upshootI've had a really annoying problem for a whlile now, and would love some pointers to help me troubleshoot it.   It I have a dual boot machine (Dell Studio 1745), in windows the USB devices are quire responsive.  On ubuntu, mouse and keyboard are very sluggish.  BUT touchpad works just like windows - immediate and no 'submarining of cursor as it move across the screen.  Is this fixable?  where to start?00:03

Someone has compiled a version on launchpad, but it's missing the bittorrent support - https://launchpad.net/~alex-p/+archive/notesalexp-precise/+build/3972178 - looking at their rules file I can see that they've only enabled bittorrent during building for "Quantel", most likely because of a new libtorrent-rasterbar6.  Does anyone have any suggestions on how I can get f00:17

Prock81do u know that it has correct partitions01:42

kasiibodom, i get pop up window  only01:43
Prock81gparted is the easyer way to work with partitions01:43
Prock81so are you wanting to use that drive for a bootable install01:43
mish-Loshki: That's where I'm lost, "Fatrat 1.2" required a lot libboost, libtorrent-rasterbar-dev and libpion-dev that aren't available on Precise.  I tried a few alternate deb packages but the versions had differences that meant it wouldn't compile, function names, etc.01:44
bodomkasii: pop-up window? So you press the power button, and, before everything, you get that pop-up?01:45
Prock81 mamece2 what does #cat /proc/partitions say01:45
mamece2Prock81: i cant boot, i just get to that line and it stops01:45

aaa801I am unable to mount a usb3 drive formatted exFAT 64gb, with a unknown partition table error , works fine under windows, any help?01:49
Loshkimish-: sorry, I know of no magic that will make it easier. Binaries built on earlier releases tend to be runnable on later ones, if they're not too far apart, but what you want to do is so unsupported it's not funny...01:49
bodomkasii: that could just be an MBR issue. Try booting from the install CD/DVD. Once you get to the Ubuntu boot menu, tell it to boot from HD instead01:50
bodomkasii: If it doesn't work, you could also try this tool: https://help.ubuntu.com/community/Boot-Repair01:50
mish-Yeah, I either need to upgrade to Quantel or find a download manager that (1) Supports torrents and HTTP files, (2) Has a web interface, (3) Supports scheduling.  "Fatrat" was the only one I found that ticks all three of those boxes.01:50
mish-If anyone has any thoughts on another application that can do the above, let me know.01:50
bodomkasii: If it keeps not working, i think you'll need to have it checked, because it's very hard to diagnose boot problems via chat01:51

Dr_willisgolden_bat,  there is some apt-torrent packages i belive03:48
[[thufir]]Dr_willis: I mean, I removed curl and wget, and it removed those other packages, so I re-installed them.03:48
Dr_willishpm,  ugh. vga.    No weirdness in between? no kvm switches or anything?03:48
Dr_willis[[thufir]],  use htop and ps , and you tell me whats respawning.. i dont have any way to find out.03:49

Dr_willisarcripex,  we only 'support' the official ubuntu variants here.     all these other variants.. have their own channels03:51

Dr_willishpm,  when things work some times and others not.. i find its often a hardware issue.. not a driver/software issue03:56

rosenzweigHow do I check whether or not the free driver is installed and being used on Ubuntu?03:58
rosenzweigThe free radeon one.03:59
rosenzweigBecause I don't think it is used.03:59

