[00:00] 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. [00:01] omg. :( [00:01] When I change the folder Icon, it shows a border outline, how can I avoid that? [00:01] Or have oem discs you want your booty covered [00:02] No problem :( I will try on vm. [00:02] hemangpatel, Good idea to start with. ;) [00:02] I don't want to try new big changes, [00:02] wilee-nilee: how long since you bought a laptop? even high end ones don't have recovery disks anymore. [00:02] in laptop [00:02] it's a pain in the ass. [00:02] nevyn, You can order them from the manufacturers. [00:03] nevyn, YOU can clone the setup, many ways to back stuff up. [00:03] sure. cloneing. but most things ship with hidden "system" partitions to do recovery these days. [00:03] and no original media at all (other than the contents of the hdd. [00:04] nevyn, And anyone who relies on those is a fool. [00:04] I have 12.04 in desktop (dual boot). So only upgrade button will upgrade to 13.04 ? [00:05] 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] hemangpatel, Through 12.10 [00:05] yes [00:06] I have seen that now more people are using ubuntu.. Waiting of mobile release. [00:08] nice. [00:08] thank you all.. [00:08] you are welcome. [00:09] see ya.. [00:10] yup === CanadianPirate|a is now known as CanadianPirate [00:23] 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 :)? [00:25] !uefi [00:25] 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 [00:26] !Flood [00:26] For posting multi-line texts into the channel, please use http://paste.ubuntu.com | To post !screenshots use http://imagebin.org/?page=add | !pastebinit to paste directly from command line | Make sure you give us the URL for your paste - see also the channel topic. [00:26] Boa Noite Pessoal [00:28] 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 [00:30] Free Anakata! [00:31] An0nym0us still here! [00:31] jamesgcd, i do not have an uefi device, all i understand is to disable secure boot and follow the instructions [00:31] jamesgcd, Best support in general I have seen on uefi is at the ubuntu forums. [00:32] 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] jamesgcd, Look for a mod to be your best help. [00:33] 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] 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 [00:34] wilee-nilee: I still can't install debian tho :( [00:35] nevyn: Debian 7 has just added UEFI support (and was released 2 days ago, IIRC), but secure boot isn't supported yet === funky is now known as algo [00:37] is there amazon aws channel here? === algo is now known as Guest42900 [00:38] jamesgcd, I'm not sure gparted sees gpt correctly. === Guest42900 is now known as globalfun === globalfun is now known as global12 [00:38] 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 [00:39] jamesgcd: I've filed an installation report which was studiously ignored... [00:40] jamesgcd, Heh you reinstalled W8 in legacy on a uefi, you want a challenge eh. ;) [00:40] thurstylark: Hello my friend are you there? [00:41] :) [00:41] yes I am [00:41] I am friend of people [00:41] 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] :P [00:41] jair google ubuntu full iso [00:41] does this mean I can point to this address boot ubuntu mini.iso and the net installation will be executed? [00:42] 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] who knows here how I can launch applications across say 10 aws instances at once? [00:42] global12: I am not looking for the full CD, I normally use netinst iso for Linux Debian [00:42] anyone used OpsWorks? [00:42] global12: that is a nice question, have you look into juju? [00:43] global12: I think you can do something similar with it [00:43] jair checking [00:43] :D [00:43] global12: are you currently using EC2? [00:43] AWS [00:43] jair yes [00:43] ec2 rds [00:43] 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 [00:44] global12: nice nice [00:44] jamesgcd: I'm well aware... [00:44] funny their ubuntu distro comes with 2 ephemeral drives [00:44] global12: you mean the amazon one? [00:44] yes [00:44] nevyn: ah, just making sure :p! [00:44] jamesgcd: I read mjg59's blog (other than ad hominiem crack) and lwn ;) [00:44] root from ebs and for some reason 2 instant mem drives [00:45] I deleted them prior to launch seems to work [00:45] jamesgcd: maybe just an invalid partition table? http://gparted.sourceforge.net/h2-fix-msdos-pt.php [00:45] nevyn: can't honestly say I've heard of either of them, I'll google them sometime :p [00:45] global12: but you can customize the whole instance installation correct? [00:46] jamesgcd: lwn is linux weekly news (edited by Jonathan Corbett) === Dr_Manhattan is now known as DrManhattan [00:46] and mjg59 is the guy that maintains substancial hunks of the earlyboot stuff and acpi guru [00:47] :D === airtonix_ is now known as airtonix [00:47] nevyn: I see, I'll check them out afterwards. alps : thanks for the link, it seems to be pretty much what I'm experiencing so should be massively helpful :)! cheers!

[01:09] anakata is free [01:09] so is irssi lol [01:10] although gotta say xchat is better [01:10] meerkat: =] [01:10] I want to backups similar to time machine, Deja Dup seems like a solution. Anyone have any serious complains of the program? [01:11] backuppc? [01:12] nevyn: what is that? [01:12] suckalolly: please don't [01:12] http://backuppc.sourceforge.net/ [01:12] netlar: ^^ [01:13] please dont wat? [01:13] does ubuntu come with firewall already configured [01:13] Quick question, with UFW is there any way I can add a rule with the source being the current subnet without having to explicitly allow the specific subnet. (such as the rule allows whatever the current subnet is)? [01:14] nevyn: so Deja Dup is not good? [01:14] dunno. just adding a suggestion of something I've used in the past. [01:14] OK, thanks nevyn [01:16] hey [01:17] suckalolly: troll.

[01:22] has anyone install ubuntu using netinst? [01:22] thurstylark: hey! [01:22] jair, Several times [01:22] < irssi [01:22] also weechat [01:22] jair: netinst is called mini in ubuntu-lingo [01:23] jair: Ahh! you were the one that pinged me! [01:23] I'm guessing. [01:23] wilee-nilee:ohhh so that is the cd I need to use [01:23] thurstylark: hahaha [01:23] called the alternative now [01:23] 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] jair: I just saw that I got a ping, but i can't scroll back too far :P [01:24] jair: you trying the net install? [01:24] 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] jair: ok... [01:24] wilee-nilee: thank you for the clarification, I saw the mini.sio in the netinst directory [01:25] loganlee: ? [01:25] 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] jair, an alternative actually among others. http://www.ubuntu.com/download/alternative-downloads [01:26] 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] crankharder, Whys would you do that? [01:26] wilee-nilee: so I will download that and create my usb installer [01:26] wilee-nilee: for the awesomes [01:26] jair: Ahh. Well, any of the iso's will work, you just have to get it on the usb drive right. [01:27] 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] thurstylark: right, I am interested in the text base and smallest ;) I can install the rest from the network [01:27] crankharder, That is not awesomeness it is stupidity. ;) [01:28] wilee-nilee: your'e saying the guy that added NOPASSWD to sudoers is stupid? [01:29] How can I obtain the name of the process corresponding to a taskbar icon? [01:31] 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] in this directory "/ubuntu/dists/raring/main/installer-amd64/current/images/netboot" there is a mini.iso [01:31] jair: it would be this one: http://releases.ubuntu.com/12.04/ubuntu-12.04.2-alternate-i386.iso.torrent [01:31] is that all I need on the usb installer plus the bootable files. [01:32] jair, A iso is all you need [01:32] thurstylark: is alternate _really_ what was previously called mini.iso? [01:32] thurstylark: hmm I think I found the one I was looking for ;) [01:32] Where is permission issues of 'ls' logged?

[01:37] anyone know if there is ubuntu software that will let me capture video from a firewire webcam and audio from my sound card and capture them as one file ? [01:37] loganlee: thank you my friend but I am good to go with the netinst [01:37] wilee-nilee: big thanks for clarify [01:38] jair, No problem. [01:40] acovrig, Mount it and run gksudo nautilus navigate to it and you have full root. [01:41] If you are using nautilus that is. [01:42] wilee-nilee, I am running without X, accessing via sshfs... [01:42] 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] and I am not going to allow root login via ssh [01:43] probably so my bad. [01:43] zykotick9, u mean chmod 777 mount; sudo mount /dev/sdX mnt [01:43] acovrig: mount first, then chmod. [01:44] zykotick9, works perfectly, I did the chmod first and couldn't figure out why it wouldn't work lol [01:44] Is it just me, or is getting MythTV working a battle for everyone else? [01:45] Oryx: it's a challenge for sure ;) thus mythbuntu [01:45] That might be my solution at this point.. [01:45] Something as simple as the HDHomeRun Prime (ethernet based tuner) is a challenge [01:46] It's all IP at that point, shouldn't be this difficult! :D [01:46] 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? [01:48] What SATA revision is it? [01:48] sata 2 [01:48] Theoretically, you can get 300 MB/s out of SATA 2 [01:49] celso, just what kind of magical HDD do you have that can do 450MB/s? === hades is now known as Guest83882 [01:49] Might be an SSD? [01:50] well, i've read that in theory, usb3 allows up to 450mb/s speed. And its no ssd. [01:50] Muny: i 4 part raid drive can get up to that speed with no problems :S [01:50] Muny, considering "usual 70MB/s" it looks too me like a rather standard 5400rpm drive :) [01:50] celso, there is no HDD out there capable of reading data off platters with that speed [01:51] actually 5400 rpm is hopelesslyy outdated [01:51] Funny, because I can barely get 20 MB/s on my 7200 RPM Barracuda [01:51] 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] well, i tlhink i explayned bad. [01:51] let me try again. [01:51] >explayned [01:51] o0 unless you have raid array :S [01:51] swordsmanz, you'd be surprised at the percentage of external HDDs still comming in 5400rpm variety. [01:52] i need banana drink [01:52] WD's caviar green line is 5400 arpm [01:52] mmmmm [01:52] yes its sad ppl stand for it [01:52] *rpm [01:52] for less power usage [01:52] swordsmanz, honestly, for external storage couldn't care less [01:53] especially since 7200s tend to require double USB power supply [01:53] at least on more cheapish laptops :) [01:53] 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] i guess it depends what you use your hard drive for i [01:53] celso, about 60-80 MB/s of sustained read since the HDD itself can't read faster. [01:53] damn [01:54] celso, speed of the connection from computer to the HDD won't make a difference [01:54] since it's not what's limiting you ;) [01:54] and an HDD 7400rpm? [01:54] usually around 70-90 :) === jacob_ is now known as Guest15221 [01:54] Hey does anyone know about network drivers? [01:54] depends on where on platters and how good is the drive ;) [01:54] facepalm [01:54] celso, just how much DID you expect? [01:54] it's not like we ever had faster HDDs :P [01:55] well, at least about 200MB/s [01:55] even SSDs rarely go over 150MB/s in real world [01:55] except for short times [01:55] ahhh [01:56] i though it would make a diference, since its usb 3. [01:56] so, what is the purpose of the usb3? [01:56] again, that's the speed of the connection, not the actual hardware :P [01:57] also if your looking for drive performance usb is awful, use firewire or sata === Guest15221 is now known as ekaJake [01:57] hummm... [01:57] ugh, firewire the hardware killer -_- [01:58] well, i think i will go to a ssd [01:58] Hi, does anyone know about network drivers for Ubuntu? [01:58] at least for 64gb for now... [01:58] Thank you guys! [01:58] swordsmanz, haven't noticed any performance differences for HDDs over USB3 or SATA3, any other experience? [01:59] ekaJake: wireless or wired? [02:00] ekaJake: i never got any need to install network drivers. ubuntu recognize most off all. [02:00] 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 === global12 is now known as alex_fun [02:01] swordsmanz, you mean "will continue to work with 400MB/s" :P [02:01] and yes, I'd very much like a future where we have 400MB/s external drivers [02:01] *drives [02:01] but we're still "a little bit" short ;) [02:01] (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. :( [02:02] makara, are you using hybrid graphics? [02:02] celso, what is that? [02:02] if you have dual graphics card? [02:02] Hello. Does any know of a program that can make a image of my current ubuntu setup? Like norton ghost on windows. [02:02] Mavrik: no i mean it will start slowing down to about 200mbs every time the system makes a read [02:03] yeh does ubuntu support dual graphics card? [02:03] celso, i have intel and nvidia on my laptop [02:03] I installed flash through ubuntu software, however chromium has a few page tearing and flash glitches. [02:03] eddievanhoy: hmmm good thing [02:03] Oh hey celso. Yeah the drivers aren't even showing up. [02:03] loganlee, general rule of thumb is "no" [02:03] Mavrik: ook [02:03] loganlee, the actual answer "depends" [02:03] loganlee? Is that a yes? [02:03] samthewildone, be happy flash works at all.. theres a lot of peopel that cant get it working. [02:03] loganlee: https://help.ubuntu.com/community/HybridGraphics [02:04] eddievanhoy: i dont know but im sure there is [02:04] I've just installed ubuntu tweak and it won't open either [02:04] It works fine under while running off the usb though. [02:04] samthewildone, google-chrome has its own flash built in that might work better [02:04] ok thank you [02:04] makara i think the use of hybrid graphics is what is causing that. [02:04] But when I install ubuntu to the harddrive it forgets about the drivers I guess, [02:04] 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] 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 [02:05] ook === DarkAce-Z is now known as DarkAceZ [02:05] loganlee, and even then you get like 30% performance penalty on discrete graphics due to mem copies [02:05] makara what do you use to shutdown one of the card? [02:05] so… buy intel for Linux :D [02:06] celso, I don't do any switching. And I don't agree. Why would that affect the sound card? [02:06] so this is an chatting room for ubuntu users? [02:06] yes [02:06] iuiself, Support === dominic_ is now known as mdih [02:06] celso, and why would the desktop not show even if I am using one or the other card? [02:07] because it requires working HW acceleration [02:07] 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] loganlee: the many permutations of connecting GPU's to displays and connectors are all fully explored in the market. [02:07] makara: my pc have intel + ati cards, and when i use vgaswitcheroo to shutdown one card, it disables the sound.

[02:11] samthewildone, Try installing gdebi and see if it finds dependencies. [02:11] Do you mean my driver? [02:12] It's a blue cable I'm using. [02:12] no. the name of your card [02:13] What is a network card, a device or software? [02:13] What would be a good way to create a text menu/grid in a script? I was thinking dialog or whiptail. [02:13] samthewildone, you sure it is not "libudev0" [02:13] Line of the night "It's a blue cable I'm using." [02:13] is it just me, or is vmware a pos?

Everything was working fine 2 days ago and I didn't go changing any graphics settings [02:15] wilee-nilee, I just downloaded and installed it from that link I posted, now able to install g-chrome [02:15] cpare: ESXi, trying to get vcloud/director going along with workstation [02:15] Giraffe - I ran Server @ home for a long time, with a high level of success [02:15] ekajake : run on terminal: sudo lshw -class network [02:15] anyone know of a ppa or package that I can use to get qt3 , qt3-dev, libqt3-* on 13.04? [02:15] samthewildone, Cool [02:15] Giraffe - Server used to be the free version, I am not sure if it's still available [02:15] cpare: im trying to build a multi node multi tennant self serv virtualized 'cloud' [02:15] ok 1 sec [02:16] Giraffe - I moved on to VirtualBox as its in the sources [02:16] ekajake : thyen go to pastebin an put the link here [02:16] ekajake : pastebin link: http://pastebin.com/ [02:16] cpare: im trying to build production quality 'cloud' ... id rather go the openstack route than vmware [02:16] ok [02:16] giraffe - we did something similar with Server and Altiris in a PoC [02:16] orly [02:16] giraffe - but it never made it to prime time [02:16] loganless, well since I am using bash I would apreciate something I can use from bash.

