| _thufir_ | is there some trick to installing SANE so that the samsung unified driver recognizes it? It's installed, but the driver says no such luck: http://askubuntu.com/questions/294965/ | 00:03 |
| SonikkuAmerica | EGamerHDK: (Also see above) So 622 = user read/write; group write-only; everyone write-only. | 00:03 |
| SonikkuAmerica | EGamerHDK: You're better off using chmod | 00:03 |
| SonikkuAmerica | Dr_Willis_: Permissions for dirs are the same, but with x being the "list" bit. | 00:05 |

| Ari-Yang | hi, I have a question, not sure if it has any relation to ubuntu. I've noticed this odd white line on the far left of my screen. It isn't long, rather short, it isn't completely straight, it's like a jagged line. Anybody have an idea on what it is and how I can fix it? | 00:47 |
| Ari-Yang | (I'm on ubuntu 12.10) | 00:47 |
| Bigsista | savagecroc: fail2ban scane logs for regex patterns | 00:47 |
| somsip | savagecroc: if you can get the app to write to a log, Fail2Ban scans all logs for patterns you want to activate a IP block for | 00:47 |
| cheffed | i do have one more questions | 00:47 |
| Dr_Willis_ | savagecroc: how are they trying to connect? | 00:47 |
| cheffed | question | 00:47 |
| SonikkuAmerica | Ari-Yang: What output screen type (TV, monitor, etc.) are you using? | 00:47 |
| somsip | s/all/all nominated/ | 00:47 |

| Ari-Yang | SonikkuAmerica, it's my laptop screen. | 00:48 |
| carfxr | ari, can you put up a screenshot ? | 00:48 |
| Dr_Willis_ | savagecroc: what? they are trying to connect to what service? your mail server? | 00:48 |

| savagecroc | Bigsista: many | 00:49 |
| Ari-Yang | @ SonikkuAmerica laptop isn't hooked up to any monitor with HDMI. The white line is on my laptop screen o: | 00:49 |
| Dr_Willis_ | savagecroc: so they are just connecting to random/invalid web pages on your web server? | 00:49 |
| savagecroc | Dr_Willis_: not just invalid ones.. they find forms on the sites and the post malformed http requests | 00:49 |
| Bigsista | savagecroc: what are thy doing? | 00:49 |
| SonikkuAmerica | Ari-Yang: Is it there only during certain times, when certain apps are up, etc? | 00:49 |
| Ari-Yang | @ SonikkuAmerica dell inspiron n5010 i3 laptop | 00:49 |
| Ari-Yang | it's there all the time | 00:50 |
| Ari-Yang | whenever the laptop is turned on | 00:50 |
| Bigsista | savagecroc: the proper way would be mod_security. but it's a pain to confugure | 00:50 |
| savagecroc | Bigsista: looks like a spider going through the site, picks up every url, picks up every form.. then smashes every single one with malformed packets, malformed urls.. etc | 00:50 |
| Seven_Six_Two | Ari-Yang, does it appear in a screenshot? | 00:50 |
| savagecroc | bigsista: using nginx | 00:50 |
| SonikkuAmerica | Ari-Yang: When it boots up? | 00:50 |
| Bigsista | savagecroc: ok back to fail2ban | 00:51 |
| madsailor | Ari-Yang, post a screenshot as carfxr suggested. If we see your white line, it may be software. If we don't it's your laptop screen itself ;) | 00:51 |
| Ari-Yang | @ Seven_Six_Two what do you mean screen shot? I'm not really sure, I wouldn't think so. @ SonikkuAmerica yes, when the laptop is off you don't see any white line at all, it's there when it boots up. like you can see it before I login to my user on ubuntu | 00:51 |
| Bigsista | savagecroc: botnet or many connects from one ip? | 00:52 |
| savagecroc | this one was single ip | 00:52 |
| Ari-Yang | kk | 00:52 |
| SonikkuAmerica | Ari-Yang: If it's a hardware problem the line won't appear in a screenshot. | 00:52 |

| Mrokii | Hello. I have a problem with Thunderbird after having installed it on a fresh Ubuntu installation. I copied over the ".thunderbird"-folder but for some reason the main messages-window doesn't show any messages for my main Email-account. | 00:52 |
| Seven_Six_Two | Ari-Yang, hit the print screen button on your keyboard. It should create an image | 00:52 |
| Ari-Yang | okay, I'll take a screen shot of my desktop, then use a picture editing program do circle the area where the line is | 00:52 |
| Ari-Yang | that sound good? | 00:52 |
| Seven_Six_Two | Ari-Yang, yes | 00:53 |

| amarcolino | Hi, does anyone know how or if it is possible to search the files inside a directory for a specific word? | 00:55 |
| Dr_Willis_ | amarcolino: grep searches text files for patterns IN the files | 00:55 |
| Seven_Six_Two | amarcolino, yes, it's possible. I'm not sure how, but I would imagine that you would use grep, maybe egrep | 00:55 |
| somsip | amarcolino: grep -r -i word /path | 00:56 |
| Ari-Yang | @ Seven_Six_Two there is no need to u/l the image, when I opened up the screen shot in gimp, I don't see the white line in it | 00:57 |
| ramon | wow there is already a 13.10 version to be test it? | 00:57 |
| Ari-Yang | so it's hardware... | 00:57 |
| Seven_Six_Two | Ari-Yang, yes. Likely dead pixels, or a damaged vga cable. | 00:57 |
| Seven_Six_Two | Ari-Yang, also possibly loose connector? | 00:57 |
| Ari-Yang | hmmm | 00:58 |
| Ari-Yang | I wonder if it can be fixed | 00:58 |
| Seven_Six_Two | Ari-Yang, sometimes pixels can get stuck. | 00:58 |
| Ari-Yang | any way to get them unstuck? | 00:58 |
| === TekkBuzz is now known as tekkbuzz | ||
| amarcolino | somsip, thanks that works :D | 01:00 |
| Seven_Six_Two | Ari-Yang, massage the screen; rapidly cycle colors on screen; disassemble laptop and reassemble; replace screen. | 01:00 |
| carfxr | I have actually had a dead pixel that was fixed by gently massaging the area. | 01:02 |
| paul | dr wilis you their | 01:02 |
| Seven_Six_Two | Ari-Yang, http://www.whitecitysoft.com/sx/screenfix/ | 01:02 |
| Dr_Willis_ | paul: in and out. ;) | 01:02 |
| Ari-Yang | @ Seven_Six_Two what will that site do? | 01:02 |
| paul | dr wilis im back installed Ubuntu on my 80 gig hard drive now when i plug ssd 512 hard drive in will it ask me what i wanna to boot to? | 01:03 |
| Seven_Six_Two | Ari-Yang, cycle colors | 01:03 |
| carfxr | I suggest using a very soft cloth | 01:03 |
| Ari-Yang | ah, it won't damage the screen, will it? | 01:03 |
| Seven_Six_Two | don't push too hard | 01:03 |
| Dr_Willis_ | paul: you will need to boot to ubuntu with the hd pluged in and do a 'sudo update-grub' and it should add windows to the grub menu. | 01:03 |
| Dr_Willis_ | paul: OR you use the bios features of the pc to boot the windows hd directly | 01:03 |
| Seven_Six_Two | Ari-Yang, no, it won't hurt at all | 01:03 |
| Ari-Yang | ah | 01:03 |
| Ari-Yang | okay, I'll try it, but I doubt it would work.. | 01:04 |
| Ari-Yang | testing | 01:04 |
| Dr_Willis_ | paul: you will want to set the pc to boot the 80gb hd. not the ssd | 01:04 |
| paul | ok so let me shut down and plug other hard drive in and be back here in 10 min | 01:04 |
| carfxr | The one I had was right in the center of the screen and I used a new lens cleaning cloth and gently rubbed the area until it was gone. | 01:04 |
| paul | i will be back so give me the commands when i come back | 01:04 |
| veryhappy | does someone of you know how to set ibus to start manually not automatically? i have anthy installed but now it automatically starts with my desktop session probably it's also just anthy that disturbs me, cause auto-completion hotkeys don't work when i have to press ctrl and space in eclipse but it's also set in anthy. | 01:05 |
| Bigsista | anyone using zentyal 3 in a production environment? i'm testing it for a project. | 01:05 |
| paul | ssd hard drive has win7 on it | 01:05 |
| Dr_Willis_ | paul: so you either tell the bios what HD to boot dependoing on what OS you want.. or boot to ubuntu and use grub to select what OS to boot to | 01:05 |
| paul | i want the grub to select | 01:06 |
| Dr_Willis_ | so as i said then.. you set the PC to boot the Linux Hard drive by default | 01:06 |
| Ari-Yang | @ Seven_Six_Two no luck =/ Thanks for the help & suggestions though. | 01:06 |
| paul | wil grub give me an option on the screen to dual boot? | 01:07 |
| Dr_Willis_ | Dr_Willi+| paul: you will need to boot to ubuntu with the hd pluged in and do a 'sudo | 01:07 |
| Dr_Willis_ | | update-grub' and it should add windows to the grub menu. | 01:07 |
| veryhappy | paul: i'd also recommend you to use UUID's instead of /dev/sdx names, that's better not to confuse the pc when you next time boot with a usb stick in your computer | 01:07 |
| Seven_Six_Two | Ari-Yang, did you already try massaging the area? | 01:07 |
| Ari-Yang | yeah, that didn't do anything | 01:07 |
| Ari-Yang | not sure how long I should do it | 01:07 |
| veryhappy | paul: yes it'll give you a possibility to choose what operating system you want to start | 01:07 |
| paul | Not using a usb stick | 01:07 |
| Ari-Yang | and if I would see a change right away | 01:07 |
| Seven_Six_Two | Ari-Yang, did your screen discolor around where you were rubbing? | 01:08 |
| l_r | hello | 01:08 |
| paul | Ok let me go plug the ssd hard drive in and come back here dr willis | 01:08 |
| Seven_Six_Two | while you were pressing? | 01:08 |
| veryhappy | paul, i mean sometimes you just have a data usb stick plugged in and your computer could be confused then | 01:08 |
| Ari-Yang | @ Seven_Six_Two discolor? what do you mean? the whole screen loosing color/the area where the white line is? no, not at all | 01:08 |
| paul | Be back soon | 01:08 |
| Shrap | 'lo | 01:08 |
| Seven_Six_Two | Ari-Yang, no, when you press on an lcd monitor, there should be discoloration around where you press. | 01:09 |
| Shrap | so, if anyone is available to help, i have some major wireless issues. major as in attempting to connect is DoS'ing my wireless network | 01:09 |
| Ari-Yang | @ Seven_Six_Two the thing is, like if I'm on a web page and the background color is black, the white line is there but it sort of takes on the black color. oh that's what you mean | 01:09 |
| veryhappy | Shrap: why would you want to DoS your wireless network? | 01:09 |
| Shrap | i dont, believe me xD | 01:09 |
| Shrap | i just want my laptop to connect and co-exist with my other wireless devices | 01:10 |
| veryhappy | Shrap: what did you get for problems with your wireless network? | 01:10 |
| veryhappy | hmm | 01:10 |
| Shrap | essentially what happens is, i connect to the network and it looks like it's just trying to auth over and over and over | 01:10 |
| Ari-Yang | @ Seven_Six_Two well I pressed on the white line, and naturally there will be discoloration as I press it | 01:11 |
| veryhappy | Shrap: is there anyone who could possibly use your frequency? | 01:11 |
| Ari-Yang | line is still there | 01:11 |
| Shrap | as in wifi channel? | 01:11 |
| veryhappy | Shrap: yes. | 01:11 |
| Seven_Six_Two | Ari-Yang, that's too bad. next step is disassembly. | 01:11 |
| Ari-Yang | not sure what I'd do if I disassemble it | 01:12 |
| Shrap | considereing there are about... 5-6 other devices on the network, probably | 01:12 |
| Ari-Yang | or what I am suppose to do | 01:12 |
| Dr_Willis_ | Ari-Yang: :) check cables for loosness/unplug/plug them back in.. or just deal with the line... | 01:12 |
| Ari-Yang | well, at least the white line isn't noticeable, I could live with it | 01:12 |
| Kb8wlu | dr willis i plugged the win7 ssd sata drive into motherboard but it booted staight to ubuntu i need the commands for grub to give me an option | 01:12 |
| Seven_Six_Two | Ari-Yang, put it back together again. The point would be to ensure that display related connectors are seated firmly. | 01:12 |
| Ari-Yang | yeah | 01:12 |
| Dr_Willis_ | paul: you will need to boot to ubuntu with the hd pluged in and do a 'sudo update-grub' and it should add windows to the grub menu. | 01:12 |
| Seven_Six_Two | Ari-Yang, you could also buy another cable for the screen and test it while it's apart. | 01:12 |

| darthanubis | brent_arnold, 13.04,13.04,14.04 etc see the pattern? | 01:18 |
| veryhappy | got you | 01:18 |
| Seven_Six_Two | !ppa l_r | 01:18 |
| l_r | :D | 01:18 |
| veryhappy | Shrap: kde or gnome or something else? | 01:18 |
| l_r | it does not work | 01:18 |
| johnjohn1011 | i was having really slow internet access and installed WICD on 12.04. What is the problem with network manager? | 01:19 |
| Ari-Yang | darthanubis, you said 13.04 twice :b | 01:19 |
| Seven_Six_Two | ubottu, !ppa | 01:19 |

| brent_arnold | darthanubis, yes, I see the pattern, however what actually decides that 12.04 was going to be long term supported and the build after it isn't | 01:19 |
| Shrap | veryhappy, stock, so... | 01:19 |
| brent_arnold | Or has the build just not been out enough to decide if it's going to be long term supported | 01:19 |
| Dr_Willis_ | johnjohn1011: ive neer heard of wicd being faster or slower then network manager.. both are front ends to the various network config cli tools as far as i know | 01:19 |
| Bigsista | l_r: https://build.opensuse.org/ or https://launchpad.net/ | 01:19 |
| Shrap | veryhappy, definitely not KDE, just looks like gnome with some extra shiny bits | 01:19 |
| Dr_Willis_ | johnjohn1011: unless its using a differnt dns server, or some setting. | 01:19 |
| darthanubis | brent_arnold, thought you saw the pattern. The next release after 12.04 was 12.10. Not 13.04 another LTR. | 01:20 |
| johnjohn1011 | dr_willis_: I will check that. the speed different is amazing | 01:20 |
| darthanubis | really simple | 01:20 |
| veryhappy | Shrap: ok, got you. so it doesn't do anything when you try to connect? | 01:20 |
| Dr_Willis_ | brent_arnold: LTS's are only released every so often.. 2 yrs.. i recall.. | 01:20 |
| brent_arnold | Okay thanks | 01:20 |
| Dr_Willis_ | !lts | 01:20 |
| ubottu | LTS means Long Term Support. LTS versions of Ubuntu will be supported for 3 years on the desktop, and 5 years on the server; with the exception of 12.04 (Precise Pangolin), which will be supported for 5 years on the desktop. The current LTS version of Ubuntu is !Precise (Precise Pangolin 12.04) | 01:20 |
| seronis | darthanubis, 13.04 isnt lts | 01:20 |
| seronis | lts is every 2 years | 01:20 |
| Dr_Willis_ | 14.04 will be the next LTS release | 01:21 |
| darthanubis | really? | 01:21 |
| Shrap | veryhappy, the little wireless icon in the top right flashes repeatedly like it's starting the connection process. if i let it go for long enough it interrupts all wireless traffic on the network | 01:21 |
| Seven_Six_Two | that's why I said 12.04 | 01:21 |
| darthanubis | when did that paradigm change? | 01:21 |
| seronis | 10.04 was the previous lts | 01:21 |
| Dr_Willis_ | been every 2 years for the last few years as far as i know.. | 01:21 |
| veryhappy | Shrap: do you know the ip range of the network? | 01:21 |
| Ari-Yang | brent_arnold, if you don't care about LTS, and this laptop is just to have ubuntu on it, put 12.10 on it | 01:21 |
| Dr_Willis_ | 10.04, 12.04 , 14.04 | 01:21 |
| seronis | ^ | 01:21 |
| Shrap | veryhappy, i do indeed, it's my home network which i control | 01:21 |
| Ari-Yang | but ifyou're going to be updating, and care about lts, go with 12.04 | 01:21 |
| brent_arnold | It's going to be a dual boot W8/Ubuntu | 01:22 |
| Ari-Yang | oh | 01:22 |
| darthanubis | Dr_Willis_, that shows how long I've been using Ubuntu | 01:22 |
| brent_arnold | I tried Fedora 18 but never could find any Wifi support or driver for it | 01:22 |
| Ari-Yang | @ brent_arnold then maybe 12.10, will you care about updating ubuntu version? | 01:22 |
| Seven_Six_Two | brent_arnold, it's brand new? You could try 13.04 | 01:22 |
| Dr_Willis_ | for very new hardware. you might want to use the latest release of ubuntu.. the 12.04 release might not work as well as it could on 'very new' hardware | 01:22 |
| veryhappy | Shrap: very good. let's say perhaps he wants to connect but there's no running dhcp server then you'd have to set your ip address manually and see if there's any success to get in, got me? | 01:22 |
| Ari-Yang | @ brent_arnold 13.04 I think is a bit buggy | 01:22 |
| Ari-Yang | I say go for 12.10 | 01:22 |
| darthanubis | Dr_Willis_, I remember you from when I started asking questions here. You were helpful then and now. Nice to see you still at it. hat off to you. | 01:22 |
| Dr_Willis_ | every release is a bit buggy when it first comes out... | 01:22 |
| Shrap | veryhappy, right, i could set a static ip, but there is a dhcp server, unless it's not requesting an IP properly | 01:23 |
| Ari-Yang | exactly | 01:23 |
| brent_arnold | I did a 13.04, specifically kernels 3.6, 3.8, and 3.10, and none of them had wifi support for my hardware | 01:23 |
| Ari-Yang | and brent_arnold may not want to deal with bugs | 01:23 |
| veryhappy | guys, why not 12.04 it's a lts version | 01:23 |
| * Ari-Yang shrugs | 01:23 | |
| brent_arnold | So I'm sure there's going to be a driver search for it all. | 01:23 |
| Dr_Willis_ | ive had very few issues with 13.04 | 01:23 |
| brent_arnold | What I mean is, I did live iso's of them each, and none of them had the native support for it | 01:23 |
| veryhappy | Shrap: first try to connect, then we have a much better chance to find out what's going on | 01:23 |
| Ari-Yang | brent_arnold, I installed 12.10 while being hooked up to ethernet, so it d/led the wifi drivers for me | 01:23 |
| brent_arnold | Ari-Yang: the Yoga 13 has no hardwire Ethernet. | 01:24 |
| Bigsista | brent_arnold: what model is it? | 01:24 |
| Shrap | veryhappy, you mean with static ip? | 01:24 |
| Ari-Yang | o | 01:24 |
| veryhappy | Shrap: yes. | 01:24 |
| Ari-Yang | well I was able to find the wifi driver easily for 12.04 | 01:24 |
| brent_arnold | Bigsista: It is a Lenovo IdeaPad Yoga 13 | 01:24 |
| Ari-Yang | and it's probably easy to find the wifi driver for 12.10, and probably 13.04 too | 01:24 |
| Dr_Willis_ | for wifi. i find it worth while to find a cheap usb wifi dongle that works out of the box. :) that way if i install to a laptop that needs other wifi drivers. I plug in that dongle. and then grab the drivers for the other wifi card. | 01:24 |
| Shrap | veryhappy, i wont lie, i forget how to do that. also it looks as though it may be trying to force ipv6 on this interface | 01:24 |
| Dr_Willis_ | easier then running a wire. ;P | 01:24 |
| l_r | Bigsista, basically i could also use opensuse.build for building my debs locally, that's nice | 01:24 |
| brent_arnold | Yeah that's probably true, I will try these things. | 01:24 |
| brent_arnold | Thankyou all, will be back. | 01:24 |
| veryhappy | Shrap: that might be another problem you know how ipv6 is built up in difference to ipv4 and the router might not support that. | 01:25 |
| brent_arnold | One last question, and I know this is one of complete preference, but... | 01:25 |
| brent_arnold | With a tablet what flavor would you guys recommend? | 01:25 |
| Shrap | veryhappy, correct, 2 separate stacks. | 01:25 |
| SonikkuAmerica | brent_arnold: What kind of tablet is it? | 01:25 |
| darthanubis | brent_arnold, Jelly bean | 01:26 |
| brent_arnold | It's an ultrabook, a Lenovo IdeaPad Yoga 13 | 01:26 |
| Shrap | veryhappy, so how do i set a static ipv4 on, in my case, eth2 | 01:26 |
| brent_arnold | Never even heard of JB | 01:26 |
| linux_ | hey hey | 01:26 |
| Seven_Six_Two | Shrap, make an entry in /etc/network/interfaces | 01:26 |

| SonikkuAmerica | brent_arnold: Remind me what kind of touch screen IdeaPad has. | 01:27 |
| veryhappy | Seven_Six_Two: thanks buddy for helping me out | 01:27 |
| llakey | I'm running Ubuntu Server 12.10 on EC2. When I run the command "hostname -f" I get a result which includes the search domain us-west-1.compute.internal. I see this value in /etc/resolv.conf. I want to remove this value. I don't see this value anywhere in /etc/network/interfaces. Where is this coming from and how do I remove it? | 01:27 |
| Shrap | veryhappy, what would this entry look like | 01:27 |
| brent_arnold | It's just a 13" IPS touch screen, I'm uneducated on the specific products past that | 01:27 |

| SonikkuAmerica | brent_arnold: Kubuntu ACTIVE 13.04 should be stable. It uses Plasma Active, but it's Kubuntu nonetheless | 01:29 |

| brent_arnold | Awww... | 01:33 |
| Shrap | veryhappy, and now the iface doesnt show up on ifconfig | 01:33 |
| veryhappy | Shrap: sorry, it's supposed to be iwlist scan | 01:33 |
| SonikkuAmerica | brent_arnold: You might ask about it in #kubuntu | 01:33 |
| veryhappy | Shrap: then you should get some informations about the networks | 01:33 |

| Shrap | veryhappy, ok now what? im not sure what sending a dhcp request will do if i'm not on the network | 01:37 |
| veryhappy | Kb8wlu: you have to install another operating system | 01:37 |
| Dr_Willis_ | Kb8wlu: perhaps you should be giving us details as to the problem and try to fix the problem? | 01:38 |
| veryhappy | Shrap: well, it could have been that the system doesn't connect completely but it's already in the network and so you just don't get an information about the connection | 01:38 |
| Kb8wlu | verry happy i have win7 installed on second hard drive but somthing crazy | 01:38 |
| Shrap | veryhappy, no, i disconnect from the network when it fails to connect, otherwise my whole network goes down. | 01:39 |
| veryhappy | Kb8wlu: you can't easily remove another operating system, what are you planning to do? | 01:39 |
| Dr_Willis_ | since linux is on a seperate hd.. you just repartion/reformat that hd... | 01:39 |

| SonikkuAmerica | Bluewulf1257: What did? | 01:52 |
| Bluewulf1257 | What was said while I was gone (my client) | 01:52 |
| Shrap | SonikkuAmerica, well im not sure what veryhappy had me do earlier but im a little worse off now. cant manage my wifi through the gui. but the issue is when i try to connect to my network, it fails to connect and keeps retrying, somehow flooding the network and essentially DoS'ing my network | 01:52 |
| SonikkuAmerica | Bluewulf1257: In Ubuntu, run [ lspci ] in a terminal. | 01:52 |
| Dr_Willis_ | Kb8wlu: no idea what you mean about the e: drive | 01:52 |
| Bluewulf1257 | SonikkuAmerica, I'm having trouble with certain files needed for broadcam being missing | 01:52 |
| Dr_Willis_ | if your windows install was on an e: drive.. that is.. weird... | 01:52 |
| SonikkuAmerica | Bluewulf1257: Do you have another machine? | 01:52 |
| SonikkuAmerica | Bluewulf1257: If not, I'll just direct you to the Web page. | 01:53 |
| Bluewulf1257 | Sonikku, I can't at the moment. :/ I'm on windows doing essential work | 01:53 |
| veryhappy | Shrap: sorry for confusing you earlier | 01:53 |
| Dr_Willis_ | your whold setup was a little odd Kb8wlu - your windows install was on sdb. normally its on sda. i would guess you swapped hds around somehow in the past. | 01:53 |
| Shrap | veryhappy, no worries mate, im just not sure what i broke hehe | 01:53 |
| Kb8wlu | Is it possible that when i tried to install yesterday that i have may installed a linux partition on my win7 hard drive by mistake and that why i am having boot problems | 01:53 |
| Bluewulf1257 | SonikkuAmerica I can't at the moment | 01:53 |
| Dr_Willis_ | Kb8wlu: you rscreen shot earlier showed no linux partions | 01:54 |
| SonikkuAmerica | Shrap, Bluewulf1257: You both should check this page: http://wireless.kernel.org/en/users/Drivers/b43 | 01:54 |
| === linux_ is now known as Brian_M_LL | ||
| Kb8wlu | YES WILLIS should i format my win 7 har drive and rest it back up with boot grub update | 01:54 |
| SonikkuAmerica | Shrap: Get the firmware-b43-installer package, then run [ sudo modprobe -r wl ] and [ sudo modprobe b43 ] | 01:54 |
| Dr_Willis_ | Kb8wlu: i dont see why you think you need to do that... | 01:55 |
| Shrap | alright | 01:55 |
| Kb8wlu | How do i show that boot partition screen again | 01:55 |
| Shrap | just toss it on a thumbdrive and do the standard dpkg -i? | 01:55 |
| Bluewulf1257 | SonikkuAmerica I'll have to do that later, I'm a bit busy. Ugh, parents. | 01:55 |
| Shrap | then modprobe etc | 01:55 |
| Dr_Willis_ | Kb8wlu: use gparted to examine your hard drive layouts. or use 'sudo parted -l' i think | 01:55 |
| Bluewulf1257 | Sorry, I need the help, but don't have the time | 01:55 |
| Kb8wlu | do i have to install gparted on my ubuntu | 01:56 |
| SonikkuAmerica | Shrap: First, I need the output of [ lspci -vnn -d 14e4: ] | 01:56 |
| veryhappy | Bluewulf1257: then note yourself what SonikkuAmerica told you and try it later. | 01:56 |
| Dr_Willis_ | Kb8wlu: if its not installed... yes | 01:56 |
| === wicked is now known as zz_wicked | ||
| SonikkuAmerica | Kb8wlu: GParted is on the live media. | 01:56 |
| Kb8wlu | ok got it | 01:56 |
| veryhappy | guys perhaps you can help me with another issue, last time i tried installing ubuntu on the harddrive on my other pc it failed writing the mbr to /dev/sda, is there any tool for checking the mbr sector of my harddrive? | 01:57 |
| Kb8wlu | so like i have to type gparted in a terminal window to bring it up | 01:57 |
| yofun | can anyone tell me whats wrong here? http://pastebin.com/nH9FNysL | 01:57 |
| SonikkuAmerica | Kb8wlu: Or you can search the Unity dash for it (press the Windows key and type "gparted" (without the quotes)) | 01:58 |
| sayd | any good upstart tutorials out there? i don't know init stuff either :/ | 01:59 |
| SonikkuAmerica | yofun: Why cmake and not GNU make? | 01:59 |
| Shrap | SonikkuAmerica, http://i.imgur.com/qsGrl45.png | 01:59 |
| yofun | idk | 01:59 |
| Dr_willis | Kb8wlu, are you on your live cd? or installed ubuntu system right now>? | 01:59 |
| === dominic_ is now known as mdih | ||

| SonikkuAmerica | Shrap: Nope, b43 won't work for you (14e4:4727) | 02:00 |
| Kb8wlu | this is strange in gparted need to look at this | 02:00 |
| Shrap | SonikkuAmerica, do you feel like troubleshooting this very much? if not i can just reinstall, this is a fresh system. i installed linux, installed steam, did a apt-get dist upgrade and then it broke | 02:00 |
| veryhappy | sayd: next time try searching the internet for yourself, you might get better in it | 02:00 |
| Shrap | SonikkuAmerica, yeah i was under the impression that STA was my only otpion | 02:00 |
| sayd | sure veryhappy ty | 02:01 |
| Kb8wlu | how do i bring up that ubin | 02:01 |
| Shrap | SonikkuAmerica, i was about to start building a little python ide but its kinda useless without internet lol | 02:01 |
| SonikkuAmerica | Shrap: Well, it is getting late... but you might try Googling around | 02:01 |
| Kb8wlu | willis i need help | 02:01 |
| SonikkuAmerica | Shrap: lol | 02:02 |
| sayd | veryhappy i didnt know about upstart so i installed xinetd, are they related? | 02:02 |
| Shrap | SonikkuAmerica, i've been googling for a couple days, the only solution i find is "install sta drivers" lol | 02:02 |
| Shrap | screw it' i'll learn later, time to nuke it from orbit | 02:02 |
| SonikkuAmerica | Shrap: You might try bcrmsmac though: http://wireless.kernel.org/en/users/Drivers/brcm80211 | 02:02 |
| Shrap | SonikkuAmerica, it's strange because sta WAS working until i did a dist upgrade | 02:03 |
| veryhappy | sayd: xinetd is a server that isn't related at all to upstart that is used for your runlevel | 02:03 |
| veryhappy | !upstart | 02:05 |
| ubottu | Upstart is meant to replace the old Sys V Init system with an event-driven init model. For more information please see: http://upstart.ubuntu.com/ | 02:05 |

| Dr_willis | wonder if upstart is going to get replaced in the next release.. or if they are going to push that back again.. | 02:05 |

| === BadLarry is now known as BadLarry_ | ||
| SonikkuAmerica | Shrap: Oh well, I tried... | 02:05 |
| Shrap | baffling | 02:06 |
| Shrap | i booted from my liveUSB | 02:06 |
| Shrap | wifi connects right up | 02:06 |
| Dr_willis | Shrap, try booting with an older kernel. | 02:06 |
| Shrap | thats exactly what i just did, i believe | 02:06 |
| veryhappy | Shrap: what version exactly? | 02:06 |
| veryhappy | uname -a | 02:06 |
| Shrap | little late for that | 02:06 |
| Shrap | im reinstalling | 02:06 |
| Dr_willis | try all the old kernels on your installed system. ;) if one of them actuall did work. | 02:06 |
| Dr_willis | so.. if you reinstall.. and install the broken kernel again.. it will still be broken | 02:07 |
| Shrap | no | 02:07 |
| Shrap | i mean | 02:07 |
| Shrap | when i originally installed, it worked fine | 02:07 |
| Shrap | it only broke after dist upgrade | 02:07 |
| Dr_willis | yes.. the original install was using an older kernel.. that would have still been installed.. and selectable from the grub menus | 02:07 |
| Dr_willis | along with all the other kernels you had installed in the past. | 02:07 |
| Shrap | hmm | 02:08 |
| Dr_willis | a dist-upgrade will pull in the latest kernel which is often 'held back' | 02:08 |
| Dr_willis | so even with your new install.. it still might try to upgrade the kernel.. to the latest, which you claim broke things | 02:08 |
| veryhappy | Dr_willis: let's assume i don't want to go to 12.10 because i want to stay on 12.04 LTS would dist-upgrade pull my system to 12.10 or not? | 02:09 |
| Shrap | now it's doing the same thing in the installer | 02:09 |
| Shrap | possibly a hardware issue at this point, failing chipset or something | 02:09 |
| veryhappy | Shrap: IT? WHAT? | 02:09 |
| Dr_willis | a dist-upgrade does NOT upgrade to the latest release veryhappy - its just a more intensive upgrade of the current release | 02:10 |
| Shrap | the wireless. | 02:10 |
| veryhappy | Shrap: there we go, and what does it do?/ | 02:10 |
| Shrap | veryhappy, you and i have been over this. | 02:10 |
| veryhappy | Dr_willis: thanks for the info | 02:10 |
| veryhappy | Shrap: that one, ok | 02:10 |
| Shrap | indeed | 02:10 |
| veryhappy | Shrap: just wanted to know what exactly | 02:10 |
| Shrap | veryhappy, ah ok :) | 02:11 |
| veryhappy | Shrap: well it might be a corrupt implementation?! | 02:11 |
| Shrap | but it worked BEFORE, for like 2-3 days, which is the one wrench in the geras | 02:12 |
| Shrap | gears* | 02:12 |
| veryhappy | someone get a patch :D fast^^ | 02:12 |
| Shrap | whyyy is there no verbose log for this | 02:13 |
| Dr_willis | Shrap, and the live cd used to work also correct? | 02:13 |
| Shrap | correct | 02:13 |
| Shrap | i was downloading updates inline with the install the first time around | 02:13 |
| Dr_willis | but its not working now... and the live cd hasent changed... | 02:13 |
| Shrap | correct | 02:13 |
| Shrap | the liveusb has been sitting on my shelf untouched since last week when i first installed it | 02:13 |
| madprops | if anybody wants to try this http://chayotico.com/media/html/script.html | 02:14 |

| Dr_willis | ;) | 02:14 |
| Shrap | it's entirely possible that it's a hardware issue...this thing's about 3 years old now and it went to iraq with me | 02:14 |
| Shrap | aaaaand i used to smoke inside with it on my lap. im surprised it's not totally ruined yet. | 02:15 |

