| sha1sum | Prock: look it up. | 00:00 |
| Dr_Willis_ | there are koisk focused disrtos out there. and i recall gnome ages ago haveing a koisk mode | 00:00 |
| Prock | Dr_Willis_ running virtual machine and having the most possible resources free for the VM | 00:00 |
| Dr_Willis_ | Prock: i use openbox or jwm in my vms. | 00:00 |
| Jordan_U | Prock: Once you get to WMs like fluxbox, obenbox, ratpoison... they all use so few resources as to be negligable. | 00:01 |
| Dr_Willis_ | given how a browser is going tobe usiing 100x the resources of most of the wm's - i dont see the point in trying to trim down the wm | 00:01 |
| Prock | i use vmware 9.0.2 only, no others can do what i needd | 00:01 |
| sha1sum | Prock: at a certain point, just a few decorations will probably have an extremely minimal effect on your resources. | 00:01 |
| m1chael | http://dpaste.com/1143123/ # does this output indicate that this is a working dvd burner? this is a virtual machine running through virtualbox on a windows 8 host. this is a new laptop and i dont know if this is a dvd burner or not | 00:01 |
| Dr_Willis_ | !info twm | 00:01 |
| ubottu | twm (source: twm): Tab window manager. In component universe, is optional. Version 1:1.0.6-1 (raring), package size 106 kB, installed size 360 kB | 00:01 |
| m1chael | dev/dvdrw is not present, just /dev/cdrom and /dev/dvd | 00:02 |
| Prock | in talking for the host... the wm | 00:02 |
| Dr_Willis_ | m1chael: those are all normally links to the correct /dev/sr# device | 00:02 |
| subcool | neekz0r, ok - im back. | 00:02 |
| subcool | what was that command? | 00:02 |
| Runemoro | Hi, when I do X -configure, it tells me "Number of created screens does not match number of detected devices." | 00:03 |
| Runemoro | How can I fix this? | 00:03 |
| m1chael | Dr_Willis, so its possible to have a dvd burner and not have /dev/dvdrw links? | 00:03 |
| sha1sum | So this is going to suck either (a) watching my videos with subtitles, or (b) listening to audio through my laptop speakers because I can't get HDMI audio to work. | 00:03 |
| sha1sum | Working in OpenSUSE, not in Ubuntu. WTF? | 00:03 |
| supersecond | hello | 00:04 |
| Aww | Hello | 00:04 |
| subcool | sha1sum, hasnt HDMI like never worked? | 00:04 |
| Dr_Willis_ | m1chael: the /dev/dv* links are JUST soft links to the actual devie. to give them a easier to read name.. you can tell the burner app to use /dev/sr# or whatever the actual device is | 00:04 |
| subcool | i havent even bothered to try to fix it | 00:04 |
| supersecond | im good, how are you? | 00:04 |
| sha1sum | subcool: did for me on this same machine with an older kernel and older pretty much everything. | 00:05 |
| Dr_Willis_ | sha1sum: theres known bugs with hdmi out on some of the 13.04 kernels. I found posts to info on it at askubuntu.com and got mine working via using a newer testing kernel. (using 3.9.0-xxx right now) | 00:05 |
| subcool | mdadm: /dev/sdf1 is busy - skipping | 00:05 |
| subcool | -- wtf? | 00:05 |
| Dr_Willis_ | subcool: hdmi worked for me all throght beta. then broke when final came out.. its supposed tobe getting fixed.. but ive not seen an official patch/update yet | 00:06 |
| subcool | i questioned it years ago | 00:06 |
| subcool | havne bothered since | 00:06 |
| subcool | thats kinda scary stupid to know that its STILL not working | 00:06 |
| sha1sum | Dr_Willis_: yeah I'm running 3.8.0-19... Maybe I should upgrade. | 00:06 |
| SunStar | well there is a stupid bug with mouse pointers in XFCE that hasnt been addressed in over 8 years | 00:07 |
| Dr_Willis_ | its Been working for me for 2+ yrs subcool theres just a regression in the 3.8* kernel for some reason | 00:07 |
| subcool | oh- so im the only one with it still not working | 00:07 |
| subcool | well thats be nice to have | 00:07 |
| SunStar | thats not what he said | 00:07 |
| Dr_Willis_ | try the 3.9 kernel perhaps? | 00:07 |
| subcool | im on 3.2 - mine still doesnt work. well - atleast out of box | 00:07 |
| subcool | neekz0r, ? | 00:08 |
| === Guest97641 is now known as Ghargon | ||
| sha1sum | Yep just downloaded and trying 3.9 now | 00:09 |
| subcool | is anyone familiar with Raid 0? im trying to mount an OLD raid0 i have, but- running into issues. neekz0r has been helping me. but- we are kinda stumped ab it | 00:09 |
| === no is now known as Guest70976 | ||
| SunStar | you need to use the same kind of RAID controller | 00:10 |
| subcool | its a software raid | 00:10 |
| lorddelta | Nvm package re-install seems to have fixed. Guess something got stuck in a cache somewhere. | 00:10 |
| SDr_ | hi there, while doing init.d on a linode box configured to run IPV6, I've got: nginx: [emerg] bind() to [2a01:7e00::f03c:91ff:fe96:5b5f]:80 failed (99: Cannot assign requested address) ;after the box comes up, ifconfig admits to that address; any idea how I can delay init.d 's nginx starting up to the point of IPV6 assignment? | 00:10 |
| Aaron__ | anyone know how to do a duel boot install along side windows 8 on a "gaming rig"? | 00:10 |
| === b4dave is now known as b4dave_ | ||
| === AndroUser2 is now known as hashken | ||
| subcool | Aaron__, same as any dual boot | 00:11 |
| === SDr_ is now known as SDr | ||
| === hashken is now known as hashken1 | ||
| subcool | Aaron__, install win8, then install ubuntu | 00:11 |
| SunStar | with windows 8 you might need to run bootrepair after installing ubuntu | 00:11 |
| Aaron__ | subcool, I thought so too. but it just wiped my Windows 8 drive that I had all my programs on. | 00:11 |
| utfans05 | Aaron__: subcool is correct | 00:11 |
| sha1sum | Aaron__: Must have Windows installed or else you will not be able to access linux without a boot repair | 00:11 |
| SunStar | u didnt partition it right | 00:11 |
| subcool | Aaron__, dont let it use the entire disk | 00:11 |
| sha1sum | Aaron__: Yeah you probably got rid of the Windows partition. | 00:11 |
| Neldogz | Hey everyone, what is the proper way to setup dual screens in Ubuntu? I have 2 screens setup using Nvidia Proprietary drivers in TwinView config. Is this the correct option? | 00:12 |
| subcool | reinstall Win8, or recover what u lost.. | 00:12 |
| sha1sum | OK, trying 3.9. Wish me luck. | 00:12 |
| utfans05 | Aaron__: if you try to install windows it will remove the linux boot manager when it installs. you would then have to run a boot recovery cd and fix grub | 00:12 |
| subcool | Aaron__, reinstall ubuntu, use guided, but dont let it use the entire disk- there is a side by side option | 00:12 |
| Aaron__ | subcool, I just selected the option "Run along side windows 8" should I choose a different option? | 00:12 |
| subcool | You could install ubuntu first, but- you;l have to do a grub recovery | 00:12 |
| Dr_Willis_ | Neldogz: install nvidia drivers, reboot, run nvida-settings tool. enable twinview and tweak how you want, save to the xorg.conf , restart X server.. enjoy | 00:12 |
| === LordDeath__ is now known as LordDeath | ||
| Aaron__ | subcool, when I chose that opiton last time it wiped my entire D drive. | 00:13 |
| subcool | i havent installed with the new 13. - so idk, but i know not much has changed | 00:13 |
| === __d10n__ is now known as d10n | ||
| Prock | ok, next question, is there a way to... xinit vmware ... first then switch back to a tty then load a wm to where xinit put the app, do what i need with the wm then kill it and my xinit app not be destoryd | 00:13 |
| Neldogz | Thank you Dr_Willis, is the mouse pointer supposed to get stuck between screens? | 00:13 |
| m1chael | is running ubuntu in virtualbox ok? if you have hardware to burn | 00:13 |
| utfans05 | m1chael: yes it totally fine | 00:13 |
| Dr_Willis_ | Neldogz: i havent notice3d the issue. theres a bit of a 'resistance' i recall. | 00:14 |
| Neldogz | Thanks again Dr_willis | 00:14 |
| allanx0 | Hello after entering my pass to my desktop, it goes back to login details. i cant get passed the desktop. I created another username works ok except for my old one. Last things i did was just apt-get update but when i reboot and try to login, i couldnt get to pass the desktop. How to fix this issue? | 00:14 |
| FloodBot1 | !netsplit | 00:14 |
| Dr_Willis_ | m1chael: i run ubuntu in vbox on windows 7 - runs decently well | 00:14 |
| allanx0 | is this the solution? im afraid to do this.im using xubuntu desktop 64bit http://www.winmatrix.com/forums/index.php?/topic/30880-ubuntu-login-issue-solutions/ | 00:14 |
| SunStar | subcool, http://www.tomshardware.com/forum/262546-32-raid-rebuild | 00:14 |
| subcool | Aaron__, - i tihnk your just mis-clicking.. | 00:14 |
| ubottu | netsplit is when two IRC servers of the same network (like freenode) disconnect from each other, so users on one server stop seeing users on the other. If this is happening now, just relax and enjoy the show. See http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Netsplit | 00:14 |
| sha1sum | Dr_Willis_: yep, 3.9 fixed it. | 00:14 |
| Dr_Willis_ | allanx0: check in the problem users home directory. move/rename their .Xauthority file and see if they can then login | 00:14 |
| sha1sum | So weird. | 00:14 |
| Aaron__ | subcool, do you recommend a USB install or CD install? or should it matter? | 00:14 |
| sha1sum | Dr_Willis_: thanks! | 00:15 |
| === GillianOwens is now known as Gillian | ||
| subcool | doesnt matter | 00:15 |
| Dr_Willis_ | sha1sum: id been waiting for an official fix since release. got sick of waiting. ;) | 00:15 |
| === Dr_Willis_ is now known as Dr_Willis | ||
| Prock | is there a way to... xinit vmware ... first then switch back to a tty then load a wm to where xinit put the app, do what i need with the wm then kill it and my xinit app not be destoryd | 00:15 |
| subcool | Aaron__, thing is - you have to pay attention. | 00:15 |
| SunStar | did you get the link subcool? | 00:15 |
| subcool | SunStar, yes- thanks. im reading it | 00:16 |
| sha1sum | Dr_Willis: woohoo! now I can watch cheesy TV series with 7.1 surround. LOL | 00:16 |
| Dr_Willis | Prock: why dont you just make xinit load both? | 00:16 |
| Aaron__ | subcool, seems logical. | 00:16 |
| sha1sum | ahhh, the lengths to which we will go for mind-numbing entertainment. | 00:16 |
| sha1sum | *sigh* | 00:16 |
| Aaron__ | subcool, does USB or CD boot matter? | 00:16 |
| Prock | how would i do that Dr_Willis? | 00:16 |
| subcool | Aaron__, you say last time it wiped ur d drive. - no it doestn matter | 00:16 |
| Prock | oh and by the way twm is totally now what i want | 00:17 |
| Dr_Willis | Prock: i really dont see why you are worried about killing a tiny wm like jwm thats going to be using less resouces then anything else i can think of. | 00:17 |
| subcool | Aaron__, I would get a piece of paper and pen.. and write the stuff down. So when your booting- you dont get cluster/fluster when it all goes down | 00:17 |
| Aaron__ | subcool, I don't really care... the media drive just had video games on it, it'll just take a couple of hours to get that back. | 00:17 |
| Prock | totally NOT* | 00:18 |
| Aaron__ | subcool, thanks for the help though. I'll try to pay more attention this time. Last night I did the install at 4AM, probably not the best idea. | 00:18 |
| subcool | Aaron__, just write it down. | 00:18 |
| Prock | cause of hot keys the guest uses | 00:18 |
| Dr_Willis | http://xwinman.org/ a big list of a lot of window managers.. some are very tiny.. some are very old.. | 00:19 |
| subcool | Aaron__, to save yourself trouble, resinatll win8 first. | 00:19 |
| subcool | you can do a data recovery if you want to get ur stuff back if u want.. | 00:19 |
| subcool | Aaron__, idk what u lost | 00:19 |
| allanx0 | Dr_Willis: I have no .Xauthority . I did "locate .Xauthority" | 00:19 |
| subcool | C drive is usually SDA, D drive is usually Sdb | 00:19 |
| Dr_Willis | allanx0: its in your users home directory | 00:20 |
| subcool | Aaron__, ^^ | 00:20 |
| Dr_Willis | ls -l ~/.Xauthority | 00:20 |
| subcool | You can even create the partitions NOW | 00:20 |
| subcool | Aaron__, | 00:20 |
| m1chael | does RedoBackup or Clonezilla work with new computers running Windows8/uefi ? | 00:20 |
| Aaron__ | subcool, thanks again. I'm gonna try the guided side-by-side. | 00:20 |
| subcool | KEEP AN EYE ON IT Aaron__ | 00:20 |
| Dr_Willis | allanx0: a common issue is that file getting owned by root. | 00:20 |
| Aaron__ | subcool, if I don't end up using ubuntu is there an easy way to "remove" ubuntu from the side-by-side install? | 00:20 |
| subcool | Aaron__, format | 00:21 |
| Aaron__ | subcool, haha, alright... | 00:21 |
| Dr_Willis | Aaron__: if you just want to test ubuntu. try it in virtualbox perhaps. | 00:21 |
| subcool | Aaron__, Windows will be on NTFS, the ifrst partition. - ubuntu will be on the second partition. including a swapp partition | 00:21 |
| subcool | Aaron__, yeah- yoou could even use the LIVEUSB as its own installation | 00:21 |
| Aaron__ | Dr_Willis, subcool the only reason I'm installing ubuntu is because I like *nix systems for development. | 00:22 |
| subcool | Aaron__, setup a persistence space.. | 00:22 |
| allanx0 | Dr_Willis: no such file or directory | 00:22 |
| subcool | Aaron__, i can hear that. | 00:22 |
| Aaron__ | subcool, would you recommend a VM for dev instead of a native install for that case? | 00:22 |
| Dr_Willis | Aaron__: you can develop in vbox :) but you said you wanted to test the disrto out.. vbox is the cleanest way to do that. | 00:22 |
| subcool | AaaA, yeah- the Dr. is the best.. | 00:23 |
| Aaron__ | I've got 16gb ram and a ton of HD space. | 00:23 |
| subcool | Aaron__, VM wouldnt matter much at all | 00:23 |
| Dr_Willis | allanx0: could be some other setting file is crashing your desktop and kicking you back to the login screen. | 00:23 |
| Dr_Willis | allanx0: you could move all the various config files to some subdir and try logging in again | 00:24 |
| m1chael | ive got vbox running xubuntu on a laptop with 6gb ram and it seems totally fine | 00:24 |
| Aaron__ | Dr_Willis, would you use Vbox vs any other VM solution? | 00:24 |
| === twisted` is now known as twisted`_ | ||
| Dr_Willis | I basically only use vbox | 00:24 |
| Aaron__ | Dr_Willis, subcool thanks guys, I really appreciate the feedback. | 00:24 |
| subcool | Aaron__, i just converted to Vbox becaues of vm's horrible help chat. | 00:25 |
| allanx0 | Dr_Willis: what "various files" you mean? | 00:25 |
| Dr_Willis | allanx0: all the .config and other .* setting files in your home | 00:25 |

| mchlbhm | Using ubuntu 12.04 and wifi won't load any pages. Took me three tries to log into freenode. Anyone willing to help me with this issue? | 00:27 |
| Dr_Willis | mchlbhm: the networkis having issues right now with netsplits and stuff | 00:27 |
| subcool | SunStar, thanks. but- live cd isnt doing it | 00:27 |
| SunStar | subcool, use Redo Backup & Restore | 00:28 |
| SunStar | or clonezilla | 00:28 |
| SunStar | redo is easier | 00:28 |
| mchlbhm | Dr_Willis, so freenode is having troubles? | 00:29 |
| m1chael | does RedoBackup or Clonezilla work with new computers running Windows8/uefi ? | 00:29 |
| SunStar | redo works with pretty much everything | 00:30 |
| subcool | SunStar, i dont have the space to pull the data off. | 00:30 |

| mchlbhm | Dr_Willis, I guess I dont understand what that has to do with me not being able to open any web pages | 00:31 |
| Dr_Willis | alabala: login as your user. on the console and look at the actual users files.. you are using an encrypted home | 00:31 |

| Dr_Willis | allanx0: no.. dont TOUCH those. | 00:32 |
| allanx0 | Ok | 00:32 |

| p7ank5te7 | I'm trying to change my hard drive out on my home server, which is just a single disk, and trying to go to a Raid 1, but I'm not understanding how I can do this(I've read over a few different tutorials, but being a linux n00b it still doesn't quite click). Can anyone give me a few pointers? Also to top it off, when the server was built, it appears that only 2 partitions were made, 1 being the | 00:39 |
| p7ank5te7 | root( / ) and 1 being the swap. Does that pose additional problems | 00:39 |
| Dr_Willis | change the hd out? You are using raid with 1 hard drive?> | 00:41 |
| subcool | is anyone familiar with recreating a raid0? | 00:41 |
| utfans05 | p7ank5te7: no thats typical for having /root and the swap being on 2 different partitions | 00:42 |
| p7ank5te7 | Dr_WillisI'm currently using as a standalone HD, and I have acquired 2 new hard drives and want to move to them but have them as raid 1. | 00:42 |
| subcool | every time i do something i get mdadm: /dev/sdf1 is busy - skipping | 00:43 |
| utfans05 | are you going to do it as a software raid or an actual hardware raid? | 00:43 |
| allanx0 | Dr_Willis: Got it! Thanks :) sudo chmod u+w /home/user did the trick :) | 00:43 |
| p7ank5te7 | I am missing the /boot partition from the guides though which is what is confusing me I guess utfans05. | 00:43 |
| p7ank5te7 | utfans05: is that for me or subcool? | 00:43 |
| Dr_Willis | allanx0: thats very weird that the permissions got changed | 00:44 |
| utfans05 | p7ank5te7: so there area few ways you can set it up, you can have /root be one partition /home be another and then a 3rd for your swap file. | 00:44 |
| utfans05 | it was for both | 00:44 |
| subcool | utfans05, mines software | 00:44 |
| subcool | utfans05, its an old raid i had 6 years ago- im just trying to rebuild it - mount it and pull its info. it shouldnt be corrupt. im just too noob at this. | 00:44 |
| allanx0 | Dr_Willis: Yeah after i apt-get and upgrade. I guess i will not apt-get and upgrade then lol | 00:44 |
| p7ank5te7 | utfans05: Well, I'm not sure what to do. I have the bios which is capable of doing the raid, but heard it's better to have linux handle it? | 00:45 |
| allanx0 | Dr_Willis: Thanks :) | 00:45 |

| treanet | pfff reboot | 00:47 |
| p7ank5te7 | utfans05, isn't that for new setups though? | 00:48 |
| Warfar | if i want to install linux on a windows pc, it it better to make a new partion or install it on top of windows | 00:48 |
| utfans05 | p7ank5te7: yes, arent you going from one drive to 2 totally different drives? | 00:49 |
| utfans05 | Warfar: there is an option in the installer to install it side by side | 00:50 |
| Warfar | oh i'm using linux mint | 00:50 |
| utfans05 | Warfar: you may want to ask in the mint channel. | 00:50 |
| === BTCOxygen|1 is now known as Guest71817 | ||
| p7ank5te7 | utfans05, yes but I was hoping to clone the original os drive to the raid, versus re-install and rebuilding of the server | 00:51 |
| utfans05 | well shit.. apparently there isnt one... lol | 00:51 |
| utfans05 | p7ank5te7: you can install both drives and then move the data to them. | 00:51 |
| p7ank5te7 | lol.. so my best bet in the world is to say f-it and just reinstall from scratch and rebuild? | 00:52 |
| utfans05 | p7ank5te7: basically install a new linux image and then move over the data that you need onto those drives | 00:52 |

| melow01 | I was setting up Wordpress on localhost on Ubuntu, deleted some users in MySQL and now Chrome won't start... any thoughts? | 03:09 |
| rosco_y | has anyone moved up to 13.04, and either regrets the move, or thinks it's the best thing since ____ ____ | 03:10 |

