I have it installed in a dual core intel about 4 years old (32-bit) and a 300GB hard drive. I installed 12.0.4 LTS I keep getting /usr/lib/gnome-disk-utility/gdu-notification-daemon and other similar crashes just randomly. It's almost like the ubuntu install is corrupted, but i've reinstalled several times with the same issue.

Kids complain of frequent kernel panics. Can someone give me some direction in terms of troubleshooting? I have one up on the screen now. [00:06] I just installed Ubuntu Server 12.04, but now when I boot, I get an unsupported resolution. Is there a way to set the resolution before boot? Or change it while it's running (Without seeing what I'm doing :p) [00:06] elisa87: i dont think you need to source that.... [00:07] roloenusa: why'd you tag me in that? uhm what's gdu-notification-daemon supposed to do would be a good starting point [00:07] elisa87: you are set..restart vim..:D [00:07] Casmo: xrandr [00:08] roloenusa: try installing 13.04 [00:08] kvothetech, that probably requires me to enter stuff, right? (And as I can't see anything I type, that's quite hard) [00:08] without installing postfix or sendmail, you can email root@localhost for instance and receive mail in /var/mail, is there a way to send a box mail from the outside of that box? right now my attempts are getting denied, and i'm not sure what ubuntu uses as the default for that [00:08] vanishing what are some cool styles for vim ? because mine really hurts the eye! [00:08] Casmo: if it's a server it probably has ssh no? and your tty's dont even work? [00:09] elisa87: try molokai [00:09] I actually just managed to install ssh, so I do have access to it now :P [00:09] Casmo: you can add the resolution to the kernel line in grub i think but it's been a while since i had to do that [00:09] kvothetech: sorry, like i said.. pretty noobie, and this is a fresh install of ubuntu. So not sure where to even beging this. loganlee: will 13.04 perform well on old pcs? [00:09] Also, tty's don't work, I also get an unsupported resolution in there. [00:09] But hey, I do have SSH now. :) [00:09] roloenusa: i dont know its worth while try [00:09] Casmo: yes, once you install something you can use it [00:10] kvothetech: btw, do you always reset cflags with you are compiling kernel? [00:10] when* [00:10] Casmo: i'd look at the options for your video card and setting resolution in grub/as it loads kernel...kms dose this for example [00:10] loganlee: lol.. ok. I'll give that a try. Do you know any idea what that error means? google returns with mostly unity errors but no real fixes. [00:11] vanishing: I'm on gentoo I set my cflags when i installed haven't touched them since [00:11] I have no clue what video card I have though.

[00:20] vanishing: i remember spending hours to get my 3 monitors working (2 cards…) [00:20] hi. i'm running ubuntu 12.10 and i want to upgrade to 13.04 (my system seems to be broken and I was recommended to try doing that). in the process of upgrading from a liveUSB i'm told that I haven't selected a swap space. when I try to select a swap space i get the error "Error informing the kernel about modifications to partition /dev/sda5 - Device or resource busy." How can I fix that? [00:21] bump: ok, current situation: I have a windows install and a (potentially broken) ubuntu install on my hard drive. on bootup, I get put into a grub console and don't know what to do to boot. right now I'm on a live ubuntu dvd (right after an installation/upgrade failed) what can I do to get access to my windows partition and fix/get access to the ubuntu partition (I don't care if I lose the data on the ubuntu partition -- would like to [00:21] i have a version of ubuntu iso on my usb stick.... i am using unetbootin tool again to put a new ubuntu iso on the same stick.... do i need to format the stick first? or unetbootin will do everything needed [00:21] or should I just go on with the installation and ignore the warning? [00:21] well this is a true server but [00:21] misterx: try to setup xdmc with multi-monitor now [00:21] misterx: ha [00:21] i have access to a command line in the live dvd, are there any grub commands or something I can run to get at least windows bootable? [00:22] vanishing: ? [00:22] alecb: is there a grub installation already on that hard drive? [00:22] thecodeischaos: it'll tell you it's going to format it [00:22] misterx: its a joke....as I can seem to do that... [00:22] lol [00:22] and it's just broke or something? [00:22] ok kvothe thanks [00:23] misterx: why did you have an xorg.conf...you generally dont need one [00:23] 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? === Logan__ is now known as Logan_ [00:23] Nach0z: yeah, from a previous (or I guess, the current) failed ubuntu install. it didn't install grub correctly apparently though [00:23] kvothetech: three monitors, two graphic-cards, xinerama and all that stuff – i needed one. [00:23] misterx: ah lol [00:23] Nach0z: it's just a grub shell, doesn't drop me into a menu or anything [00:23] ... [00:24] alecb: reformat and reinstall [00:25] Ok so i installed ubuntu 13.04 server to a real server. When i boot the server after the install it says Input not supported right after the bios boots without leting me do any thing no com line i can reinstall( dell with a acer 24in led monitor) could it be the monitor? [00:26] ? [00:26] loganlee: I'ld like to avoid wiping my windows install if I can. is there nothing I can do from the live cd to try and fix grub? (grabbing new isos and stuff is also a pain in the a** since I've currently got a 100KB/s down speed) [00:27] how can i export my account settings for thunderbird? [00:27] anyone know? [00:27] alecb: man grub-install [00:27] kvothetech: the funny thing now: sudo startx brings mit to xfce – but as root. sudo service lightdm start brings mit to lightdm – but i literally cannot login [00:27] strange. [00:28] misterx: "sudo startx" is a horrible idea... just sayin' [00:29] zykotick9: ive had horrible 5 hours of tty1 now. justsayin… :/ [00:29] god [00:30] misterx: well, you might want to get used to that... as "sudo startx" will probably break your user account... same as running GUI apps with sudo - breaks permissions in user's actual home dir. [00:31] zykotick9: understood… thank. [00:31] +s [00:31] zykotick9: gksudo works though right? [00:31] vanishing: for GUI apps = yes. for startx, no.