Dr_willischadmandoo,  depends on what the script is doing04:02
* [[thufir]] slinks away after looking in firefox downloads...04:02
Dr_willis[[thufir]],  the browser extension was doing it when you started the browser?04:02
chadmandooDr_willis: well basically I want it to run x11vnc service, which is just one command, and also I want it to start my svn daemon04:03
chadmandooalso one command04:03
[[thufir]]it was being handled by the plugins and curl, but when they were removed firefox picked it up (I think).04:03
arcripexDr_willis stil same ERRORS04:03
Dr_willischadmandoo,  you can start some things in /etc/rc.local  but you may want to check the x11vnc docs for a proper way to start it at system boot04:03
Dr_willischadmandoo,  you can spawn a seperate vnc session thats hidden, and is NOT showing the current desktop by using a differnt vncserver other then x11vnc04:04
chadmandooDr_willis what VNC would you suggest using?  I tried to use teamviewer but it is extremely flaky for some reason, it works sometimes and other times it doesn't04:05
Dr_willishttp://seb.so/vnc-from-boot-without-logging-in-ubuntu-lubuntu-xubuntu-and-mint-lmde/04:05
Dr_willischadmandoo,  i just ssh in and start a 'vncserver' like vnc4server or xtightvnc.04:05
Dr_willisi dont want to share the current desktop normally - I just want a remote desktop04:05
Dr_willisi also dont do vnc over the intenet.. just the local lan04:05
arcripexDr_willis even SKYPE does nt install but before upgrade from Ubuntu 12.04 LTS everythin was workin fine04:06
chadmandooDr_willis i also do not do VNC outside of the local LAN, and using my mikrotik router to act as a VPN04:06
Dr_willischadmandoo,  well  that url i posted seems decent for x11vnc and lightdm. but its a little old. no idea if all the info still applies04:07
chadmandooDr_willis i may look into another solution like you suggested04:08
Dr_willisi tend to just ssh into the box.. run vncserver, then connect with a vnc client..   wife or kids dont even know i go ta vnc session going on their pc. ;004:08
Dr_willisi dont want to see wht they are doing 'locally'04:08
chadmandooI love using teamviewer but doesn't seem stable on Ubuntu, or atleast on my machine04:09
akurilinAre most people nowadays using checkinstall? I keep seeing all sorts of big scary red signs on the ubuntu help page for it.04:10
Dr_willisi imagine most people are NOT using checkinstall ;)04:10
Dr_willispeople that actually compile these days - are getting fewer and fewer.04:11
akurilinI guess my real question was: is there any reason for me not to use it if I want to improve on a regular make? Is it a pretty stable / time proven tool?04:12
Dr_willisif you are going to use it on your own personal systems..  i guess you can. ;)  but  releaseing packages built with it to the world  will get a lot of yelling i imagine.04:12
Dr_willisive no idea how stable it is.  there might be some people in the ubuntu developent channel that may know.04:13
chadmandooDr_willis do you know much about subversion04:13
Dr_willisbut they also most likely know enough to not need it.04:13
Dr_willisI rarely need to compile stuff these days chadmandoo .. so i dont do svn, or git, or that other stuff much.04:13
akurilinTo clarify, this is definitely for personal/production use. It's just that sometimes you don't get a make uninstall or you reconfigure the make before uninstalling and so you have to clean up everything by hand.04:14
akurilinDr_willis, in any case, appreciate the advice! :)04:15

aeon-ltdno04:36
ninjabox__sortof bridge them to pull data?04:36
aeon-ltdno, if say they were 54mbps each you'd have more bandwidth but i doubt that's the bottlenecj04:37
giraffeugh and so the beard growing begins04:38
ninjabox__well the bottle neck is my comp...lol, it's a 4 year old hp pavilion04:38
aeon-ltdi'm sure there was a discussion about this on a popular forum or it might have been here about using 2 ethernet connections to get faster04:38
giraffelooks like dhcp configs were misplaced by design, who needs standards anyway04:38
ninjabox__so it would work on ethernet but not on wireless?04:39
aeon-ltdno it does the same, increase potential bandwidth04:39
ninjabox__basicly it's not worth the trouble doing it?04:39
aeon-ltdso you could do 2 x 1gbps up and down instead of 1gbps full duplex04:40
ninjabox__i see what your saying now.04:40
aeon-ltdno, plus power usage if this is a laptop04:40
ninjabox__i could increase the bandwith by splitting the jobs like using 2 video cards and having one specificly for physics04:41
aeon-ltdnow if you could use 2 different networks, that could be interesting04:41

gordonjcpninjabox__: encryption on spinning rust is cripplingly slow05:09
ninjabox__shady_: did you check the drivers?05:09
ninjabox__lol05:09
ninjabox__spinning rust is nice...reminds me of my brakes :D05:09
gordonjcpninjabox__: I *did* try disk encryption just because the option was there, but it made my machine unusable05:09
ninjabox__eww05:09
shady_actually i upgrade from 11.10 but i dont know how to check the drivers05:09
ninjabox__time to replace the "rust" eh?05:09
gordonjcpI do a lot of audio work, so I'm slinging a lot of data on and off the disk05:10
gordonjcpand I don't really see the point in disk encryption anyway05:10
ninjabox__shady_: check in your system settings for proprietary drivers and see if your issue is there05:10
ninjabox__well if you have a good enough password on your account and your system is secure then there is no reason for it05:11
ninjabox__but if you work for a company that requires it and your working from home then your are SOL05:11

