[00:08] gustavo, I'm sorry i dont know [00:08] I am having a problem with my wireless keyboard - works great under windows, but when I use it in Ubuntu, it is very very sluggish, and has a tendency to double up my letters when I type fast. [00:08] ive never had an intel [00:08] dont want to steal you guy's time for too long, but I can't get themes to work on gnome-shell 3.8 .... the themes show up in my themes menu, but no changes apply [00:09] WeThePeople, did you try tinkering with your alsamixer settings? [00:09] gleichsnerd, yes [00:10] I am using logitech keyboard with the unifying receiver. Here's an example of my typing fast: The quicckk boorrnff oxx...

[00:12] Again, if I reboot into windows, no problemo. [00:13] I'm going to put this out there one more time.. using gnme 3.8, Ubuntu 13.04, and can't get shell themes to work. [00:14] hi [00:14] Hello [00:14] How is everyone [00:14] doing good! yourself [00:15] guys i have a problen, so i can't run armitage and i need a hekp [00:15] well well swordfish71 [00:15] I need to permanetly update $PATH ro run a non-login, non-interactive program i.e. a shell script launced via the GUI. Where and how would I do that in Ubuntu? [00:16] I'm currently dual-booting windows 7 and ubuntu. Now I want to get rid of Windows and do a fresh install. Grub seems to be intercepting my boot device order. Can't boot from USB or optical. Any ideas? [00:17] Any suggestions on troubleshooting this? Makes ubuntu unusable. Here's the output of a lsusb: tomv@tv-studio: https://gist.github.com/anonymous/28a24869ff09be7e857b [00:19] PsiKloPx, before you see grub,, there is usually some text about configuring bios.. Try hitting F12 or F6 during the startup process... then yoouuu can usually set the one-time boot sequence. [00:20] PsiKloPx, Here's a description of the process : http://www.tomshardware.com/reviews/windows-pocket,1113-3.html [00:20] toctom - I get F2 for setup and F4 recovery. Setup take me to BIOS setup where the usb and cd are listed first. Save and reboot...straight to GRUB. === aspis is now known as WeTheSheeple [00:21] PsiKloPx, Hmm. does not sound right. Are you sure your settings are being saved? === WeTheSheeple is now known as aspis [00:22] (Use F2 to do thehe e setuupp.) [00:23] PsiKloPx, Look up the per session boot for your computer, it is a boot from menu not in the bios, mine is f12 at powering on like you would for the bios. [00:23] This keyboard issue is driving me nuts. Love any ideas on how to either troubleshoot or mitigate the problem. [00:23] It's F10 and it doesn't work either. [00:23] My laptop keyboard works fine.. [00:24] And I'm assuming that the BIOS settings are being saved; they stay changed after rebooting when I looked. [00:25] Looking to permanetly update $PATH ro run a non-login, non-interactive program i.e. a shell script launced via the GUI. Where and how would I do that in Ubuntu? Anybody? [00:25] PsiKloPx, F2 -> setup should do the trick. Look for instructions on how to save the boot oorrdeer. [00:25] I'm going to try one more thing. I'll be back soon if it doesn't work. Thanks! [00:25] I feel like someone with a major stuttering problem with this keyboard buffering problme. [00:25] problem.

[02:23] tried a different kernel and it now boots but i have a blinking cursor on a black screen? [02:23] right. okay. first off i'm from the philippines. i work for an NGO. our office stuff is like so old. and what i have on my pc is ubuntu 8.10. the ibex thing. and i'm also new to ubuntu. so here is my question. [02:24] !details | ubuntuaddicted [02:24] ubuntuaddicted: Please give us full details. For example: "I have a problem with ..., I'm running Ubuntu version .... When I try to do ..., I get the following output: ..., but I expected it to do ..." [02:24] Ben64 -- but what should i format as? [02:24] ed_: 8.10 hasn't been supported for the past 3 years. upgrade. [02:24] i still just see ext2, etc [02:24] !eolupgrades | ed_ [02:24] ed_: 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 [02:24] bonhoeffer: whatever you'd like to format it as? [02:24] so i'm trying to create an ubuntu install disk for my mac [02:25] bonhoeffer: you should be able to use "dd" to copy the mac image to the usb disk directly [02:25] so i need to create a MBR partiton table [02:26] Ben64: i tried that . . . not so easy -- mac requires MBR partiton table and some other things [02:26] i know i read that. that's related to my question. here it is: because i've been trying to download stuff (chrome, libasound2, etc) and none of it won't work. i'm getting the sense that there's really no way 8.10 can accommodate the newer stuff we have today on the internet, correct? the only solution is to upgrade, correct? [02:26] wilee-nilee, you apparently didn't read my previous posts [02:26] bonhoeffer: everything is mbr, don't worry [02:26] ntel Macs only support booting from USB devices that are formatted with the GUID partition table (GPT), and I think it follows that said USB stick needs to contain an EFI bootloader such as grub-efi. [02:26] bonhoeffer: the newer images are able to be written and booted directly from usb [02:26] ed_, yes. its not supported, plus way out of date [02:26] ubuntuaddicted, Nope.

[02:27] ubuntuaddicted, lets be polite, please [02:28] okay. thanks people. [02:30] wilee-nilee, you posted to Merlyns_ immediately following my posts so no you didn't just get on. thanks anyways. [02:31] Greetings community! [02:32] ok, i got it fixed. server used to boot just fine but now i have to add nomodeset noapic for it to boot. weird [02:32] I did the upgrade to a newest 'linux-image" (end 28) and would like to set the oldest (end 27). How can I do it? [02:34] Physicorum, You will have to be more descriptive linux-image and a couple of numbers is a bit vague. ;) [02:34] downloaded binary pypy. When I try to execute it --> ./bin/pypy -- -bash: ./bin/pypy: No such file or directory -- what am i doing wrong with the binary download? [02:34] Physicorum: why would you want to use an older kernel? it probably has some bugs that were fixed [02:34] try sudo ./bin/pypy [02:35] Hi. I need my HDD partitions to mount on boot haw can I do this? [02:35] !fstab | lez [02:35] lez: The /etc/fstab file indicates how drive partitions are to be used or otherwise integrated into the file system. See https://help.ubuntu.com/community/Fstab and http://www.tuxfiles.org/linuxhelp/fstab.html and !Partitions [02:35] Thanks guys [02:36] Ben64: With the newest, my computer crash when shutdown. I have to select the oldest every time. [02:36] Or I have to re-install the drivers? [02:37] well you should try to fix the crash problem instead of using old stuff [02:39] I do not know how to fix it, Ben64.For me the easiest and better way is selecting the old one.. [02:39] Hello [02:39] I need help. [02:40] Physicorum: you can use /etc/default/grub to select a particular kernel as default [02:41] I have the nVidia 650M mac edition and need to underclock it so I have a battery and so it isn't so hot, how do I do this? [02:41] I can connect to my AWS EC2 server using SFTPD and I can upload files in /home/user but I can't read, write or modify flies in /var/www/. I would like to give USER1 access to that folder. How can I do so? [02:41] ubuntu version 13.04, btw [02:42] zykotick9: I saw the file with "nano" and I did not found nothing about "select" the kernel.. [02:42] I know I can change the apache Document Root to ~/www but I'm looking for a better solution. Can you help me please? [02:43] zykotick9: How exactly? [02:43] Bur-: You should probably upload the files to your home directory first, then log in via SSH and move the files to the /var/www folder. [02:43] Physicorum: isn't there a default=0 or similar? just change that to the number as it appears in the grub list. don't forget "sudo update-grub" after making any changes. (it's been a while since i had to do this - you could also just uninstall the problem-kernel) [02:44] zykotick9: Got it. [02:44] RandomWebUser - using sudo cp? Like sudo cp /home/user/filename /var/www/target ? [02:45] Bur-: Otherwise you need to add your user to the www-data group and make sure the /var/www folder is writtable to groups by making sure the folder permissions for /var/www are drwxrwxrx [02:45] RandomWebUser: yeah, that's what I want. Could you please tell me how can I do that? [02:45] RandomWebUser: world writable www directory = bad idea [02:45] add sudo to your "cp [02:45] zykotick9: thanks, but do you have any better solutions? [02:46] sudo cp /home/user/file /var/www [02:46] I added sudo before too :) [02:47] Bur-: you may need to change the file permissions in the folder /var/www of the file you just moved [02:47] Bur-: Suggestion is to use the command "sudo chown www-data:www-data /var/www/file.html" [02:48] Random832: what does that command do? please [02:48] zykotick9: If the default is "0" the another must be "1".. [02:49] Physicorum: perhaps, if you have recover it might not be though. look at your grub menu... [02:49] Bur-: It changes the ownership of the file over to apache so it can read from it [02:50] Random832: okay, but how do I add my user to www-data group? [02:50] Physicorum, Did you use a graphic driver from a manufacturer rather than the repos? [02:50] Bur-: If you have local access to the machine and are running Ubuntu desktop, you will find a tool in the Applications menu under System [02:51] Bur-: It will be called Users and Groups [02:51] RandomWebUser: it's an AWS EC2 server and i'm using sftpd, not sure what you mean there [02:52] Thank you for all the help peeps. Good night. [02:52] Bur-: your working on an ubuntu installation that I'm not familiar with [02:52] wilee-nilee: My driver is from AMD website. [02:53] wilee-nilee: nice crystal-ball you got ;) [02:53] I probably must install the driver over, later the kernel. [02:53] Physicorum: I cant get it to work in 13.04. I give up [02:54] lolbat: Actually, I am in Mint 14.. [02:54] KDE.. Good Stuff [02:55] !mintsupport | Physicorum [02:55] Physicorum: Linux Mint is not a supported derivative of Ubuntu.