[01:01] In 11.10 and 12.04 times you could download alternate CDs and create your own preseed files to automate the install. Now with 12.10 that the alternate CD does not exist, I'm wondering what are the choices? The limitation I have is that everything has to be on CD/DVD/USB, so network installtion is out of question. [01:02] w0lfspy_: have u tried bios settings? [01:03] I just opened them [01:03] What should I do?

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 [01:36] 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> [01:37] if you are getting installation errors, it is possible your partitions could be messed up. or u could have some unallocated space [01:38] personally, I have had install errors and it was due to the face I had " 1meg" of unallocated space [01:38] fact* [01:38] 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] alecb: best of luck === tjbiddle_ is now known as tjbiddle [01:39] ty :) [01:40] what are the best games for ubuntu?

[01:49] aw [01:49] ubuntu 13.10 is suppose to run on kernel 3.9, right? [01:49] Ari-Yang: yep.. [01:50] 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.

[01:53] alecb, The install was missing grub basically. [01:53] wilee-nilee: grub was definitely on there (I was getting dropped into a grub shell before), it just wasn't configured right I guess [01:54] 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? [01:55] should I have expected a grub menu anyway? [01:55] 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] alecb, It was missing /boot/grub/grub.cfg in sda1 [01:55] alecb: actually it does not make sense...it should still show the grub menu.. [01:56] vanishing: hm... well that makes me less happy [01:57] hm... which partition would you expect to have the boot flag right now? [01:57] alecb: lol..burn the dvd, install it should make it work [01:57] alecb: I think it somehow fixed your windows loader. [01:57] alecb, windows only needs the bootflag [01:58] oh, grub wouldn' care? [01:58] linux in general does not use a bootflag [01:58] huh... whatever, I guess I'll try installing again... [01:58] grub dosent care if the bootflag is enabled or not i recall. [02:02] i had no trouble installing ubuntu 13.04 from virtual box :p [02:02] running 13.04 in vbox also.. seems to work ok.

