| sduncan | anyone with macbook pro seen something along the lines of this in /var/log/Xorg.0.log: "Failed to load module 'nvidia' (module does not exist, 0)". I've been trying to get 12.04 running on this mbp 6,2 for days now. | 00:02 |

| ben941 | hey can anyone help me with some basic concept questions about SnapRAID + Greyhole? | 00:12 |

| IdleOne | antman: not by flooding this channel. | 00:14 |
| ubuntuaddicted | antman, please stay on topic. this is an ubuntu help channel | 00:14 |
| stufffyy | does anyone know where the CONFIG_FW_LOADER file is? | 00:14 |
| ubuntuaddicted | ben941, nope, never heard of either | 00:15 |
| ben941 | They are basically opensource alternatives to options like unraid - allowing you to add to the raid/pool as you go and mix and match different drive sizes | 00:15 |
| ben941 | well darn | 00:15 |
| ubuntuaddicted | stufffyy, sudo find / -name CONFIG_FW_LOADER | 00:15 |
| ben941 | i hope someone shows up in the greyhole channel | 00:15 |
| daftykins | ben941: sounds like the worst idea ever. | 00:15 |

| SineTheCreator` | hi all. on the ubuntu site there is an icon for an alternative browser that is a dog paw with 'du' inside the logo | 00:15 |
| mega1 | i have ubuntu 11.10 connect to windows 2008 ad and i can logon how do i get it to get logon script from ad | 00:15 |
| daftykins | X13: ja i was gonna recommend that, but no biggy for now | 00:15 |
| X13 | daftykins: http://pastebin.com/RwQCze1x | 00:15 |
| SineTheCreator` | what browser is this? | 00:15 |
| X13 | daftykins: i tried and it failed | 00:16 |
| SineTheCreator` | nevermind, it's baidu | 00:16 |
| daftykins | ben941: have you used other RAID implementations before? hardware and software based? | 00:16 |
| harris | i need to turn off power saving | 00:16 |
| harris | how | 00:16 |
| stufffyy | ubuntuaddicted: thks | 00:16 |
| ben941 | if you look up raid alternatives you are bound to find unraid, freenas, and snapraid listed as free option | 00:16 |
| daftykins | X13: ah you forgot sudo :) | 00:16 |
| ben941 | daftykins: yes I have a raid 5 running on my windows machine now | 00:16 |
| X13 | opps | 00:16 |
| daftykins | ben941: software or hardware controller based? | 00:17 |
| ubuntuaddicted | stufffyy, i've heard of uNraid | 00:17 |
| X13 | daftykins: lol silly me anything else I should do? | 00:17 |
| ben941 | daftykins: hardware but not dedicated card - motherboard firmware AMD sb750 | 00:17 |
| daftykins | X13: err, if the -f install completed fine, i'd do a final "sudo apt-get update && sudo apt-get dist-upgrade" to be happy, then do a clean boot into the newest installed kernel | 00:18 |
| ben941 | daftykins: 3x 750GB WD Green drives in raid 5 for 1.5GB space total | 00:18 |
| X13 | Clean boot? | 00:18 |
| daftykins | ugh 3 disk RAID 5 :( | 00:18 |
| riddrib | god | 00:18 |
| daftykins | X13: ja just a restart | 00:18 |
| ben941 | daftykins: better than any other options if I wanted redundancy | 00:18 |
| ubuntuaddicted | 1.5GB total space? lol | 00:19 |
| daftykins | ben941: a friend runs ZFS, it sounds great | 00:19 |
| X13 | daftykins: ok cool | 00:19 |
| mega1 | does anyone know how to get a logon script from active directory | 00:19 |
| daftykins | ben941: my first was a 8 x 250GB RAID 5 on a 3ware controller for 1.75TB useable, latest is 6 x 1TB RAID 5. i've also put together a 8 x 2TB RAID 6 | 00:19 |
| daftykins | all on 3ware controllers. i love them ;x | 00:20 |
| ben941 | daftykins: right now i've already started setting up an old intel dual core w/ 3gb ram as a webserver/NAS box, ZFS was too high above my head for someone new to unix/linux style OS | 00:20 |
| daftykins | yeah, ZFS does sound like a headf*** when it's time to debug | 00:20 |
| daftykins | RAID5 is just nicer on >6 disks | 00:20 |
| ubuntuaddicted | my largest drive is only a 1TB | 00:21 |
| WeThePeople | how do i look at pid in terminal | 00:21 |
| WeThePeople | what command | 00:21 |
| ben941 | daftykins: I'd love to have that kind of money - getting my fakeraid Highpoint RocketRaid 622 card to even work with Ubuntu versions past 3.0 required modifying the build code myself.... horrible support for their cards despite claiming to be compatible with linux =/ unfortunately it came with my Hard drive cage and free was free | 00:21 |
| ubuntuaddicted | i've considered uNraid because I have all different size disks but you have to pay when you hagve more then 3 disks i think | 00:21 |
| ben941 | exactly what ubuntuaddicted said | 00:21 |
| th0r | WeThePeople: ps ? | 00:21 |
| ben941 | Is why I went with SnapRAID | 00:22 |
| ubuntuaddicted | WeThePeople, ps | 00:22 |
| ben941 | this is just a home server... | 00:22 |
| daftykins | ben941: =[ | 00:22 |
| daftykins | my 5TB is almost full sadly | 00:22 |
| daftykins | but i can't be bothered to drop another grand on disks | 00:22 |
| ubuntuaddicted | ben941, my trouble is going to be copying all my info from my scarttered drives to a RAID server once I set one up, it'll take forever over NFS | 00:22 |
| ubuntuaddicted | daftykins, WOW, 5TB worth of files? what, ripped blu rays? | 00:23 |
| ben941 | it now has 3x 3TB drives, 2 WD Green and 1 WD Red... the Red is set up as the Parity Drive. I will be adding the 3x 750GB WD Green drives and a few other extra drives ~500GB WD Cavier to the array once i get it set up | 00:23 |
| daftykins | ubuntuaddicted: a few TB of TV, few of film ja | 00:23 |
| ubuntuaddicted | daftykins, recorded yourself or torrented? | 00:23 |
| ben941 | it is this mix and match of drives that made me go with SnapRAID... that an other solutions for mixing and matching different drive types and sizes are not free or limit your drive numbers to 3 max (unraid) | 00:24 |
| ubuntuaddicted | daftykins, cause i use mythtv and love it | 00:24 |
| ubuntuaddicted | whats the smallest hdd you guys have seen? | 00:24 |
| ubuntuaddicted | i want to check approx ages here. heheh | 00:25 |
| daftykins | haha | 00:25 |
| daftykins | well i grew up with pre-HDD systems | 00:25 |
| ben941 | ubuntuaddicted: my use of plex server and complete abandon for my cable box recently is why I have gone this route to set up a homebuilt mediaserver/NAS in the first place :) I installed sickbeard and couchpotato but have not set it up - when I can afford a tuner card I might look into MythTV | 00:25 |
| daftykins | but i think one of the apricots had a 40MB magnetic tape reel based drive | 00:25 |
| ben941 | 500MB | 00:25 |
| WeThePeople | ubuntuaddicted, 6 mb | 00:25 |
| ben941 | oh well if you talk magnetic tape... | 00:25 |
| ubuntuaddicted | WeThePeople, wow man, thats tiny | 00:26 |
| WeThePeople | ubuntuaddicted, its ps -ef | 00:26 |
| ben941 | but I was only like 8 max then, in the reel storage room at the hospital my dad did IT work for | 00:26 |
| ben941 | noisy rooms | 00:26 |
| ubuntuaddicted | im talking hard DISK drives, platter | 00:26 |
| ben941 | I believe < 50MB - an old laptop from FDIC back in the mid 90s | 00:27 |
| ubuntuaddicted | my father purchased a macintosh plus and it didn't even come with a hard drive. lol | 00:27 |
| ben941 | mother has worked for FDIC for a long while | 00:27 |
| ubuntuaddicted | i'm asking that you guys have actually worked with yourself. | 00:27 |
| ben941 | it was something like 16mb, and odd number | 00:27 |
| === matthew__ is now known as x13 | ||
| ubuntuaddicted | me, it was a 4GB hard drive that came in a hitachi visionbook plus laptop, i swapped it out for a 10GB and was really excited. lol | 00:28 |
| x13 | daftykins: So i still cant get into the software center | 00:28 |
| daftykins | ah well i started to dabble with hardware once we got a 1,083MB seagate in a 'dan' Pentium 1, 120MHz | 00:28 |
| daftykins | my dad chose DOS 6.22 and Windows 3.11 over Windows 95 | 00:29 |
| daftykins | D: | 00:29 |
| ben941 | myself? I started building my computers with around 400-500mb drives | 00:29 |
| daftykins | x13: oh was that the original problem? :D tbh i never saw that | 00:29 |
| ubuntuaddicted | my dad paid $2600 for the mac plus in the late 80's, came with 1MB of RAM | 00:29 |
| loganlee | ubuntuaddicted: hahaha | 00:29 |
| harris | hello | 00:29 |
| ubuntuaddicted | BUT you could max it out at 4MB of RAM. lol | 00:30 |
| x13 | daftykins: yeah that and not being able to update but i think we took care of the later part | 00:30 |
| harris | i need to turn off power saving | 00:30 |
| loganlee | ubuntuaddicted: did it have tape drive? | 00:30 |
| ben941 | back when velociraptor from WD was a true 3.5in and the 7-7,500 rpm was the 'velociraptor' speed instead of 10,000 | 00:30 |
| loganlee | i remember very first computer i had had a tape drive instead of floppy | 00:30 |
| ubuntuaddicted | loganlee, i didn't have an internal drive, i think he bought an external hdd for it but don't know if it was tape or not | 00:30 |
| loganlee | oic hehe | 00:31 |
| daftykins | x13: that's what i like to hear \o/ | 00:31 |
| tuffgong | IS IT POSSIBLE TO UPGRADE FROM 12.04 TO 13.04 | 00:31 |
| === CanadianPirate|a is now known as CanadianPirate | ||
| harris | anyone | 00:31 |
| daftykins | tuffgong: yes but not directly. you have to go to 12.10 then to 13.04 | 00:31 |
| ubuntuaddicted | tuffgong, you have to first upgrade to 12.10, and then 13.04 | 00:31 |
| ben941 | To get an idea of my age - it was when windows was 3.x and you still ran most games from dos - and shutting down windows meant exiting to dos.... not near as old as tape drives (at least for home use) | 00:32 |
| x13 | daftykins: Yes indeed. Thankyou very much. Any ideas about the software center | 00:32 |
| ubuntuaddicted | harris, hello, just ask your questions | 00:32 |
| ubuntuaddicted | ben941, my father was an apple guy from the start, and schools back then were apple II and apple II GS so my first exposure to windows was 95 | 00:33 |
| ben941 | I'm scared to upgrade from 12.04 for my server at least - took enough code editing just to get the crappy RR62x esata card drivers from highpoint to work with anything above kernel 3.0 | 00:33 |
| tuffgong | daftykins,ubuntuaddicted the 12.10 package isnt thhere | 00:33 |
| donvito2 | is there a way to delete older ubuntu distros ? like 3.2.0.34 , 3.2.0-35 etc | 00:33 |
| mega1 | does anyone know how to get a logon script from active directory | 00:33 |
| ubuntuaddicted | ben941, on my media server I always stick with LTS releases | 00:33 |
| ben941 | ubuntuaddicted: now that you mention it, at my preschool they used all apple computers | 00:33 |
| daftykins | x13: my pleasure :) which version is this? tbh i've not used desktop ubuntu in a while. i'd try and find the program name, e.g. maybe it's 'ubuntu-software-centre' and run it from a terminal to see if it'll show error messages | 00:33 |
| netlar | I have a question about bluetooth, I get the message "Device added successfully, but failed to connect". Not sure if I need a driver or there is some fix I can do. | 00:34 |
| ben941 | at home was where my parents had the windows 3.x and dos | 00:34 |
| zykotick9 | donvito2: those are kernels. yes, you can uninstall the ones you don't use. | 00:34 |
| ubuntuaddicted | donvito2, yes, open synaptic and search for linux and you can remove old kernels | 00:34 |
| donvito2 | let me check | 00:34 |
| donvito2 | thanks | 00:34 |
| ben941 | donvito2: use google | 00:34 |
| x13 | daftykins: I am running the laptop version.... not exactly sure which one it is, i think 12.0.4 | 00:34 |
| zykotick9 | !google | ben941 | 00:34 |
| ubottu | ben941: While Google is useful for helpers, many newer users don't have the google-fu yet. Please don't tell people to "google it" when they ask a question. | 00:34 |
| ben941 | there are so many wiki articles to step by step walk you through an upgrade and removing old images it isn't even funny | 00:34 |
| daftykins | x13: cat /etc/lsb-release | 00:34 |
| netlar | I am already using blueman to help this this, how can I connect my speakers correctly? | 00:35 |
| zykotick9 | daftykins: running "lsb_release -a" would be a more common suggestion. | 00:35 |
| ben941 | i suggest giving a link to the ubuntu wiki on upgrading distros then - simply as it would be more useful to him than use trying to explain the steps | 00:35 |
| daftykins | zykotick9: ty, is that in all versions? | 00:35 |
| zykotick9 | daftykins: all debian based, and many other distros as well. | 00:36 |
| x13 | daftykins: says none existant file | 00:36 |
| zykotick9 | daftykins: "lsb_release -sc" is really handy ;) | 00:36 |
| ubuntuaddicted | what about cat /etc/issue | 00:36 |
| x13 | ubuntu 12.10 | 00:37 |
| x13 | daftykins: /issue worked 12.10 | 00:37 |
| guideX | 12.10 to 13.04 -> should I be worried? | 00:37 |
| ben941 | "sudo apt-get update" and "sudo apt-get upgrade" are at the start of SOOO many 'how-tos' | 00:38 |
| guideX | I already clicked the upgrade button | 00:38 |
| ben941 | guidex: do you have any add-in cards? | 00:38 |
| daftykins | zykotick9: do you have an answer as to the name of the software centre executable for x13 to try in a terminal ? | 00:38 |
| guideX | nope | 00:38 |
| guideX | i'm in a vm | 00:38 |
| ben941 | then no i wouldn't be concerned at all | 00:38 |
| guideX | ah cool | 00:38 |
| guideX | does anyone know if 13.04 performs better in vmbox with unity? | 00:38 |
| guideX | seems like 12.10 unity was non functional in a vm | 00:38 |
| guideX | err in vbox | 00:38 |
| ubuntuaddicted | guideX, you could just create another VM and install 13.04 in it. that's the great thing about VM'sd | 00:39 |
| guideX | that's true | 00:39 |
| ben941 | the performance is constantly being tweaked - and remember 12.10 was beta for much of the time, never an LTS | 00:39 |
| guideX | oh didn't know that about 12.10 | 00:39 |
| guideX | it performed quite well | 00:39 |
| harris | i need to turn off power saving | 00:39 |
| guideX | other than unity being slow as heck in vbox | 00:39 |
| ben941 | 12.04 was the LTS, 12.10 was not long term support | 00:39 |
| ben941 | thats likely because of unity having so much interface with internet databases, to purchase media etc | 00:40 |
| ubuntuaddicted | i stick with LTS personally | 00:40 |
| === ubuntu is now known as Guest25748 | ||
| ubuntuaddicted | just recently went to 12.04, was running 10.04.4 for the longest time | 00:40 |
| zykotick9 | compiz is a resource "hog", unity is a compiz plugin... | 00:41 |
| ubuntuaddicted | i have 1 machine running 12.10 with gnome-classic mode though as I don't like unity | 00:41 |
| harris | my sound chip keeps turning off and on making a pop noise | 00:41 |
| guideX | I have an 11.04 I can't get rid of as well heh | 00:41 |
| guideX | it's sad, I can't upgrade it, can't delete it.. i'm just stuck with that one the way it is heh.. | 00:41 |
| ben941 | "sudo apt-get --no-install-recommends ubuntu-desktop" will install the desktop without the included packages like the options to buy media from unity | 00:41 |
| harris | dr_jesus_, | 00:41 |
| ubuntuaddicted | guideX, in a VM? | 00:41 |
| guideX | yeah | 00:42 |
| ben941 | and without the office libre suite | 00:42 |
| Guest25748 | i used rematersys with 13.04 x64 amd. it did the iso but it stop during the installation saying something with busybox ... do you know something ? | 00:42 |
| ben941 | you can then go back and add the packages you want included | 00:42 |
| x13 | software center just freezes | 00:42 |
| ubuntuaddicted | guideX, then just delete the VM. | 00:42 |
| guideX | it's a dev box I inherited from another developer, it has too much on it and is too hard to replace | 00:42 |
| guideX | the other developer failed to update it | 00:42 |
| ben941 | that would likely give you a significant increase in performance within a VM | 00:42 |
| ktims | hi there, i have had a package fail the --configure step. I've had to fix it manually outside of dpkg, but apt now wants to run configure on this every time. how can i mark it fixed in apt database? | 00:42 |
| ktims | i can't just run --configure as it will try to import the ldap database and clobber my fix, as well as failing | 00:43 |
| ben941 | ktims: it sounds like there is still outdated code in the package | 00:43 |
| nullby7e | how can i quit from X to check something | 00:43 |
| ben941 | ktims: or redundant code or an overlooked issue | 00:43 |
| ubuntuaddicted | null1024, sudo service lightdm stop | 00:44 |
| ubuntuaddicted | null1024, that's for 12.04. you can do that from tty1 thru tty6 | 00:44 |
| ktims | i think it's because my ldap db is replicated, anyway this is an ancient 8.10->9.04 upgrade i'm trying to bring up to date, the package is working i just want to move on | 00:44 |
| guideX | is there some unofficial unsupported way to update 11.04 to 13.04? | 00:44 |
| guideX | which may or may not work, etc | 00:44 |
| ben941 | guidex: you download the image to upgrade to 12.04, image to upgrade to 12.10, and then image to upgrade to 13.04 | 00:45 |
| ubuntuaddicted | guideX, no, you have to always upgrade to the next version, all the way up to where you want to go BUT I would suggest a fresh install | 00:45 |
| TheNewGuy | Hi | 00:45 |
| guideX | problem specifically is, this box hosts a bunch of old php zend websites I can't reproduce the environment on another machine | 00:46 |
| guideX | it seems to only work on 11.04 | 00:46 |
| riddrib | if you pandora radio account expire you can use in ubuntu the program Pithos with the same account for ever! | 00:46 |
| guideX | for these old php zend sites | 00:46 |
| ben941 | guidex: you would install the next version and restart ur VM between each upgrade - and the "--no-install-recommends" will still give you unity without the extra media purchasing options coming up everytime you search for software, which might help your performance | 00:47 |
| guideX | oh cool | 00:48 |
| guideX | i'll try that | 00:48 |
| ben941 | you would just need to make sure you install any specific packages or programs you want that is usually included | 00:48 |
| ben941 | like libre office, etc | 00:48 |
| guideX | oh of course.. I usually only use developer tools and such | 00:48 |

| ben941 | guideX: these two links should be helpful to you: https://help.ubuntu.com/community/NattyUpgrades#Network%20Upgrade%20for%20Ubuntu%20Servers%20%28Recommended%29 and http://askubuntu.com/questions/2093/how-to-install-gui-desktop-on-a-server | 00:50 |
| harris | my sound chip keeps turning off and on making a pop noise | 00:50 |
| loganlee | TheNewGuy: apt-get update | 00:50 |
| dwarder | loganlee: in easy rsa folder of openvpn there are configs for openssl | 00:50 |
| michael87 | took a long time to theme up ubuntu damn. But it looking good now | 00:50 |
| loganlee | ??? | 00:50 |
| dwarder | loganlee: there is not config for 1.0.1 | 00:50 |
| loganlee | hehe | 00:51 |
| TheNewGuy | loganlee what do u mean? | 00:51 |
| dwarder | no* | 00:51 |
| loganlee | yeh.... | 00:51 |
| Zync | hey guys i'm having a problem in dual boot with win7 and ubunto | 00:51 |
| loganlee | TheNewGuy: run apt-get update | 00:51 |
| loganlee | sudo apt-get update | 00:51 |
| TheNewGuy | k | 00:51 |
| zykotick9 | TheNewGuy: i assume to tried to install AVG? why do you want antivirus on gnu/linux? | 00:51 |
| TheNewGuy | yea lol | 00:51 |
| michael87 | so I'm having trouble with the dreamcast emulator. it is very laggy. Tried to install demul through crossover. keeps crashing. I'm certain my laptop should be able to emulate dreamcast no problem. 256 intel grpahics card please help | 00:51 |
| netlar | I think the problem is I am getting no signal strength for my bluetooth dongle, how can I fix that? | 00:51 |
| zykotick9 | !virus | 00:51 |
| ubottu | Antivirus is something you don't need on !Linux. except where files are then passed to windows computers (perhaps using samba), See https://help.ubuntu.com/community/Antivirus | 00:51 |
| TheNewGuy | well... i came from windows background... | 00:52 |
| riddrib | How need antivirus in ubuntu ? | 00:52 |
| zykotick9 | TheNewGuy: see ubottu message above. | 00:52 |
| TheNewGuy | yea | 00:52 |
| TheNewGuy | but I am using vm | 00:52 |
| ubuntuaddicted | TheNewGuy, most virus's are written to affect windows OS | 00:52 |
| TheNewGuy | so i have a shared directory with my windows host machine | 00:52 |
| loganlee | TheNewGuy: do u run windows 8? | 00:52 |
| loganlee | i like windows 8 | 00:52 |
| Zync | when i choose ubuntu 12.04 over win7 it shows an error regarding i should put win7 cd and restart your pc yadda yadda, but win7 runs fine, its just ubuntu that wont work | 00:53 |
| ubuntuaddicted | TheNewGuy, then just use anti-virus in windows | 00:53 |
| ubuntuaddicted | Zync, sounds like your grub menu entry is messed up | 00:53 |
| TheNewGuy | I guess | 00:53 |
| TheNewGuy | i run windowso 7 btw | 00:53 |
| Zync | how do i fix it? | 00:53 |
| wilee-nilee | Zync, This an install from windows of ubuntu? | 00:53 |
| guideX | <- runs windows 7, or vista | 00:53 |
| loganlee | windows 8 is cool | 00:53 |
| riddrib | Well you need Antivirus in Windows | 00:53 |
| elkng | tool "ps" shows there are 28 processes of web browser "lynx" like: "8579 8636 0 0 [lynx] <defunct>", so they consume 0 memory but they still in list of processes, what are they ? whereas regular ones are shown as: "17132 29558 7428 4440 lynx http://www.google.com" | 00:54 |
| loganlee | <- runs windows 8 | 00:54 |
| ben941 | guideX: the first one talks about how to upgrade from LTS versions, the 2nd link has the command I mentioned w/ the attribute to leave out install recommendations.... this would not leave out your php, mysql, apache, etc.... not basic stuff that is included w/ server distros.... it would only leave out things like the unity software and digital | 00:54 |
| ben941 | media purchasing, libreoffice, etc... mostly GUI applications - you can always install the packages seperately if you find you need something, and that way you will get the latest version for the 13.x distro as well | 00:54 |
| loganlee | !bill gates | 00:54 |
| Zync | well i installed ubunto from a pen flash drive | 00:54 |
| loganlee | i like ronaldo | 00:55 |
| Zync | and did all the req partitions, for / ; /home and the swap one | 00:55 |
| ben941 | zync: you likely need to go into the grub interface and check your partitions to make sure you have an ntfs partition that is bootable | 00:55 |
| guideX | cool thanks ben | 00:55 |
| riddrib | When you learn everything in ubuntu ,gnu/linux, you never go back to window | 00:55 |
| Zync | how do i go into the grub interface?? | 00:55 |
| wilee-nilee | !grub | Zync | 00:55 |
| ubottu | Zync: 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 | 00:55 |
| deadweasel | how do you run a .run file? it's shell install script... i think. for AMD drivers. | 00:56 |
| guideX | riddrib: I disagree.. as a developer, I find it that I need both linux and windows | 00:56 |
| guideX | and to a lesser extent, mac | 00:56 |
| guideX | just for dev purposes... | 00:56 |
| ubuntuaddicted | and with todays hardware you can run them all on 1 machine at the same time. | 00:56 |
| guideX | for instance.. someone says "your website doesn't work/look good on a mac", best way is to boot up your mac and look at it | 00:57 |
| ben941 | Zync: i'm still fairly new with unix commands and forget the exact commands - i'd suggest following ubottu's link. to copy and paste commands when following a tutorial saves times even if you already know the command or not | 00:57 |
| TheNewGuy | is there a nice youtube tutorial or pdf where I can learn the basic file system on a linux? | 00:57 |
| max3 | hey does anyone in here speak marathi? can you tell me what this says? तु कीती चावट आहेस वेडया. यूगानडा सारखे संङास चालतील काय़. मासे मारायला अपण एकदा गेल पाहीजे. | 00:57 |
| guideX | or boss says "I want a crossplatform app, will run on ipad and android", that'll take a mac and android... | 00:57 |
| Zync | the *thing is im currently on win7 | 00:57 |
| loganlee | deadweasel: chmod +x runfile && ./runfile | 00:57 |
| Zync | the ubuntu didn't work | 00:57 |
| riddrib | I understand you is developer but the regular client no need a both operating system | 00:57 |

| michael87 | I came back from windows 7 myself. Still tryying to decide if I like ubuntu 13.04 better yet. though things are faster in ubuntu then before it is still a pain to customize the freaken windows. Least now I know how to color the annoyying toolbar above. always been drawn to linux don't know why. but games are a pain. Even emulation appearently. since dreamcast is having issues with me | 00:58 |
| ubuntuaddicted | TheNewGuy, every linux filesystem structure is slightly diffeent | 00:58 |
| daftykins | deadweasel: chmod +x and then ./blah.run | 00:58 |
| ben941 | I agree with guidex.... things llike the controversial silverlight refusing to provide support to linux makes windows still necessary if I want to access my netflix account | 00:58 |
| deadweasel | loganlee: i chmoded already, I'll try again | 00:58 |

| max3 | wilee-nilee: doesn't do marathi | 00:58 |
| daftykins | deadweasel: of course if it's definitely graphics drivers, 'sudo ./blah.run' | 00:58 |
| ben941 | it is the only thing stopping me from running my media server and htpc boxes from both running linux only | 00:58 |
| TheNewGuy | I see | 00:58 |
| wilee-nilee | max3, This is an english ubuntu support channel. | 00:58 |

