[01:12] Fezzler: yes. it works well on my netbooks and even my hight end systems.. its lacking a few features.. but works well [01:12] Dr_Willis: The search no longer works in a sane manner and the tree view is gone [01:13] tree view - was removed by the gnome devs i recall. I think i saw some forked nautilus/discussion of that on either the omgubuntu or webupd8 blog site. [01:13] jubacca: You will have to mount the partition first, see the man page for 'mount'. You can do this from the file manager if you prefer. [01:13] Dr_Willis> What features do you miss? [01:13] that readded the tree and some other features [01:13] cxipher: Some dependencies might be broken, so you would want to have offical jre from repositories, but it may also work. [01:14] Dr_Willis: If i replace the file manager, will the ubuntuone plugin still function? [01:14] Fezzler: i seem to recall a few little things here and there. plus i tend to use the 'rox'-filer' manager for my low end machines. it has a lot of neat features that pcmanfm is lacking [01:14] uwc: no idea. I dont use the fork. I imagine it should work [01:15] already is mounted I'm pretty sure. Same hard drive, and ubuntu runs off of wubi. [01:16] jubacca: type 'cat /proc/mount' or 'mount' on its own to see a list of FS mounts, You can find the partition from there. Except I know knothing about wubi. Wubi might be different. [01:16] qin: i think you're right i tried http://apt.ubuntu.com/p/icedtea6-plugin and got The package you requested will install shortly. but nothing happens === g_byers is now known as gbyers[Away] [01:18] Dr_Willis: For me the biggest problem is the search functionalilty, not the tree. I understand that this doesn't change your answer. Just commenting that the search is now well broken. [01:19] So I'm just making an internal package for my company and I'm finding it hard to find examples of creating users/setting permissions within my deb package. I realize I need to do this in the postinst script, but I can seem to find any concrete examples of this [01:19] what should I be googleing for? [01:20] jubacca: However if you can see the drive from within ubuntu's file manager, then it is mounted and you will be able to access it . It is probably mounted with FUSE but in any case, cat /proc/mount will show it [01:20] jubacca: Sorry /cat/proc/mounts (I missed the plural) [01:21] uwc, that works much better [01:21] no idea what the things mean though... [01:22] jubacca: in proc/mounts the second column will be the location [01:23] uwc, but how does this help me find a file in the windows partition? [01:23] jubacca: if you cd to that folder in the terminal you will find the mounted drive [01:24] jubacca: for example it probably says gvfs-fuse /run/user/jubacca/,,,, so go there [01:26] I've read somewhere that I can find conf files in the home directory but my home dir has only my_username dir and nothing else. [01:28] sonofzeus they might begin with a dot, so type . then hit tab [01:28] whatwhat does tab do?

[02:23] mmkay [02:23] intelligitimate, you might need to disable ahci to enable compatabilty mode [02:23] dpkg: error: conflicting actions -e (--control) and -r (--remove) Type dpkg --help for help about installing and deinstalling packages [*]; Use `dselect' or `aptitude' for user-friendly package management; Type dpkg -Dhelp for a list of dpkg debug flag values; Type dpkg --force-help for a list of forcing options; Type dpkg-deb --help for help about manipulating *.deb files; Options marked [*] produce a lot of output - pipe it [02:23] This may sound insane.. technically I should be able to install ubuntu from windows, onto this disk, right? [02:24] using vmware or ms virtual pc [02:24] if you partition [02:24] i think so [02:24] nezzario: Or even VirtualBox (VBox) [02:24] rmobenchain, you are using a live cd atm right? [02:24] well i have both of those [02:24] wethepeople: that is correct [02:25] SonikkuAmerica - I'll check [02:25] going to pop this disk out of this little box and give it a shot [02:25] HL-2140 [02:25] btw, will ubuntu & gnome work "ok" with 512mb of memory and a single 1.8ghz celeron processor? [02:25] rmobenchain, try installing and download updates and 3rd party apps [02:25] kingnick42: Dunno about that one. I have a 2040 bia USB port, no problem. Maybe check the driver you're using? Fiddle with that? === jpnurmi_ is now known as jipsu [02:26] mostly going to do non-x stuff but occasionally i might want a gui for web browseing or something [02:26] kingnick42: s/bia/via [02:26] oh man, please don't say it's that simple. I totally didn't do that upon install :P [02:26] rmobenchain, you do want to install ubuntu then? [02:26] oh yeah. LOVE ubuntu [02:26] rmobenchain, that would fix the issue most likely [02:26] SonikkuAmerica - If I went into a mint live cd, wouldI be able to see the driver its using, and then somehow magically transfer it to ubuntu? [02:27] Windows has proven to be nothing but crap lately. thanks Wethepeople :) [02:27] kingnick42: My guess is that Mint might have used ndiswrapper, so no easy way to tell. [02:27] rmobenchain: You know Ubuntu GNOME is an official flavor right? [02:28] nezzario: ^ Meant that for you, oops [02:28] No, I really don't ever use linux with x [02:28] I'm extremely ignorant on the subject tbh [02:29] SonikkuAmerica - so in short, just try all all the drivers until they work? [02:29] WeThePeople: I tried that earlier and it didn't help. Will try it again. How do I make the Windows Boot Loader recognize Linux? [02:29] I don't even know if people are using xfree or x11 these days, and honestly can't remember the difference, if there even is one. :) [02:29] kingnick42: Yeah. [02:29] rmobenchain, if what i suggested doesnt fix the issue then open up additional drivers and check that [02:29] WeThePeople: He left [02:29] Ah, bother [02:29] I've been using backtrack all this week and was impressed, it's built on ubuntu and used gnome as well, .. Was wanting to give it a shot on this router-ish machine [02:30] nezzario: GNOME 2? [02:30] i cannot login... your system os running in low graphics mode [02:30] No clue really [02:30] intelligitimate, i booted to ubuntu and ran boot repair that way and grub recognized windows [02:30] ubuntu 12.04 [02:30] nezzario: If it had 2 panels, it was 2 [02:30] 2 panels? what kinda panels? [02:32] please somebody help [02:32] i cannot login onto my ubuntu [02:32] WeThePeople: I can't boot to Linux. I can't boot it in ANY fashion I know. It doesn't load. I can't even get a Live CD working now.

[02:34] i think its because i tried to purge my lamp server [02:34] and it says autoremove some packaages [02:34] how do i install it?!! i cannot login [02:35] hawa: Can you get a live image working?

[02:42] hawa: Try [ rm /etc/X11/xorg.conf.failsafe && sudo service lightdm restart ] [02:42] Also, my hostname is id, if that could be an issue [02:43] WeThePeople: Hold on. [02:44] hawa: (You can't run that command in recovery btw) [02:45] SonikkuAmerica, maybe reinstall ubuntu-desktop ssolves it.

[02:46] okay thanks... [02:46] intelligitimate, if you turnon secure boot what does it do [02:46] brb [02:47] intelligitimate, well get me those bios settings first [02:49] WeThePeople: Which settings specifically?

[02:54] ou'd not write bytes broken pipe [02:54] you are good to go then [02:55] isnt there a full sized dvd of ubuntu which contains more packages ? [02:55] could not write bytes broken pipe [02:55] hawa: Broken pipe? Time to reinstall. Hate to say it. [02:55] what does that mean? [02:55] seriously??? [02:56] awwwwwwwq i have my assignments in there [02:56] hawa: Sorry for sounding blunt, but broken pipes are extremely hard to fix... you might be able to get a second opinion. [02:56] hawa: Don't worry, this is 13.04 right? [02:56] 12.04 [02:57] hawa, you could install fluxbox to work with that distro works with broken pipes [02:57] sudo apt-get install -y fluxbox [02:57] That's a possibility too [02:57] Give it a shot [02:57] is it int the repository [02:57] ? [02:57] java works - have given up on ampache server [02:58] WeThePeople: Please don't ever recommend the -y flag here. Thanks. [02:58] hawa: It should be. [02:58] flannel, why [02:58] flannel is that serious thing? [02:58] -y = yes [02:58] hawa: If all else fails, select the "Reinstall" option on the live image when installing and the installer won't touch your /home folder at all. [02:59] WeThePeople, hawa: Because when there are problems, you don't want it to automatically continue. That's why it prompts you in the first place. [02:59] Flannel: -y != --force-yes [02:59] SonikkuAmerica: I'm aware. [03:00] But the -y switch DOES mean "Select YES without reviewing" [03:00] ok will do [03:00] WeThePeople: Thanks.

Which is the recommended directory to install programs? Especially programs which are not installed via package manager; rather, are installed by simply unzipping a tar/zip file? [03:16] I tried /opt, but it causes permission issues because root is the owner [03:16] techsilo: as it should be for a system directory [03:17] techsilo: If they're unix-like (where they go in /bin /lib and all of those) then they go in /usr/local/*, if theyre stand-alone packages, they go in /opt [03:17] if you want the app useablr by everyone, install it as root into /opt/ is normal [03:17] dr_willis: Thank you. So where should I be installing it instead? [03:17] details will depend on ethe exact app [03:17] a user can keep things in their own home just fine [03:17] techsilo: If you don't want it usable by anyone but you, you install it in ~/bin [03:18] for that users own use [03:18] hi, where is the kernel header path ? [03:18] Flannel, dr_willis : Thanks. These are just unzipped directories. Inside them, there are executable files. [03:18] Are you suggesting to keep them under /home/techsilo/installs or something like that? [03:18] techsilo: what are the apps exactly? [03:19] safest to keep them in your home [03:19] A lot of them are like Android Development Kit (which is just unzipped), other utility Java based programs, etc === Cyberspacelurker is now known as Cyberspaceloa [03:20] dr_willis: Thank you for the recommendation.

I thought the setting to "off" would result in power saving not shuttng down my wireless. === sandyd_away is now known as sandyd_asleep [04:27] Think of it this way, wireless is radio. radio recieve/transmission requires power to run [04:27] turning off wifi when not needed increases battery life. many laptops also have a switch that serve a similar purpose.

Is it alright to pop out the live cd I'm running off of, and burn the new one? Thanks. [04:54] I.E. Disk Drive [04:55] uhhh is the live cd running off of RAM? I think it puts itself into RAM [04:55] so you should be able to if it's entirely in ram. [04:55] So it would work? [04:55] NexusPhantom_: if you chose the source and destination drive as being the same, the copying software should prompt you to change theCD for a blank one once it is ready [04:56] Alright thank you. I was just wondering if ubuntu needed constant access to the cd. [04:56] the live cd can be removed? cant say ive ever notived that.. btut i use live-usbs these days [04:56] there used to be a 'toram' option. but that may be a long-removed option [04:57] I'm using ubuntu 9 if that makes a difference [04:57] I can't use a live cd; it's an old motherboard.

[04:58] its possible newer ubuntu releases can work with older hardware then older releases [04:58] Hello I've just started using ubuntu 12.4 would that be a good started version ? [04:58] up to a point. ;) [04:58] I already tried, it doesn't work. [04:58] New2Ubuntu: a lot of people stick with the LTS releases [04:58] NexusPhantom_: what dosent work exactly? and how old is 'old' [04:59] I had an old cd, and thought i could burn a new one using live cd from the old one. [04:59] old is top of the line 6 years ago. [04:59] dr_willis: lts what is the difference ? [04:59] NexusPhantom_: so what cpu is in it? [04:59] For the motherboard [04:59] !lts [04:59] LTS means Long Term Support. LTS versions of Ubuntu will be supported for 3 years on the desktop, and 5 years on the server; with the exception of 12.04 (Precise Pangolin), which will be supported for 5 years on the desktop. The current LTS version of Ubuntu is !Precise (Precise Pangolin 12.04) [04:59] It doesn't support usb booting at all. [05:00] Thanks will download and install [05:01] hey guys [05:02] i have a suspected damaged hdd, so i want to boot a live cd to conform this [05:02] The whole reason I'm doing this is to "evaluate" Ubuntu Touch and since a live cd can't store perm changes, I thought "might as well install the newest one on a different drive." [05:02] but when i try to boot the live cd i keep getting errors about timeout sbin/modprobe [05:03] and io error sector 0 [05:03] and the cd doesnt go any further [05:04] sector 0 is the very start of the hd.. if the drive or disk is bad or is failing.. thats a commpace error i recall. [05:05] ? [05:06] tinlmgoo: ?? [05:06] dr_willis, but us there anyway to get pass that stage of the boot process? [05:06] help [05:06] sorry, afk. CPU is an old Intel 2.4 ghz 4 core [05:06] 呵呵 [05:07] Again, top of the line a few years ago, and still works great. [05:07] jenev: i would think sector 0 is the very start of the hd the thing needs to read to boot.. so im not sure how you would bypass that [05:07] unplug the hdd, and when it comes to installing, replug it back in [05:07] so, i'm suppose to be able to just do "iwconfig wlan0 essid blahblah" and it connects to an open wifi ? [05:08] AKA Hotswap. [05:08] because, it isn't working (wlan0 exists, it's a well supported rtl chipset).. afterwards ifconfig -a shows 0 rx and 0 tx packets [05:08] i'm talking about when booting from the live cd [05:08] dr_willis [05:09] @jenev yeah, just unplug the hdd, and when the live cd boots up, plug it back in. hotswap is what it's called [05:09] nevermind, just read everything [05:10] 。。 [05:10] nexusphantom, oh ok didnt realize i could do that ill give it a try tomorrow thanks :) [05:12] disk [05:12] @jenev, if you still receive the error, it's likely you have a bad ubuntu dis [05:13] NexusPhantom, nah the disk is fine because if i use a different hdd it works fine [05:14] Restart networking and run ‘sysctl -p’ for the changes to take effect. Or just restart the server. [05:14] it says restart networking [05:14] and run sysctl -p [05:15] does that mean that I have to figure out how to restart networking? [05:16] btw since my drive has gone bad im thinking about using a temporary one (about 80gb) until the new one arrives, but is it possible to copy over the content of the temporary one to the mew one bit by bit? [05:16] yeah but youll need a specialized program [05:17] because i don't wanna get to comfortable with temporary one and then have to do over everything i might have done [05:17] there aren't many for ubuntu, but there are plenty for windows [05:17] jenev: you need recovery software or cloning? [05:18] you can image a old instsall to a new hard drive [05:18] cloning [05:18] it's not that simple. [05:18] hmm.. ive used 'dd' to clone a smaller hd to a larger one.. then used gparted to resize the partions. [05:18] If it's the same OS and same build yeah [05:19] That would work so long as the system harware doesn't change. [05:20] hmm.. ive rarely had issues with moveingg linux hds from one machine to a differnt one with very differnt hardware. ;) other then video drivers , i dont really recall any issues at all [05:21] NexusPhantom_: on xp you can do that, but ubuntu is another story [05:21] cant [05:21] !clone | jenev [05:21] jenev: To replicate your packages selection on another machine (or restore it if re-installing), you can type « aptitude --display-format '%p' search '?installed!?automatic' > ~/my-packages », move the file "my-packages" to the other machine, and there type « sudo xargs aptitude --schedule-only install < my-packages ; sudo aptitude install » (this may cause problems with multiarch before 12.10) - See also !automate [05:21] ive taken a 'full' install to a 16gb usb flash and cloned it to 6+ differnt machines befor. ;) had to fix the same hostname however... [05:22] dr_willis: so that mean ubuntu adapts its configuration immidiatly? [05:23] it changes it at startup [05:23] same with windows (to a certain extent) [05:23] lotuspsychje: yes.. has for years for me... [05:24] I can change a CPU in windows and It'll adapt at startup as long as I don't change 32 to 64 bit (or vice versa) [05:24] lotuspsychje: ive rarely ever had any issues moveing one linux install to new hardware [05:24] NexusPhantom, what was the last thing you said [05:24] dr_willis: nice1 [05:25] Windows adapts to new hardware (even big changes like cpu, just not bit changes) [05:25] dr_willis: would dd also be the fastest way of cloning data one hd to another? [05:25] just watch out and make sure you dont like move a system with the wrong version nvidia drivers onto a sustem with differnt nvidia card needing differnt drivers.. or one with nvidia drivers into an ati system [05:26] Motherboard changes in windows cause problems. Then you get errors like "ntroskrl is missing" [05:26] dd will give a straight clone.. identical.. but may need extra work to fully use the rest of the hard drive [05:26] For ubuntu, you should be soilid, just watch out for video drivers [05:26] Just expand the rest of the unallocated space [05:27] for my 16b ussb flash work, i alwys used gparted to make the rest of the hd into the /home/ partion on the machines [05:27] do i dident even have to resize the / partition. [05:27] " (ditto) [05:27] ive used clean installs everywhere :p [05:27] so weird: `du -sh /` says 9.7G but `df -h` says 64G is used! anyone know what to check? [05:28] Gonna get Ubuntu Touch on my Nexus 4, any recommendations, known issues, etc? [05:28] !nexus | NexusPhantom_ [05:28] I know it's developer preview, but I can't wait [05:28] hmm [05:29] !nexus7 | NexusPhantom_ [05:29] NexusPhantom_: Ubuntu can be installed on a Nexus 7 tablet.

