[00:00] anyone able to help [00:00] or am i been ignored again [00:00] Jordan_U: The thing is, on the other partition on this laptop I have no connectivity issues whatsoever [00:00] s3b`: Can you pastebin the output of "dmesg"? [00:00] do you want anything grep'd? [00:01] nubby: You're not being ignored. If nobody knows the answer to your question, then nobody will answer. [00:01] nubby, If no one answers, don't default to you are being ignored, people answer if they know. ;) [00:01] Dr_willis: looks like everything worked fine [00:01] s3b`: No, I'll do the grepping as I'm not sure exactly what I'm looking for yet :) [00:01] fair [00:01] http://hastebin.com/medepoqeku.vhdl [00:02] sorry just really anoyyed cos i cant udnerstand why its happenign [00:02] seem liek my itnel cards havign a fit [00:02] Future reference what does dmesg output :)? [00:03] s3b`: Messages from the kernel. [00:03] What's weirdin' me out is my xchat hasn't lost connection yet while everything else has [00:05] Okay so i was wrong, i CAN ping my router. had the wrong IP [00:05] heh, doesn't help [00:06] my kingdom for up to date information about using a displaylink usb monitor. [00:07] can anyone advise how to get ubuntu to open all ports on the lan? [00:07] s3b`: IRC is surprisingly resilient, and the combination of being able to use a long lasting tcp connection and not needing to query DNS often often helps it last through a lot of networking issues. [00:07] LarsN, last i heard in here was they dident work with newer kernels. (not looked into them lately) [00:07] dibs: easiest method is to disable the firewall, althouth thats not recommended [00:08] s3b`: At any point have you had trouble pinging 8.8.8.8? [00:08] Bodsda: I have and when I nmap the machine from my laptop I get all ports closed still [00:08] dibs: Ubuntu doesn't block any ports by default (though there are also few ports listening for anything). [00:08] Jordan_U: Nope that goes through even when my browsers won't load anything [00:09] dibs: not necessarily - maybe nothing is listening on those ports - not the same thing as being blocked [00:09] Bodsda: how can I determine if I can access a port remotely then? [00:09] s3b`: Then everything is still pointing to DNS, and since xchat knows the ip address of the server you're connected to it doesn't ever need to do another DNS request for it. [00:09] dibs: telnet to it [00:09] dibs: What is your end goal? [00:10] Just trying to get vnc, samba, daap etc working in my house [00:10] dibs, install the services and they should work on the local lan. [00:11] unless you specifically have firewall rules blocking them [00:12] Dr_willis: I orginally set everything like that, and for years it has worked but something has changed and now it's like my boxed is firewalled on everythingn but port 22 [00:12] Jesus, just remembered, I need to set a sFTP server [00:12] I'm a heavy torrent guy, what's the best torrent client for ubuntu? [00:13] !best [00:13] Usually, there is no single "best" application to perform a given task. It's up to you to choose, depending on your preferences, features you require, and other factors. Do NOT take polls in the channel. If you insist on getting people's opinions, ask BestBot in #ubuntu-bots. [00:13] utorrent even has a linux port now. but it only has a web interface [00:14] Dr_willis: webui FTW [00:14] where can I get help with tarball driver install instead if being told to read mor things online that do not work, real help [00:14] Jordan_U: Ever find anything of interest in my paste? [00:15] I have used rutorrent, it was actually pretty cool, but a pain to setup [00:15] ppcblaster, This tar from someone right? [00:15] qBittorrent [00:15] Dr_willis: I just telnet to my vnc port 5900 and it was unable to connect, timeout, any suggestions? [00:15] i wonder in utorrent will work in wine. hmmm [00:15] Please I want an Ubuntu kernel with ipv6 removed. [00:16] johnjohn1011, it can. but it has a native linux port. [00:16] removed ? o-0 [00:16] johnjohn1011: it's actually not good [00:16] heneusl_pay, You can disable it in grub. [00:16] johnjohn1011: you rather go with linux clients [00:16] yeah I see it's in alpha [00:16] i just use transmission. works fine [00:16] johnjohn1011: alpha port would probably work better then wine [00:17] heneusl_pay, http://www.ubuntugeek.com/how-to-disable-ipv6-in-ubuntu.html [00:17] Last time I heard you needed an old version to work with wine, like really dated [00:18] johnjohn1011: I would use qbittorrent, it is very very similar. [00:18] yes from pcie card pve manufacturer written for my ubuntu 12.10 and I can't find a readme or install but make is in one of the folders, it is uncompressed, tried chmos ./configure nothing works I am missing something [00:18] pvr [00:18] rypervenche: similar to what? [00:18] mizifih: To utorrent, sorry. [00:18] rypervenche: hum... [00:18] I made the switch and I haven't gone back. [00:19] transmission is actually good, but I don't think it's suitable for heavy use [00:19] like lots of torrents on queue [00:20] LOL [00:20] Youtube was not working properly on my computer when I was using Windows [00:20] Now on ubuntu I can watch 720p [00:20] LOL [00:20] mizifih: Move to Gentoo and you'll be able to watch 1080p :) [00:20] seriously? [00:20] rypervenche: problem with windows was flash not using the GPU, I believe [00:21] NetworkManager in sys/log: Does this mean anything: http://hastebin.com/gepecagini.xml [00:22] the world according to rypervenche [00:22] mizifih: I'm not going to actually get into, otherwise people here won't like it, but yeah. On my little EeePC I've only been able to watch 1080p videos with Gentoo. Done talking about it though ^^ [00:22] rypervenche: this setting is pretty similar to a EeePC, it's one of those APU [00:22] ATI [00:23] E350 with Radeon HD 6300 [00:23] pretty decent to surf, storage and regular stuff [00:24] oin #drupal-support [00:24] Except I'm using a SSD to make things a little faster [00:24] make wonders! [00:24] ssd may be the best thing to happen to desktops in quite some time [00:24] i lost my root pass but i have kvm axx can i reset it#/ [00:24] how fast is ubuntu booting up with one? [00:24] anyone/ [00:24] ? [00:25] eww E350 [00:25] my 13.04 box boots with ssd in less time then it takes me to walk to my chair and sit down. ;) [00:25] i'm running ubuntu 12.10 on ssd [00:25] supertough: its basicaly being used for download, storage, web and watch my 720p TV with xbmc [00:25] get the job done [00:25] boot about the same as windows 7 [00:26] ugh [00:26] And saved me some money with the electric bill, LOL [00:26] Litecoin_Messiah, root or user password in lsb_release -a [00:26] Like a lot [00:26] I still have my gaming PC [00:26] arg no one is active in bumblebee [00:26] but i have found sumamt else out [00:27] lspci -vk is saying my nvidia car has !!! Unknown header type 7f [00:27] high [00:27] low [00:27] wilee-nilee, its a remote server i only got kvm [00:27] wilee-nilee: no lsb modules are available [00:28] are there network cards that require 64bit? i upgraded a Dell Inspiron from 12.04 to 13.04 n now theres no WiFi, I installed the recommended STA driver through Software Updater but i stills gots no wifi [00:28] supertough: I'm using SSD on 13.04, boot faster then Win7 here [00:28] mizifih: how fast? [00:28] wifi worked on 12.04 64bit, not working on 13.04 32bit [00:28] johnjohn1011: srsly, seconds LOL [00:29] bios info takes like three times more [00:29] hehehe [00:29] and them comes grub [00:29] after grub, it takes like ten seconds [00:29] i still cannot make any update or significant download since it says that the network is unreachable [00:29] but my system is pretty clean [00:29] SunStar, 64 to 32 bit is not a upgrade but a fresh install, run lspci i terminal and identify wifi. [00:29] is there any way I could debug this issue [00:29] or at least conclude its a day of heavy traffic for ubuntu [00:30] yeah i did, wilee-nilee [00:30] semantics >_< [00:30] why install an OS version that doesnt match your hardware ? [00:31] I've been using 64-bit since I can't remember [00:31] even windows [00:31] just a test run on a thumbdrive before i commit to 13.04 [00:31] SunStar: I just finish setting mine [00:32] still running 32 bit here. upgraded from 10.10 -> 12.04 [00:32] SunStar: just sFTP, sickbeard and ZNC to get it done [00:32] any way i just wanna rule that possibility out. do some WNICS require 64bit drivers? [00:32] 101 Network is Unreachable this is the error code that I am getting :/ [00:32] hi all [00:32] SunStar So you have done nothing really. [00:32] i need some help [00:32] I don't recommend 32-bit, even if you don't have 4Gb RAM [00:33] mpow im using ubuntu 12.04 from live cd - my HDD is dead [00:33] so i need to know jhow can I restart X11 server with normal configuration of Unity 3D? [00:33] i ran lspci say it listed, looking up the result to see if it works, internet claims its compatible with 12 (which i already know) and i installed the STA driver from Additional Drivers [00:33] 0% [Connecting to archive.ubuntu.com (32.1.6.124)] [00:33] is this the proper IP [00:34] 32.1.6.124 for ubuntu's archives? [00:34] \join #ubuntu-ru [00:34] sunstar what is your wifi? [00:34] about to go back to working on it, just wanted to get that 1 question answered, does 32bit VS. 64bit OS matter for broadcom wifi adapter [00:34] ill get back to ya in a bit when im in front of the machine [00:34] sunstar uninstall the sta and put back the b43 driver. I had the same issue [00:36] cyberman, see if for a newly made user - if unity3d works for them. [00:36] sunstar remove bcmwl-kernel-source and then reload the firmware-b43-installer [00:36] cyberman, if it does. then you can remove whatever .config/setting files in the problem users home may be cuasing the issues [00:37] Dr_willis i\m using Live CD [00:37] my HDD is dead [00:37] so there is the task: [00:37] relaunch X11 after drivers installed [00:38] with workable Unity [00:38] i wouldnt use unity if u dont have a hard drive [00:39] cyberman, you are installing the drivers On a Live cd? [00:39] cyberman, if you could boot into a terminal and do startx, that would work but i haven't done that for years. [00:39] cyberman, Might be easier with a usb and persistence. [00:39] ^ [00:39] or do you mean a live-USB > [00:39] or install to a USB thumbdrive [00:39] you can do a full install to a usb flash drive and install stuff like you would to a HD installed system [00:39] i mean Live CD [00:40] is it possible to boot a live cd to the terminal and do a startx? just curious. [00:40] installing extra drivers on a live-cd i imagine are not going to work. [00:40] now i have cd only [00:40] ive had a hard time getting nvidia drivers working on a Live-USB in the past.. not tried it recently. [00:41] you will need something you can format as ext2 to run as your persistence if you wanna run from CD [00:41] i have done it, its possble, at least with ati [00:41] kernel changes are a bit tough on a live usb [00:42] yeah i say ur better off doing a fresh install onto a thumbdrive [00:42] anything good like top i can use for monitoring [00:42] i need to restart server fully [00:42] what do u guys use mainly [00:42] Hi guys. I need help from you guys. [00:42] can't he hit some keys to stop the x session and go to terminal? [00:42] just restart x11 with unity [00:43] now i installing latest nvidia drivers [00:43] My laptop is (from factory) Win 8. I had a BSoD loop with it and while i was waiting for my recovery disk, i decided to install ubuntu. Well, i resized the HD, installed (advanced mode) and then, installed a update. Well, after that, I had a problem. Decided to re-install Ubuntu, made the mistake to allow it to erase ALL my HD. Now i am trying to recover my personal data. Using Testdisk, i can find the partitions (all ones) but d [00:43] cyberman what happens in the live cd if you logout? [00:44] hmm... [00:44] trying to log out, then wait some time and then... [00:44] ok [00:44] drivers are installed [00:44] rafaelloest, Call the manufactuere and get the oem reinstall discs [00:45] i have them, but i need to recover my personal data first... [00:45] there need to restart whole x11 server [00:45] rafaelloest: Your message was cut off at "i can find the partitions (all ones) but d". [00:46] on a live cd - he could try 'sudo service lightdm restart' [00:46] i can find the partitions (all ones) but dont know what to do. [00:46] thx [00:46] Is there a reason my computer's webcam receives power momentarily while it's booting up on ubuntu? [00:46] Rallias: it is just Linus Thorvald taking a picture of you [00:46] dont know if i can post link, but if i can, i cant take a screenshot of the screen i am and put a link here [00:47] rafaelloest, Go for it. [00:47] cybermon: i found this http://www.linuxquestions.org/questions/ubuntu-63/how-i-enabled-nvidias-drivers-in-ubuntu-9-10-livecd-and-restarted-x-767352/ [00:47] lolbat, I don't appreciate that sort of joke. === uno is now known as Thorby [00:47] i sort of remember doing this a while back. you to an init 3 in a command window as root and then when you get to the terminal, you do an init 5 [00:48] oo I missed something [00:48] ok, 1 sec. sending it to this PC and uploading it [00:49] is there a way to top only by specific process name? [00:50] here: http://uploadnow.org/image/346806-ubuntu_err.jpeg === derp is now known as qreb [00:50] Rallias, i imagine its the module getting loaded [00:51] what does it mean when apt-get says apt-extracttemplates no such file or directory and can see it in /usr/bin ? o.O [00:51] anew htop is more interactive === chalced is now known as chalcedony [00:52] rafaelloest: your time is wrong [00:52] i am using a live USB [00:53] (i am not in the installed version) [00:53] my BSoD loop started before the ubuntu. [00:53] Okay [00:55] Rallias: it does a quick chek if something is (connected) there [00:55] hmm... [00:55] if i ctl-C out of htop does that close it or is it still running ? [00:56] same with keyboard + mouse Rallias [00:56] But its quick though [00:56] guys? Anybody? [00:56] what do you mean all 1's [00:57] ctrl-c normally kills a cli app [00:58] ok [00:58] im back [00:59] Still dont knowing what to do... [01:00] rafaelloest: about what [01:00] rafaelloest, I would try the ##windows channel as it is a windows recovery, they may have some ideas. [01:01] there is problem: after I restart the serevr, Welcom window appeared. OK. Top bar is shown. Ok. When I trying to push "Try ubuntu" buttin - desktop loaded. But without top bar and dashboard [01:01] Well, the windows is not the problem, the problem is the data. (and i can only acess the HD by ubuntu). [01:01] rafaelloest, You overwrote the ntfs, how long did you run ubuntu if at all? [01:01] So there only 2 shortcuts - examples and install [01:02] hai guise [01:02] wilee-nilee. I just booted it. === alto is now known as ohir [01:03] When i saw it i turned it off and booted the live USB [01:03] rafaelloest: Allow testdisk to write the new parition table out and see what data you can access (but mount the ntfs partition read only). [01:04] rafaelloest, Problem here is that nobody seems to have a fix for you here now, may not be one from linux and testdisk per-say, I would talk with windows users just to have more info is all. [01:04] there are recovery tools specifically for windows [01:04] Jordan_U, how i can do this? [01:04] did you try the L option, load backup ( if there is a shadow) [01:04] wilee, i dont have acess to windows [01:05] but didn't you say you can see the data (all 1's) whatever that means [01:05] OerHeks. None of then have backup. [01:06] i can see the old partitions [01:06] rafaelloest, Yes, but I suspect live a live disc to run testdisc there are windows recovery apps from a live disc or bootable disc. I would just look for more options is all. [01:06] rafaelloest: you can download demo windows to use for few days. [01:06] like* [01:07] rafaelloest: Try selecting a partition that you want to recover and press 'A'. [01:07] the problem is that i dont have a external HD. (right now) [01:07] [i need to put i in the HD (for some time)... [01:08] rafaelloest: are these files too large for a USB stick [01:08] i need to change from D to something else or i can leave them there? [01:08] too much files... [01:08] ok [01:08] (made the mistake of leaving to much important things together) [01:08] understood (been there) [01:09] rafaelloest: Always have backups of important files. [01:09] Jordan. Now i know... [01:09] was thinking gparted could copy the partition [01:10] gparted dont see these partitions... [01:10] just the actual one... [01:10] (the one that i made the mistake to let ubuntu make...) [01:10] rafaelloest: you have hard drive now [01:10] rafaelloest: The most sane way to recover these files is by copying them to another drive. Can you get another drive? [01:11] now i cant... [01:11] rafaelloest: Can you wait to recover the files / use the computer (other than via LiveUSB) until you can? [01:11] in 2 days (06/05) i will [01:11] so you had begun the ubuntu install, than cancelled somewhere after partitions were created and others erased? [01:12] i dont want to use the computer because i am afraid of fucking up (again) [01:12] rafaelloest: Please watch your language. [01:12] bretayd, no. I dont cancelled. I just saw this after it installed. [01:12] Jordan. Sorry. [01:13] is it possible to re-enable the shortcut keys at the top of my keyboard? the ones for adjusting brightness and sound and such? i don't want to have to keep adjusting it in the system settings. [01:13] is there a way to check if you have any kde runtime dependent apps installed in xfce? I should like to make a clean sweep of mah system. [01:13] rafaelloest: you claim you dont have windows how did you partitions end up ntfs [01:13] It came from factory with Windows 8 installed. [01:13] Biomechd: check your bios, there is at times a setting there [01:13] I dont have it now. [01:14] ntzrmtthihu777: can i do that without rebooting my laptop? [01:14] the ubuntu installation erased it... [01:14] ntzrmtthihu777, In playing around are desktop lists up to 12.10 as of now. http://www.psychocats.net/ubuntu/ [01:14] rafaelloest: Then wait until you have another drive. Testdisk has multiple options for recovering files from "deleted" partitions, some of which will just dump files and others which will change the partition table and let you try to mount it. What you choose depends on how badly corrupted the filesystem is (from having been partially overwritten by another FS) and how selective you want to be in the files you save. [01:14] anyone here familiar with ruby or FSEvent? having issues under ubuntu: https://gist.github.com/zivester/5519099 [01:15] is possible to save everything possible? [01:15] rafaelloest: what are you trying to recover then. Windows8! [01:15] the data. the os i can recover after... [01:15] the most important is the data [01:16] rafaelloest: Yes (for a somewhat lose definition of "possible"). [01:16] now i just care about the data. My personal data... [01:16] rafaelloest: data like personal files. [01:16] Jordan. Everything tesdisk can. [01:16] so try not to touch it in the meantime? [01:17] Yes. Music, photos, projects, etc [01:17] rafaelloest: are you using a partition recovery program? [01:17] betrayd. Exact what i am doing. [01:17] rafaelloest: can you mount the partition where data is [01:17] John. Testdisk (live Ubuntu 13.04) [01:18] no, it is a deleted partition... [01:18] (by what Testdisk tells) [01:18] rafaelloest: Yes. Understand that there are two ways that testdisk can try to recover files though, via restoring the parititon table and reading from the FS and by basically grepping for files byte by byte ignoring the filesystem. If you do both then you'll get duplicates of a lot of files (and with the photorec grepping stategy you might not get filenames). [01:19] if the photos are recovered, filenames i can do it manually, [01:19] rafaelloest: did you try this http://www.vimxsoft.com/partition-recovery/ [01:20] wilee-nilee: I've just installed a package or two (then removed) that used kde. I just needa know if there is a way to tell if any app you have requires the kde libs [01:20] john. Not yet. [01:20] is usb/cd/dvd bootable? [01:20] or i have to install it? [01:21] johnjohn1011: rafaelloest: It looks like that tool doesn't do anything that testdisk can't, and Testdisk is Free, has a good reputation, and is available for GNU/Linux. [01:21] ntzrmtthihu777, Not sure to be honest. [01:21] rafaelloest: you can download windows while running ubuntu live. Burn to dvd then reinstall windowz. Then like someone else said. Use windows recoveryprogrsm [01:22] no problem jordan_u: I will follow along [01:22] Smith. I dont want to mess with the HD. I know that there is a limit that can be recovered. [01:22] rafaelloest: use serial for windowd on sticker on side machine to re register windows [01:22] i cant boot windows... [01:23] the disks you got from oem, are they recovery discs that search for rescue partition? [01:23] urg. i told unsettings i want my dash to go back to autohide after resetting last night (unity decided to crash the panel and the dash after giving me some login issues) and it's not autohiding. [01:23] * wilee-nilee thinks someone needs to unload the smith_wesson [01:23] rafaelloest: why don't you buy another hard drive, reload windows on that and then see if that exe can find those deleted partitions [01:23] no. i have a driver disc and a system disc. [01:23] ok [01:24] rafaelloest: did you check geek squad to see what they might say? worth a shot. [01:24] i am more inclined to use testdisk... it sems better. [01:24] geek squad? who? [01:25] best buy or some other disk recovery professional [01:25] in a Sunday? [01:25] rafaelloest: the geek squad is a tech support company who will come out to your house and fix your tv or other electronic if you need them to. or you can call and get help over the phone. [01:26] i dont they can help me where i live... [01:26] Biomechd, Have you rebooted since the havoc? [01:26] Or you go find some young kid :) [01:26] i dont think* [01:26] do you have any back up harddrive [01:26] i wish i had... [01:27] so this is a one time shot, if you screw up, it's curtains right? [01:27] Dr_willis: got a new 3TB HDD for storage (personal files, media, etc.) However I do use Windows to dual boot as well. I was thinking of Partitioning the entire 3TB in ext4, but I am afraid it might bite me back in the long run. Any thoughts? [01:27] hey my mousewheel scrolling is jumpy. What can i do to fix this? It just started after one of the recent updates about a month ago. [01:27] if you had a spare HD. you could 'dd' the bad hd to the spare. then try to recovery the original [01:27] yes... this is why i want some help. [01:27] wilee-nilee: i've fixed the crashed unity panel/dash already. i just can't get the dash to autohide. and i'm still having an issue with the hotkeys at the top of my keyboard not working. [01:27] rafaelloest: If you come back in a few days with your new HD to backup to I can walk you through using testdisk to recover your files. [01:27] i will buy a exeternal HD. [01:27] shape, depends on what you are keeping on the hd. and if you want to accessit from windows. If so. use ntfs [01:28] dr_willis: good advice [01:28] Biomechd, Compiz needs a reload at times, a reboot can do this easiest, have you done that? [01:28] Dr_willis: yeah :(, but NTFS fragmentation for 3TB, that's why I was considering ext4 [01:28] Jordan_U. What are the times you are on? (in UTC ?) [01:28] Dr_willis: imagine defragmenting that... :( [01:28] shape, above 2 tb is gpt [01:28] hey my mousewheel scrolling is jumpy. Does anyone know what package handles mouse input so I can maybe try a backport? [01:29] UTC 0* [01:29] why not partition it up and then use mount to load the partitions? useless you need it all in one partition. [01:29] wilee-nilee: so rebooting will fix the dash issue, but i've rebooted my laptop several times since the hotkeys decided to crash again and they haven't been re-enabled. [01:29] I'm interested in running multiple linux distros and Windows in VMs. What is the fastest method that is recommended for the desktop? I don't care how easy it is to set up or use. [01:29] wilee-nilee: Yeah but how would that affect me? [01:29] hey guys, i got 12.04 and a kernel dependency problem, i have a newer kernel and 'linux-generic' depends on an older kernel. specifically: linux-generic depends on linux-image-generic (3.2.0.37.44) however the version of linux-image-generic is 3.2.0.41.49 ... how do i break out of this? i can't install anything :( [01:30] shape, You have to work within that framework is all. [01:30] john. This will mess with the HD. i really dont want do that... (too scared) [01:30] Biomechd, Not sure of any definitive fixes. [01:30] tocsick, usually psmouse [01:31] help [01:31] varun thanks [01:31] rafaelloest, I'm way to late into this, but have you considered using like redobackup and making an image of the disk as it stands now, so you can always go back to it? Ignore me, if this has been covered... [01:31] 中文 [01:31] rafaelloest: that was for someone else. yeah, i would follow that advice. clone to another hd and then have an expert walk you through [01:31] shape, I would guess that you have hd's tied together is all. [01:31] pleasure! [01:31] !cn | Varazir [01:31] Varazir: 如欲獲得中文的協助，請輸入 /join #ubuntu-cn 或 /join #ubuntu-tw [01:31] varun_, ^^^^ [01:31] wilee-nilee: i can use the f1-f12 on those keys (as their secondary function), but i can't use the primary functions. [01:32] redobackup? [01:32] if i can do image of 1TB disk in a 1TB external disk, i can try. [01:32] http://redobackup.org/ it works amazingly well, free, easy to use linux backup solution [01:32] wilee-nilee: wait, what do you mean by that I'm not that familiar with GUID, what I thought was just fire up parted and create the 3TB NTFS parition. And then I'd be done. Is there more to that? [01:32] wilee-nilee, ?? [01:33] (1TB external is the one i can buy) [01:33] varun, I don't have psmouse installed, also can't find the package at all [01:33] varun_, sorry meant to point the foriegn language info at jiangfuqiao [01:33] rafaelloest, the image will only be the size of the data you're trying to backup. 1tb disk with 500gb will create a 500gb image [01:33] guessed that :) wilee-nilee [01:33] ah. [01:34] rafaelloest: I'm not certain, but Monday and Tuesday likely 19:00 to 4:00 (the next "morning"). [01:34] rafaelloest: sounds good to me. and you get a 1tb hard drive out of it!! [01:34] tocsick, let's see your pastebin link to output of lsmod then.. [01:34] shape, I would just be wary myself, however I am not familiar with gpt, and tied HD's, maybe it is as easy as you describe. [01:34] but brian, will this program save the "deleted" partitions too? [01:35] varun http://pastebin.com/5ByXLkke [01:35] rafaelloest, ahh sorry, I may have missed that part, just sat down at my computer. I think it will only backup partitions it sees. [01:35] rafaelloest: If you use dd you can make a full image of the drive. [01:36] it includes parted and some other utils that might help you === ohir_ is now known as ohir [01:36] or you could use it as a live cd to use dd [01:36] dd? [01:36] well i suppose i'll reboot and see what's different [01:37] tocsick, you do have psmouse in there. [01:37] wilee-nilee: yeah, I remember when installing Gentoo they talked about larger than 2TB and all you have to do extra is mklabel gtp http://www.gentoo.org/doc/en/handbook/handbook-x86.xml?chap=4&part=1#parted [01:37] varun, lol, i saw it once I had posted the pastebin link. What's the name of the package though? I can't find psmouse or ps-mouse, etc in synapitc [01:37] will clonezilla work for rafaelloest i just used it to clone a drive and it was dirt simple (my kind of program) [01:38] What is DD? [01:38] rafaelloest, it can be used for cloning, 'dd if/dev/sda of=/dev/sdb bs=32M' if is the source, of is the target [01:38] im not sure clonezilla will work right with a drive hes trying to recovery. [01:38] hes sort of un-deleteing it ;) [01:38] just asking. dd sounds like the best way [01:38] johnjohn1011, clonezilla will work with valid partitions [01:38] rafael, are you wanting to backup a parti whose parti info was deleted? [01:39] tocsick, it is built in kernel driver, comes with the kernel itself. You seem to be using usbhid as well, it is usually for usb mouse [01:39] brian____: But if you use that command and you have let's say 400GB to clone, will it show some progress bar? I'm sure that will take hours/. [01:39] what is dd? [01:39] doesn't rafaelloest have to create the partitions on the external hdd first? [01:39] rafael, brian, using dd will require all the unused space for a total of 1TB [01:39] dd is a way to copy partitions [01:39] wangchong: trying to undelet it. [01:39] !info dd [01:39] Package dd does not exist in raring [01:40] duhh [01:40] johnjohn1011: No, they can save the disk image as a file on another filesystem. [01:40] shape, I would expect it to run over night but top could give you status, not position really... 'watch vmstat -d' [01:40] varun, yeah it's a usb mouse I've having problems with. The scroll wheel response is jumpy (rapid up and down when you're only scrolling in one direction). Consistent in every app I run. If I use e-17 the problem stops, but I don't want to use e-17 as my window manager [01:41] wanchong, well i will have a clen 1TB external HD. [01:41] rafaelloest: do you remember its old boundaries? [01:42] also use dump, dd takes forever [01:42] wangchong, yes, my previous recommendation was to create an image using a seperate tool, which wouldn't work in his case. [01:42] dump only makes something the size of used data [01:42] no (relatively new to ubuntu) [01:42] dump probably wont work either if parti table messed up [01:42] tocsick, there is a command that can let you get/set every aspect of a pointer device, can't remember its name though (used only once a few days ago). [01:42] wangchong: This is for an ntfs filesystem, and one whose partiton has been deleted and partially overwritten, making dump not really a viable option. [01:43] i dont care it takes forever. If it recover my personal data its ok for me. [01:43] my bad [01:44] if you can remember old boundaries you can use fdisk to redefine partis [01:44] varun is it tpconfig? [01:44] brian____: but clonezilla would give you some progress bar correct? [01:44] or you could brute force boundaries and try to mount, maybe script that [01:44] wangchong: We already have found the boundaries using testdisk. [01:45] shape, I'm not familiar with clonezilla, but redoback does, I assume clonezilla would as well. However, I don't know what it does to create the image, it might use dump. [01:45] wilee-nilee: dash still won't autohide. [01:45] brian____: and why would that be bad? [01:45] Biomechd, I have no real answer here. [01:45] then can you plug them into fdisk and make that problem go away? [01:46] the boundary info [01:46] well, dump is byte by byte, and creates an image but is going to need a valid partition table, where dd isn't going to care [01:46] oh well. i'll just have to get used to having my blender workspace reduced somewhat for a while. [01:46] but you gonna have to care sometime, like when you want to use the parti [01:46] tocsick, recalled it - "xinput --set-prop" (already remembered xinput, lol). But take a careful look at man xinput first [01:47] brian____: I see :) [01:47] if anyone comes up with a solution to either of my problems, let me know. i'll be working on stuff in blender. [01:47] dump is block level copy [01:49] dump do not copy byte per byte correct? [01:49] but it still needs valid parti like you said [01:49] tocsick, for example, 'xinput' command gives my touchpad id as '11'. Then I can use 'xinput --list-props 11' to see its settings that I can set with '--set-prop' [01:50] can't you use fdisk to save parti boundaries like you know them, save it, check if it mounts, then use clonezilla or dump or whatever? [01:50] Hello [01:51] thanks varun, I'll get this figured out. It's driving me crazy [01:51] I need help [01:51] I have a Broadcom Corporation BCM4312 802.11b/g LP-PHY (rev 01) wifi adapter that worked with 12.xx, not working under 13.04. can i get some help with it? i in additional drivers there was a mention of it not working and recommended i install the STA driver. after reboot, still no WiFi [01:51] !Broadcom| scarecrow_ Have you looked here. [01:51] scarecrow_ Have you looked here.: Help with Broadcom bcm43xx can be found at https://help.ubuntu.com/community/WifiDocs/Driver/bcm43xx [01:51] Is anyone else experiencing extremely high CPU usage after the last 12.04.2 kernel updates? [01:53] What is the best way to remove duplicate images? [01:53] I switched from 12.10 to LTS for the stability a while ago, and have been really pleased with that move. [01:53] lolbat: if they are literal digital duplicates fdupes is wonderful. [01:53] lolbat: can you explain your situation a bit more? [01:54] lolbat: if they only *look* the same, then no. Unless of course you are not talking about literal image files XD [01:54] rafaelloest, if it were me, I would get another 1tb drive, dd the disks, unplug one, and then try whatever someone smarter than I would recommend. I just want you to have what you have now. I so very often think I'm making a small change, and it causes me hours of work. So I'm extremely pro backup at the moment... === matthew_ is now known as Guest34570 [01:55] I'm trying to choose virtualization software for a laptop. Should I choose Xen or KVM? I'm planning on running various Linux distros and Windows. [01:55] rosco_y: I have like, 50k images in random folders, some of those images are the same exact file with diffrent names [01:56] iBelieve, what will you do with windows? [01:56] lolbat: sudo apt-get install fdupes [01:56] FUCK YALL UBUNTU SUCKS [01:56] Treaver, Outline the problem for the channel. [01:56] iBelieve, Do you ever plan on having a standard boot OS? [01:56] ntzrmtthihu777: it works on folders? === kiyoura` is now known as kiyoura [01:56] ~matthew@c-98-201-37-15.hsd1.tx.comcast.net [01:56] ntzrmtthihu777: like recursive [01:56] lolbat: Then run fdupes -R -dn . from the top layer folder. [01:57] compdoc, run some programming software and such. No games at all. [01:57] lolbat: check on the web, but I think digikam will search for duplicates, and allow you to delete them--although it might be a tedious, manual process (I've never actually used it--I've seen it somewhere) [01:57] ntzrmtthihu777: thanks, that saves me a lot of time [01:57] iBelieve, is video speed important? [01:57] brian____, what do you mean? My main OS installed on the laptop is Ubuntu. [01:57] digikam is a pretty hoirrble piece of software except from for tagging faces [01:57] lolbat: yup. I ran it and killed 20gb of pdf's to 11 [01:58] asdasd [01:58] ntzrmtthihu777: what does it do to the duplicates? [01:58] rm? [01:58] thanks for the help guys. I will enter here again when i have the External HD. [01:58] lolbat: I'm not what you call a digikam user, but I've noticed that google's picassa blows digicams face recognition out of the water [01:59] lolbat: I suppose that would be what it does, the -d flag delets and -n does it without asking permission. if you don't do -n it askes what you want to keep from each set. [01:59] so if you have 5 identical images, you can choose which of the 5 you want to keep, 1 or more. [01:59] the point is to just have one of each, I assume it will result in empty folders tho [02:00] compdoc, Not really sure. I won't be running software that displays a lot of graphics or videos, but I would like the VM to not be jerky for regular usage. [02:00] hi, how can I upgrade ubuntu 12.04 to 13.04 from the update manager? [02:00] I"m thinking of switching from 12.04 LTS to 12.10 or 13.04. Does anyone have recommendations--should I clean install or upgrade? [02:00] rtcg72a, Through 12.10 [02:00] rosco_y: I prefer clean installs once in a while [02:00] lolbat: yeah, it can, depending on how the images are arranged. -R -nd will delete all but one, no clue as to the choosing algorhythm [02:01] compdoc, I've run Ubuntu in VirtualBox before, and with no apps running in it, it tends to be jerky and slow, which I don't want. [02:01] rosco_y: clean install if you must, stick with precise till raring settles a bit is my advice. [02:01] wilee-nilee: so I have to upgrade to 12.10 then upgrade to 13.04? [02:01] lolbat: I agree too, it's nice to have a clean slate. [02:01] rtcg72a: yup. you can go directly between lts versions, however. [02:01] iBelieve, Ive been using KVM for years. I used Xen before that. With kvm, you install doing this simple thing: sudo apt-get install qemu-kvm qemu-system-x86 virt-manager [02:02] rosco_y: copying settings is also easy [02:02] I actually backed off of 12.10 to 12.04 awhile back, for stability reasons. [02:02] rtcg72a: so you can go lucid > precise > 14.04 [02:02] rosco_y, I did that too. I find 13.04 is pretty good tho [02:02] rtcg72a, From the update manager yes, overall I believe as well, a fresh install though with a saved dpkg list of the 12.04 and any 3rd party repos will have you set if the 3rd parties are releasing 13.04 stuff. [02:02] rtcg72a: (not that 14.04 exists yet) [02:03] !cloning | rtcg72a [02:03] rtcg72a: To replicate your packages selection on another machine (or restore it if re-installing), you can type « aptitude --display-format '%p' search '?installed!?automatic' > ~/my-packages », move the file "my-packages" to the other machine, and there type « sudo xargs aptitude --schedule-only install < my-packages ; sudo aptitude install » (this may cause problems with multiarch before 12.10) - See also !automate [02:03] compdoc: ty. maybe I'll give that a try. the last kernel upgrade in 12.04 is giving my CPU a workout. I'm pretty sure they'd get it fixed if I patiently waited...but that doesn't sound much like me. [02:04] hi... I'm trying to use input, however whenever I try to hit enter, it's sending ^M instead of enter. How can I fix this? [02:04] iBelieve, I was just wondering on your workload, like if you planned on using the VMs for your entire workflow, or if you were planning on using it more sporadically [02:04] compdoc, Is there a significant speed difference between Xen and KVM? I don't really care how hard it is to set up, as long as it isn't too hard to screw things up and make the system unbootable. [02:04] iBelieve, I think the speed is the same, but xen requires a modded kernel that gets installed [02:05] brian____, Mostly Ubuntu, just the VMs when I want to tinker with a different distro or run a Windows-only program. [02:05] tshauck, clarify what you mean by 'use input' ^m is ctrl-m which is the enter key. ;) [02:05] iBelieve, I rarely virtualize on my laptop, so I have virtualbox here since its dead simple and run a seperate esxi host for full time use [02:06] compdoc, So if speed is the same, is there any other major reason to choose Xen instead of KVM, since KVM is easy to set up? [02:06] iBelieve, you'll need to ask a xen expert. Be interesting to know [02:08] compdoc, brian____ I'll probably just use KVM. Thanks for your help! [02:09] anyone know how to debug being kicked back to X Login screen? [02:09] iBelieve, sorry, I don't have any more input. I do know that people choose xen for stability reasons. I have no idea if that is valid or not, but if you're not running vm's for hours on end, I wouldn't think it would matter even if it were true. [02:09] i think i'm in update hell ;( i have a newer kernel than what my kernel says it depends on.. and now nothing updates, please help :) [02:10] iBelieve, once you install, you have to log out, then back in [02:11] compdoc, Yep, I've seen the instructions on help.ubuntu.com/community. [02:12] compdoc, I've been using an LVM partition for data. Would I get better performance using LVM partions for the OS virtual storage, and is this even possible? [02:13] iBelieve, I use a seperate, fast drive to put the VM files on [02:13] How do I remove the grub menu completely and use the Windows 8 Menu [02:13] brian____, Thanks for the info. It's nice to know stuff like that. [02:14] How do I remove the grub menu completely and use the Windows 8 Menu [02:14] compdoc, Okay, thanks. [02:18] Treaver, which OS did you install first? [02:19] i have a TP-link which works with rtl8192cu driver, lsmod, modprobe -l, lsusb, lspci all show the driver, however i cannot see the card with iwconfig, any idea what i can try? [02:20] it's a wireless dongle [02:20] Treaver, also consider that since w8 is a graphical boot loader you're loading extra stuff at boot to just throw it away. all for the second of so of eye candy [02:20] zivester, if you mena you login at lightdm. and it exits back to lightdm. check the permissions/ownership of your .Xauthority file in the users home (use the consoel to do this) it may be owned by root by mistake [02:21] hello.every ubuntuer [02:21] im on ubuntu 12.10 [02:21] o3u, does it tell you no wireless extensions, or the card isnt listed? [02:21] samson: you.greetings [02:21] brian____: its just not listed [02:22] what? [02:22] ok- can someone explain why i can not transfer files greater than 4.0gb via samba [02:22] seriously please [02:22] this is pissin gme off [02:22] subcool: because they are huge?