| Subhadip | Hi, I am using Ubuntu 12.04. The version of Unity installed on my computer is 5.18 although I can see the latest version for 5.0 series, 5.20 (SRU 4) has already been released one month ago. Anyone has any idea why I haven't received that update yet? | 02:19 |
| Dr_willis | Kb8wlu, the boot-repair tool handles it for me.. when ive needed to do so.. seems like its using EFI from later in that file.. I dont have any systems that use EFI. so thats about the extent of my grub-skills | 02:19 |
| Shrap | Dr_willis, gonna go totally into left field here and go with a totally different distro, see if that does anything. more to satisfy my curiosity than any actual working theory. | 02:20 |
| Kb8wlu | Ouch!!! | 02:20 |
| icedwater | sayd: upgrade of a package or the entire distribution? | 02:20 |
| Dr_willis | Kb8wlu, you said the system was booting into your ubuntu installed system however? | 02:20 |
| Kb8wlu | Yes willis | 02:20 |
| Guest8542 | Hi everyone, I've just done an ubuntu minimal install and every thing has gone perfectly except sound. It seems my nvidia cards hdmi audio is taking priority over my usb headset. | 02:20 |
| Guest8542 | How could I find out what module the nvidia card uses to block it? | 02:20 |
| Dr_willis | Kb8wlu, so remind us of the actual problem then? | 02:20 |
| sayd | icedwater it says New release '13.04' available | 02:21 |
| veryhappy | Guest8542: try lspci first then you know what's built in your computer/notebook | 02:21 |
| icedwater | Oh, that's odd. | 02:21 |
| Kb8wlu | let me restart my system and then get the problem screen shot | 02:21 |
| Guest8542 | veryhappy: It's definitely nvidia card | 02:22 |
| Guest8542 | aplay -l | 02:23 |
| Guest8542 | veryhappy: NVidia [HDA NVidia], device 3: HDMI 0 [HDMI 0] | 02:24 |
| veryhappy | Guest8542: so you want to block the card. you could first find out what library is used and set it in the configuration for modprobe as blacklisted. the other possiblity would be to look for asound.state and try to fix the problem (might be s/pdif that's disturbing) | 02:24 |
| Guest8542 | veryhappy: Yes that's what I was trying to ask, how could I find out what library it uses? I found the appropriate file to blacklist it | 02:24 |
| veryhappy | Guest8542: if you want to paste something use pastebin. | 02:24 |
| Guest8542 | veryhappy: Sorry I figured one line would be alright | 02:25 |
| veryhappy | Guest8542: sudo lsmod | 02:25 |
| Guest8542 | veryhappy: I tried to lsmod | grep snd but I have a whole slew of entries | 02:25 |
| veryhappy | and then look for snd | 02:25 |
| veryhappy | try grep hdmi | 02:25 |
| icedwater | I don't get anything and I'm on 12.04.2, for what it's worth. There might be a switch to turn that prompt off. | 02:25 |
| Guest8542 | veryhappy: Hm one moment | 02:26 |
| xavier23 | Hi guys. Is it possible to use null mailer on ubuntu without an external MTA? | 02:27 |
| veryhappy | guys i need a tool to check my harddrive sector for the master boot record. | 02:27 |
| veryhappy | xavier23: actually i think no, because it receives and sends the emails for you, right? | 02:28 |
| yofun | can anyone tell me whats wrong here? http://pastebin.com/nH9FNysL | 02:28 |
| Kb8wlu | Ok i get grub bootup and it says Ubuntu option advance options for ubuntu and windows 7 loader on /dev/sdb1 and windows 7 loader on /dev/sdb2 wich non of them boot to windows 7 and still botts to ubuntu | 02:29 |
| xavier23 | veryhappy: well, i am running a ubuntu server…. i just need a daemon to deliver mail for me , but i don't have access to an ISP (external) mail server | 02:30 |
| xavier23 | so need to deliver mails myself | 02:30 |
| xavier23 | i'm guessing i can't use null mailer for this | 02:30 |
| Kb8wlu | willis | 02:30 |
| icedwater | yofun: trying to learn cmake myself, can't help much there. What was the issue with the compiler though? Seemed it couldn't find c++. | 02:31 |
| CavalierPrime | use postfix to deliver mail to your email client | 02:31 |
| veryhappy | xavier23: honestly i just used my logic for this, have no clue about mail server tho, sorry | 02:31 |
| icedwater | It is usually a symlink to gcc or g++, right? | 02:31 |
| Bluewolf1257 | So this is why my wireshark is tripping balls... | 02:31 |
| elkingrey | I'm going to be switching to Ubuntu from Fedora, and I'm curious if anybody here has a good methodology for cleaning out their home folder. Sure, I could bring it all with me to the new distro with clean install, but there's a lot of stuff I don't know what it does. I know I want all my music and bookmarks and stuff brought with me. But how do I find stuff I don't need or want and get rid of it? | 02:31 |
| Kb8wlu | willis you their buddy | 02:32 |
| Dr_willis | Kb8wlu, im in and out all day/night | 02:32 |
| madprops | elkingrey: well you have to consider all the configuration (.dot) files which have the configuration options for the apps you have used | 02:33 |
| utfans05 | kkerwin: did you get all your issues fixed? | 02:33 |
| Dr_willis | elkingrey, move over what you know you want.. then archive the rest. ;) cleaning out what you know you wont need.. like tmp and configs | 02:33 |
| xavier23 | CavalierPrime: thanks, i was hoping to avoid having to set up postfix……i guess theres no way to avoid it | 02:33 |
| CavalierPrime | xavier23: https://www.digitalocean.com/community/articles/how-to-install-and-setup-postfix-on-ubuntu-12-04 | 02:33 |
| CavalierPrime | xavier23 i have a server that delivers internal mail, that's the way I do it | 02:34 |
| Kb8wlu | sorry i getting this on boot ubuntu advance option for ubuntu and windows 7 loader on /dev/sdb1 and windows 7 loader /dev/sdb2 non of them boot to windows 7 and system setup | 02:34 |
| xavier23 | CavalierPrime: Ok, thanks | 02:34 |
| Dr_willis | Kb8wlu, but if you tell the bios to boot the windows hd - does it boot windows correctly? | 02:34 |
| Kb8wlu | Yes i just have to switch boot devices in bios | 02:35 |
| Loshki | elkingrey: I take my home folder and rename it to folder.old and start with a new folder. Then, as I discover I need stuff from folder.old, I move it over. (and make a backup before you begin) | 02:35 |
| Dr_willis | Kb8wlu, and what does windows do exactly/grub do - when you try booting those 2 grub entries? | 02:35 |
| Kb8wlu | gives me bunch of startup screens | 02:36 |
| xiamx | I'm sshed in to my college's lab machine, where I'm not root, but I want to create a "rootless envirment" where i can install mongodb and etc, is this possible? | 02:36 |
| Dr_willis | whos startup screens? windows? linux? ubuntus? | 02:36 |
| elkingrey | What I'd like to do is use the backup tool. Then when I have the new install up and running use the backup tool again to put everything into a temporary folder, and then drag over what I need. Is that possible? Or when I use the backup tool to resotre, will it only go to my home folder? | 02:36 |
| Kb8wlu | linux | 02:36 |
| Loshki | xavier23: pretty much all the mailers, postfix included, have canned solutions for your situation... | 02:36 |
| Dr_willis | Kb8wlu, so selecting windows.. boots to linux or just goes back to the grub menu? | 02:36 |
| Kb8wlu | goes back top grub menu | 02:37 |
| xavier23 | Loshki: thanks - i'll take a look | 02:37 |
| Dr_willis | so basically you need to figure out whats incorrect for your system/grub windows items - that its not booting windows.. thats somthing ive rarely neeed to look into. | 02:37 |
| Kb8wlu | should i try to repair the grub again? | 02:38 |
| elkingrey | And another question I have. There used to be a bug with Ubuntu where you couldn't get quality installs, if any, from a SanDisk USB. Has this bug been fixed? | 02:38 |
| Dr_willis | Kb8wlu, somting i would try.. would be to power down.. and swap the cables on the 2 hard drives.. making sda become sdb.. then have the bios boot the linux drive that would be sdb.. its Possible windows is confused by being on sdb | 02:38 |
| wilee-nilee | elkingrey, You have to remove the firmware. | 02:39 |
| Kb8wlu | Ok i will do that willis be right back | 02:39 |
| elkingrey | wilee-nilee: How do I do that? | 02:39 |
| wilee-nilee | elkingrey, From windows if I recall, the web is your answer I believe. | 02:39 |
| elkingrey | I'm running Fedora already. | 02:40 |
| sayd | hmm even after upgrading to saucy im still seeing the "new version is available" | 02:40 |
| elkingrey | wilee-nilee: It's got a Fedora LiveCD installer on it already. | 02:40 |
| elkingrey | wilee-nilee: So, it's already formatted for installing Fedora anyways. I was able to install Fedora just fine. Do I still need to reformat id? | 02:41 |
| veryhappy | ok bye guys, see you later | 02:42 |
| CavalierPrime | kb8wlu: d/l and try the Boot Repair Live CD, may be an easy fix | 02:42 |

| elkingrey | I'm having difficulty finding the instructions to turn Ubuntu iso into a USB disk image from a Fedora computer. | 02:52 |
| Dr_willis | elkingrey, you can dd the iso file straight to usb if you wanted to | 02:53 |
| Dr_willis | elkingrey, or use unetbootin, or other tools at the pendrivelinux site | 02:54 |
| lud_ | help? | 02:54 |
| Loshki | !ask | lud_ | 02:54 |
| ubottu | lud_: Please don't ask to ask a question, simply ask the question (all on ONE line and in the channel, so that others can read and follow it easily). If anyone knows the answer they will most likely reply. :-) See also !patience | 02:54 |
| lud_ | oh | 02:54 |
| elkingrey | Dr_willis: Can you hook me up with the link to instructions? | 02:55 |

| Dr_willis | then was upset when it couldent be done.. | 03:03 |
| exad | LMAO | 03:03 |

| Dr_willis | i forget which one of those console/text browsers could do images... i play with it ages ago... | 03:04 |

| lud_ | I just love irssi | 03:07 |
| deckard | hello. is this the Ubuntu help room? | 03:08 |
| lud_ | yes! | 03:08 |
| exad | tentatively | 03:08 |
| deckard | oh great. I am new to Ubuntu and do not know much about terminal. Will you tell me how to tell terminal to navigate to a folder like when you partially type a name and hit tab and it finishes it | 03:09 |
| Sam_ | the cd command | 03:09 |
| deckard | i need to run a shell script in the home folder :) | 03:09 |
| Sam_ | cd <directory path> | 03:09 |
| frenocha | deckard, you can use wildcards | 03:10 |
| deckard | dont know what they are | 03:10 |
| deckard | when i flick the shell as is, it opens in text | 03:10 |
| ThatOneRoadie | deckard: [ cd <path> ], and remember, starting the path with / starts it at / | 03:10 |
| deckard | in Mint it aske dme if i wanted to run | 03:10 |
| deckard | ty | 03:10 |
| Dr_willis | you can open a terminal, then drag/drop the folder into it.. ;) i recall it filling in the path | 03:11 |
| Dr_willis | with some terminals that is.. | 03:11 |
| ThatOneRoadie | So /home/user/folder != home/user/folder | 03:11 |
| deckard | ty to you all | 03:11 |
| deckard | i will learn them all | 03:11 |
| lud_ | nice google asks me to enable javascript. | 03:11 |
| exad | quick way to home : ~? | 03:11 |
| exad | quick way to home : ~/ | 03:11 |
| exad | Sorry -_- | 03:11 |
| Dr_willis | exad, quicker way.. 'cd' | 03:11 |
| exad | NO WAY | 03:12 |
| Dr_willis | way back 'cd -' | 03:12 |
| lud_ | :o | 03:12 |
| deckard | also, how may i get the lib32 files to create x86 enviroment ? | 03:12 |
| exad | YOU'RE RIGHT! | 03:12 |
| Dr_willis | it pays to read the various bash books.... ;) | 03:12 |
| elkingrey | I'm getting this error when trying to open unetbootin | 03:12 |

| yofun | i fixed part of it | 03:13 |
| yofun | now i have this | 03:13 |
| Dr_willis | looks like it wants that library elkingrey .. | 03:13 |
| Guest32054 | anyone know if amd has drivers for the 8xxx series? | 03:13 |
| Sam_ | deckard - apt-get install ia32-libs | 03:13 |
| deckard | ty | 03:13 |
| deckard | how may i get root? | 03:14 |
| Sam_ | remember to use sudo ;) | 03:14 |
| Dr_willis | elkingrey, you are on fedora? or am i thinking of someone else? | 03:14 |
| Sam_ | sudo apt-get install ia32-libs | 03:14 |
| deckard | ty | 03:14 |
| yofun | /usr/bin/ld: skipping incompatible | 03:14 |
| yofun | /usr/lib/gcc/x86_64-linux-gnu/4.7/libgcc.a when searching for -lgcc | 03:14 |

| T3mp3 | where i can get BOT for scanning timthumb ? | 03:15 |
| lud_ | yofun: broken C++ compiler? | 03:15 |
| deckard | ThatOneRoadie, ty | 03:15 |
| Dr_willis | T3mp3, clarify what you are asking please... | 03:15 |
| lud_ | 5th and 6th line | 03:15 |
| yofun | lud how do i check? | 03:15 |
| elkingrey | Yes, on Fedora | 03:15 |
| lud_ | yofun: try to compile a simple hellow world using g++? | 03:16 |
| Dr_willis | elkingrey, unetbootin may be in the fedora packages.. | 03:16 |
| yofun | eh | 03:16 |
| yofun | lol | 03:16 |
| Dr_willis | elkingrey, or you can use dd to make a bootable usb. | 03:16 |
| T3mp3 | how to scan timthumb ? | 03:16 |
| lud_ | oh and I don't know much about cmake either | 03:16 |
| deckard | do i need to install proprietary divers for video card? | 03:16 |
| lud_ | T3mp3: maybe google :3 | 03:16 |
| yofun | ya the issue os cmake | 03:16 |
| Dr_willis | T3mp3, and whats a timthumb/ and scan it for what? | 03:16 |
| Sam_ | deckard, most likely | 03:16 |
| yofun | not finding it | 03:16 |
| deckard | Sam_, what is the name of that GUI ? | 03:17 |
| Sam_ | what gui? | 03:17 |
| Sam_ | Unity? | 03:17 |
| LLckfan | Does any1 know how to stop Shockwave flash from crashing? I have uninstalled both Flash and my browser (Chrome), installed both from a fresh download, and scanned my computer (come up clean). Everything is updated | 03:17 |
| deckard | for proprietary driver | 03:17 |
| benwa | hey there | 03:17 |
| deckard | video | 03:17 |
| benwa | I need a kernel/grub guru | 03:17 |
| benwa | anyone like this around? | 03:17 |
| Dr_willis | !anyone | 03:17 |
| ubottu | A high percentage of the first questions asked in this channel start with "Does anyone/anybody..." Why not ask your next question (the real one) and find out? See also !details, !gq, and !poll. | 03:17 |
| icedwater | benwa: just ask your question and someone might pop in. | 03:18 |
| Sam_ | I'm not sure what your asking. There should be a little popup in the right hand corner of your screen asking you to install proprietary drivers | 03:18 |
| elkingrey | Dr_willis: Okay, thanks. That was super easy to install. I always forget that these sorts of programs are in the fedora packages. | 03:18 |
| walltender | Will some one point to me a simple daemon allowing plugins? | 03:18 |
| deckard | none yet but i only installed recently | 03:18 |
| Dr_willis | walltender, a simple daemon that does what? | 03:18 |
| Sam_ | deckard - sudo apt-get update | 03:18 |
| benwa | I'm running into a pb with grub | 03:18 |
| Sam_ | then, sudo apt-get upgrade | 03:18 |
| deckard | ty | 03:18 |
| benwa | when I get I land in grub--rescude | 03:18 |
| benwa | same pb as here https://bugs.launchpad.net/ubuntu/+source/grub2/+bug/493268 | 03:18 |
| ubottu | Launchpad bug 493268 in grub2 (Ubuntu) "GRUB2 boots from raid1 device only after "grub rescue> insmod linux" + "rescue:grub> normal"" [Undecided,New] | 03:19 |
| deckard | sorry to seem doubting of your advice, sam_, but is it not safer to just use the GUI updater over terminal? | 03:19 |
| benwa | so if I do "grub rescue> insmod linux" + "rescue:grub> normal" then it boots fine | 03:19 |
| Dr_willis | deckard, the gui is a front end for the cli tools i belive | 03:19 |
| benwa | anyone now how grub works in details? | 03:19 |
| deckard | okay, when i used Mint the said it was bad idea | 03:19 |
| deckard | ok, ty | 03:19 |
| Dr_willis | i cant imagine why... i basically only use the cli tools... | 03:20 |
| lekremyelsew | benwa 1 or 2? | 03:20 |
| Dr_willis | some would say using mint 'is a bad idea' ;) | 03:20 |
| benwa | grub2 I believe | 03:20 |
| SleepyDaddySoftw | possibly quick questions about ubuntu phone/tablet app packaging: 1) Can you distribute shared library packages to the phone/tablet versions of ubuntu? 2) Can self-contained applications list these shared library packages as dependencies, just like the desktop software center? Meaning, they are installed when the app is installed, if not already installed by another app with the same... | 03:20 |
| SleepyDaddySoftw | ...dependency? 3) Once installed, can end-users overwrite installed shared libraries by some means (tethering to a PC, or accessing some kind of desktop mode by hooking up a keyboard/mouse/perhaps a display)? e.g. to install a custom build of a shared library? | 03:20 |
| Sam_ | mint is awesome :) | 03:20 |
| benwa | oh hold I didn't a global update | 03:20 |
| benwa | and a reinstall of grub got triggered | 03:20 |
| benwa | I wonder if that'll fix the pb | 03:20 |
| wilee-nilee | SleepyDaddySoftw #ubuntu-touch | 03:21 |
| benwa | so my situation is tricky cuz | 03:21 |
| lekremyelsew | benwa did you grub-mkconfig after the install? | 03:21 |
| benwa | I wanna hange my setup and have my / on a raid 1 | 03:21 |
| LLckfan | Does any1 know how o make a mouse stop moving on its own | 03:22 |
| benwa | I did update-grub | 03:22 |
| walltender | Dr_willis: a simple monitoring daemon and different plugins allowing to monitoring hardware. But I don't think there's a simple example of this. | 03:22 |
| samskiter | hi. does anyone know how i could go about extending the ubuntu log in to allow log in from conditions other than the user typing a password (for example face recognition log in) ?? | 03:22 |
| benwa | however at the end I get Found Ubuntu 12.04.2 LTS (12.04) on /dev/sda1 | 03:22 |
| LLckfan | Does any1 know how to make the mouse arrow stop moving on its own? | 03:22 |
| lekremyelsew | ah, I'm not familiar with raid systems, I may not ne able to help you | 03:22 |
| benwa | when really it's on /dev/md0 | 03:22 |
| benwa | lekremyelsew I'm gonna try this reboot and see I'm not getting the grub-probe error no such disk I used to get | 03:24 |
| lud_ | well It's just maybe | 03:24 |
| lud_ | because I don't know much about RAID | 03:24 |
| lekremyelsew | bemwa: I'm pretty sure grub labels disks differently than they appear on the filesystem | 03:24 |
| benwa | ok it work now | 03:25 |
| deckard | I am receiving a message that I do not have privileged user and that i may only install in home folder and not system wide. Any drawbacks to this? | 03:25 |
| benwa | but I got an error msg for several seconds | 03:25 |
| benwa | saying error: file not found PRess any key to continue | 03:25 |
| Dr_willis | deckard, install what exactly? | 03:25 |
| benwa | and then it boots fine | 03:25 |
| deckard | Firestorm Viewer for Second Life (world game) | 03:26 |
| deckard | In Mint i use to jsut run from home and i was fine i guess | 03:26 |
| Sam_ | your home folder should be fine | 03:26 |
| benwa | lekremyelsew so you'd sais sda1 should be undetstood md0? | 03:26 |
| Dr_willis | deckard, it will all be in your home.. | 03:26 |
| deckard | okay, i am still trying to get it to run, ty | 03:26 |
| Dr_willis | deckard, if you had sudo riughts you could install it system wide | 03:26 |
| deckard | benefit to this? | 03:26 |
| Dr_willis | but i dont see the point in doing that.. | 03:26 |
| deckard | k | 03:26 |
| LLckfan | Does any1 know how to make the mouse arrow stop moving on its own? | 03:26 |
| deckard | ok | 03:26 |
| Dr_willis | system wide - all users can run it | 03:26 |
| benwa | actually md0 is active raid of sda1 maybe that's why | 03:27 |
| camilo_ | hola como voy a ubuntu en español? | 03:28 |
| elkingrey | Loshki, Dr_willis: Thanks for the help. I've successfully installed Unetbootin, md5sum'ed my iso file and created a live usb image. Is there any sort of md5sum checking I can do on the live image as well? | 03:28 |
| deckard | will all plugins for Firefox work on Ubuntu like it did on Windows? | 03:28 |
| deckard | addons* | 03:28 |
| lekremyelsew | benwa I'm not sure thats the correct name, but I know that it may be inconsistent to the filesystem name | 03:29 |
| lekremyelsew | benwa: I also don't eveb know if grub is RAID aware | 03:30 |

| ae86-drifter | Hi there, I have a jump host that i have access to, and it's IP has access to another network which has a web interface i need access to. How can I forward port 80 via the jump host so that I can access the web interface on my local machine? thanks | 03:42 |
| ZeloZelos | benwa, it gives you a gui to change grub around, instead of typing commands n stuff | 03:42 |
| benwa | oh it's a gui sweet | 03:42 |
| benwa | nice | 03:42 |
| ZeloZelos | ;) | 03:42 |

| camilo_ | the virus can be transferred from my ubuntu to another computer with windows without knowing? I understand that my ubuntu is not affected, | 03:49 |
| ZeloZelos | si | 03:50 |
| camilo_ | si? | 03:51 |
| SIFTU | LLckfan: you can use ssh -D and set your browser proxy | 03:51 |
| ZeloZelos | hay muy pocos virusus ese efecto o ubuntu linux | 03:51 |
| LLckfan | Does any1 know how to make the mouse arrow stop moving on its own? | 03:53 |
| icedwater | camilo_: yes, if you want to be responsible and courteous you might install an antivirus. | 03:53 |
| ZeloZelos | LLckfan, usually when my mouse moves on its own, there | 03:54 |
| ae86-drifter | SIFTU, was that meant for me? | 03:54 |
| ZeloZelos | s a hair in the optics or the mouse is breaking | 03:54 |
| camilo_ | ok | 03:54 |
| SIFTU | ae86-drifter: I might have got the nick wrong.. the jump host one? | 03:54 |
| ae86-drifter | yep | 03:54 |
| SIFTU | ae86-drifter: then yes :) | 03:54 |
| ae86-drifter | I'll try what you suggest, what should the bi,nd address be? | 03:55 |
| ae86-drifter | thanks | 03:55 |
| SIFTU | ae86-drifter: like this "ssh -D 8080:localhost:22 user@remote" | 03:55 |
| SIFTU | ae86-drifter: then point your browsers sock5 proxy to localhost:8080 | 03:55 |
| LLckfan | No hair | 03:55 |
| ae86-drifter | okay i'll try now cheers | 03:56 |
| camilo_ | thanks | 03:56 |
| ZeloZelos | LLckfan, did you check between the optic mirrors and the laser emiter (you would have to take the mouse apart) | 03:57 |
| LLckfan | There is no hair | 03:57 |
| LLckfan | If there was a hair it would do it all the time | 03:58 |
| ZeloZelos | maybe, when is it doing it? | 03:58 |
| ae86-drifter | SIFTU, I am getting the error:Bad dynamic forwarding specification '8080:localhost:22' | 03:59 |
| LLckfan | When it is on the desk | 03:59 |
| Random832 | ae86-drifter: you don't put a target for dynamic forwarding | 03:59 |
| Random832 | that's why it's dynamic | 03:59 |
| SIFTU | ae86-drifter: ah sorry "ssh -D 8080 user@remote" | 04:00 |
| ae86-drifter | Random832, so I should change to localhost:8080 ? | 04:00 |
| ae86-drifter | SIFTU, okay cheers | 04:00 |
| ZeloZelos | if i use my mouse on the couch it jumps around/moves on its own, because the surface is rough LLckfan, but what i ment was, does it do that ramdomly, only when you are using a program, or something like that | 04:00 |
| LLckfan | Random | 04:01 |
| LLckfan | But when it starts it will not stop | 04:01 |
| camilo_ | I want to search directories from internet deep in the software center? | 04:01 |
| ZeloZelos | i doubt the operating system has anything to do with the mouse moving ramdomly, is it wireless, perhaps interferance, if wired, maybe its slightly unplugged or the wire is getting worn | 04:01 |
| LLckfan | wireless | 04:01 |
| walltender | Dr_willis: a simple monitoring daemon and different plugins allowing to monitoring hardware. Do you know any such examples? | 04:02 |
| LLckfan | And when I turn it off then back on it will not move ithout me moving it then it goes crazy | 04:02 |
| SIFTU | walltender: zabbix, nagios | 04:03 |
| ZeloZelos | its probably broken i guess, did you try it in a different computer LLckfan | 04:03 |
| SIFTU | walltender: maybe just snmp | 04:03 |
| ZeloZelos | camilo_, Por favor, inténtelo de nuevo que no entendemos | 04:06 |
| === tjbiddle_ is now known as tjbiddle | ||
| gzy23 | hey | 04:09 |
| ZeloZelos | i think i go to bed too, gnight everyone | 04:10 |
| Dr_willis | hmmm | 04:10 |
| walltender | SIFTU: Thanks for the help, I am looking for a simple example so I could learn how to write one myself. In fact, I am googled how to allow a daemon to add plugins. But I didn't find anything | 04:10 |
| SIFTU | walltender: you want to write your own monitoring system? in what language? | 04:10 |
| Mewtini | um, hi! my computer's being really weird and, well. | 04:11 |
| walltender | SIFTU: in C | 04:11 |
| Mewtini | It's continually locking the folders up and complaining about /var/lib/dpkg/lock after running a sudo apt-get whatever. | 04:11 |
| amh345 | i'vw got a server the has some backups organized by date uploaded via scp. are there any tools available that can merge these folders and remove duplicate files? | 04:12 |
| Dr_willis | Mewtini, the filesystems not getting remounted read only is it? | 04:12 |
| Mewtini | think so | 04:12 |
| Dr_willis | Mewtini, thats a sign of hard drive/filesystem curruption or failure | 04:12 |
| Mewtini | Yeah that's what I thought. | 04:12 |
| Dr_willis | Mewtini, see what 'dmesg' says about things.. look for IO error type lines | 04:12 |
| Mewtini | In terminal? | 04:12 |
| gzy23 | Hi everyone, i'm new to IRC and trying to figure out whats going on. Can anyone inform me why they usually come to the IRC chats? | 04:13 |
| Mewtini | EXT4-fs error (device sda2) in ext4_new_inode:938: IO failure | 04:14 |
| amh345 | i see something called fslint for finding duplicate files. | 04:14 |
| betrayd | !irc | gzy23 | 04:14 |
| ubottu | gzy23: A list of official Ubuntu IRC channels, as well as IRC clients for Ubuntu, can be found at https://help.ubuntu.com/community/InternetRelayChat - For a general list of !freenode channels, see http://freenode.net/faq.shtml#channellist - See also !Guidelines | 04:14 |
| ejv | gzy23: for support and/or education | 04:14 |
| Mewtini | And then lower down it has another IO failure (and a line has "journal has aborted") | 04:14 |
| SIFTU | amh345: yeah you could script it | 04:15 |
| Mewtini | gzy23: Yeah, I haven't usually had to come in here, but... yeah, for those times when my system goes berserk. | 04:15 |
| camilo_ | no problem I go to sleep | 04:15 |
| gzy23 | do you find this to be more helpful than other things like simply googling or posting on a forum? | 04:15 |
| Dr_willis | Mewtini, id be making backups of critical info on that filesystem. then perhaps fscking from a live cd.. | 04:16 |
| betrayd | gzy23: timing is a factor | 04:16 |
| Mewtini | gzy23: I'm not on the Ubuntu forums, but I'd imagine that IRC has the time advantage | 04:16 |
| betrayd | in irc, where you're lucky if people you see know about your problem | 04:16 |
| Dr_willis | biggest resource here is often what people rember seeing at a site, or other places.. to point people to the right dirction | 04:16 |
| Mewtini | and it has the personal troubleshooting thing | 04:17 |
| Dr_willis | askubuntu.com is also worth bookmarking and searching as you wait in irc. | 04:17 |
| betrayd | forum is right when you've got better things to do than sit around | 04:17 |
| Mewtini | Dr_willis: Luckily I've got nothing on here other than some Minecraft saves, which I can afford to lose :) | 04:17 |
| gzy23 | ok cool thanks! | 04:17 |
| Dr_willis | forums can often be hard to get specific info on.. askubuntu.com can be a bit more focused | 04:17 |
| Mewtini | I had a Xubuntu system before this; it crashed after complaining about Xauthority. | 04:18 |
| Dr_willis | Mewtini, common issue is the .Xauthority file getting owned by root. its a security file thing that needs to be owned by the user running X. | 04:18 |
| Mewtini | Which is why I went ahead and dug up an Ubuntu 12.04 disc (which I upgraded to 12.10, then to 13.04) | 04:18 |
| netlar | Mewtini: how did your upgrades go? | 04:19 |
| Dr_willis | hard drives defainatly seem to be the #1 point of failure these days | 04:19 |
| deckard | hello again, how do i find the "additional drivers" gui? | 04:19 |
| Mewtini | Dr_willis: Ah, okay... someone said to try deleting the /var/lib/dpkg/lock but I haven't yet, since it won't let me | 04:19 |
| Mewtini | netlar: They went flawlessly. | 04:19 |
| Dr_willis | Mewtini, if the filesystem is read only.. you cant delete/write anything.. untill its checked/remounted read/write | 04:19 |
| Mewtini | Yeah, I know. | 04:19 |
| netlar | Mewtini: good to know, hope that is my experience when the time comes | 04:20 |
| Mewtini | Not sure why this computer is dying on me so quickly, though; it's only about a year old. | 04:20 |
| Dr_willis | Mewtini, they make hds as cheap as they can these days. ;( | 04:21 |
| SIFTU | Mewtini: yeah HDD quality has dropped since the flood | 04:21 |
| deckard | how do i install the proprietary drivers ? | 04:21 |
| Mewtini | I wouldn't think that a lenovo thinkpad would be that horrible. | 04:21 |
| Dr_willis | if you look at what a typical HD is doing.. its amazing they are realiable as they are | 04:21 |
| deckard | for video cars | 04:21 |
| Mewtini | hrm. | 04:21 |
| Dr_willis | deckard, what video card? what ubuntu release | 04:21 |
| deckard | newest release, Nvida GeForece 9600m GT | 04:22 |
| deckard | Force* | 04:22 |
| deckard | i see it in Software center? | 04:22 |
| Dr_willis | deckard, software-sources tool -> addational drivers tab.. | 04:22 |
| deckard | ty | 04:22 |
| Dr_willis | that should suggest what to install. | 04:22 |
| Mewtini | I'm supposed to be moving over to another computer soon, but it has lower specs than this one and is actually from '07... so hopefully that goes well? | 04:22 |
| deckard | i find it, ty | 04:22 |
| Mewtini | Also, I'm trying to burn the 13.04 .iso to a USB stick with UNetbootin to install it on the other computer. | 04:23 |
| Mewtini | (The other computer doesn't have a cd drive.) | 04:23 |
| Mewtini | And somehow it refuses to work? | 04:23 |
| betrayd | will it boot from USB? | 04:23 |
| Dr_willis | the Pendrivelinux site has alterantives to Unetbootin | 04:23 |
| Mewtini | Yeah, it has that option. | 04:23 |
| deckard | i see so many, any advice which to choose? | 04:23 |
| Dr_willis | or you can 'dd' the iso file straight to the usb flash. | 04:24 |
| Mewtini | BIOS > Temporary boot device > USB HDD 2.0. | 04:24 |
| Dr_willis | deckard, look for one that says sugested/reccomended.. ;) | 04:24 |
| deckard | none say this | 04:24 |
| Dr_willis | flip a coin then i guess.. ;) | 04:25 |
| Mewtini | And going back to corrupt hard drive, I rebooted to try to kick it into working... and instead it failed to get anywhere from the Ubuntu splash. | 04:25 |
| Dr_willis | i dont know what they say... so really cant advise | 04:25 |
| deckard | i see proprietary , tested | 04:25 |
| deckard | and the others are propretary | 04:25 |
| deckard | go with that | 04:25 |
| Dr_willis | Mewtini, eww.. might be worth trying a live cd and see if you can fsck the drive | 04:25 |
| Mewtini | So I ended up rebooting with the recovery 3.8.20-whatever kernel in recovery, and ignored the fact that it couldn't get /tmp to mount | 04:25 |
| Mewtini | (with i to ignore) | 04:26 |
| Mewtini | Hm, okay. | 04:26 |
| Dr_willis | i really have to wonder what the 'real world' lifespan will be of these ssd's that everyone is starting to switch to. | 04:27 |
| Mewtini | A'ight, I just tried fsck for the heck of it | 04:28 |
| Mewtini | Mostly because I won't have access to a live cd for ~week and am too paranoid to wait that long :/ | 04:29 |
| ThatOneRoadie | Dr_willis: About 10 million read/write operations, which is why Trim is required, and if you defrag an SSD I will murder your family | 04:29 |
| Mewtini | It apparently did *something* | 04:29 |
| ThatOneRoadie | %s/required/recommended | 04:29 |
| Mewtini | (c'mon let's go defrag an ssd) | 04:29 |
| * ThatOneRoadie gets the LART | 04:30 | |
| ripthejacker | what does the 127.0.1.1 in the /etc/hosts mean? | 04:30 |
| ThatOneRoadie | ripthejacker: loopback | 04:30 |
| Dr_willis | ThatOneRoadie, makes ya wonder about people running windows on ssds and windows auto-defrag stuff... | 04:30 |
| ThatOneRoadie | i.e. "This Machine" | 04:30 |
| betrayd | huh 1.1 | 04:30 |
| ripthejacker | ThatOneRoadie: no 127.0.0.1 | 04:30 |
| ThatOneRoadie | Dr_willis: 7 and up auto-senses ssd's and won't defrag | 04:30 |
| ripthejacker | *not | 04:30 |
| ThatOneRoadie | 127.0.0.0/8 is all loopback | 04:31 |
| * Dr_willis wonders what if its a SSD in a usb enclosure.. | 04:31 | |
| ThatOneRoadie | try 127.255.237.153 | 04:31 |
| ThatOneRoadie | loops back | 04:31 |
| ripthejacker | ThatOneRoadie: if I try to resolve my hostname it gives 127.0.1.1 | 04:31 |
| ThatOneRoadie | 127.0.1.1 is a loopback address | 04:32 |
| ripthejacker | I want it to resolve to the IP set by the router | 04:32 |
| Dr_willis | ripthejacker, edit your /etc/hosts file perhaps? | 04:32 |
| ThatOneRoadie | sooooooo you want http://TheCompy1/ to resolve to 192.168.2.x? | 04:32 |
| ripthejacker | but will it affect anything else? | 04:32 |
| Dr_willis | it will just affect that machine | 04:33 |
| ripthejacker | Dr_willis: the ip given by the router is not constant | 04:33 |
| ripthejacker | no | 04:33 |
| Dr_willis | ripthejacker, my router has options to make it assign ip based on mac. ;) | 04:33 |
| Dr_willis | so they stay constant | 04:33 |
| ripthejacker | i want my hostname to relsolve to 192.168.1.x | 04:33 |
| walltender | SIFTU: Do you know any such examples? | 04:33 |
| SIFTU | walltender: not in C | 04:34 |
| ripthejacker | Dr_willis: the router in my office may have the same capabilities but i'm don't have acces to it's admin | 04:34 |
| walltender | SIFTU: C++ is also fine I assume. | 04:34 |