[05:30] e.g. contacts [05:30] NexusPhantom_: i belive that would be a YES [05:30] but check in the touch channel [05:30] So I should make a recovery image [05:31] backingup is always a good idea [05:31] rule # 3 of computing - always have backups [05:31] ;) [05:31] lol [05:31] exit [05:32] dr_wilis what do you use a nexus 7 for mostly?

[05:47] Na, I wouldn't get any sound at all. I had this happen before I believe, it's an issue you just can't have it plugged in all the way. Tried a different wire.

[05:57] The newest version broke my setup [05:59] UberSlackr: give us details, [05:59] its ifs a newer version then whats in the repos. its possible the config files have changed. [06:00] ir some cache is goofed up. [06:01] dr_willis: I upgraded MiniDLNA. Everything worked smoothly before. After upgrade I couldn't get things to work. So i completely removed the minidlna package and reinstalled it. Edited the defualt config file [06:01] I've listed 3 directory for it to "access" but it will only list the directory thats listed first [06:02] If I switch the one listed first, restart minidlna, it will scan the top listing again, and first get the other 3 [06:02] !enter | UberSlackr [06:02] UberSlackr: Please try to keep your questions/responses on one line. Don't use the "Enter" key as punctuation! [06:02] forget the other 3* [06:03] bazhang sorry [06:03] how did you remove it? its possible you need to do an apt-get remove purge minidlna to be sure to clean out all old configs.. and verify they are in deed gone [06:03] or was it apt-get purge minidlna (its 2 am here, and im tired) [06:04] I used apt-get to remove it. I checked the directories where the conf files are stores, cache locations, etc. All was removed. then I proceeded to install [06:04] it may also have some verbose-logging mode/options to let you know what its doing [06:04] The documentation provided is very very limited. and very confusing.

[06:06] ushare won't work with the PS3 (or DLNA devices) already tried [06:07] /me has been testing out Pi-Plex for his raspberry pi. [06:07] Is there a way to "downgrade" the version thats install?

How do you set grub to automaticaly boot to a different kernel [06:11] ubuntu 'latest' version may nt be the latest version thats exists. [06:11] is it possible to use my phone as a trackpad through bluetooth (in ubuntu?) [06:12] maybe I'm better of asking that in some kind of bluetooth specialized forum?

I have a Windows 8 phone [06:13] hi axis [06:13] Phryq: yes you can control the mouse and the keyboard from remote on x-servers. so you will have to find an app which will do that (i used a remote keyboard on android some month ago which wa doing that) but cant remeber the name [06:13] trying to get this network driver to work and haveing trouble with its make file. it keeps looking for a /lib/modules/3.8.0..21-generic/build I don't have the last dir "build" [06:13] Phryq: so you should ask in an android channel [06:14] Phryq: ah windows8 phone, then i dont know [06:14] or a Windows Phone 8 channel? [06:14] or in the #windows channe [06:14] thanks [06:14] Phryq: yeah something like that [06:14] #windows [06:14] not sure if this is the best channel for this, but what is the best distro for an old xp compaq with .5 gb of 266ghz ram? (i think i have a gb of much faster ram lying around that might work with it). [06:15] also the processor is an athlon xp [06:15] switching: lubuntu [06:15] hi fireandice [06:15] lubuntuis the lightest ubuntu variant offically supported by thischannel. ;) [06:15] iceroot that's what i was thinking, between that and debian [06:15] switching: we only recommend ubuntu distros here [06:16] there are small;er disrtos out there.

I decided to leave a big chunk of a partition as "unused" since I wanted some other mountpoint that the one the installer provided.

It goes from the ThinkPad startup screen, to a solid purple screen, to a very brief flash of the Ubuntu logo, then just blackness. The monitor is on but just black. The interesting part is that when I press the power button to manually shut it off, the Ubuntu logo returns and seems to be booting up as normal. But b [06:28] y then it's already shutting off.

[06:29] dr_willis: grrrr sudo apt-get update && sudo apt-get install linux-headers-$(uname -r) how do I do this without a nic? [06:29] blebaford, what thinkpad are you using [06:29] ccolorado: looks fine to me other then your logicals are out of order but should work. [06:30] echoe: fingerprint/fingerprint-gui [06:30] djQeuery: i bought a cheap usb wifi dongle thst works in ubuntu out of the box.. for just such emergancies.. and i got a backup plan.. a 100+ft of cat-5 cable.. ;) [06:30] ccolorado: you should be able to mkfs on /dev/sda6 [06:30] echoe yes, i just did that [06:30] echoe: X220 [06:30] histo: any idea why cfdisk may be complaing ? [06:31] dr_willis: errrr so what do you hook the cat-5 cable to when the nic don't work? [06:31] I have been tinkering around with different distros. What would be a good resource to learn from the ground up. Comparing a windows operating system tree to Linux. I understand that everythiing is a file, but beyond that I can't get my head around things. [06:31] echoe http://paste.laravel.com/t9r [06:31] blebaford, this is going to sound stupid but try hitting random buttons to wake it up. my x100e does that sometimes nowadays. that said i only have an x100e so can't things [06:31] djQeuery: cant say ive ever had a wired nic that dident work out of the box.. [06:31] i am a major linux / ubuntu n00b and am wondering if anyone can help me with this issue....my mouse is way too fast, even on the slowest setting :( i posted this but haven't gotten much feedback: https://answers.launchpad.net/ubuntu/+question/229234 [06:31] ccolorado: No idea it doesn't appear they overlap to me [06:32] yousaf, still not working? [06:32] join #fluxbuntu [06:32] oops [06:32] ccolorado: it appears though you created them out of order but that shouldn't matter /dev/sda5 should contain a pointer to /dev/sda6 [06:32] echoe not by the looks of it... maybe a restart might help? [06:32] bbl [06:33] im kinda worried that snowballs with time [06:34] yousaf, i would restart the connections [06:34] restart might help. [06:34] rebooted the server [06:34] lets see :D [06:34] I hope this fixes it because this issue came out of the blue [06:34] last night [06:35] Hi users, what exactly is nomodeset [06:35] !nomodeset | MonkWitDaFunk [06:35] MonkWitDaFunk: A common kernel (boot)parameter is nomodeset, which is needed for some graphic cards that otherwise boot into a black screen or show corrupted splash screen. See http://ubuntuforums.org/showthread.php?t=1613132 on how to use this parameter [06:36] hmmm, I dowloaded a windows program 'mouse without boarder' and it seems to have installed fine, but nothing happens when I run it === max is now known as Guest29993 [06:37] echoe no luck [06:37] Phryq: and that relates to ubuntu... how? [06:37] ok thanks [06:37] ack. ... well i don't know of the issue beyond that blog post. are you getting exactly the same errors? [06:37] what distro is good for an emachines from 2006, 2gb of ram and a pentium 4 [06:37] anything else not working? [06:37] oh sorry, running through WINE in Ubuntu [06:38] switching: lubuntu? is there no gpu but the intel? [06:38] Phryq: #winehq [06:38] Phryq: try #winehq, but it probably won't work [06:38] why would it probably not work? [06:38] the latest nvidia dirver i have in additional drivers is 3.10. is there any newer?? thanks [06:39] aeon-ltd oh my bad i should have mentioned i have a geforce 210 added into it [06:39] I was set route but itnot work [06:40] I have 2 connection , 1 lan for work , 2 phone for internet [06:41] switching: regular ubuntu should work fine if the drivers work well for the 210, though it's a hassle to try since ubuntu doesn't fit on cd [06:42] aeon-ltd great thx for the advice! === dannib_ is now known as dannib [06:43] ubuntu doesnt fit on a cd? [06:43] echoe: I was disconnected for a bit. My last communication was "no luck. the power button still wakes it up consistently but by then it's already shutting down" [06:43] echoe: did you come up with anything? [06:43] Ok this question is more a matter of opinion. I have a dedicated partitions for movies, series, and a single one for pictures, music, and micelanious meida. What would be a good place to mount it ? I am thinking on somethign like this : http://codepad.org/zYAfgs25 but i don't know if it is consider a bad practice [06:44] i didn't. um have you tried ... oh! [06:44] try holding shift [06:45] are you dualbooting? [06:45] if not holding shift will open the grub menu [06:45] and maybe it will boot to that at least and you can see if there's anything done wrong there [06:45] ccolorado: If it works for you and it is personal use bad practices don't matter. Mounting it like that will work fine. [06:45] if it does you can also insert a livecd and run boot repair [06:46] ccolorado: out of curiosity, why dedicated partitions on the same disk for movies/music etc? [06:46] echoe: not dual booting, I'll try shift. then I'll try boot repair. [06:47] Gumby: ubuntu doesn't fit on cd [06:47] blebaford, boot repair is this btw: http://www.howtogeek.com/114884/how-to-repair-grub2-when-ubuntu-wont-boot/ [06:47] Gumby: there is a limit on how big a partition can be. [06:48] ccolorado: what type of partition are you using? [06:48] Gumby: So i thougth it would be best to have video on its own volumen. [06:48] Gumby: Ext4 [06:49] ccolorado: isnt that limit 2tb though ? [06:49] ccolorado: the max partition size for ext4 is 1 exbibyte [06:49] ccolorado: yeah I would mount all those under /mnt unless they are being served to the network then you could put them under /srv [06:49] ccolorado: ext4 partition limit is 1000 petebytes [06:49] what sexybob said too [06:50] 1000 petabytes? that's nothing [06:50] echoe: holding shift got me to the grub menu. what should I be looking for? [06:50] SexyBoBo: right, but I think there are different partitions schemas [06:50] ccolorado: If your drive is over 2tb you need to use GUID Parition Tabels or GPT as well. [06:50] the one i am using only supports up to 2TB partitions. [06:50] blebaford, nice! what options are there? any? [06:50] histo: +1 [06:50] you may want to try booting into the previous kernel [06:51] ccolorado: cfdisk and fdisk don't support GPT partitioning so you'd have to use parted or gdisk to do it. [06:51] yup, When i fist set this up, i encontered that inforamtion, didnt quite undestood it, so i stiked with the old way [06:53] ccolorado: With your original question though those mount points will work great. Best practises be damned for personal use. (except alway back up) [06:54] For whatever reason I do not have a grub menu at boot anymore, and automagically load the default OS. How do I fix this? [06:54] ccolorado: I only initially asked because I've partitioned with the same thoughts in mind and it is a big pain in the rear when your partitions start filling up. You end up starting to move all sorts of data around. One (or multiple) disks instead of partitions have worked better for me in the past. [06:54] SexyBoBo: well I am worried about shooting myself in the foot with that approach. But i can't think of anything wrong with it. [06:54] Also at some point I tried a PPA kernel (3.6) and this is the default boot option. How do I remove this and change the default back to 3.5-newest [06:55] Gumby: that's future ccolorado's problem. [06:56] echoe: Ubuntu, with Linux 3.5.0-30-generic, same thing with (recovery mode) at the end, "Previous Linux Versions", and two Memory test entires. [06:56] Quix86: you can edit /boot/grub/menu.lst [06:56] Quix86: edit your /etc/default/grub set timeout to something other then 0 then sudo update-grub [06:56] ^^ [06:56] blebaford, can try opening up 'orevious versions' and booting into an earlier kernel? [06:56] ccolorado: always plan for the future :) your future self will thank you [06:58] I set route for 2 network but it not work. [06:59] echo: the only option ws 3.5.0-23. Tried that and I get the same behavior. Think "recovery mode" could be of any help? [06:59] echoe: the only option ws 3.5.0-23. Tried that and I get the same behavior. Think "recovery mode" could be of any help? [07:00] Gumby: yeah you're right [07:00] KuuuuuuH: what is the output of route -n (paste to pastebin.com and give the resulting page here) [07:00] SexyBoBo, timeout is already '10', would cmdline default having resume= in it be related to the system not giving me boot options? [07:01] nevermind the resume is the swap file [07:01] oh. bleh. [07:01] do boot repair [07:01] see if that helps maybe [07:01] recovery mode could help as well. [07:01] my guess would be that something in the kernel messed up during the upgrade. [07:04] Quix86: is TIMEOUT_QUIET= set to true if so set it to false [07:05] hidden timeout quiet is [07:05] Help me to set route on 2 network. It for work and internet. [07:05] what is grub_default? [07:06] thats which menu item it default boots too [07:06] 0 is the first item on the list and so on [07:06] is there a way to select submenus with it? [07:06] is radeon hdmi audio turned off by default in 13.04 [07:06] i.e. advanced options (2), and then the third option from that list? [07:07] echoe: I'm making a bootable usb now... in the meantime what should I do in recovery mode? [07:07] can you boot into recovery mode completely? [07:08] what does it even do? i've never done it before lol. x.x I would run sudo apt-get update probably === SWAGGUY is now known as YOLOGUY [07:09] echoe: It gives me a menu with "resume, clean, dpkg (repair broken packages), failsafeX, fsck, grub (update grub bootloader), network, root, and system-summary [07:09] if I remove all of the files related to a specific kernel version in /boot/ and update grub, it should effectively be removed as a boot option, correct? [07:09] oh [07:09] dpkg [07:10] repair those broken thingies [07:10] Quix86 you would need to purge the linux header using apt to get it to do it cleanly [07:10] KuuuuuuH: what is the output of route -n (paste to pastebin.com and give the resulting page here) [07:11] SexyBoBo, I just want to get it to boot the correct kernel so I can put on a race from my hot swap drive and sleep [07:11] I don't care about doing it cleanly as long as it works [07:11] I ran an update a couple of days ago, and since then my wifi network connection keeps dying. I cannot ping my ADSL router or anything outside of the network. After a couple of minutes it automatically comes on again. It does not affect any other computers on the network, so it is definitely an Ubuntu/lubuntu issue. [07:14] Quix86: dpkg --list | grep kernel-image [07:14] Quix86: will list all kernels installed then just apt-get remove kernel-image-xxx [07:15] It happened again...

[07:17] I wonder why 3.6.3 won't mount my ultrabay drive anyway [07:17] oh well [07:17] ty SexyBoBo [07:17] SexyBoBo: When the wifi is up it does... but when wifi goes down no.

