[00:00] wildwind, that dvblast was quite a nice tip, now i can stream all channels from one bouquet (same frequency) as multicast to my lan :)) [00:00] moses_: do you have another Ubuntu machine in your network to test with? [00:01] i do not [00:01] I am getting randomly this error in my concole: ERROR Error executing hooks: 'NoneType' object has no attribute '__getitem__' [00:01] wth is that ? === DocGroove is now known as DocGrooveAway [00:02] kk have it figured out! [00:03] moses_: ok let's test it locally with sftp command in terminal [00:03] wait [00:03] wildwind: [00:03] actually I would like to make a directory and give everyone full access to it [00:04] so what's the problem with it === mnepton is now known as mneptok [00:06] hi! to all [00:08] i have a problem with the keyboard some of the cracters are not in they re places, spanish keyboard asus eeepc 1001px [00:08] 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? [00:09] how do you give read/write full access to a folder? [00:09] what man page do i need to look up to learn this [00:10] !permissions | moses_ [00:10] moses_: An explanation of what file permissions are and how they can be manipulated can be found at https://help.ubuntu.com/community/FilePermissions [00:11] chown/chmod basics. [00:13] hello everyone. What is the font I need for chinese fonts from command line? [00:13] (and the package name) [00:17] zerai why not try apt-cache search searchterm, replace searchterm with your own, that might gie you a good lead [00:20] Hello [00:22] betrayd, I've been searching. and having no luck. it's supposed to be GBK 32 for the font, but I can't find it [00:22] Bello [00:22] Hello* [00:23] wazzup?

[00:26] In chatting from my phone so excuse the errors... [00:26] So I left it unmounted and finished booting... how do I check on what happened? [00:26] tacos con salsa picante [00:27] s1 familiar with bittorrent sync in here ? [00:27] can anyone help me w/ my headphone jack not working after some update ran for 12.04LTS [00:27] binBlob: i've used it [00:27] 23223 [00:27] hiya, i'm playing an online flash game, i've been asked to run windows xdiags to send them the output, what is the ubuntu equivilent? [00:28] surfdaemon: how do i connect 2 linux machines through the minimal web gui ?? [00:28] is anyone working with ubuntu studio here? [00:28] binBlob: create the secret for the folder on one machine, and then on the second machine paste that secret into the box for the secret when adding the folder. [00:29] betrayd, apt-cache search gbk / apt-cache search chinese [00:29] inspirion3 wich kind of computer are u using_ [00:29] ? [00:29] zerai also try language? [00:29] Qbrt, there is an #ubuntu-studio channel [00:30] @ibo dell e1505... dont know the exact inspiron model number [00:30] its an old laptop [00:30] oh and the cn channel... [00:30] @ibo updates ran, broke sound, at the time, I thought I did it... so I reinstalled the OS... same issue. [00:30] !cn [00:30] 如欲獲得中文的協助，請輸入 /join #ubuntu-cn 或 /join #ubuntu-tw [00:31] binBlob: I'm using the config files though. Was easier for me to work out the config once and copy it to other machines, not opening up a webgui for all of them. [00:31] i had problems with the internal microphone with an asus eeepc 1001px with 10.04 ubuntu [00:31] @ibo speakers work fine, I watch the sound settings, when I plugin headphones, I see it switch, but theres no sound [00:31] surfdaemon: buhh I am so lazy that I want to configure this out over the gui ;/ [00:32] and i did compiled the last kernel stable [00:32] betrayd, brings up a LOT of results, having nothing to do with fonts [00:32] so I saw some forum posts about the asus, but I didn't know what I need to do for the dell [00:32] surfdaemon: the gui dont seem to have a add folder option [00:32] and did work, but my webcam then wasn-t working the webcam [00:32] betrayd, I don't speak chinese, some of the programs I use are coded in chinese though === g_byers is now known as gbyers[BNC] [00:34] so with the 12.04 now is runing everything [00:35] so might be the kernel if at the gurb they may put a option to run it with the old kernel if i-m not wrong [00:35] so run it with the new [00:35] binBlob: I see it on mine, it was a button on the localhost:8888/gui/ [00:35] downgrade the kernel you're saying? [00:36] u did and upgrade of the 10 t0 12 right? [00:37] fresh install of 12.04 today === tonsofpc1 is now known as tonsofpcs [00:38] okay don-t know, might be working if compile the last kernel stable, just an idea, does someone a better answer? [00:39] how do i cd to the network? [00:40] surfdaemon: ahh now i've got it, its for sharing and reciving [00:41] zerai no i mean use the searchterm 'language' [00:43] kk I'm out bb everyone [00:48] WeThePeople: explain please what you mean === mike_ is now known as Guest57023 [00:49] anyone have experience creating meta packages, have two packages that wont install, could be because they are in universe? [00:49] wildwind, i dual boot win8 x64 and ubuntu 12.04.4 x64, in the network dir. there are windows file sharing devices 'connected' to my computer that i do not want there, i am trying to remove them === Inoperable is now known as Inoperabled [00:51] WeThePeople: what the network dir? [00:51] and nautilus says it cant handle network/// [00:51] yes [00:52] WeThePeople: ah Nautilus [00:52] ubuntu is picking up those devices from windows [00:52] WeThePeople, what service is ot accessing? Samba? if so its smb://servername/ (or ip#) [00:52] ubuntu phone is coming ubuntu phone is coming [00:52] smb://servernameorip/sharename [00:52] tones: when? [00:52] dr_willis, thanks [00:52] tones, i will belive it when i see it in the stores. [00:52] I'll believe it when it's in my cold dead hand. [00:53] WeThePeople: where do you see them then, if Nautilus can't open it? [00:53] WeThePeople, the network:// i think is like special location that scans all the network. but i cant recall ever using it. [00:53] WeThePeople, you can also mount samba shares by hand to a local directroy [00:53] was just watching the youtube videos of the phone, interface looks good [00:54] wildwind, gksudo cant handle it [00:54] it is smb [00:54] tones, personally i was not that impressed.. but it will be some time i imagine befor you can actually get a device like it from a major carrier. [00:54] WeThePeople, if you ran nautilus with gksudo. it may be trying to access the shares as the 'root' user. not your normal user name. [00:55] thats it then [00:55] i cant see any reason to try to access samba shares as root. ;) [00:56] how to tcpdum whois somedomain.com ? [00:57] Quest: run tcpdump in one terminal and whois in another [00:58] wildwind, $ tcpdump eth0 [00:58] tcpdump: no suitable device found [00:58] ifconfig should show what devices are there === ruben is now known as Guest36769 [00:59] Quest: -i eth0 === Guest36769 is now known as Rubentje [01:00] Anybody know more about this "serious errors found" on disk check? [01:00] wildwind: try "ifconfig -a" to list all devices. [01:01] puff, could be you need to fsck the filesystem from a live cd. [01:01] hx wildwind [01:09] Dr_willis: It's unmounted now (it's my bulk data partition). Any particular reason I need to fsck it from a live partition instead of from the regular shell? [01:10] puff: anything interesting in logs? === james is now known as Guest62698 [01:15] wildwind: Not that I can tell, but I'm not sure where to look. [01:16] wildwind: The partition is on /dev/sda4, so I grepped /var/log for sda4, only got a few lines and nothing obviously wrong. === dominic_ is now known as mdih [01:16] Ah, boot.log... [01:17] http://paste.ubuntu.com/5705366/ [01:18] in ubuntu 10.04 I'm not able to install the google voice download through gmai, using ff or chrome, the button won't click googled it, nada [01:18] gmai gmail === Lajjla is now known as MeinKrampf [01:19] tones: why use 10.04 still? [01:19] Gnea, cuz I tried unetbootin with 12 and it wouldnt boot [01:19] Hm, so it says "the filesystem size (according to the superblock) is 85817856 blocks\n The physical size of the device is 85817825 blocks.\n Either the superblock or the partition table is likely to be corrupt." [01:20] on a usb [01:20] and 13, when I click on a unity panel, screen freezes in pixilation [01:20] and 10 is smooth [01:20] tones: 12.04 or 12.10 is what you tried? [01:20] 12.04 unetbootin usb [01:21] tones: old hardware? [01:21] This is almost certainly because I use the centos installer to shrink that partition. [01:21] athlon yes [01:21] tones: okay, so what is this 'google voice' thing you're trying to install? [01:21] tones: I know what google voice is, I just don't understand what sort of integration you're trying to achieve [01:22] question: If a font for a foreign language is installed, and should be workign but is not, is there any way to set that locale in an sh file so that program runs with that locale? [01:22] http://www.google.com/intl/en/chat/voice/ [01:22] puff: soryy, have to go now, but i'd take the suggestion and run fsck again [01:22] I can't click on that and install [01:22] wildwind: Thanks. [01:23] tones, download the .deb and sudo gdebi foo.deb perhaps? [01:23] hello, is there any way to find what files are contained in a package and where those files will be installed ? [01:23] tones: neither can I. Hrm. [01:23] before apt-get install package-name [01:23] puff: take a dd backup before, if you have enough space [01:23] LinuxNewbie, the synaptic package manager shows what files are in the .deb/package in the details tab also [01:24] Dr_willis, is there anyway not to use synaptic ? [01:24] LinuxNewbie, or download the .deb and look. why does it matter? [01:24] Hey, a seemingly successful install of ubuntu 13.04 won't boot... I've never had this issue with any other version of ubuntu - anyone know what might be the culprit? [01:25] Dr_willis, in the software center it says the deb and gdebi packages are already installed [01:25] Dr_willis, just because i want to know what files a package contain before installing it and where those files will be placed ...ok ...i'll try to download a .deb and then look at it [01:25] LinuxNewbie: I believe there are ways to do it. I'm not sure with Debian-based distros though, I think there's apt-file(s) [01:26] LinuxNewbie: apt-get download, then dpkg -L [01:26] LinuxNewbie: wildwind's way is faster though. [01:26] wildwind: I don't have the space, but it's a bulk data partition, so most of what's on it should be recoverable by other means. [01:26] synaptic package manager, gdebi installer and gdebi core are installed [01:26] wildwind: e.g. re-ripping CDs, re-downloading tar files ore installers, etc. [01:27] Gnea, what version are you using? [01:27] Dr_willis: Can you suggest some good google search terms for this? [01:27] tones: honestly, whenever I click on the 'call phone' button on the side of my gmail display, it brings up the dialing dialog [01:27] tones: 12.04 [01:27] Gnea, but can you make a call? [01:27] wildwind, dpgk -L it's useful if i have installed the package ...or at least this is what know so far...ty ...i'll have a look [01:27] tones: so it 'just works' [01:27] tones: sec [01:27] tones: ah no, it takes me to the same link [01:28] Gnea, same here, so what's the solution [01:28] LinuxNewbie: dpkg is for .deb files. [01:28] I want to use google voice, [01:28] but if you're on 12 that's not the issue [01:28] Hey, a seemingly successful install of ubuntu 13.04 won't boot... I've never had this issue with any other version of ubuntu - anyone know what might be the culprit? there's no UEFI entry in the bios could be the problem? [01:28] rypervenche, ok ...ty [01:29] !repeat xeviox_ [01:29] xeviox_, id try that boot-repair tool from a live cd and se eif it can straighten it out [01:29] tones: I'm going to figure that out right now :-) [01:29] !fixgrub [01:29] 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 [01:29] Gnea, ok let me know [01:29] lol I botched the command [01:30] Dr_willis, Already tried that - no avail I'm afraid [01:30] question: If a font for a foreign language is installed, and should be workign but is not, is there any way to set that locale in an sh file so that program runs with that locale? [01:31] you can do somthing like LOCALE=whatever command [01:31] zerai: LANG=en_US.UTF-8 [01:31] zerai: Change which the locale you want to use. [01:31] or export the variable, then run the command [01:32] rypervenche, in the sh file? [01:32] zerai: Yep, which locale do you want to use? [01:32] rypervenche, so like.. set LANG=zh_CN.UTF-8 [01:32] simplified chinese [01:32] zerai: If you want to use that locale throughout the entire script, go ahead and do "export LANG=zh_CN.UTF-8" at the beginning of the script. [01:33] ok, and then it will be normal for everything but that script? [01:33] Yep. [01:33] I'll give it a shot [01:33] and see if that works [01:33] zerai: PM me if it doesn't work. I know enough 中文 to get by to be able to help. [01:35] tones: figured it out. someone made a ppa: http://www.ubuntuupdates.org/ppa/google_talk_plugin [01:36] just installed Plex Media Server how do I point it to the downloads folder on my laptop? [01:36] tones: there's a button labeled "All versions of google-talkplugin'" that will take you to the 10.04 version [01:36] tones: it has 32bit and 64bit [01:36] Hi there. Installed the latest Ubuntu. I have an nvidia card, with bumblebee installed. Now is there a way to get the discrete GPU to run compize? Visual effects are "laggy", minimizing windows, opening the menu, etc. [01:37] sounds lik eyour drivers may not be in use. or are goofed up. [01:37] what is your specific cards? it may be you are not using the nvidia card [01:37] tones: and yes, I just made a phone call with it. [01:38] Dr_willis: I'm using a GeForce 600M GTX . optirun glxspheres, I get > 200 FPS [01:38] 660M GTX* sorry [01:39] tones: thanks! I didn't even know I had the same problem lol [01:39] Pyru, could be theres some trick to get the whole desktop to be on the nvidia card. I dont use Bumblebee/that stuff.. [01:39] Apparently it's a kernel bug with my motherboard, probably just going to stick with 12.10 then... good waste of a few hours I guess [01:39] xeviox_, theres the mainstream kernels you can try [01:40] Dr_willis, I'd be clueless trying to patch it, but thanks === qos|away is now known as qos [01:41] xeviox_, patch? Hmm. I just started using the 3.9 kernel from the mainstream repos. dident patch anything. it fixed a few issues i had. [01:41] Gnea, it works now, yes, thank you :) [01:41] another daily ubuntu nugget [01:41] Dr_willis, I'm not even able to boot in to the system though - so there's not an awful lot I can do, is there? [01:42] Gnea, google voice gonna save me lots of prepaid minutes [01:44] xeviox_: chroot? [01:44] tones: :-) === zerai is now known as Saiki [01:46] Gnea, what did you type into google to find that link, google talk plugin ubuntu doesnt show the link [01:49] vv [01:49] surfdaemon, i'll give it a go [01:51] yes it does [01:52] i have a usb stick i would like to be able to boot from any of 3 isos [01:52] possible? [01:52] gparted, ubuntu, arch linux [01:52] djshotglass, grub2 can boot iso files from a USB drive - yes... [01:52] its very possible. [01:53] the Pendrivelinux site even has tools to do it for you [01:53] nice [01:53] djshotglass, pendrivelinux yumi too [01:53] you can slso setup grub2 on your installed system to boot iso files [01:53] So how reliable is gparted for fixing this sort of stuff? [01:53] for windows [01:54] gparted is pretty much the main tool for messing with partions (in a gui way) === benjamo is now known as benjamino [01:54] boot.log (http://paste.ubuntu.com/5705366/) says "the filesystem size (according to the superblock) is 85817856 blocks\n The physical size of the device is 85817825 blocks.\n Either the superblock or the partition table is likely to be corrupt." This is almost certainly because I used the centos installer to shrink that partition. Thinking of using gparted to fix it. [01:55] puff: It looks like you shrunk it too much. [01:56] gparted should be able to fix it. [01:57] Hm... I could swear I had more than 30GB of free space on that partition. [01:57] But if I *did* shrink it too much, is there any way to recover/restore it? [01:58] you might not have lost any data.. its just a few blocks differance [01:59] puff: I would try to increase the size of the partition and then then file system. [01:59] 30! [02:01] I have 10-15 ubuntu desktops and several ubuntu servers around 20 or so on my lan at home (mostly for testing) I would like to setup either a proxy or repo ... i was looking at apt-cacher but it requires changing the source list ... my question is does anyone know of a way to setup something to (for the lack of the proper term) cache all updates that are requested on the lan with out changeing the client computers ? [02:02] apt-cacher-ng requires i think one extra file in the /etc/apt/config dirs [02:02] ive used it on my home lan befor.. was rather easy to setup [02:03] i doubt if theres going to be an easy way to 'force' all the updates from a lan machine without changeing settings on each client [02:04] nice ill have to check it out ... thanks ... just really do not want to have to make changes to every build as i go throu a few builds a day some times [02:04] i just seem to recall needing to cut/paste/add one file. but its been a while [02:04] I was thinking there must be some way of adding dns options to point all updates going throu the router to a cache server [02:05] jgcampbell300 do you run a computer as a router? [02:05] squid cache would probably do it [02:05] packages are all http arent they? === JKL1234- is now known as Fritz_The_Cat [02:05] djshotglass, yes [02:06] jgcampbell300: you could always run a local DNS server and then have a machine that impersonates the main repos. [02:06] squid cache ... thats what i was reading on last time i had this thought ... thanks ... will be back in a few going to go do some reading [02:06] how would i flipover and unreverse a stream from streamtuner2 [02:07] http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Dnsmasq [02:07] can I have a host file with the same host name listed with multiple ips? [02:08] Umm ... why? [02:08] DrFoo, yes i belive that can work.. a common trick is to 'ad block' some sites by pointing their hostname to 127.0.0.1 [02:08] or am i backwards in what you said? [02:09] otherwise it made no sense. ;P [02:09] You did it backward. [02:10] jgcampbell300: Oh, good point... you could just create a host file pointing the repo domain at some local server, and deploy that to all of your machines. [02:10] the we have to wonder why.. ;P [02:10] Dr_willis: I want my home server to have multiple ip addresses in the hosts file [02:10] DrFoo: For what reason? [02:10] Greetings [02:11] I would like to try the local private IP when I'm home, but when I'm remote, I'd like it to use the vpn ip [02:11] hello [02:11] hi [02:12] I have switched from FreeNAS to Ubuntu, but I need to recover my ZFS HDDS. I am now at the point where I have successfully mounted my zpool. However, the directories inside still aren't accessible (unrecognized filetype). Any assistance? [02:12] May I ask a question? I need help with iptables [02:12] sure. you don't have to ask to ask. [02:12] How about a subdomain? [02:15] when attempting to save a iptables config with "sudo iptables-save > /etc/iptables.rules" I get a "bash : /etc/iptables.rules: Permission denied" messeage [02:15] Do you know why? [02:15] Ubuntu 12.04 LTS [02:15] earl1: Try to use sudo [02:15] I…did... [02:16] earl1: Wait, you are [02:16] My bad [02:16] lol [02:16] Give me a break, it's 4:15am :P [02:16] This is most frustrating. [02:16] you dont use sudo directly with > [02:16] 21:16, here. [02:16] do a ''sudo -s' or you use 'tee' in the sudo command somehow i recall [02:16] Anyway, no one on the ZFS pool? Otherwise I'm going to bed and ask again tomorrow. [02:17] "sudo -s" does the same [02:17] if youi do sudo -s [02:17] then from the root shell do a command > foo it should work. try it in your root home dir [02:17] I've been stumped all day. It worked before [02:18] :C [02:18] I dont een know what output iptables-savbve does [02:18] sudo sh -c "iptables-save > /etc/iptables.rules" [02:18] https://help.ubuntu.com/community/IptablesHowTo [02:18] iptables-save | vi ;) [02:18] earl1: I personally log into root to do these types of things. "sudo -i" then run it, "iptables-save > /etc/iptables.rules" [02:18] I am in root [02:19] rypervenche + 1 within " " [02:19] echo 'hello' > foo as a test?

[02:20] without [02:21] earl1: Ok, type "pwd" [02:21] the / is not mounted read only is it? [02:21] Probably is. [02:21] earl1, "WARNING: Iptables and NetworkManager can conflict. " [02:22] Mounted as read only? [02:22] How would I do that? [02:22] see what the mount command says about it [02:22] if the filesystem has issues.. it CAN get remounted read only [02:22] Hello , I have an issue with a package in ubuntu and I fix it by configure the source code and make but I wantbto make a package in ppa to friends how I change compile arguments on launchpad? [02:22] earl1: Just keep going, give us the output of "pwd" and also "mount | grep ro" [02:23] "pwd" returns "/etc/network" [02:25] jgcampbell300 make sure you set maximum_object_size 1024 MB [02:25] earl1: and the mount command? [02:25] and have a nice big drive on squid server [02:25] ya was just reading that ... and there are some problems with updateing to old updates [02:27] "sudo mount | grep ro" returns "/dev/sda2 on /type ext4 (rw,erros=remount-ro)" | proc on /proc type proc (rw,noexec,nosuid,nodev) [02:27] earl1: Why are you using sudo if you are already root? [02:27] habit [02:27] lol [02:28] check mount command output for info on your '/' partition seems odd it wasent mentioned in your optput above [02:28] Shall i try it without using sudo? [02:28] oh wait.. it as a missing space... [02:28] How? [02:28] earl1: Ah ok, what does "ls -ld /etc/network" give you?