| Dexi | Guys am I doing something wrong or is nickserv offline? | 03:10 |
| SonikkuAmerica | Dexi: You're all good AFAIk | 03:11 |
| SonikkuAmerica | Dexi: Are you using Quassel? | 03:11 |
| kostkon_ | melow01, coincidental? try running it in the terminal and check for any error messages etc | 03:11 |
| melow01 | Dexi, usually I get a prompt to login but I didn't today... odd | 03:11 |
| rabelais | wilee-nilee: sad, you're right...apparently that parameter is only available on xserver versions 1.8 or later and apparently lucid is holding strong on 1.7.5 | 03:12 |
| wilee-nilee | Dexi, The IRC had some problems earlier, seems okay from my end now. | 03:12 |
| melow01 | kostkon, never used it from the terminal but I'll tinker... | 03:12 |
| rosco_y | SonikkuAmerica: ty, I'll back off on seeking out opinions.. I've been running LTS, but have recently become disenchanted with it, and am trying to determine if I'd be doing the right thing by upgrading..... | 03:12 |
| SonikkuAmerica | rosco_y: If you like upgrading every 6 moths and having the latest stuff... | 03:13 |
| melow01 | kostkon, I think I may have deleted the user for my hostname | 03:13 |
| SonikkuAmerica | rosco_y: And bees and butterfiles while we're at it :) | 03:13 |
| melow01 | kostkon, I didn't realize Chrome used MySQL but I suppose I should'v'e known... | 03:13 |
| rosco_y | SonikkuAmerica: I really have enjoyed how solid LTS has been, but a recent kernel update has my cpu begging for mercy now | 03:13 |
| kostkon_ | melow01, oh. interesting | 03:14 |
| rosco_y | I'm sure it'll be fixed eventually, but right now it's pretty frustrating | 03:14 |
| root | lawl im user root on freenode | 03:14 |
| rosco_y | so I'm trying to "look before I leap" | 03:14 |
| friedg | someone should make a bot that scans wikipedia for the answer to everything | 03:15 |
| rosco_y | maybe I should be patient for a couple of weeks or more. And again, maybe it's time to move on | 03:15 |
| SonikkuAmerica | rosco_y: Move on? | 03:15 |
| melow01 | kostkon, I deleted SingltonLock and when I launched Chrome, it recreated a new SingletonLock symlinked to another hostname | 03:15 |
| rosco_y | SonikkuAmerica: from 12.04 to 13.04 (I wasn't a fan of 12.10 | 03:15 |
| SonikkuAmerica | rosco_y: Kubuntu's default layout in 12.XX was atrocious. 13.04 is quieter, more energetic. | 03:16 |
| rosco_y | SonikkuAmerica: can you explain that a bit? | 03:17 |
| melow01 | So, if I deleted some users in MySQL, should I be concerned that I'll run into more issues with Ubuntu? | 03:17 |
| SonikkuAmerica | rosco_y: Check this first of all: http://i1-news.softpedia-static.com/images/news2/Kubuntu-12-04-LTS-Screenshot-Tour-2.jpg <<< So gloomy, so gray.... | 03:18 |
| rosco_y | I have read people's opinions reporting 13.04 to be rather solid | 03:18 |
| rosco_y | SonikkuAmerica: ty! | 03:18 |
| rosco_y | wait, that's just a picture of a desktop, what's the point? | 03:19 |
| SonikkuAmerica | The new Kubuntu 13.04 wallpaper: http://ubuntuone.com/3W0R4FhzKMC8aECIj3QD1O <<< Comforting, energy-emitting (don't turn the carbon tax people loose on me) | 03:19 |
| SonikkuAmerica | rosco_y: It's just a compare-and-contrast I'm doing. What are you really looking for? | 03:19 |
| bleemoo | Has network printing gone away in 13.04? My computer is no longer able to connect to my networked printer, and there does not appear to be any way for me to add it manually. | 03:20 |
| thufir_ | is this a password problem with firefox sync? I reset the password, but the sync log still shows errors: http://pastebin.com/M45AjprD | 03:20 |
| SonikkuAmerica | bleemoo: Hit Alt-F2 and type [ system-config-printer ]. | 03:20 |
| rosco_y | SonikkuAmerica: :) Right now my problem is that a number of my processes seem to go into a "disk sleep" state, putting a processor into a 100% used state. | 03:21 |
| rosco_y | I'm thinking of upgrading to get back my performance, but I don't want to upgrade into a really unstable environment | 03:21 |
| rosco_y | I'm trying to finish a project, so it's a double-edged knife, as they say | 03:22 |
| SonikkuAmerica | rosco_y: The heuristic we measure by is as follows: Once a release hits the main repos (usually on April 25th for XX.04 or October 25th for XX.10), it's stable. End of story. | 03:22 |
| rosco_y | on the one hand, I'd like to upgrade ot see if the CPU problems go away, on the other, I don't want to get into a situation where I have to reboot three times a day to keep the system going. | 03:23 |
| SonikkuAmerica | rosco_y: You can run [ do-release-upgrade ] with no arguments until it says "No new release found" and you'll know you have the latest stable version. | 03:23 |
| SonikkuAmerica | rosco_y: You can run [ do-release-upgrade ] with no arguments until it says "No new release found" and you'll know you have the latest stable version. | 03:23 |
| rosco_y | SonikkuAmerica: right now I'm running 12.04 LTS, I was under the impression that this would be likely to be stable, and it has, but now I'm thinking of upgrading | 03:24 |
| SonikkuAmerica | 13.04 is much faster; what's your CPU? | 03:25 |
| rosco_y | It's an AMD ~3.2Gz dual processor of some sort or another....I don't know exactly | 03:26 |
| rosco_y | I've got 8 gb RAM. | 03:26 |
| rosco_y | it's been really sweet for what I do... | 03:26 |
| rosco_y | a recent kernel update has a problem in it, (in my opinnion), and I've read some on the net related to the type of problem I'm having | 03:27 |
| SonikkuAmerica | rosco_y: I see. I hate to break the convo, but it's 11:30 PM here. Gotta go! | 03:27 |

| James_Epp | I am having the most terrible time trying to mount an iso atm: sudo mount -o loop -t iso9660 ubuntu.iso (abbreviated here, i386 desktop 12.04) | 03:30 |
| DarwinSurvivor | James_Epp: are you getting an error? | 03:31 |
| James_Epp | first I did sudo su, navigated to the directory containing the .iso, and performed mount -o loop -t iso9660 ubuntu.iso /mnt/ubuntu and I get mount: wrong fs type, bad operation, bad superblock on /dev/loop1, missing codepage or helper program, or other error | 03:32 |
| SmallFry | ugh | 03:33 |
| leptone | i cant register with the nickserv... | 03:33 |
| leptone | whats going on? | 03:33 |
| SmallFry | nickserv had some troubles earlier | 03:33 |
| SmallFry | the entire Freenode Chanserv and nickserv went down | 03:33 |
| James_Epp | leptone: Sometimes when I reboot my machines it resolves it. timeouts of some kind on all my devices. | 03:33 |
| James_Epp | DarwinSurvivor: I am wondering if it is that I am using the wrong filetype? Perhaps the filesystem I am specifying is incorrect? I believe it was correct for older versions of ubuntu in 9/10 | 03:34 |

| James_Epp | ^^I would want the answer to this query as well---been bugging me 5ever. | 03:35 |
| James_Epp | Does anyone know what the filetype is for the ubuntu 12.04 desktop i386 iso? Apparently it is not iso9660 | 03:38 |
| lacy | umm... | 03:38 |
| yofun | James_Epp: what do you mean? | 03:38 |
| yofun | rhe name of the file? | 03:38 |
| James_Epp | mount -o loop -t iso9660 ubuntu.iso /mnt/ubuntu Does not work. | 03:38 |
| yofun | ah | 03:39 |
| James_Epp | The only difference in this screenshot is the use of temp.iso instead of ubuntu.iso | 03:39 |
| SmallFry | hm. when you guys finish with james' problem, I've got a thing to tinker with also | 03:39 |
| James_Epp | http://i.imgur.com/fBlATYz.png | 03:39 |
| sudokode | James_Epp: file temp.iso | 03:41 |

| === root is now known as woo | ||

| James_Epp | temp.iso = ubuntu 12.04 desktop i386.iso | 03:41 |
| === woo is now known as root | ||
| sudokode | well, substitute the name. do whatever | 03:41 |

| === root is now known as woo | ||
| === ezio is now known as Guest3469 | ||
| sudokode | hm. that doesn't surprise me. let me check something.. | 03:41 |
| James_Epp | TY in advance. | 03:41 |
| sudokode | ah yes. data.. x86 boot sector... | 03:41 |
| sudokode | not gonna get much out of file magic apparently | 03:41 |
| yofun | how would i mount a ftp server as a folder? | 03:42 |
| yofun | like /home/yofun/ftp | 03:42 |
| sudokode | anyway, I assume it actually is an iso9660 file | 03:42 |
| James_Epp | Nevermind my issue. I have an alternative I will cook up. Can we talk about yofun's? | 03:42 |
| sudokode | yofun: I'm gonna take a wild guess and say there's an ftpfs fuse module | 03:43 |
| sudokode | but that's simply because everything has a fuse module | 03:43 |
| James_Epp | yofun: sudokode: I have tinkered with it myself, but never figured it out. | 03:43 |
| sudokode | http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/FTPFS | 03:43 |
| sudokode | I've heard of sshfs and sftp, so that doesn't surprise me | 03:44 |
| James_Epp | As for commands, it has always bugged me >.< | 03:44 |
| sudokode | I assume you just need to install the proper package to get the stuff for fuse and then mount <host> /mnt | 03:45 |
| sudokode | there may be a different syntax there. I'm sure google knows it | 03:45 |
| sudokode | may need -t ftpfs or some such | 03:45 |
| yofun | http://hartvig.de/2009/howto-mount-a-ftp-drive-in-ubuntu/ ? | 03:46 |
| yofun | might work | 03:46 |
| sudokode | that sounds about right | 03:46 |
| sudokode | says 2009, so may not work as expected, but it's worth a try | 03:46 |
| thufir_ | how do you know why a sync failed? all I see is that it will try again after trying to obtain lock. http://askubuntu.com/questions/294222/firefox-aboutsync-log-gives-error-sync-failed | 03:46 |
| James_Epp | sudokode: Do you know how to edit the config files so the mount occurs on reboot? | 03:47 |
| sudokode | thufir_: Exception: Could not acquire lock. Label: "service.js: sync". No traceback available | 03:47 |
| sudokode | that's probably a good start | 03:47 |
| sudokode | maybe delete that file if you're sure there's not a sync currently taking place | 03:47 |
| sudokode | or rather, find the lock file and delete that | 03:48 |
| sudokode | don't delete that actual file | 03:48 |
| sudokode | maybe I'll learn to read some day | 03:48 |
| thufir_ | hmm | 03:48 |
| sudokode | but that seems to be where the sync borks | 03:49 |
| thufir_ | is it possibe to see whether a sync is occuring? | 03:49 |
| sudokode | that file is locked by something | 03:49 |
| sudokode | not really. no doubt this is all internal to firefox besides what logs you can find | 03:49 |
| thufir_ | which file is locked? can I use ps to see what's locking it? | 03:49 |
| === diiphantom is now known as Catholic77 | ||
| sudokode | a lock file is pretty arbitrary | 03:49 |
| thufir_ | maybe I'll just logout? login again? | 03:50 |
| sudokode | umm. you might be able to, depending on how that happens | 03:50 |
| sudokode | no | 03:50 |
| sudokode | lsof service.js | 03:50 |
| sudokode | better yet, find the actual lock file | 03:50 |
| sudokode | (hint: it may be a dotfile) | 03:50 |
| thufir_ | hidden .services.js in home/thufir/.mozilla/ somewhere, then run lof services.js on it? | 03:51 |
| sudokode | usually a lock file is something like /path/to/.foo.ext.lck | 03:51 |
| sudokode | it varies wildly | 03:52 |
| XMLnewbi | so I just checked my routher logs, im getting tons of errors, **SYN Flood** 192.168.2.2, 59614->> 49.144.199.47, 51413 (from WAN Outbound) looks like 6 errors a second | 03:52 |
| sudokode | but just doing lsof /path/to/service.js might give you some idea | 03:53 |
| XMLnewbi | can some one ddos and comcast DHCP residental connection? my internet has be insainly slow the last few days | 03:53 |
| sudokode | (the normal file in this case, not the lock file) | 03:53 |
| sudokode | someone can ddos anything.. the question is why would they ddos you | 03:54 |
| thufir_ | sudokode: ok. I'm still looking, but it gives me something to look into :) | 03:54 |
| sudokode | thufir_: find is useful in this case. always a good opportunity to learn how to use it | 03:55 |
| sudokode | perhaps find ~ -name service.js | 03:55 |
| thufir_ | ah, I was trying locate | 03:56 |
| sudokode | locate is fine. as long as your db is updated | 03:56 |
| sudokode | it'll be faster, but you need to make sure everything is indexed beforehand | 03:57 |
| sudokode | find is probably more useful for situations like this | 03:57 |
| Aethysius | My printer isn't working with my system; the job gets sent to it, but then it disappears, and doesn't get printed. | 03:58 |

| sudokode | I hate cups. haaaatttteee it | 03:58 |
| Aethysius | Is there an alternative? | 03:58 |
| sudokode | not really | 03:58 |
| sudokode | best thing you can do is deal with cups and get an hp printer | 03:59 |
| sudokode | hp has been exceptional when it comes to producing linux drivers | 03:59 |
| Aethysius | I like my brother MFC. | 03:59 |
| sudokode | brother is nice too. nothing against them | 03:59 |
| sudokode | especially their laserjets | 04:00 |
| sudokode | they do have decent drivers | 04:00 |
| sudokode | but hp is still ahead of them in coverage, I'd say | 04:00 |
| sudokode | epson.. not too far behind... | 04:00 |
| sudokode | lexmark.. forget it | 04:00 |

| chiluk | no. | 04:21 |
| chiluk | don'tl | 04:21 |
| chiluk | you probably created a partition directly on the device. | 04:21 |
| chiluk | although mdadm -R is pretty much a force it to work kind of thing | 04:22 |
| chiluk | probably not what you want. | 04:22 |
| subcool | got me- | 04:23 |
| subcool | couple guys were helping, im super super noob to this | 04:23 |
| subcool | making this 7 years ago was my frist attempt and last | 04:23 |
| subcool | im just trying to recover what i can. | 04:23 |
| subcool | OMG- i mounted!!! | 04:23 |
| chiluk | get your stuff off as soon as possible. | 04:24 |
| chiluk | hopefully it's readable. | 04:24 |
| chiluk | in the future don't put anything on a raid 0 you can't live without. | 04:24 |
| chiluk | hard drives have just gotten more unreliable | 04:24 |
| casual_llama | I recently had a computer freeze where I could move my mouse, hear the sound from a YouTube clip I was watching, but otherwise everything was frozen. | 04:25 |
| subcool | chiluk, yea- i know.. | 04:25 |
| casual_llama | I could not drop into a terminal with ctrl+alt+f2 and the like. | 04:25 |
| subcool | im not sure what i can get from it- i wasnt expecting it to mount | 04:25 |
| subcool | this is .. odd | 04:25 |
| casual_llama | Is there a way to recover from that sort of a freeze? I'm not sure what to do other than REISUB and hope my work is saved or remains recoverable. | 04:26 |
| subcool | i tihnk im locked out of it- im not allowed in the home folder | 04:26 |
| subcool | but- it says its about half full | 04:26 |
| chiluk | try sudo su - | 04:26 |

| subcool | kdesudo worked... | 04:38 |
| mk | I don't really like the idea of you using a WM as root, but sudo startx is basically what you want. You gotta kill X first though. | 04:39 |
| subcool | nah- i dont wanna do that. | 04:39 |
| mk | Or you could kdesudo the FM | 04:39 |

| wilee-nilee | !uefi | hemangpatel see this wiki | 05:18 |
| ubottu | hemangpatel see this wiki: UEFI is a specification that defines a software interface between an operating system and platform firmware, it is meant as a replacement for the BIOS. For information on how to set up and install Ubuntu and its derivatives on UEFI machines please read https://help.ubuntu.com/community/UEFI | 05:18 |
| kunji | hemangpatel: I'm not familiar with that laptop, so I don't really know. Should be installable on UEFI, though it might be a strugle. On my MSI GX60 there was a legacy mode, so I haven't bothered trying hard for the UEFI install yet (the live USB would boot to a blank screen in UEFI boot mode). | 05:18 |
| kunji | wilee-nilee: in that page you linked, I don't think the part about the cases when Ubuntu must be installed in EFI mode are entirely accurate right? Is that actually for being on the same disk rather than the same system, or if you want to use the same boot method? | 05:23 |
| wilee-nilee | kunji, Not sure to be honest I have not had to mess with a uefi. The options are attached to manufacturers having some different tweaks so it is a bit of test and find the working options. | 05:25 |
| kunji | wilee-nilee: Hmm, ok, because I have windows in UEFI, and Ubuntu in Legacy, I switch my BIOS between UEFI and Legacy boot modes to pick what I'm going to boot rather than doing it in GRUB. I don't have issues with GPT vs. MBR for sure because my installs are on different drives. This situation is technically contrary to what is in that paragraph, but I think most people will want to use GRUB to pick rather than editing the BIOS each time | 05:28 |
| capinjack | after an instal of deft7.2(Ubuntu / Lubuntu ) I'm getting an out of range signal on the monitor. I'vr tried following instructions to update the nvidia drivers without luck and would appreciate help | 05:29 |
| nightdemon666 | indeed, ... does windows not boot at all in legacy mode? | 05:29 |
| wilee-nilee | kunji, I have not seen anyone having to edit the bios just to boot either OS. | 05:29 |
| Komplex | i'm to lazy to switch between em... :P grub ftw | 05:30 |
| nightdemon666 | capinjack, it seems you will have to develop a custom xorg config file. | 05:30 |
| wilee-nilee | I believe there are chainloads two boot partitions in a uefi install I think | 05:30 |
| kunji | wilee-nilee: I do, well, it's the consequence of doing one Legacy and one UEFI boot, unless GRUB can go back to boot UEFI with the BIOS in Legacy mode. | 05:30 |
| Synthpop | any staff on i forgot my passwd | 05:31 |
| wilee-nilee | kunji, Makes me glad not have to mess with it, maybe sooner or later. ;) | 05:31 |
| wilee-nilee | Synthpop, #freenode can help you. | 05:32 |
| kunji | wilee-nilee: Well, that's how I'm in this situation, too lazy to get my UEFI install to work XD | 05:32 |
| capinjack | @nightdemon666, any advice on where to look for instructions on that? | 05:32 |
| kunji | wilee-nilee: I'll probably go after it after I finish my thesis, another 1-2 weeks I think. | 05:32 |
| nightdemon666 | capinjack, im sure the great google can help provide direction on that, but in the end you will have to be prepared to work in the command line. | 05:33 |
| capinjack | I think I can access to the command line | 05:34 |
| nightdemon666 | capinjack, what version of ubuntu are you running? | 05:34 |
| capinjack | nightdemon666, it's Deft7.2 distro, the same thing happens with the latest (12.04?) of Ubuntu | 05:35 |
| kunji | With an out of range signal on the monitor? Maybe using the rescue mode so the graphics never start? He said Deft 7.2, might be a derivative? | 05:36 |
| capinjack | I'm trying the xfconfig now | 05:36 |
| nightdemon666 | i must ask... whats the Deft distro? | 05:37 |
| nightdemon666 | i could look it up, but im watching george carlin... | 05:38 |
| kunji | Oh, hmm, a forensics distro, interesting, but not supported here. Latest Ubuntu is 13.04... since you're mixing that up with a version a year older... are you SURE it's the same? Might want to actually bust out your Ubuntu copy if you want support here -_- | 05:38 |
| capinjack | Deft has forensics apps included | 05:39 |
| capinjack | Kunji, I can do that, I have it on another drive | 05:39 |
| === wicked is now known as zz_wicked | ||
| === Symmetri1 is now known as Symmetria | ||
| kunji | capinjack: I wish I knew more about fixing the problem though, I'm unfortunately kinda useless on this one. I just thought you should know the policy on support so that other people can help out. In retrospect what I typed sounds a bit mean, sorry about that. | 05:41 |
| nightdemon666 | i see... you will need to create a custon xorg config file from a distro that DOES have working monitor signals. what i do is, press ctrl+alt+F1. this puts me in a terminal that will work for this type of task. then i type sudo service (kdm, gdm, lxdm, lightdm [i dont know what desktop manager is running on the Deft Distro (youre goingot make me look all this up arent you???)]) stop. then sudo Xorg -configure | 05:43 |
| prince_jammys | he can echo /etc/init.d/*dm | 05:44 |
| nightdemon666 | i will reiterate this better in a moment after i look up deft distro... | 05:44 |
| capinjack | no problem, kuji, I have a feeling the fix will be the same, so I learn, no biggy. On the Ubuntu drive I have an 8.1 distro, which can't be upgraded, the 13.04 fails back to that when left to boot from the hard drive. SO maybe I can create the xconfig there? | 05:44 |
| nightdemon666 | capinjack, it looks like it uses lxdm as desktop manager no? | 05:45 |
| capinjack | that sounds familiar | 05:46 |
| capinjack | sorry, nightdemon, I switched gears to 'pure' Ubuntu to stay with the channel, same story with 13.04 and my hardware | 05:46 |
| nightdemon666 | this is what i would do, i would run a live version of ubuntu on a flash drive. then i would type ctrl+alt+F2, then i would type sudo service lightdm stop. then type sudo Xorg -configure. the file should have ended up in the ubuntu home folder. it may be simpler to just re-enter graphical mode by typing sudo service lightdm start. then enter the home folder. mount your deft distro, and move the xorg.conf file from the | 05:49 |
| nightdemon666 | oh, just saw what you typed a moment ago, same would or "should" apply to 13.04 | 05:50 |
| capinjack | thanks, I'll give that a whirl | 05:50 |
| nightdemon666 | conceptually, you can do this a number of different ways, but creating a "known working configuration" xorg.conf file and placing it into the /etc/X11 file folder of your distro failing to properly display, generally does the trick. | 05:52 |
| nightdemon666 | just BEWARE that when you do that, and the configuration in the generated file doesnt work for some reason, you WILL be likely operating in command line mode trying to recover. how off is the display in Deft? | 05:55 |
| capinjack | There's no display, the monitor reports out of range, checked with a 2nd mon, same msg | 05:56 |
| Geoffrey2 | would changing Ubuntu's desktop manager to xfce cause it not to detect a new version release? | 06:00 |
| nightdemon666 | i see... but the same monitor, and same hardware does work with previous version of ubuntu? | 06:01 |
| capinjack | yes, 8.1 | 06:01 |
| nightdemon666 | um, ubuntu 8.1??? | 06:01 |
| capinjack | sorry, that's correct | 06:02 |
| Geoffrey2 | because I can't get this to admit version 13.04 is available... | 06:02 |
| qin | Geoffrey2: are you LTS? | 06:02 |
| Geoffrey2 | version installed is 12.10.... | 06:02 |
| nightdemon666 | thats a good question qin... i think if you are on an LTS release, only LTS releases are shown available when they are... | 06:03 |
| Geoffrey2 | ok, any manual way to tell it to go fetch? | 06:04 |
| Guest4931 | how can i determine the size of my monitor in inches? technically i could go out and buy a ruler... but it's 2am. | 06:04 |
| Ari-Yang | I'm on 12.10 and when I check for updates and after software is updated it notifies me of 13.04 | 06:04 |
| qin | Geoffrey2: sudo apt-get update; do-release-upgrade; ? | 06:04 |
| nightdemon666 | other than that, i think perhaps installing xfce probably did mess the upgrade thing up. if you really need the upgrade that bad, then sudo apt-get distro-upgrade i think is the command... but you may be upset because it doesnt prompt you when it should. i suppose you ran an update correct? | 06:04 |
| qin | Geoffrey2: or maybe first: update and sudo apt-get dist-upgrade | 06:05 |
| Geoffrey2 | I did the update, upgrade....it just brought all the files up to date.... | 06:05 |
| nightdemon666 | oh, do-release-upgrade does the same as distro-upgrade? didnt know that... anyway, i usually steer people from doing an upgrade like that because it tends to be problematic. clean installs seem to work more reliably, even though the do-release-upgrade "should" work. | 06:06 |
| qin | Geoffrey2: and: lsb_release; says what? | 06:06 |
| capinjack | I can't update 8.1, after an install of 13.04 I get the same signal display out of range error. Trying to get up to speed on this | 06:06 |
| Geoffrey2 | qin, No LSB modules are available. | 06:07 |
| nightdemon666 | capinjack, have you created that custom xorg.config file from a working distro on that hardware yet? | 06:07 |
| qin | Geoffrey2: ment: lsb_release -a, sorry | 06:08 |