[02:19] Its running from the usb [02:19] i didn't understand.. [02:19] no real changes can be done to it right [02:20] but did you make that command? [02:21] wtf? [02:21] now he leaves... [02:21] k. time for me to go too. [02:21] Bye === derp is now known as qreb [02:25] FLIP OUT! [02:25] Greetings [02:26] welcome [02:26] 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] makara, i dont see how those 2 would be related. [02:27] hello [02:27] and the menu layout is defined by the various .desktop launcher files [02:27] 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] E: Unable to locate package fglrx_12.104-0ubuntu1_amd64.deb [02:27] KyleK, the package name is NOT the same as the 'deb file name' [02:27] the package is there in the home folder.... === RTFMPLZ is now known as r_t_f_m [02:28] you could rename fungame.deb to be foo.deb and install it.. and the package name does NOT change [02:28] 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? [02:29] Dr_willis, how can I find out why software centre crashes? You can throw the book at me [02:30] it doesn't give the usual application crashed, send info to canonical dialog [02:30] 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 [02:31] So the next version of Ubuntu is 13.10? [02:32] makara, run it from terminal and look for error messages would be the first thing i would try [02:33] KyleK, apt-get remove fgl should auto complete package names i belive === _BJFreeman is now known as BJfreeman [02:33] will try that... gimme a minute [02:34] netlar, yes. the version # is the year.month of release. every 6 Mo. [02:34] Dr_willis: did not know how that was numbered thanks [02:35] is the .04 release the LTS or are they doing that anymore? [02:35] 12.04 is lts [02:35] i forget ;) every 2 years? i rarely worry about lts or not [02:35] 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] lts are 2 or 3 years [02:36] I heard they are not doing the 10 year LTS anymore [02:36] 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] x error [02:36] whoever, its a bit complex if you dont understand grub2 [02:37] okay that worked... now for the money question. [02:39] http://www.pendrivelinux.com/boot-multiple-iso-from-usb-via-grub2-using-linux/ [02:39] 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? [02:40] Dr_willis: corract but the app that i am triig to use wouldn't even recognise my thumbdrive [02:40] KyleK, some times it gets confused and dosent know what video card/drivers it should install. [02:40] >.< thats wonderful. [02:40] whoever, try mounting it by hand perhaps? it may have some other issue thats the whole problem [02:40] <--windows guru.... linux dummy :( [02:40] Dr_willis: the cli guide looks easier then the frustrting script that doesnt seem to work [02:40] then you got ati that removes cards as quick as they can from the linux drivers because it makes for less work for them [02:41] whoever, that guide is 3 yrs old however.. its not to complex. if you know some linux basics. [02:41] Dr_willis: i triec that i can clearly mount see and access the thumb drive by hand [02:41] anyone here [02:41] Yup [02:41] 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 [02:42] legacy drivers may or may not work with newer kernels. or versions of X. [02:42] Brand new to Ubuntu [02:42] running 12.04 and want to change the Desktop envirtment. I sae a YouTube Video (Hak5) but it showed the Ubuntu Unity but 11.04 now do I change the Desktop envirtment in 12.04 [02:43] I want to check out ofer DE's [02:43] Mac_Write, install whatever other desktop env. you want.. then select them at the login screen. [02:43] Mac_Write, for example ' sudo apt-get install kubuntu-desktop' will install all of the KDE desktop. [02:43] Dr_Willis: heres the guide i used that everyone else says worked beutifully for them: http://wiki.cchtml.com/index.php/Ubuntu_Precise_Installation_Guide [02:44] Dr_Willis: I followed it verbatum and had no luck. [02:45] i have exactly 1 ati based system.. and its not even been powered on - in months.. [02:45] it was just a bargin bin clearance sale slim desktop i got for the kids. :) [02:46] I just did a fresh install of 64-bit Ubuntu 13.04 from a USB stick on my 2 TB hard drive and it won't boot. I had created a 490 GB parition for root ("/"), a 10 GB parition for swap area. [02:46] Hi, I' [02:46] I installed 13.04 and I'm getting strange graphical glitches occasionally.. Random parts of gnome shell interface are black [02:46] overlord, That HD first in the bios to be read? [02:47] wilee-nilee: that is the only HD on my system now [02:47] trakowski77, when you open the overlay is the background just all black? if so you need to disable nautilus managing desktop icons it glitches out gnome-shell for some reason [02:47] overlord, Any other OS's? === Guest79237 is now known as Termana [02:48] trakowski77, there's an option in gnome-tweak-tool to enable/disable it [02:48] wilee-nilee: no. an unparitioned 1.35 TB of space, that's it [02:48] bwat47: let me check that [02:48] What package do I need to install GNOME (I want to try all the different evirments out :D) [02:48] Mac_Write, sudo apt-get install gnome-shell should do it [02:49] overlord, you might try the bootrepair tool, it will generate a bootinfo summary save the url or just runit and post it. [02:50] !grub [02:50] GRUB2 is the default Ubuntu boot manager. Lost GRUB after installing Windows? See https://help.ubuntu.com/community/RestoreGrub - For more information and troubleshooting for GRUB2 please refer to https://help.ubuntu.com/community/Grub2 [02:50] bwat47: that did not fix it.. [02:50] now if only I could install KDE and GNOME on Darwin :( [02:50] wilee-nilee: ok, be back soon.. [02:50] Darwin has been my Unix of choice since October 5, 200 [02:50] bwat47: maybe my problem is not that exacty [02:50] bwat47: let me get you a screen shot [02:50] trakowski77, possibly, did you try restarting the shell after? [02:50] yes, mutliple times [02:50] Mac_Write: that's quite a long time ago [02:51] bwat47: I've seen the problem on 3 different machines [02:51] Mac_Write, install a virtual machne on os-x and run linux in it [02:51] bwat47: 2 of them upgrades, 1 of them clean install [02:51] Mac_Write, or install some X server, and just do X forwarding [02:51] Yuo been using Darwin with Aqua Desktop Envirtment for 13 years [02:51] bwat47: the only thing in common between them is that all have chrome installed [02:51] I am running Parells [02:52] bwat47: and that means they all have libudev0 [02:52] I'm not sure if that could be causing this [02:54] i see synaptic keeps a history of package changes, but only those done through synaptic itself. Is there a log that includes all changes made by apt-get, synaptic and usc? [02:55] can anyone suggest a vnc server alternative. i have x11vnc. - and im about to throw something across the room [02:55] makara, /var/log/dpkg.log [02:55] makara, .bash_history in home [02:56] wilee-nilee: I am having a little issue. I normally install netinst with debian and my system has a gigabit network: 00:19.0 Ethernet controller: Intel Corporation 82577LM Gigabit Network Connection (rev 06) and 03:00.0 Network controller: Intel Corporation Centrino Ultimate-N 6300 (rev 35) [02:56] wilee-nilee: http://paste.ubuntu.com/5637386/ [02:56] I downloaded the firmware drivers from the intel site and it works [02:57] wilee-nilee: it is asking for the following firmware versions: iwlwifi-6000-6.ucode or iwlwifi-6000-5.ucode [02:58] wilee-nilee: in the intel iwlwifi site there is not yet a version with that number [02:58] wilee-nilee: only 6000-4.ucode [02:58] jair, Not sure to be honest. [02:58] um.. [02:58] derp? [02:58] is this a kernel question, check with the kernel ubuntu 13.04 is using? [02:59] my audio just stopped and rebooting fixed it [02:59] I am sad to have to run the installation using the network wired only when with debian I can do it wirelessly after loading the driver [02:59] Hello friends [02:59] hi [02:59] hello roasted [03:00] 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] hmmmm [03:00] overlord, THe mbr still has the windows bootloader run the basic fix in the bootrepair. [03:00] it's probably corrupt [03:00] 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 [03:01] wilee-nilee: hnnm i noticed [03:01] 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] a new mp4 every 60 seconds? [03:02] loganlee: yes [03:02] dats abit fast [03:02] 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 [03:03] roasted, probably corrupted for the minute [03:03] the file is not corrupted.... [03:04] you can never really tell [03:04] post one of the files online for other users to test in their totem player perhaps? i never really use totem [03:04] 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 '&' [03:05] unless you know the danm'd hashes [03:05] for EVERY POSSIBLE mp4 EVER [03:05] Dr_willis: sure, one second. [03:06] A new MP4 for each minute 0.o [03:06] Isn't that a little...extensive? [03:06] 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] seems a little over kill. ;) [03:07] Dr_willis, Everyone has their own tinfoil hats, lol. [03:07] I'm failing to see why a new MP4 every minute is a difficult concept to grasp. [03:07] roasted, "MINUTE" [03:07] The cameras do 247 recording. That's their job. [03:08] 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 [03:09] 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] Greetings! [03:09] Dr_willis: http://skynetcore.zapto.org/public/video/ [03:10] !uefi | overlord Just more info. [03:10] 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 [03:11] 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] 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. [03:12] 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] uefi and gpt are used together in MS W8 installs though [03:12] overlord: don't confuse gpt and uefi - they're VERY different things. [03:12] true [03:13] zykotick9: a'right. i shall find out more about it after a restart.. [03:14] This is the problem I was refering to earlier, in 13.04, with chunks of UI being black: https://dl.dropboxusercontent.com/u/58835341/black%20area.png [03:15] I've seen it on 3 different machines, 2 upgrades, and one fresh install.

[03:20] play on linux [03:20] play framework? [03:20] hum4n1c1d3, Like wine for windows apps. [03:21] hum4n1c1d3: sox play? [03:21] which is java based web app framework which uses schema ? [03:21] is working right, but when I quit playing, my desktop changes its resolution [03:21] hum4n1c1d3: ummm what is the context? [03:22] the context? [03:22] More information please! [03:22] hum4n1c1d3, http://www.playonlinux.com/en/ [03:22] hum4n1c1d3: well yes, the context as in I had no idea what you were talking about until wilee-nilee posted that link [03:23] hum4n1c1d3: juts using the word play by itself can mean several things [03:23] s/juts/just/ [03:23] phix: it's a wine interface to play *.exe games [03:23] or something like that xD [03:23] 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] hum4n1c1d3: yes, I read the site :) === codepal_ is now known as codepal [03:24] I'm NOT using the propietary drivers, by the way. [03:24] hum4n1c1d3: remember that some games have been ported to linux, and there is now a linux version of steam available [03:24] oic [03:25] portal for linux steam - is aparently in the works. ;) [03:25] phix: my problem is with the screen :( [03:25] hum4n1c1d3: what's wrong with the screen? [03:25] What issues are your experiencing? [03:25] bwat47, thanks [03:26] wilee-nilee: the boot-repair worked. booted on my system now. although the boot took a little longer than expected. could it be as it was the first time boot ? [03:26] just the res change? [03:26] what video card is in your computer? [03:26] when I exit of the game, the desktop changes it's resolution [03:26] yup [03:26] AMD / AIT, NVIDIA? [03:26] hum4n1c1d3, ive had to make up scripts in the past to make up for wine not closeing/restoreing the res properly. [03:26] my video card is a ATI HD 6970 [03:27] the xrandr tools should be able to set the res back to normal [03:27] Dr_willis: interesting :D [03:27] hum4n1c1d3: hmmmmm, have you tried the propritary drivers? [03:27] not really seen the issue in ages.. but i dont wine much any more [03:27] phix: yes, I tried with both [03:28] It seems as if some MP4's work with Totem, but not all. I wonder what I'm missing... [03:28] hey does anyone know how to get dvdfab to run well with wine. Keeps crashing before I can even start the suckker up [03:28] hum4n1c1d3: hmmmm, and it happens with all games or one? [03:29] phix: well I tried with only one game until now (this is a fresh installation of ubuntu 13) [03:29] 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] Dr_willis: no idea, I don't have windows here. [03:29] Dr_willis: that mp4 plays fine in smplayer and vlc for me... [03:29] Dr_willis: I assume you downloaded the full clip and tried locally? [03:29] oh is 13.04 out now? I haven't even tried that yet [03:30] i just installed ubuntu , restarted after installation and i get only purple screen, how could i fix that? [03:30] roasted, file says yours is using the 3gpp codec. my mp4 files dont mention that. [03:30] the game runs in 542x420 phix (I guess) [03:30] I wonder why that is. [03:31] Dr_willis: how could you tell [03:31] roasted, i used the 'file' command on the files. ;) [03:31] it gives a bit of info [03:31] good tip :) [03:31] 3gp as far as i know is commonly used on Cellphones. === jono is now known as Guest46625 [03:32] ok the avidemux in ubuntu store is outdated. How can I update to 2.6. avidemux is a very important tool for me [03:32] !text | DemoOn or a nomodeset at grub [03:32] DemoOn or a nomodeset at grub: To start your system in text-only mode append 'text' (without the quotes) to the kernel line in the grub menu. You can access the grub menu by pressing Esc (Grub legacy) or Shift (Grub2) during boot. For more info see https://help.ubuntu.com/community/BootOptions#Text%20Mode [03:32] was their ever any good solution to the launcher and top panel showing up over fullscreen programs? [03:32] phix: don't worry, is almost the same ubuntu than 12.10 [03:32] michael87, use the source, or find a ppa. [03:32] Dr_willis: you're right. The MP4 that worked for me doesn't mention that codec. [03:32] (i.e. make it so they do not) [03:33] 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] roasted, ive been converting mpg's to mp4 all day. ;) [03:33] thanks for the awesome insight. [03:33] michael87, what ubuntu vesion you using? [03:33] (my english sucks :$) [03:34] 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 [03:34] neytiri, and your desktop system dosent even have a battery eh? [03:34] and before anyone asks its a desktop not a laptop [03:35] the only batter on my desktop mobo is the cmos battery [03:35] sounds like some odd apci/apic/apm issue [03:35] agreed, but how do i fix it [03:37] cool feature, apt-get remove x apt-get install x does not replace etc file [03:37] giraffe: use purge option if u want to delete conf files too [03:37] i want it back [03:38] I just installed Ubuntu at the recommendation of a friend. The problem is that now I don't know where everything I had on my computer before I installed Ubuntu is and how do I get it all back? [03:39] how did you install it, Rosemary_ [03:39] Rosemary_, What was there before the install and can you run in the ubuntu terminal sudo fdisk -l and pastebin it. [03:39] -l is a small L [03:39] hope you guys are really good friends [03:40] 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 [03:41] phix: I have a partial solution to my problem [03:41] I installed it from Ubuntu. I want my homepage, bookmarks, files, and everything I had [03:41] 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 [03:42] keep using the free drivers, then reboot and everything back to normal :D [03:42] dr.willis, also I love the hot corners feature. Again nummerious features 7 didn't have that are innovative and brilliant [03:43] asdasd [03:43] wangchong: taipodong-2 [03:44] I don't know about the terminal that you spoke of [03:44] hopesotoo [03:44] Rosemary_, ctrl-alt-t will bring it up or the windows key and type terminal. === Ownix_ is now known as Ownix [03:45] une unity panel and launcher will not go away when I launch a fullscreen WINE app, any solution sknown for this besides the compiz "legacy fullscreen workaround" which I cant seem to get to work.

But it keeps crashing before I can get anywhere with it. please help [03:47] michael87: isnt cross over for games? [03:47] So I'm trying to change my default video player from Totem to SMPlayer and Ubuntu is absolutely ignoring the fact I'm selecting SMPlayer as an option. :/ [03:48] so... [03:48] 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] it's only good for running games prob'ly [03:49] michael87, Do you have a windows license perchance?

