| wilee-nilee | hemangpatel, The W8 is most likely a gpt uefi setup a little different then the past, good support at the ubuntu forums on this though. Back up the W8 onto a external first. | 00:00 |

| hemangpatel | omg. :( | 00:01 |
| netlar | When I change the folder Icon, it shows a border outline, how can I avoid that? | 00:01 |
| wilee-nilee | Or have oem discs you want your booty covered | 00:01 |
| hemangpatel | No problem :( I will try on vm. | 00:02 |
| wilee-nilee | hemangpatel, Good idea to start with. ;) | 00:02 |
| hemangpatel | I don't want to try new big changes, | 00:02 |
| nevyn | wilee-nilee: how long since you bought a laptop? even high end ones don't have recovery disks anymore. | 00:02 |
| hemangpatel | in laptop | 00:02 |
| nevyn | it's a pain in the ass. | 00:02 |
| wilee-nilee | nevyn, You can order them from the manufacturers. | 00:02 |
| wilee-nilee | nevyn, YOU can clone the setup, many ways to back stuff up. | 00:03 |
| nevyn | sure. cloneing. but most things ship with hidden "system" partitions to do recovery these days. | 00:03 |
| nevyn | and no original media at all (other than the contents of the hdd. | 00:03 |
| wilee-nilee | nevyn, And anyone who relies on those is a fool. | 00:04 |
| hemangpatel | I have 12.04 in desktop (dual boot). So only upgrade button will upgrade to 13.04 ? | 00:04 |
| Ghost_562 | hemangpatel, i personally recommend installing the os as new, but you can upgrade via that. it will tell you to what os it will upgrade to | 00:05 |
| wilee-nilee | hemangpatel, Through 12.10 | 00:05 |
| hemangpatel | yes | 00:05 |
| hemangpatel | I have seen that now more people are using ubuntu.. Waiting of mobile release. | 00:06 |

| jamesgcd | Hey guys, does anyone know a solution to this problem? Basically, Ubuiquity can't install Ubuntu to my computer alongside Windows 8, because Windows 8 has been installed in legacy BIOS mode although my computer supports UEFI, and it doesn't recognise any partitions at all on the drive. Has anyone any suggestions on fixing that :)? | 00:23 |
| OerHeks | !uefi | 00:25 |
| ubottu | UEFI is a specification that defines a software interface between an operating system and platform firmware, it is meant as a replacement for the BIOS. For information on how to set up and install Ubuntu and its derivatives on UEFI machines please read https://help.ubuntu.com/community/UEFI | 00:25 |

| Mandr4K | Boa Noite Pessoal | 00:26 |
| jamesgcd | Hey OerHeks, I've read the page but it's not quite what I'm having a problem with. I can get Ubuntu to stall perfectly fine either in BIOS or UEFI mode without problem, that is if deleting Windows isn't a problem, which unfortunately it is. Have you any suggestions on what to do about that (again, installing Ubuntu isn't a problem per se, installing it without losing Windows is, as Gparted or whatever backend isn't identifying a sin | 00:28 |
| an0n | Free Anakata! | 00:30 |
| an0n | An0nym0us still here! | 00:31 |
| OerHeks | jamesgcd, i do not have an uefi device, all i understand is to disable secure boot and follow the instructions | 00:31 |
| wilee-nilee | jamesgcd, Best support in general I have seen on uefi is at the ubuntu forums. | 00:31 |
| jamesgcd | OerHeks: Well thanks for the suggestion, but unfortunately it doesn't make a difference here :/. wilee-nilee: I'll head to the forums, thanks for the idea ;). | 00:32 |
| * nevyn has a UEFI laptop.. ubuntu installs fine | 00:32 | |
| wilee-nilee | jamesgcd, Look for a mod to be your best help. | 00:32 |
| wilee-nilee | nevyn, Good for you, however different manufacturers have their own tweaks to the secure boot, it can be hit and miss for some. ;) | 00:33 |
| jamesgcd | wilee-nilee: I'd take the help from anyone :p! I just think no one else has this problem, all the other UEFI problems involve Grub typically, and this one involves Gparted, and I've never seen that before. Again though, thanks for trying :p | 00:33 |
| nevyn | wilee-nilee: I still can't install debian tho :( | 00:34 |
| jamesgcd | nevyn: Debian 7 has just added UEFI support (and was released 2 days ago, IIRC), but secure boot isn't supported yet | 00:35 |

| jamesgcd | wilee-nilee: It's what I'm asuming, although from my knowledge of partition tables (which is limited), I'm not using gpt, I'm using good old ms-dos, although I could be comparing apples and oranges here | 00:38 |
| nevyn | jamesgcd: I've filed an installation report which was studiously ignored... | 00:39 |

| global12 | :) | 00:41 |
| global12 | yes I am | 00:41 |
| global12 | I am friend of people | 00:41 |
| jair | guys I am in the ubuntu page [network install] alternative distro and I am trying to find some sort of iso but I get all the files for netinstall... normally I have an iso | 00:41 |
| global12 | :P | 00:41 |
| global12 | jair google ubuntu full iso | 00:41 |
| jair | does this mean I can point to this address boot ubuntu mini.iso and the net installation will be executed? | 00:41 |
| jamesgcd | wilee-nilee: I honestly have no idea. this computer was originally windows 7, upgraded to windows 8, tried to swap windows UEFI from regular BIOS, broke it, had a system which could load in both bios AND uefi, although crashed at both, eventually fixed that, but found nothing would install right. I believe I've a broken partition table entirely, which is really a bad place to be in, but there's always a chance its something else (ho | 00:42 |
| global12 | who knows here how I can launch applications across say 10 aws instances at once? | 00:42 |
| jair | global12: I am not looking for the full CD, I normally use netinst iso for Linux Debian | 00:42 |
| global12 | anyone used OpsWorks? | 00:42 |
| jair | global12: that is a nice question, have you look into juju? | 00:42 |
| jair | global12: I think you can do something similar with it | 00:43 |

| jair | global12: are you currently using EC2? | 00:43 |
| jair | AWS | 00:43 |
| global12 | jair yes | 00:43 |
| global12 | ec2 rds | 00:43 |
| jamesgcd | nevyn: just to clear it up, secure boot is a feature UEFI provides, but it's not UEFI itself, secure boot is a mechanism where your computer attempts to verify certain changes in the bootup cycle in order to prevent malicious tampering, although it requires a key which typically would be bought from VeriSign on behalf of Microsoft, I'm assuming Debian didn't buy this key and thus it can't be verified, which is why UEFI works and but | 00:43 |
| jair | global12: nice nice | 00:44 |
| nevyn | jamesgcd: I'm well aware... | 00:44 |
| global12 | funny their ubuntu distro comes with 2 ephemeral drives | 00:44 |
| jair | global12: you mean the amazon one? | 00:44 |
| global12 | yes | 00:44 |
| jamesgcd | nevyn: ah, just making sure :p! | 00:44 |
| nevyn | jamesgcd: I read mjg59's blog (other than ad hominiem crack) and lwn ;) | 00:44 |
| global12 | root from ebs and for some reason 2 instant mem drives | 00:44 |
| global12 | I deleted them prior to launch seems to work | 00:45 |
| alps | jamesgcd: maybe just an invalid partition table? http://gparted.sourceforge.net/h2-fix-msdos-pt.php | 00:45 |
| jamesgcd | nevyn: can't honestly say I've heard of either of them, I'll google them sometime :p | 00:45 |

| thurstylark | I'm guessing. | 01:23 |

| jair | thurstylark: hahaha | 01:23 |
| wilee-nilee | called the alternative now | 01:23 |
| jair | thurstylark: thanks for all the information by the way, I have the directory for netinst but I was wondering what I should do with the rest of the files | 01:23 |
| thurstylark | jair: I just saw that I got a ping, but i can't scroll back too far :P | 01:23 |
| thurstylark | jair: you trying the net install? | 01:24 |
| jair | thurstylark: basically what I am doing is looking for the iso that I can put in a usb stick and install in my laptop | 01:24 |
| loganlee | jair: ok... | 01:24 |
| jair | wilee-nilee: thank you for the clarification, I saw the mini.sio in the netinst directory | 01:24 |
| jair | loganlee: ? | 01:25 |
| crankharder | my user is in the 'sudo' group, and i've add a NOPASSWD line to my sudoers file (for both the user and the group), but i'm still getting prompted for my password, any ideas why? here's some output: https://gist.github.com/crankharder/cdde4dffad4f79ee7724 | 01:25 |
| wilee-nilee | jair, an alternative actually among others. http://www.ubuntu.com/download/alternative-downloads | 01:25 |
| jair | wilee-nilee: I saw that. I am in that page and the directories for the latest version has a couple of files plus the mini.iso | 01:26 |
| wilee-nilee | crankharder, Whys would you do that? | 01:26 |
| jair | wilee-nilee: so I will download that and create my usb installer | 01:26 |
| crankharder | wilee-nilee: for the awesomes | 01:26 |
| thurstylark | jair: Ahh. Well, any of the iso's will work, you just have to get it on the usb drive right. | 01:26 |
| jamesgcd | Hey, as a followup to my previous issue, it does indeed seem my partition table is corrupt and is mislabled as gtp (or conversely, gtp mislabled as ms-dos if you look at it the other way around). However, runing sudo gdisk and pointing it at /dev/sda has offered me the option of repairing the drive, I'll see how it works out now :) | 01:27 |
| jair | thurstylark: right, I am interested in the text base and smallest ;) I can install the rest from the network | 01:27 |
| wilee-nilee | crankharder, That is not awesomeness it is stupidity. ;) | 01:27 |
| crankharder | wilee-nilee: your'e saying the guy that added NOPASSWD to sudoers is stupid? | 01:28 |
| bluebomber | How can I obtain the name of the process corresponding to a taskbar icon? | 01:29 |
| jamesgcd | Woohoo, Gparted correctly identifies my partitions and now I should be able to explore in Linux Land again properly :)! Thankyou to everyone who helped ^_^ | 01:31 |
| jair | in this directory "/ubuntu/dists/raring/main/installer-amd64/current/images/netboot" there is a mini.iso | 01:31 |
| thurstylark | jair: it would be this one: http://releases.ubuntu.com/12.04/ubuntu-12.04.2-alternate-i386.iso.torrent | 01:31 |

| acovrig | wilee-nilee, I am running without X, accessing via sshfs... | 01:42 |
| zykotick9 | acovrig: i think wilee-nilee's "gksudo nautilus" is a bad suggestion. just mount the drive, and change permissions on the mount point - done. | 01:42 |
| acovrig | and I am not going to allow root login via ssh | 01:42 |
| wilee-nilee | probably so my bad. | 01:43 |
| acovrig | zykotick9, u mean chmod 777 mount; sudo mount /dev/sdX mnt | 01:43 |
| zykotick9 | acovrig: mount first, then chmod. | 01:43 |

| celso | people, if i have a usb3 hdd disc (wich can achieve up to 450mb/s) will it have almost the same speed on my normal sata connection? or will i have the usual 70mb/s? | 01:46 |
| Muny | What SATA revision is it? | 01:48 |
| celso | sata 2 | 01:48 |
| Muny | Theoretically, you can get 300 MB/s out of SATA 2 | 01:48 |
| Mavrik | celso, just what kind of magical HDD do you have that can do 450MB/s? | 01:49 |
| === hades is now known as Guest83882 | ||
| Muny | Might be an SSD? | 01:49 |
| celso | well, i've read that in theory, usb3 allows up to 450mb/s speed. And its no ssd. | 01:50 |
| swordsmanz | Muny: i 4 part raid drive can get up to that speed with no problems :S | 01:50 |
| Mavrik | Muny, considering "usual 70MB/s" it looks too me like a rather standard 5400rpm drive :) | 01:50 |
| Mavrik | celso, there is no HDD out there capable of reading data off platters with that speed | 01:50 |
| swordsmanz | actually 5400 rpm is hopelesslyy outdated | 01:51 |
| Muny | Funny, because I can barely get 20 MB/s on my 7200 RPM Barracuda | 01:51 |
| Mavrik | celso, so no, switching from 450MB/s bus to a 300MB/s bus won't make your max 100MB/s HDD any faster ;) | 01:51 |
| celso | well, i tlhink i explayned bad. | 01:51 |
| celso | let me try again. | 01:51 |
| Muny | >explayned | 01:51 |

| loganlee | mmmmm | 01:52 |
| swordsmanz | yes its sad ppl stand for it | 01:52 |
| Muny | *rpm | 01:52 |
| Muny | for less power usage | 01:52 |
| Mavrik | swordsmanz, honestly, for external storage couldn't care less | 01:52 |
| Mavrik | especially since 7200s tend to require double USB power supply | 01:53 |
| Mavrik | at least on more cheapish laptops :) | 01:53 |
| celso | imagine that i buy an 500GB HDD 5400rpm with support usb3. wich is the maximum speed that i get with it on my sata2? | 01:53 |
| swordsmanz | i guess it depends what you use your hard drive for i | 01:53 |
| Mavrik | celso, about 60-80 MB/s of sustained read since the HDD itself can't read faster. | 01:53 |
| celso | damn | 01:53 |
| Mavrik | celso, speed of the connection from computer to the HDD won't make a difference | 01:54 |
| Mavrik | since it's not what's limiting you ;) | 01:54 |
| celso | and an HDD 7400rpm? | 01:54 |
| Mavrik | usually around 70-90 :) | 01:54 |
| === jacob_ is now known as Guest15221 | ||
| Guest15221 | Hey does anyone know about network drivers? | 01:54 |

| Mavrik | celso, just how much DID you expect? | 01:54 |
| Mavrik | it's not like we ever had faster HDDs :P | 01:54 |
| celso | well, at least about 200MB/s | 01:55 |
| Mavrik | even SSDs rarely go over 150MB/s in real world | 01:55 |
| Mavrik | except for short times | 01:55 |
| celso | ahhh | 01:55 |
| celso | i though it would make a diference, since its usb 3. | 01:56 |
| celso | so, what is the purpose of the usb3? | 01:56 |
| Mavrik | again, that's the speed of the connection, not the actual hardware :P | 01:56 |

