[00:00] Linux does uefi just fine, but I found windows can really screw up the whole ordeal [00:00] I just went thru the same issue with a nice hp laptop [00:00] sad really [00:00] The best solution is to just get rid of Windows all together :) [00:00] this vaio is pretty nice for $600 lol [00:01] the best option now is to build a pc [00:01] I got a core-17 (3rd gen) 17 inch laptop, with 12GB of ram, for 650 bucks. i had to jump on it [00:01] i wish i could get rid of windows lol [00:01] you don't pay for windows, get a better case and save some extra money [00:01] 17" is too big for me [00:01] my 15" thinkpad feels huge [00:01] I'm just fine on my 14.1" :) [00:01] I love my X41, 12" [00:01] Also can have two internal hard drives. It came with 1TB but i added a 256SSD by samsung [00:02] itunes plus adobe keeps me on windows some of the time [00:02] Quix86, I use my laptop as a desktop most of the time [00:02] Its also a second monitor [00:02] I don't really find SSD useful [00:02] wtf? [00:02] I used to do that, I've got a mITX desktop now [00:02] The speed increase is beyond noticable [00:02] it gets messed up pretty fast compared with HDD when it's almost full [00:02] lol [00:02] I won't buy a storage to get messed up for using it [00:03] Why would you use a SSD for normal data storage? it would cost a mint [00:03] sianhulo, look into TRIM [00:03] the only use it could have is for the boot partition, and it's too expensive to use it just for that [00:03] and yes stop keeping things like videos and music on it [00:03] I have 4 SSD's, 2 in 2 laptops, and 2 in my desktop [00:03] They are used EVERY day [00:03] No problems [00:03] Why just the boot partition? Use it for the whole OS [00:03] But putting your mp3s and video on is just pointless [00:03] n0yd, they obviously won't get famaged in a year or 2, whow ould buy them otherwise?they still last less than hdd [00:04] And I have way to much video and music to fit on a single ssd anyway [00:04] sianhulo, They are stupidly worth it for the speed increase [00:04] You only need like 64GB to run a whole OS [00:04] sianhulo, the point of an SSD is to keep files that the system accesses on a regular basis, like the OS and games [00:04] not in my country [00:04] Or even windows and linux [00:04] sianhulo, a 256GB here ranges from 75 cents to a dollar a GB [00:05] sometimes a little more. Depends on where you are buying, and what brand/model [00:05] but yeah it is becoming the norm everywhere else [00:05] n0yd, *there* [00:05] I generally stick with the Samsung 830s and 840s [00:05] sianhulo, what country do you live in again? [00:05] venezuela [00:05] thank you for giving money to WILLIAMS formula 1 team [00:06] otherwise yes, living in a communist country will generally make things expensive [00:06] hmmmmm off to backup music [00:06] I don't even know where to start when talking about formula 1 [00:07] You sent us a driver that hits people and gives money to a zombie, that's all you need to know [00:07] is you critic so much the rich and the empire, why do you spend so much in formula 1?even more, why do you waste money in someone who keeps crashing? [00:07] that's beyond me [00:07] Oh yuck! I'm on the phone w/ microsoft licensing asking about getting a system builder subscription/partner subscription [00:07] Ask frankie W, I don't know [00:07] oh gag me! [00:08] ClientAlive, calling India are we? [00:08] ;) [00:08] * rypervenche gags ClientAlive. [00:08] the only good that has done is to prove the cars security [00:08] pretty much man --lol [00:08] ClientAlive: ask them if they want to talk to the Windows Technical Support people [00:08] no doubt [00:08] Microsoft's partner program is the pits [00:08] He did win a race though, somehow [00:08] Maldozor doesn't belong in F1 [00:09] but yes he keeps giving money to williams, and williams hates any driver that doesn't give them tons of money [00:09] it's no like I want anything to do with helping microsoft, but that's how I make my $ [00:09] Quix86, he once did a demonstration here, it was some kind of celebration Not even a race [00:09] what can you do? [00:09] Quix86, guess what?he crashed === witquicked_ is now known as witquicked [00:09] ClientAlive, tell them you went to install Exchange sever, but it said "Requirements: Windows NT or better" so you thought Linux would be more than adequate, but it wont run, so you want a refund [00:10] I try to direct every customer I get to linux, to ubuntu specifically - but they won't listen [00:10] I used to love messing with the microsoft support people. See how long I could keep them on the line [00:10] ClientAlive, I understand it, Im in a similar field [00:10] yup === alchemy is now known as Guest9780 [00:11] ClientAlive, I even give them money for a TechNet Subscription, so I can access all their apps and operating systems... *yuvk* [00:11] yuck* === DouglasKz is now known as DouglasK === DouglasK is now known as Guest21361 [00:12] But, it pays the biils [00:13] Anyone ever use Moneydance? I just noticed it is available for Linux [00:13] It looks quite nice for a financial app [00:14] n0yd: Could you please stick to Ubuntu support in here, if you want to chat there is #ubuntu-offtopic [00:14] Um, I have been providing support. [00:15] hi. when i try to recursively chmod a directory to 0777 or 0755 or anything according to the method described in 'man chmod', i get the return: chmod: invalid mode: ‘+R’ [00:15] And asking for support ;) [00:15] n0yd, freenode is the fourth reich [00:15] for example, if i enter: chmod +R 0777 '/var/www/symbiose/boot/' [00:15] I have an inspiron 15 (1545) and 12.10 seems to be running pretty slowly on it, any way I can find out why? [00:15] n0yd: Not saying you haven't. Just asking that you do only support in here and keep the extra chatter out of here. [00:15] This isn't quite Ubuntu based, but I'm looking for a quick bit of help with LibreOffice. [00:16] what syntax do i need to properly chmod recursively these directories to 0777? [00:16] Right before I go to the trouble of patching a kernel [00:16] is there any -easier- way to lower the voltage on my chip in linux? [00:16] Quix86, oh I am well aware. Been here for over 12 years [00:16] Quix86, no there isnt [00:16] piss [00:17] Besides letting speedstep do it, which are just preprogramed voltages [00:17] Specifically, I need to figure out how, if possible, to use Sup- and Sub-script text. The formatting options seem a bit more sparse than I'm used to with Microsoft Office. [00:17] chaotix anytime you run into trouble with a command ask the man e.g. man chmod in a terminal [00:17] Hello,,Can someone answer this questions for me , 1) How is Ivy Bridge hardware support with ubuntu ? 2) Im using nvidia Do I need to remove the sli bridge ? 3) How do I know everything is working properly ? 4) I use Virtual Machine for work if i transfer it from my windows system will it work ? [00:18] I want to say there is a program that you can use with PHC that allows you to change the voltages used with each speedstep setting [00:18] which will be a pain to set up, I'm sure [00:18] ya there is [00:18] Disregard my previous. Re-wording my Help search is all it took. [00:18] but, you have to have a phc kernel [00:18] does ndiswrapper work in 13.04? I wanted to try it for a flaking usb wireless. [00:19] actually [00:19] johnjohn101, i dont see why not [00:19] you know what? [00:19] chaotix, in general 777 is a bad idea. [00:19] I'm gonna try 3.2 [00:19] and if that doesn't work then I'll just get 12.04 [00:19] how old is that writeup you're reading johnjohn101 [00:19] Quix86, go ahead. But beware of what i said before [00:19] Quix86, if you need help compiling the kernel, i can help you [00:20] Quix86, make sure to install linux-firmware and linux-firmware-nonfree incase you need any of them with the 3.2 kernel [00:20] betrayd: this is the writeup http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=hBZa17yvl7o [00:20] n0yd frankly I'd rather just do a fresh install, I'm gonna have to do another one in a day or two [00:20] hello? [00:20] Quix86, whys that? [00:20] because I've got a CF>PATA adapter coming in [00:21] I've got a thinkpad X41 and it uses 1.8" drives [00:21] those are -horrible- [00:21] yup [00:21] so I've got a 8gb rather fast CF card sitting here [00:21] So you are gonna use CF for a drive? [00:21] betrayd, in 'man chmod' is says to use -R or --recursive [00:21] and hopefully it'll do the job [00:21] it's a lot cheaper than a PATA SSD [00:21] I can use a SD card for more space and a total of 40gb is plenty [00:21] i use a 8GB class 10 SD for swap [00:22] Quix86, Im actually looking at a mini pci-e SSD for my Thinkpad T500 [00:22] swap will kill it pretty quick I think... I need to learn how to set up a ramdisk as well [00:22] n0yd: you're not worried about wearing that SD card out? [00:22] johnjohn101, nah, its a sd card, like 4 bucks, lol [00:22] And I rarely swap [00:22] I jhave 8GB of ram, only time I needx swap is when building android [00:23] ive not managed to wear out a sd card on my raspberrypi yet. ;) thats all it uses.. with swap partion even.. [00:23] yup [00:23] I do the same with my pi [00:23] plus ive found 32gb sdhc cards on sale for under $20 but i tend to use $5 8gb cards on the pi [00:23] chaotix ya its uppercase [00:24] does the pi have a SDXC or whatever the new one is? I was doing research the other day and there are faster SD cards available with that [00:24] ji [00:24] betrayd, i got it working [00:24] I got some 64B class 10's off ebay for like 24 buckjs [00:24] speaking of pie [00:24] I use them for backups [00:24] Quix86: just sdhc. i use the 4 speed and 10 speed cards [00:24] Micro sd's rather [00:24] im trying out installing symbiose on my Ubuntu server [00:24] n0yd: name brand or off brand? [00:24] nice chaotix thanks to the man [00:24] yeah [00:24] anyone know an easy way to turn a Pi into a pxe/TFTP server for Ubuntu? [00:24] johnjohn101, name brand [00:25] betrayd, i was doing +R instead of -R [00:25] Im thinking of reinstalling a fresh server image, straight from the net [00:25] Iceman_B: install rasbian, then install the needed packages ;) i guess.. [00:25] start by tajking out the word 'easy' [00:25] dr_willis: that'll do the trick yeah? [00:25] I wish my Gnexus had external SD [00:25] Any1 knows what type of encryption hash this is: :B:a16634f1:e10626a1f8070171d17f25c064347b64 ???????????? [00:25] But lots of devices are moving to non removable media [00:25] dr_willis: one day i'll get my rasp pi up and running [00:26] I got one for Xmas [00:26] company gift [00:26] ...but its collecting dust dor now ._. [00:26] *for [00:26] Any1 knows what type of encryption hash this is: :B:a16634f1:e10626a1f8070171d17f25c064347b64 ???????????? [00:26] this bad boy is running smoothe now [00:26] ive been using the Plex-Pi thing last week - it seems to be a handy tool.. if you use the plex media server [00:26] mine is sitting on my desk. no time. messing around with 13.04 now [00:26] I suppose I could use it as a media server, but I need to hook up external storage [00:27] or, use my existing server as a datastore [00:27] for reference, ya'll should check out: https://github.com/symbiose/ [00:27] I use my gnexus more than my pi. I can hook up my gnexus to my TV via hdmi with bluetooth keyboard and mouse. Its just easier forsimple stuf than the pi. But the pi is a great little hobby [00:27] Pi Makes a handy spare SSH terminal also ;) [00:27] bye for now [00:27] ...but first I need to revive the OS drive :/ [00:27] thanks [00:27] dr_willis, heh, i use myrouter for that all the time [00:27] Any1 knows what type of encryption hash this is: :B:a16634f1:e10626a1f8070171d17f25c064347b64 ???????????? [00:27] cya [00:27] My router also does all of my usenet and torrents, with 2x2TB drives attached [00:28] Learningg: please.. spam the same question more often.... or perhaps ask in #linux since its not really #ubuntu specific [00:28] speaking of OS disk [00:28] is there a surefire way to tell my HDD is dying? [00:28] smart? [00:29] my filesystem keeps getting corrupted, but smart doesnt show anything decissive [00:29] Iceman_B: safest bet is to assume it WILL die.. and always have backups. [00:29] because eventually.. it will . ;) [00:29] and a superblock restore helps....somewhat [00:29] ya pretty much what dr_willis said lol [00:29] But smart is good at finding issues [00:29] dr_willis:well yes, but this is not about data backup [00:29] the day he dacies to get an extra drive for backup is the day it will die [00:29] howdy - this is a newbie question but I'm trying to rename a directory that is my smb share and dlna media - I've stopped both smb and dlna but when I try to rename the folder I get an error that the device/resource is busy. [00:29] from what i recall reading.. dont rely on smart.. its a good tool. but not a guarenteed tool [00:29] any1 knows what type of encryption hash this is: :B:a16634f1:e10626a1f8070171d17f25c064347b64 ???????????? [00:29] this is about knowing if my damn server can run or not :/ [00:29] As long as the drive is smart capable, most modern drives are [00:29] how can i find out what services are running on that directory? [00:29] !ubott smart [00:29] any1 knows what type of encryption hash this is: :B:a16634f1:e10626a1f8070171d17f25c064347b64 ???????????? pm me pls [00:29] woops [00:30] or - what services are using it [00:30] !ubottu smart [00:30] meh, i forget how the bot works here [00:30] lol [00:30] terretz: if you mount a samba whare.. unmount it.. and remount it to a differnt named directory. [00:30] been sooo long [00:30] dr_willis, I believe that was from google's big hard drive life thing [00:30] Learningg: its tiger128,3 [00:30] n0yd: all 3 drives in my server are smart capable [00:30] switch the name around n0yd [00:30] Quix86: yea. i recall it was a few yearss back [00:30] and I read them out, and they all said "healthy" [00:30] Iceman_B, so install smartmontools [00:30] and yet my SDA1 keeps reverting to read-only mode :/ [00:30] and whatever smart tools there may be [00:30] !smart [00:30] smart is Self-Monitoring, Analysis and Reporting Technology, a monitoring system for hard drives. See https://help.ubuntu.com/community/Smartmontools [00:31] dr_willis, hm - thank you - I'll look into this - unmounting being the key word there. [00:31] well...rightn ow im running from a rescuecd [00:31] Iceman_B, is it detecting errors at startup? [00:31] how do you apt-get install 2 things at the same time? [00:31] You can use smart from a rescurecd [00:31] is it apt-get install test & test2 ? [00:31] Ari-Yang, apt-get install program1 program2 [00:31] n0yd: not really [00:31] kk [00:31] Iceman_B, why not? [00:32] Ive done it [00:32] oh [00:32] I meant: no errors detected on startup [00:32] Take a linux cd like ubuntu, load it. Mount drives, install smart [00:32] oh [00:32] until I try to run Aptitude [00:32] so if you use something that is apache2 license does that mean your project must be apache2? [00:32] weird [00:32] then everything breaks [00:32] did you use ext4tools to run a check? [00:33] ie. fsck [00:33] that would be my first course of action [00:33] Well, besides backing up important data :P [00:33] Its not a raid is it?\ [00:33] no [00:34] I just tried a Superblock restore via e2fsck [00:34] check the dmesg command when it fails.. see if it gives a cliue [00:34] did fsck find errors? [00:34] good idea dr [00:35] any hard drives i 'question' the reliability of.. become video storage drives for the kids roku's or other media players in the house. [00:35] if they die.. no big loss. [00:35] ya [00:35] storage is very cheap nowadays [00:35] n0yd: well yes, (if I had a job) [00:35] I had a 3ware SATAII raid card, it killed 6 1TB drives. [00:35] i have a redundant set of drives backing up "dora the explorer' ;) [00:35] It took me a long time to realize the card was the issue [00:36] but right now, I still need to find out if I actually need to replace the drive or not [00:36] I did more research and for whatever reason those specific cards kill drives like crazy [00:36] dr_willis, Thank you! It worked! [00:36] e2fsck found errors btw, it recovered that when I restored a superblock(whatever that is) [00:36] lol [00:36] im now running a badblock fsck [00:36] ....that could take a while, no? [00:36] 160G drive? [00:37] nah [00:37] not too long [00:37] But definitely run smart [00:37] You can install it on a livecd [00:37] a 160gb Normal (non ssd) hd? that , must be old. ;) [00:37] its included in systemrecuecd [00:37] nwever seen a 160 ssd [00:38] yes yes, haha, Ice has an old rinkydink server [00:38] :( [00:38] I have seen 250ssd's though, instead of 256 [00:38] its all hdd [00:38] I have one in my desktop [00:38] no ssd for me [00:38] im too poor [00:38] I got a 250gb sata drive.. and ive no idea where it came from.. ;) its just a backup location i had a spare sata cable for. ;) [00:38] Iceman_B, My server is a dual opteron 246, with PCI-X (yuck) 12port raid. [00:39] pfft [00:39] thats nothing [00:39] TYhough its currently out of comission, cause the frickin card kills drives [00:39] Its the oldest machine I have [00:39] mine is an Athlon XP 2800+ [00:39] LOL [00:39] 3 PATA drives [00:39] My lasxt athlon box was an Dual Athlon [00:39] Asus A7v600 something mobo [00:39] Water cooled [00:39] I've got a thinkpad x21 [00:39] air-cooled [00:39] PIII 800mhz [00:39] hehe [00:40] ive got more fans than you'll ever have [00:40] booyah! [00:40] mercury cooled... [00:40] oh oh oh no, excuse me [00:40] I've got a compaq presario 1230 [00:40] cyrix mediaGX 233 MMX [00:40] 96mb ram [00:40] I still have my Athlon T-Bird chip, from when my old ABIT Kt7A-raid died. That was actually my first Linux rig [00:40] running NT 4.0 [00:40] NewTrolls 4.0 [00:40] and I've got some athlon XP bits in a box somewhere [00:40] man [00:41] I think I;ve played on this box with Ubuntu 6.something [00:41] and my linux-fu is still WEAK [00:41] Like 5 years ago, I bought a Packard Bell 166Mhz, off ebay for like 5 bucks plus shipping. I used it just for a router [00:41] WEAK like twig [00:41] My modem went out (like the cable company was working on the line) and now the router will not connect to the internet. Is there some way to get it to see the internet again without reinstalling the software? (BTW I am hooked up to the modem right now) [00:41] Stuck some nics in it, and stuck some wifi cards in. [00:41] my WRT54GL mocks your Pbell... [00:41] lol [00:41] I've got one of those [00:42] And my RT-n16 mocks your WRT54GL [00:42] :( [00:42] I'm actually thinking I need to upgrade now, since I transfer files over my local network on occasion [00:42] Along with my WRT54G-TM [00:42] and have gigabit/wireless N devices [00:42] The best model 54G ever made [00:42] LLckfan: uh, huh ? arent you connected to the internet now? [00:42] Its only my spare, i dont use it. 54G is t slow [00:43] BTW I am hooked right to the modem [00:43] Iceman_B, hes conncted [00:43] directly [00:43] woops [00:43] LLckfan, you need to reboot the router [00:43] oh right, router, my bad [00:43] Reboot the modem, then reboot the router [00:43] and possibly release the DHCP lease on your computer [00:43] Not a he [00:43] before you hook up your router [00:44] n0yd, what about the WRTU54G-TM then? [00:44] WRTU? [00:44] like the TM but with 64mb ram [00:44] why have I never heard of these models...... [00:44] I hought the TM already has 64 [00:44] 32 [00:44] Iceman_B, they were Tmobile models [00:44] WRD2000v3/DD-WRT :( [00:44] Made for VOIP, which s why they were high ram [00:45] ah [00:45] US -only perhaps [00:45] Quix86, interesting, I thught mine had 64GB [00:45] not according to wikiped [00:45] Iceman_B, Tmobile is us on afaIK [00:45] maybe not, its been like 4 years [00:45] a few years ago, I specifically bought a wrt54gL to flash it with dd-wrt [00:45] I hate dd-wrt [00:46] Then I lose everything and I am not secure [00:46] I am too dumb to hate or love those cfw's [00:46] all I know is it works [00:46] and keeps my router stable [00:46] I used to like it, before I realized there are better options [00:46] suchas ? [00:46] tomato, tomatousb and the other tomatousb custoom builds [00:46] Tornado isnt a bad one [00:46] tornado? [00:46] openWRT perhaps? [00:46] Also debian-wrt [00:47] openwrt is alright [00:47] eh' tomato tornado, whatever [00:47] LLckfan: did you try powercycling your router yet? === markalanevans_ is now known as markalanevans [00:47] after that, try releaseing your IP, plug your router in and request an IP [00:47] Even asus's stock WRT is nice or the custom version made by merlin. You can install apps on it, etc [00:47] although I have no real idea how to do that on Linux ._. [00:47] But even the sock asuswrt has all the goodies [00:48] note: chocolate and sake are a terrible mix [00:48] DO NOT MIX THEM [00:48] * Iceman_B coughs up I/O errors [00:48] LLckfan, power cycling your router wouldnt make you "non secure" [00:48] Ice I have done that before [00:48] Nothing happened === peter_ is now known as Guest13841 [00:49] This really isnt an issue about Ubuntu. Its either your router or your modem [00:49] LLckfan: well, coming from my days as tech support, try pluggin in your router and then log into your router locally [00:49] I was told to ask here [00:49] see of IT gets an IP or not [00:49] I have [00:50] and? [00:50] is the intel 4965AGB supported in ubuntu/linux yet?

