[00:28] that warnings are drangeros Recurrent i dont understand that rkhunter warnings and if they are drangeros [00:29] phillyj: there should be a single line at the end with nvidia on it [00:29] phillyj: maybe a couple [00:29] Profeakti, what about sudo apt-get install chkrootkit [00:30] what's the best guide for dual booting osx and ubuntu on a Macbook Pro 8,1 [00:31] i guess i dont know how to reply with xchat yet [00:31] trism: well, theres a bunch of NVRM lines that say API mismatch: client has v 304.88 but kernal module has v310.14 [00:31] phillyj: ahh you have multiple versions installed [00:31] trism: i think the v310.44 was the beta driver i installed before all this trouble [00:31] phillyj: what do you see in: dkms status; [00:31] can someone tell me why CRDA is only being 'run' when I'm connecting to a secure network?

[00:33] phillyj: well it may be several of the same version for different kernels, do you see different nvidia versions at the beginning of the lines? [00:33] I have fresh setup server with two network cards both setup as dhcp. Each is plugged to different router. Is there a way to change which one ill be default gateway? I want my eth0 be default gateway it looks like eth1 always is default [00:34] trism: 2 are the same beginning and the 3rd is different [00:34] i will go see if check rootkit detects something [00:34] trism: maybe blacklist or remove the beta driver? [00:35] phillyj: yeah you should probably remove it, did you install it from the repo? if so I would just apt-get purge it and then apt-get install --reinstall nvidia-current; [00:36] phillyj: you could: dpkg -l 'nvidia*'; to find the other package name [00:36] Recurrent i am a litle worried can you check my checkrootkit results [00:36] ?

I've been trying to install ubuntu on my new machine for about nine hours now. Link to a reddit thread with more information: http://www.reddit.com/r/techsupport/comments/1f1yew/booting_ubuntu_from_a_usb/ [00:53] to have peace on mind in that period? [00:53] reddit for tech support? You would be better off using the Forums, or askubuntu.com GamersCorp [00:53] I can't get ffmpeg to work with mp3, I keep getting unknown encoder mp3 even though mp3 is listed in ffmpeg -formats [00:53] Profeakti: i have peace of mind by switching to linux from windows; I can't reccomend a tool since it's not a top priority for me [00:53] Dr_willis, I'm sure you're right. :P [00:54] also sumarize the issue.. dont just post a link to a thread on it. [00:54] ok, could someone help me a lil - i dont know what happen. But my 3 computers out of no where are disk full. Baobab shows them as not using all the disk space, but the computer, df and desktop widget show them as full. I just expanded my 25gb drive to a 35gb, and upon reboot, it was full. [00:54] Dr_willis, my apologies. [00:54] ii understand i will post on a forum [00:54] kubuntudisk, seen that happen with some log files constatly growing. (look in /var/log) [00:55] Dr_willis: k-= thanks. [00:55] as you sugest me [00:55] kubuntudisk, i saw one guy had some Xorg log, or other logs just filling up witn some error from some other problem a few weeks ago [00:56] hi all [00:56] ##justberry [00:56] Hi phong. [00:56] kubuntudisk: Does df show it as having 25 GB or 35 GB? [00:56] Dr_willis: happend to me as well (kernel/system log) [00:56] Vanadis_, u there? [00:57] Dr_willis: no, it says its only 22m. Rarrikins yes [00:57] GamersCorp: are you trying to install on another USB or an HDD? [00:57] kubuntudisk: Does du -sh /* give you any answers? [00:57] how can i make Df more specific [00:57] kubuntudisk, also seen log files in the users home grow rappidly [00:57] Phillyj, my goal is to install it onto a hard drive [00:58] kubuntudisk: Use df -h [00:58] kubuntudisk: It will tell you the size in G [00:59] Rarrikins: df -h doesnt show anything. [01:00] Is there a ffmpeg/avconv flag to list a supported list for the -acodec flag? [01:00] kubuntudisk: That's a problem [01:01] Rarrikins: i mean, it shows no different than the fact that its full [01:01] kubuntudisk: What size does it say the disk is? [01:02] it shows the disk being 35 gig, but even with du - - im only counting up to about 25gb of space being used [01:02] im running onto the same problem with my laptop.. [01:02] kubuntudisk: Oh, OK [01:02] i am dl';ing a couplethings do a sepearete drive, and i keep getting disk full there too- and i KNOW thats empty aside from the couple files there. [01:02] sounds like a virus to me.. but- - ? a bit odd [01:03] kubuntudisk: Then, the problem likely isn't with the disk (sometimes you have to tell it to resize it to get it to recognize the extra space), but with files. [01:03] kubuntudisk: Did du -sh /* say anything was using a lot of space? [01:03] eh, usr has like 7gb.. [01:03] var has 2 [01:04] Ok, I'm a little disoriented with everything here [01:04] kubuntudisk: You can use du -sh /*|grep G [01:04] everything else is rather small [01:04] i put it out to a txt file.. [01:04] not seeing much [01:04] For one, NetworkManager keeps starting randomly and its killing my 'net connection. It's really bothering me NetworkManager thinks it can handle my connection better than myself [01:04] I did echo "manual" > /etc/init/network-manager [01:05] nezzario: it would be: echo manual > /etc/init/network-manager.override; [01:05] kubuntudisk: What about your home directory? [01:05] nezzario: sudo service network-manager stop [01:05] nezzario: the .override part is necessary [01:05] kubuntudisk: du -sh ~/* [01:05] err, i may of left out the .override part, i'll check [01:05] Rarrikins: home has 5 gig used.. [01:06] Hey everyone. I am running Ubuntu 12.04.2 amd64 and have a Radeon HD 5670. I use HDMI to one monitor, and VGA through a KVM switch to another monitor. For some reason, my video shows up on my HDMI, but not the VGA. However, ubuntu detects the display in the Display settings. Rebooting, changing the resolution does nothing. Suggestions? (This was working no more than two days ago) [01:06] but its still not adding up to 35 gig [01:06] I'm having difficulty with graphics stuff [01:06] err yeah, my bad on that === Wug is now known as Wug[Hyperspace] [01:07] Ok second issue I'm having, I haven't tested this yet but I was just wondering if this is the best way to disable gdm/all graphical crap on boot: dpkg-divert --rename --add /etc/init/gdm.conf [01:07] Does anyone know how I should go about shudding down x-server so I can use the graphics driver installation/update thing without closing out all gui stuff? [01:07] 12.04 on a usb through netbootin wouldn't boot...default splash screen then keeps retrying to start but doesnt [01:08] This box will be used as a router/headless system 90% of the time, no need for gdm and other unnecessary stuff to be running .. but if I want a graphical interface, I can do so with startx or whatever [01:08] nezzario: you could just add text to the kernel command line [01:08] Nevermind, turning off and on the display in settings worked. Weird, but true! [01:08] nezzario: I know lightdm checks for that in lightdm.conf, I imagine gdm should too (though you could look and see) [01:08] in /etc/default/grub (or defaults) [01:09] by the way, xchat is really nice, on a random note .. [01:09] nezzario: was that directed at me? [01:09] well.. i changed the order of boot devices in bios but after installing ubuntu i can't boot from any usb.. why's that?? [01:10] I tried stopping lightdm, but it kicked me out of my gui when i did [01:10] kubuntudisk: Perhaps try fsck -n /dev/whateveritiszomg [01:10] no, just being silly.. first time i've booted into linux/gnome in forever.. i administer headless boxes at least 4 hours a day, but never deal with this 'other' side of linux :) [01:10] Rarrikins: Dr_willis is there a program or virus scanner i can use to scan the system and identify where the files are being used? - this is like a virus i had with windows bsack in the day.. [01:10] kubuntudisk: That will check the disk for errors without trying to fix them. [01:11] but i didn't understand, i seen on serverfault that it said "newer" versions (of ubuntu) use lightdm by default .. it seems i'm using gdm, even though i'm using 13.04 ? [01:11] In the 13.04 installer when manually creating a partition table, can I not make use of LVM? I want luks(lvm(swap, root, home)) but the default configuration does not suit my needs (it takes up all the disk space on my empty disk) [01:11] it's not too relevant i'm just curious more than anything [01:11] nezzario: yea, I spend a good deal of time via SSH, and don't feel like waiting for Xchat to load over X11 forwarding [01:11] nezzario: are you using ubuntu-gnome? I think that defaults to gdm [01:11] nezzario: though either way, gdm is in the repo, so you could have installed it for whatever reason [01:12] yeah, i really am unfamiliar, I did a headless 100% base install via netinst, then just type apt-get install gnome and walked away for an hour (crappy connection) [01:13] nezzario: ahh yeah that probably installed gnome-shell which would have installed gdm [01:13] does unetbootin do a good job of installing ubuntu 13.04 ? [01:14] because it's frozen on extracting files [01:14] Rarrikins: says clean [01:14] kubuntudisk: Oh, good [01:14] err, one really annoying thing, when ubuntu boots it has this thing very early in the boot process saying "Waiting for network configuration ..." .. then after half a lifetime, says "Waiting up to 60 more seconds for a network configuration .." and then after I popped another gray hair, finally proceeds with booting [01:14] tones: it may not be frozen, it takes a while to extract the squashfs [01:14] Where is that coming from / where do I disable it? [01:15] I'm using wireless here and would prefer just to throw my script in rc.local and manage it totally myself [01:15] trism, in the upper panel of unetbootin, choosing Ubunutu and "daily", is that an updated version of 13.04 [01:15] there is no daily release [01:16] nezzario: that comes from failsafe.conf [01:17] well.. i changed the order of boot devices in bios but after installing ubuntu i can't boot from any usb.. why's that?? [01:17] tones: daily would make me think it is fetching saucy, but i've never used it that way, I always download the iso and then use unetbootin [01:17] lomo6, press "esc" to get into boot menu on startup [01:18] trism, ok..does unetbootin work for you consistently? === Vampire0_ is now known as Vampire0 [01:18] tones: usually works fine for me [01:18] ok gonna reboot now to try 13.04 [01:20] tones: i can't see the usb there [01:20] but in bios yes. === ubuntu is now known as ImAwesome [01:22] boom that was quick ubuntu 13.04 now === ImAwesome is now known as Guest5963 [01:22] Yo guys, I've got a /boot/grub/i386-pc/normal.mod not found error.

[01:23] is there a way to increase the screen brightness in 13.04? [01:23] Hi there, I've been having a problem with installing ubuntu via usb for about 8 hours now. Relevant thread: http://askubuntu.com/questions/300099/booting-from-usb-freezes-fails-to-install [01:23] tones: i can't see the usb there [01:23] kubuntudisk: Try: sudo du -k | sort -n | perl -ne 'if ( /^(\d+)\s+(.*$)/){$l=log($1+.1);$m=int($l/log(1024)); printf ("%6.1f\t%s\t%25s %s\n",($1/(2**(10*$m))),(("K","M","G","T","P")[$m]),"*"x (1.5*$l),$2);}' [01:23] tones: but in bios yes.

[01:45] Thanks dude [01:45] 'make sure the .jar' is executable.. seems a common issue [01:46] screen recorder or stream grabber? [01:46] some jar files may not like being ran that way. makeing a proper .desktop file or script to launch them would be a better idea [01:46] maui, the package manager tools have a 'search' feature that would show some that can do that. [01:47] !info gtk-record-my-desktop [01:47] Package gtk-record-my-desktop does not exist in raring [01:47] Ahh Dr_willis that was the problem, in all the solutions on askubuntu OpenJDK shows up as an application, it does not show in my list of applications [01:47] i cant recall its name [01:47] u mean the ubuntu software center [01:47] maui, that IS one of many front ends to the package manager system that Ubuntu uses [01:47] maui I think he means something like apt-get or aptitude [01:48] i get all the software from the 'ubuntu center', [01:48] software-center has a search feature. ;) as does the cli tools. and synaptics [01:48] is there a website with far more software and reviews for them?

[02:34] anyone have any experience with NFS? [02:37] is there an easy way to hide the menu bar (the one at the top of the screen with the power button/etc)? [02:38] Chris_W_: I have a bit. What's up? [02:39] James_Epp: Im having an issue where some folders aren't available. [02:39] Chris_W_: First things first, did you restart the service after changing /etc/exports ? [02:40] James_Epp: I've exported /mnt/ my media files are stored on /mnt/sdb1/media/ [02:40] James_Epp: Yes [02:40] James_Epp: The farthest I can go is /mnt/sdb1/ and then it looks empty [02:40] Chris_W_: Tell me the line you added to /etc/exports [02:41] /mnt/ 192.168.1.1019(rw) [02:41] /mnt/ 192.168.1.101(rw) [02:41] I myself have never attempted to do nfs into a separate drive, but if you give me 5m I can experiment on my end. === qos|away is now known as qos [02:42] James_Epp: I'd really appreciate that [02:42] the permissions need to be correct on /mnt/ i imagine [02:42] its a bit odd exporting /mnt/ or /media/ over nfs i imagine. [02:42] ? [02:42] !nfs [02:42] nfs is the network file system. See https://help.ubuntu.com/community/SettingUpNFSHowTo for information on installing and configuring NFS. [02:42] test with a simple dirctory first like /shareplace/ and see if that works first [02:42] Why ids that odd? [02:42] Dr_willis: That is what I was thinking, too [02:43] Ive tested with /home/ and it works fine [02:43] Because using NFS for dynamic mount poiints is a little unusual [02:43] and it may 'lock' your mounted stuff and not let it get unmountd. and NFS i recall wnts specific permissions on its shares [02:43] Im not sure what you mean by that. [02:44] what do i mean by what.... [02:44] NFS is picky.. :) [02:44] /mnt/sdb1/ isn't what i would consider dynamic. its an attached hdd [02:44] I have only used NFS for pxe booting with much failure, so I cannot claim to know much. [02:45] Ok, well, here's my situation. I have too computers running Ubuntu server, both connected to the local network. How do i share files between them? [02:45] CIFS is slow as shit with large files [02:46] CIFS tops out at 12megs/sec [02:46] Chris_W_, ive used samba, nfs, sshfs, it depends on what i am doing and shareing [02:46] Chris_W_: If you are on a 10/100 network, I would not expect more than that regardless of the protocol. [02:47] the who network is gigabyte [02:47] whole [02:48] I do not know what to suggest for your situation. [02:48] Between windows machines ive seen 60 meg/sec transfers [02:48] But that is only because of my limited experience. [02:48] If one share works. other does not.. i would check the permissions and ownership of the mountpoints [02:49] and of the owner/permissions of the 'sdb1' after its mounted. [02:49] where would I start with that? [02:49] look at the permissions of a share that works.. then mount your drive.. and check the permissions of its mountpoint AFTER its mounted [02:49] im the only user, so i'd imagine its either root or chris === vegetariancannib is now known as veggiecannibal [02:52] drwxrwxrwx 2 root root 4096 Apr 22 14:45 /mnt/fileserver/mnt/sdb1/ [02:53] thats sort of a weird mountpoint [02:53] you need to check the permissions and owner of all the parent dirctories also i imagine [02:53] thats the permissions AFTER you have it mounted right? [02:54] yes [02:54] its the same output for /mnt [02:54] Hm [02:54] No.... [02:55] check all the directories down to sdb1 [02:55] they're all the same [02:55] and your other share that works has what permissions? [02:56] It could be NFS is not liking those very very open permissions (those dirs look to be 777 to me) [02:56] drwxrwxrwx 3 root root 4096 Apr 22 14:11 /home/ [02:56] they are. [02:57] but NFS works with the same permissions on other folders [02:57] how do i format a drive using a live CD? [02:58] moses gparted [02:59] wait [02:59] I installed ubuntu on this drive [02:59] and when i boot to it [02:59] it asks for the cd [02:59] i dont get it [02:59] what did i do wrong? [02:59] moses: Please don't flood; use http://paste.ubuntu.com to paste; don't use Enter as punctuation. [02:59] moses, give us exact detailas as to what you mean [03:00] Is rmmod permanent or does it come back on reboot? [03:00] So i ran the live CD I selected the installation [03:00] moses, if you mean it asks for the cd when yoy try to INSTALL somthing.. then remove the cdrom from your 'sources' for software - via the software-sources tool [03:00] CM721F, its not permenet [03:00] !blacklist [03:00] To blacklist a module, edit /etc/modprobe.d/my_blacklist.conf and add « blacklist » to the end of that list - To explicitly load modules in a specific order, list them in /etc/initramfs-tools/modules and type « sudo update-initramfs -u » [03:00] how do i do that on a clean install to ubuntu?

