| Seven_Six_Two | mdfe, it's a tunnel in a tunnel. like double compressing. | 00:00 |
|---|---|---|
| vi956925 | watch googles privacy guidless they changed last year, now they connect ur accs to all u have thru all their means (ip, email, cookies etc). so even with lots of safeguards and different ids theyre taking more and more control | 00:00 |
| Ben64 | blenderman: vnc over ssh tunnel, but it'll be slow | 00:00 |
| kvothetech | mdfe: because the entire point of tor is to be anonymous...obviously if you tor to the vpn your vpn provider still knows it's you so it's pointless...you're taking tors usefulness out | 00:00 |
| kvothetech | vi956925: duckduckgo | 00:00 |
| mdfe | kvothetech, Seven_Six_Two but *others* dont; know you're using TOR then | 00:00 |
| blenderman | ok, does anyone have a straighforward tutorial that will illustrate exactly what i'm looking for? | 00:00 |
| kvothetech | mdfe: which makes tor..useless... | 00:00 |
| kvothetech | because they'll still see your vpn's ip ....and your vpn provider already knows who you are...so again...useless and waste of network resources | 00:01 |
| vi956925 | all these things, regulations laws etc. all the time.. either get somewhere "safe" from such control, or be honest about it and embrace,acknowledge and accept the slavery from the control in shaping our opinions with it | 00:01 |
| mdfe | kvothetech, what? so let's say TOR is illegal in your country, so you use a pay-VPN to bypass that. So now the local police can see you are using a pay vpn but not what you're sending | 00:01 |
| dr_willis | blenderman: in the simplest case you would 'ssh to the remote machine with x forwarding enabled' then run the gui app.. it would appear on the local desktop when you run it | 00:01 |
| Ben64 | mdfe: tor is illegal in the uk? | 00:01 |
| Seven_Six_Two | mdfe, but they can see where it's going, by ip | 00:02 |
| mdfe | kvothetech, and when you come out of the vpn, it's TOR'ed ... so only your VPN provider can know | 00:02 |
| Seven_Six_Two | oh yeah | 00:02 |
| mdfe | or is it not? | 00:02 |
| kvothetech | mdfe: maybe you should look up what tor is and what a vpn is they're two seperate things..and you make tor useless by vpning through it. | 00:02 |
| mdfe | still havent explained why | 00:02 |
| vi956925 | just see facebook walls.. just reading data frmo someones profile can easily use this in conflicts, seeing how they respond to situations and such, and use to control/manipulate, predict behavior/thougts etc.. thats just what is given out knowingly, and analyzed in tinies lvl by individuals. imagine all data we over the network analyzed by super-computers | 00:03 |
| Seven_Six_Two | mdfe, if you vpn through tor, the last node will always be the vpn provider | 00:03 |
| 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. | 00:03 |
| Ben64 | tor is slow, vpn is slow, its all slow, why would you want to do it | 00:03 |
| kvothetech | mdfe: because tor all it does is make you anonymous...the vpn removes that anonymity....so you're not anonymous. thus useless | 00:03 |
| Seven_Six_Two | I vpn to work on my server when I'm away from home. | 00:03 |
| dr_willis | vi956925: you are sort of rambling...... | 00:03 |
| kvothetech | Ben64: vpn isn't always slow... | 00:03 |
| vi956925 | eventually even tho we dnot know, are shaped into different pathes of development and what may not be good for diff reasons thru such means | 00:03 |
| kvothetech | Ben64: neither is tor depending how many nodes you go through where they are etc... | 00:04 |
| Ben64 | i tried it once, got 56k speeds | 00:04 |
| mdfe | kvothetech, what if you use a VPN provider that provides anonymity e.g. by not disclosing their cusromer records | 00:04 |
| kvothetech | mdfe: then why the $%^$%^ are you using tor with it that makes it triple redundant.... | 00:04 |
| blenderman | ok so if i were going to use blender remotely on my server, would i be better installing ubuntu server edition or just installing the ubuntu desktop and use vnc? | 00:04 |
| vi956925 | dr_willis ya may b.. im kinda wasted (drugs) and bn up ages, bad sate.. prolly some i dont notice too. prolly talk too much:d mayb ill try change fcus n do something else, just rambling random thoughts ye must wrong/stupid too hmh.d | 00:04 |
| mdfe | kvothetech, so that people don'tknow you're using TOR | 00:04 |
| dr_willis | blenderman: install locally you mean? or on the vpn? | 00:05 |
| mdfe | kvothetech, or becuase maybe your ISP blocks TOR | 00:05 |
| vi956925 | just.. seems somewhat likely and not all taht crazy stil I think..! | 00:05 |
| johnjohn101 | i asked this question yesterday but did not have time to follow up. it seems that my wifi is slow if i connect via network manager and if i connect via wicd it is noticeably faster. what do i need to check? i am on ubuntu 12.04. it was fast for a week or two after my new adapter now slow using network manager. | 00:05 |
| Seven_Six_Two | blenderman, is the server on your lan? | 00:05 |
| SIFTU | blenderman: vnc would suck controlling blender | 00:05 |
| Ben64 | blenderman: i don't think you'll like blender over vnc | 00:05 |
| dr_willis | blenderman: simplist case. you have ubuntu desktop locally. you ssh to the more powerfull server. and run the app.. it appears on the local desktop | 00:05 |
| kvothetech | mdfe: you're still not saying why you'd want tor and a vpn...if you have a vpn tor is useless...you'd have to stop the vpn to use it and gain anything. | 00:05 |
| SIFTU | blenderman: nomachine would be better | 00:05 |
| dr_willis | ssh+x forwarding i would hope would be faster then vncing the whole desktop | 00:05 |
| mdfe | kvothetech, how would you use TOR is your ISP blocked it? | 00:06 |
| Ben64 | dr_willis: nope, even slower | 00:06 |
| Seven_Six_Two | blenderman, if you're on a gigabit connection between server and desktop, connect to server with xdmcp and run blender that way. | 00:06 |
| mdfe | s/is/if | 00:06 |
| dr_willis | Ben64: single app vs the WHOLE desktop however.. | 00:06 |
| Ben64 | dr_willis: yeah, still way slower | 00:06 |
| vi956925 | exit | 00:06 |
| kvothetech | mdfe: i wouldn't use tor and a vpn ...that's my point...you could use tor...or a vpn ...using both is stupid...and read the tor mailing lists or just plain google it if you don't get why. | 00:06 |
| Seven_Six_Two | dr_willis, xdmcp I think would be faster because of no encryption | 00:06 |
| dr_willis | actually blender may have some server feature to do the work on a server.. and still run locally.. but i dont use blender in years | 00:06 |
| blenderman | ok can someone tell me how to x forward so i get just blender instead of the whole desktop? | 00:06 |
| Seven_Six_Two | ssh -X username@server-ip | 00:07 |
| kvothetech | blenderman: ssh -X | 00:07 |
| Ben64 | unless you have 100mbit to the server, it'll be mind blowingly slow | 00:07 |
| dr_willis | Seven_Six_Two: im not even sure if lightdm has xdmcp enabled any more... | 00:07 |
| Seven_Six_Two | dr_willis, it's not enabled by default, but can be with one addition to the config file. | 00:08 |
| dr_willis | guess the best would be to run blender locally and somehow offload the main rendering to the server. | 00:08 |
| dr_willis | Seven_Six_Two: i recall a year or so ago.. it dident have the feature compiled in.. but that was some time ago. | 00:08 |
| Ben64 | took about 30 seconds for me to open "xterm" from my server over x forwarding | 00:08 |
| Ben64 | server is 100mbit, and i have 30mbit here | 00:09 |
| Seven_Six_Two | Ben64, 10mbit lan? | 00:09 |
| Ben64 | over the internets | 00:09 |
| blenderman | if i install ubuntu server on my server will it be that much faster than if i just install the desktop edition and open it up with ssh? | 00:09 |
| Ben64 | blenderman: where is the server | 00:09 |
| mdfe | kvothetech, i am happy that i understand the issue; maybe you can find me some links | 00:09 |
| Seven_Six_Two | server has 100mbit upload? | 00:10 |
| Ben64 | Seven_Six_Two: yep | 00:10 |
| Seven_Six_Two | Ben64, is that for home service? | 00:10 |
| Ben64 | Seven_Six_Two: what? its a server | 00:10 |
| kvothetech | mdfe: there was a discussion in the mailing lists a few days ago for tor about it. i'll find them in a bit. | 00:10 |
| blenderman | yeah its for my home | 00:11 |
| blenderman | i'd really appreciate it if someone gave me a tutorial about setting up a secure home server | 00:11 |
| Seven_Six_Two | Ben64, yeah. The upload speed isn't involved in defining a server. I have a server in the next room, and I can only upload at 70KB/s | 00:11 |
| kvothetech | blenderman: server will be faster without x running as long as youaren't using that processing power for anything else otherwise it wont be noticable hough imho it's not a server if it has a gui on it. | 00:11 |
| Ben64 | blenderman: if the server is in your house then just install desktop version and use blender there | 00:11 |
| Seven_Six_Two | Ben64, real server machine, real website. | 00:11 |
| Ben64 | Seven_Six_Two: nah, real servers are in a datacenter | 00:12 |
| mdfe | kvothetech, TOR docs on VPN with TOR: https://trac.torproject.org/projects/tor/wiki/doc/TorPlusVPN | 00:12 |
| InFlames | i moved my ubuntu hd from my pc to my mac, and now grub doesn't recognize it, anyone know where i can read up on this? | 00:15 |
| kvothetech | InFlames: probably a different dev device/hd order | 00:15 |
| InFlames | so edit grub? | 00:15 |
| lousygarua | I'm helping someone with a really old laptop with an Intel graphics card and Lubuntu. He installed the system and after the first reboot the graphics on the login screen are all torn apart. Didn't find any specific hardware help in Google so I ask how to debug this issue? | 00:15 |
| kvothetech | lousygarua: is it using vesa? | 00:16 |
| Seven_Six_Two | Ben64, I just tried opening xterm over ssh and it took less than a second. With your speeds, it shouldn't take that long unless there's congestion somewhere. | 00:16 |
| Ben64 | !nomodeset | lousygarua | 00:16 |
| ubottu | lousygarua: 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 | 00:16 |
| Ben64 | Seven_Six_Two: but its in your house | 00:16 |
| lousygarua | Ben64, the installer ran fine so i'm not sure if it's nomodeset | 00:17 |
| lousygarua | kvothetech, I don' | 00:17 |
| Ben64 | its almost always nomodeset | 00:17 |
| lousygarua | kvothetech, I don't know. It's the default installation and the first run of Lubuntu | 00:17 |
| mdfe | lag on remote terminal is funny, it reminds me of the old dialup days at 1200/75 or 300 baud | 00:17 |
| Seven_Six_Two | running xterm over ssh tunnel is funny. | 00:18 |
| lousygarua | Ben64, OK, I'll tell him to try. But if it was the issue wouldn't he need to use nomodeset on the installer too? Or the live USB runs with a different set of drivers? | 00:18 |
| kvothetech | Seven_Six_Two: and a bit pointless since xterm doesnt' give you anything a normal terminal doesnt | 00:18 |
| kvothetech | lousygarua: livecd's run with pretty much any driver under the sun installed as a default then when you install it picks what you need...building a kernel with everyhing in it you don't need is a bit useless afterall obviously sometimes it gets it wrong and nomodeset is pretty common for the older intel gpus | 00:20 |
| mdfe | the sacrifices we make for a second of boot time and an inconsequenial amount of memory | 00:21 |
| CajunLanMan | Does anyone have any quick recommendations on good places to start for learning commandline? For some reason I'm struggling to find a good starting point. | 00:21 |
| Ben64 | !manual | CajunLanMan | 00:21 |
| lousygarua | kvothetech, but if the kernel on the livecd ran fine without 'nomodeset' then the regular installed kernel should run fine without it as well, no? I'm just being curious. My friend is not available to check this at the moment | 00:21 |
| ubottu | CajunLanMan: The Ubuntu Manual will help you become familiar with everyday tasks such as surfing the web, listening to music and scanning documents. With an emphasis on easy to follow instructions, it is suitable for all levels of experience. http://ubuntu-manual.org/ | 00:21 |
| Jeruvy | CajunLanMan you could try the bash manual also. | 00:21 |
| platzhirsch | What is /dev/mapper/ubuntu--vg-root ? weird name | 00:22 |
| mdfe | lousygarua, liveCD has a different set of kernel module and options - they are setup for compatibility not performance | 00:22 |
| CajunLanMan | Ben64, Thanks! | 00:22 |
| kvothetech | CajunLanMan: depends on your shell and what you plan on doing with it ...man pages info pages as well as tldp and orielly are pretty good resiources | 00:22 |
| CajunLanMan | Jeruvy, would most of that apply to Ubuntu? | 00:22 |
| mdfe | CajunLanMan, yes bash is the default terminal | 00:22 |
| Seven_Six_Two | CajunLanMan, Linux Administration Handbook, and Linux in a Nutshell. | 00:23 |
| kvothetech | platzhirsch: an lvm partition looks like your / partition from the name of it | 00:23 |
| mdfe | and learn vin | 00:23 |
| mdfe | vim* | 00:23 |
| vi956925 | sorry for all my spammy nonsense if just stupid,i left but just rememberd i didnt solve what i first came for (lol:S), and tried on my own solving what bothered me being opening any folder it didnt list content but just seemed to load forever. I checked 'top' saw compiz took 14% cpu while i was idle so tried 'killall compiz'.. ya stupid, was locked out n had to reset/poweroff.. as I failed to see other ways to locate the bad process (if i | 00:23 |
| zphinx | Hello people, im currently sitting in the middle of a 13.10 amd64 install.. and for some reason the ubuntu partitioning program isnt seeing my windows partition on sda at all, its listed as partitionless and with 1tb of free space.. anyone know why this might be? | 00:23 |
| platzhirsch | kvothetech: ah that's new. Thanks a lot | 00:23 |
| Seven_Six_Two | vi956925, do you know what compiz is? | 00:23 |
| Ben64 | zphinx: 13.10 in #ubuntu+1 until release | 00:23 |
| zphinx | alright | 00:24 |
| CajunLanMan | kvothetech, I have decided it was time to have a home server, and at the last minute I decided to ditch w2k8 and try ubuntu 12.04. I'd like to be able to administer it via terminal. | 00:24 |
| CajunLanMan | mdfe, thanks. | 00:24 |
| kvothetech | platzhirsch: check where it's mounted with just mount or check your fstab/mtab files... | 00:24 |
| vi956925 | not really, besides related to my whole desktop management or something as it all became unavailable after killing:s should probably googled around but , hmh atleast i know that eh | 00:24 |
| kvothetech | CajunLanMan: what services were you running on the server...might help us give better dircetion | 00:24 |
| platzhirsch | kvothetech: it's mounted on root / | 00:24 |
| CajunLanMan | Seven_Six_Two, I'm going to start with the free options, though I'd like a good book as well. Thanks. | 00:25 |
| kvothetech | Seven_Six_Two: compiz died like 5 years ago i thought... | 00:25 |
| vi956925 | soo.. as that was not the solution, what else could I look for, or could it be other thing? I dno if 14% usage while near idle is normal, mayb its still related. what then, if its something within but i cant kill.. any settings i could mess with safely or something.. | 00:25 |
| Seven_Six_Two | kvothetech, afaik it was integrated, not killed. | 00:25 |
| mdfe | CajunLanMan, you dont really need to buy books on Linux, it's one of the differences between open source you'll discover. | 00:25 |
| SIFTU | kvothetech: how did your 32 bit vs 64 bit memory consumption test go? | 00:25 |
| vi956925 | also how safe for the system's health is it to just pull the plug? can system files corrupt so boot fails or something? risk loss of files i thoguht i recently saved, or how bad? | 00:26 |
| dr_willis | vi956925: j just pulling the power is not a good idea.. | 00:26 |
| kvothetech | SIFTU: ended up with 10MB less on the 32 bit when i was done...not much at all... | 00:26 |
| Seven_Six_Two | vi956925, well, don't. But if you're using ext3 or ext4 you'll probably be fine as they're journaling filesystems. | 00:26 |
| CajunLanMan | kvothetech, I'm using it for a file server, minecraft server (for my son, I swear) Crashplan for backup. | 00:26 |
| mdfe | kvothetech, really so little difference?wow. how much was used in total? | 00:27 |
| vi956925 | yeah.. after killing compiz my desktop was gone and terminal ctrl+alt+t didnt respond so didnt think of nemore and was impatient:| | 00:27 |
| zphinx | Ben64: oops, was 13.04.. does this apply to this channel then? | 00:27 |
| dr_willis | vi956925: you can always ssh in and use the shutdown command | 00:27 |
| CajunLanMan | mdfe, That's what's attracting me to Linux. | 00:27 |
| mdfe | CajunLanMan, read the ubuntu server guide (google has it) in the ubuntu wiki | 00:27 |
| Seven_Six_Two | vi956925, compiz is your desktop compositor. If you want to stop it, you have to start something to replace it, like metacity. | 00:27 |
| vi956925 | stupidly i didn ttry taht tty thing as suggested here earler.. was it ctrl+alt+7/1 or something like that.. dno if thatd work? any way to recover at all? anyway will try avoid killing it so hopefulyl wont neeed.. this hanging thing may happen again tho, if related to compiz wanna finda way to fix if poss hm | 00:28 |
| kvothetech | mdfe: about 3GB each...i was running a bunch of random useless stuff to make them active | 00:28 |
| mdfe | CajunLanMan, https://help.ubuntu.com/12.10/serverguide/ | 00:28 |
| SIFTU | kvothetech: my test was 60Mb vs 90Mb | 00:28 |
| mdfe | kvothetech, 10MB difference in 3GB? That's really surprising. Thanks for the info. | 00:28 |
| CajunLanMan | mdfe, got it. thanks! | 00:28 |
| zphinx | Hello people, im currently sitting in the middle of a 13.04 amd64 install.. and for some reason the ubuntu partitioning program isnt seeing my windows partition on sda at all, its listed as partitionless and with 1tb of free space.. anyone know why this might be? I am currently in the livecd enviroment.. and it sees the partition fine. | 00:28 |
| dr_willis | vi956925: biggest danger to a ubuntu system - is the end user doing somthing silly.. from what ive seen in here. | 00:28 |
| Seven_Six_Two | vi956925, you can run ubuntu 2d and you won't use compiz | 00:28 |
| vi956925 | Seven_six_two oh.. k. do you think Compiz sounds likely to be related to an issue of folders failiing to list content,seeming to load forever? maybe related to other apps (firefox and multiget) somehow, not all sure what/how/when.. | 00:29 |
| mdfe | does raring have ubuntu 2d? | 00:29 |
| dr_willis | 13.04 does not have Unity2d | 00:29 |
| vi956925 | and if so, how if at all possible to change/or safely mess with compiz then, if i can try fix it? only other option when it happens is rebooting | 00:29 |
| Seven_Six_Two | vi956925, it could be, if it's because of thumbnail generation. | 00:29 |
| Seven_Six_Two | does raring have metacity? | 00:30 |
| kvothetech | SIFTU: maybe theres a huge difference if you didn't actually run anything in it.... | 00:30 |
| Seven_Six_Two | vi956925, you could install and use xfce4. That's what I use. | 00:30 |
| vi956925 | oh hm that may be actually.. well, one of the subfolders prolly had unusuual ones (movie file preview thumbnais i think! mayb something weird with a file..) , but those were in a subfolder, any folder was like that | 00:30 |
| dr_willis | Lubuntu is the lightest full featured desktop. but its a bit minimal for some people | 00:30 |
| SIFTU | kvothetech: I booted crunchbang | 00:30 |
| === Adys_ is now known as Adys | ||
| Henry151 | dr_willis: don't know if you remember my predicaments from last night, but I've resolved them, I think. Just waiting for dd to finish and we'll see. I figured out how to point the iso maker to the syslinux boot files and remade the iso, and now it's dd'ing to the usb key. | 00:31 |
| vi956925 | bit before firefox had just crashd (lost all on it), and later it got stuck and lockd everythign and all programs until i finally killed firefox :s (had open hundreds of tabs each prolly with buncha scripts etc, while messing with download manager multieget) | 00:31 |
| dr_willis | Henry151: you could have tested the iso in virtualbox first ;) | 00:31 |
| vi956925 | ^gues thats related hmh | 00:31 |
| Henry151 | dr_willis: I've never really played with virtualbox | 00:32 |
| vi956925 | prolly happens again tho, hopefully ill get all stuff saved and do safe reboot then if i dont find solution atleat.. i dno | 00:32 |
| Seven_Six_Two | vi956925, how much ram do you have? | 00:32 |
| vi956925 | 4gb | 00:32 |
| dr_willis | Henry151: its very handy for playing with live cds | 00:32 |
| kvothetech | SIFTU: arch copy? lol i like arch but the offshoots are a bit odd to me they really don't ever seem to do anythinrg arch does'nt let you do as it is. | 00:32 |
| vi956925 | but actually may be the reason, as I rememebr running outta ram on windows opening many tabs atelast.. didnt see or know if id get any warning, nor did i check resource usage so mayb.. (was alot of brwoser tabs!) | 00:32 |
| SIFTU | kvothetech: not archbang | 00:33 |
| vi956925 | if so then, anything i can do, or know to limit my ram usage before it goes critical? | 00:33 |
| dijonyummy | im on 12.04, just installed kde but the graphics is horribly slow, for some reason. how to fix it | 00:33 |
| dr_willis | vi956925: dont open hundreeds of browser tabs.... | 00:33 |
| Jeruvy | CajunLanMan sorry was afk, yes it would. Bash is the default shell. | 00:33 |
| kvothetech | SIFTU: i was using a kvm of scientificlinux 6.4 32 and 64 bit with mysql postfix dovecot apache nginx and etc all running....and actively being hit hard by the host | 00:33 |
| Henry151 | dr_willis: even if this all fails, it was educational, and I currently am experiencing nearly 4MB/second download speeds, so I could just re-download the big original ISO now and start over. Which btw is faster than dd's copying speed at the moment. | 00:33 |
| zphinx | Hello people, im currently sitting in the middle of a 13.04 amd64 install.. and for some reason the ubuntu partitioning program isnt seeing my windows partition on sda at all, its listed as partitionless and with 1tb of free space.. anyone know why this might be? I am currently in the livecd enviroment.. and it sees the partition fine. | 00:33 |
| dr_willis | Henry151: you did use the bs=4M opttion to dd? | 00:34 |
| Seven_Six_Two | vi956925, ulimit | 00:34 |
| vi956925 | windows used to complain about "not enough memory" at 500-something tabs atleast, and refusing any other actions forcing killing browser:s prolly something similar weird issue just wider consequences and maybe firefox missing a safeguard or smoethign i dno, | 00:34 |
| Ari-Yang | @ dijonyummy maybe you should ask on #kde ? | 00:34 |
| vi956925 | theres no way it can cause dmg to system atleast tho? (system files i mean, just temporary?) | 00:34 |
| mdfe | WHY do you have 500 browser tabs? | 00:34 |
| kvothetech | zphinx: you can format it from the livecd and install from there...fdisk or cfdisk or parted if you have guid | 00:34 |
| vi956925 | oh, just change ulimit ?? or what do you mean | 00:35 |
| mdfe | No wait, don't tell me. I don't want to know. | 00:35 |
| Henry151 | dr_willis: bs=3MB ; 3.2mb/s | 00:35 |
| vi956925 | mdfe: uh, i didnt plan to.. browsing porn finding vids i wanna dl, suddenly loada tabs open and i spent time findingeach so dont wanna just close it | 00:35 |
| dr_willis | Henry151: ok ) at least you dident let it use the defaults... | 00:35 |
| kvothetech | mdfe: because he's an idiot and doesn't want o close any of them....theres no way anyone can USEFULLY have 500 tabs. | 00:35 |
| Seven_Six_Two | vi956925, I don't know the exact command, sorry. it's in the man page | 00:35 |
| zphinx | kvothetech: does it matter that its gpt and not mbr_ | 00:35 |
| vi956925 | stupid sit has "reccomended" ads below leading further n furhter,dint think wel (bad sate of mind,tired etc) n sudednly happend (too much), and all lots :d | 00:35 |
| vi956925 | lost* | 00:35 |
| dr_willis | vi956925: sounds like you need to use some of those adblock extensions for your browert | 00:36 |
| kvothetech | zphinx: then use parted not fdisk/cfdisk parted lets you gpt | 00:36 |
| Henry151 | dr_willis: I tried the defaults first but it was 1.2/1.5mb/s and so I googled why is dd so slow | 00:36 |
| vi956925 | k.. but thanks alot then, Ill just edit my ulimit then (or.. somehting liek that, Ive used that commaondbefore i think:d) , and will see if hapepns again. | 00:36 |
| vi956925 | any bad things about editing ulimit, and what should i set it to? | 00:36 |
| dr_willis | Henry151: yea. just dont go overboard and try like bs=1gb ;) | 00:36 |
| kvothetech | dr_willis: blocks of 1gb ...damn what're you writing petabytes? | 00:37 |
| === |_ocke2 is now known as |_ocke | ||
| mdfe | vi956925, if you have more than 20 tabs up, something is probably wrong | 00:37 |
| dr_willis | kvothetech: saw someone trying that in here one day.... | 00:37 |
| Seven_Six_Two | vi956925, I just read that the "timeout" script, available on github, works better than setting ulimit. | 00:37 |
| zphinx | kvothetech: will the actual installer still see the partitions then? the whole disk is showing up as free space enough though there is a 500 gig windows partition on it? | 00:37 |
| vi956925 | owell sry wont bother ya gues si talk too muc and bit weird atm:S will try taht then, incase i need... hopefully it may fix it, evn for other things. bad when losing control of system and losing like that:s | 00:37 |
| dr_willis | kvothetech: i never ntoiced any gains going higher then 4mb | 00:37 |
| vi956925 | seven_six_two oh, what timeout script? | 00:37 |
| Henry151 | kvothetech: only writing 3.7GB actually :) | 00:37 |
| sarge1221 | is there a distro of linux that comes with clamAV preinstalled? | 00:37 |
| Udms | no | 00:38 |
| Seven_Six_Two | https://github.com/pshved/timeout | 00:38 |
| sarge1221 | there should be | 00:38 |
| ReAzem | Worth it going with LVM? I am using a raid array so everything shows up as one single partition, should I bother? | 00:38 |
| vi956925 | sry im big newb to all,not sure what ure talkin about tho it may be obvious to most | 00:38 |
| Udms | i dont think so | 00:38 |
| kvothetech | dr_willis: you can gain at about 8-16MB if you have your fs set to higher blocks and it's a 6-700gb file | 00:38 |
| Udms | never mind | 00:38 |
| dr_willis | sarge1221: the clamav homepage might have a preinstalled one. i recall some other av makers having their own live cds also | 00:38 |
| vi956925 | k thx.. will check that out then, and try that instead then if u think its better | 00:38 |
| sarge1221 | Udms, I think there should be on the grounds that common sense says it shouldn't take two days to haggle with a virus scanner program to scan one potentially infected file from my windows computer. >_> | 00:39 |
| kvothetech | zphinx: idk..i usually debootstrap my ubuntu installs... | 00:39 |
| Henry151 | well the moment of truth is upon us, the dd is finished. Wish me luck ladies and gentlemen, Debian here I come. Goodbye Ubuntu People. | 00:39 |
| dr_willis | vi956925: use adblock and one of those 'dont auto play flash' extensions... saves a lot of hassles i fine. | 00:39 |
| Seven_Six_Two | Good luck Henry151 | 00:39 |
| kvothetech | zphinx: so i kind of take the silly installer out of it. | 00:39 |
| vi956925 | firefox should have some thing implemented, not allowing to go that far if the result is crash losing all, or locking everything and messing up system (needing reoot atleast) | 00:39 |
| kvothetech | vi956925: why would you use ff as root..it does..it's called being run as user so all it can mess up is your user account | 00:40 |
| vi956925 | dr_willis i do, and many other addons (noscript aswell, and others for specifically allowing javascript,flash,java,cookies etc. when I need them, and I do, just had enabled all for that site as was required for the media content:/ | 00:40 |
| Seven_Six_Two | dr_willis, I only blacklist ads or sites when they're particularly annoying. | 00:40 |
| Udms | can i make an operating system in ubuntu? | 00:40 |
| vi956925 | i think flash is bad tho, on windows i had same problem with browser, and was spammed with flash errors related to the memory problems i think.. prolly similar thing.. | 00:40 |
| dr_willis | Seven_Six_Two: ;) and on some sites.. they are 90% ads... heh | 00:40 |
| vi956925 | sucking up lotta resources while i dont eve use it i mean, all those tabs.. | 00:41 |
| zphinx | alright, i just figured out the problem i think kvothetech | 00:41 |
| Seven_Six_Two | that's true, but I have google ads on my site to try to get paid. I get about $0.01/day | 00:41 |
| SIFTU | kvothetech: http://imgur.com/sJRRvJP | 00:41 |
| kvothetech | vi956925: flash is the worst product ever..i've got no idea why any dev's still use it for anything adobe themselves admitted it was horrible and that they were going to stop working on it...that asside html5 does everything flash can do that you'd want. | 00:41 |
| zphinx | no fake msdos table on my gpt table | 00:41 |
| zphinx | fixparts /dev/sda fixed it | 00:42 |
| vi956925 | yeah cool, heard bad about it too, and was some of my motivation for putting effort into learning to use these addons to enable/disable things as i need them. have everythign disabled by default mostly now, tiny inconvenence of enabling as needed worth it i think. also hoping may add to security | 00:42 |
| kvothetech | zphinx: nice | 00:43 |
| Henry151 | well that was anticlimactic. | 00:43 |
| vi956925 | are there any threats by browsing the web on linux? i guess so, some malicious code to fear ? | 00:43 |
| goddard | can i disable ubuntu one ? | 00:43 |
| goddard | so it doesn't run | 00:43 |
| Henry151 | all i got was a little blinking underscore. | 00:44 |
| dr_willis | vi956925: i havent heard of any in the last few months. | 00:44 |
| Seven_Six_Two | goddard, in startup services | 00:44 |
| zphinx | vi956925: java, plenty of payloads around for linux via java exploits. | 00:44 |
| dr_willis | !nomodeset | Henry151 | 00:44 |
| ubottu | Henry151: 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 | 00:44 |
| WilliamPaul_ | Well, you've still gotta give props to Flash, as it has made the web display video content for some time. I too want HTML5 to be king, but it is taking forever. | 00:44 |
| vi956925 | cool.. but unless surely impossible, probably better not risk. probably better to be more in control of such content for other reasons too | 00:44 |
| dr_willis | Henry151: i would teest the iso in vbox also.. to show if the iso is in fact good. | 00:45 |
| goddard | Seven_Six_Two: where can i edit that? | 00:45 |
| dr_willis | Henry151: or on a difernt pc | 00:45 |
| mdfe | goddard, get the unity tweak tool from the ubuntu software centre and you can edit that graphically | 00:46 |
| 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. | 00:46 |
| Fateen | i have a 1080p screen but my VirtualBox ubuntu 13.04 only shows 800x600 and 1024x768 | 00:46 |
| Fateen | how do i add new resolutions to list? | 00:47 |
| sarge1221 | dr_willis, I found this but can't find a download link. https://launchpad.net/clamav-livecd | 00:47 |
| dr_willis | roasted: sounds like the fn keys are not working right. | 00:47 |
| mdfe | Fateen, install guest addons: see vbox docs | 00:47 |
| dr_willis | Fateen: you did install the vbox guest addations? | 00:47 |
| roasted | dr_willis: right. | 00:47 |
| Ari-Yang | I really need to install lib32asound2, lib32z1, ia32-libs to install teamviewer on ubuntu? (12.10) | 00:47 |
| dr_willis | sarge1221: ive not used clamav in ages.. so no idea. You could make a live-usb with the latest clamav and updates.. | 00:47 |
| roasted | dr_willis: but what's the difference between the function keys and the brightness slider? How does one work and the other not? | 00:47 |
| Fateen | ok mdfe / dr_willis thx | 00:47 |
| Ben64 | Ari-Yang: teamviewer uses wine... so yeah | 00:48 |
| Seven_Six_Two | goddard, I use an xfce applet to change it. | 00:48 |
| dr_willis | roasted: no idea. not somthing ive really looked into. | 00:48 |
| mdfe | roasted, i suspect ubuntu is missing the drivers to correctly interface with the fn keys | 00:48 |
| mdfe | roasted, those fn keys are unique to rach laptop etc | 00:48 |
| dr_willis | or the fn keys are miss-mapped. | 00:49 |
| dr_willis | its smazing how mich variantion there is in these special fn features on laptops | 00:49 |
| mdfe | Yea, mine has a button to secure erase the SSD | 00:49 |
| dr_willis | roasted: at least your slider works.. ;) | 00:49 |
| sarge1221 | dr_willis if I can just get the correct folder paths for clamd.conf and freshclam.conf I could fix it. Know any channels that could maybe help and don't suggest #clamav those people are beyond useless. | 00:49 |
| roasted | dr_willis: when I hit the fn brightness keys I get the popup indicating it wants to change the brightness, though. So it's like the system recognizes the correct function for that function key but doesn't execute it. | 00:49 |
| roasted | dr_willis: does yours not? | 00:49 |
| vi956925 | Dash Home seems to be very quick in fetching search results or something.. Im big newb to nix mayb wrong but, atleast in Win I rememeber SearchIndexer with similar feature, i guess that is constantly crawling (searching) the disc at times, and sucking significant resources accordingly and would rather wait or search other ways... same here, are there a indexing-robot sucking resources that may be disable-able, or just some kinda cache or d | 00:50 |
| kvothetech | mdfe: sounds like an odd button | 00:50 |
| roasted | dr_willis: I understood that the slider was software controlled, whereas function keys are kernel controlled. It gave me the impression that the software layer was more compatible with systems (pending all of this is true) | 00:50 |
| dr_willis | roasted: ive not used ubuntu on a laptop in ages.. and i only have 2 netbooks | 00:50 |
| sam___ | Does 13.04 have an efi certificate? | 00:50 |
| Henry151 | dr_willis: when I examine the usb stick using gparted it says the entire thing is unallocated.. is that a clue of some sort as to where i went wrong? | 00:51 |
| lousygarua | Now I'm helping some other guy who messed up his system. Guest login works fine. Regular user login shows black screens and after a few moments the login screen shows again. He did something with dpkg-reconfigure xserver-xorg. | 00:51 |
| dr_willis | Henry151: if you dd'd the iso file to it... it would look like a cdrom. so gparted may be confused | 00:51 |
| vi956925 | i win ts what i did shortly after intsalling the OS, and many other things..turning off stuff like searchindexer and other things, trying to max avialable rsources (tho not much) as wnot use that. or just updatedb/locate in terminal then i gues.. mayb im wrong/missing something tho, but the results seemd too (near instant) to go thru files now | 00:51 |
| dr_willis | Henry151: try file /dev/sdX perhaps? or try mounting the usb? | 00:52 |
| dr_willis | Henry151: or 'sudo blkid' | 00:52 |
| sam___ | Does 13.04 have an efi certificate? | 00:52 |
| vi956925 | actually, could it be better (or even possible) to start with a smaller ubuntu/nix, like server/minimal thing and installnig just desktop and things as i need them? assume alot i wont need, like win focusing on user-friendlyness instead.. mayb alot of useful tho, but interesting to know atleast.. | 00:52 |
| mdfe | lousygarua, does the package manager log show what he did? | 00:52 |
| dr_willis | vi956925: you dont even know what you will be needing however.. so is it worth the effort. | 00:53 |
| Fateen | ok mdfe / dr_willis , i installed the guest addons and rebooted the Virutal OS, but i still dont see any new resoltuions in list. what am i missing? | 00:53 |
| vi956925 | the music player for example, i bet alot similar to that included by default ill never evr use, maybe tiny things tho i dno | 00:53 |
| lousygarua | mdfe, I don't have the logs, I'm answering on our LoCo forums so I'm not physically next to the users' computers. | 00:53 |
| dr_willis | Fateen: on vbox here.. i dont even recall needing to change the res at all.. but im running lubuntu in vbox on windows... | 00:54 |
| mdfe | Fateen, you should be seeing it | 00:54 |
| vi956925 | well could just "apt-get install *" (if possible) or just alot xtras etc too then, just incase:d ive thought of it too, but resources may be needed some time, like when trying to squeeze out every bit for game performance or such mayb | 00:54 |
| mdfe | Fateen, if oyu resize the host window and then use the host's menu to resize the guest, what happens? | 00:54 |
| mdfe | Fateen, the guest is it's probably reading the screen size from the size of the host's window | 00:55 |
| dr_willis | i was thinking my desktop - auto resized to match the windows size of the vbox window | 00:55 |
| somsip | vi956925: yes - just install minimal and add on what you want. There will still be dependencies oulled in you may not feel necessary (X pulls in a load of video drivers for example) but you will have much less cruft | 00:55 |
| lousygarua | Maybe there's a way to reset the x session settings to default? | 00:55 |
| alvarezp | Seven_Six_Two, guess what, last time I tried crashing the PC I quit pinpoint after the first slide rendered and it didn't crash. But if I do it *during* the transition animation it crashed my entire system. I needed a cold reboot. | 00:55 |
| vi956925 | mayb tiny, hopefully very insignificant then! just remembered on windows.. id spend more time changing stuff and fixing such, than the install of the os itself took:s (ilke disabling the by default weekly scheduled defrad, search indexer, stopping animations/aero etc.. etc..) | 00:55 |
| mdfe | lousygarua, not that i know of but you can try reinstalling the packages that cover it. | 00:55 |
| sam___ | Does 13.04 have an efi certificate? | 00:55 |
| alvarezp | Seven_Six_Two, (my PC was weirdly crashing X on exiting pinpoint) | 00:56 |
| vi956925 | somsip: cool.. may try that some time then. probably useful in learning how to mess aruond with the system too, and maybe give me some improvement some time if i can get it all working well like that then | 00:56 |
| dr_willis | vi956925: spend more time using the OS. and less time worrying about the OS... | 00:56 |
| vi956925 | yeah i guess:d | 00:56 |
| Fateen | mdfe, it adds one 640x480 resolution if i resize the window. but no bigger resoltuion above that. http://i.imgur.com/lVn7qze.jpg | 00:56 |
| lousygarua | mdfe, what packages are those? do I apt-get purge && apt-get install them? | 00:56 |
| Fateen | oh i made the window smaller then big, now i see it span all over the screen mdfe ;p | 00:56 |
| somsip | vi956925: I found it took no initial configuration to get working. Tweaking is a completely different matter... | 00:57 |
| vi956925 | i installed some games that doesnt perform as i think should expect (much better performance on windows, tiny tweaks (like disabling sounds) having huge impact, keeping my cpu at 100% (unlike on windows). maybe just a configuration thing tho, but every tiem i play atleast i try kill everything i dont need of normal programs atleast | 00:57 |
| lousygarua | Maybe he just needs to run dpkg-reconfigure xserver-xorg again from tty1 or soemthing | 00:57 |
| wilee-nilee | sam___, https://wiki.ubuntu.com/SecurityTeam/SecureBoot | 00:57 |
| mdfe | lousygarua, not sure what the packages are; that is why i was asking you if you could see his logs | 00:57 |
| lousygarua | mdfe, I see. | 00:58 |
| Fateen | thx mdfe | 00:58 |