[00:50] (or you need to set your modem to Bridge mode) [00:50] NOT the lan IP [00:51] The Wan IP [00:51] Also, is this DSL or Cable? [00:51] If its DSL, are you using a Modem that requires your router use PPEOE [00:53] The router is not thiers [00:54] that doesnt mean anything [00:54] we cant help you unless you give us more information [00:54] Ive asked you many questions, with no answers [00:56] Answered the DSL or cable in the question [00:56] dd if=~/importantthings/commoncents of=llckfan [00:58] I give up [00:58] Call your ISP or router manufacturer [00:58] No help] [00:58] Cable [00:59] It is Cable [00:59] Which I said in the question [00:59] Tell u all what happened [01:00] Was online though the router. I am guessing they unplugged the line to work on it as all the lights on the modem where out [01:00] When the come back on router had no internet [01:00] LLckfan: the thing is [01:00] if your modem is now online, then you have an internet connection [01:01] if your router doesnt go online: either your router is broken, or your ISP is broken [01:01] its not really a ubuntu or even linux issue, from what I(we) can tell [01:02] Did you ever power-cycle the modem? [01:02] and the router [01:03] Yes [01:03] It sounds when your modem got disconnected, the IP changed. The router has the old IP stuck in it [01:03] Well, reboot the router and modem a few times. Ive seen it take a couple times [01:03] Sadly, comcast here goes out quite often [01:03] I have [01:04] The modem works fine [01:04] OMG [01:04] The router [01:04] Reboot it, with the modem connected, like 3 times. [01:04] why had nobody murdered someone at Comcast yet? [01:05] over here(Netherlands), only horror stories reach my ears about cable ISP's [01:05] I have [01:05] Check to see if it works each time you reboot it [01:05] in the US I mean [01:05] Ok [01:06] So when you have the modem hooked up to the router (NOT to your pc) and you go into the routers config page via your browser, is there an WAN IP? [01:06] I have not tried [01:07] Well i asked you to do that like 20min ago [01:07] can anyone assist with an fstab issue I'm having? [01:07] You see why you are not getting anywhere?

While you wait, try searching https://help.ubuntu.com/ or http://ubuntuforums.org/ or http://askubuntu.com/ [01:34] ben64, well, if you plug in an external device, including a CD, it default mounts this under the /media directory. I want to change that to another directory [01:34] KundiMeikkaa: whats the point of that? [01:34] sorry. i've already looked over the forums. will try again. [01:34] For any drive, including CD's, SD cards [01:34] Ben64, I want to mount it under a space I share outwardly specifically. [01:34] As in, so that i can access the contents of a CD or an external drive plugged in from another computer [01:35] why not share /media then... === cubix``278 is now known as cubix` [01:35] make a simlink [01:35] Ben64, well, because that requires two different login accounts for every folder (and their subfolders) to to share. The other alternative would be to share the common ancestor of all folders but that would be / and I don't think I want to do that. [01:36] using samba makes it very ez to share a directory in ubuntu [01:36] I am using samba, but it requires you to have different login instances for different directories it seems. [01:36] depends how you set up samba [01:36] Unless you share their common ancestor. [01:36] KundiMeikkaa: nvm Ben64 hes just trying to wast your time with pesky q and a [01:36] Hmm, well, I couldn't find how to set it up. [01:37] I also tried a symlink but it then complains about permissions on the other computer [01:37] share /media and everything underneath is shared [01:37] Because I guess it's technically not in permission range because it's actually on another part of the filesystem [01:37] Ben64, of course, but it requires then two different login instances toa ccess /media and /public at the same time [01:37] So that's why I want it to mount under /public/media [01:38] you never said anything about /public [01:38] Well, /public is that public folder. [01:38] Which I share [01:38] and you can use the same login to access it all [01:38] Well, I didn't get that to work, even so though, if it's at all possible I'd also like to know how to set up the default mounting location [01:38] It's useful info anyway [01:39] but you should be able to ln -s /media /public/ [01:39] what if he wants to mount it under another dir? [01:39] whats it to you why? [01:39] just anser the question [01:39] Guest77451: this does not concern you [01:39] Ben64, first thing I tried, it complains about permissions because it's technically located on the filesystem on a palce where sambda has not gotten permission to share [01:40] Ben64, if I'm to be frank, I concur with Guest7831, too often when I'm asking for people honestly waste time asking why I want to do something [01:40] While explaining the nature of my problem isn't relevant in this case. [01:40] hey guys. using rdesktop with the en-us keymap, but when i connect to a machine (based in europe) , the key events are incorrect. for example, the @ shows up as a " or something. thoughts? [01:40] it's much less than trivial to do what you're asking [01:41] ~meaning you dont know [01:41] thats not what i said, keep out of it [01:41] Ben64, I assumed as suich since google didn't give me anything. Which si weird because you'd assume ti's a very simpkle setting somewhere [01:41] i agree with Ben64, i'm not sure why you can't mount the drive to a directory that samba can use [01:41] Ben64, well, do you know? [01:41] yes [01:41] johnjohn101, even if I could, I'd still just like to kbnow how change this default behaviour [01:41] Ben64, is there a particular technical reason why it isn't trivial because I don't see why it shouldn't be. [01:42] you could just enable symlinks in samba config [01:42] are you trying to change the default direction where you usb drive mounts? [01:42] default directory [01:42] johnjohn101, yap [01:42] currently it/ s in /media [01:42] I'd like to just change that to whatever I want [01:43] ben64, won't fstab work?

[01:46] johnjohn101, well, samba still complains about permission even though I just checked the setting and it's enabled [01:46] Because it's technically stil on a part of the filesystem that samba isn't allowed to share [01:47] need to have symlinks and wide links on [01:47] Even though, I'd rather just be able to change the automount point if at all possible.