| qin | iderik: urxvt | 06:10 |
| rusty0101 | If you're running an lts version, you want to check to see if notifications of new ubuntu versions is ste for long-term support versions. If it is, 12.04 is the current lts release. If you switch it to For Any new version, it will let you know of the next version up from the version you are running. Stepping through release after release till you get to the current release of 13.04 | 06:10 |

| leptone | how do i format a pen drive from terminal | 06:11 |

| === Guest99435 is now known as resure | ||
| nightdemon666 | Geoffrey2, hate to say, but a clean install would be the simple solution, though not a solution to the ultimate problem... the os "should" prompt to upgrade to new release when one becomes available in the repos. | 06:13 |
| Ari-Yang | Geoffrey2, is it important for you to get a notification of a new version? are you going to upgrade to it? | 06:14 |
| Geoffrey2 | yes, a clean install is probably the way to go...was just hoping to avoid the extra steps of downloading and burning the ISO to disc..... | 06:15 |
| Ari-Yang | Geoffrey2, why not use a usb? | 06:16 |
| nightdemon666 | this is why i stick to the lts releases. i have in the past settles with a non-lts release due to stability issues (i know, a non-lts release being stable!?) | 06:16 |
| nightdemon666 | but thats just because im lazy and i dont want to 1) deal with the headache of the upgrade process not working as it is suppose to, and 2) having to back up everything and loading a flash drive with the latest release :/ | 06:18 |
| rusty0101 | you can specify what level of updates you get notified about in /etc/update-manager/release-upgrades. If you have it set for LTS, you won't be notified of 12.10 or 13.04 unless you change it. You also can't install from an LTS release into a non-LTS release if you have it set for LTS only. (exception, clean install.) | 06:18 |

| Geoffrey2 | ok, something is messed up networking wise...where do I find the hosts file? | 06:34 |
| shape | prince_jammys: qin: awesome! thanks! | 06:35 |
| prince_jammys | shape: from ''man cd'' Copy SOURCE to DEST, or multiple SOURCE(s) to DIRECTORY | 06:35 |
| prince_jammys | err, man cp | 06:35 |
| prince_jammys | anyway, so, yes. | 06:35 |
| shape | prince_jammys: Of course I did that, but I was afraid because it's dir1 dir2 dir3 and says SOURCE to DEST, I thought it would copy dir1 to dir2 and then dir2 to dir3. that was my confusion | 06:36 |
| prince_jammys | nah, your case is sources to directory, but I know what you mean. | 06:37 |
| shape | prince_jammys: basically what I wanted to make sure was the last path is where to copy, so i know how cp works :) | 06:37 |

| Neozonz | anyway I can have a script run in background? | 06:47 |
| kunji | Geoffrey2: dist-upgrade isn't even supposed to upgrade to the next release is it? I thought it should be sudo do-release upgrade, no? | 06:47 |
| lonnie | What version are you running? | 06:48 |
| kunji | Neozonz: stufftorunscript& The & should background the task. | 06:48 |
| Neozonz | kunji, thx | 06:49 |
| Neozonz | kunji, tried that, and it looked like it worked but then I'm seeing output on my screen now :( | 06:50 |
| pZombie_reg | when installing something from source, does it equal installing the standard and the devel package ? | 06:50 |
| pZombie_reg | like if i install openssl from source, do i need to apt-get the developer package still ? | 06:51 |
| netlar | So Ubuntu is in charge of Unity? | 06:53 |
| auronandace | netlar: canonical is yes | 06:54 |
| kunji | Neozonz: Umm, output would still go to the screen if you're writing to standard out, but it should be backgrounded and you should be able to do other things in that terminal. Commenting out where you write output is probably the easiest way. Or you could find out to write to standard error for that script language, or to write out to a file. Alternatively you could pipe the output to null. | 06:59 |
| kunji | Neozonz: I don't remember exactly, maybe something like: script > /dev/null & | 07:00 |
| rusty0101 | Neozonz: to redirect output so you don't see it, use something like 'scriptname & > /dev/null' to also redirect any error messages use something like 'scriptname > /dev/null 2>&1' | 07:00 |
| MonkeyDust | netlar ubuntu and unity are product names, canonical is the enterprise behind the products | 07:01 |
| Gaulois94 | Hello | 07:01 |
| Gaulois94 | In my portable computer HP pavilion g6, who use windows 8 and UEFI bios I can't create a live USB ubuntu 12.04 | 07:02 |
| Neozonz | thanks! | 07:02 |
| netlar | MonkeyDust: Ok, thanks, canonical is a non profit company? | 07:02 |
| Gaulois94 | I'm searching from bootx64.efi but it doesn't here !!! | 07:02 |
| Gaulois94 | where can I download this efi file? | 07:03 |
| MonkeyDust | netlar no, a regular company | 07:03 |
| Gaulois94 | And where should be ? | 07:03 |
| netlar | MonkeyDust: huh ok, so they try to make money out of this stuff | 07:03 |
| kunji | Gaulois94: Should be part of the 64 bit version of Ubuntu, no? | 07:03 |
| Khaleel78 | Hi, when I attempt to use the change directory command to any directory it gives me other than "~" it gives me the ">" sign | 07:03 |
| MonkeyDust | netlar try to, but not with a lot of success | 07:04 |
| Gaulois94 | Arf... | 07:04 |
| netlar | MonkeyDust: I kinda thought they were this altruistic company | 07:04 |
| Gaulois94 | kunji : Yes, I DL a 32 bits ubuntu | 07:04 |
| Gaulois94 | and not a 64 bits x) (For me, a 64 bits computer run finely a 32 bits OS) | 07:05 |
| kunji | Gaulois94: I don't think the 32 bit one works with UEFI, so that could be why | 07:05 |
| kunji | !UEFI | 07:05 |
| ubottu | UEFI is a specification that defines a software interface between an operating system and platform firmware, it is meant as a replacement for the BIOS. For information on how to set up and install Ubuntu and its derivatives on UEFI machines please read https://help.ubuntu.com/community/UEFI | 07:05 |
| Gaulois94 | I even see that, but I download the wrong iso x) | 07:06 |
| Phase4 | kunji, it won't, 32bit uefi was only implemented by macs | 07:06 |
| Phase4 | Gaulois94, it should boot, but not under UEFI | 07:06 |
| kunji | Phase4: Ah, yeah, that's what I thought | 07:06 |
| Gaulois94 | (I just want ubuntu for gparted software only : gparted live doesn't works I don't know why) | 07:06 |

| Phase4 | i think that's what he's got | 07:07 |
| Gaulois94 | (problem with module and modprobe...) | 07:07 |
| Gaulois94 | Then I use ubuntu | 07:07 |
| Gaulois94 | Is very a big crap this system x) | 07:08 |
| Gaulois94 | And sorry for this last question but in the Ubuntu documentation I see that I need to delete the boot frag of my first FAT32 partition for create a second | 07:09 |
| Gaulois94 | But if I do that, I can't start to windows 8, no ? (I need to create a second live USB) | 07:09 |
| Gaulois94 | (sorry for my bad english, I'm french) | 07:10 |
| Phase4 | Gaulois94, you shouldnt need to, grub-efi might be able to chainload a 32bit system from uefi, i'm not sure, x86 is absurdly complicated | 07:10 |
| Gaulois94 | Phase4 : I can't boot from a usb device directly | 07:12 |
| Gaulois94 | I need to find the efi file and boot on in | 07:12 |
| Gaulois94 | it* | 07:12 |
| Phase4 | Gaulois94, do you know how to use the grub shell? | 07:12 |
| Gaulois94 | I can't start to it !!! | 07:13 |
| Gaulois94 | I can't start to gparted with ubuntu | 07:13 |
| Gaulois94 | (with gparted live I can but when I start from it, I have a problem with modeprobe on the linux initialisation) | 07:13 |
| Gaulois94 | grub* (not gparted) | 07:13 |
| Phase4 | Gaulois94, no, i meen you can get grub as an efi app, shove it on a usb, name it /EFI/BOOT/bootx64.efi and it should work | 07:14 |
| Gaulois94 | Ah yes I can, but I didn't find him | 07:14 |

| === Fyodorovna is now known as wilee-nilee | ||
| Phase4 | kunji, huh, so aparently intel is making 32bit uefi machines | 07:17 |
| Phase4 | i'm not sure Why, it's not like 64bit takes up that much silicon | 07:17 |
| kunji | Phase4: Hmm, with new processors? Maybe they're just trying to offload old chips still? | 07:18 |
| Phase4 | kunji, the bug report mentions 32bit atoms, i thought they were all 64bit now | 07:18 |
| jayja213 | how is the channel so dead with over 1000 people in it... | 07:18 |
| Phase4 | jayja213, of the 1.5k people here, about 1.495k are afk | 07:19 |
| jayja213 | lol :( | 07:19 |
| Gaulois94 | 1 day completly for trying to install archlinux on my computeur x) | 07:19 |
| Gaulois94 | It generally take 3 hours | 07:20 |
| Gaulois94 | takes* | 07:20 |
| jayja213 | 4 hours trying to get data from a pdf into a database :P | 07:20 |
| Gaulois94 | not bad :p | 07:20 |
| Phase4 | jayja213, pdf's are awkward to work with, and i don't think tables are stored as tables | 07:20 |
| kunji | Phase4: Ah, they're not the laptop/HTPC processors, they're SoCs (phones & tablets), so maybe because of power reasons? | 07:21 |
| Gaulois94 | Or for not cracking this devices ;) | 07:22 |
| jayja213 | phase4 yeah they are not stored as tables, i was hoping for some sort of text recognition software so i could just take a bunch of pictures of it or something | 07:22 |
| jayja213 | idk there is a lot of data and i don't really want to enter it all by hand | 07:22 |
| kunji | There's some OCR software that could extract text, the names of them are escaping me right now though -_- | 07:23 |
| Phase4 | jayja213, there are a few bits of ocr software | 07:23 |
| Phase4 | yeah, gnome has one or two, googles got an interesting one floating around (only accepts tga's though, pain to convert) | 07:23 |
| Gaulois94 | euh... it's normal the iso name is finish by "amd64.iso" ? Why amd ? I'm on intel | 07:23 |
| Phase4 | Gaulois94, amd was the one who designed the 64bit extensions | 07:24 |
| kunji | amd created the instruction set | 07:24 |
| Gaulois94 | Ah ok :) | 07:24 |
| kunji | intel made their own after, but it flopped | 07:24 |
| jayja213 | do you think thats my best option? | 07:24 |
| jayja213 | this is one of the sites | 07:24 |
| jayja213 | http://www.hc-sc.gc.ca/fn-an/alt_formats/hpfb-dgpsa/pdf/nutrition/dri_tables-eng.pdf | 07:24 |
| Phase4 | ia64? that was the.... i forget, but it was a completely different architecture and a flawed idea | 07:24 |
| FloodBot1 | jayja213: Please don't flood; use http://paste.ubuntu.com to paste; don't use Enter as punctuation. | 07:24 |
| kunji | Phase4: Yeah, that one I think | 07:25 |
| Phase4 | i think what they wanted was explicit out-of-order execution | 07:25 |
| Phase4 | but couldnt figure out how to compile for that | 07:25 |
| rusty0101 | jayja213: if the PDFs are single page documents, you can use the GIMP to convert them to images and then use one or another of the OCR packages or services to try to convert it to text. | 07:28 |
| Phase4 | jayja213, you can just copy paste the text out of that | 07:28 |
| Phase4 | they were nice enough to store text instead of bitmaps, hate when they do that | 07:28 |
| jayja213 | yeah they were nice until page 6.... | 07:29 |
| jayja213 | i need to put page 6 -12 into a structure | 07:29 |
| Phase4 | it's still text, but it'll come out scrambled | 07:30 |
| jayja213 | very scrambled, different organization for each page and no nice and easy pattern.... | 07:30 |
| shape | Hi, what happens if I have an AMD x64 and install ubunut i386 32 bit on it? | 07:30 |
| Phase4 | shape, works normally | 07:31 |
| jayja213 | :( | 07:31 |
| Phase4 | shape, x64 is better though | 07:31 |
| shape | Phase4: any drawbacks for 64? I remember having problems with compatibility for drivers, etc. | 07:31 |
| rusty0101 | shape: amd64 processors support the i386 instruction set. | 07:31 |
| Phase4 | shape, if you have problems with drivers on 64bit, you'll have them on 32bit too, x64 is better though for a variety of technical reasons | 07:32 |
| shape | Phase4: such as? | 07:32 |
| Phase4 | shape, large pages, more registers, greater address space (makes memory mapping large files possible), seamless support for more than 4GB of ram | 07:33 |
| lessless | why after sudo apt-get remove couchdb all its files are still on the disk? | 07:33 |
| shape | Phase4: So if I have an intel 64 bit I should install the amd64. iso instead regardless if it says amd? | 07:34 |
| Phase4 | shape, it's faster, but not by enough to matter unless you do a lot of 3d or video work | 07:34 |
| wilee-nilee | lessless, purge removes what can be. | 07:34 |
| Phase4 | shape, they're compatible | 07:34 |
| BadElvis | I have this USB sound card, and initially, it showed up in the Sound config of Ubuntu. I tried to configure it as output and chose some options, now it doesn't show up anymore in the sound config. Are there some config files, that I can delete so that I can connect the USB device as if it was the first time? | 07:35 |
| BadElvis | lessless: use 'sudo apt-get purge couchdb' | 07:35 |
| lessless | wilee-nilee, ok, it looks like that package itself is poorly written | 07:36 |
| rusty0101 | the chipset that the ia64 instruction set was for (iirc) is the Itanium processor. Primarily used in database servers. | 07:36 |
| shape | Phase4: I understand but what I'm saying, since you say it's better to install 64-bit, if my intel e2200 has: Instruction Set 64-bit to get ubuntu on 64 bit I'd have to use the amd64 iso regardless if it says amd, correct? | 07:36 |
| lessless | it doesn't help: whereis couchdb: /usr/bin/couchdb /etc/couchdb /usr/lib/couchdb /usr/bin/X11/couchdb /usr/share/couchdb /usr/share/man/man1/couchdb.1.gz | 07:36 |
| Phase4 | shape, yeah, amd64 is a technical name, it works on both intel and amd | 07:37 |
| rusty0101 | if you're running an i3, i5 or i7 processor, or one of the previous ones, you can use the amd64 sets. | 07:37 |
| Phase4 | lessless, apt-get purge? it won't remove configuration/storage unless you ask it too | 07:37 |
| Phase4 | Kabaka, ohai | 07:37 |
| shape | Phase4: So for sure not drawbacks? I clearly remember 3 years ago or so that some program or driver wasn't working because it was designed for 32 bit or something like that | 07:39 |
| lessless | Phase4, what about /usr/lib/couchdb? | 07:39 |
| Phase4 | lessless, not sure, you can remove them manually if you wish | 07:40 |
| Phase4 | shape, there used to be problems with 32bit applications on 64bit distros, that's since been fixed in debian and ubuntu | 07:40 |
| Phase4 | it's a little temperamental though, you might have to run dpkg add-architecture i386 once to tell it you actually want that | 07:41 |
| Phase4 | after that though it's damned near flawless | 07:41 |
| lessless | Phase, yeah but this is a bit obscure... what is apt-get purge/remove than is for? :) | 07:41 |
| lessless | and how do I completely remove this package | 07:42 |
| shape | lessless what's obscure about purge? | 07:42 |
| Phase4 | lessless, if you've run apt-get remove couchdb, then couchdb is gone, whats left is files specific to your machine | 07:42 |
| jayja213 | got it =D | 07:42 |

| MonkeyDust | Jordan_U was faster :) | 08:16 |
| Quest | Jordan_U, , MonkeyDust i dont see any /var/log/fail2ban.log . the iptables and service fail2ban status says that fail2ban is running fine.. any clue? | 08:17 |
| Jordan_U | budotz: Could you pastebin the exact error message from mkfs? | 08:17 |
| kblin | hi folks | 08:19 |
| prince_jammys | Quest: see fail2ban's config in /etc for to know where it's logging to. Maybe it logs to daemon.log. | 08:20 |
| kblin | I've got trouble printing to my network print server from my new 13.04 install. printer works just fine from other boxes on the network, and I'm using the same ipp settings | 08:20 |

| kblin | Myrtti: thanks | 08:26 |
| prince_jammys | Quest: hm, can you find the fail2ban process in the process tree? | 08:27 |
| prince_jammys | Quest: you can try ''lsof -c fail2ban'' if fail2ban is the name of the running prog. | 08:28 |
| prince_jammys | this will list the files that process has open -- maybe you find the log there. | 08:29 |
| prince_jammys | Quest: you can also try ''man fail2ban'' and go to the bottom -- see if the manual has a 'FILES' section. | 08:30 |

| Dr_Willis | Hmm. Seems DynDNS is now trying to shutdown us old timers with free accounts by making us login to their site every 30 days. ;( How annoying. | 08:46 |
| ActionParsnip | dr_willis: no-ip does that but I think its every 60 days :-) | 08:47 |
| kblin | Dr_Willis: yeah, lost my account that way at some point by missing the deadline by a day | 08:47 |
| MonkeyDust | never got either to 'work' as i want | 08:47 |
| Dr_Willis | well my router updates the stuff. has for ages.. but aparently thats not good enough these days for them | 08:47 |
| ActionParsnip | dr_willis: yeah i use noip2 on my ubuntu server to do the same | 08:48 |
| Dr_Willis | more On topic.. anyone else noticeing the 'spring folders' feature of nautilus in 13.04 is a little too sensetive..? | 08:48 |
| === Guest66399_ is now known as shroud | ||
| ActionParsnip | dr_willis: never heard of spring folders. let me search | 08:49 |
| Dr_Willis | drag/drop hold over a folder.. it opens | 08:49 |
| Dr_Willis | I can barely drag/drop... it alwyas springs open the folder befor i can drop it | 08:49 |
| MonkeyDust | Dr_Willis i have this other issue in nautilus: any filemanager icon outside the 'native' opens Totem, not Nautilus | 08:49 |
| Dr_Willis | MonkeyDust: seen that when the 'folder' file association gets messed up.. like if you had right clicked on a folder and selected 'play in totem' | 08:50 |
| ActionParsnip | dr_willis: sounds cool, i use guake for moving files etc these days :-) | 08:50 |
| MonkeyDust | Dr_Willis that's how it bahaves, even when just plugging my external HD | 08:51 |
| Dr_Willis | ActionParsnip: it would be cool if it wasent so annoying about opening when i dont want it.. | 08:51 |
| ActionParsnip | dr_willis: oh the whole 'folders open in totem' deal. What fun that was | 08:51 |
| Dr_Willis | because then i have to hit parent/up to get back to where i was working constantly | 08:51 |
| ActionParsnip | dr_willis: is there a timeout setting in nautilus? | 08:51 |
| ActionParsnip | dr_willis: sensitivity and so forth. | 08:52 |
| Dr_Willis | ActionParsnip: i cant find one.. yet.. | 08:52 |
| Dr_Willis | all the google hits i find are from like 2008 for people wanting the feature. ;) | 08:52 |
| Dr_Willis | i seem to recall ages ago - apple had the feature and was sueing others that had the same feature. :) even tho it had been around befor apple used it | 08:53 |
| ActionParsnip | dr_willis: try searching in dconf-editor | 08:53 |
| gustav___ | Why this article? http://www.omgubuntu.co.uk/2013/05/half-life-2-steam-linux It's NOT available on Steam. | 08:55 |

| gustav___ | Ah. | 08:57 |
| Dr_Willis | HL2 one of the few games i actually played untill the end.. ;) | 08:57 |

| Dr_Willis | after giving up on it for ages.. (got stuck on some level | 08:57 |
| gustav___ | DJones: I didn't read the article on OMGUbuntu thorougly. | 08:58 |
| gustav___ | HL are great games. Or were. | 08:58 |
| Dr_Willis | HL2(beta) is showing up here on steam for me. | 08:58 |