| swordsmanz | Mavrik: no you won't yet but as soon as drives hit 400mb/s or so usb will just cease up and slow right down to a halt | 02:00 |
| === global12 is now known as alex_fun | ||
| Mavrik | swordsmanz, you mean "will continue to work with 400MB/s" :P | 02:01 |
| Mavrik | and yes, I'd very much like a future where we have 400MB/s external drivers | 02:01 |
| Mavrik | *drives | 02:01 |
| Mavrik | but we're still "a little bit" short ;) | 02:01 |
| makara | (13.04) after an update desktop wallpaper won't display and sound doesn't work. 'Dummy driver' it says. Worst of all Software Centre crashes on opening every time. :( | 02:01 |
| celso | makara, are you using hybrid graphics? | 02:02 |
| makara | celso, what is that? | 02:02 |
| celso | if you have dual graphics card? | 02:02 |
| eddievanhoy | Hello. Does any know of a program that can make a image of my current ubuntu setup? Like norton ghost on windows. | 02:02 |
| swordsmanz | Mavrik: no i mean it will start slowing down to about 200mbs every time the system makes a read | 02:02 |
| loganlee | yeh does ubuntu support dual graphics card? | 02:03 |
| makara | celso, i have intel and nvidia on my laptop | 02:03 |
| samthewildone | I installed flash through ubuntu software, however chromium has a few page tearing and flash glitches. | 02:03 |
| loganlee | eddievanhoy: hmmm good thing | 02:03 |
| ekaJake | Oh hey celso. Yeah the drivers aren't even showing up. | 02:03 |
| Mavrik | loganlee, general rule of thumb is "no" | 02:03 |
| loganlee | Mavrik: ook | 02:03 |
| Mavrik | loganlee, the actual answer "depends" | 02:03 |
| eddievanhoy | loganlee? Is that a yes? | 02:03 |
| Dr_willis | samthewildone, be happy flash works at all.. theres a lot of peopel that cant get it working. | 02:03 |
| celso | loganlee: https://help.ubuntu.com/community/HybridGraphics | 02:03 |
| loganlee | eddievanhoy: i dont know but im sure there is | 02:04 |
| makara | I've just installed ubuntu tweak and it won't open either | 02:04 |
| ekaJake | It works fine under while running off the usb though. | 02:04 |
| Dr_willis | samthewildone, google-chrome has its own flash built in that might work better | 02:04 |
| eddievanhoy | ok thank you | 02:04 |
| celso | makara i think the use of hybrid graphics is what is causing that. | 02:04 |
| ekaJake | But when I install ubuntu to the harddrive it forgets about the drivers I guess, | 02:04 |
| Mavrik | loganlee, namely: most of the dual graphics machines out there are nVidia ones and there's a hit-and-miss on whether they are supported with bumblebee | 02:04 |
| neytiri | i am havinng a issue with my desktop, for some reason the system keeps goign into standby wheni am using it saying that tha battery is critically low | 02:04 |
| loganlee | ook | 02:05 |
| === DarkAce-Z is now known as DarkAceZ | ||
| Mavrik | loganlee, and even then you get like 30% performance penalty on discrete graphics due to mem copies | 02:05 |
| celso | makara what do you use to shutdown one of the card? | 02:05 |
| Mavrik | so… buy intel for Linux :D | 02:05 |
| makara | celso, I don't do any switching. And I don't agree. Why would that affect the sound card? | 02:06 |
| iuiself | so this is an chatting room for ubuntu users? | 02:06 |
| nevyn | yes | 02:06 |
| wilee-nilee | iuiself, Support | 02:06 |
| === dominic_ is now known as mdih | ||
| makara | celso, and why would the desktop not show even if I am using one or the other card? | 02:06 |
| Mavrik | because it requires working HW acceleration | 02:07 |
| whoever | hi all i am using multisession to make multiboot usb, i have usb's mounted under /media. but when i run the program they are not detected, can someone assist | 02:07 |
| nevyn | loganlee: the many permutations of connecting GPU's to displays and connectors are all fully explored in the market. | 02:07 |
| celso | makara: my pc have intel + ati cards, and when i use vgaswitcheroo to shutdown one card, it disables the sound. | 02:07 |
| iuiself | 有用中文的么？原来是个随机聊天工具，第一次用这个 | 02:07 |
| wilee-nilee | !cn | iuiself | 02:08 |

| celso | or you can define a fbcon | 02:09 |
| wilee-nilee | iuiself, I think you had a space before it. | 02:09 |
| g0th | hi | 02:10 |
| samthewildone | trying to install google-chrome.deb but I get "libudevo0 " missing. | 02:10 |
| g0th | how can I prevent java from finding out my real ip? | 02:10 |
| neytiri | i am havinng a issue with my desktop, for some reason the system keeps going into standby when i am using it saying that the battery is critically low | 02:10 |
| ekaJake | Celso, why would the ethernet cable only work while running ubuntu from a usb? | 02:10 |
| iuiself | oh, thank you wilee-nilee , | 02:10 |
| samthewildone | I try the apt-get "install" *** but, nothing | 02:10 |
| wilee-nilee | iuiself, ;) | 02:10 |
| g0th | iirc "java.net.InetAddress.getLocalHost().getHostAddress();" gives the ip address even behind nat/proxy | 02:10 |
| celso | ekajake what is your ethernet card? | 02:11 |
| wilee-nilee | samthewildone, Try installing gdebi and see if it finds dependencies. | 02:11 |
| ekaJake | Do you mean my driver? | 02:11 |
| ekaJake | It's a blue cable I'm using. | 02:12 |
| celso | no. the name of your card | 02:12 |
| ekaJake | What is a network card, a device or software? | 02:13 |
| MouseTheLuckyDog | What would be a good way to create a text menu/grid in a script? I was thinking dialog or whiptail. | 02:13 |
| wilee-nilee | samthewildone, you sure it is not "libudev0" | 02:13 |
| cpare | Line of the night "It's a blue cable I'm using." | 02:13 |
| giraffe | is it just me, or is vmware a pos? | 02:13 |
| loganlee | MouseTheLuckyDog: ncurses | 02:13 |
| samthewildone | my mistake its libudev0 | 02:14 |
| MouseTheLuckyDog | loganlee, ncurses from bash? | 02:14 |
| samthewildone | http://packages.ubuntu.com/lucid/amd64/libudev0/download | 02:14 |
| loganlee | MouseTheLuckyDog: no C | 02:14 |
| cpare | giraffe - are you using VMX, ESX, or Server | 02:14 |
| ekaJake | Is there something I should run in the terminal? | 02:14 |
| makara | ok, well I don't like to jump to conclusions. Everything was working fine 2 days ago and I didn't go changing any graphics settings | 02:14 |
| samthewildone | wilee-nilee, I just downloaded and installed it from that link I posted, now able to install g-chrome | 02:15 |

| cpare | Giraffe - Server used to be the free version, I am not sure if it's still available | 02:15 |
| giraffe | cpare: im trying to build a multi node multi tennant self serv virtualized 'cloud' | 02:15 |

| KyleK | Greetings | 02:25 |
| giraffe | welcome | 02:26 |
| makara | is someone messing around with linux directories? I notice in classic-menu indicator things are organised differently. There's now sundry and utilities folders. Maybe that's why wallpaper, soundcard and software centre are all giving problems now?? | 02:26 |
| Dr_willis | makara, i dont see how those 2 would be related. | 02:26 |
| RTFMPLZ | hello | 02:27 |
| Dr_willis | and the menu layout is defined by the various .desktop launcher files | 02:27 |
| KyleK | I have a problem with a failed driver install... im trying to delete the drivers but its telling me it cant find the Package. | 02:27 |
| KyleK | E: Unable to locate package fglrx_12.104-0ubuntu1_amd64.deb | 02:27 |
| Dr_willis | KyleK, the package name is NOT the same as the 'deb file name' | 02:27 |
| KyleK | the package is there in the home folder.... | 02:27 |
| === RTFMPLZ is now known as r_t_f_m | ||
| Dr_willis | you could rename fungame.deb to be foo.deb and install it.. and the package name does NOT change | 02:28 |
| KyleK | Is there anyway to point the cmd "sudo apt-get remove --purge fglrx fglrx_* fglrx-amdcccle* fglrx-dev*" to where the package is to uninstall? | 02:28 |
| makara | Dr_willis, how can I find out why software centre crashes? You can throw the book at me | 02:29 |
| makara | it doesn't give the usual application crashed, send info to canonical dialog | 02:30 |
| KyleK | Dr_Willis: I have a link to my askubuntu.com thread for you to read all the specifics of the problem if that would help | 02:30 |
| netlar | So the next version of Ubuntu is 13.10? | 02:31 |
| Dr_willis | makara, run it from terminal and look for error messages would be the first thing i would try | 02:32 |
| Dr_willis | KyleK, apt-get remove fgl<TABKEY> should auto complete package names i belive | 02:33 |
| === _BJFreeman is now known as BJfreeman | ||
| KyleK | will try that... gimme a minute | 02:33 |
| Dr_willis | netlar, yes. the version # is the year.month of release. every 6 Mo. | 02:34 |
| netlar | Dr_willis: did not know how that was numbered thanks | 02:34 |
| netlar | is the .04 release the LTS or are they doing that anymore? | 02:35 |
| nevyn | 12.04 is lts | 02:35 |
| Dr_willis | i forget ;) every 2 years? i rarely worry about lts or not | 02:35 |
| whoever | Dr_willis: i am tring to use multisession to make a multiboot usb but the program will not recognise my usb, got any ideas or know of a better way to do this | 02:35 |
| nevyn | lts are 2 or 3 years | 02:35 |
| netlar | I heard they are not doing the 10 year LTS anymore | 02:36 |
| Dr_willis | whoever, the pendrivelinxu site and other sites have cli guides on setting up grub2 to boot iso files from a usb flash. ive done it that way befor. | 02:36 |
| makara | x error | 02:36 |
| Dr_willis | whoever, its a bit complex if you dont understand grub2 | 02:36 |
| KyleK | okay that worked... now for the money question. | 02:37 |
| Dr_willis | http://www.pendrivelinux.com/boot-multiple-iso-from-usb-via-grub2-using-linux/ | 02:39 |
| KyleK | The "Additional Drivers" utility; is it supposed to show the ati/fglrx device once the fglrx packages are install and you do a --initial on them? | 02:39 |
| whoever | Dr_willis: corract but the app that i am triig to use wouldn't even recognise my thumbdrive | 02:40 |
| Dr_willis | KyleK, some times it gets confused and dosent know what video card/drivers it should install. | 02:40 |
| KyleK | >.< thats wonderful. | 02:40 |
| Dr_willis | whoever, try mounting it by hand perhaps? it may have some other issue thats the whole problem | 02:40 |
| KyleK | <--windows guru.... linux dummy :( | 02:40 |
| whoever | Dr_willis: the cli guide looks easier then the frustrting script that doesnt seem to work | 02:40 |
| Dr_willis | then you got ati that removes cards as quick as they can from the linux drivers because it makes for less work for them | 02:40 |
| Dr_willis | whoever, that guide is 3 yrs old however.. its not to complex. if you know some linux basics. | 02:41 |
| whoever | Dr_willis: i triec that i can clearly mount see and access the thumb drive by hand | 02:41 |
| lucky1_ | anyone here | 02:41 |
| Mac_Write | Yup | 02:41 |
| KyleK | right i gathered that much. however there are legacy driver packs avail from ati. and i used the exact one the tut i used said to use for its stability | 02:41 |
| Dr_willis | legacy drivers may or may not work with newer kernels. or versions of X. | 02:42 |

| Mac_Write | I want to check out ofer DE's | 02:43 |
| Dr_willis | Mac_Write, install whatever other desktop env. you want.. then select them at the login screen. | 02:43 |

| wilee-nilee | overlord, Any other OS's? | 02:47 |
| === Guest79237 is now known as Termana | ||

| trakowski77 | bwat47: let me check that | 02:48 |
| Mac_Write | What package do I need to install GNOME (I want to try all the different evirments out :D) | 02:48 |
| bwat47 | Mac_Write, sudo apt-get install gnome-shell should do it | 02:48 |
| wilee-nilee | overlord, you might try the bootrepair tool, it will generate a bootinfo summary save the url or just runit and post it. | 02:49 |

| bwat47 | trakowski77, possibly, did you try restarting the shell after? | 02:50 |
| trakowski77 | yes, mutliple times | 02:50 |
| Muny | Mac_Write: that's quite a long time ago | 02:50 |
| trakowski77 | bwat47: I've seen the problem on 3 different machines | 02:51 |
| Dr_willis | Mac_Write, install a virtual machne on os-x and run linux in it | 02:51 |
| trakowski77 | bwat47: 2 of them upgrades, 1 of them clean install | 02:51 |
| Dr_willis | Mac_Write, or install some X server, and just do X forwarding | 02:51 |
| Mac_Write | Yuo been using Darwin with Aqua Desktop Envirtment for 13 years | 02:51 |
| trakowski77 | bwat47: the only thing in common between them is that all have chrome installed | 02:51 |
| Mac_Write | I am running Parells | 02:51 |
| trakowski77 | bwat47: and that means they all have libudev0 | 02:52 |

| roasted | Hello friends | 02:59 |
| dank101 | hi | 02:59 |
| loganlee | hello roasted | 02:59 |
| roasted | I'm trying to play an MP4 file with Totem, but it's saying "This file is corrupt and cannot be played." VLC, SMplayer, etc etc etc all work. Restricted extras installed, 13.04 box. What am I missing? | 03:00 |
| loganlee | hmmmm | 03:00 |
| wilee-nilee | overlord, THe mbr still has the windows bootloader run the basic fix in the bootrepair. | 03:00 |
| dank101 | it's probably corrupt | 03:00 |
| bwat47 | roasted, sounds like theres something wrong with that file and vlc and mplayer are just more tolerant of it, either that or some kinda gstreamer bug | 03:00 |
| overlord | wilee-nilee: hnnm i noticed | 03:01 |
| roasted | bwat47: I doubt there's something wrong with the file. My surveillance system puts out a new MP4 every 60 seconds. All of them act the same. | 03:01 |
| loganlee | a new mp4 every 60 seconds? | 03:01 |
| roasted | loganlee: yes | 03:02 |
| dank101 | dats abit fast | 03:02 |
| roasted | loganlee: my cameras record 247 and save the feeds over samba to my server. It auto-creates directories for each day/hour and inside there's a new mp4 for each minute | 03:02 |
| dank101 | roasted, probably corrupted for the minute | 03:03 |
| roasted | the file is not corrupted.... | 03:03 |
| dank101 | you can never really tell | 03:04 |
| Dr_willis | post one of the files online for other users to test in their totem player perhaps? i never really use totem | 03:04 |
| aaas | any way to run a command in the background, run a sleep command and then kill the original command with a SINGLE command from console <1> &; sleep 10; kill $! complainst about the '&' | 03:04 |
| dank101 | unless you know the danm'd hashes | 03:05 |
| dank101 | for EVERY POSSIBLE mp4 EVER | 03:05 |
| roasted | Dr_willis: sure, one second. | 03:05 |
| Muny | A new MP4 for each minute 0.o | 03:06 |
| Muny | Isn't that a little...extensive? | 03:06 |
| wilee-nilee | overlord, I do notice this though in the script "The boot of your PC is in EFI mode, but no EFI partition was detected. You may want to retry after creating a EFI partition (FAT32, 100MB~250MB, start of the disk, boot flag).Do you want to continue?" This an apple computer or a former windows uefi? | 03:06 |
| Dr_willis | seems a little over kill. ;) | 03:06 |
| wilee-nilee | Dr_willis, Everyone has their own tinfoil hats, lol. | 03:07 |
| roasted | I'm failing to see why a new MP4 every minute is a difficult concept to grasp. | 03:07 |
| dank101 | roasted, "MINUTE" | 03:07 |
| roasted | The cameras do 247 recording. That's their job. | 03:07 |
| overlord | wilee-nilee: I had windows 8 on an 80 GB hard drive before, which I have removed from my system now. I tried install Windows 8 on this 2 TB hard drive, but failed, probably because I have installing it from an SD card. Then I thought of install ubuntu instead, which I did, but it wasn't booting | 03:08 |
| wilee-nilee | overlord, I'm not real up on UEFI, but I think it is in the motherboard, you can set it as legacy I believe for installs, not sure really. | 03:09 |

| wilee-nilee | !uefi | overlord Just more info. | 03:10 |
| ubottu | overlord Just more info.: UEFI is a specification that defines a software interface between an operating system and platform firmware, it is meant as a replacement for the BIOS. For information on how to set up and install Ubuntu and its derivatives on UEFI machines please read https://help.ubuntu.com/community/UEFI | 03:10 |
| overlord | wilee-nilee: I read somewhere that you need UEFI when you install an OS on a 2TiB or higher partition. Also read that you don't need it if you create smaller partitions. Pretty confused about it | 03:11 |
| wilee-nilee | overlord, It is gpt for more than 2 tb I think, if the computer was a uefi to begin with the uefi link should help. | 03:11 |
| overlord | wilee-nilee: the boot-repair is done. will be back after a restart. hope it works and i don't have to come back from the live USB stick | 03:12 |
| wilee-nilee | uefi and gpt are used together in MS W8 installs though | 03:12 |
| zykotick9 | overlord: don't confuse gpt and uefi - they're VERY different things. | 03:12 |
| wilee-nilee | true | 03:12 |
| overlord | zykotick9: a'right. i shall find out more about it after a restart.. | 03:13 |

| phix | hum4n1c1d3: well yes, the context as in I had no idea what you were talking about until wilee-nilee posted that link | 03:22 |
| phix | hum4n1c1d3: juts using the word play by itself can mean several things | 03:23 |
| phix | s/juts/just/ | 03:23 |
| hum4n1c1d3 | phix: it's a wine interface to play *.exe games | 03:23 |
| hum4n1c1d3 | or something like that xD | 03:23 |
| michael87 | can't believe I'm sayying this but I'm glad I'm on ubuntu now on my laptop. as much as I loved windows 7 raring ringtail has been very enjoyable and full of features I don't want to give up now | 03:23 |

| phix | what video card is in your computer? | 03:26 |

| Dr_willis | hum4n1c1d3, ive had to make up scripts in the past to make up for wine not closeing/restoreing the res properly. | 03:26 |
| hum4n1c1d3 | my video card is a ATI HD 6970 | 03:26 |
| Dr_willis | the xrandr tools should be able to set the res back to normal | 03:27 |
| hum4n1c1d3 | Dr_willis: interesting :D | 03:27 |
| phix | hum4n1c1d3: hmmmmm, have you tried the propritary drivers? | 03:27 |

| phix | hum4n1c1d3: hmmmm, and it happens with all games or one? | 03:28 |
| hum4n1c1d3 | phix: well I tried with only one game until now (this is a fresh installation of ubuntu 13) | 03:29 |
| Dr_willis | roasted, well the 'file' info for your mp4 is differnt then what it is for my mp4's - I cant even get yours to play in vlc or avidemux on my linux VM. it does play in vlc on windows | 03:29 |
| roasted | Dr_willis: no idea, I don't have windows here. | 03:29 |
| roasted | Dr_willis: that mp4 plays fine in smplayer and vlc for me... | 03:29 |
| roasted | Dr_willis: I assume you downloaded the full clip and tried locally? | 03:29 |
| phix | oh is 13.04 out now? I haven't even tried that yet | 03:29 |
| DemoOn | i just installed ubuntu , restarted after installation and i get only purple screen, how could i fix that? | 03:30 |
| Dr_willis | roasted, file says yours is using the 3gpp codec. my mp4 files dont mention that. | 03:30 |
| hum4n1c1d3 | the game runs in 542x420 phix (I guess) | 03:30 |
| roasted | I wonder why that is. | 03:30 |
| roasted | Dr_willis: how could you tell | 03:31 |
| Dr_willis | roasted, i used the 'file' command on the files. ;) | 03:31 |
| Dr_willis | it gives a bit of info | 03:31 |