I am doing that now with my weechat client right now/ [01:58] KundiMeikkaa: I don't know how to change the automount directory. how many different devices are you trying to mount? [02:00] johnjohn101, currently I have a DvD drive, (each CD has a different UUID of course), an MP3 player, a tablet, 2 external drives, an SD card and a digital camera. [02:00] These all get automounted under /media/ [02:01] you could always make soft links to make them also appear wherever you wanted. [02:01] and you'd like them mounted under /public/d [02:01] johnjohn101, well under /public/media/ yeah [02:01] dr_willis, already done that, it just gnaws on me that I don't know how to change something that should be so simple and neither does google. [02:02] Almost everyone comes with symlinks which is a hack, it should be possible to change that in some setting [02:02] Hi. 12.04 Server. I cannot find why my / partition is out of space. I even did an fsck on the volume incase of discrepancy. See this for info. http://pastebin.com/gM3Np7sE Thanks! [02:02] KundiMeikkaa: for auto mounting, i woudl think it would be udev rules.. but ive never needed or wanted to change the defaults. ;) [02:03] dr_willis, where are the udev rules? [02:03] !udev [02:03] somewhere in /etc/ i recall having to tweak some rules once ages ago for a tablet.. [02:04] Well, I'm sure google knows [02:04] omniscient bastard that it is. [02:06] KundiMeikkaa: http://ubuntuforums.org/showthread.php?t=168221 [02:06] good luck [02:07] i seem to recall being able to make specific rules to mount devices to specific locations based on their UUID, or label, or other information about the device [02:07] wow, that's complicated to hjust change the default automount point wow [02:07] what you are doing would be considered some what odd.. and well a bit insecure [02:07] It seems this is still on a per device basis though [02:08] I don't understand if symlinks works, then why not use it? [02:10] I am using it, it just frustrates me that there isn't a simple setting to change such a simple thing. [02:11] The OS choose for me that it should be in /media/ what if I wanted it to be in /external-drives and seperate external drives and CD's for instance [02:11] perhaps because its not a simple thing? [02:11] I see no theoretical reason why it can't be? [02:11] Is there some theoretical reason why you can't choose that folder? [02:12] i imagine because the udev rules are written to use /media/ as ubuntu has used /media/ since... well.. a long time ago [02:12] my best guess is that no one has taken the time to develop that functionality. [02:12] the switch to /media/username/ is a relatively recent change [02:12] That too, is silly because it breaks so much stuff. [02:13] cant really sayve ive noticed it breaking stuff. [02:13] dr_willis, but meh, it should be possible to just change a simple global setting at some point === DouglasKAway is now known as DouglasK [02:13] KundiMeikkaa: you're welcome to to the mount yourself? turn off automount. [02:13] everything should be a globle setting then eh? [02:13] Well, if someone has a script which assumes CD's are located at /media/ that script then breaks [02:13] !info automountfs [02:13] Package automountfs does not exist in raring [02:13] dr_willis, I do believe everything should be customizable as mucha s possible yes [02:13] Different people, different needs [02:14] KundiMeikkaa: thats why the udev rules are all text files and fairly easy to change. [02:14] Say I'm French and allergic to English and I want it on /medias [02:14] KundiMeikkaa: changing /media/ to /media/$USER do not looks hard.. [02:14] dr_willis, well, they still seem to work on a device by device basis from what I read [02:14] KundiMeikkaa: I think you are nitpicking this but the bottom line is that what you're asking is a low priority. Open up an issue in launchpad and see if someone picks it up. that's the best you can do [02:14] qin, it isn't hard, but it does break stuff before you chjange it [02:14] KundiMeikkaa: they have rules/patterns they can follow [02:14] If you have a lot of scripts, it's not pretty [02:15] johnjohn101, I'm hardly nitpicking, you have to admit that not being able to change the default mount folder is weird, you'd expect it to be in some config file.

[02:22] johnjohn101, well, I have accepted that it is a missing functionality, I just don't like it and people here seem to try to convince me that it's an unneeded functionality of which I'm not sure. [02:22] Hmm.. cant say ive seen a nvidia card that allowed 3 monitors... but ive not bought a new card in ages. [02:23] oh yeah ty pdqman [02:23] I'm also confused why it's a missing functionality, it seems like that when you code in the automount behaviour one of the things you do is letting it read the automount folder from some configuration setting at some point [02:23] instead of hardcoding it in it [02:23] dr_willis, dual dvi and hdmi? [02:23] i know ive seen them, the newer ones [02:23] n0yd: i got one that has a hdmi, vga, and dvi.. but i can only do 2 out of the 3 [02:23] the gtx 650 ti boost has 2 dvi, an hdmi and a display port === cubix``956 is now known as cubix` [02:24] but its an older caard [02:24] johnjohn101, I don't know, if you made the automount routine, surely you would've let it read the directory where to mount it from some configuration setting rather than hardcoding it?

The system load remains low (top shows load averages all below 0.3). Ideas? [02:55] same thing | rcdrc [02:55] rcdrc: Not without a makefile it doesn't. [02:55] g++ is a link to gcc | rcdrc [02:55] Er, DmiCool20 ^ [02:55] rcdrc: sudo apt-get install build-essential cmake autoconf [02:56] brb [02:56] so if i'm focus to C not c++, gcc is my choose? [02:56] This one come with a cd [02:56] And the cd has stuff to install [02:56] thx seronis. [02:57] LLckfan: the CD is worthless. routers use standard ethernet protocol to communicate. the cd itself only logs into your router over telnet to set up encryption and other settings [02:57] so if i'm focus to C not c++, gcc is my chooice? [02:57] rcdrc: Either way. [02:57] rcdrc: same compiler for both [02:58] clang is also gaining some traction. [02:58] you should really check out the gcc man page :) .... gcc - GNU project C and C++ compiler [02:58] thx for all [02:58] you're welcome [02:58] rcdrc: but your BEST bet is to join the ##c-basic and possibly ##C++-basic channels === cubix``995 is now known as cubix` [02:59] rcdrc: if you join ##C++ or ##C people there will tell you to ask about compilers elsewhere [02:59] ##c-basic <----is it for beginner?

[03:39] I have windows 7 installed and running on a terabyte HDD. [03:39] I have a 60 gigabyte SSD with nothing on it. [03:39] How do I, from a bootable ubuntu flashdrive, install ubuntu on the SSD? [03:39] I essentially want to dual-boot the two OSs but I want them to each be full and independent. [03:39] CrispyHex: Please don't flood; use http://paste.ubuntu.com to paste; don't use Enter as punctuation. [03:39] asking how to use somthing befor you even have it installed..... install it.. run devede... figure it out.. [03:40] harris: again. you are being a bit vague. You want somthing playable in a DVD player. use devede.. if you just want the FILES on a data cd/dvd. theres numerous burner tools for that. that do NOT convert/alter the video file [03:41] ok my dad is going to do it [03:41] * dr_willis closes the ticket [03:41] * inflex does so dearly love X over SSH *loving sigh* [03:41] thank you for trying [03:41] CrispyHex: just pick the ssd during installation for ubuntu, update grub later and add an entry for windows on the other disk - [03:41] thanks harris [03:42] for what> [03:42] ? [03:42] sorry, brasero didn't work for you [03:42] you may need to tell your bios to boot the disk containing grub first - [03:42] theres burner tools other then brassero [03:42] i tend to use k3b [03:42] my dad will hopefully get it if not the schools it person will [03:43] what if I disconnected the terabyte(windows) from the computer and made it so the SSD is the only drive. would it cause problems once I hooked the HDD back up? [03:44] CrispyHex: that should work. [03:44] assuming you disconnected it properly no - [03:44] My modem went out (like the cable company was working on the line) and now the router will not connect to the internet. Is there some way to get it to see the internet again without reinstalling the software? (BTW I am hooked up to the modem right now) [03:44] CrispyHex: you will need to boot the ubuntu drive. then rerun update-grub if you wan tto boot windows via grub.. or just select what hd to boot ivia the bios stuff [03:44] you'll still need to update grub to run a "dual boot" later [03:44] ok good night\ [03:45] dr_willis: downloading the v319 driver direct from nVidia, creating my own xorg.conf .... fingers crossed. [03:45] dr_willis: grub scans all disks or just the disk its installed on for os? [03:45] SolarisB1y: all of them [03:45] ah [03:45] so even easier [03:45] OK so unhook the HDD, install Ubuntu on SSD, reconnect the HDD, then update Grub? [03:45] i am running ubuntu 64bit, how can i installed perl 32bit ? [03:45] not sure why you need to unhook the hdd [03:47] you said its blank and the other has windows- leave the TB in and install to the SDD unless you need to for some other reason ubuntu will ask what disk to install too and when you intsall grub it should scan disks - [03:47] silv3r_m00n: a couple of shots - a maybe, and a 'it wont': http://stackoverflow.com/questions/1527259/how-can-i-install-a-separate-perl-without-disturbing-the-existing-one http://stackoverflow.com/questions/16604905/how-can-i-install-mysql-client-of-32bit-into-ubuntu-12-04-of-64bit [03:47] to make it simple. as of now ubuntu keeps trying to install on the HDD alongside windows. when I try to install onto the SSD it says something like " no root defined" or something.

[04:06] dr_willis: always slow [04:06] could it be a usb polling rate?

[04:16] When ssh wants to use my private key, it asks for a password, and it does so by popping up a little window. [04:16] But if I'm already ssh'ing into the system, and I have no X session, it just fails. [04:17] I have -absolutely no fucking reason- to X-forward besides using ssh, which should not require X at all. [04:17] so how do I disable this behavior? I don't even know what it's called. [04:19] I'd much rather it just ask for my password in the tty. [04:19] hi [04:19] scythe: what ssh client/terminal app are you using? [04:20] ive never seen ssh pop up a dialog asking for my ssh password. [04:21] Hello? [04:21] Jello! [04:21] dr_willis: Uh, 'ssh', as in, typing 'ssh scythe@host.gatech.edu', or, in this case, git-over-ssh, which runs the same command. [04:22] I'm having trouble installing Vi Improved on my machine. [04:22] It's from a default install of 12.04. [04:22] brian_: how so? [04:22] scythe: so you are doing this in 'gnome-terminal' ? [04:22] It happens in gnome-terminal, but it also happens if I try to do it via an ssh tunnel... [04:22] wait a second [04:23] an ssh tunnel built from an autossh session [04:23] makes me wonder if its not gnome-keyring doing somthing [04:23] running in a gnome-terminal [04:23] somsip: When I run apt-get install vim I receive root@Tank:/home/brian# apt-get install vim [04:23] Reading package lists...

I guess I better go burn and install a newer version. I tried to put mint on this machine but apparently my processor is not supported.

What versions would you recommend for a older computer? I need some thing light weight. [04:39] brian_, fluxbox [04:39] brian_: go with chrunchbang [04:39] brian_: I would tend to recommend Long Term Support. So 12.04, and maybe Lubuntu or Xubuntu for the lightweight desktop [04:40] somsip: I'm using an old version of xubuntu right now so I guess I'll stick with this. It is running well. Thanks a dozen!

The open folder is now a strange file with 0 byte and all the files inside the folder are missing. [05:20] Hello again. Got Ubuntu installed on the SSD. Haven't hooked the HDD back up yet. Got a weird problem. It's a weird glitch or something where there's two desktops. One looks like a minimized window(in size) ontop of the other which is normal(full-screen). I have two trash bin icons. One at the bottom of the Unity bar, and another higher up just underneath the apps. Has anybody experienced this or heard of this before? === mheinke is now known as mheinke|AFK [05:20] DouglasK: specifically, it means a client at ip223.hichina.com has established an SSH connection over port 50022. It is worth noting this does not imply the client has any particular access; only that the SSH tunnel is established and in some phase of layer 7 transmission. [05:21] or at least a connection to the ssh port, not necessarily logged in / with access, yes? [05:21] vsftpd or proftpd? [05:22] aMoniker: best would be to use ssh/scp/sftp [05:22] And I have two sets of the icons that appear in the top right corner( envalope, internet connection, sound, and time). One in the top right corner where it should be, and another just to the left of it.lol really weird. [05:22] CrispyHex: sounds like a video driver bug. what is your video chipset? [05:22] dr_willis: In this case I will probably need plain FTP [05:23] radeon 6800>??? I think>? [05:23] aMoniker: flip a coin.. youve give us no details as to the use case for the ftp server. [05:23] dr_willis: which is easier to set up? [05:23] theres other ftp servers in the repos also. [05:24] CrispyHex: you have installed the fglrx drivers? [05:24] dr_willis: which is best? [05:24] there is no 'best' [05:24] it depends on your needs [05:24] tohuw: or at least a connection to the ssh server on the local machine, not necessarily logged in / with access, yes? [05:24] dr_willis: which is of the highest quality while being easy to set up? [05:24] not sure what that is, so most likely no. haha [05:24] dr_willis: All I can seem to find out is it is a Centrino I think it is clocked at 1.5ghz Only one core [05:24] aMoniker: if you have sshd you have scp [05:24] * dr_willis has to run.. bbl [05:25] clcto: Neither of those are FTP. [05:25] aMoniker: nope but scp works fine [05:25] clcto: Not for this application. [05:25] DouglasK: Correct. To see precisely what the account is doing, I suggest looking at logged in users first: who -a [05:26] tohuw, yup, nothing unexpected there, just me from my ssh session on the local lan and the consoles. [05:27] What about PureFTPd? [05:28] tohuw, it's about what I thought, but as I was having other network related issues, I figured make sure this is chased down. I've now set the router to block incoming from that class c. [05:28] DouglasK: kill them off, if you don't want that client hanging out on the port. Or block them from your firewall, which it seems you've done. :) [05:28] I guess no one knows FTP here. Looks like PureFTPd is a good choice. [05:29] DouglasK: What service is running on that port? sudo netstat -lnp | grep 50022 [05:30] :/ [05:30] hi [05:30] tohuw, that shows no output [05:31] aMoniker: barely 5 minutes have passed since you asked your question. Also... [05:31] !best > aMoniker [05:31] aMoniker, please see my private message [05:32] tohuw: also, even tho I've set a firewall on the router to block it, I'm still seeing what looks like new connections from that addy [05:32] tohuw: I demand speed. [05:33] tohuw: Also... [05:33] aMoniker: ftp is low quality in general, for own purpose use sshfs, commercialy web upload or ssh [05:33] !hi > tohuw [05:33] aMoniker: or rsync [05:33] qin: "Hey everyone, I need a banana, which brand is good?" [05:33] strange thing happened. I powered down my ubuntu pc with a usb hd plugged in. The open folder is now after booting a strange file with 0 byte and all the files inside the folder are missing. What can i do about that? [05:33] DouglasK: blocking by IP is ultimately futile. It is best to determine what the intruders are doing and how to prevent the extraneous connections.