| Mewtini | Rebooted Ubuntu after fsck. | 04:36 |
| Mewtini | And it booted without any errors whatsoever. :D? | 04:36 |
| Mewtini | And lo and behold, it's fine. | 04:38 |
| Dr_willis | Mewtini, id be keeping an eye on that hd.. it may be sick. ;) | 04:38 |
| Mewtini | Wow. | 04:38 |
| Mewtini | Oh, it probably is. | 04:38 |
| yesman | :P | 04:38 |
| deckard | i am not able to choose webcam on those tiny flash boxes. what could it be? | 04:38 |
| Mewtini | It killed Xubuntu... | 04:38 |
| SIFTU | Mewtini: yeah run smartmon on it | 04:38 |
| Dr_willis | not like the old days where you could hear the hds dieing on you... | 04:38 |
| Dr_willis | deckard, sometimes with flash you have to 'fullscreen' the flash video/player befor you can click on the flash settings buttons | 04:38 |
| Mewtini | I think that the bad sectors happen to fall where Linux ends up being; my Windows 7 partition has always been fine, although I need to keep that image for school's sake. | 04:39 |
| deckard | i try, ty | 04:39 |
| Mewtini | (If I had my way, I'd delete it and make way for Linux.) | 04:39 |
| Dr_willis | Mewtini, ive repartioned hds to put bad sectors in a 'dont use' partition. ;) | 04:39 |
| Mewtini | haha | 04:39 |
| Dr_willis | those hds tend to be come the 'media drives' for the kids rokus or other media player devices | 04:39 |
| Dr_willis | if they die.. they die | 04:39 |
| Mewtini | Windows 7 has 130GB all to itself; Ubuntu's stuck on a measly 30GB. :( | 04:40 |
| Mewtini | And then about 5GB swap space. | 04:40 |
| Dr_willis | i got a 100gb ssd just for ubuntu in this box. | 04:40 |
| Dr_willis | smazing how fast it boots up | 04:40 |
| Mewtini | :D | 04:40 |
| Mewtini | I first noticed earlier on today when it wouldn't let me unzip an archive | 04:41 |
| Dr_willis | the bios post info takes longer then grub --> login screen | 04:41 |
| Mewtini | And then it got worse when I realized that it wouldn't let me install Amarok (testing media players)) | 04:41 |
| Mewtini | But... for the moment, it's running beautifully. I just need it to live long enough for me to get Ubuntu on the other computer and move my files over... | 04:42 |
| Mewtini | And if anything, I can use Windows if need be. | 04:43 |
| Dr_willis | Blasphmy! | 04:43 |
| Mewtini | I know, right. | 04:43 |
| Dr_willis | whats sad.. i bought a $12 'usb video grabber' that was supposed to work in ubuntu.. but unfortunatly the company switched chipsets and kept the same name for the device.. so it dont work in linux. | 04:43 |
| Mewtini | Oh no... | 04:44 |
| Dr_willis | and the device is so poor.. only the software that came with it.. works in windows. ;) | 04:44 |
| Dr_willis | but for $12 i guess i cant rant too much | 04:44 |
| Mewtini | true | 04:44 |
| Dr_willis | im suprised it works as well as it does.. if it just worked in linux. ;( | 04:44 |
| Mewtini | So it runs well in Windows? | 04:45 |
| Dr_willis | it works. ;) | 04:45 |
| Dr_willis | the device is identified as 'oem-video-capture' ;P | 04:45 |
| Mewtini | But yeah, it's a good thing that it didn't cost, like, $50. | 04:45 |
| Dr_willis | shows how well done the drivers are. | 04:45 |
| Dr_willis | No other video capture software in windows works with it.. jkust the software that came with it. | 04:45 |
| Mewtini | Hm... | 04:45 |
| Dr_willis | and a 30min cartoon - grabs to be a 300mb video file.. been doing video convertings this week. ;) | 04:46 |
| deckard | If i switch to a very low graphics intensive dekstop will that also take away from the game i play? | 04:46 |
| Mewtini | My younger sister has a VisTablet that she used on her Windows 7 school computer (it was shipped with it) and her computer broke | 04:46 |
| === gwinbeee is now known as gwinbee | ||
| Dr_willis | deckard, take away? most games can use their own res settings. | 04:46 |
| Mewtini | and she's mad because it doesn't work on Linux | 04:46 |
| Mewtini | (I have a Wacom Bamboo but she doesn't like how small it is) | 04:47 |
| kvothetech | Mewtini: look up hcl before getting it :) | 04:47 |
| switching | I have two questions: one, why is wubi not opening? two, is it possible to set up a dual boot by booting off of a usb? | 04:47 |
| deckard | i just want to put the least amount of work on my system as far as the desktop and affects. but i want the game to stay as nice as it looks now on ubuntu | 04:47 |
| Mewtini | switching I'd guess that it'd be possible to set up a dual boot? | 04:47 |
| Dr_willis | switching, you can do a full install to a usb hd, or flash drive. and boot it and use grub on the usb to dual boot. | 04:47 |
| Dr_willis | switching, and as for wubi.. its best to forget wubi exists... | 04:47 |
| switching | no i mean install off of the usb to a partition | 04:48 |
| switching | dr_willis ;( | 04:48 |
| switching | but it is still supposed to work right | 04:48 |
| SIFTU | deckard: it will be ok | 04:48 |
| switching | at least for 12.04 | 04:48 |
| Mewtini | wubi works, yes | 04:48 |
| SIFTU | deckard: and probably better without the effects | 04:48 |
| deckard | okay ty, which dekstop do you recomend ? | 04:48 |
| Mewtini | at least it did for 12.10 | 04:48 |
| deckard | do i keep unity/ | 04:48 |
| switching | mewtini any suggestions? | 04:48 |
| switching | i tried disabling firewall/antivirus to no avail | 04:49 |
| SIFTU | deckard: lighter desktops are xfce, lxde etc | 04:49 |
| Mewtini | Um! I used Unity, because I love the look; it does look like it eats my resources (my computer is already pushed to its limits just running an OS) | 04:49 |
| deckard | can i find all the info on getting those from the forums? | 04:49 |
| buengenio | how can I add indicators/applets to the top panel (or whatever it's called) in Unity? | 04:49 |
| SIFTU | unity is one of the heaviest along with KDE | 04:49 |
| buengenio | I don't see any config options for it anywher | 04:49 |
| Mewtini | GNOME 3 is terrible, just sayin'. | 04:49 |
| Mewtini | KDE is slow although I had it at first because it reminded me of Windows. | 04:50 |
| switching | "Use the checkboxes to choose whether you’d like to Install Ubuntu alongside another operating system, delete your existing operating system and replace it with Ubuntu, or — if you’re an advanced user — choose the ’Something else’ option" does this mean I can set up a dual boot while booting off of a usb? | 04:50 |
| SIFTU | Mewtini: not slow for me | 04:50 |
| Mewtini | XFCE is really light and prettier than LXDE, but I like Unity's eye candy. ;) | 04:50 |
| Mewtini | switching: yes, it does! | 04:51 |
| Mewtini | Something else allows you to set up your own partitions and things. | 04:51 |
| deckard | how i get xfce? | 04:51 |
| switching | mewtini alright, hopefully this doesn' | 04:51 |
| crankharder | why is it when I remove a package some /etc/ files don't get removed, and if I rm them manually, and then reinstall the package they aren't put back in place? | 04:51 |
| switching | t mess things up | 04:51 |
| Mewtini | switching hopefully! | 04:51 |
| switching | I tried to manually partition once and my computer went haywire | 04:52 |
| Mewtini | oh no! | 04:52 |
| kvothetech | crankharder: such as | 04:52 |
| crankharder | monit | 04:52 |
| Mewtini | deckard it should be in the software center | 04:52 |
| crankharder | it left everythign in /etc/monit as well as /etc/logrotate.d/monit and some other things | 04:52 |
| deckard | ty | 04:52 |
| Dr_willis | crankharder, thats why apt-get has a PURGE option, and some programs have setting files in their own seperate package | 04:52 |
| Mewtini | I think there's a commandline way to do it but I forget it at the moment | 04:52 |
| Mewtini | Same thing with the other DE's. :) | 04:53 |
| Mewtini | And then there's Enlightenment... | 04:53 |
| deckard | all i see is "About Xfce" | 04:53 |
| crankharder | Dr_willis: ty | 04:53 |
| kvothetech | crankharder: it's supposed to leave the logs and you probably changed something in /etc/monit. | 04:53 |
| DragonRift | hello, I installed the ubuntu-13.04-desktop-i386 on avirtual machine and it installed the Unity3D desktop by default and never let me chose a diff one during install. how do I change this | 04:53 |
| Mewtini | Huh, I'll go on a Google Journey (tm) | 04:53 |
| switching | do you think a 6 year old computer will be able to boot from usb? | 04:53 |
| deckard | no no im not lazy i can do | 04:54 |
| Dr_willis | DragonRift, install a differnt desktop. select it at the login screen | 04:54 |
| kvothetech | DragonRift: ctrl alt f1 apt-get install "gui you want" | 04:54 |
| switching | or will I have to do DVD? | 04:54 |
| deckard | you thnk i can find XFC easy install instruction on forum? | 04:54 |
| Mewtini | switching depends on if BIOS has it as an option | 04:54 |
| Mewtini | also deckard what did you search for? | 04:54 |
| deckard | XFCE | 04:54 |
| switching | mewtini how to check? | 04:54 |
| Mewtini | try 'xubuntu' for the search item | 04:54 |
| Dr_willis | no need to use the console if you can get to a terminal on X. ;) | 04:54 |
| switching | mewtini any way besides rebooting and hitting f12? :P | 04:54 |
| Mewtini | switching sadly, no :( | 04:55 |
| switching | :( | 04:55 |
| switching | ok | 04:55 |
| switching | brb it is then | 04:55 |
| Mewtini | so good luck! | 04:55 |
| switching | ty | 04:55 |
| kvothetech | switching: most can but yeah you have to look to make sure. | 04:55 |
| Kb8wlu | whats the command to dual boot grub window | 04:55 |

| DragonRift | kvothetech: I am new to linux and my programming instructor had me install ubuntu in a VM | 04:58 |
| Mewtini | ah | 04:58 |
| Mewtini | Linux is definitely a bit of a learning curve :) | 04:59 |
| DragonRift | I have been using windows for 17 years | 04:59 |
| Mewtini | Coming from Windows, that is. | 04:59 |
| Dr_willis | WIndows has its own learning curve.. | 04:59 |
| Mewtini | OS X probably isn't as bad. | 04:59 |
| Mewtini | switching, hi! | 04:59 |
| Dr_willis | had to help a gui with windows 8 last week... we couldent figure out where the wireless settings was at. | 04:59 |
| Mewtini | How'd it go. | 04:59 |
| Dewi | DragonRift: you can switch to xubuntu with the xubuntu-desktop package, it should run a bit better in a vim | 05:00 |
| Dewi | DragonRift: er in a vm | 05:00 |
| Mewtini | Yeah Windows 8 seems like it's an evil of its own. | 05:00 |
| switching | if USB-FDD, USB-ZIP, and USB-CDROM are options, am i good to go? | 05:00 |
| Mewtini | yes | 05:00 |
| Mewtini | I think. | 05:00 |
| DragonRift | anyone direct me to an ISO link | 05:00 |
| switching | :D | 05:00 |
| Dr_willis | Os-X has its own weird learning curve also.. well. more of a cliff.. | 05:00 |
| Dr_willis | !download | 05:00 |

| Dewi | DragonRift: I have unity running okay in a VM with 3d acceleration but it's still pretty slow | 05:00 |
| Mewtini | Yes but OS X to Linux is still not that bad. | 05:00 |
| root_ | hey everyone | 05:00 |
| Mewtini | Just because... both are Unix based! ;) | 05:00 |
| kvothetech | os x is messed cause it's supposed to be bsd but nothing from bsd applies (try it) same with all the macports and stuff..they're just messed up | 05:01 |
| root_ | i just downloaded kali linux, is there a speific channel for help with it? | 05:01 |
| === root_ is now known as student | ||
| Dr_willis | root_, check its homepage and see? i would guess #kali | 05:01 |

| kalistudent | thanx kvothetech | 05:01 |
| switching | i give up on you | 05:01 |
| Dr_willis | and hopefully in the next year.. wubi will finally be dead. ;P and burried. | 05:02 |
| Mewtini | Hopefully! | 05:02 |
| switching | but it used to work ;-( | 05:02 |
| Dewi | DragonRift: or you could try gnome-desktop-environment package, but that's gnome 3 so it still might be in 3d and slow, depends on whether it falls back ornot | 05:02 |
| kvothetech | DragonRift: I do most of my installs using debootstrap..you should be able to do that and pick whatever version you want with whatever de you want | 05:02 |
| switching | HALLELUJAH it worked!!!!!! | 05:02 |
| Mewtini | Wubi is really great for those who... who just want to try it out. | 05:02 |
| kvothetech | Dr_willis: people still use wubi? | 05:02 |
| Dr_willis | and frogotten like those silly tweak-ubuntu scripts from years ago.. | 05:02 |
| switching | kvothetech hi! | 05:03 |
| Mewtini | But seriously live cd isn't hard. | 05:03 |
| switching | i do! | 05:03 |
| Dr_willis | and that dangerous 'macbuntu' stuff. | 05:03 |
| switching | mewtini my computer despises it | 05:03 |
| Mewtini | :( | 05:03 |
| switching | last i tried it i had to search for my xp restore cd :( | 05:03 |
| Mewtini | oh, no :( | 05:03 |
| kvothetech | switching: lol why? between kvm, full install, xen, vbox, vmware etc....wubi's kinda pointless | 05:04 |
| switching | but im thinking of getting a system76 laptop this summer | 05:04 |
| Dr_willis | running ubuntu in vbox here on win7 - seems to work decently well | 05:04 |
| switching | do you recommend those? | 05:04 |
| Mewtini | yes | 05:04 |
| Mewtini | I have a Windows 7 VM in VMWare Player over here. | 05:04 |
| kvothetech | switching: I use kvm the most but other than xen al of them are more or less supported very well. | 05:04 |
| switching | mewtini for college? :) im going into comp eng | 05:05 |
| kvothetech | xen is supported but linux is slowly moving away from it | 05:05 |

| Mewtini | switching no, not up to college age... not even close | 05:05 |
| Dewi | Mewtini: it works okay | 05:05 |
| switching | mewtini what do you mean not up to college age? | 05:05 |
| Mewtini | switching that's me being tired, oops. | 05:06 |
| deckard | thank you to those that helped i am looking set up | 05:06 |
| Dewi | oh, dunno about win7 | 05:06 |
| Dewi | I mean it works but I dunno how comfortably long term | 05:06 |
| Dewi | Dr_willis: it runs horribly because of the 3d | 05:06 |
| Mewtini | I read it as "are you going to college" somehow and meant that I'm not close to being eighteen | 05:06 |
| switching | lol what did you mean to say | 05:06 |
| Dr_willis | Dewi, actually the 3d seems to work decently well for me. | 05:06 |
| Dewi | Dr_willis: without 3d acceleration it takes 5 seconds to render a window, with 3d it still takes a second | 05:07 |
| switching | mewtini oh i see | 05:07 |
| switching | any idea why wubi is downloading amd64 when i have 32bit xp? | 05:07 |
| kvothetech | Dewi: does your host have direct acceleration support in the kernel or is it emulating it even with acceleration | 05:07 |
| Mewtini | switching ?! Wow, that's really weird. | 05:08 |
| Dewi | kvothetech: I have guest additions installed, if that's what you mean | 05:08 |
| Mewtini | It isn't set to or something like that, is it. | 05:08 |
| switching | mewtini should i cancel? | 05:08 |
| bcbc2 | switching: many 64bit computers come with a 32bit windows | 05:08 |
| kvothetech | switching: unless youre on something pre 2002, netbook, or a phone 64 bit's fine and probably preferable | 05:08 |
| bcbc2 | switching: unless you want 32bit ubuntu, you can safely leave it | 05:08 |
| Dewi | kvothetech: debian runs fine in 2d and 3d even without guest additions... | 05:08 |
| switching | bcbc2 i have 2gb of ram | 05:09 |
| DragonRift | gawd, this is making me cry its so slow | 05:09 |
| switching | the max for my mb | 05:09 |
| kvothetech | switching: what cpu | 05:09 |
| kvothetech | DragonRift: ? | 05:09 |
| bcbc2 | switching: I don't think it matters. I'd run 64bit if the computer supports it. | 05:09 |
| kvothetech | Dewi: i mean in your kernel..on the host..do you have 3d guest support built in | 05:09 |

| kvothetech | DragonRift: that'll give you a terminal to work with ... | 05:10 |
| kalistudent | for the next guy that asks | 05:10 |
| Mewtini | intel core 2 duo and 2GB RAM... I wish that I had a high enough memory that I could run 64bit though. | 05:10 |
| kvothetech | Mewtini: that can run 64 bit..you don't NEED 4gb ram to be 64 bit | 05:10 |
| kvothetech | al the core 2 duo are 64 bit cpu's | 05:10 |
| switching | kvothetech can i? pentium four an 2gb? | 05:10 |
| Mewtini | yeah, I knew that the processor was 64bit | 05:11 |
| SIFTU | switching: 32bit will use about 10% less RAM | 05:11 |
| kvothetech | Mewtini: you can run it then. | 05:11 |
| Mewtini | Maybe it is but would it run okay with that amount of RAM? | 05:11 |
| switching | also can you upgrade to 13.04 after installing 12.04 through wubi | 05:11 |
| Mewtini | switching yes. | 05:11 |
| kvothetech | SIFTU: lol where you get that from | 05:11 |
| Mewtini | I'd imagine so! | 05:11 |
| switching | siftu but what are the pluses to 64? | 05:11 |
| Dewi | actually that was a different host, I should try both on this host sometime | 05:11 |
| bcbc2 | switching: if you want 13.04 use the 13.04 wubi. it will save you a lot of time | 05:11 |
| switching | bcbc2 doesnt exist i think, wubi only works with 12.04 now according to the site | 05:12 |
| kvothetech | switching: i don't think he has a clue what he's talking about...10 percent less ram would only be true MAYBE if you ran...nothing? | 05:12 |
| SIFTU | switching: 64 can address more RAM | 05:12 |
| SIFTU | kvothetech: ;) | 05:12 |
| bcbc2 | switching: yeah it does exist | 05:12 |
| switching | siftu my mb only holds 2 gb max lol | 05:12 |
| Dewi | Dr_willis: I am curious, is your OpenGL renderer and version "Chromium" ? | 05:12 |
| Mewtini | switching: if your computer's already acting funky then it might be a good idea to use 12.04LTS for stability's sake | 05:12 |
| SIFTU | switching: which is why I would go 32 bit | 05:13 |
| Mewtini | and if it runs okay then, well, yeah... upgrade | 05:13 |
| bcbc2 | switching: http://releases.ubuntu.com/13.04/ look there | 05:13 |
| switching | bcbc2 link? 0.0 | 05:13 |
| switching | ty | 05:13 |
| kvothetech | SIFTU: where you get that 32 bit uses 10percent less ram? | 05:13 |
| switching | siftu which means i need the i386 one right? | 05:13 |
| SIFTU | kvothetech: it's well known http://www.lowendbox.com/blog/stick-to-32-bit-for-your-low-end-box/ | 05:13 |
| Mewtini | if your computer is 32 bit, then yeah, switching | 05:14 |
| Dr_willis | Dewi, loading it up now.. i got video reencoding.. :) so my whole system is slow.. | 05:14 |
| switching | mewtini cool | 05:14 |
| Mewtini | switching sounds like pentium 4's are all 32bit/i386's, yeah | 05:14 |
| Mewtini | according to a quick google search | 05:15 |
| Dewi | kvothetech: it makes sense because the default integer storage size doubles in 64-bit | 05:15 |
| SIFTU | kvothetech: this guy says 30% http://forums.linuxmint.com/viewtopic.php?f=46&t=111482 | 05:15 |
| Dewi | the exact amount depends on how much of your code is storing things like integers, versus other blocks of RAM | 05:15 |
| WeThePeople | what dir. does a tar.gz go | 05:15 |
| kvothetech | Dewi: yeah but that's implying you're running a ton of shitty scripts that don't allocate memory etc properly... | 05:15 |
| Dr_willis | Dewi, what are you wanting to know? :) i got the vm loaded | 05:15 |
| Dewi | kvothetech: what's shitty about storing ints? | 05:16 |
| switching | mewtini weird that it dled the 64 then | 05:16 |
| Dewi | Dr_willis: /usr/lib/nux/unity_support_test -p | 05:16 |
| SIFTU | kvothetech: so you didnt read it at all | 05:16 |
| Mewtini | switching does it autodetect?? | 05:16 |
| Mewtini | I haven't used Wubi in forever, so... | 05:16 |
| Dewi | Dr_willis: what renderer and version does that say you have? | 05:16 |
| switching | mewtini it's only temporary until i get a new comp | 05:16 |
| Mewtini | ah | 05:17 |
| switching | dont judge me lol | 05:17 |
| Dr_willis | Dewi, chroomium 1.9 | 05:17 |
| Mewtini | switching I found this bit, which is why I'm not sure; "I do not think there were any 64bit P4s made, I could be wrong though." | 05:17 |
| Dewi | Dr_willis: cool, that's what I get too. It runs okay but not particularly well. | 05:17 |
| SIFTU | kvothetech: here is an ubuntu example http://askubuntu.com/questions/7034/what-is-the-difference-between-32-bit-and-64-bit-and-which-should-i-choose | 05:18 |
| Dewi | Dr_willis: I will try the gnome 3 one, maybe this host simply can't do decent 3d emulation | 05:18 |
| Dewi | Dr_willis: thanks for checking that | 05:18 |
| bcbc2 | switching: wubi doesn't download 64bit for 32bit pcs. | 05:18 |
| Dr_willis | Dewi, you did check the 3d enable box in the vbox settings? ;) and installed the vbox guest stuff? | 05:18 |
| Mewtini | bcbc2 that's weird, then! | 05:18 |
| switching | mewtini its a pentium 4 524 | 05:18 |
| bcbc2 | switching: what's the make/model? | 05:18 |
| SIFTU | kvothetech: so I guess I was wrong, it's 30%ish less | 05:18 |
| Mewtini | switching huh! no F in its name? | 05:18 |
| Dewi | Dr_willis: yeah it was way worse before I did that, when it was using llvmpipe | 05:19 |
| Dewi | Dr_willis: so it definitely seems to have picked up the 3c | 05:19 |
| Dewi | 3d even | 05:19 |
| bcbc2 | http://ark.intel.com/products/27462/ says 64bit | 05:19 |
| Mewtini | this is saying that the Intel Pentiums that are marked with an F in its name (e.g. Pentium 4 3.0F) are 64bit | 05:19 |
| switching | intel pentium 4 processor 524 | 05:19 |
| switching | 0.0 intel website says 64bit | 05:20 |
| Mewtini | oh | 05:20 |
| Mewtini | well, then this forum thread is misinformed. :| | 05:20 |
| Mewtini | sorry! | 05:20 |
| switching | no problem | 05:20 |
| switching | so any other pluses to 64 bit besides ram that i cannot hold? | 05:21 |
| Mewtini | but yeah either way if wubi's trying to install a 64bit I'd trust it more than I'd trust shaky evidence :x | 05:21 |
| deckard | i have installed xfce but the bottom part of my game is covered with a blue bar | 05:21 |
| SIFTU | switching: you can get a slight performance boost with 64 bit | 05:21 |
| Mewtini | I've heard that it runs faster than 32bit on 64bit. | 05:21 |
| deckard | ty SIFTU , it is nice desktop | 05:22 |
| switching | siftu hooray! | 05:22 |
| Mewtini | 64bit with 64bit's supposed to be faster?? | 05:22 |
| switching | commence torrent of 64bit | 05:22 |
| Mewtini | kvothetech: so 64bit would run okay with my 2GB RAM? | 05:23 |
| switching | mewtini let's hope so | 05:24 |
| SIFTU | Mewtini: yeah it will run, just use more memory | 05:24 |
| Mewtini | hmm | 05:24 |
| Mewtini | I'm just worried because this computer is just. really slow | 05:24 |
| kvothetech | Mewtini: yes and i'll buy you might usea slight amount less but not 30 percent until someone shows me two systems side by side with EXACTLY the same setup hardware etc and only diff 32/64 | 05:24 |
| Mewtini | even on Xubuntu | 05:24 |
| Mewtini | really slow | 05:24 |
| Korekame | performance differences between 64 and 32 bit systems differs on an application by application basis. Somethings are better optimized than others. Also, just because 64-bit can address more resources, doesn't mean you need them. | 05:25 |

| ramon | that could be a corrupted memory? | 05:28 |
| DragonRift | so Ubuntu is detecting my cpu as Core I7 920XM so the lag is not my cpu | 05:28 |
| DragonRift | when I right click on my desktop, it takes 1M 18S for the menu to appear | 05:29 |
| bogor | How do i mount a ubuntu partition in windows over network ? Is installing and configuring samba the only way out. Is there anything like sshfs in windows ? | 05:30 |
| Korekame | DragonRift, I'd reboot, and select the memory checker from the boot menu, rather than the OS, make sure your RAM is in good shape. | 05:30 |
| Kb8wlu | how do i edit the grub dual boot screen to edit what it says their? | 05:30 |
| Korekame | Worst case scenario, you got bugged ram, and need to replace it. Best case, you eliminate it as an issue. | 05:31 |
| Korekame | bogor, you can get nfs utils for Windows, I'm not sure about sshfs | 05:32 |
| bogor | Korekame: is it included in windows or do i get it from internet ? | 05:32 |
| Korekame | bogor, you could try winscp to access a filesystem over ssh ( or use filezilla and set it up for ssh ). But that's not really mounted. | 05:32 |
| clcto | Kb8wlu: /boot/grub/grub.cfg | 05:33 |
| Korekame | bogor, you can get it from MS's website, but it's changed so much since the last time I did it, that I don't know what page it's on anymore. | 05:33 |
| Korekame | I think it's called unix tools or something, I can't remember. | 05:33 |

| bogor | Thanks Korekame | 05:33 |
| Dr_willis | i never was able to find NFS for windows at the ms site. ;) looked ages ago for it | 05:33 |
| Korekame | np | 05:33 |
| clcto | bogor: probably a way with cygwin | 05:33 |
| Korekame | Dr_willis, it's not listed as NFS for windows | 05:34 |
| bogor | clcto: cygwin is not a elegant way i feel | 05:34 |
| Dr_willis | or run a minimal disrto in vbox/qemu/whatever | 05:34 |
| clcto | bogor: neither is windows | 05:34 |
| Korekame | it's unix tools, it comes with ksh for windows, or posix utils, i don't remember. NFS support is just one of the features. | 05:34 |
| Korekame | you can access the filesystem over ssh with filezilla or winscp, it's not mounting, but it might be a plausible solution, or at least something temporary till you find a better way. | 05:35 |
| Korekame | Anyway, NFS support on windows is highly inefficient, so it might not be worth the effort. | 05:35 |

| Korekame | Henry151, could you start by stating the issue? | 05:43 |
| clcto | Henry151: just ask | 05:43 |
| kolaman | hi all, I have installed nagios-nrpe-server (nrpe client on 12.04 ubuntu machine) but that is not working. I start nrpe and it starts successfully. But when I check status it shows not running | 05:45 |
| Henry151 | using unetbootin to load an iso, it completed the "extracting and copying files" step successfully, but then I had a hard-reset (bumped the power cord on the laptop which has a no-good battery). Then, in a complex sequence of events, the iso file was lost, and I want to avoid re-downloading it because it took two days on my slow internet connection. I want to know: is there any way to complete the third step, "installing bo | 05:45 |
| Henry151 | otloader," without the iso file on hand? | 05:45 |
| Dr_willis | Henry151, unetbootin was downloading the iso? | 05:46 |
| Henry151 | no, i downloaded it with bittorrent | 05:46 |
| Mewtini | but don't you still have it? | 05:46 |
| Henry151 | but the laptop i downloaded it to has been dropped off a desk and destroyed | 05:46 |
| === elkingrey is now known as Guest66305 | ||

| Henry151 | weird | 05:47 |
| Henry151 | :) | 05:47 |
| Mewtini | huh | 05:47 |
| Dr_willis | Henry151, look in /lost+found perhaps? | 05:47 |
| Henry151 | so basically, I have everything that was on the ISO, I've even copied it from the USB stick to my harddrive, but the usb stick won't boot because there's no bootloader on it. I need to install a bootloader somehow and copy the files back on | 05:47 |
| switching | installing ubuntu :D 30gb partition | 05:48 |
| switching | my hd is like 120 though so that's a lot | 05:48 |

| Relaxation | Just put a fresh install of 13.04 on my comp. Should I stick with unity? | 05:48 |
| Mewtini | most of my hd is taken up by windows >:( | 05:48 |
| Dr_willis | if a file was rescued from a fsck.. it might be in /lost+found | 05:48 |
| Henry151 | or use somehow fool unetbootin into skipping the "extract and copy files" step and going straight to "install bootloader" | 05:48 |
| Dr_willis | Relaxation, use whatever desktop you want. Install them all. ;) | 05:48 |
| Mewtini | switching mine is ~160GB | 05:48 |
| switching | mewtini i cleaned up about 5 gb of junk beforehand :) | 05:49 |
| Mewtini | Relaxation Unity's really pretty! It is personal preference, though. | 05:49 |
| Relaxation | Indeed, what are some essential things / apps to get after a fresh install? | 05:49 |
| Mewtini | Dr_willis: y'know, fsck seems to have revived my Ubuntu | 05:49 |

| Mewtini | Relaxation: Compiz is good if you want special effects (BE CAREFUL WITH IT) | 05:50 |
| Henry151 | for further information, the "installing bootloader" step was never begun, the hard reset happened between the two steps while unetbootin was actually not doing anything, just sitting idle | 05:50 |

| tnkhanh | hi, I have some question | 05:51 |
| Guest66305 | Hello! I recently switched my distro from Fedora to Ubuntu. I have a hangup though. I'm trying to restore my home folder, but before I can do that I need to be able to access my password, which is currently inside of my Revelation Passowrd Manager file. No problem, I just need to install Revelation first and open up my file. So, I install it Revelation from the package manager. Then I go to open up my file, and it's tellin | 05:51 |
| Guest66305 | g me that the file is of a newer version of Revelation. Okay, looks like I'm going to need to install from source, because the newest version in Ubuntu package manager is outdated. So, I download the source files for the newest version of Revelation, and attempt to install, but it needs some dependencies. Unforunately, I don't know how to install these dependencies. Can somebody help walk me through this process? Here is w | 05:51 |
| Dr_willis | Not much poing in cinnamon ;) gome-3 3.8 has its own gnome-2 look mode... but its still a work in progress | 05:51 |

| Mewtini | tnkhanh: what do you mean, exactly? | 05:51 |
| Mewtini | do you mean, like, reverse wine? | 05:51 |
| tnkhanh | yup | 05:51 |
| Mewtini | hm | 05:51 |
| switching | reverse wine? o.O | 05:52 |
| Mewtini | not that I know of :( | 05:52 |
| tnkhanh | it runs on windows and run programs on linux | 05:52 |
| Henry151 | anybody? this seems like it should be simple but I can't figure it out | 05:52 |
| Mewtini | tnkhanh there're a lot of google results that came up for "run linux apps on windows" | 05:53 |
| Mewtini | tnkhanh most of them are saying to use virtualization. >> | 05:54 |
| Dr_willis | theres used to be a ubuntu-spinoff that installed in windows. and worked with xming to sort of transparently run linux apps on windows. | 05:54 |
| xraixed | Air crack available in Ubuntu 13 | 05:54 |
| Mewtini | or wubi... | 05:54 |
| Relaxation | How do i adjust the screen brightnesss in ubuntu | 05:54 |
| aeon-ltd | ubuntu-portable? | 05:54 |
| Guest66305 | Can somebody help me with this problem? Explained here because it's so long: http://pastebin.com/8b4BUFwL | 05:54 |
| switching | wubi! :) | 05:54 |
| Dr_willis | wubi dosent run at the same time as windows. | 05:54 |
| tnkhanh | wubi is that dual boot right? | 05:55 |
| Dr_willis | wubi is a special kind of dual booting.. yes. | 05:55 |
| aeon-ltd | tnkhanh: yeah, but using the win bootloader | 05:55 |
| switching | yea i was joking cause no one uses it anymore except me | 05:55 |
| aeon-ltd | http://lifehacker.com/5195999/portable-ubuntu-runs-ubuntu-inside-windows this is what i'm talkin bout | 05:55 |
| Relaxation | Well, doesnt wubi run within Windows, or soemthing like that... | 05:55 |
| Henry151 | let me simplify my problem, then maybe somebody can help. Is there any way to make a bootable usb key from files that have already been extracted from their ISO? | 05:55 |
| Mewtini | Dr_willis: special is the gentle way to put it | 05:55 |
| clcto | wubi installs ubuntu in a vm on windows | 05:55 |
| Mewtini | tnkhanh: ! here, look http://lifehacker.com/358208/seamlessly-run-linux-apps-on-your-windows-desktop :o | 05:55 |
| Dr_willis | wubi Installs onto the windows partition.. its not really running in a vm., | 05:55 |
| Mewtini | yeah | 05:56 |
| tnkhanh | woa how cool | 05:56 |
| Ben66 | Henry151: maybe, but why not just use the iso? | 05:56 |
| tnkhanh | tks I will look into it | 05:56 |
| Dr_willis | Henry151, you could install syslinux onto the usb flash.. thats what unetbootin normally uses | 05:56 |
| _thufir_ | tnkhanh: cygwin | 05:56 |
| Dr_willis | Henry151, if all the files are there. | 05:57 |
| Henry151 | Ben66: it's a long story but basically the iso has been lost because the laptop it was on is physically damaged from dropping to the floor, and i have too slow an internet connection to re-download in my timeframe | 05:57 |
| _thufir_ | !cygwin | tnkhanh | 05:57 |
| Henry151 | Dr_willis: thank you so much that sounds like the answer | 05:57 |
| Guest66305 | Can somebody tell me what the ubuntu equivalent of yum provides is? | 05:57 |
| tnkhanh | ok I will try | 05:57 |
| clcto | apt-get | 05:57 |
| Henry151 | going off to google syslinux now :) | 05:57 |
| Relaxation | apt | 05:57 |
| clcto | yeah, apt sry | 05:57 |
| Dr_willis | Henry151, you did look for the iso file in /lost+found ? | 05:57 |
| Henry151 | no, the laptop that fell off the desk won't even start to boot | 05:58 |
| Dr_willis | Doh... | 05:58 |
| Ben66 | grab the drive out of it and hook it up | 05:58 |

