| vanishing | elisa87: i dont think you need to source that.... | 00:06 |

| tats | also: I read somewhere similar problems linked to encrypted swap partitions. I'm not sure my swap was encrypted, but in my 12.04 installation I had chosen to encrypt my home folder, so perhaps it is. the other thing worth mentioning is that I don't seem to be able to mount my /dev/sda hd (at least, not with the current settings). could it be that my disk is corrupted somehow? how can i verify that? | 00:23 |

| loganlee | cool man | 01:07 |
| vanishing | w0lfspy_: proceed carefully though | 01:07 |
| w0lfspy_ | I pressed install and it said error: something | 01:07 |
| vanishing | w0lfspy_: working? | 01:08 |
| w0lfspy_ | Then kernel panic - not syncing vfs: unable to mount root fs on unknown-block(0,0) | 01:08 |
| w0lfspy_ | Err | 01:08 |
| loganlee | w0lfspy_: go to bios and change priority for hard drive. you need to boot from correct hard drive | 01:09 |
| w0lfspy_ | What? | 01:09 |

| w0lfspy_ | How to I get out of the kernel panic screen? | 01:09 |
| vanishing | try alt+sysrq reisub | 01:10 |
| w0lfspy_ | Hold down the power button? | 01:10 |
| w0lfspy_ | vanishing: Err | 01:10 |
| vanishing | w0lfspy_: that works too | 01:10 |
| vanishing | lol | 01:10 |
| w0lfspy_ | What are those last two keys? | 01:10 |
| vanishing | w0lfspy_: this will explain it..a nice read http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Magic_SysRq_key | 01:11 |
| vanishing | w0lfspy_: but im not sure about the kernel panic problem | 01:11 |
| w0lfspy_ | Should I check the disk for defects? | 01:13 |
| w0lfspy_ | I guess so | 01:13 |
| vanishing | w0lfspy_: i doubt it... | 01:14 |
| loganlee | w0lfspy_: use different ubuntu cd | 01:14 |

| ramon | i had to use an old ubuntu version (11.04) to reinstall it as i had a little problem upgrading to 13.04 but now i cant get to burn a dvd cause it does not detect the disc...could someone help me out work around cause going by version i also got stock in 11.10 | 01:17 |
| vanishing | ramon: could it be the same problem... | 01:18 |
| w0lfspy | Should I use the installer program for windows? | 01:19 |
| ramon | vanishing, i believe there is a graphic card problem around but for now i would like to get to burn a dvd and i am having problem to get ubuntu to recognize the media on the drive | 01:19 |
| vanishing | ramon: oh you mean you boot fine, but can get the install to recognize the dvd? | 01:20 |
| ramon | vanishing, thats right | 01:20 |
| brian_ | i have been working on installing ati drivers on ubuntu 12.04 and also have tried linux-lite 1.04, 1.06. Always displays "input not supported after the driver has installed. Now I have spent around a week on this and I cant figure it out | 01:20 |

| alecb | is there a guide somewhere explaining how to manually setup grub from a live cd so that something is bootable if an install failed? | 01:22 |
| brian_ | tried the step by step instructions on ubuntu support site | 01:22 |
| OerHeks | !grub | 01:23 |
| ubottu | GRUB2 is the default Ubuntu boot manager. Lost GRUB after installing Windows? See https://help.ubuntu.com/community/RestoreGrub - For more information and troubleshooting for GRUB2 please refer to https://help.ubuntu.com/community/Grub2 | 01:23 |
| vanishing | alecb: you cant boot into your windows install from grub right? | 01:23 |
| alecb | vanishing: no, grub got all messed up after a failed 13.04 upgrade/install. all I get on boot is a grub console, no menu or anything | 01:24 |
| alecb | vanishing: I'm on a livecd now | 01:24 |
| wilee-nilee | alecb, See the grub links, the bootrepair tool can generate a bootinfo summary that is helpful to hve here. | 01:24 |
| vanishing | alecb: try this https://help.ubuntu.com/community/Boot-Repair | 01:25 |
| brian_ | anyone have any idea what I can do differently ? | 01:25 |
| === jeffsi_ is now known as jeffsi | ||
| wilee-nilee | alecb, If you want o just use the live cd this is a link I use when needed. https://help.ubuntu.com/community/Grub2/Installing | 01:26 |
| alecb | wilee-nilee: "just use the livecd"? like you mean just install ubuntu with it? the problem is I think the livecds fucked up (or else something else is fucked up preventing it from working), because it's failed twice. current plan is to see if I can fix grub and boot into windows and maybe burn a fresh iso | 01:32 |
| funkbox | so, does anyone run mint on a chromebook pixel? i just got one and would like to get a real os on it | 01:32 |
| vanishing | alecb: did boot-repair work? | 01:32 |
| alecb | vanishing: sorry didn't try it yet, was afk | 01:33 |
| wilee-nilee | alecb, What windows release is it and do you have a recovery or install disc for it? | 01:35 |
| alecb | wilee-nilee: it's 7. I can get a fresh iso (legally) but I'd rather avoid that since it'll take like 7ish hours with my current down speed | 01:35 |
| wilee-nilee | alecb, To fix grub if fixable you need to boot a live cd, or use like supergrub to get into the install, or manually boot from a grub> | 01:36 |
| brian_ | if you are getting installation errors, it is possible your partitions could be messed up. or u could have some unallocated space | 01:37 |
| brian_ | personally, I have had install errors and it was due to the face I had " 1meg" of unallocated space | 01:38 |
| brian_ | fact* | 01:38 |
| alecb | wilee-nilee, vanishing I just ran boot-repair and it said it worked, so I'll try and reboot now I guess and see what happens. in case I lose them these are the before/after pasties from boot-repair: http://paste.ubuntu.com/5669462/ http://paste.ubuntu.com/5669465/ | 01:38 |

| thecodeischaos | the error the grub-efi package failed to install into /target/..... i remember, just before in my BIOS -boot override, there were 2 options for the same usb stick -one said uefi, i chose that one... could that be the cause of the rrror? | 01:45 |

| vanishing | its been a whole day I spent trying to patch and compile the 3.9 kernel | 01:48 |
| Ari-Yang | vanishing, it work out? | 01:48 |
| Ari-Yang | what version are you on? | 01:49 |
| vanishing | Ari-Yang: nope... | 01:49 |
| Ari-Yang | aw | 01:49 |
| Ari-Yang | ubuntu 13.10 is suppose to run on kernel 3.9, right? | 01:49 |
| vanishing | Ari-Yang: yep.. | 01:49 |
| Ari-Yang | yeah, when 3.04 becomes more stable, I'll upgrade from 12.10, and when 3.10 becomes more stable, I'll upgrade to that. | 01:50 |
| vanishing | 3.9.0.2uname -r | 01:50 |

| Ari-Yang | OS: Linux 3.5.0-28-generic x86_64 ** Distro: Ubuntu "quantal" 12.10 ** | 01:50 |
| Ari-Yang | I think there's a 3.5.0-30 update | 01:50 |
| vanishing | Ari-Yang: I'd say 13.04 is pretty stable | 01:51 |
| Ari-Yang | oh? | 01:51 |

| Ari-Yang | ^ vanishing | 01:52 |
| alecb | yay, I'm in windows. time to re-burn and try the ubuntu install again I guess | 01:52 |
| Ari-Yang | good luck ^ | 01:52 |
| vanishing | Ari-Yang: I would say yes | 01:53 |
| vanishing | alecb: it worked? | 01:53 |
| wilee-nilee | alecb, The install was missing grub basically. | 01:53 |
| alecb | wilee-nilee: grub was definitely on there (I was getting dropped into a grub shell before), it just wasn't configured right I guess | 01:53 |
| alecb | vanishing: seemed to -- booting went straight into windows (no grub menu or anything), but I guess that makes some sense because windows is the only not-broken OS on my drive? | 01:54 |
| alecb | should I have expected a grub menu anyway? | 01:55 |
| thecodeischaos | ahhh yes it was the boot thingy i think.... when i installed v12 the install menu had no colors... i selected the non uefi boot and it shows the installer with colors which usually worked for me | 01:55 |
| wilee-nilee | alecb, It was missing /boot/grub/grub.cfg in sda1 | 01:55 |
| vanishing | alecb: actually it does not make sense...it should still show the grub menu.. | 01:55 |
| alecb | vanishing: hm... well that makes me less happy | 01:56 |
| alecb | hm... which partition would you expect to have the boot flag right now? | 01:57 |
| vanishing | alecb: lol..burn the dvd, install it should make it work | 01:57 |
| vanishing | alecb: I think it somehow fixed your windows loader. | 01:57 |
| wilee-nilee | alecb, windows only needs the bootflag | 01:57 |
| alecb | oh, grub wouldn' care? | 01:58 |
| wilee-nilee | linux in general does not use a bootflag | 01:58 |
| alecb | huh... whatever, I guess I'll try installing again... | 01:58 |
| dr_willis | grub dosent care if the bootflag is enabled or not i recall. | 01:58 |
| loganlee | i had no trouble installing ubuntu 13.04 from virtual box :p | 02:02 |
| dr_willis | running 13.04 in vbox also.. seems to work ok. | 02:02 |

| jiffe1 | how do I startup vnc server? | 02:05 |
| thecodeischaos | oh it is | 02:05 |
| jiffe1 | via cli that is | 02:05 |
| dr_willis | tux the penguin is the linux mascot | 02:06 |
| jiffe1 | I had done it via the gui before but on reboot it doesn't appear to be running | 02:06 |
| dr_willis | jiffe1: because its not a service | 02:06 |
| dr_willis | vncserver is a common way to start a vnc server | 02:07 |
| SonikkuAmerica | loganlee: If you go to ubuntu.com and look at the circle thingie after the word "ubuntu" that's our logo... I didn't think Ubuntu itself had a mascot though. | 02:07 |
| rantic | Hi everyone, I have Ubuntu minimal 13.04 and I tried to install network-manager in fluxbox .. now when I attempt to startx I get a "Failed to load gnome session" on a black screen. I've since removed network-manager but clearly some of its dependencies are still causing this. | 02:07 |
| dr_willis | there are several vnc servers you can use | 02:07 |
| rantic | Anyone have any ideas? | 02:07 |
| dr_willis | rantic: startx is starting a different default sessiin. | 02:08 |
| dr_willis | id suggest using a login manager not startx | 02:08 |
| loganlee | rantic: isnt network-manager part of gnome? | 02:08 |
| jiffe1 | I don't have vncserver on this machine | 02:09 |
| rantic | dr_willis: I only know how to work with a .xinitrc file, where does ubuntu keep information about chosen WM's for an x session? | 02:09 |
| dr_willis | jiffe1: history command should show what you have ran in the past | 02:09 |
| jiffe1 | dr_willis: I didn't start it via cli before, I started it via the gui | 02:10 |
| dr_willis | rantic: its. xsession or .Xsession i thi k these days | 02:10 |
| dr_willis | jiffe1: then use the gui to start it again | 02:10 |
| jiffe1 | dr_willis: gui is about 20 miles away, I am doing this remotely | 02:10 |
| dr_willis | install a stand alonee vncserver perhaps | 02:11 |
| rantic | dr_willis: I don't have a .xsession in my ~, I notice there is a /etc/X11/Xsession, but this contains nothing about fluxbox or gnome to my knowledge ;( | 02:11 |
| dr_willis | !info vnc4server | 02:11 |
| jiffe1 | there's really no way to do what the gui does via command line? | 02:11 |
| ubottu | vnc4server (source: vnc4): Virtual network computing server software. In component universe, is optional. Version 4.1.1+xorg4.3.0-37ubuntu5 (raring), package size 2050 kB, installed size 5269 kB | 02:11 |
| dr_willis | rantic: make one perhaps... .xsession | 02:12 |
| rantic | dr_willis: I still don't like the idea something has modified my system in this way and I don't know what it's done .. or where | 02:12 |
| dr_willis | it chaneged the default desktop session.. figure out how to set it perhaps. | 02:13 |
| dr_willis | if you used lightdm it would be saved in .dmrc | 02:14 |
| dr_willis | use of startx is deperacated these days u recall | 02:14 |
| vanishing | rantic: you can check the dpkg log under /var/log/ | 02:15 |
| rantic | vanishing: I'm too new to understand exactly what package would have done it, do you know where the universal Xsession file would be? | 02:15 |
| vanishing | rantic: locate Xsession | 02:16 |
| sawjig | /etc/X11/Xsession | 02:17 |
| loganlee | rantic: do u have xdm running? | 02:17 |
| sawjig | .xinitrc should still work.. | 02:18 |
| dr_willis_ | .xinitrc has been replaced by .xsession i think | 02:18 |
| sawjig | if he had a login manager running then startx would fail | 02:18 |
| dr_willis_ | if you examine the 'startx' script it may give a clue as to where its looking and in what order. | 02:18 |
| sawjig | dr_willis_, nope | 02:19 |
| dr_willis_ | im no ton a ubuntu box where i can look | 02:19 |
| dr_willis_ | i definatly recall linking .xinitr cna .Xsession or .xsession ages ago.. | 02:19 |
| sawjig | dr_willis_, I don't know where you got that impression from... | 02:19 |
| dr_willis_ | sawjig: seen it mentioned here many times | 02:19 |
| sawjig | you can use either.. | 02:19 |
| sawjig | the syntax is like the same they're just bash scripts... | 02:20 |
| dr_willis_ | they are identical files.. | 02:20 |
| dr_willis_ | or can be. | 02:20 |
| sawjig | yes but .xinitrc | 02:20 |
| sawjig | should still work | 02:20 |
| dr_willis_ | the ise of .xinitrc i recall is slowly getting phased out from what ir ecall reading | 02:20 |
| sawjig | xsession is for your login manager... | 02:21 |
| sawjig | xinitrc isn' | 02:21 |
| sawjig | t going to be 'phased' out | 02:21 |
| dr_willis_ | and its reccomeded to always use a login mamanger.. not to use 'startx' | 02:21 |
| sawjig | so if you want your login manager to run the contents that you had in an .xinitrc | 02:21 |
| loganlee | can u run desktop manager on framebuffer? | 02:21 |
| roasted | Question - I'm noticing in 13.04 when I adjust the 2nd or 3rd slider within the mouse and touchpad settings on my laptop, they don't stick. If I close and reopen they're back at default settings. Another user confirmed this on a different laptop. Has anybody else noticed this? | 02:21 |
| sawjig | you can put it in /etc/X11/Xsession | 02:21 |
| Ari-Yang | for some reason when I click on 'install updates' software updater just closes. anybody know why? I'm on 12.10 | 02:21 |
| sawjig | or .xsession | 02:21 |
| loganlee | dat wud b awesome | 02:21 |
| sawjig | dr_willis_, there's no reason someone that doesn't need a login manager can't use startx | 02:21 |
| sawjig | I use startx. | 02:22 |
| Ari-Yang | not sure if this problem is tied to software-center telling me that it has to be repaired in order for new stuff to be installed or stuff to be uninstalled.... | 02:22 |
| loganlee | can u run desktop manager on frame buffer? | 02:22 |
| sawjig | someone can just kill X and get a shell even if you lock your X... | 02:22 |
| dr_willis_ | sawjig: its not reccomended as i said.. we had a discussion on this in here a few weeks back | 02:22 |
| loganlee | !framebuffer | 02:22 |
| ubottu | Information about changing your framebuffer modes in GRUB can be found at https://wiki.ubuntu.com/FrameBuffer#grub | 02:22 |
| onborad | why I build grub package no have linuxefi mode ,I use ubuntu grub2_2.00-7ubuntu11.debian.tar.gz | 02:22 |
| sawjig | dr_willis_, not recommended doesn't mean .xinitrc has been replaced... | 02:22 |
| dr_willis_ | sawjig: its being depercated as i said.. | 02:22 |
| dr_willis_ | you just said either will work.. so basically it has been replaced | 02:23 |
| loganlee | just run frambuffer system | 02:23 |
| sawjig | dr_willis_, which is the whole thing I'm commenting on more than anything else. | 02:23 |
| loganlee | -_- | 02:23 |
| sawjig | dr_willis_, I've been using linux for years and years | 02:23 |
| dr_willis_ | i have also.. | 02:23 |
| zykotick9 | dr_willis_: startx and .xinitrc aren't really deprecated (perhaps in ubuntu, but not the rest of the gnu/linux world) | 02:23 |
| sawjig | dr_willis_, I doubt they're deprwecated in ubuntu | 02:24 |
| sawjig | Checked the wiki | 02:24 |
| dr_willis_ | i focus on what ubuntu has been doing. ;) i dont worry about the rest of the world these days | 02:24 |
| sawjig | checked the manual | 02:24 |
| sawjig | still says .Xinitrc | 02:24 |

