vi IMproved [13:22] yes, I am [13:23] Okay, have you then tried pressing ALT+F2 and typing config --replace [13:23] bom dia [13:23] compdoc: does it make sense to use upstart for this?

[13:34] I quick shutdown my laptop and my sqlite database is corrupted [13:34] IS there anyway I can run some disk-fix utility in hope to get something back? [13:34] MonkeyDust: same time to open, but thanks for trying === jevans is now known as jvns === Onixs_ is now known as Onixs [13:36] hrolf: I would look first for a utility for sqlite images. Unless there is corruption at the filesystem level, there probably isn't much that the ubuntu filesystem utils can do for you :( [13:37] paddymahoney: sqlite images? [13:38] hrolf: yeah, I suspect that your sqlite database has an associated file, or files that it stores to? [13:38] paddymahoney: Yes there is one file. Only one. [13:39] hrolf: unfortunately that hits the extent of my knowledge of how sqlite is persisted. I would probably find #sqlite [13:40] laravel [13:40] paddymahoney: Okay thanks. [13:40] hrolf: hope you fix your issue! it stinks to lose data :( [13:41] paddymahoney: Not really important data. [13:41] hrolf: good... [13:41] paddymahoney: Just a list of what I had downloaded. Databse of DownThemAll extensin in Firefox. [13:42] Though there were some paused downloads, which I need to recover [13:42] hrolf: ah. when it says that something is corrupted, could it be that the version of sqlite that you are using has changed? [13:43] paddymahoney: Nope. The issue is with the database file. I'm querying but not getting all the data back. [13:44] paddymahoney: Did an integrity check in sqlite itself and it showed there were some errors. Some index errors etc. Which I really don't get. [13:45] hey all [13:45] anybody know anything about configuring BIND/WEBMIN at all? [13:46] !webmin [13:46] webmin is no longer supported in Debian and Ubuntu. It is not compatible with the way that Ubuntu packages handle configuration files, and is likely to cause unexpected issues with your system. [13:46] what do i need to install to get standard ubuntu desktop? "ubuntu desktop"? [13:46] I used to run Webmin on my server...man what a bad idea, messed up a LOT of stuff [13:46] emx ubuntu-desktop [13:46] emx : sudo apt-get install ubuntu-desktop [13:47] emx start rom the beginning, what are you using now? [13:47] from* === lomo7_ is now known as lomo [13:48] can't mount nfs shares [13:48] anyone notice that? [13:49] Chris-Magentium, obviously config --replace didn't help. What else couldI try? [13:49] gah [13:49] ok whats the best alternative to webmin? [13:49] #zentyal? [13:49] !webmin [13:49] webmin is no longer supported in Debian and Ubuntu. It is not compatible with the way that Ubuntu packages handle configuration files, and is likely to cause unexpected issues with your system. [13:50] um yeah [13:50] so ispconfig maybe? [13:50] naterd00d or landscape [13:50] fedcab - Have a look at this link, helped me out with Resetting Unity when that happened to me [13:50] http://www.webupd8.org/2012/10/how-to-reset-compiz-and-unity-in-ubuntu.html [13:50] naterd00d, or zentyal [13:50] apt-get landscape? [13:50] !landscape [13:50] Landscape makes the management and monitoring of Ubuntu systems simple and effective by combining world-class support with easy to use online management tools. https://landscape.canonical.com/ [13:50] you have to pay for landscape [13:51] how much is it [13:51] you will see [13:51] naterd00d landscape is a business solution, so see what you need [13:52] !zentyal [13:52] zentyal is a web-based GUI interface for administering a server. It is designed to work with Ubuntu/Debian style configuration management. See https://help.ubuntu.com/community/Zentyal (Project formally known as eBox - including in Lucid/10.04). [13:52] i dont need a business solution [13:52] yeah that seems more my speed there [13:52] what about ispconfig [13:52] !ispconfig [13:52] im not cool enough haha [13:53] that iswhy ubuntu claims webmin is bad for debian based systems now [13:53] they have their own solution [13:53] darthanubis: no. [13:53] ok [13:53] Is landscape free? [13:53] no [13:53] no [13:53] its like 100 per puter [13:53] darthanubis: It has nothing to do with landscape. We have said this about webmin for quite a while now, since before landscape existed. [13:53] ok [13:53] more than that but yeah [13:54] I have WebMin Installed on my server. Updated to 13.04 for some updated packages that we needed, and webmin was just error after error after error [13:54] ok zentyal [13:54] Pici, I was not talking about Landscape [13:54] but ok [13:54] proceed [13:54] Even on 12.04 and 12.10 it was buggy [13:54] whats the best way to uninstall webmin and refresh all my bind stuff [13:54] to defaults [13:54] uninstall it [13:54] !webmin | Chris-Magentium [13:54] Chris-Magentium: webmin is no longer supported in Debian and Ubuntu. It is not compatible with the way that Ubuntu packages handle configuration files, and is likely to cause unexpected issues with your system. [13:55] darthanubis: fine, replace landscape with zenatyl/ebox. It has nothing to do with 'having our own solution'. The fact is that webmin just doesn't work right. [13:55] ok,dude [13:55] you win [13:55] Zykotick9 yes i stated that above which is why i had to remove it from my server =] [13:56] How i give programms root rights? for ever [13:56] AlexTheRealOne - Quick Question...why would you give a program root rights forever?? [13:56] no [13:56] Chris-Magentium, Cuz i dont want run zenmap always trough terminal [13:59] err... I appear to have lost audio. [13:59] AlexTheRealOne, ah i see (Sorry, security admin coming back to me :P ) the only way that i know of is setting up a script that runs it as root ,but which will still require a password being entered.... === Odysimus_away is now known as Odysimus [13:59] as in, it's going to a dummy output [14:00] any way to get it back into working order?

[14:04] there is no default password. and it should take your password [14:04] it doesn't :| [14:04] you installed a desktop on Server? [14:04] yeah….client demand [14:05] thats how I do it - ut theres no problems. what program is chrashing, do you think? [14:05] *but [14:05] fortunately it's only a staging machine so security isn't paramount [14:05] crashing [14:05] it happens on boot [14:06] ok then…i'll keep at it [14:06] I tried opening alsamixer, but it says "cannot open mixer: no such file or directory" [14:07] sarahS, after installing, does it ever work, even for a short while? [14:07] !lts [14:07] LTS means Long Term Support. LTS versions of Ubuntu will be supported for 3 years on the desktop, and 5 years on the server; with the exception of 12.04 (Precise Pangolin), which will be supported for 5 years on the desktop. The current LTS version of Ubuntu is !Precise (Precise Pangolin 12.04) [14:08] otend. you will need to re-install Alsa then. Open up Synaptic and fine the Alsa-Base package and install [14:08] compdoc: yeah it seems to run fine [14:08] Otend - alternately you can type sudo apt-get install alsa-base && sudo apt-get install pulseaudio && sudo alsa force-reload [14:09] alsa-base is already the newest version [14:09] there was some other administrative task i tried yesterday that prompted me for that same password. [14:09] trying force-reload [14:09] i forgot what it was... [14:10] and it's hanging [14:10] Hmm okay, open up Synaptic and remove Alsa completely. Then Install it again, and reboot [14:10] !distupgrade [14:10] 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. [14:10] I had same issue on my laptop [14:10] Hello all. I am running 13.04 and have not been able to get nautilus-compare to work. The context (right-click) menu does not show compare when I lasso two files and I can not figure out why. I also tried installing nemo and nemo-compare with the same results. Is anyone familiar with why this might be? [14:10] intel? [14:11] actually, I'm seeing it on the forums after looking up. guess I'm not alone [14:11] !upgrade [14:11] For upgrading, see the instructions at https://help.ubuntu.com/community/UpgradeNotes - see also http://www.ubuntu.com/desktop/get-ubuntu/upgrade [14:11] otend, have you tried pulseaudio? [14:11] should I just kill the force-reload? [14:11] Yeah that would be good idea [14:12] ok this's silly of me but is there a way of mass renaming files in a folder in ubuntu? in ugh windows i used to simply select all F2 and say the naming way [14:12] here how? [14:12] already installed, now let's reinstall alsa [14:12] Chris-Magentium, obviously it doesn't necessarily have problems with two monitors. Maybe it's just my 2560x1600 pixel monitor that causes problems. [14:12] hey guys, I want to install ubuntu. I do not have a usb stick, but I do have an SD card and a built in card reader. Can I install from an SD card? [14:13] sogeking99: Does your bios allow you to boot from the SD card? [14:13] sogeking99: as long as the BIOS can boot SD card, yes [14:14] I'm not sure really, it's a brand new laptop like, Sony Vaio [14:14] Ubuntu 12.04.2 LTS means that I am updated and I don't need to search for 13.04 right? [14:14] fedcab, my laptop at 1920x1080 and my second monitor at same res work fine, but at work my 1680x1050 has issues, only cos its a ViewSonic. It does indeed sound like the monitor is not giving the correct into to your GPU Adapter [14:15] sogeking99 just be warned, it will take a while...SD Cards are very slow [14:15] obert, unless you want 13.04 in particular, you're good [14:15] sd cards are slower than usb sticks? [14:15] since LTS is good for years [14:15] otend: why shouldnt i? i was focusing on that LTS though [14:15] Gday, im having issues trying to get Ubuntu to run on my macbook pro. I cant get the lvie cd to boot [14:15] johnjohn101: About the same. Varies by manufacturer too though. [14:15] okay thanks [14:16] well, unless you have constant video driver crashes, upgrading's unnecessary. I'm not saying it's bad, but if you don't specifically want it, upgrading from LTS isn't necessary. if you do want it, you can upgrade rather easily, though you'll lose the LTS bit [14:17] also, bit of a warning: non-LTS versions tend to have a bit less stability. if you still want it, I can help you upgrade. [14:19] i'm trying to install and configure the package 'drbl' on a new 13.04 install, and it seems to be broken, its configuration depends on ntfsprogs and libdigest-sha1-perl which are not included in the repos anymore [14:19] i'm trying to install a little bit older program and get a "The important program kde-config was not found!" error. Witch packet should I install to make this work? [14:19] Hey - I like that NetworkManager now supports VLANs, but why won't it let me assign a VLAN ID greater than 100? [14:20] no otend thanks. i am fine with this [14:20] mmkay; enjoy [14:20] otend: perhaps it would be cool to get kubuntu, but dunno sincerely [14:22] Anyone else trying to use Chrome/Chromium as their default browser, and 13.04 doesn't retain the default browser settings? [14:22] vexati0n: That sounds like a bug, since the standard supports 0-4095 [14:24] SuperLag i am using chromium [14:24] as default browser [14:24] im using chromium and its working fine [14:24] vexati0n: who has more than 100 vlans... [14:25] SuperLag: did you upgrade from 12.10 or did you clean install? [14:26] join #xstream [14:27] * thejet909 starting to dual boot [14:27] dual boot, too [14:29] * thejet909 i am installing 12.04 to second internal HDD and keeping my Win7 untouched on HDD1?? [14:29] thejet909: how is that a question? [14:30] * thejet909 my very first time & i am trying to talk to a guy who msg me - i have many questions but you;ve jumped on my FIRST message!! go easy! [14:30] no one? [14:31] thejet909: please don't prefix everything with /me just type as normal [14:31] * Chris-Magentium is getting annoyed with prefixes, especially obelix and asterisk [14:32] thejet909: if you are asking IF the install will tough the standing Windows install then no, it will not touch it, unless you tell it to [14:32] ActionParsnip: That's not the point, and lots of organizations don't number then one at a time, FFS. VLANs can go up to 4096. "I don't personally use that many" is a terrible reason not to support the standard. [14:32] ok just following hyrdraIRC getting started... [14:32] vexati0n: are there bugs reported? Can you set a higher ID in CLI? [14:32] ActionParsnip: I cannot find any bugs reported, and CLI isn't what I'm asking about. [14:32] thejet909: loved hydrairc in windows [14:33] vexati0n: but if you can set it in CLI, then it is a bug with the GUI app [14:33] vexati0n: isn't it...? [14:33] yeah seems very easy since i havent used IRC since 1990s!!!! scary!! [14:33] ActionParsnip: yes. [14:33] Love IRC regardless of the app. If i can type, i are happy : [14:34] anyone break unity after install ati drivers -_- ? [14:34] if i install my 12.04 to a second internal HDD could i then move that internal to a new machine when i upgrade ie hoping can take my dual boot ubuntu drive with me!! === NETfellow is now known as archlinuxROCKS [14:35] Just make sure you don't have any graphics drives installed, then you can. [14:35] thejet909: yes you can install on one system then move the drive over, you may have to configure Grub a bit but that will work [14:35] \list === archlinuxROCKS is now known as NETfellow [14:35] anyway i'll get it working on new internal HDD and leave the 1st HD with Win7 installed untouched and you say it wont affect 1st drive as long as i get boot commands correct? [14:36] Hello all. I am running 13.04 and have not been able to get nautilus-compare to work. The context (right-click) menu does not show compare when I lasso two files and I can not figure out why. I also tried installing nemo and nemo-compare with the same results. Is anyone familiar with why this might be? [14:37] I think it is cause nautilus has changed in ubuntu 13.04 [14:37] ciao a tuttii :) [14:37] !list [14:37] Hello can anybody tell what is the terminal command for setting proxy?

(per entrare, scrivi « /join #ubuntu-it » senza virgolette) [14:37] with previous version you could set sorting methods per folder now you can't [14:38] :) [14:38] Anyone know how to get nautilus back to the way it was before ubuntu 13 ? [14:40] thejet909, depends on the model and make of the TV Card. Ubuntu has pretty wide spread driver support though so should work [14:40] ActionParsnip is this to you direct? [14:41] thanks chris - how do a reply to you is there a .command? Anyway its a upper end HP Win 7 Tower (9790a) with very good hardware so should be able to find drivers etc yeah? [14:42] how do i install the driver for radeon 7000? [14:42] Has anyone used siege performance benchmarking tool with ubuntu ? [14:42] emx go to the cchtml wiki there you will find all the comands you need. [14:44] emx: An actual Radeon 7000, or some radeon HD 7xxx GPU video card? There is a huge difference. [14:45] The very old radeon 7000 is only supported by the open source radeon driver. [14:45] How is ubuntu better than win7 and would I be able to play skyrim, fallout nv, etc on it?