ichthysHello all. If i have a debian bind server setup as my DNS server. how can i add this server as my DNS on another Ubuntu server? it doesnt seem to work by just adding 'nameserver <ip>' to the '/etc/resolv.conf' file05:45
Braiamichthys, because the NM is managing the connection, check that05:46
gordonjcpNeozonz: it would be interesting to see what the developer is developing on05:46
ninjabox__i hate you braiam, i was about to say the same thing05:46
Braiamninjabox__, is natural...05:47

ichthysis there an easy way to check if NM is the culprit.   I have a bare bones ubuntu 12.04 server install. with no GUI05:49
Braiamnever late to learn Neozonz05:49
ichthysi dont see a /etc/networkmanager directory05:49
ninjabox__no gui on 12.04?05:50

ltsamprosdkms phase is failing with "unable to determine the current kernel version"05:52
Braiamwhere it appears?05:53
ltsamprosso when you do apt-get install nvidia-current (e.g.) the kernel modile fails to build05:53
ninjabox__Itsampros: can you specify a version to get?05:53
ltsamprosin /var/lib/dkms/nvidia-current/$VERSION/build/make/log05:53

ltsamprosbroken laptop no monitor, nouveau does not recognize the card and the intel card uses the broken monitor by default05:54

unstableIt seems to be downloading the videos fine. I can play them manually with mplayer.. though they don't play from electric sheep.07:59

unstablelotuspsychje: I don't have xscreensaver installed.08:06
lotuspsychjeunstable: lemme try installing it, never heard of this package08:06
unstablelotuspsychje: It's great. It uses genetric programming. The sheep are represented as an array of integers that get passed into this engine called flam3. Then the sheep can mate with each other.. to make new screen saver sheep. You can hit up/down arrow to vote. So over time the most genetically evolved sheep/screen savers win.08:08
Dr_willisheh - i heard of it toyed with it ages ago i recall. ;)08:08

Dr_willisI could plug my phone into a HDMI monitor.. but if the monitor dident have speakers.. im not sure how it would get audio. the headphone jack might work.09:40

lotuspsychjeit also depends on what cullz wants, remote his ubuntu or just slave his laptop screen on the android09:44
l9best way too controll a ubuntu media server is too use xbmc remote from the phone... quick easy and awsome09:45

Is it possible to buy a cheap microphone to plug into the audio line in as a quick fix?12:03

captianyipeah its alright. Im not enough to bother you12:04
captianyipeworried*12:05
seedocaptianyipe, editing the grub configuration file to add acpi_osi=Linux and acpi_backlight=vendor did the trick12:07

ackbahrHi! How can I ask my Ubuntu computer to ask for  preferred IP address when connecting to WiFi (but still accept another one if unavailable)?12:09

foofoobarHi. Is there a 64bit mac ubuntu image which fits on a 700mb cd-r ?12:14
foofoobarI don't have any dvd-r :/12:14
seedojost_, would you please explain a bit further on what to do to exchange?12:14
Dr_willisfoobarba1,  use a usb flash perhaps? the releases of 12.04 and befoir fit on cd12:15
captianyipeseedo, do you mean the files located at /sys/class/backlight/*/brightness12:15
Dr_willislubuntu Might still fit  on a 700mb cd in later reelases12:15
seedocaptianyipe, Yep. That's it12:15
jribfoofoobar: you could use a flash drive or grab the minimal installer (and then you can have the packages downloaded during install)12:15
foofoobarDr_willis, I can't use a flash, my macbook needs a cd/dvd to install from12:15
captianyipewhen i do a ls on that i get /sys/class/backlight/apple_backlight/brightness12:15
captianyipewhoops12:16
jost_seedo: you could either exchange the event or the action line between the files.12:16
jribfoofoobar: although maybe minimal won't have the "mac parts"12:16
foofoobarjrib, minimal installer = server install?12:16
jrib!minimal | foofoobar12:16
ubottufoofoobar: The Minimal CD image is very small in size, and it downloads most packages from the Internet during installation, allowing you to select only those you want (the installer is like the one on the !Alternate CD). See https://help.ubuntu.com/community/Installation/MinimalCD12:16
Dr_willis!minimal12:16
Dr_willis;)12:16
Dr_willisnight all12:16
foofoobarokay, but unlikely to find minimal + mac? :D12:16
seedocaptianyipe, Yea, I have two folders, one named acer_backlight and another one named intel_backlight12:16
yeatsfoofoobar: look at the link - there are several variants12:17
foofoobarI think I have to take the 64-bit PC (amd64, x86_64)12:17
captianyipeyeah. for me i get apple_backlight and radeon_bl0... they seem to contain a number of what my brightness is set at12:17
seedothe 'brightness' file in acer_backlight is unaffected by the hotkey press12:17
Arch-rMBPanyone know of a util that will do a keystroke like crtl-f5 every 30 seconds forever or till i quit? I have found some keystroke recorders but they are count down types12:18
foofoobarIs just the UI missing in the server installation compared to the "normal" version?12:19
seedocaptianyipe, Those grub options set the backlight control to backlight_intel. It works.12:19
seedocaptianyipe, Funny thing is that, higher the entry, lower the brightness,12:19
captianyipeseedo, alright. better not to fix whats not really broken.12:20
captianyipeseedo, yeah that seems to be the case12:20
seedocaptianyipe, That's why I see the reverse behavior when adjusting backlight. :D12:20
yeatsArch-rMBP: you might look into usage of the 'yes' command12:20
seedoI'm fine with this. At least I can adjust backlight now.12:20
odraencodeHey12:20
seedoWhat really pisses me off is no recording possibility :(12:21

