upshoot | I'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 |

seronis | ok getting netflix to work on xubuntu was easier than i thought it would be | 00:05 |

seronis | Hmm.. running out of things from windows to make sure I can still do | 00:06 |

upshoot | seronis: what was the trick? I have had no luck withh t that.. another reason why I dual boot my box. | 00:06 |

seronis | upshoot "sudo apt-add-repository ppa:ehoover/compholio" "sudo apt-get install netflix-desktop" | 00:07 |
seronis | its a prepatched version of wine with silverlight preinstalled | 00:07 |

ubottu | If you use Netflix, there is an unofficial solution for using it in Ubuntu detailed in http://www.compholio.com/netflix-desktop/ - bug reports in https://bugs.launchpad.net/netflix-desktop | 00:07 |

upshoot | Now if only I could figure out why my usb devices suck on ubuntu... Try editing in VI with a lag and buffering keyboard.. and worse, when it starts to double up characters. For now, using a bluetooth keyboard, so I can not go nuts. | 00:10 |
upshoot | The one good thing about the sub-par mouse responsivness is I am getting better and keyboard commands to move windows, etc. | 00:11 |

mish- | Hi! I really want the "latest" version of "fatrat" on Ubuntu Precise. 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 f | 00:17 |

mish- | elky: Will do, in the meantime, any suggestions on getting a newer libtorrent-rasterbar6 on precise so I can compile fatrat-1.2? | 00:20 |
Dr_willis | compile them from source. or find a ppa - would be the normal way | 00:20 |

userZ | Drwillis, which application to use to lauch it | 00:26 |
userZ | launch | 00:26 |
launch | userZ, what?:D | 00:26 |
Dr_willis | userZ, whats the file name it downloaded? if its an archive.. ectract it.. if its a binary.. chmod+x it and run it | 00:27 |
upshoot | Looks like adding "pci=routeirq" to my grub boot may fix the issue.. I have to say, fixing this kind of issue feels more like reading a magic incantatiion than troubleshooting..I don't understand what the 'incantation' does, but I'll try it. Not my favorite way to fly. | 00:27 |

Dr_willis | theres dozens of alternatives to unetbootin at the pendrivelinux web site (and other sites) | 00:29 |

Dr_willis | or there should be tools at the pendrivelinux site to do it.. | 00:33 |
msdaisy | [[thufir]] yes, cant remember the switch. Try -an. man netstat is your friend :) | 00:33 |
Dr_willis | if you have to ask whats dd.. then its most likely best you dont try to use dd. ;) | 00:33 |
echoe | dd is some disk thing that does disk stuff and you should totally randomly run dd commands on yoru conputer | 00:34 |
Dr_willis | dd if=thecdrom.iso of=/dev/sdX bs=4M (where sdX is the device of your usb) | 00:34 |

[[thufir]] | netstat -pat gives the output I was after. "watch netstat -pat" suffices :) however, I'd rather use ntop, which sounds like it's more designed for what I want. | 00:38 |

BlackDalek | Does the iso image of the ubuntu install disc linked to at www.ubuntu.com/download ever get updated after t is first put up on the web page? i.e. - if I downloaded from there when it first came out, then downloaded it again today, would I be downloading the same identical file? | 00:39 |
BlackDalek | after it* | 00:40 |

Dr_willis | BlackDalek, if theres updated disk it get a .01 to its name.. like 12.04.1 | 00:40 |
Dr_willis | or was it .01 | 00:40 |
[[thufir]] | echoe: well, bytes/sec to foo.com is the data I'm after. "watch netstat -pat" is pretty close. | 00:40 |
echoe | ntop looks like it's an old repo or something, have you tried installing it from ntop's repos? | 00:41 |
echoe | they're updated daily. looks like there's a .deb file at nmon.net/packages/ubuntu/ | 00:42 |
[[thufir]] | no, I haven't . I found the "c" for contionious swithc in netstat, so I'm wondering if I can get output beyond "connected" from it, a speed perhaps. | 00:42 |
echoe | every time i use netstat i still need to read the man page. :P i saw msdaisy is back, perhaps she'll know? | 00:43 |
msdaisy | echoe, [[thufir]] not off the top of my head. I'm positive what you want exists though. | 00:44 |

mdfe | the first menu in aptitde has a thing to reset the new counter | 01:18 |
Dr_willis | !aptitude | 01:18 |
ubottu | aptitude is another terminal-based front-end to APT. You may encounter problems on multiarch installs (11.10 and 12.04) as aptitude cannot handle the same package with different architectures being installed at the same time. See http://pad.lv/831768 for more information. | 01:18 |
mdfe | why mix 2 though? aptitude has its own updater | 01:18 |
mdfe | either use aptitude OR use apt-get update && apt-get upgrade | 01:19 |
Prock81 | i dont know enough about them, i know aptitude better | 01:19 |
mdfe | then use the updater in aptitude | 01:19 |

Prock81 | would avidemux(GTK+) v.s. (Qt) make a difference | 01:35 |
dopie | Hi there im having a problem with opening a program it keeps on opening another file when i open the program | 01:35 |
kasii | bodom, i hev tried several times but fails | 01:35 |
mdfe | mish-, no such thing: did you mean statically link? :-) | 01:35 |
bodom | kasii: do you get some error messages? | 01:35 |
dopie | how do i remove this sudo sublime /usr/share/applications/defaults.list | 01:35 |
dopie | this is the problem i having | 01:35 |
kasii | yes bodom | 01:36 |
dopie | everytime i type sluble it opens that defaults.list | 01:36 |
Prock81 | sudo rm /usr/share/applications/defaults.list ??? | 01:36 |
mish- | mdfe: What I guess I"m trying to do is to compile "fatrat" on Quantal and statically link it, then copy the compiled binary over to Precise, is that even do-able? | 01:36 |
kasii | bodom, yes erreos appears | 01:36 |
bodom | kasii: and what does it say? | 01:36 |
dopie | sweet thanks! | 01:37 |
Prock81 | thanks to who | 01:37 |
dopie | Prock81, to you | 01:37 |
dopie | :) | 01:37 |
kasii | bodom, it says system fails to boot | 01:37 |

mamece2 | hello guys, How can i boot ubuntu forcing it to recognizemy IDE drive ? i have a "Sata link down" message and it stops the booting | 01:38 |
bodom | kasii: nothing else? | 01:38 |
mdfe | mish-, Not sure, but you can build on a Precise VM | 01:39 |
kasii | yes bodom | 01:39 |
arcripex | help! after updating my linux now asks for user id and password on black screen at startup...and putting login details nothing happens it what could be the problem? | 01:39 |
kasii | bodom, yes thats all | 01:39 |
bodom | kasii: I'm sorry, that's too few information for me to help you | 01:39 |
SnapSnap | I'm running 13.04. When I try to install the package google-chrome-stable I get an error saying "Dependency is not satisfiable: libudev0 (>=147). What does that mean? | 01:39 |
mish- | mdfe: The issue is that the versions of the libraries that fatrat uses aren't available in precise. | 01:39 |
userZ | I've run into bug #589520 in ubuntu 10.04, any solutions? | 01:40 |
ubottu | bug 589520 in xserver-xorg-video-openchrome (Ubuntu) "[KM400]Haven't been able to execute normal gnome login since 10.04 installation; screen blanks then returns to login screen" [Medium,Confirmed] https://launchpad.net/bugs/589520 | 01:40 |
Prock81 | mamece2 is it an internal or external drive | 01:40 |
gustav___ | Any one up for helping me with dovecot? | 01:40 |
kasii | bodom, is there any command so that i can run thri=ough the terminal and see the output | 01:40 |
mamece2 | Prock81: internal, i have an IDE drive, so i dont care about that SATA chekc | 01:41 |
Prock81 | mamece2 and what is presenting the "Sata link down" message? | 01:41 |
mdfe | mish-, you can install multiple library versions | 01:41 |
mdfe | mish-, for example in a chroot, or just in your main install | 01:41 |
bodom | kasii: do you ever get the ubuntu slash screen? Ot it hangs before? | 01:41 |
arcripex | help! after updating my linux now asks for user id and password on black screen at startup...and putting login details nothing happens it what could be the problem? | 01:42 |
Prock81 | do u know that it has correct partitions | 01:42 |
Loshki | mish-: might work, might not. Can't you compile fatrat on Precise? | 01:42 |
mamece2 | Prock81: I dont know, Ive got SATA link down 1.5 Gbps (sstatus 0 scontrol 300) | 01:42 |
kasii | i get pop up window only | 01:43 |
kasii | bodom, i get pop up window only | 01:43 |
Prock81 | gparted is the easyer way to work with partitions | 01:43 |
Prock81 | so are you wanting to use that drive for a bootable install | 01:43 |
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 |
bodom | kasii: 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 say | 01:45 |
mamece2 | Prock81: i cant boot, i just get to that line and it stops | 01:45 |
Prock81 | so thats the only drive in hte machine? | 01:46 |
kasii | bodom, let restart ma pc the am gonna show you exactly responding | 01:46 |

kasii | bodom, after pressing power button it loads for while then it gives error msg | 01:47 |
Dr_willis | SnapSnap, theres a known bug about that package. I think theres some work arounds mentioned on askubuntu.com | 01:47 |
Prock81 | mamece2 i will /msg you | 01:47 |

aaa801 | I am unable to mount a usb3 drive formatted exFAT 64gb, with a unknown partition table error , works fine under windows, any help? | 01:49 |
Loshki | mish-: 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 |
bodom | kasii: 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 instead | 01:50 |
bodom | kasii: If it doesn't work, you could also try this tool: https://help.ubuntu.com/community/Boot-Repair | 01:50 |
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 |
bodom | kasii: If it keeps not working, i think you'll need to have it checked, because it's very hard to diagnose boot problems via chat | 01:51 |
kasii | bodom, may that boot repair | 01:51 |
Chiko | I just did an update and it was asking if it should use the new "my.cnf" or not i wanted to see the difference now i'm not sure how to get back and tell it to not make any changes | 01:51 |

kasii | bodom, but diagnosis via terminal its easier | 01:52 |

Chiko | thanks | 01:52 |
jrib | userZ: plug it in, done (usually) | 01:53 |
Chiko | haven't played around with chance just nano~ | 01:53 |
kasii | bodom, cant repair with the media have now usb pendrive | 01:53 |

Dr_willis | more/less is the default text 'pager' reader for most linux type disros. ;) | 01:53 |
Dr_willis | it has a LOT of features. | 01:53 |
jrib | userZ: I'd suggest mentioning the model, dmesg output when you plugged it in, and what you're seeing in cheese | 01:54 |
bodom | kasii: you'll need it | 01:54 |
wilee-nilee | userZ, I have one that works, have you installed cheese? | 01:54 |
dopie | hey all how do i give myself write access to /opt/ folder? | 01:54 |
userZ | havent installed cheese | 01:54 |
Dr_willis | dopie, for system directories like that. you want to use sudo as needed | 01:54 |
userZ | dont know the model | 01:54 |
usr13 | dopie: Why? | 01:54 |
usr13 | dopie: suod | 01:54 |

usr13 | dopie: What is your end goal? | 01:55 |
upshoot | Got my slow mouse and keyboard stuff sorted out! Man I'm glad I finally had time to dig around and sort it out. Needed to set some boot parameters (pci=routirq irqpoll) | 01:55 |
upshoot | Now I'm happy as a clam. | 01:55 |
kasii | bodom, i need to know the steps of repairing with pendrive i have | 01:55 |
dopie | i want to remove a dir in /opt/ | 01:55 |
bodom | dopie: as root, you can change the group of it to match your user's group, but it's not adviced to do so | 01:55 |
usr13 | dopie: Okeydokey | 01:56 |
Dr_willis | dopie, so do it via the cli with the proper sudo rm command | 01:56 |
upshoot | The other excellent tweak I ran across was to replace capslock with escape functionality, which really rocks. (CapsLock is basically useless, but esc is used all the time for vi.) | 01:56 |
roddy | question how can i make a new server so that a friend of mine and me join only? | 01:56 |
bodom | kasii: you cna follow this guide: https://help.ubuntu.com/community/Boot-Repair | 01:56 |
Dr_willis | roddy, you can make a new CHANNEL here. easially enough,... /join #makeachannelname | 01:56 |
kasii | okay bodom | 01:57 |
Dr_willis | roddy, no need for you to run your own irc server | 01:57 |
roddy | awesome thanks | 01:57 |
usr13 | roddy: Create users for yourself and your friend. | 01:57 |
userZ | cheese worked..yes...thanks | 01:57 |
upshoot | Tip: to change your useless capslock, system settings => keyboard layout => options -> CapsLock key behavior. Really nice to stay near the home row. :-) | 01:57 |
bodom | kasii: good luck :) | 01:57 |
userZ | printer installed, webcam installed...ubuntu is functional | 01:57 |
Dr_willis | userZ, You are using 10.04 ? | 01:58 |
userZ | yes | 01:58 |
kasii | okay | 01:58 |
Dr_willis | userZ, to bad that release is basically end of life for desktop support... | 01:58 |
Chiko | It appears iptables does not have any type of config file so on every reboot i must re-enter in all the information that i want it to have is that correct? | 01:58 |
userZ | DrWillis, I needed a distro that fit on a cd | 01:58 |
Chiko | if so is there any reason for this is it to prevent accidently blocking your self out from the system? | 01:58 |
Dr_willis | userZ, Lubuntu 12.04 i think fits on a cd. | 01:59 |
userZ | does it start quick? | 01:59 |
Dr_willis | i have no idea what you mean by 'start quick' | 01:59 |
userZ | 30 seconds | 02:00 |
Dr_willis | 13.04 boots up here in under 15 sec on my SSD system. | 02:00 |
jrib | Chiko: why would you re-enter information manually? | 02:00 |
Dr_willis | when i get 4+ weeks uptime.. i dont worry about 1-2 min boot times... | 02:00 |
roddy | usr13, how? | 02:00 |
Chiko | jrib: I'm not i'm saying on reboot the information is lost so i assume it's not saving it and so i would need to re-add it on boot? | 02:00 |
userZ | is there a list of all previous versions that fit on cd? | 02:00 |
jrib | Chiko: if that's what you want to do. Most people do not do that. | 02:01 |
Dr_willis | userZ, they all did.. up intull 12.10 Ubuntu | 02:01 |
Dr_willis | userZ, and i think 12.10 Lubuntu might still fit on cd. | 02:01 |
Chiko | jrib: I don't want to i'm asking for help on how it should be done | 02:01 |
jrib | !iptables | Chiko | 02:01 |
ubottu | Chiko: Ubuntu, like any other Linux distribution, has firewall capabilities built-in. The firewall is managed using the 'ufw' command - see https://help.ubuntu.com/community/UFW | An alternative to ufw is the 'iptables' command - See https://help.ubuntu.com/community/IptablesHowTo | GUI frontends such as Gufw (GNOME) and Guarddog (KDE from Lucid onwards) also exist. | 02:01 |
userZ | ok probably upgrade | 02:01 |
dopie | usr13, Dr_willis, bodom thank you | 02:01 |
usr13 | roddy: adduser But, what exactly do you want to do with this "server"? | 02:01 |
Dr_willis | userZ, may be better to do a clean reinstall oif a newer release.. I dont see why theres a 'cd' limit for you.. system cant boot from USB? | 02:02 |
bodom | dopie: yw | 02:02 |
dopie | Bodom how do change the group of it to match your users group | 02:02 |