[03:52] wilee-nilee, I have a desktop running windows 7. I'm enjoyying linux on my laptop. Why you think ubuntu will brick it? [03:53] michael87, No, just that backups will save you a lot if hassle if something goes wrong. [03:53] or some setup so you are set. [03:54] how can i access software sources? [03:54] wilee-nilee, true that. Been there done that with backups. I spent almost 2 years playying around with linux before sayying hey, just to be different, I'll put it on my new laptop. 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 [03:55] DemoOn, What release are you running? [03:55] 12.04 [03:56] michael87, hot corners? [03:56] kernel 3.9 [03:56] DemoOn, It can be reached from the ubuntu software center preferences [03:57] wilee-nilee: i don't see such option there [03:57] edit-software sources [03:58] DemoOn, ^^ [03:58] tgm4883, yeah its a feature I enabled on raring. kde has it and I'm sure many others too. You enable it using unity tweak choose a corner, lower your mouse into that corner, then bam you see all your windows and programs opened all at ONCE [03:58] michael87, ah nice [03:59] wilee-nilee: wheres that? sry im so dumb,i can't find anything on this new layout [03:59] tgm4883, it is fantastic. emidiately I was hooked on it. I'm closing and opening windows and programs neard the speed of light here lol [04:00] DemoOn, hit the windows key and type ubuntu software center, go to the edit tab and click software sources [04:01] wilee-nilee: theres no edit tab :O [04:01] DemoOn, You have the ubuntu softwrae sources open? [04:01] center* [04:02] y [04:02] all software, installed, history i see [04:02] hellooo there [04:03] ?? [04:03] Welcome [04:03] thanx [04:03] 很多中过人在用Ubuntu [04:04] 中国人。 [04:04] phix: solution: Install allegro :D [04:04] DemoOn, Top left corner. http://imagebin.org/256640 [04:04] !cn | winjeg [04:04] winjeg: 如欲獲得中文的協助,請輸入 /join #ubuntu-cn 或 /join #ubuntu-tw [04:04] hello codepal... [04:04] No, thanks. [04:05] wilee-nilee: ah it's top top left, and i was looking on tab, ty [04:06] can u have horizontal unity bar? instead of vertical one [04:07] loganlee, not really. You can use a diffent dock at the bottom if you wanted one. Like cairo-dock [04:07] oic [04:07] !dock [04:07] Ubuntu includes several dock-like navigation bars. Some options are: avant-window-navigator, cairo-dock, docky (formerly part of gnome-do), stalonetray, simdock, kdocker, kooldock. === codepal_ is now known as codepal [04:10] hello, so I decided to run software updater, then it said that it can do a 'partial upgrade' why is that? [04:10] some packages are being held back perhaps. [04:11] if you do a 'sudo apt-get update' then 'sudo apt-get dist-upgrade' it may force them all to upgrade [04:11] wilee nilee when I get in the terminal what do I do [04:11] @ Dr_willis what about aptitude? [04:11] should I run sudo aptitude update and sudo aptitude dist-upgrade? [04:12] i never use aptitude [04:12] hm [04:12] okay, thanks for the info [04:12] aptitude has had issues in the recent past.. [04:12] rosemary_, What we are trying to do here is get details. Such as what OS was on the computer before the ubuntu install. the sudo fdisk -l command is just going to show the partitions there now. YOU sais you installed ubuntu from ubuntu that is confusing, di you mean from a booted cd/usb? [04:12] not sure if it still does or not. Ive never needed it [04:13] bbl [04:14] aptitude was on old versions of Ubuntu, right?/ [04:14] find the kind of distro you're using and run as root # aptitude update & # aptitude safe-upgrade [04:15] can someone please help me with iptable rules? i am completly stuck :/ [04:15] winjeg, aptitude is an app manager. [04:15] the check the version...$ cat /etc/debian_version [04:15] I knew,,,,,,,,,,thanks... [04:16] I downloaded to a CD and then in stalled it. I had windows 7. Is that what you mean? [04:17] what do you mean then ? [04:17] @rosemary [04:19] I just told terminal to install avidemux 2.6 after setting up 12.04 sources. Now its installing all the 12.04 tringers several programs, the whole shebang. I hope my computer won't wig out after this. I just wanted to install avidemux [04:19] rosemary_, Yes, If you run in that terminal sudo update-grub do you see windows? [04:19] running 13.04 rarring ringtail [04:20] rosemary_,Do you expect windows to still be there? [04:20] apt-get autoremove [04:20] grub is too slow for me, but it is powerful......... [04:21] grub2 [04:21] winjeg, You are not making sense and just posting off topic. [04:22] it is asking for password, but won't let me type anything [04:23] rosemary_, The password does not show, it is the user password. [04:23] I'm so confused. i set Ubuntu to run along side windows [04:24] hello everyone !! i installed propritary driver(fglrx) but now i m not getting GUI after reboot i replaced X11 folder with my backup screen stops at "checking battery state" [04:25] 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] band=and sorry [04:27] so what do i put in next [04:27] rosemary_, If you ran sudo update-grub did you see a windows notation. [04:30] rosemary_, you are looking for this Found Windows 7 (loader) [04:32] after I put in sudo update-grub and clicked enter it brought up {sudo} password for rosemary: that is all [04:32] rosemary_, YOU then enter your user password it will not show though then hit enter. [04:33] ok [04:33] rosemary_, sudo means you are running as a super user a password is always needed with kit. [04:33] it* [04:35] does it want the password i used in windows [04:36] rosemary_, No the one you put in for you when you installed ubuntu, windows and ubuntu are separate operating systems. [04:37] /lib/ld-linux.so.3: No such file or directory any idea? [04:38] ok it brought up windows what do i do now === [2]hmms is now known as hmms [04:39] rosemary_, You can now reboot if you lioke and a menu will show that gives you the choice of ubuntu first then windows, whichever you choose you will boot to. Ubuntu does not automatically save the stuff you thought was missing they are still in windows. [04:41] How do i move it all over to Ubun tu === Fudgey is now known as Fudge [04:43] 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. [04:44] I was using firefox [04:45] Hi all [04:45] 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. [04:46] whatever bookmark you add to either FF will show in the other if synced. [04:46] THANK YOU SO VERY MUCH!! === friendoflinux is now known as shape [04:46] rosemary_, No problem, ubuntu can be confusing at first. ;) [04:47] or just a different operating system all in all. [04:48] I am having a real rough time with my intel graphics since the upgrade... At least I assume its my intel driver. For one, unity is flickering, and some windows arent displaying properly. For another, youtube is freezing constantly [04:48] This was not happening on 12.10 [04:48] any ideas as to what I can do? [04:49] I have to stop working, i just found out that Debiaqn 7 is out... [04:49] Owners ThinkPads here? [04:49] yes [04:49] Debian 7 [04:49] ignatenkobrain: I own a thinkpad tablet, x60 [04:49] I think I am losing my mind, I've spent over 6 hours trying to get Windows to start with grub. I cloned my dual boot Windows and Ubuntu hard drive with clonezilla. Partition by partition. After that I tried starting the now brand-new cloned drive, and I had to reinstall grub. Ubuntu loads fine but windows doesn't. I have spent as i said 6 hours to try to get it to work but with no avail I... [04:49] ...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. :( [04:50] Akiva-Mobile, Upgrades can have problems, so without details it is difficult to say. [04:50] wilee-nilee: Well it also happened to me in my fresh install [04:50] so I think this is a regression of sorts. [04:50] Akiva-Mobile, what intel card? I had no such issues with my hd4000 in 13.04 [04:51] Akiva-Mobile, backlight regulate normally ? [04:51] shape, Did you clone the windows boot partition, and did you put windows in a extended partition? [04:51] bwat47: Intel® 945GM x86/MMX/SSE2 [04:51] ignatenkobrain: Yes, i believe so. I turn off the option to automatically darken screen [04:52] ignatenkobrain: Why, what is your issue? [04:52] 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] Akiva-Mobile, Regression in kernel on recent ThinkPads.. Kernel from launchpad BZ not working [04:53] shape, Have you run the bootrepair tool and generated a bootinfo summary? [04:53] ignatenkobrain: Thats a shame. I think thinkpads are the best hardware out there. [04:53] ignatenkobrain, add acpi_osi="!Windows 2012" to your /etc/default/grub [04:54] 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] ignatenkobrain, on the GRUB_CMDLINE_LINUX_DEFAULT= line [04:54] wilee-nilee: so the whole problem is fixing the windows boot and then grub can easily take over [04:54] bwat47, in my X230 not work=( [04:54] 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] shape, Post the bootinfo summary url [04:56] if you had wiped the partion of windows , I think it is hopless , if not, you may run grub-installl /dev/yourdisk [04:56] ignatenkobrain, darn, unlucky then :( that one seems to fix it for most ppl with thinkpads [04:56] 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] can anyone help me figure out why my webcam isnt working for video chat [04:56] wilee-nilee: from boot-repair? [04:56] it works on cheese [04:56] britt_, xorg-edgers ppa maybe? [04:57] shape, yes run it again just the bootinfo summary. [04:57] britt_, beware, thats bleeding edge stuff [04:57] bwat47: thank you, I don't mind the bleeding edge. I kind of need it to install the proper drivers for my hardware [04:58] 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] shape, Yes, I will be here ou can run it in the ubuntu install, if you can get in. [04:59] bwat47, i tested kernel with patch from kernel bz..nothing changes. [04:59] shape, Sounds like you didn't clone the windows boot partition, no biggie that can be fixed if this is the case. [04:59] 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] can anyone help me with a webcam issue on xubuntu [05:00] jdawgx, Only if you outline the problem, if someone can they will answer. ;) [05:01] well it works with cheese but not online [05:01] 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] jdawgx: get a better web browser [05:02] is* [05:02] what do you recomend? [05:02] flash plugin ?> [05:02] jdawgx: like chromium or firefox [05:02] jdawgx: did you install flash? [05:02] i use firefox [05:02] yeh [05:02] bwat47, you have thinkpad? [05:02] i believe i have the flash 11 installed [05:03] jdawgx: u need flash plugin for ur browser [05:03] jdawgx: like loganlee says, sometimes it works beter with google-chrome [05:03] 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] 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] shape, cool [05:03] ok how do i do flash player for the browser, with the browser menu or through synaptic [05:04] is linux lite alot like ubuntu? [05:04] you needn't reinstall windows [05:04] really. [05:04] shape: or you can single install ubuntu :p [05:04] Hi, can some one help me out, I am doing partition on my ubuntu with 2TB hard disk [05:04] * wilee-nilee slaps the peanut gallery, lol [05:04] !info flashplugin-installer | jdawgx [05:04] jdawgx: flashplugin-installer (source: flashplugin-nonfree): Adobe Flash Player plugin installer.

Version 4.1.1-1 (raring), package size 1436 kB, installed size 3507 kB [05:44] I am running 13.04 [05:44] it does not detect the finger print reader [05:44] shape, Sure but you have a rather complex setup that any number of problems could be found. 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] lotuspsychje: any clue? [05:44] Is there any alternate/text only installer for 13.04? [05:44] Hello.. Bought a laptop with windows 8 and cannot get it to boot my Ubuntu 13.04 dvd.... any ideas how to fix this? [05:44] I see one for 12 but not 13 [05:45] kaushal: did you install a software for finger reading? [05:45] wilee-nilee: You said No at that time primary will not run fast or nothing like that ? [05:45] lotuspsychje: yeah [05:45] kaushal: wich one? [05:45] tonius: have you tried setting DVD drive as boot priority ? [05:45] lotuspsychje: which one is recommended [05:46] tonius change boot order in bios [05:46] wilee-nilee: isnt Boot files: /bootmgr << this the windows bootloader? (Boot files: /bootmgr /Boot/BCD /Windows/System32/winload.exe) [05:46] lotuspsychje: fingerprint-gui [05:46] Aaruni: Oh yeah.. I mean it tried to boot the DVD.. but it just sits at a black screen.. Is this because of Windows 8 secure boot? [05:46] penos: ive selected it to boot from the DVD but it just wont boot it. Tried multiple discs.. [05:46] kaushal: im not sure mate, i dont use such...did you check additional drivers? [05:46] oic [05:47] Has anybody had problems with HP laptops, windows 8 and the secure boot? [05:47] shape, What I meant was the sda mbr has no windows bootloader, I would load it from a recovery or install disc to see if windows boots from the sda being read. [05:47] tonius: did you disable secure boot in bios? [05:47] shape,If it boots then you can just reload grub there. [05:47] lotuspsychje: have not didnt know it was possible [05:48] wilee-nilee: I've already tried that and it hasn't worked :( === ubuntu is now known as Guest58555 [05:48] purvesh, :Primary or a logical in a extended should have the same speed as far as I know. [05:48] hello [05:48] wilee-nilee: even rebuilt bcd, even manually, etc. [05:48] lotuspsychje; gonna go look for this option [05:48] tonius: if i had a w8 machine i would try a single ubuntu setup on it to see.. === Guest58555 is now known as kuruba [05:49] shape, Sounds like a bad clone then if windows was fine before. I have used clonezilla 100's of times with no problems. [05:50] shape, Did you resize windows from outside its partitioner? [05:50] wilee-nilee: yes [05:50] wilee-nilee: it went from 32GB (source) to 60GB clone [05:50] wilee-nilee: so different partition table for the bootloader [05:50] shape, Ah, the front of the partition perhaps? [05:51] wilee-nilee: no idea, yeah the front [05:52] 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] how can i upgrade 11.04 to 12.04 [05:52] as far as I know anyway. [05:52] !eol | Svi [05:52] 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 [05:53] Svi: you need to first to 10.010 then go for 12.04 [05:53] 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? [05:54] 10.10 or 11.10 === codepal_ is now known as codepal [05:54] savio: I think you mistyped 11.10, mate [05:54] How do I mount a CD/DVD via the command line (Parallels need to install paralels rtools) [05:54] can u install ubuntu on microsoft surface rt? [05:55] 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] Mac_Write: the last time I tried to install parallels tools, I just clicked on it, and it auto-mounted [05:55] Aaruni: yup i'm on my android new to this touchscreen interface :) [05:55] 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] but when I click on the install it opens in a text editor [05:56] Mac_Write: I think you need to navigate to it using command line, and install it using ./ [05:56] shape, Mainly moving the front of the windows partition is the problem. [05:56] Svi: so, that's 11.10 [05:56] tabsterleir: is it touchscreen? [05:56] 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? [05:57] tabsterleir: I guess there will be no problem [05:57] Indeed it is lotus [05:57] Aaruni I know, but I don't know where to find it via command line [05:57] Svi, The eol link tells you how to upgrade, I would not bother honestly a fresh install is a better idea. [05:57] 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] tabsterleir: ubuntu desktop wont be able to support touch i think (correct me if im wrong) [05:58] tabsterleir: don't worry you will be fine [05:58] would it be better to install fresh 12.04 rather than upgrade [05:58] Mac_Write: it is usually /media/ , 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] Excellent! I shall place my order now! :) Thankyou all [05:58] tabsterleir: you will need ubuntu touch for tablet features #ubuntu-touch [05:59] 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] *restore [05:59] i assume many apps will crash when upgraded to 12.04 [05:59] 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] thanks Aaruni , i will go for a fresh install [06:00] Svi: before upgrading disable PPA on your system [06:00] Svi: no prob. [06:00] the mbr move should boot the ubuntu and windows then. [06:00] 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] savio: he's going for a fresh install. [06:01] shape, Modern HD's leave that open space. [06:01] it is the way the nodes are counted [06:01] wilee-nilee: what brand of ssd you run ubuntu on? [06:02] hold on [06:02] 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?

[07:46] Computron_: No, this is not a Norwegian channel. English or nothing. [07:46] Senor, you just sort of said you were using just a kernel in bochs. so what package manager is it using IN the emulator? thats how you would install gcc in the emulator. [07:46] IIRC, there was a terminal command which could measure the pureness, or openness of your system.. what is it ? [07:47] I am running Ubuntu 13.04 and have an HDTV connected to my ATI Radeon 4350 GPU. But there is no option to choose HDMI audio instead of "Speaker Out". Please help!! [07:47] gustav u speak no? [07:47] Dr_willis :through host [07:47] Computron_: SE. I can understand NO. [07:47] Senor, it wouldent work that way as far as i know. [07:47] I went here http://askubuntu.com/questions/201839/no-choice-for-hdmi-audio-output and I was wondering if it is okay to install proprietary drivers?? [07:47] ok [07:48] Dr_willis:Does not cross compiler do in this way ? [07:48] Computron_: But that's just me, if you ask your question here in English, someone might be able to help you. I'm not really an expert. [07:48] A1Recon: Are you in pavucontrol? [07:48] Senor, not that i know of.. gcc has options to do cross compilation for differnt archs and stuff. no need for messing with emulators [07:48] i no know [07:49] gustav: No [07:49] lol [07:49] I'm kind of incompatible since I don't use Unity which is the most common. [07:49] hat [07:49] Snakker noen norske? [07:49] I just installed wheezy gnome 3 is just as hard as unity. [07:50] Computron_: /join #ubuntu-no [07:50] Dr_willis : I mean I can custom my install dir for emulator filesystem [07:50] Dr_willis: its filesystem is mounted at host ,is not it? [07:51] Senor, i dont use bosch so dont know how you are using it. I tend to use vbox. [07:51] Senor: maybe you should ask in ##linux [07:52] ok , thank you all :) [07:53] can some1 pm who knows arm assembler i need litle help [07:53] !arm | DemoOn [07:53] DemoOn: ARM is a specific (RISC) processor architecture used in a variety of applications such as handhelds and networkdevices.

[08:48] aside from wine, does ubuntu/linux itself get driver updates? [08:48] yes ofc [08:48] Captain_Crow1: Yeah, lots of drivers.

[09:02] llutz : http://paste.ubuntu.com/5637961/ [09:02] tgcid: if the version is in repos: apt-get install foo:1.2-3 [09:03] cassien, have you compiled the driver downloaded from realtek? [09:03] tgcid: but most likely its not (only most recent versions are) [09:03] The packages I needed were [09:04] varunendra: yes but it returns that rt5390sta.ko doesn't exist [09:04] (i'm new on ubuntu by the way) [09:05] 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] 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] Other than installing them one by one with foo=1.2.3 [09:06] cassien, try toggling it on using the hardware switch on your computer. Do you know where it is? [09:07] 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] varunendra, but how can I switch on the card? I've a button F12 but the light is always orange and not white. When I go into the bios, nothing change.... [09:08] ciao [09:09] 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. [09:10] ever tryied....without results [09:10] 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] Even resetting BIOS? cassien [09:10] varunendra, I'm gonna try to reset bios. [09:10] I'm coming back to say to you what it returns [09:11] ok [09:11] thanks [09:12] so as more studios support linux it will get more games? [09:14] Captain_Crow1, yeap, it is a vicious loop but Steam is helping a lot breaking it [09:17] h [09:21] verunendra, i'm back and unfortunatly it doesn't work [09:22] bekks: Running 12.04 32 bit.