I didn't think Ubuntu itself had a mascot though. [02:07] 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] there are several vnc servers you can use [02:07] Anyone have any ideas? [02:08] rantic: startx is starting a different default sessiin. [02:08] id suggest using a login manager not startx [02:08] rantic: isnt network-manager part of gnome? [02:09] I don't have vncserver on this machine [02:09] 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] jiffe1: history command should show what you have ran in the past [02:10] dr_willis: I didn't start it via cli before, I started it via the gui [02:10] rantic: its. xsession or .Xsession i thi k these days [02:10] jiffe1: then use the gui to start it again [02:10] dr_willis: gui is about 20 miles away, I am doing this remotely [02:11] install a stand alonee vncserver perhaps [02:11] 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] !info vnc4server [02:11] there's really no way to do what the gui does via command line? [02:11] 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 [02:12] rantic: make one perhaps... .xsession [02:12] 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 [02:13] it chaneged the default desktop session.. figure out how to set it perhaps. [02:14] if you used lightdm it would be saved in .dmrc [02:14] use of startx is deperacated these days u recall [02:15] rantic: you can check the dpkg log under /var/log/ [02:15] vanishing: I'm too new to understand exactly what package would have done it, do you know where the universal Xsession file would be? [02:16] rantic: locate Xsession [02:17] /etc/X11/Xsession [02:17] rantic: do u have xdm running? [02:18] .xinitrc should still work.. [02:18] .xinitrc has been replaced by .xsession i think [02:18] if he had a login manager running then startx would fail [02:18] if you examine the 'startx' script it may give a clue as to where its looking and in what order. [02:19] dr_willis_, nope [02:19] im no ton a ubuntu box where i can look [02:19] i definatly recall linking .xinitr cna .Xsession or .xsession ages ago.. [02:19] dr_willis_, I don't know where you got that impression from... [02:19] sawjig: seen it mentioned here many times [02:19] you can use either.. [02:20] the syntax is like the same they're just bash scripts... [02:20] they are identical files.. [02:20] or can be. [02:20] yes but .xinitrc [02:20] should still work [02:20] the ise of .xinitrc i recall is slowly getting phased out from what ir ecall reading [02:21] xsession is for your login manager... [02:21] xinitrc isn' [02:21] t going to be 'phased' out [02:21] and its reccomeded to always use a login mamanger.. not to use 'startx' [02:21] so if you want your login manager to run the contents that you had in an .xinitrc [02:21] can u run desktop manager on framebuffer? [02:21] 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] you can put it in /etc/X11/Xsession [02:21] for some reason when I click on 'install updates' software updater just closes. anybody know why? I'm on 12.10 [02:21] or .xsession [02:21] dat wud b awesome [02:21] dr_willis_, there's no reason someone that doesn't need a login manager can't use startx [02:22] I use startx. [02:22] 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] can u run desktop manager on frame buffer? [02:22] someone can just kill X and get a shell even if you lock your X... [02:22] sawjig: its not reccomended as i said.. we had a discussion on this in here a few weeks back [02:22] !framebuffer [02:22] Information about changing your framebuffer modes in GRUB can be found at https://wiki.ubuntu.com/FrameBuffer#grub [02:22] why I build grub package no have linuxefi mode ,I use ubuntu grub2_2.00-7ubuntu11.debian.tar.gz [02:22] dr_willis_, not recommended doesn't mean .xinitrc has been replaced... [02:22] sawjig: its being depercated as i said.. [02:23] you just said either will work.. so basically it has been replaced [02:23] just run frambuffer system [02:23] dr_willis_, which is the whole thing I'm commenting on more than anything else. [02:23] -_- [02:23] dr_willis_, I've been using linux for years and years [02:23] i have also.. [02:23] dr_willis_: startx and .xinitrc aren't really deprecated (perhaps in ubuntu, but not the rest of the gnu/linux world) [02:24] dr_willis_, I doubt they're deprwecated in ubuntu [02:24] Checked the wiki [02:24] i focus on what ubuntu has been doing. ;) i dont worry about the rest of the world these days [02:24] checked the manual [02:24] still says .Xinitrc [02:24] sheldon , is that you ? [02:24] I want to use MAAS. I have a public connection for my uplink to the maas server although I would rather PXE nodes locally? How can I ensure dhcp/pxe/provisioning is on seperate interface?

[02:29] and though I don't think it's at all out of the question, something more ruby-oriented would be preferred I'm sure [02:30] and by preferred, I mean easier to sell to my superiors [02:30] supertough: perhaps turn off the filrewall rules to test it out [02:30] and by easier to sell I mean they hate python :( [02:30] like sudo ufw allow from IPaddress to port [02:30] be a man and edit your iptables by hand :P [02:30] where is this firewall rule setting at?