Chiko | ubottu: thanks but i'm still confused on the matter of iptables i applied a block "iptables -A INPUT -s {ip} -j DROP" yet if i reboot this information is gone must i use ufw to add the rule instead? | 02:03 |

userZ | drwillis, unetbootin should install newer versions properly on usb? | 02:03 |
jrib | Chiko: read the link ubottu gave you. There are several options there if you want iptables rules to be set automatically | 02:03 |
userZ | cuz sometimes it hangs and doesnt | 02:03 |
jrib | Chiko: if you don't want to use ufw, read the iptables link | 02:03 |
Dr_willis | userZ, no idea. i rarely use unetbootin. I tend to use 'dd' to image the iso files to usb or the tools from the pendrivelinux web site | 02:03 |
usr13 | Chiko: You need to create a "firewall" script. | 02:04 |
Dr_willis | userZ, you may need a newer unetbootin for newer releases | 02:04 |
bodom | dopie: and maybe sudo chmod g+rwx /opt too | 02:04 |
roddy | usr13, or can i use something else | 02:04 |
userZ | drwillis, that's why I was asking how to upgrade unetbootin earlier | 02:04 |
usr13 | roddy: Yep | 02:04 |
userZ | got the sourceforge exe file, but don't know what to do with it in linux | 02:04 |
dopie | trying the first one first | 02:05 |
Dr_willis | userZ, .exe ? that would be a windows file.. | 02:05 |
Dr_willis | userZ, or just learn to use dd | 02:05 |
userZ | I looked at dd, not for me | 02:05 |
Dr_willis | its rather trivial once you learn the basics.. | 02:05 |
Dr_willis | input , output. block side option for speed... | 02:05 |

Sach | usr13: can that be dne for an entire pdf document or page by page only? | 02:35 |
usr13 | Sach: What I do is just set simplescan to scan the proper size and just use it. | 02:35 |
usr13 | Sach: You'll have to do it page by page and then re-combine them | 02:36 |

usr13 | Sach: Sounds to me like a mistake was made when creating the pdf files too large in the first place. | 02:37 |
Dr_willis | the pdf FILE is to large? or is the pdf output too large? | 02:38 |
bodom | kasii: that's what the text you pasted to us says | 02:38 |
Sach | Dr_willis: the pdf file size is too large. | 02:38 |
usr13 | Sach: It's easier to do things right the first time. | 02:38 |
Dr_willis | how big is the pdf file? if its loads and loads of text.. it may not be a good idea to do the jpg stuff with it | 02:38 |
kasii | bodom, j get this error The sda2 (Ubuntu 13.04) partition is still full. This can prevent to start it (e.g. you may get a Power Manager error). | 02:39 |
Sach | Dr_willis: yes, lots of text. | 02:39 |

usr13 | Sach: You did not tell me how the file was created. I can only tell you what needs to be done. I can not figure out how it got messed up. | 02:41 |

samgabbay | i plugged in my ipod and then it says that the metadata was missing or corrupted asking me to name my ipod so i did and then it dissapears from the rythmbox device list | 02:42 |

kasii | samgabbay, yes i have a probllem | 02:46 |
usr13 | Sach: You went through some method to convert the document to a PDF file, you did not tell us what that method was. If the PDF is wrong size or too large, I can only speculate that an improper method was used. If you give us additional information, we can give you better, more specific advise. | 02:46 |

bodom | Guys, what's the default file manager in the ubuntu 13.04 live CD? | 02:52 |
usr13 | nautilus | 02:52 |
mackdieselx27 | Nautilus | 02:53 |
dashdotdam0 | 12.04 lts doesnt come with newer gnome 3 does it? | 02:53 |
mackdieselx27 | 12.04 comes with Unity | 02:53 |
bodom | kasii: it should | 02:53 |
bodom | kasii: sudo nautilus | 02:53 |
bodom | usr13, mackdieselx27: ty | 02:54 |
mackdieselx27 | np bodom | 02:54 |
Dr_willis | unity is a shell for gnome3 | 02:54 |
surfdaemon | bodom: don't you mean gksudo? | 02:54 |
kasii | bodom, see my dialog msg of sudo nautilius | 02:55 |
Dr_willis | the latest gnome3 is 3.8 i belive. and i think you must have 13.04 to use gnome 3.8 unless theres been some new ppas out for older releases | 02:55 |
Dr_willis | use gksudo nautilus if you really HAVE to run nautilus as root.. not 'sudo' | 02:55 |
bodom | surfdaemon: it's the same | 02:56 |
bodom | kasii: ok, go with gksudo | 02:56 |
bodom | kasii: gksudo nautilus | 02:56 |
Dr_willis | gksudo and sudo are not the same | 02:56 |
surfdaemon | It was probably Dr_willis that put me on the right track with that one. | 02:56 |
mackdieselx27 | gksudo prevents files in your home from becoming owned by root | 02:57 |
Dr_willis | i see a lot of people in here with issues of root permissions on home files. when using sudo improperly | 02:57 |
Dr_willis | if i must run a file manager as root.. i tend to use 'mc' in a terminal.. that way i dont accidnetly leave a rootrunning nautilus open | 02:58 |
dem0n | how is everyone doing?... | 02:58 |
kasii | bodom, still You do not have the permissions necessary to view the contents of “kasii”. | 02:58 |

Dr_willis | [[thufir]], the browser extension was doing it when you started the browser? | 04:02 |
chadmandoo | Dr_willis: well basically I want it to run x11vnc service, which is just one command, and also I want it to start my svn daemon | 04:03 |
chadmandoo | also one command | 04:03 |
[[thufir]] | it was being handled by the plugins and curl, but when they were removed firefox picked it up (I think). | 04:03 |
arcripex | Dr_willis stil same ERRORS | 04:03 |
Dr_willis | chadmandoo, 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 boot | 04:03 |
Dr_willis | chadmandoo, you can spawn a seperate vnc session thats hidden, and is NOT showing the current desktop by using a differnt vncserver other then x11vnc | 04:04 |
chadmandoo | Dr_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't | 04:05 |
Dr_willis | http://seb.so/vnc-from-boot-without-logging-in-ubuntu-lubuntu-xubuntu-and-mint-lmde/ | 04:05 |
Dr_willis | chadmandoo, i just ssh in and start a 'vncserver' like vnc4server or xtightvnc. | 04:05 |
Dr_willis | i dont want to share the current desktop normally - I just want a remote desktop | 04:05 |
Dr_willis | i also dont do vnc over the intenet.. just the local lan | 04:05 |
arcripex | Dr_willis even SKYPE does nt install but before upgrade from Ubuntu 12.04 LTS everythin was workin fine | 04:06 |
chadmandoo | Dr_willis i also do not do VNC outside of the local LAN, and using my mikrotik router to act as a VPN | 04:06 |
Dr_willis | chadmandoo, well that url i posted seems decent for x11vnc and lightdm. but its a little old. no idea if all the info still applies | 04:07 |
chadmandoo | Dr_willis i may look into another solution like you suggested | 04:08 |
Dr_willis | i 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. ;0 | 04:08 |
Dr_willis | i dont want to see wht they are doing 'locally' | 04:08 |
chadmandoo | I love using teamviewer but doesn't seem stable on Ubuntu, or atleast on my machine | 04:09 |
akurilin | Are 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_willis | i imagine most people are NOT using checkinstall ;) | 04:10 |
Dr_willis | people that actually compile these days - are getting fewer and fewer. | 04:11 |
akurilin | I 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_willis | if 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_willis | ive no idea how stable it is. there might be some people in the ubuntu developent channel that may know. | 04:13 |
chadmandoo | Dr_willis do you know much about subversion | 04:13 |
Dr_willis | but they also most likely know enough to not need it. | 04:13 |
Dr_willis | I rarely need to compile stuff these days chadmandoo .. so i dont do svn, or git, or that other stuff much. | 04:13 |
akurilin | To 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 |
akurilin | Dr_willis, in any case, appreciate the advice! :) | 04:15 |

giraffe | looks like dhcp configs were misplaced by design, who needs standards anyway | 04:38 |
ninjabox__ | so it would work on ethernet but not on wireless? | 04:39 |
aeon-ltd | no it does the same, increase potential bandwidth | 04:39 |
ninjabox__ | basicly it's not worth the trouble doing it? | 04:39 |
aeon-ltd | so you could do 2 x 1gbps up and down instead of 1gbps full duplex | 04:40 |
ninjabox__ | i see what your saying now. | 04:40 |
aeon-ltd | no, plus power usage if this is a laptop | 04:40 |
ninjabox__ | i could increase the bandwith by splitting the jobs like using 2 video cards and having one specificly for physics | 04:41 |
aeon-ltd | now if you could use 2 different networks, that could be interesting | 04:41 |
ninjabox__ | well i do have that option | 04:41 |
ninjabox__ | would it be possible that way? | 04:42 |
aeon-ltd | i'm not sure | 04:42 |

ninjabox__ | lol | 04:42 |
ninjabox__ | i can not understand a word you are saying execpt /join #ubuntu-ko....which is korean ubuntu | 04:42 |
ninjabox__ | ... | 04:42 |
Dr_willis | lets hope irider understands it.. | 04:43 |
irider | hm.. | 04:43 |
Dr_willis | ;) | 04:43 |
irider | Ok | 04:43 |
ninjabox__ | i apologize before i do anything stupid, im drinking and my moms in the hospital. So my minds alittle bit off atm. | 04:44 |
ninjabox__ | do you know of any forums that pertain to my question aeon? | 04:44 |
giraffe | This does not work: http://maas.ubuntu.com/docs/install.html | 04:44 |
ninjabox__ | btw what does the "ltd" after your name mean? | 04:45 |
IT_n3Rd | hello | 04:46 |
aeon-ltd | ninjabox__: i've never tried or searched if anyone else has used 2 networks at the same time, i doubt there is software that can divide and prioritize which packets go where | 04:46 |
IT_n3Rd | i had one few years ago in my apartment in france | 04:46 |
aeon-ltd | ninjabox__: there is no importance to the 'ltd' in my nick | 04:47 |
aeon-ltd | IT_n3Rd: you used 2 networks on one pc? | 04:47 |
IT_n3Rd | is there a way to hack into your home network using backbox | 04:47 |
IT_n3Rd | yes | 04:47 |
YellowJacket | I manually setup a LUKS-LVM partition for my root partition, and was able to install it via ubiquity, but I can't get it to boot. I was following the instructions here: https://help.ubuntu.com/community/EncryptedFilesystemsViaUbiquity | 04:48 |
ninjabox__ | aeon-ltd: just wondering, and if you have a few minutes i have another question. Why is it that ubuntu can only handle one wireless driver at a time? | 04:48 |
aeon-ltd | IT_n3Rd: did it utilize both connections or did it just use the faster one? | 04:48 |
aeon-ltd | ninjabox__: no idea | 04:49 |
Dr_willis | wow.. big differance tween steam on windows and steam on linux.. On windows there was 8914.84mb of 'redistrobutable packages' in the steam game dirs i was able to clean out.. redundant copies of directx installers and .net installers and vcredist_x86.exe stuff... egads.. | 04:49 |
IT_n3Rd | it utilised both connections there weren't any dropouts but was able to get maximum throughput downloading alot of stuff simultanously | 04:49 |
ninjabox__ | Dr_willis: i hate steam. to much BS to deal with. | 04:50 |
IT_n3Rd | yee i agree | 04:50 |
IT_n3Rd | too much shit to give out | 04:50 |
IT_n3Rd | xbox is easier | 04:50 |
Dr_willis | given all the bs i see in buying games normally.. i will stick to steam | 04:50 |
Dr_willis | Havent even fired up my Wii in months.. | 04:50 |
aeon-ltd | IT_n3Rd: sweet, but i'm guessing you couldn't 'spread' a request like load elements from a webpage from both connections right? | 04:51 |
ninjabox__ | true enough, but with steam you have to constantly have it running and sucking up precious system recources. i would rather just buy the game and play it without steam. | 04:51 |
IT_n3Rd | console games are cooler to play on a big screen | 04:51 |
Dr_willis | we will have to see what happens with that steambox.. if it ever gets here. | 04:51 |
IT_n3Rd | i doubt it | 04:51 |
Dr_willis | precious resources? ;) need them in reserve for the flash banner ads.. | 04:51 |
ninjabox__ | lol | 04:51 |
ninjabox__ | well, the resources thing is because i use a windows comp to play my games | 04:52 |
ninjabox__ | linux is for different uses | 04:52 |
YellowJacket | For a new install of Ubuntu 13.04, I manually setup a LUKS-LVM partition for the root folder. I was able to get ubiquity to install to the LUKS-LVM, but I can't get it to boot. I was following the instructions here: https://help.ubuntu.com/community/EncryptedFilesystemsViaUbiquity but I am getting errors when I run update-initramfs | 04:52 |
gordonjcp | ninjabox__: how much "precious resources" does Steam suck up? | 04:52 |
Dr_willis | if steam is sucking down your resources and lagging your games on windows.. i think you may have deeper issues. ;) but | 04:52 |
Dr_willis | thats a bit OT for here. | 04:52 |
gordonjcp | ninjabox__: looking at it here, it seems to be using as much as a couple of hundred K | 04:53 |
ninjabox__ | gordonjcp: to much for me to use it :D, to be honest im not sure but windows has alot of crap running in the background already so why stack it with steam? | 04:53 |
gordonjcp | ninjabox__: no wonder my machine is so laggy | 04:53 |
gordonjcp | yeah, I've only got about 3.8GB free | 04:53 |
ninjabox__ | on your hard drive? | 04:54 |
ninjabox__ | o.O | 04:54 |
gordonjcp | no, RAM | 04:54 |
ninjabox__ | lol, how much ram do you have? | 04:54 |
gordonjcp | ninjabox__: 8GB | 04:54 |
ninjabox__ | can your mother board support more? | 04:54 |
gordonjcp | must be that couple of hundred KB that Steam is using, then eh | 04:55 |
gordonjcp | ninjabox__: probably, but my wallet can't | 04:55 |
ninjabox__ | lol | 04:55 |
Dr_willis | hmm.. i play games on steam while i am reencoding videos in the background with handbreak.. 8gb-o-ram here | 04:55 |
ninjabox__ | try this site, www.directron.com | 04:55 |
gordonjcp | ninjabox__: what's that site? | 04:55 |
ninjabox__ | they have good prices, i got 16GB of RAM for $110 i think | 04:55 |
c2tarun | gordonjcp, at my machine I have 151MBs free and my machine is pretty responsive. | 04:56 |
c2tarun | and i have banshee, xchat, terminal, firefox, chrome, nautilus all are opened | 04:56 |
ninjabox__ | Dr_willis: WHILE? must have a good cpu and video cards? | 04:56 |
Dr_willis | ninjabox__, not really.. its close to a 2 yr old machine now.. | 04:56 |
gordonjcp | ninjabox__: probably nothing particularly astonishing | 04:56 |
Dr_willis | I did use 'gamebooster' to tweak a few games. lowered the res and a few other gfx tweaks. | 04:57 |
Dr_willis | but not much else.. | 04:57 |
gordonjcp | I can quite happily play HL2 in wine on this Core 2 Duo, with a big compile running in the background | 04:57 |
gordonjcp | that said HL2 is probably only using one core | 04:57 |
ninjabox__ | well see my GPU's on my windows machine are about 6 years old | 04:57 |
ninjabox__ | which is why i stay away from graphic intensive games | 04:57 |
Dr_willis | !info freeciv | 04:58 |
ubottu | Package freeciv does not exist in raring | 04:58 |
Dr_willis | Doh! ;) i wonde what its called. | 04:58 |
ninjabox__ | :D | 04:58 |
ninjabox__ | nvidia geforce 9600 i think | 04:58 |
ninjabox__ | or 9500 | 04:58 |
Dr_willis | wesnoth got me to annoyed.. | 04:58 |