| platzhirsch | Any known problems with Samba on Raring Ringtail? system-config-samba is installed, but it does not appear in the Dash | 00:58 |
| vi956925 | yeah k. maybe insignificant etc. but like the animations, trails, suonds etc. as on windows Id happily pass on, and much else, even if improvement is tiny | 00:58 |
| lousygarua | mdfe, thanks for the help of course | 00:58 |
| vi956925 | worked very easily btw, only thing i stopped at between putting in cd and having it installed was the partition setup.. got some simple answers here and got that working tho. that was what held me back frmo it eariler, unsure about the partitioning part of the install and didnt wanna mess with incase got stuck with lotta isues then | 00:59 |
| bestdnd | hi. many times i have high iowait, around 60%-80%, while my cpu is at 20%-40% (so together they get 100%). when it happens, everything works very slow, around a few seconds until the mouse pointer moves. how can i find what causes it? | 01:00 |
| Fateen | how to disable the animations in ubuntu. it's running pretty slow on my i7 laptop ;/ | 01:00 |
| SnapSnap | I'm running Ubuntu 13.04. How do I make shell scripts run in the terminal by default. Currently when selected, they run in gedit. | 01:01 |
| mdfe | Fateen, ubuntu 13.04 requires 3d acceleration really. What you could do is install xubuntu,which doenst | 01:01 |
| johnjohn101 | i think i figured out network manager vs wicd problem. seems all i had to do is hit apply system wide on the network proxy box and all is well. | 01:01 |
| Fateen | mdfe, oh, ok, i think i have 3d accel disbaled in virtualbox. thx | 01:01 |
| johnjohn101 | i've never had a network proxy | 01:01 |
| * mdfe forgot 3d accel works on windows hosts | 01:02 | |
| Loshki | bestdnd: My first guess would be that the disk is retrying. In your place, I would use SMART (gsamrtctl) to see if your disk has bad spots. You might wanna do a backup also... | 01:04 |
| SnapSnap | I'm running Ubuntu 13.04. How do I make shell scripts run in the terminal by default. Currently when selected, they run in gedit. | 01:04 |
| vi956925 | when 12.04 is no longer supported, will updating be easy or require reinstalling OS or much work with files or such? any easy way to take backup of some kind of the system, or main way is just stuffing in a foldera nd tar.gz it kinda ? | 01:05 |
| mdfe | SnapSnap, In nautilus? | 01:05 |
| SnapSnap | Yeah. When I select a shell script it tries to open it in gedit. Since many of them are large this freezes my computer. I want shell scripts to execute by default | 01:05 |
| vi956925 | guess i should keep track of all special programs (like custom music player, other things..settings etc), may become alot over the years and will suck the day i mess up and fk the system need to start over.. hopefully wont be too much tho:d owel | 01:06 |
| bestdnd | <Loshki> you mean "apt-get install smartpm-core"? do i need to do it while iowait is high? | 01:06 |
| vi956925 | or what do ppl do? keep everything orderly and simple just or some kinda backup or migration tools easy to use? | 01:06 |
| Loshki | vi956925: 12.04 is an LTS. By the time they stop supporting it, you won't be very interested in it any more, and there will be a new LTS to update to. Backups will work the way they always have... | 01:07 |
| vi956925 | would be cool to have a virtual identical and easily updatable copy of ones system, like keeping up with small changes like perl addons n such, to have a test-box with same hm | 01:07 |