[15:39] shut up you [15:39] if you dont want to help then dont [15:40] Now now, language like that is uncalled for [15:40] if you wish to speak like that, then go elsewhere where [15:40] ideas: see you try a slave for instant service:) [15:40] ideas-hub: if you make threats, dont be surprised if you are called on them. ok [15:41] i welcome it [15:41] 100% [15:41] now if you dont mind [15:42] anyone know anything about my above mentioned question? :) [15:42] ok where is the xorg log [15:42] ideas-hub, /var/log/Xorg.0.log [15:43] ok cheers [15:43] I am having this issue http://askubuntu.com/questions/286259/ubuntu-13-04-endless-reboot Lenovo laptop 3000-G530 [15:43] Even the LiveCD reboots endlessly [15:43] hi does Kubuntu supported for 5 years? I hear only ubuntu was supported 5 years and derivative 3 years [15:43] But with 12.10 LiveCD this was not happening [15:44] dtbsjnbsre, it's up to the derivative to decide how long they are supported for [15:44] hi ok, do you have kubuntu irc? plz [15:45] ok found it [15:45] !kubuntu | dtbsjnbsre [15:45] dtbsjnbsre: Kubuntu is the Ubuntu flavour using KDE Software and the KDE Plasma Workspaces. See http://kubuntu.org for more information - For support join #kubuntu - See also !kde [15:45] i also found a xorg.1. file [15:45] thx a bunch! [15:45] is there any way to grab individual files off of a backup (via deja-dup, ubuntu's included backup)? [15:46] ideas-hub: may help http://namakutux.blogspot.co.uk/2011/11/linux-driver-for-661741760-pciagp-or.html [15:46] I've been trying to restore everything to a specific folder, and it's getting some funky error message [15:47] Malimbar "some funky error message"? [15:47] faLUCE, http://howtoubuntu.org/how-to-repair-restore-reinstall-grub-2-with-a-ubuntu-live-cd#.UYE4qkmVsac [15:47] Hi guys, quick question. I use xrandr to set my underscan on after every boot. Is there a way I can make this setting permanent, so I don't have to use terminal every time? [15:47] J2cloud: yes, made it yeasterday :) [15:47] ideas-hub: http://georgik.sinusgear.com/2011/02/01/linux-x-org-sis-driver-configuration/ [15:47] J2cloud: hold on one sec [15:47] ok i will give that a try [15:47] ideas-hub: its not the best GPU [15:47] MonkeyDust: It takes a while to come up, the preperation time takes several minutes and I don't remember what it was. [15:47] Alright [15:48] and a punch-line to it is it doesnt display 1024 res [15:48] Personally, I'm still waiting to see the log file from the computer where this works fine... [15:48] ideas-hub: if you can, get a new video card and disable the onboard ( I assume desktop PC ) [15:48] so maybe that will shut that game up [15:48] Malimbar error messages gtend to contain the clue to a solution [15:48] tend* [15:49] I'm trying to restore again right now, but it'll take probably 10 minutes or so before the error comes up. I guess I can check back in then [15:49] MonkeyDust: would downgrading ubuntu have any effect on that? I just went from 13.04 back to 12.04 [15:50] !downgrade | Malimbar [15:50] Malimbar: Attempting to downgrade to an older Ubuntu version is explicitly not supported and may break your system. [15:50] Malimbar that would be a fresh install, then [15:50] J2cloud: here i am sorry, so you have to modify your xprofile file [15:50] alright, and where is that [15:50] J2cloud: and add those three lines you type on the terminal to set the vid [15:50] J2cloud: sudo gedit ~/.xprofile [15:50] MonkeyDust: yeah, wiped the main HD and reinstalled. 13.04 was giving me a !@#$ ton of errors/bugs [15:51] and reinstalled [15:51] Ennom: 1. why sudo? and 2. sudo is NOT for GUI apps [15:51] i'm trying to install 12.04 64 from a netboot install, i can boot into the installer [15:51] thats what netboot is [15:51] Ennom: users have fullaccess to their own home, so why do you need sudo? [15:51] Ennom: should the file be empty at the moment? [15:51] but after selecting a mirror and getting to the "download installer components" step, i just get a blank purple screen and nothing happens [15:52] J2cloud: might be [15:52] Malimbar odd, it works like a charm, here [15:52] ActionParsnip is right. Don't use sudo for gui applications [15:52] ActionParsnip: I could not access mine (had to create it) and needed root privs [15:52] i was able to successfully install 13.04 from netboot install image, but some things i want to don't work in 13.04, i need to get 12.04 on this machine [15:52] Ennom, then you did something bad [15:52] tgm4883: its working, why was it so bad? [15:52] so i just put xrandr --output HDMI-0 --set underscan on in the file and save? [15:53] Ennom, if you can't access things in your own home directory, that is bad [15:53] Ennom, probably ended up that way because A) you used sudo on a gui application and/or B) you don't know what you are doing [15:54] MonkeyDust: I've figured the problem with 13.04 - it was the new kernal not liking the graphics drivers. Thus weird stuff. [15:54] tgm4883: yep, I don't know what I'm doing and I mostly do that trial and error :) anyway all the stuff like creating dir I can do that w/o problems but in this case I had to use root privs [15:54] hi, got a few questions regarding ubuntu 13. 1) is there any way to get the 'status bar' back at the bottom of the nautilus window? It used to show the amount of free space left in the drive you were exploring. Very useful feature that. And 2) is it possible to get the right-click option for viewing/opening a directory in geeqie? This used to work in 12.10, but since the upgrade ... gone. [15:54] Ennom: users can make new files in their own home folders [15:54] Malimbar for future reference: how did you find out? [15:54] I don't even have a .xprofile [15:55] Ennom: and use gksudo for gedit, not sudo [15:55] i have a .profile [15:55] But I'm assuming those aren't the same [15:55] Hi, I am considering switching to Ubuntu/Linux, is there an easy way to find out if my hardware is supported without repartitioning? [15:55] Ennom, so rather than using sudo to access the file, the better question is, why can't your user access it (probably permissions), and does that need fixed [15:55] MonkeyDust: I got pissed, installed Debian, upgraded to the latest version, had many of the same problems [15:56] though it also only half-worked if I used an older kernal via grub, so I'm not sure if that was all that was wrong [15:56] cconrad: The simplest way is to see if everything works when you boot up to a liveDVD [15:56] well that didnt work [15:56] @genii-around: unfortunately my laptop doesn't have a dvd drive [15:56] liveUSB? [15:56] cconrad: use a usb drive [15:57] cconrad: There is also a Hardware Compatibility List but it's a bit outdated ( see !hcl ) [15:57] you can make one in windows [15:57] unfortunately i have four workspaces running terminal rtorren 8 tab firefox file manager mattered in that case [15:57] all cos i took out a graphics card [15:57] tgm4883: good question and honestly never asked myself that one [15:57] a global, but honestly [15:57] cconrad: As wdonkey says, you can also boot to the usb if your system supports that === bpregont is now known as starnix [15:58] i never thought id say this but i hate linux [15:59] I guess not :) [15:59] buenos dias [15:59] ideas-hub, I've offered to help, but you haven't yet posted the Xorg log file from the working machine. This will be the last time I suggest it. [15:59] thx all, i'll try the usb method. bye [15:59] ideas-hub thank you for sharing your feelings with the channel [15:59] huh yea [16:00] ok sorry [16:00] i almost forgot about that [16:00] for sharing your feelings with the phone MonkeyDust i know xd [16:01] ok brb === olli__ is now known as olli [16:02] MonkeyDust, any idea why my grub screen stays shrunk, even after I changed the line in /etc/default/grub to GRUB_GFXMODE="1920x1080" and run sudo update-grub? [16:02] aneks: can your screen do that res during grub? [16:03] here [16:03] heres the log [16:03] [ 18.480] [16:03] X.Org X Server 1.11.3 [16:03] Release Date: 2011-12-16 [16:03] [ 18.480] X Protocol Version 11, Revision 0 [16:03] [ 18.480] Build Operating System: Linux 2.6.24-29-server i686 Ubuntu [16:03] ideas-hub: Please don't flood; use http://paste.ubuntu.com to paste; don't use Enter as punctuation. [16:03] Jeez, don't paste logs into here. Really, this is basic, ideas-hub. [16:03] hahahahahaha [16:04] ideas-hub: that is a Hardy kernel [16:04] Hi, Unity option has disappeared from LightDM screen after I installed and remove Gnome 3.8 PPA [16:04] ideas-hub: Hardy is EOL on the desktop [16:04] when he said "heres the log" i was waiting for it [16:04] ideas-hub: a LONG time ago [16:04] ActionParsnip, no idea, I'm running Ubuntu on it's own and grub doesn't really show up on boot, but when I'm shutting down the screen is shrunk to maybe 640x480 or so [16:04] hallo [16:04] am i back on [16:04] !hardy [16:04] Ubuntu 8.04 LTS (Hardy Heron) was the eighth release of Ubuntu. Desktop support ended on May 12 2011, Server support continues until 2013. See !upgrade, !lts and !eol for more details. [16:05] ideas-hub: You are. [16:05] aneks: then why set it if you have no idea? [16:05] good [16:05] ideas-hub: Hardy is EOL [16:05] i'm trying to install 12.04 64 from a netboot install, i can boot into the installer [16:05] but after selecting a mirror and getting to the "download installer components" step, i just get a blank purple screen and nothing happens [16:05] they enable netboot for the driver is working ok [16:05] ideas-hub: its support ended in May 11, 2011 [16:05] ok whats that [16:05] ideas-hub: Hard is Ubuntu 8.04 [16:05] if i drop into a shell and cat /var/log/syslog it looks like net-retriever gets and checks three keys, says they're good, then does nothing [16:05] *hardy [16:06] ActionParsnip, I did a reboot and pressed shift to load grub, went into the grub cli mode and did vbeinfo, 1920x1080 is one of the supported modes, that's why I changed it. [16:06] ideas-hub: There have been... nine versions of Ubuntu released since Hardy. :-) [16:06] cant be [16:06] ideas-hub: it is no longer supported in any way [16:06] i used a ubuntu 11 cd [16:07] anyway [16:07] you've been lied to ideas-hub [16:07] but there anyway to do with fedora 18 pausing? [16:07] how come gedit in the repos is so old T_T [16:07] 5 years since 8.04 was released. linux/ubuntu is much much improved [16:07] i guess its code for new distro] [16:07] ideas-hub: it is the hardy kernel, so you will need to get the kernel for your release, or you are using Hardy [16:07] ideas-hub: What you're asking for is the equivalent of support for Windows98. :-) [16:07] a gui asking for a reasonable amount of time? [16:08] huh [16:08] aneks: run: sudo apt-get install v86d hwinfo; sudo hwinfo --framebuffer [16:08] anyone know if I can get the deb for a more recent release of gedit? I don't want to compile from source.. google hasn't been helpful [16:08] compex: What about launchpad's search? [16:08] how do i get my second hard drive to stay mounted [16:08] !ppa | compex [16:08] compex: A Personal Package Archive (PPA) can provide alternate software not normally available in the offical Ubuntu repositories - Looking for a PPA?

See also !addppa and !ppa-purge [16:08] ok your confusing me now [16:08] when tuning off and on [16:08] ideas-hub, That log file was from the machine where the game works fine? [16:08] ideas-hub: cat /etc/issue says what? [16:08] bmxscott1993: add it in /etc/fstab and it will mount (well, the partition will mount, you can't mount drives) [16:09] Alright, here is the error message Backup is giving me: http://pastebin.com/MQpiTS4y [16:09] ideas-hub: read the top few lines of your own output [16:09] ideas-hub: "2.6.24-29-server " yes?