| gustav___ | ActionParsnip: Those were the days. | 08:59 |
| Dr_Willis | gustav___: no idea. I just ran steam, and looked.. I got several "halflife whatever (beta)" items in my library | 08:59 |
| gustav___ | All games seem to copy CS now. | 09:00 |
| ActionParsnip | gustav___: the early betas were great :). "He has sleeves and we don't! Kill him!!!" | 09:00 |
| gustav___ | ActionParsnip: OMG. I didn't play so early. | 09:00 |
| Dr_Willis | seems i have a left 4 dead 2 Beta also... | 09:01 |
| ActionParsnip | gustav___: yeah I got in early. After 1.1 i'd lost interest. | 09:01 |
| gustav___ | ActionParsnip: I think that's the version I played. | 09:01 |
| Dr_Willis | I rember back when everyone was fighting to get "Americas Armys" or whatever it was called going on linux. ;) | 09:02 |

| nightmare365 | hi guys is there a way to stop the scanning for btrfs during boot ..it is slowing my boot time significantly | 09:02 |
| ActionParsnip | nightmare365: do you use btrfs? | 09:03 |
| nightmare365 | no | 09:03 |
| gustav___ | Urban Terror was kind of nice. Reminded me of another old 3D game. That's in the repos. I got banned from UrT, though. | 09:03 |
| Dr_Willis | nightmare365: so where do you see this 'scanning for btrfs' at ? | 09:03 |
| nightmare365 | during boottime it appears as the first thing just after grub .. it Dr_Willis | 09:04 |
| Dr_Willis | might want to check askubuntu.com - ive never seen anything about that on my systems.. or seen it mentioned in here actually. | 09:05 |
| Dr_Willis | sounds like it may be somthing initrd is doing. | 09:05 |
| nightmare365 | is there a way to know how i can fix that | 09:05 |
| Quest | prince_jammys, nevermind case solved | 09:06 |
| Dr_Willis | i would check askubuntu.com - it might be an allready known about/fix posted issue.... | 09:06 |
| gustav___ | nightmare365: Check for strange things in /etc/default/grub. | 09:07 |
| ActionParsnip | nightmarr365: you could check the init levels and check for btrfs, you could also uninstall btrfs apps. | 09:07 |
| Dr_Willis | bbl. work time for me. | 09:07 |
| nightmare365 | ok brb | 09:08 |
| ActionParsnip | nightmare365: it sems a race situation can be the cause but I am unsure | 09:08 |
| nightmare365 | ok is btrfs tools needed | 09:08 |
| nightmare365 | ment is it a critical system app | 09:09 |
| Tex_Nick | i set my grub timeout to 0, to bypass grub on startup ... i thought holding the shift key down when booting would display grub ... doesn't seem to work on this box (13.04) | 09:09 |
| Ben66 | Tex_Nick: has to be left shift, and you may have to keep pressing it, not holding | 09:10 |
| Tex_Nick | Ben66 : ok i've been using the left key ... will try bumping it a few times instead of holding it down ... thanks for the input | 09:12 |
| ActionParsnip | nightmare365: try uninstalling it, if it only uninstalls itself or other btrfs aps then fine, if it wants to disembowel your OS, just say no | 09:12 |
| gustav___ | Ah, the magics of the package system, sometimes. | 09:13 |
| nightmare365 | ok .. let me reboot and see if it solves it | 09:14 |
| ran_ | i need help about slow boot in xubuntu 13.04 | 09:18 |
| hacktus0 | Hello, Where is buffer in ubuntu ? | 09:18 |
| ActionParsnip | tex_nick: can you pastebin your /etc/default/grub please | 09:18 |
| ActionParsnip | hactus0: buffer for what? | 09:19 |
| ActionParsnip | ran_: run: dmesg | less | 09:19 |
| nightmare365 | ActionParsnip: that solved it .. thanks a mil' | 09:19 |
| ActionParsnip | ran_: use cursors to scroll, look for large gaps in the time on the left | 09:19 |
| hacktus0 | buffer internet , ActionParsnip | 09:19 |
| ActionParsnip | nightmare365: sweet | 09:19 |
| ActionParsnip | hacktus0: do you mean web cache, temporary internat files? | 09:20 |
| hacktus0 | Yes,ActionParsnip | 09:20 |
| ActionParsnip | ran_: that will give the cause | 09:20 |
| ran_ | at 20 seconds from boot ipv6 is loaded, and at 80 seconds from boot there is somthing about NVRM gpu | 09:21 |
| ActionParsnip | hacktus0: try using clearer less technical terms, its much clearer | 09:21 |
| ActionParsnip | hacktus0: which browser are you using? | 09:21 |
| ran_ | so there is a delay of about 40 seconds | 09:21 |
| ActionParsnip | ran_: do you use ipv6? | 09:22 |
| ran_ | no | 09:22 |
| hacktus0 | Chrome ,ActionParsnip | 09:22 |
| hacktus0 | Google chrome | 09:22 |
| ActionParsnip | ran_: disable it with the boot option: ipv6.disable=1 | 09:22 |
| Quest | prince_jammys, logtarget = /var/log/fail2ban.log instead of logtarget = syslog | 09:23 |
| ActionParsnip | hacktus0: chrome web cache is in ~/.cache/google-chrome | 09:23 |

| ActionParsnip | tex_nick: uncomment the GRUB_HIDDEN_TIMEOUT line | 09:25 |
| Excryption | I'm using a proprietary driver, would it be better to switch to the Xorg open source driver for my AMD? | 09:26 |
| ActionParsnip | ran_: yes, that is where boot options are applied | 09:26 |
| ran_ | is there a known problems about boot in xubuntu 13.04? in 12.10 there was not any problems with boot | 09:26 |
| ActionParsnip | hacktus0: i have that folder in tempfs, makes web browsing fastrer | 09:27 |
| ActionParsnip | ran_: not seeing any issues here. did you upgradr to raring or did you clean install? | 09:27 |
| ran_ | sometimes the shutdown is also delayed. | 09:28 |
| hacktus0 | OK, thank ActionParsnip | 09:28 |
| ActionParsnip | ran_: you do know raring is EOL before Quantal, just so you are aware | 09:28 |
| ran_ | i have a dual boot system with win 7. | 09:28 |
| hacktus0 | ActionParsnip : I want to encrypt | 09:28 |
| kvothetech | Excryption: that depends on your uses and which card etc. | 09:29 |
| ActionParsnip | hacktus0: encrypt what? | 09:29 |
| hacktus0 | ActionParsnip : the folder in MD5 or DES. | 09:30 |
| Tex_Nick | ActionParsnip: ohhh man i missed that in the documentation ... that might help a LOT ;-) let me reboot this box ... as always thanks ... you've givenme some cool tips in the past | 09:30 |
| ActionParsnip | hacktus0: to achieve what, exactly? | 09:30 |
| ActionParsnip | tex_nick: be sure to run: sudo update-grub | 09:30 |
| Tex_Nick | ActionParsnip: yes sir will do ;-) | 09:31 |
| kblin | hacktus0: you're aware that DES is pretty easy to crack these days and MD5 is not an encryption but a one-way hash? | 09:31 |
| ActionParsnip | kblin: hence me asking :-) | 09:31 |
| Excryption | I'm currently using Intel HD | 09:32 |
| kblin | ActionParsnip: arguably your data is pretty safe if you just store the MD5 sums | 09:32 |
| kblin | ActionParsnip: unfortunately it's also pretty safe from you | 09:32 |

| hacktus0 | but MD5 are good because our password is encrypted with MD5 in /etc/shadow/ ,kblin | 09:33 |
| kblin | hacktus0: actually I wouldn't trust plain MD5 to hash passwords anymore. but you were talking about folders, not passwords | 09:35 |
| hacktus0 | Yes, but I want to encrypt the temporary file because if somebody have wireshark he don't read when I am on world wide web ,kblin | 09:37 |
| A1Recon | Accessing the PC through ES File Explorer in Android with the correct Username and Password shows "Error. Server cannot be found". | 09:37 |
| kvothetech | hacktus0: the temp dir has NOTHING to do with wireshark... | 09:37 |
| kblin | hacktus0: encrypting your temporary internet files won't help against a network sniffer | 09:38 |
| ActionParsnip | hacktus0: what are you trying to actually achieve? Your user is the only person with access to the folser if you remove the ALL acces. | 09:38 |
| kvothetech | hacktus0: wireshark watches packets...not your temp dir.. | 09:38 |
| ActionParsnip | hacktus0: encrypting it wont keep wireshark from doing anything. Do you even know what wireshark does? | 09:39 |
| gustav___ | Wait. TF2 is running on HL2. | 09:39 |
| gustav___ | I don't like this: "[142206.816541] NVRM: GPU at 0000:01:00.0 has fallen off the bus." | 09:39 |

| ActionParsnip | gustav___: call 999 | 09:40 |
| gustav___ | o_O | 09:40 |
| A1Recon | Accessing the PC through ES File Explorer in Android with the correct Username and Password shows "Error. Server cannot be found". Any ideas why?? | 09:41 |
| hacktus0 | But where are the packets... | 09:41 |
| kvothetech | hacktus0: Your ethernet card ? the switch? | 09:41 |
| kvothetech | then the router | 09:41 |
| gustav___ | ActionParsnip: It's 112. | 09:41 |
| kvothetech | then your modem...yeah ...not in your temp dir... | 09:41 |
| ActionParsnip | gustav___: i'd say falling off a bys was an emergency, so 999 is used | 09:42 |
| gustav___ | ActionParsnip: True. | 09:42 |
| kblin | ActionParsnip: 0118 999 881 999 119 7253 is the new number for that | 09:42 |
| kvothetech | kblin: it crowd? | 09:42 |
| ActionParsnip | hacktus0: the packets are on the network, before they hit your system storage, so it will do nothing to encrypt the folder | 09:42 |
| hacktus0 | how can I encrypt the packet internet ? | 09:43 |
| kvothetech | ActionParsnip: I get the feeling hacktus0 is just making stuff up as he goes along..just the impression i get. | 09:43 |
| ActionParsnip | kblin: i wish it was, that would be awesome. id be laughing too hard to dial "hello. i've had a tumble" | 09:43 |
| kvothetech | hacktus0: ssl tls etc | 09:43 |
| ActionParsnip | hacktus0: lots of sites use https now | 09:44 |
| kvothetech | tls is just ssl with the beginning unencrypted until you login btw | 09:44 |
| A1Recon | ActionParsnip: Accessing the PC through ES File Explorer in Android with the correct Username and Password shows "Error. Server cannot be found". Any ideas why?? | 09:45 |
| ActionParsnip | hacktus0: i think you need to research some. You dont seem too sure what things do or what you are even trying to protect yourself from | 09:45 |
| kblin | kvothetech: :) sure | 09:45 |
| ActionParsnip | a1recon: what service are you connecting to on the server side? | 09:45 |
| kvothetech | A1Recon: uhm what's es file explorer using to connect do you have a server runnig for it to connect to | 09:46 |
| kvothetech | kblin: :) yeah good show | 09:46 |
| ActionParsnip | a1recon: tried the IP instead of name as well? | 09:46 |
| A1Recon | ActionParsnip: kvothetech: ES File Explorer is just an application on Android, it lets you see the files on the phone/network/cloud! You don't need to run a server on the PC, just the usual file sharing will do. I am using IP address. | 09:48 |
| ActionParsnip | a1recon: so it connects to samba? | 09:49 |
| A1Recon | kvothetech: do you have an Anrdoid?? | 09:49 |
| llutz | A1Recon: sure you need a kind of server to access using es-fileex, smb/sftp/ftp | 09:49 |
| A1Recon | ActionParsnip: yes | 09:49 |
| kvothetech | A1Recon: nfs then? yes i do i use andftp and scp mode... | 09:49 |
| ActionParsnip | a1recon: then samba is the service you are connecting to | 09:49 |
| A1Recon | llutz: smb | 09:49 |
| A1Recon | ActionParsnip: samba | 09:49 |
| kvothetech | A1Recon: andftp or juicessh are what i use because i can't stand es too limited | 09:50 |
| ActionParsnip | a1recon: you need the samba server service to run to connrct to samba. so "you dont need to run a server" is incorrect | 09:50 |
| tero | hi guys. How can I found out on what date my ubuntu was installed? | 09:51 |

| Yinseng | after my Ubuntu server has been inactive for a while, the console becomes a black screen and no amount of mouse movement brings it back to life. Is there some sort of key shortcut I'm not aware of to get it to come out of this black screen? | 09:52 |

| Yinseng | I'm using Unity 2D if that's of any help | 09:59 |
| ActionParsnip | a1recon: just use it | 09:59 |
| ActionParsnip | a1recon: astro file manager can connect to samba | 10:00 |
| ActionParsnip | a1recon: there is also andsamba | 10:00 |
| kblin | there's also a samba server package for android, but I think that requires a jailbroken phone, not sure, though, never used it | 10:01 |
| Yinseng | Yeah. I managed to log out (it took like 10 minutes total) and I went back into the Unity 2D Shell. NOW it's working fine. Did not reboot the machine or reduce any load at all | 10:01 |
| Yinseng | After it enters sleep mode or the screensaver or whatever, when it comes out of it is just entirely unresponsive and I don't know why | 10:01 |
| bekks | Yinseng: Then check the load. | 10:02 |
| Braden` | Hello | 10:02 |
| Yinseng | the load is fine. I checked it. There was no load. | 10:02 |
| kvothetech | Braden`: hi | 10:02 |
| Braden` | I just upgraded from 12.10 to 13, and now when I reboot I get "Cannot open display" | 10:03 |
| === erry__ is now known as erry | ||
| kvothetech | Braden`: got the module loaded for your gpu? | 10:03 |
| bekks | Yinseng: Did you just check the "load" or did you check which programs used CPU/MEM/SWAP? | 10:03 |
| kvothetech | or built in/kms | 10:03 |
| ActionParsnip | braden`: do you use proprietary video drivers? | 10:03 |
| Yinseng | bekks: I used VMware's performance monitor | 10:03 |
| ActionParsnip | yiseng: which screensaver package are you using? | 10:04 |
| Yinseng | It's just a base Ubuntu 12.04 LTS install with the unity desktop environment and some updates. | 10:04 |
| bekks | Yinseng: That does not tell you a single bit on whats happening IN the guest. | 10:04 |
| bekks | Yinseng: So check the load and the cpu/mem/swap usage inside the guest. | 10:05 |
| Yinseng | well I can't really do that now because now it's working fine | 10:05 |
| bekks | Yinseng: And you cant do it now because of what? | 10:06 |
| Yinseng | ...because it's working fine? The problem is gone because I logged out and logged back in | 10:06 |
| bekks | Yinseng: You could still find traces on what happened. But its your choice. | 10:06 |
| Yinseng | Can you be more specific about what you want me to do | 10:06 |
| Yinseng | for instance if I was using windows you could tell me to check Event Viewer | 10:07 |
| bekks | Yinseng: I wanted you to take a look at top, ps aux and dmesg. | 10:07 |
| Yinseng | would you prefer I do this from a terminal in the desktop environment, or does it not matter | 10:07 |
| bekks | Yinseng: And you omitted the information that you are running a vm. :) | 10:07 |
| A1Recon | ActionParsnip: Oh yeah, the problem was solved. I went over to #android. The thing was one of the android phone is 2.3 so I have to load CifsManager "to load the appropriate kernel modules" | 10:08 |
| bekks | Yinseng: Terminal commands are to be done in a terminal. | 10:08 |
| ActionParsnip | yinseng: find out which screensaver package you are using as well | 10:08 |
| Yinseng | (4:55:20 AM) Yinseng: There is no load. VMware's performance tab shows virtually nothing. | 10:08 |
| Yinseng | (5:03:57 AM) Yinseng: bekks: I used VMware's performance monitor | 10:08 |
| bekks | Yinseng: And I told you that thats useless. | 10:08 |
| Yinseng | (5:08:04 AM) bekks: Yinseng: And you omitted the information that you are running a vm. :) | 10:08 |
| SomeUser | Hi all. I cant get the Networkmanager applet started. It flashes up in the tray icon bar and than dissapears. I get this message if i start it in a terminal: http://dpaste.com/1144609/ | 10:08 |
| ActionParsnip | a1recon: i see, ive always use andsamva but in JellyBean Astro accesses it seamlessly | 10:08 |
| Braden` | ActionParsnip: Nay, just the standard video drivers. They were working before I upgraded though | 10:08 |
| Yinseng | ActionParsnip: How do I do that | 10:09 |
| bekks | Yinseng: You could have said "I am using a vm"at the beginning. | 10:09 |
| Yinseng | I kinda assumed mentioning it was vmware from the beginning would be good enough | 10:09 |
| Braden` | kvothetech: I have no idea how to check that | 10:09 |
| ActionParsnip | a1recon: if you install openssh-server on the server, you can use andftp and also stream securely over the web | 10:09 |
| A1Recon | ActionParsnip: Thanks!! | 10:10 |
| kvothetech | Braden`: lspci and look for the ones for your gpu ..also when you updated the kernel did you recompile the modules with it | 10:10 |
| Yinseng | I don't see a control for it in the desktop environment so far... | 10:10 |
| ActionParsnip | braden`: what video chip do you use? | 10:10 |
| Yinseng | There is Brightness and Lock | 10:11 |
| Yinseng | but that doesn't tell me much | 10:11 |
| ActionParsnip | yiseng: what is the output of: dpkg -l | grep saver | 10:11 |
| Yinseng | http://i.imgur.com/hRditmo.png | 10:11 |
| Yinseng | 1s | 10:11 |
| ActionParsnip | yinseng: use pastebin to host the output | 10:11 |
| Yinseng | http://i.imgur.com/rg2S9g9.png | 10:12 |
| Braden` | kvothetech: I suspect the package manager did that for me | 10:12 |
| Braden` | ActionParsnip: Its Virtualbox | 10:12 |
| ActionParsnip | yinseng: for text, why use an image? | 10:12 |
| Yinseng | because it takes 3 seconds with hyperdesktop | 10:12 |
| Yinseng | would you prefer the text? | 10:12 |
| ActionParsnip | braden`: i'd ask in #vbox it may be a known issue | 10:13 |
| ActionParsnip | yinseng: just curious | 10:13 |
| kvothetech | Braden`: then reinstall open-vm-tools or whatever the vbox equivalent is | 10:13 |
| A1Recon | ActionParsnip: Do you know what is CSSH? | 10:13 |
| ActionParsnip | yinseng: uninstall that package and install xscreensaver | 10:13 |
| Yinseng | ok, will you walk me through? I'm still kinda unfamiliar with apt-get | 10:13 |
| ActionParsnip | a1recon: use it everyday at work | 10:14 |
| ActionParsnip | yinseng: you can use software centre | 10:14 |

| ActionParsnip | a1recon: sure | 10:14 |
| === kvmadsen_ is now known as kvmadsen | ||

| Yinseng | I've read it, my medication just makes it hard for me to remember things | 10:16 |
| Yinseng | 1s | 10:16 |
| ActionParsnip | yinseng: software centre makes it easier | 10:16 |
| Yinseng | yeah, I'm looking through it and I'm using the search filter but I'm not getting anything when I search for gnome or screen or lock | 10:17 |
| ActionParsnip | yinseng: close the app and run: sudo apt-get --purge renove gnome-screensaver; sudo apt-get --purge autoremove; sudo apt-get install xscreensaver | 10:18 |
| kvothetech | ActionParsnip: Yinseng the renove should be remove | 10:19 |
| arsdragonfly | remove | 10:19 |
| ActionParsnip | doh | 10:19 |
| kvothetech | (in case he copy pastes it :) | 10:19 |
| Yinseng | Ok, done. | 10:20 |
| Yinseng | Logged back in. how do I know it's working | 10:21 |
| ActionParsnip | yinseng: then configure xscreensaver to not load a screensaver after a time, basically disable it | 10:21 |
| Yinseng | ah here we go, there's a new 'screensaver' option when I search.. | 10:22 |
| Quest | ports can be forwarded by routers/switches and NATing can be done. how to do that if the thats a linux server instead? | 10:23 |
| bekks | Quest: Basically by using iptables. | 10:23 |
| Yinseng | ok, screensaver disabled | 10:23 |
| Quest | bekks, hmm. its easy? i use firestarter to controll iptables | 10:24 |
| bekks | Quest: No, you have to know what you are doing there. :) | 10:24 |
| ActionParsnip | yinseng: should be ok then | 10:24 |