[07:24] Hey there! Can anybody tell me if after failing at running up my recompiled kernel i can still use the older ones listed in GRUB? Or does recompiling the latest influences somehow the older? [07:24] Laiquendi: unless you removed them the kernels should still be available [07:26] It happened again!!!!

[07:33] nope [07:33] ;) [07:33] because mate break alot of gnome2 dep. [07:33] neither of them are!

[08:06] yeah, would give you a terminal on your phone [08:06] blebaford, no, not recovery mode [08:07] I mean like dkms list |grep kernel and then sudo apt-get remove [kernel name] and sudo apt-get install [kernel name] [08:07] i've never done this before myself though, as i said [08:07] I don't understand; why would I want a terminal on my phone?

[11:05] robotdevil: http://ubuntuportal.com/2011/11/how-to-enable-key-sequence-ctrlaltbackspace-to-kill-server-on-ubuntu-11-10.html [11:05] robotdevil: Dr_willis System Settings, Keyboard Layout, Options, Key sequence to kill the X server (tick box) [11:06] not on gnome machine right now, why just asking about the xorg thing [11:06] was* [11:06] Thats on a normal Ubuntu install [11:06] ok [11:07] or unity or whatever lawl [11:07] robotdevil: unity is a shell for Gnome [11:07] robotdevil: Unity doesn't replace Gnome [11:08] right [11:08] thanks [11:09] robotdevil: look in the menu in the top righ tfor settings, then folow that guide I pasted which you could have found yourself online [11:12] hello [11:12] I thought older versions of ubuntu have an xorg so I thought the sites were dated and you had to create new xorg Section"ServerFlags" Option "DontZap" "false" [11:13] X has not really needed an xorg.conf for quiet some time. [11:13] it WILL use it - if it exists [11:13] my nvidia system have a minimal xorg.conf to enable twinview.. actually im not even sure if thats needed any more.

[11:14] :P [11:14] hey all [11:14] manime, take your spam away [11:14] right was just illustrating why I asked, since enabled crt alt backspace 13.04 doesnt give new results [11:14] Hello, I need to build the drivers for my network card, when I try to compile I get errors about not being able to find system headers (files that should be found in /asm and /linux) [11:14] !headers [11:14] To install the Linux (kernel) headers, open a terminal and: sudo apt-get install linux-headers-$(uname -r) To install headers for libraries, you need the accompanying -dev packages [11:14] everything is 11.10 and back [11:15] robotdevil: older and newer versions stll use xorg, there is talk of using Mir or Wayland later [11:15] quit [11:16] ok [11:16] will be interesting to see how mir and wayland work out.. [11:16] i have a linux server here behind my fw. it has 2 network cards for local network. im using for my local network 192.168.1.0 , now i want on the other interface the network 192.168.2.0 and attach WLAN to it so ppl can use it without seeing my priovate network (192.168.1.0) but can still use internet [11:16] anyone around? [11:16] think I read something about them awhile ago [11:16] or anything else i have to do ? [11:17] I just ordered a thinkpad x201 gonna put 8 gigs of ram in it and a 256gb SSD. Does it automatically have sata3 and also will ubuntu run ok on this? I was considering 12.04 because the dell xps 13 has that and I am trying to learn to program. [11:17] ubuntunewb, that's plenty ... but why not just get the dell sputnik? [11:18] Dr_willis: when I do an 'apt cache search' on linux-headers-(version) I get a result "t x86 SMP" [11:18] foo357, i dont code.. i just know the factoid. [11:18] I like teh way the thinkpad looks and how durable it is [11:20] hi, im on 12.04 what does "dependency is not satisfiable python 2.6" mean? [11:21] hello, how can i transfer files with nautilus between 2 pc's connected through a crossover cable? what software do i need to install? the 2 pc's are running debian and ubuntu [11:22] starbuck, plug in cables set up static ips or set up a dhcp server on one.. then use any networking service/method you want.. ssh, scp. samba, nfs [11:23] Hiyas all [11:23] Dr_willis: did all the prerequisites, but i want to use a file manager e.g. nautilus to do the transfer [11:23] starbuck, and nautilus can use ssh/scp/sftp/samba or access a nfs share... [11:24] you install the services you want it to use [11:24] ssh/scp/sshfs would be the most straight forward. but perhaps not the fastest [11:24] Dr_willis: that's my next question: which one is the fastest? [11:25] Dr_willis: i try to avoid samba... never was happy with it [11:25] I have a USB device mounted at /media/$LOGIN/somelogstring. I shared a directory in this USB drive with guest ok = yes in smb.conf, and I gave the necessary permissions. but, no guest is able to access. [11:25] any ideas? [11:25] Kartagis, what FS is on the usb device? [11:26] anyone know how I can enable cron for a user in lucid? [11:26] Dr_willis: reiserfs [11:26] mikejw, lucid is end of life. time to upgrade [11:26] !luckd [11:27] !lucid [11:27] Ubuntu 10.04 LTS (Lucid Lynx) was the twelfth release of Ubuntu. Desktop support ended May 9 2013. Server support continues. See http://ubottu.com/y/lucid for more details. [11:27] cfhowlett: I would I could [11:27] Dr_willis: thank you, i jsut use ssh [11:27] easy [11:28] Kartagis, Hmm.. cant say ive messed with reiserfs.. You could mount the device somewhere via fstab. and set up a samba share for it in the samba config files [11:28] cfhowlett, you are telling someone to upgrade over a cron thing? [11:28] ezra-s, no, I'm suggesting that end of life maintenance issues warrant an upgrade [11:28] that's useful info but I really just need to get this to work [11:28] ezra-s, but feel free to correct me. I'm willing to learn [11:28] mikejw, you have problems using crontab -e with your user? [11:29] I don't think user-level cron is enabled [11:29] mikejw, you don't think? try to make sure.. :P [11:29] so I just put my username in /etc/cron.allow right? does it need my user id as well? [11:30] cfhowlett, well, it's good to be up to date for sure, no complains, I was just wondering if there were specific issues in cron with lucid that were not going to be fixed [11:31] Dr_willis: I'll try that as soon as I finish copying files [11:31] if its EOL basically theres not going to be any fixs any more [11:31] mikejw, first try to add a cron job, with your user, do crontab -e add whatever, check if it works [11:31] ezra-s, I lack to the knowledge to give a sensible answer. [11:32] mikejw, your user is on desktop or server ubuntu? server support continues ... [11:32] server [11:32] the crontab is there but how do make sure it works? [11:32] let's focus on the cron thing first [11:32] mikejw, excellent. I can't answer your query but someone will ... [11:33] mikejw, it's as simple as doing "crontab -e" with the user, add a specific job which writes a file in your home for example and see if the file gets created! [11:34] make sure the cron job has correct timing so it happens today [11:34] I've set it for every minute [11:34] while we are here at least ;P [11:34] that will do ;) === sammy is now known as Guest64916 [11:34] btw I've just seen that /etc/cron.allow is mentioned in the crontab man page [11:35] but I'm not sure exactly what goes in there or if I need to enable something else [11:35] mikejw, ignore that for now [11:35] i've got a permission denied error hen i try to upload a file with proftpd [11:35] con you help me? [11:36] *can [11:36] maybe I just need to restart anacron? [11:36] mikejw, no [11:36] this is not windows [11:37] reboot, reformat, reinstall, reformat again [11:37] ;P [11:37] * ezra-s chuckles [11:37] contab exists on windows! news to me [11:37] mikejw, restarting everything over every little thing exists on windows [11:37] maybe... [11:37] so what *IS* the answer? [11:37] mikejw: there is windows scheduler, kinda similar [11:38] even in dated solaris I can do crontab -e without worrying about anything other than my own cron file [11:38] so I see no problem with doing it on lucid or any other linux distro back to the old days [11:39] ive not recall ever hearing of crontab for users being disabled in lucid.. [11:39] unless this is some wonky vps/vpn [11:39] mikejw, have you made your cron job yet? [11:39] ok so I guess there must be something wrong with the cronjob itself [11:39] mikejw: if you run: export EDITOR=vi; sudo crontab -e you will get the root crontab file and you can edit it as needed [11:40] yep, I've managed to that [11:40] Is there a way of isntalling a newer php version on ubuntu 12.04 using apt, than the version the default repos is providing? I need 5.3.18, and ubuntu aptitude says 5.3.10 is latest. [11:41] Fonzie, find a ppa for it is one way [11:41] !latest [11:41] Packages in Ubuntu may not be the latest. Ubuntu aims for stability, so "latest" may not be a good idea. Post-release updates are only considered if they are fixes for security vulnerabilities, high impact bug fixes, or unintrusive bug fixes with substantial benefit. See also !backports, !sru, and !ppa. [11:41] my problem is that cronjobs don't run not that they don't exist [11:41] if I do cronjob -l I see them [11:42] sorry crontab -l [11:42] Dr_willis: can i change my repos to unstable or something? like in debian [11:42] Fonzie, enable backports and run apt-get upgrade and apt-get dist-upgrade [11:42] maybe a PATH issue [11:42] mikejw: so what is the issue? [11:42] Fonzie, if its not in backports. you would use the ubuntu PPA 'method' IF you can find a ppa for it === ironholds is now known as Ironholds [11:42] Fonzie, you enable "proposed" ... but with great paower ... [11:42] ns identify 538uu2pf [11:42] gah [11:42] ffs [11:42] mikejw, paste here the output of your crontab -l [11:42] Ironholds: time for a new password [11:43] or in a paste url if its more than one line === Ironholds is now known as Guest40999 [11:43] backports, proposed, then ppas :) then source.. :P [11:43] da ;p [11:43] 01 * * * * touch ~/test_file [11:44] Err.. in crontab do you want to use the ~/ type shortcut? === Guest40999 is now known as Ironholds [11:44] i recall seeing it have issues in some cases. ;) [11:44] Dr_willis: deb http://no.archive.ubuntu.com/ubuntu/ precise-backports main restricted universe multiverse [11:44] mikejw, that's the first minute of every hour [11:44] Looks liek backports allready enabled? [11:44] :D [11:44] mikejw, do this -> * * * * * echo "Im lazy" >> ~/file.txt [11:45] you should have a file.txt with a "Im lazy" every minute you wait [11:45] awesome I got it [11:45] thanks [11:45] * ezra-s slaps mikejw [11:45] NCIS style [11:45] * * * * * beep [11:45] ;) [11:46] !info beep [11:46] haha [11:46] beep (source: beep): advanced pc-speaker beeper. In component universe, is optional. Version 1.3-3 (raring), package size 23 kB, installed size 78 kB [11:46] that's good too if you have it [11:46] that would annoy my co-workers :) [11:47] i wonder what made it advanced [11:47] * * * * * eject;beep;beep;beep [11:47] dr_sounds like the everything is o kalarm from the simpsons :) [11:47] lol [11:47] actually i think if you do eject a 2nd time. it closes the cdrom tray [11:48] Used that eject trick to figure out which server i was sshed into once or twice [11:48] mikejw, sometimes the solution is much simpler than what we want to make it [11:48] is there a way to ping from a particular device like eth2 or eth1 ? [11:48] might have spooked a datacenter guy [11:48] Dr_willis: oh we do it loads here for the same thing, too many boxes [11:48] ericab: that's a really good point :) [11:48] sorry about all that [11:48] night all. [11:49] sorry.. ezra-s that's a really good point [11:49] dr_although funny when hardware engineers request it in a vm to find the host esx. durrrrr [11:50] mikejw, no worries ;) === Reedy_ is now known as Reedy [11:51] Why do i get "The following packages have been kept back: [11:51] " [11:52] when trying to upgrade a package? [11:52] Fonzie: the packages have not got satisfed deps, til they are satisfied othey will be kept back [11:52] hm [11:52] So, why isnt it upgrading the dependencies? [11:53] Fonzie: because they aren't made yet [11:53] Fonzie, there are no upgrades for their dependencies that's what ActionParsnip meant [11:53] Fonzie: when they get updated, it will come [11:53] Fonzie, I get 'em all the time on my stock ubuntustudio. eventually, dependencies get fixed and packages get loaded. no big deal. [11:53] it may happen if you have a ppa with outdated packages for example [11:54] I want to upgrade to a newer PHP version, and got the repos to upgrade it, but it failes because of other depencies version :S [11:54] Fonzie: then you will need another source for the deps it needs [11:54] Fonzie: the ones you have cannot satisfy the requirements, so they are held back [12:00] Using 12.04. How Can I change default permissions of cdrom that is mounted automatically in gnome?

[12:37] SonikkuAmerica: No - I've purposely left it out of favourites so I work out this keyboard shortcut problem. I'll give it a go now [12:38] Hi guys, this may sound the typical question, but given the shorten of raring support, how safe it is to start using saucy right now as my daily box? [12:41] vrubium, it's in active development, if you want a stable platform it is not recommended, it all depends on how much you care for stability and things going broken [12:42] ezra-s: I guess as long it is "easy" to fix I don't mind much [12:42] vrubium: its officially unstable. If you want longer support I recommend Precise [12:42] exit [12:43] ActionParsnip: The thing is that it would be really nice to enjoy the performance developments that are arriving in saucy [12:43] SonikkuAmerica - No launcher, but I can add one. [12:44] creativeoS: Weird... are you running Unity? [12:44] is there a way to install ubuntu using the installer from within ubuntu? [12:44] jmcantrell: ermmm what? [12:45] Just click on the installer icon [12:45] jmcantrell: On the same HDD, no, but you can install ubiquity (be warned, this will inflate your HDD to epic proportions. [12:45] Hahaha no dude. Running openSUSE 12.3 - #ubuntu chan has 10 times more active chatters/helpers/developers though. [12:45] xylon: i want to install ubuntu to a partition that's not my current partition [12:45] SonikkuAmerica: better just to boot from another usb? [12:46] jmcantrell: just do it from the liveCD [12:46] creativeoS: Oh. Well we can't really help you here... but if you're using GNOME... [12:46] Yes, that's what I'm using. It's why I come here... [12:46] xylon: yeah, well live usb. who uses cd's any more ;) [12:46] Well, yeah :D [12:46] thanks all :) [12:46] So i decided to repartition my sustem in place today. I was fed up with there seeming to be not alternative CD for 13.04 so just went with the default encrypted lvm option on the live cd installer. When I went to examine the mostrosity this set up, i wasn't too impressed. It seemed to set up 3 real partitions, one for EUFI, one for /boot, and then the big one for lvm. In the lvm, it only created two partitions, root and swap. I wanted a third hom [12:46] e partition so when I had the time I decided to fix that. I booted up a live CD, resized my root to as small as it would go, and made a new home. I think at this step I screwed something up because now my root is saying that it's 100% full when it's not. === BadLarry_ is now known as BadLarry [12:47] creativeoS: You can try in the GIMP IRC network; that's where the GNOME IRC stuff is located. They have a staff willing to help. [12:49] at some point my root filesystem got corrupted and now shows 0 free space even though there's clearly a few gigs. And the funny thing is I can still write to the root, it just thinks it's full [12:49] jmcantrell: are you upgrading from an existing install or running liveUSB/CD..? [12:50] Morning!