[02:29] brian____: http://pastebin.com/Up9WXXcx it's a TP-link TL-WN725N [02:29] I'll be honest, about 7 days ago, I had 4 usb wifi dongles, none of them truly supported, but some got them to work. I bought one that was official supported, after a few days of tinkering. I wish I would have avoided the tinkering [02:30] actually, 'lsusb' [02:30] brian____: :/ i read a whole bunch of posts from people that got em working and everything seems to load the driver but it's not working http://pastebin.com/eiB94T6v [02:31] arg. i went into ccsm and told it to disable alt-lmb for moving windows around and i still can't deselect anything in blender because it's not registering that i disabled the mouse shortcut to move windows (which conflicts with blender's keyboard method of deselecting in group select) [02:32] o3u, I had a netgear that uses the same realtek chip, I couldn't get it to work. Well, I got it to work, but it was so buggy, I would go to sleep with it working, wake up with no device, I wouldn't use the ndiswrapper though. [02:34] brian____: did you have a similar problem to mine? dongle not showing in iwconfig? [02:35] Is there an expose/ Mission Control replacement for ubuntu [02:36] o3u, honestly, I had everything single problem I could come up with. I'm quite sure, I read every page pertaining to the netgear adapter that exists on the internet. I kept thinking it was my wpa_supplicant.conf. Since when I got it working, I could associate to the AP without it failing so often. It was all the driver. [02:36] *couldn't [02:37] when i try to go to "System Settings > Details" my control panel crashes each time.... anyone know how i can fix this? [02:38] o3u, where you might have more luck, when I installed the realtek propiertary drivers off their site, the module wouldn't associate to the card, maybe yours will easier === e11bits_ is now known as e11bits [02:39] brian____: ya i did that right away, haven't tried ndiswrapper, [02:40] o3u: did that donngle ever work? [02:41] o3u, yah, truthfully, new card is easiest. I switched and bought a pcie1x put it in the machine, booted it up, everything worked within 30 seconds. [02:41] Is there an expose/ Mission Control replacement for ubuntu [02:42] johnjohn1011: i just bought it [02:42] o3u: there is a guy, larry finger, if you look him up on linux wireless, he probably can help. what version of ubuntu are you running?

