designbybeck__Here is the 500GB in GParted: http://www.pasteall.org/pic/show.php?id=5192200:00
kristenbbsure00:00
kristenbbsda is a hdd, with 3TB. It has a gpt partition table. It contains only data, divided into 3 partitions (sda1,2,3)00:01
kristenbbsdb is a ssd, with 250 GB, I would assume it has a mbr partition table now, but I'm not sure. at some point earlier today, it was gpt. this is where I'd like ubuntu to be installed.00:01
kristenbbas for grub, no idea.00:01
kristenbbprobably both had a grub at some point.00:02
daftykinsok, if you press enter on the SSD choice does it just give you the grub error again?00:02
kristenbbfrom this listing?00:02
daftykinsyep boot override bit00:02
kristenbbyes it gives the same error00:03
kristenbberror: no such partition00:03
kristenbband a grub rescue prompt.00:03
kristenbbshould I restart and go back to bios?00:03
daftykinsok, go back to the same screen as before and above the boot override, enter the 'Hard Drive BBS priorities'00:03
daftykinsactually00:04
kristenbbyes?00:04
daftykinswhich device does it name - as 'Boot Option #1' ?00:04
kristenbbwindows boot loader00:05
daftykinsi'd hit enter on that to see the choices00:05
daftykinsand pick the SSD00:05
kristenbbthe UEFI - dvd drive, then sda, then p3 -dvd drive00:05
kristenbbthen* UEFI - dvd drive, then sda, then p3 -dvd drive00:05
kristenbbthe ssd is not amongst the choices.00:06
kristenbbonly 4 choices are present.00:06
daftykinsah it might be that hard disk choice is under the BBS option00:06
kristenbbWell, 5 choices are present, but the last one is labeled 'disabled'00:06
daftykinsif you hit escape to ignore that choice then, instead select 'Hard Drive BBS Priorities'00:06
daftykinshopefully the SSD can be selected there00:06
kristenbbyes00:07
daftykinsthen you can change Boot Option #1 to be the SSD00:07
kristenbbthe first one is the hdd, the second is the ssd00:07
kristenbbshould i switch them ?00:07
daftykinsyeah00:07
kristenbbdone.00:07
kristenbbrestart?00:07
daftykinskristenbb: make sure you pick a save and exit option00:08
kristenbbdone00:08
daftykinsi'd expect you might get the same error00:08
kristenbbstill the same error yes.00:08
daftykinsso if we go back in to setup, but this time to the Advanced page00:09
daftykinsinstead of Boot00:09
kristenbbi'm there00:09
daftykins(oh at this point you'll want to know which 'P' number the 3TB HDD was on, that's its' port number)00:09
daftykinsactually it should tell you where we're going00:10
daftykinsso on there, there should be a page for 'SATA configuration' ?00:10
kristenbbyes there is00:10
kristenbbbut regarding this P number, where am I to look for it?00:10
daftykinswell after hitting enter on the SATA config.00:10
kristenbbokay, i'm there00:10
daftykinsit should give you a list of SATA ports with the names of the devices connected beside them00:10
daftykinssince you don't feel comfortable opening up the case, which is absolutely fine, you can disable the port temporarily in here instead00:11
daftykinssound ok?00:11
kristenbbis it normal that I don't see the ssd in there?00:11
daftykinsthe list should have a scroll to it00:12
daftykinsso it might just be further down00:12
kristenbbthere is no scroll, I think i'm seeeing it all.00:12
serekristenbb: how old is your computer?00:12
kristenbbthere are 600:12
kristenbbsere: very recent.00:12
kristenbbsere: like less than a year.00:13
seresome old bios's dont have it but yours should :/00:13
daftykinsi'd have expected the SSD to be on SATA6G_1 or _2 if those are listed00:13
daftykinsbut it's the 3TB HDD you'd be wanting to disable00:14
silareStupid question: Is there a way to install GNOME 2 on 13.04? I miss the GNOME 2 interface, but MATE breaks a lot of the things I used to be able to get working with GNOME 2.00:14
kristenbbdaftykins: those are listed, but they are marked as 'disabled' and above it is 'not present'00:14
daftykinsinteresting00:14
daftykinsis the SSD a Samsung 840 series?00:14
kristenbbhmm00:14
kristenbbno00:15
kristenbbit's a patriot00:15
djbenganhi guise00:15
djbengani need a lot of help00:15
daftykinsdo you know if it's a SATA '3' / 6Gbps one?00:15
djbenganlol00:15
daftykinsdjbengan: just ask away00:15
djbengannr 1. My swap drive has stopped working "error in swapdisk, exiting"00:16
daftykinskristenbb: hmm i really would expect to see it listed, back on the 'Boot' page does it have a P number beside the SSD name?00:16
kristenbbdaftykins: the ssd ? I guess it's a 6gbps.00:16
seredjbengan:  df -h see if your swap is mounted00:16
kristenbbdaftykins: no it's a S000:16
i3luefireBen64, ok. im back. it still didnt work00:17
djbenganno swap there...00:17
seredjbengan: did u have one before?00:17
djbenganlol yes00:17
daftykinskristenbb: it's definitely p7x79 not p9x79? the motherboard00:17
seredjbengan: oh ok :)00:18
daftykinskristenbb1: it's definitely p7x79 not p9x79? the motherboard00:18
syntroPidjbengan, is it in fstab?00:18
kristenbb1i think i was disconnected, did i miss anything since i last spoke ?00:18
seredjbengan: check fstab00:18
seredjbengan: for some reason it seems like its not getting mounted00:18
kristenbb1daftykins: oops did I say p7? It's p900:18
=== kristenbb1 is now known as kristenbb
daftykinskristenbb: no problem, i was googling it, people were talking about the p7... but i couldn't find it XD00:19
djbenganswap is there00:19
djbenganand listed in fdisk00:19
daftykinskristenbb: so S0 and not Px huh? i'm gonna try and get to the bottom of this XD00:19
kristenbbyes S000:20
djbengan(there as in there in fstab)00:20
daftykinskristenbb: ok i've worked it out i think00:20
syntroPidjbengan, have you lookeg and your dmesg kernel log for possible causes?00:20
syntroPicomplaints?00:20
daftykinskristenbb: your friend hooked it up to the wrong port, really - for best performance00:20
daftykinskristenbb: and it could also be affecting the installation too00:20
i3luefirecan anyone help me with this grub issue00:20
sereyea check your logs and see why its not mounted00:21
kristenbbdaftykins: at this point i'd like to remind you that i had 12.04 on this drive before and it worked great00:21
silareDo GNOME 2 panel applets work with GNOME 3 Fallback Mode?00:21
daftykinskristenbb: ah right, it probably had less boot issues with the particular quirk i've identified. that SATA config page, did it list the 3TB drive?00:22
djbenganAdding 1020924k swap on /dev/sda3.  Priority:-1 extents:1 across:1020924k SS00:22
kristenbbdaftykins: so I'm not sure whether switching the wires around would make it work for a strange reason00:22
djbenganBad swap entry:4000000:22
djbenganvma_ops>panic00:22
daftykinskristenbb: it'd reduce complications to my mind, but i understand your reluctance to mess with what's worked before00:22
seredjbengan: is that with swapon?00:22
djbenganSwap stopped00:23
djbenganT_T00:23
kristenbbdaftykins: where's the sata list again?00:23
daftykinskristenbb: advanced -> sata configuration00:23
syntroPidjbengan, do you have the latest kernel update?00:23
kristenbbyes it does list the hdd00:23
kristenbband the dvd drive, too00:23
kristenbbbut that's it00:23
kristenbb2 out of 600:23
daftykinskristenbb: you can change the 3TB HDD's port to disabled on here00:24
seredjbengan: , too00:24
sere19:23 < kristenbb> but that's it00:24
djbenganI guess so syntroPo00:24
djbengandid an update 10 mins ago00:24
seredjbengan: https://bugs.launchpad.net/ubuntu/+source/linux/+bug/117566000:24
ubottuLaunchpad bug 1175660 in linux (Ubuntu) ""BUG: unable to handle kernel paging request at 000000080000003a", "swap_free: Bad swap file entry" and other weirdness during boot since 3.8.0-18" [Medium,Confirmed]00:24
kristenbbdaftykins: wait, what?00:25
kristenbbdaftykins: they all are disabled here00:25
kristenbbdaftykins: all 6 of them00:25
djbengansere, it's the same thing im experiencing!00:25
daftykinsO_O00:25
daftykinskristenbb: they don't look like: http://home.comcast.net/~boogie3/ADVANCED%20SATA%20CONFIG%202.jpg ?00:26
kristenbbsere: i'm glad you have 19:23 because here i have 2am, and still not close to a solution :(00:26
seredjbengan: its seems like it doesnt affect anything... i could be wrong00:27
daftykinskristenbb: i thought i was bad at 1:27am, you in europe?00:27
djbenganwell, my swap isnt mounted, so i guess it could be a bad thing.00:27
serekristenbb: hehe oh wow :/00:27
syntroPidjbengan, maybe you could try reading that bugreport or sth like update-initramfs -u00:27
kristenbbdaftykins: well yeah this is what i'm seeing, but they're all disabled, and 2 of them (SATA3G_3 and 4) have labels on them, mentioning hdd and dvd drive00:27
djbengantrying suggested upstream kernel00:28
djbenganbrb00:28
daftykinskristenbb: so you hit enter on them and the other choice is enabled? :S00:28
daftykinswhy on earth would someone have disabled them all O_O00:28
serekristenbb: so your trying to boot a flash i take it?00:28
kristenbbthat would be the other choice, yes00:28
kristenbbsere: not even close00:29
daftykinskristenbb: alright well, earlier you mentioned you saw messages relating to EFI when you boot the ubuntu install media yeah? is it on a DVD?00:29
kristenbbdaftykins: what does this enabled/disabled mean anyway? it certainly doesn't prevent these devices from being used...00:29
daftykinskristenbb: yeah seems like Linux just goes 'well you may say disabled but i say... i do what i want!'00:30
daftykinswhich is why pulling cables is always so much easier :(00:30
seredaftykins: the tux knows all00:30
daftykinssure does00:30
Tux:300:30
daftykinshe be probin' yr ports00:30