You can access the grub menu by pressing Esc (Grub legacy) or Shift (Grub2) during boot. For more info see https://help.ubuntu.com/community/BootOptions#Text%20Mode | 03:32 |

| hum4n1c1d3 | phix: don't worry, is almost the same ubuntu than 12.10 | 03:32 |
| Dr_willis | michael87, use the source, or find a ppa. | 03:32 |
| roasted | Dr_willis: you're right. The MP4 that worked for me doesn't mention that codec. | 03:32 |
| Pinkamena_D | (i.e. make it so they do not) | 03:32 |
| roasted | Dr_willis: I'll look on my cams and see if there are any codec settings. I KNOW I had this working before with totem on 12.04/10 | 03:33 |

| michael87 | dr.willis, I am using raring ringtail very impressed. Found out that avidemux hasn't made it for raring yet. so I probably going to use the 12.04 source for software sources for now | 03:40 |
| hum4n1c1d3 | phix: I have a partial solution to my problem | 03:41 |
| Rosemary_ | I installed it from Ubuntu. I want my homepage, bookmarks, files, and everything I had | 03:41 |
| michael87 | dr. willis, raring ringtail made me happy enough to completely give up windows on my laptop. Though no pc games would be a bummer there are too many features on here that 7 didn't have. I still love 7 but this is flat out awsome | 03:41 |
| hum4n1c1d3 | keep using the free drivers, then reboot and everything back to normal :D | 03:42 |
| michael87 | dr.willis, also I love the hot corners feature. Again nummerious features 7 didn't have that are innovative and brilliant | 03:42 |

| loganlee | so... | 03:48 |
| michael87 | loganlee, yeah but its basicly a paid for version of wine. So basicly its like wine I guess. I could attempt a reinstall via wine. Hopefully it will run after that but I don't see why crossover won't do that job | 03:48 |
| loganlee | it's only good for running games prob'ly | 03:48 |

I'm pretty content with it. Raring ringtail is very fast and the hot corners feature is actually adicting. plus I use my laptop for art. wich linux is awsome for becuase gimp is fantastic with it while on windows gimp lags like hell | 03:54 |

| wilee-nilee | rosemary_, Which it probablly is grub is the bootloader we awant grub to show windows, so the sudo update-grub will search for it band add it to the grub menu for you to choose. | 04:25 |
| wilee-nilee | band=and sorry | 04:25 |
| rosemary_ | so what do i put in next | 04:27 |
| wilee-nilee | rosemary_, If you ran sudo update-grub did you see a windows notation. | 04:27 |
| wilee-nilee | rosemary_, you are looking for this Found Windows 7 (loader) | 04:30 |
| rosemary_ | after I put in sudo update-grub and clicked enter it brought up {sudo} password for rosemary: that is all | 04:32 |
| wilee-nilee | rosemary_, YOU then enter your user password it will not show though then hit enter. | 04:32 |
| rosemary_ | ok | 04:33 |
| wilee-nilee | rosemary_, sudo means you are running as a super user a password is always needed with kit. | 04:33 |
| wilee-nilee | it* | 04:33 |
| rosemary_ | does it want the password i used in windows | 04:35 |
| wilee-nilee | rosemary_, No the one you put in for you when you installed ubuntu, windows and ubuntu are separate operating systems. | 04:36 |

| === Fudgey is now known as Fudge | ||
| wilee-nilee | rosemary_, Depends on what you mean some things can be moved like media, documents...etc, however ubuntu does not natively just run windows apps, if you had been using firefox you can set up a sync and have it all show in the firefox in ubuntu for bookmarks. | 04:43 |
| rosemary_ | I was using firefox | 04:44 |
| ignatenkobrain | Hi all | 04:45 |
| wilee-nilee | rosemary_,Most dualboot for awhile to get acclimatized, and use a additional ntfs partition to share things. If you have firefox in windows setup with its onboard sync then add it to ubuntu's FF, or just setup sync in windows now to transfer the bookmarks. | 04:45 |
| wilee-nilee | whatever bookmark you add to either FF will show in the other if synced. | 04:46 |

| shape | ...tried, bootrec /fixmbr /fixboot bootsect /nt60 /mbr, I even wrote the windows bootloader from scratch. Still nothing, I boot from the drive, I get black screen with a cursor that blinks. :( | 04:49 |
| wilee-nilee | Akiva-Mobile, Upgrades can have problems, so without details it is difficult to say. | 04:50 |
| Akiva-Mobile | wilee-nilee: Well it also happened to me in my fresh install | 04:50 |
| Akiva-Mobile | so I think this is a regression of sorts. | 04:50 |
| bwat47 | Akiva-Mobile, what intel card? I had no such issues with my hd4000 in 13.04 | 04:50 |
| ignatenkobrain | Akiva-Mobile, backlight regulate normally ? | 04:51 |
| wilee-nilee | shape, Did you clone the windows boot partition, and did you put windows in a extended partition? | 04:51 |
| Akiva-Mobile | bwat47: Intel® 945GM x86/MMX/SSE2 | 04:51 |
| Akiva-Mobile | ignatenkobrain: Yes, i believe so. I turn off the option to automatically darken screen | 04:51 |
| Akiva-Mobile | ignatenkobrain: Why, what is your issue? | 04:52 |
| shape | wilee-nilee: I made 2 primary partitions on the new drive, 1 for windows 1 for ubuntu. And then I cloned one by one. They are not extended. | 04:52 |
| ignatenkobrain | Akiva-Mobile, Regression in kernel on recent ThinkPads.. Kernel from launchpad BZ not working | 04:52 |
| wilee-nilee | shape, Have you run the bootrepair tool and generated a bootinfo summary? | 04:53 |
| Akiva-Mobile | ignatenkobrain: Thats a shame. I think thinkpads are the best hardware out there. | 04:53 |
| bwat47 | ignatenkobrain, add acpi_osi="!Windows 2012" to your /etc/default/grub | 04:53 |
| shape | wilee-nilee: yeah, it sees windows on dev/sda, but when i choose it, it does the same thing as with no grub at all. | 04:54 |
| bwat47 | ignatenkobrain, on the GRUB_CMDLINE_LINUX_DEFAULT= line | 04:54 |
| shape | wilee-nilee: so the whole problem is fixing the windows boot and then grub can easily take over | 04:54 |
| ignatenkobrain | bwat47, in my X230 not work=( | 04:54 |
| Akiva-Mobile | ignatenkobrain: What you could do if you were lazy, is just do a fresh install of ubuntu and let it autoconfig the grub for you. | 04:54 |
| wilee-nilee | shape, Post the bootinfo summary url | 04:54 |
| winjeg | if you had wiped the partion of windows , I think it is hopless , if not, you may run grub-installl /dev/yourdisk | 04:56 |
| bwat47 | ignatenkobrain, darn, unlucky then :( that one seems to fix it for most ppl with thinkpads | 04:56 |
| britt_ | Hello, does anyone know of any way to get xrandr 1.4 on raring other than building from source? Sorry if this has been asked before | 04:56 |

| shape | wilee-nilee: from boot-repair? | 04:56 |
| jdawgx | it works on cheese | 04:56 |
| bwat47 | britt_, xorg-edgers ppa maybe? | 04:56 |
| wilee-nilee | shape, yes run it again just the bootinfo summary. | 04:57 |
| bwat47 | britt_, beware, thats bleeding edge stuff | 04:57 |
| britt_ | bwat47: thank you, I don't mind the bleeding edge. I kind of need it to install the proper drivers for my hardware | 04:57 |
| shape | wilee-nilee: Yup will you be here? might take a while since i have to fire up the live cd, install it, etc. 10 min max | 04:58 |
| wilee-nilee | shape, Yes, I will be here ou can run it in the ubuntu install, if you can get in. | 04:58 |
| ignatenkobrain | bwat47, i tested kernel with patch from kernel bz..nothing changes. | 04:59 |
| wilee-nilee | shape, Sounds like you didn't clone the windows boot partition, no biggie that can be fixed if this is the case. | 04:59 |
| shape | wilee-nilee: that's what im trying to do yes, and I think Clonezilla didn't copy the MBR, it just copied dev/sda1 | 04:59 |
| jdawgx | can anyone help me with a webcam issue on xubuntu | 04:59 |
| wilee-nilee | jdawgx, Only if you outline the problem, if someone can they will answer. ;) | 05:00 |
| jdawgx | well it works with cheese but not online | 05:01 |
| wilee-nilee | shape, Clonezilla should copy the mbr, could be a bad clone could be any number of things, the summary will get us closer as far as seeing what us there now. | 05:01 |
| loganlee | jdawgx: get a better web browser | 05:01 |
| wilee-nilee | is* | 05:02 |
| jdawgx | what do you recomend? | 05:02 |

| loganlee | jdawgx: like chromium or firefox | 05:02 |
| lotuspsychje | jdawgx: did you install flash? | 05:02 |
| jdawgx | i use firefox | 05:02 |
| loganlee | yeh | 05:02 |
| ignatenkobrain | bwat47, you have thinkpad? | 05:02 |
| jdawgx | i believe i have the flash 11 installed | 05:02 |
| loganlee | jdawgx: u need flash plugin for ur browser | 05:03 |
| lotuspsychje | jdawgx: like loganlee says, sometimes it works beter with google-chrome | 05:03 |
| bwat47 | ignatenkobrain, nope I've got a system76, I've just seen a lot of thinkpad users with backlight issues and that workaround worked for most | 05:03 |
| shape | wilee-nilee: awesome, because I want to avoid reinstalling windows, and know how to fix this manually on my own, I might take hours now but next time i'll do it in seconds, which would save me hours in the long run from reinstalling windows over and over. :( btw ubuntu fired up, installing boot-repair, should be done soon | 05:03 |
| wilee-nilee | shape, cool | 05:03 |
| jdawgx | ok how do i do flash player for the browser, with the browser menu or through synaptic | 05:03 |

| jdawgx | ya thats the problem im facing as well not sure how to do the fix yet still reading | 05:22 |
| wilee-nilee | purvesh, I doubt you need a boot partition, is this a uefi setup? | 05:22 |
| purvesh | loganlee: so boot comes in the center or at first position also i am going to put /swap at the last as extended | 05:22 |
| lotuspsychje | kaushal: what happens if you try the 12.10 version? | 05:22 |
| purvesh | wilee-nilee: No I have Bios on my desktop and i can't move to GPT | 05:23 |
| wilee-nilee | purvesh, Then use the mbr not a boot partition. | 05:23 |
| wilee-nilee | if not a computer that had a secure boot uefi setup to begin with. | 05:24 |
| purvesh | wilee-nilee: i have got fresh new 2TB hard disk for my desktop and it was not showing ADD at the time of partition and i had clicked on New partition table so that will automatically create MBR partition table or something else? | 05:25 |
| wilee-nilee | purvesh, New HD's often need a partition table. The mbr is the 512MB part of thew disc not showing as a partition but as sdX X=the drive like a, b...etc. | 05:26 |
| purvesh | wilee-nilee, And /boot i had created for If in future i will install multiple Linux distros then my ubuntu will not affect so... | 05:26 |
| purvesh | wilee-nilee: Yeah its SDA | 05:27 |
| wilee-nilee | purvesh, If you want more than 4 partitions altogether put them all in a extended. | 05:27 |
| wilee-nilee | for linux that is | 05:27 |
| penos | can u install ubuntu running on image to install another distro on image? | 05:27 |
| wilee-nilee | no | 05:27 |
| purvesh | wilee-nilee: If my home size is 1500GB and if it is primary then it would run faster then extended ? | 05:28 |
| wilee-nilee | purvesh, No | 05:28 |
| purvesh | wilee-nilee: ? | 05:28 |
| wilee-nilee | purvesh, the extended is a container fore logical partitions the logical s where the ubuntu goes. | 05:28 |