It should be the modified time. [02:35] earl1: Try "cd /etc; touch testfile" [02:36] touch: cannot touch 'testfile': Permission denied [02:36] Too hard to resist command name jokes. Real bad ones. [02:37] Is etc supposed to have a sticky bit? Maybe its immutible [02:37] earl1: It sounds like your hard drive is read-only right now. [02:37] why would it be that? [02:37] I can't imagine that it would have the immutible bit on it or the sticky bit. [02:37] Earl can you cd / touch testfile ? [02:37] I have seen a drive be read-only and not show up in mount that way. [02:38] Rypervenche, true [02:38] dmesg could confirm it I suppose. [02:38] or /var/log/messages [02:38] Perhaps...

[02:40] I just installed this [02:40] Doh. [02:40] earl1: Maybe try "dmesg | grep -i only" [02:40] Did I install it wrong? [02:40] Earl what does your command prompt say [02:40] Sudo touch /testfile ? :p [02:41] no return, echo [02:41] ... [02:41] You're not root then. [02:41] earl1: try sudo chmod 755 && touch [02:41] Lol. [02:42] earl1: The problem is that you are not root.

[02:45] i need to ask about the proprietary driver [02:46] with unity [02:46] So tempted to just say sudo -i [02:46] But that is dangeroussss [02:46] yea, try sudo -i [02:46] echoe__, that's what "logout" is for :P [02:47] echoe__, more dangerous then messing with iptables and sudo > , and not understanding the basics of sudo? ;) [02:47] Rm rf / logout? [02:47] :p [02:47] I sudo -i'd [02:47] Ah hell I was taught in root so I have no idea what is and isn't safe [02:47] says, root@ [02:47] Root access for everything!!! [02:48] now you are 'root' earl1 - be carefull witbh root access [02:48] * rypervenche rolls eyes. [02:48] Wasn't I root before? [02:48] thats why I have guake for [02:48] no [02:48] earl1, aparently not... [02:48] Isn't default account root [02:48] earl1, 'touch /testfile' should work now. [02:48] ? [02:48] earl1, DEFINATLY NOT [02:48] earl1, and to get out of root, simply type "log out" [02:48] defqault account has SUDO RIGHTS. [02:49] earl1, and to get out of root, simply type "logout" * [02:49] or "exit"? [02:49] dez82, i've ran it on my radeon [02:49] earl1: exit is fine, yes. [02:49] logout = exit i belive [02:49] Is there any tool to check actual file permissions against original packager's ones? [02:49] bity: with prop driver? [02:49] idk it worked default [02:49] I never had this prob before [02:50] i didnt do any gaming on it, but it worked [02:50] earl1: Now that you are root (root@) you can run commands without any problems. You do not need to add "sudo" before any of the commands that you use. [02:50] earl1, then you have been doing somthing very weird befor... [02:50] exit works on root? [02:50] exit logs you out of the current shell [02:50] I thought that was for somethingvery different [02:50] Earl, you weren't root before. Welcome to the magical world of few restraints [02:50] what did the touch command do? [02:50] whatever user you are looged in.. [02:51] earl1, made a empty file as a test [02:51] Touch makes a file. [02:51] earl1: It created an empty file in your / directory. [02:51] earl1: You can leave it there. I wouldn't advice removing it lol. [02:52] Y not? [02:52] earl1: Seeing your record you may end up removing more important files. [02:52] haha [02:52] I would be careful [02:52] earl1: But you can remove it with "rm -f /testfile" [02:52] earl: if you mess up the command in "/" you can kill the entire OS [02:53] lol [02:53] I could reinstall [02:53] or you could learn some shell basics... [02:53] earl1: yes, you could go about things that way, learning things the hard way (hell, that's what I did..) [02:53] I know of a few [02:54] Rm -rf to remove directories! Maybe all the directories! [02:54] Which is why i chose to work with iptables over a front end [02:54] echoe__: Yeah...teach him that. That's good. [02:54] I never rm rf'd slash. I did move my root into a folder [02:54] srm 4tq [02:54] 4tw* [02:54] ftw* [02:54] Ryper he can reinstall! Learning! [02:54] hahaha [02:55] ... all I ate today was donuts. I am a little sugarrush-y. [02:55] I have the book, unix power tools [02:55] and aparently it never covered 'touch; [02:56] it's a really thick book that I never entirely covered [02:56] earl1: http://linuxcommand.org/tlcl.php [02:56] earl1: Download the PDF on that page. [02:58] echoe__: I did a chmod on my home directory once, recursively. I didn't realize that I could just put it back to the way it was, I thought it was screwed for good. Reinstalled, lol. [02:58] when installing, what does "Location for the new partition: Beginning or End" mean? [02:59] Rypervenche, ouch. X.x hehe. Well. But now! Now you know better [02:59] echoe__: And now I don't use Ubuntu ^^ [02:59] is there a GUI way to mount a windows network drive and vise versa? [02:59] What do you use then? [02:59] visa versa? you mean Unmount it? [02:59] And there was an option for logical & something else [02:59] Nautilus has a feature to access samba shares. there used to be tools like smb4k, and some other samba browser-guis as well. [03:00] bity: with proprietary driver? [03:00] Dr_Willis: vise versa meaning windows machine connect to a network drive on ubuntu [03:00] echoe__: Gentoo. [03:00] TheUsD, you make a samba share.. and browse to it via windows... its a default windows feature [03:00] Ahh, that works. I need to install that sometime. Am still a bit of a neophyte [03:01] Dr_willis: havent attempted to do so yet, was jsut seeing before I go through the trouble of it. (two day old ubuntu user here) === _baba_ is now known as baba [03:01] Dr_willis: thank you for the advice [03:02] TheUsD, easier to use ssh and winscp if you just need to transfer a few files [03:02] I'm rebooting her [03:02] lol [03:03] Reboot, it fixes permissions issues! Every time! === g_byers is now known as gbyers[Away] [03:03] Can someone help me out sitting my default Telnet handler from Chromium? No idea how to do it. :( [03:03] I'm attempting to switch my mother from windows to ubuntu [03:03] Dr_willis: No, I will be maping my windows FTP server to the drives for extra storage. kinda like a nas [03:03] I have a problem with dhcp server: it says "Can't create new lease file: Permission denied" every time it tries to rotate the lease file [03:03] heh [03:04] Waiting up to 60 more seconds for network configuration…. [03:04] r'oh [03:04] TheUsD, running a ftp server on windows? eww. there are ways to mount a ftp server to a local directory via the 'fuse' tools or again.. Nautilus can browe them [03:04] something went wrong [03:04] dez82, whatever the generic drives are [03:05] Dr_willis: the ubuntu server is just going to be a mail server and extra storage. and not eww, Wing FTP is a great program, controls all users, files, quotas, time access, expiration and ect. allows SSH, SSL, HTTP HTTPS FTP FTPS and more. [03:05] very strong tool, very secure. Surprising for windows [03:05] I'm using Ubuntu 13.04, and none of the instructions I've found are up to date. Can someone tell me how to cuse Remote Desktop to connect from one computer to another within my home network? The computer I want to talk to is my headless webserver. [03:06] etfb: If it's both headless, and a server, why not just use ssh? [03:07] Welp. My iptables didn't save. Even after saving iptables using "sudo -i" [03:07] TheUsD, so you are not using ftp then? but ssh/scp/sftp i hope. [03:07] woa is me [03:07] whoa* [03:07] etfb: iptables-save > iptables.rules [03:07] earl1: Woe is you. === Cyberspacelurker is now known as Cyberspaceloa [03:07] Er, earl1 ^ [03:07] Corey, i tries that [03:08] This...sucks... [03:08] earl1: Sudo with a redirect doesn't do what you think it'll do. [03:08] It worked before…I don't get it [03:08] Dr_willis: if the user wants to use FTP they can, but yes, all types are supported. Its however they are most comfirtable with. [03:08] what iptables rules are you even needing to do [03:08] earl1: What was your exact command? [03:08] Corey: because I want to set up some stuff that can only be configured with a GUI. The server has a full installation of Ubuntu, it just doesn [03:08] sudo command > foo definatly is NOT correct. [03:08] 't have a monitor attached. [03:09] Dr_willis: It could be. :-) [03:09] Dr_willis: sudo iptables-save > ~/iptables.rules would work, for instance. [03:09] sudo iptables-save > /etc/iptables.rules/ [03:09] earl1: Yes, that will fail. [03:09] * rypervenche headdesks. [03:09] big fail.. as we said earlier [03:09] sudo iptables-save > /etc/iptables.rules [03:09] * [03:09] earl1: In addition to not redirecting to an actual file, you won't have write permissions in /etc/ [03:10] echo "foo" | sudo tee /root/somefile [03:10] is the 'correct' way [03:10] earl1: Yeah, that won't work. sudo iptables-save | sudo tee /etc/iptables.rules will. [03:10] yeppers.. [03:10] Oy. [03:10] Or cheat.