[12:51] SonikkuAmerica - thanks I'll give them a go [12:52] creativeoS: irc.gimp.org [12:52] i had to hardreset my laptop twice earlier today (consecutively) , will doing an fsck /dev/sdx from a live cd be enough to see if something borked ? [12:53] Never mind, it's DNS issues. [12:53] or do i have to use some special --option with fsck to find out definitively if something bad happened or just a simple fsck to the root partition do ? === jack is now known as Guest31460 [12:55] SonikkuAmerica: FYI - the #gnome-hackers has the most chatters. [12:56] creativeoS: XD [12:56] creativeoS: I'd guess they should know about GNOME if they're hacking it :) [12:56] hi there [12:57] i checked the man page for fsck doesn't say anything explicit for crashes/hardresets [12:57] is there an Active Directory channel? [12:57] iak better ask in ##windows [12:58] oh and btw i checked the /var/log/fsck/fscheck logs [12:58] thanks. [12:58] why isn't it checkit the / fs on startup ?

Those files are owned by nobody of the group nogroup, and can be seen by users in the network [13:01] screw this [13:01] I wrote a script so the oldest are deleted, and inserted that script into the cron files so it is executed periodically [13:02] but they are not deleted, I guess because of the permissions [13:02] if I execute the script manually with sudo === MartinS is now known as Guest73932 [13:02] they are correctly deleted [13:07] I will try another time [13:07] thanks [13:07] hi, zup. So I'm a strong firm fanatic extremist beleiver in solving all your problems intellectually, perhaps with a mind-map. Now, I feel really confused, down, depersonalized, tired, and so forth.

[13:14] thrillERboy, sudo os-prober, then run, sudo update-grub [13:14] diverdude: tried nmap too? [13:15] creativeoS: There should be a + button somewhere on that screen.

[13:46] im looking for a python desktop notifier, to make message queu persistent [13:46] <_joey> I couldn't find linux driver on brother website [13:46] <_joey> for the sepcific model [13:46] have you tried plugging it in already? [13:46] <_joey> samuel__: installed cups [13:46] _joey: https://duckduckgo.com/?q=brother+linux [13:46] _joey: top link.....? [13:47] _joey: http://welcome.solutions.brother.com/bsc/public_s/id/linux/en/download_prn.html [13:47] _joey: http://welcome.solutions.brother.com/bsc/public_s/id/linux/en/download_prn.html#MFC-7362N [13:47] _joey: how am I finding this...?? [13:47] google is your friend :D [13:47] or duck duck go! [13:47] samuel__: google is my 2nd friend :) [13:48] its surprising how many manufacturers ARE forthcoming with linux drivers now [13:48] _joey: LPR driver deb first, then the cupswrapper [13:48] no kodak though :( [13:48] samuel__: didnt they go bust [13:48] yeah [13:48] but alot of people bought kodak printers cos of the ink efficiency thing [13:49] lotuspsychje there's ##python-friendly -- "We're like #python, but friendlier." [13:49] i had to deal with alot of cases where my customers had bought them and couldn't get them working in linux [13:49] MonkeyDust: tnx [13:49] Hello All [13:49] svingegneria, greetings [13:49] :) [13:50] _joey: did you see the pages I linked in your searchings? [13:50] <_joey> I saw it. Thanks [13:50] Hi BluesKaj I get error in sudo chroot /mnt step. the error chroot: failed to run command /bin/bash [13:50] <_joey> cupswrapper driver will work with cups? [13:50] <_joey> what's LPR dirver? [13:50] _joey: did you see it before you asked in here though? [13:51] guys, how can i install zend 1.12 on ubuntu? [13:51] (hello!) [13:51] <_joey> yes [13:51] zokko: what is the output of: lsb_release -sc [13:51] <_joey> gosh [13:51] _joey: install the LPR deb, then the wrapper [13:51] _joey: then attach the printer and power it on [13:51] Hi, I've been having problems with my GUI freezing on 13.04. I have an Intel Corporation 2nd Generation Core Processor Family Integrated Graphics Controller (rev 09). I followed some advice on here and moved from the Unity shell to xfce4.2 and now my GUI doesn't hang. How can I further diagnose the problem and help resolve it for future users? [13:52] delliott: you could try the GUI Intel driver installer detailed on omgubuntu [13:52] <_joey> ActionParsnip: I see [13:52] zokko: its a terminal command. You can copy and paste to the terminal [13:52] Has anyone been able to disable mouse acceleration on Raring and then adjust mouse sensitivity afterwards? I have been able to disable the mouse acceleration via xinput, but then I can't adjust the sensitivity. (Sorry for repost, but haven't seen any repliies yet) [13:52] i have a problem getting my broadcom wireless adapter on an hpdv2000t to work on ubuntu, anyone have any ideas? [13:53] ActionParsnip: I've installed the Intel Graphics Driver but the driver that is bundled with 13.04 is already in-sync with the latest Intel driver. [13:53] !broadcom | rolla91 [13:53] rolla91: Help with Broadcom bcm43xx can be found at https://help.ubuntu.com/community/WifiDocs/Driver/bcm43xx [13:53] <_joey> the driver is i386. I have 64bit installed [13:53] _joey: your OS supports multiarch, just like Windows does [13:53] _joey: it will be managed for you [13:53] good ole multiarch === BradCrittenden is now known as bac [13:56] thrillERboy, https://help.ubuntu.com/community/Boot-Repair [13:56] sometimes I wonder if google blocks the Ubuntu OS from accessing their webpage [13:56] <_joey> ActionParsnip: mfc7362nlpr depends on libc6 (>= 2.3.4-1). [13:56] ho rolla91 what version of ubuntu are you rolling with? [13:56] _joey: then run: sudo apt-get -f install [13:56] It's a shame that this mouse acceleration/sensitivity merger happeded in 13.04. The rest of this release is such a huge improvement over the past few releases. But if I can't manage my mouse sensitivity separately from my mouse acceleration, then it's a complete dealbreaker for me. [13:56] happened* [13:56] <_joey> ActionParsnip: what will that do? [13:57] <_joey> the driver seems to be very old [13:57] vesayth issues with mouse sensitivity are not unique to linux/pc hard ware [13:57] _joey the -f in that line means fix [13:57] <_joey> which depends on old libraries [13:57] i have ahd issues with it in osx and windows using apple hardware/software [13:57] <_joey> MonkeyDust: thanks [13:58] samuel_: yes but the uniqueness comes in the fact that 13.04 merged sensitivity with acceleration, which means you can't adjust them independently of each other [13:58] <_joey> there isn't anything broken, so not sure why ActionParsnip is recommending a fix [13:58] unlike other distros/OSes [13:59] im trying to follow the instructions in that link but am having issues, i was here once before and got it to work by typing in 3 easy commands however i wasnt smart enough to write those down and an update crashed the ubuntu [13:59] guys, is there a repo with zend 1.12 ?? [13:59] i have tried downloading the broadcom STA however it still doesnt work [14:00] it is a broadcom 4312 [14:00] good lord, I really wonder at times how my father does this.... managed to completely break his system upgrading from 12.10 -> 13.04, I suspect because he loves to use PPAs and it looks like there was about a dozen of them active before he did the upgrade :( [14:00] Worst thing was, I told him "No Dad, DON'T upgrade [ yet ]" [14:01] Guess I'll try back here later. Sigh. [14:01] vesayth: wassup? [14:01] zokko: what is the output of the command I gave please? [14:01] has anyone used high resolution webcams? I tried to use 1080p Creative Socialize Webcam, but I ended up getting 320p, even though what I understood is that UVC should take care of this automatically? [14:02] inflex, i have done the online upgrade to some success [14:03] but by far the most successful way to upgrade with any linux in my experience [14:03] is to keep /home on a separate partition [14:03] samuel__ i have 12.10 [14:03] zokko: in a terminal, run: lsb_release -sc what is the output please? [14:03] samuel__ sorry for my delay, i hadn't seen your response [14:03] then you can use live medium to test your hardware/software, then use the installer to format / and just mount /home without formatting it if you use the same username and password [14:04] it will automatically mount the correct home folder [14:04] samuel__: or just resist the urge to fiddle [14:04] that forces you to reinstall PPA's [14:04] but usually works out better [14:05] I think the shift from Cinnamon being a PPA requirement to being part of the repository in 13.04 might have complicated things as well [14:06] samuel__ i have tried following the instructions given in the link on here but am not having much luck, still a newb to ubuntu. its ubuntu 12.04 and broadcom 4312 [14:06] imagine cinnabuntu lol [14:06] I'd rather they named it something like Spicetu [14:07] Anyhow, i'm still content on 12.10, will be for a while yet I dare say, no compelling reason for me to shift [14:07] ubuntu 12.10 broadcom 4312 not working, does anyone have any ideas? [14:07] i'm using 13.04, upgraded with the above method and its great [14:07] people should just let gnome 2 die [14:08] actionparsnip +111111111111111 [14:08] haany reason why you ar suing 12.10 and not 13.04 rolla91? [14:08] if you like 2 panels and such, use xfce [14:08] есть русские юзвери? [14:08] i agree, i hate mate lol [14:09] ja, +1 to having GNOME die, though GTK can stick around. I was always a bit concerned when they bound GNOME and GTK too tightly together. [14:09] for me it is all the worst things about gnome 2 - a nightmare to support remotely [14:09] Samuel__ its not my computer, its a friends. I belive they were trying an update to 13.04 and it crashed midway through so they reloaded it with that they had [14:10] What's the plausibility of Ubuntu taking on something like Cinnamon as the default DM/WM? Though I suppose that just wouldn't go down well. [14:11] ( personally i'm using Fluxbox :) ) [14:11] inflex: same, fluxbox is badass [14:12] hmm i had issues with 12.04 and my broadcom 4313 [14:12] ActionParsnip: nice to have a WM that does its job and keeps out of your face :) [14:12] i think it needs a decoder or something [14:12] samuel__ i was here once before a week ago and they helped me get it working with a couple of commands, it was really easy, but then they tried the update and it crashed === motto is now known as m8 [14:13] however i dont remember those commands [14:13] inflex, i think the possibility of that happening is slim to none [14:13] can you get internet access on this machine? [14:14] inflex: fluxbox + xcompmg + docky, runs great :) [14:14] yes samuel__ it is on wired ethernet now [14:14] ActionParsnip: hrmm...haven't used xcompmg or docky. I just have everything on the right-click menu and keyboard combos [14:19] inflex: https://dl.dropboxusercontent.com/u/8850924/raring.png [14:19] inflex: dangerzone!!! [14:19] ~.

[14:43] <_joey> linux is skype is really outdated now [14:43] <_joey> it does not look like it has been supported for a little while [14:43] Which doesn't change the answer :-) [14:43] _joey, there is a website that can do the work meanwhile [14:44] <_joey> famax8: which work?

[14:51] I have ati radeon [14:51] _joey, i guess - is called imo [14:51] No proprietary drivers are available [14:51] _joey, there was another one but cant remember the name and u also have one on the skype website [14:51] MonkWitDaFunk: model? [14:52] http://pastie.org/7953378 === DouglasKAway is now known as DouglasK [14:52] Caterpillar: I haven't had any serious issues with the proprietary drivers in quite a while, but yes they do still drop support for cards every few years. [14:52] adamk_: ^ === aura is now known as aura_ [14:53] adamk: ok that's enough [14:53] _joey: screenshot [14:53] Caterpillar: HD5xxx and higher GPUs are supported by the current drivers, HD2xxx through HD4xxx are supported by legacy drivers that require an older X server. [14:53] Nvidia should definately be your card if you want to adopt linux with proprietary graphics drivers [14:53] Caterpillar: But, personally, I prefer the open source drivers. [14:53] adamk: lol they even dropped 4xxx [14:53] mad at amd [14:54] ok thx for the infos [14:54] lmat: How did you install the driver? [14:55] adamk: download and run. [14:55] adamk: let me see if I can get the link.. [14:55] sudo apt-get "name" [14:55] lmat: Well I'm seeing no sign in that log file that the proprietary driver is even installed. [14:55] adamk: http://support.amd.com/us/gpudownload/fire/Pages/fire_dell_linux.aspx [14:55] ubuntu 13.04 keeps waiting to mount an external drive that no longer exists every boot until I press S [14:55] adamk: me, too [14:56] adamk: The performance is definitely different, though!! [14:56] aura_: remove it from /etc/fstab [14:56] adamk: I used to be able to use 3 monitors but now I can only use one :( [14:56] adamk: When I ran unit_support_test (I think that's what it's called) it has an error (can't open libGL or something) [14:56] lmat: Well you are now using the fbdev driver which has no acceleration. [14:56] lmat: And only supports one monitor. [14:56] I use Ubuntu in winter, it'll be warm. [14:56] <_joey> what's a favourite utility for cd and dvd copying [14:57] lmat: In the process of attempting to install the catalyst driver, you managed to disable the open source driver. [14:57] adamk: Ahh! [14:57] And now, It's hot here. [14:57] adamk: The reason I tried to install a new driver is because unity_support_test said that I was using software rendering. [14:57] adamk: This makes me want to invest my time writing open source drivers. [14:58] lmat: Is this a laptop with a hybrid GPU?

[14:59] adamk: if its' fancy, I doubt it :) [14:59] one [14:59] adamk: and it's terribly non-descript: "AMD nee ATI Device 682d" [14:59] OK, so no hybrid graphics. I would think the open source drivers support that GPU, then. [15:00] adamk: oh, that's only for radeons...I have firepro .. [15:00] Does anybody speak Chinese? [15:00] MatthewX: Of course, silly. [15:00] !zh | MatthewX [15:00] MatthewX: 如欲獲得中文的協助，請輸入 /join #ubuntu-cn 或 /join #ubuntu-tw [15:00] lmat: Nearly every Firepro video card from the last... 5-10 years, I think, has a radeon GPU at it's core. [15:00] hello [15:00] adamk: good to know :) [15:00] adamk: Any suggestions? [15:01] Check under /etc/modprobe.d/ for anything blacklisting the radeon kernel module. [15:01] I'm a new guy, are you in Taiwan now? [15:01] adamk: Oh yeah, the installation asked me a question up front... [15:02] "Install driver v9.0..." or "Generate Distribution-specific Driver package" [15:02] I think I tried the former the first time, perhaps I'll try the latter? [15:02] lmat: http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Comparison_of_AMD_graphics_processing_units#FirePro_.28Mxxxx.29_Series Shows that the M4000 has an HD7770 radeon GPU at it's core. [15:02] adamk: :) [15:03] lmat: Personally, I would try getting the radeon driver working. [15:03] "There were errors during package generation." [15:03] adamk: Ahh, grab up hd7770 radeon drivers? [15:04] lmat: Ubuntu comes with the open source radeon driver. I would be interested in knowing why that wasn't working and trying to fix it. [15:04] Which is why I suggest checking to see if radeon is blacklisted. [15:04] adamk: me, too! [15:04] All, Need some help! Installed LAMP, PEAR/PECL and then phpseclib. Now need to be able to run right combo of ssh-keygen to get into local id_rsa file, for automation of SFTP cron script. Anyone have the right syntax for this? [15:05] adamk: cd /etc/modprobe.d && grep -C 2 -i radeon $(find) [15:06] adamk: returns "# radeon conflicts with AMD Linux Graphics Driver" and "blacklist radeon" [15:06] adamk: Does that mean that linux has blacklisted all radeon devices? [15:07] adamk: brb, gotta restart for driver installation... [15:07] It means that your attempt to install the proprietary driver blacklisted the open source radeon kernel module, which is why Xorg is failing to load the radeon driver. [15:07] ... [15:09] okay, reinstalled drivers, same effect. [15:09] What drivers did you reinstall? [15:09] adamk: same ones [15:09] Why would you think that following the same procedure (which didn't previously work) would suddenly start working? [15:09] both totem and vlc view H264 - MPEG-4 AVC (part 10) video black (sound ok) on ubuntu 12.04. any obivious fix?