As of now the sda HD where windows is does not have the MS bootloader in it, that alone may boot windows. The files needed for windows to boot are in its partition. Is the sda partition first in the bios to be read. | 05:44 |

| wilee-nilee | shape, Sounds like a bad clone then if windows was fine before. I have used clonezilla 100's of times with no problems. | 05:49 |
| wilee-nilee | shape, Did you resize windows from outside its partitioner? | 05:50 |
| shape | wilee-nilee: yes | 05:50 |
| shape | wilee-nilee: it went from 32GB (source) to 60GB clone | 05:50 |
| shape | wilee-nilee: so different partition table for the bootloader | 05:50 |
| wilee-nilee | shape, Ah, the front of the partition perhaps? | 05:50 |
| shape | wilee-nilee: no idea, yeah the front | 05:51 |
| wilee-nilee | shape, I would re-clone it and expand it with the W7 partitioner. Moving the front of a windows partition with like gparted will brick it. | 05:52 |
| Svi | how can i upgrade 11.04 to 12.04 | 05:52 |
| wilee-nilee | as far as I know anyway. | 05:52 |
| wilee-nilee | !eol | Svi | 05:52 |
| ubottu | Svi: End-Of-Life is the time when security updates and support for an Ubuntu release stop, see https://wiki.ubuntu.com/Releases for more information. Looking to upgrade from an EOL release? See https://help.ubuntu.com/community/EOLUpgrades | 05:52 |
| savio | Svi: you need to first to 10.010 then go for 12.04 | 05:53 |
| shape | wilee-nilee: Oh, I see what you mean, you mean to clone it disk by disk not unto different partitions like I did, and THEN expand those partitions, correct? | 05:53 |
| Svi | 10.10 or 11.10 | 05:54 |
| === codepal_ is now known as codepal | ||

| tabsterleir | Hi there all, I was wondering if someone could take a look at this for me? http://www2.dma.net.au/index.php?action=displayProduct&pid=8825 I wish to run Ubuntu on it, does it look viable? I've tried doing a bit of Googling but info is a little scarse. Anyone had experience with one of these and Linux? | 05:55 |
| Aaruni | Mac_Write: the last time I tried to install parallels tools, I just clicked on it, and it auto-mounted | 05:55 |
| savio | Aaruni: yup i'm on my android new to this touchscreen interface :) | 05:55 |
| wilee-nilee | shape, You can clone separately and insert windows to a bigger partition, or the whole disc and resize ubuntu with gparted from its front froma live cd, leaving a unallocated for the windows partitioner to exspand the end into. | 05:55 |
| Mac_Write | but when I click on the install it opens in a text editor | 05:55 |
| Aaruni | Mac_Write: I think you need to navigate to it using command line, and install it using ./<installer_file_name> | 05:56 |
| wilee-nilee | shape, Mainly moving the front of the windows partition is the problem. | 05:56 |
| Aaruni | Svi: so, that's 11.10 | 05:56 |
| lotuspsychje | tabsterleir: is it touchscreen? | 05:56 |
| shape | wilee-nilee: yeah that will be my last resort, at the moment I am looking if I can move my sda partition from sector 2048 to sector 63. U think that is possible? | 05:56 |
| savio | tabsterleir: I guess there will be no problem | 05:57 |
| tabsterleir | Indeed it is lotus | 05:57 |
| Mac_Write | Aaruni I know, but I don't know where to find it via command line | 05:57 |
| wilee-nilee | Svi, The eol link tells you how to upgrade, I would not bother honestly a fresh install is a better idea. | 05:57 |
| tabsterleir | savio: As far as I know it has intel Wifi so I should be golden there right? | 05:57 |
| * tabsterleir has a bad run with Linux and Wifi | 05:57 | |
| lotuspsychje | tabsterleir: ubuntu desktop wont be able to support touch i think (correct me if im wrong) | 05:57 |
| savio | tabsterleir: don't worry you will be fine | 05:58 |
| Svi | would it be better to install fresh 12.04 rather than upgrade | 05:58 |
| Aaruni | Mac_Write: it is usually /media/<something> , but you can also try dragging the install icon into the command line, and it will paste the whole path to the installer there. then just prepend ./ , and it should work | 05:58 |
| tabsterleir | Excellent! I shall place my order now! :) Thankyou all | 05:58 |
| lotuspsychje | tabsterleir: you will need ubuntu touch for tablet features #ubuntu-touch | 05:58 |
| Aaruni | Svi: AFAIK, the upgrade just retains your /home, and upgrades everything else. You can try making a manual backup of your /home folder, and do a clean install, then resotre | 05:59 |
| Aaruni | *restore | 05:59 |
| Svi | i assume many apps will crash when upgraded to 12.04 | 05:59 |
| wilee-nilee | shape, I would not bother if it were me, YOu can just clone the original W7 and put it into that partition already there and call it a day. rebuild the ntfs first. | 05:59 |
| Svi | thanks Aaruni , i will go for a fresh install | 05:59 |
| savio | Svi: before upgrading disable PPA on your system | 06:00 |
| Aaruni | Svi: no prob. | 06:00 |
| wilee-nilee | the mbr move should boot the ubuntu and windows then. | 06:00 |
| shape | wilee-nilee: haha of course, but I think I'd learn a lot more if I can actually do that without going the easy way | 06:00 |
| Aaruni | savio: he's going for a fresh install. | 06:00 |
| wilee-nilee | shape, Modern HD's leave that open space. | 06:01 |
| wilee-nilee | it is the way the nodes are counted | 06:01 |
| lotuspsychje | wilee-nilee: what brand of ssd you run ubuntu on? | 06:01 |
| wilee-nilee | hold on | 06:02 |
| shape | wilee-nilee: so then I could try changing the info in the boot sector to tell it it starts at 2048 instead of 63 no? | 06:02 |

| jdawgx | you have to install ufw i belive | 06:27 |
| jdawgx | believe* | 06:28 |
| Dr_willis | Mac_Write, most people in here seem to use Unity. xfce is also very popular. as is gnomeshell | 06:28 |
| Dr_willis | !firewall | 06:28 |
| ubottu | Ubuntu, like any other Linux distribution, has firewall capabilities built-in.

| jdawgx | i found a workaround | 06:58 |
| jdawgx | i guess ill try it | 06:58 |
| UbuBegin | I have created a runnable program... it is inside this folder.. /home/john/test and I call it as ./prog... How can I config so I can just run it as prog from any directory.. like those system programs | 06:58 |
| Dr_willis | UbuBegin, make a bin directory in your home. and eitehr copy it there. or make a link from ~/bin/whatever pointing to the executable | 06:59 |
| Dr_willis | when you login. if you have a 'bin' directory - its added to your default PATH | 06:59 |
| UbuBegin | Dr_willis, How can i just a program to the PATH... where is this PATH ? | 07:00 |
| Dr_willis | Bash bascs.. its defined in yoru bash init scripts.. and I suggest just using the 'bin' directory. thats whats its designed for | 07:01 |
| Dr_willis | or you can make an alias in your .bashrc or .profile | 07:02 |
| jdawgx | i cant find anything that makes sense of how to fix the video cam | 07:04 |
| UbuBegin | Dr_willis, ./bashrc looks like fine idea.. Thanks | 07:04 |
| Dr_willis | err.. its .bashrc not ./bashrc | 07:04 |
| Dr_willis | theres a logic to the use of . :) | 07:04 |
| jdawgx | thanks for the help anyway though everyone goodnight | 07:05 |

| varunendra | cassien, have you compiled the driver downloaded from realtek? | 09:03 |
| llutz | tgcid: but most likely its not (only most recent versions are) | 09:03 |
| tgcid | The packages I needed were | 09:03 |
| cassien | varunendra: yes but it returns that rt5390sta.ko doesn't exist | 09:04 |
| cassien | (i'm new on ubuntu by the way) | 09:04 |
| varunendra | cassien, your card seems to have been switched off by a hardware switch. And the driver is okay, don't worry about the name. | 09:05 |
| tgcid | What about if a packages depends on 3 other packages that are a different version than apt-get installs by default? Can you have apt-get install dependencies at the required version? | 09:05 |
| tgcid | Other than installing them one by one with foo=1.2.3 | 09:05 |
| varunendra | cassien, try toggling it on using the hardware switch on your computer. Do you know where it is? | 09:06 |
| Captain_Crow1 | could ubuntu handle graphically intensive games like bf4 & crysis3 if they were made nativly or is the something holding ubuntu back like driver support? | 09:07 |

| asdasd | ciao | 09:08 |
| varunendra | cassien, usually the key works in conjunction with 'Fn' key. Try that. Also, is your laptop UEFI based? If not, you may safely try resetting the BIOS to defaults. | 09:09 |
| cassien | ever tryied....without results | 09:10 |
| ezra-s | Captain_Crow1, it could handle the same as windows, it's just that many studios and publishers don't see a market in Linux so they don't bother in Linux native binaries, but that is changing... | 09:10 |
| varunendra | Even resetting BIOS? cassien | 09:10 |

| === nino is now known as ninoz | ||
| abdel | how do u mean rm | 10:29 |
| ninoz | ive replaced the easy-rsa folder a few times and no joy | 10:29 |
| ezra-s | abdel, it's the command to delete in terminal | 10:29 |
| abdel | i did not delete anything in terminal ezra | 10:29 |
| abdel | i just went to my home folder and deleted some files | 10:29 |
| ezra-s | abdel, right click in the Downloads directory and check you have enough permissions | 10:30 |
| ezra-s | check the permissions tab | 10:30 |
| abdel | i can't even find the download directory | 10:30 |
| ezra-s | abdel, then you deleted it, create a new one | 10:31 |
| ezra-s | abdel, check the trash before trying to create a new Download directory though | 10:31 |
| abdel | av deleted everything from my trash | 10:31 |
| ezra-s | abdel, then your only choice is create the Downloads folder | 10:32 |
| abdel | so u mean to create a new directory i should go to the terminal and do cd ~/downloads | 10:32 |
| ezra-s | it's not a big deal anyways | 10:32 |
| abdel | is that correct ezra | 10:32 |
| A1Recon | While researching for Ubuntu HDMI Audio I found this "It is also notable that the open source driver for ATI/AMD (called radeon), has experimental support for HDMI/DisplayPort audio, at least for some cards. It is disabled by default, but you can activate it by adding radeon.audio=1 as a kernel boot parameter." I have an ATI Radeon 4350 so can someone explain how to do this? or do i download proprietary drivers | 10:32 |
| abdel | how do i create the directory ezra cos am just new to this | 10:32 |
| ezra-s | abdel, you don't have to go into terminal if you don't want, and no, cd is to go into a directory "mkdir" is the command to create directories | 10:32 |
| abdel | kindly post the steps to create a new directory pls | 10:33 |
| terry2776 | and downloads is usually spelled Downloads , with a capital D | 10:33 |
| ezra-s | abdel, open the same home directory with the same utility you used to delete the files, hit the ALT button in the keyboard and there type the word "new" you will have a few choices, one is to create a folder | 10:34 |
| ezra-s | right clicking inside the home directory should also show an option to create a new directory | 10:34 |

| abdel | how do u mean tools.....like av said all i did was to delete files in my home folder | 10:36 |
| abdel | i did not use any tools | 10:37 |
| ezra-s | abdel, another option, open terminal and do mkdir ~/Downloads | 10:37 |
| ezra-s | abdel, you used something to delete files, deleting files through telepathy hasn't been invented yet | 10:37 |
| abdel | av gone to terminal and did mkdir ~/Downloads | 10:38 |
| abdel | but nothing happened | 10:38 |
| ezra-s | abdel, there is no ouput for that command, it means it worked | 10:38 |
| ezra-s | abdel, you now have a Downloads directory again, enjoy it | 10:38 |
| abdel | so do i need to log out and back in | 10:38 |

| BluesKaj | skribblezatcha, I hang out here a lot , along with many other regulars | 11:22 |
| subz3r0 | DemoOn: use nautilus | 11:22 |
| ezra-s | LeMike, do : "apt-cache search php5" you will see there are tones of precompiled packages, which is much better and reliable than compiling source | 11:22 |

| skchrko | maybe I should tune ext4 mount parameters somehow? | 11:38 |

| Inoki | BluesKaj: I was on Junodownload, purchased a song, but they only have a Java downloader and it said both in Firefox and Chromium, that Java isn't installed. | 11:39 |

| ezra-s | jpds, xz is making tar.gz obsolete? | 12:58 |
| jpds | ezra-s: No. | 12:58 |
| auronandace | mhr: if you are using 10.04 please consider upgrading, desktop support ends on the 9th | 12:58 |

| jpds | ezra-s: It pays to be popular? | 12:58 |
| mhr | gordonjcp, do you mean I will have to install xz support | 12:59 |
| auronandace | ezra-s: better compression | 12:59 |
| ezra-s | jpds, I don't know, I recently noticed it in many places | 12:59 |
| gordonjcp | mhr: yes | 12:59 |
| ezra-s | mhr, it is installed by default in ubuntu afaik | 12:59 |
| jpds | ezra-s: Just because banana ice-cream exists and lots of people buy it, doesn't mean that strawberry ice-cream is going to disappear any time soon. | 12:59 |
| mhr | ezra-s, if its so why am i getting error while trying to extract it | 13:00 |
| ezra-s | jpds, hehehe, I figured as much, just that it surprised me seeing kernel.org using it now | 13:00 |
| ezra-s | mhr, try with xz command instead of tar first | 13:00 |
| mhr | the right click --> extract is also does not work | 13:00 |
| adamk_ | mhr, Have you confirmed that xz is actually installed? | 13:01 |
| ezra-s | adamk_++ | 13:01 |
| adamk_ | Instead of debating whether or not it was installed on your system by default, you could have checked to see if it's installed, installed it by now, and extracted the file. | 13:01 |
| mhr | the xz command is not installed it says, I hoped as its extension is tar.xz the tar command must have that support | 13:02 |
| BACbKA | I'm running ubuntu 13.04. Have an Ubuntu and a Ratpoison session listed in lightdm. The ratpoison one doesn't seem to pick up the keyboard settings from xkboptions. The Unity one does. They do work in the virtual consoles. Did my RTFM of keyboard-configuration/README.Debian, didn't help, neither does reboot. | 13:02 |
| ezra-s | mhr, must have? tar probably uses xz if installed and if not... then it wont | 13:03 |
| adamk_ | mhr, The tar command supports tar files. That's it. For compression, it uses external programs. | 13:03 |

| ezra-s | mhr, glad you fixed it ;) | 13:06 |
| compdoc | AtuM, I have seen ppl say theyve done it | 13:07 |
| AtuM | compdoc, do you know it they used vfio-pci? | 13:07 |
| BACbKA | is /etc/default/keyboard the right place in ubuntu13.04 to do system-wide keyboard layout configuration, or does lightdm have some local overrides of the settings there? | 13:08 |
| AtuM | there's almost no documentation on using vfio with kvm.. virsh sure doesn't know anything about it | 13:08 |
| BACbKA | aha, Xorg.0.log has a funny clue: first it shows my XKB options from the default/keyboard, then it says: XKB: reuse xkmfile /var/lib/xkb/server-<lots of hex digits>.xkm | 13:11 |
| BACbKA | wtf is that .xkm file and who generates it? | 13:12 |
| uvala | just discovered this great page with tutorials : http://www.ur1.ca/dppx1 | 13:12 |
| ezra-s | BACbKA, apt-file can help you determine that | 13:13 |
| ezra-s | BACbKA, or packages.ubuntu.com | 13:13 |
| BACbKA | ezra-s: actually /var/lib/xkb/README.compile gave a clue... it's a file with compiled XKB maps. I've just stopped my lightdm and about to nuke the xkm files there | 13:14 |
| ezra-s | BACbKA, but probably some precompiled package uses them, I'd better try to find which and why | 13:15 |
| uvala | thanks to Aurora, who's given me the video link yesterday | 13:16 |
| ezra-s | BACbKA, just in case you do an upgrade and they show up again, or later on you get problems when trying to do X with certain package because those files are missing | 13:16 |
| BACbKA | ezra-s: nope, they're generated by xorg on startup or whenever setxkbmap installs one | 13:16 |
| ezra-s | oki | 13:16 |
| BACbKA | OK, nuking the cached XKM files in /var/lib/xkb and starting the X server again didn't help --- even though Xorg.0.log now says "generating" rather than "reusing" the file, it still shows only the optioons I had requested in /etc/default/keyboard as being set for layout selection --- so wtf don't they work under a barebones X session (ratpoison+terminal)?! | 13:19 |
| BACbKA | "it still shows" -> "the log still shows" | 13:19 |
| * ezra-s lols | 13:20 | |
| BACbKA | omg, I have a nagging suspicion | 13:20 |
| ezra-s | BACbKA, maybe there is an xorg.conf option you can tweak | 13:20 |
| Halite | How can I colour-calibrate my monitor in Ubuntu? | 13:21 |
| lucido | I'm getting this silly meassage from totem: Videos requires to install plugins to play media files of the following type: H.263 decoder | 13:21 |
| adamk_ | y | 13:21 |
| BACbKA | ezra-s on 13.04 unlike 12.04 I don't even see an xorg.conf, just an xorg.conf.failsafe | 13:21 |
| lucido | and its only an mp3 radio stream | 13:21 |
| ezra-s | BACbKA, yes, xorg.conf is not necessary ot get X working but.. you can create it and add specific configuration... | 13:22 |
| BACbKA | ezra-s: but it is the very same XKB option I already witness as loaded from the Xorg.0.log | 13:22 |
| ezra-s | BACbKA, it's not my fault :P | 13:23 |
| BACbKA | ezra-s: could it be there is a client-side keyboard setting configuration cached somewhere in gconf? | 13:23 |
| ezra-s | BACbKA, no clue, really :( | 13:23 |
| BACbKA | ezra-s: :-) | 13:23 |
| BACbKA | what really pisses me off is that when I run a full ubuntu session there is something that does load the proper switching of layouts just as I had set up in the "System settings" :( | 13:24 |
| ezra-s | BACbKA, I bet that's when gconf kicks in | 13:25 |
| Halite | How can I colour-calibrate my monitor in Ubuntu? | 13:26 |
| BACbKA | ezra-s yes, makes sense... but doesn't the gnome terminal pull that one in as well? | 13:26 |
| Halite | ... | 13:26 |
| BACbKA | ezra-s: yes, I do see both gnome-terminal and gconfd running | 13:27 |
| ezra-s | BACbKA, although it is inteded for arch linux I always find arch documentation very useful for all kinds of cases, this will surely apply in ubuntu as well for manual config mostly: https://wiki.archlinux.org/index.php/Configuring_keyboard_layouts_in_X | 13:27 |