| Quest | bekks, where to learn iptables | 10:26 |
| bekks | !iptables | 10:26 |
| ubottu | Ubuntu, like any other Linux distribution, has firewall capabilities built-in. The firewall is managed using the 'ufw' command - see https://help.ubuntu.com/community/UFW | An alternative to ufw is the 'iptables' command - See https://help.ubuntu.com/community/IptablesHowTo | GUI frontends such as Gufw (GNOME) and Guarddog (KDE from Lucid onwards) also exist. | 10:26 |
| ActionParsnip | kvothetech: thought it needed sudo.. | 10:26 |
| kvothetech | ActionParsnip: dunno i don't have sudo installed | 10:27 |
| === qos is now known as qos|away | ||
| Yinseng | You guys wanna help me with one more thing? I've been googling on guides on how to do this but I just keep finding guides that don't seem to apply to my installation. I haven't been using sudo, I've been using root through putty. When I try to sudo as my user that I run my server on, it prompts me for a password I was never prompted to set up. How do I set up this password? | 10:27 |
| Emmanuel_Chanel | Hello! | 10:28 |
| hacktus0 | OK I test :kvothetech : ActionParsnip | 10:28 |
| Emmanuel_Chanel | I use oidentd on Ubuntu 12.04 LTS server. I want the oidentd to work as a proxy of this client. | 10:28 |
| ActionParsnip | kvothetech: its default installed in ubuntu and how you do admin tasks | 10:28 |
| Emmanuel_Chanel | But it looks that it doesn't work, by reconnecting to an IRC server. | 10:28 |
| kvothetech | Yinseng: as root passwd alone to set a root pw passwd <user> for other users | 10:28 |
| pagnol2 | is there some way to find out the versions of drivers shipped with ubuntu? | 10:28 |
| Emmanuel_Chanel | But how can I check if oidentd works without reconnections of IRC servers? | 10:28 |
| Yinseng | my root password does not work | 10:29 |
| kvothetech | ActionParsnip: 1. i'm on gentoo 2. My ubuntu installs are from debootstrap. | 10:29 |
| bekks | Yinseng: There is no root pw in Ubuntu. | 10:29 |
| ActionParsnip | yinseng: the password you set when you first installed. if you were an idiot and set a blank password, you can run: passwd name | 10:29 |
| ActionParsnip | kvothetech: sudo package is a dep of a lot of packages, so it will be installed | 10:30 |
| Yinseng | doesn't that just set the user password and not the sudo password? | 10:30 |
| bekks | Yinseng: There is no sudo password either. sudo asks for the user password. | 10:30 |
| ActionParsnip | yinseng: your login password is your sudo password | 10:30 |
| Jordan_U | !sudo | Yinseng | 10:30 |
| ubottu | Yinseng: sudo is a command to run command-line programs with superuser privileges ("root") (also see !cli). Look at https://help.ubuntu.com/community/RootSudo for more information. For graphical applications see !gksu (GNOME, Xfce), or !kdesudo (KDE). If you're unable to execute commands with sudo see: http://www.psychocats.net/ubuntu/fixsudo | 10:30 |
| kvothetech | ActionParsnip: what 'depends' on sudo being there... | 10:30 |
| Yinseng | ..that's weird then. because my user password wasn't working either. Let me try again. | 10:31 |
| Yinseng | it says my user isn't in the sudoers file | 10:31 |
| kvothetech | Yinseng: visudo | 10:31 |
| kvothetech | and add it. | 10:31 |
| Yinseng | permission denied. Guess I have to log in as roto. | 10:32 |
| Yinseng | root | 10:32 |
| bekks | kvothetech: How to run that without sudo privileges? :) | 10:32 |
| bekks | Yinseng: You cant log in as root. :P | 10:32 |
| bekks | !root | Yinseng | 10:32 |
| ubottu | Yinseng: Do not try to guess the root password, that is impossible. Instead, realise the truth... there is no root password. Then you will see that it is 'sudo' that grants you access and not the root password. Look at https://help.ubuntu.com/community/RootSudo | 10:32 |
| Yinseng | I'm logged in as root right now. | 10:32 |
| Yinseng | so. | 10:32 |
| ActionParsnip | kvothetech: ubuntu-minimal for one | 10:33 |
| Yinseng | http://i.imgur.com/tXpzTwS.png see for yourself? vOv | 10:33 |
| kvothetech | ActionParsnip: linux-image,ssh,udev with debootstrap..minimal install...no sudo | 10:34 |
| ActionParsnip | kvothetech: update-manager, gksu, ubuntu-desktop (not so critical metapackage) | 10:34 |
| kvothetech | ActionParsnip: ok..none of the above are dependencies for a working server... | 10:34 |
| pm_ | is there in free tool which converts pdf to excel | 10:34 |
| ActionParsnip | kvothetech: even ubuntu-minimal? | 10:35 |
| jude0 | anyone know how to add sit or a gre tunnels to a bridge? | 10:35 |
| ActionParsnip | pm_: http://www.pdftoexcelonline.com | 10:35 |
| kvothetech | ActionParsnip: seeing as i have several servers without it yes i'm quite sure nothing really depends on sudo that you'd want. | 10:35 |
| Yinseng | uh, hm. What is this weird space that vi is using that's longer than a normal space and shorter than a tab space. | 10:36 |
| ActionParsnip | kvothetech: i see, cool. thanks :-) | 10:36 |
| pm_ | thanks actionParsnip but it is online for secure document it is not feasible | 10:37 |
| Yinseng | it is precisely 4 spaces long | 10:37 |
| Yinseng | to the tab space's.. 8? | 10:37 |
| Yinseng | oh, nevermind | 10:38 |
| kvothetech | Yinseng: depends on the program tab will be 4 spaces or to the next 'tab spot' on your screen which depends on your resolution | 10:38 |
| Yinseng | Why is sudo considered more secure than a root user anyway? It seems like doing a root user means if someone gets into your normal user account there's only so much damage they can cause without the ability to sudo. | 10:41 |
| ActionParsnip | pm_: https://groups.google.com/forum/m/?fromgroups#!topic/ilug-tvm/hf_hg_bm2r4 | 10:41 |
| ActionParsnip | kvothetech: dso, how do you install ubuntu without ubuntu-minimal from a blank drive? Im curious, please | 10:42 |
| juular | i m just curios that anyone use ubuntu to rip DVD's ? | 10:42 |
| kvothetech | ActionParsnip: debootstrap off a usb stick | 10:42 |
| ActionParsnip | !dvdrip | 10:43 |
| kvothetech | Yinseng: it's not unless you are using limited ability sudo users etc | 10:43 |
| Yinseng | so if ubuntu isn't supposed to have a root user, how am I logged into it? | 10:43 |
| Ben66 | !root | 10:44 |
| ubottu | Do not try to guess the root password, that is impossible. Instead, realise the truth... there is no root password. Then you will see that it is 'sudo' that grants you access and not the root password. Look at https://help.ubuntu.com/community/RootSudo | 10:44 |
| kvothetech | ActionParsnip: debootstrap..and btw gui's dont need sudo either..i use xmonad mostly but have gnome/kde/etc all not using sudo) | 10:44 |
| kvothetech | Yinseng: it still has one it just annoys people who are too lazy to do there own security that you use it | 10:44 |
| kblin | juular: I've gotten good results with the 'handbrake' program :) | 10:44 |
| juular | ty kblin | 10:44 |
| ActionParsnip | kvothetech: so, which user is running the X process | 10:44 |
| Yinseng | that's just how it was set up by default by my provider | 10:44 |
| kvothetech | Yinseng: sudo uses the root user to run commands..or whoever has uid 0 | 10:45 |
| kvothetech | ActionParsnip: my user... | 10:45 |
| Yinseng | mmk | 10:45 |
| Jordan_U | Yinseng: sudo allows fine grained control of what commands a user is allowed to run as root. As Ubuntu uses it, it's more of a way to foster better practices (not running commands as root unless they need to be). The human aspect of security is very important, so that shouldn't be disregarded as meaningless. | 10:45 |
| ActionParsnip | kvothetech: sweet | 10:45 |
| Yinseng | makes sense | 10:45 |
| ActionParsnip | yinseng: it does have a root user, its login in the default install is disabled | 10:46 |
| Jordan_U | Yinseng: kvothetech: It's definitely possible to create a root password and never use sudo, but it is not recommended and such a configuration is not supported here. | 10:46 |
| newbie|3 | hey | 10:48 |
| Yinseng | maybe I'll reverse the change then and make an admin user if I can figure out how it was done. | 10:48 |
| Yinseng | oh wait | 10:48 |
| Yinseng | this page seems to tell you how | 10:48 |
| kvothetech | Yinseng: just comment out the pw for root in /etc/passwd and /etc/shadow then add your user to visudo | 10:49 |
| Yinseng | ok thx | 10:49 |
| Quest | can anyone sumarise what is LTS . will that have no kernal updates? | 10:49 |
| ActionParsnip | yinseng: if you add the user to the sudo group, it will be able to use sudo and you can disable root once it tests as ok | 10:49 |
| mdfe | Can you recommend a mud/mush client for ubuntu? I don't like the ones in the software centre. | 10:49 |
| Yinseng | Quest: Long Term Support. It means it'll be supported for a while. | 10:49 |
| MonkeyDust | Quest LTS = long term support | 10:49 |
| ActionParsnip | quest: it will but they will come less frequently | 10:50 |
| kvothetech | Quest: long term as everyone said and yes it gets kernel updates ...you can always update it as you need to like anything else if you want a diff one. | 10:50 |

| kmo | hi, I've got some issue with disk space. I have installed 13.04 and created 20gb partition for / and 20gb partition for home in which I have symbolic links to directories like Documents, Downloads etc. on second (NTFS) partition mounted as /windows. I use only small part of this home partition, but Ubuntu shows me that I have used all the available space. I guess it has something to do with symbolic links, b | 11:20 |
| kmo | ut how come? These are just plain text link to resources on NTFS partition. Baobab shows that whole home is used, but no files/dirs that use this space :O | 11:20 |
| ardoRic | if you wanna know what's taking up your diskspace, go to your home directory and use the du command. something like du --max-depth=1 is nice for checking directory by directory | 11:26 |
| gordonjcp | ardoRic: du -hd1 | 11:27 |
| ardoRic | baobab should help you with that too, you can navigate the file system tree and check what's taking up space | 11:27 |
| kmo | yes baobab should | 11:27 |
| gordonjcp | but you don't need to do that anyway, because it's either going to be .cache, .thumbnails or .Trash ;-) | 11:27 |
| kmo | I checked and baobab shows that over 17.7GB is taken but lists only like 3 or 4GB when I add it up | 11:28 |

| BluesKaj | Hey all | 11:49 |
| W4NGNULL | hi blueskaj | 11:50 |
| Aaruni | I just installed fglrx-experimental-12 on Ubuntu 12.04. I was told that I need to run amdconfig/ati config, I can't remember which one, but both exists. So, which one do I run ? | 11:50 |
| W4NGNULL | hmmmm | 11:50 |
| llutz | !ot | W4NGNULL | 11:50 |
| ubottu | W4NGNULL: #ubuntu is the Ubuntu support channel, for all Ubuntu-related support questions. Please use #ubuntu-offtopic for other topics (though our !guidelines apply there too). Thanks! | 11:50 |
| BluesKaj | W4NGNULL, Hi | 11:50 |
| W4NGNULL | how are you | 11:50 |
| BluesKaj | ok W4NGNULL ,do you have a question | 11:51 |
| W4NGNULL | hmmmmmmm is this hacker chat room like die hard 4 movie | 11:51 |
| Aaruni | I am guessing i should run amdconfig, since fglrx-amdcccle-experimental-12 was also installed, and it has amd in the name... | 11:51 |
| bloony | I'm getting a grub rescue promt saying unknown filesystem.. I tried booting from the boot-repair-disk, but it didn't help.. heres the paste it created: http://paste.ubuntu.com/5657735/ any ideas? | 11:52 |
| W4NGNULL | do u any idea what is use of port forwarding | 11:53 |
| === Guest43287 is now known as sw | ||
| W4NGNULL | anyone else who knows about port forward | 11:54 |
| compdoc | W4NGNULL, it connects a service to your computer | 11:54 |
| W4NGNULL | so what is a advantage | 11:54 |
| compdoc | it opens a hole in your firewall to allow outsiders to connect | 11:55 |
| === qos is now known as qos|away | ||
| W4NGNULL | hmmm | 11:56 |

| W4NGNULL | so i wanna create a port | 11:56 |
| W4NGNULL | in victim router | 11:57 |
| W4NGNULL | so what is beffit | 11:57 |
| bekks | We dont support hacking other people in here. | 11:57 |

| gry1 | W4NGNULL: what are you trying to do? | 11:57 |
| W4NGNULL | dude bekks | 11:57 |
| W4NGNULL | hacking is a computer science of exploitation | 11:57 |
| bekks | W4NGNULL: And we dont support it in here. | 11:58 |
| BluesKaj | W4NGNULL, no hacking advice is allowed here , go soemwhere else | 11:58 |
| gry1 | W4NGNULL: try ##security channel then please. | 11:58 |
| W4NGNULL | okay | 11:58 |
| W4NGNULL | what type of info get in this group | 11:59 |
| BluesKaj | this is ubuntu support | 11:59 |
| gry1 | W4NGNULL: this is official support channel for Ubuntu Linux distribution. A variety of topics are supported, but an introduction to how to get started with exploits would be a tad bulky for here. | 11:59 |
| gry1 | W4NGNULL: The other channel would be able to help you to learn networking, security, pen testing, and how to play with it at your boxes. | 12:00 |
| W4NGNULL | i love networking , programming, security, pentesting | 12:01 |
| compdoc | I heard you go blind if you play with it | 12:01 |
| josh__ | Sorry, im quite a noob here guys but, how do I install the proper Java to play minecraft with? | 12:03 |
| MonkeyDust | !java | 12:03 |
| ubottu | To just use java you need a "Java Runtime Environment" (JRE) and/or a browser plugin. If that is not sufficient you will need a "Java Development Kit" (JDK) aka "Software Development Kit" (SDK). Please see https://help.ubuntu.com/community/Java about how to install one of three current implementations. | 12:03 |
| josh__ | Oh, thanks! | 12:04 |
| thecodeischaos | JRE should be enough | 12:04 |
| gustav___ | NVRM: Xid (0000:01:00): 8, Channel 00000015. optirun + TF2. Google isn't giving much. Tested what I found suggested. | 12:04 |

| cjae | holy bananas http://wiki.debian.org/SSDOptimization?action=show&redirect=SSDoptimization | 12:12 |
| mdfe | cjae, i don't get that: why would you suspend to HDD? It would take *ages* to wake up | 12:16 |
| gordonjcp | mdfe: faster than booting from cold, allows the machine to power off completely | 12:17 |
| mdfe | gordonjcp, No, i mean why would an SSD machine suspend to HDD not to SSD? | 12:17 |
| cjae | right | 12:17 |
| gordonjcp | mdfe: <shrug> | 12:17 |
| gordonjcp | save on write cycles? | 12:17 |
| gordonjcp | for the extra second it'll take to resume, is it worth hammering your SSD? | 12:18 |
| mdfe | it seems to me that debian advice is to extend ssd life at the cost of speed: surely one gets an SSD for speed and the ability to be mobile (smaller machine) therefore one wants to wake up fast? | 12:19 |
| mdfe | and it seems counter productive to get an SSD and then slow it up | 12:19 |
| mdfe | it's not an extra second to wake up. it's a several gig load and time to spin up the disk if it's powered down | 12:21 |
| nakaori | can anyone point me to the solution? i have an mysql server on an ubuntu 12.10 proxmox virtual machine. after reboot the sql server isnt started automatically although i update-rc.d mysql defaults. any ideas? | 12:22 |
| cjae | mdfe: ya I thought it was a little overkill | 12:26 |
| cjae | informative thou | 12:26 |
| mdfe | nakaori, does it start manually? | 12:27 |
| nakaori | yes | 12:27 |
| mdfe | and update-rc.d mysql.server defaults doesnt work? | 12:28 |
| mdfe | that's mysql.server not mysql | 12:28 |
| nakaori | let me check that | 12:29 |
| dinmikkith | Hi folks, Is there anybody who is familiar with preseeding of ubuntu? | 12:30 |
| mdfe | dinmikkith, is that OEM install? | 12:30 |
| dinmikkith | It is not! It is the debian automation mechanism. | 12:31 |
| willybilly0101 | hello all | 12:32 |
| willybilly0101 | have a problem | 12:32 |
| willybilly0101 | running ubuntu (xubuntu) on a Dell Mini 10 | 12:32 |
| willybilly0101 | and the flash videos are really jerky | 12:32 |
| willybilly0101 | in Chromium, in Firefox better but still bad | 12:32 |
| willybilly0101 | also HTML5 the same | 12:32 |
| willybilly0101 | where should I start? | 12:32 |
| MonkeyDust | willybilly0101 enable or disable hardware accelleration | 12:33 |
| thecodeischaos | do you have a good video card? | 12:33 |
| thecodeischaos | i have a netbook and it cant play flash movies | 12:33 |
| willybilly0101 | MonkeyDust: did it | 12:33 |
| thecodeischaos | well it stutters and freezes a lot | 12:33 |
| willybilly0101 | same | 12:33 |
| thecodeischaos | it might be your hardware is incapable of playing it properly | 12:33 |
| mdfe | willybilly0101, google chrome has a proprietary improved flash player: perhaps try that as well | 12:33 |
| thecodeischaos | if your laptop/netbook is as crappy as mine | 12:34 |
| mdfe | I find non-googlechrome flash on linux a bit problematic as well | 12:34 |
| thecodeischaos | actually it is great for everything else. just cant play video | 12:34 |
| thecodeischaos | i have msi wind u135 | 12:34 |
| thecodeischaos | cost me only £100 | 12:35 |
| thecodeischaos | 1.6 Ghz! | 12:35 |
| mdfe | twice the speed of my cpu, but i get flash properly :) | 12:35 |
| thecodeischaos | 1024 x 600 resolution | 12:35 |
| thecodeischaos | ah | 12:36 |
| mdfe | i have no idea why GHz is used as ameasure of computer speed | 12:36 |
| dinmikkith | willybilly0101 I've installed chrome here on ubuntu Youtube works fine with it | 12:36 |
| thecodeischaos | yeh i use ubuntu+chrome+flash on my other pc fine | 12:36 |
| willybilly0101 | youtube works okish | 12:36 |
| willybilly0101 | problem is with other sites | 12:36 |
| willybilly0101 | like coursera.org | 12:36 |
| willybilly0101 | or vimeo | 12:36 |
| deivis | w | 12:36 |
| mdfe | vimeo is very high quality usually, and will give problems on older machines | 12:37 |
| willybilly0101 | trying to find what video is, lspci shows something generic | 12:37 |
| W4NGNULL | what is a wheezy | 12:37 |
| W4NGNULL | any one | 12:37 |
| W4NGNULL | who knows | 12:37 |
| mdfe | W4NGNULL, debian release | 12:37 |
| willybilly0101 | W4NGNULL: debian, google | 12:37 |
| nakaori | update-rc.d: /etc/init.d/mysql.server: file does not exist | 12:37 |
| deivis | is anyone using ubuntu 13.04? | 12:37 |
| mdfe | I am on raring | 12:38 |
| willybilly0101 | coming back to the netbook, it seems stupid to me to be so bad. everything else works well | 12:38 |
| mdfe | But i use thunarr file manager | 12:38 |
| nakaori | nakaori@vs2674:/etc/init.d$ ls |grep mysql | 12:38 |
| nakaori | -> mysql | 12:38 |
| dinmikkith | willybilly0101 what graphic card do you use | 12:38 |
| willybilly0101 | do not know exactly, lspci grep vga shows something generic | 12:39 |
| willybilly0101 | Intel Corp atom D4xx/D5xx/N4xx/N5xx | 12:39 |
| willybilly0101 | trying to google the exact model | 12:40 |
| qin | ping willybilly0101 | 12:40 |
| mdfe | willybilly0101, it's prbably a 945 | 12:40 |
| dinmikkith | willybilly0101 Ask dell Support at the forums on dell.com | 12:40 |
| willybilly0101 | ask the video card? :) I will be able to find it, second :) | 12:41 |
| mdfe | i doubt very much it's an an Intel 3000 or 4000, so it will be the 9x series below it | 12:42 |
| JSF | Morning | 12:42 |
| JSF | I am trying to install Ubuntu 12.04 on a Dell PowerEdge 2850 but the installer doesn't seem to play nice with my PERC 4/i RAID controller | 12:42 |
| JSF | I already googled around and these Dell RAID controllers seem to be rebranded and _should_ work with the megaraid drivers included in the installer, but unfortunately they dont | 12:43 |
| bekks | mdfe: Having an Acer D270, with a N2600 CPU, I have an Intel 3600 GPU. | 12:43 |
| bekks | JSF: The Perc 4i are LSI controllers IIRC. | 12:44 |
| sealander | Hi everone :) | 12:44 |
| JSF | bekks Yeah rebranded LSI ones I also read somewhere | 12:44 |
| hallu | hi, my microphone is not working on gmail/skype; can anyone help me setting it up/checking if it's working at all? thanks | 12:45 |
| JSF | bekks: But the installer does't list ani LSI drivers, or aren't they called LSI? | 12:45 |
| kostkon | willybilly0101, if the cpu is Nxxx, then the card is intel 3150 | 12:46 |
| JSF | bekks: I found the LSI cards use megaraid drivers, but as said they don't work, neither megaraid nor megaraid_sas | 12:46 |
| willybilly0101 | yes | 12:46 |
| willybilly0101 | just found it | 12:46 |
| willybilly0101 | rebooted in windows :) | 12:46 |
| sealander | Which version do you recommend to install in my server. 12.04 or 13.04? | 12:46 |
| willybilly0101 | debian :) | 12:47 |
| willybilly0101 | joking | 12:47 |
| willybilly0101 | now really, is this normal with this laptop? as I'm starting to think it is. also it seems to heat a bit more than windows$ | 12:47 |
| kostkon | willybilly0101, it should be able to play 720p flash videos fine | 12:47 |
| willybilly0101 | wll it does not | 12:48 |
| kostkon | willybilly0101, i have the same card. it plays youtube vids fine, 720p full screen | 12:48 |
| willybilly0101 | should i update firmware/module? | 12:48 |
| kostkon | havent tried 1080p vids | 12:48 |
| kostkon | willybilly0101, mine is a hp mini 210, with N4xxx and 3150. i run full ubuntu on it, unity, compiz and all | 12:50 |
| JSF | Anybody knows how to use PERC 4/i RAID card using Ubuntu install? On the dell site all I can download regards drivers are .exe files or a Red Hat patch | 12:51 |
| hallu | hi, my microphone is not working on gmail/skype; can anyone help me setting it up/checking if it's working at all? thanks | 12:52 |
| bekks | JSF: Is it a 4/i or a 4e/Di? | 12:53 |
| dinmikkith | hallu: Try the settings page of skype and check the audio settings rith click the symbol in tray | 12:53 |
| hallu | dinmikkith: for Microphone, i only have the option "PulseAudio server (local)" (i'm on kubuntu/kde) | 12:54 |
| willybilly0101 | 720p works bad | 12:54 |
| willybilly0101 | youtube | 12:54 |