| eph3meral | and though I don't think it's at all out of the question, something more ruby-oriented would be preferred I'm sure | 02:29 |
| eph3meral | and by preferred, I mean easier to sell to my superiors | 02:30 |
| dr_willis_ | supertough: perhaps turn off the filrewall rules to test it out | 02:30 |
| eph3meral | and by easier to sell I mean they hate python :( | 02:30 |
| supertough | like sudo ufw allow from IPaddress to port | 02:30 |
| eph3meral | be a man and edit your iptables by hand :P | 02:30 |
| supertough | where is this firewall rule setting at? | 02:30 |
| dr_willis_ | sudi iptables --list shows all rules | 02:30 |
| somsip | eph3meral: I have no experience of RoR, but use fab to deploy to PHP-only projects. Anyway - you clearly know fab so maybe you need something else | 02:30 |
| dr_willis_ | sudo iptables --list | 02:30 |
| eph3meral | yeah I was going to go with some combination of chef and puppet | 02:31 |
| eph3meral | I'm just not sure which combination will work | 02:31 |
| somsip | eph3meral: those would have been my other recommendations. Salt *may* be worth looking at too | 02:31 |
| eph3meral | er, blerp, chef and capistrano | 02:31 |
| loganlee | sudo iptables -F | 02:32 |
| supertough | I have no clue what all of this are telling me | 02:32 |
| aktifisus | Hi can anybody help me to install amd catalyts privative d river 13.4 on ubuntu raring raintail thats are a .run file | 02:32 |
| supertough | I managed to Remotely access my desktop yesterday but today I can't | 02:32 |
| batmite | hello :) | 02:32 |
| aktifisus | hi | 02:34 |
| loganlee | hruhruhru | 02:34 |
| onborad | How can build grub2.efi with linuxefi mode? | 02:34 |
| aktifisus | u_u | 02:35 |
| dr_willis_ | i thought there was a grub-uefi package | 02:35 |
| dr_willis_ | !info grub-uefi | 02:35 |
| ubottu | Package grub-uefi does not exist in raring | 02:35 |
| dr_willis_ | supertough: 'sudo iptables --list' shows if theres any firewall rules.. you are doing this all over a local lan? | 02:36 |
| loganlee | !info tux | 02:36 |
| ubottu | Package tux does not exist in raring | 02:36 |
| supertough | yes this is local router | 02:36 |
| supertough | port 23 is disable on firewall | 02:36 |
| supertough | i was able to access desktop sharing before but can't today | 02:37 |
| dr_willis_ | if your lan is behind a router - i really dont see much point on any firewall rules beeing needed at all | 02:37 |
| supertough | failed to establish connection with the server | 02:37 |
| olsonea | hi folks, anyone here worked with USB audio interfaces? | 02:38 |
| eph3meral | somsip: hmm, it looks like the rubber gem may be a good candidate | 02:40 |
| eph3meral | fwiw | 02:40 |
| eph3meral | somsip: and I know fab isn't trying to necessarily be capistrano, but something like what rubber provides might be nice | 02:40 |
| eph3meral | though I haven't tried rubber yet, only looking now, but it purports to be what I am wanting | 02:40 |
| swiss | so i have an issue with online accounts. Its with the plugins, its looking for library files that aren't included in any package | 02:44 |
| swiss | it is looking for /usr/lib/libaccount-plugin-1.0/applications/libunity-scope-gdrive.so | 02:44 |
| swiss | and such | 02:44 |
| aktifisus | hi can anybody help me to install driver amd catalyts 13 on ubuntu raring | 02:44 |
| somsip | eph3meral: looks like it adds some nice features. | 02:44 |
| treanet | ubuntu is ubuntu | 02:45 |
| ZNaught | Hello, I just installed linux, and during boot the screen flickers very quickly and text overlays itself. It never actually boots. What can I do about it? | 02:45 |

| GinTonicool | how can i watch free live TV news | 02:46 |
| GinTonicool | thanks for help | 02:46 |

| ubottu | GinTonicool: #ubuntu is the Ubuntu support channel, for all Ubuntu-related support questions. Please use #ubuntu-offtopic for other topics (though our !guidelines apply there too). Thanks! | 02:46 |
| swiss | is there a development channel | 02:47 |
| olsonea | anyone here worked with USB audio interfaces? i'm having some trouble getting output to run through a Behringer UCA-222 | 02:48 |
| olsonea | from what i can tell, Ubuntu sees the interface | 02:48 |
| SonikkuAmerica | olsonea: You have PulseAudio I assume? | 02:48 |
| GinTonicool | sorry sorry. can you guys give me somelike '#' channel so i can get help | 02:49 |
| olsonea | yes | 02:49 |
| olsonea | i think so | 02:49 |
| olsonea | SonikkuAmerica: confirmed, i do. i had been trying to configure it using alsamixer though | 02:50 |
| SonikkuAmerica | olsonea: You'll have to use PulseAudio to configure USB audio devices these days. | 02:50 |
| olsonea | do i need to disable alsa? | 02:51 |
| swiss | i'm debating a full reinstall :/ | 02:52 |
| aktifisus | nobody? | 02:52 |
| swiss | olsonea: no, i don't believe so | 02:52 |
| ZNaught | Can anyone help me? I really want to get ubuntu working | 02:52 |
| SonikkuAmerica | olsonea: As a heuristic maybe, but you'll need to run pavucontrol (Unity's System Settings > Sound) to switch correctly | 02:52 |
| SonikkuAmerica | ZNaught: What's up? | 02:52 |
| swiss | aktifisus: what's wrong with the way you're installing it | 02:52 |
| olsonea | ah | 02:52 |
| swiss | ZNaught: are you familiar with changing the grub commandline options? | 02:53 |
| Saiki | what's the commanline command to replace all instances of one word with another inside a folder's files (and subfolders)? | 02:53 |
| FusionX | Gparted is unable to mount my other ntfs partition and says "the enclosing drive for the volume is locked" while I'm able to mount the partitions with the "mount" command. | 02:53 |
| ZNaught | swiss: Nope | 02:53 |
| swiss | ZNaught: did you try booting to the recovery option? | 02:53 |
| olsonea | SonikkuAmerica: ok. i see why i went down the alsa road. I can see the interface on the Config tab, but it's not appearing on the Output/Input Devices tabs | 02:53 |
| ZNaught | SonikkuAmerica: The screen flickers and text overlays when booting into the OS. It never actually boots | 02:54 |
| swiss | ZNaught: smash that esc key during startup till you get to the grub menu, then try the recovery one | 02:54 |
| SonikkuAmerica | olsonea: Did you reboot since you plugged it in? | 02:54 |
| ZNaught | swiss: It also happened on the CD. safemode did work on the CD | 02:54 |
| olsonea | did not | 02:54 |
| swiss | ZNaught: graphics issues | 02:54 |
| SonikkuAmerica | ZNaught: Work with swiss on this one; I have to go to bed soon. | 02:55 |
| swiss | Saiki: ls | while read line; do newname=$(echo $line | sed -e "s/oldword/newword/"); mv """$line""" """$newname"""; doen | 02:55 |
| ZNaught | swiss: It worked fine last time I had it on here | 02:55 |
| ZNaught | SonikkuAmerica: alright thanks | 02:55 |
| swiss | Saiki: err..... done at the end, fat typo | 02:55 |
| olsonea | SonikkuAmerica: i've got 8 days of uptime | 02:55 |
| SonikkuAmerica | olsonea: Give that a shot. | 02:55 |
| swiss | ZNaught: what do you mean? | 02:55 |
| SonikkuAmerica | olsonea: 8 days? Are you running a server? lol | 02:55 |
| swiss | ZNaught: OH i bet i know what you're running~ | 02:55 |
| olsonea | ha | 02:56 |
| swiss | ZNaught: what type of computer is it | 02:56 |
| SonikkuAmerica | olsonea: Reboots usually work wonders. | 02:56 |
| ZNaught | swiss: custom build desktop | 02:56 |
| swiss | builtin graphics? | 02:56 |
| ZNaught | swiss: dedicated GPU - GTX 470 | 02:57 |
| swiss | hmmm | 02:57 |
| olsonea | heh | 02:57 |
| olsonea | sorry, i hate rebooting :) | 02:57 |
| olsonea | pulseaudio -k | 02:57 |
| olsonea | and then pulseaudio --start | 02:58 |
| swiss | ZNaught: try booting in recovery mode | 02:58 |
| olsonea | the interface is now showing on the output tab | 02:58 |
| olsonea | thanks! | 02:58 |
| Saiki | swiss: ls | while read line; do newname=$(echo $line | sed -e "s/mine/yours/"); mv """$line""" """$newname"""; done <like this? | 02:58 |
| olsonea | uptime...intact! | 02:58 |
| swiss | Saiki: while in the directory, yeah, that should do it | 02:58 |
| SonikkuAmerica | olsonea: Hate to cut short but it's 11 PM in my neck of the woods. Gotta hit the hay! Meantime, try a reboot and flag me in the morning if it doesn't work. | 02:58 |
| Saiki | swiss: ok, thanks :) | 02:58 |
| swiss | Saiki: copy 2 or so to another directory to test it | 02:58 |
| olsonea | SonikkuAmerica: thanks for your help1 | 02:58 |
| swiss | or you can live on the edge and just run it | 02:58 |
| ZNaught | swiss: I am assuming it will work, it did on the live CD | 02:58 |
| swiss | ZNaught: right right, but then you can get debugging output | 02:59 |
| swiss | can't get much out of the system if you can't see what you're working on | 02:59 |
| swiss | i'm still peeved at online-accounts | 03:00 |
| swiss | i might just do a reinstall | 03:00 |
| swiss | also, it *so* did not play nice with gnome3 | 03:00 |
| shankstaBytes | hey | 03:00 |
| shankstaBytes | anyone got the apple magic mouse working? | 03:00 |
| ZNaught | swiss: I am just thinking it is more than just the install because the live CD had the same problem as the install | 03:01 |
| FusionX | Can anyone guide me how to install brogue? | 03:01 |
| swiss | ZNaught: i agree with you | 03:01 |
| FusionX | *me on | 03:01 |
| swiss | ZNaught: i think it's the graphics drivers, and the safe mode doesn't turn those on. I'm wondering if you can get some info about the system while you're booted in to figure out what needs to change to make it work | 03:01 |
| swiss | like once you boot up in safe mode, install all the updates, and the specific drivers for your card | 03:02 |
| ZNaught | alright I will try. I am on the same PC, so I will have to try it that way | 03:02 |
| ZNaught | thanks for the help | 03:02 |
| Saiki | swiss: http://pastebin.com/DqqezT9S | 03:02 |
| swiss | ZNaught: mmhmm | 03:03 |
| swiss | Saiki: yep yep | 03:03 |
| swiss | that's fine | 03:03 |
| tats | hi. upon upgrading from 12.10 to 13.04 the install process seems to be stalled on the "Saving installed packages..." step. it's been over an hour now. is it normal? | 03:03 |
| swiss | Saiki: it just tried to move the ones that didn't contain that name into the same file, which is what the script should do | 03:03 |
| swiss | just knoew that it wouldn't break things | 03:03 |

| Millo | hi guys, I'm having trouble finding my harddrive in gparted/testdisk (external usb). Is anyone experienced in this area? I'm looking to just erase the drive, but it was corrupted for a while | 03:17 |
| batmite | your using ubuntu? | 03:17 |
| Millo | yes | 03:17 |
| Millo | live | 03:17 |
| batmite | ah. | 03:18 |
| otend | when reinstalling Ubuntu Server, how do I delete the previous LVM setup so that I can use the whole disk again? | 03:18 |
| supertough | what software is it controlling Desktop Sharing? | 03:18 |
| knightmade | but when I tried to modify it with ldapmodify and rootDN, it reports "ldap_modify: Insufficient access (50)" | 03:18 |
| researcher123 | is there any application which can help me find duplicate files and remove them? | 03:18 |

| knightmade | same error | 03:19 |
| batmite | Gparted should get you there.. whats happening? | 03:20 |
| Millo | it's not there | 03:20 |
| Millo | my internal shows, my live usb shows | 03:20 |

| Millo | it was working in testdisk before, but when i tried a search on it it came up with some error, i closed termina; as it had crashed, and it's no longer showing | 03:20 |
| researcher123 | is there a channel to study the reviews of Ubuntu 13.04? | 03:20 |
| knightmade | shat error? what's meanings? | 03:21 |
| somsip | knightmade: Maybe this will help: http://serverfault.com/questions/451869/ldap-modify-insufficient-access-50 | 03:21 |

| ArcticLight | hi there... I'm having a bit of a problem with a new 13.04 install. Does anyone know the "correct" way to run a graphical application (like Nautilus or Gedit) as root? All of the documentation online still says use gksudo but gksudo is not installed on 13.04 | 03:21 |
| somsip | !gksudo | ArcticLight | 03:22 |
| ubottu | ArcticLight: If you need to run graphical applications as root, use « gksudo », as it will set up the environment more appropriately. Never just use "sudo"! (See http://psychocats.net/ubuntu/graphicalsudo to know why) | 03:22 |
| ArcticLight | Um. | 03:22 |
| ArcticLight | Gksudo is not installed on 13.04 | 03:22 |
| Ari-Yang | ArcticLight, maybe sudo apt-get install gksudo ? | 03:22 |
| Ari-Yang | *shrugs* | 03:22 |
| somsip | ArcticLight: sorry - just read through properly... | 03:22 |
| ArcticLight | I know you *can* install it, it's just that it's been removed and the reports I've read show that it's been removed for a reason, and might not be available in future ubuntu systems | 03:22 |
| Blue1 | knightmade: this may/may not help: http://pkill-9.com/how-to-easily-do-sudo-in-debian/ | 03:23 |
| ArcticLight | I wanted to know what's in place to do the same thing (e.g. what's the "right" way to do it now in 13.04) | 03:23 |
| batmite | Millo: Have you tried "disk-utility"? might be called "disks" now | 03:23 |
| Millo | sec | 03:24 |
| Millo | is there a terminal command? | 03:24 |
| Millo | ah | 03:24 |
| Millo | in it, it's not showing | 03:24 |
| batmite | ok | 03:24 |
| Millo | since that bad sector error/my closing terminal via the X it's not showing anywhere | 03:24 |
| loganlee_ | Millo: http://pastebin.com/tP32U6T0 | 03:25 |
| Millo | before, the only place that found it was testdisk | 03:25 |
| batmite | yeah | 03:25 |
| Millo | loganlee_ - I don't understand? | 03:25 |
| ArcticLight | milo: The disk utility from the command line is gnome-disks in 13.04, it's probably something different in Ubuntu 12 | 03:25 |
| Millo | thanks ArcticLight - I found the app in the list | 03:25 |
| batmite | unplug the usb, plug it in and do "dmesg" in terminal. you'll at least have the right path.. | 03:26 |
| Millo | it WAS sdc3 | 03:26 |
| batmite | cant you wipe it with "dd" also? | 03:26 |
| somsip | ArcticLight: where did you read that gksudo has been removed? | 03:26 |
| Millo | dd? | 03:26 |
| Millo | sorry, sdc, not sdc3 | 03:26 |
| ArcticLight | Ari-Yang: sudo apt-get install gksu will work, I'm just wondering why it's not installed by default, and what the decision was to remove it? | 03:27 |
| batmite | type dd -h | 03:27 |
| batmite | or --help | 03:27 |
| Ari-Yang | ArcticLight, if I were you, I'd just google to find out why it was removed.... | 03:27 |
| Ari-Yang | surely somebody has asked that before | 03:27 |
| ArcticLight | somsip: http://meta.askubuntu.com/questions/6634/psa-gksu-is-no-longer-installed-by-default | 03:27 |
| batmite | Ari-Yang: lol took the words out of my mouth | 03:27 |
| ArcticLight | Ari-Yang: Apparently it's over some security issues, but nowhere does anyone say what I'm supposed to use instead | 03:28 |
| ArcticLight | they mention pkexec, but that doesn't run graphical programs either | 03:28 |
| OerHeks | why no gksudo > http://askubuntu.com/a/284717 | 03:29 |
| somsip | ArcticLight: In general the development team would prefer us not to use GUI applications as root but to use sudo and the command line instead. | 03:29 |
| din | why not just use sudo? | 03:29 |
| Ari-Yang | ArcticLight, I say install gksudo... is gksu installed? | 03:29 |
| knightmade | But I don't known the password of the DN "cn=admin,olcDatabase={1}hdb,cn=config" or "cn=admin,cn=config"^ | 03:29 |
| Millo | load of stuff came up for dmesg | 03:29 |
| somsip | ArcticLight: or it suggests to sudo -i to setup the env, then run the GUI program | 03:30 |
| Ari-Yang | I mean, if gksudo doesn't work, just remove it... | 03:30 |
| batmite | your usb should be near the end of you unplugged it and plugged it back in | 03:30 |
| somsip | ArcticLight: both of these on http://askubuntu.com/questions/284306/why-is-gksu-no-longer-installed-by-default-in-13-04 linked to fromt he page you gave | 03:30 |
| batmite | sdb something usually | 03:30 |
| Millo | it was sdc before | 03:30 |
| batmite | or sdc etc | 03:30 |
| batmite | yeah | 03:30 |
| Millo | pastebin.com/yJfCckBy | 03:30 |
| ArcticLight | somesip: um........ so the answer to my question is essentially "Don't"... | 03:30 |
| ArcticLight | ? | 03:31 |
| knightmade | ldapmodify -D "cn=admin,cn=config" -W -x -f xxxx.lidf => ldap_bind: Invalid credentials (49) ... | 03:31 |
| somsip | ArcticLight: the answer is, the dev team encourage you to use sudo, and that is done by sudo -i to setup the env in the same way that (I assume) gksudo did | 03:31 |
| somsip | no - not right | 03:31 |
| otend | I'm having trouble finding methods of removing the LVM data from the Ubuntu Server USB | 03:32 |
| otend | or in general | 03:32 |
| Ari-Yang | @ ArcticLight might want to also look at this http://meta.askubuntu.com/questions/6634/psa-gksu-is-no-longer-installed-by-default | 03:32 |
| otend | well | 03:32 |
| somsip | ArcticLight: use sudo and a CLI program, or use sudo -i and GUI if you must. That's my interpretation | 03:32 |
| ArcticLight | somesip: If I understand the -i command correctly, it won't set it up the same way | 03:32 |
| otend | not FROM the USB, but from a volume as I use the installation USB | 03:32 |
| somsip | ArcticLight: I'm going from that URL. I don't use gksudo at all and always use CLI | 03:32 |
| din | otend: pvremove on your usb drive should wipe the label. | 03:33 |
| supertough | I used dd command to erase my usb | 03:33 |
| Lusha | hello | 03:34 |
| supertough | but when i replug it is not completely destroy | 03:34 |
| ArcticLight | somesip: what about using a text editor like gedit? Where I can use my mouse? I realize that some people like the terminal, and I do use nano where it's appropriate. But sometimes I need to move a system file across a network, and that's easier using Nautilus as root, or need to open lots of system files at once and copy/paste (which is easier usin | 03:34 |
| ArcticLight | g gedit) | 03:34 |
| supertough | only way I can get it to recognize is to restart | 03:34 |
| ArcticLight | somesip: Oh well | 03:34 |
| Lusha | can some one help me with Java? | 03:34 |
| ArcticLight | somesip: I'll keep looking I guess | 03:34 |
| Morph4me | use mkfs.vfat /dev/sdXY to wipe your usb | 03:34 |
| ArcticLight | Lusha: I know quite a bit about java, what do you need help with? | 03:34 |
| din | supertough: you used something like dd if=/dev/zero of=/dev/sdb bs=8M ? | 03:35 |
| somsip | ArcticLight: I can only reiterate what's said on the URL. Good luck | 03:35 |
| ArcticLight | somesip: Thanks for your help anyway | 03:35 |