[03:01] it just says Loading Operating System ... then on the next line it says boot from CD/DVD: [03:02] moses, and how did you make the cd? === dank101_ is now known as dank101 [03:02] moses: still trying to recover that drive ?

[03:03] 12.04 [03:03] the computer [03:03] the drive is old [03:03] and the computer is decently new [03:03] HOW new [03:03] since 2010? [03:03] possibly [03:03] maybe right before [03:04] could it be uefi issues? [03:04] I doubt it [03:04] what happens when you boot from livecd and mount the drive? [03:05] he cant get a live cd to boot - seems to be the core of the issue [03:05] the filesystem shows up [03:05] no [03:05] i got the live cd to boot [03:05] moses: is this a virgin drive or partitioned with win8 on it [03:05] then im totally missing on what error is showing when and what state you are in. [03:05] this had grubb on it and a windows and an old ubuntu partition on it [03:06] I was trying to boot to the drive after I had installed ubuntu to it [03:06] and it wouldnt boot up [03:06] it would ask for he cd [03:06] If its refuseing to boot the Hard drive.. then double check the bios to make sure the HD is in the boot order. [03:06] i moved it to the top of the boot order [03:06] before i booted to it [03:06] disable the cd in the bios if you want to be hardcore about it [03:06] ok [03:06] for now anyway [03:06] the HD is plugged directly into the PC/mb? and not on some ectra controller card? [03:07] its direct [03:08] BIOS should still sense no CD in drive [03:08] Now it just says Loading Operating System ... [03:08] and waiting [03:08] After I have disabled the cd [03:08] give it a minute or so [03:08] ok [03:09] i hope i didnt ruin it by hitting ctrl alt delete so many times [03:09] k [03:09] now i'm really confused ..

[03:10] After installing Xubuntu Desktop on a standard Ubuntu install and logging into XFCE, my Unity desktop background has been replaced with a blank white background. By going into dconf-editor to org>gnome>Desktop>background and unchecking show-desktop-icons, I can restore the desktop background but, naturally, lose the icons. How can I reset the Unity desktop to its original behavior? [03:10] so it's (ap) <-> (ubuntu) <-> (dd-wrt) === Inoperabled is now known as Inoperable [03:10] moses, should not take more than 30 sec to logon screen [03:10] i could just use another usb AP instead of the dd-wrt but i just do not have another usb one .. [03:11] something is wrong then :( [03:11] moses: are you using a KVM switch? [03:11] does anyone have a decent tutorial for this? because i'm really confused in the aspect of who gets what IP address [03:11] I have had that issue with mine before. [03:11] moses, do you need to keep that drive multi booting? [03:11] Ok. My friend here, nicole_, is a relative newbie. She's having a problem as her IP is clashing with another IP on the network. I haven't used Ubuntu in 5 years and no longer know how to make sure that the wireless card is set properly to get a dynamic IP. I'm not sure if her router is not assigning IPs right or if her computer is assuming an in-use local IP. This is probably chinese to her though. Can someone walk her through? [03:11] No I want just ubuntu on that drive now [03:11] hi, i'm downloading a torrent with Transmission. How can "move" the torrenting job over to Deluge? [03:11] ok [03:11] I should clarify regarding my post above that I understand the difference between XFCE and Unity. I'm having trouble with the Unity desktop wallpaper AFTER logging out of xubuntu and back into Unity. [03:11] i would say wipe it and start over [03:12] so it reinstalls the mbr [03:12] so use the live cd to format the drive? [03:12] then reboot and use the livecd to install ubuntu right? [03:14] veggiecannibal, the router should be set to distribute dhcp to her network [03:15] veggiecannibal, dynamic IP is handled by the ISP [03:15] moses, yes [03:16] ObrienDave: Local IP, from a router [03:16] 1 second [03:16] veggiecannibal, yes, that is handled by setting the router for dhcp [03:16] ObrienDave: It could either be an issue with the router not assigning IPs properly, or it could be that her network card is set to an IP (e.g. 192.168.1.2) that the router already assigned to someone else [03:16] anyone know what it is to hit during the boot to go into advanced install [03:17] veggiecannibal, the router assigns IPs to the devices on the network [03:17] i think its f4 on ubuntu-server === ndevuk is now known as pnode [03:18] veggiecannibal, or, the router has NOT been allowed to assign enough addresses. how many on network? [03:18] veggiecannibal, are you asking how to check if her machine is set up to accept a dynamic ip from the router? [03:18] twig11: exactly [03:18] hi ObrienDave i'm the friend of veggiecannibal thats having the IP problems [03:18] greetings [03:18] moses, when you restart the machine, and it starts to load ubuntu hit F4 [03:19] it will take you into the setup without running livecd [03:19] ObrienDave: 3. That means the router is either set to only assign 2 IPs on DHCP, or one machine is set to a static IP [03:19] AFAIK there is no setting at the computer to check for static IPs. that is all handled by the router [03:19] I ran the livecd and I am having trouble deleting these partitions [03:19] I think they are mounted somehow === dean is now known as dean|away [03:20] veggiecannibal, yes, i would check IP assignment range first [03:20] veggiecannibal, what brand and model of router? [03:20] ObrienDave: but an assignment range of 2 is a little bit unlikely. [03:20] try to remove the partitions and wipe it and do a fresh install [03:21] nicole_: What kind of router do you have? [03:21] veggiecannibal, i've seen it *rolls eyes* [03:21] it has like locked things [03:21] ObrienDave: I think I may have set up this router back in the day and I wouldn't have been that stupid [03:21] things with keys next to them [03:21] linux partitions that I want to delete but cant [03:21] ObrienDave: but you are right [03:21] I dont know how to unlock these [03:21] veggiecannibal, not implying that you did or are :) [03:21] gparted has a menu item to UNMOUNT the partitions [03:22] or right click on them in the file manage and unmount them [03:22] it comes up grey [03:22] one says extended and one says linux sqap [03:22] ObrienDave: I know, you have no way of knowing I set up the router. [03:22] linux swap [03:22] under file systems [03:22] veggiecannibal, no prob [03:23] its a belkin router and i think Obrian is right about the 2 IPs because i can be on the internet and have the desktop on as well but my dad and i cant be on at the same time because we occupy the same IP address [03:23] nicole_, what kind of router? [03:23] are you booted into the livecd right now? [03:23] yes sir [03:24] nvm [03:24] restart and hit f4 before it boots [03:24] i had to select swap off [03:24] before I could delete it [03:24] display? unity [03:24] ObrienDave: its a belkin router [03:24] nicole_, veggiecannibal , that is a very simple way of keeping outsiders off your ISP [03:24] does the live cd have a disk checker and repair by any chance? [03:25] yes [03:25] nicole_, can you get to the setup screen of the router? [03:25] there s a disk checker when you hit f4 [03:25] ok [03:25] when should i hit F4? [03:26] ObrienDave: i have no idea how to get to that [03:26] after bios, after the ubuntu first starts [03:26] when it shows the keyboard [03:26] icon [03:26] ok [03:26] how do i move pointer between displays in unity? [03:26] it will take you to a sub menu [03:26] nicole_, open a browser, type 192.168.1.1 in the address bar [03:26] a little MAN=Keyboard - i think you hit space when you see that.. it shows all the options [03:26] sweet [03:26] ty [03:26] if you do the install from here [03:26] nicole_, you might have to try different numbers for the last 2. [03:27] qin, using dual monoitors and a X server on each monitor? [03:27] you can rewrite the drive how you want [03:27] nicole_, not sure about your router [03:27] how do i know which disk it is checking? [03:27] hmmm [03:27] ObrienDave: Not always.

Had a brain fart [04:00] so riddle me this, I use cfdisk to create a new partition /dev/sdb2, and when I run fdisk -l I see /dev/sdb2, however, when I run mkfs or I ls /dev/sdb* I only see sdb and sdb1. how do I get the os to recognize the new disk without rebooting? [04:01] rather, the new partition. [04:01] three18ti, theres some command to make the kernel 'rescan' the partions.. but i cant recall its name [04:01] fdisk often mentions it after you edit partions.. [04:01] resync perhaps? [04:01] 'resync' [04:01] one of those commands you use once a year. ;) [04:02] ill be checking back every few mins but in say 20 mins or so I have to go to bed for work mighbt have to fix my problem tommarrow [04:03] yea, exactly. thanks Dr_willis [04:03] partprobe [04:04] * Dr_willis dont like things probeing my parts... ;P [04:04] anyone know why I can't drag files into any archive?

If I drag another file into the .jar, it throws an error. Most tell me I'm supposed to be able to to this (and I need to for what I plan to do in the future) [04:06] open the jar file in the archive manager tool.. and drag/drop the file into it that way perhaps? [04:06] I dont use jar files as 'archives' ;) i normally use zip/tgz/bz2 [04:06] I do, I get a popup saying "An error has occurred", not even specifics on what error [04:06] I dont mess with jars. so no idea on jars. [04:06] Dr_willis, I'm trying to do Minecraft modding, so the jar I'm dropping into is the MC jar. I just get the error with any jar [04:07] Same error with .zips as well. :P [04:07] there are othe archive manager guis in the repos also [04:07] 'mc' can also access contents of arvhives.