[02:56] Physicorum, sure there are [02:57] hello, i have a problem with wifi authentication in ubuntu 13.04 [02:57] i was hoping that someone might help me [02:57] can anyone explain why when i enter sudo modprobe uinput it doesn't load the module? [02:57] just two peoples.. Unable to locate any support. [02:57] ubu, whats the module name [02:58] Physicorum, its not on freenode... [02:58] Physicorum, Try ##linuxmint [02:58] it seems it only accept keys that are 5, 10, 13, or 26 characters long, if the key isn't of one of those lengths, the "connect" button get greyed out, and cannot be clicked.... [02:58] bazhang, uinput [02:59] is there a way to change that? [02:59] yth, I am using ubuntu 13.04 and it lets me connect to my WPA2 8 char password network just fine... [03:00] this is a fresh installation - not sure if that matters [03:00] did you upgrade from a previous version? [03:01] Is Ubuntu better than Suse? [03:01] newcholby, thats not on topic here [03:01] Bur-, it basically moves the webroot from /var/ to your home folder (be sure there is nothing in /var/www first) [03:02] I just installed http://packages.ubuntu.com/raring/amd64/nvidia-313-updates/filelist and it says Im supposed to have a nvidia-xconfig but its not there, how is that possible [03:02] yth, no, plain install of ubuntu, I however did enable an aditional driver to use wifi (I'm on a MacBook Pro 9,1) [03:03] but I have nvidia-settings, which is not listed in the package filelist [03:03] newcholby, different distros are better and worse than others in different aspects, it all depends on what they are used for and who is using them. [03:03] i was having some trouble connecting to wifi during installation, so i chose not to install upgrades during installation [03:04] it seems like i have to reinstall the OS [03:04] yth, is there anything listed in additional drivers? [03:04] where do i find that? [03:05] yth, type drivers into the dash, and open Software & Upgrades, then click the last tab (Additional Drivers) [03:06] acovrig, i get: dash: 1: drivers: not found [03:10] is a apt-get do-release-upgrade safe on a ubuntu 11.04 LTS box? [03:11] hello everybody, I need a little help with gnome 3.8 ... I am looking for a setting or plugin to have application menus (eg. help, preferences) in the window and not on the top bar of the screen [03:12] acovrig, with typing drivers into dash, i get: dash: 1: drivers: not found [03:12] I do not even know what to search for since the terms are so generic ... menu, toolbar, etc. [03:12] codepython777: 11.04 was not an LTS release. [03:12] !eolupgrade | codepython777 [03:12] codepython777: 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 [03:12] any help would be greatly appreciated ... [03:12] yth, sorry, I diapered, evidentially my system doesn't like iwconfig; I'm not sure what you can do about it, I think that mean you don't have any other drivers, what card is it? [03:13] stefan_n, are you trying to dispaly desktop shortcuts on Desktop [03:13] Any ideas why my system would freeze (force reboot required) when running iwconfig? [03:13] Capprentice, nope ... let me give you a concrete example. the System Monitor application has a preference menu [03:13] my audio is working properly since I upgraded to 13.04 Currently the audio intended for headphones are redirected to the speakers. I tried fixing with PulseAudio control. what next? [03:13] when one runs do-release-upgrade on a 11.04 box, does it goto 12.04 or 13.04? [03:14] the menu is no longer on the window itself, it is at on the top toolbar, I have to click the top toolbar to see the Preferences menu [03:14] stefan_n, are you talking about quicklists ?! [03:14] Capprentice, I am afraid that is not it either [03:14] codepython777: 11.10 actually. you can't skip releases (except LTS->LTS) [03:14] umm then sorry...no idea ... [03:15] integrating the File, Edit, ..., Help menues into the 'taskbar'? [03:15] Capprentice, more window toolbar menus (eg. print, file, help) that typical applications have (eg. Firefox, System Monitor) [03:15] zykotick9: so 11.04 moves to 11.10 when one runs dist-upgrade? [03:15] codepython777: yes. [03:15] Capprentice, are you gnome 3.8? non-unity? [03:16] yes. Used it on Fed 18 I think. [03:16] zykotick9: so i've to do another dist-upgrade to goto 12.10? [03:16] codepython777: actually, NO. dist-upgrade is something different. [03:16] acovrig: i'm not sure [03:16] zykotick9: I'm doing sudo do-release-upgrade [03:16] codepython777: ya, that IS NOT dist-upgrade [03:16] then try to open System Monitor and you will see what I mean [03:16] !dist-upgrade [03:16] A dist-upgrade will install new dependencies for packages already installed and may remove packages if they are no longer needed. This will not bring you to a new release of Ubuntu, see !upgrade if that is your intention. [03:17] zykotick9: new release = 13.xx? [03:17] anybody else that has any pointer about application menus? maybe it has gnome specific name [03:18] acovrig, thank you for your help, but it's getting really late here, i have to go [03:18] my audio is NOT working properly since I upgraded to 13.04 Currently the audio intended for headphones are redirected to the speakers. I tried fixing it with the PulseAudio control panel. What should I do next? [03:18] yth, ditto, happy to (try to ) help... [03:18] codepython777: from 11.04 when you do-release-upgrade you'll go to 11.10. then do-release-upgrade again, to get to 12.04. repeat as needed. [03:19] Im now on Windows 7. sorry friend, cant do rite now. May be some one else will help you. You can consider posting a question at askubuntu.com [03:19] zykotick9: what breaks usually when one does these ? any experiences? [03:19] codepython777: my suggestion. clean install. upgrades ususally cause a lot of issues for ubuntu, and you're headed for several upgrades. [03:19] why not backup, and fresh install [03:19] ? [03:20] zykotick9: i'll have to configure a lot of stuff :(. [03:20] whats the best way to backup [03:20] I guess I'll try to do a fresh install then [03:21] codepython777: you can try the upgrades (just have backup first!), and if it fails - then clean install. good luck. [03:21] is 11.10 LTS -? Can i live with it for a year? [03:21] no [03:22] It isno longer supported [03:23] codepython777: 10.04 and 12.04 are LTS, next will be 14.04. notice a 04 trend ;) [03:23] I also have another 13.04-related problem; the software center complains that "Software can't be installed or removed because the authentication service is not available." [03:24] i see that kernel 3.8 is in my 12.04 synaptic list. is it ok to update to this kernel? [03:25] zykotick9: http://bpaste.net/show/9mmH45DNsAQ0yXAHjV2q/ - what partition is the OS on? [03:26] codepython777: sorry, i'm not sure. i don't do RAID, so i'm not sure... [03:26] is there a way to use the icons of 13.04 on LTS 12.04??

[03:28] tachyons: http://bpaste.net/show/9mmH45DNsAQ0yXAHjV2q/ - what partition is the OS on? [03:30] how does ubuntu differentiate between drives ....because i see no drive letters and both of my other storage partitions are named "New Volume" [03:30] /dev/sde2 [03:30] A1Recon: drive letters is a Windows-thing. from terminal "sudo blkid" will show you the device mapping /dev/sda1 for example. [03:31] A1Recon: everything is mounted into the directory structure. seamless you don't have to know what drive it's in. [03:32] tachyons: thanks. My /home is on /raid. So just upgrade the OS and the link /home? [03:33] zykotick9: Is all these things there in some book or something? I am reading one it's called "The Linux Command Line". Sorry for being a noob.

Like many others, I really like the feel of gnome with the top-panel and bottom-taskbar, and dislike the left-hand-side panel in newer releases. What's the best way to get a classic-ish feel on the latest release? [04:20] linelevel: xubuntu [04:20] Any code example to read voltage consumption on Linux? [04:20] walltender, you mean like CPU voltage? [04:20] usr13: I'd rather stick with gnome if possible. Isn't there a package that will give me back the classic look & feel? [04:21] linelevel: YOu're going to do a fresh install? [04:21] From my google searching, it seems like there are several less-than-perfect options. I came here to see if anyone has recommendations on the best one. [04:22] Hello! is there any way to run x/unity without lightdm? when i add "exec gnome-session --session=ubuntu" to ~/.xinitrc and start X with "startx" some changes i did on the unity-gui have no effect anymore. like autohide menue [04:22] usr13: Yes, though I plan to keep using my current /home partition. [04:22] linelevel: I gave you mine. [04:22] !notunity | linelevel [04:22] linelevel: Ubuntu 11.10 and higher use the !Unity desktop environment by default. To use GNOME Shell instead, install the "gnome-shell" package and investigate "gnome-tweak-tool". For GNOME Fallback mode, which is similar to GNOME 2, install "gnome-panel". Both packages will place entries in the Sessions dropdown. [04:22] is there a command similar to "top" but instead of staying open, it just prints the current usage out to stdout and then returns? [04:22] linelevel: That'll work. Just use xubuntu install CD [04:22] amagee: you just want the load level, or the top processes as well? [04:22] zykotick9: thanks. [04:23] usr13: Thanks, I will consider it. [04:23] LarsN: either way [04:23] linelevel: xubuntu is as close as you'll get to the gnome2 we all appreciated. [04:23] amagee: uptime will spit out the current, 5m and 15m load averages [04:23] hello [04:23] amagee: I'm unsure as to another solution, checking now. :) [04:23] awesomewm is where its at [04:23] i have a kernel panic since 13.04 [04:24] amagee, also the command "w" [04:24] will show load. [04:24] it saying: not syncing fatal execution in interrupt [04:24] linelevel: If I were you, I'd use 12.04 (LTS). === pdq2 is now known as pdq [04:24] usr13: Just because it's an LTS? [04:24] linelevel: (it's what I use). [04:24] anyone ever had a similar problem [04:24] !lts | linelevel [04:24] linelevel: LTS means Long Term Support. LTS versions of Ubuntu will be supported for 3 years on the desktop, and 5 years on the server; with the exception of 12.04 (Precise Pangolin), which will be supported for 5 years on the desktop. The current LTS version of Ubuntu is !Precise (Precise Pangolin 12.04) [04:24] mavensk, probably this bug: https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/1169984 [04:24] Launchpad bug 1169984 in linux (Ubuntu Raring) "3.8.0-18 HDMI audio regression: Either oops or opening device fails with -ENODEV" [High,Fix committed] [04:24] I know what LTS means. [04:24] amagee: tried "top -b -n1" [04:25] i'm actually more interested in this data from top: "Cpu(s): 32.3%us, 1.6%sy, 0.0%ni, 66.1%id, 0.0%wa, 0.0%hi, 0.0%si, 0.0%st" rather than the load averages [04:25] mavensk, try enabling the proposed repo and updating, its got a newer kernel that may fix it [04:25] I'd stick to an LTS too. [04:25] zykotick9: that's looking good [04:25] adoniscik: Why? I figure I should upgrade at least every 1.5 years on my desktop PC anyway (even though I've failed to do that so far...). [04:25] linelevel: Yea, just because it's LTS. (LTS = stable release). [04:25] IMHO [04:26] linelevel: But it is not for everyone, so, to each his own. [04:26] hello? [04:26] I don't. I figure I should upgrade as infrequently as possible, to avoid headaches. I went to 13.04 and I regret it. I regretted 12.10 too. [04:26] usr13: Thanks, I will further investigate what's new in 12.10 & 13.04 before I decide if I want to stick with 12.04. [04:26] zykotick9: I was just going to suggest that, had to consult the man page. [04:27] zykotick9: awesome :) [04:27] linelevel: lots of computers aren't a front-line desktop machine by a power user needing constant change [04:27] LarsN: i had to check the man as well ;) [04:27] servers, workstations for office staff, all much better served by LTS [04:27] amagee, you could also use sar [04:27] zykotick9: I got stuck installing and looking at atop, which while cool wasn't what amagee was looking for. [04:27] marvx, oops autocomplete failed me. is the kernel panic you get random and happens sometimes during boot? [04:27] and the sysstat package. [04:28] no it raises during use [04:28] marvx, ahh sounds different than the bug im thinking of then [04:28] im in firefox and bang [04:28] shall i upload a screenie? [04:28] linelevel: I'm just not one that wants a lot of tinkering to make things work, and sometimes that's what you get with latest/greatest in any-distro. === Onixs_ is now known as Onixs [04:29] i guess that i found out its related to my mobility 5650 [04:30] bwat47 because if i install a proprietary fglrx the system just freezes [04:30] thanks all, got a few decent things to look into [04:31] Hello [04:31] but its telling on a box that i have unsupported hardware [04:31] hamso it seems that i am having no chance to get it up n running [04:32] while linuxmint 14 works fine [04:32] if I already have an ubuntu ISO and want xubuntu, should I get another ISO or just switch ubuntu over? === Bladerun- is now known as Bladerunner === Bladerunner` is now known as 1JTAAPFIT [04:33] Dewi jhust install XFCE [04:33] Dewi, personally I prefer doing a clean install, but thats just me :) you could always do sudo apt-get install xubuntu-desktop === Bladerunner is now known as Guest71355 [04:33] Dewi: you can just install xubuntu-desktop if you want. [04:33] so is that exactly the same? [04:33] Yes [04:33] and will that switch the default over to xcfe? [04:33] yes [04:34] Yes [04:34] cool [04:34] Yep, it is. [04:34] you casn change your session on display manager [04:34] Dewi, sort of, just installing xubuntu-desktop on top of ubuntu you'd have a lot of extra packages installed compared to installing from the xubuntu iso [04:34] Dewi: To me, xfce is a Desktop Environment that doesn't get in the way. [04:35] Does anyone know how i can fix this small problem on my website. I am hosting it from ubuntu whit lampp... and when i type ä or ö in the site it gets out like this Tämä [04:35] yeah I just installed 13.04 yesterday and it's not really as stable or fast as I hoped [04:35] so maybe xfce is still the answer for me [04:35] I've liked it in the past [04:35] xfce is much quicker than unity on my machines [04:35] yeah I'm running a VM so getting unity even minimally usable took a lot of effort and resources [04:35] my assessment as well... [04:36] ever since they ditched the 2d mode [04:36] <--- oddball dwm user. [04:36] I managed to get virtualbox 3d acceleration working which is cool and all but kind of seems unnecessary :) [04:36] hi how to register nickname please [04:37] !nick | GreenTia [04:37] GreenTia: Your nick is how people know you on IRC. Please don't change your nicknames too often (use /nick newnick), or it creates a lot of confusion. You should also !register your nick with freenode. [04:37] besides, unity isn't *that* fancy looking [04:37] !register | GreenTia [04:37] GreenTia: Information about registering your nickname: https://help.ubuntu.com/community/InternetRelayChat/Registration - Type « /nick » to select your nickname. Registration help available by typing /join #freenode [04:37] never would guess from looking at it that it needs 3d acceleration [04:37] Dewi: unity is a compiz plugin [04:38] Dewi: It's really just a matter of taste. Unity is pretty cool really, but xfce suits my needs a little better, that's all. [04:39] usr13, I actually love unity's interface, its just too darn buggy, even in 13.04 :( [04:39] I really just want something that works [04:39] Yep [04:39] ... same here [04:39] I'm getting a fair few crashes and things too [04:39] bugs R us === wicked is now known as zz_wicked [04:42] Night all... [04:43] So I've tried the same steps many times that I'm finding online, but I just CAN'T seem to get the hibernate button back since I've upgraded to 13.04 [04:44] Any ideas/advice? [04:45] TheEnlightenment: is using pm-hibernate (terminal command) an option for you? [04:46] zykotick9: have tried that a few times, and it has the same effect as just shutting down. Anything I had open is gone [04:48] TheEnlightenment: that's certainly NOT how pm-hibernate is suppose to work. it works for me, but i'm not on ubuntu. [04:48] zykotick9: Yeah, it SHOULD hibernate just as if I clicked the button but no... [04:49] TheEnlightenment, Your swap slightly more than the ram and mounted? [04:50] TheEnlightenment, http://chriseiffel.com/everything-linux/step-by-step-how-to-get-hibernate-working-for-linux-ubuntu-11-04-mint-11/#not-resuming-session [04:51] TheEnlightenment, that fixed hibernation not saving my session for me, most important part is the resume=uuid= in the grub config [04:51] wilee-nilee, sounds interesting - why would it matter the size of swap and if its mounted [04:51] GreenTia, because hibernate saves your session to the swap partition [04:51] wilee-nilee: GreenTia technically, swap is never "mounted", just sayin' [04:52] GreenTia, if the swap partition isn't big enough to store the saved session it won't work [04:52] GreenTia, Has to be slightly bigger than the ram, and mounted to actually work. [04:52] wilee-nilee: try "mount" do you see swap listed? didn't think so. [04:53] bwall, zykotick9 wilee-nilee ic [04:53] So does 13.04 change those sizes? [04:53] Hibernate worked fine and dandy before the update...even had the button! [04:53] so many accidental highlights today [04:54] Hi there [04:54] I have a apt-get upgrade that is not reacting anymore. [04:55] What do you guys think I should do? [04:55] zykotick9, Gparted calls it mounted with a right click unmount, I am not aware of another term. http://imagebin.org/256890 [04:55] what is the best option? The upgrade freezed on the upgrade of MySQL server [04:55] I'm on a Ubuntu machine 10.04 [04:55] apt-get upgrade [04:55] wilee-nilee: ya, for terminology, swapon/swapoff - but saying "mounted" give the wrong impression IMO [04:56] RealKillaz, stop mysql server then retry [04:56] zykotick9, Fair enough. ;) [04:56] GreenTia, mysql-server is not running.. [04:56] wilee-nilee: but i certainly see the problem - i don't know what to call it either ;) [04:56] lol yeah [04:56] bu should I kill the process running the upgrade?