daftykinsnah00:31
daftykinsSATA port probing00:31
i3luefirewho is good with grub and intel z77 mobos?00:31
daftykinsnot Ubuntu apparently00:31
daftykins;x00:31
kristenbbdaftykins: one of the very first times I tried to install 13.04, around 5 days ago, I chose 'encrypt full drive'. With it came the option to use 'EFI', whatever it meant. When you click on 'encrypt full drive', this efi option comes by default.00:31
kristenbbdaftykins: it mentions it's for improved snapshots or something like that.00:32
daftykinskristenbb: but that installation never worked, right?00:32
kristenbbright00:32
kristenbbbut i think this efi sticked through all subsequent installations00:32
daftykinsdo you see anything EFI related when you boot your install disc?00:32
=== phelps_ is now known as phekos
daftykinskristenbb: or only during installation then, choosing encryption as you say?00:32
kristenbbdaftykins: no, not really. But i saw this message once when doing a manual install, i don't recall if you were already here00:33
djbenganSwap is working!00:33
djbenganHurra!00:33
seredjbengan: gj :)00:33
daftykinskristenbb: have you been installing from DVD?00:33
kristenbbyes00:33
djbenganMoar questions:00:34
daftykinskristenbb: what i'd say from here, is boot the livecd again, nuke the SSD completely and try another install. i don't like that it doesn't even come up as sda itself though. i always want my OS drive to come up as sda when i'm installing00:34
kristenbbwhen i did a manual installation, it mentioned something along the lines of: warning: you should keep 30mb for efi at the beginning of the drive. proceed anyway?       and i was told to proceed00:34
daftykinskristenbb: i feel the only way to do that is to disconnect the 3TB drive whilst performing the install00:35
daftykinskristenbb: yeah it was wanting to partition the drive for an EFI installation, not a legacy one - could be a related problem, i'm not 100% sure00:35
kristenbbi think that's gonna be for another day then, but i've done similar things over and over00:35
daftykinskristenbb: sure, ok i've got a few thoughts to share first then00:36
kristenbbi don't know what changed here, so i would expect that i'd still get the same error00:36
syntroPikristenbb, did you install it on a GPT partition?00:36
kristenbbsyntroPi: yeah maybe at some point, but i think now it's a mbr, I've used gparted to make this change.00:36
daftykinskristenbb: one is, i'd boot the LiveDVD and run a partitioning tool to nuke the SSD and make it a standard MBR based drive, have the 3TB HDD physically disconnected from the system and then install to the SSD00:36
djbenganWhen used for a longer period of time displaying of things starts to act up, and, after 5 minutes of chopping upp images/videos, the system will become so slow i cant even go in to tty. Im on Novaue and ubuntu 13.0400:36
dr_willisother day someone instgalled to a gpt. i think it defaulted to making a fat32 partion  a / (ext4) then a swap partiotion   if i recall..00:37
daftykinskristenbb: also if i owned that system, my SSD would be connected to the onboard 6Gbps SATA ports, not the Marvell external controller which i suspect is what it's connected to right now00:37
dr_willisthe fatre was like 30-60mb in size00:37
dr_willisfat3200:37
daftykinsi know that windows creates 3 partitions when installed EFI style00:38
daftykinsnot sure if Linux has to too00:38
syntroPikristenbb, if i were in your position i would disconnect the other drive, secure erase that ssd and google for a suitable GPT partition layout for EFI without secure boot00:38
djbenganif you ask demsg, nouveau just screms about memory traps. the intresting part is that i need to boot and reboot three times after this happening to even get into x again.00:39
daftykinskristenbb: i don't know if you agree with my ideas there but i'm pretty old hat when it comes to the hardware front, so that tends to be my thinking. there's probably no reason it wouldn't install whilst the SSD is connected to the Marvell controller, but i think it's confusing things. certainly is by having both disks attached and the SSD come up to setup as 'sdb'00:39
daftykinssyntroPi: agreed, although why install EFI at all? i'd go MBR00:39
syntroPidjbengan, maybe try booting with nomodeset (my old GT240 only works that way with noveau: forced to use nvidia)00:40
daftykinsand thus legacy install00:40
JakeyBearhello?00:40
daftykinshi00:40
kristenbbdaftykins: well let's try all this another day then. It's been a quite few hours and it's getting late00:40
syntroPidaftykins, if its in biosmode below 2TB: MBR, EFI i would go with GPT since thats the ng tech00:40
kristenbbthank you for your helpp this farr00:41
kristenbband to all others00:41
JakeyBeari  need help with my computer00:41
javier_hi. how do I get either clementine or rhythmbox to play m4p files?00:41
kristenbbsee you00:41
daftykinskristenbb: indeed, whoever helps you next, mention the funky SATA config00:41
kristenbbok00:41
daftykinskristenbb: good luck with it00:41
kristenbbty00:41
serekristenbb: see ya00:41
kristenbbbye00:41
daftykinsJakeyBear: ask away with what you're having trouble with00:41
daftykinsah don't you just hate it when you can't just reach into someones house and fix their stuff :D00:42
JakeyBearI need to just completly destroy everything on my compture and start over00:42
daftykinsprobably safer that way though :P00:42
daftykinsJakeyBear: boot a liveCD and nuke away then?00:42
daftykinsJakeyBear: assuming you don't want to keep any data00:42
JakeyBearI tried didnt work00:42
daftykinswhat happened?00:42
JakeyBearI am using a super old computer and im trying to teach myself the basics of computer use00:43
danishhallo00:44
JakeyBearbut this computer im using is a super old handme down00:44
JakeyBeari cant access anything00:44
daftykinsJakeyBear: ah ok. so it has some version of ubuntu already but you want to start afresh?00:44
JakeyBeari just need a fresh computer, i dont need to save anything00:45
daftykinsJakeyBear: ok. do you have a version of ubuntu on a CD or USB flash drive to boot from then?00:45
daftykinsand is it the same as the one that is installed on there already?00:45
JakeyBeari downloaded different versions onto a cd and tried that it didnt work(i know very little about open source computers)00:46
daftykinswhat part didn't work?00:46
JakeyBeari just dont know, this computer used to have windows xp00:48
JakeyBearbut my brother completly uninstalled00:48
daftykinsok00:48
daftykinsare you wanting to go back to XP or just have Ubuntu on its' own?00:48
GammaX-homeI have a thumb drive that the formatting apparently is messed up on it and it is giving a RO code and I can not seem to format it at all.... any thoughts?00:49
JakeyBeari have a mac and a windows 7 computer, i just want this peice of garbage so i can learn baisc coding and stuff00:49
=== bazhang_ is now known as bazhang
daftykinsGammaX-home: gparted nuke it?00:50
GammaX-homedaftykins, no I had a program in windows format it to ext4...00:50
GammaX-homenow Its ro and cant be read...00:50
daftykinsJakeyBear: so if you pick what OS you want to install on it, or if you have one on CD/DVD already, then you want to discover how to boot from discs if you don't know already and install whilst wiping the entire hard disk00:51
JakeyBear(is there a way to stop these joining and timing out messages?)00:51
daftykinsyou can ignore joins/parts depending on what IRC client you're using00:51
JakeyBeari basically have no clue what i am doing and i just want to have a good running ubuntu computer, with all of this crap wiped off of it00:52
Ben64JakeyBear: put ubuntu on flash drive, install it, done00:53
daftykinsBen64: i best let you take over, bed time for me! :D00:53
JakeyBearcant computer is to old only accepts discs00:53
Ben64burn ubuntu on a disc, install it, done00:54
DouglasKJakeyBear, ok then, download the disc image from ubuntu.com, burn it.00:54
Ben64probably have to use a dvd, or the mini iso00:54
JakeyBearwhich ubuntu there is like hundreds!00:54
qinJakeyBear: under 500mb of ram?00:54
Ben64what are the specs of the computer?00:55
cornchipon  a cd any distro before 12 will fit on a cd00:55
JakeyBeardont know what that means or how i check that00:55
syntroPiJakeyBear, look at latest release here http://releases.ubuntu.com/13.04/00:55
Ben64does it have a model number? like HP dv800000:55
JakeyBearwhere do i look for a model number?00:56
Ben64well is it made by a company or is it custom00:56
syntroPiJakeyBear, try to find out if it supports x64 mode but if its very old id guess you should go with i386 desktop00:56
daftykinssyntroPi: way to start simple :D00:57
JakeyBearit is so old it still uses purple and green mouse/keyboards00:57
cornchipfake00:57
JakeyBeari dont know how to check any of my computer stats00:57
i3luefire_SERVERis the boot-repair program safe/good?00:57
Ben64JakeyBear: you'll need to look at it...00:57
Ben64i3luefire_SERVER: yep00:58
JakeyBearhow...?00:58
Ben64eyes00:58
JakeyBearlook where?00:58
OerHeksor go into the bios,, so the info won't roll away00:58
syntroPiJakeyBear, x64 gives you the option for more than 4GB of RAN00:58
javier_hi. I have a bunch of itunes music and am using clementine. I was wondering how to play m4p (and other itunes formats) and came across AtomicParsley. Is there an easier way to get clementine to read? I know vlc will work but I like clementines UI00:58
JakeyBeari am a complete nooblet i have no clue what your saying or how to check it00:59
JakeyBeari do know how to open terminal00:59
JakeyBearthats about it00:59

dr_willisthat low end/old of a cpu..  you may want to go with 12.04 lubuntu.. (but i  dont know what the original question was)01:06
dr_willis32bit. ;)  unless you got loads of ram01:07
JakeyBearI do know my brother installed different RAM than what it came with01:07
dr_willisthe 'free' command shows  the amount of ram01:07
dr_willisid be suprised if it had more then 4 gb of ram01:08
JakeyBearwhat number am i looking for?01:08
dr_willisno idea. i dont have the free output memorized01:08
OerHekshit the first big number :-)01:09
JakeyBearit says mem total 207590401:09

dr_willis!es01:10
ubottuEn la mayoría de los canales de Ubuntu, se habla sólo en inglés. Si busca ayuda en español entre al canal #ubuntu-es; escriba "/join #ubuntu-es" (sin comillas) y presione intro.01:10
OerHeksmaybe Xubuntu ..01:10
JakeyBearokay so know what?01:11
DouglasKThat, or lubuntu is quite light too.01:11

g-mauriziI need a little suggestion to put me on the right track @google, I use racoon & ipsec-tools for an ipsec/l2tp server solution using PSK, I know little about the various ipsec authentication methods(but I'm trying to learn), I need to know what type of ipsec/l2tp implementation  companies like strong vpn use(what security type? xauth/hybrid/etc) that allows you to use a username/password without01:25

gulag2012silly little annoyances. I  rm -r both floppy drives I never installed in media/username. I can't get rid of the icon in file manager?01:47
nasOkay, I'm wanting to use Ubuntu alongside on Windows 7, but I'm stuck on which Installation type I should use. Could one of you help me01:47
khearis there any significant advantage to getting the 64-bit version of ubuntu instead of the 32-bit one (i've got 4GB of RAM)? everything is still available as 32-bit versions, but not everything is necessarily available as 64-bit, i assume?01:49
gulag2012Go with the 64 if you have 4 gigs01:50
nasLike I have a /dev/sda 1 2 and 3, but 1 and 2 are Windows 7 uploader and Windows 7 Recovery Environment01:51
nas3 is nothing, and01:52
kheargulag2012: shouldn't that still be pretty much ok on 32-bit? i'm just afraid there will be some extra hassle with the 64-bit version, however minimal, that i can avoid on 32-bit without any significant penalty on performance.01:52
nasIt says use as Ext4 3 2, ReiserFS, btrfs, hfs, ifs, FAT16, FAT32 file, and ntfs, swap area or do not use this partition01:52
gulag2012I have a five year old amd desktop. If you have 4 gigs of ram what would be your reason for not using the 64?01:53
gulag2012What version of Ubuntu are you going to install?01:55
TreaverHey guys01:55
sawjigkhear, if you have a 64 bit processor there's no reason to go 32 bit unless you know you need to.01:55
phunyguykhear and gulag2012, 32 bits means 4 gig max ram, including video memory.  If you have 4 gigs of ram, and additional memory on your video card, I would suggest 64 bit so you don't lose usable system ram01:56
TreaverDoes anyone here play Minecraft?01:56
phunyguyTreaver: is this a support question?01:56
sawjigkhear, and it you knew you needed 32 bit for some reason you wouldn't be asking in here if you should install 64 bit :D01:56
kheargulag2012: i would probably still need the 32-bit compatibility libraries with some applications01:56
phunyguykhear wasy enough to accomplish in 64 bit01:56
phunyguyeasy enough**01:56
TreaverWell I'm trying to get people to vote for my server? Can you go to : https://minestatus.net/76159-skycraft/vote and vote please! It takes 10 seconds!01:56