[05:35] kb8wlu: try a youtube video in hd, to see if your graphics work nicely mate === Logan_ is now known as Bluth [05:35] there was a windows and another ubuntu [05:35] but it doesnt even boot to ubuntu at all [05:35] im not sure why :( [05:35] thats the problem :/ [05:35] ok [05:36] moses: can you tell us what option you chose during setup: wipe whole hd for ubuntu only, or install next to windows or other ubuntu? [05:36] wipe [05:36] whole hd for ubuntu only [05:36] same thing happened [05:36] hmmm [05:36] nope i only get 480P [05:36] thats odd indeed [05:36] then I used that program that deleted the drive [05:37] and i went in manually and deleted the partitions [05:37] then i installed ubuntu again [05:37] and now here we are [05:37] moses: wich program? [05:37] moses: where did you install grub? [05:38] mkquist: setup completed fine he says [05:38] gparted [05:38] mkquist: i didnt install grub [05:38] im not even sure that this live cd comes with grub === Bluth is now known as Featherbottom [05:39] 12.04? === launch is now known as Guest66162 [05:39] real quick - what's the equivalent of du -a | grep, using find? which is more idiomatic? [05:40] moses: are you sure your hd is still working? [05:40] my graphics card wont detect in ubuntu 12.04 [05:40] yeah im pretty sure it is [05:40] kb8wlu: did you check the additional drivers tab? see any drivers there? [05:40] moses: it asks near the end of setting up the install.. [05:40] mkquist: i didnt see that at all [05:41] so it didnt install grub at all :( [05:41] lotuspsychje: dont think he couldve installed w/o a hd [05:41] thats the problem [05:41] yea looking now i see 3 of them let me try all three of [05:41] well, you can boot from the live cd and reinstall or install grub [05:42] kb8wlu: try enable the graphics driver [05:42] lotus where do i do that from? [05:42] moses: when you gparted your drive, did you wipe vista partitions too? [05:43] yes [05:43] everything [05:43] why didnt this 12.04 install grub.... [05:43] WTF [05:43] kb8wlu: software&updates, tab additional drivers [05:43] moses: be calm mate no reason to swear [05:43] it does.. im using 12.04 right now [05:43] sorry frusterated [05:43] you could try loading another bootloader like lilo [05:43] can i reorder partitions by gpt fdisk? [05:44] still my choice... 12.04 [05:44] mkquist: which option did you use to install ubuntu from the livecd? [05:44] moses: try reboot and holding shift to doublecheck grub [05:44] its near the end of setting up the install [05:44] moses: see last [05:44] it didnt ask me that option :( [05:44] moses: and for the record on 11.04 sry [05:46] be right back got to reboot [05:46] will gparted install grub form e? [05:46] me [05:46] moses: did you change bios settings? [05:47] moses: some bios can block an Os to load, that might be your booting to Os warning.. === _BJfreeman is now known as BJfreeman [05:47] lotuspsychje: naw thats not it [05:47] I changed the boot order a couple times [05:48] but it never actually loads the OS [05:48] because theres no boot loader [05:48] moses: it doesnt make sense to me...if setup was complete, grub had to install correctly [05:49] moses: try a reboot right now mate and hold shift after post booting, see if grub works.. [05:50] im looking at gparted right now where would grub normally be? [05:51] moses: try a reboot.. [05:51] hi y'all [05:51] could someone lend me a hand again [05:52] back from yesterday:D [05:52] same problem still [05:52] hehe [05:52] mapps: Please don't flood; use http://paste.ubuntu.com to paste; don't use Enter as punctuation. [05:52] mapps: just ask mate [05:52] moses: http://www.howtogeek.com/114884/how-to-repair-grub2-when-ubuntu-wont-boot/ [05:52] i cant get packets to get outside the LAN ..ubuntu box can reach netbook .192.168.1.65 but any requests to any non LAN ip fail [05:52] checked resolv.con checked iptables no chains at all - also checked ifconfig /iwconfig [05:52] not sure what to do now really [05:52] moses: look down the page.. instructions for installing grub from live cd [05:55] guess noone knows;) === akke_ is now known as akke [05:57] mapps: check to see if router is blocking? [05:57] i can do but i cant see why it would be I havent changed anything on the router [05:57] its just a crappy isp provided pos [05:58] plug the pc directly into the network. bypassing the router.. see if it works [05:58] how?! [05:59] unplug the pc from the router.. plug the cable modem network cable into pc... [05:59] power cycle cable modem, reboot pc.. [05:59] ah its ADSL [05:59] theres the cable/adsl MODEM.. then theres a router.. (unless its both in one) [06:00] na [06:00] both in one dude [06:00] a curious test would be to get a 2nd router.. plug IT into the adsl modem-router.. and see if the linux box works if pluged into the 2nd daisy-chained router. ;) [06:00] i could change the IP it gets [06:00] see if the routers doing sometihng odd based on its IP [06:01] but i cant see why it would - is there anything you can think of i should check within ubuntu the os besides resolv.conf and ptablkes ?! [06:01] can it ping 8.8.8.8 ? [06:01] nope [06:02] anything you can think of OS related mate? :( then Il make it get a new IP and see if thats why [06:02] cant see why [06:04] worked [06:04] thank you so much [06:04] this is one of the reasons i did not buy a cavble-modem/Router combo last year.. when i updated my cable modem [06:05] i had no choice it was sent to me by my ISP when i moved house === phunyguy_ is now known as phunyguy [06:05] i bet you could buy your own and stop renting theirs. [06:05] just annoying i cant think of anything else i could do to try and fix it [06:05] yea thats true [06:05] never thought about it/had the need before [06:05] if you had a second router, you could try chaining them [06:06] ive got a spare cable router heh from when I used cable [06:06] actually wait it might just be a router i think it was basically we had cable modem -> router before [06:07] should i try adsl modem/router -> old router? [06:07] combo modem-routers are a fairly recent thing [06:07] try it and see. [06:07] it will put the pc on a seperate network. i belive by default. you might need to tweak the ip-range the router hands out. === ukdkbr_ is now known as ukdkbr [06:08] ok il mess about noiw [06:08] thanks [06:10] ive setup the interfaces file manually for static ip pretty sure its all right address; 192.168.1.74 netmask 255.255.255.0 gateway 192.168.1.1 [06:10] i must have a box of like 5 old routers from over the years. ;) [06:11] using wifi (wlan0) iface wlan0 inet static - seems to associate fine [06:11] the gateway on the PC would be the ip of the router.. if you do a 2nd router.. it would be using that routers ip.. wich you may want to change the range it hands out. [06:11] yea that is the router is 192.168.1.1 [06:11] main router on 192.168.1.* subrouter on 10.0.0.1 or somthing. [06:11] then wpa-ssid network id wpa-psk network key and it all seems to work [06:11] or 192.168.2.* [06:11] netmask would be 255.255.255.0 for that i think [06:13] damnit made no difference [06:14] be curious if any of the various linux live cds boot on that and get working networking also.,. [06:14] and try wired instead of wireless [06:14] networking was working 2 days ago then yesterday camre home from work started to mess about with VPN [06:14] rebooted and now nothing === KindTwo is now known as KindOne [06:14] hang on could the few changes i made to the interfaces file for vpn have stopped packets getting out?> [06:15] il comment it all out for now and restart networking? [06:15] VPN can do all sorts of things.. this is why i suggest trying the LIVE_CD test. that would give you a solid untouched baseline to mess with === Wug[Hyperspace] is now known as Wug [06:16] ok lets see il comment out these changes i made to interfaces file for now and restart networking and see-i also removed openvpn for now [06:17] ARGHH nope didnt fix it :) [06:22] hey guys i'm trying to write a bash script to run an eval command but i'm stuck here's what I have so far. http://pastebin.com/yg38qDdc === raster is now known as Guest47776 [06:27] is anyone here? [06:28] youngGinger: of course [06:28] hey tozen, i'm trying to run eval inside a bash script but it won't run here's the pastebin http://pastebin.com/yg38qDdc [06:28] there is a #bash channel === qos|away is now known as qos === DouglasK is now known as DouglasKAway [06:40] Hi, I just performed a fresh install of Ubuntu 13.04... when I reboot after installation I get the following error: "error: attempt to read or write outside of disk 'hd0'. grub rescue >" I tried googling and ubuntu forums and was not able to find a solution. Someone please help me out? [06:42] id check how the hd is partioned bambam1 - is this pc running Just ubuntu? or dual booting? [06:42] Dr_willis: No dual boots, simply / formatted in ext4 and swap [06:43] It's a 40 GB drive, does that make a difference? [06:43] bambam1, what partioned the hd? [06:43] and how old is the system? [06:43] Dr_willis: gparted, the system is exactly 10 years old [06:43] technically I'm installing Lubuntu [06:43] is it possible to reorder partition? [06:43] egads. ;) [06:43] 10 yr old.. heh. [06:43] Prescott, 2 GB of RAM, still good enough for grandpa [06:44] assumning its not the HD thats failing. [06:44] guess you could try the boot-repair tool from a live cd and see if it fixs anything [06:44] Dr_willis: Actually, I installed Ubuntu on this same HDD when it was on a different computer [06:44] I'm guessing the issue might be with the BIOS or something [06:45] ive moved a hd to a differnt pc.. installed.. then moved it back. ;) is that what you did? [06:46] Dr_willis: I salvaged this 40 GB from an even older PC that had raring installed. Moved that into this 10 year old machine I'm working with now and it gave me this very same message. So I try reinstalling the entire OS again... no luck... same deal [06:46] It's not an old HDD, actually. SMART reports only 13 powered on days [06:47] It was used as an external HDD before [06:47] er [06:47] not a very used HDD, I should say [06:47] hmm.. a 10 year old hd with SMART? [06:47] Yup [06:47] dident think smart has been around that long.. [06:47] then again. ive lerned to not trust smart... [06:47] Why not? [06:47] does anyone have experience with a plex server ? [06:48] bity, Using PLEX right now. ;) its sort of... AWSOME.. [06:48] ;P [06:48] ya i just got a roku 3 [06:48] If you got a RaspberryPi - check out PiPlex or plexPi [06:48] i do have a pi [06:48] hm [06:48] wife is watching Plex now on her Roku3 - showed her how to do it just an hr ago [06:48] PlexPi is still a little flakey (its in beta) [06:49] my Samsung TV also has a Plex channel. [06:49] do either of PiPlex or PlexPi have the unsupported app store pre isntalled? [06:49] nice [06:49] Appstore? never noticed an apstore on plex. [06:50] Plexpi - is just a plex client.. it has to connect to a Plex server. it cant run as a server (as far as i know) [06:50] its called UnSupported_AppStore [06:50] it is a plugin [06:50] that allows you to watch other channels like 1channel [06:51] ah gotcha, they are client , not server setup [06:51] you add them on your plex server.. [06:51] that is working on some of the channels on my Roku3 - but not all. [06:51] dident really work with PlexPi enough to see if any worked.. some did not.. ddent try them all [06:52] I am Running Plex on a windows box however. Not Ubuuntu. [06:52] im trying to eliminate windows out of my network [06:52] bity: good idea :p [06:53] so i switched the media laptop to ubuntu and tried to run netflix through wine , it worked, but i think it causes all the processing to happen through the cpu, it got pretty hot [06:53] instead of using the gpu/videocard properly [06:53] watching StarTrek ANimeation. now on Plex on the Roku3, from my Windows PC Plex server. ;) [06:53] oh wow autojoined this channel [06:53] the Amazon Prime channel did not work however. [06:53] arent i lucky, to be here, with all of you [06:53] you dukes of maine, you princes of york [06:53] etc [06:58] How do I get a message to appear (like a MOTD) when a user opens a terminal window? === Krabbe_ is now known as Krabbe [06:58] hi i have a eclipse.tar.gz file and i want it to install like .deb package file .... how can i do so ? [06:59] !motd [06:59] theres a MOTD file/service in ubuntu Rarrikins . theres some /etc/motd* stuff that configures it [06:59] Rarrikins: cool question! [06:59] !eclipse [06:59] himanshu_linux, best would be to find a PPA for it - if you need a newer version then whats in the repos [07:01] Rarrikins: is it for server terminal or ssh logins? [07:01] lotuspsychje: For regular, already-logged-in terminal windows. [07:02] Dr_willis : hmm ok [07:02] lotuspsychje: I mean that I open the GUI terminal program on the machine itself. [07:02] Rarrikins: man motd :p just findout its existence [07:02] when a user logs in. bash has a option to show the MOTD of the server. [07:02] what's the ubuntu way to add a new desktop user with rights to cdrom and printers, etc? [07:03] other shells normally do the same thing [07:03] Dr_willis: I've tried to install update-motd package, but it doesn't seem to work unless I'm logging in (Alt-F1 or ssh or something). [07:03] chesty, one way 'sudo adduser username' should givbe all the right defaults [07:03] Sorry, Ctrl-Alt-F1 [07:03] Dr_willis: it doesn;t [07:03] Rarrikins, how else are you wanting to see it? when you Login to X you mean? [07:03] chesty, cant say ive ever had it not work for my users.. [07:04] chesty, thers also the gui tools. [07:04] the gui also doesn't give a user rights to use the printer, for example [07:04] lotuspsychje: man motd works. The motd displays when I do Ctrl-Alt-F1 and log in. [07:05] Dr_willis: When I'm already logged in and open lxterminal or xterm or something. [07:05] Dr_willis: It doesn't ask my password, just gives a prompt, so no MOTD. [07:05] Rarrikins, thats the differance btween a 'login shell' and a normal 'shell' [07:05] try 'xterm' and compare to 'xterm -ls' [07:06] i always disable the MOTD. :) [07:06] if you do a 'touch .hushlogin' then that disables the motd so th euser dosent ahve to see them [07:07] Ahh, yeah, I did that a while back on some server. [07:07] Rarrikins: apt-cache search motd :p [07:08] Hmm, nothing looks good in the package list there. [07:09] Maybe I'll just put a readme on the desktop or something. [07:09] ive not seen a 'motd for when the user logins into X' [07:09] Dr_willis: how about leaving msges for a specific user in terminal? any trick for that? [07:09] lotuspsychje, never really noticed a way.. or needed one. ;) thats what email is for. [07:09] ;P === ruo91 is now known as ruo91^ [07:11] how about adding stuff to bash_profile in users /home === ruo91^ is now known as ruo91 [07:12] id be sort of an annoyed user.., if the system admin was messing in my /home/ [07:12] there is a /etc/bash profile type scripts for that. ;) [07:12] ah ok [07:12] but bash allready shows the MOTD [07:12] IF its a login shell. [07:12] if its a non interactive shell you dont want it showing the MOTD. [07:12] there is write/talk/wall (don't know if by terminal you mean linux) [07:12] has anybody tried the new Pantheon Desktop Environment on Ubuntu 13.04? [07:13] lotuspsychje: I might end up doing that. [07:13] Rarrikins: put it in your .bashrc [07:13] Dr_willis: Any ideas, docs? [07:13] bambam1, on what? [07:14] Doc* [07:15] its 3 am... be a bit more clear. ;) [07:15] maybe cowsay can put stuff automaticly at launching a terminal? [07:15] bambam1: mostlikely your grub config is messed up or your partitions are. It could be trying to load the rootfs outside of the disk [07:15] !grub2 | bambam1 [07:15] bambam1: GRUB2 is the default Ubuntu boot manager. Lost GRUB after installing Windows? See https://help.ubuntu.com/community/RestoreGrub - For more information and troubleshooting for GRUB2 please refer to https://help.ubuntu.com/community/Grub2 [07:16] histo: I'll probably end up doing that [07:16] if you were buying a system76 laptop would you go with the ssd? [07:16] also would you go with a system76 or just get an hp or something and just wipe it to install ubuntu? [07:16] a SSD is an easy thing to add later.. but they are defainatly worth the $$ :) [07:16] switching: ubuntu on an ssd is a very good idea :p [07:17] switching: see also ##hardware channel [07:17] ssd have limited lifespan [07:17] lotuspsychje why? :) [07:17] get a HP.. replace the HD with a new SSD.. and keep the old HD for later when you sell/give away the old laptop [07:17] Hard drives have a limited lifespan also.. [07:17] duSn: i have had not one issue with ssd [07:17] people have limited lifespans :) question is how long is the limit [07:17] dr_willis that's an interesting idea [07:18] Dr_willis: difference is measured in exponetials dude [07:18] when i do a sudo apt-get upgrade I get "The following packages have been kept back: linux-headers-generic linux-image-generic" why? [07:18] switching, thats what i do with my last 4 pcs [07:18] switching: I'd go with anyone but HP personally jsut from my experience. I like what system76 is doing and my next laptop is coming from them. Also my current laptop with ssd boots to graphical login in about 4 seconds [07:18] switching: i use ubuntu 64-bit on an ssd, and speeds are rocketfast [07:18] dr_willis i tend to keep pcs for a long time though [07:18] duSn, citation needed.. ive not seen the diffenance in real life.. but its not really an ON topic for here. perhaps in #hardware [07:18] so i dont really care. ;) [07:18] histo i also like system76, it seems like they put a lot of care into their products [07:18] you are the one mentioning ssd lol [07:19] system75 sort of takes other brand pcs and redo them i thoight [07:19] lotuspsychje that's what i think im gonna do [07:19] he asked if it was worth getting a SSD.. yes it is. [07:19] dr_willis nope system76.com [07:19] switching: very good idea [07:19] biggest speed boost to a pc ive seen [07:19] duSn: good ssds have long write lifespans , slc based iirc [07:19] Dr_willis: I Have two broken SSDs on my desk, one X25-M, one OCZ Vertex. Especially the first-gen stuff seem to brake. [07:19] now what size? ive only ever had 120gb [07:19] switching, last i looke Some months ago. thir systems were identical to some of the ones made by other makers. [07:20] SwedeMike: yes they 1st gen stuff is bad. [07:20] SwedeMike: ocz have bad reputation, but thats offtopic :p [07:20] forst gen stuff.. is always flakier. ;) [07:20] I've used both corsair and sandisk SSDs and have not had issues yet. [07:20] cars, pcs, os's ;) [07:20] All disks fail though so.... [07:20] dr_willis what do you mean identical? they are customizable and have custom laptop cases [07:20] I definatly see more regular HD failure on this channel then i do sdds === calamity is now known as Guest89617 === Computron is now known as Guest57276 [07:21] even my 8gig transcend slc never failed me on ubuntu 64-bit [07:21] i heard you're not supposed to do a full shutdown on an ssd [07:21] reasoning? [07:21] Dr_willis: because SSds are not as popular IMO [07:21] switching, from what i recall reading a year+ ago. a lot of the laptops come from 'whitebox' laptop makers that then take identical mb and parts and rebrand them. [07:21] switching: nonsense. [07:21] switching, but i havent looked at laptops in a year+ [07:21] switching: even ubuntu server hosting ive seen do double 320 SSD layouts [07:21] here is some stuff on ssd http://www.storagesearch.com/ssdmyths-endurance.html [07:22] theres a lot of hype and old 'rules' out for SSD's that might have applied to earlier ones.. but not the newer ones. [07:22] also if i did get a windows pc and wipe it what brand should i get [07:22] switching: There are certain things you can do to extend the life and reduce writes to the disk. Like mounting with noatime,discard options. Also I mount browser cache, logs, and a bunch of /var to tmpfs [07:22] switching, brand wont matter near as much as what chipsets are insde it [07:22] dr_willis their cases appear to be custom made [07:23] dr_willis which are preferable? [07:23] switching, i buy whats on sale. ;) [07:23] histo got it! [07:23] dr_willis nice :) [07:23] if im putting in my own HD, i often get whats on the display/clearance [07:23] dr_willis are you putting in your own processor too? o.O [07:24] the newer ssd are worse - how about get some real info on it [07:24] switching: I would /j ##hardware [07:24] switching, i rarely bother with cpus. [07:24] lets all go to #ubuntu-offtopic for interesting ssd thread [07:24] histo i did :) [07:27] the stack exchange sites have a lot of info/discussion on this also.. but what one guy says.. the others counter. ;) but i imagine the most senciable thing to know is 'buy from a good brand maker' [07:27] that applys to most any hardware you get. [07:29] how can i get +v in ##hardware? [07:30] identify with nickserv? === nevyn__ is now known as nevyn [07:35] switching, some info on the 'rebranding' stuff. here. they sort of rebrand i guess you can say on some makes. ;) http://ubuntuforums.org/showthread.php?t=1926489 [07:37] im looking for a desktop notifier in python, that can remember unread msges and store them in indicator section [07:38] ty dr_willis [07:38] ive seen generic inticator applets written in python in some answers on askubuntu.com sort of a 'skeleton indicator applet' [07:38] Dr_willis: tnx lemme take a look [07:39] lotuspsychje, search for 'indicator applet list' then sort by votes.. shoul dbe a huge list.. but it may be outdated [07:39] ok [07:40] dang still cannot message in ##hardware despite being ided [07:40] Ciao [07:40] !list [07:40] Galaxy: No warez here!