The script is supposed to spawn some children to listen on a port. The script works fine if I execute it from the command line. But, when I execute it by using "screen", it exits immediately without comment. Any ideas? [03:15] Waiting up to 60 more seconds for network configuration…. [03:15] hmmm [03:16] Dr_willis: is there anything I need to do in ubuntu to give my windows machine access? I see it in the networking field of win but no drives and etc are pulled from it [03:16] !samba [03:16] Samba is the way to cooperate with Windows environments. Links with more info: https://wiki.ubuntu.com/MountWindowsSharesPermanently and https://help.ubuntu.com/12.04/serverguide/C/windows-networking.html - Samba can be administered via the web with SWAT. [03:16] apb how are you calling the screen utility? [03:16] !vnc [03:16] VNC is a protocol for remote desktop. https://help.ubuntu.com/community/VNCOverSSH describes how to use it securely. It works best over fast connections, otherwise look at !FreeNX [03:16] install samba, set up some samba shares TheUsD , theres no default firewall rules to block samba, or ssh, or ftp === zz_megabitdragon is now known as megabitdragon [03:17] ^^ That's old and out of date. Also riddled with errors. [03:17] Dr_willis: samba was installed when installing server, but I do not know how to access samba and etc.. again I'm a two day old user on ubuntu [03:17] It didn't save my iptables [03:17] at all [03:18] I did gksudo samba, it asked for a password but after that it did nothing. [03:18] see the samba wiki guide mentioned above. theres also the 'samba-doc' package that has several books (in html format) on using samba [03:18] you DONT do 'gksudo samba' that dosent make sence [03:18] echoe_ I've tried a variety of ways... but the way I started with is: /usr/bin/screen -d -m -S ASTfastlog ./FastAGI_log.pl [03:18] samba is a service that runs at boot time. and shares whatever shares you have made. [03:18] right click on a folder in a users home.. select share.. make a guest share.. is one way to make a share [03:19] ohh, haha, thought samba was a program ;-p [03:19] samba is a service [03:19] thanks for the insight [03:19] what does it do? anything that may inadventently calse screen to close? [03:19] !info samba-doc [03:19] samba-doc (source: samba): Samba documentation. In component main, is optional. Version 2:3.6.9-1ubuntu1 (raring), package size 5615 kB, installed size 13734 kB [03:19] TheUsD: install WinMin on Ubuntu to use as a webGUI. It has samba admin page. It's useful for first time *nix users. [03:19] If I use scp with something like the following: scp remote1:blah.txt remote2:, it tries to connect to remote2 via remote1. Is it possible to scp locally temporarily/transparently and then push to remote2? [03:19] 'web gui front ends' are best used with extreme caution [03:20] echoe_: I don't know what might cause the screen to close??? [03:20] pryzrak: thanks [03:20] meLon: Uh... what? :-) [03:20] pryzrak: usefull tool! never heard of it [03:20] meLon: Oh, I see what you're saying. [03:20] best to learn how samba works.. and what its configs do. [03:20] exit, ctrl+a+d ... screens are oddly kinda fragile sometimes too. they must be treated like companion cubes [03:20] I used this before and it worked. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=E7rpCha1lTY . I had to add "iptables -A INPUT -i lo -j ACCEPT" to it. [03:20] !info winmin > lotuspsychje [03:21] meLon: Copy it down to you, then a second scp to the remote. [03:21] not sure what a companion cube is but... there is in fact an "exit" in the script. [03:21] Dr Willis: I agree. It is best to learn. However Webmin is good to learn with. [03:21] Yeah, trying to avoid that. I was hoping scp would have that built in or something Corey [03:21] 64 bit also [03:22] pryzrak, WEBMIN is definatly worth avoiding in UBUNTU [03:22] !webmin [03:22] webmin is no longer supported in Debian and Ubuntu. It is not compatible with the way that Ubuntu packages handle configuration files, and is likely to cause unexpected issues with your system. [03:22] but it spawns kids so.... not sure why that would kill the kids [03:22] meLon: Oh, it does. [03:22] right no wonder never heard of it lol [03:22] meLon: -3 is the option you want. [03:22] I'll watch the vid === raster is now known as Guest56624 [03:22] lotuspsychje, he spelt it wrong the first time. ;) [03:22] Dr Willis: I wouldn't use it either. I like no front ends. Less to worry about. [03:22] webmin is very vunreable [03:22] I did a raid1 earlier on two 2tb hdds and for some reason it partitioned only 800+gigs as the raid on both drives, any reason why? [03:23] meLon: Strange option name, but there's no fixing that I 'spose. [03:23] could it be the chunk size I set? I set 64 as chunk size [03:23] Thanks Corey. Exactly what I was looking for [03:23] meLon: No worries. man scp is enlightening reading. [03:23] Yeah, as soon as you said -3 I looked at the man and there it was. Normally I don't have such luck in man pages :\ [03:24] earl1: This tutorial teaches how to log into the root user...that's why you were not having any problems running the commands before. [03:24] is there a tweak for windows to have min/maximize buttons always ontop (instead of unity panel way)? [03:24] meLon: Yeah, my current list of "what to read on my next plane ride" is dig, mtr, and rsync. [03:24] earl1: Just type "sudo -i" before running any of those commands and you won't have any problems. [03:25] rsync is still so confusing. [03:25] Is anyone here really familiar with resolution changing? I need help. [03:25] sometimes being thrown into the deep end ruins comprehension x.x [03:25] But, ryper. I did... [03:25] !xrandr | BillJobs [03:25] BillJobs: XRandR 1.2 is the new method of running dual screens in !X. Information/HowTo here: http://wiki.debian.org/XStrikeForce/HowToRandR12 [03:25] ok i'm not sure the vid was meant for me>? lol [03:25] I tried what u guys told me to do [03:26] earl1: You were not root apparently. [03:26] g'day all - not entirely sure if this is the right place to ask, but here goes. I have a service running under upstart. I need to change some settings in /etc/security/limits.conf for a particular user. They work fine if i log in with a login shell, but it seems that upstart just runs setuid. Is there an approved way of getting PAM to run those for services? [03:26] after doing sudo -i, i reconfig'd [03:26] saved too [03:26] Can anybody check out the PS1 part of my .bashrc and help me figure out why root bash has problems when multiline or when I press up to scroll through bash history? The shell doesn't 'clear' as it is supposed to and there are artifacts and such http://pastie.org/private/aknstbtyeocw7dey1fh1pa [03:27] So... just FYI, if you're using deja-dup for your regular backup system, I'd seriously recommend checking your backups. [03:27] earl1: Possibly a typo somewhere. Using the tab key to auto-complete your filenames is always a good thing to do. [03:27] meLon: That's part of the reason I switched to zsh. [03:27] I just went to do a restore on a fresh install of my system, and my backups are screwed [03:27] FrozenFire: Define screwed. [03:27] They tend to either hang on a gpg error, or they take an infinite amount of time to actually restore. I've not yet been able to recover my data. [03:27] Is it possible to add a new resolution? Windows 8 somehow deleted the native resolution of my monitor and now, since I did a clean install of Ubuntu hoping it would fix the issue, it's still present. [03:27] I've only known MAC users to switch to zsh. As a debian/Ubuntu/linux user, you're finding it to work well, Corey ? [03:28] I'm going to try manually accessing the data using duplicity [03:28] But I'm not confident [03:28] meLon: My laptop is a Mac. My servers are a pile of different Linux distros. It works well for me. [03:28] meLon: I sync it all with vcsh + git. [03:28] Fortunately I made a separate pre-wipe backup of my dotfiles [03:28] Hi guys, I need to set ubuntu as a wireless server with access for a number of networked computers. Anyone know the easiest way to do this? newbe to the linux network [03:28] can never have enough backups. [03:28] FrozenFire: Yeah, this is why testing restores is key. [03:28] But I'm still losing a whole ton of important data if I can't get this recovered [03:29] ouch [03:29] Not that that helps you at this point. [03:29] donnelly: "Wireless server?" [03:29] yep [03:29] FrozenFire: you can use photorec, inside testdisk, the best recovery software ever [03:29] any ideas [03:29] lotuspsychje, Not an option [03:29] meLon: I think I know the problem you're talking about, I suffer the same whenver I've got a color shell prompt. [03:29] Given that I encrypt all filesystems [03:29] FrozenFire: What did you use to encrypt it? [03:29] I'll just have to try to pull the data out of my duplicity backups [03:30] donnelly: are you refering to Access Point? [03:30] I've messed around with xrandr but when it comes to the xorg.conf based configuration part, I'm totally lost. I'm starting to learn so I have no clue what I'm doing in there. [03:30] rypervenche, Doesn't *really* matter. The filesystem is already overwritten [03:30] FrozenFire: It DOES matter if you want your data back. [03:30] BillJobs: ask in channel howto add a res in xrandr [03:31] Nope. There's zero chance of recovery at this point, for the on-disk info. Recovering from the duplicity backups is still a possibility, since it's most likely just a software failure in deja-dup [03:31] I have files - mostly docs and media that I need to share. [03:31] wireless - yeas [03:31] I do actually get a fair number of recovered files out [03:31] It just hangs each time I try to restore [03:31] FrozenFire: any deja-dup errors? [03:31] FrozenFire: Well I feel you won't get much help from people here if you're not willing to help us help you. [03:32] How to add a res in xrandr? [03:32] Hey guys! I`m having a problem with my kxstudio here, when I try to upgrade or install nvidia-current I always get this message: errors were encountered while processing: nvidia-current [03:32] do u know what can I do [03:32] ? [03:32] rypervenche, To be honest, I'm not really looking for help. I'm just giving an FYI that people should check their deja-dup backups immediately [03:32] Since mine just failed fairly catastrophically. [03:32] I know what my options are in this case. ;) [03:33] Also, when referring to deja-dup, it should be clarified that I'm talking about the "Backup" utility in Ubuntu [03:33] FrozenFire: Apparently not. It is still possible to restore data from an encrypted partition, but it depends on the encryption and partition type that was used. [03:33] donnelly: do you have server or desktop? [03:33] rypervenche, It's not possible to recover overwritten data, though. ;) [03:33] It's fairly certain that the keys are overwritten at this point. [03:33] FrozenFire: photorec can recover data from for away times... [03:33] FrozenFire: Nope, but I would think you wouldn't lose all of your data. [03:34] I think I'm just going to re-install windows 8 and try to fix the resolution issue there. This feels a bit way too advanced for a newb to figure out. [03:34] I can say with certainty that it's not possible to recover from my old encrypted filesystem [03:34] I have a desktop that I have tried to set as a server - wireless. Internet access can be had through the wirless modem, file sharing is what I want to do. [03:34] It's already been overwritten quite completely. [03:34] echoe_: I commented out the exit in the script... made no difference. [03:34] BillJobs: keep asking in channel once in a while..its worth a wait [03:35] FrozenFire: Your loss then. We were willing to help. [03:35] BillJobs: did you clean install ubuntu? [03:35] No need to be passive aggressive. [03:35] mmmf. [03:35] I didn't ask for help. [03:35] I know how to do this in windows (not 7 or 8) but want to do this in linux [03:35] And I'm qualified to figure the recovery out myself. :P [03:35] pryzrak - thanks [03:35] !offtopic > FrozenFire [03:35] FrozenFire, please see my private message [03:36] I believe so [03:36] surfdaemon, It's not offtopic :) [03:36] Anyways, whatever. [03:36] FrozenFire: this is a support channel. [03:36] Yup [03:36] definitely didn't dual boot [03:36] "Deja-dup is broken" is me supporting the greater community by making that clear. [03:36] you can share folders by using samba or smb from desktop. However make sure you have your firewall on ur ubuntu box configured correctly. [03:36] Anybody could help me with nvidia problems [03:36] echoe_: Is there anyway to make screen more verbose as to what it's doing perhaps? [03:36] ? [03:37] isn't there a -v [03:37] ? [03:37] -v [03:37] BillJobs: http://www.ubuntugeek.com/how-change-display-resolution-settings-using-xrandr.html [03:37] you can always manually open it with screen -S name, then run it in screen manually and see if it works fine [03:38] ooh [03:38] apb1963, http://askubuntu.com/questions/62562/run-a-program-with-gnu-screen-and-immediately-detach-after [03:38] Dr_willis: you said I could just right-click and share folder, what about an entire HDD? [03:38] deezed, Nvidia is always a problem. Keep it simple [03:38] I think you're looking for screen -S [name] -d -m ./[name] [03:39] -v gives version. I open using "screen", and run it.. works fine. Doesn't exit. [03:39] Dr_willis: Hm, what do you think about the advice here, comment #11: http://www.linuxquestions.org/questions/linux-hardware-18/size-in-superblock-is-different-from-the-physical-size-of-the-partition-298175/ [03:39] No, what you really want is -dURS `screen -dURS SCREENNAME` [03:39] [20:18] echoe_ I've tried a variety of ways... but the way I started with is: /usr/bin/screen -d -m -S ASTfastlog ./FastAGI_log.pl [03:39] any ideas - [03:40] That will resume, detach resume, or create your screen :D [03:40] donnelly: I know, I just need to set mine. `Cause I always get the message errors were encountered while processing nvidia-current [03:40] Dr_willis: Basically suggesting: resize2fs /dev/whatever thesizethatsuperblockthinksitis [03:40] puff, that sounds like what gparted does as its a frontend to the backend cli tools. [03:41] Dr_willis: Not sure how to ask gparted to do that... I tried right-click Check, nothing happened. [03:41] puff, when you resize a partion thats what it does.. you DO have the partions Unmounted? [03:41] resize it and shrink it down a little bit [03:41] I guess Partition/Resize? [03:42] Yeah, the partition is unmounted. [03:42] Okay, so resize it even smaller? [03:42] or bigger.. see if it gets the correct # [03:42] meLon: that's confusing... are you saying to execute as-is and then execute my script inside the screen that's created? [03:42] It's been a while, but I tried to "upgrade" and all I managed to do was make the graphics worse. I run an older p4 with nvidia and use the default ubuntu settings. Upgrading is not use - if you (?) have an older card. === gwinbeee is now known as gwinbee [03:43] i thought it maybe was the order of the flags for some reason. /watches. [03:43] donnelly: uhm, maybe can be that. In this case, do u know how can I downgrade? [03:44] `screen -dURS ttytter -c /home/meLon/.screenrc.ttytter` apb1963 .screenrc.ttytter: http://pastie.org/private/qsutncjzivvpweqkuyg9tw [03:45] apb1963: TBH I have no idea what you're trying to accomplish and only saw half of your messages. This will create or restore your screen, whichever it needs to do. [03:45] Dr_willis: Hm, it said an error occurred, see the details. The details said "calibrate /dev/sda7" and "check file system on /dev/sda7 for errors and (if possible) fix them>' [03:46] puff, 'fsck' the filesystem . may be all it needs [03:46] Which is pretty much the same thing as I got when I did right-click check, apply operations. [03:46] gparted might be able do do that.. or 'sudo fsck /dev/sda7' [03:46] deezed: I did it through synaptic, but you may have to go to the Nvidia website or a secondary source. Like I said it's been a while -- there are a lot of sources for help, but you have to know what model card your working with. I assume you know this. [03:46] Okay, I'll try that. [03:46] meLon: I'm trying to use the "screen" utility to run a script. The script is supposed to spawn some children to listen on a port. The script works fine if I execute it from the command line. But, when I execute it by using "screen", it exits immediately without comment. [03:47] Okay, the first thing that fsck does is give me the superblock/physical size mis-match warning and prompt me to abort. [03:47] I assume "no"? [03:47] meLon: I've tried a variety of ways... but the way I started with is: /usr/bin/screen -d -m -S ASTfastlog ./FastAGI_log.pl [03:47] you got imporntant stuff backed up i hope? [03:47] apb1963: So I'd use the command I've suggested and customize the screenrc file to launch your program [03:47] Dr_willis: Yeah. [03:48] go for it then. ;) [03:48] Well okay then... [03:48] or just delete the partions, remake, restore from bvackups.. [03:48] I think it might display the output in the screen session. [03:48] Hm, it ran, did some stuff, no obvious results. [03:48] meLon: TBH I don't understand what you've got going on there in your example. [03:49] You'll see at the bottom of the pastie to which I linked the part you'll want to modify (screen -t...). Anything above that are just personal options I prefer, so you can delete them. Let me know if you get it running using a screenrc file [03:49] So, at the bottom you'll want to do: screen -t "Title of screen" 0 /path/to/ASTfastlog ./FastAGI_log.pl [03:49] echoe_: I'm not sure to what your comment refers? [03:50] http://paste.ubuntu.com/5705641/ [03:50] donnelly: no, maybe I dont know which one is better for me. I`m using an Ubuntu 12.04 and a Nvidia 304.88. But I dont know which version I should have take. Do u know how can I check it [03:50] hello i'm trying to install Ubuntu onto the /dev/sda5 nstf, and when i click install now, it shows a window that says: "No root file system is defined. Please correct this from the partitioning menu" [03:50] ? [03:50] apb1963, I made a dumb testscript and am running it in my virtualbox instance and i think the screen command runs it in the screen instance which it then closes. [03:51] Debomb72: When u try to install it, just choose the mount point. [03:51] Debomb72: u mean ntfs? [03:51] Deezed: checking something .... [03:51] tet [03:51] *test [03:51] donnelly: ok [03:51] hello everyone. have a question concerning fsck [03:51] rmobenchain: Just ask and we'll see what we can do [03:51] eg if I run my testscript that does echo testscript, it shows it to me, and if I run it with the screen command, it shows nothing, but if I touch testfile it touches the testfile. === mayday is now known as Guest6988 [03:52] loganlee_: yes i meant to say ntfs, sorry about the typo [03:52] echoe_ Yes perhaps, but the -d command detaches it... and so in the case of a port listener, it continues to run and you should be able to reattach with -r [03:52] have you looked for the open screens? [03:52] yes [03:52] they're not there [03:52] or they just don't ... weeeeird [03:52] yeah [03:52] welcome to my world :) [03:52] meleon: ran the following command in terminal, "sudo fsck -y /dev/sdf1" and at the end of the message got this back, " Not automatically fixing this. /dev/sdf1: 261 files, 208358/471902 clusters" What does this mean? [03:52] yeah it's something in the script exiting it somehow, my test stuff is still open [03:53] Debomb72: u got it? [03:53] -dURS are the flags you want if you want it to: Detach the screen if it's attached, Resume the screen if it exists, or create the screen if it does not exist [03:54] Deezed: you probably have this - but - have you looked at this? http://www.nvidia.com/object/linux-display-ia32-304.88-driver.html === Cyberspaceloa is now known as Cyberspacelurker [03:54] Does anyone know how htaccess and htpasswd files are encrypted? [03:55] they are not encrypted i think [03:55] loganlee_: Yeah, htpasswd files contain an encrypted password. [03:55] ook [03:56] meLon: Those flags do indeed create a new screen... and that's all it does. No output from the script. The second time I run it, it terminates immediately. screen -list shows nothing. [03:56] donnelly: yes, probably! But what do u mean looked at this? [03:56] Can you show me the entire line you're entering, apb1963 ? [03:56] The link - http://www.nvidia.com/object/linux-display-ia32-304.88-driver.html [03:56] loganlee_: I setup auth sec on phpmyadmin (.htpasswd) and when I open it it's encrypted. Im just curious how this is done. I'm on my local machine and would like to play around with it. [03:56] konectd: oic i dunno ;) [03:56] meLon: but wait.... I have children on my ports [03:57] loganlee_: mcrypt will encrypt a password properly for .htpasswd. [03:57] deeezed: this gives you a run file for the driver [03:57] oic [03:57] meLon: /usr/bin/screen -dURS ASTfastlog ./FastAGI_log.pl --debug [03:57] donnelly: yes but the problem is, I can not run my ubuntu distro here [03:57] deezed see if it fits your card, i think if its legacy 304 is a good bet imho [03:57] donnelly: [03:57] loganlee_: puff: I've been looking through apache doc's but not much on sec.. [03:57] donnelly: Im doing a chroot from a live cd [03:58] Apache uses MD5 or SHA1 for passwords [03:58] meLon: I'll look into that, thanks! [03:58] -U Run screen in UTF-8 mode. [03:59] konectd: http://www.mindbend.org/techblog/htaccess/Guide-to-understanding-and-using-htaccess-effectively [03:59] deezed: A, a fresh installation - Ubuntu 12.04 - [03:59] screen -dURS ASTfastlog bash -c 'perl /full/path/to/FastAGI_log.pl' [03:59] donnelly: haha Yes I`m really considering this [03:59] puff: Awesome! Thanks for the link!! [03:59] Anybody know how to fix a bad partition resizing where the physical size ends up being not the same as the superblock? [04:00] Deezed: don't suppose you looked at a Ubuntu variant - OZ? [04:00] puff: [04:00] Ext 4? [04:00] donnelly: actually im using a variant already, for recording, called kxstudio [04:00] meLon: did you notice when I mentioned that I now have children listening on my ports? [04:01] I think I may have missed a post concerning my issue [04:01] konectd: Yes. [04:01] I'm waiting around as you've said you've got something going on, yes apb1963 [04:02] so the -dR combo is what seemed to work... but I'm trying to make sense of it.... I have other scripts that work with -dm [04:02] konectd: paste.ubuntu.com/5705366/ [04:02] and to be honest, this used to work until I started messing with the script [04:02] I think there must be something in the script like echoe_ was saying [04:02] Deezed: Gotta look at that one - I use OZ b/c it has all the "bells and whistles" and comes ready to burn, share and do what I want for data, audio and video. The version on this computer is 10.04 and the version on my usual laptop is 12.04. [04:03] but it just doesn't make sense === Fritz_The_Cat is now known as JKL1234- [04:04] however... what echoe_ said earlier gives me an idea.... I'll open a screen, and then debug the script... and see at exactly what point it exits [04:04] back in a few [04:04] hi, i'm trying to get an ipw2200 driver to work with an wep network... i keep getting "Firmware error detected. Restarting" [04:04] donnelly: Uhmmm, it sounds interesting! I`m gonna check it out! [04:04] donnelly: thanks! [04:04] but just to make sure it gets said... thank you both! [04:04] ran the following command in terminal, "sudo fsck -y /dev/sdf1" and at the end of the message got this back, " Not automatically fixing this. /dev/sdf1: 261 files, 208358/471902 clusters" What does this mean? [04:05] Deezed: But back to your install, your going to have to take the plunge and try one of the options. If it does not work - try a new install and choose a different option If you have info on your computer, and dont want to loose it, then don;t format the drive and simply do a system overright. [04:05] puff: http://linuxexpresso.wordpress.com/2010/03/31/repair-a-broken-ext4-superblock-in-ubuntu/ [04:05] puff: parted magic.. ? [04:06] donnelly: uhm, so if I dont format it, couldnt I have the same errors? [04:06] Parted Magic is a live distribution of linux you can install with the *latest* version of unetbootin onto a thumb drive. It is great for fixing HDD issues konectd [04:06] hello, i was wondering if it was possible to cluster multiple AMD 8350's and if so how would one do this? [04:06] You *must* get the latest version of unetbootin in order for it to work with parted magic [04:07] bradley: Like a Beowulf Cluster? [04:07] cpu cluster [04:07] Yeah, you probably want to look into Beowulf Clustering [04:07] ok [04:08] At least that will give you something to start your journey. I hear newer kernels are supposed to start supporting CPU load balancing over LAN, but I haven't seen anything come out just yet [04:08] konectd: Thanks. [04:08] this looks insane, im gonna try and build a 32 core overkill machine(s) [04:09] konectd: Reading that now. [04:09] ok that was a pointless exercise... the parent exits.... just like it's supposed to. [04:09] Deezed: If your drive is error free, no. As for the system overright, no. I have done this a number of times. Just be careful to install, but not format. You will have to chose the drive format, so choose the for mat you had before. [04:09] bradley: You may be intersted in this: http://hackaday.com/2013/05/21/33-node-beowulf-cluster-built-with-raspberry-pi/ [04:09] Deezed: http://www.nvidia.com/object/linux-display-ia32-304.88-driver.html [04:09] a big problem, libreoffice4 crashes when i click the menubar everytime [04:10] now the connecting cable, crossover cable or ethernet if i wanted to directly connect two computers [04:10] donnelly: ok! I`ll try it [04:10] ? [04:10] deezed: https://www.ultimateeditionoz.com/download [04:11] <|Anthony|> i'm having issues getting putty to connect to openssh. I've created the rsa key pair server side, given the private key to the putty client and converted it to openssh format, but the connection still fails [04:11] <|Anthony|> any thoughts [04:11] deezed: If your doing it now, write back what you see if you have questions [04:11] What are you asking, bradley? If you connect two machines with ethernet without a switch, you need crossover. If you use a switch, you do not need crossover. Some new NICs will auto-crossover for you [04:11] ok [04:11] im using xubuntu, 13.04. installed fine. installed enlightenment and lost wireless networking [04:12] donnelly: ok! but I think I`ll not do it now. It will take some time, and I need to sleep.. lol [04:12] secret_ninja: I've always prefered wicd to manage my wireless [04:12] any ideas??? [04:12] when i do ifconfig wlan0 it doesn't even see wlan0. [04:12] wait i thought there was a physical cross over cable [04:12] deezed: yeah, I should hit the sak too - late here in FL [04:12] donnelly, where is fl? [04:13] Deezed: good luck [04:13] where IN fl? [04:13] donnelly: hehe Thanks a lot man! [04:13] konectd: Hm, okay, that's informative, but my problem is because I resized the partition, so I can't simply restore from a backup superblock. [04:13] grr [04:13] FL - Bradenton, Florida [04:13] secret_ninja: Not all wireless nic's will show up as wlan0. Do you see your nic when you do `sudo ifconfig -a` [04:13] Bye [04:14] puff: Hmm, how about recovering data on the partition that wrote over, then just re-install? Is that an option? [04:14] melon: no. [04:14] bradley: Yes, you can build a crossover cable. It's just two pins different than a normal cable if I'm not mistaken [04:14] secret_ninja: Do you know what kind of wireless card you have? Is it atheros? [04:14] yes. atheros [04:14] konectd: Not really feasible, it's a large partition and I filled up my backup drive, backing up the other partitions. [04:15] secret_ninja: You don't see an ath0? [04:15] meLon: Two pin switched, IIRC. [04:15] I sent out a tweet - on repairing ext4 superblocks - it's already got some retweets and favs. If I hear back anything I will let you know. [04:15] melon: it shows as wlan0, but no, i dont see ath0 either.. [04:15] puff: Read above post.. [04:16] are there any other ubuntu help rooms? [04:16] meLon how? [04:16] konectd: You mean this one? http://linuxexpresso.wordpress.com/2010/03/31/repair-a-broken-ext4-superblock-in-ubuntu/ [04:16] secret_ninja: `sudo lshw -class network` Do you see it there? [04:16] melon: *used* to show as wlan0. shows as wlan0 in this installation. [04:16] rmobenchain: run it without the -y [04:16] bradley: You have crimpers? http://www.archonmagnus.com/mods/crossOverCable/crossOverCableDiagram2.jpg [04:16] then it will let you decide if you want to repair it or not [04:17] melon: im in a different boot partition right now.. no network when i boot to that one.. [04:17] ok. thank you apb1963 [04:17] rmobenchain: be warned... you may lose files [04:17] if you say yes to repairing it [04:17] :D thanks [04:17] no the tweet one [04:17] urgh!!! [04:17] puff: No, the tweet one.. [04:17] secret_ninja: I'm not really sure what your problem is. All I can suggest is using something like wicd to manage wireless. It's solved so many problems for me. `sudo apt-get install wicd wicd-gtk wicd-curses` [04:18] konectd: Ah, how would I find that tweet? [04:18] apb1963: at this point in time, I just want to be able to install ubuntu. am using the LIVE CD and keep getting "input/output error read on /dev/sdaf" messages during install [04:18] hi [04:19] how can i install i2p ? [04:20] rmobenchain: Not sure. Possibly a hardware problem? Sorry, it's been too long since i messed with that. [04:20] you could try googling it [04:20] apb1963: I'm given a couple of options now. 1) Copy original to backup 2) Copy backup to original 3) No action. Which do I want to do? [04:21] sorry... no idea [04:22] apb1963: could I somehow create a new parttion which doesn't have bad sectors, and install ubuntu there? [04:22] anything is possyboo :) [04:22] I'm a newb here and grasping at straws [04:23] try it... the worst that happens is you have to reinstall it again [04:23] Anyone on twitter? [04:24] i'm sure that's how most of us learned... trying options and seeing what happens [04:24] apb1963: will try it. I do think the hard drive failure is possible too. Am also trying to figure out whether I have an IDE or a SATA drive. Hav a few friends who say they have both types laying around at home [04:25] SATA connector is smaller [04:26] but /dev/sdaf .... that doesn't sound like ide... but then I don't know ubuntu that well... google it!

[05:05] bootboot [05:05] new install, win 8 dual boot..hp 2000 machine...boot with uefi selection of hard disk boot sector [05:06] duderguy: The UEFI is the problem. [05:07] duderguy: Go into BIOS and change the UEFI to compatibility mode then re-install. [05:07] ugh [05:07] -_- [05:07] that gives me the creeps [05:08] konectd: I'm working on a Dell Latitude D630. Too old for EFI. [05:08] duderguy: If not compatibility then you will have a Legacy option, Legacy is what you want to look for. [05:08] konectd: on Wednesday, I get a ThinkPad W530. I'm sure that thing will have EFI. I can't just pull the drive from this laptop and have it work in there, can I? [05:09] I dread the thought of having to reinstall and reconfigure everything on here... I have this thing just so. [05:09] when i first tried installing ubuntu it was via unetbootin flash drive [05:09] it got as far as installing the OS option on my OS loader [05:10] (cant remember the name of the OS app) [05:10] then it wouldnt load [05:10] so i reinstalled with a livedvd [05:10] duderguy: You will run into conflicts with the Win boot loader if you don't correct this. Also, you will run into problems with the recovery drive because of the dual boot. [05:11] not sure what i did wrong with the opensuse install...probably assigning boot partitions correctly [05:11] SuperLag: YOu can try pulling the drive.. I would image it then - turn on legacy - then install the image [05:11] SuperLag: [05:12] Are you looking to dual-boot with Win? [05:12] me? [05:12] no [05:12] just Linux [05:12] anything else will be run from a VMware Workstation VM [05:13] SuperLag: Then I would image it. [05:13] What drive am I imaging? the current Linux drive? [05:13] SuperLag: I think if you swapped drives because of the all the Lenovo stuff.. mainly drivers you may run into more problems then it would be worth,IMO. [05:13] like what? [05:14] SuperLag: Yea, the linux machine that you don't want to re-install [05:14] SUperla [05:14] the kernel is very modular, right? [05:14] so... what issues would I have? [05:14] SuperLag: Then you fresh install with that image. [05:14] the only issue I foresee, is maybe the video [05:14] SuperLag: Driver issues with the lenovo hardware. [05:14] Hi guys, just wondering how I can configure my ubuntu vm to automatically append a hostname onto a lookup, for example I want to run "ping server1" and get results for "server1.example.com" [05:14] Probably, wifi, eth0, video.. [05:15] konectd: Why would there be issues with a *very* modular kernel? [05:15] aden_: That should have been configured automatically when you built the VM. [05:15] konectd: the kernel will just load the modules it needs for the devices it finds [05:15] SuperLag: What os are you running? [05:15] Xubuntu 13.04 [05:16] SuperLag: Then your fine. [05:16] konectd, is there a way to configure this after the fact? [05:16] SuperLag: I thought you had said you were on Fedora.. someone else.. [05:16] Nope. :) [05:16] aden_: Yea, via Terminal [05:16] konectd: I've had enough of RPMs to last me a lifetime. :D [05:17] Google search your OS ver and how to change hostname file via VIM [05:17] Hi [05:17] aden_: or nano, or gedit, whatev's..