ninjabox__ | im just waiting to upgrade, dunno what i can get yet havent checked the specks on my power supply to see what kinda room i have | 04:59 |
aeon-ltd | haswell soon.... | 04:59 |
wallzero | Hello, what is the command to list the encryption supported by my kernel? | 04:59 |
ninjabox__ | ask the terminal nicely :D | 05:00 |
ninjabox__ | j/k, i dunno | 05:00 |
gordonjcp | most encryption is userland | 05:00 |
gordonjcp | wallzero: what exactly are you trying to do? | 05:00 |
Dr_willis | bbl | 05:01 |
ninjabox__ | Dr_willis: you know if i can set up SU for certain programs on my user account? | 05:01 |
wallzero | gordonjcp: Basically I want to see what encryption I can use with LUKS with the default kernel | 05:01 |
=== spark_ is now known as GothSpark | ||
wallzero | gordonjcp: It is userland but I need to know what encryption is possible on boot | 05:03 |
gordonjcp | wallzero: you could try something like "cryptsetup --help" and go from there | 05:03 |
gordonjcp | wallzero: I don't use disk encryption, and am never likely to | 05:03 |
YellowJacket | For a new install of Ubuntu 13.04, I manually setup a LUKS-LVM partition for the root folder. I was able to get ubiquity to install to the LUKS-LVM, but I can't get it to boot. I was following the instructions here: https://help.ubuntu.com/community/EncryptedFilesystemsViaUbiquity but I am getting errors when I run update-initramfs | 05:03 |
gordonjcp | so I can't really be much help there | 05:03 |
ninjabox__ | does anyone know if i can make myself a super user for certain commands like "ifconfig" or "iwconfig"? | 05:03 |
gordonjcp | ninjabox__: sudo | 05:04 |
wallzero | gordonjcp: I used to know it. I am trying to find it again. | 05:04 |
ninjabox__ | gordonjcp: without using sudo. so all i have to do is type the command. | 05:04 |
gordonjcp | ninjabox__: you can have quite fine-grained control over who runs what command with what permissions | 05:04 |
GothSpark | hi every one i got an issue with my cg upon reboot from hibernation , it gives me a random backout output faillure how do i fix it ? | 05:04 |
ninjabox__ | GorthSpark: disable hibernation? | 05:05 |
gordonjcp | wallzero: I don't need anything to make my disks slower and less reliable | 05:05 |
wallzero | gordonjcp: I have never noticed a speed difference. I don't use a SSD though. | 05:07 |
gordonjcp | wallzero: it's cripplingly slow | 05:07 |
GothSpark | ninjabox__ i need hibernation .... so i do not loose my work because of my old battery | 05:08 |
ninjabox__ | really? encryption on an SSD is "cripplingly slow"? | 05:08 |
shady_ | having problem with my internal mic ubuntu 13.04 on dell inspiron | 05:08 |
gordonjcp | wallzero: also if anything happens to the disk, your data is gone | 05:08 |
ninjabox__ | GothSpark: Save your work, then log out? I was in the military, that's what i did. | 05:08 |
gordonjcp | ninjabox__: encryption on spinning rust is cripplingly slow | 05:09 |
ninjabox__ | shady_: did you check the drivers? | 05:09 |
ninjabox__ | lol | 05:09 |
ninjabox__ | spinning rust is nice...reminds me of my brakes :D | 05:09 |
gordonjcp | ninjabox__: I *did* try disk encryption just because the option was there, but it made my machine unusable | 05:09 |
ninjabox__ | eww | 05:09 |
shady_ | actually i upgrade from 11.10 but i dont know how to check the drivers | 05:09 |
ninjabox__ | time to replace the "rust" eh? | 05:09 |
gordonjcp | I do a lot of audio work, so I'm slinging a lot of data on and off the disk | 05:10 |
gordonjcp | and I don't really see the point in disk encryption anyway | 05:10 |
ninjabox__ | shady_: check in your system settings for proprietary drivers and see if your issue is there | 05:10 |
ninjabox__ | well if you have a good enough password on your account and your system is secure then there is no reason for it | 05:11 |
ninjabox__ | but if you work for a company that requires it and your working from home then your are SOL | 05:11 |
=== williangliao is now known as ubunafsdfas | ||
gordonjcp | ninjabox__: <shrug> | 05:11 |
gordonjcp | ninjabox__: I don't much care if anyone "requires" it, I won't use it | 05:12 |
=== ubunafsdfas is now known as chenqsui | ||
gordonjcp | "ZOMG YOU MUST USE DISK ENCRYPTION" oh okay, so you're going to pay me to sit and look at a non-functioning computer then? | 05:12 |
ninjabox__ | yeah, but im just saying i can understand his issue | 05:12 |
=== chenqsui is now known as williangliao | ||
shady_ | i dont have this option in the sys sittings | 05:12 |
wallzero | gordonjcp: Encryption shouldn't make a noticeable difference with read/write speed - unless your system is often running at capacity. | 05:13 |
ninjabox__ | my computer would be useless if i used encryption | 05:13 |
gordonjcp | wallzero: it is hopeless for audio work | 05:13 |
ninjabox__ | shady_: there is no proprietary drivers option in system settings? | 05:13 |
gordonjcp | wallzero: even four tracks of audio kept stuttering and complaining about slow disks | 05:13 |
shady_ | yes | 05:13 |
=== sudokode is now known as su | ||

ninjabox__ | wallzero: what? | 05:36 |
wallzero | ninjabox__: That will show the supported encryption either in the kernel or "userland" | 05:37 |
Neozonz | Braiam, libcurl3 is installed | 05:37 |

ichthys | Hello 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' file | 05:45 |
Braiam | ichthys, because the NM is managing the connection, check that | 05:46 |
gordonjcp | Neozonz: it would be interesting to see what the developer is developing on | 05:46 |
ninjabox__ | i hate you braiam, i was about to say the same thing | 05:46 |
Braiam | ninjabox__, is natural... | 05:47 |
ichthys | what is NM : / | 05:47 |
gordonjcp | Neozonz: it looks like they're using ridiculously old versions of gnu autotools | 05:47 |
Braiam | NetworkManager | 05:47 |
Neozonz | well the project hasn't been updated since 2 years ago | 05:47 |
Braiam | Neozonz, fork it and develop on your own then ;) | 05:48 |
ninjabox__ | easier said | 05:48 |
Neozonz | if i had tose talents | 05:48 |
ninjabox__ | @ braiam | 05:48 |
Neozonz | im sure i would have had this thing compiled by now | 05:48 |
Neozonz | lol | 05:48 |
ichthys | is there an easy way to check if NM is the culprit. I have a bare bones ubuntu 12.04 server install. with no GUI | 05:49 |
Braiam | never late to learn Neozonz | 05:49 |
ichthys | i dont see a /etc/networkmanager directory | 05:49 |
ninjabox__ | no gui on 12.04? | 05:50 |
ltsampros | i'm being driven mad by nvidia package installation | 05:50 |
ninjabox__ | thats a bit odd since i installed it a few weeks ago and i have a gui. | 05:50 |
ichthys | i intentionally installed mine without a GUI | 05:50 |
Braiam | ltsampros, don't install them if you don't need em | 05:50 |
ltsampros | installing any kinf of official nvidia package fails in dkms phase with "unable to determine the target kernel version" | 05:50 |
ninjabox__ | Itsampros: have you tried just using the drivers in additional drivers? | 05:51 |
Braiam | ninjabox__, server version came without gui by default | 05:51 |
Braiam | comes* | 05:51 |
ltsampros | ninjabox__: I have no X running just the command line. | 05:51 |
ninjabox__ | didnt see the server part | 05:51 |
ninjabox__ | im a bit drunk atm so bare with me | 05:51 |
ltsampros | ninjabox__: and yes i'm using the nvidia-current-updates from the raring repositories | 05:52 |
ninjabox__ | Itsampros: i dont know command line to well with linux, but i can google you an answer if you want? | 05:52 |
ltsampros | sorry quantal/restricted | 05:52 |
ltsampros | well good luck | 05:52 |
ninjabox__ | i take it you tried? | 05:52 |
Braiam | ltsampros, then, the problem is? | 05:52 |
ltsampros | dkms phase is failing with "unable to determine the current kernel version" | 05:52 |
Braiam | where it appears? | 05:53 |
ltsampros | so when you do apt-get install nvidia-current (e.g.) the kernel modile fails to build | 05:53 |
ninjabox__ | Itsampros: can you specify a version to get? | 05:53 |
ltsampros | in /var/lib/dkms/nvidia-current/$VERSION/build/make/log | 05:53 |
Braiam | and the fundamental question, why do you need it? | 05:53 |
ltsampros | broken laptop no monitor, nouveau does not recognize the card and the intel card uses the broken monitor by default | 05:54 |
ltsampros | but anyway why do you care why I need nvidia drivers? | 05:54 |
ltsampros | the packages provided in restricted should have been working out of the box | 05:54 |
Braiam | ltsampros, have you restarted yet? | 05:54 |
ltsampros | of course yes, but it's unneeded | 05:55 |
Braiam | uninstalled noveau ones? | 05:55 |
ltsampros | THE KERNEL MODULE DOES NOT GET BUILD | 05:55 |
Braiam | ok, let's see, what's the package? | 05:55 |

ltsampros | nvidia-current | 05:55 |
ninjabox__ | Itsampros: theres no need to get mad, we are trying to help you | 05:55 |
ltsampros | i know. but I told like 5 times what the problem is | 05:55 |
atum | h | 05:55 |
lars | hi there, Ninja | 05:55 |
ninjabox__ | Itsampros: doesnt matter, if you come in here asking for help you should be grateful that someone is trying | 05:56 |
ichthys | Braiam, is there anything else besides 'NM' to check to add my internal DNS server? i dont see a '/etc/networkmanager' or //etc/init.d/networkmanager' | 05:56 |
ninjabox__ | lars: sup | 05:56 |
ltsampros | installing nvidia-current of nvidia-current-updates or nvidia-experiemental-310, FAILS during DKMS phase with "unable to determine the target kernel version" | 05:56 |
lars | could I ask a question for the experts? | 05:56 |
lars | What is Vuze? | 05:56 |
ninjabox__ | lars: i think that is a torrent downloading program? | 05:56 |
atum | bt client | 05:57 |
lars | I found it in my Home Directory | 05:57 |
Braiam | ltsampros, have you tried apt-get build-depends nvidia-current? | 05:57 |
ltsampros | yes and it says that everything is there | 05:57 |
lars | that would make sense, and it seems to be connected to Azureus somehow | 05:57 |
ninjabox__ | lars: well it is Azureus Vuze. | 05:58 |
lars | When I printed a textfile in the Vuze directory it also said sth about Java | 05:58 |
lars | is Vuze related to Java somehow? | 05:58 |
atum | i think it's written in java | 05:58 |
lars | Oh, can I just delete the whole Vuze folder? | 05:59 |
ninjabox__ | lars: i agree with atum | 05:59 |
atum | probably | 05:59 |
atum | do 30 backups to be sure ;) | 05:59 |
ninjabox__ | lol | 05:59 |
ninjabox__ | need another beer this is confusing.... | 05:59 |
lars | I'm about to copy my whole Home directory, and install Kubuntu 12.04 | 05:59 |
Braiam | ichthys, shouldn't be... | 06:00 |
lars | But I guess I can leave Vuze in the backup | 06:00 |
atum | yep, if u dont want it, dont copy it | 06:01 |
lars | Then make a backup of the backup, and delete the Vuze folder and any other extraneous material in the second backup | 06:01 |
Braiam | Neozonz, pull from this guy instead https://github.com/igetgames/pushpool | 06:01 |
atum | i usually just backup the main folders, anything else usually new versions to update to | 06:01 |
Neozonz | Braiam, i created that single file | 06:02 |
atum | dat grammar | 06:02 |