I am trying to compile some stuff and I am getting "file name too long" for autogenerated files. Ubuntu 13.04, ext4fs. I used OpenSuse (ext4 too) before that and the same project compiled successfully on it. So it is definitely not problem of ext4 upper limit [11:37] what is going on? [11:38] maybe I should tune ext4 mount parameters somehow? [11:39] Inoki, just certain websites or all ? [11:39] 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. [11:40] aha, it seems the problem is in encryption of /home [11:40] im currently using the r8168 Realtek RTL-8168 Gigabit Ethernet Driver. I recently upgraded to 13.04 and I need to block the 8169 module from being loaded. I used to use the sh script that came with the realtek driver from thier website but it fails to run on 13.04, I have googled and tried several ways to do this, any suggestions on how to block 8169 and get 8168 to loaad with the new linux kernel?

I haven't found it in the repository [12:27] can u be specific on the error u get [12:27] jerry_: installing and maintaining a software from repos is easy and always advisable. however you can untar the archieve and there should be a README or INSTALL file that should mention how to install the package. [12:28] when I install via PXE, I need to manually tweak the network settings in the installed system before it will use DHCP. How can I get Ubuntu to use DHCP after PXE install without fiddling about? [12:28] try to untar. tar -xvf source.tar [12:28] then cd into the directory to see the contents..

Ans the touch dont work anymore. can someone help? [12:29] the readme inside is not very clear to me. As for the error, when running ./configure the last line says: "configure: error: libexpat not found" [12:29] there should be some instructions about the installation. jerry_ [12:30] what is the package name? jfe [12:30] jerry_: ^ [12:32] in the Install instructions: "You will need glib/gtk-1.2.10, and libexpat, Also wxWindows-2.4.0 or greater, linked against glib/gtk-1.2.10 is needed [12:32] do I have to search for them and install them before?

[12:34] fego: the package name: lmule-1.3.1.tar.gz [12:35] yes that is exactly the pain when you install the software from source tarballs. there is no package manager for you to resolve the dependency. you need to install the dependencies manually/ [12:36] 13:35 < jerry_> in the Install instructions: "You will need glib/gtk-1.2.10, [12:36] jerry_: forget it [12:36] where do I find the dependencies ?

[12:52] mhr: or you have a typo [12:53] mhr: which file is present?

[12:53] it's telling you what's wrong [12:53] Pici, thing is, it is already installing, and asked this during installation. I can only run update after the installation at this moment. === Guest93288 is now known as kuruba [12:54] gordonjcp, yes, but the file is present there [12:54] mhr: xz? [12:54] yes [12:54] no, it's not, otherwise it would be working [12:54] mhr: you haven't got xz [12:54] that's what the error message is saying [12:54] gordonjcp, i got the full file name after pressing the tab key [12:55] mhr: no, you haven't got xz [12:55] I have an intel graphic driver, but I have 64 bit.

[12:58] ezra-s: No. [12:58] mhr: if you are using 10.04 please consider upgrading, desktop support ends on the 9th [12:58] ezra-s: Just another flavour of compression. [12:58] jpds, why is it so spread all of the sudden, do you know? [12:58] ezra-s: It pays to be popular? [12:59] gordonjcp, do you mean I will have to install xz support [12:59] ezra-s: better compression [12:59] jpds, I don't know, I recently noticed it in many places [12:59] mhr: yes [12:59] mhr, it is installed by default in ubuntu afaik [12:59] 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. [13:00] ezra-s, if its so why am i getting error while trying to extract it [13:00] jpds, hehehe, I figured as much, just that it surprised me seeing kernel.org using it now [13:00] mhr, try with xz command instead of tar first [13:00] the right click --> extract is also does not work [13:01] mhr, Have you confirmed that xz is actually installed? [13:01] adamk_++ [13:01] 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. [13:02] 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] 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. [13:03] mhr, must have? tar probably uses xz if installed and if not... then it wont [13:03] mhr, The tar command supports tar files. That's it. For compression, it uses external programs. [13:03] virtualbox is unstable on ubuntu 13.04 [13:03] duckstep, not in my case [13:03] duckstep, Works fine here. [13:03] :o) [13:03] did you guys have trouble and resolve it? [13:03] I did not have any trouble at all. [13:04] If I have intel and it's 64 bit, do I install ubuntu 32 or 64?

[13:06] thank you all [13:06] has anyone succeeded in using pci-passthrough with kvm on the latest ubuntu? I'd like to dedicate a gpu to a windows guest for better gaming exp [13:06] mhr, glad you fixed it ;) [13:07] AtuM, I have seen ppl say theyve done it [13:07] compdoc, do you know it they used vfio-pci? [13:08] 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] there's almost no documentation on using vfio with kvm.. virsh sure doesn't know anything about it [13:11] 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-.xkm [13:12] wtf is that .xkm file and who generates it? [13:12] just discovered this great page with tutorials : http://www.ur1.ca/dppx1 [13:13] BACbKA, apt-file can help you determine that [13:13] BACbKA, or packages.ubuntu.com [13:14] 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 [13:15] BACbKA, but probably some precompiled package uses them, I'd better try to find which and why [13:16] thanks to Aurora, who's given me the video link yesterday [13:16] 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] ezra-s: nope, they're generated by xorg on startup or whenever setxkbmap installs one [13:16] oki [13:19] 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] "it still shows" -> "the log still shows" [13:20] * ezra-s lols [13:20] omg, I have a nagging suspicion [13:20] BACbKA, maybe there is an xorg.conf option you can tweak [13:21] How can I colour-calibrate my monitor in Ubuntu? [13:21] 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] y [13:21] ezra-s on 13.04 unlike 12.04 I don't even see an xorg.conf, just an xorg.conf.failsafe [13:21] and its only an mp3 radio stream [13:22] BACbKA, yes, xorg.conf is not necessary ot get X working but.. you can create it and add specific configuration... [13:22] ezra-s: but it is the very same XKB option I already witness as loaded from the Xorg.0.log [13:23] BACbKA, it's not my fault :P [13:23] ezra-s: could it be there is a client-side keyboard setting configuration cached somewhere in gconf? [13:23] BACbKA, no clue, really :( [13:23] ezra-s: :-) [13:24] 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" :( [13:25] BACbKA, I bet that's when gconf kicks in [13:26] How can I colour-calibrate my monitor in Ubuntu? [13:26] ezra-s yes, makes sense... but doesn't the gnome terminal pull that one in as well? [13:26] ... [13:27] ezra-s: yes, I do see both gnome-terminal and gconfd running [13:27] 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 [13:28] ezra-s thanks, looking [13:28] ezra-s *sigh* nothing new there :( === francisco is now known as Guest75684 [13:29] :( [13:29] How can I colour-calibrate my monitor in Ubuntu?

When I try to boot in rescue mode it hangs at "loading initial ram disk". === jhenke is now known as jhenke_ [14:06] avey: how was ubuntu installed? [14:07] hi there [14:07] clean install from usbdrive [14:07] ok [14:07] odd. [14:07] I don't have much experience w/ win8, sorry. [14:07] :( [14:08] avey: I heard of problems caused by W8 Quick Start functionality, so be sure to completely shut down W8 before booting to Ubuntu, just as an idea... [14:08] np. never had that problem before :( and it worked fine since release [14:08] ubuntuaddicted: does that tell you anything? [14:08] Ferruck: okay I disabled it recently. Hmm odd. Maybe switch it back on and shutdown? [14:09] As a first idea for resurrect your ubuntu... =9 [14:09] okay I'll try. [14:13] I am having a conflict with Java and I am not sure where. This happened once before, and I had to remove something, but I do not recall what. I am hoping for some guidance here. When I go to a site that requires Java in FireFox (screenr.com) It says Java is not detected, even though I installed it. [14:13] Ferruck: Hey guess what?! it worked! weird... [14:13] I also have IcedTea installed as well, do these 2 conflict? [14:13] Ferruck: thanks for the hint [14:13] avey: never touch a running... and so on =) [14:14] Ferruck: rightright I'll keep it in mind or do not run windows at all [14:14] somsip: yes... just wondering how that might happen [14:14] somsip: java memory leak? [14:14] avey: that'll be the best of course... =) [14:15] i have a public certficate and private key pair that my colleague is calling a ssl certificate, /join openssl === Reedy_ is now known as Reedy [14:17] i do not understand ssl and tls where to go to get goo info? === jhenke_ is now known as jhenke|away === jhenke|away is now known as jhenke [14:18] I got a new computer, everything new except the hard drives, how do I get my sound back? === _BJFreeman is now known as BJfreeman [14:19] WXZ, Pastebin the output of 'aplay -l' [14:20] adamk_: http://pastebin.com/uFnMWqaD [14:21] WXZ, And please do the same with the output of 'lsmod | grep snd' [14:22] adamk_: http://pastebin.com/cKdmfzk1 [14:23] I installed a program that was a tar.gz. what is the CLI for removing that program? [14:23] bjrohan: read the documentation. The answer is "it depends" [14:23] ok [14:24] WXZ, Honestly not sure what is going on... The lshw output you posted above shows that you have HDA output on the motherboard, and HDA output attached to your video card/GPU. lsmod shows that snd_hda_intel is loaded, yet aplay only lists the HDA output on the video card. [14:24] bjrohan: if you used "make install", sometimes there is "make uninstall" [14:24] WXZ, Maybe something interesting will show up in the output of 'dmesg'. Can you pastebin that too? [14:24] Here is what I did jrib: tar zxvf jre-7u21-linux-x64.tar.gz [14:24] bjrohan: then just delete the files you extracted [14:25] adamk_: all of it? [14:25] jrib: It put them all in one diretory, just uninstall that dir then? [14:25] bjrohan: sure [14:25] thanks [14:26] adamk_: http://pastebin.com/jxLxFE2K === zenix`away is now known as zenix` [14:27] WXZ, Sorry, I don't see anything in there that would explain this problem. Hopefully someone else here can chime in. Alternatively, you could try asking in the alsa channel. [14:28] alsa channel? [14:29] WXZ, Yes, the alsa channel. You are currently in the Ubuntu IRC channel, but there is also an IRC channel for the alsa drivers and sound system called, not surprisingly, #alsa [14:29] ok, thanks adamk_ I'll do that [14:31] guys I have old toshiba laptop Pentium MMX, with 32MB RAM, which version of ubuntu should i try to install ? [14:32] I doubt 32MB of RAM is enough to run any current OS [14:33] maybe you could load thekernel into 32MB and run everything else from swap? [14:33] hmm not sure how to do that [14:34] ubuntu is hard to install ? [14:34] easy [14:34] i tried 2 different versions on 2 laptops [14:34] both failed [14:34] whats the failure? [14:34] I got into Busybox command line [14:34] very frustrating [14:34] u want to know what it said ? [14:34] 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 [14:34] ill try to reboot again from the live cd [14:35] hi [14:35] Eremes, the live cd works ok? [14:35] compdoc: not working === phschwartz_ is now known as phschwartz [14:36] tinycore or some 486- puppy - linuxes might work [14:36] i tried the cd on other PC and its worked [14:36] Eremes: none of the current Ubuntus will work on that [14:37] Eremes: what you are looking for is something that supports i586 processors [14:37] *not* i686 [14:37] any eta on ubuntu server 13.04 ami? [14:37] gordonjcp: dont get me wrong [14:37] gordonjcp: im trying to install it on newer laptop [14:38] Eremes: so what's the 32M Pentium got to do with it? [14:38] gordonjcp: i undestand that its impossible to work on pentium mmx 32mb ram , so i tried with different laptop. and this is what i got [14:38] wait still booting on my centrino laptop [14:38] hmmm [14:39] now after i see Ubuntu logo [14:39] does anyone know how to modify the XBMC startup script so it runs in windowed mode? [14:39] 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] I got into Busybox v1.13.3 [14:39] not sure what Busybox is [14:39] initramfs mount: mounting /dev/loop0 on //filesystem.sqashfs failed: Input/output error [14:39] i got that kind of messages [14:40] can not mount /dev/loop0 [14:40] i thought ubuntu is user friendly ?? [14:40] Sounds like your computer had a hard time reading from the CD. [14:40] Just because you had a problem, does not mean it's not user friendly. [14:40] Is this current? https://help.ubuntu.com/community/OpenLDAPServer [14:40] It mentions a slapd.conf file that ubuntu doesn't use anymore [14:40] Eremes: what's not "user friendly" about a clear and descriptive error message? [14:41] Eremes: Sounds like you have a bad DVD. [14:41] gordonjcp: well ive tried to install it for hours [14:41] first I download the 12.04 version. burned it. and run it [14:41] and it failed to install [14:41] some POE something [14:41] then I tried the 10.04 [14:41] still can't [14:41] Eremes: Please don't flood; use http://paste.ubuntu.com to paste; don't use Enter as punctuation. [14:42] Eremes: what a pity, shame there's no way of knowing what went wrong [14:42] And did you ever check the md5sum's of the downloaded images? [14:42] Eremes: oh wait, there are usually some messages [14:42] adamk_ : i tested the live CD on my personal PC and it worked fine [14:43] That didn't answer the question. [14:43] Eremes: http://www.freedos.org/ [14:43] adamk_ : no, i did not test the md5sum [14:43] adamk_ : but im pretty sure its normal [14:44] This kernel requires the following features not present on the CPU: pae [14:44] unable to boot - please use a kernel appropriate for your cpu [14:44] Well that seems pretty clear... [14:44] thats what i got when i tried to install v12.04 [14:45] v10.04 = initramfs mount: mounting /dev/loop0 on //filesystem.sqashfs failed: Input/output error [14:45] now im downloading v9.04 [14:45] do the LTS releases get the latest firefox as well ? [14:45] won't work neither [14:45] 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] 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? [14:46] lsusb ? [14:46] hi, ppl! [14:46] lsusb doesn't show me anything useful. Also nothing in dmesg or other logs under /var/logs [14:46] Jordan_U: how do access the boot menu integrity check option ? [14:46] can I use TP-LINK TL-WN722NC without magic? [14:47] please which application can i use in ubuntu to extract IPD backup file of blackberry [14:47] Eremes: Press any key while the little "keyboard = accessibility" icons are at the bottom of the screen. [14:48] Jordan_U: ok thanks, ill try [14:48] Hey, is it possible to install the core apps on unity-next installed on 13.04?? [14:49] 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. [14:51] Very odd. I think that suspend messed up this Ubuntu box's ability to see new USB devices. Rebooting solved the problem. [14:54] hey everyone i have 3 firefox profiles which on the desktop i set custom icons....whenver i drag these to the laucher i get question marks instead of the icons [14:54] any ideas on how to fix this [14:54] hello [14:55] how can i prevent address spoofing on my network [14:56] eziob elaborate the problem [14:57] eziob: Ideally you should use authentication that uses encryption and doesn't depend on ip addresses. [14:57] i have a server running on 123(example), and i assign dhcp hosts 10-20 [14:57] Jordan_U, oh i will be [14:57] but if i assigned myself 123 [14:57] as an attacker [14:58] basically i want hosts in the range of 10-20 to only get an internet gateway [14:58] good day , i have a question is it possible to upgrade from 12.10 to 13.04 ? [14:58] 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). === micjan02 is now known as janisozaur [14:59] accesslist [14:59] !upgrade | LinuxNewbish [14:59] LinuxNewbish: For upgrading, see the instructions at https://help.ubuntu.com/community/UpgradeNotes - see also http://www.ubuntu.com/desktop/get-ubuntu/upgrade [14:59] thanks jrib ^^ [14:59] Jordan_U, yes but i'm going to layer my security not depend on one single failable point of security [14:59] I am having issues with loading java content on the internet. I believe I have successfully removed all Java from my system. What is the best way to reinstall java that I need? An example is using screenr.com [15:00] eziob: Is this network connected to by ethernet or wirless? === matanya_ is now known as matanya [15:00] hosts in the range of 10-20 will be wireless [15:00] which is why i don't want them to be able to know the rest of the network [15:01] eziob: Unless your routers or switches are running ubuntu, I think #networking is a better place for this discussion. [15:01] eziob noway to do so, i'm a CCNA [15:01] 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] any ideas on how to fix this [15:02] pijush, nice, i'm a cissp [15:02] eziob: and of course no-one would ever think of sniffing for your MAC and spoofing it [15:02] hey everyone i have 3 firefox profiles which on the desktop i set custom icons....whenver i drag these to the laucher i get question marks instead of the icons [15:02] gordonjcp, i'm a cissp ... [15:02] great [15:02] eziob: and that means what, exactly? [15:02] gordonjcp, that's exactly what i'm expecting to happen [15:02] well, if you're so paranoid about it, don't use wireless [15:03] yes [15:03] gordonjcp, https://www.isc2.org/cissp/Default.aspx [15:03] eziob: what's that link? [15:03] cissp propaganda [15:03] eziob: okay [15:03] eziob: and what's a cissp? [15:04] https://www.isc2.org/cissp/Default.aspx [15:04] eziob: I'm not hitting random links over a slow connection [15:04] certified information systems security professional [15:04] hmm [15:05] eziob create a separate vlan [15:05] pijush, that's an idea === Jikan is now known as Jikai [15:11] Hey, is it possible to install the core apps on unity-next installed on 13.04?? [15:12] Hello, iam trying to install php5-gd but i an error like this: http://paste.ubuntu.com/5638791/ Is there a problem with the ubuntu mirrors? [15:13] i can't even run apt-get update [15:15] hmm it actually works from another server on the same net === houser is now known as diverdude [15:18] Hello, iam trying to install php5-gd but i an error like this: http://paste.ubuntu.com/5638791/ Is there a problem with the ubuntu mirrors? [15:19] diverdude, maybe with that mirror, try change it and try again? [15:19] diverdude: it means the hostnames couldnt be resolved [15:20] xatr0z_, i also cannot do a apt-get update [15:20] 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] diverdude: which DNS server are you using (cat /etc/resolv.conf) and is it working? [15:20] maybe try another nameserver temporily, 8.8.8.8 should always work [15:20] xatr0z_, but i am connected to the server via ssh over port 43567, so the network is working ok === DarkAce-Z is now known as DarkAceZ [15:21] diverdude: if that is the case try to type host us.archive.ubuntu.com in an terminal [15:21] it should give you the correct IP address if DNS is working okay [15:21] please any body knows an application i can use to extract IPD files in ubuntu [15:22] im away now [15:22] is it possible to update huawei 3G modem firmware? [15:22] abdel: what's an IPD file? [15:22] its used to backup blackberry [15:22] xatr0z_, could look like a dns problem [15:22] when back up ur black berry its in IPD format [15:22] abdel, try unp [15:22] xatr0z_, where do i change dns server? [15:23] abdel: what is "ur"? [15:23] so i want to extract the content of my blackberry [15:23] ur means your [15:24] oh, why not just say that then? [15:24] xatr0z_, ahhh fixed now [15:24] how do i update 3G modem firmware [15:24] so any idea on the application i can use to extract my blackberry backups [15:25] abdel: have you tried google? "extract blackberry ipd linux" might be a good place to start [15:25] abdel, unp , it extracts almost any compressed file ...I already posted the suggestion but you didn't acknowledge [15:26] blueskaj: but how do i run unp from terminal...that it has to be run from terminal [15:26] whats the coommand to run the unp [15:26] any help updating 3G modem firmware [15:26] unp /pathtofile [15:27] abdel,^ [15:27] i did unp /pathofile [15:28] but its gave me errors [15:28] halo any with an idea of updating 3G modem firmware? [15:28] vic__, try ##hardware [15:28] abdel, the actual file path [15:29] bazhang: what is ##hardware [15:29] vic__, its a channel for hardware [15:29] ok [15:31] exit [15:31] quit [15:32] is there a better channel than #ubuntu to ask about installing with PXE? [15:38] hi all :) i have a lot of modules for a lot of old kernels. how can i safely remove some of the oldest kernels? [15:39] gordonjcp, is this relevant ? https://help.ubuntu.com/community/DisklessUbuntuHowto [15:39] Does anyone know if juju jitsu has a way to specify more than one particular machine to deploy multiple service units? [15:39] For instance, I have ceph-mon deployed on three machines, but I want to deploy ceph-osd on the same three machines. As far as I can see, with jitsu I can only specify ONE machine for a particular service. I would like to do something like add-unit and add in the other two machines. [15:40] BluesKaj: not really [15:40] hdon, have you tried: sudo apt-get autoremove ? [15:40] 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] compdoc, i just realized i could use apt. but no i haven't tried autoremove, i will :) [15:41] gordonjcp, are you using networkmanager ? [15:41] hdon, thats works for kernels and packages added through apt, but not sure if it works for kernels you installed manually [15:41] compdoc, fwiw autoremove did not elect to remove any kernels [15:41] BluesKaj: on the installed machines, yes [15:44] any app for open chat in ubuntu [15:44] can any one suggest me ' [15:44] what is "open chat?" [15:44] udhayaraj, i use xchat for IRC (we're on IRC now) [15:44] package name is xchat2 iirc [15:45] Hello, does anyone know of a fix for the unity launcher and top panel showing on top of fullscreen programs? [15:45] I have tried the "legacy fullscreen workaround" in compiz, no luck. [15:45] @hdon m asking like yahoo messenger chat [15:46] udhayaraj, ah, i use pidgin [15:46] udhayaraj, there's also kopete [15:46] gordonjcp, so you need to set up a manual interfaces file and a /etc/resolvconf/resolv.conf.d/base which contains the nameservers and gateway for the server [15:46] i tried it but cant able to get into it dude hdon === Jikai is now known as Jikan [15:50] i tried unp /home/talk which is my path file but it failed to read it [15:51] hey folks need help with Ubuntu === ubuntu is now known as Guest97501 [15:51] Guest97501: How specific! === Guest97501 is now known as reggie [15:52] I have ubuntu running in live cd mode on a win8 laptop and for some reason ntfs 3g can't mount the OS partition can anyone help [15:52] Corey, [15:52] it's me guest.... [15:52] exited with non-zero exit status 14: Windows is hibernated, refused to mount. [15:53] reggie, windows 8 has a hybrid shutdown for fast starts. [15:54] hey wilee-nilee [15:54] well the issue is I'm unable to boot into windows at the moment, was trying to pull critical files to reformat drive === Jikan is now known as Jikai [15:54] 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. [15:55] any ideas wilee-nilee [15:55] BluesKaj: no, I don't need to do that [15:56] reggie, Here is a link, I have W8 but a dualboot and no hybrid shutdowns. http://www.online-tech-tips.com/windows-8/perform-a-complete-shutdown-in-windows-8/ [15:56] BluesKaj: because I'm not doing that for every machine that gets installed [15:56] BluesKaj: what I need is to find out what is causing the installer to bork the network config when I use PXE [15:56] wilee-nilee, the issue is that windows 8 won't boot at all [15:57] reggie, Have you installed ubuntu? [15:57] no running it in live CD mode [15:57] it's a company laptop installing Ubuntu is against policy [15:58] reggie, I would check with the ##windows channel to see what they say, you have to be registered to use that channel. [15:59] humm ok thanks wilee-nilee was trying to avoid doing that since I'm an avid Ubuntu user [16:06] 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] its not the old f8 thang [16:07] 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] it doesn't seem to auto mount the drive. [16:08] gnat_x: Why not use an ecryptfs encrypted home directory? [16:08] gnat_x: make sure you back up regularly, too [16:09] wilee-nilee, thanks I will give it a look [16:09] gordonjcp: indeed. that part is done. [16:09] gnat_x: if *anything* happens to the encrypted partition, everything is gone [16:11] gordonjcp: oh i know. i'm just confused because my general strategy involves full disk encryption. [16:11] so the mixed and matched stuff is a bit weird to me. [16:11] gnat_x: and I hope you back that up to something unencrypted too [16:14] gordonjcp: nope. i back it up to a different encrypted disk. which has worked well for data recovery in the past. [16:14] brave [16:14] indeed. [16:14] i've been happy with it thus far. [16:14] * gordonjcp wouldn't touch disk encryption with a stolen 10-foot pole [16:15] i've been happy with it thus far. and have been doing it for five years or more. [16:15] I tried it but it totally crippled the disk performance [16:15] disks are slow enough without making them 5% worse [16:16] never benchmarked it, but its worked usably on my aging thinkpad. [16:16] Question - I am unable to play certain MP4s (3GPP) in Totem. I downloaded an example video from Apple's site and it worked fine, and according to terminal (file video.mp4 to get basic info) it's using the same codec as my video - yet mine does not work whereas the example does. SMplayer and VLC work fine, however. [16:18] exit [16:19] I'm using 13.04. How do I give feedback about a specific feature- namely, the dash? [16:19] How should I fix this error? http://pastebin.com/eN7kjfqb (regarding lxc-create ) [16:22] If my ram fills up over 2GB, conky shows me that im using 0 ram. Sami with total up/download [16:23] I am using ubuntu 12.04 and every time I try to download virtualbox it is telling me to insert my ubuntu disc, I have removed it from the repository list as well [16:24] servvs: done a sudo apt-get update since you changed the list? [16:24] yeah, I fixed it now, there was another checkbox I had to uncheck in synaptic [16:28] Has anybody had issues with choosing a different default video player in 13.04? Each time I select VLC, or SMPlayer as default, it simply ignores the change and Totem stays in place. [16:28] hmm. [16:28] !defaults [16:28] cant say ive seen anyone else mention the issue roasted. [16:28] I got so frustrated I wiped my mimeapps.list file. The system re-generated a new one without issue, but it also re-generated the same errors all over again. [16:29] im on lubuntu however. [16:29] i need to reboot to my ubuntu box and update it and see if things have been fixed on it.. havent used it in like 3 weeks. === optimus-afk is now known as optimusprimem === vibhav_ is now known as vibhav === vibhav is now known as Guest8215 === Guest8215 is now known as vibhav [16:32] Dr_Willis: I wonder if the /usr/share/applications/defaults.list could be conflicting with my .local/share/applications/mimeapps.list file... [16:32] hi guys i got 2 problems [16:32] 1st of all which is rather annoying unity has stoped workign on my main user account [16:33] btu works okay in guest account [16:33] well ish [16:33] where's the ideal place to install software that will be accessible to all users? e.g. sublime text [16:34] and kernel 3.8.0-19 seem to be stuck in vesa video mode [16:34] nvidia optimus based system with bumble be and nvidia 319 [16:34] and my unity on kernel 3.5 is kinda doublign up slightly [16:34] ill post a screen shot [16:35] 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? [16:36] 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] 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] Bower^: for things not from the repos. put them in /opt/ is common [16:36] 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] Bower^: or /usr/local [16:36] Dr_Willis, any idea on my video option on latest kernel [16:37] I dont have any experience with Optimus systems [16:37] Dr_Willis: thank you [16:37] i dont think optimus is the problem [16:37] i complete stripped all nvidia at one pooiint to test and thats when my unity problem cropped up [16:37] my nvidia cards are like 2 yrs old. ; they give me no issues at all.