foofoobarIt won't let me install from flash .. I have to use a cd/dvd12:25
foofoobarbut sadly no dvd-r12:25
captianyipeyeah. I cant get my mac to boot from DVD either12:25
captianyipei mean flash12:25
captianyipewhoops lol. I have to use dvds...12:25
foofoobarBut I have no DVD-R here to burn it :D So I'm looking for a version smaller than 700mb12:25
captianyipewell that is a bother. Really, the iso has not been able to fit onto a 700mb cd since 12.0412:26
foofoobarmaybe I can get the minimal-amd64-pc installer running12:26
captianyipethe pc version should work just as fine as the mac iso. are you planning on a dualboot with OSX?12:27

captianyipelinuxranger: too bad macs cant boot well from usb =(12:33
captianyipefoofoobar, it is possible to get your mac to boot from usb, i have tried it before... you just need to track down the grub2 efi file and place it on your usb stick with the iso image. If i remember a few german people made a nice one... however when i tried it my mac would only load the kernal and then immeaditly hang. you could give that a go if you are desperate...12:35

seedo_jost_, what is wrong with lightdm in your case? I'm sorry I didn't bother to check 13.04 too much, 12.10 is just running fine for me. Thank God I didn't just do an update12:55
AlbertoI know that bekks but if i want to install libre office 4 or a newest version of empathy i will have problems or not?12:55

bascherzAlberto: I just migrated from 10.04 LTS to 12.04 LTS yesterday and have had no issues with anything. Libre Office and Empathy upgraded automatically. I replaced the Unity UI with Gnome. It's a little different, but still pretty much the same as before.12:56

abcbekks : u mean i won't be able to install oracle?13:00
SvetlinaHi13:00

bekksabc: Ubuntu is not a supported distro by Oracle.13:01
cfhowlettAlberto, yes.  sudo dkpg -i libreoffice.deb will do the trick13:01

bekksabc: Mysql, postgres.13:03
abcelse than mysql and sybase and db2?13:03
jost_krux: I'll give the purge a try.13:03
AlbertoI know bascherz I use 13.04 for awhile  but i prefer stay whith lts13:03
cfhowlettAlberto, you COULD stay with 10.04 ... but I wouldn't advise it.  lack of support including security upgrades is not a happy place.13:04
bascherzAlberto: You can make 12.04 look and feel just like 10.0413:04
jost_OerHeks: jep, it's owned by root alright.13:04
AlbertoI have 12.0413:04