Make sure that your current hostname and /etc/hosts match, otherwise sudo may not work properly. [05:17] is there a way to restart ssh session on gnome-terminal whenever the network gets disconnected? [05:17] aden_: ubottu nailed it. [05:18] kaushal, learn to use screen when you ssh into a system [05:18] Dr_willis: I am on my local system [05:18] kaushal, and if ssh disconnects.. you ssh back in.. and resume the screen session [05:19] screen++ [05:19] Dr_willis: yeah i know it [05:19] or tmux even [05:19] but they're both indispensible!! [05:19] Dr_willis: but i again have to reconnect using ssh user@IP [05:19] okay, I'm not looking to change the hostname of my ubuntu install though, I just want to set up a domain that will automatically be added to an incomplete hostname.. if that makes sense ^^' [05:19] any auto ssh method once the network is up [05:19] is that still done via the hostname command? [05:21] kaushal: you could use screen [05:21] ;) [05:21] putty ? ;) [05:21] kaushal: and there is a persistent connection option [05:21] my win8 boots normally through my bootloader [05:22] i have to go to advanced uefi options and select the partition where ubuntu is and it loads [05:23] but you're saying im running into issues because of this? [05:23] duderguy: yea [05:24] duderguy: You want legacy mode if dual booting with Win8 [05:24] konectd: he can use efi [05:24] duderguy: What version of ubuntu did you install? [05:25] 13.something === mike is now known as Guest96357 [05:25] duderguy: 64bit or 32bit? [05:25] 64 [05:25] !uefi | duderguy [05:25] duderguy: UEFI is a specification that defines a software interface between an operating system and platform firmware, it is meant as a replacement for the BIOS. For information on how to set up and install Ubuntu and its derivatives on UEFI machines please read https://help.ubuntu.com/community/UEFI [05:26] histo: apologies was away [05:26] screen with persistent connection? [05:26] histo: let me understand [05:26] konectd: sorry to be a pain, I just wanted to mention that I'm not looking to change the hostname of the vm I'm working on, but just how it does hostname lookups.. have I misunderstood, or is this indeed done via the hostname command? [05:26] ty for link [05:26] I install screen on my laptop and then i am on screen ssh username@remoteIP [05:26] and then the network goes down [05:27] and then? [05:27] kaushal: on the server use screen. So you can reattach after network goes down or from another box [05:27] you will need screen running on the box you are sshed into. [05:28] ok [05:28] aden_: Are you talking about the nslookup command? [05:29] aden_: You would need your own dns or use winbind service [05:29] so on the laptop I always need to do ssh username@remoteIP? [05:29] there is no other way? [05:29] its a 2 part setup kaushal ... [05:29] ssh to the server. run screen on the server.. that lets you resume the sesssion IF you get disconected. [05:29] Dr_willis: yeah i understood on the remote server I am already using screen [05:29] aden for most commands, if you are unsure, type 'man hostname' in a terminal [05:30] aden_: nslookup will give you everything on your local, even though you're in a vm because it's using the hardwares network adapter. [05:30] kaushal: yes you reconnect. You could set something up in your .bashrc to check if you aren't connected to connect but that would be troublesome. There are also keepalive settings on the client and server. Are you using this for a tunnel or something? [05:30] then you setup whatever client to auto-reconnect (rereun ssh whatever) to get back to the screen session [05:30] konectd: I wanted this to be usable with any command, so I would run "ping server1" and get ping results for "server1.example.com" [05:31] konectd: or "host server1" and have the IP of "server1.example.com" returned [05:32] aden_: so add the machiens to your /etc/hosts file is the easiest way [05:32] aden_: just create entries ip.address.of.box hostname [05:32] konectd: so pretty much setting a hostname to append onto incomplete hostname lookups [05:32] aah I see, there's no way to do this on the fly? [05:33] aden_: I've told you create your own dns or use winbind [05:33] aden_: resolveip [05:33] aden_: depends on yoru network and what type of boxes are there. [05:33] so.. resolveip localhost [05:34] aden_: or resolveip hostname, also you could use dig +short unix.hostname.com [05:36] histo: its fine [05:37] then [05:37] aden_: also try "host www.google.com" where google.com is your host. [05:37] histo: tmux will that solve? [05:37] do you guys know what other is under file permissions? [05:37] kaushal: same thing tmux vs screen [05:37] moses_: world [05:38] histo: good [05:38] histo: so actually no escape to type ssh username@remoteserverIP on gnome-terminal? [05:38] moses_: anyone that isn't in the user or group [05:38] kaushal: you could write a script like "remote" or something that does the command for you then you just type remote [05:38] Hello guys I need your help I can't open any application in ubuntu 10.04 I was tryed to upgrade 10.04 to 12.04 [05:39] histo: ok [05:39] kaushal: it's your box there unlimitted ways you can configure it. [05:39] George: Have you tried re-installking the upgrade? [05:39] histo: so any example? [05:39] konectd: I'm trying to set up a domain to automatically be appended to host lookups, so say my domain is google.com, I want to be able to run the command "host rarara" and have the results say "rarara.google.com has address 74.125.237.105" [05:39] Привет! [05:39] how can I install boinc_7.0.65_i686-pc-linux-gnu.sh in Ubuntu 12.04 desktop? [05:39] aden [05:40] yap it can't continue the upgradation [05:40] jony_easyrider, its a .sh file.. you run it. 'sh whatever.sh' [05:40] aden_: The last command I gave you does exactly that..

[05:41] thanks konectd :) [05:41] George: DO you have a backup of the origil 10.04 that you tried upgrading? [05:41] no but i have only CD for ubuntu 10.04 [05:41] Dr_willis, in the repo readme tells me that I should use the package on their website [05:42] jony_easyrider, if you need the latest.. but that wont get any support from this channel [05:42] George: You're probably going to have to do a fresh install. I would fresh install using a flashdrve using Unetbootin, install 13.04 or 12.04 LTS. [05:42] George: You have tried reboting for the hell of it, right? [05:43] George: *rebooting [05:43] ok thank you [05:44] kaushal: Once your are done sudo cp remote1 /usr/local/bin then you can type remote1 from anywhere and it will run your command. === SuBmUnDo is now known as Guest81048 [05:46] hello [05:48] hola === guest713 is now known as guest7131 [05:51] hi every one [05:51] i have a problem [05:52] !ask | feria90 [05:52] feria90: Please don't ask to ask a question, simply ask the question (all on ONE line and in the channel, so that others can read and follow it easily).

[06:24] question how come other doesnt get write automatically when i make a new folder what preset is this? [06:24] moses_: you could have chmod 777 to get rwxrwxrwx or use the ugo+rwx It's up to you. You can man chmod and read about using the numbers instead if you want. [06:24] histo: I know; hence siezing the oppertunity to finally install the latest LTS. Problem is, there is nothing I can find about setting up RAID on versions newer than my existing 9.10, the docs are years out of date [06:24] histo: why do you recommend chmod777 [06:24] thats never a real solution [06:24] ak5: It's what he asked for.

I mean, when I run the suspension, after the restore there are problems. The first of which is that the Chromium browser will no longer open (but it also does with Chrome) and if you launch it from the terminal, an error is returned [06:28] moses_: this is a good read https://help.ubuntu.com/community/FilePermissions [06:28] Also, when I try to logout or reboot the pc freezes, meaning that when I try to restart, the screen goes black and hangs there indefinitely (in the case of the log, it appears the shell with the messages, but it hangs too) and I have to brutally shut down the pc [06:29] I tried several solutions, from uswsusp to tuxonice, to create a special file in /etc/pm/config.d/, but these attempts have not been successful. I also checked the syslog, but also did not provide significant information about the origin of the problem [06:29] Any ideas? [06:29] other then stop using suspend because its flakey.. ;) i imagine.. [06:29] moses_: also using the letters a+rwx would be less typing then ugo [06:29] moses_: it says in the man page you can use octal [06:30] Any ideas about the current state of RAID support? Or am I just gonna have to wing it tomorrow morning and hope the process hasn't changed in 4-8 years? >_> [06:30] raid_: why kind of raid hardware or software based? [06:30] Software [06:30] Dr_willis, flakey? [06:31] cristian_c, dosent seem it works very well [06:32] i imagine some hardware drivers are crashing and causing all the other issues. [06:32] its Possible a newer kernel may fix some things [06:33] when i chmod the directory any new files that are made in the directory still down allow o+w [06:33] i am bad [06:33] moses_: umask [06:33] i will man that [06:33] Dr_willis, there have been many updates of the kernel in my release in these months [06:34] Dr_willis, I'll try to get info about driver problems [06:34] :) [06:35] moses_: umask gets co9nfusing because it is backwards from chmod [06:35] moses_: http://askubuntu.com/questions/44534/how-to-set-umask-for-a-specific-folder [06:36] moses_: just make sure o-rwx on the directory then no one but your user and group can get in there. [06:37] I am just playing right now [06:38] currently there will be a group that SSH into this comp and uses the code [06:38] i just dont want any problems [06:38] cristian_c, theres the 3.9 mainstream kernel ppas also.

[06:43] moses_: just be careful with ssh if you are opening it up to the public I recommend installing fail2ban and possibly changing the default port.

Running Ubuntu 12.10 64-bit [10:17] I need a free font which has symbols [10:17] SarcasticGoats, input? are you sure it is related? graphic cards are "output" devices, not input ones. [10:17] It worked before I installed the fglrx proprietary drivers [10:17] I've had to go through the same procedure a lot of times with the same result. [10:18] I found this guide to change a line in the GRUB menu but that didn't work [10:18] SarcasticGoats, If I were you I'd check /etc/X11/xorg.conf and /var/log/Xorg.0.log [10:19] probably the last one will give you clues about what's failing and why [10:19] I can't get into the desktop though [10:19] SarcasticGoats, from the terminal, you can access the terminal, can't you? [10:19] SarcasticGoats, you are in the console now? [10:19] No [10:20] I'm on my windows partition atm [10:20] SarcasticGoats, CTRL+ALT+F1 even? [10:20] You've load windows? [10:20] ohh [10:20] I had windows originally, I freed some space for a partition [10:20] and successfully installed ubuntu on it [10:21] If you try to load ubuntu, what happens? [10:21] however I'm trying to install the AMD Drivers and it never seems to work, it just goes to input not supported - HOWEVER I can hear the logon sound [10:21] Floogy, I go to grub, go onto Ubuntu. Purple grub screen for a few seconds and then 'Input Not Supported' [10:22] !nomodeset | SarcasticGoats [10:22] SarcasticGoats: A common kernel (boot)parameter is nomodeset, which is needed for some graphic cards that otherwise boot into a black screen or show corrupted splash screen. See http://ubuntuforums.org/showthread.php?t=1613132 on how to use this parameter [10:22] SarcasticGoats, Please try ALT+CTRL+F2 like ezra-s suggested [10:22] SarcasticGoats, hearing the logon sound but not seeing anything, sounds like monitor can't display resolution [10:22] I was thinking that too ezra [10:23] Ok, I guess that won't switch you into a console logon that the screen will display. [10:23] There's a line in GRUB which is like GFXMODE 640X480 and a guide told me to remove the # [10:23] SarcasticGoats, your best bet is checking the log under console [10:23] SarcasticGoats, but thats for console, it has nothing to do with Xorg drivers and you want to go into desktop [10:23] Should I try the nomodeset thing then? [10:24] unless there is some framebuffer driver that is conflicting with the xorg driver [10:24] SarcasticGoats, try the kernel boot parameter nomodeset on the edited grub kernel line like hurdvm suggested [10:24] SarcasticGoats: it is worth a go [10:24] OK [10:24] Hang on [10:24] I'm just going to log onto the irc on my laptop [10:27] Going to try to boot into nomodeset [10:28] No, Input Not Supported still [10:28] does the nomodeset go with a space? [10:28] the linux /boot line ended in ff so i typed ff nomodeset. Do I leave out the space? [10:29] what are the nvidia drivers like in ubuntu 64 bit now? [10:30] wildc4rd: They work well for me. Can't say more than that! === Dat_ is now known as Dat [10:30] Left out the space, see if that works [10:30] cool, need to allocate more ram to java as modded minecraft eats it... === harry is now known as Guest24181 [10:31] Nope, it still says 'Input Not supported'. [10:31] Does anyone know what's gone wrong? [10:33] ezra-s do you have any idea what I could do? [10:34] SarcasticGoats, can you try to omit the splash quiet in the boot line and try again? [10:34] ok === Dat_ is now known as Dat [10:35] Is that in the GRUB edit thing again? [10:35] Found it I'll see if this works [10:35] perhaps also some parts whose defining the resolution. [10:36] floogy [10:36] It doesnt work [10:36] Floogy I'm not sure what to edit exactly === BTCOxygen is now known as Guest2488 === BTCOxygen|1 is now known as BTCOxygen [10:37] you can see what's behind the scenes in the splash screen once it is booting by hitting Esc I recall [10:38] Ezra, when do I press Esc?

[10:42] after selecting ubuntu ? [10:43] why does "sudo vgcreate myvg0 /dev/sdk1" give me "Unable to add physical volume '/dev/sdk1' to volume group 'myvg0'."? is it because it's actually a USB device? [10:43] What did pressing ESC and the console switch while booting? Yes after selecting and pressing ENTER and waiting for a while... [10:44] Or is ther still the odd 'no signal' on screen message of the screen? You should omit quiet splash and fill in nomodeset. [10:44] the ESC key [10:45] That brought up some lines of code with some sort of AMD error but I couldn't read it as it was too fast [10:45] I couldn't get the console up [10:45] I'll see if I can read the esc things [10:46] Can you switch back to the white message lines on the black screen? [10:46] You might try to press break [10:46] or Shift+arrow up [10:47] it's a few lines and then goes to not supported error [10:47] pressing break again will continue booting [10:47] Can you paste the whole error? === IPfreely is now known as Guest54009 [10:48] i'll see === Dat_ is now known as Dat [10:48] [ 10.506297[ sp5100_tco: mmio address 0xfec000f0 already in use [10:48] You may can try to solve the issue later by booting into the live system of the desktop dvd [10:49] microcode: failed to load file amd-ucode/microcode_amd_fam15h.bin [10:49] Does that hang there? [10:49] no [10:49] that line appears 6 times [10:49] it comes on screen for a second or two [10:49] ok, so it might bring up the console logon. [10:49] and then goes to input not supported [10:50] Hmm searching that error that seems to be the CPU? [10:50] It's an AMD FX-6100 [10:51] Ah, I see.

[11:29] The monitor shows grub [11:29] I select ubuntu [11:29] a few seconds of grub purple screen then input not supported [11:29] SarcasticGoats: Then the problem is almost certainly "nomodeset" [11:29] I've already put in nomodeset [11:29] Which do you recommend I do? The root shell method or live cd? [11:30] OK, you're goign to have to fiddle with xorg then ... do it whichever way you are most comfortable with [11:30] But i would double check you have nomodeset as it's very common and has exactly the symptoms you describe [11:30] I'll use live cd [11:31] SarcasticGoats: how did you enable the nomodeset kernel parameter [11:31] histo, I used live cd to edit the grub.conf file [11:32] SarcasticGoats: did you sudo update-grub after editing? [11:32] that didnt work [11:32] I used something else I think [11:32] SarcasticGoats: well then you aren't using nomodeset [11:32] If I go to GRUB, press e, the 'nomodeset' thing is there [11:32] SarcasticGoats: press e on the grub screen to edit the selected kernel line and just append it manually [11:32] SarcasticGoats: you don't need a livecd to do nomodeset [11:32] uhh yea you have to edit /etc/default/grub and then run `sudo update-grub` [11:33] mdfe, sudo update-grub came with an error [11:33] mdfe: not to test it out, just do what histo just said then when you're booted you can edit the file [11:33] and there is no xorg.conf file [11:33] it;s just plain [11:34] SarcasticGoats: xorg.conf is used by default, but if you make one it will be obeyed [11:34] SarcasticGoats: You don't typically need an xorg.conf [11:34] !xorgconf | SarcasticGoats [11:34] SarcasticGoats: The /etc/X11/xorg.conf file is deprecated, but sometimes may still be needed to pass values to specific drivers.

If the open source drivers for my HD 5450 leave me stuck in 1024*768 and the proprietary drivers don't work, what can I do? [12:16] I ran into a suggestion to use "amd64-microcode" to help speed up things, however attempting to install this wants to remove packages "linux-generic" and other kernel packages, why? [12:18] any good game for ubuntu === tvoss|lunch is now known as tvoss [12:20] ro9, depends on what you consider as "good" [12:20] ro9, yes. go to the software center and look for games. choose and enjoy. === dziegler_off is now known as dziegler === Dat_ is now known as Dat === askabt is now known as aravind3 === guest929 is now known as askabt === askabt is now known as guest9291 [12:21] SarcasticGoats, please pastebin the output of apt-cache policy fglrx fglrx-amdcccle === NePtUnO|Off is now known as NePtUnO [12:22] and dpkg -l *fglrx* [12:22] Floogy I'm just going to reinstall ubunt [12:23] ok, maybe you should avoid the fglrx driver then. [12:23] seems like amd64-microcode is included in the linux kernel packages from what I gathered in google searches, thats why there is a conflict [12:23] I think I'm good [12:24] Ben64 Sorry, I had to log out because I could type anything anymore. Here's Unity's output http://pastebin.com/QWveqn8M [12:26] floogy! I've found how to change the screen dimensions with the xorg open source driver! It's worked :D [12:26] i'll try Urban Terror then [12:26] Woohoo! [12:27] SarcasticGoats, ok, so you're fine now. Keep away from the frglx drivers. [12:27] Sure will [12:28] *fglrx [12:28] Do you think in the future they'll add better support for Ubuntu and AMD GPU's? [12:28] I don't know... [12:28] I'm getting a 7790 in a few days.

[12:34] someone familiar with gnome could certainly tell me how one makes a shell script executable without the dialog (Show/Execute/in a terminal) [12:35] mar77i it's something like run chmod as root and put +x [12:35] as root? [12:35] lol [12:36] sudo chmod 777 +x Something like that [12:36] no I do have +x - and I certainly don't need 777... [12:36] why [12:36] mar77i, if you dont want to use the terminal you can do it in nautilus. right click properties [12:36] look [12:37] mar77i, otherwise its sudo chmod u+x filename [12:37] it does have +x, but the dialog is too much for the end user. I'll probably move it to /usr/local/bin and switch to a desktop file [12:38] Hello everyone, I installed Gnome shell recently and installed GDM but my login screen got reset to GDM too i think, How do i use LightDM or unity greeter instead of gdm?

I have a long delay when I do "ssh somehost" but no delay when I do "ssh ip_of_somehost". Any idea what I can do to solve this? [12:43] hello . Do any of you know how to send an "empty" option from a dhcp server to a particular client when the option has been set globally ? Overriding it for a specific client is simple , but "not sending it" .. thnx for any suggestions. [12:44] no_gravity you could for example harcode the host in your hosts file [12:45] no_gravity, seems to be related to a dns solver issue [12:45] no_gravity ^ what he said [12:45] Phoenixxl: maybe. but why is it slow? "dig somehost" comes back with the ip immediately. [12:46] no_gravity can your target resolve addresses ? is the delay after password ? [12:46] Phoenixxl: what do you mean with "can your target resolve addresses"? its before the password. [12:46] no_gravity the server [12:47] no_gravity can your server resolve addresses [12:47] Phoenixxl: i dont know [12:47] hello [12:47] no_gravity the issue could be your server , when connecting with an url , tries to do the extra step to see if you actually mean to ssh to it [12:48] does anyone know how to download the source from http://mirror.emulab.net/cygwin/ [12:48] no_gravity by resolving the url that got you to it [12:48] if a partition starting sector is at 2048 does that eaquals to 2MiB?