| === thufir is now known as _thufir_ | ||
| Henry151 | jarray52: the laptop in question won't even begin to turn on, hitting power button does nothing at all. Plugging it in causes a couple lights to turn green, but not the "power" light that should indicate that it's plugged in normally | 06:00 |
| jarray52 | Henry151: If you're sol, you can pay a recovery company 2k to recover the data for you. | 06:00 |
| Henry151 | I think I can recover the data myself somewhere down the road, likely the hard drive isn't even damaged and if i just pull it out and plug it in to another machine I'll have everything back | 06:01 |
| Henry151 | but for now i'm on an entirely different issue | 06:01 |
| Henry151 | that is, trying to fix this half-done usb boot key for another laptop | 06:02 |
| Ben66 | you're on verizon... you could download the iso pretty quickly | 06:02 |
| Mewtini | Henry151 how did you download it? | 06:02 |

| Dr_willis | jared5552, what file has the s ? | 06:04 |
| Relaxation | Nothing important lol. | 06:04 |

| Ben66 | Dr_willis, jarray52: http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Unix_file_types#Socket | 06:05 |

| Mewtini | Henry151: Woah, what's in it? (sorry :( haven't been paying attention) | 06:05 |
| Henry151 | Mewtini: Debian 7.0 :D | 06:06 |
| Relaxation | Debian's iso is that large? | 06:06 |
| Relaxation | lol | 06:06 |
| Mewtini | ?! Debian's that big? | 06:06 |
| Ben66 | Henry151: then why are you in #ubuntu? | 06:06 |
| Dr_willis | jarray52, why do you need to? its not normally somthing most people need to mess with -- . http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Setuid | 06:06 |
| Mewtini | I thought Linux was usually smaller than Windows o.o | 06:06 |
| Henry151 | I know, I should be asking in #debian, but I can't access #debian because I'm logged in as root because the only laptop I have right now that will turn on is running Backtrack and has only a root user set up | 06:06 |
| aeon-ltd | Mewtini: can be | 06:06 |
| Relaxation | OH btw, what's the command that brings up all your OS / system specs, and includes a OS symbol made of of characters | 06:06 |
| Mewtini | Relaxation do you mean Details? | 06:07 |
| Henry151 | Anybody want to tell me how to install syslinux to the usb drive or should i just go googling? | 06:07 |
| aeon-ltd | Relaxation: that's a script | 06:07 |
| switching | does anyone here own a system76 laptop? | 06:07 |
| Mewtini | System Settings > Details?? | 06:07 |
| Ben66 | Henry151: well its not even an ubuntu issue... | 06:07 |
| Mewtini | Ben66 it's still not "omg debian" entirely!! | 06:07 |
| Relaxation | aeon what's the script called? | 06:07 |
| Henry151 | Ben66: true but it's not really a debian issue either, it's a unetbootin issue and they don't have an IRC channel :) | 06:07 |
| jarray52 | Ben66: Thanks. That was extremely helpful. I'd been barking up the wrong tree for a while. | 06:07 |
| Ben66 | trying to make a debian usb drive from backtrack? | 06:08 |
| Relaxation | Mewtini, no not that! | 06:08 |
| Ben66 | definitely not ubuntu | 06:08 |
| aeon-ltd | Relaxation: like this but for ubuntu http://dl.dropboxusercontent.com/u/261312/archey.png ? | 06:08 |
| Relaxation | Yes! Exactly | 06:08 |
| Relaxation | Havn't used it in quite some time. Forgot how. | 06:08 |
| aeon-ltd | that's ascript you'll need to download | 06:08 |
| Henry151 | plus you ubuntu people are smart so I figured I'd ask here :) | 06:08 |
| Relaxation | What's it called? | 06:08 |
| lasers | Try archey script | 06:09 |
| aeon-ltd | i'm trying to find it now | 06:09 |

| Charcoalcat | switching why do you ask! | 06:13 |
| Charcoalcat | Henry151: Oh what. Huh. | 06:13 |
| jarray52 | Ben66: To allow an apache2 server to communicate with mod_tile. This will allow me to setup a tile server. | 06:13 |

| Relaxation | No because I have windows on my desktop, so if there were any issues I had it covered. Also I'm a computer science major so a linux distro on a portable machine is required of me. | 06:14 |
| switching | relaxation im a computer engineering major :) | 06:14 |

| Relaxation | And I live in an apartment that's off campus | 06:16 |
| Charcoalcat | switching: Well it's supposed to be a "help I've never heard of a computer" class but it ends up being pretty much about learning to use Office. | 06:16 |
| switching | relaxation would you advise taking just linux to college? | 06:16 |
| switching | charcoalcat why did you take it lol | 06:16 |
| switching | relaxation if im going to be in a dorm | 06:17 |
| Charcoalcat | switching also if you're living at college you should be able to go to the computer lab for the occasional incompatible program! | 06:17 |
| jarray52 | Dr_willis: I saw that in my Google searching but couldn't find the mkfio program/package. | 06:17 |
| switching | charcoalcat well many of the labs are all linux :D | 06:17 |
| Charcoalcat | switching: I said before, it's a required class here. It's annoying. | 06:17 |
| switching | charcoalcat oh ya sorry forot | 06:17 |
| Charcoalcat | switching oh neat! That sounds like they don't expect many issues, then! | 06:17 |

| jarray52 | I'll try with mkfifo | 06:19 |
| switching | charcoalcat i'll bet those are online, so i can check :) | 06:19 |

| Dr_willis | see the options for mkfifo. on my system the file is: | 06:19 |

| Dr_willis | the post uses both.. :) | 06:20 |
| Relaxation | Switching, for me file formats and also my school uses a wireless printspot driver that is not compatable with linux, e.g. I must be logged onto windows or MacOS to print. | 06:20 |
| Dr_willis | looks like the first guy did a typo | 06:20 |
| Charcoalcat | Guest66305: Have you tried doing the search through Ubuntu Software Center or Synaptic Package Manager instead? You should be able to see the list more easily in those! | 06:20 |
| Relaxation | Also what's this mkfifo | 06:20 |
| Guest66305 | I haven't found anything for pygtk | 06:20 |
| switching | relaxation ouch! i guess i should ask someone at the school | 06:20 |

| elyaze | is this chating room?? | 06:39 |
| elyaze | #join | 06:40 |
| elyaze | what ? | 06:40 |
| ravindu | Anyone can help me on this matter? | 06:40 |
| ravindu | http://goo.gl/wkJd8 | 06:40 |
| elyaze | why no one talking | 06:41 |
| ravindu | its irritating to go through this mess | 06:41 |
| elyaze | any sexy girls? | 06:42 |
| ravindu | help may be greatly appreciated | 06:42 |
| elyaze | ok i will try to help u | 06:42 |
| ravindu | thank you | 06:43 |
| Dewi | ravindu: you probably need to check logs and make sure the appropriate defaults are set. Also, don't run alphas | 06:43 |
| ravindu | now its upgraded to the default version | 06:43 |
| elyaze | i have no idea | 06:43 |
| ravindu | going through terminal give access | 06:44 |
| bhavesh | My resolution is set to 800x600 when I launch GTA SA through wine, I want it to get back to normal when I exit GTA SA. How can I do that? | 06:44 |
| ravindu | after startx and typing unity in terminal | 06:44 |
| loganlee | !crossover | bhavesh | 06:45 |
| ravindu | anyway to fix this | 06:45 |
| Dewi | ravindu: is the display manager (ie lightdm) starting on boot? | 06:46 |
| ravindu | no | 06:46 |
| ravindu | only boot into terminal | 06:46 |
| bhavesh | loganlee, its better than wine? | 06:47 |
| loganlee | bhavesh, it's supposed to be for window games on linux | 06:47 |
| bhavesh | loganlee, well my game runs perfectly well with wine | 06:47 |
| bhavesh | I just want to auto change the screen resolution when my wine session ends | 06:48 |
| Dr_willis | you could setup a script and xrandr to do that bhavesh | 06:48 |
| ravindu | log through terminal and type strartx then got to desktop and with no unity | 06:49 |
| ravindu | then get terminal again and type unity | 06:50 |
| ravindu | then all working | 06:50 |
| bhavesh | Dr_willis, ill try. I'll have to find a way to execute my script automatically after the wine session ends | 06:50 |
| Dr_willis | bhavesh, make the script start the game, then do the command after the game exits | 06:51 |
| bhavesh | Dr_willis, Nice idea :) | 06:51 |
| loganlee | bhavesh, write a bash script | 06:51 |
| bhavesh | loganlee, yea | 06:51 |
| ravindu | any idea friends? reinstalling daunting | 06:52 |
| Dr_willis | ravindu, install gdm see if gdm works | 06:52 |
| ravindu | have to remove lightdm first? | 06:53 |
| Dr_willis | no you do not | 06:55 |
| Dr_willis | sudo apt-get install gdm | 06:55 |
| ravindu | all worked fine after beta to stable version upgrade all started | 06:55 |
| DragonRift | whats the best desktop Env for a lightweight installation? | 06:56 |
| Dr_willis | lightest 'full desktop' would be Lubuntu | 06:57 |
| ravindu | installed gdm | 06:58 |
| ravindu | and then? | 06:58 |
| DragonRift | will that reduce UI delays in a VM? | 06:59 |
| Dr_willis | lubuntu works well for me in vbox.. | 06:59 |
| Dewi | DragonRift: xfce (xubuntu) | 06:59 |
| deckard | hi again. I uninstalled a program but the link still remains in the menu , how can i remove it? | 06:59 |
| Dr_willis | unity works well for me in vbox on windows. | 06:59 |
| Dr_willis | deckard, what program? | 06:59 |
| Dewi | DragonRift: lubuntu is probably good too | 06:59 |
| deckard | Firestorm Viewer | 06:59 |
| _PehdeN_ | how do you clear the update cache | 06:59 |
| DragonRift | I have a bad UI delay in VBox | 06:59 |
| deckard | i right clikced the menu to edit it but i dont see it listed in there, but it is showing | 07:00 |
| Dr_willis | deckard, that one you installed manually in your users home? most likely theres some .desktop file for it in one ofyour config dirs | 07:00 |
| ravindu | I'l restart and check whether it works Thanks Dr-Wills | 07:00 |
| deckard | i will check | 07:00 |
| deckard | when i clikc it it just says it doesnt exist | 07:00 |
| deckard | it is not there | 07:00 |
| _PehdeN_ | nvm | 07:01 |
| deckard | strange thing is it doesnt show in the edit menu thing, where you can see and tick or untick the ones you want to show | 07:01 |
| deckard | "applications menu" | 07:01 |
| Dr_willis | thers a .config/applications/ dir that has custome .desktop files | 07:01 |
| deckard | 7 shown under "internet" but there are 8 | 07:02 |

| DragonRift | is there an app manager where I can see whats avaialble? | 07:12 |
| Dr_willis | DragonRift, software-center, or synaptic, or the cli tools | 07:12 |
| DragonRift | well a software center as I am not experienced | 07:13 |
| Dr_willis | ubuntu has 'software center' by default. synaptic is the older package manager gui | 07:13 |
| Henry151 | question | 07:14 |
| DragonRift | well I need to install developer tools for Programming & COmpiling | 07:14 |
| Henry151 | does dd'ing an iso to a usb automatically make the usb bootable? | 07:15 |
| Dr_willis | DragonRift, you will want the build-essential package and other -dev packages then | 07:15 |
| Dr_willis | Henry151, yes. | 07:15 |
| DragonRift | ok so what command would I type? | 07:15 |
| Dr_willis | Henry151, assuming you dd it to /dev/sdX not /dev/sdx1 by mistake ;) | 07:15 |
| DragonRift | as I said | 07:15 |
| DragonRift | I am not experienced lol | 07:15 |
| Dr_willis | sudo apt-get install packagename | 07:15 |
| Henry151 | yep, /dev/sdc | 07:15 |

| Henry151 | but it won't boot | 07:16 |
| Henry151 | what i did was i made an iso from the files that were on the usb | 07:16 |
| Henry151 | then i dd'd that to the usb | 07:16 |
| Dr_willis | Henry151, err.. that wont work.. | 07:16 |
| Henry151 | why not | 07:16 |
| Dr_willis | the iso has a bootrecord. | 07:16 |
| Dr_willis | your files dont... | 07:16 |
| Henry151 | hmm | 07:16 |
| Henry151 | can i add one? | 07:16 |
| Dr_willis | i imagine you could.. but it may take you some time to figure it out | 07:17 |
| Henry151 | and while i'm at it i want to add the broadcom-sta drivers i need for my wifi card so i can have internet during the install :) | 07:17 |
| Dr_willis | wonder if you could get the ubuntu mini iso.. and make a bootable usb with it.. then copy over the stuff.. | 07:18 |
| Henry151 | *goes off googling "adding a bootrecord to an iso" | 07:18 |
| Dr_willis | you would use 'isolinux' i belive to boot the cd. | 07:18 |
| Henry151 | shoot i'll just go google "making a custom debian iso" and learn everything i can | 07:19 |
| Dr_willis | and have the actual ubuntu iso downloading as you read.. ;) and see what gets done first. | 07:20 |
| Dr_willis | the lubuntu iso is smaller. ;) | 07:20 |
| Dr_willis | you can make a ext3 filesystem on the usb. put the files on it.. then figure out the syslinux configs to make it bootable also | 07:22 |
| Dr_willis | actually that might be using 'extlinux' then.. they are variants/tools in the syslinux package | 07:23 |
| DragonRift | whats a good linux dev environment for programming | 07:23 |

| Henry151 | Dr_willis: I don't understand something here. If I download an ISO, extract it, then make it back into an ISO, the new iso and the old should be identical, yes? | 07:25 |
| clcto | Henry151: no | 07:25 |
| Dr_willis | Henry151, no.. because theres a boot record on the iso that you dident get when you extacted the files | 07:26 |
| Henry151 | ok | 07:26 |
| DragonRift | is codeblocks a good environemnt? | 07:27 |
| Dr_willis | try it out and decide if it works for you | 07:27 |
| Solstick | hello x) | 07:27 |
| Dr_willis | some would argue emacs is the ultimate ide. ;P | 07:27 |
| Vraaghetmaar | Hello Solstick | 07:28 |
| DragonRift | I need an environemnt that I can be familiar with on Windows and Linux | 07:28 |
| DragonRift | I will be doing Cross Platform Development | 07:28 |
| clcto | DragonRift: eclipse? | 07:28 |
| Dr_willis | in what language DragonRift ? | 07:28 |
| DragonRift | GNU C/C++ | 07:29 |
| clcto | DragonRift: MS doesnt have gnu c/c++ | 07:29 |
| DragonRift | MS has MingW | 07:29 |
| DragonRift | closest thing MS gets to GU afaik | 07:30 |
| DragonRift | GNU | 07:30 |
| * Dr_willis dosent develop. ;P | 07:30 | |
| clcto | eclipse is cross platform and pretty similiar to Visual Studio i believe | 07:31 |
| loganlee | eclipse seems good although i havent actually used it | 07:31 |
| loganlee | u can addon for c++ devel | 07:31 |
| Dr_willis | from the # of people i see in here fighting with eclipse.. it seems it can be fragile at times. | 07:32 |
| Tyrope | Good morning, my school workstation boots into grub rescue with "error file not found" Google has many suggestions with live CDs, which I don't have access to atm.. any ideas? | 07:33 |
| loganlee | is netbeans ide any good? | 07:34 |
| Tyrope | (its a dual boot Win7 Ubuntu12.04) | 07:34 |
| loganlee | Tyrope, wat happened to ubuntu? | 07:34 |
| Tyrope | Logan: it shut down just fine yesterday. | 07:35 |
| Tyrope | This morning it just grubs. | 07:35 |
| clcto | loganlee: isnt netbeans only java | 07:36 |
| loganlee | maybe fiddle around with boot priority in bios | 07:36 |
| Jordan_U | Tyrope: Do you have more than one hard drive? | 07:36 |
| loganlee | clcto, yeh but i havent used it before so i dont know its good or not | 07:36 |
| Tyrope | no. Partitioned | 07:37 |
| DragonRift | I think I am gonna use CoeBlocks and see how things go from there | 07:37 |
| DragonRift | CodeBlocks | 07:37 |
| Tyrope | Ls shows me fd0, hd0, and hd0,msdos[1,2,3,5,6] | 07:38 |
| Jordan_U | Tyrope: Do you have a spare USB drive you can make a liveUSB out of? Did you do anything that you can think of between when it last booted correctly and now? | 07:38 |
| Henry151 | i still don't understand... there is a folder in my iso called "isolinux" full of stuff | 07:38 |
| Dr_willis | wowsers.. using Handbreak to reencode my cartoons took them from 300mb per half hr.. to 80mb :0 | 07:38 |
| clcto | loganlee: idk me either, i just use vim | 07:38 |
| OrangeTux | vim is awesome ;) | 07:38 |
| BossDaDDy | I got a question | 07:39 |
| clcto | BossDaDDy: just ask | 07:39 |
| BossDaDDy | are you guys nerds | 07:39 |
| Tyrope | Jordan: I don't, no. There's no other computer here I can use to download, I'm using my phone for IRC. I only did some vim and git. | 07:39 |
| railsraider | hi, im trying to create an upstart with instance but the $ID does not pass to the env | 07:39 |
| Jordan_U | !ot | BossDaDDy | 07:39 |

| Vraaghetmaar | Hahahahaha BossDaDDy why do you think? | 07:39 |
| railsraider | env PIDFILE="/var/www/shared/tmp/pids/resque_worker_0_instance_$ID.pid" | 07:40 |
| railsraider | it creates the file like the string | 07:40 |
| Tyrope | I didn't do anything that would influence booting... | 07:40 |
| oye | i. Yesterday I got Kubuntu installed in my laptop, thanks to Wubi. Everything went fine, the system is running smooth and sweet and nice. Now, my problem is that I can't boot back into Windows. I mean, everything goes fine, Grub loads, I select to boot Windows, and afterwards, nothing happens. It just gets stuck into a black screen. Any clues? | 07:40 |
| Dr_willis | I Thought wubi used the windows boot-loader selector thing.. not grub.. | 07:41 |
| Dr_willis | or it uses grub after you see the windows boot selector | 07:41 |

| Dr_willis | ravindu, hmm? theres no need to dcc chat people... | 07:42 |
| ravindu | oh no idea about that | 07:42 |
| ravindu | sorry | 07:42 |
| Tyrope | (hd0,msdos3)/boot/grub | 07:43 |
| ravindu | new to irc chat | 07:43 |
| ravindu | by the way after gdm installation it worked but ugly login screen and touch pad not working | 07:43 |
| oye | Dr_willis: Now that you say it, yes, I guess you're right. So it's actually an issue of the windows boot-loader? | 07:43 |
| Jordan_U | Tyrope: OK. Does "ls $prefix" list files or give an error message? | 07:43 |
| ravindu | why lightdm is not working? | 07:43 |
| Dr_willis | oye, i would think so.. but i dont use wubi | 07:43 |
| Tyrope | Empty line, error: file not found | 07:44 |
| oye | Dr_willis: Ah, don't worry :-) I just thought maybe someone faced the same issue in the past and had any hints. | 07:44 |
| Dr_willis | oye, thats the issue you see with wubi.. it breaks.. no one knows how to fix it | 07:44 |
| ravindu | any idea? Dr_willis | 07:44 |
| Tyrope | Thanks for helping btw, Jordan | 07:45 |
| Dr_willis | ravindu, whats 'ugly' about the login screen? and does the desktop actually work then? | 07:45 |
| Jordan_U | oye: You should see the Windows bootloader menu before you see the grub menu. Can you post a screenshot (with a camera) of the first menu you see at boot? Can you also run boot info script and pastebin the RESULTS.txt that it produces? | 07:45 |
| Jordan_U | !bootinfo | oye | 07:45 |
| ubottu | oye: Boot info script is a usefull script for diagnosing boot problems. Run the script following the directions here: http://ubuntuforums.org/showthread.php?t=1291280 and then look at RESULTS.txt (or !pastebin it for others to look at). | 07:45 |
| ravindu | it worked i like lightdm lot that's why | 07:45 |
| Dr_willis | ravindu, huh? so gdm worked properly? | 07:46 |
| ravindu | yes | 07:46 |
| Jordan_U | Tyrope: What about "ls (hd0,msdos3)/" ? | 07:46 |
| Tyrope | Empty | 07:46 |
| Dr_willis | ravindu, so clarify to the channel what the original issue is with lightdm. | 07:46 |
| Tyrope | Shall I ls the other partitions? | 07:47 |
| Jordan_U | Tyrope: Yes. | 07:47 |
| oye | Jordan_U: Oh, thank you very much! But I am not in panic. From Kubuntu I will be able to save the data I need, and then proceed to a complete linux installation, erasing everything on the way. Including Windows. :-) | 07:47 |
| kolbe | is there some rasonable way to tell grub (or something else i suppose) to start without any networking support? so that i don't have to wait for network configuration using existing udev rules to timeout after i have cloned a virtualbox image | 07:48 |
| oye | I will take my time and do some googling, and it it doesn't work, then just screw it. HAH! | 07:48 |
| jmurrib21 | hello | 07:48 |
| Vraaghetmaar | jmurrib21: Hello | 07:48 |
| ronalds | oye, preinstalled windows on laptop, orginal? no reason to remove windows, if you can dual boot when you need it most | 07:48 |
| ravindu | as I explained earlier this is original issue http://goo.gl/wkJd8 | 07:48 |
| Jordan_U | oye: You're welcome. Moving away from Wubi is definitely what you should do (I would have recommended it even if you weren't having any problems). | 07:48 |
| Tyrope | Jordan: msdos6 is my shared windows/linux storage, all other hd are 'unknown filesystem', fd0 gives fd0 read error | 07:49 |
| ravindu | then as you asked I install gdm I was able to log in | 07:49 |
| jmurrib21 | happy that i finally could install ubuntu 13.04 in a new desktop pc with UEFI | 07:49 |
| oye | ronalds: I do want to move away from Windows. That's the plan. Wubi was just a short-time solution before taking the definitive step. | 07:49 |
| Tyrope | (6 has no boot options) | 07:49 |
| Vraaghetmaar | jmurrib21: Thats great! | 07:49 |
| loganlee | just installed eclipse cdt | 07:50 |
| loganlee | now c++ support | 07:50 |
| jmurrib21 | now, somehow the swap partition get deleted or something like that | 07:50 |
| FreeBSD64 | jmurrib21: you can make one if theres not one there | 07:50 |
| oye | Jordan_U: I see. I will take your advice in consideration, very much. | 07:50 |
| jmurrib21 | will do with gparted | 07:51 |
| Vraaghetmaar | jmurrib21: Try an partition manager | 07:51 |
| jmurrib21 | will the swap partition help ubuntu to run faster | 07:52 |
| FreeBSD64 | no | 07:52 |
| teltariat | hello. A current package that I need is a version behind the actual source. Is there a place where I can download a beta version package that is in sync with the bleeding edge version? | 07:52 |
| ravindu | any help on that matter? | 07:52 |
| oye | jmurrib21: The swap partition will "help" Ubuntu.. run. | 07:52 |
| FreeBSD64 | if you have enough ram disable swap | 07:52 |
| oye | Or, as FreeBSD64 just said. | 07:52 |
| ronalds | thats admirable oye, but you can easily dual boot, and use both, just like knowing more than one language is bonuse.. | 07:52 |
| jmurrib21 | i just have 4 gb ram | 07:52 |
| FreeBSD64 | jmurrib21: it depends what you're running. 4gb with no swap should be fine | 07:53 |
| jmurrib21 | i see | 07:53 |
| Dr_willis | 'just 4gb of ram' ;) | 07:53 |
| FreeBSD64 | if you're never going to get near the max ram usage swap will only make things less responsive | 07:53 |
| oye | ronalds: I've had to Windows for almost two years, I am just so sick of it, I don't really feel like. :-) | 07:53 |
| jmurrib21 | it takes a while to boot | 07:53 |
| oye | I am not "new", just out of date. :-P | 07:53 |
| Dr_willis | if your not using all your ram.. then swap shouldend really be getting touched. | 07:54 |
| FreeBSD64 | jmurrib21: it wont affect boot speed, that will probably be your hard drive mostly | 07:54 |
| ravindu | :( | 07:54 |
| jmurrib21 | i see | 07:54 |
| FreeBSD64 | Dr_willis: it still swaps depending on swappiness | 07:54 |
| FreeBSD64 | when it gets to a certain threshold | 07:54 |
| Jordan_U | jmurrib21: FreeBSD64: Having swap alone will almost never make anything slower, but can allow things to run faster (by allowing more RAM to be used for cache), and is certainly good for avoiding an OOM (Out Of Memory) situation. If you think that swap is slowing things down for some reason (why?) you can always set swappiness to 0 and swap will only be used in emergencies to prevent OOM killing. | 07:54 |
| Dr_willis | cant say ive really noticed. ;) but i got 'just' gb of ram.. | 07:54 |
| newbuntu | PFSense any good for a firewall? help :P | 07:54 |
| Dr_willis | !firewall | newbuntu | 07:54 |
| ubottu | newbuntu: 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. | 07:54 |
| Dr_willis | actually im not even sure if i got a swap on this box.. it might have gotten removed when i switched to sdd | 07:55 |
| ravindu | why is that gdm worked while lightdm not | 07:55 |
| FreeBSD64 | you can set the swappiness to a tighter level so it doesnt swap early | 07:55 |
| Tyrope | Jordan_U: not to seem impatient, but did you see my message? | 07:56 |
| FreeBSD64 | then you get the best of both worlds | 07:56 |
| Dewi | ravindu: probably just had broken configs and installing gdm got you a fresh one | 07:56 |
| teltariat | Can someone help me understand the packaging process for Ubuntu? Like a place where I can see and use packages not yet in the production repos? | 07:56 |

| Jordan_U | Tyrope: No I didn't (if you don't use my full nick the message won't be higlighted in my client). I can't see any way to fix this without other boot media, unless possibly there is a BIOS setting which is wrong (LBA disabled or similar) which might fix things. | 07:57 |
| ravindu | so anyone know to fix those configs | 07:57 |
| Tyrope | Bios hasn't changed... I guess I'm going to ask if i can fetch my CD from home | 07:58 |
| Dr_willis | purge lightdm - that will remove all the old configs.. | 07:58 |
| Dr_willis | but it might not be a config issue. | 07:58 |
| === ben__ is now known as benbru | ||
| ravindu | yes I did that too | 07:58 |
| Tyrope | Thanks for your time, Jordan_U | 07:58 |
| ravindu | it didnt worked | 07:59 |
| Jordan_U | Tyrope: You're welcome. | 07:59 |
| Dr_willis | sounds like its some deeper issue then with lightdm, | 07:59 |
| teltariat | Dr_willis: thanks | 07:59 |
| ravindu | http://goo.gl/wkJd8 | 07:59 |
| ravindu | this the thread I started if you like see in detail | 07:59 |
| Dewi | ravindu: you could try uninstalling lightdrm with config purge | 08:00 |
| Dewi | lightdm even | 08:00 |
| Dr_willis | not really a lot of detail at that url ravindu ... | 08:00 |
| Dr_willis | you can do 'sudo lightdm' at the console and start lightdm and see any error messages.. | 08:00 |
| Dr_willis | but im still not clear on what lightdm is or is not doing.. you are saying its just not starting? | 08:00 |
| Dewi | Dr_willis: what's the current way to manage which services start? | 08:01 |
| Dr_willis | Dewi, for upstart managed services you mess with the files in /etc/init/ | 08:01 |
| Dewi | Dr_willis: how can you tell which ones run on boot, I mean | 08:02 |
| clcto | Dr_willis: "mess with" :) | 08:02 |
| Dr_willis | Dewi, you disable the ones you dont via /etc/init | 08:02 |
| Dr_willis | or the sysv stuff for older services. (which are actually still handled by upstart) | 08:02 |
| newbuntu | hey guys, ive setup a LAMP server using ubuntu. i want to start hosting but am unsure of firewall to use. i have a small business Cisco Router and a PFSense box which is better for security? | 08:03 |
| Ben66 | newbuntu: you shouldn't need a firewall | 08:03 |
| Dewi | Dr_willis: I can never remember which runlevel I am in, let alone figure out all the symlinks | 08:04 |
| FreeBSD64 | newbuntu: ufw comes with ubuntu and is easy | 08:04 |
| Dewi | Dr_willis: surely there is a tool... | 08:04 |
| FreeBSD64 | newbuntu: if you're behind a router you can get away without one | 08:04 |
| Dr_willis | Dewi, with upstart - ubuntu is moveing away from runlevels. | 08:06 |
| Dr_willis | Dewi, so i have rarely needed to mess with the sysv stuff in ages | 08:07 |
| Dewi | Dr_willis: lots of stuff still seems to use sysv | 08:07 |
| Dewi | Dr_willis: if there are several approaches all fighting with eachother it seems even more important to have a tool that is aware of all of them... | 08:07 |
| Dr_willis | Dewi, if you look.. its upstart manageing those ;) | 08:07 |
| ravindu | <Dr_willis> when I sudo lightdm it worked no errors | 08:07 |
| Dr_willis | ravindu, stop lightdm and try 'sudo service lightdm start' | 08:08 |
| Dr_willis | wonder when they will move away from Upstart to that other init system.. i forget its name.. I think archlinux is using it now | 08:08 |
| FreeBSD64 | systemd | 08:09 |
| FreeBSD64 | ? | 08:09 |
| clcto | FreeBSD64: yes, thats what arch uses | 08:09 |
| Dr_willis | that sounds about right.. | 08:09 |
| Dr_willis | from the little ive looked at it.. its rather.. weird. ;P | 08:09 |
| FreeBSD64 | i tried it on gentoo for a bit | 08:09 |
| FreeBSD64 | its better on supported distros... | 08:10 |
| FreeBSD64 | fast though | 08:10 |
| ravindu | logi | 08:10 |
| b00b00 | hello | 08:11 |
| Dr_willis | Jello | 08:12 |
| ahla | hi there | 08:13 |
| b00b00 | how i replce a word in a file based on first char only of that word (word length is changable) in a text file? b4 that word, line is permanent in values/length | 08:13 |
| FreeBSD64 | sed | 08:13 |
| Dr_willis | b00b00, use of sed or awk - would be tools for that job | 08:14 |
| b00b00 | yeah, thanks | 08:14 |
| ravindu | <Dr_willis> when I run both command from desktop it gives black screen but with bot terminal it show login screen | 08:15 |
| === GeertJoh1n is now known as GeertJohan | ||
| FreeBSD64 | cat /etc/make.conf | 08:16 |
| Dr_willis | ravindu, what are you running 'from desktop' ? you should be starting lightdm from the CONSOLE, with out X going.. | 08:17 |
| ravindu | yes I did that | 08:17 |
| ravindu | it worked no errors | 08:17 |
| Dr_willis | so i dont get what you are saying... | 08:17 |
| Dr_willis | it is 4 am here... ;P | 08:17 |
| Mrokii | Hello. What GUI utility can I use to make nautilus windows being reduced to the title-bar when double-clicked? | 08:18 |
| ravindu | sorry | 08:18 |
| loganlee | Mrokii, wat | 08:18 |
| Dr_willis | Mrokii, compiz Might have a setting to for that.. but i cant recall seeing it. thats a sort of an old skool feature. ;) | 08:18 |
| Mrokii | Dr_willis: I've had it in 12.10 and I love it. | 08:18 |
| Dr_willis | double click on title bar sort of 'scrolls/minimizes the window into the title bbar' | 08:19 |
| ravindu | problem is lightdm not startin at boot up only boot into terminal | 08:19 |
| Mrokii | Dr_willis: Exactly. | 08:19 |
| Dr_willis | Mrokii, i dont really see the point in it these days. ;) | 08:19 |
| Mrokii | I do. | 08:19 |
| ravindu | yes compiz have that setting | 08:19 |
| Dr_willis | i rarely ever minimize things... | 08:20 |
| Mrokii | Well, I do. | 08:20 |
| Mrokii | ravindu: Okay, I'll look. Ty. | 08:20 |
| clcto | Mrokii: just use a tiling wm like notion :) | 08:20 |
| loganlee | ravindu, /etc/inittab | 08:20 |
| Mrokii | I don't really like my windows manager mess around with my windows. | 08:21 |
| Mrokii | But that's not the point. | 08:21 |
| ravindu | <loganlee> no such file or directory | 08:21 |
| clcto | Mrokii: yeah i know, i just like converting people. and notion it is manual tiling so the wm doesnt mess with them | 08:22 |
| NarcTix | Mrokii I don t think upstart uses rc these days? | 08:22 |
| NarcTix | * initV | 08:23 |
| llutz | !runlevel | 08:23 |
| ubottu | In Ubuntu all runlevels except 0,1 and 6 are by default equal. Also keep in mind that Ubuntu now uses !Upstart instead of System V init so there is normally no /etc/inittab. | 08:23 |
| ravindu | anyway to troubleshoot why lightdm is not working at start up | 08:23 |
| NarcTix | ^^ | 08:24 |
| NarcTix | see what ubottu said | 08:24 |
| Ben66 | ravindu: how did you install | 08:24 |
| loganlee | ravindu, maybe ur default run level | 08:24 |
| Multiply | I need to keep a program running, that'll exit frequently. I previously used supervisord, and it works great. I want to be able to bind processes to a specific CPU-core, and I find myself quite limited. Any ideas? | 08:24 |
| llutz | loganlee: see what ubottu just said about runlevels | 08:24 |
| ravindu | install what? | 08:25 |
| NarcTix | sorry all above went to wrong user :) | 08:25 |
| Ben66 | ravindu: ...ubuntu | 08:25 |
| NarcTix | loganlee see what ubottu responded before upstart doesent use inittab | 08:26 |
| ravindu | i used ubuntu alpha then to beta upgraded to normal version | 08:26 |
| ravindu | after final upgrade all went wrong | 08:27 |
| Ben66 | ravindu: so it used to boot into gui? | 08:27 |
| ravindu | yes | 08:27 |
| Ben66 | i would just reinstall if i were you | 08:28 |
| Dr_willis | ravindu, if you do a 'sudo dpkg-reconfigure lightdm' does it show lightdm selected as the dfault? | 08:28 |
| Mrokii | Does anybody know where indicator-multiload saves its preferences? | 08:28 |
| NarcTix | ravindu , has and what has been updated before it broke? | 08:28 |
| NarcTix | anything been? | 08:29 |
| NarcTix | should have had * | 08:29 |
| Dr_willis | if 'sudo service lightdm restart' works.. You could just cheat and start it from rc.local ;P | 08:30 |