bonnohello all, i have the last ubuntu LTS and i have recently installed teamviewer. but whenever i start the pc it makes a connection with the internet by itself... and now i tried to kill teamviewer , yes it restarts with other PID13:10
morningOn a new laptop, I want to wipe out Windows and set up Ubuntu, with a separate home partition. Regarding the EFI boot partition: "Since Ubuntu 12.04, it is possible to re-use an existing Windows7 EFI partition (without formatting it)." But if you create a new EFI partition, then "Size: minimum 100Mib. 200MiB recommended." My laptop has an existing Windows 8 EFI partition, but it's only 272 MB. Should I use it as is? Increase its size? Or13:10
morning erase it and create a new one?13:10
bekksbonno: Then stop the teamviewer service.13:11
bonnohow?13:11
abcbekks how to stop the services?13:11
bekksmorning: 100MB < 200MB < 272MB.13:11
bonnonow i see that the connection is closed ... and teamviewer terminated by itself13:11
bekksbonno: I guess there is something like /etc/init.d/teamviewer13:12
morningbekks: Duh! Of course! Thank you so much. (Very early in the morning!)13:12
jost_OerHeks: Hmm, the conditions described don't seem right. The update was something I tried afterwards.13:12
morningAnd on a new laptop with 8 MB and an ssd, do I need swap space, or should I just skip it?13:13
morningsorry: 8 GB13:13
bonnoso do i delete that? or what?13:14
bekksmorning: If you want hibernation, you need 8GB swap.13:14
bekksbonno: No. You stop it.13:14
bekksbonno: sudo /etc/init.d/teamviewer stop for instance.13:14
morningbekks: Understood. Thanks. My experience with Ubuntu (some versions back) is that hibernation tends to be unreliable. And an ssd boots fast. So I guess I can do without the swap.13:15
abcbekks, I am new to ubuntu....13:15
bekksmorning: For me, hibernation works reliably for years now.13:15
abcI have heard about wine13:16
bekksmorning: And personally, I always have a swap space. :)13:16
morningBekks: Hmmm. Maybe I should give it a go, then.13:16
bonnonow that teamviewer is closed there is nothing like that in /etc/init.d ... how do i make teamviewer not to connect to the internet then?13:16
abccan the oracle be installed thru wine?13:16
bekksabc: Which is not a virtualization technology, but an emulation technology.13:16
bekksbonno: By not using it. Teamviewer - by design - requires a working internet connection to contact the teamviewer hosts to enable you to actually use it.13:17
bekksabc: No. Forget wine when talking about Oracle.13:17
bekksabc: Use a supported host operating system, done.13:18
bonnoso you tell me that it will always connect to the internet even though i am not actually launching the program manually ?13:18
bekksbonno: Correct.13:18
bonnothank you :) very helpfull :)13:18

theadminjiku: update-grub is a script present only in Ubuntu for all I know, you'd have to use grub-mkconfig on other distributions13:36
bonnoyeah debian squeeze would do the job13:36
bonnobut only update/reinstall grub13:37
jikudo i have to chroot after entring the LIVE CD environment in squeeze ?13:37
theadminjiku: That'd probably be the best option, actually.13:37
theadminjiku: Make sure it has the same architecture, though13:37
jikutheadmin, bonno, lets see..13:38
jikutrying to do nw.13:38
bonnoi think debian squeeze live cd has the opotion to install grub without chroot... as you go through the installation proccess of the live cd a step is to install grub bootloader13:39
bonnoyou wont use the script13:40
bonnotheadmin, i am not talking about the ubuntu script13:40
theadminEh, sure but if we're fixing Ubuntu's grub probably best to do it from Ubuntu, whether a LiveCD or a chroot or whatever13:40
bonnoyeah i agree but he/she said they dont have ubuntu live cd :P13:40
theadminbonno: Then chroot to the Ubuntu install they already have and do it from there13:41
bonnoi dont know how he could chroot :P13:42
bonnotheadmin, should i install i3 aloside with xmonad?13:43
theadminbonno: Sure, don't see why not. Unlike xmonad, though, i3's config is simple and text-based, it's not really programmable.13:43
theadminbonno: Awesome is, though.13:43
=== raster is now known as Guest23732
bonnowhat do you mean it is not programmable?13:45
theadminbonno: Well, xmonad's config is written in Haskell, a programming language. You can make it do about anything.13:47
prxinstalled a deafult installation of LAMP, where should my .htaccess file be?13:47
somsipbonno: and awesome uses lua. Ditto on the last point13:48

foofoobarSo I'm trying to install ubuntu here as dual boot on my macbook pro with the minimal cd. I installed the base system to /dev/sda4 (ext4, mount point: /) and added a swap /deb/sda5. Then I installed Grub to /dev/sda4. When I rebooted, rEFIt showed me a new icon for linux. I selected it, grub was loaded, I selected "ubuntu" and then I got a black screen.13:57
foofoobarI then rebooted and now when I select the icon I just get a screen with this linux icon, nothing more13:58
foofoobarWhat can I do now?13:58
foofoobarI already tried opening the rEFIt partition tool, but this tells me that the MBR is in sync, so no need to fix13:58
rockycfhowlett, like in we see sound- inside sound we can see all connected hardware, sameway there should be video- should be able to see all hardware connected13:58
rockycfhowlett, this way ubuntu labels the connected hardware and other applications use video input can easily the input13:59
madc|SPYnXcfhowlett, is that it bridged? can i access ubuntu on vbox to my host14:00