phunyguythis is for ubuntu support ONLY01:57
phunyguyTreaver: please.  Do not.01:57
* sawjig wonders if phunyguy has an @hat01:57
gulag2012Khear: I don't know your circumstances, phunyguy is right about the limitations on system ram. What is 3.5 gigs usable on the 32 bit01:57
* phunyguy wonders why it matters01:57
khearsawjig: the system memory is shared with the gpu, so i guess there's no problem there01:57
phunyguykhear: would still be adviseable to go 64 bit01:58
sawjigif it's a 64 bit processor just use 64 bit.01:59
Just_Mehi guys, a quick question. how do i install printer/scanner driver?02:00
kheari guess i could give it a go. i guess i'm only wondering because i don't see an advantage to it, but i see some possible minor inconveniences. and i've always been using the 32-bit version :)02:01
sawjigkhear, there used to be a time when ia32-libs and things like flash worked poorly with a lot of things out of the box but that time has long since passed.02:01
az4z3lJust_Me: https://help.ubuntu.com/community/Printers02:02
khearsawjig: glad to hear. i've just steered clear of it so far, without giving it a second thought02:02
gulag2012Khear: I'm not 100 percent sure, but I remember in windows there was no issues running 32 bit software. In fact I just came across old windows software that worked better in wine than in Windows 7. Go figure?02:02
sawjigkhear, as long as you have a 64 bit processor there's little reason not to use 64 bit now.02:02
kheargulag2012: sure, but it wasn't always that seamless on the linux side. not in practise anyway02:03
sawjigx64_64 procs can run both 32 bit and 64 bit so it's just a matter of what's supported in the system.02:03
phunyguykhear: as sawjig said, that time has long since passed02:03
sawjigkhear, unless you're running something weird, you'll _probably_ have no problems.02:04
DatHow can I get my Proscan LCD TV HDMI Audio to work I thought just an HDMI cable would be enough but it looks like Ubuntu doesn't even see the HDMI audio just the video02:04
phunyguyjust sudo apt-get instal ia32-libs and give it a go02:04
gulag2012Okay, my last stab at linux was 4 years ago. Now everything is wonderful, I could never go back. Still so much to learn.02:04

phunyguyDat, I am fairlty certain that is a bug in pulse-audio02:05
kheargulag2012 sawjig phunyguy : ok, you've all convinced me, thanks. i guess i'll step on the dark side :)02:05
gulag2012OOps except that. I have the same hdmi issue.02:05
phunyguyI think it is fixed in the next kernel update that will come out02:05
phunyguyDat ^^^02:05
gulag2012Khear: Go with 12.04.202:06
phunyguy(going straight from memory)02:06
sawjiggulag2012, why are you telling him to use 12.04?02:06
kheargulag2012: that's actually what i'm currently running, but the 32-bit version. i was planning on installing the latest version02:06
phunyguysawjig: because it is supported for another 4 years02:06
Datphunyguy: was the install for me if not how do I fix pulse-audio02:06
phunyguyDat, you wait for the next kernel update02:07
sawjigphunyguy, there's nothing wrong with 13.04 though.02:07
Datphunyguy: anyway to downgrade to a kernel that works?02:07
sawjigOne of the most coservative releases in a long time.02:07
phunyguysawjig: also there is nothing wrong with 12.04.. why question it?02:07
DatI would I need to revert back to 12.10?02:07
phunyguyDat, that I do not know02:08
gulag2012Aside from the hdmi bug, and a few other things. 13.04 is much better than 12.10.02:08
sawjigphunyguy, why become so defensive over a question ;302:08
phunyguysawjig: seems to me your question was not necessary02:08
phunyguy12.04 has it's place, just like 13.0402:09
sawjigphunyguy, ...02:09
kheargulag2012: hdmi bug? i'm using the hdmi port on my laptop to connect to the monitor, should i be worried?02:09
phunyguykhear: does the monitor have audio?02:10
phunyguyif not, you are fine.02:10
khearphunyguy: no, actually i'm using a dvi adapter02:10
khearphunyguy: ok, good02:10

iKernelHi guys, uber fail when trying to load the drivers provided by the package bcmwl-kernel-source. Get a massive call trace thrown and the drivers fail to load. Running Lubuntu 13.04 on a damn near 10 year old HP Compaq NX9110 Business Notebook, wireless NIC works beautifully in Windows XP (better than most modern laptops). The laptop has 1 spare PCMCIA expansion slot so I could purchase a known good wireless card and simply get that going, but03:17

yeikkvothetech, do you happen to know the command to force it? didn't work for me03:40
MDKwlanyeik, forcing that is going to break a ton of things.03:41
yeikMDKwlan, better suggestion?03:41
MDKwlanYou'll run into a dependency hell issue03:41
MDKwlanReformat and reinstall.03:41
yeikMDKwlan, i can do that if this breaks.03:41
MDKwlanyeik, it told you it will.lol03:42
iKernelGonna have to wait for software updates to finish first03:42
lotuspsychjeseronis: isnt it a part of xscreensaver-data-extras03:42
=== JKL|lejos is now known as JKL1234-
yeikMDKwlan, you don't have any other option than reinstalling03:42
seronislotuspsychje: i -just- went ahead and grabbed source for plain 'xscreensaver' and inside the HACKS directory inside that package is the source for all the individual ones03:43
yeiki already reinstalled on the same model laptop. i just haven't copied everything over.03:43
MDKwlanyeik, not really. You're running a 32 bit os on a 64 bit machine. That or you don't have mutil-arch support. Either case it's really, really weird.03:43
lotuspsychjeseronis: just checked xscreensaver, its inside the extras by default03:44
lotuspsychjeseronis: im a phosphor fan :p03:44
yeikMDKwlan,  ok. I am willing to try it.03:44
seroniswell my primary goal is i want to see how the screensavers impliment the  -window-id argument because I currently use it to render screensavers as a live wallpaper03:44
seronisand im interested in possibly making more live wallpapers for fun03:45
lotuspsychjeseronis: nice idea03:45
MDKwlanSorry seronis what are you having a problem with? Compiz?03:45
seronisMDKwlan:  no im an xfce user.  i just wanted to be able to grab the source for a single screensaver and couldnt figure out how.   problem solved though as it turns out its all or nothing03:46
seronisxscreensavers can run as livewallpaper without modification.  i was just trying to see how they handle that rendering context03:46
MDKwlanseronis, Oh. Yea when I saw the live wallpaper I assumed compiz. Good to hear you got it all squared away :)03:47
lotuspsychjelol03:47
MDKwlaneye-candy stuff not my strong suite lol03:47
seronislotuspsychje: phosphor really?  just looked at it.. is it an RSS feed ?03:47
lotuspsychjeseronis: a guy showed me a new screensaver i never heard of before, electricsheep03:48
lotuspsychjeseronis: yes you can add rss url to it, but i always liked green on black for ubuntu :p03:48
yeikseems to be working03:49
seronislotuspsychje:  well my desktop is now an rss viewer =-)   http://i.imgur.com/ip5XyYd.png03:49
yeikthe key will be in the reboot i guess, thanks MDKwlan, kvothetech03:49
lotuspsychjeseronis: wwow thats neat man! how do you do that>?03:49
MDKwlanyeik, I guess man. Best of luck.03:50
seronislet me put the script in my dropbox03:50
MDKwlanOh wow lotuspsychje that's really cool.03:50
MDKwlanoops03:50
yeikthanks. if it doesn't work, im not out much. i'll reinstall over the partitions, copy my homedir out, and be fine.03:50
MDKwlanseronis, sorry lotuspsychje wrong person :P03:50
lotuspsychjenp :p03:51
seronishttps://dl.dropboxusercontent.com/u/13440285/tdesk03:51
lotuspsychjeseronis: doesnt live wallpaper lag your system?03:51
seronisthats the script i wrote and put in my  ~/bin03:51
seronislotuspsychje: a lot of the screensavers using under 3% cpu03:51
seronisthere are a few that use 60%,  but you just gotta try them out03:52
lotuspsychjeseronis: nice103:52
MDKwlanYou guys are making me want to try this out lol.03:52
seronisanyways that script.. usage for it interprets the first argument as an already installed xscreensaver03:52
seronisso it has to exist or the script will complain.  no arguments just means to disable the last one you started03:53
lotuspsychjeseronis: where you run the script03:53
seronismy  ~/bin folder is in my path so works from anywhere03:54
MDKwlanrandom question. For linux in general, how would i go about running a .c file? Is it just g++ -o filename?03:54
seronisi use IDE (codeblocks) and never can remember the CLI syntax03:55
yokobrhey guys... is there any support for hybrid amd graphics? i have a HD 4250 and a HD 6310 laptop03:55
iKernelReboot required after software update, bbs03:55
seronisbut you dont 'run' a .c file.  compile it (it has to have a valid main function) and run the generated binary03:55
MDKwlancrap. Yea can't tell you the last time I wrote any code lol03:55
yeikMDKwlan, gcc is c g++ is c++03:56
MDKwlanWell yea run compile blah I know03:56
MDKwlanKk. Thanks.03:56
seronisyeik:  not quite..  gcc is the package which will use g++ as the compiler for both C and C++03:56
lotuspsychjeyokobr: i hear some fixed hd audio with kernel update03:56
MDKwlanseronis, I'm a network admin not a programmer :P Still mystical stuff haha03:57
yeikseronis, close enough that it will compile properly with gcc if it doesnt for g++03:57
yokobrlotuspsychje, i said graphics... i have no problems with sound03:57
seronisyeik:  gcc will also call the linker (ar) and other things with proper syntax.  g++ only compiles03:57
seronislotuspsychje:  so try the script ?03:58
MDKwlanYikes guys! I didn't mean to start a war03:58
seroniswar != discussion03:58
seronis=-)03:59
yeikseronis, yes. but he asked for commands, not packages03:59
seronisthe gcc command is still invoked by the user to do the full compile and link03:59
yeiknod, points to gcc, but still the command to compile a .c file04:00
seronisgcc in turn passes off  your file to g++ and ar and the other toolchain apps04:00
yokobrthe latest ati drivers only supports xserver 1.12 and kernel 3.4~04:00
MDKwlanOk, so I have raw C++ code i need to compile it. I assume I'd use gcc -o file?04:00
lotuspsychjeseronis: in wich format should i save the script04:00
seronisformat?  its a plain text file04:00
MDKwlanplain txt04:01

fishcookerhttp://paste.ubuntu.com/5692792/07:38
MonkWitDaFunkUbuntu 12.04 lts has hardware detection for my laptop but lubuntu 13.04 does not07:38
fishcookerwhy there is no that command07:38
fishcookerbecause i refer to this https://help.ubuntu.com/12.04/serverguide/installing-upgrading.html#do-release-upgrade07:38
deckardhow can i see which programs are set to start when ubuntu boots?07:39
MonkWitDaFunkDeckard, you can use task manager07:40
deckardty07:40
MonkWitDaFunkLook for the dash and type it in07:40
susundbergfishcooker: afaik there should be one, is your $PATH wrong or similar07:41
slacker_nlfishcooker: it should be there, if you have update-manager-core installed07:41
susundbergoh slacker_nl is right, dont listen to me07:42
slacker_nlsusundberg: that could be the case as well (wrong PATH)07:42
fishcookerthat's fine susundberg, i appreciate your quick response.. that's nice07:43
slacker_nlfishcooker: dpkg -l update-manager-core if it is installed it should display something like ii update-manager-core07:43
MonkWitDaFunkDoes anybody know if the long term support has better hardware detection than the 6 month cycled releases?07:43

dr_willistry some differnt terminal applications. like terminator, gnome-terminal, good old xterm. and rxvt  perhaps MonkWitDaFunk  see if any work07:49

MonkWitDaFunkIt says lubuntu after choosing english07:54
dr_willisdeckard:  try with a newly made user. or a differnt firefox profile thats using NO extensions07:54
MonkWitDaFunkChoosing english, try lubunu without installing and the screen stays there07:54
dr_willisMonkWitDaFunk:  so on a Live-cd setup.  you select 'try lubuntu' then you get a currupted desktop?07:55
deckardits doing it opening terminal even, does that change things, dr_willis07:55
MonkWitDaFunkSounds like it. Yah07:55
dr_willisdeckard:  i would login at the console. and make a new user.. see if they have the same issue07:55