I have a backup to another server, but not on port 50022. [05:38] DouglasK: Is your server in front of your router? Why was a request to 50022 allowed to open an SSH listener on that port? [05:38] tohuw, the local port on that line is port 22, the 50022 was on the *.hichina.com address side. [05:38] the server is behind the router, not in a DMZ. [05:39] DouglasK: Ah, I just went back and saw that now. X_X Sorry. Anyway, sounds like a non-event, as you said. If they persist, set up a honeypot! :D [05:40] DouglasK: knockd and fail2ban will reduce chinese traffic on ssh tenfold [05:41] tohuw, I reckon that as long as they don't hit a vulnerability in the sshd, I'm safe, unless they've got their hands on my private key. :) [05:41] qin, making notes of that for tomorrow. going to bed shortly here.

I am trying to cat some files, with the name consisting of numbers, in an incrementing fashion. sort etc print the filenames starting with 10 and that is annoying. Any help?

[12:01] brotherBox: what do you want to sort? [12:01] Guest62662: there is a 'Call script when the torrent is completed' so it looks possible [12:02] matanya, look at this snippet: http://pastebin.com/nQY0tH8Y [12:02] Guest62662: inotify gives you the possibility to observe changes in the file system [12:02] A backup of deja-dup/duplicity messed up and I have to restore it manually. No big deal in general [12:03] But I'd like to extract the files in order. But as you see, sort sees the vol1000 file as the first one === guest9600 is now known as harish [12:03] brotherBox: what's the problem it looks like it's sorting properly [12:03] 1000<1001 [12:03] But 1 < 1000, and I want it to show 1 as the first one. [12:04] somsip: Yes I know, I just do not understand HOW to make the script. Best would be if there is something out there already. [12:04] brotherBox: ls -t [12:04] brotherBox: or -c [12:04] schnuffle: Like, if appear new folder in /home/user I can decide if I want to move it or not? But I guess I cannot do it while torrent is active? [12:05] brotherBox: actually ls -v would probably sort it jsut fine for you. [12:05] Guest62662: Two starters https://forum.transmissionbt.com/viewtopic.php?t=10364 https://trac.transmissionbt.com/browser/trunk/extras/send-email-when-torrent-done.sh [12:05] schnuffle: I am thinkin like InternetDownloadManager, which automaticly group downloads depending on mime-type. [12:05] Guest62662: http://pyinotify.sourceforge.net/#Brief_Tutorial gives you some explanation it's using python [12:05] histo, neither of those have the desired effect. -t only reverses the output (which is actually less useful than what I already have) and -c is only a combination of lt [12:06] somsip: Thanks :) [12:06] brotherBox: don't pipe the output to sort... just use ls -v [12:06] histo, you are right. -v is wonderful [12:06] brotherBox: that enables version numbering sorting within the name [12:07] Guest62662: http://blog.lagentz.com/general/automate-your-shell-scripts-using-inotify-and-inotifywait/ [12:07] brotherBox: man ls | grep sort [12:07] Yep, thats the way I want it: http://pastebin.com/Y2kT7q2C [12:07] Thanks a lot [12:07] hi everyone, if i try to install openjdk-7-jre-headless, i get this error and the package doesn't get installed, [12:07] dpkg: error processing /var/cache/apt/archives/openjdk-7-jre-headless_7u21-2.3.9-1ubuntu1_i386.deb (--unpack): subprocess dpkg-deb --fsys-tarfile returned error exit status 2 [12:07] somsip: Also it would be awesome to be able to stream video while downloading it. I miss that from uTorrent, even though it was not particularly good. [12:08] how do i fix it? [12:08] I even tried apt-get -f install but with the same result. [12:08] Guest62662: not one we can help you with here [12:08] kenzo450D: have you updated your repo before installing? [12:09] schnuffle: updated my repo as in? [12:09] kenzo450D: as in sudo aptitude update [12:09] somsip: I know KTorrent has on KDE. Oh maybe I should try it out. I just do not like to install QT wrappers. But Ubuntu will be rewritten in QT later on, right? [12:09] schnuffle: no, that I didn't :( [12:10] kenzo450D: try that, could be that there's a new update and so installing the version in your repo isn't existing anymore [12:10] histo, is there any way to "extend" that into a regular expression? [12:10] hi all [12:11] schnuffle: doing that. :) but got this error there [12:11] W: Failed to fetch http://ppa.launchpad.net/awstools-dev/awstools/ubuntu/dists/raring/main/binary-i386/Packages: 404 Not Found E: Some index files failed to download.

Maybe you're confusing the distro (ubuntu) for the default window manager (unity) [12:12] where I can have to make config after install the linux-kernel? [12:12] brotherBox: what is it you are ultimately trying to do with the files? [12:12] kenzo450D: so you have installed a PPA which doesn'T exist anymore [12:13] kenzo450D: the latest release for that PPA is quantal [12:13] schnuffle: that I do not know much of, all that I did was to install perl DBI, after this I get these errors. [12:13] histo, this is for a slightly different, but related purpose. The effect of un-taring the difftar files is, that I have a bunch of numbered files which, when cat'd in the right order (duh) render the "original" file. [12:14] I've found it ) /usr/src/linux-headers-`uname -r` [12:15] I have not found out how to manage that with ls -v as ls -v | cat only prints the filenames and ls -v | cat * cat's the files in the "wrong" order. [12:15] kenzo450D: did you do a distupgrade to raring? [12:15] brotherBox: so why not use find whatever -exec do blah + [12:15] Wireshark is not upgraded yet. I tried backports. [12:16] schnuffle: I do not remember exactly, but probably I did it, to install some packages in raring. [12:16] schnuffle: *from raring. [12:16] histo, because I dont see how find sorts the files, beginning at 1/the smallest number [12:16] A short test with the syntax you suggested shows that it doesnt sort the files. [12:16] somsip: No I am not. I heard from devs saying they will abandon Wayland and Unity. Rewrite a new window handler, dump GTK and Unity completly as favor for QT framework. QUite ironic though, because they kicked out Kubuntu from Canoncial officially and then they want to make QT instead of using KDE which already is QT :P === harshadura_ is now known as harshadura [12:17] Guest62662: but KDE is horrible [12:17] brotherBox: But I don't believe you can ls -v * | xargs untar [12:17] Guest62662: still no idea, and something probably more suited to #ubuntu-offtopic [12:17] kenzo450D: hmm, what to do, first I would clean up my repo lists [12:18] gordonjcp some people do prefer KDE [12:18] brotherBox: I would ask in #bash they would be able to tell you the best way [12:18] Alright, thanks anyway! [12:19] gordonjcp: Why? I am not defending anyone, I am just curious? Why not cooperate with KDE and make it better? [12:20] Guest62662: maybe the same reason they drop wayland a start building there own [12:20] s/a/and/ [12:20] Guest62662, cuz it's offtopic in the support channel. such debate is best done in #ubuntu-offtopic [12:21] schnuffle: okay, just did apt-get autoclean, i tried to do localepurge, but then again I have to install it, and I cannot install anything right now.

Anybody else here having problems with UEFI installations? Secureboot is disabled, yet grub fails. [13:32] !uefi [13:32] (installing 13.04) [13:32] 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 [13:34] bazhang: i must be blind :p [13:34] unable to find anything there [13:35] I have seen that page.

[13:37] hello, I've got a specific problem! after a fsck-repair-operation where some blocks and nodes changed wasnt my system able to boot. [13:37] before the grub-screen I got a short message "error: invalid environment block", then comes the grub-screen.

I'll just install it in bios mode.

What if every time I do this? Would something happen to the OS, like windows? I am using ubuntu 13.04 [14:03] mojtaba: Depends on what process you are killing. Usually nothing if you are killing say, a non-responsive download manager. [14:03] rewarp: I am killing all the time xbmc. It is not responsive when I am exiting in a normal way [14:04] rewarp: Should I run any command to organize the OS regularly, like those in windows (windows registry cleaner, windows cleaner, optimizer, ...)? === MartinS is now known as Guest49706 [14:05] considering xbmc isn't a system process, kill -9 shouldn't damage the system in any way [14:05] mojtaba: Have you tried asking the xbmc project why this is happening? Seems like a bug. === GingerGeek[Away] is now known as GingerGeek [14:06] mojtaba see if you can get a snapshot of the ps aux with xbmc there [14:06] Also, the only cleaning tool I use is the sudo apt-get clean command to clear away old installation files and Ubuntu Tweak's Janitor as well. [14:08] do you run these often, is there a need to === Destiny101 is now known as DestinyAwaits [14:10] hi. is apparmor only used for applications or can i also set read write and execute rules for files an directories? thanks [14:10] Ubuntu Tweak's Janitor is very convenient. I never learnt how to uninstall old kernels from the terminal because Tweak makes it so easy. [14:11] i'm on 12.04 and i see "x packages can be updated / x updates are security updates". uh how can i get them [14:11] Does the wget command download at the maximum possible speed by default?? [14:12] NoiseEee: You should be able to launch the update manager/software updater. [14:12] rewarp: console only... server [14:12] when is next LTS released? [14:12] apt-get upgrade [14:13] apt-get dist-upgrade [14:13] apt-get dist-upgrade --- for the ones that are left behind [14:13] rewarp: well i want to stay on 12.04LTS [14:13] i guess they are dist upgrades, i get told "following packages held back: ...lts-quantal" [14:13] !dist-upgrade | NoiseEee [14:13] NoiseEee: A dist-upgrade will install new dependencies for packages already installed and may remove packages if they are no longer needed. This will not bring you to a new release of Ubuntu, see !upgrade if that is your intention. [14:13] I stopped a dwnld by wget by accident? Can I continue it?? [14:14] NoiseEee I run a server on Debian 7 and my PC on 12.04.

Of course I resize the partition and installed Ubuntu, with no troubles, but I have no grub... so I cant choose between Ubuntu and Windows.. How can I fix it? [14:15] hio/ [14:16] betrayd: If the server supports regetting, it will instruct the server to continue the download from where it left off. [14:16] Apparently it depends on the server === dimitar is now known as boichev [14:17] AIRecon, right, the 'smart' folks know to set it up so they don't get hammered with redundant requests === boichev_ is now known as boichev [14:18] RxDx: You need to install grub to the MBR.

I mean what is postgresql?? Got this command from a friend but i need to know what it does [14:25] A1Recon: nothing. you're missing an action (install) there. Anyway, postgresql is an RDBMS (A database server) [14:26] A1Recon, I think this command is wrong.. maybe the correct is "sudo apt-get install postgreesql".. that install the postgree SQL database (an alternative to mySQL for example) [14:26] RxDx: Pici: yeah I missed "install". thanks for that. LOL i should have googled... :P [14:26] np :) [14:26] iyep nothing wrong A1Recon, at best, you'll know how wget works....

[14:45] !notunity | julie29 [14:45] julie29: Ubuntu 11.10 and higher use the !Unity desktop environment by default. To use GNOME Shell instead, install the "gnome-shell" package and investigate "gnome-tweak-tool". For GNOME Fallback mode, which is similar to GNOME 2, install "gnome-panel". Both packages will place entries in the Sessions dropdown. [14:46] julie29: install another desktop from the repos then [14:46] so install something else julie29 [14:46] but here's where I'm stuck. I can't choose regular recovery mode because the password is unknown, and I can't mount rw (or single) init=/bin/bash, because I get an ioctl error [14:46] julie29: You can simply install the stock Gnome or other DEs in the software centre. [14:46] that is all :\ [14:46] I only have remote access to the machine, no physical access [14:47] bazhang: auronandace: rewarp: so i can use the software center to install gnome shell or "gnome 2"? which one do you guys prefer and why? === babilen is now known as Guest84584 [14:47] julie29: I am personally using the KDE DE through their backports PPA. [14:47] julie29: up to you what you want (there is no gnome2 anymore) [14:47] julie29, there is no gnome2 please dont poll here. try some different ones and decide what you like [14:48] by "gnome 2" i meant gnome fallback mode :) [14:48] If in doubt, install everything. And try them all out. [14:48] yes, sorry for asking so many questions [14:48] julie29: try cinnamon, thats very gnome2-like [14:48] As long as they are from the official repos, your chances of breaking stuff is minimal.

[15:45] it didn't work in 12.10, 12.04 ... why should it work in raring ... [15:46] grimeton: Were your settings erased after editting them? Or did they simply fail to work?

[15:52] what should i do with .goutputstream-XXXXX files [15:52] Since grub2 's config is a product of various scripts, editting the file grub.cfg would mean the settings will be reset.