| NarcTix | :) | 08:31 |
| NarcTix | * | 08:31 |
| Hans_Henrik | !notunity | 08:31 |
| ubottu | Ubuntu 11.10 and higher use the !Unity desktop environment by default. To use GNOME Shell instead, install the "gnome-shell" package and investigate "gnome-tweak-tool". For GNOME Fallback mode, which is similar to GNOME 2, install "gnome-panel". Both packages will place entries in the Sessions dropdown. | 08:31 |
| Dr_willis | Hans_Henrik, X.04 is the lts versions.... | 08:31 |
| Ben66 | Hans_Henrik: still 12.04 | 08:32 |
| Hans_Henrik | thanks | 08:32 |
| Dr_willis | 12.04 :) then 14.04 | 08:32 |

| Dr_willis | NarcTix id just use gdm.. :) it looks much nicer then lightdm.. and has better feature set. | 08:33 |
| Dr_willis | ravindu_, 'sudo dpkg-reconfigure lightdm' like i mentioned earlier... | 08:33 |
| Dr_willis | ravindu_, selects what *dm to use by default | 08:33 |
| ravindu_ | lightdm | 08:35 |
| kvothetech | WeThePeople: uhm looks like a dependancy you need is missing or something | 08:35 |
| kvothetech | WeThePeople: dpkg-configure libcdt4 | 08:36 |
| kvothetech | it says that's the one that failed because it's not configured | 08:36 |
| NarcTix | Dr_Willis yeah lightdm +1 What I use on my Gentoo install.; I use gdm or kdm if its Gnome or Kde | 08:36 |
| NarcTix | Dr_Willis I use xfce on Gentoo | 08:37 |
| kvothetech | NarcTix: :) glad to see i'm not the only gentoo user here | 08:37 |
| Dr_willis | lightdm is just a little awkward in many ways.. and i had issues with it not showing up all the desktop sessions when i had a lot of them installed | 08:37 |
| laptopgobooboo | hi, i have my friend's laptop and the keyboard works in the start and the resposnse in a funny way; like the CTRL(control) button was pressed hard | 08:38 |
| ravindu_ | what is best? dm? | 08:38 |
| laptopgobooboo | can anyone help | 08:38 |
| kvothetech | ravindu_: depends what you prefer | 08:38 |
| Dr_willis | ravindu_, i use gdm normally. | 08:39 |
| ravindu_ | its ugly on my system | 08:39 |
| kvothetech | laptopgobooboo: keyboard layout? | 08:39 |
| laptopgobooboo | english us | 08:39 |
| Dr_willis | easier to select what desktop session to use. and looks nicer to me.. no idea what you mean by uglyu | 08:39 |
| NarcTix | kvothetech Will always love Gentoo. Ive done LFS (Linux from scratch) and Gentoo lets you jump so many steps ahead , i.e dont need to build the build enviroment. Im actually building my own distro at the momment on Gentoo. | 08:39 |
| kvothetech | yeah I did lfs then just went to gentoo... | 08:40 |
| kvothetech | same thing in the end or DAMN close to it... | 08:40 |

| kvothetech | laptopgobooboo: keyboard layout and locales ? | 08:42 |
| Ben66 | i'm wondering how often people see that screen or grub to want to make it look fancy | 08:42 |
| Ben66 | i restart like once or twice a month | 08:42 |
| llutz_ | they spend far more time in customizing those, than they'll ever watch it | 08:43 |
| Dr_willis | my systm boots so fast.. i rarely even notice grub or lightdm | 08:43 |
| kvothetech | laptopgobooboo: all programs? just X just vtty? | 08:43 |
| mzaza_ | While trying tot delete a folder on flash storage I get these error, http://pastebin.com/fpFnm7CN | 08:43 |

| Dr_willis | !screenshot | 08:45 |
| kvothetech | Mrokii: sound modules loaded? alsa? pulse? sound card? muted? | 08:45 |

| NarcTix | Ive never had any probs with either [k:g]dm they have always been good for me just use lightdm when using a different desktop i.e xfce | 08:45 |
| shape | Dr_willis: it was the tar file they didnt come with a configure. I also had older versions of autoconf. so I got the tar files from the original websites. | 08:46 |
| clcto_ | SLiM is nice and simple | 08:46 |

| Mrokii | kvothetech: The sound isn't muted I think. It shows "on" in the Sound-setting. And I don't know what 13.04 installs as standard. I didn't change any settings regarding sounds yet. And how can I check if sound modules are loaded? | 08:46 |

| laptopgobooboo | kvothetech, its hard to understan what you said, keyboard is okay in the start after sometime it messes up | 08:53 |
| savagecroc | FreeBSD64: shove stuff in autoboot etc | 08:53 |
| Dr_willis | kre10s, sounds like a WUBI install to me... | 08:53 |
| Dr_willis | kre10s, boot to ubuntu and look at the disk partions, see if theres a /host/ mountpoint also.. | 08:53 |
| laptopgobooboo | kvothetech, what is "X" | 08:53 |
| kvothetech | kre10s: grub-install /dev/sda or something like that | 08:53 |
| Dr_willis | or in windows look on the c: drive to see if theres a wubi direcvtory | 08:54 |
| laptopgobooboo | kvothetech, and "(V)tty" | 08:54 |
| kvothetech | laptopgobooboo: X is the gui tty is the console | 08:54 |
| FreeBSD64 | laptopgobooboo: X is the desktop basically | 08:54 |
| Dr_willis | kre10s, if it IS a wubi install.. you may want to switch over to a normal ubuntu install and dump wubi | 08:54 |

| FreeBSD64 | NarcTix: it was just for info on what is used | 09:00 |

| laptopgobooboo | kvothetech, thanks anyhow | 09:00 |
| savagecroc | in regards to kvm, i've heard that you have to setup a master OS and then have slave-os's under that.. would you have a very simple base-ubuntu-os and then setup a slave ubuntu os as the development environment | 09:00 |
| Mrokii | NarcTix: Sound has been working before when I had installed 12.10. But I wanted to start with a fresh installation and later copy back my config files. | 09:00 |
| savagecroc | or is there too much overhead in running the vm (i.e. everything runs slower) | 09:01 |
| FreeBSD64 | savagecroc: kvm you just make the disks, similar to virtualbox but without a gui | 09:01 |
| kvothetech | savagecroc: yes you need a host os and a guest for ANY vm method kvm's pretty easy to use though | 09:01 |
| vjustme | ok :) well I suppose it's a fairly simple question but I am confused.. | 09:01 |
| FreeBSD64 | savagecroc: vms should run pretty much the same as a proper install except the graphics | 09:01 |
| savagecroc | FreeBSD64: excellent, i'd like to script it anyway.. so no gui is probably good | 09:01 |
| kvothetech | FreeBSD64: there's a gui for it but i wouldn't use it | 09:01 |
| FreeBSD64 | savagecroc: virtualbox has VBoxManage | 09:01 |
| FreeBSD64 | which can do more than the gui | 09:02 |
| FreeBSD64 | and can be scripted | 09:02 |
| savagecroc | FreeBSD64: right.. so that probably means it's unsuitable for a development environment, but for running ubuntu server VMs it's probably ok | 09:02 |
| NarcTix | mrokkii sounds like it might be kernel modules . How many kernel updates did you hop? | 09:02 |
| Dewi | savagecroc: virtualbox is pretty good at both | 09:02 |
| savagecroc | FreeBSD64: would you run windows under as dual boot (purely work machine, but may run the adobe creative suite)... or as a VM? | 09:03 |
| FreeBSD64 | savagecroc: if you use virtualbox with guest additions installed on the guest the graphics works pretty smoothly | 09:03 |
| savagecroc | Dwi: is there much of a performance hit? | 09:03 |
| FreeBSD64 | savagecroc: if you need proper graphics acceleration then dual boot | 09:03 |
| Dewi | savagecroc: yeah, depends what you're doing though | 09:03 |
| savagecroc | these 5 machines all have 32gb of ram | 09:03 |
| savagecroc | ah nothing graphically that intensive | 09:04 |
| FreeBSD64 | use the vm then | 09:04 |
| savagecroc | mostly just software development and office tools | 09:04 |
| kvothetech | savagecroc: then kvm should be fine... | 09:04 |
| FreeBSD64 | yeah vm will be fine for that | 09:04 |
| Dewi | savagecroc: CPU is great, I/O is okay, 2D works okay, 3D acceleration works but is not good like real hardware | 09:04 |
| FreeBSD64 | for windows i would use virtualbox | 09:04 |
| savagecroc | can luks be used to format a NTFS drive? | 09:04 |
| FreeBSD64 | over kvm | 09:04 |
| savagecroc | FreeBSD64: virtual box it is :) | 09:04 |
| Dewi | savagecroc: sure but windows probably won't decrypt luks | 09:05 |
| Dewi | savagecroc: you probably want truecrypt for windows | 09:05 |
| === arjun is now known as Guest83144 | ||
| jpds | Dewi: I think it can. | 09:05 |
| kvothetech | savagecroc: no reason it won't let you use luks | 09:05 |
| jpds | Dewi: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/FreeOTFE | 09:05 |
| Dewi | jpds: ah cool, had not seen that one. | 09:05 |
| savagecroc | ah right.. i want full disk encryption though | 09:06 |
| savagecroc | for "boxes" i think i'd just truecrypt | 09:06 |
| kvothetech | savagecroc: truecrypt does full disk.... | 09:06 |
| Dewi | savagecroc: truecrypt has full system in windows | 09:06 |
| Dewi | savagecroc: not sure how nicely it plays with dual boot | 09:06 |
| FreeBSD64 | savagecroc: truecrypt can do full disk after an install on the fly | 09:06 |
| Dewi | savagecroc: probably fine | 09:06 |
| FreeBSD64 | Dewi: dual booting with truecrypt takes a bit of messing about | 09:07 |
| savagecroc | hmmm | 09:07 |
| FreeBSD64 | with full disk | 09:07 |
| savagecroc | maybe i'd be better off | 09:07 |
| savagecroc | skipping dual booting alltogether | 09:07 |
| Dewi | savagecroc: what's the primary env for the actual users? | 09:07 |
| savagecroc | and just using luis to encrypt ubuntu.. and run VMs | 09:07 |
| savagecroc | Dewi: 95% ubuntu | 09:07 |
| FreeBSD64 | it would be simpler | 09:07 |
| savagecroc | lol.. i'm making a lot of notes.. | 09:08 |
| savagecroc | ok for document versioning (office documents)... just use git? | 09:08 |
| kvothetech | savagecroc: that's one method | 09:09 |
| FreeBSD64 | savagecroc: just bear in mind git is public | 09:09 |
| Dewi | FreeBSD64: only if you make it public | 09:09 |
| NarcTix | what hd encryption does Ubuntu use if you select it on the instal? | 09:09 |
| kvothetech | FreeBSD64: ? you can make a private git | 09:09 |
| FreeBSD64 | Dewi: you have to pay otherwise | 09:09 |
| Dewi | FreeBSD64: git != github | 09:09 |
| savagecroc | oh i don't want to use github | 09:09 |
| kvothetech | NarcTix: luks i'd assume..it's more or less the standard | 09:09 |
| FreeBSD64 | ah ok :) | 09:09 |
| === xcourier_ is now known as xcourier | ||
| savagecroc | basically we have 2 users that have to share and collaborate on 1000's of office documents, then the other 3 need a subset of those document | 09:10 |
| Dewi | savagecroc: office formats aren't readily diff/patchable as far as I've seen | 09:10 |
| savagecroc | they have a well defined folder heirachy which defines what directory should have what files | 09:10 |
| savagecroc | Dewi: that's ok.. as long as we can get at older versions | 09:11 |
| Dewi | savagecroc: yeah, just saying that if multiple people are editing at the same time the version control won't help you merge like it would with code | 09:11 |
| savagecroc | so i suppose the things to consider would be things like manually rsyncing between computers | 09:11 |
| greek | Hi. I have successfully created a public key for server1 (ubuntu server edition) and uploaded it to server2's authorized_keys (also ubuntu server edition) using ssh-copy-id however when i try scp from server 1 to server 2 i still get password prompt - any idea what's wrong? I repeated this exact process from my ubuntu desktop to server1 and that works just fine (although the first time i logged in from my desktop i got a window popup prompt, but never again) | 09:11 |
| Dewi | savagecroc: and in such a situation you want track changes or google docs or something | 09:11 |
| savagecroc | Dewi: yeah, we were thinking more one person edits at a time | 09:11 |
| === lancien_ is now known as Lancien | ||
| savagecroc | Dewi: we can't use google docs unfortunately, that's where all our documents currently exist | 09:12 |
| kvothetech | ouch | 09:12 |
| Dewi | savagecroc: dropbox is nice in that it's immediate so people don't tend to edit from outdated base versions | 09:12 |
| NarcTix | greek sounds like you havent enabled keys in sshd.conf | 09:12 |
| Dewi | savagecroc: you'll have to watch out for that on anything that isn't so immediate | 09:12 |
| savagecroc | Dewi: i need a solution that doesn't require going onto the internet :D | 09:12 |
| savagecroc | it's very unreliable | 09:12 |
| greek | NarcTix, ok thanks is that something simple to explain or should i rather google it? | 09:12 |
| Dewi | savagecroc: unreliable? | 09:13 |
| kvothetech | greek do you have rsaauth enabled in your sshd_config or dsaauth | 09:13 |
| llutz | greek: use "ssh -vvv user@server2" to get more verbose logs. check the output for reasons why the keys aren't working | 09:13 |
| savagecroc | Dewi: yeah.. cental china.. enough said | 09:13 |
| NarcTix | !ssh keys | 09:13 |
| vjustme | logrotate in Ubuntu is configured by default to run in a daily basis, as configured in /etc/cron.daily/logrotate .My question is: I want to configure logrotate so that it will checks Apache’s log files every 1h and if exceed a specified size it would rotate them. Normally I would specify it in cron. Will it affect logrotate’s default configurations if I do so? I mean there is an entry in | 09:13 |
| vjustme | /etc/logrotate/apache2 . If I remove this file, how will it affect logrotate? | 09:13 |
| Dewi | savagecroc: you can probably set up something pretty good with either rsync or git, the trick is getting it close to immediate so people don't edit old versions, but without syncs smashing into whatever people are doing | 09:14 |
| kvothetech | vjustme: ? you can edit the defaults or remove logging entirely.... | 09:14 |
| Muelli | vjustme: it will not rotate apache logs | 09:14 |
| savagecroc | Dewi: yeah :/ | 09:15 |
| Dewi | savagecroc: how close are these people? network drive? | 09:15 |
| savagecroc | Dewi: all in the same office | 09:15 |
| vjustme | what are the default's logrotate configuration about? does it rotate just those defined in /etc/logrotate/ or does it affect every log file? | 09:15 |
| savagecroc | Dewi: yeah could use a network drive... | 09:15 |
| Dewi | savagecroc: probably a windows (cifs/smb) file share or nfs would be easiest then | 09:15 |
| greek | NarcTix, I checked /etc/ssh/sshd_config and keys look to be enabled | 09:16 |
| savagecroc | Dewi: are there any network drives that support the standard ACL extensions? | 09:16 |
| kvothetech | greek: add -vv to the ssh cmd to see what the error is then..did you chmod 600 your key file? | 09:16 |
| NarcTix | greek can you pastebin your sshd_config | 09:16 |
| greek | kvothetech, yeah I'm busy doing as llutz said, the output is quite long busy working through it | 09:17 |
| Dewi | savagecroc: not sure, I'd definitely bet on nfs more than samba for that, but nfs always scares me away with its ancient insecure defaults | 09:17 |
| savagecroc | yeah | 09:17 |
| kvothetech | k | 09:17 |
| Tyrope | I have returned, now with liveusb. How would one go about reinstalling grub (the one with the UI) where the only program with internet access is firefox? | 09:18 |
| kvothetech | savagecroc: nfs does..as does ext3/4.... | 09:19 |
| savagecroc | kvothetech: oh very nice | 09:19 |
| savagecroc | ok | 09:19 |
| Hadogenes | Greetings | 09:19 |
| savagecroc | so i could setup a nfs share with full ACL extensions | 09:19 |
| vjustme | kvothetech: I don't want to make changes that will affect the logging process for the rest of the services, just for Apache btw | 09:19 |
| NarcTix | Depends how you want to install grub and from what enviroment? but the basic is to install to the mbr and then it redirects to the boot sector on the hd | 09:20 |
| savagecroc | i.e. setfacel --modify group:blabla:rwx,default:group:blabla:rex something | 09:20 |
| kvothetech | Tyrope: the only program with internet being firefox you still need more than grub you need probably at least iptables and selinux | 09:20 |
| greek | NarcTix, heya here is the paste: http://pastie.org/7906278 | 09:20 |
| kvothetech | and the rest of the minimal base userland...and the ff dep's | 09:21 |
| kvothetech | NarcTix: you can get ff to run from grub? | 09:21 |
| greek | NarcTix, it's identical to the sshd_config on server1, which I can ssh in to from my desktop without prompt just fine. However when I try ssh from server1 to server2 (both server edition ubuntu) i get password prompt. | 09:22 |
| Tyrope | Kvothetech: school proxy, don't know how to send apt through the http-only proxy, system is tight here | 09:22 |
| nevyn | Tyrope: apt will happily use http. | 09:22 |
| nevyn | Tyrope: does the proxy need authentication? | 09:22 |
| NarcTix | greek you need to uncomment RSAAuthentication yes | 09:22 |
| NarcTix | PubkeyAuthentication yes | 09:23 |
| NarcTix | #AuthorizedKeysFile %h/.ssh/authorized_keys | 09:23 |
| greek | NarcTix, i have a feeling my desktop is configuring something when it asks me for the password prompt in a popup window the first time i ssh (it only does that once after i configure the public key for server 1) | 09:23 |
| kvothetech | Tyrope: apt uses http... | 09:23 |
| kvothetech | NarcTix: hmm thought he said he uncommented rsaauth | 09:23 |
| Tyrope | Nevyn: nope, just needs to go through local ip proxy.zadkine.net | 09:23 |
| nevyn | Tyrope: did you read the manual? | 09:23 |
| kvothetech | Tyrope: i think i misunderstood i thought you wanted to install grub nd make a system that only lets ff use the internet | 09:24 |
| Tyrope | No, sorry. I have the system it just broke so I need to reinstall gnu grub | 09:24 |
| dawkirst | Hi all, what would be the easiest way to expose a web server on the web without forwarding port 80 to the machine in the router? | 09:25 |
| Tyrope | Nevyn: yes, system settings have http proxy but it doesn't use the proxies dns | 09:25 |
| greek | NarcTix, I just tried that and it didn't work (I restarted ssh). I still get password prompt | 09:25 |
| greek | fwiw, that line is commented out on server1 (which i can ssh into from my desktop without password prompt just fine) | 09:26 |
| kvothetech | grub-install <partition> is how i do it but i use grub1 not 2 | 09:26 |
| evstevemd | my nautilus bookmark are gone (not shown) any reason? All I changed it I upgraded to Kernel 3.9 | 09:26 |
| Tyrope | Yeah, I don't know grub commands | 09:26 |
| kvothetech | greek did you pastebin the -vv results | 09:26 |
| savagecroc | i'm just reading the setup page with LUKS.. am i getting this right... 1. I need a bootable USB ubuntu image so i can wipe the SDD 2. setup the partitions etc ? | 09:26 |
| nevyn | Tyrope: so you can't dns resolve localy? | 09:26 |
| Hadogenes | dawkirst What do you want to achieve? There might be alternate ways | 09:26 |
| Tyrope | Nevyn: they'll all resolve to a dead internal ip | 09:26 |
| Tyrope | So no | 09:27 |
| Hadogenes | dawkirst You could change the port if you don't intend to make it 'public' | 09:27 |
| kvothetech | savagecroc: you need a bootable usb or something to partition anyway..unless you're just modifying existing ones | 09:27 |
| nevyn | Tyrope: ok that's a little special. | 09:27 |
| nevyn | umm.. | 09:27 |
| Tyrope | Nevyn: the network admin here is an idiot | 09:27 |
| NarcTix | geek For this to work you will also need host keys in /etc/ssh_known_hosts | 09:28 |
| NarcTix | RhostsRSAAuthentication no | 09:28 |
| NarcTix | greek For this to work you will also need host keys in /etc/ssh_known_hosts | 09:28 |
| NarcTix | RhostsRSAAuthentication no | 09:28 |
| Tyrope | FF connects fine if I tell it to detect network proxy settings | 09:28 |
| Dewi | dawkirst: to expose it you'll need to open some kind of port. It doesn't have to be 80, although that will affect your urls | 09:28 |
| NarcTix | sorry for typo lol | 09:28 |
| dawkirst | Hadogenes, I don't really mind it being public, but we don't really have access to the router. So I was thinking along the lines of a VPN or something. | 09:29 |
| kvothetech | NarcTix: he has that or should if he got a pw prompt it's aleardy in the hosts file...rhosts rsaauth i'd set to yes though | 09:29 |
| Hadogenes | dawkirst You need a port redirected to your server if you want to access it. No other way. | 09:29 |
| nevyn | oh. system-settings == some gui thing? | 09:30 |
| nevyn | apt probably doesn't honour that. | 09:30 |
| greek | NarcTix, not sure how to interpret your last comment with typo | 09:30 |
| Hadogenes | dawkirst Define "don't really have access", maybe there is a way around it | 09:30 |
| greek | kvothetech, nope i didn't one sec i will now | 09:31 |
| dawkirst | Hadogenes, I see your point. No access: no login. | 09:31 |
| Tyrope | Nevyn: apt doesn't listen to ubuntu's network settings? | 09:31 |
| nevyn | not the ones for your user... | 09:31 |
| nevyn | maybe. | 09:31 |
| Ben66 | dawkirst: you shouldn't be running a server on a network you don't control | 09:31 |
| nevyn | but package manager should | 09:31 |
| Hadogenes | Ben66 Didn't cross my mind, could be a virus. | 09:32 |
| Hadogenes | Still, sounds like an interesting challenge. | 09:32 |
| Tyrope | I found a website that tells me to add ppa:yannubuntu/boot-repair | 09:32 |
| greek | kvothetech, NarcTix, here is the paste of ssh -vv: http://pastie.org/7906309 | 09:32 |
| dawkirst | Ben66, sometimes you have to do with what you've got. | 09:33 |
| Tyrope | But that gives a couldn't connect to host | 09:33 |
| kvothetech | Ben66: uhm running a server on a network you don't control is what everyone who has a server in a datacenter does... | 09:33 |
| Ben66 | Tyrope: won't work if apt can't resolve | 09:33 |
| Tyrope | Ben: exactly | 09:33 |
| Ben66 | kvothetech: you know what i mean | 09:33 |
| Tyrope | Any way to download it through Firefox? | 09:33 |
| mariola | i did try to update(Not to a new version just normal updates) and now "the packet system is damaged" | 09:33 |
| Ben66 | dawkirst: servers are cheap | 09:33 |
| greek | NarcTix, kvothetech, fwiw the key I generated is called sshkey-apollo | 09:33 |
| Hadogenes | Anyways, have you tried accessing the router? Maybe the default password is set | 09:33 |
| Ben66 | Tyrope: can't you use real internet? | 09:34 |
| nevyn | kvothetech: nuh-uh. | 09:34 |
| llutz | greek: ssh -i keyfilename user@host | 09:34 |
| mariola | i tried to install a Driver for an multi function printer,scanner and it makes problems, what can i do to delete it? | 09:34 |
| nevyn | not if it's your leased floorspace. | 09:34 |
| Tyrope | If the exact proxy settings were known, yes... Did I mention the network admin here is an idiot? | 09:34 |
| llutz | greek: same for scp, "scp -i keyfilename file host:" | 09:34 |
| Ben66 | Tyrope: but if firefox works, there must be an accessible dns server | 09:35 |
| nevyn | Tyrope: try to make wget work. | 09:35 |
| Tyrope | Ben: yup, the proxy is the dns. | 09:35 |
| nevyn | then work from there. | 09:35 |
| Ben66 | Tyrope: whats the ip of said proxy? | 09:36 |
| llutz | greek: add host/user/keyfilename to ~/.ssh/config if you don't like to type that everytime you need it (man ssh for details) | 09:36 |
| nevyn | Ben66: it's legitmate to prevent resolution internally and have the proxy do it. | 09:36 |
| gustav_ | Can I make exim4 an IMAP server? | 09:36 |
| llutz | gustav_: no | 09:36 |
| dawkirst | Hadogenes, Ben66, it's not that we can't get access if we really wanted to, but we're guests here, and we don't want to start messing around with our hosts' network settings. | 09:36 |
| llutz | gustav_: exim4 is smtp, use dovecot for imap | 09:37 |
| gustav_ | llutz: Access mail recieved by exim4 via IMAP? | 09:37 |
| Ben66 | dawkirst: but you're cool hosting stuff without their knowledge? | 09:37 |
| kvothetech | Tyrope: so in /etc/resolv.conf set the proxy ip as your dns server... | 09:37 |
| gustav_ | Ok. | 09:37 |
| dawkirst | Ben66, it's an internal file / dev server. | 09:38 |
| Hadogenes | dawkirst There is no way anything can connect to your computer without having a port redirecting from the router to it. | 09:38 |
| dawkirst | Hadogenes, thanks. | 09:38 |
| prodigel | Hi all, Since this morning I'm having connectivity issues in linux (ubuntu 12.10), while in windows (using it now sadly) it works without any problem. The device is a realtek gigabit RTL8188 (I think), problems persisted even in recovery mode. I've installed also the latest drivers from Realtek, no change. Any ideas how can I debug this? Thanks | 09:38 |
| Tyrope | Change nameserver? | 09:38 |
| Hadogenes | forwarded* | 09:38 |
| gustav_ | llutz: It says Dovecot is MDA, isn't that sendmail? | 09:38 |
| dawkirst | Hadogenes, just thought there was maybe an alternative. | 09:39 |
| Hadogenes | dawkirst What are you trying to achieve? | 09:39 |
| llutz | gustav_: sendmail is a mta, not mda (mail delivery agent vs transport agent) | 09:39 |
| Hadogenes | dawkirst Maybe you don't need a web serber | 09:39 |
| gustav_ | llutz: Oh, sorry. | 09:39 |
| kvothetech | prodigel: what're you using to set your network up etc what's it doing can you get in network or just localhost | 09:39 |
| prodigel | Correction there, the device is a Realtek RTL8168/8111 | 09:39 |
| prodigel | kvothetech: it's using dhcp, but the most basic ping test fails | 09:40 |
| Guest18850 | Hello all:) I have a lvm that I want to have mounted on boot. In the /etc/fstab file, what would I use for the 'type' column? I have not formatted the lvm. Do I have to format the lvm if I want to place it in fstab? | 09:40 |
| dawkirst | Hadogenes, that might be the best. | 09:40 |
| kvothetech | prodigel: ok ip addr and ip route and cat /etc/resolv.conf any hints | 09:40 |
| prodigel | kvothetech: i.e. pinging the gateway which is in the LAN fails also | 09:40 |
| vjustme | Let me redefine my initial question: Does log rotation by utilizing logrotate applies to every log file created, or just those listed under /etc/logrodate.d/ directory? | 09:40 |
| llutz | Guest18850: sure, lvm is a partition-format but you mount filesystems. so you have to create a filesystem on the partition you want to mount | 09:41 |
| kvothetech | Guest18850: you need a physical volume then a volume group then a logical volume you format the logical volume then add that to /etc/fstab it'll be something like /dev/mapper/blahvg-blah | 09:41 |
| greek | llutz, when using -i, must i specify sshkey or sshkey.pub ? | 09:41 |
| llutz | greek: sshkey | 09:41 |
| kvothetech | greek: the private | 09:41 |
| greek | llutz, ok so once i've copied the pub to my remote host i can delete it | 09:42 |
| llutz | greek: .pub is what you should have copied to the remote host before | 09:42 |
| greek | i won't need it for other remote hosts | 09:42 |
| greek | ok | 09:42 |
| llutz | greek: you could, but better to keep a backup. who knows... | 09:42 |
| NarcTix | does anyone have an ssh for noobs! | 09:43 |

| Guest18850 | thanks llutz and kvothetech.. I had done the physical volume, volume group and logical volume part, wasn't sure if I had to format it as well. Thanks.. | 09:44 |
| greek | llakey, ok so i try this: ssh -i sshkey-apollo root@192.168.0.111 but then i still get Enter passphrase for key 'sshkey-apollo': | 09:44 |
| NarcTix | Ive written bash, python, perl, pascal. Scripts or programs to work with ssh lol | 09:45 |
| greek | sorry llakey that was meant for llutz | 09:45 |
| llakey | :) | 09:45 |
| llutz | greek: 1st. allowing ssh-access for root is a bad idea. 2nd. what was the exact ssh-copy-id command you issued? | 09:46 |
| NarcTix | I dont need telling how to use it :) | 09:46 |
| greek | llutz, ssh-copy-id -i sshkey-apollo.pub root@192.168.0.111 | 09:46 |
| greek | llutz, yeah i know root is bad it's just for testing / learning on my lan | 09:46 |
| NarcTix | When Im sober that is ^^ | 09:47 |
| kvothetech | NarcTix: lol :) | 09:47 |
| llutz | greek: and root account is activated on server2 and "PermitRootLogin yes" set in sshd_config? | 09:48 |
| Muelli | greek: well. it asks you to unlock your ssh key. That is because a) you created a key and protected it with a passphrase and b) because you have no ssh-agent running. You can either create a key w/o a passphrase or run an ssh-agent (gnome-keyring does that I think) | 09:49 |
| NarcTix | allowing root wont fix it lmfao | 09:49 |
| greek | Muelli, oh ok so when I use ssh-keygen I musn't type in the server2's password | 09:49 |
| greek | woah talk about a face-palm moment | 09:50 |
| jony_easyrider | int the workgroup my Ubuntu 12.04 desktop PC is not visible, why? | 09:50 |
| Muelli | greek: the key does not have anything to do with a password on the server. So: No. That passphrase is purely meant to protect the key on its own. | 09:50 |
| kvothetech | ? | 09:51 |
| kvothetech | jony_easyrider: ? | 09:51 |

| NarcTix | maybe 1 sec | 09:53 |
| llutz | NarcTix: if you read his paste from then, you see you are wrong | 09:53 |
| Muelli | Sbeach92: your CFLAGS are too strict for that code (i.e. the code is too poor quality ;-) ). You can try to "export CFLAGS=-O2" before doing the make. | 09:54 |

| ActionParsnip | ubuntuaddicted: I believe you will need banshee / rhythmnbox | 11:45 |
| Ben64 | much easier to stay away from apple | 11:45 |
| ActionParsnip | ubuntuaddicted: there is ifuse but I'm not sure how the data gets stored. Android has a much easier time :) | 11:45 |
| Aaruni | is there any way to access iPad data, iTunes style in Ubuntu 12.04 ? not just songs and music, ebooks, comics, etc.. | 11:45 |
| SonikkuAmerica | !mactel | Ben64, not always | 11:45 |