[15:27] lmat: Well according to your log file, you're still using the Xorg fbdev driver... [15:28] lmat: [ 12.832] (WW) Warning, couldn't open module fglrx [15:28] adamk: It might be working better just because of those soft links :o [15:28] lmat: The driver is not installed, or not installed properly. [15:28] hello folks [15:28] quick question [15:28] lmat: find /usr/lib* -name fglrx_drv.so [15:29] does anyone have experience setting up a displaylink/usb display in ubuntu 13.04 ? i really have no idea where to start and google is just showing old info that doesn't seem to pertain to 13.04 [15:29] If Installed Lubuntu as an OS can i removwe it (since now i'v installed Ubuntu Desktop" ??? [15:29] adamk: got it. [15:29] L30: You can get rid of the lubuntu-desktop and lxde packages [15:30] adamk: my xorg.conf says "Driver "fglrx" " [15:30] guys, I have an virtual box installed ubuntu server, with some softwares and configurations, It's a Rails apps web server, with database and everything. I am about to pay a VPS, wich uses the same distro/version. There's any way to upload like a copy of my server to the VPS? I don't want to setup everytinhg again. [15:30] hi, for some module testing i need to stress the 12.04 server. what is the option available to stress the server interms of cpu, memory, network and io? [15:30] so i wont have any problems logging in? My fear is that when I uninstall It will remove the session manager and stuff like that [15:30] lmat: OK.... But as you can see, it clearly can't load fglrx because it's either not on your system or not where it is supposed to be. [15:30] SonikkuAmerica: Past that using the phpseclib extension to PEAR, but key keep failing as wrong gen syntax. Works fine in FileZilla, and so assume I have key in ~/.ssh/known_hosts, but found I have 2 of these file, so not sure which contains the key for FileZilla, or if FileZilla has it's own file holding it's own keys. [15:30] hey all; i'm trying to de-duplicate data on my hard drive. I'm running linux, and the volume is NTFS. is there an easy way to do this? [15:30] adamk: Ahh, perhaps I'll simlink it to /usr/lib :) [15:31] lmat: It's an Xorg module, not a normal system library. It does not go in /usr/lib/ [15:31] adamk: ahh, good to know :) [15:31] adamk: I thought it's a kernel driver module [15:32] lmat: fglrx.ko is a kernel module. We haven't even checked if that exists. [15:32] TBotNik: Hmm... better ask someone who knows about PEAR then. [15:32] adamk: didn't find it in /usr [15:32] sc30317: de-duplicate? [15:32] SonikkuAmerica: If I know where the key file is for FileZilla, and the right "export" cmd, then could get the "id_rsa" file I need for the autmation script. [15:32] lmat: Then it's not getting installed at all on your system. [15:32] adamk: excellente :) [15:33] adamk: trying again [15:33] lmat: Have you checked to see if the driver is installable via jockey? [15:33] adamk: never heard of jockey, I'll check it out. === DouglasK is now known as DouglasKAway [15:33] TBotNik: Oh... that's just [ ssh-keygen ] then, unless you have the id_rsa and id_rsa.pub already. [15:33] adamk: And before you berate me for trying to do the exact same thing and expecting different results.... [15:33] adamk: I've created openGL simlinks :) [15:34] lmat: jockey == "Additional Drivers" [15:34] I didn't berate you before... I simply asked a question :-) [15:34] SonikkuAmerica: yup, I see now :) [15:34] adamk: :) [15:34] how do i search through the names and descriptions of packages that i have installed ? [15:34] adamk: whoa! It looks like it has driver suggestions. Unfortunately, it's suggestions, not suggestion. [15:34] how to reset mysql with error #1045 Cannot log in to the MySQL server [15:34] doh! "No proprietary drivers are in use on this system." [15:35] D'oh indeed. [15:35] tuffgong: Try [ sudo dpkg-reconfigure mysql-server ] and enter a new root password for the server. [15:35] We already know that that aren't in use :-) [15:35] hello, trying to update server but get message "E: Internal Error, No file name for libpython2.7-minimal" [15:35] whenever I try to do anything [15:35] is there a way to rollback packages [15:35] to before [15:36] adamk: I'd like to undo the havok of this proprietary driver but "./driverfile.run --uninstall" fails. [15:36] antihero: First, is python installed? [15:36] (It should be) [15:36] lmat: This is what happens when you don't use the recommended methods for installing proprietary drivers. [15:36] adamk_: seriously :( [15:36] SonikkuAmerica: I think s [15:36] adamk_: I thought going to the manufacturer was a remarkably impecably recommended way :( [15:36] lmat: Honestly, I doubt there's a whole lot of havok that has been done... Clearly the installer didn't even install the most basic component, the Xorg module. [15:36] yes [15:37] lmat: So I would just install the driver through Additional Drivers, cross your fingers, and reboot. [15:37] antihero: (o) OK... try installing libpython2.7-minimal via apt-get then. [15:37] adamk_: it screwed up libGL :( Clearly, don't trust manufacturers, they know nothing, trust Ubuntu (in this case, jockey). [15:37] adamk_: There are three choices: [15:37] adamk_: "Experimental AMD binary Xorg driver and kernel module" [15:37] SonikkuAmerica, still have the error #1045 Cannot log in to the MySQL server [15:38] SonikkuAmerica: https://gist.github.com/radiosilence/3ac5d9066fc434f1fd54 [15:38] adamk_: "...AMD... proprietary ... driver (**experimental** beta)" [15:38] adamk_: and " ... (post-release updates)" [15:38] tuffgong: Are you trying a remote (IP address) login or one from localhost? [15:38] adamk_: (the third is the same as the second except inside () ) [15:39] Well I'd avoid the experimental/beta one :-) Go for the post-release update, I think. [15:39] SonikkuAmerica, localhost [15:39] adamk_: Sounds like te right way to go :) [15:39] tuffgong: Try purging and reinstalling. === asj_ is now known as Guest92166 [15:40] I tried apt-get install -f [15:40] SonikkuAmerica: The key gen should not be dependent on the technology calling. Right should be just "ssh-keygen" but have to have right option set or default goes to ~/.ssh/known_hosts and then do not have the "id_rsa" file needed to execute the automated script. [15:40] but I get the python error [15:40] any way with firefox to open type=video/mp4 video in external player? [15:40] TBotNik: Check inside ~/.ssh [15:41] SonikkuAmerica, can i have the command for purging the package [15:41] SonikkuAmerica: Encrypted, so meaningless! [15:41] arrgh [15:41] I can't reinstall python-minimal [15:41] as it complains I have unmet dependencies [15:41] TBotNik: You have an encrypted home folder? [15:41] tuffgong: [ sudo apt-get purge mysql-server ] [15:42] antihero: Not installable? [15:42] SonikkuAmerica: Understand I open the file and is nothing but hash! [15:42] can we password protect an application? for e.g.: it should ask for the password, each time I open thunderbird ? [15:42] how do I give apt a "solution" ie replace with python [15:43] SonikkuAmerica, and coomand for reinstalling the package [15:43] TBotNik: That's what an SSH key is - "nothing but hash." [15:43] tuffgong: [ sudo apt-get install mysql-server ] [15:45] SonikkuAmerica: I'm on Kubuntu 12.04 (modified DT), but base install otherwise, and all .ssh file are encrypted by default. Not sure about the home dir, but running all cmds as root and that is also encrypted! [15:45] TBotNik: root doesn't use your SSH keys.

[15:47] basically there's a partially installed libpython2.7-minimal throwing a spanner in the works [15:47] so I need to like [15:47] replace that [15:47] or re-do it or something [15:47] help :( [15:47] antihero: Please don't flood; use http://paste.ubuntu.com to paste; don't use Enter as punctuation. [15:47] Hi guys, I have a really stupid question, I'm quite lost, as it's 2nd day in Debian-like repo. I want to set up a xen bridge via Ubuntu's suggested /etc/network/interfaces. I configure stuff, it works after first reboot, but after second reboot whole network table gets messed up and additional bridges get spawned. [15:47] clean? [15:48] SonikkuAmerica: I see some examples where they show something like "ssh: hostIPaddress: keyhash, and those were telling you to copy the right "host" line into a new "id_rsa" file, but all mine is all hash so not possible to ID the host within the file. === milind is now known as abyss42 [15:49] ah, dpkg [15:49] sudo dpkg --configure -a magic [15:50] when I login with a non-sudo user I can see the message: "355 packages can be updated...." [15:50] TBotNik: Just delete the old id_rsa and id_rsa.pub and generate a new key using [ ssh-keygne ] [15:50] why does this happen? [15:50] TBotNik: *[ ssh-keygen ] [15:50] SonikkuAmerica, still error appears http://imagebin.antiyes.com/index829.html [15:51] SonikkuAmerica: No such files to delete. === Pricey is now known as pricey-test [15:51] TBotNik: In ~/.ssh/ ? If not, just generate new ones. === pricey-test is now known as Pricey [15:52] chro: that happens because of motd-script. [15:52] MagBo_, does it have some config file that I can see? [15:53] SonikkuAmerica: That is my problem, running ssh-keygen remotehostipaddress does not produce any such file. ssh-keygen, but itself creates access code only for the current machine/OS and that also dumps into ~/.ssh/known_hosts, not to a file. [15:54] chro: https://wiki.ubuntu.com/UpdateMotd [15:54] SonikkuAmerica: BRB, got to check something! [15:54] TBotNik: Not when I ran [ ssh-keygen ] by itself. It generated a private and public key in ~/.ssh/ that I could export. [15:56] okay, it seems like it doesn't create bridge interfaces indefinitely long. [15:56] It just creates xenbr0-2. [15:56] and wrecks the routing table. === xubuntu_ is now known as domino [15:59] is there a room specifically for x or l ubuntu?

[18:05] Hello [18:05] so it is both a "partition backup" that I can restore to the harddisk again (with dd?) if needed, and a "file bakup" where I can easy get files from [18:05] hello plokami666 === Cyberspaceloa is now known as Cyberspacelurker [18:07] I have a question about usergroups, is this the right place to ask? [18:08] If I understand correctly, compiz is the window manager for Unity? [18:08] lmat_: yes [18:08] So, what happens when I run compiz --replace ? [18:09] I was able to fix my corrupted apt thanks to http://ubuntuforums.org/showthread.php?t=1904226&p=11586018#post11586018. [18:10] Okay, I'm guessing this is a place to ask my question [18:10] yeah and if you ask it you might get the answer too [18:10] Google has failed me on this one. Is it possible to change the default /home directory for new users? [18:11] As in, instead of it being at /home when user example is made, it would make an example dir under /var/www [18:11] I open Ubuntu (Unity), run ccsm, select Wobbly Windows and it doesn't work. [18:11] This should work, right? [18:11] I'm talking about the automatic home directory when a user is made though. Not manually changing it every time. [18:12] plokami666: http://bit.ly/10ttAvL [18:15] good evening all I recently setup a postfix mailserver and was using squirrelmail as a fronted mail client....everything was working until I accidently removed the dir now upon re-installation the page won't load all I can see is the php code [18:15] squirrelmail is set to run out of /var/www/squirrelmail [18:16] lmat_: Please learn to read. Thanks for the useless response though :) [18:16] hi, i need to i'm trying to install the kernel header packages so that i can compile VMware tools, but when I did it last night, i didn't have the right package. could someone please tell me what the correct one is? [18:16] plokami666: hmm...I thought it was pertinent. [18:17] plokami666: "change the default /home directory for new users?" right? [18:17] I already spent around 30 minutes looking around google with no valid results. [18:17] !kernel | junix659 [18:17] junix659: The core of Ubuntu is the Linux kernel: see https://help.ubuntu.com/community/Kernel - You shouldn't have to compile your own, and if you need to troubleshoot issues, you can try a !Mainline kernel instead, but if you insist, see https://help.ubuntu.com/community/Kernel/Compile (see also !Stages) [18:17] plokami666: The top result appears to answer your question. Does it not work? [18:18] plokami666: Ohh...how are you creating the new user? [18:18] i just need the proper headers file [18:18] ugh [18:19] It doesn't seem to work, no. [18:20] and I'm doing useradd [18:20] plokami666: hmm, interesting. [18:20] That's on 12.04 [18:21] how do I find out what is causing my periodic lock ups? They usually go away after a minute or two. [18:21] on a fresh 13.04 install [18:22] jakemp: setup locks or system freeze? === jordan_ is now known as MiniD [18:22] plokami666: And you tried `useradd -b /var/www username` ? [18:22] Hi all. Does anyone know if there is a way to adjust mouse sensitivity in 13.04? It appears that it has been merged with mouse acceleration, which I want disabled. I have managed to disable mouse acceleration via xinput but there is no way that I can see to adjust the sensitivity afterwards. This seems like a huge oversight to me from the Ubuntu devs. [18:22] system freeze, lotuspsychje [18:22] jakemp: what your machine brand? [18:23] Hi. How to get rid of the initial sound in KUbuntu? [18:23] lotuspsychje, I have chromium Xchat, gedit and 2 terms open. Lenovo T420, i5 2520, 8GB RAM [18:23] How do I remove Virtual packages (I am trying to remove ircd)? [18:23] plokami666: or `useradd -b ...` ? [18:23] jakemp: ssd hd or magnetic? [18:23] ssd. New samsung 840 256GB [18:23] http://fidel.cast.ro lol [18:24] jakemp: did you change bios from IDE to AHCI? [18:24] yes [18:24] please, i just bought a lg ultrabook with windows8... how can i enter in BIOS to able the usb boot? [18:24] and not more fast boot [18:24] it does the diagnostics [18:24] plokami666: And you edited /etc/adduser.conf ? [18:24] MiniD, apt-get --purge remove ircd [18:24] RxDx: Press del or f2 during bootup [18:24] jakemp: network boot enabled or not? [18:25] lotuspsychje, I left /var and /temp on the SSD for now, and I have no swap space. No network boot enabled [18:25] vesayth: didnt work... boots too fast [18:25] MiniD, as root or otherwise use sudo [18:25] jakemp: i had my acer freeze on ubuntu with network boot off, try set it enable [18:25] rysh: I still get the message "Virtual packages like 'ircd' can't be removed" [18:25] RxDx: It probably doesn't have a BIOS but uses EFI. [18:25] RxDx: You can tap them repeatedly without worrying. That's what I usually do when it's too fast. [18:26] lotuspsychje, okay, I'll try that next reboot [18:26] jakemp: how far you get in ubuntu setup? [18:26] jhutchins_wk: how can I edit EFI configurations? [18:26] MiniD: any output from: dpkg-query -Wf '${Package} - ${Provides}\n' | grep ircd; [18:26] RxDx: Look for documentation from your hardware supplier. [18:26] lotuspsychje, it's installed. [18:27] been using it for a day [18:27] jakemp: oh sorry, any logs with relevant errors on your freeze? [18:27] no idea [18:27] jakemp: you might wanna check /var/log/syslog.1 [18:27] MiniD, indeed ... apt-cache show also shows "apt-cache show ircd N: Can't select versions from package 'ircd' as it is purely virtual" [18:28] RxDx: One of the goals of Windows8 with secure boot was to make it impossible to boot to another OS. [18:28] Picture of my whore ex-girlfriend topless: http://imagetwist.com/bht271uw0ng2 [18:28] lol [18:29] This whole mouse sensitivity thing really has me stumped. I can't find any info out there other than how to disable the acceleration. It's so weird and backwards that they completely removed perfectly good configuration options in 13.04 that have been working great for years. [18:29] 3.2.0-44.69 locks up when mounting filesystems. are there reports of ecryptfs related issues? i can boot 3.2.0-43 w/o problems, and 3.2.0-44.69 recovery boots and runs fine until i try to mount filesystems via safe-x path [18:29] rysh: ya "dpkg-query -Wf '${Package} - ${Provides}\n' | grep ircd" outputs ircd-irc2 - [18:29] What do I need to do to remove ircd? [18:29] MiniD, maybe sudo dpkg -r ircd works ? [18:29] MiniD: there you go, try removing ircd-irc2 [18:30] MiniD: no wait, I read the output incorrectly [18:30] vesayth: I just posted some mouse configuration info this morning... [18:30] MiniD: are you sure you have anything installed? virtual packages aren't real packages, they are just Provides lines in other packages [18:31] MiniD: is there a binary that is starting that you are trying to get rid of? could try: dpkg -S /path/to/binary; [18:32] trism: the irc server is still running so I am assuming it is still installed... (could this be a false assumption) [18:32] vesayth: Arch has some good docs: https://wiki.archlinux.org/index.php/Mouse_acceleration [18:32] jhutchins_wk: this isnt the right channel for arch urls mate [18:32] vesayth: So do we: http://askubuntu.com/questions/172972/configure-mouse-speed-not-pointer-acceleration http://askubuntu.com/questions/8506/decrease-mouse-sensitivity-below-the-standard-limit [18:33] What is better for ubuntu? Keepass2 or KeepassX ?? [18:33] lotuspsychje: Information is information, it's common to xorg. [18:34] will this make a perfect partition bakup: "sudo dd if=/dev/sda7 of=/media/myusbdisk/bakup.img" (and if I want to access a file on it "sudo mount -ro loop /media/myusbdisk/bakup.img /mnt" (if my / is at sda7) ? [18:35] and can I copy the image back to a real partition with dd on another harddisk if the one I have breaks? [18:35] It is located in /usr/sbin/ircd ... [18:35] MiniD: okay try: dpkg -S /usr/sbin/ircd; see if you get a package name [18:36] jhutchins_wk: neither of those options work [18:36] xinput doesn't have any settings for sensitivity, only acceleration [18:36] and the system settings mouse dialog merged acceleration with sensitivity in 13.04 [18:37] making it impossible to use that dialog to adjust them independently of one another [18:37] Ok thanks I got the package name of "ircd-irc2" and was able to remove it with apt-get autoremove [18:37] this wasn't a problem in 12.10 or prior. In fact, I don't think it's ever been a problem in the history of Linux [18:39] vesayth: did you upgrade or clean install raring? [18:40] lotuspsychje: clean install. It isn't a bug from what I can tell. In fact, various articles online are touting this new "feature" as an improvement [18:42] lotuspsychje: example article from omgubuntu if you search "13.04 mouse acceleration." Not sure if I'm allowed to post a link to those sites in here? [18:42] vesayth: im already on that page tnx :p [18:43] vesayth: Pointer Acceleration’ and ‘Pointer Sensitivity’ have been merged [18:43] lotuspsychje: Right. That's what I understand. But that is the most awful thing ever. There must be a way to get around it [18:44] vesayth: lemme check in unity-tweak-tool holdon [18:44] or maybe dconf, should have mouse settings too [18:44] lotuspsychje: so far I have tried xinput and dconf with no success in either place [18:45] both only have options for acceleration [18:45] i have used xinput to disable the acceleration, which is fantastic, but I can't adjust the sensitivity afterwards making it moot [18:46] Hi guyzzz [18:46] can any 1 tell me if MS SQL SERVER can be installed on Ubuntu 13.04? [18:47] vesayth: sorry its not in unity tweak tool [18:47] !lamp | abc__ [18:47] abc__: LAMP is an acronym for Linux-Apache-MySQL-PHP.