This mistake is obvious since /usr/lib/php5/20090626 dont exists. Its called /usr/lib/php5/20100525 on the machine. What i however do not understand is why apache want to look in the wrong place. Any ideas?08:04
Questionyes i'm only user on my pc ... guest=false08:04
testuserthis is deckard, sorry08:05
dr_willistestuser:  why not reset the setting files/move them to a backup directory...08:05
testuseris there an easy option to do that?08:05
dr_willisrename your .config dir.. and see if it fixs things08:05
dr_willistheres dozens of other config files in the users home also.   that might be affecting things.08:06
testuserspeaking to me dr_willis08:06
dr_willishard core approach.. move most EVERY .* file to a backup directory08:06
dr_willisexcept for .gvfs and i think..08:06
dr_willisthen see if the user can log in08:06
dr_willisaskubuntu.com had detailed guides on 'resetting  settings back to defaults'  i recall08:06
testuseri prefer to setup a new user from scratch, how can i delete the old user account?08:07
dr_willisno idea. i dont see the point in it.. it would be the same as if you deleted all that users setting files..08:07
dr_willisif you insist on deleting a user.. make SURE you have users with root/sudo rights first08:07
testuseri can make a new user, how would i give it root rights?08:08

dr_willisclarify what you mean fishcooker ..08:17
slacker_nlShambat: depends on the amount of cores you have iirc08:18

dr_willisi cant recall where but i saw mine showing like 250% used once on a quad core ssytem ;)08:19
fishcookernot like the server guide08:19
dr_willisfishcooker: because the  cmdline pased to the kernel was  the  line    '   quiet   '08:19
dr_willison a desktop machine the default cmdline would be 'quiet nosplash '   and perhaos other options as well08:20

blech_silly me to think setting it as admin was the answer08:29

dr_willisblech_:  so as that user if you do a  'sudo ls -l /'  does it work?08:30
blech_ill try08:30
dr_willisor just 'sudo ls'  ;)08:31
blech_says i am not int he sudoers file08:31
llutzto test for sudo, you'd use " sudo -l"08:31
blech_kingtut is sending me racist ims lol08:32
dr_willisso im not sure how you tried to give that user sudo/admin rights  but it apareently dident work08:32
dr_willisyou DID logout/backin as that user after giving them the sudo rights?08:32
blech_i created a new account and set it to admin, i thought that was the right thing08:32
blech_yes i think i did08:32
dr_willisdouble check perhaps? llogin at the console as that user and see if 'sudo -l' works08:33
blech_i dont know how to do that08:33
Sylvie_hi, I just upgraded from 12.04 to 13.04 and I can no longer connect to the wireless08:34
Sylvie_I'm using a wired connection right now08:34
dr_willisalt-ctrl-f1 through f6 get to the consoles. alt-ctrl-f7 gets back to the X desktop08:34
Vraaghetmaarcheck your wireless card is ctivated in your bios08:34
Sylvie_my husband's computer got upgraded just the same and everything went well on his. We both have Dell XPS computers (although mine is a Studio)08:34
Sylvie_Vraaghetmaar, I just upgraded and rebooted. Everything was fine before08:35
nicholas__Have a querry about workrave - it shows in the launcher, but when I close it from there, it shuts down.08:35
nicholas__Doesn't show in system tray08:35
nicholas__any way of getting it so it shows in the system tray, and so I can close it from the launcher and have it keep running?08:36
dr_willisin 13.04 i belive theres only a few apps thatg can show up in the system tray. apps are supposed to be moveing to  using the indicator-applet method to show icons at the top right panel08:36
Vraaghetmaarsylvie_ you now what kind of wireless device u.have in your pc08:37
dr_willisomgubuntu and webupd8  blog sites have had a few articals on the sysemtray in 13.04 and getting it working  with older apps08:37
Sylvie_Vraaghetmaar, not sure, no08:37
nicholas__^yea, that works. Basically, what rsi recovey program won't show in the launcher, but will keep running?08:37
Vraaghetmaarsylvie_ type ifconfig in terminal and look the output from the wlan08:38
blech_i restarted and tried sudo -l in terminal, it didnt work08:39
blech_is that what you meant?08:39
=== this is now known as Ajax|Kite
Sylvie_Vraaghetmaar, all I see is "eth0" (wired) and "eth1" (wireless) but neither shows the chipset name08:40
dr_willisblech_:  so that user does not have sudo rights..08:40
blech_ya i guess so, i thought setting it as admin would give it08:40
blech_i just used the GUI, i dont know sudo stuff08:41
=== Kurza is now known as Kurza`
Sylvie_Vraaghetmaar, ok, lspci shows that I have a "Broadcom Corporation BCM4313 802.11b/g/n Wireless LAN Controller (rev 01)"08:41
dr_willisblech_:  that is how you do it.. part of the admin group...   theres cli ways to do it also.. i just dont rember them off hand.08:41
blech_what do you recomend i do now? i cant do anything sudo08:41
blech_make another account?08:41
dr_willisblech_:  you still have your ORIGINAL account that had sudo rights?08:42
blech_nope :(08:42
blech_and i cant make new ones now lol08:42
dr_willisand how did you remove that?08:42
blech_i deleted it from the GUI08:42
dr_williswhy?08:42
blech_it wasnt going to be used anymore and it had personal files08:43
dr_willisyou deletered it befor you varified the new account worked?08:43
dr_willisyou should have just deleted the files IN the accounts home.08:43
Vraaghetmaarsylvie_ i know.there is a driver for your wireless card i.have the same.one08:43
blech_i did that to, it still auto logged me out after resetting08:43
blech_so i delted it08:43
Sylvie_Vraaghetmaar, I'm trying to purge the existing package. Will try to reboot and reinstall it08:43
dr_willissounds like you missed some config files.. and now you sort of painted yourself into a corner.08:44
blech_so i guess that means several hours installing windows then ubuntu again?08:44
dr_williswhy would you need to install windows?08:44
blech_i want it08:44
dr_williswhat does that have to do with anything at all08:44
blech_i assume i need to einstall ubuntu to get it to work?08:44
dr_willisso? why would you think you need to REINSTALL windows?08:45
blech_i only know how to do that by clean install08:45
blech_which means, windows then ubuntu?08:45
dr_willistheres no need to reinstall windows if you want to reinstall ubuntu.. i dont see why you would think that.08:45
dr_willisyou can reinstall ubuntu and tellit to use the existing partitions08:45
blech_okay so just load the install cd again and what?08:45
dr_willisor you can fix ubuntu...08:46
dr_williswith the live cd.08:46
dr_willisor the recovery mode08:46
Ben64or just add the new user to the admin group from recovery mode08:46
blech_okay ill try live cd08:46

blech_i dont know how to Ben08:46
Ben64thats what this channel is for08:46
dr_willis!fixroot08:46
blech_ill try08:46

Sylvie_now, all I need is to manually install hplip and the upgrade process will be complete, at last :)08:47
blech_i dont mind installing ubuntu ten times a day, i just dont like having to install both os08:47
blech_il try live cd, ty08:47
dr_willisblech_:  as we said.. you do NOT need to reinstall windows at all.08:48
blech_okay, ben08:48

blech_i woldnt know what to do in recovery mode then08:50

blech_ty09:05
Ben64if it says a group doesn't exist, remove it and try again09:05
bitwizeMy ubtuntu 12.04 install hangs up 2 minutes at startup due to "waiting for network configuration" this happens when I specify eth0 to be STATIC in /etc/network/interfaces, anyone that can push me in the right direction here? I want to rename my NIC and configure it to be static, but the 70-persistent-net.rules is never generated...09:12
cousteauLinux works.  I have ~5 GB of /usr/share and /lib/modules.  How do I tell Ubuntu that it's ok and that I don't need 20 kernel versions anymore?09:13
blech_Ben64,, ty but it says admin doesnt exist09:13
cousteaudo I have to manually uninstall them, or is there a program for that?09:13
Ben64blech_: yeah i said if it said that to remove that group, so just take admin out of the list09:14
blech_rgr that, i will now09:14
blech_take out admin and adm?09:14
raven_can somoene tellme how to install java for firefox? its a .tar.gz file09:15
raven_i also have the .rpm file09:15
raven_which ever is easyer..09:15
MonkeyDustcousteau  try sudo apt-get autoremove09:15
icedwaterraven_: What happens when you double-click the .tar.gz file?09:16
icedwaterAnd, uh, where did you get those files?09:16
* cousteau tries apt-get -s autoremove09:16
raven_it opens in the file manager09:16
raven_dont worry i found a tutorial :)09:16
cousteauMonkeyDust,   apt-get -s autoremove  does nothing09:16
icedwaterraven_: still doesn't answer my question of where it was from :P09:16
icedwaterThe 'uh' was only because I realised I should have asked that first.09:17
cousteau0 upgraded, 0 newly installed, 0 to remove and 19 not upgraded.09:17
MonkeyDustcousteau  try sudo apt-get update;sudo apt-get upgrade09:17
cousteauwait; applying upgrades09:18
raven_ah i got it from the java website09:18
raven_but this tutorial seems to be working so far09:18
icedwaterI see. The tutorial is also from the Java website?09:19
Voisince i installed ubuntu 13.04 it keeps crashing after about every 3rd boot; after booting up the mouse will lag/the screen will lag and on first programm start (for eg firefox, or whatever) it freezes and i cant even switch to shell mode, all i can do is kill my laptop09:19
raven_no09:19
icedwaterI'm a little puzzled since you said RPM, and you're here, which suggests you should be using Ubuntu.09:19
raven_my tutorial im doing now is to install it though command line09:19
raven_i am using ubuntu09:20
cousteauraven_, good; it's usually easier to write tutorials as command line instructions09:20
cousteauthey don't require a ton of screenshots09:20
icedwaterYup, does the Java website not provide a .deb download, though?09:20
k1l_raven_: so you are aware, that you dont have automatic security updates for java?09:20
cousteauand if there's something I hate, that's video tutorials09:21
icedwatercousteau: well, I take whatever help I can get. Granted, I favour the command line too.09:21
k1l_raven_: i mean even oracle suggest to use openjdk7 for ubuntu :/09:21
raven_i dont know what that means k1l but its installing :D09:21
raven_i have openjdk09:21
raven_but it doesnt work with firefox09:22
blech_Ben64, well i did as you instructed and all i got was the alphabet09:22
cousteauicedwater, the thing is that help transfer is easier in text form than GUI form09:22
icedwaterraven_: You might have considered using one of the plugins from the repository first...09:22
raven_too late lol09:22
cousteau(specially via IRC or forums)09:22
icedwatercousteau: that I definitely agree with.09:22
blech_letters with dashes and explanations09:22
cousteauhowever that makes new linux users think that linux is hard because "you have to do everything via the command line"09:22
icedwaterraven_: good, heh. Let me know if it works, then.09:23
cousteaubut the truth is that "you get most help as command line because it's easier to help that way"09:23
raven_works perfect09:24
dr_willisgiven the extreamly unwieldy 'syntax' ive seen to walk people into finding where some obscure button is in some tab on an advanced dialog button on some weird control tool.. in windows.. L)09:24
dr_willisi prefer a simple 'sudo somecommand foo'09:24
blech_Ben64, ?09:24
Ben64blech_: ?09:26
blech_i did as you said but got the alphabet09:26
Ben64what does that mean09:26
blech_lots of letters with dashes and explanations09:26
Ben64you must not have typed it correctly09:26
blech_sorry may i have it again09:26
Ben641. mount -o remount,rw /dev/null /09:27
cousteaublech_, you got the help for a command09:27
Ben642. usermod -a -G <your username>,adm,cdrom,sudo,dip,plugdev,lpadmin,sambashare <your username>09:27
cousteauthat's not "the alphabet", that's a list of options09:27
Ben64write it down or something09:27
blech_i had09:27
blech_yep i typed it like that, matches paper09:27
Ben64you know you have to literally type your username09:27
silv3r_m00nhi there, I got 2 adsl broadband connections both connected to a switch and my pc connected to the switch, is it possible to use both the internet connections at the same time ? like my pc decides which one is faster and uses that one ?09:27
blech_do i remove the <>09:27
blech_i did09:27
vitimitio/09:27
Ben642. usermod -a -G ben64,adm,cdrom,sudo,dip,plugdev,lpadmin,sambashare ben6409:27
blech_yes i know09:27
Ben64like that09:27
blech_yes09:27
cousteau-h Shows help.   -V Shows version.   -v Verbose mode   -R Do stuff recursively.   etc09:27
blech_ill try again09:27
cousteauIs there a program or something to uninstall old kernel versions?  I don't feel like doing it manually09:29
Ben64bleachbit might09:29
cousteauand if there isn't, how would I do it kernel by kernel?09:30
MonkeyDustcousteau  there used to be ubuntu-tweak, not sure if it's still maintained09:30
dr_williscousteau:  askubuntu,com has some scripts/cli commands to remove all but the current in use kernel09:30
dr_willisbe carefull with thosse commands. ;)09:30
cousteaudr_willis, googling I found a command that involved dpkg | sed09:30
cousteaubut I don't feel safe using regex for system maintenance09:31
dr_williscousteau:  askubuntu.com had about 6 differnt 'cli' ways to do it.09:31
Voimy ubuntu 13.04 freezes on like every third boot _after_ it started up on ffirst programm start; any1 knows that issue? i cant find a fitting lunchpad bug report for that09:31
dr_willisor they described just using synaptic ;)09:31
MonkeyDustcousteau  http://ubuntu-tweak.com/09:31
cousteauMonkeyDust, dr_willis, thanks, I'll try with that09:32
dr_willisim not sure if ubuntu-tweak has the remove old kernel features any more  - i havnet had ubuntu-tweak work properly for m ein ages09:32
icedwaterDoes anyone here know how to remove some languages from the grub menu in the live USB?09:32
icedwaterI mean syslinux.09:32
dr_willisicedwater:  the live usb - uses syslinux i belive not grub.  :) and it would be in the very annoyingly complex syslinux config files on the usb.09:32
cousteauanyway, if I want to remove a specific kernel, what would be the command?  i.e. what package do I remove, and how do I make apt-get autoremove directly without needing a second call to it?  (if possible)09:33
dr_willisive done it ages ago icedwater  but its been a long time. i greped through all the nested config files that seemed to calll each other09:33
cousteau(this is why I preferred aptitude over apt-get...  wonder if aptitude is already usable)09:33
cousteau!aptitude09:33
ubottuaptitude 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.09:33
blech_okay Ben64 , it said cannot lock /etc/passwd; try again later09:33
cousteauhey, ubottu maintainer, I think aptitude was fixed for multiarch09:34
cousteauat least on 12.0409:34
Ben64blech_: thats why you need the first line...09:34
blech_it didnt do nything09:34
blech_the first09:34
icedwaterdr_willis: I know, right?! I "commented" out some languages in langlist and renamed them from xx.tr to _xx.trx, and I had some success.09:34
blech_i tried that to09:34
Ben64it does if typed correctly09:34
blech_mount -o remove,rw  /dev/null /09:34
Ben64mount -o remount,rw /dev/null /09:34
blech_so not remove?09:35
Ben64nope09:35
blech_did i make up remove?09:35
Ben64yep09:35
blech_lol k09:35
blech_ill try09:35
icedwater"some" meaning their entries in the menu were replaced with the language codes rather than the name strings09:36
Ben64it is proving very difficult to get him to type two lines correctly...09:36
Pinnelotcould anyone help me with installing packages for latex?09:36
icedwaterLike instead of "Deutsch" there was "de"09:36
icedwaterPinnelot: try #latex?09:36
icedwaterOh wait, sorry, hang on. Trigger finger :P09:36
icedwaterWhich packages did you need?09:36
Pinnelotokay09:36
Whirhi09:37
Pinnelotthere are a few. acronym for example09:37
WhirI have a problem which is sshfs related, is that a place to ask?09:37
icedwaterapt-cache search acronym latex produced texlive-latex-extra as one of the packages.09:38
MonkeyDust!ask | Whir09:38
ubottuWhir: Please don't ask to ask a question, simply ask the question (all on ONE line and in the channel, so that others can read and follow it easily). If anyone knows the answer they will most likely reply. :-) See also !patience09:38
icedwaterCould you run dpkg -l | grep texlive and see if you get anything installed (ii at the start of the line) ?09:38
Whirk..so I am on a local work machine here..I can easily mount directories from my home server via sshfs to here..my question, how can I disconnect/unmount them? fusermount needs root which I dont have here09:39
ActionParsnipicedwater:  dpkg -l | grep -i texlive | grep ^ii09:40
MonkeyDustWhir  there's also #ubuntu-server09:40
ActionParsnipWhir: are they added in /etcfstab ?09:40
dr_willisthe fusermount command requires the user to be in the fuse group i thought09:40
WhirActionParsnip, no no, I just run an sshfs me@myserv:~/Music Music for example09:42
blech_ty Ben64 it appears i can do all the things with sudo i could not before. So now i just go ahead and setup the new account i made to be like the old?09:42