| === tero_ is now known as tero | ||
| JSF | bekks: Its a 4e/di to be exact | 12:55 |
| dinmikkith | hallu just a second | 12:56 |

| dinmikkith | hallu Try this tutorial http://www.freedesktop.org/wiki/Software/PulseAudio/Documentation/User/PerfectSetup | 12:57 |
| cjae | I didnt know gnash was in a acceptable working state | 12:57 |
| cjae | !gnash | 12:57 |
| hallu | ty dinmikkith | 12:57 |
| ubottu | Gnash is an open-source Flash replacement. It is still beta software. For current status or for more info http://www.gnu.org/software/gnash/ | 12:57 |
| dinmikkith | hallu or look for the pulse audio volume controle terminal version and pull up the microphone with it | 12:58 |
| SonikkuAmerica | cjae: Gnash is horrible. | 12:58 |
| SonikkuAmerica | cjae: You should still use flashplugin-installer | 12:58 |
| dinmikkith | hallu the second method is easier but i don't remember how the package is caaled | 12:58 |
| hallu | dinmikkith: pavucontrol? pavucontrol has bars which reacts to my voice so it looks like my microphone is working | 12:59 |
| Emmanuel_Chanel | My oidentd on Ubuntu router didn't reply when I connect to an IRC server on xchat on this client PC behind the router. | 12:59 |
| Emmanuel_Chanel | How can I help that? | 12:59 |
| dinmikkith | hallu could you try to record something with your sound recorder and play it | 13:00 |
| nightmare365 | cjae: don't use gnash it uses up too much cpu and ..its still beta .. | 13:00 |
| willybilly0101 | Emmanuel_Chanel: firewall set correctly? | 13:00 |
| hallu | dinmikkith: which one? | 13:00 |
| cjae | SonikkuAmerica: nightmare365just checking progress lol | 13:00 |
| Emmanuel_Chanel | Yes, it looks. | 13:00 |
| dinmikkith | hallu the gnome sound recorder | 13:01 |
| Emmanuel_Chanel | When the bot on the router connect to an IRC server, the IRC server looks to get a reply. | 13:01 |
| dinmikkith | hallu just the gnome one to see if gnome and the puilse audio interface react on X | 13:01 |
| Emmanuel_Chanel | willybilly0101: Ubuntu 12.04 LTS server's oidentd automatically works as a proxy of identd, right? | 13:01 |
| hallu | dinmikkith: i'm on kde :( | 13:02 |
| dinmikkith | hallu sorry I forgot. It has to be teh same basicly. | 13:02 |
| Emmanuel_Chanel | willybilly0101: So firewall configuration is correct. | 13:02 |
| dinmikkith | do you have a sound recorder installed? | 13:02 |
| dinmikkith | hallu krecord for example | 13:03 |
| hallu | dinmikkith: ye it looks like i have gnome-sound-record, but nothing happens when i press record | 13:03 |
| hallu | no such package: krecord | 13:04 |
| cjae | SonikkuAmerica: using in debian in a vm and is .....ok | 13:05 |
| dinmikkith | hallu is there any program that could take the sound of the microphone | 13:05 |
| hallu | dinmikkith: yes the test call on skype; it looks like it's working now, after i increased the sound on pavucontrol | 13:06 |
| Gaurab_Dhungana | how do i install ubuntu on my laptop? | 13:06 |

| Emmanuel_Chanel | $ ps aux|grep oidentd | 13:15 |

| Pwnguin_ | So I hit the Windows-key and D? Doesn't work it seems | 13:15 |
| Emmanuel_Chanel | It's the output of oidentd ... where shall I fix that? | 13:15 |
| sianhulo | I already have the /home partition, This space will be used for /, the problem is that /home is between them both And I think that that is the problem | 13:15 |
| MonkeyDust | sianhulo and how large are the separate spaces? | 13:17 |
| Iszak | With mdadm do I create an instance for every partition? | 13:17 |
| sianhulo | MonkeyDust, 8.3gb and 3.5gb, my /always gets full sooner or later, and that's why I'll merge it with swap(I have 8gb of ram, so swap shouldn't be needed) | 13:18 |
| MonkeyDust | sianhulo use 8.3 for / | 13:18 |
| sianhulo | MonkeyDust, I no longer need swap and my /space is insuficient, I want to use all the space | 13:19 |
| sianhulo | there must be a way | 13:19 |
| MonkeyDust | sianhulo or !backup your /home and start re-partitoning | 13:19 |

| mablae | hi! | 13:35 |
| xubuntuliveusb | gee thanks a lot for the help! | 13:35 |
| mablae | I have a dual boot setup win/ubuntu | 13:36 |
| mablae | Now I accidently removed the windows system and boot partiotion | 13:36 |
| mablae | How can I recover these partitions _ | 13:36 |
| mablae | ? | 13:36 |
| BluesKaj | mablae, did you do , sudo update-grub ? | 13:38 |
| mablae | Bluesky, no | 13:38 |
| mablae | BluesKaj: no | 13:38 |
| OerHeks | utc was on BluesKaj, that might be the issue, thnx | 13:39 |
| mablae | BluesKaj: I wanted to reinstall win cleanly | 13:39 |
| OerHeks | 2 timezones, grumble | 13:39 |
| mablae | So i removed the windows system (150mb) partition + install drive | 13:39 |
| BluesKaj | ok mablae so you reinstalled windows after installing ubuntu? | 13:39 |
| ed_ | quit | 13:40 |
| mablae | But windows setup does not recreate this system partition, because there are other ext4 partitions on drive | 13:40 |
| mablae | BluesKaj: I did windows install , then linux, and now want to reinstall win, so zes | 13:40 |
| mablae | *yes | 13:41 |
| mablae | hmm I should set mz locale >) | 13:41 |
| mablae | Grub doesnt come up anymore... | 13:41 |
| BluesKaj | open a terminal do , sudo-update-grub | 13:42 |
| BluesKaj | mablae, | 13:42 |
| mablae | Did windows setup remove the mbr, too? | 13:42 |

| paolo_ | Hello there | 13:43 |
| mablae | Hi paolo_ | 13:43 |
| sianhulo | I need some help, after I tried to maximize a ubuntu partition grub said :"Can't have partition outside the disk!", this are the logs I could gather http://paste.ubuntu.com/5658046/ | 13:44 |
| paolo_ | I have no sound i need Intel HD Audio Driver for 12.04 | 13:45 |
| mablae | BluesKaj: Other approach would be backup the linux partition and start all over again... | 13:45 |
| BluesKaj | mablae, ok , run sudo fdisk -l , find the windows partition . /dev/sdX (the assigned dev) , then, sudo grub-install /dev/sdX | 13:45 |
| mablae | it is deleted, BluesKaj | 13:45 |
| BluesKaj | how do you know? | 13:46 |
| BluesKaj | ther mbr I mean | 13:46 |
| amarcolino | Hi, I have added myself to the web group (www-data), when creating a directory the ownership goes to the user then the group (foobar:www..) is there a way to set it to the group then owner or what I would like is to keep it as the group but still permit me the user to add, delete and read files? | 13:46 |
| paolo_ | i cannot hear sounds or music | 13:46 |
| kunji | Windows setup typically overwrites the mbr -_-, but it's not too bad to just write GRUB back on again | 13:46 |
| mablae | What is special about this system partition_ Can I recreate it with Partion Magic? | 13:46 |
| mablae | Okay, will try now | 13:47 |
| JSF | bekks: I disabled the RAID controller from the BIOS and just made a software RAID 0 for now, it's just for my sunday dev stuff anyway :) | 13:47 |
| paolo_ | what is partition magic | 13:47 |
| mablae | I meant gparted | 13:47 |
| mablae | sry | 13:47 |
| kunji | They're different tools for the same purpose paolo_, partitioning | 13:48 |
| BluesKaj | mablae, it would help if you gave the whole situation instead of pieces at a time | 13:48 |
| paolo_ | i install ubuntu studio alongside with windows 7 without wubi | 13:48 |
| mablae | BluesKaj: 2 main problems: No Bootloader (should be fixed right now) | 13:50 |
| mablae | second problem is windows setup need this f*** system partition... | 13:50 |
| paolo_ | i used grub bootloader | 13:50 |
| mablae | but does not create it unless the drive has no other partitions | 13:50 |
| mablae | So: How create a system partition recognized by windows setup? | 13:51 |
| paolo_ | what about easeus partition or hirens boot cd | 13:51 |
| kunji | mablae: Oh, that tiny little one it puts at the start of the drive? I thought it would have created it while setting up windows. | 13:51 |
| paolo_ | hirens boot cd is better | 13:51 |

| asdf2345 | paolo_ u have to set the disk partitions before the system installation | 13:51 |
| mablae | kunji: Exactly, but only if the drive is empty | 13:51 |
| mablae | BluesKaj: From USB stick I wasn't able to install grub | 13:52 |
| kunji | mablae: It did it for me even with a nonempty drive, maybe it just needs to be the 1st partition on the drive or something, you might have more luck asking in #windows | 13:52 |
| mablae | It says /boot/grub is not readable at boot | 13:52 |

| ActionParsnip | bragex9: install xfce4 using apt-get then logoff and log in to the xfce session, you will at least get a usable session | 14:06 |
| ActionParsnip | bloony: sudo parted -l | 14:06 |
| bloony | bekks: it didn't show up there | 14:06 |
| kunji | bloony: sudo fdisk -l works as well, thought not as well for gpt disks | 14:07 |
| Bragex9 | ActionParsnip: ok. I will try | 14:07 |
| somsip | amarcolino: chmod g+s on the directory, if I understand what you want to do correctly | 14:07 |

| bloony | I'm getting the grub rescue prompt and trying to fix things.. | 14:08 |
| tux30 | hi | 14:08 |
| ActionParsnip | bloony: the right side says the partition type in the parted output | 14:08 |
| bekks | kunji: fdisk -l does not show filesystem types, but only partition ids. | 14:08 |
| tux30 | how open terminal with ubuntu | 14:08 |
| bloony | ActionParsnip: yes, but its blank | 14:08 |
| bekks | kunji: Thats not sufficient to tell which filesystem was created in a partition. | 14:08 |
| ActionParsnip | bekks: it will but ext2,3 and 4 will show ad 'linux' | 14:09 |
| kunji | bekks: It shows what ActionParsnip just said. | 14:09 |
| bekks | ActionParsnip: It will not. You can create whatever filesystem in whatever partition type. | 14:09 |
| ActionParsnip | bekks: not in a default install ;-) | 14:10 |
| bloony | is there another way? As the file system is blank in the parted listing.. | 14:10 |
| amarcolino | somsip: I've tried that but the issue is when www-data gets second ownership some directories and files can't be auto-updated since the web group is meant to have full access, so I am wondering how I can solve this and if it is possible other then manually changing ownership? | 14:10 |
| bloony | I'm getting a unkown filesystem and grub rescue prompt.. | 14:11 |
| kunji | bloony: could be borked then, those aren't good signs T.T | 14:11 |
| bloony | :/ | 14:11 |
| ActionParsnip | bloony: i'd boot to livecd and fsck the partition, also check the filesystem flag in fdisk is set | 14:11 |
| bloony | ActionParsnip: I've tried with fsck, but getting bad maguc number in super-block.. | 14:12 |
| ActionParsnip | bloony: did you try a diffetent superblock number? | 14:12 |

| bekks | zx: No clue, havent dealt with kvm for years now. | 14:17 |
| diamond_raven | this came up in terminal http://paste.ubuntu.com/5658159/ | 14:17 |

| ActionParsnip | bloony: have you tried another superblock number? | 14:17 |
| bekks | zx: XEN and KVM as far as I know. | 14:17 |
| diamond_raven | looks like its a bug in google earth that makes it crash... | 14:18 |
| ZenoArrow | kunji: iptables are blank, so the issue isn't there. | 14:18 |
| ZenoArrow | ActionParsnip: I'll try that. | 14:18 |
| bloony | ActionParsnip: I tried with 8193 as the example says.. and I asked before how do I know which number to use? | 14:18 |
| ActionParsnip | diamond_raven: tried renaming the config folder for the app? | 14:18 |
| ActionParsnip | bloony: you will find others online | 14:18 |

| CajunLanMan | Hello all. I've set up a machine in my house running 12.04, to be used as a server. The problem I'm having, is that I want to run it headless, but the remote desktop only seems to work AFTER I log in to the server. Is there a way I can set it up so that I can remote in before logging in? | 16:35 |
| tj83_KIDS | CajunLanMan, for a headless server I use CentOS full command line. Im not sure your server goals but its the most efficient way to go. | 16:36 |
| tj83_KIDS | CajunLanMan, you can have the server auto login a user account which would provide a session for you to log into remotely even after reboots etc. go to user accounts and you will be able to enable this. | 16:37 |
| CajunLanMan | tj83_KIDS, I'm not quite ready to commit to full command line yet. However, I do need a central machine to serve files to multiple computers. | 16:37 |
| aitsupn | hardware | 16:38 |
| tj83_KIDS | CajunLanMan, samba is pretty easily managed. you would probably be surprised. a single configuration file takes care of this service. | 16:38 |
| CajunLanMan | tj83_KIDS, I thought about just setting it up to auto login, but on the off chance someone decides to break into my home, and walk out with my server, I'd like it to at least require a login password. I'm thinking of keeping it encrypted also. | 16:38 |
| histo | CajunLanMan: freenas is an option as well if you don't want to setup samba... Although samba can also be configured via the web interface with swat | 16:39 |
| histo | CajunLanMan: well the login password isn't security. If you have physical access to the box I could get your files. Unless you used disk encryption now that's another story. | 16:40 |
| CajunLanMan | I'm fine using samba. I also like using 12.04 because I can run my son's Minecraft server on there. | 16:40 |
| tj83_KIDS | CajunLanMan, im not really a ubuntu user, but which service/protocol do you want to use? VNC can open and close sessions through some extra command line parameters. it has been some time. open the manpage for the client your using. | 16:40 |
| CajunLanMan | histo, encryption is on the todo list. The first thing I have to do is get to where I can remote into the machine after it powers up headless. | 16:41 |
| histo | CajunLanMan: ssh is the way to go for that. | 16:41 |
| tj83_KIDS | right histo | 16:42 |
| CajunLanMan | commandline then? | 16:42 |
| histo | CajunLanMan: If it's just a fileserver sure I would just go cli | 16:42 |
| CajunLanMan | It's a file server, as well as a minecraft server. | 16:42 |
| histo | CajunLanMan: It's up to you thouhg. Install a full blown desktop if you want. Doesn't really matter. Your decision | 16:42 |
| CajunLanMan | perhaps I can run minecraft on commandprompt only. | 16:43 |
| tj83_KIDS | CajunLanMan, again, a simple CLI system cant be beat. I bet you can run minecraft server from CLI | 16:43 |
| histo | CajunLanMan: I'd assume the server could be run that way. Since most servers are cli | 16:43 |
| netlar | Ubuntu 13.04 has some serious bugs with the shutdown process | 16:43 |
| tj83_KIDS | you can run most things CLI | 16:43 |
| CajunLanMan | I've got a server 2008 standard license I can use. I'm just trying to do the Ubuntu thing first. | 16:43 |
| tj83_KIDS | netlar, i couldnt even get a 13.04 fresh install to bring me to a desktop so..... | 16:43 |
| * tj83_KIDS not impressed | 16:43 | |
| replaceits | you can run mc servers on cli, i personaly perfer to, better performance vs gui | 16:44 |
| CajunLanMan | Finding myself less and less impressed with the microsoft solution. So this little box is my first foray into trying to use Linux as a server. | 16:44 |
| camz | tj83_KIDS: Waht did you install it on? | 16:44 |
| tj83_KIDS | CajunLanMan, go green in power, less heat, less fans to make noise, more memory opened up, and very secure remote management through ssh. | 16:44 |
| CajunLanMan | Figure I'll start small at the house, ya know? | 16:44 |
| netlar | This is the 5th time I have tried to do a normal shutdown and it locks on me, and I have to power down the computer manually | 16:44 |
| zx | hp bios doesn't support iommu .. so am out of luck to try vga pass thru | 16:44 |
| histo | CajunLanMan: the gui is just unnecessary overhead in my opinion. | 16:44 |
| tj83_KIDS | camz, its a old 2.8ghz celeron. meh, i know its crud. its parts thrown together for a 4 and 6yr old. | 16:45 |

| camz | tj83_KIDS: I see. I installed it on a 6 year old laptop to run a musicbrainz mirror and it went flawlessly | 16:46 |
| netlar | Looks like I will need to reinstall again | 16:46 |
| tj83_KIDS | camz, 13.04 doesnt like the old nvidia FX 5600 lol. 12.04 seems to be ok with it tho. | 16:46 |
| histo | CajunLanMan: My home server is running on a netbook box an Acer Aspire Revo it's got a dual atom processor... does the job quite well for what I do. | 16:46 |
| CajunLanMan | tj83_KIDS, histo, So from the sounds of it, until I can sit down and learn some command line, the only solution is to set the box to log into the desktop automatically, without requiring a password. | 16:47 |
| Dry_Lips | Hi, does canonical accept patches from the community? I think I read something about them not receiving patches anymore? | 16:47 |
| histo | netlar: prehaps you are experiencing some issues with whatever video card you are using and the drive for it. | 16:47 |
| camz | tj83_KIDS: Did you install updates from internet during installation? | 16:47 |
| CajunLanMan | histo, My goal is to eventually build a custom box for this server, which I was leaning toward the atom platform for. Great for low power always on box. | 16:48 |
| tj83_KIDS | histo, very nice. I have a desktop machine that has a low power setup. old P4 high capacity 2.5in mobile drives in a raid. | 16:48 |
| netlar | histo: It will work for days, then for some reason will not shut down properly, then it is messed up | 16:48 |
| CajunLanMan | histo, My backup solution also requires a gui, ( as far as I know) | 16:48 |
| tj83_KIDS | camz, i did allow the updated files for download at install yes. | 16:48 |
| histo | netlar: that's bizaare. Maybe run a memtest on it. | 16:48 |

| jrex__Downstairs | <jrex__Downstairs> But, a I have AFS directorys, and this keep trying to search them for the .Private file | 16:48 |
| jrex__Downstairs | <jrex__Downstairs> AFS is a HUGE global filesystem and I can't figure out how to exclude it - it looks like ecrypt-recover-private uses the find utility maybe | 16:48 |
| jrex__Downstairs | <jrex__Downstairs> I would have hoped the command would have gone directily to the file as I feel that I am telling it exactly where to find it, but it still tries to traverse the ful | 16:48 |

| jrex__Downstairs | basically, I am trying to exclude a extremely large global filesystem from ecrypt-recover-private | 16:50 |
| tj83_KIDS | CajunLanMan, I think your a strong enough user to embrace the power of some traditional track proven linux solutions. ALL of which perform best under CLI. Take a chance. setup a VM on a desktop and give it a test drive. | 16:50 |
| theadmin | LFS: You shouldn't be using the arrow keys, they're evil. Anyway, they work fine for me under Vim, try installing that instead, because, well, "vi" is a fairly reduced version, I'm not sure it understands arrow keys well by default. | 16:51 |
| jrex__Downstairs | I feel that I am telling the command exactly where to find the file which is mounted under /media, but it still tries to traverse AFS - a glocal filesystem on my computer | 16:51 |

| morten77 | anyone that can recomend a music player that plays AHX mod files? | 17:21 |
| morten77 | I downloaded a modarchive for new mods made 2013 and they are inf AHX IT MED MO3 MOD OCT S3M and XM format, but vlc don't like all of those, so now I would like another music player that can do all of them. | 17:22 |
| morten77 | preferably a simple, but yet graphical program. (and no "handle your music library" thing, and no client/server program) | 17:22 |
| morten77 | perhaps there is a version of VLC that can play all of those, anyone that knows where I can download that (compiled for ubuntu 10.04), a stand alone vlc that I can have in the home directory instead of installing in the system whould also be good. | 17:23 |

| netlar | wilee-nilee: those are the whole details | 18:26 |
| MrVlidior | Hello, anyone can help me with dual booting windows from a different hard drive!? | 18:26 |
| lousygarua | niccaballs, do you think I know how? :), I'm not sure if it's a good idea to compile your own kernel under ubuntu, maybe there's a ppa? | 18:26 |
| wilee-nilee | UltimaKR, Identify the onboard hardware and type off connection you are trying, ethernet or wifi. | 18:27 |
| netlar | wilee-nilee: I push the power button on computer and it gets stuck on the Ubuntu splash screen | 18:27 |
| lousygarua | niccaballs, did you try 13.04? it should have an updated kernel following common sense | 18:27 |
| niccaballs | lousygarua, that is what I am using | 18:27 |
| UltimaKR | wilee-nilee: I would prefer to do this on wifi. | 18:27 |
| wilee-nilee | netlar, Fresh install, after messing with it, you description has no real information. | 18:28 |
| wilee-nilee | UltimaKR, identify the wifi card, lspci in the terminal list hardware. | 18:28 |
| netlar | wilee-nilee Messing with it? I did an install, worked yesterday, now not | 18:28 |
| lousygarua | niccaballs, 13.04 uses 3.8.8 which is rather new | 18:29 |
| bleemoo | I'm running 13.04. My housemates have Windows boxen. Whenever I am online, my housemates lose wifi. Is there something I can do about that? | 18:29 |
| lousygarua | so maybe it's not a kernel issue | 18:29 |
| UltimaKR | wilee-nilee: Sorry for my stupidity, but how do I tell what wifi card I have without opening the machine? It's on right now. I already input the SSID and WPA key for the router but it don't know where to go to tell it to connect. | 18:29 |
| lousygarua | niccaballs, can you try the solution with the ccsm? | 18:30 |
| niccaballs | lousygarua, I have to go but will be back in about 15 mins | 18:30 |
| wilee-nilee | UltimaKR, lspci in the terminal should show wifi oinfo. | 18:31 |
| UltimaKR | wilee-nilee: I'm sorry but what terminal? I am brand new to linux, just trying to salvage an old PC. | 18:31 |
| wilee-nilee | !nomodeset | netlar this is a low graphic boot. | 18:31 |
| ubottu | netlar this is a low graphic boot.: A common kernel (boot)parameter is nomodeset, which is needed for some graphic cards that otherwise boot into a black screen or show corrupted splash screen. See http://ubuntuforums.org/showthread.php?t=1613132 on how to use this parameter | 18:31 |