[19:42] shadows: did you try again? there seems to be a bug in indicator-appmenu (or perhaps gtk) where the menu doesn't display the scrolling arrows until the second time you look at it [19:42] trism: correct you are! [19:42] trism: got a bug # handy? [19:43] anyone willing to take a look at my mouse speed adjusting troubles posting and offer feedback? https://answers.launchpad.net/ubuntu/+question/229234 [19:43] shadows: I do not, I just noticed it in okular when I have too many bookmarks, let me take a look [19:43] blebaford: update only updates the catalog. [19:44] I am on a 1.66GHz processor with 1024MB of RAM. Should I keep Xubuntu or try out Ubuntu? I need a friendly interface as I am not well-educated with Linux :) [19:44] trism: this is easy to reproduce problem, lets make sure it is reported [19:44] User123: i would go for ubuntu 13.04 [19:45] User123: I would recommend sticking with xubuntu. [19:45] User123: if your looking to a like distro i would recommend lubuntu [19:45] User123: full Ubuntu experience is more dependent on RAM and GPU compatibility, you could try the livecd to see how well it works :) [19:45] lite weight* [19:46] User123: You don't have to reinstall, you can just add lxde for lubuntu or gnome for regular ubuntu. [19:46] +1 ^ [19:46] ubuntu [19:47] im using ubuntu now but it was crashing a lot during installation [19:47] hey guys there's a driver for a networks adapter, that I used before, that was working on ubuntu 9.04 [19:47] User123: I have a box with a 2.8G processor and 1G of RAM and it's not very happy with Unity. [19:47] the driver is at76c503_usb [19:47] I shall continue with Xubuntu. However, I am currently having an issue with apt-get upgrade. Could I post the pastebin? [19:47] but now it doesn't work on ubuntu >10 [19:47] jhutchins_wk: what grafix card inside that box? [19:47] User123: Use paste.debian.net, and give us a general summary here. [19:48] is there anyway to upgrade to ubuntu >10 and maintain the same driver? [19:48] lotuspsychje: Intel 910 [19:48] http://paste.debian.net/6381/ [19:49] jenev: I suggest you ask the at76c503a user forum [19:49] I'm not sure when this began happening. I'm a new linux user and I am not educated in this field at all. I had my Xubuntu OS not booted for a couple weeks. I come back and try to update, and this is what I'm getting now [19:50] jenev: Ubuntu supports upstream drivers only, and personally I did a quick search to try and find help for you but I don't see any [19:50] shadows: what do you mean "upstream drivers"? [19:51] and a driver is present on version 10 and upwards it just seems to be buggy [19:51] buggy in what way? [19:51] Any thoughts? :o [19:51] User123: dpkg-reconfigure --all [19:52] jenev: drivers must be accepted by the Linux Kernel developers or else, it is the responsibility of the manufacturer / author to make sure this happens or they update it themselves [19:52] jenev: in the case of a "rogue" driver and no one maintains it for newer Linux Kernel interfaces then you're just out of luck? You could learn to program and update it yourself possibly [19:52] szahrat: I can't say exactly 'how' but the adapter doesn't connect to any networks [19:53] trism: hmmm is there any way to make that dynamic? [19:53] tirsm: because we use the same changelog to build the package on different platform [19:53] s [19:53] jenev: hopefully there is another person out there who fixed it themselves and shared the improvements, but you have to find that with some research [19:54] shadows: ok, will search around some more [19:54] Diranged: might ask in #ubuntu-packaging , I don't know how others do it, I just use a bit of sed to update the distribution [19:54] ok [19:54] thanks [19:55] ok, I installed the fglrx drivers [19:55] and now in the bottom right of my screen I have a watermark that says "AMD UNSUPPORTED HARDWARE" === wookiehangover is now known as w12r === hagedonm is now known as mhagedon [19:56] shadows: don't see a bug for it immediately, looking more like a gtk bug, since I can reproduce it with: UBUNTU_MENUPROXY=0 gedit; [19:56] trism: interesting [19:57] trism: would you kindly point me to the bug # if you file?

[19:59] nob: what graphics card? [19:59] hd 7700 i think [20:00] shadows: is it possible to use ndis wrapper for the device? [20:00] note that the adapter is usb [20:00] jenev: Possibly... I've done that before for USB device [20:00] maybe i will try reinstall one more time [20:00] this will be the 3rd reinstall in 24hrs.. [20:01] nob: why do you keep reinstalling? [20:01] jenev: what's the make and model of your device? would research that and "ndis wrapper" and say a recent 3.8.x kernel release of Ubuntu like uh 12.10 === timrc_ is now known as timrc [20:01] What do you think reinstalling is going to do for you? [20:01] gordonjcp: ubuntu giving random errors and stuff not working [20:01] nob: "random errors"? [20:01] lol [20:01] And why would reinstalling suddenly make things work, if it hasn't the first two times you installed. [20:02] adamk: exactly [20:02] nob: may be a case of your hardware is "too new" and not all the issues have been triaged [20:02] nob: no OS gives "random errors" [20:02] gordonjcp: now it is telling me the swap file is not loading, adn the AMD hardware is unsupported [20:02] not able to update 12.10 from 12.04 [20:02] shadows: this computer is at least a year old [20:02] nob: pastebin the error message *verbatim* [20:02] As for the watermark, that's the fault of proprietary drivers, and I gave you a workaround for it. [20:02] dev/mapper/cryptswap1 is not ready yet or not present [20:02] nob: did you check the driver supported hardware list before installing the flgrx? [20:03] xatcon: any errors mate? [20:03] nob: try a very boring install with say no encryption, ext3 (or ext4) filesystem, and mostly defaults don't try to tweak it too far [20:03] anybody have expiereince with installing ubuntu on a mac mini 2.1 (2007) with usb on a completely blank drive (no installed operating system on the drive im installing to start with) [20:03] OCMURF: I've installed it on a Macbook of that sort of age [20:03] shadows: yep, I don't want to tweak it, I just want to keep it simple and make it work [20:03] i get the same 'error' because i dont use a swap file on my home box that used encrypted home [20:03] ya ...failed to fetch [20:03] !mac | OCMURF [20:03] OCMURF: For help on installing and using Ubuntu on a mac, see: https://wiki.ubuntu.com/MactelSupportTeam/CommunityHelpPages [20:03] nob: then, just go with all the defaults when you install [20:03] the default gfx drivers are unusuable, everything just lags [20:04] nob: don't mess about with encrypted drives [20:04] nob: well mate, you're welcome to query (privmsg) me here I wouldn't mind walking through it and determine if it's worth the trouble [20:04] nob: what's your graphics card? [20:04] it's an amd hd 7700 i think [20:04] get an encrypion error so dont use encryption? [20:04] odd advice [20:04] nob: Seriously, enough complaining about the graphics drivers. If you want to use the propietary driver, and want to remove the watermark, I told you how. [20:04] I am now installing the fglrx-updates driver to see if it maeks a difference [20:04] SolarisBoy: well, get it working first [20:05] The standard driver is unusable [20:05] SolarisBoy: encryption is stupid, anyway [20:05] gordonjcp: indeed [20:05] gordonjcp: completely disagree with you on that. [20:05] Sadly, the fglrx driver is known to put an unsupported watermak on supported hardware in some circumstances. [20:05] SolarisBoy: about the only thing it's good for is ensuring you lose all your data if anything happens [20:05] do i just follow the mac 1.1 pages? [20:05] SolarisBoy: and disks are slow enough as it is, without the crippling performance hit of encryption [20:05] OCMURF: yes [20:05] <|Slacker|> I keep getting the Unautenthicated sources msg everytime I use Ubuntu Software Center, any help? [20:05] xatcon: got router or proxy that blocks? [20:06] gordonjcp: this is your opinion? [20:06] isn't encryption important... [20:06] nob: not if you value speed [20:06] nob: it can be - it depends on your need - if you need it - make it work - [20:06] OCMURF: you will need to create an EFI USB stick [20:06] Well it shows this not ready thing [20:06] does anyone know / can tell me how to remove the ubuntu one [sub]menuś in nautilus, i though i removed all of it via the software center just *not* that one, im using dropbox and gDrive i dont want nor need yet a 3rd one [20:06] Then it says continue to wait, or skip [20:06] "isn't having 100 wives important" maybe for some men... [20:06] nob: gordonjcp i dont notice any difference on either of my encrypted drivs solid state or rotating disk - [20:06] OCMURF: I don't know if you need to use something like Refind if you're not using OSX [20:06] but if I wait 10 seconds its continued [20:06] lotuspsychje : when getting new pakages .....suddenly abort [20:06] SolarisBoy: it slowed my machine down to the point that it was unusable [20:07] how can I erify if it loaded [20:07] so i think thats hogwash - if you did it - and it wasn't just because you wanted to explore the coolness of encryption - like you had a reason - then dont NOT DO IT BECAUSE IT DOESNT WORK - thats crazy - and to say encryption is useless - is silly - [20:07] xatcon: http://askubuntu.com/questions/281445/upgrade-from-12-04-lts-to-12-10-failed-forbidden-downloading [20:07] Ok, I am using the fglrx-udates driver now and it does not show the watermark [20:07] SolarisBoy: I tried it out to see if it made a difference to speed [20:07] Hello [20:07] SolarisBoy: it made a huge difference, so I wiped and reinstalled *without* encryption [20:08] the speed difference is a given - it's about the protection - [20:08] SolarisBoy: you'd trade "protection" (from what, anyway) for data integrity? [20:08] when you say im going to encrypt a drive your accepting some speed draw back - [20:08] SolarisBoy: cool it, frood. I gave advice directed to a newly Ubuntu user and to be clear our Ubuntu installer's idea of "encryption" is a joke that makes it difficult to determine what is working well and what is not [20:08] shadows: yup [20:09] so provide faulted info to the user?

[20:26] lol [20:26] well i liked it better when it protected someone from picking up your computer walking away disconnecting the drive - and accessing your data like it was theire @encryption [20:26] lufusol: I am more worried about financial stuff and personal details that could be used to rip me off [20:26] nob: then again - yes - encrypt - [20:27] nob: was half joking there but srsly that sounds like some pretty specific malware [20:27] im in no rush since im done with college so an interesting project would do fine [20:27] xatcon: looked around a bit, in theory if you just try again it should pick a different mirror [20:27] lotuspsychje : i dont understand [20:27] nob: did you confirm that the swap entry is in /etc/fstab? [20:27] ok i will try [20:27] nob: if so you can try to mount it with -v and see if it throws an error - [20:28] ok how do I try to mount it [20:28] how can I read /etc/fstab [20:28] nob: cat /etc/fstab and look for the cryptswap drive - is one way [20:29] nob: and you can simply sudo mount -av and that should try to mount everything in fstab warning on things that are mounted already - === Guest12 is now known as Logan_ [20:30] ok [20:30] http://pastebin.com/C3YN8DHS [20:30] shadows: not going to file a bug on it at the moment, but would be interested in subscribing if you do [20:30] sorry I lost the last thongs you said [20:30] its ok - let me check your pastebin out..

[20:44] puff: there are at the moment two possible approaches: 1) install server, then add ubuntu.desktop [20:44] i think i have compiz [20:44] your welcome lauratika [20:44] 2) install via minmal CD, puff [20:44] I have nothing using my resources. What should I do?