[07:17] hello all. I need some help please. I JUST instaled raring and selected the nvidia-313 drivers and now uity is broken completely. I can't remove the driver either with apt-get just giving errors. really don't want to have to reinstal and honetsly I shouldn't have to these days. ow can I forcefully remove a broken package completely if apt won;t let me?? [07:18] D3sign: Should work either way. If not, you can try a tool called UNetbootin, but I don't see why the above wouldn't work. [07:18] psypher246, try to find out why it does not work, surely it's because you have got wrong libs installed [07:18] you could try launching Xorg without any desktop environment and run glxgears [07:19] all I did was use the software centre to instal nvidia 313 [07:19] I found that the newer kernels don;t like that driver [07:19] so trying to remove it and I just get errors tat driver cannot be removed [07:20] Axlin: ok ill give it a shot - many thanks. Thought there would be an issue with the file formating if i did it on a mac for a windows computer.. [07:20] errors were encountered while processing nvidia-313-updates subv process /usr/bin/dpkg returned error code (1) [07:20] psypher246, you can overwrite it with the .run fron nvidia.com , but it is not recomended [07:20] yeah i dont want that driver, I just want to remove this one [07:21] so no-one knows how to foirefully remove a broken packeg with apt?

Now the internal NIC of my laptop isn't working. There are no proprietary drivers in use. Doesn anybody know how I can completely reïnstall networking on ubuntu 13.04? Thanks in advance :) [09:26] Pastulio , U can buy Usb internet [09:26] Pastulio: That's interesting. Did you reboot? [09:27] Pastulio: In other words, have you rebooted after unplugging from the docking station? === alin|mobile is now known as alinmear [09:27] usr13: I have tried rebooting when not docked, it won't work. The nic is only working when the device is in the Lenovo docking station (it's not a USB dock). Furthermore, when I restart the networking service now, the GUI freezes completely [09:28] Pastulio: What does ifconfig show? [09:28] usr13: I've read that when installing ubuntu when docked, the driver makes wrong assumptions and this causes the problem, I don't know how to solv ethe problem however [09:28] Nobody, that has a clue what is wrong === alinmear is now known as alin|mobile === alin|mobile is now known as alinmear [09:29] usr13: it shows the interface, with the same mac address. The docking has a Ethernet port replicator (maintaining the same MAC and other settings when docked) === alinmear is now known as alin|mobile [09:29] Pastulio , or you can rebout UR the internal NIC === alin|mobile is now known as alinmear [09:29] hacktus0__: How would I do this?

[09:31] Pastulio ,with : airmon-ng stop eth0 [09:31] Pastulio ,with : airmon-ng start eth0 [09:31] usr13: nope, but as soon as I mount the device into the dock and connect it to the ethernet port in the dock it is working [09:31] Pastulio ,eth0 is ethernet [09:31] I think [09:32] correct, hacktus0__, but I doubt this will work. it appears to be a driver issue [09:32] hi there, guys [09:32] Pastulio: I don't think it's a driver issue. [09:33] Pastulio ,you can test maybe it's good [09:33] ? [09:33] Pastulio: Did you try the "Additional Drivers" thing? [09:34] Pastulio , what is UR computer [09:34] ? [09:34] Pastulio: I agree for sure that you should have done the install without it plugged into the docking station, but it should be that hard to fix what you have now. [09:35] Strange... it started working on itself and I did not change anything [09:35] I did run "modprobe -r e1000e && modprobe e1000e" before I did a reboot [09:35] I'm very confused. [09:35] I'm going to try and reboot the machine to see if I can reproduce it [09:35] hacktus0__: Lenovo T520 [09:35] usr13: Strange... when I plugin power to the laptop, the nic works [09:35] Pastulio: Ok, reboot and see. [09:36] That's interesting. [09:36] usr13: I just unplugged the power and the ethernet port stops working [09:36] tail -f /var/log/syslog #And watch while you plug and unplug power [09:37] you are a bunch of faggots, who don't help anyone [09:37] I really don't know why the power cord would effec the ethernet port. That's pretty strange.

I'm currently using the iGPU. Whenever I reboot, it takes about 2 minutes. Sometimes it hangs on the Ubuntu screen and I have to cold boot. Any ideas please?

[11:20] Myrtti, I heard they dropped support of the web interface , but syncronization worked for some time . So the syncronization won't work either?

[11:45] I installed it on a solid state drive [11:45] bhavesh, am I even barking up the right tree? Isn't it more like GTK or Gnome development? [11:45] i'm back :D [11:46] Not just talking long. When I reboot it just hangs and never shuts down to restart [11:46] hei, [11:46] I have to cold boot it every time [11:46] it works great, it loaded so fast that it didn't feel like it was loading from a removable drive [11:47] Excryption: hmm yeah that's odd, did you check out the md5 on the DVD? [11:47] Are there a python expert [11:47] leocloud, #python [11:47] Note yet I'm installing Windows on my other laptop [11:47] makara, well #ubuntu-app-devel is the right place to discuss ubuntu application development. [11:48] who is learning python [11:48] if anyone sees boredomkills please let him know that usb 3.0 worked great [11:48] Will do [11:48] There's great news [11:48] That's [11:48] thanks for your time guys, see you later === branant_ is now known as branant [11:49] Take care [11:49] Excryption: definitely do that, if what you're saying happened on BOTH laptops it's probably because of the installation medium. [11:49] :o [11:49] help... I need a good linux distro very much ubuntu like but with persistence [11:49] Excryption: md5 checks might sound pesky but it's easy to do and a must when it comes to your operating system [11:50] Felishia: what does that even mean? [11:50] like I can install programs via apt-get and when booting again they will be there... [11:50] I always install operating systems this way and this is the first time having this issue. I read of others having the same problem sure [11:50] also I just need the terminal [11:50] I will do a check one it's installed [11:50] I don't even need a desktop [11:51] I was thinking about lubuntu, that's the one I use... buuuuut when I reboot a live version it just deletes all my changes [11:51] Felishia: And why do you think Ubuntu can't do that? https://help.ubuntu.com/community/Installation/MinimalCD [11:51] They all seem to have two gpus like me [11:52] Excryption: in the WORST case, install the LTS and see if it does the same [11:52] the minimalCD just does installation [11:52] or does it run live? [11:53] Felishia: maybe i misunderstood your question, so what do you mean by persistence? [11:53] I mean I do not have a hard drive [11:53] in that computer [11:53] so I'd like to use the pen drive as a hard drive itself [11:53] and allow it to save changes [11:53] I know puppy does it [11:53] I will burn another one just to be sure [11:53] but puppy is not as effective as ubuntu [11:54] some one can help me? I try run stratum server on my litecoin pool, with i have this error: "***** Is service_repository missing? Add service_repository module to your python path!" I don't have idea what i doing! :S [11:54] Hi. In Nautilus, is there a setting to get the status to become a bar. At the moment it always obscures the last file in the list. [11:54] How do I know which repository a .deb is in? universe/multiverse etc [11:55] Felishia: so you just want to run a good linux distro on a pen drive [11:55] Felishia: correct? [11:55] yes because I just want to run one program that runs from terminal [11:55] but I need to save what it does [11:55] can I prevent the automatic installation of certain packages? (from here to eternity) [11:55] JustSighDudes, dfo you mean a .deb package? [11:56] Felishia: so why not use the Ubuntu Minimal install and install kernel + whatever you need on the pen drive, and then boot from the pen drive? [11:56] BluesKaj: Yeah. [11:56] hello! [11:56] BluesKaj: e.g is apt-get install haproxy installing from main or universe of multiverse [11:56] because I can't boot it live [11:56] I tried minimal version [11:56] and I can't run them live [11:57] also they do not have that capacity to save my changes [11:57] What are the chances of a burn DVD being bad? Burned at 4x and verified [11:57] Excryption: Very low at this day and age but still possible. [11:57] Ahh okay, thank you [11:58] Also check the md5 of what you downloaded to make sure it wasn't a problem downloading it.

[12:02] Excryption: happened to me many times. [12:02] Excryption, i have a faulty dvd burner that fails at some point to write properly a disc, and i've seen that many many times, to avoid wasting DVDs , buy an RW one and try [12:02] Oh I see thank you for explaining [12:02] I'm learinging python ,but I have no idea how to program [12:02] I will do [12:02] if it fails very frequently it's bad drive [12:03] Excryption: first, md5 the iso, it only takes 1 minute. Then not to waste DVDs use a USB to do the install. Should be quicker too. [12:03] Excryption : you're talking to me [12:03] also, avoid using optical media, today is far more expensive than HDDs , and even flash depending on usage [12:03] !python|leocloud, [12:03] leocloud,: python is a popular Object Oriented scripting language included in Ubuntu.