anuvrathey I broke my apt :( http://pastebin.com/5J420vPg09:43
Guest51667I have lost my partition while reinstalling, so would that be of any help?09:44
Ben64blech_: now you can do whatever you want :D09:44
blech_great, ty09:44
Dalle4Hello, in ubuntu 13.04, is there another way to make the IP static?09:44
Ben64blech_: just try not to break sudo again... :)09:44
Ben64Dalle4: /etc/network/interfaces09:44
musicI had asked before about running ubuntu 12.04 dual boot on presario cq-62 anyone have one of those??09:44
blech_may i tell you the two things i did before it broke? maybe you can tell me which you thnk caused it09:44
Ben64blech_: sure09:44
Guest51667I had two partitions one with the distro and the other with data. I have one which spans the entire hard disk. Is it anyway possible to recover the data using those guidelines (or anything else)?09:45
blech_first, i updated windows , second i had to cut power to the laptop because after updating windows it would not boot09:45
Guest51667I haven't overwritten any data so far. (except for the OS installation anyway)09:45
abdelhello guys I installed 13.04 ubuntu and everything is fine except for my headphones, it doesn't work when i connect my headphones09:45
Ben64Guest51667: look into testdisk09:45
abdeli need help asap09:45
blech_do yuo think the cut power corrupted ubuntu even though it wasnt booted09:45
Guest51667ok Ben6409:45
Ben64blech_: no, it was probably when you created the new user and deleted your old one09:45
blech_no no i mean, i had to create a new user because the original was glitching, do yuo think the hard reboot did it?09:46
blech_started it all09:46
abdelany body with idea on how to solve my headphone issue09:46
ActionParsnipabdel: why is that so urgent?09:46
dr_willisblech_:  i doubt if windows had anything to do with linux,. or the linux filesystem09:46
blech_so maybe the cutting power?09:46
anuvratI broke my apt ... held packages error http://pastebin.com/5J420vPg , is a reinstall the only solution?09:46
abdelbecause i have a class online and i require to use the headphone09:47
ActionParsnipabdel: what is the output of: wget -O alsa-info.sh http://www.alsa-project.org/alsa-info.sh && chmod +x ./alsa-info.sh && ./alsa-info.sh --upload09:47
dr_willisblech_:  if the linux fs was not  in use when you did that.. then i dont see how.09:47
abdellet me check09:47
ActionParsnipabdel: run it all as one command in a terminal09:47
blech_so maybe it just went wrong i guess, because it worked fine till i updates windows, or cut power or ran a windows chedkdisk, oh well09:47
ActionParsnipblech_: you using Wubi?09:48
blech_no09:48
dr_willisi doubt if any of that had anything to do with the linux side09:48
ActionParsnipblech_: good :)09:48
dr_willismore likely some goofy user setting was the issue.09:48
blech_so maybe xubuntu just pooped?09:48
blech_lol09:48
blech_gosh i was s sure it was cutting power09:48

blech_why are there 2 task managers/09:57
MonkeyDustblech_  maybe from different DE's09:58
silv3r_m00nhi there09:58
ActionParsnipMonkeyDust: +109:58
silv3r_m00nmy network is like this, PC ======> Switch =======> 2 routers (192.168.1.1 and 192.168.11)     both routers are connected to their respective isps, need to make ubuntu use both the broadbands09:59
silv3r_m00nis that possible ?09:59
ActionParsnipsilv3r_m00n: look into connection bonding09:59
blech_ty MonkeyDust09:59
silv3r_m00nActionParsnip: bonding combines multiple nics, but i have only 1 nic10:01
llutzsilv3r_m00n: so you would need a 3rd router/gateway   doing the bonding between switch and 2 existing routers10:01
ActionParsnipsilv3r_m00n: you can have a subnic with a sub interface.10:02
silv3r_m00nllutz: not possible from ubuntu directly ?10:02
silv3r_m00nsubnic ?10:02
ActionParsnipsilv3r_m00n: your NIC can have multiple IPs10:02
ActionParsnipsilv3r_m00n: you'd have eth0  then eth0.0 and eth0.110:02
silv3r_m00nActionParsnip: didnt know that, isnt it possible to just use 2 gateways ?10:03
ActionParsnipsorry eth0:0 and eth0:110:03
abdelhello Actionparsnip: av rebooted my pc but still my headphone is now working10:03
silv3r_m00nyou mean create eth0.0 and eth0.1 connect each to separate router and then bond them together to form a eth0:3 and use it ?10:03
ActionParsnipsilv3r_m00n: sure, it will godown the same bit of wire10:03
abdelbut without the headphones the speakers are working fine except for my headphones10:03
silv3r_m00nok, so first step how to create those subnics ?10:04
ActionParsnipabdel: look online for: HP Pavilion dv6 alsa-base.conf     you will need to change that line you added to one which makes it work10:04
abdelcould u please resend the line to me10:05
ActionParsnipabdel: try:  "options snd-hda-intel model=hp-dv5 enable_msi=1"    you will need to run:  gksudo gedit /etc/modprobe.d/alsa-base.conf     to get write access10:06
ActionParsnipabdel: you will be messing with that line til you get sorted10:06
icedwaterActionParsnip: yes, but you should have highlighted Pinnelot with that dpkg/grep pipe :) Though I think packages named texlive should be few enough to not need further filtering.10:06
ActionParsnipicedwater: oh definately10:07

AlbertJBhi, i would appreciate some advice about purchasing an External 2GB HD for backup for Linux (from what I know, Western Digital is not the best option), I mean a disk that I would be able to format to ext4 etc.10:20
CatKillerAlbertJB: any drive will work in theory.10:21
CatKillerWD works well too10:21
CatKillerI personally like Seagate10:21
digitalraouse a tools that help you like http://www.pendrivelinux.com/10:21
AlbertJBthanks CatKiller10:22
AlbertJBCatKiller, and what is best, format it to ext3 or ext4 for backup10:24
LinuxAdminhi, i'm trying to block some traffic with ufw, but traffic do not block10:24
AlbertJBmultimedia and all types of data10:24
CatKillerext4 is newer, why not use ext4. It's all pretty similar anyways10:24
cyclist_2My 10.04 has suddenly developed a memory leak in 2 processes: polkitd and gnome-power-manager; regarding the latter, I can kill it an restart it; but the former is a little trickier to handle as is owned by root; anyway: I suspect that a recent security update has caused this and aim to choose a different kernel version from the one in use now when I next reboot; I already did a lot of research on the subject but all solutions tried did fai10:25
AlbertJBok thanks a lot CatKiller10:25
CatKillerAlbertJB: You could also try newer FS like XFS etc10:25
LinuxAdminon the file /etc/ufw/before.rules I have this line:10:25
LinuxAdmin-A ufw-before-forward -d 192.168.1.0/24 -j REJECT10:26
AlbertJBthank you I'll give it a look10:26
LinuxAdminthis do not block the packets10:26
LinuxAdminwhat is wrong with this?10:26
MonkeyDustLinuxAdmin  it's called iptables, ufw is a frontend for it10:26
LinuxAdmini know iptables, but as long as ubuntu have this frontend, I use it10:27
cyclist_2AlbertJB: I use Freecom and Seagate; of course I have to format them to ext3/4 [depending], but beyond that they behave OK; I do not know if Freecom has 2 GB capacity external hard disks, but Seagate has them and I use 2 of them; hope this helps you10:28
LinuxAdminMonkeyDust, what could be wrong with before.rules file?10:28
LinuxAdminI have that rule before ALLOW rules, so it should be blocked10:28
MonkeyDustLinuxAdmin  not sure, i'm not skilled enough with iptables, just know some basics10:28
AlbertJBthanks cyclist_210:29
cyclist_2AlbertJB: np10:29
LinuxAdminanyone in this channel can help?10:29