[16:12] <[nas]peter> allows you to control the dedicated server from wherever you are [16:12] <[nas]peter> not necessarily [16:12] yousaf: so you are in front of the machine [16:12] suphttp://www.supermicro.co.uk/products/accessories/addon/SIM.cfm [16:12] yousaf: press ctrl+alt+delete to reboot the server, when it comes up again interrupt grub and select the entry you want to boot with the up/down keys [16:12] yousaf: but don't press enter, press "e" instead [16:13] yousaf: then select the kernel line, remove any init= commands in that line and add at the end: init=/bin/bash [16:13] yousaf: that brings the system up in single user mode [16:13] i get a black screen when i launched KVM viewer [16:13] yousaf: remount the root to be read/write: mount / -o remount,rw [16:13] my answer is: All users: ADDHOST HELP IDENT INFO PASS VOICE WHO WHOIS [16:13] sorry [16:13] my answer is: http://askubuntu.com/questions/64889/give-permission-to-user-only-to-install-applications [16:14] yousaf: run the passwd command, enter your password, remount ro: mount / -o remount,ro and press ctrl+alt+delete again [16:14] yousaf: then it reboots and the password you entered will be the root password [16:14] yousaf: problem solved [16:14] grimeton but I get a black screen when i launch the kvm viewer [16:14] yousaf: yeah, the kvm needs some time to adjust, but you should be able to press up/down keys or the escape key even while you are not seeing anything [16:14] yousaf: yeah, that's the screensaver - press space or something and you will see the console [16:15] yousaf: the important part is: the system will be rebooted and you have to be aware of this [16:15] right i can see the screen now [16:15] but its asking me to login [16:15] yousaf: just send a ctrl+alt+delete [16:15] that will reboot the machine [16:16] I updated from 12.04 to 12.10 but when it rebooted it only showed "missing operating system". I tried the boot-repair-disk and installing grub manually with a live cd (complaints about GPT). I also tried changing some drive stuff in the bios but no luck thus far. that pc was running fine before the update. any suggestions?? [16:17] guys, please.. i have a HP G42 laptop, and it's shutting down because of the overheating.... Just installed a fresh install of ubuntu. [16:18] esperegu: gpt can be a bit tricky ... i guess you have to work your way through this by hand or get professional help [16:18] YokoBR, maybe the laptop is old?... [16:18] Ari-Yang, 2 yr old. [16:18] grimeton: :-( [16:18] So i just can't use linux on it. [16:19] perhaps a cooling-pad (laptop fan), YokoBR? [16:19] grimeton: I don't get it. its a (k)ubuntu only install and I just upgraded. [16:19] grimeton, if I paid you for your effort, would you reset this password for me? [16:19] not in linux [16:19] into* [16:20] YokoBR, or maybe that's what you need, lubuntu [16:20] Ari-Yang, i'm on a 12000BTU air conditioneer. [16:20] YokoBR: I had a Compaq die on me before. I'd say two years is the expected life of a budget laptop from HP. [16:20] at 17°C [16:20] what drivers are you using? open-source or proprietary? [16:21] Ari-Yang, it's a fresh install... i guess it's the opensource. [16:21] yeah, it is then.... [16:21] i want to install all packages that have "wallpapers" in their name, apt-get install *wallpapers doesnt work [16:21] not sure what else you can do YokoBR :V maybe try out lubuntu? [16:21] !lubuntu [16:21] lubuntu is Ubuntu with LXDE instead of !GNOME as desktop environment, which makes it extremely lightweight. See https://wiki.ubuntu.com/Lubuntu - /join #lubuntu for lubuntu support. [16:21] it's a light weight OS based on Ubuntu, here's a link http://lubuntu.net/ [16:21] YokoBR: a friend of mine fixes tons of laptops and other things for people. Nearly all overheating issues end up being either bad airflow and dust builds up inside it which means you can just open it up and blow it out [16:22] YokoBR: or the thermal paste was crap and just using a new coat fixes it [16:22] when was the last time you cleaned your laptop? [16:22] i've blowed it with an industrial blower [16:22] and temperature was fine with windows [16:23] Ari-Yang, last week. [16:24] Ari-Yang, as i said, the temperature was fine on Window$ [16:24] grimeton: where to find info to 'work through it by hand' ? [16:25] hi, i installed a second OS on /dev/sda2 [16:25] but ubuntu keeps booting which is on /dev/sda1 [16:25] i dont see any grub menu [16:25] YokoBR, well then maybe you should try lubuntu. [16:25] i commented 'GRUB_HIDDEN_TIMEOUT=15' in /etc/default/grub [16:25] how can i add a grub item for /dev/sda2? [16:25] YokoBR: 'industrial blower' is extreme overkill and if you just did this last week you might have damaged the bearings in your fan. Find a friend who is comfortable messing with tech who will open it up, check your fans, and put a new coat of thermal paste as needed [16:27] seronis, i didn't. It was fine running Window$ yesterday. I just set it to a lower power. [16:27] n #ubuntu [16:27] The biggest problem is that i have hybrid graphics. [16:28] so the open source drivers only enable the onboard gpu, wich is a legacy HD 4250, when i have an offboard Gpu, HD 6310 [16:28] YokoBR: disable your onboard in the bios so that the OSS drivers have no choice in what to use [16:29] seronis, it's a muxless hybrid laptop. So i can't disable it on bios. [16:29] anyone know how to get ABC News videos to play on Ubuntu 12.04 LTS, either Chromium or Firefox? [16:30] How can I add an item in grub? [16:30] I have a new OS [16:30] dual boot [16:31] for god's sake, why have you done this, HP?! ATI?! Are you trying to test my faith?! [16:31] but it goes to ubuntu [16:31] py_can: Please don't flood; use http://paste.ubuntu.com to paste; don't use Enter as punctuation. [16:31] py_can, edit grub.conf [16:31] YokoBR: I only need to add /dev/sda2 [16:31] or, let me ask it like this: Has ABC (as in the American ABC) knowingly broken compatibility with GNU/Linux, either affirmatively or by omission? [16:32] YokoBR: where can i find example code? I've looked. [16:32] any idea why the java perspective does not work for me in eclipse [16:32] py_can: after editing /etc/default/grub did you run 'sudo update-grub' ? [16:32] py_can, try update-grub [16:32] sudo update-grub [16:33] seronis: no, i did not [16:33] ok thx, brb [16:33] py_can: thats required [16:33] i forgot ;') [16:33] =-) [16:33] How do I run apache inside gdb? [16:33] py_can, /etc/default/grub [16:33] Ari-Yang: he already edited that [16:33] don't edit the /boot/grub/grub.cgf [16:35] any java guys here [16:35] Is there any command to organize the OS regularly, like those in windows? (e.g. windows registry cleaner, windows optimizer, windows cleaner,... ) [16:35] eoo: yes, but also try #eclipse [16:37] how can i download xubuntu 12.04, not 12.04.1 [16:37] mojtaba: 1 month of using xubuntu here.. so far what i've figured out is apt-get handles any cleaning you need to do. use apt-get purge instead of apt-get remove if you want it to delete settings info [16:37] YokoBR, why Xubuntu and not lubuntu? [16:37] !xubuntu [16:37] Xubuntu is Ubuntu with Xfce as the desktop environment. More info at http://www.xubuntu.org/ - To install from Ubuntu: « sudo apt-get install xubuntu-desktop » - Join #xubuntu for support - See also: !Ubuntu and !Xubuntu-Channels [16:37] mojtaba: also for user specific information just look inside your home directory at all the hidden folders [16:37] hello again! i just installed sublime text 2 and now i'm wondering where all the files are located on my hdd. can someone please help? [16:37] Ari-Yang, i really hate lxde and i really love xfce/gnome [16:37] o [16:38] YokoBR: Also, if you could download 12.04 and do all the updates, it would just be 12.04. anyhow === BadLarry_ is now known as BadLarry [16:38] seronis: thanks [16:38] genii-around, but i can't. I NEED 3.4 kernel AND xserver 1.12 [16:39] i hate ati for not releasing the driver and hp for delivering me a muxless hybrid with no option on bios. [16:39] Ari-Yang: i've installed (and uninstalled) plain ubuntu/mint a dozen or more times in the past 6 years and gone back to windows. used XFCE for the past month (first try with it) and havent wanted to put win7 back on. Can ya tell me a few features of 'L'ubuntu that might make it worth checking out too ? [16:40] agreed, seronis. Can't see any difference [16:40] tired of me already? i'm only asking because i know there should be a sublime_text file on my computer, but i can't find it! [16:40] YokoBR: agreed? I was gonna try lxde too if xfce hadnt made me happy. I just havent tried it yet and would honestly like information from someone who has an opinion on the matter [16:41] seronis, i mean, what does xfce and lxde have with this?! [16:41] seronis, I don't know much about lubuntu's features, was just suggesting it because it light weight lol XD you'll ave to google around yourself :b [16:41] the problem is not the windows manager [16:41] window* [16:41] YokoBR: 'this' ? i was asking ari for info. unrelated to your stuff [16:41] I'm sure there are comparisons out there [16:42] seronis, sorry, got the bus running [16:42] Ari-Yang: ok =-) i (wrongly) assumed you were using it if you would suggest it OVER xubuntu =-) [16:42] I'm on ubuntu 12.10 myself using E17 [16:42] no worries :T [16:42] E17? redhat ? [16:43] now i gotta google E17 =-) thought that was related to fedora/redhat, not ubuntu [16:44] seronis, http://www.enlightenment.org/ [16:44] Ari-Yang: yup taht was first google result. checking it out now [16:46] hello again! i just installed sublime text 2 and now i'm wondering where all the files are located on my hdd. can someone please help? [16:48] julie29: specifically which files? [16:49] julie29 what do the preferences show? where does it 'save as'? [16:49] seronis: any files associated with sublime text. i'm supposed to cd to /usr/lib/sublime-text-2, but it is nowhere to be found! [16:50] julie29: the binary is probably in /usr/bin or /usr/local/bin [16:50] MonkeyDust: i will tell you when i'm able to find it! :p [16:50] seronis: hold on! [16:50] julie29 it's not in the repos [16:51] seronis: nothing there :( [16:51] MonkeyDust: i know! [16:52] seronis: what do i do? i really need help with this [16:53] how do i install proprietary nvidia drivers? [16:53] what files are you trying to edit? configuration? google says ~/.config/sublime-text-2 [16:54] julie29: i dont use sublime FYI. so im limited to suggested the 'normal' locations that programs place files [16:54] seronis: yes, but shouldn't i be able to find SOMETHING when searching for "sublime"? [16:55] seronis: how do i search ALL FILES? [16:58] i made the mistake of clicking "install youtube" in firefox.. now i want this ubuntu-specific app to go away... but i'm unsure what the name of the app is, and i'm wondering if any of you know its name? [16:59] join ubuntu-classroom [16:59] seronis: HELLO?! [16:59] julie29: 'sudo updatedb && locate sublime' [16:59] SolarisB1y: thank you! [16:59] rajeev: was that directed toward me?... [16:59] julie29: your welcome. [17:00] heath: you mean you allowed youtube to intergrate to your desktop? See here http://www.google.co.uk/url?sa=t&rct=j&q=&esrc=s&source=web&cd=1&ved=0CC4QFjAA&url=http%3A%2F%2Faskubuntu.com%2Fquestions%2F166655%2Fhow-do-i-remove-a-website-from-ubuntus-web-applications&ei=_TOmUe6aEYmm0wWIoIHYDA&usg=AFQjCNHaR5u9NyZSoJTzPkwRlbBftmts5Q&sig2=ACRrKYT0BStlJq4mpdwRYQ&bvm=bv.47008514,d.d2k&cad=rja [17:00] handuel: ty sir [17:01] julie29: No one is required to answer your questions, and most people do not just idle on here waiting for questions. Maybe if you explained what you are trying to do again, someone else could jump in if seronis is unable to answer now. [17:02] Oh, looks like you got an answer already :-) [17:02] Can you help me please. I forget my pass root [17:02] ? [17:02] Can you help me please. I forget my pass root [17:02] yea julie29 there is probably a more accurate way to find whatever your looking for but that will do it too - but if you explain a little what you want more people can help ya [17:03] adamk: yes, sorry [17:03] SolarisB1y: no, you helped me a lot. i found just what i was looking for! [17:03] cool beans ;> [17:03] another question: how do i save changes to a file that needs special permissions? [17:03] julie29: one thing to keep in mind is linux uses a different file organization than Windows. So 'find files' isnt very specific. Binaries (executables) go in a different place than documents. Plugins are usually installed in a similar place as configuration files which are in the users home directory [17:03] hacktus0: you set a root password? Not clever, or do you mean your only sudo account [17:04] hacktus0, there is no root pass [17:04] seronis: thanks and sorry for yelling at you :) [17:04] julie29: what type of file and do you mean it's owned by another user so you need to use sudo to modify it? [17:04] hacktus0: There is no root password. Ubuntu uses sudo instead to root-type things [17:04] julie29, caps lock means yelling on the internet :B [17:04] lol [17:04] julie29: if the case is the latter - just open the file in an editor that was started with privileges and save it the same way - 'sudo vim' 'gksudo gedit' [17:04] SolarisB1y: no, i'm the only user, and this is what it says "you don't have the permissions to save the file!" [17:05] julie29: what file/ where is it? [17:05] hacktus0: to reset a password boot into recovery mode (hold shift at boot to access grub menu), then select remount file systems from the menu, and then select root terminal, and type passwd USERNAMETORESETPASSSWORDFOR [17:05] hacktus0: and if you really need a root shell, 'sudo -s' but that's advised against [17:05] julie29: under the same pretense the file may be in a location not writeable by your user (theres always more users than 1 on linux - or should be) [17:05] SolarisB1y: give me a minute [17:05] julie29: so under the same solution use sudo or gksudo to elevate your privs [17:05] ok. [17:06] julie29: the file wasnt opened with the proper permissions so its in read-only mode. close it out and reopen as solar suggested (gksudo gedit [filename]) [17:06] seronis: yes, hold on :) [17:06] lol [17:07] handuel I did it but it write sorry /etc/shadow is lock [17:07] SolarisB1y: btw, any idea how I can get 'gksudo gedit' to stop opening a dummy untitled doc ? [17:07] seronis: pass the document name you want to open as an argument to it [17:07] yup.. do that. and it opens properly [17:07] hrmm weird [17:07] SolarisB1y: seronis: it worked! thanks! :) [17:07] AND a 2nd tab is also created with an unsaved untitled doc [17:08] seronis: it's a none bug, gnome team refuse to fix it [17:08] if there isn't an option that sounds like a bug seronis === BTCOxygen is now known as Guest19346 === BTCOxygen|1 is now known as BTCOxygen [17:08] atleast imho.. [17:08] seronis: meaning if there isn't some CLI arg to make it stop that - sounds buggish behaviour [17:08] handuel: oddly enough if i 'forget' to use gksudo and just use sudo, gedit will yell at me but not open a 2nd window [17:08] seronis: apparently "they don't design gnome apps to be run as root" [17:08] SolarisB1y: yet another question... i got a warning message in terminal and i accidently closed the terminal window before reading it. how can i get it back? [17:09] seronis: if you use "gksudo gksudo gedit" it also doens't happen, I've just got an alias set up for gksudo-gedit [17:09] julie29: depends on where the message came from. Was it a reply to some command? if so you could recreate by retyping the command in a new terminal [17:09] handuel: that.. .. *facepalms* [17:09] julie29: ofcourse you should filter whatever it is- like you dont want to do dangerous things twice and thrice =) [17:10] julie29: depending on your history setup you may be able to type 'history' and get a clue as to what you did [17:10] handuel: didnt know that would fix it.. now time to edit my bashrc [17:10] SolarisB1y: i guess it was after using "sudo ghex", but i tried it again and no warning [17:10] possible [17:10] seronis: don't know why the gnome team can't be bothered to patch it, I mean it's not like anyone ever wants to use a gui tool to edit files as root [17:10] but i think i'll just use gkedit for the alias [17:11] vim works for me [17:11] brb [17:11] now for a question i'm almost too scared to ask: why is the a text document in my home folder named "cracked"? :/ [17:11] SolarisB1y: wasd and ijkl navigation in text files doesnt work with my brain [17:11] julie29: no idea. what text file ? [17:12] seronis: in home, there's an empty text file named "cracked" :/ [17:13] julie29: Just delete it, it can't do anything [17:13] handuel: but why is it there? [17:13] julie29: when did you first notice it? [17:13] something you installed created it. you have a bittorrent copy of a paid program maybe? [17:14] seronis: no, installed ubuntu earlier today :) [17:14] Hi all, i am getting this error while trying to mount any of the drives "Error mounting /dev/sda6 at /media/vinu/VINU'S: Command-line `mount -t "ntfs" -o "uhelper=udisks2,nodev,nosuid,uid=1000,gid=1000,dmask=0077,fmask=0177" "/dev/sda6" "/media/vinu/VINU'S"' exited with non-zero exit status 14: The disk contains an unclean file system (0, 0).