[16:10] .. [16:10] ideas-hub: https://wiki.ubuntu.com/Releases here is a list of future, supported and not-supported releases https://wiki.ubuntu.com/Releases [16:10] To be fair, that's the build operating system, not necessarily the running operating system. [16:10] ok can you translate that to english please [16:10] ActionParsnip, just did, what's it supposed to do? [16:10] not machine code [16:10] bmxscott1993, do a sudo fdisk -l find the /dev/sdX assigned to it and then run blkid for the UUID and it as an entry in your /etc/fstab file [16:10] ideas-hub: its not machine code in any way [16:10] I just got a bluetooth 4.0 adapter, Is there a resource for configuring it on 13.04? [16:10] it is to me [16:11] ideas-hub: you are usin gan ancient release which is no longer supported in any way [16:11] brb [16:11] ideas-hub, Use http://pastebin.com/ to show us the /var/log/Xorg.0.log file from the machine where the game works. Do *not* paste it here. [16:11] didnt grep drv /var/log/xorg [16:11] aneks: it shows the resolution you can do in framebuffer mode [16:11] the framebuffer [16:11] ok back [16:11] that was it [16:12] and that was the machine using mint [16:12] 13 [16:12] ideas-hub: mint isnt supported here [16:12] thats fine [16:12] cos this one here is ubuntu [16:12] ideas-hub, So the game works fine in Mint, but not Ubuntu. Then you need to see what the difference is in the software between those two machines. [16:13] it worked fine here aswell [16:13] ideas-hub: maybe the newer xorg in the newer versions doesn't like your GPU [16:13] before i removed the external gpu [16:13] ActionParsnip, http://pastebin.com/W9qdHWWK that's what I get [16:13] or maybe the game didnt adapt to the onboard one [16:13] there is a WD 1TB external power hard drive that will not show any file and folder when u enter in it but it give back a report that you have 800MB free . so i want my movies back can anyone help ? [16:14] ideas-hub, So you've already determined that the intel GPU can't run the game, but the external one can. So what are you asking for help with? [16:14] eg (gpu 1 = 1024,768 gpu 0 = 800 ,600) [16:14] no ideas on what Backup is doing then? [16:14] aneks: the highest res you can do in framebuffer mode is 1280x800 , not 1920x1080 [16:14] yea [16:15] but the mint pc does run it [16:15] and thats at 800 , 600 [16:15] res [16:15] ideas-hub, So, again, find out what the difference in software is between those machines. [16:15] ideas-hub: maybe the xorg version like the gpu and acn do it [16:15] ActionParsnip, so the line should be GRUB_GFXMODE="1280x800" instead? :) [16:16] Juular: when you last unplugged it, did you use the safe remove feature [16:16] ActionParsnip: nope :'( [16:16] aneks: yes as that is as high as you can go....you can't just choose what you want without seeing what is possible [16:16] Juular: thats why then you are mistreating your hardware [16:17] how can i remove the history of commands i typed in my terminal? [16:17] Juular: plug it back in to the system (Windows if it is NTFS) and chkdsk the partition, then in the system tray, use the safe eject feature and you will find its ok [16:17] ruby_on_tails: delete the ~/.bash_history file [16:17] ActionParsnip, thanks :) [16:17] after upgrade to raring two of my four upgraded machines show just a blinking underline after grub [16:17] any idea? [16:18] ruby_on_tails: then touch it to recreate it :) [16:18] Aison: i just typed a password in the terminal [16:18] ActionParsnip: window$ keepo telling me format the hard ? [16:18] Juular: not good [16:18] Juular: this is WHY the feature is there. It's not there for kicks [16:18] ok i deleted that entry [16:18] thanks ActionParsnip [16:18] ruby_on_tails: that works too ;) [16:19] ok this one is 1.7.6.7 [16:19] the mint pc is 1.7.6.12 [16:19] Juular: you could try foremost on the partition, you will need another 1Tb space to spit any and all file to as they are found. You will lose folder and file data but the files may be ok === akshay_ is now known as akshay_r === qos is now known as qos|away [16:20] hallo [16:20] ok [16:20] Juular: or just use your backups [16:20] brb need a crap [16:20] Juular: I assume you have a backup [16:21] ideas-hub check xorg version > less /var/log/Xorg.0.log [16:21] hey [16:23] how can I speed ubutu up [16:23] ActionParsnip: condolences to myself . idont have any backups . so i think i will loose some right ? [16:23] i have 2gb system memory [16:23] i'm trying to install 12.04 64 (also tried on 11.10) from a netboot install, i can boot into the installer [16:23] on this one or the mint one [16:23] but after selecting a mirror and getting to the "download installer components" step, i just get a blank purple screen and nothing happens [16:23] i gave it 564mb og ram, it runs in virtualbox [16:23] of ram* [16:23] here are the logs (for 11.10 attempt) http://paste.ubuntu.com/5623132/ [16:23] this one = ubuntu [16:24] ubuntu 13.4, desktop edition, just installed it [16:24] Juular: if foremost doesn't do well, then yes [16:24] ActionParsnip: thanks for your adve [16:24] avice * [16:24] advice** [16:25] balls: try using a lighter deskto psession like LXDE [16:25] this is wasting my time [16:25] dont bother [16:25] ill try and fix it myself [16:25] ideas-hub: what is [16:26] Juular: A cheap lesson on the value of backups. :-) [16:27] Corey: what is [16:27] Corey: yes thats true [16:28] lemin: Try to keep up. :-) [16:29] :) [16:30] anyone here know a good open source flash editor? [16:30] 13.04 with Gnome-Fallback Desktop ... occassionally i'm unable to minimize a window with the window minimize button ... i have to right click on the window tab on the bottom panel and choose unmaximize ... this is happening on two different PC's and a variety of applications ... is this happening to anyone else ? [16:30] Tex_Nick: the fallback is full of weirdness like that [16:31] So true [16:31] So, I have had a loss of suspend in raring, had it previously, kernel 3.8.0-19 seems to be the culprit, not sure how, lol. [16:32] ActionParsnip : lol ... guess i just need to wait for a fix ... BTW haven't chatted with you in a while ... hope all goes well with you :-) [16:32] Tex_Nick: if you use xfce, you will get a familiar 2 panel session without all the wierd fallback weirdness [16:32] Tex_Nick: you can installl xfce4 and get a minimal xfce session, your gnome apps will run without issue [16:33] ActionParsnip : ok thanks for the tip ... i'll give that a try :-) === djm_ is now known as Guest20562 [16:34] hello. my wifi-connection is very unstable. i've got an intel wifi link 5100 AGN, n-mode disabled, connected to a tp-link AP (current firmware) with wpa2/aes encryption. any ideas? [16:35] Additionally early on this suspend problem was fixed with the removal of /etc/pm/sleep.d this has not worked. http://ubuntuforums.org/showthread.php?t=2104119 [16:36] burning_man: Are other devices also unstable on that AP? [16:37] burning_man: Also check logs. Are you sure you're disassociating, or is it possibly that your connection itself is crappy? Fault isolation. :-) [16:37] in ubuntu 12.04, when i suspend (power management settings) the computer, downloads happening aren't recognized as active and are disrupted when it suspends,, how do I change that other than never suspending? [16:37] burning_man: Wifi is inherently unstable. There's not a lot you can do in software to improve it. Possibly relocate or reorient the AP. [16:38] burning_man: Possibly try using a different channel. [16:38] no, Corey - my other devices are not unstable [16:39] Toph2: You need to figure out what suspending actually does. You can't suspend and have downloads continue, it doesn't work that way. [16:39] jhattara,,, is there a workabout? [16:40] jhutchins_wk, Corey - it runs fine with windows 7 on the same device === shogun is now known as sh0gun [16:41] hi [16:54] is there any way to make a synaptics touchpad work simmilarly to how it does on windows? [16:56] I managed to get circular and two finger scrolling activated, but it's not very clean, I need to make much wider circles and the amount by which it scrolls is way too much [16:56] also, when a second display is hooked up, the accelleration goes crazy [17:02] Running Ubuntu 12.04 64Bit (Unity 3D) I want to specifiy an application that is not listed in the Nautilus list after "Open With". Normally I can browse to open a certain application, but Ubuntu does not show that option with .air files. I have installed Adobe Air, but it does a) not appear on the list of applications. b) Nautilus does not let me browse to a certain location. These restrictions make me mad. [17:02] I'm trying to set up postfix with SMTP AUTH on 12.04 but the guide on help.ubuntu.com seems to be out of date with regard to dovecot configuration. Does anyone know of another resource? [17:03] #dovecot and #postfix GeminiDomino [17:04] Meris, did you mean MIME types? [17:05] GeminiDomino: you may want to try #ubuntu-server as well [17:05] Thanks [17:05] bazhang, it does show up as a MIME type yes, but I want to be in full control here. I want to choose an application that is *not* listed in the app list. [17:06] Meris, and where is air installed [17:07] Meris from the Adobe website : "Note: Beginning June 14 2011, Adobe AIR is no longer supported for desktop Linux distributions." [17:07] bazhang, Adobe Air is installed in /opt/Adobe AIR I believe the binary that runs the abomination is called libCore.so [17:08] hello, i'm having a problem with getting sound from hdmi to another source in 13.04, what's the best solution? [17:09] MonkeyDust, I know. But no matter what kind of file I want to open. *I* want to be in full control. I don't need Nautilus hiding options I want to see. I'm used to this kind of behaviour on Windows and MacOSX. It is one of the prime reasons I switched to a Linux environment. I want to be in control, All the time. [17:10] Meris ask the developpers (how) to implement it in nautilus - /join #ubuntu-app-devel may be useful [17:11] Meris or submit the idea in !brainstorm [17:11] MonkeyDust, sorry, I have neither the knowledge nor the time to make that happen. [17:11] Meris: you can add and remove assocations with ~/.local/share/applications/mimeapps.list , had to use it recently to remove a couple assocations that aren't listed in the nautilus properties anymore [17:11] i want to run a command automatically when i lock the screen , any idea how i can do that ? [17:11] MonkeyDust, trism, thank you trism. Much obliged. I'll get cracking. [17:12] Meris linux is open source, no need to crack [17:13] MonkeyDust, It's just a matter of expression in British English, not related at all to cracking software or (remote) systems. [17:13] MonkeyDust: AdobeAir for linux, is a dead project... i'm not sure how much interest they'll get for implementing features/fixing bugs for it... just sayin' === newcholby is now known as cholby [17:14] hi [17:14] Meris hope you can get it done, sounds interesting [17:14] i want to run a command automatically when i lock/unlock the screen , any idea how i can do that ? [17:14] zykotick9, yes, unfortunately, some developers took the easy way out and developed for the abomination that is Adobe Air. The programs themselves are beautiful and very useful, but the system below it stinks. Same with DotNet. [17:15] MonkeyDust, I think I'll get it done using trism's advice. [17:16] i have a server runing ubuntu 12.04 that hosts a virtualbox installation. in this virtualbox I have a ubuntu 12.10 server that should be available via ipv6. the host has ipv6 connectivity thru tunnelbroker.net (HE). This works. I followed the instructions here: https://wiki.ubuntu.com/IPv6#Configure_your_Ubuntu_box_as_a_IPv6_router but it does not work. [17:16] the guest system get's a ipv6 [17:16] but it cannot ping thru ipv6 and I can not ping it itself. [17:16] any ideas? [17:16] on the guest system no iptables are running [17:18] Hi guys [17:18] hi- will [ -t 1 ] return false in a boot init script? This is on 12.04. thanks [17:21] i want to run a command automatically when i lock/unlock the screen , any idea how i can do that ?

[17:27] MonkeyDust: .config where? [17:27] and why would deleting them help? [17:28] decci, I think the only way to ake it work is by installing gnome-session-fallback [17:29] compdoc: What all package do I need? [17:29] i have two screens, i would really like to remove the unity sidebar thingie from the second screen so its only on the first, how can i do that? [17:29] decci, sudo apt-get install gnome-session-fallback [17:29] compdoc: Let me try === xcourier__ is now known as xcourier [17:31] decci, I couldnt get vnc to work for 12.11 or 13.04, but I found a website to automatically install xrdp and x11rdp, and I think all it did differenly that what I did was to install gnome-session-fallback. the site is: http://scarygliders.net/2012/06/20/x11rdp-o-matic-and-rdpsesconfig-version-2/ [17:32] for some reason my ubuntu is not simply werking. my update manager asks me to install updates, i click yes, window disappears, it reappears after some time asking to install the same updates [17:32] well .. i guess will just brute force then (metacity --replace) until i can figure it out later [17:33] agliodbs in ~/.config/ === taylor_ is now known as beaverfan [17:33] MonkeyDust: why would deleting files from there help? [17:34] agliodbs yes, from the appropriate folder, if it's there [17:34] decci, I use the MS rdp client to connect now, and will probably switch all my servers to it [17:35] its pretty nice [17:35] madprops: Force it with apt-get instead. [17:36] bazhang, MonkeyDust, actually the binary blob installer didn't tell where it installed it's files. I was looking at an earlier Air 1.0 install. No matter, I'll find it out eventually...

[17:39] shasha_, Could you elaborate what you mean with daemon here? Do you mean the X-Server, the Window Manager the Desktop Environment or something else? [17:40] Meris: i mean X-Server [17:40] Meris: and desktop enviroment [17:40] Does anyone recognize this symbol? I saw it at linux fest northwest and I'm trying to identify it. http://imgur.com/iys9cnL [17:40] shasha_, Lubuntu uses LXDE as DEsktop Environment on top of OpenBox as Window Manager. The X-Server is just X.org [17:41] how is running "mate desktop enviroment " in ubuntu ? [17:42] aquitel mate is not in the repo's, its a mint DE [17:43] aguitel: google says http://www.noobslab.com/2012/11/install-mate-14-desktop-in-ubuntu.html (and alot of other hits) [17:44] aguitel, there is probably a ppa for mate that works on ubuntu. No support though. [17:46] Meris, ok [17:48] hello, i have a question about running software on ubuntu, but i'm not sure if this is the place to ask. i'm running ubuntu 12.04.1 LTS, and i'm trying to get wine to install. i tried installing wine1.3, wine1.4, and wine1.5, from both the software center and from the terminal. im getting this error in the terminal when i try to install wine1.5 http://pastebin.com/DvevPxN0 [17:48] does anybody have any idea what i can do to get it to install? [17:49] alright, back to windows I guess. This touchpad behavior is making it unusable [17:50] MonkeyDust: I found a better solution: http://repogen.simplylinux.ch/generate.php [17:50] Sazpaimon_: what hardware? [17:51] agliodbs, synaptics [17:51] hello guys [17:51] circular scrolling scrolls too fast, and when I plug in a second display, the movement speed goes haywire [17:51] Sazpaimon_: what computer? [17:52] sager NP9170 [17:52] Sazpaimon_: I'm using an ASUS with a synaptics touchpad, works great [17:52] although IIRC I had to tweak it [17:52] !netsplit [17:52] netsplit is when two IRC servers of the same network (like freenode) disconnect from each other, so users on one server stop seeing users on the other. If this is happening now, just relax and enjoy the show. See http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Netsplit [17:52] Sazpaimon_: look for guides on tweaking the ASUS Zenbook for Ubuntu [17:52] there's a few, and I know the touchpad was addresse [17:53] agliodbs, I've already done a bunch of tweaking to even get circular scrolling to work [17:53] circular scrolling? [17:53] I still cannot resolve the fact that the horizontal speed goes crazy when plugging in a second display and moving it to the side [17:53] https://wiki.archlinux.org/index.php/Touchpad_Synaptics#Circular_Scrolling [17:54] also, the motions I need to make to get circular scrolling to work is not good at all, compared to windows [17:54] so something I installed pulled in nvidia dependencies on my intel graphics laptop, and now even after removing nvidia stuff, GLX is still way broken. Anyone have any magical suggestions? [17:55] no matter what I set the delta to, it sometimes works and sometimes doesn't [17:55] but more than anything, the horizontal speed when having a second display is the biggest issue [17:56] Hi [17:56] Jays, please dont PM me [17:56] Sorry m new. [17:57] hey guys [17:57] i use the shell quite often, and i had guake installed, but it fails to work in unity. [17:57] is there a replacement for that?

So im kinda in a rock and a hard place because I dont have a CD drive I can swap over to the old crashbox [19:26] though I need the install of server [19:26] ok having a issue with 12.04 went in and installed cinnamon via ppa:gwendal-lebihan-dev/cinnamon-stable then went back to unity and its got no taskbar [19:26] Diesel3000, so you used Unetbootin to do a server install TO the first partition of the hard drive? [19:27] I didnt even get that far, it said there was an issue with pulling the data from the USB and wouldnt allow me to move forward from there there [19:28] So the USB was made incorectly, or the iso file used was 'bad'. Thats the core of the problem Diesel3000 ? [19:29] what was the exact error the usb said when you booted it? theres some old issues with server installs from USB where it fails to see the ISO file on the usb [19:29] I might assume. It will allow configuring of the network with DHCP as im trying again now.. standby [19:30] well that didnt work but i have the actual error Kernel panic - not syncing: VFS: unable to mount root fs on unknown-block(0,0) comm: swapper/0 Not tainted 3.5.0-27-generic [19:31] any idea what i can do to fix this?