| TheNewGuy | is there a text filter feature built into pidgin? i can't keep up with all the chat trying to figure out whos talking to me lol | 00:59 |
| wilee-nilee | max3, No really, you have no argument here, translating is not on topic. | 01:00 |
| ubuntuaddicted | TheNewGuy, people talking to you, it will be different color | 01:00 |
| ben941 | zync: grub is like a partition manager and similar to looking into MBR issues when dealing with windows - for dual boot, you use GRUB and one of the partitions should be NTFS (the partition that has windows on it) and this partition needs to have options set in grub to tell it that it is a bootable partition | 01:00 |
| x13 | Does anyone know a good Gameboy advance emulator for ubuntu? Tried one with wine but didnt work at all | 01:00 |
| max3 | wilee-nilee: i'm not constructing an argument? i was just going for a long shot | 01:00 |
| ben941 | this way each time you start, grub will come up and ask which OS you wish to boot from | 01:00 |
| TheNewGuy | how so? | 01:00 |
| loganlee | how to write an interpreter for a text file? | 01:00 |
| Gnarly | visualboyadvance always worked for me | 01:00 |
| guideX | x13: you could run the windows one in wine | 01:00 |
| Zync | i used easy bcp for that | 01:00 |
| x13 | guideX: tried that didnt work | 01:00 |
| TheNewGuy | "TheNewGuy, people talking to you, it will be different color" is the same color as other chats | 01:00 |
| TheNewGuy | black | 01:01 |
| guideX | hmm | 01:01 |
| ben941 | guidex, he just mendioned wine | 01:01 |
| ubuntuaddicted | max3, can't you use google translator | 01:01 |
| guideX | ah ok missed that part | 01:01 |
| x13 | would sudo apt-get install visualboyadvance work? | 01:01 |
| max3 | ubuntuaddicted: it's not hindi it's marathi so no | 01:01 |
| zykotick9 | x13: mednafen is a multi-system terminal emulator that does GBA | 01:01 |
| guideX | when you say it didn't work, what did you mean | 01:01 |
| ubuntuaddicted | max3, can't help you then | 01:01 |
| michael87 | can anyone help me in emulating dreamcast on my ubuntu laptop? I installed lxdream and it is very laggy. tried demul in crossover/wine and crashed | 01:01 |
| guideX | max3: there's irc tools which have built in translators too | 01:02 |
| ben941 | x13: if visualboyadvnace is a debian/linux package then yes it should work | 01:02 |

| x13 | ben941: indeed but which platforms | 01:03 |
| servvs | anyone else having any issues after upgrading to 13.04 from 12.10? | 01:03 |
| x13 | guideX: yes tried it and the wine that i have wouldnt work | 01:03 |
| guideX | servvs: i'm upgrading right now | 01:03 |
| guideX | it says "fetching files" | 01:03 |
| servvs | Well, if you are upgrading to use the new gnome-shell then don't it breaks everything when you try to install it | 01:04 |
| ben941 | x13: apparently he is saying it works in windows and linux environments... I would suggest trying to find one natively compatible in linux... running things in wine is not always reliable to access graphics acceleration, etc | 01:04 |
| guideX | hmm I was hopeing to see the new unity | 01:04 |
| guideX | it uses gnome again? | 01:04 |
| ben941 | guideX: what do you mean? | 01:04 |
| guideX | I found that in 12.10 the gnome shell didn't do gnome2 justice | 01:04 |
| servvs | I don't know what unity uses, I just know my desktop is all glitched out right now | 01:05 |
| guideX | so I switch to xfce | 01:05 |

| servvs | I was using Gnome 3.6 gnome shell and now everything is broken | 01:05 |

| donvito2 | pcmu how? | 01:15 |
| pcmu | launch the 'passwords and keys' app | 01:16 |
| balls | is bash possible for everything or can it not do stuff that some GUI programs can do | 01:16 |
| balls | for example changing a setting for the OS | 01:17 |
| lindar | ? | 01:17 |
| pcmu | dovito2: in that app you can see your keyrings, you can right click the one called 'Default' and change its password to blank | 01:17 |
| lindar | Hej, so I'm having a fair amount of trouble here. I am on Ubuntu 13 and connected properly to my wireless router. Another computer I have would also connect to this same wireless router, but was running Windows 8. I just installed Ubuntu 13 on it and it *will not connect* to the router. | 01:17 |
| balls | like is it always in the shell or not alwats | 01:17 |
| ShadowNinja | balls: It can do everything :-) | 01:17 |
| balls | not always* | 01:17 |
| bazhang | balls, try in #bash | 01:17 |
| balls | in windows not everything is in the shell , some stuff you have to only go in the GUI settings | 01:18 |
| lindar | I have tried getting it to connect where the router has no password and is completely open. | 01:18 |
| balls | is linux like this ever? | 01:18 |
| lindar | It still will diddle for a bit, think about it, and then fail to connect. | 01:18 |
| balls | hi baz didnt expecpt to see you here | 01:18 |
| TheNewGuy | Hey guys I'm having an issue with changing my IP address | 01:18 |
| balls | im not sure where to start with linux | 01:18 |
| TheNewGuy | whenever I do ifconfig eth0 192.168..... netmask..., i lose connection | 01:19 |
| ubuntuaddicted | TheNewGuy, what do you want to change it to? what's the problem | 01:19 |
| KawaBOT | Hey. | 01:19 |
| TheNewGuy | well.. i want to change it to 192.168.1.1 | 01:19 |
| balls | I need to learn bash whatever its called right? | 01:19 |
| TheNewGuy | but it seems that anything I change it to, it will lose connectino to the outside world | 01:19 |
| ShadowNinja | balls: No, a GUI is little more than a wrapper for the command, although some applications are designed to only work with a GUI. | 01:19 |
| ubuntuaddicted | TheNewGuy, do you have a router that hands out IP's? | 01:19 |
| balls | or is there something before that I have to learn | 01:19 |
| TheNewGuy | yea | 01:19 |
| wilee-nilee | lindar, Post the wireless hardware info, lspci will tell you or lsusb if a usb. | 01:19 |
| KawaBOT | Hey. | 01:19 |
| TheNewGuy | i have a at&t router, and then a host windows 7 and then the ubuntu vm | 01:20 |
| ubuntuaddicted | TheNewGuy, what's your router's IP, most likely 192.168.1.1 | 01:20 |
| TheNewGuy | its actually 254 | 01:20 |
| balls | obvioustly the GUI has a program but I mean shell commands here of any shell | 01:20 |
| TheNewGuy | .254 | 01:20 |
| balls | not programming syntaxes | 01:20 |
| lindar | wilee-nilee: I should also make mention of the fact that it *will* connect to other routers, just not this one in particular. | 01:20 |
| TheNewGuy | everytime I reset my vm, it grabs 192.168.1.87 | 01:20 |
| ubuntuaddicted | TheNewGuy, what OS again? | 01:20 |
| lindar | Namely it will connect to my phone's hotspot. | 01:20 |
| balls | those are two different things | 01:20 |
| TheNewGuy | ubuntu | 01:20 |
| TheNewGuy | guest is ubuntu | 01:20 |

| balls | i heard one called ubuntu ltxf or something | 01:23 |
| JesseH | :c unfair my op man | 01:23 |
| JesseH | mr* | 01:23 |
| balls | it was liter than ubuntu desktop 13.4 | 01:23 |
| wilee-nilee | lindar, needs a wrapper and driver if realtek most likely, that's all I know. | 01:23 |
| balls | brb | 01:23 |
| ben941 | balls: server distros are command line interface only, no GUI and no desktop - just the shell (many people only understand this as DOS command prompt.... that is essentially a microsoft shell/command line interface) | 01:23 |
| balls | oh id like the GUI too | 01:23 |
| ben941 | balls: server distros do NOT take more memory - as they do not run a desktop or any GUI | 01:23 |
| balls | so I can see the results | 01:23 |
| lindar | wilee-nilee: Really? Cos it worked on everything I've tried except the router that's hooked up to my home internet. | 01:24 |
| ben941 | balls: if you want to learn linux and linux development - you don't want the GUI.... | 01:24 |
| agu10^_ | hello | 01:24 |
| wilee-nilee | lindar, In linux? | 01:24 |
| balls | how come? | 01:24 |
| lindar | wilee-nilee: Yes, after I installed Ubuntu 13. | 01:24 |
| balls | how do you see your results | 01:24 |
| balls | with out gui and everything in it | 01:24 |
| ben941 | balls: because it passes commands to the shell, and does the same thing you can do in the command line interface - only you DON;T see the results | 01:24 |
| agu10^_ | I run a command sed -i '$ a\some line' * ... and now all my files, when opened in vim, have ^M after each line. What is ^M ??? | 01:24 |
| balls | id like to see the results lol | 01:25 |
| bazhang | balls, did you have any actual ubuntu support questions? this is not the general bash/linux chat channel | 01:25 |
| ben941 | balls: most packages and commands have special flags like -V for verbose or print to output additional results | 01:25 |
| balls | errors dont always determine what you are wanting to achive | 01:25 |
| wilee-nilee | lindar, All I could do is google the info, so I'm not much help in this. | 01:25 |
| lindar | wilee-nilee: Yeah, Google wasn't much help in this case. | 01:25 |
| ben941 | balls: for example, if you install a package using the shell - it still shows all the information as it installs... the server it downloads from, the packages its installing, even the process bar that goes from 0 to 100% | 01:26 |
| riddrib | the real help is the chat in real time ! | 01:26 |
| ben941 | balls: you see none of this using a GUI for the same process | 01:26 |
| lindar | Anybody else: Got an Ubuntu 13 box that will connect to everything except one particular router, but my Ubuntu 13 laptop connects to the same router just fine, and the box in question connected to said router when it was running Windows. | 01:26 |
| Mikeasaurus | How long does it typically take to install ubuntu? Is it a bad sign if its been stuck on "EIP <e19899da>] wl_cfg80211_detach+0xca//0xd0 for like 25+ minutes? | 01:26 |
| balls | I still want to use it as an OS | 01:26 |
| balls | for internetnetc however | 01:27 |
| TheEpTic | Mikeasaurus: yes | 01:27 |
| bazhang | balls, take this elsewhere please | 01:27 |
| balls | is there a lite version uf ubuntu that can do this | 01:27 |
| TheEpTic | Mikeasaurus: By the looks of it, that's a kernal error but I could be wrong. | 01:27 |

| ubottu | balls, please see my private message | 01:27 |
| Mikeasaurus | So turn off PC and start over? | 01:27 |
| TheEpTic | Worth a try. | 01:27 |
| balls | i mean for RAM | 01:27 |
| Mikeasaurus | I'm trying to install from Cd, would installing from usb be better? | 01:27 |
| ben941 | balls: you will also see EVERY error using most programs through the CLI - many of these errors will be ignored by GUI interfaces.... I suggest you install a server distro and not select the LAMP server package on installation choices if you want a light weight installation | 01:28 |
| TheEpTic | Mikeasaurus: I'd personally perfer CD. | 01:28 |
| balls | im running it in virtualbox | 01:28 |
| lindar | Mikeasaurus: Possibly, if your board supports it. That's how I do it because my machines don't have CD drives. | 01:28 |
| wilee-nilee | Mikeasaurus, Sum the iso first a usb is another option. | 01:28 |
| ben941 | balls: you can always install a lightweight desktop ontop of it after.... many desktop environments to choose from : http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Desktop_environment | 01:28 |

| loganlee | how do u write an interpreter? guys? | 01:28 |
| agu10^_ | How can I disable all iptables rules? If i run iptables -F, when i reboot, the rules are working again! I just want to remove them forever! Or go back to initial iptables configuration. | 01:28 |
| loganlee | interpreter of text file | 01:29 |
| mattwj2002 | hi guys I have a general linux/ubuntu question | 01:29 |
| TheEpTic | agu10^_: I'd just remove iptables all together but I've heard that brakes ubuntu sometimes. | 01:29 |
| ben941 | loganlee: what do you mean by interpreter | 01:29 |
| TheEpTic | mattwj2002: Fire away | 01:29 |
| agu10^_ | then what can i do? | 01:29 |
| agu10^_ | i do not want any rules but i can't take them off :( | 01:29 |
| mattwj2002 | what blue ray burning tools are available in ubuntu? | 01:29 |
| Mikeasaurus | my boot orders are 1. floppy disk 2. atapi cd rom 3. +hard drive and 4. network adaptor | 01:29 |
| mattwj2002 | *bluray | 01:29 |
| Mikeasaurus | would floppy disk be considered usb? | 01:30 |
| Chris_W_ | is there a command to copy files and show progress in the terminal? | 01:30 |
| loganlee | ben941: write in text file some commands and let interpreter read it and run stuff | 01:30 |
| wilee-nilee | Mikeasaurus, How big is the ISO? | 01:30 |

| Mikeasaurus | 794mb | 01:30 |
| mattwj2002 | I see you can buy burners for like 60 or 70 usd :) | 01:30 |
| ben941 | mikasaurus: you can install from CD, but with USB you can create a live cd that has a swap partition (save your data and runs the entire OS from the usb drive) - a live cd can run the whole OS but will not save settings obviously. if you want to install it to your MAIN drive and your absolutely positive, just use the CD to install | 01:31 |
| agu10^_ | TheEpTic, can i just paste the commands instead of making a script? | 01:31 |
| TheEpTic | Sure. | 01:31 |
| Mikeasaurus | Ok I will try the cd again, thank you. | 01:31 |
| ben941 | mikeasaurus: just hit the key for your boot menu | 01:31 |
| === tjbiddle_ is now known as tjbiddle | ||

| earthling_ | On the recent security updates, it has options for generic kernel header, generic kernel image, or both generic kernel header and image in one file. Should I disregard the extra header and image? and just choose 1 of each? My OS version is 12.04,kernel version is 3.5.0-27-generic | 01:33 |
| wilee-nilee | Mikeasaurus, Put the cd first in the bios, or use the per sessikon boot menu. Check that your ISO is md5sum correct. | 01:33 |
| ben941 | mikeasaurus: it should be listed by the key for you to enter bios setup - usually it is delete, f9 f10 or f12... this will allow you to specifically pick boot from CD-rom or boot from USB device | 01:33 |
| wilee-nilee | or the cd | 01:33 |

| loganlee | write something in some language in text file then interpreter runs it | 01:36 |
| ben941 | loganlee: you are talking about a script, aka a bash script | 01:37 |
| loganlee | no not a bash script. my own script | 01:37 |
| loganlee | ... | 01:37 |
| loganlee | like reading a conf file | 01:37 |
| ben941 | yes you can write your own bash scripts | 01:38 |
| Mikeasaurus | ok now when i put the disc in it says "this computer currently has no detected os. what would you like to do? 1. erase disk and install ubuntu 2. encrypt the new ubuntu installation for security. 3 use lvm with the new ubuntu installation or 4. something else | 01:39 |
| Mikeasaurus | 1? | 01:39 |
| loganlee | ... | 01:39 |
| earthling_ | could it be bad to install extra generic header and image files on security update? | 01:39 |
| ben941 | loganlee: http://arachnoid.com/linux/shell_programming.html try glancing over this, and then try searching the official ubuntu wiki and askunbuntu sites for how to write scripts and read input from other files using correct syntax | 01:40 |
| Pici | loganlee: If you're asking how to write an interpreter in an arbitrary programming language then #ubuntu is not the right place. Try starting in a channel for the language you are writing it in. | 01:40 |
| loganlee | ok thx | 01:40 |
| wilee-nilee | earthling_, This the precise 3.2.0-41 kernel update I had one earlier today no problems. | 01:41 |
| earthling_ | my kernel version is 3.5.0-27-generic but it keeps giving me update for 3.5 and 3.2 | 01:41 |
| ben941 | loganlee: you are simply asking how to write scripts - you can use the bash shell to run a script and write it in simple CLI syntax that will allow ur script to read from files and even run a command and expect a question to come from the command and provide the answer or use --force in the script to ignore any prompts, but you can also 'interpret' | 01:42 |
| ben941 | information from text files | 01:42 |
| earthling_ | wilee-nilee, did you get 2 sets of generic header and image ? | 01:42 |
| wilee-nilee | earthling_, If the 3.5 is working remove the 3.2, however most have two kernel sets. | 01:42 |
| earthling_ | those 2 sets are for the 3.5 | 01:43 |
| ben941 | mikeasaurus: do you not have another OS installed? | 01:43 |
| wilee-nilee | earthling_, I did not look close I have never had a bad kernel update. | 01:43 |
| earthling_ | wilee-nilee, the system doesn't mind to have two kernel sets? | 01:44 |
| wilee-nilee | earthling_, if you don't remove kernels you can ahve as many the HD allows before filling basically. | 01:45 |
| earthling_ | ok, cool | 01:45 |
| ben941 | mikeasaurus : if you have windows installed and are trying to create a dual boot installation.... you do not need to boot from the CD. you can put the install CD inafter logging into windows, and tell it to install from their - you simply can't run the ubuntu live straight from the CD unless you boot from it | 01:45 |
| Mikeasaurus | ben941. I am unsure, its an old laptop I was given and when I tried to turn it on it said something about ntdlr was missing and hit cntrl alt del. I'm assuming it had winxp | 01:45 |
| loganlee | i bought it from 7/11 | 01:45 |
| loganlee | i ate chinese instant noodle now my stomach is not at ease o_O | 01:45 |
| Mikeasaurus | Windows won't load, no OS will load. I'm assuming windows is broken or there is no OS | 01:46 |
| Mikeasaurus | And I won't want to dual boot | 01:46 |
| Mikeasaurus | I just want Ubuntu, no windows | 01:46 |
| ben941 | mikeasaurus: in that case, I would go with erase and install, option 1 | 01:46 |

| ben941 | mikeasaurus: when it asks about partitioning: I suggest clicking advance, and selecting GPT instead of MS-DOS | 01:47 |
| Mikeasaurus | ben941: this is good news, it is already farther installing than it was before | 01:47 |
| bazhang | loganlee, take the chit chat somewhere else | 01:47 |
| loganlee | ook srry | 01:48 |
| Mikeasaurus | Perfect, thank you. I've never done a ubuntu install all by itself | 01:48 |
| ben941 | mikeasaurus: thats good - it should simply wipe out the hard drive and install a fresh copy of ubuntu for you. It asks basic set up questions along the way. Did you have it plugged into internet?? | 01:48 |
| Mikeasaurus | Ya I do | 01:49 |
| ShadowNinja | Why three floodbots? Isn't one enough? | 01:49 |
| Mikeasaurus | I'm pretty sure it has a wireless adapter, but ubuntu didn't recognize it so i had to plug it in | 01:49 |
| ben941 | mikeasaurus: great, if you selected the boxes to install updates and install restricted packages (says something about to support mp3, etc) - then you should have an install that also installs the updates for you and all the packages you need to for a fully functional operating system. Ubuntu works great on low space older pcs as well, glad you fi | 01:50 |
| ben941 | gured it out | 01:50 |
| wannabe-k | i'm trying to make a bootable usb stick and i'm following the instructions online and its still not working the step i have issues with is step 4 | 01:51 |
| ben941 | it will likely recognize ur wirless after it installs the operating system | 01:51 |
| Mikeasaurus | I actually clicked don't install updates just because it froze last time so I wanted to see if it would more basic. I'm hoping ubuntu has an easy process for updating once its installed | 01:51 |
| Mikeasaurus | If I remember correctly, it does | 01:51 |

| ben941 | mikeasaurus: yes, the easiest way is to use the terminal to update. but first I would go into the GUI update manager and go into settings to add the 'restricted' repositories so you have access to things like mp3 codecs and certain drivers that are not open source | 01:55 |

| konam | pcmu maybe it's because i have right alt set as the compose key on the keyboard layout options, it enables me to type the "ñ" key with relative ease. and the ñ trumps the logical not sign character so the compose key behavior stays :D | 01:55 |
| subcool | can some one please help me with my samba.. | 01:55 |
| konam | thanks pcmu | 01:55 |
| subcool | i just had it working - and then it crapped out | 01:55 |
| subcool | i have two machines setup on samba , that was working utnil this moring. | 01:55 |
| Mikeasaurus | Awesome, thanks for your help ben941. Youve been very helpful | 01:55 |
| subcool | each machine wants a user and password to access the folders. but- then wont accept the user and pass, | 01:56 |
| ben941 | mikeasaurus: then you would go to the unity menu where you search for programs and type 'terminal', open it and type "sudo apt-get update" to update the lists of programs available on the repositories, followed by 'sudo apt-get upgrade' to upgrade any applications that have updates available | 01:56 |
| Mikeasaurus | awesome | 01:56 |
| loganlee | do sudo apt-get dist-upgrade | 01:57 |
| TheEpTic | !md5sum > TheEpTic | 01:57 |
| ubottu | TheEpTic, please see my private message | 01:57 |
| ben941 | mikeasaurus: that can confuse some people, as update only refreshes the programs and their versions listed in the repositories, to actually update the programs you do the "sudo apt-get upgrade" | 01:57 |
| Mikeasaurus | Makes sense | 01:58 |
| pcmu | konam, i too type in spanish frequently. I use "US English international with dead keys" as my layout. It lets me do tildes by pressing AltGr+a, AltGr+e... and ñ as AltGr+n. Pretty handy. | 01:58 |
| agu10^_ | how do i know if my script at /etc/rc.local was run or not? how do i see its output? | 01:58 |
| ben941 | mikeasaurus: "sudo apt-get dist-upgrade will upgrade you to the latest release (13.04 I believe, or 13.10?) however you may want to stick with the LTS (long term service) release, 12.04 - in that case you would not do the dist-upgrade command | 01:58 |
| wannabe-k | i'm trying to make a bootable usb stick and i'm following the instructions online and its still not working the step i have issues with is step 4. i'm using start up disc creator like the page on ubuntu.com says to use | 02:00 |
| akaSoldats | 8 | 02:00 |
| ben941 | installing the regular updates is always good practice, it installs security updates and keeps your program versions up to date.... running dist-upgrade updates the entire operating system, which can sometimes cause issues if you have hardware only supported by the more stable LTS distributions, the latest being 12.04 | 02:00 |
| ben941 | wannabe-k use "Lili USB creator" | 02:01 |
| loganlee | oic | 02:01 |
| Blue1 | !pvr | 02:01 |
| wannabe-k | where would i get lili from? its not in the software center | 02:02 |
| Mikeasaurus | alright ill make sure to do it | 02:02 |
| konam | pcmu yeah but doesn't it bother you having to press the space key after each apostrophe? | 02:03 |
| ben941 | wannabe-k: Lili USB creator is a program for creating bootable usb sticks with different linux distros. you can also select one of the built in supported distros from the drop down list or select the iso you downloaded, and you can also choose to add a swap partition so you can run the entire OS off the usb drive and save settings, etc. or just c | 02:03 |
| ben941 | reate a bootable one to install from | 02:03 |
| wannabe-k | i couldn't select the iso i downloaded originally or i wouldn't have this issue.... | 02:03 |
| wannabe-k | where do i get lili from then? | 02:03 |
| wilee-nilee | wannabe-k lili? | 02:04 |
| pcmu | konam, yeah a little bit. You can get the apostrophe in a single keystroke by presing AltGr+' | 02:04 |
| ben941 | wannabe-k: it stands for linux live usb... you can find it at http://linuxliveuse.com/en/download | 02:04 |
| ben941 | sorry | 02:04 |
| ben941 | wannabe-k: it stands for linux live usb... you can find it at http://linuxliveusb.com/en/download | 02:04 |
| wannabe-k | its ok. i'm just frustrated up to :here: with this..... | 02:04 |
| ben941 | that program makes it very simple... | 02:05 |
| texla | 12.04..Since install I have 4 extra linux-images showing install in synaptic and also in grub.cfg file...If i unstall all but two of the latest will it also uninstall in grub.cfg file ? | 02:05 |
| wilee-nilee | wannabe-k, THe startup disc creator is in ubuntu how are you using it? | 02:05 |
| konam | pcmu those are actually two keystrokes :D | 02:05 |
| wannabe-k | wilee-nilee: i don't know what you're asking. i'm a linux noob | 02:06 |
| Minniti | hello good night | 02:06 |
| pcmu | pcmu IMO modifiers don't count | 02:06 |
| ben941 | just plug in your usb drive, select which drive it is, and you don't even have to download the latest .iso file - if I remember right it has default ubuntu 12.04 and 12.10 to select from - and you can just upgrade once it is installed | 02:06 |
| pcmu | derp | 02:06 |
| wannabe-k | which is why i usually have a friend do this for me....but he's apparently busy | 02:06 |
| konam | but thanks, i've seen that you have to actually give in a little if you want to write in english and spanish without having to change layouts constantly. i think i'll stick with my previous layout, thanks | 02:06 |
| wilee-nilee | wannabe-k, What is the OS you are in trying to load the usb? | 02:06 |
| pcmu | no prob | 02:06 |
| wannabe-k | 12.04 lts | 02:06 |
| ben941 | wannabe-k: www.linuxliveusb.com and save urself any headache, 12.04 LTS is a default distro it supports, you simply select it from a drop down bar | 02:07 |
| wannabe-k | yep. i'm getting there on my other computer....the one i'm trying to reinstall on | 02:07 |
| ben941 | ok, it was a while since I used it but the instructions were really self explanitory, and the most I had to do is see what drive letter my USB drive was... it took care of the rest with step by step instructions. The swap partition is if you are going to RUN ubuntu from the usb drive, if you are just using it to make bootable and install from, you | 02:09 |
| ben941 | don't need the swap partition - thats the only part that might be confusing | 02:09 |
| muteboy | hello | 02:09 |
| wilee-nilee | wannabe-k, all you have to do is have the startup disc creator see the iso and install, you can have it erase the usb, it needs to be a fat32 partition. | 02:09 |

| ben941 | you could simply have hardware that needs a proprietary driver that linux doesn't natively detect and install and open source driver for - that could cause issues with other processes that try and use that hardware | 02:21 |

| ben941 | however, sometimes it can detect this by itself - for example, i had a linksys wireless N add-in card, and had to plug it in during installation to get internet | 02:22 |

| agu10^_ | BHXSpecter, nothing new under the sun ;) | 02:54 |
| agu10^_ | it happens to almost everybody | 02:54 |
| ben941 | WITHOUT using wine, as well - native linux support for your emulator allows it direct access to the kernel and your hardware, i.e. graphics acceleration | 02:55 |
| ben941 | BHXSpector - Windows is only easier for installing proprietary drivers | 02:55 |
| BHXSpecter | I have been running Vista on my desktop since it was released and not once had it crash or mess up while in he matter of a year Ubuntu has given me I/O read errors during a security update forcing me to reinstall the whole OS | 02:57 |
| ben941 | BHXSpetor: you might want to check for any errors relating to firmware - this usually means there is hardware on ur system that linux/ubuntu does not support 'straight out of the box' per say, and just like with windows - sometimes you have to go to the manufacturer site to get the proper drivers | 02:57 |
| c_nick | I created a new user on an existing ubuntu machine using useradd cmd with -s -m options and added to the group of admins i set the password using passwd cmd.. but what i observe is though the user is able to do most when he shuts down it does not shut down rather logs off | 02:58 |
| c_nick | and by default it opens into existing account on startup.. the user has to switch users and go to his account | 02:58 |
| ben941 | BHXSpetor: it sounds like permissions may be messed up by something you are doing which isn't allowing the system access to directories that the system should likely be the only 'user' able to access - OR esp if using a laptop, you may need to search for linux drivers for 'name of hardware' if you see any 'out of date' or 'firmware' errors | 03:00 |