[07:44] server 10.04 i think is still supported [07:44] redfeather: 10.04 is currently supported on the server only [07:44] !10.04 [07:44] 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. [07:46] Ah I see. [07:47] Still, if I have a problem with 12.04. Could I ask it here?

To view it at any time after joining, simply type /topic [07:51] Alright, so I'm trying to install 12.04 on a HP dv6000. For some reason when I get to the installer the screen has scanlines and only shows the top right hand corner of a higher resolution (I checked display, it says it's running at 1280x1024.

[10:26] * histo sleep time [10:26] useradd seems better [10:26] this is for an ssh server [10:26] do people normally get shells [10:26] or home directories? [10:26] moses: yep [10:26] Dr_willis: is there any way to start ubuntu with console directly? [10:26] you have to supply all the right options for useradd [10:26] adduser gives decent defaults [10:26] !text | ubuntu_user99 [10:26] ubuntu_user99: To start your system in text-only mode append 'text' (without the quotes) to the kernel line in the grub menu. You can access the grub menu by pressing Esc (Grub legacy) or Shift (Grub2) during boot. For more info see https://help.ubuntu.com/community/BootOptions#Text%20Mode [10:26] which defaults?

[10:29] is that right? [10:29] i tried to install Lubuntu 13.04 on my old PIII asus P3v4x pc but installation didn't work... [10:29] i got "starting load fallback graphics devices fail" message [10:29] moses_, if you had used 'adduser' instead of useradd. it would of asked you for the new password [10:30] kendo: i think that is a PAE issue. new kernels dont support no-PAE cpus. take a look if your cpu does support PAE [10:31] Dr_willis: I havent done anything yet [10:31] where dhould i search for that and what should if my cpu does not support PAE? use an older kernel version? [10:32] what should i do [10:32] does adduser automatically get a homegroup? [10:32] !adduser | moses_ [10:32] moses_: To add new users to your Ubuntu system, follow the instructions at https://help.ubuntu.com/community/AddUsersHowto - For administrative privileges, users need to be made members of the group "admin" - See !sudo [10:33] homegroup? what does that mean === will is now known as Guest7429 [10:36] kendo: if your cpu doesnt support that we need to think about what to do. i think there is some howto for Lubuntu for using it with non-Pae kernels [10:37] adduser was amazing [10:37] how do you give your user administrative privelages? [10:37] add to group admin? [10:37] ok i'll check....i choosed lubuntu as i read it was "dedicated" to older pc so this issue is unespected somehow.... [10:38] hello, is there a voice recognition package for ubuntu that can be ran via terminal ? [10:39] Dr_willis: i dont have gup menu. because i have just ubuntu installed on VM. [10:39] moses_: please read the message the bot gave you twice [10:39] Dr_willis: so i an not open grup menu to select recovery mode or something.. [10:39] moses_: the information was all included. you just need to read it [10:40] ubuntu_user99, you definatly can enable the grub menu on a VM.. [10:40] k1l_: the group admin didnt exist until i made it [10:40] edit the grub configs to alwyas show the menu.. or hold SHIFT [10:40] to make grub appear [10:40] I dont know if that group has the administrative privelages [10:40] Dr_willis: yes but how? [10:40] !grub2 | ubuntu_user99 [10:40] ubuntu_user99: GRUB2 is the default Ubuntu boot manager. Lost GRUB after installing Windows? See https://help.ubuntu.com/community/RestoreGrub - For more information and troubleshooting for GRUB2 please refer to https://help.ubuntu.com/community/Grub2 [10:40] ubuntu_user99, edit the option in /etc/default/grub [10:41] or - HOLD shift as the vm boots.. [10:41] clickin it.. hold SHIFT [10:41] Dr_willis: i can not open the system. i can ot log on with gnome. first i need to use console. [10:41] moses_: ok, since 12.04 its the sudo group and not admin group [10:41] ubuntu_user99, yes.. You use the TEXT option at the GRUB menu.. and you hold SHIFT to get to the GRUB menu. [10:42] power up the vm.. as it boots HOLD THE SHIFT KEY [10:43] or use a live cd/iso in the vm.. and boot it.. get to the installed system.. make grub not hide itself. [10:43] or have it default to text mode [10:45] kil ifound this on wikipedia " PAE is supported by Intel Pentium Pro and later Pentium-series processors except most 400 MHz-bus versions of the Pentium M.[citation needed] It is also available on AMD processors such as the AMD Athlon and later AMD processor models." [10:45] Dr_willis: i press hsit button. it writes "grup loading.." but after 5-6 seconds ubuntu started normally. and it gives me like always "ubuntu runs low graphic mode.". why grup menu does not strated event it writes that it starts :( [10:45] Dr_willis: can you or someone connect me with teamviewer? [10:46] please [10:46] id guess the vm is not seeingf the key [10:46] k1l_: tyvm [10:46] boot a live-iso and disable the lighddm service.. that way it boots to the console [10:46] is another way [10:46] how come when i use the gui to go to users it doesnt show my new user with administrator privelages [10:47] rename /etc/init/lightdm.conf to be /etc/init/lightdm.DONTRUN will disable light dm untill you rename it [10:47] that would make the system go into the console mode also [10:50] Dr_willis: i start the grup (i dont know how). now i press the "e" key. it wants some paramters now. i will write "text" (without quotes) or "-text" or "--text" ? [10:51] change 'quiet splash' to read 'text' [10:51] or put text between the 2.. 'quiet text splash' [10:54] Dr_willis: ok i change the parameters? now which button i should use to boot with these parameters? [10:55] it tells you at the bottom of that screen i recall... === DocGrooveAway is now known as DocGroove [10:55] * Dr_willis does it so automaticlly he dosent rember [10:56] <[FreeBSD]> i think its f10 [10:56] and/or alt-b or alt-x or somthing [10:56] Dr_willis: it writes use ctrl x or f10 to boot, but i am worried if it will save the parameters for each time. [10:57] <[FreeBSD]> ubuntu_user99: it wont [10:57] <[FreeBSD]> youd have to ebter it in the grub cfg kernel cmd to be permenant [10:57] the grub docs mentioned.. state that DOSENT happen that way [10:57] its a one time deal [10:59] ok thanks anyway.... [11:03] [FreeBSD]: oh. when i presss ctrl-x it open a a new comment line with "GRUP>" [11:04] <[FreeBSD]> maybe the parameters you entered were wrong [11:04] <[FreeBSD]> or wrong syntax [11:04] Dr_willis: i dont understand how to boot with new parameters. [11:04] or the vm is confuiseing the keys [11:04] does dropbox exist for ubuntu? [11:04] [FreeBSD]: i just change quiet splahs with: "quiet text splash" [11:05] moses_: yes [11:05] <[FreeBSD]> use f10 over ctrl + whatever in a vm [11:05] <[FreeBSD]> as ctrl sometimes acts as a special key [11:05] just how we told you.. - i think you can hit f10 to boot also.. or some key combo to get back to the initial menu then hit enter after manking the changes [11:05] moses_: Sure. [11:05] i bet YOUTUBE has some videos of doing this [11:05] cool cool [11:06] * Dr_willis wonders if the vm would behave better if it was fullscreend [11:06] <[FreeBSD]> ubuntu_user99: what problem ar you having anyway, why you need to boot like this? [11:06] <[FreeBSD]> Dr_willis: if its virtualbox it wont make a difference [11:07] [FreeBSD]: f10 worked. now i am on command line. [11:07] <[FreeBSD]> ubuntu_user99: ok [11:07] anyone who canhelp me with an adhoc problem? [11:07] [FreeBSD]: thank you. :) [11:07] <[FreeBSD]> werent me, twas Dr_willis :) [11:08] Dr_willis which package exactly i should install from command like ? [11:08] Dr_willis sudo apt-get install guest-additional-vbox? [11:08] <[FreeBSD]> ubuntu_user99: try apt-cache search additions [11:08] first fix grub so it dosent auto hide., === qos|away is now known as qos [11:09] then check the vbox wiki page/ and the vbox manual. and do an 'apt-cache search vbox' to see what packages are there..

(need to do a selfmade dyndns) [11:10] Dr_willis: oh god :) i will mount and i will install from command line:) [11:10] anyone [11:10] software center does not already have thse packages? [11:10] what packages? [11:10] took me all of like 15 min i think to get lubuntu /ubuntu going in vbox here.. but that was 2 mo ago. [11:11] search and see if they do ubuntu_user99 . [11:11] i used the iso because its the latest ones.. and i think has extra features [11:13] i've run "sudo setfacl -d -R -m g:green-group:rwx /path/to/dir1", my user is into secondary group "green-group", but i'm unable to write into "dir1". Can you help me? [11:13] its very likely theres premade ubuntu vbox images that have all this allready done.. but those could have other things also.

[11:18] I don't know what the package will be called though. [11:18] creativeoS: i dont k now what you mean with standalone :( but i write to comnand line install virtualbox-guest-additions. now started to download them.

[12:08] is it possible to upgrade from 12.03 to 13.10? [12:08] bekks: you told me to install 4.2.12 packgaes of virtualbox-guest-additional. [12:08] ubuntu_user99: Thats entirely a lie. It doesnt do it, I am running several 12.04 installations in vbox without problem. [12:08] ubuntu_user99: I told you to install 4.2.12 guest additions when using vbox 4.2.12 [12:08] I just use the vbox guest .iso thing from its menus. [12:09] Thats what the vbox manual states. [12:09] it compiles it for whatever you got installed. [12:09] bekks: send me your vm hadd :D:D: [12:09] hi i need too much help recently i upgraded to ubuntu 13.04 and had two problems the most easiest (i think) its empathy dont coonect to facebook it open a manager and it open a browser and the browser ask for my data user and pass and says warning security use this url as your password and dont share whith nobody [12:09] vak, as there is IS no 12.03 ... no. [12:09] and empathy dont cnet or do nothing? [12:09] vak, also, 12.10 isn't even out yet ... [12:09] ubuntu_user99: Pay me, or just finally read the vbox manual. [12:09] vak, 13.10 [12:10] LOL i'm still somewhat sleeping [12:10] bekks: :D [12:10] is it possible to upgrade from 12.04.2 to 13.10? [12:10] cfhowlett: i've corrected my question ) [12:11] vak, of course [12:11] !upgrade [12:11] vak, not directly [12:11] For upgrading, see the instructions at https://help.ubuntu.com/community/UpgradeNotes - see also http://www.ubuntu.com/desktop/get-ubuntu/upgrade [12:11] 13.10 isn't released yet [12:11] cfhowlett: directly or step-by-step? [12:11] oh [12:11] you read my mind [12:11] lts to lts - directly.. other wise its one release at a time [12:11] vak: yes [12:12] sudo apt-get disk-upgrade [12:12] would be easier to wait until 14.04 [12:12] *dist-upgrade [12:12] vak, 12.04 is LTS. 13.10 will not be... [12:12] ubuntu_user99: I'm running 12.04 in vbox, too, no issues [12:12] cfhowlett: it is my own dev box, so I don't care much about LTS [12:12] 13.04 in vbox her.. but i did in stall lubuntu, then added ubuntu [12:13] SunTsu: did you installed vbox-guest additionas? [12:13] apt-get_install: so, you mean it is possible to upgrade directly?? [12:13] ubuntu_user99: of course [12:13] vak: yes [12:13] vak: nope. 12.04 -> 12.10 -> 13.04 -> 13.10 -> 14.04 or 12.04 -> 14.04 [12:13] of course [12:13] SunTsu: hmm. which which comnad did you do that? [12:14] hm... different opinions... [12:14] hi! [12:14] Ben64: u can upgrade from 12.04 to 13.04, i think [12:14] mine is fact, not opinion [12:14] apt-get_install: not directly [12:14] without 12.10 [12:14] ubuntu_user99: sudo apt-get purge virtualbox-guest-additions [12:14] LTS to LTS.. OR one release at a time... [12:14] ubuntu_user99: And then start reading the vbox manual. Is it really tjat hard? [12:14] vak, or go 12.04 to 14.04 :) [12:14] i need an advice to determine if *buntu is the right choice [12:15] bekks: i am not reading anything yet. i am gooling it. but i could not found how to isntrall for specific version of guest additionals. [12:15] DottorLeo, we're biased, but ask ... [12:15] argghhh guys, you blow my weaked mind on this cold Sunday ) [12:15] ubuntu_user99: I used the "virtual iso" to compile and install the guest additions [12:15] Question: 2 Ubuntu pc's on Wifi-LAN (Adsl router), [ubuntu 10.04] successfully pings [ubuntu 12.10], after a couple of minutes ping fails, [12.10] pings [10.04] successfully, after which [10.04] again pings [12.10] successfully, [12.10] successfully connect to internet for entire duration. Why does ubuntu 12.10 become unreachable on LAN after some time? [12:16] bekks: i have already type this command: "sudo apt-get virtualbox-guest-additions". purge is a must? [12:16] i need a distro that install only the system but NOT the programs for video, audio, office, etc... i want to do that by myself after [12:16] i need only a barebone system [12:16] and after that i will customize it [12:16] !mini | DottorLeo [12:16] DottorLeo: The Minimal CD image is very small in size, and it downloads most packages from the Internet during installation, allowing you to select only those you want.