SpadoI come from the hackintosh world16:46
xylonSpado: well then, welcome...to the Future!16:47
Spadoand I kinda tried how some operating systems perform just with their hardware... but is it really that ubuntu, the most common linux distro, doesn't perform well with an up-to-date (or almost) hardware like the 5770?16:48
OerHeksATI 2xxx 3xxx 4xxx are bad supported by the ATI driver.16:48
xylonSpado: I think it would probably be better on a HDD16:48
xylonOerHeks its ATI 5xxx16:49
SpadoI can see that, but basically I will never get full performance like I used to get on Windows/Mac OS?16:50
xylonSpado: Like I said, if you're running off USB Xubuntu or Lubuntu could be a better choice.16:51
SpadoI also tried installing the driver in the software center (without restarting, I don't know if I had to) but it didn't make a difference16:51
ovidiu_Chi all, is there any chance to recover and ext4 partition mounted as swap accidentaly? the mount command gives me wrong fs type, bad option, bad superblock on /dev/sda616:52
SpadoThanks for that suggestion, the matter is: I could install on an HDD, but would that somehow succeed in giving me full video performance? I would think it has more to do with the actual driver rather than where my filesystem is16:53

cnfxkernel: what from that article isn't working?21:41
UBlondie...I was also able to edit the contents of the file using gedit by the way ...so in that context it seems 'writable'21:41
DiegoNolanwell can i change my keyboard to programmer dvorak via cmomand line, else i'm going to take 5 days to back these files up in qwerty21:41
xkernelcnf, didn't try it yet but I see it's identifies a USB device S/N and UUID to authenticate it21:41
cnfyes...21:41
xkernelcnf, this can be easily evade by a microcontroller  or fake device,  I'm looking for something that fetches certificate from the USB21:42
cnfwhy? i think it's kinda stupid anyway21:43
cnf1)  physical access means it is too late, really, anyway21:43
cnfit's far easier booting from usb than faking usb ID's21:43
cnf2) doesn't work remote21:43
cnf3) TOTP is FAR easier, and works remote21:43
servvsokay so i made the terrible decision today to upgrade to 13.04, I have to revert to the live disc because I am not able to use internet and my video looks terrible, my resolution is way down. Is this a common issue with 13.04 not installing the proper drivers?21:44
cnfxkernel: and 4) TOTP has to be authed every time, so it is secure remote as well21:45
OerHeksm1chael, read after #35, the issue is solved, it was a bios update, not a wpa issue, so it will be available tru updated atheros  i guess, else be patient.21:45
cnfxkernel: so my main question would be, what exactly are you trying to accomplish?21:45
xkernelcnf, like I said in the beginning; authentication with device as well as password like https://www.hidglobal.com/products/cards-and-credentials/identity-assurance/usb-tokens21:47
cnfxkernel: those work by generating OTP21:48
cnfnot by having "a certificate"21:48
cnfxkernel: do you have a smartphone?21:49
xkernelcnf, not currently21:49
xkernelcnf but will get one, what the solution you want to say??21:49
cnfxkernel: TOTP (Time based One Time Password)21:49
cnfsmart phone generates a token, that is valid for 30 seconds, and one time use21:50
cnfit's what my servers have21:50
xkernelcnf,  which application will be installed on the smart phone to generate the password???21:50
cnfseveral can do it21:50
cnfthe google authenticator app for iOS and android does it, but i prefer the Duo Security app on iOS or android myself21:50
cnfhttps://play.google.com/store/apps/details?id=com.duosecurity.duomobile for android21:51
cnfhttps://itunes.apple.com/us/app/duo-mobile/id422663827?mt=8 for ios21:51
cnfthere is a blackberry one as well21:51
OerHeksi use yubikey, but those systems rely on internet.21:51
xkernelcnf, is it secure enough to synchronize google authenticator app with the server? I mean is there any chance that another app match mine?21:51
cnfxkernel: it also secures my VPN21:51
* dogbert2 kicks VBox right in da junk21:51
cnfxkernel: there is no synchronize21:52
bazhangdogbert2, stop that21:52
cnfxkernel: google has nothing to do with it21:52
cnfxkernel: it's just their app you use21:52
cnfOerHeks: i use Duo services, but yeah it needs internet21:52
cnfOerHeks: you can use the yubi key offline, if you know the key secret, though21:52