| BHXSpecter | permissions messed up? everytime this error happens is during the updates the system updater is trying to install and I don't touch anything outside of my Projects folder when I'm programming with Qt Creator | 03:01 |
| ben941 | i must head out, but if you ahve exact error code i suggest using the community.ubuntu.com wiki and official documentation search as well as the official forums and askubuntu forums - 3 great places to search for information. many times searching for the exact error you are given comes up with a wiki or post with someone that has a solution | 03:02 |
| wilee-nilee | kimphill, dvd/usb | 03:03 |
| ben941 | like i said it could be a program too - or it may not be related to permissions and have to do with the firmware (drivers) on ur system not being fully compatible w linux - in the 2nd case there is almost always someone who has found the manufacturer's linux compatible drivers even if they aren't on the main site, or have provided open source drive | 03:04 |
| ben941 | rs that work --- basically, usually someone else has had your problem and others have already guided them on how to fix it | 03:04 |
| kimphill | wilee-nilee, sure, ok, guess my question was why didn't they make it fit on a cd in the first place, like their documentation says it should... | 03:04 |
| BHXSpecter | did all that and tried all the 'fixes' just to get more errors ......my laptop is about six years old so I'm pretty sure every thing in it is compatible with linux | 03:05 |
| wilee-nilee | kimphill, there are limited downloads, say the net load 30MB. Ubuntu has not fit on a cd for a couple of releases, nothing new here. | 03:06 |
| ben941 | I had an add on card for esata that would only work with linux kernels below 3.0.... we are past 3.6 now. luckily the forums and official ubuntu wiki pages had exact instructions to modify the drivers so they would work - what I spent a week having a headache over was simple once i knew where to search and I had patched the driver and had the es | 03:06 |
| ben941 | ata card working in less than 20 min | 03:06 |

| dank101 | hai | 03:07 |
| ben941 | BHXSpecter: just because its old doesn't mean the drivers aren't proprietary... example, broadcom wifi drivers usually have to be installed by adding a special repository using command line, or downloading the driver and installing manually | 03:07 |
| dank101 | just played tf2 | 03:07 |
| dank101 | so satisfying | 03:07 |
| dank101 | all thanks to you | 03:07 |
| dank101 | :D | 03:07 |
| kimphill | wilee-nilee, ok, got it - thanks very much. Guess it's time I should throw out my old CD-R's now ;) | 03:09 |
| ben941 | BHXSpecter: remember ubuntu has support for MANY devices, but these drivers are open source - some companies that provide linux drivers are horrible at keeping them maintained and thus will give an error saying it won't work with newer ubuntu versions, when in fact simply modifications to the code is all they needed to provide to keep it compatible | 03:09 |
| ben941 | w/ linux based OS's | 03:09 |
| BHXSpecter | all this is moot because the errors are concerning all tool updates and their versions.. first error was it couldn't read files when doing apt-get update once that was fixed I now get errors about the version of debconf, autotools, and other dependencies | 03:10 |
| ben941 | BHXSpecter: watch for the errors you get and search for them on the ubuntu community wiki, the ubuntu forums, askubuntu.com, and of course plain google. if you put the exact text from the error, you're very likely to find the soluction | 03:11 |
| dank101 | whats the best temp mananger on linux | 03:11 |
| ben941 | dependencies is a common issue | 03:11 |
| loganlee | so.... | 03:12 |
| ben941 | if you fixed the read files error - the other errors you mentioned can be fixed by using apt-get install to reinstall those packages .... as apt-get automatically looks for dependencies and isntalls them as well | 03:12 |
| loganlee | why do u need aptitude if u have apt-get? | 03:14 |
| ben941 | installing things using deb installer or other methods of installation doesn't always check the repository for dependencies and version conflicts.... i'm sure someone on here with more knowledge of those packages you listed can easily help you fix ur problem, or you can likely find the answer on the ubuntu wiki, forum, askubuntu, or google by typ | 03:14 |
| ben941 | ing in those packages and 'version dependencies error' | 03:14 |
| ben941 | you don't need aptitude.... there are many different 'packages' to handle installing from a repository | 03:15 |
| loganlee | ? | 03:15 |
| ben941 | codes like wget (http adress) then make install | 03:15 |
| ben941 | simple downloads what you tell it to from the site and installs it | 03:15 |
| BHXSpecter | I did sudo apt-get -f install and it spits out errors about libgcc1 ... and now the whole system has locked up so I can't install programs or anything | 03:15 |
| loganlee | BHXSpecter: reboot | 03:15 |
| ben941 | you forced an install | 03:16 |
| ben941 | when it had errors about depending on other packages that were not on ur system | 03:16 |
| ben941 | so it forced the install, and then ceased to work | 03:16 |
| BHXSpecter | yeah because that was the first step of several of the solutions I found while searching...to force an install as it would install all dependencies but instead it just made more errors | 03:17 |
| ben941 | there is also the dpkg -i (file.deb) way to install | 03:17 |

| ben941 | dependencies needed to be installed and versions needed to be updated | 03:20 |
| ben941 | bhxspector: did you do sudo apt-get update first to update your repository listings? | 03:20 |
| ben941 | sudo apt-get update updates the list of packages - then you run sudo apt-get upgrade to actually update those packages youhave installed that are out of date | 03:21 |

| BHXSpecter | I wiped the lists directory, cleaned apt-get, dpkg --configure -a, apt-get update, and everything goes fine, but when system updater comes up it says 114 updates and upon telling it to install it crashes with dependency errors everytime | 03:22 |
| ben941 | have you tried not using the GUI system updater | 03:23 |
| ben941 | and just running sudo apt-get upgrade | 03:23 |
| ben941 | after the apt-get update | 03:23 |
| ben941 | also why dpkg --configure? | 03:23 |
| BHXSpecter | was part of the solution for the read error I got originally | 03:24 |
| ben941 | dpkg is an installer for debian packages (.deb) which apt-get can handle... it is what i was mentioning when using dpkg to install it doesn't check for dependencies | 03:24 |
| ben941 | ok thats understandable | 03:24 |
| ben941 | you may have installed the fix for the read error | 03:24 |
| BHXSpecter | laptop battery is about to die, I'll worry about it later or just go back to vista | 03:25 |
| ben941 | but if you had installed it usign the apt-get, it would have checked to make sure you had the dependencies | 03:25 |
| ben941 | I would install the same package | 03:25 |
| ben941 | using sudo apt-get | 03:25 |
| ben941 | instead of dpkg | 03:25 |
| ben941 | as then it will check for dependencies and install them as well | 03:25 |
| ben941 | also try running sudo apt-get upgrade from the terminal instead of using the update program | 03:26 |
| ben941 | see if it makes a difference | 03:26 |

| acoleman1981 | i love windows 7 but vista was horrible | 03:32 |
| ben941 | it had the robustness and speed of XP, with the new layout and features promised in vista .... only they actually worked and supported the hardware | 03:32 |
| acoleman1981 | 8 pro is really nice too | 03:32 |
| somsip | And...windows chat is very OT | 03:32 |
| dogface | ben941: vistA is better than u | 03:33 |
| dank101 | i would like to report | 03:33 |
| ben941 | 8 is just windows RT (the tablet windows) and windows 7 desktop underneath | 03:33 |
| acoleman1981 | basically yes your right, still nice though | 03:33 |
| dank101 | dogface, is going the OPPOSITE of what ubuntu stands for | 03:33 |
| dank101 | sending me insulting curses | 03:33 |
| ben941 | on top of that, the start screen with tiles uses apps vs the programs that desktop uses | 03:34 |
| ben941 | resulting in an IE app and an IE program | 03:34 |
| somsip | !OT | please stop the windows chat now | 03:34 |
| ubottu | please stop the windows chat now: #ubuntu is the Ubuntu support channel, for all Ubuntu-related support questions. Please use #ubuntu-offtopic for other topics (though our !guidelines apply there too). Thanks! | 03:34 |
| ben941 | no one was asking about ubuntu | 03:34 |
| dank101 | and generally breaking what ubuntu stands for | 03:34 |
| ben941 | dank is just complaining | 03:34 |
| dank101 | haha | 03:34 |
| dank101 | not to you | 03:34 |
| ben941 | if we are not interupting requests for help | 03:34 |
| ben941 | why complain? | 03:34 |
| dank101 | to dogface | 03:34 |
| ben941 | i'm out anyways | 03:34 |
| dank101 | he's being a jerk | 03:35 |
| somsip | !guidelines | ben941 | 03:35 |
| ubottu | ben941: The guidelines for using the Ubuntu channels can be found here: http://wiki.ubuntu.com/IRC/Guidelines | 03:35 |
| dank101 | he send me these Pms | 03:35 |
| ben941 | somsip: that doesn't address my logic and reasoning | 03:35 |
| somsip | dank101: don't post them here. Take complaints to #ubuntu-ops | 03:35 |
| somsip | ben941: this channel is for ubuntu support. Simple as that. Any other chat belongs somewhere else. Kindly adhere. | 03:36 |
| ben941 | somsip: an empty chat is an empty chat, if we are not interupting the guidelines and i've been helping people for hours with ubuntu support, there is no harm discussing windows when no one is talking regardless of ANY guidelines | 03:36 |
| ben941 | that is simple logic sir | 03:36 |
| ben941 | have a nice day | 03:36 |
| somsip | ben941: this channel is for ubuntu support. It really is as simple as that. Enjoy your day | 03:37 |

| MrGizmo757 | i have a Q. i have a dozen .WMV videos. i want to convert them to H.264 MP4. is there an easy way to do that? or do i have to run each of them through a video editor? | 03:45 |
| somsip | MrGizmo757: what are you using to convert them? | 03:45 |
| MrGizmo757 | Well nothing yet. i was going to just use OpenShot and just render them one by one. but there has to be a better way right? | 03:46 |
| izya_ppp | ggg | 03:46 |
| izya_ppp | приветы | 03:46 |
| th0r | MrGizmo757: I use AVIDemux for those conversions | 03:47 |
| somsip | MrGizmo757: I've not worked with WMV, but ffmpeg and mencoder are both commandline video converters. So you could use them with wildcards perhaps, or a small bash script to loop through all WMVs and convert each one. Might take longer than using Openshot to set up though | 03:47 |
| qin | nullby7e: man ffmpeg; for i in *; do [ffmpeg command]; done; | 03:47 |
| qin | nullby7e: http://superuser.com/questions/73529/how-to-convert-wmv-to-mp4 | 03:47 |
| MrGizmo757 | ok. well i don't have any issues with using the command line. Which method would be the fastest you think? | 03:48 |
| somsip | MrGizmo757: well, qin has just found the ffmpeg command and given you a bash loop to do it. So maybe that's the starting point | 03:49 |
| MrGizmo757 | yes i just saw that. Thanx qin | 03:49 |
| qin | MrGizmo757: just make copy of files in one folder for mistake purposes | 03:50 |

| TXRoadkill | I installed 13 last night, and now VLC won't launch, and Rhythmbox won't play internet streams | 04:21 |
| === whoever is now known as Guest38839 | ||
| wilee-nilee | TXRoadkill, Run vlc in the terminal and look for errors. Did you install the ubuntu-restricted-extras | 04:27 |
| TXRoadkill | Except for installing KDE, I'm using a generic version of 13.04 | 04:28 |
| TXRoadkill | and I'm not using KDE as the interface | 04:28 |
| TXRoadkill | I'm using Unity. Keeping as generic as possible | 04:29 |
| lee__ | qin, the problem is :there is a function named foo() in the ~/.bashrc ,but when you switch to root with command su ,you can't call the foo() functions | 04:29 |
| wilee-nilee | TXRoadkill, Install the restricted extras for additional codecs, and report errors on vlc if needed. | 04:29 |
| TXRoadkill | Everything was working fine until I upgraded to 13.04 yesterday | 04:29 |
| TXRoadkill | it's not just VLC | 04:30 |
| TXRoadkill | Rhythmbox is broken also | 04:30 |
| wilee-nilee | TXRoadkill, Upgrades can be problematic on occasion. | 04:30 |
| TXRoadkill | it would appear ;) | 04:30 |
| TXRoadkill | Just wondering is anyone else had had the problem | 04:31 |
| TXRoadkill | couldn't find anything with a Google search | 04:31 |
| TXRoadkill | but they just offered the general release yesterday | 04:31 |

| lotuspsychje | lucido: you can rezise partitions from default install, choosing 'other options' | 05:51 |
| wilee-nilee | lucido, Yes. | 05:51 |
| Joanet | after changing the background and logo I want to freeze the user profiles | 05:51 |
| lotuspsychje | Joanet: ah you need to do it in root account, to make it change for all users | 05:52 |
| Joanet | but first of all I want to do this. I think it will be a weirdness but... still no luck changing them | 05:53 |
| lucido | lotuspsychje, the move and resize is on a partition with 700Gb of data, it isnt empty | 05:53 |

| histo | !alis | pyWorks_ | 06:11 |
| ubottu | pyWorks_: alis is a services bot that can help you find channels. Read "/msg alis help list" for help and ask any questions about it in #freenode. Example usage: /msg alis list #ubuntu* or /msg alis list *http* | 06:11 |
| Ben64 | pyWorks_: i think you need to be registered | 06:12 |
| histo | jaapio: how are you trying to mount it | 06:12 |
| jaapio | histo: is in the fstab | 06:12 |
| lotuspsychje | Joanet: anything usefull in errors? | 06:12 |
| pyWorks_ | thanks | 06:12 |
| histo | jaapio: please post your fstab to paste.ubuntu.com so we can take a look | 06:12 |
| jaapio | the bootlog shows an error: Failed to resolve server | 06:13 |
| jaapio | http://paste.ubuntu.com/5628192/ | 06:14 |
| jaapio | but after startup i'm able to mount it with "mount -a" | 06:14 |
| histo | jaapio: try by ip instead of hostname | 06:15 |
| histo | jaapio: also it's possible networking isn't up when it try's to mount so you need a mount -a later on in the boot | 06:15 |
| jaapio | histo: I think that's the case. Since when I get the login screen of KDE I have to wait a minute before I can logon. (Using LDAP from the same server) | 06:17 |
| th0r | jaapio: do you get prompted for a password when you mount the drive after login? | 06:17 |
| Mba7eth | guys do you know where can we get help on IRC for sphinx-doc ? | 06:18 |
| Spaceghost | Hello. | 06:18 |
| jaapio | th0r: no, its an nfs drive | 06:18 |
| Spaceghost | I am having a problem and it's this: | 06:18 |
| Spaceghost | guest-tYzA2S@space-Notebook-PC:~$ LANG=En sudo add-apt-repository ppa:nowrep/qupzilla | 06:18 |
| Spaceghost | sudo: unable to change to sudoers gid: Operation not permitted | 06:18 |
| lotuspsychje | Spaceghost: login as root, not as guest | 06:19 |
| Spaceghost | What is the problem? | 06:19 |
| Spaceghost | I was forced to create a new account because the old had problem. | 06:19 |
| Spaceghost | lotuspsychje: when I try it through su I have login problems. | 06:19 |
| Spaceghost | And I don't remember have changed the password. | 06:19 |
| Spaceghost | What I can do? | 06:19 |
| Ben64 | Spaceghost: well you can't use sudo as guest | 06:19 |
| qin | Spaceghost: guest = no su, no sudo, period | 06:19 |
| histo | jaapio: There are other mount options you can use i'm looking into them now. | 06:20 |
| lotuspsychje | Spaceghost: did you loose your root login+password? | 06:21 |
| Ben64 | there is no root password | 06:21 |
| histo | jaapio: http://askubuntu.com/questions/125408/mounting-nfs-synchronously-on-boot This may be of interest to you. | 06:21 |
| Spaceghost | lotuspsychje: when I put "su" then I put the one password and then it fails. | 06:21 |
| lotuspsychje | !su | Spaceghost | 06:21 |
| ubottu | Spaceghost: sudo is a command to run command-line programs with superuser privileges ("root") (also see !cli). Look at https://help.ubuntu.com/community/RootSudo for more information. For graphical applications see !gksu (GNOME, Xfce), or !kdesudo (KDE). If you're unable to execute commands with sudo see: http://www.psychocats.net/ubuntu/fixsudo | 06:21 |
| Ben64 | Spaceghost: you need to log in as your user, guest will not work | 06:21 |
| jaapio | histo: tnx, I will have a look | 06:23 |
| histo | jaapio: they are trying to mount /home like you are | 06:24 |
| SilvereX | How do I install the open-source radeon drivers? | 06:25 |
| Ben64 | !radeon | SilvereX | 06:25 |
| ubottu | SilvereX: For Ati/NVidia/Matrox video cards, see https://help.ubuntu.com/community/VideoDriverHowto | 06:25 |
| Ben64 | oh you said open source | 06:25 |
| Ben64 | SilvereX: they should already be installed | 06:26 |

| === Zeev_i is now known as Zeev | ||
| histo | Mikeasaurus: What kind of chipset and how did you "update" drivers? | 06:27 |
| pall | I have a general IRC question, What does it mean that i have to auth to services to join a channel. It asks for a username and password, is this my current login name and password to my box | 06:28 |
| Mikeasaurus | I guess I did an upgrade, sudo apt-get install b43-fwcutter firmware-b43-installer | 06:28 |
| histo | pall: no you register with nickserv ask in #help | 06:28 |
| Mikeasaurus | BCM4306 (rev 3) card | 06:28 |
| histo | Mikeasaurus: can you pastebin the output of lspci -k | 06:28 |
| aeon-ltd | pall: no, on this network [freenode] you register a account with email username password | 06:28 |
| A1Recon | pall: u can set your own username so that it can be used only by u | 06:29 |
| histo | Mikeasaurus: and sudo iwlist scan | 06:29 |
| pall | ALL: thank you | 06:29 |
| SilvereX | Ben64: Yeah I've heard they're bundled in with Ubuntu but I can't for the life of me find the "Additional Drivers" manager in LXDE | 06:30 |
| A1Recon | Can I password protect the terminal of ubuntu? | 06:30 |
| penguinman | SilvereX, try the command software-properties-gtk | 06:30 |
| agu10^^ | Hello. I have an issue. When i boot up my server the DNS port/connection gets blocked. I think iptables is not working properly. What can I do? I have flushed but every time I reboot iptables strikes back. | 06:31 |
| histo | A1Recon: O.o ? they already have to login to get there. | 06:31 |
| SilvereX | penguinman: Okay, that worked. But there's nothing listed in "Additional Drivers" | 06:32 |
| histo | SilvereX: What are you trying to do? | 06:32 |
| MrEmerald | I don't know if this would be the right place, but my apache2 is started, and I can go to localhost, but it won't show all my files in the www dir. I moved all these files from the windows side and put them in my ubuntu side. I restarted the server a few times already... still not showing all the files(folders) | 06:32 |
| histo | agu10^^: still? Add an exception for DNS in iptables | 06:32 |
| histo | !firewall | agu10^^ | 06:32 |
| ubottu | agu10^^: 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. | 06:32 |
| SilvereX | histo: Install the open-source radeon drivers because I have a Radeon HD4850 and the fglrx drivers don't support that on Ubuntu 13.04 | 06:32 |
| histo | agu10^^: second link ^^ | 06:32 |
| SilvereX | But I heard the open-source drivers do work on 13.04 | 06:33 |
| histo | SilvereX: they are already installed by default | 06:33 |
| A1Recon | OK | 06:33 |
| A1Recon | got it | 06:33 |
| agu10^^ | histo, but i just want to have no rules! like the initial configuration | 06:33 |
| A1Recon | I was watching a video | 06:33 |
| histo | agu10^^: iredmail's script set your iptables to drop all incoming packets except for the the exceptions you see when you iptables --list. You just need to add a rule for dns | 06:34 |
| histo | agu10^^: sudo ufw allow dns | 06:34 |
| Mikeasaurus | A1Recon I installed them as shown on the help.ubuntu.com website and it installed, then I restarted. Now when I try to do it again it says "e: unable to locatepackage firmware-b43" | 06:34 |
| A1Recon | histo: how did you put your name in red, like the message that you sent me just now "<histo> A1Recon: O.o ? they already have to login to get there." your name's in RED | 06:34 |
| theadmin | Is there a way to bind a key / key combination to toggle the touchpad? My laptop doesn't have a key for that :/ | 06:34 |
| RainbowW | is there a way to limit, or lift the limit, on the number of connections to sshd/sftpd from a single user, or from all users? | 06:34 |
| theadmin | A1Recon: When someone mentions your nickname, it's highlighted for you | 06:35 |
| Mikeasaurus | And sudo iwlist scan gives me "lo interface doesnt support scanning" and eth0 "interface doesnt support scanning" | 06:35 |
| histo | A1Recon: because your nick is in the line | 06:35 |
| histo | !who | A1Recon | 06:35 |
| ubottu | A1Recon: As you can see, this is a large channel. If you're speaking to someone in particular, please put their nickname in what you say (use !tab), or else messages get lost and it becomes confusing :) | 06:35 |
| A1Recon | !histo | 06:35 |
| histo | Mikeasaurus: did you get your lspci -k output yet? | 06:35 |
| histo | A1Recon: What? | 06:35 |
| MrEmerald | I don't know if this would be the right place, but my apache2 is started, and I can go to localhost, but it won't show all my files in the www dir. I moved all these files from the windows side and put them in my ubuntu side. I restarted the server a few times already... still not showing all the files(folders) | 06:35 |
| A1Recon | I think I got it | 06:35 |
| SilvereX | histo: Doesn't look that way. Ugh, I think I might just wipe my PC and go back to 12.10 | 06:36 |
| Bodsda | MrEmerald: erm... are any of them web pages? | 06:36 |
| agu10^^ | histo, i think i found the rules file made by the malware i installed | 06:36 |
| agu10^^ | let me see if deleting them will help | 06:36 |
| MrEmerald | Bodsda: All of them are, but they are separated in folders | 06:36 |
| theadmin | SilvereX: Suggest 12.04 for more stability + longer support. | 06:36 |
| histo | MrEmerald: /j #httpd | 06:37 |
| MrEmerald | histo: thanks | 06:37 |
| histo | agu10^^: just sudo ufw allow dns ffs | 06:37 |
| Mikeasaurus | histo I just did lspci -k output and got a bunch of options and pci acess options | 06:37 |
| theadmin | MrEmerald: Check the permissions on them, they should be owned by www-data methinks (see what /var/www is owned by) | 06:37 |
| MrEmerald | theadmin: Ill have a look | 06:37 |
| histo | Mikeasaurus: yes can you please post the info the paste.ubuntu.com or use pastebinit to do so. lspci -k | pastebinit | 06:37 |
| MrEmerald | theadmin: yeah they are owned by my windows 7 side, ill check how I can change over the perm | 06:38 |
| Bodsda | MrEmerald: man chown | 06:39 |
| Mikeasaurus | www.pastebin.com/WbGatjRy | 06:39 |
| histo | Mikeasaurus: try it without typing output after lspci -k | 06:40 |
| MrEmerald | theadmin: I found out the problem, was just the perms lol | 06:41 |
| xlaire | how to install google chrome without knowing the exact file location of the install ? | 06:42 |
| Mikeasaurus | www.pastebin.com/ikFquhQr | 06:42 |
| histo | xlaire: What? | 06:42 |
| A1Recon | A1Recon | 06:42 |
| histo | Mikeasaurus: "lspci -k" without quotes | 06:42 |
| xlaire | this is the https://dl.google.com/linux/direct/google-chrome-stable_current_i386.deb of the chrome | 06:43 |
| xlaire | without searching the internet how to locate that using terminal | 06:43 |
| xlaire | without using* | 06:43 |
| Mikeasaurus | my bad, www.pastebin.com/K9pD9W7W | 06:44 |
| theadmin | xlaire: No way, I mean... Chrome is only available as that .deb. To actually find the link, you'd need to browse their site. | 06:44 |
| xlaire | i see | 06:44 |
| xlaire | thx | 06:44 |
| theadmin | Ubuntu repositories provide Chromium which integrates with the system better anyway (web app support for example) | 06:45 |
| xlaire | no idea on terms you are using | 06:45 |
| xlaire | been 2 months now using ubuntu | 06:45 |
| theadmin | xlaire: Search "Chromium" in the software centre, works better with Ubuntu -- clear now :P | 06:46 |
| theadmin | ? | 06:46 |
| xlaire | i enjoyed but i need some time to research i guess what is repositories | 06:46 |
| xlaire | sorry i dont like to use mouse that is why i switch to ubuntu | 06:46 |
| UbuBegin | What is the minimum reqd for installing 13.04.. I have an old lap.. Centrino 2 i think.. http://www.ubuntu.com/desktop .. I searched here but cudn't find any links | 06:46 |
| theadmin | xlaire: "Repositories" are storage of software supported by Ubuntu developers. They're quite huge. You can access them using the Software Centre, Synaptic (GUI) or apt-get, wajig (CLI) | 06:47 |
| histo | Mikeasaurus: lspci -vnn -d 14e4: Does that have any output? | 06:47 |
| xlaire | i understand now | 06:47 |
| Mikeasaurus | No it just goes down to the next line with :~$ | 06:47 |
| theadmin | UbuBegin: As for the processor, Pentium Pro and up (i686). 512MB of RAM. But Ubuntu is *heavy* on 3D graphics, you may like Xubuntu instead. | 06:48 |
| Mikeasaurus | wrong sorry it does | 06:48 |
| A1Recon | ubottu | 06:48 |
| histo | Mikeasaurus: You should be using the b43 driver not the wl driver | 06:49 |
| Mikeasaurus | www.pastebin.com/S272Nfwa | 06:49 |
| theadmin | UbuBegin: Xubuntu and Lubuntu generally work better on older hardwares. | 06:49 |
| Mikeasaurus | sudo apt-get install b43-fwcutter firmware-b43-installer | 06:49 |
| Mikeasaurus | Thats what I used | 06:49 |
| xlaire | another, hope i didnt annoyed good people here: my friend just bought new laptop and i think the OS is just unix | 06:49 |
| xlaire | does unix can connect to network and internet | 06:50 |
| theadmin | xlaire: UNIX? That doesn't really exist anymore :P | 06:50 |
| theadmin | xlaire: Besides that has nothing to do with Ubuntu so can't help ehre | 06:50 |
| xlaire | do you have idea on what OS is that | 06:50 |
| xlaire | is pure terminal | 06:50 |
| xlaire | its* and i run like ls, i think it is something linux/unix | 06:51 |
| xlaire | i see ok | 06:51 |
| xlaire | np | 06:51 |
| histo | Mikeasaurus: this issn't a usb device right? | 06:51 |
| theadmin | xlaire: Well... There are many Linux distributions which come without a graphical interface, but uh... You can check with "uname -a" for starters and then try to cat /etc/*release | 06:51 |
| Mikeasaurus | No | 06:51 |
| Mikeasaurus | Its inside the lapto | 06:51 |
| xlaire | ok thx for the command, i will try | 06:52 |
| histo | Mikeasaurus: do you have bcmwl-kernel-source installed or brocom-sta ??? that could cause the issue | 06:52 |
| Mikeasaurus | Not sure, how do I tell | 06:52 |
| Mikeasaurus | I think bcmwl-kernel-source | 06:52 |
| histo | Mikeasaurus: dpkg -l | grep bcmwl | 06:53 |
| Mikeasaurus | pastebin.com/fgdbtYYX | 06:54 |
| Joanet | lotuspsychje: hi again, I got this error : GConf WARNING : You can't use a GconfEngine that has an active Gconfclient wrapper object. Use GConfclient API instead | 06:55 |
| Joanet | I'm looking for more info about that | 06:55 |
| Joanet | lotuspsychje: I'm going to to a debug | 06:58 |
| jackw | 64 bit or 32? | 06:58 |
| jackw | what you thing about 64 bit??? faster than 32? | 06:58 |
| Bodsda | jackw: depends on you're computer - CPU architecture and amount of RAM | 06:58 |
| UbuBegin | theadmin, Can you watch videos,browse internet and run torrents in Lubuntu... Or it purely command based only | 06:59 |
| ashish | hi | 06:59 |
| ashish | everyone | 06:59 |
| jackw | yes you can do these under lubuntu | 06:59 |
| theadmin | UbuBegin: No, it has a graphical interface | 06:59 |
| Bodsda | UbuBegin: you can do all of that, Lubuntu is lxde based - iirc | 06:59 |
| jackw | just like what you do on ubuntu they are the safe mostly | 07:00 |
| theadmin | UbuBegin: I suggest Xubuntu though if you have to use a non-latin keyboard, Lubuntu had problems with switching last I checked :/ Well, or you could setxkbmap -option grp:alt_shift_toggle us,ru # or such | 07:00 |
| jackw | i suggest you use ubuntu | 07:00 |
| jackw | ubuntu provides the best experience | 07:01 |
| theadmin | jackw: (s)he stated above (s)he has older hardware (and Ubuntu is... well...) | 07:01 |
| UbuBegin | theadmin, I just use English... | 07:01 |
| theadmin | UbuBegin: Ah, then use whichever you prefer :D | 07:01 |
| helmut_ | hi | 07:01 |
| jackw | if you want to real lightweight go lubuntu | 07:02 |
| UbuBegin | jackw, it has 1/2 gig ram.. so lubuntu wud be better .. | 07:02 |
| aeon-ltd | ^ by far | 07:02 |
| Bodsda | UbuBegin: there are plenty of options, lubuntu is a good choice as is xubuntu, puppy, dsl, ubuntu + lightweight DE - try them out and pick whichever 'you' like | 07:03 |
| Mikeasaurus | you still here histo? | 07:05 |
| UbuBegin | Bodsda, Are all of COTS products ?? I dont want to sit down and configure stuffs | 07:06 |
| Bodsda | UbuBegin: cots? | 07:06 |
| himanshu_linux | hi , i have download ubuntu 13.04 , and now i want to just replace my existing ubuntu 12.04 . Is there any safer way to replace it without losing files ??? | 07:07 |
| somsip | himanshu_linux: backup first | 07:07 |
| UbuBegin | Bodsda, I mean Of the shelf usuage... No config needed.. And installing of now s/w shld be easy like ubuntu also | 07:07 |
| Bodsda | UbuBegin: ubuntu is one of the most pre-configured distro's - but it may also be worth checking out Mint, not sure what their recommended specs are though | 07:08 |
| theadmin | UbuBegin: Ubuntu and all of the officially supported derivatives (Kubuntu, Lubuntu, Xubuntu) are pretty much out-of-the-box, no configuring is required | 07:09 |
| theadmin | !coc | Bodsda do not recommend unsupported distributions | 07:09 |