[12:17] well another question [12:17] then he will be constantly asking how to install all the other stuff for the next 3 days.. ;P [12:17] XFCE or LXDE? Target will be an Acer Aspire one netbook [12:17] okay. assistance required. getting rejections from all my credentials at textbased login terminal. have reset passwords in recovery and using a livecd and chroot with no joy. suggestions before I do a clean install? [12:17] ubuntu_user99: Yes, purge is a must. [12:17] ubuntu_user99: And why dont you start reading? [12:17] DottorLeo, either will work.. My netvooks can handle unity [12:18] bekks: i am alwyas googleing first about something. if will not foudn something i will read the doc of it. [12:18] the vbox docs save a lot of googling... [12:19] ubuntu_user99: Then find a solution for you problem yourself if you refuse to follow the suggestions you get. [12:19] has anyone use rEFInd? [12:19] used* [12:19] ubuntu_user99: Good luck doing so. [12:19] DottorLeo, new model netbook? xfce and lxde look different but have similar system deamns [12:19] DottorLeo, *demands* dern finger dyslexia [12:20] is there anything besides passwd and shadow that could prevent login attempts? [12:20] TsukasaUjiie: Lack of disk space, wrong account. [12:21] TsukasaUjiie: capital letters [12:21] bekks: clean install with plenty of space, correct accounts, have reset passwords several times, correct case [12:21] Specs here http://www.cnet.com/laptops/acer-aspire-one-d250/4507-3121_7-33676723.html [12:21] any other possible offenders? [12:22] TsukasaUjiie: how are you resetting [12:22] have tried both using recovery mode and chrooting with a livecd [12:22] ok, how in recovery mode [12:23] boot into single user, mount system partition, chroot into it and set for both root and my account using passwd [12:23] why are you chrooting? and why set root pass? [12:23] uuuuh [12:24] why not? an because I cant log into either root or my account from login prompt. both return incorrect password [12:24] !root | TsukasaUjiie [12:24] TsukasaUjiie: Do not try to guess the root password, that is impossible. Instead, realise the truth... there is no root password. Then you will see that it is 'sudo' that grants you access and not the root password. Look at https://help.ubuntu.com/community/RootSudo [12:24] TsukasaUjiie: Use sudo instead of root. [12:24] no [12:24] I mean [12:24] at a login prompt [12:24] after first booting up the machine [12:25] you don't need to chroot in recovery mode [12:25] you're doing something wrong [12:26] ok, regardless, I am 99% certain that the passwords in shadow are correct [12:26] what else could be throwing this issue [12:26] the problem is you're doing it wrong [12:27] ok [12:27] let me do it again [12:27] without chroot in recovery, and If I still have the issue Ill come back? [12:28] sure [12:28] cool, two min :) [12:29] Hi all.

Should I ruin resolvconf somehow? [17:22] I get problems with VGA [17:22] TheUsD: The "admin password" is just the password of the user being asked.

[17:25] Ip Adress: 77.90.83.240 [17:27] bekks: I'm kind of confused then. What password is it asking for? [17:27] TheUsD: Your user password. [17:27] TheUsD: your users password (as he told you several times) [17:28] its most with poppler based pdf [17:28] thegladiator: Whats "popple based pdf"? [17:28] poppler library based pdf apps [17:28] anyone? is there a magic recipe to get flash working again in ubuntu? [17:29] XPDF , epdfview , apvlv etc [17:29] its not when I am installing the software, its after its installed it asks for an admin password [17:30] wildwind: Can't see anything. [17:31] wildwind: Note that the working machine is 12.04 (vs 13.04), so it may be slightly different anyway. [17:32] TheUsD: There is no admin password. All there is, is your user password. You have to enter it when doing "administrative tasks". [17:32] hdmi audio output fix? does anyone know how to fix? i am running 12.04.2 and intel integrated gfx [17:33] does ubuntu have official adobe reader? [17:33] thegladiator: in the partner repo i think [17:34] ok and the name is ? [17:34] bekks, I understand what you are saying, I just cant figure out why its not working. I made sure I used one password (for everything) on this server until I was comfortable with it. [17:34] i see acroread and acroread-bin [17:34] TheUsD: And there is no other "hidden" admin password. There simply isnt. :) [17:35] so shouldn't it not be the same pass as I log in or when I do a sudo command? [17:35] am i on ignore? or is there just no fix to the hdmi audio problem? [17:35] wildwind: Solved it! Ran sudo dpkg-reconfigure resolvconf, said yes to everything, and rebooted. All fine! [17:35] Hi, does s1 know where I can find a description of systemds wantedBy targets ? [17:36] i3luefire_: people can see you but they won't answer if they don't know [17:36] minixvm, ty. i guess i didnt think of that [17:36] does it matter what program it is I'm running?

[17:38] wildwind: Thanks for the suggestions - I'd never have got there otherwise! [17:38] My understanding is that the "Backup" application in Ubuntu uses duplicity.

Should I do RSA or DSA, and how many bits? (default is 1024) (PuTTYgen) [17:41] is the root user the same as a user with admin rights? [17:41] TheUsD, No, root has a more special usage than simply a sudoer [17:41] FrozenFire: i would suggest to restore the backup everything else is not a 100% proof [17:41] TheUsD: yes [17:41] how would I find the root user password? [17:42] !root | TheUsD [17:42] TheUsD: Do not try to guess the root password, that is impossible. Instead, realise the truth... there is no root password. Then you will see that it is 'sudo' that grants you access and not the root password. Look at https://help.ubuntu.com/community/RootSudo [17:42] TheUsD: when you execute something with sudo it will have the same privileges as root itself [17:42] iceroot, Well, I've created secondary backups of very important files. I'm just hoping to get a good verification that the backup is viable. [17:42] Pase: default on the linux tool that makes ssh key (forget the name) is 2048 bit long [17:42] binBlob: thanks [17:42] Phase: rsa [17:42] lol thanks ubottu... [17:43] iceroot: would you be able to answer why rsa vs dsa? [17:43] Phase: rsa is still safe [17:43] PhantomGamers, http://security.stackexchange.com/questions/5096/rsa-vs-dsa-for-ssh-authentication-keys [17:43] Err, Phase ^ [17:43] Mis-tab [17:43] thanks [17:43] lol [17:43] i was like lolwhat [17:43] squaregoldfish: you're welcome. i didn't upgrade to 13.04 yet [17:43] lol [17:43] Ubottu, so would it be more ideal to to terminal the program I want to run rather than going through the GUI? [17:43] TheUsD: I am only a bot, please don't think I'm intelligent :) [17:44] what did replace systemctl ?? Kubuntu does not have one [17:44] Perhaps a better formulation would be, does anyone know where the Backup utility stores its configuration for duplicity? [17:44] Since it's evidently just a wrapper around it [17:46] hello [17:46] Hrmmm, seems it's wrappers around wrappers [17:46] Backup utility is deja-dup? [17:46] Around duplicity? [17:46] FrozenFire: AFAIR the wrapper is called deja-dup. it may help in finding configs [17:47] FrozenFire: yes [17:47] Aha, http://askubuntu.com/questions/145698/where-does-deja-dup-keep-its-config-files [17:49] FrozenFire: as to the original question "Is there any way to verify the backup I've made is viable for restore, without actually restoring it?". to be honest, there's no other way to be 100% sure [17:50] Yeah, I'm familiar with backup procedures. I'm actually a sysadmin. Just surprised that I can't verify my personal desktop backups. :P === jagger|away is now known as jagger [17:50] Apparently newer versions of deja-dup do integrity checks === elixir__ is now known as elixir [17:50] Which, funny enough, is why I'm backing up. So I can update to a newer version of Ubuntu [17:50] I want to run a application as a daemon therefor I read this https://wiki.archlinux.org/index.php/PyLoad#Daemon but I don't seem to have rc.d and systemctl. What should I do ? [17:51] FrozenFire: when you want to verify something, use the tool which was creating the backup and not the backend [17:51] Welp, guess I'll just rely on my secondary backups in case something seriously breaks [17:51] FrozenFire: or use the backend directly, but dont mix them to verfiry something [17:51] iceroot, Yeah, but that assumes that the tool has a means of doing so. :P [17:51] binBlob: thats because archlinux uses systemd [17:51] I'm still on deja-dup 22.0 [17:52] Whereas the integrity check functionality was introduced in 23.0 [17:52] minixvm: yes, what does ubuntu / kubuntu has for this purpose ? [17:52] binBlob: upstart [17:52] !upstart | binBlob [17:52] binBlob: Upstart is meant to replace the old Sys V Init system with an event-driven init model. For more information please see: http://upstart.ubuntu.com/ [17:52] !upstart | binBlob [17:53] minixvm: kk thanks [17:56] which kernel has ubuntu 12.04.2 ? [17:56] I don't understand very much about how that stuff works in detail, so sorry if that is a very stupid question. Is it possible to use a server with a dynamic IP as the name server of a domain if I set up a cronjob to constantly update it's IP? [17:56] To my understanding it would work, but when the IP changes it would be impossible to resolve it's IP for a while, until the new address of the DNS server is starting to be used. Does that happen instantly or does it need a while to propagate like other dns stuff? Do I think in a completely wrong direction or does this make some sense? [17:57] !info linux-image precise | cebor [17:57] cebor: linux-image (source: linux-meta): Generic Linux kernel image.. In component main, is optional. Version 3.2.0.44.53 (precise), package size 1 kB, installed size 32 kB [17:58] (if this is possible I would use bind on a standard Ubuntu to do it, so I guess it fits this channel, or doesn't it?) [17:58] T4b: please clarify how dns server is set up on clients [18:00] minixvm: sure, that 12.04.2 has not 3.5 ? i thought LTS releases get ne HE Stacks, doesnt it ? [18:00] minixvm: cebor: 12.04.2 has 3.5, 12.04.1 hasnt. [18:00] hm, should I use a 2 private/public key pairs (1 set for my own servers, the other for other servers that I don't technically have full authority on)? Whats the best practice for multiple keys? [18:01] ok and 12.04.3 will get raring kernel ? [18:01] Phase: Thats best practice :) [18:01] bekks: :) ty [18:01] cebor: Not necessarily. [18:01] cebor: yes, but the default that ships with 12.04 is the 3.2 kernel [18:02] bekks: I'm finding out that I'm having permission errors all over the place. [18:02] Should an admin be able to change the interfaces file? [18:02] minixvm: yes, but i think when i will do fresh install with the 12.04.2 image i will get 3.5 by default [18:02] any user admin that is. [18:03] cebor: only one way to find out (i thought they were just made available in the repos, not shipped by default) [18:05] hello all! I'd like some help on this error I get when trying to run a game: error while loading shared libraries: libfreeimage.so.3: cannot open shared object file: No such file or directory [18:05] what is libfreeimage.so.3 ? [18:05] wildwind: It isn't set up on any clients. Maybe I used wrong terms for some stuff. I own the domain t4b.me. On the domain name company's website (or via their api) I can enter the name of a dns server (and some backup secondary ones). The zone file which I edit to configure my domains is on this server. I would like to replace this server with one which I host on a home machine which has a dynamic IP. [18:06] Can someone help me, trying to edit my etc/network/interfaces file but its telling me I do not have the permission [18:06] I am logged in as an admin. === nicholas is now known as Guest85401 [18:06] Eh, I have a similar problem, lol. [18:06] TheUsD: sudo nano -w /etc/network/interfaces [18:06] I have tried in terminal and just going to the file itself. [18:06] TheUsD: what does "logged in as admin" mean? [18:06] TheUsD: Did you prepend sudo? [18:07] When I try to put a plugin into my Eclipse folder, it tells me that I don't have permission, and I do have admin rights. [18:07] Phase: I will try that. Not sure what you mean prepend sudo (I am a two day old user) [18:07] two day old ubuntu user** [18:07] TheUsD: sudo is the command you use to give yourself elevated rights (aka admin rights) to make changes to that file === DocGroove is now known as DocGrooveAway [18:08] TheUsD: sudo -w /etc/network/interfaces [18:08] TheUsD: are you logged in as user (as you should be) or logged in as root (very very bad idea) [18:08] TheUsD: you need to write sudo in front of a command to give it root privileges [18:08] join #xquartz [18:08] ... [18:08] sorry about that [18:08] shaggeh: Please don't flood; use http://paste.ubuntu.com to paste; don't use Enter as punctuation. [18:08] but dont do it infront of every command. that is not the idea behind it [18:08] ohh, sorry I misunderstood what you meant by prepend, yes I did try sudo [18:08] O.o [18:08] T4b: is it supposed to be public website? if yes, hosting dns on dynamic ip is a very bad idea [18:09] TheUsD: since we dont know or see what you do. show us the exact command or the error message [18:09] this was my command I entered: sudo etc/network/interfaces (command not found) [18:09] TheUsD: use my command [18:09] TheUsD: sudo -w /etc/network/interfaces [18:09] TheUsD: there is no command. [18:09] TheUsD: Note the differences there [18:09] so then I tried, /etc/network/interfaces: permission denied [18:09] fail.. [18:09] nano * [18:09] TheUsD: sudo nano -w /etc/network/interfaces [18:09] there [18:09] TheUsD: you only said "superrights this-place" [18:09] Phase: Please don't flood; use http://paste.ubuntu.com to paste; don't use Enter as punctuation. [18:10] wildwind: Well, more or less public. Mainly for me, but possibly for a few other people too and public in the sense that it should be accessible from everywhere. [18:10] When I try to put a plugin into my Eclipse folder, it tells me that I don't have permission, and I do have admin rights. [18:10] wildwind: Bad idea from a security standpoint of view or from a functional one? [18:11] so you're saying use sudo nano /etc/networking/interfaces ? [18:11] TheUsD: yes [18:11] Guest85401: that means that you dont have the rights to write into the eclipse folder [18:11] Thank you Phase, I will try that [18:11] wildwind: Because it just occured to me that the next person getting my IP would probably be able to change my dns records for a while, is that why it's a bad idea? [18:12] hi im trying to change the permisson of a folder and everytime i do it as root it changes back to what it had before what do i do [18:12] Well, of course. =P How would I change it to where I do have access? [18:12] Guest85401: eclipse plugins should be installed into your workspace folder [18:12] TheUsD: 'sudo' gives you elevated rights, 'nano' is the text editor, the last bit is the path to the file you want to edit [18:12] samgabbay: Which folder? [18:12] its called spiral on the home folder its a game [18:12] correct, I understood the sudo and the file path, didnt know about nano. Thanks again. [18:12] binBlob, my problem is, when I try to drag and drop the plugin into the plugins folder, it just tells me that I do not have permission. [18:12] I've been spoiled by GUI's and forgot about commands. [18:12] does no one here know how to fix the: "libfreeimage.so.3: cannot open shared object file: No such file or directory" problem? [18:12] T4b: from functional one, not sure about sec, maybe too. [18:13] last time i used commands is when I was 8 and using windows 3.11, lol [18:13] @bekks like i do it with gnautls or whatever and it keeps changing back is it possible to change it thru terminal? [18:13] Guest85401: if you want every user to have this plugin you can move the volder via the mv command or if you dont like the terminal use sudo +yourfilemanager ... but watch out you can break EVERYTHING in sudo [18:14] samgabbay: You want to do what? Please describe your problem, not your solution approaches only :) [18:14] !gksudo | binBlob [18:14] binBlob: If you need to run graphical applications as root, use « gksudo », as it will set up the environment more appropriately. Never just use "sudo"! (See http://psychocats.net/ubuntu/graphicalsudo to know why) [18:14] TheUsD: perhaps sudo gedit (or whichever GUI editor you have) -- I haven't used a linux desktop in quite awhile, so I don't even know if gedit is the default anymore. [18:14] T4b: maybe you better rely on dyndns or similar service. it's optimized for fast change propagation and reg company's infrastructure probably not [18:14] Phase: gksudo for graphical applications. [18:14] bekks: ah [18:15] minixvm: hmm k never had a problem with that, tanks again :) [18:15] @beeks change the permissons to read and write for all users cause its locked to root all the time [18:15] binBlob, I am a complete noob when it comes to ubunutu, lol. If it isn't too much of a hassle, what code would it be to move the folder? [18:16] Guest85401: sudo mv source dest [18:17] wildwind: So it's a problem of propagation speeds? I would be okay with that, I've had the same IP for at least a year, probably rather two, the reason I still want dyndns is just that it's not /guaranteed/ to stay the same. [18:19] (really strange, btw. My ISP charges a whole lot of money if you want to have a static IP for sure, so I would expect them to have an interest in changing the IPs of their other customers now and again) [18:20] T4b: dyndns stopped being free :( the cheap gits [18:20] is this how a static IP layout should look? [18:20] ohh crap, didnt mean to hit enter... [18:20] TheUsD: i hope you're gonna use pastebin [18:20] :D [18:21] daftykins: I know, that's another reason I would like to do it myself. [18:21] I'm on a separate machine, so I have to type it all in -_- [18:22] TheUsD: You should still use pastebin, even if you have to type it. [18:22] T4b: to me in your case it's no big difference [18:22] TheUsD: use a picture? SSH to that PC + copy+ paste? [18:23] T4b: if money is a concern, cheap VPS for DNS (or even website) may be better [18:23] @bekks soo what do i do? [18:24] wildwind: Money is so much of a concern that I don't think there is a reliable VPS solution cheap enough for me. ;-) [18:24] # the primary network interface auto eth0 iface eth0 inet static adress xx.xx.xxx.xxx netmask xxx.xxx.xxx.xxx. gatewat xx.xx.xxx.xxx [18:25] wildwind: Or do you know something for, say, $1/month? [18:25] T4b: how much your isp charges for static IP? [18:26] wildwind: Absurdly much, I would need to look it up again, but I remember thinking that a VPS was cheaper than that. [18:26] T4b: i actually use one ($12/year) for VPN [18:26] bright house networks: 60Mbps down, 6Mbps up, 5 statics, $115 a month :-/ [18:26] guys, i'm thinking of reinstalling windows. how hard is it to reconfigure boot? [18:27] T4b: not very reliable though, i agree [18:27] Hello. What is a GUI way to enable pressure sensitivity for Gnome Shell 3.8 desktop in Raring? [18:27] myuce153: its a matter of reinstalling grub [18:27] !grub | myuce153 [18:27] myuce153: GRUB2 is the default Ubuntu boot manager. Lost GRUB after installing Windows? See https://help.ubuntu.com/community/RestoreGrub - For more information and troubleshooting for GRUB2 please refer to https://help.ubuntu.com/community/Grub2 [18:28] myuce153: if you install win after linux win will kill grup and install its own loader, you will have to set up grub again [18:28] is it easy to reinstall it?