[21:10] OCMURF: any old remote they have? or yeah their cell phone [21:10] OCMURF: for XBMC I thoroughly recommend Yatze [21:12] hello. is there some cluster monitoring tool that shows the current load (as given by htop) on a set of machines (to which I connect via ssh) ? [21:12] BauerUK: web ui ftp also good? [21:13] nope were all pretty much either Apple iphone or indestructable workmen phones [21:14] OCMURF: what's your $ budget [21:14] lotuspsychje: in a pinch, yeah. i'm using lftp at the moment on the comand line (over ssh) but yeah, ftp would suffice. [21:15] 20-30 but im from the uk [21:15] okay lbs then [21:15] OCMURF: I was thinking what about a Wii remote [21:15] ha [21:16] BauerUK: net2ftp [21:16] surely someone has documented using a Wii remote with xbmc [21:16] Hiya. Could I get some help, please? [21:16] really? [21:16] lotuspsychje: great. i'll check that out. [21:17] OCMURF: well in favor of Wii remote is it is easy to find accessories at the store for it in any big box store [21:17] how do you connect to the computer with it [21:17] is it IR or Bluetooth [21:17] OCMURF: it's standard bluetooth [21:18] I'mma just come out and say it. Basically, I'm trying to connect up my Windows machine to my Linux machine using SSH (PuTTy) and I can't seem to connect. And I dunno whattado :( [21:18] OCMURF: some of the protocol stuff needed reverse engineering but that's already popularly available [21:18] And I can't edit the etc/ssh/ssh_config file because apparently I'm not owner [21:18] TheMaker: is openssh-server installed? [21:19] Uhh [21:19] TheMaker: are you connecting to a LiveCD or an installed system? [21:19] I dunno, I literally just installed it [21:19] oh okay [21:19] sudo apt-get install ssh [21:19] it will pull in the packages for both client and server [21:20] i guess since it will be used on a tread mill a wii remote would be good since i know them things can take a beating [21:20] try "ssh localhost" from your Ubuntu machine to prove that it is running [21:20] Yeah, but I dunno how to do the commands without being connected to the SSH. [21:20] Hi, if I ping to a website/domain is working but if I wget to the same website , there is no response. I am using ubuntu server 12.04.1 [21:20] OCMURF: wii remote looks very nice and so, good luck to you!

[21:26] Noiro: there are a lot of good tutorials online regarding gimp [21:27] Noiro: on Ubuntu w/ GIMP 2.8.4 there's two options; you can select the Brush (which also impacts size) and then you can scale the size of the selected brush [21:27] it's part of generic Tool Options dialog [21:27] though, yeah look to th0r [21:28] That's the issue, I don't think I have generic tool options. I set correct brush, but all I see is spacing and opacity, both of which are meh. I am following a tutorial and I just need to make a quick 16x16 [21:28] go th0r! [21:28] you'll want a tutorial specific to your major version (i.e. GIMP 2.8.x) because these methods changed a bit over the years [21:29] DJones, guntbert: Where do I find the minimal? http://www.ubuntu.com/download only lists desktop, server, cloud and something in kanji.

The Window is called Tool Options [21:33] jbinstalls: I don't think you install them, you use java to run them [21:34] jbinstalls: th0r is correct. [21:34] is java tool on 12.04 [21:35] jbinstalls: jar files are similar to tar or zip files, but they contain compiled java programs. You need java to do anything useful with them. [21:35] jbinstalls: Yes, java is available for 12.04. [21:35] got you so i need to actually find java installer?

[21:37] i have a problem i just install ubuntu mix Cinnamon 12.04 [21:37] i guess we're better off with intel? [21:37] jbinstalls: Normally you would double-click on the jar file icon and that would cause ubuntu to use java to run the jar file. [21:37] [Errno 2] No such file or directory: '/tmp/tmpMbve6L/metadata.json' [21:37] Nexuus: nvidia drivers couldnt be any easier :x [21:37] Nexuus: the ones on nvidia's site?

[21:38] jbinstalls: Unzipping it will not be useful. [21:38] jbinstalls: Why are you trying to run a jar file? [21:38] sere: Quite easy, also quite useless...

[21:41] went round n round with a windows version wanted to try linux version [21:42] no data found for how to install the linux version [21:42] Killcraft: I'd say knowing how to compile your programs is a splendid skill, but they're not packaged then though. [21:42] hello [21:42] guess they think all linux users are compilers [21:42] Mayank: Try "telnet ubuntu.com 80" to get an answer. A ping is no valid test to access a website due these are different protocols. [21:43] puff did u se the download link? [21:43] jbinstalls: Hm, you might be better off asking on an arduino channel. [21:43] jbinstalls: Hm, there's #arduino. [21:43] kristenbb: o/ [21:43] i am getting this message by trying to install an application,,[Errno 2] No such file or directory: '/tmp/tmpMbve6L/metadata.json' [21:43] arduino works apparently just cant get multiwii to see the board [21:44] jbinstalls: http://www.rcgroups.com/forums/showthread.php?t=1432577 [21:44] Mayank: A ping is using ICMP as a network protocol while lynx and wget are trying to connect via TCP, the default port is 80 (for HTTP). With "telnet " you can simulate connects to a host/ip on a given port via TCP. [21:44] i just need a hint on making a linux installation of multiwii [21:44] grmpy: It says Connected to ubuntu.com. Escape character is '^]'. [21:45] jbinstalls: Yes, but this is a very funky, specialized piece of software, you're more likely to find people on #arduino who have figured out how to make MultiWiiConf work with ubuntu than to find people on #ubuntu who have happened to try out MultiWiiConf. [21:45] jbinstalls: Check out the link I just pasted. [21:45] hey [21:45] thnks wiull try to sort out how to find arduino channel [21:45] jbinstalls: Did you look at the link I just pasted? [21:45] jbinstalls: http://www.rcgroups.com/forums/showthread.php?t=1432577 [21:46] I'm running and intel 64bit processor so does that mean I can use the ubuntu 64 bit iso? [21:46] How can I check and see if my drivers are up to date in Ubuntu 12.04 LTS? [21:46] Mayank: try responding with `GET /index.html HTTP/1.1 host: www.ubuntu.com` [21:46] for my video card [21:46] because I notice it says "amd64" [21:46] jbinstalls: Open up your favorite text editor, create a file named "run.sh" in the directory where you unzipped MultiWiiConf. [21:46] sammy: thanks puff will endeavor further [21:47] Mayank: well it sounds like you're getting a response of some sort. I'd move on to using wget/curl and adding some debug flags. [21:47] Mayank: and as a personal note, when web browsing in a text terminal (like I happen to be now), I use links2 instead of lynx [21:47] jbinstalls: Let's have this convo on #arduino, it's pretty quiet there and this is probably more on-topic there. [21:48] hoi [21:48] hello there [21:49] sammy: yeah, but that does appear to be the issue here. any pointers on what wget/curl debug flags I could use? both curl and wget timeout without the debug flags [21:49] Dutch??? [21:49] How can I check and see if my drivers are up to date in Ubuntu 12.04 LTS for my video card?

[21:52] Mayank: Are you using IPv6? [21:53] grmpy: I am not sure, how do I test that? [21:53] can some one help me with this problem that am getting: [Errno 2] No such file or directory: '/tmp/tmpMbve6L/metadata.json' [21:53] hello? [21:54] are the updates of the islamic software in ubuntu ME available in the ubuntu repositories? [21:54] sammy, grmpy: wget on unbuntu.com is giving a valid response. But it fails on google.com - why? [21:54] Guest63820: without context no one can help you === Cyberspacelurker is now known as Cyberspaceloa [21:54] Mayank: For example "ifconfig -a | grep inet6" as root. If you get any addresses you may have configured IPv6 for your device. [21:54] jbinstalls: I was looking into those flight controllers for quads and they look really cool, have you build anything like that?

Maybe there is a IPv6-problem on your system/network/firewall [21:55] Guest63820: give more information in your question [21:55] pick one: ubuntu ce / ubuntu me / ubuntu se [21:55] :D [21:56] well i am trying to install an application and it giving me this message: [Errno 2] No such file or directory: '/tmp/tmpMbve6L/metadata.json' [21:56] Anyone point me to an easy dummy style howto for setting up dns? [21:56] grmpy: No thats not set. I am not using IPv6. [21:57] Guest63820: what application? Installing how exactly? Is that the full output? etc. [21:57] Mayank: thats a good question. I can `wget google.com` and I get a response no problem. if I had to guess, I'd say maybe its a useragent issue? and the proxy is acting weird because youre using wget/curl/lynx etc and not firefox or ie or chrome [21:57] Guest63820 are you using ubuntu 32 bit or 64 bit? [21:57] Mayank: but it works with ubuntu.com hmm... [21:57] i am 64bit [21:58] Mayank: does wget with --verbose give any indication why it falis trying to get from google.com? [21:58] sammy: it works with ubuntu.com and Google.com on lynx opens fine on another machine [21:58] Guest63820 do "apt-get install ia32-libs" and it might work [21:58] hy [21:58] i will try that === mike is now known as Guest38057 [21:59] Guest63820 do it now and let me know [21:59] Someone who can help me pl?

So there is a blank for addr: right? [22:01] How can I make my ubuntu server visible in public network internet? [22:01] do you have a static IP?

[22:06] hi ubuntu [22:06] Mayank: but I assume if you're using lynx and wget you don't have X windows running? i guess tcpdump could be used. id have to do some googlefoo to find the right commandline. something seems terribly fishy. [22:06] !find xboxdrv | qpucka [22:06] qpucka: Found: xboxdrv [22:06] whoops [22:06] qpucka: ask erming he is me know it all [22:06] sammy: looks like this is a ipv6 issue only. [22:06] I have a PPPoE connection from my ISP and that go in my router, my server is attach to that router. [22:06] qpucka, its in vboxdrv-dkms [22:06] thank you szahrat it worked you are the men [22:07] wc [22:07] Mayank: oooooh. I know you can force wget and curl to use ipv4.I bet you can do the same for lynx. thanks for the heads up- I was stumped :P [22:08] bazhang: i don't see that package "vboxdrv-dkms" [22:08] virtualbox-dkms qpucka my error [22:09] bazhang: should i install that package instead of virtualbox-4.2 ? [22:10] For some reason, none of my network interfaces work. Is there a way to reset the ip's and get new ones? I currently have a wifi dongle plugged in, and have 2 ethernet cables plugged into 2 ethernet ports. [22:10] qpucka, alongside [22:10] bazhang: thank you. trying now. [22:11] sammy: thanks for the help. [22:11] newbuntu: in Xwindows or at the command line? you could try something like `sudo service network-manager restart` which would try to restart all networking connections set to be managed automagically [22:11] hey all, I have a question. why is that hdmi isn't working all of a sudden? [22:12] Ari-Yang: the cable fell out [22:12] It was working fine last week, I just hook up with hdmi and run xrandr --auto in terminal to get picture on the tv, then simply change the sound [22:12] lol th0r, I don't think that's it :b [22:12] grmpy: I disabled ipv6, but now ubuntu.com or google.com both of them are not working. Do I need to restart the networking? - cannot do it right now, I am on ssh and I am afraid if it will come back. [22:12] but it's strange, xrandr says that hdmi is connected when I run: xrandr in terminal.... [22:13] sammy: Well. I'm last night my wlan0 was working. After compiling some kernel packages, only lo interface showed up. Currently I've booted into the last kernel and can see my interfaces. However, I can't seem to figure out how to connect to any wifi acesspoints. The icon in the corner doesn't show up. [22:14] sammy: nvm.. restarting the network-manager seems to have done the trick to some degree [22:16] newbuntu: sudo dhclient -r wlan0 to release the dhcp ip it should be getting (or whatever the inteface name is that you see in ifconfig for the adapter you want) then sudo dhclient wlan0 (or other interface name) to renew the ip. This assumes it is somehow already connected to the AP [22:18] genii-around: so now i'm connected to the router.. but DNS seems to fail.. is there a way to manually refresh the DNS cache.. or will tdhclient do that also? [22:20] Hi, Im trying to install Ubuntu 13.04 and it's hanging [22:20] I'm currently booted live on a thumbdrive, the install is hung on "Who are you?" but there is nno progress bar at the bottom [22:20] newbuntu: If it's not resolving dns properly, it's likely some setting on your router. Because it's supposed to give that info to your computer at the same time it assigns an ip by dhcp. For expediency if you need immediately, you can always put the Google public DNS ip numbers into /etc/resolv.conf [22:20] I pressed Continue and now the buttons are disabled [22:21] All fields have checkboxes beside them, as if they were filled out properly. [22:21] * wallbrik Image Share -> http://picshare.web.vu [22:21] I have installed Qtv5.02 but now I receive this error: PyQt5 requires Qt v5.0 or later . what should I do?

Thanks [22:21] Here is an image of my 13.04 install hanging... any ideas?

[22:39] I am not able stream videos on ubuntu [22:39] Ok, back, going to restart the installer. [22:39] no 3rd party or updates [22:39] no encryption [22:39] stef1a: So what all did you remove? [22:40] still /home on the hd, swap on the hd, and / on the SSD [22:40] duxb: What is your question? [22:40] ryanturner how are you able to chat and install at teh same time though [22:40] usr13: i don't remember. flgrx (or fglrx? not sure) may have been one [22:40] (the installer detected the existing ubuntu13) [22:40] nvm, I can barely add any file to this .jar wtf? [22:40] betrayd: running live version [22:40] okay, I'm going to test hdmi again(after installing updates like updating the kernel) [22:40] usr13: currently I'm using Win7 because I can't really use ubuntu without a mouse. [22:40] betrayd: and then rrunning installer within the live [22:40] ryanturner erase is completely [22:41] stef1a: You obviously did something rather drastic if only the guest acount works. [22:41] Also I've reinstalled ubuntu twice and it hasn't worked.

[22:41] box* [22:41] stef1a: So you can't use ubuntu without a mouse? [22:41] Noiro: I thought you had the idea. You don't add to a jar file, you don't install a jar file, you simply run it with java [22:41] anyone need help with chromium [22:41] duxb: mplayer ? [22:42] yeah, hdmi just stopped working =/ [22:42] usr13: I can. It's just frustrating. For instance, I can't use alt + tab to cycle between open windows, so if I were to get help in irc, I wouldn't be able to input commands simultaneously. [22:42] usr13: can it run without X running? [22:42] th0r: I'm trying to add to the minecraft.jar. :P He does it fine on the video in winRar? Why not Ubuntu? [22:42] duxb: yes [22:42] usr13: awesome, thanks!

[22:43] stef1a: Nor trobuleshoot [22:43] apparently it wont let me encrypt my home dir in the install for some reason... [22:44] stef1a: Do you know how to use irssi? [22:44] I'm just trying to add a png to the items folder. :/ [22:44] :) [22:44] usr13: yes. I also have another computer. I suppose I could use both at the same time [22:44] stef1a: sudo apt-get install irssi [22:44] usr13: I'll come back later / tomorrow and do that, because I have some work I need to do right now. [22:44] ryanturner maybe its trying to lock out the drive you happen to be using... [22:44] usr13: I know how to, and have long been, using irssi. [22:44] betrayd: nothing is mounted [22:44] betrayd: so thats impossible :P [22:45] stef1a: Okey Dokey. We'll be glad to help. [22:45] need help with my chromium [22:45] Noiro: you would have a much better chance of finding help on a java irc channel [22:45] please help [22:45] But this is Ubuntu, and it is the default Archive Manager stopping me, not Java [22:45] JP_: state the problem first? [22:46] my internet connection drops when trying to stream videos [22:46] windows WinRAR works fine. :P [22:46] JP_: /join #chromium [22:46] JP_: anything in dmesg? [22:46] ryanturner did you get to the part to set partitions though? [22:46] JP_: That does not sound like a browser problem. (I could be wrong, but...) [22:47] vanishing :cannot load web page at this time, try after some time pretty generic though [22:47] so hdmi doesn't work, even when xrandr says it's connected and I don't get 'no signal' on the samsung tv, it even says it's connected.