'sudo dpkg -i file1.deb file2.deb' [02:47] i installed one that claims its the right one (installed by going to launcher -> settings -> printer> add printer. everything installed okay, after restart you print a test page, it says it printed but the printer sits idle like it never got the print job [02:48] have any of you guys made your own pastebin site before?

I don't know if it didn't match the device id it was looking for [02:53] o3u: maybe you an boot up on 13.04 and see if works there [02:53] brian____: hmm ok, [02:53] printer might show 'PC LOAD LETTER' [02:53] i could try, i'd have to reinstall many drivers though no? [02:53] o3u, Like I said though, I don't have any good advice. I wasn't able to get it to work. I tried backports as well, no go. I was able to get it to atleast partially work with the rtl8192cu driver [02:54] o3u, I believe johnjohn1011 was recommending a liveCD since the rtl8192cu is loaded by default there [02:55] ah [02:55] good point i'll try livecd boot is it loaded on 12.10 by default? [02:56] o3u, yes, but an older version. If you tried backports you could try the new module that is in 13.10, but just tryingt live 13.10 is easier === Reina is now known as Guest48491 [02:56] o3u hey think that driver use to work on the old 11.04 ubuntu but i was not able to get it to work on the 12.04 lts [02:57] o3u or newer [02:58] ya, rtl8192cu although included and supported has had some rough years with devices. When I tried a different realtek chipset, it worked like a champ, in 12.04 and 13.10. [02:58] o3u, rtl8192cu is available on all supported versions. However, for some people the proprietary one downloaded and compiled from realtek works better [02:59] o3u i have 2 of them now and have not got them working on the 12.04 [03:00] i asked this earlier but nobody has replied to it. i went into compiz and disabled both window-moving shortcuts so that a window can only be moved if i click on a window's decorations and drag it around. the default shortcut of "alt-lmb" to move a window conflicts with blender's shortcuts to de-select things while using a method of group selection. since i don't use many hotkeys outside of blender, i'd like to disable this shortcut. [03:01] ya, I gave it a solid 4 days of effort. I'm not going to try to convince anyone I'm the smartest guy around, but I gave it one hell of an effort with the few abilities I have, when it finally worked, it wasnt worth the effort since it was buggy as all getout. [03:01] how do i permanently disable all methods of moving a window except for dragging a window's title bar? [03:03] i have installed the driver for my canon pixma mx310 all in one. its a networked printer attached to a windows PC. driver installed, print jobs claim to finish without error, but nothing prints / no reaction from the printer. any ideas? [03:04] prints fine from other windows PCs on the network [03:05] Is there an expose/ Mission Control replacement for ubuntu [03:05] o3u: it seems like that driver should be working with the current linux. it's odd === vinicius is now known as Januarfluss [03:06] johnjohn1011: thats what it seems like and it looks like it loads well too, it just doesn't show anything in iwconfig, maybe i'm missing some configuration there? [03:06] do i have to manually configure iwconfig ? [03:07] is it not showing up in network manager? [03:07] :0 I can't apt-get install anything [03:07] whats the error [03:07] johnjohn1011: no [03:07] o3u: is the device name in this list? http://wiki.debian.org/rtl819x#supported-r8192u-usb [03:07] Unable to fetch [03:08] Hi, I have logged in to a FTP server from browser with my username, does anybody know how can I log in to that FTP server via same browser with different account? because It automatically log me in. [03:08] clear your history [03:09] scarecrow_: I have done this, but did not solve my problem [03:09] johnjohn1011: i dont think so [03:09] did you restart the browser? was the page open when you cleared? [03:09] http://wikidevi.com/wiki/TP-LINK_TL-WN725N_v1 [03:10] Is there any special command like username@ftp://servername.com? [03:10] mojtaba: in the security section of the browser, delete the saved password for the server [03:10] i can't find it in that list of supported usb devices, but i read to try the rt driver [03:10] you can use an FTP client. that would be best [03:10] Hey all. I have a brand new Ubuntu Pangolin Performance laptop from System76. I've tried absolutely everything I could find online solution-wise but I cannot get the audio drivers to work. No sound at all. Any solutions or suggestions? [03:10] o3u, follow the instructions here http://ubuntuforums.org/showpost.php?p=12350385 , post back the pastebin link (sorry I joined the party late, just saw rtl8192cu and jumped in..) [03:11] Silas_, Have you tried the system 76 support at the ubuntu forums? [03:12] I have, I actually just submitted a post on there but I really need audio for tonight so I was wondering if anyone knew anything about this. And sys76 hasn't responded in a week. [03:12] th0r: Thanks, I will check it. [03:12] hulloo? [03:12] Hey. I changed the icon on my desktop for my Home directory and it was a mistake and I can't find one that I can live with. How do I get the old one back? [03:12] o3u: mr finger is usually very prompt on emailing back information. he helped me two weeks ago [03:14] what do i do if my printer is installed but nothing prints?

[03:16] Anyone have any suggestions for the lack of sound issue? [03:16] o3u, on my 12.04, doesn [03:17] doesn't look like your device is supported by rtl8192cu o3u === asd is now known as Guest4837 [03:17] looking for options.. [03:17] o3u, I saw another page that states similar to the johnjohn1011 link that you should use 8188eu.ko [03:17] o3u just tried it agin on my 12.04 not working does not connect right show the router but wont connect [03:18] dakotawulfy, I had the same thing, I was able to get my 8192cu to work, but work is such a vague term, the comp saw it and talked to it, but the device was worthless for connecting to anything, espically at getting an IP [03:20] o3u check out the part with the wireless security part think it has something to do with it i know on the driver disk it does have that part might be able to build it [03:20] well, i'm guessing nobody's able to help me, then. [03:21] urg. [03:21] o3u, I'm all for you to get this to work, and I'll help as much as I can, but there are other $20 cards you could just plug in and work, if you're trying to cnnect to an unsecured AP, you'll have greater success than a WPA [03:21] o3u: if it was me, i'd buy another dongle and send that one to mr. finger and let him debug it. [03:21] Biomechd, sorry, never seen that before and have no ideas for you [03:22] o3u: in his email he says he runs  D-Link DWA-130  [03:22] Hey. I changed the icon on my desktop for my Home directory and it was a mistake and I can't find one that I can live with. How do I get the old one back? [03:23] Would someone here be so kind as to help me get my wifi device unblocked from RF-Kill? [03:23] o3u: plenty of $5-10 dongles that work seamless [03:23] I've tried everything I could find online but no luck. [03:23] johnjohn1011, that was another card I couldn't get to work. :) apparently, revB is rather impossible, earlier cards work [03:23] brian____: ya i'll get another one i guess, probably send it to mr finger [03:23] i have trendnet 649UB and it works great. [03:23] Is there a text only installer for 13.04? [03:23] o3u, can you also post 'modinfo 8192cu' please? [03:24] The graphical installer is giving me trouble [03:24] Dr_willis, I'm actually getting kicked back to the lightdm login screen unexpectedly ... so I want to know where to look to figure out why I'm getting booted [03:24] I can confirm that at least on kernel 3.2.0-36, the device is NOT natively supported o3u [03:25] q [03:25] figured it out. was defaulting to the fax, not printer [03:25] http://pastebin.com/jYAQLgxw [03:26] Quassel IRC client lets you have a monitor pane that monitors traffic from all channels that you're in. Is it possible to do this with any other GUI IRC client? [03:26] ek: have you tried 'sudo rfkill unblock wifi' ? [03:27] o3u, Nope, the proprietary one you have compiled also doesn't support your device, unless I overlooked an 'alias' entry [03:27] phaedra: Yes. Many times. :( I've tried resetting my BIOS, unloading the module, running rfkill unblock [all,wifi,wlan,etc...] and reloading the module... Nothing. [03:27] good evening. anyone know a better cooler for an AMD Phenom II x4 960T? The stock one isn't up to the task. sensors is reporting 50C [03:28] o3u, do you have any thread posted on ubuntuforums or anywhere else? I'm interested in this device [03:28] i cut out most of the "alias", you need to see them all varunendra ? [03:28] phaedra: Also, my laptop's wifi switch (FN+F2) doesn't seem to report anything in the rfkill events, either. [03:28] o3u, sure! [03:28] o3u, you could try to use '8188eu.ko' same steps as it was to compule 8192cu [03:29] varunendra: i havent personally but there's this; http://askubuntu.com/questions/210152/tl-wn725n-wireless-adapter [03:30] o3u maybe u could try the windows wrapper for it === [3]hmms is now known as hmms [03:30] varunendra: full list http://pastebin.com/LcTN4TUf [03:30] o3u, this page specifically refers to the ID of your device and says you need to use 8188eu.ko, I'd say that is an excellent plce to check. http://pengpod.com/pengwiki/index.php?title=No_WiFi_devices,_no_wifi_networks_shown&action=edit [03:31] ek: have you tried anything similar to this? sudo rmmod -f ath5k [03:31] sudo rfkill unblock all [03:31] sudo modprobe ath5k [03:32] o3u, no dice there :( probably what dakotawulfy suggested is the only known solution (but I haven't searched so far) [03:33] phaedra: Yes. But, I've only tried it with ath9k as that is what is loaded. === TheEpTic is now known as hmm === hmm is now known as TheEpTic [03:34] o3u, just to make it clear for all - your device's PID is 8179 (as per lsusb). Any driver that does not have this PID in its 'alias' will almost certainly won't support it [03:35] ek: here's a page that may help if you haven't tried it already. http://lkubuntu.wordpress.com/2011/09/07/how-to-fix-rfkill-issues/ [03:36] like always worked now its broken and wont work [03:37] varunendra: thanks [03:37] o3u, here - http://ubuntuforums.org/showthread.php?t=2136140 [03:37] phaedra: Thanks. I'll try that now. [03:38] o3u, brian____ has pointed you to the best place it seems [03:39] phaedra: Know what's strange? I just accidentally put my laptop to sleep hitting the wrong event key and now wireless works... [03:39] Hrm. I'm going to have to play with some things. [03:40] ek: well at least you got it to work ;) [03:40] phaedra: And only after 3 hours! [03:40] phaedra: And not actually doing anything to fix it! :) [03:41] phaedra: I'm going to see if rebooting hard blocks it again. [03:41] ek: perhaps the problem is more with hibernation for you than rfkill [03:43] phaedra: Could be. I just thought it was strange that the installation was able to use wifi without a problem at all. [03:43] phaedra: Also, I've noticed that once wireless was enabled it disabled my wired networking... [03:43] Strange. [03:44] hmm where can i get source for that though [03:45] FATAL: Error inserting 8188eu (/lib/modules/3.5.0-17-generic/kernel/drivers/net/wireless/8188eu.ko): Invalid module format [03:45] ek: it does that on my toshiba laptop. it doesn't use wired once the wireless is up === jack is now known as Guest99118 [03:45] o3u, well, it didn't end up working for him, his best success was ndiswrapper [03:45] phaedra: Well, that's understandable. But, once I disable the wireless, it renders my wired connection unusable. Says "network cable unplugged". [03:46] phaedra: Yes. Just as I suspected, a reboot put phy0 back to hard blocked. Wireless is now disabled again. [03:46] o3u, good luck! im going to bed [03:47] phaedra: Putting it to sleep and bringing it back brings up wireless again. Very interesting. [03:47] ek: try the hibernate option you acidentally did before and see if it comes up [03:48] ek: ok... interesting [03:48] phaedra: Yeah... Pretty strange. [03:49] And, of course, nothing in my rfkill list is blocked now. [03:49] * ek shrugs [03:49] ek you might want to check to see what commands are being run when coming out of hiberrnation [03:49] How do I submit feedback about a particular feature- namely, the dash?

How do I fix grub? [03:52] ek: find what commands/scripts are run after the nobernate and see if you can just put them in a script [03:52] hi [03:53] any news from ubuntu? [03:54] where the casper create default user [03:56] hulu, /home/ubuntu in casper-rw file or partition. [03:56] naknomik, The resolution? [03:57] varunendra: how can custom it [03:59] hulu, that I can't help with, although it is possible (remastersys creates /home/custom, maybe look at its script). Sorry.. [03:59] wilee-nilee: monitor has 1920x1080 [03:59] wilee-nilee: can I force normal 80x25 text mode while in Grub? [04:00] the 'nofb' and 'text' options might do that nakaori [04:00] the 'nofb' and 'text' options might do that naknomik [04:01] naknomik, You can change the boot resolution in gksudo gedit /etc/default/grub however make sure it is one that works, and run a sudo update-grub after changing. [04:01] varunendra: thx [04:01] :) [04:02] Dr_willis: where do I add the nofb or text option? In grub config somewhere? [04:03] you can test it at the grub menu. hit e to edit the boot lines. change 'quiet splash' to be like 'nofb noqiet nosplash text' [04:03] some of these grub options/kernel options might not be valid any more. they change every so often [04:03] but 'text' should get you to a text based console on the system [04:04] the other options may or may not be needed [04:05] Hi, I just want to know, do I need to have a firewall on ubuntu? (I am a newbie) [04:05] mojtaba, most likely no. [04:05] mojtaba, are you behind a router? or dirctly connected to the internet? [04:05] It depends on what you're doing [04:05] phaedra: Okay. Thanks again. [04:05] Dr_willis: I am behind the router [04:06] mojtaba, then most likely - it is allready doing a decent job of stoping any bad things [04:07] Dr_willis: If I need what is best and is there any necessary configuration for it? [04:07] mojtaba, it totally depends on what you are doing with the pc. [04:07] Hey is anyone using the Awesome WM [04:07] !firewall [04:07] 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. [04:07] Dr_willis: can you give me some examples? I am already surfing the web and sometimes web developing [04:08] mojtaba, you are not runing any special services? then i doubt if you need to worry about much [04:08] Dr_willis: actually no. [04:08] http://askubuntu.com/questions/3750/what-precautions-should-i-take-when-exposing-my-desktop-directly-to-the-internet/3753#3753 has some info in it about locking down your system [04:08] most of which wont apply. [04:08] alphaEncore: what about it [04:09] I can't figure out why the bottom notifications won't show up [04:09] Dr_willis: How come a firewall is not mostly needed in linux systems? [04:10] mojtaba, theres no services listening by default normally, so theres nothing that needs to be blocked [04:11] I'm gonna reinstall and see if that fixes it [04:11] A standard ubuntu install should not activate network services that are accessible via the internet. [04:11] You can check via (for tcp): [04:11] shell command ------> netstat -lntp [04:11] alphaEncore: i have 3.4 =( [04:12] yeah me too is that the problem?? [04:12] Dr_willis: I see, thanks. I will take a look [04:13] When I first installed it half of my former desktop still showed up [04:14] It was at the bottom then I REMOVED it and the bottom of awesome was gone too [04:14] what's one ubuntu supported usb wifi dongle? [04:14] I'm using xfce 4 right now [04:14] o3u, i tend to hit up the amazon site and seearch the revies till i find one i like. Ive bought like 3 that work out of the box on ubuntu. [04:14] but i see something in rc.lua needs som epreset value for notification, might be worth it to ask in #awesome [04:14] alphaEncore: ^ [04:15] Dr_willis: i bought a few TP-Link but i can't seem to get them to work [04:15] could be a simple on/off type change in config, alphaEncore [04:15] I wanna use this box as a server only so I don't need all the bloat [04:15] ah [04:15] http://www.amazon.com/gp/product/B003MTTJOY/ref=oh_details_o08_s00_i00?ie=UTF8&psc=1 [04:15] Dr_willis: can you suggest a model that worked out of the box for you? (cheap preferably) [04:15] works for me. its a mini dongle. [04:16] alphaEncore: but with a screen though? [04:16] look in the reviews at amazon is all i did [04:16] Dr_willis: thanks! [04:16] http://www.amazon.com/gp/product/B006JWMOOI/ref=oh_details_o07_s02_i02?ie=UTF8&psc=1 good range.