Braiam | Neozonz, with the same content? | 06:03 |
lars | it's really good | 06:03 |
ninjabox__ | chess is fun, it's amazing how many people dont know how to play it | 06:03 |
Neozonz | Braiam, yes | 06:03 |
lars | I've been playing Yahoo chess for a long time | 06:03 |
Braiam | Neozonz, do a git reset | 06:04 |
lars | I also have a Russian chess set at home: it's really nice | 06:04 |
ninjabox__ | i dont play online chess, i play the comp for fun | 06:04 |
Braiam | and try again | 06:04 |
Chiko | ah quick q how do i determine linux kernel version? | 06:04 |
Braiam | Neozonz, anything else just break your way trough | 06:04 |
Neozonz | checking for version... ./configure: line 4844: -c: command not found | 06:05 |
Neozonz | checking for platform... ./configure: line 4863: -c: command not found | 06:05 |
Braiam | you messed configure, do a git reset to return everything to 0 | 06:05 |
Braiam | or delete the entire thing and pull from the other guy that fixed the problem | 06:06 |

cebor | i have a laptop with external display, but when i close the lid, also my external monitor gets deactivated, im on 13.04. has somebody a solution for that ? | 06:22 |

gordonjcp | not sure why that would be a problem, but still, you can turn it off | 06:46 |
gordonjcp | not sure why it would be "NSFW" either | 06:46 |
Aww | ill screen shot it | 06:46 |

Dr_willis | 10-gen? some unoffical ppa/repo? | 07:24 |
kutchbhi | 10gen are the guys that maintain mongo | 07:25 |
Dr_willis | might want to see if the version in the ubuntu repos has the same issue.. if it works.. that would point to the 10-gen guys not having somting in their upstart scripts correct | 07:26 |

unstable | The only annoying thing now is, on a dist-upgrade.. it thinks there is a new version. So it will break if I do normal security updates/patches etc through ubuntu software center. | 08:34 |
ktross | could anyone help me disable mouse acceleration and change the speed independently of eachother in Ubuntu 13.04? my first problem is that my mouse is showing up twice so I'm not sure which one to change http://pastebin.com/uaJaSwm7 | 08:34 |
lotuspsychje | unstable: working :p and nice1 | 08:35 |
unstable | lotuspsychje: sudo apt-mark hold electricsheep | 08:36 |
lotuspsychje | unstable: whats that for | 08:36 |
unstable | lotuspsychje: Then you can do sudo apt-get update && sudo apt-get dist-upgrade; and it won't update electric sheep. | 08:36 |
lotuspsychje | oh ok | 08:37 |
unstable | lotuspsychje: Since if we upgrade electricsheep it will break again. | 08:37 |
unstable | Until it's version electricsheep_2.7~b12+svn20091224-1ubuntu5_amd64.deb | 08:37 |
lotuspsychje | unstable: so can it be used as screensaver? | 08:37 |
unstable | lotuspsychje: yea, you can integrate it with xscreen saver. | 08:37 |
unstable | I just turn it on and full screen it to stare at it when I'm high. | 08:37 |
lotuspsychje | lol | 08:38 |
lotuspsychje | unstable: lemme get xscreensaver :p | 08:38 |

Darkchaos | Hey Guys. How would you create a Linux USB-Stick? My first try was UNetBootIn however It was a Live-Version. | 09:20 |
l9 | techtronic: i have now real answer for ya, but it could look like they have changed the logger | 09:21 |
cullz | I'm wondering if I can use ubuntu laptop as monitor for android phone. | 09:21 |
Darkchaos | Now somebody hinted me, using VmWare and install it to the USB-Stick. However I fail at grub-install as for there is a "Error" which it doesn't say. It may be the wrong device? | 09:21 |
lotuspsychje | Darkchaos: you mean you want a mobile ubuntu on an usb? | 09:22 |
Darkchaos | yes, well it's not exactly a ubuntu, but indeed. | 09:22 |
Darkchaos | Wow, LILO works, GRUB doesn't | 09:22 |
lotuspsychje | Darkchaos: well we can only discuss ubuntu on usb here | 09:23 |
cullz | Darkchaos: puppy linux or damn small linux can auto install onto USB | 09:23 |
Darkchaos | Yeah but if it's a ubuntu based distro, does that make a change? | 09:23 |
lotuspsychje | Darkchaos: https://wiki.ubuntu.com/LiveUsbPendrivePersistent maybe this can help you | 09:24 |
Darkchaos | Ok I'll check, thanks | 09:24 |
cullz | Darkchaos: I did it with ubuntu, can't remember exactly but just used a program and the .ISO | 09:25 |
cullz | use ubuntu laptop as external monitor for android via USB, anyone? | 09:28 |
lotuspsychje | cullz: i dont think you can show a screen through usb | 09:29 |
lotuspsychje | cullz: got hdmi on your android and ubuntu laptop? | 09:30 |
changchangchangg | lotuspsychje: hmm | 09:30 |
lotuspsychje | changchangchangg: im not sure though :p | 09:30 |
cullz | hmm, no hdmi on android but I think micro-USB to hdmi exists? not sure | 09:31 |
lotuspsychje | cullz: maybe #android or ##hardware can help aswell? | 09:32 |
cullz | lotuspsychje: thanks | 09:33 |
l9 | techtronic: might be a file right issue | 09:33 |
lotuspsychje | cullz: how about vnc from one to the other device? | 09:36 |
Dr_willis | Hmm. | 09:36 |
Dr_willis | My android phone has a usb->hdmi adaptor cable. | 09:37 |
Dr_willis | the phone has to support the kind of connection. the mini usb port on the phones are special. at least on the S3 they are. | 09:38 |
zero4kevin | hi | 09:38 |
Dr_willis | moo | 09:39 |
lotuspsychje | Dr_willis: and what happens if you connect it to laptop hdmi port? | 09:39 |
Dr_willis | err.. hdmi on a laptop would not be a video IN connection | 09:39 |
Dr_willis | I 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 |
Dr_willis | If you had a pc with xbmc. you could setup a dlna server on the phone also.. | 09:40 |
lotuspsychje | true | 09:40 |
Dr_willis | my raspberry pi+xbmc can play from my phone. | 09:41 |
Dr_willis | actually i can tell the phone to 'play this video on the pi' | 09:41 |
changchangchangg | zero4kevin: hey guys | 09:41 |
llutz | but still they won't use a laptop/PC as phone-display . just play media | 09:41 |
lotuspsychje | cullz: http://joshua14.homelinux.org/blog/?p=1480 | 09:41 |
houdy | Network settings can be restored to initialize it? | 09:41 |
Dr_willis | if you want to SEE the phones display in real time (like via vnc) theres tools to do that to a pc over the network. BUT last i looked you had to have a rooted phone | 09:42 |
=== KPXX_ is now known as KPXX | ||
Dr_willis | airdroid for android lets you contoll the phone a great deal without needing root. but im not sure it has a display the screen.. feature | 09:42 |
Chiko | anyone familiar with setting up haproxy as a "service"? | 09:43 |
lotuspsychje | it also depends on what cullz wants, remote his ubuntu or just slave his laptop screen on the android | 09:44 |
l9 | best way too controll a ubuntu media server is too use xbmc remote from the phone... quick easy and awsome | 09:45 |
l9 | and you could call your remote :P | 09:45 |
l9 | and for the underlying stuff use a ssh shell | 09:47 |
lotuspsychje | l9: good ol ssh can enter everywhere :p | 09:47 |
Dr_willis | there is a neat android app called 'ubuntu remote' it uses ssh to controll a lot of things. | 09:47 |
Dr_willis | it can even do screenshots over ssh and upload them to the phone | 09:48 |
lotuspsychje | Dr_willis: sounds nice | 09:48 |
=== raju-away is now known as raju | ||
l9 | the things I dicovered with using andriod to control a ubuntu desktop is that most apps are sluggish and gives off a bad feeling :/ | 09:49 |
Dr_willis | depeds on what you are doing i guess. | 09:49 |
Dr_willis | the xbmc remotes and stuff all seem quick to me | 09:50 |
lotuspsychje | any release date yet for official ubuntu touch devices? | 09:50 |
l9 | Dr_willis: offcourse :) i was thinking more virtual desktop control over ssh | 09:51 |
Dr_willis | i cant find that app that put the phone in a window ... i used it on my older phone. | 09:51 |
Dr_willis | it let you do everthing with the mouse.. | 09:52 |
l9 | Dr_willis: while we are on this topic is there away too control the phone from ubuntu... that actually lets you have all sms mms mail and the other social stuff on your desktop? | 09:53 |
robottinosino | hi i am using gnome-session-fallback and miss the ability to F2 -invoke a launcher dialog box from which i can execute binaries directly by their name.. | 09:54 |
l9 | that would actually be kind of awsome... i am so sick of having too find my phone just too type ok. and send a stupid text | 09:54 |
lotuspsychje | l9: http://www.ubuntu.com/phone/design :p | 09:55 |
Dr_willis | airdroid can make the phone dial and send sms.. i think theres other apps for that also | 09:56 |
Dr_willis | I would check out what Airdroid can do.. I dont use 1/2 its features | 09:56 |
Dr_willis | THEN if your phone is rooted.. that opens up a lot of other apps.. and lets you basically have a vnc session on the phone you see on your pc. | 09:57 |
lotuspsychje | lets take this to ot, its interesting | 09:57 |

Sarger001 | Don't know if this is the right place but i plan on dual booting XP with Ubuntu, but the thing is, i'm installing using Ubuntu first. I haven't got XP on the computer. Can i somehow install xp to a seperate partition and then install grub4dos? | 10:16 |
Sarger001 | I'm thinking i can but not quite sure | 10:17 |
vinu | i have one partition in which i have ubuntu installed and also contain my data, but now that partition became unallocated automatically.now i am not able to boot my system its showing grub failure.please help me to recover the data | 10:17 |
[FreeBSD] | Sarger001: just redo the bootloader with the xp cd | 10:17 |
[FreeBSD] | Sarger001: actually no, redo grub sorry | 10:17 |
raven_ | tightvncserver: desktop environment does not load on custom user. it stays grey - whats wrong there? | 10:17 |
[FreeBSD] | with the ubuntu cd | 10:17 |
Sarger001 | Hm OK | 10:17 |
Sarger001 | Will i have to do that manually? | 10:17 |
bekks | Sarger001: Yes. | 10:18 |
[FreeBSD] | if you install xp after ubuntu (on the same partition) windows will overwrite grub | 10:18 |
Sarger001 | OK can i insert my puppy disk after the install and then install grub4dos? | 10:18 |
[FreeBSD] | so youll have to redo grub again to overwrite windows one | 10:18 |
bekks | Sarger001: No. Forget grub4dos. You have to use grub. | 10:18 |
[FreeBSD] | idk what grub4dos is why do you need that | 10:18 |
Dr_willis | Sarger001, why would you be using grub4dos ? | 10:18 |
Sarger001 | It's easier to set up. | 10:18 |
bekks | Sarger001: grub is more easy. One command. | 10:19 |
Dr_willis | Ubuntu can reinstall the bootloader from a live cd and its supported here.. not grub4dos | 10:19 |
Sarger001 | Ah | 10:19 |
Sarger001 | if it helps i'm using 12.04 | 10:19 |
Dr_willis | OR you can use a live cd.. and backup the grub mbr via the boot-repair tool.. then reinstall it.. | 10:19 |
eldrichrebello | just use the LiveCD and reinstall grub | 10:19 |
Sarger001 | OK | 10:19 |
Dr_willis | or grab a boot-repair live cd. from the wiki page links.. | 10:20 |
Sarger001 | So i need to use gparted now and decrease size of ubuntu partition or do that while on puppy? I've got the puppy disk to do that with right by me and i've got ubuntu mounted | 10:20 |
Dr_willis | you do NOT resize a in use/mounted partition | 10:20 |
Sarger001 | OK so i do it from puppy? | 10:20 |
Sarger001 | puppy livecd | 10:21 |
Dr_willis | gparted can work from any live cd. | 10:21 |
bekks | Sarger001: Backup your system, then start gparted from a livecd. | 10:21 |
Dr_willis | of course if the UUID changes on the filesystem.. that can goof up grub and the system | 10:21 |
raven_ | tightvncserver: desktop environment does not load on custom user. it stays grey - whats wrong there? | 10:21 |
vinu | helllo please help | 10:21 |
Dr_willis | raven, did you edit the .vnc/xstartup to make it start a proper desktop? I suggest somthing very very light like openbox, or just the jwm window manager for testing | 10:22 |
chirag_d_gr8 | hi | 10:22 |
Sarger001 | OK I'm going to boot up puppy now, one question, can i mess up my whole PC by doing this or can i just reinstall ubuntu onto the whole hard drive? | 10:22 |
Sarger001 | if it doesnt work | 10:23 |
Dr_willis | You an always mess up the pc.. at any time. . by doing lots of things | 10:23 |
bekks | Sarger001: Yes, you can mess up whatever is on your harddisk. Thats why I told you to backup everything. | 10:23 |
chirag_d_gr8 | My system is heating up unnecessarily. How to switch to integrated graphics? | 10:23 |
Dr_willis | resizeing the hard drives... and the cat pulls the power plug = bad | 10:23 |
raven_ | Dr_willis, in my custom home directory is not .vnc... | 10:23 |
Sarger001 | OK and if it doesn't work my PC will never boot? | 10:23 |
Sarger001 | even if i install ubuntu to whole hard drive? | 10:23 |
Dr_willis | raven_, look again.. ever vncserver ive ever used makes a .vnc directory with the password and other log and config files in it | 10:24 |
Dr_willis | Sarger001, err.. if you reinstall the os.. it will boot that os.. its not like you have to have an os to boot the os.. to install the os... | 10:24 |