| ubuntuaddicted | does anyone know how to modify the XBMC startup script so it runs in windowed mode? | 14:39 |
| compdoc | Eremes, you may need to include boot options before installing. These are some of them, but not all: https://wiki.ubuntu.com/Kernel/KernelBootParameters | 14:39 |
| Eremes | I got into Busybox v1.13.3 | 14:39 |
| compdoc | not sure what Busybox is | 14:39 |
| Eremes | initramfs mount: mounting /dev/loop0 on //filesystem.sqashfs failed: Input/output error | 14:39 |
| Eremes | i got that kind of messages | 14:39 |
| Eremes | can not mount /dev/loop0 | 14:40 |
| Eremes | i thought ubuntu is user friendly ?? | 14:40 |
| adamk_ | Sounds like your computer had a hard time reading from the CD. | 14:40 |
| adamk_ | Just because you had a problem, does not mean it's not user friendly. | 14:40 |
| brainysmurf | Is this current? https://help.ubuntu.com/community/OpenLDAPServer | 14:40 |
| brainysmurf | It mentions a slapd.conf file that ubuntu doesn't use anymore | 14:40 |
| gordonjcp | Eremes: what's not "user friendly" about a clear and descriptive error message? | 14:40 |
| Jordan_U | Eremes: Sounds like you have a bad DVD. | 14:41 |
| Eremes | gordonjcp: well ive tried to install it for hours | 14:41 |
| Eremes | first I download the 12.04 version. burned it. and run it | 14:41 |
| Eremes | and it failed to install | 14:41 |
| Eremes | some POE something | 14:41 |
| Eremes | then I tried the 10.04 | 14:41 |
| Eremes | still can't | 14:41 |
| FloodBot1 | Eremes: Please don't flood; use http://paste.ubuntu.com to paste; don't use Enter as punctuation. | 14:41 |
| gordonjcp | Eremes: what a pity, shame there's no way of knowing what went wrong | 14:42 |
| adamk_ | And did you ever check the md5sum's of the downloaded images? | 14:42 |
| gordonjcp | Eremes: oh wait, there are usually some messages | 14:42 |
| Eremes | adamk_ : i tested the live CD on my personal PC and it worked fine | 14:42 |
| adamk_ | That didn't answer the question. | 14:43 |
| bono | Eremes: http://www.freedos.org/ | 14:43 |
| Eremes | adamk_ : no, i did not test the md5sum | 14:43 |
| Eremes | adamk_ : but im pretty sure its normal | 14:43 |
| Eremes | This kernel requires the following features not present on the CPU: pae | 14:44 |
| Eremes | unable to boot - please use a kernel appropriate for your cpu | 14:44 |
| adamk_ | Well that seems pretty clear... | 14:44 |
| Eremes | thats what i got when i tried to install v12.04 | 14:44 |
| Eremes | v10.04 = initramfs mount: mounting /dev/loop0 on //filesystem.sqashfs failed: Input/output error | 14:45 |
| Eremes | now im downloading v9.04 | 14:45 |
| apm1 | do the LTS releases get the latest firefox as well ? | 14:45 |
| bono | won't work neither | 14:45 |
| Jordan_U | Eremes: IO errors mean that there are problems reading the data from the disk. There are three possibilities, 1: The downloaded .iso file was corrupted somehow (you can check this by checking the md5sum) 2: The disk didn't burn properly (you should use a burner that checks the md5sum of a disk after burning automatically). 3: You have a bad DVD drive (this can be checked by using the boot menu's integrity check option). | 14:45 |
| millerti | Hi. I'm having a problem where plugging a USB drive into my Ubuntu box isnt being recognized. It recognized it the other day, until I removed the partition table. But it's not showing up at all now. If I connect the drive to my Mac, it appears just fine. Help? | 14:45 |

| Eremes | Jordan_U: ok thanks, ill try | 14:48 |
| niklas | Hey, is it possible to install the core apps on unity-next installed on 13.04?? | 14:48 |
| Jordan_U | Eremes: You're welcome. The boot test is nice because if it passes, then you know that the image you burned from, the DVD you burned to, and the drive you're reading the DVD from are all good. | 14:49 |
| millerti | Very odd. I think that suspend messed up this Ubuntu box's ability to see new USB devices. Rebooting solved the problem. | 14:51 |

| pijush | hello | 14:54 |
| eziob | how can i prevent address spoofing on my network | 14:55 |
| pijush | eziob elaborate the problem | 14:56 |
| Jordan_U | eziob: Ideally you should use authentication that uses encryption and doesn't depend on ip addresses. | 14:57 |
| eziob | i have a server running on 123(example), and i assign dhcp hosts 10-20 | 14:57 |
| eziob | Jordan_U, oh i will be | 14:57 |
| eziob | but if i assigned myself 123 | 14:57 |
| eziob | as an attacker | 14:57 |
| eziob | basically i want hosts in the range of 10-20 to only get an internet gateway | 14:58 |
| LinuxNewbish | good day , i have a question is it possible to upgrade from 12.10 to 13.04 ? | 14:58 |
| Jordan_U | eziob: Then people would try to access your web server via https and would get a big fat warning (though it'd still be a denial of service). | 14:58 |

| Jordan_U | eziob: Unless your routers or switches are running ubuntu, I think #networking is a better place for this discussion. | 15:01 |
| pijush | eziob noway to do so, i'm a CCNA | 15:01 |
| eziob | one of my lappy's however is wireless but i give it an ip based on its mac that can access the network | 15:01 |

| diverdude | xatr0z_, i also cannot do a apt-get update | 15:20 |
| xatr0z_ | diverdude: according to your logfile it is with multiple hosts which are all working fine here. So if another mirror doesnt fixes the problem: try troubleshooting your networkconnection | 15:20 |
| xatr0z_ | diverdude: which DNS server are you using (cat /etc/resolv.conf) and is it working? | 15:20 |
| xatr0z_ | maybe try another nameserver temporily, 8.8.8.8 should always work | 15:20 |

| gordonjcp | BluesKaj: not really | 15:40 |
| compdoc | hdon, have you tried: sudo apt-get autoremove ? | 15:40 |
| gordonjcp | BluesKaj: the problem is that after installing, networking is broken because it hasn't got resolv.conf set up correctly and all the network interfaces are set to manual | 15:40 |
| hdon | compdoc, i just realized i could use apt. but no i haven't tried autoremove, i will :) | 15:40 |

| Quick_Wango | Hi! I seem to have a problem with compiz that causes the mouse focus to be locked to a window until I open a context menu. This does only happen when ubuntu is installed, not in the live version. Killing compiz allows the mouse to interact with any window again. | 15:54 |

| gordonjcp | BluesKaj: no, I don't need to do that | 15:55 |

| gordonjcp | BluesKaj: because I'm not doing that for every machine that gets installed | 15:56 |
| gordonjcp | BluesKaj: what I need is to find out what is causing the installer to bork the network config when I use PXE | 15:56 |
| reggie | wilee-nilee, the issue is that windows 8 won't boot at all | 15:56 |
| wilee-nilee | reggie, Have you installed ubuntu? | 15:57 |
| reggie | no running it in live CD mode | 15:57 |
| reggie | it's a company laptop installing Ubuntu is against policy | 15:57 |
| wilee-nilee | reggie, I would check with the ##windows channel to see what they say, you have to be registered to use that channel. | 15:58 |
| reggie | humm ok thanks wilee-nilee was trying to avoid doing that since I'm an avid Ubuntu user | 15:59 |
| wilee-nilee | reggie, understandable, windows 8 has good documentation on that different shutdown and restore setups to get things fixed I would take a look there. | 16:06 |

| gnat_x | hi folks. i'm helping a coworker with his 12.04 install. the goal is to switch his home dir to a luks partition. so we've set everything up, rsync'd current home to new home. and now we want to use libpam_mount to mount that instead of oldhome. what i can't find are good docs on making that happen. | 16:07 |
| gnat_x | it doesn't seem to auto mount the drive. | 16:07 |
| Jordan_U | gnat_x: Why not use an ecryptfs encrypted home directory? | 16:08 |
| gordonjcp | gnat_x: make sure you back up regularly, too | 16:08 |
| reggie | wilee-nilee, thanks I will give it a look | 16:09 |
| gnat_x | gordonjcp: indeed. that part is done. | 16:09 |
| gordonjcp | gnat_x: if *anything* happens to the encrypted partition, everything is gone | 16:09 |
| gnat_x | gordonjcp: oh i know. i'm just confused because my general strategy involves full disk encryption. | 16:11 |
| gnat_x | so the mixed and matched stuff is a bit weird to me. | 16:11 |
| gordonjcp | gnat_x: and I hope you back that up to something unencrypted too | 16:11 |
| gnat_x | gordonjcp: nope. i back it up to a different encrypted disk. which has worked well for data recovery in the past. | 16:14 |
| gordonjcp | brave | 16:14 |
| gnat_x | indeed. | 16:14 |
| gnat_x | i've been happy with it thus far. | 16:14 |
| * gordonjcp wouldn't touch disk encryption with a stolen 10-foot pole | 16:14 | |
| gnat_x | i've been happy with it thus far. and have been doing it for five years or more. | 16:15 |

| Nubby | 1st of all which is rather annoying unity has stoped workign on my main user account | 16:32 |
| Nubby | btu works okay in guest account | 16:33 |
| Nubby | well ish | 16:33 |
| Bower^ | where's the ideal place to install software that will be accessible to all users? e.g. sublime text | 16:33 |
| Nubby | and kernel 3.8.0-19 seem to be stuck in vesa video mode | 16:34 |
| Nubby | nvidia optimus based system with bumble be and nvidia 319 | 16:34 |
| Nubby | and my unity on kernel 3.5 is kinda doublign up slightly | 16:34 |
| Nubby | ill post a screen shot | 16:34 |
| roasted | I'm actually considering on reinstalling 13.04 because of this ridiculous issue. Has anybody else had problems with setting a different default video player? | 16:35 |
| Dr_Willis | Nubby: works on new acccount. but not on problem account - points to some config file in the problem users home either messed up, owned by root. or has some quirky setting. | 16:36 |
| Nubby | roasted, i havent tryed resettign default btu i no the onyl video player that isnt laggign on 13.04 for me is vlc | 16:36 |
| Dr_Willis | Bower^: for things not from the repos. put them in /opt/ is common | 16:36 |
| roasted | Nubby: VLC, ironically, is not working for me right now as there's an issue with using VLC to play videos over SMB, whcih is a deal breaker for me. | 16:36 |
| Dr_Willis | Bower^: or /usr/local | 16:36 |
| Nubby | Dr_Willis, any idea on my video option on latest kernel | 16:36 |
| Dr_Willis | I dont have any experience with Optimus systems | 16:37 |
| Bower^ | Dr_Willis: thank you | 16:37 |
| Nubby | i dont think optimus is the problem | 16:37 |
| Nubby | i complete stripped all nvidia at one pooiint to test and thats when my unity problem cropped up | 16:37 |
| Dr_Willis | my nvidia cards are like 2 yrs old. ; they give me no issues at all. | 16:37 |
| Dr_Willis | Unity needs proper 3d drivers.. or else compiz/unity can get confused and only partially load. | 16:38 |

| Darael | I've had an issue - for a while, now - that appears to be triggered by the Programmer Dvorak keyboard layout. I'm pretty sure it's some kind of bug, and it's been present in at least the last four releases. Does anyone know what the best package to file a bug with is? (yes, I'm anyone-ing. Sorry) | 16:41 |
| Nubby | Dr_Willis, onyl thiung owned by root that i can see that i havent made owned by root is .gvfs but i dotn thinlk that has anythign to do with unity | 16:42 |

| Bower^ | Dr_Willis: sublime works fine from my home directory but i get an erroring relating to the display when i try open it from /usr/local or /opt. any common gotchas for this? | 16:43 |
| Dr_Willis | Bower^: no idea. I dont use sublime. could be you need to cd to its directory then run it from there, | 16:44 |
| Dr_Willis | Sublime seens to be a very very quirky program from what ive seen asked about it in here. | 16:44 |
| Nubby | Dr_Willis, everythiung looks nromal config wise | 16:45 |
| Nubby | although i do have a couple of xsession erro files | 16:45 |
| Dr_Willis | Nubby: as a test. try just renameing your .config to .config_old and log back in perhaps? could be the issue is with some config file not in .config like in .gconf* or .compiz* | 16:45 |
| Dr_Willis | During beta testing i was always totally clearing out my home dir/settings ;) took me like 3 min to get stuff back to my normal setup | 16:46 |

| Kartagis | I have two 8gb USB flash drives, and I tried to clone one. I used dd if=/dev/sdc1 of=/dev/sdb1 conv=nofunc but the resulting thing is unbootable. any ideas? | 16:47 |
| Dr_Willis | Kartagis: you should have used /dev/sdc and /dev/sdb | 16:47 |
| Dr_Willis | if you wanted to copy the boot sector info | 16:47 |
| Nubby | brb | 16:48 |
| Kartagis | Dr_Willis: first USB drive has 2 partitions and I wanted to clone 1 of them | 16:48 |
| Dr_Willis | Kartagis: then you need to setup the boot loader by hand then i imagine. | 16:48 |
| Kartagis | Dr_Willis: I'll get rid of the partition number in of | 16:48 |

| Dr_Willis | Kartagis: that wont copy over the bootrecord from sdc1 to sdb.. and that Might really confuse things | 16:50 |