| Lusha | I think i need to change some thing in the line but i dont know what needs to be changed | 03:36 |

| _PehdeN_ | lts. | 03:40 |
| Blue1 | Lusha: tried? | 03:40 |
| Lusha | ya. | 03:40 |
| somsip | _PehdeN_: and? If you want to install them, that's how you do it. You may not want to install them. | 03:40 |
| din | _Pheden_: tried installing them individually? | 03:41 |
| Lusha | This is what i am trying | 03:41 |
| Lusha | http://www.liberiangeek.net/2012/04/install-oracle-java-runtime-jre-7-in-ubuntu-12-04-precise-pangolin/ | 03:41 |
| _PehdeN_ | no, ill just run that install. | 03:41 |
| _PehdeN_ | id rather have the latest kernel | 03:41 |
| somsip | _PehdeN_: warning - yesterday someone complained that doing a dist-upgrade on their LTS server caused them problems. YMMV | 03:41 |
| _PehdeN_ | hmm. | 03:42 |
| _PehdeN_ | so how would i update these manually | 03:42 |
| Blue1 | Lusha: this shows in my xubuntu system: openjdk-7-jre so sudo apt-get install openjdk-7-jre | 03:42 |
| somsip | _PehdeN_: that question makes no sense. Can you rephrase? | 03:42 |
| Lusha | I wonder if the sudo mkdir -p /usr/lib/jvm/jre1.7.0 should be sudo mkdir -p /usr/lib/jvm/jre1.7.5 ? | 03:43 |
| Lusha | Cause its update 5? | 03:43 |
| din | sudo apt-get install linux-image-server maybe? | 03:43 |
| Blue1 | Lusha: just use the sudo command I gave above. | 03:43 |
| Lusha | Ill try it | 03:43 |
| roasted | Question - is anybody good with synclient? On my laptop when I tap to select, the cursor moves a bit, making it a little wonky to use. I'm trying to find a synclient parameter that doesn't move my cursor when I tap on the touchpad. Any insight? | 03:44 |
| _PehdeN_ | how would I try installing them individually | 03:44 |
| somsip | _PehdeN_: you would break something even if you found a way to do that. Use apt-get. | 03:44 |
| th0r | roasted, you might try MaxTapTime and MaxTapMove | 03:45 |
| _PehdeN_ | ok | 03:45 |
| roasted | th0r: thanks. I'll dig them up. | 03:45 |
| Blue1 | Lusha: did that work for you? | 03:46 |

| OerHeks | dr_willis +1 | 03:49 |
| Lusha | it seems that its downloading the JDK ( at least on all ive done and checked) but I need JRE im pretty sure | 03:49 |
| somsip | Lusha: JRE is included in JDK IIRC | 03:49 |
| Lusha | Tell that to wine | 03:49 |
| Lusha | XD | 03:49 |
| roasted | th0r: I feel like there's a setting I'm missing. I was trying to dig up a man page or some sort of documentation that broke out each parameter and talked about it in greater detail. I figure then maybe something would stick out to me as being relevant to what I'm after. | 03:50 |

| ArcticLight | shiman6_: As far as I know, ubuntu doesn't do this well without the blueman application handling it. | 04:02 |
| shiman6_ | Blueman is already installed with the experimental checkbox checked | 04:03 |

Anyone know where i can start for something like this? | 04:12 |
| somsip | lil_danger: if it's the same area of the keyboard, there is a chance it is hardware. I'd suggest you make sure it is not before looking for software issues. | 04:12 |

| cyrano_ | shiman6 this previously worked and stopped working just yesterday | 04:14 |

| eph3meral | ap0c0lyps3: wifi connections dropping intermittently is not necessarily an ubuntu problem | 04:25 |
| shiman6_ | So, i'm trying to play music from my android 4.1 to lubuntu 13.04 via bluetooth audio. Blueman is givng me an error of "Connect failed: Stream setup failed", yet I was able to connect audio last week. (The audio never played through my speakers though) | 04:25 |
| swiss | [[thufir]]: i'd help you, but no experience with parole | 04:26 |
| eph3meral | ap0c0lyps3: I have that problem on my macbook, it depends mostly on the number of other people running wifi in your nearby vicinity (from what I can tell) | 04:26 |
| swiss | shiman6_: did either end update | 04:26 |
| eph3meral | but then again, ubuntu and wifi are notoriously fickle together | 04:26 |
| ap0c0lyps3 | Dr_willis_, I have searched the forums and found many different issues that seem similar, but seem to find no direct answer... However, I do need to findout my chipset and driver | 04:26 |
| [[thufir]] | swiss: ok, thanks. I really like parole, and am surprised it doesn't do this (properly). can't even find a mailing list for it. ok, well, what else is there? gnome-mplayer? | 04:26 |
| shiman6_ | swiss: what do you mean update? They're both paired, my android has media audio enabled and its set to automatically accept anything from lubuntu | 04:27 |
| swiss | shiman6_: i mean "apt-get update" or the android doing an update | 04:27 |
| swiss | apt-get upgrade | 04:27 |
| dr_willis_ | bbl | 04:27 |
| ap0c0lyps3 | eph3meral, it is not the connection itself... My Win7 Laptop, currently -right- beside my Ubuntu Desktop is currently staying connected perfectly fine | 04:27 |
| swiss | shiman6_: try setting verbosity flags on the ubuntu end | 04:27 |
| shiman6_ | swiss: the android phone is running the latest unrooted from LG, and ubuntu software is up to date | 04:28 |
| shiman6_ | swiss: okay | 04:28 |
| eph3meral | ap0c0lyps3: the fact that you said -right- beside is actually an indication of exactly what I just mentioned | 04:30 |
| eph3meral | possible signal interference with too many machines too close in proximity | 04:30 |
| eph3meral | maybe not, but it's quite a real problem that I've seen quite often | 04:30 |
| shiman6_ | swiss: how can I connect to bluetooth audio from the command line? | 04:30 |
| eph3meral | ap0c0lyps3: also, you get what you pay for with Ubuntu :P | 04:30 |
| swiss | shiman6_: what's the program that connects it? | 04:31 |
| swiss | stop that program, and run that program from the command line with verbosity flags | 04:31 |
| eph3meral | ap0c0lyps3: and unfortunately I believe wifi cards are largely suffering from similar problems to the old winmodem phenomenon | 04:31 |
| shiman6_ | swiss: blueman, i think. | 04:31 |
| eph3meral | ap0c0lyps3: so, basically, expect your Ubuntu wifi to be buggy, and be very happy when it's not | 04:31 |
| swiss | shiman6_: is it running as a service? | 04:31 |
| swiss | you might have to service blueman stop | 04:31 |
| ap0c0lyps3 | eph3meral: I had this same setup earlier this day, both of them running Win7, both of them remaining connected | 04:31 |
| eph3meral | ap0c0lyps3: also, this may be a perfect example of why you should research your hardware VERY thoroughly | 04:31 |
| swiss | shiman6_: i'm not familiar with the program, i'm just throwin you through general debugging procedures | 04:32 |
| ap0c0lyps3 | eph3meral: The moment I install Ubuntu, connection issues start flaring up like mad | 04:32 |
| eph3meral | ap0c0lyps3: again, pointing back to the most recent thing I just said "expect your Ubuntu wifi to be buggy, be glad when it's not" | 04:32 |
| eph3meral | ap0c0lyps3: believe me or don't, I'm just the messenger | 04:32 |
| shiman6_ | swiss: i know the bluetooth service is just called "bluetooth" | 04:32 |
| eph3meral | maybe one day it'll get figured out, but until corporate greed disappears, don't hold your breath | 04:32 |
| shiman6_ | swiss: ill stop that one and restart it | 04:32 |
| swiss | shiman6_: basically, find the process that's failing | 04:33 |
| eph3meral | ap0c0lyps3: and do HEAVY HEAVY research on your wifi chip before buying it and hoping it'll work with Ubuntu | 04:33 |
| swiss | and start it up in your command line (in the foreground) with verbosity | 04:33 |
| eph3meral | I mean, that's been the case for ever since linux started | 04:33 |
| * swiss is lucky, he's never had issues with wifi | 04:33 | |
| eph3meral | things are a bit better these days, but my last Win XP laptop which lasted me for like 5 years didn't start playing nice with any kind of linux until about 2 years after I bought it | 04:34 |

| eph3meral | ap0c0lyps3, it's just how things go in the linux world, which is why you must invest extra personal time to research what you buy and if you don't do that research, basically don't be surprised if you're disappointed | 04:34 |
| swiss | shiman6_: i'm gonna go try to find my dinner, i'll be back in a bit. keep trying to throw verbosity and debugging on the commands. Spawn as many terminals as you need to keep all the commands running in the foregroud | 04:35 |
| swiss | if you haven't figured it out by the time i come back, i'll help you | 04:35 |

| vfw | !sound | camilo_ | 04:40 |
| ubottu | camilo_: If you're having problems with sound, click the Volume applet, then Sound Preferences, and check your Volume, Hardware, Input, and Output settings. If that fails, see https://help.ubuntu.com/community/Sound - https://help.ubuntu.com/community/SoundTroubleshooting - http://alsa.opensrc.org/DmixPlugin - For playing audio files, see !players and !mp3. | 04:40 |

| ubottu | camilo_: En la mayoría de los canales de Ubuntu, se habla sólo en inglés. Si busca ayuda en español entre al canal #ubuntu-es; escriba "/join #ubuntu-es" (sin comillas) y presione intro. | 04:41 |
| camilo_ | llevo un par de horas en ubuntu-es y nada | 04:42 |
| swiss | shiman6_: how goes it? | 04:43 |
| vfw | camilo_: Inglés solamente aquí | 04:43 |
| shiman6_ | swiss: having trouble finding out how to start the bluetooth service with verbose settings | 04:43 |
| camilo_ | ok.... translate google | 04:44 |
| vfw | ok | 04:44 |
| swiss | shiman6_: okay, start the service, then run "ps aux" | 04:44 |
| swiss | and look for a bluetooth-like service | 04:44 |
| swiss | that's the command you'll run, but with a verbose setting | 04:44 |
| camilo_ | I have audio problems with ubuntu 13.04 | 04:44 |
| swiss | camilo_: what's the issue | 04:45 |
| camilo_ | no audio | 04:46 |
| swiss | camilo_: run "alsamixer" | 04:46 |
| swiss | does that work, and if so, does it show your sound cards | 04:47 |
| shiman6_ | swiss: ps aux says bluetoothd, but that program doesnt have a verbose switch | 04:47 |
| swiss | shiman6_: oh, leave that one running then | 04:47 |
| camilo_ | as I do that? | 04:47 |
| swiss | what's the program that should hook the bluetooth audio into your speakers? | 04:47 |
| shiman6_ | pulseaudio | 04:47 |
| swiss | camilo_: what is the output of "alsamixer" | 04:47 |
| shiman6_ | i believe | 04:47 |
| swiss | shiman6_: should it show up as a direct audio device? | 04:47 |
| swiss | actually, i have a droid here and bluetooth, i might be able to test this | 04:48 |
| shiman6_ | I dont think so. It was able to connect the audio service using blueman last week, when I was trying to find out why there was no sound when pavucontrol showed audio action | 04:48 |
| shiman6_ | maybe i should reboot | 04:49 |
| swiss | shiman6_: stop bluetooth | 04:49 |
| swiss | bluetooth -d -n | 04:49 |
| camilo_ | wait | 04:49 |
| swiss | shiman6_: tell me all the programs you were using to do this | 04:50 |
| swiss | and what the exact goal was | 04:50 |
| camilo_ | I have Xfce | 04:51 |
| shiman6_ | i'm using service to start and stop bluetooth, using blueman to connect to the device, pulseaudio and pavucontrol to connect to and output the a2dp stream | 04:51 |
| shiman6_ | also, running bluetooth -d -n just gave something interesting. | 04:51 |
| shiman6_ | swiss: D-Bus setup failed: Connection ":1.140" is not allowed to own the service "org.bluez" due to security policies in the configuration file | 04:52 |
| FusionX | Gparted is unable to mount my other ntfs partition and says "the enclosing drive for the volume is locked" while I'm able to mount the partitions with the "mount" command. | 04:52 |
| FusionX | what is the problem? | 04:52 |
| camilo_ | alsamixer does not work on Xfce | 04:52 |
| swiss | shiman6_: sounds like its a configuration issue | 04:53 |
| shiman6_ | swiss: which configuration file do i need to edit? | 04:54 |
| camilo_ | swiss: alsamixer does not work on Xfce | 04:54 |
| swiss | shiman6_: i'd guess bluetoothd | 04:54 |
| swiss | camilo_: I don't think that's xfce: you have an alsa sisue | 04:55 |
| swiss | shiman6_: try apt-get purge bluetoothd then reinstalling that stuff | 04:55 |
| swiss | it'd be easier than figuring out the issue | 04:55 |
| shiman6_ | okay | 04:55 |

| nevyn | ArmoredDragoon: that hardware has been supported forever or so. | 05:01 |

| shiman6_ | swiss: I have another laptop with ubuntu, i'll give it a shot. | 05:06 |
| swiss | kk | 05:07 |
| swiss | OH | 05:08 |
| swiss | shiman6_: try running the bluetooth stuff as root... | 05:08 |
| swiss | dooo dee dooo | 05:08 |
| swiss | mine does the same as yours | 05:08 |
| swiss | i 100% forgot to tell you to root up first | 05:08 |
| swiss | http://i.imgur.com/mOvvOoc.png | 05:09 |
| shiman6_ | so i'm gonna get that unless i run root | 05:10 |
| swiss | right | 05:11 |
| swiss | so run sudo -i first | 05:11 |
| swiss | to get an interactive root prompt | 05:11 |
| shiman6_ | Whoa alright. This looks promising | 05:11 |
| shiman6_ | connection! | 05:12 |
| === moxy89 is now known as transit441 | ||

| swiss | is it showing up as a bluetooth device in audio? | 05:12 |
| shiman6_ | thats funny. I cant change to ad2p. it just wants to stay as none | 05:12 |
| shiman6_ | pavucontrol confirms a connection | 05:13 |
| swiss | what wants to stay as none? | 05:13 |
| shiman6_ | and the entirety of pulseaudio just crashed | 05:13 |
| swiss | now we can get into pulseaudio, which i'm good at :) | 05:13 |
| shiman6_ | swiss: i sense a need to just restart the system to get pulse running again | 05:16 |
| swiss | shiman6_: nope | 05:17 |
| swiss | shiman6_: in another terminal, pulseaudio --start | 05:17 |
| shiman6_ | Okay, pulse is back | 05:18 |
| swiss | now it still doesn't work, right? | 05:19 |
| shiman6_ | when i try to play music, the phone tells the computer to set audio streaming to ad2p and it kills pulse | 05:19 |
| shiman6_ | so, yes | 05:19 |
| swiss | hmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmm | 05:19 |
| swiss | and what does pulse say? | 05:19 |