Dr_willisSteveBell,  or you can use 'dd' to image the iso striaght to usb10:56
SteveBellhave OS X and win 7 available10:56
rymate1234I use an app called linuxlive10:56
CatKillerUse the default tool recommended on the ubuntu website for Windows10:56
CatKillerworks extremely well10:56
joetacoshow do i get pass the Ubuntu 13.04 installer it hangs after clicking 3rd party and download updates. and sometimes i get a black screen with text10:56
CatKilleralso allows you to have a separate partition for live disk persistence10:56
CatKillerSteveBell: http://www.ubuntu.com/download/desktop/create-a-usb-stick-on-windows10:57
CatKillerSteveBell: To be honest though I think your problem is in your bios10:58
CatKillerit seems to be netbooting instead of booting from USB10:58
CatKillerAre you 100% positive you picked thr right USB drive? Most bios have many many USB drive options, only one is right10:59
SteveBellthanks all for your recommendations. I might just retry with the Universal USB installer recommended on ubuntu.com10:59
rymate1234joetacos: ?11:01
joetacosyea11:02
rymate1234What does the black screen with text say?11:02
joetacoscut here then some kernel error or bug thing11:03
rymate1234Oh dear11:03
rymate1234Sounds like something's wrong with the disk11:03
rymate1234Or USB11:03
CatKiller....or most likely you have some hardware that's unsupported and causes a panic11:03
CatKillerhappens often11:03
CatKillerThere's a few machines on which you won't manage to install Ubuntu because some of the kernel drivers simply won't work11:04
joetacosi spent hours downloading it mulibletimes and copy it to a flash drive it boot up live fine11:04
CatKillerBut you can definitely run the install disk verification11:04
CatKillerah ok, sorry my bad I thought that's what you were doing (running a livecd)11:05
CatKillerIt does that when you install11:05
CatKillerSorry my bad11:05
joetacosyea11:05
CatKillerSo what rymate1234 said is probably a better advice11:05
rymate1234:D11:05

rymate1234majd: That's just for network time11:12
majdrymate1234: yeah, but why are there so many of them?11:12
flintwingelmajd: anything in /var/log/messages relating to ntp?11:12
rymate1234Maybe it connects to multiple servers11:12
majdflintwingel: nothing really - looks like this: http://dpaste.org/rYDq7/11:13
majdshould i kill all those processes/what's the best way to do so?11:16
ShogootIm quite new to php so bare with me :) Im a student and doing a internship... when a link has this syntax <a href="/?page=modules/product&id=436711"> does it point to a webpage called 436711 in a server sturcture module/product/436711.html/php ?11:16
flintwingelmjad: ntpd is just the timeserver daemon. It's possible it can't reach the timerserver you got configured and the processes aren't timing out properly but I'd expect to see something in /var/log/syslog. What happens if you kill them all? DO they respawn?11:17
DJonesShogoot: Probably a question for #php (or could be ##php) rather than the Ubuntu channel11:17
flintwingelSHogoot: no way to tell from URL - it depends entirely on how webserver is configured11:18
majdShogoot: anything after the ? is parameters to a get request, but this is not the best place to ask this question, try #php      http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Hypertext_Transfer_Protocol#Request_methods11:18
majdflintwingel: i haven't try killing them, there are so many of htem! what's the best way to bulk-kill those processes?11:19
CayHello, I have 10 rackservers with Ubuntu 13.04. They are supposedly connected together with an internal network (a switch). The public Internet is available through the network device called em1. But I need to configure the internal network, the switch. I have tried for a couple of days but I fail still. Would someone feel like helping me toubleshoot this?11:20
flintwingelmajd: killall ntpd11:20
argylmajd: Can you paste the netstat output?11:21

I want to be able to copy a string to clipboard, using xclip, then I want to be able to paste the clipboard content into a gui text field (any application really, Konversation, gedit, firefox). The idea then is to create a keyboard shortcut that will first copy the content of a variable (I have this part covered) and then paste it into the currently selected text field (this is13:58

junkyDoes anyone knows a free EDI to code in "Objective C " ?16:22
tyrognube__: Calm down16:22
rat_poisonjunky, you mean IDE?16:23
junkyrat_poison,  yep16:23
tyrognube__: You don't gain anything on giving up right off anyway, all OSs have their problems16:23
appy_kudosMike3620: nethogs may help you16:23
SonikkuAmericajunky: There's always gedit and nano, but NetBeans might be good (not sure if it does Objective-C though)16:24
Mike3620thank you appy_kudos16:24
nube__I agree, but it's quite frustrating...16:24
tyrognube__: First make sure the AMD driver is running, by typing 'glxinfo |grep vendor' in the terminal16:24
appy_kudosMike3620: happy to help16:24
tophyri am looking to clone my linux install from one hard drive, into a (smaller) one. i can't simply dd my partition over, because of that smaller tidbit. i've set up an ext4 fs and mounted it - could this be as simple as just doing 'cp -xa / /mnt/newdrive' ?16:24
appy_kudosMike3620: sudo apt-get install nethogs16:24
rat_poisonjunky, you can use KDevelop16:25
nube__The program 'glxinfo' is currently not installed. You can install it by typing: sudo apt-get install mesa-utils16:25
tophyrspecifically, i'm worried about things like links, permissions, etc.16:25
tyrognube__: Do as it is said in that output16:25
junkyWhich one is the best ? Kdevelop ? gedit ? Nano ?16:25
llutztophyr: you can, "rsync -aux / /new/" would do too16:25
SteveBellhttp://img26.imageshack.us/img26/3509/dgfdgrunningoraclevmvir.png in my case after quiet splash the line continues with $vt_handoff16:25
nube__ae@bathst:~$ glxinfo |grep vendor server glx vendor string: ATI client glx vendor string: ATI OpenGL vendor string: Advanced Micro Devices, Inc.16:25
SteveBellcould that maybe be the root of my trouble?16:25
llutztophyr: just make sure you edit /etc/fstab later to adjust UUIDs etc and rewrite Grub16:25
tophyrllutz: i thought about rsync.. would it be faster? seems like for a start-from-nothing copy, it'd just add overhead16:26
rat_poisonjunky, gedit and nano are text editors, they do not provide the conveniences of a complete IDE16:26
tophyradjusting the UUIDs for the partitions is definitely on my mind, yeah16:26
tyrognube__: Yep so it is running. If you want to configure dual monitors on a proprietary driver, you need to use AMD Catalyst tool, not Display Monitors from GNOME/Unity16:26
karthakon/whois karthakon16:26
rat_poisonjunky, I hope you're not gonna ask emacs vs vi16:26
junkyrat_poison,  Oh okay !16:26
llutztophyr: i'm not benchmarking stuff, i'd guess plain cp would be a bit faster but i prefer rsync (resume later etc.)16:26
tyrograt_poison: Though I use them for programming easy stuff too and they are quite reliable for that xD16:26
appy_kudosrat_poison: Good joke16:27
nube__tyrog: Ok, where do I find AMD CAtalyist tool16:27
tophyrmm, good point, hadn't thought about resume.. although i don't expect to need it16:27
tyrognube__: are you on Unity?16:27
rat_poisonglad I got your attention! Hello! X, xorg.conf or xinitrc question here http://pastebin.com/hnd1ba3D16:27
rat_poisonhehe16:27
nube__tyrog: I think so.. this is a fresh install of Ubunto 13.04, haven't changed anything except as you've instructed recently16:28
junkyrat_poison,  what is it "emacs or vi " ? (I'm french, I don't speak a perfect english )16:28
tyrognube__: open the Dash and search for Catalyst16:28
ActionParsniprat_poison: oh man that is older than most people here16:28
rat_poisonjunky, ah, it is an ancient battle between two kingdoms. there is poetic lore about this epic war, you can google it I guess16:29
nube__tyrog: Ok I found it in catalyst, but it akss me to open it as a superuser to make changes16:29
nube__*found it in dash16:30
rat_poisonjunky, the tale starts like so: Eight Megabytes and Constantly Swapping (Notice the acronym)....16:30
tyrognube__: Close that window. You should open the one that says (Administrative) right after16:30
junkyrat_poison, ok, i'm gonna google it, you are really kinda to answer me without mocking ;D16:30
MonkeyDustrat_poison  MCSE = Most Common System Errors16:30
llutzrat_poison: most people today don't even imagine whats wrong with "Eight Megabytes" ...16:31
tyrognube__: When you search for Catalyst in the Dash, then should appear 2 options, open the one that says Catalyst(Administrative), where you can input your password and then configure Display Settings for Multi-monitor support16:31
nube__ayep16:31
nube__I choose the adminstrator one16:31
nube__enter my password16:31
nube__then the window disappears and nothing happens16:32
rat_poisontyrog, EMACS can be used almost as an operating system replacement if you know what you're doing. Doesn't mean I'd spend the man hours to learn to do that!16:32
tyrograt_poison: lol16:32
tyrognube__: try again. Have you closed the first window?16:32
tyrogthe other Catalyst you had opened before16:33
nube__tyrog: yes I closed that one16:34
tyrognube__: Try to reopen Administrative window. If that fails, run from terminal 'gksudo amdcccle'16:34
junkyBye all :)16:34
rat_poisonnube__, is this a fresh install on a new /home/ partition, or did you have a separate one and you just remounted it?16:34
nube__this is a fresh install16:35
nube__I chose manual16:35
nube__and made a partition for "/16:35
nube__"16:35
nube__and a partition for "swap"16:35
nube__The program 'gksudo' is currently not installed. You can install it by typing: sudo apt-get install gksu16:35
tyrognube__: install it16:35
MonkeyDustnube__  gksudo is part of gksu16:36
rat_poisonnube__,   ok so my suspicion is unfounded, go on. I like people using swap partitions! it's kinda oldschool, I still use it16:36
nube__Ok, now it launched16:36
nube__should I select "Multi-display desktop with display(s) 1" ?16:37

tyrognube_: See? No problem :)16:41
nube_:) sure, but I do hope that in future versions of ubuntu this process is automated as I think less patient users will juts give up rather than following this process16:42
tyrognube_: Maybe from Ubuntu 14.04 with Mir that process is simpler. For now, we have to live with whatever AMD gives us xD16:43
rat_poisontyrog, if AMD doesn't modify its catalyst driver to accomodate Mir, you'll just have to live with the OSS drivers16:47

jockey4herSSH is working on our machine, but it is no longer on the SMB network.  Is there a tool for looking at that type of thing?16:48
rat_poisonichat_web, you have to know either your encryption key or your previous username passwd combo16:49
ichat_webrat_poison:  i know  my user + pass16:49
Skolkomoin16:49
rat_poisonichat_web, you could create a new partition, install ubuntu there and mount your old partition unencrypted if you use the same username pass.16:50
rat_poison(I think)16:50
rat_poisonichat_web, I mean you can do it, I just don't know what happens to the encryption.16:50
ichat_webrat thats not really possible since the hdd is now in a usb case,16:50
rat_poisonichat_web, then you need someone with more ecryptfs-fu than I16:51