If I choose Totem, close out, open system settings - details - default applications and set Totem or VLC, it doesn't HOLD that setting. Once I close out and reopen, SMPlayer is the default still. | 16:59 |

| roasted | lotuspsychje: I did. It won't stick. | 17:15 |
| roasted | lotuspsychje: once I do that and try it again, it defaults back to totem each and every single time. | 17:15 |
| roasted | lotuspsychje: I also set up a fresh 13.04 VM to test and it does the same exact thing, 100%. | 17:15 |
| lotuspsychje | roasted: did you click totem/forget application? | 17:15 |
| apm1 | is ubuntu server actually just the ubuntu-base system comparable to what debian calls a base system | 17:16 |
| roasted | forget application... no I never saw that. | 17:16 |
| apm1 | i am used to of debian terminology | 17:16 |
| lotuspsychje | click on totem in properties list | 17:16 |
| apm1 | so actually i am looking for an image that has the base system | 17:16 |
| roasted | lotuspsychje: OH! You mean reset? | 17:16 |
| lotuspsychje | ? | 17:17 |
| roasted | lotuspsychje: if I right click on a video file and go to properties - open with - I see a reset button along with a set default button. | 17:17 |
| turtleGlass | how can i watch videos in the cli? | 17:17 |
| Dr_Willis | turtleGlass: mplayer has a console mode, and a ascii-out option | 17:18 |
| roasted | lotuspsychje: that seems to have helped for that particular file type, so that's a good thing (I hit reset first, then set default, and it worked fine). But if I go into system settings it still won't change. Weird. | 17:18 |
| lotuspsychje | roasted: no just right mouse totem in that list/forget app | 17:18 |
| Darael | turtleGlass: mplayer, or vlc-nox. | 17:18 |
| roasted | lotuspsychje: in what list. I don't see forget app anywhere. | 17:18 |
| turtleGlass | ascii-out? | 17:18 |
| Darael | turtleGlass: It can render each frame as ascii art. Yes, really. | 17:19 |
| turtleGlass | you dont say? | 17:19 |
| lotuspsychje | roasted: you see totem as default player in properties of an mp3? | 17:19 |
| apm1 | why isn't there a 32bit version of ubuntu server listed on the download page ? | 17:19 |
| turtleGlass | and you get subtitles on top of that? | 17:19 |
| Dr_Willis | turtleGlass: subtitles? no. | 17:19 |
| roasted | lotuspsychje: no, I'm working with an mp4, video file. Where do I go to see the "forget application" button you spoke of? | 17:19 |

| Dr_Willis | !uuid | 17:27 |
| ubottu | To see a list of your devices/partitions and their corresponding UUID's, run this command in a !shell: « sudo blkid » (see https://wiki.ubuntu.com/LibAtaForAtaDisks for the rationale behind the transition to UUID) | 17:27 |

| trism | roasted: think I worked it out, the smplayer.desktop file contains three video mimetypes not in the totem.desktop file (video/avi, video/x-ogm, video/x-theora), so when changing the defaults in g-c-c, three in ~/.local/share/applications/mimeapps.list stay smplayer | 17:38 |
| bekks | turtleGlass: Because turning it off an on again will never help in configuring your X server with a modeline. | 17:38 |
| === DarkAceZ is now known as tnodah | ||
| trism | roasted: for some silly reason, g-c-c chooses smplayer as the default because of this, definitely a bug | 17:38 |
| trism | roasted: if I remove those three associations from the smplayer.desktop file, it works correctly again | 17:39 |
| turtleGlass | what will? | 17:39 |
| roasted | trism: when I apt-get remove --purge smplayer, I duplicate the same findings with totem vs VLC... | 17:39 |

| bekks | turtleGlass: Configure your X server to use a modeline. | 17:39 |
| turtleGlass | sweet | 17:39 |
| roasted | trism: like Totem and VLC will begin to act similarly. Totem is default, I set VLC as default, exit, go back, Totem is still default. | 17:39 |
| betrayd | turtleGlass: and tell it to ignore edid info, or override them | 17:39 |
| trism | roasted: it is likely the same issue there, different mimetypes between them in the .desktops | 17:39 |
| roasted | trism: wonder what I should file the bug against. Thoughts? | 17:39 |
| blakes | lotuspsychje: it is working. But is it the best tool? Are there other, better ways to go about this? Is it my dhcp server that's giving out those duplicate ip addresses, if so, how do I tell? | 17:40 |
| trism | roasted: would file it against gnome-control-center to start with | 17:40 |
| turtleGlass | im taling it right noe but i dont thing its listning or maybe the mic is off | 17:40 |
| roasted | trism: GCC is what's used in 13.04? | 17:40 |
| trism | roasted: it might need a better way to figure out the default | 17:40 |
| betrayd | turtleGlass: you have the pirated version then | 17:40 |

| jiffe98 | anyone see anything wrong with this upstart script? http://nsab.us/public/ubuntu Runs fine from command line but trying to start the service and it exits with a status of 2 | 17:41 |

| turtleGlass | ubuntu black edition? | 17:41 |
| roasted | trism: so far, going through the properties menu to select "set default" works on the individual file types. I DID have to select reset on one of them, though, as they were refusing to switch to VLC until I manually selected reset and then set default. | 17:41 |
| lotuspsychje | blakes: well im not really a network expert here, maybe ##networking might know? | 17:41 |
| turtleGlass | usually the pirat version work the best | 17:41 |
| blakes | lotuspsychje: thanks | 17:41 |
| trism | roasted: I'm seeing the issue in System Settings/Details/Default Apps, which would be gnome-control-center, using Properties would be a nautilus bug, but that seems to be working correctly | 17:41 |
| roasted | trism: I'm glad somebody else took the time to try this out. I'm reporting the bug now against GCC. | 17:42 |
| trism | roasted: if you file a bug, poke me with the bug number, I'd be interested in subscribing | 17:42 |

| bekks | turtleGlass: It wont. The X server isnt responsible for configuring your CRT. | 18:13 |

| tjingboem | And i cannot change permissions as root | 18:13 |

| === zomnbio is now known as zomnbio_mobile | ||
| wilee-nilee | tjingboem, Bodhi is not supported here. | 18:16 |

| josePHPagoda | XML? I wasn't aware that any x stuff was stored in XML. | 18:16 |
| turtleGlass | who? | 18:16 |
| josePHPagoda | at least, I've never seen X stuff done in XML | 18:17 |
| adamk_ | josePHPagoda, X doesn't store anything in XML. The Desktop Environment might, which is probably what turtleGlass was trying to say. | 18:17 |
| turtleGlass | josePHPagoda: you are obsolet | 18:17 |
| josePHPagoda | turtleGlass: what graphics chipset are you using? (lspci will tell you that) | 18:17 |
| josePHPagoda | it's possible that it doesn't support opengl, which could result in a broken DE | 18:17 |
| bekks | josePHPagoda: He is constantly refusing help. | 18:18 |
| josePHPagoda | turtleGlass: I wouldn't go that far, I just don't stay up to date on certain stuff. | 18:18 |
| tjingboem | wilee-nilee, i know. They were bot able to help me there. But Bodhi is based upon Ubuntu 12.04 | 18:18 |
| turtleGlass | its support everthinbg except the monitor | 18:18 |
| josePHPagoda | turtleGlass: if it's a matter of the monitor simply not being supported, it would be quite difficult to get anything reasonable working on it. | 18:18 |
| josePHPagoda | but I doubt it's a monitor issue, unless the monitor doesn't report it's specs properly to X | 18:19 |
| turtleGlass | it seems i have to force feed it some mode or something | 18:19 |
| josePHPagoda | (my TV did that) | 18:19 |
| josePHPagoda | ah, so that's quite similar to my TV from a few yrs ago. | 18:19 |
| turtleGlass | its working fine in the cli | 18:19 |
| adamk_ | Specifying a mode can easily be done via xrandr or an xorg.conf file. | 18:19 |

| josePHPagoda | turtleGlass: no reason for the foul language | 18:21 |
| th0r | linux is very user friendly. It is just very choosy about who its friends are | 18:21 |
| josePHPagoda | also, that won't help you move forward toward resolution. | 18:21 |
| turtleGlass | thats whatr i tell my kids if you dont eat soup you have to use ubuntu | 18:21 |

| santagada | my graphical boot stoped working on one of the latest updates before 13.04 final (started using it on beta1). also I can't suspend the machine anymore. I think it is related to nvidia drivers (i'm using 313) | 18:24 |
| santagada | any ideas? | 18:24 |
| turtleGlass | like the choice of shutdown +h now | 18:24 |
| josePHPagoda | santagada: you could try changing which version of driver you are using | 18:24 |
| josePHPagoda | turtleGlass: I don't think that would help you get closer to solving your problem. | 18:24 |
| Blacklite_ | history | 18:24 |
| Blacklite_ | sorry. | 18:24 |
| santagada | josePHPagoda: will try, do you know where the boot screen application stores its logs? | 18:25 |
| turtleGlass | it would that and throuing this piece of crapp out the window | 18:25 |
| josePHPagoda | i don't I'm afraid. | 18:25 |
| josePHPagoda | turtleGlass: once again, I'm unsure how that would help you get your monitor working, but perhaps you know something I don't. | 18:25 |
| Blacklite_ | If you want to switch distros, and you want to use RPM's OpenSUSE is quite nice. in fact I'm using it now. | 18:25 |

| BS-Harou | hello, I need to build my own Kernel to test something for my kernel bug report. I've never compiled compiled kernel before. According to https://wiki.ubuntu.com/Kernel/BuildYourOwnKernel I need to run "sudo apt-get build-dep linux-image-$(uname -r)", however I use kernel 3.9.0-030900-generic so the apt-get command doesn't work | 19:12 |
| === LifeIsPain` is now known as LifeIsPain | ||
| BS-Harou | the question is, how do I get the build dependencies for kernel 3.9.0? | 19:12 |

| Halite | I don't get lprof: | 19:13 |
| Jordan_U | BS-Harou: "apt-get build-deb linux-image-generic", the build dependencies of the kernel don't change often. | 19:13 |

| Halite | pyfai - python library for Fast Azimuthal Integration | 19:13 |
| BS-Harou | Jordan_U: thx! :) | 19:14 |
| BluesKaj | Halite, look in the package manager , to see what gets listed under lprof | 19:14 |
| subz3r0 | so its in the repos of 12.04 and not for 12.10? | 19:14 |
| Jordan_U | BS-Harou: You're welcome. | 19:14 |
| krakish | anyone that play lol ? | 19:14 |
| Halite | probably | 19:14 |
| subz3r0 | add another repos? | 19:14 |
| Halite | it's soo hard to manage colour in ubuntu | 19:14 |

| lmat | When I apt-get install or anything else, does it always hit the same server? | 19:36 |
| lmat | Would it be better if that could be distributed somehow? | 19:37 |
| k1l | lmat: there should be a server rotation for your country | 19:37 |
| netlar | And then I created a folder that has read and write privileges for that group | 19:37 |
| lmat | k1l: Ah, okay. | 19:37 |
| netlar | When I create a folder or files, he has full access | 19:37 |
| lmat | netlar: (just reading your last three) is this what you expect? | 19:38 |
| netlar | But when he creates folders or files by default it is only access only for me | 19:38 |
| netlar | Is that right? | 19:38 |
| netlar | lmat: should go both ways right? | 19:39 |
| lmat | netlar: If the files he creates are assigned to the group, they should be accessible to everyone in the group. | 19:39 |
| lmat | netlar: Make sure to chown them to the group... | 19:39 |
| netlar | lmat: I made the whole folder that is shared have the same permissions | 19:40 |
| lmat | netlar: After the file creation? | 19:41 |
| netlar | lmat: no before the file creation | 19:41 |
| lmat | netlar: double check :) It could be that the directory and its contents are owned by the group, then a file is created that is only owned by him? | 19:42 |

| netlar | lmat: but when I create a folder or file on my side, he has full access to read write and delete | 19:43 |
| lmat | netlar: Can you see the files he has created? | 19:43 |
| netlar | yes | 19:44 |
| lmat | netlar: And their properties are something like -r--..... | 19:44 |

| josePHPagoda | BluesKaj: thanks | 19:45 |
| netlar | lmat: sorry it shows drwxr-xr-x | 19:46 |
| mrrob | jesus tit | 19:46 |
| lmat | netlar: So that means (the first "r-x") that the group who owns the file cannot write to it. Is this what you expect? | 19:46 |
| sancris | I can't get sound working out of hdmi, any hints?? | 19:47 |
| shadow98 | found the answer to my problem | 19:47 |
| netlar | lmat: actually sure, if he creates file or even folder, he would need to explicitly give me permissions | 19:47 |
| shadow98 | http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Dx117ZEKK5M | 19:48 |

| jackw411 | sancris: newer kernels have hdmi sound turnt off by default | 19:48 |
| lmat | netlar: sure, or give the group permission to write. | 19:48 |
| netlar | lmat: But why when I create files on my side it will automatically give me full permissions? | 19:48 |
| sancris | jackw411, how do I turn it on then | 19:48 |
| spexi | Hi! How to find is my install cd server or desktop without inserting it in? I haven't written the version name on the cd | 19:48 |
| spexi | or does it matter | 19:48 |
| netlar | lmat: sorry not me, I mean him | 19:48 |
| lmat | netlar: (give *him* full permissions?) I'm not sure ^_^ | 19:49 |
| jackw411 | sancris: honestly, i have no idea how I got it going: theres a guide floating about somewhere on the net | 19:49 |
| spexi | I'm giving this cd to my friend and can't check whether it is a desktop / server | 19:49 |
| lmat | netlar: Perhaps you can run a test? Create two users and a group and proceed? | 19:49 |
| lmat | netlar: So when you "touch hey", then ls -al hey , you see -rw-rw-r-- ? | 19:49 |
| netlar | lmat: this is kind of a test, he does not do much on computer yet | 19:49 |
| sancris | jackw411, I found some info, but they require installtion of software, I want ubuntu to do it natively | 19:49 |
| jackw411 | sancris: http://askubuntu.com/questions/232226/how-to-edit-kernel-parameters | 19:49 |
| lmat | netlar: sure. | 19:50 |
| sancris | jackw411, thanks | 19:50 |
| netlar | lmat: not sure what you mean by "touch" | 19:50 |
| jackw411 | sancris obviously work out what it is you are trying to add to the kernel, and be very careful! | 19:50 |
| lmat | netlar: It's a command "touch hey" touches the file "hey". | 19:50 |
| lmat | netlar: If hey doesn't exist, it will be created as an empty file. | 19:50 |
| designbybeck_ | so I just noticed this on trying to use Unetbootin on 13.04, it doesn't promote you to type in your password. Instead it just tells you you should use the commandline with sudo to launch it. Is this going to be the case for other programs that ask for sudo in the gui? | 19:51 |
| sancris | jackw411, I will :p | 19:51 |
| lmat | netlar: Do you know what the -rw-rw-r-- means? | 19:51 |
| netlar | i think so, read write for me and user and read for other | 19:52 |
| netlar | sorry mean group | 19:52 |
| lmat | netlar: close :) | 19:52 |
| samthewildone | how do I run the s.m.a.r.t in ubuntu ? | 19:52 |
| th0r | lmat: the first rwx is the permissions that the user has, the second rwx is the permissions for the group, the third rwx is the permissions for the rest of the world | 19:52 |
| lmat | netlar: first triad = what the owner can do. | 19:52 |
| lmat | th0r: close :) | 19:52 |
| netlar | lmat: ok got it | 19:53 |
| samthewildone | im trying to access the system settings but its impossible with this new setup. | 19:53 |
| lmat | netlar: The second is what the group members can do. And the third is everyone else. | 19:53 |
| netlar | lmat: well did touch hey, and it gave rights of -rm-rw-r-- | 19:53 |
| lmat | netlar: So, when I "touch hey", I get -rw-rw-r-- which means that the owner of the file (me) can rw and | 19:53 |
| netlar | lmat: sorry canto type | 19:53 |
| samthewildone | nvm it wasn't installed | 19:53 |
| lmat | netlar: same :). And the group (in this case *my* group; same as my username) can rw, and everyone else can only read. | 19:54 |
| netlar | lmat: yes | 19:54 |
| lmat | netlar: But! What group is specified? | 19:54 |
| netlar | my group, which is also his main group | 19:55 |
| lmat | netlar: And when he does it, what group is specified? | 19:55 |
| lmat | netlar: (I think we're closing on the issue :) ) | 19:55 |
| netlar | lmat: let me go over to his side | 19:55 |
| lmat | netlar: I'm going to take a whack and guess... his group to which you don't have access? ^_^ | 19:55 |
| jackw411 | i literally do not have an xorg.conf | 19:56 |

| jackw411 | i have absolutely no idea lmat | 19:56 |
| lmat | jackw411: no grep :) | 19:56 |
| jackw411 | i use awesome window manager | 19:56 |
| lmat | jackw411: find / -name xorg.conf 2> /dev/null | 19:56 |
| lmat | jackw411: I use X and I don't have a file like that. | 19:56 |
| jackw411 | lmat that just run without any return? | 19:57 |
| Jordan_U | jackw411: lmat: No need to search, Ubuntu (and all other distros with modern Xorg) don't ship a /etc/X11/xorg.conf by default as it's not needed. | 19:57 |
| netlar | lmat: ok, so did it on his side, and it says -rw-r--r-- | 19:57 |
| lmat | jackw411: did so for me, too. | 19:57 |
| lmat | netlar: interesting, but which group!? | 19:58 |