You are corredt. when you change a users groups you MUST log out/back in for them to get changed [19:33] groober: seems like you dont have permission to do that, try the comand with sudo [19:34] i'm doing that with su [19:34] "would you like to install youtube for extra features and quicker access?" seriously, what's wrong with firefox on ubuntu? it's kind of annoying [19:34] ggherdov, its just asking to enable the youtube webapp icon. [19:34] i'm not in sudoers, can't change right now [19:34] but i have admin password, so su [19:34] ggherdov, webapps is a 'new' feature in 12.04+ i belive. neat idea.. but dosent work that well [19:35] groober: by default, there is root/admin password in Ubuntu. [19:35] is upstart installed by default on ubuntu? [19:35] thanks Dr_willis... I might see if there is an open issue regarding this.... until you've run into the problem then its not obvious [19:35] codepython777, yes. [19:35] Dr_willis: ok [19:35] groober: What is the exact command you're running? [19:35] groober: And even having the password for an account in sudoers, you would have to use sudo instead of su [19:35] I am getting this error on boot Kernel panic - not syncing: VFS: unable to mount root fs on unknown-block(0,0) comm: swapper/0 Not tainted 3.5.0-27-generic [19:36] su admin dd if=/Users/myname/Desktop/Desktop.img of=/dev/disk1 bs=1m [19:36] hey im new to linux and ubuntu anyone willing to help [19:36] bd9021, state the problem and see who can help [19:36] i cant get java to work without manually selecting it [19:37] the error doing it is "/bin/dd: /bin/dd: cannot execute binary file" [19:37] followed the guide at the !java factoid bd9021 ? [19:37] bd9021.. what do you mean by "work"? [19:37] how would i fix [19:37] !java | bd9021 [19:37] bd9021: To just use java you need a "Java Runtime Environment" (JRE) and/or a browser plugin. If that is not sufficient you will need a "Java Development Kit" (JDK) aka "Software Development Kit" (SDK). Please see https://help.ubuntu.com/community/Java about how to install one of three current implementations. [19:37] i install cinnamon and also played around with gnome classic on 12.04, i had to do unity --reset to get my panel back and now super only works if a window is open but not if cursor is over desktop [19:38] i think its still using a diferent application for the desktop [19:38] groober: That's not how you use su. If you want to run a single command as root with su you would run something like this: su -c "dd if=/Users/myname/Desktop/Desktop.img of=/dev/disk1 bs=1m" (note I have *not* checked to be sure that your dd command is correct, and dd can be dangerous). [19:38] alright has anyone heard of bcache [19:38] glassresistor, try a 'compiz --replace' ? [19:38] bd9021: Some people did. [19:39] and by work i mean it have to select it manually to play minecraft it wont open auto [19:39] oops , bouncer went down [19:39] bd9021, so your while issue is getting Minecraft working and thats all? [19:39] if the /home/user123 is encrypted (ubuntu) and shadows file is overwritten , the theif boots with the new password of user123 . will he access the /home/user123? [19:39] Dr_willis: just killed everything, in ttyl now [19:39] Quest: No. [19:39] well thats just my example there are a few java chat sites ii cant get to work [19:40] is the desktop still drawn by nautilus? [19:40] jordan, why not [19:40] codepython777, did you see the upstart factoid , my connrection dropped for a few [19:40] i assume its cause java wont run auto [19:40] bd9021, well for minecraft - start with this guide perhaps. the others may work then. http://www.webupd8.org/2013/04/easily-install-minecraft-in-ubuntu-via.html [19:40] Quest: Because he didnt change the password that was used to encrypt the hashes used for encryption. [19:40] i guess i mean as a default [19:41] glassresistor, Nautilys handles the icons on the desktop. but it does not handle the 'superkey' binding. thats a feature of the window manager. compiz normally. [19:41] bekks, Jordan_U rephrase: if the /home/user123 is encrypted (ubuntu) and shadows file is overwritten , the theif boots with root account (with the new password) and changes password of user123 . will he access the /home/user123? [19:42] Quest: Again: No. [19:42] Quest: Because the way that home directory encryption works is that there is a private key which is used to encrypt all of the files, and there is also a "wrapped" password encrypted version of that key stored. When you login, a PAM module passes your password to a process which uses it to decrypt that wrapped private key, and then uses the private key to decrypt the files. If you give a different password than the one the key is ... [19:42] ... encrypte with then the private key will fail to decrypt, and thus you also won't be able to decrypt any files. [19:43] Hi [19:43] Quest: The only way to successfully change the password of a user with an encrypted home directory is by entering their old password (or by knowing the private key used to encrypt their files, which you can generally only get by having the password). [19:44] bd9021... is the file you have downloaded a jar file? [19:44] jordan, so ignoreing the /etc/shadows file. even in normal operations, if the root logs in and changes the password of user123 or su user123 and enters /home/user123 , he wont have acces to the files? not even root? [19:44] if so there is an article here: http://askubuntu.com/questions/192914/how-run-a-jar-file-with-a-double-click [19:45] Quest: Correct. [19:45] Jordan_U, how to get the private key used to encrypt their files [19:45] Quest: You have to know the users password. [19:45] i know i doawnloaded it but its not showing in my downlaods folder [19:46] bekks, so root cannot do ALL [19:46] hello, I have a problem with upstart on Ubuntu 12.04 . Even though I submitted a "respaw" stanza, if the program terminate somehow, upstart won't reload it... [19:46] Quest: Correct. [19:46] bekks, good for users, bad for root [19:46] ok [19:46] Jordan_U, how to get the private key used to encrypt their files -- bekks [19:46] Quest: You have to know the users password. === ubuntu is now known as Guest31542 [19:46] bekks, thats the only way? [19:46] Quest: Correct. [19:47] night all! === headache_gone is now known as matt_symes [19:47] Jordan_U so it should be: su admin "dd if=/Users/myname/Desktop/Desktop.img of=/dev/rdisk1 bs=1m" [19:47] Quest: so are you going to come here and ask this same question every month or what? [19:47] bekks, Jordan_U i assume that when the user123 will change his password himself. it will also change the private key and encrypted /homes keys. [19:47] jrib, did i asked this before? [19:47] Quest: By using ecryptfs-unwrap-passphrase (which requires the passphrase the key was wrapped with). [19:47] Quest: That depends on how the user changes his password - but yes, in general, the user willl change all passwords. [19:48] I am having some trouble with pulseaudio after upgrading to 13.04 and was wondering if I could get some help [19:48] jrib, must be a coleege then, we are working on security in office [19:48] Quest: you would know that [19:48] hello [19:48] I have one problem about install ubuntu 13.04. Can anyone help me? [19:49] Guest31542: just ask [19:49] Quest: If a user changes their password it will not change the private key, it will only rewrap the wrapped key file using a different password. [19:49] Guest31542, what is your problem> [19:49] Quest: That way you don't need to decrypt and re-encrypt all your files every time you change your passphrase. [19:50] Jordan_U, so at anytime the user can decrypt the /home by the old password also? [19:50] Quest: you may be interested in the log for this channel for april 7 2013 (just search for "Quest"). Might be helpful. Feel free to discuss it here too; just stuck me as strange [19:50] Quest: No. [19:50] Quest: No, the old wrapped passphrase is deleted when a user changes their password. [19:50] Quest: There is just one password thats used for wrapping the private key. [19:50] jrib, Hm. i wont be, my colleege has his own research and that would be private for me [19:51] Jordan_U, oh. nice [19:51] jordan, bekks jrib one last question. does windows behave the same way? you change a file (overwrite etc/shadows) by a live cd or harddisk access and you enter the new password and login? [19:52] running su imac "dd if=/Users/Sergio/Desktop/Desktop.img of=/dev/rdisk1 bs=1m" [19:52] Quest: Personally, I dont care how Windows does things. [19:52] gives: No such file or directory [19:52] can someone please help me fix my system, I am getting this error on boot Kernel panic - not syncing: VFS: unable to mount root fs on unknown-block(0,0) comm: swapper/0 Not tainted 3.5.0-27-generic [19:52] Quest: ##windows can help you with that [19:52] i'm sure the file exist [19:52] Quest: And Windows doesnt have a etc/shadow. [19:52] thanks! [19:52] bekks, well does it has a smilar way? [19:53] Quest: 0501 215207 < bekks> Quest: Personally, I dont care how Windows does things. :) [19:53] Ok. I have 2 phisycal SATA drives. /dev/sda is SATA2 and /dev/sdb is SATA3. I have Win8 installed on /dev/sdb. So I wish install ubuntu on /dev/sda. BUT! Installer offer me install ubuntu together with windows on /dev/sdb. However installer also want install GRUB on /dev/sda! [19:53] So I've got a small problem... I just did an apt-get upgrade on my server, and now it's detecting a bunch of OS's I don't remember installing... how do I fix that? [19:54] I just can't change another hdd [19:54] groober: No, it should be exactly the command I gave you. [19:54] anyone on upstart ? [19:54] http://paste.ubuntu.com/5623770/ [19:54] !anyone | nanvou [19:54] nanvou: 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. [19:54] bekks, ok [19:54] nanvou: i imagine most people are. You should just ask your next question [19:54] hello, I have a problem with upstart on Ubuntu 12.04 . Even though I submitted a "respaw" stanza, if the program terminate somehow, upstart won't reload it... [19:55] groober: so that is [19:55] the program doesn't exit with "0" status [19:55] Hi, can anyone tell me how to check my system update history using the default software updater in ubuntu? [19:55] OH derp... those are my LXC vm's. [19:55] so it SHOULD be restarted, but it doesn't [19:56] Jordan_U: su -cc "..." gives "su: illegal option -- c" [19:56] sorry, su -c [19:56] nanvou: I don't know but I suggest pastebinning your actual script to see if someone can help [19:56] Big_Stupid check dpkg.log [19:56] just one question: if I install nvidia-current-updates do I need also nvidia-common? ubuntu 12.04, nvidia Geforce 8800 Gt [19:57] any idea why installer won't give me to change install drive? [19:58] thanks savio! [19:58] groober: Please run the exact command I gave, then copy and paste the full command and its output to http://pastebin.ubuntu.com , and post the link to it here. [19:58] Big_Stupid np [19:58] Guest31542, You in the something other option? [19:58] here's the script http://paste.ubuntu.com/5623777/ [19:59] wilee-nilee: what option you mean to use? [19:59] nanvou: but there's no "respawn" there? [19:59] Guest31542, There is a install gui at the bottom is something other it is the manual install. [19:59] jrib, yes so that it runs no matter what [20:00] can someone help me fix the kernal panic i am getting after i updated and rebooted [20:00] nanvou: I'm confused. Wasn't your complaint that "respawn" was not having an effect? [20:00] Guest31542, 3rd or 4ty choice in the install guis. [20:00] 4th [20:00] jrib, >> https://lists.ubuntu.com/archives/upstart-devel/2011-January/001383.html (look for respawn) [20:00] I tried this approach because respawn had no effect in the first place [20:01] Guest31542, you are booting from a live cd. and doing a full install to a hard drive? [20:01] nanvou: that's a really old document. Have you checked current documentation? [20:01] wilee-nilee: you mean choices frome livecd grub menu or what? In graphical installer I have no options to change hdd to install [20:01] jrib, yes http://upstart.ubuntu.com/cookbook/ . I went there [20:01] Guest31542, Honestly with a uefi install you should be using the ubuntu forums. [20:02] Jordan_U: http://pastebin.ubuntu.com/5623791/ [20:02] wilee-nilee: ok, it seems to be best way for right now [20:03] Guest31542, Do you have the W8 backed up to a external or backed up in case it is bricked? [20:03] wilee-nilee: thanks for you trying [20:03] groober: My guess would be that you need a username at the end, or a - [20:03] nanvou: there's #upstart, you may have better luck there [20:04] can anyone help with an issue with anki? I keep getting a 404/cant connect error when I use the program. [20:04] jrib, thanks [20:04] i cannot get slype or ekiga to work correctly. I use ALSA and the sound sounds really bad, like with lots of static electricity [20:04] things is, the embedded microphone works [20:04] arecord -D plughw:0,0 -c 2 -r 16000 -f S16_LE - | aplay -D plughw:0,0 -c 2 -r 16000 -f S16_LE - works [20:05] however, if "c 2" is changed to "c 1", no output [20:05] groober: Or a sudo at the front [20:05] groober: Looks like OSX's syntax is slightly different than GNU su's, try this: su root -c "dd if=/Users/myname/Desktop/Desktop.img of=/dev/disk1 bs=1m" [20:05] is there something similar to this with nvidia? http://www.thefanclub.co.za/how-to/ubuntu-amd-catalyst-install [20:05] i have been trying to use alsamixer to get decent sound, but nothing [20:05] plus, I cannot listen to music with, say, gmusicbrowser and talk to the embedde mic [20:06] !nvidia [20:06] For Ati/NVidia/Matrox video cards, see https://help.ubuntu.com/community/VideoDriverHowto [20:06] okay thanks [20:06] hi, i used the gui package manager to install binary blob drivers from ati (yes, i know bad idea) and screwed up my X install. can't fing the package name on command line to remove the binary blob. Any ideas what's the name? [20:07] cloneG, most people just use the addational-drivers tool (or tab) to install the needed drivers [20:07] I dont know what to do more! I am going nuts [20:07] wilee-nilee: I have backup but I won't touch /dev/sdb. [20:08] cloneG, whats your video card? is it one of those dual video optimius setups? [20:08] Guest31542, Cool just checking you want to be able to recover under any circumstances. ;) [20:08] I ve been trying to make my graphic card work for three days [20:08] the point is it s been working like a charm for four months... [20:08] and suddenly the frame rate slowered... [20:08] wilee-nilee: I just can't understand why installer offer install GRUB on /dev/sda BUT won't install all system there [20:09] I lost my patience and reboot.. [20:09] bad idea [20:09] it was the end [20:09] I think it is related to kernel upgrade but i cant really tell [20:10] Guest31542, UEFI is funky the manufacturers have their own tweaked versions. The only place where I have seen any actual help within this context is from a mod on the ubuntu forums that is focused on uefi. [20:10] you can select older kernels from the Grub Boot Menu. [20:10] wilee-nilee: I just can't see /dev/sda on the installer menu! But I can format or create any partions on one. [20:10] nantou, is pulseaudio installed ? [20:10] Jordan_U: http://pastebin.ubuntu.com/5623811/ [20:10] BluesKaj, yes [20:11] Guest31542, There is one user on here now who is closer than most, but They have to repond in their own time if they want to. [20:11] startx will throw a 'could not open the device file /dev/nvidia0(input/output error) [20:11] does anyone know how to get rid of the more suggestions in the applications menu in 13.04? [20:11] nantou, pavucontrol ? [20:11] !adlens [20:11] If you wish not to see "More Suggestions" from places like Amazon in your Ubuntu 12.10, simply remove the package unity-lens-shopping, or adjust your Privacy settings as shown here: http://goo.gl/kFO4u . Mark Shuttleworth's blog entry on this is at http://goo.gl/uF7zZ [20:11] groober: I give specific commands for a reason, if you think they need to be changed ask me about it, but don't just change it yourself. Please run exactly the command I gave you. [20:11] BluesKaj, yes [20:11] wilee-nilee: very nice) [20:11] cloneG: dont use startx. start the lightdm [20:11] ubottu: I already did that [20:11] Brutusss: I am only a bot, please don't think I'm intelligent :) [20:11] oh right [20:11] groober: Line 9 following. It works very well and clearly tells you "admin" has no access to /dev/disk1 [20:12] Brutusss, askubuntu.com most likely has several hits on tweaking the dash to remove the lens you dont want [20:12] dr.willis what the addational-drivers is? a package? [20:12] Dr_willis: I wan't the lens. i really do. just not the ads [20:13] wilee-nilee: I will try to plug out drive with windows and then install ubuntu [20:13] i found it for the other lenses, already put my privacy settings up [20:13] Brutusss, thats handled by the shopping-lens package i belive. [20:13] k1l: that will get stuck at checking battery state...............[ok] [20:13] how can I convert a video into an image sequence? OpenShot has this option but it only ouptuts 320x240 images. Is there any way of getting higher resolution with ffmpeg or something else? [20:13] Jordan_U: well, try #2 is that [20:13] dd: /dev/disk1: Permission denied [20:13] groober: No, it's not. [20:13] is there a keylogger that works in studio? [20:13] Guest31542, I can't really help with any confidence other than to direct you to the right place. ;) [20:14] cloneG: startx doesnt work in ubuntu. start lightdm and see the logs for errors [20:14] Dr_willis: that's what I thought. I removed it from my computer but it's still showing up, but only with applications. i was able to remove them from the other menu options [20:14] Kroach, i belive ffmpeg, and mencoder can both convert a video file in to single image files one image per frame. [20:14] wilee-nilee: I think it can be worked. brb) [20:14] * wilee-nilee know we all have pipe dreams, lol [20:16] k1l: /var/log/Xorrg.0.log ---> [E][E] failed to initialize the nvidia gpu at pci 1:0:0 please check your system's kernel log [20:16] groober: If you're having trouble retyping the command correctly you can always copy and paste (in fact I would highly recommend doing so, especially when a command you retyped fails). [20:16] cloneG: first make sure you have the kernel headers installed. then install nvidia-current [20:16] Dr_willis: that site is great :) [20:16] hi [20:16] gsettings set com.canonical.Unity.ApplicationsLens display-available-apps false [20:16] that worked :) [20:16] k1l: Kern.log ---> NVRM: RmInitAdapter failed!