OerHekswell, i can run my own auth,21:53
cnfyah21:53
cnfxkernel: the TOTP is a well documented standard21:53
cnfxkernel: google authenticator and duo security are just 2 apps that implement TOTP21:53
tf201I've never used irc, where can I find help for an android device?21:54

kristenbbhi, I'm having a problem logging into my computer. I have ubuntu 1204. I am 100% sure I didn't change my password, but I tried typing it 100 times, it's not working. I restarted the computer, I made sure I didn't have caps on or that the layout didn't change, I even tried logging in with ssh, but the password seems to have been changed. I am the only one using my computer. What can I do ?22:18
bekkskristenbb: Boot a livecd, and reset your password.22:18
[FreeBSD]kristenbb: try chrooting and using passwd command22:19
kristenbbbekks: my drive is encrypted.22:19
bekkskristenbb: Then you have to boot a livecd, decrypt your drive, and reset your password.22:19
kristenbbbekks: ok. Could you please detail the steps to decrypt it ?22:20
bekkskristenbb: I have no clue, since I am not using decryption myself due to lack of reasons for encryption :)22:20
kristenbbI just checked 'encrypt home drive' when installing ubuntu, I didn't do anything special.22:21
bekkskristenbb: Then you dont even need to decrypt it.22:21
bekkskristenbb: The password hash isnt stored in your home.22:21

PrototypeX29Asince my upgrade to 13.04 i get a lot of "Sorry, Ubuntu 13.04 has experienced an internal error" is that problems that now appear, or is it just that they are more visible and have probably existed before?23:15
number-7how does that help?23:15
PrototypeX29Ajrib: i am probably trying another wm first, i am just desperate to get rid of gnome3 and have a usable system again23:15
otak_oh i get height width23:16
PrototypeX29Ajrib: my system really is slow now, though i am not sure that it is the fault of gnome323:16
chvxseronis: is it possibly to partition like /documents, or something random?23:16
Tex_NickPrototypeX29A:  i've encountered a few of those errors on 13.04 ... out of curosity, what desktop are you using ?23:16
PrototypeX29ATex_Nick: gnome3, it seems23:17
seronischvx:  partitions can be mounted to ANY location in your filesystem heirarchy you choose23:17
PrototypeX29APrototypeX29A: i am not very sure, but it is very different to the gnome i had before and it matches the complaints of linus torvalds i have read about gnome323:17
cnfmount it to /dev/null23:17

l9PrototypeX29A: fluxbox is a good wm23:18
PrototypeX29Aäh sorry that should go to Tex_Nick, not to me23:18
cnfseronis: not too hard, i do hope :P23:18
serefluxbox is so sexy23:18
seronisits a one line command.. see   'man mount'23:18
PrototypeX29Al9: i was going to try mate, but it seems it is not in the standard repo23:18
l9yupp sudo apt-get install fluxbox23:19
servvsman everything I try to install is trying to reinstall unity libraries23:19
servvsis there any way to stop this from happening?23:19
l9BUT be warned its not for the mouse clicking guy23:20
PrototypeX29Aat one point i had the problem that i was stuck to gnome, because my the wifi configuration didn't work on any other wm, and i wasn't able to find out how to use wifi with another wm23:20
seronismy solution wont work for you servvs  (install xubuntu from start)23:20
servvswe need gnubuntu23:20
seronisCLI ubuntu ?23:20
otak_servvs: apt-cache depends nautilus, a | means alternative23:21
PrototypeX29Al9: i am not the mouse clicking guy, but the problem with the more exotic wms are that they expect the user to crawl through tons of manpages, where i clearly lack the motivation23:21
MaynardWatershello, I have a 12.04 LTS install on an external HD, and I have moved it to a old ibm thinkpad23:21
servvsI just want gnome shell as my default, and want to remove my unity dependencies, but every time I try to isntall something (anything) it wants to reinstall unity things23:21
MaynardWatersit lets me log in using my normal password23:21
AndroUserAnyone comfortable with skyping me to dual boot windows 8 and ubuntu 12.0423:21
MaynardWatersthen once I am logged in, the numbers that are associated with letters take over rather than the letters23:21
MaynardWatersso i cant complete my password again23:21
MaynardWatersany suggestions on how to fix?23:22
usr13AndroUser: See my pm.23:22
l9PrototypeX29A: its not that hard when you first get into it, but it takes some effort too get it the way you want it. I have now a complet fluxbox that starts all the needed apps at boot23:22
cnfsight, still struggling with the stupid PAM23:22
usr13AndroUser: Want to do it now?23:23
servvsso is there any way to not install unity garbage with nautilus anymore?23:23
AndroUserYes23:23
servvsor anything, I don't understand why even xchat is asking for unity libs23:23
usr13AndroUser: See my pm23:23
Tex_NickPrototypeX29A:  i'm using the "gnome-fallback" desktop enviornment and experienced a few glitchs such as what you mentioned ... i've been told that gnome-fallback is kinda quirky though ... i haven't used unity much ever so it might just be a desktop enviornment issue23:24
usr13AndroUser: So, let's get going....23:24
StaticLNXis there a way to have ubuntu search for the fastest mirror and update my sources.list on ubuntu-server 12.10?23:24
PrototypeX29ATex_Nick: i just try get rid of gnome3 and unity, but i don't really seem to have an option right now23:25
cnfservvs: if you do an apt-cache show <pkgname> you can see what packages is depends on, and what packages it reccomends23:25
cnfservvs: iirc by default ubuntu also installs the recommended stuff23:25
servvsyeah, xchat libunity9, nautilus libunity9, many others libunity9 and many more23:26