| lmat | netlar: Interesting! | 19:59 |
| netlar | lmat: the shared group | 19:59 |
| lmat | netlar: How did it get to your group? He put it there explicitly? | 19:59 |
| lmat | netlar: BTW, you should use a third group (not yours or his). | 19:59 |
| netlar | lmat: I did all the grouping in the users and group utility | 19:59 |
| ronalds | neytiri, what exactly isn't running? | 20:00 |
| Jordan_U | jackw411: Usually using the settings in Gnome Control Center, or xrandr (though you can still create an Xorg.conf, just because it's not there by default doesn't mean that it won't be used if you create one). | 20:00 |
| === Plinker_ is now known as Plinker | ||
| lmat | netlar: When user "A" is created, a group, "A", is also created and, by default, user A is in group A. | 20:00 |
| jackw411 | Jordan_U: i tried using xrandr a minute ago | 20:00 |
| lmat | netlar: This is the case for you, and your buddy. So you added your buddy to this group for you. | 20:00 |
| lmat | netlar: I think you should create a new group, C, and add you and your buddy to it. | 20:00 |
| netlar | lmat: yes I am in the same group as my user name | 20:00 |

| jackw411 | and i end up with like a split screen mess | 20:01 |

| lmat | netlar: You add users to groups, not groups to users :) | 20:02 |
| lmat | netlar: You should be in your own group, and the new group. He should be in his group and the new group. | 20:02 |
| jackw411 | Jordan_U: I've also done xrandr --output DVI-0 --primary | 20:02 |
| neytiri | ronalds, i am assuming its the whole desktop enviroment, i dont have any menu taskbar, i donthave the clise buttosn on my windows | 20:02 |
| jackw411 | do I need to dial in the resolutions somehow after setting left and right? | 20:02 |
| netlar | lmat: I cannot add a user to a group , other than in cli right? | 20:03 |

| Bray90820 | i here someone say that installing Ubuntu or any other version of Linux on a mac was a bad idea because of the power management | 20:06 |
| Bray90820 | is that true | 20:06 |
| lmat | Bray90820: nope :) | 20:06 |
| netlar | lmat: so once I add me and him to the new group, then what? | 20:06 |
| lmat | Bray90820: I think linux tends to go through battery power a bit quicker than the two big OSes. | 20:06 |
| lmat | netlar: When you want to share a file with the group, do chown :groupname filename | 20:07 |
| netlar | lmat: but it will not happen automatically | 20:07 |
| lmat | netlar: right. | 20:07 |
| Bray90820 | it has something to do with damaging the hardware inside due to the silicone on the processor | 20:07 |
| lmat | netlar: touch hey && chown :groupname hey | 20:07 |
| netlar | lmat: that would not be a problem for me, but he will not be up to speed | 20:08 |
| palomer | hello | 20:08 |
| Bray90820 | lmat: it has something to do with damaging the hardware inside due to the silicone on the processor | 20:08 |
| netlar | lmat: he is not a power user | 20:08 |
| palomer | so I installed the proprietary drivers for nvidia | 20:08 |
| lmat | netlar: create a script for him? | 20:08 |
| tgm4883 | Bray90820, we're going to need some sort of source to backup that claim | 20:08 |
| palomer | and now my icons and my taskbar aren't showing up | 20:08 |
| lmat | Bray90820: wow, never heard of that :) | 20:08 |
| palomer | and the windows key doesn't do anything | 20:08 |
| netlar | lmat: so he can just run something to share it? | 20:08 |
| lmat | netlar: Sure... | 20:08 |
| palomer | so, basically, my system is hosed | 20:09 |
| neytiri | Bray90820, i have instaled ubuntu on all of my mac hardware with no issue at all, no damage to the hardware either | 20:09 |
| lmat | netlar: Say all the shared files should be in /mnt/shared ...create a script like this: | 20:09 |
| netlar | Can that be put in the right click context menu? | 20:09 |
| palomer | can anyone help me out? | 20:09 |
| lmat | cd /mnt/shared && chown -R :groupname . | 20:09 |
| lmat | netlar: I assume so, but I don't know how (I don't really use GUI) | 20:09 |
| lmat | netlar: I think it would be easy to put this script on his desktop. | 20:09 |
| lmat | netlar: So he can double-click it. | 20:09 |
| Bray90820 | lmat: he said that the tower macpro had it's own power management tho so it was ok to install it on that one | 20:09 |
| lmat | Bray90820: Be sure to ask him for a reference. | 20:10 |
| netlar | lmat: I understand, I just am trying to make this a normal computer for the family | 20:10 |
| Bray90820 | tgm4883: i am trying to confirm or deny it in here | 20:10 |
| lmat | netlar: Ahh, good luck to you :) Your father is the other user? | 20:10 |
| netlar | lmat: no, my son, he is very lazy | 20:10 |
| Bray90820 | neytiri: how long have you had ubuntu on them | 20:10 |
| tgm4883 | Bray90820, as with all of my previous interactions with you, I can almost guarantee that you mis-understood/mis-read | 20:10 |
| lmat | netlar: Ahh, neato :) | 20:10 |
| neytiri | since mac began selling hardware with intel processors | 20:11 |
| platzhirsch | how can I add this repository https://launchpad.net/ubuntu/+source/unity to my update sources? add-apt-repository ppa:unity does not work | 20:11 |
| netlar | lmat: want to add my wife too, but I know she will not understand any of it | 20:11 |
| tgm4883 | platzhirsch, that isn't a repository | 20:11 |
| lmat | netlar: good luck! :) | 20:11 |
| lmat | netlar: So...you're wanting him to be able to right click a file and share it with dad? I don't know how to do that from GUI (context menu, etc.). | 20:12 |
| platzhirsch | tgm4883: thought so, then what is? that for instance? https://launchpad.net/ubuntu/saucy/+source/unity | 20:12 |
| netlar | lmat: thanks for your patients | 20:12 |
| netlar | lmat: exactly | 20:12 |
| lmat | netlar: But if you have one dir that should always be shared between the two of you, a static script could be easy. | 20:12 |
| MonkeyDust | platzhirsch saucy? isnt that a bit early? (6 months) | 20:12 |
| lmat | netlar: Oh yeah...it should be easy to write a script that takes a parameter, so he can drag what he wants to share on the icon of the script? | 20:12 |
| tgm4883 | platzhirsch, thats a link to a source package for 13.10, and has nothing to do with a repository | 20:12 |
| platzhirsch | MonkeyDust: I need this one patch which fixes a bug | 20:13 |
| netlar | lmat: what icon? | 20:13 |
| MonkeyDust | platzhirsch how can you need something that isnt even in alfa yet? | 20:13 |
| lmat | netlar: I'm familiar with this on Windows... | 20:13 |
| lmat | netlar: Create a script (.sh) file and put it on his desktop. | 20:13 |
| platzhirsch | MonkeyDust: the patch is also released for Raring | 20:13 |
| netlar | lmat: ok, then? | 20:13 |
| lmat | netlar: This script will chown the files in a particular directory correctly to share with you. | 20:13 |

| netlar | lmat: by just dragging the file on top of the script icon? | 20:14 |
| lmat | netlar: perhaps :) | 20:14 |
| lmat | netlar: Let me test for you :) | 20:14 |
| netlar | lmat: wow thanks | 20:14 |

| netlar | lmat: ahh that is true | 20:24 |
| lmat | sirriffsalot: If it ever plays a sound, it does DAC :) | 20:24 |
| sirriffsalot | lmat: good to know lol | 20:24 |
| tgm4883 | sirriffsalot, I'm pretty sure all sound cards to digital to analog conversion ;P | 20:24 |
| lmat | sirriffsalot: It does this (usually) using a codec. | 20:24 |
| neytiri | i am having a issue with my system where most of my GUI isn't loading, (i have my desktop icons/files showing, i can open programs using a terminal) but everything else isn't loading, no menubar, no buttons on my windows, no taskbars i am running 12.04 with the cinimon desktop enviroment | 20:25 |

| marandi | guys , i wrote a text file full of apt-get install packages and then other commands , i want to run commands in this file as root and save the output in a file , how can i do that ? | 20:25 |
| lmat | sirriffsalot: The codec (a integrated circuit) takes in samples and converts to analog. | 20:25 |
| lmat | netlar: aye. run sudo chown :group filename | 20:25 |
| tgm4883 | !cinnamon | neytiri | 20:25 |
| TheLittleOne | somehow my ubuntu server got compromised and there is a process that's brute force attacking other servers from this origin - is there a way I can find the process and kill it? | 20:25 |
| sirriffsalot | lmat: hmm. cause I'm in a silly jam at the moment | 20:25 |
| netlar | lmat: So are you on Ubuntu? | 20:25 |
| lmat | netlar: (where group is the shared group) then the group will own the file. | 20:25 |
| gordonjcp | sirriffsalot: so ask your *real* question then | 20:25 |
| lmat | netlar: YeS!! | 20:26 |
| neytiri | TheLittleOne, what exactly does the attack look like | 20:26 |
| tgm4883 | TheLittleOne, do you know which process it is? | 20:26 |
| netlar | lmat: it is a great distro, but it is very gui, ha ha | 20:26 |
| dury | phpmyadmin can't log in | 20:26 |
| BluesKaj | sirriffsalot, do you have a pcm / spdif output ? | 20:26 |
| lmat | TheLittleOne: try system monitor? | 20:26 |
| dury | #1045 Cannot log in to the MySQL server phpmyadmin | 20:26 |
| neytiri | tgm4883, what exactally was i suppose to see | 20:26 |
| lmat | TheLittleOne: Which process is using lots of CPU or IO? | 20:26 |
| sirriffsalot | BluesKaj: PCM yes | 20:26 |
| tgm4883 | neytiri, nothing. I thought there was an entry for cinnamon but I guess not | 20:26 |
| lmat | netlar: naaa :) just press ALT+CTRL+F1. it's all good. | 20:27 |
| Jordan_U | TheLittleOne: Start by disconnecting the server from the internet *now* if you haven't already, then try to determine how the attacker got in, then do a complete re-install from scratch before re-connecting the server to the internet (the last step is not optional). | 20:27 |
| BluesKaj | that's digital , sirriffsalot | 20:27 |
| lmat | I expect netlar is gone forever? | 20:27 |
| dury | is anyone available about phpmyadmin | 20:27 |
| netlar | lmat: I am gone? | 20:27 |
| zykotick9 | Jordan_U: +1 exactly! | 20:27 |
| tgm4883 | dury, has it ever worked? | 20:27 |
| sirriffsalot | BluesKaj: I thought so | 20:27 |
| gordonjcp | sirriffsalot: what is the actual problem you are trying to solve? | 20:27 |
| lmat | netlar: If you press ALT+CTRL+f1 and don't know to press ALT+CTRL+f7...you'll be gone :) | 20:27 |
| sirriffsalot | lmat: I've got to mix a track fairly well in ubuntu studio, and I found some good stereo speakers in the basement, but I've hooked them into my philips 5.1 surround subwoofer to get any sound at all with them, lol. And I'm pretty sure I'm losing a lot of the sound this way.. how would I get the most out of these stereo speakers? | 20:28 |
| dury | tgm4883: yeah!!! | 20:28 |
| gordonjcp | sirriffsalot: you'll need some sort of amplifier | 20:28 |
| sirriffsalot | gordonjcp: damn | 20:28 |
| zykotick9 | lmat: actually once in linux console, only alt+f7 to get back to gui, the ctrl is just required inside Xorg | 20:28 |
| gordonjcp | sirriffsalot: most sound cards only have a very low level output | 20:28 |
| sirriffsalot | Was hoping there would be another way | 20:28 |
| TheLittleOne | jordan_U: my service provider already said the machine is sandboxed to prevent it form doing further harm - question is what the heck can i do to track it down - not a real sys admin, just play one :-)? i can't seem to install tcpdump | 20:28 |
| netlar | lmat: I wont do that until I look it up first, ha ha | 20:28 |
| tgm4883 | dury, ok, so what did you change? and did you try a "dpkg-reconfigure phpmyadmin" | 20:28 |
| [dlp] | Could anyone possibly send me an exemplary /etc/apt/sources.list from raring? | 20:28 |
| lmat | sirriffsalot: amp. Computers put out enough sound to drive headphones. | 20:28 |
| lmat | netlar: good! You're well on your way!! | 20:28 |
| lmat | netlar: Don't run commands you don't understand :D | 20:29 |
| lmat | netlar: What IRC client are you using? | 20:29 |
| gordonjcp | sirriffsalot: also, mixing stuff down kind of needs you to have fairly "flat" loudspeakers | 20:29 |
| [dlp] | I didn't exactly follow a "standard" installation procedure. | 20:29 |
| sirriffsalot | lmat: I can mix with headphones.. but I need to get some speaker-comparison | 20:29 |
| neytiri | tgm4883, do you have any idea why its not loading, it was working fine last night | 20:29 |
| sirriffsalot | gordonjcp: flat? | 20:29 |
| dury | tgm4883: "sudo" that command? | 20:29 |
| netlar | lmat: dont laugh, I am on Pidgin | 20:29 |
| tgm4883 | dury, yes | 20:29 |
| [dlp] | And I'm missing some dependencies for Google Chrome. | 20:29 |
| gordonjcp | sirriffsalot: yes, a flat frequency response across the audible range | 20:29 |
| tgm4883 | neytiri, no idea | 20:29 |
| lmat | sirriffsalot: You'll need to get a bigger signal :) | 20:30 |
| TheLittleOne | neytiri: May 5 19:03:47 milo sshd[16442]: Invalid user 0 from <my ip> is one attempt from log file (was given to me from the provider who alerted me to the compromise) | 20:30 |
| gordonjcp | sirriffsalot: lots of "hifi" speakers have got all sorts of weird peaks and dips to make them sound good | 20:30 |
| tgm4883 | [dlp], are you missing libudev0? | 20:30 |
| [dlp] | Not sure... hold on. | 20:30 |
| sirriffsalot | gordonjcp: well I've got two sets to choose from.. one is 25 years old, the other fairly new | 20:30 |
| gordonjcp | sirriffsalot: age is irrelevant | 20:30 |
| sirriffsalot | gordonjcp: DALI brand.. whatever that is | 20:30 |
| dury | tgm4883: right I will try later have to go.... really appreciate your advice, honestly | 20:30 |
| lmat | netlar: I use irssi. It's cli :) | 20:30 |
| sirriffsalot | gordonjcp: sounds wrong, hehe | 20:31 |
| netlar | lmat: that is why I said don't laugh, figured you are just working from cli | 20:31 |
| gordonjcp | sirriffsalot: well I've got cheap crappy old speakers, and cheap crappy new speakers | 20:31 |
| lmat | netlar: mostly :) | 20:31 |
| lmat | netlar: for surfing web, elinks can't be beat ^_^ | 20:31 |
| [dlp] | tgm4883: I am missing...: libgconf2-4, libnss3-1d and libudev0. | 20:31 |
| gordonjcp | sirriffsalot: I've also got very good old speakers and very good relatively new speakers | 20:31 |
| BluesKaj | sirriffsalot, you should feed a digital or analog mixer from the said outputs and use an amplifier to real audio speakers , not pc speakers to monitor the sound | 20:31 |
| neytiri | TheLittleOne, yes sounds like you got compromised, disconect the system from the internet, check to see how he got in and then reinstall your system (reinstalling is NOT optional) | 20:31 |
| Bray90820_ | Test | 20:31 |
| [dlp] | Which can't be satisfied. | 20:32 |
| tgm4883 | [dlp], yea, that is an issue with google chrome | 20:32 |
| netlar | lmat: wow you are hardcore | 20:32 |
| [dlp] | Oh, ffs. | 20:32 |
| tgm4883 | [dlp], you'll need to install the 'testing' version of chrome | 20:32 |
| sirriffsalot | BluesKaj: oh, I thought you meant the "PCM" in the alsamixer | 20:32 |
| lmat | neytiri: There's a good distro for you :) check out "linux vulnerable" | 20:32 |
| sirriffsalot | BluesKaj: no idea whether they are "pc speakers" | 20:32 |
| sirriffsalot | BluesKaj: haha :) | 20:32 |
| [dlp] | Okey dokey. | 20:32 |
| dury | byeee | 20:32 |
| neytiri | lmat, how dies that solve my issue | 20:32 |
| tgm4883 | [dlp], google-chrome-unstable that is | 20:33 |
| lmat | neytiri: oh no, not at all! | 20:33 |
| [dlp] | So I'm not missing packages, then. I did end up carving /etc/apt/sources.list myself, so that was my first suspicion. | 20:33 |
| tgm4883 | [dlp], the issue is fixed, but it looks like it hasn't made it's way to stable yet | 20:33 |
| [dlp] | Cool. | 20:33 |
| BluesKaj | pcm yes , you can use it if you have a device that converts digital to analog , otherwise the analog line level out will do , sirriffsalot | 20:33 |
| TheLittleOne | neytiri: got it, thanks - will do that | 20:34 |
| OerHeks | neytiri, i just read back issue with cinamon desktop? | 20:34 |