But then, you can deinstall the ones which keep pulling in the regular kernels ( linux-image-generic ), which normally it won't let you do because of the apt configurations default.

betraydelisa87 any particular reason you needed to attempt MAKE?18:19
hackoochvx: Yes, you can always add swap later. I think you can create swap in a file using dd and use it though not sure if that will be useful for hibernate or not. I think It should work.18:20

=== Cyberspaceloa is now known as Cyberspacelurker
kristenbbK1rk: so let's try to sum up the problem. I am trying to install ubuntu 13.04 on a ssd (sdb). No other os involved. There is also a sda with data on it. The sda is gpt. When I install it on sdb, it goes well, but then I get "error: no such partition" when I try to launch it. I tried many things in the last 6 days, including around 8 installations, manual or automatic, repairing the grub with a chroot or with a graphical tool, and so forth. What to19:19
=== DouglasKAway is now known as DouglasK
K1rkkristenbb, are you sure your BIOS is booting to sdb?19:19
K1rkIf you installed GRUB on sdb, and your BIOS is booting to sda, you might be finding that you have no boot loader, because there isn't one on sda.19:19
K1rkDoes that make sense?19:20
kristenbbK1rk: yes, I tried booting  to both, I get the same error message.19:20
=== diego is now known as Guest30636
K1rkkristenbb, have you tried installing with sda removed from the machine?  That would eliminate any possibility of an error where you're booting to the wrong drive or installing the boot loader on the wrong drive, etc19:20
kristenbbK1rk: this is the point where I actually left off yesterday, it's something I would have rather avoided, since I am a girl and I'm not good with hardware stuff (I didn't do the setup), and since I know that this setup was able to boot 12.04 just fine.19:22
K1rkkristenbb, hey, my best friend is a girl and I walked her through upgrading her power supply over the phone.  Amazing things do happen. :P19:23
betraydGreygar did you just try 310 nvidia drivers, step back to 304 maybe19:23
K1rkkristenbb, Nevertheless, that's understandable, I just figured that would be an easy way to make sure.19:23
kristenbbbut I mean why change something that is known to be working19:23
K1rkkristenbb, would you mind taking a picture of the "partition not found" error?19:24
K1rkI'd like to see if it looks like a GRUB error, or a BIOS error, etc...19:24
kristenbbK1rk: it's quite simple. It's a black screen, with white letters on it. It says:19:25
kristenbberror: no such partition19:25
kristenbbgrub rescue>19:25
kristenbb(the last line is a prompt)19:25
betraydinow thats a screenshot19:25
K1rkkristenbb, okay so it's a grub error.19:26
K1rkkristenbb, so it sounds like grub is loading which means it's not a bios boot problem.19:26
kristenbbdo you know what I could write from this prompt in order to fix it ? I was told yesterday that this error could be due to a wrong UUID in the grub configuration19:27
K1rkkristenbb, suppose that's possible, though I don't know why the UUID would have become wrong.19:27
K1rkkristenbb, has anyone had you try boot-repair yet?19:27
kristenbbmeaning, a leftover from a previous installation, or something like that19:27
=== DouglasK is now known as DouglasKAway
kristenbbyes, I used the boot repair graphical tool, and I used 'grub install' and 'update-grub' in a chrooted environment.19:28
kristenbb(which I tried installing on both devices, just to make sure)19:28
betraydif you hit tab theres a command to show blkid's19:30
K1rkkristenbb, if you really believe the UUID is the problem... I would try modifying /etc/default/grub, and uncommenting the line "GRUB_DISABLE_LINUX_UUID".  Then it will pass /dev/sd# to Linux instead of a potentially incorrect UUID.  You'll need to update-grub and such after doing the change to the defaults file, of course.19:30

jch2osls -l /bin/sh lrwxrwxrwx 1 root root 4 Mar 29  2012 /bin/sh -> dash19:31
K1rkkristenbb, yeah, unless you can boot into recovery mode from grub, which it sounds like you won't be able to.19:31
K1rkkristenbb, these are the lines in the grub defaults file and some explanations.  https://help.ubuntu.com/community/Grub2/Setup#Specific_Entries19:32
K1rkkristenbb, if you set GRUB_DISABLE_LINUX_UUID="true" it should pass /dev/sdb1 instead of a UUID.19:32

jch2osbut if I try to ssh in as usera, it says I don't have permission to the home directory and /bin/bash permission denied19:33
kristenbbK1rk: oh yeah another point that comes to mind and that I forgot to mention. Yesterday I was helped to do an installation step by step, and right before installing I get a warning saying I just reserve 30MB of partition to EFI. If that helps to understand the issue...19:33
kristenbbI should* reserve19:34
K1rkkristenbb, ah yeah I had an annoying problem like this with one of my huge deployments....19:34
K1rkkristenbb, I had 800 computers I'd installed this image onto, and a GRUB update was making them all drop like flies.19:34
K1rkI came up with a "fix".19:34
K1rkkristenbb, if your disk is GPT but you aren't using a "proper GUID partition table", GRUB install will fail.19:35
K1rkkristenbb, you can either fix your partition table as described (with the extra free space), or switch to an MS-DOS partition table, or use --force when installing grub.19:35
K1rkkristenbb, grub-install /dev/sdb --force19:35
kristenbbK1rk: i don't think the sdb is gpt anymore. It was at one point, but someone had me switch it back to mbr during the 6th install yesterday.19:35
K1rkkristenbb, when you ran grub-install, I imagine you saw that error that said something about that space... and then "embedding is unreliable and not recommended" etc.19:35
kristenbbK1rk: no I don't recall having such an error.19:36
Rapphi everyone19:37
K1rkkristenbb, okay you might have a different problem than the one I had to deal with, but it sounds like they could still be related.  Did you get any errors during grub-install?19:37
kristenbbK1rk: so wait, you gave me many options there, --force, fix with extra space, swith to msdos, update grub, ... which one should I do first ?19:37
Rappi am in the progress of upgrading from 11 to 12.04 (precise?)19:37
Rappduring the update the process, my desktop vanished.19:37
kristenbbK1rk: no i didn't get any errors, it went fine but didn't help to solve my issue.19:37
K1rkkristenbb, if --force fixes it, you'll want to do something better because that's just a band-aid. The next GRUB update will break it again.19:37
Rappi stil have X and the mouse cursor, and it seems that the programs are all still running19:37
Rappbut the windows are not shown anymore. any ideas? can i restart the machine? dpkg seems to have finished. don't see it in the process list anymore19:38
K1rkkristenbb, I chose to switch to ms-dos partition table because nobody could tell me what a proper GUID partition table is. It seems there are varying "opinions" on it.  To me, it should be fact...19:38
K1rkkristenbb, do you have a UEFI BIOS?19:38
kristenbbK1rk: the problem is, sdb now is msdos, but the problem is still here.19:38
kristenbbK1rk: yes I do19:39
elisa87./sift /research/jalal/sdvb/sd-vbs/benchmarks/mser/data/vgaqemu: uncaught target signal 4 (Illegal instruction) - core dumpedIllegal instruction (core dumped)  (do you know how to solve this?)19:39
K1rkkristenbb, is it in "compatibility mode"?19:39
kristenbbK1rk: I don't know what this means.19:39
K1rkkristenbb, don't hold me to it, but I *think* UEFI computers need to boot to a GPT drive unless they're in compatibility mode.19:39
kristenbbuefi bios means a bios where the mouse works, right ?19:40
K1rkkristenbb, then again all of our UEFI machines boot up just fine to my MBR\MS-DOS partitioning.19:40
th0rK1rk: I have been following kristenbb 's issue for a couple of days and have been surprised no one else has come to that point.19:40
K1rkkristenbb, I've never heard it defined that way.19:40
K1rkth0r, yeah?19:40
K1rkth0r, why didn't you mention it then?19:40
Guest30636hello, my software-center stopped working, i tried using console and it shows this Translation has an invalid value 'I-->D' for default text direction.  Defaulting to left-to-right19:40
th0rK1rk: I have no experience with UEFI, hadn't even read anything about it until kristenbb mentioned the ssb was identifying as EFI. Have been watching the issue in the hopes of learning something about it <smile>19:41
kristenbbK1rk: in that case i'm not 100% sure I have a uefi bios, but I think so. it's a very recent mother board.19:41
K1rkkristenbb, UEFI is kind of messy... it deals with "operating system licenses" and stuff I think has no place on a computer.  But it's possible that the UEFI is messing with your boot process because of this licensing.19:42
kristenbbK1rk: so what would you like me to try from here?19:42

K1rkkristenbb, th0r, this is the BIOS setting I had to change to make MS-DOS \ MBR partitions work properly.  This was the *only way* I could get these machines to boot with a 10.04 image I was re-using from older legacy computers. http://binaryimpulse.com/wp-content/uploads/2013/05/2013-05-23-14.44.27.jpg19:47
K1rkkristenbb, I would look for settings like that in your BIOS...19:47

K1rkth0r, a disk drive itself cannot be EFI.19:50
kristenbbK1rk: so again, what is it that you want me to try exactly ? this is all quite gibberish to me...19:50
K1rkth0r, a BIOS is EFI, and a partitioning scheme is EFI compliant.19:50
th0rK1rk: which is why I didn't say anything <smile>19:50
K1rkkristenbb, look in your BIOS for the boot\startup settings and find "legacy boot" options...make sure those are turned on.19:50
kristenbbso shut down the live cd ? it's loaded right now...19:51
K1rkkristenbb, if you wanted to try my grub-install /dev/sdb --force, feel free to do that while you're in the Live CD...19:51
K1rkOtherwise I'd head over to the BIOS and check for your UEFI Legacy Boot settings.19:51
K1rkth0r, as I understand it, GPT partitioning table is EFI compliant.19:52
Kitt3nYup19:52
K1rkth0r, when I took a normal MS-DOS partitioned Ubuntu 10.04 image that has worked on hundreds of computers, I imaged these new ThinkPads, and they didn't boot up.  I found those BIOS settings, and changing them resolved the problem.19:52
kristenbbK1rk: i would just like to mention that sdb is still gpt, although I had set it to mbr yesterday.19:52
K1rkkristenbb, yeah that's okay... if it's not proper GPT it could still mess with the EFI.19:53

erolsseems like nobody experienced the problem with btrfs in 12.0420:51
lmatsammy: I think so...20:51
tableslmat, no it doesn't say grub20:51
lmatsammy: ubuntu does something different with the console and I don't know how it works.20:51
sammylmat: Ill see what happens after a reboot (since I was playing with conosle-setup lastnight when brightness was borked) and see if that did it. if not i'll investigate /etc/default/grub and poke around askubuntu. ill let you know if I find out what 'something different' ubuntu does ;)20:52
lmatsammy: What you're getting I think is the default behaviour. Ubuntu automatically makes the frame buffer fit the screen and I don't think it's through grub configuration.20:52
lmatsammy: I remember that I installed Arch Linux and worked for a while to get the frame buffer to take up the whole screen, but when I installed Ubuntu, it Just Worked.20:53
lmatsammy: Which sounds nice...except it's terribly annoying20:53
sammylmat: that sounds like what happened, it seems to have reverted to default. xdiagnose has some options (I think it adds to the kernel cmdline in grub) that disable the initial fb device for the bootspalsh20:53