[20:17] hi, i used the gui package manager to install binary blob drivers from ati (yes, i know bad idea) and screwed up my X install. can't fing the package name on command line to remove the binary blob. Any ideas what's the pkg name? can someone quickly look it up for me? would be much apprecaited. [20:17] k1l: kernel-headers-generic already installed [20:18] cloneG: make sure its the right one for your kernel installed [20:18] k1l: how do I know? [20:18] can anyone recommend a PDF editor that will work with 12.04? [20:19] on my laptop I need to use the nvidia drivers, but even though I have them installed, ubuntu 13.04 still loads the nouveau driver. How can I make sure it loads the nvidia driver? [20:19] cloneG: dpkg -l |grep linux-headers [20:19] kuranevi, google hit for 'librecad dwg' finds --> http://libregraphicsworld.org/blog/entry/librecad-gets-native-dwg-importer [20:19] I am looking for people there know something about strobe in parrallelport programming strobe shall go on or off [20:20] cloneG: make sure its matches with your kernel (uname -a) [20:20] leptone editor means an highlighter [20:20] k1l: 3.5.0 yes sir! same version the kernel is [20:21] cloneG: ok. then see the kernel log as mentioned in the error msg you just posted [20:21] savio, ?? [20:21] I also posted what it is in [20:21] NVRM: RmInitAdapter failed! [20:22] k1l: NVRM: RmInitAdapter failed! [20:22] k1l: not enough clues for me [20:22] balachmar: First, to make sure you have nvidia properly installed, these packages should be installed: linux-image-generic linux-headers-generic linux-source build-essential and dkms ... then, to make sure nouveau does not load at boot: in /etc/default/grub the line: GRUB_CMDLINE_LINUX="nomodeset" and then: sudo update-grub then install nvidia-current [20:23] cloneG: which ubuntu? which video card? which driver? (driver from ubuntu or where from?) [20:23] leptone u need text highlighter in pdf like adobe x [20:23] balachmar: Additionally, in /etc/X11/xorg.conf you need it to specify there [20:23] k1l: ubuntu 12.04 64 bit nvidia geforce 8800 Gt [20:23] genii-around: ok so I need to add the nomodeset kernel option [20:23] k1l: driver from swat repo [20:24] I have teamviewer here if some can help me [20:24] k1l; nvidia-current-updates [20:24] cloneG: then please ask the swat guys whats wrong with their drivers [20:24] balachmar: If you do: lsmod ...right now, does it show both nvidia and nouveau ? [20:24] k1l:http://ppa.launchpad.net/ubuntu-x-swat/x-updates/ubuntu [20:24] cloneG: the nvidia in 12.04 didnt have problems with the 8800 and 8600 [20:24] Hi, I have a question regarding graphics drivers. I own a ThinkPad Edge E530, which mostly runs great, except for the fact that I can only boot into an Xfce/Gnome Classic session (12.10 and 13.04 both exhibit this behaviour). The system has dual graphics, which I suspect is the issue... I pasted my lshw output if anyone can spare any advice? Thanks! http://paste.ubuntu.com/5623851/ [20:25] genii-around: nope, lsmod only shows nouveau [20:25] k1l: I know ! I told you I ve been using the system wonderfully 3d since a couple of weeks [20:26] k1l: reinstall ubuntu? [20:26] balachmar: I would do the other steps then to ensure the nvidia driver is being built properly. I had this issue early on with 13.04 [20:26] back here, i was disconnected [20:26] hi, i used the gui package manager to install binary blob drivers from ati (yes, i know bad idea) and screwed up my X install. can't fing the package name on command line to remove the binary blob. Any ideas what's the pkg name? can someone quickly look it up for me? would be much apprecaited. [20:26] k1l: i am starting to consider that chance [20:26] cloneG: whats the issue? [20:26] at 22:16 [20:26] genii-around: ok, I was missing the kernel source at least [20:27] cloneG: if you use a 3rd party PPA and that breaks your ubuntu its not ubuntus fault. [20:27] balachmar: Also here is an xorg.conf file: http://paste.ubuntu.com/5623857/ [20:27] k1l: true [20:27] k1l: what would you do? [20:27] cloneG: you could use ppa-purge to remove that and see if its working with the original ubuntu drivers [20:27] Jordan_U: if you answered me, please repeat [20:28] k1l: I ll follow your advice [20:28] k1l: have a nice day [20:28] okay guys this is seriously driving me insane for some reason theres a solid line at the top of flash videos and i can not for the life of me figure out how to fix it because it does it randamly sometimes itll show up and sometimes not [20:28] groober: You did not run the command I gave you. If you're having trouble retyping the command correctly you can always copy and paste (in fact I would highly recommend doing so, especially when a command you retyped fails).

I am new and am using the new gnome 13.04 and thought I would say hello and introduce myself. [20:31] Anyone? this is seriously driving me crazy [20:31] groober: And that's not the command I gave you. [20:31] groober: Would you like me to repeat it? [20:31] yes, please [20:31] groober: su root -c "dd if=/Users/myname/Desktop/Desktop.img of=/dev/disk1 bs=1m" [20:32] some here know how to use Strobe in port programming i shall have strobe high og low ole in denmark [20:32] Riley-, checked askubuntu.com ? i cant say ive heard of anyone else with a solid line at the top of flash videos. [20:32] ive looked everywere [20:32] im seriously about to give up [20:32] im almost positive it has to do with notifyosd because it pops up sometimes when i change my volume [20:33] Jordan_U: only difference is root in place of admin. but admin is an administrator of the machine [20:34] theres one question about it but nobody replied [20:34] Can Ubuntu run smoothly on my computer?

[20:35] groober: An "administrator" account rarely has root privileges, at most they have rights to use sudo to run commands as root. A command writing directly to a disk device needs to be run as root. [20:35] I did, but after [20:35] @genii-around, I now have done what you said, rebooted. now my resolution is borked. It is still using nouveau however, nvidia does show up on lsmod now [20:35] After I logged in, it was slow and unusable [20:36] plusJon, On a cd, are you familiar at all with open source? [20:36] Jordan_U: if i do it with my admin, it reads dd: /Users/myname/Desktop/Desktop.img: No such file or directory [20:36] not permission denied [20:36] I had installed via a usb. [20:36] groober, sounds like you are using the wrong path or filename [20:37] i copy pasted it [20:37] plusJon, Have you tried to get help here to find problems? [20:37] groober, whats the exact command you are using? [20:37] actually, drag&drop [20:37] That's what I'm doing now. :P [20:37] bash-3.2$ su admin -c "dd if=/Users/myname/Desktop/Desktop.img of=/dev/disk1 bs=1m" [20:37] @genii-around, I did add nvidia to xorg... [20:38] groober: what? why are you using su [20:38] plusJon, Cool, always use nicks, so to get help you have to give details of specific problems, generally one at a time. ;) [20:38] groober, this is on os-x? i belve the gui does things with the CASE of filenames. douvble check the path and name with the SHELL. [20:38] I made a bootable Ubuntu USB, installed it. Once I logged it, it was so slow it was unusable. Went back to my Windows boot, and I'm seeking help here. [20:38] groober, your users actual name is 'myname' ? ;) [20:39] wilee-nilee huh? [20:39] groober: Your earlier pastebin shows that the result of that command was in fact "dd: /dev/disk1: Permission denied". Trust me, this command needs to be run as root, and the exact command I gave you will work (provided you know the root password, which you said earlier that you do). [20:40] Dr_willis: i just drag and dropped the file in terminal. no human errors [20:40] groober: Is there a reason that you don't want to run the command I gave you? [20:40] plusJon, Without any specific details and you having access to ubuntu while on here not much can be done possibly, do you have another computer or a smart phone to access the irc? [20:40] groober, double check the path with the shell. [20:40] I'm on windows right now. Just chatted: "Once I logged it, it was so slow it was unusable. Went back to my Windows boot, and I'm seeking help here." [20:40] I wonder if the Pendrivelinux site has tools for OS-X.. i imagine it does. [20:41] plusJon, And lol just repeating yourself and not reading my posts, good luck with that. ;) [20:41] Oh, wait, I was confused. :P [20:41] I see what you mean now.

[20:43] piero, reliable is a subjective. [20:44] Can anyone help me? :\ I can't really explain more to my issue as it simply runs very slowly. I right click, and it responds 30 seconds later.

[20:48] balachmar: So you did the /etc/default/grub edit and did: sudo update-grub ..? Might not hurt at same time to do: sudo update-initramfs -u ..as well.

[20:51] piero: "fag" is a highly negative term for homosexuals. [20:51] plusjon - damn o.O try running one of the lighter flavors man, ubuntu I think is too much for this xD [20:51] Jordan_U, i did not know that.. sorry [20:51] wilee-nilee: just letting you know, the ops don't like being triggered all the time, and if you've been around for a long time, you'd know that an op was already around and had responded to it before you did !ops [20:52] Jordan_U, for me.. its looks like a "hater", "mad people"..