Then split that archive in chunks to fit on dvd-r (split -b 4470m -d mydata.tar). Burn those files to dvd-r. [17:38] llutz, hmm, I suppose that could work [17:39] zephyr28: easier to buy a xxTB harddisk and copy the backup-data to it. dvd isn't really usefull to backup huge amounts of data [17:39] OK, I've borrowed a mouse, clicked on a name, and now I get the password entry field. I press ESCape, and there's an outline indicating focus. [17:40] But there seems to be no way to get focus on the login screen without using a mouse. [17:40] zephyr28: and since dvd are organic, i wouldn't store anything valuable on it for a long time [17:40] This looks to be the GNOME login screen, not the Unity login screen...

It shows that my main drive is almost full (99%). Its a 3TB drive. Additionally when I look at the directory totals my home folder is supposedly using 2.6TB but the totals don't even come close. [18:03] DarthExpeditor there's a hidden .Trash1000 folder, delete that [18:04] DarthExpeditor: open disk usage analiser [18:04] just wondering how a 2.6tb home is possible [18:04] MonkeyDust: i thought .trash1000 was only used in fat* fss? [18:04] The disk usage analyzer is how I determined that the percentages don't add up. [18:04] flintser: why not [18:04] Let me check for the trash thing. [18:05] DarthExpeditor: how did you reach that conclusion [18:05] I'll screenshot it. [18:06] no trash folder. [18:07] DarthExpeditor: the prefix '.' means it's a hidden folder, so show hidden folders in nautilus with ctrl+H [18:08] zheoffec: i cant think of 2.6tb of stuff. that is like over 2000 sd movies or half a million pictures [18:08] DarthExpeditor in a terminal, type this line find / -size +1G -exec ls -lh {} \; 2>/dev/null [18:09] flintser: what else will you allocate that space to? /etc? === NePtUnO is now known as NePtUnO|Off [18:10] Hello, where might I find up to date instructions for patching the kernel?

During intsallation, lubuntu installer asks me if I want to import some user preferences from windows (bookmarks etc) but there's not windows entry in grub. [18:35] the guide installs a new 12.04 ubuntu server. you can use parts of the guide for example setting up LAMP if you have a os installed already. you can do this with gui or desktop versions also. but i recommend following the guide from beginning if you arent so experienced amd want to setup a server.

[18:39] Atlantic777: you don't have the windows entry there [18:39] kinesis a ppa is an external software source, careful with it [18:39] ManneW: yeah, I know.

[18:41] Lili? hmm ill check it [18:42] Atlantic777: you have it in the /etc/grub.d directory [18:42] matanya: ok, let me see. [18:42] kinesis don't knwo them as commands [18:42] flintser, should I try another usb drive or should it be fine/ [18:42] Atlantic777: and the command is update-grub [18:43] matanya: sorry, no windows examples in /etc/grub.d [18:43] Atlantic777: you can use the 40_custom file.

[18:49] matanya: ok, I'm rebooting... [18:49] Afteraffekt: you dont need it if you dont want [18:49] matanya: hd device, partitoon sda1 will be hd0,0 sda2 will be 0,1 sdb1 will be hd1,0 [18:49] matanya: was it changed in grub2?

[19:01] TheUsD: you cant. you must use terminal to open it [19:02] I am wanting to edit my hosts file [19:02] alvarezp: no problem, and that repo is just where the debs get copied that contain the stripped out debug syms for packages that don't build a -dbg variant [19:02] I think that gksudo no longer comes with ubuntu, it has to b einstalled before [19:02] thanks [19:02] flintser: Incorrect. [19:02] TheUsD: gksudo gedit /etc/hosts [19:02] ex. gksudo gedit file [19:02] TheUsD: you can add nautilus a open as root context menu [19:03] Corey: how? id like to know how to open /etc/hosts with no terminal or tty at all [19:03] and a tip TheUsD always edit files in the terminal if you can (e.g. vi) [19:03] i mesn edit [19:03] mean* [19:03] if i just use the ubuntu default options for sharing [19:03] Matanya: why is that? [19:03] and give it a really secure password [19:03] is it secure enough? [19:04] there are options to click share this folder [19:04] and share my computer [19:04] flintser: < matanya> TheUsD: you can add nautilus a open as root context menu [19:04] TheUsD: quicker, convenient === brainwash_ is now known as brainwash [19:05] Matanya: Ok, just thought it had something to do with security or stability.

[19:25] Hello ! [19:25] pikaro: there is another one called live-build - and then you can make that stick a device root in KVM and run a normal OS install like that also - [19:25] pikaro: so thats 3 ways [19:25] CLI-ubuntist: ubuntu server. special image [19:25] pikaro: you may be interested in looking at live-build if your on debian, it's available for ubuntu but it's maintained by teh debian folks [19:26] strange that those aren't mentioned on ubuntu's own help page [19:26] ^^ [19:26] i know debootstrap is a debian util as well [19:26] Is there other differences between the Regular Image and the Server Image other than the GUI? [19:26] i guess most people dont generally use it on the user end [19:26] i do a lot of build out automation so these are inseperable for me [19:27] ok, I'll just see which is easier to use. thanks again :) [19:27] np [19:27] I have a acer aspire one matanya [19:29] Do you know which file contacins gomp?

I almost always close all applications before going into hibernation. What size would you recommend? [20:12] this is rebooting, when finish i put lspci [20:12] its good? [20:12] AnonAMouse: 16GB [20:12] AnonAMouse: well, 8.2GB would be safest... [20:12] mterry: Maybe I'd better check out if dpkg can be run.. [20:13] if i run sudo shutodwn -r now from within a xrdp session i just get logged off...the server doesnt reboot [20:13] AnonAMouse: 2gb won't be enough for sure [20:13] mterry: I tried apt-get, but that wasn't found. [20:13] any workaround, as i dont have access to the hypervisor level. just the ubuntu server vm. [20:13] matanya Even if all applications are closed? [20:13] GunnarHj, ah. I'm guessing nothing is mounted in your busybox [20:13] AnonAMouse: you never know :) [20:13] mterry: That's what I fear, too. [20:14] GunnarHj, you may have to manually mount it [20:14] GunnarHj, do you know how to do that? [20:14] MartynKeigher: what happens if you call init 6? [20:14] mterry: Not without googling around. Can you handhold me on that? [20:14] how do i do that ? [20:14] sudo init 6 [20:14] just init 6 at the terminal? [20:14] one sec. [20:15] the vm has become unrepsonsive-ish since i ran the command so im waiting [20:15] The drive that has Ubuntu installed (second drive is bigger but for Steam games) is only 20GB. with the 2GB swapspace it's down to 11.1GB. [20:15] matanya i have same problem with usb boot ubuntu 13.04 [20:15] it's hardware broken? [20:15] might be [20:16] its atheros AR 9285 [20:16] is there any way to make an application start with the option "always in visible working area" on ? [20:16] i can try someting? [20:16] fisically remove card and clean? [20:17] matanya What would happen if there wasn't enough swapspace? Would it just shutdown instead or freeze? [20:17] Uy_6u57av0_6u1d0: assuming your running Compiz you can try the "Place Windows" plugin [20:18] Uy_6u57av0_6u1d0: if your not running compiz you can try devilspie2 [20:19] SolarisB1y: nothing to do in "native mode" [20:19] AnonAMouse: unexpected things [20:19] How could I go about putting the swapspace on a different hard drive to the one with the OS installed? [20:20] GunnarHj, sorry, got distracted [20:20] GunnarHj, sure can [20:21] xan_it: rmmod ath9k [20:21] sudo rfkill unblock all [20:21] GunnarHj, I *think* you can just do: mount /dev/sda1 /mnt (and adjust sda1 obviously as needed) [20:21] sudo modprobe ath9k [20:21] i cant login in ubuntu [20:22] n72567 what happes? [20:22] n72567 what happens? [20:22] !details| n72567 [20:22] n72567: Please give us full details. For example: "I have a problem with ..., I'm running Ubuntu version .... When I try to do ..., I get the following output: ..., but I expected it to do ..." [20:22] Hey ubuntu, on 12.10, gnome-terminal is sending C-M-j to emacs instead of M-ret. What is causing this and how do I fix it? [20:22] my startx just works for root [20:22] oconnore: use vi :) [20:22] when i run startx with user it closes [20:22] matanya: I do! (for certain things) [20:22] teservices.msc [20:23] mterry: Ok, I'll switch to the other partition and try that. Thanks! Will you be around for a while? [20:23] Omg cmd prompt takes so long to format the right way lol [20:23] n72567: add an entry in /var/run/console for the user [20:23] n72567 why do you need startx? [20:23] crap, wrong computer... [20:23] #adempiere [20:23] GunnarHj, yeah like another hour [20:24] mterry: Ok, then I know. See you. [20:24] i dont need startx but regular login doesnt work su i tested and saw that with startx it just closes so i give u details [20:24] n72567: try my command [20:24] n72567 what happens when you try to login, "doesnt work" is a bit vague [20:25] it just go back to login [20:25] n72567: touch /var/run/console/ [20:25] it says permission denied [20:25] xan_it: any news? [20:26] n72567: sudo touch /var/run/console/ [20:26] and replace username with the actual username [20:26] did now what [20:26] is there a command to tell a raid to become a network drive? [20:26] yes TheUsD [20:26] and then be able to access it from a win machine? [20:26] you can mount the drive trough nfs [20:27] Or in case you want access from Windows, samba [20:27] genii-around: stole my letters off the keyboard [20:27] my x just clses without errors [20:27] TheUsD: Samba, didn't you know that? [20:27] can you get samba in GUI? I cannot find it... :-/ I hate feeling like a noob [20:27] is there some package I can install that will enable 'print to png file' [20:28] Wildwind: you werent supposed to be in here :p [20:28] matanya i do not read before, try it [20:28] TheUsD: samba is a daemon [20:28] I know I keep asking the same questions over and over but after I get some direction and try to research it I seem to not find much answers online.