| marandi | hi guys , i just downloaded 13.04 ! if i mout the iso file and add it as repository in software source , can i upgrade my 12.04 without any problem ? | 07:09 |
| Bodsda | theadmin: seriously, don't bother | 07:09 |
| theadmin | marandi: You can't skip releases | 07:09 |
| himanshu_linux | somsip : i have lots of files . how to backup them to different place? and by back up you mean to transfer to different drive or is there way ? | 07:09 |
| theadmin | marandi: You'd have to upgrade to 12.10 first, or reinstall from scratch | 07:10 |
| marandi | theadmin: im sorry , my mistake i have 12.10 in my laptop | 07:10 |
| theadmin | marandi: Ah. Then it is recommended to upgrade by using the update manager. I'm actually not sure if upgrading from DVD is supported anymore. | 07:10 |
| theadmin | marandi: Should be, though, you'd get a pop-up asking if you want to upgrade when you insert the media | 07:11 |
| Joanet | lotuspsychje: I think I have the problem | 07:11 |
| auronandace | marandi: boot the media and run the installer and it will offer to upgrade 12.10 to 13.04 | 07:11 |
| marandi | theadmin: great , let me check it ! just one more question , should i mount iso file as CDROM label to able add it in software source ?! | 07:12 |
| somsip | himanshu_linux: rsync or cp with the correct params to keep all permissions etc. See !backup. You need to copy them away from the source partition that is being written to be safe | 07:12 |
| theadmin | marandi: Listen to auronandace, it seems he knows how it's done | 07:12 |
| himanshu_linux | somsip : ok | 07:13 |
| marandi | auronandace: ok , great but im not able to write the iso on the disk ! my driver is broken , i want to use iso file | 07:13 |
| somsip | himanshu_linux: not source partition...I mean target partition that the upgrader will write to | 07:14 |
| auronandace | marandi: i don't know how but i know grub can boot from iso files, sorry i can't help you with that | 07:14 |
| Joanet | lotuspsychje: When I use ubuntu-tweak on normal ubuntu, it wrote change on /usr/share/glib-2.0/schemas/50_unity-greeter.gschema.override, but it seems Edubuntu uses other file | 07:14 |
| nahuel_ | plese i need enter to the spanish chanel, thanks | 07:14 |
| Bodsda | nahuel_: /j #ubuntu-es | 07:14 |
| nahuel_ | thanks | 07:14 |
| himanshu_linux | somsip : hmm got it | 07:14 |
| theadmin | marandi: Install "grml-rescueboot", place the ISO file in /boot/grml and run "sudo update-grub" | 07:14 |
| marandi | theadmin: wow .. :D ! | 07:14 |
| marandi | auronandace: its alright , thanks btw ! | 07:15 |
| SweetPlum | Wait, did that automatically divert me to the ##matlab channel when I clicked the other one? | 07:16 |
| SweetPlum | That's clever. | 07:16 |
| theadmin | SweetPlum: This is #ubuntu | 07:16 |
| SweetPlum | True enough. :) | 07:17 |
| histo | Mikeasaurus: remove the bcmwl-kernel-source package... sudo apt-get remove bcmwl-kernel-source | 07:17 |
| histo | Mikeasaurus: and the sta package if you have it sudo apt-get remove broadcom-sta | 07:18 |
| histo | Mikeasaurus: then if you have the b43 firmware you should be good to go after restart | 07:18 |
| Mikeasaurus | awesome, thank you histo | 07:19 |

| BigFist | is there some bug in recent update for 13.04? Suddenly I cannot set launcher entry properties. I can get proper entry object (python), i can call set_property, but there is no visible effect whatsoever | 07:23 |
| Mikeasaurus | histo you are my hero, it works! | 07:24 |
| waseem_ | Hi. This answer, ask ubuntu, talks about how to have gnome-terminal start bash as a login shell http://askubuntu.com/a/40313. This however requires that I use GUI to check that option. I'm sshed on a remote server and can't forward X locally. Is there a way I could do the same from CLI? | 07:27 |
| gartral | alright, I'm frustrated.. I have half a dozen USB thumbdrives i'm trying to format and for each one, no matter what settings or port I use, i get an error similar to these http://paste.ubuntu.com/5628310/ shortly before gparted barfs.. I'm running Ubuntu 12.10 with kernel 3.5.0-27-lowlatency | 07:28 |
| histo | Mikeasaurus: np | 07:32 |
| wilee-nilee | gartral, Do you have them unmounted? | 07:42 |
| A1Recon | I want to Dual Boot my system with Win7 (Preinstalled) and Ubuntu. I have made a bootable thumb drive using UNetBootin, and I used CHKDSK command in the Win7 and the drive is fine. | 07:44 |
| A1Recon | I am ready to shrink the volume to somewhere around 20GB | 07:45 |
| A1Recon | and I am following this http://lifehacker.com/5403100/dual+boot-windows-7-and-ubuntu-in-perfect-harmony | 07:45 |
| A1Recon | But what use is GParted?? | 07:45 |
| gartral | wilee-nilee: yes | 07:45 |
| BluesKaj | windows needs a bit more than 20G | 07:46 |
| A1Recon | BluesKj I mean for Ubuntu | 07:46 |
| BluesKaj | 2-g for / , A1Recon? | 07:47 |
| gartral | BluesKaj: Blasphamy, Windows doesn't need more than 20 gigs as long as you cut out all the bloat, including the localizations you'll never use. | 07:47 |
| BluesKaj | err 20 | 07:47 |
| A1Recon | Windows and the rest software get around 55GB | 07:47 |
| BluesKaj | gartral, let's not debate that here | 07:47 |
| A1Recon | I have 931 Gb for storage | 07:48 |
| gartral | BluesKaj: fair enough | 07:48 |
| A1Recon | *GB | 07:48 |
| A1Recon | So guys what use is GParted?? | 07:48 |
| A1Recon | Cant I just specify which drive to install in? | 07:48 |
| ntzrmtthihu777 | sup all :D, here to support and be supported. | 07:48 |
| ntzrmtthihu777 | Altimeter: GParted is alright, I suppose, but its definition of gb differs from both the installer and nautilus | 07:49 |
| theadmin | A1Recon: Sure you can, GParted has no relationship to installation most of the time (all partitioning can be done from the installer), it's there to modify existing installations (resize, move, delete partitions) | 07:49 |
| A1Recon | threadmin: got it | 07:50 |
| gartral | wilee-nilee: what's weird is, I'm only getting these errors with usb flash drives, I have a bunch of other things connected through usb on this machine, including a scanner, webcam, my usual mouse and keyboard, and my wifi card.. | 07:50 |
| wilee-nilee | A1Recon, YOu can build partitions in gparted or with using the something other manual install. YOu will use the manual anyway to point the install to a HD, and make sure grub goes to that HD's mbr. | 07:50 |
| BluesKaj | A1Recon, for ubuntu are you going to create a /home partition or just one / for the whole OS? Yes , ubiquity installer will give partitoning options when you run the install media. | 07:50 |
| yeehi | chromium is a bit wild on raring 64bit. I have 3 tabs open, and am leaving it alone. Then I notice that Chromium is using 1.9 GB of memory! and the cpu usage for chromium is up to 40% or more... what is going on? | 07:51 |
| wilee-nilee | gartral, I have a number of usb connects as well, however I would consider that if getting errors. I don't really recognize the errors. | 07:51 |
| ntzrmtthihu777 | A1Recon: I highly suggest a separat /home | 07:51 |
| A1Recon | separate partition for Ubuntu | 07:51 |
| gartral | wilee-nilee: i'm afraid i don't quite understand what you mean | 07:52 |

| llutz | A1Recon: if you use a swap-file, you cannot hibernate (with default settings). but hibernation + dualbooting is not advised anyways | 07:54 |
| yeehi | hi, qin - how do i test flash? in text only mode? | 07:54 |
| bazhang | nobitanobi, top or htop in terminal | 07:54 |
| bazhang | nobitanobi, you need to install htop | 07:54 |

| qin | nobitanobi: iftop | 07:55 |
| wilee-nilee | gartral, If you have a number of usb's plugged in: "I have a bunch of other things connected through usb on this machine, including a scanner, webcam, my usual mouse and keyboard, and my wifi card" you might unplug what is not needed, to format a usb to see if you have success. Are you using gparted to unmout the usb's? | 07:55 |
| theadmin | yeehi: ...Flash is much of a graphical browser plugin. That, and I don't know of any text-only browser which'd support NPAPI. | 07:55 |
| BluesKaj | A1Recon, a swap partition is usually fsarer than a swap file , but it's hard to tell | 07:55 |
| yeehi | ah, ok, i will try that | 07:55 |
| bazhang | nobitanobi, another top then iftop | 07:55 |

| nobitanobi | really appreaciate | 07:56 |
| gartral | wilee-nilee: ahh, i've tried that too, with the exact same result, and my system won't try to automount these flashdrives as they don't even have partition tables yet | 07:56 |
| nobitanobi | I have a feeling that some process just wakes up and kills my bandwith | 07:57 |

| mman | i'm build some .deb packages and created a repository. When trying to install i get the following msg :Die folgenden Pakete haben unerfüllte Abhängigkeiten: | 08:51 |
| mman | tivsm-full : Hängt ab von: tivsm-dep32:any (>= 6.4.0-1) | 08:51 |
| mman | Basically it says that the package doesnt satisfy the dependencies.. what does exactly that mean? | 08:52 |

| heneusl_pay | How do I lower the transmission strenth of the wireless on Ubuntu 12? | 08:52 |
| ntzrmtthihu777 | mman: you need something installed, but it is not. you could fix it by running sudo apt-get -f install | 08:52 |
| heneusl_pay | damit! | 08:52 |

| llutz | heneusl_pay: "man iwconfig" sudo iwconfig wlan0 txpower xx if your device accepts that setting | 08:52 |
| heneusl_pay | iwconfig is for intel chipsets I recall | 08:53 |
| llutz | its not | 08:53 |
| bazhang | heneusl_pay, thats not correct | 08:54 |
| heneusl_pay | well thats why its iw intel wireless | 08:54 |

| snuggl | heneusl_pay: you need to be root | 09:01 |

| moko_ | hi! | 09:11 |
| heneusl_pay | brb | 09:11 |
| druedan | could someone help me with dual booting ubunto in my win7 machine? I just need to know which and what size partitions i must create in order to use the ubunto for basic fiddeling arround with, nothing big... | 09:11 |
| sazawal | I wrote a script to end a python script on system shutdown/restart. But it seems that the terminal window(guake in my case) is killed before the kill command of the script is executed. How to fix it? | 09:12 |
| moko_ | hey druedan, i'd suggest making 3 partitions, one for ram swap, which should be double your ram size, one for root, min10gb, i use 20gb, and one for your home, which is basically all your files, ext4 is the filesystem to choose | 09:13 |
| ntzrmtthihu777 | druedan: you don't need too much space for ubuntu. I set a 16gb root myself, but you could likely get away with 8. | 09:13 |
| moko_ | druedan, ntzrmtthihu777 , ye the root partitions basically limits the amount of apps you can install, you can always resize the partition. it all depends on how much apps you're planning on using | 09:14 |
| ironhalik | I've got a problem - my X220 lappy has an issue on raring - the touchpad (clickpad) is extremely choppy - it moves ok, but trying to click on something ends with the cursor jumping around. It works ok on Fedora 18 (same as original windows installation). | 09:14 |
| ntzrmtthihu777 | moko_: yep. honeslty I've not even half-wayed my root yet, and I've got allota apps and dev libraries installed. granted I'm using lightweight xubuntu but still. | 09:15 |
| druedan | what about the /home partition? what does it consist of? | 09:15 |
| ntzrmtthihu777 | druedan: /home is like your C:\Users folder | 09:15 |
| mac_nibblet | How do i use resolvconf to set my nameservers ? | 09:15 |
| druedan | how much space does it ussually take up? | 09:16 |
| llutz | !resolv.conf | mac_nibblet | 09:16 |
| ubottu | mac_nibblet: resolvconf is a set of scripts that's used to manage /etc/resolv.conf in 12.04 and later, for more information please see: http://www.stgraber.org/2012/02/24/dns-in-ubuntu-12-04/ and https://help.ubuntu.com/12.10/serverguide/network-configuration.html#name-resolution | 09:16 |
| mac_nibblet | llutz: my dns server is so slow i cannot access any sites | 09:16 |
| mac_nibblet | our stupid ISP | 09:16 |
| moko_ | ntzrmtthihu777, I ran out of my 10gb only after one month of usage, got a lot of demanding apps though, such as netbeans, blender, gimp.. | 09:16 |
| mac_nibblet | so i cant read that information | 09:16 |
| ntzrmtthihu777 | druedan: I have a full ubuntu install, so its more to me. But it contains your personal stuffs, like config files, music, pictures, etc. | 09:16 |
| moko_ | druedan, the home partition is your documents, your downloads, it consists of only what you save or create there | 09:17 |
| druedan | can't i just save all that in root though? | 09:17 |
| llutz | mac_nibblet: as a temporary workaround, add "nameserver 8.8.8.8" to "/etc/resolv.conf". then read the info and do it "right" ;) | 09:17 |
| llutz | druedan: you can, separat home just makes upgrading/reinstalling a bit easier in some cases | 09:18 |
| moko_ | druedan, you could, but it would defeat the purpose of root, which is that of an admin | 09:18 |
| moko_ | llutz, have you upgraded to 13.04 yet? | 09:19 |
| llutz | no, why should i | 09:19 |
| wooo | Hey please someone tell me how file system check if a particular file is file or directory in linux. Basically how the isDirectory function is implemented? | 09:19 |
| moko_ | llutz, well the UEFI is one reason imho | 09:19 |
| llutz | moko_: this old notebook doesn't suppor UEFI | 09:19 |
| llutz | support | 09:19 |
| druedan | and is it possible for me to for example share my D: drive with both Operating systems, and use it in ubunto as /home? | 09:19 |
| moko_ | llutz, right, i'm just a bit angsty about running the update, not sure if it will mess up my setup | 09:20 |
| moko_ | druedan, you can access all your drives from ubuntu | 09:20 |
| llutz | moko_: then don't update if you dont really miss something | 09:20 |
| moko_ | llutz, i'd do it for UEFI, so i could double boot with win8 | 09:21 |
| druedan | then i don't really need to create a /home partition and use D: which is my files only no os drive as /home? | 09:21 |
| moko_ | what is the filesystem on your D partition? | 09:23 |
| moko_ | NTFS? | 09:23 |
| druedan | yeah | 09:23 |
| Meisyou | need for speed | 09:23 |
| Meisyou | I dont have any partitions | 09:24 |
| llutz | moko_: doesn't 12.04 have UEFI-support? i'm not very versed with that, using it at home but not for dual-boot. There i just use an "efibootmgr" entry booting the kernel directly | 09:24 |
| Meisyou | What to do | 09:24 |
| qin | druedan: you rather want to have /home, and eventualy use links to ms partition | 09:24 |
| moko_ | druedan, ubuntu does support reading NTFS, but it sounds a bit fishy to me | 09:24 |
| Ben64 | shouldn't use ntfs for /home | 09:24 |
| llutz | it also support ntfs-writing | 09:24 |
| Meisyou | Fuck yu | 09:25 |
| moko_ | llutz, it does, but it doesn't support secure boot | 09:25 |

| druid | I basically want to do the equivalancy of a ssh -D, using openvpn. I'm really intersted in an explanation or a complete tutorial that i havn't found util no... Thanks in advance | 09:27 |
| druid | I have looked at the documentation and i don't understand how to do that... Can someone help me? | 09:27 |
| ezra-s | druid, use ssh tunneling with a dynamic tunnel , configure chrome to use that tunnel | 09:28 |

| druid | *moved | 09:28 |
| ezra-s | druid, mmm... I believe you are mistaken, or maybe I'm ignorant. -D and ssh are different layers, you can filter out ssh, but not -D in my knowledge | 09:29 |

| druid | ezra-s: i didn't think it was possible, but it is... I can ssh normally but when i try to ssh -D as i didd before it doesn't work... the browser says it can't contact the proxy. They prolly do DPI... :( | 09:31 |

| ggherdov | hi all. Just upgraded 12.10 ---> 13.04 and my system is in a broken state. Can somebody have a look at this and give me an hint on what to do? http://bpaste.net/show/nsPo7QYQUaj1Tv0sG5vQ/ | 09:31 |
| ezra-s | druid, but the proxy is your localhost (aka 127.0.0.1) which is using the ssh connectiong and can't be filtered out, how can a firewall determine if you are using a tunnel of any type inside ssh? | 09:32 |
| subthalamus | ggherdov: did u try "sudo apt-get -f install xorg" ? as it suggests? | 09:33 |
| ezra-s | druid, what's DPI? | 09:33 |
| druid | Deep packet inspection | 09:33 |
| ezra-s | druid, ummm, interesting, do you configure chrome to use 127.0.0.1 1080 ? | 09:34 |
| Anubis | ggherdov: did you tried sudo apt-get -f install without specifying any package ? | 09:34 |
| ggherdov | subthalamus: as shown in the pastebin, I did it. Anubis not, doing it | 09:34 |
| druid | I connect it to 9050 but that shouldn't change anything | 09:34 |
| druid | i'll give it a try, just in case. | 09:34 |
| llutz | gustav: and, does your exim advertise STARTTLS? | 09:35 |
| subthalamus | ggherdov: the pastebin does not show u doing -f as far as I see... | 09:35 |
| gustav | llutz: Not on the greeting. | 09:35 |
| llutz | gustav: you should check the config then | 09:35 |
| ggherdov | subthalamus: ah sorry my bad. I didn't understand you suggestion. | 09:36 |
| gustav | llutz: There are a zillion configs, not even sure which one does what. | 09:36 |
| ggherdov | subthalamus: Anubis: sorry for the noise. "-f" made the trick. Kudos to Ubuntu error messages. | 09:36 |

| LinuxNewbish | good day , im have a problem regarding the booting of Ubuntu 12.10 when i dual boot it with win8 it doesnt show me the window where i choise between Ubuntu or Win8 please help | 09:38 |
| ezra-s | druid, I found that sometimes if you are not specific about the local ip you could get weird problems, so I always be specific just in case -D 127.0.0.1:1080 | 09:38 |
| LinuxNewbish | and install it side by side with win8 | 09:38 |
| llutz | gustav: how did you check if it advertieses or not? | 09:39 |
| gustav | llutz: telnet host 587 + wait. | 09:39 |
| ezra-s | druid, and even so... connecting to 127.0.0.1:1080 should always work, what would happen if firewalled is a timeout trying to reach destination I bet | 09:39 |

| Anubis | ggherdov: don't worry. you will receive this message when you install some package that doesn't meet the dependencies requirments | 09:39 |

| paulcsiki | hello everyone | 09:40 |
| llutz | gustav: use correct config path | 09:40 |
| paulcsiki | I have a production server on ubuntu server lts 12.04 with 512mb of swap and I would like to increase it to 2GB | 09:40 |
| Ben64 | paulcsiki: how much ram? | 09:41 |
| paulcsiki | I would like some help to know where I need to place the new swap image, since it has to be visible on the boot | 09:41 |
| llutz | paulcsiki: create a 1.5GB swapfile, add it as swap | 09:41 |
| paulcsiki | ben64: I have 4GB of ram | 09:41 |
| gustav | llutz: http://paste.ubuntu.com/5628613/ | 09:41 |
| Ben64 | paulcsiki: yeah what llutz says should work, but if you're actually going to be using that much swap, it's not very good | 09:42 |
| paulcsiki | I worry about placing it on the root fs since it might not be mounted at that point at boot. I don't know how boot works | 09:42 |
| paulcsiki | I have now 512mb of swap and it's 97% in use | 09:42 |
| llutz | gustav: have you checked the logs for any errors? | 09:42 |
| Ben64 | paulcsiki: thats not good | 09:42 |
| gustav | llutz: Nothing getting logged what I can see. | 09:43 |
| Ben64 | paulcsiki: how are you using so much memory? | 09:43 |
| gustav | llutz: So yes. | 09:43 |
| ezra-s | druid, also note.. chrome proxy implementation is different from firefox's, I think chrome uses system configuration, for me and use of tunneling I always get better results using firefox and for advanced configuring and multitunneling I use foxy proxy extention, and I leave chrome for direct internet browsing | 09:43 |

| Ben64 | paulcsiki: maybe top or htop to see what is using all the memory? | 09:44 |
| gustav | llutz: Should they be owned by Debian-exim? | 09:44 |
| gustav | Eh... | 09:44 |

| llutz | gustav: well, the user should exist... | 09:46 |

| paulcsiki | 6GB of ram the other server not 4 | 09:47 |
| paulcsiki | ben64: a reboot would fix it, you believe that increasing the swap memory is not needed? | 09:48 |

| LinuxNewbish | good day , im have a problem regarding the booting of Ubuntu 12.10 when i dual boot it with win8 it doesnt show me the window where i choise between Ubuntu or Win8 please help | 10:03 |
| LinuxNewbish | and install it side by side with win8 | 10:03 |
| llutz | anjay: if you run a cron-job, it doesn't use your x-display, it doesn't even use a terminal. so that won't work the wa you want | 10:04 |
| jrib | anjay: fix the issues I told you about for starters. Then you probably need to set DISPLAY for scrot to grab the right screen since, as llutz pointed out, it likely won't grab anything otherwise | 10:04 |
| xzcvczx | LinuxNewbish: any reason you are still using 12.10? as i heard there was an issue with win8 dual booting early in 13.04 | 10:04 |
| xzcvczx | which may have also been in 12.10, i am unsure as i don't dual boot | 10:04 |
| gustav | llutz: Ok, STARTTLS is advertised and it's connecting but TB never requests for a password in GUI and I get "relay not permitted." (Thankfully.) | 10:05 |
| adv_ | Hi all | 10:05 |
| LinuxNewbish | well no reason xzcvczx well can i dual boot 13.04 ? | 10:06 |
| tripweed | i'd like to give 13.04 a go, but I had such issues with 12.10 | 10:06 |
| llutz | gustav: did you configure exim for smtp-auth (sasl)? | 10:06 |
| gustav | llutz: Yeah, at least I followed some instructions to do it. Not sure if it propagated in the files. | 10:07 |
| gustav | llutz: All instructions seems to be for split-file config. | 10:07 |
| gustav | Maybe. | 10:07 |

| EkielZan | How can i turn off two extended monitor with a command line like vbetool or similar. I'm just able to swith one off for the moment | 10:07 |
| dn4 | man this generic 3.5.0-28 header thing is messing my ubuntu up it seems like | 10:07 |
| gustav | exim4 should just go with Apache style configs instead. | 10:08 |
| gustav | Easier for me. :3 | 10:08 |

| gustav | :3 | 10:10 |
| llutz | gustav: what did you have to change? | 10:10 |
| swagat | I love ubuntu! | 10:10 |
| gustav | llutz: Uncomment lines about sasl server in exim4.conf.template. | 10:10 |
| llutz | gustav: well. makes sense to enable sasl if oyu want to use sasl :) | 10:11 |
| Rohan | I love Ubuntu too!! | 10:11 |
| gustav | llutz: Had previously done it in conf.d/auth/30_exim4-config_examples. | 10:11 |
| Rohan | @swagat which version are you using | 10:11 |
| gustav | llutz: Yeah. It's confusing having all the files at once. | 10:11 |

| oskar- | Hi all, I have a Toshiba Tecra laptop with an internal 3G modem ("Toshiba Corp. F3607gw v2 Mobile Broadband Module"), that I used to enable with "toshset -3g on", which requires a special ACPI kernel module (I took it from http://ppa.launchpad.net/keks9n/main/ubuntu). With Ubuntu 13.04 this makes my system crash. Is there a cleaner way to enable the 3G modem? | 10:11 |
| llutz | gustav: yep, i don#t like that either, but i switched to postfix longtime ago | 10:12 |
| gustav | llutz: Hmm. Why? | 10:12 |
| Rohan | @swagat I am using 13.04. Its awesome | 10:12 |
| llutz | gustav: i never got really used to exim, i always found postfix better documented | 10:12 |
| swagat | @Rohan I will update later for sure :) | 10:13 |
| Rohan | only problem I am facing is kernel panic on disconnecting bluetooth Dial up connection | 10:13 |
| gustav | llutz: Mailing is always extremely difficult to configure (or for me, to understand what I'm doing.) I'm glad this works... but I would like to allow sending mails encrypted, server-to-server. Guessing I have to get postfix for that. -.-" | 10:13 |
| Rohan | everything else is super fast | 10:13 |
| gustav | I'm better at Apache but my first time configuring it was when I was 8 or 10. So, it's no brain puzzle why that should be easy. | 10:14 |
| swagat | @Rohan. You using BSNL? | 10:15 |
| Rohan | yeah | 10:15 |
| Rohan | u? | 10:15 |
| Rohan | hey swagat i am new here. I have no idea what you did back there | 10:15 |

| yoojin__ | Hello all. I am faced with a very odd issue. A Logitech wireless receiver of mine works with my mouse but isn't able to function with my keyboard. One extra button which would usually AeroFlip in Windows 7+ sends a command which rotates the screen in 90 degree increments, however no other functions are accessible. WTF? | 10:33 |
| xzcvczx | swagat: better to state, type and issue rather than just say you have an issue | 10:34 |
| Fira | The IP is assigned statically okay, but there are running instances of dhclient anyway | 10:34 |
| swagat | I'll post the dump here asap | 10:34 |
| xzcvczx | yoojin__: can you run xev from another keyboard and see whether the keyboard is generating anything? | 10:34 |