[04:59] _mnathani_: lspci |grep -i vga #And show us what it says. [05:00] _mnathani_, If you just updated, then go ahead with a reboot. Also take a look at "Additional Drivers", see if there are any suggestions. [05:00] Akiva-Mobile: What do you mean by "the intel graphics installer frontend"? [05:01] Jordan_U: they have an installer seperate from the ubuntu store. [05:01] <_mnathani_> http://pastebin.ca/2373896 [05:01] Jordan_U: just reading on their forums, apparently 13.04's version is more recent, which means I actually just need to install an older driver of theirs I guess. [05:01] Any clue as to how I can do this? Will synaptic work? [05:02] Akiva-Mobile: What problems are you having with the default drivers specifically? [05:03] usr13, I think you missed this : VGA compatible controller Advanced Micro Devices AMD ATI ES1000 (rev 02) ?? Driver in use : radeon, the native one. (for _mnathani_ ) [05:03] Jordan_U: Well the obvious ones are the unity flickering, and the new shuttdown dialogue not displaying properly. I also suspect that it is the reason why my flash has been crashing so often lately. [05:03] as no one else seems to be having my troubles with youtube. [05:03] Akiva-Mobile: Could you provide a screenshot of the shutdown dialog? [05:04] Jordan_U: Coming right up [05:04] varunendra: Oh, ok [05:05] Oooo... probably not the best place to ask my question. I apologize to the people who are experiencing problems and seeking help. [05:05] _mnathani_: lsmod |pastebinit #Send us resulting URL [05:06] <_mnathani_> additional drivers section said to restart [05:06] _mnathani_: System->Administration->Hardware Drivers #And see if there is another .... Ok good restart [05:07] _mnathani_: So you *did* go to Hardware Drivers and install new one. Right? [05:07] Jordan_U: Actually, apparently I can't. The printscreen button appears to be disabled while I am in the shuttdown dialogue. [05:07] <_mnathani_> nope, there were none available in additional drivers [05:07] <_mnathani_> but at the bottom it said I needed to restart [05:07] <_mnathani_> restarting now [05:07] _mnathani_: Ok good. See how it goes. Let us know if it's better [05:09] <_mnathani_> still really slow [05:09] Akiva-Mobile: Try using gnome-screenshot with a timer. [05:09] _mnathani_: lsmod |pastebinit #Send us resulting URL [05:09] <_mnathani_> is there a way I can disable fancy graphics to improve peformance [05:09] <_mnathani_> pasting it now [05:09] Jordan_U: Okay [05:10] _mnathani_, which version of Ubuntu are you using? 12.04 has the option to use Unity-2D, which is less fancy and faster [05:10] <_mnathani_> 13.04 [05:11] _mnathani_: if you want more speed you'll have to not use gnome or unity or maybe even compiz standalone === jono is now known as Guest55286 [05:11] Jordan_U: http://imagebin.org/256514 [05:12] <_mnathani_> would kde be a better option? [05:12] _mnathani_: not by much [05:12] <_mnathani_> is there a command I can use to enable 2d-unity? [05:12] Jordan_U: I gather that it is only the bottom left hand corner that is rendering properly [05:12] _mnathani_: no, you'll have to log out to change session [05:12] _mnathani_, can you give us an example of where you are experiencing the lag ? [05:13] there is no unity2d after 12.10+ [05:13] THis ^^ [05:13] evening all [05:13] _mnathani_: KDE would probably be somewhat faster. You have several choices kubuntu-desktop xubuntu-desktop or lubuntu-desktop etc. [05:14] But radeon driver is something that rings a bell to me :P [05:14] _mnathani_: and I would call them faster, faster-yet, and faster-yet [05:14] Im having an issue where my nic doesnt show up when inserting a motion controller card into my pci slot when my nic is pci-e [05:14] any thoughts? [05:15] _mnathani_, I think your graphics *may be supported by the proprietary fglrx driver. Not sure though. They don't support cards that are too old. [05:16] GammaX, does it show up in lspci ? The NIC [05:17] varunendra when the motion control card is not inserted yes. [05:17] seems to be some kind of conflict. [05:17] ciao [05:18] GammaX, have you taken a look at syslog or dmesg? Any hints? [05:18] varunendra nope [05:19] <_mnathani_> would the server release of ubuntu work better with lower graphics/ [05:19] the nic is attached to 1c.4, the pcie port 5 [05:19] GammaX, maybe try resetting the BIOS if not a problem. [05:19] _mnathani_: There are those amoung us that believe your video driver is the problem. [05:19] when I put the mesa card in, it shows up as attached to 1e.0 [05:19] and the nic gets deactivated. [05:19] _mnathani_: Yes, but server release does not include GUI [05:19] yeah bios is nothing to be worried about at this point [05:20] _mnathani_, do you even have a GUI? Just wondering.. [05:20] Hello. I have 4 LAN ports and tried setting the IP address (ip1) on a LAN port (em4) that doest not have a cable plugged in. However, there was an IP conflict on ip1. How is that possible? [05:20] [ip1 is live on the network though] [05:20] [ie another machine is using it] [05:21] _mnathani_: What video driver are you using now? [05:21] <_mnathani_> probably still the radeon [05:21] GammaX, I'd suggest to take a close look at dmesg if you haven't [05:22] varunendra will do that now [05:22] _mnathani_: grep Driver /var/log/Xorg.0.log |pastebinit #Send resulting URL [05:23] _mnathani_, 'lspci -nnk | grep -iA2 vga' to confirm the driver, but have you installed a GUI after installing the server? [05:23] ohir, please also see what usr13 suggested, _mnathani_ [05:23] <_mnathani_> sorry for the confusion, I am running the Desktop edition of 13.04 with a GUI [05:24] varunendra unfortunately the hm2 drivers don't have useful error messages,it returns -1 on all failures so all you end up getting is "unknown symbol in module" [05:25] <_mnathani_> usr13: http://paste.ubuntu.com/5634388 [05:25] GammaX, anything on device detection/initialization? (in /var/log/syslog) [05:27] _mnathani_: Did you try System->Administration->Hardware Drivers and look to see if there are additional drivers available? [05:27] <_mnathani_> usr13: This is the gerp Driver output http://paste.ubuntu.com/5634395 [05:28] _mnathani_: lsmod |grep radeon |pastebinit #Send us URL [05:28] GammaX, NIC and a motion controller have no connection, also, the ports as you say are pci and pci-e, so I suspect if it is a BIOS setting or bug. [05:29] <_mnathani_> http://paste.ubuntu.com/5634399 [05:29] hi guys , i installed ubuntu 13.04 on my old pc and i got this style for background of dashboard,ALT+Tab,Shutdown dialog ! please help ! http://oi42.tinypic.com/5mhjer.jpg [05:30] _mnathani_: Since you rebooted, did you try and see if updated driver is available? System->Administration->Hardware Drivers [05:31] <_mnathani_> couldnt find that , but software update > additonal drivers had nothing === ubuntu__ is now known as kuruba [05:32] Hi all [05:34] _mnathani_: See: http://www.noobslab.com/2013/04/install-ati-amd-catalyst-drivers-in.html & http://www.itworld.com/software/351745/install-ati-amd-catalyst-131-drivers-ubuntu-1304 [05:34] _mnathani_: sudo lshw -C video should show you the driver as well === chrissy is now known as Guest95190 [05:35] ChogyDan: He is using radeon [05:35] there are no known bugs in ubuntu. its your fault [05:36] ctxmen: It's your fault? [05:36] yes the problem sits in front of the monitor [05:37] Ok, gotta go folks. ttyl [05:38] _mnathani_, did a quick search for your device on AMD site (http://search.amd.com/US/Pages/NoResults.aspx?csquery=ATI+ES1000&collection=support-us), and looks like your card is not supported by their proprietary driver (probably the device is too old?). So maybe radeon is the only choice for you. [05:38] <_mnathani_> what is the run level for a system with no graphics [05:39] 2 [05:39] <_mnathani_> networking should work at this run level though? [05:39] I have installed Ubuntu 12.04. It was installed on a created partition, alongside windows 8. I uninstalled Ubuntu, deleted its partition, and merged it back with my C:/ drive. Now, Ubuntu will not remove from the Windows 8 boot menu in UEFI. I have tried booting into a Ubuntu USB and using efibootmgr. I have also tried /FixMbr and /Fixboot. Nothing has helped. I have JUST completely reinstalled windows 8 and it is STILL there. I was inf [05:40] only they can reinstall UEFI if I send in my laptop. I do not wish to send it in, this is my last resort. So what can I do to remove it from the boot options in UEFI? [05:40] Any help? [05:40] How can I create a custom xorg config in 13.04? [05:40] _mnathani_ what is your distru?? [05:41] where is the conf file? [05:41] its diffrenet in debian and redhat [05:42] lucido: /etc/X11/xorg.conf [05:42] lucido /etc [05:42] <_mnathani_> ubuntu 13.04 [05:42] lucido: edit there [05:42] <_mnathani_> it is already run level 2, but graphics are enabled for now [05:42] that doesn't work anymore [05:42] it has been moved [05:42] Raha: there is lot of diff in debain and redhat [05:42] Anyone? [05:43] DRatJr: maybe is on another partition? [05:43] There is no other partition. [05:43] DRatJr, Windows 8 has a recovery back up what you need and run it. [05:43] Well there are, but they are all recovery partitions [05:43] I don't need anything backed up, and I JUST recovered windows. [05:43] Raha: mainly your package manger red hat uses rpm and debain uses dpkg for package management [05:43] To the day of when I bought the computer [05:44] lucido: on 13.04? [05:44] _mnathani_ so its not 2, because run level 2 has everything for ubuntu [05:44] DRatJr: i really don't know [05:44] When I run bcdedit from cmd prompt, it doesn't even show ubuntu [05:44] but it shows it in the UEFI boot options [05:44] _mnathani_ u want to have network with out graphic? [05:44] nullby7e, yes, and befor, it ignores the monitor section (I want to force a resolution) [05:45] lucido: hm i don't know where is xorg.conf maybe you need to try monitors option in system settings, why not? [05:45] This sucks. [05:45] I legitamately hate Ubuntu now. [05:45] It can never be easy. [05:45] Always a freaking hassle. [05:46] DRatJr: The problem you're having is almost certainly due to broken firmware, as I believe I explained to you before. [05:46] <_mnathani_> Raha: yes, for running server applications network would be useful even without graphics [05:46] Samsung does not allow users to reinstall UEFI firmware. [05:46] _mnathani_ check runlevel 3 [05:46] So I am essentially fucked.

I think it is the same grenage that we have on the ubuntuforums :) [05:47] I'm literally beyond angry at this point. [05:47] lucido i didnt ask about diff, but thanks [05:47] I have ubuntu and linex [05:48] Sigh [05:49] lucido: remember to include the edid options in your xorg.conf whether to accept or ignore [05:51] hi all [05:51] hi [05:51] hi raha how are ya [05:51] _mnathani_, servers are usually serious business. As such, I'd recommend to go with LTS (12.04) - the server version. [05:52] thanks, :) === tor is now known as Guest16476 [05:57] Hello [05:57] how to set manual resolution for hdmi output.

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".

[07:41] azi: if you dont like unity style, you can install gnome shell or lubuntu-desktop [07:41] I don't know enough about grub-update, but if there is a debug mode for getting more about what's going wrong, perhaps -d, or -dd, you might get a pointer to what file has bad info in it.

[13:20] paulens: Just use the available space for your installation - and create a swap partition as big as your RAM. [13:20] !grub|lostinspace, yes you can edit grub to do that ... carefully [13:20] lostinspace, yes you can edit grub to do that ... carefully: GRUB2 is the default Ubuntu boot manager.

My ram should be fine. [13:20] bekks: i wanthome [13:21] the last link! I missed it. Thank you [13:21] paulens: Then use about 20GB for /, RAM == SWAP, and the remaining space for /home [13:21] GodsFlaw, as a general rule if you have more than 4G RAM a swap becomes wasted space [13:22] it doesn't get used [13:22] BluesKaj: Besides the fact that you canbt hibernate otherwise. [13:22] paulens well so many people could tell u what to use and every one going to be different maybe swap 4gig the / partion maybe 40gig and your /home the rest and feed back from anyone? [13:22] o you are talking swap file disk. [13:22] ok [13:22] I was asking about os from filesystem. [13:23] BluesKaj: And nowadays, in a time having 4TB drives, it really doesnt matter how you are using 12GB of disk space when having 16GB RAM. [13:23] bekks, well , there's no indication that hibernation is needed [13:23] got 16gb ram so no need for swap. [13:23] GodsFlaw: Do you want to use hibernation? [13:23] thanks :) [13:23] well i got 4 gig and only using 7 % swap [13:23] running on ssd think I need hibernate? [13:24] GodsFlaw: Its your choice, not what I am thinking you might need. === doc-donkey is now known as wdonkey [13:25] GodsFlaw, is this a laptop, work pc , home pc ?

[13:27] paulens: ext4 [13:28] so i'll leave 20 free for the swap [13:28] thanks bekks [13:28] Bug: Sometimes when I open the dash the screen freezes and I can't do anything. Ubuntu 12.04 has been buggy for me lately. [13:29] is ext4 best for everything? what is ext3 used for? [13:29] GodsFlaw: Yeah. [13:30] GodsFlaw: ext3 is much older than ext4. === ubuntu is now known as Guest8541 [13:31] ext4 is latest and probly best, GodsFlaw [13:32] hello [13:33] I am trying to boot straight into xbmc in ubuntu 13.04 [13:33] I change lightdm.conf but it does not seem to work [13:34] Thanks blue, anyother advice before I reboot to do the load. Looks straightfoward from the reading. [13:36] GodsFlaw, I prefer to pre-partition using gparted live media , then when you install , just use the manual partioning guide and choose the / and /home moutpoints [13:37] that a seperat program? [13:37] like partition magic? [13:37] gparted.sourceforge.net/‎ [13:37] this? [13:37] !gparted | GodsFlaw [13:38] GodsFlaw: gparted is a !GTK/!Gnome !GUI partitioning program.

[13:39] before you , install GodsFlaw , it's not necessary , but it makes the insallation easier IMO [13:40] but nothing is on the disk now. [13:40] i'm talking from my windows disk.