[02:40] somsip: hmm, it looks like the rubber gem may be a good candidate [02:40] fwiw [02:40] somsip: and I know fab isn't trying to necessarily be capistrano, but something like what rubber provides might be nice [02:40] though I haven't tried rubber yet, only looking now, but it purports to be what I am wanting [02:44] so i have an issue with online accounts.

I really want to get ubuntu working [02:52] olsonea: As a heuristic maybe, but you'll need to run pavucontrol (Unity's System Settings > Sound) to switch correctly [02:52] ZNaught: What's up? [02:52] aktifisus: what's wrong with the way you're installing it [02:52] ah [02:53] ZNaught: are you familiar with changing the grub commandline options?

I can see the interface on the Config tab, but it's not appearing on the Output/Input Devices tabs [02:54] SonikkuAmerica: The screen flickers and text overlays when booting into the OS. It never actually boots [02:54] ZNaught: smash that esc key during startup till you get to the grub menu, then try the recovery one [02:54] olsonea: Did you reboot since you plugged it in? [02:54] swiss: It also happened on the CD. safemode did work on the CD [02:54] did not [02:54] ZNaught: graphics issues [02:55] ZNaught: Work with swiss on this one; I have to go to bed soon.

Meantime, try a reboot and flag me in the morning if it doesn't work. [02:58] swiss: ok, thanks :) [02:58] Saiki: copy 2 or so to another directory to test it [02:58] SonikkuAmerica: thanks for your help1 [02:58] or you can live on the edge and just run it [02:58] swiss: I am assuming it will work, it did on the live CD [02:59] ZNaught: right right, but then you can get debugging output [02:59] can't get much out of the system if you can't see what you're working on [03:00] i'm still peeved at online-accounts [03:00] i might just do a reinstall [03:00] also, it *so* did not play nice with gnome3 [03:00] hey [03:00] anyone got the apple magic mouse working? [03:01] 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] Can anyone guide me how to install brogue? [03:01] ZNaught: i agree with you [03:01] *me on [03:01] 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 [03:02] like once you boot up in safe mode, install all the updates, and the specific drivers for your card [03:02] alright I will try. I am on the same PC, so I will have to try it that way [03:02] thanks for the help [03:02] swiss: http://pastebin.com/DqqezT9S [03:03] ZNaught: mmhmm [03:03] Saiki: yep yep [03:03] that's fine [03:03] 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?