| chisle | fractaline: try live cd first | 01:21 |
| kvothetech | fateen yum is not used in ubuntu you can use apt or aptitude | 01:21 |
| kvothetech | you can also dl the rpm extract it and manually install it | 01:21 |
| mdfe | Fateen, You need ubuntu specific ideally, but most debian will probably work. Ubuntu would install with 'sudo apt-get install <x>' not 'yum install <x>' | 01:21 |
| Jeruvy | fractaline how much RAM do you have? | 01:22 |
| kvothetech | or you can just find the source to the package and compile it any of the 3 should work | 01:22 |
| fractaline | 4gig currently | 01:22 |
| Jeruvy | fractaline then you should install | 01:22 |
| Ari-Yang | hey, what happened to software center? http://gyazo.com/96a1ef2746bcf2d8e3a2d4012cc5c9fb | 01:23 |
| Ari-Yang | so I guess I hit 'Repair'? | 01:23 |
| gerep | Hi there! | 01:24 |
| val___ | hello | 01:24 |
| mdfe | Fateen, What are specifcally trying to install? | 01:24 |
| === crypto is now known as Guest58043 | ||
| gerep | I have ubuntu installed and I want to install Windows, I just bought skyrim and I want to play =) | 01:24 |
| Udms | ls | 01:24 |
| fractaline | chisle, why? | 01:24 |
| Udms | clear | 01:24 |
| val___ | are there any useful irc channels to troubleshoot monitor resolution for ratpoison desktop env. ? | 01:24 |
| mdfe | gerep, skyrim will work via wine | 01:25 |
| val___ | i tried the ratpoison channel but i think everyone there is afk | 01:25 |
| gerep | My ubuntu installation took the entire disk, how can I create a partition now? is it safe? | 01:25 |
| Udms | no | 01:25 |
| Udms | you can but its not safe | 01:25 |
| catholic7 | kvothetech, i think im almost set, but i dont seam to connect, it tells me wrong password | 01:25 |
| gerep | Udms: damn...so the best option is to format? | 01:25 |
| mdfe | gerep, you can resize the partitions with gparted | 01:26 |
| gerep | mdfe: but that is not safe is it? I use this notebook to work, so I can't mess with it =) | 01:26 |
| mdfe | gerep, after you install windows you will need to repair the boot loader with grub, as windows will nuke it | 01:26 |
| Udms | never mind it is very safe | 01:26 |
| === Guest58043 is now known as Hx2 | ||
| gerep | Udms: really? | 01:26 |
| mdfe | gerep, it usually works ;-) | 01:26 |
| Udms | yes | 01:27 |
| Hx2 | Anybody knows about gnome 3.8 failing to load gnome classic? | 01:27 |
| Udms | hx2: no | 01:27 |
| mdfe | gerep, will a work laptop run skyrim? | 01:27 |
| gerep | mdfe: yes, I already tried it =) | 01:27 |
| gerep | mdfe and Udms thanks for you time and attention ;) | 01:27 |
| kvothetech | catholic7 ok | 01:27 |
| catholic7 | i think i got it...... | 01:27 |
| Hx2 | any ideas about what can be the issue? | 01:27 |
| kvothetech | mdfe depends on specs | 01:27 |
| mdfe | gerep your options are 1) rezize the partitions, 2) reinstall win then ubuntu, 3) use WINE in ubuntu | 01:28 |
| gerep | mdfe: the 3 options doesn't work, I'm gonna try the first | 01:28 |
| fractaline | sorry to but in ;) are there many cons to running 64bit ubuntu these days? | 01:28 |
| mdfe | gerep, performance is too low in wine? | 01:29 |
| gerep | mdfe: I couldn't install skyrim | 01:29 |
| mdfe | fractaline, printer drivers | 01:29 |
| mdfe | gerep, http://www.playonlinux.com/en/issue-2046.html | 01:29 |
| kvothetech | fractalline no not really and if you have any issues multilib or 32 bit chroot | 01:29 |
| fractaline | mdfe thats the con? | 01:29 |
| mdfe | fractaline, some drivers still, and a couple of media codecs | 01:30 |
| Ari-Yang | anybody know how I can fix software-center? http://gyazo.com/96a1ef2746bcf2d8e3a2d4012cc5c9fb | 01:30 |
| fractaline | and the pros?? | 01:30 |
| Muelli | Ari-Yang: click "repair" | 01:30 |
| mdfe | fractaline, can use more memory, requirde 64bit for uefi secure boot | 01:30 |
| kvothetech | fractalline more memory addressing support for things like kvm | 01:31 |
| Udms | Ari-Yang: you have to update its cache by clicking repair | 01:31 |
| Ari-Yang | Muelli, that didn't work. | 01:31 |
| catholic7 | kvothetech, i got in but now i want to change the home directory | 01:31 |
| Ari-Yang | I ran software-center in terminal as sudo (because I have to on this DE) | 01:31 |
| Ari-Yang | this is what I got.. | 01:31 |
| Rich787 | Hey all, I'm trying to download a torrent to an external hard drive, but rtorrent is freezing up when I try to do this. Does anyone know why? | 01:31 |
| Muelli | Ari-Yang: not a smart idea. | 01:31 |
| wilee-nilee | Ari-Yang, You would use gksudo | 01:32 |
| catholic7 | kvothetech, my command was: useradd -g ftpusers -d /home/catholic7/ftp userhere | 01:32 |
| Udms | Ari-Yang: you have to update its cache by clicking repair | 01:32 |
| Ari-Yang | I did hit repair | 01:32 |
| Udms | ok | 01:32 |
| Ari-Yang | http://pastebin.com/raw.php?i=vstvmpua | 01:32 |
| Ari-Yang | here ^ | 01:32 |
| savagecroc | Hi everyone.. i'm a bit confused about how tosetup LUKS/dm-crypt for full disk encryption.. i've got an ubuntu bootable usb drive.. do i need to install ubuntu first? or can i use the usb drive to boot to command line and run various commands | 01:33 |
| Muelli | savagecroc: no, yes. | 01:33 |
| kvothetech | catholic you can change the home dir in /etc/passwd | 01:33 |
| Udms | does anyone know how to delete unity and put on kde | 01:33 |
| Ari-Yang | do I have to run apt-get update and then apt-get -f install? | 01:34 |
| Udms | checking | 01:34 |
| savagecroc | ok so how do i get a terminal window from the USB drive? | 01:34 |
| savagecroc | .. oh i think i've got it.. try ubuntu | 01:34 |
| kvothetech | savage you encryot then install on it you first go to a termibal and format the partition then cryptsetup to encrypt it then mount it then install to it | 01:35 |
| kvothetech | savage ctrl alt f1 | 01:35 |
| Rich787 | Udms: You should be able to go into the software center to add the whole KDE package. I can't remember the title of it though | 01:35 |
| Udms | no ari_yang | 01:35 |
| kvothetech | udms yes apt get --purge remove whateverpackageunityis apt get install kde | 01:36 |
| Udms | thank you | 01:36 |
| kvothetech | rich787 something like kde-meta | 01:36 |
| Rich787 | yea sounds familiar | 01:36 |
| catholic7 | kvothetech, how can i set it to be a diff partition? its this one: /dev/sda5 | 01:36 |
| savagecroc | kvotech: ok.. so format partiion.. cryptsetup.. then mount the drive.. how do you then trigger the ubuntu installer? | 01:37 |
| Ari-Yang | okay, the problem isn't there | 01:37 |
| Ari-Yang | I'm not sure what happened...... | 01:37 |
| Udms | how do you run python with a parameter in command line | 01:37 |
| James_Epp | Greetings! I am trying to do a network boot of Ubuntu_1204_Desktop_i386. (In PxE) I am using the following under my menu for kernel : KERNEL 0/Ubuntu/12.04/Desktop/i386/casper/vmlinuz and I am getting the error message of 'Invalid or corrupt kernel image' when my client boots. Is the default vmlinuz not compatible with PxE ?? | 01:38 |
| kvothetech | udms python parameter | 01:38 |
| fractaline | so for a novice/casual user is there much benefit in switching to 64bit? been having some bugginess with 12.04 but atm i suspect cairo dock... | 01:38 |
| kvothetech | like anything else | 01:38 |
| Udms | ok | 01:38 |
| Udms | 01:38 | |
| Udms | 01:38 | |
| Udms | 01:38 | |
| FloodBot1 | Udms: Please don't flood; use http://paste.ubuntu.com to paste; don't use Enter as punctuation. | 01:38 |
| kvothetech | james idk check /proc/config.gz on it if its running | 01:39 |
| James_Epp | kvothetech: Could you elaborate? I do not know what you mean by this config.gz | 01:40 |
| Riley_88 | hey guys for playing games in wine do yall know if 360 controllers are plug and play like on windows | 01:40 |
| Udms | does apt-get use ubuntu software center | 01:40 |
| kvothetech | james epp thats the running kernels config look for the pxe options in the file after extracting it | 01:41 |
| mdfe | Riley_88, they work and how to set them up is an easy google. i dont know the procedure myself but i know its simple | 01:41 |
| Riley_88 | udms apt-get is i terminal | 01:41 |
| James_Epp | There is no config.gz | 01:41 |
| Udms | i didnt get that | 01:41 |
| mdfe | Udms, other way around: s/ware centre is a front end for dpkg. At-get is a terminal front end for dpkg as well. | 01:41 |
| kvothetech | udms software center uses apt not other way around | 01:41 |
| Udms | ok | 01:41 |
| val___ | hi, i'm having trouble getting the proper resolution to work | 01:41 |
| Udms | but is thetre an alternative to apt | 01:42 |
| mdfe | udms: aptitude, synaptic, dpkg | 01:42 |
| kvothetech | james epp /proc doesnt have a copy of your running kernels config? wth | 01:42 |
| Riley_88 | mdfe i got nba2k13 working pretty good in wine but i cant use my ps3 controller so i guess ill need to buy a 360 one lol | 01:42 |
| cephalopod | anyone on here using gally? (sign-language teaching program??) | 01:42 |
| James_Epp | Apparently not. I have restarted the service after I edited /etc/exports | 01:42 |
| === BadLarry is now known as BadLarry_ | ||
| kvothetech | cephalopod nope not one person | 01:42 |
| Udms | is there an alternative to bash | 01:43 |
| mdfe | Udms, a great many shells :) | 01:43 |
| cntb | eeepc intel atom on 12.04 ;ts recently updated disappeared sound.\ | 01:43 |

| mdfe | Udms, may i ask why you need one? | 01:44 |
| Udms | i just wanted to know | 01:44 |
| Riley_88 | udms unless u switch distro like to suse or arch now | 01:44 |
| Riley_88 | no* | 01:44 |
| mdfe | Udms, linux is open source, there's an alternative for everthing as there is no central control, and everyone can make their own stuff | 01:44 |
| === BadLarry_ is now known as BadLarry | ||
| kvothetech | james_epp hmm well no idea if you dont know what your kernel was compiled with id suspecr something odd if its not in /proc though | 01:45 |
| Udms | okay | 01:45 |
| cntb | Volume applet not appearing. how to manage applets anyway | 01:45 |
| jawee | Does anyone have a recommendation for a lighter-weight browser than Opera/Chrome? I'm on a netbook with 1GB of RAM and first gen Atom processor.. Opera 9.x was doing well, but newer versions not so much. | 01:45 |
| James_Epp | I am creating a proper 'ubuntu paste' right now | 01:45 |
| Riley_88 | jawee firefox | 01:45 |
| Riley_88 | or qupzilla | 01:45 |
| Udms | does anyone know of a tutorial of bash | 01:45 |
| jawee | Riley_88: Firefox is even worse than Opera :\ I will lookup qupzilla; I had not heard of it | 01:45 |

| kvothetech | jawee those are the most usable light ones anyway | 01:46 |
| Udms | thanks | 01:46 |
| jawee | kvothetech: those look useful. I like that it still uses webkit.. stuff like dillo isn't worth messing with | 01:46 |
| bellasbells | defendor, see if https://bugs.launchpad.net/ubuntu/+source/synaptic/+bug/192567 helps (the last 5 comments) | 01:47 |

| bellasbells | defendor, though that bug report is for synaptic, it applies for other apps as well (http://ubuntuforums.org/showthread.php?p=2070840) | 01:48 |
| GBGames | I just upgraded to 12.04, and I find that switching between workspaces with CTRL+ALT+arrow keys works differently. I can't simply press left and right as far as I want. Now I have to go up and down as well? | 01:48 |
| mdfe | jawee, i really like xxxterm | 01:48 |
| GBGames | Is there a way to change the functionality back? | 01:48 |
| mdfe | GBGames, keyboard bindings in the system settings | 01:48 |
| kvothetech | mdfe yeah its great | 01:48 |
| Riley_88 | gbgames u can just do alt+tab | 01:49 |
| kvothetech | gbgames rebind the shortcuts | 01:49 |
| GBGames | Riley_88: That switches between applications, not workspaces. | 01:49 |
| defendor | bellasbells it might work with removing /var/cache/apt *bin files, but to do that i need to use 'sudo rm', and i can't use sudo at all! | 01:49 |
| bellasbells | defendor, boot into rescue mode | 01:49 |
| bellasbells | or use a livecd | 01:49 |
| GBGames | kvothetech: I guess I don't see how changing the shortcuts works. | 01:50 |
| Rich787 | Does anyone have any experience using a torrent program to write to an external? | 01:50 |
| Rich787 | my client hangs when I try to do so :/ | 01:50 |
| GBGames | The shortcut for switching workspaces says "Move to workspace left|right|above|below" | 01:51 |
| savagecroc | when securely erasing a disk in preparation for LUKS, does it have to be partitioned first? | 01:51 |
| GBGames | And so the real issue seems to be making the workspaces left and right and not above and below. | 01:51 |
| GBGames | Unless I'm missing something. | 01:51 |
| mdfe | GBGames, you want the sworkspaces all horizontal? | 01:52 |
| fractaline | sorry to spam you guys ... i'm about to move from 12.04 to 13.04 and i am looking for advice as to whether or not it's worth it to switch to 64bit while i'm at it? | 01:52 |
| dillu | @fractaline | 01:52 |
| dillu | don't. | 01:52 |
| dillu | there is no point | 01:52 |
| dillu | wait till the LTS | 01:52 |
| number-6 | fatal error: term.h: No such file or directory | 01:53 |
| mdfe | raring has a working task switcher in unity though :) | 01:53 |
| number-6 | any suggestions? | 01:53 |
| GBGames | mdfe: So before I upgraded, and on every system I've ever used (Debian w/ Fluxbox or Gnome, previous Ubuntu versions with Gnome or Unity, etc), CTRL+ALT+left or right was all I needed to navigate my workspaces. | 01:53 |
| kvothetech | savagecroc i think so | 01:53 |
| fractaline | dillu, no point in 13.04 or 64bit? | 01:53 |
| GBGames | Now I can't. If I try to do CTRL+ALT+right, I can only navigate to one workspace, and I have to use CTRL+ALT+down to get to another. | 01:53 |
| mdfe | GBGames, downloda "unity tweak tool" and it will enable you to set the workspaces all horizontal, so you can move left-right only. It's in software centre | 01:54 |
| GBGames | Ok, thanks, mdfe! | 01:54 |
| netcrash | hello, can anyone provide me the default groupS for the "admin" user in ubuntu? | 01:54 |
| dillu | no point upgrading to 13.04 | 01:54 |
| dillu | except for the icons, there is no major change | 01:54 |
| SIFTU | savagecroc: no it doesnt need partitions to wipe | 01:54 |
| mdfe | dillu, unity scroll switching was vital for me | 01:55 |
| usr13_ | netcrash: For what? admin is just admin. | 01:55 |
| trism | number-6: libncurses5-dev perhaps | 01:55 |
| fractaline | but i want the latest and greatest.... ;) | 01:55 |
| savagecroc | SIFTU: ah yeah.. it wasn't outputting any info.. i just read about passing it the -USR1 switch | 01:55 |
| netcrash | usr13_: ok, then the groups for the normal everyday user | 01:55 |
| GBGames | mdfe: Not seeing this tweak tool. | 01:56 |
| bleemoo | Hi. I'm running 13.04, and my housemates are running Windows boxes. Whenever I go online, they lose internet. I have no idea why this is happening, and want to fix it. | 01:56 |
| dillu | there should be something worthwhile in the latest right? there isn't 12.04 is surely the greatest (as of now) | 01:56 |
| dillu | so my advice - wait till the LTS | 01:56 |
| mdfe | GBGames, http://www.ubuntugeek.com/how-to-install-unity-tweak-tool-in-ubuntu-13-04-raring-ringtail.html | 01:56 |
| kvothetech | dillu depends what you want | 01:56 |
| GBGames | Well, as I said, I just upgraded to 12.04 LTS. | 01:57 |
| dillu | kvothetech - exactly my point | 01:57 |
| Ari-Yang | 13.04 is on latest kernerl right? | 01:57 |
| Ari-Yang | s/kernerl/kernel | 01:57 |
| netcrash | bleemoo: any torrent software installed or soemthing on your machine causing network issues? | 01:57 |
| cntb | !sound | 01:57 |
| mdfe | GBGames, ah sorry, didnt see it was 12.04. I have forgotten how to do it in 12.04 | 01:58 |
| GBGames | mdfe: No problem. | 01:58 |
| mdfe | Ari-Yang, 3.8.something after updates | 01:58 |
| usr13_ | netcrash: If you grep the user you have, you'll see them. grep netcrash /etc/group | 01:58 |
| Ari-Yang | yeah, so some people may want to run on 13.04 because of that *shrugs* | 01:58 |
| kvothetech | ari yang only real way to get the latest kernel is kernel.org and nonstop grab it as people xhange it and compile it | 01:59 |
| James_Epp | I have bundled my question as nicely as I could into this pastebin: http://goo.gl/yyHI5 | 01:59 |
| kvothetech | ari ysng personally ill stick with 3.9.2 | 01:59 |
| netcrash | usr13_: Cool but I did "shit" (usermod -G) and lost the groups (at least I think I did since I lost the sudoers group) | 01:59 |
| Ari-Yang | stable: 3.8.13 [EOL] from kernel.org, what does the EOL stand for? | 02:00 |
| bleemoo | No torrent software is active. Right now, as far as I know, the applications that are accessing the internet are dropbox, chrome, skype, pidgin, and a terminal I have an active ssh session in. No large file transfers are taking place. My housemate who is sitting two feet away from can't download a game she just purchased, and can barely access the internet at all. | 02:00 |
| usr13_ | netcrash: Not good. | 02:00 |
| mdfe | 3.4.0 Chromium OS kernel on this machine | 02:00 |
| Ari-Yang | ah, latest kernel is 3.9.2 | 02:01 |
| mdfe | bleemoo, this could be your ISP | 02:01 |
| Ari-Yang | * latest stable | 02:01 |
| usr13_ | netcrash: http://www.psychocats.net/ubuntu/fixsudo | 02:01 |
| mdfe | Ari-Yang, End of Life | 02:01 |
| kvothetech | ari yang yeah thats what im on but im on gentoo | 02:01 |
| bleemoo | It's pretty consistently whenever my machine is connected and at no other time. | 02:01 |
| Ari-Yang | I'm actually tempted to update the kernel on this machine (running 12.10) to the latest stable... | 02:02 |
| mdfe | bleemoo, could be router as well. i cant think of anything on your machine that would do it. maybe some kind of weird IP address comflict perhaps? | 02:02 |
| Ari-Yang | 12.10 as we know uses 3.5... I think | 02:02 |
| Seven_Six_Two | I'm trying to get my webcam to take a picture every x seconds and save it to a folder. I've succeeded with vgrabbj, webcam, and motion. Motion uses too much cpu, but the other two won't save pictures with sequential file names. Does anyone know of another way to do this, preferably command prompt so that I can leave it running in a screen session so that I don't have to have a window open for days on end. | 02:02 |
| Ari-Yang | though, I wonder if that's a smart move to do... | 02:02 |
| usr13_ | netcrash: Depends on what you have going on, but, here is a list off of one of mine: adm dialout cdrom plugdev netdev lpadmin admin sambashare | 02:03 |

| usr13_ | James_Epp: Sure.... how can we help? | 02:04 |
| kvothetech | ari yang wont hurt long as you include everything you need | 02:04 |
| fractaline | kvothetech, you runing 13.04? 64bit? | 02:04 |
| James_Epp | usr13_: I think it may be an incorrect kernel or something, but I would like someone to check it over and see if they can find an issue in my directory structures/config files/ or if I need to substitute the default kernel with another? | 02:05 |
| Ben64 | Ari-Yang: unless you have a reason, you shouldn't upgrade the kernel | 02:05 |
| Ari-Yang | yeah | 02:05 |
| kernix | hi all | 02:05 |
| kvothetech | fractalline im running gentoo ~amd64 (testing 64 bit) | 02:06 |
| Ari-Yang | I'm running on 12.10, thinking about upgrading to 13.04. I thought "might as well seeing how it isn't LTS", then I heard about 13.10 lol when I see 13.10 becomes stable, I might actually upgrade to it | 02:06 |
| kvothetech | kernix hi | 02:06 |
| Ben64 | Ari-Yang: you have to go through all the versions anyway, might as well | 02:08 |
| bestdnd | hi. after having high iowait, i'm using "Disk Utility". on my system hd, it say "attribute: Current Pending Sector Count, assessment: Warning, normalized 200, worst 200, threshold 0, value 1 sector". should i be worried? could it be related to my iowait issue? what can i do? | 02:08 |
| Ari-Yang | Ben64, what do you mean "I have to go through all the versions"? | 02:08 |
| Ari-Yang | isn't it fine lets say updating from 12.10 to 3.10? skipping 3.04 | 02:09 |
| Ben64 | Ari-Yang: 12.10 -> 13.04 -> 13.10 | 02:09 |
| fractaline | ^^ | 02:09 |
| Ari-Yang | what's wrong with skipping 13.4? | 02:09 |
| Ben64 | Ari-Yang: you can't | 02:09 |
| Ari-Yang | * 13.04 | 02:09 |
| Ari-Yang | oh | 02:09 |
| Ari-Yang | unless I d/l an .iso and make a usb boot up? :b | 02:09 |
| Ben64 | lts upgrades to lts, but other than that you can't skip | 02:09 |
| kvothetech | ari more likely to break something | 02:09 |
| usr13_ | James_Epp: What is your end goal? Are you wanting to do network installs across your LAN? | 02:09 |
| James_Epp | The goal of my setup is to boot the Ubuntu 12.04 desktop i386 iso over the network using nfs and tftpd-hpa. | 02:10 |
| Ari-Yang | so even with a usb install that has 3.10, I should still upgrade to 13.04? O: | 02:10 |
| defendor | my internet is trribly slow in ubuntu 13.04 home server, i dont know why. | 02:10 |
| fred-fri | what are the equivalents of times new roman and verdana in ubuntu? | 02:10 |
| Ben64 | Ari-Yang: reinstall is not the same as an upgrade | 02:11 |
| Ari-Yang | true, but it's okay to reinstall ubuntu (replacing 12.10) with 13.10 for e.g. | 02:11 |
| Ari-Yang | without messing anything up | 02:12 |
| Ari-Yang | I would think so tbh... | 02:12 |
| James_Epp | usr13_: Along with booting it, yes, being able to do the installs as well as using the live environment would be perfect. | 02:12 |
| usr13_ | https://help.ubuntu.com/community/PXEInstallServer | 02:12 |
| Ben64 | fred-fri: Times New Roman and Verdana | 02:12 |
| kvothetech | ari as long as you keep your /home and dont mind reinstalling extra packages all your stuff should be there if you do that | 02:12 |
| fred-fri | Ben64: lol im just looking for open, pre-installed fonts that are similar | 02:13 |
| fred-fri | liberation sans and serif seem to do the job | 02:13 |
| James_Epp | usr13_: Netboot would be a nice option, but I was planning on adding a lot more to this server in the future. Acronis, Hirens, Windows Pre-installation environments, etc. | 02:13 |
| Ben64 | fred-fri: dunno, i have both of those on my computer already | 02:13 |
| === BadLarry is now known as BadLarry_ | ||
| dillu | fred-fri: liberation sans is almost the same as times | 02:13 |
| gordonjcp | fred-fri: you can install those both, subject to accepting the terms of the licence for them | 02:14 |
| fred-fri | cool, ill stick to liberation | 02:14 |

| fractaline | so what would be the best way to keep /home if i reinstall | 02:14 |

| bestdnd | hi. after having high iowait, i'm using "Disk Utility". on my system HD, it say "attribute: Current Pending Sector Count, assessment: Warning, normalized 200, worst 200, threshold 0, value 1 sector". also, using the self test button gives "self tests: failed (read)" on all 3 types. should i be worried? could it be related to my iowait issue? what can i do? | 02:15 |
| James_Epp | usr13_: The issue I am having is that my client is reporting an invalid kernel image. I see in this documentation they are using a 'linux' kernel. Should I be using that instead? | 02:15 |
| Ben64 | bestdnd: could be bad drive, bad cable, bad motherboard | 02:16 |

| usr13_ | James_Epp: Looks like the this covers it pretty well ^^^^ | 02:18 |
| bestdnd | not really, but my i keep most of my data on a different HD | 02:19 |
| usr13_ | GBGames: If you drop down to only 2, can you? | 02:19 |
| James_Epp | usr13_: This does not cover my vmlinuz issue, however. They are using the same boot file that I am having issues loading in the first place. | 02:19 |
| GBGames | I can't change it. | 02:19 |
| GBGames | I have to log out, go into Unity 3D, and using MyUnity, I can change the number of horizontal and vertical workspaces. | 02:19 |
| GBGames | And it seems to work fine until I switch back to Unity-2d. | 02:19 |
| usr13_ | GBGames: What about just Ctrl-F1, Ctrl-F2, Ctrl-F3 etc. ? | 02:20 |
| GBGames | MyUnity can't change it in 2D mode, and the workspaces in 2D are still in a 2x2 configuration. | 02:20 |
| GBGames | usr13_: ? | 02:20 |
| usr13_ | GBGames: Change workspaces with Ctrl-F1, Ctrl-F2, Ctrl-F3 etc. | 02:21 |
| GBGames | That's the thing. I don't want to change how I have been doing it for years. | 02:21 |
| GBGames | CTRL+ALT+ left/right. | 02:21 |
| GBGames | That's all I want to do. | 02:21 |
| GBGames | But this 2x2 configuration forces me to do up/down as well, and I don't want to do that. | 02:21 |
| GBGames | And I don't want to change how I switch workspaces. | 02:21 |
| usr13_ | GBGames: So what's wrong with Ctrl-F1, Ctrl-F2, Ctrl-F3 ? | 02:21 |
| === _deXter_ is now known as [deXter] | ||

| GBGames | Before I upgraded to 12.04, I was using the previous Ubuntu LTS, which recently informed me that there were no more updates available for it. | 02:23 |
| GBGames | So it was the previous iteration of Unity. | 02:24 |
| GBGames | But before that, Gnome, and before that, Fluxbox. | 02:24 |

| jilebedev | Hi hi - I've suspended a job with C-z. It's still running - I can `pgrep` or `ps aux | grep ` for it. However, `jobs` doesn't list it. How do I attach back to it? If it's any use, the program is w3m. It even showed me a neat little "Suspended" message when I pressed C-z. | 02:44 |
| pepee | jilebedev, fg | 02:45 |

| kvothetech | you suspended your window manager? lol fg will resume or should | 02:45 |

| jilebedev | pepee: thanks, figured it out. already knew how to manipulate jobs - fg/bg/jobs. | 02:45 |
| pepee | np | 02:45 |
| jilebedev | No, I loaded a single tty, then ran w3m within it. needed more shells, so I suspended w3m, started tmux, and listed jobs. 'course, jobs returned nothing because I didn't suspend anything from that shell. I detached from tmux and ran jobs -- sure enough, w3m's still there. Lesson learned - jobs are shell-dependent. | 02:46 |

| usr13_ | James_Epp: Change ro,async,no_root_squash,no_subtree_check to just nolock,ro | 02:57 |
| James_Epp | usr13_: TY | 02:58 |
| usr13_ | James_Epp: Does it need to be ro? | 02:58 |
| usr13_ | I just use nolock,users,rw on mine. | 02:58 |
| James_Epp | usr13_: I think the clients may do weird things if they had write access. :P | 02:58 |
| James_Epp | users? What does that one do? | 02:58 |
| usr13_ | James_Epp: Ok, well you probably don't need write access anyway. | 02:59 |
| James_Epp | usr13_: When I rebooted NFS, it says it doesn't understand nolock | 02:59 |
| usr13_ | James_Epp: The whole line should look something like this: | 03:00 |
| usr13_ | James_Epp: Oh yea, the exports file. all you need is (ro) nothing more. | 03:01 |
| James_Epp | usr13_: I booted with just (ro) and now I have 'NFS over TCP not available from <SERVER_IP>' | 03:01 |