| ubottu | Ben64, or rather: For help on installing and using Ubuntu on a mac, see: https://wiki.ubuntu.com/MactelSupportTeam/CommunityHelpPages | 11:46 |
| Prock81 | ubuntuaddicted pwntunes will allow u to put mp3's directly on ios device | 11:46 |
| alpharender | is there anyway to download launchpad pad app locally? | 11:46 |
| cfhowlett | Aaruni, kind of. nautilus shows all apps on my ipad ... | 11:46 |
| ActionParsnip | Aaruni: banshee can put data on devices, there are ebook apps too | 11:46 |
| Prock81 | no itunes | 11:46 |
| SonikkuAmerica | Ben64: True... and not to mention Ubuntu Touch can get ground that way... I wonder if that'll replace Ubuntu for Android | 11:46 |
| Aaruni | ActionParsnip: thanks. | 11:46 |
| SonikkuAmerica | Prock81: There's DoubleTwist though | 11:46 |
| ubuntuaddicted | cfhowlett, previous to iOS 6 you could drag and drop music with libimobiledevice | 11:46 |
| ActionParsnip | Aaruni: ive seen videos on youtube of folks using itunes but for the real deal you will need a virtual windows install | 11:47 |
| cfhowlett | ubuntuaddicted, and the iOS update broke that, as usual? | 11:47 |
| Ben64 | SonikkuAmerica: with how phones are so locked down, i don't think touch will take off | 11:47 |
| Aaruni | I was hoping to avoid that (its for a technically unsound friend of mine), ActionParsnip | 11:47 |
| alpharender | life is short, don't bother hacking apple | 11:47 |
| cfhowlett | alpharender, exactly | 11:47 |
| ubuntuaddicted | cfhowlett, yes | 11:47 |
| SonikkuAmerica | Ben64: It'll eventually have to in some form or another, at least with Unity Next coming in 13.10 | 11:48 |
| alpharender | i have some apple stuff and I just use it (submit to their will) | 11:48 |
| alpharender | :) | 11:48 |
| Ben64 | SonikkuAmerica: unless its a homescreen replacement app, i don't see manufacturers picking it up | 11:48 |
| ubuntuaddicted | Prock81, pwntunes states Windows 7 or above, Windows Vista or Windows XP with Fix (included) | 11:48 |
| SonikkuAmerica | Ben64: OEMs don't have to pick up anything for an OS to be popular - look at any given Linux distro | 11:49 |
| SonikkuAmerica | Ben64: Particularly Ubuntu (being the 3rd most popular desktop OS in the world) | 11:49 |
| === Berazu is now known as Guest92543 | ||
| SonikkuAmerica | Ben64: (Even though that's because all 6 of us use it) | 11:50 |
| ubuntuaddicted | cfhowlett, you could even rearrange your iOS device springboard icons with http://www.libimobiledevice.org/ | 11:50 |
| Prock81 | ubuntuaddicted u need windows to set it up, but after when u plug it into any linux you will see the music folder, like the normal avrage cheap mp3 player | 11:51 |
| Ben64 | SonikkuAmerica: most phones you can't boot unauthorized code, so if its a new os to replace android, it would need to be approved and installed by OEM | 11:51 |
| SonikkuAmerica | Ben64: So? Root the darn thing! | 11:51 |
| Ben64 | root != install new os | 11:51 |
| D49L | Do you guys know a good pdfreader for linux where i can set comments? | 11:52 |
| ubuntuaddicted | Prock81, really? wonder how that works? | 11:52 |
| ActionParsnip | Ben64: yeah that confused me too | 11:52 |
| SonikkuAmerica | ubuntuaddicted: Bah, I had an iPad 3, and it was just easier to reset the icon layout every time I installed a new app so I could see all of them in alphabetical order | 11:52 |
| cfhowlett | SonikkuAmerica, had my nexus 4 a week. Found out how to root on day 2. VERY easy | 11:52 |
| ActionParsnip | D49L: acroread from Adobe if you want | 11:52 |
| prem | is there any freeipa server version available for ubuntu | 11:52 |
| SonikkuAmerica | Ben64: While true, root is the only way you get to install a new OS | 11:52 |
| Prock81 | actually u probly dont need windows, i just set it up in windows and it works on linux | 11:52 |
| Ben64 | SonikkuAmerica: not really, usually need to reflash the phone | 11:53 |
| * Aaruni is away: AFK | 11:53 | |
| Prock81 | only cause i was using window at that time | 11:53 |
| Myrtti | Aaruni: please turn that off | 11:53 |
| prem | or is there any other equivalent packages to setup a AD DC in ubuntu | 11:53 |
| SonikkuAmerica | Ben64: By flashing CWM or TeamWin via fastboot - still requires root | 11:53 |
| ActionParsnip | prem: https://launchpad.net/ubuntu/+ppas?name_filter=freeipa | 11:53 |
| ActionParsnip | prem: lots of PPAs.....did you search these at all? | 11:53 |
| Ben64 | SonikkuAmerica: those are just modded stock images, not a completely new os :) | 11:54 |
| === ip is now known as Guest68233 | ||
| prem | ActionParsnip, as far as i have seen client support for freeipa is only given | 11:54 |

| SonikkuAmerica | Ben64: Really? You can get Debian and Ubuntu ARM images... those aren't modded stock images at all. | 11:55 |
| Ben64 | SonikkuAmerica: try to get them running on a phone, i guarantee a brick | 11:55 |
| ActionParsnip | prem: even in those PPAs? | 11:56 |
| prem | is there any way to install and run freeipa server in ubuntu | 11:56 |
| SonikkuAmerica | Ben64: I had a friend who got Ubuntu 12.04 LTS running on his Motorola Droid RAZR HD. Never say never. | 11:56 |
| prem | yes ActionParsnip | 11:56 |
| ActionParsnip | prem: you could use alien and convert rpm to deb but it may go weird | 11:56 |
| Ben64 | SonikkuAmerica: webtop doesn't count | 11:57 |
| cfhowlett | SonikkuAmerica, desktop? or ARM version? all moot once touch releases | 11:57 |
| chenhuming | :) | 11:57 |
| prem | ActionParsnip, true, i cannot build the source in ubuntu., then in that case "alien" conversion will break the system | 11:57 |
| SonikkuAmerica | cfhowlett: True enough... with the convergence coming. | 11:57 |
| SonikkuAmerica | Ben64: Webtop? LOL | 11:58 |
| SonikkuAmerica | Ben64: He did it with SuperOneClick and a 12.04 .img file. | 11:58 |
| ubuntuaddicted | you would think since my iPhone is rooted (jailbroken) that putting music on it would be possible | 11:58 |
| Ben64 | ubuntuaddicted: can you transfer over the network? | 12:00 |
| ActionParsnip | prem: it 'may' break the system, you could always make a virtual system and test | 12:00 |
| ubuntuaddicted | Ben64, not sure. what would I google? lol | 12:01 |
| ActionParsnip | prem: or contact the guys and ask if they plan to support Ubuntu / deb based distros | 12:01 |
| Prock81 | can i paste 3 lines and ask if this is a error that is ok to ignore, i was tring to enable hibernate, and a verygood question is why wasnt it enable by default | 12:01 |
| prem | ActionParsnip, they have replied that officially they dont support deb distros | 12:02 |
| ubuntuaddicted | Prock81, probably should use pastebin | 12:02 |

| cfhowlett | Mere2, good question! and best had in #ubuntu-offtopic for full and rousing debates | 12:27 |
| Mere2 | thanx | 12:28 |
| gustav_ | yofun: You need to install a threads package. | 12:28 |
| SonikkuAmerica | gustav_: Sounds like a PulseAudio problem. | 12:28 |

| gustav_ | yofun: Not sure. | 12:28 |
| mi6x3m | ubuntuaddicted: what could be the reason? | 12:28 |
| gustav_ | yofun: Check deps for that package. You are trying to cmake. | 12:29 |
| yofun | nope -_- | 12:29 |

| SonikkuAmerica | gustav_: And how do you know that mpg321 isn't using ALSA? | 12:30 |
| gustav_ | SonikkuAmerica: Firefox is using ALSA. | 12:30 |
| ubuntuaddicted | felon, you could use cat /proc/meminfo and cat /proc/cpuinfo | 12:30 |
| SonikkuAmerica | gustav_: How come? PulseAudio comes stock with Ubuntu... did you remove it for some reason | 12:30 |
| SonikkuAmerica | ? | 12:30 |
| yofun | FIND_PACKAGE(Threads REQUIRED) | 12:31 |
| yofun | hmm | 12:31 |
| gustav_ | SonikkuAmerica: Nope. mpg321 doesn't go through PA it seems. Firefox does but uses ALSA plugin or something. Looking at pavucontrol here. | 12:31 |

| nevyn | UukGoblin: if they were.. do you think you'd find out by asking here? | 13:08 |
| felon | how do i add a repository line in terminal | 13:08 |
| UukGoblin | nevyn, yes? no? why not? | 13:08 |
| nevyn | UukGoblin: so you think that a public disclosure process can be usurped by irc? | 13:09 |
| sudobash | has anyone ever setup ubuntu as a network virus scanner to scan all PC's on a domain plus network shares | 13:09 |
| sudobash | with clamav and samba | 13:10 |
| UukGoblin | nevyn, sure, IRC is generally faster than following public processes | 13:10 |
| * nevyn thinks of irc as public | 13:10 | |
| UukGoblin | I've tried to run the sploit on ubuntu 12.04 but it got Killed (didn't get root). There was a kernel stacktrace printed in syslog, however. | 13:11 |
| nevyn | at least general purpose channels like this | 13:11 |
| nevyn | #debian-private maybe | 13:11 |
| ActionParsnip | nevyn: you can have passwords and things on channels | 13:11 |
| ActionParsnip | nevyn: you can also restrict to identified users and so forth | 13:11 |
| nevyn | sure. and it's appropriate to discuss CVE's etc in such channels in my view | 13:12 |
| UukGoblin | nevyn, I don't understand. What's the problem about it being public? | 13:13 |
| UukGoblin | it was posted on oss-security mailing list so it's pretty much public already... I'm just wondering whether it's CentOS-only or not | 13:13 |

| UukGoblin | Pici, cool thanks | 13:17 |
| patrick__v_ | how about run it in cron with a random wait and use an http proxy to cache the stuff? | 13:17 |
| realgpp | BananaBob: use cron | 13:17 |
| netlar | Is it true that Canonical gathers information from our searches for places like Amazon? | 13:18 |
| ActionParsnip | netlar: no there is no collection | 13:18 |
| Rootert | BananaBob, or consider apticron, it will send you email notifications when updates are available too | 13:18 |
| BananaBob | cron-apt or just add an simple entry in crontab or cron.hourly or something like that? I was thinking of that, but is that really best practice? | 13:18 |

| BananaBob | Inst there a fancyer way :) | 13:18 |

| ActionParsnip | starpollo: does it happen in other web browser? | 13:56 |
| mink | Hi. In the same version ubuntu, I could switch workspaces by scroll wheel (in hover at workspaces thumbnails). Now (after reinstall) I can't. | 13:57 |
| mink | Anyone know how enable this functionality? | 13:57 |
| starpollo | ActionParsnip: no Chrome seems fine in youtube, haven't tried any others to be honest | 13:58 |

| shegman | hi. i searched the web to get digital 5.1 ound in ubuntu 12.04. i even tried this https://help.ubuntu.com/community/DigitalAC-3Pulseaudio#PulseAudio_Setup but it still doesnt work. can anyone help me please? | 13:58 |
| ActionParsnip | starpollo: does it happen as a new Ubuntu user in Firefox? | 13:58 |
| SuperLag | starpollo: what happens if you open firefox with the -ProfileManager option... (from the command line) and create a new profile... and do it from there? | 13:58 |
| SuperLag | starpollo: ActionParsnip seems to be suggesting the same idea though... | 13:59 |
| starpollo | SuperLag: opened firefox with the -ProfileManager flag, same thing happened upon browsing to a youtube video, I can also confirm it has happened consistently since I installed | 14:01 |
| satmandu | I'm on Ubuntu 13.04, and I'm looking for an alternative to virtualbox-fuse, which has apparently been removed. Any ideas? I need to mount a vdi file. | 14:01 |
| SuperLag | starpollo: was this a clean install of 13.04, or an upgrade to it? | 14:01 |
| starpollo | SuperLag: clean install | 14:01 |

| SuperLag | starpollo: very interesting... as I'm in the same situation, and I don't see this issue. | 14:02 |
| SuperLag | starpollo: I wonder if it might be a codec thing | 14:02 |
| starpollo | SuperLag: yeah it is interesting, I guess I can hope for a fix in the next version of firefox.. any suggestions for something to try if it's related to codecs? | 14:03 |
| SuperLag | starpollo: ou know that step in the installer, where it asks you if you want to install the 3rd-party codecs and stuff like that? Did you have that enabled? | 14:04 |
| OrangeTux | ActionParsnip: Ok, you win ;) | 14:04 |
| starpollo | SuperLag: yeah I had enabled that | 14:04 |
| SuperLag | starpollo: I'm stumped, then. :/ | 14:05 |
| SuperLag | ActionParsnip: any ideas for starpollo? | 14:05 |
| ActionParsnip | starpollo: did you try the new account | 14:07 |
| ActionParsnip | SuperLag: use Chrome :) | 14:07 |
| starpollo | ActionParsnip: I tried the -ProfileManager flag, no change :S | 14:07 |
| SuperLag | starpollo: I know it's probably not the answer you're looking for... but I use Chrome as my primary browser too. I think ActionParsnip has a point. :) | 14:08 |
| plumblum | Evning gents i have a somewhat techy quesiton, is it possible to mount several disks/partitions to the same location ? | 14:08 |
| SuperLag | Even though Xubuntu forgets on a regular basis, that I want Chrome to be my default browser | 14:08 |
| SuperLag | plumblum: why on earth would you want to do that? | 14:08 |
| SuperLag | plumblum: yes. It's called RAID. :) | 14:08 |
| === notOnBBits is now known as notOnIRC | ||
| starpollo | heh, fair enough, thanks for looking into it fellas :) | 14:08 |
| plumblum | SuperLag, i already have a raid ;) | 14:09 |
| SuperLag | plumblum: so you have a RAID array, and you want to mount it? easy. | 14:09 |
| plumblum | but lets say i have 2 disks with movies on them, i would like to just have one movies folder | 14:09 |
| SuperLag | plumblum: no. | 14:09 |
| plumblum | can i symlink them or something then ? | 14:09 |
| qwertzuiop | aye | 14:10 |
| somsip | plumblum: you can mount them to different subdirs, if that's what you mean? | 14:10 |
| qwertzuiop | i've got ubuntu 13.04 x64 and a thinkpad w510 here | 14:10 |
| qwertzuiop | its got a wireless intel ultimate 6300 | 14:10 |
| SuperLag | qwertzuiop: :O | 14:10 |
| plumblum | somsip, no i have a bunch of disks and i would like them to show up under one folder name | 14:10 |
| SuperLag | qwertzuiop: does it have an Nvidia Quadro in it? | 14:10 |
| SuperLag | plumblum: can't do that | 14:10 |
| somsip | plumblum: then, no | 14:10 |
| plumblum | can i symlink them then ? | 14:10 |
| SuperLag | no | 14:10 |
| SuperLag | well... yes | 14:11 |
| qwertzuiop | i only get a maximum of 54mbit wlan connect plus almost no throughput (<10kb/s). the same box with windows does >250mbit plus megabytes of throughput | 14:11 |
| SuperLag | you can put a symlink in the first mountpoint | 14:11 |
| SuperLag | but its still not *the same* directory | 14:11 |
| asu | test | 14:11 |
| SuperLag | actually no | 14:11 |
| qwertzuiop | and the last time i tried the nvidia driver did not work | 14:11 |
| qwertzuiop | SuperLag: yes, it has a quadro | 14:11 |
| SuperLag | it still has to be mounted *somewhere* | 14:11 |
| SuperLag | qwertzuiop: the Nvidia driver did *not* work? :( | 14:11 |
| qwertzuiop | was someone able to reproduce this? | 14:12 |
| === emanuel is now known as Guest19807 | ||

| somsip | plumblum: what functionality are you wanting to achieve? That you 'ls /mydrives' and get a listing of everything on all three of them? | 14:12 |

| SuperLag | :( :( :( | 14:13 |
| qwertzuiop | i seriously think about macbook for the next time | 14:13 |
| plumblum | somsip, more like that over the network, \\computername\movies should list the contents of several disks :) | 14:13 |
| SuperLag | qwertzuiop: hold on just a sec... I'm 99% sure I have that same card that I added to my Dell Latitude D630 | 14:13 |
| qwertzuiop | osx is decent enough, the screen resolutions are incredible, the battery super | 14:13 |
| ActionParsnip | starpollo: have you tried disabling addons to see if they cause it | 14:13 |
| plumblum | maybe i can do something fun with samba ? | 14:13 |
| SuperLag | qwertzuiop: no way I'd run Linux natively on a Mac. that is a waste of money to not run it as designed | 14:13 |
| Vistaus | @mianjs: Have you chosen Ubuntu as session in LightDM? | 14:13 |
| eXcAliBuR | #clamav needs your help, there is no one in there to talk to me :( | 14:14 |
| qwertzuiop | i would not run linux on that | 14:14 |
| SuperLag | plumblum: no, you cannot do that | 14:14 |
| ActionParsnip | SuperLag: +1 | 14:14 |
| qwertzuiop | obviously | 14:14 |
| gordonjcp | SuperLag: I run my macbook dual-booting between Ubuntu and OSX | 14:14 |
| mianjs | Vistaus: yes I have chosen LightDM | 14:14 |
| gordonjcp | SuperLag: it works just great | 14:14 |
| compdoc | fun? define fun | 14:14 |
| qwertzuiop | i'ld have the unix it was designed for | 14:14 |
| somsip | plumblum: no. Not unless you mount one and have a load of symlinks on that drive that point to all the other files on the other two drives that are mounted somewhere out of the way. | 14:14 |
| ActionParsnip | SuperLag: pay mac tax, then don't use the intended OS | 14:14 |
| SuperLag | gordonjcp: no arguing that it works... it's just a waste of money | 14:14 |
| theadmin | SuperLag, somsip, plumblum: It's possible, it's called aufs: mount -t aufs -o dirs=/path/to/first/directory:/path/to/second/directory:/path/to/third/directory none /path/to/union/directory | 14:14 |
| SuperLag | ActionParsnip: I'm a hardcore Mac user. No f'n way I'd do that. | 14:14 |
| gordonjcp | SuperLag: not really | 14:14 |
| qwertzuiop | I'ld love to pay for osx on thinkpads too, anyhow apple insists on selling their oversize dongles | 14:14 |
| theadmin | plumblum: That'll get you the files from three directories in one | 14:15 |
| gordonjcp | SuperLag: it's an excellent piece of hardware | 14:15 |
| SuperLag | qwertzuiop: stand by | 14:15 |
| theadmin | plumblum: Is that what you want? | 14:15 |
| asu | fu** all!!!!!!!!!!!!!! | 14:15 |
| plumblum | theadmin, exacltey | 14:15 |
| SuperLag | gordonjcp: yes, it is... no args there | 14:15 |
| somsip | theadmin: theadmin plumblum - woah. Never heard of that. I sit corrected | 14:15 |
| plumblum | if the drives were the same and i cared much about the content i would raid them | 14:15 |
| plumblum | but i dont | 14:15 |
| gordonjcp | SuperLag: and since it can run OSX and Linux, and presumably Windows if I wanted, I don't see how that is a waste of money at all | 14:16 |
| plumblum | but having 1 folder to look in instead of 4-5 would be a huge relif :D | 14:16 |
| Prock81 | hay guys, i just got a mouse issue, im on a laptop and very LUCKEY to have the mouse stick in the center of the key board. For the mouse pad i do have two fingers to scroll enabled. Maybe i accidentally put two fingers when i didnt mean to, but still even if i did it would stop when i let up. My mouse pad is STUCK as if im using 2 fingers to scroll and the pointer barely moves. what would be the problem? | 14:16 |
| plumblum | thx theadmin! i will look into it :) | 14:16 |
| gordonjcp | SuperLag: what would be a waste of money is buying a Macbook and another laptop, just to run one OS on each... | 14:16 |
| theadmin | plumblum: Basically install aufs-utils and then mount -t aufs -o dirs=dir1:dir2:dir3 none destination_directory | 14:16 |

| Walex | aitsupn: probably just change the theme in your account's look&feel preferences | 14:49 |
| aitsupn | I want my unity back, can anyone please help? | 14:49 |
| janisozaur | hi, i have two screens: left and right. currently notifications show up on right screen, but i use the left one as main screen and would like to have notifications show up there. how do i change their place? | 14:50 |
| Walex | aitsupn: please supply your Platinum GPL account number if you want replies within 5 minutes of asking. | 14:50 |
| aitsupn | Walex: I'm using default Ambiance theme but all of the wallpapers for unity gone | 14:50 |
| betrayd | lol | 14:51 |
| betrayd | i thought Titanium # | 14:51 |
| Walex | janisozaur: tell the system the left hand screen is the primary one... | 14:51 |
| janisozaur | Walex, i think it knows that already | 14:51 |
| betrayd | or janisozaur might have to pick top left corner | 14:51 |
| Walex | aitsupn: then probably you have removed whatever package contsain that unity them. Try 'apt-cache search .....' with the obvious keywords | 14:52 |
| janisozaur | betrayd, no, i'd like to have them upper right, but on left screen | 14:52 |
| tibeau | hi | 14:52 |
| betrayd | i don't know if that can be done janisozaur is it set up as one big desktop right now | 14:52 |
| ActionParsnip | emx: so the new account is ok? | 14:52 |
| tibeau | salut | 14:52 |
| emx | ActionParsnip, i can try it only in a few hours. | 14:53 |
| aitsupn | Walex: I did apt-cache Ambience and it returned light-themes - Light Themes (Ambiance and Radiance) | 14:53 |

| Lors_Soren | I'm not getting any sound in ubuntu 12.04. | 14:54 |
| Walex | aitsupn: I did 'apt-cache search unity wallpaper' and it gave me some plausible names too. | 14:54 |
| Walex | Lors_Soren: thanks for letting us know. | 14:54 |
| emx | ActionParsnip, i would have to reboot to see if that kernel-panic-like message is still there. | 14:54 |
| chvx | does linux swap need to be twice the RAM memory? | 14:54 |
| Walex | chvx: no. It is just a hint. | 14:55 |
| Walex | chvx: I have 8GiB RAM, rarely fill them, so no swap. | 14:55 |
| aitsupn | Walex: well, it's not just the wallpaper that I'm looking for, I also see blue themed screens when logging off and logging in | 14:55 |

| betrayd | janisozaur: 2 screens* | 14:57 |
| janisozaur | betrayd, i have my desktop span across two separate screens | 14:59 |
| SonikkuAmerica | platzhirsch: Run [ palimpsest ] or search the dash for Disk Utility. | 14:59 |

| betrayd | janisozaur: i don't know if notification can be asked to show on 'center' (right corner of left screen) so you might be forced to pick the top left | 15:01 |

| betrayd | janisozaur: since it is a big desktop setup you may be limited to the desktop's four corners, but check your window manager | 15:02 |
| isaac_ | SonikkuAmerica- i am downloading something else , does it hinder me from installing another app? | 15:02 |
| betrayd | janisozaur: to see if such a limitation exists | 15:02 |
| janisozaur | betrayd, how? | 15:03 |
| SonikkuAmerica | isaac_: apt-get and dpkg can only process one app at a time. | 15:03 |
| betrayd | janisozaur: see if it only gives you 4 choices off a drop down menu; I have a different WM | 15:03 |
| betrayd | janisozaur: maybe you have a control center/control panel-type for configuring notification | 15:05 |
| isaac_ | SonikkuAmerica- i see. . is there some tricks so i am able to do multiple downloads? | 15:05 |

| SonikkuAmerica | isaac_: If you were installing, say, VLC and Kdenlive: [ sudo apt-get install vlc kdenlive ] | 15:09 |

| tendenes | I have a question, and sorry if it seems a bit dumb, but Im not that into Samba and smbd.conf. I have a server where customers dump some files, either via ftp or uploads via browser (ajax). These files and folders are then accesed by a team, mounted via Samba to their Macs. What happenes now, is that some times a user deletes a folder, but it keeps reappearing - again and again for several hours. Timeout in the ftp-server config is se | 17:25 |
| tendenes | t to 300, and I have even tried to restarrt the ftp-server, and also apache. This leaves me with thinking it must be samba, and that there is some other client that have this folder opened in Finder. Could this be so? And if so, can I do something in smbd.conf to deny smbd to make the folder reappear? Or does anyone have any other thoughts? | 17:25 |

| Kitzune | Hi, I'm running openbox in ubuntu 13.04 and I'm having issues running the software center and update manager, I've pasted eval $(gnome-keyring-daemon -s --components=pkcs11,secrets,ssh,gpg) & in my ausotstart.sh file, but it doesn't seem to do the trick. | 17:47 |
| utfans05 | Falados: the ubuntu site is saying to use pam_enviroment due to it not being a script file. | 17:47 |
| wad | th0r, that makes sense. | 17:47 |
| Falados | utfans05, yeah i read that page - but that doesn't seem like a compelling reason alone | 17:47 |
| Falados | utfans05, maybe the fact that it wont break your login shell since it cant throw errors? (it not being a script and all) | 17:48 |
| utfans05 | Falados: yeah i understand what your saying. now its got me rethinking how ive done some things too lol | 17:48 |

| alesan | I hate it, it's a lousy program, but I need to fill some forms and the fonts are all wrong on those alternative readers | 18:48 |
| MonkeyDust | alesan then i guess you need wine, or contact adobe to port reader to linux | 18:48 |
| alesan | MonkeyDust, ^^^ | 18:48 |
| SonikkuAmerica | Bluewulf: (And everywhere!0 | 18:48 |

| alesan | please do not talk of things you do not know MonkeyDust unless that was a joke | 18:49 |
| SonikkuAmerica | Bluewulf: Go ahead. | 18:49 |
| MonkeyDust | alesan it's called an answer - if you want to use Adobe Reader and nothing else, it would be in wine | 18:49 |
| alesan | MonkeyDust, you must be a troll | 18:50 |
| ronalds | how could I bug report in terminal? | 18:50 |
| jeeves_moss2 | how do I do a recursive move from one disk to another that I can nohup? | 18:50 |

| ronalds | pls implement bug report gui in next relise | 18:51 |
| alesan | MonkeyDust, I ofund out that in the partner repository it is there adobe for linux | 18:51 |
| alesan | and also you can download the .deb from the adobe website | 18:51 |
| seronis | MonkeyDust, actually i found a package name for reader with about 5 seconds of googling | 18:51 |
| seronis | whicch means alesan didnt bother looking | 18:51 |
| ronalds | clementine has bug that it doesn't go fullscreen sometimes | 18:51 |
| alesan | seronis, I already have it installed | 18:51 |
| ronalds | fix that | 18:52 |
| alesan | seronis, I asked because I wanted to know the preferred way to do so | 18:52 |
| atmosx | I'm currently listening to: Το φιλαράκι by Σοφία Βόσσου from the album Ελληνικά Συλλογή | 18:52 |

| Bluewulf | I got it, thanks guys | 19:24 |
| will__ | BluesKaj, ok I rebooted | 19:24 |
| iShotz | Sup, I just installed Xubuntu on my USB drive with unetbootin, i alocated nearly 10gbs of persistant storage but steam says I only have 2GBs of storage, | 19:24 |
| SonikkuAmerica | K1lleD: That means you'll have to close out your game before you can get back to your desktop. That's all. | 19:24 |
| cv_ | Hello. Know anyone how to apply permamently video-quirks in system? | 19:25 |
| K1lleD | but i want when i play.. just look sometimes | 19:25 |
| wilee-nilee | iShotz, caper-rw will fill up and is not really cleanable. | 19:25 |
| K1lleD | .. | 19:25 |
| will__ | BluesKaj, aplay: device_list:252: no soundcards found... | 19:25 |
| iShotz | Oh | 19:25 |
| iShotz | So is there anyway I can get steam to read more space? | 19:25 |
| wilee-nilee | iShotz, Do a full install. | 19:25 |
| iShotz | But this USB stick is for on-the-go use q_q | 19:26 |
| wilee-nilee | iShotz, It will boot with grub. | 19:26 |
| Braiam | wtm0422, I've never debianized a package like that, so I have no idea | 19:26 |
| iShotz | what | 19:26 |
| kinglaaa | ok now I've removed bumblebee and installed nvidia-319. Then I got stuck in low resolution mode and fixed it by changing the HorizSync and VertRefresh values in xorg.conf. But now nvidia-settings tells me I'm not running the driver | 19:26 |
| wilee-nilee | iShotz, You just boot the stick, a full install will load grub to the mbr. | 19:27 |
| BluesKaj | will__, try alsamixer in the terminal | 19:27 |
| kinglaaa | I thought the latest nvidia proprietary driver supported optimus | 19:27 |
| wtm0422 | thanks anyway, Braiam :) | 19:27 |
| will__ | BluesKaj, cannot open mixer: No such file or directory | 19:27 |
| SonikkuAmerica | will__: it's alsamixer, not mixer | 19:27 |
| BluesKaj | kinglaaa, 319 is experimental , use 313 or 310 | 19:27 |
| kinglaaa | but only 319 supports optimus | 19:28 |
| kinglaaa | with 313/310 I have to use bumblebee again | 19:28 |
| will__ | yes that is what i typed | 19:28 |
| kinglaaa | or nothing works at all | 19:28 |

| chemist^ | hello everyone | 19:34 |
| kinglaaa | If I type lsmod|sort it doesn't even show nvidia in there. That means the nvidia driver is not loaded, right? | 19:34 |
| kinglaaa | How can I check if its in the kernel? | 19:35 |
| chemist^ | has anyone got any experience with wifi wps pin cracking and reaver (tool)? | 19:35 |
| will__ | BluesKaj, No | 19:35 |
| A1Recon | Wrong msg to the wrong person ....oops | 19:35 |
| kinglaaa | chemist^: use aircrack | 19:35 |
| chemist^ | i have a simple question regarding the subject | 19:35 |
| Bluewulf | Chemist^ I'm trying to get backtrack up and running, that may be easier to use if it works for you | 19:35 |
| dicannamas | i was so happy with my ubuntu and now i have to start from scratch again | 19:35 |
| chemist^ | kinglaaa aircrack does not crack wps | 19:35 |

| gain | elisa87: but I think is not part of the "not found" problem, anyway... | 19:36 |
| chemist^ | and i have used successfully reaver in the past | 19:36 |
| chemist^ | just have a question regarding the usage to speed things up | 19:36 |
| bekks | !backtrack | chemist^ | 19:36 |
| ubottu | chemist^: There are some Ubuntu derivatives that we cannot provide support for due to repository and software changes. Please consult their websites for more information. Examples: gNewSense (support in #gnewsense), Linux Mint (see !mint), kali-linux (#kali-linux), CrunchBang (support in #crunchbang), BackTrack (support in #backtrack-linux) | 19:36 |
| Bluewulf | Blueeagle? | 19:36 |
| Bluewulf | I'm offended. | 19:36 |
| gain | elisa87: are you shure you're chrooting in a debian based distro (with apt-get installed)? | 19:37 |
| chemist^ | i've noted that many routers have a wps pin that begins with 9 | 19:37 |
| Bluewulf | Bekks... I've been on here for this long, and now I'm getting that info... | 19:37 |
| chemist^ | reaver starts bruteforcing at 000... | 19:37 |
| A1Recon | Dicannamas there's actually a way to make the list of softs installed. | 19:37 |
| elisa87 | gain I don't know I was following the video http://gem5.org/Disk_images (under background) | 19:37 |
| Pici | chemist^: We do not support backtrack here or wifi cracking. | 19:37 |
| chemist^ | i wondered if it is possible to start the process backwards | 19:37 |
| elisa87 | so should I unmount the proc ? gain | 19:38 |
| chemist^ | why not? it's for educational purpose | 19:38 |
| will__ | BluesKaj:? | 19:38 |
| Bluewulf | Wait, so what if it's just general info regarding the console and such | 19:38 |
| elisa87 | bekks: are you familiar with this problem ? http://paste.ubuntu.com/5665507/ | 19:38 |
| Pici | chemist^: Because a) This isn't backtrack's channel (see #backtrack-linux) and b) those are the channel rules. | 19:38 |
| chemist^ | so what if it's not backtrack... reaver is available for ubuntu as well | 19:38 |
| chemist^ | oh well | 19:39 |
| chemist^ | thanks for nothing then :) | 19:39 |
| chemist^ | bye | 19:39 |

| A1Recon | /msg utfans05 | 19:39 |
| gain | elisa87: when you chroot, your inside the system. I think that gem5 has no apt-get, so it's correct that you haven't it | 19:39 |
| gain | elisa87: what are you tring to do? | 19:40 |
| dicannamas | A1Recon, you read me- question mark lost | 19:40 |
| A1Recon | Dicannamas I'm here.. | 19:41 |
| dicannamas | A1Recon, you understand what i trying to explain...i did upgrade my sistem but now when i restart the computers get to reboot but in the moment that suppose to come the ubuntu display...goes to sleep mode | 19:42 |
| BluesKaj | will__, alt+f2 , gksudo gedit /etc/modprobe.d/alsa-base.conf , add this line to the bottom of the file , options snd-hda-intel index-0 , save thefile and reboot , It's no gurantee , but it's worth a shot ...still think there's abug preventing alsa fom loading tho | 19:43 |

| wilee-nilee | !nomodeset | dicannamas | 19:46 |
| ubottu | dicannamas: 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 | 19:46 |

| betrayd | and they blame it on ADD | 19:47 |
| dicannamas | wilee-nilee, i did an upgrade from 12.10 to 13.04 | 19:47 |
| wilee-nilee | tgm4883, Never seen that, some of the errors will be the same if it is reoccurring. | 19:47 |
| wilee-nilee | dicannamas, Look at the nomodeset option. | 19:47 |
| tgm4883 | BluesKaj, I don't think it's so much the "instant gratification generation" thing more it's the "we're now getting more and more users that have no ability to troubleshoot" thing | 19:48 |

| SonikkuAmerica | L30: NOT THAT! Use [ lspci -vnn | grep 14e4 ] instead | 19:50 |
| tgm4883 | wilee-nilee, right, but while disabling apport for a population would work, I don't think it would help out developers that much | 19:50 |

| L30 | Give me a second. My ethernet is broken so I can't apt-get neither. But i have a USB ethernet adapter BRB | 19:53 |
| tgm4883 | wilee-nilee, ok, without generalizations then. I think it would be bad for developers if Mythbuntu shipped with apport disabled by default. I'd like to ship it to run completely in the background, but that doesn't seem possible | 19:53 |