leocloud | hello,my os was interrupted when I update it to 13.04 | 10:55 |
leocloud | now how can i let it continue to update | 10:56 |
cfhowlett | leocloud, interrupted updates are wonky and untrustworthy. download the iso and install manually. | 10:56 |
Dr_willis | Yep.. goofed updated can be very goofy | 10:57 |
Dr_willis | and may not even be fixable in some cases.. Unless it was like stopped while it was downloading files.. befor it started doing any real work.. | 10:57 |
nazk | eldrichrebello: where i'll use this argument? | 10:58 |
leocloud | oh man ,how can i make my os go back to 12.04 | 10:58 |
Dr_willis | (or you got very lucky) | 10:58 |
eldrichrebello | nazk, when you start the installer | 10:58 |
cfhowlett | leocloud, torrent the 12.04 ISO and install | 10:58 |
Dr_willis | leocloud, depends on how badly damaged it is.. surest way is reinstall.. but you may as well use 13.04 | 10:58 |
Dr_willis | 'os was interrupted' =? dog pulled the power? installer crashed? PC exploded? | 10:59 |
eldrichrebello | @nazk see this https://help.ubuntu.com/community/BootOptions | 10:59 |

mchlbhm | So I'm on ubuntu 12.04 64 and updated a realtek driver for wireless. I no longer have sound. Any idea how to fix this? | 11:10 |
leocloud | where can I find the update file | 11:11 |
Dr_willis | mchlbhm, updated how? | 11:11 |
Dr_willis | leocloud, i dont think anyone in here has a clue what you are talking about | 11:12 |
mchlbhm | Dr_willis, I downloaded it from realtek, unzipped it, opened terminal, cd'd to package, ./ (..and I forget the rest...) | 11:13 |
bekks | mchlbhm: So whoch chipset exactly do you have? | 11:13 |
bekks | *which | 11:13 |
Dr_willis | i dont see how a wireless driver would affect your sound card.. try booting some of the older kernels from the grub menu as a test perhaps | 11:13 |
mchlbhm | bekks, I don't really know. r8168 | 11:14 |

eklz | (cause I would like to use "gnome open" | 11:22 |
Dr_willis | what needs libgnome2 ? not sure what 'gnome open' is | 11:23 |
cfhowlett | eklz, must be. It's installed on my ubuntustudio and I never asked for it | 11:23 |
eklz | "gnome open " it's to open a file with it's default program | 11:23 |
Dr_willis | isent that what xdg-open does? | 11:24 |
eklz | will check that :-) | 11:24 |

Arisawa | Dr_willis: any idea? | 11:52 |
seedo | hello, I have problems with ubuntu when it comes to recording sound | 11:52 |
seedo | The internal mic doesn't work | 11:52 |
seedo | Also, the brightness keys, Fn+arrows, also not working | 11:52 |
Dr_willis | Arisawa, live cd works? sounds to me like its not booting at all. and not showing anything. or some other weird bug. | 11:52 |
seedo | Any idea | 11:52 |
jost_ | irandefenceforce: could you elaborate on "doesn't work"? What happens? | 11:52 |
seedo | Only noise is recorded when we try to record something | 11:53 |
captianyipe | seedo: is your mic not working at all or is just VERY quiet? | 11:53 |
Arisawa | Dr_willis: Yea it's from a Live usb. I know it works I installed ubuntu on my laptop already | 11:53 |
seedo | My laptop is Acer Aspire 4736z | 11:53 |
irandefenceforce | jost_:Once you login in(provide the password for the choosen username) you are taken back to the same login screen.I hope that explains it. | 11:53 |

seedo | Its not a new issue. The mic and brightness issues have been longstanding | 11:54 |
seedo | Never fixed. | 11:54 |
jost_ | irandefenceforce: ok, could you please log in as the other user and try "ls -l ~newuser" on a console window? | 11:54 |
seedo | I've searched a lot thoughout the internet but never got a working solution | 11:54 |
captianyipe | seedo: how about we try something. Cant hurt. I had a really quiet mic untill i set its volume higher... | 11:54 |
captianyipe | seedo: open a terminal and type alsamixer | 11:55 |
Arisawa | Dr_willis: maybe it's because of my video driver (Geoforce GT-9600) | 11:55 |
seedo | captianyipe, my mic is not quiet. Its recording just noise. | 11:55 |
seedo | okay, i will do | 11:55 |
captianyipe | seedo: is it loud noise or quiet noise? | 11:55 |
irandefenceforce | jost_:That lists accounts ? | 11:55 |
seedo | a mid range volume, not too loud or quiet | 11:56 |
=== giuseppe is now known as Guest77065 | ||
captianyipe | seedo: alright, probably dont want to change anything in alsamixer then. press esc to exit it. | 11:56 |
jost_ | irandefenceforce: no, that should list the other account's home directory if it exists. Could be it was not created (which would explain the failing login) | 11:56 |
seedo | ok | 11:56 |
irandefenceforce | jost_:My main account is broken bad so i can't access the terminal. | 11:57 |

captianyipe | seedo, after a quick look around the fourms it seems there is lots of people having the same issue. So far no fix im afraid. As for your brightness I actually have a mate who has an acer laptop which brightness doesn't work. Ive had a good go at trying to fix it... but no joy. Anyway. Is it possible to buy a cheap microphone to plug into the audio line in as a quick fix? | 12:03 |
seedo | captianyipe, Yea, sadly, Now I need to do that. | 12:03 |
seedo | Brightness I was somehow able to adjust. | 12:03 |
captianyipe | really? how did you manage to do it? | 12:04 |
seedo | I tried one fix, that seems almost okay now. | 12:04 |
captianyipe | im quite interested | 12:04 |
raven_ | Until ubuntu 12.04 i compiled driver for my wifi card (belkin n300 usb key), and blacklisted RTL8192CU. All works fine, but i've installed ubuntu 13.04 and when trying to compile driver, make exit with errors (http://pastebin.com/04AQ44B1) | 12:04 |
seedo | I did it long back. Forgot actually, one min, I will dig that up | 12:04 |
raven_ | Somebody have an idea ? | 12:04 |
captianyipe | ah its alright. Im not enough to bother you | 12:04 |
captianyipe | worried* | 12:05 |
seedo | captianyipe, editing the grub configuration file to add acpi_osi=Linux and acpi_backlight=vendor did the trick | 12:07 |
seedo | Do you remember where the file called 'brightness' is situated in ubuntu? | 12:08 |
seedo | captianyipe, ? | 12:08 |
seedo | captianyipe, i asked you this because | 12:09 |
captianyipe | hmm. im not sure where the file brightness is. But cheers for your solution, im keen to give it a go myself. | 12:09 |
ackbahr | Hi! 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 |
seedo | captianyipe, they key binding for brightness control produced no change in the file named 'brightness' | 12:10 |
seedo | that's why the brightness was not changing. | 12:10 |
irandefenceforce | My ubuntu cinnamon 12 lts is broken.How do i go about repairing it? | 12:10 |
cfhowlett | irandefenceforce, cinnamon isn't supported here. ask #mint | 12:11 |
jost_ | seedo: I have two at /etc/acpi/events/asus-brightness-[up|down] | 12:11 |
seedo | captianyipe, Although I said it is solved, there is a lil problem, when we try to increase the brightness, it is decreasing, and the vice versa | 12:11 |
seedo | Jost_, thank you. | 12:12 |
irandefenceforce | cfhowlett:No one home ;) | 12:12 |
seedo | jost_, Actually, i didn't mean that one. | 12:12 |
seedo | lemme check | 12:12 |

seedo | jost_, kay. Thanks | 12:13 |
foofoobar | Hi. Is there a 64bit mac ubuntu image which fits on a 700mb cd-r ? | 12:14 |
foofoobar | I don't have any dvd-r :/ | 12:14 |
seedo | jost_, would you please explain a bit further on what to do to exchange? | 12:14 |
Dr_willis | foobarba1, use a usb flash perhaps? the releases of 12.04 and befoir fit on cd | 12:15 |
captianyipe | seedo, do you mean the files located at /sys/class/backlight/*/brightness | 12:15 |
Dr_willis | lubuntu Might still fit on a 700mb cd in later reelases | 12:15 |
seedo | captianyipe, Yep. That's it | 12:15 |
jrib | foofoobar: you could use a flash drive or grab the minimal installer (and then you can have the packages downloaded during install) | 12:15 |
foofoobar | Dr_willis, I can't use a flash, my macbook needs a cd/dvd to install from | 12:15 |
captianyipe | when i do a ls on that i get /sys/class/backlight/apple_backlight/brightness | 12:15 |
captianyipe | whoops | 12:16 |
jost_ | seedo: you could either exchange the event or the action line between the files. | 12:16 |
jrib | foofoobar: although maybe minimal won't have the "mac parts" | 12:16 |
foofoobar | jrib, minimal installer = server install? | 12:16 |
jrib | !minimal | foofoobar | 12:16 |
ubottu | foofoobar: 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/MinimalCD | 12:16 |
Dr_willis | !minimal | 12:16 |
Dr_willis | ;) | 12:16 |
Dr_willis | night all | 12:16 |
foofoobar | okay, but unlikely to find minimal + mac? :D | 12:16 |
seedo | captianyipe, Yea, I have two folders, one named acer_backlight and another one named intel_backlight | 12:16 |
yeats | foofoobar: look at the link - there are several variants | 12:17 |
foofoobar | I think I have to take the 64-bit PC (amd64, x86_64) | 12:17 |
captianyipe | yeah. for me i get apple_backlight and radeon_bl0... they seem to contain a number of what my brightness is set at | 12:17 |
seedo | the 'brightness' file in acer_backlight is unaffected by the hotkey press | 12:17 |
Arch-rMBP | anyone 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 types | 12:18 |
foofoobar | Is just the UI missing in the server installation compared to the "normal" version? | 12:19 |
seedo | captianyipe, Those grub options set the backlight control to backlight_intel. It works. | 12:19 |
seedo | captianyipe, Funny thing is that, higher the entry, lower the brightness, | 12:19 |
captianyipe | seedo, alright. better not to fix whats not really broken. | 12:20 |
captianyipe | seedo, yeah that seems to be the case | 12:20 |
seedo | captianyipe, That's why I see the reverse behavior when adjusting backlight. :D | 12:20 |
yeats | Arch-rMBP: you might look into usage of the 'yes' command | 12:20 |
seedo | I'm fine with this. At least I can adjust backlight now. | 12:20 |
odraencode | Hey | 12:20 |
seedo | What really pisses me off is no recording possibility :( | 12:21 |
yeats | Arch-rMBP: don't know how it would emulate 'Ctrl-F5', but it's probably worth a google search ;-) | 12:21 |
Arch-rMBP | googling that now..thanks | 12:21 |
seedo | Also, I'm currently using 12.10. | 12:21 |
captianyipe | seedo: it really is worth moving to 13.04 if you can. | 12:21 |
seedo | 13.04 has been catastrophic. For the first time I'm witnessing kernel panics :O | 12:21 |
captianyipe | really? | 12:22 |
seedo | yea | 12:22 |
seedo | My internet connection is via bluetooth | 12:22 |
captianyipe | i found 12.10 to be horrible. 13.04 seems fantastic | 12:22 |

seedo | be right back | 12:22 |
num7 | what is the name of the standard terminal emulator on ubuntu 12.04? | 12:22 |

captianyipe | yeah. I cant get my mac to boot from DVD either | 12:25 |
captianyipe | i mean flash | 12:25 |
captianyipe | whoops lol. I have to use dvds... | 12:25 |
foofoobar | But I have no DVD-R here to burn it :D So I'm looking for a version smaller than 700mb | 12:25 |
captianyipe | well that is a bother. Really, the iso has not been able to fit onto a 700mb cd since 12.04 | 12:26 |
foofoobar | maybe I can get the minimal-amd64-pc installer running | 12:26 |
captianyipe | the pc version should work just as fine as the mac iso. are you planning on a dualboot with OSX? | 12:27 |
foofoobar | captianyipe, yes | 12:27 |
foofoobar | I already have rEFit set up | 12:27 |
captianyipe | heh. have fun with that. I have said my goodbyes to OSX... i use ubuntu as my daily driver. | 12:28 |