[13:42] paulens, did you install grub bootloader? [13:42] paulens, no grub menu? [13:42] eh... no, it boots straight to windows [13:42] i just used the installer in live usb [13:42] paulens, boot the live usb and install grub to the hard drive [13:42] cfhowlett: ? [13:42] and selected a partition to install bootloader [13:43] i thought it will imstall grub there [13:43] MinIRC, installing to a USB is simple [13:43] install* [13:43] cfhowlett: well not so when you're on OS X [13:44] cfhowlett: how do i do that? [13:44] cfhowlett: i wan to install it and boot it from anywhere just like stormily usb on kickstarted [13:44] Is the support for 32bit greater than for 64? [13:44] alexxxa2: nope [13:44] alexxxa2: No. [13:44] MinIRC, create the USB. boot from the usb ... exactly what stormily did [13:45] Is it really so? I am really considering reinstalling system, and this time I will choose 32 bit [13:45] cause many programs wont install at all [13:45] alexxxa2: ^Name one :) [13:45] they say 'dependance problem' or so [13:45] can someone tell me how to install grub? [13:45] alexxxa2: it is depend on your cpu architecture [13:45] hi [13:46] alexxxa2: I am not aware of any program not being installable on 64bit for the last 10 years.

[13:46] cfhowlett: and why didn't it install grub together with ubuntu? [13:46] firefox won't allow to be set to my language [13:47] alexxxa2: Then install the language pack you need to support your language. [13:47] MinIRC, ah, well yes. EFI is a tricky beast. best you look in the mac resources [13:47] alexxxa2: those are not problem to OS , more than the software you're using [13:48] paulens, it should have. do you have some weird set up? multi HD's/SSD or such? [13:48] cfhowlett: mum….i'm looking to resolve them [13:48] cfhowlett: no... [13:48] Since I'm using xfce, I can install language only through Language assistence (or something like that) - and that's exactly what I 've done [13:48] but firefox remains in english [13:48] the thing is that I want to set this PC for my grandpa [13:49] who doesn't speak english [13:49] so this PC has to be in another lang [13:49] alexxxa2: You have to install the language pack for your firefox in your language, too. [13:49] cfhowlett: maybe i had to create a primary partition? all my ubuntu partitions are logical [13:49] alexxxa2: And thats nothing that will be different on 32bit.

[13:52] paulens, then it might be a uefi thing ... out of my area of knowledge. [13:52] alexxxa2: well there is a language of the system so change it from there, and then go and download firefox again and it will be downloaded with the os language you have choosen [13:52] cfhowlett: i don't have uefi, i have bios. win8 wasn't preinstalled === albert is now known as Guest62582 [13:53] paulens, gotta go. sorry.

[13:58] LAptop ASUS k52F [13:58] alexxxxa2: Just use 64bit and follow the instructions given, e.g. for skype.

[13:59] in tutorial, it says: sudo dpkg --add-architecture i386 [13:59] Users of 64-bit Ubuntu, should enable MultiArch if it isn't already enabled by running the command [13:59] sudo dpkg --add-architecture i386 [13:59] alexxxxa2: MultiArch has been enabled by default for several releases now.

[14:04] debiantoruser just ask, someone who knows the answer will likely reply [14:04] it bothers me [14:05] ...am I experiencing a bug, or is the dark border around the window decoration on unmaximised windows a new "feature"? [14:06] bekks: what waste of resources? i have tested the both on the same laptop and did see any difference, soon they will change it to 128bit architecture cause the transistors will be written to 14nm and then..what? it all depends on the software if it is optimised or not..for the architecture..so using the 64bit is not such a big of a deal for intel i-x architecture [14:06] lets say I put "su marcio -c znc" inside rc.local, does it make znc start as if user marcio did it?

[14:42] ok, i set /boot to 10 gigs [14:42] adamk_ yea but then he needs another portion / and the /boot [14:42] fellayaboy: it may not have moved stuff around, the created ones are still in the source dir [14:42] * you_ have performed an illegal action. Please restart your computer [14:42] dakotawulfy, Right.... And? [14:42] dakotawulfy: so are we talking about 4 partitions now? [14:42] dakotawulfy: might it be because I have no nvidia packages installed? [14:42] heheh going up [14:42] the source directory? ok so im a lil new with make..how does it do its thing? it first stores its stuff in /usr/src? [14:43] cloneG [14:43] paulens is that the enire layout in the shot or a pageUp is needed? [14:43] pualens: What was your original problem again? No GRUB? [14:43] cloneG ok check if u have nvidia common installed in synaptic [14:43] fellayaboy: yes, normally at the end at 'make install' it'll start moving stuff to their places [14:44] betrayd: you see everything in the screenshot. scrolling down only reveals the external usb drive [14:44] paulens: ok [14:44] dakotawulfy: no, i run: sudo remove --purge nvidia* and thats why I can see desktop with latest kernel now [14:44] hi, how do I see the current version of ubuntu running? [14:44] dakotawulfy: so nvidia-common is certainly not in the system [14:45] betrayd: is it good? i added 10 gigs / now, and reduced /boot to 10 gigs [14:45] I mean the current version version of ubuntu installed on my system [14:45] dakotawulfy: is it needed? [14:45] paulens: another shot would be nice though [14:45] ok, uploading...

[14:49] http://dnscrypt.org/ [14:49] I thought they were going to make it were u could not boot other os ?? [14:49] fellayaboy: maybe easier to convert rpm to deb using alien [14:49] if you're having trouble installing a Windows /Ubuntu dual boot, try http://help.ubuntu.com/community/UEFI [14:50] paulens, is windows 7 the first partition , if so then that's where grub installed , on the mbr [14:50] yeah thats true if i find it..well ima figure this out if not ill use dnscrypt 1.21 [14:50] BluesKaj: i'm no longer using windows 7, i deleted it [14:50] thanks for the clarification guys [14:50] fellayaboy: or ubuntu's supplied thingi [14:50] paulens ok [14:50] BluesKaj: should i install grub on top of windows boot loader?

Anyone else? [14:52] someone can tell me if ubuntu 13.04 have support for software raids like the old alternative cds ? [14:52] paulens: and its not really 'on top of' they' [14:53] cloneG: u are on the new kernel right and uninstalled the other on the old kernel right [14:53] would coexist paulens [14:53] BluesKaj: so what should i select as "device for boot loader installation"? [14:53] betrayd: yeah but i meant the same partition [14:53] ok bbiab [14:53] paulens, / , whatever /dev/sdX it is [14:53] dakotawulfy: I uninstalled all nvidia packages in the new kernel thats all I did [14:53] NickNackGus: i'm not using uefi [14:54] dakotawulfy: and then reinstalled nvidia-common [14:54] BluesKaj: ok, thanks, gonna try installing now... [14:54] without /boot [14:54] cloneG: did u remove the driver in the old kernel ??? [14:54] just swap, / and /home [14:54] with jocky-gtk [14:54] /boot isn't needed , paulens [14:54] dakotawulfy: no [14:55] BluesKaj: yeah i removed it [14:55] ok , you're good to go paulens [14:55] Has quantal reached EOL? [14:56] bekks, I´m downloading 32bit XUbuntu [14:56] notOnIRC_, no [14:56] I'll install it [14:56] dakotawulfy: do I need to remove drivers from all kernels? [14:56] cloneG: ok now this is what i did i wen to old kernel used jocky-gtk remove driver then boot back in to should not have nivida driver loaded then go to the new kernel and add the one i showed u in screen shot [14:56] dakotawulfy: not drivers but packages [14:56] alexxxxa2: Basically nothing will change, since the problems named will occur again. [14:56] Hi guys. Hope everyone's ok. I have a simple query to ask. I am upgrading to 13.04 from within 12.10. I have reached till here: http://img.krow.me/di/O5Q8/Screenshot_from_2013-05-05_20:08:17.png My PC is slow, and it will take hours to decompress those packages. So I was wondering if I can quit now, and later the setup can resume from where I left? Pls answer. [14:57] Until when is it supported? I hope no one minds me asking here instead of googling. My connection is having some problems and IRC is easier for it. [14:57] bekks, I bet it will work [14:57] Vyom: You should not interrupt the update. [14:57] time will show [14:57] alexxxxa2: I wont bet on that :P [14:57] cloneG: not sure why but it works has to be done that way and it should work [14:57] or, I´ll install 12.10 (32bit) [14:57] one after another [14:58] http://ubuntuforums.org/showthread.php?t=2139480&page=2 I'm impacted by that same issue. Does anyone know if there's been a deb file released to fix that (doesn't need to be in the official repos) It's kind of an annoying regression [14:58] I don´t care if it´s 32 or 64 bit. It´s for my grandpa, after all [14:58] alexxxxa2: Why dont you use 12.04, which will be supported till 2017? [14:58] cloneG: then your old kernel will not work with the nvidia driver but new on will [14:58] dakotawulfy: okay...though I think there is no active nvidia driver right now [14:58] Ok. If 13.04 32bit won´t work either, I´ll install 12.04 then [14:59] alexxxxa2: 13.04 will be supported for 9 months only - January 2014 [14:59] dakotawulfy: you meant deactivating the driver didnt you? [14:59] cloneG: right go to old kernel remove it [14:59] bekks: But I think packages are downloaded, and the setup can simply resume from where I left? [14:59] typical scientific fonts in papers are? [15:00] Vyom: Will will have an undefined state between two releases. You should not interrupt the update. [15:00] well in jocky gtk it says remove button [15:00] dakotawulfy: but the point is that the recommended driver is not stayed anyway [15:00] cloneG: are u in the old one now??? [15:01] ok, it said installation complete, continue testing/restart [15:01] cloneG: the old kernel [15:01] bekks: That sounds scary. Ok, thanks for the reply. I will try to consider the time in future upgrades. [15:01] i clicked restart and...... [15:01] dakotawulfy: latest kernel [15:01] someone here can tell me if the ubuntu 13.04 have some software raid support at instalation ? [15:01] cloneG: go to the old kernel [15:01] dakotawulfy: 3.5.0-18 [15:01] it boots windows.

I wanted to upgrade the version of ncurses, but I couldn't finish the process... errors: http://paste2.org/mvOCKFvL can someone help me to do with this something? [15:02] dakotawulfy: 12.04 [15:02] cemycc: it does [15:02] i'm not sure if you have to use the alternative installer still or not though [15:02] cloneG: and u are using the the next version kernel [15:03] for 12.10 [15:03] kernel [15:03] i don't know what to do anymore :( [15:03] it just doesn't detect grub...

[15:03] dakotawulfy: the kernel updates automatic [15:03] josePHPagoda, from what i have seen there are not alternative cd for 13.04 :) if I can create raid partition and raid array on the install then I dont need it [15:03] right [15:03] Mine did that too === ole__ is now known as oz7t [15:05] dakotawulfy: which would be the optimum config for kernel and driver?

[15:17] BluesKaj: i think it is installed, but there's no record in my BCD [15:17] cloneG don't think that right for the 12.04 [15:18] BluesKaj: it automatically boots the first partition it finds, which is windows boot loader [15:18] windows ignores linux , paulens [15:18] cloneG i might be [15:18] BluesKaj: so i need to add it manually?

[16:06] hello, im trying to install simple machine forum, and simple portal , but i need to add chmod 0777 to some folder for my username nertil , how should i do that [16:06] cloneG mine did the same === Guest64319 is now known as rclancy [16:06] too many texters coming in who can't express themselves in real english and can't punctuate a sentence to save their lives [16:06] Supercomp: Are you using 13.04? [16:06] dakotawulfy: this is annoying! [16:07] dakotawulfy: I was happy with ubuntu 12.04 since a couple of weeks ago... [16:07] dakotawulfy: when the kernel upgraded [16:08] No it is 11.04 [16:08] dakotawulfy: but would you tell me how to get the packages I need? [16:08] I checked in 12.04 also, it didn't work [16:09] cloneG: what kernel are you trying to get for what version? [16:09] Supercomp: Thats the problem, the drivers for mtp were significantly improved for 13.04, I've not had much sucess with anything prior to that [16:09] hello, im trying to install simple machine forum, and simple portal , but i need to add chmod 0777 to some folder for my username nertil , how should i do that [16:09] Hi! I found that syslog and kern.log in /var/log is taking up 5GiB each. I was wondering why my system's /var and /usr are consuming ~10GiB each. Is it fine if I delete syslog and kern.log from /var/log ? [16:09] dakotawulfy: for linuxheaders 3.2.0-40 I found this: http://pkgs.org/ubuntu-12.04/ubuntu-updates-main-i386/linux-headers-3.2.0-40-generic_3.2.0-40.64_i386.deb.html [16:09] You mean to say it should work in 13.04 [16:09] Supercomp: I'd suggest downloading a 13.04 iso and just try a live USB version to see if it detects it [16:09] dakotawulfy: should I download and install that? [16:10] cloneG, you've mucked up your graphics driver with x-swat ppa , stay away from it ans consult with us before yopu add one the next time [16:10] Will do it. Thanks [16:10] Supercomp: Good luck [16:10] *on desktop installation [16:10] cloneG if the old one works you should be fine you need to use jocky-gtk install the driver should work [16:10] BluesKaj: I was warned [16:11] cloneG but not going to fix the other problem [16:12] dakotawulfy: no trusty ppa for nvidia drivers? [16:12] cloneG by putting in the nvidia common u got what u need in there [16:13] dakotawulfy: I get it... [16:13] dakotawulfy: how could I get back to default? [16:14] cloneG, you don't need a ppa , the avialable drivers should work , but your nvidia-xconfig probly needs updating in order for thedriver to load properly [16:14] cloneG use the one i showed you with the screen shot [16:14] dakotawulfy: I mean the synaptic packages are all messed up because none matches the ubuntu version I am using [16:15] BluesKaj: yes that is what nvidia-settings tell me [16:16] test [16:16] Question about changing locale environment variables. [16:16] cloneG get rid of the repo that u added for the other one for video that will clean it up a little [16:16] Anyone able to help?

[16:29] cloneG, well, he might be right , are you on 12.04 ? [16:29] paulens, You hit a kernel panic. Could be caused by any number of things. [16:30] BluesKaj: ubuntu 12.04 64 bit [16:30] adamk_: eh... how do i fix it? i mean how do i troubleshoot it? [16:30] paulens, Try booting with acpi and/or lapic disabled. Try a different kernel. Run memtest on your computer. [16:30] BluesKaj: and the kernel and headers are synch to 3.5.0 [16:30] paulens, File a bug report :-) [16:31] guys is there such a thing like an installer for ubuntu besides the live version? I think before was called optional or additional? something like that? [16:31] BluesKaj but not working 3d acceleration [16:31] adamk_: i just installed ubuntu, ao this is a stock kernel === Guest1531 is now known as Tm_T [16:31] Blueskaj: indeed the kernel module is not loading [16:31] jair: it's called the alternate install [16:31] adamk - a bug report before you die a search on hcl ?