[03:18] but when I tried to modify it with ldapmodify and rootDN, it reports "ldap_modify: Insufficient access (50)" [03:18] is there any application which can help me find duplicate files and remove them? [03:18] knightmade: try suto ldapmodify [03:19] *sudo === [ent2] is now known as [ent] [03:19] in other words, how can I format a disk that once held LVM on the Ubuntu Server installer? [03:19] sudo does not work [03:19] Millo: You just want to format a old ext drive? [03:19] same error [03:20] Gparted should get you there.. whats happening? [03:20] it's not there [03:20] my internal shows, my live usb shows [03:20] knightmade: shat error? [03:20] this is a usb? [03:20] 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. [03:20] 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] is there a channel to study the reviews of Ubuntu 13.04? [03:21] shat error? what's meanings? [03:21] knightmade: Maybe this will help: http://serverfault.com/questions/451869/ldap-modify-insufficient-access-50 [03:21] yes batmite - it's an external usb with a mains [03:21] "Because the volume group(s) on the selected device also consist of physical volumes on other devices, it is not considered safe to remove its LVM data automatically." [03:21] 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 [03:22] !gksudo | ArcticLight [03:22] 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] Um. [03:22] Gksudo is not installed on 13.04 [03:22] ArcticLight, maybe sudo apt-get install gksudo ? [03:22] *shrugs* [03:22] ArcticLight: sorry - just read through properly... [03:22] 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 [03:23] knightmade: this may/may not help: http://pkill-9.com/how-to-easily-do-sudo-in-debian/ [03:23] 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] Millo: Have you tried "disk-utility"? might be called "disks" now [03:24] sec [03:24] is there a terminal command? [03:24] ah [03:24] in it, it's not showing [03:24] ok [03:24] since that bad sector error/my closing terminal via the X it's not showing anywhere [03:25] Millo: http://pastebin.com/tP32U6T0 [03:25] before, the only place that found it was testdisk [03:25] yeah [03:25] loganlee_ - I don't understand? [03:25] milo: The disk utility from the command line is gnome-disks in 13.04, it's probably something different in Ubuntu 12 [03:25] thanks ArcticLight - I found the app in the list [03:26] unplug the usb, plug it in and do "dmesg" in terminal. you'll at least have the right path.. [03:26] it WAS sdc3 [03:26] cant you wipe it with "dd" also? [03:26] ArcticLight: where did you read that gksudo has been removed? [03:26] dd? [03:26] sorry, sdc, not sdc3 [03:27] 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] type dd -h [03:27] or --help [03:27] ArcticLight, if I were you, I'd just google to find out why it was removed.... [03:27] surely somebody has asked that before [03:27] somsip: http://meta.askubuntu.com/questions/6634/psa-gksu-is-no-longer-installed-by-default [03:27] Ari-Yang: lol took the words out of my mouth [03:28] Ari-Yang: Apparently it's over some security issues, but nowhere does anyone say what I'm supposed to use instead [03:28] they mention pkexec, but that doesn't run graphical programs either [03:29] why no gksudo > http://askubuntu.com/a/284717 [03:29] 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] why not just use sudo? [03:29] ArcticLight, I say install gksudo... is gksu installed? [03:29] But I don't known the password of the DN "cn=admin,olcDatabase={1}hdb,cn=config" or "cn=admin,cn=config"^ [03:29] load of stuff came up for dmesg [03:30] ArcticLight: or it suggests to sudo -i to setup the env, then run the GUI program [03:30] I mean, if gksudo doesn't work, just remove it... [03:30] your usb should be near the end of you unplugged it and plugged it back in [03:30] 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] sdb something usually [03:30] it was sdc before [03:30] or sdc etc [03:30] yeah [03:30] pastebin.com/yJfCckBy [03:30] somesip: um........ so the answer to my question is essentially "Don't"... [03:31] ? [03:31] ldapmodify -D "cn=admin,cn=config" -W -x -f xxxx.lidf => ldap_bind: Invalid credentials (49) ... [03:31] 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] no - not right [03:32] I'm having trouble finding methods of removing the LVM data from the Ubuntu Server USB [03:32] or in general [03:32] @ ArcticLight might want to also look at this http://meta.askubuntu.com/questions/6634/psa-gksu-is-no-longer-installed-by-default [03:32] well [03:32] ArcticLight: use sudo and a CLI program, or use sudo -i and GUI if you must. That's my interpretation [03:32] somesip: If I understand the -i command correctly, it won't set it up the same way [03:32] not FROM the USB, but from a volume as I use the installation USB [03:32] ArcticLight: I'm going from that URL. I don't use gksudo at all and always use CLI [03:33] otend: pvremove on your usb drive should wipe the label. [03:33] I used dd command to erase my usb [03:34] hello [03:34] but when i replug it is not completely destroy [03:34] 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] g gedit) [03:34] only way I can get it to recognize is to restart [03:34] somesip: Oh well [03:34] can some one help me with Java? [03:34] somesip: I'll keep looking I guess [03:34] use mkfs.vfat /dev/sdXY to wipe your usb [03:34] Lusha: I know quite a bit about java, what do you need help with? [03:35] supertough: you used something like dd if=/dev/zero of=/dev/sdb bs=8M ? [03:35] ArcticLight: I can only reiterate what's said on the URL. Good luck [03:35] somesip: Thanks for your help anyway [03:35] Im trying to use command line prompts to update it because i keep getting an error from wine that it needs JRE 1.5.0 but when i go to update it at this step i get stuck "sudo mkdir -p /usr/lib/jvm/jre1.7.0 " [03:36] I think i need to change some thing in the line but i dont know what needs to be changed [03:37] Lusha: normally you would install jre from within windows - easiest way is to bring up a windows browers, then install the jre for windows from there. [03:37] im not on windows [03:37] HELP ME PLEASE! ldapmodify -D "cn=admin,olcDatabase={1}hdb,cn=config" -W -x -f k.ldif => ldap_bind: Invalid credentials (49) [03:37] okay then this might help: http://pkill-9.com/install-java-1-7-ubuntudebian-apt-get-fedora-rpm/ [03:38] Does anyone have experience fixing locale issues? [03:38] <_PehdeN_> stupid issue, system says The following packages have been kept back: [03:38] <_PehdeN_> linux-headers-generic linux-headers-server linux-image-server