[16:38] I want to create steam shortcut on desktop [16:38] and my desktop is set to be handled by nautilus file manager [16:39] bhavesh: you make/find the .desktop file for the menu item and copy it to your Desktop directory [16:39] is there a command to tell banshee and rhythmbox to use alsa instead of jack server? [16:40] ie: cp $(locate gedit.desktop) ~/Desktop [16:40] I think... [16:40] Dr_Willis, how do i check the ownership of untiy configs for my main user account [16:40] Nubby: ls -al and see if anything is owned by root. or somone other then your user. [16:40] hi, i upgraded from 12.10 to 13.04 and now every once in while i get logout of xsession after i have logged in for about minute. any ideas why this is happening? [16:40] Nubby: or use a file manager ;) like mc or somthing that makes seeing the permissions easy [16:40] is there a way to tell banshee and rhythmbox to use alsa instead of jack server? [16:41] 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) [16:42] 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 [16:43] Who reads my Paste? [16:43] Nubby: you did look IN all the config dirs like .config ? [16:43] not as of let [16:43] ppcblaster: give a sumamry of the issue, and a pastebin url of the error messages and if anyone is here that knows about the stuff they may look at it. [16:43] 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? [16:44] Bower^: no idea. I dont use sublime. could be you need to cd to its directory then run it from there, [16:44] Sublime seens to be a very very quirky program from what ive seen asked about it in here. [16:45] Dr_Willis, everythiung looks nromal config wise [16:45] although i do have a couple of xsession erro files [16:45] 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* [16:46] 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] i foudn an error in a file in .compiz/sessions in xssession errors [16:46] i may dletee the sesion files [16:46] any ideas how i can fix this this dmesg? xfce4-session[29788]: segfault at ffffffff00000000 ip 00007fa433ae2f7f sp 00007fffcbe02570 error 5 in libglib-2.0.so.0.3600.0[7fa433a7f000+f9000] [16:47] 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] Kartagis: you should have used /dev/sdc and /dev/sdb [16:47] if you wanted to copy the boot sector info [16:48] brb [16:48] Dr_Willis: first USB drive has 2 partitions and I wanted to clone 1 of them [16:48] Kartagis: then you need to setup the boot loader by hand then i imagine. [16:48] Dr_Willis: I'll get rid of the partition number in of [16:48] is there a way with ACL to make all new files in a directory belong to a specific user (not group) (building on the response to my earlier question) (tried suid/sgid that only covers the group) [16:50] Dr_Willis: what if I use dd if=/dev/sdc1 of=/dev/sdb conv=nofunc? [16:50] Kartagis: that wont copy over the bootrecord from sdc1 to sdb.. and that Might really confuse things [16:50] Kartagis, What s the bootloader?

[16:59] jerry_: sudo apt-cache search [16:59] I don't understand [16:59] Dr_Willis: I'm finding that if I install SMPlayer and set that as default, once I do that, I cannot set anything else as default. 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.

[17:14] Thanks [17:14] point out that some one is OT is OT [17:15] roasted: you need to right mouse an avi or mp3/properties and choose vlc or some [17:15] I'm looking for a stablerelease to work with, now I'm using Ubuntu 12.04 but getting some old packages. Use ppa's instead? [17:15] lotuspsychje: I did. It won't stick. [17:15] lotuspsychje: once I do that and try it again, it defaults back to totem each and every single time. [17:15] lotuspsychje: I also set up a fresh 13.04 VM to test and it does the same exact thing, 100%. [17:15] roasted: did you click totem/forget application? [17:16] is ubuntu server actually just the ubuntu-base system comparable to what debian calls a base system [17:16] forget application... no I never saw that. [17:16] i am used to of debian terminology [17:16] click on totem in properties list [17:16] so actually i am looking for an image that has the base system [17:16] lotuspsychje: OH! You mean reset? [17:17] ? [17:17] 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] how can i watch videos in the cli? [17:18] turtleGlass: mplayer has a console mode, and a ascii-out option [17:18] 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] roasted: no just right mouse totem in that list/forget app [17:18] turtleGlass: mplayer, or vlc-nox. [17:18] lotuspsychje: in what list. I don't see forget app anywhere. [17:18] ascii-out? [17:19] turtleGlass: It can render each frame as ascii art. Yes, really. [17:19] you dont say? [17:19] roasted: you see totem as default player in properties of an mp3? [17:19] why isn't there a 32bit version of ubuntu server listed on the download page ? [17:19] and you get subtitles on top of that? [17:19] turtleGlass: subtitles? no. [17:19] 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] lol [17:19] apm1: http://releases.ubuntu.com [17:19] nvm just found it [17:20] roasted: right mouse totem on list of mp4 properties then [17:20] vishnu [17:20] brb [17:21] lotuspsychje: again, I'm doing that.

[17:25] np ill just full up the dumpster with it [17:26] ive given away all my old CRT monitors in the last year. [17:26] Back breakers. and desk space stealers. ;) [17:26] I gave away a bunch of old CRT TVs and monitors [17:26] im glad some one is wealthy enghoug to do that [17:26] now I need a CRT TV [17:26] :-/ [17:26] Ok. Now what have i to do to mount USB flash drives and hard disks automatically? In these cases how do i edit fstab file since x varies as in sdx [17:27] wwwdotcom: mount them based on UUID or Label [17:27] !uuid [17:27] 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] roasted: http://tinypic.com/view.php?pic=1zdyq2a&s=5 [17:27] Oh thanks [17:27] Dr_Willis, got untiy fixed yay now my ownly problem is the buggy kernel [17:28] Does UUID of flash drives stay constant all the time? [17:28] Does it change upon formatting?

He was helping me and succeeded with his efforts as my issue is now resolved. [17:33] I think I might have someone coming into my network carrying a dhcp server. I installed the dhcp-probe package, but having a little roughness around running it. Anyone have any advice? [17:34] X is displaying unreadble and fuzzie screens [17:35] turtleGlass: Then create a modeline for your CRT. [17:35] can you help me? [17:35] ok [17:35] blakes: did you read manpages for the package? [17:35] great anser [17:36] hi- i have encrypted disk, and when I "ls" it freezes should the folder have too many files. solution? [17:36] i tryed turning off the monitor and back again with no siccess [17:36] Nah... who needs man pages ;-) of course. I was hoping to find an admin who had my same trouble and could offer some of the finer points [17:37] turtleGlass: That wont help- [17:37] thats just what iv said [17:37] blakes: well can you tell us what excatly doesnt work? [17:38] it didnt succeed [17:38] 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] turtleGlass: Because turning it off an on again will never help in configuring your X server with a modeline. === DarkAceZ is now known as tnodah [17:38] roasted: for some silly reason, g-c-c chooses smplayer as the default because of this, definitely a bug [17:39] roasted: if I remove those three associations from the smplayer.desktop file, it works correctly again [17:39] what will? [17:39] trism: when I apt-get remove --purge smplayer, I duplicate the same findings with totem vs VLC... === tnodah is now known as DarkAceZ [17:39] turtleGlass: Configure your X server to use a modeline. [17:39] sweet [17:39] 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] turtleGlass: and tell it to ignore edid info, or override them [17:39] roasted: it is likely the same issue there, different mimetypes between them in the .desktops [17:39] trism: wonder what I should file the bug against. Thoughts? [17:40] 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] roasted: would file it against gnome-control-center to start with [17:40] im taling it right noe but i dont thing its listning or maybe the mic is off [17:40] trism: GCC is what's used in 13.04? [17:40] roasted: it might need a better way to figure out the default [17:40] turtleGlass: you have the pirated version then [17:40] =) [17:41] 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] try ENhance command [17:41] ubuntu black edition? [17:41] 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] blakes: well im not really a network expert here, maybe ##networking might know? [17:41] usually the pirat version work the best [17:41] lotuspsychje: thanks [17:41] 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 [17:42] trism: I'm glad somebody else took the time to try this out. I'm reporting the bug now against GCC. [17:42] roasted: if you file a bug, poke me with the bug number, I'd be interested in subscribing [17:42] trism: I'll link it to you in a few moments when it's complete so you can hit the "yeah me too" button.