| SonikkuAmerica | tozen: The point would be that that's usually how alternate device boot menus are accessed. | 20:12 |
| utfans05 | as soon as you turn your computer on you get that splash screen for the BIOS on the bottom it should give you options to hit to make the computer ask where to boot from, hit the key associated with that and then select usb | 20:12 |

| JackSprat | okay all those processed killed | 20:29 |
| SonikkuAmerica | x11xx11: Is it installed? If not, you have to install it first! | 20:29 |
| x11xx11 | @scarrs: alright, but if there is a screensaver, it is installed already.. but no configuration or user control is installed? that sounds so silly to me! | 20:29 |
| tgm4883 | x11xx11, ok, it's silly. So install xscreensaver then | 20:30 |
| x11xx11 | SonikkuAmerica: if it is not installed, then why does it show a blank screen after 10 minutes? | 20:30 |
| scarrs | there should be the config panel in the dash when you type "screensaver" | 20:30 |
| proby | JackSprat, pastebin ifconfig output | 20:30 |
| JackSprat | proby, it just populated 'ifconfig' with eth1 | 20:30 |
| SonikkuAmerica | x11xx11: Not sure... but I have to eat dinner now. Be back in an hour. | 20:30 |
| x11xx11 | In other words, Ubuntu has a screensaver, but i have to install something in order to disable it.. ERRR??! | 20:30 |
| SonikkuAmerica | x11xx11: It has gnome-screensaver (the blank screen locker) | 20:31 |
| JackSprat | pro by, can't paste bin, Ubuntu can't access the internet | 20:31 |
| x11xx11 | @SonikkuAmerica: it should have a configuration frontend to configure that, if only a simple toggle ENABLE/DISABLE. | 20:31 |
| x11xx11 | I'll try the suggestions, however! | 20:31 |
| JackSprat | proby, eth1 does have a inet addr Bcast and Mask, but no inet6 addr | 20:31 |
| eightbit | If I copy a folder over to another location, do the items get copied in any particular order? E.g., smallest files to largest? | 20:31 |
| tgm4883 | x11xx11, " gnome-screensaver is a screen saver and locker that aims to have simple, sane and secure defaults, and be well integrated with the GNOME desktop." | 20:32 |
| Bigsista^ | anyone ever seen an usb disk connect and disconnect all the time? when i try to access it i get "rejecting I/O to dead device" | 20:32 |
| proby | JackSpart , if your mac machine isn't acting as an ipv6 router you won't get a thing | 20:32 |
| yofun | http://paste.ubuntu.com/5664286/ can anyone tell me what packages to install to fix this?? | 20:32 |
| JackSprat | proby, okay that seems good then | 20:32 |
| x11xx11 | @tmg4883: well integrated meaning that users have to use command line arguments to install something to allow them to disable the blank screen? That sounds silly! | 20:33 |
| tgm4883 | x11xx11, no, you could use USC if you wanted to configure a screensaver | 20:34 |
| proby | Bigsista^, can you just pastebin : dmesg | grep usb ? | 20:34 |
| x11xx11 | @tmg4883: also, the blank screen also triggers when watching full screen flash videos... why is there no functionality to inhibit the screensaver, as found on most operating systems?! | 20:34 |
| tgm4883 | !tab x11xx11 | 20:34 |
| tgm4883 | !tab | x11xx11 | 20:34 |
| ubottu | x11xx11: You can use your <tab> key for autocompletion of nicknames in IRC, as well as for completion of filenames and programs on the command line. | 20:34 |
| JackSprat | proby, my firewall is also disabled, so it is nothing like that. Ubuntu has an IP address but just won't connect to the internet | 20:34 |
| cogware | i'm having trouble installing ubuntu. do i just need to put the ISO on a USB stick to boot from it? or do i need to take further action | 20:34 |
| yofun | http://paste.ubuntu.com/5664286/ can anyone tell me what packages to install to fix this??> | 20:34 |
| proby | JackSprat , so the problem is from the mac | 20:35 |
| x11xx11 | tgm4883, I am using a default installation. The default installation blanks the screen after 10 minutes. If there is such functionality, I expect there be a graphical frontend to control the behavior, like disable it because it prevents me from watching full screen flash videos; a pretty common desktop task. | 20:35 |
| proby | JackSprat, can you ping on the mac from ubuntu ? | 20:35 |
| JackSprat | proby, DRAT. well good to know. I will try to hack and slash it from that vantage point then. | 20:35 |

| x11xx11 | @tgm4883: I agree, but that is besides the point. I want to disable the annoying screen blanking.. it should be in the default installation; or the default install should NOT ship the screensaver functionality at all. | 20:36 |
| bertieb | x11xx11: there used to be something under 'brightness and lock ' in older versions, dunno if it's still there | 20:37 |
| tgm4883 | x11xx11, there exists a mechanism to disable the screen blanking already, further, full screen video programs should know how to temp disable the screensaver | 20:37 |
| x11xx11 | @bertieb: it was in older versions yes, but in 13.04 it is gone.. | 20:37 |
| JackSprat | proby, the Mac can access the internet (i.e. ping) but Ubuntu can't. I haven't ssh'ed into the Ubuntu or anything like that. Just trying to use the wireless on the Mac so Ubuntu can access the web to update Ubuntu | 20:37 |
| wilee-nilee | sarge1221, try #clamav maybe, in the past I just looked on the web for clam fixes | 20:37 |
| tgm4883 | x11xx11, no it's not gone in 13.04, i'm looking at it right now | 20:37 |
| proby | JackSpart , if you can ping from ubuntu to mac than the problem is on the mac side | 20:38 |
| x11xx11 | @tgm4883: as far as i Googled, there is no way to disable the screen saver in 13.04 without resorting to command line. I did not expect this from Ubuntu.. the #1 Linux desktop OS. | 20:38 |
| tgm4883 | x11xx11, you are wrong | 20:38 |
| proby | if not i think i will search for you :) | 20:38 |

| tgm4883 | x11xx11, "System Settings" > "Brightness & Lock" | 20:38 |
| proby | Bigsista^, i wonder if this happens only with linux ? | 20:39 |
| x11xx11 | tgm4883, hmm, apoligies.. i have seen that screen multiple times. somehow i did not see the ' Turn screen off when inactive for:' I did disable the Lock however. I guess i just missed it :/ | 20:39 |
| tgm4883 | x11xx11, I need no appology, however I believe you were badmouthing Ubuntu | 20:40 |

| goddard | can anyone tell me how to force upgrade an app with apt-get? | 21:26 |
| jrib | goddard: you haven't posted what I asked you to post | 21:27 |
| pskpsk | hey guys. question. i'm using commandline sftp to list a remote directory by date "ls -t" but the result doesn't seem to be sorted by modified date. i get april 10, april 11, may 10, april 28 | 21:27 |
| SonikkuAmerica | goddard: The latest repo version is all you'll get, but you can [ sudo apt-get dist-upgrade ], or add a PPA (should one exist) | 21:27 |
| pskpsk | what do you think can be causing this error? | 21:28 |
| L30 | :( This eternal thernet adapter saves my life with all the broadcom drama. Buts slower than molases .... tops out at 25kb/s | 21:28 |
| goddard | SonikkuAmerica: i want to install something that is from a PPA but it hasn't come out with a raring version. Only Quantal... | 21:28 |
| SolarisBoy | pskpsk: try ls -ltr | 21:28 |
| vi956925 | oh.. thanks! shoulda tried that i guess ye. uh, but about the hanging process and Im in the tty place, do you think me being this newb can google some basics to find simple way for that, or very complicated..? i barly know to find process id's (with 'ps' or 'top') and to kill -9 <id> and killall <name>, veru basic and narrow info:S | 21:28 |
| tats | hi. i have a system76 laptop with ubuntu 12.10 installed. today i put my laptop in my handbag but it didn't go to sleep (don't know why) and after a while it started beeping loudly (this is what it does when it runs out of batteries). i thus switched it off. however it was really, really hot (you know when it smells a bit like burned plastic). | 21:28 |
| SonikkuAmerica | goddard: So either edit your /etc/apt/sources.list or use [ software-properties-gtk ] to set the version to "quantal." | 21:28 |
| vi956925 | mayb its too complicated for this lil thing and Im better of just rebooting incase of such issues for now ? | 21:29 |
| pskpsk | SolarisBoy: no difference in result order unfortunately | 21:29 |
| SolarisBoy | vi956925: so what you want to do is go back to TTY1 (black screen) - run 'top' and you can kill it from there | 21:29 |
| SolarisBoy | pskpsk: weird | 21:29 |
| SonikkuAmerica | tats: That's when you want to turn it off and wait about 21 million years before switching it back on. | 21:29 |
| tats | now it starts grub but it boots with the initramfs prompt. | 21:29 |
| vi956925 | or, any simple commands or things to find hanging processes and know to manage them as such? im not even sure there is a hanging procwess but | 21:29 |
| goddard | SonikkuAmerica: i set it manually in my software sources but it held back the updates | 21:29 |
| pskpsk | SolarisBoy: yea it's really strange. i did a little bit of google and i thought it's something to do with the openssh version? | 21:29 |
| SolarisBoy | pskpsk: possible, what openssh version is on the remote end? | 21:30 |
| pskpsk | SolarisBoy: but i can't verify | 21:30 |
| tats | SonikkuAmerica: yeah that's what i did. waited 2 hours before switching it on though (not enough time?) | 21:30 |
| pskpsk | SolarisBoy: i don't have access to remote other than sftp | 21:30 |
| SonikkuAmerica | tats: You should wait until the machine feels cold to the touch... or stick your battery in the freezer for a while. | 21:30 |
| pskpsk | SolarisBoy: anyway to find out through sftp? | 21:31 |
| SolarisBoy | pskpsk: if you have access to sftp you should be able to telnet to remote on port 22 and expect (hopefully) a header | 21:31 |
| SolarisBoy | the version string is generally in said header - pskpsk | 21:31 |
| pskpsk | oh nice let me try SolarisBoy: | 21:31 |
| SolarisBoy | cool | 21:31 |
| vi956925 | SolarisBoy thanks. But Im unsure even how to tell if some process hangs.. uh, would it say like <defunct> or something inthe 'ps -ad' list, or in 'top' ? and is the tty prompt required and more powerful than first using 'sudo su' to get root? | 21:31 |
| SolarisBoy | vi956925: sudo su is only done on requirement and you should do sudo -i if really needed | 21:32 |
| vi956925 | so I just simply locate a hanging proces like that (assuing easy and something like taht^), and just kill it ye? as it seems to be some core thing (opening folders causig the system to hang),any chanse i mess somethig up for operation of my ubuntu-desktop and needa restart it afterwards or something too? | 21:32 |
| vi956925 | o | 21:33 |
| SolarisBoy | vi956925: defunct means zombied - so it's likely not problematic - it depends - you would want to look at the sorting order of either command - for instance in top you may want to sort by CPU (to tell what is taking cpu cycles) or maybe by RSZ (to tell what is using mem) etc etc | 21:33 |
| pskpsk | SolarisBoy: SSH-2.0-OpenSSH_5.2p1-hpn13v6 | 21:33 |
| vi956925 | oh | 21:33 |
| tats | SonikkuAmerica: it feels pretty cold to me. | 21:33 |
| SonikkuAmerica | tats: How long has it been off? | 21:33 |
| SolarisBoy | vi956925: but in general you may be able to get away with typing 'top' and monitoring the output - in which case you can point out (generally) attributes of a hung process - you can also kill that process from top assuming you started top as a user with that priv | 21:34 |

| vi956925 | cool.. k, thanks. will try check processes and look on their details and try kill or play with those for things like this then.. thanks! | 21:35 |

| === Barret is now known as Guest70482 | ||
| tats | SonikkuAmerica: ok. will do. but the fact that it boots with initramfs, does that indicate that there is some broken hardware? | 21:36 |
| pskpsk | SolarisBoy:fairly old. so the ls command changes from version to versions? how do i go about figuring out the changes and get it working as expected? weird thing when i'm connected to sftp and do help manual says the same as everywhere i've seen on the net. ls -ltr should do the expected | 21:36 |
| vi956925 | may be required to search up info no how to recovering the process'es state or atleat restarting it too, or would it do that itself with the critical parts that i may accidentaly kill and dont know way back from | 21:36 |
| SolarisBoy | pskpsk: i dont think the ls command is the issue in that bug it may be something related to how ssh is displaying the data on the other side - but it could be a bug in ls, less likely IMHO | 21:37 |
| vi956925 | or is it always pretty safe and np to just kill what is frozen n such anyway? like if i have some data i don wanna lose | 21:37 |
| SolarisBoy | vi956925: thats a great question actually. | 21:37 |
| pskpsk | SolarisBoy: yea you're right it's less likely to be an error with ls and more with something going on my with the server | 21:37 |

| SolarisBoy | vi956925: for isntance you mentioned a browser and how it may be hanging your desktop - in this case, i would kill it, there isn't any other way (other than clicking the close button from the browser window, but it if's hung..) | 21:40 |
| pskpsk | SolarisBoy: hmm yea.. i figured it out. it's my mistake of trying to make it list files matching a certain term | 21:40 |
| pskpsk | SolarisBoy: i was using ls -lt DMUS-* | 21:40 |
| SolarisBoy | vi956925: where alternatively if it were a service - i dont know like MySQL - you will want to stop it gracefully as a pose to a kill command . in the case of MySQL for instance, there will be a startup script either via Upstart or Sys-V init | 21:40 |
| pskpsk | SolarisBoy: which messed up the date sort | 21:41 |
| vi956925 | yeah, I had to earlier as all my other windows became white/grey and unusable until I killed firefox:x once it just crashd too, was just anooyed as I had many tabs open with urls i forgot, and seems no way to recover it:\ | 21:41 |

| SolarisBoy | vi956925: you may want to review what sites you were on when it does this, for instance a site which does a lot of JS play in the back and a bunch of refreshes, is likely pushing memory usage upwards with no ceiling - things like that can hang up the box sometimes you just need to becareful of what sites your on | 21:43 |
| vi956925 | yeah, will know to make bookmarks of all when it may happen. same problem on windows with chrome I remember, hanging and eventually losing all the tabs with no recovery if i keep opening. fortunately Firefox can easily export bookmarks to .html-file even, so if I do that now n then should keep it pretty safe then. nothing important really tho:d | 21:44 |
| SolarisBoy | i know this happens with my jobs portal which is pretty resource intensive , one thing i did was put my browser cache in a memory mount and that seemed to make things move a little faster - every once in a while i still get hung | 21:44 |

| vi956925 | was pornsites with flash videos, both browsers whined about flash errors too, flash hanging or something like that which is prolly related, and that the memory runs out:s | 21:45 |
| SolarisBoy | oh yea that'll do it - especially cause they generally have multiple other flash based ads on site shooting memory usage through the roof on those Pr0n sites | 21:45 |
| SolarisBoy | try ad block plus or something may help | 21:46 |
| vi956925 | took a while to pick out data i plan to download so sux losing t all, also work doing it all at once and often doesnt happen. jhust lost all the stores urls several times now after it grows big, hoping to avoid somehow:x bookmarking and exporting that to file for now should work well tho | 21:46 |

| SolarisBoy | got ya | 21:49 |
| vi956925 | ...i mean, understand them well enough to use them qwithout inconvenience. ofte bit messy figuring what/how theres issues with some sites, and ease of fixing that | 21:49 |

| Bulk_Vanderhuge | Fun question, in ubuntu 12.04, what would I break if remove 'sudo' package? I am not interested in opinions regarding security issues. I am strictly interested in what if anything might not work properly if this is done? anyone :d? | 22:07 |
| neekz0r | i've heard of 'politely' fork bombing people, or one of my friends told someone to cat /dev/urandom > /vmlinuz when they asked how to hack using linux, but sheesh | 22:08 |
| vi956925 | dont remember which place it was.. mayb here on freenode mayb, redhat,centos or something.. helped some guy with it, no problem for me tho or much i cared about either, luckily. but,afraid of same again somehow.. still dont feel safe not knowing all the processes,network stuff etc | 22:08 |
| === duanedes1gn is now known as duanedesign | ||
| vi956925 | hated this about win7 and got worse since xp, just a milion processes n stuff not very clear, so many things going on auto-updates of all kindsa etc.. no way to know if any maliciious | 22:09 |
| neekz0r | one of my tests for new hires was to put a fork bomb in rc.local and see how long it took them to figure out how to fix it >:) | 22:09 |
| Bulk_Vanderhuge | some smart chap must know something about this inquiry | 22:09 |
| SonikkuAmerica | Bulk_Vanderhuge: If you dumped sudo you'd need the root password for ANYTHING... including installing software. | 22:10 |
| neekz0r | Bulk_Vanderhuge: intresting question, i suspect not a lot -- but if it's from a resh install you may have a hard time to su up to root | 22:10 |
| vi956925 | much work or truoble learning to use netstat , ps/top and such basic tools to know of and control all the data and movement on disc and network..? prolly some hacker tools that disguise malicious trafic for example tho, or is linux for sure safe enough if following best practice/normal security atleast? | 22:10 |
| vi956925 | i mean extensively, all parameters etc.. so if somethign weird/unusual, just look in some kinda logs or something to know for sure, or too complciated ? | 22:11 |
| Bulk_Vanderhuge | SonikkuAMerica you have succeeded in not addressing the question at all | 22:11 |
| vi956925 | maybe other tools too, or maybe neither are temper proof, atleat if exploited thru the root acc or something.. i dno:| | 22:11 |
| neekz0r | vi956925: provided user space is set correctly, it's 'safer', but there is still bad things that can go wrong; for most desktop things it tends to be pretty safe for the system | 22:11 |
| Dr_willis | vi956925, biggest danger i see from being in here all the time.. is the 'end user/admin' doing somthing stupid.. | 22:12 |
| Bulk_Vanderhuge | neekz0r this is interesting. Yes I am on a fresh install, I did set my root password. What trouble do you suggest I might have if I were to remove sudo at this point? | 22:12 |
| neekz0r | Bulk_Vanderhuge: not a lot, but SOME scripts may fail that call sudo and if you are using the desktop which likes to automate things you could expect some failures there | 22:12 |
| vi956925 | yeah.. widows is also pretty safe most of the time if taking precautions..shit happens tho:x | 22:12 |
| Bulk_Vanderhuge | That the su command would not work? | 22:13 |
| Dr_willis | ive seen widows be very unsafe in the past. but no idea how well done win8 is. | 22:13 |
| vi956925 | hopefulyl this gna be much better..! atleast more controllable and all, once i get around to knowing enough taht will hopefully be possible then! | 22:13 |
| SonikkuAmerica | Bulk_Vanderhuge: That's what I was saying before. You'd need the password of ROOT... | 22:13 |
| neekz0r | the su command would work in a CLI enviroment, but i'm not sure about how the desktop would deal with it as it tends to call sudo type functions, i don't know if it calls sudo directly or if it uses it's own sudo system | 22:13 |
| vi956925 | yeah but even with antivirus/firewall and all updates.. browser exploits with some "good" virus bypasing all these things and bad strike of luck, and its all no use | 22:13 |
| SonikkuAmerica | neekz0r, Bulk_Vanderhuge: It used to use gksudo; not so much anymore, but it uses a form of sudo. | 22:14 |
| Dr_willis | vi956925, by design any browser expoit ran by a user.. would only be able to affect the single user.. unlike what can happen in other os's | 22:14 |
| Bulk_Vanderhuge | Personally I am used to industrial unix distros, and have never used sudo. I am on a single user PC, and it annoys me in principle. The default configuration in ubuntu allows me full root access with it, it is totally useless for me. | 22:15 |
| betrayd | rename it Bulk_Vanderhuge =] go ahead | 22:15 |
| vi956925 | im prolly overly paranoid tho.. but dont ilke the increasing laws/regulations etc. everywher,e like google tightening up more and more as they gain power.. guess some day ill be always-connected thru chained encrytped vpns and only stay within TOR or such networks and hope a "new internet" some ways will develop there eventually, if such thigns prove resilient.. or mayb never even were | 22:15 |
| Bulk_Vanderhuge | I can gain full root privs without root password, just in principle I want to kill it with fire. | 22:16 |

| neekz0r | i still do sudo /bin/bash :) | 22:16 |
| Bulk_Vanderhuge | yeah on a single user box i don't see the point. i really want to uninstall it. | 22:17 |
| betrayd | eeewwww su -c ftw | 22:17 |
| neekz0r | su - | 22:17 |
| neekz0r | Bulk_Vanderhuge: to protect OS from users, i suspect | 22:17 |
| Bulk_Vanderhuge | on a single user box? | 22:17 |
| neekz0r | aye | 22:18 |
| Bulk_Vanderhuge | :D | 22:18 |
| Bulk_Vanderhuge | but the default config does not protect. you would have to configure the shit out of it to get any protection | 22:18 |
| betrayd | Bulk_Vanderhuge: you getting rid of login lightdm or w/e too | 22:18 |
| neekz0r | you are right, to be honest i'm just speculating | 22:19 |

| Bulk_Vanderhuge | yeah sudo has been annoying me this week i can't stop thinking about it lol | 22:19 |
| neekz0r | haha | 22:19 |
| Bulk_Vanderhuge | betrayd what do you mean | 22:19 |
| Dr_willis | cant say ive really had any issues with sudo and gksudo... | 22:19 |
| betrayd | might be the next logical step for a single user box, | 22:20 |
| Bulk_Vanderhuge | Dr_willis nobody asked though | 22:20 |
| neekz0r | man, if it's that pervasive in your thoughtspace maybe it's time for a vay-cay | 22:20 |
| betrayd | no more gui logon process (and I don't mean autologin) | 22:20 |
| betrayd | no neekz0r he may have to move on then | 22:20 |
| Dr_willis | biggest issue i see in here are people not properly using the security tools that are allready in the system | 22:20 |
| betrayd | he is not the target demographic | 22:21 |
| Bulk_Vanderhuge | Dr_willis nobody asked what you think the 'biggest issue' is | 22:21 |
| neekz0r | Dr_willis: that's always the case | 22:21 |
| Dr_willis | Bulk_Vanderhuge, lose the attitude.. do you have an actual support question then? | 22:21 |
| jordan223 | hola! pm-suspend isn't working. I run dmesg after it fails, and I see a message: Freezing of tasks failed after 20.01 seconds (1 tasks refusing to freeze, wq_busy=0): | 22:21 |
| jordan223 | [ 489.216977] colord" but I don't know how to track down what is failing to freeze. | 22:21 |
| Bulk_Vanderhuge | Dr_willis yes I did, which you didn't read | 22:21 |
| Bulk_Vanderhuge | hence attitude | 22:21 |
| Dr_willis | Bulk_Vanderhuge, all i saw was you ranting. but whatever | 22:22 |
| Bulk_Vanderhuge | logic is fun | 22:22 |
| neekz0r | i can see where he's coming from, Dr_willis, sudo is kind of backwards to us old schoolers | 22:23 |
| rantic | make sense to me and i'm new school : O | 22:23 |
| Bulk_Vanderhuge | the original question is "what would break if i uninstalled sudo " and i mentioned i was not concerned with theories regarding security issues | 22:23 |
| Dr_willis | neekz0r, theres a lot more to sudo then 'what you type to get sudo rights' but most people rarely need the other features | 22:23 |
| neekz0r | i'm aware | 22:24 |
| toneato | hey guys, i need some help. I need to update bios on a machine without disc, cd or usb sticks. its an hp thin client 5000. its got win ce on it, but that bitch cant connect to google or something. when i want to connect to google there is just a message that i have chosen to download a file named google from google.com... anyone got a clue? oh its got ftp (WOW) but only without username and password. | 22:24 |
| neekz0r | the thought process is if you are root, you are root, and that is that.. none of this borrowing root powers or using sudo to run certain root commands | 22:24 |
| OerHeks | Bulk_Vanderhuge, try it, and see the error. you are free to uninstall anything you think you don't need. | 22:24 |
| kvothetech | Bulk_Vanderhuge: nothing would break as long as you have a root pw | 22:25 |

| Bulk_Vanderhuge | kvothetech hope you're right :p | 22:25 |
| Dr_willis | some tools may be designed to call sudo to gain rights. those could break | 22:25 |
| Bulk_Vanderhuge | this is a concern ^ | 22:25 |
| th0r | Bulk_Vanderhuge, you should be aware however, you will incur the wrath of the high priests of the church of ubuntu | 22:25 |
| kvothetech | Bulk_Vanderhuge: i don't have sudo installed at all...everything works fine nothing explicitly depends on it other than gksu and other modified versions of it maybe | 22:26 |

| neekz0r | toneato: i was almost ready to reply to you :P | 22:27 |
| kvothetech | rpickler: what's the issu | 22:27 |
| elisa87 | jalal@mona:/mnt/benchmarks$ cp ~/rodinia_2.3/openmp/backprop/backprop /mnt/benchmarks/backprop | 22:27 |

| elisa87 | cp: cannot create regular file `/mnt/benchmarks/backprop': Read-only file system | 22:27 |
| Bulk_Vanderhuge | 1. Single user box 2. Default configuration allows sudoers to become full root priv'd 3. Why configure sudo permissions when I am only user 4. therefore I rage inside everytime type sudo | 22:27 |
| kvothetech | elisa87: mount -o remount rw /mnt/benchmarks or whatever you mounted | 22:27 |
| rpickler | kvothetech: I have a asus zenbook prime, and I got ubuntu to install, but afterward, it only goes straight back to the bios. I can't get it to recognize the install | 22:27 |
| elisa87 | kvothetech: can you explain a little more? | 22:28 |
| d10n | Bulk_Vanderhuge: I think Ubuntu is not the distro for you | 22:28 |
| elisa87 | rw? kvothetech | 22:28 |
| neekz0r | i thought ubuntu was for everyone or something | 22:28 |
| Bulk_Vanderhuge | d10n you think? | 22:28 |
| Dr_willis | there are other users such as lightdm, and other services also run as their own special users. | 22:28 |
| Bulk_Vanderhuge | I remember my first thought | 22:28 |
| Dr_willis | so even a single user system , can have more then 1 user. | 22:28 |
| rpickler | I really have to give microsoft credit, all the new advances in windows 8 has made this the longest linux install since redhat 6.2 | 22:28 |
| MonkeyDust | Bulk_Vanderhuge is there something you actually *like* about Ubuntu? | 22:28 |
| kvothetech | elisa87: elisa87 you have a partition mounted in /mnt (mount alone will show you) mount -o remount /mnt wil remount it as rw so you can write to that partition | 22:28 |
| elisa87 | Dr_willis: do you have any idea about this problem regarding not being able to cp to a mounted drive? | 22:28 |
| Bulk_Vanderhuge | MonkeyDust gets offended easily | 22:29 |
| kvothetech | elisa87: see above... | 22:29 |
| Dr_willis | elisa87, if the filesystem is found to be currupted. or the hd is failing. it can get remounted read only. | 22:29 |
| OerHeks | elisa87, the error says " Read-only file system" | 22:29 |
| Dr_willis | elisa87, what filesystem is the drive? | 22:29 |
| toneato | hey guys, i need some help. I need to update bios on a machine without disc, cd or usb sticks. its an hp thin client 5000. its got win ce on it, but that bitch cant connect to google or something. when i want to connect to google there is just a message that i have chosen to download a file named google from google.com... anyone got a clue? oh its got ftp (WOW) but only without username and password. | 22:29 |
| elisa87 | Dr_willis: I am pretty sure the file system is not corrupted...any way what's the solution? How do you copy? | 22:29 |
| Dr_willis | toneato, you may want to be asking in #windows - i havent seen a deivice running windowsce in ages.. | 22:30 |
| kvothetech | elisa87: mount it as rw...just told you how | 22:30 |
| elisa87 | http://paste.ubuntu.com/5665950/ | 22:30 |
| Dr_willis | elisa87, what FS is it? what does mount say about it | 22:30 |
| Bulk_Vanderhuge | Dr_willis are you saying lightdm would no long function without sudo | 22:30 |
| elisa87 | kvothetech: you mean instead of -o I should put -rw ?? I am such a beginner in mounting so I didn't get it | 22:30 |
| kvothetech | Bulk_Vanderhuge: it would still work... | 22:30 |
| Dr_willis | Bulk_Vanderhuge, i said lightdm has its own lightdm user. | 22:30 |
| Bulk_Vanderhuge | gotcha | 22:31 |
| Dr_willis | a lot of the other gui admin tools may break however. | 22:31 |
| Dr_willis | testing wild ideas in virtualbox... may be a good idea. ;) | 22:31 |
| th0r | Dr_willis, I don't think they will break, they just won't run under a normal user account. But that is the way it has been since long before canonical | 22:31 |
| kvothetech | elisa87: mount -o remount,rw basically remounts it as an read write | 22:32 |
| Dr_willis | th0r, thats sort of 'broken' in my definition. ;) | 22:32 |
| elisa87 | Can you give me a link which has details on it kvothetech | 22:32 |
| kvothetech | elisa87: man mount | 22:32 |
| Bulk_Vanderhuge | Dr_willis Please, don't hold back. You came in and demanded what my question was, but give the most vague answers possible. The original question was "what would break if I removed sudo, I am not concerned with your ideas about security" Well cough it up man, need I ask - WHICH "gui admin tools would break" ? | 22:33 |
| Dr_willis | Bulk_Vanderhuge, no idea. as i said.. try it in vbox and see. | 22:33 |
| kvothetech | Bulk_Vanderhuge: NONE NOTHING DEPENDS ON IT...if you don't believe me...try it i can screenshot using admin tools without sudo if you want. | 22:33 |
| Bulk_Vanderhuge | kvothetech it isn't that I don't trust your answer, just being thorough here. | 22:33 |
| Dr_willis | you want specifcs for a 'very wild and obscure' case which i doubt anyone will know | 22:34 |
| Bulk_Vanderhuge | and thank you for your replies on this btw | 22:34 |
| neekz0r | hehe | 22:34 |
| neekz0r | are you a sys admin, Bulk_Vanderhuge | 22:34 |
| Dr_willis | bottom line.. try it and see. and dont be suprised if things go badly. | 22:34 |
| dupamaryna | sd | 22:34 |
| vi956925 | i dont really know or follow such tech n related news and a big newb to most security anyway myself so not sure.. anyone else know more mayb?-> think theres any good reasons to continue studying security online, besides minor acts for self-defence? I mean for things like keeping anonymous online, with all the rules,privacy stuff, regulations etc.. mayb theres no way around and may rather embrace and accept slavery and total control and eventually tota | 22:34 |
| d10n | Bulk_Vanderhuge: archlinux.org. No sense ranting in here about something integral to Ubuntu. | 22:35 |
| Bulk_Vanderhuge | Dr_willis your opinions regarding what is wild and obscure are just that, opinions. I dismiss you now, now that you concede to know nothing about a question which you originally could not wait to provide answers to. | 22:35 |
| Dr_willis | Bulk_Vanderhuge, again .. lose the attitude.. we are having a discussion and you aparently just want to argue and yell at people. | 22:35 |
| Bulk_Vanderhuge | d10n thinks multiple user permission software is integral to a single user ubuntubox | 22:35 |
| neekz0r | vi956925: i missed your question about security, what was it? | 22:35 |
| d10n | it was "sudo sucks arrrrrg" | 22:35 |

| neekz0r | vi956925: to remain anonymous online requires a lot of work; you are right in that they can analyze word patterns and selection to help identify individuals and fingerprinting hardware profiles as well, but most people don't have something that is that important to counter-act such things | 22:41 |
| vi956925 | like the TOR network, theres arms and drug-trafficing in large scale there. seems perceived somewhat "safe" in many ways, and some similar things.. i know many of them use some boot-cd verions of linux and heavy security.. just afraid it cant last, and might aswell neglect security and follow the stream and hope for the best isntead | 22:41 |
| zatan | kvothetech, proby look at this http://dpaste.com/1159599/ I do exlcude but it doesnt seem to work ? | 22:41 |

| vi956925 | how the data we submit (even this text) can be used with good analysis, if acepted.. we shuld also accept x-ray sattelites IRL and chips in everyone to shape the communities according to govt's desires.. i dno, atleast seems rules and resitrctions are being removed, streamlining one narrow way | 22:42 |

| vi956925 | yeah i know, id plan to use a chained secure vpn in addition, and something like a default connection to TOR system-wide as some of those guys does. like how i see giving up some goods (games mostly..) in coming to linux, tho bad atm.. is the "good" step and supports freedom hoping itd last and eventualyl build it up to cover whats missing by just bearing with the initial lackings | 22:44 |
| kvothetech | elisa87: or umount /research/jalal/gem5/gem5-stable/system/alpha/disks/linux-latest.img /mnt/tmp | 22:44 |
| vi956925 | i mean like TOR network, if it could prove resilent forever, could be like an internal internet there that is beyond control of whoever controls networking.. | 22:44 |
| kvothetech | elisa87: you have more than one thing mounted in that dir that's why it didn't let you just provide the /mnt | 22:45 |
| elisa87 | kvothetech: http://paste.ubuntu.com/5665996/ | 22:45 |
| vi956925 | afraid things like TOR is just at the mercy of the same ones enforcing these new regulations and will be gone at any time as they please, and isnt anything to hope for, and just assume and accept internet will never be free and at the mercy of whatever path is decided for us and set frames | 22:46 |
| zatan | proby, -R didnt help have got any other idea ? | 22:47 |
| vi956925 | its kinda like sattelites watching us IRL all the time, and chips in our brains and all, the value of all the indivual data plp give out (see public Facebook walls), massive room for exploitation and abuse, total control and manipulation eventually | 22:47 |
| elisa87 | kvothetech: is that fixed now? | 22:47 |
| proby | zatan , i have a hack | 22:47 |
| zatan | proby, share it then :))) | 22:47 |
| kvothetech | elisa87: umount -n /research/jalal/gem5/gem5-stable/system/alpha/disks/linux-latest.img /mnt/tmp | 22:48 |
| proby | you should remove '' :D | 22:48 |
| kvothetech | elisa87: that should tell it to skip the mtab | 22:48 |
| vi956925 | soo... noone had much confidence in either resilience of such 'secure' networks nor know to trust network and computer security enough either | 22:49 |
| elisa87 | kvothetech: I think now it works jalal@mona:/research/jalal/gem5/gem5-stable/system/alpha/disks$ sudo umount -n /research/jalal/gem5/gem5-stable/system/alpha/disks/linux-latest.img /mnt/tmp | 22:49 |

| neekz0r | vi956925: i read all of what you said, and i'm still not sure what your question is... :P | 22:49 |
| kvothetech | elisa87: so does mount list it as mounted yet? | 22:49 |
| kvothetech | neekz0r: i don't think he has one other than just random comments on how someone somewhere can generally read what you're doing. | 22:50 |
| elisa87 | kvothetech: I am not sure can you see this mount result and certify it? http://paste.ubuntu.com/5666000/ thanks | 22:50 |
| vi956925 | sounds cool tho, and if lasts for many years with no big changes, mayb ill do like those folks have setup their linuxes and as a base tunell all my traffic thru that, and try eventually do all my stuff online within the 'secure' borders and encourage others. mainly as I dont trust the govts aalways and forever making the best/honest/good choises, knowing all the idiot humans that aaftreall makes it | 22:51 |
| vi956925 | neekz0r: sorry lol uh, maybe just me being in bad state atm not talking well:| i just hope to use TOR or similar as a base and "home"-nternet some day for most doings and be able to consider that really safe, but i think not | 22:52 |

| vi956925 | yeah sry lol i guess i talk too much n shud go back to games or something n change my focus hmh.. just was kinda related to something i thought of for my fuure use of this OS:P but mayb im just stupid or somehting tho i dno...:d l8rs tden! | 22:53 |
| elisa87 | kvothetech: it worked ...I did chmod 777 disk.img before mounting and now I can write to it | 22:54 |
| neekz0r | ... well, that was interesting | 22:55 |
| kvothetech | neekz0r: ? | 22:55 |
| kvothetech | elisa87: chmod 777 is rarely the right solution for anything | 22:56 |

| catholic7 | how do i give access to a particular folder in vsftpd? | 22:56 |
| c3f59 | kvothetech: would you prefer 666? | 22:56 |
| Ruint__ | what size? does ubuntu touch use for it's wallpaper | 22:56 |
| Ruint__ | err | 22:57 |
| Ruint__ | wallpaper? ^ | 22:57 |
| kvothetech | catholic7: make sure it's in the documentroot and make sure the vsftpd process user has access to it (via acl or chmod) | 22:57 |
| catholic7 | kvothetech, i have no idean how to do that | 22:58 |
| Ruint__ | trying to get my friend to rotate her new fractal 180 degrees and format it as a phone wallpaper; i think it would work well with ubuntu-touch http://quie-scent.deviantart.com/art/Bipolar-Julianscope-Sinusoidal-371680347 | 22:58 |
| Ruint__ | dunno if there's a need for wallpapers though | 22:59 |
| kvothetech | catholic7: the directories vsftpd uses are in vsftpd.conf ..make sure it's in one of those directories somewhere and as for the acl/chmod/selinux permissions depends which of them orif all of theme needs to apply to at least acl/se ...what you'd do | 22:59 |
| catholic7 | kvothetech, i want to give access to a diffirent partition: /dev/sda5 | 22:59 |
| c3f59 | hi all, seeking to chat with someone who is LPC-1. someone available? | 23:00 |
| kvothetech | catholic7: so add it to the directories in vsftpd as a valid place then make sure that the uid/gid vsftpd is running as has access to it. | 23:01 |
| kvothetech | c3f59: what's your question | 23:01 |
| catholic7 | kvothetech, sorry man, im looking at that config and i dont know where to put it | 23:02 |
| c3f59 | kvothetech: it's a job related question | 23:02 |
| kvothetech | c3f59: ok you'll stll have better luck just answering it. | 23:03 |
| kvothetech | er asking | 23:03 |
| c3f59 | i am thinking about gettint LPC-1 because a relative in IT told me to, and i wanted to know if it is worth the trouble and the money | 23:03 |
| kvothetech | c3f59: i'm not lpc-1 but i'd assume like anything else it depends where you're applying etc. I would rather get the rhcsa rhce and rhs355 but that's just me (and i don't even like red hat) | 23:04 |
| c3f59 | kvothetech: are you certified in some way? | 23:05 |
| hylian | i want to install kde, but I want to install the least amount of stuff, how do i do that? (what package(s) do I install?) | 23:05 |

| kvothetech | hylian: kdebase-meta | 23:06 |
| hylian | thanks kvothetech! | 23:06 |
| kvothetech | catholic7: give me a sec i'l go look | 23:06 |