| c_smith | Hey, I am looking to record a broadcast on the net while I'm in class tomorrow on my desktop (the program is Google IO, if anyone is wondering) and need to have it done entirely automated aside from the initial configuration as I won't be in front of my desktop when in class, is there a way to do this, like one would do in DVR devices, but I choose the video container, etc? | 03:05 |
| usr13_ | rullie: But: https://security.appspot.com/vsftpd/vsftpd_conf.html | 03:05 |

| usr13_ | rullie: Check that you have write_enable=YES in your vsftpd.conf | 03:07 |
| James_Epp | Do I require more parameters for nfs? | 03:07 |
| rullie | usr13_: it is YES | 03:07 |
| rullie | note i can delete file and create directories | 03:08 |
| James_Epp | rullie: On the local machine, whom owns the folders you are trying to upload to? | 03:08 |
| James_Epp | It is a different user than the one who you are trying to connect to? (ex. root) | 03:08 |
| James_Epp | Is it* | 03:08 |
| rullie | James_Epp: nobody, but i have group write permission on the folder and the ftp user belongs to that group | 03:09 |
| usr13_ | James_Epp: What does ls -l /var/lib/???/???/ubuntu say? | 03:09 |
| usr13_ | rullie: Has it been restarted since it's said YES? | 03:10 |
| James_Epp | usr13_: Everything is owned by root. | 03:10 |
| rullie | usr13_: oh yeah, many times | 03:10 |
| rullie | i'm almost doubting my ftp client now... hmm | 03:10 |
| rullie | let me try a different one | 03:10 |
| James_Epp | rullie: I have sometimes had issue as to whether I am using passive mode or not. Try the 'ftp' utility in the terminal. | 03:10 |
| rullie | James_Epp: the client is mac | 03:11 |
| James_Epp | rullie: It should still have the utility | 03:11 |
| rullie | yeah | 03:11 |
| James_Epp | Even windows has one :P | 03:11 |
| usr13_ | rullie: The user has to also match, (have ownership / group privileges) as well. | 03:12 |
| rullie | I was able to create a folder through ftp, but unable to upload to that folder | 03:12 |
| rullie | which kinda tells me it's not a file level permission problem | 03:12 |
| rullie | but i'm not too familiar with ftp, so iuno | 03:12 |
| rullie | context: i'm trying to get wordpress to work :/ and it needs a ftp going for it to update itself | 03:13 |
| rullie | if you ask me that's retarded | 03:13 |
| usr13_ | rullie: Just use proftpd | 03:13 |
| James_Epp | usr13_: I'm not getting anywhere. Is it a 'root' ownership issue? It couldn't be, could it? | 03:13 |
| rullie | usr13_: i am now. but that doesn't seem to solving any problem | 03:13 |
| rullie | usr13_: any config i should watch out for? | 03:14 |
| usr13_ | James_Epp: What does ls -l /var/lib/???/???/ubuntu say? | 03:14 |
| James_Epp | I responded earlier: It is owned by root | 03:14 |
| James_Epp | rullie: Look at gproftpd | 03:14 |

| fractaline | maybe that's a stupid question in the ubuntu channel :/ | 03:20 |
| usr13_ | James_Epp: 755 for directories and 644 for files | 03:20 |
| James_Epp | Wouldn't that require me doing all of those manually? | 03:21 |
| c_smith | James_Epp, not if you do it recursively (with the -R flag) on the topmost directory holding them | 03:22 |
| c_smith | but it's more risky doing it the way I proposed | 03:22 |

| fractaline | i think i should | 03:29 |
| c_smith | Oh, AMD, why do you have to not support the 3.9 kernel? | 03:29 |

| Waffs | Hey If I want to install ubuntu to run off my 16gb flashdrive and use it between many computers should I download the 12.04 LTS for x32? | 03:38 |
| c_smith | Waffs, just use the liveCD | 03:38 |
| James_Epp | But now, once I get ubuntu loaded off of the NFS server, it gives me the 'The system is running low-graphics mode' jingle. Maybe I'll just try a real computer. | 03:39 |
| c_smith | which can be put on a flash drive | 03:39 |
| Waffs | Does that have persistant storage? | 03:39 |
| [deXter] | Waffs, Yeah you can do that, but don't install it, just create a persistent live USB using Unetbootin or similar. | 03:39 |
| c_smith | Waffs, sadly no | 03:39 |
| c_smith | not on programs and whatnot | 03:39 |
| c_smith | only personal files if I recall correctly | 03:40 |
| === cyphase_ is now known as cyphase | ||
| Waffs | deXter, I should use the said ISo and use unetbootin to make it live? | 03:40 |
| [deXter] | Waffs, yep | 03:40 |
| lazers | BlackWeb: Erm. One thing can be toggled off -- Don't let that make you reinstall the whole thing. It could be one OMG stupid feature/trick/solution. | 03:40 |
| Waffs | C_smith, thanks for that tip but I need persistant storage with apps and waht not | 03:40 |
| Waffs | Thanks deXter | 03:40 |
| c_smith | then a flash drive isn't what you want. | 03:40 |
| c_smith | you want a external hard disk | 03:41 |
| c_smith | more storage, and it's built to have multiple partitions, something that a flash drive wasn't built for, plus you'll burn out the flash drive quick. | 03:41 |
| Waffs | c_smith, I don't have a spare external hdd laying around :(. | 03:42 |
| James_Epp | usr13_: I GOT IT. AWWWW YEAH. Took an old Dell Workstation and booted straight into it. Me be so happy. Time to update my documentation! | 03:43 |
| c_smith | Waffs, but what you're looking for, be sure to expect problems, as an OS is meant to be installed on one PC and not moved around like you want | 03:43 |
| [deXter] | Modern flash drives have fairly decent wear-leveling, and provided the drive is large enough (at least 40% more free space than installed OS+apps) then write amplification isn't an issue. It should easily last the lifetime on an LTS release. | 03:43 |
| BlackWeb | Lazers: Ya I've googled around and searched, But to no luck. I have "ethtool -s eth0 wol g" inside of my /etc/rc.local file, I have "ethernet-wol g" inside of /etc/network/interfaces & ya no luck, its a small bug thats kinda been irritating, But ya before that the server worked fine for 9 months no problems | 03:43 |
| c_smith | you'll have parts where you lack the driver and vice-versa | 03:43 |
| [deXter] | Waffs, As long as you don't install any proprietary (restricted) drivers, you'll be fine. | 03:44 |
| lazers | BlackWeb: Any error message? Anything to work with? | 03:44 |
| * c_smith goes off to watch Halo Forward Unto Dawn | 03:44 | |

| Aktiffisus | hi good nigth every body | 03:45 |
| Aktiffisus | i need some help | 03:45 |
| Aktiffisus | i am noob on ubuntu | 03:45 |
| kvothetech | Aktiffisus: what you need help with | 03:46 |
| BlackWeb | lazers: Not really, I have it up and running now if you want me to try anything, The weird thing is also, after the update then sometimes the server would come up without bring up the network interface, So I reinstalled the network driver and that seemed to fix that | 03:46 |
| BlackWeb | lazers: Heres my device Realtek Semiconductor co RTL8111/8168B | 03:47 |
| Aktiffisus | hi kvotetech first ii want to have my system safe and plain install antivirus for unices or something like that because i interact whith too many computers whith windows and dont want to infect them | 03:47 |
| lazers | BlackWeb: Erm. I only have "post-up /sbin/ethtool -s $IFACE wol g" and "post-down /sbin/ethtool -s $IFACE wol g" in my /etc/network/interfaces and that seems to do the trick for me. | 03:47 |
| Aktiffisus | and dont want have a infection on ubuntu i know are low probable but all in this world is posible | 03:48 |
| Aktiffisus | Any security product who detects thearts for windows and linux? | 03:48 |
| Ari-Yang | Aktiffisus, you don't need antivirus for linux | 03:48 |
| wilee-nilee | !av | 03:48 |
| ubottu | Antivirus is something you don't need on !Linux. except where files are then passed to windows computers (perhaps using samba), See https://help.ubuntu.com/community/Antivirus | 03:48 |
| fractaline | has anyone used cairo dock and found it to cause instability? | 03:49 |
| Ari-Yang | tbh, I don't think you need antivirus for any unix based system, afk | 03:49 |
| BlackWeb | lazers: so in /etc/network/interface under: auto eth0 Add: "post-up /sbin/ethtool -s eth0 wol g" ; post-down /sbin/ethtool -s eth0 wol g" | 03:49 |
| th0r | Aktiffisus, check clamav...it is what you want | 03:50 |
| Ari-Yang | though, is there a command to check and see that there aren't any viruses on ubuntu? | 03:50 |
| Ari-Yang | * terminal command | 03:50 |
| lazers | BlackWeb: Yup. I wonder if you upgraded -- Maybe non-free firmwares are not included? | 03:50 |
| Aktiffisus | I see in one article unices can be infected by rootkits because thats my worrie | 03:51 |
| kvothetech | Ari-Yang: you can use clamav but really shouldn't have to use any as you said | 03:51 |
| lazers | BlackWeb: Wild guess. Add tha. Turn it off. And see if that work -- Otherwise, I do not know. :| | 03:51 |
| Ari-Yang | *nod* | 03:51 |
| Ari-Yang | unless you're just too paranoid lol which I'm not with linux.... on the other hand with windows, I am cautious :b afk | 03:52 |
| kvothetech | akiml_: rkhunter and chkroot or whatever are anti rootkit systems though using basic precautions and you should be fine | 03:52 |
| kvothetech | er Aktiffisus above was for you | 03:52 |
| tinymontgomerysa | second vote for clamav and also for not really needing antivirus | 03:52 |
| Aktiffisus | sorry | 03:54 |
| Aktiffisus | diid you read me? | 03:54 |
| BlackWeb | lazers: Alright I'll make the changes to it now, & then have to wait for a file transfer to complete to test it out, thanks for the input, Crossing my Fingers :) | 03:54 |
| lotuspsychje | Ari-Yang: theres rootkithunter to hunt for rootkits on your system | 03:54 |
| Aktiffisus | you tell me i dont need antivirus on linux | 03:54 |
| lazers | BlackWeb: No problem. I hope this work too. :) | 03:54 |
| Aktiffisus | sorry iits my first day and i go for the chanel and excuse me i am too slow | 03:55 |

| switching | quick question: what happened to the built-in messenger in ubuntu? | 04:15 |
| mapreduce | Hi. Is the 'install Ubuntu from Windows' feature known to result in a less stable installation in some way? | 04:16 |
| Aspire-Revo-User | mapreduce: Doesn't with with EUFI | 04:17 |
| switching | mapreduce are you talking about wubi? | 04:17 |
| Aspire-Revo-User | but it works on some systems. | 04:17 |
| mapreduce | switching: Yes. | 04:17 |
| switching | mapreduce because I am running within wubi right now | 04:17 |
| switching | no issues | 04:17 |
| mapreduce | So more likely to be device drivers.. | 04:17 |
| switching | what? | 04:17 |
| mapreduce | I find that Ubuntu freezes completely after a while. | 04:18 |
| Aspire-Revo-User | Mate doesnt | 04:19 |
| mapreduce | I've actually had the same from Mate. | 04:19 |
| switching | mapreduce strange | 04:19 |
| mapreduce | Windows on the same machine works great (but valgrind doesn't run on Windows, so..) | 04:19 |
| mapreduce | Can I disable loading the graphics drivers at boot and use some SVGA or similar generic driver? | 04:20 |

| jda2000 | Seven_Six_Two, Look at line 8 and 31 . You are going to have to strip leading zeros in your numbers before adding 1 because 00008 is invalid. | 05:13 |
| Aktiffisus | another alternative to nix note? more easy and preferential on spanish | 05:14 |
| jda2000 | Seven_Six_Two, The 0000 means it is an octal number (base 8) onl valid digits are 0-7. | 05:14 |

| onats | hi guys | 05:45 |
| onats | can anyone point me to a reference private cloud / openstack architecture hardware? | 05:45 |
| compgeek812 | hola | 05:45 |
| Seven_Six_Two | onats you're looking for a server? | 05:47 |
| onats | Seven_Six_Two: yes, and trying to understand the minimums. Choosing between going openstack or vmware | 05:48 |
| Seven_Six_Two | onats, do you want to build your own server? | 05:48 |
| Seven_Six_Two | onats, you're looking for many cores and much ram. | 05:48 |
| onats | 6 x 2 cores, 24GB Ram | 05:49 |
| Ari-Yang | hmm... wonder if there are system requirements for ubuntu 13.04 | 05:49 |
| onats | sorry, 2x 6 cores | 05:49 |
| makara | hi. My application won't run, says "Unable to locate package libXmu.so.6" | 05:49 |
| Seven_Six_Two | onats, that's not bad. are you going to run 6 instances? | 05:49 |
| onats | Seven_Six_Two: well current setup is 6-7 physical machines. i want to move it into a cloud | 05:50 |
| onats | or i mean a virtualised environment | 05:50 |
| Seven_Six_Two | onats, that setup would just cover it. | 05:50 |
| jakemp | none of my other computer appear when I go to the software center and sync | 05:50 |
| onats | Seven_Six_Two: 2 of these? | 05:51 |
| Seven_Six_Two | onats, what's the use cases? | 05:51 |
| onats | I'm reading the docs, and i need one controller, and one compute node? | 05:51 |
| onats | so that means I'm still lacking a 3rd machine for failover? | 05:51 |
| Birdo | hey everyone, I'm trying to correctly setup xubuntu here on my Macbook Pro 6-2. Right now I'm having problems adjusting my screen brightness - apparently the problem is the nvidia driver... I believe my MBP's model has a 330m. How do I install this driver? On the Ubuntu community help wiki it says to just select the recommended nvidia driver in system -> admin -> hardware drivers which I do not see in xfce | 05:51 |
| Seven_Six_Two | onats, what are you trying to do? | 05:52 |
| onats | Seven_Six_Two: virtualised environment, with HW failover | 05:52 |
| onats | so if one machine goes down, services are still running | 05:52 |
| Birdo | Also, my screen brightness adjusted perfectly when I booted from the livecd, but not after installation | 05:53 |
| Seven_Six_Two | onats, yes, but what for? Who is using the computers, and what are they doing? | 05:53 |
| === quem_ is now known as quem | ||
| onats | database servers mostly | 05:53 |
| Seven_Six_Two | for a corporation? 6-7 individuals? | 05:54 |
| Seven_Six_Two | onats, really it depends on the workload that you need done. if you're running mysql with 100 queries a day, you don't need a dedicated machine. If it's for a corporate network of 1k users, well that's different. | 05:55 |
| onats | Seven_Six_Two: more of like < 10 individuals. | 05:55 |
| onats | the hardware setup is causing issues as we're encountering hardware failures. | 05:55 |
| onats | MSSQL is running btw | 05:56 |
| onats | oh, can i run windows instances on openstack? | 05:56 |
| Seven_Six_Two | onats, if it's lightweight use, you could probably offload to EC2 | 05:56 |
| onats | Seven_Six_Two: it has to be in-house. | 05:56 |
| Seven_Six_Two | onats, I don't know about windows at all... | 05:56 |
| Seven_Six_Two | onats, you might want to look in to citriz | 05:56 |
| Seven_Six_Two | *citrix | 05:57 |

| Hx2 | any help? | 06:17 |
| Aktiffisus | i have the driver correctly installed and the 3d aceleration works | 06:17 |
| Birdo | Ok... added the xorg repositories and nvidia 310.19 drivers and now I have a black screen after the loading screen..... how can I get to a terminal to remove these? | 06:17 |
| Bodsda_ | Hx2: first thought would be to run firefox from a terminal and redirect the output to a file - force the crasha dn then check if any errors were logged | 06:17 |
| Aktiffisus | but dont know how to see all the temps | 06:18 |
| Aktiffisus | another alternative to p sensors who supports ati | 06:18 |
| Hx2 | Bodsa: Nice suggestion. | 06:18 |
| Bodsda_ | Aktiffisus: anything in tghe ati control panel thing? | 06:19 |
| Aktiffisus | yes i see the ati manager in my plications | 06:19 |
| Bodsda_ | Birdo: similar to this? https://bugs.launchpad.net/ubuntu/+source/nvidia-graphics-drivers-experimental-310/+bug/1093376 | 06:19 |

| Aktiffisus | that indicator appears on the upper panel | 06:20 |
| Aktiffisus | and supports ati | 06:20 |
| Ari-Yang | Aktiffisus, are you using fglrx? | 06:20 |
| Aktiffisus | fglrx | 06:21 |
| Ari-Yang | because if you are, to be honest I don't recommend them, they're horrible :/ | 06:21 |
| Aktiffisus | yes | 06:21 |
| Ari-Yang | but if it's working out just fine for you, okay.... | 06:21 |
| Aktiffisus | i try the drivers provided for ubuntu but no one works for me | 06:22 |
| Aktiffisus | all says AMD not suported | 06:22 |
| Birdo | Bodsda_: Possibly... I just have no idea what to do now that after my loading screen everything goes black. | 06:22 |

| Bodsda_ | Birdo: no - first thing to do is to boot in single user mode and regenerate your xorg.conf with nvidia-settings | 06:24 |
| Aktiffisus | ok i dont insist whith ati gpu temp | 06:24 |
| Aktiffisus | i will ask you another thing | 06:25 |
| Birdo | I just don't understand why the nvidia drivers seem to work perfectly from the Live CD (I can adjust brightness, etc), but when after I install ubuntu, I can't adjust brightness and it's apparently the drivers fault. | 06:25 |
| Aktiffisus | i want to upgrade libre office to lastest version | 06:25 |
| Bodsda_ | Birdo: are you sure the livecd was using the 310 driver and not the open source driver? | 06:25 |
| Birdo | Bodsda_: I'm not sure. Either way, why doesn't it translate to after install? I expected everything to work out of the box since the Live CD did. | 06:26 |

| Bodsda_ | Birdo: I'm assuming the livecd was using the open source driver, and so was your install - after that you installed the proprietary driver and are having issues - can you get to any sort of command prompt? | 06:27 |
| Bodsda_ | Hx2: sure, unlikely but could happen - what DE are you using, unity | 06:28 |
| Bodsda_ | ? | 06:28 |
| Hx2 | happens with unity and gnome 3.8 | 06:28 |
| Hx2 | ubuntu 13.04 | 06:28 |
| Birdo | Bodsda_: I really have no idea how I can. | 06:28 |
| Birdo | Bodsda_: You can't from the grub menu, can you? | 06:29 |
| Hx2 | Bodsda: happen with unity and gnome 3.8 . Ubuntu 13.04 | 06:29 |
| Ben64 | Birdo: you can | 06:29 |
| Bodsda_ | Birdo: there should be an option for single user mode in the grub list when you boot | 06:29 |
| Ben64 | Birdo: or try CTRL+ALT+F1 | 06:29 |
| Bodsda_ | Hx2: sounds like a hardware problem - has it ever happened when using a different browser? | 06:29 |
| Hx2 | Bodsda: nop. Just happened this night with a specific site | 06:30 |
| Bodsda_ | Hx2: reproducable on that site? | 06:30 |

| Bodsda_ | Hx2: unlucky :) | 06:32 |
| Hx2 | Bodsda: Yeah, the driver isnt so good like the one for nvidia. | 06:32 |
| Ari-Yang | why the smile? ^ | 06:32 |
| Bodsda_ | Hx2: drop back to the open source driver and test | 06:32 |
| Ari-Yang | Hx2, are you using open source drivers? or fglrx? | 06:32 |
| Birdo | Bodsda_: There isn't an option, what I found on the Internet was that I have to edit the boot instructions to boot into single user | 06:32 |
| Bodsda_ | Ari-Yang: sarcasm | 06:32 |
| Ari-Yang | because fglrx is just garbage | 06:32 |
| Hx2 | Ari-Yang: fglrx | 06:33 |
| Ari-Yang | yes | 06:33 |
| Ari-Yang | switch back to open source! O: | 06:33 |
| Ari-Yang | fglrx is horrible for me too. open source drivers are 100x better | 06:33 |
| Bodsda_ | Birdo: yeah, they used to give you an entry pre configured for it - now you have to hit 'e' and add 'single' to the end of the boot parameters iirc | 06:33 |
| Hx2 | Ari-Yang: No more gaming :( ? Are you sure OSource drivers are that good? I mean I felt it laggy. | 06:33 |
| Ari-Yang | Hx2, I don't know =/ you'll have to test. If you don't game that often, maybe you can just simply switch back and forth? | 06:34 |
| Ari-Yang | if you're a heavy gamer and game often, then maybe you'll just have to stick with fglrx and just deal with whatever bugs you have ;< | 06:35 |
| Hx2 | Ari-Yang: Im recently new to ATI, usually Ill strick with Nvidia. Propietary drivers for ATi are always that bad? | 06:36 |
| Bodsda_ | Hx2: historically, yes | 06:36 |
| Ari-Yang | yeah, with linux they're bad. | 06:36 |
| Bodsda_ | Hx2: although ATI is getting some attention in the 3.10 kernel release | 06:37 |
| Ari-Yang | I mean when I was on windows on this laptop, I didn't have any graphical problems at all. I dont' have any graphical problems with the open source drivers on ubuntu | 06:37 |
| Hx2 | Bodsda and Ari-Yang: thank you. Will try the open source driver, thanks. | 06:37 |

| beethoven8201 | e.g. with a hex editor | 06:42 |
| beethoven8201 | i.e. some functionality is not visible due to a simple switch | 06:42 |

| MonkeyDust | maui ubuntu has its own software sources, it's called 'repositories' or 'repos' for short | 08:06 |
| auronandace | maui: in windows it is normal to go anywhere to install packages, in linux you use repositories | 08:07 |

| maui | ic auronandace | 08:07 |

| derWachert | hi there | 08:19 |
| derWachert | what is the command line command to show the mouse cursor position? theres a possible binding to the control key but is there also a command avaible to use? | 08:19 |
| dr_willis | derWachert: i recall 'xev' but thts not really a commandline app i think.. but it might have options | 08:21 |
| ActionParsnip | derWachert: http://stackoverflow.com/questions/8480073/how-would-i-get-the-current-mouse-coordinates-in-bash | 08:21 |

| derWachert | theres an setting in the system settings to show the position with a flcikering circlew around the cursor | 08:22 |
| ActionParsnip | derWachert: do you mean to help find it on the screen? | 08:22 |
| derWachert | using the control key | 08:22 |
| derWachert | yes! | 08:22 |
| Mrokii | oye: I guess I'll give KDE another try as Nautilis is seriously annoying. Which package do I have to install for KDE? I mean, which one is the base package? | 08:22 |
| derWachert | and i need to activate this, using a command in an bash file | 08:22 |
| dr_willis | thats a compiz feature.. puts flames around the cursor | 08:22 |
| dr_willis | theres also some gnome setting i recall that can do a 'ping' sort of circle around the pointer | 08:23 |
| maui | when i install a program through the software center of ubuntu, is it not certain that it will go to a repos? | 08:23 |
| dr_willis | maui: to a repo? you install packages FROM repos... | 08:23 |
| ActionParsnip | derWachert: its hard coded too so should work in most distros | 08:23 |
| llutz | Mrokii: have you tried pcmanfm? would be much lighter than installing all the KDE-stuff just to get a filemanager (konqueror, dolphin) | 08:23 |
| maui | so its bad idea installing from anywhere except the software center of ubuntu? | 08:24 |
| Mrokii | llutz: Not sure. I'll take a look, thanks. | 08:24 |

| ActionParsnip | maui: they all use the same backend so use apt-get if you want, it doesn't matter if you switch between | 08:24 |
| derWachert | but i need to activate it using a command line command | 08:24 |
| * maui goes to search repos for ubuntu outside the ubuntu center | 08:24 | |
| dr_willis | maui: then theres a few cases where you download the .deb package and install it instead of using a repo/ppa | 08:24 |