linuxranger | captainyipe, do you still dual-boot OS X? | 12:29 |
seedo | captianyipe, I use a bluetooth connection for internet (Actually I tether internet from phone over bluetooth). Setting up a new connection and accessing internet is fine. | 12:29 |
captianyipe | not anymore. I now dualboot ubuntu and kali quite nicely... its great not worrying about having a hybrid mbr =) | 12:29 |
seedo | captianyipe, The twist is at when we try to click the already connected connection from the network manager menu | 12:29 |
seedo | captianyipe, All of a sudden, kernel panics | 12:30 |
arcripex | help need asap...see i uploaded image screenshot here http://postimg.org/image/a31drmqs1/ errors i experience on daily basis | 12:30 |
captianyipe | seedo: ah yes, the bluetooth menu got a complete redesign in 13.04. Maybe something went wong there and there a little regression bug? | 12:30 |
linuxranger | That's nice. I dual oot ubuntu and lubuntu on my laptop and rin puppy linux from a flash drive. I love how they can all boot up in like 20 seconds even though I do not have money for an SSD :P | 12:31 |
seedo | captianyipe, Maybe, how do I confirm it? | 12:31 |
captianyipe | linuxranger, do you have a mac? | 12:31 |
linuxranger | Nope, PC. Was just asking about OS X out of interest. | 12:31 |
captianyipe | seedo: well... all you can do is read the logfile produced when you have a kernal panic. | 12:32 |
captianyipe | linuxranger: yeah i love the speed of ubuntu.. ol' Lion was getting a bit slow towards the end | 12:32 |
captianyipe | linuxranger: too bad macs cant boot well from usb =( | 12:33 |
captianyipe | foofoobar, 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 |
xylon_ | Hello people... | 12:36 |
xylon_ | Can ayatana indicators be displayed in applications? | 12:36 |
xylon_ | For example, if you were developing a messaging app? | 12:37 |
arcripex | help need asap...see i uploaded image screenshot here http://postimg.org/image/a31drmqs1/ errors i experience on daily basis | 12:37 |
bekks | xylon_: Whats "ayatana"? | 12:37 |
seedo_ | captianyipe, found one guy mentioning the same problem in reddit | 12:37 |
odraencode | I need some help with a wacom tablet, it seems the wheel does nothing. | 12:37 |
seedo_ | captianyipe, http://www.reddit.com/r/Ubuntu/comments/1dbq57/ubuntu_1304_kernel_panics_on_disconnecting/ | 12:37 |

captianyipe | well seedo_, seems you are not alone then. | 12:38 |
xylon_ | bekks: https://launchpad.net/ayatana | 12:38 |
captianyipe | perhaps you could try posting to the ubuntu fourms and see if you get a solution | 12:38 |
seedo_ | captianyipe, No answer to that question for 20 days. | 12:38 |
captianyipe | i'm fresh out of ideas | 12:38 |
bekks | xylon_: Then I dont get your initial question. | 12:38 |
seedo_ | I've never been active on forums. Seems like I have to be. | 12:39 |
odraencode | Hey :D | 12:39 |
captianyipe | well its worth a shot. there must be other people in the world who tether their phones over blutooth | 12:39 |
xylon_ | bekks: basically, the Unity panel displays indicators from the Ayatana project, whcih are an alternative to the system tray | 12:39 |
odraencode | I have a wacom tablet with a wheel for spinning/zooming/scrolling and it does nothing can someone help? | 12:40 |
kwzx_ | disconnect | 12:40 |
xylon_ | bekks: They inlude the SoundMenu, NetworkMenu and other stuff | 12:40 |
odraencode | It doesn't see to fire any events in xev either. I wonder if the wheel is working | 12:40 |
bekks | xylon_: And? | 12:40 |
bekks | xylon_: If you want other icons, you would have to create a theme. | 12:40 |
xylon_ | bekks: So basically, I was wondering if it would be possible to display one of these indicators in another app - like display the Messaging Menu in a Meesaging App like Empathy | 12:41 |
odraencode | I have noticed in the tablet configuration window I can bind a key to it but I just want the default behaviour | 12:41 |
bekks | xylon_: If you incorporate them as a theme - sure. | 12:41 |
xylon_ | bekks: I DON'T want to create an indicator | 12:41 |
xylon_ | bekks: err what? | 12:41 |
xylon_ | bekks: I think we are misunderstanding each other | 12:41 |
xylon_ | bekks: Or I'm being stupid | 12:41 |
bekks | xylon_: You have a bunch of icons, etc. you want to use in a specific application, yes. | 12:42 |
bekks | xylon_: ? :) | 12:42 |
cfhowlett | !wacom|odraencode, | 12:42 |
xylon_ | bekks: I think the indicators are more than icons | 12:42 |
odraencode | cfhowlett: ? | 12:42 |
bekks | xylon_: What else are they, what do you think? | 12:42 |
xylon_ | bekks: I've seen them integrated in to elementaries Wingpanel | 12:43 |
xylon_ | bekks: definetely not just icons | 12:43 |
bekks | xylon_: And what else ar they? | 12:43 |
cfhowlett | odraencode, thought there might be a wacom factoid. Nope. | 12:43 |
xylon_ | bekks: Basically they are a whole API to provide a newer and more unified alternative to the system tray | 12:44 |

bekks | xylon_: What did you expect? Devs hanging around and waiting for suggestions of users? :P | 12:46 |
seedo_ | captianyipe, After a bit of research, I found it is a kernel issue. Its there in all 3.8.x kernels | 12:46 |
irandefenceforce | llutz:that sucks | 12:46 |
cfhowlett | irandefenceforce, depends. assume your wacom has a custom config in your user /home. Delete the file and it'll reset | 12:46 |
xylon_ | bekks: I hang around on the elementary-dev channel a lot | 12:46 |

cfhowlett | irandefenceforce, it'll probably be a hidden file and hard to locate. The nuclear option is to delete all files under /home. logout/login and you're back in business. OR! create a new user. login to the to virgin account and try your wacom to see if the settings have gone to default. | 12:49 |
seedo_ | Its not fixed till 3.9.2, one of the post says. :( | 12:50 |

In sintesys if i want libre office 4 for anything reazon i corrupt or vulnerate my system ubu | 12:54 |
Alberto | ntu 12.04 | 12:54 |
Alberto | ? | 12:54 |
bekks | Alberto: 12.04 LTS will receive security fixes until 2017. | 12:54 |
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 update | 12:55 |
Alberto | I 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 |
krux | jost_, have you reinstalled lightdm to see if it fixed it ?.. maybe ? | 12:56 |
cfhowlett | Alberto, and also, sudo apt-get upgrade and apt-get dist-upgrade will bring in newer packages as will backports | 12:56 |
valetabbi | ciao | 12:56 |
bekks | Alberto: If you stick with the version from the repos - no. If you use other, foreign repos, maybe yes. | 12:56 |
bascherz | Alberto: 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 |

krux | sudo dpkg-reconfigure lightdm | 13:00 |
seedo_ | jost_, sorry, need to go. Otherwise, I'd have loved to look into that. | 13:00 |
Alberto | I have downloaded libre office from the official website and i want to stay whith the LTS, dont want to upgrade versión because i am happiest whith this version , i dont know how to add libre office 4 to repos, but if i download this from official website and stay watching from new version i am will still fine rigth? | 13:00 |
abc | bekks : u mean i won't be able to install oracle? | 13:00 |
Svetlina | Hi | 13:00 |
jost_ | seedo: nope. | 13:00 |
bekks | abc: If you still try to, you will have to run the installer and fix all occuring problems yourself. | 13:00 |
bekks | abc: Ubuntu is not a supported distro by Oracle. | 13:01 |
cfhowlett | Alberto, yes. sudo dkpg -i libreoffice.deb will do the trick | 13:01 |
cfhowlett | abc, wrong channel | 13:01 |
jost_ | krux: ok, didn't purge. However, too late now. The update is just prompting me for a reboot. I'll report back | 13:01 |
bekks | abc: Supported OS are: http://docs.oracle.com/cd/B28359_01/install.111/b32002/pre_install.htm#CHDFFBIF | 13:01 |
krux | kk | 13:01 |
bascherz | Alberto: all support for 10.04 LTS ended last month. 12.04 is supported into 2017. I resisted upgrading also, but I am glad I did it. It is a time-consuming process, though. | 13:02 |
abc | is 10g supported? | 13:02 |
Alberto | Thank you very muc guys somebody scarry me and say me i must stay whith the version 3 or i can broke ubuntu and i have peace on mind for your answers | 13:02 |
bekks | abc: No. | 13:03 |
cfhowlett | Alberto, best of luck. | 13:03 |
abc | which db is supported then? | 13:03 |

jost_ | krux: ok, reboot after install done. + | 13:03 |
bascherz | Alberto: You can stay with 10.04 LTS if you like, but some newer apps or updates to them are not going to work. | 13:03 |
bekks | abc: Mysql, postgres. | 13:03 |
abc | else than mysql and sybase and db2? | 13:03 |
jost_ | krux: I'll give the purge a try. | 13:03 |
Alberto | I know bascherz I use 13.04 for awhile but i prefer stay whith lts | 13:03 |
cfhowlett | Alberto, 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 |
bascherz | Alberto: You can make 12.04 look and feel just like 10.04 | 13:04 |
jost_ | OerHeks: jep, it's owned by root alright. | 13:04 |
Alberto | I have 12.04 | 13:04 |
bekks | abc: Sybase does not support Ubuntu either, not does DB2. | 13:04 |
jost_ | OerHeks: geez, that was simple. How come gdm doesn'tcare about this? | 13:05 |
Alberto | only LTS the other versions scarries me and i think have too much issues | 13:05 |
abc | okay if i try to resolve the issues side by side | 13:05 |
OerHeks | jost_, it shouldn't, this is a known bug after upgrade | 13:05 |
abc | finally, it is installable; right? | 13:05 |
bekks | abc: Choose your required RDBMS, then choose the required OS. | 13:05 |
Alberto | jejjee i put gnome fallback too | 13:05 |
OerHeks | jost_, it happens not to everybody, AFAIK | 13:05 |
abc | I do have ubuntu 13.04 os | 13:05 |
bascherz | Alberto: Don't be afraid to do the upgrade. Watch this video. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=YTw9e2n25uE | 13:05 |
amino_ | Hey everyone. Is there way to fix overscan issues on an ATI system WITHOUT using the Catalyst driver (because it is so slow on my system compared to the standard driver)? | 13:05 |
bascherz | gotta go | 13:05 |
abc | and just want some good RDBMS to develop my applications | 13:05 |
bekks | abc: Thats the wqrong approach. Choose the required RDBMS, then choose the OS. | 13:06 |
bekks | abc: Or use postgres, since thats a RDBMS, while mysql isnt. | 13:06 |
jost_ | OerHeks: Do you have the bug's id? | 13:06 |
Alberto | I will check bascherz or i will try too install 13.04 in other machine now i am happy whith 12.04 if i see it works well i put on my machine and chec video and thanks to all havenice day | 13:06 |

bonno | hello 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 PID | 13:10 |
morning | On 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? Or | 13:10 |
morning | erase it and create a new one? | 13:10 |
bekks | bonno: Then stop the teamviewer service. | 13:11 |
bonno | how? | 13:11 |
abc | bekks how to stop the services? | 13:11 |
bekks | morning: 100MB < 200MB < 272MB. | 13:11 |
bonno | now i see that the connection is closed ... and teamviewer terminated by itself | 13:11 |
bekks | bonno: I guess there is something like /etc/init.d/teamviewer | 13:12 |
morning | bekks: 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 |
morning | And on a new laptop with 8 MB and an ssd, do I need swap space, or should I just skip it? | 13:13 |
morning | sorry: 8 GB | 13:13 |
bonno | so do i delete that? or what? | 13:14 |
bekks | morning: If you want hibernation, you need 8GB swap. | 13:14 |
bekks | bonno: No. You stop it. | 13:14 |
bekks | bonno: sudo /etc/init.d/teamviewer stop for instance. | 13:14 |
morning | bekks: 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 |
abc | bekks, I am new to ubuntu.... | 13:15 |
bekks | morning: For me, hibernation works reliably for years now. | 13:15 |
abc | I have heard about wine | 13:16 |
bekks | morning: And personally, I always have a swap space. :) | 13:16 |
morning | Bekks: Hmmm. Maybe I should give it a go, then. | 13:16 |
bonno | now 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 |
abc | can the oracle be installed thru wine? | 13:16 |
bekks | abc: Which is not a virtualization technology, but an emulation technology. | 13:16 |
bekks | bonno: 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 |
bekks | abc: No. Forget wine when talking about Oracle. | 13:17 |
bekks | abc: Use a supported host operating system, done. | 13:18 |
bonno | so you tell me that it will always connect to the internet even though i am not actually launching the program manually ? | 13:18 |
bekks | bonno: Correct. | 13:18 |
bonno | thank you :) very helpfull :) | 13:18 |
bekks | bonno: It registers itself at the teamviewer company hosts, to enable you to actually use it. | 13:19 |