I think that is not the way to go... but I dont really know what to think when the 13.04 is not lts nevermore [16:34] poff command fails [16:34] cloneG, the upgrade to 12.10 fixed my problem btw [16:34] Does banshee require jacker server to play music? i keep getting errors on both [16:34] thurstylark: thanks so much [16:35] i connect using PPPoE connection i cant disconnect [16:35] banshee and rhythmbox* [16:35] poff fails [16:35] thurstylark: very good that this still exist.

[16:53] BluesKaj: okay thanks bye [16:54] !notunity | wins start here [16:54] wins start here: 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.

[17:02] anyone able to help with vlc or ps3mediaserver [17:03] hi there, any one know if a Medion USB DVB-T dongle is supported by Ubuntu 13.04 ? [17:03] frank_: It depends on the chipset used. [17:03] how to reach via the internet, folders like portal, and forum ? i have dyndns my ip but i cant reach anything on /var/www folder [17:05] hi bekks it should be based on a realtek chip [17:06] frank_: Never heard of DVB-T dongles with a Realtek chipset. [17:06] ls - CCcamInfoPHP index.html phpsysinfo portal [17:06] this is how my /var/www/ looks [17:07] donvito|2: doesny dyndns require you to run a script to link your current external IP to your box [17:08] betrayd let me check [17:08] ah [17:08] can anyone explain to me why "aticonfig --od-getcloks" shows "GPU load" as zero on gameplay? The load does sometimes show few percentage on normal desktop use, but only zero when playing games. [17:08] frank_, PCI one is ... i know yo have usb, maybe that site also knows ... http://linuxtv.org/wiki/index.php/DVB-T_PCI_Cards [17:08] ok how to reach the www folder with my ip? [17:09] example http://ip.ip:80/portal [17:09] donvito|2: You have to create a portforwarding on your router. [17:09] i did that [17:09] it should work then [17:09] donvito|2: sure there's not a newer external IP [17:09] ? [17:09] hi bekks it is this one, i really dont know what chip it uses but the name on the dongle is: Medion Mini DVB-T USB Stick MD 86351 [17:09] im sure [17:09] donvito|2: And being behind a router, most likely it isnt capable of dealing with loopback NAT, so you have to test that from outside. [17:10] frank_: The name is pretty irrelevant, the chipset is the important information. [17:10] how do I find what package supplies apt-add-repository ? [17:10] should i open port 80 on router? [17:10] donvito|2, i jsut got here, have you made sure the server is up? [17:10] donvito|2: Of course, if you want to access it from outside. [17:10] moppers yes i cant acces from localhost [17:10] donvito|2, that;s dependent on the router... some will do that as part of port forward automaticlaly [17:10] cant? [17:11] TCP or UDP? [17:11] okay i will try to find out [17:11] wait [17:11] donvito|2: Does http://localhost:80/portal work? [17:11] if oyu are accessing the server from localhost, why are you going through the router? [17:11] of course that wont work! [17:11] its fine now [17:11] http://nertiltvbox.no-ip.org/portal/ [17:11] can anyone check does it work? [17:12] i guess i missed the start of the question, as it makes no sense. i'll be quiet now.

Have a small problem using screen as my shell. It works great when I login using ssh (have nice access to multiple running screens, etc.) But, when I attempt to SFTP into the machine, it get errors about response length. My guess is that something in the config is causing screen to spit back the entire screen to the SSH client. Any ideas how to fix this [18:13] dino__: how did you configure screen being your shell?

I think I would use a cronjob. For both, every five minutes and on boot. */5 * * * * and @reboot will help you [18:16] Walex2: you can, from my reading, do a cronjob based on seconds … could be wrong on this [18:17] shankstaBytes: like what? [18:17] or maybe you can, don't know wtf i was looking at … [18:17] muelli: if you dont know then you probably dont use those features [18:17] http://www.thegeekstuff.com/2011/07/cron-every-5-minutes/ <-- Cron job cannot be used to schedule a job in seconds interval.

[18:18] nownot: what can do is to schedule a script every minute, and then the scripts does 11 repetitions every 5 seconds. [18:18] nownot: in that way you get the automatic running of CRON and the every-5-seconds that you want. [18:18] agh, so the /11 will do a minute /11 so every 5 seconds [18:18] gotcha coach, thanks! [18:19] nownot: something like 'for N in {1..11}; do SOMETHING; sleep 5; done' and you run that as a CROn job [18:19] wilee-nilee: so can you answer my question?

[18:53] XHEART24: it depends on what you're going to do with the file, but he's saying just to change the extension [18:53] XHEART24, just try changeing the name. [18:53] ok thanks, you are so kind guys, take care [18:54] hay gud [18:54] XHEART24: wait [18:54] yes?

[18:56] XHEART24: well... you'll have to convert it [18:56] ok [18:56] AVI is not a video format [18:56] it's just a container [18:56] it might just need tobe called whatever.avi instead of whatever.mp4 [18:56] or it might have to be some specific codecs [18:57] Sony...

[18:58] AVI, yeah [18:58] Dr_willis: say the word, LOL [18:58] Dr_willis: AVI just a container?

[19:13] treaverphoerig: https://launchpad.net/~gnome-shell-extensions/+archive/ppa I only see one package there [19:13] My friend has an external drive that is not recognized by any of my ubuntu boxes. [19:14] It connects normally under win and os x though. [19:14] Am I missing some software? [19:14] How do I install these https://extensions.gnome.org/ [19:15] lenz, is he 'safely removeing' it when removeing it from the windows machines? try to mount it by hand, that may show any error messages [19:15] treaverphoerig, i just clickon the slider button next to the extension, and it installs here. [19:15] CarlFK: sorry but I'm not understanding the relationship between streaming-system and enabling multiverse [19:15] treaverphoerig, there's a slider next to the extensions; click it [19:15] treaverphoerig, what browser are you using? [19:16] anyone got an idea on this ALSA/Pulse error? http://paste.ubuntu.com/5636424/ [19:16] (sorry for repost) [19:16] Chromium [19:16] try firefox [19:16] Dr_willis, yeah I tried manual mount; it was as though its not plugged in [19:16] treaverphoerig: are you actually using gnome-shell by the way? [19:16] You do not appear to have an up to date version of GNOME3. You won't be able to install extensions from here. See the about page for more information. [19:16] I'm using Ubuntu Gnome [19:17] lenz, if sudo blkid, or 'sudo fdisk -l' dosent see it.. then theres a deeper issue going on. cable/port/drive [19:17] I found it! Thanks [19:17] Dr_willis, I'll try those two [19:17] Now how do I fix keyboard and mouse on startup [19:17] Thank you kind sir [19:17] treaverphoerig, tell us whats broken about them perhaps. [19:18] treaverphoerig, it normally works out of the box [19:19] My keyboard and mouse sometimes on boot do not even work. Not one button [19:19] Oh, one more question: I installed mediatomb to be able to have UPNP-Mediaserver for my music. It starts automatically on boot, but I don't want it to. [19:19] How exactly do I remove it from xinit? [19:20] lenz, if its managed by UPSTART it would have a whatever.conf file in /etc/init/ [19:20] Ill check [19:20] if its managed by SysV it would have some init scripts in /etc/init.d/ and /etc/rc.# i belive [19:20] jrib: this fails https://github.com/timvideos/streaming-system/blob/master/tools/setup/01-add-multiverse.sh - fail is bad ;) [19:21] treaverphoerig, if you have an USB keyboard/mouse, enable usb-support in your bios [19:21] It's all hardware connected to the laptop [19:21] It is in /init/, Dr_willis, should I just delete the file? [19:21] CarlFK: why does it need to enable multiverse though? That should be something the admin does, no? Or do you want this just for testing sake? [19:21] lenz, i suggest just renameing it.. [19:22] lenz, whatever.dontrun [19:22] instead of whatever.conf [19:23] Thanks [19:23] mv command is fine I guess? [19:23] sudo mv foo bar [19:23] ;) [19:24] CarlFK: anyway, to me, it seems like you should just setup the testing environment to already have multiverse enabled. If you can't do that, you could instead just copy a file to /etc/apt/sources.list.d/ that enables multiverse. But I still find it strange this software to be doing this [19:24] ^for [19:24] Dr_willis I know about foobar but I don't get it [19:24] :D [19:24] Also, it's in init.d as well [19:24] hi all.

[19:29] ok thank you [19:29] I was having serious graphics driver issues in 13.04 as well [19:29] now back in 12.04 [19:29] trying to build an app on 13.04 that ./configure runs looking for qt3 (I think). It errors that qt toolkit isn't found. Suggestions? [19:30] Where can I read how to install tarball driver with no readme or install file [19:30] it seems my Radeon HD 3430 Mobility is no longer supported in kernel 3.8 [19:31] tonsofpcs, you are sure its qt3 ? kde is now using QT4 i thought.. any app using qt3 would be sort of old. [19:31] Dr_willis: I think it appears when the system is stressed. I'use WiFi, MonoDevelop, Opera Browser with many tabs opened. [19:31] lenz, dats not good. I wonder what happened. how old is that card? [19:32] Dr_willis: well, the compile instructions say to install the qt3 dev libs before building... [19:32] DaVinciIT, that was not how you described it.. You said it was messed up when you logged in.. how can you just login and have all those running.. [19:32] johnjohn1011, I bought it off DELL in 2008 [19:33] tonsofpcs, those might not even be in the repos any more. try an apt-cache search qt dev and look for anything that looks like it may apply and install it perhaps [19:33] johnjohn1011, it's pity because I am really missing some of my favourite features that I had in 12.10 [19:34] Dr_willis: sorry. I login, I work for a time, and sometimes, system go back at login page, and I cant do anything cause the image is fragmented. [19:34] DaVinciIT, what hardware to you use? [19:35] lenz: SONY Vaio VPCF12E4E [19:36] Dr_willis: I hear the 'login' sound. [19:37] DaVinciIT it might be a problem with your vga controller [19:37] I had a similar problem in 13.04 [19:38] DaVinciIT, see http://ubuntuforums.org/showthread.php?t=2138392 [19:38] DaVinciIT, i seem to recxall some quirks with X/login screen ages ago.. i had to enable the 'always restart X server' in the lightdm settings conf files. [19:38] or go to the console and do a 'sudo service lightdm restart' [19:38] lenz: I'm on 13.04 too [19:40] well thank you very much. [19:41] does nautilus have some kind of cache?

[19:44] same machine, just wanted a fresh install [19:44] has anyone here ever heard of a tool called "flup", which I guess is supposed to update formware on fujitsu harddrives [19:44] though i think last time i installed from wubi [19:45] !find flup [19:45] Found: python-flup [19:46] My BIOS has a setting to change the memory alotted to the AGP card. I have a PCI Graphics card and I am wondering is there any way that I can use that alotted memory for the card in any way? [19:47] daniel__1, so you dont have an agp card.. but a PCI (or you mean pcie) video card? [19:47] I have a PCI card === bastidra1or is now known as bastidrazor [19:47] python-flup has a similar name, but the description is of something different than a firmware updater [19:47] if you are not using an agp card. i don t think that setting would matter. [19:48] unless its refering to a built in video chipset on the mb. [19:48] I am wondering is I can use that memory for the PCI card. It is doing nothing now. I have a NVIDIA TNT2 M64 [19:48] I dont really see how its being alloted to a video card that you said dosent exist. you may want to askin #hardware [19:49] danial__1, if you mean you have a standard 32-bit pci card, the answer is no [19:49] and i doubt if you can set the pci card to use the system memroy that way [19:49] Okay, thats all I need to know [19:49] if might be good to upgrade at least to a agp card though [19:53] stuff gets that old.. its hard to justify putting in any more $$ in it. :) but i bet you can find some cheap used stuff around.

[20:33] TuomasT: well, but how do you install a piece of software in windows? you download it from a random webpage - in ubuntu (most distros are similar in this point) you have a centrally managed repository, with maintainers signing their packages, if you only use those, you shold be fine - as long as ubuntu does not get compromised [20:33] mrHTTP, you may want to ask non-support questions in #ubuntu-offtopic [20:34] my software center wont open can someone help please I'm a newbie and need to be walked through the process [20:34] nibbler_: I like the fact that packages are signed by individual maintainers and not some central authority [20:35] x13, try from a terminal, 'sudo apt-get update' then 'sudo apt-get upgrade' let it do the various upates. then try the software center again [20:35] in quagmire voice: "Oh God, trying to enable netgear rounters client bridge / repeater bridge mode is like trying to get 2 nuns naked" [20:35] TuomasT: i guess its more like central authority, but i'm no expert on that - if you keep with the official repo, and don't add closed source ones, you are as safe as you can be i guess [20:36] Drwillis: tried that last night didn't work [20:36] TuomasT: and of course don't install anything from 3rd party sources (including firefox plugins etc) [20:37] x13: nopaste output of this process....

Software center simply wont open... not sure why. Tried updating adn upgrading to no avail [20:38] bye bye babbioni! [20:39] nibbler_: I'm thinking that with a distro the size of ubuntu and derivates, I'm sure there attacks especially for ubuntu packages, and of course since FinFisher is used by the authorities the package maintainers have to co-operate to allow such attacks. [20:40] Especially, if there is a single central package signing authority. [20:40] 'have to' ? [20:40] TuomasT: i just don't think so. if any OS got cought doing that, it would be its end.

[20:47] dang I gotta get steam working again [20:48] GodsFlaw: root is enough, but you need a partition marked as boot partition. swap is optional but recommended, too [20:48] Brand new owner of a System76 Pangolin Performance laptop. No audio, have tried everything I can think of and find online to fix / install the drivers. Does anyone have any suggestions?