| MonkeyDust | maui if you do that and you ruin your system, you're on your own, non-official sources are not supported | 08:25 |
| derWachert | the problem: i have a bash script usiong xte to bind a special key what does a mouseclick and press+release the control key | 08:25 |
| dr_willis | maui: what software are you looking for? | 08:25 |
| derWachert | so i click one key and it does two | 08:25 |
| derWachert | but thats not wirking in html select fields | 08:25 |
| derWachert | so i would try to start the "control" key effect showing the cursor, using a command line command | 08:26 |
| derWachert | and not emulating the control key | 08:26 |
| MonkeyDust | maui the repos make things safe and easy for the user, why do you want to complicate things? | 08:26 |
| dr_willis | derWachert: im not sure gnome has a command to do that... | 08:26 |
| maui | cause i need to install a windows programme I can't live without | 08:26 |
| dr_willis | maui: you dont use ppas for windows apps... you use WINE to install the windows executables | 08:27 |
| dr_willis | maui: what app are you refering to exactly? | 08:27 |
| MonkeyDust | maui what program would that be? | 08:27 |

| dr_willis | Aktiffisus: try installing and running gkrellm - its a handy little tool thats easy to use. | 08:53 |
| Guest11874 | k | 08:53 |
| Guest11874 | okay | 08:53 |
| Aktiffisus | how to | 08:54 |
| Aktiffisus | sudo apt-get install | 08:54 |
| dr_willis | !info gkrellm | 08:54 |
| ubottu | gkrellm (source: gkrellm): GNU Krell Monitors. In component universe, is optional. Version 2.3.5-3ubuntu1 (raring), package size 764 kB, installed size 2049 kB | 08:54 |
| dr_willis | the 'source' the bot says is the package name to use... | 08:54 |
| dr_willis | so sudo apt-get install gkrellm | 08:55 |
| dr_willis | there might be extra gkrellm plugins also in the repos. | 08:55 |
| dr_willis | so sudo apt-get install gkrellm<tab> may show other packages you may want | 08:55 |
| maui | I can't do the line for 'cd - downloads' | 08:56 |

| dr_willis | Aktiffisus: open a terminak and type 'conky' | 09:14 |
| dr_willis | !conky | 09:14 |
| dr_willis | conky has rather poor defaults. ;) youi will want to make your own custome .conkyrc | 09:15 |
| dr_willis | or try the various ones at the conky web sites | 09:15 |
| Aktiffisus | i type conky on therminal | 09:18 |
| Aktiffisus | and says something | 09:18 |
| Aktiffisus | rare | 09:18 |
| Aktiffisus | can i paste here willis? | 09:18 |

| klander | hi, how do i check if theres a ubuntu package for apache 2.4 + php 5.4 ? | 09:21 |
| klander | sorry, i meant for raring ringtail | 09:22 |
| dr_willis | klander: theres ppa search tools if the version in the repos are to old for you | 09:22 |
| dr_willis | !ppa | 09:22 |
| ubottu | A Personal Package Archive (PPA) can provide alternate software not normally available in the offical Ubuntu repositories - Looking for a PPA? See https://launchpad.net/ubuntu/+ppas - WARNING: PPAs are unsupported third-party packages, and you use them at your own risk. See also !addppa and !ppa-purge | 09:22 |
| maui | the config pane did not come up to me when i put $ sudo dpkg-reconfigure console-data in terminal | 09:23 |
| dr_willis | maui: you dident put in the $ did you? | 09:23 |
| maui | no | 09:23 |
| dr_willis | ;) | 09:23 |
| maui | it just told me which is the chosen lokale, thats all | 09:23 |
| maui | within the termiknal that is | 09:24 |
| dr_willis | i thought you could just logout and select a differnt language at the login screen.. but i only use english.. so have never tried any other languages | 09:24 |
| klander | ok i guess its not out yet | 09:25 |
| klander | ie. theres no official package | 09:25 |
| dr_willis | klander: its very likely there wont ever be an official package. | 09:26 |
| skroon | what would be a good place to store iptables (masquerading) rules? | 09:26 |
| skroon | so that they get loaded again during boot time | 09:26 |
| klander | dr_willis, why is that? | 09:26 |
| dr_willis | klander: because ubuntu dosnet normally update version of packages btween releases | 09:26 |
| dr_willis | except in special cases | 09:26 |
| maui | when i log in, i m not given any options except log in as guest, and put the password | 09:27 |
| MooFz | Anyone who can help me transfering data from my ubuntu-"server" to my NAS? | 09:27 |
| maui | i dont get to choose lokale | 09:27 |
| MonkeyDust | MooFz there's also #ubuntu-server | 09:27 |
| dr_willis | maui: no menus any where on the login screen to select language? | 09:27 |
| dr_willis | MooFz: whats so hard about it? | 09:27 |
| MooFz | dr_willis: I want to know what the fastest way is to transfer about 2TB of data | 09:28 |
| MonkeyDust | MooFz rsync -a is fast | 09:28 |
| dr_willis | MooFz: rsync most likely would be the best way. | 09:28 |
| dr_willis | depends on how the 2 machines are networked also.. they on the same lan? | 09:29 |
| MooFz | I tried Rsync, after 3 days it was on only 70% | 09:29 |
| dr_willis | so in 4 days it would be done. ;) | 09:29 |
| Ben64 | should have waited that last day | 09:29 |
| dr_willis | rsync can resume i belive | 09:30 |
| MonkeyDust | it can | 09:30 |
| Ben64 | rsync -aP | 09:30 |
| dr_willis | 3 days for 2tb.. i think my raspberry pi can do better then that over usb..... | 09:30 |
| dr_willis | it the NAS using a USB hd? | 09:30 |
| Ben64 | dr_willis: 7.716MB/s | 09:31 |
| MooFz | The NAS is using 4 SATA-300 disks | 09:31 |
| MooFz | The "server" and NAS are connected of LAN via 100mbit | 09:31 |
| MooFz | I think my rasp-pi actually has a better CPU than the NAS xD | 09:32 |
| Ben64 | thats probably the fastest it does then | 09:32 |
| MooFz | what does -aP do with rsync? | 09:32 |
| Ben64 | man rsync | 09:32 |
| dr_willis | Hmm. does the pi have gigibit NIC or just 100 mbit? i dont even rember | 09:33 |
| Ben64 | 100 | 09:33 |
| phaidros | hi, since a couple of days my thunderbird is broken in 13.04. it just starts maximized and doesn't give focus back, alt-tab isn't working in that workspace :/ I tried thunderbird-beta already, but lightning and enigmail don't work with that. | 09:33 |
| phaidros | any ideas? | 09:33 |
| maui | ok, because i installed ubuntu yesterday | 09:33 |
| llutz | dr_willis: 100mbit only | 09:33 |
| dr_willis | thats what i was thinking.. | 09:33 |
| maui | can i ask: can i deinstall, reinstall and set up english as os language? | 09:33 |
| phaidros | even the unity panel is not visible .. | 09:33 |
| dr_willis | My Pi does Ok as a DLNA video server. | 09:33 |
| Ben64 | raspberry pi shares bandwidth on lan with usb | 09:33 |
| phaidros | dr_willis: which software do you as dlna server? | 09:34 |
| MonkeyDust | Ben64 what does does -P do with rsync? | 09:34 |
| dr_willis | phaidros: xbmc mainlly.. or i think i played with 'minidlna' also | 09:34 |
| Ben64 | MonkeyDust: man rsync | 09:34 |
| dr_willis | 2 pis working as xbmc boxs - serveing to each other.. one upstairs one down.. | 09:34 |
| MooFz | I use mediatomb as DLNA server | 09:34 |
| llutz | man rsync|less -p \-P | 09:34 |
| llutz | finally rpi camera module is out now, new stuff to play with | 09:35 |
| MooFz | haha, what could u possibly use that for? :P | 09:36 |
| dr_willis | Point it at a fish tank and have a Fish-Cam | 09:36 |
| MooFz | hah | 09:36 |
| llutz | motion-webcam in birdhouses.... | 09:36 |
| dr_willis | or make a Fish shaped underwater robot | 09:36 |
| MooFz | Fishy | 09:37 |
| dr_willis | llutz: been there.. did that.. :) with a Long usb extension cord and a logitech webcam | 09:37 |
| llutz | dr_willis:better with wireless | 09:37 |
| dr_willis | 'robbin-nest-o-cam' | 09:37 |
| dr_willis | nest was on the front porch ;) easy to see | 09:38 |
| MonkeyDust | <°)))>< <-- fish scheme | 09:38 |
| dr_willis | wife wanted to watch it from her bedroom.. duct tape and 30ft of usb... :) | 09:38 |
| llutz | MonkeyDust: poor resolution :) | 09:38 |
| MooFz | Better wait for RASPBMC Kinect plugin | 09:39 |
| dr_willis | bye all | 09:41 |
| MooFz | Rsync -aP doesn't go faster than 1.23MB/s :( | 09:41 |
| MonkeyDust | MooFz I guess rsync is the fastest way you'll find | 09:41 |
| MooFz | faster than FTP? | 09:42 |
| llutz | MooFz: use rsync without ssh-encryption to make it faster | 09:44 |
| MooFz | What is the option? | 09:44 |
| llutz | MooFz: needs rsync-daemon running "rsync -a foo/ rsync://user@host/foo/ | 09:45 |
| llutz | MooFz: see /usr/share/doc/rsync/examples/rsyncd.conf and "man rsyncd.conf" | 09:47 |
| MooFz | Ok thanks! | 09:48 |
| janisozaur | is it possible to see build configuration of subversion package? perhaps a build log? | 09:50 |

| Aktiffisus | they say i must put this to update to libre office 4 | 10:52 |
| Aktiffisus | is that method safe? | 10:52 |
| Aktiffisus | ????? | 10:53 |
| makara | in my miserable experience conservative updates to LTS cause as much problems as updates to the standard distro. Its best just to set security updates to daily and turn the rest off completely. Do an update manually only when you have to. Follow the golden rule 'IF IT AIN"T BROKEN DON"T FIX IT' | 10:53 |
| MonkeyDust | makara your question being?... | 10:54 |
| Squarepy | Aktiffisus, updating a distro is not something I would do lightly | 10:54 |
| makara | you don't need this: sudo apt-get dist-upgrade | 10:54 |
| Dalle4 | Hello | 10:55 |
| makara | MonkeyDust, keep to the topic please | 10:55 |
| MonkeyDust | Aktiffisus easiest would be, to use 13.04 | 10:55 |

| Dalle4 | Anyone also have experienced some network problems with Ubuntu server 13.04? | 10:56 |
| til4k | troulouliou_dev: synaptic maybe? you can use y-ppa-manager | 10:56 |
| MonkeyDust | Aktiffisus especially, if you have a lot of data, back them up regularly | 10:57 |
| troulouliou_dev | til4k, i want to install mdm a gdm fork ; but it is in ubuntu with the same name butit is totally another software | 10:57 |
| troulouliou_dev | mdm official ubbuntu : he Middleman System (mdm) is a set of utilities that help you parallelize your shell scripts | 10:57 |
| til4k | troulouliou_dev: linux mint | 10:57 |

| til4k | so i enabled xorg-edgers because out of the box with ATI Radeon 4650 ( i think i forget) was kinda buggy and proprietary drivers or fglrx or fglrx-amdccle was breaking my system -- voila, better performance | 11:05 |
| Aktiffisus | nobody | 11:05 |
| til4k | but the latest kernel breaks | 11:05 |
| til4k | its best i just leave the new kernel alone and boot into the old one right, rather than messing with uninstalling a new kernel? | 11:06 |
| til4k | or is that a recipe for disaster | 11:06 |
| Aktiffisus | i use propietary drivers and never have problems | 11:06 |
| til4k | ya i have crappy intel laptop intergrated stuff | 11:06 |

| Dr_Willis | ;) | 11:10 |
| til4k | Dr_Willis: dunno | 11:11 |
| Aktiffisus | one cuestion | 11:11 |
| Aktiffisus | if i upgrade to the most recent ubuntu version from my dristro | 11:11 |
| Aktiffisus | i dont loss my configurations and archives? | 11:12 |
| Aktiffisus | files | 11:12 |
| Dr_Willis | Upgradeing the OS - should not touch your configs | 11:12 |
| ActionParsnip | Aktiffisus: no as you will not only have backups, but it only updates the programs | 11:12 |
| ActionParsnip | Aktiffisus: you have made backups, right? | 11:12 |
| Aktiffisus | i have backups | 11:13 |
| ActionParsnip | Aktiffisus: then go crazy :) | 11:13 |
| Aktiffisus | but i deelay 6 hours to backup files | 11:13 |
| Dr_Willis | Aktiffisus: do you really have any specially customized configs worth saveing? ;P | 11:14 |
| marduk_ | how do i create a partition so that i install windowns there? it has to be a ntsf partition | 11:14 |
| Aktiffisus | can i upgrade from 12.04 to most resent version? | 11:14 |
| marduk_ | within ubuntu os | 11:14 |
| Dr_Willis | marduk_: gparted can make a ntfs.. or just leave a unallocated part of the HD free and let windows partion it | 11:14 |
| Aktiffisus | no but i have too much data on my hoe folder | 11:14 |
| Aktiffisus | and pass this again and download again the CD | 11:14 |
| Dr_Willis | Aktiffisus: stuff in your /home/whatever is differnt from 'configuration files' | 11:14 |
| marduk_ | sorry that didnt make sense, when i try to installwindows, it says that my drive is not a ntfs therefre windows cannot be install | 11:15 |
| marduk_ | ed | 11:15 |
| Dr_Willis | Aktiffisus: data worth keeping is data worthbacking up | 11:15 |
| marduk_ | i only have one giant parition on linux for 500 gb | 11:15 |
| marduk_ | how do i cut it half | 11:15 |
| Dr_Willis | marduk_: then you will need to use gparted to resize the partion | 11:15 |
| marduk_ | 250gb linux, and 250 ntsf windows | 11:15 |
| ActionParsnip | marduk_: just leave npartitioned space, the windows installer can then format it | 11:15 |
| Aktiffisus | can i upgrade whith safety to newest distro? | 11:15 |
| MonkeyDust | marduk_ backup, use gparted the change the partitions | 11:16 |
| ActionParsnip | marduk_: you will need to reinstate Grub to the MBR as the Windows installer will blindly overwrite it | 11:16 |
| MonkeyDust | marduk_ backup, use gparted to change the partitions <-- correction | 11:16 |
| ActionParsnip | Aktiffisus: which release are you on now? | 11:16 |
| Dr_Willis | Aktiffisus: theres always risks. | 11:16 |
| Aktiffisus | 12.04 | 11:16 |
| ActionParsnip | Aktiffisus: its a release, the distro is still Ubuntu | 11:16 |
| ActionParsnip | Aktiffisus: you will need to upgrade to 12.10 first, then to 13.04 | 11:17 |
| Aktiffisus | and i can whithout reinstall all os create partitions and burn media instalation? | 11:17 |
| ActionParsnip | Aktiffisus: sure | 11:18 |
| Aktiffisus | how to | 11:18 |
| ActionParsnip | Aktiffisus: 13.04 is EOL before 12.10 though, may want to bear that in mind | 11:18 |
| ActionParsnip | !upgrade | Aktiffisus | 11:18 |
| ubottu | Aktiffisus: For upgrading, see the instructions at https://help.ubuntu.com/community/UpgradeNotes - see also http://www.ubuntu.com/desktop/get-ubuntu/upgrade | 11:18 |
| Aktiffisus | i think ubuntu not are too complicated | 11:18 |
| sparkzhang | hello | 11:19 |
| MonkeyDust | Aktiffisus what you are doing is not the easiest way to get familiar with ubuntu | 11:19 |
| Dr_Willis | i dont even get what hes trying to do... | 11:20 |
| marduk_ | i guess that to partition my ubuntu 500 gb ext4, i must do it via the dvd and not from within ubunt??! | 11:21 |
| MonkeyDust | Dr_Willis use libreoffice 4 on 12.04, with a ppa | 11:21 |
| ubottu | Ubuntu bug 500 in kdegraphics (Ubuntu) "Package description does not match content/dependencies" [Medium,Fix released] https://launchpad.net/bugs/500 | 11:21 |
| AtuM | marduk_, do it offline (via the dvd) if your OS is on that disk and you need to change the root partition.. else you can do it online | 11:22 |
| Dr_Willis | marduk_: you do not resize a partion thats in use. ;) so yes. a live cd will be needed | 11:22 |
| Aktiffisus | if i upgrade relese dont losse programs or files i have one partition for system and other for home | 11:23 |
| Ben64 | Aktiffisus: you should just keep 12.04 | 11:24 |
| Dr_Willis | Aktiffisus: you upgrade the OS.. that has nothing to do with partions really.... you are worrying about way to much | 11:24 |
| Dr_Willis | Aktiffisus: if you want 13.04 - it might be easier to do a clean install however. | 11:24 |
| Aktiffisus | yes i am worrie to loss data or something like that | 11:25 |
| ActionParsnip | Aktiffisus: run the upgrade to 12.10 and you can then upgrade to 13.04 | 11:25 |
| ActionParsnip | Aktiffisus: why you are wanting to leave the LTS rlease is a bit weird. The release you are on is supported til April 2017 | 11:25 |
| MonkeyDust | ActionParsnip because he want libreoffice 4 | 11:26 |
| ActionParsnip | MonkeyDust: that's it!? | 11:26 |
| marduk_ | is 13.04 more convenient for noobs? | 11:26 |
| ActionParsnip | Aktiffisus: you can get LibreOffice4 in Precise if that is ALL you are upgrading for.... | 11:26 |
| ActionParsnip | marduk_: please avoid 'noobs' etc | 11:26 |
| marduk_ | newbies | 11:26 |
| ActionParsnip | marduk_: i'd say Precise was ideal as it is long supported, fewer reinstalls | 11:27 |
| ActionParsnip | marduk_: yes I am fully aware of the term, its just not very nice | 11:27 |
| marduk_ | but i did not come up with the term to insult anyone | 11:27 |
| penos | libre office can't open latest microsoft word document | 11:27 |
| marduk_ | anyways, is Precise a linux that is friendlier to newbies? | 11:28 |
| Aktiffisus | oklet me see if i understand | 11:28 |
| Aktiffisus | can i have libre office 4 on precise ? | 11:28 |
| Aktiffisus | 12.04? | 11:28 |
| Aktiffisus | how? | 11:28 |
| ActionParsnip | Aktiffisus: if all you are upgrading to Raring (via Quantal) is to get LibreOffice4, then I'd hold off and install LibreOffice 4 in Precise. It is fully possible | 11:28 |
| ActionParsnip | Aktiffisus: have you searched the web...at all? | 11:28 |
| ActionParsnip | Aktiffisus: https://www.google.co.uk/search?q=libreoffice+4+Precise&ie=utf-8&oe=utf-8&aq=t&rls=org.mozilla:en-US:official&client=firefox-a&channel=fflb | 11:29 |
| Aktiffisus | yes and someone here giveme a procediment but | 11:29 |
| Aktiffisus | that dont work | 11:29 |
| Aktiffisus | and the other method are from a untrusted resource | 11:29 |
| ActionParsnip | Aktiffisus: can you expand on that, simply saying "didn't work" doesn't tell us much at all | 11:29 |
| ActionParsnip | Aktiffisus: you can add the GPG key and the PPA will be trusted | 11:30 |
| AtuM | ActionParsnip, HE doesn't trust the PPA | 11:30 |
| ActionParsnip | Aktiffisus: sudo add-apt-repository ppa:libreoffice/libreoffice-4-0; sudo apt-get update; sudo apt-get upgrade | 11:30 |
| ActionParsnip | Aktiffisus: works great | 11:31 |

| joe127_ | good day, can anyone help me with a kernel problem ... ? | 12:00 |
| Aktiffisus | i dont know your names are too less visible for me | 12:00 |
| Aktiffisus | i have a trouble | 12:01 |
| ActionParsnip | Aktiffisus: that is why we highlight you by typing a bit of your nick, then hitting TAB | 12:01 |
| Aktiffisus | the upgrade to quanta quetzal starts now | 12:01 |
| joe127_ | my /boot run to 100% so i tried to remove unneeded kernels... apt-get -y purge linux-headers-3.2.0.38 linux-headers-3.2.0.38-generic brings the error message | 12:01 |
| joe127_ | Package linux-headers-3.2.0-38-lowlatency is not installed, so not removed You might want to run 'apt-get -f install' to correct these: The following packages have unmet dependencies: linux-image-server : Depends: linux-image-3.2.0-41-generic but it is not going to be installed E: Unmet dependencies. Try 'apt-get -f install' with no packages (or specify a solution). | 12:01 |
| Aktiffisus | can i cancel it? | 12:01 |
| joe127_ | so i get the list with dpkg dpkg --list |grep linux-image | 12:01 |
| seronis | Dr_Willis, thank you. Didnt realize there was enough 'context' being tracked that I could tab complete package names on the CLI | 12:01 |
| Aktiffisus | stop it? | 12:01 |
| Aktiffisus | the upgrade? | 12:02 |
| Dr_Willis | jhttp://askubuntu.com/questions/2793/how-do-i-to-remove-or-hide-old-kernel-versions-to-clean-up-the-boot-menu check this joe127_ perhaps? | 12:02 |