What permissions are you changing and how exactly? What are the permissions before? What are they after (i.e. do they actually change)? When do you notice them change back?

I edited the interfaces to the following settings that I provided the link for. But to back track, I did try to edit the nm to do a staticIP but no matter what I edit, it seems to still work via DHCP, IE I can connect it to my modem which pushes out 5 statics and it will not connect, but if I connect it to a router that has internet access, the ubuntu machine picks up a DHCP ip [18:46] is there any more bleeding edge repositories for xubuntu ?

[18:52] everything was working fine until I deployed the setup at the client, now when the thin clients boot the LG monitors are unable to get a proper resolution it seems [18:52] wildwind: nevermind, it decided to change its mind...without doing a damn thing it just started working... [18:52] bridged. [18:52] TheUsD: :) [18:52] they were tested previously and only since being moved to the location of use have they started to give this problem [18:53] Actually I also have a question - are there security issues with using older (like... 3.2) kernels? I ask because for example grsecurity uses such, and thus I am wondering if it's not creating holes by itself...? [18:53] TheUsD: make sure your static ip doesn't conflict with isp's network [18:54] Laiquendi: where are you getting the kernel from? If you're not using the official repositories, then it's your responsibility to maintain it and ensure security updates are applied [18:54] If I edit lts.conf and put anything other than SCREEN_07=kiosk in there it throughs an error on the client side, the Xorg.7.log shows it being unable to find a resolution for the monitor (used to work fine before), but trying to set resolution or horz/vert through a Fatal Server Error, invalid argument for -config [18:54] jrib: from the repositories, but I mean I am stuck to older kernel while using grsecurity, since it works on such only. 3.2 now. [18:55] I am having some ruby gem issues http://pastebin.com/whxN1nsh [18:55] Laiquendi: read the changelogs for the new kernels that are provided then and make sure the updates don't affect your security [18:56] jrib: hmm... I'm rather trying to discern if using older kernel is not a vulnerability by itself, which would make using grsecurity... useless...? Against-logic... [18:56] jrib: yet it is suggested most often [18:57] Laiquendi: well it would depend on the security issues I imagine [18:58] jrib: From what I see kernel updates usually change compatibilities and performance, usability etc. not the security by itself, am I right? [18:58] Laiquendi: not as far as I understand [18:59] Laiquendi: where would you expect security updates then? [18:59] jrib: In modules, emm applications etc? [18:59] jrib they give package in update named security update [19:00] idk what is that [19:00] hello [19:01] Laiquendi: one sec, there may be some kernel-specific discussion here: [19:01] !sru | Laiquendi [19:01] Laiquendi: Stable Release Update information is at http://wiki.ubuntu.com/StableReleaseUpdates [19:01] ixtreme-ubuntu* [19:01] Laiquendi: https://wiki.ubuntu.com/KernelTeam/KernelUpdates [19:02] what can be used for recording my voice as well as internal sound ? its `2.04 here [19:02] 12.04 ubuntu [19:03] !audacity | raulsh [19:03] jrib: so there are security updates as one of the most important.. hmmm [19:03] !info audacity | raulsh [19:04] raulsh: audacity (source: audacity): fast, cross-platform audio editor.

I ask these questions because I have been a ubuntu user for 2 days now, lol. [19:21] So, I'm going to ask a question I've asked in the past but word it a bit differently. maybe more intelligently, [19:22] after I installed a program called gsmartcontol I tried to access the program (via gui) and it asks me for a administrative password [19:23] I only have one user account on this ubunutu server and I've tried using that password for the program to start but it says its invalid. [19:23] any reason why it would be telling me this? [19:25] TheUsD: do you have root password different than user password? [19:25] Or maybe it need root account to be enabled? Just guessing this one though. [19:25] TheUsD: It may be the program tries to use su for authentication which isn't something Ubuntu permits. Use "gksudo gsmartcontrol" to run it, I suppose. [19:26] when I installed the ubuntu server, I jused used the same password over and over again. told myself i would change them once I was comfortable with ubuntu server. that being said, it SHOULD be the same password as the administrative user I am logged in as, right? [19:26] how would I enable the root account? [19:27] or know if it is enabled for that matter. [19:27] TheUsD: Do not. It's not something you should ever do. Instead, use "sudo application" to run "application" with root priveleges, and "gksudo application" to run graphical apps with root priveleges. [19:27] TheUsD: gsmartcontol is a gui for smartctl. does smartctl work itself? [19:28] I do not know, can you give me the instructions to launch it? [19:28] TheUsD: just type it in terminal [19:29] Sorry, I am really new to ubuntu, I've been a windows user my entire life...with that exception of red hat 9 for a week when i was 16 [19:29] TheUsD: Ctrl+Alt+T opens a terminal [19:30] help! i think i've messed up my libreoffice a few weeks from my thesis deadline and can't get around all the dependencies! anyone can help? [19:30] Anyone know why F.lux indicator applet won't appear? I used this guide http://mergy.org/2013/03/getting-f-lux-going-on-ubuntu-13-04-raring-ringtail/ [19:30] correct, typed in smartclt and it poped up with: Error: smartctl requires a device name as the final command-line argument. seems that its working I just need to add in some extentions to tell it what to do, right? [19:31] tado: does it start? === Inoperable is now known as Inoperabled [19:33] TheUsD: You need to pass an option to smartctl for telling it wht to do, and you need to psas a device to it, for telling it which device you want. [19:33] wildwind: nope. it crashed on version 4.0.3, so i tried to downgrade from synaptic, but it just uninstalled the libreoffice package. then i removed ppa's from software sources and deleted the other packages, to reinstall from scratch from the normal repos, but it won't reinstall... [19:33] TheUsD: sudo smartctl -a /dev/sda [19:33] wildwind:this is what i have removed http://paste.ubuntu.com/5704595/ [19:33] hi [19:34] I'm having network disconnection issues, how can I check if the problem is in ubuntu, in my wireless acess point, in the router or in the internet provider ? [19:35] it showed me the SMART error log: no erros [19:35] every couple of minutes I can't ping anything anymore, If I disconnect the wireless and reconnect I have internet access again... [19:35] miguel: You ISP has nothing to do with the wireless connection to your router. [19:35] wildwind: i have an unmet dependency: http://paste.ubuntu.com/5704600/ but when i try and fix that another one pops up. but i haven't removed those packages [19:36] TheUsD: only that? id shoud spit a bunch of info [19:36] miguel. seems like wireless access point problem [19:36] miguel: You could save the "dmesg" output before disconnecting your wifi. [19:37] how bekks? [19:37] tado: You could just apt-get install libreoffice to have all of them. If that doesn't work, try removing existing packages and reinstalling. If that doesn't work, you probably have a third-party repo enabled which is usually a bad thing for things that are already in Ubuntu. [19:37] jdeniuz: By typing "dmesg" in a terminal and saving the output to a file. [19:37] wildwind: it give a few lines of info, but nothing that seemed relevant.