[12:50] 2048 [12:50] no_gravity i think so yes [12:51] rnholio [12:51] Does anyone know how to enable create launcher in the right click menu on the desktop in Gnome-shell on ubuntu 13.04 [12:51] hello [12:51] i installed the lxde desktop environment on quantal. i didnt like it, so i ran 'apt-get remove lxde' and then 'apt-get autoremove', but i can still see an lxde option on my login screen. how do i correct this? === guest180 is now known as guest1801 === guest1801 is now known as guest1802 [12:53] no_gravity , your server also prepares a reply in motd form that can include a lot of info that is dependent on external connections , that's why i asked if it was after the password you got the delay [12:53] I have a new drive it uses advanced format feature so it should be 4k.Gparted reports starting sector at 2048 not 4096 parted /dev/sda u MB print shows 1.05MB ; parted /dev/sda u s print - 2048s [12:54] kloes new or old , a drive reporting 4K is very rare most report 512 in some kind of compatibility mode [12:54] kloes like for example WD 3tb's [12:55] so my question is if I try to allign partition using gparted will it work since there is a difference 2048s shows up as a 1.05 MB [12:55] it is a new drive I did not partition it yet [12:55] does anyone know how to download the source from http://mirror.emulab.net/cygwin/ [12:56] It came already partitioned [12:56] kloes : sudo hdparm -I /dev/sda | grep -i physical [12:56] anyone know why dual monitors may not work with Ubuntu 13.04 using an HP ProBook 4535s?

At that point detach fails. when i do fuser on the file it reports a lot of PIDS are using the file which clearly is not true (the file is a private file I created), that is of no interrest to the many PIDs [13:00] then? [13:00] is this a known problem? [13:00] kloes leave a nice gap in front [13:00] how can i make the PIDS forget my private file so that I can detach it? [13:00] maum, the exe file , it's for windows tho [13:01] kloezs then pick a rounded number for your partition size in case you need to dd for recovery later [13:01] if this how you would align your 4k 512e whatever AF drive? [13:01] kloes ie , leave some space at the end [13:02] kloes yes , leave 4096x512 bytes in front , and leave plenty at the back [13:02] Hi all, trying to install udhcpc package fails with : unable to open files list file for package `iproute': Input/output error [13:02] where to look [13:02] that's barely 2 meg [13:03] why 2048s is not eaqual to 2MiB in gparted? [13:03] kloes because blocks are half a KB not a whole KB [13:04] kloes, different measurement standards. deal with it.

Thanks. [13:11] kloes if it's 512 , which it probably will be [13:11] I mean that if you partition af drive - all new drives are af the partition needs to be alligned or you will get performance issues [13:12] kloes when your partitioner asks a starting block select 4096 [13:12] cfhowlett: what you mean? [13:12] kloes if yourr block size is 4096 , selkect 512 as starting block [13:12] hello all [13:13] kloes thats all there's to it [13:13] klos as long as you don't start in the middle of a block you're fine === Matthew is now known as Guest94565 === Guest94565 is now known as AndroidOS [13:14] kloes let's say you have 4 k physicsl blocks , and your drive , for compatibility reasons , like most of the time , gives the OS the illusion you have 512 byte blocks , you could potentially start your partition in the middle of one of those 4K blocks , that would be bad [13:15] I do not think it is possible to get the real block size because the hard drive reports what it emulates for compatability reasons.Only AF mark on its label tell that it is a new 4k drive [13:15] hence , if you leave a 4Kx512 byte gap up front you're covered for all possibilities [13:15] not true [13:15] chvx, you asked opinions on bleeding edge vs non-bleeding edge issues. good question ... but this channel is where work is done to get systems up, working and fixed.

[13:47] any ideas ? [13:48] Bower^: /etc/group [13:48] wildwind, legend. thank you [13:48] drasko: You can manually add the default gateway with 'route add default gw 1.2.4' [13:48] drasko: Or, fix your dhcp server to hand it out [13:49] narcos, dhcp server hands it [13:49] Anyone in here use mullvad for their vpn and are having issues with it on 13.04?

[14:12] hurdvm: well, is gnome3 forcing unity launcher then? [14:12] gustav_: no time for that [14:12] drasko: can you give me your results from apt-get install [14:12] Vooloo: not at all, you can use gnome-shell or even cinnamon on 13.04 instead of unity [14:12] (Reading database ... dpkg: unrecoverable fatal error, aborting: [14:12] unable to open files list file for package `iproute': Input/output error [14:12] E: Sub-process /usr/bin/dpkg returned an error code (2) [14:12] did you know if your a homosexual god will destroy your soul by sending you to hell for eternal torment where you will be tortured day and night forever and ever [14:13] Vooloo: Ok, well, it's just an option. [14:14] drasko: try this: [14:14] dpkg --configure -a [14:15] eoo, I already did this also [14:15] no sucess [14:18] question, does anyone know if i can intergrade FLICKR in the indicator bar? [14:18] as an icon? [14:20] drasko: try it again, and then follow up with the apt-get [14:20] drasko: you should also be able to fiddle with synaptic [14:21] ok I'm wondering what to use to help out my ram issue zram or zswap? [14:21] eoo, problem is in /media/pacoFS/var/lib/dpkg/info/iproute.list which become corrupted and unreadable [14:21] or something else? [14:22] humm this would also work for me , Say you have 2 interfaces , one getting it's IP from dhcp , the other manually , is there a way to set the metrics for the default gateway of the interface that got it's ip from dhcp ? thnx. [14:23] Phoenixxl: You could always make some post-up and post-down directives in the /etc/network/interfaces file [14:24] genii-around sure. but i'd have to assume the gateway is the same each time then.. [14:25] genii-around it'll have to do i supose .. [14:25] genii : post-up route add default gw XXXXXX metric 1 [14:26] Ciaoo [14:26] !list [14:26] Prova: 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 ». [14:26] genii : is there a variable for the gateways one gets from dhcp usablme in the interfaces filme ?? [14:26] genii: probably asking way too much .. [14:27] genii: it would have been great if I could remove it from isc-dhcp-server [14:27] I would kindly like to greet you all. [14:27] hello, im on back on ubuntu 12.04 because 12.10 was not working properly after hours of downloading and installing. Now i want to try installing 12.10 again because i want the FLICKR intergration. Anybody got any tips... [14:28] cheffed , yes , install KVM [14:28] whats that? [14:28] a virtual enbvironment [14:29] mmmm why? [14:29] cheffed where you can install ubuntu from 9 up to 13 for shits andd giggles [14:29] cheffed and break nothing [14:29] sure, but ultimately i want to use 13 [14:29] but that doesnt work for some reason... [14:30] i really want 13 [14:30] Hi, I installed Emit on Ubuntu with "sudo sh ./install" (instructions: http://pastebin.com/fQ0iifVC) but when I try to launch it with `emit -s`, I get the following error: http://paste.ubuntu.com/5706947/ [14:30] What am I missing here? [14:31] cheffed I only have 1 12:10 install , the rest are all 12.04 [14:31] ciao [14:31] list! [14:31] cheffed the only reason I needed 12.10 was geo-ip [14:31] i need some form of flickr intergration [14:32] Phoenixxl: You can execute any arbitrary script as a post-up or post-down. So you can just make a script to parse whatever ifconfig or some other thing reports for ethX to find the gateway or so on, then just call it from the interfaces file. Apologies on lag, working, plus had to read backscroll to see that some of your messages were for me [14:32] cheffed i can't have my machines crap out allover the place.. only 12.04 is OK atm where stability is concerned === Squarism is now known as Mickelll [14:32] agree to that [14:32] so as of now, no flickr intergration in for the indicator bar [14:32] genii , that sounds ok. ill do that . [14:32] hi [14:33] cheffed you really should have some fun with KVM [14:33] cheffed install a few virtual computers with newer and older versions of ubuntu , [14:33] I have a ZFS pool mounted on my Ubuntu machine. However, I can't view the folders inside, they're of an unknown filetype. Any ideas of to access them? [14:34] no i absolutely know what you mean, but its not really adding to any value to be honest [14:34] ThePendulum if your pool is mounted , you should be ablme to see the files [14:34] ThePendulum unless you are using zvols there are no different types [14:34] Phoenixxl: I can see the folders inside, but I can't 'enter' these folders because they apparently are of an unknown filetype. [14:35] ThePendulum where did you create ? on freebsd , solaris , zol ? [14:35] Phoenixxl: They were created with FreeNAS, which is based on FreeBSD iirc. [14:36] can anyone tell me "how to execute a couple of sudo commands while logging to a server" eg: "ot=sudo virsh list --all | awk '{print $2}' | tail -2 & sudo virsh dominfo $ot" [14:36] This is what I'm seeing: https://dl.dropboxusercontent.com/u/25683105/Pictures/Unsorted/zpool.png [14:36] ThePendulum so it's basically V28 ? then you should be fine .. [14:36] sorry i have no gui i cant click images [14:37] Phoenixxl: Oh, sorry, rotfl [14:37] so you are importing on ZOL yes ? [14:37] why compiz-plugins-extra cannot be downloaded ? [14:37] Phoenixxl: I'm sorry, ZOL? [14:37] or are you uimporting on fuse ? [14:37] well , on ubuntu i mean [14:38] I am not quite sure what these terms are [14:38] I have used zfs mount -a to mount the imported pool [14:38] ThePendulum you created your pool on freenas [14:38] Yes [14:38] poop [14:38] !help [14:38] Please don't ask to ask a question, simply ask the question (all on ONE line and in the channel, so that others can read and follow it easily). If anyone knows the answer they will most likely reply. :-) See also !patience [14:39] #ubuntu-quality [14:39] OMG [14:39] ThePendulum , andf now you are on the # ubuntu channel , trying to get them to work on uibuntu yes? [14:39] ThePendulum, what does zpool status give [14:39] Phoenixxl: Correct [14:39] floogy: Just a sec [14:39] is there a list of ubotto commands? [14:39] ThePendulum , what are you using on ubuntu , fuse or ZOL [14:40] Phoenixxl: How do I tell? [14:40] did you install a PPA ? [14:40] ThePendulum, dpkg -l *zfs* [14:40] from laurence livermoore labs? [14:40] if not you are probably useing ZOL [14:40] how do i load new themes in ubuntu 13.04? [14:40] i mean fuse [14:40] if you are using fuse , i would recommend switching to ZOL [14:41] ill give the ppa .. [14:41] I did install 'a' PPA, but that was zfs-something [14:41] zfs-native/stable that was === akshay_r is now known as akshay__ [14:41] ThePendulum, Anyway, You should compile zfs on linux from git and ask for support under #zfsonlinux [14:42] cjbirk: Drop them in the ~/.themes folder iirc [14:42] ThePenduluml https://launchpad.net/~zfs-native/+archive/stable [14:42] Phoenixxl: Yes, I installed that one [14:42] good [14:42] At least, the ppa and zfs [14:42] Not sure if there are any other packages in that ppa I should install [14:43] ThePendulum and you imported yes ? [14:43] what does zfs list -t all give ? [14:43] ThePendulum, did you zpool export the pool on freeNAS and import it by zpool import under linux? [14:43] Phoenixxl: Yes, and I mounted the pool and it's accessible as up to the first layer. The dirs simply won't work. [14:43] Just a sec, lots of instructions here [14:44] ThePendumum your filesystems should be mounted [14:44] you simply cant access them from /poolname [14:44] Phoenixxl: http://pastie.org/7969051 [14:44] I don't think that mount -a is the apropriate action to import the pool, though I'm not sure. [14:44] Phoenixxl: The 13,5G one is probably the OS flashdrive [14:44] you should see etheir mountpoints whan doing a zfs list -t all [14:44] floogy: No, I imported it, then mounted it [14:44] Phoenixxl: Oh wait, you can't click on links [14:44] Ok [14:45] Phoenixxl: shared 1,99T 1,58T 1,98T /mnt/stor [14:45] Since there's 4TB space, I assume both disks are properly mounted to /mnt/stor then, and not just half of it or something [14:45] can someone tell me how do i join multiple channels [14:45] iTank_AR 2.37T 6.49T 136K /Tank_AR [14:45] ThePendulum, is the zpool clean? [14:45] for example [14:45] floogy: Clean? How do I check? [14:45] zpool status [14:45] on kiwiirc on browser CUZ I CANT 0.0 [14:45] or on the freenode [14:46] floogy: Can you click links? [14:46] Yes, it should show sth. like 'No known data errors' [14:46] floogy: http://pastie.org/7969060 <-- No known data errors... [14:46] Yes [14:46] ThePendumum if it needed scrubbung , it would have said something , but you can let it have a go [14:46] hmmm [14:46] zpool upgrade [14:46] ThePendulum I wouldn't yet though [14:46] ThePendumum dont upgrade [14:47] I figured [14:47] ThePendumlum leave it at v28 [14:47] I don't like the sound of "no longer suported" [14:47] *pp [14:47] ThePendulum zfs get version [14:47] floogy: version 4? [14:47] V5000 is a fork. v28 is generally compatible [14:47] PROPERTY version, VALUE 4 [14:48] I cant view one of my drives as it says I do not have permissions to view it's content. Only when I do so as root can I view. How do I give myself permission to view the contents? [14:48] User404: Use 'sudo' in front of your command [14:48] User404: Are you working in the terminal or in the GUI? [14:48] guys any help , why compiz-plugins-extra , is undownloadable / package broken [14:48] Hi guys Sam G here from the qateam to help :0 [14:48] qateam? [14:48] Ok, that's outdated, but that shouldn't be the culprit, and if you want to use it with a OS that doesn't support v5000 then you'll be in trouble. [14:49] 'lo Sam :P [14:49] Thependulum: haha i love my indroduction :) [14:49] When I go to the drive via nautilus it gives me the permission error (as normal user). How do I change it so normal user has access to the drive? [14:49] floogy: At this point, I just want to have access to my data, so I can back-up it ASAP [14:49] i have borked my network configuration. now i cant access the internet and only some of my webservers are able to serv on my internal network [14:49] thePendulum have you done a zfs mopuntall ? [14:50] Guys I'm back and I just needed help with this https://wiki.ubuntu.com/X/Config/Resolution#Setting_resolution_changes_in_xorg.conf [14:50] Phoenixxl: I did zfs mount -a if that's what you mean [14:50] why compiz-plugins-extra , is undownloadable / package broken [14:50] ThePendulum, I had to compile zfs on linux from git to import it from lucid or from another precise installation. [14:50] To achieve that I must purge the PPA [14:50] il be right back :) [14:50] packets [14:51] floogy: Did you get a similar issue? Since I do see my zpool [14:51] ok the ppa should have included a specific version of mountall for ezfs [14:51] zfs === norma is now known as Guest17376 [14:51] if that got installed , be sure that it did , reboot [14:51] No, I got a FAULTY pool, because it didn't find the partitions the right way, due to a bug in the PPA [14:51] Heh? How do I install a specific version of mountall? [14:51] mountall 2.48build1-zfs2 Darik Horn (2013-04-01) [14:52] it should have installed itself with zfs [14:52] It showed the device files /dev/sdX as corrupt. But in fact they were sane. [14:52] then you should reboot [14:52] Phoenixxl: Mountall is installed, it seems [14:52] Not sure how to use it [14:52] And not sure what 'specific version' is installed [14:53] mountall , yes , but zfs install should overwrite it with a zfs compatible one , thats whty you need a reboot [14:53] ThePendulum dpkg -l *mountall* [14:53] Phoenixxl: I installed zfs yesterday [14:53] Phoenixxl: And I just booted it, so it has rebooted meanwhile [14:53] BACK [14:53] ok [14:53] Yes, but the bugfix isn't yet in the PPA [14:53] just going over the things that could be it [14:53] Mountall is version 2.36.4 [14:53] SAM IN tha house to assist ya :P [14:54] with basic knowledge rofl [14:54] why compiz-plugins-extra , is undownloadable / package broken [14:54] samgabbay: You need an echo on your voice and a soundboard, mate [14:54] @thependulum say what? [14:54] floogy: How do I retrieve the bugfix? [14:54] samgabbay: u wot m8? [14:54] Though I'm not sure if you're affected by this bug, because you're issue is different from mine. [14:54] wut?\ [14:54] im running 12.04.2 if anyone can help me get my network interface set back up. this new resolvconf stuff is killing me. i just want to setup an static ip to make it easey to access my webuis === root is now known as Guest4180 [14:55] floogy: Well, it seems similar, since I can in fact mount everything yet I can't use it [14:55] lets go again from the top [14:55] pendulum man i dunno what ursaying but i bet its gangsta [14:55] ThePendulum, you have to compile zfs from git. But I'm not sure if the bugfix is related to your problem. [14:55] i3luefire , use sudo ifup [14:55] in your root you have a /Tankname folder yes ? [14:55] samgabbay: It's more Brittish than gangsta [14:56] ThePendulum, does the pool comes from freeNAS? [14:56] @thependulum still gansta :P [14:56] floogy: Yes [14:56] Phoenixxl: I can't find anything like that in my root [14:56] hello how to use traceroute for the point up until where it cuts [14:56] ? [14:56] Thats not normal [14:56] Hm, that might be a problem because of the different geom partition scheme, but I'm not sure. [14:56] rofl [14:56] Phoenixxl: Is this literally called Tankname or is it my pool name? [14:56] no [14:57] anyone need help with basic things il be glad to help :) [14:57] it's the name of your tank [14:57] Is there a difference between a pool and a tank? [14:57] I don't know what my thank's called [14:57] no [14:57] sorry [14:57] But it isn't there either way [14:57] @thependulum not really [14:57] i call my polols tanks [14:57] I am unable to ssh into my ubuntu 12.04 box, even with its firewall turned off. I have verified that ssh server is running and ssh localhost works, but any attempt to login from another machine on my home network times out. Someone earlier asked me to run sudo iptables -L and the output of that is at http://pastebin.ubuntu.com/5707001/ . I'm in beyond my very limited knowledge here. Is there anything in that output that signals a problem? [14:57] there the same  but pool is bigger [14:57] sorry for the confusion [14:57] Phoenixxl: AH, okay, hehe [14:57] Well it isn't there either way :P [14:57] i3luefire, set your staitic Ip in the /etc/network/interfaces file and you dns nameservers (if any) in the /etc/resolvconf/resolv.conf.d/base file , along with your domain and search gateways [14:57] /poolname [14:57] Yes, I understand [14:57] @twig11 did you port forward? is your server on? [14:58] ThePendulum, I suggest to ask further in #zfsonlinux [14:58] The pool's called 'shared' iirc and it's not there [14:58] floogy: I guess. Bit of a dead channel. [14:58] ok .. before that thne.. zpool status gives : ok ? [14:58] i3luefire , use sudo ifup [14:58] ThePendulum, they helped me rather well in that issue. [14:58] why compiz-plugins-extra , is undownloadable / package broken [14:58] samgabbay: the server is on. I haven't done any port forwarding that I can remember. [14:59] if your pool is there , with zpool status , [14:59] the second thing to do is zpool list [14:59] @twig11 open your ports check what ports are you using ssh in [14:59] floogy: I do not doubt that [14:59] the first line [14:59] under NAME [14:59] Phoenixxl: Just a sec [14:59] paste that plaease [14:59] @thependulum how do you do that liek samgabbay: auto maticly [14:59] Phoenixxl: shared 3,62T 1,99T 1,63T 54% 1.00x ONLINE - [14:59] hs, http://pastebin.com/0kuM5Nuu [14:59] samgabbay: Type usernames in front of my lines? === akshay__ is now known as akshay_r [15:00] samgabbay: did you read my whole post? If I have the firewall off, the ports should all be open, right? [15:00] samgabbay: I type a certain amount of letters of their usernames and then hit [tab] to have my client complete it. [15:00] thependulum ?? [15:00] samgabbay: For you, I need to type 'samg'- because there are multiple users starting with sam in here [15:00] @twig11 maybe on the sspecific network but are you trying to acess it within the same network? [15:00] Phoenixxl: Hm? That was all directed to sam [15:00] thependulum is that the first nile under name after doing a zfs list ? [15:00] samgabbay: yes I am. [15:00] line [15:01] Phoenixxl: That is the entire line, NAME just has 'shared' [15:01] Phoenixxl: The rest is SIZE, ALLOC, etc. [15:01] i3luefire , sudo ifdown eth1 | ifup eth1 [15:01] @twig11 lemem reread your issue [15:01] NAME USED AVAIL REFER MOUNTPOINT [15:01] samgabbay: and I can ssh the other way, from that machine to others and from other machines to one another without a problem in the same network [15:01] you have too many fields [15:01] Phoenixxl: Eh, I got that earlier with another command [15:01] i am interested in what you have in mountpoint [15:02] Phoenixxl: /mnt/stor?