I own a ThinkPad Edge E530, which mostly runs great, except for the fact that I can only boot into an Xfce/Gnome Classic session (12.10 and 13.04 both exhibit this behaviour). The system has dual graphics, which I suspect is the issue... I pasted my lshw output if anyone can spare any advice? Thanks! http://paste.ubuntu.com/5623851/ (sorry for repeat) [20:53] piero: still not an acceptable attitude towards someone volunteering their time to help you [20:53] @genii-around, yep [20:53] any suggestions for a FLV editor? [20:53] Ben64, he was never trying to help me.. [20:53] piero: move on [20:53] and i dont think we should continue this discussion.. not here at least [20:53] piero, just drop it [20:54] plusjon - try damn small linux or puppy linux [20:54] xaxa [20:54] tinycorelinux is really tiny. ;) [20:54] I was thining DSL, but didn't know that was a full linux. [20:54] anything i want here is to know which sun java source do you use? [20:54] plusJon, lubuntu would be the lightest 'ubuntu' variant. [20:54] never heard of tinycore. isn't puppy based on ubuntu anyway? [20:54] piero: i use java in the ubuntu repositories [20:54] !java | piero have a read and decide for yourself [20:54] piero have a read and decide for yourself: To just use java you need a "Java Runtime Environment" (JRE) and/or a browser plugin. If that is not sufficient you will need a "Java Development Kit" (JDK) aka "Software Development Kit" (SDK). Please see https://help.ubuntu.com/community/Java about how to install one of three current implementations. [20:54] I am having a problem with Ubuntu. [20:55] Chidubem: oh? [20:55] johnjohn101, thers so many puppy variants. I think theres a branch based on ubuntu (or at least using ubuntu repos) Puppy is very weird in many ways [20:55] balachmar: Does: grep nouveau /etc/modprobe.d/* return any results? [20:55] Chidubem, really? [20:55] A bunch of paxHeader folders has been created by it. [20:55] i cant use openjdk because the only vm working with my bank is sun jre7 [20:55] i've got a cgoban 3 java application on my desktop that i can run easily visually but via commandline it's not so easy to go by command any ideas? [20:56] piero, read th e links given you [20:56] darkmutt, how are you running it from the desktop? just doubleclicking the launcher? [20:56] I don't know why those folders have been created nor how to stop it. [20:56] yep just a simple doubleclick runs it after a while but it runs it [20:57] darkmutt, see what commandline command the launcher.desktop file is running [20:57] i was trying via commandline by it's name as the command when in desktop folder then with prepended . or /. [20:57] @genii-around, ok, just tried 310 instead of 313... but still the same effect. Really have no clue why ubuntu is using nouveau... [20:57] Does anybody know how to prevent that? [20:58] Chidubem, what is "it" [20:58] darkmutt, look IN the .desktop file see what the exec line is running [20:58] The automatic creation a bunch of paxHeader folders, I didn't create then, I think the Ubuntu system did. [20:59] Chidubem, what is the context of this please [20:59] any suggestions for a FLV editor? [21:00] I packed all my files to a .tar file for backup. Then I extracted them to a external hard drive. Then I fond folders named paxHeader. [21:00] as2000, most people use a video editor. then export to whatever final format they need i imagine. [21:00] Jordan_U: okay, i made it to work [21:00] balachmar: I'd suggest one more edit then to explicity blacklist nouveau in the /etc/default/grub file... add nouveau.blacklist=1 after where it says splash but inside the quotes. Then again: sudo update-grub&& sudo update-initramfs -u [21:00] now i hope it just works [21:00] Hi guys, any designers here? [21:01] define: designer [21:01] Inoki - for what.. xD [21:01] Inoki, designers of what? [21:01] Graphic designers. [21:01] Inoki: usually it's best to start with the most detailed question :> [21:01] Sorry. [21:01] Chidubem: where did you create the tar [21:02] genii-around, ok, just did that will reboot again... [21:02] How can I wget a website/dirs/subdirs if the site has one of those htpasswd things on it? I have the login for it, but don't know how to wget it. [21:02] Got a general question regarding resolution in GFX software and export. [21:02] Internal HDD. Where I have Windows and NTFS. [21:02] Inoki, whats the exact question [21:02] how do i disable amazon in dash for 13.04? my mom just gave me a call. [21:03] Chidubem: i mean operating system. looks like thats a problem in bsd/osx [21:03] !adlens > johnjohn101 [21:03] johnjohn101, please see my private message [21:03] problem is when i manage to log into that app all of a sudden i can't click anything in the second created window and that makes it impossible to use said app [21:03] bazhang: I don't understand why if I get correct dimensions of a let's say banner and do exactly according to those dimensions, export at 96 PPI , which is the resolution of my display to get what I see the banner still doesn't fit? What could possibly go wrong? [21:03] I was using Ubuntu 12.10. I am using Ubuntu 13.04 now. === nugget is now known as Guest84306 [21:03] Inoki, web design? [21:03] bazhang: I've read countless articles on the internet stating that for web one should use the PPI of the monitor. [21:03] Chidubem: maybe you used bsdtar instead of tar? [21:04] bazhang: yer, web design. I know DPI is for printing. [21:04] Inoki: just make it the resolution you want it to be, dpi doesn't matter for screen at all [21:04] thanks, bye [21:04] I just right click the file and choose "Compress" I don't know which is the default program. [21:05] tx bazhang, she was getting annoyed [21:05] bazhang: that's the point. I made it according to the resolution of the target area to be placed on the web, in this case a Facebook banner. I made a banner 801 * 295 px and it doesn't display the same. [21:05] Dr_willis: I don't need to convert it, I need to edit an FLV file [21:05] bazhang: a group banner to be exact. [21:05] it's as if the mouse clicks simply go through the window :/ [21:05] johnjohn101, http://www.omgubuntu.co.uk/2013/04/10-things-to-do-after-installing-ubuntu-13-04 item 8 [21:05] as2000, the video editors all convert them internally as far as ive seen.. so you load it.. edit it.. export it/save it back to flv. [21:06] as2000, ive never seen a specific 'flv' editor. since flv is just a container format as far as i know [21:06] dr_willis: tx. i thought i had read it somewhere but slipped my mind. [21:07] despite some of the underwhelming reviews on 13.04, i love it. [21:07] I was using Files/Nautilus, and there is no bsdtar in my machine right now. But I upgraded to Ubuntu 13.04 [21:07] johnjohn101, people rant if ubuntu does too many changes.. now they rant when they dont do enough radical changes... [21:08] 12.10 to 13.04 is just a lot of Polish and little tweaks ;) and updated packages.. [21:08] when i go for /var/log/apache2 it says permission denied for this foldre ? [21:09] all of linux is rapidly getting mature. not sure how much more it can change, just keeps getting better. starting to wonder if six months release schedule in really necessary. [21:09] Ben64: I did. I made it exactly as the target resolution, it just doesn't display right. [21:09] Inoki: how do you know [21:10] Ben64: I checked the resolution of another banner of the same size via Chrome's inspector. [21:10] i started using ubuntu with dapper, it is unbelievable how much better it has gotten :3 [21:11] dapper was which version? I started using ubuntu 7.04 and 100% switched on home computer at 9.10. [21:11] 6.06 [21:11] Ben64: I just right click the file and choose "Compress" I don't know which is the default program. [21:12] when i go for /var/log/apache2 it says permission denied for this foldre ? [21:12] Ben64: I was using Files/Nautilus, and there is no bsdtar in my machine right now. But I upgraded to Ubuntu 13.04 [21:12] johnjohn101: It was 6.06 ... the first Ubuntu to be behind schedule by 2 months [21:12] I think the first SOLID release imo was 10.04. It was amazing [21:12] Will "rm rf *" work without sudo? [21:12] no driver issues at all [21:12] s/rf/-rf [21:12] just try it [21:13] SrPx: If the files in the directory you're in belong to you, it will wipe all those ones out [21:13] I can't believe it has come to the point where I dread reinstalling Windows because of driver hell.. [21:13] genii-around: woa. :( [21:13] SrPx: Use with caution. [21:14] Hi! Is is possible to configure "window border" and such in Unity (Ubuntu 13.04)? As I remeber, it was possible to conf themes more before in the Gnome-times. I think that the default window border is so large. [21:14] genii-around: what about "rm rf /" ? Is it innofensive? [21:15] SrPx: No, because /home/your-username is one of those recursing directories [21:15] genii-around: so even "rm -rf /" will delete stuff without sudo? [21:15] SrPx: ( which belongs to you and therefore you have the right to remove ) [21:15] who maintains unity tweak tool? [21:16] SrPx: that command will not work on ubuntu [21:16] SrPx: Yes, if anything under there belongs to the user making that command. [21:16] k1l_: Does it chunk out after hitting the first thing it can't remove? [21:16] genii-around: but I thought it would ask for root as you have no permission over / [21:16] SrPx: I haven't personally tried it because I don't want to find out. [21:17] genii-around: /2 heh [21:17] johnjohn101: apt-cache show packagename [21:17] genii-around: preserve-root thingy saves ubuntu [21:18] k1l_: Interesting. [21:18] what is preserve-root? [21:18] "man rm" who wants to find out more on that topic [21:19] Dr_willis: I just need to know an editor to use. I have an FLV file that is doing some funky things and want to see if I can salvage it [21:21] hmm, raring upgrade fucked up my test machine.... strange [21:21] * genii-around makes more coffee and keeps a lookout for balachmar [21:21] I can boot with recovery mode, but then the kernel hangs at usb initialization or during /scripts/init-bottom [21:22] Aison, nvidia graphics card? [21:22] llldino, yes [21:22] !language > Aison [21:22] Aison, please see my private message [21:22] Aison, Join the club. Boot into nosetmode for now I guess [21:22] can anyone hlelp me on a permissino denied for /var/log/apache2 ??? [21:22] anew, sudo the cmd [21:23] illovae: Aison it's nomodeset. see "/msg ubottu nomodeset" for details [21:23] thx all [21:23] llldino, what's it going to take to get that nosetmode fixed without the workaround? [21:23] let me try it [21:23] llldino i tried sudo cd but it says command not found ? [21:23] zykotick9, Really? I've been using nosetmode, is the cpu smart enough to correct my mistake? [21:23] !nomodeset [21:23] 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 [21:24] is that really an nvidia bug? [21:24] johnjohn101, Beats me. An update to the splash maybe? [21:24] genii-around, ok, I think I am going mad. even with the blacklist stuff it still loads nouveau instead of nvidia!! [21:24] johnjohn101, nividia is famous for messing up linux [21:24] where can I find directions for filing an ubuntu bug report? [21:24] balachmar: That is really weird. [21:25] !bug | waffle2 [21:25] waffle2: If you find a bug in Ubuntu or any of its derivatives, please file a bug using the command « ubuntu-bug » - See https://help.ubuntu.com/community/ReportingBugs for other ways to report bugs. [21:25] thanks. [21:25] if I tried to run ubuntu server on an athlon 1.4ghz with 768mb ram, would it be acceptable or like totally slow? [21:25] anew, sudo cd would not actually do anything. [21:25] genii-around, and I see the nomodeset and blacklist stuff in grub.cfg as well. So the grub config was updated [21:25] chutney, It depends what you're running on it [21:25] i agree with linus' reaction to nvidia last year [21:25] anew, sudo ls /path/to/whatever/ would show th efiles [21:25] balachmar: At some point, did you try and install the driver from the main nvidia site, bypassing the package manager? If so, then this may also explain [21:26] llldino, I was thinking ubuntu 12 server [21:26] chutney, Yeah but what are you serving? Webpages? [21:26] yes [21:26] chutney, What's your traffic going to be like? [21:26] genii-around, nope, because I know it might mess up your setup [21:26] not much traffic, just as a test development server for one client [21:27] genii-around, even weirder is, that lsmod does not show nouveau anymore, but it is still in the kernel.log [21:27] chutney, It would probably be acceptable. Depends on what your tx rate is and what kind of content is on the webpages [21:27] I also blacklisted it in the modules stuff [21:27] it would only be on a 100mbit lan [21:27] ah yes dr_willis, so then i see the files in here, how do you change things so i can cd in there ? or is that not recomended ? [21:28] holasss [21:28] anew, what are you even needing to do in there? [21:29] !permissions | anew [21:29] anew: An explanation of what file permissions are and how they can be manipulated can be found at https://help.ubuntu.com/community/FilePermissions [21:29] balachmar: If lsmod doesn't show it, then it's not *currently* loaded, which is something. Does the 4 lines: blacklist nouveau and: blacklist lbm-nouveau and: alias nouveau off and:alias lbm-nouveau off ...appear in the file /etc/modprobe.d/nvidia-graphics-drivers.conf ? [21:29] dr_willis i just want to look at the logs with my ftp client [21:29] chutney, I am running an ubuntu webserver on a vps with 512 MB ram, though I opted for lighttpd instead of apache [21:29] anew, change permissions on the directory then. and perhaps the files.. Better to use ssh these days and not ftp. [21:30] not even to view logs dr_willis ? [21:30] yes, although my file is called: nvidia-310_hybrid.conf [21:30] anew, sudo cat /path/to/the/file [21:31] genii-around, yes, although my file is called: nvidia-310_hybrid.conf [21:31] balachmar: Ok. Thats fine then. [21:31] bleh [21:31] i like my ftp :( [21:31] then.. Change the permissions on the files.. [21:31] if thats what you want. [21:31] you down with ftp? THEN YOU KNOW ME [21:32] http://mywiki.wooledge.org/FtpMustDie [21:32] balachmar: I'm out of immediate ideas [21:32] Ftp is just asking for trouble, ssh does the same function more securely [21:32] i dont understand tho, what trouble? dont i need to use it to transfer files for my website ? [21:33] anew, Ftp transmits passwords in cleartext [21:33] anew, file transfer is ftps main design goal.. so You just sort of said you dont need t use ftp then... [21:33] anew, And otehr content [21:33] if all you wan tto do is view your log files.. ssh works well for that. [21:33] I thought vsftpd could handle encrypted passwords? [21:33] balachmar: Are you using one of those cards with both nvidia and intel? [21:34] meh ok, so dr_willis can i use sftp for uploading files to my server then? or that's bad also ? [21:34] genii-around, yep [21:34] anew Sftp - the S -> its using the ssh features [21:34] genii-around, although I have put it to nvidia only in the bios [21:34] oh [21:34] hello [21:34] so if i'm using sftp no big deal if i do everything thru there right ? [21:35] genii-around, that was required before... maybe not anymore? [21:35] !ssh | anew [21:35] anew: SSH is the Secure SHell protocol, see: https://help.ubuntu.com/community/SSH for client usage. PuTTY is an SSH client for Windows; see: http://www.chiark.greenend.org.uk/~sgtatham/putty/ for it's homepage. See also !scp (Secure CoPy) and !sshd (Secure SHell Daemon) [21:35] balachmar: Not sure, I haven't had to set up bumblebee or so on :-/ But it's a possibility [21:36] balachmar, Are you having trouble with boot using nvidia too? [21:36] genii-around, I never set up bumblebee either, because I don't care about the switching, I just need the nvidia stuff to work [21:36] balachmar: All the other things check out [21:36] balachmar - look into setting up bb then, it is really easy [21:36] back [21:36] I tried with nomodeset [21:36] llldino, booting is fine, it just isn't using the nvidia drivers and hence performance is bad... [21:36] but no help [21:37] the kernel hangs after printing a few lines [21:37] balachmar, Did you try the drivers from Xorg? [21:37] balachmar: But you said nouveau wasn't loaded now... maybe it's going to the intel driver? [21:37] llldino, xorg? I am trying to use the nvidia drivers form the repo [21:37] balachmar - I am using GeForce GT 540M/PCIe/SSE2 with bb and it works beautifully [21:38] balachmar, Yeah sry that's what I meant. [21:38] balachmar - don't use nvidia drivers from repos :0 [21:38] I heard that breaks things [21:38] @compex, is there a guide for setting it up? I generally want to stick to repo stuff as much as possible [21:39] @compex, generally you break things by using the nvidia driver straight from nvidia... === aaron_coleman is now known as acoleman1981 [21:39] balachmar - it is really easy o.o https://wiki.ubuntu.com/Bumblebee [21:39] balachmar: Maybe if you pastebin /var/log/Xorg.0.log and possibly ~/.xsession-errors there may be some clues [21:39] balachmar - I heard using the nvidia drivers from repos with optimus breaks stuff [21:40] nvidia + linux = disaster anyways, at least in my case [21:40] balachmar - some people just end up getting black screens [21:40] llldino - it is a lot better now, pretty smooth now a days :P [21:40] i've never had issues with nvidia [21:40] llldino: depends :/ [21:40] llldino, this is the first time I am having any real issues. And it is because of optimus tech [21:40] Well I mean with new kernals like raring [21:40] HelloWorld from XUbuntu [21:41] I was pleasantly surprised at how well bumblebee worked. And nVidia is terrible, they don't support optimus on linux [21:41] alguien sabe como empaquetar una aplicacion en ubuntu? [21:41] BUT i've never used it when there were 2 GPU's in the computer [21:41] genii-around, aah, it says it cannot find the nvidia mod === kblin_ is now known as kblin [21:42] genii-around, and it is dropping to vesa drivers. hence the terrible res [21:42] I run live CD and in firefox when opening www.ubuntu.com (sub)pages, the formatting is wrong. As if CSS is not loaded. I tried several versions of Ubuntu CD (12.04, 13.04...) Is this some known issue? [21:43] nvidia has made some promises to support optimus on linux.. but no idea how much work they have actually done. [21:43] MrStein: Probably, but it's LiveCD so... [21:43] [21:43] usr13: what do you mean by "it's LiveCD"? [21:44] it's a shame, optimus is so awesome :3 [21:44] balachmar: Odd since lsmod is showing that nvidia driver loaded. [21:44] MrStein: You should install and not have to use just the LiveCD. [21:44] usr13: but I need it as a rescue system only. [21:44] genii-around, lsmod just says this for nvidia: nvidia 9410995 0 [21:44] MrStein: How about USB? [21:45] usr13: actually it is on USB. But don't see how this should affect the Firefox issue. [21:45] balachmar: The 0 at the end shows it's not being used by anything though :-/ [21:45] MrStein: So do your install on a USB. [21:45] MrStein, It's probably because flash/javascript/java isn't installed thru a LiveCD [21:46] genii-around, which agrees with the xorg log... [21:46] usr13: you mean live is unsupported/substandard? [21:46] MrStein - Live cd is a preview of a sort. [21:46] Hi, I've installed wine, openjdk and mplayer. No one of them is actually showed up in the "application" list to open with when I right click a file. Why? [21:47] balachmar: Well, I normally would not suggest a PPA but in this case you may want to try adding the xorg-edgers one since the drivers there may be working with the Optimus cards [21:47] compex: I know. It gives a negative preview, as it is.... [21:47] genii-around, I will call it a day for now. Will try some more tomorrow... [21:47] genii-around, thanks for the help! [21:48] and other too :) [21:48] MrStein - Not really. It is running an entire OS from your USB drive. You can't expect it to do everything but it does work very well for recovery stuff. [21:48] balachmar: You're welcome, just wish the issue was resolved. Good luck tomorrow. [21:48] compex: well it does quite a lot, so I don't see why CSS should not work... === mbeierl1 is now known as mbeierl [21:49] MrStein - I wasn't paying attention, exactly what problem are you having? [21:49] MrStein: I did not say that it is unsupported or substandard, but as compex points, the LiveCD part is for demo, (not a system you would use as if it were full blown OS). I've given you the best advise. [21:49] compex: www.ubuntu.com displayed with bad formattings (very basic, as if CSS is missing) [21:50] this ahppens with different versions of Ubuntu. [21:50] happens [21:50] I cleared cache and everything (ctrl-shift-del) and now it works. Bizarre. [21:50] hi, I can't connect to the internet on my computer, it's connected via ethernet, but how can I find out what is going on? [21:51] I'm connecting via another cable to this laptop and I'mpretty sure the cable going into the one that doesn't work is fine. [21:51] i was reading about all of the nvidia issues. what is bumblebee? [21:51] MrStein - it happens sometimes. I have had formatting issues happen on all OS's, refresh fixes it [21:51] Hi [21:51] shomon, Do ifconfig and post [21:51] MrStein: If you want to install Ubuntu, do so. If you have questions relate to a Ubuntu install, fire away. (I'm pretty sure you'll not find anyone here that is interested attempting to the browsing experience of a LiveCD). [21:51] johnjohn101 - It allows you to use both of your GPUs in optimus [21:52] johnjohn101: It's software that lets you switch outputs of one of those hybrid cards back and forth between the Intel and the Nvidia [21:52] I can't import pygame with python 3, can anyone help? [21:52] johjohn101 - and optimus is nvidia/intel technology that allows you to have 2 GPU, one dedicated and one integrated for performance and battery life [21:52] so intel chip with nvidia card? [21:53] ya [21:53] MrStein: Why don't you install on a USB drive? [21:53] it's really nice [21:53] i get ~6-8 hours of battery life on this laptop [21:53] Now I can get to the real problem: booting ubuntu 13.04-desktop-i386.iso from USB (live) gives corruption in reading the iso image. Happens on two USB stick, on USB3.0 port and USB2.0 port. Is this known? I get random errors, and md5sum gives wronf sum. I I read a lot from the USB and redo the md5sum, it gives correct results in this second run. [21:53] I want to execute a script when "shutdown" begins, but TERM signal hasnt been sent to the processes. I understand that this can be done using "upstart" which looks complicated. Is there an easy way to do this? [21:54] usr13: It is a rescue USB stick with many OS'es. Ubuntu installation would require own partition etc... too much hassle. [21:54] llldino, I only get "lo" details when I do ifconfig [21:55] then you're probably missing hte correct driver [21:55] MrStein - if your md5 is wrong.. I don't know xD You ahve very weird issues [21:55] shomon, Do you know what controller you have? You can do lspci -v | grep LAN to find out [21:55] for the LAN interface card [21:55] I've tried to start network-manager and networking in /etc/init.d but network-manager has most options grayed out [21:55] MrStein: What are you saying about the checksum? [21:55] just trying llldino [21:55] shomon, And have you installed restricted-extras package yet? [21:56] usr13: it is wrong in the first try, but later OK. As if some corruption happens during boot on the read data. [21:56] http://askubuntu.com/search?q=run+script+on+shutdown codepython777 has several ways. [21:56] MrStein: You ran md5sum on the iso image? [21:56] yes [21:56] twice [21:56] grep LAN gives nothing llldino [21:56] first is always wrong on each boot, reproducibly [21:56] I'll check.. not sure how to check it's installed... [21:56] shomon, Do you know what LAn controller you have? [21:56] shomon: try ifconfig -a [21:57] compex: i was thinking of a new nvidia card for steam. what is optimal and where i will have no issues installing the nvidia drivers? [21:57] shomon, You can do sudo apt-get install ubuntu-restricted-extras and if it's installed nothing will happen [21:58] MrStein, What app are you using to load the usb? [21:58] Dr_willis: thanks. Interesting - On ubuntu: /etc/init.d/README says I'm on debian :) [21:58] wilee-nilee: it boots with GRUB4DOS, I just copy the ISO file on it and add an entry into menu.lst [21:59] llldino, okay [21:59] maybe I should try booting with grub2 [21:59] MrStein, So what is your goal here one iso or many and what OS's do you have to work with? [21:59] johnjohn101 - I have never had an issue with nvidia hardware after 10.04, you are pretty safe in getting anything you want [21:59] wilee-nilee: many ISOs bootable from USB stick [21:59] ifconfig -a now gives both eth0 and lo, but eth0 has no net addr value [21:59] shomon, If you're using xubuntu or lubuntu, replace ubuntu with xubuntu ect.. [22:00] it's ubuntu [22:00] ok [22:00] compex: why all the nvidia issues i see on this board? nomodeset? [22:00] MrStein, the Pendrivelinux site has some tools for linux to setup grub2 on a usb to boot differnt iso files [22:00] johnjohn101, Because it's nvidia [22:00] /etc/rc6.d/K99xx.py - is this executed at shutdown before or after TERM is sent to all processes? [22:01] MrStein, Ans what installed OS's personaly I use the multisystem usb loader it runs from ubuntu or linux, one partition and uses grub4dos fro windows boots and grub 2 for others. [22:01] http://www.pendrivelinux.com/multiboot-create-a-multiboot-usb-from-linux/ [22:01] llldino, "ubuntu-restricted-extras is already the newest version" [22:01] that is the one [22:01] sorry am running between the too pooters [22:01] two [22:01] shomon, Hm, do you see anything with lspci? [22:01] I already created a multiboot USB [22:01] I just have weird (RAM?) corruption with latest ubuntu [22:02] shomon, What do you mean? Sharing interntet? [22:02] buggy drivers can cause memory corruption [22:02] both computers are connected to the same wifi device, the one that isn't working was working fine 4 months ago when I had it out of it's box last [22:03] llldino, I checked lspci but maybe I need to grep it.. loads of info [22:03] so.. i use a PS/2 mouse and i want to increase the polling rate of it. i found this: http://www.unixresources.net/linux/lf/45/archive/00/00/08/77/87711.html but i don't have /etc/X11/XF86Config. guess that's obsolete as that thread is from 2004? === warfaren_ is now known as warfaren [22:03] Realtek Semiconductor Co is the last line though [22:03] shomon, You said Grep lan didn't show anything, maybe scroll through the list and look for a wireless LAn card. Did you do LAN in caps? [22:03] johnjohn101 - I honestly have no idea. I had to set up my friend's desktop with linux last thursday and he was running an nvidia card (forget which) and it went without a hitch [22:03] yes and without :) [22:04] !memtest | MrStein [22:04] shomon, You're probably going to have to install the driver manually then. What card do you have? [22:04] but I'm not connected over wireless [22:04] there is no wireless card, only eth0 straight to the wifi box [22:04] usr13: it only happens with ubuntu 13.04, others are fine [22:04] shomon, ..What's your issue? You want Wifi cxn right? [22:04] no [22:04] compex: thanks. just trying to figure out new equipment. seriously my intel box at home is 5 years old and runs all ubuntu features on a live cd [22:04] I want eth0 [22:04] no wifi on this computer [22:05] I am connecting via cat5 cable direct to wifi modem [22:05] you mean "router" [22:05] but it used to work.. now I don't know why it stopped, but something is read only [22:05] yeah sorry [22:05] MrStein: You "have weird (RAM?) corruption with latest ubuntu"? [22:06] MrStein: What is your question? (I'm afraid we do not understand.) [22:06] shomon, Try a different cable? Or verify the cable works. Does the port on your modem/cpu work? [22:06] I have tried a few. ok will change port on the router, I hadn't tried that! [22:06] I am looking for a free Avery 5931/8931 cd & dvd labeling template to use in GIMP. I have already check the [22:06] MrStein, if it doesn't happen with other versions, you might have gotten a bad livecd download, or it could be buggy drivers in 13 [22:06] us13: is there a RAM/filesystem/dev corruption bug in latest ubnut? because I experience it. [22:06] shomon, And doers lspci -v | grep Ethernet give anything? [22:07] Maybe the adapter is old and can't autodetect from straight-thru to crossover [22:07] ...avery site. does anyone know where I can find free Avery 5931/8931 cd labeling template? [22:07] MrStein: I don't think so. [22:07] chutney: the md5sum is OK, so the download is not bad [22:08] MrStein, I have seen md5's be correct and yet corrupt. [22:08] hmm [22:08] I plugged it into another port on the router, and the computer just hung [22:08] :) [22:09] ah well, restarting. I guess something interesting has happened... [22:10] shomon, You can try restarting the modem too. I know my modem gets weird if it's left on for a long time. Clear DHCP cache too for good measure [22:10] for a straight cable connection. either you need a crossover cable. (or a hub) or one (or both) of the nics need to have that Auto Sensceing feature. I think all the 1000speed nics have that feature [22:10] ok well.. I'll be gone for a bit if I do that, back now! [22:10] shomon, gl [22:10] gridwest: avery.com [22:11] gridwest, I see nothing on the web for ubuntu or linux [22:11] auto sensing has been around for ages i think.. even my old xbox (from 2001) has it [22:11] wilee-nilee: would you trust sha256sum? [22:12] MrStein, I think you are caught up in assumptions, that is what I accept. ;) [22:12] wilee-nilee: I just checke sha256 , it is OK. [22:12] Alright thanks, I check the avery site and downloaded a template for 5931/8931 and it does not work well, thanks for the help. === shomonn is now known as shomon [22:13] wilee-nilee: you do realize how unlikely it is to get correct MD5 (and SHA256) for a bad download? [22:13] MrStein, Could be your usb setup try one that is known to work. [22:13] hi again [22:13] shomon, Did it work? [22:13] while booting, the computer said "waiting for network configuration" for a while [22:13] wilee-nilee: this one works, I have 10 ISOs on it that worked until now [22:13] I'm waiting to log in now.. it didn't seem to find a connection though [22:13] also the 2 I tried now continue to work [22:14] MrStein, It does not seem to work for what you are trying, this is an assumption, however you are assuming it does. [22:14] shomon, Try lspci -v | grep Ethernet [22:14] ok.. still in the darkness of slow login :S [22:14] gotta go, thanks for everything... === Odysimus_away is now known as Odysimus [22:15] 02:00 0 Ethernet controller: realtek Semiconductor Co. , Ltd. RTL8101E/RTL8102EPCI Express Fast Ethernet controller [22:16] hello, I installed windows 7 on a system with ubuntu, but now I can't choose boot with grub and I'm forced to boot windows. how can I fix that? Is there a grub rescue iso? [22:17] faLUCE: you can boot a live cd, chroot and install grub again. or you can use EasyBCD from windows to add ubuntu into its boot menu [22:17] !grub | faLUCE [22:17] faLUCE: 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 [22:17] faLUCE: See https://help.ubuntu.com/community/RestoreGrub [22:17] !fixgrub | faLUCE [22:17] shomon, Still no connection? [22:17] llldino, it works now, but I had to manually run "start network-manager" as sudo [22:18] shomon, Oh just add that to the startup script then; though it should automatically start [22:18] where is the startup script? [22:18] warfaren: easybcd is not free... is there anything similar and free for windows? [22:19] can i get help here for arpspoof? or what would be the more appropriate channel? [22:19] llldino, do you know where I might find the startup script? it's ubuntu 12.04 [22:19] faLUCE: it's free for private use. [22:20] shomon, Go to Settings > Startup and add network manager to startup programs [22:20] thanks! [22:20] Hello. I'm trying to setup exim. Having some trouble with it claiming not to be able to bind to port 25, but it is in fact bound to it. It's not accept connections on it, though. [22:20] shomon, There's probably an easier way but that goes beyond the scope of my knowledge [22:20] where would i go to talk about arpspoof? backtrack wasn't very helpful [22:20] hmm another question then. how do I get rid of unity or whatever this line of icons is down the side of the screen [22:21] Hi all [22:21] redj1122, try kali-linux [22:21] shomon, use a differnt desktop. [22:21] shomon, Install xubuntu instead :) [22:21] I'd rather have the old fashioned thing I used to have :) [22:21] warfaren: thanks [22:21] shomon: ubuntu-desktop xubuntu-desktop lubuntu-desktop etc. [22:21] so no way of removing that and running xfce or something with ubuntu? [22:21] !nounity | shojo [22:21] shojo: Ubuntu 11.10 and higher use GNOME 3 with the !unity shell by default. To use GNOME Shell instead, from 12.10 an up install the "ubuntu-gnome-desktop" package. From 11.04 to 12.04, 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. Using Natty? See !classic [22:21] it's not the distro i have a problem with. arpspoof -i wlan0 -t (target) (router) returns with "couldn't arp for host ..." [22:21] shomon: I use xubuntu-desktop [22:21] shomon, you can easially install xubuntu-desktop and have xfce [22:21] faLUCE: no worries. if they're making you register just search for "easybcd free" and you'll surely find it somewhere else :P [22:21] cool, thanks! [22:22] sorry shojo for the info spam :) [22:22] ;) [22:22] shomon: just do sudo apt-get install xubuntu-desktop [22:22] oh i see, go to their channel. alright [22:22] cool, thanks usr13 [22:22] thank you for the help :) [22:23] 13.10 + the gnome 3.8 ppas have the gnome devs official gnome-2 look mode i belive.