| LXLE | anyone know what the windowing technology is on a mac? | 05:21 |
| shiman6_ | the mac UI is largely proprietary | 05:22 |
| shiman6_ | caes: if you freshly installed your system, no remote access ports are open | 05:22 |
| caes | thanks shiman. second (set of) question(s): does anyone here use MonoDevelop? | 05:23 |
| swiss | shiman6_: looks like it might be a known issue... | 05:24 |
| aeon-ltd | LXLE: what are you trying to achieve? | 05:24 |
| shiman6_ | swiss: you know, i was hoping that wasnt it XD | 05:24 |
| swiss | shiman6_: yeah.... but go try on your other laptop anyways | 05:24 |
| shiman6_ | besides, this is the first time this has happened too. Last week i was just dealing with connection, profile to a2dp was fine, just no sound | 05:25 |
| LXLE | aeon-ltd, i'm trying to find out what the name of the windowing system is | 05:25 |
| shiman6_ | The other laptop's bluetooth adapter doesnt support bluetooth audio | 05:25 |
| aeon-ltd | LXLE: no i mean after that | 05:25 |
| swiss | shiman6_: it looks like it might work off of the git | 05:26 |
| LXLE | aeon-ltd, there is no after that | 05:27 |
| shiman6_ | it seems like there's just no transport. is there a way to set that up? Also, is there a .deb package from the git? | 05:27 |
| aeon-ltd | LXLE: ok, but as a window manager it isn't very special or customizable | 05:28 |
| === JKL1234- is now known as JKL|Away | ||
| LXLE | aeon-ltd, uhm ok, but what is its name | 05:28 |

| alecb | lxappearance seems to immediately revert back to defaults when I close out of it and reopen. anyone know why that might be happening? | 05:30 |
| sawjig | aeon-ltd, it's not just the 'window manager' | 05:31 |
| aeon-ltd | LXLE: but getting the code to use it and modifying to work well on linux is a waste considering there are other WMs just as good or better | 05:31 |
| sawjig | aeon-ltd, it's also the display server | 05:31 |
| LXLE | aeon-ltd, i'm writing an article for god sake, put down your broken crystal ball | 05:32 |
| sawjig | Well it doesn't work like X so calling it the display server is not exactly correct. | 05:32 |
| sawjig | Regardless, it's not like X11 in Ubuntu. | 05:33 |
| aeon-ltd | LXLE: ok, but really if you wrote 'Mac OSX window manager' readers would know what you're talking about anyway | 05:33 |
| caes | would anyone know how to help me fix a bug in MonoDevelop? | 05:33 |
| sawjig | aeon-ltd, no, because it supports X11 | 05:34 |
| sawjig | aeon-ltd, so you can run many window managers on OSX | 05:34 |
| LXLE | aeon-ltd, well considering X11 is called and X window system | 05:35 |
| LXLE | i figured windowing system would be enough | 05:35 |
| LXLE | smartass | 05:35 |
| LXLE | and x11 nor quartz is a window manager | 05:35 |
| LXLE | just like openbox isn't a windowing system | 05:35 |
| LXLE | its a window manager | 05:36 |
| LXLE | i take the smartass back | 05:36 |
| sawjig | Quartz is rootless... | 05:36 |
| sawjig | so it is both... | 05:36 |
| LXLE | yes, but aqua is the window manager | 05:37 |
| sawjig | but that's largely just a technical point of clarification it doesn't really matter in terms of your question. You can just install X and use whatever WM you can find in homebrew. | 05:37 |
| sawjig | No, Aqua ia a theme. | 05:37 |
| LXLE | sawjig, better look that up again, its not just a theme | 05:38 |
| aeon-ltd | http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Aqua_(user_interface) underlying technology | 05:38 |
| shiman6_ | swiss: still alive there? | 05:38 |
| aeon-ltd | http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Quartz_Compositor defined as a windowing system | 05:38 |
| LXLE | aeon-ltd, yes windowing system | 05:39 |
| LXLE | not window manager | 05:39 |
| aeon-ltd | ok | 05:40 |
| sawjig | aeon-ltd, they're part of a single package for all intensive purposes. | 05:40 |
| aeon-ltd | intents? | 05:40 |
| caes | help with monodevelop? | 05:41 |
| aeon-ltd | fixing a bug sounds like something you should report to the developers | 05:42 |
| caes | it's this simple: there's a spot in one of the options menus in the GUI... | 05:45 |
| caes | it should be a field, but it's a sliver... you can tell something is there. | 05:45 |
| caes | it's the only thing keeping me from using it to compile hello world as a test. | 05:45 |
| caes | I'm wondering where i'd find the code to make the field the correct size | 05:46 |
| clcto | !enter | 05:47 |
| ubottu | Please try to keep your questions/responses on one line. Don't use the "Enter" key as punctuation! | 05:47 |
| LXLE | sawjig, for future reference aqua is the window manager and them, not quartz | 05:47 |
| caes | this is more to the point: where would i find the code that monodevelop sends to g++ when i try to build? | 05:49 |

| swiss | shiman6_: try it | 05:58 |
| swiss | parapan: delete old kernels | 05:58 |
| swiss | everything that isn't the biggst number is good to delete of each filetype | 05:59 |
| parapan | swiss: cool advice ...which are stored where ??? | 05:59 |
| swiss | they're all in /boot | 05:59 |
| swiss | /boot/vmlinuz, System.map | 06:00 |
| swiss | etc | 06:00 |
| swiss | you can do it the right way by apt-get purging them | 06:00 |
| swiss | with apt-get purge linux-image-(version) | 06:00 |
| parapan | swiss: K thanks . . . if I do it with nautilus should I be fine ? | 06:01 |
| Ben64 | no | 06:01 |
| swiss | sudo apt-get autoremove is the best way | 06:01 |
| parapan | swiss: thanks a lot | 06:01 |
| swiss | but if you're just trying to free up space, you can remove them manually. Nautilus run as root would let you do it | 06:01 |
| Ben64 | bad idea | 06:01 |
| parapan | Ben64: could you explain some more ? | 06:02 |
| swiss | Ben64: semi-bad. If you don't know what you're doing, yeah, you could screw it up | 06:02 |
| swiss | and it's not gonna clean up the modules folders | 06:02 |
| Ben64 | too easy to delete the wrong thing. just use the correct tools and its very easy | 06:02 |
| Ben64 | and it doesn't update grub, might mess up future updates | 06:02 |
| * swiss needs to remember he's not on gentoo anymore, and there are nice tools for this thing | 06:03 | |

| Kartagis | gm btw | 06:10 |
| swiss | jakey1: is there a reason you're using openoffice over libreoffice? | 06:10 |
| jakey1 | for variety | 06:10 |
| clcto | jakey1: then you will need to compile it | 06:10 |
| PlastikSpork | I know that you can use Samba protocol to share files on a network and this is compatible with Windows. Does Linux have its own networking protocol? | 06:11 |
| clcto | jakey1: or add a repo that has it | 06:11 |

| Kartagis | PlastikSpork: what do you want to achieve? | 06:15 |
| clcto | deckard: i think it is just apt-get install xfce4 | 06:15 |
| Kartagis | deckard: sudo apt-get install xubuntu should suffice | 06:15 |
| deckard | ty both, i recall the second one | 06:16 |
| deckard | xfce comes with it | 06:16 |
| Kartagis | clcto: does xfce4 install xubuntu as well? | 06:16 |
| clcto | deckard: yeah i guess just xfce4 wouldnt install the DM and such | 06:16 |
| deckard | sudo apt-get install xubuntu did not work | 06:17 |

| PlastikSpork | Kartagis: There are a few issues that I am having with Samba... for one I am unable to browse my networking via Nautilus... I click on browse network and then windows network and it finds no shared drives... very annoying... Also, why does the drive need to be mounted via fstab for me to be able to stream videos to my ubuntu laptop? | 06:17 |
| Kartagis | PlastikSpork: no idea, no experience with that | 06:18 |
| clcto | PlastikSpork: it needs to be mounted, but i doubt through fstab | 06:18 |
| deckard | how-to-geek says it is sudo apt-get install xubuntu-desktop (FYI) | 06:18 |
| clcto | deckard: thanks for the update | 06:19 |
| deckard | be well | 06:19 |
| clcto | deckard: you can always use apt-cache search | 06:19 |
| deckard | do you know the xubuntu channel/ | 06:19 |
| deckard | ? | 06:19 |
| PlastikSpork | Kartagis: if I open nautilus and press "ctrl+L" and then type smb://serverIP I am unable to stream video, but if I mount the network drive via fstab then I am able to stream video. | 06:20 |
| deckard | i do not know what that is, i will read about it, ty | 06:20 |

| nyuszika7h | cordor, how did you downgrade it? | 06:40 |
| histo | !downgrade | cordor | 06:40 |
| ubottu | cordor: Attempting to downgrade to an older Ubuntu version is explicitly not supported and may break your system. | 06:40 |

| Alina-malina | Hello all! Is there any mail caching server. For example the office has a very low internet connection, but the workers sending e-mails so e-mails go very slow and the most of the time workers have to wait for the process rather then typing e-mails. How it is possible to make work with yahoo, gmal and other e-mail services? So the workers submit their e-mails to that server, and server during 5-6 hours login to their accounts and send | 08:58 |

| auronandace | Voi: your partition table has absolutely no bearing on whether or not a driver would work | 09:04 |
| Voi | auronandace: idc if my 12.04 driver works, im going to install 13.04 over it, but i cant install 13.04 because my partition table is fubar and the installer wont recognize any os or partitions on my HDD :) | 09:04 |

| nabblet | histo: hm, i have no wpa_supplicant.conf - never created one though. i was asking about it, becuase i have trouble with reg domain of my wiki and wpa_supplicant may handle it according to this link i found in ubuntu forum http://wireless.kernel.org/en/users/Documentation/iw#Updating_your_regulatory_domain - but i wiill go with histo's advice first | 09:45 |

| histo | Kartagis: then if you have the ppa enabled it should pull the newer version | 09:51 |
| nabblet | llutz: maybe the swiss-settings are more compatible or something else is interfering... anyway, i'll set in DE an see what happens after reboot | 09:51 |
| nabblet | llutz: histo thank you two for your valuable input! i found several hints on crda, wpa_supplicant and all that on the web but was not able to make nails with heads of it | 09:52 |

| llutz | there is no real vi in most of the linux-distros since years, always just symlinks to vim | 10:42 |
| ActionParsnip | clcto: maybe but why add confusion when I can use the same editor on all OSes I come across. Doesn't make sense imho | 10:42 |
| ActionParsnip | llutz: doesn't seem to be in my case, or in Solaris :) | 10:43 |
| llutz | ActionParsnip: have you even read your own pasts? your "vi" links to alternatives/vi which is a link to vim.tiny | 10:44 |
| llutz | ActionParsnip: and Solaris is hardly a "linux-distro" | 10:44 |
| === zz_thebananafish is now known as thebananafish | ||

| ActionParsnip | jony_easyrider: sure, use cron | 10:57 |

| joker_ | hey guys, anyone knows how to fix a weird graphical corruption when I log in the first time? | 10:58 |
| cfhowlett | joker_, what kind of corruption? | 10:59 |
| joker_ | sec, i'll upload an image | 10:59 |
| joker_ | lots of huge pixels in random colors | 10:59 |
| Dr_willis | and if you log/back in it works properly joker_ ? | 10:59 |
| joker_ | well | 11:00 |
| clcto | jony_easyrider: how many people have to say cron before you understand | 11:00 |
| joker_ | it goes away when everything is loaded | 11:00 |
| joker_ | and with a second login there's none | 11:00 |
| shmoon | ok so, i am noob at this but, when i put my usb into ubuntu computer and see $ mount it says usb FS is vfat, maybe i want ext3/4 - how can i change ? | 11:00 |
| peestop | \ | 11:01 |
| clcto | shmoon: you have to format the drive | 11:01 |
| Dr_willis | shmoon, what fs to use.. depends on what you want to do with the USB flash drive. | 11:01 |
| shmoon | i am ready to do so clcto but what then | 11:01 |
| clcto | shmoon: gparted will work | 11:01 |

| shmoon | i want to transfer files from ubuntu to a mac i bought | 11:02 |
| shmoon | just dont wanan tar :P | 11:02 |
| dirkounet | hello,I do have problems with sound on my bluetooth speaker. Pairing and connecting works fine, but I get no sound | 11:02 |
| shmoon | wanna* | 11:02 |
| joker_ | it goes away after 3sec or so | 11:02 |
| joker_ | when everything loads | 11:02 |
| shmoon | want to go the harder way of mainting permissions and stuff | 11:02 |
| shmoon | maybe even transfer to windows as a backup dunno | 11:02 |
| dirkounet | instead i receive the following message: [pulseaudio] module-bluetooth-device.c: Profile has no transport | 11:02 |
| cfhowlett | joker_, any chance your graphics card is faulty? | 11:02 |
| clcto | shmoon: if you want windows it must be fat or ntfs | 11:02 |
| joker_ | nah I don't think so | 11:02 |
| joker_ | it's kinda old though | 11:02 |
| dirkounet | i am using ubuntu 13.04, does anyone have an idea? | 11:02 |
| joker_ | but there's no problem at all when everything is loaded | 11:02 |
| clcto | shmoon: windows linux and mac can read either | 11:02 |
| clcto | shmoon: gksu gparted | 11:03 |
| joker_ | nor was there any in win, but I don't plan going back :D | 11:03 |
| AtuM | dirkounet, must say I use logitech bt audio adapter for my speakers and that works just great with ubuntu 13.04 | 11:04 |
| hulu | $log $chroot $ROOT useradd -c "$RET" -k /etc/skel -m "$USER" $UIDOPT >/dev/null || true why not copy file from /etc/skel | 11:05 |
| hulu | who can help me | 11:05 |
| dirkounet | my creative D200 work also fine on 11.10. (girlfriends system) | 11:05 |
| AtuM | dirkounet, perhaps you're missing a package or the bt device doesn't get recognized right.. I'm not at the right machine to check.. but you might want to search in synaptic for bluetooth audio | 11:05 |
| dirkounet | its all correctly installed, pairing etc. works fine, no issue, out of the box | 11:05 |
| MonkeyDust | dirkounet use blueman to search bluetooth devices | 11:05 |
| Kartagis | clcto: so, do you have an opinion for me? | 11:06 |
| joker_ | anyone knows the command to get my video card's name? | 11:06 |
| joker_ | nvm | 11:07 |
| MonkeyDust | joker_ lspci ? | 11:07 |
| joker_ | yeah | 11:07 |
| dirkounet | MonkkeyDust, ok i will try and let you know | 11:07 |
| MonkeyDust | dirkounet can also be device-related: not every device can do anything over bluetooth | 11:08 |
| MonkeyDust | or every model | 11:08 |

| DoctorWedgeworth | is it possible/easy to downgrade PHP from 5.3.10-1ubuntu3.6 to 5.3.10-1ubuntu3.5 on 12.04? | 11:14 |
| k1l_ | DoctorWedgeworth: take a look at apt pinning | 11:15 |
| k1l_ | but be aware of some depencie problems if other packages want the newer package of php | 11:16 |
| joker_ | 'Could not create gnome accelerators directory `/home/joker/.gnome2/accels': Permission denied' when I want to start Firefox.. o.o | 11:16 |
| joker_ | i'll reinstall | 11:16 |
| joeytwiddle_ | i doubt that will help joker_ | 11:17 |
| joker_ | me too | 11:17 |
| joeytwiddle_ | don't you have permission to write to that folder? | 11:17 |
| DoctorWedgeworth | k1l_, forgive my lack of knowledge here, but I thought apt-pinning was to ensure only certain packages were upgraded from an additional repo (eg. backports), will the 12.04 repository still provide a copy of the older PHP so I can downgrade if I specify the version number? | 11:17 |
| muteb | has anybdy used rkhunter? | 11:17 |
| DoctorWedgeworth | joker_, does /home/joker/.gnome2 exist? It might be reporting the wrong error, try creating that directory | 11:17 |
| joker_ | sec | 11:18 |
| k1l_ | DoctorWedgeworth: pinning will keep a specific version number fixed. i think it must be in the repos for that, or at least in your apt-cache | 11:18 |
| joker_ | no but why does it want to use .gnome2? | 11:18 |
| joker_ | isn't unity built on top of gnome3? | 11:18 |
| joker_ | wait.. it does exist | 11:19 |
| DoctorWedgeworth | can you make a directory inside it as your user? | 11:19 |
| joker_ | i'll rm it | 11:19 |
| k1l_ | joker_: make sure your /home belongs to your user | 11:19 |
| DoctorWedgeworth | k1l_, ah yeah as I thought - it's for holding. I really need to downgrade, not prevent an upgrade | 11:19 |
| k1l_ | that is a common problem, when people go mad with sudo and root rights | 11:19 |
| joker_ | it does | 11:20 |
| dirkounet | MonkeyDust, purging bluetooth and using only blueman works! Thanks for the hint | 11:20 |
| shmoon | clcto: there? | 11:20 |
| k1l_ | DoctorWedgeworth: downgrade should work, too. iirc | 11:20 |
| shmoon | so changing fs reuires to format all data fist ? | 11:20 |
| MonkeyDust | dirkounet glad you're helped :) | 11:20 |
| joker_ | oh shit | 11:21 |
| jpds | shmoon: Yes? | 11:21 |
| joker_ | sec reboot | 11:21 |
| shmoon | jpds: ok, just curious, trying to understand. was wonderinf if fs could be changed without remving the data hehe | 11:22 |