[15:15] the files you are looking for [15:15] Phoenixxl: They are inside the two folders in /mnt/stor.

[15:17] i have no idea how you managed to create a pool , then put the files in the raw data so to speak [15:17] you shouldnt't even have reduncancy there [15:17] 1 create pool , 2 create volume , 3 put files in volume [15:18] BluesKaj, the settings there look correct to me [15:19] My printscreen function isn't working properly.

[15:20] Phoenixxl, I think he could use his pools successfully under freeNAS. [15:21] flogy pools yes , idk , but he should have created volumes [15:21] flogging molly [15:21] oops [15:22] floogy i would recomend now , that he moves back to freenas , copies his fiiles that are god knows where to the volume he just created , then mounts his pool back in ubuntu [15:22] floogy that shoud work [15:22] his files will be in the volume , no doubt [15:23] Anybody knows if starting corosync at boot is safe?

Are there any good standalone sound-reactive graphics for Linux similar to Milkdrop but that do not rely on being a plugin for a media player? [15:26] Phoenixxl, And maybe zfs mount will list the available filesystems and mountpoints. [15:26] Did he created a new pool? [15:27] floogy no , i just made him create a volume [15:27] floogy and that is the only volume on his system [15:27] Mobenchain did you run a chksum on the ISO yoh d/loaded [15:27] Hm, maybe he's bitten by the bug in the PPA too, but it appears in another way... [15:28] floogy /shrug [15:29] betrayd: I downloaded the ISO quite a long time ago, and just found it again recently. I believe I did when I made the disk [15:29] floogy we should know , if he reboots now , if the volume diappears , if it's the bug [15:29] What would be the easiest way to set up a dual-boot between OS X and Ubuntu on a Mac? Should I set up Boot Camp before installing Ubuntu? [15:29] Any hot girls wanna Skype? [15:29] 1670 ppls and nobody event noticed I've write something. That's why ubuntu will always suck. Nothing has changed since 2006. Fuck "community" like that. [15:29] rmobenchain is it different HW now? [15:29] I'll drop my support in this case, because it seems to be over my skills. I don't want to give bad hints that might destroy his data. [15:29] floogy if the volume is still there after a reboot , then he should stick his drives back in the freenas box , and move the files to an actual volume , ie thhe one he just made [15:29] betrayd: HW? [15:30] HELLO PEOPLE SEE SEXY LADIES? [15:30] rmobenchain hardware? [15:30] floogy , if a pool is tagged as V5000 behavior should be different [15:30] betrayd: oh yeah. yes it is. was on my old computer and got a new one from a buddy [15:31] floogy , a reboot , see if it's still there , then attach to freenas , won't destroy his data [15:31] floogy once there , he can come back to irc [15:31] I LIKE BIG DICKS [15:32] floogy , if he destroyed his freenas machine however.. hello KVM...

[15:38] betrayd: I'm on a LIVE CD as we speak [15:38] hs: Try sudo dpkg -i /var/cache/apt/archives/libgcc1_1%3a4.7.2-5ubuntu1_i386.deb and then see if it gives some better information about the problem [15:39] Phoenixxl, floogy: Back [15:39] I'd love to partition around any bad sectors (if that is indeed the issue) and try installing. can that be done? [15:40] Phoenixx1, ThePendulum Ok, zpool status gave no known data errors. So he should be fine with importing the pool under freeNAS. But he could also try to compile from git and try again to import the pool under linux. [15:40] BluesKaj, http://pastebin.com/BuLGZjCQ [15:40] rmobenchain can you create a partition beyond the bad sectors [15:40] floogy: What's the git? [15:40] floogy: And what should I purge first? [15:40] Hi. I'm looking for word processor that handles style better than libreoffice. Ideas?

Am a newb here [15:41] Hm [15:41] makara: better is very subjective [15:41] BluesKaj, i had already tried that before. but it didnt work. so i tried it again a little slower and more deliberate and same result [15:41] makara: Just try a bunch and decide for yourself :P Finding some is a matter of Googling 'ubuntu word processor' I'd say [15:41] hurdvm, well i don't mind using both options. Its just that LibreOffice is pretty weak on styles. [15:42] rmobenchain check out that ubcd reference from genii. i think its a complete makeover === Mickelll is now known as Squarism [15:42] ThePendulum is your freenas machine still ok ?

[15:44] well, the terminal lines are in english... [15:44] and tah'ts about it for germen [15:44] can i be a haxor with ubuntu?

[15:44] Fay: You can be a haxor with any OS [15:44] its in der lederhosen [15:44] HAX! [15:45] BluesKaj, i dont have a dhcp server running [15:45] so i repeat [15:45] how does one ubuntu [15:45] Wenst du Ubuntu gebrauchest, du sachest eigenluch dast du Windhoos hast. [15:45] I'm not good at this. [15:45] no your not [15:45] you in ubuntu [15:45] BluesKaj, my routers dhcp server is off [15:45] it's not for the server it's for your interface file [15:45] I bloody I keep starting my music player, forgetting all my music is on my now defunct NAS [15:45] land of the hold my hand and please help me ubuntu [15:46] te he [15:46] lala [15:46] fuckallyall im outa here [15:46] Jamo ventje je moet hier nie begunnen ee , in't duuts kunkj et nie mor in't west vlams wel zulle [15:46] Phoenixxl: Agh he zeg, kunde ge da nie een beetke rustiger uitdrukke heh? [15:46] BluesKaj, it looks like it has hung on that [15:46] Lap [15:47] ThePendulum, You have to create the ./configure script first by running ./autogen.sh first. [15:47] floogy: Glad there's a autogen :P I'm lagging behind a bit, let me reboot first and then purge the whole bunch. [15:47] ThePendulum, are you installing zfs from git ? [15:48] Phoenixxl: That's what floogy recommended [15:48] It seems that he'll try that. [15:48] ThePendulum, There's a daily and a Stable , isn't that good enough ? [15:48] i3 i'm assuming that eth1 is the default setting in /etc/network/interfaces [15:48] i3luefire,^ [15:48] Phoenixxl: Heh? Not sure, is it? [15:48] ThePendulum, Whelp .. it will be bend or break lol [15:48] Phoenixxl, they are outdated anyway nothing's daily [15:48] Git with kernel modules , i'm not a fan [15:49] is zcache enabled in the default 13.04 kernel? [15:49] they're not that outdated [15:49] let me see [15:49] As long as my pool is not destroyed, I'll try anything [15:49] Because that pool holds some serious data :( [15:50] BluesKaj, default? [15:50] Phoenixxl, I'm not a fan for this solution either, but I had to go that way to get my data accessible on the upgraded lucid installation (upgraded to precise). [15:50] Phoenixxl: Are you from Belgium? [15:50] Flanders, more specifically [15:50] BluesKaj, it is the only one besides lo [15:50] I'm not finding a lot of information on how to enable zcache in ubuntu, but from what I have gathered it may help out with swap/ram so I'd like to try it [15:50] ThePendulum, Joak [15:51] is ultimate boot cd something I need to download, save to a thumb drive or ... ?? [15:51] floogy: At this point I indeed just want to access my data so I can find someone who has a bunch of back-up disks and back it all up [15:51] hey [15:51] sorry to ask silly questions, but am pretty new to alot of this [15:51] ThePendulum, 8 weeks for daily , idd , are they on holiday ? [15:51] Phoenixxl: Dutch myself. [15:51] Phoenixxl: I bet [15:51] Lazy birds [15:51] ThePendulum, as a last resort, you can reinstall freeNAS and import the pool there. [15:51] thats what i would do [15:51] i3luefire, yes, your default for the ethernet conn , I see it in ifconfig as eth1 [15:51] floogy: Indeed, I guess I should just go ahead and do that :( [15:52] freenas , move the files from where they are to the volume we just made [15:52] rmobenchain: we only deal with ubuntu here [15:52] I can't ssh into my ubuntu 12.04 box from any other machine on my network. The connection simply times out without any response. I've verified that ssh server is running, ssh localhost works, I've tried with all firewalls turned off, and the result is the same. The output of iptables -L is at http://pastebin.ubuntu.com/5707001/ . Is there anything here that indicates a problem? [15:52] and then put hem back on linux [15:52] BluesKaj, yes it is the one configured in interfaces [15:52] ThePendulum, you could do it with a KVM [15:52] i install a new Ubuntu 13.04 on my laptop (with intel 3000 HD), and i got the "The System is running in low-graphics mode" error at boot. No lightdm show :/ ... I read a lot of strange "fix" about this on the web, but i prefer ask you whish is the best fix to this. thanks [15:52] hurdvm: I know that, but it was suggested I use it from some in here ...

[15:53] Let's see [15:53] ThePendulum, you can , install KVM , and install freenas on a virtual machine [15:53] yes [15:53] floogy: Could you again tell me what to purge and where to git repo is? [15:54] ThePendulum, then share the drives as raw, imprt in freenas [15:54] Phoenixxl: KVM is software? I thought it was hardware [15:54] what's the output of dpkg -l *zfs* *spl* [15:54] not a KVM switch [15:54] a question to cron(tab). is 01-51/10 equal to 01,11,21,31,41,51 ? [15:54] KVM is a hypervisor [15:54] Phoenixxl: I'm confused. I could read out the data with FreeNAS, but where on earth would I put it?

[15:57] it's as big as the free space in your pool [15:57] Phoenixxl: Which isn't big enough :P [15:57] BluesKaj, same [15:57] do a df [15:58] Phoenixxl: So this pool is added next to the 'shared' pool?

I don't want my FTP user access /home/user, i want to change it to /srv folder... [15:58] it's a volume [15:58] Phoenixxl: /storage1 or /test1?

[16:03] no if you move [16:03] ThePendulum, sudo apt-get purge libzfs1 spl spl-dkms zfs-dkms zfsutils [16:03] it will shrink the other [16:03] floogy: I'm not sure which method I should try first :p [16:03] Phoenixxl: Does that go well? Seems like a risky move [16:03] Ok, that's up to you. [16:03] 1st in all acases you should reboot [16:04] and see if it's an automount option [16:04] then do what floogy sais [16:04] it's quickesr [16:04] I already only just rebooted [16:04] if that doesn't work [16:04] Alright [16:04] you can go the long way [16:04] floogy: Do I have to unmount something first? [16:04] well if you rebooted that means mountall works fine [16:05] Phoenixxl: But /mnt/stor is empty [16:05] ThePendulum, toy should export your pool prolly [16:05] Yes you should export the pool first [16:05] Hmpf, let's see how I go about that [16:05] ok i3luefire , sudo service networking restart , again [16:05] zpool export XXX [16:05] Do i need /boot as primary if i want to install grub in that perticular partition ?

I have discovered that intel-microcode is not installed. So i installed it. Seems to boost performance for me about 2x.

The connection simply times out. I've verified that the server is running and ssh localhost works. Other machines can ssh each other. I have the output of iptables -L at http://pastebin.ubuntu.com/5707001/ . Is there anything useful there? What should I check next? [16:48] twig11 is that a server? if yes: there's also #ubuntu-server [16:51] i3luefire, glad to hear it :) [16:52] twig11: What did you use to create your iptables rules? [16:52] twig11: Have you tried ssh -vvv ? [16:55] MonkeyDust, no, it's a workstation. [16:55] twig11: Port 22 may be blocked at your work. Try to run "telnet workstationIP 22" [16:56] guake wont start on startup 12.04.2 x64 [16:56] in gnome [16:56] jhutchins_wk, pardon my lack of knowledge; are those rules adjusted by ufw? Because I've set up a rule or two with a firewall gui, but I've never directly done anything with iptables. [16:57] twig11: That will just list the firewall rules that you have, so it will help us determine if you are blocking requests to port 22 or not. [16:57] rypervenche, I'm trying to connect from one machine to another within my home network. [16:58] twig11: Ok, well run "telnet workstationIP 22" and tell us what happens. Does it do nothing or does it print out something with "openSSH" in it? [16:58] twig11: Obviously use your work station's IP address instead of "workstationIP" [16:58] jhutchins_wk, would I run that from the problem machine or from another machine on the network? [16:59] rypervenche, would that work from the workstation in question? [16:59] twig11: Do it from a work station that you want to use as your client, so the one you want to SSH from. [17:00] rypervenche, ok [17:00] twig11: So the IP should be the one you want to SSH into. [17:01] rypervenche, it looks like it's just timing out again. [17:01] twig11: Then it looks like you are not allowing traffic from port 22. Have you added a rule in gufw for port 22 incoming (TCP)? [17:02] Vannak itt magyarok? [17:02] twig11: Use that command from the machine that's trying to reach the host, it will give you information on where it's failing. [17:02] twig11: Some setups deny root login by default. Some may require a particular type of key. [17:02] rypervenche, the results are the same when the firewall is off. [17:02] Hello there, I've got a little issue with Ubuntu 12.0.4. I want to have GNOME-panel as GUI instead of GNOME-shell. I've installed gnome-panel and started but the shell left panel is still there, how to kill that gnome-shell? Thanks for any help!

[17:52] my uptime shows me: " 19:50:42 up 52 min, 3 users, load average: 0,96, 0,87, 0,62" but my laptop has only been booted less than 30 min ago [17:52] rypervenche, jhutchins_wk, wildwind: Sorry I had to run. wildwind, I've tried to connect with all firewalls disabled. It's not a firewall problem. [17:52] mkanyicy: Do you have a server installed? [17:52] twig11: Can you ping your other computer? [17:52] konectd, no, i just connect it to the internet later [17:52] use the software center loked for restricted extras and install it [17:53] rypervenche, I can ping both ways. [17:53] Hi. I have 2 NIC in my ubuntu 12.10 server. BCM and RLTK. In dmesg BCM is eth1 at first (and RLTK eth0) and later... BCM become eth0 and RLTK... don't know! BCM is working but RLTK PCIe no. Not list in ifconfig. With lspci -nn I have: RTL8111/8168B. How to make it work? --UPDATE-- Weird... seems that it's eth2... but nothing in dmesg! [17:54] twig11: Do this, install "pastebinit" on your client and then run "sudo iptables -nvL | pastebinit" without the quotation marks. [17:54] mkanyicy: Ok, you have your user, root user and maybe a printer setup..? That would be the three users. [17:54] twig11: on server: sudo netstat -46Wpnl [17:54] mkanyicy: Run the top command to see what processes are running. [17:54] trism: None of the other ones in /etc/init do? [17:54] booh, bridged NICs ? [17:54] * narcos lies [17:55] They do [17:55] twig11: Sorry, on your server, not client. [17:55] reddeath68: so what did you remove? [17:56] konectd, ok let me check that, thanks [17:56] mkanyicy: No prob! [17:56] AFK [17:56] rypervenche: very cool, I didn't know about pastebinit. Output is at http://paste.ubuntu.com/5707482/ [17:57] How to be sure that my primary on-board NIC will always use the same eth_ number even if I change pci order of nic or change physical nic ? [17:57] narcos: are you sure you are not in /etc/init.d/? [17:57] Hi all, I'm trying to find the dialog for "Startup Applications" that used to be in the "Shut Down" (I don't know what it's actually called but the button in the upper right corner) menu. Where has it gone? [17:57] narcos: because every job in /etc/init/ has .conf at the end [17:58] reddeath68: ugh, a lot of ufw stuff... [17:58] trism: Yes you were right, sorry, and thank you :) [17:58] wildwind: output at http://paste.ubuntu.com/5707494/ [17:58] account-plugin-aim, nautilus-sendto-empathy, account-plugin-salut, empathy, account-plugin-jabber, mcp-account-manager-uoa, account-plugin-yahoo, thunderbird-locale-en, thunderbird-locale-en-us, thunderbird-gnome-support, thunderbird, thunderbird-globalmenu, transmission-gtk, rhythmbox-pluginmagnatune, rhythmbox-ubuntuone, rhythmbox-plugins, rhythmbox-plugin-cdrecorder, rhythmbox-plugin-zeitgeist, [17:58] rhythmbox-mozilla, unity-scope-musicstores, rhythmbox thats all of them sorry for the wait on laptop couldn't copy and paste [17:58] twig11: And that's with your firewall off? [17:58] lasindi: gnome-session-properties; although you can also search for Startup Applications in the dash [17:58] ufw stuff? [17:58] Hi, I have a system that won't boot anymore. it was a software raid system and now I only get a "Read Error" - any suggestion [17:58] trism, ah okay, so they just removed it from that menu, I see. [17:59] twig11: Do me a favor and run "sudo iptables -P INPUT ACCEPT" then "sudo iptables -F" then try to connect again. [17:59] rypervenche: no it's on right now. want me to do it with the firewall off? [17:59] reddeath68: ok sshd is listening [17:59] For some reason, even though I tell network manager to ignore it, IPv6 keeps regenerating on my laptop... how do I stop that behavior? [18:01] ok so sshd is causing some kind of look? netwroking/linux are not my specialty by a long shot [18:01] rypervenche: Hey, that totally worked. what did I just do? [18:01] twig11: You flushed your firewall. Your firewall is the problem. [18:01] twig11: You can restart gufw to bring back your old firewall. [18:02] rypervenche, so why did turning it off via gufw not work? [18:02] twig11: I don't know. Try turning it off then running the same command to pastebin it. It could be that rate-limit that was in it. You may just be trying too many times. [18:02] reddeath68: sorry, that was for twig11 [18:02] o lol [18:03] sorry if my list was alot i was only trying to remove things i thought i wouldnt need [18:04] reddeath68: nothing critical ther [18:04] *there [18:04] ok so what now? [18:04] wildwind: same command with firewall OFF http://paste.ubuntu.com/5707511/ [18:05] twig11: lol, wrong command. Just turn gufw on then off, then run "sudo iptables -nvL | pastebinit" [18:05] twig11: turning firewall on/off not supposed to change that [18:06] reddeath68: show iwconfig [18:06] hello! I'm looking to add an unrecognized display mode (1440x900@75), I have an NVIDIA 650 ti with proprietary drivers and the problem is here http://pastebin.com/6L7RrbVR [18:06] Hi. While im camming on skype I can't hear anything on youtube or vlc. How do I fix this? [18:07] peyam, have you tried pavucontrol? it sets volume levels per application maybe that's what's at fault here [18:07] ok but without internet i dont have access to pastebin i might be able to if i can find my fash drive on moment [18:07] rat_poison: LEt me send you a pic [18:08] peyam, imgur or equivalent please [18:08] rypervenche: http://paste.ubuntu.com/5707533/ [18:08] rat_poison: http://imgur.com/DlkLmxM === akshay_ is now known as akshay_r [18:09] I only have that when im running firefoz or skype. [18:09] twig11: And it's not working right now? [18:09] wildwind, are you saying some firewall settings remain in effect when the firewall is off? [18:09] any help for a raid system that now won't boot - I only get Read Error [18:10] peyam, you're supposed to be running multiple applications with sound output simultaneously for it to have a point [18:10] twig11: according to the last paste, no [18:10] here wildwind: http://pastebin.com/r86wjNF7 [18:10] when you do, they're supposed to show up there [18:11] rat_poison: so how do I fix it? [18:11] rypervenche, it's working now, after turning gufw on and off. [18:12] twig11: What version of Ubuntu are you on [18:13] reddeath68: ok. do you have another machine connected to the same AP? [18:13] ap? or ip? [18:13] if I boot ubuntu from a live cd - can I mount a broken mirror hard drive with a virgin hard drive and have it rebuild? is there anyway to do this when a system is not working? [18:14] peyam, so you're saying that when you have applications that actively have sound output, they don't show up? [18:14] rat_poison: not in pulse? :( [18:14] rypervenche, 13.04 on the client, 12.04 on the server [18:14] twig11: https://help.ubuntu.com/12.10/serverguide/firewall.html [18:15] reddeath68: access point if you have one [18:15] twig11: Allow port 22 as they show. [18:15] peyam, are you asking me? [18:15] im using a router if thats what you mean and yes there are other devices [18:15] rat_poison: in pulse audio nothing shows up when I running them [18:15] for instance im running skype now. and nothing is in ppulse audio [18:16] peyam, it's not enough that you're running it. Try placing a Skype test Call and see what happens [18:17] rypervenche, ok I'll read up there. I had tried to open port 22 using gufw but apparently I'm not doing it correctly. ufw looks like it should be pretty easy to use from the cli. [18:17] twig11: It looks to already have some rules for port 22. [18:18] twig11: I don't have a lot of experience with gufw or ufw, so you'll want to ask the fine folks in this channel for further help. I use straight up iptables. [18:18] rypervenche, what's a good resource to learn more about iptables? [18:18] reddeath68: ping one of them from the problem laptop [18:19] twig11, man iptables and go straight to the examples [18:19] its a desktop but alright ill ping the lzaptop im on lol [18:19] rat_poison: do you now how to fix it? === elixir_ is now known as elixir [18:19] twig11: sudo ufw status [18:19] rypervenche, thanks for all the assistance. I feel like I'm out of the fog now. [18:20] rat_poison: sorry got disconected [18:20] I suppose you could try uninstalling pulseaudio, it seems to be messed up [18:21] peyam, I suppose you could try uninstalling pulseaudio, it seems to be messed up [18:21] wildwind: destination host unreachable for the first 8 pings then it starts to reach the laptop [18:22] reddeath68: let it run for a while [18:22] ok [18:22] how long?