[22:48] JP_: by dmesg i mean type dmesg in a terminal and read the output === sammy is now known as Guest91976 [22:50] /part [22:51] how do you change the hdmi output resolutions with xrandr and how do I know what the resolution output is set to? [22:52] maybe hdmi stopped working because it's using and unsupported resolution? [22:52] Ari-Yang: HDMI should 'just work' if you have good graphics drivers on [22:53] daftykins, yeah, it was working last well like I said, with me just having to run xrandr --auto in terminal [22:53] xrandr says hdmi is connected, but there is not picture on the tv [22:54] and the tv is acting like it's getting a picture and everything is fine (there's no 'no signal' message) [22:54] there's just no picture =/ [22:54] no sound either === Cyberspaceloa is now known as Cyberspacelurker [22:55] Ari-Yang: did you do anything different in the order you turned on the TV + computer? [22:56] no, not at all.... [22:56] did the exact same order [22:56] Ari-Yang: kernel version? [22:56] only thing that changed on this laptop is WINE being installed [22:56] OS: Linux 3.5.0-31-generic x86_64 ** Distro: Ubuntu "quantal" 12.10 [22:57] http://pastebin.com/raw.php?i=1Z7n0sG7 <--- output of xrandr with hdmi being connected [22:58] Ari-Yang: laptop - does it normally swap to TV only, clone onto both, or is it both displays at once? [22:59] only problem I had last time with hdmi was getting sound to work, I fixed it by adding radeon.audio=1 to the appropriate line in GRUB [22:59] Does chromium not exist anymore? [22:59] chromium downloads lead me to chrome [22:59] daftykins, last time I used hdmi, both laptop and tv screen were on and displaying picture [23:00] right now the tv is a black screen thinking hdmi is hooked up (it is, it just not showing any picture) and the laptop screen is working fine right now [23:01] adie you sure? i just installed chromium 30mins ago [23:01] ari-yang does your laptop have Fn keys of a different color [23:01] you can try the "apt-get install chromium-browser" [23:01] FN key? yeah it does, betrayd [23:01] it's blue FN key [23:01] Ari-Yang: stupid question, i take it you tried a reboot to see if it'd do anything different after [23:01] yeah I did [23:01] did nothing =/ [23:02] does it do much pulling and replugging? [23:02] yeah, I unhooked it and hooked it up back again [23:02] I just hooked it up now [23:02] tv says 'no signal' [23:02] I didn't run xrandr --auto in terminal yet [23:03] I ran xrandr --auto, HDMI is "working" now, says 'no signal' on the TV, again, just no picture :S [23:03] Ari-Yang the Fn (blue keys) + the video mode has 3 settings like daftykins said, laptop only, laptop+external or external only [23:03] Ari-Yang, i've not followed the discussion, but: System Settings > Displays [23:03] is the external monitor visible there? [23:04] erming, http://gyazo.com/8845763cb93b91fea1133ce1b9085e46 [23:04] betrayd, I hit the FN key but nothing happens... [23:04] am I suppose to hit something else along with the FN key? [23:04] an old computer i had, required fn+ some of the F buttons [23:05] which had a little sign of a computer monitor [23:05] try it with F4 [23:05] that thing, which seemed to be built into the motherboard/whatever, could activate the different ports [23:05] bazhang: i couldn't install -dkms alongside -4.2 so i removed -4.2 and installed -dkms with the appropriate extpack. usb error is gone but guest installation now hangs. i'm not sure what's going on now. [23:05] Ari-Yang there is a blue disply mode icon like erming desribed [23:05] the fn key and functions usually control hardware aspects of the machine [23:06] such as monitor switching [23:06] no nothing happens =/ [23:06] The blue Fn keys work at BIOS/BOOt time Ari-Yang (common rookie whine: they don't work) [23:06] try all of the function keys with FN [23:07] but I never had to mess with FN before.... [23:07] are you sure that's the problem? all I had to do before was run xrandr --auto and everything worked fine [23:07] this will elimintate 'no signal' [23:08] I am trying to mount an hfs+ volume so that I can read files on it that I do not have permissions for. I tried mount uid=myuidhere /dev/sdc6 myfilesdirectory/ and it doens't work, it just lists the man page [23:08] is there any obvious syntax error? [23:08] thpe_: trailing slash on your mount point isn't necessary i don't think [23:08] well I hit FN with all Fs (F1 F2 F3 F4 F5 F6 F7 F8 F9 F10 F11 F12) [23:08] thpe_: plus /full/mount/path may be best [23:08] daftykins, you are right,but I get the same error without it [23:09] no go :S [23:09] err: lack of error [23:09] just unplugged hdmi [23:09] hum.. well auto worked b4 on the same machine? [23:09] Ari-Yang it works at BIOS/BOOT time, so you have to hit the key to prolong BIOS time [23:10] don't hit it while you're chatting [23:10] thpe_: have you looked at the output of 'dmesg | tail' to see if it's commenting about what went wrong? [23:10] you may have to specify the rez etc in the xrandr [23:10] mindless_chaos, was that question directed to me? if it is yes, it worked just fine last week === gary is now known as Guest57986 [23:10] I don't see anything obvious. [23:11] betrayd, you want me to try all F1-12 keys with hdmi hooked up? [23:12] Ari-Yang you dont see any icons on your f keys? [23:12] hold FN and just click your way through them, worth a shot :) [23:12] ari-yang but at BIOS boot time, not while in session. once you get boot progress showing on both, work on xrandr [23:13] erming, there are icons, I did that already.... and yes there are icons [23:13] betrayd, so you want me to restart my computer [23:13] and when the bios message pops up, what do I have to hit, f12? [23:14] Ari-Yang: do you have another display hooke dup to this box? [23:14] then AriYang hit whatever key gets you in BIOS setup, that way the blue FN combo kleys can work longer [23:14] histo, another display hooked up? no not at all [23:15] betrayd, I think I see what you're saying, but I'm having a feeling that isn't necessary, how is it connected to this problem? [23:15] So does anyone know how to add files to a jar? I always get errors but Winrar for Windows does it fine. Why wouldn't archive manager? #java is invite-only [23:15] Ari-yang no signal is what you get now right, get rid of it first [23:16] Noiro: i'm sure there are more archivers? [23:16] daftykins: do you know of a working one? [23:16] there is rar for nix [23:16] Noiro: basicly any would work [23:17] betrayd, so you want me to go into BIOS with hdmi hooked up? [23:17] Noiro: i'm afraid not, but i'd hope a quick google might say what works [23:17] http://www.technoish.com/wp-content/uploads/2011/04/Dell-Inspiron-N5010-Keyboard.jpg there's this laptop's keyboard layout [23:18] Ari-Yang on some laptops the BIOS menu will also ask for display setup. (laptop only, ext+lap or ext only). The shortcut combos can do that, but only during a limited interval [23:21] hi guys, why i can't run vmware 9 after installing on ubuntu 13.04??? [23:21] any fix? [23:21] please help thanks. [23:21] so Ari-Yang navigate the BIOS settings for display if you can, if they're not there go use the combo keys. You're trying to get a signal but as far as the screen sees it, its unplugged. Trivial to fix then work on xrandr [23:21] I love ubuntu 13.04, [23:21] betrayd, okay, I see what you're saying. But why is that I get the feeling this has nothing to do with hdmi? :S [23:22] vmware 9 workstation on ubuntu 13.04 complain about kernel thing....help me how to get it running. please [23:22] Ari-Yang sure feel free to ignore me, but I'm trying to eliniate 'no signal' which is your first problem. Surem ignore this, and I'll still see you next week =) [23:23] betrayd, no need for the sarcastic 'smile' =/ I didn't say I won't do it, I just said that I don't think this has anything to do with HDMI, I'll try it in a few min. saving some stuff before restarting. [23:23] can anybody help me out with xubuntu 13.04 [23:23] wait, should I disconnect hdmi when I go into bios? [23:23] or unplug it? [23:24] Ari-Yang: I'd leave it connected [23:24] Ari-Yang yes^ [23:24] alright [23:24] cano: no one can help you unless you state the problem..:D [23:25] Ari-Yang ok glad you keep an open mind. [23:25] cano: besides, /join #xubuntu might be a better idea [23:26] i've just installed xubuntu but when i restart i can,'t load it === Guest91976 is now known as sammy [23:26] cano , what is the error message ? [23:27] cano: error messages? [23:27] What do you guys think the life expectancy would be of a system installed on a USB flash drive? [23:27] Ari-Yang these folks may have dealt with it too, so keep your options open [23:27] Or to put it another way, would it fry the chip due to exessive read write cycles? [23:27] memand , large [23:28] root______: Large, beeing the life expectancy? [23:28] memand , infinit [23:29] memand: Most flash drives get 20-30,000 write cycles. So just don't put your swap on it [23:29] please how to install vmware 9 to work with ubuntu 13.04 [23:29] Ok figured it out, turns out I need to roll back file-roller since the newest one is a dud [23:29] betrayd, I found nothing in bios dealing with displays [23:30] when you absoluely have to have to open a file, that would be the end of its life expectancy [23:30] and now my screen resolution is messed up O__o [23:30] btw, I'm not talking about doing this http://www.ubuntu.com/download/desktop/create-a-usb-stick-on-ubuntu but rather doing a "propper" install on the stick [23:31] memand: any particular reason for that? [23:32] come on guys [23:32] vanishing: So that I can have everything other than the grub patition encrypted with LUKS [23:33] alright, got my display back [23:33] welp, that didn't work :S [23:34] can someone tell me how to install vmware 9 in ubuntu 13.04????? it does install but not working...gosh [23:34] phong_: im not farmiliar with vmware 9 [23:35] but try to run it from terminal [23:35] and see if there are any output [23:35] vanishing, u want to remote to my pc?

[23:36] Ari-Yang, 828 916 464 [23:36] i pm u the password [23:36] I'm confused lol [23:36] hold on [23:36] Hi, I have verified that haproxy sends a log message to syslog on localhost which is listening on udp port 514. However the message is not written to the logfile from syslog. Why is that? I have created /etc/rsyslog.d/10-haproxy.conf with the lines: $ModLoad imudp $ServerAddress 127.0.0.1 $UDPServerRun 514. What am I missing? [23:36] phong_, oh you want to see if you can help me out with hdmi not working? [23:36] Ari-Yang, you help me [23:37] with what?

I have the .deb, but it has dependencies upon trying to install [23:37] Ari-Yang: you could charge by the hour [23:37] nor do I know about 13.04 [23:37] lol th0r xD [23:37] Ari-Yang he want to lay back in his chair and let you fix his problems :) [23:37] * Ari-Yang has his own problem to try and fix XD; [23:37] man, vmware 9 is not working in ubuntu 13 [23:38] freaking vmware [23:38] phong_, maybe use another VM?

[23:40] anyways, I'll do some more googling with this hdmi problem. shame though it just stopped working out :V [23:40] to run some vmware stuff [23:40] Ari-Yang i wish you good luck! [23:41] Ari-Yang: I didnt get the whole chat [23:41] phong_ to run what? :) [23:41] win os [23:41] i'm using ubuntu 13.04 and my mouse and unity don't work. There is no dash and no launcher. I'm using an HP ProBook 4535s laptop. I've tried reinstalling over my old 13.04 when the problem first came up, but it hasn't helped. Help? [23:41] but, would you think its a graphic driver problem? [23:41] usr13: I'm back! and I'm on ubuntu now! [23:41] I doubt it [23:42] I didn't change my graphics driver nor mess with them :o [23:42] phong_ i would go the other way around by the way. vmware have alot better support actually running on windows [23:42] thanks erming for the good luck wish [23:42] as far as i know [23:42] Ari-Yang :D [23:42] Ari-Yang: anything in logs? [23:43] vanhelsing_, I'll say it again in case you missed it. last week I got hdmi just fine by hooking up the hdmi cable, then running xrandr -auto to get picture, then switching sound settings to hdmi output, done. everything worked out [23:43] phong_: alright...installed teamviewer [23:43] lol [23:43] logs? what logs should I look at? [23:43] ok [23:43] need my id? [23:43] vanishing, 828 916 464 [23:43] Ari-Yang: dmesg, syslog..you know..the usual suspect [23:43] vanishing, pass is: k1x78d [23:43] ah [23:43] ~.~..why did you give out all the info in public [23:43] lol [23:43] oh [23:44] let me change pass then [23:44] does KDE have a better ifle manager? [23:44] forgot about it [23:44] meh, doubt anybody cares [23:44] just log [23:44] Noiro better depends n what you prefer [23:44] i dont think anyone care [23:44] help, please, anyone? [23:44] vanishing, go ahead and log in [23:44] MonkeyDust: Current version of file-roller in Gnome does not work. Does KDE have a different one? [23:44] vanhelsing_, the dmesg log I should check is under /var/log right? [23:44] Noiro "not work" meaning? [23:45] hmm... I see dmesg and dmesg.0 [23:45] I'll check dmseg [23:45] Current version does not allow dragging files into zip directories. [23:45] Noiro install KDE and try [23:45] vanishing someone should just learn him a lesson.. log in and shut down his IRC :) [23:46] erming, you mean 'teach him a lesson' lol [23:46] oh, yeah [23:46] I'd rather just switch out the file manager KDE uses for file-roller, is that possible or is it dependant on KDE? [23:46] that'll learn ya [23:47] :D [23:47] Noiro install whatever you need and try, you would then be the expert o the matter [23:47] hmmm [23:47] so I guess I should paste my dmesg and syslog... [23:47] to my defence: it's late here, and learn/teach is the same word in my language [23:47] ah, I see erming [23:47] :D [23:47] Got UnrealIRCd installed and running correctly, any ideas why I can't connect to it? O.o [23:47] I don't know the name it uses, and I'm sure plenty of others have needed to develop in Java and run into this [23:48] also my audio doesn't work (using cvlc) [23:50] is there a driver-updater i can run from the terminal? because i can't use dash... === solitom is now known as blblblbl [23:52] arent drivers normal deb packages from the subscribed repos? "apt-get update && apt-get upgrade" [23:53] omg [23:53] hdmi is working [23:53] :O [23:53] all I did was hook it up to a laptop that I know it would work (windows) unplugged it and hooked it up quickly to mine [23:53] Hi folks, anybody managed to get Bluetooth to work on Xubuntu? I'm on 12.10 [23:53] god, I just hope sound is a-okay [23:54] yes [23:54] everything is working! [23:54] \o/ [23:54] Ari-Yang: congrats [23:55] thanks lol [23:55] I blame hdmi signals :X [23:55] and we now have an hdmi expert [23:55] Ari-Yang: what was the problem? [23:55] i'm using ubuntu 13.04 and my mouse and unity don't work. There is no dash and no launcher. I'm using an HP ProBook 4535s laptop. I've tried reinstalling over my old 13.04 when the problem first came up, but it hasn't helped. Help? (also, audio isn't working) [23:55] Ari-Yang: glad you figured it out [23:56] vanishing, I just hooked it up to a laptop (with windows on it), hdmi worked fine on it, quickly unplugged the hdmi and hooked it to mine, ran xrandr --auto and it sensed my laptop [23:56] whoa that's a wrap \o/ Ari-Yang, make a note of it [23:56] lol yeah xD === root______ is now known as xD [23:57] not working [23:57] also why do i continually get "continue without verification?" from apt-get? [23:57] Ari-Yang: lol..thats the weirdest solution === xD is now known as mpmrmd [23:57] vanishing, not working [23:57] aye, indeed [23:57] phong_: ok..umm [23:57] should i install 12.04 ?

[23:58] betrayd: haha..ye [23:58] people got it work man [23:58] and can people see my text?