=== BadLarry is now known as BadLarry_ | ||
theadmin | bonno: awesome, i3 | 13:33 |
jiku | not in a situation to burn a live cd or a live usb actually.. | 13:33 |
jiku | i do have live cd of only a non-ubuntu based distro | 13:33 |
jiku | entring in that and running update-grub would do that job ? | 13:34 |
bonno | well i cant actually see the passion people have for tiling managers.. :P | 13:34 |
bonno | what live cd do you have? | 13:34 |
alex_ | how can i install youtube in the unity web apps?? | 13:34 |
jiku | sabayon 8 and debian squeeze | 13:35 |
theadmin | jiku: update-grub is a script present only in Ubuntu for all I know, you'd have to use grub-mkconfig on other distributions | 13:36 |
bonno | yeah debian squeeze would do the job | 13:36 |
bonno | but only update/reinstall grub | 13:37 |
jiku | do i have to chroot after entring the LIVE CD environment in squeeze ? | 13:37 |
theadmin | jiku: That'd probably be the best option, actually. | 13:37 |
theadmin | jiku: Make sure it has the same architecture, though | 13:37 |
jiku | theadmin, bonno, lets see.. | 13:38 |
jiku | trying to do nw. | 13:38 |
bonno | i 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 bootloader | 13:39 |
bonno | you wont use the script | 13:40 |
bonno | theadmin, i am not talking about the ubuntu script | 13:40 |
theadmin | Eh, sure but if we're fixing Ubuntu's grub probably best to do it from Ubuntu, whether a LiveCD or a chroot or whatever | 13:40 |
bonno | yeah i agree but he/she said they dont have ubuntu live cd :P | 13:40 |
theadmin | bonno: Then chroot to the Ubuntu install they already have and do it from there | 13:41 |
bonno | i dont know how he could chroot :P | 13:42 |
bonno | theadmin, should i install i3 aloside with xmonad? | 13:43 |
theadmin | bonno: Sure, don't see why not. Unlike xmonad, though, i3's config is simple and text-based, it's not really programmable. | 13:43 |
theadmin | bonno: Awesome is, though. | 13:43 |
=== raster is now known as Guest23732 | ||
bonno | what do you mean it is not programmable? | 13:45 |
theadmin | bonno: Well, xmonad's config is written in Haskell, a programming language. You can make it do about anything. | 13:47 |
prx | installed a deafult installation of LAMP, where should my .htaccess file be? | 13:47 |
somsip | bonno: and awesome uses lua. Ditto on the last point | 13:48 |
bonno | now i see the point of all that lua and haskell books my brother has :P | 13:49 |

rocky | hello folks | 13:57 |
theadmin | madc|SPYnX: Your question makes no sense to me, if you could rephrase, maybe. | 13:57 |
rocky | why ubuntu system settings doesn't shows video? | 13:57 |
cfhowlett | madc|SPYnX, bridge connection is what you want , but I don't know the specifics | 13:57 |
cfhowlett | rocky, NO videos? details ... | 13:57 |
foofoobar | So 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 |
foofoobar | I then rebooted and now when I select the icon I just get a screen with this linux icon, nothing more | 13:58 |
foofoobar | What can I do now? | 13:58 |
foofoobar | I already tried opening the rEFIt partition tool, but this tells me that the MBR is in sync, so no need to fix | 13:58 |
rocky | cfhowlett, 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 connected | 13:58 |
rocky | cfhowlett, this way ubuntu labels the connected hardware and other applications use video input can easily the input | 13:59 |
madc|SPYnX | cfhowlett, is that it bridged? can i access ubuntu on vbox to my host | 14:00 |
cfhowlett | madc|SPYnX, as I understand it, yes | 14:00 |
madc|SPYnX | cfhowlett, inet addr:10.0.2.15 bcast 10.0.2.255 mask 255.255.255.0 | 14:01 |
foofoobar | Does it make a difference if I install grub to /dev/sda instead of /dev/sda4 ? | 14:02 |
madc|SPYnX | cfhowlett, i will changed NAT to Bridged... if i change that.. is it posible to acess internet in tha situation? | 14:02 |
jost_ | madc|SPYnX: If you have a home network with regular router: yes | 14:03 |

Guest20159 | Hi! Can I install KDE and Cinnamon on my Ubuntu 13.04 install? | 15:53 |
jost_ | madc|SPYnX: ah, missed your post :) | 15:54 |
linuxranger | What would you guys say is the best solution for running a local network FTP server on Ubuntu 13.04? I tried vsftpd and I found it almost impossible to get the permissions right. I don't need something that is THAT secure. Just want to share some media files with other PC's in my network. | 15:54 |
IdleOne | Guest20159: yes, sudo apt-get install kubuntu-desktop cinnamon | 15:55 |
Guest20159 | IdleOne, actually I dont want all the extra apps.. I just want the basics | 15:55 |
XLV | has anyone tried zfs on ubuntu? comments on stability/reliability? | 15:55 |

Arkhana | XLV: What is it, actually? | 15:57 |
Guest20159 | Anyways to install the desktop only and not the games, kde apps etc | 15:57 |
XLV | Arkhana, sure, but troubleshooting with the TB of data i have, isnt the most straightforward or effortless | 15:57 |
IdleOne | Guest20159: the apps are what make the DE | 15:57 |

xylon | Spado: howdy | 16:43 |
Spado | I tired installing Ubuntu on an USB drive, but I get awful graphics performance (ATI 4770) at the point I can't play a youtube video and my magic mouse is not performing well either (not precise, lags) | 16:44 |
Spado | sorry ati 5770* | 16:44 |
D3finition | Hi | 16:44 |
xylon | Spado: Which Ubuntu version? | 16:44 |

XjhK | ... | 16:45 |

XjhK | OK. | 16:45 |
xylon | Spado: You may want to try lighter Ubuntu variants, such as Xubuntu or Lubuntu. | 16:45 |
xylon | Spado: or wait for someone who can help you | 16:46 |
xylon | Better than I can | 16:46 |
xylon | D3fenition: hello | 16:46 |
Spado | I come from the hackintosh world | 16:46 |
xylon | Spado: well then, welcome...to the Future! | 16:47 |
Spado | and 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 |
OerHeks | ATI 2xxx 3xxx 4xxx are bad supported by the ATI driver. | 16:48 |
xylon | Spado: I think it would probably be better on a HDD | 16:48 |
xylon | OerHeks its ATI 5xxx | 16:49 |
Spado | I can see that, but basically I will never get full performance like I used to get on Windows/Mac OS? | 16:50 |
xylon | Spado: Like I said, if you're running off USB Xubuntu or Lubuntu could be a better choice. | 16:51 |
Spado | I 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 difference | 16:51 |
ovidiu_C | hi 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/sda6 | 16:52 |
Spado | Thanks 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 is | 16:53 |

arun_ | there is something error to load lmdm i guess | 17:18 |
OerHeks | arun_, all i can think of, is boot in recoverymode, ( hold shift @ boot to enter grub2 menu) and remove the theme. | 17:18 |
Spado | I was wondering about ATI drivers too | 17:19 |
OerHeks | i am not fond of themes, they can break your system if they do not come from the official repository's | 17:19 |

arun_ | hey my login screen doesn't pop and the OS always loads a lot but doesn't pop the login screen help me please | 17:22 |
seronis | jeffszusz: more specifically the way i understood the instructions was you should edit resolv.conf then 'additionally' edit dhclient.conf before rebooting the service/computer | 17:22 |
OerHeks | Spado, check first on that page from BluesKaj if your ati 3200 is supported ( i think not) | 17:22 |
Carl_ | So when you dual-boot, does it boot both OS's or...? | 17:23 |

seronis | jeffszusz: im not clear minded enough to tell how significant it is.. but maybe 'man resolvconf' can help too | 17:26 |
jeffszusz | seronis: changing resolv.conf.d/base worked wonders | 17:28 |

XLV | schnitzel--, why wouldnt it work on ubuntu? its not like its software setting that makes it work, a cut off filter for freqs below a threshold are sent to the subwoofer | 17:29 |
jeffszusz | thanks for trying to help :) | 17:29 |
XLV | schnitzel--, ah, external... does it use analog sound out, digital, or usb? | 17:30 |

platzhirsch | My music, pictures, etc. are on another hard-drive, which is encrypted. I have modified the .config/user-dirs.dir to point to them, unfortunately, after relogging in, the modifications in .config.user-dirs.dir are resetted to $HOME. It seems not to work if, at startup, the hard-drive is not decrypted, any idea how to approach this? | 17:32 |
XLV | schnitzel--, from the picture seems its just analog sound out | 17:32 |
XLV | schnitzel--, http://sonicmaster.asus.com/global/n5/features/ | 17:33 |
ActionParsnip | platzhirsch: could make symlinks instead. | 17:33 |
platzhirsch | ActionParsnip: tried that already, same result.. unfotunately | 17:33 |
schnitzel-- | XLV thats it....any ideas how to get it working? | 17:34 |
platzhirsch | is mounting the hard drive coupled with attempting to decrypt it? | 17:34 |
XLV | schnitzel--, it says in that asus page it involves hardware and software processing | 17:34 |
platzhirsch | if I could auto-mount it at start up without getting a prompt to enter the passphrase that would be a viable solution | 17:34 |
ActionParsnip | platzhirsch: so you deleted the standing folders and made symlinks? The current config of user-dirs.dir will be correct for your needs. I dont see how that can possible yield the same result in any way | 17:34 |
=== mnepton is now known as mneptok | ||
platzhirsch | ActionParsnip: yes, well I am not sure. But it seems the program parsing config-dirs.dir follows the symlink, which is not possible while the drive is unmounted/encrypted | 17:35 |
schnitzel-- | thanks XLV . i am going to read everything i can find...:D | 17:35 |
ActionParsnip | platzhirsch: you mount the partition too, not the drive | 17:35 |
XLV | schnitzel--, if its some preculiar software used by asus and b&o http://www.icepower.bang-olufsen.com/en/news/news?id=40 then it will take specific linux sypport to make it work | 17:35 |

sylar_5 | koramati: you can only have 4 partitions | 18:58 |
=== jack is now known as Guest53627 | ||
koramati | like windows we can't go for multple partions ? | 18:59 |
sylar_5 | but: an extended partition can hold additional partitions (like /dev/sda2 is holding /dev/sda5 | 18:59 |
koramati | ok , great . | 18:59 |
sylar_5 | koramati: your /dev/sda3 partition is completely empty? | 18:59 |
koramati | how i can create it | 18:59 |
sylar_5 | sry meant /dev/sda4 | 19:00 |
sylar_5 | the one you labled "Movies" | 19:00 |
koramati | yes , | 19:00 |
sylar_5 | koramati: delete it, create an extended partition using all the available space | 19:00 |
koramati | can i make this as extended | 19:00 |
sylar_5 | then you can create partitions inside it | 19:01 |
wilee-nilee | koramati, Are you on a live session you have mounted partitions. | 19:01 |
Ben64 | what | 19:01 |
Ben64 | you do not need to delete sda4 | 19:01 |
sylar_5 | wilee-nilee: sda4 is not mounted | 19:01 |
koramati | actually , i am not getting the option to make extended partion | 19:01 |
Ben64 | koramati: don't delete sda4 unless you want all that data gone forever | 19:01 |
wilee-nilee | sylar_5, Did I say it was? | 19:02 |
=== Cyberspacelurker is now known as Cyberspaceloa | ||
sylar_5 | Ben64: it's empty | 19:02 |
Ben64 | the problem is that swap is using the extended partition all to itself | 19:02 |
koramati | i deleted | 19:02 |
sylar_5 | wilee-nilee, sry, thought it was a question | 19:02 |
Ben64 | need to delete that, optionally extend sda1, and make the end of the drive a big extended partition and you can fill it however you wish | 19:02 |
koramati | still i am not seeing that option to make extended | 19:03 |
Ben64 | because as i said, the swap is using the extended partition | 19:03 |

Syria | When I boot my ubuntu 12.04 LTS I get GNU grub menu and the first two options lead me to shell with intframes this and it doesn't boot !! please tell me what to do ! | 19:03 |
koramati | yes | 19:03 |
wilee-nilee | koramati, You want the partitions in numerical order from left to right, what ever you do here you want to end with this being the case. | 19:04 |
Ben64 | that matters not wilee-nilee | 19:04 |
sylar_5 | koramati: do you have a second computer which you could use to chat? | 19:05 |
wilee-nilee | Ben64, It does as far as basic adjustments in gparted. | 19:05 |
koramati | i am looking how i can create multiple partions with unalocated space | 19:06 |
sylar_5 | because i'd suggest to boot into gparted live cd, to convert the swap to be not in an extended partition | 19:06 |
koramati | currently only one machine | 19:06 |
sylar_5 | koramati: you can only have 4 partitions, and max. 1 of them can be extended | 19:06 |
koramati | ok | 19:07 |
sylar_5 | (and partitions inside the extended partition don't count to this) | 19:07 |
Ben64 | koramati: i've already explained | 19:07 |
koramati | so from here i can't rt | 19:07 |
koramati | need to go from boot | 19:07 |
Ben64 | what? | 19:08 |
koramati | to create extended partion | 19:08 |
Ben64 | you're not making sense | 19:08 |
koramati | Ben64 : i got the answer | 19:09 |
sylar_5 | your /dev/sda2 is an extended partition, /dev/sda5 is a swap partition inside /dev/sda2j | 19:09 |
koramati | yes | 19:10 |
sylar_5 | you need to change this so that at this place there is only one primary swap partition | 19:10 |
sylar_5 | then, you can create an extended partition at the unallocated place (using all space there is) | 19:10 |
sylar_5 | and then you can create partitions inside this extended partition | 19:10 |
koramati | yes , correct | 19:10 |
koramati | now i can't delete .need to change this from boot | 19:12 |
koramati | i am rt | 19:12 |

tucemiux | jrib, i guess my real question is, is there a difference from installing a video card driver donwloaded from nvidia.com as opposed to using what's in the repos? | 20:02 |
jrib | tucemiux: using the repositories means you get automatic updates through the package manager | 20:03 |
jrib | tucemiux: the drivers are the same drivers, they're just packaged in the repositories | 20:03 |

seronis | now how do i find the location of that script? | 20:47 |
seronis | (to upgrade it) | 20:47 |
ThinkT510 | seronis: its a program you install with apt-get | 20:48 |

abc | mong...then what's d solution, mate? | 21:02 |
lars | But I rarely text on my cell phone, It's too old school for that | 21:02 |
mong | abc: you can ask oracle support, or you can run oracle linux (or any other supported distro) | 21:02 |
lars | it's an old cell phone | 21:02 |
sylar_5 | lars: then boot from cd, start the browser, and use this: http://webchat.freenode.net/ | 21:02 |

abc | if i can use a virtual machine on top of ubuntu? | 21:04 |
abc | bekks u neva mentioned the virtual machine thing | 21:04 |
sylar_5 | lars: when you boot from the live cd, it should ask you "install or try" | 21:04 |
bekks | abc: you can just run a vm with a supported OS. | 21:04 |
lars | Yes, so I choose "Try" instead of install, right? | 21:04 |
sylar_5 | lars: use try. from there, you should be able to start a web browser | 21:04 |