I mean such as any extnsive yet understandable well-known guides i can focus on to know will cover most, or does most ppl go actualy IRL classes to learn about it? so many small things may take ages or never get into b4 i need it, thinking of pushing myself to just readin some guides or such and | 23:09 |
| lazers | rantic: .xinitrc/.xsession? Make your own. | 23:09 |
| kvothetech | c3f59: most of the stuff that applies to rh applies to all minus where exact configs are....and it's a personal preference..and i said the above and i really don't like rh | 23:09 |
| lazers | rantic: https://wiki.ubuntu.com/CustomXSession | 23:09 |
| rantic | lazers: That's my point, there is no .xinitrc or .xsession | 23:09 |
| Hx2 | any gnome experte? | 23:09 |
| kvothetech | vi956925: theres' a lot of good references etc...depends what area you want to go into or just general knowledge theres a lot of good books.. | 23:10 |
| kvothetech | vi956925: hell theres a ton of good general guides check tlpd.org | 23:10 |
| kvothetech | Hx2: what's the question | 23:10 |
| Hx2 | do you know about the error failed to load session "gnome-classic" , this is with gnome 3.8 | 23:10 |
| betrayd | so it maybe in /etc/X11/xinit or there in Xsession | 23:11 |
| Hx2 | kvothetech. | 23:11 |
| vi956925 | just general info, system management all all the useful commands,settings n such taht so many seems to know of,wondering if i just missed the readme or someting.. | 23:11 |
| betrayd | rantic so it maybe in /etc/X11/xinit or there in Xsession | 23:11 |
| kvothetech | Hx2: that you don't have gnome-classic installed or some bit's missing | 23:11 |
| kvothetech | catholic7: local_root variable | 23:11 |
| vi956925 | besides the desktop and all, probably will encounted system errors, diff config problems etc. eventually.. when that happens im pretty stuck and at the mercy of what google has of simple things to say :| | 23:11 |
| kvothetech | vi956925: look at orielly tldp some of the sams books are ok but really simplified...t | 23:12 |
| lazers | rantic: "man startx" -- Files are listed. | 23:12 |
| Hx2 | kvothetech: I installed the following: gnome-shell ubuntu-gnome-desktop and gnome-shell-extensions | 23:12 |
| vi956925 | i mean all the commands, tools etc... all these helpful things and ways to do things.. been troubling to tweak a game lately and while a bunch (imo complex stuff to figure without much reading, thx to some who already had same who compiled solutions tho), s | 23:12 |
| mdfe | How do i show hidden files in the new nautlius? | 23:12 |

| kvothetech | Hx2: does that include gnome-classic-shell or whatever? | 23:12 |
| kvothetech | vi956925: logs verbose mode and just plain reading the error is usually enough to solve most problems | 23:13 |
| vi956925 | kvothetech: oh yeah cool.. thanks.. was hoping there is some good books or vids i can get online, just get one set and if readin and understanging all eventually, will be able to manage most on my own | 23:13 |

| vi956925 | owell, the whole desktop things seems very failsafe and straightforward tho. but i wanna know for later, like installing drivers, unusual configs, system errors etc.. im sure will cause much worries at some point and if to stay i should also atleast know all the basic tools,syntax whre to find stuff etc.. mayb i just came a bit early, but nothing impotant to me tho i can 'rm -f' and main truoble being the re-installing now | 23:16 |

| mdfe | Bodsda_, I failed - I had a script that creates hidden files. I broke the script and blamed Nautlius instead of checking the script had actually worked | 23:17 |
| vi956925 | hoping to just push myself to learn much eventually by troubling thru all the problems that probably is to come:d seems so many kewl tools and things that many know of tho, thinking i missd some main things.. | 23:17 |
| Bodsda_ | mdfe: heh, fair enough | 23:17 |
| Hx2 | kvothetech: it is supposed to. | 23:17 |
| Hx2 | at least the shell extensions | 23:17 |
| vi956925 | so uh, guess ill just google around for some torrents of such books of top popularity that seems good. mayb push myself to read thru it all some time, and repeat that until i understand it eventually:d | 23:18 |

| vi956925 | thats how ya'll go into it.. very gradually ye, or clases IRL or such mostly..? | 23:18 |
| kvothetech | vi956925: bibliotik/bitme have a TON of linux stuff myanonamouse and rns have a bunch too. | 23:18 |
| dr_willis | vi956925: start with the basics like the Oreailly book 'using bash' then expand your knowledge from there. | 23:18 |
| Hx2 | kvothetech: exactly this: failed to load session "gnome-classic". THis was selected on GDM login screen. | 23:19 |
| Hx2 | kvothetech: which log file should contain the error? | 23:19 |
| vi956925 | yeah i know, and answer most of the time is jsut "man <command>" and its all there.. pff, so much things that are obscure/unusal and not needed and all, hoping to optimize my learning too and not spend too much reading stuff i wont use or such.. | 23:19 |
| kvothetech | Hx2: depends on your logging daemon but /var/log/messages /var/log/syslog and /var/log/X11 are pretty common | 23:20 |
| vi956925 | sooo much.. will be alot of problems and many years it seems, before it seems i can ever be as easy on throwing around solutions as some ppl in these chatrooms:d | 23:20 |
| dr_willis | vi956925: you will be learning stuff you MIGHT eventually use, or recall that it exists and may apply to whatever current problem you are faceing. | 23:21 |
| betrayd | vi956925: also give yourself some tasks that'd need scripting in between the reading | 23:21 |
| vi956925 | i havent even read the intro of it, the main official Ubuntu Manual, will it help much and provide lotta basics stil and somethig I really should read ? | 23:21 |
| dr_willis | vi956925: theres always a dozen ways to do a given task it seems | 23:21 |
| kvothetech | vi956925: a lot of the problems in here are just repeats of day after day...also check out linuxquestions.org and etc. | 23:21 |
| lazers | vi956925: You need to start somewhere. | 23:21 |
| dr_willis | the ubuntu manual should get you going with using the basics of the desktop.. theres more specifnc books out for other specific 'tools' | 23:22 |
| dr_willis | theres like 3 complete books on just 'samba' in the repos.. ;) | 23:22 |
| Bodsda_ | dr_willis: theres books in the repos? | 23:22 |
| dr_willis | !info samba-doc | 23:23 |

| kvothetech | dr_willis: i never did get that...sambas fairly self explanatory..and it generally is really only useful if you want to network with windows | 23:23 |
| vi956925 | yeah.. hopefully can get less dependant of help in many potential situations and get more out of it than truobling my way thru errors over time before learning it, will try find some nice compiled source of knowledge i focus on and play around some and expect some system failures the first time i gues:s | 23:23 |
| dr_willis | kvothetech: i read up to chapter 3... then that was all i needed to know.. ;) | 23:23 |
| Bodsda_ | dr_willis: cheers | 23:23 |
| lazers | vi956925: There are no perfect way to learn everything. Just start reading. Play with it. Poke around. Stuck? Come to #ubuntu. :) | 23:23 |
| dr_willis | kvothetech: im still not sure why its not covered in more details that a user can also have a seperate samba password.. ;) | 23:24 |
| kvothetech | dr_willis: it's obvious that's why :) | 23:24 |
| dr_willis | kvothetech: its a top 10 faq in here on samba every week,. | 23:24 |
| kvothetech | dr_willis: it's an implied of course you can set seperate pw's ...that'd be like saying 'you can have a seperate pw on a private key from the user' | 23:25 |
| vi956925 | just a command like, uh, i dont remember it now, it was like "list| some other command", it was a command that I got from some guy near here (irc) that removed duplicates from a textlists. small and rarely used thing, but really cool knowiing lil about these basic tools for data/system/network managemenet etc. too, things i otherwise woud search around for an own application to do, seems alot is already here just hidden to me thru this syntax i for | 23:25 |

| dr_willis | vi956925: find the book 'using bash' by oreially (i think) and it will give you a solid bash foundation of knowledge | 23:27 |
| K1lleD | how i can make that work in my ubuntu 12.04 | 23:27 |
| Nothing_Much | it's an hp thing | 23:28 |
| kvothetech | vi956925: pick a shell (personaly i prefer zsh) and do everything you can to learn about it...then add on top of that knowledge stuff about the core utils then go to other stuff | 23:28 |
| Nothing_Much | what's the model of your laptop k1lled? | 23:28 |
| Nothing_Much | K1lleD, what's the model number of your laptop? | 23:28 |
| vi956925 | atleast to avoid sneaky jerks who use such codes to say its a helpful tjhing and answer my questing, while actually being a complicated way and same as doing 'rm -rf', understanding to avoid and know what im doing too before i can feel safe of the reliablity and security of the whole system:s | 23:28 |

| dr_willis | what was the name of the remote control tools package.. not used it in years. | 23:29 |
| Bodsda_ | vi956925: just don't copy code from an untrusted source - this channel is fairly safe because if anyone recommends something malicious chances are we will spot it before you run it | 23:29 |

| falcon_ | hey guys, quick question about rsyslog for those that might be able toIs there a way to filter log data that gets sent over rsyslog based on regex or some form of string matching? answer. | 23:29 |
| vi956925 | "pick a shell", the profile/basics (colors and minor settings in the command prompt u mean?), wont the default in my current system's shell be fine (that i reach with ctrl+alt+t -- console) | 23:29 |
| benzrf | vi956925: that's your terminal | 23:29 |
| kvothetech | vi956925: there's multiple ways of doing most things in linux... | 23:30 |
| vi956925 | o.. | 23:30 |
| benzrf | bash is usually the default shell, though | 23:30 |
| K1lleD | dr_willis: in windows this work without driver, but bad. with driver work good | 23:30 |
| benzrf | a terminal [emulator] is the program that displays the text and sends your keystrokes | 23:30 |
| alvarezp | /var/log/Xorg.N.log doesn't show any crashes, so it may be GNOME... but I tried Unity and it crashes too. | 23:30 |
| K1lleD | but i stop use windows, and now i want to use this on linux | 23:30 |
| dr_willis | K1lleD: i imagine it has a driver in windows.... it was just installed by default. | 23:30 |
| benzrf | the shell is a program that can connect to a terminal and give you a prompt | 23:30 |
| kvothetech | vi956925: that's a terminal the terminal still has a default shell set in /etc/passwd...default is usually sh or bash depends on the distro but you can use whatever | 23:30 |
| Seven_Six_Two | alvarezp, check /var/log/Xorg.0.log | 23:30 |
| dr_willis | K1lleD: theres a general remote controll 'service' in linux. but i cant recall its name.. check the repos for 'remote' theres definition files for each kind of remote that it can handle | 23:31 |
| K1lleD | and .. have a chance to work in my ubuntu this? | 23:31 |
| K1lleD | i find a one program remote control | 23:31 |
| K1lleD | but..... dont work normally | 23:31 |
| vi956925 | hmh.. is that a good place to start learning then and somethign I'll benefit from and not just colors/useless thing.. "picking a shell" (?) | 23:31 |
| K1lleD | crash | 23:31 |
| Hx2 | gnome channel is very dead. | 23:31 |
| dr_willis | the remote i have not works as a keyboard ;) so i havent had to mess with other remotes in ages | 23:32 |
| Seven_Six_Two | alvarezp, what's the last thing in xorg log before crash? Keep in mind that log will rotate every time you restart xorg, so check the previous log after you login, or tty and check current log. | 23:32 |
| dr_willis | vi956925: find the book 'using bash' by oreially (i think) and it will give you a solid bash foundation of knowledge........ | 23:32 |
| benzrf | vi956925: bash is fine, you won't lose anything by learning it. I haven't used zsh myself, but I can attest that many people love it and that it has piles and piles of neat features. | 23:32 |
| kvothetech | vi956925: yes pick a shell and get familiar with it i like zsh because it to me automates some stuff bash doesn't and is more configurable but there's also dash,sh,tcsh,ksh, and others the onl one more or less GARANTUEED to be on any system is sh though. | 23:32 |
| benzrf | then again, you might just end up wasting time configuring it | 23:32 |
| benzrf | ;p | 23:32 |
| Seven_Six_Two | alvarezp, scratch that. if you're after the crash, x has already restarted, so don't check xorg.0.log, check the archived one. | 23:33 |
| alvarezp | Seven_Six_Two, no info on Xorg.0.log. No EE lines, no crash info, nothing. | 23:33 |
| benzrf | kvothetech: or is it??? ubuntu doesn't have sh by default! only dash | 23:33 |
| vi956925 | remember from long time ago, diff exploits in nix and ways to gain entry, hiding bad processes and methods of startup and actions etc.. some things I wanna know of soon to feel safer too, as seemd easy to do (i dno if really is tho, or remote access into my mostly default setup is likely..) , | 23:33 |
| alvarezp | Seven_Six_Two, yeah, I checked Xorg.1.log | 23:33 |
| alvarezp | Seven_Six_Two, nothing either. | 23:33 |
| Seven_Six_Two | what's the last thing in that log? | 23:33 |
| dr_willis | https://wiki.ubuntu.com/RemoteControls LIRC is the remote control package | 23:33 |
| MalcolmYoung | excuse me guys, how can I take a screenshot of my login screen? I have xubuntu 12.10 | 23:33 |
| alvarezp | Seven_Six_Two, [ 81126.432] reporting 8 12 17 133 | 23:33 |
| vi956925 | also instaling stuff thru apt-get, (like apache2/php), seems its placed itself as a service or somethign and start by itself! ill soon clog all my resources without knowing those things if i install mor:s | 23:33 |
| kvothetech | benzrf: really, then that's more or less a first...is it at least a sym link? | 23:33 |
| benzrf | yes kvothetech | 23:33 |
| alvarezp | Seven_Six_Two, and before that, [ 81126.219] (II) RADEON(0): Modeline "1680x1050"x0.0 119.00 1680 1728 1760 1840 1050 1053 1059 1080 +hsync -vsync (64.7 kHz e), which seems pretty normal to me. | 23:34 |
| catholic7 | kvothetech, local_root=/dev/sda5 | 23:34 |
| benzrf | MalcolmYoung: you could try ctrl-alt-f1, then use xwd or something | 23:34 |
| dr_willis | vi956925: dont install services you dont need.. and i would start with learning bash basics... | 23:34 |
| catholic7 | kvothetech, just add that anywhere? | 23:34 |
| dr_willis | bbl | 23:34 |
| kvothetech | catholic7: mount it somewhere you can't just point to the device file... | 23:34 |
| catholic7 | ahhh | 23:34 |
| kvothetech | i mean you can but it won't do what you likely want | 23:34 |
| Seven_Six_Two | alvarezp, ok, do alt+ctrl+F1 and login | 23:34 |
| vi956925 | yeah i hope to be able to manage that well, and feel safer with it. and thanks, will try target this bash thing as a start then! | 23:34 |
| benzrf | MalcolmYoung: ok: switch to ctrl-alt-f1, then use 'xwd -root | convert - foo.png', then alt-f7 | 23:35 |
| trocko | alvarezp, what about .xsession.errors | 23:35 |
| benzrf | then look for foo.png in your home dir | 23:35 |
| vi956925 | seems few security features, like iptables being empty (on other boxes i put in apf firewall (or somehting like that) with some easy (apparently) config methods and useful things, and was thinking i need a way to verify file integrity and all of system or some kind of anti-virus at some point! not sure if really needed,but, hmmm, ? | 23:35 |
| catholic7 | kvothetech, local_root=/media/Documents | 23:36 |
| catholic7 | kvothetech, so i did that, then i connect anonymous and still dont see it :( | 23:36 |
| kvothetech | vi956925: you don't really need antivirus on linux unless you are a complete idiot...verification md5/gpg keys are usually used... | 23:37 |
| benzrf | help! my laptop's trackpad/mouse works perfectly except that neither button clicks! Tapping works, though. I've tried restarting; didn't help. How can I find out whether this is a hardware or software issue? | 23:37 |
| benzrf | [repost] | 23:37 |
| vi956925 | to open ports what then, not iptable rules its auto-open when a proc try bind to it with the user? kinda bad unless u keep check of netstat or such incase of an attack some time? | 23:37 |
| kvothetech | vi956925: iptables is VERY powerful.....what're you trying to do with it | 23:37 |
| vi956925 | hmh.. oh nothing really atm, just thought that firewall seemd useful and possibly adding security | 23:37 |
| kvothetech | vi956925: iptables -A --dport "port to open" -j ACCEPT | 23:37 |
| alvarezp | trocko, where can you find that? .xsession.errors? | 23:38 |
| trocko | ~ | 23:38 |
| vi956925 | was pretty simply setup and management with a simple setup file for it. heard some reason i can remember why apf wasnt neeed or compatible wit ubuntu tho.something like that.. | 23:38 |
| kvothetech | vi956925: you probably also want a iptables -A -m --state ESTABLISHED,RELATED -j ACCEPT as well | 23:38 |
| vi956925 | yeah^ i even have lots of those iptables commands for diff things, (forwarding for vpn server/client setup, game/web/etc server etc) i truobled alot with before | 23:38 |
| vi956925 | hidden in some deep .txt files somwhere . | 23:39 |
| vi956925 | but for security too, better to still have the requirement of specifically allowing such ? | 23:39 |
| kvothetech | yes it's better to allow specifics than everything | 23:39 |
| vi956925 | i mean, maybe this ubuntu desktop doesnt have that for user friendyness and mostly not needed, tho something i still should and may wanna do (if nothign else just for playhinig around) ? | 23:39 |
| Seven_Six_Two | alvarezp, once you're at tty terminal, type watch "dmesg | tail -20" with the quotes. Then do alt+ctrl+F7 and login and cause crash. switch back to alt+ctrl+F1 and look at output. | 23:40 |
| kvothetech | vi956925: i'd make a vm to play around with if you can...but there's gui tools for iptables....i just don't use them so no idea what they're called | 23:40 |
| vi956925 | guess unlikely id get some random exploit or something where id need it but. besides as a home comp its nice to know for general server management/security, if theres something in it | 23:41 |
| vi956925 | k... uh, u mean like a vm of another identiical ubuntu on this ubuntu system? | 23:41 |
| mdfe | vi956925, i missed the question, but why do you think iptables will stop you getting malware? | 23:41 |
| vi956925 | i mean stuff like apf (a firewall) wondering if its any point to it, altho maybe mostly not ever, may be some additional security if I get it anyway? | 23:42 |
| vi956925 | stuff like hidden bindshell/exploits/rootkits etc seem risky, prolly shouldnt be worried but.. would feel safer with some antivirus or something:p | 23:42 |
| kvothetech | there's a rot of point to having a firewall...personaly i'd rather have an asa and iptables so most of it doesn't get to the system but ...iptables is very useful... | 23:43 |
| mdfe | vi956925, if you visit a site with your browser, you requested to go there, and the firewall will pass all their http traffic - it wont stop a browser exploit | 23:43 |
| Seven_Six_Two | vi956925, you don't have a router? | 23:43 |
| vi956925 | hoping to be able to follow and reckognize netstat/top or such data and notice if any differences to anything on the system at some point, if thats possible.. and possible to consider reliable (stats safe from tampering) | 23:43 |
| kvothetech | vi956925: i meant make like a kvm which lets you install whatever os you want insid your current one and you can reimage it whenever... | 23:43 |
| vi956925 | yes have a router, however have others in the network i shouldnt trust and also use this system for random stuff online. ive gotten viriis before thru browser exploits. who knows what the future brings:S | 23:44 |
| kvothetech | vi956925: tcpdump netstat top vmstat and etc are all great tools to find what's going on.. | 23:44 |
| kvothetech | vi956925: rkhunter etc can be useful if you suspect you have a rootkit. | 23:44 |
| vi956925 | also, even if just a tiny use and something i see good, could provide motivation to possibly mess around withs oemthing like that which i may learn something frmo too:p wont bother if worthless/bad or too much waste of resources tho.. | 23:45 |
| Seven_Six_Two | vi956925, you got a virus in Ubuntu? Impressive. If you're worried about others on your lan, perhaps a vlan would be useful to you. | 23:45 |
| vi956925 | just afraid its like windows and much is made mainly to be user-friendly that may benefit frmo changes, altho mostly or not needed for standard stuff.. | 23:45 |
| kvothetech | Seven_Six_Two: even if he got a virus assuming BASIC security it can't do anything stuck as his user other than mess up his user account | 23:46 |
| vi956925 | not virus but, if someone for example sent me some linux package with whatever for whatever reason, wouldnt know if it had some hidden function to copy itself somewhere hidden end enable its startup thru altering some obscure startup scripts or something.. i dno how it works, or if much to fear at all or how common such things are:s | 23:46 |
| mdfe | vi956925, once you allow that to run with sudo, it has root, a firewall can't stop that either | 23:47 |
| Seven_Six_Two | vi956925, don't install random packages. That solves your problem. | 23:47 |
| Soldats | lol | 23:47 |
| kvothetech | vi956925: check md5 sums/gpg keys of devs or if you're that worried look at the source yeurself | 23:47 |
| vi956925 | i remember some lil ddos bot in nix i played with in the past, put it in diff places in /etc/rc.local or smoewhere like that, and /etc/init.d some files there, wile it also hid as 'bash' and did some sneaky things. thats some simple and now old thing, probably much better and still kinda common things out there | 23:48 |
| vi956925 | (irc-bot) | 23:48 |
| Seven_Six_Two | vi956925, you can't install system wide without admin rights, so only the user account is at risk of getting what, a small % of the ~50 viruses for linux? | 23:48 |
| vi956925 | basically gave ya axx to root and gave u a lil backdoor thru its irc connection. easy to prevent with some basic things if being active | 23:48 |
| mdfe | Seven_Six_Two, well, in a desktop distro i will bet there are a lot of privildge escalation exploits | 23:49 |
| kvothetech | vi956925: ultimately reading the source code is the only SURE way to know...but generall enough people look and most dev's arent stupidenough to think nobody will ever notice..and when someone does...well down the hole they go | 23:49 |
| vi956925 | yeah.. hopefully ill know to use security well so that wnot be a problem, besides privilege escalation exploits and such atleast? | 23:49 |
| Seven_Six_Two | mdfe, sure, but most aren't from web drive-by | 23:49 |
| Hx2 | kvothetech: gkr-pam: unlocked login keyring . Means successfull login with gdm, right? | 23:49 |
| FroMaster | Anyone have an example of a bash script that edits (patches?) config files? I'm trying to build a post-install script to automate my virtual lab | 23:49 |
| Seven_Six_Two | mdfe, it was proofed at I think defcon | 23:49 |
| === BadLarry is now known as BadLarry_ | ||
| vi956925 | about that.. how important is it to security to update often? does it do the apt-get update all by itsel for security updates and i dont have to think of it with UBuntu desktop? | 23:50 |
| mdfe | vi956925, you can set it to atuomatically apply security updates, from the software updater | 23:50 |
| vi956925 | kvothetech: yeah.. i gues si need to find a way to be in full control of and actively monitor files and networking and get a regular idea of what to expect etc., if thats possible.. | 23:50 |
| vi956925 | what about even such monitor tools, guess somehow the feedback can be forged by malware too? duno but | 23:51 |
| kvothetech | vi956925: you can make it so it does but that's not always a good thing if you're that worried...you should really look at selinux, acl's, iptables, gpg, PAM, and things like rbash if you're worried aboutit | 23:51 |
| mdfe | apparmor on ubuntu i think not selinux | 23:51 |
| blenderman | I want to have one folder on a server that I can share, am I better using samba or openssh? | 23:51 |
| vi956925 | like ps/top and these system files, are they changable somehow or always correct no matter what.. | 23:51 |
| blenderman | which is more secure? | 23:51 |
| madfilipe1 | hi | 23:51 |
| dr_willis | vi956925: this is going to be a single user home users system? or you actially running a server exposed to the internet? | 23:51 |
| kvothetech | vi956925: though getting out of rbash is easy...and ps/top can be modified if someone has root.... | 23:52 |
| dr_willis | blenderman: you dont share samba over the internet.. you can use ssh to access files over the internet | 23:52 |
| madfilipe1 | hi | 23:52 |
| vi956925 | hm yeah maybe thats the big diff that keeps me safe, maybe just those servers being much more vuln... | 23:52 |
| Seven_Six_Two | dr_willis, I believe he said it's on a lan | 23:52 |
| vi956925 | but still, i dont trust the network here or even my isp or others inbetween, if any risc and just take lil time i could waste some time on that, just to learn if nothing else :p | 23:52 |
| kvothetech | dr_willis: i'd do it in a vpn if i had to do it remotely but that's just me. | 23:52 |
| dr_willis | blenderman: what clients you are going to be needing to share the files to will also be imporntant. ssh and sshfs make it nice and simple. samba can be a bit more complex to get going | 23:53 |
| blenderman | i want to do work on my server with vpn | 23:53 |
| === lwells is now known as netlar | ||
| Seven_Six_Two | vi956925, if you're paranoid, rent a vpn in another country | 23:53 |
| blenderman | but then i need a way to get the files that i save | 23:53 |
| madfilipe1 | oh | 23:53 |
| blenderman | to my laptop | 23:53 |
| mdfe | blenderman, there are a lot of home-cloud type things too now, that work like a private dropbox: i cant remember names | 23:53 |
| vi956925 | ill probably try eventually, altho i prolly wont ever need or have reason to fear. probably good to learn anyway, atleast assuming itll stay around and probably be more relevant as more ppl start using it.. i dno if likely to change or anything but | 23:53 |
| dr_willis | ssh and scp and sshfs are worth learning.. they are just sooo handy. | 23:54 |
| blenderman | can i openssh | 23:54 |
| blenderman | just one folder? | 23:54 |
| blenderman | without making everything available online | 23:54 |
| dr_willis | blenderman: sshfs lets you mount a remote server to a local directory | 23:54 |
| alvarezp | Seven_Six_Two, will crash now. I'm just checking the last dmesg messages. | 23:54 |
| roasted | Question - What is the difference between the function brightness keys versus the brightness slider found in system settings? Reason I ask is my function keys act strange (it'll dim in 1 press to 1% battery, but won't increase at all) however if I adjust the slider in system settings it works fine. | 23:54 |
| Seven_Six_Two | blenderman, when you use a vpn, you're normally assigned an ip on your home network (or connected subnet) and you can then ssh to your machine as if you were there. | 23:54 |
| dr_willis | nothing is going to be 'online' just accessable to the user doing the sshing. | 23:54 |
| kvothetech | vi956925: also if it's a server separate your services in vm's and etc | 23:54 |
| alvarezp | Seven_Six_Two, THE F*CK! It didn't crash! | 23:55 |
| kvothetech | mdfe: owncloud is a private dropbox | 23:55 |
| vi956925 | i do have chained encryped vpns in other's names that supposedly dont store logs, even considered another web proxy between as it seems openvpn easily allowed that, and only ever sending any data even over that over thru TOR, | 23:55 |
| Seven_Six_Two | I've used owncloud. it's not too bad. | 23:55 |
| dr_willis | vi956925: i think you are in the tin-foil hat paranoia area now.... | 23:55 |
| Seven_Six_Two | owncloud has iphone and android apps too | 23:55 |
| blenderman | ok so i'm using vpn and doing some work. i save the file | 23:56 |
| vi956925 | hoping some day I can setup my nix and router to by defauly funnel all traffic over those steps, and force use of TOR and such.. duno if possible or reasonable to assume will last forever, I dont thik so | 23:56 |
| blenderman | how do i get that file onto my laptop | 23:56 |
| blenderman | ? | 23:56 |
| Seven_Six_Two | blenderman, you should rent a bit of amazon S3 | 23:56 |
| kvothetech | vi956925: uhm vpn plus tor does'nt really provide much..you're actually making tor useless or damn near by doing that... | 23:56 |
| kvothetech | vi956925: you can already do that...look at ddwrt | 23:57 |
| kvothetech | vi956925: or you can use a full comp as a router if you want | 23:57 |
| dr_willis | blenderman: you can use scp, or sshfs to access the remote ssh server and move files to the other pc.. | 23:57 |
| Seven_Six_Two | vi956925, ok, who exactly is it that you are afraid of? everyone? your government? | 23:57 |
| kvothetech | blenderman: scp or whatever way you want | 23:57 |
| blenderman | is vnp better than rdp? | 23:57 |

| vi956925 | nah, I think theres good reason to stay safe. govt dont alawys do and shoud be expected to be reliable and well-meaning and truthful, far frmo imo! altho im no terrorist or such or really need it.. hoping to once make my permanent residence only within such encrypted closed networks like TOR, and as popularity increases other services, games/entertainment is made possible there, new protocols etc | 23:58 |
| kvothetech | blenderman: OH GOD rdp is so fucking unsecure..vpn isn't an rdp type thing though that's a vnc... | 23:58 |
| blenderman | ok vnc | 23:58 |
| blenderman | what's the most secure way to transfer my files? | 23:58 |
| blenderman | openssh? | 23:58 |
| dr_willis | blenderman: scp | 23:58 |
| kvothetech | blenderman: vnc is secure ocmpaced to rdp yes...though still not very secure...uhm i'd say vpn and scp...but that's just me... | 23:58 |
| dr_willis | blenderman: yes.. ssh + scp | 23:58 |
| vi956925 | nah im into neither, but as its going now and if to accept what is basically chains and slavery/total control, should also accept the same IRL (sattelites watching every step, and chips in us all ) | 23:59 |
| Seven_Six_Two | a vpn in an ssh tunnel over telnet. | 23:59 |
| mdfe | kvothetech, why you do say tor+vpn is a bad idea? Assuming the VPN provider doesn't give out information? | 23:59 |
| blenderman | you see i want to do work with blender 3d on a server because it has more power. So the safest way to do it remotely is vnc? | 23:59 |