[22:45] /part [22:45] cpare: you may just not have partner enabled [22:45] jrib - I do have partner enabled [22:45] Whoever just pinged me, PM me, because free node an safari won't let me scroll [22:45] jrib skype and apparmor 2.8.0 [22:45] minetape: minimize and unminimize [22:46] Xchat [22:49] someone in here who is a master on SQL? [22:49] Nkd - I may be able to help [22:50] Nkd - I work in Business Intelligence [22:50] Ok i will send the quistion i have in school [22:51] gr33n7007h, does one card have to be connected to the network while another does all the spoofing? i don't think so [22:52] redj1122, no [22:52] gr33n7007h, if i don't specify a target it will hold indefinitely but never shows any replies [22:53] redj1122, thats right there will be no output if you don't specify a target it spoofs the entire subnet [22:54] Hi, I am new here, but I have a problem with Ubuntu 13.04 in Dell XPS 15 using two monitors [22:54] Cpare: "The tax authority wants a list of persons working for company called Nordic Power. The list should only include the person identity numbers" [22:54] Cpare; maybe not so tuff quistion for you but still helpfull if you give me some input how to manage this in SQL [22:55] gr33n7007h, perhaps it's because i'm using my iphone. how do i scan for connected ip's. netmap? [22:55] Nkd - What do the tables look like? [22:55] Nkd - can I assume it's a single table [22:55] redj1122, nmap yes [22:55] I'm running Kubuntu 13.04 ony my ASUS K75DE laptop. I'm having Power Management issues. [22:56] Kubuntu sleeps fine and resumes from sleep fine, if I manually put it to sleep... However it will not seem to do anything on its own. [22:56] hi, i have a major problem with my thinkpad touchpad [22:57] For example, it will not Dim the Backlight, does not turn the screen off or put the laptop to sleep if left idle, even for extended periods of time. [22:57] whenever i use it to move the cursor and a second finger touches the pad, it stops moving [22:57] *the cursor stops moving [22:57] is there a way to disable that and emulator macbook behavior? [22:57] *emulate [22:58] Nkd - Assuming it's all in one table called Nkd_Data, and the table fields are (Company_Name, Person_ID, Person_Name) the SQL would be "Select Person_ID from Nkd_Data where Company_Name='Nordic Power'" [22:58] Nkd - do you have a table mapping for the database? [22:59] gr33n7007h, nmap isn't coming back with anything [22:59] tblCompany wich has ComID and ComName in it , and the you have the tblcitizen with citsSocSecNo, CitFirstName, CitLastName, CitMarriedTo , TaxKey and CitLastVisit [23:00] redj1122, what command did you use? [23:00] gr33n7007h, nmap xx.xx.xx.1-254 [23:01] Cpare: tblCompany wich has ComID and ComName in it , and the you have the tblcitizen with citsSocSecNo, CitFirstName, CitLastName, CitMarriedTo , TaxKey and CitLastVisit [23:01] Nkd - tblcompany is going to be a lookup table, are you familiar with those? [23:02] Nkd - and tblcitizen has the info for each "Citizen" === Odysimus is now known as Odysimus_away [23:02] Nkd - tblCompany will have the company info [23:03] redj1122, try redj1122 try: netdiscover -i wlan0 -r routerip/24 [23:03] gr33n7007h, i think my problem is that my iphone is at xx.xx.55.13 while i'm at xx.xx.24.15 [23:03] gr33n7007h, i'll try that [23:03] Nkd - So we will need to do an inner join on ComID [23:04] Nkd - or we could do a nested select, but that's probably not what your instructor wants to see [23:05] Cpare: ok yeah it feels like im not far away but still something is wrong on this [23:06] Nkd - Is there another table [23:06] Nkd - I don't see a ComID in the tblCitizen [23:07] nkd - so there is no clear way to join them [23:07] gr33n7007h, that was successful. i'm arping for the client-router, but get my previous problem when trying to tell the router i'm the client [23:08] gr33n7007h, in so many words, i'm halfway working [23:08] Cpare: yea you have a tblCompany with ComRegId and ComName [23:08] Cpare: maybe thats need to be involved to [23:09] redj1122, use arpspoof twice 1) target router 2) router target [23:10] gr33n7007h, i'm failing on router target [23:10] gr33n7007h, "can't arp as..." [23:10] redj1122, what is your router ip your ip and target ip? [23:11] Nkd - so ComName is the company name [23:12] anyone here use autofs? [23:12] !autofs [23:12] Automount is the modern way to mount directories over a network. It is much easier to manage and more economic in bandwidth than static mounts via fstab. For more info - https://help.ubuntu.com/community/Autofs [23:12] Cpare: yes that would be right i think [23:12] Nkd - but how do we get to the Citizen table - we have to find a table that references the ComID [23:13] spike spanish?... [23:14] gr33n7007h, router: xxx.xx.54.1, my ip: xxx.xx.24.15, target: xxx.xx.24.96 [23:15] Cpare: hmm yea thats my biggest quistionmark to, for me who just got the basics this is wierd. I know its hard for you now when you don't see the tables or relationships fully [23:15] Nkd - How many total tables in the example [23:15] gr33n7007h, just to confirm where do i find the router ip? [23:15] ubuntu 13.04 64 bit MotherBoard ASROCK n68-vs3 fx Not connected to the internet , http://tinyurl.com/bocr4lc [23:15] Nkd - I am only aware of two from what you have given me [23:16] redj1122, route -n [23:16] hi people [23:16] hello sylflo [23:16] Oh god. [23:17] Volk: Spike Spanish?, Plis? === eXpLod|oFF is now known as eXpLod|On === eXpLod|On is now known as eXpLod [23:18] Nkd - my list so far is [23:18] TblCompany [23:18] ComID [23:18] ComName [23:18] tblCitizen [23:18] citsSocSecNo [23:18] cpare: Please don't flood; use http://paste.ubuntu.com to paste; don't use Enter as punctuation. [23:19] +z [23:19] why do you like ubuntu ? it 's a bad os [23:19] than why are you on an Ubuntu channel ? [23:19] anyone here had success setting up bitlbee with skype? [23:19] gr33n7007h, that was the problem [23:19] redj1122, What was it? [23:20] Plis...canal in spanish?... [23:20] !es | edunat [23:20] edunat: En la mayoría de los canales de Ubuntu, se habla sólo en inglés. Si busca ayuda en español entre al canal #ubuntu-es; escriba "/join #ubuntu-es" (sin comillas) y presione intro. [23:20] join #bsd [23:20] Gracias. Tank you! [23:21] XD [23:21] edunat: de nada [23:21] sylflo and your using Free BSD I presume ? === eXpLod is now known as eXpLod|ON [23:21] * betrayd hands sylflo a slash === eXpLod|ON is now known as eXpLod|oFF [23:22] i was i'm on arch [23:23] ubuntu was better before i don't like it now [23:23] but i think it's a good os for people who come from Windows [23:24] ubuntu 13.04 64 bit MotherBoard ASROCK n68-vs3 fx Not connected to the internet , http://tinyurl.com/bocr4lc === Gasseus is now known as Rallias [23:26] sylflo: honestly I think xubuntu is a good starter from windows <7, similar ui and all [23:27] ubuntu or xubuntu it's the same it's the graphic interface which change that's all [23:27] sylflo if you really want to be happy, if you got enough skill that is..... Id say go with Gentoo :) [23:28] I don't like to compile with source it's too long [23:28] it did it with kde 4 hour [23:28] lol, alright.. [23:28] on freebsd [23:28] it nice if you need to change the code [23:28] sylflo: exactly, which is why I think {l,x}ubuntu would be better for new users from windows versions <=7, as the ui is more similar than unity. [23:29] i agree ntzrmtthihu777 [23:29] :P [23:30] personally I started with lucid, so I was rather miffed at the advent of unity. then I gave xubuntu a try lately and fell right in love :P [23:30] i started with ubuntu then freebsd then archlinux [23:30] yeah unity is to older ubuntus as windows 8 is to <=7 [23:32] You know, it kind of upsets me that Nautilus understands smb (Samba) and not nfs out of the box :( [23:34] yeah, strange no? [23:34] hello [23:34] Hello there! Does aMule 2.3.1-1 in 12.04 crashes with X errors to someone here? Running it from CLI, I get mainly "[xcb] Unknown sequence number while processing queue {newline}[xcb] Most likely this is a multi-threaded client and XInitThreads has not been called". (I'm using Trisquel, which is based off Ubuntu. I'm asking here to know if it is a Trisquel-specific bug.) [23:37] gustavo_cm: the best you'll get here is that they'll say, if it isn't ubuntu, no support [23:38] daftykins: thanks. I'm just asking if somebody have heard of that; if not, it's probably my_distro-specific, or even a weird personal bug. === lex is now known as Guest93860 [23:46] More likely a weird personal bug which doesn't happen to my distro's folks. Bye :-) [23:46] hello, I have just bought a new computer and it has two internal SSD's, in a RAID array I guess, is there any performance or concern in the BIOS method for the disks? I have IDE/RAID/AHCI modes but I wonder if I should change it, it is raid by default, but have read that AHCI is better, any advice? [23:48] hello all, anyone know how I can uninstall tweak? [23:48] I tried sudo dpkg -r ubuntu-tweak [23:48] Visor - what do you want out of the double SSD setup, Fault Tolerance [23:49] Visor - SSD in a mirrored set seems like a costly option [23:49] better question, is there a way to list installed programs? [23:49] Are there any official torrents of 13.04 [23:49] * r00t-err0r AFK [23:50] Visor - I use my SSD for the OS Only, and put my content on a Raid5 thats huge [23:50] If I 'do-release-upgrade,' does it re-partition the hard drive? [23:52] bray90820, Yes on the ubuntu site [23:52] cpare: It is an ultrabook, and it is advertised as a 128gb SSD, however when I turned it on and started looking at the specs I found that there are internally two disks with fdisk [23:52] i can't seem to find them [23:53] bray90820, http://www.ubuntu.com/download/alternative-downloads [23:53] cpare: So before wiping the disk and install Linux I wanted to make sure the right settings are in the BIOS since I've never used Linux on SSD's, and I read somewhere that using AHCI over RAID in the BIOS setting is better for some TRIM command which makes disk life longer [23:53] Thank you [23:54] but many things are being said on the internet... better ask someone with experience :) [23:54] so it's above 700MB now? [23:54] yes [23:55] so no more cd suppoet [23:55] bray90820, You can do the net install 30 MB [23:55] i will just use my flash drive [23:55] visor - I have a 256gb SSD in my XPS M1530, so I can speak with some authority :) [23:56] self imposed authority, lol === Karbowiak is now known as zz_Karbowiak [23:56] visor - I am on Ubuntu 13.04 and didn't do any significant tweaks [23:56] cpare: sure you can, and that's why I prefer to ask here than read forums, so what mode do you use for your disk? [23:57] visor - but I did verify the BIOS setting your talking about [23:57] how can I get that help again to replace unity? I'm installing xubuntu desktop [23:57] !shomon unityfree [23:57] hmm [23:58] shomon: I was doing the same, but it did not go too well [23:58] !unityfree [23:58] lol... oops [23:58] aaah that's it === mynt is now known as danielle [23:58] visor - My setting was AHCI (I believe) - starting my other laptop up to verify [23:58] !unityfree [23:58] shomon, removing unity is not a good idea, if you want xubuntu only install the xubuntu download. [23:58] shomon: it doesnt exist, apparenlty. [23:58] !nounity [23:58] Ubuntu 11.10 and higher use GNOME 3 with the !unity shell by default. To use GNOME Shell instead, from 12.10 an up install the "ubuntu-gnome-desktop" package. From 11.04 to 12.04, 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. Using Natty? See !classic [23:58] aah that's it, thanks wilee-nilee === danielle is now known as danie11e [23:59] shomon: what wilee-nilee said. I tried migrating from unity to xfce and it was not too pretty. [23:59] I did that on debian once and it was well worth it [23:59] anything to get rid of that abomination [23:59] cpare: I'd really appreciate if you take the time to check the setting :) I just don't want to do further troubleshooting, if AHCI is better supported on Linux then that'll be the one I set [23:59] You can have unity and xfce, you just have the unity apps is all. [23:59] cpare: thanks