[15:36] gebbione, no it should notify in the panel if there's media in the drive [15:37] D3sign: Wait... something is not adding up here.... if all you get is "completely black screen", how is it that you were able to "delete the windows partition"? [15:37] use ubuntu 13.04 my laptop is hotter than use elementary os [15:37] BluesKaj: i get unable to open /var/lib/sudo/adminuser/tty1: Read-only file system .... [15:37] the touchpad is so hot [15:37] Excryption, Have you Installed graphic drivers or checked additional drivers, details are neded. [15:37] needed* [15:37] No I have not === brad` is now known as brad [15:38] Excryption, check additional drivers [15:38] This device is using recommended drivers it says [15:38] But I need to install drivers from AMD [15:38] Excryption, Have you changed the theme, what is the history leading to this? [15:39] gebbione, try this : mount -t iso9660 -r /dev/cdrom /mnt/cdrom [15:39] I've just been installing the usual programs and stuff. I haven't changed themes or anything [15:39] Excryption: Have you tried a different display manager (gdm instead of lightdm, for example) to see if the problem exists for all of them? [15:39] As soon as I installed it, it would give me a black screen with a blinking icon, I used boot repair which seems to have fixed it halfway. [15:40] Excryption, Drivers from manufacturers generally don't follow kernel updates/upgrades and can be problematic, unless that is the omly option. [15:40] only* [15:40] How can I try gdm please? [15:41] Excryption: sudo apt-get install gdm [15:41] Now it reboots and boots just fine. But it doesn't show me the login screeen, just a blinking underscore, but I can still type in my password once it makes the login screen sound then it shows my desktop [15:41] Excryption: It will install gdm and ask you which display manager to use. [15:41] Installing :-) [15:42] Excryption: reinstall with USB device [15:42] BluesKaj: i get mount point /mnt/cdrom does not exist [15:42] williang, How is that going to matter? [15:42] usr13, just tested with vga didnt work? i managed to install everything and partition the drive and do a fresh install of ubuntu.. i managed to boot all went fine.. i managed to set it up and get to the login screen.. i logged in and i got only the blank background.. i googled this trying to find a solution. I followed an instruction saying that i need to go into advanced ubuntu boot mode and go into recovery.. from there i selected a menu item that was h [15:42] alf way down of some 8 items. It was something along the lines of checking all packages (or files etc..) i clicked ok when asked whether i wanted to.. the program ran and half way through the screen went completely black. I tried to reboot and the reboot continued the black screen. I dont get any line of code, bios etc.. its just black when i reboot it [15:43] D3sign, U dont have a good graphic card maybe???????????? [15:43] I verified md5, verified burned dvd before installing. Everything works, it's just the black login screen [15:43] D3sign, What is the other OS? [15:44] wilee-nilee, it used to be windows XP [15:44] until i deleted the partitions when installing ubuntu [15:45] D3sign, Can you boot a live cd/usb? [15:46] wilee-nilee, i was able to before.. and install it.. but now the screen is black - there is backlight so its nothing wrong with the screen.. something happened when it checked the ubuntu installation that made the screen go black [15:46] st [15:46] D3sign, Are you immediately holding the shift key down when powering on? [15:46] yep [15:47] I'm going to reboot [15:47] D3sign, Hard to say really no response at all to the bios sounds like a possible hardware failure, maybe memory card, you can check the memory from a live cd. [15:48] D3sign: You say you "deleted the partitions" but what you really did was tell Ubuntu to just use the entire drive. Right? [15:48] wilee-nilee, i did a full memory check before this happened.. memory seemed fine [15:48] guys where can i find the duplicate here. W: Duplicate sources.list entry http://dl.google.com/linux/chrome/deb/ stable/main i386 Packages (/var/lib/apt/lists/dl.google.com_linux_chrome_deb_dists_stable_main_binary-i386_Packages) [15:48] usr13, yeah [15:48] Ok [15:49] D3sign: Ok, do as wilee-nilee suggests [15:50] jezi22, Two places to look /etc/apt/sources.list and /etc/apt/sources.list.d [15:50] D3sign: RAM... yea could be a problem with RAM. You might pull the RAM chips and re-seat them. [15:50] usr13, i got the ubuntu installation cd in the dvd rom and tried restarting with shift down.. nothing. still black [15:50] usr13, ok let me try that [15:51] D3sign, Hit the shift after powering on, not before. [15:51] WOOOT!!! Thank you very much adamk :-). The gdm worked like a charm. [15:52] hi [15:52] Is there anyway to change the logon screen wallpaper please? [15:52] Excryption: So it sounds like something is screwed up with lightdm. [15:52] wilee-nilee, tried both - doesnt work.. i hear the dvd rom working though but screen is black [15:52] I'm trying to recover a USB key that's failing to mount. I get "bogus number of FAT structure" "Can't find a valid FAT filesystem" in dmesg when I try to force-mount it. What can I do at this point? [15:53] I should mention that fdisk -l shows it as FAT16 [15:53] D3sign You must do CTRL+ALT+F1 [15:54] rangergord: what are you trying to do with it? Because that kinda sounds dead. [15:54] Deepfriedice: attempt to recover the files on it [15:54] rangergord, Can you reformat it in gparted? [15:54] is there some repair function? [15:54] wilee-nilee: well that would wipe the data [15:54] hacktus0 tried but doesnt work [15:55] I dont care about the drive itself, once I have the data I'm trashing it [15:55] rangergord, You could dd the data maybe [15:55] rangergord: What happens if you check it in gparted? [15:55] wilee-nilee: trying to make sense of that would be fun [15:56] dd is a data transfer is all [15:56] hello again...I upgraded to 13.04 from 12.10....flash video shows green/pink tint ....If I revert to 12.10 , by selecting the kernal at boot time the flash video is fine. [15:56] Deepfriedice: I'll need some time to try it on a different computer. I get "gparted: Depends: libparted0 (>= 2.2-1) but it is not going to be installed" [15:57] dd'ing the data...would that be feasible by someone who is a novice? [15:57] rangergord: Just because the system type is set to FAT16 in fdisk, doesn't mean that's how the partition is actually formatted. What does 'file -s /dev/sdb1' show? (Obviously replace sdb1 with the actual partition name). [15:57] cpined, Any graphic drivers installed in 12.10, but not reinstalled in 13.04? [15:57] hello, can anyone help me to change the charset so UTF8? [15:57] OR CTRL+ALT+F4 D3sign [15:57] adamk: "/dev/sdb1: data" [15:58] Well it looks like the filesystem is totally hosed. [15:58] rangergord: Makeing sense of data from dd is something I would struggle with. And that error sounds suspicious. [15:58] hacktus0_ tried that as well still black [15:58] :( [15:58] adamk: I see...ok, thanks [15:58] the computer write something , D3sign [15:59] nothing at all hacktus0_ [15:59] rangergord: how big is the flash drive? === rob_p_ is now known as rob_p [16:00] Deepfriedice: 2GB [16:00] Is the data private? [16:00] don't know...what does not make sense is that reverting to the previous kernel allows the flash video to work...it seems that the 13.04 drivers are now installed right? so witching between kernel's would use the same drivers? [16:00] Deepfriedice: yeah, it's work stuff [16:01] cpined: There's quite a bit of the video drivers in the kernel these days. [16:01] Okay, lets take a look at that package error. [16:01] use 13.04 my laptop is hotter than use windows xp why [16:01] in FRA forum somebody says "the screen is small for the format of ubuntu" [16:01] Deepfriedice: I'm gonna try it from a different machine...for now I gotta hitch a ride with someone, I'll try it later. [16:01] thanks for the help, bbl === RocknRolla is now known as savio [16:01] in FRA forum somebody says "the screen is small for the format of ubuntu", D3sign [16:01] rangergord: okay. [16:02] so by switching between kernel's, different drivers are used? [16:02] same drivers? [16:02] hacktus0_ the screen worked well before this error happened.. the screen is pretty big both in resolution and size.. id estimate 15" [16:02] cpined: Same driver, most likely, just different versions. [16:02] cpined, Look in additional drivers, a upgrade does not carry some drivers. The description is rather strange is all a working OS with just a flash problem, that a different kernel fixes is disconnected. [16:05] UR blower run ???????? [16:05] UR blower run ????????, D3sign [16:05] UR ventilator run ????????, D3sign [16:06] hacktus0_ blower? ventilator? not sure what that is? doesnt work :( screen is completely black [16:06] What is going on? [16:06] wilee-nilee what is the difference between .list and .list.save in apt? [16:06] UR fan run ????????, D3sign [16:06] ur blower run? [16:07] hacktus0_: please try to make sense [16:07] hacktus0_: what do you mean? [16:08] hacktus0_ yeah the fan works and runs [16:08] OK, D3sign [16:08] jezi22, .save is a backup [16:09] Ur pc run but the problem ise screen or OS........... [16:09] Ur pc run but the problem ise screen or OS...........,D3sign [16:09] Hello, can anyone help me to change the charset to utf8? [16:09] hacktus0_ now its the screen? it worked before but the screen is completely black [16:09] anyone know how to use this parameter [16:10] how to i upgrade from 12 to 13 from command line [16:10] then is OS,D3sign , maybe..........................................; [16:10] hacktus0_: Seriously, please stop with the annoying extended punctuation. [16:10] D3sign: I think it's a hardware issue? [16:10] dextro_ : google ubuntu upgrade .. you have a few option [16:11] usr13, yeah but it seems so strange that everything was working well and then right in the middle of just doing a check it went capiche.. [16:11] ubuntu touch [16:11] D3sign: video chip more-than-likely [16:11] usr13, so wondering whether ubuntu check wrote over the bios or something? [16:11] D3sign: no [16:12] usr13, or as you say.. maybe the video chip decided to go bad just then [16:12] D3sign: Like I said, it is more-than-likely a hardware issue, (not software). [16:12] patrik_: are you on touch? was just looking at it for me driod :o [16:12] D3sign: yes [16:12] yes [16:12] patrik_: how is it? [16:13] usr13, i dont have any screw drivers.. but ill go out and buy some tomorrow.. ill pull out the HD and put it in an external.. from there ill reinstall ubuntu on it and try to boot from it on my mac? if that works then ill plug the HD back into the fujitsu and see if i can boot it again.. if that doesnt work then I am assuming it is a hardware problem in the memory/graphic [16:13] first you must download img file one touch from ubuntu. [16:13] D3sign: You tried plugging a monitor into the VGA port, right? You tried booting with a good monitor plugged into the VGA port, Right? [16:14] usr13, a monitor.. yes not a good monitor and through the vga port [16:14] good [16:14] D3sign: What do you mean "not a good monitor"? [16:14] a good monitor and through the vga port [16:14] usr13, old crappy tv monitor i got [16:14] D3sign: By good, I mean known-to-be-working. [16:14] patrik_, sere #ubuntu-touch for full info. [16:15] patrik_: cool..i will give it a try later [16:15] usr13, haha ill try it out on another monitor tomorrow [16:15] wilee-nilee: thanks [16:15] no problem [16:15] usr13, just giving up for today.. spent over 14 hrs on this today and its just not worth it [16:15] D3sign: Ok. In all likelyhood, it is a hardware issue. [16:15] usr13, i really thank you and wilee-nilee and hacktus0 for helping me out though [16:15] D3sign: NP [16:16] D3sign: Come back and let us know if you find the problem. [16:16] D3sign, Hope you get it resolved. [16:16] i was so excited when i saw the ubuntu start screen and then pooof.. all went bad [16:16] lol [16:16] usr13, will do! ill try taking the HD out though and checking it as an external [16:16] then at least ive ruled out one issue [16:17] cheers guys! [16:17] D3sign: I would still like to know what instructions you were following when you were in Recovery Mode, (when this all started). [16:17] you guys [16:17] D3sign: Ok ttyl [16:17] does anyone have issues after resuming from suspend that the gnome-setting-daemon is hogging CPU for a few minutes...and during that time keyboard shortcuts don't work...or rather i can't start a terminal and so on [16:17] usr13, if you can tell me the 8 options in PM when you do recovery mode i can tell you which one i selected [16:17] do-release-upgrade says no new release found [16:17] but i am only 12.10 [16:17] must be because of lts? [16:18] usr13, i think it was 8 options.. could have been 6-9 [16:18] D3sign: I don't know, maybe someone else remembers... [16:18] Anyone..............? [16:19] dextro_, 12.10 is not lts. 12.04 was the lts [16:19] Is there a way to change the name that unity uses as the icon name the reason i say is some of my games play in the linux version of steam but one of them require wine so i wanted to put wine_steam as the name of the windows version of wine is this possible? [16:19] usr13, i found it with a google search [16:19] usr13, recovery menu.. i selected dpkg - repair broken packages [16:20] tacomaster, after fidding with unity a lot, i made shortcuts on the desktop [16:20] dextro_, This a wubi install ubuntu installed from windows? [16:20] usr13, it ran and then - what i believe was half way point - the screen went suddenly black [16:21] D3sign, resume, failsafe, root shell? [16:21] moppers: i guess thats a last resort i really hate desktop icons tho. but thank you for the thought [16:21] wilee-nilee no its a vmware VM [16:21] D3sign: Yea, but what was the original problem you were tryint to solve? (What did you search google for?) [16:21] usr13, i then tried to reboot.. and the screen continued to be black from before the reboot [16:22] D3sign: How did you reboot? Ctrl-Alt-Del or______________? [16:22] to reboot [16:22] dextro_, Check software sources for any upgrade [16:22] D3sign: If the screen is black, how do you reboot? [16:22] ubuntu touch [16:22] ubuntu touch === patrik__ is now known as Guest64576 [16:22] usr13, ah when logging into ubuntu.. i get the login screen and everything worked fine.. i then typed in password.. new screen loads but only thing visible is the colored background and my mouse? which i can move.. but nothing else loads (that was the initial issue) [16:23] usr13, i waited for about 15 min.. and i just hit the power button. it was unresponsive [16:23] tacomaster, you might be able to use alacarte [16:23] Anyone here use Vagrant on their Ubuntu boxes to deploy VMs? [16:23] anyone having the gnome-settings-daemon issue ater resuming from suspend? [16:23] D3sign: Which was more-than-likely nomodeset issue. [16:23] D3sign, that sounds like gfx driver [16:23] my gpu driver like it will research t [16:23] ubuntu installation process [16:23] I'm wondering if, with vagrant, if you *have* to use virttualbox, or if it'll work with vmware too [16:23] i dont follow wilee-nilee [16:24] i have dont apt-get update && apt-get dist-upgrade [16:24] D3sign: Ok, so you did NOT reboot, you cut power. [16:24] the power button [16:24] moppers, usr13 so basically my graphics card got busted in the process? [16:24] usr13, yeah cut power - apologies [16:24] ubuntu touch installation without rooting [16:24] D3sign, more likely compatbility or bug with new driver [16:24] moppers: ahh thats a good idea to try im off to try that [16:24] bye [16:24] D3sign: In order to troubleshoot, we must have accurate info. [16:24] extra info in modules [16:24] moppers, anyway to fix that? [16:25] usr13, yeah apologies :) [16:25] D3sign: yeah [16:25] dextro_, software sources can be reached from the ubuntu software center edit tab-updates bottom dropdown. [16:25] moppers: He gets no display. [16:26] usr13, i heard he can see lightdm and login, then the screen goes 1 color and the top bar appears but empty [16:26] dextro_, Set the updates to all release and run a update in the update manager. [16:26] moppers: Really? [16:26] i made a icon in svg for eclipse (i hate the original icon) in which folder I have to put it to test it? [16:26] moppers: That is news to me....