There is a workaround (i think) but I don't want to risk killing my install :( [17:59] Hi, I'm trying to get sound to my headphones [17:59] hi guys , i installed ubunu 13.04 on my pc and from laptop with aptoncd i made an iso file of deb archive ! now in my pc i installed aptoncd and hal packages but load button dosent work in restore session , how can i create a local repository for my deb depot ? FYI i dont have internet connection in pc so i have to use deb archive of laptop , please help :( [17:59] josePHPagonda: well, it can be a good way [18:00] ubuntu a distro to kill linux [18:00] Make a backup [18:00] how do I find out which driver packages I need for my onboard audio? [18:00] And a list of all programs installed [18:00] It used to work last week, but I unplugged them to hear sound without headphones. Now, I've plugged them back, it doesn't work. How do I need to setup alsamixer for headphones (and headphones only) ? [18:00] arno_: try going to a doctor [18:00] turtleGlass: ? [18:00] !behelpful | turtleGlass [18:00] turtleGlass: As our !guidelines say, "When helping, be helpful". If you're not familiar with the issue at hand, let someone else handle it instead of making !offtopic comments or jokes. [18:00] turtleGlass: stop doing that [18:01] arno_: turtleGlass meant that you are deaf [18:01] are you msure theres nothing wrong with your ears ern? [18:01] thanks for the joke, but anyone got a more useful answer ? [18:02] kick people on the back if you cant help them out after making their computer unusable [18:02] arno_ You can go routing with Patchage [18:03] WXZ: did you check the additional drivers section? [18:04] lotuspsychje: where in synaptic is that? [18:04] hello guys i installed phpmyadmin and tried to start it and i ran in to a random message... http://pastebin.com/fHptteQQ [18:04] and it wont start does anyone have any idea what should i do? [18:05] WXZ: software centre/software sources/tab additional drivers [18:05] with gparted i have partinioned a new harddisk but now i can not copy files to it: permission denied. How can i change this? [18:05] tjingboem: did you run gparted as root? [18:05] Arkhana: I suppose there is a more easy way (I just worked last week). Does anyone knows how I'm supposed to setup alsamixer http://renevier.net/tmp/alsamixer.png ? [18:05] lotuspsychje: I'm still using lucid lynx [18:06] i have to run gparted as root - otherwise i can not partion it ? [18:06] im using ubuntu satanic edition [18:07] tjingboem, You trying to copy the files you are using? [18:07] turtleGlass: cool [18:07] i thought that, as root, i should be able to assign permissions to me. But no... [18:07] yes, i tried to copy files from my home to it [18:07] I also have a DVD of Satanic here [18:07] cool? [18:07] tjingboem, You need to use a live cd. [18:08] turtleglass: Yes, cool. I like the distro [18:08] And how can i assign me as a user, and not root? [18:08] tjingboem, gaorted run in root the copy paste is not. [18:08] gparted* [18:08] OMG satanic edition YaY! [18:08] Hi [18:09] Arkhana: the issue is that I use this machine for production work. :-/ [18:09] WXZ: http://www.howtogeek.com/howto/17495/how-to-add-proprietary-drivers-to-ubuntu-10.04/ [18:09] right wilee-nilee, i will try that. Thanks. [18:09] Empathy doesnt seem to any accounts I have created. Is it any good at all? [18:09] josePHPagoda: you mean hacking [18:09] for IM [18:10] Empathy doesnt seem *CONNECT* to any accounts I have created. Is it any good at all? [18:10] turtleGlass: I do some dev work, but most of my stuff is managerial, coordination, and artwork [18:10] ah no wilee-nilee, i remember: i used gparted from a live USB [18:10] petoo: I use thunderbird for most of my accounts [18:10] but now i can not copy files to it [18:10] yes ascii art eules [18:11] turtleGlass: ??? [18:11] tjingboem, What is it that you are actually doing, details please. [18:11] turtleGlass: you gonna get banned if you continue like this [18:12] * BluesKaj watches for OT security to move in :) [18:12] Maybe I have given you a wrong impression, I am here for making emapthy work for me. [18:12] how do i make ubuntu use my monitor? [18:12] i mean with windows not command com [18:12] turtleGlass: Configure a modeline for your X server. [18:12] turtleGlass, You plug the monitor into your video card. [18:12] lol [18:13] turtleGlass: Use a console based browser to access the article you've been given. [18:13] install an Xserver [18:13] LMAO [18:13] turtleGlass: choose to ignore the advice of people here, you're on your own [18:13] maybe mir will do the trick [18:13] Anyone? [18:13] right. With a live USB i used Gparted on that USB to create partitions on a new disk. And now when i am in Bodhi ( Ubuntu-like) i cannot copy files to it: permission denied [18:13] turtleGlass: It wont. The X server isnt responsible for configuring your CRT. [18:13] bekks: those browsers really pwn [18:13] ignore what? [18:13] And i cannot change permissions as root [18:14] petoo: for empathy, since it uses a lot of the same libs, it should work [18:14] what service specifically are you trying to connect to? [18:14] turtleGlass: If you dont like the answers, and instead keep on trolling: good luck. I am resting my case with you. [18:14] bekks: thats pretty obvius [18:14] facebook, gmail, irc - everything seems to have blocked. [18:14] i mean why should it [18:14] tjingboem: Is the partition mounted as read-only or read-write? [18:14] turtleGlass: I've not had any issues configuring graphics for years now. [18:14] It tries to connect to those services endlessly. [18:15] petoo: hmm... i've not seen that behavior before. :( I'm sorry that I can't be more helpful [18:15] good for you [18:15] Thanks. [18:15] turtleGlass: I wish I could be more helpful, but I've not had to dabble in any xconfig for quite some time. [18:16] the monitor seting are carefully hidden in a xml file [18:16] what are the specifics of your setup? === zomnbio is now known as zomnbio_mobile [18:16] tjingboem, Bodhi is not supported here. [18:16] josePHPagoda, don't think he cares about a desktop [18:16] XML? I wasn't aware that any x stuff was stored in XML. [18:16] who? [18:17] at least, I've never seen X stuff done in XML [18:17] josePHPagoda, X doesn't store anything in XML. The Desktop Environment might, which is probably what turtleGlass was trying to say. [18:17] josePHPagoda: you are obsolet [18:17] turtleGlass: what graphics chipset are you using? (lspci will tell you that) [18:17] it's possible that it doesn't support opengl, which could result in a broken DE [18:18] josePHPagoda: He is constantly refusing help. [18:18] turtleGlass: I wouldn't go that far, I just don't stay up to date on certain stuff. [18:18] wilee-nilee, i know. They were bot able to help me there. But Bodhi is based upon Ubuntu 12.04 [18:18] its support everthinbg except the monitor [18:18] 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. [18:19] but I doubt it's a monitor issue, unless the monitor doesn't report it's specs properly to X [18:19] it seems i have to force feed it some mode or something [18:19] (my TV did that) [18:19] ah, so that's quite similar to my TV from a few yrs ago. [18:19] its working fine in the cli [18:19] Specifying a mode can easily be done via xrandr or an xorg.conf file. [18:19] maybe its easy for you [18:20] hello [18:20] turtleGlass: I remember it being a pain. [18:20] suspend doesn't work since I upgraded to ubuntu 11.10 [18:20] But like I said, much has changed since then, so I don't know how much help I can be. [18:20] linux is stupid ass hell [18:21] turtleGlass: no reason for the foul language [18:21] linux is very user friendly. It is just very choosy about who its friends are [18:21] also, that won't help you move forward toward resolution. [18:21] thats whatr i tell my kids if you dont eat soup you have to use ubuntu [18:21] Create a modeline with cvt, and then create a /usr/share/X11/xorg.conf.d/monitors.conf file similar to this: http://pastebin.com/iQ3zH5PC [18:21] turtleGlass: you are welcome to use something else if you would like. [18:21] he doesn't want to go xorg.conf route [18:21] there are many distros [18:21] its the best way to keep them healthy [18:21] hay [18:22] the whole point is you have choice [18:22] Time for /ignore I think. [18:22] HIIII [18:22] it seems like that might be coming soon adamk_ [18:22] which is really unfortunate [18:22] can you hear me? [18:22] Hi Blacklite_ [18:22] oh good. [18:23] you guys were talking about distros? [18:23] !ot | Blacklite_ [18:23] Blacklite_: #ubuntu is the Ubuntu support channel, for all Ubuntu-related support questions. Please use #ubuntu-offtopic for other topics (though our !guidelines apply there too). Thanks! [18:23] Blacklite_: No, this channel is just for Ubuntu support [18:23] I was going to offer assistance.... [18:23] Blacklite_: I was encouraging turtleGlass to try other things if he's upset with Ubuntu for whatever reason. [18:23] the whole point is that choice is available. [18:24] Does he use KDE? [18:24] He's having a hard time with X and such. [18:24] 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] any ideas? [18:24] like the choice of shutdown +h now [18:24] santagada: you could try changing which version of driver you are using [18:24] turtleGlass: I don't think that would help you get closer to solving your problem. [18:24] history [18:24] sorry. [18:25] josePHPagoda: will try, do you know where the boot screen application stores its logs? [18:25] it would that and throuing this piece of crapp out the window [18:25] i don't I'm afraid. [18:25] 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] If you want to switch distros, and you want to use RPM's OpenSUSE is quite nice. in fact I'm using it now. [18:26] Blacklite_: Thats offtopic for this channe; [18:26] channel [18:26] I was offering a suggestion, there was someone that was dissatisfied with ubuntu. [18:26] turtleGlass: people might be able to give you recommendations in #ubuntu-offtopic [18:27] Blacklite_: You're welcome to do that in other channels, but its not something for this channel [18:27] fair enough [18:30] Did I just dream I saw a Screensaver setting in 13.04? [18:31] designbybeck_, There has not been a stock screensaver that runs for a couple of releases. [18:31] wilee-nilee: well I knew that much, just couldn't remember where I saw it recently....must have been another distro I was trying out [18:32] no need to disable screensaver anymore, it's no longer there === optimusprimem is now known as optimus-afk === eSeNek is now known as sn_ === sn_ is now known as eSeNek [18:35] in that case I guess my laptop is good to go for now MonkeyDust.... though 13.04 doesn't support this ATI Moblility HD 4000 series now though. HDMI video out did work, but there is no sound options [18:36] designbybeck_: my HDMI also stopped working on my nvidia card [18:36] :/ [18:36] ah...josePHP.... my video did output, not with 1080p but i did get it to see on the TV, just no audio [18:37] here it was full resolution [18:37] but no sound [18:38] designbybeck_: what about an audio out jack from lappy to hdmi TV? [18:38] yes betrayd that should still work [18:38] audio in? (only bec I've seen an accessory cnnectir like that) === jack is now known as Guest60862 [18:38] and we have done that on another setup, just I didn't have the audio cable to test my 13.04 with the tv this time... i just had the HDMI [18:41] josePHPagoda, intel audio ? [18:42] No, this would be the nvidia audio out via hdmi [18:44] hi all :) why this? E: Package 'libsdl1.2debian-pulseaudio' has no installation candidate [18:44] (or: how do i install SDL?) [18:45] and where is focus-follows-mouse? [18:46] hi [18:47] hello can you hear me? [18:47] hey people [18:47] yes :) [18:47] hey :) [18:47] what do you think about 13.04 ? [18:47] josePHPagoda, yes but the soundcard transfers the audio to your hdmi out thru the nvidia graphics card [18:48] I want to make simple file to wget app , change some files via nano and run it, how I can introduce wait time? say wait 1 min between commands [18:48] how can I know what is my git username and pass if I already created one? [18:48] elisa nice joke [18:48] :d [18:49] josePHPagoda, I had the same issue with intel audio on the mobo [18:49] look into your emails inbox [18:49] lol elisa is joker [18:49] and find the registration mal [18:49] poking fun at my question ::P [18:49] josePHPagoda, anyway for what's worth here's the patch , https://launchpad.net/~ubuntu-audio-dev/+archive/alsa-daily [18:49] you think so? [18:49] yes [18:49] :) [18:49] since my isp name is elisa :D [18:50] designbybeck_, the URL above might interest you as well [18:50] tahnks BluesKaj.... looking now [18:54] so yes how I can introduce wait 1 min into sh file? [18:54] :d [18:54] so it waits 1 min before going to next command [18:55] alex_fun: sleep [18:55] lol and for real? === Adran is now known as funkiller [18:55] alex_fun: Try "man sleep" [18:56] alex_fun: sleep 60 will wait for a minute [18:56] hey everyone i have 3 firefox profiles which on the desktop i set custom icons....whenver i drag these to the laucher i get question marks instead of the icons === funkiller is now known as Adran [19:00] I've got a wide open samba share, and I need to mount it locally (but still via samba) so that I can read and write just as folks elsewhere on the network do.