| oeeve | Hi, is there some clever way to make something almost like a "super" folder. Where all files put inside it (independent of user) becomes chmod 777 ? ... I have tried making the parentfolder 777 -R, but new files put inside it, still belongs to the user who put it there. | 12:02 |
| Dr_Willis | oops.. got an extra j in there.. | 12:02 |
| Dr_Willis | seronis: :) its easy to overlook.. its a nifty trick | 12:02 |
| ActionParsnip | Aktiffisus: let it run and you can remove it if you want. There is no insecurity in this at all | 12:02 |
| ActionParsnip | Aktiffisus: I have no idea at all what you ae flapping about | 12:02 |
| seronis | oeeve, set a cron job to do that ? | 12:03 |
| Aktiffisus | flapping? | 12:03 |
| joe127_ | apt-get install -f showed me the kernels are still there | 12:03 |
| === proby_ is now known as proby | ||
| seronis | oeeve, i DONT recommend that though.. just seems like asking for trouble | 12:03 |
| Squarepy | seronis, wouldn´t it need root? | 12:03 |
| joe127_ | and apt-get autoremove tells me i should to the install -f | 12:03 |
| Aktiffisus | dont understand what are flapping | 12:03 |
| Dr_Willis | joe127_: the url i gave shows several ways to remove all the old kernels. except the current one in use | 12:03 |
| Aaruni | I keep getting this, almost every time I boot my system. I asked here before, and they adviced me to install lsb_release, but no avail. http://edufor.fosspowered.com/img/image.php?di=QXHE | 12:04 |
| joe127_ | ok will check this Dr_Willis | 12:04 |
| seronis | Squarepy, i dont think it would need root if it is for files he already owns in his home dir | 12:05 |
| Muelli | Aaruni: have you filed a bug? | 12:05 |
| ActionParsnip | Aktiffisus: worrying, panicing | 12:05 |
| Aaruni | Muelli: no. how do I do that ? | 12:05 |
| ActionParsnip | Aktiffisus: what are you so concerned about? | 12:05 |
| Muelli | Aaruni: you click "continue" | 12:06 |
| Squarepy | seronis, yes thanks | 12:06 |
| Aaruni | Muelli: I do that every time | 12:06 |
| ActionParsnip | Aktiffisus: some people added the PPA incorrectly and you are seeing the word 'unsecure' and getting worried. This is not any thing unsecure | 12:06 |
| oeeve | seronis It would help me alot, cause i log in from different places ssh, vnc etc, with different users and put files in the home directory of a sftp user i've setup. It would be great if (when on the sftp) could delete files i dont use any more,.. without having to ssh back in with the admin account i used to move the file there .. sort of ... I guess a simple cron job that just runst "chmod | 12:06 |
| oeeve | -R 777 /home/user/uploads" could't hurt ? :/ | 12:06 |
| Muelli | Aaruni: and a browser window on launchpad appears, no? | 12:06 |
| Aaruni | Muelli: no | 12:07 |
| Aaruni | never | 12:07 |
| Muelli | hm Aaruni. weird. | 12:07 |
| Dr_Willis | Aaruni: its possible thats just reporting an OLD error message/log - and its not crashing every time.. You could just disable apport if your system is working properly | 12:07 |
| gag_giluxe | <aerr) | 12:07 |
| Aktiffisus | If i upgrade the programs like skype chromium and teamviwer stay here? | 12:07 |
| Dr_Willis | Aktiffisus: again.. Upgrading to the next release in most cases does NOT remove installed apps. | 12:07 |
| ActionParsnip | Aktiffisus: yes, but you don't need to upgrade Ubuntu to get LibreOffice 4, you can get it in Precise. YOur reason for upgrading to Raring is ridiculous | 12:08 |
| Aaruni | Dr_Willis: will my system be hurt in any way, if I disable apport? like other things, that may not come to my notice ? | 12:08 |
| Dr_Willis | Aaruni: its just an error reporting deamon that can be a bit over zelous | 12:08 |
| Aktiffisus | but i can not stop upgrade or i can stop it? | 12:08 |
| Dr_Willis | http://askubuntu.com/questions/93457/how-do-i-enable-or-disable-apport/93467#93467 | 12:08 |
| Dr_Willis | Aktiffisus: you are doing a upgrade to what exactly? the nexct ubuntu release? | 12:09 |
| Aktiffisus | 12.10 | 12:09 |
| Dr_Willis | Aktiffisus: then let it finish | 12:09 |
| proby | Aaruni, what were you doing before the crash ? | 12:09 |
| Aktiffisus | maybe i format pc in some moths | 12:09 |
| Aktiffisus | jejejeeje | 12:09 |
| proby | " i will" RIP english | 12:10 |
| Dr_Willis | Aktiffisus: if you stop the upgrade befor its donw.. you may end up doing a reinstall. | 12:10 |
| Aaruni | proby: I boot the system, skype, rhythmbox, and gm-notify start (i have set them as startup applications), and that's the time when this error is usually displayed | 12:10 |
| Dr_Willis | proby: i dont think his native language is english anyway. | 12:10 |
| Aktiffisus | Ubuntu can upgrade everytime i want to newest version LTS or not LTS? | 12:11 |
| Dr_Willis | Aaruni: that error report could have came from some time in the past and just never got cleaned out. | 12:11 |
| proby | Aaruni , can you disable those applications one by one to know exactly what is the one doing this ? | 12:11 |
| Dr_Willis | Aktiffisus: the latest lts was 12.04 | 12:11 |
| proby | Dr_Willis, true :) | 12:11 |
| epic_ | is there no juju charms for raring? | 12:11 |
| Dr_Willis | Aktiffisus: so you are not upgradeing to the non-lts release | 12:11 |
| Dr_Willis | now upgradeing.. to | 12:11 |
| Aaruni | proby: a similar setup in a virtual machine never caused the error, but will try that too. | 12:11 |
| Aktiffisus | yes but can i upgrade from not lts relese to lts relese later? | 12:12 |
| Aktiffisus | when it relese (how cacofonic) | 12:12 |
| Dr_Willis | Aktiffisus: you upgrade to the next release... if its lts or not.. dosent matter its the next release.. | 12:12 |
| Dr_Willis | the system is not going to say.. 'nope you cant upgrade to this one.. its LTS...' | 12:13 |
| mahmadur | Can anybody help me how to install ofbiz on ubuntu12.04lts Gui version? | 12:13 |
| proby | mahmadur , what do you need ? | 12:13 |
| Dr_Willis | Aaruni: you could look in /var/crash also and clean out any old crash reports also.. then see if it sees any/makes any new crash reports.. | 12:14 |
| joe127_ | Dr_Willis thanks, i think it solved my troubles.... any short idea to make a check that after the reboot it will boot up again ? | 12:14 |
| Dr_Willis | joe127_: check what? :) i dont rember your original issue | 12:14 |

| kohvihoor | emx: /usr/share/phpmyadmin | 12:24 |
| Dr_Willis | Aktiffisus: if you want to stick with the latest versions of libreoffice and so forth. you most likely will want to always be using the latest ubuntu release | 12:24 |
| Aktiffisus | support for me are you help me if i have one of this | 12:24 |
| proby_ | Joanet , when you try to save a folder , what happens ? | 12:24 |

| auronandace | Aktiffisus: a clean install is usually a better option (more can go wrong with an upgrade) | 12:29 |
| GEre | thank you But I am using dual boot windows and ubutnu | 12:30 |

| ActionPa1snip | mnemonicj: you can port forward a port to another port inside. If your router has to use the same port as the one forwarded to then you will need to match the numbers | 13:05 |

| genesis_ | just trying something | 13:19 |
| ls-al | rich97 , updating ubuntu should give you a 3.8 | 13:19 |

| jdoles | ActionPa1snip: they way I tested that was to use amdccle. | 13:52 |
| jdoles | ActionPa1snip: I asked you to provide evidence that this would solve the problem. | 13:52 |
| jdoles | ActionPa1snip: such evidence would look like for example a webpage with output on an Ubuntu page containing 13.1. | 13:53 |
| ActionPa1snip | jdoles: I just know the commands from the ATi how to page, I don't buy AMD stuff, I think their support is half assed | 13:53 |
| ls-al | jdoles , try it , if it doesn't work take another way ! | 13:53 |

| rcsheets | jdoles: no one is obligated to help you. people are trying their best. | 13:53 |
| jdoles | rcsheets: the topic says this is an Official Ubuntu Support Channel. | 13:54 |
| jdoles | rcsheets: so, it's official, but it's just full of trolls? | 13:55 |
| ActionPa1snip | jdoles: just because you don't get an answer doesn't mean we are trolls | 13:55 |
| ls-al | jdoles , fuck off , you are not asking in the official way , you are not even providing useful informations , go and learn how to use your computer and be back | 13:55 |
| ActionPa1snip | jdoles: maybe try later....thought of that? | 13:55 |
| demoth | jdoles, you look more like a troll than others | 13:55 |
| rcsheets | jdoles: this channel is as official as it gets, but if you need professional support, you should go buy it. this channel is staffed primarily by volunteers. the fact that you are not satisfied with the answers you're getting does not mean anyone is trolling you. | 13:55 |

I can only move the mouse but nothing happens when I click and keyboard input is not accepted. The only way to fix this problem is to ssh into my machine and kill the gnome-session process.

| chipotle | does any version of ubuntu have php5-fpm built into the php5 package, so i don't have to compile from source or use an unofficial repo? | 13:56 |
| jdoles | seronis: that's not evidence. | 13:56 |
| ActionPa1snip | jdoles: those are the commands I gave and are checked by the Wiki guys. | 13:56 |
| seronis | yes. its First Hand Evidence actually. | 13:56 |
| seronis | the best kind | 13:56 |
| ActionPa1snip | jdoles: did you try step 7 on that page? | 13:57 |
| Pici | chipotle: the php5-fpm package provides that functionality | 13:57 |
| jdoles | ActionPa1snip: that website does not contain 13.1 anywhere. | 13:57 |
| jdoles | ActionPa1snip: I asked you for evidence, you have provided none. | 13:57 |
| ActionPa1snip | jdoles: i give up, you are impossible | 13:57 |
| jdoles | ActionPa1snip: that's just a trolling response. | 13:58 |
| ActionPa1snip | jdoles: no, its exasperation | 13:58 |
| jdoles | If I ask on ##windows how to install the latest Windows drivers, the answer is: go to the AMD website, download and install. | 13:58 |
| rcsheets | jdoles: Windows gets slightly better vendor support, for some reason. | 13:58 |
| jdoles | When I ask it here, I get a list of untested ideas. | 13:59 |
| usr13_ | This channel is for information, not philosophy | 13:59 |
| seronis | jdoles, if you want equivilant answer.. the "Go call amd and complain they dont provide drivers" | 13:59 |
| jdoles | seronis: sure, give me the number of their development center. | 13:59 |
| jdoles | seronis: I will call. | 13:59 |
| seronis | 1 800 Let Me Google That For You | 13:59 |
| ActionPa1snip | jdoles: so unless its tested you arent going to use it | 13:59 |
| rcsheets | jdoles: This channel is not a phone book. If you're done here, please leave. | 13:59 |
| ActionPa1snip | jdoles: there is 13.4 on the AMD site, or do you specifically need 13.1? | 13:59 |
| ls-al | i think the open source driver provides support , don't know why people want things that are not explicitly supported | 13:59 |
| jdoles | ActionPa1snip: I don't specially need 13.1 | 14:00 |
| jdoles | ActionPa1snip: as long as it is newer than 13.1. | 14:00 |
| jdoles | ActionPa1snip: >=13.1 | 14:00 |
| ls-al | jdoles : http://www2.ati.com/drivers/linux/amd-catalyst-13.4-linux-x86.x86_64.zip | 14:00 |
| ActionPa1snip | jdoles: then the link in step 7 of the page I gave you has that. You saw the link, right? | 14:00 |
| ActionPa1snip | jdoles: you would get that link that ls-al gave, you've seen that, right? | 14:01 |
| jdoles | ls-al: and yet the wiki screams that people should not install the binary driver from AMD directly in several places. | 14:01 |
| jdoles | You cannot say in one place that people should not do something and then on IRC say that people should do something. You need to pick one of the two. | 14:01 |
| Tritonio | hello. does anyone know which is the proper way to change IO scheduler in an LVM encrpypted installation? | 14:01 |
| ActionPa1snip | jdoles: its just advised, remember the target audience of ubuntu.... | 14:01 |
| ls-al | jdoles , i was able to install it without problems | 14:01 |
| chipotle | does php5-fpm work in 12.04? | 14:01 |
| chipotle | it shows an available packages in packages.ubuntu.com | 14:02 |
| ActionPa1snip | jdoles: it doesn't say you cannot, its just advised to use the packages to discourage users | 14:02 |
| rcsheets | jdoles: There is not some overarching entity that provides consistent advice from the wiki and IRC. | 14:02 |
| jdoles | rcsheets: what a convenient way to escape any kind of responibility. | 14:02 |
| rcsheets | jdoles: Literally *anyone* can join this channel and try to help you. | 14:02 |

| jdoles | I am a troll, because nobody is willing to answer a question which should have a simple answer. | 14:03 |

| rcsheets | jdoles: if you require a higher level of support, please go buy it from Canonical. They'll happily take your money and give you lots of attention. | 14:04 |
| demoth | answer was as simple as download driver from the amd website | 14:04 |
| ActionPa1snip | jdoles: i gave you an answer, the hyperlink ls-al will give you the 13.4 driver which is greater than 13.1 which yo urequire. It is the official driver from the AMD site for your GPU | 14:04 |
| ActionPa1snip | jdoles: what more do you want? | 14:04 |
| jdoles | usr13_: how to install Catalyst >=13.1 on precise(-updates)? | 14:04 |

| A1Recon | Anyone know a way to access the android phone through ubuntu?? | 14:05 |
| jdoles | usr13_: I am also not sure why you made me repeat that question, since you could just have read the scrollback. | 14:05 |
| ActionPa1snip | jdoles: how else can we advise when we have given the link to the actual driver from the manufacturer site....what more can we do? | 14:05 |
| Pici | chipotle: it doesn't come by default, but that doesn't make it unstable. | 14:05 |
| seronis | A1Recon, access how ? | 14:05 |
| usr13_ | jdoles: And you got your answer. | 14:05 |
| ActionPa1snip | A1Recon: access for what? | 14:05 |
| A1Recon | ActionPa1snip: usr13_: The files in Android through the LAN?? | 14:06 |
| ActionPa1snip | A1Recon: you can push them to the box, you may be able to acces it via bluetooth | 14:06 |
| usr13_ | jdoles: Your answer is in: https://help.ubuntu.com/community/BinaryDriverHowto/ATI | 14:06 |
| ActionPa1snip | A1Recon: I just push the files via SFTP to my SFTP server? | 14:06 |
| demoth | A1Recon, use ftpserver on the phone if it is supported | 14:06 |
| jdoles | usr13_: it says that that method is NOT RECOMMENDED. | 14:07 |
| jdoles | usr13_: it doesn't say which method is recommended. | 14:07 |
| maui | i can't use my favorite software in ubuntu | 14:07 |
| maui | so i wonder how would ubuntu ever get popular | 14:07 |
| ls-al | jdoles , please try the not recommended and feedback | 14:07 |
| A1Recon | ActionPa1snip: The SFTP server is running on the same PC as your Ubuntu?? or a separate one?? | 14:07 |
| adamk | jdoles: It is very possible there is no recommended way to get something newer than 13.1 installed. | 14:08 |
| llutz | A1Recon: run sshdroid or any other ssh-server on the phone and access it via sftp/ssh | 14:08 |
| usr13_ | jdoles: You seem like an intelligent person, from the information you've been given, you should be able to make that decision on your own. | 14:08 |
| ActionPa1snip | A1Recon: the same, you can run server apps on a desktop OS | 14:08 |
| jdoles | adamk: instead of NOT RECOMMENDED, it should then say "THE ONLY WAY TO INSTALL". | 14:08 |
| A1Recon | ActionPa1snip: OK | 14:08 |
| jdoles | adamk: NOT RECOMMENDED would suggest there are other ways that are RECOMMENDED. | 14:09 |
| rcsheets | this is a wiki we're talking about? | 14:09 |
| jdoles | rcsheets: a wiki which exists, because Ubuntu is not capable to write documentation. | 14:09 |
| adamk | jdoles: There are recommended ways of installing fglrx. Whether or not they install fglrx 13.1 or higher, I do not know and I do not care. | 14:09 |
| jdoles | rcsheets: don't twist the facts here. | 14:09 |
| usr13_ | jdoles: It's like asking which Linux distribution is recommended. That is a philosophical question. | 14:09 |
| ls-al | jdoles , not true , it is not the only way , you can reverse the process and make it manually , if you think you are smart enough | 14:09 |
| rcsheets | jdoles: how am I twisting facts by asking whether something is a wiki? it's either a wiki or it isn't. | 14:09 |
| jdoles | rcsheets: you know what I mean. | 14:10 |
| rcsheets | jdoles: no, i don't | 14:10 |
| ActionPa1snip | jdoles: yes but 'not recommended' doesn't mean 'never do it ever' | 14:10 |
| jdoles | rcsheets: and if you don't then there is no point in explaining it. | 14:10 |
| OerHeks | jdoles so what is your GPU? | 14:10 |
| ahmadb | Hi . What is the recommended partition size you ? http://tny.cz/8ffe9ebc | 14:10 |
| jdoles | OerHeks: can you stop trolling? | 14:10 |
| jdoles | OerHeks: I don't engage in repeating myself. | 14:10 |
| jdoles | I will try the NOT RECOMMENDED way. | 14:10 |
| ActionPa1snip | ahmadb: 10Gb root (not /root) 2.2Gb swap and the rest for /home | 14:11 |
| OerHeks | jdoles please repeat, because you did not give the answer earlier. | 14:11 |
| ActionPa1snip | jdoles: finally | 14:11 |
| ls-al | jdoles , It is not recommended to always repsect the not recommended | 14:11 |
| gordonjcp | !attitude | jdoles | 14:11 |
| ubottu | jdoles: The people here are volunteers, your attitude should reflect that. Answers are not always available. See http://wiki.ubuntu.com/IRC/Guidelines | 14:11 |
| seronis | ahmadb, personally i put swap as 1.5 - 2.0 times the amount of RAM i have, and the rest to '/'. dont bother beyond that | 14:12 |
| keith-f | what's the meaning of life? | 14:12 |
| rcsheets | jdoles: so it's a wiki, and you think it should say something different, and your reaction is to complain about it? go edit the page so it says what you think it should say. | 14:12 |
| A1Recon | jdoles: OerHeks joined a few minutes ago... And stop being a hothead.....He probably just wants to help... And watch your tone and attitude | 14:12 |
| rcsheets | jdoles: that is the nature of wikis | 14:13 |
| jdoles | A1Recon: there are public logs, that's not an excuse. | 14:13 |
| jdoles | rcsheets: and of course none of the regular people here edit that specific page on the wiki. | 14:13 |
| rcsheets | jdoles: but you can. | 14:13 |
| adamk | jdoles: It seems to me that you will not get the answer you want from this channel or that wiki. Perhaps you would be happier elsewhere? | 14:13 |
| jdoles | rcsheets: If I would, it means I would enter an edit war. | 14:13 |
| rcsheets | jdoles: you can improve the situation instead of simply complaining. but instead, you go on complaining. | 14:13 |
| jdoles | rcsheets: that would subsequently get me banned from the wiki for abuse. | 14:14 |
| ls-al | jdoles , personly i follow the debian wikis | 14:14 |
| jdoles | rcsheets: why would I try to edit the wiki again? | 14:14 |
| delliott | Hi, the GUI on my computer occasionally freezes and I cannot figure out what makes this happen.

| jdoles | rcsheets: I haven't. | 14:15 |
| jdoles | rcsheets: but that's what happens if you do the same on wikipedia. | 14:15 |
| seronis | jdoles is either an intentional troll or has too high a sense of self entitlement that he is an un-intintional troll. can we all just ignore him and his !attitude instead of perpetuating chat around him ? | 14:15 |
| seronis | he cant be satisfied | 14:15 |
| jdoles | seronis: you missed the part where I would try the NOT RECOMMENDED solution. | 14:15 |
| rcsheets | seronis: fair point. time for me to learn how /ignore works on irccloud. | 14:16 |
| jdoles | If you just stop talking to me, that would help. | 14:16 |
| rcsheets | ooh, that's actually quite nice. it even removes his previous messages. | 14:16 |
| rcsheets | irccloud++ | 14:16 |
| usr13_ | ahmadb: Depending on the size of your hard drive, (or amount of space you are allocating), maybe about 15-20G for / and the rest for home. | 14:16 |
| seronis | on hexchat /ignore didnt remove his previous comments but it did silence him | 14:16 |
| ActionPa1snip | delliott: does it happen as a fresh Ubuntu user? Have you tested your RAM using Memtest in Grub? | 14:17 |
| A1Recon | jdoles stop being an ignorant and ungrateful nincompoop... You asked for help and the way I see it people here are helping you. If you wasnt to be spoon fed go use some other OS like Win 7 or iOS . Stop misbehaving and pissing and moaning about Editing a wiki, or doubting over the help resources the people here give you.... | 14:17 |

| jdoles | A1Recon: I am not the one who is ignorant here. | 14:18 |
| Tritonio | does anyone know which is the proper way to change IO scheduler in an LVM encrpypted installation? | 14:18 |
| maui | action, i can, but i have to leave freenode first | 14:18 |
| usr13_ | ahmadb: Or substitute 15-20g for 20-30G if you think you may install lots and lots of apps. It's possible to consume even more, but not likely | 14:18 |
| delliott | ActionPa1snip: I don't know about it happening with a fresh Ubuntu user and that might take me many days to determine, however, I can quickly Memtest from boot. Be back in 5 minutes. | 14:18 |
| maui | in mirc you can log to additional networks | 14:18 |
| A1Recon | jdoles: WOW !! within all that time you spent arguing about help resources, did you even bother to try to solve your problem?? | 14:19 |
| k1l_ | maui: its possible with xchat | 14:19 |
| k1l_ | maui: just open a new server tab. thats all | 14:19 |

| llutz | A1Recon: sftp is ftp over ssh (basically), ftps/secure ftp is ftp using ssl | 14:34 |

| jones-za_ | Linus is not using KDE anymore durrrr | 14:35 |
| ls-al | jones-za_ , make an autologin for cli , than startx automaticly , otherwise you can use gdm autologin which is easy to find at google | 14:35 |

| delliott | Hi, the GUI on my computer occasionally freezes. When it freezes, I can move the mouse but nothing happens when I click and keyboard input is not accepted. The only way I can fix this problem is to ssh into my machine and kill the gnome-session process. I am using Ubuntu 13.04 on a Dell Optiplex 790. What steps can I take to debug this issue? I followed ActionPa1snip's advice and ran Memtest from grub but it found no errors. | 15:10 |
| jones-za_ | is mate supported on ubuntu 12.04? | 15:10 |
| Thurin1 | jones-za_: Nothing but Unity is supported by the company | 15:11 |
| Thurin1 | jones-za_: If you mean can you use it? Sure, I see no reason why not. | 15:11 |
| Thurin1 | You can use whatever you want. | 15:11 |
| jones-za_ | right but it's not offically supported I guess? | 15:11 |
| Thurin1 | jones-za_: Nope | 15:11 |
| Kostic | Thurin1, I thought that this is the *community* channel. | 15:11 |
| jones-za_ | hmmm I'm getting a headache, thanks for the answer though | 15:12 |
| Thurin1 | Kostic: It is, but I forgot the name of the company that produces Ubuntu. | 15:12 |

| Kostic | Thurin1, Microsoft. :P | 15:12 |
| Thurin1 | Kostic: Hah | 15:12 |
| Thurin1 | Canon something | 15:13 |
| Kostic | Cool. Bot didn't bitch-slapped me for using the micro and soft word. | 15:13 |
| jones-za_ | So is the Ubuntu user base not as strong now days or something because of so many changes everyone is switching to other distros? | 15:13 |
| Kostic | Thurin1, Canonomazing? | 15:13 |
| Kostic | Canonostatius? | 15:13 |
| Thurin1 | I switched to Slackware and then Arch a while back... 2009 about. | 15:13 |
| Thurin1 | But I come back to this channel every once in a while because when I was starting out with Ubuntu I got a lot of help here. | 15:14 |
| jones-za_ | yeah there is a lot of help here but it seems like Ubuntu is slowing dying or something | 15:14 |
| lmat | There's a good VM alternative? Active something? That virtualizes an environment for an alternative OS or something? | 15:14 |
| Thurin1 | jones-za_: It's still a strong base, probably the largest for Linux distros honestly. | 15:14 |
| Kostic | Thurin1, I have work so I am not able to employ my free time in building arch system. And, I do not need much: Xchat, Firefox, Thunderbird, Skype, Gimp, couple of terminals and Vim. :) | 15:14 |
| jones-za_ | lmat: virtualbox, vmware, lkvm? | 15:15 |
| baldfat | jones-za_: Just the ups and downs of distros happens all the time just a big down in terms of PR for ubuntu right now | 15:15 |
| Thurin1 | jones-za_: I think that's exagerrated. Some people got mad at Unity and left, which is pretty silly... Ubuntu is Linux.. they could put whatever DE/WM they want. | 15:15 |
| Kostic | jones-za, Ubuntu is doing fine. ;) | 15:15 |
| lmat | jones-za_: But not a vm software...like...eh, someone said "Stop messing with VMs, just use active-...[?]"? | 15:15 |
| Thurin1 | The problem I guess is a lot of Ubuntu users are new to linux... so they aren't comfortable leaving the default DE. | 15:15 |
| jones-za_ | I think it has a lot to do with Unity / Gnome 3 | 15:16 |
| Thurin1 | jones-za_: Also... when you're at the top you make enemies, like Ubuntu heh. | 15:16 |
| Kostic | Hah, I actually like Unity. It makes me productive. Also, I use LXDE on other machine and on my Asus eeepc x101 I use ubuntu-server+Xorg+lightdm+XMonad. | 15:16 |
| Thurin1 | jones-za_: I prefer Gnome 3 personally. | 15:17 |

| FusionX | auronandace, okay | 15:21 |
| ActionPa1snip | FusionX: you don't need a burner for that, you want unetbootin | 15:21 |
| FusionX | ActionPa1snip, yeah, I tried ubuntu software centre to install it but it doesn't work since like you mentioned it is EOL | 15:22 |
| auronandace | FusionX: 10.10 didn't have the software centre | 15:22 |