Arch Linux spits out messages about being unable to enumerate hardware devices on the usb port when I try the other PC. Two function buttons work. The mouse however works decently.

| Zync | hey guys how do i erase all data created during a ubuntu os installation if i messed up dual boot? | 10:51 |
| xzcvczx | Zync: messed up dual boot? | 10:51 |
| wallago | Can anyone help. I am trying to configure the Terminal to change the tab name whenever i ssh to a another machine. | 10:52 |
| wallago | The only method i have found is editing the .bashrc on the remote server but it is not practical as i have over 100 servers to configure | 10:52 |
| xzcvczx | Zync: does that meant your overwrote the bootloader and are unable to now boot windows? or you overwrote windows? | 10:52 |
| wallago | Im using Ubuntu 12.04 LTS with the default terminal | 10:52 |
| Zync | i created partitions for ubuntu but i can't run ubuntu only windows | 10:52 |
| yooj | xzcvczx, Do you charge by the job or hourly? Just a caring point in the right direction like xev was kinder of you than I expected. | 10:52 |
| xzcvczx | yooj: oh how i wish i charged at all :P | 10:52 |
| xzcvczx | Zync: what did you do when it came to the bootloader step of the install? | 10:53 |
| Zync | when i choose ubuntu 12.04 lts it tells me that error message you get when you install windows incorrectly, "pease insert windows cd yadda yada" | 10:53 |
| phaidros | xzcvczx: size of the partitions look ok. I have never seen such a thiung before. so I think either the fs is damaged or sparsefile craziness .. | 10:53 |
| phaidros | xzcvczx: any other ideas what to check? | 10:54 |
| moko_ | Zync, have you install ubuntu yet, or just created partitions? | 10:54 |
| xzcvczx | phaidros: dump your dmesg onto pastebin | 10:54 |
| phaidros | xzcvczx: not possible, offline machine, server repair in the cellar >( | 10:54 |
| phaidros | what to look for in dmesg? | 10:55 |
| xzcvczx | phaidros: plug in a usb drive dump dmesg into a text file on usb drive and bring through? | 10:55 |
| xzcvczx | phaidros: any fs errors reported in it | 10:55 |
| Zync | i installed it, and after the restart i couldn't run it, i did the easy bcd thing to add the ubunto into the bootloader and it just doesn't work | 10:55 |
| xzcvczx | they will probably be quite invasive if they are in there | 10:55 |
| phaidros | xzcvczx: ack | 10:56 |
| xzcvczx | yooj: still there? | 10:57 |
| yooj | xzcvczx, Yep. | 10:58 |
| yooj | xzcvczx, Just keyboard didn't work either. | 10:58 |
| xzcvczx | yooj: so when you plug in a usb keyboard you aren't able to type? | 10:58 |
| yooj | xzcvczx, Another does. This particular one no. | 10:58 |
| xzcvczx | yooj: so nothing changes in the terminal you ran xev from when you type on the wireless keyboard? | 10:59 |
| yooj | xzcvczx, Maybe it's just broken? | 10:59 |
| xzcvczx | unlikely? as it works elsewhere doesn't it? | 10:59 |
| yooj | xzcvczx, That's correct. Save the two keys I told you about every other one doesn't produce any result. | 11:00 |

| ShapeShifter499 | I have another question, lets say I go through the hassle of re-installing my netbook's ubuntu server to add full disk encryption. One day I feel someone may come in to seize my server for info and I manage to log in remotely via ssh to reboot the system so it lands on the password prompt, I find out later that it was a false alarm, how do I remotely decrypt my system? | 11:12 |
| daze | but I tend to not use that for short nicknames :) | 11:12 |
| xzcvczx | ShapeShifter499: thats why it pays to stick to just having user stuff encrytped | 11:13 |
| lostinspace | daze, is it possible to share my \home ? | 11:13 |
| daze | lostinspace: yeah | 11:13 |
| daze | as long as it's in it's own partition | 11:13 |
| lix | Good day. Since yesterday's kernel upgrade (13.04) my eth0 (ethernet interface) on my thinkpad doesn't work any longer. - How can I debug that? | 11:14 |
| xzcvczx | daze: can't that be a bit dangerous if you end up with different versions of software that are storing configurations? | 11:14 |
| xzcvczx | lix: does it show up in ifconfig? | 11:14 |
| daze | though you should be a bit careful if using same software on both OSes | 11:14 |
| lix | lix: ifconfig shoes the interface | 11:14 |
| xzcvczx | lix: lspci <-- look for it in there | 11:14 |
| ShapeShifter499 | xzcvczx, sure sure, but maybe they think having something like "tor" or some torrent app installed is suspicious and I still get in trouble | 11:14 |
| xzcvczx | lix: then you need to work out what exactly the problem is? if you set a static ip does it work? | 11:14 |
| lix | xzcvzx: but when I plugin the ethernet cable dhcp does not get an address | 11:14 |
| lostinspace | so I have to make a partition for \home and then other partitions to use them as "\" for the other distros ? | 11:14 |
| ShapeShifter499 | thats why I want a full disk encryption just in case | 11:15 |
| daze | lostinspace: correct | 11:15 |
| lix | xzcvzx: will try static. - standby. thanks | 11:15 |
| xzcvczx | ShapeShifter499: no there is no way to remotely boot it without a second machine with a serial cable | 11:15 |
| xzcvczx | well remotely enter the password | 11:15 |
| daze | lostinspace: you can also try and set different local config paths, so that both OSes would not use the same /home/lostinspace/.config/ for software configs and potentially cause conflicts | 11:15 |
| xzcvczx | ShapeShifter499: but i hope you are not one of those people who use torrents over tor | 11:15 |
| lostinspace | daze, but I have my Ubuntu using the whole hd ad "\". do I have to create a new "\home" parition? | 11:16 |
| lostinspace | daze: thanks! Nice, I will do it | 11:16 |
| xzcvczx | ShapeShifter499: but outside of that, the softwares being installed can't be used to prove anything, but you can install those softwares inside the home directory that is encrypted anyway if you are that paranoid | 11:16 |
| ShapeShifter499 | xzcvczx, no but I do want to switch from big google email to a locally hosted email of my own | 11:16 |
| daze | lostinspace: well, you can mount Ubuntu's '/' and symlink debian's /home to debian's /home | 11:17 |
| daze | but that is not a good practice, I presume | 11:17 |
| xzcvczx | lostinspace: make sure your ubuntu home is not encrypted though | 11:17 |
| ShapeShifter499 | xzcvczx, I'd feel better if the whole drive was encrypted though | 11:17 |
| daze | (I mean debian's /home to ubuntu's /home) | 11:17 |
| xzcvczx | ShapeShifter499: well you are stuck between a rock and a hard place then.... you have 2 mutually exclusive requirements | 11:18 |
| lix | xzcvzx: negative. neither NetworkManager (static IP) nor in the command line... :( | 11:18 |
| lix | xzcvzx: negative. neither NetworkManager (static IP) nor in the command line... :( | 11:18 |
| xzcvczx | ShapeShifter499: i would recommend encrypt home drive | 11:18 |
| xzcvczx | lix: what happens when you try | 11:18 |
| ShapeShifter499 | hmm | 11:18 |
| daze | ShapeShifter499: have a rasberypi connected via usb acting as a keyboard :) | 11:18 |
| lix | xzcvzx: the only interface that works is wlan0 | 11:18 |
| xzcvczx | ShapeShifter499: and if they are that dedicated they can just use the coldboot technique to get around any encryption you have anyway | 11:18 |

| xzcvczx | daze: nah hes just using the linux provided encryption | 11:20 |
| lix | xzcvzx: well the problem is that the network setup in the office is such that I am in a diffrent vlan using wlan than eth. due to security. so I need to use ethernet to access the fileserver... | 11:20 |
| lix | xzcvzx: but that is not the problem here. the thing is that eth0 stoped working since yesterdays kernel upgrade... | 11:20 |
| xzcvczx | lix: that is also irrelevant to me | 11:20 |

| xzcvczx | lix: WHAT HAPPENS WHEN YOU SET A STATIC IP? | 11:21 |
| adamsmeat | test | 11:21 |
| xzcvczx | adamsmeat: no doesn't work | 11:21 |
| adamsmeat | i added myself into www-data group but now console keeps saying im not in sudoers file | 11:22 |
| lix | xzcvzx: mhmm when I set a static IP, ifconfig shows the according config put the tcp packages still dont go through (e.g. no ping) | 11:22 |
| xzcvczx | adamsmeat: how did you add youself? | 11:22 |
| daze | adamsmeat: you replaced your default group, I guess. Use -G, not -g when using usermod | 11:22 |
| xzcvczx | lix: can you ping 8.8.8.8 or preferrably a local ip address? | 11:22 |
| adamsmeat | im looking for the tutorial ive read earlier | 11:22 |
| xzcvczx | lix: as if you don't use dhcp nameservers are not automatically set | 11:22 |
| lix | xzcvzx: no | 11:23 |

| === ShadowNinja|Away is now known as ShadowNinja | ||
| xzcvczx | lix: please don't say correct when the question has an or in it | 11:28 |
| daze | ShapeShifter499: virtualization will be quite slow, depending on what the server is doing. Encrypting only the data partition (or similar) is the best choice, though not as secure. | 11:28 |
| lix | xzcvczx: strangely I get no error. no msg in syslog. just as if there was no cable physically attached | 11:28 |

| ShapeShifter499 | xzcvczx, daze that led me to this | 11:29 |

| xzcvczx | ShapeShifter499: you also get quite a performance hit from FDE | 11:30 |
| daze | but if someone compromises the server, she can alter the dropbear binaries and read your password once you're unsuspecting anything :) | 11:31 |

| xzcvczx | srbh21: why do you need to? | 11:56 |
| === ubuntu__ is now known as kuruba | ||
| bazhang | !notunity | srbh21 | 11:56 |
| ubottu | srbh21: Ubuntu 11.10 and higher use the !Unity desktop environment by default. To use GNOME Shell instead, install the "gnome-shell" package and investigate "gnome-tweak-tool". For GNOME Fallback mode, which is similar to GNOME 2, install "gnome-panel". Both packages will place entries in the Sessions dropdown. | 11:56 |
| bazhang | srbh21, dont remove just install another shell and select that at login | 11:57 |
| srbh21 | thanks a lot room | 11:57 |
| ActionParsnip | srbh21: I'd just install the session you want and leave Unity installed. Lots easier | 11:57 |
| xzcvczx | wb adamsmeat | 11:57 |
| adamsmeat | xzcvczx: im back | 11:58 |
| srbh21 | xzcvczx: i dont like the unity env..moreover i am pretty used to the gnome one and find no reason why should I learn unity | 11:58 |
| xzcvczx | srbh21: yeah, i was mainly making the point ActionParsnip made, than you can isntall something else without removing unity | 11:58 |
| adamsmeat | wb? | 11:58 |
| bazhang | srbh21, so install gnome-shell and add some extensions to it | 11:58 |
| xzcvczx | adamsmeat: welcome back :P | 11:58 |
| adamsmeat | don't know that | 11:58 |
| ActionParsnip | srbh21: install xfce4 and log off and log in to the XFCE session, it wil have the familiar 2 panel feel | 11:58 |

| adamsmeat | btw, thanks. | 11:58 |
| pauser | hi, who tested ubuntu 13.04 , does it have gnome 3.8? I like the gnome-shell classic mode and im not sure if that version has it ?! | 11:59 |

| ActionParsnip | pauser: 3.6, there is a PPA for 3.8 | 11:59 |
| srbh21 | adamsmeat: xzcvczx bazhang thanks guyz got it | 11:59 |
| ubuntuaddicted | whats the easiest way to find large files in my /home/ partition using the command line? | 11:59 |
| xzcvczx | ubuntuaddicted: #define large | 11:59 |
| adamsmeat | I just realized it now. Is it ok if i create another admin account? | 11:59 |
| somsip | ubuntuaddicted: man find. It has a command line param for size IIRC | 11:59 |
| xzcvczx | adamsmeat: yup | 12:00 |
| bazhang | pauser, there's a PPA for it, but best to avoid as it's VERY unstable | 12:00 |
| pauser | ActionParsnip: Aha , thanks . what about the extensions on 3.8 does anything work there ! | 12:00 |
| adamsmeat | great! | 12:00 |
| ubuntuaddicted | somsip, i'm looking for a command suggestion, not someone telling me to read the man pages | 12:00 |
| ActionParsnip | ubuntuaddicted: you can use bash to show all files then pipe to sort to make the largest show at the top | 12:00 |
| snuggl | ubuntuaddicted: the "du" command shows disk usage | 12:00 |
| ActionParsnip | pauser: not used it, sorry | 12:00 |
| snuggl | for files and directories | 12:00 |
| xzcvczx | adamsmeat: be very careful when editing /etc/group manually though | 12:00 |
| ubuntuaddicted | xzcvczx, maybe anything over 100mb | 12:00 |
| snuggl | ubuntuaddicted: add the correct flags etc and it will do what you want | 12:00 |
| snuggl | ubuntuaddicted: start with "du -hs" in your home dir | 12:00 |
| xzcvczx | ubuntuaddicted: then yeah, use the find with size options | 12:01 |
| ActionParsnip | ubuntuaddicted: you can use: du -sh /path/to/folder to see the sizes of the folders in a directory | 12:01 |
| adamsmeat | I will. The only thing i missed from windows is navicat. | 12:01 |
| adamsmeat | but im comfortable with raring. | 12:01 |
| xzcvczx | navicat? | 12:01 |
| adamsmeat | java app for databases | 12:01 |
| somsip | ubuntuaddicted: oh - you want someone to do it all for you? | 12:01 |
| adamsmeat | read, write, etc. | 12:01 |
| xzcvczx | adamsmeat: what sort of dbs? | 12:01 |
| ActionParsnip | why not use SQL... | 12:01 |
| snuggl | adamsmeat: navicat is available for linux | 12:02 |
| adamsmeat | plenty. mysql, pgres, etc. | 12:02 |
| adamsmeat | it runs on wine | 12:02 |
| adamsmeat | it feels slow on me | 12:02 |
| xzcvczx | adamsmeat: there will most likely be an equivalent app to be found | 12:02 |
| histo | ubuntuaddicted: find /home/username -size +100M | 12:02 |
| ubuntuaddicted | somsip, you're sarcastic nature is not needed in a help forum. this help forum isn't here for people to say, go read the man pages IMO. i'll get help from the other people. bye | 12:02 |
| adamsmeat | so just using mysql workbench now as Im working with mysql atm | 12:02 |
| ubuntuaddicted | histo, thanks, will try | 12:02 |
| snuggl | adamsmeat: they run a java app through wine..? | 12:03 |
| snuggl | wth | 12:03 |
| somsip | ubuntuaddicted: not sarcastic, Accurate. Anyway, you got what you want. | 12:03 |
| adamsmeat | not really. I actually meant a java-like app just to differentiate from a web app | 12:03 |
| histo | ubuntuaddicted: find is very powerfull and worth learning | 12:03 |
| adamsmeat | so more like windows native application. | 12:04 |
| snuggl | adamsmeat: ah | 12:04 |
| ubuntuaddicted | histo, i use find with the -name a lot just haven't used the -size syntax much. thanks | 12:04 |
| adamsmeat | i'll continue with my apache journey now. I still can't leave php, how i wish someone will pay me to focus on nodejs | 12:05 |
| somsip | ubuntuaddicted: man is really helpful. Seriously. / allows you to search. /size would have given you your answer | 12:05 |
| ubuntuaddicted | somsip, thanks | 12:05 |
| somsip | ubuntuaddicted: np | 12:06 |

| === lomo7_ is now known as lomo7 | ||

| auronandace | DaVinciIT: just install ubuntu normally and when you get to partitioning remember to format the partition with fedora on it | 12:51 |
| ntzrmtthihu777 | DaVinciIT: what he said. easy as pie. | 12:51 |
| Myrtti | DaVinciIT: do you have /home on a separate partition? did you want to keep the personal files? | 12:52 |
| betrayd | DaVinciIT: is Fedora on an lvm | 12:52 |
| DaVinciIT | I've partions with Fedora and partition with Windows7 | 12:52 |

| betrayd | Hanmac: wait a sec, how do you start your X, normal boot automatically brings up X, login screen? or autologin? | 12:57 |
| betrayd | Hanmac: or via startx | 12:57 |
| asteriskATmarmuD | I got 2 fresh ubuntu 12.04 servers. On one of them I can't login via ssh using putty. after entering my username and the correct password I get "access denied". using ssh to connect from the other ubuntu server it works. hint: when it works it says "user@server's password:". when it doesn't it only shows "password:" without mentioning the user who is trying to log in | 12:58 |
| betrayd | Hanmac: IIRC I had to ditch the login DM permanently and just used startx (as a workaround) | 12:58 |
| Hanmac | betrayd: normal boot (i think) ... the lighdm does start the X ... when i go back to the graphical i get the login (imo its okay ... BUT all programs are closed/crashed) | 12:59 |
| auronandace | asteriskATmarmuD: are you trying to login to the servers from a windows box? | 12:59 |
| asteriskATmarmuD | auronandace: yes | 12:59 |
| ajith | I did fresh installation ubuntu 10.04 so as i update i am getting ba signature error and OS not updating | 12:59 |
| auronandace | asteriskATmarmuD: ok, i was just wondering why you were using putty instead of plain ssh, nevermind | 13:00 |
| ajith | but before previously 10.04 installed ones are getting updates and working fine why can i knwo the resaon | 13:00 |
| ajith | and able to install kde sucessfully in old ones but not in newly installed | 13:00 |
| auronandace | ajith: 10.04 desktop support ends on the 9th | 13:01 |
| ajith | okay do we get updates for older ones 10.04 | 13:01 |
| ajith | and newly installed ones will get updates or not | 13:02 |
| auronandace | ajith: what do you mean? | 13:02 |

| jrib | ajith: as auronandace said, 10.04 has support for a few more days only on the desktop (on the server, it has 2 more year of support). You should upgrade immediately if you are using desktop packages | 13:05 |
| betrayd | ubu possible http://is.gd/JpPkHH | 13:05 |

| ajith | okay | 13:06 |
| betrayd | Zync: in windows right now? | 13:06 |

| BluesKaj | ubu , looks difficult for 11yr old graphics , my only suggestion is to check the nvidia driver site | 13:12 |
| ubu | betrayd, installing what driver? i already am using the proper nvidia driver, 96.43 | 13:12 |

| betrayd | when it comes to usb sticks, unplug anything else USB | 13:14 |
| Zync | betrayd: no success, i'll try with this udb flash drive on another pc and see if it works | 13:15 |
| betrayd | ok, zync maybe its reached its RW limit... | 13:15 |

| lousygarua | How can I run `screen` without its splash screen appearing on startup (making me hit ENTER to start) | 13:25 |
| uberamd | Guest54801: Yes, though ActionParsnip seems to have an idea? | 13:25 |
| Guest54801 | any idea what i can do | 13:26 |
| jrib | lousygarua: « man screen » /startup_message<enter> | 13:27 |
| uberamd | Guest54801: personally, when I have a problem like that I just remove the file from the source list using sudo gedit /etc/apt/sources.list | 13:27 |
| uberamd | Guest54801: find that source, remove the line | 13:27 |
| Zync | betrayd: is there any tool i can use to fix this on the other pc that recognizes it? | 13:27 |
| Guest54801 | ok thanks uberamd | 13:27 |
| uberamd | Guest54801: or just put a # at the beginning of the line to comment it out | 13:27 |
| lousygarua | jrib, oh thanks! and I put it in some ~/.screenrc or something? | 13:28 |
| Zync | betrayd: the problem is my pc not the pen drive, but other pen drives work fine it's only this one thats acting up with my pc | 13:28 |
| jrib | lousygarua: exactly | 13:28 |
| lousygarua | jrib ok thanks | 13:28 |
| Guest54801 | i have opened the list so what am i to remove | 13:28 |
| Guest54801 | which line | 13:28 |
| jrib | lousygarua: also, be sure to check out tmux if you aren't aware of it (it's a nice alternative to screen) | 13:28 |
| uberamd | Guest54801: find the line that matches that error message you gave me | 13:28 |
| betrayd | Zync: i'd try a boot with the stick already plugged in | 13:28 |
| lousygarua | jrib, I will | 13:28 |
| betrayd | Zync: change your bootup sequence if you have to | 13:29 |

| PurpleHaze | hey | 13:30 |
| Screwba | I have a question about bootup scripts, can I ask here or is there another channel for said support? | 13:31 |
| Zync | betrayd: it is recognizing it as a USB DISK idk why, maybe that's relevant? | 13:31 |
| jrib | Screwba: start here | 13:31 |
| PurpleHaze | get you ass out of here Screwba | 13:31 |
| jrib | PurpleHaze: please be nice... | 13:31 |
| wendico | hello, on install, my i choose to install the /home on a NTFS partition? | 13:31 |
| === PurpleHaze is now known as PussyDestroyer69 | ||
| ActionParsnip | wendico: no it is not suitable. | 13:31 |
| jrib | wendico: you should not do that, no | 13:31 |
| betrayd | Zync: as another drive? | 13:31 |
| PussyDestroyer69 | ok ok | 13:31 |
| ActionParsnip | wendico: you can have a small /home partition, then symlink folders (or even mount the NTFS) to a folder inside $HOME | 13:32 |

| Screwba | jrib: thanks...so I have a 'configuration' script which needs to run on bootup but since the LSBinit runs in parallel, the script does not complete and I get my Desktop prior to it finishing | 13:32 |
| PussyDestroyer69 | theres an ass load of people in this chat room | 13:32 |
| ActionParsnip | wendico: but NTFS will cause a tonne of iisues if it is the /home partition | 13:32 |
| lix | imapsync has been removed from the package list due to the license. - is there an alternative? | 13:32 |
| Guest54801 | they are two on the list | 13:32 |
| Screwba | but this script only runs once... | 13:32 |
| Guest54801 | so should i delete the two | 13:32 |
| jrib | Screwba: what kind of configuration script? You're creating an upstart script? | 13:32 |
| Zync | it says USB DISK, when i plug other usb drivers it never considers it as a disk | 13:32 |
| Screwba | first bootup...it is like a kickstart/jumpstart script | 13:32 |
| uberamd | Guest54801: comment them out, add a # at the beginning of the line | 13:32 |
| petrs | Hi everybody. Can someone please help me with disabling privacy extensions of IPv6? | 13:32 |

| Screwba | it renames the computer, configures some software and then joins a Microsoft AD Domain (I know...but hey) | 13:33 |
| betrayd | Zync: more than likely its ready, can you see if u can boot from it on your other hardware (lappy) | 13:33 |
| lix | !imapsync | 13:33 |
| Guest54801 | ok av added # at the beginning of both lines...should i save now | 13:34 |
| jrib | Screwba: there's probably some better way to accomplish what you are doing (but I don't know it) | 13:34 |
| PussyDestroyer69 | I have a question guys | 13:34 |
| uberamd | Guest54801: Save, then run the sudo apt-get update again | 13:34 |
| Screwba | jrib: the script works perfectly for EL but they are not moved to LSBinit yet | 13:34 |
| wendico | ok, thank you for the advice | 13:34 |

| SuperBawlz | You can always tell the people that never get laid, they go by names like "PussyDestroyer", "AssMaster", and "KingOfCunt" | 13:37 |

| SuperBawlz | grow up people. | 13:37 |
| Screwba | jrib: I have been fighting with this for quite some time and I just can't figure it out. Maybe if I disable dependency booting in LSBinit, it would work. I am almost sure it would work because the parallelism booting of LSB is what I believe is causing the issue | 13:37 |