| shmoon | so i formatted my pendrive to a different fs, but now i cannot write to it, any idea why ? :( | 11:51 |
| ActionParsnip | deoland: the host is just the OS running the virtualization, so if youare having issues installing that, then virtualization is not part of the issue | 11:52 |
| ActionParsnip | deoland: do you mean a guest OS running on a host system? | 11:52 |
| ActionParsnip | shmoon: what file system did you use? | 11:52 |

| nicktole | hello | 11:53 |
| shmoon | from vfat to ext4, ActionParsnip | 11:53 |
| shmoon | using gparted | 11:53 |
| nicktole | The previous question on virtualbox | 11:53 |
| ActionParsnip | shmoon: if you chown the mount point to your user, you should be ok | 11:53 |
| nicktole | I got a solution | 11:53 |
| deoland | i having this problem "Please install the virtualbox-ose-dkms package and execute 'modprobe vboxdrv' as root." | 11:53 |
| ActionParsnip | deoland: what is the output of: lsb_release -sc | 11:53 |
| Tking | ActionParsnip, thanks, it worked the URL u pasted | 11:53 |
| nicktole | if you are using ubuntu13.04 | 11:54 |
| nicktole | let me tell you,it doen't run there | 11:54 |
| nicktole | not stable | 11:54 |
| nicktole | have reported the bug | 11:54 |
| shmoon | ActionParsnip: mount point should be /media/sony or /dev/sdb1 ? | 11:54 |
| ActionParsnip | shmoon: sudo chown -R $USER:$USER /media/sony | 11:54 |
| ActionParsnip | shmoon: run that as I gave it, you'll be ok | 11:54 |
| ActionParsnip | nicktole: is the one from the virtualbox repo ok? | 11:55 |
| ActionParsnip | deoland: what is the output of: lsb_release -sc | 11:55 |
| ActionParsnip | deoland: its a terminal command | 11:55 |
| ActionParsnip | shmoon: assuming the mount point you gave is the one of the new ext4 partition you made | 11:56 |

| ActionParsnip | Kartagis: not sure, have you tried a different session? | 11:56 |
| shmoon | thanks ActionParsnip that works :D | 11:56 |
| shmoon | ActionParsnip: can you tell me something, if i take usb out and plug in again, /media/sony still has $#USER:$USER but not root:root - howcome ? | 11:57 |
| Kartagis | ActionParsnip: you mean like logout and back in? | 11:57 |
| ActionParsnip | shmoon: ext4 stores the owners and stuff correctly in Linux form, so is dead useful in Linux only storage | 11:57 |
| ActionParsnip | Kartagis: log in to a different session, could try out and back in to the same session, see if it helps | 11:57 |
| shmoon | ActionParsnip: hope the data i put in the usb remains intact iwth permissions and owner info when i transfer to mac too :) | 11:57 |
| ActionParsnip | shmoon: you chowned it, the UID of your user is stored in the file system | 11:57 |
| k610 | when i paste a large number of commands on the shell : some commands will break the flow and only the commands before the break point will actually be ran | 11:58 |
| Kartagis | ActionParsnip: I don't know how you log on to a different session | 11:58 |
| ActionParsnip | shmoon: just remember to use the safe remove feature in your OS each time you pull it out :) | 11:58 |
| ActionParsnip | Kartagis: at the login screen, you can choose the session. You can install xfce, kde and lxde then select which you want to use when you login | 11:58 |
| ActionParsnip | k610: could make a shell script and run that | 11:59 |
| Kartagis | oh, that | 11:59 |
| Kartagis | brb | 11:59 |
| ActionParsnip | Kartagis: what else..... | 11:59 |
| shmoon | ActionParsnip: actually what i mean is, when i plug out usb, /media/sony gets destroyed right ? then i plug in and the folder is back with the proper ownership info, howcome ? | 11:59 |
| === zz_thebananafish is now known as thebananafish | ||
| k610 | ActionParsnip, thing is none of the commands go in the history then | 11:59 |
| ActionParsnip | shmoon: the UID for each file is stored, just like it is in decent file systems, you can grant and deny access. The access you give is stored on the USB as well as the daat | 12:00 |
| ActionParsnip | k610: I guess | 12:00 |
| shmoon | oh i see got it thanks ActionParsnip | 12:00 |
| ActionParsnip | k610: could break it into smaller chunks, or make it one big command on one line | 12:00 |
| Kartagis | ActionParsnip: hrm, I'm on ubuntu 2d now, and it works. it doesn't work in cairo-dock | 12:00 |

| AtuM | FourFire, ran what? | 13:22 |
| compdoc | plumblum, not normal, no | 13:22 |
| cfhowlett | FourFire, stupid? no. | 13:22 |
| Guest97059 | i made chmod 755 for ir but after it has 750 | 13:23 |
| Guest97059 | someone could help me | 13:23 |
| AtuM | oh.. the uninstall wubi.exe.. from within wubi.. that can be fun.. | 13:23 |
| plumblum | compdoc, it should be around 80 that is normal speeds and i got that over the network with windows to windows machine, where should i start looking ? | 13:23 |
| Guest97059 | could someone help me with permissions to /usr/bin/apt-mirror | 13:24 |
| ActionParsnip | Guest97059: is it an NTFS partition which is holding the data? | 13:24 |
| deusAnima | How can i disable combination <alt> + ~ ? | 13:24 |
| Guest97059 | ext4 | 13:25 |
| Guest97059 | I set it with 755 but alone it changes to 750 | 13:26 |
| AtuM | Guest97059, it should stay 750 | 13:26 |
| compdoc | plumblum, its hard to say exactly, but copying large files and large amounts of files is one way of testing hardware setups. if it pauses and stops, etc. theres a problem. | 13:26 |
| AtuM | Guest97059, start using sudo for system-altering commands | 13:26 |
| compdoc | plumblum, is there a raid controller? | 13:27 |
| Guest97059 | AtuM, I need it with 755 | 13:27 |
| Guest97059 | I use cron to run it | 13:27 |
| AtuM | Guest97059, you don't. not really | 13:27 |
| plumblum | compdoc, there is, and i am copying large amount of files but no stopping starting :) | 13:27 |
| compdoc | plumblum, but not to the ubuntu pc? | 13:27 |
| Guest97059 | I need it has 755 to user apt-mirror can run it | 13:28 |
| plumblum | compdoc, what is ? the ubuntu machine has a raid controller and the windows machine does not and no one of them is starting stopping | 13:28 |
| plumblum | Hardware raid controller | 13:28 |
| Guest97059 | but something change the permission | 13:28 |
| AtuM | Guest97059, run whatever needs to be done using sudo.. have that user in sudoers and allow him access only to apt-mirror.. | 13:29 |
| FourFire | AtuM the windows uninstaller for Wubi , via Wine | 13:29 |
| compdoc | plumblum, you said copying was having problems | 13:29 |
| plumblum | compdoc, no its just slow as hell | 13:30 |
| compdoc | thats what I mean | 13:30 |
| Guest97059 | I can't do it ... :( I would like to know who is changing permissions to 750 | 13:30 |
| plumblum | same disks on a windows server gave 80 MB on the network and now its hanging out at 25 | 13:30 |
| plumblum | same disk * | 13:30 |
| FourFire | cfhowlett, do you recommend that I switch versions of Ubuntu to something else? (I don't have any important files on Ubuntu yet and not much invested in GUI/desk top environment so I won't mind trying something new) | 13:31 |
| AtuM | Guest97059, perhaps nothing is changing the file.. ever.. perhaps the chmod command does not work for that file.. have you checked that it changes? | 13:31 |
| buengenio | how do i re-enable GLX on XOrg and also add the option to disable the touchpad while typing? I have a Synaptic touch pad... | 13:32 |
| AtuM | Guest97059, but still.. there's no need for it to be 755. btw: change your nick to something not autogenerated | 13:32 |
| cfhowlett | FourFire, not necessary to switch distros, but I would advise you to check out the dual boot option. It's not so complicated as many people make it seem. | 13:32 |
| Guest97059 | the chmod work to that file .... but after the file lost permission and return to 750 | 13:33 |
| === CookieNinja is now known as OctoNinja | ||
| cfhowlett | FourFire, as far as what version, go with what you like. gnome ubuntu/kubuntu/xuubuntu/and vanilla ubuntu all have their charms. | 13:33 |
| AtuM | Guest97059, there's no such thing as "file lost permission" :) | 13:33 |
| Guest97059 | I need this permission to run apt-mirror on apt-mirror user (with no sudo) | 13:34 |
| AtuM | Guest97059, why don't you want to use sudo? | 13:35 |
| mosx1 | hi, I'm using ubuntu server 12.04, what would be considered recursive write permission on a folder ? chmod XXX ? | 13:35 |
| Guest97059 | I run in cron.d ... not a human user | 13:35 |
| === olli_ is now known as olli | ||
| AtuM | Guest97059, so what? you think cron files can't handle sudo commands? | 13:36 |
| === OctoNinja is now known as CookieNinja | ||
| MonkeyDust | Guest97059 i run cron jobs with sudo, by using sudo crontab -e | 13:37 |
| mosx1 | anyone help me out ? | 13:37 |
| AtuM | MonkeyDust, that's editing root's crontab, not running cron jobs with sudo | 13:37 |
| Guest97059 | Ok... but now I would know who change permission to 750 after | 13:38 |
| mosx1 | recursive write permission on a folder ? what's that 755 ? | 13:38 |
| Guest97059 | :( it is my problem | 13:38 |
| llutz | mosx1: man chmod | 13:38 |
| MonkeyDust | AtuM correct, if you want to run cron jobs that require sudo | 13:38 |
| AtuM | MonkeyDust, ok.. I don't want to argue semantics | 13:39 |
| FourFire | Alright that's that | 13:40 |
| FourFire | time to learn about Dualboot was it? | 13:40 |
| FourFire | ok | 13:40 |
| njillings | What is your specific item FourFire? | 13:40 |
| cfhowlett | !dualFourFire, | 13:40 |
| Guest97059 | AtuM, thanks for help ... I'll back later | 13:41 |
| cfhowlett | !dual|FourFire, | 13:41 |
| AtuM | MonkeyDust, sometimes, when you need to run some stuff at boot-up using rc.local, you use sudo -u <user> -c <commands> .. that's running commands with sudo (when you need them to run as some other user).. | 13:41 |
| cfhowlett | !dualboot|FourFire, | 13:41 |
| ubottu | FourFire,: Dual boot instructions: x86/AMD64: https://help.ubuntu.com/community/DualBoot/Windows - Macs: https://help.ubuntu.com/community/MacBookPro https://help.ubuntu.com/community/YabootConfigurationForMacintoshPowerPCsDualBoot | 13:41 |
| njillings | Dual booting is very easy to do, Ubuntu Install assumes dual boot generally | 13:41 |
| FourFire | well first i was wondering if A noob like me could possibly repartion their disk but then I got the impression that a Wubi install is an inferior option so I'll do that first | 13:41 |
| njillings | at least, gives you the option | 13:41 |
| droobey_ | Im having a issue running Steam, run it try to login immediately goes cant connect. Ubuntu 13.04 x64 | 13:42 |
| njillings | FourFire: The Ubuntu Installer has a partition manager and guides you through creating the dual boot for you | 13:42 |
| FourFire | which installer is this? | 13:42 |
| njillings | droobey_ : had a similar issue with x64. On steam website it should have specific instructions as to running their software which is x32 | 13:42 |
| FourFire | is it the WindowsUbuntuinstaller.exe? | 13:43 |
| njillings | FourFire: The installer on the Ubuntu Disk / USB you make. Put CD into drive and boot from the disk | 13:43 |
| njillings | FourFire: Gives you the option to run it 'Live' or to install | 13:43 |
| FourFire | hmm how large does the stick have to be (capacity) ? | 13:43 |
| njillings | FourFire: At least 750MB for the CD version, at least 4.5GB for the DVD | 13:44 |
| cfhowlett | FourFire, 4 g minimum I would think | 13:44 |
| sk8r | 2g should be plenty | 13:44 |
| FourFire | because like I said i installed it via windows (but without using a disk or thumbdrive | 13:44 |
| sk8r | for steam? | 13:44 |
| mosx1 | sorry missed any responses there....dodgy internet conn | 13:44 |
| mosx1 | what's the correct permissions for php files? | 13:44 |
| FourFire | and this guy I know did some things on it later and this is the OS I'm using now | 13:45 |
| njillings | FourFire: so you're in Ubuntu now? And want to install Windows alongside? | 13:45 |
| FourFire | no | 13:45 |
| mosx1 | 644? | 13:45 |
| FourFire | I have windows | 13:45 |
| FourFire | I reboot my computer and I can select between windows and Ubuntu | 13:46 |
| njillings | FourFire: OK, so you already have a dual boot system then | 13:46 |
| FourFire | (it defaults to windows, unless I manually select Ubuntu) | 13:46 |
| FourFire | ok | 13:46 |
| cfhowlett | njillings, he's got wubi | 13:46 |
| FourFire | so now can I possibly repartion my Disk | 13:46 |
| FourFire | Yeah I installed this OS via windows | 13:46 |
| k1l_ | FourFire: you used wubi installer. you cant repartitionate because that is not a partition | 13:46 |
| FourFire | so I'm wondering if I can/should install Ubuntu "properly" before doing anything else | 13:47 |
| k1l_ | FourFire: you should consider doing a real install | 13:47 |
| njillings | FourFire: OK, not a user of WUBI | 13:47 |
| MonkeyDust | FourFire wubi is only a pseudo-installation, it's not the real thing | 13:47 |
| njillings | FourFire: Long term I'd say give it its own real partition | 13:47 |
| FourFire | Now is this dual booting thing more risky than WUBI? | 13:48 |
| MonkeyDust | FourFire wubi is something inside windows, it's not independent from it | 13:48 |
| sk8r | kinda like a vm machine | 13:48 |
| cfhowlett | FourFire, nope. much safer. wubi files are under your windows system, so all the weaknesses of windows are in force. | 13:48 |
| FourFire | because I don't have a spare hard drive and I do NEED the data I have access to in windows | 13:48 |
| k1l_ | FourFire: wubi ist the most risky. | 13:49 |
| nuclearbob_ | is anybody here super clever with bash prompt escape sequences? | 13:49 |
| erdinc | Merhaba linux severler | 13:49 |
| njillings | FourFire: If you do it wrong, yes. If you delete your Windows Partition you'll remove Windows. Best way to create a partition is inside Windows, that way you can manage it. | 13:49 |
| mosx1 | when I upload files via ftp to my webserver, running apache btw, they have permissions 600. | 13:49 |
| FourFire | I mean like something going wrong in the installation process | 13:49 |
| mosx1 | 600 seems a bit too restrictive...is that normal ? | 13:49 |
| njillings | FourFire: As I said though, the Ubuntu LiveCD guides you through setting up a dual-boot | 13:49 |
| pagios | hello | 13:49 |
| cfhowlett | FourFire, wont' say it's impossible. I would merely point out that wubi is being discontinued for dern good reason ... | 13:49 |
| FourFire | ok, I think I'll hold off until I make one of those then | 13:49 |
| pagios | how can i set a password on my console usb port? | 13:50 |
| FourFire | yeah I understand | 13:50 |
| MonkeyDust | FourFire ubuntu is a lot easier to install than that other OS | 13:50 |
| pagios | when i connect usb i just go into root without supplying any password | 13:50 |
| FourFire | > that other OS haha | 13:50 |
| pagios | i would like to have the tty login | 13:50 |
| FourFire | which one is that? | 13:50 |
| njillings | FourFire: It really does hand-hold you through, and there are guides on the Ubuntu Website with screen-shots to help you create a dual-boot system | 13:50 |
| FourFire | ok thanks for your help | 13:51 |
| FourFire | I'll be back here sometime | 13:51 |
| sk8r | gedit can be used as html editor correct? | 13:53 |
| njillings | sk8r: Yep, any text editor can | 13:53 |
| njillings | sk8r: just remember to save with the correct extension such as .html | 13:53 |
| TheHackOps | sk8r, Yes it even does syntax highlighting | 13:53 |
| Panama | Is anyone here capable of offering assistance with a WINE issue I am having? | 13:53 |
| sk8r | i figured it would be easier to set it aside for that since it is used for .sh anyways so that i don't confuse it.... | 13:54 |
| cfhowlett | !details|Panama, | 13:54 |
| ubottu | Panama,: Please give us full details. For example: "I have a problem with ..., I'm running Ubuntu version .... When I try to do ..., I get the following output: ..., but I expected it to do ..." | 13:54 |