| mariop | Kostic, using aptitude i have been not able to find useful information | 15:23 |
| OerHeks | !aptitude | 15:23 |
| ubottu | aptitude is another terminal-based front-end to APT. You may encounter problems on multiarch installs (11.10 and 12.04) as aptitude cannot handle the same package with different architectures being installed at the same time. See http://pad.lv/831768 for more information. | 15:23 |
| Kostic | mariop, sorry, I can't help you with this. | 15:23 |
| auronandace | FusionX: are you sure you don't mean synaptic? | 15:23 |
| FusionX | auronandace, oh, sorry, I think it is synaptic but the title says ubuntu software centre | 15:24 |
| FusionX | anyway, how do I install brasero after extracting the tar.gz? | 15:24 |
| minimec | FusionX: If you change your /etc/apt/sources.list file, you can still install the old packages for your EOF distro. Like that you could install the software you need... | 15:24 |
| minimec | FusionX: http://superuser.com/questions/339537/where-can-i-get-therepositories-for-old-ubuntu-versions | 15:24 |
| auronandace | FusionX: we already told you, you are using an unsupported release, so no support for you here | 15:25 |
| mariop | Kostic, it seems to be some wrong dependency in the .deb that conflicts only with quantal backports, i think this is a ubuntu problem given that the same .deb works on 12.04.1. Do you know a more specific place where i can ask about this? | 15:25 |
| auronandace | FusionX: we will happily help you with supported releases | 15:25 |
| FusionX | minimec, thanks, I'll try that | 15:26 |
| Kostic | mariop, no. | 15:26 |
| rcsheets | i found the answer to my question. yay. it's /TitleIndex | 15:26 |
| minimec | FusionX: Still... I would move to a 'supported' version as soon as possible. | 15:26 |
| FusionX | minimec, yeah this is temporary | 15:27 |
| FusionX | auronandace, can you atleast tell me how to install brasero with tar.gz, that's unrelated to the version | 15:27 |
| auronandace | !checkinstall | 15:27 |
| ubottu | checkinstall is a wrapper to "make install", useful for installing programs you compiled. It will create a .deb package, which will be listed in the APT database and can be uninstalled like other packages. See https://help.ubuntu.com/community/CheckInstall - Read the warnings at the top and bottom of that web page, and DO NOT interrupt CheckInstall while it's running! | 15:27 |

| rhys | BluesKaj, that isn't what I asked. but hey, nvm. I think I'll just try to downgrade. | 16:07 |
| BluesKaj | nautilus is a file manager , rhys | 16:08 |
| rhys | you are correct. | 16:09 |

| rhys | BluesKaj, i've been a linux admin for a couple of years now. I'm very familiar with how to access and manage NFS. I was asking about Nautilus. Thanks though. | 16:12 |
| zamba | i'd like to check if an ip address is in a network.. i see the mention of the netaddr module, but that's not part of the standard library, no? | 16:12 |
| zamba | eeeh | 16:12 |
| zamba | wrong # | 16:12 |
| BluesKaj | rhys, the exported files should show in nautilus | 16:13 |

| skulltip | neekz0r - i paid for X3 reunion package containing the 3 games, was hoping the third one would be available and it wasn't for awhile until last night, showed up in steam as installable | 16:14 |
| BluesKaj | rhys, ok , nm , I=if you know how NFS works then you shoiuld know how to access them thru nautilus , but I'll leave to figure that out for yourself since you already know about NFS and how it works | 16:15 |
| ActionPa1snip | zamba: if you have access, you can use nmap to scan the subnet, or simply ping the IP | 16:16 |

| MonkeyDust | Ashael what kernel in what release? | 16:33 |
| Ashael | 3.9.2 on raring | 16:33 |
| Ashael | generic kernel | 16:33 |
| Ashael | not the ubuntu one | 16:33 |
| MonkeyDust | Ashael sound unsupported to me | 16:33 |
| mdfe | check the kernel config to see if it has wifi support | 16:33 |
| Ashael | how can i revert to the old kernel? | 16:33 |
| MonkeyDust | Ashael you've been experimenting, i guess you're on your own, now | 16:34 |
| mdfe | Ashael: In /boot you probably have a confg-3.9.whatever file. | 16:34 |
| Ashael | MonkeyDust: I was trying to solve another problem, and that was the suggested solution on several forums :( | 16:34 |
| MonkeyDust | Ashael try deleting the current kernel and installing a supported one | 16:34 |
| mdfe | check that file, to see if there's wifi support | 16:34 |
| OerHeks | Ashael, first boot in the old kernel, then remove | 16:35 |
| mdfe | Ashael, next time you build a kernel, first save the configuration form the old old, and apply it to the new one. it's "make oldconfig" i think | 16:35 |
| Ashael | ok, ubuntu doesn't go through grub on startup, how do i go through grub to load the old kernel? | 16:35 |

| nedbat | Enich: you don't get a \n\r on your serial port? | 18:37 |
| llutz | Malgorath: you'd better ask in ##windows how to fix the bootloader then | 18:37 |

| Malgorath | llutz, thanks for the link but again no windows 8 boot cd, the recovery dvds only allow it to boot directly into restore | 18:40 |

| noiro | wilee-nilee: so....I can't apt-get it? | 18:40 |
| Myrtti | noiro: sure you can | 18:41 |
| wilee-nilee | noiro,Not I never use it, however if you install it from google it updates havng added a link in your sources.list.d | 18:41 |
| Myrtti | noiro: you can either use chromium which is in the repositories, or go to chrome.google.com and get it from there, the debian package should add the sources for updates to sources.list.d automatically | 18:42 |
| subnetwi | if anyone could help me out, possibly walk me through this netinstall that would be greatly appreciated, i've tried it from several machines and always the same problem, 'no dhcp offers received' on the client machine i'm trying to install ubuntu on | 18:42 |

| subnetwi | i've read through several manuals on the process and i've followed them bit by bit | 18:42 |
| subnetwi | gordonjcp: well the client machine i'm trying to install ubuntu on has no OS at all so couldnt do that from there, but yes i can ping from the host machine | 18:43 |
| subnetwi | i'm not quite sure why its saying no dhcp offers received as I do have dhcp and tftpd both running | 18:44 |

| Ari-Yang | I think I'll go with conservative for a while. | 19:00 |

| Felishia | I'm wondering | 19:50 |
| Ben64 | its a cheapy card, it can't do more than 2 | 19:50 |
| Felishia | if I can run ubuntu-minimal | 19:50 |

| v0lksman | luke_: I won't be around much longer...I believe your problem is that nouveau drivers are still installed. but your best bet is to try to let Ubuntu install the nvidia driver through the package manager | 19:53 |

| hero | DJones: yes, but I am sure it's an apt issue. and apt is common to ubuntu as much and so to debian | 20:03 |

| ubottu | To replicate your packages selection on another machine (or restore it if re-installing), you can type « aptitude --display-format '%p' search '?installed!?automatic' > ~/my-packages », move the file "my-packages" to the other machine, and there type « sudo xargs aptitude --schedule-only install < my-packages ; sudo aptitude install » (this may cause problems with multiarch before 12.10) - See also !automate | 20:07 |

| luke_ | we just had this conversation about drivers, i updated to nvidia drivers and everything stopped working, ive installed bumblebee and its all working again | 20:10 |

| ohnoididitagain | adamk, when I typed run skype it said command not found, and when I typed skype it said segmentarion fault :/ | 20:11 |

| th0r | bojje, a small script with the rsync command, and then a cron job to schedule execution of the script. | 20:48 |

| clcto | mzaza: probably somewhere in /sys ? | 20:52 |
| th0r | the8thbit, you wrote the interfaces file for WPA.....WPA2 needs wpa_supplicant. It will the same info....but for a different program | 20:52 |
| mzaza | away: yes | 20:53 |

| FroMaster | I was provided a VMware VM that has Ubuntu 12.04.1 LTS as its base and kernel 3.2.0-30-generic. VMware only provided VMware-Tools for 3.2.0-23/3.2.0-29 not the one I have. The VM is an appliance and thus has unnecessary components removed. Trying to get the Kernel-headers & build-essentials is not possible. I'm trying to find the difference between 3.2.0-30-generic & 3.2.0-29-generic to see if | 21:11 |
| FroMaster | I can upgrade the kernel and apply the vmware-tools packages via apt-get. Thoughts/ideas?! | 21:11 |
| elky | mrrob, could you take a look at the guidelines for the channel please, they're in the /topic | 21:11 |
| the8thbit | th0r: "network mangler" :P | 21:11 |
| th0r | clcto, the8thbit I liked wicd, but heard it isn't being developed any further | 21:11 |
| clcto | th0r: oh didnt know | 21:12 |
| the8thbit | clcto: Is wicd like nmcli or like NetworkManager? | 21:12 |
| th0r | the8thbit, like NM | 21:12 |
| the8thbit | th0r: I have networkmanager running | 21:12 |
| th0r | the8thbit, and in all fairness, network manager has gotten a lot better lately | 21:12 |
| the8thbit | I just dont know how to use nmcli, which is a cli tool for configuring it | 21:13 |
| the8thbit | and I don't know of any other nm config tools for tty | 21:13 |
| th0r | the8thbit, you might just set up autologon and let nm configure the network for you | 21:13 |
| the8thbit | th0r: I'd love to do that, but I don't know how | 21:14 |
| clcto | the8thbit: wicd-cli | 21:14 |
| th0r | the8thbit, what environment are you running? unity? xfce? gnome? | 21:14 |
| the8thbit | th0r: XBMC | 21:14 |
| th0r | the8thbit, right...forgot | 21:15 |
| the8thbit | Which may as well be equivalent to "none" | 21:15 |
| clcto | the8thbit: wicd includes wicd-curses too which is a curses based interactive setup | 21:16 |
| Wulf | Hi | 21:16 |
| Wulf | I get "Failed to fetch http://archive.ubuntu.com/ubuntu/dists/maverick/main/binary-amd64/Packages.gz" and similar. I know that it's no longer supported, but are the files still accessible until one day I manage to upgrade? | 21:17 |
| clcto | is /media still the standard for mounting partitions? | 21:17 |
| clcto | sry wrong channel | 21:17 |
| hari_ | i want to install ubuntu by completely reoving windows, formatting my harddisk. I don't know anything about partitioning in linux. DO i have to worry about it if i am using the complete hard disk( I am installing it as a stand alone OS) | 21:19 |
| FroMaster | How can I install some software and create a package out if it so I can install it on another system? | 21:20 |
| clcto | hari_: not particularly, but a separate partition for /home is recommended | 21:20 |
| th0r | FroMaster, I think it is remastersys | 21:20 |
| maui | how long will it take til i know ubuntu well? | 21:20 |
| th0r | maui, how smart are you? | 21:21 |
| hari_ | i have a 1TB hard disk....so what should be my partition generally, swap space( i don't know anything abt it) , root, etc. | 21:21 |
| FroMaster | th0r: I'm was thinking a package that i can install via apt-get | 21:21 |
| === prime is now known as Guest57575 | ||
| maui | thor, i dont think thats the issue | 21:21 |
| maui | im concerned about time, i dont have much time/brain free for more study | 21:21 |
| th0r | FroMaster, I think the name of the package is remastersys. It will do what you want, but I am not sure of the exact name | 21:21 |
| clcto | swap=size of ram, /home is where most of your documents and such will be, and / will be where your programs install to | 21:22 |
| th0r | maui, well, you get out what you put in | 21:22 |
| maui | is there online a school for ubuntu thats interesting for someone clueless? | 21:22 |
| thecodeischaos | if i can run the 64 bit iso on a live usb stick does that mean my system is 64 bit? | 21:22 |
| maui | i dont get the command line stuff | 21:23 |
| thecodeischaos | because it works... but i think my system is 32 bit? | 21:23 |
| auronandace | maui: when you have an itch to scratch thats when you learn | 21:23 |
| clcto | maui: just slowly migrate over to it. ie start using it for filemanagement and installing packages | 21:23 |
| brainwash | thecodeischaos: yes, has to be a 64 bit system | 21:23 |
| thecodeischaos | it is AMD Dual-Core Processor E-450 (1.65 GHz), AMD M1 Chipset, | 21:24 |
| thecodeischaos | shouldnt this be 32 bit | 21:24 |
| hari_ | clcto : Is there any web resource for exclusively about installing ubuntu as a stand alone OS, I have found all the articles dealing with alongside windows. | 21:24 |
| anonymous_ | supp | 21:25 |
| th0r | FroMaster, http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Remastersys | 21:25 |
| paolo | sera | 21:25 |
| paolo | bb | 21:25 |
| maui | im still using my old netbookwith windows | 21:25 |
| maui | slow migration is the only way | 21:25 |
| maui | for those clueless about programming | 21:25 |
| maui | and command prompt stuff | 21:25 |
| clcto | hari_: just follow the install. there really isnt much difference | 21:26 |
| auronandace | maui: there is no quick and easy way, if you want to learn then you'll learn | 21:26 |
| thecodeischaos | for a 1.6ghz dual core processor, if it runs 64 bit should i use 64 bit iso? or because my cpu is low 32 bit will run better? | 21:26 |
| anonymous_ | i crack to my techar computr lol:-) | 21:26 |
| hari_ | what would happen if i didnt partition at all. What difference will it make? | 21:26 |
| clcto | maui: its just command [options] [parameters] usually. you can use <cmd> -h for a short help page or man <cmd> for a more in depth one | 21:26 |
| FroMaster | th0r: Not quite what I'm looking for. I want to install Kernel-headers, build-essentials and complile VMware-Tools from source and then package them up for installation on 30 other identical (and already configured) virtual machines | 21:26 |
| nas | Hi | 21:27 |
| anonymous_ | hei! | 21:27 |
| clcto | hari_: if you have one partition of type ext4 you will be fine | 21:27 |
| maui | heisann | 21:27 |
| nas | I'm trying to boot Ubuntu from a flash drive, I changed it to the top of my boot priority list, but it still says Missing operating system | 21:27 |
| hari_ | ok..and is it necessary to make swapspace | 21:27 |
| nas | BOOTMGR is missing | 21:27 |
| maui | is bottmgr in the flash? | 21:28 |
| maui | check it out | 21:28 |
| clcto | hari_: not NECESSARY, but if you want hibernate it must be the size of your ram at least | 21:28 |
| Bodsda_ | nas: its not booting from usb then - thats a windows error | 21:28 |
| hari_ | ok..thanks | 21:28 |
| nas | How to I get it to boot from my USB | 21:28 |
| brainwash | thecodeischaos: the 32bit version is recommended, but you can run the 64bit version without any down sides | 21:28 |
| clcto | nas: how did you put it on your usb? | 21:28 |
| maui | nas, is it a netbook? | 21:29 |
| hari_ | anything else i need to know before i dive in with the installation...i am kinda scared | 21:29 |
| th0r | FroMaster, you can fetch the deb files for build-essentials and such from the cache, or use aptoncd to create a cd with all those on it. You can create a deb from the compiled source...you do the make, but instead of make install you do something else, but I don't recall the command. It builds and installs a deb from your compiled source. | 21:29 |
| maui | cause if you have the choice of a cd, go for it... | 21:29 |
| maui | i failed to boot from usb | 21:29 |
| thecodeischaos | thanks brainwash ill try the 32bit then | 21:29 |
| nas | unetbootin | 21:29 |
| thecodeischaos | mainly i just want to do android development and music production. so i dont think i need 64 bit | 21:29 |
| clcto | hari_: you will be able to use internet while it installs if you have questions (at least most likely) | 21:29 |
| th0r | FroMaster, so once you have all those installed, just use aptoncd to create a cd of the debs with a metapackage. Install the metapackage on each vm and it will install all the debs | 21:29 |
| nas | It's a 15 inch lapto | 21:29 |
| nas | It's a 15 inch laptop | 21:29 |
| maui | it does not have a cd rom drive then | 21:30 |
| hari_ | ok..thanks clcto | 21:30 |
| nas | It does have one | 21:30 |
| brainwash | thecodeischaos: you might want to read this wiki article https://help.ubuntu.com/community/32bit_and_64bit | 21:30 |
| maui | then go prepare a cd with ubuntu | 21:30 |
| maui | much easier | 21:30 |
| nas | But I don't have a disk large enough for it | 21:30 |
| thecodeischaos | thanks brain will read it now | 21:30 |
| nas | My flash drive is 16 GB | 21:30 |
| maui | buy a dvd rw | 21:30 |
| nas | I can't just go to the store anytime | 21:30 |
| maui | wait then | 21:31 |
| maui | you go tomorrow to the store | 21:31 |
| nas | meh | 21:31 |
| th0r | FroMaster, the command is checkinstall ... http://askubuntu.com/questions/140998/compiling-source-into-a-deb-package | 21:31 |
| maui | problem solved:) | 21:31 |
| the8thbit | clcto: How can I make my computer use wicd instead of nm at boot? | 21:32 |
| Bodsda_ | the8thbit: installing wicd used to remove network manager | 21:32 |

| k1l | nas: what is the problem again? | 21:33 |
| aakka | I just did a fresh install of ubuntu 13.04 and flash doesn't work at all when trying to watch videos on youtube. Does anyone have any suggestions on how to fix it? | 21:34 |
| Bodsda_ | aakka: sudo apt-get install flashplugin-nonfree | 21:35 |
| aakka | is that a different version of flashplugin installer? | 21:35 |
| Bodsda_ | aakka: dunno, what other have you tried? | 21:36 |
| aakka | sudo apt-get install flashplayer installer | 21:36 |
| aakka | i've also tried to install the plugin for firefox from the software center | 21:37 |
| clcto | https://help.ubuntu.com/community/WICD | 21:37 |

| nas | k1l: Okay, my laptop doesn't have Windows on it… I'm trying to boot Ubuntu via flash drive on the computer. It says Operating System missing | 21:37 |
| aakka | Bodsda_, should i uninstall the adobe flash player plugin for firefox first? | 21:37 |
| k1l | nas: how did you put ubuntu on that flash drive? and is it a stick or a hdd? | 21:38 |
| tsk0 | Hello, i have already installed postgresql but it doesn't work. when i try to create a db it tell me 'could not change directory to "/home/user'. anyone can help me? | 21:38 |
| Bodsda_ | aakka: shouldn't need to, but it won't hurt to do that first, sure | 21:38 |
| nas | k1l: hdd | 21:38 |
| nas | unetbootin | 21:38 |
| maui | something like picasa in repos? | 21:38 |
| maui | any suggestion? | 21:38 |
| k1l | nas: make sure the hdd is fully powered and in full running speed when the system bios looks out for the ubuntu | 21:39 |
| k1l | !enter | maui | 21:39 |
| ubottu | maui: Please try to keep your questions/responses on one line. Don't use the "Enter" key as punctuation! | 21:39 |
| nas | k1l: How do I make it fully powered? | 21:39 |
| maui | someone has a suggestion for a tool exactlyh like picasa in repos? | 21:40 |
| k1l | nas: a possible error is, that the hdd is still in spinning up and not at full speed ad that time | 21:40 |
| nas | hmm | 21:40 |
| k1l | maui: so start the hdd some seconds before or reboot the laptop and try again | 21:40 |
| maui | surely not | 21:41 |
| maui | i had same problem with nas, a cd saved me | 21:41 |
| maui | btw,my usb from 16 gb, now shows 64 mb as total space although its empty | 21:41 |
| nas | sigh | 21:41 |
| k1l | maui: it is a possible error, when calling " no operating system". | 21:41 |

| ChrisOfBristol | It's a dell dimension 1100 and same thing happens with mint-cinnamon-14 | 21:55 |
| Computron_ | hei | 21:55 |
| ChrisOfBristol | mint-cinnamon-14 USB doesn't work I mean. | 21:55 |
| k1l | well, we cant support mint in here. | 21:55 |
| Dr_Willis | it depends on what 'dosent work' ChrisOfBristol | 21:56 |
| Dr_Willis | I would be trying out the latest releases also.. not the old old releases | 21:56 |
| ChrisOfBristol | I'm not asking you to support Mint, I am using it as an example of the fact that USB doesn't seem to work on several Ubuntu based distributions. In particular Xubuntu 10.10. | 21:56 |
| Dr_Willis | ChrisOfBristol: depending on whats not working.. it could be anything from a bad iso image file., or a tool that put it on the usb incorrectly. or some odd driver bug... | 21:58 |
| k1l | ChrisOfBristol: that exactly xubuntu is out of support since some time. i would strongly recommend to test the supported ones first. maybe the issue is not a issue at all, now | 21:58 |
| OerHeks | ChrisOfBristol, give us more details about your usb: does usb live boot into flashing cursor, or does usb not work in your live session? | 21:58 |
| vanishing | man..why is it so hard to patch 3.9 kernel with ck patches.. | 21:59 |
| ChrisOfBristol | DrW: Ubuntu 13.04 wouldn't run - I guessed that it was too much for the graphics chip, so went back in time to make sure that the version would run on that chip. | 22:00 |
| Casey | Hello, does somebody have a minute? | 22:00 |
| k1l | Casey: just ask a specific ubuntu support question | 22:00 |
| Casey | Oh, sorry. Never used this before. | 22:01 |
| ChrisOfBristol | A quick tryout of the menus suggests that they are working, just the USB hardware doesn't - USB mouse, USB ASDL modem. | 22:01 |
| vanishing | Casey: sup? | 22:01 |
| vanishing | :D | 22:01 |
| Casey | I'm trying to download things, but when I do, I'm having issues installing | 22:01 |
| vanishing | Casey: can you be more specific?like what are you downloading, and how are you installing it | 22:02 |
| Dr_Willis | !manual | Casey | 22:02 |
| ubottu | Casey: The Ubuntu Manual will help you become familiar with everyday tasks such as surfing the web, listening to music and scanning documents. With an emphasis on easy to follow instructions, it is suitable for all levels of experience. http://ubuntu-manual.org/ | 22:02 |
| Dr_Willis | Its vague question day it seems.. ;) | 22:02 |
| k1l | ChrisOfBristol: usb mouse should run. usb modem maybe needs some special driver or module | 22:02 |
| Casey | Alright, well....I'll just read the manual I guess. Thanks. | 22:02 |
| vanishing | Dr_Willis: are you familiar with patching kernels? | 22:03 |
| k1l | Casey: with specific questions you get more specific answers. with just "program" and "problem" we can only point to the "manuals" | 22:04 |
| vanishing | most likely its a chmod problem for him I think..:D | 22:04 |
| Dr_Willis | vanishing: Ive not had to recompild the kernel in ages.. I did use a 3.9 kernel ppa/ (or was it deb files) for my system to get hdmi sound working | 22:04 |
| Casey | Um, Okay, Well I'm on Paint.Net and I'm trying to download the program, so...what do I do after it's downloaded? | 22:05 |
| Kitzune | I'm trying to help someone install flash on 9.04, what's the best way for them to do that? | 22:05 |
| ChrisOfBristol | DrW: Since I have tried several CDs (and those on another PC) I don't think it was the ISO. I don't think it is a driver problem as it's not only the modem but the mouse as well and that's a fairly simple thing. | 22:06 |
| Dr_Willis | Kitzune: theres a flash-installer package in the repos.. but I think you would be better off using a newer verison of ubuntu. | 22:06 |
| vanishing | Dr_Willis: I see... | 22:07 |
| vanishing | Casey: what file did you download | 22:07 |
| vanishing | Casey: like..deb? tar.gz? .bin? | 22:07 |
| ChrisOfBristol | I take the point about trying a newer version - what is the latest I can try that would work with an older graphics chip? I know U13.04 is too much for it. | 22:07 |
| Casey | One second | 22:07 |
| Kitzune | Yeah, but say they didn't want to upgrade for some odd reason. Could they just download from adobe and extract it and install it? | 22:08 |
| k1l | ChrisOfBristol: try the LTS version 12.04 | 22:08 |