I have a permissions question. I have a folder called Documents. It is owned by user asmith and in group testing. Permissions are drwxrwxr-x on it, but whenever i do usermod -a -G testing to any other user, they still can't write to that directory, but they can list files. What have i misunderstood? Do the users (if they are logged on) need to log out/ in again for the changes to apply? [16:36] usr13, the monitor is what id call half dodgy :P [16:36] D3sign: okeydokey [16:36] many thanks for the help though [16:37] Smaskis: yes [16:37] Smaskis: yes they need to log in again [16:38] usr13/jrib: thanks, as much as I thought, they had processes running which made them unwilling to do so at the moment so I had to ask :) [16:38] Hello everyone. Is it possible to undo changes done with terminal please? I accidentally used "sudo apt-get purge wine\*" which has removed everything with "win" in it [16:39] Im having a problem with a fresh install of 12.04 x86 on a dual socket HP Dl380 gen3 server.. everything works fine until boot when my screen goes out of sync error. I have looked for a solution on ebay but none have worked. CAN ANYONE HELP!?! [16:40] ebay>? [16:40] ciao [16:40] xtacie, try holding down shift as it boots: they will open the boot menu, and then chose failsafe graphics [16:41] ok i will go try that now moppers [16:42] Excryption, did you close that terminal window? [16:42] No it's still open [16:43] good [16:44] Basicly, if you scroll up a bit, you should see a list of the packages you uninstalled [16:44] I have run two other commands "sudo apt-get update" and "sudo apt-get -f install" hope they haven't messed up my chances [16:45] It removed everything with the word "win" in it, which is a ton of files but yeah I see it [16:45] Nope [16:45] Good [16:45] Re-install them [16:46] How? [16:46] Excryption, also in system log viewer in ubutnu, there is a log for `dpkg` which is what `apt-get` is a wrapper for [16:46] sudo apt-get install PackageName [16:46] Excryption, SCREENSHOT that window first :P [16:47] moppers, Good idea [16:47] you dont want it scrolling up and losing earlier information [16:48] Okay done [16:48] I don't know which ones are packages though === akshay_ is now known as akshay_r [16:50] Excryption, The following packages will be REMOVED: [16:50] blah [16:50] foo [16:50] bar [16:50] I see Removing [16:50] X upgraded, Y newly installed, Z to remove and T not upgraded. [16:51] Also, read the list of packages before you hit 'Y' [16:52] Would it be easier to reinstall? [16:53] Depends, is this a test-box or have you put time into setting it up? [16:54] Well since last night I've been having the black screen issue, adamk just helped me fix it about 20 minutes ago. Now I've messed it all up trying to remove wine. But I don't mind [16:54] If you try to fix this though, the annoying bit won't be re-installing those packages. It'll be marking the right ones as automaticly installed. [16:55] ARG, HELP. I did something bad. I need to do one simple thing: run update-grub, but my system won't load, and now, for some reason, everything I try with Unetbootin just sits at the Unetbootin menu and won't go ahead, so I can't run supergrubdisk [16:55] Thank you Deppfriedice, I will just go ahead and reinstall. [16:56] Thank you for the help :-) [16:56] No problem. [16:58] Moppers: holding shift just before loading grub dosent take me to a menu. it just says analaog video, unable to display this mod [17:00] 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. [17:00] wolftuned, Try another usb loader or a live cd/usb and chroot in fir the update-grub, or the bootrepair. [17:01] wilee-nilee: chroot, that I didn't know about, that can tell it to do the update-grub on a different root? [17:01] wilee-nilee: that would totally solve this [17:02] wolftuned, When I need a chroot I use this guide. https://help.ubuntu.com/community/Grub2/Installing#via_ChRoot [17:04] "The following packages have unmet dependencies" That's because I installed a package without one of its dependencies.

[18:25] first one [18:25] <_Trullo> hmm.. why is my computer out of memory, free -m says 30 free, and I have nothing going on right now.. [18:26] -Trullo 30 what free?

[18:26] i had lots of problem with my old os ... nothing's running on it yet i get only 100mb remaining. [18:26] so I think that last error is what exited vlc [18:27] <_Trullo> bennypr0fane.

[18:28] _Trullo: ah [18:28] is there a way i can lock the bottom bar? that should stop windows going over the edge [18:29] Anyone know if there is a Ubuntu 13 LTS ? [18:29] derpybogsworth, no [18:29] @ mschr: do you think it would be beneficial to... Didnt follow you from start - but have had a lot of headaches with ATI driver modules.. Thing is, you often find yourself ending up with wrong linkage once a .BIN has installed in an aptitude controlled system [18:29] derpybogsworth: No, the LTS is released once in two years -- the next one is 14.04. [18:29] next LTS will be 14.04 [18:29] <_Trullo> nothing in syslog, just a bunch of dhcprequests [18:29] oh so I should stick with 12.04 for now ? [18:29] mschr: like I said I booted into Windows and it supported 1920x1080 just fine [18:29] if I'm interested in LTS only releases ? [18:30] So unless Windows has the ability to magically upgrade my hardware I think it's not the graphics card. [18:30] derpybogsworth, yes [18:30] derpybogsworth: Yes, you'll be able to upgrade to 14.04 when it comes out. [18:30] cool [18:30] (besides, what graphics card only supports 1024x768 these days?

[18:30] I have a really old voodoo2 card [18:30] acovrig in your kernel is a table of modules which points to the .ko files placed under /lib/modules/`uname -r`.. If the kernel module table points to the wrong one, it will try load the wrong driver [18:30] ShinyObjects maybe you should download some RAM: downloadmoreram.com [18:30] Wait, that actually supported higher than 1024x768 :D [18:31] derpybogsworth: That sounds extremely helpful [18:31] derpybogsworth, I upgraded to current release bcs I wanted the latest Gnome. If you're fine with what you got, stick with it till 14.04 [18:31] I'll get right on that [18:31] bennyprofane, sounds like a plan [18:31] installing X display manager with fingers and the last 3 toes crossed [18:31] ShinyObjects :) just messing around [18:31] Elshar: exactly :) The first graphics card I had had a whopping 2 megs of VRAM and no 3D accell back in 1995.

[18:41] Why I'm asking is the board I'm looking at for a hypothetical build, http://www.amazon.com/Intel-Desktop-Motherboard-LGA1155-mini-ITX/dp/B007S9PF92/ref=sr_1_1?s=pc&ie=UTF8&qid=1368038137&sr=1-1&keywords=lga1155+ivy+bridge, uses the H77 Express chipset for video. [18:41] <_Trullo> ok, it's the gnome panel that's leaking memory [18:41] shinyobjects then you run 'sudo xrandr --newmode MODELINE ' - and you should then be able to find it in the xrandr list [18:42] I'll probably try booting off the CD (USB) and seeing what it uses for graphics by default, then trying to use those in this system... [18:42] will running the 32-bit ubuntu os on a 64-bit cpu let the cpu run less intensive? [18:42] mschr: that fixed it for me. [18:42] mschr: thank you very much. Will this change persist after a reboot? [18:43] I didn't know about cvt - cool little tool [18:43] shinyobjects which is your desktop system? [18:43] if not Xorg [18:43] mschr: it is Xorg.

[18:52] acovrig thats because you have no direct rendering (aka 3d and DMA) [18:52] rhodesp: you have to use the alternative cd [18:52] from what i understand. [18:52] mschr: yea, I saw 'vesa' in the xorg.conf, so now I know its my xorg.conf file that's the problem... [18:53] acovrig failsafe boots up with vesa driver, which basically is the oldest kind of VGA driver there is [18:53] Ahhh. That'll be it then [18:53] @silidan when i'm using linux I generally just use ssh for stuff like that [18:53] acovrig you tell which driver to load under Section "Device" [18:53] mschr: nvidia [18:53] linuxfreak003: i have to use openvpn.. [18:54] when you succeed, 'glxinfo | grep direct' should report YES [18:54] acovrig yes, but once you set it to 'nvidia' - it doesnt work, right? [18:55] mschr: correct, would my xorg.conf be of help? [18:55] silidan: that's unfortunate. I wish i could help but I don't think I've every even got openvpn working. [18:55] acovrig no, its probably loading the wrong driver (if its looking for a /dev node which is non-existing) [18:55] linuxfreak003: openvpn works perfectly when called with root rights atm... [18:55] what is the name of the alternate image I need? I can only see server and desktop images [18:56] acovrig you have installed two drivers which go by same name called 'nvidia', one: nvidia.com downloaded and two: nvidia-current from repository [18:56] mschr: the only /dev listed is /dev/psaux which is a Character special [18:56] rhodesp: Ubuntu stopped doing the alternate image from 12.10, you'll need to use the minimal iso as a starting point I think [18:56] after 13.04 upgrade Unity login will not complete [18:57] !minimal | rhodesp [18:57] rhodesp: The Minimal CD image is very small in size, and it downloads most packages from the Internet during installation, allowing you to select only those you want (the installer is like the one on the !Alternate CD).

[18:57] is there a way to invoke lxde from the command line?

[19:01] mschr: The distribution-provided pre-install script failed... [19:02] kexibq, I think dnsmasq and resolvconf do that [19:03] acovrig im afraid im only advising 'in-theory' :) dont know why pre-install would fail [19:03] how would I go about setting persistant dns with those? [19:03] my login screen does not complete after 13.04 update [19:03] kexibq, there are instructions for additions to interfaces but I never got them to work [19:04] mschr: I'm fine with theoretical, I have the option of not registering the kernel module with DKMS, should I register it? [19:04] if you wish to make 'nvidia' name (used in xorg / modprobe) register with the nvidia.ko supplied by nvidia.com .BIN installation, press Y [19:05] i have a feeling, you would be best off with de-registering the kernel module with DKMS and reinstalling the repository version [19:06] how do I de-register the module?