linux-server [03:38] <_PehdeN_> 0 upgraded, 0 newly installed, 0 to remove and 4 not upgraded. [03:39] Lusha: this might be easier: http://pkill-9.com/easy-way-to-install-java-runtime-enviorment-jre-in-debian/ [03:39] realise that is debian but prolly same for ubuntu [03:39] _PehdeN_: apt-get dist-upgrade if you want to install them [03:39] I tried that earlier and nothing changes [03:39] <_PehdeN_> but this is 12.04 server edition [03:40] <_PehdeN_> lts. [03:40] Lusha: tried? [03:40] ya. [03:40] _PehdeN_: and? If you want to install them, that's how you do it. You may not want to install them. [03:41] _Pheden_: tried installing them individually? [03:41] This is what i am trying [03:41] 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] _PehdeN_: warning - yesterday someone complained that doing a dist-upgrade on their LTS server caused them problems. YMMV [03:42] <_PehdeN_> hmm. [03:42] <_PehdeN_> so how would i update these manually [03:42] Lusha: this shows in my xubuntu system: openjdk-7-jre so sudo apt-get install openjdk-7-jre [03:42] _PehdeN_: that question makes no sense. Can you rephrase? [03:43] 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] Cause its update 5? [03:43] sudo apt-get install linux-image-server maybe? [03:43] Lusha: just use the sudo command I gave above. [03:43] Ill try it [03:44] 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] _PehdeN_: you would break something even if you found a way to do that. Use apt-get. [03:45] roasted, you might try MaxTapTime and MaxTapMove [03:45] <_PehdeN_> ok [03:45] th0r: thanks. I'll dig them up. [03:46] Lusha: did that work for you? [03:47] I dunno yet [03:47] okay i just done formatting my usb [03:47] it said only read only [03:47] Lusha: that hauls in a lot of information [03:47] why can't I add any files on here? [03:47] supertough: what filesystem did you format it to? [03:47] fat32 === JKL1234- is now known as JKL|Away [03:48] Error while copying to "8GB". [03:48] supertough: check the mount command and options it used. see if root can write to it.. [03:48] When doing a network boot of ubuntu, I am getting 'Please provide a name for this Disc, such as 'Debian 5.0.3 Disk 1' [03:48] supertough: mount it rw. mount -o rw,remount [03:48] this destination is read only [03:48] th0r: neither seem to have much of a positive response. Do you have any other suggestions? [03:48] /dev/sdc [03:48] supertough: this may help: http://pkill-9.com/mount-usb-micro-sd-card-linux-automount/ [03:48] supertough: you sure its not /dev/sdc1 ? [03:49] roasted, nope. Haven't done much with synclient other than turn the pad on and off. But I did capture the list of settings so I could tinker if I need to. [03:49] dr_willis +1 [03:49] it seems that its downloading the JDK ( at least on all ive done and checked) but I need JRE im pretty sure [03:49] Lusha: JRE is included in JDK IIRC [03:49] Tell that to wine [03:49] XD [03:50] 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] Lusha: that should install jre in linux but NOT windows. [03:50] Im using ubuntu... thus ubuntu chat room....? [03:50] Lusha, lols java for wine, you should mention that earlier [03:50] someone used sonata mpd client??? [03:50] Lusha: you might need the iced tea plugin as well (for linux) icedtea-7-plugin [03:51] Anyone available for support assistance? [03:51] would that give me the Thsi app needs a jre 1.5.0 bla bla bla error? [03:51] Lusha: that my first though applies - fireup a browser in windows and install from there. [03:51] ap0c0lyps3: may if you asked a question..... [03:51] im confused on what you mean by windows? like the panes im looking at or microsoft? [03:52] Lusha: are you trying to install JRE for wine apps? [03:52] ya [03:52] Minecraft namely [03:52] Lusha: you said you needed java for wine, correct? fire up a windows browser using wine, and install java from there . [03:52] Lusha: then people are probably referring to running things under wine, but saying 'in windows'. Just guessing, like [03:52] I am currently having 2 different issues, one with Networking, one with a game that I am playing... First I will ask about the networking issue [03:52] Lusha: why do you need wine for minecraft? [03:53] it seems it wont open it without it and what do you mean by windows browser??? [03:53] Networking Issue - Intermittent connection drop over WiFi in a fresh install of Ubuntu 12.04 [03:53] err.. theres some 'minecraft installer' script i saw on eeither webupd8 or omgubuntu the other week.... [03:53] the server doesn't need wine [03:53] There are a few deffinitions of windows and it gets me confused [03:53] ap0c0lyps3: are you using network mangler? [03:53] it's a java program [03:53] i ran the w8 some thing script earlier and no luck [03:53] download the .jar [03:53] Not to my knowledge, unless it comes base with Ubuntu [03:53] Lusha: minecraft is written in java./ but it might want the Oracle Java.. [03:53] make sure you have java [03:53] Jar wont open [03:54] someone used sonata mpd client??? [03:54] ah yeah you need a diff java [03:54] java -jar ~/minecraft.jar [03:54] Lusha: and how are you trying to start the jar? [03:54] Lusha: http://www.minecraftwiki.net/wiki/Setting_up_a_server#Linux_instructions [03:54] hola... como accedo a la configuración de sonido? [03:54] i thought minecradt came with a script to launch it with some options [03:54] double clicking which now that i think of it is wrong isnt it [03:54] !es | camilo_ [03:54] 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. [03:54] Lusha: see the part labeled "Ubuntu" [03:54] Lusha: very very wrong [03:54] !es | camilo_ [03:54] Lusha: run those first three commands [03:54] Lusha: then your minecraft should work [03:55] ok can we use the private chats? i cant keep p [03:55] up* [03:55] Lusha: use your scroll wheel [03:55] I need acces for configuration sound [03:55] camilo en el panel [03:55] Lusha: i whoudl think its time to read that url eph3meral posted .. [03:55] Lusha: colored nicknames help as well, install XChat [03:55] :-) [03:55] I mean i cant keep one conversation from another hold up [03:56] Blue1: Negative on the Network Mangler unless it comes base with Ubuntu [03:56] I have Xfce [03:57] !who [03:57] As you can see, this is a large channel. If you're speaking to someone in particular, please put their nickname in what you say (use !tab), or else messages get lost and it becomes confusing :) [03:57] someone used sonata??? [03:58] I've got a problem trying to forward audio from my android 4.1 phone to my lubuntu 13.04 computer via bluetooth. Could I get some help?