I already uninstalled the webapp [18:34] too many bots i hate the things.. wrote a few back in the day [18:34] wildwind: then why did you use ndiswrapper when you have no idea what the chip is? You may find a driver for the chip exists. Don't worry people get hung up on the make and model rather than the actual chip inside [18:34] karlmh1982: they make supprt easier [18:35] realtek according to lspci [18:35] ActionParsnip: it's not me it's reddeath68 who has the chip and problems :) [18:36] karlmh1982: use checkinstall to make a deb. You can then maintain a PPA with the deb, or report a bug stating that your app should be added to the repos [18:36] wildwind: noted [18:36] yes my old wifi card never worked with default drivers so i used ndiswrapper and when put in new czard used it out of habit [18:36] btw ignore all the extra z's my keyboard is buggy on my laptop [18:36] reddeath68: run: sudo lshw -C network [18:37] ActionParsnip: Surely you can't maintain ppas with checkinstall? [18:37] reddeath68: what chip are you using? [18:37] pricey: you'd use checkinstall to make the deb then upload to the ppa [18:38] ActionParsnip: https://launchpad.net/ubuntu/+ppas says "upload Ubuntu source packages"?

[18:48] !java | UltimaKR [18:48] UltimaKR: To just use java you need a "Java Runtime Environment" (JRE) and/or a browser plugin. If that is not sufficient you will need a "Java Development Kit" (JDK) aka "Software Development Kit" (SDK). Please see https://help.ubuntu.com/community/Java about how to install one of three current implementations. [18:48] yep ill do output of second one now [18:49] ultimakr: even the most basic search for what I said will show you how.

Therefor I said you need alien too. [19:11] thependulum: if some of it is then you could buy a smaller storage and backup less.

[19:35] Phoenixxl: Heh, no :( I gave up and installed FreeNAS again, now buying a new HDD to back-up all the data and simply format the other disks [19:35] ok [19:35] My Linux HDD just failed. GRUB was installed on it. I have a blank HDD and one with Windows currently in. I'm on a live cd. How can I fix this?

[19:37] I was having trouble ssh-ing to my machine from others in the local network and got some help in here awhile ago. I thought I had it fixed, someone gave me a command to use to flush the firewall and I could ssh in as long as the firewall was off. After turning the firewall on at one point, it suddenly started blocking all traffic in and out for no discernible reason. So I apt-get purged ufw and gufw, rebooted and reinstalled both. I have NOT started ufw yet [19:37] and I have confirmed that it's not running, yet ssh connections into this machine are timing out again. Do I need to change something in iptables directly, or what? [19:37] great [19:37] ah, okay, kairos. You should just be able to install linux again on the blank CD [19:37] Phoenixxl: And meh I removed that volume, but it was there, yes [19:37] err, blank HDD [19:37] move your files to it [19:37] Hm [19:37] hey [19:37] thats all you had to do [19:37] move your fils to it [19:37] and presto [19:38] you jumped 99 walls of 100 [19:38] i'm trying to get the linux header files installed so I execute the command "sudo apt-get install linux-headers-$(uname -r)" [19:38] and came back [19:38] bean: I have 2 options in the Ubuntu installation.

[19:39] and it tells me the headers are already installed but when i go to the directory /usr/src/linux-headers-3.5.0-15... all the folders just contain makefiles and no headers [19:39] what;s going on?

Remember, ufw is not active, and I'm leery about enabling it without more information, since I knocked myself offline awhile ago without fiddling with any rules that I know of.

[20:51] how can i read system mail for root (security issues, server reports etc.) in ubuntu 13.04? [20:52] so /var/lib and /var/spool and that is about it then for me [20:52] starbuck, type "mail" ? :P [20:53] so what should i do as the new driver isnt zsupported and ndiswrapper wasnt working right? try the windows drivers from site as oppossed to the cd? [20:53] i3luefire, it depends on the software you're running. Maybe there are databases under /var/lib that you want to keep. [20:56] reddeath68, yeah, you could try that. Does the module just not load currently? or what does it do? [20:57] i3luefire, http://www.pathname.com/fhs/2.2/fhs-5.8.html http://www.pathname.com/fhs/2.2/ [20:58] floogy, ty [20:58] wildwind: it is running smoothly, thanks for all the help yesterday. [20:58] wildwind: [20:58] that is exactly what i needed [20:59] Any reason why(I guess lightdm) random freezes ? [20:59] not having any luck creating bootable disk, usb stick (just got 2 new usb sticks , lol) [20:59] s/random/randomly [20:59] doomlord__, from what OS, ubuntu? [20:59] the pc in question seems not to want to boot [20:59] doomlord__, how old is the pc? [20:59] Aww: what is the your login manager? [21:00] from ubuntu yes.. but i got ubuntu onto the target machine already, and yes its a core2-quad .. its a 'spare' machine but i'm using it to ttest a graphics card [21:00] wildwind: yesterday after helping me get the static/permissions fixed, you also informed me about webmin for connecting my server to a windows machine. Today I am finding out that webmin is not a good idea and is not suported. [21:00] before installing that card in my 'main' pc [21:00] matanya, its stock ubuntu 13.04 Not sure about the login manager [21:00] Aww: it is lightdm [21:00] wildwind: instead I was told to use Zentyal, what do you think? [21:00] TheUsD, yeah, i don't recommend it, in general you're going to want to use Samba or NFS to connect the two. [21:01] Aww: you can check using ps -ef |grep lightdm [21:01] its got ubuntu 12.10 on it; it doesn't seem to want to upgrade itself. also under 12.10 Unity (or other compositing WMs) doesn't work with this graphics card [21:01] doomlord__, ah, okay... And it has USB boot enabled int he bios? [21:01] yes; just been through bios settings and manual override (press f12...) [21:01] matanya, I'm sure it is. Thats what I restart to get the GUI to work again [21:01] bean: I ahve samba installed, but I do not know how to launch it. [21:01] What's the Ubuntu version of chkconfig? [21:01] it might just be "this pc" being stubborn.. i did make a usb stick for linux mint and install on another spare recently ... [21:01] Aww: any crashes? [21:02] I've tried gksudo samba and sudo samba but so far a no go [21:02] Hello. Is anyone here? [21:02] !samba | TheUsD [21:02] TheUsD: Samba is the way to cooperate with Windows environments. Links with more info: https://wiki.ubuntu.com/MountWindowsSharesPermanently and https://help.ubuntu.com/12.04/serverguide/C/windows-networking.html - Samba can be administered via the web with SWAT. [21:02] rypervenche: update-rc.d [21:02] Not sure whats it called. um whatever the ctrl-alt-f7 is, is what freezes everything not gui works [21:02] SPV2008: ask [21:02] matanya: Thank you. [21:03] rypervenche: FYI: http://askubuntu.com/questions/2263/chkconfig-alternative-for-ubuntu-server [21:03] how would you go about uinstalling a program? [21:03] I'm running ubuntu but it says that there is no wireless networks there, I'm guessing its a wireless adapter issue. It works fine when i run Kali Linux, Backtrack and Linux Mint, but not with Ubuntu. Any ideas of how to solve this? [21:03] TheUsD: sudo apt-get remove program [21:03] TheUsD sudo apt-get remove === MoTec_ is now known as MoTec [21:03] matanya was faster :) [21:04] All: thank you [21:04] SPV2008: what is your output of lspci? [21:04] one moment. [21:05] TheUsD, or sudo aptitude purge programhere [21:05] ah. hold on, its gotta finish doing something. [21:05] gross, aptitude. [21:05] :P [21:05] SPV2008: Paste it to some pastebin [21:05] can't. It has no internet connection [21:05] got you [21:05] although....could copy it word for word i suppose. [21:05] just write it out. [21:06] so pm it [21:06] pm it? [21:06] not to flood the channel [21:06] Oh, yeah. ok. [21:06] PM = private message [21:06] once its finished, i'll send you the pm. [21:06] http://paste.ubuntu.com/ [21:06] I can't paste it, i have no net connection [21:06] i'll have to write it all out. [21:06] Then do it. [21:06] MonkeyDust: he doesn't have network [21:07] :P lol. [21:07] SPV2008: Please don't flood; use http://paste.ubuntu.com to paste; don't use Enter as punctuation. [21:07] SPV2008: Take a photo of the screen? [21:07] bootable cd, bootable dcd .. same, right ? (i just burned a *dvd*) . silly question i know , just checking my assumptions , in the face of reason not working.. [21:07] hmm, now thats an idea. [21:07] squaregoldfish: you won't be able to see it [21:07] is there a GUI option to mounting drives for network use? [21:08] hmm. it might be a bit out of focus, true. [21:08] but i could try it. [21:08] TheUsD, i think you can do that in file explorer. [21:08] TheUsD: you can use nautilus [21:08] not 100% sure how, but tinker around and you can probably find it in there. :P [21:08] TheUsD: press CTRL + l and type the address [21:09] TheUsD: about year and half ago i was in your situation. i had to set up vps with openvpn to connect to. i chose to learn console commands to do my tasks and started to read mans. it has been taking a lot of time at first. but then it became easier i felt more and more assured. now, as you can see, i can even answer some questions :) [21:09] how do you private message on here? [21:10] I was looking to make the drives on the ubuntu machine avalible to the windows machine. [21:10] SPV2008 /msg nickname blah [21:10] ok, thanks. [21:10] wildwind: I understand commands, but I perfer to see what I'm doing as I type it too. [21:10] thats why I ask for GUI way too. [21:10] TheUsD: in the long run wildwind is right [21:11] it is much more effective and quick [21:11] SPV2008: next time use a normal client, it would be easier for you [21:11] TheUsD: Zentyal is OK too [21:12] http://www.zentyal.org/ === derp is now known as HANK_HILL === DouglasK is now known as DouglasKAway [21:18] TheUsD: however from security pov more services on host mean more threats [21:18] does anyone here know off hand if unity under 13.04 works on the gt640 [21:18] what's a gt640? [21:19] nvidia geforce gt640 [21:19] dooglus: it should [21:19] wildwind: I'm just looking to get my windows machine to see the drives over the network via their public static IP's [21:20] TheUsD: over the internet or within lan? [21:21] I want to run my ps3 controller on my laptop via usb and all the howtos are for bluetooth. [21:21] doomlord__, Nvidia has good driver support but they are theirs and they won't share them. If they ever cause problems you can only call Nvidia [21:21] even though its on the same managed switch, I'm going to use the statics as the address. [21:21] Anyone know what I need to do or have a link for a USB connect howto [21:22] doomlord__ in other words: contact nvidia and ask them [21:22] well - the card works - gl programs work - its just compositing window managers that dont work. i use gnome fallback or xfwm on this spare machine at the minute [21:22] TheUsD: static is ok, but public... think twice [21:22] on installing, ubuntu told me it unity didnt' support it.. [21:22] TheUsD, i've only ever played with motioninjoy on windows [21:22] ... funny thing is though, gl programs themselves work *fine* [21:23] TheUsD, i don't play games on linux [21:23] hi all -- Q: What is the latest version of compiz for Ubuntu 12.04 64Bit? [21:23] doomlord__, Unity is a work in progress to break compiz on every upgrade. [21:23] !info compiz precise [21:23] compiz (source: compiz): OpenGL window and compositing manager. In component main, is optional. Version 1:0.9.7.12-0ubuntu1 (precise), package size 3 kB, installed size 60 kB [21:24] MonkeyDust, I mean officially [21:24] because I dont have the $ with what I need, I am doing this way. this is my overall goal. [21:24] you can always use a ppa [21:24] heh. in fairness, i like xfwm aswell - but i *really* like global menu, which keeps me wanting unity. [21:24] 0.9.7.12? [21:24] Multbrelch look what the info says [21:24] thx ubottu [21:24] Hi! I will have multiple internet connections soon. One of them is fast but has limited traffic available, the other one is slow but has unlimited traffic available. To preserve the traffic available at connection 1, I'd like to forbid certain applications (steam, jDownloader) to use this connections, and only use the second one. Other applications (like browsers) should use the first connection, because it is faster. How would I conf [21:24] igure something like that? [21:25] i just tried linux mint on another PC, with xfwm setup - its nice... and i've got xfwm on ubuntu 12.04 , again useable but some mismatched themes [21:25] MonkeyDust, just done but I wanted to know the official one. I had a ppa version which I replaced. I wanted to be sure [21:25] Thx, MonkeyDust [21:25] doomlord__: unity may check driver for some specific feature it uses for effects, and decide on that. other programs may not need it [21:25] Multbrelch glad to help [21:25] i could stick with a crazy setup, 2 pcs side by side, one ssh-ing into the others filesystem, synergy keyboard/mouse sharing.. [21:26] So, 0.9.7.12 is the latest official one ... [21:26] Multbrelch supported on Precise, yes [21:26] k [21:26] So, I have done my work correctly :) [21:26] my "main" pc has a graphics card with only 2 monitor outputs (geforce 220); i'm after 4 monitors (and ability to use a screen further away, i.e. infront of treadmill) [21:26] I want to just make this linix box a DAS server for my windows machine, however I cant afford the SAS cards I need. So instead I installed linux and going to make it my mail server and also use it to store data. As I have a FTP windows server thats fitting all my needs, I would like the windows machine to have access to the drives on the linux machine. === Cybermaidloa is now known as Cyberspaceloa [21:27] jost, i am in the same situation as you [21:27] doomlord__, I am like an orphan looking for a new home since Unity; I have jumped to gnome2, gnome with tweaks, xfwm, and now messing with enlightenment .ha [21:27] doomlord__: I've considered getting a stationary bike to put in front of the desk, If I can get a proper stand for keyboard and mouse it should be great. [21:27] TheUsD: sounds like you want samba then [21:27] That way I can point the FTP server to use the linux drives as more storage space. [21:28] jost, what I did was , I installed virtual machine [21:28] Is Samba a GUI interface or strickly terminal? [21:28] and used that virtual machine to connect to the second internet connection [21:28] w30, of those , xfwm is my favourite - i like the few extra features it has eg mouse-wheel desktop sharing, and a 'stick window' icon. [21:28] my control enter isnt auto completing on firefox or chromium any idea? [21:28] TheUsD: iirc there is a gui manager should you prefer that. [21:28] jost, then on that virtual computer , I used KVM on ubuntu at first , [21:28] doomlord__, I love ubuntu though, it basically is the best in my book [21:28] Theusd: swat for gui [21:28] its just GlobalMenu that keeps me in unity... i have always utterly despised wintows style menu bars [21:29] i grew up on the Amiga, which had the menu in *the right place* [21:29] jost, I installed a socks proxy , and various clients [21:29] Phoenixxl: thanks, that is a good idea - I already have some VMs configured, so I'll just use one of them [21:30] As I appreciate everyones feedback and help, please keep in mind I am a 3 day old linux user. Been a windows user my whole life and left commands behind with windows 3.11 enhanced :-p [21:30] jost, i can connect using the second internet connection with a simple command on chrome [21:30] i also have a displaylink usb monitor dongle here... but it only nearly worked, and i hear it needs to reduce the bit-depth to 16 [21:31] TheUsD: you can just run ftp server on linux [21:31] TheUsD: as an option [21:31] TheUsD https://help.ubuntu.com/community/SwitchingToUbuntu/FromWindows [21:33] can someone help me with this really annoying problem? [21:34] shadykhan let's hear it! [21:34] MonkeyDust, so i just installed 13.04 and in neither browser firefox/chromium control enter doesnt auto complete the .com for me === Cyberspaceloa is now known as Cybermaidloa [21:35] TheUsD: if storage is all that you want from linux box, try FreeNAS or NAS4Free distros. they have everything built-in (including ftp) and working out of the box. and a nice web UI [21:36] TheUsD: including Samba, iSCSI, bit-torrent ant other ways to share disks and files [21:36] wildwind: can the linux FTP compare to something like this www.wftpserver.com/comparison.htm [21:36] jost, strat chrome with --proxy-server="socks5://Virtualmachine:1080" --proxy-bypass-list="192.168.1.0/24" [21:36] jost, if your local subnet is 192.168.1 [21:37] jost, I have the same setup for VPN's also , a virtual compuer per country [21:37] jost, they use very little cpu time ? I use ubuntu server + shorewall.. they manage on 200 meg of mem [21:37] wildwind: you should try the demo they have. Its a very simple but powerful program. [21:38] Phoenixxl: actually, just running the apps in a VM and allow the VM to only use the correct connection will suffice for now :-) [21:38] jost, for socks I use dante , and also map a few ports using SOCAT [21:39] jost, when you eventually get to that , you never know , youll have somewhere to start looking [21:39] shadykhan did not find it in system settings, or in chromium settings, so try logout and back in [21:39] MonkeyDust, logged out and restarted multiple times [21:39] I am trying to help a friend mount a HFS+ formated hard drive connected via USB. Read-only is fine, he's just trying to rescue some files from a drive out of a dead MacBook. How do I determine what /dev/ device the USB is drive? [21:39] Howdy y'all. Happy Memorial Day :) [21:41] What's that ? [21:41] Is that some local thing? [21:42] i was fiddling with chattr and now i can' change rights on a folder with chmod/chown [21:42] Like "My secretary has big bazonka's day" ? [21:42] Phoenixxl it's american, on the last monday of may [21:42] I know the mount command "sudo mount -r -t hfsplus /dev/*something* /media/" I just need to determine what the *something* is. [21:42] less /etc/mtab [21:42] Q: every so often, my laptop freezes but the mouse pointer is movable and I need to restart. What does this mean? [21:43] w30: Are you talking to me? [21:43] Ok .. a special holiday for the special 4% :P [21:43] voxadam, sudo fdisk -l should give the sdX [21:43] I find the "invite an indian and make him eat turkey" holiday great as well [21:43] echoe what ubuntu version? [21:44] Phoenixxl, Memorial Day is a day in which we remember and celebrate the sacrifices of the service of our veterans. [21:44] 13.04 [21:44] voxadam, works for me [21:44] voxadam: or use Disks utility [21:44] New, only a few programs.

Please use #ubuntu-offtopic for other topics (though our !guidelines apply there too). Thanks! [21:44] w30: Doesn't /etc/mtab only contain mounted file systems? I'm trying to figure out what sdX the unmounted drive is so that I can pass it to the mount command. [21:45] voxadam tried dmesg | grep sd ? [21:46] voxadam, try sudo blkid [21:46] echoe, next time that happens , ssh to the thing if you have another computer [21:46] blkid does not rquire sudo [21:46] echoe, and tail the syslog or something.. [21:46] voxadam, my ubuntu automounts usb drives so ... [21:46] Luckily, I don't really. Bleh. Maybe will grab a box. === Guest44181 is now known as Computron_ [21:47] echoe, check the syslog at the very least [21:47] wildwind, I simply said Happy Memorial Day and gave a very brief explanation of what we remember and celebrate. Its not really a discussion. And as for veterans like myself, nobody embraces the importance in their hearts more than we do. That's all I will say on the subject matter. Now good day to you and God bless. [21:47] MonkeyDust, try it without sudo [21:47] echoe, look for dumps and things that look like cpu registry content.. [21:48] anyone online?> [21:48] BluesKaj no difference, with or without sudo [21:48] echoe, things that go inside out look very distinct [21:48] elichev: Several hundreds, as "/names" reveal.

[21:58] qtsixa should get it to work via usb too but doesnt [21:58] KxTwo only 10 people in ##sony, for PS3 related things, looks like you're out of luck [22:01] I am looking ta some thread here from someone saying he just plugged it in and it worked [22:01] but the caveat is in general the sensitivity is too great [22:01] that it gets messed up [22:01] i'm sure you read it ? [22:01] http://ubuntuforums.org/showthread.php?t=1745206 [22:02] if you do aptitude update, would i also gotta do apt-get update?