[19:44] hello anyone? [19:44] No clue haha. I just installed the 64 bit desktop ubuntu [19:44] need help here [19:44] You may not need htop if ubuntu desktop provides a visual way to see what's using resources. Compare htop to a terminal tool equivalent to activity monitor in the mac world or taskmanager in the windows world. [19:44] Ubuntu desktop may come with an htop like tool already.

[19:48] Bommer: I also suggest Xfce, which usually works better -- it's very similar to the old GNOME 2, but it's much more functional. [19:49] Prefect.

"sudo apt-get purge foo" should work. [20:11] jesus christ im gettin attacked ;d [20:11] sixyearsofdreams: You're somewhat right. [20:11] :d [20:11] Hello everyone [20:11] theadmin, this is from a do-release-upgrade that failed on installing [20:12] ho [20:12] theadmin, zykotick9 http://paste.ubuntu.com/5645711/ [20:12] bcurtiswx: Ah. That's happened to me, the fix was: sudo dpkg --configure -a ; sudo apt-get -f install ; sudo apt-get dist-upgrade [20:13] bcurtiswx: do-release-upgrade is NOT the same as dist-upgrade! [20:13] !dist-upgrade [20:13] A dist-upgrade will install new dependencies for packages already installed and may remove packages if they are no longer needed. This will not bring you to a new release of Ubuntu, see !upgrade if that is your intention. [20:13] zykotick9, i wanted a 10.04->12.04 upgrade [20:13] so it was [20:14] what is ip [20:15] @now /ll tony 20 [20:15] Error: Unknown timezone: /ll tony 20 - Full list: http://ubottu.com/timezones.html [20:15] oops [20:15] theadmin, http://paste.ubuntu.com/5645798/ didn't work [20:15] hey. how can i know - why flash player is not working here?

[20:16] bcurtiswx: i'm not shocked... best of luck. [20:16] Oh, Lucid support ending eh, finally. [20:17] theadmin: tomorrow, the 9th. [20:17] zykotick9: That's today for me already [20:17] theadmin any idea? http://paste.ubuntu.com/5645798/ [20:18] theadmin, line 617 is where the error occurs but i have tried everything i know to get around it [20:18] bcurtiswx: Wee... That's so much messed I can't even read it properly to try and understand the issue, but well, maybe I was just lucky because my update froze early on and didn't do much damage? [20:21] hi does sombody know how to disable sound in PCSX? [20:21] upomoc: Whats PCSX? [20:21] Any decent window managers out there for 13.04 unity that would allow me to snap to corners? [20:21] PCSX-Reloaded 1.9.92 [20:21] bekks: Some emulator for the Playstation [20:21] Also: PCSX is a playstation game emulator. [20:21] bekks: PCSX-Reloaded 1.9.92 [20:21] Ah, I see. [20:21] If you're using a non-gui try using pcsx --help to bring up more info in treminal. [20:22] terminal* [20:22] i am using gui [20:22] well then your problem shouldn't be hard at all to figure out with a little searching. [20:22] upomoc: I'm not sure about the emulator itself, never used it, but you can mute any app by clicking the volume icon, going to Sound Settings and then Applications. [20:23] theadmin: can i mute specific app or all [20:23] upomoc: see if you have a NULL option for the sound plugin, i don't, i only see SDL myself. [20:23] theadmin: i want to use rytambox and turn sound off on emulator [20:23] upomoc: Specific apps, muting everything is just clicking "Mute" on the sound icon, eh [20:24] theadmin: ty i works [20:25] I get an ubuntu is running in low graphics mode error, then it says it'll restart in low graphics mode and I get a blank screen in virtual box. [20:25] WXZ: Is your host 64-bit? If so, get a 64-bit Ubuntu version. That seems to happen to me on a 64-bit host with a 32-bit guest, too [20:26] theadmin: yes, 64 bit host.. not sure if 32 bit guest [20:26] theadmin: brb, have to restart [20:32] theadmin: does your CPU not have virt support? cat /proc/cpuinfo | egrep '(vmx|svm)' [20:32] zykotick9: Certainly. [20:32] zykotick9: ...'tis a Core i5 [20:32] theadmin: that's odd behaviour then??? [20:32] zykotick9: I'm not really sure what causes this... But that's how it is. [20:33] theadmin: yes, the host is 64 bit.. I'm not sure if the guest is 32 bit. How did you fix your problem? [20:33] WXZ: Getting the 64-bit Ubuntu version -- also, make sure you have 3D acceleration enabled on the "Video" tab of the settings [20:34] hola a todos, tengo un problema [20:34] vai cagar [20:35] hi everyone, i have a problem [20:36] theadmin: both of those things are true, still not working [20:36] what's the problem? [20:38] WXZ: Hmz. How did you download the ISO? [20:38] theadmin: from the ubuntu site [20:38] WXZ: Nah I mean, direct download or torrent? [20:39] WXZ: If direct, make sure it's not damaged, select "Check disc for defects" on boot screen [20:39] Iḿ trying this guide but I am stuck already at the first command it asks me to execute tar -xvf ~/Downloads/jre-7u3-linux-i586.tar.gz [20:39] theadmin: it works fine, until I install guest additions I think [20:39] http://www.liberiangeek.net/2012/04/install-oracle-java-runtime-jre-7-in-ubuntu-12-04-precise-pangolin/ [20:39] WXZ: Oh, how do you install guest additions?

[20:45] what /etc/grubish file do I edit to turn off spash? ideally I want it to stay in text mode [20:45] how do you turn off the pulse effect on the laun her on the lts version, You can turn it off on 13.04 with the tweak tool but apparently not on lts. [20:45] CarlFK: /etc/default/grub, add "noquiet nosplash" to GRUB_CMDLINE_LINUX_DEFAULT [20:46] spaceneedle, IN compiz config [20:46] theadmin: ah, right. thanks [20:46] CarlFK: And sudo update-grub [20:46] thanks.

[20:59] why wont the browser run zheoffec [20:59] they tried to help me and couldn't figure it out and are saying i must not have been doing what they were saying [20:59] harrisr: i dont know [20:59] zheoffec, probably because the people in #mysql expect you to know the basics of mysql before asking for help [20:59] it depends on the question [21:00] hi [21:00] oh and they got annoyed with me yesterday and blocked me for a few minutes [21:00] has the storage location of ~/.xsession-errors changed recently? i'm on 13.04 and it's no longer there.

[21:02] it was [21:02] anyway, what is the problem? [21:02] about 15 minutes [21:02] bray90820, the reason nobody wants to help you, is that we've helped you so much so far yet you keep going back to your old ways and breaking things [21:03] zheoffec: when i login as a root user it recognizes me as a local user === ubuntu is now known as satonio2 [21:03] bray90820: are you using sudo or are you logged in as root?

[21:37] anton_eh: ahhh, running a distro without security updates is a BAD idea. both for you, and the rest of the internet. [21:37] anton_eh, no, you could still go directly to 12.04 === _Athos_ is now known as [Athos] [21:37] SO is it true that after to-morrow I will be unable to upgrade to 12.04 through the update manager or will that option remain and if so for how long??

[21:51] from 10.04 - 12.04 [21:51] bray90820, in their defense, you have burned though people trying to help you in multiple channels [21:51] someone can tell me where to search for help? I'm desperate [21:51] anton_eh, do-release-upgrade [21:51] tgm4883: i tried what they said and they keep saying i didn't try it [21:51] cheers [21:52] pls someone help? [21:52] bray90820, channels like that are for people that at least know the basics of what they are doing === steffan is now known as terfy [21:53] bray90820, I'm not even sure what you are trying to do, but the stuff they had to help you with seemed pretty basic to me [21:53] yes [21:53] i tried it all [21:53] and none of it really worked [21:54] bray90820, what are you even trying to do? [21:54] they said i didn't login as root but as you cans see from this i did [21:54] http://pastie.org/pastes/7819920/text [21:54] bray90820, ok, then what? [21:54] bray90820, Then you've altered the root account so it has no permissions inside mysql. [21:55] bray90820, that shows me that there have been many modifications to the permissions inside mysql to restrict access. [21:55] well then they said i didn't do that and before i could explain myself they banned me [21:56] kboodu, wouldn't that also be what it looks like on a default install with no new databases? [21:56] tgm4883, no. [21:56] needs an auth table if it were [21:56] bray90820, yea, I don't really care what they told/said you did, nor what they did to you [21:56] tgm4883, For one it's missing a key database called "mysql" [21:56] /table/db [21:56] what it looks like to me is that i have no usable database [21:56] bray90820, I'm trying to figure out what you actually want to accomplish [21:56] kboodu, heh, so it is === _deXter_ is now known as [deXter] [21:57] in the end i want xbmc to correctly connect to my mythtv database [21:57] maybe you can start mysql with no grant options and see what the perms look like within [21:57] bray90820, ok, first things first. How many times have people in the #mythtv-users channel helped you fix this crap [21:57] bray90820: is mysql running [21:57] bray90820, You might be better off completely removing the mysql package(s) and restarting from the beginning. [21:57] kboodu, +1 [21:57] that's what i was thinking [21:57] sk00ter: yes if he connected and was able to query it =) [21:58] how would i remove it [21:58] bray90820, see it's questions like that.... [21:58] you can even backup those database folders you want to keep and restore them if you choose - (reinstall inclusive) [21:58] hi if i downaloda ubuntu 64bit can i use programs thet are 32bit [21:58] bray90820, I would also make sure you remove all the existing databases by checking the /var/lib/mysql directory and making sure that's empty. [21:59] If it's not, remove everything with "sudo rm -r /var/lib/mysql" [21:59] what is difrence betwhin 64bit or 32bit OS? [21:59] i also think there is a mysql script which comes with the installation that reinitializes those startup DB's the proper way and may set the perms properly [21:59] kurcic: yes you can use 32bit programs on 64bit if you enable multi-arch [22:00] kurcic: memory [22:00] go for a alcoholic drink it will help your back [22:00] jrib: so if i have pc thet can use 64 bit i shoud go for 64bit? [22:00] kuric, IMHO, yes. [22:01] kuric, if you ever want to grow beyond 4Gb RAM, 64-bit takes advantage of it better than 32-bit. [22:01] kurcic: in most cases [22:02] kurcic: some things still run better 32 [22:02] what things? [22:03] and i have 3gb of ram [22:03] kurcic: games [22:03] How do I set my autostart programs? [22:04] games don't work on a 64-bit OS? [22:04] Hi, Does anybody know how can I do the auto-rotation of the Gimp from command line? [22:04] megamanx1978_: Search for "Startup applications" in the Unity Dash and use that. [22:04] bray90820: http://dev.mysql.com/doc/refman/5.0/en/resetting-permissions.html you may find this useful if you are looking for other options or just want to know hwo to get around things like this [22:04] tgm4883: Most do... At least most native Linux games. [22:04] I'm having trouble with Ubuntu 12.04 and Screen Blanking & Locking. Sometimes it will properly blank the screen, however most of the time it does not. [22:04] tgm4883: they'll work fine, but will pull in a lot of 32bit compatability libraries [22:05] megamanx1978: unhide folders then look for autostart folder. Place shortcut to app in folder [22:05] theadmin_, bobolopolis sorry, I'm just trying to figure out why sk00ter says they don't work [22:05] i've never had a problem personally [22:05] megamanx1978, To populate startup menu sudo sed -i 's/NoDisplay=true/NoDisplay=false/g' /etc/xdg/autostart/*.desktop [22:06] i haven't had many issues with things not working on 64 bit OS (or 32) if you have multi-arch libs on a 64 bit sys - things generally work [22:06] Hi, Does anybody know how can I do the auto-rotation of the Gimp from command line? [22:06] i will go 64 and hope for best [22:06] 64 works fine [22:06] tgm4883: some opengl games if ran in 64 bit need 32 bit graphic librarys [22:07] Ty just wondering what section is "startup applications" in the software lens? [22:07] mojtaba, as-in you want to rotate a bunch of images, or auto rotate jpgs based on their exif? === theadmin_ is now known as theadmin [22:07] ive never had any issues with 64bit that i can recall.. at least not in the last 2 years. [22:07] mojtaba: do you mean perform funcitons from gimp on a image from the cli? [22:07] the last issue i had with 64bit was flash support, but that works now too [22:07] SolarisBoy: right [22:08] mojtaba: http://www.gimp.org/tutorials/Basic_Batch/ [22:08] mojtaba like so? http://www.gimp.org/tutorials/Basic_Batch/ [22:08] mojtaba: you may be interested in imagemagick also - they have a command called "rotate" and it will work on those the same [22:08] acovrig: Actually when I open the image with Gimp it asks " do you want to auto rotate the image?" and I want to do this on bunch of pictures without opening them with Gimp and re-saving them. [22:08] SolarisBoy: yes [22:08] mojtaba: ^ [22:08] mojtaba, if you need to just rotate them.. theres the imagemagik tools [22:09] yes - rotate as previously mentioned - [22:09] i'm sure theres a line you could write to rotate images that are taller than they are wide [22:09] Dr_willis: I want to do auto rotation on them. [22:09] I think 64bit ubuntu 12.04 and up has support for 32bit and 64 bit software [22:09] Chrome still has not fixed hardware/gpu accelerTion in flash. [22:09] mojtaba, if you want to rotate a bunch of pictures, I second SolarisBoy's recommendation on ImageMagick [22:09] Like the one Gimp does on images. [22:10] acovrig: I see. [22:10] mojtaba: hold [22:10] Then I should run what command to install image magick? [22:10] mojtaba: http://manpages.ubuntu.com/manpages/hardy/man1/exiftran.1.html [22:10] try this out [22:10] the argument -a is what your looking for AFAIK - [22:11] SolarisBoy: I will take a look. thanks [22:11] n [22:11] sorry i have some off lag on my keyboard =( ' -a automatic (using exif orientation tag)' sounds like what you want [22:12] SolarisBoy: Then I must pipe those images with find command to exiftran? [22:12] if it accepts from a pipe and your find command only finds the proper things - sure why not [22:12] other wise more like a for loop or so [22:12] I want a little drop down like the file-browser-applet, anything like that for pangolin [22:13] technically if it's going to rotate based on exif tag - it shouldn't matter to iterate each file as it will only set it to what it expects anyway - [22:13] "technically" [22:13] SolarisBoy: Thanks a million. I will try it. [22:13] mojtaba: so based on the man page for that one you can pass in a wildcard ' exiftran -ai *.jpeg' np mojtaba [22:14] !info imagemagik [22:14] Package imagemagik does not exist in raring [22:14] SolarisBoy: Can I also give another output directory? [22:14] you can but not with -i included -i makes it inplace so it overwrites the source [22:15] you would then want to revert to using -a and -o (output) in a loop and put them to the /sys/path/file.jpg name you want them as [22:15] !info imagemagick | Dr_willis [22:15] Dr_willis: imagemagick (source: imagemagick): image manipulation programs.