| TheHackOps | njillings, BlueFish is also good | 13:56 |
| |nv|s|b|e | I have a serious question, but, before you ask the bot to tell me to ask, i have to ask, is it safe ? | 13:56 |
| TheHackOps | If you want Auto-complete | 13:56 |
| TheHackOps | Intelisense | 13:56 |
| TheHackOps | Or PHP storm if you dont mind Java's lag on older machines | 13:56 |
| njillings | invisible: is what save... | 13:56 |
| xlaire | hello everyone | 13:56 |
| cfhowlett | xlaire, greetings | 13:56 |
| njillings | TheHackOps: Have used blue_fish. My personal fav at the moment is Aptana 3. Does all, JavaScript, PHP, HTML and even Ruby Apps | 13:56 |
| sk8r | figured it would be easier to teach myself to use what i already have so i dont have to change but still convert if necessary to turn in. | 13:57 |
| TheHackOps | sk8r, Just starting html? | 13:57 |
| sk8r | yea. | 13:57 |
| TheHackOps | Dont use intelisense | 13:57 |
| |nv|s|b|e | I want full confidence that i wont be ostracized for asking a serious question that in it self, has the ability to upset some peoples apple carts. | 13:57 |
| njillings | sk8r: It depends on how much help you want. Some people (like me) like having it complete certain lines for you. If you enjoy writing out every line, and a lot do, then text editors are good. | 13:57 |
| xlaire | just want to sit, watch and learn | 13:57 |
| TheHackOps | |nv|s|b|e, go for it | 13:57 |
| sk8r | i used visual basic like 15 yrs ago it seems in high school but this is different | 13:58 |
| cfhowlett | |nv|s|b|e, we won't ostracize ... but we WILL ridicule ... | 13:58 |
| njillings | xlaire: always welcome | 13:58 |
| TheHackOps | njillings, It curbs the learning process alot | 13:58 |
| TheHackOps | Doesn't force you to remember things | 13:58 |

| Panama | I am having a problem with getting a game to run in the resolution that is native to my monitor. I'm running Ubuntu 12.04, with WINE version 1.5.29... The game will run in the proper resolution, if I set it to "Emulate Desktop", however this also has intermittent issues of having the launch bar and the top bar appear over the entire game, making it so that I cannot see everything in game | 13:59 |
| njillings | TheHackOps: generally cuts the number of mistakes at times as well | 13:59 |

| TheHackOps | sk8r, As someone who teaches people this stuff im telling you make as many mistakes as your can | 14:00 |
| TheHackOps | then fix as many as you can | 14:00 |
| njillings | sk8r: html is a universal language. Just learn the rules. If you make a mistake, don't give up, solve it | 14:01 |
| njillings | sk8r: TheHackOps speaks the truth! | 14:01 |
| TheHackOps | It allows critical thinking | 14:01 |
| sk8r | and as i understand it if you use a wysiwyg kind of editor there is exta unneeded lines in the code | 14:01 |
| TheHackOps | ew wysiwyg | 14:01 |
| sk8r | thx hackops | 14:01 |
| njillings | sk8r: depends what you mean by unneeded. Whitespaces are fine, even make it easy to read. Look up the source on Google, I dare you. It's just one big line | 14:02 |
| sk8r | just reading about it made me think wtf? | 14:02 |

| TheHackOps | Would be more than happy to help u there | 14:04 |
| njillings | sk8r: yeah, keep it simple for you. If you can achieve it in one line, do that. I have seen many 'optimising' and 'time-saving' programs that do the opposite | 14:04 |

| Criten_ | xlaire, do you have ssh to the box? | 14:07 |
| njillings | xlaire: your hosting company should have sent you details. But usually it's done by shh or sftp | 14:07 |
| njillings | xlaire: sorry, ssh not shh! | 14:07 |
| xlaire | no, ssh need to pay | 14:07 |
| xlaire | thx guys | 14:07 |
| njillings | xlaire: it should have sftp though. Thats the Secure File Transfer Protocol | 14:07 |
| sk8r | that is what i was thinking, njillings. simplicity. | 14:07 |
| njillings | xlaire: so you edit on your machine, then send the file up | 14:07 |
| sk8r | they say you can tell who wrote a program or site just by looking at the way the code is written. | 14:08 |
| KidBeta | how do i redirect the output of a program so nothing gets displayed in stdout (ie terminal) | 14:08 |
| njillings | sk8r: it's like writing anything. You have a certain way of coding and of solving problems. | 14:08 |

| hubbabubba | hi, when using apt-get upgrade, i see linux-headers-generic linux-image-generic is this the upgrade to ubuntu 13? or why are they kept back? | 14:17 |
| somsip | hubbabubba: you have to say you really want to install them with 'apt-get dist-upgrade' | 14:18 |
| njillings | franceso_: do you mean something to erase CD-RWs? | 14:18 |
| |nv|s|b|e | kb3 | 14:18 |
| hubbabubba | somsip: so this bring me to ubuntu 13? (i don't want that) | 14:18 |
| Pici | !dist-upgrade | hubbabubba no | 14:18 |
| ubottu | hubbabubba no: A dist-upgrade will install new dependencies for packages already installed and may remove packages if they are no longer needed. This will not bring you to a new release of Ubuntu, see !upgrade if that is your intention. | 14:18 |
| francesco_ | njillings, no, I mean something to clean the CD drives. | 14:18 |
| njillings | hubbabubba: it generally won't update the linux header files from apt-get. not sure why though. Otherwise if you load up the package update GUI, it will help | 14:18 |
| hubbabubba | Pici: njillings somsip thx | 14:19 |

| njillings | francesco_: AH. I see! Thought you meant CD drives. That guide is for HDDs | 14:22 |
| francesco_ | Pici, a CD cleaner is a «special» CD that allows you to clean the device that reads the CD/DVD, when they get dirty. | 14:22 |
| |nv|s|b|e | lol | 14:22 |
| njillings | francesco_: So you want to wipe your HDD then? | 14:22 |
| sere | anyone know a good program to use my driod as a wireless keyboard and mouse | 14:23 |
| MonkeyDust | not sure what francesco_ means | 14:23 |
| |nv|s|b|e | he wants to physically clean the optics | 14:23 |
| xlaire | open your cd player and get a cottonbuds and clean it gently | 14:23 |
| francesco_ | No, the CD cleaner that I have has some kind of a «brush» on in it, that cleans the device that reads the CD/DVD. | 14:23 |
| MonkeyDust | i use my shirt to clean disks | 14:23 |
| xlaire | then open the cd drive and let the lens read the cd cleaner | 14:24 |
| Raccoon1400 | I am using the nvidia drivers, but I can't get it to save my monitor configuration. The nvidia settings thing saves to xorg.conf, which then gets ignored on reboot. Ideas? | 14:24 |
| xlaire | it will clean | 14:24 |
| |nv|s|b|e | it has to be non abrasive and chemical free | 14:24 |
| njillings | francesco_: OK, that link you gave is NOT what you are on about. Software will not clean a physical drive | 14:24 |
| sk8r | toothpaste will clean discs well. just be really gentle | 14:24 |
| xlaire | lol | 14:24 |
| |nv|s|b|e | i cant believe we have digressed to this | 14:24 |
| njillings | Raccoon1400: you change and save as sudo? | 14:24 |
| sk8r | lolo | 14:24 |
| francesco_ | I already have a cd cleaner, but the software installed is for windows. | 14:25 |
| njillings | |nv|s|b|e: Its a fun afternoon | 14:25 |
| |nv|s|b|e | i c | 14:25 |
| xlaire | open the cd drive | 14:25 |
| sk8r | or morning depending on where you are | 14:25 |
| francesco_ | What do you do when the lenses of your CD/DVD drive gets dirty? | 14:25 |
| xlaire | the lens will read it | 14:25 |
| deusAnima | How can i disable combination <alt> + ` ? | 14:25 |
| xlaire | and clean the lens | 14:25 |
| Raccoon1400 | njillings: yes, I did it with the nvidia graphical utility. The file is there, too. | 14:25 |
| ActionParsnip | francesco_: buy a cd cleaner disk | 14:25 |
| njillings | francesco_: Not let it get dirty in the first place. Never in all my years have I needed to clean a drive | 14:25 |
| xlaire | francisco has cleaner disk | 14:26 |
| xlaire | he need a software to perform the clean | 14:26 |
| |nv|s|b|e | for what its worth, most optics are plastic nowadays, so, beware of your methods as well as any chemicals you use. | 14:26 |
| francesco_ | xlaire, The CD cleaner is a disk with a certain software installed in it, and it also provided with a little «brush» on its surface. When you insert the CD, the software installed tells the drive to put the lens under the little «brush» to let it clean it. | 14:27 |
| njillings | francesco_: I don't know any Linux specific software, have you tried installing your software under WINE? | 14:27 |
| soulflare3 | they make disk cleaners that have small bristles that can clean the eye of a CD/DVD drive, never used them tho so not sure how well they work | 14:27 |
| francesco_ | njillings, no. I don't. | 14:27 |
| xlaire | but if you let the drive read the disk, it will certainly read all the parts of the cd | 14:27 |
| soulflare3 | you can't software clean a CD/DVD drive if there are physical foreign objects on the lense ._. | 14:28 |
| pm_ | better get new cd from vendor | 14:28 |
| francesco_ | xlaire, yes. But it is less «efficient». | 14:28 |
| |nv|s|b|e | collectively, depending on your ambient humidity, a can of air can usually accommodate sufficiently. | 14:28 |
| njillings | soulflare3: he has a CD cleaner disk, but needs the software to actually run it | 14:29 |
| olivier_bK | hi | 14:29 |
| francesco_ | xlaire, actually, the software tell the lens to go under the «brush» for a while, and then it follows a routine to establish if the lens is clean. Otherwise, it follows this procedure again. | 14:29 |
| olivier_bK | somebody use audacity ?? | 14:30 |
| xlaire | i understand but i don't know any app for linux | 14:30 |
| olivier_bK | i've installed audacity2.0 on my ubuntu-12.10 | 14:30 |
| soulflare3 | njillings, I was not aware they actually needed software being that they can also clean CD and DVD players, that do not use software | 14:30 |
| olivier_bK | is missing the menu bar | 14:30 |
| njillings | olivier_bK: explain further | 14:30 |
| xlaire | you may want to search for windows version and run in wine | 14:30 |
| MonkeyDust | olivier_bK i do | 14:30 |
| olivier_bK | ?? | 14:30 |
| njillings | soulflare3: tbh, I never have needed to use one | 14:30 |
| pm_ | download from torrentz | 14:30 |
| MonkeyDust | olivier_bK it's in the speaker icon | 14:30 |
| olivier_bK | os how did you do for export your projet | 14:30 |
| francesco_ | Question: what would you suggest me to clean the lenses of my cd/dvd drive? | 14:31 |
| xlaire | for me, i suggest manually using cottonbuds | 14:31 |
| xlaire | open it gently wipe the lens | 14:32 |
| francesco_ | xlaire, «rough»! :D | 14:32 |
| xlaire | be sure it is the drive has a defect | 14:32 |
| xlaire | i am stupid, let the expert answer your question, going afk | 14:32 |
| Pici | francesco_: This sort of has gotten offtopic for #ubuntu, ##hardware would be a better place to get an answer. | 14:32 |
| auronandace | francesco_: perhaps better asked in ##hardware | 14:32 |
| philinux | francesco_: try amazon. lots of stuff | 14:32 |
| pm_ | remove drive from machine & give it to repair to hardware vendor | 14:33 |
| helmut_ | hi | 14:33 |
| MonkeyDust | bye new drive | 14:33 |
| MonkeyDust | buy* | 14:33 |
| olivier_bK | MonkeyDust, where is the button for save the audio piste | 14:33 |

| francesco_ | Ok. Sorry. The question was about Linux, since I would have liked to find a way to run the same application under Linux. Right now, I have a PC with a double partition, and I run the CD under Windows for that. Thank you very much. | 14:34 |
| MonkeyDust | olivier_bK ah, audacity, i thought audacious, my mistake | 14:34 |
| soulflare3 | I haven't needed them, i've just seen them | 14:34 |
| MonkeyDust | olivier_bK better ask in #ubuntu-studio, i guess | 14:34 |
| olivier_bK | okai thanks | 14:35 |
| roasted | Question - on 13.04 whenever I adjust my touchpad settings with the bottom of the 3 sliders, close, and reopen, the settings clearly don't stick. Another user duplicated this issue on a different system. Has anybody else seen this or know a way to work around it? | 14:37 |

| Campfire | e | 14:38 |
| MonkeyDust | Campfire which version and what are you doing | 14:38 |
| soulflare3 | francesco_, you could try something like this (I have not used this product, only using it as an example) http://www.staples.com/Staples-CD-Drive-Cleaner/product_786397 | 14:38 |

| francesco_ | soulflare3, I see. But is there written somewhere that it works for Linux too? | 14:41 |
| soulflare3 | It's not OS specific | 14:41 |
| === BadLarry_ is now known as BadLarry | ||
| francesco_ | soulflare3, yes, but, as far as I know, this CDs usually have a software installed in them, and, usually, this software is only for Linux. I have already a CD cleaner. | 14:42 |
| llutz | francesco_: none of those "cleaner CDs" really work, regardless what OS. the brushes they use will cause micro-scratches on the lens they should clean, that leads into a destroyed drive, sooner or later. in normal surroundings, cd-drives don't need to be cleaned | 14:43 |
| ActionParsnip | llutz: really? weird... | 14:43 |
| soulflare3 | francesco_, You could always try getting a new DVD drive, usually they run around 20-30 USD | 14:44 |
| francesco_ | llutz, soulflare3, I understand what you mean. First, I am talking about my laptop, and CD drives cannot be changed. Second, I have tried a CD cleaner on my PC (under Windws) and it solved the problem. I simply don't want to switch on linux all the time. | 14:45 |
| mojtaba | Hi, Does anybody know how can I backup my files on host via command line? I have ssh access to it. | 14:46 |
| soulflare3 | CD drives can be changed on any PC, it just may require removing some screws | 14:46 |
| MonkeyDust | mojtaba use rsync | 14:46 |
| dave | Hey | 14:46 |
| === dave is now known as Guest95983 | ||
| mojtaba | MonkeyDust: Could you please explain it more, (I am newbie. :-P) | 14:46 |
| francesco_ | soulflare3, perhaps it's my fault too. I should treat my laptop better. :D However, would you suggest me anything about it? Some products? Liquids? | 14:47 |
| MonkeyDust | mojtaba rsync -a --delete /home/username /media/some_external-drive | 14:47 |
| soulflare3 | NEVER put liquids inside your electronics | 14:48 |
| MonkeyDust | mojtaba https://help.ubuntu.com/community/rsync | 14:48 |
| llutz | francesco_: laptop cd drive, so you can reach the lens easily when drive is opened. use a cotton swab with some ethanol, let it dry completely after that, if you really think you need to clean it | 14:49 |
| mojtaba | MonkeyDust: Ok, Thanks. | 14:49 |
| francesco_ | soulflare3, don't put liquids on your PC, don't eat, don't breath, don't speak, ... :D | 14:49 |
| cotton | hah, i'm like "who mentioned me?" | 14:49 |
| overdub | and NEVER use the --delete switch to rsync unless you're sure you've typed the right command | 14:49 |
| MonkeyDust | mojtaba you can rsync over ssh | 14:50 |
| francesco_ | llutz, this scares me a little. But I will try. | 14:50 |
| mojtaba | MonkeyDust: Thanks a million | 14:50 |
| francesco_ | :D | 14:50 |
| llutz | francesco_: don't use too much ethanol, the cotton should just be damp not dripping wet | 14:51 |
| cotton | i prefer dry thanks | 14:52 |
| soulflare3 | lol | 14:52 |
| francesco_ | llutz, can I use just ordinary alchool? Where can I find ethanol? | 14:52 |
| llutz | francesco_: i wouldn't use anything than ethanol, get it from next pharmacy. should be easy if you aren't living in scandinavia | 14:53 |
| francesco_ | Just in a normal pharmacy? | 14:53 |
| MonkeyDust | or drugstore | 14:54 |
| llutz | francesco_: try it, ask for it | 14:54 |
| francesco_ | This reminds me when I wanted to make a cloud chamber. :) | 14:54 |

| salimander_kane | I'm using openvpn | 15:17 |
| K4k | salimander_kane: probably a limitation of the connection to your vpn provider | 15:17 |
| salimander_kane | K4k: no some people can get ~70 with the server i'm using | 15:18 |
| salimander_kane | could it be that im using TCP?? | 15:18 |
| K4k | TCP does have more network overhead, but it shouldn't cause a ~30Mbps drop off | 15:19 |

| BlueShark | Hi | 15:57 |

| ubottu | OpenVPN is a vpn technology in Ubuntu, sudo apt-get install openvpn and then see http://openvpn.net/ and see the documentation "HOWTO" noting you have already installed it. ;-) It rocks! | 15:57 |
| nyRednek | SuperLag: no need for compassion...i just say, "i'm old and confused, LEAVE ME LONE" | 15:58 |
| njillings | salamander_kane> it could help but you need one that your server will operate on as well as your router can open | 15:58 |