[04:02] i need help [04:02] afkjdsafjdsa;l [04:02] can't even get my usb to write [04:02] shiman6_: I do this by installing blueman [04:02] Lusha: and you may want to restart the issue from the beginning. [04:02] shiman6_: As far as I know, ubuntu doesn't do this well without the blueman application handling it. [04:03] Blueman is already installed with the experimental checkbox checked [04:03] I also have pulseaudio installed, and pavucontrol. it seems to connect fine, i just get no audio [04:03] supertough: mount -o rw,remount /dev/sdc1 /mnt/point [04:04] shiman6_: Hm... Have you checked inside the sound applet? Sometimes I get that, and selecting my mic as input device and then selecting the phone stream under Ubuntu's audio controls makes it suddenly start working. [04:04] how do I use !tab? I spoke with someone, and have received no response.... They may have stepped away though [04:04] shiman6_: I'm not sure if that'll help in your case though. [04:04] !tab | ap0c0lyps3 [04:04] ap0c0lyps3: You can use your key for autocompletion of nicknames in IRC, as well as for completion of filenames and programs on the command line. === JKL|Away is now known as JKL1234- [04:05] that is it i'm going to just install fedora [04:05] bye [04:05] ap0c0lyps3: the tab key just auto completes their nickname.. [04:05] Dr_willis | ubottu | somsip : Thank you all [04:06] I'll give it a shot. So, you select the mic as the input device in pavucontrol, then select the phone stream under ubuntu audio controls? Dont know where i can find that in LUbuntu [04:06] Blue1 : Seems to have stepped away, is anyone else capable of assisting me with my network connection issues over WiFi? [04:08] <[[thufir]]> how do I get parole to play this playlist? http://pastebin.com/Du3iAbjA I tried "open with" and selected parole without luck.