I was unable to play any sound via HDMI on ubuntu 13.04, the output on sound config only shows my lappy sound card [19:32] http://www.greenheartgames.com/ [19:32] oops sorry [19:35] ciao [19:35] Trying to share files between local users on same machine, only seems to be going one way [19:36] guys im using xrandr to set a DVI to primary, then doing xrandr --output DVI-0 --left-of VGA-0 to swap their positions [19:36] I made the second user have the same group as me === jack is now known as Guest9968 [19:36] When I apt-get install or anything else, does it always hit the same server? [19:37] Would it be better if that could be distributed somehow? [19:37] lmat: there should be a server rotation for your country [19:37] And then I created a folder that has read and write privileges for that group [19:37] k1l: Ah, okay. [19:37] When I create a folder or files, he has full access [19:38] netlar: (just reading your last three) is this what you expect? [19:38] But when he creates folders or files by default it is only access only for me [19:38] Is that right? [19:39] lmat: should go both ways right? [19:39] netlar: If the files he creates are assigned to the group, they should be accessible to everyone in the group. [19:39] netlar: Make sure to chown them to the group... [19:40] lmat: I made the whole folder that is shared have the same permissions [19:41] netlar: After the file creation? [19:41] lmat: no before the file creation [19:42] 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] hey everyone i have 3 firefox profiles on the desktop i set custom icons....whenver i drag these to the laucher i get question marks instead of the icons [19:42] lmat: that is how it is behaving [19:43] lmat: but when I create a folder or file on my side, he has full access to read write and delete [19:43] netlar: Can you see the files he has created? [19:44] yes [19:44] netlar: And their properties are something like -r--..... [19:44] Hi all. I connected an earphones and now sound is on the earphones and speakers. How to disable speakers? Lubuntu 12.04 [19:44] yes [19:44] netlar: is it -r--rw-... ? [19:45] BluesKaj: thanks [19:46] lmat: sorry it shows drwxr-xr-x [19:46] jesus tit [19:46] netlar: So that means (the first "r-x") that the group who owns the file cannot write to it. Is this what you expect? [19:47] I can't get sound working out of hdmi, any hints?? [19:47] found the answer to my problem [19:47] lmat: actually sure, if he creates file or even folder, he would need to explicitly give me permissions [19:48] http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Dx117ZEKK5M [19:48] need to create a laucnher first [19:48] Try this sangrias: aplay -D plughw:0,7 /usr/share/sounds/alsa/Front_Center.wav [19:48] sancris: newer kernels have hdmi sound turnt off by default [19:48] netlar: sure, or give the group permission to write. [19:48] lmat: But why when I create files on my side it will automatically give me full permissions? [19:48] jackw411, how do I turn it on then [19:48] 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] or does it matter [19:48] lmat: sorry not me, I mean him [19:49] netlar: (give *him* full permissions?) I'm not sure ^_^ [19:49] sancris: honestly, i have no idea how I got it going: theres a guide floating about somewhere on the net [19:49] I'm giving this cd to my friend and can't check whether it is a desktop / server [19:49] netlar: Perhaps you can run a test? Create two users and a group and proceed? [19:49] netlar: So when you "touch hey", then ls -al hey , you see -rw-rw-r-- ? [19:49] lmat: this is kind of a test, he does not do much on computer yet [19:49] jackw411, I found some info, but they require installtion of software, I want ubuntu to do it natively [19:49] sancris: http://askubuntu.com/questions/232226/how-to-edit-kernel-parameters [19:50] netlar: sure. [19:50] jackw411, thanks [19:50] lmat: not sure what you mean by "touch" [19:50] sancris obviously work out what it is you are trying to add to the kernel, and be very careful! [19:50] netlar: It's a command "touch hey" touches the file "hey". [19:50] netlar: If hey doesn't exist, it will be created as an empty file. [19:51] 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] jackw411, I will :p [19:51] netlar: Do you know what the -rw-rw-r-- means? [19:52] i think so, read write for me and user and read for other [19:52] sorry mean group [19:52] netlar: close :) [19:52] how do I run the s.m.a.r.t in ubuntu ? [19:52] 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] netlar: first triad = what the owner can do. [19:52] th0r: close :) [19:53] lmat: ok got it [19:53] im trying to access the system settings but its impossible with this new setup. [19:53] netlar: The second is what the group members can do. And the third is everyone else. [19:53] lmat: well did touch hey, and it gave rights of -rm-rw-r-- [19:53] 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] lmat: sorry canto type [19:53] nvm it wasn't installed [19:54] netlar: same :). And the group (in this case *my* group; same as my username) can rw, and everyone else can only read. [19:54] lmat: yes [19:54] netlar: But! What group is specified? [19:55] my group, which is also his main group [19:55] netlar: And when he does it, what group is specified? [19:55] netlar: (I think we're closing on the issue :) ) [19:55] lmat: let me go over to his side [19:55] netlar: I'm going to take a whack and guess... his group to which you don't have access? ^_^ [19:56] i literally do not have an xorg.conf [19:56] jackw411: Do you use an x server? [19:56] what should I grep to find it? [19:56] i have absolutely no idea lmat [19:56] jackw411: no grep :) [19:56] i use awesome window manager [19:56] jackw411: find / -name xorg.conf 2> /dev/null [19:56] jackw411: I use X and I don't have a file like that. [19:57] lmat that just run without any return? [19:57] 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] lmat: ok, so did it on his side, and it says -rw-r--r-- [19:57] jackw411: did so for me, too. [19:58] netlar: interesting, but which group!? [19:58] excuse me can some one help me ? [19:58] Jordan_U: so how do I configure my monitors then dude? [19:58] i can't seem to get s.m.a.r.t [19:58] lmat: it is in my group [19:58] I'm trying to see if my hard drive is going bad or is already. [19:58] i am having a issue with my system where most of my GUI isn't loading, (i have my desktop showing, i can open programs using a terminal) but everything else isn't loading, i am running 12.04 with the cinimon desktop enviroment [19:59] netlar: Interesting! [19:59] lmat: the shared group [19:59] netlar: How did it get to your group? He put it there explicitly? [19:59] netlar: BTW, you should use a third group (not yours or his). [19:59] lmat: I did all the grouping in the users and group utility [20:00] neytiri, what exactly isn't running? [20:00] 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). === Plinker_ is now known as Plinker [20:00] netlar: When user "A" is created, a group, "A", is also created and, by default, user A is in group A. [20:00] Jordan_U: i tried using xrandr a minute ago [20:00] netlar: This is the case for you, and your buddy. So you added your buddy to this group for you. [20:00] netlar: I think you should create a new group, C, and add you and your buddy to it. [20:00] lmat: yes I am in the same group as my user name [20:01] i have a dvi + a vga - vga smaller than the dvi. when i do xrandr --output X --right-of X [20:01] it doesn't keep track of their resolutions [20:01] and i end up with like a split screen mess [20:01] lmat: so put him back into his own group again? [20:01] lmat: and then add this new group to both of us? [20:02] how can I "get"? “unity” 7.0.0daily13.04.15-0ubuntu1 [20:02] netlar: You add users to groups, not groups to users :) [20:02] netlar: You should be in your own group, and the new group. He should be in his group and the new group. [20:02] Jordan_U: I've also done xrandr --output DVI-0 --primary [20:02] 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] do I need to dial in the resolutions somehow after setting left and right? [20:03] lmat: I cannot add a user to a group , other than in cli right? [20:03] netlar: I don't know, but cli is an excellent place to do it :) [20:04] netlar: I generally don't use gui. [20:05] lmat: so new to this, not very fluent in cli yet [20:05] netlar: :) Welcome home. [20:06] 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] is that true [20:06] Bray90820: nope :) [20:06] lmat: so once I add me and him to the new group, then what? [20:06] Bray90820: I think linux tends to go through battery power a bit quicker than the two big OSes. [20:07] netlar: When you want to share a file with the group, do chown :groupname filename [20:07] lmat: but it will not happen automatically [20:07] netlar: right. [20:07] it has something to do with damaging the hardware inside due to the silicone on the processor [20:07] netlar: touch hey && chown :groupname hey [20:08] lmat: that would not be a problem for me, but he will not be up to speed [20:08] hello [20:08] lmat: it has something to do with damaging the hardware inside due to the silicone on the processor [20:08] lmat: he is not a power user [20:08] so I installed the proprietary drivers for nvidia [20:08] netlar: create a script for him? [20:08] Bray90820, we're going to need some sort of source to backup that claim [20:08] and now my icons and my taskbar aren't showing up [20:08] Bray90820: wow, never heard of that :) [20:08] and the windows key doesn't do anything [20:08] lmat: so he can just run something to share it? [20:08] netlar: Sure... [20:09] so, basically, my system is hosed [20:09] Bray90820, i have instaled ubuntu on all of my mac hardware with no issue at all, no damage to the hardware either [20:09] netlar: Say all the shared files should be in /mnt/shared ...create a script like this: [20:09] Can that be put in the right click context menu? [20:09] can anyone help me out? [20:09] cd /mnt/shared && chown -R :groupname . [20:09] netlar: I assume so, but I don't know how (I don't really use GUI) [20:09] netlar: I think it would be easy to put this script on his desktop. [20:09] netlar: So he can double-click it. [20:09] lmat: he said that the tower macpro had it's own power management tho so it was ok to install it on that one [20:10] Bray90820: Be sure to ask him for a reference. [20:10] lmat: I understand, I just am trying to make this a normal computer for the family [20:10] tgm4883: i am trying to confirm or deny it in here [20:10] netlar: Ahh, good luck to you :) Your father is the other user? [20:10] lmat: no, my son, he is very lazy [20:10] neytiri: how long have you had ubuntu on them [20:10] Bray90820, as with all of my previous interactions with you, I can almost guarantee that you mis-understood/mis-read [20:10] netlar: Ahh, neato :) [20:11] since mac began selling hardware with intel processors [20:11] 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] lmat: want to add my wife too, but I know she will not understand any of it [20:11] platzhirsch, that isn't a repository [20:11] netlar: good luck! :) [20:12] 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] tgm4883: thought so, then what is? that for instance? https://launchpad.net/ubuntu/saucy/+source/unity [20:12] lmat: thanks for your patients [20:12] lmat: exactly [20:12] 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] platzhirsch saucy? isnt that a bit early? (6 months) [20:12] 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] platzhirsch, thats a link to a source package for 13.10, and has nothing to do with a repository [20:13] MonkeyDust: I need this one patch which fixes a bug [20:13] lmat: what icon? [20:13] platzhirsch how can you need something that isnt even in alfa yet? [20:13] netlar: I'm familiar with this on Windows... [20:13] netlar: Create a script (.sh) file and put it on his desktop. [20:13] MonkeyDust: the patch is also released for Raring [20:13] lmat: ok, then? [20:13] netlar: This script will chown the files in a particular directory correctly to share with you. [20:13] test [20:14] 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 [20:14] lmat: by just dragging the file on top of the script icon? [20:14] netlar: perhaps :) [20:14] netlar: Let me test for you :) [20:14] lmat: wow thanks [20:15] platzhirsch, not entirely sure what you want to do, but you probably want a PPA from https://launchpad.net/~ubuntu-unity [20:17] hi there all ...can someone assist me, please #1045 Cannot log in to the MySQL server phpmyadmin [20:19] okay can somebody help me please? I log in to a normal ubuntu 12.04 session and my displays work perfectly... i start an awesome wm session and my displays are fucked... whats different? [20:20] !ohmy | jackw411 [20:20] jackw411: Please remember that all Ubuntu IRC channels share the same attitude of providing friendly and polite interaction with all users of all ages and cultures. Basically, this means no foul language and no abuse towards others. [20:20] jackw411: keep the language clean, please. [20:20] tgm4883: sorry for the confusion. I am running Ubuntu 13.04 here and I have a problem with Unity, the bug seems to be fixed already (https://launchpad.net/ubuntu/+source/unity/7.0.0daily13.04.18~13.04-0ubuntu1) and I wanted to apply the fix, but maybe the fix is already part of the daily updates [20:20] okay can somebody help me please? I log in to a normal ubuntu 12.04 session and my displays work perfectly... i start an awesome wm session and my displays are fubar... whats different? === slargbot is now known as zlargbot [20:21] platzhirsch, unless it was removed, the fix should be in everything after that version [20:21] jackw411: awesome needs to be configured for multi-monitor setups... it's awesome at multimonitor though ;) [20:21] anyone know why only powerpc and power5 images are showing up here? http://cdimage.ubuntu.com/releases/raring/release/ I'd expect x86 and amd64 to be there [20:22] anyone can help about phpmyadmin, please? [20:22] netlar: looks like you can't drag a file onto a script in nautilus [20:22] netlar: :( [20:23] netlar: So, what I recommend until you can get that working is to have a directory where everything that he wants to share with you can sit. [20:23] #1045 Cannot log in to the MySQL server phpmyadmin [20:23] netlar: So you're planning on not making yourself sudo? [20:23] lmat: I am admin now [20:24] Hey guys, how do I check if my sound card does digital to analog conversion? [20:24] netlar: If you plan on being an admin, you can access any file using those credentials :) [20:24] hi my wifi button and brightness fn key are not recognized sinced a switched to 13.04 on dell m6700; any clue ? [20:24] sirriffsalot: How can it not!? [20:24] lmat: ahh that is true [20:24] sirriffsalot: If it ever plays a sound, it does DAC :) [20:24] lmat: good to know lol [20:24] sirriffsalot, I'm pretty sure all sound cards to digital to analog conversion ;P [20:24] sirriffsalot: It does this (usually) using a codec. [20:25] 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] lmat: so even i do not have permissions, I can give them to myself anyway [20:25] 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] sirriffsalot: The codec (a integrated circuit) takes in samples and converts to analog. [20:25] netlar: aye. run sudo chown :group filename [20:25] !cinnamon | neytiri [20:25] 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] lmat: hmm. cause I'm in a silly jam at the moment [20:25] lmat: So are you on Ubuntu? [20:25] netlar: (where group is the shared group) then the group will own the file. [20:25] sirriffsalot: so ask your *real* question then [20:26] netlar: YeS!! [20:26] TheLittleOne, what exactly does the attack look like [20:26] TheLittleOne, do you know which process it is? [20:26] lmat: it is a great distro, but it is very gui, ha ha [20:26] phpmyadmin can't log in [20:26] sirriffsalot, do you have a pcm / spdif output ? [20:26] TheLittleOne: try system monitor? [20:26] #1045 Cannot log in to the MySQL server phpmyadmin [20:26] tgm4883, what exactally was i suppose to see [20:26] TheLittleOne: Which process is using lots of CPU or IO? [20:26] BluesKaj: PCM yes [20:26] neytiri, nothing. I thought there was an entry for cinnamon but I guess not [20:27] netlar: naaa :) just press ALT+CTRL+F1. it's all good. [20:27] 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] that's digital , sirriffsalot [20:27] I expect netlar is gone forever? [20:27] is anyone available about phpmyadmin [20:27] lmat: I am gone? [20:27] Jordan_U: +1 exactly! [20:27] dury, has it ever worked? [20:27] BluesKaj: I thought so [20:27] sirriffsalot: what is the actual problem you are trying to solve? [20:27] netlar: If you press ALT+CTRL+f1 and don't know to press ALT+CTRL+f7...you'll be gone :) [20:28] 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] tgm4883: yeah!!! [20:28] sirriffsalot: you'll need some sort of amplifier [20:28] gordonjcp: damn [20:28] lmat: actually once in linux console, only alt+f7 to get back to gui, the ctrl is just required inside Xorg [20:28] sirriffsalot: most sound cards only have a very low level output [20:28] Was hoping there would be another way [20:28] 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] lmat: I wont do that until I look it up first, ha ha [20:28] 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] sirriffsalot: amp. Computers put out enough sound to drive headphones. [20:28] netlar: good! You're well on your way!! [20:29] netlar: Don't run commands you don't understand :D [20:29] netlar: What IRC client are you using? [20:29] 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] lmat: I can mix with headphones.. but I need to get some speaker-comparison [20:29] tgm4883, do you have any idea why its not loading, it was working fine last night [20:29] gordonjcp: flat? [20:29] tgm4883: "sudo" that command? [20:29] lmat: dont laugh, I am on Pidgin [20:29] dury, yes [20:29] <[dlp]> And I'm missing some dependencies for Google Chrome. [20:29] sirriffsalot: yes, a flat frequency response across the audible range [20:29] neytiri, no idea [20:30] sirriffsalot: You'll need to get a bigger signal :) [20:30] neytiri: May 5 19:03:47 milo sshd[16442]: Invalid user 0 from is one attempt from log file (was given to me from the provider who alerted me to the compromise) [20:30] sirriffsalot: lots of "hifi" speakers have got all sorts of weird peaks and dips to make them sound good [20:30] [dlp], are you missing libudev0? [20:30] <[dlp]> Not sure... hold on. [20:30] gordonjcp: well I've got two sets to choose from.. one is 25 years old, the other fairly new [20:30] sirriffsalot: age is irrelevant [20:30] gordonjcp: DALI brand.. whatever that is [20:30] tgm4883: right I will try later have to go.... really appreciate your advice, honestly [20:30] netlar: I use irssi. It's cli :) [20:31] gordonjcp: sounds wrong, hehe [20:31] lmat: that is why I said don't laugh, figured you are just working from cli [20:31] sirriffsalot: well I've got cheap crappy old speakers, and cheap crappy new speakers [20:31] netlar: mostly :) [20:31] netlar: for surfing web, elinks can't be beat ^_^ [20:31] <[dlp]> tgm4883: I am missing...: libgconf2-4, libnss3-1d and libudev0. [20:31] sirriffsalot: I've also got very good old speakers and very good relatively new speakers [20:31] 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] 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] Test [20:32] <[dlp]> Which can't be satisfied. [20:32] [dlp], yea, that is an issue with google chrome [20:32] lmat: wow you are hardcore [20:32] <[dlp]> Oh, ffs. [20:32] [dlp], you'll need to install the 'testing' version of chrome [20:32] BluesKaj: oh, I thought you meant the "PCM" in the alsamixer [20:32] neytiri: There's a good distro for you :) check out "linux vulnerable" [20:32] BluesKaj: no idea whether they are "pc speakers" [20:32] BluesKaj: haha :) [20:32] <[dlp]> Okey dokey. [20:32] byeee [20:32] lmat, how dies that solve my issue [20:33] [dlp], google-chrome-unstable that is [20:33] 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] [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] 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 [20:34] neytiri: got it, thanks - will do that [20:34] neytiri, i just read back issue with cinamon desktop? [20:34] <[dlp]> Most things seem to be working quite nicely. Considering it was a hacky ZFS root install. [20:34] Hello all... Can anyone drop me a hint as to how to compile upower with debug? [20:34] <[dlp]> System's slying :D [20:34] <[dlp]> *flying [20:34] OerHeks, yes [20:35] I cloned the upstream source for upower and It doesn't recognize the --enable-debug command. [20:35] 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. [20:36] TheLittleOne, looked at log files, checked my packages for known vulnerabilities, look at user activity [20:37] check firewall logs as well [20:37] how do I keep my sudo privs for an entire session in unity, at least for all the gtk stuff? [20:37] brb [20:37] Anyone? :D [20:37] CristianChelu: read the readme? [20:38] deadweasel: what exactly are you trying to do? [20:38] betrayd: Yes, it tells me to configure with option --enable-debug=yes. [20:38] But configure doesn't recognize that. [20:38] I found the amplifier that goes with these speakers.. but how do I hook them up to the computer (if at all possible)? [20:38] anyone know why only powerpc and power5 images are showing up here? http://cdimage.ubuntu.com/releases/raring/release/ I'd expect x86 and amd64 to be there [20:38] CristianChelu: and you need help from them, not here [20:39] i was going to change my password to something longer, but I don't want to put it in except when i login... gordonjcp, is that even possible? [20:39] has anyone had any success getting Skype running under 13.04? [20:39] deadweasel: not really, no [20:39] like a perma sudo for my unity session? [20:39] aw [20:39] betrayd: Alright. I'll try there. Thanks. === mh0{burns} is now known as mh0 [20:40] CristianChelu: yw, didn't want you to wait needlessly [20:40] gordonjcp: what is a good balance to have between security and convenience? I have a sprained wrist so long pwds are an impediment [20:40] but security is a priority [20:41] CristianChelu: and one thing, even cd to that dir and ./configure with that parm didn't work? [20:42] neytiri: thanks [20:42] Yourwelcome [20:43] deadweasel: well, consider how the computer is used [20:44] 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 [20:44] deadweasel: have you got it connected to the Internet, running SSH and externally accessable?