| du7ed | i ran aptitude install phpmyadmin, and when i go to http://localhost/phpmyadmin it gives errors about the phpmyadmin database not existing. how do i "init" phpmyadmin to create its databases and stuff | 14:05 |
| lix | du7ed: did you install mysql-server? | 14:07 |
| nullby7e | ipp is not a cups | 14:07 |
| du7ed | lix: yes of course. | 14:08 |
| lix | du7ed: and its running? | 14:08 |
| du7ed | lix: indeed | 14:08 |
| ezra-s | nullby7e, yes it is | 14:08 |
| lix | du7ed: good. try http://127.0.0.1/phpmyadmin | 14:08 |
| nullby7e | ezra-s: maybe you are right, i am checking something | 14:08 |
| lix | du7ed: or dow you see the phpmyadmin login site on localhost/phpomyadmin? | 14:08 |
| du7ed | lix: that would be the page i was at that described the phpmyadmin database not existing | 14:08 |
| lix | du7ed: ok, so you see the phpmyadmin login page? | 14:09 |
| ezra-s | nullby7e, check it out yourself -> sudo lsof -i tcp:631 | 14:09 |
| du7ed | lix: i am indeed logged into phpmyadmin! | 14:09 |
| ezra-s | or cat /etc/services | grep ipp | 14:09 |
| du7ed | lix: it doesn't check the phpmyadmin database until after you're logged in ;) | 14:09 |
| nullby7e | ezra-s: yes:) but then why when i remove cups from package everything is clean and shutt down and internet pripting protocol i s still loaded | 14:10 |
| lix | du7ed: ack. - but phpmyadmin doesnt really need a database itself. at least not to my knowledge | 14:10 |
| vitimiti | o/ | 14:10 |
| somsip | lix: older versions do have one. Not sure about the repo version | 14:11 |
| ezra-s | nullby7e, then you do the lsof command I told you to see what's running that port | 14:11 |
| lix | somsip: possibly... tks | 14:11 |
| nullby7e | i want to stop cups ezra-s | 14:11 |
| du7ed | lix: all phpmyadmin have a phpmyadmin database that gets put on the sql server. i'm running the latest version. | 14:11 |
| du7ed | lix: normally it opens up a little screen where you put in your db details when you install phpmyadmin | 14:11 |
| lix | du7ed: I never installed phpmyadmin by aptitude. I just download the tarball from the website and configure the webserver accordingly myself... | 14:11 |
| du7ed | lix: it didn't do it this time. | 14:11 |
| ezra-s | nullby7e, you just said you have removed it and shut down | 14:12 |
| PussyDestroyer69 | hello motha fuckas | 14:12 |
| lix | du7ed: mhmm. I see. hangon | 14:12 |
| nullby7e | ezra-s: yes but after then 631/tcp open ipp is still found | 14:12 |
| nullby7e | ?! | 14:12 |
| lix | du7ed: maybe check here: http://wiki.phpmyadmin.net/pma/Configuration_storage | 14:14 |
| du7ed | lix: i dont think so. | 14:14 |
| ezra-s | nullby7e, alright, type this in terminal: sudo lsof -i tcp:631 | awk '{print $2}' | grep -vi pid | xargs sudo kill -9 | 14:14 |
| du7ed | the problem is with aptitude. | 14:14 |
| du7ed | if i run aptitude on a brand new system i will get a screen asking for my db details and it will auto create the phpmyadmin database | 14:14 |
| du7ed | if i aptitude remove phpmyadmin and then aptitude install phpmyadmin on this system, it will not give me the screen i need to auto install the phpmyadmin database | 14:15 |
| MonkeyDust | !aptitude | 14:15 |
| ubottu | aptitude is another terminal-based front-end to APT. You may encounter problems on multiarch installs (11.10 and 12.04) as aptitude cannot handle the same package with different architectures being installed at the same time. See http://pad.lv/831768 for more information. | 14:15 |
| du7ed | why is that? | 14:15 |
| du7ed | it's not an issue with phpmyadmin | 14:15 |
| nullby7e | ezra-s: but after reboot it will still loaded? | 14:15 |
| du7ed | MonkeyDust: thanks. is it ok to just try using apt-get ? | 14:15 |
| MonkeyDust | du7ed try apt-get instead | 14:15 |
| du7ed | MonkeyDust: what would teh proper procedure be for completely removing something with aptitude and then installing with apt | 14:15 |
| ezra-s | nullby7e, if you still have cups installed probably | 14:15 |
| ezra-s | nullby7e, but you can disable it from loading at boot | 14:16 |
| MonkeyDust | du7ed use apt-get purge and then apt-get autoremove, to remove | 14:16 |
| natural | hi, i am having trouble setting up my scanner, it is a workforce 635, epson. any help? i have not set up the printer yet, since i was not sure if i needed to set up the scanner first. the installation disk i have is only for windows. windows 7 of course i am using ubuntu 13.04 | 14:17 |
| darthanubis | natural, printer first | 14:18 |
| natural | ok darthanubis i will contact after it is finished, thank you | 14:18 |
| darthanubis | natural, off to work..yw | 14:18 |
| A1Recon | Is it better to create another swap partition | 14:19 |
| A1Recon | ?? | 14:19 |
| darthanubis | A1Recon, no | 14:19 |
| A1Recon | As in a dedicated swap partition | 14:19 |
| A1Recon | ?? | 14:19 |
| MonkeyDust | A1Recon start from the beginning, what do you want to achieve? | 14:19 |
| du7ed | thanks MonkeyDust | 14:19 |
| du7ed | worked | 14:19 |
| natural | ok darthanubis i see you sare out of time, thank you, printer is set up | 14:19 |
| MonkeyDust | du7ed yw | 14:19 |
| nullby7e | ezra-s: thansk | 14:19 |
| darthanubis | natural, sorry | 14:20 |
| natural | oh, hold up, i got it, i will just scan the documents to usb drive than put them in the cpomputer like that, but it is better if i can just scan them from compuiter... anyone have any ideas? setting up my scanner with simplescan, or somehting else? | 14:20 |
| A1Recon | MonkeyDust I want to dual boot. And I am following this article on it http://lifehacker.com/5403100/dual+boot-windows-7-and-ubuntu-in-perfect-harmony but somewhere in there it says "Experienced Linux geeks might be wondering where the swap space is going—but don't worry, we'll create one, just not in its own partition.". So I am confused a bit?? | 14:20 |
| natural | its ok darthanubis no worries, in last resort, i will use the hard coppies | 14:20 |
| MonkeyDust | A1Recon you don't really need swap, unless you plan to hibernate/suspend the computer alot | 14:22 |
| natural | a1, i think it will install ubuntu in one partition then use the spoace in that single partition to make an 'inside' partition for swap space... | 14:22 |
| natural | A1Recon, look above | 14:22 |
| ezra-s | A1Recon, swap under Linux usually has a partition just for it, but nowadays unless you have low physical mem you don't really need swap, or too big of a swap partition | 14:22 |
| A1Recon | Thanks!! | 14:22 |
| ezra-s | A1Recon, in the article it seems to imply swap won't go in a partition for itself but in a file, which is less recommended, but equally valid | 14:23 |
| natural | so you wont have that pesky x-sized gb partition floating around in your hd/ssd, now it should be only 2 partitions, and maybe 3 if windows is still lost in the past on how to properly manage a hdd/ssd | 14:23 |
| ntzrmtthihu777 | A1Recon: unless you want to hybernate. | 14:23 |

| natural | yeah, i dont recomend hibernate on ssd at all, but windows said it figured it out, i dont know about that | 14:23 |
| natural | so anyone know how to set up this scanner on ubuntu 13.04? | 14:24 |
| ntzrmtthihu777 | A1Recon: yeah, I never hybe, but if you do you need at least as much swap as ram | 14:24 |
| natural | dude A1Recon that article is from 2009, comon man, thats old, get the one for 13.04 or at least 12.04/10 | 14:24 |
| MonkeyDust | natural dirty workouround, I use for my old CanScan: launch simple scan, start scanning - does nothing... close the window, re-plug the usb scanner => ok, ready to scan | 14:26 |

| Dr_Fets | better in what way? | 14:28 |
| riddrib | how can download youtube video in firefox ubuntu? | 14:28 |
| anew | weird because the vps with the opteron has less cpu max outs than the xeon | 14:28 |
| MonkeyDust | riddrib youtube-dl, in a terminal | 14:28 |
| BluesKaj | then google for benchmark reviews this is ubuntu support not cpu , anew | 14:28 |
| th0r | riddrib: or install VideoDownloadHelper, it is a ff plugin | 14:28 |
| ntzrmtthihu777 | rrittenhouse: youtube-dl is da junk, listen | 14:28 |
| ActionParsnip | riddrib: use addons for that, they can be easily installed | 14:29 |

| Inoki | Hi guys, anybody who owns an ASUS n71 laptop? We can't get past a black screen. | 14:42 |
| ActionParsnip | th0r: the same instance....not sure if you can duplicate app windows like that | 14:43 |
| ActionParsnip | Inoki: is it on an installed OS, or during install | 14:43 |
| ntzrmtthihu777 | Inoki: boot it, at the grub screen edit the boot, and set it to nomodeset nosplash, get more info. | 14:43 |

| th0r | ActionParsnip: agreed. wasn't sure what exactly he wanted. | 14:43 |
| Inoki | Thing is, we tried a liveUSB with 13.04 x64, but all my friend receives is a black screen with "Boot error". | 14:44 |
| ActionParsnip | ebernhardson: have a look in ccsm | 14:44 |
| ntzrmtthihu777 | ebernhardson: get rid of unity :P | 14:44 |

| ActionParsnip | LinuxNewbish: ok, use the web to see what that means | 14:44 |
| Inoki | ActionParsnip: nope, it was downloaded directly from Ubuntu website using Chrome on Windows 7. | 14:44 |
| moultonl | betrayd, but the person who grabbed that box still needs to do whatever it is they're trying to do, so a vnc-ish option is't going to work. I could do ssh -Y me@otherbox geany, but that's going to fire up a new instance, and I need the one that's currently running | 14:44 |
| ebernhardson | ActionParsnip: downloading that now, will look into it. Thanks | 14:45 |

| riddrib | I can't find youtube-dl in firefox? | 14:45 |

| ActionParsnip | riddrib: web browse to the page with the file, copy the adress bar then use that http address as an option to youtube-dl | 14:46 |
| ntzrmtthihu777 | riddrib: sudo apt-get install youtube-dl | 14:46 |

| * BluesKaj shrugs , never had any problem with youtube-dl , just have to check the url and copy and paste it , actully even wget will work if you can isolate the right url | 14:56 | |

| Screwba | they still use sysv init | 14:56 |
| === matt_ is now known as Guest66705 | ||
| ntzrmtthihu777 | riddrib: you can use your ytube acount to create a playlist of the vids you want, then use youtube-dl on the playlist url and it will get them all. | 14:57 |
| genii-around | Screwba: Most of Ubuntu is now using Upstart | 14:57 |
| betrayd | Screwba: not in their latest RH maybe | 14:57 |
| betrayd | or fedora | 14:57 |
| betrayd | read it on Distrowatch | 14:57 |
| ActionParsnip | riddrib: did the link give you something useful? | 14:58 |
| Screwba | 6.4 is still sysv...I have CentOS and Red Hat running here | 14:58 |
| riddrib | yes | 14:59 |
| Screwba | Upstart is pretty much the same as LSBinit though...it is a parallel boot sequence | 14:59 |

| ActionParsnip | Screwba: so, how is this Ubuntu related? | 15:00 |
| Inoki | ActionParsnip: we checked, file seems to be ok. | 15:00 |
| ActionParsnip | Inoki: good, please MD5 test befoe using the ISOs you download, in future | 15:00 |
| Inoki | ActionParsnip: any ideas what could cause the "Boot error" except that? | 15:01 |
| ActionParsnip | Inoki: is the right device set to boot in BIOS? | 15:01 |
| Screwba | ActionParsnip: totally related...I want to now configure Ubuntu to properly run a similar script | 15:02 |
| Inoki | ActionParsnip: yep, checked all that. | 15:02 |
| Screwba | ActionParsnip: once I get Ubuntu working, then I will move to Debian, then Mint | 15:02 |
| raijin | lol | 15:02 |
| raijin | that should go debian->ubuntu->mint | 15:02 |
| raijin | iirc | 15:02 |
| * raijin shrugs | 15:03 | |
| Screwba | raijin: I agree but the Debian folks have been as helpful as here, the Ubuntu folks | 15:03 |
| ActionParsnip | Screwba: you could have a check in your script to make sure certain processes are started | 15:03 |

| ActionParsnip | Screwba: i understand the mechanics, just not had to mess with it. If I am adding boot scripts etc I use /etc/rc.local as everything will be started by the time that script is executed | 15:04 |
| ActionParsnip | Screwba: add it above the exit 0 line, you may need to specify absolute paths to binaries | 15:05 |

| ActionParsnip | aDeOleo: use the service command, you can see the service names there | 15:07 |
| Screwba | ActionParsnip: not following...add an & to what? | 15:08 |
| Screwba | the rc.local where my script is called? | 15:09 |
| ActionParsnip | Screwba: the command, so that it backgrounds | 15:10 |
| ActionParsnip | Screwba: so if the command is: /usr/bin/command change it to: /usr/bin/command & | 15:10 |
| ActionParsnip | Screwba: then the process will background and the boot can continue | 15:10 |
| ActionParsnip | Screwba: do you not use background processes? | 15:11 |

| Mikeasaurus | is there a way to update my soundcard driver? I just installed ubunutu and my speakers sound horrible | 15:12 |
| sudobash | Mikeasaurus sudo apt-get update && sudo apt-get upgrade | 15:13 |
| sudobash | should update everything on the system, if there is an update for pulseaudio it will grab it | 15:13 |
| Mikeasaurus | I did that | 15:13 |
| Peanut | ActionParsnip: It's not a storage device but a USB serial port as far as I know, so no 'safely remove' option that I saw. | 15:13 |
| sudobash | find your sound card in the command: lspci and paste the HWID | 15:14 |
| Screwba | I understand background process but I would really like my script to 'pause' the boot process until it completes | 15:14 |
| Screwba | actionparsnip ^^^ | 15:14 |
| ActionParsnip | Screwba: then you will need a check to see if the process has stopped and hold the boot until | 15:14 |

| skorasaurus | but the text that appears on the screen is garbled when I boot. | 15:15 |

| dilyarasi | i have a question | 17:30 |
| Atlantic777 | Hi! I have a computer with 12.04 installed and I was told that the computer randomly freezes and sometimes it can't recover from sleep/suspend. I did upgrade, it seems that upgrade fiexed these problems but I would like to check what was wrong. | 17:30 |
| ntzrmtthihu777 | !ask | dilyarasi | 17:30 |
| ubottu | dilyarasi: Please don't ask to ask a question, simply ask the question (all on ONE line and in the channel, so that others can read and follow it easily). If anyone knows the answer they will most likely reply. :-) See also !patience | 17:30 |
| Atlantic777 | What logs should I check? | 17:30 |
| __Trullo | I need a fast file indexer for ubuntu, any suggestions? | 17:30 |
| ntzrmtthihu777 | Atlantic777: does your ram exceed your swap? | 17:30 |
| === __Trullo is now known as _Trullo | ||
| devtekbeta | is there a list of supported wifi cards for ubuntu? | 17:30 |
| devtekbeta | i cant find it in the wiki/docs | 17:30 |
| ntzrmtthihu777 | __Trullo: locate is nice :D | 17:30 |
| Noggo | it is possible with ubuntu 13.04 to hide the icon for mounted drives (usb stick/ usb hdd) in the unity launcher | 17:30 |
| _Trullo | ntzrmtthihu777, I need something for the desktop | 17:31 |
| Bray90820 | theadmin: just at the bottom right? | 17:31 |
| frankbro_ | wilee-nilee: it seems like it messed up my graphic card. I managed to boot from recovery mode but now it won't detect my second screen. lspci does indicate the right card tho. | 17:31 |
| chutney | devtekbeta, the support cards would be the supported card for all distros of linux using your kernel version | 17:31 |
| Atlantic777 | ntzrmtthihu777: no, I don't think so. | 17:31 |
| theadmin | Bray90820: Yes, on a new line at the bottom. | 17:31 |
| Bray90820 | ok | 17:31 |
| Bray90820 | thank you | 17:31 |
| jhutchins_wk | theadmin: What it does is pass sar the -A from /etc/cron.d/sysstat | 17:32 |
| theadmin | Bray90820: And make sure you have "cifs-utils" installed. | 17:32 |
| jhutchins_wk | theadmin: But yeah, thanks! | 17:32 |
| Bray90820 | ok | 17:32 |
| toti55 | Ciao a tutti | 17:32 |

| dilyarasi | i will install ubuntu. i have win 7 os an have two partition c and d . c is main win 7. i will install ubuntu to d drive and have some files on d. will ubuntu delete my files on d drive? ntzrmtthihu777 | 17:33 |
| devtekbeta | chutney i do not understand "the supported card for all distros using kernel version" there are many different cards | 17:33 |
| anew | when i run top, there is a line 'Cpu(s)' what is the difference betwene this and and down where the pid's are and it says %CPU ? | 17:33 |
| pagios | http://www.amazon.com/KWorld-Expert-Video-Maker-KW-USB2800D/dp/B000234SMQ can anyone tell me if this device outputs audio on the usb or only on rthe audio_out? trying to connect to ubuntu | 17:33 |
| devtekbeta | oh you mean i look up the kernel version and see what cards that supports | 17:33 |
| chutney | yes | 17:33 |
| wilee-nilee | dilyarasi, Ubuntu does not use NTFS partitions, and you most likely have at least 3 primaries, maybe a 4th firmware look at the HD from ubuntu. | 17:34 |
| subsilico | Atlantic777: did you do an apt-get upgrade or a do-release-upgrade? | 17:34 |
| wilee-nilee | ntfs for instals anyway. | 17:34 |
| dilyarasi | you mean i need 4 partition for ubuntu install? | 17:35 |
| Bray90820 | theadmin: how would i find my server name i am finding 2 different things and i don't know which one is correct | 17:35 |
| wilee-nilee | dilyarasi, No, that windows has 4 already in a standard msdos setup 4 primaries is the limit, or 3 and a exteneded for logicals. | 17:36 |
| Bray90820 | theadmin: nevermind | 17:36 |
| devtekbeta | ok i want to use ubuntuStudio latest version, it says Ubuntu Kernel 3.5.0-23.35. where can i find a list of wifi cards this supports? i searched google but it dosnt show anything useful | 17:36 |
| wilee-nilee | many oem installs have 4 primary partitions, two hidden in windows. dilyarasi | 17:37 |
| chutney | devtekbeta, what have you got already for a wifi card? | 17:37 |
| devtekbeta | i havnt looked yet. but it is a msi u135 netbook with win7 starter working on it | 17:37 |
| dilyarasi | ok thnx wilee-nilee | 17:37 |
| uberamd | devtekbeta: I'd figure out which card you have first | 17:38 |
| wilee-nilee | dilyarasi, Cool, just be sure to be backed up prepared for any contingency. ;) | 17:38 |
| frankbro_ | Really weird. Now I installed ssh. Killed x, got sent to I think its lighted, logged back in, as soon as Im logged in, the display becomes trash. | 17:39 |
| Atlantic777 | subsilico: yes, I did upgrade. | 17:39 |
| subsilico | cool | 17:39 |
| subsilico | i am having the same issue with stability with 12.10 and i am currently running apt-get upgrade so i hope it fixes it. | 17:40 |
| jmnoz | running 13.04: oneconf-service and apt-check is consuming a lot of CPU, what's happening? | 17:40 |
| wilee-nilee | frankbro_ You can go to users and make a second account and see if its the same if you login to it, just an option. | 17:40 |
| wilee-nilee | easily made and removed | 17:40 |
| Atlantic777 | subsilico: actually, this fixed it https://wiki.ubuntu.com/Kernel/LTSEnablementStack | 17:40 |
| Bray90820 | on the menu bar there are usually menus such as places but there not there fo rme | 17:41 |
| Bray90820 | for me | 17:41 |
| subsilico | Atlantic777: interesting | 17:41 |
| subsilico | so you had to run that apt-get command? | 17:43 |
| chutney | devtekbeta, according to msi'2 web site, your m135 netbook can come with several different wifi cards, but if you have windows installed and running you can find out which one in device manager | 17:43 |
| Atlantic777 | subsilico: yes, it leaves lts system but installs X stack from newer release which can fix lots of problems with fresh hardware. | 17:44 |
| subsilico | hmm, my hardware is old | 17:45 |

| nimby | Hi! I upgraded from 12.04 to 13.04 and now I can't boot the system, it just boots to a black screen with a _ blinking away. | 17:46 |
| Bray90820_ | all it says is ubuntu desktop | 17:46 |
| looop | nimby, its very risky to update like this | 17:47 |
| looop | i never done it, only clean installs | 17:47 |
| nimby | it is a clean install | 17:47 |
| looop | ohh | 17:48 |
| nimby | I meant that 12.04 has worked fine | 17:48 |
| devtekbeta | in the device manager it says i have: 802.11bgn 1t1r mini card wireless adapter | 17:48 |
| zacarias | Hi. I've been trying to load live cd's with 13.04 on my PowerPC mac. I've tried with Kubuntu and Lubuntu. However, after the splash screen, booting freezes on a black screen with some messages, where the last one states "Stoping mount network filesystems". I currently have Kubuntu 12.04 installed on the machine, and that works well. Any help? | 17:48 |
| wilee-nilee | nimby, How is a upgrade a clean install? | 17:48 |
| nimby | i deleted all partitions | 17:48 |
| nimby | and then installed it | 17:48 |
| theadmin | zacarias: Ubuntu has special images for macs, are you using them? | 17:48 |
| jaequery | i currently have setup w/ it's own /boot partition set to 65M. unfortunately it's too small for me to install some other apps that creates additional kernels such as gotroot hardened kernels. can i just tar up the /boot folder, unmount it from partition, and then extract it so that /boot now belongs to the root partition? | 17:48 |
| wilee-nilee | nimby, You had a seperate home? | 17:48 |
| wilee-nilee | !nomodeset | nimby | 17:49 |
| nimby | nothing | 17:49 |
| mike_ | is there anyone else in here | 17:49 |
| ubottu | nimby: 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 | 17:49 |
| === mike_ is now known as Guest70554 | ||
| zacarias | theadmin: yes, I'm using live cd's for PowerPc mac's | 17:49 |
| nimby | ok | 17:49 |
| theadmin | zacarias: Hm okaysies, never mind then. For all I know, staying with LTS usually works better. | 17:50 |
| n-iCe | hello, question, how can I put linux in a usb to boot with it, this machine has windows. | 17:50 |
| wilee-nilee | nimby, If you have loaded graphic drivers in the past if you get in go to additional drivers after fully updating | 17:50 |
| chutney | devtekbeta, that's not very descriptive. it might be a prorietary wifi card. msi likes making those. I suppose your best option is running the livecd and seeing if it detects your card | 17:50 |
| lucido | unetbootin | 17:50 |
| theadmin | n-iCe: Yes, indeed: http://www.ubuntu.com/download/desktop/create-a-usb-stick-on-windows | 17:50 |
| devtekbeta | ok chutney. can i make a liveusb of ubuntustudio to test it? | 17:51 |
| nimby | k | 17:51 |
| devtekbeta | i have no cd drive | 17:51 |
| n-iCe | awesome theadmin thanks | 17:51 |
| chutney | you can boot a liveiso from usb stick, yes | 17:51 |
| nimby | I'll look in to the moodset thing now, chat won | 17:51 |
| devtekbeta | cool illl try that thanks | 17:51 |
| nimby | 't be open, thanks | 17:51 |
| jmnoz | has anyone got a clue as to why I consistently keep seeing "oneconf-service" and "apt-check" using a lot of CPU on 13.04? | 17:51 |
| zacarias | theadmin: Yes, but it's a pitty not to be able to upgrade. I'm using Kubuntu 13.04 on a Macbook, and that works fine. It's maybe a PPC issue, or a driver one | 17:52 |
| jmnoz | I realize those process has to do with the update manager somehow but how can I figure out what the processes are doing? | 17:52 |
| theadmin | zacarias: That's what I'm saying. If there are issues they're likely going to be fixed in the next LTS (14.04) | 17:52 |

| adamk_ | Alisthegreatest, Eclipse is not for javascript. | 18:08 |
| moppers | eclipse has plugins for many languages | 18:08 |
| adamk_ | Alisthegreatest, It's written in java (mostly), supports java natively, and supports many other programming languages. | 18:08 |
| moppers | never understood the purpose of ide actually | 18:09 |
| Alisthegreatest | oh , so would i have to add a c/c++ plugins to it? | 18:09 |
| uberamd | moppers: intellisense style code completion | 18:09 |
| jmnoz | what is the package update-notifier-common and why does flashplayer-installer and mcorefonts require it? | 18:09 |
| moppers | all i want is an integrated debugger, i guess that's useful | 18:09 |
| jmnoz | I can not understand how those packages are related | 18:10 |
| uberamd | moppers: yeah. code completion in IDEs is awesome, so is database aware IDEs that know your table structures | 18:10 |
| dogface | moppers: program in q4 | 18:10 |
| lotuspsychje | guys lets stick to ubuntu troubleshooting | 18:10 |
| moppers | i've never used code completion, i find it annoying: it's like autocorrect on a phone, but i guess it's a personal thing | 18:10 |

| lotuspsychje | Alisthegreatest: please discuss ubuntu troubles only in this chat mate | 18:13 |
| jmnoz | trism: it's weird though. Removing that package shouldn't trigger the removal of flash and mcorefonts. But I guess it's the way apt is designed. | 18:13 |
| Alisthegreatest | sorry | 18:13 |
| dogface | Alisthegreatest: qt works in code blocks. | 18:13 |

| anew | i'm trying to quit vim :q | 18:45 |
| anew | this doesn work? | 18:45 |
| johnjohn101 | sai_kumar, what time does each say? | 18:45 |
| elkng | Ctrl-c :q! | 18:45 |
| th0r | sai_kumar: windows assumes the hardware clock is set to local time, linux usually assumes Universal time | 18:46 |

| anew | nano i like | 18:48 |
| jrib | anew: cool, use nano | 18:48 |

| johnjohn101 | sai_kumar: I do ntp on all my machines | 18:50 |

| dilyarasi | i dont have a purpose wilee-nilee just wan to use ubuntu | 18:50 |
| wilee-nilee | dilyarasi, Little or no support is all, and the developer themselves said not for logterm use, generally it can be harder to fix and can be problematic. | 18:51 |

| sai_kumar | Thor, Do i need to configure (hwclock) every time i boot into Ubuntu ? | 18:53 |
| wilee-nilee | dilyarasi, If, you are not sure you want it use a usb load with persistence, and if you like dualboot it. | 18:53 |
| th0r | sai_kumar: shouldn't...just set the hwclock in linux to keep local time and it should take care of the issue. | 18:53 |

| dilyarasi | thx wilee-nilee i will give a try with cd boot | 18:54 |

| ntzrmtthihu777 | wolfgang8741: get rid of compiz, lol. what in it do you really need? | 19:02 |
| adamk_ | wolfgang8741, ssh in from another machine, and then 'export DISPLAY=:0; gdb compiz' in that ssh session. | 19:02 |

| derp | yes hello :3 | 19:04 |
| ntzrmtthihu777 | wilee-nilee: the only thing I rather liked from compiz was the desktop grid, you know where you drag a window to the edge and it resizes to fit? I got that with a wmcontroll script now :3 | 19:04 |

| adamk_ | Moreece, Any reason you are looking at the man page for the FreeBSD fxp driver? | 19:09 |
| giasdfres94 | ntzrmtthihu777: what do you mean? | 19:09 |
| wilee-nilee | A1Recon, I think the install alongside defaults grub to the mbr, so not sure whay you ask, the key here is not having to many primary partitions and making the HD go dynamic. | 19:09 |
| compdoc | giasdfres94, I have Premier CS4. It might run ok on windows running in Virtualbox. I have a friend who uses Illustrator in Wine, and it works but there are small things like dialog boxes that dont work well | 19:10 |

| ntzrmtthihu777 | onr: then why is compiz an issue? | 19:12 |
| Jordan_U | A1Recon: Grub's boot sector should always be installed to the MBR of a drive, never to a partition. So if you're given the option between for example "sda" and "sda1", you definitely want to chose "sda", *not* a partition like "sda1". | 19:12 |

| adamk_ | Moreece, That makes more sense. I've only used one laptop with an intel wireless nic, and didn't have that particular problem, so I'm not sure there's much I can contribute.