| replaceits | t4nk try locate image-line | 19:38 |
| juniour | Ben66 but i think su will grant root prev | 19:38 |
| t4nk825 | it should be under program files/image-line | 19:39 |
| Ben66 | juniour: no, root has no password by default | 19:39 |
| yofun | Ben66: i mean i wear a headset and i want to echo my output to my input for skype | 19:39 |
| replaceits | t4nk: so in the windows parition? | 19:39 |
| An_Ony_Moose | yofun: oooooh. Open the volume control, go to the "recording" tab. While skype is in a call it should show skype | 19:39 |
| juniour | Ben66 i know that root dosent have any password by default | 19:40 |
| Ben66 | juniour: the effect of that is to make "su" not work, because there isn't a password that you can type in to get root | 19:40 |
| An_Ony_Moose | juniour: in ubuntu you're supposed to use sudo to get root privileges and only when you're sure you know what you're doing | 19:40 |
| t4nk825 | it should b under program files i think | 19:40 |
| yofun | An_Ony_Moose: that doesnt help me | 19:40 |

| BluesKaj | t4nk825, have you bothered looking for a linux equivalent app , surely there is one | 20:29 |
| kuba_ | hello | 20:29 |
| replaceits | the linux equivalent is lmms | 20:29 |
| replaceits | try that | 20:29 |
| t4nk825 | not really im just wondering if i installed it why cant i open it? | 20:29 |
| wilee-nilee | jenkins_, Chat s in #ubuntu-offtopic | 20:30 |

| replaceits | in lmms you can use all the same generators as fl | 20:30 |
| AsSlowAsHell | is there any way to make GRUB "remember" the previous boot option so that next boot it defaults to whatever was the previous boot option? | 20:30 |
| jenkins_ | when my computer goes into power save if I leave it on and walk away, when I move the mouse the screen goes white and stays that way. | 20:30 |
| BluesKaj | replaceits, addreess your suggestions to the person , not to whole chat , he might miss it | 20:30 |
| shaktimaan | A1Recon: what do you mean whit NEw Volume? a new disk ? | 20:30 |
| jenkins_ | ctrl+alt+T doesn't give me a terminal window. | 20:31 |
| replaceits | blue: my bad lol | 20:31 |
| jenkins_ | but the mouse is active and moves | 20:31 |
| wilee-nilee | AsSlowAsHell, yes but a real hassle really same time to just choose the boot | 20:31 |
| A1Recon | shaktimaan: partition in a another hdd.... it's mounted | 20:31 |
| === Ortros is now known as Pies | ||
| AsSlowAsHell | wilee-nilee, so it's possible though? | 20:32 |

| wilee-nilee | AsSlowAsHell, Yes, https://www.gnu.org/software/grub/manual/grub.html | 20:35 |
| jenkins_ | pure, it the shortcut works when my desplay isn't white | 20:35 |
| AsSlowAsHell | looking at 00_header it has something to do with some setting xsaved in GRUB_DEFAULT? | 20:36 |
| pure | jenkins_: what desktop enviroment are you using? | 20:36 |
| jenkins_ | unity | 20:36 |
| Aethysius | Ew. | 20:37 |
| wilee-nilee | AsSlowAsHell, I know it can be done, however would have to search for how depending on what your actual setup and needs are, which you can do as easily | 20:37 |
| === rclancy is now known as Guest89540 | ||

| AsSlowAsHell | wilee-nilee, alrighty will do. Just needed to know if it was possible i can figure out the rest :) thanks | 20:37 |
| Aethysius | I much prefer KDE Plasma to Unity. | 20:37 |
| pure | jenkins_: Have you tried crtl+alt+F1 to jump into a terminal and restart the gui? | 20:37 |
| wilee-nilee | AsSlowAsHell, Cool, good luck. | 20:38 |
| jenkins_ | I've tried that but all I get is the working cursor icon and it still doesn't do anything. | 20:38 |
| erupter | hi guys. installed 13.04 and nvidia 319.17 and now everything is stuck at around 640x480 without even showing unity. can't do nothing from the window manager, must use the cmd line. I tried uninstalling the nvidia drivers and resetting xorg. any other ideas? | 20:39 |
| Fleck | simple problem with no good solution know to me: My Desktop PC, I would love to set up SFTP/SCP server, so that users can upload/download files to/from my PC... FTP - easy, SFTP... meeh, chroots and then my user is not able to access those files etc, etc... | 20:40 |
| pure | jenkins_: What command did you issue to restart unity? | 20:40 |
| BluesKaj | erupter, the 319 driver is experimental afaik , you should be using the 313 or 310 for better performance | 20:40 |
| erupter | so no optimus yet? | 20:41 |
| jenkins_ | thats just it, when i hit ctrl+alt+f1 it just changes the cursor icon for a few seconds and then it goes back to an arrow on a white screen and no terminal opens. | 20:41 |
| erupter | BluesKaj, well install nvidia-current retored my natural resolution, but unity is still missing... | 20:42 |
| jenkins_ | I suppose I could just type "unity --restart" even though I can't see the terminal. | 20:42 |
| pure | jenkins_: I see. If you restart the machine, does it go straight to a white screen? You may need to ssh in to run the command. | 20:42 |
| LFS | how to use apt-get to search the packages repository for the application that I'm looking for? | 20:42 |
| pure | jenkins_: Worth a shot | 20:42 |
| luckyphuq | LFS: apt-cache search app | 20:43 |
| wilee-nilee | erupter, You have compizconfig installed to see if the unity plugin is on? | 20:43 |
| nick_the_dick | I can ssh from my laptop to my desktop (this pc) sometimes - but just now it has started saying "network unreachable". I can't ping either of the computers from the other. Where should I start ? | 20:43 |
| erupter | wilee-nilee, nothing works in graphical mode so even if I did, I couldn't use the window | 20:43 |
| jenkins_ | no, if I just reboot it brings me to the login screen and I can login just fine and the screen is normal. but if I walk away and it goes into standby or dims and shuts off the screen. then I get the completely white display when I wake it again. | 20:43 |
| wilee-nilee | erupter, Did you add a ppa? | 20:44 |
| erupter | wilee-nilee, no manual nvidia driver download and install (just like I always did with my normal lappy) | 20:44 |
| wilee-nilee | erupter, From nvidia? do you no the nomodeset option at grub? | 20:45 |
| === deadweas1l is now known as deadweasel | ||

| An_Ony_Moose | Fleck: install openssh-server | 20:45 |
| erupter | i suppose I can get it... | 20:45 |
| jenkins_ | and it's obvious that the processes are still running in the background, but the display just isn't showing it. so I'm not sure if it's waking to the desktop, or waking to a login screen that isn't displaying. | 20:45 |
| pure | jenkins_: I'm afraid that's out of my experience level. Sorry buddy | 20:45 |
| jenkins_ | no worries, thanks for trying though. | 20:45 |
| Fleck | An_Ony_Moose: openssh-server is already the newest version. | 20:45 |
| jenkins_ | i'm thinking it may be the video driver is stalling or something. | 20:46 |
| wilee-nilee | erupter, get what, and use nicks please. | 20:46 |
| erupter | wilee-nilee, sorry, wilco | 20:46 |
| wilee-nilee | erupter, nvidia drivers are not advised. | 20:47 |
| erupter | wilee-nilee, i have no modeset in my boot cfg, why not? with my old core2 laptop they are fine | 20:47 |
| BluesKaj | erupter, http://askubuntu.com/questions/285627/unity-does-not-start-in-ubuntu-13-04 | 20:48 |
| wilee-nilee | erupter, You are getting no graphic because of driver problems, nomodeset is a low graphic boot to get in a fix stuff if possible from the desktop. | 20:49 |
| erupter | BluesKaj, thanks I'll give that a try | 20:49 |
| An_Ony_Moose | Fleck: then it should work out of the box. You'll probably have to forward port 22 to access it from the outside, how you do that depends on your router | 20:49 |
| Fleck | An_Ony_Moose: I need chroot... | 20:49 |
| Fleck | cause w/o it all users can surf all my PC - stupid! | 20:50 |
| erupter | BluesKaj, oh that's funny: "error spawning command line dbus-launch blah blah child process exited with code1" | 20:50 |
| erupter | wilee-nilee, it's not that I can't get the graphics mode at all, I get to the login manager (now with the correct resolution) but after the login I don't have unity | 20:51 |

| Dr_Willis | linuxnewb2: from what i just googled - it uses the RT3573 driver. | 21:00 |
| erupter | wilee-nilee, BluesKaj problem is I lost the opengl drivers | 21:00 |
| Dr_Willis | linuxnewb2: not ubuntu specific - but heres some guys that had to recompile the driver for it. a newer kernel may allready have the fixs in place. | 21:01 |

| Dr_Willis | Hmm.. whats Kali? that sounds familer... | 21:10 |
| utfans05 | netlar: i uderstand that | 21:11 |

| utfans05 | Dr_Willis: isnt that the chick withthe dragons in Game of Thrones | 21:11 |
| An_Ony_Moose | Fleck: oh sorry. you'll have to remove openssh-server (so thst port 22 is available) and set up a chrot environment using debootstrap. | 21:11 |
| byr | utfans05: I followed the every step in that page so I guess I did | 21:11 |
| Dr_Willis | utfans05: never seen that show. ;) | 21:11 |
| An_Ony_Moose | !debootstrap | Fleck | 21:11 |
| ubottu | Fleck: debootstrap is used to create a !Debian or Ubuntu base system from scratch, without requiring the availability of !dpkg or !APT. It does this by downloading !.deb files from a mirror site, and carefully unpacking them into a directory you can eventually !chroot into. See https://wiki.ubuntu.com/DebootstrapChroot for more information | 21:11 |

| Dr_Willis | netlar: define what you mean by 'safe' Stuff from the standard repos should be virus/malware free. | 21:14 |
| utfans05 | ActionParsnip: guake is awesome | 21:14 |
| ActionParsnip | netlar: if you have only default sources enabled, then yes | 21:14 |
| netlar | Dr_Willis: I just do not want to install anything that may make the system unstable | 21:14 |
| Dr_Willis | netlar: unstable - can depend on a lot of things.. | 21:14 |
| ActionParsnip | utfans05: should be default installed imho, along with unp and pastebinit | 21:15 |
| Dr_Willis | netlar: the most unstable parts are normally drivers for specific hardware that may not be as good as it could be | 21:15 |
| byr | utfans05: which log file should I look for? | 21:15 |
| ro9 | i love guake and i love terminetor more | 21:15 |
| Fleck | An_Ony_Moose: yes, this is my Desktop PC - Would be great to have SFTP accounts with different usernames/logins but files chowned to my user, so that I can access them and manage them... | 21:15 |
| utfans05 | byr: should be the Xorg.0.log | 21:15 |
| Dr_Willis | netlar: its not like you are going to install some game like 'wesnoth' and make the system unstable | 21:15 |
| netlar | Dr_Willis: so Chrome and its PPA would not make things unstable | 21:15 |
| ro9 | terminator in unity help me missing i3wm | 21:16 |
| Dr_Willis | netlar: i would be sprised at a browser that makes the system unstable.. | 21:16 |
| ActionParsnip | fleck: you can do that, install openssh-server | 21:16 |
| Fleck | ActionParsnip: ok, then what? | 21:16 |
| erupter | BluesKaj, thanks for that, appears to be at least doing something | 21:16 |
| Dr_Willis | netlar: there was some bug with google-chrome when 13,04 first came out. but i think its been fixed now. it runs here fine. | 21:16 |
| Dr_Willis | netlar: im even using the google-chrome-os thing for ubuntu ;) | 21:17 |
| netlar | Dr_Willis: but it is not in the software center yet | 21:17 |
| Dr_Willis | netlar: you just said it was a ppa.. so thats not from the default 'sources' | 21:17 |
| Dr_Willis | netlar: chromium-browser is in the default repos | 21:17 |
| ActionParsnip | fleck: then connect on port 22 on the server with your username and password using nautilus as sshfs / sftp. Windows file manager isnt as feature rich so you will need filezilla in windows | 21:17 |

| * Aww snap | 21:19 | |
| brainwashed | mozilla really should consider supporting pepper flash :/ | 21:19 |
| Fleck | ActionParsnip: so I need chroot - chroot means only root can read those files = sucks! | 21:19 |
| Dr_Willis | Fleck: err.. thats not what chroot means.. | 21:20 |
| ActionParsnip | fleck: the usernames and passwords are the same as the ones they log in to the system with. You may be able to tell the service to chown the files to a specified user, the user will get the same access as it does if you are logged in locally | 21:20 |
| ActionParsnip | fleck: i thought you wanted sftp, not chroot | 21:20 |
| Fleck | ActionParsnip: SFTP accounts, not users on my desktop PC - this is my PC, and only mine... I am the only one user here! | 21:20 |
| netlar | Is it ok to have the Unsupported updates checked? | 21:21 |
| ActionParsnip | fleck: the sftp server uses the same accounts as you can login with | 21:21 |
| Fleck | ActionParsnip: bingo!!! Not cool! | 21:21 |
| ActionParsnip | netlar: it is ok, just that results may vary | 21:21 |
| ActionParsnip | fleck: why so? | 21:21 |
| Fleck | ActionParsnip: + you can view all system fs | 21:22 |
| netlar | ActionParsnip: But is it better if it is unchecked? | 21:22 |
| ActionParsnip | fleck: you can as your user which is logged in too....not cool? | 21:22 |
| ActionParsnip | netlar: its ideal to not, bit sometimes the packages can help | 21:22 |

| ActionParsnip | fleck: if you make a user, even if its not in the sudo group, you can see the whole OS file sustem too | 21:23 |
| Fleck | ActionParsnip: right, so? | 21:23 |
| Fleck | ActionParsnip: thats why I am the only user on my Desktop PC :D | 21:24 |
| ActionParsnip | fleck: so if you can log in to an sftp on the same box, why restrict the account when it has the same access locally | 21:24 |
| ActionParsnip | fleck: the files uploaded will be owned by the uploader. So why is chown needed | 21:25 |
| brainwashed | zeep, using intel graphics? | 21:25 |
| Dr_Willis | Paranoia? ;) | 21:25 |
| gordonjcp | Fleck: what exactly are you trying to do? | 21:25 |
| Fleck | ActionParsnip: lol, read again! :D I need SFTP accounts ONLY, not local accounts... I need SFTP accounts that are under my user/group so that I can manage them (delete, remove, rename etc...) and SFTP users cannot leave their dir (chrooted...) | 21:26 |
| ActionParsnip | fleck: "sftp accounts with different usernames/logins" then you say you only have one system account..... | 21:26 |

| gordonjcp | Fleck: https://wiki.archlinux.org/index.php/SFTP-chroot | 21:26 |
| ActionParsnip | fleck: the accounts are one and the same thing | 21:26 |
| gordonjcp | Fleck: ^ that is for Arch but the principle is the same | 21:26 |
| Fleck | ActionParsnip: have you tried proftpd? does just what I need, just wrong protocol! | 21:26 |
| gordonjcp | Fleck: also it took about two seconds of googling to find | 21:27 |

| Fleck | gordonjcp: please read what I said to ActionParsnip | 21:27 |
| gordonjcp | Fleck: you've said lots of things | 21:27 |
| gordonjcp | Fleck: you haven't answered my earlier question | 21:27 |
| CajunLanMan | histo, Found something that does the trick perfectly. Ever heard of xrdp? It works beautifully. Thought I'd pass on the info. Thanks for the help earlier. | 21:27 |
| ActionParsnip | fleck: yes proftpd maintains its own accounts. sftp is essentially over ssh, which is authorized by user name and pass like the local users (or ldap etc) | 21:27 |
| Fleck | gordonjcp: virtual SFTP accounts that are under my username - and SFTP users can ONLY see their directories, cannot walk outside it | 21:28 |
| Ben66 | unpossible | 21:29 |
| sake | why is it that gpg --verify doesn't actually verify that I created a file? | 21:29 |
| Fleck | ActionParsnip: right, thats what I need - SFTP accounts just like proftpd... w/o system users | 21:29 |
| ActionParsnip | fleck: you can make users and not allow them local login but can connect to sftp | 21:29 |
| Fleck | ActionParsnip: yep, still, they can view all my system | 21:29 |
| Fleck | hate that! | 21:29 |
| ActionParsnip | fleck: i dont believe it is possible at all. | 21:29 |
| wdonkey | hello, i want to make an ad-hoc server on my laptop | 21:31 |
| gordonjcp | Fleck: how can they be under your username? | 21:31 |
| ActionParsnip | fleck: may help http://www.thegeekstuff.com/2012/03/chroot-sftp-setup/ | 21:31 |
| gordonjcp | Fleck: that would just be sftp-ing as you | 21:31 |
| wdonkey | it used to be easy, now i cant find how, all i get is wireless ad-hocs | 21:31 |
| Fleck | gordonjcp: easy - different usernames/pass for SFTP accounts but uploaded files are chowned by my user perms | 21:32 |

| joar | I have a reverse SSH tunnel from a [unicorn]:22 listening on [hippo]:21234. [unicorn] is behind NAT, [hippo] is a VPS. | 21:36 |
| Dr_Willis | byr: and its saying.. it dident find an xorg.conf so it made one..... | 21:36 |
| joar | [hippo]:21234 however only listens to the loopback interface. | 21:36 |
| joar | I want to be able to connect from anywhere to [hippo]:21234 and end up at [unicorn]:22, is that possible? | 21:37 |
| ActionParsnip | byr: yes, because it doesnt exist by default. It then makes it, doesnt it? | 21:38 |
| Fleck | gordonjcp: I did, my user won't be able to manage those files - I will have to use root | 21:38 |
| byr | ActionParsnip: yeah but then what? | 21:38 |
| Tex_Nick | this is embarrassing, in 40+ years i've never used a webcam for video conferencing ... my son and daughter in law just bought a webcam & mic at a garage sale (no docs or drivers) ... lsusb showed the cam so i installed "Camorama Webcam Viewer" Cam works great ... she wants to video chat with her sister in Canada tonight, who has been using video conferencing for a few years now. i won't be able to talk to her sister for 5 hrs, so i'm tr | 21:39 |
| Tex_Nick | ying to get this set up on my end ... isn't this just a peer to peer connection ... with both peers running the same application configured with each other's IP ??? | 21:39 |
| ActionParsnip | byr: then reboot | 21:39 |
| byr | let me see | 21:39 |
| Fleck | gordonjcp: I even tried that once, and when I chown users dir to my user, chroot is not working anymore ;D | 21:39 |
| ActionParsnip | tex_nick: depends what app you use | 21:39 |
| Fleck | ActionParsnip, gordonjcp: but hey - there is mod_tls, Ill have to compile proftpd myself, but Ill give it a try! Btw - thanks a lot for help! | 21:40 |
| Tex_Nick | ActionParsnip: yes sir ... i haven't talked with her sister yet ... but all i need to know is what app she is running and her IP ??? | 21:41 |
| ActionParsnip | fleck: np. i wouldnt worry about it too much though | 21:41 |
| ActionParsnip | tex_nick: what app is she using? | 21:41 |
| gordonjcp | Fleck: if you use FTP, make sure you post all your login details somewhere nice and public | 21:41 |
| gordonjcp | Fleck: it'll save a lot of time | 21:42 |
| Fleck | ActionParsnip: I just need a way to exchange files... | 21:42 |
| Fleck | gordonjcp: sorry? | 21:42 |
| ActionParsnip | gordonjcp: haha | 21:42 |
| ActionParsnip | fleck: sftp is a good choice | 21:42 |
| Dr_Willis | scp + winscp +ssh works well for me.. or use the various ubuntu one/dropbox/google drive services.. | 21:43 |
| ActionParsnip | fleck: or you could overkill and connect to ftp via ssh tunnel | 21:43 |
| ActionParsnip | fleck: ftp sends login details and data in clear text. | 21:43 |
| Fleck | Dr_Willis: those services are slow... I have 100Mbit/sec in my country, outside = slow, much slower... | 21:44 |
| trickyhero | How does one patch KDE2 under FreeBSD? | 21:44 |
| Fleck | ActionParsnip: mod_tls... for proftpd = SFTP in proftpd :D | 21:44 |
| ActionParsnip | fleck: i see, or you can just use sftp for simplicity :-) | 21:45 |
| Tex_Nick | ActionParsnip: that's what i won't know till i'm able to talk with her sister in about 5 hrs ... my bet is that she is running a Micro$oft os though ... i'm 13.04 here | 21:45 |
| Fleck | ActionParsnip: not comfortable - all users can view all my files, or I need to use root to manage uploaded files... | 21:45 |
| ActionParsnip | tex_nick: sounds like you need to call them and find out | 21:46 |
| Ben66 | Fleck: then make separate users | 21:46 |
| Fleck | Ben66? | 21:46 |
| ActionParsnip | ben66: they can stil read all the file system etc | 21:46 |
| Ben66 | ActionParsnip: depends how you set it up | 21:46 |
| neekz0r | sftp uses ssh to tunnel, auth_tls uses ftp with encryption | 21:47 |
| ActionParsnip | ben66: all users can read most of the filesystem | 21:47 |
| Ben66 | who cares if they can read /tmp? | 21:47 |
| Fleck | I do | 21:47 |
| neekz0r | a pretty big difference between the two under the hood | 21:47 |
| Ben66 | theres nothing there | 21:47 |
| joar | GatewayPorts yes was my solution | 21:47 |
| Fleck | Ben66 soo wrong.. | 21:47 |
| ActionParsnip | ben66: thats what I thought but its required by the tinfoil hat wearer :-) | 21:47 |