| Casey | Yes. | 22:08 |

| IsmAvatar | kvothetech: you mean when I insert/eject a CD? Nope. | 22:20 |
| kvothetech | IsmAvatar: try /dev/sr0 | 22:20 |
| Dr_Willis | pop it in.. run 'dmesg' a few moments later.. look for some info messages about the cd | 22:20 |
| kvothetech | Dr_Willis: he said it doesn't say anything about it.... | 22:20 |
| kvothetech | IsmAvatar: does your cd drive work/powered on etc | 22:21 |
| IsmAvatar | kvothetech: sr0 doesn't exist. And yes, my CD drive is powered and works great on windows. Ubuntu is just temperamental about it for some reason. | 22:21 |
| jackinacker | Hi- I've got a weird problem. I cant seem to get rid of this mail icon in the upper right hand corner of the screen | 22:22 |
| jackinacker | somehow i set it to open reddit... i havent a clue how i did that | 22:22 |
| kvothetech | jackinacker: right click delete? | 22:23 |
| Dr_Willis | jackinacker: Hmm.. not even sure how you would do that. ;) its an IM messinger type icon.. not just mail | 22:23 |
| fps | oh wow, this hasn't happened in ages with any linux distro. installed 13.04 to my new ssd and it doesn't boot.. | 22:23 |
| kvothetech | jackinacker: or right click edit panel depending on the de | 22:23 |
| fps | grub seems to be confused | 22:23 |
| jackinacker | hrmm... nothing happens when i right click the icon | 22:24 |
| fps | the cursor blinks on a black screen (post BIOS) and it does on CR, then it just hangs.. | 22:24 |

| fps | IsmAvatar: i found some article on the subject.. trying that first.. | 22:27 |
| IsmAvatar | kk | 22:27 |
| misterx | i f*cked up my X11 and would appreciate some help here: some hours ago i started steam and was asked if i wanted to get the latest nvidia-driver. i'm sure i clicked on "no" but the system was very slow for some minutes (nearly frozen; part-time frozen) and after reboot i never got X11 back | 22:28 |
| Dr_Willis | tyrog: a fix is supposed to be comming out.. or i just used the 3.9 kernel and that fixed it. (got the info on it at askubuntu.com) | 22:28 |
| misterx | re-installed the nvidia-driver but that didnt help | 22:28 |
| misterx | with an older kernel, i come up to the desktop-manager but cant log-in | 22:28 |
| tyrog | Dr_Willis: could you tell me which is the package that will fix it? | 22:29 |
| kvothetech | misterx: what's the error when you type startx | 22:29 |
| Dr_Willis | tyrog: i used the 3.9 packages from a ppa. or i might have just grabbed the .debs like 4 files i downloaded/installed --------> http://askubuntu.com/questions/285624/ubuntu-13-04-not-detect-the-hdmi-sound-output | 22:29 |
| misterx | kvothetech: depends on the kernel | 22:29 |
| misterx | kvothetech: newest kernel throws a segfault | 22:29 |
| kvothetech | misterx: the one you want fixed | 22:29 |
| Dr_Willis | tyrog: http://kernel.ubuntu.com/~kernel-ppa/mainline/v3.9-saucy/ | 22:30 |
| kvothetech | 3.9.2 | 22:30 |
| misterx | kvothetech: older kernels try to tell me x was already running, but i cant go out of lightdm | 22:30 |
| Dr_Willis | tyrog: or that might not be the right ones.. i forget what ones i grabbed.. let me see if i still have them | 22:30 |
| jackinacker | hey Dr willis- here's a screenshot of what i was talking about http://imgur.com/Tv6uvjx | 22:30 |
| kvothetech | master_o1_master: nvidia proprietary rarely works with the latest kernel...try going to the one that they made the drivers for. | 22:31 |
| Dr_Willis | tyrog: linux-image-3.9.0-030900-generic_3.9.0-030900.201304291257_amd64.deb | 22:31 |
| kvothetech | misterx: er that bit was for you and ctrl alt f1 when you get to your login manager | 22:31 |
| Dr_Willis | tyrog: but im not sure where i got them at.. fllowed a link from the askubuntu.com answers | 22:31 |
| tyrog | Dr_Willis: I see. Thanks for your advice :) | 22:31 |
| Dr_Willis | tyrog: aha - here they are.. for rareing http://kernel.ubuntu.com/~kernel-ppa/mainline/v3.9-raring/ | 22:32 |
| Dr_Willis | tyrog: but i used the .debs so i may not get the updated kernel if/when the fixed kernel comes out. | 22:32 |
| tyrog | Dr_Willis: is a fix coming for current 3.8 users? | 22:33 |
| misterx | kvothetech: i know how to get to tty1 (thanks). with kernel 3.2.0-41 (latest out of the repos and the one i want fixed), i can't go in, since i end up with a ig nvidia-logo on screen | 22:33 |
| Dr_Willis | tyrog: no idea. the bug reports say yes.. but have said that for some weeks now | 22:33 |
| Dr_Willis | tyrog: i got sick of waiting | 22:33 |
| misterx | *big nvidia-logo… | 22:33 |
| misterx | with SysRQ+K i get a completely frozen system | 22:34 |
| kvothetech | misterx: boot to init 3 or 1 | 22:34 |
| tyrog | Dr_Willis: but using another kernel is not supported right? | 22:34 |
| fps | IsmAvatar: ok, chroot'ed new grub setup succeded without errors. but grub still doesn;t boot.. | 22:34 |
| misterx | kvothetech: small moment, please… | 22:34 |
| fps | IsmAvatar: i won't spend more time on it tonight and put my old ssd back in for now. tomorrow is another day.. | 22:34 |
| IsmAvatar | fps: chroot may fix some problems, but I've never had to do that. Using Boot-Repair is always a silver bullet for me. I'd recommend trying it out when you get a chance. | 22:35 |
| fps | IsmAvatar: ok, taking a look before heading to bed | 22:36 |
| fps | IsmAvatar: it seems not to be in the repos | 22:36 |
| IsmAvatar | https://help.ubuntu.com/community/Boot-Repair | 22:36 |
| IsmAvatar | you can add its repository, ppa:yannubuntu/boot-repair | 22:37 |
| misterx | kvothetech: how to do that? | 22:37 |
| Dr_Willis | tyrog: depnds on what your definition of support is. ;) | 22:37 |
| fps | IsmAvatar: yeah, found the article | 22:37 |
| misterx | kvothetech: my skills end at tty1 ;) | 22:37 |
| Dr_Willis | tyrog: those kernels are from kernel.ubuntu.com and are the mainline kernels. | 22:37 |
| misterx | kvothetech: think i have to start from grub…? | 22:38 |
| Dr_Willis | bye all.. bbl | 22:38 |
| fps | aaah, GPT seems to be the problem | 22:39 |
| fps | why would the ubuntu setup do such a thing? :D | 22:39 |
| kvothetech | misterx: idk i don't use ubuntu's upstart....i'd try recovery mode at grub then login as root and kill lightdm | 22:39 |
| fps | does the setup have an option to not use GPT? | 22:41 |
| misterx | kvothetech: lightdm isn running in recovery mode → root shell | 22:41 |

| ActionParsnip | kvothetech: it makes the Xorg.0.log as normal | 22:58 |
| misterx | kvothetech: in a regular boot, i cant change to any tty at all. i just see the logo and thats all. | 22:58 |
| Ben64 | Voi: if you want to skip updates and keep using a release for a longer time, use LTS releases | 22:58 |

| ActionParsnip | voi: its possible but I expect you will get a tonne of problems | 22:58 |
| replaceits | oops i meant 12.04! | 22:59 |
| Voi | Ben64: thanks, i still rather want the 13.04 though | 22:59 |

| Adam_ | Can anyone help we figure out what's wrong with my screen brightness adjustment? It's driving me crazy, I've tried everything | 22:59 |
| misterx | kvothetech: recovery-console or chroot out of a live-system? | 22:59 |
| kvothetech | voi you can i'd do it in a chroot though off a live cd so you dont end up in dep hell | 22:59 |
| Voi | ActionParsnip: how? any links? | 22:59 |
| replaceits | ActionParsnip: yea meant 12.04 lol | 22:59 |

| vanishing | replaceits: i would recommend 13.04. pretty smooth on my end so far...13.10 now.. | 22:59 |
| ActionParsnip | replaceits: 12.04 is LTS, id go for that | 22:59 |
| Voi | Ben64: ... | 23:00 |

| K4k | I'm trying to configure preseed and for some reason if I enable tasksel for ubuntu-desktop I keep getting dependency for xserver-xorg-video-all missing. It claims the ati and nouveau packages are uninstallable. I'm not sure why it would do this, anyone have ideas? | 23:00 |
| replaceits | I had problems with 12.10 so i downgraded to 12.04 and it worked perfectly, would i have problems with 13.04 if i did with 12.10? | 23:00 |
| ActionParsnip | ben64: upgrading from 10.10 to 13.04 but the fool is a glutton for punishment | 23:01 |
| Ben64 | replaceits: i would just stick with 12.04 until 14.04 | 23:01 |
| ActionParsnip | voi: go for a clean install of 12.04 it is LTS and supported til April 2017 | 23:01 |
| Voi | ok, another question, how do i get gparted for my 10.10 right now | 23:01 |
| Ben64 | Voi: you don't, you need to upgrade to a supported release | 23:02 |
| ActionParsnip | voi: should be in a default install. there is a gparted livecd | 23:02 |
| Voi | no its not on 10.10 | 23:02 |
| Ben64 | 10.10 lost support over a year ago | 23:02 |

| cocoa117 | kvothetech, i know the dropbear can set up the IP address and others | 23:23 |
| dr_willis | Voi: if you have a working ubunti install on your machine. that is using GRUB2.. you can set IT to boot the iso file via grub2. then install from the booted ISO file to partions on the HD. | 23:23 |
| alecb | In the middle of a ubuntu upgrade off a live CD my screen went black. Ctrl+Alt+F7 just has a black screen and a cursor moving. Ctrl+Alt+F1 puts me in a working terminal, but the cursor is still there (and is still moveable). wat do? | 23:23 |
| misterx | kvothetech: i always used nvidia… | 23:23 |
| alecb | would it be safe to just power off and try again? | 23:23 |
| kvothetech | alecb: you'll likely end up with the same result but feel free to do so | 23:24 |
| dr_willis | alecb: you get no LOGIN: on any of the alt-cgrl-f1-f8 consoles ? | 23:24 |
| misterx | alecb: in the middle of a dist-upgr thats probably not the best idea | 23:24 |
| utfans05 | voi, it doesnt, from what I know, it needs to be on some media in order to boot from it. if your trying to resize a partition in order to put the iso on your hdd and boot from it, shrink your current hdd about 4gb and then do a dd if=/location/of/iso of=/dev/sd"partion letter &number" | 23:24 |
| alecb | dr_willis: each of the ctrl alt f[1-7] consoles is logged in as ubuntu -- i'm in one of them now | 23:25 |
| kvothetech | cocoa117: if it confiures networking and you throw it in after your network drivers load i suppose..never tried it though | 23:25 |
| dr_willis | it would be much easier to get grub2 to boot the ISO. then dd the iso to a partion and trying to boot that partition | 23:25 |
| utfans05 | dr_willis: really? | 23:25 |
| dr_willis | utfans05: i have iso files in my /boot/ partion for 'rescue/testing' and have a grub entry for eacch one.. | 23:26 |
| utfans05 | dr_willis: can you explain how to do that. ive never had to boot from a iso currently on a hdd | 23:26 |
| alecb | misterx: so wht should I do? just sit around for a few hours and see if anything changes? | 23:26 |
| alecb | is there anyway to check from a terminal is the dist-upgrade is done yet or not? | 23:26 |
| dr_willis | grub2 can boot an iso file if you make a proper entry for the iso. the pendrielinux site may have someguides.. askubuntu.com should also | 23:26 |
| * switching needs help getting ndiswrapper to run on boot up. ndiswrapper -m reports "module configuration already contains alias directive" | 23:26 | |
| utfans05 | dr_willis: im unsure of how do to that | 23:26 |
| kvothetech | alecb: ps | 23:26 |
| dr_willis | add a proper entry for the iso in /etc/grub.d/40_custome rerun update-grub. try the entry in the grub menu | 23:27 |
| elisa87 | how can I install ctags in vimrc? or maybe omnicppComplete ?? | 23:27 |
| dr_willis | utfans05: askubuntu.com may have example entrys to use | 23:27 |
| mdfe | i don't have /usr/share/aclocal/isc-posix.m4 | 23:27 |
| utfans05 | voi see what dr_willis said? | 23:27 |
| SDr | hmmm, interesting. My home box fails to route to my linode server, but a remote AWS box can do ping & http without a notch | 23:28 |
| dr_willis | the thing to remmer is this will ONLY work with grub2 not grub1 | 23:28 |
| alecb | kvothetech: ps aux | grep dist-upgrade is empty (except for the grep...) would that mean it's done installing and the rendering just fucked up? or are there other related processes? | 23:28 |
| dr_willis | with grub1 - you could extract the iso files to some directory and make a custom grub 1 entry to boot that setup.. but thats a bit harder | 23:28 |

| misterx | alecb: i'd go for "apt-get" rather than "dist-upgrade" | 23:29 |
| === wicked is now known as zz_wicked | ||
| alecb | misterx: no apt-gets running either | 23:29 |
| vanishing | misterx: dist-upgrade is the argument for apt-get... | 23:29 |
| dr_willis | bb in aa bit.... | 23:29 |
| vanishing | misterx: sry..my bad..didnt read his line | 23:30 |
| misterx | vanishing: i know. but i dont know if it might trigger itself without that argument. | 23:30 |
| misterx | vanishing: no prob. was not sure either | 23:30 |

| brunost | hi! has anybody else here encountered the issue with not being able to save files to a network share when using the dialog in gedit, chromium etc? | 23:31 |
| kvothetech | brunost: is it mounted | 23:32 |
| alecb | alright, well, I guess I'll just try a reboot and see what happens | 23:32 |
| tux30 | hi i have a bug with remmina remote desktop often when i want take control of my windows 7 pc the screen is freeze and can not do anything | 23:32 |
| Voi | utfans05: ok thanks! i will try that, but first help me please getting that gparted live cd started so i can prepare the partitions :> | 23:32 |
| brunost | kvothetech: yeah, it is, actually it appears in gedit now.... still nothing with chromium | 23:33 |
| utfans05 | voi, you going to do the same thing, put it on a hdd? | 23:33 |
| kvothetech | brunost: what's the error when you go to where it's mounted and try to save... | 23:33 |
| Voi | im currently following http://gparted.sourceforge.net/livehd.php and im stuck at 2. with mount /dev/hda4 /mnt -> mount /dev/hda4 /mnt | 23:33 |
| brunost | kvothetech: no errors, it just doesn't appear in the dialog | 23:33 |
| Voi | mount: special device /dev/hda4 does not exist sorry | 23:33 |
| brunost | its as if the "bookmarks" section just doesn't exist within this dialog in some apps | 23:34 |
| utfans05 | voi the fdisk you did shows what you can select, /dev/sd$$ | 23:34 |
| vanishing | brunost: you mean you can see the mount in nautilus but no in the save/open dialog? | 23:34 |
| vanishing | not* | 23:34 |
| brunost | vanishing: correct | 23:34 |
| misterx | okay, anyone else ideas what to do when i end up with a big nvidia-logo after bootup and before entering the desktop-manager? | 23:34 |
| th0r | brunost, you should find the mount in /media | 23:34 |
| Voi | utfans05: why cant i choose "hda4" ? | 23:35 |
| th0r | brunost, unless you have mounted somewhere else, of course | 23:35 |
| elisa87 | How can I add ctags in my vimrc? | 23:35 |
| kvothetech | brunost: if it doesn't appear it's not mounted.... | 23:35 |
| utfans05 | voi when you did the fdisk -l did it show /dev/hda4? | 23:36 |
| kvothetech | brunost: where'd you mount it? | 23:36 |
| vanishing | elisa87: set tags+=location | 23:36 |
| brunost | kvothetech: I mounted it by right clicking on the directory when browsing for it in nautilus | 23:36 |
| elisa87 | location of the code you mean? | 23:36 |
| vanishing | elisa87: location of the tags you generated | 23:36 |
| vanishing | kvothetech: nooo..failed with a bunch of undefined references... | 23:37 |
| Voi | utfans05: ok nevermind i figured out <,< on my other laptop i had all hda not sda.. anyway: can i choose a swap partition for that gparted live cd? xD | 23:37 |
| kvothetech | brunost: i think nautilus puts it in /var/run/media/<username>/<labelname or uuid if none> | 23:37 |
| kvothetech | brunost: check there | 23:37 |
| vanishing | kvothetech: isnt it supposed to be just /media/username/<mount name> ? | 23:38 |
| Voi | utfans05: else id need a new "empty" partition. i dont have one, i cant get one because i need gparted for that. on the other side i need one to get gparted ?? | 23:38 |
| kvothetech | vanishing: hm ok...exactly what didyou do before you started compiling | 23:38 |
| vanishing | kvothetech: steps i took are pretty generic... | 23:39 |
| kvothetech | vanishing: idk i just mounted something in nautilus and that's where it put it you can probably change it by editting udisks or autofs if you wanted | 23:39 |
| vanishing | download source with apt-get source-> download ck patch->apply patch->copy .config->make oldconfig->make menuconfig-> fakeroot | 23:40 |
| Voi | yea i guess thats it.. "In this example we use the grub boot loader. You have to put the GParted live files in a FAT, ext2, ext3, reiserfs or some other grub supported partition. If you do not have such a partition, you can use gparted to resize an existing partition to free up space and then create another partition to put GParted Live." hahaha | 23:40 |
| brunost | kvothetech: nothing under /var/run/media/ | 23:40 |
| === qos|away is now known as qos | ||
| vanishing | kvothetech: except now i modified Makefile and took out the Werror implicit line | 23:40 |
| brunost | I mean mount, media doesn't even exist | 23:40 |
| utfans05 | voi so your good? | 23:40 |
| kvothetech | brunost: where is it if you just type mount no parameters | 23:41 |
| vanishing | brunost: does /media/username/ exist? | 23:41 |
| kvothetech | vanishing: kk uhm you skipped modules in that ...or are you building it all in so you don't need an initramfs | 23:41 |
| kvothetech | or modules | 23:41 |
| Voi | utfans05: i found out that i need gparted to get gparted running? thus i cannot run it? unless i can use a swap partition for mounting gparted | 23:41 |
| brunost | I think I found them under /var/run/user/username/gvfs/ | 23:42 |
| misterx | kvothetech: could reproduce the segfault. why ever… | 23:42 |
| utfans05 | voi, IDK if that will work. It might. | 23:42 |
| kvothetech | brunost: and that locatin doesn't show up in your chromium window? | 23:42 |
| vanishing | kvothetech: hmm..didnt know you have to do that.. | 23:42 |
| kvothetech | vanishing: i mean you CAN do it after the make but..generally it's done at the same time | 23:43 |
| brunost | kvothetech: no, the two bookmarked shares don't show up on the left bar of the chromium window | 23:43 |
| Voi | utfans05: if i have two swap partitions which one will be used (first) | 23:43 |
| utfans05 | voi, not sure, lemme do some research really fast | 23:43 |
| kvothetech | brunost: if they don't show up where they're mounted i'd check permissions on it... do you have execute permission on the dir listed (so you can read it) | 23:44 |
| vanishing | kvothetech: i dont think that explains the undefined reference error though.. | 23:44 |
| zapata2 | Hi! i get this error http://paste.ubuntu.com/5669277/ Any ides? | 23:44 |
| kvothetech | vanishing: it doesn't.... | 23:44 |
| Voi | utfans05: http://pastebin.com/UivJWGvA | 23:44 |
| kvothetech | vanishing: hmm try grabbing a fresh kernel from kernel.org instead of using the ones with apt | 23:45 |
| Voi | utfans05: /dev/sda6 looks like swapspace - not mounted mount: you must specify the filesystem type :/ | 23:45 |
| utfans05 | voi, i would recommend this http://www.wikihow.com/Boot-an-Ubuntu-ISO-from-Your-Hard-Drive put the iso on a hard drive that your computer doesnt already boot from and see if that works | 23:45 |
| vanishing | kvothetech: did that too.. | 23:45 |
| brunost | kvothetech: using ls -l in the mentioned directory gives me this: drwx------ 1 nikolai nikolai 0 mai 14 00:53 smb-share:server=microserver,share=tank/ | 23:45 |
| elisa87 | http://paste.ubuntu.com/5669279/ What should I do if I am not a sudoer? cp: cannot create regular file `/usr/local/bin/ctags': Permission denied | 23:46 |
| kvothetech | brunost: so is chromium running as nikolai (btw if thats a reference to enders shadow nice) | 23:46 |
| brunost | kvothetech: yes it does | 23:46 |
| brunost | run as that user that is | 23:47 |
| roloenusa | Hello everyone, i got a few noobie questions.. Is this the best place to ask? | 23:47 |
| Voi | utfans05: thx for that link! might work | 23:47 |
| vanishing | roloenusa: ye..but don't ask that..ask the question | 23:47 |
| kvothetech | brunost: and /var/<user>/gvfs or whatever dosen't exist in chromium at all? uhm thats a bug omewhere | 23:47 |

| _NerdyMe_ | hi guys... what's the best channel for smart scopes? | 23:48 |
| brunost | kvothetech: I can browse to it from chromium, the bookmarks to the shares just doesn't exist | 23:48 |
| kvothetech | elisa87: idk what that file is but if you're not a sudoer and you cant modify the acl's to give yourself permission to make that file or edit it...you're out of luck...you can try making /home/<user>/usr/local/bin/ctags and then set a prefix for whatever uses it to that copy | 23:49 |
| Voi | now i need to find that boot table on my 10.10... | 23:49 |
| dougsko | hey guys, i just upgraded to raring and now i have no sound. i tried the instructions here. http://ubuntuforums.org/showthread.php?t=2139589 but it didnt work. how should i troubleshoot this? | 23:49 |
| kvothetech | brunost: idk i dont bookmark shares | 23:49 |
| kvothetech | vanishing: sorry mate if you already tried that too...idk what tot el you.. | 23:50 |
| brunost | kvothetech: can I somehow make the shares appear as physical drives? | 23:50 |
| kvothetech | brunost: as far as nix is concerned you mount the share just like you would any other drive....so it already is | 23:51 |
| mustmodify | I installed Ubuntu on an old Pavillion that was slow but stable under windows. Kids complain of frequent kernel panics. Can someone give me some direction in terms of troubleshooting? I have one up on the screen now. | 23:51 |

| vanishing | kvothetech: kvothetech meh..thanks anyways | 23:51 |
| roloenusa | Basically, i'm pretty new to Ubuntu. I have it installed in a dual core intel about 4 years old and a 300GB hard drive. I keep getting /usr/lib/gnome-disk-utility/gdu-notification-daemon and other similar crashes. Sometimes. | 23:51 |
| kvothetech | vanishing: sorry :( never had an issue compiling my kernel it's alwys sorta just worked unless i did something stupid | 23:51 |
| roloenusa | I'm not sure what they mean or how to fix them | 23:52 |
| brunost | kvothetech: yeah, but it would have been practical to make it appear as a disk drive just as any secondary drive, sortof like it is in "my computer" in windows | 23:52 |
| mustmodify | or is there another channel I should checK/ | 23:52 |
| mustmodify | k? | 23:52 |

| elisa87 | In my directory I have .cc and .hh files and I can't use ctags ... Is there any other alternatives? ctags: Warning: cannot open source file "*.c" : No such file or directory | 23:53 |
| brunost | hmm ok. might just have to settle with that, its just really odd, I had this working alright with the bookmarks when I still was on ubuntu 12.04 but it doesn't on 13.04 | 23:53 |
| misterx | kvothetech: http://files.datahaven.eu/Xorg.0.log | 23:53 |
| kvothetech | elisa87: ? add another c to that you said you have .cc and you tried opning .c | 23:54 |