I had it in my VMWare ubuntu guest machine, but I cannot find it anywhere here. How can I install it? I've tried compiling the bluez-5.5 with the test flag enabled, but it keeps telling me it can't find the systemd init dir. any help would be appreciated23:26
cnfservvs: as required, or recommended?23:26

StaticLNXanyone? D:23:26
servvsthen sudo dpkg -i nautilus*23:26

otak_WeThePeople: yup23:27
Tex_NickPrototypeX29A:  LXDE has been recommended to me by a few channel guru's ... i've installed it, just haven't found time to play customize it though23:27
cnfi don't see any unity stuff in there?23:27

NineTeen67Comethello all; I had to redo my web server and now I can't seem to access my shortcut to my web directory via ftp (Proftp). can you all help?23:34
fictiveor are there perhaps any other ways of changing my BT mac address other than using the bdaddr tool?23:35
l9NineTeen67Comet: have you configured the proftp?23:35
StaticLNXotak:sudo apt-get install netselect returns no instaltion candidate23:36
NineTeen67Cometl9: yes; it's allowing my access to my home directory (both users home directories) just like before, but last time I made a sim link to /var/www in my home directory and accessed it that way.23:36
mongStaticLNX: you can download the deb at http://packages.debian.org/stable/net/netselect23:37
l9NineTeen67Comet: might be a configure setting that you have overlooked is it allowed too follow sym links23:37

kristenbbAs I said earlier, for an unknown reason, I am not able to login into my account anymore. I didn't change the password, but it's not working. My home is encrypted, and I'd like to get it back.  I was able to boot into a live cd, and when I use ecrypt-unwrap-passphrase, my password is recognized, so I guess all is not lost, but I'd really like step by step instructions to be sure I can recover my files, they are important ones and I have no backup.23:44
bekkskristenbb: Then create one, copy all your files to another disk.23:44
kristenbbbekks: create one what?23:44
bekkskristenbb: Create a backup.23:45
kristenbba backup of my encrypted files?23:45
kristenbbis that useful?23:45
bekkskristenbb: A backup of your important files - not encrypted.23:45
kristenbbwell I will as soon as I can access them again...23:45
bekkskristenbb: You can. You just decrypted them, as you said.23:46
kristenbbI don't know the whole process of decrypting them, I just went around in google and found that ecryptfs-unwrap-passphrase command, which I tried and it outputs something when I enter the correct password.23:47
kristenbbso basically, I have the encrypted files, I have the correct password, my question is how  to connect the two.23:47
barnexhello23:50
barnexI recently installed ubuntu 12.04 with full disk encryption23:50

chophi, I'm trying to mount a samba folder with command "mount -t smbfs smb://..." but getting the error unknow filesystem smbfs. I can't find a package named smbfs with apt-cache search. Can someone help me with what package to install?23:51
barnexok, nvm, seems it was luks.23:51
bekkschop: Use cifs instead of smbfs23:52
Dr_willischop,  thats not the right syntax for mount either23:52
Dr_willissmb:// is used by nautilus  - not mount23:53
chopbekks: do you mean apt-get install cifs?23:53
bekkschop: No. mount -t cifs ...23:53
Dr_willis!samba23:54
chopDr_willis: oh. should i use //192.168... instead?23:54
ubottuSamba is the way to cooperate with Windows environments. Links with more info: https://wiki.ubuntu.com/MountWindowsSharesPermanently and https://help.ubuntu.com/12.04/serverguide/C/windows-networking.html - Samba can be administered via the web with SWAT.23:54
Dr_willischop,  only if you want it to work... ;P23:54
Dr_willissince smb:// is totally NOT what mount wants23:54
chopok thanks guys23:54
Dr_willissmb:// is special syntax used by the file manager (nautilus) and gnome apps23:54