[22:07] hmmm, thx for the input Phoenixxl [22:08] only combining sony and ubuntu together would you get a scenario where bluetooth is easier than usb [22:09] midnightmagic, when i installed the kvm environment i had the possibility to choose qemu or kvm as emulator [22:09] midnightmagic, kvm machines were much smoother === linuxthefish` is now known as linuxthefish [22:10] KxTwo dont you need to press to clear all them green lights [22:10] Phoenixxl: For qemu-1.5.0?

I just want to do this for this specific file [22:26] matanya: i do after installing grub but switching from yaboot to grub2 looks non-trivial (at least for me) [22:26] Phoenixxl: In specific, I'm seeing the aligned write problem, error booting NetBSD 6.1 x86, with pci_make_tag: bad request [22:27] robottinosino: it is not so trivial, but doable [22:27] wildwind: how do I use gparted to do that? anytime I go near /dev/sdaf1, it stops me [22:27] Hey guys. Can someone help me get my Sound Blaster ZX to work in Ubuntu 12.04? [22:28] midnightmagic, have you considered installing IET iscsitarget , then share your storage on that . [22:28] midnightmagic, it doesn't use a virtual controller [22:28] Phoenixxl: I've got a raw lvm volume group that the installer (at least) managed to successfully install to. [22:28] Phoenixxl: So I know it *can* work at any rate. [22:28] rmobenchain: what is sdaf1? [22:29] his cdrom [22:29] sdf1 rather. sorry [22:29] *smacks my typist* sorry [22:30] midnightmagic, i had to stop using KvM , though it's the best option atm imo [22:30] Phoenixxl: What are you using now? virtualbox or something? [22:30] midnightmagic, memory just isn't managed as it should [22:30] I am having trouble with my Sound Blaster ZX card. It's detected, but no sound comes out [22:31] pyguy: creative can be a pain to get nice. totally not worth it [22:31] What's a good SFTP client for ubuntu? [22:31] Filezilla? [22:32] Yeah, but I spent $150 on the card, so I hope to get it working one way or another [22:32] matanya: my skills are trivial, put it that way :) i updated the /etc/yaboot.conf and rebooted.. is there an equiv. to update-grub for yaboot? [22:32] rmobenchain: can you select partition in gparted, right-click, remove it? [22:32] thete: nautilus can connect to sftp [22:32] pyguy: pretty cheap [22:32] ActionParsnip, oh cool, thanks :) [22:32] wildwind: lemme try real quick [22:32] sudo ybin -v i suppose :( [22:33] robottinosino: not very familiar with yaboot [22:33] Well, I need some help regardless. [22:33] I can't select the delete option [22:33] matanya: no problem, mate. thank you for paying attention anyway. :) [22:33] :) [22:33] pyguy: what is the output of: wget -O alsa-info.sh http://www.alsa-project.org/alsa-info.sh && chmod +x ./alsa-info.sh && ./alsa-info.sh --upload [22:33] Thete: yes, that is good [22:34] thete: unlike the windows file manager, nautilus actually has some decent features [22:34] wildwind: only options I have when right clicking are 'unmount, manage flags, and information' [22:34] http://www.alsa-project.org/db/?f=02b03f6da21ec0656b8ed41e9186d2604bb5b26f [22:34] pyguy: you are using a 3rd party kernel, which we cannot support [22:35] rmobenchain: ok, you should unmount before any other action on it [22:35] Thete: you can use nautilus using : CTRL + l and type sftp://connectionadress [22:35] Does the PPC version of Ubuntu use yaboot? [22:35] Third party? I'm using the raring kernel [22:35] wildwind: tried to unmount, and got 'umount: /cdrom: device is busy. (In some cases useful info about processes that use the device is found by lsof(8) or fuser(1))' [22:35] pyguy: yes in Precise [22:35] Alrighty, lemme switch back [22:36] pyguy: using Raring kernel in Raring is fine [22:36] matanya, Works, great, thanks :) [22:37] rmobenchain: you've selected wrong partition. [22:37] hi! would any of you know of a auto tune or voice changer that affects in real time for skype or any other recording device? [22:37] wildwind: that is the only one that shows up on gparted [22:37] rmobenchain: 'hard drive' you said [22:37] for that ransom message [22:37] rmobenchain: hmm [22:38] wildwind: that is why I want to delete everything I can, and start from scratch [22:38] pyguy: do you use the onboard sound? [22:38] np Thete [22:38] i would like to get rid of network-manager and configure my home-server's wifi "statically", could anybody help, please? [22:38] i have worked through a tutorial that uses wpa supplicant but broke things and just had to reinstall [22:38] looks like you're running gparted not from root [22:39] now i am back to a fresh install, with wifi working using network-manager [22:39] robottinosino: why not use network manager? [22:39] robottinosino: if you remove nm and brake things you won't have network to fix it [22:39] ActionParsnip: would you know of a software that acts like a autotune or voice changer in real time? for recording softwares like skype or such? [22:40] because nm sometimes fails to reconnect if the network gets flaky [22:40] ActionParsnip: i hope this answers your question. [22:40] ActionParsnip: http://www.alsa-project.org/db/?f=cc91987e4eb5a2123b93d12050ffa35b71a6a0fb [22:40] robottinosino: it won't help [22:40] wildwind: on gparted I now have unallocated partition showing 372.61 GiB free [22:40] evilytwisted: i dont do any sound production at all, sorry [22:40] matanya: what will not help? [22:40] i know you dont im just wondering if you know of any [22:40] robottinosino: removing the nm [22:40] pyguy: still the raring kernel in precise. [22:41] matanya: oh. :( my plan is entirely wrong then [22:41] evilytwisted no idea at all. sorry [22:41] rmobenchain: oh, what device is selected in combobox on top right [22:41] How to I go back? I deleted the kernel in Synaptic [22:41] pyguy: try rebooting. [22:41] robottinosino: better fix the issue, than remove the software [22:41] ActionParsnip: I did [22:41] pyguy: also disable the onboard soundcard [22:41] pyguy: im asuming you dont use it [22:41] rmobenchain: that looks like your hdd [22:42] rmobenchain: if it all is unallocated then your 'erase' mission is complete [22:42] pyguy: why are you adding kernels which are not intended for your release [22:42] wildwind: I have /dev/sda showing 372.61 GiB and /dev/sdf showing 1.80 GiB [22:43] ActionParsnip: Because the default kernel doesn't detect my sound card [22:43] rmobenchain: sdf is your liveusb i suppose [22:43] pyguy: the only kernels supported for Precise are the ones from the repos which are made for that release [22:43] wildwind: and sda is my root? (isn't that what it's called?" [22:44] errr boot I mean [22:44] or something [22:44] PyGuy: better fixing your kernel than using the wrong one [22:44] pyGuy which version of precise ? [22:44] rmobenchain: it's your hard disk [22:45] Phoenixxl: 12.04.2 [22:45] and you think sdf is my usb? [22:45] PyGuy, if you install with 12.04.1 you get a 3.2 kernel if you install with 12.04.2 you get a 3.5 [22:45] PyGuy, it's been the silliest idea ubuntu team ever had imo .. [22:45] pyguy: install Raring and you will have the 3.8 kernel by default [22:45] rmobenchain: there will be 'root' after installing something [22:45] PyGuy, since you keep upgrading in the same direction , you don't go from 3.2 to 3.5 [22:46] phoenixxl: you can install the backport and get 3.5 [22:46] wildwind: so I shoudl be good with my install now eh? I'm hoping *crossing fingers* [22:46] rmobenchain: gl [22:46] ActionParsnip, yes , but in principle if ind it very meh [22:46] phoenixxl: why? as long as the kernel works, who cares === ergofobe is now known as Guest60078 [22:47] thanks wildwind. appreciate the help. will be back if it fails. LOL [22:47] ActionParsnip, the kernel working is not the argument [22:47] phoenixxl: whats new in the 3.5 kernel (without searching the web)? [22:47] ActionParsnip, let's not simplify it to that [22:48] ActionParsnip, 3.5 is a "dead end" kernel [22:48] phoenixxl: thats what it is though. if you dont benefit (or even know) what is different in the 3.5 kerenl, why or how is it 'meh'? [22:49] ActionParsnip, imo , and taking quite a few things into consideration , people shouldn't be suckered into a 3.5 kernel [22:50] ActionParsnip, it's not the end of the world , indeed .. But when I want stable , I prefer stable "thats being worked on" [22:51] Phoenixxl: want stable, use debian :) === felipe__ is now known as Spirox [22:51] matanya, yes.. [22:51] matanya, yes but :) .. i like ubuntu ease of use [22:51] phonixxl: the devs will push an upgrade when it is good. dont worry about version numbers too much [22:52] ActionParsnip, i am not "worrying" [22:52] ActionParsnip, I am speaking from experience [22:53] phoenixxl: same, as long as the kernel works its fine [22:53] * Dr_willis wonders if the HDMI fixs have finally made it into the 13.04 repos kernels. [22:53] ugh. am back === linuxthefish is now known as linuxthefish` [22:54] ActionParsnip, lol [22:54] am still getting a 'input/output error read on /dev/sda' message during install. how do i correct this? [22:54] flash only shows on half the screen with all crazy colors.. firefox with the newest firefox/flash installed [22:54] how cab i fix this [22:54] mobenchain: sounds like a bad drive [22:55] karlmhaines, common 'fix' is to disable hardware acceleration in the flash player menus/settings [22:55] Anyone know how to install cairo-compmgr in ubuntu? [22:56] kalhaines: what is the output of: lsb_release -a; uname -a; dpkg -l | egrep 'flash|gnash|swf|spark' [22:56] ActionParsnip, I'm sorry , I don't have a denigrating attitude towards users. Neither do I think them simpletons. A cos is a Cow. I am sam. Green eggs and ham. Sam I am. [22:56] karlhaines: please use a pastebin for the command above [22:57] phoenixxl: me neither. i dont see how thats relevant. Ive moved on... [22:57] ActionParsnip, I do not stand above such things. === shomonn is now known as shomon [23:00] when I do fdisk -l, nothing lists [23:00] ActionParsnip: http://pastebin.com/EL7EsAyZ [23:00] rmobenchain: it needs sudo [23:01] karlmhaines: uninstall those packages then install only adobe-flashplugin [23:03] hello [23:04] I need help with changing folder permissions for a program [23:04] !permissions [23:04] An explanation of what file permissions are and how they can be manipulated can be found at https://help.ubuntu.com/community/FilePermissions [23:05] Unless you want to give us more details. ;) [23:05] i do! [23:05] I want to create a directory from the statisical program R [23:05] but I get the error: [23:06] In dir.create("D") : cannot create dir 'D', reason 'Permission denied' [23:06] Phoenixxl: Applying the patch via quilt and rebuilding the .deb manually has corrected the issue on my 12.04.2 system. I wonder what the chances of getting the patch backported are.. [23:07] I am relatively new to ubuntu [23:07] !seen a [23:07] I have no seen command [23:07] Guest40090, the directory that 'D' is in - most likely has the incorrect permissions to allow your user sccess [23:07] midnightmagic, is it in 12.10 13.04 ? [23:07] the command in R is: dir.create("D") [23:07] working directory is /home [23:07] Guest40090, you may want to use the full path. NOT /home/ which is NOT the same as /home/username/ [23:07] Phoenixxl: Lemme check, I'll give you a ful version string. DISTRIB_DESCRIPTION="Ubuntu 12.04.2 LTS" [23:08] a users 'home' is /home/theusersname [23:08] midnightmagic, or maybe there's a ppa [23:08] Phoenixxl: Oh, sorry I misread your question. [23:08] midnightmagic, having to patch something up every time your system farts is a real pain [23:08] Phoenixxl: I'm not sure where else it exists. I looked for a PPA but did not find any.. so far. [23:08] awesome! [23:08] Phoenixxl: I don't mind it. I'm from BSD-land, that's normal there. [23:08] now can you break it down why the username is required? [23:09] anybody familiar with setting up Maas?? [23:09] midnightmagic, i live everywhere :) [23:09] what does ppa stand for? [23:09] midnightmagic, not excluding a still running AS40 at work [23:09] AS400 [23:09] Guest40090, when in doubt give the FULL path.. you said '/home/ which a user does not have rights to.. they have rghts to their "home" which is /home/theusersname [23:09] ah ha. [23:09] Phoenixxl: Yikes. The weird native filesystem on those is weird. [23:10] $home = system variable that expands to /home/theusername also.

Does that count? [23:10] thank you all. [23:10] midnightmagic, I had a 6 node BBS running Amiexpress ! [23:10] i have a fresh 12.04.2 server installed and the maas-import-isos fails to import the emphemerals every single time with a failure to find /var/lib/tftpboot (which as i understand it tftpd-hpa isn't required due to the phython twisted being installed) and apparmor is throwing errors in syslog with DENIED trying to mkdir /var/lib/tftpboot [23:11] i will return soon i imagine. [23:11] midnightmagic, i got rid of all my old stuff like that. when a tree took out the garrage storeing them all. ;( [23:11] Phoenixxl: Hah, I had a 1-node Max's BBS. [23:11] midnightmagic, i still have the USRobotics Dual standards in the attic [23:11] Dr_willis: Hopefully nobody was hurt. [23:11] Hello, I have a question. Every now and then on either of my browsers (Chrominum and firefox) I will lose connection randomly. But, in the software centre, or anything else, everything is fine. And, I don';t understand why it is doing that. [23:11] midnightmagic, the huge stacks of junk held up the roof from hitting the car. ;P [23:12] midnightmagic, growi ng up with an "underdog" system you loves makes you open to variety :) [23:12] Phoenixxl: I still have my SupraFax 14.4 v.32bis. It knows how to redial faster than anything and can detect a busy signal before the first beep is even done. It was really good for touchtone telereg before internet course registration existed. [23:12] sup fools [23:12] lol [23:13] Okay I'll stop diverting topic. Thanks for the help. [23:13] Hello, I have a question. Every now and then on either of my browsers (Chrominum and firefox) I will lose connection randomly. But, in the software centre, or anything else, everything is fine. And, I don';t understand why it is doing that. [23:13] midnightmagic, at some point I had an a4000 running on UAE and a java telnet client connecting to it [23:14] midnightmagic, i got frustrated it didn't have the right font , and no zmodem support .. one day i'll give it another go [23:14] Nick56x, clarify what you mean by lose connection? in some app IN the browser you lose connection? or what. [23:14] midnightmagic, A-Max got me interested in emulators and flowing from that hypervisors [23:15] A-Max.. what's that now? [23:15] midnightmagic, Mac emulator [23:15] Like, I'll get server not found, or website not available. And I have Ubuntu and Windows dualbooted, and I do not have any problems on Windows... Could it be a compatibility issue with my wireless adapter? Dr_willis [23:15] Phoenixxl: Was that the one done by that poor universally-despised Drew character? [23:16] I think that was Fusion [23:16] Ah, no. It was Shapeshifter. Jim Drew. [23:16] /shrug [23:17] I remember Sheepshaver [23:17] Nick56x, if it was a wireless disconnecting. you would notice it in all apps. have a terminal open thats pinging some site every 5 sec or so.. and just watch and see if the n etwork goes down every so often. [23:17] Shapeshifter .. it rings a bell but can't remember details [23:17] Dr_willis, hm, I am a noob to ubuntu. =P What would be the command for that? [23:17] midnightmagic, we're getting somewhat off topic though [23:17] Nick56x, 'ping somesite' === smoke is now known as smoke_ [23:17] Dr_willis, thanks. [23:18] midnightmagic, I sent you a PM about what i'm useing now [23:18] check the options for ping to tell it to ping slowly over time. not constant. ;) [23:21] if ping never dies/fails.. then it sounds like a dns issue, or could be some odd web site issue [23:22] I just think it's odd. Sometimes I can connect to any website, and sometimes, I can't [23:23] if wiureless was dropping, there would be a message at the top right i thought. [23:23] Yeah, so that can't be it. [23:23] like a disconnect notification [23:24] I changed an option in my browser.... Hope that solves it, because, it's getting annoying, lol. [23:24] Woops, my mistake. Jim Drew didn't do ShapeShifter nor Basilisk. Just wanted to clarify.. [23:25] Hm, I installed a driver that is for my adapter. I need to restart, so I will reconnect in a minute, and hopefully, that will fix the issue. [23:27] try differnt browsers. [23:27] Dr_willis where did you acquire all of your knowledge? [23:28] reading and reading.. and.. reading... [23:28] and playing with computers for years [23:28] do you have windows skills as well? [23:28] or mostly linux? [23:29] Its hard to exist in this world witout some windows skills.. [23:29] not so hard Dr_willis [23:29] ive used windows 8 for all of 8 min.. :) took me all that time to figure out how to setup networking for a guy at work on it. [23:29] you can ignore windows [23:29] No you cant ignore what you may need to use to do a job... [23:30] the best thing it takes 6 clicks to reboot [23:30] windows 8 is a toy interface, don't see why businesses would want that os [23:30] Have u used windows nt 3.51 Dr Willis [23:31] I missed the whole OS/2 and NT stuff.. [23:31] I was on my Amiga up untill windows 95 ;) [23:31] Back in the days of actual DIALUP ISP [23:31] Hm, I installed the driver, and I'm stil having problems.... Must be my browser. [23:31] Nick56x, try other browsers. [23:31] Dr_willis: I have, 2 different ones. :P [23:32] i got like 4 installed.. [23:32] heh [23:32] what is Nick56x 's issue? [23:32] clarify what exactly happens Nick56x .. you just click on a link and sometimes it dosent see/find the url.. but clicking a 2nd time works? [23:32] I will randomly lose connection to websites. Where, I am still connected to everything else. [23:32] thats not 'loseing connection' [23:33] you timeout [23:33] unless you mean you have a chat app. or video stream thats streaming FROM a site that disconnects [23:33] Either way, this only happens on Linux. So, it could be a compatibility issue, setting, or something else. [23:33] sounds more like a dns/lookup type timeout. [23:33] More than likely. [23:34] do you a fixed dns server? [23:34] change dns servers perhaps. [23:34] He, um, how would I do that exactly? [23:34] gui or command line? [23:34] network manger settings has the settings [23:34] your call :) [23:34] I tend to use googles dns servers. 8.8.8.8 and err.. i forget the other.. [23:35] 4.4.4.4 [23:35] or use one from google and one from opendns. ;) [23:35] 4.4.2.2 [23:35] With stuff like that, I am a complete noob. XD [23:35] but in the newer releases of ubuntu i thought there was some cacheing dns server installed by default [23:36] sudo echo "nameserver 8.8.8.8" >> /etc/resolve.conf [23:36] Nick56x: ^ [23:37] hi #ubuntu [23:37] hello wes_ [23:37] messing with resolv.conf by hand. may not survive a reboot any more ;) [23:37] ok, i have an ubuntu server vps...root was enabled. i want to revert to sudo functionality...what commands can i run to add a user, make them sudo-able, then disable root? [23:38] does anyone know what an ubuntu is? [23:38] I set up network manager to use dhcp for the ip. but static for dns. [23:38] good approach as well Dr_willis [23:39] dark_djinn: useradd nameofuser [23:39] where is network manager in gnome? [23:39] tones: in the panel [23:40] matanya, then? [23:40] dark_djinn: usermod +g wheel [23:40] assuming wheel is in sudo [23:40] Hm, I followed this thread: http://ubuntuforums.org/showthread.php?t=2078398 And hopefully it worked. lol [23:40] its not 'wheel' in ubuntu [23:40] if not, vi /etc/sudoers and add accordingly [23:40] !sudo [23:40] sudo is a command to run command-line programs with superuser privileges ("root") (also see !cli).

[23:45] yes wired connection [23:45] good, click edit [23:45] go to ipv4 settings [23:45] Anyone watching the Blackhawks and Detroit game? [23:46] ok [23:46] and change the method to automatic address only [23:46] ok, got my sudoer going, now how do i disable root? [23:46] destination relaxatin [23:46] relaxation [23:46] and in the dns add 8.8.8.8, save and exit [23:47] sudo passwd -dl root [23:47] only way to add an address is to choose manual [23:47] it was already on automatic address [23:47] you don't need the address, just the dns tones [23:48] choose the automatic address only [23:49] and then, in the dns servers section add 8.8.8.8 [23:49] dark_djinn: did you see my reply? [23:49] Hey, is anyone here good with Python ?