[22:15] mojtaba: something like may work for you: for i in `ls *jpg`; do exiftran -a ${i} /tmp/new-${i} ; done [22:16] mojtaba: as always i suggest taking a quick backup of things before playing with new binaries [22:16] SolarisBoy: Actually I am a newbie. Should I put this in the command line or should I make a script? [22:17] mojtaba: either or - and both technically are the same [22:17] anyone have expirence setting up a pxe boot server using 12.04? [22:17] whichever is comfy for ya [22:17] neytiri: yes [22:17] SolarisBoy: Thanks a lot [22:20] I want a little drop down menu of a folder like the file-browser-applet, anything like that for pangolin [22:25] What does the following command do? ip link set eth0 up promisc on (I know it starts eth0, but what about the promisc on?) [22:25] i'm trying to do ddrescue disk to disk like http://www.forensicswiki.org/wiki/Ddrescue but when I just do ddrescue -n disk1 disk2 logfile, it makes do a --force to overwrite the existing "output file" this is wierd since it's not in the documentation, but not scary since disk2 is empty. the second step is to do ddrescue -r 1 disk1 disk2 logfile, again it says i have to do --force on this as well and it will overwrite. now I'm scared to [22:26] I did try doing man ip, but to no avail [22:26] Jofironses: http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Promiscuous_mode [22:27] Jofironses: http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Promiscuous_mode [22:27] Still, wireshark works, even though my network card is not on this mode. Does it set it on somehow? [22:27] GunArm1, ive always recovered to a image File on the 2nd hd.. not tried to make a clone of the first hd,, are you imageing to /dev/sdb or to a file on /dev/sdb1 ? [22:28] Yow somebody up here? [22:28] Vraaghetmaar, a lot of people are in here [22:28] nice but are they active dxD [22:29] SolarisBoy: It just gives: "ls: cannot access *jpg: No such file or directory [22:29] " [22:29] Dr_willis: directly from /dev/sda to /dev/sdj [22:30] mojtaba: u puted the wrong value for ls i think === dd2not is now known as dd22not [22:30] Vraaghetmaar: Can I use find instead of ls? === dd22not is now known as dd2not [22:31] what do you wanna do with ls mojtaba? [22:31] GunArm1, that Might be why its neeidng a force.. Ive never imaged from one device to a 2nd.. i image from like /dev/sda1 to /media/sdb2/diskimage.img [22:32] Vraaghetmaar: for i in `find . -iname *jpg`; do exiftran -a ${i} /tmp/new-${i} ; done [22:32] mojtaba, it might be a good idea to spend 20 min or so reading up on some bash beginner guides. You may be making some very basic typos/mistakes. and i suggest working with a 'backup' set of your image files in any case. untill you get it all figured out. ;) [22:33] mojtaba, common mistake people make in examples is the use of the ` thats a backtick.. not a ' single quote. ;) [22:33] Dr_willis: the first pass took 20 hours as the source drive is failing and reading from it periodically locks my whole computer HARD, so I have to reboot and start again resuming from the logfile. do you think doing the -r 1 with a force would indeed erase those 20 hours and the data? [22:34] mojtaba: listen to Dr_willis go reading some beginners guides it will help you to learn how to use ls and more [22:34] Dr_willis: I see. Thanks. [22:34] mojtaba: sorry computer borked [22:34] Having trouble mounting ext hd. Using ubuntu 12.04 64 and wd mypassport ext hd [22:34] GunArm1, No idea on that. took me a week+ to recovery a 1tb USB hd once.. i imaged it to a file. and i definatly dont recall needing to use force. [22:34] ok thanks [22:34] flash videos run slow on ubuntu (ie youtube) does anyone know how to fix this? [22:34] Dr_willis: On that note, what advice do you have for creating image backups of a dual-boot (ubuntu and win7, both bootloaders installed in an efi partition) setup all on a single physical disk? Create multiple images of each partition or one giant image of the entire disk? :\ [22:34] mojtaba: the one liner i dropped implied you were in the directory with the jpegs fyi so if not it will fail === sparq is now known as sparqz [22:35] it also implies other things that they were named jpeg and not JPEG or jpg or anything else - so adjust he one line to your needs mojtaba [22:35] SolarisB1y: I see [22:35] michealPW, to be honest.. i dont bother.. I backup my imporntant data from /home/ and if everything explodes i reinstall the os. [22:35] I'm confused when it comes to disk backups :\ [22:35] mchlbhm: try cfdisk [22:35] mchlbhm: in the terminal [22:35] Dr_willis: Ah, I see. That makes sense, thanks :) [22:35] flash videos run slow on ubuntu (ie youtube) does anyone know how to fix this? [22:35] hi all, after the latest update my system seems to falling apart, with lots of "error while loading shared libraries" for various .so files, like libcap.so.2, libreadline.so.6, etc [22:35] michealPW, i can reinstall linux/ubuntu in like 40 min.. windows.. can take a week+ to get everything set back up.. (see why i like linux? ) ;P [22:36] SolarisB1y: I enter: for i in 'find . -iname *jpg'; do exiftran -ao ${i} ~/Desktop/artterest-correct/${i}; done [22:36] Dr_willis: I just don't have the disk space to make a file image of a 2tb drive, or even any spare sata slots to plug a new drive into, so I'm trying to avoid that if I can get away with it. But there ARE examples of using ddrescue disk to disk in the manual and they don't mention using --force either so thats really wierd [22:36] doomlord, best advice i have on that - is use some youtube/flash downloader extension, then just watch them direct from the pc/converted to some other format. [22:36] and it gave back unknown option -na [22:36] flash videos run slow on ubuntu (ie youtube) does anyone know how to fix this?? [22:37] Vraaghetmaar, fatal error cannot open drive [22:37] Dont use linux just to be cool, use it because it will safe your life (A) [22:37] GunArm1, the askubuntu.com site might have some info on using it.. or its parent question/answer sites.. [22:37] mchlbhm: try fdisk [22:37] Dr_willis: Hah, amen to that. I'm in the exact same boat, literally. I was considering using the Windows "Backup & Restore" utility to create an image of the entire C disk. I'm not sure how that would work out when it comes time to restore, though [22:38] mchlbhm: if that doesn work use an partition manager you can download it at the ubuntu softwarecentre [22:38] Since it's an efi dual-boot. [22:38] i have a hybrid gpu can you guys tell me how can i switch between the 2 of them? [22:38] Vraaghetmaar, I will try those. Thank you for your time. [22:38] GunArm1, http://superuser.com/ or stackexchange, or askubuntu.com may have some better info on the tricks to using ddrescue, ive only really used it a few times. and at the most simple settings [22:38] that's what i was thinking [22:39] mchlbhm: Your Welcome mate! [22:39] dotname: It depends on the gpus? === jagger|away is now known as jagger [22:39] dotname, what gpus? theres Bumblebee for Nvidia/intel chpsets [22:39] intel hd 4000 and nvidia 640m le [22:40] dotname, if its an Optmius thing.. look into Bumblebee [22:40] Optimus (puke) [22:40] I sold my MacBook Pro because of that Optimus chip :\ [22:40] it says geforce with cuda [22:40] if that helps [22:40] dident een know macs had them. ;) [22:41] flash videos run slow on ubuntu (ie youtube) does anyone know how to fix this?? [22:41] dooom: get a better pc hahahaha [22:41] The brand new flagship one does. Ridiculously overpriced hehe. I got a really powerful ASUS notebook for 1/3 the price :D [22:41] or stop using flash.. or use a flash downloader extension. [22:41] you sure it isnt a flash issue? [22:42] doom: Do you know what gpu is in your pc? [22:42] no i dont [22:42] mojtaba: i see [22:42] thats the reason jhaahaha [22:42] Flash IS almost always the issue dooom and theres littel we can do to fix flash [22:42] doom: It could be that you're using the wrong (Or no..) driver for it, which you only notice watching videos. [22:42] dooom, what video chipset are you using and what drivers? [22:42] Although Dr_willis is right, doom. Flash is aweful. You can set YouTube to use HTML5 videos instead. [22:42] so basically quick bash lesson `` is diff from '' or "" as in `` will execute whatever command inside those symbols [22:42] SolarisB1y: Do you know what should I do? [22:42] its a fresh instaall [22:43] Not all videos are avail. in HTML5 yet, but at this point most of them are. [22:43] gr mojtaba that was for you === alexis is now known as Guest58739 [22:43] SolarisB1y: I correct that onw [22:43] guys got to go [22:43] seeya [22:43] one* [22:43] it seems ubuntu 13.04 has flash installed by default? [22:43] SolarisB1y, Backticks are VERY differnt. :) echo `date` runs the date command.. then exchos the output [22:43] But still not working [22:43] right because your saying -o but i dont see where you are telling the files to go [22:43] SolarisB1y, i tend to use the $(command) syntax these days.. easier to read [22:43] Dr_willis: me too [22:44] doom: Open a terminal by holding Ctrl, Alt and T. In the terminal, type: lspci | grep VGA [22:44] dooom, if you checked that one checkbox at the start of the installer it installs it i belive [22:44] What VGA adapters does it find? :) [22:44] my wifi indicator is on,but oit says that wireless is disabled by hardware switch [22:44] that was irc shorthand =) actually i do that so much people often say to me "hey you know you can use this right ``" the give/take of *nix ::sigh:: [22:44] ohhh yeah i did [22:44] ext hd not showing up via fdisk or gparted [22:44] SolarisB1y: Could you please help me to figure it out. [22:45] mojtaba: cd to where the files are [22:45] ok [22:45] SolarisB1y: ok [22:45] mojtaba: do you know how to paste bin? [22:45] Oops I typed his name wrong, so it didn't highlight. [22:45] sudo add-apt-repository ppa:ubuntu-x-swat/x-updates [22:45] Meh [22:45] wrong [22:45] SolarisB1y: Yes, [22:45] 00:01.0 VGA compatible controller: Advanced Micro Devices [AMD] nee ATI Wrestler [Radeon HD 6250] [22:46] Oh cool, Radeon :) [22:46] thats good? [22:46] mojtaba: ok quick lesson then. Type everything after this dash - for i in $(ls) ; do echo "Filename: ${i}"; done [22:46] and paste it - but also pay attention to it and what happend when it's done - [22:46] SolarisB1y: you shouldn't parse ls like that [22:46] this is not for production its for testing [22:46] Can I use the Gnome Shell/GDM login, lockscreen in 13.04? [22:46] we will fix that shortly [22:46] So what can I do to get ubuntu to recognize my ext hd? lol [22:46] SolarisB1y: you're instilling bad habits [22:46] thanks though jrib i have never and wont start soon [22:47] dooom: So you'll most likely want to install the proprietary AMD drivers (Called "fglrx" for FireGL, Radeon and Xpress) and you'll get much better performance out of that 6250. [22:47] jrib: ok sorry ill stop trying to help the individual then [22:47] apologies for that~!!!! i had no idea i was so in the wrong... [22:47] michealPW: and how do i do this? [22:47] SolarisB1y: no it's fine, just use "for i in *" instead [22:47] SolarisB1y: http://paste.ubuntu.com/5646157/ [22:47] i think you missed my point here [22:47] thanks mojtaba [22:47] dooom: In the terminal (If you closed it, just Ctrl+Alt+T) type: sudo apt-get install fglrx-updates [22:48] jrib: point well taken ... === LifeIsPain` is now known as LifeIsPain [22:48] michealPW: anything else? [22:48] anyway - mojtaba so those dont look like image files is problem 1 [22:48] dooom: I get good mileage out of fglrx-updates. Yours may vary. If you ever have trouble (Thrown to a single-user terminal) just log-in and type sudo apt-get purge fglrx-updates && sudo apt-get install fglrx [22:48] my ultimate point which hopefully you got now.... [22:49] dooom: Nope, that's it. Once install finishes for the 1st time run: sudo amdconfig --initial [22:49] SolarisB1y: can I use find instead of ls? [22:49] mojtaba: is that you can loop over the contents of files/folders in a location and perform an operation which intiially i dont think you got [22:49] Which will generate your x config, but you only need to do this once. [22:49] I mean replace it with find. [22:49] mojtaba: yes and i as i *INITIALLY* said - thats probably what you want [22:49] the ls and all talks of - were an example [22:49] mojtaba: again yes - [22:50] SolarisB1y: Because actually the pictures are in directories, and all of them are in on directory [22:50] I want to do it in subdirectories. [22:50] can I make a ctrl + alt + break shortcut? [22:50] jrib: would ls -1 have made you more comfy in that situation? [22:51] SolarisB1y: I just avoid it, it shouldn't be necessary ( http://mywiki.wooledge.org/ParsingLs is a good reference for this ) [22:51] jrib: why is parsing the output of a command not a good practice (understanding what you said but taking another look at that general statement) [22:51] i've seen that referenced here in the past... let me see .. [22:52] michealPW: also i heard theres differnt flash plugins? [22:52] that some work better then others? [22:52] dooom: Well I suppose now there's 3... [22:53] any idea which one works best and how to check which one im useing? [22:53] dooom: There's an open-source flash player called "Gnash", as well as the official Adobe flash player. Google's Chrome has the 3rd flash player, which is the latest version I suppose. [22:53] im not useing google chrome [22:53] I tyically just use Adobe's plugin, 'cause I'm not a Chrome user but meh. I suppose that's a dying strategy :\ [22:53] firefox is the default browser [22:53] SolarisB1y: Could you please let me know how can I use find in that statement? [22:53] Hopefully Gnash progresses but in my experience.. You can watch YouTube with Gnash but *most* other flash content does not work. [22:54] plausible effort on that doc link - i get the point it does make lots of sense - but again why are people making file names with new lines? lol [22:54] mojtaba: in the same manner as you would with ls enclosing it in $() or `` [22:54] dooom: So as a firefox user your choice is pretty limited, until Gnash gets better (It's still actively being developed) your best bet is Adobe's plugin. [22:54] michealPW: isnt there a firefox plugin? [22:54] mojtaba: might want to take a look at find's -exec switch [22:55] !flash | dooom [22:55] dooom: To install Flash see https://help.ubuntu.com/community/RestrictedFormats/Flash - See also !Restricted and !Gnash [22:55] dooom: That's it (Adobe and Gnash) [22:55] good suggestion [22:55] oh ok [22:55] !flash | michealPW [22:55] michealPW, please see my private message [22:58] SolarisB1y: It is the result: for i in `find . -iname *jpg`; do exiftran -a ${i} /tmp/new-${i}; done [22:58] you have to either specify a output file (-o ) [22:58] or enable inplace editing (-i). Try -h for more info. [22:59] michealPW: neither gnash nor html5 will allow you to play all youtube videos :(..