[19:41] theadmin: i had ppa's from libreoffice, have removed them and ran sudo apt-get remove libreoffice* and now can't seem to reinstall... there are no repos with libreoffice now [19:42] Casey: ok when you run gsmartcontrol it should ask you the same password. does it? [19:43] Wildwind: when I run it via terminal or gui? [19:43] Casey: either way [19:43] HI, me again. For what purpose are the tty terminals ? And why are there 7 of them ? [19:44] binBlob: Dunno why 7, a tradition I guess. They are there primarily for CLI-only systems. [19:44] Wildwind: I have not ran it terminal but when I do it GUI it does ask for password and it says the password is incorrect. again, using same password I used for smartctl [19:44] binBlob: They provide you the ability of logging into a console session. [19:44] binBlob: And there a multiple of them, because in history, computers had multiple consoles. [19:44] Casey: ok try from terminal now [19:44] binBlob: because 7 is a lucky number ;D [19:45] :( what would be the terminal command for gsmartcontrol? [19:45] Casey: smartctl [19:45] so if I am on a distro without x I am automaticly on tty1 ? [19:46] binBlob: Depends on your init configuration and such [19:46] binBlob: Generally yes, though. [19:46] binBlob: Not necessarily. [19:46] Casey: gsmartcontrol :) [19:46] wildwind: haha thanks [19:47] wildwind: it popped up, however terminal came up with errors too. [19:47] wildwind: this is the output of the original command and my first reinstall attempt http://paste.ubuntu.com/5704635/ note that synaptic had for some reason simply deleted the package libreoffice when i attempted to downgrade from 4.0.3 to 3.6 [19:47] well someday s1 will do a distro with unbelievable 8 ttys ! Thanks for the info. [19:48] binBlob: Which is done using one single command :> [19:48] binBlob: No real need, there's screen, tmux and byobu. [19:48] bekks: no I meant by default :) [19:48] Casey: what errors [19:48] http://paste.ubuntu.com/5704640/ [19:49] Casey: A graphical application will not run in a terminal. And you should be using gksudo for graphical applications. And I told you to use smartctl. [19:50] tried troubleshooting on my own again but really not getting anywhere, I have a simple lts.conf file that works until I add X_MODE_0=1024x768 [19:50] theadmin: any ideas on why it wouldn't reinstall? [19:51] tado: No not really [19:51] the when the thin client boots I get invalid argument in -config [19:51] bekks: Sorry, I was not looking to your posts so I didnt know you were talking to me. [19:51] Casey: I put your name in front of my post... [19:52] Casey: run it without sudo. it should pop a window asking a password as with gui [19:52] theadmin: damn... it's as if it needed a series of dependencies that haven't been removed... [19:52] bekks, again, I was not looking at your posts, sorry bud. [19:52] had to deinstall that language transltion programm [19:52] cause i messed its config up [19:52] so now i even forgot its name [19:52] tado: Ehhhm. Did you run "sudo apt-get update" after removing third-party repos? Cause you should. [19:52] bekks: but thank you for helping me with my issue as well. :) [19:52] whats the software for language translation in ubuntu? [19:52] Casey: Putting someones name in front of a post hilights it. Thats how IRC works. [19:53] theadmin: ... that i did not. let me see [19:53] bekks: well depends on the irc client [19:53] well sob, so it does, lol. I'm not an IRC daily user. [19:53] binBlob: Basically hilighting someone is how IRC communications work :) [19:54] bekks: not in a web client ... [19:54] binBlob: In every client. Put a name in front, to tell the other one that you talking to him. [19:54] theamidn: same problem [19:54] wildwind: Thank you, it is not working properly [19:54] theadmin: same problem [19:55] tado: Meow >.< [19:55] bekks: yes i know but in some clients ther is no highlighting [19:55] wildwind: will I have to do this each time I restart the server? [19:55] Casey: and show us last smartctl output [19:55] Casey: what [19:56] wildwind: I do not understand what you want me to show you. [19:57] Casey: sudo smartctl -a /dev/sda === DocGrooveAway is now known as DocGroove [19:58] Casey: you said there was only few lines [19:59] wildwind: I was incorrect about that statement: http://paste.ubuntu.com/5704674/ [20:00] tado: aptitude show libreoffice-core [20:01] wildwind: http://paste.ubuntu.com/5704678/ [20:01] Casey: ok, so smartctl works but gsmartcontrol does not [20:03] wildwind: i might have made it. i had to run an autoremove that cleared some of the libraries giving trouble, and now it's installing again from sudo apt-get install libreoffice [20:04] tado: ok [20:04] wildwind: No, ever since you had me go through the terminal to run gsmartcontrol, gsmartcontrol is working. [20:04] hey guys do any of you know how i would move from osx to ubuntu server [20:05] !mac | bitbyte [20:05] bitbyte: For help on installing and using Ubuntu on a mac, see: https://wiki.ubuntu.com/MactelSupportTeam/CommunityHelpPages [20:05] wildwind: what I was saying a few posts back was that gsmartcontrol is working now. thank you. Will I have to go through terminal again to get the GUI working in the future if I restart? [20:05] wildwind: if infact it does not work again via GUI after a restart. [20:06] wildwind: it installed, but it launches synaptic if i launch from icon on the unity bar. launches fine if i open via synapse [20:06] are apparmor or tomoyo used by default on Ubuntu 12.04, please? [20:07] wildwind: removed synaptic and problem solved. thanks a lot for helping [20:07] tado: apt-mark showhold [20:07] tado: ok [20:08] Casey: we can continue troubleshooting if you want [20:09] wildwind: how so? Do you believe there is more to the issue than we have covered? [20:09] gui should run with password provided [20:10] wildwind: gui is now working with password provided [20:10] ok then [20:11] hi, how do I open up software-sources in terminal again? [20:11] thats what I was asking before, if it does not work in the future, lets say after I do a restart, should I just try to access it through terminal first and then gui afterwards (thats what seemed to fix the issue) [20:12] nvm it's software-properties-gtk [20:13] Casey: by the way, you have some reallocated sectors on your hdd, and self-test errors [20:14] wildwind: yes, this is an old HDD. I do not expect to keep my system on it. this is all a test to see if the ubuntu server works for my needs. [20:15] So I have found an option in the Wacom UI settings, but I cannot find how to execute this option on the shell. Any idea how I could look that up? [20:16] wildwind: last major issue I am having. there is a driver for my machine, the ATI GFX driver. It seems that everytime I install this dirver the server can no longer boot. Infact when I see the startup info being displayed, it shows a fail for the GFX driver and I can never recover. [20:16] Casey: actually you didn't fix password issue, just worked around it. test after restart [20:16] is the driver nesseccary for ubuntu? [20:16] I had to reformat the server 3 times because of this driver. [20:17] patr|ck: apparmor is used [20:17] thanks [20:17] Casey: not sure what driver you're talking about [20:17] Casey: ...you don't have to use it if stuff works without it [20:18] Casey: anyway, radeon driver would be enough on server [20:18] Casey: On a server, you donrt need graphics drivers at all. [20:19] bekks: he/she wants server with gui management [20:19] ATIATI/AMD proprietary FGLRX graphics driver [20:20] seems that evertime I install that driver, the system will no longer boot. [20:20] wildwind: Then he's better off with plain desktop. [20:20] hey guys, was curious if anybody could take a second to help a conflicted nub out [20:20] Casey: use radeon (guess it's used already) [20:20] bekks, well depending if its a game server or not [20:20] newdude: That's not a question. Ask a real question. [20:20] WeThePeople: Even a game server has no graphics card. [20:21] bekks, some do [20:21] hai there, what you guys think about installing new kernel in ubuntu ? [20:21] WeThePeople: It servers a game, not some shiny graphics hardware output. [20:21] WeThePeople: Not a single one requires a graphics adapter, [20:21] worth ? [20:21] bekks: it can ge gpgpu server :) [20:22] :p [20:22] WildWildwind: yes I have a GPGPU server. [20:22] (kidding) === Dioxin_ is now known as Dioxin [20:22] and thanks, but I am a guy. [20:22] bekks, ive seen em with a graphics card [20:23] what you guys think about installing new kernel in ubuntu ? [20:23] real question - how can I completely overwrite the contents of "/" with the contents of a tar when I only have access to the server via ssh (I saw the nc solution on the site, but would that actually work without corrupting the ssh session) ? [20:23] its just the onboard gfx card driver it wants, there is no seperate card installed [20:23] WeThePeople: Yeah, but they arent required. Thats the difference. [20:23] milan: The only thing an unofficial kernel will give you is a huge headache. Use stuff in the repositories unless it's absolutely necessary to do otherwise [20:25] newdude: NC? Err... I don't think Norton Commander was ever ported to UNIX, do you mean MC? [20:25] theadmin: guess he means netcat [20:25] Aaah [20:25] wildwind: Thanks [20:25] hi all but ubuntu has just 5 runlevel? [20:26] theadmin: nc, as in netcat, the solution provided help.ubuntu.com/community/BackupYourSystem/TAR#SSH [20:26] giuseppe_: Ubuntu provides runlevels 0, 1, 2 and 6. [20:26] wildwind: yessir [20:26] giuseppe_: Read up on Upstart to see why. [20:26] 0 and 1 for shutdown 6 for reboot [20:27] and 2 and 5 for network-gui and user mode [20:27] right? [20:27] any one know where authorised_keys for ssh is on default ubuntu server having problems finding it [20:28] giuseppe_: 5 isn't there (or rather, runlevels 2, 3, 4 and 5 are all the same thing) [20:28] When nmap returns saying a port 6667 is open but filtered, does that stop IRC connections? [20:28] bitbyte: ~/.ssh/ [20:29] * bitbyte keeps saying no directory [20:29] bitbyte: Then it doesnt exist. [20:29] bitbyte: probably need to great a key then, check out ssh-keygen [20:29] theadmin, but rc.local is called after runlevel start? [20:29] newdude: note that this guide is't talking about restoring a *system* over network with nc or ssh [20:29] great = create [20:29] I'm trying to change ssh from password to rya and odnt wanna lock myself out haha [20:30] giuseppe_: No idea when rc.local is actually executed, I just know it is sometime :P [20:30] bitbyte: Whats "rya"? [20:30] Permissions on .ssh files need to be exact. 700 then 600 [20:30] wildwind: Unfortunately I noticed that, I'm definitely open to suggestions on other methods haha :D === Guest53111 is now known as tar-nation [20:31] bitbyte: just trying to change the password for the current user you're logged into on the remote machine? [20:31] lol theadmin but in rc.local shouldn't be the deamon that i want start at startup? [20:31] hey, is there a way to restore default permissions on the entire filesystem? I messed up 10 different servers. thanks [20:32] newdude: getting physical or KVM access is the most obvious way [20:32] shad0w1e: Restore from the backup or somesuch. "Default" permissions aren't stored anywhere [20:33] bitebyte: if so, all you should have to do is passwd, unless you're trying to do passwordless ssh sessions, then you'd want to make a new key with a unique .pub file on the requesting machine. then on the remote machine, you just create the .ssh directory, or use ssh-keygen to automate it with plus the perks of the rest, and create an authorized_keys file in the .ssh directory [20:33] and then copy the .pub file into authorized_keys [20:34] newdude: I'm doing it for the whole sshd [20:34] newdude: its just when it mentions where the keys are its a bit confusing because the folder dosnt exist do you think i need to run the keygen first [20:34] wildwind: It's a vps :( i think I'm just going to bug them to do it on their side. [20:35] Bah. How do I properly restart Unity without logging out and back in? Doing "unity" or "unity --replace" breaks the global menu [20:35] I know C++, I have Ubuntu 12.04 and I wanna make a music player like Rhythmbox. Where do I start? [20:35] Anyone? [20:36] dRagonsRage: You could grab the source of Rhtyhmbox and look at it [20:36] How do I do that? [20:36] dRagonsRage: apt-get source rhtyhmbox [20:36] sorry, I'm a total n00b [20:36] oh cool ok. Thanks :) [20:36] ola [20:37] !list [20:37] filealex: No warez here! This is not a file sharing channel (or network); read the channel topic. If you're looking for information about me, type « /msg ubottu !bot ». If you're looking for a channel, see « /msg ubottu !alis ». [20:37] theadmin: it's tricky. there's compiz plugin and some other components running [20:37] sorry [20:37] So can you get the source code for Ubuntu unity like that too? [20:37] dRagonsRage: Any open-source app that is in the repos. Yes, Ayatana is open-source. [20:38] Ah ok...Ayatana? [20:38] how can I restart d-bus deamon? [20:38] dRagonsRage: Ayatana is the Ubuntu UX project, it includes Unity and some other stuff [20:38] angs: sudo restart dbus [20:38] Ah ok cool. Thank you so much! [20:39] theadmin: -bash: restart: command not found. do you know any other method to restart it? [20:39] angs: ...What Ubuntu version is this? [20:39] bitbyte: so do you have password or key authorisation set up in sshd? [20:39] hi guys :) [20:40] theadmin, it is an old debian (lenny). I thought the commands should be almost the same for debian and ubuntu [20:40] wlldwind: got both at the moment === DocGroove is now known as DocGrooveAway [20:40] and you want to change keys or what [20:40] angs: you cant restart bash from inside it. And we have no clue whats different in Debian. [20:40] angs: ...Err, not at all. Debian uses the old System V Init, Ubuntu ses Upstart... [20:41] i want to shift from password to using rya keys [20:41] angs: Ask Debian stuff in #debian , but I think "/etc/init.d/dbus restart" would do it. Not sure tho [20:41] rsa? [20:41] bitbyte: Whats "rya"? [20:41] thank you [20:41] but the directories and files the config's it mentions in the sshd don't exsist [20:41] yeh rsa [20:41] theadmin: yes it was /etc/init.d/dbus restart, thanks a lot [20:41] hello [20:41] bekks: please don't be pedantic [20:42] angs, no as ubuntu has change much in the passed years to the point were that interchangeable cli are not so [20:42] bitbyte: I beleive he honestly didn't understand you [20:42] bitbyte: Oh, I'm sorry for just asking whats "rya" since I never heard it in terms of ssh. [20:42] bekks: sorry was type for rsa [20:42] im downgrading to 12.04 [20:42] bitbyte: If you are missing your keys, generate them first. [20:43] bitbyte: ssh-keygen -t rsa [20:43] samgabbay, which verson are you? [20:43] they are generated on both client and host [20:43] 13.04 [20:43] bitbyte: then you generate the keys, put them in /home/username/.ssh/authorised_keys, test, then deny password auth. [20:43] my xorg had crushed , and cannot be started , so i made a live-cd to recover , the problem is it doesnt see the ubuntu partition, so i made an new installation , in the grub when i selet windows loader , i can see my old ubuntu , and still connot recover/fix the gnome any idea ? [20:43] Poop: poop [20:43] but I'm to add to authorized_keys in ~/.ssh/ which seems to not be there [20:43] samgabbay, and why are you downdraging? i an here to see if its worth upgrading === jack is now known as Guest59624 [20:43] Hi, is it possible to make a softlink to another server, so that a user can log into an ftp to one server, go into a dir which is really a softlink to a dir on another server and then put his files there? [20:44] wildwind: bitbyte: the file is named authorized_keys [20:44] wildwind: bitbyte: please note the z instead of s [20:44] @johnny for my graphics the support is not out yet or probably wont be till the next version comes out and 12.04 is more stable [20:44] Hello could someone help me please [20:44] btw im a ubuntu tester/qateam [20:44] I need to uninstall ubuntu and reinstall windows [20:45] bekks: yes, thank you [20:45] diverdude, do you have it set up (ftp servers? [20:45] bekks: sorry I'm situated in the uk and know its a z not an s but its hard when touch typing to fight your spelling [20:45] bitbyte: if it doesn't exist, create it [20:45] my xorg had crushed , and cannot be started , so i made a live-cd to recover , the problem is it doesnt see the ubuntu partition, so i made an new installation , in the grub when i selet windows loader , i can see my old ubuntu , and still connot recover/fix the gnome any idea ? [20:45] Pummpy1: Just install Windows removing your Ubuntu partitions. [20:45] sorry for the line clone [20:46] @theadmin How would I do this. Whenever I try to install windows. It says I have no space I think or something like that. I am unsure how I could fix it [20:46] johnnyfireworks, yeah i have ftp setup..its in is on 192.168.0.18 and other is on 192.168.0.16 [20:46] its seems that its available in windows boot loader only [20:46] bitbyte: ssh-copy-id can do it for you, provided user's current password [20:47] Pummpy1: Well, Windows isn't supported here so go figure it out with Microsoft or whatever. [20:47] :L [20:47] wlldwind: at the moment i can't do that one as my client is on osx platform [20:47] thanks for the help theadmin [20:47] so I'm looking at cat'in it over first then scp'ing [20:47] samgabbay, rue but thats is close soure stuff your talking about- and linux has been fighting to be the best on its own. but to get the loin share of the meat we use this. so its really up to them to say when and where they want tp support linux. same goes for wifi. [20:48] wlldwind: only issue is when doing cat ~/.ssh/id_rsa.pub | ssh root@example.com 'cat - >> ~/.ssh/authorized_keys' keep getting permission denied even through the perms on /.ssh is 700 and 600 on all files [20:48] ciao [20:48] !list [20:48] gasper: No warez here!

[20:50] wlldwind: well its not going into root thats the example command of what I'm doing its into a users directory [20:50] Pummpy1: yous put in your win dvd and proceed until you have to choose where you want to instal win, there you can delete all partitions and make new ones === DocGrooveAway is now known as DocGroove [20:50] binBlob I sound like a noob I know. But how do you do this? [20:50] bitbyte: remember to set proper permissions on file if doing it under root [20:51] diverdude, im trying to better understand what you want to do ,as the first statement was not as clear to me [20:51] I know a bit about computors but when it comes to ubuntu im useless [20:51] So, is there an easy way to make a raid 1 on ubuntu? Want to take the two 2bt hdd's I have and make a raid 1 for extra storage on this server.

[20:52] diverdude: Thats not possible. [20:52] mojtaba: #xbmc [20:53] iceroot: thanks [20:53] bitbyte: btw tab completes nicknames [20:53] bekks, diverdude if theres a will theres a way. even if he may need to create it. [20:53] wildwind: Not if you make a typo at the second letter already :P [20:53] johnnyfireworks: Well, good luck then. [20:53] dosnt work on my client [20:53] bekks, why is it not possible?

[20:55] Casey, thats the info bot [20:56] Casey, follow the links [20:56] johnnyfireworks: I have no clue what you are talking about. [20:56] iceroot is a bot? wow feel stupid [20:56] bekks, why is it not possible? [20:56] bekks, nvm [20:57] diverdude: Because its not invented yet, to work that way. [20:57] moses, u have any luck with your install? [20:57] bekks, so ftp cannot access a softlink that points to a NFS? [20:57] diverdude, just a few min, i too am curious about what your doing an like to find out how. [20:58] diverdude, dont go no where [20:58] bitbyte: look at https://github.com/beautifulcode/ssh-copy-id-for-OSX [20:58] for now I'm manually copying and pasting in and testing [20:58] Casey: that means that most people think that RAID1 is a backup for the data [20:59] hello everyone, i've an issue with tcp connecting with ubuntu 13.04... i can ping anywhere, attempt to ftp will fail, no connection on browser... i can't configure pppoeconf but dhclient will set my eth0 fine... [20:59] Casey: normally you never need RAID1 when you are not hosting a system which needs 24/7 high availibility [20:59] Do I need to care about pid files if I do a upstart daemon ? [21:02] binBlob: Not much. All you do need is two lines really "start on start_event" (where start_event is the condition for starting the daemon) and "exec /path/to/binary/file" [21:02] someone using the latest nvidia driver 319? [21:03] wlldwind: hopefully this will do the trick thanks alot [21:04] or about bumblebee? Do I have to modprobe the nvidia kernel module before using bumblebee? [21:06] theadmin: k now it's working :) [21:06] diverdude, are you there? [21:06] diverdude, are you there? [21:06] wlldwind: do you know why ssh-copy-id would give permission denied cause the authorized_keys file is under 600 permissions [21:07] johnnyfireworks, yeah [21:07] diverdude, its possible google softlinks via ftp [21:08] bitbyte: cause you're connecting under different user [21:08] mmm even though its got 600 perms its still down as root file [21:08] diverdude, http://serverfault.com/questions/138555/setup-symbolic-link-where-users-can-access-it-with-ftp [21:08] wlldwind: -rw------- 1 root root 752 May 26 21:57 authorized_keys [21:09] diverdude, that may be close to what your looking for?