| neytiri | OerHeks, yes | 20:34 |
| CristianChelu | I cloned the upstream source for upower and It doesn't recognize the --enable-debug command. | 20:35 |
| TheLittleOne | neytiri: just curious how you would have diagnosed the issue out of curiosity? check log files, system files modified in X days…etc? any technique? thanks. | 20:35 |
| [dlp] | Cheers man. | 20:35 |

| neytiri | from a terminal sudo shutdown -h -P now since i wasnt home | 20:46 |
| BluesKaj | sirriffsalot , real audio amplifiers don't come with matching speakers , the idea of hifi is decent loudspeakers can be driven by any decent amplifier. | 20:47 |

| gordonjcp | deadweasel: yeah, but don't go nuts with non-alphanumerics and stuff ;-) | 20:52 |
| zeep | it's not that hard if you have unlimited time :), just try every variation of numbers, letters in all modes | 20:52 |

| bekks | transit441: sending HUP to a service just causes that message, a reload of the config, and the process starts again. | 21:39 |
| transit441 | bekks: well /var/logs/openvpn shows: Options error: --server directive network/netmask combination is invalid | 21:40 |
| bekks | transit441: Thats an error, and the explanation is obvious. | 21:40 |
| transit441 | bekks: openvpn.conf is server 10.8.0.0 255.255.255.0 | 21:40 |
| transit441 | i see nothing wrong with those | 21:40 |
| bekks | transit441: a classical class A network has a /8 mask, not a /24. | 21:41 |
| bekks | transit441: Use some 192.168.x.y network instead, which is a class C and uses /24 | 21:41 |
| transit441 | bekks: my tun0 shows inet addr:10.8.0.1 P-t-P:10.8.0.2 Mask:255.255.255.255 | 21:42 |
| transit441 | should i use those 2 addresses instead? | 21:42 |
| transit441 | i have no idea what you are referring to by /8 and /24 mask | 21:42 |
| bekks | transit441: /8 and /24 are the CIDR representations of 255.0.0.0 and 255.255.255.0 | 21:43 |

| mustmodify | mojtaba: seriously, version control is the only way to go when more than one person is working on a document. Plus, there are a TON of places out there that will host free repositories for you. Github, bitbucket, and unfuddle to name 3. | 22:38 |
| mustmodify | is trillian available for linux? | 22:39 |
| mustmodify | probably not. | 22:39 |

| pragmaticenigma | Howdy everyone! Does anyone know where I might find where a program is being setup to autostart when I login to Ubuntu?

| tim_tam | Bray90820: irssi | 22:41 |
| Bray90820 | can empathy connect to irc | 22:42 |
| trism | pragmaticenigma: x11vnc shouldn't autostart by default, maybe you are bumping into vino? gsettings get org.gnome.Vino enabled; | 22:44 |
| trism | pragmaticenigma: though you could look through /etc/xdg/autostart/ and ~/.config/autostart/ to see if you dropped any files in there to start x11vnc | 22:44 |

| GunArm1 | i'm having a CRAZY issue, where I have a mdadm array (md1) online and mounted and running, which is visible at /dev/md1, but all the drives that compose it (/dev/sdk sdl sdm according to /proc/mdstat) are not showing up in /dev/ I don't even know what to make of this... | 23:02 |
| GunArm1 | I created the array while the server has been up, to copy files off of my failing other array, which has since died, so this array is the last backup of my files and I'm afraid to restart my machine if it's in some wierd state like this | 23:03 |

| roasted | I'm swapping out my HDD for an SSD. I ran rsync -avh on it to get the data on the SSD. Now I'm trying to install grub. i succeeded in doing so but when I boot up, the grub splash screen says could not mount blahblahblah. The UUID in the error is to my old HDD. I changed /etc/fstab to have the UUID's for my SSD partitions (swap, /, etc) but grub is still yielding the old UUID in the error. Any insight? | 23:10 |
| beandog | GunArm1: if mdstat says it's synced okay, then it should be fine on a reboot. | 23:10 |
| Dr_Willis | Catilius: install what ubuntu? You just asked how to Install Slitaz on android/arm - thats not ubuntu. | 23:10 |
| troulouliou_dev | hi how to create an accoutn for friends from gnome classic | 23:10 |
| beandog | GunArm1: mdadm will autobuild the array anyway by looking at the disk labels (raid autodetect) | 23:10 |
| beandog | GunArm1: I assume it's a raid1 mirror? | 23:10 |
| Dr_Willis | troulouliou_dev: easy way 'sudo adduser billgates' or whoever you want the username to be | 23:11 |
| troulouliou_dev | Dr_Willis, i mean a twitter or facebook account for friends (ex gwibbler) | 23:12 |

| overedge | but every time i use gigo i get nothing | 23:13 |
| beandog | GunArm1: eh, it happens if you did something to /dev. The physical devices are still there, though. And the RAID's gonna setup just fine as long as it has device names. The RAID metadata keeps track of what kind of a state it's in and what the array is like. You can't just accidentally rebuild an array wrong. You'd have to force it that way. | 23:14 |

| GunArm1 | but ill look | 23:16 |
| Dr_Willis | Catilius: most likely you dd that img to a sd card or usb. and boot it on whatever arm device you have. | 23:16 |
| beandog | GunArm1: This is the thing ... I'd shut down the raid manually | 23:16 |

| roasted | Question - I switched from a HDD to SSD by rsync -avh'ing the two drives. Now GRUB is still attached to my old HDD UUID. I need to update it with the SSD UUID, but you cannot edit grub.cfg (that's what it says anyway since that file is auto generated).

| beandog | roasted: grub-update | 23:17 |
| beandog | or is it update-grub | 23:18 |

| yofun | Treaver: can you use a usb keyboard? | 23:18 |
| Treaver | No | 23:19 |
| Dr_Willis | roasted: boot a live cd and use the boot-repair tool. or edit the etc/default/grub file to correct the uuid, and check fstab also.. or use 'tune2fs' to set the UUID to be the same as it was on the other hd | 23:19 |
| Treaver | I don't have one | 23:19 |

| beandog | roasted: oh, do what Dr_Willis said. | 23:19 |

| fellayaboy | ive used vnc with ubuntu and it always gives me problems | 23:44 |
| Dr_Willis | I am remoteing in from my android phone over 4g... so its not the fastest way ;) | 23:44 |
| beandog | michael87: handbrake will make your baby go to sleep it is so awesome. | 23:44 |
| fellayaboy | freeze or doesnt even register at all | 23:44 |
| computer88 | i was trying to install MS office 2010 using wine. running 64bit ubuntu v 13 on a newer dell pc. tried winecfg 32bit but that only helped a little. any help is appreciated | 23:44 |
| earl2 | Dr_Willis: I'm actually OK with that.... I'd just like to see what it looks like and do som ethings graphically that are very hard for me to do at the prompt | 23:44 |
| earl2 | Dr_Willis: I understand the 3 sec frustration | 23:45 |
| bray90820 | linux cant be installed on a mac because linux has no smc control | 23:45 |
| earl2 | Dr_Willis: So how would I go about setting this up? | 23:45 |
| subcool | Thanks Dr_Willis .. i like vnc4viewer, maybe the server will work out.. | 23:45 |
| Dr_Willis | earl2: ssh and x forwrding is trivial to get going. for vnc and a ssh tunle - see the url the bot gave earlier | 23:45 |
| fellayaboy | how can i set up or edit connections via terminal? i usually use gui of network manager but i dont have the machine locally | 23:45 |
| beandog | michael87: http://www.thepowerbase.com/2012/03/install-handbrake-in-ubuntu-12-04/ | 23:46 |
| anonymous_ | damn theres alot of peeps on here | 23:46 |
| michael87 | beandog, I love handbrake swear by it. problem is that it is an encoding application and not a copy one. I'm running a laptop. Also I have I installed the free dvd reading sofware libdvdcss or something. And handbrake stops encoding before it can start with the movie | 23:46 |
| Dr_Willis | anonymous_: actually its a slow day.. | 23:46 |
| beandog | michael87: have you tried a recent snapshot? | 23:46 |
| computer88 | wheres the best place to get help with wine . i think office errror is due to be new | 23:47 |
| compdoc | vnc4server is very reliable | 23:47 |
| earl2 | Dr_Willis: how can I use ssh if I don't own a server though? (just have the two computers at home) | 23:47 |
| beandog | michael87: Okay, if you're trying to install something manually, then yah, you'll need latest libdvdcss and libdvdread. | 23:47 |
| michael87 | beandog, no. I am running the latest one o.9.8 | 23:47 |
| fellayaboy | earl2 any computer can be a server | 23:47 |
| Dr_Willis | earl2: err., a linux machine is a server.. just install the ssh service | 23:48 |
| beandog | michael87: they only do releases like ... once a year ... grab a recent snapshot, and it might fix your problem | 23:48 |
| michael87 | beandog, also I am on raring ringtail and I installed the one for precise until handbrake for raring is complete | 23:48 |
| fellayaboy | earl2 your phone can be a "server" | 23:48 |
| bray90820 | Can someone confirm or deny that because linux doesn't have SMC control if you install it on a mac it will ruin the processor | 23:48 |
| beandog | michael87: oh look ... new release came out ... today :D | 23:48 |
| beandog | michael87: http://handbrake.fr/ | 23:48 |
| Dr_Willis | bray90820: lots of people use linux on apple hardware. | 23:48 |
| utfans05_2 | bray90820 have you heard of macbuntu? | 23:49 |
| earl2 | actually I just googled something. what do you think about "teamviewer" for linux? | 23:49 |
| earl2 | it would seem to fit the bill for what I'm doing... | 23:49 |
| computer88 | any ideas on how to install office in wine? | 23:49 |
| Dr_Willis | earl2: try it and you decide. | 23:49 |
| earl2 | do you think I might hvae luck with it? | 23:49 |
| fellayaboy | earl2 just install openssh-server on the pc u wish to connect to.. | 23:49 |
| Dr_Willis | computer88: see the #winehq channel and the wine app database | 23:49 |
| bray90820 | utfans05_2: isn't that just a theme | 23:49 |
| utfans05_2 | i used teamviewer from my phone to access information on my desktop when i needed it, its not as fast as you may want but it does a decent job | 23:49 |
| utfans05_2 | bray90820 i believe its a full distro | 23:50 |
| earl2 | fellayaboy, is there any chance that I can't conect to it due to ports porblems? | 23:50 |
| fellayaboy | i changed from vnc to teamviewer | 23:50 |
| earl2 | i'm not in charge of the router it's behind | 23:50 |
| fellayaboy | just works way better for me | 23:50 |
| computer88 | whats the newbie channel called? | 23:50 |
| fellayaboy | which is a shame | 23:50 |
| Dr_Willis | last i looked 'macbuntu' was a very very badly done script.. | 23:50 |
| earl2 | if I go the openssh-server route will I defoinitely be able to connect to it? | 23:50 |
| beandog | computer88: search winehq.com too | 23:50 |
| Fatalnix | When is Ubuntu slammin salmon coming out again?! | 23:50 |
| bray90820 | utfans05_2: Macbuntu is an open-source program, designed to transform Linux’s appearance and layout into a Mac OS X environment | 23:50 |
| Dr_Willis | earl2: you can ssh into a pc... if you set it up right.. | 23:50 |
| fellayaboy | earl2 u have to open port 22 on the "server" which is the pc u will connect to | 23:50 |
| Fatalnix | I can't wait! | 23:50 |
| michael87 | beandog, cool. I'll give it a shot. crossing my fingers for an mpeg2 passthrough. Would help out a hell of alot in this case. Doubtful. If it fixes this at the very least I'll be happy. Don't want to go back to windows 7 on my laptop because my wine is being a pain in the but for almost all windows apps | 23:51 |
| fellayaboy | i mean to the server..from your router | 23:51 |
| Dr_Willis | earl2: i ssh from my android poone to my home pc all the time | 23:51 |
| computer88 | thanks bean | 23:51 |
| fellayaboy | as do i ..but i ssh through an iphone | 23:51 |
| beandog | michael87: well, there's *more* ways to get it off there ... but ... you'd have to compile stuff, I dunno how up to that you are. | 23:51 |
| utfans05_2 | bray90820, im looking now, | 23:51 |
| Fatalnix | Dr_Willis: you should run sshd on it and activate gateway ports. Free proxy server anytime anywhere. | 23:51 |
| beandog | michael87: I'd try makemkv or handbrake first, obviously | 23:51 |
| Fatalnix | mobile proxy* | 23:51 |
| beandog | michael87: anyway, it's actually not that hard, just install the two libs and then build something manually. Good luck bro, I gotta run. | 23:52 |
| michael87 | beandog, I am a noob at building manually | 23:52 |
| Fatalnix | ok. enough friendly trolling | 23:52 |
| utfans05_2 | bray90820, if you properly setup your uefi on your mac there should be no issues with running linux on a mac | 23:52 |
| beandog | michael87: it's a good chance to start :) | 23:53 |
| fellayaboy | earl2 if your using ubuntu just open a terminal and type in sudo apt-get install openssh-server...once its installed all you have to do is go into your router settings and open port 22 for that machine | 23:53 |
| bray90820 | utfans05_2: how would i do that | 23:53 |
| beandog | fellayaboy: doesn't it install by default? | 23:53 |
| utfans05_2 | bray90820, i would have to do some research cause i have not done that myself but i know a few people with macbooks running different linux distros | 23:54 |
| earl2 | okay thanks | 23:54 |
| earl2 | I'm going to try something brb | 23:54 |
| fellayaboy | not from my experience beandog...but i could be wrong..i know i had to do that lots of times unless the new versions have been installing it by default | 23:54 |
| earl2 | thanks for the help guys | 23:54 |
| bray90820 | utfans05_2: but the guy is telling me after a wile the logic board goes bad | 23:54 |
| beandog | fellayaboy: oh oka | 23:54 |
| ThePiousPriest | hello all, how do I install flash on ubuntu? | 23:55 |
| utfans05_2 | bray90820, what ever guy is telling you this is wrong lol | 23:55 |
| fellayaboy | usually i go to ubuntu software center and install a package called ubuntu restricted extras..and it will install a bunch of common stuff like flash java and other things to play mp3 and movies | 23:56 |
| bray90820 | /home/aaron/Desktop/Screenshot from 2013-05-06 18:56:06.png | 23:56 |

| ThePiousPriest | Also, I'm having issues using my wireless USB card. Ubuntu sees it when I do lsusb | 23:57 |
| michael87 | ok so how do you clear the recent previews in the start menu? say you have some videos you don't want friends or family to view lol. | 23:57 |