| TaylerKing | I need help | 16:15 |
| TaylerKing | could somebody help me? | 16:15 |
| oye | !help | 16:15 |
| ubottu | Please don't ask to ask a question, simply ask the question (all on ONE line and in the channel, so that others can read and follow it easily). If anyone knows the answer they will most likely reply. :-) See also !patience | 16:15 |
| utfans05 | !ask | TaylerKing | 16:15 |
| ubottu | TaylerKing: please see above | 16:15 |
| * tgm4883 pulls out his crystal ball | 16:15 | |
| TaylerKing | Guys, when trying to upgrade from 12.04 LTS to 13.04, I get "dpkg: error: parsing file '/var/lib/dpkg/status' near line 18332 package 'libgnutls-openssl27': `Pre-Depends' field, invalid package name `multi!rch-support': character `!' not allowed (only letters, digits and characters `-+._') E: Sub-process /usr/bin/dpkg returned an error code (2)" | 16:16 |
| SwedeMike | TaylerKing: how are you upgrading? | 16:16 |
| TaylerKing | terminal | 16:17 |
| TaylerKing | and I have tried with the update manager | 16:17 |
| SwedeMike | TaylerKing: upgrade path is 12.04->12.10->13.04, not 12.04->13.04 | 16:17 |
| TaylerKing | ahh, how do I upgrade to 12.10 | 16:17 |
| TaylerKing | I done sudo do-release-upgrade -d | 16:17 |
| tgm4883 | TaylerKing, don't use -d | 16:18 |
| TaylerKing | okay | 16:18 |
| tgm4883 | seriously, I wish we could scrub that from the internet | 16:18 |
| TaylerKing | sudo do-release-upgrade doesnt work | 16:18 |
| TaylerKing | it says No new release found | 16:18 |
| TaylerKing | so if I am being a pain in the ass | 16:18 |
| tgm4883 | TaylerKing, are you fully up to date on 12.04? | 16:18 |
| SwedeMike | TaylerKing: you have to reconfigiure software-manager (or wahatever it's called) to not only look for LTS releases. | 16:19 |
| TaylerKing | okay, gimmie a second | 16:19 |
| tgm4883 | SwedeMike, +1, I had forgotten that | 16:19 |
| TaylerKing | lol, I just moved from windows to ubuntu.. like this better so far | 16:19 |
| TaylerKing | urgggh, now I get Software index is broken It is impossible to install or remove any software. Please use the package manager "Synaptic" or run "sudo apt-get install -f" in a terminal to fix this issue at first. | 16:20 |
| TaylerKing | lemme do some updates and I will get back to you. Thanks | 16:20 |
| * TaylerKing is afk * | 16:20 | |
| * TaylerKing is no longer afk * | 16:20 | |
| TaylerKing | I am getting the multi!rch error again | 16:20 |

| oye | Trial and error, it's how we all learn. In my linux newbie days, I was reinstalling the OS every three days. | 16:22 |
| TaylerKing | Whenever I open Update manager I get "Not all updates can be installed Run a partial upgrade, to insall as many updates as possible" | 16:22 |
| roasted | Question - on 13.04 whenever I adjust my touchpad settings with the bottom of the 3 sliders, close, and reopen, the settings clearly don't stick. Another user duplicated this issue on a different system. Has anybody else seen this or know a way to work around it? | 16:22 |

| th0r | oye, and my mentor kept screaming..."You don't reinstall linux...you FIX linux" <smile> | 16:23 |
| BobJonkman1 | TaylerKing: At worst, you may have to re-install instead of upgrading. You'll be able to preserve you /home folder (which should contain most of you configuration data, unlike the Windows registry) | 16:23 |
| oye | TaylerKing: Most likely you can't do nothing, as you're stuck in a kafkian dependency hell mess that has no way back. It's recommended a back up of your important data, and then proceed to a clean install of the distro and version of your wish. | 16:23 |
| thecodeischaos | i remember testing lots of linux distros years ago.... i ended up sticking with redhat...and now i use ubuntustudio | 16:23 |
| sawjig | erp oye is who I meant to lol what at. I cannot understand how you would have to reinstall all the time. | 16:23 |
| tgm4883 | TaylerKing, what is the output of 'sudo apt-get update && sudo apt-get upgrade' | 16:23 |
| TaylerKing | that doesnt work either | 16:23 |
| TaylerKing | I tried it with the flag -f | 16:23 |
| sawjig | Were you like rm -rf / or something? | 16:23 |
| tgm4883 | TaylerKing, no, I asked what the output of it is | 16:23 |
| TaylerKing | ok, lemme check again | 16:24 |
| oye | sawjig: I was trying this and that, and more than one distribution. When I play, I play fo' real! :-) | 16:24 |
| tgm4883 | TaylerKing, or does it not list what packages are suppose to be installed | 16:24 |

| tgm4883 | oye, a reinstallation seems unnecessary. | 16:24 |
| sawjig | oye, must not have had to get any work done installing a new distro every three days :P | 16:25 |
| TaylerKing | The thing is, I got alot of school and I am a web dev. I am not the best at programming on computers lol | 16:25 |
| oye | tgm4883: Seeing the last, I agree. :-) | 16:25 |
| utfans05 | TaylerKing: did you do that as sudo? | 16:25 |

| TaylerKing | I am 11 lol | 16:25 |
| oye | Err, meant for sawjig. | 16:25 |
| utfans05 | TaylerKing: are you doing something with apt-get already? cause thats typically what that means | 16:26 |
| tgm4883 | TaylerKing, Do you still have the graphical updater open? | 16:26 |
| TaylerKing | Nope | 16:26 |
| TaylerKing | I aint got shit open | 16:26 |
| TaylerKing | only chromium and terminal | 16:26 |
| tgm4883 | and you ran that command with sudo? | 16:26 |
| TaylerKing | ye | 16:26 |
| tgm4883 | hmm | 16:26 |
| tgm4883 | something thinks it's currently locked | 16:27 |

| sawjig | should search processes real quick | 16:27 |
| h00k | TaylerKing: keep the language clean, please :) | 16:27 |
| TaylerKing | but that didint work either | 16:27 |

| usr13 | Taylor: Did you do a fresh install?' | 16:32 |
| utfans05 | he logged off | 16:32 |
| utfans05 | restarting | 16:32 |
| Ari-Yang | user82, you can't upgrade to 13.04 if you're on a LTS release. Though I might be wrong, I think you /can/ actually run a command in terminal for it to check updates of new ubuntu versions. You should google that. If that's the case, you might have to upgrade to 12.10 then 13.04, I know that one can't update from 12.10 to 13.10 (when it officially becomes released). | 16:33 |
| tgm4883 | usr13, my guess is that either A) He didn't know he was actually upgrading to 12.10, or B) using the -d option does something funky | 16:33 |
| usr13 | Sorry Taylor That was for TaylerKing | 16:33 |
| Ari-Yang | oh... | 16:33 |
| vanishing | Ari-Yang: you can upgrade from LTS to any version I think | 16:33 |
| jrib | Ari-Yang: right, you /can/ upgrade, but you need to go through the releases in between | 16:33 |
| Ari-Yang | yeah but you have to run a command | 16:33 |
| usr13 | tgm4883: I don't know about the -d option. What is that? | 16:34 |
| tgm4883 | usr13, it's specifically to upgrade to the "development" release | 16:34 |
| tgm4883 | usr13, which is why people shouldn't be using it | 16:34 |
| jrib | Ari-Yang: one can just use update-manager. But by default it will only check for LTS releases. One needs to configure the option to check for all releases. There should be no need to use -d | 16:34 |
| vanishing | usr13: usr13 you can find out the command with "man" or simple add --help | 16:34 |
| vanishing | parameter* | 16:34 |
| Ari-Yang | jrib, ah I see. | 16:34 |
| Ari-Yang | well when I see 13.04 becomes more stable than it already is, I'll upgrade to it with software-updater. I'm on 12.10. | 16:35 |
| usr13 | vanishing: What command? do-release-upgrade? | 16:35 |
| platzhirsch1 | I have all my media files (Pictures, Music, Videos) on another disk. Am I safe by just replacing the /home/user/music,pictures,videos folder by a symlink? Seems to work, just curious | 16:35 |
| vanishing | usr13: whichever command you are trying to use.. | 16:35 |
| vanishing | for example, if you are trying to use "cut" and you are unsure what -d means | 16:36 |
| vanishing | usr13: simply do man cut or cut --help | 16:36 |
| mibofra | hi guys | 16:36 |
| roasted | Question - on 13.04 whenever I adjust my touchpad settings with the bottom of the 3 sliders, close, and reopen, the settings clearly don't stick. Another user duplicated this issue on a different system. Has anybody else seen this or know a way to work around it? | 16:37 |
| mibofra | why online accounts uses firefox instead of the integrated api to authenticate in facebook? | 16:37 |
| mibofra | (ubuntu 13.10 dev branch) | 16:37 |
| usr13 | tgm4883: I thoug you would just change edit /etc/update-manager/release-upgrades and change Prompt=lts to Prmpt=normal. | 16:37 |
| th0r | roasted, a workaround...set the values using synclient. you can add a command line to bashrc so those settings are set at logon | 16:38 |
| tgm4883 | usr13, yes that should be the correct way to do it (or graphically) | 16:38 |
| mibofra | oh sorry I'll write in #ubuntu+1 | 16:38 |
| usr13 | vanishing: I'm not trying to use a command, I'm trying to figure out what TaylorKing's problem is. | 16:38 |
| usr13 | tgm4883: Agreed. | 16:38 |
| tgm4883 | usr13, but people post how to do it prior to release, then people google how to upgrade and see the -d option. The issue is people blindly run commands they find on the internet | 16:39 |
| tgm4883 | usr13, a really, really STUPID thing to do | 16:39 |
| roasted | th0r: I tried using synclient, but when I do that it also makes my usb mouse absolutely crazy. I switch between the touchpad and usb mouse quite often. | 16:39 |

| vanishing | Prock81: oh..im not talking about cryptkeeper | 17:00 |
| vanishing | Prock81: im talking about encfs with cryptfolder-indicator | 17:00 |
| Prock81 | so both use encfs? | 17:01 |
| vanishing | Prock81: im not familiar with cryptkeeper | 17:01 |
| vanishing | Prock81: you can see cryptfolder-indicator as a front-end for encfs | 17:02 |
| Prock81 | hay another question one of his drives is going bad so he wanted to move all that stuff currently crypted with a windows program.... | 17:02 |
| Prock81 | and while in linux i moved some of hte crypted files to usb then go back to windows to see if it can unlock it and it complane.... | 17:03 |
| vanishing | Prock81: yea..you can't do that im afraid.. | 17:04 |
| Prock81 | with the encfs can it be moved around as being locked and unlocked later on a different medium? | 17:04 |

| A1Recon | vanishing: BTW how does it differ if i installed it one way or the other ?? | 17:19 |
| A1Recon | vanishing: and why does it differ? | 17:20 |
| vanishing | A1Recon: if you installed through the google ppa, you can use apt-get update && apt-get upgrade to upgrade packages | 17:20 |
| shafox | Ari-Yang: what am i looking for ? | 17:20 |
| savio | shafox: while configuring WiFi access point in network manager check encryption setting I.e WEP WAP etc | 17:20 |
| Ari-Yang | shafox, just go to software sources, go to 'additional drivers' see if you have proprietary wifi drivers. | 17:21 |
| savio | shafox: also check if propritery driver is available to you | 17:21 |
| shafox | savio: there is no network manager in lubuntu | 17:22 |
| Prock81 | im just still looking at options, what is there difference from dm-crypt vs encfs | 17:22 |
| shafox | Ari-Yang: where to find the source?? source.list ?? | 17:23 |
| Ari-Yang | shafox, if you're on lubuntu I suggest you join the channel #lubuntu and ask there. | 17:23 |

| oal | swiss, ok, good. What if I want to set up mail on several domains, will it still use that domain as a "base" domain, or do I add more to that file? | 17:37 |
| drkphoenix | so i have to manually copoy all of what came up then? | 17:38 |
| bergelmir | will ~/.dpkg.cfg extend or replace my /etc/dpkg/dpkg.cfg? i think it extends it, but i want to be sure before create my own config file :) | 17:38 |

| drkphoenix | ok i will | 17:38 |
| vanishing | or* | 17:38 |
| oal | swiss, iRedMail is using postfix and dovecot. It has a control panel to add more domains, so maybe it handles it automatically :) | 17:38 |
| mah454 | i can not install ubuntu 13.04 in my Laptop ! I have LVM partition , in installer (ubiquity) : after partitioning system automatic restart . | 17:38 |

| boairc | anybody knows what kind of encryption is used for full-disk-encryption in ubuntu? | 17:39 |
| boairc | also anybody knows how it impacts performance? | 17:40 |
| oal | swiss, thanks for the help. iRedMail was very easy to set up. 5-10 minutes, and I had it all set up. So it probably takes care of this too then | 17:40 |
| drkphoenix | http://paste.ubuntu.com/5671520/ | 17:41 |

| Guest40744 | maui: most virus infections come trough installing infected software. If you limit yourself to only install software through ubuntu software center it is very very likely that you won't get any virus from there. Software there come from source code, or thrustworthy sources, is carefully tested... | 19:57 |
| brontosaurusrex | Guest40744, he is talking about wine | 19:57 |
| Guest40744 | maui: the windows world suffers a lot from virus infection because of the default software installation method: you get a software from someone who may have been infected, or download the software from "somewhere" on the internet... | 19:58 |
| brontosaurusrex | and if wine is any good, than it should run viruses as well | 19:58 |
| iceroot_ | brontosaurusrex: it does | 19:58 |
| iceroot_ | brontosaurusrex: but it will not affect the GNU/Linux system | 19:58 |
| Guest40744 | maui: about viruses coming from wine... I remeber someone testing it from a long time ago | 19:58 |
| brontosaurusrex | no, but it can probably kill a user dir? | 19:58 |
| iceroot_ | brontosaurusrex: it can kill everything which belongs to the user wine is executed | 19:59 |
| brontosaurusrex | right | 19:59 |
| iceroot_ | brontosaurusrex: because of that you should NEVER use root-shells or something else when not needed | 19:59 |
| genii-around | If you set some wine drive letter to a real directory the user owns it's entirely possible | 19:59 |
| Guest40744 | but, for a program to infect a linux system coming from wine, it should have been specifically designed for it. Why someone would create and another person actually run it is beyond my mind | 19:59 |
| Guest40744 | it cant do any harm besides your personal data if you don't run it as root | 20:00 |
| iceroot_ | maui: the windows-program which is running inside wine can only access the wine-prefix-dir not your home, because the default that your home can not be accessed | 20:01 |
| iceroot_ | maui: and if you are afraif of wine can kill your system DONT USE WINDOWS-SOFTWARE. Use FOSS software from the ubuntu repos instead. its that easy and i guess everything is said to that topic | 20:02 |
| netlar | If you trying to shutdown from the login screen and someone is still logged in, there is suppose to be a safety key right? | 20:02 |
| BluesKaj | maui, http://hothardware.com/Reviews/Why-Linux-Will-Never-Suffer-From-Viruses-Like-Windows/ | 20:03 |
| bekks | netlar: Uhm - no. If root shuts down the box (or someone with the privileges to do so), it will be shut down. | 20:03 |
| genii-around | iceroot_: If you did something unsafe like put D: as /home/yourusername conceivably something malicious could wipe it out from in WINE | 20:04 |

| surio_ | I have Mint 14 installed on one partition, and subsequently, Grml (another debian distro) on another partition. Grml install botched up the MBR/bootloader, but I have now recovered the MBR. However, when I run "update-grub" from Mint, it seems to pick up Windows which is on another disk, but not Grml which is on the same disk :-P FWIW, the partition containing Grml is mounted :) | 21:11 |

| Kamaris | any computer that may have accessed data on the ubuntu server, maybe either through SMB or HTTP... | 21:21 |
| llutz | Kamaris: those wouldn't transfer/log mac-addresses | 21:22 |
| Kamaris | ok. i can't think of any other methods i used to communicate with the system that might have logged the MAC by chance. | 21:22 |
| histo | Kamaris: I doubt you are going to find a log by mac you may find ip address loges like /var/log/wtmp etc... | 21:23 |
| Kamaris | basically, i need the MAC address in order to gain traction on a burglarly case where my main desktop was stolen from my apartment. the police won't pursue it without a MAC address for my NIC to definitively say the system is mine. The router logs have long since cycled since the robbery happened in January. Ubuntu logs were my last hopes of getting a MAC | 21:24 |
| histo | Kamaris: How are you viewing the logs if your system was stolen? | 21:25 |
| gtm157 | genii-around : in the network settings the cable connection doesnt even show up the only on is modem connection which its saying is not configured | 21:25 |
| ubuntourist | Working with the command line only, if I add a new user to a custom Live CD, how do I set that user as the auto-logged in? (I'm trying to create a "user" only CD so that people booting from it cannot screw with the hard disk of the host machines.) | 21:25 |