abc | performance issue might be there.... | 21:12 |
OerHeks | dogbert2, with a few exceptions, true (like videodrivers & wireless) | 21:12 |
abc | that is the slowness of oracle cursors.... | 21:13 |

cnf | xkernel: what from that article isn't working? | 21:41 |

DiegoNolan | well 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 qwerty | 21:41 |
xkernel | cnf, didn't try it yet but I see it's identifies a USB device S/N and UUID to authenticate it | 21:41 |
cnf | yes... | 21:41 |
xkernel | cnf, this can be easily evade by a microcontroller or fake device, I'm looking for something that fetches certificate from the USB | 21:42 |
cnf | why? i think it's kinda stupid anyway | 21:43 |
cnf | 1) physical access means it is too late, really, anyway | 21:43 |
cnf | it's far easier booting from usb than faking usb ID's | 21:43 |
cnf | 2) doesn't work remote | 21:43 |
cnf | 3) TOTP is FAR easier, and works remote | 21:43 |
servvs | okay 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 |
cnf | xkernel: and 4) TOTP has to be authed every time, so it is secure remote as well | 21:45 |
OerHeks | m1chael, 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 |
cnf | xkernel: so my main question would be, what exactly are you trying to accomplish? | 21:45 |
xkernel | cnf, 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-tokens | 21:47 |
cnf | xkernel: those work by generating OTP | 21:48 |
cnf | not by having "a certificate" | 21:48 |
cnf | xkernel: do you have a smartphone? | 21:49 |
xkernel | cnf, not currently | 21:49 |
xkernel | cnf but will get one, what the solution you want to say?? | 21:49 |
cnf | xkernel: TOTP (Time based One Time Password) | 21:49 |
cnf | smart phone generates a token, that is valid for 30 seconds, and one time use | 21:50 |
cnf | it's what my servers have | 21:50 |
xkernel | cnf, which application will be installed on the smart phone to generate the password??? | 21:50 |
cnf | several can do it | 21:50 |
cnf | the google authenticator app for iOS and android does it, but i prefer the Duo Security app on iOS or android myself | 21:50 |
cnf | https://play.google.com/store/apps/details?id=com.duosecurity.duomobile for android | 21:51 |
cnf | https://itunes.apple.com/us/app/duo-mobile/id422663827?mt=8 for ios | 21:51 |
cnf | there is a blackberry one as well | 21:51 |
OerHeks | i use yubikey, but those systems rely on internet. | 21:51 |
xkernel | cnf, 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 |
cnf | xkernel: it also secures my VPN | 21:51 |

cnf | xkernel: it's just their app you use | 21:52 |

I know how to backup my data...but I want to backup all the configuration changes that I've made to Samba, Apache, Plex server, and my Squeezebox. Is there a program to do this for me? Will I run into trouble if I upgrade the OS, and then reinstall those 4 servers, and try to use my old config files? | 22:23 |
K1lleD | BillJobs: what processor have this laptop. and with 3gb ram, i think 12.04 LTS, or 12.10 | 22:24 |
bekks | BillJobs: If it is capable of 64bit, I'd go with that. | 22:25 |

eljoest | Hi, I'm seeing very high cpu load of NetworkManager and wpa_supplicant as soon as the network manager service is started. Syslog contains tons of messages from iwl3945 about "Radio disabled by HW RF Kill Switch" (which is correct). Started with my update to 13.04 via 12.10 today. Anyone have an idea for a solution? | 22:27 |
seronis | chvx: my own preference is swap partition = 1.5-2.0 x RAM. '/' gets everything else. Do you have a need for anything more complex ? | 22:27 |

kristenbb | so how can I reset my password without damaging my home folder ? | 22:32 |
ToBeFree | is it encrypted with that password? | 22:32 |
kristenbb | yes | 22:33 |
ToBeFree | I assume you need your password to decrypt it; if it would be possible to change the password of any encryption, that encryption would be useless | 22:33 |
ToBeFree | so it won't damage it, I assume, but it wouldn't give you any access | 22:33 |
kristenbb | Maybe only the logging password has been changed, but not the password for the encryption. How could I check that ? | 22:33 |

jrib | mojtaba: here is an example of a basic for loop: for file in *; do echo "$file"; done | 22:40 |
seronis | chvx: if you run services (like a web server) that have a risk of creating GiB of log files when an error occurs then having a mini partition where your logs go can make sense.. not many people require that | 22:40 |

jrib | elky: isn't it in the right-click context menu? | 22:47 |
jrib | kristenbb: then you need to remember your password | 22:47 |
jrib | kristenbb: or recall the passphrase that you were told to keep in a safe place | 22:47 |
kristenbb | jrib: well yes, and I do remember it, I'm 100% sure I'm typing it correctly. | 22:47 |

mynameis1eleted | so.. I know ubuntu supports i386 and x86_64 | 22:49 |
jrib | kristenbb: there is no way. Only if you remember your password. This is the whole point of encryption | 22:49 |
mynameis1eleted | I read about a new instruction set gcc and the kernel both support | 22:49 |
mynameis1eleted | x32... 32-bit instructions and word size for less waste of memory than 64-bit binaries, but hte full use of the 64-bit register set | 22:49 |

kristenbb | jrib: I do understand that, but as I said, I didn't change the password. I've seen other people complaining about similar things too on forums, with ssd drives. Maybe the encryption password was not changed, just the logging password ? How to check that ? | 22:50 |
James_Epp | mynameis1eleted: Perhaps I do not understand what you mean by x32 | 22:50 |
mynameis1eleted | i386 binaries are slower than x86_64 binaries | 22:50 |

bekks | chvx: Thats wrong. | 22:58 |
bekks | chvx: Thats was a rule, around 20 years ago. | 22:58 |
chvx | bekks: haha ok :D | 22:58 |
jrib | Marcello: most clients will highlight your own nick, so including a persons name will tend to grab their attention | 22:58 |
bekks | chvx: Nowadays, you need 1x RAM = SWAP for hibernation. | 22:58 |
elky | Marcello, or a , but tab completion will append that automatically. if your first choice doesn't appear when you tab complete, hit tab another time and it'll give you other options | 22:58 |
chvx | bekks: 1x? | 22:59 |
seronis | chvx: instead of 2x | 22:59 |
seronis | chvx: but in the 'big picture' it doesnt really matter. anywhere in that range is good | 23:00 |
chvx | seronis: my ram is 6gb so 6gig swap | 23:00 |
bekks | chvx: If you want to use hibernation. | 23:00 |
chvx | bekks: what purpose have it? | 23:00 |
Tex_Nick | Darkchaos: when bootinf from a live USB ... that's kinda common | 23:01 |
seronis | chvx: hibernation is for turning your power off without going through a 'shutdown' process. | 23:01 |
seronis | chvx: your ram is cached to disk, and it will use that disk image to restore ram contents on power-up | 23:01 |
chvx | seronis: so nothing else than that? hah | 23:02 |
seronis | so even programs and files that are 'unsaved' are restored | 23:02 |
seronis | with Windows its faster than rebooting so i used it | 23:02 |
seronis | linux reboots for me have been faster than Windows hibernation so i actually shut my laptop off now | 23:02 |
Darkchaos | Tex_Nick: So How can I fix it? On every machine it's just a blinking cursor. Not even a UNetBootIn Menu | 23:03 |
seronis | its a matter of preference though. | 23:03 |
jvm_ | hi. i have a usb boot flash drive with xubuntu on it, it works fine on my notebook. on my desktop for some reason (even while bios seems correctly configured) it wouldn't boot. so i used grub 1.98 commandline with 'root (hd2,0); chainloader +1; boot' which shows me "Boot error.", even while grub apparently can read the file system (checked with 'find /[TAB]'. now i don't know if the "Boot error." came from grub or from the loaded kernel, and h | 23:03 |
jvm_ | ave no idea what's wrong. any idea? | 23:03 |
Tex_Nick | Darkchaos: if it's not booting at all then the image on the USB is probably bad | 23:04 |
Darkchaos | I rewrote it again. May there be a partition error? fdisk does not complain, but gdisk does with lots of errors... | 23:05 |
Tex_Nick | Darkchaos: check the ISO you used to create the USB ... that would be an MD5 hash check\ | 23:06 |
WeThePeople | how do i run a bash script in the terminal | 23:06 |
mong | WeThePeople: if it is marked executable, "./filename.sh" | 23:07 |
Darkchaos | that's correct. It worked once but now as I did a ext3 and a hfs partition to it, it doesnt | 23:07 |
chvx | seronis: but can i after i have partition and installed my linux, later change the partition? | 23:07 |
Darkchaos | WeThePeople: or sh filename.sh if it doesn't have chmod u+x filename.sh | 23:08 |
Tex_Nick | WeThePeople: in the directory where the script is try ... ./myScript.sh ... make sure the script is executable | 23:08 |

usr13 | AndroUser: So, let's get going.... | 23:24 |
StaticLNX | is there a way to have ubuntu search for the fastest mirror and update my sources.list on ubuntu-server 12.10? | 23:24 |
PrototypeX29A | Tex_Nick: i just try get rid of gnome3 and unity, but i don't really seem to have an option right now | 23:25 |
cnf | servvs: if you do an apt-cache show <pkgname> you can see what packages is depends on, and what packages it reccomends | 23:25 |
cnf | servvs: iirc by default ubuntu also installs the recommended stuff | 23:25 |
servvs | yeah, xchat libunity9, nautilus libunity9, many others libunity9 and many more | 23:26 |
WeThePeople | is this>>> ~/ <<<home dir? | 23:26 |
fictive | I'm running ubuntu from bootcd right now, I just want to test if I can spoof my BT mac adress with the bdaddr tool. 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 appreciated | 23:26 |
cnf | servvs: as required, or recommended? | 23:26 |
servvs | required | 23:26 |
cnf | hmm, weird | 23:26 |
fictive | ubuntu 13.04, by the way. | 23:26 |
servvs | I used this command for nautilus: sudo apt-get install --download-only nautilus | 23:26 |
StaticLNX | anyone? D: | 23:26 |
servvs | then sudo dpkg -i nautilus* | 23:26 |
servvs | and it wouldn't run because of missing dependencies | 23:27 |
otak_ | WeThePeople: yup | 23:27 |
Tex_Nick | PrototypeX29A: 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 though | 23:27 |
cnf | i don't see any unity stuff in there? | 23:27 |
servvs | tried no-isntall-recommendeds and still tries to install them as dependencies (required) | 23:27 |
chvx | seronis: why are there defualt manual choices in ubuntu? | 23:29 |
StaticLNX | anyon? D: is there a way to have ubuntu search for the fastest mirror and update my sources.list on ubuntu-server 12.10? | 23:29 |

WeThePeople | my headphones keep not working between reboots any ideas? | 23:32 |
seronis | chvx: because people like choices ? | 23:32 |
bhalash | WeThePeople: They work, but don't work after a reboot, or they have never worked? | 23:32 |
fictive | anyone experienced with bluez and bdaddr? | 23:32 |
WeThePeople | bhalash, as of this boot they dont work but the last reboot they worked, and nothing was changed | 23:33 |
StaticLNX | otak: I tried typing sudo netselect and sudo netselect-apt and get command not found | 23:33 |
NineTeen67Comet | hello 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 |
fictive | or are there perhaps any other ways of changing my BT mac address other than using the bdaddr tool? | 23:35 |
l9 | NineTeen67Comet: have you configured the proftp? | 23:35 |
StaticLNX | otak:sudo apt-get install netselect returns no instaltion candidate | 23:36 |
NineTeen67Comet | l9: 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 |
mong | StaticLNX: you can download the deb at http://packages.debian.org/stable/net/netselect | 23:37 |
l9 | NineTeen67Comet: might be a configure setting that you have overlooked is it allowed too follow sym links | 23:37 |
StaticLNX | k | 23:38 |
StaticLNX | ty | 23:38 |
NineTeen67Comet | l9: I'm thinking the same thing .. I'll go back to diggin .. | 23:38 |
Tex_Nick | NineTeen67Comet: 1967 Comet was a COOL ride ;) | 23:40 |
NineTeen67Comet | Tex_Nick: I've owned mine since the late 80's .. it's my summer car now .. | 23:41 |
Tex_Nick | NineTeen67Comet: oh man i'm jealous ;-) | 23:41 |

kristenbb | As 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 |
bekks | kristenbb: Then create one, copy all your files to another disk. | 23:44 |
kristenbb | bekks: create one what? | 23:44 |
bekks | kristenbb: Create a backup. | 23:45 |
kristenbb | a backup of my encrypted files? | 23:45 |
kristenbb | is that useful? | 23:45 |
bekks | kristenbb: A backup of your important files - not encrypted. | 23:45 |
kristenbb | well I will as soon as I can access them again... | 23:45 |
bekks | kristenbb: You can. You just decrypted them, as you said. | 23:46 |
kristenbb | I 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 |
kristenbb | so basically, I have the encrypted files, I have the correct password, my question is how to connect the two. | 23:47 |
barnex | hello | 23:50 |
barnex | I recently installed ubuntu 12.04 with full disk encryption | 23:50 |
barnex | what was that encryption? luks? | 23:50 |
chop | hi, 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 |
barnex | ok, nvm, seems it was luks. | 23:51 |
bekks | chop: Use cifs instead of smbfs | 23:52 |
Dr_willis | chop, thats not the right syntax for mount either | 23:52 |
Dr_willis | smb:// is used by nautilus - not mount | 23:53 |
chop | bekks: do you mean apt-get install cifs? | 23:53 |
bekks | chop: No. mount -t cifs ... | 23:53 |
Dr_willis | !samba | 23:54 |
chop | Dr_willis: oh. should i use //192.168... instead? | 23:54 |
ubottu | Samba 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_willis | chop, only if you want it to work... ;P | 23:54 |
Dr_willis | since smb:// is totally NOT what mount wants | 23:54 |
chop | ok thanks guys | 23:54 |
Dr_willis | smb:// is special syntax used by the file manager (nautilus) and gnome apps | 23:54 |