[20:29] TheUsD: the best way to learn is trial and error [20:29] TheUsD: you have a lot of daemons on your computer, sorry :) [20:29] the problem is with my user [20:29] matanya there is some possibility that are software bug (some days ago all works fine) [20:29] i can login with another user [20:29] ? [20:29] TheUsD: install Zentyal. It's like GUI for your server, windows-speaking [20:30] they are called services in windows [20:30] xan it, give it a shot [20:30] matanya done rmmod [20:30] sudo rfkill unblock all [20:30] sudo modprobe ath9k [20:31] are there any applications that support multi-touch yet? [20:31] yes lesshaste [20:31] most of them [20:31] matanya done [20:31] can somebody help me [20:31] worked xan_it ? [20:31] matanya, can you name one? === mint_ is now known as jack [20:31] inkscape doesn't :) [20:31] lesshaste: shotwell [20:31] matanya, cool! [20:32] n72567: we can't help you without detailed information [20:32] how much more info i can give [20:32] matanya no [20:32] matanya, multitouch support only arrived in in the last 6 months right? [20:33] as i said other users can login to x but not me. x closes and i am back to login page [20:34] im trying to run a program but i get this error: error while loading shared libraries: libsoci_core.so.3.2: cannot open shared object file: No such file or directory. however that file is located in /usr/local/lib64/libsoci_core.so.3.2. I have installed it in a package with this contents: http://paste.ubuntu.com/5714627/ What am I missing? [20:35] I noticed that if I click the menu item, I don't have to specify a password to reboot, etc. But when I type "reboot" or "shutdown -r now", etc. in terminal, it requires super user privileges :( [20:35] diverdude: how are you running the program? [20:35] What does Gnome do to shutdown the computer? I suppose it all comes down to an API call, right? Do shutdown and gnome use a different API call to do their shutdown? [20:35] n72567: login to console (Ctrl+Alt+F1), go to /var/log and read logs [20:36] lmat: i think it uses dbus [20:36] SolarisB1y, directly from the commandline ./programname [20:36] correct lmat [20:36] diverdude: Usually you should create a symbolic link in this case. [20:36] SolarisB1y: Which? Shutdown or gnome? [20:36] lmat, aha i see...from where to where? [20:36] lmat: the shutdown/reboot without password widget your referencing [20:37] diverdude: the link should be in /usr/lib perhaps and point to the file that you want. [20:37] lmat: gnome uses ibus [20:37] which log? [20:37] diverdude: You basically need to put the so (or a link thereunto) on the so "path" (I forgot what it's called). [20:37] library path [20:37] matanya: How do I use ibus from the cmd line? [20:38] lmat: you don't [20:38] Greetings [20:38] diverdude: Did you run something like sudo ldconfig after you installed those libraries? [20:38] matanya: :( but I could rewrite shutdown and reboot to use this, right? [20:38] n72567: Xorg.0.log to begin with [20:38] yes lmat [20:38] you can use ldconfig and ld.so.conf.d directory to update the paths properly diverdude [20:38] lmat, so ln -s /usr/local/lib64/libsoci_core.so.3.2 /usr/lib/libsoci_core.so.3.2 ? [20:39] no [20:39] diverdude: perhaps...I would defer to others, but this might work ^_^ [20:39] diverdude: http://www.cyberciti.biz/faq/linux-setting-changing-library-path/ [20:39] read this and try it like that is the proper way [20:39] you can link but thats not as stable [20:40] as i said other users can login to x so x is not a problem [20:40] and it logs show no error [20:40] it is a problem for you [20:40] you want to try ldconfig -v |grep "/usr/local/lib64" if that path isn't there - add it in a file under /etc/ld.so.conf.d/mynelibpath.conf [20:40] and then run 'sudo ldconfig' [20:40] sigh [20:40] the library should be available then [20:41] n72567: check auth.log? [20:42] n72567: is it just a default installation with a normal DM and login screen? or is this something highly customized? [20:42] customized [20:42] Sup [20:43] hellopat, Will Gnome 3.6 or higher ever come to the repos of Ubuntu 12.04? I mean it is LTS, after all... [20:43] n72567: OK, backup and clear user home (from another user's session) and test again [20:43] bennypr0fane: most likely no [20:44] I asked this at askubuntu.com, and got "This post does not meet our quality standards." What's up with that? It's a concise enough question... [20:44] bennypr0fane: id canonical deems it stable sure [20:44] if [20:44] bennypr0fane: to theoretical there [20:45] *too [20:45] n72567: hope it's not 10GB+ home :) [20:45] the LTS is for things that should be stable - so if canonical feels 3.6 can be stably implemented and decides to add it - yes - if not no - ultimately it was probably not answered because it doesnt really have an answer [20:45] seems stable enouhg to me on other distro. I know 3.8 is not, but 3.6 hasn't crashed on me once. Also they've released a version of 12.10 and 13.04 each with 3.6 [20:45] right - but then your not canonical =) [20:45] and that system isn't ubuntu 12.04 LTS =) [20:46] SolarisB1y, right, completely fogrot about that [20:46] LTS are supposed to be rock solid bennypr0fane [20:46] ;> not tryna be a smarty pants but seriously its probably a long drawn out developer answer as to why thta you dont want to hear - at the least it's a long political update you dont want to here [20:47] I often wake up believing I'm Canonical :-) [20:47] ;> [20:47] better than waking up and believe you are microsoft bennypr0fane [20:47] or apple for the case [20:47] Hi. [20:47] are you saying stability standards are higher for LTS than for the other releases? [20:48] yes canonicals "standards" are higher there [20:48] LTS has software that canonical is more comfortable providing support for in a longer term (eg. 5 years), whether that translates to better stability, IDK [20:48] good explanation tgm4883 [20:49] If Gnome 3.8 is already released, that means 3.4 is certainly not seeing any more improvements, is it? [20:49] bennypr0fane: that doesn't neccesarily mean that [20:49] or not even 3.6...? [20:50] bennypr0fane: also what you'll notice is a lot of times what happens is the devs at the distro your interested in are reviewing it and patching it the way they want IF they are looking to implement it - so a lot of other stuff is involved [20:50] I mean if the GNome team have released a newer version, why should they still fix things in older ones? [20:50] because its on their distro === Guest63095 is now known as rclancy [20:51] this is a common thing - like how rhel still ships ruby 1.8.7 albeit it's patched by redhat to address teh security CVEs that make the ruby community ditch it for 1.9.x [20:52] ahammond, you mean the *Ubuntu* people will look after fixing whatever they use in that distro while it's already abandoned by the Gnome devs [20:52] Why is everything always worse on Ubuntu? I used Ubuntu for nearly two years and never once saw anything actually improve. I have, however, seen Ubuntu make things worse. Could someone honestly answer my question? [20:52] not ahmmond, just ah [20:52] bennypr0fane: :) [20:52] AlexNagy: be specific... [20:52] AlexNagy: do you have a specific support question? [20:52] mterry: Well, "mount /dev/sda6 /mnt" didn't work. Neither /dev/sda? nor /mnt is visible. [20:52] I see at https://launchpad.net/ubuntu/+search?text=udev that udev isn't supposed to be available in saucy, which indicates that it's not that package that needs to be fixed anyway... [20:52] Any other ideas, or should I prepare myself to install a fresh saucy? :( [20:53] yeats: nah, he's trollin! :) [20:53] Gnome 2 vs Unity, Gimp 2.6 vs. Gimp 2.8 (I don't see how you guys made Gimp worse, but you did), forcing a migration from OOo to LO. [20:53] ubuntu has improved loads over the years i remember using 8.x ::mehsandwiches:: [20:53] yeats: no support question, just a legit question. [20:53] GunnarHj, udev is still in saucy, just provided by a different source package (systemd) [20:53] !ot | AlexNagy [20:53] AlexNagy: #ubuntu is the Ubuntu support channel, for all Ubuntu-related support questions. Please use #ubuntu-offtopic for other topics (though our !guidelines apply there too). Thanks! [20:53] hi how do i setup ubuntu 10.4 as a dialup server, i have a remote location with no internet connection and i need to be able to connect to my netwrok here [20:54] AlexNagy: do you have a specific problem that you need help with? [20:54] GunnarHj, do you have /dev/hda? [20:54] btw the question I *tried* to post on askubuntu didn't just not get an answer, but it was automatically rejected. Maybe they believe a precise question cannot be that short [20:54] AlexNagy: not a legit question, a bunch of complaints based on your personal opinions. :) [20:54] mterry: Aha, then I misunderstood that LP page. [20:54] bennypr0fane: the nature of your question makes it a looooong answer seriously [20:55] bennypr0fane: you got parts of the long answer in here ... [20:55] imagine a guy managing those posts, hes not trying to holla at ya for that long.. lol [20:55] SolarisBly I get that, but how does the site know that? === milind__ is now known as abyss42 [20:55] mterry: I don't know... Need to check. [20:55] hes like - OFFTOPIC denied go to sleep [20:55] it wasn't rejected by a person, but automatically [20:55] ::shrugs:: no clue bennypr0fane [20:55] It is a legit question, based on the fact that Unity sucks compared to even Gnome 3, the defaults forced on the Ubuntu Gimp 2.8 package make Gimp worse, and based on the fact that whenever you force anyone to migrate to a software someone else prefers, it's no better than Microsoft and how they operate. [20:55] bennypr0fane: maybe they regex Gnome versions lmao [20:56] mterry: What's your idea if I have /dev/hda? [20:56] but I'm off to the other channel to get an answer. [20:56] if ($_ =~ /Gnome 3\.\d+/) {"fail"} [20:56] AlexNagy: Have you filed any bugs regarding the problems? [20:56] * SolarisB1y rofling [20:56] AlexNagy: good luck. :) [20:57] AlexNagy: and I kind of agree that Unity sucks… but then I don't use Ubuntu on my desktop. [20:57] AlexNagy, the "sucks" in your complaint is a very subjective one [20:57] And… you might spend some time learning about apt configurations, PPAs etc before talking about stuff being forced on anyone. [20:57] DJones: Filed a bug report? To what end? Ubuntu is moving quickly to only being usable on high-end desktops. [20:57] bennypr0fane: perhaps [20:58] AlexNagy: If people don't file bugs/feature requests, then the developers won't know that there is a problem between how they and the users see the system going [20:58] GunnarHj, just /dev/hda without numbers after it? [20:58] what confuses me is what do people want other than unity? or is it the performance? mines works fine, previous to unity folks would install gnome-do or other sorts of other similar apps, which if you ask me, reflect unity [20:58] so i get lost to the unity complaints as just whining a lot [20:58] complaining that the defaults suck without really specific things you'd like to see changed isn't gonna help anyone. Filing bugs/feature requests with specific complaints and suggestions for improvements however… :) [20:58] GunnarHj, the idea is to use hda instead of sda in the mount line if you have them [20:59] SolarisB1y, I see the Unity thing in a similar way [20:59] mterry: You mean "mount /dev/hda /mnt"? [20:59] yea - i like it. a lot better than that gnome-shell madness [20:59] brb [20:59] I prefer WindowMaker in all honesty (couldn't find it in the official PPAs), but used Gnome 2 instead (I got tired of KDE a long time ago). [21:00] GunnarHj, yeah, but you'd need to specify /dev/hdaX, where X is a number of the partition for your main ubuntu install. And you may want to mkdir /mnt first [21:00] What's the correct Ubuntu/Debian way to turn services on and off (like rc-update in Gentoo or chkconfig in opensuse)? [21:00] Inv1s1ble: rc-update [21:01] Inv1s1ble: update-rc.d [21:01] matanya some idea? [21:01] dryicebomb, spanks! [21:01] yeah, i meant what dryicebomb said :) [21:01] xan_it: it didn't work? [21:01] no [21:02] file a bug [21:02] on launchpad? [21:02] yes [21:03] or upstream on gnome if you can prove it is gnome's fault [21:03] actually i see that my second pc have same wifi card and works good [21:03] mterry: I'll try that now. Otherwise I'm getting mentally prepared to start it all over. You can spend your time better than fixing some stupid mistake I did... [21:03] with the same os/driver etc xan_it ? [21:03] GunnarHj, :) As long as you're not losing any important data, no big deal in starting over, yeah [21:04] still my Gnome Shell topic though: if Canonical still fix problems in 3.6 (that I'm sure they will, as there's a Gnome flavoured release 2nd ed now), at some point they might decide it's been trained well enough to be ok for LTS, yes? I mean sounds like it could happen to me...? [21:04] same uname -a === MartinS is now known as Guest55896 [21:04] bennypr0fane: try to figure that out at #ubuntu-gnome [21:05] matanya, I am placing my WIn 8 installer back on my USB drive, heres to hoping it can see my drive now [21:05] mterry: I can access and copy /home from my main partition. Then it's mostly the dev tools I need to reinstall. [21:05] best of luck Afteraffekt [21:05] mterry: But I'll give it a try. Thanks a lot for your help! [21:05] matanya, good call [21:05] Does anyone know if I can get multiple cursers on ubuntu? [21:05] you can Leif [21:06] matanya: Thanks. I've been googling it without much luck, would you know how? [21:06] with more than one mice Leif ? [21:07] matanya: With one device that can recognize multiple touches preferably. [21:07] matanya: I did get multiple cursors showing up with two mice plugged in. [21:07] didn't test it ever. [21:07] matanya: Although it was very buggy.

[21:25] there will be extra characters so a simple md5sum is not sufficient what that does is finds the size of the iso and only performs a sum on that part of the disk you copied the iso too [21:25] it should generate the same sum as md5sum file.iso [21:26] if it does - you have verified integrity [21:26] |thunder: ^ [21:26] So I just installed Zentyal, started to do its configuration on another machine, it gets hung at 52% and now I cannot HTTPS back into the server...