[21:38] notably, I wanna desactivate auto-lauch of dovecot and fetchmail [21:38] wildwind, i need the nfs version. not the ubuntu package version [21:39] diverdude: 1.2.5 [21:39] I have tried with updaterc.d without success [21:39] wildwind, i really dont think thats the nfs version. should be either v.3 or 4 [21:40] hi...got problem with fvd speed-dial...I want new tab to be shown in 4 columns, but when I change it it won't save the settings...could anybody explain how is it possible? is there a place in system where are these settings saved?

[21:41] wildwind, no [21:41] wildwind, nfs version [21:41] aaah, I see [21:42] binBlob, it's a server, so bum is unavailable I guess [21:42] wildwind, its because i get access denied [21:42] wildwind, when i try to connect to nfs [21:42] i dont know why [21:42] speredenn: kk then im out [21:42] diverdude: v3 or v4 is protocol version [21:43] wildwind, oh ok [21:43] binBlob, thanks anyway :-) [21:43] wildwind, sry then :) [21:43] speredenn: the only thing i know is that the scripts should be at /etc/init & /etc/init.d === Gycklarn- is now known as Gycklarn [21:44] actually, they are, but they are not properly recognized my updaterc.d as they have been converted to the "service sth command" architecture [21:44] wildwind, why do i get access denied? [21:44] wildwind, is it because of version problem? [21:44] Hello [21:45] diverdude: followed this guide: https://help.ubuntu.com/community/SettingUpNFSHowTo ? [21:45] diverdude: almost certainly no [21:45] wildwind, server is ubuntu 12.04 and client is debian wheezy [21:46] binBlob, I might have an answer here http://askubuntu.com/questions/19320/whats-the-recommended-way-to-enable-disable-services [21:46] I try that... [21:47] diverdude: if you want nfs with no security (guest access), follow "quick start" part [21:48] wildwind, that guide want to share various users home directories. I am not interested in that. I only want to share a single directory located in /home/bdi/www/mydownloadsdir [21:49] diverdude: well, substitute your path [21:49] binBlob, the answer is pretty tricky and is ubuntu specific; I'll see at boot if it works or not. Thanks for the help :-). [21:50] wildwind, i made sure the dir has 777 [21:50] binBlob, btw, you where not far with /etc/init ;-) [21:51] diverdude: see logs [21:52] wildwind, this is the content of my /etc/exports http://paste.ubuntu.com/5704968/ am I missing sth there?

I moved the ISO to the grml and its in binary file now. When I restart the system and hold 'shift', the grub doesn't appear.. ?? [21:57] wildwind, ? [21:57] diverdude: compare with guide [21:57] Guest68488: am besten kommt man hier mit englisch an. #ubuntu-de ist der deutsche channel [21:57] sorry [21:58] Greetings. I moved the ISO to the grml and its in binary file now. When I restart the system and hold 'shift', the grub doesn't appear.. ?? [21:58] wildwind, well i have and looks ok and still no works [21:58] Is it right? [21:58] NO.. [21:58] Oppheimer: How does the ISO file relate to grub? [21:58] again, do you want access control by users or not? [21:58] which would be the recommended program for streaming dvb-c streams to rtp or even igmp? [21:59] syntroPi: vlc? [22:00] yeah but i would prefer a non gui program with some remote interface [22:00] syntroPi: it has it [22:01] syntroPi: vlc has a commandline and a web interface [22:01] vlc is way too big, i want to try it on my desktop box but then i would like to use it on my embedded headless machine [22:02] Diamondcite: I would like to install the Raring with the GRML method.. Its not working.. [22:02] syntroPi: see also DVBlast [22:03] Oppheimer: In the boot options too.. [22:03] Diamondcite: In the BIOS [22:03] Oppheimer: You are not making enough sense.. [22:04] syntroPi: also what device do you have === houser is now known as diverdude [22:04] Diamondcite: What do you mean? [22:04] Oppheimer: Why can't the rar tool be installed inside Ubuntu itself? Why GRML? [22:04] wildwind, my ubuntu chrashed i had to restart [22:04] wildwind, happns rather often :) [22:05] Diamondcite: I would like to install the Ubuntu 13.04 with the GRML, from the hard drive. It is a rescueboot method.. Its not working here.. [22:06] diverdude: do you want access control by users or not? [22:06] wildwind, no...just open it. i have put no_root_squash [22:06] Oppheimer: As far as I know.. Ubuntu it supposed to be installed from a USB drive or a DVD.. Never heard of installing an OS from inside another OS... [22:07] /home/bdi/www/mysite.download 192.168.1.0/24(rw,no_root_squash,fsid=0,no_subtree_check) [22:07] wildwind, i have a em28xx usb device (pctv quatro nano 520e) which receives all the dvb-c pid streams on one frequency/bouquet [22:07] is it ok to just create custom scripts in /etc/init.d/ called whatever i want? [22:08] Possible to install OI within Solaris, with ZFS, that is as far as I heard [22:08] also what is my 'killproc' ? [22:08] Diamondcite: Ok, don't be rude.. Got it. [22:08] diverdude: then follow the guide again, 'quick start' part, exactly, changing only your shared directory path [22:09] wildwind, i folloed already each and every step :/ [22:11] diverdude: your /etc/exports differs significantly [22:12] diverdude: one line instead of two and options === linuxthefish` is now known as linuxthefish [22:14] wildwind, but those 2 lines do not indicate which directory to export [22:15] diverdude: really? what do they indicate then? [22:15] Is it possible to dd only used space of a whole drive ? [22:17] wildwind, for users home dir to be exported. [22:17] binBlob: no, there are other tools for that. [22:17] binBlob: no. dd works with sectors, while 'used' is a filesystem term (a levels higher) [22:18] binBlob: *level [22:20] diverdude: /export is a single mount point for exported dirs. it should present in file [22:21] Hello good people, i could need some help here befoer this puppy crash totally [22:21] wildwind: well i want to backup my raspberry pi sd card, which has 2 partitions but I dont really want to save 8gb as only 2 or 3gb are in use. Which tool should i use for that task ? [22:21] AndEilert: you mean Puppy distro? :) [22:22] binBlob: tar [22:22] Ubuntu had an update right, downloaded it, installed it, and it asked for a reboot.. sure.. but it would have to wait for a little bit, was doing some work... AAAND, i was stupid enough to leave my computer for abit, and i ran out of power... and no my updater wont work, it saiys"Failed to download repository info, check your internet connection" AND, my screen has been really weird, giving my these awful colored waves flashing here [22:23] wildwind: no, it was more of a figure of speech, sorry :( [22:23] wildwind: can tar also restore the partitions ? [22:24] AndEilert: i see, don't apologize [22:24] binBlob: no [22:24] binBlob: try Clonezilla [22:24] binBlob: CloneZilla can [22:24] ok I have a question. I am about to dual boot windows 7 with ubuntu. But I want to know, is video playback better in ubuntu or windows with video files with say vlc or xbmc player? [22:25] wildwind: kk gonna look into that thanks === linuxthefish is now known as linuxthefish` [22:25] michael87: depend on files and your hardware === linuxthefish` is now known as linuxthefish [22:26] wildwind, I think it is a sada drive. and most of my files I encode to h264 [22:26] wildwind, lol sorry confused hardware with hardrive [22:27] wildwind, intel graphics card built into the motherboard on dell laptop [22:27] wildwind, 256mbs graphics === linuxthefish is now known as linuxthefish` [22:27] michael87: if they are not so heavy to require hardware decoding, don't worry [22:28] so i got a vm with 12.04....just installed it....but when i try to run sudo apt-get update....i just keep getting this: Connecting to security.ubuntu.com]Connection to 127.0.0.1 closed by remote host. Connection to 127.0.0.1 closed. [22:28] michael87: test on youtube [22:29] wildwind, I'm not worried about that. I'm just a video quality freak. [22:29] wildwind, erm tested videos on youtube. They run fine save a little video tear on fullscreen [22:29] is it something to do with the ssh? or why is it quiting the vm on that...i can install all right...only on sudo apt-get update it quits the vm [22:30] no one with a solution to my repository problem?:( === harris_ is now known as harris [22:31] could someone give me a hand with openvpn on ubuntu server 12.04? [22:31] michael87: as of tearing, MPC is still leading [22:32] Hey anyone knows an open source photo web gallery software that can read/scan paths on filesystems (I tried zenphoto) [22:32] wildwind, vlc doesn't tear though it runs fine. I just think that video quality seems better on my laptop then they do on my desktop wich runs windows 7. I don't know if it is an os thing or is vlc naturally better on ubuntu [22:33] aleza84: albumshaper? [22:33] michael87: It could be that the laptop has a slower LCD screen so the artifacts are not showing as clearly. [22:33] wildwind, and windows media player sucks for everything on windows lol [22:33] michael87: monitor maybe [22:33] is there any channel to talk about openvpn? I really need a help [22:33] th0r: web... [22:34] michael87: To test that hook up your laptop to the screen you use on your other computer and see. [22:34] blueeagle, erm. so what you are sayying is it has nothing to do with the os? [22:34] michael87: MPC Home Cinema rules on win [22:34] aleza84: web how? Albumshaper creates thumbs and html pages [22:34] michael87: I am saying that "seems like" is so vague that the monitor is a real possibillity. [22:35] th0r: I was looking a software I can drop on /var/www that I can configure to scan a path /media/blabla/images and creates the galleries [22:35] michael87: Of course different codecs used in different OSes may show real difference, but all codecs implement standards and those standards don't necessarily leave much room to play within. [22:35] blueeagle, it probably is moniter. or my graphics. my desktop motherboard uses ati built in 256 while my laptop is an integrated 256 intel.

[22:39] seems the script isn't installed on server 64-bit [22:39] 12.04 [22:39] got it, nm [22:40] YokoBr: Are you trying to connect several computers on different networks together with a VPN server? If so then you need additional magic. What OpenVPN (or any vpn server) does is connect computers on different networks to a target network, not to each other. [22:40] YokoBr: to 'see each other' go through this section of official guide: http://openvpn.net/index.php/open-source/documentation/howto.html#scope [22:42] wildwind, how would i invoke dvblast? i tried "dvblast -a 0 -c 362000000-qam-256.cfg -f 362000000 -m qam_256 -b 8 -e" which exits with "error: setting frontend failed (Invalid argument)" [22:43] with vlc i can tune to that frequency [22:44] syntroPi: sorry, never used it [22:46] wildwind, do you know about any good howto [22:47] is there a boot cd out there with all the tools I need to resize an encrypted partition already on it?

[23:43] im on root on this machine [23:43] wildwind: [23:43] any help with my problem would be nice [23:44] moses_: i mean with winscp [23:45] Hmm. [23:45] its really not my day today... i cannot find my one working USB stick [23:45] is there notthing i can do to purge/reset package sources [23:45] jrib, just yesterday I set up an ssh connection to this same machine through nautilus, added a bookmark pointing to it, and used it several times. It worked fine for an hour or so and then quit. [23:46] wildwind: yeah that works [23:46] wildwind: this user that im logged into the ubuntu machine doesnt have permission to create folders [23:46] moses_: and simply creating directory does not? [23:47] not on the server im logged into [23:47] yeah it denies me [23:47] jrib, this is all I get: "ssh: connect to host 192.168.**.* port 22: Connection timed out" [23:47] moses_: it's a problem with winscp then [23:49] When I run the command 'sudo modprobe ndiswrapper' in ubuntu 13.04 x86 i get the following output 'ERROR: could not insert 'ndiswrapper': Exec format error any ideas how I can remedy this problem? [23:49] jrib, if I run the command in verbose mode I get the following, then eventually the timeout message: OpenSSH_6.1p1 Debian-4, OpenSSL 1.0.1c 10 May 2012 [23:49] debug1: Reading configuration data /etc/ssh/ssh_config [23:49] debug1: /etc/ssh/ssh_config line 19: Applying options for * [23:49] debug1: Connecting to 192.168.**.* [192.168.**.*] port 22. [23:50] twig11: what's the output of « sudo iptables -L » on the server? [23:51] wildwind: no [23:51] twig11: and you're censoring the local ip? (why?) [23:51] jrib, thanks for the help, gotta run now, but I'll check that when I get back. Sorry to take off on you. [23:51] its a problem with the permissions of this user on this ubuntu computer [23:51] twig11: it's cool, I had to step out too :) [23:53] reddeath68: any chance you've got x86-64 version of the module instead of x86? [23:53] ok i will simply have to wait till I can get another USB stick. [23:54] moses_: which protocol exactly are you using to connect, ftp or sftp? [23:54] the spare machine has an nvidia gt640 .. i want to check if ubuntu unity works on it before moving that card across to my main machine - on 12.10 compositing window managers were unsupported on this card [23:54] its sftp im sure because i didnt install an ftp [23:55] So your ssh user is using winscp and cant access some directrory? but can access their home? or did i miss somthing [23:55] ive heard clamav is the best anti-virus for ubuntu is this true? === Inoperabled is now known as Inoperable [23:56] Hi. My Android smartphone runs an ad-hoc network (so my laptop can get wireless internet through my phone's data plan). I can connect to this ad-hoc network in Windows on this same computer, and it also worked when I used to run Ubuntu 10.10 on this computer. I recently installed Ubuntu 12.04 (clean install, not upgrade), and now when I try to connect to the ad-hoc network, it just keeps asking me for my password and never connects. Moreover, once I [23:57] ^ Did that cut off due to length? [23:57] mradot, 'best' is to use several differnt AV scanner tools. But you do realize most all those tools just scan windows files for windows viruses? [23:57] When I run the command 'sudo modprobe ndiswrapper' in ubuntu 13.04 x86 i get the following output 'ERROR: could not insert 'ndiswrapper': Exec format error any ideas how I can remedy this problem? [23:58] Dr_willis: i dont use windows [23:58] mradot, then you really dont have a need for an AV tool on linux [23:58] wildwind, i got it now: i received it with udp but the stream from dvblast was rtp... so with rtp it works just fine [23:59] syntroPi: glad to hear it