[23:17] AdamD: Nope. [23:18] anyone know how to 'upgrade' from cinnamon 1.67 to 1.8? [23:18] let me guess not on ntfs ethier? [23:18] AdamD: Correct. === kboodu is now known as kboodu|AFK [23:18] so only native linux fs [23:18] ? [23:18] like ext2/3/4 hfs [23:18] AdamD: Yes.

[23:18] AdamD: Please don't flood; use http://paste.ubuntu.com to paste; don't use Enter as punctuation. [23:18] AdamD: hfs isnt a "native linux fs". [23:19] utfans05, Yep... nuttin' [23:19] i didnt mean to say hfs rather jfs [23:19] AdamD: just like you can't install windows onto ext3 [23:19] AdamD: what are you wanting to do? [23:19] or install mac os x onto ntfs right? [23:19] i was just wondering in case future [23:20] mchlbhm, hrm... give me a min [23:20] utfans05, tried different ports. still nothing. OK, thank you [23:20] do people get paid to do support in here? or is it all volunteers? [23:20] mchlbhm, can you post what that gives you to a pastebin so i can see, it may be there you just might be missing it [23:20] mchlbhm: unplug it, wait 10 seconds, plug it back in. then pastebin the output of "dmesg" [23:20] GunArm1: They are all volunteers. [23:21] GunArm1: "We" ;) [23:21] amazing [23:21] im getting paid [23:21] Ben64, will do [23:21] Chris_W_: in the sense that you get paid to poop when you are on the clock? or like officially payed? [23:22] i just wonder because there are some people who are in here every day answering everyones questions for hours and hours like a full time job [23:23] GunArm1: you could ask people in #ubuntu-offtopic [23:24] Ben64, utfans05: http://paste.ubuntu.com/5646218/ [23:24] pastebin rocks :D [23:25] strange... it definitely sees that you plugged it in, but it's not recognizing it [23:25] mchlbhm: does it have any weird features? [23:25] anyone know how to 'upgrade' from cinnamon 1.67 to 1.8? [23:25] Chris_W_: cinnamon isn't supported here [23:26] i am using kvirc how do i add a server to connect to? [23:26] ben64 - mchlbhm yeah thats weird, its not reading the info on the drive at all [23:26] Ben64, Not sure what you mean [23:26] mchlbhm: does the drive have both a usb and a power cable? [23:28] Ben64, no just like a cellphone type port [23:28] mchlbhm: then i'm guessing the problem is lack of power [23:29] mchlbhm, does it work on another pc? [23:29] utfans05, I'll find out [23:32] is there a way to put a grub loader on an lvm partition? [23:32] can someone help me add a new server connection to KVIRC please? [23:32] rhodesp: What exactly are you trying? [23:34] #computernerds is moving to #lardcc on irc.dal.net but my kvirc doesnt have it listed. is there a way to add it to the server list? [23:34] the server, not the channel. i can add the channel once i can connect to the server [23:35] installing all of ubuntu within an LVM VG and put the grub loader on the base disk. Not sure if that works still. Think I either need the /root or the /boot to be primary [23:35] rhodesp: It wont work. Create a regular boot partition. [23:35] magpii|2: look in the documentation for the program [23:36] utfans05, tried it on wife's laptop. Says it's searching win update for drivers [23:37] mchlbhm, is this a brand new external? [23:38] utfans05, Says ready to use but still won't show up. No, couple years old [23:38] mchlbhm, do you hear the drive spinning up or is totally drive, im thinking it might be hardware related not [23:38] not=now [23:39] utfans05, spins and the light lights up [23:39] I got a virus [23:39] mchlbhm: Whats the output of dmesg then? Could you pastebin it along with sudo fdisk -l please? === mike is now known as Guest6762 === BadLarry is now known as BadLarry_ [23:41] bekks, http://paste.ubuntu.com/5646218/ This is dmesg [23:41] Bekks, standby for fdisk [23:42] i can't see half of my launcher. how can i move the display to the right? [23:43] !details | kavurt [23:43] kavurt: Please give us full details. For example: "I have a problem with ..., I'm running Ubuntu version .... When I try to do ..., I get the following output: ..., but I expected it to do ..." [23:43] bekks, http://paste.ubuntu.com/5646257/ fdisk [23:45] another fork? I'll just leave this here: http://i.imgur.com/BcS4XJm.png [23:45] mchlbhm: Its not even getting a device node, sounds like a broken controller :) [23:46] i just installed ubuntu 13.04. my monitor is a sharp tv. i can't adjust display manually through the monitor. i need to move the screen half an inch to the right to be able to see the left side of the desktop. now i can't see the close button for windows and i cannot see left half of the launcher. is there a way to move the screen to the right through gui? [23:47] mchlbhm: To clarify it: your device isnt even getting a device node in /dev so it cant be accessed at all. [23:47] bekks, I apologize for my ignorance. Could you phrase that more n00b friendly? :D [23:48] bekks, even better... Send me a link that will teach me. :) [23:48] kavurt, I would check the resolution options. [23:49] mchlbhm: the /dev folder is holding "device nodes" for every hardware in your computer. They allow you to actually access that hardware. Those nodes are generated automatically on hardware changes (like plugging in your drive) - but your device isnt even getting a device node. [23:50] mchlbhm: Maybe you have to use some Windows to install the WD software, and somehow "unlock" the drive. [23:50] mchlbhm: Thats what I experienced a few years ago, using a MyPassport disk. [23:50] wilee-nilee, i did. if i pick 1024 768 i can see the whole screen but that resolution is not suitable for this tv(monitor). the only other option is 1360x768. and i have the problem i described above with that resolution. [23:50] i have a laptop with hybrid gpu intel hd and nvidia i tried to use bumblebee but i cant get the battery duration compared to windows [23:51] bekks: utfans05 also suggested a possible power problem. How could I address that issue? [23:51] what true & false do? [23:52] mchlbhm: Was the device shipped with an external power supply? === Vincent is now known as Guest27710 [23:52] Cyclohexane: They return "true" or "false". [23:52] im on ubuntu 12.04 without any admin rights, is there something i can use to record my desktop? [23:52] bekks: negative === Guest27710 is now known as MrNagata [23:52] mchlbhm: Did you use other USB ports yet? [23:52] bekks: so if you run command & command what's it do? [23:52] Cyclohexane: It returns its value and exits. [23:52] bekks: I did, and tried other computers [23:53] kavurt, Run xrandr to see the options, not sure there is a gui to do a custom adjustment per-say. [23:53] mchlbhm: And no luck, even on other computers? [23:54] bekks: Well, my other laptop is running mint 13 (no luck) and my wife's installed a driver for it, but it didn't seem to mount [23:54] bekks: difference between & and && then? [23:55] mchlbhm: If she's using windows, try installing the shipped software to "unlock" the drive. [23:55] Cyclohexane: & puts a command into background, cmd1 && cmd2 executes cmd2 if cmd1 was executed without errors. [23:56] I'm having trouble with my graphics [23:56] bekks: will do [23:56] As in the sidebar disappeared [23:56] after installing and removing fglrx and fglrx-amdcccle [23:57] anyone have any ideas? [23:58] saxplayer1216: Just the sidebar? Everything else seems to be working fine? [23:58] ...so when i press the up arrow key, i take a screenshot...:\ [23:59] bekks, utfans05 Still working on it. Just wanted to say that I appreciate your time and effort helping me with this