| === Guest883 is now known as LoganCloud | ||
| ActionParsnip | well, there seems to be a solution, i wouldnt sweat it | 21:49 |
| Ben66 | it really comes down to trust. if you don't trust someone to view harmless files on your system, you probably shouldn't be giving them a login in the first place | 21:49 |
| Ben66 | if they're that shady, you can get compromised anyway | 21:50 |
| kubotsu | users can only see global system files, per user files are private unless you are the admin account, no? | 21:50 |
| neekz0r | did you already discuss chrooting them? | 21:50 |
| Ben66 | he wants them all under his user for whatever reason | 21:50 |
| neekz0r | huh? | 21:51 |
| Ben66 | yeah | 21:51 |
| neekz0r | i don't get it, why? | 21:51 |
| Ben66 | nobody gets it | 21:51 |
| Fleck | ;p | 21:51 |
| sasha- | guys you have really outdone yourselves this time | 21:51 |
| sasha- | a Pentium desktop from 2004 is able to not only function smoothly with Lubuntu on it, but it is also able to play 1080p TS videos.... | 21:51 |
| sasha- | ridiculous | 21:51 |
| sasha- | *1080i | 21:51 |
| Ben66 | sasha-: wow. i couldn't play 720p in 2004 | 21:51 |
| Fleck | neekz0r: easy - chrooting is ok, but then I need to manage files uploaded... and my users can't do that | 21:52 |
| Fleck | s/users/user | 21:52 |
| neekz0r | what exactly are you trying to accomplish, fleck? | 21:52 |
| Fleck | :)))) I said that 50 times already neekz0r :D | 21:52 |
| neekz0r | i'm too lazy to scroll up | 21:53 |
| sasha- | Ben66: you had 720p in 2004? | 21:53 |
| sasha- | but it doesn't play the p's too smoothly :P | 21:53 |
| kubotsu | his rep might be jeopardized by onlookers | 21:53 |
| Ben66 | sasha-: yeah, or a computer from then | 21:53 |
| sasha- | mine is courtesy of the junkyard | 21:53 |
| Tex_Nick | ActionParsnip: yes sir i understand ... out of curosity ... is there a standard video conferencing transmission protocol, or is that application specific ? | 21:54 |
| sasha- | heck, I found another one, which with just 512mb more ram, ppl were able to run Mac os x on it | 21:54 |
| sasha- | heck, what's more I even found a 21" unibody iMac once | 21:54 |
| sasha- | which worked for some reason | 21:54 |
| ActionParsnip | there are a few, i bet they mean skype though but many chat protocols support webcam | 21:54 |

| kblin | hi folks | 21:56 |
| ActionParsnip | sasha: then you wont see the quality in 1080i or 1080p as its so small | 21:56 |
| sasha- | yeah it overflowed | 21:56 |
| Fleck | neekz0r: virtual SFTP accounts, uploaded files are my user/group chowned - and SFTP users can ONLY see their directories, cannot walk outside it | 21:57 |
| kblin | can I somehow tell the dnsmasq that network manager likes to start to listen on 0.0.0.0 and forward dns requests for the local network somehow> | 21:57 |
| kblin | ? | 21:57 |
| Ben66 | Fleck: you should look into ACL | 21:57 |
| neekz0r | why can't you do this on a per user basis? | 21:57 |
| Fleck | neekz0r: I need to manage those files | 21:58 |
| neekz0r | and don't you have admin access? | 21:58 |
| neekz0r | aka root | 21:58 |
| Fleck | see - thats not comfortable | 21:58 |
| neekz0r | how is that not comfortable? | 21:58 |
| Fleck | need to change user to manage | 21:58 |
| neekz0r | yes? so? | 21:59 |
| neekz0r | that's what it's there for | 21:59 |
| Fleck | thats it! | 21:59 |
| kubotsu | am sorry to inform you to do it the linux way | 21:59 |
| neekz0r | not just the linux way, the good security way | 21:59 |
| kubotsu | for that, you need to read more about admin group stuff | 21:59 |
| ddssc1 | anyone got hdmi working with nvidia optimus laptop? | 21:59 |
| Fleck | linux is about choise, so... | 21:59 |

| vice_ | https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=zJC8uJMVqos | 22:00 |
| Fleck | neekz0r: get over it - I don't like that way! | 22:00 |
| neekz0r | a swiss army is about choice too, that doesn't mean you take out the screw driver and use it as a knife | 22:00 |
| neekz0r | you may not like that way, but unless you want to write your own bizarre ftp server, that's the only way that you'll find a solution | 22:01 |
| Fleck | neekz0r: looks like you are wrong! | 22:02 |
| neekz0r | ... i fail to see how typing sudo /bin/bash is really that ornerous | 22:02 |
| xwalterx | hola | 22:02 |

| lwells | Was there any fixes/patches for it? | 22:32 |
| mdfe | lwells, have you updated? | 22:32 |
| lwells | Yes, just few min ago | 22:32 |
| mdfe | i had a machine that used to do it, but it was ACPI issue, and update and reboot fixed it, on the next reboot | 22:33 |

| mdfe | scanned? | 22:34 |
| mdfe | is this a widnows question? | 22:34 |

| Ownix | My roomates laptop is slower than dirt, I want to put him on linux whats a good distro with a lightweight desktop that will still have a good feature set? | 22:39 |
| Ownix | Im aware of Lubuntu and Xubuntu but im afraid they wont be user friendly enough or lacking in features | 22:40 |
| bean | Ownix, for light weight stuff i like those two that you listed -- I'm also a fan of a base debian install, or crunchbang | 22:40 |
| netlar | Also , do you need to be logged out of all user accounts before you can shut down the system? | 22:40 |
| looop | you dont need much feature on a old laptop come on | 22:41 |
| anders3408 | hi, i dont know if this will be the correct room to ask , but i am having some trouble using ubuntu, when using ubuntu on a new itx tower pc, , i get random freezes, it can be while surfing internet, or it can be while compiling, totally random. when it does freeze, even reset button on cabinet dont work, REISUB dont work or any other commands. im using ubuntu 12.04 with latest ubadtes | 22:41 |
| looop | how much ram on that laptop | 22:41 |
| netlar | The reason I ask, is because when I am logged in to more than one user account and then I try to shut down, it just brings me to the log in screen | 22:42 |
| Ownix | bean: well the reason im leaning towards ubuntu is everything works out of the box especially on older hardware. and the main aim of the distro is usability for new to linux users | 22:42 |
| bean | anders3408, hmm, that sounds like it could be overheating or something, have you checked your temperatures. | 22:42 |
| Ownix | my only concern is the wireless card | 22:42 |
| bean | Ownix, what sort of wifi card | 22:42 |
| OerHeks | netlar logical, you need to logout all accounts to shutdown. | 22:42 |
| Ownix | not sure | 22:43 |
| netlar | OerHeks: ok, I was just checking | 22:43 |
| bean | Ownix, you might want to check :) you'll want to check how compatible before you blaze forward. | 22:43 |
| anders3408 | yes, i did have the same idear, im having Psensor running all times, and it can do the freeze on max temp at 40 or 60 degree C, it is totally random | 22:43 |
| James_Epp | I need some help with update-rc.d . I have the tftp-hpa service installed, and now I need to make it run on boot. Is 'sudo update-rc.d tftp-hpa defaults' what I want? | 22:43 |
| netlar | OerHeks: so sending the shutdown command does not log you out of all user accounts? | 22:43 |
| bean | anders3408, alright, odd. you've fully updated? "sudo apt-get update && sudo apt-get dist-upgrade" on the command line. | 22:44 |
| anders3408 | yes fully updated, did that for 1 hour ago | 22:44 |
| OerHeks | netlar nope, i am not sure there is a way to force all accounts to shutdown. | 22:44 |
| bean | anders3408, okay, what kernel version are you running? | 22:45 |
| Ownix | bean: I figure ill boot to a live cd and see | 22:45 |
| netlar | OerHeks: just wondering, if that was just my system or that is normal operation | 22:45 |
| anders3408 | just installed ubuntu 12.0.4 , did not change kernel | 22:45 |
| bean | Ownix, good idea. | 22:45 |
| LFS | is there good Active directory implementation in ubuntu like the one on windows server? and what is the package name | 22:45 |
| bean | anders3408, okay, but what does "uname -a" say | 22:45 |
| anders3408 | also was thinking trying another kernel, my cpu is a intel i5, perhaps there is a i5 optimized kernel ? | 22:46 |
| netlar | OerHeks: But I am having issues shutting down from the login screen | 22:46 |

| tuffgong | in need with python installation in ubuntu 13.04 | 22:46 |
| bean | anders3408, I'm seeing a bug report on ubuntu bugs w/r/t that kernel. | 22:46 |
| anders3408 | did a benchmark test also, on cpu and on gpu and ram, no issues found for several hours | 22:46 |
| anders3408 | bean, so you would suggest trying another kernel ? | 22:47 |
| OerHeks | netlar, yes, before you changed your name you did mention that, sounds like aacpi problem, check your bios | 22:47 |
| bean | anders3408, yeah, it sounds like a problem with the kernel, trying another kernel is a good idea, if you have one to boot into. | 22:48 |
| anders3408 | i only have the stock kernel | 22:48 |
| netlar | The bios may affect the shutdown process?? | 22:48 |
| bean | anders3408, could try enabling the proposed updates repo and upgrading through that | 22:48 |
| tuffgong | in need with python3.3.1 installation in ubuntu 13.04 anyone with idea | 22:49 |
| anders3408 | bean : you mean the one that is called precise-proposed ? | 22:49 |
| OerHeks | netlar sure can, see this wiki >> https://wiki.ubuntu.com/DebuggingACPI | 22:49 |
| netlar | OerHeks: thanks, I will read up on that | 22:50 |
| OerHeks | tuffgong, current version in 13.04 is 3.3.1 already | 22:51 |
| bean | anders3408, yeah | 22:52 |
| anders3408 | bean , perhaps it was more easy to try Liquorix kernel ? | 22:52 |
| anders3408 | havnt tried it, but have readed good things about that | 22:52 |
| tuffgong | OerHeks, i tried to root then locate the version python 3.3.1tgz | 22:53 |
| Dr_willis | tuffgong, tried to root? what? | 22:53 |
| OerHeks | tgz? | 22:53 |
| tuffgong | Dr_willis, sudo su | 22:53 |
| Dr_willis | python --version may show the version info on your python | 22:53 |
| Dr_willis | tuffgong, why do you need to do that? and dont use sudo su... | 22:54 |
| netlar | OerHeks: I have never updated a bios before, totally clueless | 22:54 |
| OerHeks | python3 --version | 22:54 |
| OerHeks | netlar, it is not about updates, but settings and those test wist acpi can determine if it is an acpi problem. | 22:55 |
| anders3408 | or pehaps you know of a better optimized kernel ? im using ubuntu to compile android in , so many iops is expected bean | 22:55 |
| netlar | OerHeks: ok | 22:55 |
| tuffgong | Dr_willis, it is Python 2.7.4 i want to upgrade to 3.3.1 | 22:55 |
| OerHeks | tuffgong try python3 --version ( you should have both installed) | 22:57 |
| Xavierg2003 | So I am trying to install windows 7 on an ubuntu computer. It does not recognise the pendrive. Anyone have any ideas? | 22:59 |
| Dr_willis | tuffgong, python3 --version | 22:59 |
| Dr_willis | shows 3.3.1 here. | 23:00 |
| utfans05 | Xavierg2003: you do realize that once you do that you will have to rebuild grub using a recovery disk right? | 23:00 |
| Dr_willis | Xavierg2003, what pendrive? you are installing win7 FROM a usb pen drive? | 23:00 |
| Xavierg2003 | utfans05-What? No. I am just trying to be rid of Ubuntu entirely. My friend does not like it. | 23:00 |
| tuffgong | Dr_willis, please see my pm | 23:00 |
| Xavierg2003 | Dr_willis-Yes | 23:01 |
| utfans05 | Xavierg2003: oh ok then | 23:01 |
| bean | anders3408, i doubt there is a kernel that will optimize your android compiling. | 23:01 |
| Dr_willis | tuffgong, you are using gibberish commands looks like to me... | 23:01 |
| bean | tuffgong, it's usually not good to PM people here. | 23:01 |
| Dr_willis | tuffgong, the command is 'python3 --version' No sudo, no apt* | 23:01 |
| mdfe | Xavierg2003, wen you say 'does not recognise pen drive' di you mean doesnot boot the image, or do you mean cant see the drive? | 23:01 |
| anders3408 | that was not what i mean , but hopefully a kernel that provide good IO to the hdd :) | 23:01 |
| tuffgong | Dr_willis, bean @linuxfoundation:~$ python3 --version | 23:02 |
| tuffgong | Python 3.3.1 | 23:02 |
| Dr_willis | tuffgong, so... your problem is what exactly? | 23:02 |
| Xavierg2003 | mdfa-Cant see the drive. I can once I open Ubuntu but then it tells me that it can not create the file. In bios when I open the boot menu it does not recognise the existance of a flash drive | 23:02 |
| arunkumar413 | hi, i've installed the elgg on the localhost. now i'm the elgg configuration page. its is asking for site email address. which address should i give | 23:02 |
| tuffgong | Dr_willis, bean @linuxfoundation:~$ python3 --version | 23:02 |
| bean | tuffgong, we saw. | 23:02 |
| bean | tuffgong, that means that your python 3 installed and up to date. | 23:03 |
| tuffgong | Dr_willis in to upgrade to the latest version 3.3.1 | 23:03 |
| bean | tuffgong, you have 3.3.1 | 23:03 |
| tuffgong | bean, but when i type python --version @linuxfoundation:~$ python --version | 23:04 |
| tuffgong | Python 2.7.4 | 23:04 |
| Dr_willis | tuffgong, thats how they keep the 2 versions seperate. | 23:04 |
| Dr_willis | anything using python3 needs to specifically call python3 | 23:04 |
| mdfe | tuffgong, if you change the default systme python interpreter to py3 you might break your system | 23:04 |
| bean | yeah, I do not recommend changing the default python interpreter. | 23:05 |
| tuffgong | mdfe | 23:05 |
| tuffgong | mdfe, so i have to left as it is | 23:06 |
| bean | tuffgong, yeah, but you can still call python3 instead of python. | 23:06 |
| tuffgong | mdfe, so do i have to left as it is | 23:06 |
| tuffgong | bean, ok | 23:06 |
| tuffgong | bean, ok thanks | 23:06 |
| Dr_willis | tuffgong, why do you want to change it? if you are writing pyuthon3 stuff.. you make the scripts call python3 | 23:06 |
| Xavierg2003 | mdfa-Cant see the drive. I can once I open Ubuntu but then it tells me that it can not create the file. In bios when I open the boot menu it does not recognise the existance of a flash drive | 23:07 |
| bean | tuffgong, in IRC, please try to not repeat yourself, and keep all of your responses on one line, make it much easier to read. | 23:07 |
| mdfe | Xavierg2003, can you format it from ubuntu ? | 23:07 |
| bean | tuffgong, why are you wanting python3, if you dont mind my asking | 23:07 |
| tuffgong | Dr_willis, thanks | 23:07 |
| Xavierg2003 | mdfe its not really letting me do much | 23:08 |
| mdfe | Xavierg2003, if you use the disk tools in ubuntu (type 'disk' into the dash) can you view and manage the pendrive? | 23:08 |
| Xavierg2003 | mdfe trying that now | 23:09 |
| Xavierg2003 | mdfe it gives the options of disk usage analyser, start up disk creater, | 23:11 |
| wilee-nilee | Xavierg2003, try disks you want disk management | 23:12 |

| wilee-nilee | Xavierg2003, If your usb has a ntfs partition with a boot flag you can exstract the W7 iso to it and it will boot for repair and or install | 23:20 |

| Jordan_U | M0001: 1: We don't support having a root password set, so please run "passwd --lock root" as soon as you can. 2: Add the kernel parameter "init=/bin/bash" from the grub menu to get a root shell. | 23:34 |
| wilee-nilee | M0001, Has nothing to do with grub, so that reference is confusing, You will have to look at how to get the passwords cleared without actually having one. Setting a root password is not advised. | 23:34 |
| M0001 | Jordan_U=What line should i put that? | 23:35 |
| M0001 | At the very end? | 23:35 |
| devfree | vb | 23:36 |
| Jordan_U | M0001: At the end of the line which begins with "linux" (which, being a long line, will wrap around to multiple on screen lines). You'll probably see "quiet splash ", put it after that. | 23:36 |
| M0001 | Ah, after quiet splash? So don't delete 'quite splash'? | 23:36 |
| Jordan_U | M0001: It shouldn't matter one way or the other. | 23:37 |

| utfans05 | thufir_: type top into terminal find the PID for firefox and then press k insert that number and press enter | 23:49 |
| netlar | Hate to admit it, but I think linux has beaten me | 23:50 |
| dang3rm0use | Jordan_U: Sorry to wade into this so late, but only AMD64 bit really matters; intel cam eup with their own version, but it was uselss, so they adopted AMD, after that, 64bit was AMD's version of 64bit, nothing else mattered... | 23:50 |
| thufir_ | I did both, still get: 12557 ? 01:58:10 firefox <defunct> from ps | 23:50 |
| Yinseng | okay, this is gonna sound crazy | 23:50 |
| zvacet | zvacet: /lastlog zvacet | 23:51 |
| Yinseng | but I think typing rsync --version just deleted a whole bunch of files | 23:51 |
| utfans05 | thufir_: so you typed top in terminal, then with that data still up pressed k and inserted the PID and then pressed enter and followed the prompt asking if you wanted to send a signal 15 to the pid? | 23:52 |
| netlar | that has to be record or something, having to reinstall after 2 hours of use | 23:52 |
| thufir_ | utfans05: yes | 23:52 |
| utfans05 | thufir_: and it didnt kill firefox? | 23:52 |
| netlar | I really want to like linux, but don't think it likes me | 23:52 |
| thufir_ | utfans05: it still shows as defunct | 23:52 |
| thufir_ | utfans05: 12557 ? 01:58:10 firefox <defunct> from ps | 23:53 |
| utfans05 | thufir_: try it again and see if there are other instances of firefox working | 23:53 |
| M0001 | Alright; I got to the root, and it allowed me to reset my UNIX password... but when I typed exit, it... didn't. | 23:53 |
| M0001 | Am I supposed to type exit? | 23:53 |
| netlar | I can install it fine, but as soon as I start using it BOOM, it blows up | 23:53 |
| Jordan_U | thufir_: What is the output of "ps -p 12557 -o ppid"? | 23:53 |
| === SeanAdmin is now known as SeanTheTech | ||
| thufir_ | utfans05: did it again, Send pid 12557 signal [15/sigterm] . Jordan, output of ps -p 12557 -o ppid is PPID 1 | 23:54 |
| netlar | Whoever told me to find out if ACPI was the problem, thanks, but all that did was make it unusable again | 23:55 |
| Jordan_U | M0001: No, since bash was init you just killed init :), I should have thought about that. You'll probably need to reboot, but it shouldn't have hurt anything. | 23:55 |
| thufir_ | netlar: i think, usually, it's drivers for graphic cards, in general, at least. | 23:55 |
| M0001 | @Jodan_U: Alright, how do I reboot from there? Do I just type in reboot? | 23:55 |
| noo | #canada | 23:55 |
| netlar | thufir_: so I guess that means ubuntu/linux is not right for this machine | 23:56 |
| thufir_ | M0001: shutdown -h 0 | 23:56 |
| M0001 | @thufir_: Thank you. | 23:56 |
| thufir_ | netlar: or, rather, that the manufacture doesn't have a good graphics card driver? dunno, wild guess | 23:56 |
| Jordan_U | thufir_: I doubt that they have a command prompt anymore. | 23:57 |
| netlar | Well it is an older machinee | 23:57 |
| netlar | thufir_: seems to install flawless | 23:57 |
| thufir_ | netlar: what happens? "blow up"? | 23:57 |
| netlar | thufir_: will not boot up properly | 23:58 |
| netlar | thufir_: better description would be that it does not always shut down propertly | 23:58 |
| rafaelloest | Jordan_U: Jordan? | 23:58 |
| Jordan_U | thufir_: Please join #upstart and ask what you should do about a defunct process owned by init. I'll try to find a likely related bug report. | 23:59 |
| subcool | IS there a trick to watch a movie via samba share? | 23:59 |
| Jordan_U | rafaelloest: sudo apt-get install testdisk | 23:59 |
| thufir_ | Jordan_U: thx | 23:59 |
| Ben66 | netlar: computer specs? | 23:59 |
| Jordan_U | thufir_: You're welcome. | 23:59 |
| subcool | i've gotten it to work before, im unsure whats going on right now. | 23:59 |
| thufir_ | netlar: pastebinit dmesg | 23:59 |