| Kamaris | histo: main desktop was Windows based, my ubuntu server was not stolen | 21:25 |
| bekks | vanishing: Depends on what they are logging. | 21:25 |
| Kamaris | histo: the router unfortunately | 21:26 |
| histo | Kamaris: also that's kind of silly that they won't pursue without a mac address. there are plenty of other ways to prove the system is yours. | 21:26 |
| zykotick9 | vanishing: MAC addresses would only be useful for local network...? | 21:27 |
| histo | Kamaris: You could perform a grep of your /var/log/* searching for mac addresses . What type of desktop was it? | 21:27 |
| Kamaris | histo: the police refused to even give consideration to my case because it's just property theft... after 3 months, my dropbox account on that desktop came online from a different city in the state i lived. i recontacted the police and explained my system had not been wiped and it was online, and how i had not changed my dropbox password in hopes of this happening | 21:27 |
| histo | Kamaris: for instance was it a home built or is a dell/hp etc... | 21:27 |
| Kamaris | after a full day of begging and pleading, they finally assigned aaaaa detective to call me for more info | 21:28 |
| Kamaris | that was last month... and now after an additional month, he says he can't do anything without a MAC | 21:28 |
| histo | Kamaris: pm me please | 21:28 |
| Kamaris | histo: home built, ASUS onboard NIC | 21:28 |

| Ben64 | Kamaris: do you have the motherboard box | 21:29 |
| Kamaris | i do have the motherboard box, and i supplied the serial from the box to the police | 21:29 |
| Ben64 | it should also have the mac on the box | 21:29 |
| histo | Kamaris: The mac shouldb eon the box for the mobo | 21:29 |
| Kamaris | o.O | 21:29 |
| Kamaris | orly?? | 21:29 |
| Ben64 | and if its home built it should be way easier to tell its yours | 21:30 |
| Ben64 | ya, rly | 21:30 |
| Kamaris | ok... need to figre out a way to look at the box... i'm in cali for work, box is in texas at homestead | 21:30 |
| Kamaris | let me see if i can facetime someone to check out the box | 21:30 |
| Ben64 | its dumb that they need the mac though | 21:30 |
| Kamaris | i agree | 21:30 |
| Ben64 | you can't track someone with a mac address | 21:30 |
| histo | Ben64: they are probably trying to put enough together for a search warrant | 21:30 |
| Kamaris | but i must stress how hard it's been to get someoen to even look a tmy case | 21:30 |
| Kamaris | yes, actually, what histo said. i gave them the connecting IP's info from dropbox, and after 4 weeks, this is the follow up request, "need mac to do anything" | 21:31 |
| histo | Kamaris: I would assume that someone logging into your dropbox would be enouhg evidence to obtain a warrant though.. Well atleast with the courts I am familiar with. | 21:32 |
| tacomaster | lol how would you even go about tracking a mac address you would have to be on the same lan as them because the mac address is never broad casted outside of the router it is the way the router separates traffic for internal and external address | 21:32 |
| oconnore | Hi, can someone help me figure out where the best place would be to report a bug? My bug is that on the 3.8 kernels distributed with 13.04, my wifi card will see available networks, but can't reliably connect to them. Downgrading to a 3.5 kernel (from 12.10) fixes the problem, and I can then connect to wifi networks successfully. | 21:32 |
| zykotick9 | tacomaster: +1 | 21:32 |
| Ben64 | or contact asus and see if they can get the mac from the serial | 21:32 |

| oconnore | thanks zykotick9. ubuntourist -- I looked around but it wasn't clear which package I should report the bug against. NetworkManager, kernel-ppa, laptop-testing, etc. all seem related. | 21:36 |
| zykotick9 | oconnore: personally, i'd report against the kernel. if it's wrong, the bugs-team will sort it out for you. | 21:37 |

| cbx33 | hi all, I upgraded from 12.04 -> 12.10 -> 13.04 | 21:37 |
| ubuntourist | I'm guessing that at least while I'm chrooted into the custom ISO image, I can just do a "passwd" to take care of the original auto-logged-in user and a useradd (or adduser) to create an unprivileged one.

| bekks | K1lleD: Folders always need execution permissions, otherwise you cant enter them. | 22:09 |
| tacomaster | K1lleD: hey you can normally run "gksu nautilus" and go to the folder you want to change permissions on and just right click and go to permissions | 22:09 |
| tacomaster | K1lleD: if you dont want to run many commands | 22:10 |
| clcto | what are the permissions for E258E8C... | 22:10 |
| usr13 | K1lleD: Maybe what you really want is vnc. | 22:10 |
| clcto | and why is that the name of it | 22:10 |
| usr13 | K1lleD: You could install x11vnc on your computer and tightvnc (vncviewer) on your sister's computer. | 22:10 |

| th0r | K1lleD, if you have samba set up then I believe it should appear in the network neighbourhood, or whatever they call it in win8 | 22:13 |
| clcto | K1lleD: you can do it through command line using chmod or through nautilus if you use gksu nautilus | 22:13 |

| usr13 | BlackDalek: Not sure I understand your last question. Can you re-phrase it? | 23:11 |
| === BJfreeman is now known as Guest28613 | ||
| bierce24 | alright whatever | 23:11 |
| bierce24 | i guess ill have to reinstall | 23:11 |
| bierce24 | so if i choose to reinstall itll keep all my home stuff right | 23:12 |
| th0r | bierce24, did you set up a separate partition for /home initially? | 23:12 |
| bierce24 | no i just did a full erase everything and install | 23:12 |
| BlackDalek | usr13, on the ubuntu download page it says "download the 64-bit version if you have a windows 8 computer"... Can I also use the 64-bit version if I have an older non-windows 8 64-bit CPU computer? OR is the "windows 8" hardware a prerequisite? | 23:12 |
| usr13 | BlackDalek: If your question is can Ubuntu 13.04 be installed on an older 64bit PC? The answer is yet. (Ubuntu 13.04 can be installed on a new or old PC, but old-within-reason....) | 23:13 |
| th0r | bierce24, then you will probably lose everything on a reinstall | 23:13 |
| bierce24 | it says installed software will be kept if possible | 23:13 |
| BlackDalek | usr13 by old I mean AMD athlon 2400 cpu | 23:13 |
| th0r | bierce24, are you upgrading or reinstalling? | 23:13 |
| bierce24 | reinstalling | 23:14 |
| usr13 | BlackDalek: It really doesn't matter. You can install 32bit or 64bit version of Ubuntu, it's up to you. | 23:14 |
| bierce24 | i tried to compile the 3.9.2 kernel but when i rebooted it goes straight to memtest | 23:14 |
| usr13 | BlackDalek: Personally, I prefer just installing 32bit. | 23:14 |
| th0r | bierce24, then I doubt anything will be saved. You could try not formatting before install, but I wouldn't recommend it | 23:14 |
| usr13 | BlackDalek: Not much advantage in the 64bit system. | 23:14 |
| Kitzune | So nobody knows the screencloud command then? | 23:15 |
| BlackDalek | ok thanks | 23:15 |
| mchlbhm | Hey! Anyone know of a good site or book that explains the relationship between the kernel and hardware? | 23:15 |

| nsahoo | Hi I am facing some dependency problems. The /boot partition was low on space. I removed some older linux-images using dpkg. After that whenever I am trying to run apt-get it's asking me to run apt-get -f install. That in turn is failing due to some dependency problem. Here is a paste bin link http://pastebin.com/LRQ2QNwt | 23:18 |
| GSilva | does Ubuntu 13 has more compatibility problems then Ubuntu 12? I can't even install regular programs... | 23:18 |
| usr13 | nsahoo: Why didn't you just use apt-get remove ? | 23:19 |
| mchlbhm | gordonjcp, I wasn't really looking for a pop-up book. ;) Thank you for helping. :D | 23:19 |
| K1lleD | usr13: i do that what you say in private ... | 23:19 |
| usr13 | nsahoo: sudo apt-get autoremove | 23:19 |
| nsahoo | usr13: I think it was complaining about lack of space. /boot was totally full | 23:20 |
| usr13 | K1lleD: Ok, sorry. | 23:20 |
| nsahoo | usr13: it's asking me to run apt-get -f install | 23:20 |
| usr13 | K1lleD: YOu'll need to restart the samba server | 23:20 |
| usr13 | nsahoo: I know, I saw your paste | 23:21 |
| nsahoo | usr13: also says linux-server : Depends: linux-image-server (= 3.2.0.39.47) but 3.2.0.43.51 is installed | 23:21 |
| usr13 | nsahoo: So what happened when you ran sudo apt-get autoremove ? | 23:21 |
| nsahoo | usr13: I mean, when i run apt-get autoremove it asks me to run apt-get -f install. also complains about unmet dependency "linux-server : Depends: linux-image-server (= 3.2.0.39.47) but 3.2.0.43.51 is installed" | 23:22 |
| K1lleD | usr13: sudo /etc/init.d/smbd restart | 23:22 |
| K1lleD | .. ? | 23:22 |
| usr13 | K1lleD: sudo service smbd restart | 23:22 |
| K1lleD | ready | 23:23 |
| usr13 | nsahoo What do you have installed? | 23:24 |

| nsahoo | usr13: somehow the asterisk wasn't working so .. http://pastebin.com/phujRXZA | 23:29 |

| pheonixash | by any chance does anyone know how to make amazon spit out a .amz file | 23:29 |
| pheonixash | ? | 23:29 |
| nsahoo | usr13: got this : http://pastebin.com/A9xqF5Be | 23:29 |
| usr13 | nsahoo: Ok. Looks like you've installed the 3.2.0-39 kernel but have not rebooted since then. Right? | 23:30 |
| nsahoo | sounds right | 23:30 |
| nsahoo | usr13: thats right | 23:30 |
| nsahoo | usr13: actually i rebooted an hour ago, but i still have the 3.2.0-38 kernel | 23:31 |
| nsahoo | usr13: perhaps the later kernels could not be properly installed due to lack of space in /boot | 23:31 |
| clcto | usr13: didnt you say you had to go | 23:32 |
| usr13 | nsahoo: Use apt-get remove to install all but linux-image-3.2.0-38-generic | 23:32 |
| kvothetech | nsahoo: you actually have a later version than the one it's complaining about...why does it want the old sources when you have a newer one | 23:33 |
| nsahoo | usr13: actually apt-get any command is failing | 23:33 |
| usr13 | nsahoo: Or just several of the old ones. | 23:33 |
| Hardtail | how do you see your files in wine? | 23:33 |

| kvothetech | Hardtail: ls .wine/drive_c or something like that | 23:35 |
| usr13 | nsahoo: apt-get -f install #What does that tell us. | 23:35 |
| Hardtail | kvothetech: okay thanks I will open terminal and give that a shot | 23:36 |
| nsahoo | usr13: unmet dependency, i posted that on the first pastebin | 23:36 |
| kvothetech | usr13: i've had that issue he's got before..basically apts broken until you remove all your kernels by force then let it reinstall | 23:36 |
| histo | Hardtail: ls ~/.wine/drive_c | 23:36 |

| usr13 | nsahoo: sudo apt-get remove linux-image-3.2.0-43 | 23:37 |
| usr13 | nsahoo: but remember to do dpkg-reconfiger on the current one first. | 23:37 |
| nsahoo | usr13: no go. | 23:38 |
| zvacet | Hardtail: in terminal type ls -a | less and after that cd .wine | 23:38 |
| usr13 | nsahoo: 'apt-get autoremove' does not remove them? | 23:38 |

| clcto | is* | 23:38 |
| usr13 | kvothetech: Do you want to express your experience here? | 23:38 |
| nsahoo | usr13: all apt-get commands get stopped due to dependency errors | 23:39 |
| kvothetech | usr13: I wanted to see if your friendly methods worked first | 23:39 |
| usr13 | nsahoo: So I guess you use dpkg then. Right kvothetech ? | 23:39 |
| clcto | nsahoo: is there a dont check dependency flag? | 23:39 |
| kvothetech | usr13: i didn't use dpkg | 23:39 |
| nsahoo | clcto: in dpkg, yes. not in apt-get | 23:40 |
| usr13 | kvothetech: I would remove them all but the one he is using now, then reboot and do apt-get upgrade on the current one. | 23:40 |
| usr13 | Right? | 23:40 |
| usr13 | kvothetech: apt-get -f remove linux-headers-3.2.0-29 linux-headers-3.2.0-30 etc? | 23:41 |
| kvothetech | usr13: nsahoo rm /boot/rin* System* config* (obviously last 2 in /boot too) | 23:41 |
| nsahoo | usr13: a little afraid of rebooting now, with kenel messed up, it'll may not boot up | 23:41 |
| kvothetech | usr13: nsahoo what'll clear ALL your kernels so don't reboot | 23:41 |
| usr13 | nsahoo: Oh no, don't reboot now. | 23:41 |
| usr13 | nsahoo: Do as kvothetech says. You can re-install kernel(s) as needed. | 23:42 |
| kvothetech | usr13: nsahoo then go to /usr/src and clear all the kernels from there as well. | 23:43 |
| nsahoo | kvothetech: usr13, I am not sure how any of this is resolving the dependency problem. This is manually removing files from the disk. | 23:43 |
| Hardtail | attempting to open Program Files (x86) gives me unexpected token error | 23:44 |
| kvothetech | nsahoo: usr13 it's getting rid of the shit it thinks you still need but don't | 23:44 |
| usr13 | nsahoo: Not sure either, but if you do apt-get update, it should get you back to normal. | 23:44 |

| Hardtail | earsplit: yes sir in terminal | 23:45 |

| earspliT | Hardtail: ohhhhhhh sorry can't help you with that | 23:45 |
| earspliT | Hardtail: you can't cd into the directory at all? | 23:45 |
| usr13 | nsahoo: I'm pretty sure kvothetech is correct. YOu are going to have to force this stuff to happen. I might have tried the --force-yes option but... kvothetech will cut to the chanse. | 23:45 |

| Hardtail | Panama: which game? I'm having trouble with d2 | 23:50 |
| kvothetech | wadie: ???? we already answered your question on where it is and where chromium is and the difference... | 23:50 |
| kvothetech | Panama: what's the error | 23:51 |
| wadie | so I can't find chrome on my computer ? | 23:51 |
| somsip | wadie: do you want to know the location of the executable? | 23:51 |
| wadie | exactly | 23:51 |
| kvothetech | wadie: whereis chromium* | 23:51 |
| Panama | Hardtail: I am having problems with installing Guild Wars 2.... I've followed the guide that is listed on the AppDB, however... Whenever it gets to the point where it would begin installing, my entire PC freezes up | 23:51 |

| somsip | wadie: /usr/bin/google-chrome | 23:51 |
| wadie | thank you somsip | 23:51 |
| kvothetech | Panama: anything useful in logs? | 23:51 |
| kvothetech | Panama: can you still get to a tty? | 23:52 |
| Hardtail | kvothetech: example works fine for the file, there are no typos in my command but it says directory doesn't exist | 23:52 |
| somsip | wadie: np. In this case, locate google-chrome | 23:52 |
| Panama | kvothetech: If I knew where logs were, I would check... And also, what is tty? | 23:52 |
| usr13 | wadie: ls /var/lib/dpkg/info/ |grep chrome #See if it is installed. | 23:52 |
| Panama | kvothetech: Apologies, but I'm quite a bit of a newb when it comes to this stuff lol | 23:53 |
| wadie | it is and I found it | 23:53 |
| wadie | thanks | 23:53 |
| kvothetech | Panama: /var/log or wherever wine puts it's logs..if you're running it as user no idea where probably .wine | 23:53 |

| Riley_88 | hey guys i tried to compile and install the 3.9.2 kernel earlier and when i rebooted it kept going to memtest i ended up having to reinstall and it kept my home folder but the 3.9 kernel still shows up as default in grub is there away to remove it | 23:53 |
| usr13 | nsahoo: Still with us? | 23:53 |
| Hardtail | kvothetech: nvm I didn't change to the directory properly... | 23:53 |

| Riley_88 | 3.8.0.19 generic | 23:54 |
| kvothetech | Riley_88: uhm you skipped something in your .config if you only have memtest.... | 23:54 |
| Riley_88 | i have to manually select it in advanced options | 23:54 |
| usr13 | Riley_88: ls /var/lib/dpkg/info/ |grep linux-image |grep list |pastebinit #Let's see what you have installed. | 23:55 |

| Riley_88 | http://dpaste.com/1170258/ | 23:57 |
| Riley_88 | usr13 | 23:57 |
| Riley_88 | is there not a way to just get grub to boot of the 3.8 kernel by default | 23:58 |
| usr13 | Riley_88: So you only have the one kernel installed. I suppose you can try dpkg-reconfigure linux-image-3.8.0-19-generic | 23:59 |
| Hardtail | kvothetech: was able to run the wine game through terminal, says unhandled usage flags 0x8 and state_zenable z buffer disabled, but arb_Depth_clamp isn't supported | 23:59 |
| kvothetech | Panama_: ctrl alt f7 | 23:59 |
| Panama_ | kvothetech: That is how I exit tty? | 23:59 |
| kvothetech | Riley_88: grub1 or 2 | 23:59 |
| kvothetech | pnaayes | 23:59 |
| kvothetech | Panama_: yes | 23:59 |
| Riley_88 | grub 2 | 23:59 |