| adamk_ | Biafra, If you installed fglrx using the version packaged for Ubuntu, from the standard repo, then no. | 19:29 |
| Jordan_U | A1Recon: If you want to be able to suspend to disk (hibernate) then you need as much swap as you have RAM. You can either make a swap partition or use a swap file. You can add a swap file later on, though that requires manual editing of /etc/fstab. | 19:29 |

| adamk_ | vinceve_, I'm not familiar with fan and power management with with radeon GPUs. I just let mine run at whatever temperature they run at, but perhaps there is an option somewhere in the AMD catalyst control center to adjust the fan speed or GPU clockspeed. | 19:47 |

| vinceve_ | I also tried researching the problem and it seems that there are a lot of troubles with AMD mobility HD5xxx series. | 19:51 |
| thomedy | Safa_[A_boy], sudo apt-get install sun-java6-jdk | 19:51 |
| thomedy | thast your best bet | 19:51 |
| schultza | i have a printer server running cups 1.4.4 and i have another computer that i just upgraded to 13.04 64 bit. It is not seeing any printers. It doesnt even seem to scan for printers, ie: immediate response "no printers'. | 19:51 |
| neo1691 | Safa_[A_boy]: Have you tried downloading the deb from the official website? | 19:51 |
| k1l | thomedy: sun java is not in the repos anymore | 19:51 |
| thomedy | but im no pro so if im wrong someonecan correct me | 19:51 |
| Safa_[A_boy] | no | 19:51 |
| thomedy | is it not | 19:51 |
| thomedy | bummer | 19:51 |
| Safa_[A_boy] | Package sun-java6-jdk is not available, but is referred to by another package. | 19:51 |

| thomedy | okay .deb is dpkg right | 19:52 |
| schultza | basss, try network boot? | 19:52 |
| k1l | Safa_[A_boy]: ubuntu was forbidden to deliver it anymore. so its not in the repos. so get it from java itself | 19:52 |
| wilee-nilee | Safa_[A_boy], Take your pick. https://www.google.com/search?hl=en&biw=&bih=&q=12.04+install+sun-java6-jdk&gbv=1&nfpr=&spell=1&sa=X&ei=ORWEUciHF-H6iwLdpYDgAg&ved=0CB4QvwU | 19:52 |
| basss | schultza: how does it work ? | 19:52 |
| Dr_willis | basss, 'debootstrap' is one way. but its not trivial. | 19:52 |
| Bray90820_ | is there an Amazon MP3 plugin for Rhythmbox | 19:53 |
| vinceve_ | Safa | 19:53 |
| vinceve_ | sudo add-apt-repository "deb http://ppa.launchpad.net/webupd8team/java/ubuntu precise main" sudo apt-get update sudo apt-get install oracle-java7-installer oracle-java7-set-default | 19:53 |
| riddrib | ready have the blender | 19:53 |
| schultza | basss, you'll need a tftp, dhcp configured correctly and pxelinux... | 19:53 |
| Dr_willis | !java | Safa_[A_boy] | 19:53 |
| ubottu | Safa_[A_boy]: 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. | 19:53 |
| schultza | be back | 19:53 |
| vinceve_ | in that repository of webupdate they have the java | 19:53 |
| basss | Dr_willis ill check it out | 19:53 |

| KeyboardNotFound | problem solved, thank you very much | 20:00 |
| vinceve_ | Ok, I did a clean install of ubuntu 13.04, my fans are running really hard and my pc turned off a few times because it was overheated7 | 20:00 |
| Ownix | thats weird... | 20:00 |
| schultza | basss, that doesnt seem as complex as my option at first.. and my option requires two computers | 20:00 |
| vinceve_ | I tried installing the catalyst drivers from amd itself | 20:01 |
| vinceve_ | that fixed the problem "a bit" but I'm still running in idle mode around the 70, 75 degrees. | 20:01 |
| brian____ | vinceve_, you've verified that in some other OS that it has a healthy idle temp? | 20:02 |
| vinceve_ | yes, in windows it's around 40 to 50 degrees | 20:02 |
| Ownix | I selected Virtual Machine Host from the Ubuntu installer, I have now booted into the OS and I do not see the group "libvirtd" does this mean something is wrong | 20:03 |
| Ownix | ? | 20:03 |
| vinceve_ | @brian___ any other ideas per accident ? :) | 20:04 |
| thomedy | okay screw blender .org | 20:05 |
| thomedy | the file suffix is bz2 | 20:05 |
| thomedy | and i tar -xf 'd it and it says it snot bzip2 | 20:05 |
| Dr_willis | !info unp | 20:05 |

| thomedy | so ill do that ppa thing | 20:05 |
| Dr_willis | i dont think -xf is right for a bz2 | 20:05 |
| === MyCookie is now known as mycookie | ||
| Dr_willis | unp whatever.bz2 should work | 20:06 |
| jrib | Dr_willis: it's j but tar is smart enough now to not need j specified | 20:06 |
| thomedy | oh thats what google told me cuz i usualy us gz | 20:06 |
| thomedy | okay iill check unp | 20:06 |
| wilee-nilee | Ownix, I have never seen that option, can you give complete details and your goals here. | 20:06 |
| brian____ | vinceve_, No sorry. I was just trying to make sure it wasnt the card and with the drivers you don't have many options. It does seem strange that going from the repo to amd drivers you saw any drop in temp. What happens if you purge all of the AMD stuff, I know you wont be able to get temp easily, but you might be able to hear the fans. | 20:07 |
| thomedy | unp right? i tried to man it i didn't have a man then i tried sudo apt-get install unp and nothing happend i jus tupgraded to 12.04 so i dontknow if its in 12.04 default | 20:08 |
| vinceve_ | @brian__ I'm fairly new to linux, how can I purge it ? uninstall the dpkg's ? | 20:08 |
| Dr_willis | unp is the package name. the bot just said so. | 20:08 |

| brian____ | vinceve_, - 'sudo apt-get remove --purge fglrx fglrx-amdcccle' | 20:10 |
| vinceve_ | ok thanks | 20:10 |
| brian____ | actually, you said you're usind them from AMD | 20:11 |
| vinceve_ | I downloaded them from there website, build the dpkg's and installed them | 20:11 |
| Biafra | hmmm... is it just me, or is flash a little faster than usual | 20:12 |
| Ownix | wilee-nilee: I would like my Ubuntu Server install to be a virtual machine host running KVM. I would like to know what additional packages i will need and addition configuration i will need to do after installing Ubuntu 12.04 Server edition with the "Virtual Machine Host" networking software selection install option selected. | 20:12 |
| wilee-nilee | Ownix, you would boot that iso in the virtual then and install. | 20:12 |
| vinceve_ | ok brian, I uninstalled them | 20:12 |
| riddrib | how can help to installing? | 20:12 |
| vinceve_ | Now probably a reboot ? :) | 20:12 |
| Biafra | okay, it seems to be pretty much all video in chrome... | 20:13 |
| thomedy | nm... i had what i thought ws the download link it took me to a differn tpage | 20:13 |
| wilee-nilee | Ownix, I'm not familiar with the "Virtual Machine Host" networking software. | 20:13 |
| Ownix | wilee-nilee: does Virtual Machine Host not mean Parent for child virtual machines? | 20:14 |
| wilee-nilee | Ownix, I don't know. | 20:14 |
| Biafra | anyone know why that is? I go and listen to Gordon Ramsey over Hulu and he sounds like he's on helium | 20:14 |
| wilee-nilee | maybe he is | 20:15 |
| Biafra | not in this video | 20:15 |
| Biafra | I think Chrome has an issue with video or something | 20:16 |
| vinceve | @brian___ how can I check the temp now ? | 20:16 |
| vinceve | I purged them :) | 20:16 |
| Ownix | what is the difference between apt-get dist upgrade and do-release-upgrade? | 20:16 |
| benw909909 | hi all - just gearing up for installing a 2nd HDD to my win7 tower for 12.04 dual-boot. I am planning the partition scheme: Given its 1TB 2nd drive, I'm wondering if its OK to have an NTFS partition of say 400Gb for the windows Os and Ubuntu to share? | 20:16 |
| adamk_ | Biafra, Is it using flash? | 20:16 |
| Biafra | the hulu video is, the youtube one is not | 20:17 |

| frankbro | Anyone know if theres a workaround for jockey/additional driver problem involving "ImportError: No module named NvidiaDetector.nvidiadetector". I have no nvidia hardware in my machine ... | 20:18 |
| Biafra | yep, definitely a chrome issue (firefox doesn't cause it) | 20:18 |
| guntbert | Ownix: only do-release-upgrade takes you to the next Ubuntu version, dist-upgrade is nearly the same as upgrade but does install additional packages too | 20:19 |
| wilee-nilee | genii-around, fanboi huh. | 20:19 |
| thomedy | all better | 20:19 |
| benw909909 | I will install Ubuntu 12.04 in recommended partitions /, /home /swap for Ubu of maybe 600GB total but the other 400gn would be somewhat wasted: best use would be NTFS the Primary Windows (dumb OS) can read whereas I know with ntfs addon 12.04 will be Ok to use that NTFS partition. Should I wait til 12.04 is installed on start of new drive and add the NTFS shared partition afterwards in the Free Space - or shoudl I setup ALL parts at inst | 20:19 |
| === rofl is now known as Tux | ||
| Biafra | okay, found the solution to that in chrome (was a conflict with the Pepper and NPAPI plugins) | 20:20 |
| wilee-nilee | benw909909, ubuntu will see the NTFS share install it when you want. | 20:21 |
| Ownix | guntbert: so to do a full update id do: apt-get update, do-release-upgrade, apt-get-update, apt-get dist-upgrade | 20:21 |
| uvala | hi everyone, something very new just happened. the computer was doing only file transfer between drives and playing a video. suddenly a full command line screen appeared, which had a line at the top with Windbid or similar in it, while the mouse froze and a shrill constant sound came.

Then once 12.04 boots OK then I can partitiont he remaining space as NTFS and both OS's will be able to use it. great Wilee I'm ready...cant wait! Thanks | 20:22 |

| dkettman_ | Reason: My wife is just more comfortable in Windows and I would like to have a Windows VM come up when she logs in as her user. | 20:23 |
| benzrf | 1. My sound doesn't seem to work | 20:23 |
| benzrf | 2. Unity is absurdly laggy | 20:23 |
| benzrf | I have quantal | 20:23 |
| Ownix | dkettman_: what are you asking? You have an SSH sever running on the guest? just give them that Guests IP address | 20:23 |
| wilee-nilee | uvala, Not with that description, to broad and no real details. | 20:24 |
| guntbert | Ownix: not quite: apt-get update; apt-get upgrade (maybe apt-get dist-upgrade); THEN do-release-upgrade; apt-get update, apt-get upgrade (maybe (if there are packages left) apt-get dist-upgrade) | 20:24 |

| benw909909 | <wilee-nilee> finally one more query: what partition scheme do you recommend for my 2nd HDD with 12.04 dual-boot (remembering I need one primary NTFS for the above). I underatnd I can have 4 primary total - think default is One Primary and 3 logical for Ubuntu...should I follow that or use more Primaries? | 20:26 |

| wilee-nilee | uvala, Ubuntu and antivirus makes no sense, what have you installed? | 20:28 |

| benw909909 | <wilee-nilee> great pal ta - I'll just follows its recommendations of One Primary and rest extended/logical. I did read it really works fine with all extended as you say though some "theoretical" guides warn against ie people who claim they know but havent actually lived with it much.

| uvala | I installed nothing except from repositories. only two days ago I installed Blender's latest version, since it was newer than the repo one. aside from that, I downloaded the referred youtube video a few hours ago. In the first time I was watching it, this happened. | 20:30 |

| wilee-nilee | benw909909, I have W8 and its boot partition as primaries, and 12.10, 13.04, 13.10 in an extended with one swap. Ubuntu will run in a extended completely, the exteneded just allows for more logical partitions then primaries. | 20:31 |
| schultza | ok.. fixed my cups 1.4.4 to cups 1.6.x problem | 20:31 |
| Revo-F | tasha, try to find something here https://help.ubuntu.com/community/Skype | 20:31 |
| benw909909 | <wilee-nilee> sorted:) | 20:31 |

| louisdk | I'm trying to play 720p video over nfs on local network via lan but it lacks. Any tips on debugging? | 20:31 |
| schultza | for those that want to know, check your /etc/cups/cups-browsed.conf (and dont forget to restart the service "cups-browsed") | 20:32 |
| diamonds | bekks, genii-around will this find it? `apt-cache search --installed linux-image` | 20:33 |
| wilee-nilee | uvala, I have no exsperience with blender, I just noticed that your description is slightly nonsensical without exacting details. AV in ubuntu can be installed you have no mention of if you have or any real specificities, we can't read your mind. | 20:33 |
| diamonds | shows quite a few packies... | 20:33 |
| Biomechd | hey guys, i'm trying to mount my mom's android phone to my laptop so i can put files on it when she needs me to, but i'm not sure what my vendor id is in lsusb. | 20:33 |
| bekks | diamonds: dpkg -l linux-image shoudl show you all packages named like that | 20:33 |
| Biomechd | uvala: what's your blender question? i'm a blender user, too. | 20:34 |
| diamonds | bekks, that gives me an error | 20:34 |
| diamonds | bekks, http://hastebin.com/gehesacumo.vbs | 20:34 |
| diamonds | I think I have found the packs with apt-cache | 20:34 |
| diamonds | now to remove... I can remove all but highest number? (linux-image-3.2.0-41-lowlatency-pae - Linux kernel image for version 3.2.0 on x86) | 20:35 |
| Jordan_U | Biomechd: You shouldn't need to know anything about the vendor id. Is the phone configured to share files when connected via USB? If so, through what method? When you plug the phone in does it appear as a device in Nautilus (the GUI file manager)? | 20:35 |
| diamonds | welll I need the _64 one | 20:35 |
| diamonds | so remove all !_64 and < packagenumber.greatest | 20:35 |
| diamonds | s/and/or/ | 20:35 |
| uvala | wilee-nilee, it is a fact that I get antivirus updates, I can put a screenshot here if you like. Aside from the initial problem, I dont know what I am supposed to do with a unix antivirus update that appears and yet warns me that it is not authenticated. it will do if I know the answer to this part | 20:36 |
| Biomechd | Jordan_U: the thing i was following said to install mtpfs and get the vendor id and such. i told it to enable usb debugging and also told it to act as a usb mass storage device. | 20:36 |
| bekks | diamonds: You generally want to remove all of them, but the one which is currently in use - check uname -r to get the currently used version. | 20:36 |
| guntbert | diamonds: not everything apt-cache shows is installed if I remember correctly | 20:36 |
| benzrf | 1. my sound doesn't work; 2. unity is so laggy it's painful to use. Could it be possible that my sound and graphics cards are somehow unavailable? I think I might have accidentally partially upgraded to raring... | 20:37 |
| diamonds | guntbert, well I used --installed with apt-cache search... | 20:37 |
| uvala | Biomechd, thank you, the current question is not directly about blender. I got some antivirus updates for unix right after a strange screen freezing-interruption happened. I was telling about what I recently installed. it was the latest blender. | 20:37 |
| diamonds | I didn't check that it worked tho ;) | 20:37 |
| wilee-nilee | benzrf, "partially upgraded to raring"? | 20:38 |
| diamonds | haha... apt-cache gtfo. guntbert http://hastebin.com/givifigile.sm | 20:38 |
| benzrf | I think I started the script and then ctrl+c'd | 20:38 |
| benzrf | idk | 20:38 |
| guntbert | diamonds: in that case you are ahead of me :) | 20:38 |
| Biomechd | uvala: i highly doubt blender had anything to do with it, unless you got an unofficial build, like from graphicall or a torrent somewhere. graphicall and torrent builds are developed by community members. | 20:38 |
| diamonds | guntbert, doesn't appear to do anything ^ | 20:39 |
| Jordan_U | Biomechd: If you configured it to act as USB Mass Storage then you don't need mtpfs (as that's for MTP), and in both USBMS mode and MTP mode the device should show up in nautilus when plugged in. When in USBMS mode it should also show up if you run "sudo blkid", and you should be able to mount it via the terminal just like any other partition on a USB drive. | 20:39 |
| benzrf | all I know is, it tells me to upgrade when I log in on one of the other viewports, but when I run the script it says I'm uptodate | 20:39 |
| diamonds | is there a 1-click way to clean up these old kernels? | 20:40 |
| uvala | Biomechd, I also dont think it is Blender. I've downloaded it 2-3 days ago, and nothing happened since. On the contrary, I was watching the first time a youtube video that I downloaded a few hours ago, and the screen turned to a torrent of command lines while the machine started non-stop squeaking. | 20:40 |
| diamonds | obv. it would be ridiculously bad UX for every user to have to go thru the process I did to keep their computer from filling up with useless old kernels | 20:41 |
| guntbert | diamonds: no 1-click way, I use aptitude search linux-* |grep "^i" to search for installed linux packages only | 20:41 |
| diamonds | hrm... | 20:41 |
| benzrf | this sux | 20:42 |
| diamonds | what's the workflow for non-terminal users ("regular folks" who had a friend set them up with ubuntu, the "easy to use" linux) | 20:42 |
| bekks | diamonds: dpkg -l | ... -- basically like the approach you posted but didnt want to use. | 20:42 |
| diamonds | bekks, oh I'm happy to use it. I thought dpkg was another package manager :p | 20:42 |
| Biomechd | Jordan_U: how do i know which thing in blkid is the phone? the only thing that's obvious is "system_drv" and "windows7_os" | 20:42 |
| wilee-nilee | diamonds, Ubuntu tweak can do it with the janitor, honestly it is not that hard if you know how to. | 20:42 |
| bekks | diamonds: dpkg is the package manager. apt is just a frontend. :P | 20:42 |
| diamonds | wilee-nilee, what is the janitor? | 20:42 |
| guntbert | diamonds: compared with the rest of the system the old kernels don't amount much :-) | 20:42 |
| diamonds | guntbert, well... I had ~1.5GB of old kernels | 20:43 |
| diamonds | is there any utility in storing these for 99% of users? | 20:43 |
| wilee-nilee | diamonds, You focused on janotor, not that t s inside ubuntu tweak. | 20:43 |
| wilee-nilee | it is* | 20:43 |
| Jordan_U | Biomechd: It will be a vfat fileystem for one. Please pastebin the output of "blkid" and also of "dmesg". | 20:43 |
| onr | so, xubuntu is just awesome | 20:43 |
| diamonds | wilee-nilee, oh "ubuntu tweak" is the name of the software? | 20:44 |
| diamonds | sry I didn't recognize it | 20:44 |
| uvala | ok, cleaning the slate, concise and reformulated: what am I supposed to do with an update manager that contains 4 anti-virus updates for Unix, and warns me that they are not authenticated? install them? ignore them? | 20:44 |
| diamonds | I'll give it a whirl | 20:44 |
| Biomechd | Jordan_U: the only "vfat" filesystem in the list is my flash drive. | 20:44 |
| diamonds | shiiiiit | 20:44 |
| diamonds | sudo apt-get remove linux-image-3.2.0-3* | 20:45 |
| diamonds | somehow this removed the latest one (/lib/modules/3.2.0-41-generic) | 20:45 |
| bekks | diamonds: Then install the latest again. sudo apt-get install ... | 20:45 |
| diamonds | bekks, ah thanks | 20:45 |
| diamonds | but http://hastebin.com/qosuvekuxe.vdl | 20:45 |

| uvala | any assistance with my problem? | 20:49 |
| Biomechd | Jordan_U: do you need the "dmseg" output if i've already found the phone listed in it, or can you just tell me how to mount it? | 20:50 |
| OerHeks | uvala, what antivirus ? what howto did you follow to install them, not authenticated means no trusted key. | 20:51 |
| Jordan_U | Biomechd: I'd prefer the full output. Any reason not to give it? | 20:51 |
| uvala | OerHeks, I will put a screenshot, please bear with me | 20:51 |
| explodes | Hey dudes/dudettes! Where would I find the source of "Keyboard Layout Finder" that you can walkthrough when you install? I'm downloading the whole quantal source repo right now, but where would I start? | 20:52 |
| MySystemIsScrewe | I am running 12.04, the system can't boot for unknown reasons (Many) and running fsck with the Gparted live cd turnes out fine. | 20:52 |
| OerHeks | uvala why can't you just name them? | 20:52 |
| Jordan_U | Biomechd: To mount it you click on the icon that shows up in nautilus, or use the mount command (using the device which showed up in blkid's output). Clearly things aren't working as they should, so we need to figure out what's wrong before we can mount the device. | 20:53 |
| Biomechd | Jordan_U: well, i noticed that "dmseg" seems to be outputting a lot of the processes that my laptop goes through, and i found where it says "found new usb device" and then starts talking about the phone. | 20:53 |

| Thorby | Hi, quick question. | 21:09 |
| joachimhs | Its named ubuntu-12.04.2-server-amd64.iso | 21:09 |
| tasha | Ive rebooted several times since the update.. let me try reinstalling it | 21:09 |
| benzrf | wait, it's having issues with pulseaudio | 21:09 |
| Nothing_Much | 13.04, right tasha? | 21:09 |
| benzrf | yeah that's probably it | 21:09 |
| ubuntuaddicted | genii-around, thanks. i just forgot about lshw | 21:09 |
| tasha | Yes | 21:09 |
| Nothing_Much | Restart | 21:09 |
| benzrf | is there a reason why pulseaudio would be gone from my system? | 21:09 |
| Nothing_Much | After an update | 21:09 |
| Jordan_U | joachimhs: Is it a "grub> " prompt or a "rescue> " prompt? | 21:09 |
| benzrf | derp | 21:09 |
| benzrf | ok | 21:09 |
| tasha | Ive restarted already several times since any updates o.o | 21:09 |
| joachimhs | Jordan_U: Its a grub> prompt | 21:09 |
| Nothing_Much | Pulseaudio, while required for multiple streams and overall convenience, is a bit unstable still | 21:10 |
| Nothing_Much | Hell, I absolutely NEEDED it, but it kept crashing TF2 everytime I used my microphone | 21:10 |
| kairos | Pixels keep dropping and showing the default background in the middle of my screen. http://i.imgur.com/52hpHU7.jpg Can anyone help me sort this out? They go away whenever that portion of the screne is refresh (i.e., new window, window movement, etc) but reappear again after a few seconds | 21:10 |
| kairos | screen* refreshed* | 21:10 |
| joachimhs | Jordan_U: I am wondering if this is the correct image: 64-bit Mac (AMD64) server install image | 21:10 |
| benzrf | ok I installed pulseaudio back, but play still isn't working | 21:10 |
| Jordan_U | joachimhs: It being "AMD64" is definitely not a problem, intel's 64 bit processors use the "AMD64" architecture (AMD did it first). It being the server image might be a problem. | 21:11 |
| tasha | I will try reinstalling and rebooting just to be sure be back in a bit | 21:11 |
| benzrf | I have no sound whatsoever from anything | 21:11 |
| Nothing_Much | Use "pulseaudio -D" | 21:11 |
| SanMysterious | hi, does anybody know when the 3.9 kernel will be provided via the update manager in ubuntu 13.04? | 21:11 |
| Nothing_Much | To start it up | 21:11 |
| benzrf | probably unrelated, but unity is absurdly laggy also | 21:11 |
| benzrf | Nothing_Much: tried pulseaudio -D. I got 'daemon startup failed' | 21:11 |
| wilee-nilee | kairos, Can you run lsb_release -a and post the OS? | 21:12 |
| joachimhs | Jordan_U: http://releases.ubuntu.com/quantal/ says it is "adjusted to work properly on a mac" | 21:12 |
| Jordan_U | SanMysterious: Probably never. Kernel versions don't generally increase within Ubuntu versions, except in LTS releases. | 21:12 |
| kairos | wilee-nilee: Ubuntu 12.04 | 21:12 |
| Nothing_Much | 13.10 might have it | 21:12 |
| Nothing_Much | benzrf, is libpulse0 installed? | 21:12 |
| wilee-nilee | kairos, Hard to really tell much from the screenshots at least here. | 21:13 |
| Jordan_U | joachimhs: Yes, but I don't know if the server image is meant to be bootable via USB via this method. | 21:13 |
| SanMysterious | Jordan_U: but isn't canonical optimizing the kernel for 13.04: http://kernel.ubuntu.com/~kernel-ppa/mainline/v3.9-raring/ | 21:13 |
| benzrf | Nothing_Much: yes | 21:13 |
| benzrf | also: NOTHING is making ANY sound | 21:13 |
| joachimhs | Jordan_U: Ah | 21:13 |
| kairos | wilee-nilee: The odd thing is, what's showing is Ubuntu's default background. I've never used it. | 21:13 |
| benzrf | could it be a hardware problem? | 21:13 |

| kairos | well that's weird | 21:28 |
| kairos | I've seen that problem before, though I can't recall the solution :/ | 21:28 |
| wilee-nilee | wendico, swap equal to ram for hibernate a slight extra swap is generally advised. | 21:29 |

| kairos | benzrf: You told me you had upgraded lol | 21:31 |
| benzrf | no | 21:31 |

| benzrf | I said I might have | 21:31 |
| benzrf | I don't know how it got to raring myself | 21:31 |
| kairos | benzrf: You're right. What you said was it says you are updated when you try to upgrade again | 21:31 |
| kairos | Apparently you didn't run update | 21:32 |
| wilee-nilee | wendico, It is the boot partition you probably have a uefi setup be careful and be fully backed up. | 21:32 |
| kairos | Hopefully this will solve it | 21:32 |

| A1Recon | ??? | 21:36 |
| johnjohn101 | do most ppa's do their own compiles and then package with checkinstall? | 21:36 |
| Dr_willis | You really DONT want to use checkinstall for packages you will be disrtibuting | 21:37 |
| wilee-nilee | johnjohn101, never seen a chk install from a ppa | 21:37 |

| Dr_willis | !checkinstall | 21:37 |
| ubottu | checkinstall is a wrapper to "make install", useful for installing programs you compiled. It will create a .deb package, which will be listed in the APT database and can be uninstalled like other packages.