[20:49] the installer does not make the root partition boot? [20:49] GodsFlaw: it does. just saying. you should not need to worry about that, sorry for the confusion. [20:50] you do not 'need' a seperate /boot/ partition. except in a few cases.. / can work as your boot partition [20:50] kk [20:50] GodsFlaw: so do you get into the boot menu, grub? did you add "text" parameter to the kernel line? [20:50] any idea then why I get the blinking cursor. Looks to me like ubuntu does not even get called. [20:50] I have tried installs on two disks. [20:51] I can start ubuntu from the usb [20:51] GodsFlaw, video card/chipset driver issues. [20:51] GodsFlaw, what is your video card? have you tried the nomodeset and text options yet to get to a console? [20:51] then why can I test ubuntu from usb? [20:51] its using a differnt video driver would be my guess [20:51] what IS your video chipset? [20:52] Anyone have suggestions for the no audio in Ubuntu issue? [20:52] I did do nomodeset. I loged into it useing usb and editid file. [20:52] asuse nividia [20:52] Silas_, over hdmi? or how exactly? [20:52] Anyone know how I can disable 3d effects in 13.04? [20:52] GodsFlaw, normally i boot to text mode, or do nomodeset to get into the system. then install the nvidia-current package to install my nvidia drivers [20:52] GodsFlaw: could you not access the boot menu, with the esc or shift key and edit it on the fly while booting for testing? [20:53] nope [20:53] Dr_willis, complete lack of audio on brand new laptop.

[20:57] TuomasT: yes [20:57] Yes, the non-dev packages contain the actual compiled libraries. [20:58] i thought if you installed foo-dev it depended on the foo packages anyway. so should install those as well [20:58] There is some work hunting down both versions, would be easier to install just a package with option (obtain also dev) === p is now known as Guest71572 [20:59] Well, unless all of boost is packaged by the distro, then I don't see it installing any non-dev packages [20:59] I've been able to do things like 'apt-get install pygame-*' in the past to get all the pygame stuff I might have needed (such as mixer, image, dev, ...) === babilen_ is now known as babilen [21:00] becnfecn: ccms?

[21:27] there is no longer a unity2d - if you are running in a VM. you may want to use lubuntu since it will be the lightest on resources [21:27] or use the older ubuntu that still has unity2d [21:27] lubuntu runs well for me in vbox === lahwran is now known as lahwran_ === lahwran_ is now known as lahwran [21:32] d [21:33] houseskateboard.blogspot.com.br === matthew_ is now known as Guest99325 [21:36] I have this question; when I have two systems installed on a pc, and run one of the systems, I can access the home folder of the other. how secure is this? suppose I accidentally downloaded some nasty file from the net, can this file access the other OS, or all OSes on the machine? [21:36] nasty file meaning some virus [21:37] anyone? [21:37] uvala, If a virus was targetting some directory on your windows partition, it'd have a hard time finding it through the Linux file system. [21:38] ZynACK, here is no Windows involved. all OSes on the machine are Linux, or Ubuntu, to be more precise. [21:38] You could setup chroot's so they are 'jailed' into that directory. [21:38] In that case, I suppose it's possible for a virus to find and infect files on different partitions. I could be wrong, though. Never had a virus in Linux.

[21:41] and using WHAT commands? [21:41] Sorry about that. I'm back [21:42] Should I explain it again? [21:43] Aurora, I guess I mixed it up with chmod. I am not really informed on chroot; before causing anything messy, is it possible to give a simple example of the command line to set permission i.e. for the home folder? [21:43] Is there a cad utility available for GNU/Linux Ubuntu that will allow me to...1. view .dwg OrCad files 2. convert .dwg files to gerber format [21:43] Errno: 5 (Input/output error), blank unit scsi sendcmd: no error CDB: A1 00 00 00 00 00 00 00 00 00 00 00 status: 0x2 (CHECK CONDITION) Sense Bytes: 70 00 05 00 00 00 00 0A 00 00 00 00 30 05 00 00 Sense Key: 0x5 Illegal Request, Segment 0 Sense Code: 0x30 Qual 0x05 (cannot write medium - incompatible format) Fru 0x0 Sense flags: Blk 0 (not valid) cmd finished after 0.001s timeout 9600s wodim: Cannot blank disk, aborting. [21:44] whats going on ubuntu [21:44] gridwest, there is a gerbv gerber file viewer, but I dont know if it converts files. [21:44] i have a question [21:44] uvala, this is a very basic video tutorial I followed and it worked for what I needed it to do. http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=XTyY3in5r6Q [21:44] is bad sectors on a hard drive permanent damage sometimes physical damage [21:45] ascidia002, are you looking at the SMART info? [21:45] ascidia002, it can be, however it is rare from my experiences. [21:46] Aurora, great, thank you so much, I'll watch it! [21:46] np [21:46] yes compdoc [21:46] ascidia002, does it show reallocated sectors or pending sectors? [21:46] I dont think you 'blank' optical disks - unless you are eraseing a RW disk. [21:46] im using puppy dog linux its the only thing i could get running on a live cd with hard drive bad sectors [21:47] ascidia002, the data in the RAW column [21:47] sorry to mention puppy in here [21:47] well i checked in windows too it has bad sectors and it said disk failure is imminent [21:47] cant just answer the questions? [21:48] well i cant answer it cuz im using puppy dog linux and i dont know how to check for that [21:48] its a small live os [21:48] In that case I would say it is more than likely physical damage. [21:48] im buying a new drive just wanted to know [21:48] Yeah, that is probably your best bet. [21:48] thx [21:49] np [21:49] im on a dell inspiron 1501 going to get a 160 gb hd off ebay for 33.25 with a 5 year warranty [21:49] laptop that is [21:49] seen 120gb SSD's in the $100 range and less on sale the other day. ;) [21:50] kewl [21:50] may be cheaper now. that was a month or 3 ago. [21:51] Wow, I need a couple of those lol. [21:52] Hi #ubuntu. I just got an inexpensive Dell inspiron laptop, and I've been trying to follow the instructions here: (http://nwoki.wordpress.com/2012/10/02/multitouch-fix-for-alps-touchpad/) for setting up the touchpad to, um, actually function properly. Everything goes fine until I do dkms autoinstall, at which point it starts and then breaks with an error "Import error: No module named apport". Is there anything I can do? Google's not helping much.

However when I do a ssh -T git@github.com im prompted for a pw for it..but I didnt set any (!) [22:07] MonkeyDust: doesnt work [22:07] I get that simple graphics mode crap [22:10] hi [22:10] hi [22:10] hi [22:10] is it possible to run java web applet through a proxy? [22:10] How do I make ubuntu not use the simple graphics mode? [22:10] it won't let me connect from my current ip [22:10] restart X [22:10] bjensen: might try with -v to see which key is offered [22:11] you probably have issues with dbus [22:12] apt-get remove dbus? [22:12] al__: Didnt work [22:12] no don't remove service dbus stop then start [22:13] al__: I stopped dbus [22:13] now my desktop is like three times as awesome [22:13] al__: dO I need dbus? [22:13] lolbat, very much so. [22:13] yes it's an interface into your hardware how ubuntu talks to hardware [22:14] al__: I dont notice any diffrence [22:14] you did reboot after installing the drivers? [22:14] Dr_willis: yes [22:14] Dr_willis: it frooze on shutdonw, and booted into simple graphics mode [22:14] hit it with a hammer ;) [22:14] I want to hit the 13.04 developer with a hammer [22:14] why didnt they fix this? [22:15] you may not but it should be the modern interface for talking to hardware instead of userspace [22:15] i imagine ati is as much to blame. [22:15] Dr_willis: it worked in 12.10 [22:15] @uvala thanks [22:15] new kernel. new drivers, ati may have removed support.. hard to tell [22:16] i got one ati video system here.. so i dont keep up with ati any more [22:16] Is there a linux application that will allow one to view .brd files? [22:16] gridwest, and whats a .brd file? [22:16] has any of you played wow on ubuntu? or any blizzard games [22:16] so from a little code diving it looks like the problem is that the dkms python file calls 'import apport' [22:16] evilytwisted, WoW can work in wine. === mike_ is now known as Guest78635 [22:16] and it's yelling that no such module exists [22:16] http://pastebin.ca/2374433 [22:16] Not sure what I can do about that [22:16] Does that look good?

[22:20] No, I will try it [22:22] If anybody has a good recommendation for a new laptop that will work well with ubuntu around the £350-450 zone, I'd be happy to hear your suggestions... The EeePC just died on me. :-/ [22:22] what is version of the catalyst driver on ubuntu 313.04? [22:23] thanks Dr_willis, that gives me a lead to work from [22:23] hey guys im trying to get samba set up and I'm having problems with permissions. I have the top level directory set up fine, users can write to it but another user can't read the files because they retain the user permissions. Is there a proper way to deal with that situation? before I copy paste a random script i found on the net to change permissions automatically when files are coppied to a directory... [22:23] chocolatedonuts, apport is ubuntu's bug reporting system. make sure that python-apport is already installed [22:24] it looks like there are a few options [22:24] i keep getting stuck doing install of irssi. i guess the server isnt responding??? [22:24] Do you want to continue [Y/n]? y [22:24] 0% [Connecting to us.archive.ubuntu.com] [22:24] Which one should I believe and why is there such a huge difference? http://goo.gl/5C2TP [22:25] kostkon: Aha, thanks. I didn't realize it had a python-specific package. Lemme try that. [22:25] Hey, I'm unable to have the setting of the unity bar's autohide reveal sensitivity to save. It continues to drop back to default, which makes it entirely too hard to unhide the unity bar with a touchpad. Any ideas? [22:26] kostkon: alright, now it's exiting with 'binary package for psmouse: alps-1.3 not found' [22:27] chocolatedonuts, hmm [22:27] F41L: I appear to be having the same result. No clue why :S [22:28] F41L: If I set mine, it keeps the setting, but nothing changes. I have a dual screen, what of you? [22:28] hello everyone [22:28] greetings ^.^ [22:29] how do i compile/make 32 bit source in 64 bit system? i encounter file class ELFCLASS32 incompatible with ELFCLASS64 [22:33] chocolatedonuts, did you follow the instructions correctly. it seems that the line dkms add psmouse/alps-dst-0.x is wrong and you should be calling it like this: dkms add psmouse-alps-dst-0.x [22:33] kostkon: I'll try that, and see if that changes anything [22:35] kostkon: it's throwing an error for invalid number of arguments passed, and says Usage: add / [22:35] oh ok [22:36] Hi [22:36] Anyone here experienced with netcat? [22:37] chocolatedonuts, are you giving the correct version to it, e.g. dkms add psmouse/alps-dst-0.4 ? [22:38] Hi I'm installing ubuntu 12.04 along side windows 7 though on 2 separate hard drives, so what device to i choose for bootloader installation? [22:39] Any reason for installing an older version? [22:39] umm its the LTS one [22:39] Muny, 12.04 is lts [22:39] kostkon: I think so. The one that I downloaded (and appears to be most up to date, from the comments) is 1.3, so I gave it sudo dkms add psmouse-alps-1.3 [22:40] hi, can anyone recommend an OSS alternative for adobe encore? i want to author dvd menus and flowchart dvd strutuctures [22:41] I tend to just use DeVeDe for my simple dvd video disk making needs [22:41] James_Epp: No, single screen (laptop) [22:42] Dr_willis: i'll check it out, thanks [22:42] rtn, you can put grub on the linux hd.. and set the bios to boot that hd. that way the windows HD will remain untouched [22:42] HenryTrollins, theres bound to be more advanced tools in the repos. i just dont use them [22:43] Dr_willis and then i set my primary boot HD to the linux one and grub will give an option to boot to win 7? [22:43] chocolatedonuts, when you unzipped it, did you remember to rename the folder psmouse-alps-1.3-alt to psmouse-alps-1.3 [22:43] kostkon: Lemme see about that [22:43] rtn, yes. it scans the system and has a menu for eveyr os [22:44] Dr_willis: yeah, i've been googling around as well [22:44] kostkon: Yeah, the folder's psmouse-alps-1.3 [22:44] ok and just to be clear i put it on /sdb not /sdb1 right [22:44] grub goes on the drive. :) not a partion.. so sdb not sdb1 [22:45] side note, i was reading about how swap space isnt necessary on systems with lots of memory, i have 12gb is the swap necessary? [22:46] rtn, To hibernate you want a swap equal to ram is all. [22:46] or ram+ a little bit more. [22:46] ok thanks guys === nevyn__ is now known as nevyn [22:48] what is the right sources.list line to install xcp-xapi in ubuntu 12.04 (precise) [22:48] thanks in advance [22:49] alright i found dvdauthor [22:49] that'll do [22:49] !info xcp-xapi [22:49] xcp-xapi (source: xen-api): Xen Cloud Platform - XenAPI server.

[23:00] silly question but when installing via preseed and using apt-cacher-ng how does one make the clients NOT reference the apt-cacher-ng in /etc/apt/sources.list after the install is done? [23:01] where can I disable the ctrl-q key combination to close applications? [23:03] Dr_willis ok did what you said, but now my bios wont recognize the drive with linux as a boot option [23:04] Hm [23:06] and when i force boot with this drive i get a black screen and blinking cursor [23:06] t [23:07] hi [23:07] anyone can help me with php?

[23:13] good night [23:13] lenovo, you just dont know how, or you have an error or something? [23:13] also #php might be a better place to ask than #ubuntu :-P [23:13] i do know how for a bounch of inputs, but the problem is how to do the same for a second bounch of inputs (question / answers) [23:14] i dont know how to parse the data with a while or so [23:14] i just dont find the way to solve the problem [23:14] foreach ($_POST as $input) [23:15] loop through the $_POST or $_GET array just like its any other array [23:15] yeah the problem is each post must be processed ina diferent way [23:15] rtn, How to do what? [23:15] remember its associative so ($_POST as $key => $value) also appropriate [23:15] wilee-nilee boot in text mode [23:15] !text | rtn [23:15] rtn: To start your system in text-only mode append 'text' (without the quotes) to the kernel line in the grub menu.

For more info see https://help.ubuntu.com/community/BootOptions#Text%20Mode [23:16] oh im not getting any menu where I can type commands [23:16] so that doesnt apply to me [23:16] rtn, I would try the nomodeset option, you may just need graphic drivers.

[23:55] lez, I have not messed with images in grub, so I can only read it like you. There is an old grub images thread at the ubuntu forum that might have some info. [23:56] lez, you have to modify system dirs with root rights via sudo. [23:56] wilee-nilee, I have installed Grub 2 GUI so its real easy to mod but I just need to get to the file in the boot folder or other system folder!