Micha|iPhoneWhat's the "downloading language packs" stage of the installer on 12.04?21:02
lmatsammy, I need you!!21:02
tyrogMicha|iPhone: its downloading the language packages for the language you selected for your system, since not all language packs are included in the DVD itself21:03
Micha|iPhonetyrog: Pretty sure I wasn't asked a language, except for the keyboard (en-us)21:03
sleewokyeats, I think it's going to be easier for me to just re-install the OS (and then just set the correct value the first time). I appreciate the attempt to help though.21:03
Micha|iPhoneAlso, it said it was downloading libreoffice21:03
lmatsleewok: don't neglect the VM.21:04
tyrogMicha|iPhone: What media are you using? Ubuntu 12.04.2 liveCD from the website?21:04
sleewok:)21:04
yeatssleewok: okay sure21:04
lmatsleewok: If you need to practice something or run down a bug like that, a vm is really easy to get going :)21:04
tyrogMicha|iPhone: the language is asked in the first step of the installer21:04
lmatsleewok: and cheap :) And it doesn't wreck your computer.21:04
Micha|iPhonetyrog: The 12.04.2 amd64 desktop iso from bittorrent off a liveusb21:04
sleewoklmat, I've got it running in a vm, i'll just revert to before i broke it21:04

sleewoklmat, for some reason didn't think of that, so thanks for the reminder :)21:05
Micha|iPhonetyrog: Anyway, I selected English21:05
Micha|iPhoneAnd, it was downloading libreoffice-something21:05
tyrogMicha|iPhone: http://www.ubuntu.com/download/desktop/install-desktop-long-term-support see the first screenshot on this page, that is the point where you select the language21:05
yeatssleewok: still good to learn how to fix dpkg/apt errors if you're serious about self-administration IMHO, but I understand doing what's easiest ;-)21:05
Micha|iPhoneYeah, I remember that21:06
sleewokyeats, yeah, If i only had the time21:06
Micha|iPhoneWhy was it downloading libreoffice-something and calling it a language pack, thoigh?21:06
tyrogMicha|iPhone: Then you selected the checkbox "Download updates while installing", so it is fetching the remaining language packs from the mirrors, as long as you are connected to the Internet during install21:06
tyrogMicha|iPhone: because libreoffice needs language packs too :)21:07
Micha|iPhone"remaining" == for every other langiage besides English?21:07
luisjaime_Good day for all:  somebody know, how patching lyx?21:07
tyrogMicha|iPhone: no, it only downloads packages for the language YOU selected21:07

lmatsammy: Again, some Ubuntu magic going on here.21:17
sammylmat: haha, I see. no problem, Ill check to see if xdiagnose needs a bug filed later. as far as how to verify, Id check wikipedia21:17
lmatsammy: In arch, I had to specify "KEEP" (and the proper screen resolution or VGA mode), but in Ubuntu, don't touch.21:17
sammylmat: they have a pretty extensive database of chipsets and video cards21:17
lmatsammy: (is that in answer to my question?)21:18
sammyyou could even use google: `site:wikipedia.org [chipset]` or `site:wikipedia.org "Firefox m4000"`21:18
lmatsammy: How do I decide what video card I have :( You said lookup the chipset. I have been and I have three options: AMD Firepro (1 GB), NVidia Quadro k1000m (2gb) and NVidia quadro K2000M (2 GB).21:18

minetapei <3 linux21:42
minetapemy mom doesnt want me doing that stuff21:42
minetapei just want to revocer the ability to get back into ubuntu21:43
minetapei lost my liveboot flash drives21:43
lmatminetape: You need to get your own computer.21:43
lmatminetape: I guess a flash drive would work...21:43
k1lminetape: just boot up a live cd or a live-usb, it should find the data21:44
minetapeyeah, i could try to make one21:44
lmatminetape: You probably won't recover the ability to get back into ubuntu...but you can get your data, reinstall ubuntu, then make sure the data are there.21:44

OddI'm running rTorrent on a headless Ubuntu Server with NICs, I've established a PPtP-tunnel on eth0, and would like rTorrents traffic to be routed through that tunnel (PPP0 does get a dynamic IP, so I have no way of routing rTorrent to a specific IP). I would like to know, is that at all possible. And if so, how do I verify that rTorrent's traffic is routed through PPP0?21:52

SteveBellok I'm still trying to re-install ubuntu on a netbook. so now I did the following: created a bootable USB stick following http://www.ubuntu.com/download/desktop/create-a-usb-stick-on-ubuntu which seemed to work. but when trying to boot from that usb drive I get "Non-system disk, Press any key to reboot"21:58
k1lSteveBell: make sure you boot the usb stick (options in bios or a boot-medium-menu with some key like F10 or such)21:59

Ahmedo!topic plymouth22:03
k1l!plymouth | Ahmedo22:03
ubottuAhmedo: Plymouth is an application that runs very early in the boot process (even before the root filesystem is mounted!) that provides a graphical boot animation while the boot process happens in the background. To change your Plymouth theme use « sudo update-alternatives --config default.plymouth && sudo update-initramfs -u »22:03
k1lSteveBell: iirc, there should be 2 partitions on that stick. not only one fat one. :/22:04

NvrBstGreetings, question if I may. When I do "sudo echo hi > t.txt" I'm seeing t.txt get greated with "user:user". If I do "sudo -s" "echo hi > t1.txt" I see "t1.txt" with "root:root". Why would "sudo" not be setting user,group to root:root too?22:07
k1lSteveBell: your stick looks good so far from that point22:07
Ahmedo!plymouth-theme-script | ahmedo22:08
SteveBellyes I also seem to understand how to adjust that boot order on the target machine22:08
jribNvrBst: the redirection is done by your shell (which is being run by your user)22:08
k1lAhmedo: the bot is not a google frontend. did you try to google for "plymouth theme script" already?22:08
Ahmedoyep i did, there is no clear answear22:09
k1lSteveBell: is the stick a 64bit and the netbook is 32bit only?22:09

SteveBelluh boy… I've been trying unetbooting on OS X and that had the same problem.22:12

tzpsyntroPi ahh thanks man. Hopefully it goes away. I'll just have to see what tends to cause it. So strange, that and the missing name, I even rebooted.23:26
dr_willisSynthbread:  depends on how you login.23:26
[FreeBSD]Synthbread: as in what, using startx?23:26
tzpdr_willis yes, exactly that sir.23:26
dr_willistzp:  could be some of the extra peofile info for the users are not filled in. i never looked into it much. askubuntu.com may know more23:27
Synthbread|s-a|, dr_willis, [FreeBSD]: I have a couple commands to remap the keyboard with xmodmap and put it into ~/.xinitrc and marked it as executable.  If I run it from a terminal, it works, but the script doesn't seem to run on login because the keyboard isn't remapped23:27
[FreeBSD]Synthbread: theres surely some autostart folder in unirt23:28
[FreeBSD]unity23:28
[FreeBSD]why does it need to be run from xinitrc23:28
Synthbread[FreeBSD]: isn't .xinitrc an X standard?23:28
betraydiit might be more effective if theeres a restart desktop23:29
Synthbread[FreeBSD]: to run commands when X starts23:29
dr_willisSynthbread:  if you login via lightdm.. it will not read .xinitrc23:29
|s-a|Synthbread , you can use vconsole.conf23:29
syntroPiin /etc/xdg/autostart are desktop links which are invoked after login23:29
[FreeBSD]you can use it, but autostart is a better way23:29
[FreeBSD]because you dont need a seperate file if you dont use it23:29
SynthbreadsyntroPi: I want this to be for a user and not system wide23:29
tzpdr_willis you're right! any way you know of to get back to input name for that account once set up?23:29
volitek[FreeBSD]: it happened again, froze with firefox open but I had hardware acceleration disabled :(23:29
[FreeBSD]volitek: oh, no idea then23:29
Synthbread|s-a|: can this be set per-user?23:30
volitekokay, thanks anyway23:30
|s-a|Synthbread , not sure23:30
[FreeBSD]volitek: leave a tail -F /var/log/{messages,kern.log} or whatever open23:30
[FreeBSD]volitek: to see if it catches anything23:30
=== sammy is now known as Guest62138
[FreeBSD]volitek: do you have much ram? doing anything specific when it happens?23:31
|s-a|Synthbread , you can use startup programs and add: setxkbmap -layout23:31
volitekIve got 16 gigs, I just opened the file explorer when it happened23:31
syntroPiSynthbread, maybe try "~/.config/autostart/"23:31
volitekthe time before I had just switched between two workspaces23:31
[FreeBSD]volitek: do you use anything special, like zfs?23:31
voliteknope23:31
SynthbreadsyntroPi: I only want to run a script, though.  do I have to write up a .desktop file just to run a script?23:32
[FreeBSD]it could be anything23:32
syntroPiSynthbread, never tried it but i guess: yes23:32
|s-a|volitek , i can't understand did you have a 16 gigs file ?23:32
[FreeBSD]volitek: i would leave a terminal visible with logs on tail just in case it leaves you a clue23:32
volitek16 gigs of ram23:32
volitekokay, thanks, ill try it23:33
http80freebsd: as i was telling you, the 2nd drive has fedora as a back of my fedora box23:34
[FreeBSD]http80: what happeens when you mount it then?23:34
phillyjarg, getting this hdd to be writable is driving me crazy!23:34
http80well, i am new to linux, what are the steps to do that?23:35
[FreeBSD]http80: do fdisk -l23:35
[FreeBSD]as root23:35
http80i have that info already23:35
[FreeBSD]find the drive number, like sdc1 or whatever23:35
http80yes i have it already23:35
Synthbreadhttps://wiki.archlinux.org/index.php/LightDM#Migrating_from_SLiM23:35
[FreeBSD]http80: do sudo -i23:35
Synthbreadit's .xprofile instead of .xinitrc23:35
[FreeBSD]then mkdir /mnt/tmp ; mount /dev/sdc1 (or whatever it is) /mnt/tmp23:36
http80hold on. i have ubuntu in my living room23:36
|s-a|Synthbread , good :p23:36
http80freebsd: BRB23:37
|s-a|Synthbread , anyways xinit works with startx23:37
phillyjoh, nvm, gksu nautilus solved my hdd permissions problem23:38
[FreeBSD]Synthbread: this is why i like window managers, just put "exec whatever" in the bottom of the config23:38
[FreeBSD]no messing arounf23:38
|s-a|phillyj , what was the problem ?23:38
betraydyeah used to have xmodmap too but the desktop neeeded a restart for the keys to take effect. Not sure how unity would work there23:38

zergionI have permission issues, I have a index.php file in /var/www, issue is I can't edit it without using sudo. And I can't edit it using a ftp software either.23:45
zergionI tried to set it to 777, still no effect.23:45

ubottuzergion: An explanation of what file permissions are and how they can be manipulated can be found at https://help.ubuntu.com/community/FilePermissions23:45
cxipherugh23:46
http80freebsd: did not work. mount /dev/sdb2 mount: can't find /dev/sdb2 in /etc/fstab or /etc/mtab23:46
http80i can send you the output of: sudo fdisk -l23:47
seroniszergion: im a linux newb so take this advice with a bit of caution, but are the owner:group values of that directory set properly?  ie:  man chown23:47
seronisid imagine its currently set to 'root:root', try setting it to yourself or something more appropriate than root (like a group/user in charge of the website)23:48
cxipher*sigh* i was hoping for less glitches in 12.04. Movie player trakcs forward and back when i scroll the list. annoying.23:48

nezzarioI have a small box with 512mb RAM and currently has netbsd on it.. the cd-rom is busted on it, usb boot is unavailable.. i got netbsd on there with netboot, i really don't want to finaggle with netboot since i'm not on the same network setup as before .. is there a way I could easily dd an installer over netbsd's stuff?23:54
[FreeBSD]http80: ok23:55
betraydnezzario what if you break your netbsd and can't intsall, whats plan B?23:55
nezzarioi'll just do tftp/netboot but it's just a pain..23:56
dr_willisnezzario:  you could do a full install to a usb flash then dd that over to the hd. then yse gparted to resize the fs.  but its an odd way.23:56
betraydis the machine 'expendable'23:56
nezzariothat's actually an excellent idea given my condition23:56
nezzarioyeah i don't give a crap about it it hasn't been booted in 6 mo23:56
betraydlol23:57
betraydiwas moer worried than you were lol23:57
nezzariowell, .. will the ubuntu installer work OK over unreliable net connections?23:59
nezzarioor is it going to be an extreme hassle?23:59