| benzrf | it's like setting your nick to 'return' on a programming channel | 21:38 |
| Dr_willis | johnjohn101, ive rarely needed to make a package. If you want people to use what you are building, then you really should be using the PPA system | 21:38 |

| zianya | guys my ubuntu is not booting, but it says is installed, any idea_ | 21:41 |

| johnjohn101 | dr_willis: 13.04 said is needed a newer version of the clib package (i'm guessing the package name as it's been a month) but when i compiled it didn't | 21:43 |
| Guest38880 | zianya: Boot partition FAT32? | 21:43 |
| Guest38880 | zianya: Try giving boot flag to ext4 partition, it should contain the boot manager if you installed default install | 21:44 |
| zianya | Guest38880: that-s what linux did, is it wrong? | 21:44 |
| zianya | what about that fat32 partition Guest38880 | 21:44 |
| Dr_willis | I thought a UEFI setup had a fat32 partition ? | 21:45 |
| Guest38880 | zianya: I don't think the default install creates a boot partition, it's all in one partition which shouldn't be fat32, it should be either ext2 or ext4 | 21:45 |
| Guest38880 | Dr_willis: Maybe newer hardware | 21:45 |

| A1Recon | Using Thunderbird on Ubuntu. I love this OS!! Adios Win7! | 22:04 |
| bazhang | so install gksu | 22:05 |
| ubuntuaddicted | I thought running GUI apps with sudo is dangerous? | 22:05 |
| k1l | ubuntuaddicted: it is | 22:05 |
| Dr_willis | ubuntuaddicted, use 'gksudo' to run gui apps. | 22:05 |
| ubuntuaddicted | oh i see, it's suggested to tell users to sudo -i first | 22:05 |
| subsilico | use sudo | 22:05 |
| ubuntuaddicted | Dr_willis, oh, i guess I always thought gksu and gksudo were the same. LOL disregard me guys. | 22:06 |
| bazhang | yeah thats not confusing | 22:06 |
| Dr_willis | ubuntuaddicted, they are NOT the 'same' there are minor differances | 22:06 |
| subsilico | both are totally unneeded | 22:06 |
| ubuntuaddicted | sudo -i remains a safe solution on all currently supported versions of Ubuntu | 22:07 |
| zykotick9 | subsilico: you're wrong. see "/msg ubottu gksudo" for details. | 22:07 |
| SonikkuAmerica | Even I know the difference with and without the "gk" | 22:07 |
| ubuntuaddicted | subsilico, i issue gksudo gedit /foo all the time personally. | 22:07 |
| MonkeyDust | ubuntuaddicted you're a non-geek | 22:07 |
| subsilico | what!? who is running firefox as root? | 22:08 |
| ubuntuaddicted | MonkeyDust, not sure where you're getting your information, cause it's wrog | 22:08 |
| subsilico | thats serious branindamage | 22:08 |
| ubuntuaddicted | MonkeyDust, wrong | 22:08 |
| ubuntuaddicted | Dr_willis, i've always known to run gui apps with gksudo, back to dapper days | 22:09 |
| subsilico | i guess my theory is never run gui apps as root | 22:11 |
| Dr_willis | ubuntuaddicted, thats how id o it also. | 22:11 |
| ubuntuaddicted | subsilico, correct | 22:11 |
| subsilico | i can't hardly imagine using a gui editor to mode system files | 22:11 |
| subsilico | mode/mod | 22:12 |

| ubuntuaddicted | bammm, community support, ease of use, that's what I can think of | 22:13 |
| MonkeyDust | bammm and because ubuntu has a nice offtopic channel | 22:13 |
| Belial | experienced linux users who don't have time to spend days configuring their system for use. | 22:13 |

| TheLordOfTime | ubuntuaddicted: that's insufficient, because i don't know the package name | 22:17 |

| Sandy_ | Hello. I have installed Ubuntu for the first time ever today. In fact, it's my first contact with any Linux distribution ever. So, naturally I'm stuck. I've installed Ubuntu on a server and after installation & reboot, I get "Input Not Supported." I have attempted to edit a GRUB line to make the default resolution 640*480 after making my way to a shell prompt, as directed by various forums,... | 22:24 |
| Sandy_ | ...only to get an error that the file is read only. TLDR - I installed Ubuntu and can't do jack because when it boots it says "Input not supported" | 22:24 |
| Dr_willis | Sandy_, what kind of 'on a server' do you mean? Are you saying the Monitor is saying it cant find a resolution to display? You did a server install? | 22:26 |
| Dr_willis | Sandy_, there is 'text' option that might also get things going | 22:26 |
| Sandy_ | When I say 'server' I'm referring to the physical server. | 22:26 |
| compex | what's a good command line music player? | 22:26 |
| Sandy_ | The monitor does display a message that says "Input not supported" | 22:26 |
| Sandy_ | I did do a server install, I selected the LAMP package | 22:27 |
| === djm_ is now known as Guest27579 | ||
| Sandy_ | How would I access the text option? | 22:27 |
| Dr_willis | Sandy_, i would try the nomodeset, and text options | 22:27 |
| Dr_willis | !text | 22:27 |
| ubottu | To start your system in text-only mode append 'text' (without the quotes) to the kernel line in the grub menu. You can access the grub menu by pressing Esc (Grub legacy) or Shift (Grub2) during boot. For more info see https://help.ubuntu.com/community/BootOptions#Text%20Mode | 22:27 |
| Dr_willis | change the line in the grub menu (if you can ) to be 'noquiet nosplash text nomodeset' (thats about all the options i can think of that SHOULD kick it into failsafe text mode) | 22:28 |
| Sandy_ | ok - trying this now | 22:28 |
| Dr_willis | Sandy_, you do have some linux experience? im not sure why you are starging with a server install if you dont have some earlier experience | 22:28 |
| Sandy_ | which grub is included in 13.04 server? | 22:29 |
| Sandy_ | grub2? | 22:29 |
| Dr_willis | grub2 has been the default for a few years now | 22:29 |
| john__ | having trouble getting mythtv started get channel locked signal | 22:29 |
| bazhang | try #ubuntu-mythtv john__ | 22:29 |
| Navion | Are there any Ubuntu distros for PowerMac that support the embedded audio? | 22:30 |
| zykotick9 | john__: verify you storage directory has Read/Write for other - i had the issue last night ;) | 22:30 |
| Sandy_ | hmmm, pressed shift repeatedly during boot and "Input Not Supported" still came up | 22:30 |
| Dr_willis | press and HOLD shift. but if grub is unable to display a proper res. then you wont see grub. There are grub options in its configs to show a 'fail safe text' menuy | 22:31 |
| Dr_willis | but you might need to use a live cd to get into the sytem and set those options for grub | 22:31 |
| Dr_willis | or track down a differnt monitor for now and se eif it works with a newer one. | 22:31 |
| Sandy_ | The ony way I can get to anything that allows me to interact with the system is by pressing up/down arrow keys repeatedly with a mash on the enter key sprinkled in there | 22:31 |
| Sandy_ | ok, trying the press & hold | 22:31 |
| Sandy_ | already tried other monitors | 22:32 |
| marti1125 | hi | 22:32 |
| Dr_willis | if you can get into a console. you can try to set grub t use the old fashioned text menu mode | 22:32 |
| marti1125 | i would like to install ubuntu in a laptop but the windows doesn't detected... | 22:32 |
| Jordan_U | marti1125: Can you run "sudo parted -l" and pastebin the output? | 22:33 |
| Dr_willis | Sandy_, in /etc/default/grub theres a line that says -> #unvomment to disable graphical terminal. | 22:34 |
| Dr_willis | #GRUB_TERMINAL=console | 22:34 |
| Dr_willis | remove that # on the GRUB_TERMINAL line and rerun update-grub and it should use the old text menu modes | 22:34 |
| marti1125 | ok :D | 22:35 |
| benzrf | all of my packages are up to date, but I still have no sound... my graphical lag is gone though. on the topic of graphics, ctrl-alt-arrows no longer switches workspaces. how can I enable that? | 22:35 |
| Dr_willis | but you Might need to chroot in/follow the fix grub guides to fix that. | 22:35 |
| Dr_willis | Sandy_, if you can get the system to a console. i would suggest installing ssh (if its not allready installed) that way even if the monitor is messed up . you can ssh in and try to fix things | 22:36 |

| ubottu | zianya: 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). | 22:50 |
| zianya | Sandy_: so the iso is wrong? | 22:51 |
| Sandy_ | oh, so you wrote ISO directly to the hard drive? | 22:51 |
| Sandy_ | or extracted it to the hard drive, rather | 22:52 |
| zipace | that'd be a first one that someone actually tries to flash the disk with the contents of an iso image, haha | 22:52 |
| bazhang | zianya, how did you write to the media? | 22:52 |
| zianya | bazhang: I used a usb | 22:53 |
| zianya | Sandy_: bazhang Jordan_U http://pastebin.com/ACE0kdcN | 22:53 |
| bazhang | zianya, yes thats the media | 22:53 |
| zianya | I used a usb to install it, indeed i-m using the usb right now in live cd | 22:53 |
| bazhang | zianya, did you just drag and drop? | 22:53 |
| zianya | bazhang: used a software to put it in the usb | 22:54 |
| bazhang | zianya, what software, and did you md5 the iso before | 22:54 |
| zianya | I have tried ubuntu lubuntu isos 13.04 and 12.10, and I used unetbootin and other software a guys recommended me | 22:55 |
| zianya | called universal usb installer or something like that | 22:55 |
| zianya | I am using it right now in live cd | 22:55 |
| bazhang | zianya, md5 iso? yes or no | 22:55 |
| zianya | no idea whats that | 22:55 |
| bazhang | !md5 | zianya | 22:55 |
| zianya | but I think has something to do to verify the iso | 22:55 |
| ubottu | zianya: To verify your Ubuntu ISO image (or other files for which an MD5 checksum is provided), see http://help.ubuntu.com/community/HowToMD5SUM or http://www.linuxquestions.org/linux/answers/LQ_ISO/Checking_the_md5sum_in_Windows | 22:55 |
| zianya | yeah, I have tried a lot of isos dont think thats the problem | 22:55 |
| zipace | if liveCD works, then it's relatively safe to assume that the USB stick has been flashed correctly bazhang | 22:56 |
| zianya | any way I could verify if you want | 22:56 |
| zianya | zipace: exactly | 22:56 |
| zipace | zianya: where did you download the iso? | 22:56 |
| zianya | ubuntu.com | 22:56 |
| zianya | ubuntu.net | 22:56 |
| zianya | all official | 22:56 |
| zipace | which one? | 22:56 |
| zipace | well fair enough | 22:56 |
| zianya | I have tried both | 22:56 |

| === Fast[BDC] is now known as pcdummy | ||
| zianya | oh, ok, good | 22:57 |
| Sandy_ | zianya - disclaimer - I'm a Linux beginner here for support myself, but a "no os found" message usually indicates the computer found no info in the master boot record, meaning that whatever you did to put an OS on the disk, it didn't write a "MBR" as part of that process | 22:57 |
| zianya | so whats wrong? | 22:57 |
| === rhg135|gone is now known as rhg135 | ||
| zipace | zianya: how exactly did you install ubuntu? | 22:57 |
| zykotick9 | zipace: assuming /dev/sdb is a USB is a dangerous assumption, my sdb is a SATA HD... | 22:57 |
| zianya | zipace: with the icon install ubuntu | 22:57 |
| zianya | and click, yes yes yes next next next | 22:57 |
| zianya | used the option erase all the disk and install ubuntu | 22:58 |
| zianya | uhm | 22:58 |
| zipace | zykotick9: if your HD is external then it's perfectly normal that it is listed as /dev/sdb (think of sdb as "external device", in contrast to an "internal device", ie, internal harddrive) | 22:58 |
| zianya | no /sda/ is m usb | 22:58 |
| zianya | so sdb is my hard drive | 22:58 |
| zykotick9 | zipace: you're wrong in your understanding... | 22:58 |
| zianya | you guys saw the screenshoot? | 22:59 |
| zianya | http://imageshack.us/photo/my-images/43/201305032248481280x800s.png/ | 22:59 |
| zipace | zykotick9: i might be, hardware isn't my field of knowledge ;-) | 22:59 |
| Sandy_ | zykotick9 - I installed ssh using the sudo apt-get command. Now, how would I go about accessing this system remotely? (that is what SSH is for, right?) | 23:00 |
| zipace | zianya: i need to correct myself, /dev/sdb seems to be your harddrive, not your USB device | 23:00 |
| zianya | exactly zipace | 23:00 |
| zianya | No boot loader is installed in the MBR of /dev/sdb | 23:00 |
| zipace | zianya: that is to say, your HD seems completely empty | 23:00 |
| zianya | so that-s why i thought that was wrong, but why is ubuntu not installing the mbr | 23:00 |
| zipace | zianya: again, how did you install ubuntu? | 23:01 |
| zianya | says used 6.84GB | 23:01 |
| zianya | zipace: scroll up, I just told you | 23:01 |
| zipace | doesn't lubuntu ship ubiquity? ubiquity is the interactive installer | 23:01 |
| observ3r | hi | 23:01 |
| zipace | zianya: my apologies, i didn't notice it | 23:01 |
| zianya | I put the ubuntu in the usb, launched the live cd, click on the icon INSTALL ubuntu and click NEXT on every step, used the format all the disk and install ubuntu option | 23:01 |
| zianya | is ok | 23:01 |
| zianya | the problem is ubuntu is not writing the mbr, but why | 23:02 |
| zipace | good question | 23:02 |
| zianya | and why sdb1 is fat32 and the flag is boot | 23:02 |
| zianya | that-s not normal? | 23:02 |
| zipace | zianya: it's definitely not normal that sdb1 is fat32 | 23:03 |
| zipace | it should be ext3 or ext4 | 23:03 |
| Sandy_ | I edited grub - I understand that I should now run "update-grub" to have that change take effect. When I type that from host@user it says "grub-mkconfig: You must run this as root" | 23:03 |
| Sandy_ | How to I become root? | 23:03 |
| zipace | sandeepr: sudo update-grub | 23:03 |
| Sandy_ | ah | 23:04 |
| zianya | zipace: so why the hell is doing it??!?!!? | 23:04 |
| zipace | sorry, Sandy_ | 23:04 |
| Sandy_ | lol np | 23:04 |
| Sandy_ | I know a sandeep | 23:04 |
| zipace | Sandy_: "sudo" temporarily elevates you into root status | 23:04 |
| zipace | zianya: beats me tbh | 23:04 |
| zianya | sorry? | 23:04 |
| zipace | zianya: i said i don't know | 23:05 |
| zianya | oh | 23:05 |
| zianya | what can I do? | 23:05 |
| zipace | zianya: you could try formatting the disk as ext4, and hope for the best | 23:05 |
| zipace | frankly, i'm puzzled myself here | 23:05 |
| zianya | zipace: that will simply remove the mbr | 23:06 |
| zianya | if it was writen as fat32 | 23:06 |
| zipace | zianya: that, and potentially fix disk errors (if there are any) | 23:06 |
| Sandy_ | what tool did you use to make your flash/usb drive bootable? | 23:06 |

| zianya | of course, how else I am in the live cd? | 23:08 |
| zianya | I removed that shitty fat32 partition, I think the usb software created it | 23:08 |
| zianya | I will reboot and try | 23:08 |

| Sandy_ | ah I see thanks | 23:10 |
| wad | I installed mysql on my laptop, because sometimes I need it. But it's always running. It starts the service by default. I generally turn it off manually (sudo service mysql stop) whenever I boot. Is there a way I can have this service be OFF by default, and require me to start it? | 23:11 |
| Sandy_ | ok, uncommenting the line in grub that allows the system to use 640*480 graphics seems to have done the trick - I am now in a very low-res GNU GRUB menu | 23:12 |
| marti1125 | ok the problem is eufi | 23:12 |
| zipace | wad: since mysql is a server application, it needs to run in the background to function, so your best bet is to include "service mysql stop" in /etc/profile | 23:12 |
| zianya_ | same | 23:12 |
| zianya_ | did not work | 23:12 |
| wad | zipace, okay, that sounds good. | 23:12 |

| zipace | :o | 23:14 |
| harrism | can you help me i need to turn off powersaving | 23:14 |
| zipace | harrism: for your netbook/notebook? | 23:14 |
| Sandy_ | when I select "Ubuntu" from that menu, I get to a command prompt - how should I install video drivers & access the Ubuntu GUI? | 23:14 |
| zianya_ | zipace: and then? | 23:14 |
| zipace | zianya_: it might detect and fix disk errors, if there are any. by default the ubuntu installer will format the disk anyway, but maybe something is up with your HD | 23:15 |
| whjms | 23:16 | |
| DarkAceLaptop | how do I list all files and folders, and the files and folders inside those folders? | 23:17 |

| Jordan_U | DarkAceLaptop: find /path/to/directory/ | 23:18 |
| Slart | Hello, I'm looking for a simple, lightweight webserver preferably something I can just run from a terminal and it will serve up the files from the current working directory.. I was thinking of doing some web development stuff with jquery and such.. any recommendations? I don't want to move files to some special web-folder like I would have to for apache | 23:18 |
| DarkAceLaptop | cool | 23:18 |
| Jordan_U | DarkAceLaptop: Though if you're trying to script something you'll want to know more than that. What is your end goal? | 23:18 |
| zipace | DarkAceLaptop: "sudo apt-get install tree", ad then "tree -C <directory>" | 23:18 |
| zianya_ | zipace: http://imageshack.us/photo/my-images/716/201305032317461280x800s.png/ | 23:19 |
| zianya_ | done, now? | 23:19 |
| derp | ( ͡° ͜ʖ ͡°) | 23:19 |
| DarkAceLaptop | I just want to pastebin all the files in my music folder | 23:19 |
| zipace | zianya_: try installing ubuntu again | 23:19 |
| th0r | DarkAceLaptop: try 'ls -alR' and see if that does it | 23:19 |
| zianya_ | zipace: with erase disk? | 23:20 |
| zipace | zianya_: yes | 23:20 |
| Jordan_U | zianya_: Is this machine configured to boot the hard drive via UEFI or BIOS? | 23:20 |
| zianya_ | bios I guess | 23:20 |
| zianya_ | it is installing | 23:21 |
| wad | zipace, that doesn't work very well. -_- | 23:21 |
| zipace | zianya_: did your machine come with windows 8 preinstalled? because in that case, UEFI might be a problem (as Jordan_U said) | 23:21 |
| Jordan_U | zianya_: If that's the case, then that's the problem. It's booting the Ubuntu installer via UEFI, and thus the installer is configuring the installation to be booted via UEFI. | 23:21 |
| zianya_ | it just created the fat32 partitoin AGAIN | 23:21 |
| zipace | wad: why not? is mysql still running? | 23:21 |
| zianya_ | zipace: no, vista | 23:21 |
| wad | zipace, it turns it off. But that /etc/profile is kicked off all the time. | 23:22 |
| zianya_ | Jordan_U: how do I change that_ | 23:22 |
| wad | When a do "sudo -i" for example. | 23:22 |
| zianya_ | or what should I do | 23:22 |
| wad | zipace: So I get error complaints in bash. | 23:23 |
| zipace | wad: why do you actually want to stop mysql from being autorun anyway? i'm just being curious, because the mysql server only uses very little resources | 23:23 |
| wad | I could wrap in an environment variable... | 23:23 |
| wad | zipace, I've only got 8GB of RAM, and I'm always running out. | 23:23 |
| wad | So I'm trying to shave off all the resources I can. | 23:23 |
| zipace | wad: "only" 8GB ram? :-P | 23:23 |
| zipace | I got 8GB ram, and never had any problems with mysql, or any database server for that matter | 23:24 |
| zianya_ | zipace: installed | 23:24 |
| ubuntuaddicted | DarkAceLaptop, ls -R /full/path > directory_structure.txt | 23:24 |
| zianya_ | same partitions names, data, flags, all the same | 23:24 |
| DarkAceLaptop | \o/ | 23:24 |
| ubuntuaddicted | DarkAceLaptop, then you can use pastebinit to upload it straight to pastebin | 23:24 |
| zipace | wad: are you sure it's not a different program that is hogging all the resources | 23:24 |
| wad | zipace, I often run three or four instances of two different IDEs. And two virtual machines, one of which runs Oracle. When I run a build, I have to exit a bunch of stuff. | 23:24 |
| zipace | wad: fair enough, but even in those cases, mysql is quite unlikely to cause performance problems, especially when unused (ie, not active transactions) | 23:25 |
| zipace | s/not/no/ | 23:25 |
| wad | zipace, yes, it's not mysql that is the hog. It's all the other crap that I have to run. Since I don't always need mysql around, I'm just wondering how to tell the system not to launch it by default on boot. | 23:25 |
| wad | My laptop is very heavily used. | 23:26 |
| zipace | wad: well, alright. run 'sudo -c "echo manual >> /etc/init/mysql.override"' | 23:27 |
| wad | Ah!! | 23:27 |
| hexacode | hey wad | 23:27 |
| hexacode | do u use vim | 23:27 |
| * wad edits mysql.override | 23:27 | |
| wad | Yeah, I'm a vim fan. | 23:28 |
| hexacode | sudo ls -laR /etc/rc* | vim - | 23:28 |
| syf | 每次打开无线连接都要输密码，有没有解决办法 | 23:28 |
| hexacode | then do a search on your startup job | 23:28 |
| hexacode | in my case it was httpd | 23:28 |
| hexacode | or apache2 | 23:28 |
| hexacode | i saw which folder it was in | 23:28 |
| hexacode | and screwed up the permissions | 23:28 |
| hexacode | i dont think it started then | 23:28 |

| zianya_ | zipace: check your partitions | 23:32 |
| zianya_ | dont you have any fat32_ | 23:32 |
| zianya_ | are you sure? | 23:33 |
| zipace | zianya_: my partitions are ext4 for ubuntu, and ntfs for windows | 23:33 |
| zipace | as expected | 23:33 |
| OerHeks | ThePendulum, as of 10.04 there are 218 languages supported. | 23:33 |

| lenz | hey guys | 23:35 |
| zianya_ | other distro | 23:35 |
| zianya_ | Im downloading debian right now | 23:35 |
| ChuckNorrisInmor | aloh :P | 23:35 |
| lenz | whats you issue zianya? | 23:35 |
| Jordan_U | zianya_: When you installed Windows, did it install via UEFI or via BIOS? | 23:35 |
| zianya_ | Jordan_U: no damn idea what uefi is | 23:35 |
| zianya_ | It just booted | 23:36 |
| zipace | zianya_: sudo grub-install /dev/sdb | 23:36 |
| ChuckNorrisInmor | mmm... how can i open a .cdr file ? please help me -.- | 23:36 |
| ChuckNorrisInmor | i meant corel draw's files | 23:36 |
| Jordan_U | !uefi | zianya_ | 23:36 |
| ubottu | zianya_: UEFI is a specification that defines a software interface between an operating system and platform firmware, it is meant as a replacement for the BIOS. For information on how to set up and install Ubuntu and its derivatives on UEFI machines please read https://help.ubuntu.com/community/UEFI | 23:36 |
| lenz | ChuckNorrisInmor is it a diskimage? | 23:37 |
| zipace | ChuckNorrisInmor: sudo apt-get install python-uniconvertor && uniconverter file.cdr file.svg | 23:37 |
| zipace | ChuckNorrisInmor: then, open the svg file with inkscape | 23:37 |
| ChuckNorrisInmor | lenz: nop. .cdr is the extention for corel draw's files | 23:37 |
| Jordan_U | zianya_: Did the Windows installation use GPT for the partition table and create a fat32 partition (the EFI System Partition)? | 23:37 |
| OerHeks | ChuckNorrisInmor, you can open it in inkscape | 23:38 |
| zianya_ | no damn idea | 23:38 |
| zipace | zianya_: if you want to use debian instead, then it might be worth a try, though i don't think it would really be any different if the root of the problem is your hardware | 23:38 |
| ChuckNorrisInmor | OerHeks: nope, Inkscape doesn't work | 23:38 |
| mzaza | has anyone experience slow performance on desktop when trying to mark shortcuts on desktop or opening nautilus? | 23:38 |
| ChuckNorrisInmor | it only open come old versions .cdr files but not the most resents =( | 23:39 |
| zipace | ChuckNorrisInmor: have you tried the command i gave you? | 23:39 |
| OerHeks | export the files as .svg is the old way | 23:39 |
| ChuckNorrisInmor | zipace: yes, uniconvertor has some issues | 23:40 |
| ChuckNorrisInmor | has issues with pytohn 2.7 i think | 23:40 |
| zianya_ | zipace: Path `/boot/grub' is not readable by GRUB on boot. Installation is impossible. Aborting. | 23:40 |
| ChuckNorrisInmor | doesn't either :P | 23:40 |
| zipace | ChuckNorrisInmor: which ones? pastebin the error | 23:40 |
| zipace | zipace: did you use sudo? | 23:41 |
| ChuckNorrisInmor | ẁell i am helping a user in a chatango chat -.- zipace but... let me install uniconvertor so i can give you the outputs | 23:41 |
| Jordan_U | zianya_: Your Ubuntu LiveUSB currently has a directory named "efi", if you rename that directory "disabled-efi" then your computer won't try to boot it via UEFI, and thus Ubuntu's installer will not try to install a UEFI system. | 23:42 |
| lenz | What's the non-support chitchat ubuntu channel? | 23:44 |
| * r00t-err0r AFK | 23:44 | |
| mzaza | Could the performance of nautilus while opening be affected by video driver? | 23:44 |
| wilee-nilee | lenz, #ubuntu-offtopic | 23:44 |
| lenz | mzaza I do think so, yes. | 23:44 |
| Jordan_U | zianya_: You can also look at your motherboard's documentation to check how to enable/disable UEFI. Right now (for whatever reason) it appears (though I don't have enough info to say for sure) that your computer is configured to boot USB drives via UEFI and internal drives via BIOS, which is breaking things (and is very odd). | 23:44 |
| lenz | thanks wilee-nilee | 23:44 |
| wilee-nilee | np | 23:44 |
| mzaza | lenz: I have hybrid graphics laptop. So shouldn't it work fine if I use the built in graphics card? | 23:45 |
| ChuckNorrisInmor | zipace: http://paste.ubuntu.com/5630742/ | 23:46 |
| zipace | mzaza: technically that would only affect nautilus if you use desktop effects | 23:46 |
| zipace | mzaza: try disabling them | 23:46 |
| mzaza | zipace: how? | 23:47 |
| kyconquers | how can I set the default group of all newly created file of a user? | 23:47 |
| zipace | ChuckNorrisInmor: welp, looks like uniconverter hasn't been taken care of by the maintainer... if you want to help, you can file a bug by running the command "ubuntu-bug uniconverter" which will take you through the necessary steps (filing bugs REALLY does help, and you're doing everyone a bug favour!) | 23:48 |
| zipace | s/bug/big/ | 23:48 |
| kyconquers | I know this does not have to do with the umask, and I can do it on a directory basis with an acl, but I need to do it on the user level. | 23:48 |

| hachre | !ask | 23:49 |

| ChuckNorrisInmor | ok | 23:57 |
| Jordan_U | yofun: Have you checked that no partitions on /dev/sda are mounted (or in use as swap)? | 23:57 |
| zipace | yofun: if /dev/sda is where your operating system resides, then it cannot be scanned as it is mounted (necessary in order to use it) | 23:57 |
| zipace | yofun: instead, use a livecd to check your harddrives | 23:57 |
| yofun | no im on a live session (usb stick) | 23:57 |
| Dayofswords | yofun: is it mounted in any way? Try umount /dev/sda | 23:58 |
| zipace | yofun: in that case, unmount /dev/sda first | 23:58 |
| yofun | and i checked mount but /dev/sda is not mounted | 23:58 |
| zipace | yofun: what does "mount | grep /dev/sda" say? | 23:58 |
| yofun | zipace: nothing :/ | 23:59 |