I used to have x11vnc config'd to auto start on login, but I removed it a long time ago [22:48] Test [22:48] can this be read [22:48] bray908201: positive [22:48] ok [22:48] thank you [22:48] Trism, those are both clean of any references to X11vnc... any other spots I might not have looked? === kboodu|AFK is now known as kboodu [22:52] how can i tell if my windows system is getting updated by my ntp server [22:52] pragmaticenigma: Maybe a shell start-up script that starts your X-Window Session? (Just a WAG) [22:53] It's possible, I'm grepping all config files now in my home directory to see if I over looked something [22:56] got it [22:59] My computer won't start up with mouse and keyboard working. [23:02] 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... [23:03] 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] that's odd [23:03] is your /dev properly populated? [23:04] GunArm1: run fdisk -l to see what drives are showing up === bray908201 is now known as bray90820 [23:05] my name is lyman zerga :)))) [23:08] Help Slitaz rolling install on android [23:08] beandog: they are not showing up in fdisk -l, I do get errors because most of my stuff is GPT and fdisk doesn't support it, but it doesn't even give me those errors for these drives [23:09] Catilius: and how is that related to Ubuntu support? [23:09] GunArm1: oh yah, gdisk then [23:09] hello [23:09] but the more I read the more confused HELP, HELP teimbolee 99% Adris install.sh to install the ubuntu [23:10] 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] GunArm1: if mdstat says it's synced okay, then it should be fine on a reboot. [23:10] Catilius: install what ubuntu? You just asked how to Install Slitaz on android/arm - thats not ubuntu. [23:10] hi how to create an accoutn for friends from gnome classic [23:10] GunArm1: mdadm will autobuild the array anyway by looking at the disk labels (raid autodetect) [23:10] GunArm1: I assume it's a raid1 mirror? [23:11] troulouliou_dev: easy way 'sudo adduser billgates' or whoever you want the username to be [23:12] Dr_Willis, i mean a twitter or facebook account for friends (ex gwibbler) [23:12] gdisk doesn't seem to have a list option, you give it devices, but if the devices aren't showing up in /dev/ in the first place what do I do?

[23:13] overedge: install gigolo and use that .. it's pretty dead simple [23:13] Im getting a dependency error when trying sudo apt-get install libwxbase2.8-dev : The following packages have unmet dependencies: libwxbase2.8-dev : Depends: libwxbase2.8-0 (= 2.8.12.1-6ubuntu2) but 2.8.12.1-6ubuntu2.2 is to be installed. Any clues? [23:13] beandog: no its actually a terrible RAID 0 but its all I could make at the last minute to have the space to save my failing file system on the other array, have you ever HEARD of disks not showing up in /dev/? isn't that really wierd and scary? [23:13] but every time i use gigo i get nothing [23:14] 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. === anon_ is now known as rcdn [23:14] GunArm1: meaning, rebuild it wrong w/mdadm [23:14] right [23:15] GunArm1: as to why your /dev is messed up ... what'd you do? new kernel? killed udev? [23:15] something? [23:15] well, I did cat /dev/urandom to show my buddy something which messed up the text encoding on that terminal [23:15] and I probably ctrl-c'd it [23:15] GunArm1: okay [23:15] would that do it? [23:15] no [23:15] you'd have to run reset to get your terminal back though [23:15] Dr_Willis I even where that is slitaz.img for arm [23:15] GunArm1: actually, no it could do it if it went for a while [23:16] Any clues on how to install libwxbase-2.8-dev? [23:16] maybe. [23:16] GunArm1: run dmesg, see if it threw a fit [23:16] Catilius: I still dont get how Ubuntu figures into your issue. [23:16] beandog: I never know how to interpret anything from dmsg [23:16] GunArm1: If your devices were there on this current bootup, then you're probably fine [23:16] but ill look [23:16] Catilius: most likely you dd that img to a sd card or usb. and boot it on whatever arm device you have. [23:16] GunArm1: This is the thing ... I'd shut down the raid manually [23:16] so you know it's okay [23:16] well as to establish a bte bboks not work [23:16] mdadm --stop /dev/raid0 (or whatever the syntax is) [23:17] GunArm1: can you pastebin the contents of /dev [23:17] GunArm1: find /dev | nopaste [23:17] 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). How can I generate a new grub.cfg from within a LiveUSB environment? [23:17] roasted: grub-update [23:18] or is it update-grub [23:18] beandog: you mean update-grub? It says grub-probe error. cannot find a device for /. is /dev mounted? [23:18] second one [23:18] hey my sound icon that is in the top tray doesnt work (13.04) [23:18] My computer when I start it up will not let me use keyboard or mouse (built in). They aren't even turned on for some reason. How do I fix this. [23:18] I'm within a LiveUSB so I have a feeling that may be doing it, but I don't know how to work around it. [23:18] roasted: okay, one second ... you are booted on a live USB and you are trying to copy your entire setup from olddrive to newdrive, right? [23:18] Treaver: can you use a usb keyboard? [23:19] No [23:19] 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] I don't have one [23:19] Dr_Willis iso unzipped, well, do not run out, right now, to hell with it formatted, xs be, I want a small linux operating under the arm [23:19] beandog: no, I'm past that. Now I just need to generate a new grub.cfg, because in my grub.cfg the UUID is to the old HDD, but I'm already on the new SSD - I just cannot boot. :( [23:19] roasted: oh, do what Dr_Willis said. [23:19] Treaver: this the first time useing ubuntu? [23:19] roasted: er, the tune2fs option. That'll fix you right up.

[23:25] GunArm1: see if there's anything in here: dmesg | grep sdk [23:25] or dmesg | grep raid [23:25] Ok- wtf?! - installing kubuntu 13.04 twice.. and twice its doen this. http://wstaw.org/m/2013/05/07/198918_579154618785346_1585525413_n.jpg [23:25] sorry [23:25] or dmesg | grep -i raid [23:26] subcool: it doesn't like your video card or your monitor, or both [23:26] I mean ... obviously .. :T [23:26] I don't know what the actual solution would be [23:26] i boot into the live usb [23:26] the color is great [23:27] subcool: on the new install, hit ctl alt f1 [23:27] see if it gives you a terminal [23:27] if it does, you can get in there and fix the X11 config [23:27] though what it's gonna be, I still have no idea. google your monitor / video card model in the forums, see what you come up with === naterd00d is now known as Nater-AFK [23:27] anybody know why nfs export option -vers=3:4 does not work on 10.04? [23:28] Dr_Willis: nailed it. boot-repair is an awesome utility. I shall definitely keep that in mind into the future thanks! [23:28] beandog, nah- it doesnt change over [23:28] beandog: nothing with grep raid, nothing with grep sdk, a lot of errors for sdj, and how far back does dmesg go? these failures could have been up to two weekss ago [23:28] i love how i just formatted this drive for nothing [23:28] GunArm1: depends on what gets written to the log [23:29] this is truely - never ending [23:29] beandog: are the numbers at the beginning of each line some kind of timestamp? === Aurora is now known as AuroraTheGreat [23:29] GunArm1: yah, I dunno at this point man ... I still think if you just stop the array, it'll be fine [23:29] GunArm1: and reboot [23:29] GunArm1: but, that's my best guess [23:30] subcool: one alternative: install ubuntu server on there, that won't come with a window manager. And *then* get in there and try to get kde/gnome/xfce working [23:30] ok thanks [23:31] beandog, im alreadt trying to fix the box... - i have a lvm... and a grub issue.. but now i have a NEW issue. [23:31] beandog, u think ubuntu would be better? [23:32] subcool: dunno, I'm just saying a base install without any window manager would get you up and running, and probably easier to debug from there. But that's just me. I like to go the long hard route. There's probably easier ways.

(like the system reassign the /dev/sdx designation of something invisible but in use and getting screwed up) [23:34] yet, here i am still having issues with the basics [23:34] GunArm1: yah, that could cause problems [23:34] GunArm1: My *other* suggestion was going to say to run MAKEDEV sd in /dev [23:34] but I ... wouldn't recommend that [23:35] then I guess ill have to winscp into it from my other machine to copy my files [23:35] GunArm1: http://manpages.ubuntu.com/manpages/hardy/man8/MAKEDEV.8.html [23:35] i need another copy of my files before I can risk stopping/rebooting [23:36] GunArm1: also, never ever ever use raid0. it's dangerous. You might already know that, but, just saying. [23:36] too risky [23:36] beandog: yeah, I do, its the dumbest thing ever, I just HAD to have something fast to copy what I could off my other dying array. and only got about 80% through that [23:36] GunArm1: If you're determined to do something though, use MAKEDEV [23:36] beandog, ok mr. linux- whats another vnc server? im using x11vnc- and ... it keeps freezing or crapping out in some way [23:36] this has been a constant struggle since february of cascade failures === TaiChi is now known as Guest47017 [23:37] subcool: I dunno, there's realvnc and tightvnc.

My laptop would take forever in a rip. makemkv requires compiling otherwise I wouldn't have a problem with it. Whatever it takes to get around those protections [23:38] michael87: well if you want just a straight ISO you can play with later: [23:38] hi - what would the easiest way be of making my PC accessible via the Internet (screenshare) as soon as it boots? (assuming it boots straight into graphical mode). [23:38] I am thinking I could add something like vnc to the init script. but I don't know muc habout screen sharing... [23:39] any ideas? [23:39] michael87: this is what *I* do. Install 'pv' with apt-get, then run "pv -ptre /dev/dvd | dd of=dvd.iso" [23:39] formating , there a few fat32 hex codes , does it matter which one I use [23:39] earl2: you want to use a ssh tunle if using vnc over the internet. [23:40] michael87: that doesn't deal with copy protection or anything, it just makes a straight copy of the disc image [23:40] earl2: thheres freenx also. but i tend to just use ssh to get into my remote machines [23:40] Dr_Willis: can you kind of explain how that works? I don't know much about this... [23:40] Dr_Willis: me too [23:40] also how can I check if my router even forwards vnc's ports? [23:40] !vnc [23:40] VNC is a protocol for remote desktop. https://help.ubuntu.com/community/VNCOverSSH describes how to use it securely. It works best over fast connections, otherwise look at !FreeNX [23:40] Dr_Willis: ssh is OK I would just like the graphical interface please [23:41] earl2: you will need to set up forwarding. [23:41] I see. [23:41] earl2: any remote desktop may be very slow/sluggish. You can ssh in and just use X forwarding to forward a single app if needed [23:42] Dr_Willis: may be very slow/sluggish if I don't forward ports, you mean? [23:42] hello everyone [23:42] Dr_Willis: is what we're talking about rather difficult to set up or rather easy? [23:42] earl2: if you dont forward ports... it wont work. ;) === walid is now known as BaKKaR [23:42] earl2: i dont bother with vnc over the internet. If i need to run a remote gui app. i ssh in and use X forwarding normally [23:43] Dr_Willis: I'd also like to explain what I'm doing. I have a device that has a display interface I can't use (no hardware for it) but I can get into it via serial port and it's online as well. I oknow for a fact that it boots grpahical ubuntu [23:43] earl2: you can set up vnc to work with a web browser/server also. [23:43] Dr_Willis: so I would just like to access that desktop remotely... [23:43] Dr_Willis: why not bother with vnc over the Internet? I really don't mind latency... [23:43] how can i set up or edit connections via terminal? i usually use gui of network manager but i dont have the machine locally [23:43] so is it true that due to smc being controlled by the os on macs Linux can't handle it [23:43] Dr_Willis: I'd really just like to configure some things graphically. [23:43] earl2, vnc is good way to go. I still use it. But I recently found something I like better: xrdp and x11rdp [23:44] earl2: when you click and it takes 3+sec to regiester.. you will mind... [23:44] beandog, copyying a regular dvd with basic protections is not a problem. But some dvds have special protection like arcos and such. Disney uses these alot. so does sony from time to time. Dvdfab as far as I know can copy these no problem. I hoped to find a opensource alternative or something. [23:44] Dr_Willis: heh [23:44] michael87: handbrake. [23:44] ive used vnc with ubuntu and it always gives me problems [23:44] I am remoteing in from my android phone over 4g... so its not the fastest way ;) [23:44] michael87: handbrake will make your baby go to sleep it is so awesome. [23:44] freeze or doesnt even register at all [23:44] 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] 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 [23:45] Dr_Willis: I understand the 3 sec frustration [23:45] linux cant be installed on a mac because linux has no smc control [23:45] Dr_Willis: So how would I go about setting this up? [23:45] Thanks Dr_Willis .. i like vnc4viewer, maybe the server will work out.. [23:45] 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] how can i set up or edit connections via terminal? i usually use gui of network manager but i dont have the machine locally [23:46] michael87: http://www.thepowerbase.com/2012/03/install-handbrake-in-ubuntu-12-04/ [23:46] damn theres alot of peeps on here [23:46] 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] anonymous_: actually its a slow day.. [23:46] michael87: have you tried a recent snapshot? [23:47] wheres the best place to get help with wine . i think office errror is due to be new [23:47] vnc4server is very reliable [23:47] Dr_Willis: how can I use ssh if I don't own a server though? (just have the two computers at home) [23:47] michael87: Okay, if you're trying to install something manually, then yah, you'll need latest libdvdcss and libdvdread. [23:47] beandog, no. I am running the latest one o.9.8 [23:47] earl2 any computer can be a server [23:48] earl2: err., a linux machine is a server.. just install the ssh service [23:48] michael87: they only do releases like ... once a year ... grab a recent snapshot, and it might fix your problem [23:48] beandog, also I am on raring ringtail and I installed the one for precise until handbrake for raring is complete [23:48] earl2 your phone can be a "server" [23:48] 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] michael87: oh look ... new release came out ... today :D [23:48] michael87: http://handbrake.fr/ [23:48] bray90820: lots of people use linux on apple hardware. [23:49] bray90820 have you heard of macbuntu? [23:49] actually I just googled something. what do you think about "teamviewer" for linux? [23:49] it would seem to fit the bill for what I'm doing... [23:49] any ideas on how to install office in wine? [23:49] earl2: try it and you decide. [23:49] do you think I might hvae luck with it? [23:49] earl2 just install openssh-server on the pc u wish to connect to.. [23:49] computer88: see the #winehq channel and the wine app database [23:49] utfans05_2: isn't that just a theme [23:49] 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 [23:50] bray90820 i believe its a full distro [23:50] fellayaboy, is there any chance that I can't conect to it due to ports porblems? [23:50] i changed from vnc to teamviewer [23:50] i'm not in charge of the router it's behind [23:50] just works way better for me [23:50] whats the newbie channel called? [23:50] which is a shame [23:50] last i looked 'macbuntu' was a very very badly done script.. [23:50] if I go the openssh-server route will I defoinitely be able to connect to it? [23:50] computer88: search winehq.com too [23:50] When is Ubuntu slammin salmon coming out again?! [23:50] utfans05_2: Macbuntu is an open-source program, designed to transform Linux’s appearance and layout into a Mac OS X environment [23:50] earl2: you can ssh into a pc... if you set it up right.. [23:50] earl2 u have to open port 22 on the "server" which is the pc u will connect to [23:50] I can't wait! [23:51] 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] i mean to the server..from your router [23:51] earl2: i ssh from my android poone to my home pc all the time [23:51] thanks bean [23:51] as do i ..but i ssh through an iphone [23:51] 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] bray90820, im looking now, [23:51] Dr_Willis: you should run sshd on it and activate gateway ports. Free proxy server anytime anywhere. [23:51] michael87: I'd try makemkv or handbrake first, obviously [23:51] mobile proxy* [23:52] michael87: anyway, it's actually not that hard, just install the two libs and then build something manually.