[21:31] remove the -t and it's argument [21:31] And how do I stop it? [21:31] which causes it to run indefinitely stopped by 'q' within the window it was run in [21:31] ^ [21:31] Ah. [21:31] But 'Q' is a bound key in Minecraft, can I change it? [21:32] no and it shouldn't matter because the focus wont be on mindcraft when you hit q [21:32] Or do I have to change MC controls? [21:32] it willbe on a shell [21:32] Oh ok. [21:32] there is an alternate method also a CTRL sequence - it's displayed when you run the program [21:33] yea 'Press ctrl-c to stop encoding' [21:33] Okay. [21:33] Can I change the output format or do I have to reencode? [21:33] additionally you can record in other formats than flv if you desired just change the file extension and relative options [21:33] dichotoPangea: you can [21:34] Okay. I need .avi for the YouTubes, correct? [21:34] .avi - but remember you may invalidate some of the options so you may want to read up on what opts the various containers take [21:34] dichotoPangea: think so. you can encode to flv and re-encode or just encode directly to avi - ill tell you avi can get huge from screencasting very quick [21:35] Yeah, but YouTube doesn't support .flv, right? [21:35] Or do they? === felipe__ is now known as Guest68428 [21:35] not sure really haven't uploaded in a while - i think avi is the safe bet. but it's more than definitely specified on the youtube site if you need to be sure [21:36] hi! [21:37] Hello, I just installed Zentyal 3.0 and started to configure it on the HTTPS, after finishing configuring it and it was doing the finalizing it got to 52% and hung. I restarted the computer but now I cannot get access to the HTTPS anymore, any thoughts? [21:37] TheUsD: is there any log file for that application? or does it log somewhere general? probably need to look there to see whats going on [21:38] 5 day old ubuntu user, gots not clue. [21:40] update; I can access it locally with my public IP...but not on another computer with the public ip... [21:40] possibly there is a ACL on the webserver or a rule in the firewall that is actively denying [21:40] what response do you get? refused? HTTP errors? [21:41] SolarisB1y: Where would I find the video on my system? === mike_ is now known as Guest59177 === sgornick is now known as Guest57035 [21:41] solarisbly: great point, just installed the firewall, duh, didnt think of that. [21:41] And would it record audio? [21:42] dichotoPangea: its user defined and yes it can record audio not in that case you didn't tell it to [21:42] How do I tell it to record audio? [21:42] dichotoPangea: what kind of mic do you have? is it a stand alone or is attached to some other device like a web cam or so? === sgornick_ is now known as Guest98893 [21:43] I have a mic on a headset, but I don't think it gets picked up by my computer. I also have a built-in one and one on a webcam. [21:44] dichotoPangea: try 'aplay -L' to list the recording devices - find yours [21:44] hey guys, I have a question. why most of the files are now being run with gedit?I mean, .bin .bundle .sh formatless could be opened witha double-click after it being marked as executable, now all of them open with gedit and the only way to run them is through console, why is this? [21:44] dichotoPangea: look for the line like 'card 0: Intel [HDA Intel], device 1: ALC888 Digital [ALC888 Digital]' [21:44] Don't really know what the output means [21:44] im trying to explain it.... [21:44] card 0: Generic [HD-Audio Generic]? [21:44] anyway take the card number and the device number and add it to the same command i previous gave you once you figure it out [21:45] I don't know which one I'm using. [21:45] thank you guyzzz.... [21:45] i was able to install skipe [21:45] like i said - review the output for your card - you should atleast know your card name come on [21:45] anyone know if there is a netbook "version" of ubuntu.. I know I saw something like that at one time [21:45] if not - you need to figure it out - [21:45] gentlemen, I have got a major issue... [21:45] modernbob: they rolled it into the current release [21:46] How do I find out my card? And I want to use the mic on my webcam. [21:46] utfans05: reason I ask is the video on this netbook is stupid pokey [21:46] modernbob: are you using the stock drivers that came with it or do you have a dedicated card [21:46] once you do - this is how you would do audio as well. ffmpeg -y -t 00:15:30 -f x11grab -r 25 -s 1920x1080 -i :0.0 -f alsa -i plughw:0,1 -acodec libmp3lame -ab 128k sameq /tmp/vagrantIPsoftClientAutomation.flv [21:46] i installed ubuntu 13.04 [21:47] and den wanted to go on rpm version of linux as well [21:47] remember to replace the plughw:0,1 with your actual card and device numbers [21:47] so went for fedora [21:47] and you may need to swap codecs depending on what your mic takes [21:47] but fedora din't get installed.... [21:47] play with it - ill brb [21:47] video and ubuntu oh the joys (i havnt been able to stop the screen tearing after tens of hours and hundreds of threads later) i gave up and deal with it [21:47] rather formatted all d drives of ma pc [21:48] toshiba don't hit the enter key too often, it's getting a headache [21:48] is dere any way to fix that? [21:48] toshiba now repeat all that in one line [21:49] @search jumpstart to skinny [21:49] oops sorry [21:49] Need help with UbuntuOne command line shit. I've got UbuntuOne daemon running and now I want it to connect to my UbuntuOne account. [21:50] i installed ubuntu 13.04 and then wanted to migrate on fedora but wasn't able to install fedora rather fedora setup formatted all the drives of pc.....is there any way to recover the data back [21:50] speckmade1: you should open the gui and do that [21:50] speckmade1: the u1tool isn't very helpful in practice for me [21:50] I can't access any GUI [21:50] ahh nice [21:50] SolarisB1y, I get this: http://pastebin.com/hz6Njdz3 [21:50] !recover | toshiba [21:50] toshiba: Some tools to recover lost data are listed and explained at https://help.ubuntu.com/community/DataRecovery - Recovering deleted files on !ext3 filesystems can be virtually impossible, although methods that might work is some cases are described at at http://www.xs4all.nl/~carlo17/howto/undelete_ext3.html and http://projects.izzysoft.de/trac/ext3undel [21:51] SolarisB1y: that's more or less the problem [21:51] toshiba: your drives seem ready to install Ubuntu back [21:51] dichotoPangea: as stated make sure you confirm your resolution with xrandr first [21:51] yepp... [21:51] i installed ubuntu back [21:51] dichotoPangea: type xrandr and look for the res with the asterix next to it change the -s 1920x1080 to your res [21:52] speckmade1: i see one second not sure if you can do it all from cli - ill check. [21:52] toshiba: installsd already? then it's a bit too late to rescue data... relax [21:53] toshiba: (joke) [21:53] is it? [21:54] toshiba: was there anything really valuable? worth hours of routine recovery work? [21:54] SolarisB1y: I read I have to get an OAuth key somehow and enter it into the config file. There's a guide with a python script that's supposed to get me the key - but it just fails for me. [21:54] Now I get this: http://pastebin.com/QtMPdSKq [21:54] speckmade1: correct and the OathKey afaik is created in a pop default browser window [21:54] yepp... [21:54] *popup [21:54] my apps were dere [21:55] developed by me [21:55] toshiba: what your drice partitioning is? [21:55] i have kept 1 for dos [21:55] and another fat 32 [21:55] toshiba: was your data on / (system) or separate partition? [21:56] SolarisB1y: Now I get this: http://pastebin.com/QtMPdSKq [21:56] wildwind : data was on windows filesystem [21:56] in my pc only [21:56] toshiba: oh [21:57] dichotoPangea: do me a favor when you copy.paste to pastie include the command you ran - did you change the extension? [21:57] if so -sameq may have been defuncted - if so remove it and try [21:57] or rather - it seems you may have a typo if it's looking at sameq as a filename and not a arg - so again what command did you run? [21:57] toshiba: do you know where in the drive it was? start, end sectors [21:57] The command was [21:58] ffmpeg -y -f x11grab -r 25 -s 1366x768 -i :0.0 -f alsa -i plughw:2,0 -acodec libmp3lame -ab 128k sameq /tmp/vagrantIPsoftClientAutomation.flv [21:58] dichotoPangea: -sameq [21:58] wildwind : nope [21:58] :( [21:58] dichotoPangea: seems a - got lost in traslation you need to add one in front of sameq it should be -sameq [21:58] toshiba: have you looked at those partitions to see if they are really reformatted? It would be worth mounting each to a temp mountpoint and checking...there is a chance the data is still there [21:58] the rest looks fine . [21:58] Okay, new error. [21:58] ill be back going to smoke [21:58] .... hurry - [21:58] toshiba: bad [21:58] yea [21:59] SolarisB1y: the python script says "ImportError: No module named simplejson" [22:00] wildwind : any chance? [22:00] speckmade1: you may need to install it [22:00] speckmade1: sudo pip install simpljson or grab it with apt-get (actually do that first) [22:00] dichotoPangea: the error? [22:01] toshiba: basically there's two approaches: more intelligent - recover filesystem and more brute-force - blindly search for file signatures and pray they were not fragmented. there's utilities for both [22:01] dichotoPangea: your prolonging my smoke break =) [22:01] http://pastebin.com/vkWGEfGi [22:01] tell me the intelligent 1 first :D [22:02] ok flv container doesn't like the args hmm try with no audio - so remove '-f alsa -i plughw:2,0 -acodec libmp3lame -ab 128k ' if you can get it working - you will need to build a new command up with non offensive args [22:02] its most likely the audio bit rate or the the encoding of the audio [22:02] toshiba: btw are you sure you didn't full format drive/partitions in the process? [22:03] wildwind :not sure [22:03] toshiba: ( [22:03] yea dichotoPangea read the output you posted: '[libmp3lame @ 0x96fac40] flv does not support that sample rate, choose from (44100, 22050, 11025).' [22:03] wildwind : well, i don't think, i attempt that... [22:03] change the -ab parameter to one of those they listed there - [22:04] dichotoPangea: ^^ ill brb ok? [22:04] Which is best? [22:04] the highest assuming your audio is spitting it out at that rate [22:04] Alrighty. [22:04] so change the -ab arg to one of those ones [22:05] Will any one do? [22:05] hello hello [22:05] toshiba: for the first approach to work you have to determine somehow start sector of lost partition (mandatory) and end sector (preferable) [22:06] toshiba: btw didn't you use Github or something for your code? [22:06] nope [22:06] i shud have used :( [22:06] toshiba: consider that ) [22:06] yepp... [22:07] can someone help me with my network config? [22:07] for some reason, the NIC gets diabled during the boot [22:08] wildwind : u r programmer as well? [22:08] and the connection led on the router goes out, but during POST, everything was fine [22:08] how can I remove this directory? rm -rf doesn't work rm: cannot remove `cpt.5148062184500/.nfs00000000000a29e5000000b5': Device or resource busy === klixa is now known as al3x [22:08] how does this happen ? [22:08] toshiba: to recover NTFS there's lot of commercial utilities: Easy Recovery, ZAR, etc. [22:08] toshiba: yes [22:09] okay...will try then, mate! [22:09] meanwhile i am installing skype under root... [22:09] toshiba: DMDE also, used it myself [22:09] will that be accessible to a user? [22:10] wildwind : oki [22:11] toshiba: the latter has free version btw [22:11] oki [22:11] wildwind: m installing skype under root, will that be accessible to user? [22:12] toshiba: you mean via sudo? [22:12] yepp [22:12] toshiba: i think there's no other way to install [22:12] Aw! [22:13] hey, does anyone else find that with dnsmasq enabled (as it is by default), DNS flakes out for seconds or minutes at a time? [22:15] tt: bad link? [22:15] nope [22:15] found it [22:15] http://ubuntuforums.org/showthread.php?t=2098855 [22:16] what happens is NetworkManager switches networks, kills the old dnsmasq, and starts a new one [22:16] if killing the old one is too slow, the new one can't open a listening socket [22:16] and until you switch networks again, you have no DNS [22:16] tt: wow === Plinker__ is now known as Plinker [22:18] SolarisB1y: python modules - alright. I got the OAuth key and tried to put it into the syncdaemon.conf [22:19] SolarisB1y: that one was empty (or didn't exist) - now I'm not sure whether it was sucessful. [22:20] hi [22:20] SolarisB1y: u1sdtool --status: description: ready to connect; is_online: False; is_connected: False [22:21] tt: dnsmasq can be told new dns server address via DBus or poll resolv.conf for changes. why restart? [22:22] speckmade1: try u1sdtool --connect and then 'watch u1sdtool --status' [22:24] SolarisB1y: did that already and placed a test file into the ~/Ubuntu One [22:24] SolarisB1y: now status changed to "queues: WORKING" [22:25] speckmade1: tail -f ~/.cache/ubuntuone/log/*.log also you may get better info as to what it's working on [22:27] Toshiba: a very powerful data recovery tool for NTFS is GetitbackNTFS [22:27] you can find it on any Hirens CD. [22:27] SolarisB1y: dbus.String(u'Can not find a GUI to present to the user (tried with "(dbus.String(u\'ubuntu-sso-login-qt\'), \'ubuntu-sso-login-qt\')"). Aborting.') [22:27] SolarisB1y: raise NoAccessToken(e) [22:27] ouch [22:28] well looks like you'll need a gui - maybe you can install xlibs and do this over a Xforwarded ssh session, assuming that would work maybe it will popopen whatever on your remote box [22:29] toshiba: download a hirens .iso, burn it to cd and boot into min-xp and then run the GetitbackNTFS. [22:30] toshiba: they are up to like hirens 15xx or maybe even 16.xx but my favorite is 10.2 === DouglasKAway is now known as DouglasK [22:33] is there a way to have more then one buffer for copy&paste globally for the x-server? so that for example ctrl +c+1 will work with ctrl v+1 and ctrl +c+2 and ctrl +v+2 or something like that? so that i can hold more then one buffer globally [22:33] is there any way to initialise my network card? [22:34] Iceman_B: initialise? [22:34] every now and then, it seems like ubuntu turns off my NIC during boot [22:34] so no network connection ever goes up [22:34] hello. Would someone mind taking a look at this pastebin and telling me if installing VPN software caused this problem? http://pastebin.com/aWVzBs7s [22:34] but all the cables etc are fine [22:35] its just that the lights on the router for the specific cable goes out when the network is first being....started [22:35] Iceman_B: what is the output of "sudo ifup eth0" [22:35] ...is it normal for pulseaudio to chew ~10% of a core just to play music? [22:35] iceroot:I think its up now, lemme see [22:36] "ifup: interface eth0 already configured" [22:36] but all I did was a reboot [22:37] Iceman_B: and the network is working now? [22:38] SolarisB1y: I tend to just swear for now. Didn't they want to make money with that? Don't wanna get Dropbox because of non-free client... :-/ Thanks so far, anyway. [22:38] deckard: seems to be from lack of support for 32 bit libraries rather than VPN installation. [22:39] they are all installed though :/ [22:39] i installed skype under root, now while logging in, it is throwing an error that skype can't log u in as u r already logged in.PLease logout and try again [22:39] each one is the most current [22:39] iceroot: i think parcellite remembers all your copy items [22:39] i even created a new user and same issue SolarisB1y [22:39] speckmade1: yea i never noticed that actually =( and i aggree i opted for ubuntu one because it was the "ubuntu" thing to do - but i have had my head aches and the support has been pretty lame about it (actual ubuntu support not in here) [22:39] otak: i will have a look, i also found glipper [22:40] !skype [22:40] To install Skype on Ubuntu, see https://help.ubuntu.com/community/Skype - To record on Skype, check: https://wiki.ubuntu.com/SkypeRecordingHowto - Please use open protocols instead if you can, see !Ekiga [22:40] ugh, ekiga [22:40] i installed skype under root, now while logging in, it is throwing an error that skype can't log u in as u r already logged in.PLease logout and try [22:40] SolarisB1y, maybe the live cd and repair it all? [22:40] can any 1 help me? [22:41] deckard: interesting - there are some other errors in the script exection as well - missing directories etc etc [22:41] toshiba: sudo killall skype [22:41] yes i have no idea how [22:41] while logging into root? [22:41] it worked then in installed Astrill vpn client and whamo [22:41] toshiba: You don't need the sudo if you are already root. [22:41] toshiba: just "killall skype" [22:41] oki [22:41] deckard: strange [22:41] toshiba: Then restart skype and try to log in. [22:42] deckard: are you sure you didn't run it from a specific location and now your not there? [22:42] i have done nothing different SolarisB1y [22:42] '/home/deckard/Phoenix_Firestorm-Release_i686_4.4.0.33720/firestorm: line 98: ./etc/register_hopprotocol.sh: No such file or directory' this is looking to execute relative to a ./etc [22:42] always ran from home [22:42] do you have ./etc/register_hopprotocol.sh under where you ran that from? [22:42] i dont know [22:43] you should check because that script is calling something that it expects there - so it should probably be there - i have no idea what the script deoes or how fatal that not being there is [22:43] iceroot: yes, its working now [22:43] when it's not working, I get something like "no broadcast device" or something [22:43] will live cd offer the ability to reset ubutnu half partition pretty pain free? [22:43] SolarisB1y, [22:44] deckard: something else you would want to do is rn this script with verbosity - if it is a shell script you can do /bin/sh -x
